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

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'moved out of teaching' does not involve an NP object that is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a change in profession or role.

He was a teacher and a trade unionist . But his love of the outdoors left a legacy for his local community . Today ( Sunday ) a simple tribute was unveiled to Rob Trueblood . A plaque was installed next to six willow saplings already planted in his memory at Springwater Park in Whitefield . Rob played a key part in assisting the setting up of a group of volunteers whose work at the country park has helped create an urban oasis in the shadow of the M60 . The River Irwell and River Roch merge there and , during the seasons , sand martins , kingfishers , grey wagtails , dippers , kestrels , buzzards , and little egrets are among the birds which breed , feed , and hunt in its grassy fields and clough . The land , just a mile and a half from Junction 17 of the motorway , one of the busiest in the region , has been reclaimed by nature after it was once an industrial site . Scattered through the woods are ruins of bleachworks buildings - cobbled paths and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a symphony of birdsong can be heard in its woods every day . In 2016 Rob had the vision to write to Bury Council 's Greenspaces Officer , Paul Robinson suggesting a Friends of group be set up for Springwater Park . He wrote : " I went over to have a look and - OMG x 100 ! - could n't believe how much balsam there was lining the access road and along the Irwell , not to mention the giant hogweed .... so there 's a job for some time to come . " Springwater Park in Whitefield - now designated as a local nature reserve ( Image : ABNM Photography ) He added there were two distinct user groups . One was ' those who drive in down the very rutted track off Lily Hill Road and can be split into weed smokers and dog owners who let the hound out while they wait in the car ' adding : " I do n't think this category needs much of our attention just now " . But he added the other group were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at least they 're being active . This - admittedly pretty varied -group needs to be supported . ' In his letter he said there some well-used paths but they were " dark and forbidding " when trees were in leaf but added that there were " splendid views " to the north including Peel Tower . He suggests the paths could be developed into circular walks and the industrial heritage of the bleachworks featured . Alan Bailey , chair of the Love Springwater group , with volunteers , Alan Pritchard , and Caroline Brice , next to the tribute to Rob Trueblood He adds : " A Friends group would need an active social media profile to establish its presence and enable engagement and local feedback . The slog work of balsam slashing and litter picking would need to continue but at least it could be set in a wider context of promoting greater local use . A Friends group could be a minimal responsibility to launch and run ... just a vehicle . " His letter sowed a seed and , nearly eight years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Friends group which he helped launch , Springwater Park was , last month , granted nature reserve status by Bury council . Chris Malkin , a member of the Love Springwater Park group , said : " Rob was key to setting up the Love Springwater Park group , providing solid advice on tool purchase , tackling invasive species , setting up the history trail etc. all tempered with a shrewd understanding of the various groups that use this public space . " Bury council once maintained Springwater Park , but it is now cared for by the group , who have organised a history trail , new footpaths , and the planting of hundreds of saplings . The plaque attached to a tree stump says : " Rob Trueblood inspired and supported the community 's work here in Springwater Park . His life was cut short in 2022 when he was 73 . He was a teacher , trade unionist , environmental and community activist . Rob loved to be outdoors and on the move , allowing his enquiring mind to develop a rich picture of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ plaque fixed to a tree stump in honour of teacher , trade unionist , and environmentalist , Rob Trueblood Chris said : " There are already tributes to Rob at the countryside barn at Philips Park and at Warwick Street Green in Prestwich , a new pocket park that he was instrumental in saving from development . " Springwater Park is the seventh local nature reserve in Bury . Areas of green space close to communities , they are important habitats for wildlife and valuable recreation areas . The other six are : Philips Park , Chesham , Hollins Vale , Redisher Wood , Chapelfield and Kirklees Valley . All have community groups that are actively involved in the management of each site , which are well used by schools and other local groups .. Since forming in 2017 , the Friends of Springwater Park have been keen to see the site recognised for its importance for wildlife and recreational value . Alan Bailey , chair of Love Springwater Park , said : " We are delighted that Springwater Park is being declared as a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ improve the park for the local community , and this is a welcome acknowledgement of that and of the importance of the site for wildlife and recreation . " Rob Trueblood Councillor Alan Quinn , cabinet member for the environment , climate change and operations , said : " I am delighted by the level of support the Friends have shown for Springwater Park over the last five years . Their efforts have culminated in Springwater Park being designated as the borough 's seventh Local Nature Reserve . " Local Nature Reserve designation can help with grant bids and attracting external funding . According to an archaeological report by United Utilities in 2013 , when they were planning to install a pipeline through the park , and research by local photographer Andy Carson , the first Springwater Works were established in 1827 by an Alfred Thomas . It was a calico printing works , to print patterns onto woven cotton . Two workshops were erected next to the River Irwell with a circular building , believed to be a gas plant for providing power to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ garden . It was taken over in 1844 by a London based company , and then again in 1851 by William Chambers , a cotton bleacher living at Barlow Fold , Blackford Bridge , nearby . It was at this time it is thought the business changed to a bleaching works - where the cloth was finished to a bright white . As late as 1957 on an ordnance survey map , the cluster of buildings appears as Springwater Bleach Works . By 1965 they were just described as ' works ' and in the 1970s they were demolished , with the main areas being landscaped to create a park . But ruins remain , engulfed by nature , as do traces of workers ' cottages . Rob Trueblood was born in Benin City , Nigeria , where his mother , Megan ( nee Hughes ) , was working as a midwife and his father , Alf , an agronomist , was carrying out research into palm oil . He won a scholarship to hulme>Cheadle Hulme school , going on to the University of Bristol @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1970s , he settled in Prestwich and from 1974 to 2000 taught geography in Bolton , first at Harper Green school and then at the Deane school . A young deer pictured at Springwater Park in Whitefield , by Caroline Horner ( Image : Caroline Horner ) During this time he became a long-serving secretary of his NUT branch and a member of the Labour party , although at heart he was a Marxist . After a period working as a project manager in Oldham for the Groundwork charity , tackling poverty in the area , he switched to Hopwood Hall Further Education College in Rochdale where he moved out of teaching and into administration , helping with the physical redevelopment of the college 's facilities on campus . He was still there when he retired in 2009 . In a tribute his brother , Chris , said : " Outside working hours , if Rob was not at a meeting he was often on a march -- unless , that is , he was striding across the Lancashire moorland , climbing a Scottish mountain or walking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be outdoors and on the move , allowing his inquiring mind to develop a rich picture of his surroundings and how history had shaped them . " He had a deep knowledge of history , geography and politics -- along with the books to prove it -- and to walk with him was to gain from the benefits of this insight and understanding . Locally he initiated and was involved in many community campaigns and projects , including the Fallowfield Loop off-road cycle path in south Manchester and the Artisan Naturalists , a local history project . " In his retirement he spent much of his time volunteering at Philips Park , a nature reserve in Prestwich , helping with grant applications but also clearing weeds and maintaining fencing and paths . A tireless campaigner , he helped ensure the future of Warwick Street Green for his community . The plot , in Prestwich , was wanted by developers for housing but Rob led a campaign against the plans which were eventually shelved . Chris said : " In 2020 he became ill with pulmonary fibrosis and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ confined to his house in Prestwich , he continued to take an interest in local politics and community activities . Thanks in part to him , the green he could see out of his bedroom window will not be sold off by the council but instead will become a community garden . " Rob is survived by his daughter , Megan , her mother , Jo Smith , and his brother , Chris .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('the children have grown out of using them'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the children are no longer using the items as they have outgrown them. The verb 'grown' can be seen as a means of natural progression or change, fitting into the category of verbs that appear in the V1 slot by other specific means. The NP object 'the children' functions as a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'using them'.

PROPOSALS for a shepherd 's hut holiday home in a Swanage garden have been rejected by council planners . The application , for 19 Redcliffe Road , was described as being ' out of keeping ' with the area . It had been planned to connect the hut to the mains drainage , electric and water , with associated landscaping . Applicant Mr George Manning told Dorset Council that the hut would be positioned adjacent to the existing garage mainly for visits by family and friends , although adding : " We request permission to have a change of use to enable us to provide an accommodation service for a maximum of two adults throughout the year Parking is available on the street where no restrictions apply , and during busy high season can be accommodated on current driveway . The proposed siting of the hut is completely shielded from street view by an existing garage and 3 metre high hedgingThe siting of the hut will be over 2 metres @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no objection to the proposal although several neighbours wrote to Dorset Council to give their opinions . Said one : " I am opposed to this planning application to squeeze a Shepherd 's Hut ( surely more suited to a rural setting ) into a small back garden , adjacent to a house , and encourage infill in a pleasant residential area in North Swanage Due to proximity of the busy road junction and yellow lines to the south , extra vehicles will only inconvenience other residents forcing them to park further up the road and away from their properties . In the holiday season during fine weather , the parking situation becomes acute . This will only add to the problem . " The planning case officer concluded that although the application was in line with some council policies , it was at odds with others , deciding : " The proposed change in use of the land to allow the siting of a shepherd 's hut , by virtue of the siting on a prominent corner plot and forward of the established building line along Ulwell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that would appear overly intrusive within the street scene and thereby would be detrimentally out of keeping with the overall character and appearance of the area .

To say things have n't gone to plan for Manchester United so far this season would be quite an understatement . This was meant to be a year of pushing on . Getting even better . Solid foundations had been laid in Erik ten Hag 's first campaign in charge and with some new and exciting building blocks placed on top during the summer , the extravagant structure should begin to take its final form . Instead , it 's proven as sturdy as a sandcastle facing a tidal wave . While fans had remained excited through the off-season to see their team back in action , the drawn-out takeover process slowly drained optimism away until despair descended as it became clear there was no end in sight . When the season got off to a dire start and even the football could n't offer a glimmer of hope , well , it 's no surprise it feels like United are right back to where they were before Ten Hag took charge . It 's hard to tell that this team is even managed by the same man as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lack of structure and plan . Injuries have not helped , of course . United have been without their entire first-choice back four for much of the season and have repeatedly had at least 12 players unavailable . Further off-field issues have also caused turmoil within the team and United go into the second international break of the campaign down in 10th with the only negative goal difference in the top half of the table . Hardly anyone has come out of the opening stretch of the season with credit but here are the biggest winners and losers so far : Jadon Sancho - Top of the wrong list by some distance is Jadon Sancho . What a downfall he has had . United were desperate to sign the exciting winger for years and only managed to do so on the fourth attempt by spending ? 73m . He has been a profound disappointment . There have been flashes over the years of the quality he displayed at Borrusia Dortmund but never consistently enough and things looked bleak when Ten Hag could n't get a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his stewardship . Yet , a promising pre-season in which he looked good in the new role of centre forward appeared to be a new beginning . It proved to be a false dawn . Sancho hardly featured in the opening games and then he spectacularly fell out with the manager . Ten Hag left him at home for the trip to Arsenal and explained it was because he had n't been training well enough . Sancho disagreed and publically shot down the claim in a statement on social media . Peace talks were unsuccessful and Sancho has now been frozen out of all first-team activity until he apologises . With that seeming unlikely , it does n't look like he will play for the club again . Marcus Rashford - It 's all the more confounding when a player 's form drops off a cliff for no discernable reason . Marcus Rashford is coming off the back of the best season of his career , a record tally of 30 goals , a further 11 assists and a complete turnaround under Ten Hag . He should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Instead , his confidence appears to have evaporated along with his killer instinct in the box . He 's now eliciting more groans and cries of anguish from supporters with nonsensical decision-making in dangerous areas . Rashford remains a threat and has had brief moments of brilliance but they are growing few and far between . Calls for him to be dropped from the starting XI are growing with every match . Casemiro - United 's midfield lynchpin silenced the doubters about his signing a year ago as he helped transform the side 's fortunes but those voices of concern are beginning to prove correct . Many wondered last year if it was wise to spend ? 60m on a player reaching his 30s , especially when Real Madrid are so willing to let him go - something they usually only do when they know a player 's decline is around the corner . It took a year but it appears we are seeing that sudden and steep deterioration now . Casemiro was hooked at half-time in the victory over Brentford in a cumulation of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all-important yard of pace and is being badly shown up as a result . Casemiro is still United 's top goal scorer on a measly four so he clearly still has uses but his performances so far this season make it clear he can no longer be the dedicated defensive midfielder without serious back-up . Andre Onana - It 's usually the rule of three as you could go on for quite a while naming United 's losers this season but Andre Onana has to go on the list . There are always going to be mistakes and misplaced passes when a goalkeeper is being asked to play with the ball at his feet - just look at Ederson and Alisson - especially when his teammates are n't used to their ' keeper doing so . But Onana has been a disappointment so far with his slack distribution , especially as silly , costly mistakes are creeping into his game when it comes to the basics of shot-stopping as well . A big improvement is needed . Rasmus Hojlund - It 's the slimmest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the top of the list has to be Rasmus Hojlund . The young Dane is under more pressure to perform than anyone else given his price tag , being signed over Harry Kane and being the long-awaited striker but he has been delivering . The goals are n't coming as often as required but Hojlund has been hamstrung by a dire supporting cast , often leaving him isolated and feeding off scraps . Yet , he always works hard and when something does drop his way he has shown immense quality , strength and pace to make goals out of nothing . His second strike against Galatasaray was sublime and he has been the one bright spark so far . Scott McTominay - Come on with four minutes to go . Have four touches of the ball . Score two goals to win the game . There ca n't be many more impactful impact subs in the history of football than Scott McTominay 's introduction against Brentford . Not only in the match itself but for his career at the club . McTominay could well have left @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so far . But his match-winning contribution could see his minutes dramatically increase after the break and might finally see him get a more advanced role in the team .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes making goals from nothing, which is unrelated to the transitive out of -ing construction.

To say things have n't gone to plan for Manchester United so far this season would be quite an understatement . This was meant to be a year of pushing on . Getting even better . Solid foundations had been laid in Erik ten Hag 's first campaign in charge and with some new and exciting building blocks placed on top during the summer , the extravagant structure should begin to take its final form . Instead , it 's proven as sturdy as a sandcastle facing a tidal wave . While fans had remained excited through the off-season to see their team back in action , the drawn-out takeover process slowly drained optimism away until despair descended as it became clear there was no end in sight . When the season got off to a dire start and even the football could n't offer a glimmer of hope , well , it 's no surprise it feels like United are right back to where they were before Ten Hag took charge . It 's hard to tell that this team is even managed by the same man as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lack of structure and plan . Injuries have not helped , of course . United have been without their entire first-choice back four for much of the season and have repeatedly had at least 12 players unavailable . Further off-field issues have also caused turmoil within the team and United go into the second international break of the campaign down in 10th with the only negative goal difference in the top half of the table . Hardly anyone has come out of the opening stretch of the season with credit but here are the biggest winners and losers so far : Jadon Sancho - Top of the wrong list by some distance is Jadon Sancho . What a downfall he has had . United were desperate to sign the exciting winger for years and only managed to do so on the fourth attempt by spending ? 73m . He has been a profound disappointment . There have been flashes over the years of the quality he displayed at Borrusia Dortmund but never consistently enough and things looked bleak when Ten Hag could n't get a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his stewardship . Yet , a promising pre-season in which he looked good in the new role of centre forward appeared to be a new beginning . It proved to be a false dawn . Sancho hardly featured in the opening games and then he spectacularly fell out with the manager . Ten Hag left him at home for the trip to Arsenal and explained it was because he had n't been training well enough . Sancho disagreed and publically shot down the claim in a statement on social media . Peace talks were unsuccessful and Sancho has now been frozen out of all first-team activity until he apologises . With that seeming unlikely , it does n't look like he will play for the club again . Marcus Rashford - It 's all the more confounding when a player 's form drops off a cliff for no discernable reason . Marcus Rashford is coming off the back of the best season of his career , a record tally of 30 goals , a further 11 assists and a complete turnaround under Ten Hag . He should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Instead , his confidence appears to have evaporated along with his killer instinct in the box . He 's now eliciting more groans and cries of anguish from supporters with nonsensical decision-making in dangerous areas . Rashford remains a threat and has had brief moments of brilliance but they are growing few and far between . Calls for him to be dropped from the starting XI are growing with every match . Casemiro - United 's midfield lynchpin silenced the doubters about his signing a year ago as he helped transform the side 's fortunes but those voices of concern are beginning to prove correct . Many wondered last year if it was wise to spend ? 60m on a player reaching his 30s , especially when Real Madrid are so willing to let him go - something they usually only do when they know a player 's decline is around the corner . It took a year but it appears we are seeing that sudden and steep deterioration now . Casemiro was hooked at half-time in the victory over Brentford in a cumulation of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all-important yard of pace and is being badly shown up as a result . Casemiro is still United 's top goal scorer on a measly four so he clearly still has uses but his performances so far this season make it clear he can no longer be the dedicated defensive midfielder without serious back-up . Andre Onana - It 's usually the rule of three as you could go on for quite a while naming United 's losers this season but Andre Onana has to go on the list . There are always going to be mistakes and misplaced passes when a goalkeeper is being asked to play with the ball at his feet - just look at Ederson and Alisson - especially when his teammates are n't used to their ' keeper doing so . But Onana has been a disappointment so far with his slack distribution , especially as silly , costly mistakes are creeping into his game when it comes to the basics of shot-stopping as well . A big improvement is needed . Rasmus Hojlund - It 's the slimmest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the top of the list has to be Rasmus Hojlund . The young Dane is under more pressure to perform than anyone else given his price tag , being signed over Harry Kane and being the long-awaited striker but he has been delivering . The goals are n't coming as often as required but Hojlund has been hamstrung by a dire supporting cast , often leaving him isolated and feeding off scraps . Yet , he always works hard and when something does drop his way he has shown immense quality , strength and pace to make goals out of nothing . His second strike against Galatasaray was sublime and he has been the one bright spark so far . Scott McTominay - Come on with four minutes to go . Have four touches of the ball . Score two goals to win the game . There ca n't be many more impactful impact subs in the history of football than Scott McTominay 's introduction against Brentford . Not only in the match itself but for his career at the club . McTominay could well have left @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so far . But his match-winning contribution could see his minutes dramatically increase after the break and might finally see him get a more advanced role in the team . He clearly has a sense for goal after scoring six goals for Scotland this year and it 's something United should utilise . The back-up defenders - Though performances have been up and down , the fact some of United 's second-string defenders are playing as much as they are is a big win for them . It sadly comes from the misfortune of their teammates but they will still be pleased to be seeing more action than they expected . Jonny Evans is the headliner of the group , of course . He returned to United in the summer as a last resort option and never expected to start for the club again . Yet , he has now done so twice and has been an assured presence in both games . Even picking up a great assist for the winner against Burnley .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'locked out of' which is a phrasal verb followed by a gerund phrase 'equipping certain Relics'. There is no NP object between the verb and 'out of', and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Our Honkai Star Rail beginner 's guide is for anybody looking to join the Astral Express crew and start your Trailblazing journey across the stars , but does n't know where to start , or needs explainers on one of the gacha game 's many features . Whether you 're a new or returning player , we 've covered all of the essential Honaki : Star Rail information below , including tips and tricks , and explainers to refer back to if you want more detailed information on gameplay features and systems . Honkai : Star Rail is the newest free-to-play live service game from Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd developer , HoYoverse , that is available on PC , mobile , and PS5 . It has a futuristic setting that sees you travel to different planets and settlements in a very convenient space train , the Astral Express . As for the gameplay , it 's entirely different to anything HoYoverse has done before , as Star Rail has a turn-based combat system - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ability to fast-forward during combat . The rest of the gameplay resembles Genshin Impact more than Honkai Impact 3rd , involving travelling to specific locations to battle enemies for gear and resources . However , this has been streamlined when compared to Genshin Impact , as Star Rail lets you transport right to a fight 's location , queue up multiple resource farming fights at once , and even has a system for creating gear with the main stats you want . If you 're just starting out your journey in Star Rail , we suggest playing through as much of the story as you can first ( this is called the Trailblaze Mission ) , until you complete the ' Long Wait for the Blade 's Edge ' part of the ' In the Withering Wintry Night ' Trailblazer Mission , as this is when Daily Training unlocks . This the second major Trailblaze storyline , set on the snowy planet of Jarilo-VI . You can complete these activities to get 500 Activity Points a day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Activities for the Daily Training system is your daily source of Stellar Jade , the primary currency used to buy Star Rail Passes , which are used for rolling for new characters or Light Cones ( weapons ) through the gacha system . Daily Training is also a source of Trailblaze EXP , which is needed to raise your Trailblaze Level in order to take part in main story missions and limited-time events . Opening any treasure chests and fighting Warp Trotters you find along the way is also recommended , as both of these optional activities give you Stellar Jade . We 've got more information on what these activities mean below , but in general here 's everything you should do daily in Honkai Star Rail : Apart from HoYoLAB rewards and Trailblaze Power ( which replenishes once every six minutes ) , the rest of these daily activities reset at 4am ( server time ) every day . You can send characters on Assignments and still use them in your party . Image credit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of these activities in one day , but if you want to make sure you 're not missing out on any rewards , you should aim to do most of them . If you want to save time , then we recommend you drop spending Trailblaze Power . You wo n't be missing out so much now that Reserved Trailblaze Power has been added , as it stores your unused Trailblaze Power , but at a slower rate than the regular variety . Honkai Star Rail is pretty good for consistently sticking to a regular update schedule . Since its release in April 2023 , there has been a new named update every six weeks . This update comes with a number like 1.3 or 1.4 , resetting the battle pass , adding new quests , and occasionally new features - like Reserved Trailblaze Power and phone wallpapers . Usually , every three weeks there is a Banner change that replaces the featured character and Light Cone Banners . These featured Banners mean you have a higher chance of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them . The 5-Star weapon and character on these revolving Banners can only be obtained by spending your in-game currency on their specific limited-time Banner , as the regular variety has a set pool that only adds new 4-Star characters and weapons . These event Banners will eventually come back around though , so do n't worry too much if you do n't get the 5-Star you wanted . Image credit : Eurogamer/HoYoverse With each update , there are limited-time events . How many , and how long they last for , varies , but all of them end before the new version update . Some events are replayable through the Conventional Memoir tab of the events menu , but they do n't dish out at many important rewards , like Stellar Jade and free characters . So , make sure you complete all that you can before each event 's end date , and spend any event currency in the special shops that pop up during some of the more unique events . You get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Natasha for free by completing main quests and taking part in the Simulated Universe , but the main source of getting characters in Honkai Star Rail is by using Star Passes to Warp on Banners as part of a gacha system . While you can spend real money to get Stellar Jade to buy regular and Special Passes , there are plenty of ways to get free Stellar Jade by just playing the game . This is the menu where you spend your Passes to Warp on Banners . Image credit : Eurogamer/HoYoverse To unlock Banners and the ability to Warp on them in Honkai Star Rail , you need to complete the ' A Moment of Peace ' part of the ' Today Is Yesterday 's Tomorrow ' Trailblaze Mission Prologue on Herta Space Station . You can also occasionally get a 4-Star character for free as part of limited-time events , and you can save up to buy 4-Star characters from the in-game shop by using your Undying Starlight currency - but this currency is only obtainable by Warping on Banners anyway . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if you want to know more , we 've got full explainers on how getting new characters works in our dedicated Banner , and Star Passes , pages . In short though , our three main tips for Banners in Star Rail are : Spend your regular Star Passes on the Beginner 's Banner first . Always convert your Stellar Jade to Special Star Passes in the shop , not the regular Passes . Prepare to lose the dreaded 50/50 and save up enough Stellar Jade for two guaranteed 5-Star pulls to get characters you really want . The 50/50 means you only have a 50% chance to get the featured 5-Star character on a limited-time Banner . As it takes 90 Special Star Passes to guarantee a 5-Star pull on a character Banner , this means you need to save 180 Special Star Passes just in case you lose the 50/50 . Image credit : Eurogamer/HoYoverse The only good news to this needlessly complicated system is that you are 100% guaranteed to get the featured 5-Star the second time you pull a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You 're very unlucky if it takes 180 pulls to get the character you want , but it 's best to be prepared for if your luck does take a turn for the worse if you 're Warping for a character you really want to add to your collection . There are technically two ways to level up your characters in Honkai Star Rail , but you should only really use one of them . While you can raise a character 's EXP by defeating enemies , it 's a ridiculously low amount compared to the best method . The best way to level up characters in Honkai Star Rail is to use Character EXP materials called Travel Encounters , Adventure Log , and Traveler 's Guide . These EXP materials are usually rewarded in limited-time events , but you can also get them from playing the game , most notably by farming the Bud of Memories Golden Calyx . You can also get them by completing activities like quests and opening treasure chests . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as you earn double Golden and Crimson Calyx drops while they 're running . Image credit : Eurogamer/HoYoverse To use character EXP materials , you need to go to the character menu , choose the character you want to improve , then select what materials you want to use , or auto-fill , and hit ' Level Up ' . It costs 1 Credit for every 10 EXP gained . Image credit : Eurogamer/HoYoverse Every 10 levels after Level 20 , however , you need to Ascend a character before you can level them up any further . Every character needs different types of Ascension materials , which range from items dropped from defeating regular enemies in the wild , obtained from Assignments , and special materials found in Stagnant Shadows . Level 80 is the maximum for every character in Star Rail , but not everyone needs to be maxed out to be effective in your team . Save those resources unless you really need them ! Finally , to make your characters the best they can be , you need to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Ultimate abilities , as well as unlock special bonus abilities and stat upgrades . They take materials dropped by enemies , bosses , Tracks of Destiny , and Credits to upgrade . However , you do n't need to upgrade every Trace to its maximum , especially Basic Attacks . If that character rarely uses a certain attack or attribute , there 's really no point in wasting valuable resources on it . Image credit : Eurogamer/HoYoverse Relics are equipable items you give characters to raise their stats , but they also have bonus effects if you equip them as 2-piece and 4-piece sets . You 're not locked out of equipping certain Relics if they are n't meant for a certain type of character , which can make the system a little overwhelming for beginners . Pay attention to a Relic set bonus ' effects the most at the beginning of the game . Image credit : Eurogamer/HoYoverse At the beginning , you should focus on trying to equip 2-piece or 4-piece Relic sets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ main and sub stats . You 'll only have lower rarity sets near the start , but that 's perfectly fine for the level of enemies you 'll be up against at this point . If you do have a lot of repeats , that 's the point where you should pay attention to the main and sub stat numbers . These stats raise your raw attack , health , critical hit , healing , Energy Recharge , speed , Effect Hit Rate , and Break Effect capabilities . Each character should ideally prioritise stats that are relevant to the build you 're running on them . The top stat is your main one , and the rest are substats . Image credit : Eurogamer/HoYoverse For example , getting the Outgoing Healing Boost main stat on a piece of the Passerby of Wandering Cloud Relic set would be ideal if you 're looking to boost the healing stats for an Abundance character in your party . Planar Ornaments are exactly the same as Relics , except they are farmed in the Simulated Universe , and they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two on a character . With all that said , you can almost ignore Relics and Planar Ornaments at the beginning of the game . When you play more , and the enemy encounters become tougher , that 's when you should aim to get better equipment by farming the Cavern of Corrosion and the Simulated Universe for your characters . Image credit : Eurogamer/HoYoverse You can also get more Relics by searching chests , buying them from each area 's main shop , completing quests , raising Trailblaze Level , and completing tasks from the Operations Briefing menu . The best way to get good Relics in Honkai Star Rail , however , is to farm the Cavern of Corrosions . During Realm of the Strange event periods , you get double drops for farming Relics at Cavern of Corrosions , and during Planar Fissure event event periods , you get double drops for farming Planar Ornaments . So make sure to take advantage of these special periods when you can ! Lastly , if you want to make a custom Relic , you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so do n't use them all the time , but if you 're sick of farming , they are incredibly useful . The only downside is that you can only choose your main stat , not the substats . Stellar Jade is the rarest and most sought after currency in Honkai Star Rail , as it 's what you need to exchange for Warps ( Star Rail Passes ) to get characters as part of the gacha Banner system . You can also use them to buy Fuel , but we recommend only using Stellar Jade for buying Star Passes if you want a mostly free-to-play experience . The good news is that almost every activity in Honkai Star Rail rewards Stellar Jade , and there are login events that reward Stellar Jade or Passes every patch . However , it does take a while to save up enough Stellar Jade to guarantee a character . Limited-time events , Conventional Memoir Events , Daily Training , and redeeming codes are some of the best ways to consistently get Stellar Jade @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ways to get Stellar Jade include defeating Warp Trotters , texting back characters , talking to characters on the Astral Express , and purchasing items from World Shops with its special currency . Check out our dedicated Stellar Jade page for a more detailed explanation on how to get Stellar Jade in Honkai Star Rail . The Battle Pass ( Nameless Honor ) is an entirely optional feature that rewards you for completing daily , weekly , and event tasks . It 's unlocked after completing ' Long Wait for the Blade 's Edge ' , the seventh part of the Chapter 1 Trailblaze Mission ' In the Withering Wintry Night ' . There is a free track ( Nameless Gift ) , a premium track ( Nameless Glory ) , and a premium boost package ( Nameless Medal ) . The Nameless Medal upgrade is just like the Nameless Glory premium track unlock , but you also get an instant boost of 10 Battle Pass levels , exclusive profile pictures , and slightly more Stellar Jade and Fuel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a wide range of items and materials from the each level of the free and premium Battle Passes , including Star Rail Passes , Character and Light Cone EXP materials , Credits , Stellar Jade , Self-Modeling Resin , character and Light Cone Ascension materials , and a choice between five 4-Star Light Cones on the premium tier . There are 50 levels on both the free and premium tracks , but you only need to reach Level 30 on the premium track to pick your Light Cone . With all that said , the Battle Pass in Honkai : Star Rail is not an essential part of the game . It 's basically just a nice optional bonus to anybody who plays regularly , and every reward ( except the premium Light Cones and profile pictures ) can also be earned by playing the game . Just make sure to claim all your free rewards before each Battle Pass period ends ! This usually happens a couple of days before the next patch . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Level page , but in summary , Trailblaze Rank is your entry level to start missions and events , and Equilibrium Level determines how difficult the enemies are . A higher Equilibrium Level also unlocks higher levels of Calyxes , Stagnant Shadows , and Echoes of War , and winning these battles at higher levels gives you better rewards . Trailblaze Level currently stops at Level 70 , but most events only need you to be between Level 20 and 30 for higher-level content , if indeed they have a Trailblaze Level requirement at all . You will , however , often be locked out of Trailblaze Missions until you reach the required Trailblaze Level . You can visit Pom Pom for rewards on the Astral Express every time you gain a Trailblaze Level , but you ca n't claim Trailblaze rewards after levelling up unless you 're at the right Equilibrium Level . Image credit : Eurogamer/HoYoverse When you get to a high enough Trailblaze Rank , you have to complete an Equilibrium Trial to test and see if you 're ready to increase your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ until you 're sure you want to take on higher-level enemies . It will eventually become unavoidable , though , as you ca n't climb Trailblaze Levels until you complete the next Equilibrium Trial . As long as you bring along a half decent team who are built correctly , Equilibrium Trials wo n't be too much of a challenge for you . They even get easier at later levels , as you have had more time to build your teams properly . Image credit : Eurogamer/HoYoverse Trailblaze Missions are your main storyline quests , and Companion Missions are character-specific quests . Trailblaze Missions progress the Astral Express crew 's starward journey to find and contain Stellarons . They 're broken down into Chapters , with the Prologue taking place on Herta Space Station , and Continuance Missions taking place in between main Chapters , returning you to past locations . The Astral Express crew 's March 7th and Dan Heng feature heavily in the Trailblaze Missions . Companion Missions let you dive deeper @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , giving you a deeper understanding of their backstory and character . Unlocking Companion Missions requires a mix of progressing with the Trailblaze Mission story and reaching the right Trailblaze Level . Some characters only have one Companion Mission , while others have two or more . Once you complete the required part of a Companion 's Mission chain , they occasionally show up on the Astral Express , and you can talk to them for some bonus Stellar Jade . Companion Missions also contain story choices occasionally , and it 's important to note that once you 've made a decision , it 's permanent . You ca n't go back and make different choices once the game has saved your decision . This has n't changed anything drastic for us yet , but it very well might in the future , so choose wisely ! Image credit : Eurogamer/HoYoverse Events refer to either time-limited quests regularly added to Honkai Star Rail , or permanent reruns of old time-limited quests that have reduced rewards . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the main events menu . Events always have Trailblaze Mission completion requirements , and some also have Trailblaze Level requirements . For example , if an event takes place on the Xianzhou Luofu , you are required to have at least reached this area as part of the story . However , with Conventional Memoir , you wo n't miss out on any key story or character moments if they occur during an event , as you can just play through it later . Image credit : Eurogamer/HoYoverse However , if you meet the requirements , we recommend participating in every event that you can when they initially run . Events are a great source of Stellar Jade , character materials , Credits , and sometimes even offer free 4-Star characters and Light Cones . Wondering what those two orb currencies above your map are ? These pinkish and greenish orbs are Trailblaze Power and Reserved Trailblaze Power , respectively , and they are the currency you use in exchange for claiming rewards from Calyxes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of War . These challenges are where you get Light Cone and character materials , Relics , and Credits . You also have the option of using Trailblaze Power in the Simulated Universe to get reward that include Planar Ornaments . Regular Trailblaze Power replenishes every day at a rate of one every six minutes , capping out at 240 . Fuel is a consumable item that can be used to instantly replenish 60 Trailblaze Power , which can go past the 240 cap . We recommend saving Fuel for when you really need to quickly level up characters , but it 's up to you ! Image credit : Eurogamer/HoYoverse Reserved Trailblazer Power lets you store unused Trailblaze Power up to the maximum of 2,400 . When you reach the cap of 240 regular pinkish Trailblaze Power , it then spills over into these greenish orbs of Reserved Trailblaze Power at a reduced rate of one Reserved Trailblazer Power every 18 minutes . So , it 's worth spending your ordinary Trailblaze Power as often as you can if you regularly play Star Rail , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ farming time if you decide to take a break , as it takes a whole month for your Reserved Trailblaze Power to reach its max cap ! Image credit : Eurogamer/HoYoverse If you do n't care about optional combat challenges , then you can completely ignore the Forgotten Hall and Memory of Chaos , unless you want some extra Stellar Jade , unique Light Cones , an interesting combat challenge , or the occasional free 4-Star character . None of these rewards are essential , however , so if you do n't like Star Rail 's combat , it 's more than okay to ignore the Forgotten Hall . The Forgotten Hall is unlocked after completing the Adventure Mission side quest ' Fleeting Lights ' , which is obtained by reaching Trailblaze Level 21 . Once you complete this mission , the Forgotten Hall is accessed from the cracked standing mirror in the main car of the Astral Express . Image credit : Eurogamer/HoYoverse Every Forgotten Hall challenge is the same : defeat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a set number of turns . You get zero , one , two , or three stars , depending on how well you do in each stage . Zero stars are earned by completing the battle before the maximum number of turns with at least one downed party member . This means you do n't need any stars to progress to the next stage ! Simply surviving will do . However , the more stars you have , the more rewards you get . There are two types of Forgotten Hall paths : Memory and Memory of Chaos . Memories are the blue coloured paths , and are permanent , fixed combat challenges that you can only earn rewards from once . Additional Memories have been added as part of new patches , so there should be more to come . Image credit : Eurogamer/HoYoverse Memory of Chaos is the pink coloured path , and its challenges are refreshed every few weeks with new enemies and combat modifiers . These modifiers usually benefit the featured Banner character currently in rotation the most , but you do n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Image credit : Eurogamer/HoYoverse Lastly , you can speak with the Messenger beside the Forgotten Hall mirror to spend Lucent Afterglow currency in exchange for unique 4-Star weapons . Lucent Afterglow is one of the rewards you get for completing stages in the Forgotten Hall . The Simulated Universe is another optional activity that you can consider occasionally ignoring , but it is the only way to get Planar Ornaments , has its own story to experience , and tends to feature in events a lot . The good news is that it 's not as hard as the Forgotten Hall , as you can clear its ' Worlds ' on lower difficulties to get Planar Ornaments , and obtain buffs during the gameplay that greatly increase your combat capabilities . Image credit : Eurogamer/HoYoverse These buffs come in two forms : Blessings and Curios . Blessings are obtained by killing enemies or taking part in ' Events ' in the Simulated Universe , and you get Curios by defeating Elite enemies , and taking part in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you the option of picking between Curios , Blessings , and Cosmic Fragments , with Cosmic Fragments being the currency you use to upgrade your Blessings . Image credit : Eurogamer/HoYoverse In short , the Simulated Universe is a roguelike combat mode , as your Blessings , Curios , and Cosmic Fragments do n't carry over to each new run . You do have a permanent Ability Tree , however , that you can invest points into to improve your combat prowess . The main appeal of the Simulated Universe is to farm Planar Ornaments , but there are also weekly rewards you get for playing through enough Worlds and earning points . The higher your Equilibrium Level , the better your rewards . These weekly Simulated Universe rewards can include : Regular Star Rail Passes Stellar Jade Credits Lost Gold Fragments Tracks of Destiny Immersifiers Herta Bonds Immersifiers can be exchanged for Planar Ornaments while playing the Simulated Universe , and Herta Bonds can be spent in the Simulated Universe 's shop , called Herta 's Store , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Light Cones and their Superimpossions . Image credit : Eurogamer/HoYoverse There are some things good to know that are n't as essential as the explainers we have above , but will make your time aboard the Astral Express a lot easier , especially at the beginning of the game . Here 's some tips and tricks for Honkai Star Rail that we wish we knew before starting : Use HoYoLab site or app - You can log in daily or complete special online activities for free rewards like Stellar Jade , Credits , and character and Light Cone materials . Check an item in your Inventory to see how to get it - Most items have little rectangular text boxes below them that explain how to get it , and clicking this text box can instantly take you to the map location you need to go , or the conversion menu used for exchanging materials . You can also track and teleport to overworld enemies using this system . Image credit : Eurogamer/HoYoverse Do n't spend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Special Star Passes you need to Warp for the event characters , and the regular variety for permanent Banners . While the permanent character and Light Cone Banner does have good characters on it , they 're also included on event Banners , meaning you will get them eventually just by Warping on the event character Banners with Special Star Passes . 5-Star characters are n't automatically better than 4-Stars - A 5-Star Harmony character like Bronya is indeed an amazing team member to buff your team , but Tingyun is arguably just as good , and she 's a 4-Star . It 's all about picking the right team for each individual situation , so if Bronya is hogging Skill Points required for your DPS , you might want to switch over to Tingyun so can also boost your team 's DPS , while saving some Skill Points in your rotation . Do n't ignore events - Events regularly dish out great rewards for little work , and you can even get 4-Star characters , Light Cones , and Self-Modeling Resin from Events . The best event @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but you can still earn some rewards from the Conventional Memoir . Spend your currencies at World Shops regularly - You might not need those Credits right now , but you actually get rewarded for spending an area 's unique currency at World Shops ! The currency you use for these shops ( like Hertareum , Shields , and , Strales ) are n't used for anything else , so there 's no reason not to spend them all . When you ca n't buy anything else , you 'll get the option to just buy Credits instead . Image credit : Eurogamer/HoYoverse Attack Warp Trotters first - These cosmic pig-like creatures reward Stellar Jade when killed for the first time , but they escape after a certain number of turns , so target them first during battles . Warp Trotters are usually weak to Quantum , Imaginary , and Physical Damage . Do n't put party members with high Taunt beside weak allies - A lot of enemies actually have AOE attacks , and characters with high Taunt ( like Gepard ) draw these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ slot them first or last in your party lineups beside a character who can take a hit , or who benefits from taking damage , like Blade . Interact with everything - That sparkling plant you see in the distance ? It can talk . That trash can ? Leads to a secret quest . One time we even smashed a normal looking pot and were rewarded with a conversation that ended in feeding the pot trash bags . Star Rail 's a strange game , and you can unearth random rewards and uniquely weird scenarios simply by exploring , so go and rummage through those trash cans ! Do n't use your Ultimate right away - Fire away during the regular battles , but during Elite and Boss fights , you 'll want to carefully consider when to use your Ultimate . Yes , you 'll be losing out on gaining Energy for another Ultimate in the meantime , but it 's better to hold off on Natasha 's Ultimate healing effects until after the boss does their big attack , unless your characters really need the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also no point in unleashing Seele 's Ultimate on a boss with 1% health left - save that for the next boss phase ! You do n't need to unlock all of a character 's Traces - If you 're not using a character 's normal attack , there 's no point in wasting resources to level its Trace up fully . The same applies to Skill and Ultimate Traces , and even the bonus nodes . If your character 's a healer who does n't scale off Crit , then there 's no need to unlock that Crit Rate Trace unless it 's before a Trace you do need to unlock . If you do n't know what to do next , check your Operation Briefing - This is a great set of challenges you can check to see what your current goal ( besides completing quests ) should be . If it 's suggesting you should level up a Light Cone to Level 80 , perhaps it 's time for you to seriously consider what the best Light Cone for your main characters are , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rewards for completing each challenge and page of challenges . Image credit : Eurogamer/HoYoverse Do n't farm Relics too early - 5-Star Relics with perfect stats and substats for each character is the goal in Honkai : Star Rail , albeit a mostly unachievable one . You 'll probably never get a perfect 5-Star Relic , but you should at least try to get a good main stat and two good substats . So , using that Trailblaze Power to farm 4-Star Relics will be a waste of time in the future when you unlock 5-Star Relic farming . Do n't completely abstain from getting better Relics before you can farm 5-Stars , but do n't go all in on it either . Nihility characters do n't benefit from increased Crit Rate and Crit Damage - These stats are wasted on characters like Kafka and Sampo who do most of their damage over time . Boosting their raw attack stat , specific damage type , and sometimes Effect Hit Rate , will benefit your DPS a lot more . Natasha is your best friend - Until @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ member for any team in Star Rail , as she 's the only free Abundance character you get by playing through the story . As you ca n't heal with items , Abundance characters are essential to surviving in Star Rail . Preservation characters like March 7th can also help keep your team alive , but for longer battles , you need a healer . When you 're ready to tackle other features and systems in Honkai Star Rail , you can refer back to this list for detailed information on many different aspects of the game : Jessica is a guides writer from Northern Ireland who likes screaming at her TV . Often at horror movies , occasionally at a Fortnite win . When not damaging her vocal cords , Jessica likes stressing over her inventory in RPGs , and getting lost in open worlds . |

We 're now past the midway point of the first day of Amazon Prime Big Deal Days -- which means Prime members still have plenty of time left to shop until it all ends at 11.59pm tomorrow ( Wednesday , October 11 ) . As you might expect from a sales event that some are calling Prime Day 2 ( Amazon 's first Prime Day was earlier this year ) , there are thousands of price cuts on a huge range of products , from TVs , tablets , laptops and Amazon 's own devices . This can be a bit overwhelming , but do n't worry - I 've picked out some top recommendations worth buying . You can also view the full sale for yourself below . Standout deals so far include Amazon devices , such as the Fire TV Stick , Echo Pop , and Fire TVs , which are all available for record-low prices . Most of the Prime Big Deal Days offers are exclusive to people who are signed up to Amazon Prime - and if you 're not , you can sign up for a 30-day trial to get access to the discounts . However , not every deal is exclusive to Prime members , and rival retailers will also be cutting prices as well over the next couple of days . That means now is an excellent time to shop ! Fire TV Stick 4K : was $49.99now $22.99 at AmazonStream your content in 4K resolution with the Fire TV Stick 4K , which is marked down to $22.99 - the lowest price we 've ever seen . The best-selling Fire Stick allows you to stream your favorite content in 4K Ultra HD resolution with support for Dolby Vision , HDR , HDR10+ , and Amazon Alexa for hands-free control . There is a slightly upgraded newer version available but it costs twice as much and effectively does exactly the same job so we suggest snagging this for all your streaming needs . Apple AirPods Pro 2 : was $249 now $189 at AmazonAfter sitting at $219 for the last month , Amazon now has the best-selling AirPods Pro 2 down to a record-low price of $189 . Their previous lowest price was $199 . Rated as one of the best earbuds you can buy , the AirPods Pro 2 feature active noise cancellation to block out unwanted noise , improved audio quality , and a wireless charging case that provides more than 24 hours of battery life . Hisense U6 50-inch QLED 4K Smart TV : was $499.99 now $199.99 at Amazon Invite-only : Definitely register your interest in this unbelievably low price for a reasonably-sized 4K QLED TV from Hisense . TVs with these capabilities usually cost at least double this deal price . The Quantum Dot technology inside means the display can deliver a brighter image with better lighting and more accurate contrast so pictures really pop . And , with the Fire TV interface , you get easy access to all the top streaming apps just a button press or voice command away . Sony WH-1000MX4 : was $348 now $248 at AmazonThe best over-ear headphones ever ? These wireless Sony cans package together top-notch audio , excellent comfort , and effective noise cancellation all at a reasonable price point -- and they are now $100 off at Amazon . We still rate these as the best headphones for most people , exactly because you can often find them at a price like this . Asus Vivobook 15 : was $269.99 now $269.99 at Amazon You do n't always see a laptop for less than $300 with 8GB of RAM included . That 's why I 'd be tempted to snap up this Asus Vivobook 15 if you 're looking to eke as much performance as possible out of a cheap laptop . The processor takes a hit , battery life is only six hours and there 's just 128GB of speedy SSD storage so it 's clear compromises have been made elsewhere . However , if you really want a Windows machine then this is your best cheap option for now . Echo Show 5 ( 2023 ) : was $89.99 now $39.99 at AmazonYou can get the all-new Echo Show 5 on sale for $39.99 - that 's a massive 56% discount and a new record-low price .

The Echo Show 5 is rarely discounted , and we predict you wo n't see a better deal at the official Amazon Prime Day sale . Blink Mini security camera : was $34.99 now $19.99 at AmazonThe Blink Mini is always a best-seller at holiday sales like Prime Day , and Amazon has the compact smart security camera for just $19.99 - only $2 more than the record low . The indoor HD camera works with Amazon Alexa and alerts your smartphone whenever motion is detected . Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3:was $899.99now $599.99 at AmazonThis just might be the best gaming laptop deal on Amazon right now . Powered by the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H processor , Nvidia RTX 3050 GPU , 8GB DDR5 RAM , and a 256GB SSD , the specs are fantastic for this price , and the RAM and SSD are an easy enough upgrade that you have some room to expand in the years ahead -- all for 33% off right now . Apple Watch SE , 2022 ( GPS , 40mm ) : was$249 now $199 at AmazonOur favorite Apple deal might be the 2022 Apple Watch SE , which is on sale for just $219 at Amazon right now . That 's the lowest price we 've ever seen and the best-value Apple Watch you can buy currently . While the Apple Watch SE lacks all the bells and whistles found on the Apple Watch 8 , it still packs a fast processor , great battery life , and new health and fitness features . Ninja DZ201 Foodi 8-qt 6-in-1 air fryer : was $199.99now $179.95 at AmazonThough we have n't technically tested this version of Ninja 's two-basket air fryer , we have given the older Ninja Foodi Max a lofty 4-star review for its versatility and ability to multitask . The Ninja DZ201 boasts the same capabilities and enjoys a top 5 out of 5 rating on Amazon , and its 8-quart model is discounted right now during the Prime Big Deal Days sale . It has been $30 cheaper in the past , but this is still a solid price for the popular air fryer brand .

You simply ca n't get any other TV with such great features or picture quality for this price right now . Apple iPad 10.2 ( 2021 ) : was $329.99 now $249 at AmazonThe 2021 iPad may be slightly older tech , but the 10.2-inch Retina display and A13 Bionic chip ensure excellent picture quality and superior performance to this day . The entry-level tablet can do it all without issue , according to our Apple iPad 10.2 review , whether that 's browsing the net , streaming media , light work , or playing games . Today 's deal from Amazon brings the tablet down to $249 , which is the best price ever .

This is a big upgrade from the previous generation model to make it a more capable , flexible and convenient workstation . Just remember the keyboard cover is not included and must be bought separately , so factor another $130 into the total cost if you want that key accessory too .

You wo n't find better quality under $100 , in our experience .

The camera is super easy to set up , has a slick UI and logical file storage that makes locating those all-important moments a breeze . You 'll struggle to find a better dash cam system for less than $200 . Nextbase 422GW was $249.99now $149.99 at Amazon This mid-range model from one of the leading names in dash cams is equipped with a 1440p main camera boasting ' Pro ' night vision mode , a 1080p rear camera , intelligent parking mode and built-in Alexa voice commands . And with $100 off the list price , the 422GW is now excellent value . Vantrue N2 Pro : was $199.99now $118.97 at AmazonThe Vantrue N2 Pro is a refreshingly simple dual-view dash cam designed for taxi and rideshare drivers . It records the road ahead and the interior of your car in 1080p Full HD . There 's no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth , but we would argue that these , and the smartphone app they usually connect to , are often unnecessary additions to dashboard cameras . The N2 Pro is n't the best-looking dash cam around , but it records clear , sharp video and is very easy to use . It lacks GPS , but that can be added with Vantrue 's optional windscreen mount . Vantrue E3 : was $359.99 now $229.99 at AmazonBuilt to the same look and design as the highly-rated single-camera Vantrue E1 , this three-camera dash cam can simultaneously record the front ( 2K ) at a wider-than normal 160-degrees , rear ( 1080p ) and interior cabin ( 1080p ) , plus it features GPS , 5GHz Wi-Fi , voice control and a parking monitor . Top stuff .

While the Hero10 Black lacks the 8:7 sensor of its successor , its GP2 processor is much snappier than the Hero 9 Black 's and you do n't have to fork out much more for this later model . Sony a7 II with 28-70mm lens : was $1,682.09now $998 at Amazon A full-frame Sony mirrorless camera with kit lens new for less than $1,000 ( or for $845 body only ) ? That 's an absolute steal for what is still an excellent 24MP stills shooter , which introduced the world 's first 5-axis in-body stablization in a full-frame camera , even if its video spec is looking a little dated now . Fujifilm Instax Square SQ6 : was $129.95now $89.99 at AmazonOne model in a line of Fujifilm Instax Square instant cameras that print onto the perfect size Instax Square film , the well-built and easy-to-use SQ6 is available for the same cut price of $89.99 as in the previous Prime Day sale , and can choose your color from Graphite Grey , Blush Gold , Aqua Blue and Pearl White varieties . Nikon Z7 II : was $2,996.95now $2,496.95 at AmazonA dream for landscape and portrait photographers , the Z7 II boasts a 45.7MP sensor and dual card slots , and costs less than the Z8 and Z9 that have a stacked sensor version of the full-frame sensor for a speedier performance . If you do n't shoot a lot of action , you could save a lot by opting for the smaller and lighter Z7 II instead . Canon EOS R5 ( body only ) : was $3,899 now $3,399 at AmazonCanon 's best-ever camera for photography has received a decent price slash . The full-frame EOS R5 boasts 45MP still pictures , superb autofocus , one of the best in-body image stabilization performances and it 's an all-round pleasure to shoot with . It 's also apt for video , being one of the first hybrid cameras to unleash 8K video , while its 4K video which has frame rates up 120p , is excellent , too . Sony ZV-1 : was $748 now $648 at AmazonSony 's original vlogging camera is now at its lowest price with a $100 price cut and ranks as one of the best vlogging cameras for most people . The ZV-1 might have been updated by the ZV-1 II , but we feel the original model with 24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 lens and class-leading autofocus holds its own and in many respects is a better option that its successor and its now even cheaper . Sony a6600 ( body only ) : was $1,398 now $998 at AmazonSony 's flagship APS-C camera is a tiny , featured packed camera with an excellent choice of lenses . The Sony a6600 is one of the best crop-sensor hybrid cameras out there , benefitting from the same processor as the pro A9 II which unleashes excellent high-speed 24MP stills and autofocus performance . The a6600 also offers class-leading battery life , and is under $1,000 for the first time . Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III ( body only ) : was $1,199 now $999 at AmazonSitting below the E-M1 , the E-M5 is a feature-packed micro-four-thirds cameras from Olympus ( now OM System ) , with incredible image stabilization and compact form factor and excellent handling . It 's almost four years old now and due an upgrade , but still fares well today . It 's also available as a kit ; the E-M5 with the 12-45mm f/4.0 PRO lens for $1,399 , which is an excellent and compact all-purpose lens perfectly suited to the E-M5 and a must for your kit bag if you 're starting out with this system . Canon EOS R6:was $2,899now $2,299 at Amazon Our Canon EOS R6 review hailed its class-leading image stabilization and autofocus , and the popular mirrorless model for photography enthusiasts is as capable as it was back then . It has since been superseded by the Canon EOS R6 II , hence the better deals to be had , and this price with the 24-105mm kit lens is the lowest we 've seen in 2023 . GoPro Hero 9 Black : was $349.99now $228 at AmazonThe GoPro Hero 9 Black is now three generations old but it still stands up to today 's action cameras , with 5K video , 1080p streaming capabilities and 20MP photos . Now with a 30% discount it is now the real deal for adrenaline junkies that want to spend cash on their adventures rather than a camera .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'forced him to pull out of filming' involves a different construction where 'pull out of' is followed by a gerund, but it does not involve a causer causing a causee to move or preventing them from doing something as defined by the transitive out of -ing construction. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the construction.

The Thames Water Long Reach sewage treatment works on the banks of the Thames estuary in Dartford , Kent . Millions of litres of raw sewage were dumped into the London river in just two days in 2021 BEN STANSALL/AFP via Getty Images The UK 's capital is number nine in the list of global cities most likely to run out of drinking water , rivers campaigner Feargal Sharkey said at New Scientist Live on 8 October . " London is now on a list with the likes of Cape Town , S ? o Paulo , Jakarta and Mexico City because of the same lack of investment and the same lack of strategic thinking , " he said . The other cities near the top of the list are Bangalore , Beijing , Cairo , Moscow , Istanbul and Tokyo , the BBC reported in 2018 . Sorting the problem requires a lot of money , but consumers , not the privatised water companies , may be asked to foot the bill . " The UK National Infrastructure Commission are estimating simply to keep London and England 's taps running over the next @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ... of your money , " said Sharkey . Advertisement As well as running dry , the UK 's waterways are in poor shape . Only 14 per cent of England 's rivers are in good ecological health . The rest have been ravaged by sewage , agricultural run-off , over-extraction , modified banks and barriers such as dams . Good ecological health means " a good , healthy ecosystem with a wide , diverse range of plants , insects , bugs , fish , wildlife , birds , beavers , otters and everything else that 's utterly dependent upon the health of those rivers " , said Sharkey . No English rivers are in good chemical health . Spills of human sewage are a major issue , but hard to keep track of . Monitoring systems record how often sewage overflow pipes are opened and for how long , but not how much actual raw sewage ends up in rivers . Sharkey told the audience that one of only two monitoring stations to record that figure -- in Twickenham , London -- found that in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ litres of raw sewage were dumped into the Thames . The poor state of UK rivers is also a legal issue . In 2002 , the European Water Framework Directive came into force , compelling member states ( including the UK at the time ) to make sure that all freshwater bodies were in good ecological health by 2027 . Some reports claim current estimates mean that only 6 per cent of England 's rivers will meet the requirement by that deadline . " We 've basically flushed them down the loo , physically and metaphorically , " said Sharkey . Sign up to our Fix the Planet newsletter Get a dose of climate optimism delivered straight to your inbox every month . Sharkey is especially concerned about chalk streams , which arise from aquifers in chalky rocks . Southern England has 85 per cent of the world 's chalk streams , a unique habitat that is dying , he said . Water companies like to extract water from them because they are very clean . " This is the UK 's Amazonian rainforest , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anywhere else in the world , and we 're utterly destroying every single one , " said Sharkey . What can be done ? " I would encourage you now to get in touch with your local MP , " he said . " Just send them an email . It takes no more than a single sentence simply to say , ' I am utterly shocked , furious , appalled . I think I have been scammed out of my money .

Residents have complained that plans by Tiger Woods and Justin Timberlake to convert a 1930s cinema in St Andrews into a sports bar are " disrespectful " and " out of keeping " . The golf and music superstars are partners in the gastropub business T-Squared Social , which opened its first bar in New York this month . Their next pub location will be housed in the New Picture House cinema on North Street , close to the Old Course . If the plans are approved by Fife council , the 90-year-old cinema will retain one screen for theatrical releases . Some residents have reacted with anger . Neil Dobson , a member of St Andrews community council , told The Courier that the plans to transform the cinema into a bar were " disrespectful " and " a bit cheeky " . |

LUCKNOW , India - Australia all-rounder Marcus Stoinis has shaken off a hamstring problem and is available for their World Cup meeting with South Africa on his familiar hunting ground of Lucknow , captain Pat Cummins said on Wednesday . Stoinis was sore after Australia 's first match of their 2-1 series defeat by India last month and skipped two warm-up games and the loss to the hosts in the World Cup , but Cummins said he will be looked at closely for Thursday 's clash . The 34-year-old plays for the Lucknow-based Super Giants in the Indian Premier League ( IPL ) and knows the conditions well . " He 's fit so yeah , we 'll announce a team tomorrow but it 's a ground he knows pretty well , " Cummins told reporters . " I think chatting to him and a couple of other guys , it 's probably in a bit of a different condition to what it is for the IPL . The wicket looks really good so yeah , he 's someone we 'll look at pretty closely . " Australia were dismissed for a below-par @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ defeat by India in Chennai , but Cummins said he expects a high-scoring game in Lucknow . " When it 's a good wicket - which that looks like - most of the games have been 300 plus , " Cummins said . " I have n't had a look at it today , but last night it looked really good , really even . Maybe a bit of pace and bounce . We 'll see how it is tomorrow . " Australia 's specialist spinner Adam Zampa went wicketless in the last game and gave away 53 runs from eight overs but Cummins said critics should not look too deeply into his form . " I thought he bowled okay but it 's pretty hard defending 200 and trying to create something out of nothing . I 'm sure he would be great out there , " Cummins said . " Again , if you have a bit more of a total to bowl to , he 's one of our key guys . " Five-times champions Australia will be wary of South @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sri Lanka with three of their batsmen - Quinton de Kock , Rassie van der Dussen and Aiden Markram - smashing centuries . The Proteas boast an enviable top-order but De Kock called for more consistency in World Cup matches . " We 're doing really well as a batting unit ; we 've worked really hard on our game the last couple of years . It 's only one game into the World Cup , so it 's hard to say how we 're really going , " De Kock said . " Even though we 've had it really well our last couple of games , it has n't been over a course of years . It 's only been a course over a month or a couple of months . " So in order for us to be one of the best we need to be , we still need to be a bit more consistent especially in tight games like World Cups . That will determine actually how good we are .

Maybe a bit of pace and bounce . We 'll see how it is tomorrow . " Australia 's specialist spinner Adam Zampa went wicketless in the last game and gave away 53 runs from eight overs but Cummins said critics should not look too deeply into his form . " I thought he bowled okay but it 's pretty hard defending 200 and trying to create something out of nothing . I 'm sure he would be great out there , " Cummins said .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It lacks an NP object and the VP2[-ing] predicate is not present in a way that would allow for a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'pulled out of presenting duties' does not involve a causee or the specific interpretations required by the construction.

The TV star shared her decision in a statement on her Instagram page , just days after an alleged plot to kidnap and murder the star was foiled by police . Holly , 42 , was pulled from filming on Thursday after cops alerted the ITV daytime show bosses to an alleged plot to kidnap the star . She was quickly replaced by Alison Hammond , who fronted the show alongside Josie Gibson . No explanation for her absence was given at the time . Superintendent Tim Tubbs of Essex Police said : " This was an extremely fast-paced investigation , with many of our officers and national partners working overnight to secure these charges . The safeguarding of any victim is paramount and we will continue to prioritise this as the investigation proceeds . " Following her bombshell news , celebrity friends including Emma Bunton and Carol Vorderman have offered messages of support to the mum-of-three . The TV host said it was " a shame " her colleague had made the " difficult decision " to leave the show after 14 years , but that she understood her choice . On Wednesday @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ adding she " loved " the show she was leaving behind . " Holly has quit This Morning after 14 years . I did n't realise it was as long as that . Very sad , understandable in the circumstances but it 's just a shame . We obviously wish you all the very best to you and your family . A terribly difficult decision because she loves the show . " 12:03Susan Knox Holly Willoughby was handed a new contract with a big pay rise as she vowed to keep the ITV production going following a tumultuous past few months amid the fallout with ex-host Phillip Schofield . The affair saw Holly and Phil 's close relationship break down , with Holly publicly revealing that she had previously asked Phil about the allegations , which he had denied . Close allies have said Holly was forced to quit over fears for her family 's safety . Last Thursday , Holly pulled out of presenting duties and remained at her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ man was arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of conspiracy to kidnap . Meanwhile , some friends also say she felt ' terrible ' about fallout around Phil 's departure . According to MailOnline , sources say the star ' has n't been the same ' since the events that unfolded earlier this year and has ' never got over it . ' She reportedly ' misses ' her former co-star , who she presented This Morning with for 14 years , with the source adding : " You wonder if she regrets the fallout -- look at everything that has happened as a result . It 's really sad . " Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby 's friendship breakdown has been under the spotlight over the last year , and despite once being one of TV 's most famous double acts , the former best pals no longer have the close bond they once treasured . The distance between them is said to have caused sadness @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' the same ' since their fallout , while Phil is said to be ' really sad still ' about their 17-year long relationship collapsing . It was recently revealed that the pair are back in touch after Phil reportedly reached out to his ex co-host when she was thrown into the centre of an alleged kidnap and murder plot . However , a source has said it 's ' very , very unlikely ' they will ever be friends again . Richard Madeley told Good Morning Britain on Wednesday that Holly Willoughby " will be back " on TV after her This Morning exit , while he added she would n't likely return to the show she has hosted for 14 years . The former This Morning host backed Holly 's " wise " and " courageous " decision to quit the ITV daytime series , as she announced the news on Tuesday evening . Richard said that while she would n't be returning to This Morning , Holly " would be back " but that she was " taking stock " and putting her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thing " for Holly to do . Ulrika later weighed in with her thoughts in a somewhat unorthodox method - posting a cryptic response to a video shared to Instagram by the account , Archbishop of Banterbury . The short clip showed a blonde Wilko employee wandering around an empty store , under the caption : " Holly Willoughby walking round the This Morning studio . End of an era . " The mum-of-three , 42 , decided to step down from the ITV daytime show on Tuesday , after 14 years at the helm . Holly signed off saying : " I have to make this decision for me and my family " , which Piers said he ' completely understood ' . After reading the statement , Piers said : " The last line said it all to me . This is because she has got young kids , she 's thinking , ' My God this is not worth it , I 've got one of the best jobs in telly , so what . There is some lunatic out there ' . This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ understand it , I really do . She 's got a lovely family and she 's obviously just thought , ' I 'm done ' " . This Morning returned for the first time since her departure on Wednesday morning . Hosts Craig Doyle and Rochelle Humes started the episode with a tribute to their former co-star . However , many viewers were n't impressed with the tribute to the long-running This Morning presenter as it only lasted 47 minutes . Taking to X - formerly known as Twitter - they vented their frustration at the speech . Leading PR expert , Denise Palmer-Davis of Bourne Media believes that Holly will return to screens with a " bang " when the time is right . Speaking to the Mirror , she said : " It 's been an incredibly tough year for Holly and the decision to step down from This Morning is of no real surprise . " Holly has spent the past 14 years co-hosting The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from her family and a packed schedule alongside her other ITV commitments . " The best thing for Holly now is to step away from the spotlight , which has continued to shine brightly on her following Phil Schofield 's less-than-ideal departure . She needs to spend time with her family and take a break for the rest of the year from further presenting work . " Richard presented This Morning with wife Judy Finnigan for 13 years and spoke to Holly a few days ago live on air during the show 's 35th birthday celebrations . Giving his reaction to the Wylde Moon guru 's sudden departure , he said : " I 'm not surprised . " Claiming Holly is " genuinely a family woman first and a career woman second " , he added : " She has been through a great deal recently , much of it in the public eye , and her wish to prioritise and protect her family life must take precedence over what is , in the final analysis , only telly . " It 's been reported that Phil sent his former best friend a desperate last text in order to save their friendship earlier in the year . The pair called time on their friendship after presenting This Morning together when Phillip left ITV due to having an affair with a younger male colleague . Since then Holly has presented the show without him , until she stepped down herself on Tuesday evening . At time of his departure , the 61-year-old said that he messaged Holly but had received no reply at the time . Despite Holly not replying to that message , it seems the pair have patched up their relationship now . In the first episode of the ITV daytime series , which aired on Wednesday , since the news was announced , Holly 's co-stars Rochelle Humes and Craig Doyle sent their " loves and best wishes " to their colleague , saying they were " proud " of her . The show also said it was " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This Morning stars break silence in first show without Holly Willoughby ITV viewers tuned in to This Morning on Wednesday to the very first show without Holly Willoughby following her shock resignation . Filling in for Holly today were Rochelle Humes and Craig Doyle who started off the show with a tribute to their former co-host , admitting that they were ' heartbroken ' to hear that she wo n't be back on the show after a difficult week . After a 47-second tribute to Holly , who has been on the show for 14-years alongside her former co-host , Phillip Schofield - who also resigned this year - Craig Doyle insisted that ' the show must go on ' without Holly . On Wednesday morning , Susanna wanted to open the latest episode of GMB by sharing a message to " loved " ITV colleague Holly . She and co-host Ed Balls praised her decision to step back from the show for her family . Susanna told Ed she would " miss " seeing Holly around the building , as Ed said she was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Holly Willoughby quit This Morning as ' it had all got too much ' after alleged kidnap plot Holly Willoughby quit This Morning over the alleged plot to kidnap and murder her with the star telling ITV that this was the reason why she was walking away from the ITV show after 14 years . The 42-year-old said she made " this decision for me and my family " which comes after a 36-year-old man was remanded in custody last week charged over an alleged plot to kidnap and murder her . But she was more explicit in her reasons for stepping down to ITV , saying that she could n't carry on in the wake of last week 's news . A TV source said : " It has all got too much . It 's all very sad and everyone at ITV supports her decision , which is clearly a very personal one . " On Tuesday , a pal said : " She is in a bad way and some things are n't worth it no matter how much she adored This Morning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that one of our best presenters felt she had no choice . It 's a damning indictment of Britain today . " Insiders at ITV were keen to keep her and she was happy to stay . Her rolling deal rolled on , with one source quipping that they could have slashed her fee and she 'd have stayed , because it 's a job that she loves , and it 's what she 's known for . Her other commercial work - like being a brand ambassador for M&S - is pegged to her role on This Morning . But there is no denying that the last year has has been tough . Her first taste of the dark side was Queuegate , when she and Schofield got flak for looking like they were pushing in to see the Queen lying in state . It may have been unfair , but they lost that PR battle . And then there was Schofield 's shocking demise , after he lied @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ younger colleague . Before he quit , his sofa chemistry with Holly had imploded . She was upset that she was being dragged into the row over his behaviour with the runner and also upset about not being kept fully in the loop over his paedophile brother , jailed for 12 years in May for child sex offences . Alison Hammond is evens to take her job , with Josie Gibson the second favourite at 2/1 . Rochelle Humes is a rank outsider at 10/1 while Lisa Snowden is a 16/1 bet . Amanda Holden - who used to guest-host the show - 25/1 - with Ruth Langsford on offer at 33/1 . Pals of Holly have claimed she was forced to leave This Morning after the horror of an alleged plot to kidnap and murder her . One pal told how there was anger Holly had to give up a job she loved because she feared for her safety . A man has been charged over the plot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bad way but some things are n't worth it no matter how much she adored This Morning . It 's terrible that one of our best presenters felt she had no choice . " Spice Girls singer Emma Bunton has been on hand to support Holly Willoughby . The singer said : " Lots of love gorgeous girl , " while their friend Nicole Appleton responded to Holly 's statement by adding : " I love you sooo much ! ! " alongside a string of heart emojis . " Elsewhere , Carol Vorderman voiced her support as she commented : " Wishing you and your family peace and strength in what must be a very difficult time after the news of last week Holly x from my time on TM , I know that the team will miss you very much . Take care . " Sharing their support on Holly 's statement , Holly 's co-hosts praised the presenter . Dermot O'Leary commented : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

" Craig Doyle remarked : " We are so supportive of you and we love you to bits , we just wish it did n't end this way . Its a sad day for everyone . " 23:04Charlotte McIntyre Holly was forced to miss last Thursday 's This Morning at the eleventh hour after police uncovered a ' kidnap ' plot . Josie Gibson and Alison Hammond failed to address her absence on Thursday , but Alison and Dermot O'Leary subsequently sent their support to Holly on Friday 's show .

Insiders told MailOnline Holly has been considering stepping down from her beloved ITV show since the departure of her former co-host . 18:59Charlotte McIntyre Last September , she and former co-host Phillip Schofield were accused of skipping the queue to pay their final respects to the late Queen . They later issued a statement stating they had been there as an accredited broadcaster for a filmed segment .

Instead, it uses 'out of' in a different context, discussing priorities in dating rather than causing or preventing an action.

Taylor Swift 's Eras Tour film premiere closed down LA 's The Grove on Wednesday October 11 as 2,200 fans , friends and family arrived for two hours and 48 minutes of pure joy . But it did n't start that way for everyone -- in our screening , a sync issue led to some confusion as what we saw on screen did n't match the vocals . Was this really the output we were getting from the world 's biggest pop star ? Of course not - and midway through ' The Man ' , we were interrupted with an apology and a reset . We would expect nothing less from the Queen of perfection herself . The night started the way most premieres do -- with lines of people . A line to get into the parking lot , a line to get through security , a line to collect physical tickets despite having QR codes . Taylor 's own attendance was up in the air until she posted on Instagram , confirming she was " getting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ known , taking the time to greet waiting fans outside The Grove , snapping selfies and sharing anecdotes -- and probably receiving a few friendship bracelets along the way -- before being joined by her dancers and musicians for a big group picture . Taylor Swift ( C ) with dancers and band at the ' Taylor Swift : The Eras Tour ' Concert Movie World Premiere Beyonce also made a surprise appearance , posing for pictures with Taylor , who wore a $12000 Oscar de la Renta gown -- although it is thought the superstar did not stay to watch the film -- and other celebrities pictured included Mariska Hargitay , Rachel Zegler , Maren Morris , Simu Liu , Julia Garner , and Adam Sandler . Once everyone had taken their seats though , the long wait began . With 14 screenings , filled with fans , Taylor made sure to make the rounds and give her thanks -- and it meant that despite a 7pm start time , many screenings did not kick off until past 8.30pm . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Eras Tour " Concert Movie World Premiere In our screening , where the tour dancers and crew members mingled and eagerly awaiting their first viewing , she began her speech by thanking the fans and sharing that she had " never had this much fun in my life as I have had on the tour " . " It is far in a way , just the most electric experience of my life and , and the reason for that is several things like my band , my dancers , my crew , " she continued to cheers . " We did this show , rain or shine , in sickness and in health , no matter what was going on in our lives and we did it with a grin on our faces because of what greeted us on the other side . What you guys were doing in the audience -- the amount of care and preparation and passion and intensity that you put into coming to these shows -- pulled us out of anything rough that might have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ let us forget about it for 3.5 hours every night on that stage so thank you so much for doing that . " And when the film began , with a gorgeous shot of SoFi Stadium from above , and the intro kicked off , all the waiting was forgotten -- this was what we came for . Some of that was lost in the film ; with so much going on on the stage , shots to the audiences are few and far between , and due to the three-hour plus run time , Taylor had already limited her direct interactions with the crowd , leaving him forced to use the star 's candid facial expression , quirks and waves to the crowd to bring the audience into that feeling . Taylor and her posse of dancers curled up on the runway to watch the video premiere of " Karma " ( feat . Ice Spice ) Where the film really shines though , is in giving the audience a closer look at the incredible talents of her diverse backing singers and dancers . The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the North American tour , and are expected to stay with her into 2024 as she takes the tour global . Some of them - -- looking at you Jan Ravnik and Kam Saunders -- have already gone viral thanks to social media , but getting to see the work of the others up close , particularly during set pieces , such as ' The Last Great American Dynasty ' and ' Tolerate It ' , is a gift . " I appreciate you being here because this night is a core memory for me , and you 're a part of it , " Taylor had told the crowd earlier in the evening , and although the Eras Tour will be a core memory for Swifties forever , getting to relive the memories over and over again is enchanting . |

Treasury minister Andrew Griffith told Sky News the government still believes in " reducing the tax burden " but their priority is bringing down inflation . Asked if we can expect some tax cuts before the next general election , he said : " No , that 's absolutely not what I 'm saying and I think any responsible treasury minister would n't come on your programme this morning and make specific commitments . " Advertisement Labour also refused to commit to tax cuts if it wins the next election - blaming the Tories for " crashing the economy " . Darren Jones , the shadow treasury chief secretary , said : " If Labour wins the next election - which I obviously hope that we do - we will inherit the status-quo . " We 're going to have to keep that show on the road while trying to come forward with big reforms to fix the country and get Britain working again . " Of course we would love to reduce people 's taxes in the medium-term , because they are the highest that they 've @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we 're going to have to fix the country first . " Some Tory MPs are putting pressure on Chancellor Jeremy Hunt to reduce taxes in the autumn statement next month . Former cabinet minister Dame Priti Patel , speaking ahead of the party 's conference in Manchester , said there is a need to " separate " tax and inflation , telling GB News : " I do recall a rather successful Conservative prime minister , Margaret Thatcher , was able to tackle inflation while growing the economy . " However , last week Mr Hunt said it would be " virtually impossible " to cut taxes at the moment . " I really , really wish it was true but unfortunately , it just is n't , " he told LBC . " If you look at what we are having to pay for our long-term debt , it is higher now than it was at the spring budget . " I wish it was n't , it makes life extremely difficult , it makes tax cuts virtually impossible , and it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ difficult decisions . " All I would say is , if we do want those long-term debt costs to come down , then we need to really stick to this plan to get inflation down , get interest rates down . " I do n't know when that 's going to happen . But I do n't think it 's going to happen before the autumn statement on November 22 , alas . " Some Tory MPs are eyeing up cuts to sizeable projects like HS2 as a way to free up cash , and others are calling for a relaxation of inheritance tax . The economy is an area that Mr Sunak wants to make his strength - with three of his five pledges made at the start of this year relating to them . Ben Zaranko , senior research economist at the IFS , said the pandemic could not be blamed for rising tax levels and predicted a high-tax approach was here to stay regardless of who wins the next general election . " It is inconceivable that this parliament will turn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and it looks nailed on to be the biggest tax-raising parliament since at least the Second World War , " he said . " This is not , for the most part , a direct consequence of the pandemic . Rather , it reflects decisions to increase government spending , in part driven by demographic change , pressures on the health service , and some unwinding of austerity . " It is likely that this parliament will mark a decisive and permanent shift to a higher-tax economy . " This was echoed by Mark Franks , the director of welfare at the Nuffield Foundation . He said : " There will be strong pressure in coming parliaments to raise taxes further to meet growing demand for public services such as healthcare . " Future governments must not only have a credible and robust strategy for the economy and the public finances , but should also be forthright and transparent about the difficult trade-offs they will face .

The sentence 'Elsewhere, a different account put @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'll talk his way out of raping Lydia but then she will report him also' fits the transitive out of -ing construction. It has the structural pattern NP subject + V1 ('talk') + NP object ('his way') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('raping Lydia'). The NP object 'his way' is a possessive pronoun coreferential with the subject, which is an atypical but acceptable type of NP object in this construction. The interpretation is prevention, as the subject is preventing himself from being accused or punished for raping Lydia by talking his way out of it.

Viewers were horrified in recent scenes as Lydia was raped by Craig in their work office . Prior to this , Craig and Lydia had bumped into each other after decades apart , having not seen each other since they were young teens . Craig and Lydia grew up in the same children 's home years ago , where Lydia , real name Jenny , fell pregnant aged 15 . Lydia gave birth alone but tragically the baby , Toby , was stillborn . Realising her baby had died , Lydia buried him in a woodland and ran away . In recent episodes , Lydia has been in turmoil and has not told anyone about her rape ordeal , only confiding in Kim Tate . Craig has denied raping her and instead claimed it was consensual . With Lydia in a bad way , Craig even begun showing up at her house and harassing her to stop her exposing what he did to her .

However , fans were left distracted during the scenes as they noticed Craig 's receptionist looked suspiciously at Craig . While on Friday 's episode , after Craig was arrested , his receptionist was seen with tears in her eyes as she watched him be led away by the police .

Additionally, there is no clear movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, and the subject 'he' is not causing another entity to move or preventing them from doing something.

Halle Berry was " tricked " into her role in X-Men , claims director Matthew Vaughn . Vaughn directed X Men : First Class and was a writer and producer for X-Men : Days of Future Past . However , he pulled out of directing X-Men : The Last Stand . Vaughn says he saw a new copy of the X-Men script that he claims was longer than the original . It is then alleged a studio executive spoke to him about an additional scene for Berry . Vaughn made the claims at New York City Comic-Con ( via ScreenRant ) . Advertisement " One of the main reasons I quit ' X-Men 3 , ' and this is a true story , " Vaughn began , " I went to an executive 's office and I saw an ' X3 ' script . It was a lot fatter . I asked , ' What is this draft ? ' They were like , ' Do n't worry about it . ' So I grabbed it , and opened the first page , and it said , ' Africa . Kids dying from no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these children . ' " He continued : " I thought it was a pretty cool idea , " Vaughn continued . " I said , ' What is this ? ' They said , ' This is the Halle Berry script , because she has n't signed on yet . This is what she wants it to be . And once she signs on , we 'll throw it in the bin . ' I thought , if you 're going to do that to an Oscar-winning actress who plays Storm , I quit . " Berry returned as Storm in X-Men : The Last Stand , but the film did not include any of the scenes that Vaughn mentioned . Drake had been teasing the track , taking to Instagram to share an image of Berry getting slimed at the Nickelodeon Kids ' Choice Awards in 2012 , in which he tagged SZA . The ' SOS ' singer also posted the image to her own social media accounts , tagging Drake in return . Advertisement After the single was released , Berry shared @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have to be the bigger guy , even if you 're a woman . " In the comments section , Berry was asked how she felt about Drake using the photo of her for the single . " Did n't get my permission , " Berry wrote in response . " That 's not cool I thought better of him ! " She added : " hence my post today . When people you admire disappoint you you have to be the bigger person and move on ! " |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('someone can talk me out of something that I feel strongly about'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the action of talking is preventing the speaker from doing something they feel strongly about. The verb 'talk' is classified under means of verbal persuasion, and the NP object 'me' functions as a causee. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'get out of' followed by a gerund phrase 'going to court', which does not involve an NP object functioning as a causee. Additionally, it does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Coleen Rooney has shared how the Wagatha trial took its toll on her physical and mental health as she was " stripped of her character " . The mum-of-four was riddled with anxiety during her time in court against fellow WAG Rebekah Vardy in the " Wagatha Christie " case last year , after the wife of ex-England captain Wayne Rooney , had accused Mrs Vardy of leaking stories about her to the press . After a legal row lasting years and costing millions , the High Court concluded her accusation was " substantially true " . Despite Coleen winning the case , the whole process left her feeling admittedly " ashamed " at times , the Mirror reports . Speaking in her new Disney+ docuseries , Coleen said : " Obviously , I 've been through other difficult times in the public eye , especially with my marriage and the death of my sister . " I 've always held myself together but dealt with it in private , because it 's a private situation . For example , with my marriage , I can sit down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . I can sit down with my family and we can console each other . " I could n't sit down with Rebekah in a room and deal with it . From when she issued the court letter , it was all dealt with in the public eye . It was out of my control . While other times have been heartbreaking and upsetting , this was stressful . " The 37-year-old said the entire situation caused a lot of tears and anxiety , as well as having physical effects . Coleen suffers with reactive arthritis , a condition that causes redness and inflammation in various joints in the body , and the trial caused a more serious bout to occur . Coleen added : " It stripped me of me , of my character , and I just did n't want to socialise with people at all . I was completely in my own world . " I would be on the phone crying and crying , saying to Paul Stretford our manager , ' I do n't know if I can do this anymore @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be about to say ' Just give her what she wants ' , but then something would drive me to say , " Coleen , you 're not being true to yourself , carry on . " Wayne was really supportive all the way through , telling me , ' You 've done nothing wrong , carry on and tell the truth and people will see you for you ' . It was those comments that would pick me up . I was hoping that we could settle the case and we would n't have to go to court . " I was n't afraid of what was going to come up , as everything in our lives has been played out in the media , but I was scared of having to stand up and argue my case in court -- that is not me . I would rather do it more quietly and sit around a table . A lot of people thought I 'd taken Rebekah to court , but she drove the whole thing . " Coleen 's new series focuses on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . She revealed that just before the case started , she felt " ashamed " . She added : " The lowest point was when the court case was getting close . I 've never stepped into a courtroom before , and was so scared of getting on that stand . Even though I knew what I believed , it seemed like I was putting on a show for the whole country . " I felt ashamed , and I tried to do everything I could to get out of going to court .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('someone can talk me out of something that I feel strongly about'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the action of talking is preventing the speaker from doing something they feel strongly about. The verb 'talk' is classified under means of verbal persuasion, and the NP object 'me' functions as a causee. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'ruled out' is used in a passive construction, but the following 'headlining Glastonbury Festival 2024' is not a VP[-ing] predicate that induces a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'headlining' functions as a gerund modifying 'Glastonbury Festival 2024', similar to the examples in (7a) and (7b).

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'rule him out of facing Paul' does not involve a V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate structure that gives rise to either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'rule him out' is a phrasal verb followed by a prepositional phrase 'of facing Paul', which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Both Mike Perry and Dillon Danis are potentials ( Image : Getty Images ) More of a challenge would be Paul taking on Perry , who was the stand-in fighter for Danis should he have pulled out of the bout as was feared . Perry also went face-to-face with the ex-jiu jitsu champ last week in case Logan was ruled out .

There 's been repeated murmurings about Paul vs Hall , yet another retired MMA fighter , in the last 12 months . Hall first called out Paul last October .

Though it might seem like residents have simply hit a genetic jackpot , author Dan Buettner - who pioneered the concept of Blue Zones after studying long living populations across the world - reckons it has something to do with their diet and lifestyle . But health experts say that chronic inflammation can be detrimental to your health . Harvard Health even says it could be a major cause of fatty substance buildup in the arteries , heart attacks and strokes . So why not do like the Blue Zoners do and take a leaf out of Loma Linda residents ' book . Here are nine lifestyle tips they swear by . Loma Linda is actually home to a large community of Seventh-day Adventist Christians , many of whom do n't eat meat .

He thinks Adventists lack of meat and dairy eating is one of the keys to their longevity . Gary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ while still enjoying a little meat and cheese . Foods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the amount of fat that enters your blood after a meal , slow plaque buildup in your arteries and improve blood pressure and circulation , according to Heart UK .

You can also find them in foods like : oily fish , including salmon seeds like flax , chia , pumpkin and hemp green leafy vegetables oats Keeping connected to your social circle and being able to interact and share with other people can be key to reducing stress , a major factor that causes bodily inflammation , according to Gary . This is especially important as people get older and it 's easier to fall into cycles of loneliness . Dr David Baylink , a lab scientist and head of regenerative medicine at Loma @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some kind of positive feedback from society in order to get the most out of living longer . " We all know that loading up on fresh fruit and veg is the key to good health . But if you 're finding that you 're not having enough weekly , it might actually have a lot to do with the way you shop for food . It 's easier to reach for a sugary snack if you do n't have something fresh and nutritious at hand . It comes as nutritionist Kim Schweiger warned Sun Health that refined sugar - found in chocolate , cakes , fizzy drinks and even cereals - " is bad for every part of your body and linked to all chronic diseases " . University dining services director in Loma Linda , Greg Sullivan , said the key to healthy eating is mapping out a menu for your week ahead of your food shop . He advised doing a big haul once a week and planning out your meals day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and sugary snacks . Adventists in Loma Linda tend to avoid any kind of stimulant drinks like fizzy pop , alcohol and even coffee . |

The empty 0.28 hectare site had already been granted outline planning permission for a total of six homes , but in these plans , the scheme was reduced to five . The proposal , which has now been given the green light , included a pair of two-storey semi-detached homes , a pair of detached cottages and one larger three-bed home that would replace two plots in the outline plans . The homes will be complete with gardens between 100sqm and 135sqm and will have car parking spaces and a garden terrace . The site is to be accessed via an existing driveway off Ashfield Road and a new access road is planned to link up the route . Elmswell Parish Council , who voices serious reservations over the plans from the start , objected to the application and said the plans were " out of keeping with the very specific and considered design of the existing White House Barns development . " And a resident of White House Barns said : " Our community has a particular identity , and introducing a larger development might not blend well with the existing architecture @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ proximity of the proposed development to our homes . Such a close distance may lead to excessive noise and disturbances during the construction phase and even after the new houses are occupied .

" The plans were approved by Mid Suffolk Council planning officers on October 13 .

The 2010 film , Insidious , was found to have the scariest scene ( Image : Everett/REX/Shutterstock ) The findings are part of the Science of Scare Project , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . This year 's experiment scored on heart rate and heart rate variance .

" On the other hand , heart rate variance ( HRV ) measures the time in between each beat of your heart . The findings are part of the Science of Scare Project , which compiled the scariest movies over four years ( Image : AP ) " Our audience experienced a 34 per cent uplift in heart rate when watching the movie , from 64 bpm up to 86 bpm across the movie , with the film 's scariest moment sending hearts pounding to 131 bpm , " according to project researchers . " HRV dropped by 21 per cent among viewers , the second lowest of any film on the list , indicating a perfect balance of startling moments and slow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a scare score of 96 out of 100 . While Insidious ranked fourth scariest , the researchers found the 2010 film had the highest spike overall . This means the movie includes the scariest scene in horror movie history . @ A Brit drug lord who hid his criminal empire behind a luxury playboy lifestyle , has failed in his desperate bid to be released from jail . Aram Sheibani , 43 , from Greater Manchester , was sentenced to 37 years in prison in June 2021 for his part in a high-level cocaine conspiracy that lasted nearly 10 years . Sheibani , from Bowdon , Trafford , used money from fraud and drugs to build up a ? 5m property portfolio , which included a swanky ? 1.74 million flat in Kensington , London . He had Banksy and Andy Warhol artwork , travelled the globe , drove fancy cars like a Bentley and a Porsche , all while pretending to be a legitimate businessman . According to the Manchester Evening News , Cops also discovered he had over ? 1m in cash , cryptocurrency worth ? 1.3m , original artwork from Banksy and Andy Warhol , and that he 'd splashed out on cosmetic surgery including veneers , hair transplants and a nose job . A judge slammed Sheibani , saying his " greed knew no boundaries " and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ head of a large-scale , international drugs conspiracy " and was " very close to the very source of production in Colombia " . Despite Sheibani 's claims that his wealth came from legitimate sources , jurors took just five hours to convict him of 20 fraud , money laundering and drug offences after an eight-week trial . Earlier this week , the Court of Appeal in London heard a renewed appeal against both his conviction and sentence . Sheibani 's barrister labelled the evidence of drug dealing against him as " circumstantial " , arguing his conviction was unsafe . He also said there was " no evidential basis " for the lengthy sentence . Simon Csoka KC , representing Sheibani , argued that it " was not a case where there was an identified conspiracy " . Bags of cash were found at his Manchester flat ( Image : MEN Media ) He claimed his client was n't given a chance to bid to have the charges dismissed , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ put forward into what might be termed a Frankenstein conspiracy " consisting of parts of more than one " conspiracy " . " Where is the evidence that this was a single conspiracy as against a number of conspiracies ? , " he questioned . He was a lover of fancy cars ( Image : MEN Media ) He added that for a conviction , the jury must be certain Sheibani was guilty of the offence as outlined in the indictment and that they are ' considering the same conspiracy together . ' He claimed the judge had ' not directed the jury about that issue . ' Both appeals were thrown out by a panel of three judges . Lady Justice Macur said the full reasons for their decision would be published in writing in due course . " That is the end of the matter as far as this court is concerned unless anyone finds other evidence to put before the CCRC ( Criminal Cases Review Commission ) , " she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Economic Crime Unit , described Sheibani as a " calculated , deceitful and scheming criminal " after his sentencing . She said : " He is a dishonest individual who has not shown any remorse for his actions throughout this entire investigation , refusing to cooperate with police and attempting to destroy evidence . " The extent of Sheibani 's criminality should not be underestimated ; not only is he involved in tax evasion and money laundering which has a detrimental effect on the economy and society , resulting in honest taxpayers feeling that burden , but the source of his tainted income is as a result of a class A drugs conspiracy .

It uses 'come out of' which is intransitive and does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee. Additionally, it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'opted out of subscribing' involves an intransitive verb 'opted' with no NP object, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a choice not to subscribe, which is unrelated to the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence 'Kazuma Kiryu faked his own death, but now in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased his Name he's being forced out of hiding by a mysterious figure.' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The NP subject is 'a mysterious figure', the V1 is 'forced', the NP object is 'he' (referring to Kazuma Kiryu), and the VP2[-ing] predicate is 'hiding'. This gives rise to a movement/extraction interpretation, where the mysterious figure is causing Kazuma Kiryu to move out of hiding by means of forcing. The verb 'forced' falls under the category of exerting force or pressure, which is one of the classifications for verbs in this construction. Additionally, the NP object 'he' functions as a causee, participating in the event described by 'hiding'. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

James Blunt admits wanting to " punch himself in the face " after a number of awkward run-ins throughout his glistening music career . The You 're Beautiful hitmaker has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide and enjoyed a nearly two-decade career , providing him with fame and fortune . But not everything has gone to plan throughout James ' time in the industry . With artists saying they 'd rather " eat their own s**t " than work with him , world-famous stars refusing to shake his hand and renowned artists moving out after he moved to their area , James has well and truly gone through it . Despite the awkward ordeals with Paul Weller , Mick Jagger and Noel Gallagher in Ibiza , respectfully , James admits wanting to hit himself . " To be honest , when I look back I want to punch me in the face , " Blunt told The Times . " I came out of boarding school and the army and I was very naive and I got a bit of a kicking . Did I deserve it ? Yes , probably . Has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And like boarding school , I 've sort of come to enjoy it . Was I beaten at school ? Yes , I was . Did I enjoy that ? Yep , probably , and I 'm just getting a bit more of it now . " He told the newspaper he 'd once again like to " punch himself " after watching back his own awards acceptance speeches . " I honestly wanted to punch myself in the face just as much as anyone else , so maybe they were on to something . " Addressing the awkward ordeal with Noel , James said that house prices " rocketed " . He joked : " I honestly could n't say if that was because I 'd arrived or because Noel had left . But I get his point , and although my music is as limp as lettuce , I actually love dance music and nightclubs . " It comes after James revealed the inspiration behind one of his biggest hits last year . He has released a series of hit songs over the years , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , still remains his best-known tune . Speaking on The John Bishop Show in February 2022 , James confessed that while his third single may be used in romantic settings , ' You 're Beautiful ' actually has a quite creepy origin story . Appearing alongside comedian Katherine Ryan on the ITV show , the crooner was asked about his most famous song and just what inspired him to write it . " It 's about me stalking somebody else 's girlfriend on the underground while I 'm high , " the singer told host John Bishop . " But people play it at their weddings , which is nice . " Viewers watching at home were stunned by the revelation , with one taking to Twitter to write : " Just read the lyrics of @JamesBlunt You 're beautiful- it really is about a high stalker #TheJohnBishopShow , " adding a mind-blown emoji. |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It involves the phrase 'pull out of Dancing on Ice', where 'Dancing on Ice' is a proper noun referring to a show, not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object in the sentence that functions as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'opt out of sharing their data' involves the verb 'opt' which does not fit the V1 slot categories described, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations. Instead, it describes a choice to not participate in an action, which is different from the causative meanings typical of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The NHS is about to make it far easier for hospitals to share data , including patient records , in the latest stage of its digitisation drive . But is enough being done to win public backing for moves to realise its huge value , asks Sophie Church For 75 years the National Health Service has been collecting our data . From records of GP appointments to details of prescribed medication , some of the most sensitive information concerning around 65 million people is on file . These notes , essential to individual care , have enormous value both to improve the operation of the NHS and to those -- including private companies -- looking to develop new diagnostic techniques and therapies with the help of artificial intelligence ( AI ) . The NHS has been notoriously bad at building systems that realise these potential benefits . While politicians repeatedly insist that technology offers the prospect of huge savings and better care , the reality rarely , if ever , meets the ambition . Now the NHS is on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ says will allow NHS Trusts and integrated care systems to share data , including patient data , they already hold . Together with the NHS app and the rollout of electronic patient records to all hospitals in England by the end of 2025 , are we finally on the cusp of a real digital revolution ? We 're all deeply suspicious of procurement now , precisely because of the pandemic ; the favours done to people and so on The most ambitious of these plans is the new federated data platform ( FDP ) -- worth ? 480m -- which is about to be tendered to a private company . The platform is designed to overcome the problems that bedevil data sharing between Trusts with different IT systems . At a glance , staff will be able to access the number of available beds in a hospital , look at waiting lists and monitor medical supplies . It should make the health service more efficient for clinicians and patients , speeding , for example , the journey from cancer diagnosis to first treatment or to discharge . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the NHS website earlier this month it insists the FDP " will initially be focused on supporting five key NHS priorities " which it lists as elective recovery ; care co-ordination ; vaccination and immunisation ; population health management ; and supply chain management . The NHS acknowledges , however , that this vast treasure trove of data could be used later for other purposes , although insists " no further uses will be allowed without further engagement with public , patient and stakeholder assurance and advisory groups " . NHS data on file ( Credit : ANDREW WALTERS / Alamy Stock Photo ) This engagement is way behind where it should be , according to a range of experts and watchdogs . But it is essential to keep the public onside regarding future access , as patients will only be able to opt out of sharing their data for research and planning , not for direct patient care . The NHS insists that new privacy protection software will ensure that only clinicians who need to see individual patient data will be able to do so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to prevent a backlash . Labour peer Lord Knight says failing to understand the benefits of having a digital data depot comes down to the public 's lack of awareness about data . " There are n't that many people who are fully up to speed ... on what data is collected , under what consent regimes , how that data becomes training data for AI ... it 's difficult , " he says . Steve Barclay , Health Secretary , speaking at a fringe event at Conservative Party Conference , says we are standing on the brink of a great opportunity , not a cataclysmic threat . He questions why the public would be happy to share health data with certain bodies but not others . " There 'll be people wearing Apple watches and sharing their health data with California without thinking about it , " he says . " And yet when it comes to the NHS , which they love , they 're much more suspicious about sharing data . " Lord Knight agrees there is a disconnect in our attitude to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to share our data with retailers -- in return for discounts , for instance -- surely we can support sharing health data , too . " Maybe we would be willing to get a better health service with better treatment , more personalisation and better understanding of our own individual cancer , or whatever , in exchange for sharing our data , " he suggests , while recognising that " the step-change in trust needs to be massive " . Barclay hopes the NHS app can empower the public . As an example , he says : " The patient can decide to share their data with an AI firm because they 've got a family history of a condition and they want someone to look at that . " However , the risks of getting ahead of the public are real . In 2015 , the Royal Free NHS Foundation Trust gave Google 's DeepMind access to vast amounts of patient data . Legal action was taken on behalf of 1.6 million people , though the claim was eventually dismissed by the High Court . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ data with the NHS at all , warns Carol Monaghan , vice-chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Artificial Intelligence . In this case , no one wins . " It comes down to the key aspect of who owns the data . If that data is passed on to a third party , the patient starts to lose ownership , " she says . " It is absolutely right that patients are able to opt out . But if we 're using data to try to improve efficiencies , or trying to develop better systems , when we start getting opt-outs , we start losing the granularity that really makes it worth doing . " Perhaps , though , says Liberal Democrat peer Lord Clement-Jones , the reason for public mistrust lies in government procurement processes , more than the end result . " We 're all deeply suspicious of procurement now , precisely because of the pandemic ; the favours done to people and so on . " NHS app ( Credit : GSTech / Alamy Stock Photo ) Lord Knight agrees , suggesting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ data being held at arm 's length from government seems a sensible step to take " . There are signs that trust in the current FDP procurement process is already dwindling . Though UK data technology company Quantexa is also said to be in the running to win the contract , in a consortium with IBM , critics have accused the government of giving preferential treatment to Palantir Technologies , an American software company whose platform , Foundry , helped track Covid-19 data during the pandemic . The NHS insists there is no frontrunner and that it has worked with No 10 to ensure the tendering process is fair . The contract is expected to be awarded in the coming weeks . " I think when Palantir were given ... the contract for the Covid data store , " Monaghan says , " it gave them a foot in the door , and you remember that was a contract that was awarded without going out to tender . " Now , she says , the public " have a right to know some of the process " in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would be willing to get a better health service ... in exchange for sharing our data but the step-change in trust needs to be massive As it stands , answering the question of who decides what happens to the data once it is on the platform is proving difficult , and more needs to be done , says England 's national data guardian , Dr Nicola Byrne . " The programme needs to be very clear ... that the tech company does n't have that kind of access , " Byrne says . " There may be access they need for the management of the system , or security checks , or whatever . But the company themselves wo n't be able to access and use any of that data . " Lord Clement-Jones holds legislators responsible for breeding concern about data privacy . " If you look at the new Data Protection and Digital Information ( No. 2 ) Bill , " he says , " they seem to be redefining the meaning of personal data , and changing things like legitimate interest and so on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is being watered down . " However , Lord Holmes thinks there are elements of the bill that could be amended in the Lords to ensure the public is still protected . Specifically , he mentions pseudonymisation : the act of removing or transforming information that identifies an individual . Pseudonymisation has been redefined by the Commons , meaning the public 's data may be less protected and is , he says , " one of the areas I 'll be bringing up and wanting to delve into " . For now , Lord Holmes says it is absolutely critical that government fosters greater public debate around data . To do so , he says we need only look to the recent past . He references the Warnock Committee , which communicated with the public on in vitro fertilisation , enabling people " to feel connected " to what , at the time , seemed a proposition of " science fiction " . Barclay agrees more needs to be done to communicate with the public . " I think , just as with the debate on vaccines @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the threats , rather than talk about the benefits of early diagnosis and the benefits to their health , " he says . " We have not enabled that sort of empowering of the patient on the health side . And I think there 's a huge opportunity to do so . " |

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: 'developing nations' (NP object) are 'locked out of playing against the top teams' (VP2[-ing] predicate). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the action prevents the developing nations from playing against the top teams. The verb 'locked' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure, which is one of the classifications for verbs in the V1 slot of the construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'locked out of playing against the top teams' involves a passive construction where 'developing nations' are the subject, but there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

With Stephen 's mum Audrey Roberts ( Sue Nicholls ) having reported this to the police , and Peter coming to terms with the fact that Stephen did n't need to die , Peter was taken back to the police station by DS Swain ( Vicky Myers ) .

A drugs and firearms trafficker with contacts around the globe boasted he was the " best in Liverpool " at producing crack cocaine . Terence Clarke bragged of having armed himself with an AK47 assault rifle and offered a Skorpion submachine gun and an Uzi up for sale via encrypted communications platform EncroChat , while also running county lines supply chains across England and Wales . After being rumbled as the man behind the secret identity " SacredTruck " , the dad now says he wants to bring to an end his decades of involvement in the criminal underworld . Liverpool Crown Court heard today , Thursday , that the 35-year-old was identified as the user of this handle when the network was infiltrated by law enforcement in 2020 . Nicola Daley , prosecuting , described how Clarke , of Lichfield Road in Wavertree , was shown to have involved himself in " arrangements for the supply of illegal drugs and the potential sale or transfer of lethal weapons and ammunition " . He was said to have been " told about various items " , the details of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . These weapons included assault rifles and semi-automatic handguns , with a Skorpion being offered for ? 12,000 and an Uzi submachine gun being priced at ? 9,000 . However , Ms Daly stated there had been no evidence of a " direct transfer taking place " . But Clarke himself had claimed in his messages to other service users that he was the owner of an AK47 .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks a clear causer and causee relationship, and there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of middling jobs' is not a VP[-ing] predicate but rather a prepositional phrase describing the nature of the jobs.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, 'pull out of' is followed by a noun phrase 'training for Stand Up To Cancer', not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object between the verb 'pull' and 'out of', and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Tyson Fury has admitted that he does n't even recognise himself when he sees photos and videos from when he hit his highest weight during his lowest moment . The heavyweight champion was on top of the world after dethroning Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 , but struggled with his mental health and substance issues , leading to three years away from the sport . During that time , he ballooned in weight to over 400lb , before turning his life around in pursuit of Deontay Wilder 's WBC belt . And speaking this week ahead of the first of two major Saudi Arabian fights against Francis Ngannou and Oleksandr Usyk , he spoke of how he does n't even see himself in those old photos . Fury will face former UFC champion Ngannou this weekend , before a touted December 23 date with Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight title .

" It started off good and I was on ITV and had nine fights my first year , then it went a little bit drier and drier and drier and the inactivity started , I was out for long periods of time and then it went from bad to worse . " S*** happens in life and it 's a lesson for anybody , no matter what comes at you and how s*** you feel and how you think you 're in a dodgy place ; you never know what tomorrow will bring . I was out of boxing 30 months , that 's a long time and I did n't think I was going to come back at any stage , I was very heavy .

And that 's only the weight issue , the rest of it is an ongoing battle . " Fury 's ability to speak openly about his mental health struggles has made him one of the UK 's most beloved sport stars in recent years . His return to the ring has seen him become WBC champion , and should he beat Usyk he could end the year as the first undisputed champion of the four-belt era. |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes pets injuring themselves while trying to escape from clothing, but there is no NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'get out of clothing' is a literal description of escaping from clothing, not a construction with the specified grammatical properties.

People are being warned of the dangers that come with making their own Halloween costumes for their pets . As fun as it may be to get your furry-friend to join in with spooky celebrations , it could end up causing more harm than good . Everypaw Pet Insurance 's in-house vet , Dr. Anna Foreman , has issued an urgent warning for pet owners as several DIY dog fancy dress costumes seen on social media pose various health risks . The vet explains : " Premade animal costumes usually must pass some form of safety testing before being sold . DIY costumes are not , and so should be avoided in animals . " Her warning comes as research carried out by Everypaw shows searches for ' DIY dog Halloween costume ' have risen by 467% in the last three months , while searches for ' pet Halloween costume ' have increased by 555% in that same time .

Fear , anxiety or aggression being displayed by a dog , with their owner at risk of being harmed . Risk of skin irritation . If skin is broken , dyes should be avoided as they can lead to infection . Water , shampoo or dye in a dog 's eyes , or on any of their orifices could be a problem as mucosal junctions tend to be very sensitive . " Premade animal costumes usually must pass some form of safety testing before being sold , DIY costumes are not , " the vet claims @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : Adhesives used can be toxic if contact with the skin , eyes or mucosal membranes is made , or if ingested . Parts of the costume are more likely to fall off and be ingested , leading to a gastrointestinal upset , or worse toxicity or obstruction . Parts of the costume may be restrictive and cause distress , or more seriously cut off blood supply to the limbs , head or tail . This can lead to catastrophic injuries , such as the loss of a limb or even life . Parts of the costume may be flammable leading to injury -- particularly as animals do not have the ability to remove costumes from themselves if uncomfortable or if something goes wrong . Although a lot of owners see no harm in animals wearing costumes for Halloween , many show signs of distress that owners may not be attuned to . The danger of ignoring an animal showing subtle signs of distress is that they may escalate this behaviour very quickly to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ says : " When animals become distressed they tend to exhibit the ' fight ' or ' flight ' response . If animals become stressed in a costume , there is the risk that they may exhibit the ' flight ' response and run away , which is particularly dangerous if they are outside . " Pets may also injure themselves trying to get out of clothing -- for example , cats and dogs can get neckwear stuck in their mouth , which can cause jaw and tooth injuries , they can seriously injure a limb or their head if they get a leg stuck in a costume and lose their balance . " She added : " If an animal gets an outfit stuck over their head they may asphyxiate themselves if it is not a breathable material . If an animal is unable to remove the items , or are so terrified they exhibit the ' freeze ' rather than fight or flight response , then they may simply sit still with their ears and head down , trying to make themselves as small as possible @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which can be the case with many cats and small pets , then they can suffer a heart attack or other fatal stress related event . More worryingly , some animals can exhibit the ' fight ' response and become aggressive when put in a costume . " Looking at the ' ladder of aggression ' , they may start by licking their nose or lips , yawning and turning away , but this can turn quickly into growling , snapping and biting . Owners tend not to be attuned to these early signs of distress , which is why many animals have to resort to the later signs to get the message across . " If a dog needs to wear a coat or jumper , it should be made of a soft fitting material if indoors or can be made of a waterproof material if being worn outside . The clothes should not be too tight ( can lead to blood supply issues ) , or too loose ( so the animal gets stuck @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the vet explains . Otherwise a dog should only wear a costume if they are not exhibiting stress related behaviours when wearing it . Cats should never wear outfits -- as mentioned above only a medical pet shirt is suitable for a cat to wear . There is no instance where dressing a cat or small pet up is ethical or in their best interest . " Overall , there is absolutely no need for an animal to dress up at Halloween . No owner can physically monitor an animal constantly when wearing one , and so the risk of a problem or injury is high , " Dr Foreman states . " Animals do not enjoy wearing costumes , they are simply used for our benefit only . " Instead , there are other ways dogs can join in during Halloween : Make dog friendly Halloween treats which can include the insides of pumpkins from carving : too much of this can cause a gastrointestinal upset however , and treats should be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Friendly , well-trained dogs can still participate in trick or treating : unfortunately , many dogs are reactive to strangers or other dogs , particularly in the dark or if startled by a costume . If a dog is kept on a lead , is friendly with other dogs and people , and most importantly enjoys visiting new places and meeting new people , it may be appropriate to take them trick or treating . Make sure to respect how others feel about dogs too . Dogs can be given the leftovers : ( in moderation ) from activities such as apple bobbing . Take your dog for an autumnal walk : this is guaranteed to be the thing they will enjoy the most , far more than a party or being dressed up .

It describes pets injuring themselves while trying to escape from clothing, but there is no verb in the V1 slot acting on an NP object with an out of VP2[-ing] predicate that induces a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It describes pets injuring themselves while trying to get out of clothing, which does not involve a causer causing a causee to move out of or prevent an action. The phrase 'get out of clothing' is a literal description of physical movement, not a construction with a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

People are being warned of the dangers that come with making their own Halloween costumes for their pets . As fun as it may be to get your furry-friend to join in with spooky celebrations , it could end up causing more harm than good . Everypaw Pet Insurance 's in-house vet , Dr. Anna Foreman , has issued an urgent warning for pet owners as several DIY dog fancy dress costumes seen on social media pose various health risks . The vet explains : " Premade animal costumes usually must pass some form of safety testing before being sold . DIY costumes are not , and so should be avoided in animals . " Her warning comes as research carried out by Everypaw shows searches for ' DIY dog Halloween costume ' have risen by 467% in the last three months , while searches for ' pet Halloween costume ' have increased by 555% in that same time . ' Dog-friendly paint ' has also gone up by 24% in the last three months . Dr @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ painting , dying or otherwise colouring a pet 's fur . There is no situation where dying a pet 's fur is benefiting the animal themselves -- it is purely benefiting us for aesthetic purposes . " Dangers include : A risk of toxicity from inappropriate product use - Human hair colourants and paints , including ' non-toxic ' kids paint , should be avoided as they are toxic if ingested and can harm the skin . Fear , anxiety or aggression being displayed by a dog , with their owner at risk of being harmed . Risk of skin irritation . If skin is broken , dyes should be avoided as they can lead to infection . Water , shampoo or dye in a dog 's eyes , or on any of their orifices could be a problem as mucosal junctions tend to be very sensitive . " Premade animal costumes usually must pass some form of safety testing before being sold , DIY costumes are not , " the vet claims @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : Adhesives used can be toxic if contact with the skin , eyes or mucosal membranes is made , or if ingested .

This can lead to catastrophic injuries , such as the loss of a limb or even life .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'get out of' followed by a gerund phrase 'romping with her co-star husband Mark Consuelos', which does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee. Additionally, it does not clearly convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the transitive out of -ing construction.

Soap star Kelly Ripa has " faked her own death " to get out of romping with her co-star husband Mark Consuelos . The All My Children actress got candid about the pair 's sex life on their show Live With Kelly and Mark last week , sharing her revelation that female frogs " fake their own deaths to avoid unwanted attention " from the males of the species . She joked on the programme : " Let me just say they learned that from us . " Mark joined in : " When Kelly is faking her own death , I put a mirror over her face to see if she 's breathing . If it fogs up , it 's gon na be a nice Friday night ! " But Kelly was n't done as she hit back : " That 's why I 've learned to hold my breath for seven to 18 minutes . He thinks I 'm dead constantly ! " They continued to take some more inspiration from the frog study they were discussing , with Kelly admitting it 's given her some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ own death ' to avoid romping with her hubby ( Image : Getty Images ) She read : " Amphibians are taking ghosting to the next level in their world by playing dead to avoid unwanted male interaction . The frog will stretch out her arms and legs and act as if she were dead . " Kelly could n't resist quipping : " I got ta try that one ! My death pose is too animated . " And it 's hardly the first time the pair have opened up about their sex lives , even admitting to romping on set of All My Children when they were starring together . She told Andy Cohen that they 've romped everywhere from the soap set to a public bathroom -- as well as the Watch What Happens Live host 's Fire Island beach house . Kelly came close to having a real medical emergency in the bathroom , however , when she passed out during a romp as an ovarian cyst ruptured . She said her hubby @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ take her to the emergency room . She revealed in her memoir Live Wire : Long-Winded Short Stories : " My eyes shift between the fuzzy images on the screen , the remnants of my ovarian tormentor , and Mark happily snacking away . Sex can be so traumatic I think , and yet one of us is completely undaunted . " There he is , happily munching on the saltines now and ordering a second apple juice . Mark could be at a movie , or a spa . Instead , I 'm flat on my back wondering when the other two cysts will burst . " Mark Consuelos has warned his daughter to knock before entering their bedroom ( Image : @kellyripa/Instagram ) For more of the latest showbiz news from Daily Star , make sure you sign up to one of our newsletters here . They 've even had to warn their daughter Lola to knock before walking in on them , with Mark explaining : " She 's so excited to be living with us again because it 's her last @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back to her apartment , she 's staying with us . " And you know what she does now ? The door 's closed in our bedroom , no knock , she just walks in and says , ' Hey girls !

You 're so funny and you 're just fantastic -- but you got ta knock . ' " Kelly joked : " Because at this point , anything you walk in on is your problem ! " as Mark added : " Well , be warned Lola Conseulos . Cause this week 's freaky week , is n't it ? Yeah , this is Jan. 30 . We 're going to get freaky this week ! " |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Additionally, it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'putting themselves through these feats of endurance' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate with a causee object.

" You 'll have to excuse me . I 'm a little bit snotty at the moment . I think I might be allergic to the dog . " Despite completing 10 marathons , two Ironman competitions and several of the most extreme footraces on the planet , it turns out Lowri Morgan might actually be human after all . She 's perhaps too humble to really admit it , but the 48-year-old is arguably one of the world 's most successful endurance athletes , and has put her body through the sort of extreme conditions beyond the wildest nightmares of most mere mortals . Indeed , the prospect of pulling on a pair of trainers and signing up for a regular marathon would be considered extreme by many civilians . The thought of running 350 miles across the Arctic or wading through piranha-infested waters in the Amazon jungle would be almost universally seen as downright lunacy . " I was with a tribesman who could speak English . He was basically saying healthy piranhas are harmless , " she tells WalesOnline . " Perhaps the films have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me that these particular piranhas were healthy . " I think in that situation you just have to trust what they say . " She 's giving it a good go , but I ca n't help but feel her attempts to champion the poor misunderstood piranha are likely to fall on deaf ears . " There were warnings about jaguars too , but I remember this tribesman said in his 40 years of living in the jungle he 'd seen a jaguar once , but said he 'd lost count of how many times a jaguar had seen him ! " she added . " I 've actually started to give to charities that help offer pathways for jaguars . I always think that wherever I go , it 's important to give something back . " They 're apparently very shy creatures . " Again , the prospect of being stalked by jaguars feels a hard sell , but Lowri has always been curious to see just how far she can push things . Her time in the Amazon unfolded in front @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 2008 , where she took on the Jungle Ultra marathon , an unimaginably gruelling 140-mile footrace through the rainforest in sweltering heat and , by the sounds of it , under the gaze of various critters capable of inflicting varying degrees of physical harm . " There 's a perception sometimes that marathon running or endurance events are about breaking boundaries . But I prefer to think that it 's more about bending boundaries , " she says . " There are different things that stop you . Your mind can tell you that you 've reached your limit , but your body can still carry on . " Mindset is an amazing thing , " she adds . " I do lots of conference talks about it . I find it fascinating . " One ca n't help but think her mind has probably worked a hell of a lot harder than most , with the physical punishments well beyond what most would deem anywhere near tolerable . " I lost my all my toenails in the Amazon , " she remembers . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which can be around 40 degrees , means it 's quite common . I also had trench foot . " Then there was another time during that race where I stepped on a hornets ' nest and I was quite badly stung .

They took one look in my mouth and said ' no , you 're fine ' . " I was OK then . It was all just in my head . I was telling myself I had to stop but really I was OK . " Completing that journey through the Amazon would be the pinnacle for many endurance athletes , but 18 months later , Lowri would take on a challenge she claims was even tougher . The notorious Arctic 6633 is a bruising non-stop 380-mile race through the Arctic circle . In the the 16 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Only 51 have managed to finish . It 's widely accepted as one of the most intense endurance challenges on the planet . Once again , Lowri would attempt it in front of the S4C cameras . In preparation , she ran around 4,000 miles over the course of 12 months and trained with special forces in Norway . She even ran inside an industrial-sized freezer in a bid to try to acclimatise to the brutal freezing conditions that lay in wait . " The cold would just bite you to your bones , " she says . " I was crying in pain at some points . The sunsets were beautiful but initially I hated them as I knew it would be about to get dark . I learned how to set up my cooking equipment blindfolded so I could do it in the dark . " I then fractured my foot towards the end . I do n't actually remember fracturing it , but I pulled my foot out and it just looked black . I was in quite a bit of pain then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't go on , but I just remember thinking about myself on the sofa at home thinking about how disappointed I would be if I did n't keep going . " The stress fractures in her feet meant she had to finish the race on crutches , but the physical injury was nothing compared to what many outsiders would consider a descent into madness . " Initially I was getting about 20 minutes of sleep a night , " she explains . " I think the longest sleep I had was about two hours . It was one stage , so the clock was always ticking . If you 're sleeping , the clock is always ticking . I did the Arctic before becoming a mother , so to be fair I think I 'll probably be better on the sleep deprivation ! " She jokes now . But the lack of sleep , combined with the extreme conditions , created a void that was soon filled with visions of the bizarre and , at times , the outright disturbing .

In 2016 as part of the Wales Year of Adventure , she completed three 50-mile ultra marathons in three days , taking her from Snowdonia to the Brecon Beacons .

Many will understandably wonder what anyone gets out of putting themselves through these feats of endurance . But Lowri 's fondness for pushing herself is n't exactly new , although her sporting career might well have taken a different path in another life . Lowri Morgan has been passionate about running since an early age ( Image : Lowri Morgan/Lensmonkey ) " I was a runner before going to university , " she remembers . " So I ran for Welsh schools and then Swansea Harriers . I knew early on just how much running helped me . Not just physically but mentally as well . It was just a relief from school work and the tension of GCSEs . " I then went to university . Some of my friends who I had run with , who were older than me , had established themselves in the Cardiff University Rugby team . " Rugby became a huge passion for young Lowri , one that bizarrely started courtesy of a member of Welsh rock-n-roll royalty . " Cerys Matthews was actually in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up Catatonia. , " Lowri says . " They were at the start of their journey . So I went in and took her spot basically . I knew Cerys when we were youngsters . Our parents are both doctors and knew each other so we were family friends . " I went into the side on the promise of playing one game until they found somebody . But after that first game against Aberystwyth I then found myself falling in love with the game of rugby . " Lowri showed huge promise on the rugby field . But when she was just 18 , in a game against Loughborough , her world would come crashing down . " The doctors said I would n't ever be able to run again . I think that gave me the hunger to go and do it all . I was watching my friends go off and have careers in sport , and I think it definitely motivated me to start push my body . Lowri has also enjoyed a successful career as a broadcaster and presenter for S4C @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ slowly try to build my running up again . " Lowri recovered in style , continuing her rugby journey to eventually represent Wales , her first cap coming against Scotland in 1996 . However , the injury still left a mark . With a love of running already part of her , the fear of getting injured again weighed heavy on her mind . Running eventually overtook rugby as her key passion and , having worked so hard to defy her doctors , it was perhaps inevitable that she would look beyond what many would consider to be more conventional marathon events . As we bring our long chat to a close it 's clear she gets something of a kick out of defying expectations . More recently , motherhood has perhaps been a factor too . Inspiring her son Gwilym is , she argues , perhaps her greatest driver of all . " I 've always wanted to show my son that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things , " she added . " I 'm really passionate about that message . " There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But that 's definitely one of the biggest ones .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It involves the verb 'gets' with an NP object 'what anyone gets out of putting themselves through these feats of endurance', but it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to be about the benefits or results of an action, not about causing or preventing an action.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object between the verb 'gets' and 'out of defying expectations'. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the construction. The phrase 'gets something of a kick out of defying expectations' suggests deriving pleasure from an action, which is not a feature of the transitive out of -ing construction.

" You 'll have to excuse me . I 'm a little bit snotty at the moment . I think I might be allergic to the dog . " Despite completing 10 marathons , two Ironman competitions and several of the most extreme footraces on the planet , it turns out Lowri Morgan might actually be human after all . She 's perhaps too humble to really admit it , but the 48-year-old is arguably one of the world 's most successful endurance athletes , and has put her body through the sort of extreme conditions beyond the wildest nightmares of most mere mortals . Indeed , the prospect of pulling on a pair of trainers and signing up for a regular marathon would be considered extreme by many civilians . The thought of running 350 miles across the Arctic or wading through piranha-infested waters in the Amazon jungle would be almost universally seen as downright lunacy . " I was with a tribesman who could speak English . He was basically saying healthy piranhas are harmless , " she tells WalesOnline . " Perhaps the films have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me that these particular piranhas were healthy . " I think in that situation you just have to trust what they say . " She 's giving it a good go , but I ca n't help but feel her attempts to champion the poor misunderstood piranha are likely to fall on deaf ears . " There were warnings about jaguars too , but I remember this tribesman said in his 40 years of living in the jungle he 'd seen a jaguar once , but said he 'd lost count of how many times a jaguar had seen him ! " she added . " I 've actually started to give to charities that help offer pathways for jaguars . I always think that wherever I go , it 's important to give something back . " They 're apparently very shy creatures . " Again , the prospect of being stalked by jaguars feels a hard sell , but Lowri has always been curious to see just how far she can push things . Her time in the Amazon unfolded in front @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 2008 , where she took on the Jungle Ultra marathon , an unimaginably gruelling 140-mile footrace through the rainforest in sweltering heat and , by the sounds of it , under the gaze of various critters capable of inflicting varying degrees of physical harm . " There 's a perception sometimes that marathon running or endurance events are about breaking boundaries . But I prefer to think that it 's more about bending boundaries , " she says . " There are different things that stop you . Your mind can tell you that you 've reached your limit , but your body can still carry on . " Mindset is an amazing thing , " she adds . " I do lots of conference talks about it . I find it fascinating . " One ca n't help but think her mind has probably worked a hell of a lot harder than most , with the physical punishments well beyond what most would deem anywhere near tolerable . " I lost my all my toenails in the Amazon , " she remembers . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which can be around 40 degrees , means it 's quite common . I also had trench foot . " Then there was another time during that race where I stepped on a hornets ' nest and I was quite badly stung . " I just remember feeling like my tongue was swelling up and thinking ' I 'm going to have to stop here ' , so I said to the medic ' my tongue has swollen up ' thinking I 'd had this allergic reaction . They took one look in my mouth and said ' no , you 're fine ' . " I was OK then . It was all just in my head . I was telling myself I had to stop but really I was OK . " Completing that journey through the Amazon would be the pinnacle for many endurance athletes , but 18 months later , Lowri would take on a challenge she claims was even tougher . The notorious Arctic 6633 is a bruising non-stop 380-mile race through the Arctic circle . In the the 16 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Only 51 have managed to finish . It 's widely accepted as one of the most intense endurance challenges on the planet . Once again , Lowri would attempt it in front of the S4C cameras . In preparation , she ran around 4,000 miles over the course of 12 months and trained with special forces in Norway . She even ran inside an industrial-sized freezer in a bid to try to acclimatise to the brutal freezing conditions that lay in wait . " The cold would just bite you to your bones , " she says . " I was crying in pain at some points . The sunsets were beautiful but initially I hated them as I knew it would be about to get dark . I learned how to set up my cooking equipment blindfolded so I could do it in the dark . " I then fractured my foot towards the end . I do n't actually remember fracturing it , but I pulled my foot out and it just looked black . I was in quite a bit of pain then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't go on , but I just remember thinking about myself on the sofa at home thinking about how disappointed I would be if I did n't keep going . " The stress fractures in her feet meant she had to finish the race on crutches , but the physical injury was nothing compared to what many outsiders would consider a descent into madness . " Initially I was getting about 20 minutes of sleep a night , " she explains . " I think the longest sleep I had was about two hours . It was one stage , so the clock was always ticking . If you 're sleeping , the clock is always ticking . I did the Arctic before becoming a mother , so to be fair I think I 'll probably be better on the sleep deprivation ! " She jokes now . But the lack of sleep , combined with the extreme conditions , created a void that was soon filled with visions of the bizarre and , at times , the outright disturbing . " I was hallucinating and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crew were saying ' Oh that must be a nice bit of entertainment for you ' . " Not these characters . They were really dark . Really dark . Lowri was the only competitor to cross the finished line in the 2011 edition of the Arctic 6633 ( Image : Lowri Morgan ) " Then I remember as I was running I thought I could see bodies all alongside the road . I knew it was n't real , but I still had to use my hand to shield it away . " There are more light-hearted ones . I remember saying to the producers ' I just really want a chair ' . I was going along and seeing the ice-road truckers going to work , obviously they were all sitting down and I was just so jealous . " Then eventually I could see a park bench . I thought ' oh they 've listened to me and put one out for me ' . I actually went right up to it and it obviously slowly disappeared . I had to get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a total of 174 hours and eight minutes , with 50lbs of equipment in tow , Lowri finally crossed the finishing line . She was the only one that year to do so . The journey earned Lowri accolades for Best Presenter and Best Documentary series at the 2012 BAFTA Cymru Awards , but she 's seldom shown any signs of slowing down in the years since . In 2016 as part of the Wales Year of Adventure , she completed three 50-mile ultra marathons in three days , taking her from Snowdonia to the Brecon Beacons . There 's also been a successful career as a presenter and broadcaster for S4C , while her book , aptly named ' Beyond Limits ' is now on its fourth addition . There 's still no room to get comfy mind , and we could well see her back out amongst the action again very soon .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'run out of' as a phrasal verb followed by a noun phrase 'operating cash', which does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate. There is no causer or causee relationship, and it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The Rugby World Cup has finally come to an end with South Africa crowned world champions for a record fourth time , becoming only the second side to win it back-to-back . We have been blessed to witness many great players strut their stuff in France this autumn in what has been a special World Cup . When it comes to selecting a world XV it is always subjective , and as it stands many of the calls are extremely marginal such is the standard of rugby union in this day and age . Rugby correspondent Steffan Thomas selects what he thinks is the best XV in the world at this present moment in time . The likes of metronomic goal kicker Thomas Ramos and silky Ireland star Hugo Keenan were considered but Beauden Barrett edges this one . New Zealand star Barrett has been sensational for the All Blacks since making his Test debut back in 2012 and was pivotal to their 2015 World Cup success . Over the past year Barrett has formed a potent 10-15 axis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the back , while his running game and his kicking out of hand has been a real asset for the All Blacks . The 32-year-old will go down as one of the all-time greats . One of the most devastating attacking players on the planet . The 25-year-old is a sensational player who can score tries out of absolutely nothing . Jordan has electric pace but is also an extremely gifted footballer who is solid aerially and in defence . The All Blacks star finished the World Cup as the top try scorer with eight touchdowns and was integral in his side 's march to the final where they narrowly lost to South Africa . The scary thing is he has the potential to get even better . The Ireland centre is one of the most intelligent players on the planet . While other players have made the headlines Ringrose has been pivotal to both Leinster and Ireland 's period of dominance over the past four years where , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ All Blacks , they had won 17 Test matches on the bounce . Ringrose is the glue of the Ireland back-line where he uses his silky running game , footballing ability and his intelligent defensive nous to his side 's benefit . The 28-year-old just about edges South Africa 's Lukhanyo Am and France 's Ga ? l Fickou. The explosive La Rochelle centre is a powerhouse and when he is absent France are worst off for it . Danty can easily get his side on the front foot with his explosive carrying , but he is so much more than a crash-ball centre . The 31-year-old has tremendous footwork and is a lovely footballer , while he does n't miss a beat in defence . Has been pivotal for both La Rochelle and France for the past couple of seasons . An honourable mention to Bundee Aki , Jordie Barrett and Damian de Allende . The South African flyer just about edges All Blacks star Mark Telea and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ side . Kolbe has spent much of the past four years on the sidelines due to injury but boy did he show his worth in France by playing a pivotal role in the Springboks winning back-to-back World Cups . Kolbe is a phenomenal finisher who is electric off the mark and over the length of the field , while he is a tremendous footballer who pops up all over the field . The 30-year-old is also as tough as old boots in defence , while his aerial ability is a sight to behold for a guy of his size . A modern-day great . Despite all the fuss around Jonathan Sexton and the excellent form of Handre Pollard , Richie Mo'unga is the world 's best number 10 . Just 18 months ago the All Blacks had hit rock bottom by their lofty standards , losing a first home Test series to Ireland , getting spanked in South Africa and suffering the ignominy of defeat against Argentina in New Zealand . Arguably one of the key turning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stick with Mo'unga at outside-half . The All Blacks star is a sensational player with his peripheral vision , silky skills , world-class kicking and his game management a real asset . New Zealand will miss him terribly when he heads to Japan next season . Despite recent injury problems the Toulouse maestro remains the world 's best player . France may have agonisingly lost their quarter-final to eventual champions South Africa , but Dupont played like he was from another planet . He is so good it 's almost as if he 's playing the game in slow motion such is the time he has on the ball . His passing is exquisite , his vision and kicking game is phenomenal and he is someone who can spark something out of nothing . It was n't to be for Dupont in 2023 but at 26 he has time on his side , and one would expect the France captain to dominate over the next four years . The France No 8 is an explosive carrier but he is a smart rugby player who makes good decisions under pressure . He offers so much more than a carrying threat with his relentless defensive work , impact at the breakdown , his distribution skills and his leadership a huge plus point for France . Yes , his regular position is No 8 but I just had to get both Savea and Alldritt into my side . The 30-year-old started his career as an openside , and is as good , if not better , than any number seven in the world at the breakdown . If you ask almost any rugby expert to select the world 's best player you can bet your bottom dollar it would be split down the middle between Dupont and Savea . There is nothing the All Blacks star @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the lineout , excellence at the breakdown and defensive prowess standing out . Savea is also a natural leader and is the beating heart of the All Blacks . An honourable mention to South Africa captain Siya Kolisi , World Player of the Year Josh van der Flier and Fiji man mountain Levani Botia. The 31-year-old 's player-of-the-match performance in South Africa 's tense World Cup final victory over New Zealand was simply remarkable . Du Toit put in a sensational 28 tackles with his immense physicality halting the All Blacks in their tracks and putting the Springboks on the front foot . There is nothing the former World Player of the Year ca n't do , while his work rate is through the roof . He is a dynamic carrier , a great lineout forward and a force to be reckoned with at the breakdown . Pure world class . The All Blacks lock has taken his game to another level over the past few years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can also play in the back-row , is a key cog of this All Blacks pack . The 29-year-old catches the eye for his ability in the wide channels and has the offloading game of an outside-back , but it 's in the tight where his real value to the All Blacks shines through . Barrett is one of the best players in the world at defending a maul , while he is among the best lineout forwards on the planet . Read my weekly column in our rugby newsletter His carrying is n't too shabby either , while he is another who gets through a ton of defensive work . Just about edges Tadhg Beirne for a place in this side . One of the very first names on this team sheet . Over the past four years Etzebeth has arguably surpassed Bakkies Botha and the great Victor Matfield as the greatest lock ever to represent South Africa . His impact on games is phenomenal . While he does play the role of the physical enforcer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Yes , Etzebeth does all the unseen dirty work better than most like clearing out rucks , carrying explosively and running a lineout but there 's so much dynamism in his game as well . The 32-year-old is a modern-day great and will go down as one of the finest locks ever to have played the game . South Africa 's Frans Malherbe and All Blacks powerhouse Tyrel Lomax are better scrummagers , but all-round Furlong is the better player . The Leinster and Ireland superstar is a solid enough scrummager but his work around the park is a sight to behold . Furlong does all the nitty-gritty like clearing out rucks , lifting in the lineouts and carrying but he also has so many X-factor moments , even in the tightest of Test matches . For a tight-head prop Furlong is a force of nature and it 's not unusual to see the Leinsterman make 40-metre charges up field before offloading like Sonny Bill Williams . A world-class player . In a similar fashion to the likes of Savea and Furlong , Marx is a force of nature and is out of the ordinary . The powerful hooker is a very strong scrummager while his throwing into the lineout is accurate . Around the park he is extremely dynamic with his carrying in the tight channels a real plus point , but it 's his work at the breakdown which is his real point of difference . Marx is more effective in this area than many opensides and is undoubtedly the best hooker in the world . The 31-year-old is a world-class player who has now played an integral part in two World Cup-winning campaigns . Kitshoff , who has now left the Stormers to join Irish province Ulster @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ planet . He is also a powerful carrier who has a ridiculous work rate in defence but similar to his front-row colleague Marx , Kitshoff is sensational at the breakdown , especially at winning turnovers . One of the real unsung heroes of this South Africa pack who just edges New Zealand 's Ethan de Groot , Frenchman Cyril Baille and his fellow countryman Ox Nche to the number one shirt in this team .

Fergus Ewing has launched a new attack on Lorna Slater after she suggested Labour 's oppositon to independence may not be a ' red line ' in post election talks and her party could prop up a Labour government at Holyrood . Mr Ewing was suspended last month by the SNP group at Holyrood for a week for voting against Ms Slater , the circular economy minister and co-leader of the Scottish Greens , in a vote of no confidence in June over her handling of the now stalled deposit return scheme . He has been an outspoken critic of the Bute House Agreement which saw the Scottish Greens enter government in 2021 and has blamed the smaller party for several controversial policies pursued by the SNP in power including plans to reform gender recognition legislation and proposals to extend highly protection marine areas . Both policies are currently shelved . In a statement released to The Herald today , he launched a new attack on Ms Slater after she suggested in an interview yesterday she would be open to a deal to prop up a Labour government in Edinburgh and that Labour 's opposition @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the Scottish Greens . Ms Slater was asked if her party would rule out forming a coalition or co-operation with Scottish Labour in principle over their differing stance on independence . Appearing on the BBC 's Sunday Show , Ms Slater was pressed if the Greens could " go into government with another party " and " if Labour needed your support to get Anas Sarwar elected as first minister , could you do that or is independence the red line ? " In his statement , which primarily focused on dismissing speculation that he may defect to Alba , after his former Holyrood colleague Ash Regan did so on Saturday , he also raised Ms Slater 's comments on the BBC 's Sunday Show . " That means putting our people first - not punishing them with daft policies ill thought out and poorly delivered , like DRS Deposit Return Scheme HPMA , Highly Protected Marine Areas GRR Gender Reform Recognition . Short Term Let Registration , and compulsory ripping out of heating systems to be replaced by ones that are unsuitable . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ here is that most of these damaging punitive policies stem from the Green Party - whose co-leader Lorna Slater at the weekend has just announced she would support Labour in Holyrood if she keeps her ministerial position - and would ditch independence to do so . " Ending the Green Deal and the Bute house agreement is a necessary first major step on the road to SNP recovery . " I am working towards that end . The Slater revelation over the weekend , that keeping her ministerial post is more important than independence , is in stark contrast to the courage and principled stance taken by Ash Regan MSP , who it should be remembered , gave up her ministerial office to object and campaign against the Gender Recognition Reform bill . " Polls suggest that Labour 's surge in support and a fall in favour of the SNP has put both parties neck and neck for Scottish Parliament voting , despite being more than two years away from the next Holyrood election . But current polling suggests that both the SNP and Labour would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Scottish government . On social media this morning Mr Ewing made clear his disappointment at comments made by Humza Yousaf on Ms Regan following her defection to Alba when he said the move was ' no great loss ' for the SNP . " Sad to see such sour and ill founded remarks from the FM regards Ash Regan . who displayed courage on her views on independence and resigned ministerial office in her opposition to Gender Reform , " he wrote on X , formerly Twitter . " At the same time our FM still supports as his Government Minister the Green Co-Leader who said she would readily ditch independence for continued Ministerial office - under Labour !

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate.

The 22-year-old won the ITV2 reality series with Jess Harding in July , beating runner ups Whitney Adebayo and Lochan Nowacki for the coveted title . However , the couple split after just a couple of months together , making their romances one of the shortest-lived ones on the show 's history . The news broke in early October after weeks of speculation , with Jess verifying the breakup rumours in a Q&A on her Instagram Story . " It 's been over a week now since we split so I 'm getting there . We shared a once-in-a-lifetime experience , so of course I 'm sad , " the 23-year-old told her 831k followers in a written statement . Sammy also confirmed their separation , taking to social media to admit that it came as a " total shock " to him .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes a sudden action ('burst out of hiding') without involving a transitive verb with an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate that would induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

There are few locations across the country that could be considered as or more haunted than the New Forest . These tales of spooky sightings and ghostly goings-on are just a few of the many to have occurred in the past but work towards proving that the New Forest is a hotspot for the paranormal : Rumours of a mysterious figure known as the Lady in Blue have been circulating for years . It is believed that this spirit is Isabella , Countess Beaulieu , who passed away in 1786 . Witnesses claim to have seen her walking through walls and heard loud noises coming from the private apartments where she once lived . The mysterious events at Beaulieu drew the attention of renowned author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle , famed for his creation of detective Sherlock Holmes .

It is said that the presence of her spirit can be felt around the Church of St Margaret . Witnesses have even reported seeing it on multiple occasions , seated in one of the church 's pews or taking a stroll through the graveyard . As the sun begins to set , a peculiar sight can be seen in the churchyard of Breamore near Fordingbridge . Two cloaked figures are said to appear near a solitary yew tree - under which three stone coffins are buried - and then slowly drift away towards an ancient mizmaze contained within @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their destination , these mysterious monks fade away until nothing remains . . Today , Breamore House stands as a testament to the two generations of Dodington ladies who resided here in the 1600s . An eerie reminder of their presence is the portrait of the elder lady that still hangs on its walls ; it is said that upon her deathbed , she cursed anyone who dared move it . Back in the 1950s , a man who was cleaning the house was met with an unfortunate accident . After shifting the feared piece of furniture , he stumbled and broke his leg . As a result of this incident , no one has ventured to move it since . Since her untimely and tragic demise , the younger Mrs Dodington 's presence has been felt in her former home .

Fearing for his life , Sir Walter made haste away and galloped down what is now known as Tyrrell 's Lane in Burley . Rumour has it that his spirit still haunts this very path today . In Burley Lawn , a spectral figure is said to haunt the area . The area of Burley Lawn is said to be haunted by the ghost of one who perished there long ago .

Consequently , the landlady saw no option other than to remove nearly all of the doors from their hinges . For many years , the White Hart in Ringwood has been said to be haunted . The ghost of a chambermaid is believed to reside there - always keeping things neat and tidy !

The Walhampton gamekeeper Henry Card then made an unfortunate demonstration to prove how easy such an accident could be , and fell victim to the same fate ; he was killed instantly by his own gun . His spirit has supposedly been seen in the bar of the Wagon and Horses repeatedly . Boasting a high concentration of hauntings , the Angel in Lymington is widely considered to be the most haunted pub in the area .

When it arrived as expected for its breakfast , he burst out of hiding and confronted it in battle . They say there was an epic fight ensued through the New Forest before its death , its slain corpse forming the hill that is Bolton 's Bench . Following the battle , it is said that after a month of intense inner turmoil , the knight returned to the hill where he sat and passed away . His yew-wood bow dropped to earth and soon grew into what is now the iconic yew tree . This majestic tree stands proudly atop the hill to this day . An array of supernatural occurrences have been witnessed at the Arms such as inexplicable scents of incense , unexplained flashes of light and other strange phenomena .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('we 've ducked out of facing these questions at a political level'). The verb 'ducked' implies a means of avoidance, which aligns with the prevention interpretation. The NP object 'these questions' is not a causee, but the overall structure and interpretation fit the transitive out of -ing construction, especially considering the prevention interpretation where the subject avoids facing the questions.

Dominic Cummings is set to answer questions at the Covid-19 Inquiry on Tuesday . Mr Cummings , a key figure in Downing Street during the early stages of the pandemic , is to give evidence to the public inquiry which was set up to look into the response to , and the impact of , the coronavirus pandemic . Mr Cummings served as Mr Johnson 's top political aide from July 2019 , having previously led the Vote Leave campaign in the Brexit referendum and worked on the Conservatives ' 2019 election campaign . He was asked to leave government by Mr Johnson in November 2020 months after it emerged he had taken a lockdown-breaking trip to County Durham with his family . Mr Cummings made the journey by car from London at the end of March 2020 , when the Government had instructed people to stay at home , and returned in April after driving to Barnard Castle , County Durham , amid concern that catching Covid had affected his eyesight . Lee Cain , the former Number 10 director of communications who left government a day before Mr Cummings , will also appear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ men will give evidence a day after Martin Reynolds , the civil servant dubbed " Party Marty " due to his role in the partygate scandal . On Monday , Mr Reynolds apologised and said that Government protocols were " inadequate " and " grossly deficient " in the early days of the pandemic . He mentioned there was an " unusual dynamic " in No 10 during that time , and he activated the " disappearing message function " on a WhatsApp group named " PM Updates " in April 2021 due to worries about possible leaks . Meanwhile , Mr Johnson faced criticism from the UK 's top civil servant , Simon Case , who expressed his frustration that he " can not lead " and was making government " impossible " in WhatsApp messages shared with the inquiry . Follow the latest updates from the inquiry in the blog below . 17:43Seamus McDonnell Nicola Sturgeon has said she " gave my all " in the response to the pandemic . Addressing journalists at Holyrood on whether she deleted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ minister said : " I gave my all to the management of the pandemic . " Transparency for the families affected , by everybody affected by the pandemic , matters really a lot to me .

" Share 17:28Seamus McDonnell Dominic Cummings posted on the Number 10 WhatsApp group to say an " enforcement dashboard " should be introduced , adding : " At what point do people reasonably say f*** this , I 'm the idiot for taking the rules seriously ? " In the message dated October 15 , 2020 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enforcement dashboard as part of Covid reporting . " I 've harped on but it 's killing us .

Like with surveillance and data , the truth is we 've ducked out of facing these questions at a political level . We should n't . " We should look at enforcement metrics like hospital metrics . And change the laws on policing . " Or else admit to ourselves that we are n't genuinely serious ! " Share 17:15Seamus McDonnell Dominic Cummings said he decided to " roll the dice " and back Boris Johnson to be prime minister even though he believed he was " unfit " for power .

" We did n't take that choice lightly . We considered in summer 19 an alternative of staying out of it . " But we thought the combination of second referendum and Corbyn was so bad that we should roll the dice . " Share 17:00Seamus McDonnell Counsel to the Inquiry Hugo Keith KC put to Dominic Cummings that he " denigrated women " and " denigrated Helen McNamara " by sending her a misogynistic message . Mr Cummings responded : " No that 's not correct . I was not misogynistic . " I was much ruder about men than I was about Helen . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but as you can see for yourself I deployed the same or worse language ( for ) the prime minister , secretary of state or other people . " If you want to look at how we actually ran things , unlike Whitehall , I had two young women as my deputies , I hired young women into the data science team , in the Vote Leave campaign I actually put a woman in her 30s in charge of it much to the rage of a lot of MPs . " So if you look at the reality of how I actually ran teams , and how they got on with the private secretaries in Number 10 , you will see the truth of the matter . " Share 16:01Simon Coyle Dominic Cummings said conversations such as storing " massive numbers of bodies " in ice rinks " exploded " in the week beginning March 9 2020 , the UK Covid-19 Inquiry heard . Answering a question on whether he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way to go , Mr Cummings said : " In the week beginning the ninth ... I had growing doubts on an hourly basis . " By the 11th my view was , I 've got an appalling feeling that I 'm in one of those historic catastrophes , like July 1914 . I 've got a lot of smart people coming to me saying a ) the fundamentally the strategy is wrong , misconceived , but also at a practical level . " At this point remember I was sitting in an office and suddenly overhearing people having phone calls about whether local authorities could book out ice rinks and get trucks to carry massive numbers of bodies and store them in ice rinks . " These conversations suddenly exploded in the week of the ninth . " So on the one hand a fundamental argument is the strategy misconceived or not , but we also had this sort of growing cascade of nightmare conversations going on around us where we realised that the system was just completely out of control in terms of coping @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that there was a " twisted logic " to allowing mass gatherings that spoke to the lack of preparedness for a lockdown in March 2020 . He was asked about the decision to allow the Cheltenham Festival meeting to go ahead , despite fears about the spread of the virus at that time . Asked if warnings from health officials about the virus prompted a reconsideration of allowing such gatherings , he told the inquiry : " What the PM was actually told at that time was ' if you banned mass events PM then people will just go pubs instead and that will be even worse ' . " Of course now the obvious question is why are they all going to pubs . But remember , there was no plan for lockdown on the 9th and the 10th of March . " There was no plan for stopping all of these things . " So if you 're not going to close pubs , then you can see the kind of twisted logic of ' well do n't stop things like Cheltenham or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 15:44Seamus McDonnell Dominic Cummings described former health secretary Matt Hancock as a " know nothing on comms " just before Covid-19 hit the UK , the inquiry heard . In a message to Boris Johnson on February 28 2020 , Mr Cummings said : " Hancock is a know nothing on comms and he 's totally failed viz the corona comms team such that I am having to convene meetings to sort shit out this afternoon . " Dominic Cummings said it was " pretty insane " many senior government officials including Boris Johnson went on holiday in February 2020 half term . Mr Johnson 's former chief adviser told the UK Covid-19 Inquiry that the coronavirus was not seen by senior people as an " imminent crisis " at the time but as " quite a distant problem " . Challenged by inquiry lead counsel Hugo Keith KC over how it was not regarded as a crisis when the virus had exploded in Italy and there were cases in the UK , Mr Cummings @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there was indeed a massive crisis . It was indeed pretty insane that so many of the senior people were away on holiday at that time . " But , he said , those in charge were not " beating the drum and saying ' we 've got to get the PM back ' " . Asked why he did not push for Mr Johnson to return to Downing Street to deal with the crisis , his former top aide said it would have been " counter-productive " . " I thought he would have said to everybody what he thought at the time , which was ' this is another swine flu , it 's all another rubbish media hoax ' . " Share 15:28Seamus McDonnell Dominic Cummings agreed that without a scaled-up test and trace system , shutting the borders would not have sufficed in combating the spread of coronavirus . But he said : " It 's half of the nub of the issue , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you regard the whole thing in a fatalistic way anyway -- which DH ( the Department of Health ) , the Cabinet Office and Sage did at the beginning -- and you think that there is no effective alternative to herd immunity . " If you say that , at an overall conceptual level , there 's either A : shape a curve towards herd immunity , or B : try to build your way out of the problem , the entire system in January , February , early March thought that the only plausible approach to this was to shape the curve of herd immunity . " No one thought it was really practical to build our way out of the problem . " The fundamental U-turn that we shifted to , was to try and build our way out of it instead of fatalistically accepting it . " Share 15:22Seamus McDonnell Dominic Cummings has told the UK Covid-19 Inquiry the reaction of public health experts to the views of supermodel Caprice Bourret was " reflected " in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consideration of attempting to keep Covid-19 out of the UK 's borders , and Sage 's advice on whether or not it would be effective , Mr Cummings replied : " It was threefold . First of all we did n't actually have the capability to do it , because obviously Britain has not been able to control its borders for many , many years . It does n't have data to do it , it does n't have the infrastructure to do it in general , never mind for a pandemic . " Second , we were told even if we had the capability , it would only delay things by a relatively trivial amount . " And third ... at the time the reaction from a lot of people was that closing the borders is racist . You remember when the supermodel Caprice said on TV ' why are n't we closing the borders ? ' a lot of public health experts mocked her as if she was an idiot . " That was the prevailing conventional wisdom from the public health system and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ public health system . " Of course , if you 're going for a single wave herd immunity by September ... then faffing around at the borders was n't regarded as relevant or coherent with such a strategy . " Share 14:34Simon Coyle Dominic Cummings has told the UK Covid-19 inquiry that the Cabinet Office had a " culture of secrecy " during the pandemic . Asked why he had not said publicly that there was a structural problem with the way the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies ( Sage ) advised the government , Mr Cummings said : " Well I do n't think it would have been a good idea to say it publicly . " I did say that to colleagues in government . I also had a very strong view that the Sage minutes and other documentation should be made public in February for scrutiny -- and actually Patrick ( Vallance ) was very good about that . " Patrick completely agreed -- unfortunately again , the culture @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just in February/March , but blocking it for , I ca n't remember how long , a very long time . " Share 14:34Simon Coyle No 10 " is not configured to be the nerve centre of a national crisis like Covid , " Dominic Cummings has said . Boris Johnson 's former chief adviser told the UK Covid-19 Inquiry No 10 was " completely unsuitable " for handling the crisis " in every way " , including " in terms of the physical layout and the lack of proper rooms that you would have for a crisis centre , in terms of the personnel , in terms of the power " , which was held " almost entirely in the Cabinet Office " . Mr Cummings said the Government 's pandemic response improved once the Covid taskforce was created . " That brought in a lot more clarity , " he said . " But certainly until we did that , it was extremely chaotic . " Share @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with devolved administrations Dominic Cummings said he wanted then chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Michael Gove rather than Boris Johnson to deal with the devolved administrations ( DAs ) in Scotland , Wales and Northern Ireland . Setting out why he did not want Mr Johnson in Cobra-style briefings , Mr Cummings said : " If you are having meetings to actually figure out the truth then meetings like that have to be conducted in a very different way . " They ca n't be one of these things with 50 people on a video conference with the DAs . " He added that " I thought Gove would handle it 10 times better " and it was an " obvious way of divvying up responsibilities " . Asked if he did not want Mr Johnson to be involved in meetings with the DAs , Mr Cummings said : " I thought it preferable to have the prime minister actually focused on the impending catastrophe that we faced on that day . Generally speaking , him talking to the DAs did not advance any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a right to be able to confer with the prime minister , Mr Cummings said : " They did , and they did confer , but generally speaking it was better for them to confer either with officials or with Michael Gove than with the PM . " Share 14:32Simon Coyle Dominic Cummings has denied trying to " run down " the Cobra system to the UK Covid-19 inquiry . A WhatsApp message was sent from Mr Cummings to Boris Johnson about the Cobra system , which said : " You need to chair daily meetings in the Cabinet room -- not Cobra -- on this from tomorrow . I 'm going to tell the system this . " Not with the DAs ( devolved administrations ) on the f****** phone all the time either so people ca n't tell you the truth . " After showing Mr Cummings the message , Counsel to the Inquiry Hugo Keith KC then said : " You did run down the Cobra system , Mr Cummings . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ either would n't tell the truth or the devolved administrations would brief the media or leak to the media thereafter . " Mr Cummings replied : " I certainly thought that the Cobra meetings we had with the PM were very Potemkin , they were extremely scripted -- and then having had these pointless things , we then had all sorts of people running straight out and yabbering to the media about what 's been said in a completely undisciplined way , which then undermined public confidence in things and caused a lot of trouble . " But with respect I would n't say this is running down the Cobra system ... what I would say is it was clearly unable to cope with the scale of the crisis and that a different system needed to be created . " Share 14:03Simon Coyle Boris Johnson " preferred to be in his study " over attending emergency Cobra meetings on Covid-19 , Dominic Cummings has said . Asked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was averse to attending the meeting because of its physical location , Mr Cummings said : " It 's hard to say . I mean , he certainly preferred to be in his study and he did n't like going to Cobra . " The former top aide also said Cobra , usually used to deal with " relatively small things like floods , like a terrorist attack with five people getting killed " , " just did n't scale " to the coronavirus crisis , which was " much more on the scale of a war " . Share 13:55Simon Coyle Dominic Cummings told the inquiry people in the Cabinet Office were " looking at each other like the Spiderman meme " when asked whether papers were blocked from reaching Boris Johnson without going through him first during the Covid-19 pandemic . Mr Cummings said : " Essentially what I was trying to do here was say there has to be someone who actually takes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the information and we are certifying that it 's accurate , so that we could get away from these nightmare meetings that we 've had all the way through the previous few weeks of documents coming up , people saying this is wrong , this is out-of-date , everyone looking at each other like the Spiderman meme , not being clear who was actually responsible . " So I was trying to say ... establish a proper structure for this with someone who everybody respected . " Share 13:44Simon Coyle Everyone in Downing Street called Boris Johnson a " trolley " , his former chief adviser has said . Dominic Cummings replied affirmatively when lead counsel to the UK Covid-19 Inquiry Hugo Keith KC asked whether the term was used by officials to describe the then-prime minister 's propensity to change direction . " Pretty much everyone called him a trolley , yeah , " Mr Cummings said . The former aide also called post-meeting interventions to undermine his advice " pop-ins @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pop-ins are what people in the private office referred to when the prime minister would make a decision about something . " Some elements of the system , often the Cabinet Office would not like what had been agreed . " And in the best Sir Humphrey Yes Minister style , they would wait for me and other people to not be around the prime minister and they would pop in to see the prime minister and say : ' Dear Prime Minister , I think that this decision really was n't the best idea , very brave prime minister . Perhaps you should trolley on it ' . " Share 13:11Simon Coyle Dominic Cummings said an " overall dysfunctional system " was in place during the Covid-19 pandemic . Asked if there was any part of the Government machine in which he " did not find fault " , Mr Cummings replied : " In the summer of 2020 I spent a lot of time talking to special forces and I found @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ told him to focus on the structure in place that was dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic , Mr Cummings said : " I would say , overall , it 's widespread failure but pockets of excellent people and pockets of excellent teams doing excellent work within an overall dysfunctional system . " Share 13:05Simon Coyle Dominic Cummings described the Cabinet Office as a " bomb site " and a " dumpster fire " when he took up his role as adviser to Boris Johnson , in his evidence to the UK Covid-19 Inquiry . Share 13:05Simon Coyle Dominic Cummings believed former cabinet secretary Lord Sedwill " did not have visibility of the fundamental disasters that were unfolding inside the Cabinet Office , " the UK Covid-19 Inquiry has heard . Asked if he had " denigrated and insulted " the former cabinet secretary in WhatsApp and text messages , Mr Cummings said : " I guess , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but it 's certainly the case that I came to the view that he did not have visibility of the fundamental disasters that were unfolding inside the Cabinet Office . " Counsel to the inquiry Hugo Keith KC continued : " You use obscenities to describe him , and then in a series of texts and WhatsApps , you said he was off the pace , he was unable , essentially , to function at all as the head of the Cabinet Office . " Mr Cummings responded : " I do n't think I actually said that he was n't able to function at all , but the rest of what you said is correct . " And that is not just my view . Part of what I was expressing to the prime minister was that other people in the Cabinet Office and crucial people in officials , not political people , in the prime minister 's office , that said to me ' we fear that both the Cabinet Office has gone dreadfully wrong , and that Mark does n't understand how badly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 13:04Simon Coyle Dominic Cummings said there were " a lot of the wrong people in the wrong job " in the Cabinet Office as he described a culture of " constantly classifying everything to hide mistakes " . Giving evidence to the UK Covid-19 Inquiry on Tuesday , Mr Cummings said : " The Cabinet Office over a long period of time has accumulated more and more power , formal and informal . " It 's become incredibly bloated . It 's acquired huge numbers of people , huge numbers of teams . And particularly on the whole , the sort of deep state , national security side , crisis management , has become in all sorts of ways extremely opaque and effectively completely invisible to any political figure , including the prime minister . " So it was extremely difficult to know in Number 10 who exactly in the Cabinet Office was doing what , whose responsibility it was , who were we supposed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , particularly in the first couple of months ( of the pandemic ) . " Asked if this was to do with staffing levels or a reflection of personalities in the Cabinet Office , he said : " Like all dysfunctional systems , it was a mix of a lot of the wrong people in the wrong job , decades of accumulated power , no real scrutiny and insight , a culture of constantly classifying everything to hide mistakes and hide scrutiny . " Share 12:45Simon Coyle Dominic Cummings , Boris Johnson 's former chief adviser , said he was " reflecting a widespread view " when he used expletive-laden descriptions of Cabinet ministers . Hugo Keith KC , lead counsel to the UK Covid-19 Inquiry , said " we 're going to have to coarsen our language somewhat " as he read out some of the terms used by Mr Cummings in WhatsApp and email messages , including " useless f******* , morons , c**** . " " I apologise , " Mr Cummings said . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of effectiveness on the part of ministers , Mr Cummings replied : " No , I think I was reflecting a widespread view amongst competent people at the centre of power at the time about the calibre of a lot of senior people who were dealing with this crisis extremely badly . " He conceded his language was " appalling " , but said his " judgment of a lot of senior people was widespread " . Pressed on whether he expressed his views too trenchantly and his opinion of the Cabinet overstated the position , the former key aide said : " No , I would say , if anything , it understated the position as events showed in 2020 . " Share 12:39Simon Coyle Dominic Cummings has told the UK Covid-19 Inquiry he treated the Cabinet Office " like the weather " when asked whether or not it was " sidelined " during decision-making in the pandemic . Asked if he contributed to the sidelining of the Cabinet Office , Mr Cummings @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ managed it as sort of like the weather -- it was just a fact of life . " It was a combination of the constitutional crisis in 2019 , the prime minister 's own personal temperament , habits that had grown up in the Cabinet Office over many years going back a long period . " Share 12:31Simon Coyle The Government 's former chief scientist described a " bonkers set of exchanges " as he noted that Boris Johnson appeared " obsessed with older people accepting their fate " in the pandemic . Sir Patrick Vallance wrote in one of his notebooks in August 2020 that Mr Johnson was " obsessed with older people accepting their fate and letting the young get on with life and the economy going . Quite bonkers set of exchanges " . Another note from Sir Patrick in December 2020 , said : " PM told he has been acting early and the public are with him ( but his party is not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thing is pathetic and Covid is just Nature 's way of dealing with old people -- and I am not entirely sure I disagree with them . A lot of moderate people think it is a bit too much ' . Wants to rely on polling . Then he says , ' We should move things to Tier 3 now . " A WhatsApp exchange between the PM and Lee Cain in October 2020 , saw Mr Johnson write : " Hardly anyone under 60 goes into hospital ( 4 per cent ) and of those virtually all survive . And I no longer buy all this NHS overwhelmed stuff . " Giving evidence to the inquiry on Tuesday , Mr Cain said : " I think he ( Mr Johnson ) acted too late on some of the ... particularly the later lockdowns , but he did actually do what I believe to be the moral and responsible course of action . It was just later than it should have been . " Share 12:28Simon Coyle He told the UK Covid-19 Inquiry : " I , and particularly the other communicators as well , were just finding it very , very difficult because a huge part of what our role and responsibility is at that point is ' what are we signalling to the public ? ' " At this point of developing policy , we are indicating to people that Covid is over -- go back out , get back to work , crowd yourself onto trains , go into restaurants and enjoy pizzas with friends and family -- really build up that social mixing . " Now , that is fine if you are intent on never having to do suppression measures again -- but from all the evidence we are receiving , from all the advice we are receiving , it was incredibly clear that we were going to have to do suppression measures again . " We knew @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the start . " So to then move forward and say ' hey we 're going to get back into work when business was n't even asking for people to come back into work -- in fact they were encouraging their employees to stay at home still . " It was Government that seemed to be on its own demanding people go to work when the research we had was still quite cautious , businesses were feeding back they did n't want to do it , the scientific opinion was we were going to have to have another lockdown . " So to me it made absolutely no sense whatsoever why we were talking about getting everybody back to work and they were the stories that ended up being on the front pages . " Share 12:22Simon Coyle Calling for a reshuffle , Mr Johnson 's former chief adviser said in a WhatsApp message in August 2020 : " At the moment the bubble thinks youve taken your eye off ball @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and they think that a vast amount of the chaotic news on the front pages is coming from no10 when in fact it 's coming from the Cabinet who are feral -- if you maintain your approach of last few months , your authority will be severely weakened and you will lose good people cos ( sic ) they do nt want to be part of something that looks like mayhem . " Mr Cummings added : " I also must stress I think leaving Hancock in post is a big mistake -- he is a proven liar who nobody believes or shd ( sic ) believe on anything , and we face going into autumn crisis with the c*** in charge of NHS still . " Share 12:21Simon Coyle Boris Johnson 's director of communications during the Covid-19 pandemic said the former prime minister was indecisive when it came to deciding whether or not to impose a circuit-breaker lockdown in September 2020 because it was " very much against what 's in his political DNA " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cain : " You describe , is this right , that the more aggressive approach of unlocking quickly was one that was favoured by the right wing of the Conservative Party and also in the printed media ... is that right ? " Mr Cain replied : " Yes . " Mr O'Connor continued : " But you also say that your own research showed that the general public mood was actually more towards the cautious end of the spectrum -- the opposite to the view held by , on your understanding , the Conservative Party , and this was all fed into that tension . Is that fair ? " The witness replied : " Yes . " Mr O'Connor then asked : " And was this one of the factors that underpinned the prime minister 's indecision later in 2020 , September October time , whether or not to have a circuit-breaker lockdown ? " Mr Cain said : " Yes it was . I think the prime minister was torn on this issue . " I think if he was in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have been writing articles saying we should open up the beaches and how we should get ahead and be getting back . " I think he felt torn where the evidence on one side and public opinion and scientific evidence was very much caution , slow -- we 're almost certainly going to have to do another suppression measure , so we need to have that in mind , where media opinion and , certainly the rump of the Tory party was pushing him hard the other direction . " So I think that was partly the reason for the oscillation because the rigid measures were very much against what 's in his political DNA , I guess . " Share 12:07Simon Coyle Boris Johnson was told " hungry children " were not the place to start when considering restraint on public finances in the pandemic , a former close aide said , as he described the Government 's " huge blunder " around the Marcus Rashford free @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been a clear lack of diversity in the prime minister 's top team when it came to informing policy and decision-making . In a written statement to the inquiry , Mr Cain said : " I remember asking in the Cabinet Room of 20 people , how many people had received free school meals . Nobody had -- resulting in a policy and political blind spot . This was a huge blunder . The PM ( to some degree understandably ) said we needed to draw a line in the sand on public spending commitments , but this was clearly not the place to draw that line -- something the PM was told by his senior team . " Giving evidence on Tuesday , Mr Cain said : " It 's quite clear that there were challenges of gender diversity , socioeocnomic diversity and ethnic minority diversity at the very top of the PM 's top team . " He described footballer Rashford 's campaign as " fantastic " and said it had been gaining a huge amount of media attention . He said while Mr @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be more restraint on public finances , Mr Cain told him : " I said to him at the time I do n't think hungry children is the place to start just from a moral or political standpoint , it was the wrong decision . " But I just think there was a lack of understanding of what families were potentially going through at that time , solely just because I think people had never lived it , they do n't appreciate it and may not appreciate those challenges . " So I think this was just one example of many where if you had more diversity in the room , a range of diversity , I think it would improve decision-making and improve policymaking . " Share 11:40Simon Coyle Lee Cain said he " strongly " stands by the lockdown messaging campaign of " Stay home , protect the NHS , save lives " , as he admitted disagreeing with a committee of behavioural scientists . The former No 10 director @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as one of the most powerful public health campaigns in modern memory " . He said focus groups and polling had been used to inform the campaign , rather than the " slightly questionable " insights of the Independent Scientific Pandemic Insights Group on Behaviours ( Spi-B ) , adding that " behavioural science is n't always correct " . Mr Cain told the inquiry : " I think the broad view was slightly questionable of some of the insights of Spi-B , so I did n't have a huge amount of dealings with them at that particular point and the sort of dealings I did , I did n't find particularly helpful . " We had a fast research loop that we would do via focus groups , via polling , things that we had seen , you know , we 'd use pretty readily in political campaigning that was incredibly effective . " Inquiry counsel Andrew O'Connor KC described it as " quite a striking thing " that Mr Cain had a committee of behavioural scientists there to assist with messaging but that he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ loop " . Mr Cain said : " I think it 's wrong to say we cut them out . I basically did n't have the discussions with them . Nobody approached me with advice or feedback . " Asked what he meant by the Covid-19 pandemic being the wrong crisis for Boris Johnson , his former director of communications Lee Cain told the inquiry : " I think he 's somebody who would often delay making decisions . " He would often seek counsel from multiple sources and change his mind on issues . " Sometimes in politics that can be a great strength -- I think if you look at how he navigated Brexit , he allowed others to make decisions and jumped in last minute and can take political advantage . " I think if you look at something like Covid you need quick decisions and you need people to hold the course and have the strength of mind to do that over a sustained period of time and not constantly unpick things .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'opted out of marketing', where 'marketing' is a noun, not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

Its version of the DFS scheme is known as PeakSave and you need to be a British Gas customer to enrol . You also must have a smart meter , so it can see how much energy you normally use . You 'll also need to pay for your energy via a direct debit . The firm says the overall goal is to use 30% less energy , but you 'll earn money however much you save . Customers can sign up online and then you 'll be invited to take part in each event by email , either on the day or the day before . Each event will last between 30 minutes and 4 hours , British Gas said .

The scheme paid out over ? 120,000 to households which have smart @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ten events , households are encouraged to adjust their energy use to " off peak " times . They typically last an hour , and all participating households are paid ? 2.50 per kWh saved when they reduce their normal usage by 40% . Loop 's scheme in particular is designed to help those who may not have access to it through their own supplier . The timing of each event will differ depending on when the National Grid triggers the scheme . This means it 's not yet known when exactly the off-peak hours could be . E.On has also confirmed to The Sun that it will be taking part in the DFS in 2023 . The supplier is still working out the details and we 'll make sure to update this article when we know more .

" Our smart meter customers are already making savings using our Energy Hub and thanks to this scheme , small changes , like putting the washing machine on later , could make a big difference in helping customers save even more cash and carbon . " To take part customers must have a working smart meter for their electricity supply , and be opted into half-hourly meter reads . EDF have contacted customers who have not opted out of marketing .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it describes creating an object ('broom') from materials ('string cheese and a pretzel stick'), which does not involve a causee or a VP[-ing] predicate with movement/extraction or prevention interpretations.

Fans of the couple saw another clue to the status of their marriage when Lily was pictured in New York on Sunday with her 10-year-old daughter , Marnie - and the Smile singer 's wedding ring was firmly on . On Halloween , Lily continued taking no notice of the headlines as she transformed into Chucky for the spooky holiday . The star wore a classic ginger wig to look like the homicidal character . She completed the look with fake scars on her face and rocked denim overalls over a striped t-shirt . She also shared a picture of the gorgeous charcuterie board she put together at home for her and her kids . Googley eyes were added to certain snacks to add a ghoulish vibe while pumpkins surrounded a board filled with cheese , bread , vegetables and deli meats . Lily used her creativity and made a ' broom ' out of string cheese and a pretzel stick . A mini pumpkin was made using peeled satsumas and more pretzel sticks . It comes after fans started worrying about Lily and David 's relationship when they noticed she unfollowed him on Instagram @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fan commented on X : " APPARENTLY DAVID HARBOUR AND LILY ALLEN UNFOLLOWED EACH OTHER " and another asked : " Lily Allen and David Harbor would n't do that to me THEY WOULD N'T .

A source told The Sun : " Lily and David have barely been together for the past three months and have been living separate lives . When she was in London for the Pillowman , David was spotted at one performance in July before Lily was left by herself . In her downtime , Lily would be with mates in London or her kids .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'ruled himself out of leading' involves a reflexive pronoun and a gerund, but it does not involve an NP object that is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to indicate a decision not to participate, which does not align with the defined properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Former Wales captain Sam Warburton has backed Ireland coach Andy Farrell to take charge of the British and Irish Lions for their 2025 tour of Australia . The 35-year-old , who also skippered the Lions on their 2013 and 2017 tours , played under Warren Gatland on both occasions but the Wales boss has now ruled himself out of leading a fourth tour in two years ' time . Earlier this week , Gatland said he had been asked if he wanted to put his name forward for 2025 , but admitted it was " time to move on " and hand over the reins to another coach . In Warburton 's view , there would be few better successors than Farrell , who was recently named the World Rugby Coach of the Year after leading his side to a Grand Slam win in this year 's Six Nations before their 12-Test winning run was ended by New Zealand in the World Cup quarter-finals .

The Ireland boss has been part of the Lions set-up before - in 2013 and 2017 - and according to Warburton is " one of the best coaches " he has ever played under . " You 've got to look at the home nations and people who have got some Lions experience in the past , " he said . " The names that come to mind are people like Gregor Townsend , who was assistant coach on the last tour , Steve Borthwick who has been an assistant , and Andy Farrell who has been a defence coach and assistant coach of the Lions as well . " These three guys will all know what it takes and the pressure of a Lions tour . Andy Farrell has the most success as a head coach at international level , and he would be the obvious choice , but he 's got a fantastic role at Ireland with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they are building something special . Even though they might have fallen at the World Cup quarter-final hurdle , they are going to be a force in world rugby for quite some time . " Warburton added : " So whether he wants to relinquish that role for the six-to-12 month period that you need , there 's a lot of conversations that need to be had . But if you were picking it as a fantasy team now , Andy Farrell would be the frontrunner , given the fact he 's been on two tours . He was the defence coach for the two tours I was on , and without doubt one of the best coaches I 've had . " Gatland has also backed Farrell to replace him , telling reporters earlier this week : " I think it is the opportunity now for someone else to be head coach and Andy Farrell would have my backing for the job . " You can not deny what Ireland have achieved as a nation over the last few years and you are starting to see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the union . There is no doubt that Andy has done a fantastic job . " Warburton , who won 74 caps for Wales , enjoyed success with the Lions , becoming the youngest ever captain after being handed the captain 's armband for the 2013 tour at the age of 24 . While he was ruled out of the final through injury , he helped lead the side to their first series win since 1997 before playing three times in the drawn series with New Zealand four years later . He looks back fondly on those memories , describing being part of a Lions squad as the " pinnacle " of the sport , while also expressing relief that the tours are here to stay . " I think it would be an absolute disaster if the Lions tours were not going to continue , which is why I 'm so glad that the powers that be have cemented it into the rugby calendar , " he said .

Reasoning
×
The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, 'pulled out of hosting the show' is an intransitive use of 'pull out' with 'hosting the show' as a gerund phrase complement, not involving an NP object that functions as a causee. There is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

Reasoning
×
The sentence contains the phrase 'Cain Dingle talked Kim out of seeking help for the rapist,' which fits the structural pattern NP subject (Cain Dingle) + V1 (talked) + NP object (Kim) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (seeking help for the rapist). This instance has a prevention interpretation, where Cain Dingle prevents Kim from seeking help for the rapist by means of talking. The verb 'talked' falls under the category of means by enticing, flattering, or verbal persuasion. The NP object 'Kim' is a causee who participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The Dubai Police have seized and impounded 19 cars and five motorcycles after drivers were caught performing dangerous stunts and causing chaos in Al Ruwayyah during rainy weather . In a shocking video shared by the authorities on Saturday , the modified vehicles -- some with blinking neon lights -- were seen drifting , spinning , and parading on a road as rain lashed the emirate . Some passengers are even seen standing on pickup trucks or with half their bodies poking out of speeding cars ' windows . Despite repeated police warnings on following traffic rules , especially during unstable weather , " there remains a certain degree of unawareness among a segment of motorists who indulged in chaotic and reckless behaviour " , said Maj-Gen Saif Muhair Al Mazroui , director of the General Department of Traffic at Dubai Police . Performing such reckless stunts is a serious traffic violation in the UAE . In Dubai , a Dh50,000 fine is slapped on drivers whose cars were impounded due to dangerous behaviour .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'take the hassle out of booking a group holiday', where 'booking a group holiday' is a gerund phrase functioning as the object of the preposition 'out of', not as a VP2[-ing] predicate with a causee. Additionally, there is no clear movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, and the verb 'take' does not fit the semantic classes of verbs typically used in the construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It describes a scenario where entering a ranged stance changes buttons into spells, and mentions 'dipping in and out of spell-flinging', which is not a transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'out of spell-flinging' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes a situation where Stan is asked about what he was 'most excited about' out of being on Team Olly or duetting with Tom Jones, which does not involve a causer causing a causee to move out of or be prevented from an action denoted by a VP[-ing] predicate. Therefore, it does not qualify as an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Fans of ITV The Voice UK have called out a contestant for ' snubbing ' judge Olly Murs . It came after the 79-year-old musician auditioned on the show . Stan Irving explained how he used to play with famous bands of the 1960s like The Swinging Blue Jeans , The Tremolos and The Troggs , as he showed off a photo albums include pictures of himself with legends Jimmy Page and Chuck Berry . He chose Chuck 's classic track Johnny B.Goode as his audition track and , clearly a fan of Stan 's playing and enthusiastic performance , Olly was the only one of the judges to send his chair turning for him . However , it quickly became apparent that it was Sir Tom that Stan was really bothered about impressing . He said : " Tom was rock and roll , he is rock and roll and will always be rock and roll . " On Tom 's request , Stan then played Great Balls of Fire on the keyboard as Tom belted out the famous song , before a rather awkward moment , when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ChronicleLive reports . As Stan looked puzzled , Olly told him : " I pressed my button for you , " as Stan asked : " What about Mr Jones ? " to which Olly replied : " He did n't press his button . But I pressed it for you , so I 'll get you to sing again in the next round . " Stan moved swiftly away from Olly to Tom , walking over to the icon 's chair to shake his hand and telling him : " Thank you for keeping the torch going all these years .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee, and the phrase 'out of drinking' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'drinking' is part of a prepositional phrase modifying 'the fun and mysticism'.

One married couple have disagreed over their daughter 's consumption of alcohol ( Picture : Getty ) One dad has been left furious with his wife after she allowed their 16-year-old daughter to drink a glass of wine as an evening treat . Whilst watching a film together , her daughter asked if she could try some of her mum 's glass . Accepting her request despite her otherwise ' strict ' pre-existing views on alcohol , chaos ensued when the father found out . ' Last night , I ( F46 ) had a glass of wine while watching a movie with my daughter ( F16 ) , and she asked me if she could try some ' , the mum 's Reddit post read . ' Normally , I 'm strict with my children when it comes to alcoholic beverages , but I did n't think a little wine would hurt , so I poured her a glass . I told her that this would be a once-in-a-blue-moon exception . ' My husband ( M48 ) , on the other hand , was not okay with this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her with the wine in her hand , he lost his mind . ' He started shouting at me , asking why the hell I let her drink alcohol underaged , and said she could easily become addicted to it . I immediately felt bad and apologised , but my husband is still pissed with me over this . I do n't think he trusts me anymore . ' The comments were largely sympathetic to the mum 's perspective , with one arguing that this presented a ' safe , controlled ' environment through which to introduce her child to alcohol .

Kate Winstanley , director of Community Alcohol Partnerships , told Metro.co.uk parental supply of alcohol to children is a ' complex subject area ' which ' needs to be tackled sensitively .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'sucked all the joy out of watching football' involves the verb 'sucked' with 'all the joy' as its object, but 'watching football' is not a VP2[-ing] predicate that the object participates in as a causee. Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

But visiting boss Mikel Arteta was left furious , launching an angry rant against the VAR system after the game . The club then released an explosive statement backing their manager on Sunday morning , with Morgan also putting himself firmly in Arteta 's camp . " I like Arteta 's passion . I remember Alex Ferguson blowing up . I 've got to say , I could probably have done without the Arsenal club statement endorsing it , which seems over the top to me . But I thought Arteta 's passionate reaction was completely understandable , " he told talkSPORT . " I hate VAR with a rare enthusiasm , I think it is one of the worst things I 've ever seen in sport because it 's sucked all the joy out of watching football . Every single great goal now to see if it 's counted or not and then someone 's nostril might mean it does n't .

Probably four if you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Piers Morgan was adamant Anthony Gordon 's goal should have been ruled out for four separate reasons ( Image : CameraSport via Getty Images ) " The ball clearly went out , the foul was clearly a foul . Joelinton put two hands clearly on the back of Gabriel and knocked him over . Clearly it was offside , clearly you can see a handball as well . Four different reasons . None of them get given . " McCoist then jumped in to disagree with Morgan , sparking a back and forth between the two of them . The Scottish legend insisted that there were no " clear and obvious " errors made by the on-field refereeing team to rule the goal out , much to Morgan 's fury . " Piers I 'm going to say to you , I agree with your verdict on VAR , it 's driving me crazy . However , I think the key words are clear and obvious . I do n't think any of them , and I genuinely believe this , are clear and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , " McCoist said before being interrupted .

The sentence 'a patient talked him out of exploding a bomb at a hospital' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It has a prevention interpretation, where the patient prevented the NHS worker from exploding a bomb. The verb 'talked' fits the category of means by verbal persuasion. The NP object 'him' functions as a causee, and the construction induces a prevention interpretation, making it a valid instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence 'a patient talked him out of exploding a bomb at a hospital' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It also exhibits a prevention interpretation, where the patient prevented the NHS worker from exploding the bomb by means of talking. The verb 'talked' falls under the category of means by enticing, flattering, or verbal persuasion. The NP object 'him' functions as a causee, and the construction allows for the atypical reflexive NP object, which is coreferential with the subject in some cases, though not here. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It mentions 'pull out of underperforming locations', where 'underperforming locations' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the sentence does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

Thousands of visitors will descend upon Manchester city centre in the coming weeks as the Christmas Markets return . Opening on Friday November 10 the markets will see dozens of wooden stalls set up across various zones in the city . This year the main hub will once again be at Piccadilly Gardens , transformed into the " Winter Gardens " . Clusters of stalls will also be at Cathedral Gardens ( along with the ice rink ) , Market Street , New Cathedral Street , Exchange Square , St Ann 's Square and King Street . The markets are popular and can be extremely busy on evenings and at weekends . So , if you 're planning on paying them a visit , it 's important to plan how you 're going to get there . We 've outlined how to visit the markets through different forms of public transport below , as well as by car . It 's worth checking for any last-minute road closures and maintenance works before setting off on your journey to avoid any disruption . You can get to the Christmas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( Image : Manchester Evening News ) There are several tram stops within a short walking distance of the market locations . Piccadilly Gardens is the closest stop for the main hub at " Winter Gardens " , while Market Street is the best stop to reach St Ann 's Square , Exchange Street and New Cathedral Street . Exchange Square tram stop is directly by the stalls there , and it 's also a good bet if you 're heading to Cathedral Gardens . Alternatively use the tram stop at Victoria Station . Although there are n't any markets in St Peter 's Square , there is a giant illuminated Santa , so this stop is excellent if you fancy a photo opportunity and a relaxed stroll to the stalls . The Piccadilly Gardens bus stop is right at the heart of the action near the " Winter Gardens " hub . But if you want to avoid the crowds and do n't mind a short walk , you may find it easier to get off the bus earlier , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Piccadilly Gardens bus stop . Shudehill Interchange is slightly away from the action so it should n't be too busy , but it 's conveniently only a five minute walk from Exchange Square . Church Street in the Northern Quarter is a practical stop if you 're heading to the stalls in Market Street , or the " Winter Gardens " . Victoria and Piccadilly are the two main train stations nearest to the markets . Victoria is closest to Cathedral Gardens , Exchange Square and the main run of markets along New Cathedral Street and St Ann 's Square . Meanwhile Piccadilly station is around a 10-minute walk to the main hub at the " Winter Gardens " . Although slightly further out , Oxford Road station is a good option if you want to avoid the crowds , but it is a longer walk to the markets - approximately 20 minutes . If you are travelling to the city centre by car then there are several car parks you can use . The NCP car parks at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ones . Piccadilly Plaza is open from 6am until 11pm , while Chorlton Street is open 24 hours . Prices start from ? 3.95 per hour ( pay on the day ) . There are several more car parks throughout the city centre - you can find more details on the Manchester Council website here . But if you want to take the stress out of securing a parking spot , then park and ride is a good option to consider . TfGM has details on park and ride options across Greater Manchester for bus , train and tram . You can find out more here . |

This year the main hub will once again be at Piccadilly Gardens , transformed into the " Winter Gardens " . Clusters of stalls will also be at Cathedral Gardens ( along with the ice rink ) , Market Street , New Cathedral Street , Exchange Square , St Ann 's Square and King Street . The markets are popular and can be extremely busy on evenings and at weekends . So , if you 're planning on paying them a visit , it 's important to plan how you 're going to get there . We 've outlined how to visit the markets through different forms of public transport below , as well as by car . It 's worth checking for any last-minute road closures and maintenance works before setting off on your journey to avoid any disruption . You can get to the Christmas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( Image : Manchester Evening News ) There are several tram stops within a short walking distance of the market locations . Piccadilly Gardens is the closest stop for the main hub at " Winter Gardens " , while Market Street is the best stop to reach St Ann 's Square , Exchange Street and New Cathedral Street . Exchange Square tram stop is directly by the stalls there , and it 's also a good bet if you 're heading to Cathedral Gardens . Alternatively use the tram stop at Victoria Station . Although there are n't any markets in St Peter 's Square , there is a giant illuminated Santa , so this stop is excellent if you fancy a photo opportunity and a relaxed stroll to the stalls . The Piccadilly Gardens bus stop is right at the heart of the action near the " Winter Gardens " hub . But if you want to avoid the crowds and do n't mind a short walk , you may find it easier to get off the bus earlier , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Piccadilly Gardens bus stop . Shudehill Interchange is slightly away from the action so it should n't be too busy , but it 's conveniently only a five minute walk from Exchange Square . Church Street in the Northern Quarter is a practical stop if you 're heading to the stalls in Market Street , or the " Winter Gardens " . Victoria and Piccadilly are the two main train stations nearest to the markets . Victoria is closest to Cathedral Gardens , Exchange Square and the main run of markets along New Cathedral Street and St Ann 's Square . Meanwhile Piccadilly station is around a 10-minute walk to the main hub at the " Winter Gardens " . Although slightly further out , Oxford Road station is a good option if you want to avoid the crowds , but it is a longer walk to the markets - approximately 20 minutes . If you are travelling to the city centre by car then there are several car parks you can use . The NCP car parks at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ones . Piccadilly Plaza is open from 6am until 11pm , while Chorlton Street is open 24 hours . Prices start from ? 3.95 per hour ( pay on the day ) . There are several more car parks throughout the city centre - you can find more details on the Manchester Council website here . But if you want to take the stress out of securing a parking spot , then park and ride is a good option to consider .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'forced a smart stop out of opposing goalkeeper Harvey Collins' does not involve a VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes an action where the goalkeeper is forced to make a stop, which is not the same as the transitive out of -ing construction.

West Brom Under-21s played out a rather uneventful goalless draw at Hednesford Town 's Keys Park on Monday night when they hosted Reading in the Premier League 2 . Richard Beale 's boys , who included the returning Reyes Cleary after around seven months out with injury and first-team centre half Caleb Taylor in their side , had some decent openings over the course of the evening without making the Royals pay . Cleary produced the best moment of the first half for the Baggies when he cut inside from the left and forced a smart stop out of opposing goalkeeper Harvey Collins , while fellow forward and second half substitute Eseosa Sule came the closest in the next 45 when he rifled a shot from distance which was tipped over the bar . Albion play away at Reading in the Premier League Cup next week , but for now this stops the rot in the league - they had lost their previous three games prior to this stalemate . Here are the talking points from Keys Park . This was the first game in five that Albion had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to grips with the PL2 . It 's proving tricky ; they 've not won since the first game , although all at this level will quite rightly tell you that performances are prioritised over results , but goals have largely been hard to come by and the average quality of opponent has increased in this newly introduced league system . " We look much more at the performances , " Beale said post-match . " The last game at Palace , we were disappointed in the way we played - we were weak and a little bit na ? ve , so I was really pleased to see the boys have a reaction . We were harder to play against and showed better basics . " We 've a young group who are having a lot of first-team training sessions , the manager wants to know what it is happening with them . He takes a keen interest , which is fantastic , but we need to be patient as we have a lot of young lads who still have plenty of developing left . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the young winger , from Celtic in January , Beale handed a first home start to towering and athletic midfielder and ex-Rangers talent Souleyman Mandey in the middle of the park , alongside Harry Whitwell . He was just about the pick of the players in the first half . There were some bright moments from Mandey , who arrived at The Hawthorns earlier this season and who , after time with Leigh Downing and the under 18s , was granted his first 21s start at Crystal Palace last Monday . He 's a big lad , you ca n't miss him . He covered plenty of ground over the course of this , in tricky conditions . Mandey waned a little in the second half , but after a pretty entertaining first half this second period in general was dull and devoid of many clear-cut chances . Still , this was a decent first look at a player who seems to possess composure on the ball with plenty of room still for refinement in his overall game . Sharpening the blade No breakthrough , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ striker Cleary , who is still in the early stages of his return from a serious , long-term hamstring injury . He was comfortably Albion 's biggest threat across the course of his appearance , which was for around three quarters of this game . Cleary 's first attempt was n't one he 'd like to see again , off balance and wild , but he gave Reading keeper Collins something to do later in the first half when he powered his way along the edge of the penalty area and thundered a low shot towards the corner which the Royals stopper beat away . Albion have struggled to score goals at this level , this season ; you have Jovan Malcolm and Mo Faal out on loan , the latter finding the net freely at the moment in League Two , but they 've missed Cleary until now , who here was involved for the first time since April . Now one of the more senior players in this youthful side , he was a threat when cutting in from the left without the end product on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ direction .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks a VP2[-ing] predicate and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'get the best out of everything', which is a different construction involving an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of'.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('get laughed out of wanting to go outside anymore'). It involves a verb ('laughed') that fits one of the categories (by means of arousing fear, irritation, anger, annoyance, confusion, or surprise). The NP object ('they') functions as a causee, and the interpretation is prevention (they are prevented from wanting to go outside anymore by being laughed at). This aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

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

The Thornhill Park crowd were treated to two terrific goals from the hosts as Rudi McKinnon and Ben Hands ' first-half strikes secured three precious points for Slimbridge against Gloucestershire rivals Cinderford Town . It was a wonder strike from McKinnon that gave him his ninth goal of the season making him the side 's top scorer for the campaign with nine goals in just 15 starts , with co-manager Tom Deakin stating after the game " he should be on 10 after today . " " The goal he scored today , that 's what he can do , he can conjure something out of nothing and he 's been a vital part of our way forward this season . " The hosts dominated the visitors in the first 45 minutes of the game , with the Swans seeing two efforts hit the Cinderford post in the first five minutes as they failed to gain the advantage . Slimbridge continued to have most of the possession as the half continued with plenty of more chances arising for the home team as they failed to capitalise on an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for home outfit throughout the first half with plenty of their chances coming from Thomas crosses into the box from the right-hand side with nobody able to get on the end of them .

It would n't take the Swans long to find another as just 10 minutes later as Hands launched a free kick into the box which bobbled directly into the Cinderford goal as the home side doubled their lead in the 36th minute . It was a poor first half performance from the visitors as they trailed 2-0 heading into half-time with the 178 at the game counting Cinderford lucky to only be two goals down . Neither side were able to get a grip of the game in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ failed to get out of first gear .

" " They had mine or 10 corners in that second half and in other games we 've crumbled under that sort of pressure , " Deakin said . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'making show-stopping centrepieces out of icing' involves the verb 'making' with 'centrepieces' as its object and 'out of icing' as a prepositional phrase indicating the material used, not a VP2[-ing] predicate. There is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, and the NP object 'centrepieces' does not function as a causee.

" For an artist , it is a never ending source of inspiration . " Next week , two days after Bill celebrates his 90th birthday , he opens his first major exhibition in decades entitled Expressions , which is full of faces .

" I went to Gurney Pease school , and one of the teachers there took us along as 10-year-olds to the Darlington & Teesdale Naturalists Field Club .

The sentence 'She got a warning for the incident in the nursing home and got out of going to jail but she's obviously not shown any respect for the authorities or her employers.' involves the transitive out of -ing construction. The structure is 'she got out of going to jail', where 'she' is the NP subject, 'got' is the V1, 'out of' introduces the VP2[-ing] 'going to jail', and it implies a prevention interpretation (she prevented herself from going to jail). The NP subject is an animate agent, and the construction fits the required structural and semantic patterns.

Houston admitted fraud at Ayr Sheriff Court and was ordered to do 240 hours of unpaid work as well as repaying the money within a year . The court was told she had forged managers ' signatures to take residents ' money from the home between April 1 and December 21 , 2013 . Bosses said they had to compensate residents for their losses while a sheriff described her deceit as " a serious offence against those who are the most vulnerable " .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction.

An axe killing and a rape and murder are just some of the shocking and violent crimes lurking in the Fair City 's dark past . And they make Perth the perfect setting for a mini crime-writing festival . Graeme Strachan reports . The most infamous murder to have taken place in or near the Fair City was the axe slaying of Janet Rogers at Mount Stewart Farm near Forgandenny on March 30 1866 . Janet , who was a married mum-of-five , travelled to the farm of her brother , William Henderson , to help with chores while he looked for a new domestic servant . Three days later she was dead . Henderson 's ploughman James Crichton was suspected of the murder but the evidence was only circumstantial . The trial jury in Perth took just 12 minutes to return a verdict of " not proven " .

Seventeen-year-old Marjory flees , but is chased , caught , and brutally assaulted . What follows is an investigation which shook the quiet city of Perth .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'make a living out of capturing landscapes or faces' involves the verb 'make' with an NP object 'a living', but it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The NP object 'a living' does not function as a causee, and the construction does not involve causing someone to move out of or preventing someone from an action denoted by a VP[-ing] predicate.

Dubai is not only the best city to live in , but also , with its stunning skyline , architectural marvels , and a blend of modernity and tradition , stands out as a top destination for photographers seeking diverse and captivating subjects . Be it the iconic Downtown or Marina skylines , Burj Khalifa , Burj Al Arab , and other towering structures , or the vast Arabian Desert and its mesmerising dunes , especially during sunrise or sunset . We got in touch with photographers in Dubai , who make a living out of capturing landscapes or faces , and found out what draws them to the camera , and their favourite spots across the city . " I am drawn to photography as a medium that transcends words , " said Raihan Hamid , a Dubai-based photographer , whose expertise lies in capturing the best of city 's towering skylines . He added : " With each shot , I embark on a quest to freeze fragments of time , encapsulating emotions and stories within the confines of a frame . It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crafting visual tales that resonate and endure . " For Raihan , The Address Downtown stands as the ultimate hotspot , especially because it offers the best views to capture the spectacular New Year 's fireworks in Dubai , which is set to arrive soon . " This vantage point provides an unparalleled view for this grand celebration on the iconic Burj Khalifa , " he said , adding , " It 's important to note , however , that access to this location is highly restricted , reserved for individuals with specific permits and access cards , as it is closely guarded for the big night 's festivities . " As is the case for the rooftop at Gevora Hotel in Downtown , the world 's tallest hotel . " Its rooftop offers the prime location for capturing the enchanting early morning winter fog , " Raihan said . Another popular rooftop for Dubai 's photography community is the one at Shangri-La Hotel in Downtown . From here , Raihan said , " photographers can capture a stunning , futuristic cityscape featuring the prominent Burj Khalifa @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Raihan also found a " unique vantage point " to capture the stunning Museum of the Future , one of Dubai 's latest architectural marvels . The photo was captured from a point situated behind the museum , with some water reflections in play . While the city has one of the best skylines of the world , it is no less on cultural richness . The historic Al Fahidi and Al Seef districts boast the best of UAE 's traditional architecture . The bustling souks provide a glimpse into the city 's heritage , offering photographers the fusion of old and new , creating a narrative of cultural diversity . There , he has taken more than a hundred photos , filmed over 15 cinematic videos and films , and yet , the site remains his best because with every capture , a unique charm remains in his eyes as well as his audiences . " I have explored a vast variety of locations in the UAE only to realise that Al Seef has and always will be my favourite , " Rohit said . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to my already interesting clients , creating breathtaking results . Regardless of the theme of the shoot being traditional or western , Al Seef has allowed for my creative vision to flow freely . " For Rohit , photography is everything but just a " click of a button and perhaps some framing , lighting and basic other composition requirements . " " Anybody can press buttons and achieve framing , " he said . " But it takes a connection to enable capturing the true soul of a moment and making it special . " Luckily , the new obsession everyone has with the golden hour makes that so much easier for me . It is a magical time of the day that translates into the photos and videos then .

Carlisle United lost 1-0 at home to Bristol Rovers on Saturday - but what did we learn from the game ? Let 's take a closer look ... 1 PROBLEM AREA It goes without saying that Carlisle are short of goals , and the issue is highlighted further by the fact that , defensively ... they are ok . The wake of a 1-0 defeat earned by an own-goal might not be the ideal time to be making that point . But United 's general record across 2023/24 so far does strengthen the idea that , if only they could improve in attack , the other parts are at least acceptable . Carlisle 's defensive record is acceptable - if only things were the same at the other end ( Image : Ben Holmes ) Carlisle 's defensive record of 20 goals conceded is in fact the joint best in the bottom half of the table . Plus they 've played a game more than many of those sides . This might not paint the full picture -- sides are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Blues , and are adapting their game plans accordingly -- but a defensive tally better than those offered by Blackpool ( 8th ) , Charlton Athletic ( 11th ) , Wycombe Wanderers ( 12th ) and several others can not be dismissed entirely . At the other end ... not good . This was a 12th game from 21 in all competitions without scoring , and United 's return of 13 from 17 league games is better than only three sides in the division . That ratio has them on course for a measly total of 35 from their 46 league games , which would be a club record low for a season . No secret , then , what needs fixing . 2 WHERE 'S THE FLAIR ? In the first half -- the scene-setting stage of the game , the period which often sees the Blues fall short -- there was a painful lack of true penetration . Too often it seemed to drop to Jordan Gibson to try and engineer something out of nothing . He tried his best @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and providing moments of deft skill , but these only served to highlight the sterility elsewhere . Jordan Gibson was too often United 's only creative influence in the first half ( Image : Ben Holmes ) As well as that , Gibson 's brightest moments were generally too far from goal to hurt Bristol Rovers , who defended stoutly when things got closer to their box . Player of the month nominee Gibson had twice as many shots as anyone else in blue while , from other sources , there was too little pace , too little invention . Luke Plange , one of Carlisle 's better players , was persistent on the left , but others offered very little . An indictment of the Cumbrians ' inability to start games brightly is that they are still stuck on just four first-half goals from their 21 games this season . It puts excessive pressure on their comeback capabilities . The odd time it 's paid off for them ( Bolton Wanderers away , Burton Albion at home ) but more often than not they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ strain onto whatever other shortcomings are hobbling Paul Simpson 's side right now . The sign of improvement will be when United are showing greater authority from 0-45 . May it come soon . 3 SET-PIECE STRUGGLES Dead-ball situations were often a source of strength for United last season . At the higher level ... not so much . Carlisle won ten corners on Saturday compared with Bristol Rovers ' none . Much good it did them . This is where a game plainly can not be won on stats alone . In their 17 games so far in League One , United have had 97 corners at an average of just under six per game . How many goals have directly resulted ? Two : an own-goal against Shrewsbury Town , and Joe Garner 's header at Stevenage . ( If you 're being generous , you can include Jordan Gibson at Bolton , but that was a case of Gibson making the most of a delivery that reached him outside the box ) So , depending on your take , Carlisle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from one . At a stage when they 're toiling to find their feet at League One 's general level , this is another area that 's costing them . The occasional free-kick has led to further goals -- Luke Plange at Lincoln City , for instance -- but it is hard to make the case for the Blues being deadly when the ball is dead right now . The last time a defender scored for Carlisle remains Ben Barclay 's famous header against Bradford City in last season 's play-off semi-final second leg . It 's one of many departments where they are not managing to help themselves , give themselves a bonus or a leg-up . 4 BRIGHT SPOTS Sifting positives from a defeat that leaves you third bottom and three points adrift feels something of a token activity .

The Crystal Palace loanee has struggled for goals since his arrival and his displays have come in for some criticism from supporters . Dylan McGeouch , pictured , and Luke Plange came out of the defeat with some credit ( Image : Ben Holmes ) Against Bristol Rovers , Simpson chanced his arm with Plange in the XI after a period on the bench . The forward , to his credit , did his best to attack the opportunity , looking to run at Andy Mangan 's defenders , putting in some useful and well-struck deliveries and getting on the end of a couple himself in the second half . Plange appeared to enjoy the extra freedom the wider role offered and his positivity was something Simpson could take out of the spectacle . In midfield , meanwhile , United need lasting solutions to the long-term loss of Callum Guy and while Dylan McGeouch is a different kind of player , he at least showed a glimpse of how Carlisle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ full league debut for the Blues , a fact that reflects how frustrating and injury-tarnished his start to life at Carlisle has been . Yet McGeouch showed good control , accuracy and pace in the pass in front of United 's defence on Saturday . His passing accuracy ratio was high -- 86.3 per cent , according to WhoScored.com -- while the quality of his long passes ( five connected out of eight ) was a better figure than most could muster . An 81-minute showing was probably as good and sustained as could be expected , all in all , given how his last three months have panned out .

Congratulations to Linda Robson , who has announced the beginning of a beautiful new relationship . With herself . Linda ' s ended her marriage to husband Mark after 33 years , saying : " He 's a really good dad and we had some good years , but enough is enough . " Back in June she revealed on ITV 's Loose Women that she 's been celibate for two years , and she recently went on a family holiday without him . The writing has long been on the wall . But many , many couples would have ignored that writing , pretended they were illiterate . Stayed together out of convenience , lived separate lives , stuck out a stale relationship because that 's the done thing . Not being exactly miserable , maybe , but definitely not making the most out of their time on planet Earth . They would have glumly trudged on regardless , lying in the bed they made decades ago , when they were probably very different people . Good on Linda for wanting more than that . The 65-year-old has presumably realised that she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and been brave enough to design her own bespoke happily ever after . " I 'm not interested in dating , honestly . I ca n't be a***d with all that , " she says , in typically blunt fashion . " I 've got my family and my kids around me . And I 'm going on a cruise with Lesley Joseph in November . " I 'm keeping busy . I feel fine . I 'm just going away on trips all the time . " The view that a marriage is only successful if it lasts forever is outdated , boring , and wrong . Spending 30 years together ? definitely qualifies as a success that Linda and Mark should be proud of . Obviously all relationships go through hard times , and take work , but if you 've done all you can , tried as hard as possible and it 's not serving either of you any more , you need to have the guts to say when -- as Linda did -- enough is enough . Parents separating is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but Linda and Mark 's are 27 and 31 , adults with their own lives -- the least worst scenario . Linda also speaks about Mark with respect , praising him as a father , which bodes well for them all still being able to spend time together as a family . There 's something very inspiring about a woman choosing the next chapter of her life for herself . Not making the best out of being left for a younger model , or settling for a situation that 's only OK , but purposefully identifying what will make her happy -- sunshine breaks with friends , time with kids and grandchildren -- and going for it . Women spend vast amounts of time and energy trying to please other people all their lives , so three cheers for Linda , who has decided it 's OK to please herself ... even if that does mean going on holiday with Lesley Joseph . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'rule himself out of buying the Reds' involves a reflexive NP object and a gerund, but it does not clearly induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the construction. Additionally, the verb 'rule' does not fit into the categories of verbs that typically appear in the V1 slot of the construction.

Manchester United investment hopeful Sir Jim Ratcliffe is on the verge of having his minority acquisition formally confirmed . Ratcliffe has been the frontrunner to purchase a 25 per cent stake in United since October when Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani withdrew from the process . Since the Qatari banker 's decision to rule himself out of buying the Reds , there has been uncertainty among fans about the Glazers remaining at the club . The 1958 fan group organised a peaceful protest last Saturday at Old Trafford calling for a full sale only . Ratcliffe 's task now is to win over those who are sceptical , one of whom is former United centre-back Rio Ferdinand , and the INEOS chief could get off to a good start with his first major hire . Dougie Freedman and Paul Mitchell are the early contenders to come in as director of football once Ratcliffe takes charge of footballing operations at United , according to the Daily Mail . John Murtough currently occupies the role but his job is thought to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and a massive transfer spend not paying off . Chief executive Richard Arnold is also vulnerable . Freedman has been sporting director at Crystal Palace since 2017 , overseeing the transfer policy at Selhurst Park as the club cement themselves as a Premier League regular . He is credited with signing the likes of Eberechi Eze , Michael Olise and Marc Guehi . Former centre-back Ferdinand believes it will be a " big risk " to grant Ratcliffe control of United 's recruitment strategy amid his impending investment in the club . It is understood that Ratcliffe is close to agreeing a deal with the Glazer family to purchase a 25 per cent stake in United . As reported by the Manchester Evening News last week , the British billionaire , who is the founder of chemical giant Ineos , has held virtual meetings with United co-chairman Joel Glazer . One of United 's top investors , Ariel Investments , has sold more than half of its stock in the club over the past 18 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ March 2022 . Initially , the Chicago-based firm held 12.3m shares in United , which is roughly 7.5 per cent of the club . However , amid the news in November 2022 regarding the Glazers undertaking a ' strategic review ' into their ownership , this fire sale has picked up even further pace . Currently , according to City AM , their investment in United has been slashed to 5.7m and is continuing to drop . United 's Adidas home shirt is made up of the same colour of the city 's iconic red rose and features a black collar . The collar also features a dash of both red and white , giving it a slick and modernised look . |

Plans to install a new 20m phone mast opposite a church and library in Coventry have been thrown out . Coventry City Council has confirmed that the proposals for land near Tile Hill Library in Jardine Crescent have been refused .

Women pensioners who have shared part of their income tax allowance with their partner could face an unwelcome tax bill . A former pensions minister , Sir Steve Webb , has issued the warning today to female OAPs - warning it 's a result of the frozen income tax allowance . Mr Webb warned figures show that around 2.1 million couples benefited from the marriage allowance in 2020/21 . He said just over one in three of these are estimated to be pensioner couples . Sir Steve , who is now partner at consultants LCP ( Lane Clark & Peacock ) , said : " This is yet another unwelcome by-product of the year-on-year freeze in the value of the tax allowance . " Hundreds of thousands of women have signed over part of their tax-free allowance in order to reduce their husband 's tax bill . But as the state pension rises many of these women may now find they end up with an unexpected tax bill . We could see marriage allowance ' mayhem ' as hundreds of thousands of couples have to decide whether to carry on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ income pensioners being dragged into the tax net . " The sooner the freeze on tax allowances comes to an end , the better . " A Treasury spokesperson said : " Pensioners whose sole income is the new state pension and who have not deferred or receive protected payments do not pay any income tax , and this year we provided the biggest ever cash increase to pension payments , a 10.1 per cent rise . " Our tax burden remains lower than any major European economy - and by raising personal thresholds over the past decade we have taken three million people out of paying tax altogether . The best tax cut we can provide right now is to halve inflation , which we 're on track to do this year as long as we stick to our plan .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'rule him out of playing full-back' does not involve a causer causing a causee to move out of or be prevented from an action, nor does it fit the semantic interpretations (movement/extraction or prevention) characteristic of the construction. Instead, 'rule out' is used in a more general sense of excluding someone from a position or role, without the specific causative semantics required by the construction.

With the Six Nations fast approaching there is more than one position where Warren Gatland will need to find some depth . One of these is undoubtedly full-back following Leigh Halfpenny 's retirement from Test rugby and Liam Williams ' move to Japan . When recently asked at a press conference Gatland was quick to point out outside-half and full-back as the two positions where the cupboard is most bare . Over the next couple of months Gatland will need to find some answers to Wales ' full-back dilemma before their Six Nations opener against Scotland at the Principality Stadium . Rugby correspondent Steffan Thomas outlines his full-back pecking order . In the long run Gatland may look to include some fresh blood at full-back but for the Six Nations he could go with what he knows . Josh Adams is one of the best wings in the northern hemisphere but he has all the skills required to play Test rugby at full-back . The 28-year-old has excellent positional sense , is solid under the high ball and is strong in defence . Adams also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ offensively and defensively is also of the highest quality . A back-three of Adams at 15 along with Rio Dyer and Louis Rees-Zammit on the wings is a mouthwatering prospect . Yes , this would mean taking Adams away from the wing , a position where he has performed to world-class levels , but for the Six Nations at least it is probably a case of Gatland getting his best players out onto the pitch . Moving the Gloucester speedster to full-back is n't as dramatic as it sounds . The 22-year-old has played full-back for Wales in the past , and has shone . Rees-Zammit is undoubtedly one of the deadliest finishers in world rugby full stop but there is an argument Wales do n't get his hands on the ball enough . If he were to move to full-back he would hopefully have a lot more space to attack , and Rees-Zammit in the number 15 jersey has the potential to rip the best defences in the world apart . While speed is undoubtedly his main attribute , there is so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ footballer who is comfortable acting as a playmaker , and more often than not makes good decisions . Should he start at full-back the challenge would be getting himself up to the same defensive and positional levels as Halfpenny and Williams , although there is no doubt he is capable of it . The likelihood is Rees-Zammit will defer to full-back at some stage . The new Dragons signing is a safe pair of hands and did well during Wales ' summer Test against South Africa . Gatland included Evans in Wales ' extended Rugby World Cup training camp so has had a good look at the 24-year-old . Evans does not have the attacking capabilities of others but is a nice footballer who has good positional sense , while he is solid in the air and in defence . His error rate is also minimal which is always a good thing in Gatland 's book while his kicking game , both from the tee and out of hand , is international class . Evans is n't going to light up a game @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ steady option . If there was an injury crisis and Wales were forced to start the Dragons man in a big Six Nations game he at the very least would n't leave Gatland down . Rogers was another player Gatland had a good look at during the World Cup training camps while he also saw action against England , South Africa and more recently the Barbarians , albeit on the wing . There are many down west who believe Rogers has what it takes to make it as an international full-back but the evidence to date suggests Gatland sees the 24-year-old as a wing . But that does n't necessarily rule him out of playing full-back at Test level given Liam Williams started his international career on the wing before Gatland moved him infield . Williams himself recently identified Rogers as his long-term replacement in the Wales number 15 shirt . Rogers is a devastating broken field runner who can cut opposition sides to shreds if you give him space while his distribution skills are very good . He is also fearless under the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . What goes against Rogers is his high-risk style of rugby while his error rate is probably a bit too high for Gatland 's liking . There 's no doubt he has an extremely high ceiling but he needs to tighten up a bit if he is to wear the Wales number 15 shirt . The 20-year-old shined brightly for Wales U20s and has made an excellent start to the season for Cardiff . Winnett is a very intelligent footballer who is strong in the air and has good positional sense . He is a dangerous broken field runner who makes good decisions in attack . If there is room for a bolter in Gatland 's Six Nations squad it will be at full-back , and Winnett must surely be considered . Whether he quite has that little bit extra to develop into a top-end international-class player remains to be seen but he is certainly someone who needs to be looked at . The 22-year-old is rated highly at Cardiff Arms Park with many earmarking the former Wales U20s man @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a physical presence to the back-three , is typically solid in defence and hits good lines in attack . Unfortunately a long-term injury resulted in the man from Brecon missing a large chunk of rugby but he is now fully fit and up for selection once more . A place in Gatland 's Six Nations squad is probably pushing it but he 's certainly someone with the ability to break into the international set-up over the next few seasons . Certainly , between Beetham and Winnett , there 's a pair of potential Welsh full-backs fighting it out for the main role at the Arms Park . The Scarlets star is the forgotten man of Welsh rugby having won 10 caps for Wales under previous head coach Wayne Pivac . McNicholl was arguably the form full-back in Welsh rugby last season but did n't get a look in for the Six Nations and World Cup . However , on his day McNicholl is the best attacking full-back in Welsh rugby . The former Crusaders man is a deadly finisher but is also a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it would be a huge shock if Gatland was to turn to the Scarlets star given his high-risk style of rugby and the fact he is building for the 2027 World Cup where McNicholl will be 37 . Still , if the New Zealander is looking for a short-term fix he could do worse than give McNicholl a ring .

✔️ | [link] | ⭕ |
Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'his three-month lay-off with a hamstring injury' is the NP subject, 'rules' is V1, 'him' is the NP object, and 'out of being banned' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also induces a prevention interpretation, as the lay-off prevents him from being banned. The NP object 'him' functions as a causee, and the NP subject is an inanimate force/event, which aligns with the semantic requirements of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Sam Szmodics will face a one-match ban if he is booked in the next three games . ( Image : Camerasport ) Sam Szmodics and Lewis Travis must avoid picking up a yellow card in their next three Championship games to avoid a ban . Both players have collected four yellow cards this season and will serve a one-match suspension if they are booked again . Blackburn face Stoke City ( A ) , Birmingham City ( H ) and Sheffield Wednesday ( A ) after the international break . The trip to Hillsborough will be Rovers ' 19th match of the season , which takes place on December 2 . After the game , the five-card ban is cut off and rules out the risk of a suspension for a couple of months , at least . Szmodics has been a key player for Rovers this season , scoring 10 goals and leading the Championship charts . Jon Dahl Tomasson will be keen to ensure he does n't miss any league action . Travis came back into the team against Preston North End at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hoping to avoid a ban by being on his best behaviour in the upcoming games . Hayden Carter is the only Rovers player to have already hit the five-card threshold and served a one-match ban in the win over Norwich City . He subsequently missed the game against North End due to injury but should be fit to return against Stoke . Joe Rankin-Costello is also on four yellow cards but his three-month lay-off with a hamstring injury rules him out of being banned . No other Blackburn player has more than two yellow this season . After December 2 , any player who receives ten yellow cards up to and including the 37th league game of the season is handed an automatic two-match ban . Reaching 15 yellows up to and including the final game of the regular league season carries a three-match ban . Remarkably , Jannik Vestergaard has already collected eight bookings this season and now has 21 games to negotiate to avoid picking up a two-game suspension . Ben Pearson and Sam Morsy , two of the Championship 's tough-tacklers , are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Harry Pickering is the only player to have collected a straight dismissal . That was for his challenge on Liam Delap , bringing down the Hull City man and denying a clear goal-scoring opportunity . Scott Wharton was also sent off for the same reason against Norwich but that was , of course , overturned on appeal . No player in the Championship has been sent off more than once this term . Queens Park Rangers midfielder Jack Colback is the highest offending player having collected five yellow and a red card . Szmodics is the only Rovers player to have started every Championship game this season . Carter had also managed that until he picked up his ban against Norwich . Picking and Dom Hyam have both started 13 games apiece whilst Callum Brittain ( 1,189 ) has played the third-highest total minutes , behind Szmodics ( 1,394 ) and Carter ( 1,260 ) , despite starting 12 times .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, 'pulled out of' is used intransitively, and 'starring in the new series of I'm A Celebrity...' is not a VP2[-ing] predicate that induces a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The sentence lacks an NP object that functions as a causee, which is a key requirement for the construction.

Former England rugby star Danny Cipriani reportedly pulled out of starring in the new series of I 'm A Celebrity .... Get Me Out of Here ! at the last minutedue to his marriage breaking down . The 36-year-old was due to enter the jungle alongside the likes of ex-UKIP leader Nigel Farage , This Morning presenter Josie Gibson and JLS singer Marvin Humes , but withdrew from the hit ITV show just days before he was to be announced in the official final line-up , having split with his wife Victoria . The couple got married in April 2021 but their relationship has reportedly hit the rocks after he made a number of revelations in his autobiography , released earlier this year . In the book , he claimed at one stage of his career he was sleeping with three women a day , from " porn stars to actresses to girls I met at the coffee shop " . While Cipriani - who has previously dated Kelly Brook , Katie Price and Lindsay Lohan - built up a reputation as a bit of a playboy during his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in his autobiography have led to Victoria " growing increasingly unhappy " with the couple having a number of " difficult " rows in the months since it was published . Divorce lawyers have now reportedly been called in after the couple split , with the former Wasps and Sale Sharks man forced to abandon his plans to fly to Australia for the show . It was reported earlier in the year that Cipriani would be entering the jungle with ITV bosses keen to get him board and even paying him a six-figure sum to do so . A source close to the couple told MailOnline : ' Victoria knew dating a high-profile sportsman would mean an unwanted focus on their relationship . However , some of the stories in Danny 's book , especially regarding his sex life with past lovers , were pretty hard to absorb when written down in black and white for everyone to see . The marriage was never the same afterwards . " Cipriani would have become the latest star from the world of rugby to enter the jungle , following @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tindall . Other contestants joining this year 's series include Hollyoaks legend Nick Pickard , food critic Grace Dent , YouTuber Nella Rose and Britney Spears ' sister , Jamie-Lynn Spears .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'pulled out of' in a different context, indicating withdrawal from an activity, not causing someone to move or preventing someone from doing something.

Danny Cipriani has pulled out of joining I 'm A Celebrity 2023 following the breakdown of his two-year marriage . The 36-year-old has pulled out of the ITV show after he and wife Victoria Rose , 42 , called time on their romance last week following their wedding back in 2021 . Cipriani - who counts Kirsty Gallacher among his exes - was believed to be getting paid a six-figure sum to appear on I 'm A Celebrity . Back in August , a source told Mail Online : " He will be the hunk of the lineup and already there is talk of him and shower scenes amongst staff working on the programme . " There is also huge anticipation that he will reveal secrets from his showbiz lifestyle , he has been linked to many women over the years , and his scandals are well documented too so there will be lots for him to share .

Whilst we 've had some wonderful times together , we 've also recognised we 're on different journeys and whilst this is sad news , it 's also a new chapter for us both to pursue our own happiness .

The sentence 'Danny tied the knot with mental health campaigner Victoria in April 2021, but reports emerged earlier this month that the relationship had collapsed prompting Danny to pull out of appearing on ITV's I'm A Celeb.' involves the transitive out of -ing construction. The structure is 'Danny (NP subject) + pull (V1) + out of + appearing on ITV's I'm A Celeb (VP2[-ing] predicate)'. This gives rise to a prevention interpretation, where Danny is prevented from appearing on the show due to the collapse of his relationship. The verb 'pull' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure, and the NP object is implied (Danny himself), functioning as a causee.

The sentence 'Danny tied the knot with mental health campaigner Victoria in April 2021, but reports emerged earlier this month that the relationship had collapsed prompting Danny to pull out of appearing on ITV's I'm A Celeb.' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. Here, 'Danny' is the NP subject, 'pull' is the V1, 'out of' is followed by the VP2[-ing] 'appearing on ITV's I'm A Celeb'. The interpretation is prevention, as the collapse of the relationship caused Danny to prevent himself from appearing on the show. The verb 'pull' in this context implies a means of exerting force or pressure, fitting one of the categories of verbs that can appear in the V1 slot. The NP object is implied to be Danny himself (reflexive), which is an atypical but acceptable type of NP object in this construction.

The sentence 'Danny tied the knot with mental health campaigner Victoria in April 2021, but reports emerged earlier this month that the relationship had collapsed prompting Danny to pull out of appearing on ITV's I'm A Celeb.' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. Here, 'Danny' is the NP subject, 'pull' is the V1, 'out of appearing on ITV's I'm A Celeb' is the VP2[-ing] predicate, and there is an implied NP object (himself). The interpretation is a prevention interpretation, where the collapse of the relationship caused Danny to prevent himself from appearing on the show. This aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Danny Cipriani 's wife is thought to have had a ' heated scrap ' with a fitness trainer and model at a glitzy party at the Four Seasons Hotel in London 's Mayfair . The rugby ace 's estranged wife Victoria Rose O'Callaghan reportedly confronted Danny and Dutch-born Isa Yasmijn at the bash and was ' seen sparring ' in the alleged scrap on November 4 . They were attending an event hosted by Danny and self-help guru Garrett Kramer . " Something was different about him . Normally Danny only has eyes for Vic but he was n't giving her half the attention he usually would , " a source revealed . " It was like he did n't really want her there . When they got to the talk , Danny was playing the crowds . Vic noticed he was looking at other women including Isa , chatting them up , and alarm bells started going off . " Victoria is thought to have ' snapped ' after Danny ' made her site at another table while he was with Isa ' . The insider told The Sun : " She had enough @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over and demanded to know what the hell was going on . Isa swore at her and squared up to her . It got very heated . " Danny tied the knot with mental health campaigner Victoria in April 2021 , but reports emerged earlier this month that the relationship had collapsed prompting Danny to pull out of appearing on ITV 's I 'm A Celeb . It is said Victoria struggled to cope with some of the more lurid details of Danny 's recent autobiography where he recalled enjoying threesomes almost daily at the peak of his fame - and that divorce lawyers have been called in to settle the end of their romance . While Danny and Victoria may be sifting through the ruins of their relationship behind closed doors , the former England fly-half has been hinting about his feelings via social media . He is not , however , being direct - as fans will note a very ' cryptic ' element to the messages that he has recently been sharing . On Saturday , Danny took to Instagram Stories to share an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ following your heart ' - suggesting he had to call time on his romance . The message read : " There 's one thing I 've always known , even when it was buried among the rubble of my mind : it 's better to follow your heart and be true to yourself than play by other people 's rules . " The message added : " You might not be accepted by everyone , but the rewards , when they finally come , will be so much sweeter than any trophy . " A subsequent message read : " We are here to show each other God . The portal is each other . " The mixed messages may give fans an insight into Danny 's mindset in the midst of reports his relationship is over .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'bow out of seeing her husband cross the finish line' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

There 's a destination that has everything - and it takes about an hour to fly there from Manchester . In the summer , temperatures soar , and the beaches are absolutely glorious . In autumn and winter , it 's a surfers ' paradise , with stunning atmospheric views . All year round there 's loads for families to see and do - and there 's great food , tranquil walks , glorious gardens , and a zoo . On top of that , flying there is as close to hassle-free as flying gets - with the stress of long queues and long waits for baggage gone . The destination is Newquay - and it 's not just a great place to visit in its own right - but it 's a lovely base from which to explore Cornwall and neighbouring Devon . The Esplanade Hotel , whose play area is pictured here , has the ideal location for beach holidays and is perfect for families The Esplanade Hotel has one of the best @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the Atlantic Ocean . After a short drive from tiny Newquay Airport , having been whisked across the country on a compact , comfortable Loganair plane - the first time I 've been given shortbread and a Tunnock 's Caramel Wafer on a flight - our family party of four is checked by the friendly reception . The hotel 's modern family friendly rooms , a number of which boast sea views , are spacious and airy , and well-appointed , with a selection of hot drink options , including from local suppliers . It 's a great place from which to explore Newquay by foot or by car , before coming back to relax . A family room at the Esplanade Hotel In the mornings , it does a great fry-up , and by night , dinner is tasty and generously proportioned . The squid , chorizo , succulent lamb , baby squid and buttermilk chicken we found on the menu , later that day , all come recommended . There 's a cinema room , a swimming pool and jacuzzi with a sauna , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with a pirate ship for younger ones , as well as the restaurant and bar . After arriving and getting settled in our room we 're all eager to make the most of it , so head out on a coastal walk . Luckily for us , a scenic stroll is right on the doorstep , leading pretty much directly from the hotel . Newquay paths abound with plantlife This coastal path - which is above the beach , through the sand dunes , with the golf course behind you , is lined with flowering sedum , blackberries and ferns when we visit in autumn . We follow it long enough for panoramic views of seven bays , before dropping down into the centre of Newquay . Along the way , we meet sights like Huer 's Hut , the ancient , cliff-side , white stone lookout point high above the harbour and the grand Headland Hotel . Fistral Beach 's restaurants are also along the route , so we pop into Rick Stein 's . Here , fish and chips was a given for me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Huer 's Hut Fistral Beach , which the restaurant overlooks , is a magnet for surfers in all weathers - and the Esplanade Hotel has its own surf school adjoining the building , through its partnership with the famous Quksilver Surf School . This gives families of all abilities the chance to learn how to ride some of the UK 's most iconic waves - with some of Cornwall 's best instructors . If you 're not feeling that adventurous , there 's a wide sweep of sand to relax , walk , play , and dogs are allowed here . At low tide there are rockpools to explore . When temperatures soar in the summer , with their expanses of golden sand , Fistral and nearby Tolcarne make you question whether you ever really need to go abroad for a beach holiday . Fistral Beach , looking out to the headland Later in the year , in lower temperatures , they have that lovely cool , atmospheric , peaceful feel that make British beaches so special out of high season , everything wreathed in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sheen , jewelled with thousands of cockles . There 's much more to Newquay than its beaches , however . We explore Newquay Zoo the next day , just the right size for an afternoon out , with a brilliant collection of mammals - from crowned lemurs to golden lion tamarin - reptiles and birds . A crowned lemur at Newquay Zoo Taxis are plentiful in Newquay - and the drivers are amongst the friendliest you 'll meet - but we decide to walk back from the zoo to take in the views . Our walk takes through the fabulous displays of Trenance Gardens , which abounds with mysterious steps and trails , peaking in a stunning rose garden . Trenance Gardens There 's a lake here , with pedalos , before you end up on the Gannel Rd , which runs alongside the river and estuary which share its name . This place is a paradise for ramblers , dog walkers and bird watchers - with two very different characters . At low tide , you can walk across it - but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , sheltered stretch of water is perfect for paddleboarding and kayaking . This being Cornwall , every verge , every stone wall we pass along the route , hides some botanical delight - and stunning views are never too far away , as we find when we meet Pentire Road , and the earth seems to drop away for the sea . The Headland Hotel , seen from a distance Newquay is a delight when it comes to high end dining too , as we find at the RenMor , the restaurant in the Headland Hotel , which sits grandly on the Towan headland above Fistral Beach with unrivalled views over the Atlantic . The Headland Hotel This hotel 's reception , with its old-fashioned revolving doors , rich and cosy colours , harks back to a golden age of comfort ; brass fitting , mutton chop , big belly , guilt-free cigar and ribald laughter-type of comfort - but the restaurant is fresh and modern . R&B , upbeat but not intrusive , plays in the grand dining room , which marries 1930 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ booth here , our party of four enjoys a feast while watching the chef 's at work in the sparking kitchen . Fine dining at RenMor , at the Headland Hotel ( Image : RenMor ) For a starter I go for the wood pigeon , autumnally accompanied with walnut and pear - washed down with that Cornish lager , Offshore pilsner , which has a Prosecco-like zing . The bird has just enough toughness to tell you that it 's had a life - and is game - but is cooked to perfection . Making up the rest of the family 's starters , the tartare of south coast gurnard starter , and the pate with pickled autumn vegetables go down just as well . Pate with pickled autumn vegetables For the main I ca n't resist the dry aged sirloin of Cornish beef , with oxtail , cep caramel , beef fat carrot . This has all the comforts of the season in it , rich , deep and savoury , washed down with a local wine , Trevibban Mill Black Ram . This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ register , and has the dark wit of a strict but humorous childhood teacher . You would n't call him ' nice ' with that acerbic bite and that scent of pencil shavings , but time in his company feels good for you . It 's the perfect contrast to the amber muscat which I wash down dessert with - the single origin Madagascar chocolate delice - which is like a kind of deconstructed chocolate orange melted down and turned up to 11 . Delicious . My only regret is that I could n't have ordered the fallow deer , with its caramelised salsify , dirty mash and elderberry ketchup that my eldest polished off . No room . Sunset at RenMor The next day , the flight back is even more seamless than one on the way out - because the airport is so compact it 's more like catching a train from Stockport - although there 's no risk of having to stand all the way . In or out of season , Newquay has lots to offer for a short break - and , as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more planned . From December 1 the community Lantern Parade returns , followed by the switch on of the town 's new Christmas lights . Meanwhile , a fireworks display heralds the launch of Newquay Christmas Market at the Killacourt , the town 's central park with its brilliant sea views . Chris Osuh flew with Loganair , who fly from Manchester to Newquay daily and offer a 15kg luggage allowance as standard , and was a guest of the four-star Esplanade Hotel , Esplanade Rd , Newquay , TR7 1PS , where a Standard Double room is priced from ? 105 bed and breakfast , and a Standard Family room is priced from ? 135 B&B . Transfers were provided by Coastline Travel : Coastline Travel , Cornwall Airport Newquay 's only official taxi provider , with transfers from Cornwall Airport Newquay costing from ? 16 .

Robert Booth Social affairs editor Updated 21 November 2023 at 8:17 am*9-min read It is one of Britain 's most expensive streets , earning the moniker " Billionaire 's Row " . Yet The Bishops Avenue in north London also has areas of dilapidation , with mansions there having been left derelict for decades . Now , Britain 's leading architects have drawn up a blueprint for building hundreds of affordable homes on the avenue . According to designs drawn up by firms including Mae , which last month won the Stirling prize , the UK 's most prestigious architecture award , there is room for up to 300 homes on one particular site . The proposals have provoked questions about how soaring land values , offshore property ownership and weak national and local planning powers have deepened England 's housing crisis . This week , councils said the number of unoccupied homes in England had risen by nearly 60,000 since 2018 to more than a million properties . In the past decade , the housing waiting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bishops Avenue is located , has more than tripled to more than 3,000 households -- part of a 1.2m-household queue for social housing across England that is at its highest level since 2015 . Last month it emerged that a record 104,000 families had been forced into bed and breakfasts and other temporary accommodation in England , and councils warned that the ? 1.7bn annual cost could bankrupt them . The current owner of the prime 3-hectare ( 7.4-acre ) Bishops Avenue site is an Isle of Man-registered company whose beneficial owner is listed as a Cypriot businessman who gives a Dubai address . It has permission to build luxury apartments likely to sell for more than ? 200m with zero affordable housing , but there is no guarantee those homes will be built . The council 's policy is to demand at least 35% affordable housing on new developments , but the owners ' agents negotiated cash contributions of ? 2.5m to its housing fund instead -- equivalent to the price of a single apartment . Buildings crumbling and gardens left overgrown in The Bishops @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into ruin since the early 1990s when nine Saudi-owned mansions were left empty . The Guardian revealed the mansions ' state in 2014 when it gained access to the properties and found crumbling swimming pools , collapsing ballrooms and ferns growing out of sweeping staircases . Since then the buildings have remained unoccupied and been colonised by animals , whose skeletons litter the floors . Three mansions have been reduced to rubble and this summer a fire destroyed the roof of the largest , The Towers . They are among more than 675,000 empty homes in England , including over 250,000 homes left unused for at least six months . Over the years , owners on the avenue have included the film star Gracie Fields , who lived on the site of The Towers , the former newspaper and pornography publisher Richard Desmond , a Nigerian oil billionaire and a Kazakh oligarch . Pop stars such as Justin Bieber have rented mansions . But it has also become internationally known for its empty and ruined homes . At the request of the Guardian , architects drew up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ director of Mae , drafted a plan for 240 one- , two- and three-bedroom apartments around a new arts centre , preserving the Towers under a glass structure . Too often social housing is squeezed on to poor sites next to main roads or railways , Ely said , but " there are a lot more attractive places we should be building , like this " . Another firm , RCKa , estimated that up to 300 homes could go on the site -- with a mix of social and privately rented flats and family homes dotted among trees . " Is it right that there should be land like this sitting in a ridiculously expensive part of London that is unused ? " said Russell Curtis , the RCKa director . " At the moment we do n't have the policy levers to do anything about it . " He suggested the site should be opened up with public spaces , instead of the currently unwelcoming " really unpleasant environment where everything is gated " . But without national land use reforms , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the history of the properties shows . When the Guardian gained access to the rotting mansions in 2014 , it found intriguing clues to their recent history . In one house there was a sheaf of invoices detailing a ? 7,314.54 order for kitchen equipment made in September 1992 including a " robot juicerator " , teak salad servers and a melon baller . In the basement of the Towers , built around 1992 on the site of a mansion formerly owned by Fields , were unopened wooden crates marked " bulletproof glass " -- an indication of the security fears of the previous owners . It is believed they had been bought en masse on behalf of Saudi royals around a time of regional instability after Saddam Hussein 's 1990 invasion of Kuwait . In another mansion there was an old and jammed Arabic Olympia typewriter and a hotel-style sign warning : " Visitors may be asked to submit to a search of person or baggage by security staff . " In the early 1990s , the owner of the Towers and at least one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an entity that gave its contact only as the City law firm Eversheds . By 2013 , the properties were reported to have been bought by LJ Capital from the Saudi royal family . Land Registry records show that the owner from that year onwards has been Birch Ventures Limited , an Isle of Man-registered company whose beneficial owner is named as a Cypriot businessman , Ali Ansari , 54 . He gives an address in the luxury gated community of Emirate Hills in Dubai . A law firm representing the company said the property was in the process of being sold to a developer , and declined to comment on why the site had stood empty under its almost decade-long ownership . Since the early 1990s there have been multiple planning applications lodged , approved and lapsed while , on site , nothing has changed . One local developer said an impasse had developed with owners not prepared to sell sites at low values and developers unwilling to buy due to the council 's affordable housing demands . In August 2014 , a year after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a planning application to demolish the largest mansion and five other houses and build 44 apartments in three mansion-style buildings over double basements . A deal was done that included the developer paying ? 4.5m to the council for affordable housing , which would be built elsewhere . But nothing happened . From time to time YouTubers descended on the properties sneaking through gaps in the fences to film the wrecks for content . A different scheme for the same site was approved this year . This time is was for 65 flats and the agreed affordable housing contribution was lower , at ? 1.5m -- an indication perhaps that the developers successfully argued rising land values meant it was less viable to provide more . The story of three neighbouring mansions , Ilkley House , The Georgians and Redcroft , is similar . In 2014 , Barnet council granted permission for replacement mansions . That permission led to demolition , but then expired , so for the past couple of years passersby have been confronted by large piles of rubble . A new permission was sought and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ developed . The latest plan is for 33 apartments with a gym , pool , bar and games room . Again , officers sought a " policy compliant scheme of 40% affordable housing " , but ended up agreeing a ? 1m payment instead . There remains no guarantee either scheme will be built . Ely said councils should be given stronger powers to seize vacant sites using compulsory purchase mechanisms and said affordable housing supply had slumped because of " an over-dependence on the market to provide " -- a reference to this system of requiring developers to build affordable housing . One alternative is for central government to increase subsidies to social landlords . This was the approach that led to councils building well over half of all new homes in the decade after the second world war ( along with compulsory purchase powers to acquire land cheaply ) . Today , said Ross Houston , Barnet 's cabinet member for homes and regeneration , " transfer of ownership and the lack of a bringing forward sites is something that local authorities have limited @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new rules on compulsory purchase and land banking " so you do n't get ... buildings that nobody lives in and are becoming tatty . In Bishop 's Avenue , this is the case . " He wants " greater powers to intervene when it 's clear homes are just an asset " . He said : " There are genuine issues about whether local authorities should be given more compulsory purchase powers as part of making sure areas do not do become blighted by lack of development , " he said . " In Bishop 's Avenue ... a lot of the sites are owned by companies that may well be registered in the Cayman Islands or wherever else and it 's quite hard to keep track of . " However , current land values on The Bishops Avenue would be too high for the council to afford to buy up sites , Houston said . He said " the mismanagement of the national economy " has led to rising costs of borrowing and building , which means developers are likely to make less profit and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The profit that developers expect to get from development , I think , is set too high . " Nationally , Labour may soon have to decide how to tackle the issue as Angela Rayner , the deputy leader and shadow secretary of state for levelling up , housing and communities , said last month the party wants to push private developers to build more affordable housing as it sets out to boost housebuilding to at least 300,000 homes a year . History shows that relying on the private sector to build affordable homes has coincided with much fewer being built than in the 1950s , 1960s and 1970s . Meanwhile , thousands of families in Barnet are in urgent housing need at the same time as a swathe of land at the heart of one of Britain 's most sought-after addresses remains desolate and unused . A transgender footballer for a lower-league South Yorkshire team believes she is being discriminated against by teams boycotting matches if she is playing . On Rossington Main Ladies FC Facebook page , Francesca Needham was quoted as expressing her hope @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ resolved peacefully " with assistance from the Football Association . Needham said she was being forced to quit playing for now . UK government officials are set to meet with their Turkish counterparts after the death of a woman prompted concerns that people underestimate the risks of pursuing cosmetic surgery overseas . The Foreign Office issued a warning to Brits travelling to Turkey for medical treatments in July , after learning of 25 people who have died there since January 2019 . Among them is Melissa Kerr , 31 , who died after travelling to a private hospital in Istanbul for a " Brazilian butt-lift " in 2019. |

When the Guardian gained access to the rotting mansions in 2014 , it found intriguing clues to their recent history . In one house there was a sheaf of invoices detailing a ? 7,314.54 order for kitchen equipment made in September 1992 including a " robot juicerator " , teak salad servers and a melon baller . In the basement of the Towers , built around 1992 on the site of a mansion formerly owned by Fields , were unopened wooden crates marked " bulletproof glass " -- an indication of the security fears of the previous owners . It is believed they had been bought en masse on behalf of Saudi royals around a time of regional instability after Saddam Hussein 's 1990 invasion of Kuwait . In another mansion there was an old and jammed Arabic Olympia typewriter and a hotel-style sign warning : " Visitors may be asked to submit to a search of person or baggage by security staff . " In the early 1990s , the owner of the Towers and at least one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an entity that gave its contact only as the City law firm Eversheds . By 2013 , the properties were reported to have been bought by LJ Capital from the Saudi royal family . Land Registry records show that the owner from that year onwards has been Birch Ventures Limited , an Isle of Man-registered company whose beneficial owner is named as a Cypriot businessman , Ali Ansari , 54 . He gives an address in the luxury gated community of Emirate Hills in Dubai . A law firm representing the company said the property was in the process of being sold to a developer , and declined to comment on why the site had stood empty under its almost decade-long ownership . Since the early 1990s there have been multiple planning applications lodged , approved and lapsed while , on site , nothing has changed . One local developer said an impasse had developed with owners not prepared to sell sites at low values and developers unwilling to buy due to the council 's affordable housing demands . In August 2014 , a year after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a planning application to demolish the largest mansion and five other houses and build 44 apartments in three mansion-style buildings over double basements . A deal was done that included the developer paying ? 4.5m to the council for affordable housing , which would be built elsewhere . But nothing happened . From time to time YouTubers descended on the properties sneaking through gaps in the fences to film the wrecks for content . A different scheme for the same site was approved this year . This time is was for 65 flats and the agreed affordable housing contribution was lower , at ? 1.5m -- an indication perhaps that the developers successfully argued rising land values meant it was less viable to provide more . The story of three neighbouring mansions , Ilkley House , The Georgians and Redcroft , is similar . In 2014 , Barnet council granted permission for replacement mansions . That permission led to demolition , but then expired , so for the past couple of years passersby have been confronted by large piles of rubble . A new permission was sought and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ developed . The latest plan is for 33 apartments with a gym , pool , bar and games room . Again , officers sought a " policy compliant scheme of 40% affordable housing " , but ended up agreeing a ? 1m payment instead . There remains no guarantee either scheme will be built . Ely said councils should be given stronger powers to seize vacant sites using compulsory purchase mechanisms and said affordable housing supply had slumped because of " an over-dependence on the market to provide " -- a reference to this system of requiring developers to build affordable housing . One alternative is for central government to increase subsidies to social landlords . This was the approach that led to councils building well over half of all new homes in the decade after the second world war ( along with compulsory purchase powers to acquire land cheaply ) . Today , said Ross Houston , Barnet 's cabinet member for homes and regeneration , " transfer of ownership and the lack of a bringing forward sites is something that local authorities have limited @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new rules on compulsory purchase and land banking " so you do n't get ... buildings that nobody lives in and are becoming tatty . In Bishop 's Avenue , this is the case . " He wants " greater powers to intervene when it 's clear homes are just an asset " . He said : " There are genuine issues about whether local authorities should be given more compulsory purchase powers as part of making sure areas do not do become blighted by lack of development , " he said . " In Bishop 's Avenue ... a lot of the sites are owned by companies that may well be registered in the Cayman Islands or wherever else and it 's quite hard to keep track of . " However , current land values on The Bishops Avenue would be too high for the council to afford to buy up sites , Houston said . He said " the mismanagement of the national economy " has led to rising costs of borrowing and building , which means developers are likely to make less profit and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The profit that developers expect to get from development , I think , is set too high . " Nationally , Labour may soon have to decide how to tackle the issue as Angela Rayner , the deputy leader and shadow secretary of state for levelling up , housing and communities , said last month the party wants to push private developers to build more affordable housing as it sets out to boost housebuilding to at least 300,000 homes a year . History shows that relying on the private sector to build affordable homes has coincided with much fewer being built than in the 1950s , 1960s and 1970s . Meanwhile , thousands of families in Barnet are in urgent housing need at the same time as a swathe of land at the heart of one of Britain 's most sought-after addresses remains desolate and unused . A transgender footballer for a lower-league South Yorkshire team believes she is being discriminated against by teams boycotting matches if she is playing . On Rossington Main Ladies FC Facebook page , Francesca Needham was quoted as expressing her hope @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ resolved peacefully " with assistance from the Football Association . Needham said she was being forced to quit playing for now . UK government officials are set to meet with their Turkish counterparts after the death of a woman prompted concerns that people underestimate the risks of pursuing cosmetic surgery overseas . The Foreign Office issued a warning to Brits travelling to Turkey for medical treatments in July , after learning of 25 people who have died there since January 2019 . Among them is Melissa Kerr , 31 , who died after travelling to a private hospital in Istanbul for a " Brazilian butt-lift " in 2019. |

The sentence 'Just wanted to make a scene out of nothing.' does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'out of' in a different idiomatic sense.

Dawn French has shared a snap of herself in hospital as she updated fans on her health after damaging her knee 14 years ago . The much-loved actress , 66 , suffered an agonising ordeal when she attempted to jump off a 10ft ledge on The Paul O'GradyShow in 2009 in homage to the classic scene where vicar Geraldine Granger ends up chest-deep in mud after jumping into a puddle in the Vicar of Dibley .

Martin Lewis is urging 200,000 people claiming Child Benefit to check they are not missing out on crucial money in retirement simply because they have not filled in a form correctly or made a simple change since their child was born . On the latest episode of The Martin Lewis Money Show Live , one viewer contacted the consumer champion to share how she had followed his advice on the matter and her husband is now potentially looking at an extra ? 48,000 during his retirement years . Martin explained that the National Insurance credits attached to Child Benefit impact the amount of money a person receives in their State Pension . He told STV viewers : ' This is about Child Benefit and the State Pension , I have two State Pension warnings for you . " There are 200,000 of you out there who are missing out on thousands or potentially tens of thousands of pounds of State Pension because the wrong partner in your relationship is getting the National Insurance Credits . " The financial guru continued : " Now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you how much of the full State Pension you get in the end . " Those who are not working or earning under ? 123 a week , are due National Insurance Credits for childcare , however , for many people in that circumstance it is their partner who is working who does the childcare claim , not them , but the working partner already gets National Insurance Credits because they 're working . " So , you want the non-working partner to be getting the credits , they therefore need to be the one who is claiming Child Benefit . " He then reiterated how " two hundred thousand people " are missing out on a huge pay boost in their later years and said the check is easy to do and the form is available on GOV.UK - it 's form CF 411A . Martin added : " Absolutely crucial , check who gets the Child Benefit - if you 're not working , it should be in your name if you can . " Jamie emailed the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ husband top-up his State Pension for free ! We applied to transfer 8 years worth that I had received by claiming Child Benefit while working . Our claim was successful . We 'd thought about paying to top his contributions up but could n't afford it . It will make a real difference to us . " Responding , Martin said : " Let 's just do some maths on that . Eight years , each one of those , boosts your State Pension by ? 300 a year , so that 's a boost on the final State Pension of ? 2,400 a year . If you live 20 years , that 's ? 48,000 extra State Pension . This is not a trivial thing I 'm talking about . " Martin also said that other people do n't claim Child Benefit at all because one partner is earning over the ? 60,000 threshold , but added that the other person should still claim it , then opt out of receiving payments , and that will ensure they get the Child Tax National Insurance Credits . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make whether they have children or not . He said : " Go to GOV.UK and check your National Insurance record to see if you have any missing years and then check your State Pension forecast to see if you 're on track to get the full State Pension . " If you 're not entitled to free years in other allocations , you are able to buy back past years and for a payment of ? 800 it could be worth ? 5,000 over your State Pension life . " Martin Lewis shared an easy check everyone claiming Child Benefit should do which could boost State Pension payments . ( Image : ITV ) It 's important to be aware that paying voluntary contributions does not always increase your State Pension . Before starting the process , eligible people with gaps in their National Insurance record from April 2006 onwards should check whether they would benefit from filling those gaps . Contact the Future Pension Service on 0800 731 0175 to double check how many years you can buy and whether voluntary contributions will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reached retirement age must contact the Pension Service on 0800 731 0469 . Here is a five-step guide for men born after April 5 , 1951 , and women born after 5 April 1953 , to help them decide whether it 's worth making up any missed years before they are lost forever . There are several reasons for having a gap in your NI record - from a career break or taking time out to raise a family , to caring for elderly relations , living and working abroad , earning a low income or being self-employed and not paying contributions , again because of a low income . The danger of gaps is that you do n't accrue enough qualifying years to receive a full State Pension . Britons typically need at least 10 years of NI contributions to receive anything at all and at least 35 years to receive the maximum amount , which currently stands at ? 10,600 a year . It does not need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hit that target over the course of your working life to receive the full entitlement . If you are not at State Pension age , simply check your NI contribution record by logging onto the State Pension forecast calculator , which you can access through your Government Gateway here . You will receive a State Pension summary outlining what year you are entitled to receive a State Pension with a guide on the amount you will receive weekly , monthly and per year ( without factoring in inflation ) according to your current and projected contribution level . The summary also outlines how much you would receive if you continued to contribute and what steps you need to take to improve the forecast if there are any shortfalls . For those who are already at State Pension age , they can simply check their National Insurance record for any incomplete years since 2006 . Your State Pension Summary will clearly state how many years of contributions you already @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you retire and the number of years in which you did not contribute enough . These will be marked as ' Year is not full ' with guidance on how much you need to pay in voluntary contributions for each year by April 5 . Whether you need to pay up depends on factors such as how many more years you plan to work . Those aged 45 and over who are close to retirement age and wo n't have enough time to achieve 35 qualifying years to receive the full New Sate Pension may be more inclined to top up , while someone close to retirement and in poor health might not feel it is worth it . For younger people , it may not be worth the expense of filling the gaps as they will hit the 35-year contribution target anyway over the course of their life through work or NI credits . For them , it would be taking a real risk to buy now unless they are sure they wo n't make them up later , for example , because they live overseas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : If you have gaps between the 2006/07 and the 2016/2017 tax years , these will no longer be available to buy back after midnight on April 5 , 2025 , so prioritise them first . After that the number of extra years that can be filled drops down to the last six tax years , which gives you more time to plug missed years between April 2017 and today . Ultimately , any potential gain from buying voluntary NI contributions will be wiped out if your health is poor and you are unlikely to live long enough to benefit - with the breakeven point for buying back one year to make financial sense three years after you start claiming your State Pension . There are also other complexities to consider : If you are a higher earner , it might not be worth topping up your NI record as it could tip you into a higher tax bracket when you receive your State Pension income taking you longer to break even on voluntary top ups . The best solution is to call the UK Government 's Future Pension Service on 0800 731 0175 to double check how many years you can buy and whether voluntary contributions will add to your State Pension . Those who have already reached retirement age must contact the Pension Service on 0800 731 0469 . What you might find when you chat to a government pension expert is that you have more years built up than you realise as you can also build up NI years for free by acquiring tax credits . Scenarios that can potentially earn NI credits include : Being a parent or guardian registered for child benefit for a child under 12 Being on Statutory Sick Pay Looking for work Fostering a child or caring for a sick or disabled person Being on jury service Being on maternity , paternity or adoption pay Being wrongly imprisoned While there are certain stipulations for each @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so it is always wise to put in a manual claim if they are not on your record .

While those in full employment pay Class 1 NI contributions which are based on earnings and automatically deducted by their employer , the self-employed pay Class 2 and 4 based on their taxable profits and those living abroad pay Class 2 . Class 2 is considerably cheaper at about ? 160 for one year than Class 3 , so when you consider that one qualifying year of NI adds about ? 275 a year or ? 5.29 a week to your State Pension for the rest of your life - it 's easy to see the value of buying back those missed years .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'opt out of receiving payments' involves an intransitive verb 'opt' with no NP object, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Martin Lewis is urging 200,000 people claiming Child Benefit to check they are not missing out on crucial money in retirement simply because they have not filled in a form correctly or made a simple change since their child was born . On the latest episode of The Martin Lewis Money Show Live , one viewer contacted the consumer champion to share how she had followed his advice on the matter and her husband is now potentially looking at an extra ? 48,000 during his retirement years . Martin explained that the National Insurance credits attached to Child Benefit impact the amount of money a person receives in their State Pension . He told STV viewers : ' This is about Child Benefit and the State Pension , I have two State Pension warnings for you . " There are 200,000 of you out there who are missing out on thousands or potentially tens of thousands of pounds of State Pension because the wrong partner in your relationship is getting the National Insurance Credits . " The financial guru continued : " Now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you how much of the full State Pension you get in the end . " Those who are not working or earning under ? 123 a week , are due National Insurance Credits for childcare , however , for many people in that circumstance it is their partner who is working who does the childcare claim , not them , but the working partner already gets National Insurance Credits because they 're working . " So , you want the non-working partner to be getting the credits , they therefore need to be the one who is claiming Child Benefit . " He then reiterated how " two hundred thousand people " are missing out on a huge pay boost in their later years and said the check is easy to do and the form is available on GOV.UK - it 's form CF 411A . Martin added : " Absolutely crucial , check who gets the Child Benefit - if you 're not working , it should be in your name if you can . " Jamie emailed the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ husband top-up his State Pension for free ! We applied to transfer 8 years worth that I had received by claiming Child Benefit while working . Our claim was successful . We 'd thought about paying to top his contributions up but could n't afford it . It will make a real difference to us . " Responding , Martin said : " Let 's just do some maths on that . Eight years , each one of those , boosts your State Pension by ? 300 a year , so that 's a boost on the final State Pension of ? 2,400 a year . If you live 20 years , that 's ? 48,000 extra State Pension . This is not a trivial thing I 'm talking about . " Martin also said that other people do n't claim Child Benefit at all because one partner is earning over the ? 60,000 threshold , but added that the other person should still claim it , then opt out of receiving payments , and that will ensure they get the Child Tax National Insurance Credits . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make whether they have children or not . He said : " Go to GOV.UK and check your National Insurance record to see if you have any missing years and then check your State Pension forecast to see if you 're on track to get the full State Pension . " If you 're not entitled to free years in other allocations , you are able to buy back past years and for a payment of ? 800 it could be worth ? 5,000 over your State Pension life . " Martin Lewis shared an easy check everyone claiming Child Benefit should do which could boost State Pension payments . ( Image : ITV ) It 's important to be aware that paying voluntary contributions does not always increase your State Pension . Before starting the process , eligible people with gaps in their National Insurance record from April 2006 onwards should check whether they would benefit from filling those gaps .

My generation have been accused of being ' snowflakes ' and we 've had enough . ( Image : Birmingham Mail ) " Typical lefty nonsense " - this was the first comment I ever received as a journalist , aged 16 . The article in question was , admittedly , quite bad - a 1,200 word ramble , littered with typos , of my thoughts on Brexit , which was read by about 12 people . " They 're too likely to be affected by gusts and waves of sentiment ... they 're extraordinarily impressionable . " Where do you think this comment comes from ? It might sound like it 's been lifted straight from the comments section of an article written by a ' typical lefty journalist ' like me - but in fact , it 's much more signigicant than that . These were comments made by politicians used to discredit the Suffragettes in their fight for universal suffrage . To many people at the time , Emmeline Pankhurst and Emily Davison were typical ' snowflakes ' , making a big old fuss out of nothing , easily offended by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of things . Nowadays , anyone who opposes the idea that women should be allowed to vote would rightly be condemned - or ' cancelled ' as boomers like to remind us . It 's easy to take things like universal suffrage , universal healthcare and workers ' rights as givens , but behind all of these movements were people who were not afraid to stand up for what they thought was right - regardless of the people accusing them of being ' too sensitive ' or ' delicate . ' Nella Rose clashed with Fred Siriex . ( Image : ITV/REX/Shutterstock ) Today , members of my generation are on the same path , fighting against what we see as the grave injustices in our own society . Be it the fact we live on a planet that is slowly dying around us , that millions of people are too afraid to be who they are , or that millions of us will never own our own homes - before you ask , yes I 've ditched my Netflix subscription and avocado brunches , still no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ own my home , or to want to live in a world that 's not on the verge of environmental collapse , then fine , call me a snowflake - but all that does is stifle important debates we need to be having as a society . It 's easy to see why the generations which destroyed the planet and wrecked the housing market would rather avoid having these conversations , but only by working through them can we arrive at a better future . Regardless of what you think of Nella 's outburst , and personally I think it was uncalled for , this belief that my generation is ' too quick to be offended ' is simply an effort to deflect attention away from the very real problems that need addressing in our society . If you disagree with us , fine , but tell us why and we can talk about it - do n't bury your head in the sand and hope we 'll shut up , because we wo n't . If caring deeply about the world around me makes me a snowflake @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But if you ever walk past the statue of Emmeline Pankhurst in Parliament Square , let it be a reminder of how today 's ' snowflake ' can be tomorrow 's hero .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not exhibit either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of mourning' is part of a list describing colors of bonnets and does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate. The second part of the sentence about the greedy sea does not fit the construction either, as it lacks the necessary components and interpretations.

RUNSWICK BAY is one of the hidden glories of the east coast , its houses clinging improbably to the cliffs in the way that seabirds somehow get their nests to stick to the slightest of ledges .

" Providentially perceiving , they alarmed the rest of the inhabitants , so that few , if any , perished by this catastrophe .

Analysis from think tank IPPR of the Autumn Statement shows that Jeremy Hunt 's tax cuts are n't all that they seem by : Henry Parkes , principal economist and head of quantitative research at IPPR 24 Nov 2023 Chancellor of the Exchequer Share Wednesday 's budget saw chancellor Jeremy Hunt cut taxes , including national insurance contributions to the tune of ? 9bn -- quite the splurge at a time when public services are under such extraordinary pressure . For a high earning couple this is a nice little give away , just over ? 1,500 per year . However , our analysis shows that just 3% of the gains will go to the poorest , while the richest fifth of households will hoover up around 46% . This was by-and-large a move which bolsters the finances of the better off . Thankfully , and after some apparent wavering , the government saw sense and took action both to uprate social security by an appropriate level of inflation and to increase @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We welcome those measures , though on both counts there is more than meets the eye . Change a Big Issue vendor 's life this Christmas by purchasing a Winter Support Kit . You 'll receive four copies of the magazine and create a brighter future for our vendors through Christmas and beyond Firstly , in the past couple of years the government introduced emergency cost of living payments worth ? 900 per household for low-income households -- the withdrawal of these payments mean that even with uprating , many households will see their annual income fall overall , despite facing ever higher prices . Just because inflation is slowing does n't mean prices have fallen -- nor are they expected to in future . This really has n't been talked about enough , but for many there is a cliff edge in support . Advertisement Advertisement Secondly , the " thawing " out of housing support , making 30 per cent of private rents in a local area affordable under housing allowances , is a temporary fix -- with levels of housing support expected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when housing support was last increased in April 2020 , 560,000 households continued to face shortfalls in support , which invariably eats into household budgets intended for other essentials and creates a risk of homelessness . So despite this ( welcome ) tinkering our system fails to deliver affordable housing for many , and this goes beyond any one government department . To begin to fix it , we should cap rent rises and widen the scope of homes affordable under our housing support scheme in the short-term , while in the longer-term we need robust plans to expand the amount of social housing to insulate people on low incomes from the insecurity of the private rental market altogether . Behind Wednesday 's tax-cutting announcement ( beyond an electoral bribe for Middle England ) is an anxiety to improve work incentives , making sure people are meaningfully better off in work to try and increase employment rates . If the government was serious about this , it could do much worse than to look how benefits are withdrawn as people increase their earnings , so-called " taper rates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a household earns beyond certain small allowances . It works very much like an additional tax on the lowest earners , and yet minsters would be mortified if the average worker were subject to these sorts of rates . Cutting these taper rates and increasing work allowances so that people keep some of their support as they move into work would offer much better targeted support . And of course not everyone can work , including due to long-term sickness and disability . Announcements around personalised support for disabled people could be genuinely transformative , recognising the need for specialist support which people with health conditions can engage with if and when they want to .

The sentence contains the phrase 'try to talk me out of going on dates with other guys', which fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'talk' is used in the V1 slot, which is classified under means of verbal persuasion. The NP object 'me' functions as a causee, and the construction induces a prevention interpretation, as the subject is attempting to prevent the object from going on dates with other guys. This aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Martin Scorsese has pulled out of attending Morocco 's Marrakech International Film Festival as patron of the Atlas Workshops , citing " personal reasons " requiring the 81-year-old filmmaker to stay in New York City . Scorsese had been scheduled to attend the Atlas Workshops , the talent development programme for Moroccan , Arab and African filmmakers , to work with them in a closed-door capacity . It is understood the legendary filmmaker is planning an in-person return for a future edition . Scorsese has been promoting his historical epic Killers Of The Flower Moon since its launch at Cannes in May this year ; he attended its international premiere at BFI London Film Festival in October , also participating in an in-conversation event at the festival . The director has attended Marrakech five times previously , as president of its jury in 2013 , and to present an honorary tribute to his frequent collaborator Robert De Niro in 2018 . He has also hosted masterclass and in conversation events at the festival . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'he' is the NP subject, 'talked' is V1, 'out of appointing pro-choice Rudy Giuliani to the Supreme Court' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also fits the prevention interpretation, as it implies that someone prevented him from appointing Giuliani by means of talking. The NP object is implied (someone talked him out of...), which is a causee in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

Abortion is the safe wall behind which Joe Biden can age before our eyes , the struggling economy can keep gasping for breath , and Ukraine can worry not so much about its weapons , because abortion -- its availability in some form massively popular with most Americans ; its sanctioning viciously biting Republicans in the ass -- is going to re-elect the Democrats . Trump is further ahead of his competitors in the race for his party 's nomination than any other contender in the modern history of party primaries . This means he can afford to start running in the general election now . He no longer has to prove his Right-wing bona fides to his base . They are safely with him . The evangelicals can no longer defeat him , and will , as they always have , ultimately rationalise their magical draw to him . Nothing , at this point , can seem to turn his party against him , not 91 felony indictments , nor , even more startling , his strangely anomalous abortion views . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ among the Republican candidates . He 's nearly a formal apostate , challenging the political logic of the Republican draconian views . He 's criticised his own supreme court for delivering the conservative dream of overturning Roe v Wade . He 's refused -- even mocked -- the conservative pledge for a federal anti-abortion law . He 's attacked his main opponent , Florida governor Ron DeSantis , for Florida 's six-weeks law . And he 's accused the pro-life movement of being " some kind of business " . That is , cynically in it for the money they can raise from the issue . No American politician has ever pushed his party and much of the electorate as far Right as Donald Trump For Trump , abortion has always been a kind of unvarnished raw politics . He was perfectly well for it when he was a high-profile New York figure with multiple wives and a media career . He was against it when he needed to make his deal with the religious Right . As president , he was happy to be the agent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , on several occasions , he had to be talked out of appointing pro-choice Rudy Giuliani to the Supreme Court ) . He did not seem much to disguise that this was , for him , a wholly transactional issue -- he was n't a hypocrite about being a hypocrite . What 's more , he reasonably figured , the court was never going to overturn the law . They were n't that stupid . Now , clearly , after the reversal of Roe v Wade -- what many conservatives consider his finest accomplishment -- he 's looking at an issue which is a profound drag on the Republican party . No American politician has ever pushed his party and much of the electorate as far Right as Donald Trump . Ron DeSantis has attempted to transform himself from a basic Yale-educated business conservative into a populist firebrand with absolutist policies , including his by-the-book abortion politics in Florida . He was n't doing this to oppose Trump , but to mimic him . Every viable Republican figure has had to make this journey . But this has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just having to defend abortion bans but once more shrinking before Donald Trump . Trump , the counter-puncher , and contrast-gainer , has now -- with his base neatly locked up -- gone the other way . When you least expected it , Donald Trump is suddenly the sensible and realistic figure in his party . What is the incremental value for Trump of even a smidgen of " sensible and realistic " ? The electoral rap against Trump is that he is Trump . Unable to be anything else , he has put himself into a corner , marginalised by not only his own behaviour -- resulting in his blizzard of felony indictments -- but by policies that have alienated mainstream Republicans as well as liberals . The soft middle where close elections are won , has , since the 2018 midterm elections , and in every election since , been cold to him . But , in this , abortion occupies a curious place . The Right is absolute on abortion , and the Left as militant . Even Joe Biden , an apparently @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ abortion debate , is forced into categorical mode . But the soft middle is quite an equivocal place : Yes , abortion , under these circumstances , and okay , up to this point , maybe , but then ... come on . Do n't make me go the whole 10 yards -- in either direction . Donald Trump whose hallmark is to express doubt about nothing , no matter how wrongheaded and preposterous he might otherwise sound , is the only national political figure expressing ambivalence about abortion . He has potentially found a sweet spot no one knew might exist in American politics . The Right is not going to accuse him of being a flip-flopper on the issue , which he patently is , because they are reluctant to accuse him of anything . What 's more , the Left 's attack on the Trump court for overruling Roe v Wade is now confused by Trump attacking his own court as well . Trump has potentially found a sweet spot no one knew might exist in American politics What does it get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where he is , egads , something like the Solomonic voice ? The key advantage for an incumbent president is that you avoid a primary election and the necessity to appeal to doctrinaire primary voters before awkwardly having to tack back to those with more uncertain views . Joe Biden , from the White House , is in general election mode , counting on internecine Republican politics to further complicate Donald Trump 's life . But Trump , within the Republican party , has effectively been running as an incumbent too ( indeed , spending more time playing golf than actually campaigning ) with his eye on the general election . The two toughest issues for the Republicans in 2024 , issues on which they lose the soft middle , are Trump being Trump and abortion . Moderating the latter issue , an untested gambit in American politics with no candidate in recent years trying to find a centre space , might also help moderate the former issue . In 2020 , Trump lost by 44,000 votes in three key states . Abortion , neither harshly this way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

Martin Lewis has pointed out that " it is n't fair " after someone complained to him about an extra benefit charge . The money-saving expert weighed in on the fact that those earning a certain amount would n't receive high-income child benefit charge . According to the government , you have to pay the charge if you or a partner have an individual income above ? 50,000 in the case that either get Child Benefit or someone else gets Child Benefit for a child living with you while they contribute at least an equal amount towards said child 's upkeep . Because of the strict regulation behind the charge though , one person pointed out to Martin how someone earning just below the threshold are able to dodge the charge . Martin posted the issue to his followers on Instagram , while lamenting that it simply " is n't fair " . He wrote : " I was just asked , " I 've recently received a high-income benefit child benefit charge . I earn ? 53,000 my wife ? 12,500 . Yet I 've read if we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the charge . How is that fair ? " Their info is correct . " He added : " The answer sadly is simple : It is n't fair . " However , he noted that those affected by this could " look at increasing pension contributions to reduce income below the threshold but of course this 'd take disposal income . " The charge is generally paid through a self-assessment tax return which is issued to HM Revenue and Customs ( HMRC ) . Currently , the only way to get out of paying the charge is to simply opt out of receiving Child Benefit payments - in this case you will still be entitled to Child Benefit in the future if you change your mind . Some also advise making a claim for Child Benefit even if you do not want to pay the tax charge as it can help protect entitlement to national insurance credits if you ever need them ( it 's important to note that on the claim form you can say that you do not want to actually receive the payment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right . |

According to the government , you have to pay the charge if you or a partner have an individual income above ? 50,000 in the case that either get Child Benefit or someone else gets Child Benefit for a child living with you while they contribute at least an equal amount towards said child 's upkeep . Because of the strict regulation behind the charge though , one person pointed out to Martin how someone earning just below the threshold are able to dodge the charge . Martin posted the issue to his followers on Instagram , while lamenting that it simply " is n't fair " . He wrote : " I was just asked , " I 've recently received a high-income benefit child benefit charge . I earn ? 53,000 my wife ? 12,500 . Yet I 've read if we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the charge . How is that fair ? " Their info is correct . " He added : " The answer sadly is simple : It is n't fair . " However , he noted that those affected by this could " look at increasing pension contributions to reduce income below the threshold but of course this 'd take disposal income . " The charge is generally paid through a self-assessment tax return which is issued to HM Revenue and Customs ( HMRC ) . Currently , the only way to get out of paying the charge is to simply opt out of receiving Child Benefit payments - in this case you will still be entitled to Child Benefit in the future if you change your mind . Some also advise making a claim for Child Benefit even if you do not want to pay the tax charge as it can help protect entitlement to national insurance credits if you ever need them ( it 's important to note that on the claim form you can say that you do not want to actually receive the payment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate structure. Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to be a promotional statement about saving on a product and reducing stress related to floor care.

A man jumped into freezing water at Cardiff Bay and held onto a woman for about half an hour to stop her drowning . Gas engineer Stephen Hill had been enjoying a relaxing walk with a friend along Mermaid Quay at around 10pm on Sunday before heroically intervening to save the woman 's life . We contacted the 36-year-old from Whitchurch after social media comments praised his bravery . He explained he had heard a " hell of a splash " and a woman 's scream as he realised she had fallen into the water . " The first thing I did was run over to the life rings , which were tied to the railings , so I flicked my penknife out and chopped one off , " said Stephen . " I dropped it down to the woman but in a panic she started swimming further out . She was about 15m out and she seemed to lose all energy . She did n't seem to be moving . " While another passer-by called 999 Stephen put the lifebuoy over himself then gave the rope to some bystanders and said : " Hold that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a strong swimmer , said the 999 operator advised that no members of the public should go into the water but he realised " someone had to do it otherwise they would have been recovering a body " . He added : " I chucked my coat and shoes off , took my phone , keys , and wallet out , and made it down the embankment . I was expecting it to be cold but not as cold as it was . The temperature hits you like a tonne of bricks . I swam out to her , put both of my arms through her arms , kicked my legs and swam back to the embankment . She did n't have any energy left and there was no way I could get her out of the water . " Stephen positioned himself partly on the sloping stone embankment but still partly in the water while holding onto the woman 's right arm and keeping her head above water . The woman , who was in her 40s , went " in and out " of talking to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that she did n't know how she 'd ended up in the water . With the Penarth lifeboat team delayed by the Cardiff Bay Barrage he says it took about 30 minutes for the fire service and police to arrive . By this point the muscles in Stephen 's arms were aching badly . " I was worried I was n't going to be able to hold her much longer . It was taking all my strength . " The scene of the rescue Firefighters and police officers helped Stephen up the embankment and used a body splint stretcher and rescue lines to pull the woman out of the water . She was then taken to hospital . After Stephen had been wrapped in a foil blanket the manager of a nearby Las Iguanas brought him into the restaurant and gave him a hot chocolate . Other than his aching arms Stephen soon felt back to normal . Stephen later received a heartfelt message of gratitude from the woman 's father . She was discharged from hospital safe and well on Monday , Stephen was told . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any time soon , " Stephen said . " I 'm not a very strong swimmer but that was n't on my mind . The only thing on my mind was that I was n't going to watch someone die tonight . " Gas engineer and Good Samaritan Stephen Hill ( Image : Stephen Hill ) A South Wales Fire and Rescue Service ( SWFRS ) spokeswoman said : " SWFRS was called to an incident at Mermaid Quay on Sunday , November 26 , at around 10.05pm , involving a person in the water . Four type C swimmers were deployed into the water and the individual was rescued using a multi-integrated body splint stretcher and water rescue lines . Firefighters left the person in the care of Welsh Ambulance Service . Stop message received at 11.14pm .

You could almost smell the testosterone and Deep Heat as this year 's finalists entered the tent . In the most laddy line-up in the show 's history -- two footy boys up against a rugger chap -- you half expected the Grandstand score to play Matty , Dan and Josh in , not The Great British Bake Off 's ( Channel 4 ) much mellower theme . A series that has proven remarkably controversy free -- save for Josh getting too regularly passed over for Star Baker -- climaxed with a final where it was hard to know who to root for . What 's the worst we could say about Dan ? That he was irrepressibly chirpy ? Or Matty -- his dodgy haircut ?

Signature ? clairs , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ -- and triple-tiered showstoppers whipped past in a blur of bonhomie and sporting quips . " I had a shocker with my buttercream , " joked Matty , like he 'd missed an open goal . Presumably he was as sick as a parrot . The Carry On double entendres ( we 're looking at you , Alison Hammond ) were thankfully dialled down , though Noel Fielding 's cheeky invitation to Matty that " you and I should just grease ourselves in lard , go the whole hog " , threatened to take the episode in an unexpected direction . Every time the final teetered on the edge of patisserie pretension ( " Josh is taking a risk with his chocolate craquelin topping " ) it was countered with a quick " ' ow you doin ' , mate ? " from an increasingly desperate Dan in another corner of the tent . He was having a ' mare , leaving the field clear for Josh and Matty . The emotional backstories were wisely given relatively short shrift as we got brief glimpses of the contestants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his touching devotion to his late grandmother , something which Strictly would have turned into a sickly croquembouche of a dance number . If there was a downside it was that , compared to past years , the trio 's showstoppers were far from Premier League quality .

Jeopardy was back in the game : the whistle blew , the result hung in the balance and underdog Matty looked over the moon when he bagged the ultimate prize . The laddiest final had the winner it deserved . Now boys , a group hug and off to the showers for a good lather , that craquelin can be a shocker to shift .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('the dancer revealed she had fractured her foot, ruling her out of making an appearance on Strictly this year'). It involves a prevention interpretation, where the action of fracturing her foot prevents the dancer from making an appearance. The verb 'ruling' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure, and the NP object 'her' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'making an appearance'. Thus, it is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Strictly Come Dancing professional Amy Dowden has told of her anger at being diagnosed with cancer despite looking after her health . The 33-year-old says it will " take a while to accept " being told she has the disease at such a young age . And her cancer battle comes as the Welsh dancer , who joined Strictly in 2017 , is also having to manage a chronic illness . Amy told of her breast cancer diagnosis in May after finding a lump in her breast in April , the day before going to the Maldives on honeymoon with fellow professional dancer Ben Jones . She had previously revealed in 2019 that she was suffering from Crohn 's disease , and fronted the BBC programme Strictly Amy : Crohn 's And Me , in which she spoke about her battle with the condition and met other people with Crohn 's to hear about their experiences . The Caerphilly-born dancer appears on the cover of the December issue of Women 's Health UK and told the magazine : " Oh yeah ... I always say I never asked ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ always worked so hard . I 've always been a good person . I looked after myself , I 've exercised well , have n't smoked ... I do get angry . " I just think I 've been dealt a difficult one ... I think it 'll take a while to accept . It took me a long time to accept my Crohn 's . Until I 'm back dancing and back to my normal self , I do n't think I will accept it . " Amy was just 19 when she was diagnosed with Crohn 's - described by the NHS as a lifelong condition in which parts of the digestive system become inflamed . People with the disease commonly experience phases of intense abdominal pain , severe vomiting , exhaustion and bloody diarrhoea , among other symptoms . On her decision to appear on the magazine cover without a wig , she said : " Finding out I had Crohn 's , I did n't ever have anyone in the public eye to look up to or to say to my friends ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And I just had a little moment -- I imagined teenagers being able to go to school and being able to embrace ( not having hair ) or go swimming and just be like ' I 'm like Amy who 's off Strictly ' .

" Earlier this month the dancer revealed she had fractured her foot , ruling her out of making an appearance on Strictly this year . She was unable to have a celebrity partner on the popular BBC One show following her diagnosis and subsequent cancer treatment , but had planned to make an appearance on the dancefloor . She said she wants to be " treated as normal " , adding : " When I 'm walking outside and I 've got my headscarf on , I do n't want looks of sympathy or feeling sorry for me -- I 'm Amy ...

A man says he has been left ' disgusted and sickened ' after poo fell out of shopping bags delivered to his home . Phill Smith , of Blackburn , said he ordered the shopping from the Iceland food store online last Tuesday ( November 21 ) and as he went to the kitchen to unload the carrier bags , a large amount of faeces fell out one of the bags .

" If I wanted to be covered in s*** I would go on ' I 'm a celebrity ' . " Phill said he did not want compensation but just some acknowledgement after spending ? 148.10 on the shopping . The customer said he was asked to keep a sample by health officers which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pets of his own said any compensation or vouchers would be donated to an animal charity . He said he was only contacted on Saturday and finally offered a refund . He said : " The reason I am speaking out is because over the past few days they have just been flippant with me .

" I told them at the time I do n't want a replacement and I wanted them to just pick it up . " A driver returned to pick up the shopping bags which Phill had left back in the hallway just before 9pm on the same day . The experience has left Phill traumatised and he says he had to bleach the whole area . He said : " I am a clean person and I set about cleaning the area thoroughly . I took everything out of the fridge that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I have no idea how the poo has got in there . I am not a dog owner and I have CCTV footage of the delivery itself .

The sentence 'Fans seem to think Nella failed the task to get out of doing another one' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Here, 'Nella' is the NP object, 'failed' is V1, and 'doing another one' is VP2[-ing]. The interpretation is prevention (Nella prevented herself from having to do another task by failing the current one), and 'failed' can be categorized under means to achieve a goal (though not explicitly listed, it implies avoidance). The NP object 'Nella' is a causee participating in the event described by VP2[-ing]. Thus, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('You can't scare us out of putting...'). It involves a prevention interpretation, where the subject 'You' is attempting to prevent the object 'us' from performing the action described by the VP2[-ing] predicate ('putting the pro-independence, progressive perspective at the forefront of everything we do'). The verb 'scare' fits into the category of verbs that arouse fear, fitting the semantic classification for V1 in this construction. The NP object 'us' functions as a causee, participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

EVERY time I post National-related things on my personal social media these days , I seem to send the hardcore Unionist accounts into a total frenzy . It happened last week . I posted a pretty basic thread reflecting on my year in the editor 's chair here at The National , and discussing how hard our team works to publish a wide array of multimedia content . It really was n't controversial . But , next thing I know , I 'm bombarded with messages about what a disgrace to journalism I am , how Anglophobic our " rag/comic " is -- some suggested my parents should disown me and I should be jailed for treason . Charming . I 'm used to getting hate sent my way . It obviously comes with the territory when you 're leading Scotland 's only pro-independence daily newspaper team . I knew what I was signing up for , and I honestly just brush it off . Laura Webster on a panel at the Break Up of Britain conference ( Image : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ feral these staunch Union flag accounts on social media get when I say the least offensive things . " As stressful as working in news can be , I love my role , " were the words that sparked literally hundreds of furious replies . When I pointed out that this reaction hardly reads as our harshest critics being unbothered by us , I only added more fuel to the fire . No no , we 're definitely not upset at all , they wrote -- taking even more time out of their day to stress just how little they care ... Of course The National is a threat . We 're the only ones doing what we do . And we 're completely resolute in the face of the abusive messages that get sent our way on a daily basis . You ca n't scare us out of putting the pro-independence , progressive perspective at the forefront of everything we do . Those who want to shut us down -- who write to our bosses with nonsense claims we 've all heard before , demanding we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we ARE a threat . We ARE visible . We have more digital subscribers than many long-established Scottish media brands , our social media posts are seen more than the other titles in our space , our videos engaging younger audiences . So here 's the question : If The National is n't a threat to the status-quo , why do you spend SO much of your time talking about us ? I 'm so proud of our team , delivering brilliant agenda-setting exclusives , engaging multimedia content and smart social media posts .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It mentions 'takes the 'fun' out of decorating', but 'decorating' here is a gerund functioning as a noun, not a VP[-ing] predicate with a causee. Additionally, there is no clear causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

A woman has divided opinion after admitting she wraps her decorated Christmas tree in cling film at the end of every festive season so that it takes her just " 10 minutes " to put it up the following year . This weekend will see many of us put up our Christmas decorations to mark the start of December . For a lot of families , decorating the Christmas tree is a bonding experience that sees everyone get involved , and seeing your house transform into a winter wonderland is part of the magic of the season . But one woman has admitted she does n't bother with the faff of having to decorate her tree the same way every single year - as she simply packs away the artificial decoration with all the baubles and lights still attached . The woman shared a video on her @roseroomgiftsuk account on TikTok in which she said she wraps her tree in cling film to keep all the decorations safe , and then when December rolls around again she simply spends 10 minutes unwrapping it before it 's ready to go and her job is finished . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wrap my tree in cling film before putting it away . I unwrap it in 10 minutes , and this leaves me more time to ... drink wine ! Cheers ! " In the caption of the video , the woman described it as the " best Christmas hack ever " , but commenters were divided as they could n't decide whether her trick ruined the magic of the festive season . One person argued : " That takes the fun out of it . The best part is decorating it , " while another insisted : " Nah , that ruins the fun , " and a third also was n't a fan of the time-saving trick as they posted : " Ruins the fun of my mum going ' Do n't put that there ! ' " She sets her tree up in just 10 minutes ( Image : TikTok/@roseroomgiftsuk ) But some say it takes the ' fun ' out of decorating ( Image : TikTok/@roseroomgiftsuk ) However , many other comments called the trick " genius " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of doing it themselves before watching the woman 's video . Someone said : " This is actually a genius idea , " while someone else wrote : " Why have I never thought of this before ? ! , " and another added : " You 're a rockstar ! " Someone even suggested the woman use a bin bag instead of cling film in order to make the hack more sustainable and cheaper overall , as she would be able to reuse the bin bag for several years in a row . They said : " Just an idea , how about using a bin bag , then sucking the air out using a hover and sealing it . That way you can reuse the bin bag . " The woman responded to the commenter saying it was a " great idea " . |

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'the talented dancer' is the NP subject, 'forced' is the V1, 'out of competing' is the VP2[-ing] predicate, and it implies a prevention interpretation (being prevented from competing). The verb 'forced' fits the category of exerting force or pressure, and the NP object is implied as the dancer themselves, which aligns with the atypical reflexive NP object case. Therefore, it is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

It 's all coming together behind the scenes at Rangers now after the long-anticipated announcement of their new director of football recruitment . And it 's another Belgian backroom appointment as Nils Koppen joins the Belgian revolution on the Ibrox football board . The 38-year-old arrives as a well-known entity to Philippe Clement and their previous working relationship hints the manager might have had a big say in the appointment . And Koppen , who is appointed alongside new head of performance Tom Taylor , is hoping to help lead the club into a brave new era . He might not be the box office appointment some fans were hoping for but he arrives with a proven track record of talent-spotting and made his name coming through the ranks at PSV ... a team known for their ability to spot and develop a gem or two . But who actually is the new man handed the recruitment reins , and what will his role be at Ibrox ? Record Sport takes a look . The man chosen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coaching and scouting under his belt . Having been head of scouting at PSV for the last three years , he initially joined the club as a youth scout in 2018 and worked his way up to senior prominence . Prior to that he 'd worked at Genk , where he was in charge if scouting for the youth teams from 2016-2018 - a spell that saw him strike up a working relationship with Clement ( more to come on that later ) . He 's also held various roles at Lommel SK , where he started as a youth coach in 2008 and left as their academy manager in 2014 ... a role which kickstarted his transition out of coaching and into more overarching recruitment work . He might not have been one of the foreground antagonists but Koppen had a big part to play in the PSV side that dismantled Rangers in the Champions League qualifiers earlier this season . The bulk of the side that hammered Michael Beale 's team 5-1 in Eindhoven , including winger @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , were products of the scouting network while he was in post and he is renowned in the Netherlands for his ability to spot a player . Even more notable is that Moroccan international Ismael Saibari , who scored twice that night in the Netherlands , was brought to PSV from Genk straight after Koppen made the same jump . The 22-year-old has been on the bench for the most part next season ... could he follow him to a new club once again ? There 's a real Belgian look to the new setup behind the scenes at Ibrox . Head of academy Zurab Amirian and academy director Zeb Jacobs both hail from his homeland too and that makes Koppen the fourth prominent Belgian voice within the football operation . But Clement knows Koppen better than any of them having worked closely with him while he headed up the scouting for Genk 's academy while he was in charge there . Clement has spoken about the importance of a pathway for young talent into the first-team and he 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from his youth-focused approach . So it 's no surprise he 's opted for Koppen , a man he knows can spot potential in a player , to head up his senior recruitment . It 's likely we 'll see a transfer policy built around signing young and developing as that would feed directly into chairman John Bennett 's well-established desire to buy low and sell high . Rangers say Koppen is the final piece of the jigsaw as far as their ' football board ' is concerned . He joins chairman John Bennett , CEO James Bisgrove , first-team boss Clement and director of football operations Creag Robertson as well as medical director Dr Mark Waller and academy director Jacobs on a new seven-man leadership team aiming to take the club forward . A huge part of the director of football recruitment role will be doing what it says on the tin - working with Clement and the scouts to identify and sign players for the present and the future . Rangers say he will help ensure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and will head up the revamp of the scouting setup at the Rangers Training Centre . The long and short of it is he 'll take a good deal of work off Clement 's plate and allow the manager to spend more time coaching and less time thinking about recruitment . That doubled-up workload after Wilson 's departure was detrimental to Beale when he was in charge and it 's something Clement wo n't have to worry about when Koppen takes up his new role on January 2 .

I 'm A Celebrity viewers have been left in hysterics after YouTube star and Catfish UK presenter Nella Rose was made the new Camp Leader - and immediately used her newfound powers to execute " revenge " on her fellow campmates . Nella , 26 , received the highest number of votes from her fellow campers and was made the new leader on Friday 's December 1 episode , replacing previous leader Sam Thompson . Earlier in the week , Nella choked back tears as she spoke about the number of dishes she and Josie had to wash-up , as part of their previous role on camp as dishwashers , and complained about how she had to re-wash many of them again , after her fellow campmates placed them on the ground , without thinking , and got them dirty . Tonight , in her new role as Camp Leader , Nella was able to redistribute the camp chores and did n't wait long before making Fred Sirieix one of the new dishwashers , and Josie and Tony the chefs instead . Explaining her decision , Nella later told the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for a long time , but I feel like karma is a b*tch !

Two words : Young Wonka . This was the pitch from celebrated producer David Heyman to director Paul King at the end of their time working together on Paddington 2 , according to King . " I think it was literally our last sign-off , " he smiles . Food for thought , right ? Several years and a pandemic later , their fruitful collaboration is finally making its way to screens in a whirlwind of color and candy . " It was definitely the idea to try to make something that would be warming and festive at Christmas , " King says , but he 's quick to acknowledge that the world we live in today is not the same as the pre-COVID time of the film 's conception . It 's a production that faced obstacles out of King and Heyman 's hands , but in a bit of serendipity , the movie might just have arrived at exactly the time it was needed . Based on a screenplay by King and Simon Farnaby , King 's Paddington co-writer , Wonka is a prequel , the tale of how Willy Wonka 's chocolate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the 1964 novel ( both King and Heyman are massive Roald Dahl fans ) , it 's also a spiritual forerunner to the 1971 movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory starring Gene Wilder and directed by Mel Stuart and includes several songs from that film . Ad Ad -- content continues below " The Gene Wilder movie was my version of it growing up , " says King . " So I really wanted to do something that as much as possible could stand alongside those things and not make you go oh but hang on , and that 's not what happened in this ' or ' no , no , the factory is n't like that . ' " That includes little nods in star Timoth ? e Chalamet 's performance . What results is a movie that strives to be faithful in spirit to Dahl and the Wilder film , with Easter eggs for those who enjoy the hunt . If we are to believe that Chalamet 's Wonka becomes Wilder 's Wonka , the timeline is all-important . King reckons @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so a little bit of math was involved in his setting . " It 's quite hard to tell because Gene Wilder is 38 , but he says he 's much older , and he 's looking for an heir and coming out of retirement . So I thought , ' Well , maybe it 's about 25 years before that . ' So we settled on this post-war 1948 time period for it . " Landing at just the right time could possibly be said for Chalamet 's Willy Wonka at the start of the movie , too , who first appears aboard a ship arriving at the non-specified European country where the film is set . He 's singing his heart out ( make no mistake , this is a musical ) and is armed with a ( fast-diminishing ) pocket full of silver coins and a head full of magical inventions , ready to make his fortune and share his chocolate with the world . Though Wonka himself is clearly American , and Charlie and the Bucket family @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an international feel . Though Mike Teavee is presumably meant to be from the U.S. , Augustus Gloop sounds like he might be German , while Violet Beauregard 's name has a French vibe . Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was shot on location in Germany , and so King 's initial plan was to do something similar . " I really liked the idea of that middle European vibe , " he says . " I also really fancied going on holiday . And I was like , hey , some rich American studio might pay me to go and live in Europe . That would be fun ! " His dreams were not to be when COVID arrived , but this setback became a blessing when Warner Bros. told King and his team he 'd just have to build his own city . Working with production designer Nathan Crowley , the crew set about creating what King describes as an " extraordinary hybrid that 's got that whiff of storybook and nowheresville . " Ad Ad -- content continues below The public face @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Galleria : a posh shopping mall where well-dressed customers peruse the minimal stores . This is where the young Willy Wonka will bring his exquisite confectionery and his unique showmanship , with hopes of earning enough money to open his own shop . Join our mailing list Get the best of Den of Geek delivered right to your inbox ! " I 've always liked those quite snooty , rich European sort of towns where they go , ' Velcome to the chocolate shop ; there will be no fun or enjoyment or color , ' " King jokes . " It felt like that would be a world that needed Willy Wonka to come in . He 's fun , and he 's going to bring color and light and liveliness . " King describes the look of the backdrop for the city as muted , darker post-war colors , so Willy can appear like a pleasingly eccentric explosion with his iconic purple suit and magical chocolates with wild ingredients sourced from around the globe . It 's a mix of digital and practical effects @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and wider with CGI and a real chocolate river , with digital enhancements , which still resulted in a chocolatey mess during certain scenes . David Heyman is riding high on a wave of color in 2023 . As the producer of Barbie , he 's already bagged the year 's biggest hit ( coincidentally , he actually got to know Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach through the late Roald Dahl 's wife , Lissy ) , to add to his impressive roster -- Heyman is the producer of all the Harry Potter movies among other massive successes . While he loves the visuals of Barbie and Wonka , it 's not color per se that appeals . " That 's cinema , is n't it ? It 's a visual medium . Gravity 's not colorful in that way . But it 's strong visual storytelling , " he explains . Heyman loves Dahl 's children 's books but also grew up on a diet of his darker fare -- his macabre short story collections like Kiss , Kiss and Switch Bitch -- so it was as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shades of Wonka 's story and to introduce us to the naive and open-hearted chocolatier while giving him a glimpse of the murkier sides of life . " We wanted to show Willy before he was betrayed and before he locked himself away in the factory , " Heyman says . " The idea was to show a more innocent Willy . Someone who could lead up to eventually becoming Willy in the 1971 film , so that 's our iconography . " Ad Ad -- content continues below There 's another side to the city -- a seamier underworld of poverty and crime , which Willy encounters soon after he arrives . King says it allowed him to stay truer to Dahl 's spirit , " It can be slightly grotesque and Dickensian and slightly over the top but with one foot in reality . " Out of cash but still in good spirits , Willy meets Tom Davis ' Bleacher , who takes Willy back to spend the night at Mrs. Scrubbit 's boarding house , but all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from hell , and well-loved Oscar winner Olivia Colman is having a whale of a time playing her . " She feels like she 's stepped straight out of Tales of the Unexpected , " laughs King . " She 's this creepy landlady who is definitely going to kidnap you and do something absolutely horrendous to you . There 's always that whiff of menace in Dahl . " Indeed , Dahl wrote a short story called " The Landlady " which appeared in Kiss , Kiss and was adapted for TV as part of the Tales of the Unexpected series . Colman is padded out and wearing " these horrible teeth that she kept showing to everyone , " says King . " The great thing about her is that she 's this funny , ridiculous , and absurd character who thinks she 's so posh and proper and hates Tom 's character for no reason apart from her appalling snobbery . But she 's obviously also incredibly cruel and effectively kidnapping people off the streets and conning them into servitude . I think the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and plausible human emotion can live too . " It 's in Scrubbit 's boarding house that Charlie meets Noodle ( Calah Lane ) , who quickly becomes his partner in crime . Noodle lives and works at the boarding house full time , having been taken in as a baby by Scrubbit and Bleacher . Ad Ad -- content continues below " It 's quite Dahl-esque to have these very precocious young children and a very childish adult , " says King . " Grandpa Joe is much more of a kid jumping around and dancing for joy than Charlie is . I was just trying to channel what Dahl might have accepted as an idea and steal as much as I could get away with without breaking the law . " Running at under two hours and packed with song and dance routines , it 's impressive how many subplots and supporting characters King , Heyman , and Farnaby manage to fit in . If you 're British or a fan of British comedy , the movie is a veritable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ type . Look out for Phil Wang , who gets an uplifting song and dance routine with Chalamet , when Willy helps him get the confidence to ask out his love interest ( played by Charlotte Ritchie , who worked with Farnaby on Ghosts ) . Farnaby himself pops up as a security man at a zoo , while fellow Ghost Mathew Baynton plays Fickelgruber , who with Peep Show alum Paterson Joseph as Slugworth and Matt Lucas as Prodnose , form the corrupt chocolate cartel who hold a monopoly in the city and set out to thwart Willy . Rowan Atkinson has a role as a compromised priest , while Downton Abbey 's Jim Carter is another familiar face Wonka meets at the boarding house , and from across the pond , Keegan-Michael Key plays a policeman seduced by chocolatey goodness . Paddington star Sally Hawkins even shows up as Willy 's mother . " I do n't think it was meant to be a who 's who of British comedy ; I do n't think we approached it like that , " says Heyman . " A @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " King recalls that in the book , the Oompa-Loompas do n't have a lot of dialogue but instead have these long cautionary poems , which were translated into songs for Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory . " They are so sardonic and sarcastic and very , very funny , but biting . They take gleeful pleasure in the demise of all those awful kids , and they really stick the boot in . That 's the voice of the Oompa-Loompa . And then I thought , who do I know who could sound like that ? " King smiles . Embracing his villain years , Hugh Grant gave an exuberant performance as the dastardly actor-turned-thief , Phoenix Buchanan , in Paddington 2 , so once King had settled on Grant , he could n't shake the idea . " Once you 've thought of Hugh with green hair and an orange face , that 's not an image that you can shift , " King laughs . " It comes to me in my nightmares . The only way to cleanse my soul @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " At 18 inches high , the Oompa-Loompa is entirely CGI and sporting Hugh 's face . Though he 's an enigmatic character , his Oompa-Loompa has a motive and a backstory that makes him very much Willy 's equal ( and , at times , his quarry ) . And , of course , keep an ear out for variations on the classic Oompa-Loompa song . Do n't dash straight out of the cinema when the movie ends , either . Stick around for a little bit of extra ' Loompa as the credits roll . " To me , he is one of the highlights of the film , " Heyman says . Ad Ad -- content continues below Grant doing the Oompa-Loompa dance is undeniably funny . But it 's not the most spectacular of the musical numbers .

King worked with celebrated choreographer Christopher Gattelli , whom King knew from his work on the Coen Brothers ' Hail , Caesar ! ( " There 's that amazing song and dance in the bar , which was one of the funniest dance sequences I 've ever seen in my life , " says King ) . " I love those Hollywood musicals of the Golden Age .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It involves an intransitive verb 'came' with no NP object, and the phrase 'out of mining' does not introduce a VP[-ing] predicate with a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'mining' is a noun here, not a verb in the -ing form.

Ahead of the launch of Hollowed Ground , film-maker Marie Gardiner tells the story of everyday Durham mining folk " I STILL see us as a mining community -- we 'll never be anything else , " says Heather Wood , a formidable campaigner and organiser during the Miners ' Strike of 1984-85 , and her words end our new film , Hollowed Ground -- The People Of The Durham Coalfield , which is premiered in a fortnight . Easington Colliery , where Heather grew up , was one of the last of the Durham pits to close in 1993 , along with Westoe , Vane Tempest , and finally , Wearmouth . December 10 marks the 30th anniversary of the last shift downing tools and leaving Wearmouth for the final time , marking the end of 800 years of commercial coal mining in the county -- a historic era that we aim to record through ordinary people 's voices in our film . Heather Wood @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hollowed Ground Mining communities had watched with concern as , over about a century and a half , the pits in the west of Durham had gone , with the closures spreading like a sickness towards the sea until the industry had become consolidated on the east coast , with miners probing several miles out under the sea . Scattered across the county were the villages and towns that had sprung up where the miners had dug . Michael Chaplin in the film , Hollowed Ground " The primary identity of these places was the place of work : the pit , " said Michael Chaplin , writer and former television producer . " On the other side , the social unifier was the chapel and this was primarily led by the Methodist church . " In the early days , these bonds of community were forged out of necessity . Pit communities could be quite isolated and so people were in each other 's pockets : they worked with together , socialised together , went to church together and relied upon one another . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other . Thomas Hepburn 's headstone in St Mary 's churchyard in Gateshead telling of his pioneering union work with the Durham miners As industrialisation progressed , trade unions emerged to advocate for the rights of workers . One of the first was the Colliers of the United Association of Durham and Northumberland founded by Thomas Hepburn around 1825 which initiated the Great Strike of 1832 . Afterwards , Hepburn was blacklisted and unable to work in the mines , getting a job only on the promise he 'd never organise men again . In 1869 , the Durham Miners ' Association was formed and within three years they 'd secured the abolition of the annual Bond , which was a contract that favoured the coal owner and tied a man to the pit with little compromise . This success caused membership to take off , with nearly every miner across the county joining up .

A postcard commemorating the opening of Redhills , the pitman 's parliament , in Durham City During the First World War , there had been huge demand for coal to power industry , but that plummeted in peacetime , leading to great unrest -- the Great Strike of 1926 , for instance -- and enormous poverty in the coalfield . It was a similar story during the Second World War , after which the government brought in the Coal Industry Nationalisation Act of 1946 which established the National Coal Board and , from January 1 , 1947 , brought all pits into public ownership . But the industry was now in decline . The smaller pits were worked out , and the introduction of oil and gas for heating and generating electricity further reduced demand for coal , and the closures spread . Durham miners from the Sunderland archives Then came the defining strike of 1984-85 . More than a clash of economic interests , it became a test of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to prevent more colliery closures . On one side was the National Coal Board , and on the other , the National Union of Mineworkers ( NUM ) led by Arthur Scargill , a man who divided opinion , and hoped to achieve victory by causing energy shortages like those of the blackouts and power-cuts in the 1970s . Easington Colliery was at the heart of the industrial action as it was the first of the Durham pits to walk out in March 1984 with 1,800 people taking to the streets . Women set about organising , and soon there were picket rotas and foodbanks and a free cafe . Myrtle MacPherson , mother of Heather Wood , was a driving force , quickly becoming the face of Easington 's strike , joining the picket line , campaigning , doing interviews for television , and cooking hundreds of meals for those who could n't afford to eat . As time wore on and things got tougher , aid parcels were sent from all over the world . John Wood , miner and Horden resident , remembers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . You had a choice of brown or black -- the whole of Easington was walking round with the same shoes on ! " Moments of levity like this were so important to communities who were suffering so greatly . Hollowed Ground , the new film is available on DVD from December 1 Heather Wood , also campaigning and organising for her community , says in the film she would feel such pressure that she would see a local Catholic priest every Friday night and tell him everything on her mind over a cup of tea , even she was a member of the Church of England -- because her local Anglican vicar was married , Heather did n't think it was fair to burden him with morale-sapping information that he could n't even discuss with his wife . She says : " It broke my heart just watching what was going on , and the longer it went on , the harder it got . You 're trying to keep people going but you know in your heart of hearts it is n't working . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ return to work , and by March 1985 the NUM had voted to end the strike . Time proved the miners right . The pits closed , and associated businesses that relied upon them soon followed . Then , remarkably quickly , signs of the coal industry were removed from the landscape -- the pit heads , baths , heaps , all cleared away or covered up " as if people wanted to remove something from people 's memories " , as Michael Chaplin muses in the film . Another Durham pithead comes crashing down But the towns and villages have retained their own history and continue to celebrate it . Just as art and culture came out of mining in the work of artist Norman Cornish or writer Sid Chaplin , Michael 's father , so it continues in its absence with community-led commissions from artists like former steel worker Ray Lonsdale , whose works can be seen around the former coalfield . I Ai n't Gon na Work On Maggie 's Farm No More , in Horden , shows a miner with his heart @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stands another miner , created from a photograph of a former pit worker , so one of their own . Since 1871 mining banners and brass bands have paraded as part of the Durham Miners ' Gala , a celebration of community , solidarity , and working class culture , which in recent years has become larger than ever . And this December marks 30 years since the last coal mine in County Durham closed . Hollowed Ground stands as a record of testimony from communities who watched capitalism create one-industry towns , and then pull the rug , but who through such adversity , remain optimistic , generous , and fiercely loyal .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject (Eve) + V1 (talking) + NP object (Ravi) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (murdering her). It induces a prevention interpretation, where Eve prevents Ravi from murdering her by means of talking. The NP object (Ravi) functions as a causee, and the sentence aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('Eve managed to get away after talking Ravi out of murdering her'). It involves a prevention interpretation where Eve prevents Ravi from murdering her by means of talking. The verb 'talk' fits into the category of means by verbal persuasion, and the NP object 'Ravi' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'murdering her'. Thus, it is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'take the panic out of gift-giving', where 'gift-giving' is a noun phrase, not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

A major retailer has recruited a psychic for Christmas -- to help customers at a loss for what to buy loved ones . Not On The High Street has taken on renowned psychic , Inbaal Honigman , who claims to accurately reveal the perfect gift for those impossible to buy for . Within her newly created role of " head of gifting insights " , the clairvoyant will provide personalised readings for shoppers in need of help . To take advantage of the TV astrologer 's services , customers will need to answer four questions on the retailer 's website about the person they 're struggling to buy for . But they 'll need to be quick , as the trial service is operating on a first come , first served basis -- with just 50 readings available . It was launched after a study , also by the " home of small creative businesses " , found 45 per cent of adults suffer from " holi-dread " -- anxiety over what gifts to buy . Inbaal Honigman said : " Seeing the disappointed face of a loved one when opening a gift can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ next year . I 'm thrilled to step in and uncover the perfect gift for those hard-to-shop-for friends and family , using my psychic skills .

" Online retailer , Not On The High Street , has recruited a professional psychic , to help shoppers find the perfect Christmas gifts ( Image : PinPep ) The study of 2,000 adults , who celebrate Christmas , found 14 per cent of those who have endured holi-dread , begin to panic in early October . And perhaps with good reason -- as 26 per cent have given someone a present which was n't well-received . The top concerns for those who dread gift-buying include cost ( 48 per cent ) , whether the gift is thoughtful enough ( 34 per cent ) , and whether the recipient will like it ( 61 per cent ) . It also emerged 22 per cent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to buy for , followed by their dad ( 18 per cent ) , and their mum ( 15 per cent ) . And to provide context as to just how stressful gift-buying is , 18 per cent said it was as harrowing as a job interview , while 15 per cent said it 's harder than a break-up -- and 13 per cent even said it 's worse than giving birth . The study , carried out through OnePoll , found 61 per cent intend to shop at a small or local business for Christmas gifts this year . Of those who plan to do so , 68 per cent like to shop this way to support their local community , while 58 per cent feel the presents are more " heartfelt " .

Never underestimate Paul King . After the no-budget ingenuity of debut feature Bunny and the Bull ( 2009 ) , the former Mighty Boosh collaborator disarmed advance doubters -- they did exist -- with his Paddingtons , classics both . Wonka is n't as perfect but it 's close , largely due to one reason : even operating in the Roald Dahl-iverse with a big budget and a starry lead , this flawed but fulsomely crowd-pleasing musical fantasy is every inch a ' Paul King confection ' . It 's tempting to suggest the film is about just that : a singular creator holding his identity close . Timoth ? e Chalamet 's Wonka is a young man with a crazy dream ( and a magic hat ) , hungry to share his bespoke chocolate creations with the world 's candy capital . On arrival by ship , this guileless fantasist clashes with chocolate cartel boss Slugworth ( Paterson Joseph ) and winds up reduced to forced labour . Yet as Wonka befriends fellow outcasts , including orphan Noodle ( Calah Lane ) , he clings to his vision . Establishing clear dichotomies -- greedy v @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Simon Farnaby stir sly social subtexts into the fantastical via a Dickens-meets-Poppins set-up . King 's flair for transposing peak British TV comedy 's character to film is also apparent , thanks to a fine support haul of Peep Show and Ghosts alumni . Chalamet , meanwhile , resists Wilder/Depp mimicry , whisking up his own gentle Wonka from a measured mix of naivety and knowing wiles . Some will complain he 's too benign , too warm , but he summons a musical-ready lightness and bonds generously with the winning Lane . And after Paddington 2 , Hugh Grant gamely steals chocs and the show as a grumpy Oompa Loompa . The vibrant stylings are equally on-point , accommodating hints of playful whimsy ( mixed film stocks , 2D animation ) and Wizarding World-ish world-building to maintain a sense of handmade personality . Near-surreal flushes add flavor , ranging from chocoholic monks to a tingly set piece involving Wonka , Noodle , a giraffe , and a song . The tunes are buoyant and infectious , with composer Joby Talbot and songwriter Neil ' Divine Comedy ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into expressive musical extravagances . True , Wonka threatens to OD on its own supply of Brit stars near the climax . Momentum dips as King strains to juggle cast members . A gag at the expense of a policeman 's weight stumbles , too , though King hits surer footing with his lead duo . As Wonka and Noodle take flight , companionship and compassion emerge as Paddington-esque themes , mixed with loving care . If your cold December could use some of that anti-cynical uplift , you 'll be eating out of King 's hand .

TV licence fee cancellations hit half a million as furious customers switch off from the BBC . The TV licence fee is set to be hiked next year in line with September 2023 's inflation rate of 6.7 per cent , it was confirmed by the government today ( Thursday December 7 ) in the Commons . The latest BBC annual report showed that the number of people buying a TV licence fee had fallen by 500,000 to 24.3 million in the last year . This resulted in a decline in licence fee income from ? 3.8billion to ? 3.74billion . The licence fee will rise by ? 10.50 to ? 169.50 a year , the culture secretary , Lucy Frazer , has confirmed . The household payment , which funds much of the corporation 's operations , had been frozen at ? 159 and had been expected to rise in line with inflation next year . However , that increase , which , at 9 per cent , would have meant an increase of about ? 15 from April 2024 , had been reduced , the government said .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks a VP2[-ing] predicate that would induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'paying tax altogether' is part of the phrase 'out of paying tax altogether', which does not function as a VP2[-ing] predicate in the required sense. Additionally, the verb 'taken' does not fit the semantic classes of verbs that typically appear in the V1 slot of the construction.

Some women over State Pension age who have shared part of their income tax allowance with their spouse could face unexpected tax bills as a result of the frozen personal allowance threshold , a former pensions minister has warned . The marriage allowance applies in cases where one person in a couple pays basic rate tax and the other is a non-taxpayer . Former pensions minister Sir Steve Webb has highlighted UK Government figures indicating around 2.1 million couples benefited from the marriage allowance in 2020/21 and said just over one in three of these are estimated to be State Pensioner couples . To benefit from the tax break as a couple , the lower earner must normally have an income below the tax-free personal allowance threshold - this is currently frozen at ? 12,570 . In many cases , the husband will be the taxpayer and the wife will have the lower income and be a non-taxpayer . The non-taxpayer can then transfer 10 per cent of their personal allowance to their spouse . Provided the non-taxpayer is more than 10 per cent under the tax threshold , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the couple benefits by saving on tax , which can potentially leave couples better off overall . Sir Steve warned big cash increases in the value of the State Pension , coupled with a freezing of the tax threshold , could push more women who do not currently pay tax over the 90 per cent threshold . The tax could be collected via a tax demand in the post after the end of the financial year . Sir Steve , who is now partner at consultants LCP ( Lane Clark & Peacock ) , said : " This is yet another unwelcome by-product of the year-on-year freeze in the value of the tax allowance . " Hundreds of thousands of women have signed over part of their tax-free allowance in order to reduce their husband 's tax bill . But as the State Pension rises many of these women may now find they end up with an unexpected tax bill . " We could see marriage allowance ' mayhem ' as hundreds of thousands of couples have to decide whether @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to avoid low income pensioners being dragged into the tax net . The sooner the freeze on tax allowances comes to an end , the better . " A Treasury spokesperson said : " Pensioners whose sole income is the New State Pension and who have not deferred or receive protected payments do not pay any income tax , and this year we provided the biggest ever cash increase to pension payments , a 10.1% rise . " Our tax burden remains lower than any major European economy - and by raising personal thresholds over the past decade we have taken three million people out of paying tax altogether . The best tax cut we can provide right now is to halve inflation , which we 're on track to do this year as long as we stick to our plan .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'pulled out of directing' does not involve an NP object that is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Halle Berry has revealed that she and Angelina Jolie " had a rocky start " to their working relationship on new film Maude v Maude .

Age-old traditions at Christmas are what makes it so special - from what time you sit down for lunch to the King 's Speech and a nice tipple of Baileys during a festive movie . And chocolate is an essential ingredient of the perfect Christmas . Having an obligatory tub to pass around along the sofa with sweet wrappers lying around in wild abandon is a scene more quintessentially British than the nativity . But which of the historic chocolate brands wins if they go head to head ? Forget the young upstarts of Celebrations and Cadbury 's Heroes , my taste and price test is about the traditional nostalgic favourites that have stood the test of time . The iconic purple Quality Street tin from Nestle versus the sky blue packaging of the mighty Cadbury 's Roses . I was looking at more than just price . This comparison is also about the number of sweets you get , what kind and how that compares to previous years . Here 's what happened with I put Roses and Quality Street to the test . Quality Street is a historic name for Christmas She 's adapted over the years and now comes with more environmentally-friendly paper wrappers . They may look less shiny but more importantly , the taste of what 's inside has n't seemed to have changed . There 's still the Green Triangle chocolate truffle , the caramel Purple One that my family still fight over and not forgetting the Milk Choc Block . A bright array of these gems look enticing as I open the box , even in the duller paper wrappers(it 's saving the planet , remember ) . It 's all colour coded with details of what each chocolate is around the packaging , if you 're foolish enough to have forgotten between Christmases . Quality Street contains 11 varieties of sweets in paper wrappers , shown , including one that was left unwrapped There 's a total of 63 chocolates and 11 varieties of sweets , although one has been left unwrapped . Categorising them by type , your personal choice will influence which tub you prefer . Personally , I can not stand the fruit fillings or fudge . It works out that the majority are toffees . For the record , I 've classed the orange chocolate crunch as a chocolate truffle centre as it is not a fruity filling . Compared to last year , it has exactly the same amount of sweets . They have switched around the amounts of each and there is one less Toffee Penny and Orange Cream this year , but one extra Toffee Finger and Strawberry Delight . It 's a shame that they continue to put less of some of the most popular - Milk Choc Block and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gift for a child in need BrumWish 2023 is Birmingham Live 's festive drive to get thousands of gifts to children and young people across our city - among them the homeless , the vulnerable , kids in care , kids who are poorly or struggling , and kids who have little .

Thank you to Amazon UK and the amazing team at the Sutton Coldfield depot for their support . Tub of Cadbury 's Roses , which has nine varieties of sweets Only slightly younger than Quality Street , Roses was created as its direct competitor in 1938 and their duel is going strong today . Its piece de resistance as owned by Cadbury 's has to be the mini Dairy Milk chunks , along with the classic Hazel Whirl . Roses still has its foil packaging on the sweets that shine bright when I open the lid . It encourages shoppers to recycle but says in the small print that while the tub can be put in the recycling bin , the sweet wrappers ca n't . While more attractive than Quality Street , I ca n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the times and swap over to paper packaging too . Each of the sweets inside is clearly marked with what 's inside . It 's handy for more instant gratification , but it does take the fun out of matching it up to the pictures . Cadbury 's Roses laid bare for what exactly is inside the tub Roses weighs slightly less than Quality Street but that could be because there are less chocolates in it overall . Not only that , looking back at my data sheets , I find that Cadbury 's has reduced the number further since a year ago . There 's a total of 53 chocolates and nine varieties of sweet . In December last year , a Roses tub had 57 chocolates and nine varieties for a similar price . I 'm starting to feel short-changed . Compared to last year , there are four sweets less - two less Caramels and two less Golden Barrels .

While the flavours are similar with a range of chocolate truffles , fruit fillings and caramels , it was notable that Roses no longer has any toffees . Quality Street came out on top because of value for money . It had more chocolates , more varieties of sweets and was also making attempts to be more environmentally-friendly . The big disappointment for me was how Roses has cut back on the number of chocolates when it already has less than Quality Street . It 's now got 10 sweets less than its competitor and I feel like Cadbury 's is taking the mickey .

A group in Dorchester are collecting shoe boxes filled with various items to help those in need this Christmas . Helping the Homeless and Vulnerable Adults in Dorchester is a group set up around four years ago by Luke Bird . The group was founded after the Hub , a homeless refuge centre in Dorchester of which Mr Bird had been a volunteer at for eight years , was closed due to a lack of funding . Hosted by the United Church in Dorchester for the past four years , the group will hand out the shoe boxes at a Christmas meal event for those in need . The shoe boxes can be filled with anything from toiletries , make up , thermal clothing , gloves to food , sweets , tobacco , and mini games . People are asked to label the boxes for male , female or neutral but organisers have made a note that they are currently helping more men than women . No alcohol or sharp objects are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 35 Mellstock Avenue in Dorchester before the Christmas meal at United Church in South Street on Monday , December 18 . The meal and gift giving will start at 10am , and finish around 3pm . Mr Bird said : " For our Christmas meal , we are asking the public for goodies to give to the homeless . It 's incredibly important as some people do n't have Christmas , so to bring it to them is a great thing . " Mr Bird , 44 , said that he has seen a number of different items in the box over the years and said that last year someone put scratch cards in the boxes . At the meal , Santa Claus will make an appearance to hand out the gifts before the group shares a Christmas dinner .

AN ' in principle ' planning application for a block of 12 flats on a site off Pennsylvania Way , Portland , has been rejected by Dorset Council . The outline proposal was for the north western corner of the site off Pennsylvania Way , an area which already has consent for six houses . Access to the plot would be from Pennsylvania Way , the entrance to which is opposite the Pennsylvania Castle and the Cove Park Holiday homes . The overall site , previously the Perryfield Works , saw permission granted in 2008 for 66 homes , with the application site given consent for six homes in 2011 . The latest application sought to use that 6-home site for a three-storey block of flats with 12 parking spaces . Each of the flats would be two-bed , one ensuite , with a bathroom and lounge/kitchen area . The ground floor flats were proposed to have a garden area and those on the second floor a Juliet balcony at the rear . Said an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the clear need for new housing that is established in both national and local planning policy , the site clearly lends itself to redevelopment to make a more efficient use of the land and deliver more new homes ... the proposal has been designed to respect the appearance , form and scale of the adjacent buildings and the pattern and layout of development in the vicinity , without harming the visual amenity of the street scene or the character of the area . " Portland Town Council objected to the application claiming the use of the site would be inappropriate with the site part of an Important Open Gap . Weymouth Civic Society also objected claiming the development would be out of keeping with the area . It told council planning officer : " The proposed block of flats is particularly tall and excessively prominent .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'get more out of having a blade' does not involve a causee NP object that participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to describe deriving benefit from an activity, which is not characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Brave Alys Davies was back on the dance floor just 10 weeks after losing her leg in a freak lawnmower accident . The eight-year-old suffered horrific injures in the incident at her family home and had to have an amputation below the knee . The schoolgirl , who had been dancing since she was three , was fitted with a prosthetic leg and from the start she was determined to get back to living her life like a " normal kid but just with a different leg " .. Just two weeks after the operation she was back in the dance studio and was dancing weeks later . Alys was playing in the garden at home in Ammanford , Carmarthenshire , with her sister Lauren when she suffered the agonising injury from her father 's ride-on lawnmower which stripped the skin from her lower leg .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'drop out of doing' which does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'drop out of doing' is more about ceasing an activity rather than causing someone to move out of or preventing them from doing something.

Strictly Come Dancing 's semi-final show was a real family affair as Tess Daly 's husband Vernon Kay got a special role in the studio . Vernon was on the BBC show on Saturday night ( December 9 ) to read out the voting terms and conditions . Tess 's co-host Claudia Winkleman could n't resist giving the audience a cheeky insight into their romance . She told Vernon : " It 's now time to throw back to your wife . I would like you to say her name but let me set the scene , you 're snuggling , it 's Sunday , maybe the puppies on your lap , maybe you 've just had a delicous roast . Now say her name with romance and love . " Tess could n't even look at the camera following the comment and could n't stop giggling as she said : " So smooth . Thank you Vernon . " Tess and Vernon have been married for 20 years . Viewers were all saying the same thing as he appeared . Adam Grant commented : " It 's bring your husband to work day #StrictlyComeDancing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drop out of doing the T&Cs so they had to get Tess 's husband to do it ? #strictly .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks a VP2[-ing] predicate and does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'out of' in a spatial or metaphorical sense to indicate removal from a place (Downing Street), not as part of the specified construction.

Keir Starmer has warned the Tories ' ability to govern the country has " collapsed " as Rishi Sunak struggles to contain a growing civil war . With mounting doubts over the PM 's future in No10 and whispers of Tory MPs submitting no confidence letters , the embattled PM faces a perilous week with an interrogation at the Covid Inquiry on Monday and a crunch Rwanda vote on Tuesday . But the Labour leader Mr Starmer told The Mirror : " The Tories no longer stand for anything and their ability to govern has collapsed . " While they look inward and battle to save themselves , Labour is focused on the pound in your pocket , and the future of our country . We are back in the service of working people . " Mr Starmer said while the " Tory circus of division and performance politics is great fodder for cartoonists " , factional wars and the Rwanda " gimmick " wo n't do anything to help people suffering with food prices and energy bills . He added : " There is no point in a government that does n't have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , for parents wondering what options their kids have , for victims of crime waiting years for justice , or for nurses working all hours in an overburdened NHS . My changed Labour Party wo n't let the Tories take the country down with them . We 're ready to give Britain its future back . " The Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey also said the " chaos needs to end " , adding : " It 's clear Rishi Sunak 's days in Downing Street are numbered . " We need to get these Conservative clowns out of Downing Street so the country can finally move on . Britain needs a General Election now and for this lot to be nowhere near power " . His comments come as a daming poll shows voters do not trust Mr Sunak to lead the country through another crisis like Covid and do not believe his explanation over his failure to hand over crucial pandemic messages to the Inquiry . On Monday the PM will be grilled for the first time at the Inquiry where he is likely to face @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which appeared to him in the nickname " Dr Death " by one top scientist at the time . The survey for the 38 Degrees campaign group and Covid bereaved families found a majority - 53% - of people are not confident the PM would do a good job should the country be struck by another pandemic . Almost 60% of voters - including 48% of people who voted Tory in 2019 - do not believe Mr Sunak lost the crucial WhatsApp messages unintentionally . Susie Flintham , a spokesperson for the Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice group , said : " If another pandemic struck tomorrow the country would be left in a disastrous position of having a PM who the majority of people would n't trust to respond well . He and his party should think seriously about whether he is fit to lead the country " . The day after the Covid Inquiry grilling the PM , whose position is becoming increasingly shaky , will then face one of the most important votes of his time in Downing Street . In a desperate attempt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to rush through emergency legislation to bypass a Supreme Court ruling by declaring the African nation a safe country . On Sunday the Cabinet minister Michael Gove was forced to say Mr Sunak is " not contemplating " an early election if Tory rebels torpedo the plan . And Foreign Secretary Lord David Cameron was one of several ministers sent out by No10 over the weekend to rally the troops in a bid to avoid defeat . But Robert Jenrick , who resigned as Immigration Minister last week , told the BBC he would not support the emergency law . In another blow to Mr Sunak , the so-called " star chamber " of right-wing Conservative lawyers suggested the legislation is not " sufficiently watertight " and would fail to avoid legal challenges against deportations to Rwanda . There were also reports that Tory plotters who are panicking over the party 's dire poll ratings want Boris Johnson to return as leader - despite him no longer being an MP . In a sign of the desperation in the party 's ranks over the possibility of an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ right-wing MPs want the disgraced ex-PM to team up with former Ukip leader Nigel Farage on a joint-ticket . But in a stark warning the elections expert Professor Sir John Curtice suggested the Tories could face their " worst outcome in the party 's history " . He said the party could be almost wiped out and win as few as 130 seats - fewer than Sir John Major in 1997 after Sir Tony Blair 's historic Labour landslide . Professor Curtice suggested warring Tory MPs were " playing with fire " and later told GB News " if indeed there is a risk that you 're going to rock Rishi Sunak 's boat so substantially , then you might end up perhaps accidentally precipitating an early general election " . |

Reasoning

The sentence 'now I have a normal job after I was forced out of acting' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It has a movement/extraction interpretation where the subject (implied agent) caused the object (the speaker) to move out of acting. The verb 'forced' fits the category of exerting force or pressure. The NP object 'me' (implied) is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'acting'. The passive voice is also used, which is a property of the construction. The second part of the sentence is unrelated and does not affect the analysis of the first part.

The sentence 'now I have a normal job after I was forced out of acting' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'forced' falls under the category of exerting force or pressure (2b), and the sentence has a movement/extraction interpretation where the subject was caused to move out of acting. The NP object 'me' (implied in 'I was forced') functions as a causee. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'making the most out of having the last year with her' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it expresses an idea of maximizing an experience, which is unrelated to the construction's defined properties.

The heartwarming movie , released in 2006 , stars Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz as Iris and Amanda , who swap homes and ( spoiler alert ! ) eventually fall in love with Jack Black and Jude Law 's characters , Miles and Graham . 7 Miffy Englefield was in The Holiday as Jude Law 's daughter at the age of sixCredit : Universal 7 She now looks very different , aged 24 years oldCredit : instagram Jude 's character Graham has two young daughters in the film - one of whom , Sophie , is played by Miffy Englefield , who was just six years old at the time . She went on to star in a few other TV shows , including Casualty , but stepped away from the spotlight in 2011 . Now 24 and mum @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lives in Worthing , tells us how she landed the plum role and what she 's up to now . The Holiday was Miffy 's first paid acting gig - and she and her dad could n't believe her luck . " I was pretty clueless , " she says . " I did n't really know what was going on or who was who . " It was n't until a little bit later in life that I realised who these people were . " Following The Holiday , Miffy went on to star in TV shows Casualty and The Whistleblowers , as well as the short film Beautiful Enough - but The Holiday was her favourite . " It was the nicest experience I 've ever had on any film set for sure . Hands down , " she recalls . " Everyone was so lovely and so genuine . They had genuine time for us as well . It was n't just pleasantries . They spent time with us off camera . " It all just felt very , very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we were kids and they were working adults , they just treated us lovely . " I mean , it 's hard work , and it 's long days . But aside from that , I could n't have asked for anything more . " Despite forming a close bond with Cameron and Jude on set , Miffy and her family have n't stayed in touch with them . " I wish ! " she laughs . " I was only six so I think it would have been a bit odd if I 'd asked for their phone number . " I never kept in contact with them . It would be lovely to say hello , and who knows what the future holds . " It 's coming up to 20 years since The Holiday was filmed , so maybe something will happen , but I would n't hold my breath for it and I 'm fine with that . " 7 Miffy is now a stay-at-home mum to daughter Frankie , having @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Miffy was on a film set was in 2011 , for Beautiful Enough , when she was 11 years old . She stopped acting soon after , due to the fact she looked older than she was , and the offers stopped coming in . " It was n't really in my control , " admits Miffy . " You do n't really want a 12 year old who looks 16 . So yeah , it was just a natural growth thing . " I grew up quite early in terms of my physical appearance . " After finishing school Miffy worked as a barmaid " for quite a long time " before becoming a mum when she was 21 . She says : " I 'm very , very lucky I get to stay at home with her , and that 's brilliant . " She starts school next year , which is terrifying , so I 'm just making the most out of having the last year with her . It 's coming up to 20 years since The Holiday was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " We 've got a whole list of things that we want to tick off for the new year , because there 's so much I have n't done with her yet , so we 're going to be focusing on that and documenting it on TikTok . " She really enjoys being on camera - I do n't know where she 's got that from ! She 's also hugely into film . I think way more than I ever was . Obsessed , absolutely obsessed with film ! " However Miffy is n't sure about signing Frankie up to an agency like her dad did for her . " She would have to be a bit older than she is now , " she says . " I was about the same age as she is , but she is n't quite as pretentious as I was . " I used to put on shows for random people in the street . I was pretty obnoxious and she has n't got quite that quality yet , which is good . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bit , I 'm just not going to rush her . It 's all completely up to her . " She 's only three , she 's got her whole childhood in front of her . " 7 Miffy recreated Cameron Diaz 's famous feast for one scene from The HolidayCredit : homeexchangecom 7 Cameron Diaz in The Holiday While there were rumours of a sequel to The Holiday earlier this year , Miffy says she does n't think it will ever happen . " As lovely as it would be , I do n't think it 's really the Nancy Meyers way of doing things , " she adds of the film 's producer , director and writer . " I do n't think that she would want to revisit something and possibly ruin it . " Miffy recently got the chance to recreate a scene from the film , in which Amanda heads to the nearest village shop , wine bottle in one hand , shopping trolley in the other , to buy everything @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ celebrate Christmas Day alone in bed . She had Amanda 's feast for one , which included red wine , snowmen cookies , mince pies - and ( of course ) a copy of The Holiday on DVD - an experience HomeExchange is giving away to 20 solo travellers . She says : " It was very surreal and I got my dad to come with me as well . " I thought it 'd be a bit of fun , because we have n't been on a film set together since I was about 11 , and it was just a really , really lovely day - and really nostalgic . " I got to sit in bed all day , eat some chocolate , drink some wine ... what more could you ask for in a day of work ? " Miffy and her family also had their own Home Exchange holiday earlier this year when they swapped their home in Worthing for a beautiful country house near Hastings . " I definitely wanted to channel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Home Exchange experience was fantastic , from start to finish . It was just so easy and so brilliant . Me and my family absolutely loved it .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it involves the phrase 'get out of paying', where 'paying' is part of a prepositional phrase and does not involve a causee or the specific interpretations (movement/extraction or prevention) characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Here, 'it' (NP subject) + 'snap' (V1) + 'her' (NP object) + 'out of going into the doldrums and going all reflective' (VP2[-ing] predicate). It induces a movement/extraction interpretation, where 'it' causes 'her' to move out of the state of going into the doldrums. The verb 'snap' can be classified under exerting force or pressure, fitting the construction's requirements. The NP object 'her' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

Coronation Street 's Alison King has admitted she could n't stop crying as she lifted the lid on Chris Gascoyne 's emotional exit storyline . The two actors are renowned for their role as onscreen married couple , Carla and Peter Barlow . It has been a turbulent time for the characters on the Cobbles as the fallout from Stephen Reid 's reign of terror continues . Peter killed the serial killer when he hit him with his car earlier this year and the character has since been struggling with his mental health . Peter is set to depart Weatherfield to live a quieter life on a boat and his final scenes will be broadcast on Boxing Day . Alison heaped praise on her departing co-star and said filming the last scenes together was an emotional experience . She said : " We 're filming solidly together for two days . There was a lot to learn . But aside from that it was amazing , but it was so emotional , I did not need any tearstick for those scenes . " There was no way of knowing what would happen because every @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and started crying at different times in every scene . Just seeing a different look from Chris would set me off because he 's so wonderful at Meisner technique which involves an actor reacting to another actor 's performance and behaviour , he 's so reactive . That 's why I 've loved working with him so much , it 's always about the reaction . " We can do things 1000 different ways in each take . And he 's so brilliant every single time , it was just a different journey and you 're absolutely spent and it 's such a roller coaster of emotions . " Peter Barlow will depart Coronation Street on Boxing Day ( Image : ITV ) Alison said her onscreen marriage resonates so much with audiences due to the brilliant chemistry she shares with Chris and said she will miss working with her departing co-star . She added : " It 's like putting your comfiest coat on . And it 's just knowing , knowing the freedom and knowing that you can dare do anything and know that he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with him . And it 's so enjoyable when you know someone so well like that . " A new family member will join the Cobbles after Peter exits as Carla 's nephew , Bobby , will arrive on Weatherfield . She said : " Yes she is definitely not looking for love , she 's still got her rings on , she 's not over Peter just like that . But what it does with Bobby coming into this scenario is snap her out of going into the doldrums and going all reflective . " She is trying to be quite cut and dry about , you know , I 've done this , I 've made this decision , I 've helped Peter make this decision along the way to leave .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'got' is followed by an NP object 'a thrill' and the phrase 'out of offending' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

Reasoning

The sentence 'Amy was originally hoping to be able to perform in the Strictly Come Dancing final, on Saturday, December 16, however her broken foot has ruled her out of dancing.' fits the transitive out of -ing construction. It has the structure NP subject (her broken foot) + V1 (ruled) + NP object (her) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (dancing). It also gives rise to a prevention interpretation, where the broken foot prevents Amy from dancing. The verb 'ruled' can be classified under exerting force or pressure, and the NP object 'her' is a causee who participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'dancing'.

BBC Strictly Come Dancing professional Dianne Buswell has sent a sweet message to Amy Dowden 's parents . The dancer , who is in the 2023 final with Bobby Brazier , posed for a photograph backstage with her friend and co-star Amy and her mum and dad . Dressed in a gorgeous green dress for her Quickstep performance in the semi-final , Dianne posed with her arms around Richard and Gillian Dowden and wrote : " It was so lovely or should I say Lush to have Amy 's mum and dad in the audience for the semi-finals ! " Dianne added : " Amy 's dad reminds me so much of my own and Amy 's mum is just the sweetest . I loves them I do . " Dianne 's post comes after it was confirmed she and Bobby were in the running for the Glitterball Trophy after making it to the final alongside Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola , and Layton Williams and Nikita Kumzin . Back in November , Dianne sent a message to her own father as she shared a picture of him in hospital . She captioned the image @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ First round of chemotherapy today ! I wish I could be there to hold your hand and support you in person but I do know that I 'm making you so proud over here in my concert every week ! The Australian nurses and drs are now very aware of Strictly Come Dancing as my dad wo n't stop talking about it . You can do this daddy . " Meanwhile , Amy recently revealed she will be making a special appearance in the Strictly final , which will remain a surprise until the night . It comes after the 33-year-old revealed last month she had fractured her foot just days after finishing her last round of chemotherapy . Amy told her Instagram followers that the fracture meant she would not be able to return to the ballroom this year as planned , a dream that had " kept her going " through the last few months as she battled breast cancer after finding a lump before her honeymoon . Speaking during an interview with ITV 's Lorraine this week , Amy said : " I 'm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was a bit deluded when I rang that chemo bell , that was it and actually , I find it mentally tougher now ... you have got to recover from chemo ... yourself and people around you think ' well you are fine now ' because you 've rang the bell , no .

" Amy was originally hoping to be able to able to perform in the Strictly Come Dancing final , on Saturday , December 16 , however her broken foot has ruled her out of dancing . She said she " cried so much because I just wanted to get back dancing " . For more showbiz and television stories , get our newsletter here .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'pull out of the final' involves an intransitive verb 'pull' with no NP object and does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Additionally, 'the final' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate.

BBC Strictly Come Dancing security had to step in over AJ Odudu 's behaviour in the studio last weekend , according to reports . The latest Popbitch email has shed light on AJ 's antics in the studio at Elstree , which unfolded as the semi-final aired on BBC One and iPlayer . The email reads : " As a recent finalist herself , you 'd have thought AJ Odudu would have a decent idea of how to behave in the Strictly studio . But no . AJ was in the audience last weekend and snagged herself a seat front and centre , where she had to be told by security multiple times to not film or photograph the show during takes . " Eventually she was forced to put her phone away completely -- much to the surprise and frustration of other audience members , who had all had their phones confiscated on arrival . " The newsletter goes on : " She was also frequently late back to her seat after breaks in filming .

We want to thank them for 13 incredible weeks on the show and the pure joy they brought to the dance floor every week . " In an update on social media before AJ quit the show , Rhys Stephenson - who was axed in the semi - addressed speculation that he could return to the BBC show , saying : " I 've had a lot of messages from people asking if I 'm going to be in the final now as AJ has hurt herself .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It describes the cake's features using 'made out of icing sugar and cash', which is a description of composition rather than a construction involving causation or prevention. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the context does not suggest a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Since finding fame on reality TV series The Only Way Is Essex over a decade ago , Mark Wright has carved a career spanning sport , fitness and presenting . He discovered a passion for sharing workouts online during the lockdowns . The 36-year-old now runs the Live Wright fitness and healthy lifestyle coaching platform and app with his brother , Josh , and lives in Essex with his wife , actress Michelle Keegan . We caught up with him to chat about winter motivation , finding balance , and why he 's even started to enjoy cold , rainy runs ... What advice would you give people to stay motivated with their workouts at this time of year ? " It 's so easy to fall off the bandwagon now summer 's out of the way , there 's no holidays booked , you 're going to be wrapped up in coats and Christmas is coming , when we all like to indulge in treats . And we all live by the whole ' new year , new me ' thing . But for me , I think it 's imperative to put the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , meaning you can relax over the festive period , and come January , you 're ahead of the curve . " So do n't be that person who snoozes the alarm and stays in bed because it 's dark and everyone else is doing it . Remember how you 're going to feel after a workout , and know that this is the hard bit , but come the new year , it 'll be easier . So set yourself a challenge - you 're going to get through it ! " Getting through winter can feel like a bit of a slog mentally , ca n't it ? " Yeah - and that 's one of the reasons why I make sure I up my training game and make myself feel good , because it 's counteracting the fact that it is a bit tougher at this time of year , and the sun 's not shining through the window when you wake up . You 've got to try and enjoy the things that are good about this time of year too - like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , indulging in a roast dinner on a Sunday . " Do you try and make sure you get outside in nature when it is light outside ? " Yeah - I never used to be able to go for runs in the winter , I used to always train in the gym , but now I get a buzz out of wrapping up , putting a woolly hat on in the cold , breathing in the really fresh air and going for a run . I was running in the rain the other morning and kind of enjoying it ! " I think it 's about mentally adapting to the situation we 're in . Staying on top of your fitness game and your physical health is so important for your mental health as well . For me , if I 'm not training and I 'm not eating well and I do n't feel good , I mentally do n't feel good . Training keeps me on that straight and narrow . " It 's so easy to fall into ' all-or-nothing ' thinking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who think they may as well not bother if they 're not managing to totally nail it ? " Exactly that - it does n't have to be all or nothing . I 'm a massive believer in balance and everything in moderation . I 've got myself out of shape quite a few times , and then I 've got a higher hill to climb , if you like . To be fair , I 'm in that situation at the moment . A lot of us keep ourselves fit in the summer , but I actually do n't need it for my mental health in the summer because there 's so much fun happening - you 're going to beer gardens , going out with your friends - so that 's where I get my happiness , and I fall off the gym buzz a bit . " So I 'm having to really climb a hill - doing extra training , extra runs - and I do n't like that . What I like is just to throughout the year , get yourself to a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and you do n't have to train that much , just maintain it . The best form of training for me is maintaining . A few times a week , exercising as much as you can , and everything in moderation . You 're working with the GetPRO high-protein snack range . Tell us about that . " Whenever I do a campaign , I always choose things I 'm passionate about and that I firmly believe in . And I 'm obviously into my fitness and health - and I 'm someone that loves a snack and loves a sweet treat , so I always try to find healthy alternatives . With the GetPro range , I just love it - it tastes incredible , there 's no added sugars , it 's high in protein , so it 's perfect .

She said the dad threatened to " beat her " while his wife supported him by " screaming trash " . According to Sara , other parents were " shook " and helped her as her husband intervened . The next day , she received a call from the ice rink telling her the whole family had been banned from the venue . And when her son 's hockey coach offered to drive the youngster to training , his manager swiftly suspended him . The heartbroken mum called it an " extreme situation " and said her daughter can no longer go ice skating with her friends . Sara said it was n't the first violent incident she and her family had faced - and claims she has been ruthlessly bullied for years . She explained that although the abuse is aimed at her , it 's mostly the kids who suffer . After her career came to light , Sara said she was banned from a sports club where her husband worked , her son played football and her daughter enjoyed cheerleading . " It was n't fair , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be put in the middle of it , " she said . But the saga was far from over and shortly after she was barred from the club , Sara 's daughter came home and claimed an adult told the other girls she had a " contagious disease " and they should n't go near her . " I cried everyday , I do n't think I have been that depressed in my life , " Sara said . The mum said she felt she had no choice but to pull her daughter out of cheerleading . But the bullies also targeted her husband , Sara claimed . " It just got to be a hostile environment where the other coaches were trying to fight him on the field during a game , " she said . " It was heartbreaking , devastating , and it was just awful . " The last straw came when Sara 's oldest son was suspended from school - and no reason was given . She even hired an attorney to question the school and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ welfare , Sara has moved him to a different school . Forced out by the cruel treatment , the Cheek family fled to a place where Sara hoped they would be free from the abuse . But rumours of her X-rated career had spread far and wide and the bullying only worsened . In the lead up to the hockey match ordeal a bush behind the Cheek 's home suspiciously caught fire while they were out , leaving " many trees torched and a field burned . " Fire officials told them that the blaze was sparked from a backyard fire pit but the family claims they have n't touched the pit in months . This came after the couples neighbour had reportedly set upon Sara and her husband with a hose pipe while they were doing electrical work outside . A video captures this moment and shows the hose-wielding neighbour aiming the jet of water directly at them . Sara said : " Our neighbour has made our life a living hell since we moved in , regularly flipping off our children @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our friends . " The mum added that upon finding out she had moved in , the nightmare neighbour went gallivanting on her property and cut down a live oak tree that was a protected species in Florida . The mum is now at her wits end and is at a loss with how to cope with the abuse . She said : " The community has treated our family like crap with no repercussions . |

Rushing to social media to comment , One joked : " Fair play , thanks to Tess and Claudia for reminding everybody not to forget your tin foil for your Christmas turkey ! #Strictly #scd2023 .

We 're not sure where the time has gone this year , but we 're now about a week away from Christmas Day . You may be one of those organised types who have already stocked up on festive treats like chocolate coins , Quality Street and Baileys , or like some of us , you 're more accustomed to the last-minute supermarket dash . If it 's the latter , then fortunately for you we 've taken some of the leg work out of buying those all-important Christmas staples by comparing a range of festive food and drink . That way , you can simply run to the shops and make a beeline for the products you want without the fear of purchasing a less-than-satisfactory treat . While a lot of attention goes into those early turkey orders , stuffing balls and pigs in blankets , it 's worth making space for all those indulgent sweet treats too - even if you have to save them for Boxing Day . One of our favourites is the Yule log , an aesthetically pleasing addition to any festive spread , especially if you 're someone who dodges @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deciding our winner of this year 's yule log battle , we were looking for a sponge that was n't too dry and with good bounce , plus for the logs with buttercream , we wanted a pure cocoa flavour rather than something synthetic . Appearance wise , we 're not asking for much , but some kind of resemblance to snow-capped tree bark was also on our wish list . Overall , price , appearance and taste have been taken into account . Sainsbury 's Chocolate Yule Log ( Image : Manchester Evening News ) A caveat to begin . According to Sainsbury 's website , they do offer a Taste the Difference Yule Log ( 442g ) but we could n't track one down , for love nor money , so we thought it was worth giving their standard Chocolate Yule Log a whirl . Ok , so it 's not an all-singing , all-dancing number because everything from the packaging to the log itself is pared back , but that 's alright , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . While it does n't come topped with ganache , the log , which feels closer to a swiss roll in look and taste , still featured chocolate flavoured sponge rolled with buttercream and was covered in milk chocolate and a light sugar dusting . It 's probably not going to take pride of place on your Christmas table , and it was a little chalky to taste , but with a decent brew and a bumper copy of the Radio Times in hand , it 's a perfectly good accompaniment for the Christmas period , especially if you do n't want to spend too much . Looks : 2/5 Taste : 2.5/5 Price : ? 2.60 Weight : 240g Overall rating : 2.5/5 Asda Extra Special Luxury Yule Log ( Image : Manchester Evening News ) The first thing you notice about Asda 's luxury yule log is its glossy ganache coat . Topped with bronze and gold leaves , and boasting a perfectly whipped swirl at each end , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? Well , we 're glad to report it was just as delightful on the palette as it was the eyes . Ganache can end up being quite sickly , leaving you full or remorse for even thinking you had space for pudding , but in Asda 's case it was well balanced and smooth , and without any of that synthetic aftertaste that can leave bits of sugar swirling around your mouth long after the last bite . Likewise , the swirl of chocolate-flavoured buttercream running through its centre was moist and moreish , helping bring all the elements together . A couple of notes though . While the sponge was bouncy and light , without the buttercream or ganache on the fork , it ended up being pretty dry after a few mouthfuls , which left me reaching out for a brew one too many times just to wash it back . Sadly , the taste of the decorations , assembled from what I can only assume is sugar paper , detract from the rest of the cake 's stellar effort too . Looks : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Weight : Not listed Overall rating : 4/5 We had another looker on our hands with Morrisons ' festive yule log . One of the pricier options certainly delivered aesthetically with its bronze-hued chocolate swirls , and rustic overall look . Personally , I prefer when the log is n't overly manicured so the jagged groves and uneven lines of this log certainly added an air of authenticity , which we 're sure would stand out amongst the mounds of stollen , biscuits and Christmas pudding on your mum 's carefully assembled dining table . That said , this log may not be everybody 's cup of tea . There 's no question of its decadence - it 's topped with milk chocolate fudge icing for goodness sake - but its calling card may also be its most divisive element . This is one seriously rich cake and after a turkey dinner and a couple of mince pies it may just be a little too much to take on . If you 're @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will leave you full all the way through Twixmas , then be our guest . A fudge-lovers perfect cake , but it wo n't be for everyone . Looks : 4/5 Taste : 3/5 Price : ? 6 Weight : 465g Overall rating : 3.5/5 Aldi Yule Log Specially Selected ( Image : Manchester Evening News ) Slightly more minimal compared to the bells and whistles of our last two contenders , but no worse off for it , because there 's some very realistic snow topping the Aldi yule log . The knife glided right through - always a good sign - and none of the chocolate ganache enrobing was lost when divvying it up - another encouraging sign . Our almost instant feeling when it came to taste is one of familiarity , as we racked our brains for what it was reminding us of . Colin the Caterpillar or should that be Cuthbert , following Aldi 's spat with M&S over the chocolate insect-inspired treat , eventually sprang to mind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tasted very similar to that , and had the best sponge of all the logs we tested . The more we ate - and it was a fair amount - the more we liked it . To look at , it was n't as impressive as its Morrisons and Asda counterparts , but it was the understated character that we appreciated . The chocolate flavour was spot on and not too rich while the unison between the sponge , ganache and buttercream was well balanced . Take it from us , it might not be a table showstopper but it might just be the perfect all-rounder . We 're not mad , we 're just disappointed . What looked to be another strong contender , really did n't live up to those ' finest ' expectations . Sure , from the outside , we had something quite similar to Aldi 's above with its generous dusting of snow-like and bark-esque look , but once we cut inside it was a whole other story . What we were hoping for from this luxury log was a beautifully soft @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hand finished with a creamy Belgian chocolate , but really they were a bit stingy on the ganache , leaving the rather dry sponge to do the heavy lifting . It tasted like a value range swiss roll was subbed in at the last minute , so rather than bounce we got a sponge as dry as the Sahara desert . Despite the claggy texture it was somewhat redeemed by a more premium aftertaste from the butter cream , but in all honesty this was n't Tesco 's Finest hour . Looks : 3/5 Taste : 2.5/5 Price : ? 4.49 Weight : Not given Overall rating : 3/5 Marks and Spencer Hand Decorated Chocolate Yule Log after it was cut in to ( Image : Manchester Evening News ) Typically , it 's not right to have favourites . But , this is a taste test , so we 'll have to park that moral quandary for now - because M&S have served up the goods with the yule @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the sort you get on your windscreen on a Christmas Day - we can dream - to the optimal ganache to sponge and buttercream ratio , it 's a slow , lingering clap for this one . Yes , ok the exterior is n't as flash as some of the others . There are no chocolate curls and sugar paper stars , or golden balls , but the taste is so good , it really does n't matter - and that 's exactly what you should be telling your aunt Sue if she questions your more classic choice in yule log . This no-nonsense log stands out from the pack for its rich , but crucially not too rich sponge , delicate buttercream layer and coat of fudge frosting , which lands on the right side of decadence . It 's expensive for an understated showstopper , but it might just make your Christmas Day . Looks : 4/5 Taste : 5/5 Price : ? 7 Weight : 495g Overall rating : 4.5/5 If you just skipped ahead to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ missed out on a chocolate ganache-fuelled rollercoaster . Anyway , as it turns out Marks and Spencers triumphed in our Christmas yule log comparison , though it was very close this time . Both Aldi and Asda made a good showing and would make a mighty addition to your dining room spread . Sadly , Morrisons offer was too divisive to land a top spot , while what was available at Sainsbury 's tried its best as the budget option . There were glimmers of hope with Tesco , but the dryness of the sponge still upsets me now . Story Saved You can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right . |

It 's getting a little bit tiring writing that out . In fact , it 's almost lost its meaning . ' Mess ' has sometimes felt like Swansea 's default setting in the last few years , despite the occasional punctuation of positivity and , dare I say it , actual optimism . What makes it all the more frustrating is that , again , it all feels largely of their own making . There are conflicting accounts around the circumstances around why their pursuit of Chris Davies has fallen through , but ultimately it does n't really matter . The result 's the same . Disappointment , anger , frustration , and a chairman in Andy Coleman , who along with sporting director Paul Watson , is now under immense pressure to deliver an acceptable solution to salvage what 's been a turbulent first season for the new regime . Sign up to our Swansea City newsletter here . It 's no exaggeration to say this next move could well make or break their tenures . Swansea are five points away from the dropzone ahead of a grueling Christmas period , and any margin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ situation is left to fester . If you think that 's an alarmist assessment , Saturday 's defeat to Middlesbrough stretched Swansea 's wretched run at home to just two wins in 11 games . The last time things were this bad , the Swans were eventually relegated from the Premier League . Relegation to League One is , perhaps for the first time since the American owners took charge , now being talked about in the pubs of SA1 as an uncomfortably real possibility . The struggles on the pitch alone make this gig a tough sell for any new boss . Plus whoever they approach now will always be operating in the knowledge that they were n't the club 's first choice . That 's not a happy place to be for anyone involved . Alan Sheehan has done a reasonable job as interim boss , and has always been careful not to really say too much on whether he 'd like the job full time , but Davies was always the one Swansea wanted . Davies was , of course , in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before the club then moved for Michael Duff . Whether Duff was the preferred candidate at the time is n't overly clear . But again , it does n't really matter . The optics of shelling out so much money to sack Duff and then pursue a target who was previously available for free are pretty poor , even by Swansea 's standards . Perhaps they intended to fund the move with the extra cash raised from the recent rise in season ticket prices , which was announced last week . Talk about not reading the room - although that 's assuming they 're even in the room . Certainly some supporters feel their anger and frustration is simply dissipating into the ether right now . Not for the first time , many will lay the blame for this latest episode squarely at the feet of Jason Levien and Co . But the appointment of Coleman as the man on the ground was , we were all told , designed to specifically address this very problem . And yet , just as Duff failed to win the PR @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been kept in the dark for the last two weeks . It simply is n't good enough . Speculation is , at this moment in time , all we really have in terms of trying decipher what on earth the plan is here . From the outside looking in , it all bears more resemblance to a shambolic task on The Apprentice , one that 's got firmly out of hand , than the actions of a fully functioning professional football club . Few would argue that parting with Duff was probably the right decision . Not all the shortcomings seen during his tenure were his fault , but ultimately watching his side turned into a joyless chore . But in hindsight , it 's a decision that now looks hasty . The timing ill-thought out . Swansea might be flirting with the bottom of the table at the moment , but they still had more than enough time to lay groundwork for their next move before pulling the trigger . The longer the pursuit for Davies went on , the more ominous it felt , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , attention turns to what happens next . Luke Williams is a name that 's generated enthusiasm among some within the club . Jimmy Thelin appears to also be an option to have been under consideration . It 's impossible to rule Sheehan out of taking the job himself at this stage . There 's plenty to weigh up . But having already made a mistake in appointing Duff , this feels like a monster of a decision . Swansea simply can not afford to mess it up again .

Aston Villa loanee Clement Lenglet 's season with the club could be cut short in the January transfer window , with a host of clubs around Europe reportedly ready to offer the defender a better chance of playing regular football in the second half of the season . Centre half Lenglet joined Villa from Barcelona in the summer as cover after Unai Emery lost Tyrone Mings to injury on the opening game of the season at Newcastle United , but as we head towards the midway point of the domestic season Lenglet has n't yet played a single minute of Premier League football for the Lions . The French international , who spent last season in England with Tottenham Hotspur , played 90 minutes in five of Villa 's Europa Conference League group games , but he has otherwise found himself behind Ezri Konsa , Pau Torres and Diego Carlos in Emery 's assembled squad , and that has raised questions as to whether Lenglet will continue into the second half of this campaign . Earlier this month Lenglet was linked with a switch to Germany and reigning champions Bayern Munich , as well as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , according to Il Mattino , Napoli have entered the equation and that the final decision will be left to Unai and Monchi . Lenglet made 35 appearances in all competitions for Spurs before returning to Catalonia in the summer . Lenglet has made 160 appearances for Barca but he found minutes harder to come by under Xavi . Barca , who claimed the La Liga title last season , have the likes of Andreas Christensen , Jules Kounde , Inigo Martinez and Ronald Araujo to call upon and so Lenglet was permitted another temporary move away from the Camp Nou . Villa also have Calum Chambers as a centre half available to Emery , but Mings - who recently addressed his followers on social media of how his rehabilitation process is going - is deemed unlikely to return this season and that 'd rule him out of making Gareth Southgate 's Euro 2024 squad , too . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'they' (NP subject) + 'cheated' (V1) + 'the people of Morecambe' (NP object) + 'out of something very significant' (VP2[-ing] predicate). It implies a prevention interpretation, where the action of cheating prevented the people of Morecambe from having something very significant. The verb 'cheated' fits into the category of means by deception or trickery. The NP object 'the people of Morecambe' functions as a causee, and the sentence can be paraphrased to show prevention, aligning with the transitive out of -ing construction properties.

Can you believe it 's been 30-years since Mr Blobby topped the UK charts at Christmas with his song Mr Blobby ? Often voted the most hated Christmas number one of all time , one critic in the Telegraph said the song " set the bar so low ... it 's hard to imagine that it could ever be usurped " . For anyone too young to remember , Mr Blobby was the gelatinous pink sidekick of Noel Edmunds on his hugely successful TV show Noel 's House Party . In the 1990s , Noel 's House Party was the pinnacle of Saturday Night television , making a huge star out of the show 's ponderous pink lummox ( Mr Blobby , not Noel ) . Set in a large house in the fictional village of Crinkley Bottom , Mr Blobby was the show 's comic relief , communicating only the word ' blobby ' over-and-over as he crashed into everything around him . The show and Mr Blobby were hugely popular , and Noel Edmunds and his production company Unique looked to open a number of theme parks on the back of its success , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Crinkley Bottom theme parks opened in the small Somerset village of Cricket St Thomas during 1994 . Opening in a quiet and idyllic Grade I listed wildlife park , it did not going down well with some residents , being marred by controversy in its opening weeks . Neighbours complained about excessive noise and English Heritage were concerned that the image of the Grade I listed estate was being spoiled by the attraction . But footfall told a different story . The park welcomed more than 650,000 visitors in its opening season , making it more popular than Buckingham Palace which had attracted only 420,000 that same year . Spurred on by its success , Lancaster City Council began cooking up a deal with Edmonds and Unique to bring another Crinkley Bottom theme park to Happy Mount Park in Morecambe , Lancashire . Happy Mount Park opened during the 1920s as an urban municipal park space for families , but councillors believed it would be served better and help put Morecambe on the map as the home of another ' Blobbyland ' . In the summer of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they switched on Morecambe Illuminations , drawing a record 32,000 people to the town .

In 1994 , Lancaster City Council agreed a deal with Edmonds and his production company , with councillors voting 59 to one in favour of a ? 300,000 investment in the scheme . It was n't long before the council had put pen to paper on a three-year deal . The excitement swelling around the opening of the park reflected the national Blobby mania which had already had Britain in a stranglehold . With expectations that the park would bring in another 240,000 annual visitors to the resort , the Morecambe Visitor ramped up the excitement with frequent headlines . " Morecambe is bracing itself for a pink and yellow spotted tidal wave of Blobbymania " was one headline used by the local paper . It seemed like a win-win for Morecambe , a town that had experienced a slow decline , having been one of the premier British seaside destinations during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ project from Mars chocolate , Fujifilm and even British Rail who gave away free advertising by promoting the nearby Bare Lane railway station as " Bare Crinkley Bottom . " On Saturday , July 30 , 1994 , ' Noel Edmonds ' World of Crinkley Bottom ' was opened in Morecambe by Edmonds and Mr Blobby . Within two days , 5,000 people had visited the attraction . By August that number had reached 50,000 . Mr Blobby returned to Morecambe on August 5 to switch on the illuminations for a second year in a row . He was joined by Edmonds who hosted a live edition of House Party . From the outside , the park seemed like a success . Vouchers for Crinkley Bottom appeared in Mirror Group papers across England , and holiday companies as far south as London were advertising package deals which included a trip to the Morecambe leisure park and a stay at Pontins for ? 90 . Newspaper advertisement for ' Blobbyland ' But Lancashire 's very own Crinkley Bottom was to have a viciously short shelf life @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an alcohol licence , sparking some residents to fear it could lead to anti-social behaviour . The council also introduced a cheaper pricing structure for the park , prompting fears that the audacious visitor number aims would not be achieved . It was hoped that 250,000 people would visit the park by October which was now looking like wildly optimistic . Customers also bombarded the council and local papers with complaints , saying that the park not value for money and there was n't enough for kids to do . Soon after a Happy Mount Action Group opposed Blobby Land , gaining 6,000 signatures on a petition to have it scrapped . By October the Labour party , who had the majority on the city council , called time on Mr Blobby 's Morecambe home and the park closed after just 13 weeks . In the aftermath of the park 's closing , different parties blamed each other for its failure . Lancaster City Council blamed Edmonds and his production company for the disaster . They accused him of a breach of contract , causing them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ between them and the TV presenter . The council also blamed the House Party host for failing to drum up visitors to the park by not making enough appearances in Morecambe , with Blobby in tow . This led to the council actually suing the presenter for negligence and misrepresentation . It was n't until 2003 that a report into the park from a district auditor brought some clarity . The District Auditor , Clive Portman , found that Lancaster City Council was " imprudent , irrational and unlawful " in its dealings with Noel Edmonds and his production company . It then changed the agreement offering a fixed fee of around ? 1m over three years with the council keeping all gate receipts and sponsorship . But when the attraction was hit by poor visitor numbers and sponsorship figures , the park was forced to close . The auditor made it clear that the council had made a " mistake " when they terminated their contract with the production company and launched their own legal battle . The council 's legal case never reached the high @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 950,000 in damages as part of an out of court settlement . The entire ' Blobbygate ' scandal cost taxpayers in North Lancashire ? 2.6m . Edmonds ' line following the ruling seemed to haunt Morecambe thereafter . He said : " We wanted people investigated because they cheated the people of Morecambe out of something very significant . I thought Morecambe was famous for shrimps , now it 's notorious for fudge . " But Morecambe was only the beginning . The Somerset Crinkley Bottom closed in 1996 , followed quickly by the Lowestoft park in 1997 . Noel 's House Party was axed in March 1999 after ratings plummeted from their high of 15m down to 8m . And with it , Blobby Mania finally died . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'taking the carbon out of shipping' involves 'taking' as the main verb, but 'shipping' is not a VP[-ing] predicate; it is a noun. Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

While the Green Pioneer attended Cop28 in Dubai it had to travel there burning conventional fossil fuels . This is because global maritime rules currently prevent ammonia-fuelled ships sailing the world 's oceans During the Cop28 world climate conference the glitzy yachts moored in Dubai Marina shared their berths with a very different vessel : the world 's first ship that can be powered by ammonia . However , global maritime rules mean that despite the ship being ready to set sail fuelled by ammonia , it 's not currently allowed to . For an industry that contributes almost 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions and carries 80% of the world 's trade , taking the carbon out of shipping has long been a challenge . Now Fortescue Future Industries ( FFI ) , the green technology arm of Australian mining company Fortescue , has converted two of the engines on an offshore supply vessel to run on green ammonia . The fuel is produced by combining nitrogen from the air with hydrogen produced through the electrolysis of water . It produces @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ around the world to produce fertiliser so industry is familiar with handling this hazardous chemical . Fortescue 's ship the Green Pioneer is designed as a technology demonstrator , to push both regulators and ship engine manufacturers to embrace ammonia . The ship could n't use ammonia to fuel its journey to Dubai from its home in Singapore , however , because no regulations permit it . No ports will accept ammonia-powered ships , although the Port of Antwerp -- Bruges announced at Cop28 that it will bunker ammonia vessels from 2025 . Green shipping corridors will have to be developed so that ports are set up to refuel these vessels at each end of the voyage . Andrew Hoare , FFI 's head of shipping , told a hydrogen summit at Cop28 that the advance ' unlocks the regulations , as it has n't been done before . We 've actually helped the regulator the International Maritime Organisation ... to write the regulations that will ultimately regulate us . If we had done nothing , it would not be possible to move these products in a green @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with experts from other companies , FFI has spent 18 months developing all the processes and systems required to run the ship , including the gas fuel delivery system . ' There 's not a single piece of technology on that ship that is completely novel and new . You just use great minds , great brains and bolt it together , ' said Hoare . The fuel tanks hold about 40m3 of ammonia -- enough for a two-week voyage . The ammonia in the tanks is pressurised to 200kPa , but to be fed into the engine the pressure is reduced and the ammonia is warmed using waste heat from the engine . While there are no CO2 emissions from burning ammonia it does release nitrogen oxides ( NOx ) that contribute to global warming . Instead of using urea as a NOx scrubber , ammonia is added . The unburnt ammonia mixes with the NOx in the presence of a catalyst to produce nitrogen , oxygen and water vapour . FFI says NOx emissions from its engines are lower than burning diesel , and efforts to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ energy density than diesel , so engines consume around twice as much by volume . FFI says the higher volume of fuel required is already leading to a new approach to ship design , with a focus on the use of lighter materials . |

Britain 's boozers could be in trouble as cash-strapped drinkers are n't spending their hard-earned money in the pub , according to new research .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('fear they'll price customers out of visiting'). It involves a prevention interpretation, where the action of increasing prices is feared to prevent customers from visiting. The verb 'price' in this context implies a means of exerting economic pressure, fitting one of the semantic categories of verbs that can appear in the V1 slot. The NP object 'customers' functions as a causee who would participate in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'visiting'.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('price customers out of visiting'). It has a prevention interpretation, where the action of increasing prices prevents customers from visiting. The verb 'price' fits into the category of verbs that exert force or pressure metaphorically. The NP object 'customers' functions as a causee who participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'visiting'. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

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

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'opted out of receiving additional marketing communications' involves an NP ('additional marketing communications') as a complement of the complex preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Burton 's Joe Powell 's stunning effort that gave them an early lead against Bradford City ( Image : Thomas Gadd ) The English Football League ( EFL ) and Papa Johns broke advertising rules by sending pizza ads to children while promoting an upcoming Bradford City fixture , a watchdog has ruled . Subscribers as young as 13 received calendar events in October last year for the EFL Papa Johns Trophy for games between Stevenage and Tottenham Hotspur U21 and Burton Albion and Bradford City , which read : " We 've partnered with Papa Johns to offer fans 50% off pizza ! Simply show your EFL season or match ticket to staff in a Papa Johns store for half price on your pizza order ! " The Children 's Food Campaign complained that the ads directed products that were high in fat , salt or sugar ( HFSS ) at children . The EFL said Papa Johns was entitled to a range @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as sponsor of the competition . However it said the promotion had been removed prior to the complaint and it had no intention of reinstating it . Action from the game between Burton and Bradord City ( Image : Thomas Gadd ) The EFL added that there was only a " marginal " number of under-16s who were subscribed to the fixture syncing , and they therefore considered that the promotional message was not directed at under-16s . Papa Johns also said they did not consider that the ads were directed at children , and they did not have access to the EFL 's subscriber data and therefore were not able to take an independent decision about whether under-16s would be included in the audience . The Advertising Standards Authority ( ASA ) noted that ads for HFSS products must not be directed at under-16s and that no medium should be used to advertise junk food if more than 25% of its audience was under 16 years of age . The ASA found that the EFL had chosen to allow syncing of the calendar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which meant that those who were aged between 13 and 15 years of age were allowed access to the fixture events containing the Papa Johns ' promotional message . The ASA said : " We were not supplied with the number of under-16s who downloaded the fixture events containing the promotional message . Nevertheless , we understood that 0.02% of those who had signed up to sync football fixtures to their e-calendar since May 2021 were under-16 . " The ads , which contained promotional offers for HFSS products , had therefore been sent to a number of individuals under the age of 16 . " For that reason , we considered the EFL and Papa Johns had not taken reasonable steps to exclude under-16s from the audience , and that the ads had been directed at children through the selection of media in which they appeared . " Barbara Crowther , manager of the Children 's Food Campaign at charity Sustain , said : " We 're very pleased that the ASA has shown the red card to Papa Johns Pizza for putting junk food @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ intrusive for anyone just wanting to follow their favourite team , and especially for children under 16 . " The EFL age-gating failed to protect young fans from this promotion , and those who had opted out of receiving additional marketing communications still got these notifications . " That 's why we called a foul and reported it to the ASA . We hope this case sets a useful precedent for protecting all sporting fans from future marketing activity . " We are pleased to see that the EFL has now ended its sponsorship deal with Papa Johns Pizza , and it 's time for the Government to blow the whistle and kick junk food marketing out of sport for good .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'pulled out of appearing' which does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'pulled out of appearing' is more about voluntary withdrawal rather than causing or preventing an action.

Danny Cipriani has broken his silence on claims that he dropped out of his I 'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here ! stint following reports that he was set to enter the jungle . The former Gloucester Rugby pro seemed to confirm that he had ditched the ITV reality series as he shared the real reason why he did n't go ahead with his planned trip to Australia . Just days before the 2023 series began airing last month , it was suggested that Danny had pulled out of appearing on the show , although it was n't known at what point he had dropped out . Reports suggested that Danny had had second thoughts due to the breakdown of his marriage . Danny confirmed recently that he and ex-wife Victoria Rose had parted ways , but made no mention of this when discussing his decision not to go ahead with entering camp while appearing on This Morning earlier today ( Wednesday , December 20 ) . Jungle favourite Josie Gibson questioned Danny on his supposed jungle stint , with the This Morning presenter confessing that she was expecting him to walk into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by The Mirror , Danny told presenters that he was offered the chance to appear in the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special , instead . After being given the choice of Strictly or the jungle , Danny opted for Strictly , despite being in talks to enter the latter . " I just felt like doing the two-step to be honest , the Cha Cha Cha , " Danny confessed . " It was that or eating some bugs . " Back in August , a source told Mail Online that Danny was confirmed for the show .

Danny Cipriani has broken his silence on claims that he dropped out of his I 'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here ! stint following reports that he was set to enter the jungle . The former Gloucester Rugby pro seemed to confirm that he had ditched the ITV reality series as he shared the real reason why he did n't go ahead with his planned trip to Australia . Just days before the 2023 series began airing last month , it was suggested that Danny had pulled out of appearing on the show , although it was n't known at what point he had dropped out . Reports suggested that Danny had had second thoughts due to the breakdown of his marriage . Danny confirmed recently that he and ex-wife Victoria Rose had parted ways , but made no mention of this when discussing his decision not to go ahead with entering camp while appearing on This Morning earlier today ( Wednesday , December 20 ) .

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

It 's been a rollercoaster year for mortgage rates and after the inflation panic spike over summer , lenders have been slashing costs for borrowers . The best mortgage rates are now falling towards 4% , whereas not so many months ago they were rising towards 6% - and many deals climbed above that . So is the mortgage crisis over and how much further will rates fall ? After the CMA fired a broadside at consumer brands giants for ' greedflation ' and warned Tesco and Sainsbury 's over Clubcard and Nectar Prices , the podcast team head down the shops . Plus , will a new online fraud charter make any difference ? The team discuss investing legend Charlie Munger and financial crisis Chancellor Alistair Darling , who both died this week . And finally , what makes a house price hotspot ? We look at the UK 's top 30 this year . Was that an Autumn Statement to fire Britain on to growth , as the Chancellor claimed , or a damp squib ? The podcast team dive into the details to reveal what the Autumn Statement means for you and the economy . From the Office of Budget Responsibility forecasts , to being allowed multiple Isas and the seemingly mad plan of allowing family homes to be easily converted to flats , we take the measure of Jeremy Hunt 's plans . The Autumn Statement arrives next week and the rumour mill has gone into overdrive . The idea of it being a simple update on the economy seems to have been abandoned and instead there is talk of an Isa overhaul , tax changes , and even inheritance tax being cut from 40 per cent to 20 per cent . The This is Money podcast team look at what could be on the cards as Jeremy Hunt stands up and delivers his Autumn Statement . We all know pensions are important but most of us rarely engage with them . Yet , with a little bit of time and effort , you can get your work pension working as hard as possible for you - and at some point in the future you will be very glad you did so . We talk pensions , plus what happens if you get stuck in a mortgage with your ex , why is Lee so annoyed at a sneaky insurance tax that swiftly adds up and can M&S 's sales and share price resurgence continue ? Are we finally there ? When does a pause become a peak ? And if we have reached the top of the interest rate cycle , what happens next ? We look at the decision to hold rates again and what it means for savers , mortgage borrowers and investors . Plus , Crane on the Case vs TfL , high-flying investment trusts going cheap and finally , what have the Premium Bonds and a pop quiz on number one hits in 2000 and 2008 got to do with each other ? Wages are up , but inflation is ... the same . What does it all mean for mortgage rates , the state pension , benefits and the economy generally ? One thing we know wo n't be affected by the latest figure is income tax bands . Just how much is the big freeze - AKA fiscal drag - going to cost us ? Will there be a big house price fall , a pause before a general election next year , or will the property market rebound as mortgage rates come down ? The podcast team discuss what 's next for mortgages , house prices and the property market . Plus , why are investors buying low-yield gilts , how to save for retirement and the sneaky supermarket tricks we have had enough of . This week , Angharad Carrick , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Helen Crane tackle energy bills and look at who might be paying more in the next three months . And when it comes to water bills , some firms are looking at whacking 44% rises over the next seven years . Why ? It 's been called the most hated tax in Britain - but only four per cent of people pay it . You could be forgiven for thinking inheritance tax is something only the super-rich need to worry about . But thanks to rising house prices and an increasing desire to transfer wealth between generations , more and more people are being drawn into the net . So it might come as welcome news that Rishi Sunak is reported to be considering cutting the tax , or even scrapping it altogether , as a potential vote-winner ahead of the next election . What 's wrong with inheritance tax , how could it be made fairer - and could the Government really just get rid of it ? Simon Lambert , Helen Crane and Georgie Frost discuss . It 's expensive and paid for by current workers , but the triple lock has improved the state pension - and one day those workers should get that payout themselves . Yet , has it run its course and is it time for a better policy ? Plus , the Facebook Marketplace wild west , vanishing savings deals , and what to do if you have viewed 40 homes for sale but ca n't make up your mind . Every child could receive a pot of ? 1,000 at birth to be channelled into long-term investments in UK growth under proposals to revive a ' stagnant ' economy . This week , Lee Boyce , Simon Lambert and Georgie Frost discuss the merits of the idea - and why parents should start building a pot for children as early as possible . Plus , a trio of great savings deals , are interest rates peaking , how far will house prices fall and why are used electric car values dropping like a stone ? According to new research , if you want a comfortable retirement , you need to build a pot of nearly ? 600,000 . This week , Tanya Jefferies , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Helen Crane delve into pensions , as separate research shows more than half of people saving into one believe they will never put away enough to stop working when they get older . Many people may be feeling in a state of financial flux . Savings rates have improved , gold is holding steady , property prices are flat-lining and stocks are sticky . Where would you put your money for the next five years ? That 's the question the This is Money team put to the experts - and our readers - with a mixed response . The inflation spike took central banks , governments and many ordinary people by surprise but Britain 's cost of living problem has proved more stubborn that most . The latest set of official figures on consumer prices index inflation seem to show that the UK may be making some headway on getting it down . The podcast team dig into the inflation data and look at why economists decide that real wage growth was something to worry about . After months of mortgage mayhem some better news finally arrived this week with major lenders delivering a slew of hefty rate cuts . Cuts are the silver lining to a very dark cloud as mortgage rates are far higher than they have been . We look at what next , plus Premium Bonds , good customer service and carrier bags . This week , the team talk through customer service gripes with HMRC and what a retired judge learned while acting as executor for his beloved late aunt . Base rate is now 5.25% , so what does that mean for mortgages and savings - and why do people want plastic lawn banned ? Energy firms have had their feet held to the fire this week . The industry as a whole has been blasted by the regulator Ofgem over poor customer service , while our investigation revealed that 200 customers do n't think Ovo has been billing them properly . Lee Boyce , Helen Crane and Georgie Frost ask why things are going so wrong , and what people can do if they do n't think they are being billed correctly . Earlier in the week , the consumer prices index measure of inflation fell by more than expected thanks to a fall in transport and food prices . So what does that mean for the typical household and for potential future base rate rises ? Lee Boyce , Sam Barker and Georgie Frost delve into CPI and what that means for mortgages and savers . Banks have come into the firing line this week over current account closures and slowness to pass on base rate rises to savers . Nigel Farage claims his bank shut his current account over his Brexit views - the former politician has been vocal on Twitter about his treatment by Coutts , while the exclusive bank with a high net wealth clientele has fired back . So , can banks realistically do that to you ? Georgie Frost , Simon Lambert and Lee Boyce tell you all the reasons your bank can close your current - and what to do if it happen to you . There has been plenty of doom and gloom in recent months - and today , we go searching for cheerier news . The energy price cap will fall from the weekend , plunging to ? 2,074 - below the ? 2,500 set Energy Price Guarantee from the Government . So , what should you be doing to prepare - and what does that mean for your usage ? Will we soon see the return of fixed tariffs ? This week Georgie Frost , Helen Crane and Lee Boyce discuss the new price cap , along with a sneaky move from a major energy supplier to stop quarterly billing . The Bank of England 's bumper 0.5 per cent rate hike this week was the 13th rise in a row . The Bank is hiking rates to try to crush inflation but at the same time this affects a much smaller slice of homeowners than it once did and rapid rise in mortgage costs is crushing a generation of homeowners . So , was another rate rise a wise move ? How bad is the pain for borrowers ? Is this not a patch on the 80s , or just as bad ? Has the Bank of England even given its rate rises long enough to take effect ? The mortgage market is in chaos , with lenders pulling deals and rapidly hiking rates . At the same time savings rates are going gangbusters and there is barely a day that passes without a new best buy . The podcast team dive in and try to explain why the sudden inflation-driven chaos has kicked off and what borrowers and savers can do . Supporters say UBI has the power to improve the economy and society , but critics say it 's the start of a slippery slope to state dependency . So is universal basic income a good or bad idea ? Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert discuss it on this podcast episode . Plus , why are n't energy bills lower , what should you do if you are caught in the mortgage storm and which shares have done the best this year ? Forget 5 per cent savings rates . Forget 7 per cent . A new regular savings deal has landed paying a headline-grabbing 9 per cent . But , is it actually a good deal ? And cash Isas are back with a bang with a record amount poured into tax-free accounts in March and April . We had some good news this week about our energy bills - or did we ? Ofgem 's price cap is coming down - saving households around ? 400 a year on average . The last 18 months have been horrendous for households , so bad the Government had to step in in October and introduce a price freeze - but that was still double what the typical bill payer would have had to fork out a year previously . Are we finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel , and when will fixed tariffs be back ? Plus inflation , mortgage and savings rate rises , the US debt ceiling and ' campervanflation ' . Almost five times as many people will soon be paying 40 per cent tax than in the early 1990s , when it was seen as a tax bracket reserved for the rich , the Institute for Fiscal Studies warned this week . We discuss tax and who counts as wealthy . Plus how much have you lose to inflation , Nationwide 's new ? 100 bung would you buy food past its best before date ? And there it was , another interest rate hike . Another quarter point move up seems almost commonplace now but cast your mind back to the era after the financial crisis and we had to wait nearly ten years for the base rate to climb above its 0.5 per cent ' emergency level ' . We discuss the latest rate rise and how high interest rates will go . Plus , the return of 100% mortgages , and how to avoid your family 's inheritance turning into Succession . We dig into the myriad problems with UK housebuilding and what can be done to build better homes that people want to buy and have near them . Is the answer just bringing back targets or is it more complicated than that ? Plus , what to do if you can afford to buy but are worried about mortgages and house prices , will a new crackdown stop fraudsters and should you grab a 5% savings rate ? Poor old conservatories . Once they were all the rage and now we are being told they could knock ? 15,000 off the value of a house . Meanwhile , a home office in the garden is said to add lots of value , but who has ever longed for once of those in the same way they 've dreamed of a swimming pool on a hot day ? Yet , the pool is one of the main things that will apparently put off prospective buyers . We look at the things claimed to boost your property 's value and those detracting from it . Plus , cheap bank shares , the other Woodford fund and 5% savings rates . The average prize fund rate on Premium Bonds has reached the heady heights of 3.3 per cent - going head-to-head with top easy access savings deals . But what many savers may not realise is that their chance of winning a big Premium Bonds prize of ? 100,000 or ? 50,000 has got much better too . On this podcast , we talk Premium Bonds , food inflation , loyalty cards and member prices . As if buying a home was n't enough of a lottery , borrowers are now facing a major gamble on their mortgage . Whether buying or remortgaging , they need to work out how long to fix for and try to assess what might happen next to interest rates . We discuss that , house prices , UK shares and odd classics . The Government is delaying a decision on hiking up the state pension age to 68 until after the next election - perhaps influenced by protests across the channel . Pension commentators said move would be ' incredibly unpopular ' , and likely ' political suicide ' . Governments do n't like to upset retirees because they vote in high numbers - but maintaining the status quo is incredibly expensive . Has something ultimately got to give when it comes to the state pension age and maintaining the triple lock ? On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost is joined by Tanya Jefferies and Helen Crane to discuss . Just when you thought the cost of living crisis was meant to be on its way out another round of bill hikes are hitting.From council tax to mobile bills , seemingly every organisation wants another piece of your bank account - and some of the rises are even higher than inflation . Is there anything you can do about it ? Could a bit of switching , planning and another round of cutting back on energy usage , shave some money off ? A bung for the rich or a move that will help many more young professional savers aspire to a decent retirement ? The podcast team delve into the Budget and joining them to explain the pensions element is a special guest , This is Money 's retirement columnist and ex-pensions minister Steve Webb . Also in the Budget was news on the economy , a ray of hope on energy bills , and a big expansion of 30 hours free childcare . And finally , should you be worried by the Silicon Valley Bank collapse ? A banking crisis has seemingly emerged out of nowhere , in a system that we 've been told is stable , well capitalised and far from its parlous state when the credit crunch and financial crisis struck . So , what is going on and why did both the Federal Reserve in the US and the Bank of England see fit to raise interest rates this week ? Plus , why you should consider selling some investments , what to do with your savings and Pok ? mon card investing . You 'd like to imagine that when it came to the state pension , you 'd be dealing with a more robust system than the ones that deliver the average customer service nightmare . Savers could be forgive for questioning whether that was the case after a string of recent blunders . On this podcast , we discuss a double header of state pension news , plus the best cash Isas and why transfers matter , Dividend Hero investing and whether you could afford your home now . House prices have started to fall annually for the first time since the early months of the pandemic . Nationwide 's latest index shows the biggest fall since 2012 , with higher mortgage rates and the cost of living crisis continuing to squeeze the property market . We discuss why this is happening , and whether it is a bad thing . There 's not long left until the end of the tax year - and that means it is time to sort your Isa if you have n't already . On this Isa saving and investing special podcast , Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert talk all things Isas - from finding the best saving rates , to how to invest and how to boost your chance of investment success if you already have a stocks and shares Isa . We look at how likely those interest rate forecasts are to be correct and what this all means for the economy , mortgages , savings and first-time buyers . Plus how we exposed another round of state pension blunders , with Steve Webb joining the show , the best type of Isa for you and the tumble driers that slash costs . Officially , the rise to 68 is set to happen between 2044 and 2046 , but ministers allegedly want to bring forward the change to 2035 with the policy being floated for inclusion in the March Budget . The rumours are concerning for those aged between 43 and 54 , but how likely this is to actually happen - and what can pension savers do to prepare for it ? The podcast team also look at whether mortgage rates will go below 4% , why Premium Bonds are looking more attractive and why customers ca n't make up their minds about whether they love or hate John Lewis . An astonishing idea for an Isa tax raid has been outlined by the Resolution Foundation , with the proposal that tax-free savings and investments should be capped at ? 100,000 . No more aspiring to be an Isa millionaire , it would be ? 100k and out under this plan . The podcast team tackle that idea , plus a new top Avios deal , extra clothes to cut bills and we speak to Bank of Dave 's Dave Fishwick . We will all have a different image in our heads of what our retirement years might look like , but whatever that is it is important to think about another question : could you afford to do those things ? The podcast team delve into a report that looks at putting a price on different retirements , discuss inheritance tax and whether it is grabbing too much of some people 's homes and ask if cash can help with budgeting . The New Year arrived with promises of inflation falling and a ray of hope on energy bills . But even if Rishi Sunak halves inflation , as he claims he will , it would still be running at 5 per cent and his promise to get Britain back to growth may prove harder than the simple maths that sees the rate of rises in the cost of living slow . The team delve into the prospects for the year ahead , look at what 's on the cards for the property market , pensions and savers and if Premium Bonds are a must have . Tumultous is a word that does n't really do 2022 justice . Most people were looking forward to a year of calm as the Covid pandemic faded , but instead got turmoil and the cost of living crisis . Georgie Frost , Helen Crane and Simon Lambert take a look back at the big financial events of 2022 and look forward to 2023 on this special year end podcast . First we had the great resignation and now we may be seeing a new trend emerge ' unretirement ' . Why do people want to take early retirement , why may some now be returning to work - and what would tempt more back to boost productivity and the economy ? Plus , the stock market winners and losers of 2022 , can a log burner really save you money and what are the used cars that went up in value the most this year . With inflation looking as if it has peaked , the economy probably already in recession , households and businesses feeling the squeeze , have we nearly reached the end of the rate hikes ? We look at how close we are to the end of the rate cycle and what it all means for mortgages and savings . Plus , what people can do to keep themselves warm but save on energy and what might happen next to bills The risk of a severe house price downturn of that magnitude was flagged by Rightmove founder and property market veteran Harry Hill . On this week 's podcast we discuss the prospects for the housing market , how the rapid rise in mortgage rates is affecting it and what prospective home movers or first-time buyers should do . Plus , Lee Boyce is back to talk Wooden Spoon , we discuss small building societies with big rates and get a guest appearance from Hagerty classic car specialist John Mayhead to discuss its Bull List . Rising savings rates and fiscal drag pulling more people into the higher rate bracket mean that many more savers will now have to pay tax on interest - while Jeremy Hunt 's tax raid on investors will see the capital gains tax allowance slashed to ? 6,000 and then ? 3,000 . We explain what you need to know . Plus , Steve Webb makes a guest appearance to discuss a delayed state pension victory and the pension credit fiasco and finally , why are used car prices starting to fall ? Savings and mortgage rates rocketed but even as the Bank of England continues to raise rates have they already gone as high as they will ? The This is Money podcast team discuss that , plus where will mortgage rates settle and the implication for both house prices and first-time buyers , alongside the new energy price cap and why it has jumped and how good are a bunch of oddball devices designed to warm the person not the room . In a blizzard of hikes - through threshold drops and stealth tax freezes - Hunt worked his way through a painful Autumn Statement , where good news was thin on the ground . The silver linings came from the government sticking by the pension triple lock and uprating benefits by inflation but the focus was on painful years ahead . We look at what it means . So many kites have been flown about potential tax rises that even taxing selling your own home and bringing back the 50p rate were floated as potential Autumn Statement ideas troubling Jeremy Hunt and Rishi Sunak 's minds . The PM and Chancellor want you to think they are serious , but could this bout of tax hike speculation do lasting harm to the economy ? What can be done to improve things in the rental market and have we come down too hard on buy-to-let ? That 's the question asked on this week 's podcast , as Georgie Frost , Helen Crane and Simon Lambert debate the problems in the rental market . But before that , it 's time for Rishi Sunak . Will he be able to soothe jittery markets , navigate Britain through a painful cost of living crisis winter , and somehow please the nation while taking money off people instead of dishing it out ? With Jeremy Hunt 's stern reversal tax cuts and a firm commitment to not come up with any more cunning plans that might upset the markets , is Britain now on a firmer economic footing ? Or will our quest for yet another Prime Minister spell more trouble ahead ? Britain 's economic predicament , the triple lock , house prices and how much energy we use are on the podcast agenda . If you were asked to name a world-class place to surf , a field near Bristol is n't the first location that would come to mind . But this slice of the English countryside is home to The Wave , an artificial surfing lake that is one of just a handful in the world to use cutting edge technology and was the first of its kind . For this special bonus interview episode of the This is Money podcast , Simon Lambert visited The Wave to meet Nick , be shown around and hear the story of his more than decade-long journey to get waves breaking and people riding them . When gilts hit the headlines it 's a clear sign that trouble has not only been brewing but has been unleashed . Government bond yields only tend to break through into the mainstream when things are n't going well and they have been firmly in the spotlight since Kwasi Kwarteng 's ill-fated mini-budget . But what is a gilt , why does its yield matter , what 's that got to do with prices and why do we worry about such things ? In this podcast we look . Rocketing rates have sent the average two and five-year fixed rate mortgage through the 6 per cent barrier , so what happens next and how bad will things get ? Plus , as savings rates jump should you fix , some middle-class tax cutting plans that should prove more popular than axing the 45p rate and a mystery rock star 's valuable letters and tax question . This week , Georgie Frost , Simon Lambert and Lee Boyce tackle what has been a truly remarkable one in the world of personal finance with a message of : do n't panic . So , is the UK economy in crisis ... again ? How much is the Chancellor 's ' mini ' Budget to blame ? And what can the Government do now ? Britain 's new Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng delivered a blistering mini-Budget this week that was anything that small . A wave of tax cuts were unleashed . Some had been heavily trailed , such as NI and stamp duty , but there were also two rabbits out of the hat on income tax . The team discuss what the going for growth mini-Budget means for people , how much they may save in tax , and whether it will work or cause the UK economy even more problems down the line . The Bank of England is tipped to raise interest rates by at least 0.5 per cent this week , but the pound fell to a 37-year low last week . That comes against a backdrop of inflation edging down slightly to 9.9 per cent - taking Britain out of the double-digit inflation club - with a colossal rescue plan to save households and businesses from spiralling energy prices about to kick in . The This is Money podcast team look at the pound , energy bills , inflation and interest rates , how all these issues connect and what could happen next ? To celebrate his 300th column , Steve joins Tanya , Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert for a special podcast episode to answer readers ' questions . It 's a dive into what you need to know about pensions , ranging from saving for retirement , to investing in your pension years and , of course , the state pension and triple lock . Belts are already being tightened and as bills head even higher more people will look to save where they can.But are there some things that you should avoid doing or cutting back on at all costs ? Editor Simon Lambert came up with his five false economies to avoid as inflation bites , but was he right to pick them ? The team discuss them on this podcast episode . Inflation is soaring and if predictions are correct , it would result in the CPI measure hitting 13% this autumn . That could result in a state pension rise of around ? 1,000 a year to ? 10,900 while even at the current level of 10.1% it would be upped to ? 10,600 . Inflation is up again with CPI now measured at 10.1% , the highest since February 1982 , when Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister . Lee Boyce , Helen Crane and Georgie Frost discuss the higher than forecast inflation rate and what is driving it . This week , Georgie Frost and Lee Boyce are joined by a special guest : James Blower , AKA The Savings Guru , who gives his take on where savings rates are heading next . With the lesser known challengers paying the best rates , how do you know they 're any good ? And should you fix now or wait ? The idea of the Bank of England raising base rate by 0.5 percentage points at the same time as warning about a long and painful recession would have been unthinkable a year ago . But things have dramatically changed and central banks are desperately trying to get a grip on runway inflation that just seems to keeo getting worse . The podcast team discuss the rate rise and potential recession and what it means for borrowers , savers , the economy and our financial near future . This summer has seen travel demand rebound and for many , it could be their first overseas jaunt since before the pandemic . For that reason , there may be some rusty holidaymakers out there . But fear not , Lee Boyce , Helen Crane and Georgie Frost are at hand to help get you in the holiday mood ( kind of ) . Financial independence and retiring early sounds great , but could you sacrifice enough of your spending to get there ? The FIRE movement involves living a frugal live , saving as much of your income as possible - 50 per cent or more - and investing to build a pot to retire early on . Could you do this and would the This is Money podcast 's Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert be able to stomach the hardcore budgeting and saving it requires ? This is Money 's Simon Lambert recently came up with his ten money rules , ranging from learning to budget and saving a rainy day pot , to being generous when you can afford it and not being afraid to take risks . He runs us through his thoughts behind those financial lessons and Georgie Frost and Lee Boyce chip in with their ideas for some money rules to live your life by . The economy is struggling , an inflation crisis is in full swing and the Bank of England is raising rates into a recession , yet at the end of a tumultuous week we are not just down one Prime Minister but a Chancellor too - and are n't quite sure if the new man in the job will be sticking around very long . We look at what the change in Prime Minister could mean for the UK 's economy , businesses and households - and what a new Chancellor might do and the challenges they will face . Many motorists will have received a dreaded charge in the post and in some cases , unjustifiably so . If that 's you , it 's time to fight back . Elsewhere , we talk about Halifax 's mortgage move , whether it can pay to fix energy bill , highlight the five FTSE 100 firms with the biggest share price falls this year and how small business owners tackle telling their customers that price rises are afoot . Is n't it a bit of an odd time to finally get rid of this , just as interest rates are finally rising and the base rate has jumped from 0.1 per cent to 1.25 per cent in six months ? We discuss why the Bank of England is doing this and whether it is the right move , or could lead to risky lending and even higher house prices ? Plus , inflation-fighting savings , current accounts to switch to , why investors are n't buying the dips , and can your neighbour build on your wall ? The base rate has gone from 0.1 per cent to 1.25 per cent in the space of six months , in a flurry of rate rises that would have been considered unthinkable a year ago . With inflation running at 9 per cent and expected to head north into double digits soon , the onus is on the Bank of England to show it has a grip and we are n't heading back to the 1970s . But is rapidly raising rates the right thing to do and how will it affect savers , borrowers and investors ? More state pension mistakes from the DWP and a warning we are n't saving enough in pensions is on the agenda of this podcast . The team discuss what you can do to make sure you are putting enough into your pension and why the self-employed need to pay particular attention . Plus , is it time to look again at Scottish Mortgage , big theme investing ideas and should we cut VAT on petrol ? Britain descended into holiday chaos this week , as airlines cancelled hundreds of flights , airports struggled to cope and even Eurostar ended up with a day of disruption . The team discuss where the blame lies for the disruption , what people 's rights are if their flights are cancelled and what we can all do to protect ourselves . Sudden Wealth Syndrome . It 's a thing apparently and something that many of us probably would n't mind suffering from . That 's the term used to describe those who suddenly - and perhaps unexpectedly - come into a very large sum of money . And doing so brings plenty of benefits but also its own problems . We have heard about the couple who won ? 184m on the Euromillions , but what are the challenges they face and how do you deal with that sum of money ? Inflation continues to surge , the Bank of England says there is little it can do to stall it but is raising rates any way , and at the same time is warning of a potential recession looming . It seems safe to say this is n't the Covid recovery year that many people were hoping for : the longed-for bout of calm and optimism has turned out to be a cost of living crisis instead . So , with inflation now at 9 per cent and set to rise further and central banks swiftly changing their tune on low interest rates , is a recession inevitable ? Rising interest rates and the cost of living crunch are putting a serious squeeze on how much buyers can borrow . Meanwhile , stories are emerging of lenders getting cold feet on some of the offers that ambitious buyers have had accepted and down-valuing properties . On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert discuss whether house prices can defy gravity once more . More than 40 years after Margaret Thatcher introduced Right to Buy , the current Prime Minister is considering plans to revamp the scheme . Could it unleash a home buying revolution and help give a much needed boost to the Government , or is it a bad idea rehashing an old scheme ? Is there any point trying to save when inflation is so high ? From what the best rates are and where you can get them , to why you should avoid your bank or building society 's ' insult account ' and how to turn a savings habit into an investing one that should hopefully get you a better return , we talk all things saving . What can be done to help customers struggling with soaring bills ? Will Rishi Sunak have to step in with more meaningful help than his ? 200 off now , pay it back later deal ? Should wealthier customers subsidise the bills of the poorer ? And how do we make energy firms get their act together ? We tackle the energy crunch , plus how to save enough for retirement , the Great British Rail Sale wind-up , and Netflix gets a chill . For many homeowners it 's been the case for some years that each time they remortgage , their rate comes down . But with the Bank of England liftng base rate three times in a matter of months , inflation soaring to 7 per cent , and banks and building societies hiking mortgage rates , that is no longer the case . On this podcast we look at what borrowers can do , if rates will keep rising and how inflation fits in . Plus , social broadband , a buy-to-let rebound and fiding a good insurer . This week marks the start of a new tax year and with it a National Insurance rise , a meagre state pension hike and the start of new ' no fault ' divorce system . Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Helen Crane run through what these changes potentially mean for you and why they 're important . It 's the time of year when we are urged to put our money into an Isa or pension , but faced with the choice which should you pick ? On this podcast , Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert look at the perks of each , where the drawbacks are and how you can make an informed decision . What are the essential things you need to know about a stocks and shares Isa and investing in general , whether you are just getting started or an existing investor looking to spruce up their portfolio ? On this special Isa investing podcast , Rob Morgan , chief analyst at Charles Stanley , joins This is Money editor Simon Lambert to discuss how to be a smarter investor . We look at the Spring Statement and whether tax fiddling , a 5p petrol duty cut and some money off solar panels really cut the mustard in the face of a cost of living crisis . Also what 's going on with building costs and how to try to get the best quote from a builder , stick to a budget and protect against price rises and whether to go for an asking price , guide price , or dedmand offers over . Is the BoE right to try to crack down on inflation now , or is it putting the Covid recovery at risk ? And what does this mean for savers , borrowers and investors ? We discuss the rate hike - if you can call a quarter point rise a hike - and how much more of this may be coming down the line . Plus , what are the best shares and funds to stash in your Isa in volatile times , do you have to pay tax on a ? 20,000 bitcoin profit , and would you swap your device trash for cash at Currys ? What would that ? 1million get you though , how much would you need to invest and for how long to get there - and is it enough f or financial independence ? Georgie Frost , Helen Crane and Simon Lambert discuss building your way to a ? 1million Isa and how achievable that might be . Also , mortgage rates and what to do if you need to fix , petrol prices and should you take an energy fixed rate deal ? Russia 's invasion of Ukraine has created a tragic situation that goes far beyond worries about our finances but it will have an impact on them . On this podcast , Georgie Frost , Tanya Jefferies and Simon Lambert look at what that could be . From how the Russian-Ukraine conflict will affect out personal finances : from energy bills , to petrol prices and food , to the immediate volatility it has thrust on to people 's investments , the team look at what is happening and what may happen next . A free ' midlife MOT ' course has been launched aimed at people who want to do a stocktake of their current finances , career and health . This is an idea championed by the finance industry and government . But is it any good ? Investments and pensions editor Tanya Jefferies undertook the course by finance giant Legal & General and the Open University and tells Georgie Frost and Lee Boyce of her experience . Where do you stand on smart meters ? This seemingly common sense technological advance in how we are billed for energy has proved hugely divisive . Now things have stepped up a gear , as an Ofgem change will lead to smart meters being able to send half hour updates to energy providers - opening the door for electricity pricing to change at different times of day . Is this a good idea to help the transition to green energy or a problem in the making ? Plus , how inflation could affect your spending , income and wealth and how to combat that , the weird world of rising used car prices and Bank of Dave the movie . Thursday marked a big day for the pound in our pocket . First of all , it was announced the energy price cap was to rise 54% . Hot on the heels of that bombshell we had another rate rise from the Bank of England - piling pressure on borrowers . Variable price cap-linked energy bills are expected to rise 50% and those with fixes ending face bigger rises , so are there any options to stem the bills shock ? Plus , with editor Simon Lambert one of those people whose fix is imminently ending , what are the options that his energy supplier Octopus has presented him with , and which one is he going to take ? Also on this week 's podcast , the stock market wobble , UK shares and Nationwide finally raising savings rates . Steven Bartlett is the latest star of Dragons ' Den - and we recently caught up with him for a special bonus This is Money podcast episode . In this frank interview with This is Money 's Simon Lambert , Steven tells us his story , the challenges he 's faced in his business life , how he got ahead and his tips for anyone else wanting to start a business . Turning 40 is a milestone birthday - and perhaps the one that gets people thinking most about where they are at in life . But what do you need to think about in terms of your finances , from pensions , to property , investing and saving ? This special birthday podcast looks at people 's financial life around 40 - and includes plenty of tips relevant to those who are much younger or older . Plus we look back at what economic life was like 40 years ago . Banks and building societies have been busy upping mortgage rates , with Nationwide revealing a raft of rises , but savers are still waiting . Nationwide is n't alone , almost all its big building society and banking rivals have also been failing savers for years - and although they blame the low interest rate environment that does n't stop them making bumper profits and paying out blockbuster wages to top executives . So , are they diddling savers or do they have any defence ? It 's safe to say 2021 has been an eventful one for the economy and personal finance - and our podcast has covered it all . Georgie Frost takes a look back at some of the best bits of the show starring Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce , Tanya Jefferies and Helen Crane . Plus , as a special New Year 's bonus , this week 's podcast features an interview with entrepreneur , Diary of a CEO podcaster and new Dragon in the den , Steven Bartlett . Christmas has n't been cancelled but that does n't mean that things have n't been left , right and centre , as the hospitality and entertainment industry once more bears the brunt of Covid . So , what can be done to help pubs , restaurants , cafes , music venues , theatres etc ? And what happens in terms of getting your money back if your event is cancelled or you have to skip it yourself ? Plus , would you invest in fine wine ... or even music ? The team look at how to do both . And finally , is a Christmas update on the PLSA retirement living standards research a cracker or a dud ? They finally did it ! The Bank of England 's Monetary Policy Committee raised the base rate from its emergency 0.1% level to 0.25% . Markets were cheered by the rate rise and economists were broadly welcoming too , yet the general consensus is that it will make little difference to the inflation Britain is suffering . So , why raise interest rates and was this the right move as the nation stares down the barrel of yet more Covid disruption ? We 've all felt it , that moment when you look at your bank balance and think ' I 've spent how much ? ' But what if you looked at an entire lifetime 's worth of spending ? What would the damage be and how painful would that number feel ? According to a recent piece of research by Atom Bank , the cost of living an entire near 81-year lifetime in 2021 would be a whopping ? 1,543,834 . On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert discuss that and why a snapshot like this - vaguely precise as it may be - can help us understand how inflation works and how it can drive up prices . Is it better to leave the heating on low all the time , or switch it on in smaller bursts ? Is the electric blanket cheaper than a kettle-filled hot water bottle ? Does an electric heater cost less to heat a room ? We tackle the common energy questions people regularly ask . Plus reward points , crypto investing and the mystery of the missing doorbell . Chancellor Rishi Sunak revealed a raft of measure which had already been announced - and highlighted the threat of global inflation . Georgie Frost , Simon Lambert and Lee Boyce run the rule on the latest Budget and updated figures on inflation and base rate predictions , alongside where the economy is at ... and potentially heading . Going green used to be presented as a way to save money , but the stark reality that dealing with climate change will mean spending more is dawning . On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert , discuss green bonds and better alternatives and greener homes , their costs and whether there is also better options that we are being presented with right now . Plus , the triple lock , bitcoin at a record high and who gets a present from a skip ? A new report this week highlighted just how unlikely people are to win big prizes . In fact , unless you have a sizeable amount in bonds , you should expect a long wait for anything over ? 25 . But does it matter that you 'd have to wait ages to win ? 50 or more - or are those uninspiring regular ? 25 prizes a much more useful source of returns ? We dig into Premium Bonds , looking at the odds , the study on big prizes , what our readers have told us , and also how many people hold . With inflation on the rise , homeowners nearing the end of their mortgage deals could be tempted to lock in for longer - especially with murmurs of a base rate rise . It comes as rates continue to fall , even on tracker deals . What are the pros and cons on a two , five and even a 10 year fix , and does the flexibility of a tracker mean it could be a worthy option to consider ? Savings rates are on the rise but even if you do find a best buy , do n't get complacent because there 's inflation is running at steam . The problem is that while traditional monetary policy theory dictates that should lead to interest rates rising , we have n't operated under normal conditions since the financial crisis . We look at how long it might be before we get back to a normal situation of savings accounts consistently beating inflation . Plus why investing attack may be the best form of defence and could you live off grid ? The week began with an energy crunch , as households woke up to the problems sending gas prices spiralling - and the impact that could have on their bills . It ended with a needless rush on petrol , as people were told there was no need to panic buy fuel ... and some promptly panic bought it . On this episode we look at what 's driving the problems with our bills and get an update on the state pension fiasco . The cost of living jumped by the largest amount on record to hit 3.2% in August - is it set to run out of control and prompt the Bank of England to raise interest rates ? Meanwhile , a gloomy report has lead to some economists to talk about stagflation once more . What is it , is it a threat and does it matter ? If you 're going to break one manifesto promise , then why not break two ? Why not distract from telling pensioners they ca n't have their potential 8.8 per cent triple lock state pension rise by hiking taxes for everyone . Is the tax rise fair , will it fix social care , should the triple lock have been broken and what should you do if an investment plummets , on this week 's podcast . Among its many surprises , the coronavirus pandemic has delivered a property boom . In pretty much the exact opposite scenario to that almost all experts predicted , the property market has hit fever pitch over the past year and a bit , with more people moving and house prices soaring . We take a look at the property tribes and how they are driving the market - from those who love to move , to those chasing a quick buck , and those whose sole desire is to find the perfect place to stay put . When it comes to state pensions , there has been plenty of talk in recent weeks about the triple lock and what could mean next month when it comes to an uplift . However , more than 2m receive less than ? 100 a week in state pension payments - is there a way to boost your pension ? As Britain 's streets are filled with drivers whizzing deliveries around , there 's a new top scam in town . Parcel and package delivery scams are the most common type of ' smishing ' text messages , a report said this week . The podcast looks at the rise of parcel scams , the new car shortage driving used car prices up , crunch time for the triple lock and whether the bank account battle is back . The lowest two-year fixed rate has been cut to 0.83 per cent and five-year fixed rates are available at 0.99 per cent . While these super low rates are only reserved for those with the biggest deposits , it 's clear that the mortgage price war is back on . We look at what 's driving mortgage rates down and how low home loans might go . Plus , house price snooping , fractional share dealing and emotional investing . From October , millions of households can expect to pay even more on their energy bills . Ofgem is raising the energy price cap for the second time in a year , due to rising wholesale costs . Lee Boyce , Grace Gausden and Georgie Frost take a look at the price cap , what it means and how to potentially beat it . Ministers want us to ditch gas boilers and line our houses with insulation to save the planet , but do the sums add up for cash-strapped homeowners ? Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost take a look at the Government 's aims , if green measures in your home can pay for themselves in the long-run and what it could take to pull Energy Performance Certificate ratings for homes higher . The Government is planning a major crack down on fake reviews . Under the proposals , it will become illegal to pay someone to write , or host , bogus online ratings . How much weight should we put behind buying decisions when it comes to reviews and ratings , and what exactly are the plans to prevent this kind of consumer manipulation ? In a sign of the inflationary times , the cost of renting a car has rocketed to about three times the price of last year and it 's being blamed on the semiconductor shortage . How can a lack of computer chips drive up costs so substantially at the car hire desk ? And what on earth has this got to do with the price of a bag of crisps ? On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Grace Gausden and Simon Lambert look at holidays and inflation and the points where supply and demand are intersecting to create very odd scenarios . The triple lock has always been a hot potato but things have stepped up another gear as it could deliver a bumper 8% state pension increase due to a statistical quirk . Is it fair for pensioners to get a bumper increase based on a distortion caused by the pay pain suffered by workers in lockdown ? Some say ' no ' , others say ' stick to the deal ' . Also this week , the painful cases of those who can not afford funerals for loved ones , the return of gazumping to the property market , and finally , the crazy NatWest banking rule that has forced a reader to have their employer 's bank accounts mixed with theirs in online banking . Yet more people caught up in the underpaid state pension have been unearthed - and tragically , in the two cases we highlight this week , they were n't alive to see justice . This week Lee Boyce , Tanya Jefferies , Steve Webb and Georgie Frost talk all things pensions . House prices have bounced 10 per cent over the past year meaning that the ? 15,000 maximum saving of a year ago on a ? 500,000 home would now come on a property that potentially costs ? 50,000 more . But the false economy of buying as prices soar to save on tax would be double so for any buyer who then missed the deadline and ended up with an extra ? 12,500 bill . Sneaker investing - those in the know do n't call them trainers , apparently - has become a big thing in recent years and as values have risen , so has the volume of fakes . Can anything be done , does it matter and what 's the attraction if investing in sneakers anyway ? The This is Money podcast looks at flash trainers , a space trust , stamp duty and cheap cars . As banks and building societies hint at better rates for those sticking by them and insurers are forced to stop stinging customers , we look at loyalty rewards and penalties . Also on the agenda is Britcoin , the Bank of England 's mooted cryptocurrency . What is the point of a central bank digital currency , what 's a stablecoin , and would the crypto investing crew be interested ? Plus , on the housing market front , the team look at a new idea for the Bank of Mum and Dad and Lee gets into beach huts ... are they a cheap property goldmine ? Yet another house price index has recorded record growth , as Nationwide says the average UK home is now worth ? 243,000 . Most experts say this is down to people 's changing lifestyles during the pandemic and the incentive provided by the Government 's stamp duty holiday . But are there other forces at play ? Fred Harrison , a British author and economic commentator , successfully predicted the previous two property crashes years before they occurred - and his 18-year property cycle theory says that house prices should continue to boom before crashing in 2026 . We explore how accurate this prediction might be , and also look at the other factors shaping the housing market , including tantalisingly cheap mortgages with two-year fixed rates as low as 0.99 per cent The team dig into the statistics , deliver a theory on how much you might need to hold to bag at least one prize a year , and look at whether Premium Bonds are worth having . Also , on the show , crypto corner , paying bills with commemorative coins - and what legal tender really means , why self-storage is the latest thing in short supply and who is investing 's Czech Sphinx ? Inflation is bad news for the pound in your pocket and for savers , but was n't the whole point of all that money printing and rate cutting to get a stronger recovery beat deflation ? On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , George Nixon and Simon Lambert look at why inflation has become a hot topic , how it will affect savers and investors , and what it might mean for moonshot investing and bitcoin . Will there be a surge of bookings , a last minute wait and see game , or a race to grab the few remaining staycation places during the summer holidays ? On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Simon Lambert and Grace Gausden look at the state of play for the travel industry and holidaymakers - and how to protect your hard-earned cash if you do book . This week saw the launch of new book - Never Go Broke : How To Make Money Out Of Just About Anything , co-written by This is Money personal finance editor Lee Boyce . In a podcast special , host Georgie Frost and editor Simon Lambert talk to him about the premise and are joined from Los Angeles by Storage Hunters TV star Jesse McClure , co-author of the book . The expectation is that as lockdown eases and people are released into the hoped for freedom that vaccines bring , they will go on a spending spree . But will that definitely happen and will the economic rebound be strong enough to create a virtuous circle that delivers the much-talked about Roaring Twenties ? Or will people be more cautious and adopt their newfound savings habit more permanently ? Once more into the property breach has stepped the Government , to get banks and building societies to offer more 5% deposit mortgages . But is this a wise move ? Should we stop meddling in the mortgage and property market , as short-term assistance ends up meaning long-term pain as more credit is extended and house prices climb ever higher ? Was the blockbuster Coinbase stock market listing a coming of age for bitcoin and cryptocurrency or a top of the bubble moment ? We look at the Coinbase float and what it means for the crypto and investing world , plus lower risk stable investments instead of rubbish cash Isa rates and the Spac craze . Tanya Jefferies also updates on the womens ' underpaid state pensions scandal and the team look at controversial Barclaycard 's credit limit cuts . What is the future of the office ? Will we ever go back full-time , or is a hybrid model more likely - and if you 're tempted by a shed office , what should you look out for ? On this week 's podcast , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost discuss the future of work and the pros and cons of WFH life , including the ' shoffice . ' Financial scams are on the rise . The coronavirus lockdowns have seen a fresh burst of investment cons with fraudsters impersonating legitimate companies to steal tens of thousands of pounds . We discuss the rising tide of fraud , how to stay safe and what more can be done to combat it . Plus , mortgage prisoners , the Deliveroo float and VW 's mini campervan . The headlines are telling you the property market is running hot , that the stamp duty holiday extension is stoking the fires , and buyers are ignoring the economic slump to pile in . There 's just one problem : your home is on the market and you are n't even getting any offers . Perhaps you are in a property coldspot . We look at how to take the temperature of your local property market , the best Isa investments of all time , green investing and whether cutting electric car grants was wise . What 's the point in an Isa ? This is a regular grumble as savings rates are now so low that earning 1 per cent would be a big deal . But would n't you rather have all of a small amount instead of a small amount minus tax ? And if you are investing , an Isa makes a lot of sense - embracing your gains and dividends in a nice tax-free wrapper . On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert talk Isas : from the classics , cash and stocks and shares , to the upstarts the lifetime and junior strands . It seems that despite a tough lockdown being imposed and schools being closed , the UK has adapted to restrictions better than thought when it comes to doing business.We discuss the prospects for recovery and also the businesses that have pivoted and started-up over the lockdown year . Meanwhile , a growth stock wobble in the US has sent Scottish Mortgage sliding , but a rapid bounce back erased some of those losses . Should investors be worried or is it a buying opportunity ? The Budget this week was notable for two things : Firstly , The Chancellor decided to delay settling the coronavirus bill to another day and , secondly , the true scale of the women 's underpaid state pension scandal was laid bare at ? 3billion . So , will Rishi 's Sunak 's third Budget in a year be what Britain 's economy needs to achieve escape velocity as lockdown eases ( and hopefully never comes back ) ? Rumours are swirling ahead of the Budget that Rishi Sunak will extend the stamp duty holiday by three months ? The idea is that this would help stop the collapse of chain after chain as buyers pull out , renegotiate or have to find more money if they miss the deadline . But would n't a three-month delay just kick the can down the road by another 12 weeks and lead to another cohort of buyers potentially affected ? Would it be better to just make the stamp duty holiday a permanent vacation from a bad tax ? Since the stamp duty holiday came in last summer , there has been a property market mini-boom despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic . Is it losing puff yet and if not , when is it going to run out of steam and will we see the tax holiday extended ? Why did n't GDP fall in the final stretch of last year , is there any way we could we claw our way to growth , and how bad was the coronavirus year of 2020 for the UK ? Also on the show , are we finally going to see an end to the scam refund lottery from banks for those conned into sending money to fraudsters ? Why has Tesla bought bitcoin , what does it mean and what on earth is Elon Musk playing at with his crypto tweets at the moment ? Investing mistakes can be among those that are tough to swallow and own up to . Often the easiest thing is to brush them under the carpet and try not to think about it too much . But looking at where we slipped up and learning from it is an important part of long-term investing . We discuss what can go wrong and invite you to share your blunders . The GameStop shares saga is remarkable , but should it have been allowed to get this far ? Should the trading platforms have tried to nip this in the bud , should watchdogs protect small traders involved and other investors , or in a free market should we just let people get on with stuff ? We discuss that and whether it is really a rallying point for a financially disenfranchised generation , or a get-rich-quick bandwagon being jumped ? In case you had n't noticed , bitcoin went on bit of a tear recently . And as the price of the leading cryptocurrency soared again , so did the number of stories written about it . But the vast majority of those column inches focus on two things : bitcoin 's price and should you invest ? A question that 's not so much asked is what should you do if you 've reaped handsome profits on bitcoin or another cryptocurrency ? More than five years since pension freedom arrived a solution to take the pain out of investing in retirement is being lined up . Keeping a pension invested and drawing on it as you choose in retirement has proved a very popular option . It is also a very tricky one to navigate - but now some simple help is at hand , so will it crack the conundrum of pension freedom without the pain ? This , Santander 123 cuts and big ticket inflation on the podcast . It 's probably been the gloomiest start to a year for as long as many can remember . So what happened ? The UK stock market jumped , of course . Contrary as this may seem , there is some logic to investors buying into the hope that better times lie ahead . On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert look at what the fresh lockdown means for the economy and why investors are choosing to look straight through it and develop a new appetite for buying British . Making predictions can be a mug 's game and never has that proved more true than for any made at the start of 2020 . It 's been an astonishing year , when the lives and freedoms we took for granted were dramatically disrupted - and one where ordering people to stay at home triggered the biggest economic crash in the UK since the Great Frost of 1709 . On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert look back over 2020 and by popular podcast listener demand combine it with the return of a socially-distanced Zoom Christmas taste test . Is buy now , pay later the demon it 's made out to be ? Klarna , Laybuy and the rest of the delayed spending crew are coming in for lots of scrutiny at the moment . Shoppers love them and shops pay them , but there are concerns on over-spending and the cost of not meeting payments . On this week 's podcast , we discuss the rise of the buy now , pay later firms , how they work , how they make their money on interest-free credit , and why there are worries over what on the surface looks like a great deal . This week , a new in-depth report from the Wealth Tax Commission recommended a one-off ' wealth tax ' on the richest households rather than hiking taxes for the masses . How would it work , could it be a good idea and how unpopular would it prove ? Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost take a look . ' Be greedy when others are fearful . ' Warren Buffett 's investment adage was tested this year and those who followed it would be quids in . So , has the opportunity to go bargain hunting passed ? Could our own humble stock market be one of the last places left where you can do it ? Are we missing a trick and ignoring the fact the world has changed and there is no point talking about cheap value investments , just get on the tech train ? The car itself is n't going anywhere - just the way it is propelled - so how much difference will the 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel cars make ? Is the rise of the electric car inevitable anyway and even with Brexit is it more important what Germany , France and the rest of Europe choose to do , than what the UK decides ? On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert talk electric cars : from what the shift to them means , to what they are like to drive , charge and live with . There have been some clear winners and losers in the rebound from the stock market crash as coronavirus and lockdown hit . There have been some clear winners and losers in the rebound from the stock market crash as coronavirus and lockdown hit . So why did they rise so strongly , is this the much-heralded switch from growth to value investing and what does that even mean ? Murmurs from HSBC HQ this week warned that an overhaul of its business model could leave customers paying a monthly fee for their current accounts . This week , Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost ask whether this is really a possibility , if banking actually is free anyway and what happens next . When lockdown arrived in March it sunk the UK economy . The message was clear : Stay home . And people did just that ; there was a dramatic shift to either working from home or shutting down businesses entirely . Now a second lockdown has arrived for England and the message is once again stay home , but things are very different this time : considerably more remains open . So , what happens now to the economy ? Lockdowns across Britain 's major cities , the tier system and more businesses being forced to close their doors or operate far below usual business levels means the direction of travel has shifted dramatically from the summer 's optimistic reopening of the economy . It 's likely that the UK will emerge from recession with growth over this quarter , but is it on track to head straight back into another slump ? While the world worries about coronavirus , there is another decade-defining event going on - the US election . t 's not normal circumstances though . The second wave of coronavirus and renewed lockdowns have the world 's attention and the election , if not a sideshow , is definitely not as centre stage as we would usually expect . So , does that mean it does n't matter for investors , or should be thinking about it and positioning themselves for the outcome ? The cornerstone of the Prime Minister 's Conservative Party speech this week was turning Generation Rent into Generation Buy with state-backed 95 per cent mortgages . The idea is that this will help first-time buyers frozen out by the need for big deposits - and combining it with long-term fixed rates will reduce risk ? Lockdown Britain has produced a nation of savers , ONS figures showed this week , with people salting away almost 30 per cent of their disposable income on average . But for those hoping that we might finally have got the savings habit , there 's a catch . Those figures cover April to June , a three-month period when most shops were shut , along with pubs , restaurants , hotels and B&Bs , and going on holiday was a near-impossible task . Deprived of the opportunity to spend , Britain put money aside instead - but is not spending the same as saving ? Despite some well-desrved scepticism , talk of a property market more buoyant than it 's been in years , of viewings and offers flooding in and family homes in hot demand , does n't seem to just be the usual estate agent guff . The stamp duty holiday and lockdown itchy feet have combined to make parts of the market a sellers ' one , so as a buyer what can you do to get a decent offer accepted and avoid overpaying ? As if 2020 was n't already proving to be a painful enough year , fraud has soared in lockdown . Cases are up 43 per cent in lockdown , according to Action Fraud figures , and the amount lost is up a staggering 286 per cent - meaning a victim loses ? 8,000 of their savings in average every minute . So could you fall victim to lockdown fraud ? The coronavirus crisis is still here , waves of job losses keep on coming and almost everyone is agreed there is more bad news to come.Yet , shares in the US and house prices in the UK are on the up . Is there anything behind this other than cheap central bank money and the belief that it will keep flowing and propping up asset prices ? On this week 's podcast Simon Lambert and Georgie Frost look at the parallels and differences between the British and American national obsessions of the property market and stock market . A large chunk of workers are unaware that their pension savings are invested in the stock market . Why does that matter ? Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost take a look . Meanwhile , there is a reported rift at the top of government over the state pension triple lock - what could happen to it ? Since the start of lockdown in March , more Britons have ordered supermarket shopping online to be delivered to their door to dodge the crowds and beat the queuing mayhem . This could be perfect time for Marks & Spencer , who will start its long-awaited tie-up with Ocado at the start of September , as the latter ends its 20 year long relationship with Waitrose . We are in the worst recession in living memory for the UK with GDP plummeting by 22.1 per cent in the first six months of 2020 . But strange as it may sound , does that matter ? We knew things would be terrible as the coronavirus lockdown pressed the pause button on the economy and people 's lives . The question is , what next ? Most personal investors are just ordinary people trying to grow their wealth over the long term - and like the population at large many of them care about the world around them . But while it has never been easier to be a DIY investor , how often do people really think about where their money is going and what it is doing ? On this second This is Money investing special podcast , Simon Lambert is joined again by Rob Morgan , Charles Stanley Direct 's pensions and investment analyst , to explore the world of socially responsible investing . The Bank of England upgraded its view on the economy for this year , saying GDP will only fall by a worst-in-a-century 9.5 per cent rather than a worst in 300-odd years 14.4 per cent . It also hinted that negative rates could do more harm than good , so does that mean they are off the table for the UK ? We discuss negative rates : what 's the point , do they have any positives and beyond costing savers ' interest how would they prove harmful ? After a great deal of fuss about air bridges and people being able to go on summer holiday , things suddenly changed last weekend . A swift about turn saw a 14 day quarantine period imposed for those arriving in the UK from Spain at just six hours ' notice . So is this the end of summer holidays for 2020 ? We talk holidays , travel insurance , refunds , and whether even a staycation is safe . Over the long-term investing in the stock market has proven to be the best way to beat inflation and grow your wealth . But how do you know when the time is right to start ? What are the things to consider when working out what investments might suit you ? And do you need to wait until you are wealthy before you become an investor ? The Chancellor has ordered an urgent capital gains tax review which could hit many homeowners and investors , depending on the outcome . On this week 's podcast , Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce , and Georgie Frost look at what changes could be coming for CGT and why . The showstopper was a big stamp duty cut , the important element was about keeping jobs afloat , and the rabbit out of the hat was a great British meal deal . But the question is , was Rishi Sunak splashing the cash in the summer statement enough to get the nation 's confidence back in the wake of the coronavirus crisis , or will real recovery require more down the line ? The Chancellor 's coronavirus rescue plan for the British economy has been bold and big , but one important part of the workforce feels somewhat hard done by . A chunk of the self-employed have been excluded from Rishi Sunak 's support in a way that employees have not . Anyone who is self-employed and has made more than ? 50,000 in recent years gets no help whatsoever . Is this fair ? In an unpredicted turn of events , the coronavirus lockdown has been good for some when it comes to their bank balances , but others have not been so lucky . For many , lockdown has resulted in surplus cash to tuck away thanks to spending less on everyday life - but for others , the pandemic may have resulted in a loss in income . We dive into the figures to see what 's going on and whether savings rates will continue to plummet . The number of mortgages available for those with a 10% deposit has plummeted by 90% compared since the start of March - should we be concerned and is this triggering a mortgage credit crunch ? Editor Simon Lambert , assistant editor Lee Boyce and host Georgie Frost take a look . There has been a record rise in new investors in Britain during lockdown data suggests , with novices driving the change.What do you need to get started ? This is Money editor Simon Lambert reveals to host Georgie Frost what first timers need to know on building a diverse investment portfolio . before coronavirus we were all told public transport was a good thing , now with restrictions easing and Britain slowly going back to work , people have been told to actively avoid it . Does that mean the inevitable return of the car , or with the Government promising billions to create a new era for cycling and walking , is there a brighter and greener future for mobility ? Could one of the keys be electric bicycles and scooters ? We discuss that and more on this week 's podcast . It 's nearly June , the sun is shining , and right about now people would usually be eagerly anticipating summer breaks they 've booked , or planning where to go away . On this podcast , we talk holidays : where to go , when you might be allowed to , and the all-important financial side involving booking , cancellations and refunds . And finally , what about opting for van life instead ? This week , a government bond auction saw UK gilts sold at a negative rate for the first time , while Bank of England boss Andrew Bailey refused to rule out the base rate flipping below zero . Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost look at the weird world of negative rates - an upside down where investors effectively pay to lend the government money , banks are charged interest for depositing funds with the Bank of England , and you 'd end up being stung rather than rewarded for saving . A This is Money investigation has revealed a string of women who have been underpaid their state pension , but are they just the tip of an iceberg ? On this week 's podcast , our pensions agony uncle Steve Webb and Tanya Jefferies discuss their probe into the matter . Plus we discuss the reopening of the property market and whether house prices will fall and the furlough scheme extension . In all but name it 's now the Santander 1 , 2 , 0.6 account and that does n't quite have the same attraction . The latest Santander 123 account rate cut , trying to turn a profit on mortgage holidays , how we pay for the coronavirus crisis and furlough scheme and the crash in car sales all feature on this week 's This is Money podcast . s this the stock market signalling the start of a coronavirus recovery , or have investors merely been piling in driven by Fomo - the fear of missing out ? On this week 's podcast , we look at the rally , what 's driving it - beyond Fomo - and the history of false dawns in stock market crashes , known as the dreaded dead cat bounce . Plus , how Britain gets back to business , tips for brave holiday bookers and 40-year-old cars that are now classics . Fiat Panda , anyone ? Should you save cash and accept low interest rates , or invest and take the risk that you could lose money ? This is the perennial dilemma for those with some money to set aside , who are looking to build their wealth . And it 's not been made easier by a rollercoaster 20 years . On this episode of the This is Money podcast , we look at how the options fare over the long-term , plus house prices and the businesses fighting insurer Hiscox over coronavirus . The economic destruction of the coronavirus crash was laid bare in a report from the Office of Budget Responsibility this week . But although the OBR forecast an astonishing 35% slump in UK output in the second quarter of this year - with a three-month lockdown - the other side of its chart showed a substantial bounce-back . What will we need to do for that recovery to happen - and what will it look like ? It can be tough to find good news at the moment but we go looking for some on this special podcast to celebrate spring having sprung . And amid the coronavirus gloom , there are some good news stories to tell , from how Britain has adapted to working from home , to the appreciation for our valued frontline workers and NHS staff , the entrepreneurs seeking opportunity in adversity and the ways people are finding to still stay social with friends and family . Until a few weeks ago , it 's unlikely many Britons had ever considered what being furloughed would mean , but now it 's the topic on many workers ' minds . It lies at the heart of the government 's coronavirus jobs rescue scheme - as it seeks to stem redundancies and offers to pay 80% of their wages up to ? 2,500 a month . But is picking up the wage bills of big businesses a wise move , will it help save jobs and is the price worth paying because the cost of not doing it is worse ? The Government has told people not to move home while the coronavirus lockdown is on , and the property market has been frozen as estate agents are instructed not to do viewings and valuations and surveys ca n't happen . Amidst all this , many are asking the inevitable question : ' What will happen to house prices ? ' Businesses and workers risk going bust on an almost unprecedented level , unless a coronavirus rescue plan that works can be cooked up , but how strange will that look ? Helicopter money , people 's QE and a universal basic income are three of the highly unusual measures suggested , but is that wise ? How did Rishi Sunak perform in his first Budget as Chancellor ? Why did stock markets crash ? And why did the base rate fall to 0.25% ? On this week 's podcast , Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost , dissect what has been one of the most turbulent weeks in living memory . We talk talk cash savings deals , the best services to invest , and how to overcome the fear that coronavirus-induced stock market falls have delivered . Elsewhere , we discuss the best new cars of the Geneva Motor Show that got cancelled but had its launches online and Lee Boyce cracks open a low-alcohol beer at Adnams brewery , in Suffolk , and asks : has the taste become better ... and why ? On this episode of the Making the Money Work podcast , comedian Shappi Khorsandi joins Andi Peters and Simon Lambert to discuss how she built a career in comedy , her unusual life as the daughter of an exiled Iranian poet - and how she once hired Alan Carr to work in a charity call centre . This week , savings have been in sharp focus with National Savings and Investments cutting rates on a number of its offerings , including popular Premium Bonds . On this week 's podcast , Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost look at what 's behind the cuts and question : should savers head elsewhere and what is the point of tucking money away for little interest ? We talk to writers , comedians , podcasters and performers Tessa Coates and Stevie Martin about how you can make your money work if you work in the creative industry . From hosting their podcast Nobody Panic , to being in comedy trio Massive Dad , writing scripts and articles , and putting on Edinburgh shows , the pair have a lot of things to juggle . So how can you get ahead in the creative world ? We find out . This week started with rumours of a pension tax relief cut and mansion tax , saw the Chancellor fall on his sword , and ended with people none the wiser about whether a Budget tax raid is more or less likely after all that .

The collapse of Carillion brought how Britain runs itself into the spotlight and also left many workers wondering about their money . But it 's not just their wages that are a concern , the safety of people 's final salary pensions is a major worry , so what keeps them safe ? . Alongside that we discuss the continuing madness of the cryptocurrency boom and the savings postcode lottery . Planning on relying on the state pension to keep you afloat in retirement ? After listening to this week 's podcast , you might want to have a rethink . On this episode , presenter Georgie Frost , consumer affairs editor Lee Boyce and personal finance editor Rachel Rickard Straus discuss what 's in store for the state pension . What will 2018 mean for our finances ? Inflation is forecast to subside , while interest rates are only tipped to rise very gently . Savings rates could continue to rise but house prices are predicted to be flat across the UK . From savings rates , to property prices and the prospects for the UK economy , we take a look on this week 's podcast . Tim Harford , presenter of the BBC 's More or Less , joins us for a second special episode of the This is Money podcast . We talk about facts and stats - checking them , debunking them , reporting them , baffling with them , battling over them . But that 's just the start . Tim argues that we think of facts as being either the truth or lies , but that actually factual claims can form part of our identity . Have you ever really thought about what it is that makes up the modern economy ? These are the things that surround us and we interact with , or depend on , everyday but rarely think about . For this special Christmas edition , Tim Harford , author of Fifty Things that Made the Modern Economy , joins the This is Money team for a guest appearance . It 's time for the annual This is Money Christmas taste test - and our look at how the supermarket business is faring . This year , the contenders are Sainsbury 's for the mass market , Waitrose for the upmarket , and Lidl for the discount challenger . Listen to that and the important money news of the week in the podcast . Behavioural economics tells us that we regularly behave irrationally - and nudge theory has been used by government and organisations around the world . But could you take matters into your own hands , tackle your own temptations and make yourself wealthier , or just happier ? We take a look . Is diesel being unfairly demonised ? Britain 's car industry is crying foul , as not a single new diesel car avoids the Budget tax hike because the test they have to pass has n't come in yet . Is bitcoin in a bubble ? Cryptocurrency fans say no , because while the price has risen tenfold this year , the blockchain and bitcoin have a use . We dive into two things hitting the headlines this week , diesel cars and bitcoin . On the plus side , the Budget brought an income tax cut for most , the promise of more homes being built , and no more stamp duty for most first-time buyers - but the negatives were never far away . Philip Hammond pulled a trick with the abolition of stamp duty for first-time buyers but was that enough to make us to forget the gloomy economic news ? Listen to this week 's podcast . Yes , it 's another Budget . And on Wednesday the Chancellor will hope that he 's the man to ride to the Tory rescue . From help for younger people , to stamp duty cuts , pension tinkering , building more homes and just fixing the roads , in this week 's podcast , we take a run through what might come up and what should be done . Have you ever dreamed of retiring early , or at least choosing to work on your own terms ? There is a niche but growing movement that 's all about financial independence - it 's not necessarily about stopping work completely , but it is about having the choice to do so ( or perhaps just ski instead if you prefer ) . On this week 's podcast , Simon Lambert , Laura Whitcombe and Georgie Frost dive in . What was the point of that Bank of England rate rise ? It was certainly a curiosity , coming alongside a decidedly downbeat Inflation Report.Was the rate rise to dampen inflation , to send a warning sign to borrowers , or just to put a tiny smile on beleaguered savers ' faces ? We look at why it happened and what next on our podcast . What do you need to know about wills , what 's easy , what 's complicated and what are the things you do n't want to think about but have to ? Listen to this week 's podcast to find out , as we also run through the rest of this week 's essential money news . From bank fraud help , to reliable cars and the ones people want to scrap - and will interest rates rise next week ? Inheritance tax is one of the most hated around . Despite the fact that most people will never leave enough wealth to have it charged on their estates , we really do n't like the idea of 40% above a certain amount going to the taxman . But IHT is also a tax that can be avoided . Listen to this week 's podcast to find out how and learn more about the Chancellor 's plan to help the young . Can a nudge in the right direction make you richer ? Professor Richard Thaler thinks so and he got a Nobel prize for economics this week . Why ? Listen to the podcast to find out that and all the other things you need to know about money , from an idea to bring house prices down , to whether you should fix your mortgage , why shares , bonds and other assets move in price - and our start-up competition . Forget coughing fits , pranksters and tumbling letters for a minute . Along with a car crash speech for Theresa May , the Tory party conference also brought a few policies that might make a difference to our financial lives . On this week 's podcast , Simon Lambert , Laura Whitcombe and Georgie Frost take a tour through them - and whether they have any chance of working - alongside the rest of the money news you need to know about . How worried should we be about what a sharp turn in a different economic direction from Labour could mean for the economy ? And should we just be worried about the economy anyway , or is that rumoured Bank of England rate hike a sign that things are absolutely fine ? On this week 's This is Money podcast , Simon Lambert , Georgie Frost and Lee Boyce take a look at whether the UK 's glass is half empty or half full . This week the team take a look at whether interest rates really could rise before the end of 2017 and what to do next with your mortgage rate . We also look into pension problems , talk about our collective energy switch and whether you should be excited about the new ? 10 note . This is Money has had a string of questions from readers looking to give their cash to children or grandchildren but who also wish to protect it from being squandered or lost in a relationship break-up . On this week 's This is Money podcast , Simon Lambert , Rachel Rickard Straus and Georgie Frost discuss why people are worried and what they can do - if anything . Plus , cheap emerging markets investment trusts , when interest rates could rise and can you pass a driving theory test ? In this episode top financial broadcaster Georgie Frost joins This is Money 's Lee Boyce and Rachel Rickard Straus to talk through the week 's big money stories and what they mean for you . They explain how you could still claim for missold PPI - even if you 've had a claim rejected , how you can help family and friends save hundreds of pounds by helping them switch utility providers and Lee and Rachel go head to head over cashback websites. |

Reasoning
×
The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'have made a career out of having adventures or doing comedy' involves the verb 'made' with 'a career' as its object, followed by 'out of' and then gerund phrases 'having adventures' and 'doing comedy'. However, the NP object 'a career' does not function as a causee, and the sentence does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

It 's been a rollercoaster year for mortgage rates and after the inflation panic spike over summer , lenders have been slashing costs for borrowers . The best mortgage rates are now falling towards 4% , whereas not so many months ago they were rising towards 6% - and many deals climbed above that . So is the mortgage crisis over and how much further will rates fall ? After the CMA fired a broadside at consumer brands giants for ' greedflation ' and warned Tesco and Sainsbury 's over Clubcard and Nectar Prices , the podcast team head down the shops . Plus , will a new online fraud charter make any difference ? The team discuss investing legend Charlie Munger and financial crisis Chancellor Alistair Darling , who both died this week . And finally , what makes a house price hotspot ? We look at the UK 's top 30 this year . Was that an Autumn Statement to fire Britain on to growth , as the Chancellor claimed , or a damp squib ? The podcast team dive into the details to reveal what the Autumn Statement means for you and the economy . From the Office of Budget Responsibility forecasts , to being allowed multiple Isas and the seemingly mad plan of allowing family homes to be easily converted to flats , we take the measure of Jeremy Hunt 's plans . The Autumn Statement arrives next week and the rumour mill has gone into overdrive . The idea of it being a simple update on the economy seems to have been abandoned and instead there is talk of an Isa overhaul , tax changes , and even inheritance tax being cut from 40 per cent to 20 per cent . The This is Money podcast team look at what could be on the cards as Jeremy Hunt stands up and delivers his Autumn Statement . We all know pensions are important but most of us rarely engage with them . Yet , with a little bit of time and effort , you can get your work pension working as hard as possible for you - and at some point in the future you will be very glad you did so . We talk pensions , plus what happens if you get stuck in a mortgage with your ex , why is Lee so annoyed at a sneaky insurance tax that swiftly adds up and can M&S 's sales and share price resurgence continue ? Are we finally there ? When does a pause become a peak ? And if we have reached the top of the interest rate cycle , what happens next ? We look at the decision to hold rates again and what it means for savers , mortgage borrowers and investors . Plus , Crane on the Case vs TfL , high-flying investment trusts going cheap and finally , what have the Premium Bonds and a pop quiz on number one hits in 2000 and 2008 got to do with each other ? Wages are up , but inflation is ... the same . What does it all mean for mortgage rates , the state pension , benefits and the economy generally ? One thing we know wo n't be affected by the latest figure is income tax bands . Just how much is the big freeze - AKA fiscal drag - going to cost us ? Will there be a big house price fall , a pause before a general election next year , or will the property market rebound as mortgage rates come down ? The podcast team discuss what 's next for mortgages , house prices and the property market . Plus , why are investors buying low-yield gilts , how to save for retirement and the sneaky supermarket tricks we have had enough of . This week , Angharad Carrick , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Helen Crane tackle energy bills and look at who might be paying more in the next three months . And when it comes to water bills , some firms are looking at whacking 44% rises over the next seven years . Why ? It 's been called the most hated tax in Britain - but only four per cent of people pay it . You could be forgiven for thinking inheritance tax is something only the super-rich need to worry about . But thanks to rising house prices and an increasing desire to transfer wealth between generations , more and more people are being drawn into the net . So it might come as welcome news that Rishi Sunak is reported to be considering cutting the tax , or even scrapping it altogether , as a potential vote-winner ahead of the next election . What 's wrong with inheritance tax , how could it be made fairer - and could the Government really just get rid of it ? Simon Lambert , Helen Crane and Georgie Frost discuss . It 's expensive and paid for by current workers , but the triple lock has improved the state pension - and one day those workers should get that payout themselves . Yet , has it run its course and is it time for a better policy ? Plus , the Facebook Marketplace wild west , vanishing savings deals , and what to do if you have viewed 40 homes for sale but ca n't make up your mind . Every child could receive a pot of ? 1,000 at birth to be channelled into long-term investments in UK growth under proposals to revive a ' stagnant ' economy . This week , Lee Boyce , Simon Lambert and Georgie Frost discuss the merits of the idea - and why parents should start building a pot for children as early as possible . Plus , a trio of great savings deals , are interest rates peaking , how far will house prices fall and why are used electric car values dropping like a stone ? According to new research , if you want a comfortable retirement , you need to build a pot of nearly ? 600,000 . This week , Tanya Jefferies , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Helen Crane delve into pensions , as separate research shows more than half of people saving into one believe they will never put away enough to stop working when they get older . Many people may be feeling in a state of financial flux . Savings rates have improved , gold is holding steady , property prices are flat-lining and stocks are sticky . Where would you put your money for the next five years ? That 's the question the This is Money team put to the experts - and our readers - with a mixed response . The inflation spike took central banks , governments and many ordinary people by surprise but Britain 's cost of living problem has proved more stubborn that most . The latest set of official figures on consumer prices index inflation seem to show that the UK may be making some headway on getting it down . The podcast team dig into the inflation data and look at why economists decide that real wage growth was something to worry about . After months of mortgage mayhem some better news finally arrived this week with major lenders delivering a slew of hefty rate cuts . Cuts are the silver lining to a very dark cloud as mortgage rates are far higher than they have been . We look at what next , plus Premium Bonds , good customer service and carrier bags . This week , the team talk through customer service gripes with HMRC and what a retired judge learned while acting as executor for his beloved late aunt . Base rate is now 5.25% , so what does that mean for mortgages and savings - and why do people want plastic lawn banned ? Energy firms have had their feet held to the fire this week . The industry as a whole has been blasted by the regulator Ofgem over poor customer service , while our investigation revealed that 200 customers do n't think Ovo has been billing them properly . Lee Boyce , Helen Crane and Georgie Frost ask why things are going so wrong , and what people can do if they do n't think they are being billed correctly . Earlier in the week , the consumer prices index measure of inflation fell by more than expected thanks to a fall in transport and food prices . So what does that mean for the typical household and for potential future base rate rises ? Lee Boyce , Sam Barker and Georgie Frost delve into CPI and what that means for mortgages and savers . Banks have come into the firing line this week over current account closures and slowness to pass on base rate rises to savers . Nigel Farage claims his bank shut his current account over his Brexit views - the former politician has been vocal on Twitter about his treatment by Coutts , while the exclusive bank with a high net wealth clientele has fired back . So , can banks realistically do that to you ? Georgie Frost , Simon Lambert and Lee Boyce tell you all the reasons your bank can close your current - and what to do if it happen to you . There has been plenty of doom and gloom in recent months - and today , we go searching for cheerier news . The energy price cap will fall from the weekend , plunging to ? 2,074 - below the ? 2,500 set Energy Price Guarantee from the Government . So , what should you be doing to prepare - and what does that mean for your usage ? Will we soon see the return of fixed tariffs ? This week Georgie Frost , Helen Crane and Lee Boyce discuss the new price cap , along with a sneaky move from a major energy supplier to stop quarterly billing . The Bank of England 's bumper 0.5 per cent rate hike this week was the 13th rise in a row . The Bank is hiking rates to try to crush inflation but at the same time this affects a much smaller slice of homeowners than it once did and rapid rise in mortgage costs is crushing a generation of homeowners . So , was another rate rise a wise move ? How bad is the pain for borrowers ? Is this not a patch on the 80s , or just as bad ? Has the Bank of England even given its rate rises long enough to take effect ? The mortgage market is in chaos , with lenders pulling deals and rapidly hiking rates . At the same time savings rates are going gangbusters and there is barely a day that passes without a new best buy . The podcast team dive in and try to explain why the sudden inflation-driven chaos has kicked off and what borrowers and savers can do . Supporters say UBI has the power to improve the economy and society , but critics say it 's the start of a slippery slope to state dependency . So is universal basic income a good or bad idea ? Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert discuss it on this podcast episode . Plus , why are n't energy bills lower , what should you do if you are caught in the mortgage storm and which shares have done the best this year ? Forget 5 per cent savings rates . Forget 7 per cent . A new regular savings deal has landed paying a headline-grabbing 9 per cent . But , is it actually a good deal ? And cash Isas are back with a bang with a record amount poured into tax-free accounts in March and April . We had some good news this week about our energy bills - or did we ? Ofgem 's price cap is coming down - saving households around ? 400 a year on average . The last 18 months have been horrendous for households , so bad the Government had to step in in October and introduce a price freeze - but that was still double what the typical bill payer would have had to fork out a year previously . Are we finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel , and when will fixed tariffs be back ? Plus inflation , mortgage and savings rate rises , the US debt ceiling and ' campervanflation ' . Almost five times as many people will soon be paying 40 per cent tax than in the early 1990s , when it was seen as a tax bracket reserved for the rich , the Institute for Fiscal Studies warned this week . We discuss tax and who counts as wealthy . Plus how much have you lose to inflation , Nationwide 's new ? 100 bung would you buy food past its best before date ? And there it was , another interest rate hike . Another quarter point move up seems almost commonplace now but cast your mind back to the era after the financial crisis and we had to wait nearly ten years for the base rate to climb above its 0.5 per cent ' emergency level ' . We discuss the latest rate rise and how high interest rates will go . Plus , the return of 100% mortgages , and how to avoid your family 's inheritance turning into Succession . We dig into the myriad problems with UK housebuilding and what can be done to build better homes that people want to buy and have near them . Is the answer just bringing back targets or is it more complicated than that ? Plus , what to do if you can afford to buy but are worried about mortgages and house prices , will a new crackdown stop fraudsters and should you grab a 5% savings rate ? Poor old conservatories . Once they were all the rage and now we are being told they could knock ? 15,000 off the value of a house . Meanwhile , a home office in the garden is said to add lots of value , but who has ever longed for once of those in the same way they 've dreamed of a swimming pool on a hot day ? Yet , the pool is one of the main things that will apparently put off prospective buyers . We look at the things claimed to boost your property 's value and those detracting from it . Plus , cheap bank shares , the other Woodford fund and 5% savings rates . The average prize fund rate on Premium Bonds has reached the heady heights of 3.3 per cent - going head-to-head with top easy access savings deals . But what many savers may not realise is that their chance of winning a big Premium Bonds prize of ? 100,000 or ? 50,000 has got much better too . On this podcast , we talk Premium Bonds , food inflation , loyalty cards and member prices . As if buying a home was n't enough of a lottery , borrowers are now facing a major gamble on their mortgage . Whether buying or remortgaging , they need to work out how long to fix for and try to assess what might happen next to interest rates . We discuss that , house prices , UK shares and odd classics . The Government is delaying a decision on hiking up the state pension age to 68 until after the next election - perhaps influenced by protests across the channel . Pension commentators said move would be ' incredibly unpopular ' , and likely ' political suicide ' . Governments do n't like to upset retirees because they vote in high numbers - but maintaining the status quo is incredibly expensive . Has something ultimately got to give when it comes to the state pension age and maintaining the triple lock ? On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost is joined by Tanya Jefferies and Helen Crane to discuss . Just when you thought the cost of living crisis was meant to be on its way out another round of bill hikes are hitting.From council tax to mobile bills , seemingly every organisation wants another piece of your bank account - and some of the rises are even higher than inflation . Is there anything you can do about it ? Could a bit of switching , planning and another round of cutting back on energy usage , shave some money off ? A bung for the rich or a move that will help many more young professional savers aspire to a decent retirement ? The podcast team delve into the Budget and joining them to explain the pensions element is a special guest , This is Money 's retirement columnist and ex-pensions minister Steve Webb . Also in the Budget was news on the economy , a ray of hope on energy bills , and a big expansion of 30 hours free childcare . And finally , should you be worried by the Silicon Valley Bank collapse ? A banking crisis has seemingly emerged out of nowhere , in a system that we 've been told is stable , well capitalised and far from its parlous state when the credit crunch and financial crisis struck . So , what is going on and why did both the Federal Reserve in the US and the Bank of England see fit to raise interest rates this week ? Plus , why you should consider selling some investments , what to do with your savings and Pok ? mon card investing . You 'd like to imagine that when it came to the state pension , you 'd be dealing with a more robust system than the ones that deliver the average customer service nightmare . Savers could be forgive for questioning whether that was the case after a string of recent blunders . On this podcast , we discuss a double header of state pension news , plus the best cash Isas and why transfers matter , Dividend Hero investing and whether you could afford your home now . House prices have started to fall annually for the first time since the early months of the pandemic . Nationwide 's latest index shows the biggest fall since 2012 , with higher mortgage rates and the cost of living crisis continuing to squeeze the property market . We discuss why this is happening , and whether it is a bad thing . There 's not long left until the end of the tax year - and that means it is time to sort your Isa if you have n't already . On this Isa saving and investing special podcast , Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert talk all things Isas - from finding the best saving rates , to how to invest and how to boost your chance of investment success if you already have a stocks and shares Isa . We look at how likely those interest rate forecasts are to be correct and what this all means for the economy , mortgages , savings and first-time buyers . Plus how we exposed another round of state pension blunders , with Steve Webb joining the show , the best type of Isa for you and the tumble driers that slash costs . Officially , the rise to 68 is set to happen between 2044 and 2046 , but ministers allegedly want to bring forward the change to 2035 with the policy being floated for inclusion in the March Budget . The rumours are concerning for those aged between 43 and 54 , but how likely this is to actually happen - and what can pension savers do to prepare for it ? The podcast team also look at whether mortgage rates will go below 4% , why Premium Bonds are looking more attractive and why customers ca n't make up their minds about whether they love or hate John Lewis . An astonishing idea for an Isa tax raid has been outlined by the Resolution Foundation , with the proposal that tax-free savings and investments should be capped at ? 100,000 . No more aspiring to be an Isa millionaire , it would be ? 100k and out under this plan . The podcast team tackle that idea , plus a new top Avios deal , extra clothes to cut bills and we speak to Bank of Dave 's Dave Fishwick . We will all have a different image in our heads of what our retirement years might look like , but whatever that is it is important to think about another question : could you afford to do those things ? The podcast team delve into a report that looks at putting a price on different retirements , discuss inheritance tax and whether it is grabbing too much of some people 's homes and ask if cash can help with budgeting . The New Year arrived with promises of inflation falling and a ray of hope on energy bills . But even if Rishi Sunak halves inflation , as he claims he will , it would still be running at 5 per cent and his promise to get Britain back to growth may prove harder than the simple maths that sees the rate of rises in the cost of living slow . The team delve into the prospects for the year ahead , look at what 's on the cards for the property market , pensions and savers and if Premium Bonds are a must have . Tumultous is a word that does n't really do 2022 justice . Most people were looking forward to a year of calm as the Covid pandemic faded , but instead got turmoil and the cost of living crisis . Georgie Frost , Helen Crane and Simon Lambert take a look back at the big financial events of 2022 and look forward to 2023 on this special year end podcast . First we had the great resignation and now we may be seeing a new trend emerge ' unretirement ' . Why do people want to take early retirement , why may some now be returning to work - and what would tempt more back to boost productivity and the economy ? Plus , the stock market winners and losers of 2022 , can a log burner really save you money and what are the used cars that went up in value the most this year . With inflation looking as if it has peaked , the economy probably already in recession , households and businesses feeling the squeeze , have we nearly reached the end of the rate hikes ? We look at how close we are to the end of the rate cycle and what it all means for mortgages and savings . Plus , what people can do to keep themselves warm but save on energy and what might happen next to bills The risk of a severe house price downturn of that magnitude was flagged by Rightmove founder and property market veteran Harry Hill . On this week 's podcast we discuss the prospects for the housing market , how the rapid rise in mortgage rates is affecting it and what prospective home movers or first-time buyers should do . Plus , Lee Boyce is back to talk Wooden Spoon , we discuss small building societies with big rates and get a guest appearance from Hagerty classic car specialist John Mayhead to discuss its Bull List . Rising savings rates and fiscal drag pulling more people into the higher rate bracket mean that many more savers will now have to pay tax on interest - while Jeremy Hunt 's tax raid on investors will see the capital gains tax allowance slashed to ? 6,000 and then ? 3,000 . We explain what you need to know . Plus , Steve Webb makes a guest appearance to discuss a delayed state pension victory and the pension credit fiasco and finally , why are used car prices starting to fall ? Savings and mortgage rates rocketed but even as the Bank of England continues to raise rates have they already gone as high as they will ? The This is Money podcast team discuss that , plus where will mortgage rates settle and the implication for both house prices and first-time buyers , alongside the new energy price cap and why it has jumped and how good are a bunch of oddball devices designed to warm the person not the room . In a blizzard of hikes - through threshold drops and stealth tax freezes - Hunt worked his way through a painful Autumn Statement , where good news was thin on the ground . The silver linings came from the government sticking by the pension triple lock and uprating benefits by inflation but the focus was on painful years ahead . We look at what it means . So many kites have been flown about potential tax rises that even taxing selling your own home and bringing back the 50p rate were floated as potential Autumn Statement ideas troubling Jeremy Hunt and Rishi Sunak 's minds . The PM and Chancellor want you to think they are serious , but could this bout of tax hike speculation do lasting harm to the economy ? What can be done to improve things in the rental market and have we come down too hard on buy-to-let ? That 's the question asked on this week 's podcast , as Georgie Frost , Helen Crane and Simon Lambert debate the problems in the rental market . But before that , it 's time for Rishi Sunak . Will he be able to soothe jittery markets , navigate Britain through a painful cost of living crisis winter , and somehow please the nation while taking money off people instead of dishing it out ? With Jeremy Hunt 's stern reversal tax cuts and a firm commitment to not come up with any more cunning plans that might upset the markets , is Britain now on a firmer economic footing ? Or will our quest for yet another Prime Minister spell more trouble ahead ? Britain 's economic predicament , the triple lock , house prices and how much energy we use are on the podcast agenda . If you were asked to name a world-class place to surf , a field near Bristol is n't the first location that would come to mind . But this slice of the English countryside is home to The Wave , an artificial surfing lake that is one of just a handful in the world to use cutting edge technology and was the first of its kind . For this special bonus interview episode of the This is Money podcast , Simon Lambert visited The Wave to meet Nick , be shown around and hear the story of his more than decade-long journey to get waves breaking and people riding them . When gilts hit the headlines it 's a clear sign that trouble has not only been brewing but has been unleashed . Government bond yields only tend to break through into the mainstream when things are n't going well and they have been firmly in the spotlight since Kwasi Kwarteng 's ill-fated mini-budget . But what is a gilt , why does its yield matter , what 's that got to do with prices and why do we worry about such things ? In this podcast we look . Rocketing rates have sent the average two and five-year fixed rate mortgage through the 6 per cent barrier , so what happens next and how bad will things get ? Plus , as savings rates jump should you fix , some middle-class tax cutting plans that should prove more popular than axing the 45p rate and a mystery rock star 's valuable letters and tax question . This week , Georgie Frost , Simon Lambert and Lee Boyce tackle what has been a truly remarkable one in the world of personal finance with a message of : do n't panic . So , is the UK economy in crisis ... again ? How much is the Chancellor 's ' mini ' Budget to blame ? And what can the Government do now ? Britain 's new Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng delivered a blistering mini-Budget this week that was anything that small . A wave of tax cuts were unleashed . Some had been heavily trailed , such as NI and stamp duty , but there were also two rabbits out of the hat on income tax . The team discuss what the going for growth mini-Budget means for people , how much they may save in tax , and whether it will work or cause the UK economy even more problems down the line . The Bank of England is tipped to raise interest rates by at least 0.5 per cent this week , but the pound fell to a 37-year low last week . That comes against a backdrop of inflation edging down slightly to 9.9 per cent - taking Britain out of the double-digit inflation club - with a colossal rescue plan to save households and businesses from spiralling energy prices about to kick in . The This is Money podcast team look at the pound , energy bills , inflation and interest rates , how all these issues connect and what could happen next ? To celebrate his 300th column , Steve joins Tanya , Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert for a special podcast episode to answer readers ' questions . It 's a dive into what you need to know about pensions , ranging from saving for retirement , to investing in your pension years and , of course , the state pension and triple lock . Belts are already being tightened and as bills head even higher more people will look to save where they can.But are there some things that you should avoid doing or cutting back on at all costs ? Editor Simon Lambert came up with his five false economies to avoid as inflation bites , but was he right to pick them ? The team discuss them on this podcast episode . Inflation is soaring and if predictions are correct , it would result in the CPI measure hitting 13% this autumn . That could result in a state pension rise of around ? 1,000 a year to ? 10,900 while even at the current level of 10.1% it would be upped to ? 10,600 . Inflation is up again with CPI now measured at 10.1% , the highest since February 1982 , when Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister . Lee Boyce , Helen Crane and Georgie Frost discuss the higher than forecast inflation rate and what is driving it . This week , Georgie Frost and Lee Boyce are joined by a special guest : James Blower , AKA The Savings Guru , who gives his take on where savings rates are heading next . With the lesser known challengers paying the best rates , how do you know they 're any good ? And should you fix now or wait ? The idea of the Bank of England raising base rate by 0.5 percentage points at the same time as warning about a long and painful recession would have been unthinkable a year ago . But things have dramatically changed and central banks are desperately trying to get a grip on runway inflation that just seems to keeo getting worse . The podcast team discuss the rate rise and potential recession and what it means for borrowers , savers , the economy and our financial near future . This summer has seen travel demand rebound and for many , it could be their first overseas jaunt since before the pandemic . For that reason , there may be some rusty holidaymakers out there . But fear not , Lee Boyce , Helen Crane and Georgie Frost are at hand to help get you in the holiday mood ( kind of ) . Financial independence and retiring early sounds great , but could you sacrifice enough of your spending to get there ? The FIRE movement involves living a frugal live , saving as much of your income as possible - 50 per cent or more - and investing to build a pot to retire early on . Could you do this and would the This is Money podcast 's Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert be able to stomach the hardcore budgeting and saving it requires ? This is Money 's Simon Lambert recently came up with his ten money rules , ranging from learning to budget and saving a rainy day pot , to being generous when you can afford it and not being afraid to take risks . He runs us through his thoughts behind those financial lessons and Georgie Frost and Lee Boyce chip in with their ideas for some money rules to live your life by . The economy is struggling , an inflation crisis is in full swing and the Bank of England is raising rates into a recession , yet at the end of a tumultuous week we are not just down one Prime Minister but a Chancellor too - and are n't quite sure if the new man in the job will be sticking around very long . We look at what the change in Prime Minister could mean for the UK 's economy , businesses and households - and what a new Chancellor might do and the challenges they will face . Many motorists will have received a dreaded charge in the post and in some cases , unjustifiably so . If that 's you , it 's time to fight back . Elsewhere , we talk about Halifax 's mortgage move , whether it can pay to fix energy bill , highlight the five FTSE 100 firms with the biggest share price falls this year and how small business owners tackle telling their customers that price rises are afoot . Is n't it a bit of an odd time to finally get rid of this , just as interest rates are finally rising and the base rate has jumped from 0.1 per cent to 1.25 per cent in six months ? We discuss why the Bank of England is doing this and whether it is the right move , or could lead to risky lending and even higher house prices ? Plus , inflation-fighting savings , current accounts to switch to , why investors are n't buying the dips , and can your neighbour build on your wall ? The base rate has gone from 0.1 per cent to 1.25 per cent in the space of six months , in a flurry of rate rises that would have been considered unthinkable a year ago . With inflation running at 9 per cent and expected to head north into double digits soon , the onus is on the Bank of England to show it has a grip and we are n't heading back to the 1970s . But is rapidly raising rates the right thing to do and how will it affect savers , borrowers and investors ? More state pension mistakes from the DWP and a warning we are n't saving enough in pensions is on the agenda of this podcast . The team discuss what you can do to make sure you are putting enough into your pension and why the self-employed need to pay particular attention . Plus , is it time to look again at Scottish Mortgage , big theme investing ideas and should we cut VAT on petrol ? Britain descended into holiday chaos this week , as airlines cancelled hundreds of flights , airports struggled to cope and even Eurostar ended up with a day of disruption . The team discuss where the blame lies for the disruption , what people 's rights are if their flights are cancelled and what we can all do to protect ourselves . Sudden Wealth Syndrome . It 's a thing apparently and something that many of us probably would n't mind suffering from . That 's the term used to describe those who suddenly - and perhaps unexpectedly - come into a very large sum of money . And doing so brings plenty of benefits but also its own problems . We have heard about the couple who won ? 184m on the Euromillions , but what are the challenges they face and how do you deal with that sum of money ? Inflation continues to surge , the Bank of England says there is little it can do to stall it but is raising rates any way , and at the same time is warning of a potential recession looming . It seems safe to say this is n't the Covid recovery year that many people were hoping for : the longed-for bout of calm and optimism has turned out to be a cost of living crisis instead . So , with inflation now at 9 per cent and set to rise further and central banks swiftly changing their tune on low interest rates , is a recession inevitable ? Rising interest rates and the cost of living crunch are putting a serious squeeze on how much buyers can borrow . Meanwhile , stories are emerging of lenders getting cold feet on some of the offers that ambitious buyers have had accepted and down-valuing properties . On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert discuss whether house prices can defy gravity once more . More than 40 years after Margaret Thatcher introduced Right to Buy , the current Prime Minister is considering plans to revamp the scheme . Could it unleash a home buying revolution and help give a much needed boost to the Government , or is it a bad idea rehashing an old scheme ? Is there any point trying to save when inflation is so high ? From what the best rates are and where you can get them , to why you should avoid your bank or building society 's ' insult account ' and how to turn a savings habit into an investing one that should hopefully get you a better return , we talk all things saving . What can be done to help customers struggling with soaring bills ? Will Rishi Sunak have to step in with more meaningful help than his ? 200 off now , pay it back later deal ? Should wealthier customers subsidise the bills of the poorer ? And how do we make energy firms get their act together ? We tackle the energy crunch , plus how to save enough for retirement , the Great British Rail Sale wind-up , and Netflix gets a chill . For many homeowners it 's been the case for some years that each time they remortgage , their rate comes down . But with the Bank of England liftng base rate three times in a matter of months , inflation soaring to 7 per cent , and banks and building societies hiking mortgage rates , that is no longer the case . On this podcast we look at what borrowers can do , if rates will keep rising and how inflation fits in . Plus , social broadband , a buy-to-let rebound and fiding a good insurer . This week marks the start of a new tax year and with it a National Insurance rise , a meagre state pension hike and the start of new ' no fault ' divorce system . Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Helen Crane run through what these changes potentially mean for you and why they 're important . It 's the time of year when we are urged to put our money into an Isa or pension , but faced with the choice which should you pick ? On this podcast , Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert look at the perks of each , where the drawbacks are and how you can make an informed decision . What are the essential things you need to know about a stocks and shares Isa and investing in general , whether you are just getting started or an existing investor looking to spruce up their portfolio ? On this special Isa investing podcast , Rob Morgan , chief analyst at Charles Stanley , joins This is Money editor Simon Lambert to discuss how to be a smarter investor . We look at the Spring Statement and whether tax fiddling , a 5p petrol duty cut and some money off solar panels really cut the mustard in the face of a cost of living crisis . Also what 's going on with building costs and how to try to get the best quote from a builder , stick to a budget and protect against price rises and whether to go for an asking price , guide price , or dedmand offers over . Is the BoE right to try to crack down on inflation now , or is it putting the Covid recovery at risk ? And what does this mean for savers , borrowers and investors ? We discuss the rate hike - if you can call a quarter point rise a hike - and how much more of this may be coming down the line . Plus , what are the best shares and funds to stash in your Isa in volatile times , do you have to pay tax on a ? 20,000 bitcoin profit , and would you swap your device trash for cash at Currys ? What would that ? 1million get you though , how much would you need to invest and for how long to get there - and is it enough f or financial independence ? Georgie Frost , Helen Crane and Simon Lambert discuss building your way to a ? 1million Isa and how achievable that might be . Also , mortgage rates and what to do if you need to fix , petrol prices and should you take an energy fixed rate deal ? Russia 's invasion of Ukraine has created a tragic situation that goes far beyond worries about our finances but it will have an impact on them . On this podcast , Georgie Frost , Tanya Jefferies and Simon Lambert look at what that could be . From how the Russian-Ukraine conflict will affect out personal finances : from energy bills , to petrol prices and food , to the immediate volatility it has thrust on to people 's investments , the team look at what is happening and what may happen next . A free ' midlife MOT ' course has been launched aimed at people who want to do a stocktake of their current finances , career and health . This is an idea championed by the finance industry and government . But is it any good ? Investments and pensions editor Tanya Jefferies undertook the course by finance giant Legal & General and the Open University and tells Georgie Frost and Lee Boyce of her experience . Where do you stand on smart meters ? This seemingly common sense technological advance in how we are billed for energy has proved hugely divisive . Now things have stepped up a gear , as an Ofgem change will lead to smart meters being able to send half hour updates to energy providers - opening the door for electricity pricing to change at different times of day . Is this a good idea to help the transition to green energy or a problem in the making ? Plus , how inflation could affect your spending , income and wealth and how to combat that , the weird world of rising used car prices and Bank of Dave the movie . Thursday marked a big day for the pound in our pocket . First of all , it was announced the energy price cap was to rise 54% . Hot on the heels of that bombshell we had another rate rise from the Bank of England - piling pressure on borrowers . Variable price cap-linked energy bills are expected to rise 50% and those with fixes ending face bigger rises , so are there any options to stem the bills shock ? Plus , with editor Simon Lambert one of those people whose fix is imminently ending , what are the options that his energy supplier Octopus has presented him with , and which one is he going to take ? Also on this week 's podcast , the stock market wobble , UK shares and Nationwide finally raising savings rates . Steven Bartlett is the latest star of Dragons ' Den - and we recently caught up with him for a special bonus This is Money podcast episode . In this frank interview with This is Money 's Simon Lambert , Steven tells us his story , the challenges he 's faced in his business life , how he got ahead and his tips for anyone else wanting to start a business . Turning 40 is a milestone birthday - and perhaps the one that gets people thinking most about where they are at in life . But what do you need to think about in terms of your finances , from pensions , to property , investing and saving ? This special birthday podcast looks at people 's financial life around 40 - and includes plenty of tips relevant to those who are much younger or older . Plus we look back at what economic life was like 40 years ago . Banks and building societies have been busy upping mortgage rates , with Nationwide revealing a raft of rises , but savers are still waiting . Nationwide is n't alone , almost all its big building society and banking rivals have also been failing savers for years - and although they blame the low interest rate environment that does n't stop them making bumper profits and paying out blockbuster wages to top executives . So , are they diddling savers or do they have any defence ? It 's safe to say 2021 has been an eventful one for the economy and personal finance - and our podcast has covered it all . Georgie Frost takes a look back at some of the best bits of the show starring Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce , Tanya Jefferies and Helen Crane . Plus , as a special New Year 's bonus , this week 's podcast features an interview with entrepreneur , Diary of a CEO podcaster and new Dragon in the den , Steven Bartlett . Christmas has n't been cancelled but that does n't mean that things have n't been left , right and centre , as the hospitality and entertainment industry once more bears the brunt of Covid . So , what can be done to help pubs , restaurants , cafes , music venues , theatres etc ? And what happens in terms of getting your money back if your event is cancelled or you have to skip it yourself ? Plus , would you invest in fine wine ... or even music ? The team look at how to do both . And finally , is a Christmas update on the PLSA retirement living standards research a cracker or a dud ? They finally did it ! The Bank of England 's Monetary Policy Committee raised the base rate from its emergency 0.1% level to 0.25% . Markets were cheered by the rate rise and economists were broadly welcoming too , yet the general consensus is that it will make little difference to the inflation Britain is suffering . So , why raise interest rates and was this the right move as the nation stares down the barrel of yet more Covid disruption ? We 've all felt it , that moment when you look at your bank balance and think ' I 've spent how much ? ' But what if you looked at an entire lifetime 's worth of spending ? What would the damage be and how painful would that number feel ? According to a recent piece of research by Atom Bank , the cost of living an entire near 81-year lifetime in 2021 would be a whopping ? 1,543,834 . On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert discuss that and why a snapshot like this - vaguely precise as it may be - can help us understand how inflation works and how it can drive up prices . Is it better to leave the heating on low all the time , or switch it on in smaller bursts ? Is the electric blanket cheaper than a kettle-filled hot water bottle ? Does an electric heater cost less to heat a room ? We tackle the common energy questions people regularly ask . Plus reward points , crypto investing and the mystery of the missing doorbell . Chancellor Rishi Sunak revealed a raft of measure which had already been announced - and highlighted the threat of global inflation . Georgie Frost , Simon Lambert and Lee Boyce run the rule on the latest Budget and updated figures on inflation and base rate predictions , alongside where the economy is at ... and potentially heading . Going green used to be presented as a way to save money , but the stark reality that dealing with climate change will mean spending more is dawning . On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert , discuss green bonds and better alternatives and greener homes , their costs and whether there is also better options that we are being presented with right now . Plus , the triple lock , bitcoin at a record high and who gets a present from a skip ? A new report this week highlighted just how unlikely people are to win big prizes . In fact , unless you have a sizeable amount in bonds , you should expect a long wait for anything over ? 25 . But does it matter that you 'd have to wait ages to win ? 50 or more - or are those uninspiring regular ? 25 prizes a much more useful source of returns ? We dig into Premium Bonds , looking at the odds , the study on big prizes , what our readers have told us , and also how many people hold . With inflation on the rise , homeowners nearing the end of their mortgage deals could be tempted to lock in for longer - especially with murmurs of a base rate rise . It comes as rates continue to fall , even on tracker deals . What are the pros and cons on a two , five and even a 10 year fix , and does the flexibility of a tracker mean it could be a worthy option to consider ? Savings rates are on the rise but even if you do find a best buy , do n't get complacent because there 's inflation is running at steam . The problem is that while traditional monetary policy theory dictates that should lead to interest rates rising , we have n't operated under normal conditions since the financial crisis . We look at how long it might be before we get back to a normal situation of savings accounts consistently beating inflation . Plus why investing attack may be the best form of defence and could you live off grid ? The week began with an energy crunch , as households woke up to the problems sending gas prices spiralling - and the impact that could have on their bills . It ended with a needless rush on petrol , as people were told there was no need to panic buy fuel ... and some promptly panic bought it . On this episode we look at what 's driving the problems with our bills and get an update on the state pension fiasco . The cost of living jumped by the largest amount on record to hit 3.2% in August - is it set to run out of control and prompt the Bank of England to raise interest rates ? Meanwhile , a gloomy report has lead to some economists to talk about stagflation once more . What is it , is it a threat and does it matter ? If you 're going to break one manifesto promise , then why not break two ? Why not distract from telling pensioners they ca n't have their potential 8.8 per cent triple lock state pension rise by hiking taxes for everyone . Is the tax rise fair , will it fix social care , should the triple lock have been broken and what should you do if an investment plummets , on this week 's podcast . Among its many surprises , the coronavirus pandemic has delivered a property boom . In pretty much the exact opposite scenario to that almost all experts predicted , the property market has hit fever pitch over the past year and a bit , with more people moving and house prices soaring . We take a look at the property tribes and how they are driving the market - from those who love to move , to those chasing a quick buck , and those whose sole desire is to find the perfect place to stay put . When it comes to state pensions , there has been plenty of talk in recent weeks about the triple lock and what could mean next month when it comes to an uplift . However , more than 2m receive less than ? 100 a week in state pension payments - is there a way to boost your pension ? As Britain 's streets are filled with drivers whizzing deliveries around , there 's a new top scam in town . Parcel and package delivery scams are the most common type of ' smishing ' text messages , a report said this week . The podcast looks at the rise of parcel scams , the new car shortage driving used car prices up , crunch time for the triple lock and whether the bank account battle is back . The lowest two-year fixed rate has been cut to 0.83 per cent and five-year fixed rates are available at 0.99 per cent . While these super low rates are only reserved for those with the biggest deposits , it 's clear that the mortgage price war is back on . We look at what 's driving mortgage rates down and how low home loans might go . Plus , house price snooping , fractional share dealing and emotional investing . From October , millions of households can expect to pay even more on their energy bills . Ofgem is raising the energy price cap for the second time in a year , due to rising wholesale costs . Lee Boyce , Grace Gausden and Georgie Frost take a look at the price cap , what it means and how to potentially beat it . Ministers want us to ditch gas boilers and line our houses with insulation to save the planet , but do the sums add up for cash-strapped homeowners ? Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost take a look at the Government 's aims , if green measures in your home can pay for themselves in the long-run and what it could take to pull Energy Performance Certificate ratings for homes higher . The Government is planning a major crack down on fake reviews . Under the proposals , it will become illegal to pay someone to write , or host , bogus online ratings . How much weight should we put behind buying decisions when it comes to reviews and ratings , and what exactly are the plans to prevent this kind of consumer manipulation ? In a sign of the inflationary times , the cost of renting a car has rocketed to about three times the price of last year and it 's being blamed on the semiconductor shortage . How can a lack of computer chips drive up costs so substantially at the car hire desk ? And what on earth has this got to do with the price of a bag of crisps ? On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Grace Gausden and Simon Lambert look at holidays and inflation and the points where supply and demand are intersecting to create very odd scenarios . The triple lock has always been a hot potato but things have stepped up another gear as it could deliver a bumper 8% state pension increase due to a statistical quirk . Is it fair for pensioners to get a bumper increase based on a distortion caused by the pay pain suffered by workers in lockdown ? Some say ' no ' , others say ' stick to the deal ' . Also this week , the painful cases of those who can not afford funerals for loved ones , the return of gazumping to the property market , and finally , the crazy NatWest banking rule that has forced a reader to have their employer 's bank accounts mixed with theirs in online banking . Yet more people caught up in the underpaid state pension have been unearthed - and tragically , in the two cases we highlight this week , they were n't alive to see justice . This week Lee Boyce , Tanya Jefferies , Steve Webb and Georgie Frost talk all things pensions . House prices have bounced 10 per cent over the past year meaning that the ? 15,000 maximum saving of a year ago on a ? 500,000 home would now come on a property that potentially costs ? 50,000 more . But the false economy of buying as prices soar to save on tax would be double so for any buyer who then missed the deadline and ended up with an extra ? 12,500 bill . Sneaker investing - those in the know do n't call them trainers , apparently - has become a big thing in recent years and as values have risen , so has the volume of fakes . Can anything be done , does it matter and what 's the attraction if investing in sneakers anyway ? The This is Money podcast looks at flash trainers , a space trust , stamp duty and cheap cars . As banks and building societies hint at better rates for those sticking by them and insurers are forced to stop stinging customers , we look at loyalty rewards and penalties . Also on the agenda is Britcoin , the Bank of England 's mooted cryptocurrency . What is the point of a central bank digital currency , what 's a stablecoin , and would the crypto investing crew be interested ? Plus , on the housing market front , the team look at a new idea for the Bank of Mum and Dad and Lee gets into beach huts ... are they a cheap property goldmine ? Yet another house price index has recorded record growth , as Nationwide says the average UK home is now worth ? 243,000 . Most experts say this is down to people 's changing lifestyles during the pandemic and the incentive provided by the Government 's stamp duty holiday . But are there other forces at play ? Fred Harrison , a British author and economic commentator , successfully predicted the previous two property crashes years before they occurred - and his 18-year property cycle theory says that house prices should continue to boom before crashing in 2026 . We explore how accurate this prediction might be , and also look at the other factors shaping the housing market , including tantalisingly cheap mortgages with two-year fixed rates as low as 0.99 per cent The team dig into the statistics , deliver a theory on how much you might need to hold to bag at least one prize a year , and look at whether Premium Bonds are worth having . Also , on the show , crypto corner , paying bills with commemorative coins - and what legal tender really means , why self-storage is the latest thing in short supply and who is investing 's Czech Sphinx ? Inflation is bad news for the pound in your pocket and for savers , but was n't the whole point of all that money printing and rate cutting to get a stronger recovery beat deflation ? On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , George Nixon and Simon Lambert look at why inflation has become a hot topic , how it will affect savers and investors , and what it might mean for moonshot investing and bitcoin . Will there be a surge of bookings , a last minute wait and see game , or a race to grab the few remaining staycation places during the summer holidays ? On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Simon Lambert and Grace Gausden look at the state of play for the travel industry and holidaymakers - and how to protect your hard-earned cash if you do book . This week saw the launch of new book - Never Go Broke : How To Make Money Out Of Just About Anything , co-written by This is Money personal finance editor Lee Boyce . In a podcast special , host Georgie Frost and editor Simon Lambert talk to him about the premise and are joined from Los Angeles by Storage Hunters TV star Jesse McClure , co-author of the book . The expectation is that as lockdown eases and people are released into the hoped for freedom that vaccines bring , they will go on a spending spree . But will that definitely happen and will the economic rebound be strong enough to create a virtuous circle that delivers the much-talked about Roaring Twenties ? Or will people be more cautious and adopt their newfound savings habit more permanently ? Once more into the property breach has stepped the Government , to get banks and building societies to offer more 5% deposit mortgages . But is this a wise move ? Should we stop meddling in the mortgage and property market , as short-term assistance ends up meaning long-term pain as more credit is extended and house prices climb ever higher ? Was the blockbuster Coinbase stock market listing a coming of age for bitcoin and cryptocurrency or a top of the bubble moment ? We look at the Coinbase float and what it means for the crypto and investing world , plus lower risk stable investments instead of rubbish cash Isa rates and the Spac craze . Tanya Jefferies also updates on the womens ' underpaid state pensions scandal and the team look at controversial Barclaycard 's credit limit cuts . What is the future of the office ? Will we ever go back full-time , or is a hybrid model more likely - and if you 're tempted by a shed office , what should you look out for ? On this week 's podcast , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost discuss the future of work and the pros and cons of WFH life , including the ' shoffice . ' Financial scams are on the rise . The coronavirus lockdowns have seen a fresh burst of investment cons with fraudsters impersonating legitimate companies to steal tens of thousands of pounds . We discuss the rising tide of fraud , how to stay safe and what more can be done to combat it . Plus , mortgage prisoners , the Deliveroo float and VW 's mini campervan . The headlines are telling you the property market is running hot , that the stamp duty holiday extension is stoking the fires , and buyers are ignoring the economic slump to pile in . There 's just one problem : your home is on the market and you are n't even getting any offers . Perhaps you are in a property coldspot . We look at how to take the temperature of your local property market , the best Isa investments of all time , green investing and whether cutting electric car grants was wise . What 's the point in an Isa ? This is a regular grumble as savings rates are now so low that earning 1 per cent would be a big deal . But would n't you rather have all of a small amount instead of a small amount minus tax ? And if you are investing , an Isa makes a lot of sense - embracing your gains and dividends in a nice tax-free wrapper . On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert talk Isas : from the classics , cash and stocks and shares , to the upstarts the lifetime and junior strands . It seems that despite a tough lockdown being imposed and schools being closed , the UK has adapted to restrictions better than thought when it comes to doing business.We discuss the prospects for recovery and also the businesses that have pivoted and started-up over the lockdown year . Meanwhile , a growth stock wobble in the US has sent Scottish Mortgage sliding , but a rapid bounce back erased some of those losses . Should investors be worried or is it a buying opportunity ? The Budget this week was notable for two things : Firstly , The Chancellor decided to delay settling the coronavirus bill to another day and , secondly , the true scale of the women 's underpaid state pension scandal was laid bare at ? 3billion . So , will Rishi 's Sunak 's third Budget in a year be what Britain 's economy needs to achieve escape velocity as lockdown eases ( and hopefully never comes back ) ? Rumours are swirling ahead of the Budget that Rishi Sunak will extend the stamp duty holiday by three months ? The idea is that this would help stop the collapse of chain after chain as buyers pull out , renegotiate or have to find more money if they miss the deadline . But would n't a three-month delay just kick the can down the road by another 12 weeks and lead to another cohort of buyers potentially affected ? Would it be better to just make the stamp duty holiday a permanent vacation from a bad tax ? Since the stamp duty holiday came in last summer , there has been a property market mini-boom despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic . Is it losing puff yet and if not , when is it going to run out of steam and will we see the tax holiday extended ? Why did n't GDP fall in the final stretch of last year , is there any way we could we claw our way to growth , and how bad was the coronavirus year of 2020 for the UK ? Also on the show , are we finally going to see an end to the scam refund lottery from banks for those conned into sending money to fraudsters ? Why has Tesla bought bitcoin , what does it mean and what on earth is Elon Musk playing at with his crypto tweets at the moment ? Investing mistakes can be among those that are tough to swallow and own up to . Often the easiest thing is to brush them under the carpet and try not to think about it too much . But looking at where we slipped up and learning from it is an important part of long-term investing . We discuss what can go wrong and invite you to share your blunders . The GameStop shares saga is remarkable , but should it have been allowed to get this far ? Should the trading platforms have tried to nip this in the bud , should watchdogs protect small traders involved and other investors , or in a free market should we just let people get on with stuff ? We discuss that and whether it is really a rallying point for a financially disenfranchised generation , or a get-rich-quick bandwagon being jumped ? In case you had n't noticed , bitcoin went on bit of a tear recently . And as the price of the leading cryptocurrency soared again , so did the number of stories written about it . But the vast majority of those column inches focus on two things : bitcoin 's price and should you invest ? A question that 's not so much asked is what should you do if you 've reaped handsome profits on bitcoin or another cryptocurrency ? More than five years since pension freedom arrived a solution to take the pain out of investing in retirement is being lined up . Keeping a pension invested and drawing on it as you choose in retirement has proved a very popular option . It is also a very tricky one to navigate - but now some simple help is at hand , so will it crack the conundrum of pension freedom without the pain ? This , Santander 123 cuts and big ticket inflation on the podcast . It 's probably been the gloomiest start to a year for as long as many can remember . So what happened ? The UK stock market jumped , of course . Contrary as this may seem , there is some logic to investors buying into the hope that better times lie ahead . On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert look at what the fresh lockdown means for the economy and why investors are choosing to look straight through it and develop a new appetite for buying British . Making predictions can be a mug 's game and never has that proved more true than for any made at the start of 2020 . It 's been an astonishing year , when the lives and freedoms we took for granted were dramatically disrupted - and one where ordering people to stay at home triggered the biggest economic crash in the UK since the Great Frost of 1709 . On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert look back over 2020 and by popular podcast listener demand combine it with the return of a socially-distanced Zoom Christmas taste test . Is buy now , pay later the demon it 's made out to be ? Klarna , Laybuy and the rest of the delayed spending crew are coming in for lots of scrutiny at the moment . Shoppers love them and shops pay them , but there are concerns on over-spending and the cost of not meeting payments . On this week 's podcast , we discuss the rise of the buy now , pay later firms , how they work , how they make their money on interest-free credit , and why there are worries over what on the surface looks like a great deal . This week , a new in-depth report from the Wealth Tax Commission recommended a one-off ' wealth tax ' on the richest households rather than hiking taxes for the masses . How would it work , could it be a good idea and how unpopular would it prove ? Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost take a look . ' Be greedy when others are fearful . ' Warren Buffett 's investment adage was tested this year and those who followed it would be quids in . So , has the opportunity to go bargain hunting passed ? Could our own humble stock market be one of the last places left where you can do it ? Are we missing a trick and ignoring the fact the world has changed and there is no point talking about cheap value investments , just get on the tech train ? The car itself is n't going anywhere - just the way it is propelled - so how much difference will the 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel cars make ? Is the rise of the electric car inevitable anyway and even with Brexit is it more important what Germany , France and the rest of Europe choose to do , than what the UK decides ? On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert talk electric cars : from what the shift to them means , to what they are like to drive , charge and live with . There have been some clear winners and losers in the rebound from the stock market crash as coronavirus and lockdown hit . There have been some clear winners and losers in the rebound from the stock market crash as coronavirus and lockdown hit . So why did they rise so strongly , is this the much-heralded switch from growth to value investing and what does that even mean ? Murmurs from HSBC HQ this week warned that an overhaul of its business model could leave customers paying a monthly fee for their current accounts . This week , Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost ask whether this is really a possibility , if banking actually is free anyway and what happens next . When lockdown arrived in March it sunk the UK economy . The message was clear : Stay home . And people did just that ; there was a dramatic shift to either working from home or shutting down businesses entirely . Now a second lockdown has arrived for England and the message is once again stay home , but things are very different this time : considerably more remains open . So , what happens now to the economy ? Lockdowns across Britain 's major cities , the tier system and more businesses being forced to close their doors or operate far below usual business levels means the direction of travel has shifted dramatically from the summer 's optimistic reopening of the economy . It 's likely that the UK will emerge from recession with growth over this quarter , but is it on track to head straight back into another slump ? While the world worries about coronavirus , there is another decade-defining event going on - the US election . t 's not normal circumstances though . The second wave of coronavirus and renewed lockdowns have the world 's attention and the election , if not a sideshow , is definitely not as centre stage as we would usually expect . So , does that mean it does n't matter for investors , or should be thinking about it and positioning themselves for the outcome ? The cornerstone of the Prime Minister 's Conservative Party speech this week was turning Generation Rent into Generation Buy with state-backed 95 per cent mortgages . The idea is that this will help first-time buyers frozen out by the need for big deposits - and combining it with long-term fixed rates will reduce risk ? Lockdown Britain has produced a nation of savers , ONS figures showed this week , with people salting away almost 30 per cent of their disposable income on average . But for those hoping that we might finally have got the savings habit , there 's a catch . Those figures cover April to June , a three-month period when most shops were shut , along with pubs , restaurants , hotels and B&Bs , and going on holiday was a near-impossible task . Deprived of the opportunity to spend , Britain put money aside instead - but is not spending the same as saving ? Despite some well-desrved scepticism , talk of a property market more buoyant than it 's been in years , of viewings and offers flooding in and family homes in hot demand , does n't seem to just be the usual estate agent guff . The stamp duty holiday and lockdown itchy feet have combined to make parts of the market a sellers ' one , so as a buyer what can you do to get a decent offer accepted and avoid overpaying ? As if 2020 was n't already proving to be a painful enough year , fraud has soared in lockdown . Cases are up 43 per cent in lockdown , according to Action Fraud figures , and the amount lost is up a staggering 286 per cent - meaning a victim loses ? 8,000 of their savings in average every minute . So could you fall victim to lockdown fraud ? The coronavirus crisis is still here , waves of job losses keep on coming and almost everyone is agreed there is more bad news to come.Yet , shares in the US and house prices in the UK are on the up . Is there anything behind this other than cheap central bank money and the belief that it will keep flowing and propping up asset prices ? On this week 's podcast Simon Lambert and Georgie Frost look at the parallels and differences between the British and American national obsessions of the property market and stock market . A large chunk of workers are unaware that their pension savings are invested in the stock market . Why does that matter ? Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost take a look . Meanwhile , there is a reported rift at the top of government over the state pension triple lock - what could happen to it ? Since the start of lockdown in March , more Britons have ordered supermarket shopping online to be delivered to their door to dodge the crowds and beat the queuing mayhem . This could be perfect time for Marks & Spencer , who will start its long-awaited tie-up with Ocado at the start of September , as the latter ends its 20 year long relationship with Waitrose . We are in the worst recession in living memory for the UK with GDP plummeting by 22.1 per cent in the first six months of 2020 . But strange as it may sound , does that matter ? We knew things would be terrible as the coronavirus lockdown pressed the pause button on the economy and people 's lives . The question is , what next ? Most personal investors are just ordinary people trying to grow their wealth over the long term - and like the population at large many of them care about the world around them . But while it has never been easier to be a DIY investor , how often do people really think about where their money is going and what it is doing ? On this second This is Money investing special podcast , Simon Lambert is joined again by Rob Morgan , Charles Stanley Direct 's pensions and investment analyst , to explore the world of socially responsible investing . The Bank of England upgraded its view on the economy for this year , saying GDP will only fall by a worst-in-a-century 9.5 per cent rather than a worst in 300-odd years 14.4 per cent . It also hinted that negative rates could do more harm than good , so does that mean they are off the table for the UK ? We discuss negative rates : what 's the point , do they have any positives and beyond costing savers ' interest how would they prove harmful ? After a great deal of fuss about air bridges and people being able to go on summer holiday , things suddenly changed last weekend . A swift about turn saw a 14 day quarantine period imposed for those arriving in the UK from Spain at just six hours ' notice . So is this the end of summer holidays for 2020 ? We talk holidays , travel insurance , refunds , and whether even a staycation is safe . Over the long-term investing in the stock market has proven to be the best way to beat inflation and grow your wealth . But how do you know when the time is right to start ? What are the things to consider when working out what investments might suit you ? And do you need to wait until you are wealthy before you become an investor ? The Chancellor has ordered an urgent capital gains tax review which could hit many homeowners and investors , depending on the outcome . On this week 's podcast , Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce , and Georgie Frost look at what changes could be coming for CGT and why . The showstopper was a big stamp duty cut , the important element was about keeping jobs afloat , and the rabbit out of the hat was a great British meal deal . But the question is , was Rishi Sunak splashing the cash in the summer statement enough to get the nation 's confidence back in the wake of the coronavirus crisis , or will real recovery require more down the line ? The Chancellor 's coronavirus rescue plan for the British economy has been bold and big , but one important part of the workforce feels somewhat hard done by . A chunk of the self-employed have been excluded from Rishi Sunak 's support in a way that employees have not . Anyone who is self-employed and has made more than ? 50,000 in recent years gets no help whatsoever . Is this fair ? In an unpredicted turn of events , the coronavirus lockdown has been good for some when it comes to their bank balances , but others have not been so lucky . For many , lockdown has resulted in surplus cash to tuck away thanks to spending less on everyday life - but for others , the pandemic may have resulted in a loss in income . We dive into the figures to see what 's going on and whether savings rates will continue to plummet . The number of mortgages available for those with a 10% deposit has plummeted by 90% compared since the start of March - should we be concerned and is this triggering a mortgage credit crunch ? Editor Simon Lambert , assistant editor Lee Boyce and host Georgie Frost take a look . There has been a record rise in new investors in Britain during lockdown data suggests , with novices driving the change.What do you need to get started ? This is Money editor Simon Lambert reveals to host Georgie Frost what first timers need to know on building a diverse investment portfolio . before coronavirus we were all told public transport was a good thing , now with restrictions easing and Britain slowly going back to work , people have been told to actively avoid it . Does that mean the inevitable return of the car , or with the Government promising billions to create a new era for cycling and walking , is there a brighter and greener future for mobility ? Could one of the keys be electric bicycles and scooters ? We discuss that and more on this week 's podcast . It 's nearly June , the sun is shining , and right about now people would usually be eagerly anticipating summer breaks they 've booked , or planning where to go away . On this podcast , we talk holidays : where to go , when you might be allowed to , and the all-important financial side involving booking , cancellations and refunds . And finally , what about opting for van life instead ? This week , a government bond auction saw UK gilts sold at a negative rate for the first time , while Bank of England boss Andrew Bailey refused to rule out the base rate flipping below zero . Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost look at the weird world of negative rates - an upside down where investors effectively pay to lend the government money , banks are charged interest for depositing funds with the Bank of England , and you 'd end up being stung rather than rewarded for saving . A This is Money investigation has revealed a string of women who have been underpaid their state pension , but are they just the tip of an iceberg ? On this week 's podcast , our pensions agony uncle Steve Webb and Tanya Jefferies discuss their probe into the matter . Plus we discuss the reopening of the property market and whether house prices will fall and the furlough scheme extension . In all but name it 's now the Santander 1 , 2 , 0.6 account and that does n't quite have the same attraction . The latest Santander 123 account rate cut , trying to turn a profit on mortgage holidays , how we pay for the coronavirus crisis and furlough scheme and the crash in car sales all feature on this week 's This is Money podcast . s this the stock market signalling the start of a coronavirus recovery , or have investors merely been piling in driven by Fomo - the fear of missing out ? On this week 's podcast , we look at the rally , what 's driving it - beyond Fomo - and the history of false dawns in stock market crashes , known as the dreaded dead cat bounce . Plus , how Britain gets back to business , tips for brave holiday bookers and 40-year-old cars that are now classics . Fiat Panda , anyone ? Should you save cash and accept low interest rates , or invest and take the risk that you could lose money ? This is the perennial dilemma for those with some money to set aside , who are looking to build their wealth . And it 's not been made easier by a rollercoaster 20 years . On this episode of the This is Money podcast , we look at how the options fare over the long-term , plus house prices and the businesses fighting insurer Hiscox over coronavirus . The economic destruction of the coronavirus crash was laid bare in a report from the Office of Budget Responsibility this week . But although the OBR forecast an astonishing 35% slump in UK output in the second quarter of this year - with a three-month lockdown - the other side of its chart showed a substantial bounce-back . What will we need to do for that recovery to happen - and what will it look like ? It can be tough to find good news at the moment but we go looking for some on this special podcast to celebrate spring having sprung . And amid the coronavirus gloom , there are some good news stories to tell , from how Britain has adapted to working from home , to the appreciation for our valued frontline workers and NHS staff , the entrepreneurs seeking opportunity in adversity and the ways people are finding to still stay social with friends and family . Until a few weeks ago , it 's unlikely many Britons had ever considered what being furloughed would mean , but now it 's the topic on many workers ' minds . It lies at the heart of the government 's coronavirus jobs rescue scheme - as it seeks to stem redundancies and offers to pay 80% of their wages up to ? 2,500 a month . But is picking up the wage bills of big businesses a wise move , will it help save jobs and is the price worth paying because the cost of not doing it is worse ? The Government has told people not to move home while the coronavirus lockdown is on , and the property market has been frozen as estate agents are instructed not to do viewings and valuations and surveys ca n't happen . Amidst all this , many are asking the inevitable question : ' What will happen to house prices ? ' Businesses and workers risk going bust on an almost unprecedented level , unless a coronavirus rescue plan that works can be cooked up , but how strange will that look ? Helicopter money , people 's QE and a universal basic income are three of the highly unusual measures suggested , but is that wise ? How did Rishi Sunak perform in his first Budget as Chancellor ? Why did stock markets crash ? And why did the base rate fall to 0.25% ? On this week 's podcast , Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost , dissect what has been one of the most turbulent weeks in living memory . We talk talk cash savings deals , the best services to invest , and how to overcome the fear that coronavirus-induced stock market falls have delivered . Elsewhere , we discuss the best new cars of the Geneva Motor Show that got cancelled but had its launches online and Lee Boyce cracks open a low-alcohol beer at Adnams brewery , in Suffolk , and asks : has the taste become better ... and why ?

This week , savings have been in sharp focus with National Savings and Investments cutting rates on a number of its offerings , including popular Premium Bonds . On this week 's podcast , Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost look at what 's behind the cuts and question : should savers head elsewhere and what is the point of tucking money away for little interest ? We talk to writers , comedians , podcasters and performers Tessa Coates and Stevie Martin about how you can make your money work if you work in the creative industry . From hosting their podcast Nobody Panic , to being in comedy trio Massive Dad , writing scripts and articles , and putting on Edinburgh shows , the pair have a lot of things to juggle . So how can you get ahead in the creative world ? We find out . This week started with rumours of a pension tax relief cut and mansion tax , saw the Chancellor fall on his sword , and ended with people none the wiser about whether a Budget tax raid is more or less likely after all that . The question is whose idea controversial plans were and whether they are now on the cards ( or was it all just a bit of Machiavellian manoeuvring ) ? We delve into the Chancellor saga , what we know about the new man , and what could happen in the Budget . Would you swap your car for an electric one ? If the government gets its way , soon many more of us will have to . The proposed ban on selling new petrol and diesel cars was dragged forward by five years to 2035 this week .

Money for the NHS , little extras for schools , money for roads , help for the high street and the baby rabbit in the hat , pulling forward a year early of the rise in the basic and higher rate tax thresholds to ? 12,500 and ? 50,000 , respectively . In the latest This is Money podcast , editor Simon Lambert and host Georgie Frost discuss what 's causing stock market turmoil , how long will it go on for and how concerned we should be . We also reveal the shares that have rocketed in the last five years , a question about inheriting state pensions and the best way to bag a property bargain . This week , we have a pre-Budget special . What could be in that little red box on Monday 29 October 2018 and what should definitely stay out ?

This week , This is Money launched another new campaign and we have the private parking sharks and the DVLA in our sights . We talk about the cases we have received from readers and listeners so far , ask how the DVLA is able to sell our details on and what can be done about the menace - along with what we want changed . Some mums or dads who stopped work to look after children are now finding they 've missed building up their state pension . We explain why this needs to be fixed . Also , on this show , why banks and building societies are cutting mortgage rates , despite the Bank of England raising rates . And can you really have a weekend away in Europe , flights and a decent hotel for ? 57 ? The reports of buy-to-let 's death have been greatly exaggerated . That is the view of one of the few professional residential property fund managers in the UK . In this week 's podcast , Simon Lambert , Sarah Davidson and Georgie Frost dig into the current state of buy-to-let and whether those without an entire property fund at their disposal can still turn a healthy profit if they think long-term . Plus , Marcus ' big savings deal , insurers spying on you and new car bargains . As banks went kaput a decade ago , the safety of our savings was thrust into the limelight . Ironically , a flight to safety led more people to save rather than invest , but had people invested as Lehman Brothers collapsed they would have more than doubled their money by now . So what can we learn from all this ? What do you do about the looming inheritance tax threat when you live with your elderly parents along with your own child and the home is worth nearly ? 10million - and you want to continue living there ? We do n't have to send our offspring off to university ill-equipped to deal with suddenly being in charge of their financial affairs - these helpful tips can stop all students from running out of cash before the clocks even change Established banks , challengers , fintech firms and payments providers - they all have one thing in common : none of them are immune to IT problems .

Buying a home , whether it is your first-time or not , can be a daunting experience . In our podcast special , we reveal tips and tricks from start-to-finish of the process . We have tips on taking the temperature of the local property market , working out what you can really afford , what to pay , how much to offer , how to do it and what happens next . The Government 's ? 11bn scheme to install 53m smart meters in homes and small businesses by the end of 2020 has been plagued by problems . In this week 's podcast Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost question , is it time to rethink the smart meter push ? From pubs to hotels and shops to petrol stations , Britain has gone parking mad . Private land owners have been signed up across the country by operators , who stick in automatic numberplate recognition cameras and then dish out tickets to motorists who stop there . We 've had countless stories of over-zealous fines and this week Lee Boyce revealed how he fought back after he was sent a ticket for stopping briefly at a BP petrol station . Interest rates have finally risen above 0.5 per cent for the first time in almost a decade . But why did the bank hike rates , who will it affect , why do interest rates even move up and down and how did they end up at 0.5 per cent in the first place ? More crucially , how high will they go now and how fast ? It 's all on this week 's podcast . We 're all going on a summer holiday ! Do n't worry , podcast fans , we are n't really , but we are dedicating this week 's show to the lucky among you who are . We cover all things money from planning your holiday to arriving back home again . We talk through what you need to know to make sure you have the best travel insurance while you 're away , to how to pay for things and withdraw cash while abroad to make your money go the furthest , to car hire tricks and getting compensation if something goes wrong . Working out what to do with a life-changing sum of money is a nice problem to have but that does n't mean it 's not tricky . We 've all read the stories of inheritances , lottery wins and other windfalls squandered - and even if you have spent a lifetime building your wealth , whether through investing or business , it would still be all too easy to rattle through the cash . On this week 's podcast we discuss how to enjoy some and invest the rest . As the Government lays out its road to zero , we look at what it will take to tempt us into electric cars , and how long their range needs to be for drivers to take them seriously . Also on this week 's podcast , we reveal a savings trick that could get you a 7 per cent return on ? 1,000 , ask whether fixing your mortgage for a decade is wise and look at how likely England 's world cup run is to boost the economy . Marcus is coming to town - a new player in the savings market , which could put some welcome pressure on rates at last . Meanwhile , rates are already starting to inch up , with fixed rate accounts at a two-year high - so will they keep on rising ? We discuss this and plenty more savings news in the This is Money podcast . We also talk about how much we need to save for retirement , why a raffle to win a Brixton flat has just been extended , and finally - can success in the World Cup really boost the economy ? The National Health Service is 70 years old this year and most of us are proud of the British institution , leaning on it in our times of need . However , we 're living longer with more complex problems and the service keeps crying out that it needs more money . Should we pay more tax for it ? What 's the most important thing when you want to move home ? Should you worry more about getting the best price or simply about getting your home sold ? In this week 's podcast , editor Simon Lambert , assistant editor Rachel Rickard Straus and money broadcaster Georgie Frost get to the bottom of why the housing market is coming to a standstill and reveal the truth about the Paddington Bear 50p coin ' worth thousands ' . Whatever happened to bitcoin ? After the mania at the end of last year when the price spiked to almost $20,000 , the cryptocurrency took a tumble but more noticeably attention has drained away . We take a look at who 's buying , who 's holding and who might be waiting for the price to rise again and greater fool theory to deliver someone who will take their bitcoin off their hands . The ramifications of the turmoil in Italy have spread across the globe and will affect Britons from big-time investors to anyone building up a pension pot . We explain what 's been going on . Also in this episode , editor Simon Lambert , presenter Georgie Frost and personal finance editor Rachel Rickard Straus talk about what you can do to stop your dream house move falling through , and whether proposals to make tax on savings and dividends simpler will work - or just see savers pay more tax . Money flipping is a Ponzi scheme , plain and simple , but what is one of those and who was Charles Ponzi , the man the scams are named after ? On this week 's podcast , Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost step back to America in 1920 to find out how Ponzi soared and then crashed - and look at the new money flipping scheme that has brought an old trick to today 's digital age . You do n't need to spend long reading the news to find a warning that Britain is n't saving enough for retirement - at particular risk are those who are self-employed , stopped saving into a pension at some point , or are just putting in the bare minimum . But with a little bit of effort it is possible to get back on track , we explain how in this special podcast . High house prices mean that the biggest barrier to buying a home in Britain is raising a deposit . With mortgage interest rates at near record low levels , many would be homeowners could afford monthly payments - but saving the average ? 30,000 deposit would take years.There is another route with a 95% mortgage , but is that ever a good idea ? A top bank has formed a ' money mule hunting squad ' , But should banks , universities and schools take more action to prevent young people getting sucked into this fraud ? And as Nationwide starts turning away grandparents trying to deposit cash for their grandkids , what is behind this new curb on everyday cash transactions ? As a generation retires with more money in their houses than the bank , it 's no surprise that a fresh wave of retirement interest-only mortgages are on the cards . Homeowners could have a more comfortable retirement , clear some debt , or hand the kids an early inheritance . Is that a good idea or a recipe for disaster - and how did we even end up here ? What has Mark Carney , the governor of the Bank of England , got to do with long-forgotten television soap Eldorado ? Find out in the latest This is Money podcast , in which editor Simon Lambert and consumer affairs editor Lee Boyce discuss the inflation figures out this week and whether it has increased the likelihood of a base rate rise . British Gas have revealed this week that more than four million households face a 5.5 per cent bill increase from the end of May thanks to changes to its standard variable tariff . EDF have also announced hikes - it is time to fight back and switch . Listen to the latest podcast . Good news . Chances are you just got a tax cut . Well an income tax cut at least , problem is the Government is after extra cash elsewhere . So who are the winners and losers of the new tax year that rolled round on 6 April ? And what are the candidates for dumbest bits of Britain 's tax code . Listen to the podcast to find out . On this week 's podcast , Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost talk pensions - what you need to know and do , and tips for a richer retirement . Also on this week 's show , some last minute Isa tips , how to share an inheritance if you want to divert it and the energy firm told it ca n't have any more new customers . And finally , selling used cars that are really new ones . Why on earth would a dealer do that ? My property is my pension . That was the popular saying when buy-to-let was all the rage and every other person you met fancied their chances as a minor property mogul . But life has got much tougher for landlords , with a series of tax grabs and tougher mortgage rules hitting . So does buy-to-let still stack up as a way to build your wealth ? Here is our special Isa podcast in which we dive into everything you need to know about Isas , from cash , to stocks and shares , and Innovative to Lifetime . The podcast tackles the basics and also tips for those who are experienced Isa savers or investors . It also looks at why investing is the best way to get inflation-beating returns over the long-term , how savers can eke some precious extra interest from accounts . What is the housing crisis , what made homes so expensive , and will building more make house prices cheaper ? We talk housing on this week 's podcast . Also why we are calling for action on the state pension top-up fiasco , how your driving licence might get Brexited , and what to say in an interview if asked to ' tell me about yourself ' . Toys R Us and Maplin were sunk this week , investors are nervously watching Carpetright and Mothercare , and restaurants from Jamie Oliver 's , to Byron , and now Prezzo are closing their doors . It looks like a slow motion crash on the High Street . But at the same time the economy is doing okay , and the housing market is reasonably buoyant , so why the trouble ? We take a look at that , plus what Buffett learnt from his bet and things that go wrong with new cars . Just how does the mythical and bizarre world of credit ratings really work ? How can you improve your score and what does the figure even mean ? On this week 's podcast , personal finance editor Rachel Rickard Straus and consumer affairs editor Lee Boyce join presenter Georgie Frost to discuss this and how one marker on a file left a reader with a ' do not employ ' status when looking for a job . Rising rates are often painted as bad news but for many a world in which they go up will look more enjoyable . What would be even more pleasurable is being paid more , so is Britain finally about to break out of its money 's too tight to mention phase and get a pay rise ? We discuss what we can do about it and how to look on the bright side of rising interest rates . Investors got a shock this week , when the Big Calm came to an abrupt end . Many were not surprised by that shares dropped , after all warnings that a correction must arrive have not been in short supply . But what did catch them off guard was quite how hard they fell . We look at why and how to tackle a tumble , plus when interest rates will next rise . The Chancellor asked for ideas for inheritance tax to be simplified this week , but should we even have a death tax at all ? We look at how it works , how to avoid it and whether it should be cut . Also on the podcast , the problem of interest-only timebomb mortgages , investing in emerging markets and how to buy bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as safely as possible . Many people think they could n't get conned , but then it happens to them . We look at how to spot the fraudsters , also on this week 's podcast , why Fundsmith has done so well , diesel cars and the fascinating world of Ikea that Lee Boyce discovered when he visited the Swedish place that it all began . The collapse of Carillion brought how Britain runs itself into the spotlight and also left many workers wondering about their money . But it 's not just their wages that are a concern , the safety of people 's final salary pensions is a major worry , so what keeps them safe ? . Alongside that we discuss the continuing madness of the cryptocurrency boom and the savings postcode lottery . Planning on relying on the state pension to keep you afloat in retirement ? After listening to this week 's podcast , you might want to have a rethink . On this episode , presenter Georgie Frost , consumer affairs editor Lee Boyce and personal finance editor Rachel Rickard Straus discuss what 's in store for the state pension . What will 2018 mean for our finances ? Inflation is forecast to subside , while interest rates are only tipped to rise very gently . Savings rates could continue to rise but house prices are predicted to be flat across the UK . From savings rates , to property prices and the prospects for the UK economy , we take a look on this week 's podcast . Tim Harford , presenter of the BBC 's More or Less , joins us for a second special episode of the This is Money podcast . We talk about facts and stats - checking them , debunking them , reporting them , baffling with them , battling over them . But that 's just the start . Tim argues that we think of facts as being either the truth or lies , but that actually factual claims can form part of our identity . Have you ever really thought about what it is that makes up the modern economy ? These are the things that surround us and we interact with , or depend on , everyday but rarely think about . For this special Christmas edition , Tim Harford , author of Fifty Things that Made the Modern Economy , joins the This is Money team for a guest appearance . It 's time for the annual This is Money Christmas taste test - and our look at how the supermarket business is faring . This year , the contenders are Sainsbury 's for the mass market , Waitrose for the upmarket , and Lidl for the discount challenger . Listen to that and the important money news of the week in the podcast . Behavioural economics tells us that we regularly behave irrationally - and nudge theory has been used by government and organisations around the world . But could you take matters into your own hands , tackle your own temptations and make yourself wealthier , or just happier ? We take a look . Is diesel being unfairly demonised ? Britain 's car industry is crying foul , as not a single new diesel car avoids the Budget tax hike because the test they have to pass has n't come in yet . Is bitcoin in a bubble ? Cryptocurrency fans say no , because while the price has risen tenfold this year , the blockchain and bitcoin have a use . We dive into two things hitting the headlines this week , diesel cars and bitcoin . On the plus side , the Budget brought an income tax cut for most , the promise of more homes being built , and no more stamp duty for most first-time buyers - but the negatives were never far away . Philip Hammond pulled a trick with the abolition of stamp duty for first-time buyers but was that enough to make us to forget the gloomy economic news ? Listen to this week 's podcast . Yes , it 's another Budget . And on Wednesday the Chancellor will hope that he 's the man to ride to the Tory rescue . From help for younger people , to stamp duty cuts , pension tinkering , building more homes and just fixing the roads , in this week 's podcast , we take a run through what might come up and what should be done . Have you ever dreamed of retiring early , or at least choosing to work on your own terms ? There is a niche but growing movement that 's all about financial independence - it 's not necessarily about stopping work completely , but it is about having the choice to do so ( or perhaps just ski instead if you prefer ) . On this week 's podcast , Simon Lambert , Laura Whitcombe and Georgie Frost dive in . What was the point of that Bank of England rate rise ? It was certainly a curiosity , coming alongside a decidedly downbeat Inflation Report.Was the rate rise to dampen inflation , to send a warning sign to borrowers , or just to put a tiny smile on beleaguered savers ' faces ? We look at why it happened and what next on our podcast . What do you need to know about wills , what 's easy , what 's complicated and what are the things you do n't want to think about but have to ? Listen to this week 's podcast to find out , as we also run through the rest of this week 's essential money news . From bank fraud help , to reliable cars and the ones people want to scrap - and will interest rates rise next week ? Inheritance tax is one of the most hated around . Despite the fact that most people will never leave enough wealth to have it charged on their estates , we really do n't like the idea of 40% above a certain amount going to the taxman . But IHT is also a tax that can be avoided . Listen to this week 's podcast to find out how and learn more about the Chancellor 's plan to help the young . Can a nudge in the right direction make you richer ? Professor Richard Thaler thinks so and he got a Nobel prize for economics this week . Why ? Listen to the podcast to find out that and all the other things you need to know about money , from an idea to bring house prices down , to whether you should fix your mortgage , why shares , bonds and other assets move in price - and our start-up competition . Forget coughing fits , pranksters and tumbling letters for a minute . Along with a car crash speech for Theresa May , the Tory party conference also brought a few policies that might make a difference to our financial lives . On this week 's podcast , Simon Lambert , Laura Whitcombe and Georgie Frost take a tour through them - and whether they have any chance of working - alongside the rest of the money news you need to know about . How worried should we be about what a sharp turn in a different economic direction from Labour could mean for the economy ? And should we just be worried about the economy anyway , or is that rumoured Bank of England rate hike a sign that things are absolutely fine ? On this week 's This is Money podcast , Simon Lambert , Georgie Frost and Lee Boyce take a look at whether the UK 's glass is half empty or half full . This week the team take a look at whether interest rates really could rise before the end of 2017 and what to do next with your mortgage rate . We also look into pension problems , talk about our collective energy switch and whether you should be excited about the new ? 10 note . This is Money has had a string of questions from readers looking to give their cash to children or grandchildren but who also wish to protect it from being squandered or lost in a relationship break-up . On this week 's This is Money podcast , Simon Lambert , Rachel Rickard Straus and Georgie Frost discuss why people are worried and what they can do - if anything . Plus , cheap emerging markets investment trusts , when interest rates could rise and can you pass a driving theory test ? In this episode top financial broadcaster Georgie Frost joins This is Money 's Lee Boyce and Rachel Rickard Straus to talk through the week 's big money stories and what they mean for you . They explain how you could still claim for missold PPI - even if you 've had a claim rejected , how you can help family and friends save hundreds of pounds by helping them switch utility providers and Lee and Rachel go head to head over cashback websites. |

This was a crucial element to pulling of the crafty trick as he now had access to the phone 's password keychain where login credentials for banking apps were there for the taking . Johnson and his accomplices swindled thousands of dollars from the accounts - often before the victim even realised their phone had been swiped . The security flaw is what prompted the recent launch of Apple 's " Stolen Device Protection " - a setting that prevents cyber-criminals from locking iPhone users out of their Apple accounts or accessing any of their passwords stored in Apple 's Keychain . Johnson explained that he would go to bars and target college-aged men with Pro iPhone models instead of women due to them being " more guarded and alert to suspicious behaviour " . Describing how quickly he could change passwords , he said : " faster than you could say **34;1343;TOOLONG . " You got ta beat the mice to the cheese . " Once he had set up his Face ID , Johnson would swiftly transfer large sums of money out of the victim @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Zelle , and Coinbase . The next day , Johnson would go on a spending spree and would buy stuff using Apple Pay , including other Apple products . After he had rinsed the account he would sell the phone to Zhongshuang " Brandon ' Su " , also known as the " iPhone Man " . The 32-year-old would allegedly then sell many of the stolen phones overseas , including to Hong Kong . A successful weekend would result in Johnson selling up to 30 iPhones and iPads to Su and making around ? 16,000 - not including money he 'd taken from victims ' bank apps . Last week , Apple added a new layer of protection in the latest iOS update called the Stolen Device Protection . If the feature detects an unknown location of the iPhone , it will require Apple 's Face ID to unlock the device . Stolen Device Protection is set to roll out with Apple 's iOS 17.3 but is currently being tested in beta . At the centre of Stolen Device Protection @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's Face ID or Touch ID and geolocation data on the iPhone owner 's most familiar places . When users enable Stolen Device Protection , three new protective features will be activated . Stolen Device Protection is designed to block any thief 's attempt to lock out the owner by switching the Apple ID if the effort is made when their iPhone is not in a familiar location , like their home or office . If the owner , a thief or anyone else tries to change the Apple ID password away from these familiar locations , the device will require the owner 's Face ID or Touch ID twice . After the first biometric scan via Face ID or Touch ID , the setting requires a second scan one hour before changes can be made . This prevents the kind of low-risk " smash and grab " an iPhone thief is most likely to attempt . Stolen Device Protection will also require two Face ID or Touch ID scans one hour apart if anyone operating the iPhone from a strange location attempts to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a user 's trusted phone number . Apple 's recovery key provides a randomly generated 28-character code to deal with lost access to their Apple ID , which users can then save somewhere safe ( whether handwritten , emailed to themselves , memorised or something more creative ) . Protecting these features ensures that a thief ca n't lock you out of everything you have saved to iCloud , including personal photos or important files , which might otherwise be lost forever . 4 The thief said he could change passwords ' faster than you could say **41;1379;TOOLONG : WSJ 4 A successful weekend would result in Johnson making around ? 16,000Credit : WSJ |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'pull out of hosting', which is a phrasal verb 'pull out' followed by a prepositional phrase 'of hosting'. There is no NP object between the verb and 'out of', and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'drop out of' as a phrasal verb followed by a gerund phrase 'being a step-in Santa early', which does not involve a causer-causee relationship or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks a VP2[-ing] predicate and does not exhibit either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to describe a situation where an action (panic purchase) had an effect (ruled them out) on a potential outcome (signing Harry Kane), but this does not align with the specific grammatical and semantic properties of the transitive out of -ing construction as outlined.

Inside details of Manchester United 's transfer issues have been laid bare as the Red Devils continue to suffer on the pitch . United have been one of the Premier League 's biggest spenders in recent seasons , but they have no silverware to show for it . A high number of United 's signings have also turned out to be complete busts . Now a report by The Athletic has laid bare the chaos behind the scenes at Old Trafford . It states that agents acting during the time Erik ten Hag took office at Old Trafford claim the club were acting almost without a plan when it came to signings . Unlike the majority of Premier League side who operate with a shadow squad -- a way for managers to see what players are being targeted for each position -- the Red Devils used a scouting base that contained thousands of names . As a result , United were starting from scratch in the window under Ten Hag . Although that approach has now been changed , the uncertainty at the time caused the Dutchman to take matters into his own hands @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Erik ten Hag 's transfers at Manchester United ? Let us know in the comments section Antony was one of those signed at a significant cost by Erik ten Hag ( Image : Getty Images ) Another source at United believes a year 's work was crammed into three months during Ten Hag 's first summer . He said United started work in May 2022 for the summer signings , but believed it should have started in September 2021 . The feeling at United , reportedly , was due to the change in management - any work done earlier in the season would have been futile . However , it has since led to a number of decisions that have impacted the club . Antony , who was valued at ? 25m internally , was signed for ? 86m - while Casemiro 's panic purchase after two heavy defeats effectively ruled them out of signing Harry Kane .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'opt out of' followed by a noun phrase 'Advertising cookies', which does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the sentence does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Brianna Ghey : ' She had a strong sense of justice and was not afraid to say what she thought ' ( Image : PA ) During her short - but colourful - life , Brianna Ghey created a lasting legacy . Despite her social anxiety and mental health troubles , which made her life difficult in some aspects , she was able to act as an inspiration to thousands of people . Her mother , Esther Ghey , is determined to ensure that her memory is kept alive , as she campaigns for better mental health support for children in schools . Brianna had her struggles , but was cruelly and brutally robbed of the chance to work through them . The day she was murdered , stabbed 28 times during a frenzied attack after being betrayed by a ' friend ' she thought she could trust , Brianna had built up the courage to take the bus on her own . This would usually prove difficult due to her anxiety . Esther was proud of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But she was tragically unaware that Brianna was caught in a fatal trap . Brianna 's mum was particularly proud because she was worried how the 16-year-old would cope with her impending life as a college student . Brianna , who attended Birchwood High School , had planned to study a course in hair and beauty after completing her GCSEs . She would have to take the bus on her own to make it to her college class . Hair and beauty was a natural choice for Brianna , who had inspired and entertained thousands of young people online through her TikTok page , posting under the username ' gingerpuppyx ' . On her page , which was followed by more than 30,000 people , she gave make-up tips , posted clips of her trying on outfits and of her lip-syncing to songs . " She used to get lots and lots of likes and nice comments , " Esther told the BBC . " I 've got a video where she flipped the camera onto herself , and she said ' here I am , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Brianna . " Born as a boy , at the time of her death Brianna was living as a female . She had not undergone gender reassignment surgery . Her mum said Brianna decided to live as a female at the age of 14 . " She had started growing her hair , and she was showing an interest in make-up , and then she came out as trans , " Esther said . " It was n't an issue at all . " I think as a parent , all you ever want is for your child to be happy . She was fearless to be whoever she wanted to be . She wanted to identify as a female , and she wanted to wear girls ' school uniform . She just did it , it was n't a hurdle at all . She was very unique . Brianna Ghey ( Image : Liverpool Echo ) " She was absolutely happy to be who she wanted to be . There was no apologies for who she wanted to be . " As she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Birchwood with her mum and older sister , began to inspire thousands of others who were taking a similar path . She was sadly not here to witness the outpouring of support and solidarity among trans communities across the country in the wake of her death . The impact of her huge social media following was keenly felt at a vigil held on Sackville Gardens in Manchester city centre . A friend of Brianna , who met her online , shared her favourite memories with the teenager . She explained how Brianna had helped her while she was growing up as a young transgender woman , describing her as ' the most welcoming person I ever encountered ' . " She was helping me find the best hair extensions , good make-up brands , clothes , and truly uplifted me , " Brianna 's friend told the M.E.N . " I stood by her throughout the past few years in utter awe of her beauty , as it was truly mesmerising . I 'm going to miss our Facetimes discussing our favourite fashion trends , outfit ideas - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ honesty , which I admired . " Addressing Brianna , she added : " The impact you have left on my life is so great . I just know you 're looking down on me , with your 60-inch ginger hair , most gorgeous nails and truly iconic outfits . " Brianna Ghey boarding the number 28 bus to Culcheth on February 11 ( Image : Cheshire Police ) Her time at school was not always easy , due to her mental health difficulties . Her mum said that Brianna was known to self-harm , and she did n't leave the house very often , preferring to socialise online . The headteacher of her school , Emma Mills , paid her own tribute to her , describing Brianna as ' iconic ' . " Losing Brianna has been heart-breaking , " she said . " She was a creative , witty young lady who was robbed of the chance to overcome her anxieties , robbed of the chance to grow up and robbed of the chance to fulfil her ambitions of training in hair and beauty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'gets' is transitive and selects an NP object 'a kick', but the phrase 'out of watching other humans interacting' does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the source of enjoyment, which is not a characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Bafta winner Barry Keoghan takes on his biggest role to date as the enigmatic protagonist of Emerald Fennell 's Saltburn . Source : Credit Amazon MGM Studios Barry Keoghan in ' Saltburn ' The scene Barry Keoghan knew he wanted to get right as Oliver Quick in Saltburn was not that jaw-dropping naked dance at the end of the film , nor the jaw-dropping licking of the bathtub or the jaw- ? dropping humping of the grave , it was a more contemplative and less showy moment -- the morning after the Midsummer Night 's Dream party . " Oliver just steps out onto that balcony and has this look of despair , " Keoghan says . " He throws a tennis ball into the pond . We 're seeing a real , raw , broken- ? down boy there . You have to let your shoulders drop , I wanted to look beaten . I wanted to show defeat , and from that point on , he says , ' I 'm going to show you . ' " Writer/director Emerald Fennell offered Keoghan the part before he even read the script @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actor 's performance in Yorgos Lanthimos 's 2017 film The Killing Of A Sacred Deer . The actor said yes to Saltburn thanks to Fennell 's passion and vision . Once he was sent the script , Keoghan said reading it " felt a like a celebration that I get to do this ... it was such a proper showcase for an actor , there 's so much required . " Indeed , Oliver is a particular challenge , and Keoghan 's most substantial lead role to date -- following his co-lead in Bart Layton 's American Animals ( 2018 ) . Oliver proves a fish out of water at Oxford University , telling a sob story about his dis ? advantaged background to the toffs around him , including Felix Catton ( Jacob Elordi ) . When Felix invites him to his family estate , Saltburn , for the long , hot summer of 2007 , Oliver impacts each member of the Catton clan . Oliver is always the outsider , observing but not quite fitting in . He is also a liar and , by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just how deceitful he has been . " What he does is n't very nice , " Keoghan says . " But he 's also a feckin ' genius -- the way he maps everything out . He 's also a top observer ; he 's a bit of an investigator . He 's lost , he 's confused , but he just gets a kick out of watching other humans interacting , learning about their morals and their motives . " In preparing for the shoot , Keoghan continued a practice he started a few years ago -- writing down his character 's traits in Moleskine notebooks . " It was my first full lead role and I wanted to have total concentration , " he explains . He filled up five notebooks to understand Oliver . " With Emerald 's script , everything 's there . So I could go away by myself and put the work in and just get into character that way . The beauty of that is you 're in control of creating that character . " The five notebooks were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a different acceleration for him or a different domain or a different physicality or slight changes in how he looks at someone . So if I had scene 78 or wherever we were in the script , I could revert back to that notebook , so I know what to do where . I wanted those changes in him to be quite noticeable . " Fennell , making her second feature after the Oscar- and Bafta- ? winning Promising Young Woman , was the kind of director who gave him the freedom to explore Oliver . " The brilliant thing with Emerald is that I could bring all that back to her -- she was a director who gave me the confidence to try it . She gave me that licence to be silly , or to creatively go out there and fail or take it to the next level . That 's all I want , to keep pushing the boundaries , to discover a character with the director . " He thinks he " takes better direction " from women -- " I was raised by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I do n't put up that subconscious guard with women and I can show more vulnerability " ? -- and he has relished experiences with the likes of Fennell , Andrea Arnold and Chloe Zhao . But he reassures that he is not avoiding male directors , of course . " Please hire me , " he says with a laugh . Source : Amazon MGM Studios ' Saltburn ' For Saltburn , the cast and crew stayed at or near the estate in Northamptonshire where the film was shot and Keoghan enjoyed their bonding time together on set . " It was like a big summer camp , " he says . " It was a joy being in that house and roaming around . " And the house , as well as the actor , are on full display in the now- ? infamous final dance scene , choreographed by Polly Bennett to Sophie Ellis-Bextor 's ' Murder On The Dancefloor ' . On the day of shooting , he went through the one-take shot 11 times . He was not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more worried about moving his hips correctly . " I wanted to get it right , " he says . " I was trying to perfect it because I wanted it to look gorgeous with this naked figure roaming about all those rooms with their grand paintings and drapery . It 's also a thing of him feeling his power that this is his now . " Keoghan used to be a boxer -- a great background for that dance sequence , Fennell says . Other than the dance moves , he did not do any extraordinary physical preparation for Saltburn . He explains that Oliver was not meant to be buff and sexy , and jokes , " no matter how hard you train , you 're not gon na look better than Jacob ... But I do tend to stay in shape . " Released by Amazon MGM Studios in North America and Warner Bros internationally , Saltburn has proved a notable box-office hit in UK/Ireland , grossing $4m ( ? 3.2m ) in its first 17 days in the territory . And Keoghan , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nomination for Martin McDonagh 's The Banshees Of Inisherin , is trying to keep his same focus on choosing the projects that will move him forward . He would love for the right role to come along that allows him to make a physical transformation as well -- inspired by the work of Daniel Day-Lewis , Tom Hardy or Christian Bale . Keoghan is not ruling out a move into directing one day -- although not yet . " I 'm learning more and I 'm moving more into that filmmaker world . Would my film be any good ? I do n't think so but I 'd still be up for trying . " The Irish actor is now spending most of his time in Los Angeles , with his girlfriend and their toddler son Brando , but will go where the parts take him . Since Saltburn wrapped , he has shot Andrea Arnold 's Bird ( even living with Arnold for a short while to learn more about the world she was creating ) , Chris Andrews ' feature debut Bring Them Down ( in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ feature with Waves director Trey Edward Shults . " It sounds so clich ? , but I grew up with the Hollywood sign on my bedroom wall , so I want to give it a real shot , " he says of his time in the US . He is certainly not just seeking fame and fortune with bigger films ( his credits already include Marvel 's Eternals , Dunkirk and TV 's Chernobyl ) . " It 's more about how can I get better as an artist and as a person , and learn a little bit about myself . " Jesse Moss and Amanda McBaine were n't the only filmmakers drawn to the story of John Chau , the young American missionary whose death on a remote Indian island made headlines in 2018 .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'trying to wriggle out of paying a claim' involves an NP ('a claim') as a complement of the complex preposition 'out of', and 'paying' modifies the following head noun 'claim'. This does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, nor does it involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

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

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'she' (Kellie) is the NP object and 'handing herself in' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. The verb 'talked' in the V1 slot fits the classification of verbs that appear in this construction, specifically by means of verbal persuasion. The sentence also exhibits a prevention interpretation, as Sharon prevented Kellie from handing herself in by talking her out of it. The NP object 'herself' is coreferential with the subject 'she', which is an atypical but acceptable type of NP object in this construction.

But following the death of Keanu , the ladies started arguing between themselves over who had killed the lad , and who was an accessory to his death . Stacey and Kathy both urged the others to call the authorities - with Stacey preparing to throw Linda under the bus , blaming her for Keanu 's death , and Kathy urgently wanted to summon an ambulance to help Nish . But Denise argued that all six women were part of Keanu 's death and that they would all be charged with ' joint enterprise ' due to the fact the women had encouraged the acts of violence not he night - and said she was willing to testify to that effect if the others did n't help her cover up the death .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'out of nothing' as a prepositional phrase indicating the creation of something from nothing, which is unrelated to the transitive out of -ing construction.

Ipswich Town drew 1-1 with Leicester City in a top-of-the-table Championship clash at Portman Road last night . Stuart Watson reflects on the action . George Hirst leaves the field after suffering a hamstring injury in the first half . ( Image : Steve Waller ) SHORTAGE OF STRIKERS With 17 minutes on the clock , George Hirst overstretched trying to control the ball near the halfway line . He went down and stayed down . After the physios came on , the Town front man jolted in discomfort , clutching his right hamstring , when trying to extend his right leg . It did n't look good but , keen to impress against his former employers , he attempted to play on . A few minutes later he was sat down on the turf again . This time his race was run . Interestingly , Kayden Jackson was the man chosen to replace him off the bench rather than Freddie Ladapo . Kieran McKenna obviously felt the former 's pace and work rate was better suited against a team that likes to build from the back . Jackson did alright , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ willing runner . There were some neat little touches too . I still prefer him in a wider role though . Meanwhile , Ladapo did n't get on until the 87th minute . It 's increasingly looking like he 'll sold next month given the recent lack of game time . With Dane Scarlett set to be recalled by Tottenham in the New Year , and Hirst potentially set for a spell on the sidelines , the Blues are certainly looking a bit thin in the central striker department . There 's no doubting that 's the top priority when the transfer window opens . There were periods in this game where Leicester popped the ball about confidently , controlling the tempo . They may not have been at their slick best in attack , but you always felt they could suddenly switch up a gear and produce something out of nothing . The opening goal , midway through the first half , was a prime example of that . Stephy Mavididi 's curling finish beyond the despairing dive of Vaclav Hladky was class . Why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the left ? I think credit has to go to Enzo Maresca 's tactically-astute side here . As the Ipswich team pivoted , the Foxes sniffed out the spare man . It can happen . Ipswich now faced the unenviable task of needing to score against a streetwise team who had conceded just 10 times in 11 league games on the road . Leif Davis is just beaten to a far post header by Abdul Fatawu . ( Image : Steve Waller ) ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT This sounds like a mad thing to say about the joint topscorers in the league ( 48 goals in 24 games ) , but Ipswich have n't been ruthless enough of late . Not finishing off good chances against Norwich proved costly . It was a similar story , in a slightly different way , in this one too . Ipswich pressed well , cut off passing angles and forced several high turnovers . They often managed to get Wes Burns into the space vacated by highly-positioned left-back Wout Faes . They had spells on the front foot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and ended the game with 19 efforts on goal . Frustratingly , however , the final little bit - be it the pass , cross or shot - was n't quite there to break down the division 's meanest defence . " We could have done better on a few transition moments . A few final touches , final finishes - there are things we can improve , " admitted Town forward Conor Chaplin , who has n't been hitting the target quite as regularly in recent games . Blues boss McKenna said : " We forced so many mistakes and turnovers high up the pitch and we created some good moments for ourselves with the ball as well . It 's just about execution then . Up until the very end their execution was better than ours in the big moments because they produced a great finish for the goal , while we were n't able to get the final pass off or produce the right finish . " It shows there 's level to go still . We have to keep improving our execution @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " Town are n't just patting themselves on the backs for this unbelievable start to the season . Their relentless pursuit of excellence is quite something to behold . It 's often said that ' luck evens itself out over the course of a season ' when it comes to refereeing decisions . Ipswich , who have been denied some stonewall spot-kicks this campaign , cashed in on a bit of credit in this one . The Blues had two penalty appeals in this game . Replays show the ball hit Conor Coady 's stomach/chest at 0-0 rather than the arm , so forget about that one . Abdul Fatawu did catch Leif Davis late when sliding in to stop a cross just after the hour mark . If I 'm honest though , I do n't think that was spot-kick either . Leicester , I think , can feel harder done by . Marcus Harness ( who played well ) was certainly fortunate not to be dismissed for a second yellow moments after that aforementioned Fatawu/Davis incident . Then , in the 75th minute @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . The Australian international got none of the ball and only had eyes on the player . Shoulder-to-shoulder and simply a case of being too strong ? McKenna thought so . Personally , I think Ipswich got away with one there . You 'd certainly be disappointed if it was the other way around . Sam Morsy 's late shot is deflected on its way to goal . ( Image : Steve Waller ) FULLY DESERVED Another well-worn football cliche that is applicable to Ipswich in this game is ' you make your own luck ' . Instead of pushing for a killer second , Leicester resorted to time-wasting when it came to dead balls and substitutions . Ipswich , meanwhile , kept knocking on the door and building the second half pressure . Eventually that pressure told in the third of five added minutes . It was a bit of a hopeful swing of the left foot by Sam Morsy on the edge of the box . The shot took two deflections , the first off the leg of Ricardo Pereira and the second @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ keeper Mads Hermansen . Fortune favours the brave . Ipswich , having been picked off by Leeds a few days earlier , had stuck to their principles in another tough game , played to the very last whistle and been rewarded . More than the half the season has now passed . Town have played everyone in the Championship at least once and they 've only lost to two different teams . McKenna is still to taste back-to-back defeats as Ipswich boss . Second place . Six points behind Leicester , five ahead of Southampton and eight clear of Leeds . Hands up who would have taken that before a ball was kicked ? Hands up who would have taken that on Christmas Day ? December always looked dangerous on paper . Town have navigated those choppy waters pretty well . Chastening defeats at West Brom and Leeds were moved on from quickly . What character . This result could well be looked back on as a pivotal moment in the season . It feels like a significant psychological boost . It nips in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' ( which would have been ridiculous anyway ) . With key men Massimo Luongo and Nathan Broadhead rested , and main striker Hirst having limped off early , Town were still able to give as good as they got against one of the best - if not the best - teams in Championship history .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate structure. Instead, it discusses a potential action (pull out of selling) without the necessary components for the construction, such as a causee or the specific interpretations (movement/extraction or prevention).

The Glazer family are reportedly at risk of footing a huge fine if they prevent Sir Jim Ratcliffe from investing in Manchester United .

Ratcliffe 's Man United investment is all but done ( Image : Getty Images ) " As a local boy and a lifelong supporter of the club , I am very pleased that we have been able to agree a deal with the Manchester United board that delegates us management responsibility of the football operations , " he said in a statement .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It mentions 'pull out of selling United's minority stake', which involves the phrasal verb 'pull out of' followed by a gerund, but lacks an NP object that functions as a causee. Additionally, it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the transitive out of -ing construction.

The Glazer family are reportedly at risk of footing a huge fine if they prevent Sir Jim Ratcliffe from investing in Manchester United . Ratcliffe 's agreement to buy 25% of the Premier League powerhouse for ? 1.3billion is understood to be a formality after the club itself confirmed his stake . The Ineos founder will now be subject to an approval process , with the Premier League required to sign off on the deal to ensure all is above board . Proving those independent bodies each green-light the purchase , the Glazers themselves are the only other people with the power to pull the plug . But doing so would mean they 'd reportedly have to fork out ? 52million ( $66m ) to the British billionaire . The Independent claim Ratcliffe would be owed ? 38m ( $48m ) in that event , plus ? 14m ( $18m ) as a termination fee to cover expenses . Then again , some United fans may attest there are worse decisions that have been made at Old Trafford in recent years . Racliffe , 71 , was born and raised in nearby Oldham and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ restoring the club 's former glory . United are no longer the perennial title contenders of old , but the incoming board member has spoken of his desire to steer the club back to where he believes it belongs .

Ratcliffe 's Man United investment is all but done ( Image : Getty Images ) " As a local boy and a lifelong supporter of the club , I am very pleased that we have been able to agree a deal with the Manchester United board that delegates us management responsibility of the football operations , " he said in a statement .

Reasoning

The sentence 'But what it does with Bobby coming into this scenario is snap her out of going into the doldrums and going all reflective.' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject (it) + V1 (snap) + NP object (her) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (going into the doldrums and going all reflective). It also induces a movement/extraction interpretation, where 'it' (the scenario with Bobby) causes 'her' to move out of the state of 'going into the doldrums and going all reflective'. The verb 'snap' can be classified under the means of exerting force or pressure, which is one of the categories of verbs that can appear in the V1 slot of the construction. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The actor and comedian first rose to fame when he was just 14 on the seventh series of ITV show back in 2014 . His stand-up comedy routine was an immediate hit with the judges and viewers and he went on to soared to the finals before he was pipped to the post by the pop group Collabro . The former Britain 's Got Talent star moved to the cobbles on Boxing Day where he portrays Bobby Donovan , the son of Carla 's brother Rob Donovan . In an interview with Daily Star and other press , the 25-year-old has teased an exciting storyline on the horizon . He teased : " It 's very , very exciting -- I 'd even go so far as to say blockbuster . There 's always a little bit of apprehension because I 've only been here a couple of weeks and then I found out that I was going to be part of this massive storyline . " But I think after that dissipates a little then you 're just very excited to get stuck in . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the character and see what craziness they put me in , I 'm very excited . " Speaking about his arrival on the show , Alison King -- who plays Carla Barlow on the cobbles -- confessed that Bobby is the key to her character getting over her separation from her husband Peter . She explained : " She is not looking for love , she 's still got her rings on , she 's not over Peter just like that . Carla was heartbroken while saying goodbye to Peter ( Image : ITV ) " But what it does with Bobby coming into this scenario is snap her out of going into the doldrums and going all reflective . She is trying to be quite cut and dry about it , you know , I 've done this , I 've made this decision , I 've made Peter make this decision along the way to leave . " Emotional scenes on Boxing Day saw a tearful Peter say goodbye to Carla . It was her idea to let him go sailing around the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Carla deal with her split from Peter ( Image : ITV ) The actress went on to reveal how Bobby will bring some chaos to Weatherfield . She went on : " In the factory people are walking on eggshells around her and she does n't want that . " It was going to be tough so Bobby arriving has kind of snapped her out of that because he 's so much trouble . Him coming in and creating havoc a little bit distracts her , and her having to support him in lots of different ways stops any self-indulgence . So that 's been amazing . " Jack went on to reveal that Bobby was created for him personally by a writer on the team . He explained : " A friend of mine is a writer on the show , and he came up with this pitch and we 've been talking about it for a while . His character was written entirely for Jack ( Image : ITV ) Have you joined Threads ? Follow Daily Star to keep up to date @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ' I think I 've got this idea for a character based on you ' .

It really is a dream come true to be part of such a cultural institution and I really am delighted . " Fans will have to stay tuned to see what sort of trouble the cheeky chap will get up to on the cobbles .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'suck the happiness out of everything you love', where 'everything you love' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate.

They say it 's the most wonderful time of the year , but I can assure you it 's not if you 're watching Kirk Cameron 's 2014 film Saving Christmas . Warning to readers : Do not watch this film . One viewer on YouTube wrote : " I saw this movie on a plane , and people still walked out , " and that just about sums it up for you . Sure , it 's fun to stick on a terrible movie with your mates and rip it to shreds . But there are some films that are simply too bad to enjoy . Some films suck the happiness out of everything you love , and this one will leave you wanting to kick over your Christmas tree . Do n't just take it from me . This film is the worst Christmas film ever and fifth worst film overall according to IMDb . It has a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and is now considered one of the worst movies ever made . I tried to watch this film so that you did n't have to . I did n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . But despite my mediocre efforts , it was so bad that I could n't make it to the end . Saving Christmas ( 2014 ) wo n't save your Christmas - it will ruin it Here 's the plot . Basically , Kirk Cameron decides his cynical brother-in-law Christian ( subtle name ) is ruining his annual Christmas party by being grumpy about it all . Christian feels Christmas has become too over-commercialised and no longer honours Jesus Christ and the bible . No longer able to endure the festivities , he decides to hide in his car on the driveway . But our self-aggrandising Christmas hero Kirk decides he needs to give his brother-in-law an " intervention " , because apparently you ca n't be anything other than dangerously excited about the holiday season . One viewer on YouTube wrote : " I saw this movie on a plane , and people still walked out " Devoted Christian Kirk decides the best way to convince him that Christmas is still an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Nativity ( I 'm not kidding ) . Christian objects to Christmas trees because he 's convinced they did n't show up in the bible , and he has a number of other issues . Genuinely , at one point he 's upset because " Santa " is an anagram of " Satan " . Eventually , Kirk manages to persuade Christian that the modern Christmas still honours its Christian roots . With a new lease of life and love for Santa , Christian rushes back into the house and parties it up with wife Debbie , who had been gutted that he was n't getting into the festive spirit . This film is the worst Christmas film ever and fifth worst film overall according to IMDb This is why it sucks . It feels like Cameron is holding you hostage and giving you a TedTalk about why Christmas is great . The start of the movie features Cameron lecturing you ( with some uncomfortably long pauses ) . He goes on a weird rant about people who do n't understand the true meaning of Xmas while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is just ... bizarre . During a chat with his sister Debbie , he ( sort of ) threatens to beat up his brother-in-law , and the next minute he 's pouring hot chocolate for kids ( did he mention he likes hot chocolate ? ) . There are some films that are simply too bad to enjoy ( Image : Samuel Goldwyn **30;194;TOOLONG ) Up next is a really weird scene trying to tell us how much Christian hates Christmas . Suddenly , horror music kicks in over creepy slow-motion shots of kids enjoying the party ( Are they in danger now ? Should we be worried ? ) . At one point during this scene , Kirk talks about how a candy cane could be seen as a " perverted symbol " . Okay ? ? ? Enter : The most annoying ' comic relief ' character ever - Diondre - Christian 's colleague - who rants about how they can no longer enjoy " crazy shirt Fridays " in the office . He 's so irritating that even the film decides to cut him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who despite being the scrooge of the story is already the most relatable character . Both Christian and I are sick of it already . It feels like Cameron is holding you hostage and giving you a TedTalk about why Christmas is great Have you joined Threads ? Follow Daily Star to keep up to date on all things showbiz here The rest of the film takes place in the gloomy atmosphere of Christian 's car ( really treating the viewers here ) with absolutely no redeeming moments of comedy or decent acting . Cue to a painfully unfunny scene with no relevance to the plot where Diondre and his friend discuss conspiracy theories and declare that there 's been a " war on Christmas " . Their hushed conversation takes place behind mugs and exposes some dreadful editing that in no syncs up to the movement on their lips . If you 're going to include a sh** and pointless scene in your film , at least edit it properly . If you were after a moment of joy in this bleak Christmas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it at the end . But you 're in no luck at all , because the climax is Christian awkwardly breakdancing in front of everybody to show how much he loves this Christmas party that he 's been hiding from .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It involves the verb 'getting' with an NP object 'a kick', but it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of pinging over...' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it fit the semantic requirements of the construction.

One minute he says he loves me and wants us to be together full time . The next he 's urging me to " cool it " while he sorts his life out . In between he pings over outrageous pictures of his manhood and urges me to thrill him with shots of my naked body . At the moment we 're physically apart because my sister is home after working in New York and I 'm climbing the walls with sexual frustration . He definitely wants to divorce her and be with me full-time but confesses that things are tricky because she 's controlling . She 's always been the main bread winner and he fears she 'll take the house and everything in it if he does n't play his cards right . He 's right , she is a nightmare .

Back off before everything blows up in your face ; before your sister finds out ; your family hits the roof , and your reputation takes the biggest battering of its life . I do n't believe that your brother-in-law has any intention of leaving home and being with you forever . He 's using you . He 's an opportunistic chancer . Suggest that he now tells his wife everything .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('she was talked out of handing herself in by Sharon'). It involves a prevention interpretation where Sharon prevents the character from handing herself in. The verb 'talked' fits into the category of verbs that appear in the V1 slot (by means of verbal persuasion). The NP object 'herself' is a reflexive pronoun coreferential with the subject, which is an atypical but acceptable type of NP object in this construction.

The A Bridge Too Far actor , 90 , devastated fans when he announced his retirement from acting in October . The British legend has been in more than 160 films over a career spanning seven decades . At the time , Sir Michael told the BBC : " You do n't have leading men at 90 . " " I keep saying I 'm going to retire . Well , I am now . I 've figured , I 've had a picture where I 've played the lead and had incredible reviews ... What am I going to do that will beat this ? " And now , a few months after his announcement , it has been revealed he was asked to take part in one final series .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'Carlo Ancelotti' is the NP subject, 'rule' is the V1, 'him' is the NP object, and 'becoming Brazil national coach' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also gives rise to a prevention interpretation, as the action of extending his contract prevents him from becoming the Brazil national coach. The verb 'rule' can be classified under the means of exerting force or pressure, and the NP object 'him' functions as a causee. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

" Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti have reached agreement on the extension of his contract till June 30 , 2026 , " Real said in a statement . It had been reported in July this year that 64-year-old Ancelotti would become the first foreigner to coach Brazil in 60 years once he saw out his present Real contract next year .

The sentence 'They 're making something out of nothing.' does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks a VP2[-ing] predicate and does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'out of' in a different idiomatic sense.

WARNING : GRAPHIC IMAGES AND CONTENT . Ian Tickhill , 58 , from Hull , East Yorkshire , suffered a deep slash wound to his calf during a machete-wielding man 's rampage on a beach in Agadir , Morocco , but said the incident has been exaggerated Debby and Ian Tickhill returned to the same beach on Saturday morning , days after the attack ( Ian Tickhill , from Hull , East Yorkshire , was lying on a sun bed next to his wife Debby in Agadir on Thursday afternoon when the incident occurred - and has shared grim photos of his wounds with the Mirror . The 58-year-old said despite some reports it " was over in a matter of seconds " and there was " no mass hysteria " . In fact , he did n't even realise he 'd been wounded when he hotfooted it across the sand to ward off the man . He said the attacker fled into the sea with his blade and locals came down from the surrounding promenade to help form a guard preventing him from getting back out . Ian described how the man was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any closer and so they waited until he had tired himself out treading water before detaining him . " I do n't understand where he thought he was going because next stop is the Canary Islands , " Ian told the Mirror . " He caught five of us altogether . By the time he got to the sea I think he 'd lost it and did n't know what else to do . The police just thought ' we 'll wait ' because he had quite a heavy tracksuit on , it 's not going to take long for you when you 're treading water in hot weather . " Did you witness this incident ? Let us know at webnews@mirror.co.uk Ian suffered a deep wound to his calf ( Image : Ian Tickhill ) He received internal and external stitches ( Image : Ian Tickhill ) Ian - who arrived in Morocco on December 22 - said the man came down from the footpath ahead of the beach around 4pm and ran down the first line of sun beds @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and he and Debby , 56 , were just unlucky . " As he hit my wife I went to stand up and that 's how he caught my leg , " he explained . " I started chasing him and that 's when my wife shouted me back and I thought I better go and see if he 's injured . She told me I was bleeding . " He continued : " The first lady he hit is actually a Belgian-Moroccan lady . She looks like a typical local . He was n't targeting white people or anything . He did n't even shout anything . He just ran down . " There 's only 100 metres of beach before you 're in the sea and that 's literally how long it took . At first I thought he 'd hit me with a baton or a truncheon or something . I just wrapped my towel round it . They took us in an ambulance to the hospital . " Ian - who suffered the worst of the injuries - added that police reinforcements @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ locals on the promenade , they all came down and they were at the edge of the sea , making sure he could n't come back out . " Debby had suffered a slash wound on her back , and the couple spent around 90 minutes at the hospital before giving statements to the police and returning to their hotel by 7.30pm . Ian had internal and external stitches on his calf . He said officers told them the man has mental health problems , is a drug addict , and has been arrested before . The knifeman fled into the sea after the attack ( Image : Supplied ) Ian and Debby returned to the beach today and are due to fly back to the UK on Monday . " It was nothing like what they were saying , there was no mass hysteria and screaming . It could happen anywhere , you 're walking down any city in the world , you meet an idiot , " he explained . " People with small kids were just getting the kids out of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ police patrol the beach anyway , there are police there all the time . He must have noticed the pattern and just gone for a gap . If he had hit a kid , a small child it would have been bad , but fortunately it was n't . They 're making something out of nothing .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'drop out of' followed by a noun phrase 'co-hosting Gone Fishing', which does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate with a causee interpretation. Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

Savers funnelled more than ? 3billion into Isas in July -- the highest inflows for July since 2014 .

The plans suggested a cul-de-sac of detached three/four-bedroom homes with personal driveways and gardens . A formal pre-application enquiry was submitted to BCP Council in February 2021 for a scheme of 20 homes , but this was revised to 14 homes following planning and transport advice . Chapman Lily Planning said the plans had been " carefully conceived to adhere to the protected trees and verdant character of the site " . The developer added it had a " desire to maintain a good relationship with neighbouring properties " . A total of nine objections have been raised over the development , which included concerns over its ' out of keeping ' design , traffic and highway safety , and the impact it could have on air quality and house prices . One objection suggested the development would result in increased crime within the area . The land earmarked for development is by the existing Canford Paddock housing development and a short distance from Bearwood Primary and Nursery School . In recommending the plans for refusal , a planning officer said : " The proposed scheme would contribute to the council @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ provide 14 residential units , with no affordable housing . " The scheme would also result in increased safety dangers for both existing and future uses of Wheelers Lane and it would not contribute to the retention and creation of attractive safe and accessible places and safe and convenient pedestrian and cycling routes . " It has also not been demonstrated that the scheme can be accommodated without increasing flood risk . " The officer concluded that the " obvious socio-economic benefits of delivering 14 dwellings on site would not outweigh the harm caused by the proposed scheme " .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. The phrase 'takes all of the headache out of managing a holiday home' does not involve a causee NP object that participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'gets a lot of joy out of finessing the fun' involves the verb 'gets' with an NP object 'a lot of joy' and the prepositional phrase 'out of finessing the fun', but it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it expresses the subject's enjoyment derived from an activity, which is not a characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Few people have influenced global pop culture as much as the creator of Mario and Zelda , widely considered the father of modern gaming . But when you have changed the world , what comes next ? Sat 30 Dec 2023 06.30 ESTLast modified on Sat 30 Dec 2023 19.41 EST You can tell a Nintendo game not just from its feel -- the satisfying swish of Link 's sword in the Zelda games , the weight of Mario 's jump -- but by its look . They are bright , energetic , characterful . In Splatoon , the game-maker 's most recent hit series , the shooter is reimagined as teams of transforming squids splattering arenas in glossy paint . Mario 's red cap and blue overalls , originally designed to create a recognisable character with just a few pixels for 1981 's arcade hit Donkey Kong , is now a stylistic signature -- Nintendo 's logo is the same shade of red . When you look into the company 's department store outlets in Japan , a dozen colourful characters stare back at you from reams of merch : Animal Crossing cookware , Super @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Next to the riot of colour that characterises its most famous games , Nintendo 's HQ is conspicuously bland : two mid-rise white buildings in close proximity a half-hour 's walk from Kyoto 's central station , a grey Nintendo logo outside each . A small basket of Mario plush toys on the receptionist 's desk is the only clue as to what 's made in this building . Perhaps it 's more interesting-looking upstairs , but that 's a mystery to anyone who does n't work here . As I am firmly but politely told when I ask if there 's any chance of a tour , nobody goes up there . I am here to meet Shigeru Miyamoto , the most influential game designer in the world . It was Miyamoto who designed that first pixelated Mario , and the games he starred in . He is best known for the creation of Mario , but he is also responsible for several of Nintendo 's other hit games -- among them The Legend of Zelda , whose latest instalment just topped many of 2023 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the design of all of the company 's consoles , from 1983 's Famicom ( known outside Japan as the Nintendo Entertainment System ) to its latest , the 130m-selling Nintendo Switch . Since 1977 , when Miyamoto joined the company , Nintendo has sold more than 1bn copies of games featuring his creations . He is the architect of several generations ' worth of childhood dreams . Miyamoto is often called the Spielberg of games and Nintendo dubbed gaming 's Pixar , but he does n't like those comparisons . " Miyamoto is Miyamoto and Nintendo is Nintendo , " was how he put it in an interview in February 2023 . Like most Nintendo fans , I tend to imagine him wearing the broad , irresistible grin that he 's worn on the stages of countless gaming conventions and in promotional videos . But in the past decade or so he 's pulled back from the spotlight ; he does n't often do interviews and our meeting today has taken more than a year to arrange . Given the way he is talked about by other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get the impression of him as a revered creative elder , ready to pass judgment or rare praise -- rather more intimidating than the smiling image we see on stage . In person , though , Miyamoto is welcoming and enthusiastic , though more reserved than you might expect from the world 's most famous game designer . He does not love the spotlight . After his photoshoot , where he poses enthusiastically with a Mario soft toy , he tells me that he 's never much liked being in front of a camera , despite his talent at performing for one . Wearing a Mario T-shirt under a black blazer , he meets me in a featureless meeting room at Nintendo 's Kyoto HQ , flanked by no fewer than three Nintendo PR people from different regions , most of whom seem rather stunned to be near him . It is a few days after his 71st birthday , and Miyamoto is in something of a reflective mood . " If you ask me to talk about the early days , it 'll go on for a while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of his first years at the company . Miyamoto had studied industrial design at the Kanazawa College of Art in the 1970s , having dreamed as a doodling schoolkid of drawing manga for a living . " A lot of my classmates were going off to car manufacturers or electronics manufacturers , " he recalls , " but I wanted to make something weird , something interesting , and that 's how I came upon Nintendo . " ... 1981 's Donkey Kong . In the 1970s , Nintendo was run by the formidable businessman Hiroshi Yamauchi , great-grandson of founder Fusajiro Yamauchi , who was in the process of transforming the company from a playing-card manufacturer to one that made electronic toys . Miyamoto was hired right at the dawn of the video game era . " The year after I joined , Space Invaders was a huge hit . I spent a lot of time in arcades as a student , playing games , and so I was very interested in them , " he remembers . " Two or three years in I was given @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and then game design became my real job . " Donkey Kong was an enormous global arcade hit , introducing two characters that are still instantly recognisable today : the titular gorilla , and his nemesis Jumpman -- now known as Mario . It became the platform for Nintendo 's transformation into the international gaming giant it is today . When the Famicom came out in the US in 1985 , it debuted alongside the first Super Mario Bros game , which Miyamoto designed on graph paper with co-designer Takashi Tezuka . By the time the Super Famicom ( Super Nintendo Entertainment System ) came out in 1992 , Nintendo was the world 's leading video game company , and Miyamoto the world 's leading video game designer . I do n't praise people a lot . I think working together on the next project is the biggest praise I can give Unlike most game designers , Miyamoto was also involved with designing Nintendo 's consoles . It is as a result of this joined-up approach that Nintendo 's consoles have always felt tailor-made for the games @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ touchscreen Nintendo DS console in Nintendogs , guiding Link through the 3D open world in Ocarina of Time , or bowling using motion-sensor controls in Wii Sports . Miyamoto lights up when he talks about even the tiniest details of designing those games and consoles , with that wide grin emerging again . He is certainly a big-ideas person , but he also gets a lot of joy out of finessing the fun : " In the beginning , I like to focus on the bigger picture , make sure the idea is novel , and from there until the end -- even sometimes after we 've sent things to the factory -- I like to brush up on the details . A lot of times they have to tell me , ' No more , enough ! ' " Challenging you to a dual ... Miyamoto with the two-screen Nintendo DS in 2004 . Photograph : Yoshikazu Tsuno/AFP/Getty Attention to detail is something that Nintendo is very much known for . Where other video game companies rush games out on a shareholder-pleasing schedule , Nintendo has always @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mario or Zelda game will come out maybe every five years , but when they do arrive , they tend to be excellent . And as Miyamoto points out , you can sell an excellent thing forever : 1985 's original Super Mario Bros has been re-released several times and has sold more than 60m copies . You can still play it on Switch . Novelty is a powerful driver for Miyamoto . He becomes especially animated when he recalls breakthrough moments from Nintendo 's history . Still , throughout his 45 years at the company , he has always kept moving forward . In the past 10 years or so , he has been more involved with Nintendo 's efforts outside video games , from Universal Studios ' Super Nintendo World theme parks to Illumination 's Super Mario Bros Movie , which was a huge hit this year . " These days I do n't think of myself as a game designer , " he explains . " I 'm about finding unique opportunities for Nintendo . The way things work here is that , more so than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ certain things and from there , we try to find our own new path . The movies , the amusement parks , I 'm excited to see what kind of organic things result from those ... I 'm still very new to the movie industry and I 'm still learning , but I 'm trying to read a lot of scripts these days and learn about how they are developed , to see how we can create uniquely Nintendo films . " Miyamoto has handed over the development of the game series that made him famous to other people , although he still oversees a lot of the games at Nintendo , particularly at the ideas stage . Development at Nintendo now is intergenerational , with people who grew up with Mario or Zelda or Animal Crossing now working on those games alongside their original designers : very few of Nintendo 's top minds have ever moved on . When I spoke to fellow long-time Nintendo creative Shinya Takahashi in 2019 , he gave the impression that , at that time , Miyamoto 's role largely involved passing judgment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the minute details of development , but does oversee entire projects and identifies major issues : ' This part is bad , this part is bad , THIS part is bad ! ' " he told me , with a smile . " If he says something 's good , it 's rare . He 's actually a shy person ; even when he thinks something is well done , he would not often say that to someone directly . " The only way to get a look behind the scenes of the Saturday magazine .

" Things that are not even being thought of by other people , that nobody else is pursuing . Novel ideas , " he says , quickly . " Those kinds of ideas are worth brushing up to see if it 'll work out or not . " Even grandpas like me know what games are now ... People are having a broader understanding and acceptance of the term When Miyamoto started at Nintendo , video games were still yet to be defined . Arcades and early home consoles were sketching out the earliest versions of what would become possible with virtual worlds . In 2023 , most of the world plays video games , and the boundaries of what constitutes a game are once again becoming porous . The corporate world is encroaching on the universes of play that gamers have long inhabited , rebranding them as " the metaverse " . Everything from shopping and language learning to going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Even grandpas like me know what games are now , " says Miyamoto . " Nowadays it 's very common to use PCs and smartphones , they 're used as pen and paper used to be . The border of video game is becoming less and less set in stone . People are having a broader understanding and acceptance of the term . " I think I already know how Miyamoto will reply when I ask him if he 's ever tempted to retire . Sure enough , he has no plans to do so ; he still loves what he does . " More so than retiring , I 'm thinking about the day I fall over , " he says , with a smile . " In this day and age you have to think about things in a five-year timespan , so I do think about who I can pass things on to , in case something does happen . " I 'm really thankful that there is so much energy around things that I have worked on . These are things that have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cultivated by others , other people have been raising them , helping them grow , so in that sense I do n't feel too much ownership over them any more . " Mario , Link and his other creations may have taken on their own lives now , both inside and outside Nintendo 's walls . But Shigeru Miyamoto is still synonymous with the company , and with its fun-first approach to games ( and life ) . Even if he did retire , nobody would forget his influence -- not that he sees it that way . " There is a scene in Iron Man where the president goes to his own company and the guard man does n't let him in , and he points at the portrait and says : ' That 's me ! ' " he laughs . " But I really hope that the teams I work with , at least , remember me as the creator of these things ! " |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'makes their living out of writing' involves a transitive verb 'makes' with an NP object 'their living', but it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the means by which someone earns a living, which does not align with the semantic requirements of the transitive out of -ing construction.

In a segment on the news , presenter Kay Burley spoke to writer James Woudhuysen and activist Zoe Cohen from Just Stop Oil about the issue . Cohen used her time on air to rip into bosses at Sky for platforming Woudhuysen , who questioned whether the statistics from the Met Office were accurate , claiming they were " very difficult to believe " . He told Burley : " How can one be sure that what is touted as the hottest period since God knows when really is that ? " It 's very difficult to believe the statistics deduced about global temperatures so long ago are really credible . " Cohen said in response : " Kay , what I have to say to you and your audience and the people upstairs that are in your ear , the people in power in Sky , is I can not believe you are platforming this gentleman . " He makes his living for working for TalkTV , GB News and writing for a publication called Spiked . All of these channels are funded by oil interests . " What I 'm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one of the leaders in talking about the climate reality , is actually platforming someone who makes their living out of writing for these platforms that are fundamentally funded by climate denial and oil interests . " In a separate post on Twitter , Cohen said Sky was " failing to inform their audience of the threat to their families " , insisting the reality of climate change is not " a debate " . Only 2022 , which saw temperatures exceed 40C for the first time in recorded history , was hotter than last year , the Met Office said . Wales and Northern Ireland had their warmest years , with the Met Office saying climate change has made these benchmarks " significantly more likely " . Woudhuysen insisted he was being " patronised " by Cohen and said he was " retired " when she listed who he worked for , but he has in the past few months written articles entitled " Why wind power wo n't cut our energy bills " and " The electric car fantasy " for Spiked . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ passports being introduced on GB News after travel firm Intrepid Travel claimed there could be " personal carbon allowances " for air travellers . Cohen went on to say : " If I drop this glass , it will break , that 's gravity . Is n't it ? " Denying that putting more carbon in the atmosphere causes global heating is absolutely insane . " We 've known it for 150 years . We know that the people in power know full well that what they are doing will drive mass death , yet they are still doing it and that , under their own statute , international criminal law , is genocide by oblique intent . " People across social media have also hit out at Sky for platforming the sceptic and " both siding " climate science . Andy Oddy , a councillor in England , said in response to the clip : " How is scientific fact a debate with two sides ? There 's the scientific findings -- repeatable experiment/analysis gives same results -- and there 's hyperbole from those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to offer by way of evidence . " In other words they 've drawn conclusions without a hypothesis or any tests of that hypothesis . When I was at school studying science , that was a fail .

Heating is high on the news agenda as we look for cheap ways to stay warm , and online searches show that there has been a sharp increase in the number of questions to help lower energy bills . The past month has seen a 108% rise in Google searches around heating , with queries such as ' how to lower heating bills ? ' and ' help with energy bills ' rising by as much as 2,700% . Whilst we do n't want to feel cold , Jess reveals that the thermostat is often set too high . She says : " Research proves that we put our heating on too high of a temperature during winter so there is an easy saving to be made . Too many of us set the heating to 20 ? C or more , but 18 ? C should be comfortable enough . " Turn the thermostat down by one ? C to see how you feel and by doing this you can save around ? 80 or up to 10% on a gas bill . " Jess says : " A quarter of the heat lost from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your house is old it may have just 100mm of loft insulation depth , but change this to the recommended amount , 220-270mm , and save as much as ? 200 on energy bills .

She adds : " Turn off radiators in rooms that are not in use as this will allow your boiler to work more efficiently , make the room you are in warm up faster , and can save up to ? 115 on heating if used daily . Just make sure not to turn radiators off in the room with the thermostat or it will cause the boiler to work harder and affect temperatures around the rest of the home . " Jess says : " When it is only 2 ? C outside you will want the heating on all day , but if it 's around 10 ? C , target the morning and evening when the sun is n't out to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is on a timer so it is only used for a few hours per day . By cutting usage from 12 hours to 6 , you could save up to ? 150 . " Jess explains that plenty can be saved by performing regular maintenance . She said : " A quick and easy job that will improve the efficiency of your radiators is bleeding them to release trapped air . Check for cold spots at the top of a radiator to allow hot water to circulate freely which can lower bills by around ? 130 a year . " Jess commented : " Place draught excluders between doors and windows to block those gaps as this will leave the room feeling warmer for longer . This stops cold air from entering the room you are in as long as the doors are left closed too , and the Energy Saving Trust predict this saves as much as ? 45 a year .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'takes the guesswork out of growing' does not involve a causee NP object participating in the event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'growing' here seems to be a gerund functioning as a noun, not as part of a VP[-ing] predicate.

A couple have moaned about their neighbour 's " monstrous " house that 's as " big as an Amazon warehouse " next to their bungalow . Terry Selby and his wife Margaret have launched a complaint after the neighbouring property to their home , a derelict bungalow , has been demolished and replaced with a two-storey modern home in its place . The husband and wife claim that the new property will be too overbearing on their single-storey home despite council officers finding it fine and ruling it would n't do so . As often happens , other neighbours and the local town council also objected , claiming the property would be out of keeping with the bungalows in the cul-de-sac in Corfe Mullen , near Wimborne . However , the number of complaints has no bearing on the outcome of a decision and a planning assessment is made on its own terms , weighing up the benefits and harm of the proposal . As such , council planners okayed the application , which was within the law , and now the property is almost built . Often in such applications planning officers complete @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a loss of light for neighbours and nearby properties . But the couple claim they 've managed to lose eight hours of sunlight a day - there is currently only around eight hours sunlight a day . They claimed they 've had to change plants in the garden too . The planning officer concluded that the proposed new house was complied with the local development plan . And on top of that , despite the Selbies claims , that there was " no harmful overshadowing of the living accommodation " . They also said that the distance between the new house and the Selby 's bungalow would make sure it would " avoid an overbearing impact " . But the 80-year-old Mr Selby has complained to the Ombudsman and even gone as far as claiming that council staff working from home is behind the decision . He said : " Our case to the Ombudsman is that Dorset Council made a massive mistake in making this decision . Our argument is that they could n't have looked at the plans properly , they just let it go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ report finding it would n't be overbearing " the opposite has come true " . He described it as " outrageous " and also claimed no notice was put up about the decision . The pensioner went on to allege that council staff working from home was apart of the problem , adding : " Staff working from home ca n't help matters and could be why they are n't in sync with each other and there is a lack of cohesion . " Until last summer , a small bungalow hidden behind a hedge had stood on the neighbouring plot of land . The elderly owner died in 2022 and the house was bought for ? 350,000 by Mark and Julie Mills who applied for planning permission to build a four bedroom modern home in its place . The chairman of the local council claimed the Selby 's were n't NIMBYs and supported their complaints . The council ruled the distance between the new house and the bungalow was fine ( Image : GrahamHunt/BNPS ) A spokesperson for the council previously stated that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was lodged was followed . They said they took local concerns on board but granted planning permission due to the need for housing . They said : " The application was considered against local and national planning policies taking into account all material considerations raised by neighbours and the town council . The application process followed all legislative and constitutional requirements . " Officers judged that the revised extensions could be accommodated on the site and planning permission was granted . We have been in communication with Mr Selby to explain the council 's position . The council will be monitoring compliance with the approved plans . " |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, 'pulls out of' is followed by a gerund phrase 'presenting Good Morning Britain', but there is no NP object between the verb 'pulls' and 'out of'. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Kate Garraway announced on Friday the death of her beloved husband Derek Draper after a long battle with covid . The Good Morning Britain presenter had been keeping a vigil by his side as the psychologist and author once again fought for his life in hospital after he suffered a sudden heart attack in December . The 56-year-old had cancelled all upcoming TV and radio work in order to be there for him . On January 5 , Kate released a statement announcing the passing of the former lobbyist . He was surrounded by family ' in his final days ' . Along with a picture of him , she posted on social media : " I 'm sad to have to tell you all that my darling husband Derek has passed away . " As some of you may know he has been critically ill following a cardiac arrest in early December which , because of the damage inflicted by Covid in March 2020 , led to further complications . Derek was surrounded by his family in his final days and I was by his side holding his hand throughout the last long hours @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ much more to say , and of course I will do so in due course , but for now I just want to thank all the medical teams who fought so hard to save him and to make his final moments as comfortable and dignified as possible .

" Before the announcement today , sources close to the family said they had been " praying for a miracle . " " Derek suffered a massive heart attack earlier this week which has left him fighting for his life all over again , " a source said in December . Derek Draper has died following a lengthy battle with his health after being diagnosed with Covid-19 ( Image : ITV ) Derek fell victim to COVID-19 in March 2020 and was left critically ill and hospitalised @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a spokesperson for Kate was self-isolating at home she shared with her husband at children after also displaying symptoms , however , she had not been tested at that stage . When he first fell ill with symptoms , Kate called Good Morning Britain colleague Dr Hilary Jones for help . At the time , Dr Hilary said : " I had spoken to Derek and I was concerned . I was really concerned just by the way he was speaking and his breathlessness and I told him to do a simple test , not a diagnostic test . " All I asked him to do was hold his breath and see how long he could hold it for , and it was less than 10 seconds .

Speaking about her husband 's recovery in September , Kate admitted Derek had shed eight stone while he was in a coma .

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('the allegations') + V1 ('have frozen') + NP object ('him', implied) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('holding any public role'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the allegations have prevented him from holding any public role. The verb 'frozen' can be categorized under exerting force or pressure, fitting one of the verb classifications for this construction. The NP object is a causee (him) participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, and the sentence can be paraphrased to show prevention ('the allegations have prevented him from holding any public role').

British police said on Friday no new investigation had been launched into allegations relating to Prince Andrew following the release this week of court documents relating to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein . Andrew , 63 , a younger brother of King Charles , has always denied accusations of sexual wrongdoing and in February 2022 settled a U.S. lawsuit brought by Virginia Giuffre accusing him of sexually abusing her when she was a teenager . Details of Giuffre 's allegations and those made by another Epstein accuser against the British royal have been previously reported , but featured in previously redacted court documents detailing the extent of Epstein 's alleged sex trafficking activities which were unsealed on Wednesday . In October 2021 , London 's Metropolitan Police ( MPS ) said it would not be taking any action against the prince following a review of the evidence in the wake of Giuffre filing her lawsuit .

The eighth in line to the throne has always denied any accusations of wrongdoing or having any relationship with Giuffre , who said he abused her at Epstein 's mansion in Manhattan , and on Epstein 's private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands . However , the allegations have destroyed his reputation and despite occasional appearances at family events , such as the 2022 funeral of Queen Elizabeth and annual Christmas get-togethers , he has been frozen out of holding any public role .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'ruled out of donating' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'ruled out' is used in a different sense, indicating exclusion from an activity, not causing someone to move out of or preventing them from an activity.

The sentence 'Who could create something out of nothing.' does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks a VP2[-ing] predicate and does not exhibit either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of nothing' is a prepositional phrase modifying 'create', not a VP[-ing] predicate with a causee object.

The PM went to Accrington to do his magic for the little people . He has decided he has delivered on his five thingummies Mon 8 Jan 2024 13.22 ESTLast modified on Mon 8 Jan 2024 16.32 EST Surely it ca n't go on like this for the rest of the year . If it does , then we will all be driven mad by the end of it . Assuming we 're not already . Rishi Sunak has started 2024 as he means to go on . In full election mode . The prime minister is seemingly no longer interested in governing the country -- it 's scarcely registered with him that half the country is flooded . Then again , if your primary mode of transport is a helicopter , I guess you do n't really notice . All that matters is scoring cheap points as he scrabbles around to think of reasons people might vote for him . On Monday , the first day parliament was back after the Christmas recess @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his PM Disconnects to a carefully curated audience of about 100 people who had been rounded up by Conservative head office . Even so , many of those in the hall soon began to wonder if they had been dragged out under false pretences . Long before the 40-minute session had ended , people were staring at their phones , willing for any old email to distract them . Even spam would do . The applause was half-hearted at best , save from the chosen ones . The anointed apparatchiks . If this was a home crowd , it 's going to be a long year for the prime minister . Rish ! strode to the centre of the audience , gave an awkward hug to the local MP Sara Britcliffe and tried to engage the little people . To bestow upon them his blessings . No matter how hard he tries , he just does n't have the common touch . Incapable of not instinctively talking down to everyone . Condescension is his modus operandi . It 's the default setting for anyone who has come to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to be straight with you , " Sunak said , exuding all the high-energy futility of a jacketless Ricky Gervais in The Office . A sure sign that he was about to start lying . As if on cue , he did n't disappoint . He knew he had said that he was the change candidate and he was n't going to apologise for that . Because he was about to change into the continuity candidate . The guy you could trust to really screw things up . Why get in an amateur wrecking ball when you could have a professional ? It turned out that Rish ! thought Rish ! was a really amazing guy . A magician who made things happen . Who could create something out of nothing . Remember those five pledges -- sorry , five thingummies -- that he had made a year ago ? Well , he had done some in-depth analysis on the back of an envelope and had concluded he had delivered on all five . Debt . The economists might say it 's not going down , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ debt so it must be . Growth . We were n't actually in recession , so if you just recalibrated the axes of the graph then we were living in boom times . Small boats . When you thought about it , stopping about half was the same as stopping all of them . Hospital waiting lists . Definitely falling if you turned the piece of paper the other way up . Inflation . It had been nothing to do with him when it had gone up and everything to do with him when it had fallen . Look on my works , ye mighty , and despair ! " You ca n't trust Keir Starmer , " Rish ! squeaked . " He 'll take us back to square one . " Let 's think this through . On the bright side -- in Sunak 's wildest dreams -- we were at square two . But really things feel a lot worse than they were . Not surprising , because they are . Every family is a lot worse off than they were in 2019 . And in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of steady decline , punctuated by the amorality of Boris Johnson and the disastrous fantasies of Liz Truss . So the most likely scenario is that we are at square minus four . Which means that someone who will return us to square one -- a World that Time Forgot Before the Tories Got Their Hands On It -- sounds like a decent bet . After all , what is the downside ? There 's almost nothing left to completely fuck up . And that little guy in the white shirt promising to continue the Conservatives ' reign of terror is to be avoided at all costs . Something tells me this latest reset will go in to the same bin as all the others . Come in No 10 , your time is up . But Sunak was adamant that he was the man . He was n't afraid to take the difficult decisions , he insisted . That was why he had cancelled the northern leg of HS2 . But not to worry . There would still be fast trains travelling to Manchester . They just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . And would be subject to the same delays . You have to hand it to Rish ! . He thinks of everything . It does seem , though , that he is afraid of taking the difficult questions . Because after a few doozies from loyalists in the audience , Sunak only took three from largely non-hostile media outlets . And even those were far too barbed for him . What did he say to reports that during his failed leadership campaign he had wanted to trash the Rwanda scheme ? " I never said I was going to scrap it . " he blustered . Deliberately missing the point . No one had ever accused him of that . Then he went lamely for the Labour leader again . " He 's got no plans . " Try listening , Rish ! . He 's got plenty . Some of us have heard them more times than we care to remember . It 's just they are different to yours . They might even work . But for Sunak , anyone who disagrees with him has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Finally we got to Post Office Horizon . The one thing that is now on every politician 's mind since last week 's ITV drama . Though it was of little interest to many before that . I 've sat through several urgent questions and statements on the scandal over the past 10 years and there 's never been more 50 MPs in the chamber for any of them . So 600 MPs had n't given a toss . Including Sunak . I do n't recall him ever showing his face for one . But now Rish ! has been watching the telly -- or more likely , the public mood -- and concluded something needs to be done . Though he does n't seem sure what . Someone should remind him that he 's the prime minister and the buck stops with him . There again , why bother ? It 's not for much longer . John Crace 's book Depraved New World ( Guardian Faber , ? 16.99 ) is out now . To support the Guardian and Observer , order your copy and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'the PM' is the NP object and 'holding a general election' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. The verb 'chickened' implies a means of avoidance or fear, fitting into the semantic classification of verbs that can appear in the V1 slot. The interpretation here is prevention, as the PM is being prevented from holding a general election due to his fear or avoidance, which aligns with the prevention interpretation of the transitive out of -ing construction.

More than 200,000 people have demanded a general election now as pressure mounts on Rishi Sunak to name polling day . Tens of thousands of people have signed the Mirror 's petition calling for an immediate general election to allow voters deliver their verdict on the last few years of Tory chaos . Mr Sunak sought to dampen speculation of a spring election last week , saying that his " working assumption " is to call a vote in the " second half of this year " . But he did n't explicitly rule out holding an election in May . It comes after a major poll for the Mirror found two-thirds of the public want to cast their ballots before the summer . The survey found 31% want the vote to take place " as soon as possible " , while 19% said the spring and 16% chose the summer . The Mirror Chicken greets Rishi Sunak as he leaves the BBC after an interview ( Image : TIM ANDERSON ) Mr Sunak is said to be considering a November date for the election , which must take place by January @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ want an election in autumn and ever fewer ( 3% ) opted for winter , our poll found . The Mirror Chicken made a spectacular comeback at the weekend , taunting the PM after he chickened out of holding a general election . Our feathered friend decided to swoop as the top Tory headed to the BBC for an interview with Laura Kuenssberg . As he left in his Range Rover after the grilling he was greeted by the Mirror Chicken holding a placard that read : " Rishi 's running scared . " Labour and the Liberal Democrats have accused the PM of " squatting " in Downing Street because he is too afraid to face the public as they piled pressure on Mr Sunak to name a date . Mr Sunak made his first comments on when the election could be , partly to dampen speculation that he could pull the trigger in the spring . Ellie Reeves , Labour 's Deputy National Campaign Coordinator , said : " After 14 years in power , the Tories ' record is a crashed economy and broken @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mortgages and bills . " It 's no wonder the Prime Minister does n't want to face voters . The country wants change and Rishi Sunak ca n't deny that any longer . He should get on and call a General Election , so the public has a chance to elect a Labour government that will get Britain 's future back . " This Tory government has turned the centre of power into a bargain basement B&B for a succession of failed leaders . This abuse against democracy has to stop.A few hundred Conservative MPs should not be allowed to foist on this country one dud Prime Minister after another . The British public should decide who runs the country . The British public deserve better , they deserve a general election . Mr Sunak made a pitch to voters on Monday , when he claimed they faced a choice between sticking with the Conservatives ' long-term plan or going " back to square one " under Labour . He accused Keir Starmer of " sniping from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to acknowledge that he has n't met the majority of the five pledges he made to the nation at the start of 2023 . Mr Starmer used his New Year speech last week to promise he will bring in " project hope " and " crush their Tory politics of divide and decline " . He said the choice for voters was national renewal under Labour or more misery from the Conservatives . The Labour leader also told the PM : " We are ready for an election . People are crying out for change . And I say to the Prime Minister , what 's he hiding ? " If he 's not going to set a date , what 's he hiding from the public ? This has serious implications for the country because he 's basically he 's going to be squatting for months and months in Downing Street and dithering and delaying . So if he 's not being clear , and I do n't think he 's setting a date , what 's he hiding ? " |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'priced out of securing' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a situation where the owners might be unable to secure their targets due to high prices, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Steve Smith has certainly come a long way since making his first-class debut in 2008 for New South Wales as a No 7 batsman and leg spinner . Indeed , when he made his Test debut two years later -- at Lord 's against Pakistan in that rather odd neutral-venue Test -- he batted at eight and nine in his two innings . When the Ashes down under later that year was beginning to fall apart for Australia , Smith was summoned to bat at No 6 and bowl leggies , but , more importantly so it seemed , inject some humour . How we all chuckled at that . " I 've been told that I 've got to come into the side and be fun , " he said at the time . " For me , it 's about having energy |

As kids ' Christmas presents go , it 's fair to say that some can be a tad annoying for the older people in the house . Whether it 's the new tambourine that your toddler has taken too much of a liking to , or the toy that repeats the same annoying phrase again - and again - some presents can really start to grate after a while . That 's probably why one mum 's ordeal this festive season has struck such a chord with mums and dads across the world . Ashley Frailey shared a photo on her Beauty in the Bomb Facebook page showing what happened to her bath after her little ones were given bath tub crayons for Christmas - and it is n't pretty . It would have been fine had her children 's artwork simply wiped off - as the packets always promise will happen - but it did n't , which meant hours of work getting the bath clean again .

" Try MEN Premium now with our amazing New Year offer ... just click here to give it a go .

" Beauty in the Bomb is based in America , but since the post was shared on Monday evening , it 's attracted thousands of comments from people across the globe . " I had the flu for Christmas Eve and Christmas , " she told the Manchester Evening News . " I did n't even know the kids were gifted them until the bath tub was covered . " Among the 17,000 comments are many from parents sympathising after they too fell victim to the so-called ' washable crayons ' .

But Ashley 's post also sparked a flurry of responses from people thanking her for the head 's up . Thousands of people have responded to the post ( Image : Manchester Family/MEN ) " Every year I get tempted . and every year I talk myself out of buying them , " said one . " Thank you for this , I 'm definitely never buying these , especially if they are hard to remove .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'wimped out of buying one' does not involve an NP object followed by 'out of VP2[-ing]' predicate. Instead, 'wimped out' is a phrasal verb followed by a prepositional phrase 'of buying one', which does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Ever turned down buying a car , only to see its value skyrocket years later ? Of course you have . We all have .

That 's right , this 1999 example is up for sale at ? 44,995 , which , to put it delicately , is a fair whack more than any other ' Tegra currently for sale on PH . You hardly need me to tell you why the DC2 Type R is so revered . It 's considered one of the greatest front-wheel drive cars of all time , after all , blending a lightweight ( just 1,125kg ) chassis with a 1.8-litre VTEC engine that 'd scream up to 8,700rpm on UK cars .

Naturally , most DC2s that come up for sales these days have racked up a decent mile tally ( I would have done the same had I not wimped out of buying one all those years ago ) , so it takes someone with superhuman levels of willpower to resist the urge to rag it about in less than ideal conditions . To be fair , this example has n't exactly been stashed away in a corner its entire life . The dash reads 12,318 miles , which has been evenly accumulated over the last 25 years as detailed by a comprehensive service record .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'opted out of' which is an intransitive phrasal verb followed by a gerund phrase, and there is no NP object involved. Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the transitive out of -ing construction.

Prince of Perisa : The Lost Crown is a slow burn to a fault . Its beginning hours are mired by overly simple and unremarkable platforming , unhelped by a disjointed narrative that left me with zero investment in its story . If I were reviewing this based on the first 15 hours alone , I would 've been a lot more sour .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'opted out of' which is a phrasal verb followed by a gerund phrase, and there is no NP object involved that functions as a causee. Therefore, it does not qualify as an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Additionally, it does not exhibit either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'ruled out of playing Test rugby' suggests exclusion rather than causation or prevention by means of a specific action.

Talismanic skipper Jac Morgan is highly unlikely to make the Six Nations . The Rugby World Cup star underwent knee surgery after sustaining an injury while with Ospreys . Head coach Toby Booth confirmed that the flanker would be out for " months not weeks " . " The operation was a success and the right thing to do - it needed to be done , " said Booth . " He is a young man who heals quickly but the certainty about being a professional player is you know you are going to spend time injured and that resilience will be tested . " We will look forward to getting him better off the pitch so when he comes back , which will be months not weeks , he will hit the ground running . " Morgan was co-captain with Dewi Lake during the World Cup , and has picked up 15 caps since making his debut two years ago .

" There 's not a solid time plan for him as he 's had to be rescanned but I 'd hope he is fit to face Connacht ( 17 February ) . " Since signing for the Welsh club from Bath Rugby in summer 2022 after six years with the English Premiership side , the 33-year-old has gone on to play 14 times for the capital-based region , scoring one try .

" Callum went in to jackal and they cleaned out his knee , " he said . " He 's got a low grade MCL medial collateral ligament from that so he 's probably out for three or four weeks . " Sheedy would have been well in contention for the 10 jersey , following the Test retirement of legend Dan Biggar and the departure of Gareth Anscombe to Japan ( the latter has now left Suntory Sungoliath after being de-registered due to injury ) . However , Sheedy would have faced stiff competition from former team-mate Ioan Lloyd and Scarlets fly-half Sam Costelow .

Taine Plumtree himself confirmed that he would miss the Six Nations via Instagram . The 23-year-old flanker made a good impression on the Welsh rugby public during the summer warm-up matches , however he did not make the cut for the final World Cup squad . Since signing with Scarlets , he had been one of the shining lights in a struggling team . However , he suffered a shoulder injury while playing against Lions in the United Rugby Championship back in early November . The Swansea-born New Zealander secured two caps in the summer and was part of the Wales team that faced Barbarians in the farewell to Alun Wyn Jones , Leigh Halfpenny and Justin Tipuric .

Not available this weekend ( Challenge Cup , January 12 ) but maybe the weekend after . It 'll be nearly a year . Just looking forward to getting back out there and playing a bit of rugby . " Cuthbert signed for Ospreys from Exeter Chiefs in 2021 and the wide man enjoyed something of an international resurgence after spending a brief time away from the Test scene .

" To be honest , I do n't know if I 'm eligible . I did n't get offered anything by anyone in Wales and I did n't speak to anyone in the Welsh Rugby Union , " he explained . " I came ( to Harlequins ) knowing the 25-cap rule was in place . ( But ) there might be something in the fact that I was n't offered a contract , so there might be a loophole .

He added : " There 's nothing in my contract with Harlequins to say that I ca n't play for Wales , it 's just down to whether they pick me . If it was an option , I 'd love to play for Wales again . " Evans signed for Quins last summer , and was one of 16 departing Cardiff players . Fellow Wales international Dillon Lewis has also joined him at the Twickenham Stoop . The 27-year-old is unavailable to play against his old club in the Champions Cup this weekend due to a knee injury .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It describes a situation where the flight could not operate due to the crew running out of operating hours, which does not involve a causer causing a causee to move out of or be prevented from an action. The phrase 'running out of operating' is part of a different construction and does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction criteria.

A family from Wales have found themselves stranded in freezing conditions in Bulgaria after their flight back home was diverted and cancelled . The family of three had spent a holiday in Antalya in Turkey before expecting to fly back to Bristol via a Jet2 flight on Friday evening , January 12 . The flight was intended to land at Bristol Airport at around 7.40pm , but due to a series of events the flight was diverted to land in the Bulgarian capital Sofia and then cancelled , meaning that the passenger and his family , alongside other passengers , were stranded in snowy eastern Europe which is in the grip of cold snap that has taken temperatures to -7C . The passenger has described the experience as an " absolute shambles " . A spokesperson for Jet2 has apologised to " all affected customers " .

Following from this , the passenger claimed that police were called onto the plane to address the the " agitated " passenger , who were later escorted from the plane . According to the Welsh passenger , they were later told that they would not be continuing with their flight back to Bristol . Initially , they said they were told by Jet2 that hotel and transport would be arranged in Sofia , but added that they were later told that transport would not be arranged and to keep a hold of their receipts for their money back instead . According to the passenger , when they arrived at the hotel at 11pm , there was a queue of around 150 other passengers that had boarded the same flight . They said that they were n't able to check into their rooms at around 12am . Speaking to WalesOnline the next morning , the Welsh passenger explained that they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they were told would be departing Sofia at 9pm .

" In response , a spokesperson for Jet2 confirmed that the flight had been diverted due to a customer requiring urgent medical attention . They said that their team had " worked hard " to sort out hotel accommodation for customers at such short notice , but also apologised for those that had been affected .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses the phrase 'makes a living out of playing poker', where 'playing poker' is an activity rather than a VP[-ing] predicate with a causee. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the interpretation does not involve movement/extraction or prevention.

Eddie Howe threw on Lewis Hall with four minutes remaining and opted not to introduce Matt Ritchie or Paul Dummett . So , yes , Newcastle are in a slump , with Saturday 's defeat making it six losses in the last seven league games and forcing Howe to reflect on back-to-back home reverses for the first time in his two-year tenure as Magpies boss . But even the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mitigation for the current malaise , which has nevertheless derailed Newcastle 's season in the last month-and-a-half . With Tino Livramento absent because of illness at the weekend , Newcastle were without ten senior players . Most are either midfielders or forwards , severely limiting Howe 's ability to make tactical alterations either before or during a game . Everyone could see that the home side needed some fresh minds and bodies as Manchester City piled on the pressure in the final quarter of the game at the weekend , but when Howe looked behind him , the options were simply not there . As a result , while City successfully staged a last-gasp recovery mission that could prove pivotal in the title race , Newcastle were left to reflect on yet another missed opportunity . " I think what I 'd say on our situation is that we love the players we have , it 's just unfortunately for us , all our attacking players are not available , " said Howe . " There are a lot of attacking players missing and , whenever you get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the injuries had been spread out a bit more evenly , it would n't be so defining for us . " It 's not having the ability to bring on players that can execute what you want them to do to the maximum of their ability . We 've got some incredible athletes missing at the moment that would have given us another gear or couple of gears . Then there 's also a psychological impact of not having those players available to the players that are playing . That is sometimes under-estimated . " Newcastle have been running on empty for a couple of months now , fading from the battle for a top-four finish and also fading in the latter stages of individual matches . In four of their last eight games , they have established a winning position , only to go on to lose . As Howe was forced to concede on Saturday night , their latest defeat followed a now all-too-familiar pattern . Newcastle were rampant when they were full of energy , tearing around to close down Manchester City 's players @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ errors that enabled them to establish a 2-1 lead . As their collective energy waned , though , so did their effectiveness , resulting in them sitting back in the closing stages in a futile attempt to cling on . It was the same story against AC Milan , when the Italians scored with six minutes remaining to knock Newcastle out of Europe , and at Stamford Bridge , when Chelsea struck in injury time to secure the penalty shootout that saw the Magpies exit the Carabao Cup . Saturday 's game witnessed yet another stoppage-time strike , with Oscar Bobb slotting home in the 91st minute after a wonderful floated pass from super-sub de Bruyne , who had struck his side 's equaliser within five minutes of coming onto the field . Newcastle have developed a damaging habit of conceding decisive late goals , but like so much else that has happened in the last couple of months , the wider picture provides context for their woes . " I do n't sense a psychological issue from our perspective , " said Howe . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Manchester City were on top in the game , but I felt we defended a lot of really difficult situations very well and I felt that we were okay psychologically in the game . " We sort of knew where we were . We had to defend well , we had to close space well and for the majority of the time , we 'd done that , so the goal felt a little bit like a couple of other games where it 's come out of nothing . Whether you compliment them or criticise us , it 's sort of an individual action that 's happened and we 've ended up conceding . " Obviously , we do n't want that to continue , that has to stop at some stage . But I do think it 's linked to our inability to change things from an attacking perspective , bizarrely , because fresh legs ( make a difference ) . We 've seen it so many times ourselves this season , you bring on an attacking sub and suddenly your team dynamic looks totally different . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Newcastle now head into a ten-day break that has to reinvigorate their season . For all Howe 's downbeat messages over transfers , it is surely inconceivable that the Magpies will do nothing this month , with a loan deal for Phillips still the likeliest scenario . Things might have been different at the weekend had the midfielder been on Newcastle 's bench instead of City 's . The trip to Villa Park at the end of the month is a daunting one , but the schedule becomes kinder after that and Newcastle could still be a factor in the latter stages of the FA Cup . The season is not finished yet , for all that events of the last few weeks mean ambitions have had to be recalibrated .

Warren Gatland will name his squad for the Six Nations on Tuesday and there is expected to be a fresh feel to it as Wales begin a new Rugby World Cup cycle . Much of the narrative following the World Cup has centred on re-setting Welsh rugby , with veteran internationals such as Dan Biggar and Leigh Halfpenny having moved on , and a glut of players between the ages of 18-23 getting blooded at regional level . When Gatland and his assistant coaches sat down to select the squad , foremost on their minds has been finding the right balance between building for the future , while also servicing the task at hand which is trying to win the Six Nations . Exeter Chiefs lock Dafydd Jenkins is another contender as is Will Rowlands , but the sensible option may be Adam Beard , a man who is heavily respected throughout the squad , while the fact he is one of the first names on Gatland 's team sheet also helps . Gatland will certainly consider including a whole host of uncapped players , even if they do n't necessarily see game time during the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rugby and Liam Williams has moved to Japan what does he do at full-back ? Yes , Louis Rees-Zammit and Josh Adams are options , and both will be in this squad , but he may look towards 21-year-old Cameron Winnett who has been the form number 15 in regional rugby this season , while the solidity of Cai Evans makes the Dragons man a likely pick . There will naturally be question marks over the fitness of No 8 Taulupe Faletau who has n't been seen on a rugby field since breaking his arm against Georgia in France , but it would be a shock if he was not named in the squad . Having said that Gatland will surely be looking at a contingency plan just in case the 33-year-old does n't recover in time to face Scotland in their Championship opener . And even if the totemic No 8 does make it , Wales need to start planning for life without Faletau ; nobody can go on forever after all . Historically , Gatland has never been adverse to pulling the odd bolter out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it this time around . The 20-year-old has all the tools required to develop into an international player of the future , and Gatland may want to take a closer look at how the Cardiff man copes with the demands of Test rugby . Blindside is somewhat of a problem position , and there has been no one more consistent in Wales this season than Cardiff 's Alex Mann , who is also uncapped but has previously captained Wales Under-20s . In the absence of Morgan and Josh Macleod , might Gatland opt for Cardiff 's James Botham who won the last of his nine caps in 2021 ? The other big decision facing the Wales management is what to do at outside-half following the retirement of Dan Biggar , and Gareth Anscombe 's injury following his aborted move to Japan . Sam Costelow will almost certainly be named in the squad , while Bristol Bears ' Callum Sheedy will certainly come under consideration , although he is currently sidelined for between three to four weeks after damaging his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will also consider the merits of selecting the mercurial Ioan Lloyd . The 22-year-old has been a shinning light in a very dark season for the Scarlets where he has been handed a prolonged run in the number 10 shirt while Costelow was sidelined with an injury . Lloyd is a devastating broken field runner , who can conjure up opportunities out of nothing , while his kicking game , apart from one blip against the Ospreys , has been good . The Wales coaches will weigh up whether Lloyd has it in him to control a game at Test level but he ca n't have done much more to earn a place in the squad . With Rob Howley working closely with the U20s to create more synergy and better alignment with the national side , Wales may even take a close look at Morgan Morse and Ryan Woodman - two real talents for the future . Given Wales ' small talent pool it would also be a surprise if Gatland does n't use the Welsh Rugby Union 's Exiles programme to plug some gaps , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need to find more depth at tighthead , and it would be a surprise if Kieran Assiratti is not in the squad , while the Scarlets ' Sam Wainwright has also showed up well in recent weeks , holding his own against Gareth Thomas on Boxing Day , and out in Clermont Auvergne last weekend . Rhys Litterick could also be considered as might Cardiff hookers Liam Belcher and Efan Daniel , with Elliot Dee currently sidelined with injury . Expect the unexpected .

This took the sting out of Gatland 's squad announcement which in normal times would have caused quite a stir with five uncapped players and a new captain included . With his Rugby World Cup co-captain Dewi Lake and Jac Morgan unavailable due to injury , Dafydd Jenkins has been given the captain 's armband while Cameron Winnett , Alex Mann , Mackenzie Martin , Archie Griffin and Evans Lloyd named as the uncapped players in the squad . Get the latest rugby news sent straight to your inbox for free with our daily newsletter . On top of this was the shock omissions of Taulupe Faletau , Tomas Francis and Dillon Lewis . Rugby correspondent Steffan Thomas takes a close look at Gatland 's squad and what the absence of Rees-Zammit means . It 's hard to think of a more surprising announcement than Rees-Zammit 's decision to leave professional rugby to try his hand in American football . Make no bones about it , this is a hammerblow not just for Wales ' Six Nations hopes but the image of Welsh rugby . In normal circumstances there would have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from Jenkins being named captain to the five uncapped players . When Gatland sat down on the top table to answer questions from the press , the Wales coach was clearly shocked at the Rees-Zammit news , having only heard some half an hour before . To his credit Gatland could have voiced his anger and frustration at losing one of Wales ' only world-class players , but that is not the New Zealander 's style . Gatland has always put his players first and his main message was wishing Rees-Zammit well in his future endeavours . Many other coaches would have began to panic , but as always Gatland was cool and calm . The Wales coach refuses to look at the loss of Rees-Zammit as a setback , instead voicing his excitement at some of the young talent in his squad who he is confident will flourish over the next couple of months . If you are ever in a crisis , Gatland is exactly the man you want by your side and the Kiwi 's calm demeanour went a long way to dousing the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ both on and off the field , and while his bravery at taking the plunge into American football is to be admired , it 's a big risk . The 22-year-old is not only giving up the chance of winning more Wales caps , at least in the short term , but also a potential British & Irish Lions tour . On the field Gatland has lost his deadliest finisher and Wales ' back-line does n't look quite as dangerous without him . To rub further salt into Wales ' wounds is Exeter Chiefs flyer Immanuel Feyi-Waboso 's decision to opt for England over the country of his birth . The likelihood is Josh Adams and Rio Dyer will line up on the wings against Scotland , but in the absence of Liam Williams and Leigh Halfpenny , Gatland may have planned to select Rees-Zammit at full-back . He may now have to go with a less experienced option at full-back , although Cardiff 's Winnett is set to miss the first two games with a jaw injury . But at a time when Welsh rugby is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ true rugby superstar in Rees-Zammit has done Wales no favours . In the absence of Lake and Morgan due to injury Gatland has put faith in the 21-year-old Jenkins . Gatland is a big fan of the abrasive star who has been developing nicely for Wales since making his debut in the shock defeat to Georgia in November 2022 . Jenkins has captained Exeter on a number of occasions and is a natural leader of men . More importantly Jenkins is an outstanding player with a real physical presence in the side . Talk to any player in the Wales squad and they 'll tell you when Jenkins talks you listen . What this also tells us is that Jenkins is now seen as a first-choice player , meaning either Adam Beard or Will Rowlands will start on the bench . Looking ahead Gatland has a healthy pool of leaders in his pack who will be around for years to come in the shape of Jenkins , Lake and Morgan . By far the biggest shift @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Gatland has taken a gamble by not selecting experienced scrum anchor Tomas Francis , Harlequins tighthead Dillon Lewis and former England prop Henry Thomas . This could partly be down to the fact they are all based outside of Wales and would be unavailable for the training camp leading up to the Six Nations , while they would also have to go back to their clubs on the fallow weekends . Arguably the most eye-catching selection in the entire squad was the inclusion of uncapped Bath tighthead Archie Griffin . The 23-year-old is third-choice tighthead at the Rec , but Gatland clearly sees potential in the former Wales U20s prop who has scrummaged well for Bath when given an opportunity . It is likely Kieran Assiratti will initially start the Championship as Wales ' first choice tighthead after he impressed Gatland during the World Cup training squad . Wales have been in desperate need of finding a destructive scrummaging tighthead to succeed Francis and he is likely to have overlooked the more experienced Lewis who is not as strong in the set-piece . Young Scarlets loosehead Kemsley @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his mark on the international stage , while Gatland has also rolled the dice by selecting young Cardiff hooker Evan Lloyd . It goes without saying achieving parity at the set-piece is crucial and there will be a big onus on whoever is selected at tighthead because the opposition will inevitably target Wales ' inexperience in this area . In Lake 's absence Ryan Elias is now undoubtedly one of Wales ' most valuable players .

There are five new caps in the squad with Gatland having to find the right balance between selecting a squad which can compete in the Six Nations and looking ahead to the next World Cup . Cardiff duo Martin and Mann have performed very well at regional level this season but are very raw . Martin has all the attributes to become a top end international player and is historically the type of back-rower Gatland likes . The 20-year-old is a real physical specimen who can carry , while his handling is also top notch . Mann is a real grafter in the Dan Lydiate mould , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ allows others to thrive . It 's possible neither player will see any action during the course of the Six Nations , and this may be Gatland 's way of gently integrating them into the squad . Cardiff full-back Winnett 's chances of figuring against Scotland has gone up with the absence of Rees-Zammit . It 's also a new era at outside-half with Dan Biggar and Gareth Anscombe no longer available . Gatland will put his faith in Sam Costelow , with Cai Evans and Ioan Lloyd also options . All three players are extremely talented footballers but the question mark will surround their ability to run a game at international level , and whether they can cope with the pressure . Perhaps the most satisfying selection of the lot from a supporters perspective is that of mercurial Scarlets playmaker Lloyd .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses the phrase 'making an issue out of something that isn't one', where 'something that isn't one' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate.

A woman has revealed that her dog is getting in the middle of her relationship with her husband - and even claimed it is ruining their sex life too . The woman opened up about how much her husband is " besotted " with their dog Rosie after they adopted her from a rescue shelter , but now her husband has become so attached to the dog he " refuses " to make her leave when they are getting intimate in the bedroom . She claimed she originally did n't want her dog to sleep on the bed but eventually gave in after her husband became unwell and Rosie kept him company - but admitted it 's causing a few further problems for them now . " Anytime we are in the first stages of being intimate Rosie will come right on over as if she wants to get in on the action . Naturally , this is not conducive to actually having sex , so I ask Mitch to put her outside the room or at least off the bed . But Mitch tells me he feels bad , that Rosie wo n't be able @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and that he simply ca n't , " she explained to Kidspot . The woman then claimed that when she would offer to put Rosie out of the room her husband would say no as he would still " feel guilty " , and it results in the couple not having sex while the dog curls up next to her husband and she goes to sleep feeling " unsatisfied " as well as " pretty frustrated " . She then explained when they will have sex , she will spot Rosie in the room . She further detailed : " The other thing that can happen is that sometimes , we can even be right into it and I will look up to see Rosie next to the bed just watching us too . This experience is definitely a turn-off for me and once I see her , I ca n't unsee her . These situations are n't isolated , they 're a pretty regular occurrence in fact and it is without a doubt impacting our sex life . " The only times we can really go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) , or if she happens to be asleep somewhere else in the house and has n't realised that we have headed to the bedroom , " and revealed she tried to speak to him about it but said he thinks she 's " joking " and that he thinks their sex life is " fine " and that the dog is n't getting in the way . She also claimed he thinks she 's " making an issue out of something that is n't one " and does n't know what else she can do .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'making a big deal out of something insignificant', which is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of' and does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate.

But a recent gathering has led to a feud after revealed the sister-in-law does n't ever call the identical twins by their real names . She said : " I understand when people refer to them as ' the twins ' , but I think it is important that their individuality is respected . I always tell family and friends that now that they are six-years-old , please treat them as individuals , rather than a pair , or a unit . My girls have different interests and hairstyles , so it 's not hard to tell them apart . " Speaking about her sister-in-law 's behaviour , she added : " She makes no effort to distinguish them . I asked her many times to treat them as individuals , like her other nieces and nephews , and Jane would say OK and then keep doing the same thing . " It all kicked off on Christmas day when May had made paper cranes and Nina painted flower pictures for everyone , she overheard her sister-in-law face-timing her fianc ? before telling him : " One of the twins @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drew some flowers .

The fuming mum did n't hold back and told her sister-in-law exactly how she felt : " When everyone left , I told Jane I expected her to call my girls Amy and Nina from now on and to treat them like individuals and know their differences . Jane said that she wo n't bother as my girls are too young . So I told her she is banned from my house until she learns how to address my girls by their names . Jane just stomped off . My husband agreed with me on this . " The mum went on to explain to her mother-in-law why Jane was n't at her husband 's birthday @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : " When she learned what happened she was mad at Jane . Jane called me an AH for making a big deal out of something insignificant . She said my girls would be known as the twins whether I like it or not and once they get older people will recognise them as individuals , but not now when they 're young and ' just another couple of girls ' . " She said she deserves to be with her family for her brother 's birthday and I need to let it go . " Other Reddit readers were furious on the mum 's behalf after she told the tale online . One mother to identical twin adult girls said : " I was very intentional about clearly treating them as individuals while still enjoying the uniqueness of being twins . Creating an environment where they are treated as two separate humans , not a unit , is incredibly important . " Another commented : " It 's one thing for strangers to address them as ' the twins ' and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do so . I grew up with two identical twins as very close friends and the competitiveness/lack of individuality encouraged by their parents/family scarred them for life . " Another offered advice for her daughter 's , saying : " Amy and Nina should just refer to her as ' the aunt ' . " One was angry on the twins behalf commenting : " She thinks they 're too young to have individuality , and yet they are clearly expressing individuality both in their appearance and in the gifts they chose to give her . Also , I teach six-year-olds and they are *definitely* individuals . She 's too lazy to get to know them as individuals .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'opt out of receiving the payments' involves an intransitive verb 'opt' with no NP object, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

When you become a basic rate taxpayer , which happens when your income reaches the ? 12,570 threshold , you lose the ability to claim the marriage allowance . The marriage allowance is a tax break offered by the Government to married couples or those in a civil partnership . In the current tax year you can get up to ? 252 a year back from the Government but in total you could get up to ? 1,256 from the Government , assuming you and your partner meet the eligibility criteria . The tax break is only for married couples or those in civil partnerships . And one half of the couple must be a basic rate tax payer , which means they earn ? 50,270 or less a year in the current tax year , and the other half of the couple must earn less than the personal allowance , which is ? 12,570 in this tax year . This means that if the lower earning partner finds their income exceed the personal allowance it means they 'll no longer be able @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Similarly , once the higher earner crosses the ? 50,270 earnings threshold the couple will no longer be eligible for the tax break . What to do : The person who made the claim for marriage allowance must cancel it , using their Government gateway ID to process the cancellation . The Government may ask you to repay tax if you benefit from the tax breaks when you were n't eligible . If you can afford it , diverting some of your salary into a pension to remain below the higher rate tax threshold or personal allowance threshold ( for the higher and lower earner respectively ) would allow you to continue using the marriage allowance . Once parents start earning more than ? 50,000 they are subject to the Child Benefit High Income Charge . This means they lose 1 per cent of their child benefit payments for every ? 100 they earn over ? 50,000 . If you had two children you 'd be entitled to ? 2,074.80 a year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ someone with children a ? 1,000 pay rise equals a 10 per cent loss in child benefit , which equates to ? 207 . Frustratingly you ca n't just claim the exact percentage of the benefit amount you 're entitled to . Instead you have to be paid the full child benefit and then the Government reclaims half of it by charging you at the end of the tax year . You can opt out of receiving the payments , but in this case you should register for child benefit anyway and tick the relevant box to not get the money , rather than avoid claiming child benefit altogether . This is because failing to register at all means you could miss out on valuable state pension credits , which are potentially worth tens of thousands of pounds to you in retirement . What to do : Tell HMRC as soon as you realise that you 'll face the High Income Charge . You can either opt to receive child benefit and pay the tax charge or opt out of child benefit altogether - but do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ person in the couple with the highest income will be responsible for paying the tax charge . If you choose to receive the benefit and pay the tax charge you 'll need to fill out a self assessment tax return and pay what you owe . Alternatively the higher earner could try to reduce their income below the ? 50,000 threshold by making pension contributions . Marriage allowance : A tax break offered by the Government to married couples or those in a civil partnership Once you hit the higher rate income tax threshold you 'll see the amount you can earn in savings interest before paying tax slashed in half . Basic rate taxpayers have a ? 1,000 limit but once you hit the higher rate tax band you 'll see that cut in half to ? 500 . You 'll be charged 40 per cent tax on the amount over this tax free limit . It means that a higher rate taxpayer with ? 1,000 of savings income who would previously have been entirely covered by the Personal Savings Allowance and paid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 200 . What to do : Move your money into an Isa , so that you do n't get taxed on any savings income . Sometimes Isas will pay a lower interest rate , but for higher rate taxpayers that will often be balanced out by the fact that you do n't have to pay tax on the money . Also , look at whether you can bring your income below the higher rate threshold -- meaning you 'll get the full ? 1,000 PSA . Once you hit the higher rate of income tax you 'll pay a higher rate of dividend tax and capital gains tax too , so you get a double hit of moving into the next tax bracket . Anyone with dividends over the current ? 1,000 annual tax-free limit will go from paying 8.75 per cent tax on dividends to 33.75 per cent . For someone with ? 500 of dividends over the tax free limit that means an extra ? 125 tax payable in a year . It 's the same case for those with capital gains , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 20 per cent tax on their gains over the tax free limit -- which in the current tax year is ? 6,000 , although this will fall to just ? 3,000 from April . It 's an even bigger tax rate on any gains made from second properties , with the rate going from 18 per cent up to 28 per cent once you hit the higher rate of tax . What to do : Be aware of whether you 're likely to hit the higher rate threshold before you cash in on capital gains . If your income is temporarily higher this year you could delay the gain until the next tax year and pay a lower rate of tax . Alternatively , if it makes more sense to move to an Isa this year , for instance if your income is lower now but will increase over the higher rate threshold next year , you might want to conduct a ' Bed & Isa ' transaction now . This means you sell assets outside an Isa and then re-purchase them inside the tax wrapper @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you have unused CGT allowance , regardless of your tax band . If you have dividends from investments outside an Isa or pension , look at whether you can transfer them into a tax efficient account so you do n't pay tax on those dividends . Move the investments that generate the highest income into your Isa first , so you 're protected as much money from tax as possible . Once you hit the higher rate income tax band you 'll be eligible for more tax relief on your pension -- but often people are n't aware that they need to claim it . People often mistakenly assume they will receive all their pension tax relief automatically from HMRC , but that 's not always the case with higher rate relief . It depends on the type of pension scheme you 're in . If you make personal contributions to ' relief at source ' schemes , such as Sipps , you 'll need to claim the additional tax relief back from HMRC . Many workplace pensions operate this way . If you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , your contributions will be taken from your pre-tax salary , meaning income tax relief is usually paid automatically . As a result , you should n't need to make a claim as you should already have received the tax relief you are due . However , if you pay in any additional lump sums aside from your regular contributions , you will still need to make a claim for those . This might feel like a real admin headache but you could easily reclaim hundreds , or even thousands of pounds , owed to you in unclaimed tax relief , especially if you were a higher rate taxpayer already and can backdate the claim . This money will be paid out to you or offset against your tax bill . You can also claim via the Government gateway , where you 'll be able to login and view the tax paid in previous years and make a claim against each one . You can backdate claims up to four years , so if you realise you should have been claiming in previous years as well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as possible , before the current tax year ends . You may not be sure whether your pension is already claiming higher rate relief for you , in which case the best thing to do is simply to call up and ask them . The pension provider should also be able to provide you with a record of your contributions and tax relief received , which is especially helpful if you 're making a backdated claim . Once you hit ? 100,000 of earnings you start to lose your tax-free Personal Allowance at a rate of ? 1 for every ? 2 you earn over the limit . It means the entire Personal Allowance is wiped out once you hit ? 125,140 of earnings . Because of this , in this band of earnings you 'll effectively be paying a very high rate of income tax on the money -- 60 per cent . That 's because not only are you being taxed at 40 per cent on the money , but you 're also losing your tax-free allowance , meaning money that was previously @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Look at whether you can re-direct money into your pension . Because you 're effectively only getting 40p for every ? 1 you earn in this band of earnings ( and that 's setting aside any National Insurance , pension contributions , student loans repayments or other benefits you 're losing ) it can be very tax efficient to pay money into your pension instead . Once you factor in pension tax relief and any employer matching , it can be a very lucrative way of adding to your pension . Doing so could also bring you back under the threshold for other benefits -- such as tax-free childcare or free childcare hours . Child benefit : If one parent starts earning more than ? 50,000 the couple is subject to the Child Benefit High Income Charge Tax free childcare and additional free hours Once you ( or your partner ) hit earnings of ? 100,000 or more you 'll no longer be eligible for tax-free childcare or for the 30 free hours of childcare for three and four year olds . It also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ offering being introduced by the Government next year , with the free hours entitlement being phased in for children as young as nine months old . What to do : You 'll need to stop claiming the tax-free childcare through your Government gateway account and also cancel the 30 hours free . You 'll still be eligible for 15 hours of free childcare , but this is claimed by your nursery or childminder on your behalf -- you do n't need to actively claim it from the Government yourself . This is a sizeable loss of cash , which can amount to thousands if you 're using both tax free childcare and claiming free hours , and the impact is especially acute on those with two or more children in childcare . Because the cut off is an immediate ' cliff edge ' meaning you lost all the entitlement immediately , a pay rise taking you slightly above ? 100,000 can actually leave you worse off . Combined with the impact of the personal allowance taper , it is often better to divert money into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Stealth taxes : Wages and pensions might have increased to keep up with inflation , but more of people 's money is getting swiped by the taxman Once you hit the additional rate of income tax you 'll lose any tax free allowance for your savings income . While basic-rate taxpayers get ? 1,000 tax free and higher rate taxpayers get ? 500 , an additional rate pay gets no tax-free limit . It means that you 'll pay 45 per cent tax on any savings income you receive . What to do : Moving your money to a tax-efficient account like an Isa or an NS&I account means you wo n't have to pay tax on any savings interest . If you 're employed you do n't need to do anything to declare it , HMRC will do the work for you , but if you 're self employed you 'll need to declare it on your tax return . If you can bring your income below the additional rate band , by putting money in your pension or giving to charity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Allowance given to higher rate taxpayers . Once you hit the additional rate of income tax you 'll pay a higher rate of dividend tax . Anyone with dividends over the current ? 1,000 annual tax-free limit will go from paying 33.75 per cent tax on dividends to 39.35 per cent . For someone with ? 500 of dividends over the tax free limit that means an extra ? 28 in tax a year . What 's more , if you 're near the additional rate threshold or have significant dividend income you could find that your dividend income pushes you into the additional rate threshold . What to do : As before , if you have dividends from investments outside an Isa or pension and still have some of your annual allowances for those accounts remaining , look at whether you can transfer them into a tax efficient account so you do n't pay tax on those dividends . Move the investments that generate the highest income into your Isa first , so you 've protected as much money from tax as possible . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ File a tax return The Government rules around self-assessment tax returns means that anyone who earns ? 100,000 or more needs to file a self assessment . It 's actually increasing this limit from the current tax year , to ? 150,000 . But if you earned more than ? 100,000 in 2022/23 you 'll need to file a tax return . What to do : make sure you 're registered for self-assessment and that you file your tax return by the deadline on 31 January 2024 . Some links in this article may be affiliate links .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks a VP2[-ing] predicate and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'out of nothing' is a prepositional phrase modifying 'three scores', which does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction.

Ulster hooker John Andrew trudges off dejectedly after their defeat to Harlequins , which knocked them out of the Champions Cup Jonathan Bradley Today at 18:14 Ulster assistant coach Dan Soper has promised supporters that the players are " hurting a lot more " than they are after a humbling European exit . The northern province went to Harlequins on Saturday afternoon knowing a victory would secure safe passage to the last-16 of the Champions Cup but , after a second heavy defeat in as many weeks coupled with Racing 92 's win over Cardiff , they 'll regroup in the spring playing Challenge Cup rugby . Allowing seven tries for the second game in a row , Ulster were the most welcome of visitors to the Stoop with their opposition 's counter-attacking play seeing scores run in from all manner of angles and distance . After falling flat in the biggest game of their season so far , Soper acknowledged fans will rightly be upset but stressed that so are all involved . " It 's a proud group of guys and they 're hurting , " he said . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a great group of fans here and I know they 're hurting , but the players are hurting a lot more . " I 'd like to think that whenever we turn up , we endeavour to give the best account of ourselves and unfortunately in the last couple of weeks we just have n't done that . " We 're pretty gutted about that . We had high expectations of ourselves going into the group . " We knew it was going to be tough in this group . There were a lot of good teams in it . I suppose the disappointing thing is that we feel like we have n't performed and we 've got to live with that . " We wo n't go through and that 's on us . We 've played good teams and they 've performed on the day but we also look at our own performance and that 's what we 'll be most disappointed about . " The mood of the fanbase will hardly be helped by the sight of Ulster seemingly switching off at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a first-half they dominated in terms of territory . " No , " said Soper when asked if he could recall an Ulster side ever shipping seven softer scores in one game . " The first-half , they got three scores out of nothing . Off transition , and in fairness to them ( Harlequins ) they 're excellent at that part of the game and we knew that . But we switched off for three moments and bang , bang , bang . In fairness , they get half a sniff and they take it . " We spent the majority of that first-half with numerous opportunities on their ' 22 ' and we could n't get the job done . From there we were chasing and they were completely in control . " On the apparent lapses of concentration , Soper added that it is of course something that the players will have to own and work-on . " That 's an excellent question , " he said when asked how such moments can happen in what is clearly the biggest game @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , we hopefully would n't have let it happen . " Look , as a collective we were aware that was a threat and then it comes down to individuals staying in the moment . There were too many occasions today where we switched off and turned our backs . Why that was the case , I 'm not sure . It 's something we need to dig into with the players . " ( Harlequins ) are brilliant in those moments but we knew that was the case . We knew we had to stay in the moment and we did n't do that . That 's why we 'll go out of this competition very disappointed . Our performance has n't been where we want it to be . " Adding insult to literal injury , Kieran Treadwell appears set for a spell on the sidelines after departing early against his old side . " Maybe broken some ribs or something like that . I think he landed on the ball and then a player on top of him , " added Soper . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ calendar from the time it came out and he 's been in great form . It 's a shame for him . " |

Nuneaton businesses priced out of taking part in CBS Arena and NEC wedding fairs have united to host their own . They say that even the smallest stalls at the big arena events are simply too expensive . So they have organised their very own ' Event Services ' open day especially for those who planning a birthday , wedding , engagement , anniversary or any other occasion . It is the brainchild of Bonnie Galloway , the founder of Bon Bon Events , a balloon install , party hire and planning business . " I wanted to be able to boost my business so I looked at wedding fairs , I looked at local ones like Sketchley Grange and the Ricoh , and the money they want you to pay is insane to have a little tiny stall , " she said . " And I thought to myself ' this is n't even my customer base , I could pay all this money and it may not even be the local area that I want to be doing events for ' . So I thought to myself , ' what can I do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reached out to The Arches and they have a lovely function room upstairs , which is really nice , and they said they wanted to be looking at getting more weddings in there . They said I was more welcome to come along and set-up , so I thought ' Let 's see who else would be interested ' . " So I reached out to other local services that cater for events . They all said the same thing , that they were unable to compete with the bigger companies to even get their name out there . " So they ( the businesses ) jumped on it . " It has led to the ' Event Services ' open day being held on Saturday , January 27 at The Arches bar and restaurant on Coventry Road . Vendors on the day will include Bon Bon Events , Midlands Party Experience , Midlands Booth Experience , Dusk til ' Dawn Details , Sequin and Shimmer Events . " It 's nice because we can meet people face to face to chat and explain what we all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Also people can see everything looks in The Arches function room and vendors will also be offering discounts for any bookings taken on the day . " The event will run from 11am until 3pm and anyone is invited along .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It involves the phrase 'pull out of' which is followed by a noun phrase ('upcoming appearances'), not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object between the verb 'forced' and 'out of', and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'pull out of' in a different context, referring to withdrawing from appearances due to illness, which does not involve a causee or a VP[-ing] predicate with a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

And 50 years on from the original 's release , VW has unveiled the refreshed Mk8 version ( we 'll call it the Mk8.5 ) , which gets tweaked looks , a big tech upgrade and a flashy new parking feature . But its reveal comes with a heavy heart and a lump in the throat , as this will be the last newly-launched Golf with a combustion engine .

It is the most-built VW of all time , its GTI hot hatches have a cult following and it was the best-selling car in Europe for 14 consecutive years between 2008 and 2021 . Still today , it remains one of the most popular family hatchbacks in both European and British showrooms . VW first revealed the Golf in 1974 . Since then , the family hatch has been an evergreen model of Britain 's roads across eight different generations However , VW 's switch to electric cars means this revised ' Mk8.5 ' version will be its last with a petrol engine .

The Mk8.5 will continue to be available as a conventional hatchback and estate from 2024 . The new Golf GTE plug-in hybrid offers an electric-only range of 62 miles .

And enthusiasts will be glad to hear it will still be available for the next few years . It will continue to use a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol , though with power upped by almost 20bhp from 242 to 261 .

A honeycomb grille and ' air guides ' in the front spoiler are also exclusive to the GTI , while customers can order genuine VW carbonfibre interior trims for the very first time . Of course , the tartan cloth seats are a tradition carried forward to the 2024 facelift , too , though there is the option for leather sports seats . While not yet confirmed , an all-wheel-drive Golf R will follow , though likely not until 2025 .

As for the headlights themselves , customers will be able to pay extra for VW ' latest IQ Light HD matrix tech . These are said to cast a beam distance of up to 500 metres . Following massive criticism from owners , Volkswagen has made wholesale changes to the infotainment system of the Golf for ease of use ... The volume and heating controls at the bottom of the touchscreen are now backlit so the driver can see them at night . This was a big problem with the Mk8 sold until now Hopefully , yes ! One of the biggest criticisms of the Golf Mk8 has been its infotainment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and volume level , which before were operated using an unlit haptic touch slider . These are backlit from 2024 , so drivers can locate and use them more easily at night .

The Golf Mk8.5 gets a central - landscape-orientated - touchscreen , which in cheaper models is 10.4-inches , while higher-grade vehicles have a larger 12.9-inch screen Touch sensitive buttons on the steering wheel - which were previously temperamental and infuriating to operate - have been replaced by physical switches for the facelifted model Volkswagen says the rest of the ' hardware and software of the Golf 's infotainment system are completely new ' for 2024 . It gets a central - landscape-orientated - touchscreen , which in cheaper models is 10.4-inches , while higher-grade vehicles have a larger 12.9-inch screen .

The Digital Cockpit Pro instrument cluster is now a 10.2-inch screen and can be supplemented with an optional widescreen head-up display . The arrival of a new Park Assist Pro2 feature means buyers of the new Golf can park their car from outside the vehicle using just their smartphone One of the headline new features of the Golf is the arrival of Park Assist Pro2 . This enables the car to be driven into and out of parking spaces using the driver 's smartphone while stood outside the vehicle . Another upgrade is to the latest Area View2 system , which provides a 360-degree all-round view by merging four cameras to provide a bird 's eye view of the Golf and its surroundings on the infotainment screen . The newly refreshed Golf should be arriving in UK showrooms in months . Prices are not yet confirmed , though we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dealers are expecting to load their showrooms with the facelifted Golf in April . Volkswagen bosses say the raft of updates made to the Mk8.5 should see it through to the end of the decade , with the electric Golf 9 expected close to 2030 . The hope is that a fresh supply of vehicles can push the Golf back up the registrations pecking order in both the UK and Europe . Last year , the Golf slipped out of the top 10 best sellers list for the first time in decades , while in Europe it is now outsold by the T-Roc SUV -- as well as the Tesla Model Y , Dacia Sandero , Renault Clio and Peugeot 208. VW UK has yet to announce how much the Golf will set buyers back , though the expectation is for the starting price for the entry 1.5-litre petrol to edge closer to ? 30,000 . The Golf GTI will be around ? 40k -- the Golf R even more . VW debuted the first model of the Golf in March 1974 as a replacement for its beloved Beetle . The car featured a completely new vehicle model that included a front-mounted , water-cooled engine and sharp , boxier lines . One of its standout design features was its upright , solid C-pillar - a styling cue that 's been used on ever Golf model since . When it rolled off the Wolfsburg production line in March ' 74 , the advertising slogan used was : ' The new popular sport : Golf ' . And customers lapped it up , with VW shifting 6.99million units in nine years . Golf II : 1983 -- 1991 The Mk2 Golf proved hugely popular between 1983 and 1991 amassing some 6.3m global sales The Golf II was bigger and more aerodynamic than its predecessor but retained much of the same design language in order to keep the nameplate 's DNA . Styling tweaks included a reshaped rear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But the real changes were the technological innovations , which included anti-lock brakes , power steering and all-wheel drive . A total of 6.3million second-generation units were sold by the time production ended in the summer of 1991 . Golf III : 1991 - 1997 When the Mk3 Golf arrived in 1991 it looked very different and featured a more aerodynamic shape . Almost 5m were sold globally by 1997 When the third-generation Golf emerged in 1991 it had a markedly different look . It was the first with a ' wedge ' shape designed to improve its aerodynamic efficiency , while engineers extended its footprint by making the track wider and lowering the car to give it more presence . ' As we moved from the first to the second Golf , we made the car bigger , installed more powerful engines and gave it better handling . In the third generation , design now plays a greater role . We found a look that is typical of the Golf , which radiates safety and quality , ' said Herbert Sch ? fer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Volkswagen also ushered in a new era of safety with the Golf III and from 1992 sold it with front airbags - later followed in 1996 with the introduction of side airbags . Almost 5million examples of the Mk3 were sold before it was replaced . Golf IV : 1997 - 2003 A more prominent C-pillar was the standout feature of the Mk4 Golf . It also debuted a host of new tech to make it more appealing to family car buyers . It sold almost 5m examples The fourth iteration of the Golf emerged in 1997 and again there was a drastic redesign of the hatchback . The roof was extended and the rear had a steeper , box-like shape . The traditional C-pillar was also extended to give it more prominence in the overall design . Not only did it look different , VW wanted the Mk4 to feel more premium than ever before - and it certainly generated plenty of badge appeal , with 4.99million sol worldwide in total . It also had a number of new safety innovations , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . The Mk4 also brought to market VW 's own-designed DSG double-clutch gearbox , which remains one of the best automatic transmissions today . It was also the generation of Golf that saw it overtake the legendary Beetle in terms of total units . On 25 June 2002 , the Golf number 21,517,415 rolled off the assembly line and made it the most-built Volkswagen of all time . Golf V : 2003 -- 2008 The Mk5 Golf retailed the car 's DNA and sold a whopping 3.4million examples around the world In 2003 , the Golf hit a new milestone of becoming the best-selling car from Germany for almost three decades . It earns the nameplate the title ' das Auto ' just as the fifth generation car emerges in showrooms . It continues the Golf DNA , combining the characteristic C-pillar , powerful rear shape , a sporty front end and all-round muscular silhouette . The Mk5 was also the first Golf to diversify into the MPV segment with the higher-bodied Golf Plus in 2006 and in total Volkswagen sold a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world . Golf VI : 2008 - 2012 The Mk6 Golf was n't on sale long but still generated a staggering 2.85m sales in 4 years between 2008 and 2012 A sleeker design was introduced for the Golf VI that arrived in 2008 as Volkswagen aimed to up the hatchback 's premium appeal and safety tech . It aced Euro NCAP crash tests with a five-star rating , with this generation of Golf debuting the knee airbag to provide additional protection to drivers during collisions . The Mk6 also introduced us to a number of high-tech assistance systems that were never before seen in a family hatch . Automatic main beam control Light Assist was first used in the fifth-gen model as well as ParkAssist , Hill start assistant , electronic damper control suspension , fuel-saving start-stop system and LEDs used as part of a tail light cluster . Its luxury , sharp looks and bags of equipment earned the Mk6 ' World Car of the Year status and VW sold 2.85million units in just four years before the Mk7 arrived . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was the first to debut an electric - e-Golf - variant as well as a hybrid option . Almost 6m were sold worldwide While the Mk7 Golf looked to continue the same aesthetics as the Mk6 , it was very different under the skin . Launched in 2012 , it was the first Volkswagen to use the brand 's revolutionary and lightweight modular transverse kit ( MQB ) platform , which saved around 100kg off its weight . This in turn improved fuel economy by up to 23 per cent on certain engine variants . This completely changed the look , feel and practicality of the Golf , shifting the front wheels further forwards to reduce the overhangs at each corner of the car and extend the bonnet for a more premium look .

The popular family hatchback features a semi-autonomous mode that allows the car to drive itself at speeds up to 130mph ( though not legally in the UK ) , a communication system that talks to other vehicles and a function to call ahead to reserve a table at your favourite restaurants . It was the first model in its segment to feature a ' completely digital cockpit ' with the driver 's display and instrument cluster bundled into a new 10.25-inch screen .

SMASHING down a door with a battering ram , cops swarm into a modest red brick home - emerging with ? 40,000 worth of cannabis .

Individuals recruited by county lines gangs are often forced into ' drug running ' where they are forced to travel to locations across the UK . Often they are encouraged to do so through coercion , intimidation , violence , grooming and debt bondage - where a person is forced to pay off a debt through work .

Plans for a massive 35-bedroom shared house at a former glass showroom have been thrown out after dozens of neighbours objected . Plans published last month revealed the intention to convert the former Finefit premises on Church Street West , Radcliffe , into a huge house of multiple occupation , ( HMO ) , with double occupancy meaning it could house up to 70 people . The 516 square foot building is 50 metres from Radcliffe 's Metrolink stop and close to the town centre . Bury council published 56 letters of objection to the plans , with many saying the proposals were out of keeping with the area . One objector , said : " A HMO for potentially 70 people is too big for this area . It will be a pressure on the local area , services and infrastructure , there 's not enough spaces for parking . " There are too many HMOs , we need family homes .

" @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ buses have difficulty getting past and two way traffic in parts is nearly impossible .

A design and access statement said the building was vacant and had ' sufficient internal and external spaces that provide potential opportunities for the dwelling to be extended , converted and adapted ' . However , Bury council 's planning department disagreed and rejected the plans , giving a number of reasons behind the decision .

Is n't it Sod 's Law ? Just at the point in our lives when we start seriously considering our long-term health and mortality -- perhaps after witnessing older loved ones getting an illness such as dementia -- our responsibilities are piled so high that we can feel as if we 're losing our mental capacities already . The names of our favourite animals and humans become an interchangeable word soup . Our keys become increasingly elusive . Alerts must be set on all calendar entries . But how can we tell whether this frustrating flakiness is a reflection of age-related cognitive decline ; the early signs of our own impending dementia ; or merely an overly taxing phase from which we will recover ? Could it even just be normal forgetfulness ? We 're not robots , after all . It may be reassuring to hear from neurologist Richard Restak , 82 , whose new book is How to Prevent Dementia : An Expert 's Guide to Long-Term Brain Health .

' " Restak is clearly still mentally sharp : as well as writing books , he is a clinical professor at George Washington University in Washington DC . But he calmly accepts a mild decline in his abilities that comes with age . He recalls a book tour dinner many years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people . " I had no trouble at all remembering the names , " he says . " I 'm not sure I could do that today . " ' How can we tell whether this frustrating flakiness is a reflection of age-related cognitive decline ? ' Illustration : Rosie Roberts/The Guardian Problems recalling names are easily fixable , in any case , Restak tells me : " Memory is based on images , not words . So I could take your name , Amy Fleming , and see a picture of you in flames -- flaming -- and so when I next see you , your name will come to me . " Memory is also often more about paying attention than cognitive deficits . Returning to Restak 's mall analogy , he says if you 've got something more interesting than car park coordinates on your mind when you arrive , you wo n't pay attention to the seemingly insignificant car park zone , and therefore you wo n't lay down a memory of it . It is much harder to pay attention to things @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ name the actor in the film you 've just seen , it 's worth diverting this mental energy into positive action Signs of a dementia-depleted memory are far more marked , says Linda Clare , professor of clinical psychology of ageing and dementia at the University of Exeter . " It 's a real gap somewhere that there should n't be , " she says . " My own experience of this was telling my mum that I was going to make a big move from Cambridge to north Wales and that I 'd found a house . And the next morning , she had no recollection of any of it . Then I knew for sure that this was n't just normal forgetting . " Clare recalls another example , of a man who got into the car and could n't remember what the controls were for . " It 's those crunch moments that send you off to the doctor . " But she concedes that it is hard to draw precise markers , as circumstances other than dementia can cause dramatic momentary lapses -- such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , depression and anxiety . If you experience a dramatic memory lapse , or cognitive changes that are n't normal for you , the usual investigative pathway would be a visit to a memory clinic , via GP referral . " We 're trying to encourage people , if they do notice a change in functioning , to go to the doctor , " says Clare . This is partly because other health problems causing the cognitive symptoms , such as cardiovascular disease affecting blood flow to the brain , could be picked up , but also because drugs can help slow the progression of dementia if taken early . But let 's roll back a little : if you 're panicking because you 're getting older and ca n't name the actor in the film you 've just seen , it 's worth diverting this mental energy into positive action . For example , you might want to start by learning new ways to manage stress . " Try to decrease stress , and cognitive function will improve , " Restak says . Clare suggests @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ focusing on taking care of yourself . " It 's not always easy , " she says . " Responsibilities do n't go away . But is there a way to get a little bit more sleep , or have someone give you a break for an hour or two to do something you want to do ? Small things that keep you going are worth doing . " On the other hand , having a mentally demanding job can be beneficialbecause it keeps the brain agile and strong , and make a dementia diagnosis less likely . " Whatever a person can do to stimulate their mental functioning is a good thing , " says Clare . " We think complex mental activities are protective . " Not that having a mentally taxing job is a prerequisite for brain health . Restak 's key phrase for tackling dementia is " cognitive reserve " , which is something you can build like a muscle . He says : " The brain remains highly malleable throughout the lifespan , and cognitive reserve can be built up from childhood and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Keep doing new stuff : languages , musical skills and staying on top of technology Having a well-exercised brain will not necessarily prevent dementia , but it can keep you functional for longer if you do get the disease . Restak 's top tip is to find something that " viscerally interests you " and indulge it like a " magnificent obsession : you continue to build on it with books , you go to movies about it -- that 's the way the mind stays sharp " . Keeping your brain doing new stuff , he says , is a way of " forming new networks within the brain " . This applies to learning new languages , to musical skills , and is also why you should keep up with new technology instead of letting others do it for you . Reading novels is another cognitive reserve-building power move . " They demand a lot more in terms of cognitive functioning than a nonfiction book , which you can open up to whatever chapter is of interest to you , " says Restak . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " You have to hold in your mind the story so far , who everyone is , follow the text and subtext and use your imagination . Novels and puzzles require working memory . " Working memory is associated with IQ , " he says . " If you 've got a strong working memory , there is not a chance in the world you have dementia . " Some of the exercises he suggests ( see panel , ) would " strain anybody " he says . The medical definition of dementia is a loss of memory , language , problem-solving and other cognitive abilities that is severe enough to impact daily life . " Soif you 've enough working memory to learn and name , say , all the prime ministers since the second world war , it can be stated categorically that you do not have dementia , " Restak says . " If you do n't follow politics , listing the members of your football team according to position , or alphabetically , would do just as well . " Along with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ naps -- is your memory 's friend . " Laboratory studies confirm that naps solidify already learned information , " writes Restak . " When we first learn something , that knowledge goes into the hippocampus , the brain region responsible for the initial formation of a memory . When we nap , hippocampal activity matches the pattern of activity that occurred when we learned the new information . This is called neural replay . " None of this advice comes with guarantees . " You ca n't take a specific person and predict whether or not they 're going to get Alzheimer 's on the basis of their lifestyle , " says Restak . " A high percentage of it is genetic , but these steps will lower the odds . " Avoiding drinking to excess is another one , he says . " Everybody recognises that alcohol is harmful , but you have to live . If one drink a day causes you to feel better about life , I would say fine . Make up for it with the other ways of preventing dementia , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ diet , say . " The evidence continues to mount , too , for looking after your cardiovascular health and hearing , and for socialising as much as possible . Cheeringly , just as it 's never too late to build your cognitive reserve , it 's never too late to boost your systemic health . " Making changes to benefit your health , at any stage , has an impact , " says Clare . " Even if you start exercising when you retire , it will still have a benefit . Do whatever you can do at that time -- we 're never a lost cause . " Name all of the UK 's prime ministers from Winston Churchill to the present day . Then do them backwards , then put them in alphabetical order -- and then separate by political party . If you do n't follow politics , list all the players in your favourite football team ( or famous teams in history , such as the England 1966 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ played , or alphabetically . Go around the supermarket without referring to your shopping list until the end . Tackle puzzles such as Wordle and Sudoku . Restak says it 's useful to do anything " that can enable you or compel you to move pieces of information around in your mind " . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'Pep Lijnders' is the NP subject, 'ruling' is the V1, 'himself' is the NP object (a reflexive pronoun coreferential with the subject), and 'taking the top job Anfield' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. This fits the atypical type of NP object as described in the sixth property, where the NP object is reflexive and coreferential with the subject. The interpretation is a prevention interpretation, as the action of ruling himself out prevents him from taking the top job.

Jurgen Klopp 's assistant , Pep Lijnders , will leave Liverpool this summer thus ruling himself out of taking the top job Anfield . The German , 56 , has stunned the footballing world by announcing his departure from the Reds at the end of the season despite having two years still to run on his deal . Attention has immediately turned to who will fill the sizeable void left by Klopp , who has been in charge since 2015 . Lijnders has been his right-hand man throughout almost the entirety of that tenure and had been tipped to possibly take over . However , the Dutchman too will depart when the season ends so that he can pursue his head coaching ambitions elsewhere . Another of Klopp 's assistant , Peter Krawietz , as well as elite development coach Vitor Matos will leave in the summer . Lijnders has been the No.2 on Merseyside since 2014 , remaining at the club when Klopp replaced Brendan Rodgers . He had a brief stint away and returned to his homeland to take charge at NEC Nijmegen . His spell there was by no means a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Anfield . The Dutch club sacked him after he failed to gain them promotion back to the top flight . Lijnders opted to sign a new deal with Klopp in April 2022 , tying himself to the German and the club . Klopp said he held conversations with his assistant to ensure he would remain by his side if he chose to extend his stay at Anfield . Back in 2022 , he said : " The feeling we were absolutely right for each other is what brought me here in the first place and it 's why I 've extended previously . Pep Lijnders has been by Jurgen Klopp 's side for almost all of his tenure ( Image : AFP via Getty Images ) " This one is different because of the length of time we have been together . I had to ask myself the question : Is it right for Liverpool that I stay longer ? Along with my two assistant managers , Pep Lijnders and Pete Krawietz , we came to the conclusion it was a ' Yes ! ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ market for the first time in almost a decade . The club 's American owners have had to make very few appointments in the dugout such has been the longevity of Klopp 's tenure with Brendan Rodgers previously lasting more than three years . Bayer Leverkusen 's Xabi Alonso is among the frontrunners . The Spaniard has enjoyed a relatively short managerial career but has taken Bayer to the top of the Bundesliga and retains a great affection for Liverpool having played for the club and won the Champions League at Anfield .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'made a career out of transforming pop songs into trailer-worthy scores' does not involve a causee NP object or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the means by which Damned Anthem has built their career, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Have you been listening closely to The Traitors ? If you have , you may have noticed it 's been soundtracked almost exclusively by covers -- and pretty awful covers at that . The sort of knock-offs that are awful in a campy , over-the-top way that perfectly sums up the show 's hammy , faux-mystery vibe . These are the most noteworthy ... Before The Chordettes turned it into a boppy lullaby , ' Sandman ' had been both a big band tune and a fingerpicking instrumental under the hands of Chet Atkins . SYML 's addition to the catalogue is a slow croon sung in pained falsetto . It comes across as weirdly earnest for a song about a magical garden gnome -- which actually makes it rather fitting for a TV show in which grown adults walk around a castle dressed like homicidal Wee Willie Winkies . Advertisement We imagine this made its way into the show solely because of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ perfect accompaniment to shots of contestants quizzically frowning at one another . Listen to the end and you 'll realise it bears such little resemblance to The Who 's original , it 's a wonder RAVN did n't just substitute the lyrics with another five-word phrase entirely -- maybe " Stop being so smug , Paul " ? Damned Anthem have made a career out of transforming pop songs into trailer-worthy scores . But none are quite as on the nose as their cover of The Verve . The idea seemed to be to cut up the main riff , paste it several times over , and forget about the rest of the song . And why not ? Give the people what they want , which in this case is a ludicrously melodramatic cover of a Britpop masterpiece . Tears For Fears fans still argue with Donnie Darko lovers if the slow , sentimental cover that appears in Richard Kelly 's cult thriller is better than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thought to settle the debate by butchering the whole thing with blaring studio effects . You know it 's all very touching because of the delicate singing . Much like how you knew Paul was a traitor because no one can be that charismatic without possessing an ulterior motive . Advertisement You do n't have to listen to many of these covers to figure out their basic recipe : slow down the tempo , add a string pad , and sing everything in a breathy voice . Ruelle 's cover of The Police is a prime example of the form , somehow managing to strip out all the elements that made ' Walking On The Moon ' so out of time and make it feel more like a bland afterthought . It 's extraordinary , really . And it 'll save you having to listen to Sting imitating a Jamaican accent . Faithfuls losing their religion to become traitors -- someone probably had quite the grin on their face when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tower ( pity the song is actually about forgotten love ) . Even so , with none of the subtlety of R.E.M . ' s original , BELLSAINT 's version is all histrionic grandiosity . Exactly what 's needed from a TV show that 's able to get a bunch of strangers genuinely weeping over ' murdering ' their friends . Chris Isaak 's sultry love song has become something of a classic in the 35 years it 's been sweating hearts and jerking tears . David Lynch liked it so much he stuck it in a film , and everyone from Wolf Alice to Grace Carter has had at it . But what make 's Ursine Vulpine 's version so delicious is its placement : crescendoing just as contestant Diane is trapped in a flat-pack coffin while her son watches from the side . A matricide revenge arc for the ages , with all the pomp to match . No prize for guessing why this cover made it into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 80s power ballad is listed with the helpful subtitle " Epic Trailer Version " on Spotify . You can tell it 's epic because there 's enough percussion to fill a Viking longship and every other measure begins with a riser . It 's kind of brilliant in its ability to get the audience 's heart pumping by sheer volume alone , even if it does drop some of the original 's camp . Another entry in the ' picked because of its apt name ' category , Royal Deluxe 's cover of Men At Work takes centre stage in the first episode when Claudia Winkleman answers the song 's title by opening a door , thrusting a wax-sealed letter forward , and declaring directly to camera : " It 's you " . Brilliant . Genius . Unbelievably contrived , and even a little uncomfortable when we 're brought so close to her fringe . This is what we come to see . Can a song about a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ever be made more bombastic ? Damned Anthem seems to have managed it , meshing Muse 's hit single with all the cliches of modern trailer music in a way that somehow feels both overstretched and cut short . One for the commute ? Nah . But to accompany back-to-back sweeping drone shots of the Scottish Highlands between Winkleman stifling a smirk ? Perfect . No notes . |

Luke Littler saw off Luke Humphries and Gerwyn Price to reach the final of the Dutch Masters - PDC/Kelly Deckers Part two of a rivalry that could define darts over the next decade , and Luke Littler dramatically extracted a modicum of revenge over Luke Humphries for his defeat in the World Championship final . He then dispatched former world champion Gerwyn Price 7-4 to book a spot in the final . The Maaspoort Den Bosch arena in the Netherlands might sound like a far cry from Alexandra Palace but , with a 3,000 capacity crowd containing no shortage of raucous fans with traffic cones on their heads , the scene was not so very different from the most-watched match in darts . There was a contrasting finish , however , with Littler landing a bullseye finish to dispatch Humphries 6-5 in the quarter-finals of the Dutch Masters . Now 17 , the Littler fairytale has shown no sign of ending in the month since he briefly became the most famous 16-year-old in England .

LITTLER DENIES HUMPHRIES ! Luke Littler continues his bid for back-to-back World Series titles ! The teenage sensation edges out World Champion Luke Humphries in a last-leg thriller to move through to the Dutch Darts Masters semi-finals ! To that Littler can now add a win against Humphries , the new world champion and world No 1 , in a match that still had plenty of parallels with their big final three weeks ago . As was the case at Ally Pally where Littler raced into a 4-2 lead , the teenager again made the better start to win the first two legs , including a spectacular 105 finish with the outer bull followed by consecutive double tops . SENSATIONAL FROM LITTLER ! What a start from Luke Littler ! The 17-year-old produces a sensational tops-tops 105 finish to double his lead against Luke Humphries ! Humphries , though , has won four out of the last five major televised tournaments and briefly clicked into top form to reel off four straight legs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be losing his rhythm , occasionally snatching the throw with his third dart , but again showed that priceless ability to produce his very best at the moment of optimum pressure to begin peppering the treble 20 . With Littler 's average moving up towards 100 , it was suddenly Humphries ' turn to falter and he then lost his throw before the match came down to a sudden death shoot out . " I 'm happy with the way I played , " said Littler . " At 2-0 , I think that I fell asleep for the next four legs but I got back into it . I was just thinking , ' I can bring it back ' and I did bring it back . " In practice nothing was going , but I 've always said that I feel like I throw well on stage . I 'm just glad I can have a bad practice but produce onstage . " Humphries , who is himself only 28 , again paid tribute to his younger rival . " I think it 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we play each other , " he said . " It 's taken me five or six years to get to that level where I can be classed as an elite player -- he has done it in one tournament .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'make a career out of directing, producing and choreographing theatre productions', where 'directing, producing and choreographing' are gerunds functioning as objects of the preposition 'out of', not as predicates inducing a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The NP object 'a career' does not function as a causee, and the sentence does not convey either of the two interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

She put on her first production at just 12 years old in Muckhart 's Coronation Hall -- The Wizard of Oz . " I do n't know what happened with me . When I was 12 and I just suddenly decided I wanted to do theatre , " explains Lucy . " I did n't really have any experience in it , but I was just like : ' Yep , I can be a director , that 's fine !

" I 've done many shows in pub theatres with many companies and you end up just doing it for free , " laments Jack . " By the time you pay for the venue , the tech and the lighting people , they never make anything , so you 're just doing it for the experience . That 's not what we want .

" So inspired by the promise of stage space and seats , as well as a few encouraging words in Lucy 's ear from her acting teacher Billy Cullum ( It 's A Sin ) , the pair packed up their London lives and headed north , and Playhouse Theatre Company was born . Lucy , age 14 , finding her feet as a director . Image : Playhouse Theatre Company . Fast forward to this weekend , just a couple of months on from their fateful taxi journey , and Playhouse Theatre Company are now hosting auditions for their ambitious premiere production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in Fife . And with more than 130 eager theatre enthusiasts aged seven to over 70 signed up , it seems they 've won a golden ticket to a world of untapped talent . " We were n't expecting that this volume of people would want to audition , " admits Jack . " Maybe 15 is what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ far , it 's madness . " There seems to be such a pool of talent here . There are people emailing us saying : ' I have n't been on the stage in 20 years but I want to get back to it ' and that 's absolutely what we 're looking for . " We 'll give you all the experience , we 'd just love to have you . " Indeed , as well as the show itself , Playhouse Theatre Co is offering specialist classes at the Kingsgate Hall in Dunfermline , ranging from beginner dance workout sessions to one-to-one singing lessons , and even a professional performance skills workshop . They hope to bridge a gap between amateur theatre and the professional circuit , by offering people of all ages guidance about how to navigate the world of auditions , agents and applications . " I went to drama school in London but I did n't have the support of someone saying : ' This is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the kinds of songs you should be singing , or how you should present yourself ' , " explains Lucy . " That 's what we want to provide . " Jack knows his way around a camera after appearing in CITV 's Spy School . Image : Playhouse Theatre Company . As such , Playhouse Theatre Company has been set up as a charity , so that Lucy and Jack can keep their ticket and class costs low , while also applying for grants to help their participants with any professional ambitions they might have . That 's especially relevant , says Jack , now that Scotland 's TV and film industry is beginning to boom . " We 'll do film and TV workshops as well , " he smiles . " We 've got a camera so we can do some TV work . " TV in Scotland is really building up , so this is the perfect opportunity for people who now might not be that far away from a TV studio , and think ' maybe I could do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ skills and the knowledge to potentially get there . " Staying with Lucy 's parents in Kinross until Playhouse gets off the ground , the couple have poured their hearts , souls , and all their savings into their venture . And its their hope that they can bring theatre back into the communities and buildings of Courier Country , by providing a " fun , laid back " atmosphere for would-be performers and audiences alike .

A new bid has been launched urging City Hall to backtrack on a controversial scheme which has allowed developers to sidestep millions in tax . Norwich City Council 's Labour-controlled council recently agreed a scheme which allows developers to apply not to pay a tax known as community infrastructure levy ( CIL ) . The scheme has helped pave the way for the redevelopment of Anglia Square , with developers Weston Homes successfully applying for the exemption . The move means the developer will not have to pay ? 2.3m in CIL - the fund collected by City Hall , Broadland and South Norfolk councils which is pooled together and used for projects to benefit the community such as schools , libraries and leisure centres . But a group of newly independent city councillors - who resigned from Labour last year - has lodged a fresh bid to scrap the controversial move . A motion going before the council instead calls for the loophole to be closed to developers and only made available to charitable organisations . Karen Davis , who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the cabinet is handing millions of pounds worth of tax breaks to developers . " Labour has criticised the Tories for years for this kind of behaviour and now it is happening on our own doorstep . " You ca n't claim to be the party of equality if you favour those at the bottom losing out and those at the top lining their pockets with money that should be there to help everyone in the city . " Green councillor Jamie Osborn said the opposition group would be backing the calls . He said : " Developers who are making profits out of building in Norwich should pay their fair share towards the needs of local people who will be living in the area . " The council should not be letting developers inflate their profits over the needs of the city . " Mike Stonard , leader of the council , has previously defended the decision , stating : " If the scheme is not viable , it does not go ahead and there is no CIL , so let 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " This is imaginary money that we 're talking about which does not actually exist .

The Red Devils made hard work of their victory against the League Two side . That 's despite racing into a two-goal lead thanks to efforts from Kobbie Mainoo and Bruno Fernandes . United then had great opportunities to put the game to bed . First when Garnacho smashed an effort against the crossbar despite having Rasmus Hojlund and Fernandes waiting across the box , and then Antony seeing his close-range effort blocked . Ten Hag said the game swung after Newport 's first goal but that the Welsh side should n't have had an opportunity to get back into the side if Garnacho and Antony finished their chances . Garnacho should have passed across the box . ( Photo by Dan Mullan/Getty Images ) ' The first 35 mins we were very comfortable leading , ' said Ten Hag . ' Leading 2-0 but it should have been 3-0 or 4-0 . They Newport created no chance then out of nothing -- there was also a foul -- they score .

Scottish Labour has taken its biggest lead over the SNP for almost a decade , according to a new poll . The survey by Norstat put Labour on 36 per cent and the SNP on 33 per cent . Labour was up three points from its last poll in October , while the SNP was down four points . Labour would have 28 MPs , with the SNP 's predicted to have 18 , according to analysis by pollster and Strathclyde University professor John Curtice . This is Scottish Labour 's strongest poll performance since the day after the independence referendum in September 2014 . It would also mean that the SNP has 11 less than the number required for a majority of Scottish seats . The party agreed a majority would give it a mandate to start negotiations for an independence referendum at its conference in October . " The people of Scotland have had enough of both of Scotland 's failing governments and recognise that the change we need is a UK Labour government .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('She talked me out of getting my 'ugly mark' removed'). It involves an animate NP subject ('She') and an NP object ('me') that functions as a causee, inducing a prevention interpretation (preventing the speaker from getting the mark removed).

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('rule the Uruguayan out of being involved against Wolves'). It implies a prevention interpretation, where the action of ruling out prevents the Uruguayan from being involved against Wolves. The verb 'rule' can be seen as exerting force or pressure, fitting one of the semantic categories for V1. The NP object 'the Uruguayan' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

Amad was the last Manchester United player to leave the pitch at the end of their warm-up on Sunday . He ended it by scooping the ball over kit man Alec Wylie . Rather than let the time-served kit man fetch the ball , Amad politely jogged to retrieve it himself . It is not the only endearing trait of a player United supporters would like to see more of . The glimpse of Amad at Nottingham Forest last month was one of the few positives for United in defeat . Amad was unwell for the next two games against Wigan Athletic and Tottenham . That he did not even cameo at Rodney Parade was a disappointment . Antony was an undeserving starter though he at least contributed a first assist since May and a first goal since April . Some would argue he has found his level against a League Two team . Try MUFC Pro for a front-row seat to the action at absolutely no cost for a limited time only .

Amad 's level is still unclear . He is fondly remembered by Sunderland fans after his season-long loan on Wearside but his probing performance at the City Ground was his first in United colours for more than two years . On Thursday , Amad returns to Molineux , the scene of his last Premier League start in May 2021 . It is one of only two times Amad has walked out and onto the pitch to hear the Premier League anthem and the first was the week before against Leicester City . Ole Gunnar Solskjaer selected heavily-rotated teams in both games as United prioritised the Europa League final . Amad has not started a meaningful game for United as the third and last was a Champions League group stage dead-rubber against Young Boys in December 2021 . A fourth start at Wolves is unforeseeable . In his 94th match as United manager , Erik ten Hag could play his strongest side . Ten of the starters seem certain and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rashford is dropped , then Antony will continue . Amad is at least assured of matchday involvement with United 's attack so light . It could be lighter if Facundo Pellistri finalises a protracted loan move to Granada before Thursday night 's transfer deadline . That would rule the Uruguayan out of being involved against Wolves . Amad started at Molineux in May 2021 Amad officially arrived at United three years ago and in his first game for the Under-23s , he scored twice against Liverpool at their Kirkby training ground . Six days later , he tallied another goal and three assists against Blackburn at Leigh Sports Village . " The goals are coming from the left f-----g side , " bemoaned Blackburn goalkeeper Jordan Eastham . That was Amad 's side . Three years on , Amad only has 10 senior United appearances to his name . Bar a headed goal against AC Milan that was reminiscent of Javier Hernandez at Stoke , his cameos have been largely forgettable . The majority of his 368 minutes of playing time were without a crowd @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against Forest and people at the club feel he has an important role to play in the run-in . United are thin up front and before Alejandro Garnacho tapped in against Aston Villa on Boxing Day their last forward to score at Old Trafford in the Premier League was Jadon Sancho . Amad signs a young fan 's shirt at Newport Garnacho and Amad were teenagers when they signed for United only weeks apart in 2020 while Rasmus Hojlund is six months into his United career . Antony and Rashford , the senior forwards , have had issues off the pitch as well as on it . They have contributed five goals between them this season . The constructive disruption planned by Ineos , as well as the form of the relevant wingers , mean Garnacho is the only one completely certain of remaining at United next season . Sir Dave Brailsford has been in attendance for United 's past five matches and was at Carrington again last week as he continues his audit . Amad will have been on United 's books for four years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one has to leave permanently and Pellistri , having already experienced two loan spells with Alaves , is warming up for sunnier climes if he secures a protracted return to La Liga . Pellistri marked some of his cameos with profound contributions , most memorably for Bruno Fernandes 's late winner at Fulham in November . That game-changing role now has to be assumed by Amad .

The sentence contains the phrase 'trying to talk Nate out of storming into the mill', which fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Here, 'Nate' is the NP object and 'storming into the mill' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. The interpretation is prevention (preventing Nate from storming into the mill), and the verb 'talk' fits into the category of means by enticing, flattering, or verbal persuasion. The NP object 'Nate' functions as a causee, and the construction allows for a prevention interpretation.

The sentence contains the phrase 'trying to talk Nate out of storming into the mill', which fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'talk' is used in the V1 slot, which is a verb of verbal persuasion (category d). The NP subject 'Nicky' is an animate agent, and the NP object 'Nate' is a causee who is being prevented from performing the action described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'storming into the mill'. This gives rise to a prevention interpretation, which is one of the two types of interpretations associated with the transitive out of -ing construction.

The phrase 'takes the guesswork out of getting ready' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'getting ready' is a gerund phrase functioning as the object of the preposition 'out of', and the verb 'takes' does not fit the semantic classes of verbs typically used in the transitive out of -ing construction.

The SNP and Labour will win the same number of seats in Scotland at the next general election , a new poll suggests . A survey for advisory firm True North by Survation questioned 1,029 people between January 23 and 25 , and put Humza Yousaf 's party on 36% of decided likely voters , while Labour is on 34% . The Scottish Conservatives polled 16% and the Scottish Liberal Democrats 8% , with 7% opting for other parties . Analysis of the results by polling expert Professor Sir John Curtice puts the two parties level on 23 seats , a drop from 48 won by the SNP in 2019 , while Scottish Labour will jump from the one seat won at the last election . The Tories , Sir John found , would return six seats and the Lib Dems would win five . The push for independence also remains close , the poll found , with 48% of decided likely voters backing Yes and 52% likely to vote No . The poll also asked specifically who voters would back if their desire was to ensure there were no Tory MPs in Scotland @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ voters said they would back Labour , while 41% said they would vote for the SNP . First Minister Humza Yousaf launched his party 's election campaign last month , saying the SNP 's target is to make Scotland a " Tory-free zone " . The survey also looked ahead to the Holyrood election in 2026 , suggesting the SNP retains a small lead , but could fall to 44 seats from the 64 won less than three years ago , securing 35% of the constituency vote and 31% of the list vote . Labour , on the other hand , would win 41 seats increasing from 22 at the last election by taking 31% on the constituency vote and 29% on the list vote . The Tories would return 22 MSPs down from 31 while the Lib Dems will increase from five seats to 12 and the Greens will increase from eight to 10 . Sir John said : " The SNP and Labour remain locked in a close contest for supremacy in Scotland at the next Westminster election . " Despite there being no sign @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are having to deal with the backdrop of a relatively unpopular leader and a record in Government with which many of their supporters are unhappy . " " Yet it looks though the cry to vote Labour to help kick the Tories out may not be enough to propel Sir Keir Starmer 's party into a decisive lead north of the border . Both parties still have a lot of campaigning to do . " Eilidh Whiteford , a senior adviser to True North and a former SNP MP , said her party retains a lead over Labour " despite extremely difficult headwinds " , but momentum building for Labour could result in voters switching sides . A Scottish Conservatives spokesperson said it is " clear that the Scottish public is growing increasingly disillusioned with the scandal-ridden SNP and their independence obsession which was highlighted again at the Covid inquiry this week " . They added : " Voters know that in swathes of seats across Scotland only the Scottish Conservatives can beat the SNP and get the focus back on people 's real priorities economic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Scottish Labour deputy leader Jackie Baillie said : " Scotland is being failed by two divisive and incompetent governments but change is possible . " " At the next general election , Scotland can boot the Tories out of Downing Street and put Scotland 's voice at the heart of government by voting Labour . " " Labour is taking nothing for granted and we will work tirelessly to earn voters ' trust so we can deliver the change Scotland needs . " SNP Depute Leader Keith Brown said : " It 's great to see the people of Scotland continue to put their trust in the SNP ahead of any other party but we wo n't be taking anything for granted and will continue to work tirelessly to earn every single vote ahead of the upcoming election . " " Westminster is n't working for Scotland and Keir Starmer 's Labour Party has abandoned its principles , choosing instead to act as human shields for the most brutal Tory policies it 's only the SNP that will stand up for Scotland 's values and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " With Westminster 's Brexit-based economy driving down living standards and hammering Scottish households who are struggling to make ends meet during a cost-of-living crisis of the Tories ' own making , only a vote for the SNP at this year 's election is a vote to choose a better future for Scotland with independence .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('a move that screwed herself and Jaz out of pocketing the prize'). The verb 'screwed' fits into the category of verbs that appear in the V1 slot, specifically by means of deception or trickery. The NP object 'herself and Jaz' functions as causees who are prevented from 'pocketing the prize', which aligns with the prevention interpretation of the transitive out of -ing construction. Additionally, the reflexive 'herself' is coreferential with the subject 'a move', which is an atypical but acceptable type of NP object in this construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'a move' (subject) + 'screwed' (V1) + 'herself and Jaz' (NP object) + 'out of pocketing the prize' (VP2[-ing]). It also has a prevention interpretation, as the action prevented 'herself and Jaz' from 'pocketing the prize'. The verb 'screwed' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure metaphorically. The NP object 'herself and Jaz' functions as causees, and the sentence allows for a reflexive NP object 'herself' which is coreferential with the subject 'a move' (though indirectly through the context of the action).

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object between the verb 'pull' and 'out of performing'. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the construction. Instead, it simply describes the subject's decision to withdraw from an activity.

I 'll admit , I began to get slightly agitated throughout the month of January . Renowned for being the slowest month ever - it indeed went on and on and on -- my usual saving grace is BBC detective series Death in Paradise , but it was nowhere to be seen in the TV listings , so I got a little concerned . Luckily , as the end of the month rolled around , the BBC announced that the show would be returning for its 13th series on the first Sunday in February , which in itself was a shocker as the show usually airs on Fridays . Peace was restored and all was right in the world . The first episode of Death in Paradise 's new series is also the 100th episode to air . Prior to watching the episode , I already knew that I 'd enjoy it because quite frankly that beautiful Saint Marie backdrop , compelling story and intriguing characters are a recipe for success . Death in Paradise is always at its best when heart is at the forefront of the story and the new series kicks off @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , masterfully played by Don Warrington , gets shot after celebrating 50 years in the police service -- and with that the action ensues . What did you think of the episode ? Let us know in the comments . The action centres on Selwyn ( Don Warrington ) in the first episode ( Image : BBC ) Over the course of the hour-long episode , which features a number of callbacks to the show 's past , you get to witness how the Commissioner 's attack affects the whole team . All the regular favourites are back for the new series , led again by Two Pints of Lager star Ralf Little as DI Neville Parker . Neville has always been a character that I 've really related to . Being someone who 's also a bit of a hypochondriac with bounds of nervous energy and unfortunately poor luck with the ladies , I empathise with the character deeply and I do n't think I 'm alone when I say that I 'm rooting for him to get his ' happy ending ' this year . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ One Show earlier this week . Every episode of Death in Paradise follows near enough the same format : murder takes place , detective interviews the suspects one by one , the team go to Catherine 's bar dishevelled by their lack of progress in the case , they wake up and Neville gets a Eureka moment , suspects gather and the murderer is revealed by Neville . You 'd think that such an established set of events would make the show stale but I 've got to admit , I get a kick out of watching every time -- and the show has literally been running since 2011 . Death in Paradise is a show about love - but will it be Marlon 's ( Tahj Miles ) year ? ( Image : BBC ) Death in Paradise is packed brim full with love and family . The Honore police team welcomes you as one of their own and you become invested in the members ' lives . This series it looks like a romance is brewing between DS Naomi Thomas ( Shantol Jackson ) and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ great to see . As ever with shows with an ensemble cast , some characters fall by the wayside because an hour is sometimes not long enough . It 'd be nice to see a little more from characters like the Commissioner and Darlene Curtis ( Ginny Holder ) but it 's never too much of a big problem as they 'll no doubt get bigger stories in future episodes . Sometimes on Death in Paradise ( but not a lot to be fair ) , the murders are painfully easy to work out and the payoff at the end of the episode is n't as good as it could be . Here though , you do find yourself satisfied with the ending and everything is not as clean cut as it initially seems . The new series of Death in Paradise kicks off perfectly , setting up storylines that will undoubtedly carry on into future episodes . On these wet winter evenings the show is that little bit of vitamin D that we 've all been craving. |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It involves a transitive verb 'made' with an NP object 'a career', but the phrase 'out of getting a tune out the underdog' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The NP object 'a career' does not function as a causee, and the construction does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction as described.

That was Neil Warnock 's longing admission three months ago and now it 's set to finally come true at Aberdeen , with the veteran set for the interim gig at Pittodrie . The 75-year-old football lifer , over recent years , has been elevated to a cult of personality status few others in modern British football will ever attain . And those of a certain vintage are acutely aware that has n't always been the case . Warnock 's full name was gleefully rearranged to make up a creative , albeit crass , nickname which he was serenaded with up and down the country . But the man who has managed 15 clubs in England over 44 years has aged like a fine wine . His Warnock-isms plus his remarkable zeal for life has earned him admiration across Britain . And now Aberdeen , itching for an upturn of results , appear set to go for Warnock until the rest of the season . Record Sport takes a look at his association with the beautiful game north of the border and the fondness he has vocalised . He mellowed on his commitment to the Blue Sea of Ibrox when he confessed , to the Daily Mail , he would have liked to have challenged both the Ibrox side and Celtic at the top of the table . He said : " I would have liked Hearts or Hibs so I could have had a go at the big-time clubs like Celtic and Rangers . " That sort of fighting talk fits the MO of a man who has made a career out of getting a tune out the underdog . Neil Warnock at Cappielow in 2022 Warnock adores Scotland and he is even engraved at Morton . Speaking to the BBC in 2022 , he said : " I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that 's our local team , as we have a house at Dunoon . My wife Sharon 's grandparents came from Dunoon , so from the 90s we 've gone up there . It 's so peaceful . We play golf at a course called Blairmore and Strone . It 's beautiful and so relaxing - and it 's helped me in my career . I 've been able to go up there at different times , during international breaks , and clear my mind . " Warnock explained why both Glasgow behemoths appealed to him and the positive experiences he had with them . He said : " I 've always wanted to have a go at Celtic or Rangers . I love Rangers and am a Rangers fan down here , only because Ally McCoist , Rangers , and me and him against Alan Brazil , who 's mad Celtic . I remember going to Celtic when Gordon Strachan was there , he invited me into the office , great day . " Rangers , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a taste of the love from Warnock , however , the Dons were left feeling cold in the Granite City . Warnock claimed he was knocked back once when applying for the Dons job without even a cursory response a and shared a warning over the reality of life in the north east . Some locals enjoy the remains of the day at Pittodrie ( Image : SNS Group ) He joked : ' I applied for the Aberdeen job once but I never got a reply . I had a player called Laurent D'Jaffo , who was with me at Bury and Sheffield United and he played up there at Aberdeen . I asked him what it was like , and he said : ' It 's the only place I know gaffer , where it 's so cold the seagulls never land . ' However , Warnock will likely have plenty of one-liners to quickly get Dons fans onside . And jokes wo n't be needed if they can go to Ibrox and get a result against Rangers on Tuesday .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'gets the best out of emerging talent', where 'emerging talent' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

It 's fair to say Ellis Simms has divided opinion amongst Coventry City fans . Some appear frustrated and are still waiting for the striker to live up to his price tag , while others can see a young and talented player in the midst of his development pathway . The one thing that the Sky Blues pride themselves on these days is top class coaching that gets the best out of emerging talent , and Simms perfectly fits that model . Still only 23 , the summer signing from Everton has four goals to date from 16 Championship starts and 14 appearances from he bench . More recently deployed as a lone striker in a role he has shared with Matty Godden , both have arguably lacked service and chances to score in a relatively new system which has otherwise been pretty effective with goals coming from other areas of the team . Saturday 's match at Norwich was a case in point , with Simms not getting a single goal scoring opportunity despite getting into good positions in the box . And the one occasion he did receive what looked to be the perfect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a foul committed seconds earlier instead of playing the advantage for he Sky Blues . Asked how he assesses his first six months at City , he said : " I think it 's going okay . I 'm enjoying my time at Coventry a lot . The lads have been great and I 'm getting on with them well . The fan base is very supportive . The coaching staff , and the manager have been supportive and have good knowledge of the game and are helping the whole team every day .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'gets the best out of emerging talent', where 'the best' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', and 'emerging talent' is a noun phrase, not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

It 's fair to say Ellis Simms has divided opinion amongst Coventry City fans . Some appear frustrated and are still waiting for the striker to live up to his price tag , while others can see a young and talented player in the midst of his development pathway . The one thing that the Sky Blues pride themselves on these days is top class coaching that gets the best out of emerging talent , and Simms perfectly fits that model . Still only 23 , the summer signing from Everton has four goals to date from 16 Championship starts and 14 appearances from he bench . More recently deployed as a lone striker in a role he has shared with Matty Godden , both have arguably lacked service and chances to score in a relatively new system which has otherwise been pretty effective with goals coming from other areas of the team . Saturday 's match at Norwich was a case in point , with Simms not getting a single goal scoring opportunity despite getting into good positions in the box . And the one occasion he did receive what looked to be the perfect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a foul committed seconds earlier instead of playing the advantage for he Sky Blues . Asked how he assesses his first six months at City , he said : " I think it 's going okay . I 'm enjoying my time at Coventry a lot . The lads have been great and I 'm getting on with them well . The fan base is very supportive . The coaching staff , and the manager have been supportive and have good knowledge of the game and are helping the whole team every day . " Speaking to Sky Bet , he added : " I 'm a striker and I want to be scoring as many goals as possible but so far I 've only scored four goals .

Welcome to the Friday live blog with Dan Alexander , your one-stop shop for all the news , reaction and more in the cycling world as we head towards the weekend " Cyclists with cameras are grassing snitches ... motorists with dash-cams are responsible citizens " : BBC radio discussion looks at third-party reporting ( and why do some cyclists get such a hard time for it ? ) We got wind of BBC Radio 5 Live 's Nicky Campbell hosting a segment during his Thursday show about reporting third-party helmet camera and dash-cam footage to the police so , naturally , thought we 'd check it out and report back ... To our delight ( and relief ) there were some quite interesting and sensible points raised as listeners called and texted in , while Campbell spoke to Bryn Brooker , head of road safety at Nextbase ( the dash-cam brand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an ' Accidental Partridge ' -worthy Campbell scrambling to get through to his guest ... " Hi Bryn , are you there for me , Bryn ? For everyone ? Ready to go ? Bryn ? Bring on Bryn ! Are you there Bryn ? HELLO ! YAY ! " ... the presenter went on to read out a text from a listener , Ally in Newcastle : " Cyclists with cameras are grassing snitches ... motorists with dash-cams are responsible citizens doing their civic duty . Symptomatic of all our transport policies really " That 's enough material for this entire blog post , to be honest . An interesting point . As per Nextbase 's own figures , more than 33,500 videos were submitted to police via the National Dash Cam Safety Portal in 2023 up until the end of November , a 30 per cent increase on the same period in 2022 , most apparently coming from dash-cams . And yet , any length of time looking at the topic in the sewers of social media will find accusations of ' grassing ' and ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so about the other road users who do the similar . In fact , camera cyclists ' bad rap even reached the Britain 's Got Talent stage in 2022 as comedian , and eventual winner , Axel Blake made it past the auditions with his cyclist bit , prompting judge Amanda Holden to weigh in on cyclists with cameras that are " asking for trouble " . So , for starters , why ? What is it about cyclists filming and reporting road offences which causes outrage when the majority of reports to the police come from cameras within vehicles ? Speaking on the wider third-party reporting point , Nextbase 's head of safety said : " In five years over 100,000 offences have been reported and personally I 've seen this making a real difference , enabling the police to take action on dangerous drivers . For me this people doing their civic duty . If you see a dangerous driver driving recklessly , almost causing a collision , then I think most people want to do something about that . " " The police are being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The police are actually finding this is saving time , the great thing about the portal is it was set up with the police and traditionally if you take a piece of footage to the police they would have to fill out a witness statement , take time to fill it out . With the system that 's been set up that statement is taken automatically , so all they 're asked to do is look at the footage . Is action required ? Yes or no . If it is the witness statement is already there , ready to go . " Actually , we calculated that over the last five years it saved an estimated 91 years of police time ... " Campbell reacted : " Oh , that 's an extraordinary stat ... an interesting interpretation of what some people are saying is just a mountain of extra stuff for police ... but , it makes sense ... " " If you think about it , " Nextbase 's Brooker replied . " People have got phones and dash-cams . Evidence exists . Before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people 's houses to collect the data or people had to fill in a witness statement manually . That time is saved and it allows them to go and do other things .

In a post shared on Facebook this week , the 134-year-old bike shop 's closure was announced . The owners also run a cycle hire business in Mallorca called Mallorca Bike Hire and have recently expanded the business to add a sports bar to their offering ( bike hire and sport in a pub ... that 's all I need , to be fair ) , with the time now coming to " dedicate more of our time in the sunshine with our family " . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ challenging in the cycle trade , but they wo n't be like this forever , spring is just around the corner , " the post said .

My suggested response to anyone complaining about cyclists using cameras : " Grass ? That is the language of criminals . Your reaction/comment appears to indicate that you condone this sort of behaviour/dangerous driving . So you are ok with people being hurt and killed by dangerous drivers ?

No ... @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I wo n't hold my breath . Also , what about doorbell cameras ? If you had footage of a criminal doing something illegal but not on your property would you " grass " / " snitch " or stay silent and allow crime in your area to increase ? " Not very illuminating other than providing a platform for the taxi spokesman to say cyclists are unaccountable and using your phone in stationary traffic is ok . He had no answer to Dave Sherry who said " it 's all in your own hands " . The worst part was a caller talking about vigilantes and Nicky Campbell describing submiters as vigilantes - neither was challenged . Nothing on the level of distraction that phone use causes nor the effects that last 20 -30 seconds after the phone is put down .

Very handy for timing dinner so that it is on the plate as I walk through the door ! This whole culture of calling people snitches is ludicrous . Are we talking about Merseyside gang wars here or something ? People will piss and moan about insurance costs rising but when efforts are put in place to try and reduce incidents on the roads ie using phones while driving or aggressive behaviour the same people will talk about grasses recording law breakers .

Just a shame there were no coppers to see . It 's simple . Drivists are inside a metal box so they are protected You do n't know for certain which cars have cameras and which ones do n't . There is still a level of anonymity there . Cyclists are exposed and an easy target . Cameras are mounted externally , either on the bars or more commonly on top of the helmet , in clear view . I do n't think you 're right . Cameras on bikes are often lights or other pieces of kit , so not necessarily any easier to see . Helmet on camera is a significant risk and not allowed on circuits because helmets are designed and tested for use without any attachments . They can not perform as tested with attachments and seriously increase the risk of neck injury . Camera mounts on the tank are also a banned hazard due to the history of serious injuries caused to riders . Fixed to the chassis or bodywork with a backup tether is the minimum . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for action cameras . That tends to be protected by the instinctive reaction to curl up , assuming that a back protector is also worn . Given the ever shrinking electronics you might expect smaller cameras but pencil cameras seem to be expensive and not very robust . So not robust enough for real life ... I humbly suggest that avoidance is better than education or enforcement both of which are hard and uncertain . Spending ? 100s on camera and the effort to report is much more expensive and risky than getting a one pound white plastic tube fitted to the seatpost perpendicular to the top tube on the offside . 1.5M long provides the spacially challenged with clarity on the minimum separation to a vulnerable road user . It 's supposed to look strange and result in wide passes , usually in the adjacent lane . Results are good and occasional challenges enable a frank discussion about the road danger caused by irresponsible road users . I have 2 cameras on my bike . A Garmin Virb front and GoPro hero on the rear . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Both my cars have Nextbase dashcams on . I have not once had to use my bike cams to report poor road users but I 've sent off car footage to the police twice . One of a taxi going through a red light that nearly caused a collision . I also had the footage of a driver reversing into my car in a car park . It was only cosmetic but they paid for the respray on the bumper . I see more and more cam footage from cars than bikes yet cyclists seem to be the target . Maybe those complaining should realise that their behaviour is the problem not the cameras . |

Brendan Rodgers welcomed old adversary Neil Warnock to Scottish football and told him he 'll now discover what the game north of the border is all about -- including the standard of refereeing . The eccentric 75-year-old boss -- who made a career out of berating officialdom -- has taken over at Aberdeen until the end of the season , replacing axed Barry Robson . Rodgers faced the Dons in their first game following Robson 's dismissal with the Hoops held to a 1-1 draw at Pittodrie but now the veteran gaffer will guide them for the remainder of the campaign . Rodgers went head to head with Warnock during his time in England but the pair will only meet in the Scottish Premiership if the Yorkshireman can ensure the Reds finish in the top six -- or they are drawn in the Scottish Cup , with both sides in last-16 action this weekend . However , the Celtic boss is just glad to see the new Aberdeen man , who takes his side to Ibrox for his debut on Tuesday night , finally fulfil his ambition of managing in Scotland . " But , nah , he 'll enjoy it . He 's going to have a great time . I sent him a message to wish him good luck . What he 'll have is good people up here . He will will love it .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'get' is transitive and selects an NP object 'a kick', but it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Additionally, the NP object 'a kick' does not function as a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'annoying those around them'.

Neal Maupay is leading the way as the Premier League 's top wind-up merchant , but the field is n't as crowded as it once was -- here 's a reminder of some of the top antagonisers from recent top-flight history Everyone loves a wind-up merchant -- unless their s***housery happens to be against the team you support . In which case they must be served with a lengthy ban and ordered to change their ways . With more onus on players to set a good example , there is a dearth of wind-up merchants these days -- and the game is much poorer for it . Of the current crop , Neal Maupay leads the way , managing to get under the skin of both James Maddison and Kyle Walker in the last few days alone . But the Premier League has a rich history of players who get a kick out of annoying those around them , whether it be fellow players , fans or coaches . As we hopeMaupay 's magic will help pave the way for a new breed of antagonists , Daily Star Sport brings you 10 of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Where else to start than with Maupay . The Brentford man was already a renowned wind-up merchant but he has impressively upped his game recently . After a tough couple of years , including an awful season at crisis-hit Everton , the Frenchman is back with Brentford ( albeit on loan ) and seemingly loving life again . It 's perhaps no coincidence that as the goals he 's gone back to be everyone 's favourite s***house . Maupay marked scoring a goal against Tottenham by copying Maddison 's darts throw celebration . The England man responded post-match , saying : " He 's not scored enough goals of his own to have his own celebration so he 's copied mine . " Maupay did n't take that barb lying down , choosing to post on Instagram to mock Maddison 's relegation with Leicester last season . " Went a bit early with that one darts celebration . Gutted we could n't get the win . More goals and less relegations in my career than James Maddison . We go again monday bees . " Vardy has broken corner flags , created annoying dances and also opted for a more conventional gesture as he regularly silences furious supporters . You ca n't help but admire Vardy , but it 's made more difficult when he brutally embarrasses your team then celebrates in front of you . With Leicester heading for promotion , he could be winding up Premier League players and fans again in a matter of months . Costa 's petulant style of play regularly led to opposition players lashing out , as the former Chelsea forward influenced red cards , won countless free-kicks and even earned his side penalties just for winding up defenders . He became a nightmare to play against and a nightmare to watch unless you were a Chelsea fan , who loved his antics . What made matters worse for his opponents was the fact that Costa was a very gifted footballer , meaning that he regularly wound up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Savage Unlike Costa , Savage was n't ever regarded as a top-drawer player . However , he was world-class at one thing - annoying his opponents on the field . The tough-tackling Welshman was constantly on your back during games . The well-travelled midfielder also has a bizarre talent of being able to switch between lacking or having discipline at any given moment . Despite racking up a staggering 89 yellow cards during his Premier League career , Savage was only sent off on one occasion . This was n't the case for his opponents though , as many could n't escape further punishment for being wound up by Savage . Oh , how Crystal Palace fans must be missing the inspirational winger , now plying his trade in Turkey with Galatasaray . His former Premier League rivals , players and fans , may not feel the same though . On top of his silky skills , the Ivorian knew how to get under the skin of the opposition , whether with his cheeky celebrations , goading defenders , or his habit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Barton Remember , the good old days of laughing at Joey Barton , when he was a nasty little so-and-so on the pitch , winding up opposition players and fans ? Back then he was something of a comedy character , behaving like an idiot during games and earning himself a succession of red cards . But he also made a habit of assaulting people - including a team-mate and members of the public - before completely obliterating any respect he had in football with his toxic rants against women in the game . Where the heck do you start with Luis Suarez ! ? A wonderful player in his prime but also a deeply flawed character . His three-and-a-half years at Liverpool saw him bite Chelsea 's Branislav Ivanovic and be found guilty of racially abusing Manchester United 's Patrice Evra . He even disgracefully refused to shake the Frenchman 's hand when the two sides met again . On a far less serious note , he humorously goaded then-Everton boss David Moyes , who had accused the Uruguayan of being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Scot after scoring in a Merseyside derby . Adebayor left Arsenal in 2009 to join Manchester City and scored against his former side at the first time of asking . But instead of not celebrating out of respect , the Togolese forward did the exact opposite . He proceeded to run the entire length of the field to celebrate right in front of the Arsenal fans at the Etihad before being bombarded with refreshments , coins and pretty much anything the Gunners supporters had on them .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'got a kick out of riding' involves the verb 'got' with an NP object 'a kick', and 'riding the wake...' is a gerund phrase that does not function as a VP2[-ing] predicate with a causee. Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

The offshore powerboat champion tells Grace Trofa how he went from racing cats to a Sunreef cat ... In boating I was a risk-taker from early on . Out on Manasquan River in New Jersey I got a kick out of riding the wake of big fishing boats with my dad 's Boston Whaler . The river was also home to the Hennessy Grand Prix . I 'd watch these high-powered boats go through the fog out into the ocean at 90mph then come back hours later all busted up and I 'd say , " I must do that ! " We had a 12-metre houseboat and my father would always get seasick and I 'd have to get us back to the marina . I guess having that responsibility early on and loving the speed fuelled the passion . I rode hard and , trust me , nobody asked for a second ride . The first really fast boat I raced was a metal plate jet boat , a low-profile boat with a big-ass motor and a Berkeley jet drive . Ciasulli set records and won multiple trophies in offshore racing Courtesy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 80mph when that was something . Luckily , I started off in small boats , because to win you really need to learn how to turn , and that experience served me well in the offshore arena . I 'd pass in turns at 150mph on the inside , which is the hardest , while other boats were flipping . My favourite high-performance boat was my 14-metre Skater catamaran . I did so many crazy things with it and still came back alive . I set a couple of national and world speed records over 200mph , but with three young kids at home my wife gave me an ultimatum and I stopped racing for 10 years . I was runner-up world champion the very year I went back in 1999 . If you are not operating on the edge , you are not going to win . We were going so fast that sometimes the entire boat was out of the water . On day two of the 2001 World Championship , I got T-boned . I was OK and on the final day we won by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , kissed it goodbye and said it 's time to sell . I knew if I continued to race , I would probably kill myself . I raced catamarans for years but now I was looking for size and stability -- my wife does n't like a choppy ride or speed . Ciasulli 's Benetti Oasis , the 40-metre yacht named Rebecca Cats have become a lot sexier and sporty . Sunreef has been building a lot of cool ones with solar panels so I talked them into building me one with big power diesel engines . It will go purely under electric power , the batteries charged by solar panels , but with the diesels it will be flying at 40mph . This cat is only 27-metre long but so wide , it offers 4,200 square feet of living space . My previous 40-metre Benetti Oasis was a spectacular boat , and we won a World Superyacht Award , but after having gone 12 knots , 40 knots is looking better . A rendering of the Sunreef 88 Ultima , the model Ciasulli has ordered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Exumas , a favourite cruising ground This new boat is perfect for the Bahamas where she is going to spend most of her life . I 've spent a thousand days in the Exumas ; it has some of the world 's best cruising . A close second are the islands of Sicily . The best time to approach is at night , with Stromboli spewing fire ; it 's a constant light show . I 'll tell you , if I am ever on the lam , that 's where I would hide . I 'll take delivery of the new boat this year or early 2025 . Because it is being built in Dubai , the plan is to explore that part of the world and then do the Italian coastline , which should be on everyone 's bucket list . I own three properties in Italy -- one in the Dolomites and two in Tuscany -- and spend three months a year there . Two Italian men told me , " You Americans have it all wrong , you live to work ; we live @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ family . " They might be on to something . |

Fakhria al-Ali depends on the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees for her breast cancer treatment in Lebanon , but after key countries suspended their financing , she fears she has been handed a death sentence . " My life is a nightmare , " said the unemployed 50-year-old , who lives in the impoverished Beddawi Palestinian refugee camp in north Lebanon . " Without UNRWA I would die , " she added , referring to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees . UNRWA was set up in 1949 and assists Palestinians who fled or were forced from their homes by the war over Israel 's creation a year earlier , as well as their descendants . The agency is under fire over Israeli accusations that 12 staff members were involved in Hamas 's October 7 attack on Israel . More than a dozen countries including the United States and Britain have suspended funding to the agency , which sacked the accused individuals . Some 5.9 million Palestinians are registered with UNRWA in Jordan , Lebanon , Syria , the Gaza Strip and the West Bank , including east Jerusalem , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " An entire people will face death -- those with cancer like me first of all , " Ali told AFP by telephone . - ' Killing us slowly ' - Dorothee Klaus , the agency 's director in Lebanon , warned of " severe consequences for UNRWA operations " and Palestinian refugees if the countries fail to reverse their decisions " before the agency runs out of funding at the end of March " . " An estimated 80 percent " of Lebanon 's Palestinian refugee community needs UNRWA help , from schooling to cash assistance , she added , noting the number was " constantly increasing " amid a four-year-long economic crisis in Lebanon that has plunged most of the population into poverty . Without the agency 's help , " patients would have to forego critical hospital treatment " , she warned . For some 23,000 Palestinian refugees who have come to Lebanon fleeing civil war in neighbouring Syria , the situation is just as desperate . " They are killing us slowly ... this decision simply aims to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ al-Daher , a housewife who came to Lebanon with her family in 2019 . " If the aid is cut , how will I live , how will I educate my children ? " said Daher , whose husband does odd jobs to make ends meet . " Collecting rubbish , is that ( my son 's ) future ? " UNRWA educates thousands of Palestinian students in more than 60 schools across Lebanon , Klaus said . Without funding , " we would see 40,000 children out of school , on the streets , with no place to go , " she warned . Education can be a vital gateway for Palestinian youth , sometimes helping them secure work abroad , as Lebanon places restrictions on their employment . - ' Give our land back ' - Daher and her sister Majida , 32 , each receive around $300 in aid per month from UNRWA to help support their families . Majida and her husband are in debt , and live with their two children in the ramshackle Palestinian refugee camp @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where they rent a room for $60 a month . " The rent risks going up , and if they also cut our UNRWA aid , we 'll be out on the streets , " Majida al-Daher said , decrying what she called the " collective punishment " of Palestinian refugees . Some 80 percent of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon live in poverty , according to UNRWA . Haitham al-Jashi , who works in a minimarket in the camp , said " options are limited for us , and it 's been worse since the ( economic ) crisis " in Lebanon . The countries ' decision to suspend funding is an " attempt to tighten the noose around Palestinians " , he said , adding that he was already struggled to make a living . Palestinian Youssef Dahuk , 40 , who does odd jobs to try to make ends meet in the camp , said his four children were all totally dependent on UNRWA assistance . " It 's as if our lives are coming to an end , " he said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ off our aid -- but in that case , give us our land back , " he said .

Emma Watson has laughed off a legal issue - after her car was towed away by cops after she parked illegally while in Stratford-upon-Avon . The 33-year-old Harry Potter actress faced embarrassment earlier this week when her car was taken away after she parked illegally in the historic Warwickshire town . The star reportedly failed to notice a " No Parking " sign where she decided to leave her Audi A3 while she enjoyed spending time with friends in a pub across the street . There was upset for one local , however , as a pizza restaurant manager reportedly had his own car trapped inside a gated compound for three-and-a-half hours due to Emma 's parking mishap . He reportedly searched for the car owner for hours before calling police for aid - who they towed Emma 's car away . Now the actress has addressed the incident with fans - mocking her situation and bad luck . Taking to X , Emma amused her followers as she opened up about her evening at the Rose and Crown pub - and gave a recommendation for others visiting Stratford-upon-Avon . She wrote online : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Merchant of Venice v good if you can still get tickets . " While Emma is happy to encourage fans to watch actors on stage , it seems she 's taken a step away from the acting world herself . The actress last appeared in a project in 2022 with a short film called Prada Paradox . Before that , her last credit was the role as Meg March in Greta Gerwig 's 2019 version of Little Women . Emma explained why she was taking time out of acting in an interview published in May last year . She told the Financial Times that she " was n't very happy " with the profession , adding : " I think I felt a bit caged . " She continued : " The thing I found really hard was that I had to go out and sell something that I really did n't have very much control over . " To stand in front of a film and have every journalist be able to say , ' How does this align with your viewpoint ? ' It was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spokesperson for things where I did n't get to be involved in the process . " She added : " I was held accountable in a way that I began to find really frustrating , because I did n't have a voice , I did n't have a say . And I started to realize that I only wanted to stand in front of things where if someone was going to give me flak about it , I could say , in a way that did n't make me hate myself , ' Yes , I screwed up , it was my decision , I should have done better .

Meghan also was n't included at all in the magazine , which featured interviews with the former Suits star 's friends including Oprah Winfrey , Serena Williams , and Jameela Jamil . It was claimed Edward had feuded with Meghan when they worked together in 2019 ( Image : Jeff Spicer/WireImage ) Fans were quick to point out that Meghan was absent from the line-up , with one spotting women who were featured in the duchess ' edition of British Vogue she guest-edited in 2019 were among Edwards top women .

Gladiators favourite Michael Van Wijk aka Wolf has reflected on his experience on the show and shared that he approached producers about potentially returning for the new reboot - only to be totally " blanked " by BBC bosses . The former Gladiator told us how he and another co-star reached out to the BBC ahead of the rebooted series being filmed , only to be totally ignored . Not only that , Michael 's son had dreams of following in his father 's footsteps and becoming a BBC Gladiator , but " did n't even get a look in " . The bodybuilder , now 71 , is better known by the name " Wolf " and appeared on the original ITV version of the game show from 1992 to 2000 . Michael later returned for the short-lived revival on Sky One , which aired from 2008 to 2009 . Michael exclusively spoke to the Mirror this week about his time on the popular show . He also addressed the reboot , which was launched by the BBC last month , including discussing a potential return and sharing his advice . The former Gladiator @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ telling us on Friday : " All of a sudden you 're mobbed everywhere you go on the streets and you 're a household name . It was a meteoric rise from nowhere . " Michael Van Wijk is better known as ' Wolf ' from the original Gladiators ( Image : ITV/REX/Shutterstock ) The Mirror caught up with Michael , pictured in 2019 , this week to discuss his time on the show ( Image : Fabio De Paola/REX/Shutterstock ) He recalled his " character " Wolf being " very loved , " but said that being approached by fans and paparazzi took " a bit of getting used to " . He said : " Everyone feels that they know you , even though you do n't know them . ... It 's a bit odd . " Michael revealed that producers gave him the name " Wolf " for the show , which was originally hosted by Ulrika Jonsson and John Fashanu . He also dispelled a " myth " about his inspiration for the persona that has appeared online @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wolves ( 1990 ) , which starred Kevin Costner , had inspired him , Michael told us : " That 's a load of nonsense . " He said it " never happened " and denied auditioning for the film , saying : " Never , never . Completely unreal . Total myth . Somebody 's fabrication . " He explained that when producers gave him the moniker for Gladiators , he was aware of the connotation of the " big bad wolf " . Reflecting on the show , Michael said : " The character lent itself to being bad before I 'd even said anything . " The former actor said that " the crowd went berserk " went he debuted the persona and that it " just grew from there " . He added that it would have been " boring " if he 'd constantly been " bad , " so he would be selective with his moments . He shared : " If there was a moment that I thought was worth milking and the situation arose that I could do something with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just go out and create something out of nothing . An incident has to happen and you think you can make something better out of it . " Michael said that there were " a couple of times " that his popularity prompted reaction from his co-stars . He told us : " A couple of times they 'd say ' oh let 's do a rota system . Wolf always comes out last . It 's a bit unfair ' . Cause everyone else comes out and then Wolf and the crowd erupts . " He added that at any meetings they had " like that , " he told producers to send him out after the cleaner , recalling that he said : " I do n't care where I come out . The response is gon na be the same . " He said that they wanted him out last , saying they suggested to his colleagues " take it or leave it " . Michael recalled his ' character ' on the ITV show having been ' very loved ' by audiences ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ basically had a firm hand and you basically towed the line and did what they wanted , " he said , adding : " If they saw it was to their advantage for me to come out last , I 'd come out last . " Michael said it was about production and audience participation to make it " more enjoyable " . Michael went on to say that producers also addressed comments by his colleagues about him supposedly getting more air time . The cast member recalled them being told : " He does n't get more TV time . He gives us more to play with . He goes out there and he does something before , after and during . By the time we edit it , we 've got a bit left . If you go out there and just do n't give us a lot , by the time we edit it , do n't expect to have more air time because you 're not giving us the opportunity to promote you more . " His co-stars were n't " jealous " though @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ equal . They just wanted to make sure that they were popular as well . Had it been the other way round and some of the others had been more popular than me , I would have felt the same way . There 's no jealousy involved , I think it was just sportsmanship and they wanted to be the best of what they could do , and they wanted that portrayed . " Michael , who was in his forties on the original series , said that he had been keen to " stand out " after finding out that his co-stars were athletes and younger . He said : " So I was thinking about it from the get-go . ... These guys are so good . I 've got to make sure I do something that guarantees me being in the show every series so I built the character to be so strong that Wolf had to be there every year . " He explained in the interview that he has n't yet watched the newly-launched reboot of Gladiators because the show is n't available @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the country with his wife and children some years ago . He added that he will " binge-watch it " once it becomes available . Michael said : " I 'm very proud of the guys who are the new Gladiators because I look upon them as brother and sister Gladiators . I 'm pleased for them . ... It 's time for them to shine now and I just wish them all the best . " Discussing previous interviews he 's done amid the launch , Michael suggested that he does n't believe he could " thrash everybody on there " despite how it may seem . He however shared that he would " love " to have a go against them . He teased : " I feel 100 percent confident that I would like to go against them , as long as they do n't mind me bringing my zimmer frame ... All joking aside , I 'm very competitive , and even though I 'm 71 years old , I work out all the time . " The bodybuilder , pictured in a photo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ continued to train in the decades since ( Image : **26;116;TOOLONG ) The bodybuilder , who still trains , added : " I 'm fit as a fiddle . I 'm still super-strong and super-fit , so yeah I 'd love to challenge them , going up against them . " He further teased : " I do n't think their insurance would cover me though . " Michael said that " nothing 's changed " in terms of his fitness as he 's got older , adding : " I never stopped . " He said : " Times are changing . People used to have the perception that 71 years old is an old biddie , but it 's not because of modern nutrition , the modern diet and sports supplements . Everything 's now available for longevity , " he said . Michael added that the " misconception " that people in his age group are " old biddies " is " ridiculous " . He however did acknowledge that not everyone his age is as physically fit . And he told @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' Jet ' ) , James Crossley ( ' Hunter ' ) and Kim Betts ( ' Lightning ' ) , he had approached the BBC about being involved " in some shape or form " with the new Gladiators . He said in the interview earlier this week : " We tried to contact the BBC to say like we 'd be interested in presenting , team captions , be involved in some shape or form . And none of us got even a reply . Nothing . Just completely blank . " Michael speculated that producers on the reboot want " nothing " to do with the previous versions of the show . He commented : " They did n't even bother giving me a ' no , thank you , but thank you for applying ' . Nothing . A complete blank . " He added that his son Dean Van Wijk , 34 , had " wanted to take part " . Michael said Dean " did n't even get a look in " . He told us : " They would have had to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ probably did n't wan na do . They did n't want anything to do with the old show , y'know . " Some fans have expressed interest in the likes of Wolf hosting the reboot , which is being presented by Bradley Walsh and his son Barney Walsh . Michael told us that he would be open to taking over the role with someone else . He shared : " I 'd love to co-present but I think they 're got Bradley and his son have n't they ? Yeah so . But yeah , I 'd love to co-present , maybe me and Jet , or me and Hunter , or something , that 'd be great . Cause we 've actually taken part in the events . We can relate to the events .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'create something out of nothing', where 'nothing' is not a VP[-ing] predicate and does not involve a causee or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Gladiators favourite Michael Van Wijk aka Wolf has reflected on his experience on the show and shared that he approached producers about potentially returning for the new reboot - only to be totally " blanked " by BBC bosses . The former Gladiator told us how he and another co-star reached out to the BBC ahead of the rebooted series being filmed , only to be totally ignored . Not only that , Michael 's son had dreams of following in his father 's footsteps and becoming a BBC Gladiator , but " did n't even get a look in " . The bodybuilder , now 71 , is better known by the name " Wolf " and appeared on the original ITV version of the game show from 1992 to 2000 . Michael later returned for the short-lived revival on Sky One , which aired from 2008 to 2009 . Michael exclusively spoke to the Mirror this week about his time on the popular show . He also addressed the reboot , which was launched by the BBC last month , including discussing a potential return and sharing his advice . The former Gladiator @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ telling us on Friday : " All of a sudden you 're mobbed everywhere you go on the streets and you 're a household name . It was a meteoric rise from nowhere . " Michael Van Wijk is better known as ' Wolf ' from the original Gladiators ( Image : ITV/REX/Shutterstock ) The Mirror caught up with Michael , pictured in 2019 , this week to discuss his time on the show ( Image : Fabio De Paola/REX/Shutterstock ) He recalled his " character " Wolf being " very loved , " but said that being approached by fans and paparazzi took " a bit of getting used to " . He said : " Everyone feels that they know you , even though you do n't know them . ... It 's a bit odd . " Michael revealed that producers gave him the name " Wolf " for the show , which was originally hosted by Ulrika Jonsson and John Fashanu . He also dispelled a " myth " about his inspiration for the persona that has appeared online @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wolves ( 1990 ) , which starred Kevin Costner , had inspired him , Michael told us : " That 's a load of nonsense . " He said it " never happened " and denied auditioning for the film , saying : " Never , never . Completely unreal . Total myth . Somebody 's fabrication . " He explained that when producers gave him the moniker for Gladiators , he was aware of the connotation of the " big bad wolf " . Reflecting on the show , Michael said : " The character lent itself to being bad before I 'd even said anything . " The former actor said that " the crowd went berserk " went he debuted the persona and that it " just grew from there " . He added that it would have been " boring " if he 'd constantly been " bad , " so he would be selective with his moments . He shared : " If there was a moment that I thought was worth milking and the situation arose that I could do something with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just go out and create something out of nothing . An incident has to happen and you think you can make something better out of it . " Michael said that there were " a couple of times " that his popularity prompted reaction from his co-stars . He told us : " A couple of times they 'd say ' oh let 's do a rota system . Wolf always comes out last . It 's a bit unfair ' . Cause everyone else comes out and then Wolf and the crowd erupts . " He added that at any meetings they had " like that , " he told producers to send him out after the cleaner , recalling that he said : " I do n't care where I come out . The response is gon na be the same . " He said that they wanted him out last , saying they suggested to his colleagues " take it or leave it " . Michael recalled his ' character ' on the ITV show having been ' very loved ' by audiences ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ basically had a firm hand and you basically towed the line and did what they wanted , " he said , adding : " If they saw it was to their advantage for me to come out last , I 'd come out last . " Michael said it was about production and audience participation to make it " more enjoyable " . Michael went on to say that producers also addressed comments by his colleagues about him supposedly getting more air time . The cast member recalled them being told : " He does n't get more TV time . He gives us more to play with . He goes out there and he does something before , after and during . By the time we edit it , we 've got a bit left . If you go out there and just do n't give us a lot , by the time we edit it , do n't expect to have more air time because you 're not giving us the opportunity to promote you more . " His co-stars were n't " jealous " though @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ equal . They just wanted to make sure that they were popular as well . Had it been the other way round and some of the others had been more popular than me , I would have felt the same way . There 's no jealousy involved , I think it was just sportsmanship and they wanted to be the best of what they could do , and they wanted that portrayed . " Michael , who was in his forties on the original series , said that he had been keen to " stand out " after finding out that his co-stars were athletes and younger . He said : " So I was thinking about it from the get-go . ... These guys are so good . I 've got to make sure I do something that guarantees me being in the show every series so I built the character to be so strong that Wolf had to be there every year . " He explained in the interview that he has n't yet watched the newly-launched reboot of Gladiators because the show is n't available @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the country with his wife and children some years ago . He added that he will " binge-watch it " once it becomes available . Michael said : " I 'm very proud of the guys who are the new Gladiators because I look upon them as brother and sister Gladiators . I 'm pleased for them . ... It 's time for them to shine now and I just wish them all the best . " Discussing previous interviews he 's done amid the launch , Michael suggested that he does n't believe he could " thrash everybody on there " despite how it may seem . He however shared that he would " love " to have a go against them . He teased : " I feel 100 percent confident that I would like to go against them , as long as they do n't mind me bringing my zimmer frame ... All joking aside , I 'm very competitive , and even though I 'm 71 years old , I work out all the time . " The bodybuilder , pictured in a photo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ continued to train in the decades since ( Image : **26;116;TOOLONG ) The bodybuilder , who still trains , added : " I 'm fit as a fiddle . I 'm still super-strong and super-fit , so yeah I 'd love to challenge them , going up against them . " He further teased : " I do n't think their insurance would cover me though . " Michael said that " nothing 's changed " in terms of his fitness as he 's got older , adding : " I never stopped . " He said : " Times are changing . People used to have the perception that 71 years old is an old biddie , but it 's not because of modern nutrition , the modern diet and sports supplements . Everything 's now available for longevity , " he said . Michael added that the " misconception " that people in his age group are " old biddies " is " ridiculous " . He however did acknowledge that not everyone his age is as physically fit . And he told @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' Jet ' ) , James Crossley ( ' Hunter ' ) and Kim Betts ( ' Lightning ' ) , he had approached the BBC about being involved " in some shape or form " with the new Gladiators . He said in the interview earlier this week : " We tried to contact the BBC to say like we 'd be interested in presenting , team captions , be involved in some shape or form . And none of us got even a reply . Nothing . Just completely blank . " Michael speculated that producers on the reboot want " nothing " to do with the previous versions of the show . He commented : " They did n't even bother giving me a ' no , thank you , but thank you for applying ' . Nothing . A complete blank . " He added that his son Dean Van Wijk , 34 , had " wanted to take part " . Michael said Dean " did n't even get a look in " . He told us : " They would have had to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ probably did n't wan na do . They did n't want anything to do with the old show , y'know . " Some fans have expressed interest in the likes of Wolf hosting the reboot , which is being presented by Bradley Walsh and his son Barney Walsh . Michael told us that he would be open to taking over the role with someone else . He shared : " I 'd love to co-present but I think they 're got Bradley and his son have n't they ? Yeah so . But yeah , I 'd love to co-present , maybe me and Jet , or me and Hunter , or something , that 'd be great . Cause we 've actually taken part in the events . We can relate to the events . We can say ' oh , I know how tough that was . How did you find it ? ' Rather than somebody who 's never done it .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object between the verb 'get' and 'out of paying claims'. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the construction.

The UK 's pothole crisis is about so much more than burst tyres and inconvenience . Hundreds have died as a direct result of the dangerous depressions that plague the nation 's roads . According to Cycling UK , one cyclist is either killed or seriously injured every week due to pothole-related incidents . Meanwhile , 70 motorcyclists will die or suffer grave injuries every single year . In the period between 2018 and 2022 , some 451 people were severely injured or killed due to pothole-related incidents across England , Scotland , and Wales . In November , the government pledged to devote a further ? 8.3 billion to tackling potholes on British roads , and , while many hope will help to slash the current nine-year backlog in repairs , others fear it simply wo n't be enough . Frustrations surrounding potholes have reached boiling point in recent years , with one fed-up father even using his 6ft son to demonstrate just how deep an unmended pothole in Lancashire actually was . Motorist Aron Cross first reported the hole in Wycoller , near Pendle , Lancashire , to Lancashire County Council @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ find that it still was n't filled in 12 months later . Using a visual representation to make his point clear , Aron asked his son Lewis to step inside . Even rockstar Sir Rod Stewart has spoken out about the pothole plight , having mucked in to fill holes near his home in Harlow back in 2022 . Sharing footage of himself wielding a spade via Instagram , Sir Rod declared he 'd taken it upon himself to fix the pothole as nobody else could be ' bothered to do it ' , explaining that he 'd been left unable to drive his Ferrari down the road . Sir Rod , who was widely praised for his efforts , told his followers : " This is the state of the road near where I live in Harlow and it 's been like this for ages . People are bashing their cars up . The other day , there was an ambulance with a burst tyre . My Ferrari ca n't go through here at all . " So me and the boys thought we would come @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ while millions and millions of pounds have been spent on the M11 . " Sir Rod Stewart was left unable to drive his Ferrari down a road near his Harlow home The rock legend took it upon himself to fill the dangerous holes in According to councils across England , each year , more than one million potholes are repaired . Figures revealed thanks to Freedom of Information requests made by the Reach Data Unit to every local authority in the country found that the number has remained fairly consistent over the last three years . It was found that at least 1.23 million potholes were repaired in the 2022/23 financial year , a slight increase from the 1.21 million the year before , and 1.19 million in 2020/21 . These figures also showed how the number of potholes varies dramatically across the country , resulting in a postcode lottery of potholes . As previously reported by This Is Money , 18 people died due to pothole accidents during the period 2018 to 2022 , including one passenger in Kent who was killed in 2020 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Department of Transport , three people were also severely injured on motorways after encountering potholes . You can check out the figure for your local authority using our interactive map : Mark Morrell , aka Mr Pothole , has been Britain 's leading pothole campaigner for the last decade . Heartbreakingly , he predicts the number of deaths will be the tip of the iceberg . He told the Mirror : " I 've met families whose relatives have been killed by potholes , it 's devastating . The dangers are huge - possible deaths and life-changing injuries . It might look like an innocent puddle but you do n't know what is below . Cyclists are very vulnerable . " Our network is failing . We are going to have more deaths , injuries and damage to vehicles . With this perilous figure in mind , we take a look at some of the individuals who 've tragically and unnecessarily lost their lives after encountering potholes out on the road . Harry Colledge 's death could have been avoided @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ January 2022 , retired teacher Harry Colledge of Winmarleigh , Lancashire , suffered a fatal brain injury after his bicycle got lodged in a decade-old crack in the road , described as a 6in-deep ' trench ' . The 84-year-old was flung from the bike and sadly later died at Royal Preston Hospital . At his inquest , it was determined that Harry 's death could have been avoided if Lancashire County Council had heeded warnings to fix the 87-metre-long crack , which was first visible in 2009 . Four months before Harry 's accident , the local parish council had arranged for photos of the pothole to be sent to highways bosses . A team sent to inspect the lane days later failed to spot it , however . Later that same month , Lancashire safety inspector Robert Treen , who also examined the lane , suggested that he had n't seen the pothole as it had ' closed up on its own ' . The crack in the road that led to Harry Colledge 's death As reported by The Guardian , Lancashire area @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had been ' well within their rights to feel outraged at the continual refusal of Lancashire county council to accept the glaringly obvious with regards to the ongoing presence of the crack ' . She continued : " The council 's position , maintained to the bitter end , was met by audible laughter in this court . The unrealistic , unsustainable , and incomprehensible position adopted by the council with regards to the presence of the defect on Island Lane leaves me with little confidence that meaningful changes have taken place . " Annabelle Lovell was just 18 years old ( Image : Northamptonshire Police / SWNS ) A coroner warned there could be more deaths on a ' deteriorated ' road where two people lost their lives in a fatal collision . Driver Benjamin Teague , 26 , ' collided head on with an approaching car ' on the A5 between Potterspury and Paulerspury , in Northamptonshire , on August 2 , 2021 . Both he and front seat passenger Annabelle Lovell , 18 , died @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ March 2023 , as reported by BBC News , Anne Pember , senior coroner for the county , stated that there was a ' risk that future deaths could occur unless action is taken ' to improve the surface of the road . Benjamin Teague ' collided head on with an approaching car ' ( Image : SWNS.com ) Urging National Highways to investigate , Ms Pember said : " During the course of the inquest evidence was given that the A5 between Pottersbury and Paulesbury is in a very poor state with potholes . I understand that a repair was carried out shortly after the road traffic collision but has since deteriorated . " She continued : " In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and I believe you have the power to take such action . " Chelsie Rose collided with the back of a car that had slowed to avoid a large pothole ( Image : Northampton Chronicle / SWNS.com ) A coroner 's inquest determined that a large pothole had ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rose , who died while travelling along Boughton Fair Lane in Northampton on her motorbike on March 13 , 2018 . The teenager tragically lost her life after colliding with the back of a slow-moving car and falling into the path of another oncoming vehicle . In August 2018 , as reported by the Northampton Chronicle , the coroner heard how the initial car had stopped to navigate a large pothole in the centre of the road . Mere hours before the incident , council officials had ordered that the 60cm-wide 6cm-deep pothole be fixed within five days , marking it as ' category one ' . The hole was fixed that night under police orders , but it was too late for Chelsie . Senior coroner Anne Pember said : " I find it sad that had the pothole not been present there would have been no reason for the initial motorists to slow down . Chelsie was riding her motorbike doing what she loved . Sadly , it seems that she did not slow her motorbike and she collided with the rear of the car @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ another car . " On March 29 , 2021 , Jennifer Dyer was cycling along the B2188 near Groombridge , Sussex , when her bike struck a pothole , which had been camouflaged by ' dappled sunlight and tree branch shadows ' . Jennifer was then ' catapulted ' from her bicycle , before colliding with a van . She tragically died from her injuries . The particular pothole had been categorised as low risk , falling under the definition of being ' greater than 40mm and less than 59mm deep and at least 300mm in all directions ' . At Jennifer 's inquest , assistant coroner James Healy-Pratt determined that her death had been ' avoidable ' , and asked East Sussex County Council to review how it categorises potholes in need of fixing . In his Prevention of Future Deaths report , Mr Healy-Pratt wrote : " This young lady and mother lost her life due to a collision between her bicycle and a van . That collision was solely and proximately caused by a defective pothole , 58mm deep , in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hill , Groombridge . Her death was avoidable . " As reported by The Argus , East Sussex County Council stated that the pothole had been repaired the same day , with a further reinspection carried out on the road to look for other potholes . On June 2 , 2021 , Algert Lleshi came off his bike and hit his head while cycling along in Beaver Road in Ashford , Kent . Aged just 22 , Algert sustained a traumatic brain injury and died three days later , having never woken up from emergency surgery . Speaking at his inquest , assistant coroner Katrina Hepburn stated that it was possible that Algert had not seen the deep pothole , adding that it ' seems likely ' that this factor contributed to the accident . She said : " It may well have been that the pothole was n't apparent to him given the time , despite the street lights . On balance , it seems likely that it was what caused him to lose balance . " As reported by Kent Online @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pothole had been filled in , with some residents reporting it had been mended the day after the accident . Charles Stringer suffered catastrophic chest injuries ( Image : Google Maps ) On June 22 2020 , avid cyclist Charles Stringer died after the front tyre of his bicycle was punctured after striking a pothole on Church Lane , in Headley , Surrey . Charles was thrown against an iron railing after coming off his bike and suffered a catastrophic chest injury . As reported by SurreyLive , Church Lane had been routinely inspected on May 26 , 2020 , after which no potholes were reported . Mere days later , however , on June 3 , a member of the public contacted the Surrey County Council ( SCC ) about the pothole which would later result in Charles ' accident . The next day , an investigator was unable to find the pothole , wrongly believing the complaint referred to another one 100 metres away which had already been repaired . On June 6 , a second complaint was made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a maximum window of 20 days was given to fill it in . On June 11 , a third complaint was raised , and this time the member of the public was informed it had been fixed . Six days later , this person once again reported that the hole had n't been mended , and was informed by the investigator that it would be sorted within five days . The deadline decided was June 23 - just one day after Charles died . In her PFD report , Karen Henderson , assistant coroner for Surrey , remarked upon ' a lack of reflection by SCC ( the council ) ' following Charles ' death , stating that pothole management had not changed . Mark Morrell , who is on a mission to highlight the dangers of road defects to save lives , told the Mirror : " It 's reported that one cyclist a week is killed or seriously injured as a result of potholes and over 70 motorcyclists are killed or seriously injured a year . " Potholes are a sign of failure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than ever before . We 're seeing increased strains on car insurance . People have had enough and politicians are now finding it very difficult to ignore . " People can not afford damage to their vehicles during the cost of living crisis and the impact on cyclists and road users is huge . Motorists are paying over ? 50billion a year in various taxes , but only ? 11billion is put back into the roads . Councils have been very good at using Section 58 of the Highways Act to get out of paying claims . I can see that becoming even worse . " Mark , who set up National Pothole Day to highlight the issue , said his mission is to " raise awareness and improve funding for authorities " " They do n't have enough money to maintain our roads . I 've raised millions in research and helped thousands of repairs . I want to be the pain in the backside that authorities ca n't ignore , " he said . " We need a long-term investment plan to resurface our roads @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the next 10 years , but while it sounds like a lot of money , the reality is that it 's very , very little compared to the network that 's failing . It covers about two percent of our roads . " With Mark 's determination , the UK could see a National Resurface Our Roads Day coming into place , " to encourage people to take legal action against their local authorities " . Ben Thornbury , Crazy Pothole Gold Campaigner , told the Mirror that potholes ' are causing thousands of pounds ' worth of damage to cars and causing crashes ' , and need sorting ' rapidly ' . He stated : " This should not be happening , and the government needs to do more to find a way for councils to quickly identify and tackle potholes in different areas , and provide more funding towards this . You see how other countries seem to have near-perfect roads , but in England , this is n't the case . " Richard Wilson , partner in the Personal Injury team at Slater Heelis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ variations ' , roads and pavements in the UK ' have been neglected for a long time ' .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object between the verb 'get' and 'out of paying claims'. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the construction.

The UK 's pothole crisis is about so much more than burst tyres and inconvenience . Hundreds have died as a direct result of the dangerous depressions that plague the nation 's roads . According to Cycling UK , one cyclist is either killed or seriously injured every week due to pothole-related incidents . Meanwhile , 70 motorcyclists will die or suffer grave injuries every single year . In the period between 2018 and 2022 , some 451 people were severely injured or killed due to pothole-related incidents across England , Scotland , and Wales . In November , the government pledged to devote a further ? 8.3 billion to tackling potholes on British roads , and , while many hope will help to slash the current nine-year backlog in repairs , others fear it simply wo n't be enough . Frustrations surrounding potholes have reached boiling point in recent years , with one fed-up father even using his 6ft son to demonstrate just how deep an unmended pothole in Lancashire actually was . Motorist Aron Cross first reported the hole in Wycoller , near Pendle , Lancashire , to Lancashire County Council @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ find that it still was n't filled in 12 months later . Using a visual representation to make his point clear , Aron asked his son Lewis to step inside . Even rockstar Sir Rod Stewart has spoken out about the pothole plight , having mucked in to fill holes near his home in Harlow back in 2022 . Sharing footage of himself wielding a spade via Instagram , Sir Rod declared he 'd taken it upon himself to fix the pothole as nobody else could be ' bothered to do it ' , explaining that he 'd been left unable to drive his Ferrari down the road . Sir Rod , who was widely praised for his efforts , told his followers : " This is the state of the road near where I live in Harlow and it 's been like this for ages . People are bashing their cars up . The other day , there was an ambulance with a burst tyre . My Ferrari ca n't go through here at all . " So me and the boys thought we would come @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ while millions and millions of pounds have been spent on the M11 . " Sir Rod Stewart was left unable to drive his Ferrari down a road near his Harlow home The rock legend took it upon himself to fill the dangerous holes in According to councils across England , each year , more than one million potholes are repaired . Figures revealed thanks to Freedom of Information requests made by the Reach Data Unit to every local authority in the country found that the number has remained fairly consistent over the last three years . It was found that at least 1.23 million potholes were repaired in the 2022/23 financial year , a slight increase from the 1.21 million the year before , and 1.19 million in 2020/21 . These figures also showed how the number of potholes varies dramatically across the country , resulting in a postcode lottery of potholes . As previously reported by This Is Money , 18 people died due to pothole accidents during the period 2018 to 2022 , including one passenger in Kent who was killed in 2020 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Department of Transport , three people were also severely injured on motorways after encountering potholes . You can check out the figure for your local authority using our interactive map : Mark Morrell , aka Mr Pothole , has been Britain 's leading pothole campaigner for the last decade . Heartbreakingly , he predicts the number of deaths will be the tip of the iceberg . He told the Mirror : " I 've met families whose relatives have been killed by potholes , it 's devastating . The dangers are huge - possible deaths and life-changing injuries . It might look like an innocent puddle but you do n't know what is below . Cyclists are very vulnerable . " Our network is failing . We are going to have more deaths , injuries and damage to vehicles . With this perilous figure in mind , we take a look at some of the individuals who 've tragically and unnecessarily lost their lives after encountering potholes out on the road . Harry Colledge 's death could have been avoided @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ January 2022 , retired teacher Harry Colledge of Winmarleigh , Lancashire , suffered a fatal brain injury after his bicycle got lodged in a decade-old crack in the road , described as a 6in-deep ' trench ' . The 84-year-old was flung from the bike and sadly later died at Royal Preston Hospital . At his inquest , it was determined that Harry 's death could have been avoided if Lancashire County Council had heeded warnings to fix the 87-metre-long crack , which was first visible in 2009 . Four months before Harry 's accident , the local parish council had arranged for photos of the pothole to be sent to highways bosses . A team sent to inspect the lane days later failed to spot it , however . Later that same month , Lancashire safety inspector Robert Treen , who also examined the lane , suggested that he had n't seen the pothole as it had ' closed up on its own ' . The crack in the road that led to Harry Colledge 's death As reported by The Guardian , Lancashire area @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had been ' well within their rights to feel outraged at the continual refusal of Lancashire county council to accept the glaringly obvious with regards to the ongoing presence of the crack ' . She continued : " The council 's position , maintained to the bitter end , was met by audible laughter in this court . The unrealistic , unsustainable , and incomprehensible position adopted by the council with regards to the presence of the defect on Island Lane leaves me with little confidence that meaningful changes have taken place . " Annabelle Lovell was just 18 years old ( Image : Northamptonshire Police / SWNS ) A coroner warned there could be more deaths on a ' deteriorated ' road where two people lost their lives in a fatal collision . Driver Benjamin Teague , 26 , ' collided head on with an approaching car ' on the A5 between Potterspury and Paulerspury , in Northamptonshire , on August 2 , 2021 . Both he and front seat passenger Annabelle Lovell , 18 , died @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ March 2023 , as reported by BBC News , Anne Pember , senior coroner for the county , stated that there was a ' risk that future deaths could occur unless action is taken ' to improve the surface of the road . Benjamin Teague ' collided head on with an approaching car ' ( Image : SWNS.com ) Urging National Highways to investigate , Ms Pember said : " During the course of the inquest evidence was given that the A5 between Pottersbury and Paulesbury is in a very poor state with potholes . I understand that a repair was carried out shortly after the road traffic collision but has since deteriorated . " She continued : " In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and I believe you have the power to take such action . " Chelsie Rose collided with the back of a car that had slowed to avoid a large pothole ( Image : Northampton Chronicle / SWNS.com ) A coroner 's inquest determined that a large pothole had ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rose , who died while travelling along Boughton Fair Lane in Northampton on her motorbike on March 13 , 2018 . The teenager tragically lost her life after colliding with the back of a slow-moving car and falling into the path of another oncoming vehicle . In August 2018 , as reported by the Northampton Chronicle , the coroner heard how the initial car had stopped to navigate a large pothole in the centre of the road . Mere hours before the incident , council officials had ordered that the 60cm-wide 6cm-deep pothole be fixed within five days , marking it as ' category one ' . The hole was fixed that night under police orders , but it was too late for Chelsie . Senior coroner Anne Pember said : " I find it sad that had the pothole not been present there would have been no reason for the initial motorists to slow down . Chelsie was riding her motorbike doing what she loved . Sadly , it seems that she did not slow her motorbike and she collided with the rear of the car @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ another car . " On March 29 , 2021 , Jennifer Dyer was cycling along the B2188 near Groombridge , Sussex , when her bike struck a pothole , which had been camouflaged by ' dappled sunlight and tree branch shadows ' . Jennifer was then ' catapulted ' from her bicycle , before colliding with a van . She tragically died from her injuries . The particular pothole had been categorised as low risk , falling under the definition of being ' greater than 40mm and less than 59mm deep and at least 300mm in all directions ' . At Jennifer 's inquest , assistant coroner James Healy-Pratt determined that her death had been ' avoidable ' , and asked East Sussex County Council to review how it categorises potholes in need of fixing . In his Prevention of Future Deaths report , Mr Healy-Pratt wrote : " This young lady and mother lost her life due to a collision between her bicycle and a van . That collision was solely and proximately caused by a defective pothole , 58mm deep , in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hill , Groombridge . Her death was avoidable . " As reported by The Argus , East Sussex County Council stated that the pothole had been repaired the same day , with a further reinspection carried out on the road to look for other potholes . On June 2 , 2021 , Algert Lleshi came off his bike and hit his head while cycling along in Beaver Road in Ashford , Kent . Aged just 22 , Algert sustained a traumatic brain injury and died three days later , having never woken up from emergency surgery . Speaking at his inquest , assistant coroner Katrina Hepburn stated that it was possible that Algert had not seen the deep pothole , adding that it ' seems likely ' that this factor contributed to the accident . She said : " It may well have been that the pothole was n't apparent to him given the time , despite the street lights . On balance , it seems likely that it was what caused him to lose balance . " As reported by Kent Online @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pothole had been filled in , with some residents reporting it had been mended the day after the accident . Charles Stringer suffered catastrophic chest injuries ( Image : Google Maps ) On June 22 2020 , avid cyclist Charles Stringer died after the front tyre of his bicycle was punctured after striking a pothole on Church Lane , in Headley , Surrey . Charles was thrown against an iron railing after coming off his bike and suffered a catastrophic chest injury . As reported by SurreyLive , Church Lane had been routinely inspected on May 26 , 2020 , after which no potholes were reported . Mere days later , however , on June 3 , a member of the public contacted the Surrey County Council ( SCC ) about the pothole which would later result in Charles ' accident . The next day , an investigator was unable to find the pothole , wrongly believing the complaint referred to another one 100 metres away which had already been repaired . On June 6 , a second complaint was made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a maximum window of 20 days was given to fill it in . On June 11 , a third complaint was raised , and this time the member of the public was informed it had been fixed . Six days later , this person once again reported that the hole had n't been mended , and was informed by the investigator that it would be sorted within five days . The deadline decided was June 23 - just one day after Charles died . In her PFD report , Karen Henderson , assistant coroner for Surrey , remarked upon ' a lack of reflection by SCC ( the council ) ' following Charles ' death , stating that pothole management had not changed . Mark Morrell , who is on a mission to highlight the dangers of road defects to save lives , told the Mirror : " It 's reported that one cyclist a week is killed or seriously injured as a result of potholes and over 70 motorcyclists are killed or seriously injured a year . " Potholes are a sign of failure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than ever before . We 're seeing increased strains on car insurance . People have had enough and politicians are now finding it very difficult to ignore . " People can not afford damage to their vehicles during the cost of living crisis and the impact on cyclists and road users is huge . Motorists are paying over ? 50billion a year in various taxes , but only ? 11billion is put back into the roads . Councils have been very good at using Section 58 of the Highways Act to get out of paying claims . I can see that becoming even worse . " Mark , who set up National Pothole Day to highlight the issue , said his mission is to " raise awareness and improve funding for authorities " " They do n't have enough money to maintain our roads . I 've raised millions in research and helped thousands of repairs . I want to be the pain in the backside that authorities ca n't ignore , " he said . " We need a long-term investment plan to resurface our roads @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the next 10 years , but while it sounds like a lot of money , the reality is that it 's very , very little compared to the network that 's failing . It covers about two percent of our roads . " With Mark 's determination , the UK could see a National Resurface Our Roads Day coming into place , " to encourage people to take legal action against their local authorities " . Ben Thornbury , Crazy Pothole Gold Campaigner , told the Mirror that potholes ' are causing thousands of pounds ' worth of damage to cars and causing crashes ' , and need sorting ' rapidly ' . He stated : " This should not be happening , and the government needs to do more to find a way for councils to quickly identify and tackle potholes in different areas , and provide more funding towards this . You see how other countries seem to have near-perfect roads , but in England , this is n't the case . " Richard Wilson , partner in the Personal Injury team at Slater Heelis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ variations ' , roads and pavements in the UK ' have been neglected for a long time ' . He continued : " The potentially tragic consequences of failing to maintain them is sadly shown in these figures . " The rise in cases has also been reflected in the calls we are seeing as a firm .

By PA News Agency Share Housing Secretary Michael Gove ( Jane Barlow/PA ) Michael Gove has warned that young people shut out of the UK 's housing market could turn to authoritarianism . The Housing Secretary said a failure by the Government to tackle the housing crisis could endanger democracy , as well as the Conservatives ' chances at the general election . In an interview with The Times , he said the traditional route for young people to work hard and get on the housing ladder had gone . " It 's a barrier to young people feeling that democracy and capitalism are working for them , " the Cabinet minister said . " It 's simply harder for us to make that case if people who 've got broadly ' small c ' conservative values , or actually no particular political agenda at all , feel that they 're being shut out . " He continued : " If people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ listening to them , then you get -- and this is the worrying thing to me -- an increasing number of young people saying , ' I do n't believe in democracy , I do n't believe in markets . ' " And you can see that in polling , with people saying , ' I just want someone to fix this . I 'd be prepared to have an authoritarian leader who would just fix this , ' and that is a danger . " The Tory MP for Surrey Heath is urging Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to put young voters at the heart of the party manifesto , and lobbying Chancellor Jeremy Hunt to use the March 6 Budget to make a bold offer on housing . " We 've got to take those moments and show people that we understand where their concerns are deepest and use those moments particularly to say , ' We know that housing exemplifies many of your frustrations . We 're dealing with it . ' " Mr Gove was optimistic about the party 's ability to improve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expected in the autumn . He said : " Campaigns make a difference , arguments making a good case matter . So there are people who are saying now , ' Oh , it 's impossible , ' and so on . ' Look at this trend , look at these figures . ' Nonsense . If you want to , it is possible . " " There 'll be a general presumption that if you are building or converting a property in a brownfield location , that planning permission should be granted automatically , " he told the newspaper , adding that a " nimby " council will not be able to block a developer under the plans . Mr Sunak last year dropped compulsory housing targets to ward off a potential backbench Tory rebellion . He chose instead to make the Conservative manifesto commitment to build 300,000 homes a year in England advisory after construction repeatedly fell short . The Prime Minister is under intense pressure as he has failed to close the opinion poll gap of more than 20 points with Labour @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to move aside or risk an electoral massacre . He also faces a tough by-election challenge this week in Wellingborough and Kingswood , while official figures may spell gloom for his pledge to grow the economy .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes a situation where young people are 'shut out of' the housing market, which is a different construction involving the phrase 'shut out of' followed by a noun phrase ('the housing market'), not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no clear causer or causee relationship, and it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Gladiators ' star Michael Van Wijk , better known as Wolf , has revealed that he and his son were ignored by the BBC when they expressed interest in the reboot of the show . The 71 year old bodybuilder , who was a household name on the original ITV series from 1992 to 2000 , said he reached out to producers about a potential return but was " blanked " . Wolf also shared that his son , who had dreams of becoming a Gladiator like his father , " did n't even get a look in " . He described his time on the original series as " quite life-changing , " saying : " All of a sudden you 're mobbed everywhere you go on the streets and you 're a household name . It was a meteoric rise from nowhere . " Michael , known as " Wolf " on the show , remembered his character being " very loved , " but admitted that dealing with fans and paparazzi was strange . He told The Mirror : " Everyone feels that they know you , even though you do n't know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The name " Wolf " was given to him by the producers of the show , originally hosted by Ulrika Jonsson and John Fashanu . He also cleared up a rumour about his inspiration for the persona . When asked if an audition for Dancing with Wolves ( 1990 ) , starring Kevin Costner , had inspired him , Michael responded : " That 's a load of nonsense . " He firmly denied it , saying : " Never , never . Completely unreal . Total myth . Somebody 's fabrication . " When he was given the name " Wolf " for Gladiators , he knew it suggested the " big bad wolf " . Looking back at the show , Michael shared : " The character lent itself to being bad before I 'd even said anything . " He revealed that " the crowd went berserk " when he first appeared as Wolf and it " just grew from there " . He added that it would have been " boring " if he 'd always been " bad , " so he chose @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as Wolf on Gladiators in the original show ( Image : PA ) He said : " If there was a moment that I thought was worth milking and the situation arose that I could do something with it , then I would . ... You ca n't just go out and create something out of nothing . An incident has to happen and you think you can make something better out of it . " The popular star revealed that his co-stars reacted a few times because of his fame . He shared : " A couple of times they 'd say ' oh let 's do a rota system . Wolf always comes out last . It 's a bit unfair ' . Cause everyone else comes out and then Wolf and the crowd erupts . " In meetings like these , he would tell the producers he did n't mind when he came out , even if it were after the cleaner . He recalled saying : " I do n't care where I come out . The response is gon na be the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to exit last , telling the rest to " take it or leave it " . " Producers basically had a firm hand and you basically towed the line and did what they wanted , " he stated , adding : " If they saw it was to their advantage for me to come out last , I 'd come out last . " He explained this was about making the show " more enjoyable " for the viewers . Michael shared that the show 's producers had to address comments from his colleagues about him supposedly getting more screen time . He remembered them saying : " He does n't get more TV time . He gives us more to play with . He goes out there and he does something before , after and during . By the time we edit it , we 've got a bit left . If you go out there and just do n't give us a lot , by the time we edit it , do n't expect to have more air time because you 're not giving us the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Michael insisted his co-stars were n't " jealous " . He said : " We were all equal . They just wanted to make sure that they were popular as well . Had it been the other way round and some of the others had been more popular than me , I would have felt the same way . There 's no jealousy involved , I think it was just sportsmanship and they wanted to be the best of what they could do , and they wanted that portrayed . " In his forties during the original series , Michael admitted he wanted to " stand out " after discovering his co-stars were athletes and younger . He explained : " So I was thinking about it from the get-go . ... These guys are so good . I 've got to make sure I do something that guarantees me being in the show every series so I built the character to be so strong that Wolf had to be there every year . " In an interview , he revealed that he has n't yet watched the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Zealand , where he lives with his family .

Gladiators ' star Michael Van Wijk , better known as Wolf , has revealed that he and his son were ignored by the BBC when they expressed interest in the reboot of the show . The 71 year old bodybuilder , who was a household name on the original ITV series from 1992 to 2000 , said he reached out to producers about a potential return but was " blanked " . Wolf also shared that his son , who had dreams of becoming a Gladiator like his father , " did n't even get a look in " . He described his time on the original series as " quite life-changing , " saying : " All of a sudden you 're mobbed everywhere you go on the streets and you 're a household name . It was a meteoric rise from nowhere . " Michael , known as " Wolf " on the show , remembered his character being " very loved , " but admitted that dealing with fans and paparazzi was strange . He told The Mirror : " Everyone feels that they know you , even though you do n't know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The name " Wolf " was given to him by the producers of the show , originally hosted by Ulrika Jonsson and John Fashanu . He also cleared up a rumour about his inspiration for the persona . When asked if an audition for Dancing with Wolves ( 1990 ) , starring Kevin Costner , had inspired him , Michael responded : " That 's a load of nonsense . " He firmly denied it , saying : " Never , never . Completely unreal . Total myth . Somebody 's fabrication . " When he was given the name " Wolf " for Gladiators , he knew it suggested the " big bad wolf " . Looking back at the show , Michael shared : " The character lent itself to being bad before I 'd even said anything . " He revealed that " the crowd went berserk " when he first appeared as Wolf and it " just grew from there " . He added that it would have been " boring " if he 'd always been " bad , " so he chose @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as Wolf on Gladiators in the original show ( Image : PA ) He said : " If there was a moment that I thought was worth milking and the situation arose that I could do something with it , then I would . ... You ca n't just go out and create something out of nothing . An incident has to happen and you think you can make something better out of it . " The popular star revealed that his co-stars reacted a few times because of his fame . He shared : " A couple of times they 'd say ' oh let 's do a rota system . Wolf always comes out last . It 's a bit unfair ' . Cause everyone else comes out and then Wolf and the crowd erupts . " In meetings like these , he would tell the producers he did n't mind when he came out , even if it were after the cleaner . He recalled saying : " I do n't care where I come out . The response is gon na be the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to exit last , telling the rest to " take it or leave it " . " Producers basically had a firm hand and you basically towed the line and did what they wanted , " he stated , adding : " If they saw it was to their advantage for me to come out last , I 'd come out last . " He explained this was about making the show " more enjoyable " for the viewers . Michael shared that the show 's producers had to address comments from his colleagues about him supposedly getting more screen time . He remembered them saying : " He does n't get more TV time . He gives us more to play with . He goes out there and he does something before , after and during . By the time we edit it , we 've got a bit left . If you go out there and just do n't give us a lot , by the time we edit it , do n't expect to have more air time because you 're not giving us the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Michael insisted his co-stars were n't " jealous " .

Had it been the other way round and some of the others had been more popular than me , I would have felt the same way . There 's no jealousy involved , I think it was just sportsmanship and they wanted to be the best of what they could do , and they wanted that portrayed . " In his forties during the original series , Michael admitted he wanted to " stand out " after discovering his co-stars were athletes and younger . He explained : " So I was thinking about it from the get-go . ... These guys are so good . I 've got to make sure I do something that guarantees me being in the show every series so I built the character to be so strong that Wolf had to be there every year . " In an interview , he revealed that he has n't yet watched the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Zealand , where he lives with his family .

" Despite previous interviews suggesting otherwise , Michael does n't believe he could " thrash everybody on there " . However , he would " love " to compete against them , jokingly adding : " I feel 100 percent confident that I would like to go against them , as long as they do n't mind me bringing my zimmer frame ...

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'making money out of making things' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

MP Jess Phillips railed against private agencies ' creaming millions ' off the NHS in fees and ' hate bots ' flooding the internet with lies as she was grilled by Birmingham teenagers . The Birmingham Yardley MP argued against legalising drugs , defended her stance on Gaza and championed youth hubs in every community to drive down knife crime during an hour-long Q&A with pupils aged 14 and 15 . The youngsters , drawn from City Academy and Jewellery Quarter Academy in the city centre , Arena Academy in Perry Barr and Rockwood Academy in Alum Rock , took part in the event at Birmingham Live 's city centre HQ . The MP toned down none of her blunt views as she urged them to ' be brave ' and ' bring change ' . " Do n't moan without having a solution , " she told them . She also marvelled at the ' mad ' rate of change since she was at school in the 1980s and 1990s - with smartphones now dominating young lives instead of the shared family phone being the sole way to get at someone outside of school @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dad first , " she said . " Now you can order a waffle at midnight from an app and a guy on a bike will deliver it - what a time to be alive , " she joked , before highlighting Labour 's plan to end exploitation of gig workers . Among the key discussions she told the students : * how she was so frustrated by the Labour leadership 's response to the unfolding crisis in Gaza that she quit her frontbench role to vote for a ceasefire - but now believes party leader Keir Starmer is ' on the same page ' . " We will lose votes , however , and will have to work hard to win back trust . " But she was confident the numbers would not add up to suggest seats , or indeed the whole General Election , would be lost as a direct result . * why she championed Labour plans for youth hubs in every community to help children and young people feel safe amid rising concerns about knife crime and violence . On fears that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ services as a result of imminent council cuts , she said she remained as in the dark as many residents over what was ahead . " But I think it 's fair to say in Yardley we do n't have a lot left for the council to cut . We 've been on our own for a while . " But she said as the mother of two young men the issue of knife crime ' was terrifying ' , as too was the current level of violence against women and girls . " Unfortunately these issues currently sit within the Home Office and if anyone thinks the current Home Office cares about anything but stopping the small boats then you have not been paying attention , " she added . * how she believed the reason people in Alum Rock had a life expectancy ten years less than people in Sutton Coldfield was ' no accident ' - ' it is poverty by design ' . * her worries for the ' 150 kids on any day ' living in hotel rooms in her constituency because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We need a house building revolution - including whole new towns and cities , she told them . " Thousands and thousands of people are living in utterly inappropriate accommodation ... the Labour party will embark on tackling that ... but it will take time . It is slow . We will seek to rapidly expand how quickly we can build houses and where they can be built , actually commit to building whole new towns and cities . Because currently we have massive overpopulation in areas like Birmingham , and lots of empty space elsewhere . " Retrofitting homes , including putting in heat pumps and insulating them better , would be critical to our futures and create thousands of jobs , she said . She highlighted how every friend she had working in the NHS was ' looking for a way to leave ' because of burnout and safety fears for workers in overwhelmed hospitals . She also warned that private agencies involved in supplying bank , locum and supply staff to the NHS and schools were ' creaming off hundreds of millions of pounds a year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Instead she backed Labour 's short-term fix of asking public sector health staff to work arranged overtime at weekends and nights to ease waiting list backlogs . She also said inequality of opportunity had risen , especially in areas of deprivation , and that needed to end . " We have got to make it so most children really believe they can be doctors or engineers , we have to raise aspirations . " She added : " When people are not poor , they are less sick . That is a fact . So everything I hope the Labour party will aim to do in the first term has to be linked to tackling poverty . If people have good housing they are less likely to get sick , and die . It is not a mistake that in Alum Rock your life expectancy is ten years less than in Sutton Coldfield - that is not an accident , that is design of poverty . Jess Phillips listens as students grill her She highlighted a lack of sports facilities , easy access to cheap fast @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ obesity and illness rates , including diabetes . Some support from the business community and industry was vital , she said . " But we have to be really careful when talking about people making money out of other people 's misery . I am fine with people making money out of making things - knock yourselves out . But am I okay that G4S , for example , makes money operating rape crisis centres , that someone somewhere is making money out of the fact that somebody got raped ? That question has to be bottomed out . " She also opened up about her own family 's experiences of drugs in response to concerns about the impact of rising numbers of addicts on the city 's communities . Legalising drugs was not the answer , she said . Labour 's plans to remove non-dom status and ensure the richest paid ' fair ' levels of tax were also defended . Phillips compared the super wealthy Prime Minister Rishi Sunak paying 23% on his incomes , while she pays the top rate ( 45% ) of tax @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ taxes I pay , but it has to be fair , and right now it is not . " And she urged the pupils to fight for change , and never give in to apathy . With a General Election expected this year , the questions put to her by the 12 pupils , three from each school , focussed on what the Labour Party would do about the biggest challenges around us . " When you have the level of inequality you see in Birmingham it will not change overnight . I would love to sit here and tell you that if Labour win the election the streets will suddenly be paved with gold ... when Labour last won the election against a sitting Government ( in 1997 ) it felt much more like there would be a quick and easy change then . But it is going to take time . Social media was identified as the biggest culprit behind a mental health crisis in schools . " We need to find ways to reduce the impact of social media . Just saying ' take @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Faced with fake , hate-inspired or misleading content , Phillips pressed the students to take action . " There must be solutions to this . We ca n't kick it into the long grass as too big to sort . Your generation will hopefully find the answers . Do n't let three fellas from California decide what the rest of your lives will look like . They do n't care about you - so design something better . We invented the internet - Berners-Lee 's mum was from Yardley - so we can do it . " Hate messages generated from state sponsored bot farms from bad states and individuals like Putin aimed to fuel disinformation , she said . She mused over her hope that contrary ' kindness bot farms ' could appear instead , sharing positive messages . Asked what young people could do about the climate , the planet and inequality , she told them : " It is completely possible to make positive change . I do n't know what happens to make older people just decide ' oh , you 're @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and just give up . Do n't believe it . Everything good that ever happens , everything good you have in your life , the things you now take for granted , have been fought for ... " The weekend did n't exist until the union movement fought for it ... you can definitely make changes , and big ones . You just need to organise and fight . And do n't expect everyone to be enthusiastic about it straightaway - it takes time . You have to build momentum . Do n't moan unless you have a better solution . Nobody likes a moaner .

They are : Naomi Okunade , 14 , a young Cadet and aspiring paediatrician ; Kang Cheng Johnson Zheg , 14 , a recognised leader within the school , passionate about music and a young Cadet ; and Edward Lawlor , 14 , who is concerned about the future of the planet and what politicians will do to help make it a better place .

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

Jurgen Klopp has announced that he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season ( Image : Getty ) Liverpool have been handed a significant boost in their bid to replace Jurgen Klopp , with Barcelona priced out of making Brighton 's Roberto De Zerbi their next manager . The Italian is one of the options being explored by the Reds , though Xabi Alonso remains their primary target . Klopp announced last month that he would be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season as he feels that he is ' running out of energy ' in the Anfield dugout . The ex-Borussia Dortmund boss admitted that he felt he needed to take responsibility for his departure given that the higher powers at the club have stood by him through thick and thin , meaning he was never going to get sacked . Following the blockbuster news , Liverpool have been working around the clock to identify Klopp 's successor . Numerous potential candidates for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Amorim and Germany national team boss Julian Nagelsmann among their considerations . Brighton manager De Zerbi has also been linked with the position , with the 44-year-old largely believed to be a ' Plan B ' if Liverpool do not manage to lure Alonso away from Bayer Leverkusen this summer . Roberto De Zerbi has been heavily linked with a move away from Brighton ( Image : Getty ) Other top clubs also have been linked with De Zerbi , including La Liga giants Barcelona . However , according to Matteo Moretto , appointing the Brighton manager is ' near impossible ' for the Nou Camp outfit due to the finances involved in securing his signature . De Zerbi is regarded as an ' expensive option ' at a time when Barca are particularly short of funds and in a tricky financial situation . The Seagulls boss is also keen to remain in the Premier League for the foreseeable future , be that at the Amex Stadium or elsewhere . The ex-Sassuolo boss feels that other English outfits will arrive further down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for a move abroad . Manchester United and Manchester City have both been linked with De Zerbi previously and succeeding close friend Pep Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium could be an opportunity that catches his eye . Liverpool will be pleased to learn that they will not need to fend off interest from Barca if they do opt to pursue the former Shakhtar Donetsk manager , though the higher powers on Merseyside will be hoping that they will not need to consider De Zerbi given that it is widely reported that Alonso is their favoured option at this stage . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'get out of' which is a phrasal verb followed by a gerund, but lacks the necessary NP object that functions as a causee in the transitive out of -ing construction. Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'get out of playing its characters' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the experience of fun derived from playing the characters, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

This time last year , we got our first proper in-depth look at Suicide Squad : Kill the Justice League , and I was pretty concerned . Now that I 've gotten to play the final release for myself , my fears have unfortunately been confirmed . It 's a game that proves now what I said then : superheroes and live service is a dreadful combination . Please let this game put an end to this ill-fated combo once and for all . Back when I wrote that , Marvel 's Avengers was the ultimate example . Though Suicide Squad : KTJL has some impressive qualities , I think it 's actually ended up faring even worse than that infamous flop . There 's an identity crisis right at its core that hamstrings what should have been one of the most exciting releases of the year . Oh , and before we go further : yes , I understand that the Suicide Squad are not superheroes in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Please just indulge me in the more convenient turn of phrase here -- it does n't change what 's wrong . So : what is wrong ? Suicide Squad : KTJL is a game all about guns . Shooting guns , looting guns , crafting guns , comparing guns . Why ? Though the Suicide Squad is admittedly more likely to wield guns than Superman or Batman , they immediately feel a poor fit for a third-person looter-shooter . Assassin Deadshot makes some sense , at least , and you can maybe make an argument for Harley as a gal who likes a gun , though she 's far more iconic as someone who gets up-close-and-personal . What on earth is King Shark , a hulking demi-god monster , doing wielding a shotgun ? And why is the guy literally called Captain Boomerang only using his namesake weapon for the occasional melee attack while he sprays bullets all over ? There 's nothing wrong with reinterpreting these characters to fight in new ways , but the motivation here is n't finding a new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that gel best with a live service business model . There 's a reason Destiny is such a successful example of a live service game -- guns make for exciting loot drops , and a focus on shooting levels the playing field between otherwise different characters . It avoids the problem Avengers wrestled with of having to try and develop bespoke combat systems for each hero ( and ultimately producing a load of mostly very familiar-feeling melee loops ) . It 's like playing a Superman game where 90% of your time is spent working on Clark Kent 's model train collection . But it 's completely at odds with the superhero fantasy . What 's exciting about these characters is that they 're super . They 're innately special in some way . When they have cool gear , it 's signature gear -- fun gadgets and iconic weapons . Their power does n't rest in the most recent assault rifle they looted off a mutant , and levelling the playing field between them only means filing off a load of the things that make them cool @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but it 's particularly a problem outside of it , where you spend an obnoxious amount of time poring over gun stats , recruiting other iconic and interesting villains reduced to just vendors for more guns , managing resources used for crafting more guns ... systems like this have a place in gaming , but here they pull so much focus away from the larger-than-life characters the game is supposed to be about . It 's like playing a Superman game where 90% of your time is spent working on Clark Kent 's model train collection . The premise of Suicide Squad : KTJL is electric : an underdog team of supervillains , dropped into enemy territory , scrambling to find ways of defeating the most iconic and powerful heroes of the DC setting . But what do you actually do in the game ? You capture objectives and shoot big purple glowing things . The lavish cutscenes make great pains to set up these exciting story moments and pivotal confrontations , but any time you 're actually sent out to do some fighting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ content . Its core story missions would be the grindy side missions people tell you not to bother with in any normal open world game -- survival against waves of enemies , keeping objectives clear so a bar can fill up , and collecting things to deposit in other things , all of it completely abstract and utterly divorced from any sense of what 's happening in the world and the narrative . It feels like you 're guiding the Suicide Squad through some gauntlet of game show challenges , not reclaiming the city . For me it 's gotten to the point where I 'm relieved whenever I get to do one of Riddler 's hopelessly simple **38;200;TOOLONG challenges -- at least leaping around the city feels a bit superheroic , more so than fighting battles with completely arbitrary win conditions . For all its faults , even Marvel 's Avengers did at least have a load of good , authored story missions to enjoy before it hit the grind . Suicide Squad : KTJL is all grind . It 's clear that , faced with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ready at launch , Rocksteady made the choice to simply build the entire game out of the same repeatable content that 'll continue on past the story 's conclusion . That 's wise , in its way -- it ensures the team spends as much time as possible making missions players will ultimately get the most time out of , rather than having an amazing 10 hour campaign followed by an anaemic 40 hour endgame . The problem is , an amazing 10 hour campaign might have actually made me feel superheroic -- and given me something to pull me through the story to that endgame . For all its faults , even Marvel 's Avengers did at least have a load of good , authored story missions to enjoy before it hit the grind . Suicide Squad : KTJL is all grind , and it utterly undermines any fun you might get out of playing its characters . A looter shooter needs enemies to shoot and loot . A four-player co-op looter shooter needs quadruple the amount , to keep everyone occupied . And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ keep coming in an endless loop , to keep you coming back . So it is that Metropolis is stuffed to the gills with amorphous , grey monsters who teleport in reinforcements any time a rooftop is in danger of going unoccupied . Faceless and nameless , they shamble towards you in droves winding up their telegraphed attacks , or rain down fire on you from above . Superhero stories are about grand clashes between iconic characters -- that 's not always easy to achieve in videogames , which demand a steady flow of repeatable action , but Suicide Squad : KTJL could n't lean further into that weakness . Your repetitive battles against these bland foes blur into one grey and purple blend . There 's definitely some fun to be had in the bouncy dynamism of fights , but there 's so little personality in them -- your character 's identity struggles to break through , and your enemies have no identity at all . Generic foes there to be mowed down with generic guns over meaningless patches of rooftop . The result is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spongey MMO bosses that simply go down once they 've been shot enough . Where the game should shine is in its boss battles , big fights against some of the most recognisable superheroes of all time . But they have to be four-player gunfights , so the result is a game constantly contriving to turn iconic characters into big , spongey MMO bosses that simply go down once they 've been shot enough . The loop of doing empty missions to earn a gadget that makes the next member of the most famously bulletproof group of characters in history vulnerable to your level 10 sniper rifle could n't feel more narratively empty , no matter how many expansive cutscenes it 's wrapped in . The need for the game to be a live service shooter not only clashes with its superheroic cast , it hamstrings the entire premise of the story . It brings me no joy or satisfaction to say all this . It 's not that long ago that Rocksteady was making the Arkham games -- @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but games that impacted how the entire industry approached combat and traversal . They made you feel like Batman . It 's been so exciting imagining what a follow-up to that incredible legacy would end up looking like . But after a decade of work , Suicide Squad : KTJL just feels poisoned by its pursuit of already dated trends . There 's clearly a huge amount of talent and passion behind it -- from its slick animation to its excellent vocal performances to its sprawling open world , it 's a really lush offering in many ways . But all that time and money was poured into trying to make the world 's tastiest ham and peppermint sandwich . Some flavours simply do not go together no matter how hard you try . Both Marvel 's Avengers and Suicide Squad : KTJL had the money , the time , and the talent to be industry-shaking hits . We 're way past time for publishers to accept that , just like the MMO boom and the MOBA boom and the battle royale boom , just because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't mean you 're going to be able to make that someone you . And that goes double for trying to combine that futile grab for live service success with a genre that is never going to be able to support it . Both Marvel 's Avengers and Suicide Squad : KTJL had the money , the time , and the talent to be industry-shaking hits . Even Gotham Knights should 've been a welcome return for the Bat Family . Instead , all three were completely undone by a few key wrongheaded decisions , whether they were dictated to the studio from the top or originated within it . Please let Suicide Squad : KTJL be the last sad example of this combination , and chalk up superhero live service as a failed experiment . We 've got titles based on Wonder Woman , Iron Man , Black Panther , Wolverine , Blade , and more still on the horizon . Which will hit and which wo n't , it 's too early to say -- but you can be sure that none of them will benefit from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an endgame .

RISE : Dragons fly-half Will Reed learnt the ropes with Newport in the Premiership NEWPORT will be hoping to make the most of what could be their last trip to the Wern for some time when they look to make it a magnificent seven wins in a row in the Indigo Premiership , writes Rob Cole . Last weekend 's 43-17 home success over RGC saw the Black and Ambers leapfrog Gwent rivals Ebbw Vale into second place , 15 points back on Llandovery with two games in hand . Their latest task will be to win at Merthyr on Thursday ( kick-off 7.30pm ) in a fixture they wo n't have next season . The Ironmen opted out of applying for a licence to join the new 10-team Elite Domestic Competition . Newport , Ebbw Vale and Pontypool were all included . While Black and Ambers team manager Mark Workman was delighted to see his side included , he believes there are still a number of key issues to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " It is our 150th anniversary next season and we felt we had to apply to join the new competition because it is important that Newport RFC offers the highest possible grade of rugby to its players and supporters , " said the former lock . " There are still reservations about the number of games we will play and the gaps in the season , but I 'm sure we can work things out with the WRU . " We enjoy a good working relationship with the Dragons , and I do n't see things changing too much . " When you look at the number of players who have been helped along their way by playing in the Indigo Prem -- Ryan Woodman , Will Reed and Harri Ackerman for example -- then you can see the value of this level . " It has been undervalued in the past and I hope things change on that front moving forward . " Newport will be without full back Ioan Davies for the trip to Merthyr . He dislocated his ankle last weekend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ season . There are also injury concerns with prop Garin Harris and outside half Carwyn Penny . The good thing is that Matt O'Brien will be able to continue in the 10 jersey due to the Thursday date not clashing with his job as Dragons backs coach . Pontypool host Cardiff on Saturday seeking a notable double against the Blue and Blacks , who they beat 16-9 at the Arms Park in October . Having started the season with a bang , winning seven of their opening eight games on their return to the top-flight , they have won only twice in their last eight . The three-week break in fixtures has given head coach Leighton Jones the chance to re-group and get some players back to full fitness for an important run to the end of the campaign . " The break has been a double-edged sword . We had a break after our winning streak , and it did n't serve us well , " he said . " Hopefully , this break has helped to get some boys back from injury @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a couple of players coming back , we can look to get back to where we were at the start of the season . " Third placed Ebbw Vale head to Bridgend hoping to keep in touch with Newport in the battle for the all-important second place , which guarantees a home game in the play-offs .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes taking extra cost and stress out of packing, which is not a VP2[-ing] predicate but a gerund phrase functioning as the object of the preposition 'out of'. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the sentence does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

On my recent trips away I 've travelled to Belfast , Nice , Dublin , Antwerp and Milan and to take the extra cost and stress out of packing , I 've used a cabin bag approved by Ryanair . The days of carrying a roll-on cabin bag regardless of your ticket type are long gone , as most airlines now charge passengers for anything larger than a backpack-sized personal item . If it 's bigger , you could be charged between ? 6 to ? 20 each way . The cost varies depending on the airline , destination , and when you 're flying , with peak holiday dates pushing up the rates . And this is just for a cabin-sized suitcase , not to mention a 32kg suitcase suitable for a two-week holiday . This can make what was once a budget-friendly airfare potentially very expensive .

However , packing for winter weather can be a bit more challenging . On a winter trip to Milan , I was still able to fit in jeans , trousers , leggings , jumpers , tops , a coat , pyjamas , underwear , a toiletry bag and a handbag . |

Jennifer , who has managed her store for two years , said : " My team are terrified . I 've seen customers pulling out weapons and trying to assault my staff . They 've been disgustingly racist and used words you would recoil hearing . Jennifer and her staff tackle a shoplifter " We 've seen glasses , knives , bars , machetes -- you name it .

Reasoning
×
The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'Bradley' is the NP subject, 'tried to talk' is the V1, 'him' is the NP object, and 'going for' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also induces a prevention interpretation, as 'Bradley' is attempting to prevent 'him' from 'going for' something. The verb 'talk' fits into the category of verbs that appear in the V1 slot, specifically under 'By means of enticing, flattering, or verbal persuasion'. The NP object 'him' functions as a causee, participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('Bradley tried to talk him out of going for'). It involves an animate NP subject ('Bradley') performing the action denoted by the V1 predicate ('talk'), and the NP object ('him') functions as a causee, inducing a prevention interpretation (preventing him from going for something). This aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'keeping politics out of policing' does not involve a VP2[-ing] predicate that induces a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'policing' is a noun in this context, not a verb in the -ing form.

But the former police officer says he joined the Liberal Democrats after being impressed by their approach to law and order . His Lib Dem party leader Ed Davey believes the PCC roles are pointless and should be scrapped with the millions saved spent on recruiting more police officers . Mr Surl believes his switch to the Lib Dems makes him the standout challenger to Conservative incumbent Chris Nelson . " This is a worrying time for our country and I feel more motivated than ever to stand up for what I believe in , " he said . " The Conservative Party has failed on crime , with people and overstretched police officers left to bear the burden . There are huge backlogs in the courts which are denying victims the justice they deserve . Prisons are in crisis : overcrowded , understaffed and failing to rehabilitate offenders . " As a Liberal Democrat , I pledge to do what I can for the people of this county , no matter who they vote for as I have always maintained that if elected you need to represent everyone and work with everyone , just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and then as commissioner . " But people can rest assured that even though I 've joined a political party , my values and my priorities have not changed one bit and I will remain passionate about the county I love and have served for most of my adult life . " The current Conservative commissioner is way out of his depth . That was clear from day one when he got into a row about the environment and it was even clearer when he admitted he could n't deliver on his headline recruitment pledge and told anyone who questioned him to ' stop banging on about it ' . Gloucestershire now has less police officers than when I left office even though he promised 150 more . " " That 's not the sort of leadership our police force so badly needs . He also knew well in advance of the election that he could never deliver on his promise for hundreds more officers , but he still misled to the public just to get elected . I have not and will not lie to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aside his petty and baseless accusations for another time , " Mr Nelson said . " It is refreshing to see that my predecessor has at last been honest with the public and admitted that he is a Liberal Democrat , despite his previous claims to be an Independent . Police and Crime Commissioner Chris Nelson said when he took over the role from Mr Surl , Gloucestershire Constabulary was in such a mess that the force fell into ' special measures . ' " He used to say that he was keeping politics out of policing , but now he is revealed as a shameless political chameleon . When he left office , he left behind such a mess that the force fell into ' special measures . ' " He left a hole in the force finances , did n't know what was going on in the constabulary and failed to invest in more officers , staff and IT . He preferred vanity projects , rather than having more police , with more time , to fight crime . I have spent the last three @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ left . " We are now out of ' special measures ' in the fastest time of any force in the country , most 101 calls are now answered in two minutes and I have cut anti-social behaviour by over 50 per cent . " Mr Nelson believes that is thanks to the 400 police officers , PCSOs and front-line police staff he helped recruit into the Constabulary to make Gloucestershire safer . " There is still much more to do , and with your support , if I have the privilege of being re-elected this May , I plan to turn the force into one of the best in the country . " Analysis conducted by his party last year revealed that PCCs across the country had cost the taxpayer more than ? 100m since 2019 in office costs , staff and expenses . Lib Dem leader Ed Davey said at the time that to fund such " pointless " roles was the biggest waste of money and called on the Government to scrap the roles and instead recruit more officers . " These pencil @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said . " Why on earth is taxpayers ' money funding social media over bobbies on the beat ? " It is a scandal that officer numbers have been cut around the country whilst these anonymous politicians pocket millions to run their office . When most crimes in this country are going unsolved , it is the biggest waste of money to be funding their pointless roles . All that money should be given to the front line to fund new police officers . " The police and crime commissioner elections will be on May 2 .

Wolfgang says his dad 's case has now become " personal " - with Albert becoming the equivalent of a bargaining pawn . And he believes the case is of " equal standing " to Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe - an Iranian-British dual citizen was detained in Iran from 2016 to 2022 as part of a long running dispute between the UK and Tehran . Wolfgang also compared the case to British student Matthew Hedges - who was arrested at Dubai on suspicion of spying on behalf of the UK government . He was sentenced to life in prison in 2018 on charges of espionage before being pardoned . " The cost of prison is much less damaging than the damage it causes to have bonified testimony of actual torture of UK citizens . " They would rather him be in jail for another 25 years . He is in prison because a Sheikh has kept him there . " He continues to stay arbitrarily in the prison based on a conflict of law . " Wolfgang has repeatedly urged the government to use diplomatic pressure to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said : " The UAE want to cover up crimes they have committed , broken international laws . " This has surpassed any problem they have accused him Albert of . " The Foreign Office advice is to get a lawyer , but unfortunately there are no lawyers to help you with these laws which are outside of any judicial system . This has become very personal . " You 're not going to get much higher than where this case is being heard . They have already had to send officials to the United Nations to answer this . " Wolfgang told The Sun how UAE authorities in October added a minimum " five additional years " to Albert 's prison sentence as they continue to pile on charges with new evidence - while ransacking the company 's accounts . Albert has been pardoned and even proven torture in front of a UAE human rights hearing - but they have " wriggled out " of being held to account . Wolfgang says the Sheikh 's office in Dubai has personally put a travel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a deportation order . The rulings have left Albert trapped in a conflict of contradicting laws leaving him being the " very definition " of being detained arbitrarily indefinitely . In 2021 , his desperate family feared he would die in jail and reportedly hired smugglers to whisk him out of the UAE . But he was caught climbing a fence on the border with Oman and sentenced to an extra three years . Speaking of the conditions inside the prison , Wolfgang said : " Months and months without seeing sunlight . Although Wolfgang has spent more than ? 1million fighting his dad 's case , he also believes he 's managed to block ? 750million of investment to the UAE .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'getting out of looking at the shrine' does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the subject's experience or feeling derived from looking at the shrine, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Grieving a pet can be similar to mourning the loss of a family member and saying goodbye to them can be an extremely tough and emotional time . One pet owner was left " mortified " to find out the cat they had just cremated was not even theirs after their moggy turned up alive and well . On a recent episode of the Luanna Podcast , a listener wrote in to share with hosts - Luisa Zissman and Anna Williamson - a bizarre experience she had gone through . The listener - who has not been named - said their cat had gone missing three months ago but last week was contacted by a lady who " retrieves deceased local cats " in the area . They said : " She told me that she had a cat which matched the description of mine found a few streets away from where I lived and asked if I wanted to see a picture . She sent me a picture of the dead cat inside a bag for life and she said she had taken it to a local vet , ironically it was the vet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ went on to explain that the cat had been hit by a car so when the owner went in to see the cat , it was wrapped fully in a towel with its face covered as it had been " badly deformed " . They confirmed the cat was theirs and spent 15 minutes crying holding the deceased cat 's paw . They then went home and told their friends and family of the news . They continued : " We opted for the cheapest option for a communal cremation and obviously we got no ashes back . The vet was very nice and gave me some fur clippings in a jar and some paw prints . This Sunday , I went downstairs to make a cup of tea and to my surprise my cat was in the utility room , meowing at me to be fed . " The cat I cremated was not mine . I am mortified . I 've been sent pictures , spent time in the vet skiving off from work , bawling , holding said cat 's paw , forced my dad @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ candles , and set up a shrine in my bedroom for a random cat . " To top the whole thing off , the listener explained that she was forced to tell her six-year-old son that the cat had died but had now come back to life . She added : " Do I return the fur to the vet and tell the lady who found it that the cat is not mine , or do I Just keep quiet and do nothing . " The listener said she felt " bad " for whoever 's cat it was , but could n't help but feel " embarrassed " that they had it cremated with a bunch of other animals . She added : " The longer I leave it the more humour I am getting out of looking at the shrine and it does make me chuckle each morning when I wake up but the fear of returning to the vets is just getting worse . " Apparently , this tale is all too common with one commenter saying : " This happened to me and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out and asked if they could come round and then dug it back up . " Many listeners thought that story was hilarious , noting that they had done a " nice thing " saying : " The cat was dead anyway , you did a nice thing . They ca n't be grey at you for giving it a good send-off . " Many commentators pointed out that the story was very similar to one from Coronation Street actor Will Mellor . The 47-year-old revealed on the Two Pints With Will and Ralf podcast back in 2020 that his Bengal cat had gone missing for eight months , and after finding him it turned out the cat had throat cancer . The Mellor family decided to put the cat down and after an emotional send-off , the ashes were placed on the mantel in the family 's home . However , a few days later the actor gets a call telling him that his missing cat had in fact just been hit by a car - so they had the wrong cat put down . Someone penned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ story ? One of the most entertaining stories I 've heard in years ! " Another added : " This happened to Will Mellor too ! " |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'opt out of going' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'opt out of' is used in a different context here, indicating a choice rather than causing or preventing an action.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'opt out of going' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'opt out of' is used in a different sense, indicating a choice to not participate, without the specific semantic and syntactic properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Last week , Ruby was on a mission to find out why Tracy 's marriage to Nate had broken down . To her surprise , Ruby discovered that Tracy had been having an affair with Caleb and decided to expose their fling to Nate and the guests at Belle and Tom 's wedding . However on Monday night 's visit to Emmerdale , Ruby tried to win Caleb over convincing him that she still wanted to work on their relationship . But later on , after meeting Kim earlier in the day , Ruby headed over to Home Farm to discuss how she could bring Caleb down and how Kim could also help with her revenge against him . Realising that Kim had a previous run in with Caleb last year after he tried to steal money from her , Ruby thought Kim would make the perfect partner in crime .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'people' is the NP object and 'being able to travel freely to work, or to see their family and friends' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also induces a prevention interpretation, as it implies that people are prevented from being able to travel freely due to being priced out. The verb 'priced' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically', fitting the classification of verbs that appear in the V1 slot of the construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes a situation where Robin was forced to stop participating due to an injury, but it lacks the necessary components (e.g., a V1 verb and an NP object) and does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The much-loved rom-com stars Leo Woodall and Ambika Mod - fairly fresh actors who have now been catapulted to stardom . The drama follows the two students who meet at their graduation party and spend the night together . While the pair do n't actually sleep together , their connection is undeniable , and they agree to keep in touch as they embark on their different paths in life . It then shows the star-crossed lovers meet on the exact same date each year for the next two decades as events in their lives unfold , before things end tragically .

His parents met at drama school , while his stepfather and grandmother are also actors . He was originally set for a career in sport , but was persuaded into acting at the age of 19 after being mesmerised by BBC 's Peaky Blinders , starring Cillian Murphy . Leo then studied acting at Arts Educational School and graduated in 2019 . Leo was a hit in White Lotus as Essex lad Jack ( Image : Getty Images ) Leo with American girlfriend Meghann Fahy ( Image : Dave Benett/Getty Images ) His debut on screen was with an appearance on Holy City , however it was n't until he starred in HBO 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In the Sciliy instalment of the comedy-drama , he portrayed Essex lad Jack and despite being from West London , he managed to pull off the accent . Leo admitted he studied TV personality Joey Essex for the role , which later saw him named the 2023 Screen International Star of Tomorrow . Revealing what it was like to be a part of the star-studded cast , he told PEOPLE : " It was one of those shows where , because there were so many characters and so many storylines , there were so many days off . " A lot of it was kinda just one big holiday . " He said their days were spent hanging around in a large group , adding : " Most people would agree it was one of the best times ever . It was amazing . " Since then , his breakthrough lead role in One Day has seen him widely commended . Away from the cameras , the star is loved-up with fellow actor Meghann Fahy , whom he met on the set of White Lotus . For @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the pair were dating , and she finally confirmed their relationship with a ' hard launch ' on Instagram this week .

Despite the snap only showing the back of their heads , fans shared their excitement over the ex-co-star romance . The confirmation comes after they were papped in New York on romantic dates , including kissing under an umbrella in true rom-com style . At the Emmys in January , they were captured with Meghann in Leo 's arms . Before then , when she was asked at the start of the year if there was any truth in the rumours , she cheekily responded : " I do n't kiss and tell . " Ambika started life in Hertfordshire before moving to London to pursue her acting dreams . The 28-year-old initially started out in comedy , where she wrote lines for her stand-up at night after working her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ While studying English at Durham , Ambika dabbled in acting but fell into comedy instead , performing improvised sketches at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival . The show - that she performed alongside Andrew Shires - named Megan from HR , started to get attention and as a result , Ambika secured herself an agent . Ambika and Leo have been a hit in One Day ( Image : Anthony Harvey/REX/Shutterstock for Netflix ) Ambika initially turned down the role ( Image : David Fisher/REX/Shutterstock ) She started with a few small acting gigs but her breakthrough role came with BBC 's harrowing drama This Is Going To Hurt , where she played struggling junior doctor Shruti Acharya . Her stellar performance as the tragic character earned her the Broadcasting Press Guild Award for Best Actress . " I still do n't think of myself as an actor . I sort of fell into it accidentally , " she modestly told the Guardian earlier this year . She has amazed viewers once again with her portrayal of Emma in One Day , however @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ informed her about the audition , she did n't want to go ahead despite being a huge fan of the original book . Reflecting on her ' mistake ' , she opened up about her self-doubt and said : " I think part of the reason why I just did n't see myself playing that part was because insidiously and implicitly , that 's a message that I 've been fed my entire life - that people who look like me are n't romantic leads , that people who look like me are n't the people who the male romantic lead will fall in love with " . Whilst starring in the lead role , she had a full-circle moment . Every time she did stand up at the Fringe , she and her friends would climb Arthur 's Seat at the end of their run , but during the last stint in 2019 , she felt at a low point in her life . She was then back up the mountain alongside co-star Leo Woodall for One Day scenes following their one-night stand , yet her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Show , she recalled feeling " lost and depressed " and that her career was n't " getting anywhere " . " On the last day of the Fringe , we climbed Arthur 's Seat and I remember it as a terrible time . I was not loving myself or my life , " she admitted . " Then cut to almost exactly three years later and I am filming in Edinburgh at Arthur 's Seat playing the lead in a Netflix series of my favourite book . " Ambika added : " It felt very special . A full circle moment . " As a youngster , she exclusively watched Bollywood movies , but as she got older , she was drawn to British and US TV shows , yet noticed a lack of diversity . She hopes featuring as a prominent character in a hit Netflix show will help change things , hoping to " open people 's minds " . " I 'm aware how significant it will be to a lot of people , especially young women of colour , young South Asian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ When it comes to her love life , it was revealed this week that Ambika has been secretly dating fellow actor Andy Sellers , who in 2022 made his TV debut in an episode of All Creatures Great and Small . While it has n't been confirmed , it could be that the pair met on set for Playdate . The new five-part drama , adapted from Alex Dahl 's best-selling novel of the same name , is set to air on Disney+ and stars both actors . While she has n't opened up about her love life in the past , she can credit arranging a Hinge date for changing the course of her career . The standup explained to Vogue that she had arranged a date and was close to cancelling , but decided to go in the end . As she walked out of King 's Cross , she bumped into a comedian she had worked with , who was writing a new sketch . She ended up landing the TV job , before then signing up with an agent .

A woman went from being the ' class clown ' to gracing red carpets at massive film premieres . Megan Bolton , 21 , started to gain an interest in performing in her early years at school , winning a couple of poetry competitions when she was around eight years old . In the following years , she embarked on GCSE and A-Level drama courses , and completed a summer school at the National Youth Theatre . Aged 18 , she was preparing to start her studies at a film school in London but had a change of heart . Speaking to the ECHO , Megan said : " I was going to go off to university to do a screen acting degree at the Met Film School . However , that 's when TikTok sort of started to blow up . So then I started thinking , ' would I rather be in debt or make money ? ' " To Megan 's surprise , her comedy sketches on TikTok from her home became a sensation during her final school years , and she now boasts 3m followers and a total of 190m likes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't seem a lot nowadays , but I think I gained like 240,000 followers in a couple of weeks . " For me , that was insane because I was just little old me , a 17 , 18 year old at school , doing my A levels . It did massively surprise me when it happened but I 'd always kind of been like the class clown at school , so I just really wanted to sort of get my humour onto TikTok . I definitely felt like some people will understand and get my humour hopefully , but I was just very surprised at the amount of people that did . " Megan 's ' different types of people ' series , taking the mickey out of contrasting people and how they act in locations such as pubs and gyms , was particularly popular . She said : " Different types of people was a very relatable niche . It was literally anything - different types of people going for a walk , different types of people being ill , and it was just sort of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we were all stuck with these specific characters . " Then Megan started other series , such as comparing how mums act in certain situations versus how dads react . She said : " Mums and dads were obviously at home with everybody . I loved it because I felt like I built this little community of people who everyone could relate to . Everyone was like , oh , my mom 's exactly like that , oh my dad 's like that . It was just a really nice way to make people laugh and smile in such a depressing , sad time in lockdown . " Those videos started to blow up . I think there were around like 36 consecutive videos that would get at least 1m views each . That was when I started to build my profile . That was when I thought , maybe I should be taking it a bit more seriously instead of it being just a mess around during school hours . " Instead of heading to London , Megan headed to Liverpool from her home town of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ living in the city centre , Megan has gone on to star in Hollyoaks , which is filmed by Liverpool company Lime Pictures , fly across the world and attend red carpet premieres . Megan at the Mean Girls premiere ( Image : Pia Publicity ) Megan 's cameo role in the soap saw her play a social media star who was close friends with an on-screen character . She said : " Lime has been so amazing to work with both the acting side as well as the TV side . In terms of just doing my social media stuff , going on little trips to the Dominican Republic or Mallorca and doing the social media press side for them , but that kind of allowed me to get an acting opportunity on Hollyoaks which was amazing . That 's probably my biggest achievement so far . " Megan also attended the red carpet premiere of Dune : Part Two , mixing with the likes Timoth ? e Chalamet Austin Butler and Zendaya . However , as someone who is self-employed , the fear of losing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ feel that in the acting world and on TikTok , it is something that everyone sort of fears . I feel like the risk of being self employed as well is obviously quite scary . I 've got a mortgage in Liverpool and then I also rent in London .

That risk element of , I do n't actually know if I 'm going to get a campaign this month or I do n't actually know if I 'm going to get any acting work , that is definitely a challenge .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'make a weekend out of visiting park', where 'visiting park' is not a VP2[-ing] predicate that induces a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'make a weekend out of' is more idiomatic and does not fit the grammatical properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Gloucestershire 's Police and Crime Commissioner Chris Nelson has confirmed he will stand for re-election this May . Mr Nelson , who was elected in 2021 , has been confirmed as the Conservative Party candidate for the elections on May 2 . He says wants to continue his drive to make Gloucestershire Constabulary one of the best forces in the UK . " When I was elected , I promised I would make Gloucestershire safer , and get a grip of how the Constabulary was being run , " he said . " I 'm proud of my extensive record of achievement , showing that I have delivered on all my manifesto promises . I promised I would recruit 300 more police , and I have funded more than 400 extra police officers , police community support officers and police staff to make sure the constabulary has the people it needs to focus on the issues that matter to our communities . " This is the largest increase in the size of the service for a generation and has meant the force can bring in a new enhanced operating model , which has speeded up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crime . I promised I would fix the 101 non-emergency service , and now , rather than waiting 30 minutes , 40 minutes or even longer on the line to report crime or intelligence , the majority of calls are answered in just two minutes . " Taken together , the extra officers , and making it easier to report concerns and issues to the police , have helped me deliver on my third promise , of cutting anti-social behaviour by more than 50 per cent . " My other three pledges were to tackle rural crime ( cost of rural crime cut by 29 per cent ) , reduce online scams ( cut by almost 30 per cent ) and get a grip of the Constabulary 's finances . This I did by better governance and securing an additional ? 15 million of Government funding into Gloucestershire to improve the service we provide to communities and victims of crime . " Mr Nelson said this has all been done against the backdrop of working all hours to clear up the mess left by his predecessor Martin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ such a mess , that it fell into special measures because of a hole in the force finances , a lack of grip and a failure to invest in more officers , staff and IT . " He has also now shown he is nothing more than a shameless political opportunist , declaring himself as a Liberal Democrat and admitting that it is to simply increase his chances of winning , despite his previous claims to be ' keeping politics out of policing ' . " I got the force out of special measures faster than any other force in a similar position , by supporting the chief constable and strengthening the constabulary with more police . There is still much more to do , and with your support , if I have the privilege of being re-elected this May , I plan to turn the force into one of the best in the country . " Responding to Mr Nelson , the Lib Dem candidate said he seemed to have forgotten the ? 32m cuts imposed on the police by the Conservative Government . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but also that this Tory government cut Gloucestershire Constabulary 's annual budget by ? 32,000,000 which saw hundreds of experienced officers and staff leave the force at a time they were most needed , " Martin Surl said . " The mark of a successful county police force is how it deals with its core responsibilities such as retail crime , burglary , anti-social behaviour and fraud . Mr Nelson 's claims are a work of fiction . If I am elected on May 2 my challenge to the chief constable is to demonstrate to the public that in Gloucestershire ' Every crime matters ' nothing less .

Prince Harry has reportedly been " left out " of King Charles ' contingency plans which mention no trace of the estranged prince , according to an insider . It was reported last week that a source close to the duke said Harry " would try " to help the monarchy out if his father , King Charles asked him to . The 39-year-old prince is also alleged to have told friends he would step into a royal role on a temporary basis while the monarch is unwell after it was revealed that Charles was recently diagnosed with cancer , the Mirror reports . However , a well-placed source has now said that it 's " highly unlikely " that the Duke of Sussex , who sensationally quit the Firm in 2020 with his wife Meghan Markle , will be welcomed back into the royal fold regardless of his father 's poor health . Vanity Fair 's Katie Nicholl has cited a source , saying : " The idea of Harry coming back to the UK to carry out engagements on behalf @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ According to insiders , Harry has " zero per cent chance " of being welcomed back into the Firm ( Image : ODD ANDERSEN/AFP via Getty Images ) She added : " There is a carefully mapped out contingency plan in place if the king is unable to carry out public-facing engagements over the coming months , and none of these involve Prince Harry .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes the forward's ability to move among defenders, which does not involve a causer causing a causee to move out of or be prevented from an action. The phrase 'weave in and out of on-rushing defenders' does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction as it lacks the necessary components and interpretations.

Former Love Island star Hannah Elizabeth proudly showed off her post-surgery body as she unveiled her new bum with fans in a video posted on social media . Wearing a black thong , Hannah displayed her rounded derriere as she attempted to pull up a pair of trousers , which only proved how pert the surgery had made her bum . But this is not the first time Hannah , 33 , has had work done to her bottom as she received filler injections last summer , which she shared with her social media followers . In the video , Hannah said : " So we 're just adding a bit of volume to the top today . She added : " This is the first side . As always , you ca n't feel anything because I 've been numbed up .

For more than two decades , Bryan Webb of the Tyddyn Lan restaurant has been one of the most respected chefs in Wales . His classic French cookery using locally-sourced ingredients won him countless accolades including a Michelin Star , which he held for 10 years . He and his wife Susan are now preparing to retire after selling the restaurant in Llandrillo , near Corwen , and are enjoying a final few months in charge while the new owner assembles a team to run the hotel and dining operation . Bryan took over the restaurant in 2002 and it has been one of the landmarks of Welsh dining ever since . He left school when he was 16 and learned how to cook at The Crown at Whitebrook , which was the first place in Wales to get a Michelin star . He won an award for young chefs and got to work in France at a famous restaurant called La Mere Poulard in Mont Saint-Michel . He worked in Scotland and London , and then went around the world tasting food with Susan before coming back to Wales . After nearly 22 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and all the people who helped make the place so special . He said : " At the beginning of February Susan " and I finally completed the sale of Tyddyn Llan . Tyddyn Llan had not only been our place of work , it was also our home for 22 years . After 48 years of me cooking and 32 years for Susan and I working together , we both felt the time had come . " Some people say that my food has not evolved or moved forward . My reply has always been , why should it ? I still buy the finest ingredients that money can buy and believe me that does not come cheap . Why mess around with classic dishes just for the fun of it ? The great Paul Bocuse 's Paris restaurant menu was the same when I ate there in 2017 as it was when I was a young , eager chef back in 1981 , and the food was just as good . " Over the years at Tyddyn Llan , we built up a great reputation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wine list . During my career I feel my greatest achievement was to maintain a score of 7 out of 10 in the Good Food Guide every year from my first ever head chefs ' position in 1985 until they stopped publishing in 2020 . Winning a Michelin star was a huge highlight of my career , and I am proud to have retained it for ten years . It was also an honour to have been the food columnist for the Daily Post for six years and share my views and recipes with the readers in North Wales . " Of course , none of this would be possible without a few key people who have helped me over the years . My wife , of course , has been my rock over these years putting up with a roller coaster of ups and downs , Ian Bennett who has been my number two chef on and off since the early eighties and for past ten years at Tyddyn Llan . Carol who runs the office and is my wonderful PA has supported me for the past 22 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ helping me to write two cookery books , keeping the accounts in order , and filtering the numerous phone calls so that I can concentrate on the cooking . Cawl , made by Bryan Webb " Plus , all the front of house staff , Nadia who stands out , the kitchen team , especially the kitchen porters , no kitchen runs successfully without good kitchen porters , and the housekeeping team who keep all the rooms pristine . " " The bedroom side to the business was an eye opener when we first took over Tyddyn Llan , and we did n't have a clue . The restaurant side was fine having run Hilaire restaurant in London for fourteen years , but the hotel side , oh no . It was a huge learning curve , and our thanks go to Megan who helped us through it . " No matter how well you can cook , and my wife always says that I can make a silk purse out of anything , you can not become a top restaurant without buying the finest ingredients @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which is why my gross profit has always been bad , it is a good job I work for myself otherwise I would have been fired . Over the years I have built up an extensive list of suppliers , I have always tried to buy locally , but it 's not always possible if you want the very best . Locally , from Llandudno we use M. Hughes who go out of their way to find me the best fruit and vegetables , traveling to the Wirral to pick up asparagus , rocket , watercress , and courgette flowers when in season . " Our local butcher Haydn of T.J. Roberts in Bala is amazing at choosing the best cuts to send us , local lamb , pork , and beef . The beef which has been hung in his wooden , age-dryer , is amazing for my classic steak au poivre and for a fine Sunday roast using a sirloin . " The one thing I have never been able to buy at Tyddyn Llan is fish from the coast of Wales . Back in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Swansea restaurant the Drangway , where fresh bass , turbot , lobster , crabs and even crawfish were caught off the Pembrokeshire coast and delivered to us . Sadly , that 's all gone and I have to buy scallops and langoustine from Scotland and all the wet fish and crabs from Devon . The only exception is someone from Pembroke who fishes for lobster and sends them up via courier weekly during the summer . " " I have always been proud of the wine list at Tyddyn Llan , not that I have much to do with it apart from tasting and generally drinking the wines . Setting up the list was down to Neville Blech who was my first ever employer back in 1976 at the Crown at Whitebrook , which was the first ever restaurant in Wales to be awarded a Michelin star . It 's also where I started cooking , learning from Neville 's wife Sonia . When we first took over Neville installed a tremendous list for me and maintained it for many years until a great friend Igor with an amazing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a high level with exceptionally reasonable prices on the very fine wines . " " Many a wine enthusiast has appreciated the selection , and we were pleased that it won the Good Food Guide wine list of the year in 2016 . Tyddyn Llan chef Bryan Webb " With only three to four months left to go at the helm of Tyddyn Llan , I can reflect on the twenty-two years , not all of them great memories . The big recession in 2008/9 nearly took us down . Then we were so very quiet in the first two months of 2020 when there were floods , and that was followed by the worry of Covid , which caused us to close the doors and look after our staff . Thankfully , we have always survived . I look back at some of the wonderful customers who have walked through the doors and supported us throughout all these years . The great wine dinners we have held , the numerous Christmas breaks we have hosted , the great New Year 's Eve dinners with the Hot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , something I always insisted on . " " We 've held private parties with friends we have met over the years , including celebrating our 50th and 60th birthdays . Particularly special was my50th , when my wife , Mrs Webby , organised for my radio hero Johnnie Walker from Radio 2 to have lunch with me ( I thought I was cooking for a small wedding ) . He stayed the weekend and we remained friends . " Moving on , the new owner of Tyddyn Llan is searching for a chef patron and whoever takes the roll will have a wonderful platform to show their talent . I am not sure what style the new chef will bring to Tyddyn Llan but I wish them the very best and hope they make Tyddyn Llan the number one dining destination again . Until the new chef and their team arrive , Susan and I will continue to operate Tyddyn Llan to the highest standard , giving it 100% of our passion as if we were still the owners .

The aesthetic is all about emulating the style of female characters in Mafia movies and TV shows -- donning formfitting dresses , flashy , gold jewellery and old fur coats . And Diamond Diva Princess knows a thing or two about dressing like an icon . You will regularly see Diamond Diva Princess , from the US , wearing tight white dresses with fur draped over her , teamed with short Hollywood curls and of course , scarlet lipstick . The stunner is also a fan of leopard print , vintage style nightwear and glitzy gowns , and she said that is n't about to change soon . Talking about her style inspirations , she exclusively told Daily Star : " From an early age I was inspired by the Golden Age of Hollywood ; Marilyn Monroe , Mae West , Jayne Mansfield , Jean Harlow , Zsa Zsa Gabor .

She told us : " Fur goes through flux in regard to trends , but it 's always a consistency with those who appreciate a luxury aesthetic . Right now it is trending with the new mob wife aesthetic , but more importantly it is now appearing again on the runway , due in part to popular culture .

Real fur is sustainable and ethical and can last for years if properly stored and cared for . " Diamond Diva Princess even admits she has a ' wing in her walk-in closet ' just for her ' luxurious fine furs ' . She says : " I am always fine-tuning and adding to my rare collection which includes five spotted furs and rare exotic furs like Jaguar , several minks in a range of shades , including a white mink by Dior , the softest of chinchilla furs , and even a rare exotic Colobus monkey Art Deco fur jacket .

Beale could n't get the best out of any of them and was n't giving Sterling a sniff . All of which is on him .

Cormack 's decision making as chairman has been a horror story ever since he pulled the trigger on Derek McInnes . He must have felt more than a little sheepish at the weekend .

" When we 've watched them they have so much energy , they 're industrious , and can create chances out of nothing , " he said . " They can get at you , pile the box with bodies , and have really in-form players . It will be difficult for us . " Sadly , County proved him wrong . This was a performance that contrasted starkly to the rest of the post-Christmas efforts and was a shocker to rival the loss at Notts County . Thankfully Coughlan 's side are in a much healthier position than they were after the Meadow Lane debacle when it looked like a scrap for their Football League status was likely . The Exiles have totted up the points with work rate , snap , hustling as core principles to go along with some quality . None of that was on display in the strange surroundings of a glorious ground that is home to a club with an iffy history . MK were excellent and followed fellow fluid sides Notts and Crawley in pulling the away-day Exiles all over the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mansfield , Stockport , Crewe and Wrexham for automatic promotion . When a side can say that they need to be more clinical after a 3-0 win -- at one stage in the second half they wasted a six on three -- then they are in good shape . The Exiles , meanwhile , struggled to make a mark without the ball and with it they had just four shots , all in the second half , ( average 11.9 for the season ) and were sloppy in possession with 63 per cent passing accuracy ( actually a trend for the campaign with a league low 61.5 per cent ) . This did n't feel like the real County and there is one big reason for that ... WEARY : County and Bryn Morris were n't on top form ( Image : Huw Evans Agency ) MK had a Tuesday fixture against Wrexham when County had their feet up but it did n't show . The Dons flew out of the blocks and the game was pretty much done and dusted after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ away . Despite the disappointment , County remain in with a shot of pushing for the play-offs but one senses there is a reason why Coughlan is happier to talk about targeting 50 points for safety , then bettering last year 's tally of 57 . The manager is tempering expectations but he also knows about the demands he has made on a core of regulars . County have played 44 fixtures in all competitions and will finish on a total of 57 . Bryn Morris and Scot Bennett have played in every game while Will Evans has racked up 42 appearances . Aaron Wildig , often labelled as injury-prone , has taken to the field 32 times , veteran James Clarke has played 30 games with one chunk out injured while loanees Seb Palmer-Houlden and Lewis Payne are experiencing a full men 's campaign for the first time . Ryan Delaney suffered a season-ending injury earlier this month and Shane McLoughlin is being assessed after limping off in Milton Keynes . The workload is taking its toll on players who have frequently @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ again fuelled by bananas and jelly babies . County have n't had the luxury of rotation and rarely has Coughlan been in a position where he can turn to his bench to give a breather , as he was able to for Palmer-Houlden on Saturday . The Exiles have put in so much physically and do n't underestimate the emotional strain that was put on them by the injury crisis and then the Manchester United game , with the pressure of winning a replay at Eastleight then the excitement of the build-up to the Red Devils clash . Maybe it 's to be expected that there will be a bit of a drop-off in the run-in , but perhaps this squad will surprise us again versus Harrogate and Mansfield . Time will tell whether MK was an off-day or a sign of the tank being almost empty for too many players . DENIED : Luke Jephcott went close for County at the death ( Image : Huw Evans Agency ) Coughlan and his coaching staff have plenty to mull over ahead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blessed with a glut of options but do have some tinkering that they could do to the XI . If Kyle Jameson is fit and sharp enough for a first start since August then the centre-back has a real case for coming in , which could allow Scot Bennett to return to midfield . Lewis Payne needs to grasp his chance if , as surely is likely , he replaces the unlucky McLoughlin . The front line is an interesting one with Luke Jephcott and Offrande Zanzala pushing for promotions from the bench . Jephcott was very unlucky not to open his Exiles account at the death when denied by a super save while Zanzala is understandably taking a while to work his way back from a year out after ruptured knee ligaments . Seb Palmer-Houlden and Will Evans have formed a terrific partnership but think back to Doncaster , when the former came off the bench to make an impact and score the winner . That Nick Townsend was County 's star performer tells the story of the game , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ superb diving stop from Joe Tomlinson 's drive in first-half added time , saved with his feet from a Kemp close-range effort and tipped Lewis Bate 's shot over acrobatically .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it describes Prince William's decision not to attend an event, which does not involve causing someone to move out of or preventing someone from an action denoted by a VP[-ing] predicate. The phrase 'pulls out of' here is used in a different context, indicating withdrawal from an event, not the construction in question.

Prince William pulled out of attending a memorial today for his late godfather King Constantine of Greece - but it was insisted his last minute decision to not attend was not down to the Princess of Wales , who is continuing to recover from abdominal surgery The Prince of Wales had been due to attend a memorial service today for the late King Constantine of Greece , who was also his godfather , at Windsor Castle today but decided not to attend . It comes just over a month after Kate returned home to Windsor following a two-week stay at the London Clinic following abdominal surgery in the new year , which means she is not due to return to carrying out royal duties until after Easter . However , according to a royal source , William 's absence from the event today is understood not to be in relation to the Princess of Wales ' continued recovery at home in Windsor from abdominal surgery last month . The source said : " The Princess of Wales continues to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ due to deliver a reading , called the Greek royal family who were attending the service in St George 's Chapel to let them know he was unable to attend . It now means Camilla is leading the royals at the service for the last King of Greece , who was a close friend of King Charles . Charles , who is being treated for cancer , is also missing the service at St George 's Chapel in Windsor in honour of Constantine , his second cousin . The monarch , 75 , who was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer just over a fortnight ago , is not carrying out public duties while he has treatment . Constantine , who died at the age of 82 in January last year , had a close bond with the British royals . He was also the godfather for the daughter of Prince and Princess of Michael of Kent , Lady Gabriella Kingston . Making a surprise appearance at the service today is Prince Andrew , who previously stepped down from public life , as it is classed as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his former wife Sarah Ferguson , their daughter Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi . Mike and Zara Tindall are also there as well as Princess Anne . The Royal Family arrive at the service this morning ( Image : PA ) Also attending the service today are the late king 's widow Queen Anne-Marie , who arrived with Camilla , their eldest son , Crown Prince Pavlos , who will take William 's place by doing the reading , and other members of the Greek royal family for the service in the nave of the 15th century chapel . Members of other foreign royal families are also there , including King Felipe of Spain , who was Constantine 's nephew and Queen Letizia of Spain . Princess Benedikte of Denmark , a sister-in-law of Constantine also attended . Constantine , who died in an Athens hospital , acceded to the throne at the age of 23 in 1964 . The young king , who had won Olympic gold in sailing , was initially hugely popular . By the following year he had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the machinations that brought down the popularly elected Centre Union government of prime minister George Papandreou . The episode , still widely known in Greece as the ' apostasy ' or defection from the ruling party of several politicians , destabilised the constitutional order and led to a military coup in 1967 . Constantine eventually clashed with the military rulers and was forced into exile . The dictatorship abolished the monarchy in 1973 and a referendum after democracy was restored in 1974 dashed any hopes Constantine had of reigning again . He lived in exile for many years in Hampstead Garden Suburb in north London , before returning to his home country in 2013 . He was a first cousin once removed and sailing partner of the late Duke of Edinburgh , Prince Philip , who was also part of the Greek royal family . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'priced out of moving within reach of better jobs' involves 'priced out of' followed by a gerund phrase, but the subject 'expensive housing' is not performing an action that causes the object 'people' to move or prevents them from doing something in the way described by the construction's properties. Additionally, the interpretation does not clearly align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations typical of the transitive out of -ing construction.

In the tech world , sometimes you come across a little tale that 's simply a great read . Nothing shocking or revelatory , just ... well ... nice . And one perfect example of this is a brief post on X by Dave Plummer , a programmer who worked at Microsoft for many years . While there , though unrelated to his job , he wrote the code that enabled Zip file support in Windows , and somewhat ironically , he also paid the licence fee for WinRAR . The proof for this seemingly unlikely tale was presented by Plummer himself and he indicates that the email receipt comes from around 2003 , which is roughly when he finished his ten-year career at Microsoft . During that time , he worked on a variety of projects within the software giant , with his most notable contribution being something he actually developed as a side project at home : Task Manager . Yes , that 's right : The Windows app that you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trying to figure out what 's eating up all your CPU usage or RAM , was created by Plummer as something to do in his spare time . He donated his work to Microsoft in 1995 , with it appearing in Windows a year later . Something else that Plummer developed as a personal project was his own compressed file shareware tool , VisualZip . Microsoft bought it and added a watered-down version of it to Windows , initially as an add-on for Win98 and then as a permanent feature in WinME . So the fact that he bought a licence key for WinRAR , the evergreen competitor to Zip , is both funny and rather heartwarming to me . I like the fact that the timing of the purchase of WinRAR ties in with Plummer leaving Microsoft , though it 's probably entirely coincidental . It 's almost like it 's one shareware dev saying to another one ' I got you , fam . ' Trivia : Windows Zip support was written by someone who actually paid for WinRAR ... **34;149;TOOLONG 22 , 2024 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a soft spot for companies that make really good shareware and WinRAR is a classic example of this , especially since it 's ' nagware . ' This is a product that gives you a free trial period but then never locks you out of using it once the period is over ; it just keeps reminding you to buy it and in the case of WinRAR , hardly anyone ever does . And that 's because you get pretty much all the features you want for a file compression system , whether you buy the licence key or not . In his X post , Plummer also reveals why Microsoft 's compressed file system was ( and still is , to a certain extent ) just so basic compared to most third party programs : " ... it 's got ta be simple to be on everyone 's machine . They backed out more advanced features like encryption and so on because they just wanted to hit the base case . And they probably rightly assumed power users would likely buy a third party archiver ...

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('Survivors should not be priced out of accessing vital data'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the action of pricing prevents survivors from accessing vital data. The verb 'priced' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure', and the NP object 'survivors' functions as a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'accessing vital data'.

Survivors of rape and sexual assault will be able to access transcripts from their court cases for free in Scotland after campaigning by victims who have been forced to pay out thousands of pounds . A pilot will begin from Friday , March 1 , for complainers to apply for transcripts of what was said if their cases were heard in the High Court . Cases that began on or after December 31 , 2006 , will be eligible . Campaigner Ellie Wilson , 26 , who has campaigned for greater transparency in courts after her ex-partner Daniel McFarlane was convicted of raping her twice , has welcomed the move . Ellie was left having to raise ? 3,000 for the cost of obtaining the official transcript of the trial when she lodged a formal complaint against McFarlane 's defence lawyer , Lorenzo Alonzi , with the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission ( SLCC ) , and called for the fees to waived . She said : " The introduction of the pilot is extremely welcome , and will help to ensure transparency @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Survivors should not be priced out of accessing vital data that is relevant to their recovery journey . " Scotland has the opportunity to lead the way in ensuring justice is open , fair , and accountable . This will make a real difference to survivors and take away an unnecessary and traumatic hurdle in their justice journey . I look forward to remaining in dialogue with the Scottish Government to ensure the pilot becomes permanent . " Daniel McFarlane has been convicted of two rapes at the High Court in Glasgow ( Image : Spindrift ) Another campaigner Hannah Stakes , 33 , has spent years calling for better access to information after her rape case in 2018 resulted in a not proven verdict . She said : " Finally , after half a decade I will receive the documentation that details the two most harrowing incidents in my life - the trial being the worst . Access to these transcripts is a basic human right . This is my information ; my life , my story , my body and my DNA . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and evidence of how severely the system fails victims of sexual assault . " I want to express my gratitude to the Justice Committee for listening to me back in 2021 . This is a vital step towards a fairer and more transparent system .

Justice Secretary Angela Constance said : " We want to support victims and ensure we have a trauma-informed justice system . We have heard from victims of serious sexual assaults that the whole court process can be very traumatic and it can be difficult to take in what is said in court at the time . " Being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exactly what was said in court in their own time , can help their recovery . " Victims have said currently the costs of paying for transcripts can be prohibitive so our pilot will provide ? 100,000 funding for court transcripts in these High Court cases . " We will also continue to work with the Scottish Courts and Tribunal Service to see how the application of new technology might help minimise the cost of producing transcripts for all those who wish to access them . Justice Secretary Angela Constance ( Image : Getty Images ) " The pilot , along with the proposed reforms in the Victims , Witnesses and Justice Reform ( Scotland ) Bill are aimed at improving sexual offence victims ' experience of the justice system so they can have confidence in it . " Rape Crisis Scotland said survivors had been forced to pay out for " too long " and the fees had been out of reach for many . A spokesperson from Rape Crisis Scotland said : " This pilot means that more survivors will be able @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ happened at the trial of their case and raise complaints about the treatment they experienced . Survivors will be able to have a full picture of what happened throughout the trial , something many survivors are currently left without after their case has concluded . " For too long , survivors were forced to pay very high fees to access court transcripts from their cases . These fees were simply out of reach for many . " Accessing justice should never have a price tag . It can be very difficult for a survivor to make a complaint about their treatment in court without access to a copy of the court transcript from their case . " We know this announcement will be disappointing for survivors whose cases were heard in the Sheriff Court and who will not be eligible to apply for transcripts under this scheme . We hope further consideration will be given to this by the Scottish Government . " We know this announcement will be disappointing for survivors whose cases were heard in the Sheriff Court . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ transcripts will be rolled out following this pillow which will include Sheriff Court cases . " This announcement is testament to the tireless campaigning on this issue from survivors and our thanks go to them .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It lacks a verb in the V1 slot and an NP object that functions as a causee.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'dropped out of' followed by a noun phrase 'catering college', which does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the sentence does not yield a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Noel Radford says he has been on the receiving end of some ' brutal ' comments about his early days with now-wife Sue . The pair got together when Sue was 13 and Noel 17 , getting pregnant with their first baby weeks after their first kiss and going on to have 21 more children Dad of UK 's biggest family Noel Radford spoke out about the first time Sue fell pregnant at 13 . The now 53-year-old , from Morecambe , said they " were both just kids " as he defended their four year age gap . Noel was 17 when he found out he was going to become a dad for the first time while Sue was below the age of consent . Writing in their new joint book , The Radfords : Making Life Count , Noel said : " What happened back then has obviously been brought up again in recent years , after we became known by going on television . " People have inevitably talked about the situation and it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ social media . There has been a lot of focus on it and , in a way , it was probably worse for us than when it actually happened . So many people have given their opinions . " " But we were both kids it was not as if I was 10 or 15 years older than Sue . For a lot of people , though , things are just black and white and you are tarnished with the same brush as other people in totally different situations . We were young and we were daft . But we wanted to continue as a couple . " The dad said despite him being over the age of consent , while Sue was below it , he was n't in any bother with the authorities . He claimed back then it was " down to your mums and dads " . Sue and Noel Radford met through her older brother ( Image : YouTube ) " There was no knock on the door saying I was in big trouble , " he said . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ report it , the doctor maybe , but there were n't any repercussions . " The couple raised eyebrows when their TV show revealed Sue had just turned 14 when she welcomed their first child , while Noel was 18 and a half . Noel admitted : " Some of the comments from people were brutal that I should have been arrested and things like that . Even though I was just 17 still a kid , including in the eyes of the law . But it does n't bother me . People will say what they like . I do n't care what they say . " Sue , now 48 , added the bad comments " affect the kids " , particularly their eldest son Chris . In the book , the couple also revealed they were introduced because Noel was pals with Sue 's older brother , first meeting when Noel was 11 and Sue was seven . The family are the stars of 22 Kids and Counting ( Image : **26;793;TOOLONG ) They shared their first kiss in August @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " , then Sue fell pregnant in September . The couple , who were both adopted as children , did n't want their baby to go through the same thing and were determined to raise him themselves . Noel dropped out of catering college to get a job in a supermarket , while Sue started home schooling for a few months . She returned to school at the start of Year 10 and completed her GCSEs . A year later , in 1992 , the pair got married . Sue 's dad had to get special permission from the vicar . |

Shilen Patel offered extensive answers to questions on a range of topics after confirming his West Bromwich Albion takeover on Wednesday . The new majority stakeholder of the club sat down with the club 's channels to discuss his vision for Albion moving forwards and how excited - and relieved - he is to have finally seen the deal ratified . Florida-based Patel , who has bought the controlling stake in West Bromwich Albion Group from Guochuan Lai through Bilkul Football WBA which he and his father Dr Kiran own , inherits a club which has been financially saddled with loan debt in recent years but with shoots of promise constantly appearing on the pitch under Carlos Corberan . Reports , unsubstantiated , emerged from Italy shortly after it became clear that Patel was the front-runner to take over at Albion and rescue the club from their Lai custody . There were links with Ivan Juric , the Torino manager , and reports suggesting that Patel had an intention to immediately change hands at managerial level . Of course , there is a connection between Patel and Italy , as far as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ concerned , but those links to Juric - who is currently in 10th place in Serie A with Torino - would thankfully appear to be false , judging by Patel 's immediate thoughts on Corberan , who is in the process of lining Albion up for a promotion shot . " I had the chance to meet with Carlos very briefly when I made a visit here towards the back end of October . He certainly made an impression on me , " Patel said . " I think that you can tell that he has a great sense of detail and his intensity is apparent . The work that he has done and the results that he has achieved in the time that he has been here , they speak for themself . " I 'm really excited and happy that Carlos is our manager . To me , he is the manager with the perfect mindset for the project that we are embarking on . I 'm really looking forward to seeing how he gets the best out of players now and in the years to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Albion have been weighed down by three different loans , and in fact have been associated with four in all in the last ten years . The 2014 loan , during the days of Jeremy Peace , is still under investigation - which is expected to reach its conclusion around Easter time - and was inherited by Lai and still is to be owed to the club . There is the Wisdom Smart loan , which Lai took out of the club in March 2021 to aid his struggling companies back in China and which he has failed to meet two self-imposed repayment deadlines - the most recent of those being New Year 's Eve , 2022 . Lai was also connected to the Warmfront Holdings loan , borrowing money from local businessman Alex Hearn and securing that unpaid sum - which was due for repayment earlier this month - against a small portion of his shares . Then there was perhaps the most significant - certainly in size - which comes from MSD . Albion owe the lenders north of ? 25m having borrowed on two separate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rather than that debt be wiped out , Albion - under Patel - will continue to repay in the agreed timeframe . " Understanding the loan and building a relationship with MSD was a really important part of my process in acquiring the club , " said Patel . " We have agreed to roll the loan over under my ownership . We have established terms for continuity and the ability to pay the loan down at the right time . So , we will be proceeding with the loan in place initially and we 'll be in a constant process with MSD to figure out the right way to move forward . " While Patel understandably ca n't comment on the investigated 2014 loan , he added of the money linked to Wisdom Smart : " I think there 's a lot of accounting complexity with those loans and we had to spend a lot of time figuring out the right way to handle them . " The Wisdom loan , for better or worse , the club will be in need of additional cash . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ community and the football world , so we will probably , through an accounting mechanism , utilise the Wisdom loan and satisfying it as part of the process of bringing cash into the club . " These are two words which many Albion supporters might have been forgiven for forgetting the definition of . The top of the club under Lai 's stewardship , certainly in the days without parachute payments but pretty much long before that too , has been a mess . Board members have been sacked at differing intervals , others have walked away having decided against working under the regime and financially the issues have been well documented . It 's spilled onto the field , to a degree , too ; there have been relegations , a flurry of managers with differing approaches and transfer plans , ultimately not as much investment in the squad as there might 've otherwise been and , in general , not the stability which was enjoyed previously . Patel is n't looking to make wholesale alterations to what he has inherited . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the first time in a number of years , Albion are unified under the existing management , led by Corberan . What Patel can improve upon , though , is the lines of communication which were non-existent under his predecessor . " I 'm a big believer in transparency and communication , " he said . " I think it 'll be up to me to learn more about everybody involved , but I think my goal is to be communicative and open . I think that the plans that we have for the club are plans that everyone should be excited about and that everyone should have a relationship with . I look forward to having an ongoing dialogue with the fans and all of the other stakeholders of the club . " Crucially , Patel understands and recognises the limitations already in place which prevent him from throwing money around . What he will seek , however , is ' expertise ' on how Albion as a club can extract as much as they can out of the opportunities available to them in order to grow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a lot that goes into running the club in this league and we have to be cognizant of all those things , " he added . " I think that when you 're a club that 's in the situation that Albion is in now , without the parachute money , the rules simply do not allow you to buy your way back to the Premier League . You have to earn it . " We have to find a way to run with discipline and stay on the right side of the rules that exist now and the rules that are probably coming in the future . I think to be a responsible and sustainable operation is crucial . The club is going to have what it needs to operate within the boundaries of the league . We 're absolutely going to have to increase our expertise in getting the most out of everything in front of us .

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is set to deliver the Spring Budget next week and speculation is starting to mount on possible announcements that will be made by the UK Government . Retirement expert Helen Morrissey , says tax cuts could be on the agenda , but an announcement on increasing the State Pension age probably wo n't be on the way - at least not before the looming General Election . The head of retirement analysis at Hargreaves Lansdown said that while an income tax cut would put more money in people 's pockets , it could result in a cut to basic rate pension tax relief . She also said that Inheritance Tax ( IHT ) reform would encourage older people to gift more during their lifetime , to boost their loved one 's financial resilience and that reversing cuts to Capital Gains Tax and dividend tax would encourage investment . Ms Morrissey explained : " Budget rumours continue to swirl with potential changes to Inheritance Tax , income tax and stamp duty all mooted . Many of these have the potential to help older people boost their long-term financial resilience and potentially that of their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Articles She continued : " An income tax cut would put more money in their pockets though we would likely also see a cut in basic rate tax relief in a pension . Changes to inheritance tax could encourage more people to gift money to younger generations and stamp duty reform could cut the cost of downsizing . " Rumours that the Chancellor may use the Budget to announce changes to State Pension age are eye-catching but seem less likely . With an Election looming on the horizon , it would be a brave person who suggests State Pension age should increase , especially given a recent review decided against it . " However , she added : " State Pension reform is a priority but seems more likely to be an issue for whoever wins the election rather than now . " Helen Morriseey and Sarah Coles , head of personal finance at Hargreaves Lansdown , share their predictions for the Budget , which will be announced in Parliament on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Minister 's Questions . One of the more enduring rumours we are seeing is that the Chancellor will announce a cut to income tax . Such a move would be roundly cheered for putting more money back in people 's pockets in difficult times , but we must not forget it could also come with a corresponding cut in basic rate tax relief on a pension which will act as a dampener on people 's retirement savings . Reform to Britain 's most-hated tax was seen as a frontrunner in the lead up to the Autumn Statement before being quietly dropped . However , rumours persist that change is on the cards though what form it will take is subject to debate . A reduction in the headline rate has drawn criticism as it is seen as benefiting wealthier estates who would have larger tax bills to pay . Current gifting rules encourage people to hoard assets rather than pass them onto younger family members during their lifetime . A rethink on gifting or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ frozen for years and if they were increased this would encourage more people to think about how their assets could be used to support their family members during their lifetime . Other suggestions for reform include raising the long-standing ? 325,000 threshold over which you become liable for IHT . Increasing it to ? 500,000 or combining it with the residential nil rate band would simplify as well as reducing the bill for larger estates and lifting many smaller estates out of having to pay IHT at all . This would cover people who have inadvertently passed the threshold due to house price growth and find themselves lumbered with a nasty surprise bill . It would also help ease the burden that falls disproportionately on single people who do not have the ability to benefit from a partner 's allowances . Increasing the State Pension age is not expected to be announced in Chancellor Jeremy Hunt 's Budget on March 6 . ( Image : Getty Images ) Downsizing to a smaller home can seem like the ideal way to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you add up the cost of moving many find they wo n't get as much from the sale of their family home as they thought . A group of MPs have urged the Chancellor to consider cutting stamp duty for downsizers in the Budget as a way of freeing up more homes for younger families . Recent research from Hargreaves Lansdown found that 23 per cent of people would consider downsizing in retirement . Of those who would n't , 22 per cent said moving was too expensive with a further 13 per cent citing stamp duty as a particular cost that would stand in their way . We tend to build assets as we approach retirement , and then rely on them for income and lump sums after we stop work . It means that older people who hold assets outside a pension or ISA run a particular risk of paying capital gains tax and dividend tax . As a result , the slashing of the allowances for both last April has already hit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ April are set to do even more damage . The UK Government has an opportunity to stop these cuts in their tracks - avoid the capital gains tax allowance falling to ? 3,000 - something we have n't seen for 40 years , and stop the dividend tax cut to ? 500 - a tenth of the original allowance . It would help protect investors who have been doing the right thing for decades , to protect themselves in retirement . It would also encourage younger investors to get stuck in - without the first of major tax bills further down the line .

As we live longer , we 're spending more of our lives in ill health , and at the moment , around 45 per cent of people over 85 will have difficulty with daily activities .

It 's alarmingly expensive and politically difficult for any government to wrestle with the cost of protecting people from catastrophic care costs , but while the can is kicked further and further down the road , the huge potential cost of care makes it impossible for any of us to plan our retirement spending with any real certainty . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'people' is the NP subject, 'use' is V1, 'her ignorance' is the NP object, and 'being held accountable for the hurt they've caused' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also fits the prevention interpretation, as it implies that people are avoiding being held accountable by using her ignorance as an example. The verb 'wiggle' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically'. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

As a Black woman , I believe her nickname has done untold damage ( Picture : Theo Wargo/Getty Images ) A bit too Northern . A bit too feisty . A bit scary . Larger than life hair . That 's the way Melanie Brown ( aka Mel B ) described herself around the time she got the nickname ' Scary Spice ' almost 30 years ago . She loves the nickname because ' there 's a bit of scary in all of us ' , but this week she 's said she does n't think the moniker would work in today 's society because -- according to her -- we 're ' a bit too politically correct ' . Growing up , I always thought each Spice Girl 's name was cute and suited their personalities . I thought Mel B was getting paid to be unapologetically loud by wearing leopard print and rocking beautiful afro curls . To view this video please enable JavaScript , and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video However , it was only after I found out how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an eyebrow . Mel B revealed a few years ago : ' It was actually a lazy journalist that could n't be bothered to remember all our names , so he just gave us nicknames . ' I remember thinking , Hold on a minute , the only melanated member of the iconic group got stuck with a negative nickname . What about her in that interview made her scary to the journalist ? Did she answer the questions while throwing steak knives across the room ? Was she breaking wine bottles and pretending to be at a jousting tournament ? What was so ' scary ' about a young woman from a working-class background who found herself thrust into the limelight ? The ' angry Black woman ' trope has been around for a very long time ( Picture : Tim Roney/Getty Images ) Apparently the reason at the time -- according to the ' lazy journalist ' in question -- was because Mel B was ' so loud and had tried to take over our whole photo shoot ' . And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ since . The ' angry Black woman ' trope has been around for a very long time . From the 1800s , Black women were often portrayed on various entertainment platforms as the brazen mammy figures who ruled their homes with iron fists and a sharp tongue . They had ' back-chats ' and ' clap backs ' that provided humour to the white masses ( as long as white audiences were not the butt of their jokes ) . This trope is still used today -- and it 's mired in anti-Black racism . This is why I find the way Mel B seemingly brushes off the criticism of her ' Scary ' nickname without considering its impact on people like me so disconcerting . Over the past 15 years , I have found myself in countless meetings in my career -- more often than not being the only woman or Black person in the room . I could n't tell you the number of times I did n't dare show any emotion that reflected frustration , irritation or outrage because I did n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I 've seen white peers walk into office kitchens and throw plates into the sink , but hearing someone pass it off as them ' having a bad day ' . Meanwhile , a Black coworker ( who had just found out her mother had terminal cancer ) came into the office kitchen and shouted an expletive at herself after dropping toast on the floor , and a white co-worker leaned towards me and said : ' I find her a bit scary sometimes ' . So Mel B letting the nickname ' Scary ' slide just amplifies why people do n't understand the macro impacts this microaggressive language has on Black women and how it chips away at our identity . I have seen so many Black women become a shadow of their former selves because they 're too scared to speak up and want people to like them at the cost of their mental health . I have seen so many Black women become a shadow of their former selves ( Picture : JMEnternational/Redferns ) To me , media personalities like Mel B not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ experiences thousands of Black women go through every day in the workplace . The singer said she does n't ' take offence ' to her ' Scary ' nickname , but that just shows me how lost she is by not wanting to challenge the status quo . On top of that , she seems to overlook her privilege as a mixed-race woman . Being a fairer Black woman allows her to bask in the stereotypes that us Black women with darker hues are seldom afforded . Going forward , I 'd like celebrities to think about how their nonchalant attitude towards harmful tropes negatively impacts the working lives of regular people like me . Especially when people use her ignorance as a poor example to wiggle out of being held accountable for the hurt they 've caused . |

Pep Guardiola was n't biting . He knew what was coming , and offered a straight , firm bat back down the track for a dot ball . But even in saying nothing , he picked a side when invited to comment on Erik ten Hag 's position at Manchester United . Just 24 hours after Ten Hag came out fighting after a damaging defeat at the weekend and reports of his position not being as stable as he thought , Guardiola knows he is completely safe at Manchester City . And he used that security to choose his words carefully about his opposite number . Asked what he expected from United in the derby , he simply replied : " Always I expect the best from our opponents . Always . The best performance of them is what I expect . " Pushed a little further on his opinion of criticism of Ten Hag 's philosophy , Guardiola went defensive again . " I understand your question but I do n't talk about opponents , " he explained . " I expect the best from United but I do n't talk one word @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I do n't want my words to be misunderstood . " When I have a comment , people always say ' Pep jibed ' and it 's never my intention . It 's better not to say anything . I know them . I have a lot of respect for the institution , United , Erik , and the players and when I see what we have to do my players will know it . " Fair enough , you would think . But Guardiola often uses his Friday press conference to praise an opposition manager , or tell their club to give the manager time . In fact , that is exactly what he told United to do with Ten Hag back in October . Guardiola has elaborated more enthusiastically about the threats and tactics of Brighton , Luton and Brentford than he did about United . He was happy to tell us all of the dangers of Cheltenham two years ago , but remained tight lipped about his biggest rivals . " From my experience in these games , be calm , relax , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and what you have to do to beat them , " he continued , explaining his position . " Do n't talk about emotions because they will be there . " He would go on to praise United 's consistency in 2024 , and their ability to score a goal out of nothing . He knows United have a better record against him at the Etihad than at Old Trafford . Even when given a chance to discuss Sir Jim Ratcliffe 's recent praise of City , he turned that down . " If Sir Jim Ratcliffe said they need two or three years to catch City , who am I to say the opposite ? I can not give you an answer because I 'm not there , " he said . The only olive branch he gave to Ten Hag was a throwaway statement that managers at big clubs need time - but that is still a departure from his October defence of the Dutchman . Times have changed , and there is no room for sentiment or emotion on Sunday .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate that would induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'pulling out of something' is part of a comparative phrase 'let alone', which does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction.

Follow all of the updates from Bahrain here as Red Bull look to keep all eyes on the track as Christian Horner 's position as Team Principal remains in doubt following leaked messages and his accuser hits back All eyes are on Christian and Geri Horner amid allegations levelled at the Red Bull boss The supposed texts and images on WhatsApp - which Mirror Sport has seen - were leaked to key figures of the F1 paddock including FIA president Mohamed ben Sulayem , F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali and the nine other team principals . Horner released a statement to again strongly deny the allegations and maintain his innocence . On the track , Verstappen is the odds-on favourite to win in Bahrain , after taking pole position . Stay tuned throughout Saturday as Mirror Sport brings you the latest from Bahrain . 22:23Matthew Cooper Both Mercedes W15 's were hit with battery problems at the Bahrain Grand Prix , with Lewis Hamilton and George Russell sharing their frustrations after the race . " For a while my battery was dead , so down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the straights , so I lost a lot of ground to the McLarens , " Hamilton said . " I was fixing that out and that took a good 10 laps and I lost 15 seconds through that . " And then after that I was just trying to get back on it and catch up once we got that fixed and then there was a bit of overheating with the brakes and in general the performance was so-so . My seat started moving . It clicked and my left side dropped so then it was moving through the braking zones , not great . " Russell added : " We both faced a similar problem . For whatever reason we had massive engine overheating and the battery was n't working properly . I made a really good start , I got into second , sort of like , ' Here we go ' . " Then I soon had these big red alarms on my steering wheel and I had no battery left and went to turn the power down . We ended up losing about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ difficult holding them Ferrari and Sergio Perez off . " I was surprised we managed to do it for the first 10 laps or so . And then we just went backwards thereafter , so it 's a shame that we did n't get to show any real potential of this car . A bit of a strange day . " George Russell and Lewis Hamilton have been Mercedes team-mates for two years ( Image : HOCH **28;32;TOOLONG Images ) 21:29Matthew Cooper Despite his disappointing finish in Bahrain , Lewis Hamilton insisted today 's race was about " discovery " and admitted there are " a lot of things about the car to improve " " I mean the car is reliable , but I think it was a struggle in the car today , " the Brit told Sky Sports F1 . " The platform , where I was given everything , but there was n't a lot of performance there compared to some of the others . " I think if I would have qualified @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ahead because the last stint was good . It was about discovery today , I found out a lot of things about the car to improve and I 'm sure the team will . " 20:36Matthew Cooper When asked if Red Bull remain united , he told Sky Sports F1 : " Yes absolutely . We are a very strong team . We have got tremendous support , tremendous partners and great shareholders behind us as well . You do n't achieve this kind of result by not being united . " Red Bull team principal and CEO Christian Horner ( Image : Sky Sports ) 19:45Matthew Cooper Lewis Hamilton has spoken of his " disappointment " after finishing seventh in Bahrain . " I was definitely hoping that we would be better this weekend then we were , but it was a tough race , it was very close with everybody and degradation is high with the car . There is plenty of areas we can improve . We were further back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " And Horner was spotted meeting Yoovidhya ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix , which was won by Red Bull 's Max Verstappen . Yoovidhya holds a majority 51 per cent stake in Red Bull Racing 's parent company , which was founded by his father Chaleo and Dietrich Mateshitz in 1984 . He 's being let go by Ferrari and he knows he needs to find a new drive with the Spaniard admitting he needs to constantly underline his quality . " I 've been in F1 for nine years and every race I 'm trying to prove to everyone what I 'm capable of doing , " he said . " At the same time , I 've done so many years here that everyone knows what I 'm able to do with the right working environment and right tools to fight . " My future is something I 'm not thinking about at the moment and only think about it in my off time . " 17:54Samuel Meade He said : " Yes , absolutely . I would n't be here otherwise . " 17:14Samuel Meade " The perfect start and a very dominant race . I have to say a big thank you to all the men and women back at Milton Keynes who have worked so hard over the winter . It 's testimony to all that hard work that goes on behind the scenes . " A great team performance to get that one-two finish and maximum points today . You can see it 's an aggressive revolution . The whole team have done a wonderful job . " They have n't rested on their laurels . They have pushed hard and pushed the boundaries . You can see there 's a lot of innovative ideas on the car . It 's a strong evolution . " 16:58Samuel Meade " I think it was the maximum we could have achieved . " It was quite a tricky @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ plenty we will learn from tonight 's race which will be important for the championship . " But overall it 's a great wat to start the season . " It was really tyre compound to compound the amount of sliding we were having . We were having some issues with the engine braking , the driveability , which is not easy around here . " 16:53Samuel Meade " Unbelievable . I think today went even better than expected . I think the car was really nice to drive on every compound . " I think we had a lot of pace and it was just super enjoyable to drive today . We stayed out of trouble and it 's a great start of the year , it could n't have been better .

Several competitive practice sessions had given hope to a more competitive field but the Red Bull star was the class of the field with team-mate Sergio Perez completing a 1-2 for the Austrian outfit . Verstappen fended off an early Charles Leclerc attack on the first half before establishing a notable gap , which he retained throughout the race . Perez made up several places to finish on the podium with Leclerc struggling with his tyres throughout the race before he finished fourth ahead of George Russell . Carlos Sainz took the final podium spot as Red Bull , Ferrari , McLaren Mercedes and Aston Martin occupied the top ten spots .

Verstappen is already over 4 seconds clear as four cars scrap for second . Russell got the jump on Leclerc , who is ahead of Perez and Sainz . Both Ferraris seem to be struggling somewhat whilst the two McLarens look racey . 15:05Samuel Meade Verstappen retains the lead as we finish the opening lap .

" And I do n't know what those conversations are and that needs to be thorough , fully transparent , and that they come to the same conclusion that has been given by Red Bull , and that they 've agreed with the outcome .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it describes a situation where someone fakes their death to avoid being in a relationship, which does not involve a causer causing a causee to move out of or prevent from an action denoted by a VP[-ing] predicate. The phrase 'to get out of being in a relationship with her' is more about avoidance rather than causation or prevention as defined by the transitive out of -ing construction.

A heartbroken lover has described the tragic moment she learned of her boyfriend 's death - only to find out days later that he had faked the whole thing to get out of being in a relationship with her . The tragic teen shared her story on Reddit , detailing how she received a text on her Mother 's Birthday saying that her beau had " got into an accident with a horse and died " . The text , claiming to be from her partner 's mum , said that : " he got into a horse wreck and the horse stepped on his chest rupturing his heart , " according to her post on the social platform , titled : " He faked his death " . The poster said she mourned her boyfriend for five days , even seeking help from a mental health helpline , before her friends ' suspicions were aroused after she showed them the text supposedly from his mother . They decided to call his number and to the girl 's horror he answered - as if back from the dead . She explained : " My @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were just talking to him and I 'm wailing in the background and he says ' is everything OK , I hear someone crying ' and to that I yank the phone out of my besties hand and say ' I thought you were f***ing dead ' . " Her cowardly ex hung up as soon as he heard her voice but after repeatedly reaching out on social media she said he finally explained why he faked his own death , " she said . The pair had been in a long distance relationship for three months when she recieved the heartbreaking news ( Image : Getty Images/Westend61 ) For all the latest news , politics , sports , and showbiz from the USA , go toThe Mirror US " How clingy is ' too clingy ' before you decide to fake your death ? ! " replied one user . Others , however , were more comforting . " That 's so traumatic , I 'm so sorry , you did n't deserve that . I hope you can heal and move on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ replied . Another said : " That 's honestly insanely awful of him to do , I 'm so sorry you went through that . You definitely were n't in the wrong there , of course you would be upset finding out he made up a ridiculous and horrible lie . " Meanwhile there was little sympathy for the ex , branded a " coward " by several posters . Some people even claimed to have gone through similar experiences . " My ex faked his cancer stage 3 thingy . pathetic much , " said one comment , with someone else adding : " Mine did as well " . One insightful commenter managed to shed some light on the bizarre story by looking through the original poster 's other comments - from which they surmised that the couple in question were only 13 and 15 . Prompting one commenter to offer these sage words of advice : " Sweetie , you 're only 13 . I know everything seems huge . Your emotions are all over the place . It seems like no one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all been there . You may not like what I have to say next . You will be so much happier if you actually are n't in a relationship at your age . Do n't lose yourself over a guy . Hang out with your friends . " |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'worm out of' in a way that does not involve an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'worm out of anything' is more idiomatic and does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction as defined.

Forgive me for not going overboard at Celtic 's seven goal demolition of Dundee . The result and performance was just what Brendan Rodgers and the team needed . But we 'll find out on Sunday at Tynecastle if this side really have turned a corner and have what it takes to lift the Premiership title again . The second half at Motherwell and Parkhead the other night was much more like it . The key thing now is to build on it and put a string of performances and wins together to take to Ibrox on April 7 . There 's been too many games where Celtic have played in fits and starts and they now need to produce it for 90 minutes . The only consistent thing about this team this season has been their inconsistency . There 's no doubt the Dundee display was much needed though . Celtic fans have been crying out for some entertainment because it 's been too much of a slog at times this season . There 's been some stand-out displays , the 6-0 win against Aberdeen , the 4-1 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those results have not been backed up though . Video Loading Video Unavailable Click to playTap to play The video will auto-play soon8Cancel Play now The good thing about Wednesday night was it gave supporters something to cheer about . It 's the old argument , does the crowd lift the players or the players lift the crowd ? Either way , you need to have everyone in harmony and too often this season that has simply not been the case . They 'll need it for the remaining 10 games of the campaign -- because it does n't look like there will be any let up from Rangers . You could argue their result was even more impressive than Celtic hitting Dundee for seven .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'worm out of' in a way that does not involve an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate that induces a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'worm out of anything' does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction as described.

Forgive me for not going overboard at Celtic 's seven goal demolition of Dundee . The result and performance was just what Brendan Rodgers and the team needed . But we 'll find out on Sunday at Tynecastle if this side really have turned a corner and have what it takes to lift the Premiership title again . The second half at Motherwell and Parkhead the other night was much more like it . The key thing now is to build on it and put a string of performances and wins together to take to Ibrox on April 7 . There 's been too many games where Celtic have played in fits and starts and they now need to produce it for 90 minutes . The only consistent thing about this team this season has been their inconsistency . There 's no doubt the Dundee display was much needed though . Celtic fans have been crying out for some entertainment because it 's been too much of a slog at times this season .

Either way , you need to have everyone in harmony and too often this season that has simply not been the case . They 'll need it for the remaining 10 games of the campaign -- because it does n't look like there will be any let up from Rangers .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'make a living out of robbing immigrants' involves the verb 'make' with 'a living' as its object, followed by 'out of robbing immigrants', which does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the means by which the living is made, not causing someone to move out of or preventing someone from an action.

A stretch of land dubbed the " Jungle of Death " is filled with armed bandits and violent attacks -- but thousands still try and cross through . The Dari ? n Gap in Panama sees refugees flee through the dangers of the jungle as they hope to reach relief aid and encampments on the other side .

Details outlining the Princess of Wales 's apparent attendance at a Trooping the Colour event in June will be removed from the official Army website after confusion over what would have been her first confirmed public appearance since she underwent abdominal surgery in January . According to an update on 5 March , Kate , as Colonel of the Irish Guards , was set to carry out an inspection during the event on 8 June . However , there was subsequent confusion when it became clear that Kensington Palace would neither confirm nor deny whether her appearance was confirmed . It is now understood the Army did not seek approval form the royals before publishing the page , and the website is due to be updated . The Army 's website said : " Trooping the Colour reviewed by Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales is identical to Trooping the Colour reviewed by His Majesty The King , with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Majesty The King is present . " Trooping the Colour reviewed by Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales also includes 250 soldiers from the Foot Guards who will line the processional route along The Mall . " The soldiers will be inspected by Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales , Colonel Irish Guards . " Kate was last seen in public on Christmas Day . ( PA ) Last week , speculation about her ongoing absence from public life intensified when the Prince of Wales unexpectedly pulled out of a memorial service for the late King Constantine of Greece , his godfather , hours before it was due to start citing a personal matter . A spokesperson moved to quash social media rumours , telling the BBC Kensington Palace had " made it clear " in the initial statement in January that it would only be commenting on significant updates . Here 's a breakdown of what we know - and do n't know - about the Princess of Wales 's surgery and her recovery : A @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kate was admitted to a private London Clinic the previous day . She went on to stay in hospital for 12 days before returning to her Adelaide Cottage home in Windsor . The palace said she would not return to public duties until Easter . We also know that further details of Kate 's medical information will remain private for the foreseeable future . Kensington Palace said her progress will only be shared " when there is significant new information " . The last time Kate was seen in public was on Christmas Day , since then she has remained out of the public eye . The day after her surgery was announced her husband was seen visiting her in hospital on 18 January . The Prince of Wales drives away from the London Clinic where the Princess of Wales had surgery . ( PA ) On 26 January King Charles underwent his procedure for an enlarged prostate in the same hospital where Kate was recovering . People magazine reported the King visited her ahead of his own surgery . Kensington Palace announced Kate had returned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ surgery " adding she was making " good progress . " On 7 February Prince William returned to public life and he was pictured attending the Baftas on 18 February . The Prince of Wales , president of Bafta , seen talking with Anna Higgs , chairwoman of Bafta 's Film Committee on 18 February . ( PA ) Kate and Charles 's dual health scare is , however , an indication of how fragile Charles 's approach to a " slimmed-down " monarchy is - particularly as two royals , Prince Harry and the Duke of York , do not carry out official duties . On 27 February , William pulled out of the service for the late King Constantine of Greece , despite being due to give a reading at the memorial . King Charles also missed the service as he continued his treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer . Kensington Palace would not elaborate further but said the Princess of Wales , who is recovering from abdominal surgery , continues to be doing well . However , William 's unexplained absence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the royal family to brush off any speculation , subsequently telling the BBC : " Kensington Palace made it clear in January the timelines of the princess 's recovery . We said we 'd only be providing significant updates . That guidance stands . " On 4 March , a US magazine published a long-range paparazzi image of Kate in the passenger seat of a car alongside her mother - the first time she had been pictured in public since Christmas Day . Beyond describing the surgery as " successful " , the initial palace statement gave no indication as to the seriousness of the surgery and the impact it has had on Kate . The most recent statement did not give any further details on the type of surgery she underwent . The fact the palace felt the need to comment on the speculation on social media shows at least tacit acknowledgement of the misinformation that has been spread online . That speculation has ramped up on social media since Prince William pulled out of King Constantine 's funeral @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will not attend public engagements until at least April . ( Reuters ) The precise timing of Kate 's planned return is not known - and the confusion surrounding her on-then-off attendance at Trooping the Colour only served to muddy the waters still further . April is the earliest date she will be seen at a public event , but it could be that she cancels more engagements beyond then . The Times reported on the day her surgery was made public that her diary has been cleared for " many months " . And while Kensington Palace said the surgery was " planned " , we do n't know how long it had been planned - though it does likely mean the surgery was not an emergency procedure . According to the well-connected Royal Central website , the Palace reportedly told journalists that her condition was not cancerous . Despite these suggestions , we do n't -- and may never -- have the details of what the operation was for , with the statement saying that Kate 's medical notes are private .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'Born out of' which is a passive construction with 'increasing feelings of hopelessness, dislocation and religious uncertainty' as the complement of the complex preposition 'out of'. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the sentence does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Not since the Twilight craze of the early 2000s have we witnessed such a widespread fascination with all things supernatural and twisted . Meyer 's bloody teen vampire romance captured the hearts and imaginations of all ages across the globe . Vampire fiction was no new feat , but the desire for a deeply brooding , undying/undead love affair in a contemporary world was deemed fascinating enough to yield both global acclaim and critical disdain . The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long -- and the vamp-ification of the early 2000s and 2010s quickly dissipated . Horrifying mysteries and spine-tingling romances featuring creatures of the night have nevertheless undergone undulating waves of popularity throughout history . From Henry James and Bram Stoker to Edgar Allen Poe , there 's yet to be an era more obsessed with the ghostly and macabre than the Victorian , perhaps until now . Born out of increasing feelings of hopelessness , dislocation and religious uncertainty , Gothic literature shifted in the 19th century from tales of hidden princesses in sublime , crumbling towers to better encompass the metaphysical and preternatural . Unlike the first ever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , popular serial literature such as The Turn of The Screw ( 1898 ) featured haunted mansions with untold horrors behind each hidden corridor and an endlessly spiralling staircase . Naturally , this is where the origins of contemporary supernatural fiction lie . H.P. Lovecraft built on the Victorian fascination with the supernatural , writing instant classics such as Cthulhu ( 1926 ) and The Dunwich Horror ( 1928 ) . These tales of pure horror and mayhem gave way to Stephen King 's eye-wateringly expansive oeuvre , written mostly throughout the late 1970s and 1980s . Then , from Neil Gaiman in the 1990s and the subsequent Vampire Era that we 've already touched upon , we arrive at a rather overdue reignition of popular interest in supernatural literature spearheaded by authors such as Leigh Bardugo , T Kingfisher , and Katherine Arden . In the Romantasy realm , authors such as Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros have taken centre stage . Within each of us there lies an intense fascination with the macabre , the thought of which might have sent us weeping into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'd struggle not to remain inherently curious about all things morose , scaring ourselves silly with tales of vampires and werewolves on the off chance that supernatural creatures might really exist . The peaks and troughs of supernatural popularity reflect an intense desire , even as adults , for the deepest realms of magic to be true . Not just for the proto-religious implications , but for the potentiality to conquer death no matter the price . As Shirley Jackson writes in the groundbreaking The Haunting of Hill House ( 1959 ) , " No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality . " We 've curated a selection of the best historical and contemporary supernatural novels to devour . Keep scrolling to get spooked . Penguin A deeply moving psychological horror which not only served as inspiration for the works of Stephen King and Neil Gaiman , but for the 10-part Netflix series of the same name -- the influence of Jackson 's terrifying 1959 novel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be understated . The story follows anthropologist Dr. John Montague who has an innate interest in the supernatural . Intent on using the supposedly haunted Hill House as a case study for the paranormal , he invites Eleanor Vance ( reported to have had a brush with a poltergeist as a child ) and Theodora ( a potential psychic ) to join him on a three-month sojourn . Stephen King There 's something about supernatural fiction taking place within small towns in the United States which affects the soul like no other .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('taking 170,000 families out of having to pay it all together'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the action of 'taking' prevents the families from 'having to pay it all together.' The verb 'taking' implies a means of exerting force or pressure, fitting one of the categories of verbs that can appear in the V1 slot. The NP object '170,000 families' functions as a causee, participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

And the top of the taper at which the benefit is withdrawn was hiked from ? 60,000 to ? 80,000 The change means no one earning under ? 60,000 will pay the charge , taking 170,000 families out of having to pay it all together . 6 Annual inflation rates rises between January 2014 and January 2024 The Chancellor also announced a " landmark " plan to cut down on waste and boost productivity in public services , including the NHS . The strategy includes ? 3.4bn for the NHS to modernise its IT systems - and in turn unlock ? 35bn of savings . The new tech system should slash 13 million hours currently lost by nurses and doctors every year to outdated computer systems . And it will speed up results for 130,000 patients a year , potentially saving thousands of lives . Mr Hunt said : " The NHS was there for us in the pandemic . " And today with nearly ? 6bn of additional funding a Conservative government is there for the NHS . " There was lots of shouting , but with the cupboard bare , not as many giveaways as a Chancellor would have liked on the eve of battle . As he delivered what will likely be the last Budget before Britain goes to the polls this autumn , the glum faces behind him would suggest Tory MPs did not think it would be enough to turn around the Conservatives bleak numbers . Even with some tax cuts , the problem the Government has is the tax burden still remains at the highest level since 1947 . And nobody really thinks that will be going down rather than up under Labour . On top of that , the cold hard numbers are hard to spin . The small print of the Budget shows an extra ? 186.6 billion in stealth taxes over the next five years : more than double what the combined ? 105.4 billion savings from the combined tax cuts last November and today . Also painful is the OBR 's prediction that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Tory tax changes have actually made Britain 's workshy issues worse . With more people being dragged into higher tax bands , it turns out fewer people are bothering to work harder . But the shape of the Tory manifesto is coming into sight , with the abolition of National Insurance clearly going to feature as a flagship election issue . The dual taxation of wages through NICS and Income Tax has been a long running quirk of our complex tax system , but abolishing it completely would be eye-wateringly expensive . That said , Hunt has reduced it by 4p , down to 8p in the pound on earnings in just six months , hence why he is dangling the prospect of phasing it out completely over the five years . But given there are huge bills coming down the path for national security , massive compensation payouts , and sustainable public spending , is that loss of Treasury revenue really credible ? I suspect we will spend a large part of the election campaign arguing about that . Hunt peppered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and countless name checks - and real cheques - for key marginal seats the Government hope to save at the election . Given how many times he mentioned his own seat in Surrey and the vicious pop at the Liberal Democrats who could oust him , its clear the Chancellor is as worried about his own seat as he is about anyone else 's . It was the tetchiest Budget I can remember , with countless interventions from the Deputy Speaker needed after Labour heckled their way through the measures . If this is the shape of the election campaign to come , it 's going to be a very long year ... In a boost for policing , more Violence Reduction Units will appear across England and Wales thanks to an additional ? 75m funding to crack down on crime . And ? 230m will be spent on rolling out time and money saving technology for cops - including crime stopping drones . The move should free up time equivalent to 20,000 officers over a year . Mr Hunt fired the starting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Spring Budget . The Chancellor hinted at Tory ambitions to scrap national insurance in its entirety . And a windfall tax on oil and gas giants was extended until the end of the decade . Labour have already said they would do the same and earmarked the cash for other projects , leaving a black hole in Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves ' spending plans . 6 UK fuel duty costs between 2002 and 2024 The Opposition said they thought the sweeteners meant PM Rishi Sunak was eyeing a May general election -- but No10 last night pooh-poohed talk of an early poll . The Chancellor , however , disappointed Tory MPs by refusing to slash income tax or unfreeze the thresholds at which its paid . That is despite Mr Sunak vowing to reduce the base rate to 19 per cent by the end of this Parliament . And despite the second cut in a few months , it will not stop the tax burden rising to 37 per cent of GDP by the end of the decade . By @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 600,000 more additional rate taxpayers . There will also be a net increase in tax receipts of ? 19.7bn . Mr Hunt told MPs now is the time to help families with " permanent cuts " to taxation . He said : " Of course , interest rates remain high as we bring down inflation . " But because of the progress we 've made , because we are delivering the Prime Minister 's economic priorities , we can now help families not just with temporary cost of living support but with permanent cuts in taxation . " We do this to give much needed help in challenging times . " But also because Conservatives know lower tax means higher growth . " And higher growth means more opportunity , more prosperity and more funding for our precious public services . " The NI cut comes after a similar 2p reduction in last year 's Autumn Statement , that was seen in pay packets in January . Mr Hunt painted Labour as the party holding back business with red tape and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ jobs with 70 new burdens on employers , reduce opportunities by halving new apprenticeships and risk family finances with new spending that pushes up tax . " Instead of going back to square one , our plans mean more investment , more jobs , more productive public services and lower taxes -- sticking to our plan in a Budget for long term growth . " Mr Hunt warned the public that a Labour government will increase borrowing to pay for public services -- with the huge bill left outstanding for decades to come . He added : " An economy based on sound money does not pass on its bills to the next generation . " Shadow Chancellor Ms Reeves claimed the Budget is the " final chapter " of fourteen years that has left the country worse off . She said : " Taxes are still rising , prices are still going up in the shops and mortgages are higher . " Nothing Jeremy Hunt has said today changes that . It 's time for change . He told the Commons : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a recession and tells the working people of this country that everything 's on track . Crisis ? What crisis ? Or as the captain of the Titanic and the former Prime Minister herself might have said , iceberg ? What iceberg ? " Smiling as the ship goes down , the chuckle brothers of decline , dreaming of Santa Monica or maybe just a quiet life in Surrey not having to self-fund his election . " |

Jeremy Hunt 's Spring Budget statement has ended - and he announced a slew of " desperate " tax cuts after 14 years of " Tory economic failure " . Mr Hunt today delivered what could be his last financial update ahead of the General Election in front of howling Tory MPs . The Chancellor extended the freeze on fuel duty for the 14th year in a row , while alcohol duty will remain frozen until February 2025 . Meanwhile , millions will take home more pay after another National Insurance cut , with Class 1 contributions being reduced to 8% from this April . However , despite the news of cuts - which covered up a raft of gloomy taxes such as a hike on vaping - the Chancellor 's Budget could make or break struggling families . Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer , Rachel Reeves MP , said the statement " should be the final chapter of fourteen years of Tory economic failure " . And giving his damning reaction to the Chancellor 's budget , Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer branded the budget " the last desperate act of a party that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with one hand and take even more with the other , and nothing they do between now and the election will change that " . This live blog is now closed . 15:59Joseph Gamp Thanks for reading our live Budget 2024 blog today , in what may be Jeremy Hunt 's final statement before a General Election . A Tory Minister has hit out at his own Government 's Budget just 30 minutes after it was unveiled by Chancellor Jeremy Hunt . Energy and Net Zero Minister Andrew Bowie said it was " deeply disappointing " that an extension of the windfall tax on oil and gas had been included in the Spring Budget . Mr Bowie , who is MP for West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine , said he was working with Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross to resolve the extension of the Energy Profits Levy ( EPL ) , which charges oil and gas companies an extra 35% tax on the money they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ X/Twitter , Mr Bowie said : " I agree with Douglas . There is much in this budget to welcome . Much that is good for Scotland and our United Kingdom . And only the Conservatives have a plan . However , the extension of the EPL is deeply disappointing . I will be working with him to resolve this . " New measures will be introduced to support those struggling with debt , Chancellor Jeremy Hunt announced today in his Budget . Delivering his spring Budget 2024 , the Chancellor alluded to the cost-of-living crisis and stressed a cut in National Insurance will help struggling families retain more money they earn . The 57-year-old politician also said he would increase repayment programmes for those taking advanced loans from 12 months to 24 months . And Mr Hunt , who became Chancellor in October 2022 , insisted around 40,000 families will also benefit from his decision to abolish the ? 90 debt relief charge . Mr Hunt made the pledge to scrap this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The politician said : " For some people , the best way to resolve debts is through a debt relief order . But getting one costs ? 90 which can deter the very people who need them the most . " Reacting to today 's Budget , Dr Sarah Hughes , CEO of Mind , said : " We are relieved to hear that the Household Support Fund -- which supports people in poverty and bearing the brunt of the cost-of-living crisis , groups who we know are particularly affected by mental health problems -- will be extended by 6 months . The UK government will need to extend it again at the next budget to make sure people are n't left behind . However , we are concerned that no new funding has been committed to support the safe roll out of Right Care Right Person . " It is simply impossible to take a million hours of support out of the system without replacing it with investment . Failing to properly fund NHS @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back from mental health calls is an unsafe and frankly irresponsible decision . " Delivering this change safely requires careful planning , partnership working , additional funding and effective oversight . No one should have to risk losing their life because a process is changed too quickly and without investment . Given the lack of funding for mental health services announced in today 's budget , it is even more critical that the UK government slows down the roll-out of Right Care Right Person and puts the needs of people with mental health problems and the public first . " 15:15Joseph Gamp The SNP has slammed the Chancellor 's reliance on productivity to " solve everything " - and his proposals to fill job vacancies with immigration . Speaking from the frontbench , Drew Hendry said : " The Chancellor has put a lot of store on productivity in his speech today , he 's going to solve everything with productivity . " Yet if we look back over the past @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the things that the UK has been exceptionally poor at is productivity . It has n't budged at all . " Mr Hendry ( Inverness , Nairn , Badenoch and Strathspey ) also criticised the Government 's proposal to fill job vacancies , he said : " ( Jeremy Hunt ) said earlier that vacancies would be easy to fill with immigration . " This is the party who imposed Brexit , joined by the Labour Party , and now the Lib Dems , and stopped free movement . " Of course it would be easy to fill vacancies with people , skilled people who want to do the jobs that we have , who want to fill those vital jobs in tourism , hospitality , the National Health Service , the care service , and across many other sectors , but of course that 's been taken away by this place . " 15:02Joseph Gamp Responding to today 's Budget , CEO of River Action James Wallace said , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chancellor did not mention nature , the environment , nor action to tackle the climate crisis ; not even once . " Our rivers are dying , we are in freshwater emergency and we need our politicians , of all stripes , to put this near the top of their political and economic thinking . Instead , this government has stripped resources from the environment regulators leaving them hollowed out and unable to prosecute the polluting water companies and greedy industrial-scale agricultural business . We desperately need a government that will stand up for nature , our rivers and fight the climate crisis . " River Action is a campaigning body committed to addressing the severe problem of river pollution across the UK . " Hitting passengers - including families and those travelling for leisure - with stealthy tax rises will only make the UK even less competitive on the global stage . The UK 's aviation taxes and airport charges are already among the highest in the world . The Government should instead focus on supporting the industry 's transition to net zero which the US @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for , unlike here in Britain . " Clive Wratten , chief executive of the Business Travel Association industry body , said : " The introduction of an increase in non-economy air passenger duty is disastrous for the economic welfare and wellbeing of British businesses and their employees . " Contrary to common misconceptions , business travel is not just for the wealthy . This tax will hinder growth for small and medium enterprises through limiting international collaboration opportunities . " It will hit charities , academics and researchers alongside businesses of all sizes combating rising costs in every area . There is no mechanism for ensuring that the monies from this tax will go into innovation in the airline sector nor into sustainable aviation fuels . This is therefore just another tax on British businesses . " The Government 's new aviation tax hike has not gone down well ( Image : AFP via Getty Images ) 14:51Joseph Gamp Airline passengers will be hit by a tax increase , with a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Treasury announced it will increase the level of air passenger duty ( APD ) for flights from UK airports by the forecast Retail Prices Index measure of inflation . But the rates for premium economy , business class and first class ticket holders will be " further adjusted for recent high inflation to help maintain their real terms value " , it said . Unlike leisure travel , flights for business have failed to return to pre-coronavirus levels . The Treasury 's announcement relates to the 2025/26 financial year and is expected to generate ? 110 million in revenue in the first 12 months . APD rates for passengers in premium cabins on departures from UK airports currently range from ? 13 to ? 200 based on the distance of the flight . The range will rise to between ? 14 and ? 202 in the 2024/25 financial year . 14:39Joseph Gamp The Prime Minister is overseeing a " Rishi recession " , Sir Keir Starmer claimed , as he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . The Labour leader said it remains true that taxes are at " a 70-year high " despite the Chancellor 's budget , adding : " The British people paying more for less , an unprecedented hit to living standards of working people , the first time they have gone backwards over a Parliament , and they were cheering that today . " " The reason is equally simple , there is no plan for growth . How can there be ? He can say ' long-term plan ' all he likes , " Sir Keir added to jeers from the Prime Minister and Chancellor . He insisted it was a " statistical sleight of hand " by ministers to claim Britain has grown more quickly than countries like Germany over the last 14 years , telling MPs : " Indeed , in per capita terms , our economy has not grown since the first quarter of 2022 , the longest period of stagnation Britain has seen since 1955 . " Sir Keir said : " There is nothing technical about working people living in recession @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . This is a Rishi recession . " Sir Keir Starmer hit out at the Government 's record on the economy ( Image : Sky ) 14:38Joseph Gamp Jeremy Hunt has announced a cut to National Insurance tax in a desperate attempt to turn around his party 's abysmal poll rating . The pre-election tax giveaway came as the Tory Chancellor unveiled the Budget on Wednesday with reforms to child benefit , a new vaping charge , and abolishing the non-dom tax status in a major U-turn . Ignoring warnings from the International Monetary Fund ( IMF ) against tax cuts , Mr Hunt put the National Insurance cut at the centrepiece of the Budget - and even suggested another reduction may come . Sir Starmer has said the public will be subject to a " Tory stealth tax " through council tax increases . The Labour leader told the Commons : " People have been living through this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ still frozen , dragging more and more people into higher taxes . " They know that a Tory stealth tax is coming their way in the shape of their next council tax bill . The Levelling-up Secretary has told not just this House but every house in the country he 's coming for their council tax , give with one hand , Gove in the other . " But most insultingly of all , the British people know the only cause that gets this lot out of bed is trying to save their own skin . " Take the desperate move , after years of resistance , to finally accept Labour 's argument on the non-dom tax regime . Has there ever been a more obvious example of a Government that is totally bereft of ideas ? " And if they 're sincere in support of this policy now , then the question they must answer today is why did they not do it earlier ? Why did they not stand up to their friends , their funders , and their family ? " Because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ operations would have taken place by now , 1.3 million emergency dental appointments , free breakfast clubs for nearly four-and-a-half million children . But if instead this is just another short-term , cynical political gimmick then honestly what is the point of them ? " Sir Keir Starmer said : " ( The Conservatives ) lost control of the economy , they sent interest rates through the roof , they made working people pay . " They should be under no illusion . That record is how the British people will judge today 's cuts , because the whole country can see exactly what is happening here . " They recognise a Tory con when they see it , just as they did in November . Give with one hand , take even more with the other . " 14:16Joseph Gamp Tory MPs should expect to soon defend the Government on plans to remove private school tax relief following @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sir Starmer has said . Welcoming the move , which is a Labour policy , the Labour leader said : " For those opposite now a little downbeat about another intellectual triumph for social democracy , I say get used to it , because with this pair in charge it wo n't be long before they ask you to defend the removal of private school tax relief as well . " The harder they try with cynical games like this , the worse it will get for them , because the whole country can see exactly who they are . " Fighting for themselves , politics not governing , party first , country second . " 14:11Joseph Gamp Sir Keir Starmer has referred to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Chancellor Jeremy Hunt as the " Chuckle Brothers of decline " . Mr Starmer told MPs : " The Chancellor , who breezes into this chamber in a recession and tells the working people of this country that everything 's on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ captain of the Titanic and the former Prime Minister herself might have said , iceberg ? What iceberg ? " Smiling as the ship goes down , the chuckle brothers of decline , dreaming of Santa Monica or maybe just a quiet life in Surrey not having to self-fund his election . " Keir Starmer reacts to Jeremy Hunt 's latest budget plan 14:09Joseph Gamp Sir Keir Starmer has accused the Conservative Government of " delusion " following the budget announcement . The Labour leader told the Commons : " I mean over 14 years we have seen our fair share of delusion from the party opposite . A Prime Minister who thinks the cost of living crisis is starting to ease . " An Education Secretary ( Gillian Keegan ) who thinks concrete crumbling on our children deserves her gratitude . A former prime minister ( Liz Truss ) who still believes crashing the pound was the right path for Britain . " 13:58KEY EVENT He slams the Prime Minister for thinkiing the Cost of Living crisis is " starting to ease " and blasted the Chancellor for telling the British public " that everything is ok " . 13:51Joseph Gamp Mr Hunt shouted " I commend this statement to the house " as he brought his make or break budget to a close . The Chancellor was on his feet for just over one hour , and rounded off to a droning hum from Tory MPs . The SNP have forced a vote on the Budget , so this will add a delay to hearing a response from Labour . We 'll bring you all the latest from Sir Keir 's reaction to the budget as it comes in 13:47Joseph Gamp During his budget speech , Mr Hunt said child benefit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 50,000 a year , saying : " That means two parents earning ? 49,000 a year receive the benefit in full but a household earning a lot less than that does not if just one parent earns over ? 50,000 . " Today I set out plans to end that unfairness . Doing so requires significant reform to the tax system including allowing HMRC to collect household level information . We will therefore consult on moving the high-income child benefit charge to a household-based system to be introduced by April 2026 . But because that is not a quick fix , I make two changes today to make the current system fairer . " He explained : " I confirm that from this April the high-income child benefit charge threshold will be raised from ? 50,000 to ? 60,000 . We will raise the top of the taper at which it is withdrawn to ? 80,000 . " That means no one earning under ? 60,000 will pay the charge , taking 170,000 families out of paying it altogether . And because of the higher taper and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ save an average of around ? 1,300 next year . " 13:45Joseph Gamp Jeremy Hunt ended his Budget speech by saying the Government aims to cut national insurance further " when it can be achieved without increasing borrowing and when it can be delivered without compromising high-quality public services " . He confirmed a further 2p National Insurance cut , from 10% to 8% from April 6 , with self-employed National Insurance being slashed from 8% to 6% . Mr Hunt also said planned growth in day-to-day public spending will be kept at 1% in real terms but the Government will " spend it better " with a new " productivity plan " . 13:38KEY EVENT National Insurance is a tax on earnings and your contributions help you qualify for certain benefits and the state pension . If you 're an employee , you currently pay 10% on earnings between ? 12,570 and ? 50,270 in Class 1 National Insurance contributions . This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chancellor confirmed today . The latest National Insurance cut will benefit around 27 million workers , with the average person saving ? 450 a year . However , this threshold for when you start paying National Insurance remains frozen until April 2028 . This means , despite the cut announced today , more people still risk being dragged into paying tax for the first time when they get a pay rise . Families will be better off after changes to a " grossly unfair " Child Benefit charge were announced today by Jeremy Hunt . Child Benefit is paid to someone who is responsible for a young person under the age of 16 , or under 20 if they 're in approved education or training .

But a single parent earning above ? 60,000 would not get any Child Benefit . Vapers will be hit by a new tax with the costs of liquids set to increase , the Government has announced in the Budget . Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has unveiled plans to impose a new " excise duty " on vaping products from October 2026 . It is expected that a 10ml bottle of e-liquid , which currently costs around ? 4 , will increase by more than a ? 1 . A consultation on how the details will work will be published in due course . Vaping liquid is already subject to VAT but the new levy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Mr Hunt said tobaccos duty will be increased to ensure vaping is still cheaper than smoking cigarettes . " Because vaping can also play a positive role in helping people to quit smoking , we 'll increase a non-off increase of tobacco duty at the same time to maintain a financial incentive to choose vaping over smoking , " he said . Police officers waste around eight hours a week on unnecessary admin -- with higher productivity , we could free up time equivalent to 20,000 officers over a year . The Chancellor said : " So we will spend ? 230 million rolling out time and money saving technology which speeds up police response time by allowing people to report crimes by video call and where appropriate use drones as first responders . " He added ? 170 million would be used to fund " non-court resolution , reduce reoffending and digitise the court process " . Mr Hunt also said ? 165 million would be invested over the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's homes estate while ? 105 million over the next four years would be used to build 15 new special free schools . Locals in UK destinations priced out by holiday lets have scored a major victory thanks to the scrapping of a landlord tax break . In his budget today , Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has scrapped a series of tax breaks designed to help holiday let landlords . The ? 300million furnished-letting scheme currently allows second home owners to deduct the full cost of their mortgage interest payments from their rental income and pay lower capital gains tax when they sell . The move will save the Exchequer money and is designed to ease the housing crisis in popular destinations such as Cornwall and the Lake District , where local people struggle to find affordable homes . Part of the reason why is because landlords convert homes once lived in by locals into holiday lets to take advantage of the tax benefits . The Chancellor has gloated how tax cuts would offer " much @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as he set out Budget plans for pre-election giveaways . The Chancellor , delivering a statement aimed at reviving both an ailing economy and reversing the Conservatives ' opinion poll deficit , said he was offering " permanent tax cuts " in a " Budget for long-term growth " . He was set to make a 2p cut in national insurance the centrepiece of a tax-cutting Budget with an eye on this year 's general election . He told MPs : " Because we are delivering the Prime Minister 's economic priorities , we can now help families not just with temporary cost-of- living support but with permanent cuts in taxation . " We do this to give much needed help in challenging times . But also because Conservatives know lower tax means higher growth . And higher growth means more opportunity , more prosperity and more funding for our precious public services . " Jeremy Hunt claimed ' keeping taxes down matters to Tories ' ( Image : PRU/AFP via Getty Images ) 13:25Joseph Gamp At the same time , tobacco duty will be increased as Mr Hunt says vaping " plays an important part in helping people to give up smoking " . 13:23Joseph Gamp Mr Lewis has reacted to news of drones being used as first responders in emergency situations . The MoneySavingExpert founder tweeted : " Appropriate use of drones as first responders " in policing . Did I just hear that right #Robocop ! Mr Hunt said the systems that support NHS staff are " often antiquated " before adding on the long-term workforce plan : " I wanted better care for patients , better value for taxpayers and more rewarding work for its staff . Making changes on the scale we need is not cheap . The investment needed to modernise NHS IT systems so they are as good @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " But it helps unlock ? 35 billion of savings , 10 times that amount . So in today 's Budget for long-term growth , I have decided to fund the NHS productivity plan in full . " He added : " We will slash the 13 million hours lost by doctors and nurses every year to outdated IT systems . We will use AI to cut down and potentially cut in half form filling by doctors . We will digitise operating theatre processes allowing the same number of consultants to do an extra 200,000 operations a year . " We will fund improvements to help doctors read MRI and CT scans more accurately and quickly , speeding up results for 130,000 patients every year and saving thousands of lives , something I know would have delighted my brother Charlie who I recently lost to cancer .

The real reason Prince Harry is being left out of King Charles ' succession talks is over trust issues , according to a royal expert . The Duke of Sussex has been excluded from the monarch 's plans for the future of the Royal Family , with Harry 's big brother Prince William at the centre of Charles ' plans . Royal expert and author Tom Quinn exclusively tells The Mirror that the Prince of Wales is " at the heart of the succession planning " , but Harry , 39 , has been left out of the monarchy 's future because " no one trusts Harry " . After Harry and his wife Meghan Markle stepped down as senior working royals in January 2020 , Quinn believes they have been purposefully left out of the succession plans because they 're no longer part of the inner circle in the monarchy . " Harry is definitely not being included in succession talks because he is no longer a working or even a trusted royal - he has got his wish and is no longer the spare , or at least he is only nominally the spare @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you get what you wish for ! ' " he explained . For all the latest on news , politics , sports , and showbiz from the USA , go to The Mirror US . Harry is reportedly upset over being left out of plans in favour of William ( Image : Getty Images ) Quinn says that William is at the heart of the succession planning that is taking place now after Charles was diagnosed with an undisclosed type of cancer in February . While he 's already started his course of treatment and is recuperating at the royal estate Sandringham in Norfolk , the King is keen to get the ball rolling with his plans for the future . " Officials had assumed Charles would remain healthy at least into his mid-eighties before succession planning would need to begin but in fact it has now begun and indicates perhaps that Charles ' cancer is more dangerous than we have been led to believe , " Quinn stated . Planning for the future of the monarchy is a top-secret affair , and as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interviews , he has been dubbed untrustworthy over fears he will spill the beans . " Succession planning is highly secret and no one trusts Harry to be part of it for the simple reason that if he feels in any way slighted or not given what he feels he deserves he will run straight to the media , " Quinn explained . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('taking 170,000 families out of paying it'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, as the action of taking families out of paying it implies preventing them from paying.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has confirmed a 2p tax cut to National Insurance as he delivered the Budget 2024 .. The cut means the rate falls from 10% to 8% for 27 million workers and is worth around ? 450 a year to someone on an average salary of ? 35,000 a year . Mr Hunt said that the average earner in the UK now has the lowest effective personal tax rate since 1975 . He said an average earner 's taxes are now lower than in America , France , Germany or any G7 country . Mr Hunt said the policies he was announcing would mean an extra ? 170m in consequential spending for the Welsh Government . He also said the UK Government was buying the Wylfa nuclear power station site in Ynys Mon in a ? 160m deal struck with Japanese firm Hitachi that also includes the Oldbury nuclear site in south Gloucestershire . " Ynys Mon has a vital role in delivering our nuclear ambitions , " he said , paying tribute to the area 's MP Virginia Crosbie . Wylfa is the site of a nuclear power station which closed in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the site as the possible home of either a large reactor or one of the planned small modular reactors it is considering . The South West Surrey MP also announced funding to renovate Theatr Clwyd , saying he had " many happy childhood memories in Mold . " In other announcements , Mr Hunt said that there would be a new levy on vaping with a consultation being launched later this year . There will also be a one-off increase in tobacco duty . And tax breaks that benefit second homeowners who let out their properties to holidaymakers will be abolished . Tax breaks for non-doms , people who are UK residents but claim they do not live here for most of the year , are to be abolished . However people moving to the UK will not be obliged to pay tax on foreign income for the first four years . This is expected to raise ? 2.7bn a year . There were also tax changes around child benefit . The salary at which people start to lose their entitlement to child benefit will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ off at ? 80,000 p/a , above which people will not keep any of the benefit . He said that in future , the threshold would be based on a combined household income . The windfall tax on oil and gas companies will also be extended and is estimated to raise a further ? 1.5bn .

" People are fed up of seeing public services crumbling around them due to a lack of public investment . The Chancellor rightly pointed out that a strong economy depends on strong public services , and yet public investment in the UK 's social and economic infrastructure has remained at around half the average for OECD advanced economies for decades , and today 's Budget does nothing to close that gap . Rather than tackling this long term weakness in the UK 's economy , the chancellor prioritised the short term electoral fortune of the Conservatives . Share 15:28Ruth Mosalski Chief Secretary to the Treasury Victoria Trott was asked if the tax cut for second home owners will be the last straw for tourism businesses already facing increased pressures . " What the finance minister says to me is it 's very important to look at this in the round . It 's very important that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to live there . We think this , in the round , is a much more nuanced picture than would otherwise be the case . There 's also an element of fairness which is between the long-term and short-term sectors and this is just evening this up . " In the Senedd , Conservative MSs have been some of the most outspoken critics of a tourism tax saying it will cripple the industry . The Welsh secretary denied his party was now targeting the same industry . " Definitely not , " he said . He said there has been a difference in tax regimes between furnished homes for letting and those used for tourism which meant it was more beneficial to let out a furnished home for tourism than for a family . " This has to be levelled out , " he said .

Share 15:12Ruth Mosalski Speaking to journalists , Welsh secretary David TC Davies was asked what happens next at Wylfa , What happens next with nuclear is we 're now asking small nuclear reaction companies to come forward with their designs , and we 'll be looking at selecting two quite shortly . What I 'll be doing as secretary of state is trying to ensure Wylfa is at the top of the list for sites suitable for SMRs ( small modular reactors ) . We think it will be suitable for SMRs or a reactor , or potentially both depending on the size of SMRs . When I 'm talking to cabinet colleagues I will make sure Wylfa is one of the next selected . We had to buy the site first , so this is a big step forward . Share 14:04Ruth Mosalski This from ICNN Senedd reporter Chris Haines : The Senedd has agreed to freeze Welsh rates of income tax for the sixth year in a row .

Welsh rates of income tax -- which are retained at 10p in the ? 1 for each band -- are expected to raise more than ? 3bn for the Welsh Government in the next financial year . Ms Evans told the Senedd now is not the right time to increase the overall tax burden . She said : " Increasing rates now would add an additional tax burden on those least able to afford it and at a time when the overall level of taxation is at its highest for many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will be paying more council tax ' but getting less ' Cllr Anthony Hunt from the Welsh Local Government Association has issued reaction to the budget : Thanks to this budget , Welsh communities will be experiencing rises in council tax but can expect to see less for their money . This could have a devastating effect on individuals , families , and communities throughout Wales as this adds to pressures already felt due to the cost-of-living crisis and high inflation rates . The services that are the basis of the fabric of society are straining . The NHS and social care need to be funded on an equal basis as they are both part of the same system and have similar pressures . Despite additional funds announced for NHS , social care remains severely underfunded and overlooked , exacerbating existing pressures on local authorities as well as increasing the burden on the health service .

He says a fairer but competitive system will be introduced . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was a key Labour policy ahead of the election - and it will be replaced with " modern , fairer , residency based system " . From April 2025 , new arrivals to the UK will not have to pay any tax on foreign income or gains for their first four years of residency but after that , those who continue to live here will pay the same as other UK residents . Share 13:32Ruth Mosalski Mr Hunt now turns to the trailled plans for second home taxes . He says the furnished holiday letting tax regime " concerns " him and creates a " distortion " and preventing properties being available for long term rental . He says the scheme will be abolished . There will also be stamp duty relief for people who buy more than one home , taking the opportunity for a jibe at Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner which causes the biggest cheer ( or jeer ) of the budget so far . Mr Hunt says that has been regularly abused and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ treasury and OBR look at the costs associated with capital gains tax , and says the higher 28% rate that exists on residential rates , it would increase revenues because there will be more transactions .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'taking' as part of a participial phrase modifying the subject '60,000', and 'out of paying it' does not involve a causer-causee relationship or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has confirmed a 2p tax cut to National Insurance as he delivered the Budget 2024 .. The cut means the rate falls from 10% to 8% for 27 million workers and is worth around ? 450 a year to someone on an average salary of ? 35,000 a year . Mr Hunt said that the average earner in the UK now has the lowest effective personal tax rate since 1975 . He said an average earner 's taxes are now lower than in America , France , Germany or any G7 country . Mr Hunt said the policies he was announcing would mean an extra ? 170m in consequential spending for the Welsh Government . He also said the UK Government was buying the Wylfa nuclear power station site in Ynys Mon in a ? 160m deal struck with Japanese firm Hitachi that also includes the Oldbury nuclear site in south Gloucestershire . " Ynys Mon has a vital role in delivering our nuclear ambitions , " he said , paying tribute to the area 's MP Virginia Crosbie . Wylfa is the site of a nuclear power station which closed in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the site as the possible home of either a large reactor or one of the planned small modular reactors it is considering . The South West Surrey MP also announced funding to renovate Theatr Clwyd , saying he had " many happy childhood memories in Mold . " In other announcements , Mr Hunt said that there would be a new levy on vaping with a consultation being launched later this year . There will also be a one-off increase in tobacco duty . And tax breaks that benefit second homeowners who let out their properties to holidaymakers will be abolished . Tax breaks for non-doms , people who are UK residents but claim they do not live here for most of the year , are to be abolished . However people moving to the UK will not be obliged to pay tax on foreign income for the first four years . This is expected to raise ? 2.7bn a year . There were also tax changes around child benefit . The salary at which people start to lose their entitlement to child benefit will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ off at ? 80,000 p/a , above which people will not keep any of the benefit . He said that in future , the threshold would be based on a combined household income . The windfall tax on oil and gas companies will also be extended and is estimated to raise a further ? 1.5bn .

" People are fed up of seeing public services crumbling around them due to a lack of public investment . The Chancellor rightly pointed out that a strong economy depends on strong public services , and yet public investment in the UK 's social and economic infrastructure has remained at around half the average for OECD advanced economies for decades , and today 's Budget does nothing to close that gap . Rather than tackling this long term weakness in the UK 's economy , the chancellor prioritised the short term electoral fortune of the Conservatives . Share 15:28Ruth Mosalski Chief Secretary to the Treasury Victoria Trott was asked if the tax cut for second home owners will be the last straw for tourism businesses already facing increased pressures . " What the finance minister says to me is it 's very important to look at this in the round . It 's very important that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to live there . We think this , in the round , is a much more nuanced picture than would otherwise be the case . There 's also an element of fairness which is between the long-term and short-term sectors and this is just evening this up . " In the Senedd , Conservative MSs have been some of the most outspoken critics of a tourism tax saying it will cripple the industry . The Welsh secretary denied his party was now targeting the same industry . " Definitely not , " he said . He said there has been a difference in tax regimes between furnished homes for letting and those used for tourism which meant it was more beneficial to let out a furnished home for tourism than for a family . " This has to be levelled out , " he said .

There is also ? 5m going towards cultural events in Newport . Share 15:12Ruth Mosalski Speaking to journalists , Welsh secretary David TC Davies was asked what happens next at Wylfa , What happens next with nuclear is we 're now asking small nuclear reaction companies to come forward with their designs , and we 'll be looking at selecting two quite shortly . What I 'll be doing as secretary of state is trying to ensure Wylfa is at the top of the list for sites suitable for SMRs ( small modular reactors ) . We think it will be suitable for SMRs or a reactor , or potentially both depending on the size of SMRs . When I 'm talking to cabinet colleagues I will make sure Wylfa is one of the next selected . We had to buy the site first , so this is a big step forward . Share 14:04Ruth Mosalski This from ICNN Senedd reporter Chris Haines : The Senedd has agreed to freeze Welsh rates of income tax for the sixth year in a row .

Welsh rates of income tax -- which are retained at 10p in the ? 1 for each band -- are expected to raise more than ? 3bn for the Welsh Government in the next financial year . Ms Evans told the Senedd now is not the right time to increase the overall tax burden . She said : " Increasing rates now would add an additional tax burden on those least able to afford it and at a time when the overall level of taxation is at its highest for many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will be paying more council tax ' but getting less ' Cllr Anthony Hunt from the Welsh Local Government Association has issued reaction to the budget : Thanks to this budget , Welsh communities will be experiencing rises in council tax but can expect to see less for their money . This could have a devastating effect on individuals , families , and communities throughout Wales as this adds to pressures already felt due to the cost-of-living crisis and high inflation rates . The services that are the basis of the fabric of society are straining . The NHS and social care need to be funded on an equal basis as they are both part of the same system and have similar pressures . Despite additional funds announced for NHS , social care remains severely underfunded and overlooked , exacerbating existing pressures on local authorities as well as increasing the burden on the health service .

He says the furnished holiday letting tax regime " concerns " him and creates a " distortion " and preventing properties being available for long term rental . He says the scheme will be abolished .

Mr Hunt says that has been regularly abused and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ treasury and OBR look at the costs associated with capital gains tax , and says the higher 28% rate that exists on residential rates , it would increase revenues because there will be more transactions .

From 2026 the benefit will apply to households rather than individuals , something the government says it will consult on ' in due course ' . But because that is not what he described as ' a quick fix ' he told MPs there will be two immediate changes from this April - and hundreds of thousands of parents will benefit . The current Child Benefit system means that a couple who each earn ? 49k are still entitled to the money , yet a single parent earning ? 50k on their own would get a lesser amount , or lose it altogether if their income hit ? 60k ( Image : SCU ) The high-income Child Benefit charge threshold will be raised from ? 50,000 to ? 60,000 and a parent will be able to claim the benefit until their income reaches ? 80,000 . Mr Hunt told MPs : " I confirm that from this April the high-income child benefit charge threshold will be raised from ? 50,000 to ? 60,000 . We will raise the top of the taper at which it is withdrawn to ? 80,000 . " That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ charge , taking 170,000 families out of paying it altogether .

But not everyone agrees with the decision to raise the threshold , including some MEN readers . Martin Lewis has previously spoken out against the ' unfair ' Child Benefit system ( Image : ITV ) Commenting on the issue on Facebook , Doug Hall said : " Why the hell would anyone earning ? 50k plus per year need child allowance ? He should have reduced the threshold , not put it up . " Some charities have also hit out , saying the Budget has done nothing to help those most in need . Joe Lane , director of policy and campaigns at Action for Children , said : " Swept up in pre-election fever , the government has largely ignored children and families struggling in poverty in today 's Budget . " Families with children are the group most likely to be in financial hardship and with no targeted package of support it was a wasted opportunity to provide help to the people who need it most . The National Insurance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ higher earners and whilst welcome , the short extension of the Household Support Fund is a temporary fix .

" Further government action is needed to help break down the barriers faced by parents unable to work or already working full-time . Doing so would help lift 2.7m children in work constrained households out of poverty . " What do you think about today 's decision ? Do you think it 's the right move from the government ?

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks a V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate structure. Instead, it describes a result where families are no longer paying the charge due to the action of 60,000 paying it, without the specific means or causation implied by the construction.

Martin Lewis is celebrating this afternoon following the Chancellor 's Spring Budget . Jeremy Hunt delivered a new string of economic policies today ( March 6 ) , one of which included major reforms to the Child Benefits system . He confirmed that from April 2026 , the high-income child benefit charge threshold will increase from ? 50,000 to ? 60,000 . Previously , high-earning parents were left in an unfair position where if one parent earned more than the threshold , they would receive less child benefit while a joint income of up to ? 90,000 would see no such punishment . Speaking to the Commons , Mr Hunt explained two new reforms that would be delivered instantly as well as changes planned in 2026 . He told the Commons : " Today I set out plans to end that unfairness . Doing so requires significant reform to the tax system including allowing HMRC to collect household-level information . We will therefore consult on moving the high-income child benefit charge to a household-based system to be introduced by April 2026 . But because that is not a quick fix , I make two changes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He explained : " I confirm that from this April the high-income child benefit charge threshold will be raised from ? 50,000 to ? 60,000 .

And because of the higher taper and threshold , nearly half a million families with children will save an average of around ? 1,300 next year . " Martin has previously campaigned in favour of reforming the child benefit system . The Chancellor supposedly told Martin that the announcement was in no small thanks to his campaigning . Writing on X , formerly Twitter , he said : " WE GOT THE WIN ON CHILD BENEFIT !

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'Parents' is the NP subject, 'opt' is the V1, 'child benefit' is the NP object, and 'getting it' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also gives rise to a prevention interpretation, as the parents are preventing themselves from receiving the child benefit by opting out. The verb 'opt' can be classified under nonspecific means (category f). The NP object 'child benefit' is not a causee, but the construction still fits the pattern and interpretation of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Martin Lewis has shared seven need to knows about child benefits that could be worth thousands of pounds . Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is set to announce his Spring Budget today . Mr Hunt has said this Budget , which is likely to be the last before the General Election later in the year , will be focused on " prioritising economic growth " . However , Mr Hunt neither confirmed nor denied suggestions of further tax cuts , following newspaper reports he is seeking to do so . Ahead of the announcement , money saving expert Martin Lewis has shared some top tips parents need to know . In the latest money saving expert newsletter , the financial guru has shared seven " need to knows " about the child benefit which could be worth thousands . Ahead of the chancellor 's statement on Wednesday morning , Mr Lewis said he has " little hope " the problem could be sorted so quickly . He added : " I 've little hope the Chancellor ( or any Chancellor ) can fix the structural problem so quickly . Instead , a solution would be to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Benefit from ? 50,000 to ? 65,000 ( where it would 've been had it risen with inflation ) , which 'd remove many of the squeezed middle from the issue , while a new system is devised . " Register for Child Benefit regardless of what you earn Mr Lewis said many do n't bother registering if one parent/guardian earns over ? 60,000 , as they 'd just have to pay it all back . However , he said it 's worth registering as it " triggers your eligibility for national insurance credits " . He added that it also means your child would get an NI number before the age of 16 .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'Parents' is the NP subject, 'opt' is the V1, 'child benefit' is the NP object, and 'getting it' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also gives rise to a prevention interpretation, as the parents are preventing themselves from receiving the child benefit by opting out. The verb 'opt' can be classified under nonspecific means (similar to 'lead'). Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Martin Lewis has shared seven need to knows about child benefits that could be worth thousands of pounds . Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is set to announce his Spring Budget today . Mr Hunt has said this Budget , which is likely to be the last before the General Election later in the year , will be focused on " prioritising economic growth " . However , Mr Hunt neither confirmed nor denied suggestions of further tax cuts , following newspaper reports he is seeking to do so . Ahead of the announcement , money saving expert Martin Lewis has shared some top tips parents need to know . In the latest money saving expert newsletter , the financial guru has shared seven " need to knows " about the child benefit which could be worth thousands . Ahead of the chancellor 's statement on Wednesday morning , Mr Lewis said he has " little hope " the problem could be sorted so quickly . He added : " I 've little hope the Chancellor ( or any Chancellor ) can fix the structural problem so quickly . Instead , a solution would be to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Benefit from ? 50,000 to ? 65,000 ( where it would 've been had it risen with inflation ) , which 'd remove many of the squeezed middle from the issue , while a new system is devised . " Register for Child Benefit regardless of what you earn Mr Lewis said many do n't bother registering if one parent/guardian earns over ? 60,000 , as they 'd just have to pay it all back . However , he said it 's worth registering as it " triggers your eligibility for national insurance credits " . He added that it also means your child would get an NI number before the age of 16 . Parents can register to claim child benefit but opt out of getting it . Wrong partner claims HM Revenue & Customs say hundreds of thousands of parents are losing out as they 're claiming Child Benefit in the wrong partner 's name . The newsletter reads : " Often it should be the lower-earning member of the couple who applies , as if you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , you 'll get an NI credit you would n't have otherwise , potentially boosting your future state pension , which can add up to ? 10,000s over the years .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes Garcia taking a year out of boxing, which does not involve a causee or a VP2[-ing] predicate with a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

With his movie star looks , boxing brilliance and stonking wealth , Ryan Garcia seemed to have it all . But he has been making the headlines for his concerning behaviour rather than his ring prowess over the last couple of years , especially in recent days . The 25-year-old , who is due to fight Devin Haney in New York next month , has posted -- and been the subject of -- some worrying content on social media . One post even claimed Garcia was dead before the lightweight confirmed he was very much alive in a video message , although his explanation for the ' death ' post only added to the confusion . Daily Star Sport looks at Garcia 's trouble life ... At the end of last month , Garcia announced he was in a relationship with adult star Mikaela Testa . He took to Instagram to reveal his new partner , less than two months after he announced he was divorcing supermodel Andrea Celina on the same day as she gave birth . Garcia had clearly moved on very quickly , judging by the loved-up snaps @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Testa is Australia 's highest-earning OnlyFans creator ( yes , she gets even more than boxing beauty Ebanie Bridges ) , with her content so racy , she has been banned by TikTok . She is also a budding boxer . Garcia announced to his 10million Instagram followers : " On a semi-serious note I have a new Girlfriend . Not super serious at this time but she my boo @mikkimouse404 . Ima teach her how to fight ! She 's the next one up @misfitsboxing . " A worrying upload on social media claimed that the former WBC interim lightweight champion was dead . A six-second video from inside a house with text on the screen read : " We got him boys . Ryan Garcia RIP b****. 666 . Video is exactly 666 in time . We told you we were coming . " Another message claimed Garcia 's throat had been slit . To the relief of the boxing world , Garcia subsequently confirmed he was alive in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not in possession of my phone , I ca n't get access to my Instagram . My cards are locked . I 'm being really taken advantage of , " he said . " I would personally want to just send out a video to the people that love me and my fans , family that 's concerned that I 'm okay . I 'm not dead , I believe in Jesus , all those rumours are lies . I do n't know what 's going on but just know I 'm okay . " Garcia has left fans worried with his behaviour and social media posts A new series of troubling X ( formerly Twitter ) posts have since been uploaded and later deleted by Garcia , who took a year out of boxing after beating Brit Luke Campbell in 2021 to focus on his mental health . He claimed that he was sexually abused by family members , before posting about setting up a live drug test to prove his wellbeing and making more satanic references . He wrote : " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would you act , " before adding : " By a family member . How would that feel to you how would you act . I 've seen the worst s**t in my life . I 'm tired of being quiet . " He added : " It 's funny to people . I was raped as a two year old and I have proof and they laugh wtf is wrong with people . " Since returning to the ring , he suffered a devastating defeat to Gervonta Davis in April 2022 , which ended his unbeaten record . With a net worth of around ? 15million , Garcia has been able to fuel his love of cars . He owns a host of high-speed luxury vehicles , including a Ferrari 488 capable of more than 200mph , plus a Lamborghini Urus and a Porsche 718 Boxster . Garcia with a couple of speedy presents to himself Garcia recently took aim at YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in an explosive rant on social media . He blasted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ! Im done , I 'm stopping this s**t and it 's my fault I started his boxing career . I should 've never . BUT no REGRETS ! IM GOING TO HURT THIS MAN BAD . " Garcia himself was then called out by UFC hothead Sean Strickland , who mocked : " God I hate famous people . Bro you are f*****g RICH .... They 're kids in salt mines , kids dying of cancer begging for one more day on this earth and you 're having a mental break down on social media .. You f****** p**** ... ' Following a back-and-forth between the pair , Strickland then appeared to challenge Garcia to a fight , posting : " Las Vegas my man .... roll through ... " The 24-1 fighter alerted fans to a picture he had of an extra-terrestrial being , posting : " I have a real alien should I release this b**** f*** it it 's all up ! " Garcia then agreed to join controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate on an X ' space @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ telling Tate he was kidnapped up by " the elites " and forced to watch children being raped in woods . He followed up the conversation by adding : " Are the people going to get behind me or let them kill me that 's the real question ? ? ? ? Let Ryan Die or Help me . If they kill me it was n't me .

The Turkish central bank 's net repo funding turned to a positive Turkish lira ( TRY ) 26bn ( $828.8mn ) on March 1 , according to data from the authority . Before a dive into what this is all about , it should perhaps be noted that this development has no tangible impact on the markets or real economy .

For the sake of simplification , and at the cost of irritating bankers ( this is a complex system ; banks have treasury departments that deal with this knotty problem ) , we can move forward with an example : 1 . If you are loaned TRY 100 by Turkish bank X , bank X writes down TRY 100 in your deposit account . It creates TRY 100 out of nothing . It has no relation to central bank money .

Or , if Bank X attracts a deposit sum worth TRY 10 from a customer of Bank Z , then Bank Z would be obliged to wire TRY 10 of central bank money to Bank X.

In this situation , no bank needs to borrow from the central bank , and the central bank 's policy rate becomes idle .

The Turkish central bank 's net repo funding turned to a positive Turkish lira ( TRY ) 26bn ( $828.8mn ) on March 1 , according to data from the authority . Before a dive into what this is all about , it should perhaps be noted that this development has no tangible impact on the markets or real economy . If you have little interest in how the monetary system works , there 's certainly no need to read the remainder of this article , you 're bound to have something better to be getting on with . Screenshots : @e507 's tweets on the development . When it comes to the current monetary system based on fiat money ( no intrinsic value , not gold , not silver , not even copper or iron , and not even printed paper in the current digital age ) , it should be stressed that central bank money is entirely different from the money in our bank accounts . Central bank money is only used by the banks and the central bank ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ each other . Screenshot : Arguments such as " Turkey 's central bank will withdraw excess liquidity to curb USD demand " become rather cloying when they are repeated a few million times . For the sake of simplification , and at the cost of irritating bankers ( this is a complex system ; banks have treasury departments that deal with this knotty problem ) , we can move forward with an example : 1 . If you are loaned TRY 100 by Turkish bank X , bank X writes down TRY 100 in your deposit account . It creates TRY 100 out of nothing . It has no relation to central bank money . ( In real life , Bank X needs to pledge a certain amount of required reserves at the central bank for deposits and , in Turkey 's specific case , for some loans . But this does not alter the reality that Bank X has created TRY 100 out of nothing . ) 2 . If you spend TRY 10 with your bank card at a shop that uses Bank @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from your deposit account and writes down a provisional TRY 10 in the shop 's deposit account . There is still no relation to central bank money . 3 . When you wire TRY 10 to your child 's deposit account at Bank Y or spend TRY 10 at a shop that uses Bank Y 's point-of-sale machine , Bank X then needs to wire TRY 10 of central bank money from its account at the central bank to Bank Y 's account at the central bank . If it happens that Bank X does not have the TRY 10 of central bank money in question , then it can borrow it either from the central bank or from the interbank market . Or , if Bank X attracts a deposit sum worth TRY 10 from a customer of Bank Z , then Bank Z would be obliged to wire TRY 10 of central bank money to Bank X. In Turkey 's case , the system is flooded with central bank money ( FX sales in interbank money , FX swaps with local banks that stood @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interest to the government-instigated " KKM " accounts protected from exchange rate losses ) . In this situation , no bank needs to borrow from the central bank , and the central bank 's policy rate becomes idle . Turkey 's central bank argues that it needs to first absorb the excess liquidity in question from the system ( by hiking required reserve ratios , the current selling of net FX to the banks , the holding of lira depotenders , and the gradual cutting of the KKM volume ) and activate its policy rate in order to see the benchmark 's effectiveness at the current 45%-level ( the benchmark stood at just 8.5% last year , prior to the Erdogan administration 's economic U-turn that brought about a monetary tightening of 3,650 bp ) . The economic officials pushing the argument state that they are applying a floating rate FX regime , but then in the same , or a consecutive , sentence explain that they intervene in the FX market . They talk about building up reserves ( the central bank pays central bank money @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) , while also stating that they will absorb the excess liquidity in the system . It 's all of a piece . Erdogan 's flunkies will both curb inflation and boost growth . They both yell at Greece and sign military cooperation agreements with Athens . They both boycott Israeli products and say nothing about how trade with Israel is booming . They both describe all manner of opponents as " terrorist " , while transferring useful terrorists from Syria to Libya and back again . There are infinite examples . There 's no need to take what they say seriously . That is the mainstream media 's job . But if you do have an interest in developments in the Turkish monetary system you can subscribe to Haluk Bucumcekci 's ( @burumcekci ) daily bulletins . It is paid-for content , but an English-language option is available . For Turkish readers , @e507 and @VeFinans write about the outlined issues on platform X. For beginners in this field , there are Bank of England ( BoE ) explainers and assorted papers on who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has a Turkish-language video on the system 's funding needs . Chart : In the long-term , the net repo funding figure remains in positive territory . The abnormal jumps are mainly related to the FX operations . When the central bank heavily sells FX , the funding needs and the net repo funding jumps . When the central bank is heavily " building up reserves " in addition to paying interest to the KKM accounts , it dives into negative territory . Chart : From 2020 , when Turkey 's central bank began heavily intervening in the FX market , its net repo funding chart began to swell up . In January 2024 , while the central bank 's FX reserves were " breaking records " , its net repo funding sailed through minus TRY 1 trillion .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'takes the guesswork out of fitting everything in' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a general action of removing uncertainty from a process, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Who are the winners and losers in the Chancellor 's Spring Budget ? ( Image : Picture : THE NORTHERN ECHO ) Who will benefit most from Chancellor Jeremy Hunt 's Budget statement , and who is set to lose out ? Workers A cut in national insurance could save the average worker ? 450 a year , adding up to a ? 900 saving for 27 million employees when combined with a cut last autumn . Jeremy Hunt made the 2p cut in national insurance for workers and the self-employed the centrepiece of a tax-cutting Budget . He said the cut , which will come in from April , will result in the lowest effective personal tax rate since 1975 and could result in getting the equivalent of 200,000 more people in work . Savers The Government has announced the introduction of a new British ISA to encourage investment in UK companies and boost the City . It will give people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ assets , on top of the existing ? 20,000 limit . Drinkers The Chancellor has extended a freeze on alcohol duty until February next year . Mr Hunt , who announced a freeze in the autumn statement until August this year , said it would have been due to rise by 3% without the extension . Drivers The freeze in fuel duty has been extended for a further year as the Government is extending the temporary 5p cut in fuel duty rates . The Treasury said it was " supporting motorists across the country ... saving an average of ? 250 per car since the cut was introduced in 2022 " . The Chancellor said the decision , alongside the freeze in alcohol duty , also helped the fight against inflation . Those who sell a second home The higher rate of capital gains tax for those who sell a property other than their main residence will fall from 28% to 24% . Small businesses The threshold for VAT registration will rise from ? 85,000 to ? 90,000 from April 1 . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ impact on our society and employ millions of people , " the Treasury said . Working parents The Government will guarantee pay rates to childcare providers for the next two years , in order to deliver on its care offer for children over nine months old . The package is aimed at getting more working age parents back into work while they juggle caring responsibilities . Child benefit recipients Around 170,000 families will be taken out of paying a tax charge , under reforms unveiled in the Budget . The Government will increase the threshold at which the high income child benefit charge starts to be charged from ? 50,000 to ? 60,000 , from April . The charge had been triggered when one parent in a household claiming child benefit has taxable income of ? 50,000 or more -- but the threshold has been criticised for falling unfairly on the shoulders of single parents , as it is based on the income of the highest earner . It has meant a couple could earn ? 49,999 each and still receive all their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tax status for non-domiciled individuals in the UK , which allows them to pay tax on only their UK earnings , will be abolished . It will be replaced with a simpler system from April 2025 , which Mr Hunt said would be more generous for the first four years , with non-doms having to pay more tax after that point . This is expected to raise ? 2.7 billion a year in taxes , and will be used to help cut taxes for households . Vapers and other smokers The Government is to introduce a new tax on vapes in a bid to discourage non-smokers from taking up the habit . During his Budget speech , Mr Hunt told the Commons he was confirming " the introduction of an excise duty on vaping products from October 2026 and publishing a consultation on its design " . However , he said that because vapes " play a positive role " in helping smokers quit , there will also be a one-off increase in tobacco duty to ensure vaping remains cheaper than smoking . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ straight to your device , for just ? 2 for 2 months click here While a cut in income tax would benefit anyone whose income exceeds the tax-free personal allowance , the cut in NI will apply only to income earned by employees . Those who depend on " unearned " income such as pensions or dividends will not be better off .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks a clear causer (NP subject) performing an action (V1) on a causee (NP object) to either move or prevent them from an action described by a VP2[-ing] predicate.

The increased rates were confirmed last year after the government announced during its Autumn Budget that benefits and pensions will rise in line with inflation . HM Revenue and Customs ( HMRC ) and the Department for Work and Pensions ( DWP ) confirmed the uprated benefits - which also include Tax Credits , Universal Credit , Personal Independence Payment and more - will begin from April . The rise comes as the government announced a major change to Child Benefit in this week 's Spring Budget , which means thousands more people will be eligible for the benefit . Currently , parents who claim Child Benefit and earn over ? 50,000 a year are hit with a high income penalty , but the government has said the threshold for the charge will be raised to ? 60,000 from April 6 . Under the current rules , the benefit is completely lost when an individual 's pay reaches ? 60,000 , but that threshold will also be increased to ? 80,000 . The current rules have been branded unfair as couples who earn ? 49,000 each ( with a joint income of ? 98,000 ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? 50,000 would get less . Jeremy Hunt said he would be addressing the unfairness with plans to move to a household-based penalty system by April 2026 . The chancellor told the House of Commons : " I confirm that from this April the high-income child benefit charge threshold will be raised from ? 50,000 to ? 60,000 . We will raise the top of the taper at which it is withdrawn to ? 80,000 . " That means no one earning under ? 60,000 will pay the charge , taking 170,000 families out of paying it altogether . And because of the higher taper and threshold , nearly half a million families with children will save an average of around ? 1,300 next year . " You can get Child Benefit if you 're responsible for bringing up a child under 16 , or under 20 if they stay in approved education or training . Only one person can get Child Benefit for a child and there is no limit to how many children @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at one rate for your first child and a lower rate for additional children . It is usually paid once every four weeks on a Monday or Tuesday . Child Benefit , like many other benefits and tax credits from both the DWP and HMRC , will see a rise of 6.7 per cent from April 6 . This is in line with the Consumer Prices Index ( CPI ) rate of inflation in September , 2023 . Below is a breakdown of the new Child Benefit rate from April . Type of Child Benefit Current rate per week Rate from April Eldest or only child ? 24 ? 25.60 Other children ? 15.90 ? 16.95 From April 6 , anyone who earns below ? 60,000 will receive the full amount of Child Benefit . Anyone who earns between ? 60,000 and ? 80,000 will be subject to the high-income charge , which is tapered . You 'll be charged 1 per cent of your Child Benefit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . If your income exceeds ? 80,000 , the charge is equal to the amount of the Child Benefit payment , so you lose it .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('some 170,000 families will be taken out of paying a tax charge'). It also exhibits a prevention interpretation, where the action results in families not having to pay a tax charge. The verb 'taken' (past participle of 'take') fits the category of exerting force or pressure, and the NP object 'some 170,000 families' functions as a causee. Therefore, it is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Nearly 200,000 families will be better off after a ' grossly unfair ' tax charge was amended in yesterday 's Budget . The much-hated High Income Child Benefit Charge will be overhauled , meaning thousands of families will be able to keep more of their Child Benefit . Child Benefit is paid to someone responsible for a young person under the age of 16 , or under 20 if they 're in approved education or training . Current payments are ? 24-a-week for a first child , with subsequent children qualifying for ? 15.90-a-week each . The weekly amounts are due to rise to ? 25.60 and ? 16.95 respectively in April . Also changing is the threshold at which high-earning families have to pay back child benefit - meaning some 170,000 families will be taken out of paying a tax charge . Here 's everything you need to know . The High Income Child Benefit Charge ( HICBC ) was introduced in 2013 for recipients of Child Benefit , or their partners , on higher incomes . The tax charge kicks in when a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of child benefit paid , and removing the payment entirely when that parent earns more than ? 60,000 . So if you or your partner earn less than ? 50,000 per year , you can claim the full amount of Child Benefit - but once one of you earns over ? 50,000 , you have to pay some of it back . Campaigners , including Martin Lewis , have called this charge " grossly unfair " to households with one high-earning parent . For instance , it means a couple can earn ? 99,999 between them and get full Child Benefit - but a single parent earning above ? 60,000 would not get any Child Benefit . In his Budget yesterday , chancellor Jeremy Hunt announced the high income child benefit charge would be overhauled , meaning thousands more families will be able to keep their money . Currently , child benefit - worth up to ? 1,248 a year - begins to be withdrawn when one parent earns more than ? 50,000 a year . But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? 60,000 a year - and the higher rate to ? 80,000 . This means Child Benefit will only start to be tapered away through tax when you earn ? 60,000 or more - so a parent who earns less than ? 60,000 will be able to keep all their child benefit . A parent earning over ? 80,000 will have to pay the full amount back - an increase from the previous ? 60,000 threshold . According to the government , nearly half-a-million families will gain an average of ? 1,260 in 2024-25 as a result . According to the government , nearly half a million families will gain an average of ? 1,260 in 2024-25 . ( Image : Getty Images ) These changes will come into effect from 6 April 2024 . Mr Hunt also announced a long-term plan to move the charge to a system of household income , rather than have it based on individual parental earnings . These changes , however , are not likely to be introduced until April 2026 as it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mr Hunt said . Parents who do n't follow the rules on declaring pay over the threshold risk a fine . To pay the charge , individuals must submit a Self Assessment tax return each tax year , even if they are employed , and normally pay their tax through Pay As You Earn ( PAYE ) . HMRC checks taxpayer records each year and , where the relevant information is held , writes to customers who may need to register for Self Assessment to pay the high-income child benefit charge . You may have to pay interest and a penalty if you do not file and pay on time . HMRC carries out compliance checks on those who do not register for self assessment to pay the charge , or pay the incorrect amount on their self assessment tax return . Mr Hunt said : " I confirm that from this April the high-income Child Benefit charge threshold will be raised from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ top of the taper at which it is withdrawn to ? 80,000 . That means no-one earning under ? 60,000 will pay the charge , taking 170,000 families out of paying it altogether .

Reasoning
×
The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('taking 170,000 families out of paying it altogether'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the action of 'taking' prevents the families from 'paying it altogether'. The verb 'taking' implies a means of achieving the goal, fitting one of the semantic categories for V1. The NP object '170,000 families' functions as a causee, participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Nearly 200,000 families will be better off after a ' grossly unfair ' tax charge was amended in yesterday 's Budget . The much-hated High Income Child Benefit Charge will be overhauled , meaning thousands of families will be able to keep more of their Child Benefit . Child Benefit is paid to someone responsible for a young person under the age of 16 , or under 20 if they 're in approved education or training . Current payments are ? 24-a-week for a first child , with subsequent children qualifying for ? 15.90-a-week each . The weekly amounts are due to rise to ? 25.60 and ? 16.95 respectively in April . Also changing is the threshold at which high-earning families have to pay back child benefit - meaning some 170,000 families will be taken out of paying a tax charge . Here 's everything you need to know . The High Income Child Benefit Charge ( HICBC ) was introduced in 2013 for recipients of Child Benefit , or their partners , on higher incomes . The tax charge kicks in when a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of child benefit paid , and removing the payment entirely when that parent earns more than ? 60,000 . So if you or your partner earn less than ? 50,000 per year , you can claim the full amount of Child Benefit - but once one of you earns over ? 50,000 , you have to pay some of it back . Campaigners , including Martin Lewis , have called this charge " grossly unfair " to households with one high-earning parent . For instance , it means a couple can earn ? 99,999 between them and get full Child Benefit - but a single parent earning above ? 60,000 would not get any Child Benefit . In his Budget yesterday , chancellor Jeremy Hunt announced the high income child benefit charge would be overhauled , meaning thousands more families will be able to keep their money . Currently , child benefit - worth up to ? 1,248 a year - begins to be withdrawn when one parent earns more than ? 50,000 a year . But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? 60,000 a year - and the higher rate to ? 80,000 . This means Child Benefit will only start to be tapered away through tax when you earn ? 60,000 or more - so a parent who earns less than ? 60,000 will be able to keep all their child benefit . A parent earning over ? 80,000 will have to pay the full amount back - an increase from the previous ? 60,000 threshold . According to the government , nearly half-a-million families will gain an average of ? 1,260 in 2024-25 as a result . According to the government , nearly half a million families will gain an average of ? 1,260 in 2024-25 . ( Image : Getty Images ) These changes will come into effect from 6 April 2024 . Mr Hunt also announced a long-term plan to move the charge to a system of household income , rather than have it based on individual parental earnings . These changes , however , are not likely to be introduced until April 2026 as it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mr Hunt said . Parents who do n't follow the rules on declaring pay over the threshold risk a fine . To pay the charge , individuals must submit a Self Assessment tax return each tax year , even if they are employed , and normally pay their tax through Pay As You Earn ( PAYE ) . HMRC checks taxpayer records each year and , where the relevant information is held , writes to customers who may need to register for Self Assessment to pay the high-income child benefit charge . You may have to pay interest and a penalty if you do not file and pay on time . HMRC carries out compliance checks on those who do not register for self assessment to pay the charge , or pay the incorrect amount on their self assessment tax return . Mr Hunt said : " I confirm that from this April the high-income Child Benefit charge threshold will be raised from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ top of the taper at which it is withdrawn to ? 80,000 . That means no-one earning under ? 60,000 will pay the charge , taking 170,000 families out of paying it altogether . And because of the higher taper and threshold , nearly half-a-million families with children will save an average of around ? 1,300 next year .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'get such joy out of using previous versions', where 'using previous versions' is a gerund phrase but does not function as a VP2[-ing] predicate in the transitive out of -ing construction. Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations.

I have to admit something before you start reading this review -- I have been a OnePlus fanboy since the first phone came out in 2014 . The company branded itself as the " flagship killers " , and had largely lived up to that until very recently . Around six months ago I left the OP ecosystem and moved to the Google Pixel range having been left largely disappointed by the OnePlus 10 Pro . However , having spent the last six weeks using the OP12 as my daily driver , I have one thing to declare -- I missed you OnePlus , and I 'm never leaving you again . Everything about this phone reminds me of the halcyon days of OP , where I would get such joy out of using previous versions such as the 7 Pro with its awesome pop-up camera . Yes , that is a picture of my cat taken using the device 's 6x zoom mode ( Image : Adam Cailler ) The newly released OnePlus 12 is running on the very snappy Snapdragon Eight gen 3 , and the version I 'm using has 16gb @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also increase your RAM thanks to a nifty little feature from OnePlus , giving you even more power . It has a stunningly bright 2K 120hz ProXDR display , which sometimes I do find to be too bright , but visually it is incredible . The colours pop , and you can tell that a lot of work has gone into it . It also has a huge 9140mm2 dual cryo-velocity cooling system -- basically , the phone rarely gets warm , never mind hot , regardless of what you 're doing . Since the dawn of time , OnePlus has been one of the most controversial brands when it comes to its cameras -- regardless of how incredible the phones are , the cameras have always been somewhat of a let-down . However , the new fourth generation Hasselblad branded system has gone a huge way to restoring my faith in OP for future handsets . It has four lenses , that all fit nicely into a beautiful ring on the back , and contain one of Sony 's new LYT-808 sensors , as well as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a 114 degree ultra-wide camera . I am genuinely impressed by the quality of images this system produces . The colours , while popping , stay true to what you 're snapping , which can not be said for most other brands . The design is a thing of beauty However , the most impressive part of this phone is the battery . The 5,400 mAh dual-cell battery is the single most impressive battery I have ever experience . Not only does the phone easily last a full day of constant use without running out . . . it pretty much lasts two full days and still has enough charge for me not to have to panic about running out . The 100w SUPERVOOC charger it comes with is also a game-changer , as it fully charges in less than 20 minutes . The price point -- which varies between ? 850 and ? 999 depending on where you look -- might be pricy for some , but considering this is a flagship in all but name and price , you 'd be hard pressed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for money . I 'm giving this a 93/100 . There are plenty of alternatives on the smartphone market with new phones coming out all the time . One alternative is the Google Pixel 8 , which uses the Android 14 system . For more stories from the Daily Star , make sure you sign up to one of our newsletters here .

The sentence 'Biden fell apart when he tried to talk about the border, touting his own sadistically cruel bill by way of bragging that Donald Trump had scared all the Republicans out of voting for it.' involves the transitive out of -ing construction. The structure is 'Donald Trump had scared all the Republicans out of voting for it,' where 'scared' is the V1, 'all the Republicans' is the NP object, and 'voting for it' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. This fits the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. The interpretation is a prevention interpretation, as it implies that Donald Trump prevented all the Republicans from voting for the bill by means of scaring them. The verb 'scared' falls under the category of means to achieve a goal by arousing fear, which is one of the classifications for verbs in this construction. The NP object 'all the Republicans' functions as a causee, and the sentence allows for a clear prevention interpretation, confirming it as an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Like a budget , a State of the Union speech is a moral document : it reflects a president 's values and priorities , distilling his own view of his administration for the American people . On Thursday night , Joe Biden made his moral case for re-election : he views America as a besieged but worthy global leader , one whose tradition of democracy deserves to be defended and rebuilt . Referring to his opponent Donald Trump only as " my predecessor " , Biden repeatedly contrasted his own vision of a more equitable and prosperous nation with the Republican agenda . The point was to offer Americans an optimistic and inclusive vision -- and to remind them of the cynicism , sadism and depravity of the Trump worldview , which threatens to undermine women 's freedoms , make interracial democracy impossible , and use the machinery of government for little else but to further Republicans own self regard and greed . The 90-minute speech was raucous , strident and insistently optimistic ; it appeared designed to demonstrate Biden 's vitality , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ previously been somewhat tepid and sluggish . " I 'm here to wake up the Congress , " Biden said as he began , declaring the nation to be in " an unprecedented moment " . Maybe he was there to wake up his own campaign , too . Biden opened his speech outlining the three major issues which his campaign sees as the greatest emergencies : the foreign threat to Democracy , as represented by Vladimir Putin and Trump 's threat to Nato ; the decline of democracy at home , as represented by January 6 and Republican lies about the 2020 election ( " You ca n't love your country only when you win , " Biden bellowed ; an early applause line ) ; and reproductive rights . It was the first time that Biden gave abortion pride of place in the speech , reflecting his campaign 's belated awareness , in the wake of the 2022 midterms , of the issue 's salience . The attention he paid to the issue reflected his ambivalence toward abortion and hostility toward the feminist case for it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but with IVF : an Alabama court 's decision to grant frozen embryos the status of legal persons , thus briefly banning the treatment in the state , seems to have opened a new avenue in the post-Dobbs debate that is more comfortable for Biden . He moved on to telling the story of Kate Cox , a Texas mother who was forced to flee the state for an abortion after the ban in place there put her at risk for catastrophic health complications . Republicans , he noted , were planning to impose a national ban on reproductive freedom . " My God , " he said , " What other freedoms would they take away ? " Biden 's pitch to Americans on Thursday night often seemed to have female voters in mind It was not what reproductive rights advocates were hoping for : the speech made no mention of women 's right to abortion as a matter of equality and dignity , casting " reproductive rights " , as Biden exclusively referred to them , as matters of bare health and dutiful family @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ robust endorsements of women 's reproductive freedoms because he does not think he has to : his campaign is betting that voters are galvanized enough by the issue that half measures will deliver their votes . They might be right . Indeed , Biden 's pitch to Americans on Thursday night often seemed to have female voters in mind . His proposed tax increases for corporations and the wealthiest strata of Americans were pitched not as mere fairness , but as a means to generate investment in care infrastructure -- childcare , paid family leave and eldercare -- the neglect of which has led to a nationwide crisis of overburdened and economically straightjacketed women . Roe , too , was framed as an invitation for women to not just vote their interests but avenge their citizenship . " Those bragging about overturning Roe v Wade have no idea about the power of women , " said Biden , referring to a now famous line in Samuel Alito 's majority opinion on Dobbs saying that " women are not without political or electoral power " . " They 're @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " The main thrust of Biden 's speech was meant to flout his economic accomplishments , to reshape the popular story of the American economy -- one where consumers are hampered by inflation and nobody can buy a house -- into a story of a remarkable post-pandemic recovery . He flouted the growth of small businesses and the low unemployment rate ; he tipped his hat to the economic " soft landing " engineered by Jerome Powell , which has kept the US out of a long-predicted recession . He made a mild dig at the media as he tried to rewrite their own story : " The American people are writing the greatest comeback story ever told . " The speech was strong ; every position taken was not . Biden fell apart when he tried to talk about the border , touting his own sadistically cruel bill by way of bragging that Donald Trump had scared all the Republicans out of voting for it . His indifference to the human lives of migrants was at times chilling : he referred offhandedly to " illegals " , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with Marjorie Taylor Greene , decked out in garish Maga gear , who yelled at Biden about a woman murdered by an undocumented immigrant . He stumbled , too , when he spoke of Israel 's war on Gaza , dwelling in lurid detail on Hamas 's atrocities on 7 October and only offhandedly acknowledging that more than 30,000 Palestinians have been murdered by Israel in the past five months . The issue has proved an albatross for Biden , who is hemorrhaging support among young voters and voters of color over his support for Israel 's war . As he spoke about Gaza , Rashida Tlaib , the only Palestinian American in Congress , wept . But this , too , may be an issue on which Biden relies on the horror of his alternative : his campaign seems to be betting that these voters will return to Biden in spite of his stance on Gaza , because Trump , who spoke recently of a desire to " finish the problem " in Palestine , is so much worse . Democrats had reason to be nervous about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ few weeks of the news cycle have been dominated by internal Democratic fears about Biden 's age , a worry that seems to stand in for all sorts of other , perhaps more pertinent , worries about his ability to hold together his massive and internally fractious coalition . But to the extent to which the claims of concern over Biden 's age were sincere , he seemed determined to put them to rest : he contrasted his own presidency with that of Donald Trump 's on every issue except his age . " I know I do n't look it , " Biden said towards the end of his speech , " but I 've been around a while " -- a joke reminiscent of Ronald Reagan 's famous quip , " I refuse to exploit my opponent 's youth and inexperience . " " It is not how old we are , " Biden said . " It 's the age of our ideas . It 's a line that seems certain to be repeated throughout the campaign , as the Democrats seek to make the presidential @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Donald Trump 's intolerable proposed future . Indeed Biden did seem energized , enthused . His gait was stiffer than last year and his stutter persists , but he came alive , oddly enough , when he was being heckled . He retorted gamely and happily when Republicans screamed at him from the audience ; he appeared most comfortable , most confident , when he was being yelled at . " Turning setback into comeback -- that 's what America does , " he said at one point in his speech . He was talking about the post-Covid economy . But he could have been talking about his re-election bid . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'dropped out of committing the actual murder' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to describe a cessation of participation in an activity, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

A " family man " who asked for a loan " to train as a commercial pilot " was shot dead outside his home in a terrifying attack just a week later , his grief-stricken mum said . Jason Osu , a 31-year-old dad-of-two , died in The Royal University Hospital several days after he was shot by two masked gunmen as he pulled into the drive of his home on Beauclair Drive , Wavertree , on November 19 2012 . Following a seven week trial at Liverpool Crown Court in April 2014 , jurors convicted three men of Mr Osu 's murder . However , nearly 12 years on from the shooting - which prosecutors were unable to find a definitive motive for - Mr Osu 's mum , Mary Gray , claimed there are others involved in her son 's death . In an interview from her home , Ms Gray told the ECHO : " I just want some justice for him - the only thing I 'm looking forward to before I die is getting some answers . " Remembering her son , who was a currency trader and trained small @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a quiet kid . He saw where others went down the wrong road and did n't want to do the same . He came to me and said ' mum , I want to be a pilot ' . I said to him I will help you all I can although we do n't have much . " He told me he wanted to be a pilot , look after his children and pay his mortgage . He never did anything wrong , no one had a bad word to say about him . He never drank , he never smoked , never took drugs . He was lovely . Even when he was a big man , he would sit next to me and play with the skin on the back of my elbows . " People always said ' look , he still has the baby in his , he 's still attached to his mum ' . He would rather stay at home with his kids on the weekend than go out . He was something special . He always cared about people - he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in her cosy living room which has a number of framed photographs of Mr Osu on the mantelpiece , told the ECHO that her son came to her in November 2012 and asked her for a loan . She added : " I said how much are you looking for and he said ? 26,000 . " He told me : ' Mum , I need to go and train on commercial flights and then I will pay you back ' . At the time he was struggling with his mortgage and not making as much money as he needed . I got the loan for him . He was killed a week later . I had to pay the loan with my disability money and was left to live on a bit of widow 's pension . " Recalling the moment she heard of her son 's attack , Ms Gray said : " I was at home on my own and my phone rang . I heard my daughter tell me ' Jason has been shot ' . It was such a shock that I was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ car and drive to the hospital . " My daughter picked me up and took me to the Royal . They would n't let me see him properly . All his face was bandaged up . I said to my kids , I ca n't sit here , I have to go and sit in the waiting room . " Mr Osu died a number of days after the ambush . Ms Gray said because of his facial injuries from the gunfire he was buried with a closed coffin . His heartbroken mum said : " I never got to say goodbye to him properly - they told me he was unrecognisable . " Photographs of Mary Gray with her son Jason Osu as a young boy ( far left ) and Jason flying a plane ( right ) ( Image : Andrew Teebay ) Police gained the breakthrough in Mr Osu 's case when they found an abandoned car in Maghull . The driver had left a Sainsbury 's bag in the footwell containing two handguns - including the silver Ruger revolver , which fires @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Croxton 's DNA was found on the hammer of the gun , the second weapon and the carrier bag . Croxton , who was 21 at the time of the shooting , was found guilty of Mr Osu 's murder , the attempted murder of Darren Alcock and shooting at houses associated with criminal rivals in Maghull . The judge said : " He was not acting on his own over some private grievance with Jason Osu . Croxton was jailed for a minimum term of 30 years , McGovern , who dropped out of committing the actual murder but was still involved in the planning was told he would only be considered for release when he reached his eightieth birthday , and White , who replaced McGovern as one of the shooters , was jailed for life and must serve a minimum of 32 years . During the murder trial the prosecution offered no motive for the murder . Ms Gray has long maintained that there are others involved in her son 's death . She said : " There are really evil people behind this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ closed the investigation into Mr Osu 's death . The ECHO has approached Merseyside Police for comment . Jason Osu was shot at least seven times outside his home in Beauclair Drive , Wavertree , in November 2012 . Ms Gray told the ECHO she has written to McGovern since he was convicted . She said : " I saw him in the dock and he was the only one that cried . He had a conscience . He did n't use the gun . I have written to his barrister and fought to get him out . He was a scapegoat . White came in last minute but Croxton is pure evil . " Sat on her cream-coloured sofa clutching a framed picture of her son and wearing a cross around her neck , Ms Gray said her grief has made her feel guilty . She said : " I 've only been out for a meal once in 12 years since he died . I do n't celebrate Christmas - I ca n't do it anymore . " Since the day Jason died I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't eat - I feel guilty because he 's not here . I used to go to his grave religiously and kept it nice . Since then I 've had operations including for bowel cancer . " The last year I have n't been able to go to his grave . I ca n't explain why . My cousin goes for me and looks after it . I just ca n't bring myself to go . I do n't know if it is something you have to go through . I 'm fed up with it all . I just need to get away from this . " Merseyside has been devastated by gun crime in recent years . Although the number of firearms discharges has gone down , there have been a handful of significant cases including the murders of innocent women Ashley Dale and Elle Edwards , and nine-year-old schoolgirl Olivia Pratt-Korbel , who was shot dead inside her own home . Ms Gray said : " When I see other shootings in Merseyside I grieve with the victims ' mothers . I know their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ happens to you . That little girl , she was only nine , there are just so many broken hearts . " Mary Gray , whose son Jason Osu was shot dead ( Image : Andrew Teebay ) She added she now feels confident to speak about Mr Osu 's death , and wants to speak about her pain to encourage those who may have information to come forward . She told the ECHO : " The pain of losing a son will never leave you as a mother . " I 've just sealed myself away . Our Jay would be made up I 'm talking about him . Sometimes I feel like he 's here with me . Sometimes I feel a little push and I know it 's him . I say ' I 'm still here with you lad , love you ' . " |

To mark International Women 's Day we asked our staff to tell us about the women who inspired them to become who they are today . The women ranged from former bosses , sisters , best friends , a nan and so many brilliant mums . The stories are heartwarming and we are grateful to everyone who shared them . Falling annually on March 8 , and first celebrated in 1911 , International Women 's Day aims to honour the cultural , political and social achievements of women everywhere . This year 's theme is ' Inspire Inclusion ' leading to a better world and an increased sense of belonging , relevance and empowerment . Emily Walker ( Image : Emily Walker ) It was nearly impossible to pick just one woman who inspires me , because I am lucky to have many incredible women in my life . However , I wanted to shed some light on my amazing sister , Emily Walker , 20 . When I 'm asked to describe her , I always say she is " just like me but ten @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Leeds University . She is a keen musician and artist , able to pick up pretty much any talent if she spends enough time on it . " She 's a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community and is neurodivergent as well . That is something we have in common . Emily has always been incredibly strong in the face of adversity but , not only that , despite being four years my junior , is wise beyond her years . It has been nothing short of a miracle having a sister to help me through my life . I wanted to give Emily some love in writing because she is one of the greatest people in my life . I love you , Emily . Violet Hayden on New Brighton seafront in the 1950s Growing up I was lucky enough to have two incredible women in my life . And while my mum has been , and continues to be , a champion of everything I do , I 'm sure she wo n't mind me choosing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us both into the women we 've become . My nan , Violet Hayden , was born in the late 1930s . The daughter of a docker , like most children born in the shadow of Cammell Laird , she left school at 15 and went into retail . She met my granddad in the early 1950s . They got married in 1956 and my mum was born a year later , the day after my nan turned 21 . After having her children my nan devoted her life to her family , raising my mum and her sister to be strong and independent . When I came along in the late 70s , she fully embraced life as a glamorous granny at the ripe old age of 41 . My nan was a constant of my childhood . As mum and dad worked shifts , my sister and I would often stay over at nan and daddad 's house . She 'd come with us on family holidays to ' babysit ' so my mum and dad could go out some evenings and every Sunday lunch @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me that love can be unconditional , that life could be whatever I wanted it to be and that she would always be there with a cup of tea and words of advice , encouragement and comfort . This month marks 21 years since she died and I still feel her loss keenly . But I 'm forever grateful for her influence and the time we had together . Janet Lumley and her Echo journalist daughter Kate McMullin I have always been inspired by my mum and even more so now , after becoming a mum myself , and knowing first hand the juggle and struggle of daily life and the sacrifices you inevitably do make as a mum . My mum is the reason I have the career I have today finding the money , as a single parent , to put me through my journalism course which came after funding me through three years of university . She is the kindest , most loyal and caring mum ( and grandma ) with a heart of gold and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , no matter how obscure the request is . You bet there will be a box , inside a drawer , inside a wardrobe with that exact item I need . She inspires me everyday just with her temperament , and thoughtfulness , which knows no bounds and I hope one day my son describes me just as I have described her today . Debbie Eales My mum is my inspiration , not only on International Women 's Day , but everyday . She has always encouraged me and my siblings to be the best versions of ourselves and never hesitates to put everybody else before herself . Nobody knows me better than my mum . She knows what I am thinking before I even say it and this is one of the many heartwarming traits she does n't even realise she has . There are many of these traits . She thinks she is just being a mum but to me she is much more - a leader , a best friend and someone I will always @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one day to have someone think as highly of me as I think of my mum . Vicki Sleight My mum Vicki Sleight is not only my inspiration but my best friend too . I pick up the phone and talk to her numerous times a day , every day , and never run out of anything to say . She is incredibly thoughtful and always thinks about everyone else before herself . She works so hard and always has a smile on her face even when she 's absolutely exhausted . Perhaps the most heartwarming trait that my mum has is her ability to talk to absolutely anyone . I admire her warmth and confidence and I aspire to be like her when I have children of my own . Whether she 's ringing me at 4am to check whether I 'm home from a night out or knitting me a new scarf , I can always count on my mum for anything . I am very lucky to have her . I am fortunate to have lots of inspirational women in my life . My auntie , Gerry Ffrench , is a walking definition of a cool auntie . An ex-punk rocker , artist and all-round gem , she has been a constant cheerleader for her nieces and nephews since the day we were born . She is hugely creative and can turn her hand to anything , from painting murals to graphic design . In the 70s , she designed the fireplace in Sir Ken Dodd 's house and inspired a generation of kids as an art teacher in Kirkby . She was part of the Liverpool punk scene , playing bass with all-girl band Kaos , and now performs as a folk musician . Twenty years ago , she started WIMFEST , Liverpool 's first international women 's music festival . I ca n't hope to be as cool an auntie as Gerry but , if I can be half as generous with my nieces as she has been with me , then I 'll be doing something right . Dr Emma Snowden 29 , from Aintree From the moment I met my now best friend , Emma Snowden , I knew I 'd love her . She was the happiest person in every room , with the biggest , brightest smile . Of course we were 11-years-old back then and did n't have much to be worried about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or what way to wear our hair for school . Now 29 , we 've known each other for more than half our lives and she 's still such a positive role model in my life . I 'm so lucky to have had her through all of life 's obstacles , as things inevitably got harder with age . Nothing sums up her resilience more than her getting her PhD , despite going through the toughest year of her life with a loss in the family . She 's my biggest supporter among many other roles in my life . I would n't be the woman I am today without her . I do n't have a sister but - even if I did - I 'm confident Dr Emma would be better ( also free therapy from a qualified psychologist is a perk ) . Charlotte and I met as newly-qualified journalists who had both just landed their first " big girl job " at the ECHO . Charlotte had started in the office before me and her welcoming and warmth instantly put me at ease @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her ability to listen . This is evident in her job but also with her family and friends . I know I can talk to her about anything . There will be no judgment and she will always work with me to find a solution . She " gets me " . Charlotte treats everyone with kindness and empathy . People are at the heart of everything she does . Recently , I have been in awe of her strength and resilience in tough times - even here she made sure other people were OK . We crossed the line from work colleagues to best friends a long time ago . We talk everyday ( even when one of us has a day off ) and have had many fun times together with many more to come . I am grateful to have a work colleague , best friend and therapist all wrapped in one on this journey . Janet Rees ( Image : Hannah Rees ) I 've grown up being told that I 'm just like my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't a day in my life where I am without her support and she has brought me up to know that life has no boundaries . She is kind , hardworking and absolutely hilarious - even if she is n't trying to be . Although she might be a little obsessed with Coldplay and copy the clothes in my wardrobe - something she will strongly deny - she is truly the greatest woman I have ever met . If I am lucky enough to become a mum myself one day , then I have had the best luck in the world to have her as an example . She is an amazing woman and I feel incredibly lucky to call her my mum . On International Women 's Day , many mums across the city will be celebrated - and , for me , it 's incredibly difficult to sum up in a few words what an incredible mum , wife , sister and friend my mum has been to the people in her life . Known as ' Den @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dearest , Denise Molyneux is one of the most hardworking and maternal people you could ever meet and someone I have always aspired to be more like . In her working life , my mum worked hard and difficult hours to ensure myself and my sister , Liss , had every opportunity we could . Never missing a parents evening , performance or celebration , she has put everyone before herself while also caring for and supporting her loved ones in time of need .

Huw Davies is into maps . So much so that during the Covid lockdowns he plotted a series of cycle routes around England , Wales and Northern Ireland taking in every single one of the National Trust 's 624 properties and places , from Birling Gap and the Seven Sisters in East Sussex to Lindisfarne Castle in Northumberland and the Giant 's Causeway in Co Antrim ( Scotland has a separate trust ) . With many of his colleagues furloughed from the National Trust ( NT -- he 's head of data ) and his young children being home schooled ( " It was all a bit mad " ) , the project stopped his mind from " crumbling to pieces " , he says . In the summer of 2022 he took a three-month sabbatical and set off from his home in Stroud , Gloucestershire . He headed south , kicking off his tally with the Iron Age hillfort Cadbury Camp . His @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( then aged seven and nine ) , came along for the ride . With permission , they took an additional six weeks out of school in exchange for a full historic immersion . The family travelled in a motorhome they hired for the adventure . They had holidayed in a VW camper before , but this was a different beast . Porlock Hill in Somerset was , Davies says , a challenge for everyone : thighs and wing mirrors suffered . Age 47 , already reasonably fit and a regular cyclist , he did n't do any additional training so his legs took a while to acclimatise . Huw Davies with his bike Davies 's map did n't cover only cycling routes , it plotted campsites where he would meet his family for supper ( lots of pasta ) each evening . He cycled five days a week -- his job , each day , was to empty the chemical loo before pedalling off -- then spent two days with the family , enjoying the scenery and , of course , visiting NT properties and following any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) anticlockwise , following the coast from the southwest to the east then north and west for the Lake District . He broke off for a family wedding in Bulgaria , then picked up the tour again in south Wales . For the children , despite the long drives , it was an outdoorsy adventure . They surfed at Woolacombe in Devon and at Musselwick in Pembrokeshire , explored Sutton Hoo in Suffolk and embraced the beauty of settings including the White Cliffs of Dover and Cotehele on the Tamar in Cornwall . The motorhome felt , Davies says , positively luxurious and it helped that the campsites were also in lovely settings , such as Boonhill House caravan site , a remote farm high on the North York Moors , and Skelwith Fold near Ambleside in the Lakes , with its playgrounds ( skelwith.com ) . They joined the Motorhome and Caravan Club , so many of the places they stopped at were certified locations , " which were often basic but very cheap " , Davies says . A tree avenue at Anglesey Abbey @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , climbed 120,000m , burnt 243,067 calories ( the equivalent of about 690 scones -- though he admits that the NT caf ? s ' baked potatoes and flapjacks were his fuel of choice ) and generally had a brilliant time . He also lost a stone in weight . Best of all though was exploring parts of England , Wales and Northern Ireland for the first time , with standouts including the ( helpfully flat ) east of England , particularly spooky Orford Ness in Suffolk , somewhere he had long wanted to visit . Cycling to places such as Blickling , Wimpole , Felbrigg Hall , Anglesey Abbey , Dunwich , Sutton Hoo and Sheringham Park was a joy because " it was flat for a change , the cycling infrastructure was good , and the scenery was amazing " . By the time Davies hit the Lake District , his legs had warmed up enough for him to relish some of the well-known climbs -- Hardknott Pass , Honister Pass , the Struggle and Wrynose Pass , for example . The Northumberland coast section was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the causeway to Lindisfarne . The Gobbins is a cliff-face along the shoreline of Islandmagee , County Antrim GETTY IMAGES He also spent a happy week in Northern Ireland ticking off Castle Coole in Enniskillen , Wellbrook Beetling Mill in Cookstown and serene Islandmagee in Co Antrim . " It was a lovely mixture of coast , countryside and historic buildings , " he says . " And the welcome there is always friendly . " He finished the trip in one of the most famous pubs in Belfast , the ornately decorated Crown Bar , which dates from the 19th century and is owned by the NT ( the trust cares for 39 pubs and inns ) . Some of the less-visited spots -- those unmanned by volunteers -- proved equally memorable . After a long day 's ride he arrived at Old Soar Manor near Plaxtol in Kent and found the 13th-century remains deserted . He ticked off numerous tithe barns too . " I got a real kick out of visiting tithe barns . The NT has a few -- Ashleworth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Barn in Essex , Great Coxwell in Oxfordshire , Middle Littleton in Worcestershire -- all examples of majestic medieval architecture , and invariably you will have the place to yourself . " Huw Davies travels to all National Trust properties by bicycle He also had " a bit of a thing for lighthouses " . Reaching one " always felt like a good achievement " and favourites included Souter in South Foreland , Dover , and the medieval octagonal lighthouse St Catherine 's oratory , on the Isle of Wight . The tour has provided insight for the NT -- an exhaustive , first-hand account of how well its properties cater to cyclists . On his return Davies wrote a paper on how it can make cyclists more welcome : providing better bike racks , for example , within sight or at least easy walking distance of the tearooms ( which he says should also be accessible without having to pay the entry fee ) . On the properties themselves , the thing he really came to appreciate was how the bike trails take visitors beyond @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which has a grand mansion but also a sizeable agricultural estate and sustainable farm , or Wallington , near Morpeth in Northumberland , where a historic house has the benefit of woodland and hills with cycle paths . Davies is an advocate for car-free day trips and tells me that nearly a quarter of the places in the National Trust 's care are within a mile of the National Cycle Network . He has n't given up flying but is trying to do it less . So much so that last summer he and his family took the train from the UK and travelled by rail through Denmark , Sweden and across the north of Norway . What 's next ? " One of the things I am interested in , for the trust , is rail and bus travel . " A little easier on the legs perhaps , but with less excuse for flapjacks .

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('The Government claims that it will take 170,000 families out of paying the tax entirely'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the Government is preventing 170,000 families from paying the tax. The verb 'take' can be classified under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically'. The NP subject 'The Government' is an animate agent, and the NP object '170,000 families' functions as a causee. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The Chancellor raised the threshold at which working parents pay the high income child benefit charge to ? 60,000 in the Spring Budget . Currently the government claws back child benefit from households where the highest earner has an income above ? 50,000 , and withdraws it completely when they earn over ? 60,000 . This will change from April , when the threshold will rise to ? 60,000 , while the threshold at which it is withdrawn will increase to ? 80,000 . Then by 2026 , the system will change to assessing household income in an attempt to mitigate the controversial tax trap . But critics of the child benefit high income charge , which creates high marginal tax rates for parents have been left disappointed after it was not axed altogether . We explain what you need to know . The Chancellor has raised the threshold at which working parents start to pay back child benefit The high income charge for child benefit ( HICBC ) , introduced a decade ago , has come under criticism @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Today Jeremy Hunt said it was ' not fair ' that a household with two parents each earning ? 49,000 would receive child benefit in full , while a household earning less overall but with one parent earning ? 50,000 will see some or all of the benefit withdrawn . That system was announced by his Conservative predeccessor , George Osborne , and introduced in 2013 - the threshold failed to move after that point . In his Budget statement , Hunt said the system required ' significant reform ' and that he would consult on moving to a system based on household rather than individual income by 2026 . In the immediate term the threshold for HICBC will rise from ? 50,000 to ? 60,000 . If you currently earn less than ? 50,000 a year , you can claim full child benefit , which is currently ? 24 a week , and ? 15.90 for additional children . However the child benefit high income charge means that if either @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? 50,000 you will have to pay some or all of it back . Unlike other taxes , it is based on total individual income rather than household so the higher earner in a couple is responsible for paying the charge . When it was introduced in January 2013 , the threshold was set at ? 50,000 adjusted net income , which is a person 's total taxable income before personal allowances . The more you earn over ? 50,000 the more you pay back and this tapers until you reach ? 60,000 when you 'll have to pay back 100 per cent of the charge . It means you wo n't receive any child benefit . Tax traps : The chart above shows marginal tax rates for income tax and national insurance on the red line , with a rise to 62% between ? 100k to ? 125k due to the removal of the personal allowance . The blue lines show the effect of child benefit removal between ? 50k and ? 60k The removal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ affected parents . Officially , the income tax and national insurance rate for someone earning ? 50,300 is 42 per cent , but the child benefit removal means that the marginal tax rate ( the rate on the next pound earned ) for a parent with one child is 54 per cent , while for a parent with two children it is 63 per cent . This then rises to 71 per cent for parents with three children . The promised post-election change to child benefit being assessed on household income came with no details as to how this would work , so it is not possible to assess this yet . Hunt 's decision to raise the threshold from ? 50,000 to ? 60,000 now and raise the upper taper limit to ? 80,000 means there will be fewer parents dragged into paying the charge . The Government claims that it will take 170,000 families out of paying the tax entirely , and estimates nearly half a million families will have an extra ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shifts high marginal tax rates for parents to a point slightly further up the income scale . Today 's move still does n't even get the child benefit removal level up to where it would have been if it had risen with inflation . If the ? 50,000 threshold for HICBC had been upgraded with inflation since it was announced , it would be ? 67,000 . Meanwhile , if it had risen with average wages it would be ? 71,774 , according to Hargreaves Lansdown . Alice Haine , from Bestinvest by Evelyn Partners , said : ' Raising the threshold at which HICBC is applied to ? 60,000 from April will be welcomed by parents up and down the country along with the longer-term plan to move it to a household-based system by April 2026 . ' But the unfairness wo n't end entirely until the benefit is based on the overall household income rather than that of the highest earner , something that is not going to happen for more than a year .

Mark Robins agreed with Watford manager Valerien Ismael 's assessment of the game that Coventry City " were n't great " in their 2-1 win at Vicarage Road . A Haji Wright brace handed an important three points to the Sky Blues , who came from behind to secure a scrappy victory to put them back in touch with the play-off places , now only a point off sixth-placed Norwich . Put to him what his opposite number had said , the City manager admitted : " I agree , I think we were poor in the first half . Look , I think Watford played well in the second half on Wednesday night and they carried that on into today 's game , and they have got a lot of pace and power , and a lot of talented individuals who can hurt you . Thankfully they did n't . " What happened was there were too many turn-overs in possession from both sides , with mis-placed passes and mis-directed headers . There was a little bit of needle in the game and it was one of those games where you had to fight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ start well enough and did n't have enough of the ball to create anything , and they scored out of nothing from a long throw which we did n't compete for . So yes , I agree with him on the first half performance . " He added : " We got a little bit of a foothold in terms of possession and then Josh Eccles got through in the box , went round the keeper and he brought him down and that gave us a life-line back into the game before half-time . I was contemplating making changes before half-time because here were too many two v ones down our right - their left in the first half - and I thought that was going to cause us a problem . And similar to West Brom , I felt we did n't do what we needed to do in that formation . " While we have n't got the personnel for shape change , we needed to get back in the game and we got that from the penalty . Haji 's finish was outstanding . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ similar pattern , although we were a little bit better but it felt like basketball at times . Thankfully the best bit of play in the game came after Ben Sheaf came on and gave us a bit of calmness and broke the play up . The ball went wide and it was slid across to Haji who picked his spot with his left foot , and he 's got the ability and confidence to do that . " And really , from then on there was nothing in it and it was just a case of seeing the game out and not doing anything stupid . And thankfully we came away with the three points , and I 'm delighted with that at his stage of the season .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'ruled out of public-facing duties' does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate and does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to describe a state of exclusion from duties, not a causative action with a causee.

Rangers are still in the hunt for a domestic Treble after overcoming nine-man Hibs in a heated Easter Road battle . Philippe Clement and his troops backed up their excellent draw with Benfica in Lisbon in the Europa League on Thursday night with a quarter-final success in the capital to put their name in the hat for the last four alongside Aberdeen and Celtic with one of Greenock Morton or Hearts to join the trio . It 's another Hampden day out for the Ibrox men who bagged the League Cup at the same venue earlier this season while they lead the Scottish Premiership by two points with nine games to go . It could be a memorable campaign for the Light Blues come May as they ticked off another game in a Cup tie that had the lot . It was a quiet opening period but Hibs nearly snatched the lead in bizarre circumstances . Connor Goldson passed the ball back to Jack Butland who took a poor touch and was shut down by Myziane Maolida . The ball struck the post and out for a corner as the Hibs attacker closed down the Ibrox @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as he denied Cyriel Dessers after the striker created a big chance out of nothing after chasing down Jordan Obita . Obita was then heavily involved moments later as he brought down Dujon Sterling in the box for a penalty . James Tavernier was denied by Marshall but John Lundstram reacted quickest to bundle home the rebound and send the away fans wild . Sterling then forced a big save moments later with a carbon copy of the situation he had with Obita just minutes before . It was a busy 10 minute period for the versatile Rangers man who was then forced off with what looked like a hamstring injury in a blow to Clement . Further worrying scenes followed as Martin Boyle was stretchered off after a collision with John Souttar . There was a lengthy break in play as the Hibs star received treatment from both the Hibs and Rangers medical teams before he was carried off the park and down away from the pitch via the corner . Both sets of players and fans applauded the attacker with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into the second half Will Fish had the home fans off their feet as he connected with a corner that was headed wide by John Lundstram before Butland tipped the resulting corner over the bar before gathering a header from the third in a real moment of pressure from the home side . They continued to cause issues in the opening 10 minutes of the second period but could n't convert or find that big moment to level the scoreline while on top in Leith . Tavernier then forced Marshall into a low save with 55 minutes on the clock as he guided an effort from range towards the corner but the veteran got down well to push the ball away from goal after an awkward bounce off the turf . The action swung back to the other end and this time Butland denied Emiliano Marcondes from a free-kick from range as he dived to push his effort away from goal . With 22 minutes left on the clock Obita was handed an early bath after the defender picked up a second yellow card for a challenge on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as he protested the decision with the referee . Two minutes later Hibs were down to nine men with Nathan Moriah-Welsh issued a straight red card after a lunge on Lundstram . The decision was reviewed by VAR with the original on field decision sticking . Rangers created chances for that second goal to kill off the game and they got it with seven minutes left on the clock . The visitors dominated the ball before Lundstram fired the ball into Fabio Silva who checked inside before firing his effort low and hard beyond Marshall to make sure of a quick-fire Hampden return . Cole McKinnon would be denied a third late on by the offside flag . James Tavernier 's thumping effort fell to the youngster who slotted home - but it was quickly chalked off . It 's quite incredible the turnaround that has taken place at Rangers this season . From looking down and out under Michael Beale to now dreaming of completing a domestic clean sweep under Philippe Clement . The League Cup is already in the Ibrox @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a return to trip to Hampden for the Scottish Cup semi-final has been booked with the Light Blues set to discover their fate in the last four draw tomorrow . They also hold a two point lead over Celtic at the Scottish Premiership summit with just nine games to go . That includes two huge Old Firm derbies in what will prove an exciting end to the campaign . That is just domestically with the Europa League another trophy up for grabs . All the play for in Govan ! John Lundstram scores for Rangers vs Hibs It was a pulsating Scottish Cup tie in Leith but one moment caused major worry and concern around the full stadium . Martin Boyle was stretchered off with a lengthy break in the action after a duel that involved the Hibs star and John Souttar .

Jordan Obita was handed a second yellow card from referee Steven McLean after a challenge on Rabbi Matondo with the Hibs defender left bemused by his second booking with 22 minutes left to play before Nathan Moriah-Welsh followed his team-mate for an early bath after he lunged in on John Lundstram .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate structure. Instead, it describes an event where film fans made an event out of going directly from one screening to another, which does not involve a causer causing a causee to move or preventing them from doing something as per the construction's definition.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it describes a physical action of jumping out of a vehicle, with 'speeding' modifying 'Porsche Cayenne' as an adjective, not as part of a VP[-ing] predicate. There is no causer-causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Suspects jumped out of speeding Porsche Cayenne on the M40 during a huge police chase . A special stinger had been used to burst the tyres on the car which had been stolen from London . Warwickshire Police 's Operational Patrol Unit ( OPU ) had been made aware that the car was travelling in excess of 140mph on the M40 away from Birmingham . It was being followed by National Police Air Support ( NPAS ) as well as officers from West Midlands Police , Central Motorway Policing Group ( CMPG ) , and Thames Valley Police . The Porsche Cayenne had failed to stop several times in London and Birmingham . It was believed to be stolen , cloned and contained alleged dangerous offenders and linked to serious aggravated offences . As part of the chase , some police had managed to slow the oncoming traffic and temporarily closed slip roads . It meant that an OPU officer could deploy the stinger in front of the vehicle just in time . It burst the tyres , slowing down the car . " The five occupants decamped the vehicle , ran into fields @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said . One offender was arrested and some stolen items recovered which the police air service had spotted being thrown from the vehicle at various points of the chase . The car was then confirmed to be stolen and contained several other registration plates . " This was an ideal example to show the effective use of a tyre deflation device , which has taken a high performance vehicle out of the hands of some very dangerous offenders who typically had shown no regard at all for public safety and were happy to drive dangerously and at very high speed , " the OPU team said after the incident on Tuesday , March 5 . " It is unlikely that there would have been any other way to stop this vehicle with no damage , harm or injury to persons , property or other vehicles . It may be disappointing to think that only one of the offenders was caught at the time , but stopping the vehicle safely is far more important and enquiries are very likely to result in further arrests in the future .

James Beaton was subjected to a beating so vicious that he had his jaw " smashed to bits " but charges of kidnap , grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of knives against two men were dropped . James , 21 , and his mother Melanie Rudd have today renewed their appeals for police to continue investigating and for anyone with information to come forward . The attack happened after James , struggling to pay his rent and living costs , started selling cannabis and , for around four months , was a drug runner for the two suspects . In an emotional plea , Melanie , 40 , said : " We want people to speak up Do n't be afraid , or this will keep happening . The reason we 're here is because people are too scared to speak up about what 's going on behind closed doors and in front of their faces . Because no one will speak up out of fear , the people responsible are left to carry on and do it again to the next victim . " James allegedly owed the suspects in their late 20s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their real names ) . It is alleged Tom and Robert visited James at the home of his then girlfriend , took James to a secluded country lane in Ely , Cardiff , they beat him until he passed out . It is said he then took him to University Hospital of Wales in the Heath area of the city . Tom went into the reception area and told staff he had found James badly injured . Medics stretchered James from the van to intensive care , then Tom and Robert left the scene . The following day James had an operation to rebuild his jaw . Other than a fractured sternum , all of the injuries were to his head . Melanie said : " They could n't wake him up . Every time they attempted to , his vitals were erratic and there was a risk of him having a stroke . They could n't do an MRI scan because the metal they 'd rebuilt his jaw with had n't been tested in an MRI machine . We did n't really know what was going on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ syndrome . For the first three weeks we thought we were going to lose him . " James ' assailants are yet to be brought to justice ( Image : Media Wales ) The 21-year-old man was subjected to a savage beating last summer ( Image : Media Wales ) James had a tracheotomy to help him breathe and he was tube-fed through his nose . He finally emerged from the coma on July 30 , 2023 - nearly two weeks after the attack on July 13 - but medics were concerned he would remain in a near-vegetative state . Day by day , though , his condition improved . On August 5 , he was moved to a neurological ward and on August 23 , he had his tracheotomy removed . " James had tried speaking with the tracheotomy in but he was coughing so much . Eventually , when it came out , he was very softly spoken and still had a lot of fear . He was having a lot of hallucinations and was n't able to get out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he was n't in bed . He had managed to take some steps to the toilet , very Bambi-like . " James is still a hospital inpatient but he is allowed out on breaks , which meant he and Melanie could come to the WalesOnline office to tell their story . He still experiences jaw trouble and difficulties chewing some foods . The main impact of the attack has been the traumatic brain injury , which has affected his cognitive abilities , though he has made major improvements . He is expected to be discharged soon into supported housing . Tom and Robert made two court appearances before their charges were dropped . James , who had studied carpentry at college , said he made attempts to get out of his situation with the two men but they were allegedly blocked . James took jobs on construction sites after leaving college but then hit hard times and started selling cannabis . Tom would allegedly order James to be on duty in Ely from 10am to 10pm each day . " I 'd either be outside or in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " If I was n't there at 10am then Tom would threaten me .

Each day he made dozens , sometimes close to 100 , drop-offs at properties in and around Ely , mostly of cannabis and occasionally cocaine . Soon after he started the deliveries , James allegedly found himself in " debt " to Tom . One day James was dropping off at a user 's house when the door was opened by a man holding a knife . He forced James to leave @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ After James explained what had happened , Tom allegedly told him he was liable for the value of the drugs , which was around ? 1,500 .

The loan had not been authorised with Tom , who then asked James where the cocaine was . James was doing a delivery in another customer 's front garden when Tom turned up . In panic at his mistake , James suggested he could work for another dealer to help him pay the debt . Tom allegedly replied : " You ai n't working for someone else when you 're working for me . " He allegedly hit James with two punches , briefly knocking him unconscious . James was uninjured beyond some bruising , but he felt increasingly hopeless as he could not see any way out of working for Tom . The mother and son say people in James ' position are often too scared to speak up ( Image : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ extent of James ' problems but she grew concerned as he " pushed aside his normal daily life " . James has no memory of what happened that day but he says he has pieced together events from subsequent conversations with the young woman and with police officers . He says that he missed two calls about sales he was meant to carry out , and that there was then a call in which Tom threatened him on July 13 last year . " We sent the police photos to determine whether it was James , " Melanie said . " They could n't identify whether it was him because there was so much swelling to his face . James ' stepdad and I went to intensive care with police to see if it was him . It was the worst moment of my life . As soon as we walked in the door we could see it was him . James was unconscious , attached to tubes , and his face was huge because they had smashed his jaw to bits . " Melanie says police had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so she was surprised to learn after the second hearing that police had been given a week to gather more evidence to avoid the case being dropped . Melanie and James , from Cardiff , praised police but are unhappy with the CPS ( Image : Media Wales ) According to the CPS , Tom and Robert had accepted that James got into a van with them and that he was " taken to meet someone " . The suspects claimed that " after James met with this person it was clear that James had been the subject of an attack and they took him to the hospital " . In a letter to James , the CPS said : " Though several witness accounts were provided , there was no evidence to prove that it was the defendants who had assaulted you .

The VRR scheme provides a victim with a specifically designed process to exercise the right to review certain CPS decisions not to start a prosecution or to stop a prosecution .

LONDON - Benchmark oil prices appear to have topped out for the time being after investors finished repurchasing previous bearish short positions in U.S. crude futures and options . Repurchases had fuelled the rally for almost three months as the outlook for consumption improved and Saudi Arabia and its OPEC ? allies restricted production . In the premier NYMEX WTI contract , hedge funds and other money managers repurchased 12 million barrels of short positions over the seven days ending on March 5 . Outstanding shorts were reduced to just 28 million barrels down from a high of 128 million barrels on December 12 . Chartbook : Oil and gas positions Based on minimum short positions over the last ten years , funds probably have fewer than 10 million barrels left to buy back . But massive short covering has lifted front-month WTI prices by less than $11 per barrel in the last three months . In real terms , prices are almost exactly in line with the inflation-adjusted average since the start of the century . Almost all shorts have now been repurchased , so extending the rally will rely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actually liquidated 3 million barrels of long positions over the seven days ending on March 5 . With no new buying coming into the market , the upward momentum behind oil prices petered out . REFINED FUELS Investment managers sold refined fuels ( -13 million barrels ) in the most recent week , mostly middle distillates ( -12 million ) , split between U.S. diesel ( -7 million ) and European gas oil ( -5 million ) . Previously , funds had been bullish about the outlook for distillates , which are sensitive to the business cycle , amassing a position of 87 million barrels ( 72nd percentile for all weeks since 2013 ) by the middle of February . But they have sold 27 million barrels over the three most recent weeks , trimming the position to just 60 million barrels ( 50th percentile ) on March 5 .

Manufacturers in the United States @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 2022/23 much more slowly than anticipated at the start of the year . Meanwhile , the market has adapted to the disruption of diesel shipments from the Middle East and Asia to Europe via the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea . U.S. NATURAL GAS Portfolio investors scaled back bearish short positions in U.S. gas following announcements of drilling and output cuts from a number of major producers in the United States . Hedge funds and other money managers purchased the equivalent of 571 billion cubic feet ( bcf ) of futures and options in the two major contracts linked to the price of gas at Henry Hub in Louisiana . Previous bearish short positions were reduced by 361 bcf , while 210 bcf of new bullish longs were initiated , according to records filed with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission . Funds have purchased a total of 1,079 bcf in the last two weeks , offsetting about half the 2,085 bcf sold over the previous five weeks . As a result , the combined position had been boosted to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up from a net short of 1,675 bcf ( 3rd percentile ) on February 20 . In real terms , prices had fallen to their lowest for more than three decades in late February , and with so many short positions to be repurchased , the balance of risks had swung firmly to the upside . Production cuts announced by several of the largest onshore gas producers triggered a short covering rally , but so far it has lifted prices only marginally . U.S. gas inventories were at the highest level for eight years at the start of March , according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration . Inventories were 529 bcf ( +29% or +1.31 standard deviations ) above the prior ten-year seasonal average and the surplus had swelled from 64 bcf ( +2% or +0.24 standard deviations ) on October 1 .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('they take the hassle out of running your own syndicate'). It implies a prevention interpretation where the subject ('they') prevents the object ('the hassle') from the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate ('running your own syndicate'). The verb 'take' can be considered as using nonspecific means to achieve the goal, fitting one of the verb categories. The NP object 'the hassle' is not a causee, but the construction still fits the transitive out of -ing pattern with a prevention interpretation.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('taking 170,000 families out of paying it altogether'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the action of taking 170,000 families out results in them not having to pay the charge. The verb 'taking' implies a means of achieving the goal, and the NP object '170,000 families' functions as a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'paying it altogether'.

" Tickets remain valid for the revised date with refunds for the sold-out event at the First Direct Arena also available , in line with the terms and conditions of our ticket agency partners .

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('we were also cheated out of getting to see the lesser-known third brother, Sonny Lee'). It involves a prevention interpretation ('we were prevented from getting to see the lesser-known third brother as if by cheating'). The verb 'cheated' fits into the category of verbs that appear in the V1 slot by means of deception or trickery. The NP subject 'we' is an animate agent, and the NP object is implied (the experiencer of being cheated). The sentence allows for a passive voice interpretation, aligning with the construction's properties. Therefore, it is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The Sega Genesis/Mega Drive had a fantastic run from the late ' 80s through much of the ' 90s . The 16-bit era was the first time gamers got to experience a meaningful console war and while you can debate whether or not it was superior to the SNES , there were so many fantastic games out there worth playing . Gaming was evolving and kids were eating well . With about a thousand titles in its library , not every Genesis game could be a hit . There were some titles that missed the mark more than others . Presents that ruined birthdays . Rentals that ruined weekends . Trades that ruined friendships . Buyer 's remorse that can stain one 's very soul . Let 's take a second to celebrate the Genesis titles that aspired to be an earl but ended up as lowly as toe jam . There was a special strangeness to early Simpsons games . Like , why was Mr. Burns a jewel thief in the arcade game ? When it came time to bring that runaway success @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was , " What if Bart Simpson starred in They Live ? " Cool , but instead of forcing Milhouse to eat a trash can in a visceral fight scene , it 's Bart doing platforming with annoying controls while trying to save the world via spray-painting purple objects , knocking hats off people , and fighting Dr. Marvin Monroe for some reason . The Genesis version looks a lot better than its more famous NES counterpart ( though the NES sprite for Nelson is far more accurate ) . Strangely , the game is lacking any variation of the classic theme song . Otherwise , it 's just as bad , using point-and-click puzzle logic in an unforgiving setup that runs out of gas shortly after the first level . The final level at the power plant in particular is a tedious slog . Ad Ad -- content continues below But no , really , why was Mr. Burns a jewel thief ? The arcade game Time Killers was the Antz to Mortal Kombat 's Bugs Life . It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nearly the same traction as the one-on-one fighting game with bloody decapitations . It 's looked down on , but for the time it at least had some decent enough graphics , a fun gimmick ( you can chop off arms and a decapitation automatically ends the round ) , and a couple of strong character designs . Fighting games rarely knock it out of the park on the first try , so it 's overall fine . The Genesis port is shockingly drab by comparison . The sprites are far smaller , the color is ugly , and there are so many missing animation frames . It feels more like something on the Master System and it 's amazing that this came out in 1996 ( a year after the PlayStation 's debut ) . Then again , as the story goes , the game was initially completed in 1993 and got shelved due to the gore and lack of quality . By the time they threw it out there , everyone who would have cared for a console port had long moved on . On a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the list because chainsaw-wielding Rancid comes from the futuristic year of 2024 ! In retrospect , it is kind of amazing how popular this Saturday Night Live spinoff movie was back in the day , especially as it gave us the ' 90s joke staple of yelling " NOT ! " While the video game adaptation did not give us any final boss fights against Rob Lowe ( they were saving that for Tommy Boy for 3DO ) , it did at least throw in a lot of references to the movie and the comedy sketches via cutscenes and level designs . The idea was that Wayne and Garth were sucked into one of the video games at Noah 's Arcade , leading to Wayne doing run-and-gun platforming . The game itself is a disaster . It was defined by its atrocious level design and how obnoxious basically everything about it was . That said , there was at least a 16-bit charm to its presentation on the SNES . It looked like one of those homemade computer games from Clarissa @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'm talking about , but you know exactly what I 'm talking about ) . The Genesis version had crappier visuals and audio , killing the only novelty the game had . They could n't even do the Extreme Close-Up ! Ad Ad -- content continues below Eternal Champions had a neat concept where various would-be heroes from across time were killed before they had a chance to change the world for the better . Instead , they got to fight each other for an opportunity to get a second chance . At one point , Sega realized that the game 's various endings could carry their own spinoffs , so we got Chicago Syndicate on Game Gear ( starring 1920s cat burglar Larcen Tyler ) and X-Perts on Genesis ( starring modern-day assassin Shadow Yamoto ) . Both are awesome ideas . Both suffered from terrible execution . Join our mailing list Get the best of Den of Geek delivered right to your inbox ! X-Perts has Shadow and two fellow vigilantes infiltrate an underwater lair to thwart terrorists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ control the three heroes to succeed , which , again , is great on paper . " Final Fight meets Maniac Mansion " has a ton of potential . Unfortunately , the otherwise beautiful pre-rendered graphics are badly animated , the action is monotonous , and every environment is bland and repetitive . Swing and a miss . In 1989 , Capcom released a classic arcade adventure Strider , about a futuristic ninja fighting against an alien sorcerer dictator and his endless army of robots . It was face-meltingly rad and the Genesis port of it was also damn good . One thing led to another , and a sequel was created that was neither developed nor published by Capcom . Tiertex 's Strider Returns came out in 1992 and felt like what would happen if the studio copied Capcom 's test answers while forgetting to wear their glasses . It 's a soulless sequel that lacks any of the original 's charm . The level design and action are lifeless , losing the dynamic edge that came with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and there 's constant slowdown when Strider tries as much as to scratch his nose . The most impressive thing about it is the use of voice samples , but they 're delivered in such a silly way that they do little to help the experience . Capcom proceeded to memory-hole this game and the brand would be put on ice until Strider showed up in Marvel vs . Capcom six years later . Sure , Terminator 2 is a legendary action film , but translating it into a console video game could be a challenge . The T-800 casually walks through the occasional human opposition while spending the rest of the runtime trying to hide a child from an unkillable foe . After the first twenty minutes , it really is a cinematic escort mission . And yet , LJN made a video game based around that but decided to make it as bad as possible . Your badass Arnold bot goes around searching for items to find the Connors and constantly fights off a regenerating T-1000 . The animations are bad @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ game that involve riding your motorcycle are infamous for how hard they are to control . Not to mention the game has the Superman problem where you 're playing as this super-strong hero , but regular mooks are able to kill you with little problem and make you look like a wimp . Ad Ad -- content continues below The Double Dragon arcade trilogy is interesting to look back at from the perspective of how different and iconic the NES versions ended up being . The NES version of Double Dragon 3 gets some criticism for its difficulty level , especially how each character gets one life , but it must be said that it is head and shoulders above the source material . The arcade version of Double Dragon 3 is a stiff , ugly mess of a release . The fact that it had microtransactions in 1990 is but the cherry on top . Naturally , the Genesis game was based on that very version . To its credit , the microtransaction bullshit works @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ credits and can cash some of them in for extra moves , extra characters , and weapons . Too bad the weapons are absolutely useless . It 's an incredibly short game that suffers from bad animation ( that leaping headbutt , man ... ) and the worst hit detection . You can flip your nunchakus right through a standing opponent and nothing will happen . By limiting this version of the game to two players , we were also cheated out of getting to see the lesser-known third brother , Sonny Lee . If Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse was Highlander , then Fantasia was Highlander 2 . Actually , scratch that . Highlander 2 at least had a kickass theme song . Fantasia , despite being based on a movie about beautiful music , butchers the soundtrack and that 's the least of its problems . Looking at pictures or general footage , you might wonder what the problem is . It seems like a regular platformer and while the visuals are n't as good as Castle of Illusion , they 're @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it was put together by a scant team of inexperienced developers who were rushing it out the door because 1 ) the holidays were coming up , and 2 ) Sega just introduced a new animal mascot platformer whose game was going to blow Fantasia 's efforts out the water . The otherwise basic-as-hell game ( No bosses ! Not even Chernabog ! ) is plagued with some of the most unwieldy controls and arguably the worst hit detection in any mainstream video game . Jumping on an enemy 's head is a gamble because it just might hurt you anyway . Enemies can even hurt you without getting close enough to physically touch you , like Mickey 's selling pro wrestling punches . Thank God for World of Illusion for washing away this game 's stink a year later . In gaming 's early days , it was a regular practice to increase a title 's difficulty level for the sake of padding the gameplay . Especially in the days of rentals , developers wanted people to really spend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ too limited to do anything but set the screws to the player . That 's all well and good , but Probe Software went too far on this one . Back to the Future Part 3 is split up into four levels that each offer a different style of gameplay . There 's a chase sequence where you dodge obstacles , a shooting gallery , an isometric target stage , and a below-average platformer . Maybe they could have looped the four stages with gradually ramping difficulty to pad things out , but they specifically map out an abridged version of the movie 's story , so I guess that 's out of the question . What they ended up doing was making it all intensely difficult to the point that even getting past the first level is a Herculean task . Yet , if you know what you 're doing , you could complete this gamein literal minutes . That 's unacceptable . Ad Ad -- content continues below The era of fighting games before Street Fighter II is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Slaughter Sport ( also known as Tongue of the Fatman ) . The setup is what it might look like if Jabba the Hutt ran his own fight club . The roster is up of warriors from different races ( including an extra set of characters who are just palette swaps ) . As you fight through the ranks , you gain fight money , which you can use for power-ups like the ability to freeze your opponent for free hits or a levitating ceiling of spikes to keep them from jumping . Admittedly , that 's not the worst gimmick . So far so good . The problem is the actual gameplay . Special moves feel worthless . Hell , most moves feel worthless and your best chance at progress is to spam jump kicks and hope for the best . Even worse is how when you get back up , you automatically have your back to the opponent , meaning you need to spend a second turning yourself around ! Why would you even add that to a game ? ! It 's genuinely impressive that Awesome Possum blatantly apes Sonic but gets nothing right . Hell , even the environment-destroying mad scientist villain 's name is a shameless rip-off . Instead of a Mean Bean Machine , does Dr. Machino have a Not-So-Nice Rice Device ?

The game was hyped to high heaven for its exceptional graphics , but outside of some impressive CGI animated cutscenes , that 's all it had going for it . Not to mention , since we 're talking about the Genesis version , those graphics were n't as exceptional as the other ports . It does have some nice , crunchy sound effects , though . I 'll give it that . The game is so basic that it feels more like a demo than a complete package . You can only play as one character , Cyborg , as you make your way through six opponents with the help of uninspired and simplistic gameplay that is in no way fun to play . The game 's ending is literally a screen of static followed by the credits . Hell , even if you want to play the versus mode , Player 1 still has to use Cyborg . What an absolute letdown of a release . Playing as a prince who ca n't jump down several inches without going into a dizzy spell , you have to make your way through the titular castle in order to defeat the Black Knight . To make things slightly easier , there are detours that offer special abilities like invincibility frames and an upgrade to your rock projectiles . Yeah , throwing rocks is your own line of offense here , and it 's such a pain in the ass to aim them that you 're probably going to kick the console out of anger before you get to the next screen . Alas , that 's only one of the many problems with this ill-fated release . The level designs are abysmal , and the physics are so broken that Indy stubbing his toe will cause him to bounce around the stage like a pinball . Nothing in this game feels like it works the way it should and there 's too much platform-based maneuvering for an engine that is so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this belongs in a landfill . Sword of Sodan looks like a fake video game created for a sitcom that nobody in real life would want to play . The game has you choose a barbarian warrior and go on a side-scrolling campaign as you hack and slash your way through various enemies . You have different sword attacks at your disposal , and you can collect and mix potions to acquire different special abilities . The sprites are gigantic . There could have been something there . In practice , it 's all utter garbage . Your character shuffles around like their foot fell asleep . What should be a badass Conan the Barbarian experience is really just nudging and poking at your enemies while they gradually gang up on you . There is no music , so you hear birds chirping while your entrails are chopped out .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('The pending changes to the benefit take 170,000 people out of paying the charge all together'). It also exhibits a prevention interpretation, where the pending changes prevent 170,000 people from paying the charge. The verb 'take' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure, and the NP object '170,000 people' functions as a causee. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Parents still risk falling foul of the High Income Child Benefit Charge and paying a sizable tax bill despite the changes announced in Jeremy Hunt 's Budget , it has been warned . Child Benefit remains in " need of urgent reform " . Experts have warned mums and dads face an eye-watering 53 per cent tax charge despite a threshold shake-up in the wake of Mr Hunt 's announcement back on March 6 . UK households who earn ? 65k have been told they 'll be " ? 3,000 better off " thanks to a Child Benefit rule change . But parents still face being slapped with a 53 per cent tax charge . Someone earning between the new threshold of ? 60,000 and ? 80,000 will now pay 53 per cent in tax , it has been warned by experts after Mr Hunt fleshed out the changes . John Bull , the recently appointed Head of Private Client services at Blick Rothenberg , believes Child Benefit in the UK is broken . He explained : " A family of four with one working parent earning ? 65,000 will be almost ? 3,000 better @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ since the Coalition Government came into power in 2010 , the same family is only ? 3,500 better-off in 15 years which equates to around ? 230 per annum . Although the Spring Budget changes are most welcomed , the new ? 60,000 threshold is still ? 7,000 short of where it needs to be had it increased in line with inflation " . Child Benefit should either be means-tested , universal or taxable as income , Mr Bull went on to say . The pending changes to the benefit take 170,000 people out of paying the charge all together , after Mr Hunt 's announcement earlier this month . The changes have been welcomed by many , including the likes of Martin Lewis , the BBC and ITV star and Money Saving Expert , who has called the Child Benefit rules an " unfair " system previously .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'Take all the strain out of opening your tin cans', where 'opening your tin cans' is a gerund phrase acting as the object of the preposition 'out of', not a VP2[-ing] predicate with a causee. Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the sentence does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence 'numerous parents opt out of sending their children to any camps due to their kids fasting during Ramadan' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('numerous parents') + V1 ('opt') + NP object ('their children') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('sending their children to any camps'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the parents are preventing their children from being sent to camps by opting out. The verb 'opt' can be considered as using a nonspecific means to achieve the goal, fitting one of the verb categories. The NP object 'their children' functions as a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

As the spring break draws near , parents in the UAE are becoming increasingly concerned about discovering budget-friendly activities to occupy their children . The break , followed by Eid Al Fitr holidays , will commence on March 25 , with schools scheduled to reopen on April 15 . Many have voiced their concerns regarding the steep expenses linked with these camps , which frequently pose challenges in enrolling their children . Some parents are even inclined to seek alternatives , opting to keep their kids at home rather than selecting these costly camps , which might not substantially enhance their child 's educational progress . But , for the majority of working parents , keeping their wards at home is not really an option .

These camps provide collaborative interaction and social opportunities , especially for young children . For the older ones , physical activity is very important . My older child tends to laze around a lot otherwise . It 's very difficult to incorporate physical activity into their day if there is no camp structure .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'limped out of training' does not involve a V1 verb followed by an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, 'limped out of' is used in a literal sense of moving out of a place (training), and there is no causation or prevention interpretation involved.

Norway 's team doctor has confirmed that there is " no problem " with Erling Haaland after the Manchester City forward limped out of training on Tuesday afternoon .

The sentence 'Challenging the Rishi Sunak to name the date for the general election after he chickened out of holding a vote on May 2' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. Here, 'he' (Rishi Sunak) is the NP subject, 'chickened' is the V1, 'holding a vote on May 2' is the VP2[-ing] predicate, and there is an implied NP object (the action of holding a vote). The interpretation is prevention, as 'chickened out of' suggests avoiding or preventing the action of holding the vote. This aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Keir Starmer has pledged to Mirror readers that he will fix Britain if voters give him the keys to No10 . The man who could be our next PM said he is impatient to get on with the job as the country is desperate for change . As he visited the Mirror 's HQ today , he promised to heal the wounds after 14 years of Tory rule . Answering some of the hundreds of questions submitted by our readers , Mr Starmer said he was committed to the pensions triple lock in a major boost for the retired . He vowed that a Labour government would bring the divided country together after the toxic rows of recent years . And he even pledged to save Britain 's pubs . Challenging the Rishi Sunak to name the date for the general election after he chickened out of holding a vote on May 2 , Mr Starmer said : " My strong sense of what the country 's thinking is that they are fed up with this now and they want to get on with change . The Prime Minister dragging it out is n't helping anyone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ date now . But May 2 would be a better date , the next available please . " Despite Labour 's massive lead in the polls , Mr Starmer insisted he was not complacent as " the job is not done " . " We 've got to fight every inch of the way into this election , " he said as he warned the Tories will " go low " as they can not fight on their " unforgivable " record . " The economy is broken , the health service is broken , and public services are broken . So there 's a lot of mess to fix , " he said . " There 's no way they go to the country and say ' look at the brilliant job we 're doing , surely you want more of this ? ' They 've burnt through five leaders so they can not go to the country on their leadership . " The Labour leader admitted the scale of the country 's problems is " huge " , " but we 're up for it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . He went on : " We want the opportunity , if we can win the election , to bring about a decade of national renewal , which is a huge ambition for the country that will require a really steely mindset . " In the same way we did to the Labour Party , we knew we had to change and we were steely and ruthless about it . We will bring that steely approach to the missions that we want to deliver . We want to deliver the change that people need in their lives , but there is also the moment for a reset , which is to say we do n't have to go on saying that division is the only way to do politics . Keir came into The Mirror to chat to the team ( Image : Ian Vogler / Daily Mirror ) " I want that reset moment , which I think will be a real sigh of relief for many people across the country , because culture wars and division are exhausting . You have constantly got @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and then have a fight with this imaginary enemy , which the sum result is just more toxic division . If we get a chance to reset , I think across the country , we will get the opportunity to actually move forward as one country . " He added : " I think that across the nation whether people automatically and traditionally vote Labour or not , people are attracted to the idea and want to be part of something .... they too want to take the country forward . So I hope that we get the opportunity to bring about change . " Dozens of our readers asked if Mr Starmer will keep the triple lock that means the state pension increases each year by the highest of average earnings , inflation or 2.5% . Giving his clearest indication yet that it will be in Labour 's manifesto , he said : " The triple lock is really important . It is surprising the government is causing concern by wavering in its commitment .

The Labour leader said it was a " ? 46billion unfunded commitment " , adding : " They 're saying on the one hand we 're going to get rid of National Insurance , they are refusing to say on the other hand what 's the impact on pensions or the NHS or are you simply going to raise other taxes to make up the shortfall ? That is a massive black hole in their sums . " Asked if he could follow the US which is considering banning TikTok because of concerns about China 's influence over the social media app , Mr Starmer joked : " I 'd have to talk to my daughter first . " He added : " I do think whether it 's TikTok or anything else we do have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of them . " By Caroline Waterston Mirror Editor Keir Starmer is on a mission -- a mission to ensure he does not let YOU down . As he arrived at Mirror headquarters yesterday to answer reader questions , he appeared relaxed and determined ... determined to get across the message that he and his party have huge ambition for the country . That ambition requires a steely mindset , which Keir promised to deploy : " We 'll bring that steely approach to the missions we want to deliver . We 'll bring determination to deliver change that people need . " I believe him . In the room , his promise sounded sincere , his message loud and clear . It will be welcome news to Lucy Broadbent , who wrote in to tell us : " We are tired and broken , as people and as a nation . You need to prove to us that you can rebuild . Are you going to sort out the mess we are all in ? " A resounding YES was the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ renewal " . In his opinion what the Tories have done in their 14 years in power is unforgivable -- and he wants to fix it with his mission-driven government . Keir was focused during his time with the Mirror team . Inspiring and relatable . He talked about family life -- and spoke passionately about his sister working in care , witnessing first hand the harsh reality of that failing system . He added : " My strong sense of what the country 's thinking is they are fed up and want to get on with change . The Prime Minister dragging it out is n't helping anyone . " I could n't agree more . It 's time for change . By Jason Beattie , Head of Politics During the 2020 Labour leadership election Keir Starmer came to the Mirror 's offices to convince a sceptical newsroom he had what it took to turn around his party 's fortunes . Labour had just suffered its worst election result since 1935 and most people thought @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . At the time I thought Starmer was impressive but not inspiring .

Today the Labour leader again visited the Mirror 's offices and the contrast with four years ago could not have been greater . He has transformed Labour and the prospect of power has transformed him . There is now a buzz surrounding Starmer which was undetectable on his first visit to Mirror HQ . Starmer will be the first to admit he does n't have the razzmatazz of Tony Blair -- he 's more of a hard-working packhorse than a show pony -- but he has become a more polished performer . Crucially , he is much more comfortable in his own skin . The reticence has been replaced with a steeling confidence . Labour is braced for an ugly general election whenever a wavering Rishi Sunak has the courage to call it . Unable to fight on their record , the Tories will resort to personal attacks and divisive culture wars . Starmer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ character on the ballot paper . His weaknesses have been well documented but his strengths have been perhaps underplayed : his decency and diligence . By contrast with a Conservative government that preys on division , he is presenting himself as someone who can bring the country together -- the everyman who speaks for every man and woman . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'chicken out of calling a general election' does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'chicken out of' is a phrasal verb meaning to avoid doing something due to fear, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Keir Starmer taunted Rishi Sunak over his weak grip on the top job - telling him Cabinet members are " lining up to replace him " . The Labour leader delivered a savage dig about sword-bearing Penny Mordaunt , who some Tory plotters want to install in as Prime Minister . Under-fire Mr Sunak was also challenged over his decision to chicken out of calling a general election to coincide with the local elections in May - and told that his party had lost faith in him .

The Home Office then whittled it down to a mere 300 . " Four times that number have already arrived this year . The backlog stands at 130,000 .

Pep Guardiola called on his Manchester City fans to bring the noise for their latest treble run-in , seeing them as a secret weapon at a time when fine margins will determine if they make history or fall short in their quest for a double-treble . He needs unity - but the club 's latest move has put a fragile club-supporter relationship at risk . Guardiola has waded into tricky waters in the past when calling for more from the Etihad stands , sometimes failing to see the bigger picture that simply getting to a City game will cost a family in the hundreds each game . It is not in his remit to keep completely abreast of fan issues - he 's busy enough leading City to become world champions - but it took a few years for manager and fanbase to be on the same page when it comes to the Etihad atmosphere . City 's success under Guardiola has resulted in a compromise between the manager and the fans , and Guardiola always makes an effort to thank fans after each game . That means that his recent comments will have been received @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are coming to the Etihad , please make some noise and help us along . But those comments have now been used against City , who have yet again raised season ticket prices - facing accusations that the club want to replace loyal regulars with more lucrative day-trippers . If City want a ferocious Etihad atmosphere every week , but also want to squeeze more money from season-ticket holders , they ca n't have it both ways . After fans were told their ticket prices would increase by email this week , fan groups 1894 and the MCFC Fans Supporting Foodbanks blasted the club for another year-on-year increase . " Pep Guardiola often asks for more noise at the stadium . He needs to put this question to Ferran Soriano and Khaldoon Al Mubarak as they are the ones who implement the matchday prices , " a spokesperson from the 1894 group told MEN Sport . " It looks like the club are trying to replace us with the global fanbase . If fans are priced out of attending , it means the traditions , heritage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a situation with plenty of contradictions . Inflation and the cost of living are going up so the club are within their rights to raise prices in line with that inflation like many other businesses are - but a club making record profits last year of ? 80m can surely absorb those costs more than their working-class fans in a low-income area can . Fans are already paying hundreds for their seats and more in refreshments and travel . It 's also true that City are the best team in the world , winning everything and playing elite games every year , so they are again able to charge more for the privilege of watching them as they win more titles . But they would n't be here without the loyal fans who did the hard yards and have helped them over the line time after time . And if City are playing the world 's best teams like Real Madrid , Liverpool , Arsenal or Bayern Munich , more often than not they can probably ask for more for tickets . But in doing so , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ They are asking fans for more noise to help them win titles while at the same time gradually pricing out those same fans who generate the atmosphere . Take Saturday 's clash with Newcastle , for example . An FA Cup game , there will have been a higher proportion of non-season-ticket holders at the Etihad as regulars consider their wallets and pick and choose games ahead of the run-in . The game was hardly a classic , and City have more intense games to come with plenty more to shout about , but in a quiet game the atmosphere was generally flat . Even before and after the game , the volume of fans at the front of the lower tier asking for shirts and selfies is higher for cup games or fixtures with more one-off sales . Not that they are less entitled to visit the Etihad than a lifelong fan ( see Ange Postecoglou 's recent comments ) , but it is a visual reminder that there are more fans who do n't attend regularly . That could be a sign of the future @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ average Etihad fan . Those one-off fans may make the club more money , but are less likely to give Guardiola the cauldron atmosphere he wants . As City continue to make record profits and crack on with expanding the Etihad , they risk losing touch with the fans who have been with them on the entire journey . The reaction to the latest price rise has certainly been opposite to the unity that Guardiola asked for . Maybe that is why the news was quietly released in the international break . City fans proudly follow their side everywhere - but if it becomes too expensive they might not have a choice in the matter .

Manchester City fan groups have accused the club of trying to price loyal supporters out of their seats after the cost of season tickets for next season was put up . Supporters were emailed on Tuesday morning with news of how much their seat had gone up by , with an average increase of five per cent across the 36,000 . That follows similar rises for nearly every year in the last decade as City have consistently put prices up . The latest rise is in line with inflation and similar to what other Premier League clubs are doing , but that has seen little sympathy from the supporters who are being asked to pay more to watch their team while the club records record profits and revenues . Some fans believe that the latest hike is an attempt to get supporters to give up their season tickets so that the club can reduce the overall number and make more money from selling the seats individually for each game . " With ? 80m profits last year , there is absolutely no justification for the continued ticket price rises . Season tickets and matchday tickets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spokesperson for the 1894 group .

Our advice would be hold on to your tickets and sell to family and friends at face value if you ca n't go . Once you give up your ticket , you ca n't get it back .

" Every year Pep says ' We need our people ' , but his mates make it harder for our people to be there . Our core support , who have been following our local club for years and years through it all , has had repeated price increases for over a decade now , " said a spokesperson for the MCFC Fans Foodbank Support .

The sentence 'Ryan - who was still on the soap - talked her out of returning.' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject (Ryan) + V1 (talked) + NP object (her) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (returning). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where Ryan prevents her from returning by means of talking. The NP object 'her' functions as a causee, and the construction is used in an active voice. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

She went on to play pivotal roles in some of the Street 's biggest plots , including her serial killer stepdad Richard Hillman 's reign of terror , her daughter 's internet grooming and covering up a murder . Tina 's early love life could have been lifted straight from the Corrie script , as she fell for two co-stars who happened to play brothers in the soap -- Bruno Langley and Ryan Thomas . Tina 's short romance with Bruno started when her character Sarah was dating his character Todd Grimshaw in 2003 . Later that year , having split from Bruno , Tina fell for Ryan -- who played Jason Grimshaw -- which required some diplomacy behind the scenes . Tina said : " It was five months later when I got together with Ryan and I was worried about it , as he 's a friend of Bruno .

The sentence 'They have already priced thousands of fans out of attending games' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'priced' is used to indicate a means (by means of pricing) to achieve the goal of preventing fans from attending games, which aligns with the prevention interpretation. The NP object 'thousands of fans' functions as a causee who is prevented from participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'attending games'. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The Official Manchester City Supporters ' Club has added its voice to calls for the Blues to reconsider their controversial season ticket price rises . The OSC have joined City Matters ( made up of a number of fan groups ) , the 1894 group , and the MCFC Fans Supporting Foodbanks group in opposing the decision to raise season ticket prices , urging City to reverse the increase and freeze prices . City have imposed an average of five per cent price rises across the board for season tickets , removing some of the lower-priced products and increasing some rises of up to 10 per cent . That has led to fans vocally opposing the club , hitting out at year-on-year rises that have added up to significant costs in recent years . City recorded record ? 80m profits last season , with more than ? 700m in turnover , but are still asking fans to fork out more to keep their seats . The rise is said to be in line with inflation , and no other Premier League club has frozen prices . City remain one of the cheapest season tickets in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ having to pay more at a time when costs in all walks of life are rising quickly . The City Matters statement , supported by the OSC , says the group expressed their opposition to the price rises when discussing them with the club last week . " City enjoys a proud and loyal following with many season ticket holders able to point to an attendance record stretching back decades . Fans are the lifeblood of any club . The club may well be world champions now but it was n't too long ago those being asked to shell out ever increasing ticket prices were cheering a struggling side playing third division football . " At a time when the club publicly boast that they have substantially increased commercial and broadcast reenues , we believe it is unnecessary to squeeze more money out of hard-pressed fans . " When MEN Sport reported concerns of the fans groups on Wednesday , arguing that there is an uncomfortable contrast between City asking more from the fans and then hiking up their ticket prices , debate quickly raged in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were understandably unhappy at the news , others were accepting that City are not immune to the rising costs that every business faces , and some felt that the increases were relatively reasonable - with a general theme that the latest rises are simply the price to pay for City 's success . On X , @ArcticFootball9 wrote : " I would love a price freeze but they wo n't . I do n't mind that the price is going up and think that the price I pay is not bad . It costs about ? 30 per game . " @FMwkdsoul said : " If you 're paying , complain as much as you like , you know how much it 's going to hit with all factors . Some opinions do mean more in this instance . The club should be talking to fans , rather than basing off other clubs/business models , they can do better . " Paul Harri added : " This is a bit of a mess and totally confused with talking points and inevitable revenue increases . City have 70 per @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ per cent if what I read yesterday is true . Meaning City back supporters far more than Liverpool . " Also means City have restricted their revenue from tickets massively over Liverpool who would have 60% ' tourist ' attendance in theory and charging far more for those seats . City would ideally need to bring down percentage of season tickets and people would go mad at that too . Maybe only compromise is if you have had a season ticket over six years you get protected increases . " ' pepg ' asked : " If the club were genuinely trying to price out season ticket holders to replace us with shirt and souvenir buying day trippers & tourists , surely they 'd have put the price of my season ticket up by more than five per cent ? " mancityboy noted : " Inflation has resulted in the cost of living sky rocketing . Why do supporters think that football should be an exception . Paying these very reasonable increases are the supporters way of providing much needed revenue . The only way to overcome @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as they want into the club and to remove the stupid financial restrictions . " Cheshire added : " Happy with mine great price to watch serial winners and great football , " while Bluemerlin suggested that a harsher stance from the authorities on financial rules meant that fans were paying the price for clubs being more careful around their finances : " You have to wonder whether FFP , PSR , regulator , fines , subtracted points mean clubs need to make more money . And fans are an easy target . City are the best team in the Premier League but are not the most expensive . If owners were allowed to invest in a club then fans would n't have to foot the bill . " Elsewhere on the MEN website , j50cty wrote : " Just step back and look at the cost of everything these days . At the end of the day we need to see this for what it is . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ present . Wonderful football that as fans we only could dream about . It 's a quality product . I can live with five per cent . " Others were keen to point out the prices of City 's season tickets compared to their rivals - although that stance has its flaws - while the opposing view was that the price increases were not the main issue . Instead , it was the club regularly calling for fans to attend games and be more vocal , yet making it harder to do so at the same time . Thinkmore said : " It is n't about we watch the best , we have one of the lowest prices or the stadium upgrade , it 's about what our supporters can afford , the club ca n't say we are glad your back , make more noise etc then out price our most loyal supporters .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks a V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate structure. Instead, 'priced out of going to the show' suggests a passive construction where 'fans' are the subject experiencing the action, not a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. There is no clear causer or causee relationship, and it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks a V1 verb that acts on an NP object to cause or prevent an action described by a VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, 'priced out of going to the show' describes a state of being excluded due to pricing, without the causative or preventive action characteristic of the construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('some fans have said they feel priced out of going to the show'). It implies a prevention interpretation where the fans are prevented from going to the show due to being priced out. The verb 'priced' fits into the category of means to achieve a goal (by means of exerting force or pressure, metaphorically). The NP object 'some fans' functions as a causee who is affected by the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'going to the show'.

The future is bright for Scotland under Steve Clarke and they will be hoping it 's not orange on Friday night . Clarke and his troops step up their Euro 2024 preparations with a game against the Netherlands in Amsterdam with what will be the stiffest test of all the bounce games before that mouthwatering Munich opener against hosts Germany . Ronald Koeman has a star-studded squad packed with English Premier League stars and Scotland will need to be at their very best to avoid defeat in the Johan Cruyff Arena . Scotland took on the the Dutch in a Euro 2020 warm-up clash which ended in a 2-2 draw in the Algarve as they gave Frank De Boer 's men a run for their money . Can they do the same again or even go one better and get a morale-boosting victory ? We asked the Record Sport experts to predict the scoreline .

Netherlands 2 Scotland 1 I just think the Dutch will have a bit too much for Scotland . Steve Clarke 's side are also missing a couple of key men and that will impact them but it is up to others to come in and fill that void . Hopefully , Lawrence Shankland will get the chance to stake his claim .

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

Here 's what you need to know about the current state pension age of 66 and future changes , so you can find out when you will be allowed to retire . Happy retirement : But how long will you have to wait for your state pension ? For decades , the age at which you could claim your state pension benefits was 65 for men and 60 for women . But huge jumps in life expectancy saw costs shoot up for the Treasury , which is paying some pensioners for more years in retirement than they spent paying National Insurance as workers . Admittedly , life expectancy gains forecasts are lower of late , though only after rising for many years and probably being skewed by the pandemic . As things stand now , men and women 's state pension age is 66 , and between 2026 and 2028 it will rise again to 67 . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ workplace and other private retirement savings will also go up , from 55 to 57 . ) However , the timing of the next state pension age rise to 68 remains up in the air . Officially , it 's scheduled to happen between 2044 and 2046 , which would affect those born on or after April 1977 . But a previous Government review already recommended the change should be brought forward to 2037-2039 . There were rumours that it was considering hastening the age increase to 2035 , hitting those aged between roughly 43 and 54 now - sparking warnings that ill and poor people and carers would bear the brunt . However , the Government has now delayed a decision on hiking the state pension age to 68 until after the next general election , probably for fear of a fierce backlash by voters . But the stated reason is the current level of uncertainty about the data on life expectancy , labour markets and the public finances . Another review will now be conducted , probably in 2026 . That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any rise , a hike to 68 could still happen in 2036 . Former Pensions Minister Steve Webb , who is now a partner at LCP , adds that there could be a sting in the tail because the most recent review has argued that there should be a cap of 6 per cent of GDP on the total level of state pension spending . ' If this rule was implemented , state pension age would rise from 68 to 69 between 2046 and 2048 , ' he warns . ' Anyone born after 1979 would therefore have a pension age of at least 69 . As the population ages , this new rule would imply even further increases in state pension ages or reductions in the value of state pensions . ' This would be a draconian shift in policy which would be likely to mean today 's younger workers facing a pension age of 70 or above . ' The exact date that you get your state pension will depend on the year you were born . You can work this out using the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ women 's state pension age increases ? Many women born in the 1950s have faced financial hardship while they wait longer than they expected to draw the state pension . A version of the plans to equalise men and women 's state pension age was outlined in 1995 , when the then Conservative Government stated the intention of gradually raising women 's retirement age to 65 between 2010 and 2020 . This was followed in 2007 by a Labour announcement that both men and women would see their retirement age go up to 66 between 2024 and and 2026 . But in 2011 , Chancellor George Osborne brought forward the timing of both changes to 2018 and 2020 respectively , hitting women particularly hard because their increases happened both sooner than expected and in quick succession . Initially , the overhaul included a cap of a maximum two years ' extra wait for a state pension , but protests led to the cap being reduced to 18 months . Some 2.6million women got five years ' notice of a delay to their pension age @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ campaign says it agrees with equalising women 's and men 's pension ages , but not the ' unfair ' way the changes were implemented . It is fighting for measures to cushion the financial blow . A separate group , BackTo60 , brought a legal challenge but this was dismissed by the Court of Appeal in September 2020 . It has now moved on to consider ' the impact that injustice had ' . After that stage of the Ombudsman 's investigation , it is expected to make recommendations to remedy what happened . However , it remains unclear whether the Government will have to stump up some kind of compensation to women , many of whom have struggled financially because they were unaware of the delay in when they could draw a state pension . Not everyone is entitled to the full state pension , which is a regular payment from the Government until you die . Eligibility depends on meeting certain criteria . As well as being the required age , you must have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have paid voluntary National Insurance , or received credits from the government for years spent caring or other issues . Until April 2016 , workers needed to have 30 years of qualifying National Insurance contributions to get the full basic state pension , but everyone retiring since then needs 35 years of contributions to get the new flat rate state pension . However , even if you paid in full for a whole 35 years , if you contracted out of paying additional state pension entitlements - S2P and Serps - for some years on top of that it might still reduce what you get . The full flat rate state pension is ? 203.85 a week or an annual ? 10,600 . This will rise to ? 221.20 or around ? 11,500 a year in April . People who retired before April 2016 on a full basic state pension receive ? 156.20 a week or ? 8,120 a year . This is due to rise to ? 169.50 a week or around ? 8,800 .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes an event where Ekin-Su allegedly pulled out of appearing on a show, but there is no NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

A source told MailOnline : " ' It 's been a bit of a tough couple of weeks for Ekin-Su . She could have played the sob story card but has remained tight-lipped publicly and expressed to those around that she 's aware she must be accountable for a few things that have happened .

Ekin-su was also reportedly told fans had " turned against her " due to the way she had been portrayed on the reality programme . Programme hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best reortedly did little to suppress the volatile reaction of the studio audience , the latter even labelling her " Ekin Boo Hoo Hoo " . This combined with Layton 's honest take triggered hundreds of Ofcom , with some viewers complaining that she was the subject of bullying and forced former host Davina McCall to remind the show of their duty of care . Fans complained to Ofcom about Ekin-Su 's experience ( Image : James Veysey/REX/Shutterstock ) It appears as though the pressure on Ekin-Su heighted on Monday ( March 18 ) after claims she had pulled out of appearing on ITV1 's daytime show Lorraine at the last minute .

And to come out , and have the questions thrown at you like that , I had it and it was so horrible , it 's not right , it 's wrong . " |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'opt out of receiving substitutions altogether' involves an intransitive verb 'opt' with no NP object, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a choice or preference, which is not characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Tesco too , is said to have sent subs to around a third -- where Christmas prep did n't quite go to plan for one customer who was delivered cream crackers instead of the Christmas crackers they were after . Another claimed a ready meal was substituted for a salad .

While grocery substitutions can be a nuisance , particularly for those missing an essential item or a component for a recipe , Which ? says the implications can be more serious for those with a dietary need or allergy . Several shoppers , says its poll , took delivery of items unsuitable for them including lactose-free cheese being replaced with regular cheese and a switch from two vegetarian ready meals to those containing meat .

Thanks to its founding mission , Airlines for Europe ( A4E ) might be naturally inclined towards pointing out things that need improving in the policy and regulatory sphere , but the European airline association also used its annual summit on 20 March to highlight a fundamentally positive development for the region 's carriers . There was a sense among the membership 's largest operators that the incoming European Commission will continue a recent trend of being much more focused on increasing the competitiveness of Europe 's airlines , particularly against strong foreign competition , rather than seeking to stymie their development on environmental grounds . Source : A4E Chief executives from Europe 's airline sector gathered in Brussels for the event " The perception of the importance of aviation has changed , unfortunately often due to sad events , " said Lufthansa Group chief executive Carsten Spohr during a panel session at the event . Policymakers recently saw the social and economic impacts of lost air connectivity thanks to Covid-related travel restrictions and lockdowns , but on top of that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wars and airspace closures and geopolitical tension between the two remaining superpowers , and I think the understanding of how important we are has increased " , Spohr says . Speaking on the same panel , Ryanair group chief executive Michael O'Leary further explained how the perception of aviation among European policymakers in the post-Covid world has shifted , stating : " Five years ago the outlook was much more grim ; it was all worried about global warming and how we tax the crap out of flying ; how do we stop people flying and flight-shaming them . " That 's gone , " he states . He cites the example of recent comments by Sweden 's government regarding the transformation of SAS as it seeks to emerge from Chapter 11 restructuring -- a development that is particularly noteworthy in a country that gave birth to the flight-shaming movement . " Even the Swedes last week were talking about ' how do we reinvigorate SAS , we have to encourage people to fly because our economic development depends on that ' , " O'Leary says @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ next five years , " he adds , citing A4E 's " very outward-looking , growth-focused reform agenda " . That reform agenda includes a call for " competitive decarbonisation " , for which " smart industrial policy and targeted funding from the EU and member states will be key , along with collaboration between airlines and other stakeholders such as fuel producers , aircraft manufacturers , ANSPs and airports " , A4E says . That should help to ensure Europe 's carriers are not burdened by sustainable aviation fuel ( SAF ) mandates , for example , that are only fulfilled by purchasing SAF at prices that damage airlines ' ability to compete with foreign carriers . To achieve that outcome , A4E argues that " it is crucial that Europe supports affordable and reliable domestic production of SAF , particularly in the face of significant market pressure from global players outside of Europe " . The reform agenda also calls for ANSPs , civil airspace users and militaries " to deliver positive steps towards a more seamless and efficient European airspace " , and for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ effect of strikes on services .

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

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes a scenario where users pick small white bags out of plastic pots, which does not involve a causer causing a causee to move out of or be prevented from an action denoted by a VP[-ing] predicate. Therefore, it does not qualify as an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

In news that surprised literally nobody -- vaping is bad for you . Scientists at University College London this week published their findings in the journal Cancer Research that , oh yes , sucking on a candy flavoured nicotine stick " might not be as harmless as originally thought " .

Anything so delicious , coated in kawaii-coloured casing , was always going to wreak havoc inside the body . Whoever wants to suck on a flavoured pouch over a pint , I hear you wonder ? But as one vice dies , another rises . The telegram from the Gen Z front line ( the Blue Posts , Soho ) is this -- behold the rise of the nicotine pouch .

It 's a growing market , last year worth ? 45.8 ? million , up from just ? 3 ? million in 2020 , according to JTI data , and distributors note a current surge -- ? bbs has recorded a " staggering " 97 per cent increase in traffic to its website since September 2023 says Steve McGeough , its general manager .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'pulled out of attending' does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the Prince of Wales deciding not to attend an event, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Princess Kate has gracefully resumed her charitable endeavours from the comfort of her home , months following an abdominal surgery in January that had led to widespread speculation about her health and activities . A spokesperson from Kensington Palace confirmed to the Telegraph that Catherine is gradually re-engaging with her duties at the Royal Foundation Centre of Early Childhood , an initiative close to her heart aimed at enhancing the developmental prospects of babies and young children .

On 17 January , it was confirmed by Kensington Palace that Kate had been admitted to the private London Clinic for planned abdominal surgery .

She looks forward to reinstating as many as possible , as soon as possible . " No further details of the Princess 's condition have been given , but it has been confirmed to be non-cancerous .

" The Princess was later pictured in a car with William as she travelled to London for a private appointment , while her husband attended the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey .

Duncan Scott has won six Olympic medals in the pool including four at Tokyo 2020 , the most ever by a British athlete at a single Games . To stay at the top , the 26-year-old trains 10 times a week , with each session including dozens of lengths of the pool . Based in Stirling , Scotland , he is in the gym three times a week and often heads to altitude camps in Arizona . Scott 's programme means he needs to eat double the guideline daily amount for men every day . His philosophy is simple : eat little and often . " It 's less around key meals and more about eating little and often , " said Scott . " When I 'm training at altitude , it 's about getting in as much food as possible .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, 'pulled out of' is used in a different context where 'out of' is part of the phrasal verb 'pulled out of', and 'buying her first house' is the object of the preposition 'of', not a VP2[-ing] predicate with a causee. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the interpretation is neither movement/extraction nor prevention.

A woman has told how she pulled out of buying her first house after spotting a ' costly ' plant growing in the garden . Lois Connelly was hoping to purchase the Bristol property last autumn when she discovered the planted bamboo . Home surveyors have recently been flagging the hardy plant as an issue - with it costing a hefty sum to remove it . This forces sellers to either take action to remove it or accept a discount on the price to reflect removal costs , the Mirror reports . Between June and December 2023 , invasive plant specialist Environet saw a 55% annual increase in enquiries for bamboo removal relating to property transactions . This shows that buyers are becoming more aware of the risks and insisting that problematic bamboo infestations are dealt with . NHS worker Lois luckily clocked the plant before she committed to the purchase . She was in the process of buying a terraced house in Bristol in autumn 2023 when her Homebuyer Report raised the issue of bamboo and advised her to seek expert advice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sister who spotted the bamboo initially when we viewed the property . It had been planted directly into the ground in both the back and front gardens . " Although it had been cut back , we could see it had spread and was growing right up against the house on both sides . When the surveyor flagged it up on his report , recommending that it be checked by an expert , I realised I was going to have to do something about it . " A check done by Environet found out that the bamboo was a ' running ' type which was already posing a threat to underground services , including pipes and drains , and had begun to encroach into the neighbouring property . Lois asked for a reduction in the price agreed to fund the professional bamboo removal work . At first the seller refused on the grounds that it was unnecessary . Only when she withdrew her offer did the seller finally agree to a price reduction covering half of the removal costs . Lois shared : " The bamboo was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of time until it started causing damage to the property . " As it was already encroaching into next door 's garden , I was also worried about the risk of a legal case against me as the new homeowner . To me , this situation really highlights the lack of awareness around invasive bamboo , as even the seller 's estate agent did n't seem to recognise the problem at first . " I would advise anyone buying a property with bamboo in the garden to have a professional survey done and if necessary , be prepared to walk away if the seller wo n't resolve it .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'pulled out of' in a different context, where 'out of' is part of the phrasal verb 'pulled out of' indicating withdrawal from an action, not the transitive out of -ing construction. There is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either movement/extraction or prevention.

A woman has told how she pulled out of buying her first house after spotting a ' costly ' plant growing in the garden . Lois Connelly was hoping to purchase the Bristol property last autumn when she discovered the planted bamboo . Home surveyors have recently been flagging the hardy plant as an issue - with it costing a hefty sum to remove it . This forces sellers to either take action to remove it or accept a discount on the price to reflect removal costs , the Mirror reports . Between June and December 2023 , invasive plant specialist Environet saw a 55% annual increase in enquiries for bamboo removal relating to property transactions . This shows that buyers are becoming more aware of the risks and insisting that problematic bamboo infestations are dealt with . NHS worker Lois luckily clocked the plant before she committed to the purchase . She was in the process of buying a terraced house in Bristol in autumn 2023 when her Homebuyer Report raised the issue of bamboo and advised her to seek expert advice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sister who spotted the bamboo initially when we viewed the property . It had been planted directly into the ground in both the back and front gardens . " Although it had been cut back , we could see it had spread and was growing right up against the house on both sides . When the surveyor flagged it up on his report , recommending that it be checked by an expert , I realised I was going to have to do something about it . " A check done by Environet found out that the bamboo was a ' running ' type which was already posing a threat to underground services , including pipes and drains , and had begun to encroach into the neighbouring property . Lois asked for a reduction in the price agreed to fund the professional bamboo removal work . At first the seller refused on the grounds that it was unnecessary . Only when she withdrew her offer did the seller finally agree to a price reduction covering half of the removal costs . Lois shared : " The bamboo was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of time until it started causing damage to the property . " As it was already encroaching into next door 's garden , I was also worried about the risk of a legal case against me as the new homeowner . To me , this situation really highlights the lack of awareness around invasive bamboo , as even the seller 's estate agent did n't seem to recognise the problem at first . " I would advise anyone buying a property with bamboo in the garden to have a professional survey done and if necessary , be prepared to walk away if the seller wo n't resolve it . " Bamboo is a plant that grows quickly and can live in most types of soil . It 's popular to create ' screens ' in the garden , increasing privacy .

The Orange Order has said it wants to see " tangible progress " on issues of key concern around the NI Protocol . The Grand Lodge of Ireland held a meeting in Donegal on Saturday 23 March when members " reiterated their opposition to the continued outworkings " of the Protocol . A statement said : " The members present cautiously acknowledged the political developments in respect of the ' Safeguarding the Union ' command paper , but withheld further judgment pending the delivery of tangible progress on implementation around key issues of concern . " Furthermore , the Grand Lodge called on all Unionist elected representatives , regardless of party affiliation , to work together in common cause so as to effectively provide representation and resources for the Unionist community . " ' Safeguarding the Union ' is a deal struck exclusively between the UK government and leadership of the DUP . Speaking in a personal capacity last month , Orange Order grand secretary Rev Mervyn Gibson gave the thumbs-up to Sir Jeffrey Donaldson 's deal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Irish unity " out of sight " . Mr Gibson said while the agreement to restore devolution is n't perfect , it is " a win for unionist determination and unity , and needs to be accepted as such " . He added : " Let 's not turn a significant victory into a defeat . Had unionism not stood its ground there would be no changes . " This deal will not only put a united Ireland out of touching distance , it will knock it out of sight . " Mr Gibson said it " achieved the objectives we required against the constant naysayers screaming ' You 're wasting your time ' " . The Orange Order has yet to make a collective decision on the deal , which grassroots sources predict it wo n't back . |

Some of the rules will affect things such as car tax , personal wages and benefits . There are also a number of new employment laws coming into force which could have a direct effect on some workers ' conditions . Parents face big changes around free childcare and Child Benefit , while some homeowners will be subject to a new council tax rule . New regulations on social housing will also come into force as part of Awaab 's Law . Here 's a breakdown of some of the new laws coming in from April . The government confirmed that the National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage will shoot up by around 10 per cent in April . Meanwhile , workers aged 21 and 22 will be roped into the higher National Living Wage for the first time ever , taking the lowest full-time adult worker 's wage to ? 22,308 a year . The changes will mark the largest cash increase seen by the minimum wage and the first time it has gone up by more than ? 1 , according to the independent Low Pay Commission @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Chancellor Jeremy Hunt said when announcing the wage increase : " Next April , all full-time workers on the national living wage will get a pay rise of over ? 1,800 a year . That will end low pay in this country , delivering on our manifesto promise . The national living wage has helped halve the number of people on low pay since 2010 , making sure work always pays . " Minimum wage rates from April 1 : National Living Wage for those aged 21 and over - ? 11.44 National Minimum Wage for people aged 18 to 20 - ? 8.60 National Minimum Wage for people aged under 18 - ? 6.40 National Minimum Wage for apprentices - ? 6.40 The Resolution Foundation think tank said that at least 1.7 million workers will benefit directly from the increase . National Insurance will be cut from 10 per cent to eight per cent on April 6 . The chancellor said the move will be worth about ? 450 a year to an employee earning an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ National Insurance is being cut from eight per cent to six per cent . Combined with the reductions to National Insurance he announced last autumn which came into force in January , teh chancellor said the measure would mean 27 million employees would get an average tax cut of ? 900 a year , while two million self-employed would have an average ? 650 cut . Last year , the government announced a huge shake-up to free childcare provisions in England and Wales . By September 2025 , most working families with children under the age of five will be entitled to 30 hours of childcare support . Currently , all three and four-year-olds are entitled to 15 hours per week of free childcare , rising to 30 hours for working families , while there are 15 hours available for disadvantaged two-year-olds . But from April 1 this year , working parents of two-year-olds will be able to access 15 hours of free childcare . Eligible parents who do n't register before the deadline of March 31 will miss out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ until September . Then later in the year , from September 2024 , 15 hours of free childcare will be extended down to the age of nine months for working parents . Registration is set to open in May . There are also big changes coming to Child Benefit eligibility next month . From April 6 , around 170,000 families will be taken out of paying the high income tax charge when the threshold at which the charge starts will increase from ? 50,000 to ? 60,000 . The rate at which the fee is charged will also be halved from 1 per cent of the child benefit payment for every additional ? 100 earned above the threshold , to 1 per cent for every ? 200 . This means that child benefit will not be withdrawn in full until a parent is earning ? 80,000 or more . Several new employment laws will come into force from April . Firstly , from April 6 , workers will be given the right to request flexible working from their employer from day one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their employer for 26 weeks or more currently have the right to ask if they can work flexibly . However , a new change to the Employment Relations ( Flexible Working ) Act 2023 will make this a right that applies from the first day of employment . A new law will protect pregnant women against redundancy ( Image : SHARED CONTENT UNIT ) Meanwhile , the Carer 's Leave Act will give unpaid carers the right to take additional unpaid leave from work to help balance caring responsibilities . This will also be implemented on April 6 . In addition , a Bill that strengthens employment rights for new mothers and mothers-to-be will protect them against redundancy for longer . The government is introducing new legislation next month in a bid to cut net migration . From April 4 , the minimum salary required for those arriving on the Skilled Worker visa will increase from ? 26,200 to ? 38,700 -- a 48 per cent increase . The minimum income requirement for family visas will also rise , initially @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2025 this will be increased to ? 38,700 . It comes after new restrictions were brought in on March 11 , which restricted foreign care workers bringing relatives with them to the UK and requiring care providers to register with the Care Quality Commission if they are sponsoring migrants . Vehicle Excise Duty ( VED ) is set to rise from April 1 in line with inflation based on the Retail Price Index ( RPI ) - an increase of roughly 6 per cent . Increases in cost in the new tax year will vary depending on the type of vehicle you have . Those with older petrol and diesel cars will likely see less drastic rises than newer vehicles with higher CO2 levels . Andy Wood , a tax expert from Tax Natives , explained : " The amount of tax one pays is determined by the pollution output of the vehicle . Simply put , cars emitting more pollutants are subjected to higher VED rates . This means that those who drive petrol and diesel cars that produce higher contaminants will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vehicles have a more significant environmental impact . " The Department for Levelling Up , Housing and Communities will implement a tough new rule that doubles council tax on long-term empty properties from April 1 . Minister for Local Government Simon Hoare said : " Long term empty properties are shutting local families and young people out of the housing market as they are being denied the opportunity to rent or buy in their own community . " So , we are taking action as part of our long-term plan for housing . That means delivering more of the right homes in the right places and giving councils more powers to help give local people the homes they need . " However , a small number of exceptions will be applied which the government says will make the changes fairer for homeowners . For example , exceptions may apply if a home is uninhabitable due to renovations or if it is not available for use year-round due to planning restrictions .

Reasoning

The sentence 'Every time I asked for help, they would laugh, tell me I was making a big deal out of nothing, and rush me out of their offices.' involves the transitive out of -ing construction in the phrase 'rush me out of their offices.' Here, 'they' (NP subject) + 'rush' (V1) + 'me' (NP object) + 'out of their offices' (VP2[-ing] predicate) fits the structural pattern. The interpretation is a movement/extraction interpretation, where 'they' cause 'me' to move out of their offices by rushing. The verb 'rush' falls under the category of exerting force or pressure, which is one of the classified verb types for this construction. The NP object 'me' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, fulfilling the semantic requirement. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

A mum who felt a ' strange sensation ' in her throat and had a ' cough that would n't go away ' was left horrified when she found out what it was . Ashley Vassallo , 34 , from California , US , has opened up about her health battle with cancer to help raise awareness . She faced severe symptoms but was overlooked by doctors for nearly a year , allowing her condition to worsen . Ashley , who is fighting advanced lung cancer , is taking to TikTok to share a powerful reminder -- do n't be afraid to self-advocate . Talking about her condition , she said : " I felt a strange sensation in my throat and crackling in my chest , and swallowing became hard . The cough that followed just would n't go away . " I could n't even laugh without having a coughing fit . I was exhausted , losing weight , and struggling to keep up with my two young sons . " I visited the doctor 20 times , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the possibility of lung cancer . " Ashley , after all , does n't fit the profile of a typical lung cancer patient . It is often seen as older men who have a history of smoking . " I guess I 'm far from that stereotype , but I knew something was wrong , and no one wanted to listen to me , " she said . " After doing my own research , I 've learnt that lung cancer can affect anyone , regardless of their lifestyle or age . " Ashley said doctors would n't take her concerns seriously at first ( Image : @onelunglady/Cover Images ) Ashley 's story underscores the critical importance of advocating for oneself in healthcare settings . She continued : " Getting a doctor to actually take me seriously was so much harder than it should have been . " Every time I asked for help , they would laugh , tell me I was making a big deal out of nothing , and rush me out of their offices . " A full year before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ might have a tumour in my lung or throat , but they brushed it off as stress , telling me I was overthinking . Various misdiagnoses were thrown my way -- anxiety , asthma , allergies , and even pneumonia . " Ashely was almost convinced her symptoms were psychosomatic . " I felt as though , for the first time , I did n't understand my body , " she said . " I felt a deep knowing something was terribly wrong , but the medical community told me otherwise . Thankfully , I trusted my instincts and persisted . " After many more months of begging and pleading , doctors finally ordered a CT scan , which revealed Ashley had stage 4 lung cancer . Despite now having a diagnosis , her self-advocate journey was far from over . " I was set to have a pneumonectomy ( my right lung removed ) in April 2023 , " she said . " Just a week before the surgery , the health provider decided we needed more tests and more opinions from their team . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clear plan , I decided to meet with other health institutions for further surgical consults . I connected with a dynamic and dedicated surgeon at Kaiser in Oakland , who was confident that removing my lung would provide me with the quality of life and extended prognosis we 've all been hoping for . " Ashley underwent the surgery three months later . The pneumonectomy was successful , but she still has a long road ahead , including immunotherapy every three weeks for two years , followed by biannual monitoring for three years . Ashley says it 's important to self-advocate if you 're not being listened to ( Image : @onelunglady/Cover Images ) " While my life is different now , it 's better than it was , " she said . " I 'm kayaking , cycling and chasing my kids . I 'm able to laugh again , and I 'm back at work . " I stick to activities where I can take it easy when I need to , especially when it comes to keeping my heart rate in check . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ feeling out of breath , considering what I 've been through . I have to be so careful about the air quality around me . Pollution and strong scents make it really hard for me to breathe .

" Document everything -- start by keeping a detailed journal of your symptoms , noting when they occur , their intensity , and any potential triggers . " You should also seek a second option . If you feel your concerns are being brushed aside , do n't hesitate to ask the front desk to schedule an appointment with a different doctor within the same practice . If that 's not an option or does n't help , look into getting a second opinion from another practice altogether .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not exhibit either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a building being 'out of keeping with the area,' which is a different usage of 'out of' not related to the transitive out of -ing construction.

Plans for two blocks of flats blasted for their " horrendous prisonlike " design have been rejected amid fears of " illegal parking " in Cheltenham town centre . Lane Britton and Jenkins ' proposals to demolish the former J R Laboratories Ltd site at in Lower High Street to make way for two blocks of flats have been rejected . Their scheme , which included 12 one bedroom apartments and six two bedroom flats , was put before Cheltenham Borough Council 's planning committee last week . Officers told the meeting at the Municipal Offices on March 21 that the " car less " scheme was " highly sustainable " but no affordable housing could be secured . And future residents would not be allowed to take out a parking permit . Julia Manning , an objector speaking on behalf of residents at Honeybourne Gate , raised concerns the lack of spaces would lead to " illegal parking " on the narrow footway in Lower High Street . She said the four-storey building was out of keeping with the area and would have an overbearing impact on the nearby apartments exclusively occupied by older @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ apartment is crucial to their quality of life , " she said . Oliver Rider , the applican'ts agent , said the proposals would redevelop a " tired and redundant " site in the town . He said the site opposite was recently redeveloped with a four-storey apartment block . " The current application has been designed to follow the scale of that building and clearly we are a lot smaller than the neighbouring Honeybourne Gate care development which is another development as well , " he said . Oliver Ryder , the agent speaking on behalf of the applicant , said the proposals would redevelop a " tired and redundant " site in the town . ( Image : CBC ) Mr Rider said the plans have been a long time in the making and the final design was in line with council officer 's advice . " You 're officers have got it bang on in their report where they conclude the development respects the character of the conservation area , " he added . Councillor David Willingham ( LD , St Peters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ council had dealt with the proposals and that it was a " mess " . He believed it was unlawful for them to approve the proposals because the viability report for the scheme had not been published - the report explains why the developers can not afford to allocate any affordable housing on the site . " You have unlawfully withheld this document from public scrutiny , " he told the committee . " We have an applicant saying it is not viable , you have withheld that document . " He also raised concerns over the lack of Human Rights Act assessment as the council owns part of the land . " The council is a potential financial beneficiary because it owns part of the land , " he said . Councillor David Willingham ( LD , St Peters ) told the committee he was angry how the council had dealt with the proposals and that it was a mess . ( Image : CBC ) " It has also granted an advertising planning permission on the side of 452 High Street which would be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Despite officers being told in writing several times of these two issues they have failed to address it . " If the objectors judicially review it , you have been told of these problems and it would be reckless to proceed . It might also end up in Private Eye 's Rotten Boroughs , who knows . " But it does n't give a good look to this council where it is both planning authority and potential financial beneficiary for things like that to be withheld . " He also said the Borough Council was expecting taxpayers to pay for a parking restriction rather than the developer . The parking survey in an area where there is a large number of students was done when they were on holiday , he said . Cllr Victoria Atherstone ( LD , St Peters ) said she was excited when she first heard of the housing proposals but now is appalled by the lack of affordable housing and parking . ( Image : CBC ) " You are failing people by not making the developer pay for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ danger , it will cause car accidents . " Cllr Victoria Atherstone ( LD , St Peters ) said she was excited when she first heard of the housing proposals but was later appalled by the lack of affordable housing and parking . " I dread how awful it would become to find a parking space to have an extra 18 homes all needing somewhere to park . " Chris Gomm , planning officer , said viability appraisals will be published without redactions going forward . However , there are older applications in the system which predate that approach , he told the committee . He confirmed the Borough Council owned a small part of the site . " In this particular case , the viability appraisal has been circulated to members of the planning committee by the case officer . While it is not publicly available it has been circulated to members . " He said regarding the advertisement it is not the role of the planning committee to protect a particular view across private land . Councillor Bernie Fisher ( LD , Swindon Village @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ looked like a " prison block " .

It 's really poor in every angle . They are a bit hovelish . " And Cllr Simon Wheeler ( LD , Hesters Way ) said parking is the major issue . " It would n't have been impossible to design those with a drop off point at the front , " he said .

A massive change to benefit rules will mean 170,000 families wo n't have to hand back their payments via a tax charge . The revamp of Child Benefit will take effect from April 2024 , with further reforms coming in by April 2026 . Chancellor Jeremy Hunt announced the move in his Spring Budget . It will see the threshold for the High Income Child Benefit Charge ( HICBC ) raised to ? 60,000 , taking 170,000 families out of paying this tax . Child Benefit is handled by HMRC and entitlement is dependent on a household 's taxable income . Under the current rules , HICBC is imposed on anyone with an income over ? 50,000 who gets Child Benefit , or whose partner gets it . The charge , which increases gradually for those with incomes between ? 50,000 and ? 60,000 , is equal to 1 per cent of a family 's Child Benefit for every ? 100 of adjusted net income over ? 50,000 each tax year .

Families must pay the charge at the end of each tax year by filling in a self-assessment form . But people can also choose to claim Child Benefit while not actually receiving any , meaning they wo n't be liable for the tax charge -- a process known as opting out . If you choose not to get Child Benefit payments , you are still encouraged to make a claim in order to get National Insurance credits that count towards a State Pension - an important point for non-working partners who are not making contributions via deductions from a salary . Claimants also get a National Insurance number for their child without having to apply for one .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('taking 170,000 families out of paying this tax'). It implies a prevention interpretation where the action of 'taking' prevents the families from 'paying this tax'.

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

Are you surprised or one of those who worked hard , and landed a role in your dream job , that became an ' accidental manager ' ?

What often happens when you 're a star performer is that in response to you being so great , you get promoted to a management position in recognition of your abilities . But now , you 've got a load of people-related headaches -- and you do n't get to do what you love any more , because there 's just no time .

Today 's best managers know they need to be focused on helping their employees do their best work , and understanding what that requires . If you 've never had a good boss or have been shunted into a management position with little or no support , you 'll know how detrimental , not to mention lonely , it can be . It wo n't come as a surprise to many that the same study found that bad managers and toxic work culture are causing one in three UK workers to quit their job . And only 27% can describe their manager as ' highly effective ' It is no wonder as a result that the bad boss trope is rife across British pop culture . From Alan Partridge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ineptitude of The Office 's David Brent , and the sheer firehose of contempt Malcom Tucker unleashes on his staff in The Thick Of It , we simply love to hate them .

This dropped to just 15% where there was a bad boss in place . Additionally , when there is good leadership in place , the study found that 74% were more satisfied with their job , 77% were motivated , and 67% said their organisation had a good culture .

The sentence 'Labour leader will also hit out at Mr Sunak for chickening out of calling a general election to coincide with the local elections on May 2.' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Here, 'Mr Sunak' is the NP object and 'calling a general election' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. The verb 'chickening out of' implies a prevention interpretation, where the action of calling a general election is being prevented. This aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Angela Rayner has branded the Tories ' promise to level up the country a " sham and a scam " . Labour 's Deputy Leader said Rishi Sunak had failed to boost left behind areas left with hollowed out public services and transport . The comments come as she prepares to launch the party 's local election campaign alongside Keir Starmer in the West Midlands . Speaking to The Mirror , she said : " I think levelling up has been a sham and a scam . I think they identified a problem , which is absolutely correct , the regional inequalities , which we 've seen actually get worse under the Conservatives . " Instead she said the scheme had left councils being forced to fork out millions in bids to compete for " pots of money " . A Labour analysis also claims the gap in average earnings between London and other parts of the country has grown in every region apart from the South West since 2010 . Asked why voters should now trust Labour to deliver , she pointed to the work of the party 's mayors and praised London @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ She said : " What would be transformative instead of them having to frustrate to try and get those powers and get the government to work with them , in a Labour government you 're going to have a government that will work with them to make it happen . " On Thursday she will outline plans to give local areas more power over transport , skills and planning to kickstart their economies . Regional mayors will also be required by law under a new Take Back Control Act if Labour wins power to draw up plans for how they will boost growth . Asked whether the levelling up slogan needed to be detoxified and rebranded , she replied : " I think to be honest people have had enough of slogans so I 'm not interested in the branding . " Ms Rayner said people were now left " cynical " after " very catchy " promises were made by the Tories but there was a " lack of ambition and aspiration and power " behind them . The Deputy Leader insisted she will introduce an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the general election and said it will be crucial in " turning the tide " of Tory decline . Ms Rayner added : " Well look we 've had 14 years of insecure work now and people not being able to get on in life . If you 've not got a job that secures your hours , or a secure contract , or you 're in terminal low pay you ca n't get on in life . You ca n't get a mortgage , you ca n't plan your future . It 's also poor for business as well . " Businesses recognise you have high staff turnover , the vacancy rates that we have in certain sectors now . The current employment system is broken and things have to change . " She said her message alongside Mr Starmer on Thursday will be : " It 's time for change and Labour are that change . We will start the process of renewal . We 'll turn a page on the Tory chaos and actually we 'll start doing the real hard work to make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Labour leader will also hit out at Mr Sunak for chickening out of calling a general election to coincide with the local elections on May 2 .

He wants one last , drawn out summer , with his beloved helicopter . And so , we 're going to have to use these local elections to send him another message and show his party -- once again - that their time is up . The dithering must stop , the date must be set , because Britain wants change , and it 's time for change with Labour . " |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'opt out of' which is a phrasal verb followed by a gerund phrase, but lacks an NP object that functions as a causee.

Renee Bruns Wednesday March 27 2024 , 6.00pm , The Sunday Times I started travelling when I was a young girl , growing up in Maria Stein , Ohio , in the US . I was born with a skeletal disorder -- I have used a wheelchair almost my entire life -- and spent much of my childhood travelling around America to seek treatment from specialists . I often call my love for travel the silver lining of my disability . Fast-forward to me being 38 years old , when I decided to leave my successful career as an insurance executive . My mission was to reshape my views of humanity . I had always dreamt of taking a mid-career break and had been saving for a trip like this for more than 15 years -- it was important to me that I completely fund the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ post-pandemic burnout , I knew the time had come . I planned to be away for one year , with one or two trips back to the US to see my family . I knew I wanted to travel in Southeast Asia -- Indonesia , Malaysia , Brunei and Singapore -- so I booked a one-way ticket to Bali , with no definite plans for where I would go after that . Renee Bruns in Bariloche , Argentina RENEE BRUNS In the weeks leading up to my trip , I was incredibly afraid . I read as much as I could about each place I wanted to visit . While some were supposedly wheelchair accessible , I knew from previous travel experience that accessibility means different things in each country , and often each hotel . How would I manage ? What if I could n't get into the hotels I 'd booked ? Or worse , what if the bathrooms were n't accessible ? While I could crawl up a flight of stairs if I needed to , that would hardly be ideal . Crawling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'd travelled all over the world before this trip , but never for more than a few weeks at a time , and always with a loved one . My mum , siblings , friends or partner , Tony , would always be there to help when I needed them . This time , though , I was travelling completely alone . I would find out just how much -- or how little -- of the world is designed for people who use a wheelchair . I anticipated there would be some challenges , but what I struggled with most was how my wheelchair was handled on planes . I never knew if it was going to be stored in the cabin or taken to the hold with the rest of the luggage . On previous trips , my wheelchair had been damaged and I worried that might happen as I arrived in a new place , completely alone . On one flight during my travels , my wheelchair was accidentally sent to another country . I arrived in Micronesia -- a small island nation in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was devastating . The next flight was n't arriving for two days and the only wheelchair available was too big , not something I could comfortably use to explore the island . I spent most of my time in my hotel room and was only reunited with my wheelchair a few days later in the beautiful Marshall Islands . Bruns in the Maldives RENEE BRUNS The big draws in many countries are their ancient sites , such as Angkor Wat in Cambodia or the Colosseum in Rome , but they 're often the hardest places to navigate . It does n't matter how beautiful they are , I struggle to get around and often have to view historic sites from a distance . When I visited the Anne Frank museum in Amsterdam , I was only able to view it from the ground floor , near the entrance . It 's the same for natural wonders too , such as the Patagonia region in South America . I am unable to hike through the typically rough terrain , so I can often only see them from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And so much of the world is covered in cobbles -- for me , this is the most difficult terrain to manoeuvre on . I try to not let it stop me , but often I will opt out of seeing or experiencing something because it 's just too difficult to get to , sometimes even just a restaurant with tables on the street . I have stayed at several hotels that were listed as accessible only to arrive and find out there were three or more steps to get to my room -- too many to get up with my wheelchair . In some cases , even if I were able to get to my room , the bathroom door would be too narrow for my chair . I crawled to the loo when I had to . Angkor Wat in Cambodia ALAMY In many of these situations , I did n't speak the local language and my frustrations would be compounded knowing that I could n't communicate my needs . But I did n't give up . I could n't . I really @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ meant that it might be harder for me than others , then I would fight through it . But the thing about that , about not giving up , is that when I persevered , I was able to see a side of life that I would have missed had I not gone out to explore the world . I got to see it from a beautiful perspective shared by few others -- that of a solo , female , disabled traveller . When I was in Morocco and a screw fell out of my wheelchair , three young men working on the side of the street stopped to help me . They dismantled their motorcycles to find a screw that would fit into my wheel axle , then did n't leave before they 'd fixed it . The screw lasted until I made it back home . In Sri Lanka , when I arrived at my hotel in Negombo late at night and found there were three steps up to the lobby , the staff carried me in my wheelchair up the stairs and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I insisted it was n't necessary , but the next morning , a custom-built , perfectly designed ramp was sitting at the lobby entrance . With elephants in Thailand RENEE BRUNS The people in Havana , Cuba , surprised me when I needed help up a flight of stairs to reach Paladar Los Mercaderes , the family-owned restaurant known for its authentic Cuban food and colonial-era fa ? ade . A young man driving a tuk-tuk-like Cocotaxi stopped and carried me up the stairs on his back . Many years ago I was travelling with my family in Istanbul , Turkey . We had got on the wrong train and were lost in the middle of the night , but I remember one man who insisted on staying with us until we found our hotel . He wanted to make sure we made it there safely . And in Bulgaria , when I arrived at my hotel to find the only available room was up six flights of stairs , the owners took it upon themselves to find me somewhere more suitable to stay . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ minutes to make sure I found somewhere . In total I 've travelled to 124 countries and all seven continents , and have received a Guinness World Record for " most countries visited in one year using a wheelchair " -- that was 66 . The stories of kindness that I have from around the world are endless . And they are my most treasured stories , memories and lessons . It might sound surprising , but I believe that travelling with a disability comes with a lot of advantages . I often get to jump queues at the airport , museums and other tourist attractions . I frequently get a discount to visit tourist sites too . But all of that is nothing compared to the special perspective I have been given -- the chance to experience a true , authentic side of humankind . That 's what keeps me travelling . |

Welcome to How I Do It , the series in which we give you a seven-day sneak peek into the sex life of a stranger . This week we hear from Claire* , a 33-year-old digital marketer , who lives between Greenwich , London and Cape Town , South Africa . She 's happily married to her husband of six years , but discovered in lockdown that she is bisexual . ' I spent my teenage and university years convinced that the flutters I felt for women were just envy , ' Claire says . ' It was n't until the pandemic where I watched a TikTok about bisexuality not being a 50/50 split between attraction to men and women . ' It fluctuates , like 5/95 or 30/70 , and I started realising just how into women I am . ' Claire raised this with her husband in 2020 . ' He was very supportive of my realisation that I 'm bi , but initially did n't like the idea of me acting on it , ' she says . ' After a few months , he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ marriage with women . When I asked if he wanted to be involved , he said maybe one day , but the idea of it is hot enough for him for now . ' Claire is n't interested in dating anyone and has n't experimented with a woman as of yet , although she and her husband also experiment in other ways : with edibles . Her and her husband 's sex is ' fun , healthy and lets off steam ' , especially when they get high . ' I 'd like my sex life to be this good when I 'm old , ' Claire says . Without further ado , here 's how Claire got on this week ... The following sex diary is , as you might imagine , not safe for work . My husband and I started working remotely during COVID and we figured out that the best stress reliever in the workday is a quickie . It takes 20 minutes , roughly the time it would otherwise take to make and enjoy a cup of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , an orgasm also alleviates tension and lifts our moods , and we sometimes treat it as an incentive . Today , we set ourselves a target of how much work we both need to get through in order to have our quickie . You 'd be amazed how fast I can clear my inbox when I get to hop into bed between meetings . We have a working deal that any time the other feels up to it , we pop into the other 's workspace and suggest it . Sometimes I 'll clack the laptop closed and come running , and sometimes I 'll be deep in the weeds of a project and ask for an hour 's delay . Or I 'll say I 'm not in the mood , but that 's pretty rare . I 'm mid-way through a client proposal when my husband pops his head in for another proposal . He holds up a vibrator and buzzes it suggestively . The client proposal can wait . Half an hour later , I 'm back at my desk , a bit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have finished this proposal first . I 'm a bit bored during a lull in work , so I pull open the hook-up app I 've chosen and aimlessly browse through who 's in my area . Quite a few couples are looking for a third , but I would much prefer being with a solo woman . It 's quite difficult to find someone who seems like a good fit , since I have such unique circumstances . Having my husband trust me so much and knowing he 's aroused by me being turned on by women is really attractive . Thinking about it now during the workday is ... distracting . But he 's out of town today so alas , it 's me and my toys . I do a bit of gardening -- we grow a lot of our own herbs and vegetables , so I add some extra soil , some fertiliser and pull away any dead leaves and branches . In the evening I binge The Bear ( late to the party but I love it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we have , the more I want . For a few years , we had some dry spells and getting back into it felt kind of tough to do . But , now that we have sex regularly , I find I ca n't go more than a few days without it -- except days like today where I 'm panicking about work . I 'm really frazzled after getting some bad feedback on one of my projects . Sometimes sex is a good distraction from work stress but , on days like today , it 's the furthest thing from my mind . My husband is totally understanding and does n't make any kinds of sexual proposals today . Instead , he offers me a foot rub and makes me as many cups of tea as I ask for . He offers to get curry from our favourite spot for dinner as a pick-me-up . I count my lucky stars that this is the man I 'll grow old with . Today is a slow start . Neither of us has much to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I wake up before my husband and kill time by scrolling through Instagram and making a grocery shopping list with ideas for the next week . He mumbles that he 's awake and scoots across to spoon me from behind . He 's hard in the morning , like usual , but unlike most mornings where we 've got work to get to , I decide to capitalise on it , rolling over to wrap my arms around him . I do a quick check that I remembered to take my pill last night . We have been talking about him getting a vasectomy since we 've decided we do n't want children . I find it attractive that he 's as committed to remaining child-free as I am . We love our life and do n't really want anything to change -- except maybe , more women in the picture . He moves on top of me and I find myself wondering if sex with a woman could possibly feel this good . Seconds later , I forget about women entirely and focus only on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ long breakfast before getting to work . Remote working has its perks . It 's a weekend night , which means edibles are on the cards . We got into edibles in our 20s , since we do n't enjoy smoking . Usually , weed edibles just make us sleepy but we 've learned to time it right and enjoy the heightened sensations it provides . When we 're high , food tastes better , so we figured sex must surely feel better too . Initially , we were n't sure how it would work out since men 's sexual performance is sometimes a bit lacklustre while drunk , but this is n't the case at all with weed . They just mellow us out so nicely that it 's much easier to focus on the sensations of one 's body and tap into sensations for the sake of pleasure , rather than trying to finish . Edibles also warp senses of time , so it 'll feel like you 've been in bed for hours , when actually it has n't been that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weed brownies . I do n't love the taste of edibles , so I chase it with a bite of normal chocolate . Then , we wait an hour , so it starts to kick in and once it does , we turn on our mood lighting and strip down . Compared to the quickies we prefer during the week , high sex is much slower ( or maybe it just feels that way since it plays with time perception ) . Everything feels better , your nerves are alight , in an electric way . I used to worry orgasms would be few and far between while high but we 're well-versed in it all now and it 's as explosive as I 've come to expect . Afterwards , we fall asleep almost instantly . I think I might go to a gay club tonight . Apps are fun to browse but , since I met my husband before dating apps existed , I always feel a bit like a fish out of water . To be fair , I feel that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ last time I went to one , there was a gorgeous girl with a septum ring ( I did n't even know those did it for me but hey ) , who held my hands while we danced . I found out she was in her early 20s though , and got the ick . At 33 , the youngest age I think I could be with is maybe 30 . Where are the 30-year-old women who do n't want relationships and are interested in experimenting with married women with supportive husbands ? I get so bloody intimidated by the whole thing . I 've slept with men my whole life . I know exactly what I 'm doing with them . If I even got the chance to be with a woman , I 'm scared I 'll be petrified and freeze up . Or I 'll try , but be atrocious in bed . I chicken out of heading to a gay club after hearing that some people I know are going . I 'm not interested in answering questions about cheating on my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cheering me on . But I 'm also not opening that can of worms with friends . What happens in my marriage is private . After feeling a bit let down about the whole ' will I die before so much as kissing a woman ? ' thing yesterday , my husband and I opt for a bit of a green day today . Instead of waiting until after dinner to enjoy our brownies , we decide to eat them in the afternoon . We make sure all the standard weekend chores are out of the way , I head to the gym for a HIIT class , shower , then we chow down and wait for it to kick in . We decide to put on some lo-fi music since it sounds even better when we 're high and chilling out . With the best of intentions , we plan for high sex again but we get distracted with reels . His algorithm spits out food videos whereas mine is mostly cats and their crazy antics . I go find our cat , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fur since it feels so therapeutic . I fall asleep early and wake up to the effects wearing off . We order a pizza and curl up to watch reruns of our favourite sitcoms . I make a mental note to order more brownies , since we only have a couple more in the fridge . |

Jeremie Frimpong got a kick out of reminiscing with his former Celtic teammates at last week 's reunion in Amsterdam . And the former Hoops hero is convinced the good times will continue to roll at his old club with Callum McGregor back in business . Dutch ace Frimpong squared up with a few of his old pals in last week 's 4-0 friendly win against Scotland . The full back -- now starring for Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga -- was thrilled to relive his trophy success at Celts . But he reckons the return of McGregor , who missed the trip to the Netherlands , will ensure more silverware this season . Frimpong said : " It was great to see some familiar faces . It was nice to speak to Ryan Christie , Craig Gordon , Tony Ralston and Greg Taylor . It was nice to talk about the old times and the success we had . I know a few of them have left the club as well , but some are still there . I still look to see how they 're doing and I believe they can come strong for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Guys like Callum are still there . When I was at the club we had Scott Brown as our leader . But Callum was right up there with him . We had a few big players in that dressing room and they were an inspiration to me . I was new to it all and it was great to see how professional they were . They took me in , gave me advice -- they were excellent , on and off the pitch . " Frimpong was n't surprised to see McGregor chucked the captain 's armband -- because the midfielder was the obvious successor to Brown . The Dutch star said : " I knew Callum would be the captain after Scott . Everyone knew it . I think it was pretty obvious as he has all the attributes you want in a captain . Not like me ! I could never be the captain ! " But Callum is fantastic on and off the pitch . It 's no surprise to see him become a successful Celtic captain , winning the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so important to the team and if he 's back in the team again for the remaining games , I 've got no doubt he can lead them to more trophies . " Frimpong only spent 18 months in Glasgow but he made a big impact and his time left a lasting impression on the rampaging fullback before his ? 11.5m move to Germany . And he reckons the current crop of young Celtic prospects should make the most of their big chance . Frimpong said : " I 'm so grateful for my time at Celtic . They gave me my big chance . If it was n't for them I would n't be playing with Bayer Leverkusen , I would n't have the chance to go to the Euros in Germany this summer . My time at Celtic was so special . In my first season we won the Treble . I was talking to Ryan about our memories there . ( Image : PA ) " My time in Scotland is something I 'll never forget . I 'll forever be grateful to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were so welcoming . They really took me in . I know there are some young players at Celtic now and I 'd just say it 's an unbelievable place to play football . " Frimpong keeps tabs on his old club and Celtic fans are also watching his career closely -- with the 23-year-old linked with big money moves to England that could secure the Hoops a tasty kickback from their sell-on clause . The youngster has been in stunning form for Bayer Leverkusen on their way to a 10-point league lead over Bayern Munich . He laughed off suggestions he 's set to make his old club some more dosh and said : " I do n't know about that ! I feel if you are playing well in football there is always talk about where someone might go next , or if they are going to stay . " I 'm so focused on Leverkusen and the competitions we are still competing for . I 'm very hopeful we can win them . It 's an exciting time for my club . It 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it 's full gas until the end of the season . " Frimpong faced off against Ange Postecoglou 's Celts in the Europa League just months after he left -- and he 'd love another Parkhead return in the Champions League . The flying full back said : " It would be perfect to go back there in the Champions League . " I went back to Celtic with Leverkusen in the Europa League and it was really nice to return to where it started . I was playing against them and I still got a great reception , that was special . You always want to see Celtic in the Champions League and it would be extra special to be in the same group . " Frimpong enjoyed going up against Scotland last Friday too -- and reckons the Tartan Army should n't be too worried about the Euros despite recent results . He said : " It was a really good game against Scotland . They gave us a tough challenge . They were very good in the first half in particular . We had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " Scotland are a good side . We have a strong squad and our big aim is to win the Euros . We know it wo n't be an easy job at all , as there are a lot of great teams . It 'll be difficult , but also exciting . Scotland can be excited as well , I 'm sure they can achieve a lot there .

Her father has done time for drug possession and one uncle was sentenced to death for murder , while another has convictions for violence - meet the mob family of Bianca Censori . The architecture graduate , who is grabbing headlines for her weird and wonderful wardrobe , tied the knot with rapper Kanye West two years ago and the first thing she did was reveal the family skeletons . Bianca 's Italian born father Elia ' Leo ' Censori was jailed in 1982 for five years for possessing heroin and like his brothers revelled in their origins and modelled themselves on the crime families from their homeland . The same year her uncle Eris - a notorious gangland killer once dubbed ' Melbourne 's Al Capone ' - was sentenced to death for the murder of Perth waiter Michael Sideris . Eris was also given eight years for possession of heroin in a later trial and fined $20,000 Australian dollars - almost ? 46,000 in today 's money . However , the sentence was later commuted on ' royal prerogative of mercy ' to life imprisonment . Kanye West and Bianca @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bianca 's Italian born father Elia ' Leo ' Censori ( pictured ) was jailed in 1982 for five years for possessing heroin Leo Censori 's former wife ' ratted ' him out on the front page of the Herald Sun in 1991 As well as heroin dealing , Leo also has convictions for possession of a pistol and fully jacketed ammunition . In 1991 , Leo 's former wife Faye Glascott spilled the beans on his illegal gambling empire . She told a local paper reporter from the Herald Sun that Leo had been involved in a cartel that controlled a large slice of a lucrative illegal gambling industry in Melbourne during the 80s . Ms Glascott at the time said her former husband -- who ran a slot machine firm - had made a fortune from illegal gambling . ' Leo can stack money better than a bank , ' she said as she revealed how she had found rolls of money - up to $40,000 - hidden around their Alphington home and recalled seeing about $60,000 sitting on their coffee @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's Leo was also given a police escort as it emerged their was a contract out on him with rival gangsters aiming to kill him so they could rob his takings . The local newspaper quoted his former wife as saying Bianca 's dad was a ' heavy criminal figure ' . She added : ' I was fighting with him because he was going into the kitchen to measure things using my utensils . I did n't like that stuff in my home . It was a nightmare . ' Edmondo , Leo , and Eris along with three other siblings were child immigrants when they arrived in Australia with their parents Filippo and Grazia in the 1960s .

As a teenager Eddie was known to hang around suburban coffee bars in Melbourne before the family went into the games machine business before going on to be linked to violence and drugs . While the party-loving Bianca was enjoying the friendship of former schoolmates in Melbourne , her father and uncles were pulling in large amounts of money from their criminal activities . Ms Glascott said her ex-husband had made a career out of studying gamblers and working out what they wanted . She said : ' He knows what gets them in .

' Some people love him but they have to love him , his machines put money in their pockets ... They are all creeps . ' They say that they like him because he makes them money . When he went to prison , none of them wanted to know about it . ' Ms Glascott suggested Leo ' would never change ' his wicked ways ' . She added : ' I tried to coax Leo into going into a legitimate business ; to use his money , to turn it into white money , to go into something where he did n't have to worry about it . ' But there is the criminal in Leo . He gets a buzz out of the police trying to catch him and he beats them by changing the programs on the machines . He gets a buzz out of that . |

Sean Dyche , Manager of Everton , checks his watch prior to the Premier League match between AFC Bournemouth and Everton FC at Vitality Stadium on March 30 , 2024 ( Image : Photo by Bryn Lennon/Getty Images ) Sean Dyche believes Everton were once again undone by a controversial decision after Dominic Calvert-Lewin was brought down in the Bournemouth box . The forward was caught by Tyler Adams in an incident VAR looked at , leading officials to acknowledge contact was made by the home player . The ECHO understands the decision was not sent back to referee Samuel Barrott because that connection was deemed too " minimal " . Speaking about the decision in his post-match press conference the Blues boss said he expected a " weird interpretation " to explain why it was the correct call . It was a crucial moment in a game that was goalless at the time . But Dyche accepted the calamitous second goal , an unfortunate own goal from Seamus Coleman , was also costly as Everton fell to a 2-1 loss . Dyche said : " How we do n't get a penalty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do , I do n't know , I think we are all scratching our heads about VAR this season ... that is actually contact , a proper kick in the shin , how is that not given ? They will give me some weird interpretation for sure . " Dominic Solanke later headed Bournemouth in front before a mistake by home goalkeeper Neto allowed Beto to equalise in stoppage time . But there was still time for the mix-up between Coleman and Jordan Pickford that saw a harmless Adam Smith cross bounce in off the body of the club captain . Dyche said : " I 'm frustrated and disappointed with the dilemmas of the game , for such a simple moment we get confused , there is a miscommunication and then they get a goal out of nothing really . I did n't think they had us in too much trouble in the second half , and without looking an amazing threat we find a goal , which I am pleased about . I speak to the group and say it ca n't always be a perfect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or a toe or a knee or whatever you need to do , which we did and we should go away with a point . But we ca n't make mistakes like that . " |

The sentence 'They scored out of nothing.' does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate, and it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'out of nothing' seems to function as an adverbial phrase indicating the manner of scoring.

Rovers were beaten 1-0 at home by Ipswich but had two goals ruled out . They are winless in nine but Eustace was proud of his side 's effort and disappointed the disallowed goals did n't count . He said : " Frustrated but very proud as well . I thought the effort of the group was outstanding . After the week we 've had with the injuries and bit of sickness in the camp as well , to have possibly four starters out of the XI , I thought the effort was outstanding . " We 've gone up against a very good team and played very well and we 're disappointed not to get anything out of the game . " The Greens went 1-0 up at Norwich City but were undone by two second half corners and lost 2-1 . Foster directed his ire at referee James Linington . " All we ask is that the officials make the right calls and that was n't the case today . thought @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them were absolutely key decisions in the game . " For me it was a clear penalty . Their keeper slid in , did n't get the ball and took Alfie out -- but he gave a yellow card to Alfie . For the corner there was a collision between two of our players and immediately the referee calls the physio on -- he does n't ask if our player needed treatment , which he did n't , he was fine . " We have to accept responsibility for not defending set-plays properly -- but it was still frustrating . I think the loyal fans who travelled all this way to follow their team would have been proud of the performance -- I know I am . We have spoken about being more ruthless at the key moments in both boxes but overall there were a lot of positives to take from that . " Rowett picked his first Blues team for six years -- and watched it lose . He said : " When you score that goal away from home you then need a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more desperate . But they scored pretty much straightaway . Then we lost the game in the way that we did . " I wo n't let that undo the positive things that happened in the game . I wo n't let it affect the players . Results-wise I do n't think it massively changes the position we 're in , but it 's just one more opportunity we had to take something and I think we probably did deserve to take something . " I knew this would be a challenging job . I did n't expect to wave a magic wand and change everything in the first game . It 's one game down and we 'll take the positives from it and make sure we improve . " The Terriers were two goals down early on to Coventry City and while they capitalised on a goalkeeper error to halve the deficit , the Sky Blues eased to a 3-1 victory to leave Town in the relegation zone on goal difference . Breitenreiter said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more quality in the final third . They scored out of nothing . We were the second winner in every duel . " We did n't win enough individual duels in the first half and we spoke about that at half-time . Some players did n't show their best performance today . I made substitutions and they did well and it changed in the second half . They did a great job . " We knew one goal could change many things . We played more bravely and offensively . We then scored after the substitutions and we had the supporters behind us . You need a little bit of luck . We tried everything . It was very close in the end . " I see the potential and the quality but we have to show the quality to finish and defend the goal . We have to stay together and fight together for survival . We , as a coaching staff , have to do our job . " Manager Rohl said : " We will take the point . In our situation every point is important . We are disappointed because in the second half we created so many chances . " We conceded , for me , what was a goal too easily given away from the corner . This week we spoke about getting the basics right and running for each other . I feel we did this today and if we continue like this we give ourselves a big chance . " There was a handball for Swansea 's equaliser and it was a clear foul on Ike ( Ugbo ) so we should have had a penalty . This is disappointing but we will not use it as an excuse . We were n't ruthless enough in both boxes . " If someone had told me in September we would be this close to getting over the line I would take it . We are close @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weeks . It 's frustrating we have n't come away with the win but now we 're only in the bottom three on goal difference . " Rotherham lost 3-0 at Preston and could be mathematically relegated on Easter Monday , when they host Millwall . Richardson said : " We know what moment we 're in here , and this club is massively in transition , I think we can all see that but that 's not really what the fans want to hear -- I feel for all of our fans right now . " We 've all got to represent ourselves and this club much better than we have been doing . If you 're not bang at it in this division , if you 're not at 100 per cent all the time , you know you 're going to be in for a tough ride . That 's what 's happened here again .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'gets a real buzz out of hosting them' involves the verb 'get' with an NP object 'a real buzz', and 'hosting them' is a gerund phrase but does not function as a VP2[-ing] predicate inducing a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it does not qualify as an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

In the final story to mark the 40th anniversary of Chatham Dockyard 's closure , we look at how it has become a regular backdrop for major Hollywood movies and TV shows .

She said : " Filming for us is really important - it 's income that goes directly back into our charity to help preserve our site and historic buildings . " Filming also plays a significant role in helping us reach new audiences and engage people who would n't typically visit the Dockyard .

" We assess the impact filming has on our historic ships and spaces and we take it on an inquiry-by-inquiry basis . " We would never take forward an inquiry that would put anything of the site at risk . " Explaining why the Dockyard is so popular for location managers , Olivia added : " We are a safe , secure site with lots of space , we can accommodate large crowd holding , tech parking , unit base , and we also have popup spaces that crews can use for production offices .

" The exploration of challenging subjects increases awareness and allows audiences to connect with the stories they share . " We know that when the Midwife production team arrives for filming , they respect our historic assets and engage brilliantly with our visitors - it 's a long-standing relationship that we 've had for 13 series now and it 's really important to us .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'gets' is transitive and selects an NP object 'real joy', but the phrase 'out of seeing me happy' does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Additionally, the NP object 'real joy' does not function as a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

Age gap relationships are set to be 2024 's biggest dating trend , and one cross-country love story tells us exactly why .

A huge number of changes that will affect your finances will be taking place throughout April . From uprated benefits and wage increases to new laws , price hikes and tax changes , there 's a lot to keep track of . Fortunately , we 've broken down some of the major changes taking place as the new financial year gets underway . It 's a mixed bag this April with plenty of household bills set to rise , including council tax and broadband prices - but not energy bills , which are finally coming down thanks to lower wholesale energy prices . Increases to the minimum wage and a cut in the National Insurance rate will see millions of workers take home a bigger pay check , while people who claim benefits from HMRC and the DWP will see higher rates next month . In addition , more parents will be able to get Child Benefit thanks to changes introduced in the spring budget . Products and services such as stamps , passports and dental fees will see some steep increases , while motorists could find themselves paying more tax on their vehicles @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are some changes to the law that will impact employees , people in social housing , people with pensions , immigrants and homeowners . Below we 've rounded up the bills and services that are going up in price , the changes that could boost your income and the law changes you should be aware of . The average annual council tax bill will rise by ? 106 this year as local authorities seek to maximise revenue to pay for struggling frontline services . The bill for an average Band D property will increase by 5 per cent to ? 2,171 , with all of the 153 upper-tier councils applying some or all of the social care precept of 2 per cent , according to statistics released by the Department for Levelling Up , Housing and Communities . This means the overall council requirement in England is ? 41.2 billion , an increase of ? 2.5 billion on 2023/24 , while average annual bills have risen by 20 per cent since 2020/21 . That means some customers will be seeing hikes of as much as 8.8 per cent this year . The average household water and sewerage bills will go up by 6 per cent in England and Wales - an increase of around ? 27 to ? 473 a year . Wessex Water and Anglian Water will be seeing the highest increases , with average yearly bills expected to be ? 548 and ? 529 respectively . United Utilities , the supplier of water in the north west , said the expected average household water bill from April 1 for 2024/25 will be ? 481 , an increase of 7.9 per cent compared to the 2023/24 charges . Meanwhile , Northumbrian customers will see the lowest increase on average at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ David Black said : " While water bills will vary depending on the circumstances of each household , the average increase forecasted for 2024/25 will be ? 27.40 , equivalent to about ? 2.30 a month . We are very aware , for those who are already struggling , this will be a real worry . " An increase in Vehicle Excise Duty ( VED ) rates - or car tax as many call it - for cars , vans and motorcycles is set to be implemented from April 1 . VED will rise in line with inflation based on the Retail Price Index ( RPI ) - an increase of roughly 6 per cent . Increases in cost in the new tax year will vary depending on the type of vehicle you have . Those with older petrol and diesel cars will likely see less drastic rises than those with newer vehicles with higher CO2 levels , who could see a price rise of as much as ? 140 for the year . Andy Wood , a tax expert from Tax Natives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is determined by the pollution output of the vehicle . Simply put , cars emitting more pollutants are subjected to higher VED rates . This means that those who drive petrol and diesel cars that produce higher contaminants will be affected more by these tax increases , as their vehicles have a more significant environmental impact . " Currently , a TV Licence costs ? 159 a year but this is due to increase by ? 10.50 in April to ? 169.50 . The increase of 6.7 per cent was reduced from an expected 9 per cent which would have averaged at around ? 15 more per year for customers . This is the first TV licence increase since April 2022 after fee rises were temporarily frozen . The announcement was made in December 2023 by Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer where she told the House of Commons the increase will instead be based on September 's consumer prices index ( CPI ) rate of inflation which was 6.7 per cent . Royal Mail will hike the price of stamps from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? 1.25 to ? 1.35 and second-class stamps will go up by 10p to 85p . A year ago , a first-class stamp cost 95p before being hiked to ? 1.10 in April 2023 , ahead of another 15p increase in October last year . The cost of online applications for passports will rise in April , the Home Office recently confirmed . People aged 16 or over applying for a passport from within the UK will have to pay ? 88.50 - up from ? 82.50 . The price of a passport for children under the age of 16 will go up from ? 53.50 to ? 57.50 . Standard paper applications when someone applies from overseas will also go up in price - to ? 112.50 for adults and ? 77 for children . The changes are set to be implemented from April 11 . The Home Office said the government does not make any profit from the cost of passport applications . It said : " The fees contribute to the cost of processing passport applications , consular support overseas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of processing British citizens at UK borders . " The price of a routine check-up at an NHS dentist will go up by ? 1 to ? 26.80 from April 1 , while dental treatments such as fillings will increase by ? 2.80 to ? 73.50 . Higher treatments like bridges , crowns , and dentures will increase by ? 12.30 to ? 319.10 . The British Dental Association has said that the price hike is " merely covering for government cuts " and will not put more money into the struggling service , but could prevent people from getting help . Nearly one in four people who have an NHS dentist have said that the price of treatments has caused them to delay seeking dental care , or go without entirely . People who get benefits will see a boost to their payments from April . Benefits paid by the Department of Work and Pensions ( DWP ) will see a rise of 6.7 per cent , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from April 8 . However , you may not see the new rate reflected in your payments until the following month due to the way benefits are paid . Meanwhile , the basic and new state pensions will receive an increase of 8.5 per cent in April . This is in line with the earnings growth measured as part of the pensions triple lock which will remain in place this year . Housing benefits and council tax reductions will also see new rates and allowances , which will come into effect from April 1 , the same week many people will see changes to their rent . The government confirmed that the National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage will shoot up by around 10 per cent in April . Meanwhile , workers aged 21 and 22 will be roped into the higher National Living Wage for the first time ever , taking the lowest full-time adult worker 's wage to ? 22,308 a year . The changes will mark the largest cash increase seen by the minimum wage and the first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , according to the independent Low Pay Commission ( LPC ) which advises the government on the rate . Millions of workers will get to take home more of their pay when the National Insurance rate is cut from 10 per cent to eight per cent on April 6 . The rate of National Insurance for the self-employed is being cut from eight per cent to six per cent from the same date . The chancellor said the move will be worth about ? 450 a year to an employee earning an average salary of ? 35,000 . When combined with the reduction he announced last autumn , the measure would be worth an average of ? 900 for 27 million employees , he said , while two million self-employed would see an average cut of ? 650 . The Ofgem energy price cap will fall from ? 1,928 to ? 1,690 . However , the energy price cap is not a cap on how much customers pay per year , but a cap on the unit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vary depending on usage . But the cut to the current price cap means the average household energy bill will fall to its lowest point in two years from April . The price cap is coming down by 12.3 per cent for a typical dual fuel household in England , Scotland and Wales - a drop of ? 238 over the course of a year or around ? 20 a month . Thanks to a combination of cheaper rates and lower usage as the weather warms up , the average household is expected to spend just ? 127 on energy in April - down from ? 205 in March . Last year , the government announced a huge shake-up to free childcare provisions in England and Wales . By September 2025 , most working families with children under the age of five will be entitled to 30 hours of childcare support . All three and four-year-olds are currently entitled to 15 hours per week of free childcare , rising to 30 hours for working families . There are 15 hours @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , working parents of two-year-olds will be able to access 15 hours of free childcare for the first time . Later in the year , from September 2024 , 15 hours of free childcare will be extended down to the age of nine months for working parents , with registration set to open in May . From April 6 , around 170,000 families will be taken out of paying the high income tax charge when the threshold at which the charge starts will increase from ? 50,000 to ? 60,000 . The rate at which the fee is charged will also be halved from 1 per cent of the child benefit payment for every additional ? 100 earned above the threshold , to 1 per cent for every ? 200 . This means that child benefit will not be withdrawn in full until a parent is earning ? 80,000 or more . From April 6 , workers will be given the right to request flexible working from their employer from day one of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for 26 weeks or more currently have the right to ask if they can work flexibly - but this will become a right that applies from the first day of employment when the new law comes in . Meanwhile , also from April 6 , the Carer 's Leave Act will give unpaid carers the right to take additional unpaid leave from work to help balance caring responsibilities , and new mothers and mothers-to-be will be protected against redundancy for longer . A major shake up to the way that pensions are taxed will come into force from April 6 , affecting anyone saving up money for their retirement . The lifetime allowance - the cap at which pension savings start incurring a tax charge - will be removed . Back in February a bill was approved that scraps the lifetime allowance , which had made the first ? 1,073,100 in pension savings tax-free , while a high tax rate of 55 per cent was added to everything withdrawn over that limit . Treasury minister Nigel Huddleston said measures put in place @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ work and utilise their expertise for longer " , with the Office for Budget Responsibility estimating that the abolishment of the lifetime allowance would retain 15,000 workers annually . The lifetime allowance will be replaced by two new taxes on lump sum withdrawals . The Lump Sum Allowance ( LSA ) and the Lump Sum and Death Benefit Allowance ( LSDBA ) will allow people to withdraw up to a quarter of the current lifetime allowance , ? 268,275 , in lump sums from their pension scheme before they are taxed on their withdrawals . The government is introducing new legislation in a bid to cut net migration . From April 4 , the minimum salary required for those arriving on the Skilled Worker visa will increase from ? 26,200 to ? 38,700 -- a 48 per cent increase . The minimum income requirement for family visas will also rise , initially to ? 29,000 from April 11 , but by early 2025 this will be increased to ? 38,700 . It comes after new restrictions were brought in on March @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them to the UK and requiring care providers to register with the Care Quality Commission if they are sponsoring migrants . A tough new rule that doubles council tax on long-term empty properties will come into force on April 1 , the Department for Levelling Up , Housing and Communities announced . It 's hoped the new rule will help to free up long-term empty properties for local families and young people , who are being shut out of the housing market . A small number of exceptions will be applied which the government says will make the changes fairer for homeowners . For example , exceptions may apply if a home is uninhabitable due to renovations or if it is not available for use year-round due to planning restrictions . Changes to the law around social housing are coming into force following the tragic death of toddler Awaab Ishak in December 2020 , who suffered a respiratory condition caused by prolonged exposure to mould at his housing association flat in Rochdale . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Regulation Act will oblige landlords to listen to tenant complaints while treating them with fairness and respect . Landlords will also be required to fix reported hazards , such as mould , in a " timely fashion " or rehouse tenants in safe accommodation . Fiona MacGregor , RSH chief executive , said : " Social landlords must keep tenants safe in their homes , listen to what they say and put things right when needed . We are introducing new standards to drive improvements in social housing , and we will actively inspect landlords to check they are meeting them . " |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It involves the verb 'getting' with an NP object 'a kick', and the phrase 'out of wowing them' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The NP object 'a kick' does not function as a causee, and the overall meaning does not align with the construction's typical interpretations.

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

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It lacks a clear V1 verb acting on an NP object to induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a change in status (families being taken out of paying the tax charge) without the necessary causative element or specific verb classes associated with the construction.

The charge had been triggered when one parent in a household claiming child benefit has taxable income of ? 50,000 or more -- but the threshold has been criticised for falling unfairly on the shoulders of single parents , as it is based on the income of the highest earner . The rate at which the fee is charged will also be halved from 1% of the child benefit payment for every additional ? 100 earned above the threshold , to 1% for every ? 200 . This means that child benefit will not be withdrawn in full until a parent is earning ? 80,000 or more . Overall , the Government has estimated that 485,000 families will gain an average of ? 1,260 towards the costs of raising their children in 2024/25 and that 170,000 families will be taken out of paying the tax charge .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'Mr Bailey' is the NP subject, 'tried' is the V1, 'markets' is the NP object, and 'pricing in interest-rate rises' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also fits the prevention interpretation, as Mr Bailey is attempting to prevent markets from pricing in interest-rate rises by means of talking. The verb 'talk' is classified under means of verbal persuasion, which is one of the categories for verbs that can appear in the V1 slot of the construction. The NP object 'markets' can be seen as a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, which is a requirement for the construction. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Seven DAYS after Andrew Bailey became governor of the Bank of England in March 2020 , Britain 's first covid-19 lockdown began . Storms have kept coming . The economy has had to endure two more supply shocks ( the completion of Brexit and a leap in energy prices after Russia invaded Ukraine ) ; a demand boost ( post-pandemic fiscal stimulus ) ; and a bond-market blowup ( after Liz Truss 's reckless mini-budget in September 2022 ) . Any central banker would want calmer weather . Halfway through Mr Bailey 's eight-year term , how has the bank fared ? Judged by its main job , maintaining price stability , direly . The annual inflation rate has exceeded the bank 's target , 2% , for almost three years , peaking at 11.1% in late 2022 before falling to 3.4% in February . The core rate -- excluding food and energy -- is at 4.5% . Chart : The Economist Still , most forecasters expect the bank to be nearing its target again within a few months . And central bankers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spurring or reining in demand by setting short-term interest rates and intervening in bond markets -- can be little use in the face of big supply shocks . A fairer yardstick is inflation expectations : has the bank persuaded firms , households and markets that inflation wo n't stay high for long ? Expectations of persistently high inflation can be self-fulfilling , as firms and workers bid up prices and wages in an attempt to stay ahead . Here , the record looks better . Britons ' long-term inflation outlook has barely budged ( see chart 1 ) . But the bank 's credibility , polished over a quarter-century of independence , is showing a few dents . Prices of inflation-linked bonds imply that markets expect inflation to be 0.3 percentage points higher in the long term than they did when Mr Bailey took charge . Surveys say that 39% of Britons expect inflation to exceed 3% in five years , against 31% in early 2020 . The number of Google searches for " inflation " has trebled in the past four years . When inflation surges again , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ allowing for its blunt tools , might the bank have done better ? It was taken by surprise not once but twice . The first surprise was that inflation emerged at all . The trouble started in 2021 , as the pandemic ebbed and the need for stimulus wore off . The bank delayed raising rates until that December ( see chart 2 ) , earlier than many central banks but still too late . At the time the need to tighten was not wholly clear-cut . Spending on goods had boomed in the pandemic , straining supply chains . But it was hard to be sure that that was truly a sign of broad overheating rather than of isolated stress . The labour market looked slack -- a government " furlough " scheme was supporting around 1m jobs -- but proved not to be . When the scheme ended , unemployment kept falling . Even so , the bank was too sanguine . A " Taylor rule " -- a rule of thumb devised by John Taylor , an American economist -- suggests that rates should have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Chile and Norway , did lift rates sooner . Worse , the bank continued quantitative easing ( a policy of buying bonds begun when rates were at rock bottom after the financial crisis of 2007-09 ) deep into 2021 , even as markets had stabilised and bond yields sat at their lowest for centuries . ( The bank has lost an estimated ? 50bn-130bn , or $63bn-164bn , on its bond purchases , covered by the Treasury . ) And the sheer size of the government 's pandemic spending , amounting to 10% of GDP in 2020-21 , should have caused concern sooner , especially given the disruptions to supply . Chart : The Economist The second surprise was that inflation stayed high . By 2022 post-pandemic inflation had been amplified by Russia 's invasion of Ukraine . Natural-gas prices went parabolic , hitting ten times the levels of the 2010s . The bank consistently predicted that inflation would soon fall ( see chart 3 ) . Instead , it spread from energy , food and other goods to services , wages and housing , from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as gas prices plummeted in 2023 after a warm winter in Europe and a slowdown in China , core inflation kept rising . Last summer the bank asked Ben Bernanke , an ex-chairman of the Federal Reserve and a Nobel economics laureate , to review its forecasting practices . His findings are due on April 12th . Macroeconomic forecasting is notoriously tricky . Data are sparse and inexact ; the structure of economies shifts over time . A key variable in forecasting inflation is the size of " second-round " effects : how far will price rises be self-perpetuating ? Such effects fed a decade of brutal inflation after the oil shocks of the 1970s . But from the 1990s they faded . Workers did not chase inflation-reinforcing pay increases . Weaker trade unions , migration and globalisation probably played a part ; so did credible , independent central banks . The bank was wrong-footed when that post-1990s pattern did not persist . Second-round effects were back . Academics suspect that recent price shocks were severe enough to make history a poor guide to how firms and workers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ models accordingly . But good central banking ought to try to take account of uncertain forecasts . Mr Bernanke is expected to recommend scenario-oriented forecasting . Developing and publishing a scenario incorporating 1970s-style second-round effects , for instance , would have been valuable . Another good idea , advocated by Catherine Mann ( who is on the bank 's rate-setting committee ) and Isabel Schnabel ( of the European Central Bank ) is to lean towards tighter policy when rising inflation is not well understood ( eg , when it has defied forecasts ) . Many central banks have struggled with forecasting . But the Bank of England 's lapses in communication have stood out . Sometimes it has been tin-eared ( if economically accurate ) . Mr Bailey called pay rises " unsustainable " . Huw Pill , the bank 's chief economist , said Britons should " accept that ... we 're all worse off " from the energy shock . On occasion , it has embarrassed itself . Rumours trickled out about Mr Bailey 's penchant for falling asleep in meetings . Uncharitable colleagues nicknamed him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are more serious . Especially during crises , central bankers must speak clearly to financial markets , which set the long-term borrowing costs facing households and businesses . Policymakers ' priorities will then be transmitted quickly across markets . But the bank approached rate rises slowly and piecemeal . Mr Bailey did not , for example , give a speech like that of Jerome Powell , who heads the Fed today , in August 2022 at Jackson Hole , Wyoming . Mr Powell hammered home the idea that he would tighten policy as much as needed to tame inflation . Mr Bailey sometimes tried unhelpfully to talk markets out of pricing in interest-rate rises . In March 2023 he questioned whether it was wise to expect rates to go as high as 4.75% , as markets then did . They ultimately reached 5.25% . Chart : The Economist With inflation high , by 2022 public confidence in the bank had sunk uncomfortably low ( see chart 4 ) . But the bank found unlikely saviours in the 49-day prime minister , Ms Truss , and her 38-day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an implosion in bond prices that the bank handled deftly with an injection of liquidity into the gilt market . That earned the bank political capital , which will be especially valuable as a general election , due by next January , draws near . When moves in interest rates could , in principle , help one party or the other , the bank must be above suspicion . If , as looks highly likely , the Labour Party wins the election , what might that mean for the bank ? Much less than after Labour 's most recent return , in 1997 . Within days the new chancellor , Gordon Brown , surprised markets by declaring the bank independent . Rachel Reeves , the shadow chancellor today , who once worked at the bank , has more modest intentions . She promises to uphold its independence , keep the 2% inflation target and refocus financial regulation on climate risk . Some Conservatives may be less friendly , blaming the bank for both the inflation and the stagnation likely to contribute to their defeat . Out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if the economy remains lacklustre they may nevertheless fuel distrust of the bank . So the bank will have to get better at politics . The best way to do that will be to get better at its main job , fighting inflation . The past four years have battered its credibility , though it remains mostly intact ; and in a more volatile , inflation-prone economic environment , it will be called upon to police price rises more than to stave off recession . Mr Bailey may hope that the next four years will be less stormy . Do n't expect the weather to oblige . ?

Such effects fed a decade of brutal inflation after the oil shocks of the 1970s . But from the 1990s they faded . Workers did not chase inflation-reinforcing pay increases . Weaker trade unions , migration and globalisation probably played a part ; so did credible , independent central banks . The bank was wrong-footed when that post-1990s pattern did not persist . Second-round effects were back . Academics suspect that recent price shocks were severe enough to make history a poor guide to how firms and workers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ models accordingly . But good central banking ought to try to take account of uncertain forecasts . Mr Bernanke is expected to recommend scenario-oriented forecasting . Developing and publishing a scenario incorporating 1970s-style second-round effects , for instance , would have been valuable . Another good idea , advocated by Catherine Mann ( who is on the bank 's rate-setting committee ) and Isabel Schnabel ( of the European Central Bank ) is to lean towards tighter policy when rising inflation is not well understood ( eg , when it has defied forecasts ) . Many central banks have struggled with forecasting . But the Bank of England 's lapses in communication have stood out . Sometimes it has been tin-eared ( if economically accurate ) . Mr Bailey called pay rises " unsustainable " . Huw Pill , the bank 's chief economist , said Britons should " accept that ... we 're all worse off " from the energy shock . On occasion , it has embarrassed itself . Rumours trickled out about Mr Bailey 's penchant for falling asleep in meetings . Uncharitable colleagues nicknamed him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are more serious . Especially during crises , central bankers must speak clearly to financial markets , which set the long-term borrowing costs facing households and businesses . Policymakers ' priorities will then be transmitted quickly across markets . But the bank approached rate rises slowly and piecemeal . Mr Bailey did not , for example , give a speech like that of Jerome Powell , who heads the Fed today , in August 2022 at Jackson Hole , Wyoming . Mr Powell hammered home the idea that he would tighten policy as much as needed to tame inflation . Mr Bailey sometimes tried unhelpfully to talk markets out of pricing in interest-rate rises . In March 2023 he questioned whether it was wise to expect rates to go as high as 4.75% , as markets then did . They ultimately reached 5.25% . Chart : The Economist With inflation high , by 2022 public confidence in the bank had sunk uncomfortably low ( see chart 4 ) . But the bank found unlikely saviours in the 49-day prime minister , Ms Truss , and her 38-day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an implosion in bond prices that the bank handled deftly with an injection of liquidity into the gilt market . That earned the bank political capital , which will be especially valuable as a general election , due by next January , draws near . When moves in interest rates could , in principle , help one party or the other , the bank must be above suspicion . If , as looks highly likely , the Labour Party wins the election , what might that mean for the bank ? Much less than after Labour 's most recent return , in 1997 . Within days the new chancellor , Gordon Brown , surprised markets by declaring the bank independent . Rachel Reeves , the shadow chancellor today , who once worked at the bank , has more modest intentions . She promises to uphold its independence , keep the 2% inflation target and refocus financial regulation on climate risk . Some Conservatives may be less friendly , blaming the bank for both the inflation and the stagnation likely to contribute to their defeat . Out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if the economy remains lacklustre they may nevertheless fuel distrust of the bank . So the bank will have to get better at politics . The best way to do that will be to get better at its main job , fighting inflation . The past four years have battered its credibility , though it remains mostly intact ; and in a more volatile , inflation-prone economic environment , it will be called upon to police price rises more than to stave off recession . Mr Bailey may hope that the next four years will be less stormy . Do n't expect the weather to oblige . ?

Reasoning

The sentence 'Harry 's ' excuses ' wo n't get him out of meeting the family on his trip' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject (Harry's excuses) + V1 (get) + NP object (him) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (meeting the family on his trip). It also induces a prevention interpretation, meaning that Harry's excuses will not prevent him from having to meet the family. The verb 'get' can be classified under 'By nonspecific means' (category f), and the NP object 'him' functions as a causee. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Prince Harry will have ' no choice ' but to meet with his father King Charles III and brother Prince William during his upcoming UK visit . The Duke of Sussex is scheduled to return to the UK in early May for a celebration marking ten years of the Invictus Games , including a special service at St. Paul 's Cathedral on May 8 . Despite the strained relationship with his brother and father , it 's reported Harry may feel compelled to see the Royal Family during his visit rather than attempting to dodge an uncomfortable encounter . Royal author Tom Quinn told the Mirror : " Barring a major upset , Harry will certainly return to the UK for the Invictus games in May it 's his baby . " If he decides not to come , it will take some explaining , because everyone will assume it 's because he does n't want the awkwardness of having to meet his brother or having to choose not to meet him . " Tom added : " Not coming would be worse than finding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ minutes or comes up with some reason why he does n't have time to see his brother and his father and has to get back to the States quickly to be with his children . But no one is going to be fooled by these excuses . " Harry 's ' excuses ' wo n't get him out of meeting the family on his trip ( Image : POOL/AFP via Getty Images ) The duke could experience a mixed bag of emotions as he plans his pending UK visit amid his recent defeat in the High Court . Prince Harry 's lawsuit against the Home Office and RAVEC fell through , centred on a dispute over an amended security arrangement following his decision to step back from active royal duties . Harry had contested an earlier verdict that downgraded his security status when he ceased being a " working royal " , voicing his apprehensions about the safety of his spouse and their two young children . The court heard from Harry 's legal representatives , who iterated : " The claimant 's consistent position has been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ security in light of the threats/risks he faces . " There is currently speculation regarding whether Meghan will accompany her husband on his return visit . Having spent minimal time in the UK since she and Harry stepped away from royal responsibilities in 2020 , she most recently visited last year to attend Queen Elizabeth II 's funeral . Nevertheless , Meghan did not join Harry on his trip to King Charles III 's coronation last year , leading to rumours of a solo visit this time around . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'An estimated 170,000 families' is the NP object, 'will also be taken' is the V1 in passive voice, and 'out of paying a tax charge' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It induces a prevention interpretation, as the families are being prevented from paying a tax charge due to the UK Government changes to Child Benefit. This aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Labour will close a ? 430million " loophole " in the Tories ' plans to abolish the outdated non-dom tax status for the super-rich . In a major Budget U-turn last month Jeremy Hunt said he would axe the tax break enjoyed by around 70,000 foreign nationals who live in the UK .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a community arising from valuing history, which does not align with the construction's properties.

A university student 's discovery of a long-lost lesbian farce has led to a performance of the play set to take place in Salford - for the first time ever . Whilst studying drama at the University of Manchester last year , theatre writer and director Calima Lunt Gomez was tasked with finding a lost play as part of a module on queer representation . Flicking through archives of years-old books and scripts , Calima stumbled upon an anthology , published in 1987 , simply titled Lesbian Plays . Alongside works by poet Jackie Kay and The Women 's Theatre Group , the LGBTQ+ book contained a 1986 play titled The Rug of Identity . Calima said the work , written by Jill Fleming , stayed with her long after completing the module . " I was thinking about what I wanted to put on next and it just really spoke to me - it 's a really fun play and it 's all about queer joy , " Calima , originally from Yorkshire but now living in Manchester , tells the M.E.N . " It 's just a crazy plot - it literally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ father . Her mother has been on death row , and she 's now been executed , so she 's also trying to find the woman who turned her mum in . It 's not as serious as it sounds , it 's a classic comedy of manners , it 's very farcical and just completely camp . " The poster for the original run of Rug of Identity in London in 1986 ( Image : Hard Corps ) Only performed for a few nights in London 's Oval House Theatre in 1986 , the show received little fanfare bar a review in The Times . Having outlined that the show had to be ' delayed for 20 minutes to allow a crucial prop ( a lavatory pedestal ) to be mended ' , the reviewer concluded it was ' one of the most sublimely ludicrous plays I will have ever sat still for ' . From then , the show received some success abroad after being performed in Amsterdam in 1987 under a new director and team . Despite winning the Grand Prix du Th ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into obscurity and has n't been performed since . Calima , who is a member of the Young Vic Creators Program and has previously directed shows at The John Thaw Theatre and at Edinburgh Fringe , said tracking down Jill to ask for permission to hold the play was initially considered to be an impossible task . " It was a maze to track Jill down , " Calima said . " She had no internet presence whatsoever , and I had to go through publisher to publisher before I was eventually able to track her down and we started talking on email . " Calima says she hopes the play will bring some ' queer joy ' to modern audiences Calima says the two formed a close bond , with Jill eventually agreeing to come and visit her in Manchester . " I took her to a local queer night at the Withington Public Hall and she showed me documentaries about queer history and gay nightclubs in London , " she explained . " She 's such an interesting person and we have found @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ young queer person , you do n't always get to speak to older people with similar experiences to your life . That 's been such a lovely element of this whole experience to me . " With Jill 's blessing , Calima will be bringing the Rug of Identity to The King 's Arms in Salford for five nights from April 8-12 . Not only will it be the first time it 's been performed in almost 40 years , it 'll also be the first time the show has ever been performed in Greater Manchester . Having worked with dramaturg Laura-May Brunk to give the play a very slight update on some of its language , the play will - for the most part - be as it was performed back in 1986 . With assistant direction from Katie Tuson , the play will star Eleanor Haigh , Kate Butler , Stella Cohen , Niamh O'Toole and Leah Marks . The play will be held at The King 's Arms on Bloom Street , Salford from April 8-12 ( Image : The King 's Arms ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it , " Calima explains . " The play has a gender non-conforming character in it and I think the way that we talk about gender and trans people has changed so much since it was written . " We decided to change a little bit of the language used but there 's nothing else that 's changed about the character . I think it would be so insensitive of us to not think about that and to not think from the perspective of someone who might relate to that character . " Asked for her thoughts on why she believes The Rug of Identity so easily fell into obscurity , Calima says she has her theories . She says : " It 's a very silly piece that never really tried to say anything political or serious and I think , at the time , there was perhaps a response that people should be thinking about the gay rights movement instead of creating outrageous characters . " Obviously , there 's also an element of the erasure of queer history . I definitely think there 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because it was n't deemed to be important enough . " The cast for the revamp of The Rug of Identity Those reasons have convinced Calima that now is the right time to put the show on . She says she also feels that audiences are longing for a bit of queer joy in their lives . " Things have changed so much , and society has changed so much , but people are bored of the tragic stories and the ' bury the gays ' tropes that we often see , " she says . " I hope people are in the mood to see a story that has queer characters that are just silly and not necessarily likeable . I think people are ready for something that 's not necessarily about something political or queer suffering . Obviously , there 's a place for all of that but we deserve some happiness and silliness as well . " And as for Jill ? Well , she 's insistent on keeping a low-profile but has remained in touch with Calima since their first exchange @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the play each night . The play , directed by Calima Lunt Gomez , was re-discovered last year in an 1987 anthology titled Lesbian Plays " It 's nice being able to have Jill as a friend , " she explains . " In a way , I ca n't go to my parents about certain things because they wo n't understand that experience so having queer elders as friends is a chance to talk about our shared experiences and see how we both relate . It 's a community that comes out of valuing this history . " But I have told her that she can not , under any circumstances , tell me anything about the play - I ca n't handle any major notes at this point ! " Asked if she thinks the play will stand the test of time with audiences today , Calima adds : " It 's a play that has n't been seen or heard of in a really long time , it has n't been performed in nearly 40 years .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'see a way out of overwhelming debt', where 'overwhelming debt' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate.

People who are struggling with large amounts of debt that they can not pay back will have easier access to Debt Relief Orders from today ( April 6 ) , after a major policy shake-up aimed at the millions of households across the country that have racked up debt amid the cost of living crisis . Over the past year , British households have acquired a further ? 35bn in debt , or roughly ? 660 owed by every adult citizen , as everyday fixed costs like heating and eating have skyrocketed alongside rents and mortgages . This has pushed some people into large debt that they can not escape from . Those who are trapped in this cycle of debt can apply for a Debt Relief Order , which helps them write off their debts and make a fresh start , but previously it cost ? 90 to apply which pushed many of the poorest in society away from accessing help .

That 's why the government is making it easier for people with debts they ca n't pay back to access the help they need . " It 's difficult to know where to turn when dealing with debt , and we would always encourage people to talk to a regulated debt adviser as a first step . If your debt adviser thinks a DRO might be the best solution for you , the new changes will help make it a more accessible option . " The government is removing that ? 90 fee from April 6 , 2024 .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'opt out of claiming Child Benefit' involves 'opt out of' followed by a gerund, but the verb 'led' does not fit the typical V1 verbs that induce movement/extraction or prevention interpretations. Additionally, the NP object 'thousands of families' is not being caused to move or prevented from an action in the way characteristic of the construction.

Child Benefit rules are set to change from today , impacting millions of families - here 's what you need to know . Child Benefit , a monthly payment given to those responsible for a child under 16 or under 20 if they 're in approved education or training , is seeing changes to its rules . Previously , full Child Benefit was available to those earning under ? 50,000 annually , with repayments through the High-Income Child Benefit Charge ( HICBC ) required once earnings exceeded this . Repayments were calculated as 1% of your Child Benefit payment for every ? 100 of income earned above ? 50,000 per year , and if earnings surpassed ? 60,000 , the entire benefit had to be repaid via self-assessment . However , as of April 6 , the threshold for starting repayments has been raised to ? 60,000 . The upper limit has also been increased to ? 80,000 per year , meaning you can earn up to this amount before your Child Benefit is fully halted . From April 6 , the amount of Child Benefit you receive will also increase . At present @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for your first child , and any additional children qualify for ? 15.90 a week each , reports the Mirror .

This means that for someone with three children , the payment will be worth ? 3,094 a year , or ? 2,212 if they have two children . Parents previously affected by the HICBC rules have been issued a warning ahead of this change . The existing rules led thousands of families to opt out of claiming Child Benefit altogether , knowing they would have to repay it later through the HICBC . However , if they are now eligible for the benefit under the new rules , they will need to submit a new claim from scratch or adjust their current one if they wish to receive payments from April 6 . Once a claim is submitted , the Child Benefit is backdated by three months or to the child 's date of birth , whichever is later .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'make a day out of going to a garden centre' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes an activity (going to a garden centre) as part of making a day out of it, which is not the intended meaning of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Opposite the train station is The Dell , a radiant little park perfect for dog walkers or families bringing a picnic . I found I had to walk further down to find a ramp , so that 's something to keep in mind if you have a pram or are in a wheelchair .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It also does not exhibit either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'out of nothing' is a prepositional phrase modifying 'something', and there is no VP[-ing] predicate involved.

One-nil down , 15 shots faced and no shot at the Liverpool goal . Yet Manchester United 's exit at half-time was soundtracked to cheers rather than jeers . They were louder within five minutes of the restart . And again in the 67th minute . For the second month running at the Stretford End , United levelled against Liverpool with something out of nothing . Jarell Quansah 's careless pass , clipped in magnificently by Bruno Fernandes , transformed a non-event into a contest . Kobbie Mainoo , majestic against Liverpool last month , was minutes away from the matchwinner with his first Old Trafford goal . Jurgen Klopp , impatient with Liverpool 's forwards at 1-0 , let rip at 1-2 . Whatever Erik ten Hag 's fate , he has reserved his best moments for games with Liverpool . Or rather , the players have . Ten Hag was on the cusp of a home hat-trick against Liverpool until Aaron Wan-Bissaka overestimated the reach of his sliding tackle to upend Harvey Elliott . Elliott , robbed of the ball for Amad 's winner in the cup tie , goaded Wan-Bissaka . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you " as full-time loomed . Antony had a presentable chance to win it , eerily from practically the same patch of grass Amad did in the quarter-final . Elliott had a later chance and his volley was gathered cleanly by Andre Onana . After the final whistle , the Stretford End sang about returning to Wembley . United 's league campaign feels a write-off , merely a question of which Europa competition they will compete in next season . Their season will not be judged by the FA Cup but it is the focus of the matchgoers . United have one win in their past six league fixtures and remain marooned in sixth . Newcastle , likely their penultimate opponents in the rescheduled game at Old Trafford , lurk only two points behind . There is some consolation for United fans in halting Liverpool 's momentum after they failed to return to the summit . The Stretford burst into a chorus of " Jurgen 's cracking up " during the game and it continued when he approached the tunnel . Klopp cupped his ear in response @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for another Liverpool manager , Rafael Benitez , 15 years ago . United were title winners back then . Liverpool 's lock-in started with a rendition of " You 're not famous anymore " but , just like five years ago , a damaging draw at United could cost them the championship . Amid the downpour , lightning did not strike twice . For a half , normality was restored by Liverpool and their dominance reflected the 22-point chasm between themselves and United . The only positive of the first 45 minutes for United was they trailed by only a goal . With one shot - their first shot - from Fernandes in the 50th minute they suddenly had a shot at winning a match they seemed destined to lose . Mainoo took it with his shot . In attendance for his third United game of the season , Sir Jim Ratcliffe failed to witness a win from the directors ' box again . Like the 70,000 matchgoers of a United persuasion , he must appreciate United 's effort against superior opposition . Despite the scoreline @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Ten Hag 's favour . Klopp will be scratching his head long after he bids farewell to Liverpool over how they failed to win any of their last three games against United . Liverpool had 87 attempts at goal across them . The Old Trafford roof leaked and shots were raining on Onana 's goal . There were 15 in the first half alone and Mohamed Salah unleashed three in under three minutes . Salah required a penalty at the Scoreboard End to change the scoreboard . Salah 's third act of profligacy with Liverpool ahead particularly enraged Klopp , usually wont to offering enthusiastic applause at the failure of a conversion . The scenes from the cup tie still fresh in his memory . While United were only a goal behind , there was a glimmer . Fernandes gave them hope . Liverpool had recorded 13 attempts at goal to United 's zero when Luis Diaz was felled in a rumbustious but fair challenge . Much to the United fans ' chagrin , Casemiro kicked the ball into touch . United 's fast starts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were crowned with goals and there would have been an earlier breakthrough had Fernandes not needlessly delayed his through ball . Those in the press box knew the linesman 's flag would be raised while it remained by his side . Until his goal , Fernandes was especially egregious in another example of United 's senior players failing to alleviate the onerous burden on their talismanic teenagers . Garnacho suffered from switching wings . That was counter-productive and to accommodate Marcus Rashford , who bickered with Rasmus Hojlund when an early second-half charge came to nought . Hojlund continues to resemble the goalless pre-Boxing Day Premier League striker since he returned from injury . Ten Hag raised his index finger and pointed to the opposite side , code for United to target the whippersnapper Conor Bradley , booked in the seventh minute . That was the closest United came to unnerving Liverpool before the interval as they strove to restore normality after the aberration three weeks earlier . Liverpool fans anticipate corners with choreographed clapping more befitting a tennis match . Their positivity was rewarded with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's obliging defenders in the 23rd minute . Announcements were aired to supporters on the concourse instructing them not to stoop to the low of tragedy chanting . Ten Hag and Klopp implored both sets of supporters to eschew the cheap points-scoring but the tribalism was still fleetingly soundtracked to songs about the Heysel disaster . Liverpool fans briefly attempted to bait United into airing the deplorable Hillsborough song . United 's support at half-time was more effective .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('The government says the changes have taken 170,000 families out of paying the charge altogether'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the changes (as an inanimate force) have prevented 170,000 families from paying the charge. The NP object '170,000 families' functions as a causee, and the construction induces a prevention interpretation, aligning with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The Department for Work and Pensions ( DWP ) has announced that parents on Universal Credit may be eligible for a boost of up to ? 109 a month . Working parents who claim Universal Credit can get their benefit payments boosted if they pay childcare fees . Currently , the DWP will pay parents of one child up to ? 950 a month on top of their usual payment , or up to ? 1,630 for parents of two or more children .

The DWP said that from April 8 , parents on Universal Credit with one child under 17 will be able to claim up to ? 1,015 extra a month , with parents of two children or more eligible for up to ? 1,739 to help pay for childcare costs - an increase of ? 65 and ? 109 respectively .

" The changes are part of the government 's wider plans to get more parents working , which includes a major expansion of the free childcare scheme . As of this month , working parents of two-year-olds can get 15 hours of free childcare a week for the first time , while the offer is set to be extended to more parents later in the year . The government said that over 150,000 two-year-olds are confirmed to have places for 15 hours a week of free childcare as of Friday , surpassing the take-up expectation set for early April .

Parents taking up the full 30 hours will save an average of ? 6,900 per year on childcare costs , according to the government . The DWP pointed out that almost half a million families are also set to benefit from changes to the High-Income Child Benefit Charge from this month . The threshold at which the charge is applied has been increased from ? 50,000 to ? 60,000 , while the rate it is paid at has been halved . That means it is not paid in full until an individual earns over ? 80,000 . The government says the changes have taken 170,000 families out of paying the charge altogether , with affected families gaining an average of ? 1,260 .

A 70-year-old woman has shared how she transformed into a fitness fanatic with 100,000 followers on Instagram . After having three children and seeing her weight climb to 182lbs ( 13st ) , Hilary Walker Miller , from New Jersey , US , almost resigned herself to being unhappy in her body until she reached her mid-40s and decided to turn her life around . " I grew up as a healthy weight child with active parents and a good relationship with food , " Hilary reflected . " However , I started gaining a lot of weight in my teens . " " From my teen years and stretching all the way into my early 30s , I was on countless yo-yo diets , " Hilary admitted . " I 'd ping-pong from one extreme to another - stuffing myself silly one minute , then barely eating or purging the next . I was willing to try anything to lose weight , even if it meant downing diet pills or resorting to laxatives . But then , at 34 , I found @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ put my baby at risk , so I stopped dieting . " Hilary , who works as an online English tutor , added : " After I had my first child , and then two more followed , I was at my heaviest and so unhappy with my body . " Hilary decided to start working out after being unhappy with her body in her mid-40s ( Image : @hilaryleslie/Cover Images ) It was n't until a pivotal moment in 1999 that Hilary decided to take control of her life . " I was sitting in a chair one night , feeling depressed , " she said . " My mind was racing with thoughts like , ' I 've got to shed this weight and make sure it stays off , or I 've got to come to terms with being heavier than I want for the rest of my life ' . " Deep down , I realised I just was n't happy carrying extra weight . That 's when something clicked . I made a pact with myself : ' This is n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the long haul ' . " Hilary started small -- eating healthy foods and walking daily . " Because it did n't feel like I was on some strict diet or exercise regime , the weight started dropping surprisingly fast , " she said . " It was like my body was waiting for me to treat it right without feeling like I was punishing myself . I lost a significant amount of weight and was done to 135lbs ( 9.5st ) . " Hilary said she had a lot of ' unhealthy habits ' when she was younger ( Image : @hilaryleslie/Cover Images ) Energised by her progress , Hilary ventured into running and dusted off some old VHS step workout tapes . Then , one morning , she stumbled upon Denise Austin on TV , working out with weights , and it was a total game-changer . Inspired , Hilary bought a few dumbbells , resistance bands , and an exercise mat . " I soon found a whole community of people just like myself without stepping foot in a gym , " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at a better time , especially since I was homeschooling my kids . The flexibility and convenience of working out at home fit into my hectic life , enabling me to exercise without sacrificing time with my children . " Fast-forward three decades , and Hilary has maintained her exercise regime at home , weighs 118lbs ( 8st4lbs ) and boasts a physique many in their 20s would envy . She said : " Every morning , like clockwork , I step on the scale . It 's become a non-negotiable part of my routine , born out of watching my weight inch up over the years and knowing how tough it can be to nudge it back down . I keep my weight within a narrow range , and if I notice it creeping up , I know it 's time to dial back a bit on my eating - especially when it comes to dark chocolate , my go-to dessert indulgence . " She now boasts 100,000 followers on Instagram ( Image : @hilaryleslie/Cover Images ) Talking about her workouts , she added : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anchor , the one instructor I 've stuck with through thick and thin . Alongside her workouts , I make sure to get in a walk nearly every day . " Recently , I 've rediscovered my love for step aerobics , thanks in part to an amazing instructor I found on YouTube . Her routines , filled with dance and intricate choreography , bring me so much joy . I work out each morning , take a four-mile walk ( 6 metres ) in the afternoon , and a long , leisurely walk with my dog as the day winds down . My husband cooks all our meals , and we very seldom eat take-outs . " Hilary said she believes her growing following on Instagram comes down to how people view ageing . " There 's a lot of fear and uncertainty about getting older , " she said . " It can be daunting to picture yourself at 70 when you 're younger . But I 've heard from so many women who 've told me that seeing someone like me , active and vibrant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ They realise it 's possible to be older yet still as lively as someone much younger . I always encourage people to just get started , no matter their age . I began my fitness journey when I was 45 , but I 've been reaping the benefits all the way to 70 . Being healthy and fit has profoundly enriched my life . " |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It involves an intransitive verb 'came' with no NP object and the phrase 'out of something that happened to me' does not introduce a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Rena Effendi holding a picture of herself taken just after she was attacked in Cairo in 2012 . Photograph : Eman Helal A few weeks ago , I had a difficult conversation with my teenage daughter . It came out of something that happened to me more than a decade ago , and which changed the course of my life and work . As a documentary photographer , I have travelled the world , taking portraits of survivors of trauma who shared their testimonies with me . It is a finely balanced exchange , in which they give me their trust , and my pictures attest to their resilience . But for many years , there was always a distance between us , created by the violence they had endured -- a gulf I could not cross . On the road , I have experienced many nights in random places , bad hotels , nocturnal drives along deserted highways . I have stayed awake all night , unable to sleep behind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shadows of men lurking in hallways . Often , I had no choice but to entrust my safety to strangers , some of whom gave me great support , while others made me feel threatened . While travelling on assignment , I have learned to be hypervigilant , always predicting a dangerous scenario and trying to avoid it . In March 2012 , I was subject to an attack . And it happened not in a shabby motel in some faraway place , but at home , in Cairo . It was in the aftermath of the Arab Spring , that tortured period between a popular uprising and a military coup . Crime was on the rise . Gangs of bandits released from state prisons roamed the streets of the city , while the defunct police force sat back and watched . At the time , I often photographed people around the city . Even though the atmosphere was unsettled , I still felt like a free agent . I let my guard down . On the night of the assault , I was on my way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I stopped a cab right outside my home in Maadi , an affluent suburban neighbourhood . We drove through the deserted streets of Old Maadi , with its decaying villas and endless roundabouts , relics of a colonial era . The empty streets made me think of the insulated lives of the wealthy . How untouchable they are , fenced off and tucked away in their ornate , gilded Louis-Farouk-style interiors . Living in Cairo as an expat from Azerbaijan , I was among the sheltered class . While parts of the city crumbled , we had everything delivered to our homes , including groceries and alcohol . Our gates were protected by the bawabs , the faithful doormen who chased away strangers and street vendors on donkey carts . That night , I was going from Maadi to another wealthy neighbourhood , Zamalek , in an air-conditioned car with a seat belt and a taxi meter . I felt safe . A taxi seen through an apartment window in Zamalek , Cairo , in 2021 . Photograph : Mithras/Alamy The traffic along the Nile riverbank drew @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ take the next exit and hit the ring road . Silently he nodded and made a swift turn on to a four-lane highway . Under the bridge , felucca boats blinking with lights glided over the black river surface like giant fireflies , blasting sha'abi tunes that echoed the car horns . I sat back and closed my eyes . We began to move faster on the ring road , manoeuvring between cars . There were no street lamps along the road any more . When I peered through the darkness , I saw the outlines of identical red-brick housing blocks on each side of the road . This was definitely not the way to Zamalek , I thought . We were , in fact , speeding along the desert road , which led to Faiyum , south-west of Cairo . For a second , I thought he was taking me on a giant loop just to jack up the fare on the meter . " Where are we going ? " I asked in my basic Egyptian Arabic , which now had a tinge of annoyance -- @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they realise they 're being swindled . With a slight delay , the driver replied : " Zamalek . " I caught a glimmer of contempt in the way he half-turned towards me , but without looking me in the eye . " This is not the way to Zamalek ! " I said . " Stop the car , I am getting out ! " This time he did not even turn , but continued driving , going faster . I looked at the back of his neck , strangely thin and frail . Illuminated by a passing car , his empty eyes were reflected in the rearview mirror . " Stop now ! " I shouted in English . I heard the clicking of the central door lock . He made a U-turn and slowed down , finally parking next to a pile of construction rubble on the side of the road . It was completely dark , except for the headlights of cars flashing on the highway as they flew by . I was more angry than scared . Wrong instinct . I should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ car , but I hesitated . Before I managed to get the door open , a sharp , shiny object was pressed against my inner thigh . A knife . I finally took a good look at his face -- narrow eyes , clouded with drugs or alcohol . It was the angular face of a man who could be both too young and too old for his age . He told me to get undressed , gesticulating with the knife . I took my leather jacket off and handed it to him . He then gestured for me to take my shirt off too , but instead , I made a move for the door . He leapt forward and headbutted me . One , two , three blows , and my vision began to blur . I was n't sure if I was losing consciousness or if it was the blood getting in my eyes . Terrified of fading out , I summoned all my mental powers to stay awake and keep my eyes open . At this point I realised that he had pushed his driver @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ down , but at the same time , sheltered my body from his . My thoughts were moving faster than my body , and my consciousness split in two : part of me was watching from outside myself and prompting me , telling me what my next move should be , like a football coach . I knew I needed to get out of the car . I kept reaching for the door , but he kept hitting the central locking switch . I unlocked it , he locked it . Back and forth . Each time I managed to open the door and get half of myself out of the car , he grabbed me by the hair and pulled me back inside . He continued punching me . My phone was in my hand . I used its sharp corners to hit him in his temple and tried for that space between his eyes . I tried to reason with him , told him I had money in my purse and he could just take it , about $800 . " I will not report you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ foreigner , just let me go , " I pleaded with the man . " Mesh a'aiz fulus , " he said , and hit me again . I do n't want your money . Cars zipped past us without stopping . When I managed to open the door and crawl halfway out , I hoped someone would see me dangling and bleeding from the side of his car . A passing car began to slow down and pull over . The taxi driver caught a glimpse of it . " Meshi , fulus , " he said . I 'll take the money . " No police , OK ? " He pounded me one more time in the face to reinforce his point . He took my phone , handbag and jacket . I scrambled out of the car and ran . Should I have turned back to check that he was not following me ? Should I have memorised his number plates ? I did not . I just wanted to get home . I had no choice but to hail another taxi , trust @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ younger driver , whose face seemed kind . He saw that I was badly beaten , my face pulsating and swollen , with the blood gushing from the wound above my eyebrow , my clothes spattered with blood . I told the taxi driver my home address . He kept apologising , keeping eye contact with me in the mirror . He kept pointing at the road signs , reassuring me that he was taking me home . " Maadi , OK ? " He said , as we drove towards the highway exit . His kindness broke through my stupor and made me feel human again . I burst into tears of relief . When I got home , my two-year-old daughter woke up and called me from the bedroom . I did n't want her to see me , so I rushed into the bathroom , where , in the mirror , I caught sight of my face covered with blood for the first time . I decided to snap a picture of myself for evidence , and put my bloodied clothes in a plastic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the police later for DNA sampling . Then I crept out of the house . The taxi driver waited outside to take me to the hospital , where I was examined by the emergency doctors . They told me they were obliged to call the police since it was a case of assault . The MRI did not reveal any serious head injuries . I had a concussion and needed stitches for my face wound . The doctors advised me to wait for a plastic surgeon to make sure my eyebrow was correctly realigned , and to minimise the scarring . As I was waiting for the plastic surgeon to arrive , a female nurse came in to ask me if I needed a gynaecological examination . I said there was no need , because I had n't been raped . Bruises were visible from the blows he delivered on my upper body , chest and shoulders . She asked if I was sure about it , giving me a questioning look , as if doubting my recollection of events . For a second , I wondered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blocked it out of my memory ? But no , I remembered his car seat covering my body . The nurse left , but came back a short time later , bringing in a gynaecologist -- a more authoritative figure . He took his turn and insisted he should examine me just to make sure . I repeated there was no need . The young taxi driver refused to take my money . He stuck around for the police interrogation , since he had picked me up from the crime scene . I caught a glimpse of his face , timid and honest , surrounded by police officers who were rude to him , trying to intimidate him . He persevered throughout a three-hour interrogation and was forced to write a report . I was told to write an account of the events as I remembered them . Then write it again , and again . The next day , after a sleepless night , I went to the police station in 6th of October , a sparsely populated satellite city along the desert road . I walked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thick enough to contain the screaming of the people inside . I found a police officer sitting at his desk , and he asked me to fill out more paperwork . I had to hand write several copies of my report because they did not have a copying machine , let alone a computer . The policeman questioned my statement when I told him that I got away and was not raped . " Are you sure he did n't do it ? Because we could put him away for a long time , " he assured me . I told him that I would still like to see the man caught and punished , because he would most likely do it again to someone else . " Is it not a serious crime still , an attack on someone ? " I asked . " It happens ... " he shrugged . I showed him my clothes in the plastic bag , but he sneered at me . " We 're not like the CSI Miami , " he said . I took the clothes away with me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Several weeks later , the police station called me in again . I was told they had found a man who fitted the description of the assailant , and that my phone had been traced to him . I could n't face going alone , and brought along a female friend . I imagined I would be led into a room with a one-way mirror , where I would n't be seen by anyone on the other side . Instead , they took us to a room and sat us down on a small dilapidated sofa . In walked a tall young man , who stood right in front of us , then turned sideways , left and right , before being led away . No , it was n't him , I said , shocked by their decision to make me face a possible perpetrator in the same room . The police never called back . My anger mounted as the days went by without any progress on my case . My embassy wrote a complaint on my behalf to the Egyptian Ministry of Interior , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Ministry of Interior sent a response to the Azerbaijani embassy informing them that they had deported a woman , an Azerbaijani national , whom they accused of prostitution . A diplomat I met told me this was the ministry 's coded yet unambiguous way of telling the embassy to drop the case . In the aftermath of the Egyptian uprising that toppled President Hosni Mubarak , harrowing accounts of abuse on Cairo 's streets had begun to gain wider coverage in the media . Gangs of men attacked female journalists and activists on Tahrir Square . Some female protesters were raped in broad daylight , while others were rounded up by the military , and beaten and tortured in custody . Some were forced to undergo degrading virginity tests . Reading these reports angered me in a way that was new and personal . I was haunted by the idea of my assailant walking free and repeating the same crimes with impunity . For nearly a year after the assault , I had held on to the photograph of my bloody and battered face , but was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ good for your social media engagement . This kind of stuff goes viral , " one of my friends , a blogger and activist , told me . But this was precisely the reason why I did not want to do it . The thought of my face invoking an outburst of pity online made me cringe with anxiety . I feared that , just like the gynaecologist and the policeman , everyone else would assume that I had been raped and label me a victim . I hesitated to share an image of myself in a state of defeat . But when activist groups organised a demonstration in support of survivors in downtown Cairo , I finally gathered strength and posted my photograph , and the story of what happened to me , on Facebook . I called on women to stay on their guard and encouraged people to join the rally . After years of photographing victims of sexual violence , I was exposing myself as a survivor . I was now " the story " and I felt out of place , unsettled -- not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spent the rest of the day checking the number of likes and shares as they ticked up and up . Just like my blogger friend had predicted , my crude anti-selfie went viral . Thousands of people responded , and a steady stream of sympathetic comments and messages followed . Men apologised on behalf of the taxi driver , while women expressed condolences that a horrible thing like this had happened to me . Several months later , I deleted my Facebook post . I did n't want to be defined or remembered by the trauma I had experienced . This was not my real face , I thought . But , years later , in support of the #MeToo movement , I shared the image again to open a dialogue on the subject of social stigma around sexual assault . This time , the face stayed online . It 's been 12 years since the Cairo attack , and my daughter and I now live in Istanbul . She is 14 years old and follows me on social media . She has n't seen my aftermath selfie @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ online . Last month , I finally told her about the incident . I felt it was important that she learned it from me and not the internet . I told her that for all these years , I had not wanted to scare her with the picture and its story , and that I made it public to encourage others to come forward . " I am not ashamed , " I told her . " You should n't be , " she said . On social media , we try to project an image of success , a mask of happiness to inspire envy , not pity . My selfie did the opposite . After my first decision to post the picture , and my subsequent withdrawal of it , it took me years to overcome the feelings of shame . I dreaded being labelled a victim , and for my daughter to see me in that light . The reaction I craved was not sympathy or compassion . It was anger , pure rage . A few years after the attack , I was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the International Criminal Court to photograph victims of crimes against humanity . After the Cairo incident , I was drawn to documenting stories of sexual assault survivors around the world . From conflicts in the Democratic Republic of the Congo , Central African Republic , C ? te D'Ivoire , Bosnia and Serbia , where rape was used as a weapon of war , to the Native American communities living in relative peace on reservations across the US , where the victims of historic generational trauma perpetrated the same crimes against their own family members . In Bangui , the capital of the Central African Republic , at the office of an NGO that assisted survivors of gender-based violence , I met Aisha . She was a single mother from a Muslim militia-controlled district in Bangui that had been besieged by Christian militias during the country 's protracted sectarian conflict . Ramatou ( left ) and Aisha , both survivors of gender-based violence , in Bangui in the Central African Republic . Photograph : Rena Effendi I told Aisha about what happened to me in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and bloodied face . I told her it did not equate to her own experience , but the feeling of shame and a sense of violated pride were familiar to me . Aisha took a quick glance at the picture , which I kept on my phone , and nodded . A reflection of kindred anger flashed in her eyes , as she sat up straight and said in a cold and resolute tone : " It happened twice . First time it was a gang rape . " Tall and strong , dressed in a matching robe and headscarf with her hair tucked away , Aisha wore chunky , gold-coloured earrings and was wrapped in a black shawl embroidered with crystal beads . Her friend Ramatou , a fellow survivor , young and slender in a pink dress and a white headdress , listened to Aisha with a half-extinguished gaze . She had probably heard the story a dozen times , yet she listened carefully , her silence punctuated with empathetic nods . In 2002 , amid a five-month-long terror campaign of rape , mass murder and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ militias in the Central African Republic , armed men entered Aisha 's family home and shot her brother in the legs to stop him from fighting off the attack . Five of these men then took turns to gang-rape Aisha and her brother 's wife . Aisha 's family decided to hush up the incident in order not to ruin her prospects of marriage . They moved to a different area of the city to start a new chapter for her and keep her reputation untainted . A decade later , a sectarian conflict unfolded between two militant groups , engulfing the entire country in a brutal civil war . By then , Aisha had a husband and three children , and was pregnant with a fourth . She remembered the exact day on 24 February 2014 when armed militants broke into her home while her husband was away . Threatening to kill one of her children if she did not obey , they abducted Aisha and brought her to an abandoned building . One of the group 's leaders walked in and ordered her to undress . He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a rocket shell . Once he was done , he ordered his men to lock her in a shed and kill her the next morning . For hours , Aisha sat in the room , bleeding and full of dread , until she heard one of the guards whisper through the crack in the door : " I do n't approve of this . I am leaving the door open at night , if you are strong enough to run , just go . " Dressed in nothing but underwear and bleeding from her wounds , Aisha ran through the night until she reached a cluster of houses , where she met women who gave her some clothes . When she reached home and told her husband about the rape , he got angry and took off , abandoning her and their three children . Following the assault , Aisha miscarried her fourth child . She has not seen her husband since , while her prospects of marrying again faded to zero with the stigma of rape . I went for a walk with Aisha and Ramatou @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expat women and aid workers were sunning themselves and splashing about in the pool . Aisha rarely ventured out of her besieged , militia-governed district , and being among strangers made her uncomfortable . She only left her home once a week to attend group meetings with other survivors of rape . This is where she met Ramatou . In a neat and breezy room with orange curtains blocking the afternoon sun , women from the opposite sides of the sectarian divide sat on plastic chairs , chatting and laughing . Shunned by their own communities , they found sisterhood here . A common thread between survivors was that most kept quiet about their abuse . Even women in countries with a functioning justice system often did not report their offenders . Some had to face them regularly at work or family gatherings , since their parents , friends and relatives discouraged them from taking the incidents to the police because of stigma and shame . For many victims , reporting rape could be dangerous . Those brave enough to come forward could be ostracised , left @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in so-called honour killings . As a result , many were forced to tuck away their trauma into a hidden corner of the past , never to be revisited . While their society turned a blind eye to these injustices , they remained silent , with the anger brewing inside them . I once heard the Congolese surgeon and Nobel peace prize laureate Denis Mukwege , who treated tens of thousands of rape victims in his hospital in Bukavu , say : " It 's the perpetrators who should be ashamed of their crimes , not the victims . " There is dignity and bravery in Aisha 's story of survival . Something to take pride in , not to hide . I do n't judge the silence of sexual assault survivors , but I condemn the stigma around them . Aisha and Ramatou had the courage to tell their stories .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'Edinburgh Fringe Festival' (NP subject) + 'has forced' (V1) + 'her' (NP object) + 'out of putting on a stand-up show this year' (VP2[-ing] predicate).

Television presenter Gail has slammed Edinbrugh Fringe Festival over venue and accomodation prices , which she claims has forced her to bow out of putting on a stand-up show this year .

Over two dozen charities have warned the Tories to rethink " cruel " plans to clampdown on " nuisance " rough sleeping in England . They claimed measures in the Criminal Justice Bill could see vulnerable women fined for seeking shelter and others penalised for " excessive smells " . It comes as the Government seeks to replace the 200-year-old Vagrancy Act which made begging and rough sleeping a criminal offence in England and Wales . But homeless charities Crisis , St Mungo 's and Centrepoint are among more than 30 organisations warning the new measures " undermine " promises to end rough sleeping . They warn : " The Bill proposes fines and prison terms for people in England and Wales who are considered a ' nuisance ' when rough sleeping . Under the terms of the Bill , this includes people who look like they have slept rough , or who merely ' intend ' to do so . " They add : " It could see women , who are disproportionately likely to suffer violence and sexual abuse on the streets , penalised for seeking shelter and safety in well-lit doorways @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to a person carrying an ' excessive smell ' . " To support people away from rough sleeping , we must establish trust between the authorities and those on the streets and find ways to connect people in unsafe situations with stable housing and support . The threat of fines and prison risks the opposite -- stigmatising those forced to sleep rough , and pushing them away from help and into more dangerous environments . " Last week it was warned the PM faces a rebellion of around 40 Tory MPs over the Bill unless some measures are removed . Chief Executive of homelessness charity Crisis , Matt Downie , said : " The government cites a moral imperative to end rough sleeping , yet these new measures will make it more difficult to do so . " They will punish people for having nowhere else to go and push them further away from support . If we focus on the solutions that work -- building safe and stable social housing and investing in specialist support that helps people keep their home -- we can end rough @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Secretary James Cleverly can do is listen to the concerns of these experienced organisations and remove these cruel and counterproductive measures . " Lib Dem MP Layla Moran - who campaigned against the Vagrancy Act - told The Mirror : " This policy is nasty and grim from a Conservative Party which continues to reach new lows . The British public , who donate so much time and money to help homeless people , are rightly disgusted by the Home Secretary 's stance . This country needs a general election immediately to stop this vile politics . " Grilled on the Bill today , the Health Secretary Victoria Atkins told Sky News the Government wanted to " help the most vulnerable in society " . She added : " What we 're trying to target are those criminal gangs who make a living out of intimidating people . We want to stop some of the aggressive begging that can happen around cash points for example . " Suggesting the wording of the Bill could be changed , Ms Atkins said : " We are absolutely not criminalising @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not have a home . " The Home Office insists " excessive smells " in the Bill does not refer to people smelling . A spokesman said : " We are determined to end rough sleeping for good and we have a plan to tackle the root causes of why people end up on the streets , backed by an unprecedented ? 2.4 billion . " We are repealing the outdated Vagrancy Act and replacing it with new legislation focused on supporting people to get off the streets . The Bill concentrates on behaviour that is anti-social , including causing environmental damage such as with excessive noise or litter . No one will be criminalised for simply having nowhere to live . We will continue to engage with stakeholders and parliamentary colleagues in the usual way as the Bill passes through parliament . " |

Martin Lewis ' Money Saving Expert team have issued an " urgent " Child Benefit check alert for thousands of families . In the latest newsletter from the website , which was founded and launched by the ITV Good Morning Britain regular , the team highlight changes to Child Benefit .

Writing in its weekly newsletter , the MSE team said : " Child Benefit high income thresholds raised - URGENTLY check if your family is one of 100,000s set to benefit .

These changes will benefit 485,000 families but many need to MANUALLY opt back in . " It explains if you are a higher-earning parent on up to ? 60,000 a year , you can now get the full amount of Child Benefit , worth ? 26 a week or ? 1,300+ for a first-born and ? 17 a week or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the age of 16 ( or 20 if in full-time education ) .

But if you previously opted out of receiving Child Benefit to avoid the high income charge , you must MANUALLY opt back in . And you should check if you can reduce your bill by increasing pension contributions , it adds . If you are a higher-earning parent on over ? 80,000 then it 's still worth registering for Child Benefit - and opting out of the payment - as you 'll get National Unsurance ( NI ) credits for your State Pension .

A top U.S. Treasury official on Thursday will call for decisive , coordinated action by official bilateral creditors to address the worsening financial challenges faced by low- and middle-income countries and to speed up debt relief when needed . Treasury Undersecretary for International Affairs Jay Shambaugh said urgent steps were needed to help indebted countries faced with " alarming tradeoffs due to falling inflows of official bilateral and private funds , and rising debt service payments . " " We have the tools to meet the moment , but we must strengthen and use them much more effectively , " he said in remarks prepared for an event at the Peterson Institute for International Economics . His speech was peppered with digs at emerging official creditors - the biggest of which is China - amid growing frustration among debtor countries about Beijing 's footdragging on debt restructuring efforts . Shambaugh outlined a U.S. vision for what the international financial system could and should be doing to address the challenges faced by emerging-market and developing economies that need hundreds of billions in additional public financing to meet sustainable development goals . The issues will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ International Monetary Fund and World Bank in Washington , amid warnings that global growth will reach just 2.8% by 2030 , a full percentage point below the historical average . Shambaugh said developing countries were spending more to service their public and private debt than they were receiving in fresh funds , with the outflows going largely to emerging official creditors . Almost 40 countries saw external public debt outflows in 2022 , and the flows likely worsened in 2023 , he said , noting that Sub-Saharan African countries had been unable to access bond markets at all last year . To counteract the trend , Shambaugh said official bilateral creditors should pledge to sustain net positive flows to countries that were pursuing responsible policies , especially when the IMF and the multilateral development banks ( MDBs ) had backed their reforms and investment plans . Some G20 creditors , he said , were not sustaining financial flows to countries with IMF programs , he said , noting that dozens of low- and middle-income countries had negative net debt flows to Chinese public and private creditors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pulling funds out of a country while it is implementing IMF- and MDB-supported reforms , and other bilateral and multilateral creditors are refinancing or rolling over funds , or injecting new resources , " he said . Shambaugh also called once again for changes to ensure that the G20 Common Framework produced deeper and more timely restructurings . He said the United States and other creditors had sharply scaled back loan exposures to developing countries following a wave of debt treatments in the 1980s and 1990s , and were now providing far more grants to these borrowing countries . For example , Washington disbursed nearly $70 billion in aid to Sub-Saharan African countries over the past five years , nearly seven times the net debt flows from all Chinese creditors , he said , saying it would be " helpful " if more emerging creditors made the shift . He also said private funds should not be flowing out of developing countries with strong macro frameworks , calling for creditor countries to incentivize continued private sector engagement through credit enhancements and borrower protections .

A new form of sticker shock has hit American car buyers like Darin Davis . In January , when the 56-year-old Dallas real estate agent renewed the insurance on the pearly-white 2024 Cadillac XT4 that he bought just a few months earlier , the rate nearly doubled . " It takes the fun out of owning a new car when you 're paying so much money , " said Davis , adding that if he 'd known such a massive increase was coming , he might have opted for a less expensive model . But by then it was too late . In one of the cruel twists of an inflation-weary U.S. economy , car prices are coming down after surging by record amounts during the COVID-19 pandemic . But at least part of those gains for consumers are getting gobbled up by rising auto insurance rates that for some models now account for more than a quarter of the total cost of owning a vehicle . And car buyers are n't the only ones with an axe to grind over insurance inflation . For Federal Reserve policymakers working to lower inflation overall , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conspired to slow their progress . HURTING AFFORDABILITY The Consumer Price Index rose 3.5% last month from a year earlier , according to the Labor Department . But auto insurance costs were up 22.2% over the same period , the biggest increase since the 1970s . Car prices , meanwhile , continued to moderate . New vehicle prices declined 0.1% , compared to a year earlier , while used prices slipped 2.2% . Car dealers are offering more incentives to buyers , which helps bring down up-front costs . The degree to which insurance rates are weighing on buying decisions is unclear , but there are signs it 's become a bigger factor , especially for consumers on tight budgets . " We 're hearing from a number of shoppers that they 're declining to buy a car - or returning one - because they can afford the car , but not the insurance for it , " said Sean Tucker , a senior editor at Kelley Blue Book , a car valuation and research company in Irvine , California . Tucker said Kelley Blue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tips , urging shoppers to get an insurance quote before they put down any money . Car insurance rates vary widely across the country and are influenced by everything from the cost local collision repair shops charge to the potential for damage from tropical storms and wildfires . According to the insurance shopping site Insurify , the average cost in the U.S. for full auto coverage rose 24% last year and now stands at just over $182 a month . The company said 63% of drivers it surveyed saw rates increase in 2023 and predicts rates will rise another 7% in 2024 . But that figure could rise . " We 're seeing a lot of activity in ( the first quarter ) that indicate to us it may increase even more , " said Jessica Edmondson , a data specialist at Insurify . TOTAL COST Insurance seems poised to continue to grow as a share of the so-called total cost of owning of a vehicle , which factors in things like routine maintenance , taxes , depreciation , and fuel , as well as insurance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an average 16% of this gauge for a compact car in 2019 and will grow to 26% in 2024 . For a compact SUV , it was 13% in 2019 , but will be 20% this year . Multiple forces have combined to fuel the current surge in rates . More cars are being totaled than in the past and quality issues mounted during the production disruptions caused by the pandemic that can lead to insurance claims . A shortage of mechanics has meant it takes longer to fix a car , which in turn drives up the cost to insurance companies that provide rental cars to policyholders waiting for those repairs . A typical car is also increasingly laden with electronics that can make them costlier and more difficult to repair . " A bumper is just a bumper - but a bumper full of sensors costs more to repair , " said Kristin Dziczek , a policy advisor at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago who is an expert in automotive industry trends . She noted that electric cars , on average , cost 30% more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also changes in how carmakers are producing cars that carry insurance implications . For instance , Tesla has pioneered a process called gigacasting , which involves casting a single part that can replace 30 or more separate pieces of metal in a traditional vehicle . That reduces production costs but can make it costlier to repair a vehicle involved in an accident . Other carmakers are following suit . Cadillac makes one model now that uses 16 gigacastings . Meanwhile , Davis--the Dallas real estate agent who bought a new Cadillac--said he eventually found a cheaper option by bundling his car and homeowners insurance and increasing the deductible .

The heartbroken sister of a young Scots man who died in his sleep has paid tribute to her loving brother who she described as a ' big character ' .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'out of having to bring it in house' does not involve a causee participating in an event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

GKN Aerospace continues to advance development of its 1MW hydrogen-electric powertrain under its H2GEAR programme but progress has been slower than hoped due to issues with the supply chain for its cryogenic electric motor . Although the overall project is " progressing really well " , says Russ Dunn , chief technology officer of UK-headquartered GKN , it had hoped to complete testing of the powertrain in 2025 , a milestone which has now slipped into 2026 .

Bench testing of a cryogenic demonstrator motor and distribution network to raise both systems to technology readiness level ( TRL ) 4 were due to have taken place last year , but GKN has struggled to secure suitable suppliers , delaying the project slightly , says Dunn . " We found some quite significant challenges in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up having to bring a lot of that component production in house . " Parts suppliers were either unwilling " to invest or allocate resources on a long-term hydrogen-type programme " or could not deliver the required quality , he says . However , the need to internalise production has meant GKN " leveraged some unique IP " from across the business : " We have actually probably got greater value out of having to bring it in house than we anticipated , but it was n't in the original plan . " The demonstrator motor -- with power output of " hundreds of kilowatts " -- is now being assembled at GKN 's Global Technology Centre in Bristol in southwest England and is " looking very , very good " , says Dunn .

Dunn says it continues to see no obstacles to scaling the system further for a larger aircraft . GKN 's studies suggest around 2MW combined output would be required for a 46-seat aircraft , and 8MW for a 96-seater .

" We have paid for car modifications , following patients ' amputations . We 've paid for travel insurance , where it 's been particularly high for patients going on a trip . We 've paid for trips on occasions where palliative patients are having a last holiday with their families . " We have paid for private tuition for patients here and that GCSE , A-Level stage because there 's no private tuition from the education authority for those for that age group .

" We have a shared email address , and we pick up work as and when we can , " explains Leona of The Boom Foundation . " So for instance , I might spend a lunchtime and I can do a referral so I can phone a patient during my lunch , if I 'm walking out or pick up a couple of emails during the day . " We want people to know that the money they 're raising is going to the patients as opposed to going to printing things or advertising . " Though her full-time job is as a solicitor , when asked Leona says both roles complement the other , offering ' invaluable ' skills such as understanding legal documents . " Even just communication skills , being able to communicate with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well . It 's just that those interpersonal skills , I think , are invaluable . " " The problem with sarcoma as well is and people do n't realise is that when you 're diagnosed with sarcoma , the first thing you 'll be told and the first things that you 'll read is about how rare it is , and that because there 's over 100 different subtypes of sarcoma , you might not ever come across someone who has the same subtype as you . " With breast cancer and testicular cancer and all of those different types of cancer that are so serious as well , because there 's so many more people diagnosed with those types of cancers , there 's more research , there 's more drugs available , there 's more awareness around them , there 's more charities focusing their time on those particular cancers . " So for sarcoma patients , they feel isolated in the diagnosis , they feel isolated in the care and support that they might receive . And also not being able to share @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Leona 's late fianc ? Philip Many patients with different cancers will be discharged from hospital care at some stage -- but this is n't the case with sarcoma patients . " The sarcoma patient will never be discharged from care because of the very high incidence of reoccurrence . They have to be scanned every three to six months to make sure that there 's no metastasis , " says Leona . " There 's about 100 new patients each year diagnosed in Northern Ireland but on top of the 100 from last year and the 100 from the year before there 's a huge number across Northern Ireland who are continually being reviewed so the numbers of patients are huge because they do n't really get that . Because of that continued review , they never really feel like they 're out of out of care . " Leona speaks of scanxiety -- patients receiving a letter inviting them to a three-monthly review scan . " They 're anxious about that scan , then they 're anxious about the results that may take @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And then before you know it , you 've got the other the next letter for the next scan . It 's just never ending . " Leona at Number 10 The Boom Foundation can act as a conduit for patients and their families , asking questions or providing explanations during what is an emotive and fraught time . " At the time I was a newly qualified solicitor , so my salary was n't great at the time , " explains Leona of when Philip was ill . " He was off work , and he was in sales , so his salary was largely driven by his sales . So , when he was n't working , he got very little and then when his sick pay ran out , he effectively had nothing . We still had a mortgage to pay , bills to pay . " At that time , obviously we were paying for a wedding . " I remember filling out a form for Macmillan , and I remember trying to get him DLA and the amount of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ albeit a trainee at the time , I was used to doing paperwork , and I just remember thinking if there was n't somebody jumping up and down to get these things done , I mean , how on earth would anybody get these things done . " Philip , she says , was a private person who 'd often say , ' You 'd think I 'm the only person in Northern Ireland with cancer ' . " I remember saying to him , but you 're the only person that I care about at the minute who has cancer . " That was his way of saying to me , would you calm down . He was always really embarrassed going into these consultations with his consultant and he would just quite happily just sit there and be spoken to . " Whereas I was the one asking all of the questions . It did make me think that there are patients still sitting there being spoken to and not even able to ask certain questions . " I think the health professionals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , " she continues . " But they 're really massively under pressure and they ca n't be having telephone conversations with patients a day after they 've had a consultation with them just because the patient was n't able to take in everything that was said at the time . " But we can ; we 've that time that we can actually sit down and explain to them this is what they meant by that , and this is the drug that you 're going to be on and , why do n't we ask these questions at your next review . We can help the patients to sort of do that . " In March 2017 , Leona was awarded a Point of Light honour , an award that recognises inspirational volunteers . She was informed of the upcoming investiture in October 2023 . The Princess Royal awarding Leona O'Neill her MBE in March " I 'll be honest , I 've got a friend who does really sophisticated pranks . For a time , I was thinking is this real ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the new year 's honours list . I was totally overwhelmed . " I think this is a typical Northern Irish thing as well , we 're not very good at taking a compliment . I could n't do Boom if it was n't for all of the trustees and volunteers . " To me , the MBE was personal , but it was more about a great recognition for all of the work that 's done behind the scenes . " When I got the MBE , a part of me would rather it had been something for the charity , but it just took me a little bit of time to understand actually it is about the charity , it was for the charity . " It 's just , I suppose , recognition of what work I 've done too . But I suppose that took me a little bit of time just to get my head around that you know , I wanted it to be more about everybody else too . " The day , she says , was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Windsor itself was just beautiful . It was first time I 'd been there . It was as close to feeling royal that you 'll ever feel I think because the minute you get there , all the staff are congratulating you and it felt very genuine . " The ' very intimate ' setting saw Princess Anne award Leona with her MBE , as her husband and mum looked on , alongside a string quartet . " A lot of people who helped me in the charity as well , some of them been personally affected by sarcoma , " says Leona . " I know that they get a lot out of being able to give that support back . Everybody was really delighted obviously that I got the MBE too . " I know that a lot of the other volunteers and trustees do as well , they would n't do otherwise . " It is a lot of work and it 's a lot of your own free time given up , so I think you need to get something out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " |

The Brighton-based festival is sponsored by the bank , which has been a source of controversy amid the current events in Gaza because of the bank 's financial investment in companies that supply arms to Israel .

The statement is supported by over 1000 musicians and industry professionals so far . 216 of the signatories are booked to play at this year 's festival . The statement reads : " A bank that is involved in Israel 's genocide has no place at The Great Escape , which is a fixture of the independent music scene and has a prized place in the industry . We refuse to let music be used to whitewash human rights violations . We can not let our creative outputs become smokescreens behind which money is pumped into murdering Palestinians . " Advertisement ? NME has reached out to The Great Escape festival for comment . ?

" Explaining its sponsorship with the US Army , SXSW wrote : " The defence industry has historically been a proving ground for many of the systems we rely on today . These institutions are often leaders in emerging technologies , and we believe it 's better to understand how their approach will impact our lives . " |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks a V1 that causes the NP object to move out of or be prevented from the VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, 'chose to opt out of' is a voluntary action by the subject, not a caused action by another agent.

Child benefit : Failure to claim because you are n't entitled to receive the payments means you do n't receive state pension credits One million fewer families are claiming child benefit payments than a decade ago , new figures reveal , meaning many could unwittingly be falling into the trap of creating shortfalls in their state pension records . Parents who do not qualify for child benefit and therefore do n't claim it can miss out on valuable credits - worth ? 329 a year , or ? 6,500 over a 20-year retirement - in what one expert calls a ' hidden horror ' of the system .

HMRC released figures today @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , down from a peak of 7.92million in summer 2012 . Before the rule change in January 2013 , the number of families receiving child benefit had been rising every year , but there was an immediate drop of 370,000 the following year , and the decline has continued ever since . HMRC figures show that in August last year , 7.65 million families in total were claiming child benefit , down 47,000 on the year before . Some 6.91million were receiving payments , down 106,000 . There were 741,000 families who claimed but chose to opt out of receiving the money . At present , parents can submit a claim for child benefit but tick a box to opt out of receiving payments , and only get state pension credits .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'chose to opt out of receiving the money' involves 'opt out of' followed by a gerund, but there is no NP object between the verb 'chose' and 'out of'. Additionally, it does not clearly convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as defined for the transitive out of -ing construction.

Child benefit : Failure to claim because you are n't entitled to receive the payments means you do n't receive state pension credits One million fewer families are claiming child benefit payments than a decade ago , new figures reveal , meaning many could unwittingly be falling into the trap of creating shortfalls in their state pension records . Parents who do not qualify for child benefit and therefore do n't claim it can miss out on valuable credits - worth ? 329 a year , or ? 6,500 over a 20-year retirement - in what one expert calls a ' hidden horror ' of the system . Child benefit was reduced for those earning ? 50,000-plus a year , or wiped out entirely for those earning ? 60,000-plus - something officially known as the ' high income child benefit charge ' or HICBC . The rules were eased earlier this month so child benefit starts to be phased out if one member of the household earns ? 60,000 , and payments stop altogether at ? 80,000 . HMRC released figures today @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , down from a peak of 7.92million in summer 2012 . Before the rule change in January 2013 , the number of families receiving child benefit had been rising every year , but there was an immediate drop of 370,000 the following year , and the decline has continued ever since . HMRC figures show that in August last year , 7.65 million families in total were claiming child benefit , down 47,000 on the year before . Some 6.91million were receiving payments , down 106,000 . There were 741,000 families who claimed but chose to opt out of receiving the money . At present , parents can submit a claim for child benefit but tick a box to opt out of receiving payments , and only get state pension credits . Anyone who has not done so yet is urged to do so now , rather than wait for the Government to fix the issue by offering new credits in several years ' time . For now , your state pension credits will only be backdated for three months when you belatedly register @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hole in your record will stop getting bigger . Parents who miss out on credits might make them up before retirement by working and paying National Insurance for enough years , or qualifying for them in some other way such as being a carer . But this is not guaranteed , and parents will not necessarily be well off in their own right , or still married to a partner whose high earnings disqualified them from child benefit , by the time they reach retirement age . Regarding the latest data on claims released by HMRC , he says : ' These latest figures show the dramatic impact of the High Income Child Benefit Charge , knocking a million families off child benefit in just over a decade . ' An important knock-on effect is that hundreds of thousands of parents may have missed out on vital National Insurance credits towards their state pension . ' Although the government has proposed a new way of crediting people in , we still lack important detail and there is a risk that these new credits will suffer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ existing system . This issue needs to be resolved as a matter of urgency . ' Helen Morrissey , head of retirement analysis at Hargreaves Lansdown , says : ' Child benefit take-up continues to fall , as parents do what they can to avoid the dreaded High Income Child Benefit tax charge . ' But avoiding the charge today can have a severe impact on their income long term , because they also risk missing out on valuable National Insurance credits towards their state pension . ' Child benefit is one benefit that carries National Insurance credits to help preserve parents ' state pension entitlement during time they spend out of work . ' Not claiming it leaves gaps in people 's records , leading to lower state pensions as a result . It 's a real hidden horror of the system that more people need to know about . ' Morrissey says ticking a box to get the National Insurance credit but not the child benefit payment saves you the admin headache of filling out a self-assessment tax return , but the continuing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can do this . Meanwhile , she says the new higher threshold for the High Income Child Benefit tax charge means more families wo n't be affected , but until a system to help claim back NI credits is up and running we will continue to see people unwittingly miss out . A Government spokesperson says : ' We 've raised the threshold for the High Income Child Benefit Charge ( HICBC ) which will take 170,000 families out of paying the charge this year . ' We also plan to end the unfairness for single earner families by administering the HICBC on a household basis from April 2026 and will consult in due course . ' We 're developing comprehensive plans to raise awareness of the new retrospective National Insurance credits scheme and ensure parents do n't miss out on their state pension entitlement .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It describes a scenario where a brain might materialize out of nothing, but there is no NP object functioning as a causee, nor does it involve a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of nothing' is not part of a VP2[-ing] predicate, and the sentence lacks the necessary components to be considered an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

First , apologies if this violates Den of Geek 's house style guidelines , but LOL . LOL at everyone who thought that Russell T Davies would return to Doctor Who as the avenging angel of ' The Fans ' , riding in and heroically retconning out all the plot points they had been complaining about for the last four years . No , instead Davies has said he is going to take Chibnall 's idea and run with it , making it " the spine " of the Doctor and Ruby Sunday 's story going forward . This can only mean that there is an even bigger , more momentous , more canon-shattering plot twist in the pipeline . Almost next to the question posed by the show 's title , one of the show 's biggest mysteries has always been ' Why is the Doctor so into humans anyway ? ' Is it because human characters and settings are easier to portray on an increasingly strained BBC budget ? Maybe humans are special somehow , and there is some ineffable quality to them that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that great about humanity itself , but the Doctor just likes them anyway , like Liquorice Allsorts ? Or perhaps it 's the Doctor 's boundless compassion and empathy that drives them to protect us ? These are some pretty weak theories to be honest . Everyone knows humanity is awful , and compassion is n't real . No , there must be some massive secret backstory to explain this obvious character flaw . The only people who like humans are humans , so the Timeless Child must be some sort of genetically modified human from a future Earth ( maybe from before it got blown up in the 2005 series , but probably after it got put back in its original place after being moved halfway across the galaxy in " The Mysterious Planet " ) . That 's right , Davies is not just confirming the Timeless Child , he 's making " The Doctor 's Half Human " canon as well . In an earlier draft for the script of " Wild Blue Yonder " , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what " the edge of the universe " actually means , this being the kind of thing you have to be specific about when you are writing Doctor Who . Ad Ad -- content continues below Davies later revealed the cut passage , which said that the Doctor and Donna had gone " Beyond the Realm of the Boltzmann Brains " . Boltzmann Brains are cool . Basically , the idea is that given the infinite size of the universe and the vast chaos it contains , it might actually be more likely that a brain would randomly materialise out of nothing with the memories of an entire life behind it , than it is for intelligent life to emerge over billions of years through the processes science currently tells us happened . Join our mailing list Get the best of Den of Geek delivered right to your inbox ! So what if that 's why Davies cut the line out ? Because it gave away the true origin of the Doctor . Would n't that be fitting ? For the person whose past @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have no past at all ? It would be like the Rey twist in The Last Jedi , but times infinity . We 're on Disney+ now , why the hell not ? This one would admittedly be more likely if Steven Moffat was still in the big chair , but Russell T Davies ' is not above some timey wimey when the mood takes him . We know a surprisingly large amount about the Doctor 's future . We know , for instance , that at some point they retire from TARDISing for a bit to put Tom Baker 's face back on and become the curator of the undergallery . We even know that , although it was never confirmed on screen , at some point they look like Colin Salmon and download their brain into The Library to keep River Song company . But what , really , is the ultimate End of the Doctor ? What else , when all is said and done , could it be ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ favourites " , the Doctor ultimately revisits all of their old faces ? What if , like the Master during the Time War , the Doctor wipes their own memory , regenerates into a small child and falls through a dimensional rift , dropping themselves off right at the beginning of their own story and closing the loop ? The multiverse of Doctor Who is positively littered with celestial beings . The Toymaker , the Beast , Fenric , the White and Black Guardians , that frog from another universe in " It Takes You Away " . Pin their photos to a dart board , put on a blindfold , throw a dart . Wherever it lands , that 's your back-story , right there . Ad Ad -- content continues below What if the Doctor is just God ? No messing about , metaphors or God-like aliens or any of that , just the Doctor being actual God . It 's not like the show has n't indulged in a bit of messianic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out before , Christopher Eccleston and Russell T Davies first teamed up for a drama on this very topic with Second Coming . So , let 's stop beating around the bush and call the Doctor what they are -- the omniscient and omnipotent creator and lord of all things who came into the world in the form of a human , died to save us and was resurrected , over and over and over again . To be honest we only had one real reservation about the Timeless Child reveal , and that was that the Master seemed so upset about it . That the Master 's ability to regenerate came from the Doctor meant that the Master and the Doctor would be irreversibly bonded for all time , and made the Doctor partially culpable for every evil thing the Master did beyond their first incarnation . Plus , there is not a single actor to have played the evil Time Lord who would not have delivered the line " It turns out I have a little @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ grin . But what if we twist the knife further ? What if the Master had broken the Time Lord taboo ? This , by the way , is not my idea . Credit for that belongs to Russell T Davies and Steven Moffat during the writing of " World Enough and Time " and " The Doctor Falls " , which featured both Michelle Gomez 's Missy and John Simm 's Master . " We concocted this whole scheme that I 'd cliffhanger out of my era on Doctor Who -- handing over to Chris Chibnall -- with Missy telling the Master and the Doctor that she 's pregnant , " Moffat has said . Maybe Missy survived her backstabbing my her former self at the end of " The Doctor Falls " . Ad Ad -- content continues below A Time Lord getting pregnant by one of their own regenerations has got to break some sort of law of Gallifrey , and so in desperation ( and let 's be honest , a temperament ill-suited to parenthood ) , she ditched the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be discovered by ancient Gallifreyan space travellers . Remember these guys ? From " Flux " ? Whatever happened to them ? We know Vinder 's important because he started off at Outpost Rose , and we know they had a baby . Maybe they dropped it in a dimensional rift . Again , this one is a bit of a Moffat idea , but it 's in keeping with the " power of stories " twist at the end of " Last of the Time Lords " . As River Song has said , whenever there is a good wizard in a story , it always turns out to be him . But what if the Doctor is not just an alien travelling the universe inspiring all those fairy tales and legends ? What if all those fairy tales and legends called out to the universe and somehow summoned the Doctor ? Joseph Campbell 's " Hero with a Thousand Faces " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but come on , you 're not actually a hundred percent confident they 're not going to do this , are you ? In the ultimate twist , Russell T Davies wins back every single one of the grumpy fans by undoing the destruction of Gallifrey , re-establishing the Doctor as a Time Lord and finally , beyond doubt , ensuring that all of the Virgin New Adventures are canon . Picture the scene . The villain makes a big speech " Blah blah , Doctor , you suck , you do n't even know who you really are ... " etc . Ncuti Gatwa , bloodied but defiant and delivering the performance of his life says , " I know who I am . I 've always known . " Then he turns directly to the camera and says " I 'm you , the viewer at home . " You look down , and realise your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ encompassed your entire body , each cell spontaneously combusting and being reborn as something new . Terrified , you flee to the one place you instinctively feel safe -- that gap behind the sofa . Funny , there 's not much room there , even for a child . Why did you ever think you could hide there ? Unless ... and then you realise it 's bigger on the inside . And that is your last thought before you are found , your memory gone , on a mysterious planet beneath a dimensional rift .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'pull out of' as a phrasal verb followed by a gerund phrase 'joining Manchester United in 2022', which does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction as defined. Additionally, there is no NP object between the verb and 'out of', and the interpretation does not align with the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the construction.

The Reds needed a penalty shootout to beat Coventry after the match finished 3-3 after extra time at Wembley Stadium .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

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

Plans for 101 flats in Coventry have been approved by the council despite local concerns over noise and parking . The scheme four storeys high at its tallest point will go at Regent Street near the ring-road . It comes two years after plans for a 234-room student block on the old roofing supply yard were refused . The latest plans were hit with four objections from neighbours , a council officer report revealed . Locals said the block would be " out of keeping " with surrounding homes on the terraced street and be " overdevelopment . " They claimed it would cause parking problems , create noise because of its size and next door homes would lose privacy and light . But a statement with plans said the building had been designed to reduce its effect on neighbours and its scale . The report by GM planning claimed that the scheme is a " particularly well resolved design " that would help meet housing needs . It added that the development will involve a capital spend of about ? 10 million and up to 100 jobs when it is being built . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " help to regenerate the site " and be a suitable place for people to live . The entrance to the site on Regent Street where new flats will go ( Image : Google Maps ) Their report said it is much less intense than previous student accommodation plans meaning there will be less of an impact on neighbours from noise and disturbance . And this is " acceptable " when balanced against the housing it will provide , it added . The flats will overshadow neighbours more than the current buildings but the impact will be " minimal , " the officer wrote . Part glazing windows will address a loss of privacy and only " specific " flats in the scheme will be allowed to rent parking spaces . Overall they found the scheme would mostly have benefits from going ahead , with only a limited downside due to the " minor " effect on daylight and sunlight of some neighbours . The number of parking spaces is below standards , the report admitted , but the block 's location near major public transport @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Regent Street block will have a courtyard inside ( Image : GM Planning ) The lack of housing in the city also weighed in the scheme 's favour . Outline permission for the block was granted by the council earlier this week ( 22 April . ) Developers will pay ? 389,918.00 towards local services and 10 of the flats will be affordable under a Section 106 agreement . Most of the flats will be one-bedroom units and there will be 21 parking spaces . |

There 's an estate in Birmingham which has been family-owned since 1717 where every homeowner is issued with a 32-page manual on how they are expected to maintain their house and garden . The Calthorpe Residents Handbook forbids artificial grass , frowns upon the keeping of noisy roosters and bans the hanging out of washing on Sundays . When BirminghamLive shared details of the rules , readers were divided in their reaction . Some questioned why people should be told when they can hang their washing in their own backyard whereas many said they felt this was the reason ' why the Calthorpe Estate is so elegant and desirable . ' Mbic said : " Could do with bringing something like that where we live ! Front gardens are disappearing , grass verges are being churned up by parked cars as well as buy to let properties and HMO 's " and Chris agreed : " Sounds like a good idea , wish more areas had them . " Ivorro added : " Along Bristol Road there are some front garden walls that have been taken down and rubble left . Looks like a taxi @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ abiding by their rules . Thank goodness for The Calthorpe Estate . Should be all across the city . Parking on verges . Taking hedges down . How much space does a hedge take up ? What is the footprint of a tree ? Paving over everything should be banned . Looks horrible and bad for the environment . " The 640 hectare estate which stretches through Edgbaston and into Harborne and Quinton . People are n't allowed any visible bins and have to make an application if they wish to install a satellite dish .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes a situation where a retired spy is brought out of hiding by his neighbour, which does not involve a V1 verb acting on an NP object to prevent or extract from an -ing action. The phrase 'brought out of hiding' does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction as it lacks the necessary components and interpretations.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'take the chore out of cutting' does not involve a causee NP object that participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Making your garden look as nice as an Oxford college lawn can be a hassle -- but these tips will make it look tip-top Credit : Tracey Packer Gardeners " have been led down the garden path " by so-called hard-wearing ryegrass mixes , says lawn consultant David Hedges-Gower . The consultant , who is also chairman of the Lawn Association , has launched a project with Oxford University , to teach its gardeners how to keep the university 's lawns in tip-top condition , without requiring extensive watering and chemical use . The turfcare veteran says that the university colleges , renowned for their lawns stretching out down to the punts on the River Cherwell , came to him seeking advice when they noticed their swards were not looking their best -- and not because of heavy use by students , dons and tourists : there are plenty of " keep off the grass " signs around the colleges . Hedges-Gower claims that the college gardeners have been misled by claims that modern ryegrass seed mixes will combat hard wear , particularly as we experience more extreme weather that floods and scorches the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Yet the modern seed mixes that have been used to re-turf many of the previously immaculate lawns in recent years ( and , no doubt , many domestic gardens ) now need regular significant repair , because keeping a ryegrass lawn thick and lush requires " repeated , almost yearly reseeding , regular watering and heavy pesticide use " . Alastair Mallick , head gardener of Oxford 's Somerville College , said that it had been " eye-opening " to discover " all the misleading information that we have been told over the years " . " Our newfound understanding of lawncare is not only simpler but aligns perfectly with our sustainability goals , " he added . Magdalen College Credit : Universal Images Group Editorial " The mantra ' right plant for the right place ' could n't be more apt . While sports grasses like ryegrass might suit football fields , they simply do n't align with our aspirations for our lawns . " Here are some of the findings from the course , which could help the ordinary gardener to achieve that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hedges-Gower recommends a bent fescue rather than a rye grass . " Ryegrass is great for the money-pit sports industry but is rarely necessary , " he says , adding that keeping a ryegrass lawn thick and lush requires repeated , almost yearly reseeding , regular watering and heavy pesticide use . But traditional grasses , such as bents and fescues , offer a healthy native lawn that is much more self-sustaining . Hedges-Gower 's thinking is that cows , sheep and cattle keep the grass under control in the countryside , where healthy swards and healthy soil go hand-in-hand : " You do n't see weeds there . " There is no set rule regarding frequency , but mowing daily helps build density and blocks out weeds , if you have the right grass to begin with . Convention suggests mowing down one third of the grass blade , but Hedges-Gower believes that is " a stupid saying " . He believes 25mm is a good height to cut to . Robot mowers can take the chore out of cutting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the labour out of this and can be programmed to cut at exact heights : " The rule of thumb is cut as much as you need or want . Once a week is good enough , but for a perfect lawn , the best plan is to cut seven days a week . " The more you mow , the more dense your lawn becomes . It 's as simple as that . " Nutrition for the lawn , and how this can be achieved without the need for polymer-coated synthetic fertilisers , will also be high on the agenda for turf lovers . Polymer-coated fertiliser -- sold as " slow release " , or " controlled release " -- can be a plastic pollutant , Hedges-Gower believes , with " hundreds of thousands of tonnes of this each year " going into the soil . The Lawn Association 's own product , Truegrass , uses food waste as a " carrier " , rather than polymer or chalk . The product contains mycorrhiza and seaweed , as well as humic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ breaks down , adding further nutrients to the earth . A dense sward of native grass to keep down weeds is the key . Weedkiller will only kill young annuals , which you wo n't get with native grasses ; and overuse will lead to mud and a great platform for weed seeds to germinate . A few weeds in the lawn are generally accepted nowadays , to add biodiversity to the garden : " Dandelions and daisies are fine , " says Hedges-Gower , who believes grass is best as the " dominant " lawn plant . Weeds such as daises are good for biodiversity Credit : Kenny Williamson " A weed is just a plant that we brand as a weed . " His advice , if you use your garden for socialising , is to think of the grass as " a clever canopy for the soil , so you can have parties or so the kids can play on it . " Rye grass needs a huge amount of water to look good , as it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dense . However , Hedges-Gower 's advice is not to water your lawn in the summer : " We 're only talking 12 weeks a year and it 's not necessary to water unless you have a sustainable source , " he says . " When the rains come back , the grass comes back , after going to sleep during hot spells . " The current , widely held belief system in lawncare is that what seed you use entirely depends on the purpose of the turf . Rye is for football and rugby pitches , and for all-purpose amenity and " family " lawns , because rye is seen as tough . Fescues and bents are much finer and are used for luxury lawns and areas such as golf courses and bowling greens ; fescues and bents can withstand close mowing better than rye grasses . Hedges-Gower turns this on its head and says it is the old-fashioned fescues and bents that are the more sustainable choice and will require less water and feeding . He gives the example of Hidcote in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trust when there were problems with a worn lawn in the garden . He recommended replacing rye with bent fescue as a more innovative , native solution : " These grasses cover the British countryside and that tells you how successful they are . " But can we say goodbye to the hard work of mowing ? You are being misled if you think you can lock the lawnmower up in the shed forever . Unless you can afford a robot or you have enough space for cattle , you really have been led down the garden path if you think you can put your feet up all year and just watch the grass grow . Though with current trends for wilder lawns , and with Hedges-Gower 's recommended fescue and bent grasses , you can afford to be a lot lazier than lawn-lovers used to be . " You can never not cut grass , " concludes Hedges-Gower , " but this native grass species is happy at all heights , and all ways you wish to maintain your lawn -- be that mown short @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ once-a-year meadow .

Nashville star Charles Esten 's most heartbreaking track is based on a real-life cancer battle . The actor and songwriter , who is currently touring the UK following the release of his latest album Love Ai n't Pretty , penned the lyrics to his song Somewhere in the Sunshine after chatting with a friend who is " nearing the end " of his battle with cancer after seven years . It 's not the star 's first brush with the heartbreaking condition , either , as his own daughter Addie was diagnosed with leukaemia when she was just two years old . Addie underwent gruelling rounds of chemotherapy which led to infections so severe they landed her in the paediatric intensive care unit . Thankfully , she 's now healthy after a decade of health checks from doctors , and a journey Charles said was " terrifying " . Now the star is channelling those emotions into his new song , and explained all in an exclusive chat with Daily Star . Charles Esten opened up about his friend 's battle with cancer " He was talking about what comes next , and that balance between his faith and his fears . When I went to write with my friend Jon Nite , we had the title and he was ready to write something happy about the beach and tequila . That 's what I would have written 99 times out of 100 , and it would have been a great song ... but in that moment it instantly hit me that that place in the sunshine is where I think it all goes , where we end up , that 's what my faith says -- that we 'll end up somewhere in the sunshine .

It really means you should do everything you can to see this place , it 's beautiful . " That little click in the writers ' room to do it from the one you love , but to keep it about the place and the love that person has for the person they 're speaking to ... those things meant that people are connecting with it in ways that really move me .

When Covid struck and the lockdowns all happened , like everybody else your mindset shifted a little bit . " Every word you have typed seemed irrelevant , they were not of the moment .

Rishi Sunak has once more declined to dismiss the possibility of a July general election , amidst rumours that poor local election outcomes for the Conservatives might compel him to act . The Prime Minister maintained his stance , stating he would n't " say anything more than I 've already said " , which is that the national vote is likely to occur in the latter half of the year . While most political commentators interpret this as pointing towards October or November , technically , July remains a potential option . However , a significant defeat in the upcoming mayoral and council elections on May 2 could trigger either a leadership challenge or convince him that opting for an earlier election date would be preferable to continuing with a fractured party . The recent switch of allegiance by a former Conservative health minister to Labour has heightened anxiety among already uneasy Tory MPs , adding to the pressure on the Prime Minister . Dr Dan Poulter publicly left the Conservative Party on Saturday , criticising it for failing to give due priority to the overstretched NHS . In an interview on Sunday Morning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unexpected departure , Mr Sunak was questioned if the second half of the year could imply July . The Prime Minister responded : " I 'm not going to say anything more than I 've already said , I 've been very clear about that .

I 'm going to always try and say the same thing . You should just listen to what I said , same thing I 've said all year . " Mr Sunak also suggested he could wait for the economy to improve before calling an election , possibly later this year . He said : " I 'm determined to make sure that people feel when the election comes that the future is better , that we have turned the corner . " The Conservatives are expected to lose approximately half of their council seats in the upcoming elections , and their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ analysts believe that if West Midlands Mayor Andy Street and Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen lose their elections , the Prime Minister could face a no-confidence vote , for which 52 Tory MPs are required . The Prime Minister stated to Sir Trevor that " local elections are always difficult for incumbent parties " , and criticised " rising crime in London , rising council tax in Birmingham " both of which are Labour-controlled areas . Rumours circulated in Westminster on Friday that Mr Sunak might initiate an election campaign as early as Monday to prevent a potential challenge from restless MPs , although Downing Street dismissed these rumours . The latest possible date for the election is January 28 , 2025 . Mr Sunak sought to bolster his premiership this week with a flurry of announcements , including the passing of Rwanda asylum legislation and a pledge to spend 2.5% of gross domestic product on defence by 2030 .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes a situation where changes could lead to certain outcomes (e.g., being kicked out of competitions) but does not involve a causer causing a causee to move out of or be prevented from an action denoted by a VP[-ing] predicate. The phrase 'being kicked out of this summer's Euros' is passive but does not align with the construction's semantic or syntactic requirements.

The sentence 'My own personal view is that if you do have a terminal diagnosis, and are mentally sound, shouldn't you have the choice to take yourself out of suffering?' fits the transitive out of -ing construction. It has the structural pattern NP subject (you) + V1 (take) + NP object (yourself) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (suffering). The NP object 'yourself' is coreferential with the implied subject 'you', which is an atypical but acceptable type of NP object in this construction. The interpretation is a movement/extraction interpretation, where the action of taking oneself out is causing a change in state from suffering to not suffering.

MPs broke down in tears as they debated assisted dying for the first time in almost two years . Tory MP Siobhan Baillie began to cry as she shared the testimony of a man who had written to her about his mum , who considered taking her own life after becoming deeply ill . Ms Baillie said : " She also went on to plead for death in the final weeks , it took 16 weeks for her to die , effectively from starvation , and I mention this gentleman because he said that when my mum was dying ... " She began crying , adding : " This is hard . We all get these . " Ms Baillie said the man expressed his " bitter disagreement with the law " after his mum 's death . Fellow Conservative Tory MP and former minister David Davis recalled his mum 's " miserable " death from brain and lung cancer compared to a constituent 's father 's death , which he said was described to him as a " beautiful death " at Dignitas , Switzerland 's assisted dying clinic . He said : " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ extremely strict controls are put in place , so that no-one feels pressurised to end their life , I am supportive of the legalisation of assisted dying . " Tory MP Siobhan Baillie began to cry as she shared the testimony of a man who had written to her about his mum Former Tory minister Kit Malthouse hit out at critics ' arguments against assisted dying that made out the country was a place " teeming with granny-killers " . He added : " They do n't understand that the vast majority of the British people , they love their parents , they love their grandparents , they want the best for them . They agonise when they die . Go to the funerals , see them greeting each other at airport terminals . You 'll see the love there . He said no law would make assisted dying mandatory and that anti-change campaigners should not stand in someone else 's way . Every eight days a Brit travels to Dignitas for help to die .

The TV legend , who was unable to attend the debate because of her illness , told BBC Radio 4 : " Is n't it typically British that we give the pets we love a pain-free , dignified , private death but we ca @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Campaigners gathered outside Parliament as they chanted for a change in the law . Some 75% of the public support making it lawful for dying adults to access assisted dying in the UK , according to recent polling of more than 10,000 people , conducted by Opinium Research on behalf of Dignity in Dying . Join us for the Mirror 's new show Party Games as politicians spill the secrets of being an MP - while taking on the challenge of playing a well-known board game . In the programme on the Mirror 's YouTube channel , familiar faces from across political spectrum will do battle with reporter Sophie Huskisson . At the same time they will face questions on who they are , what they stand for and why they became a politician . In a relaxed tell-all chat over games including Kerplunk , Jenga and Snakes and Ladders , we hear about how they manage their work-life-balance , how they deal with social media trolls and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Party Games is available now on the Mirror 's YouTube channel with new episodes every Monday at 6pm . Those who oppose a change in the law have voiced concerns that legalising assisted dying could put pressure on vulnerable people to end their lives for fear of being a burden on others , and argue the disabled , elderly , sick or depressed could be especially at risk . Assisted suicide is banned in England , Wales and Northern Ireland , with a maximum prison sentence of 14 years . A Bill was introduced in Scotland in March - the third time members of the Scottish parliament will have considered the issue - with two previous attempts to change the law defeated . The issue was last voted on in the Commons in 2015 , when it was defeated at second reading stage by 330 votes to 118 . But it has been less than two years since a Westminster Hall debate on assisted dying took place , with one held in July 2022 . A report by MPs at Westminster in February warned that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is changed in part of the UK or on the Isle of Man or Jersey , both of which are crown dependencies and both of which are currently considering the issue . Dave Sowry , 67 , accompanied his wife Christy Barry , 62 , to assisted-dying clinic Dignitas in Switzerland in September 2022 after her years-long battle with Multiple sclerosis . In a final letter for her friends and family , which Dave posted for her on his way home , Christy said : " I 've had a very rich and full life but my MS has been rapidly and frighteningly worsening of late , I can not go on . My MS has crept up slowly on me over the past 10 years bit by bit removing more of my bodily functions ... So please do n't judge me harshly for making this decision to bring the curtain down . " Dave added : " I think she felt that life was closing in with no future other than the knowledge that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get worse . " Dave said they had to be secretive about going to Switzerland because of current laws banning assisted dying in this country . He had to have a formal interview with police when he came home but they decided not to take further action in the end . " I 'm here today at the rally because thankfully there does seem to be some momentum around having a proper , full and open discussion and debate in this country about what we as a society want , " Dave added . Jean Eveleigh , 44 , has an incurable progressive degenerative disorder Jean Eveleigh , 44 , who has an incurable progressive degenerative disorder Ehlers-Danlos syndrome , said all she knows about her condition is " as I get older , I get worse " . Jean , who uses a wheelchair , said : " I could end up needing to have a breathing tube , a feeding tube and tubes to be able to go to the toilet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ body that ca n't do anything for me . I could be like that for 20 or 30 years . That 's no quality of life . " She said the current law is " very discriminatory " as those who are physically and financially able can go to Dignitas in Switzerland . Addressing MPs , Jean said : " Nobody has the right to tell me that I have to suffer . I am not telling anybody else that because I want to have an assisted death , they have to have one . But everybody that is against it is telling me that they have decided that I have to suffer for an unknown amount of years just because they do n't want a law that says that they may be allowed to choose to die if they want to .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it describes the band's decision to withdraw from performing at a venue, which does not involve a causer causing a causee to move or preventing them from doing something through a specific means. The phrase 'pull out of performing' is more about the subject's own decision rather than an instance of the construction in question.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object between the verb 'chicken out' and the preposition 'out of'. Additionally, the phrase 'naming a date for the general election' does not function as a VP2[-ing] predicate that induces a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The verb 'chicken out' is intransitive and does not take an NP object followed by 'out of VP2[-ing]'. Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the sentence does not yield a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Feeling left out of knowing why the long-standing restaurant chain has such an iconic name , she went to check it out for herself . Looking at the exterior of the King Street eatery , the only one left in West Yorkshire , and all the burger posters in the front window , I was expecting Wimpy to be like an other fast-food joint . You go up to the till to order , eat out of cardboard boxes or get your burger in a wrapper , are provided with sauces in packets and drink in plastic cups . But I was stunned that it was completely the opposite . " Hi , are you eating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ asked as I entered the establishment .

" Let me take you to your table , " the polite server said . He immediately gave me a menu and asked if I needed anything to drink to start . Sorry , but am I in a five-star restaurant ? It felt like I was out in Leeds at a San Carlo chain . I was so impressed by the customer service from the jump and shocked by the real restaurant-style experience . It was really refreshing not feeling like you are in a dirty , chaotic fast-food eatery . Just because you want cheap junk food does n't mean that you can not have a lovely experience .

I smiled as I heard up-beat music playing and saw plenty of couples coming in for a lunchtime date . There was definitely a noticeably an older crowd , and at 26 years old I was no doubt the youngest one in the joint , which I was quite surprised about . I thought the American-style diner would be filled with noisy teens - but it was pretty pensioner-packed . Lucy was astonished that she was given a glass with ice in a fast-food joint ( Image : The Mirror ) There is a variety of options on the Wimpy 's menu ( Image : The Mirror ) It made me sad to see that the likes of KFC and McDonald 's packed at a similar time , but Wimpy 's had plenty of free tables which were impeccably clean .

And while you could argue that other chains offer a quicker service , you can get takeaways at Wimpy 's and my food came out at a reasonable pace - I waited about five minutes . The menu has plenty of choice from beef burgers , chicken burgers , no beef burgers , Whimpy grill , fish and chips , sausage , egg and chips , wraps , and a number of sides . The joint also offers all day breakfasts and a tea and cake offer for ? 3.95 . What 's more , there are a number of desserts and milkshakes . It really is an anytime of day place . Mirror reporter Lucy Marshall was excited to try Wimpy for the very first time - after years of walking past a local one ( Image : The Mirror ) For years I have gone to McDonald 's for the McChicken Sandwich meal - a classic - so I thought I would see how Wimpy 's own chicken burger compared . I ordered the Chicken Stack burger @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cheese , red onion , lettuce , in a white bun . I was buzzing when I saw that you can get sweet potato fries instead of regular ones - a treat often served in trendy eateries alongside your meal . Wimpy 's is n't so old-school after all ! I also ordered a portion of three chicken strips . The chicken strips were pretty average and tasted like any other I 've had at a fast-food chain , but the burger - wow . It was so tasty , and felt really fresh . Let 's be real , most of the time the burgers at fast food establishments have come from frozen or have been cooked as part of a big batch . This burger tasted like it had been cooked fresh just for me . It immediately trumped my go-to Maccies order . Why have I neglected Wimpy 's ? I can not believe I have never been before . My waiter could not have catered to me more - checking if I need any extra sauces , was keen for a dessert , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ paid at the till and my bill came to ? 18.05 for a drink , chicken strips , burger and fries . While this price is quite high for fast-food , it is evident that you are not just paying for a delicious meal , but the impeccable service . I would much rather spend a little bit extra for fresh food and great service than less but been stuck in a never-ending order queue , sit on dirty seats , surrounded by chaotic crowds . I can not comprehend why more people do not hype about Wimpy chains more . After speaking to my friends of the same or similar ages , they too had never had a Wimpy experience . I never see people raving about it on social media , and they should ! I really hope that the Wimpy name survives on our high streets for as long as possible as it is such a dark horse . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'left out of' as a phrasal verb indicating exclusion, not involving a causer and causee relationship or the movement/prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'left out of' as a participial phrase modifying 'Feeling', and there is no NP object or VP2[-ing] predicate that fits the transitive out of -ing construction. Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

Reporter Lucy Marshall walked passed her local Wimpy chain without going in for two decades - now , she has shared what she thought of the long-standing high street icon after trying it for the first time Lucy was delighted that there are plenty of chicken burger options on the menu ( It 's a sorry site in many high streets around the , UK as a number of long-running independent shops and eateries have disappeared , as well as big name brands such as Debenhams , Comet , BHS , and Woolworths - but old-fashioned fast-food chain Wimpy has survived them all . Although Wimpy is seen as something of a British institution , it actually originated in Bloomington , Indiana in the US , with the name itself coming from the J Wellington Wimpy character in the Popeye cartoon strip of the 1930s . The first UK branch launched in London in 1954 , and celebrated its 70th birthday on May 1 . At its peak the burger chain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of chains have sadly closed , but 61 eateries remain open , including in Essex , London , Buckinghamshire , Devon , Dorset and Yorkshire . Mirror reporter Lucy Marshall , who lives in Leeds , was shocked to learn that she had walked past a Wimpy , one of only two left in the entirely of Yorkshire , in her hometown of Huddersfield for years without ever going in . Feeling left out of knowing why the long-standing restaurant chain has such an iconic name , she went to check it out for herself . Looking at the exterior of the King Street eatery , the only one left in West Yorkshire , and all the burger posters in the front window , I was expecting Wimpy to be like an other fast-food joint . You go up to the till to order , eat out of cardboard boxes or get your burger in a wrapper , are provided with sauces in packets and drink in plastic cups . But I was stunned that it was completely the opposite . " Hi , are you eating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ asked as I entered the establishment . " Yes please , " I answered - expecting that he would ask what I want to order and pass me my order on a tray for me to take and sit down . " Let me take you to your table , " the polite server said . He immediately gave me a menu and asked if I needed anything to drink to start . Sorry , but am I in a five-star restaurant ? It felt like I was out in Leeds at a San Carlo chain . I was so impressed by the customer service from the jump and shocked by the real restaurant-style experience . It was really refreshing not feeling like you are in a dirty , chaotic fast-food eatery . Just because you want cheap junk food does n't mean that you can not have a lovely experience . I was delighted to get a glass with ice for my sparkling water as well as a knife and fork wrapped neatly in a napkin . Some people really do n't care about small things @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ think the old-school traditional style is much better than the rushed ' in and out ' method many eateries adopt in this day and age . I smiled as I heard up-beat music playing and saw plenty of couples coming in for a lunchtime date . There was definitely a noticeably an older crowd , and at 26 years old I was no doubt the youngest one in the joint , which I was quite surprised about . I thought the American-style diner would be filled with noisy teens - but it was pretty pensioner-packed . Lucy was astonished that she was given a glass with ice in a fast-food joint ( Image : The Mirror ) There is a variety of options on the Wimpy 's menu ( Image : The Mirror ) It made me sad to see that the likes of KFC and McDonald 's packed at a similar time , but Wimpy 's had plenty of free tables which were impeccably clean . While the interior is a little dated I think it works with the American-diner style @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the interior is perfectly fine . And while you could argue that other chains offer a quicker service , you can get takeaways at Wimpy 's and my food came out at a reasonable pace - I waited about five minutes . The menu has plenty of choice from beef burgers , chicken burgers , no beef burgers , Whimpy grill , fish and chips , sausage , egg and chips , wraps , and a number of sides . The joint also offers all day breakfasts and a tea and cake offer for ? 3.95 . What 's more , there are a number of desserts and milkshakes . It really is an anytime of day place .

" View his Instagram video here : He said he thinks that himself and his crew were set up with someone informing the gang of their movements . " They knew exactly where we were , what car , and where we were going to be at what time which leads me to believe we have been set up . If it was n't for the heroic manoeuvres of our driver I do n't know if we would be alive right now . We were on a busy motorway , the car in front had braked for us to stop and then the people hung out of the car windows with balaclavas and AK47s .

The successful DJ perfomring in California in 2023 ( Image : FilmMagic ) " Obviously as you can imagine it was like a scene out of fast and furious . I 'm giggling about it but I am broken inside .

There has long been gang violence in Brazil which the authorities have not been able to control ( Image : AFP/Getty Images ) " I have children at home , my wife is about to deliver our next baby in six weeks time , I ca n't risk being in a position like this .

If Dale McIntosh was under any illusions of what life would be like coaching Brecon , he did n't have to wait long to find out . " I knew it was different up here when I turned up to training and there was a John Deere tractor in the car park ! One of the boys had driven to training in that and then had to shoot off home to the farm , " said the Chief . The Pontypridd legend took on the role at the mid Wales club two years ago , after leaving Merthyr . Since then , the two-cap Wales international has inspired back-to-back promotions . When the Welsh Rugby Union introduced a competitive National League Structure in 1996 , Brecon found itself competing in the basement Division 8 Central . Now , amid changes in the Welsh game , the Parc de Pugh club will be playing in the Premiership next season . Of course , McIntosh could so easily have not taken the job at Brecon . " I was giving up rugby , " admits McIntosh . " I finished at Merthyr to look after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Zealand . " I had to redirect my focus on that . Rugby was way down the pecking order . Brecon gave me a phonecall and asked to meet , saying would I be interested in taking them up the leagues . I actually said no at first . " When I got back from looking after my mother , I was in a bit of a void so I said I 'd do it , but I wanted to bring my two sons in . Through being in rugby myself , I 'd missed my sons playing . " I owed it to them . That was one of the reasons I was finishing at Merthyr , to watch them play . They 're good boys so they fit in well . Logan McIntosh , Dale 's son , has also played for Pontypridd " They 've made new friendships and forged great relationships with the Brecon boys . They enjoy their rugby . The boys appreciate them as men and rugby players . " They know me as well , so they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with me . They know what 's expected of them . They 've really enjoyed it and hopefully they 'll continue to enjoy it . " With Brecon , we discussed realistic targets , which were to go up every year until they were where they felt they wanted to be . It 's all worked and paid dividends . " We 've had to work on the buy-in on the way , because a lot of people in Brecon are stuck in their way . They 're used to playing rugby at that level and it 's a huge commitment for these farmers . " They 're hard-working , honest guys and they 've got to make a living . That commitment has to be weighed up . It 's a lovely part of the world , they 're lovely people . " Dale McIntosh and his Brecon team celebrate In their first season in the Championship West this year , Brecon lost just two matches . Heading into the final day , they still had a chance of winning the title - only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Division 1 East to the Premiership , McIntosh has leaned on the locals while bringing in some outside talent - including former Wales and Cardiff hooker Kristian Dacey . " Kris will be staying on , " adds McIntosh . " A few injuries this year , but he 's looking forward to it . We 're just needing a bit of strength in some positions as you need that more as you go up the levels . " Smaller towns and villages wo n't have that unless they accept having people from outside . When Andy Powell was coaching , they accepted that a little bit but there 's still a bit of controversy . " I 'm just bringing good players in and the boys at Brecon know that . They soon forge good relationships and that 's why we 're all enjoying it . " Pontypridd legend Dale McIntosh However , despite that , McIntosh still feels there 's untapped talent to be found in Powys , although there are naturally challenges as you move up the leagues . " That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " We felt that we did n't want the Powys boys to have to go to Merthyr or Pontypridd to achieve their goals , like in the past . " We wanted them to be able to play at a very high level in a Brecon jersey . That 's where we were originally on it and where we still are . " Unfortunately , winning is a very complex thing . It takes a lot of commitment and lot of hard work , going to some very dark places . You need to commit but these guys are hard-workers - they 're farmers . " Their lifestyle is important to them . I had to try and make sure the rugby blended into their lifestyle . I 'll tell you now , I 'm losing a player this year who would be one of the first on the team-sheet . " But we 've got such a relationship that he would n't want to sell me short . He owns two farms and he just could n't do it with the work involved . He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ That 's life . " We need to look at where we are in this Premiership and , although we 're excited about it , wonder whether we 've gone a step too far . We 'll soon find out . Personally , I do n't think we have . " I 'd never take someone to waters that they could n't swim in . I know for a fact we 'll be fine in that league and we 'll challenge . We 'll have to bring some players in , but it 'll still be a huge contingent of Brecon and Powys players - far , far more than any other club in that division . " When McIntosh announced he was stepping down from Merthyr two years ago after six seasons in charge , he did so with real fears for the future of the game in Wales . Now , we stand on the brink of another big change , with the introduction of a new Elite Domestic Competition to sit between the professional game and the Premiership .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it involves the verb 'getting' with an NP object 'what' and the phrase 'out of putting in for that many games' does not fit the required VP2[-ing] predicate for the construction.

" When I got back from looking after my mother , I was in a bit of a void so I said I 'd do it , but I wanted to bring my two sons in . Through being in rugby myself , I 'd missed my sons playing . " I owed it to them . That was one of the reasons I was finishing at Merthyr , to watch them play . They 're good boys so they fit in well .

They 've really enjoyed it and hopefully they 'll continue to enjoy it . " With Brecon , we discussed realistic targets , which were to go up every year until they were where they felt they wanted to be . It 's all worked and paid dividends . " We 've had to work on the buy-in on the way , because a lot of people in Brecon are stuck in their way . They 're used to playing rugby at that level and it 's a huge commitment for these farmers . " They 're hard-working , honest guys and they 've got to make a living . That commitment has to be weighed up . It 's a lovely part of the world , they 're lovely people .

We 're just needing a bit of strength in some positions as you need that more as you go up the levels . " Smaller towns and villages wo n't have that unless they accept having people from outside . When Andy Powell was coaching , they accepted that a little bit but there 's still a bit of controversy . " I 'm just bringing good players in and the boys at Brecon know that .

" That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " We felt that we did n't want the Powys boys to have to go to Merthyr or Pontypridd to achieve their goals , like in the past . " We wanted them to be able to play at a very high level in a Brecon jersey . That 's where we were originally on it and where we still are . " Unfortunately , winning is a very complex thing . It takes a lot of commitment and lot of hard work , going to some very dark places . You need to commit but these guys are hard-workers - they 're farmers . " Their lifestyle is important to them .

A mum-of-two has opened up on the reality for her family-of-four as they 're forced out of their Birmingham home - and priced out of renting elsewhere . Although both her and her husband work , their only option will be to move in with relatives as they ca n't afford a mortgage or rent amid the housing crisis . The mum became tearful as she explained their landlord was selling their rented home in Acocks Green , and their only option is to move in with her in-laws . Every day , the couple look for alternatives but with the rising costs , they now face ? 1,200 - ? 1,300 in rent - a hike of almost ? 300 and a sum that would leave them with nothing . Times are already tough for the family , with the couple struggling with the soaring cost of their weekly food shop , bills and increased rent , which rocketed from ? 750 to almost ? 1,000 a month as the year began . Despite the increase , the landlord will be putting the three-bed up for sale at the end of the month . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she told BirminghamLive . " This is what is going on . People are having the basics ripped from under their feet . We have n't had a holiday for about four years , we do n't really go out as a family anymore . " Food shopping has gone through the roof , we do n't have any nice things - you just buy your meat and weekly bits and that 's it . If I 've had an ok week , I might say : ' Shall we get some chips from the chip shop ' ; it 's just crap . I worry for what it 's going to be like for my kids . " She insists " we 're one of the lucky ones " , as she tells devastating stories of friends evicted with nowhere to go but emergency accomodation . " I read the news every day , and the things I read on there , it 's like ' mortgage rates going down , housing is this , it 's that , ' but it 's not , when you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not . " I 'm just one out of 1,000s of people that this is happening to . Nobody has anywhere else to go . I can say it until I 'm blue in the face , that I 'm one of the fortunate ones .

" She speaks of families having to live separately and single mums forced to take their children into emergency accomodation . " It 's really sad times . When you talk to the real people , it 's sad , " she said . " A few years ago if you were in a rental property and your landlord wanted the house back , you could go and afford to go somewhere else . But even in a two bed or one bed flat , it 's nearly ? 1,000 a month , round the Olton , Solihull area . Even around Acocks Green you ca n't get anywhere under ? 1,000 .

I 'm one of the fortunate ones , I 'm trying to take this as a positive that I 've got amazing in laws and they 're letting us stay there . But if we had n't got that , I do n't know where we 'd go .

My husband was having to pay rent and a mortgage , bills and everything . We had to sell and literally walked away with virtually nothing .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'ruled herself out of standing' which involves a reflexive pronoun and a gerund, but lacks the causative or prevention interpretation typical of the construction. The context is about a decision not to stand for leadership, not about causing or preventing an action through some means.

" It 's quite remarkable that his own staff chopped his head off through briefing . I ca n't think of an occasion where the coup was carried out by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ SNP , which appears now to be the SNP , seems to be able to wake up one morning and say lets replace leader . To say that is bad for democracy is an understatement . " John Swinney announces his intention to run for the leadership . A senior government source said : " The question you need to ask is who is in control of the SNP if its not the leader of the party and the answer is Nicola Sturgeon , John Swinney , Angus Robertson , Ian Blackford , Liz Lloyd and a small but influential group bonded by their absolute antipathy towards Alex Salmond and determination to block him gaining any influence . " Swinney has been talking about unity but the truth is that for personal reasons these people will never find common ground with the Salmond wing of the party which wants to drop gender based identity politics and the Green Party , and return to sharp focus on the economy , public services and independence . " " Yousaf had to go and Kate Forbes also had to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ work with the Greens and so would also have been likely to team up with Regan , of whom she is a friend .

Kate Forbes MSP has ruled herself out of standing for the leadership Thursday April 25 Humza Yousaf calls a 10am press conference confirming he had ended the Bute House Agreement with the Green party after a car crash interview where co-leader Harvie had refused to accept The Cass Report into gender reform . Two hours earlier the Greens , summoned to the FM 's offical residence , faced total humiliation when their former SNP colleagues cheered , applauded and thumped the table after the FM axed them . A source told the Sunday Mail : " There was a decision before the full cabinet that the Bute House Agreement was to be terminated . " Patrick and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ handed letters from Humza and the rest of the cabinet members in the SNP were thumping the table and cheering . " These are people who were relying on our support less than 24 hours before .

He is dismissed by Scottish Labour 's Anas Sarwar , the Tories Douglas Ross and the Lib Dem 's Alex Cole Hamilton . Humza 's team confirms to the Sunday Mail that lines of communication have been opened between him and Ash Regan in a bid to secure her vote in a bid to survive . Regan tells us that she wants him to prioritise independence , Grangemouth and safeguarding women and children .

The plan to install Swinney as leader of the SNP and First Minister was enacted . Senior sources began briefing newspapers and broadcasters that Humza was resigning and Swinney was to take over . They were also told about a Resolution Foundation thinktank event in London the following day where Swinney was set to speak .. A source said : " At least two members of the government were determined at all costs not to allow a situation to develop which could see the SNP relying on Alba 's support.As much as Humza wanted to cast this as a deal with Regan and not Salmond , the undeniable reality is that Salmond is the leader of the party . " Very senior Sturgeon allies in the government and party made it clear that a deal with Alba could not go ahead under any circumstances . " If he had been stronger Humza would have told @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was no longer in control of his own destiny . ' Regan texts the FM asking him if they are meeting . The FM calls her and said her requests to give him her support are " very reasonable " . But within a few hours , Humza appears in Bute House to resign . Salmond later tells reporters : " The reason he did n't do a deal with Alba is because there are forces within his own party who stopped him doing it -- let 's call them the old guard . " Within hours MSPs and MPs including Stephen Flynn and M ? iri McAllan were backing Swinney despite the fact he had not even announced he would stand . He tells reporters he is considering it . A SNP source said : " It is incredibly stressful and disorientating to be the person at the centre of a political bun-fight and you need the people around you to be fighting your corner . Humza is going to wake up a few days from now and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tuesday April 30 Tory leader Douglas Ross announces he was withdrawing his party 's planned vote of no confidence in Humza Yousaf , saying " job done " on their plans to oust the First Minister .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('a trick can get drivers and motorists out of paying fines'). It involves a prevention interpretation, where the trick prevents drivers and motorists from paying fines. The verb 'get' fits into the category of verbs that appear in the V1 slot by means of nonspecific means. The NP object 'drivers and motorists' functions as causees who participate in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'paying fines'. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Thousands of Villa fans have flocked to Athens for the game and many more will arrive this afternoon . They 'll be hoping to return to Greece at the end of the month , but Unai Emery 's side have a big task on their hands to overturn the deficit . But this is not an insurmountable challenge for Villa . Here are just four reasons for optimism heading into Thursday night 's second leg showdown at the Karaiskakis Stadium . Villa are bound to make chances considering Olympiacos have shipped 20 goals in the 18 matches Jose Luis Mendilibar has taken charge of . Olympiacos have only kept one clean sheet in their last six home games in all competitions and have conceded four against Maccabi Tel-Aviv in the Europa Conference League quarter finals before then winning 6-1 away from home . They 've conceded two or more goals in eight of their last 21 home games in all competitions , including in both of their last two home matches in the Europa Conference League . Villa also scored twice without playing particularly well at Villa Park last week and even missed a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Emi Martinez would give Villa a big boost . It 's crucial that Villa do not concede the first goal and ideally , keep a clean sheet . Robin Olsen was excellent against Brighton on Sunday , but Martinez will give Villa a psychological advantage too . Knowing that they have the best goalkeeper in the world at facing penalties , a win by two goals could be enough to see Villa go through if the Argentina number one can pull off more heroics . Like Villa , Olympiacos also advanced to the semi-finals via a penalty shootout win away from home . Their ' keeper Konstantinos Tzolakis saved three spot kicks to book the Greek giants ' place in the final four . VILLA KNOW THE JOB IN HAND Villa have to come out and play against Olympiacos and most importantly , score goals . It might even be a blessing in disguise that they need to be on the front foot . Emery 's side will have to play a perfect game to advance to the final by winning comfortably in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Ollie Watkins , Leon Bailey and Moussa Diaby all have the quality to produce a goal out of nothing . It will be interesting to see how Emery selects his side considering Morgan Rogers and Youri Tielemans are both doubts . Will he play Bailey on the left and Matty Cash on the right ? Or might Tim Iroegbunam come into the side to allow McGinn to operate in a more advanced role ? All will be revealed when the team news comes out at 6:45pm ( BST ) on Thursday . EMERY 'S EXPERIENCES And finally , Villa have one of the most successful coaches in European football . With four UEFA titles , only two managers in history have won more . This is his 16th season in Europe and among his many success stories , there have been moments of disappointment . Losing at home to Olympiacos is one , but this is n't the first time he has been tasked with overcoming a two-goal deficit in an away second leg . Back in 2014 , Emery 's Sevilla side @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Europa League , winning 2-0 away from home in the second leg before advancing on penalties . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'opts out of meeting' which is a phrasal verb 'opt out of' followed by a gerund, but lacks an NP object that functions as a causee. Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Prince William and Kate Middleton have neither the " will or the strength " to " deal with ' the Prince Harry problem ' , " a royal expert has said , as the younger Prince makes his long-awaited trip back to the UK . Top royal commentator and former BBC royal editor Jennie Bond claims the " boot is on the other foot " following the Princess of Wales ' cancer diagnosis . Not only do Harry 's previously aired grievances that sparked a rift with the royal family now seem " utterly trivial " by comparison , William and Kate 's " frightening fight " means the future King and Queen are unlikely to have much desire for a confrontation with the estranged brother ..

Reasoning

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'priced out of housing costs' involves 'priced out of' followed by a noun phrase 'housing costs', not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Brits are rushing to book trips to Tenerife this summer ( Image : Getty ) Locals of the Canary Islands have been warned that British holidaymakers are reportedly still flocking to book vacations following tourism protests . Package holiday firm On The Beach told the Sun that they 've seen sales rise by a third compared to the two weeks before the protests began . Bookings are said to have increased by 18 per cent from 2023 as the areas of Tenerife and Lanzarote firm favourites among tourists due to their hospitality and weather . Almost 14 million tourists visited the islands last year which was a 13 per cent rise from the year 2022 . The Canary Island 's population is just 2.2 million and protests began after locals said they could n't afford to buy homes amid holiday rentals and accommodation increasing .

However , not everyone feels the same @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Samantha Hasala told the publication : " Lots of people are saying , ' We do n't want tourists here anymore ' -- but it is not really about British people .

" Leigh Buckingham from Lancaster told the Sun he was off to Tenerife in June with his family , saying : " I saw the protests but it has n't stopped me -- it actually reminded me to book . We love it there . " We go pretty much every year . Who can argue with lots of sun , sand and sangria ? " Zoe Harris from On The Beach revealed that Tenerife was their third most popular destination to book behind Majorca and Antalya in Turkey .

The only one that can provide something out of nothing is James Tavernier and that 's absolutely bonkers given that he 's a right back . I have to admit I find it hard watching Rangers at the moment . You never know what you 're going to get . They can be good but they can also be stinking .

A dad who chucked a can of lager at his girlfriend after a row over fixing a shelf has walked free from court . Matthew Darby told his partner to kill herself and branded her ' worthless ' moments after they argued over the household chores . The 43-year-old 's girlfriend soon fled with her young children to her sister 's home for refuge . But she was forced to barricade the family into a bedroom as violent Darby smashed his way into the property . It was only when police rushed to the scene and deployed a Taser that she felt safe to pull down the barriers she had built and leave the room . Darby sobbed as he was told he would not be jailed for his outburst . Wolverhampton Crown Court heard how Darby argued with his partner over her ' ability to fix a shelf ' on December 16 last year .

The woman grabbed her children as she intended to go to her dad 's home but Darby ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can of lager over her .

The mum later went to her sister 's home and heard ' banging ' at the front door at about 4.50pm . Darby - of Highfield Road , Tipton - smashed the windows ' one by one ' with the hammer before kicking the door and barging into the property . His girlfriend was ' frantic ' as she called police before the whole family fled to an upstairs bedroom . They ' barricaded themselves inside ' , with Darby telling how he would smash even more windows if they did not come out . He followed through with his threat , breaking windows and other items .

Darby was eventually Tasered , with officers moving towards him to place the dad in handcuffs . He then attacked two officers , putting one in a chokehold and hitting out at another . In a statement , the mum told how she ' no longer felt safe ' after the ordeal . She said : " This incident has left me feeling terrified for my safety .

The ordeal was ' out of character ' and ' uncharacteristic ' , with Darby now ' determined to change his ways ' , Mr Rashid added . Sentencing , Judge Fowler said Darby did a ' substantial amount of damage ' after forcing his way into the property . He had been ' tinkering ' with his medication at the time .

HOMEOWNERS are embroiled in a privacy row after a council allowed a huge ' church-like ' window to be included in a neighbour 's extension .

Miss Fitt is said to have told neighbours in Colehill , Wimborne , Dorset , she plans to practice her yoga there . But residents Rob and Margaret @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accused officials of failing to put up planning notices in their road ahead of granting it permission . They say had they been aware of the proposals they would have objected on the grounds of it breaching their privacy and being out of keeping with the area . Fellow residents Tim and Deborah James , who live next door , have complained that as well as overlooking their property , the development has blocked out sunlight into their back garden . It is the second similar case where council planners have faced criticism over a controversial development that overlooks neighbouring homes in recent months . In nearby Corfe Mullen Terry Selby has taken his case to the Local Government Ombudsman . He and wife Margaret were shocked when permission was granted to replace their nextdoor neighbours ' bungalow with a two storey building that now towers over their home . Mr Selby believes Dorset Council made a ' massive mistake ' and partly blames the work from home culture for a lack of cohesion that led to the decision . In Colehill , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ council has made a mistake . He said : " We were not informed of this planning application . " A notice went up in our cul-de-sac but not in the private lane where the three bungalows most directly affected by this extension are .

But we did n't see the notice and did n't have the chance to object and the next thing we have this bloody great big window looking straight at us . " It looks like a church window that is twice the size of the one that was there and is now much further forward . It looks straight into our property . " It is a monstrosity and not in keeping with the area at all . " It is quite concerning to think that this has been passed without anybody being approached about it . It is going to devalue our property . " The Colehill Parish Council did not object to the proposals but did express concern that local residents were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Next door neighbour Tim James , 63 , said : " I 'm not happy about it , it blocks our light out and the extension overlooks us , we have no privacy in our garden . " It 's been an absolute nightmare from the start . We 've had six months of continual hammering and drilling from eight in the morning since October and it 's making it a nightmare to live here . " They were sending us letters about the agreement which were quite threatening saying you must sign this within X number of days . " They said we had to let a surveyor who worked for them into our property otherwise if there were any cracks in our building we would n't be able to claim anything . " I 'm not worried by their threats but it does n't make it a nice place to live . " We have appealed against it the whole way through but nobody has taken a blind but of notice . The council does n't care . " Living @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ day is just ridiculous . " Mr Waddilove , 62 , and Ms Fitt declined to comment on the matter . Mr Waddilove is company director of an IT solutions business and , according to his LinkedIn , works as a senior programme manager at Solent University in Southampton . A spokesperson for Dorset Council said : " The application was advertised by means of site notices erected by the case officer on September 8 , 2022 . " This included a lamppost notice on Farriers Close , near to the entrance of the road . There was no suitable street furniture on which to erect a site notice closer to the properties in question . " The case officer visited the site , and judged that the proposed new window would not overlook the complainants ' property any more than their previous window .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('the players be able to deceive their way out of holding the case containing the Early Checkout Card'). It involves a reflexive NP object 'their way' which is coreferential with the subject 'the players', similar to the atypical types mentioned in (6b). The verb 'deceive' fits into the category of means by deception or trickery as in (2a). The interpretation is prevention, as the players are preventing themselves from holding the case by means of deception.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate, and it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'out of nothing' as a fixed expression meaning 'from a situation where there seems to be no possibility of success or progress'.

Millions of people across the UK are living with arthritis or other joint problems and are looking for ways to reduce the pain and ease symptoms . Depending on specific conditions , it cause issues such as pain , inflammation , joint stiffness and even difficulty moving . As is with many medical conditions , focusing on what you eat is one way to minimise the impact of arthritis , as reported by the Express . The Arthritis Foundation , based in the US , says following a Mediterranean diet is the ' best bet ' for managing symptoms . Their experts say while it is not a ' miracle ' cure , it is the ' ultimate arthritis diet ' . They said : " While there 's no miracle diet for arthritis , many foods can help fight inflammation and improve joint pain and other symptoms . " For starters , a diet rich in whole foods , including fruits , vegetables , fish , nuts and beans , but low processed foods and saturated fat , is not only great for overall health , but can also help manage disease activity . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because these are the principles of the Mediterranean diet , which is frequently touted for its anti-inflammatory and disease-fighting powers . " The foundation adds that studies show a Mediterranean diet can have the following benefits : Lower blood pressure Protect against chronic conditions , ranging from cancer to stroke Help arthritis by curbing inflammation Benefit your joints as well as your heart Lead to weight loss , which can lessen joint pain . As reported by the Express , to get the most out of following a Mediterranean diet , there are six types of food you should make sure you are eating plenty of . The Arthritis Foundation says oily fish is packed with " inflammation-fighting " omega-3 fatty acids . The best types of fish to eat for this include tuna , sardines , salmon , herring , anchovies , scallops and other cold water fish . It is recommended you eat between three to four ounces of fish twice a week . If you are n't a fan of fish , fish oil supplements can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ advise that eating a handful of nuts daily are beneficial - and those which are best include walnuts , pine nuts , pistachios and almonds . One study found that over a 15-year period , men and women who consumed the most nuts had a 51 per cent lower risk of dying from an inflammatory disease ( like rheumatoid arthritis ) compared with those who ate the fewest nuts . The Arthritis Foundation claims you should actually aim for nine or more servings of fruit and vegetables daily , more than the general five-a-day guideline . Fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C and vitamin K are also beneficial for easing arthritis pain . The foundation states : " Fruits and vegetables are loaded with antioxidants . These potent chemicals act as the body 's natural defence system , helping to neutralise unstable molecules called free radicals that can damage cells . " Research has shown that anthocyanins found in cherries and other red and purple fruits like strawberries , raspberries , blueberries and blackberries have an anti-inflammatory effect . " It is recommended to eat small red beans , red kidney beans and pinto beans . Beans are full of fibre and phytonutrients , which can help lower CRP - an indicator of inflammation found in the blood . Whole grains can be found in wholewheat flour , oatmeal , bulgur and quinoa . The foundation adds : " Whole grains contain plenty of filling fibre -- which can help you maintain a healthy weight . " Some studies have also shown that fibre and fibre-rich foods can lower blood levels of CRP , an inflammatory marker .

The sentence 'Tiger Woods admitted there was a "long way to go" to complete a peace deal in golf's civil war and hinted that his part in the process could rule him out of being Ryder Cup captain in 2025.' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject (Tiger Woods) + V1 (rule) + NP object (him) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (being Ryder Cup captain in 2025). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where Tiger Woods' part in the process could prevent him from being Ryder Cup captain. The verb 'rule' can be classified under the means of exerting force or pressure, and the NP object 'him' functions as a causee. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Tiger Woods was dealing with back problems the last time Valhalla staged the US PGA in 2014 and missed the cut ( Sue Ogrocki/AP ) Tiger Woods admitted there was a " long way to go " to complete a peace deal in golf 's civil war and hinted that his part in the process could rule him out of being Ryder Cup captain in 2025 . Negotiations between the PGA Tour , DP World and Saudi Arabia 's Public Investment Fund -- which bankrolls LIV Golf -- have been ongoing since the shock Framework Agreement between them was announced 11 months ago . The man who set up the deal , businessman Jimmy Dunne , abruptly resigned from the PGA Tour 's policy board on Monday saying that " no meaningful progress " had been made , while it has been widely reported that Woods was one of the players who vetoed Rory McIlroy 's return to that influential group . Tiger Woods @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the PGA Championship in 2000 ( Sue Ogrocki/AP ) " We 're working on negotiations with PIF , " Woods said ahead of the 106th US PGA Championship at Valhalla , where he beat Bob May in a play-off in 2000 . " It 's ongoing , it 's fluid , it changes day-to-day . Has there been progress ? Yes . But it 's an ongoing negotiation , so a lot of work ahead for all of us with this process . " We 're making steps and it may not be giant steps , but we 're making steps . " Asked about McIlroy 's admission that he and Woods do not see eye to eye on the subject , Woods added : " It 's good to see it differently , but collectively as a whole , we want to see whatever 's best for all the players , the fans and the state of golf . " How we get there , that 's to be determined , but the fact that we 're in this together and in this fight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about . " We 're trying to make the PGA Tour the best it can be day-in and day-out . That 's one of the reasons why we have arguments and we have disagreements , but we want to do what 's best for everyone in golf and the Tour . " Without those kind of conflicts , the progress is not going to be there . " Progress has also been slow on talks between Woods and PGA of America officials on the Ryder Cup captaincy , with the 15-time major winner favourite to captain the United States at Bethpage next year . " We 're still talking , " Woods said . " There 's nothing that has been confirmed yet . We 're still working on what that might look like . Also whether or not I have the time to do it . " I 'm dedicating so much time to what we 're doing with the PGA Tour , I do n't want to not fulfil the role of the captaincy if I ca n't do it . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ commitments to the PGA of America , the players and the fans -- I need to feel that I can give the amount of time that it deserves . " Woods , who was dealing with back problems the last time Valhalla staged the US PGA in 2014 and missed the cut , has played just twice this season and was forced to withdraw from the Genesis Invitational after six holes of round two . The 48-year-old made a record 24th-consecutive cut in the Masters last month , only to slump to a third round of 82 -- his worst ever score at Augusta National by four shots -- and finish last of the 60 players who made the cut . Tiger Woods ( left ) and Rory McIlroy do not see eye to eye on negotiations with Saudi Arabia 's Public Investment Fund ( Richard Sellers/PA ) " I can still hit shots . It 's getting around is more of the difficulty that I face day-to-day and the recovery of pushing myself either in practice or in competition days , " Woods said . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there after two days and did n't do very well on the weekend .

Liverpool Council is to take over two care homes it built for millions of pounds after a second operator pulled out of managing the sites . The local authority has confirmed that from mid-July it will take on interim control of Brushwood and Millvina care homes in Speke and Anfield after Southport-based Bloomcare indicated it would cease its operation .

Care staff will be able to transfer to the council and talks with the relevant trade unions will now start . Cllr Robinson said : " The exiting of Bloomcare as a care provider is deeply disappointing , and is sadly indicative of the challenges faced by councils and the care home market nationally .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'get out of' in a different context where 'discovering something brand new' is the object of the preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate with a causee.

In a picturesque village in Dorset , up a muddy lane and past a church , lies a converted barn - the contents of which will blow your mind . Even Sir David Attenborough , upon first viewing his friend Wolfgang Grulke 's vast collection of fossils - some dating back hundreds of millions of years - gushed that he was " lost for words " . The private museum is a cabinet of curiosities and houses more than 2,000 fossils , everything from prehistoric bones to rare ammonites , from all four corners of the world . Now Wolfgang , 76 , is looking to sell it all before he gets too old -but not just to anyone . It has to be to the right buyer ... preferably in the UK . " Very few museums in the UK have money , " explains the self-taught palaeontologist and fossil-hunter , who has hundreds of visitors to his fascinating barn collection every week . " They do n't have staff or money to run it , and a home for this collection would need a lot of space . Sir David Attenborough 's review @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) Wolfang 's book about pioneering fossil collector Mary Anning , which brings her to life using AI ( Image : Collect ) " That 's the problem with these kinds of collections . So , the countries that have this kind of money and empty museums are China and the Middle East . And what I 'm looking for at the moment is a home in the UK that can both exhibit it , and in an environment that challenges people to ask questions . " It 's hard to imagine anyone viewing Wolfgang 's astonishing museum would not be full of questions , as they cast their eyes across the cabinets filled with fossils , displayed in chronological order . " What we 've got in here , basically , is the history of life on earth covering 500 million years , " says the collector with delight . " Basically , if you look at the fossils in the corner , they are 500 million years old . And then it is a chronology that runs all the way through to that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ammonites died out . That was 66 million years ago . " To the right of the door is a large ichthyosaur - a now extinct marine reptile - frozen in stone . Wolfgang explains that this is a ' kamikaze ichthyosaur , ' because it collided into a rock 160 million years ago while diving through a shoal of Jurassic squid . All the bones are perfectly preserved , although the marine reptile has a damaged jaw from the impact . There is also a spectacular conglomeration of 18 species of heteromorph ammonite that he found in the French Alps . Wolfgang has been collecting fossils for 50 years ( Image : Collect ) At first glance this looks like a Surrealist sculpture of an octopus mutating into a saxophone , or like it 's wriggling and still alive . " It 's amazing , we found it about 10 kilometres from the road , " Wolfgang says . " It took someone 5,000 hours of work to excavate it . " Hetamorph ammonites are a type of ammonite that are uncoiled and unusual @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these in the world - including the largest one ever found , which comes from Morocco and is 1.5 metres tall and 0.5 metres wide . Born in Germany , Wolfgang moved to South Africa at the age of 12 , where his love of the outdoors began . But , for a man with such an incredible collection of treasures from the past , his career focus is quite surprising . Wolfgang , who has lived in the UK since 1974 , and in Dorset - appropriately near to the Jurassic Coast - since 2007 , had a successful career advising businesses how to take advantage of opportunities that the internet and new technology like AI would bring . " I was a Futurist by profession , " he says . " I worked for IBM for 20 years then I started my own business helping companies understand the future . My business was getting people to understand the importance of technology . So I was always , you know , talking about the next 20 years , the next 50 years and so on . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ juxtaposed with his prehistoric passions and hobbies , and the irony of this is not lost on him . " I am also a Gemini , which could explain it , " he laughs . " My big interests were in scuba diving and shells and fossils . I would go off to Japan or wherever and do some talks on the future and then take the rest of the week off to go diving or fossil digging with friends . " Mirror 's Lydia visited Wolfgang Grulke 's museum in Dorset ( Image : Lewis Denison ) Clearly his hobbies were pursued as vigorously as his career goals because Wolfgang 's library of fossils is simply breathtaking . He estimates that around a third of his collection he has bought , a third he has traded with other collectors and a third he has found himself . Celebrating half a century this year since the first time he went fossil hunting on a trip for his birthday to Dorset , which inspired him to begin his collection , in the 50 years since , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a fossil collector , so he wanted to go to Lyme Regis to collect fossils , " he recalls . " I did n't know what a fossil was and when he produced an ammonite out of a rock I was absolutely fascinated . " It was on this trip that he also learned about Mary Anning , the pioneering palaeontologist who famously sold fossils ' on the seashore ' in Lyme Regis in Dorset , from childhood onwards , back in the 19th century . He still has the postcard he bought that day which features a painting of her as an adult . The museum is a treasure trove of natural wonders ( Image : Collect ) " To our surprise , the owner of this house when we concluded the deal , told me that he was a direct descendant of Joseph Anning , Mary 's brother ! " he says . " Mary did n't have children . " Wolfgang , who has written books both on the future and on fossils , showing him to be an authority on both @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . His recently published book She Sold Seashells , builds a picture of the famous fossil finder 's life by using Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) to create images of her as a child - as there were none available . Mary Anning 's constant inquisitiveness is a quality he greatly admires and strives to awaken in visitors to his barn . " My biggest delight is when people come in here , probably not even knowing why they are here and they leave saying , ' I have never thought about the world like this , ' " he says . " It is that wow factor , and I think it is the mystery and the excitement that people get out of discovering something brand new , in sort of everyday objects , because I mean , especially in this part of the UK , fossils are ubiquitous . They are everywhere . I mean , they are in buildings , built into buildings and so on . " Wolfgang adores his collection 's ability to help people " look at the world in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ think that 's , to me , what I 've always enjoyed . It is the curiosity . That is something Mary Anning had , she kept asking questions . " It comes as no surprise to Wolfgang that his daughter , Victoria Grulke , 44 , does not share his passion for palaeontology . He says , " She has absolutely zero interest in any of this . I think it 's a common thing when parents are fascinated by whatever it is , you know , whether it is golf or whatever . You grow up with it , and you never want to see it again . " Lydia got to views the hetamorph amonite from Atlantic Coast of Morocco . ( Image : Wolfgang Grulke ) But he always feels his endeavours are truly appreciated when he is with his chum Sir David Attenborough . " We 've shared each other 's collections several times . You know , he comes here , and I go there , " he says . " I also collect tribal art from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ art . So we share interests in fossils and art . " Now his attention turns to the task in hand - finding a home for the staggering collection of fossils that has kept him busy for 50 years . " These are just rocks . They 're not interesting until you hear the story and every one of them has a story , " he says . " Whether it comes from Antarctica , from Japan or from Morocco , there 's a reason why it 's important . " What I 'd like to see maintained is the kind of environment where people will continue to tell the stories . I 've had people come in here who have never thought or heard of a fossil before , but they ask questions and find out about them . Without fossils , we would know nothing about the history of life on Earth . " Until a few hundred years ago , people thought the earth was 6,000 years old , that it was created on October 23 in 4004 BC . It was a religious @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only when we started looking at fossils , and trying to understand them that we now have a history that goes back 500 million years . " And who would have thought you would be able to experience a taste of it all inside a little barn in Dorset ? |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'pulled out of playing' which is a phrasal verb 'pull out of' followed by a gerund, but lacks an NP object between the verb and 'out of'. Additionally, it does not clearly convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the transitive out of -ing construction.

" We had absolutely none of that , just a week in a studio with the dude who made our favourite records steering the ship in the most hands-off but confident way imaginable , " he said .

Les Savy Fav frontman Tim Harrington has spoken to NME about the band 's return to recording with their new album ' OUI LSF ' , their first in 14 years -- and how it was shaped by his bipolar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comes following an extended hiatus , that saw Harrington turn his hand to writing children 's books and getting a " jobby " job as a creative director , while bassist Syd Butler and guitarist Seth Jabour joined the 8G Band ( house musicians on the talk show Late Night With Seth Myers ) , drummer Harrison Haynes focussed on fine art , and guitarist Andrew Reuland worked in film and television as a writer and editor . Harrison , however , alo endured " a rough period with mental health " after being diagnosed with bipolar during the time between Les Savy Fav albums . " I hear a lot of creative people , when they talk about mental health and getting it together and finally getting on meds , they 're like , ' Oh , the creativity is gone , I ca n't find it . ' For me , I had to come to the realisation that it 's always there . I 'm always me . It 's kind of cheesy , but sometimes what seems like nothing happening is actually just the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Although the band returned for occasional live performances during the hiatus from recording , it was only after a show at Primavera Sound in 2022 that things evolved into writing . With drummer Haynes unable to make the show , the band recruited stand-in Tucker Rule of post-hardcore veterans Thursday who they taught their songs for the first time . " All of a sudden we had someone who has n't played the songs and we were spending a lot of time rehearsing in my attic studio . Harrison lives in North Carolina so rehearsing always takes math , but Tucker was right in the neighbourhood . We were in the practice space in a way that we had n't for a long time . " Syd suggested we do a record , and honestly up until last year I was thinking , ' Maybe one song , maybe an EP ' . I had do it in the way that I wanted . " Ahead of the album 's release , Harrington spoke to NME about returning from hiatus , how his experiences tackling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the studio , whether or not the band 's return will be a long-term proposition , and why cat sex can be a handy metaphor . NME : Hi Tim . After your last album ' Route For Ruin ' , was there any intention for the break to be this long ? Tim Harrington : " It kind of just panned out this way . After ' Root For Ruin ' I wanted us to figure out a new way to write . Our band had learned to write music by just being in a practice space and living together forever , but with ' Root For Ruin ' and predecessor ' Let 's Stay Friends ' the process was more like , ' Let 's spend a month condensing that in a studio . ' After ' Route For Ruin ' I thought , when we write again I want to write with purpose . I want to write songs . " Also , I had a rough period with mental health . A lot of it had to do with trying to have a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ life . It was important to me to be able to do both things , but it seems like as an artist , chaos is sort of my go-to . Finding that middle space between chaos and misery was hard , and then it took me a long time to figure out , like , ' What do I want to sing about now ? How can I credibly sing about chaos when I spent most of the last 10 years trying not to have a life that 's in freefall all the time ? ' " So that took a while , but when we were writing the new record I found my theme and my voice , and the things that are interesting . There 's no disentangling them . A lot of the songs are about bipolar , they reflect the way there 's a lot of shit that 's horrifying and inspiring to me at the exact same time . This thing you love can also be the thing that makes you miserable . They happen at the same time , and they stack on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't have made sense to me . " Les Savy Fav ( CREDIT : Press ) You said that back around the time of ' Root For Ruin ' you were looking for a new way to write . Did you find it on ' OUI LSF ' ? " I think we did . Between that record and this record , I got a lot better at writing music . I now have a whole pile of electronic instruments , and I also make my own , and I spend a huge amount of time hypnotising myself with synthesisers . It turns out that all this stuff over the last 10 years means that suddenly I can do the recording . And then Syd and Seth had been playing every single day on a talk show , which simultaneously made them super , super technical , but also I think they were longing to do something less transactional , to sink their teeth back in . " There 's a little poster above my workspace that says , ' Ca n't do it how you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can ' , written over and over as a spiral into a terrified eye . That feeling had stuck with me for 10 years , and giving that up was what helped this record . We would get together and record , and decide if it 's good or bad later , so we ended up with lots of songs , some of them were n't good enough , but they all helped us with that thing of , ' just finish it ' . I 've always been inspired by a musician friend of ours who passed away a couple of years ago , Sam Jayne from the band Love As Laughter . Songs just fell out of him where we would take forever . We 'd have this giant pile of dirt and only one song . I do n't know if you 've seen the cover of the record ? " The front has the title written out as green shoots coming out of the dirt ... " And the back cover shows the roots underground . That 's like the way we used to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ live together . " Which comes back to what you were saying about finding emotional balance in your life and being comfortable with the conflicting middle ground . " Exactly , like you can hold two things at once , stability and chaos , inspiration and horror . The record 's got bipolar too in the way the first and last song bookend it . " The opener ' Guzzle Blood ' is pretty bleak lyrically , depicting a moment of total despair and lack of faith . " And then the last song , ' World Got Great , ' is like , embarrassingly optimistic . Being able to pull those things into one record that makes sense to me is important . A lot of the record talks about relationships and a lot of record talks about faith . For me , faith is like the articulation of love . The record opens with an abject disillusion of faith and then ends in a place of complete faith , and then there 's everything in between . On the song ' Barbs ' there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fucked by a cat ' . I do n't know how much you know about cat sex ? " Not a huge amount . " Cats ' penises have barbs that point in the wrong direction , so when they go in , it 's painful for it to come back out , which is why there 's that loud sound . The lyric in that song is about how relationships can be dreamy and beautiful , but also tough and painful , whether that 's with your band , someone you love , your family , whatever . There 's a lot of stuff in the record that has to do with that ... And then we talked about cat sex . " A lot of the songs look backwards , like ' Mischief Night ' which recalls a chaotic night out in Tijuana , and ' Dawn Patrol ' which is about partying back in the day What kind of emotions does writing about old times bring up ? " ' Dawn Patrol ' is one that Seth came to us with , mostly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ playing a show in some town , hanging out at that weird house that was way far the fuck away where there 's like 20 people living there . There 's a spoken word bit that was really inspired by Minutemen 's ' History Lesson -- Part II ' . It 's probably something I would have been embarrassed to do when I was younger , to just say , ' That was fucking awesome and I liked it . ' ' Mischief Night ' is more like a short story of a song about a pretty reckless night . We ended up staying out until dawn at a goth club in the back of an underground strip club in Tijuana . It was fun as shit . " So where does ' OUI LSF ' leave the band going forward ? " I do n't know , and I like that . Even though this record was more designed , it does n't always have to be like that . It 's got its pros and cons . On the one hand everybody needs day jobs , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ band all the time , but on the other side you can take 14 years between records if you need to . We 're in a space where I have no idea what happens next , and that 's fine , but when you 've been in a band for 30 years , or with a person for 30 years -- and I 've been both those things -- you 're never going to be untangled . " Les Savy Fav 's new album ' OUI LSF ' is out now via Frenchkiss/The Orchard . Comedian Rosie Jones has deleted her X/Twitter account due to a number of " hurtful " comments . Before deleting the account , Jones wrote the following message : " I 've not felt a lot of joy from this social platform in a long time , so to come on and see I 'm trending , yet again , is exhausting . " I could say comedy is subjective but the truth is the comments are hurtful . I used to love Twitter but I do n't care for this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her Instagram account that she had deleted her X profile , saying : " My god do I feel good about it . Still on Instagram , I just could not handle the cesspit of hate . I used to love twitter , but not what it had morphed into . It 's a no from me . " Speaking to The Guardian about the incident , Jones shared : " I 'd be lying if I said it did n't upset me , but luckily , I am surrounded by such a strong network of brilliant friends , family , colleagues who support me . " " Do I need a thick skin ? Yes , I bloody do . But I 'm able to switch it off , I do n't look at social media when I 'm on TV and I focus on the positives .

The Great Escape is sponsored by Barclays , which has been a source of controversy amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza because of the bank 's financial investment in companies that supply arms to Israel . Harrison has weighed in on the topic now , writing in a lengthy social media post : " Huge respect for the 100+ artists who have pulled out of The Great Escape in Brighton this weekend on the grounds of its sponsorship by Barclaycard , who are actively supporting the genocide and horrific war crimes in Gaza by investing in companies supplying arms to Israel . " " As one of the biggest music showcases in Europe , it 's important to recognise the sacrifice new artists are making by pulling out of potentially the most important show of their career so far , " he added . " At a time when it 's harder than ever to make a viable living in music , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ discovered by managers , labels , publishers , agents and promoters . And most of all , new fans -- the majority of who will not be entitled to ticket refunds . " Harrison then went on to address the bands who have not pulled out of playing the festival . " Play the show . But use your voice to call for an end to the horrors .

Earlier today , Brian Eno lent his support to the cause , writing : " Israeli leaders need recognise the impact of Palestinian-led boycott , divestment and sanctions ( BDS ) moment has had .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It mentions 'ran out of funding', which is a different construction where 'out of' indicates a lack of something, not the transitive out of -ing construction with movement/extraction or prevention interpretations.

Would-be disruptors determined to broaden access to private aviation with a new category of more affordable and greener aircraft they are sure will sell in the thousands -- and with orders aplenty from early adopters . It might sum up the anticipation today around advanced air mobility ( AAM ) but , rewind two decades , and it also describes the nascent very-light jet ( VLJ ) market . Spearheaded by Vern Raburn 's Eclipse Aviation , the segment embraced other new names such as Adam Aircraft , as well as established players Cessna , Cirrus , Diamond , and Piper . They believed their clean-sheet VLJs could fill the gap between high-performance piston types and existing light jets and grow the market by attracting air taxi start-ups and others new to aviation . Source : Eclipse Aviation Eclipse Aviation was founded by former Silicon Valley entrepreneur Vern Raburn It never lived up to the promise , though there were successes . Cessna , which had been making light jets since the 1960s , delivered almost 500 Mustangs from 2006 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ demand tilted to the larger M2 . Honda Aircraft 's HondaJet and Embraer 's Phenom 100 have also been described as VLJs , although , based on cabin size and range , they are perhaps more accurately light jets . There were plenty of ' never-quite-made-its ' . The 2008 financial crisis saw the demise of Adam Aircraft , along with its A700 design . Two other new ventures , VisionAire with the Vantage , whose original design dates from the 1990s , and Stratos Aircraft which makes the 716X , have flown prototype VLJs -- Stratos is currently amid a flight-test campaign -- but have yet to reach certification or production . Two of the most respected general aviation manufacturers , Austria 's Diamond and US-based Piper , made it as far as formally launching single-engined VLJs , prototypes of which they exhibited at shows in the late 2000s and early 2010s . But the D-Jet and the PiperJet Altaire were axed early in the certification effort because of lack of demand and funding . Source : Piper Piper 's Altaire was an early sector @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the new breed of entry-level jets that has proved an undisputed winner has been the Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet , which like the original Eclipse 500 , is a recipient of the prestigious Collier Trophy . Powered by a single Williams International FJ33 , the type marked its 500th delivery in 2023 after seven years of production and remains the sole live single-engined business jet programme . As for Eclipse , it has not quite gone away . After Eclipse Aviation 's demise , the Albuquerque firm that was the brainchild of one-time Silicon Valley executive Raburn was born again in 2009 as Eclipse Aerospace , later merging into One Aviation . In 2018 it went bankrupt again before being rescued in 2020 by the AML investment firm of British businessman Christopher Harborne . Last year , many were surprised when General Aviation Manufacturers Association figures showed two Eclipse 550 deliveries in the first quarter , the first acknowledged shipments since 2017 . While this appears to be a one-off -- most likely handovers of examples built before the 2018 bankruptcy -- Eclipse has been dropping @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are attending EBACE and while -- in response to enquiries from FlightGlobal -- executive vice-president Jeffrey Rochelle says : " We are not doing media or press releases at the present time " , he describes himself in his LinkedIn profile as " building the next generation of low-cost , low-carbon jet mobility " . The Eclipse 500 still has its fans . Around 250 examples of the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F-powered twinjets were produced between 2006 and 2008 , followed by around 35 of its Eclipse 550 successor from 2014 to 2017 . Almost all remain in service , most of them in the hands of a loyal band of owner pilots . There are , however , some fleet operators , including Channel Jet , based in the British Crown Dependency of Guernsey , just off the French coast . Founded in 2017 by David Hayman , who previously ran Eclipse sales for Europe , the company currently manages three Eclipse 500s on behalf of Channel Islands-based owners and offers them for charter on a Guernsey air operator 's certificate . Channel Jet describes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ jet travel is for the uber-wealthy " , stressing its service is an " affordable " jet air taxi service for as few as two passengers . Customers tend to be Channel Island residents or property owners travelling to other islands or " near Europe " for business , or to Mediterranean resorts for leisure . " We do a lot of flying into Biggin Hill . London is a strong market , " says chief operating officer Nigel Moll . The service has been a success in terms of introducing new customers to charter , says Moll . Because of that -- and the lack of availability of out-of-production Eclipse jets -- the company is now looking to broaden into larger aircraft . " Once people come into the market , they start wanting something bigger , so we are looking at diversifying the fleet , " he says . Other companies are benefiting from Eclipse 's enduring popularity with owner pilots , which has always been the brand 's core market . They include brokerage Aerocor , based near Las Vegas . The company specialises in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , including 23 Eclipses , more than seven in 10 of all those that changed hands . " We dominate the space in a way no other broker has been able to , " says co-founder Gavin Woodman . Aerocor identified the Eclipse market as " under-served " when it was established in 2017 , largely because the aircraft was out of production and receiving limited factory support , but also because the fleet of fewer than 300 in-service aircraft meant it was " not going to attract big competitors " , says Woodman . " We saw an opportunity to fill a blank . " He says Aerocor " helps clients with every aspect of the transaction " , including sourcing pilots , and arranging parking and insurance . It recently launched a management arm and manages two aircraft on behalf of owners . It also offers Eclipse training , reporting a 20% increase in volumes during 2023 thanks partly to " new and younger pilots stepping into the Eclipse space " . So , what of other VLJ projects in development ? Redmond , Oregon-based @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ market , although it is " not disclosing " a timescale , nor yet taking formal orders , says chief executive Carsden Sundin . Stratos has flown around 300h on the P&WC JT15D-5-powered jet , after notching up about 500h on an earlier , similar , but slightly smaller proof-of-concept prototype , the 714 . " We anticipate that in about a year from now we will be able to disclose a lot more , " says Sundin , who maintains that the success of the Vision Jet proves there is an appetite for single-engined jets . " It 's unquestionable that there is a market there , " he says . However , Stratos says it is pitching the four-passenger 716X , in terms of size and performance , more against twin-engined types such as the Phenom 100 and HondaJet . Despite the uncertainty over its certification timetable , Stratos continues to exhibit the 716X -- launched in 2018 and which flew for the first time in July 2020 -- with its next appearance scheduled for this July 's AirVenture in Oshkosh . The aircraft features a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) wide and 1.45m high . The certificated version could see the JT15D-5 replaced with a more modern PW535E engine , also from P&WC .

The Hickory , North Carolina-based outfit was formed in 2010 to resurrect the Vantage , a 1,500nm ( 2,800km ) -range aircraft designed by Burt Rutan in the 1980s . Larger than the 716X , but also powered by a single engine , the Williams International FJ44-3AP , the jet has still not flown , although an earlier proof-of-concept prototype notched up more than 500h before the original company 's demise in 2003 .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee, and the phrase 'making quick work out of tackling stains and areas of discolouration' does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'out of' here is part of the idiomatic expression 'making quick work out of', which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Before I jump into this review , it 's important to note that you 're not going to experience dramatic , instant results with any of these products . We all have days where we could really do with a brighter smile ( I know I do ) , but if you 're looking for whiter teeth for a particular occasion , it 's worth putting in the legwork a couple of weeks before the big day . My first impression of this product was how messy it was because I opened the jar and nearly spilt the entire contents over my bathroom . This whitening powder is very messy and has a finely milled , icing-sugar consistency that lathers into foam when applied to your teeth . This makes application tricky but I soon discovered that wetting your toothbrush and then dunking it into the jar is your best bet . 10 The powder lifts away surface stainsCredit : mia lyndon I expected the formula to have a gritty texture and bitter taste , but it 's very pleasant and has a near-identical consistency to a foamy toothpaste . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ toothpaste , so I first brushed my teeth with trusty AquaFresh , then followed up with MySweetSmile twice a week , as advised . After the first use , my teeth felt possibly the cleanest they 've ever been and looked slightly brighter . The pen dispenses a teeth-whitening gel onto the paintbrush applicator , which can then be applied to your teeth . This offers a good level of precision , making quick work out of tackling stains and areas of discolouration . Just like the whitening powder , it has a pleasant , minty taste and does n't taste overly harsh or chemically . I found the pen very easy to use -- apply the teeth-whitening gel , wait 10 minutes and then rinse away . I 'll give you one piece of advice though ... Do n't apply the teeth whitening gel when around other people , as you have to leave it in place for 10 minutes - which is not a good look . 10 Combat coffee stainsCredit : mia lyndon Other than that hitch , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the teeth and , unlike other whitening pens I 've tried , is non-sticky and lightweight , meaning I barely noticed it once applied . You can use the whitening pen up to three times a week , at any time of day . I found myself using it a couple of times a week after drinking a particularly strong coffee or a glass of wine . The whitening pen is enamel-safe and suitable for anyone with sensitive teeth and is powdered by PAP , a safer , less invasive alternative to hydrogen peroxide . Whilst some shoppers have raved about experiencing instant results , it took me a little while before I noticed the real difference Whilst some shoppers have raved about experiencing instant results , it took me a little while before I noticed the real difference . However , after my first application , I noticed that my teeth looked whiter and brighter overall . With continued use , the stains near the gaps in my teeth began to fade , which was an excellent result - and I 'm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you ca n't build new enamel , this serum uses nano-hydroxyapatite ( nHA ) to help remineralise it ( a process of reintroducing necessary minerals to your teeth ) , which helps strengthen enamel and reduce sensitivity . The formula also features theobromine , a natural alternative to fluoride , to promote tooth health and reduce decay . That said , the teeth whitening serum still needs to be used alongside your typical toothpaste and can be used daily after brushing . To use it , apply a couple of pumps to your toothbrush and brush for two minutes . Sadly , this adds to your daily brushing time , which I think is counterintuitive because overbrushing is a common cause of sensitivity . At first , this really put me off , as I always try to be careful with my gums by not overbrushing my teeth . And that aside , adding extra time to your toothbrushing routine is n't ideal if you 're in a hurry . 10 The formula is easy and pleasant to useCredit : mia lyndon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gentle to use . Put off by scary-sounding nano-hydroxyapatite , I initially assumed that this formula would be heavy and harsh . But this was n't true in my experience .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee, and the phrase 'making quick work out of tackling stains and areas of discolouration' does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'out of' here is part of the idiomatic expression 'making quick work out of', which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Before I jump into this review , it 's important to note that you 're not going to experience dramatic , instant results with any of these products . We all have days where we could really do with a brighter smile ( I know I do ) , but if you 're looking for whiter teeth for a particular occasion , it 's worth putting in the legwork a couple of weeks before the big day . My first impression of this product was how messy it was because I opened the jar and nearly spilt the entire contents over my bathroom . This whitening powder is very messy and has a finely milled , icing-sugar consistency that lathers into foam when applied to your teeth . This makes application tricky but I soon discovered that wetting your toothbrush and then dunking it into the jar is your best bet . 10 The powder lifts away surface stainsCredit : mia lyndon I expected the formula to have a gritty texture and bitter taste , but it 's very pleasant and has a near-identical consistency to a foamy toothpaste . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ toothpaste , so I first brushed my teeth with trusty AquaFresh , then followed up with MySweetSmile twice a week , as advised . After the first use , my teeth felt possibly the cleanest they 've ever been and looked slightly brighter . The pen dispenses a teeth-whitening gel onto the paintbrush applicator , which can then be applied to your teeth . This offers a good level of precision , making quick work out of tackling stains and areas of discolouration . Just like the whitening powder , it has a pleasant , minty taste and does n't taste overly harsh or chemically . I found the pen very easy to use -- apply the teeth-whitening gel , wait 10 minutes and then rinse away . I 'll give you one piece of advice though ... Do n't apply the teeth whitening gel when around other people , as you have to leave it in place for 10 minutes - which is not a good look . 10 Combat coffee stainsCredit : mia lyndon Other than that hitch , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the teeth and , unlike other whitening pens I 've tried , is non-sticky and lightweight , meaning I barely noticed it once applied . You can use the whitening pen up to three times a week , at any time of day . I found myself using it a couple of times a week after drinking a particularly strong coffee or a glass of wine . The whitening pen is enamel-safe and suitable for anyone with sensitive teeth and is powdered by PAP , a safer , less invasive alternative to hydrogen peroxide . Whilst some shoppers have raved about experiencing instant results , it took me a little while before I noticed the real difference Whilst some shoppers have raved about experiencing instant results , it took me a little while before I noticed the real difference . However , after my first application , I noticed that my teeth looked whiter and brighter overall . With continued use , the stains near the gaps in my teeth began to fade , which was an excellent result - and I 'm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you ca n't build new enamel , this serum uses nano-hydroxyapatite ( nHA ) to help remineralise it ( a process of reintroducing necessary minerals to your teeth ) , which helps strengthen enamel and reduce sensitivity . The formula also features theobromine , a natural alternative to fluoride , to promote tooth health and reduce decay . That said , the teeth whitening serum still needs to be used alongside your typical toothpaste and can be used daily after brushing . To use it , apply a couple of pumps to your toothbrush and brush for two minutes . Sadly , this adds to your daily brushing time , which I think is counterintuitive because overbrushing is a common cause of sensitivity . At first , this really put me off , as I always try to be careful with my gums by not overbrushing my teeth . And that aside , adding extra time to your toothbrushing routine is n't ideal if you 're in a hurry . 10 The formula is easy and pleasant to useCredit : mia lyndon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gentle to use . Put off by scary-sounding nano-hydroxyapatite , I initially assumed that this formula would be heavy and harsh . But this was n't true in my experience . Instead , the serum lathers into a soft , fine foam and has a pleasant , subtle taste . According to MySweetSmile , the serum can provide instant results alongside varying results with continued use . I certainly did n't experience results straight away , but I have n't complained about my teeth over the past two weeks I certainly did n't experience results straight away , but I have n't complained about my teeth over the past two weeks , since I began using it .

When booking a plane ticket it 's usually good sense to customise your seat to meet your travel requirements , which is what one traveller opted to do .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to be a colloquial expression about choosing or excluding items, not fitting the transitive out of -ing construction criteria.

Aston Villa ended their 2023/24 season with a 5-0 defeat against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park . Unai Emery 's side came into the game having already qualified for the Champions League on Tuesday night following Tottenham 's defeat to Manchester City and were unable to move up or down from fourth position this afternoon . After beating Palace 3-1 at Villa Park back in September , Villa were looking to complete the league double over the Eagles for the first time since 1980-81 . But Oliver Glasner has made an excellent impact at Palace , taking 16 points from a possible 18 in their previous six top-flight games . The hosts also had the incentive of equalling a Premier League club record points total of 49 , from 1992-93 and 2018-19 . They started on the front foot and opened the scoring through Jean-Philippe Mateta in the ninth minute , as the striker finished past Robin Olsen after being played in on goal by Michael Olise . Emery made four changes from the side which drew 3-3 with Liverpool on Monday night , with Olsen coming in for Emi Martinez . Leon Bailey @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his third league game of the season . Calum Chambers and Clement Lenglet also came into the side . Villa made numerous chances to restore parity shortly after falling behind , as Moussa Diaby and Ollie Watkins both passed up on good opportunities . But Palace punished the visitors in the 39th minute when Mateta grabbed his second by turning in Daniel Munoz 's cross from the right wing . Palace started the second half like they ended the first and bagged their third in the 54th minute when Eberechi Eze beat Olsen at his near post from the edge of the box . Mateta then completed his hat-trick just after the hour mark by slamming across the Swede and into the far corner from close range . After Mateta was denied his fourth of the afternoon by a marginal offside call , Eze netted Palace 's fifth of the day , beating Olsen from outside the box . Robin Olsen Olsen came into the side while Martinez was not included in the squad . It was his 10th appearance of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 4 Ezri Konsa Konsa played from right-back again this afternoon , but had the tough task of keeping a lid on Eze. 4 Diego Carlos Carlos was caught out on a few occasions when Mateta and Eze combined in and around the box .

This was Lenglet 's last appearance for Villa before he returns to Barcelona - he stepped up when Emery needed him earlier in the season . 4 Lucas Digne Digne has been one of the underrated stars of Villa 's season , but like his teammates , he struggled this afternoon . 4 Calum Chambers It might well have been Chambers ' final appearance for Villa . He played in the double pivot alongside Luiz. 4 Douglas Luiz Luiz played a good ball over the top just after Villa fell one goal behind , but Diaby could n't convert . He picked up a booking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Moussa Diaby Diaby had Villa 's best chance of the game when he went one-on-one with Dean Henderson , which he missed . 4 John McGinn McGinn was booked early on and had to watch his step from thereon .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'priced out of visiting the castle' involves 'priced out of' followed by a gerund, but the subject 'no resident' is not causing the action, nor is there a clear causer or causee relationship. Additionally, it does not clearly convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'priced out of visiting the castle' does not involve a V1 verb that fits the categories described (e.g., deception, force, persuasion, etc.), and the NP object 'no resident' does not clearly function as a causee in the event described by 'visiting the castle'. Additionally, the interpretation does not clearly align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations typical of the construction.

Equities rose Monday in Asia , extending a rally in New York that saw the Dow close at a record high , with sentiment boosted by China 's plan to support its struggling property sector and hopes for a US interest rate cut . The announcement out of Beijing on Friday provided a much-needed boost to the country 's ailing developers , many of whom are drowning in a sea of debt . The multibillion-dollar plan -- as well as an easing of deposit requirements for buyers -- fuelled optimism for the outlook in the world 's number-two economy , which has been hobbled by the property crisis . While analysts have warned the package of proposals was still too small to solve the problem and might not go far enough , traders continued to buy up risk assets . " We believe the policy package is just the beginning of the central government 's efforts to turn the sector around , " said Nomura Holdings analysts . " We believe the swift introduction of the policy package with arguably limited implementation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alleviate the downward spiral of the property sector . " The positive start to the week came after the Dow ended above 40,000 for the first time on Friday , while the S&P 500 also rose . Investors are now looking forward to the release Wednesday of minutes from the Federal Reserve 's May policy decision , hoping for some insight into the thinking of decision-makers . The release comes after data last week showed inflation easing in April , reviving hopes the central bank would cut rates twice this year . That came after rising more than expected in the previous three months . Analysts forecast two reductions before January , with more over the next two years . However , Fed governor Michelle Bowman said she thought borrowing costs should remain elevated in order to make sure officials have prices under control , and warned she would support another hike if data came in above estimates . " My baseline outlook continues to be that inflation will decline further with the policy rate held steady , but I still see a number @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she said . " There is also the risk that the loosening in financial conditions since late last year and additional fiscal stimulus could add momentum to demand , stalling any further progress or even causing inflation to reaccelerate . " While the current stance of monetary policy appears to be at a restrictive level , I remain willing to raise the target range for the federal funds rate at a future meeting should the incoming data indicate that progress on inflation has stalled or reversed . " The prospect of US interest rates coming down boosted gold prices to another record of $2,440.59 -- topping its previous all-time high seen last month -- as lower borrowing costs make the precious metal more attractive . The gains have also been fuelled by its safe-haven status after news that a helicopter carrying Iran 's President Ebrahim Raisi had been involved in an accident .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, 'backed out of' is used intransitively without an NP object, and the phrase 'selling her stake' is not a VP2[-ing] predicate that the NP object is being caused to move out of or prevented from. Therefore, it does not exhibit the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'backed out of' which is a phrasal verb indicating withdrawal from an action, not involving a causer and causee relationship or the specific interpretations (movement/extraction or prevention) characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('price people out of visiting'). It implies a prevention interpretation where the action of pricing is preventing people from visiting, which aligns with the transitive out of -ing construction's characteristics. The verb 'price' can be seen as a means to achieve a goal (preventing visits), and the NP object 'people' functions as a causee who is affected by the action.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate structure. Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes an event where Wales failed to qualify for Euro 2024, which is unrelated to the construction's properties.

Michael Gove is stepping down as an MP after nearly 20 years , saying his service as a minister across five government departments had been the honour of his life . In a letter posted to social media , he acknowledged the toll it had taken on his personal life and admitted to having made mistakes during his career . On the campaign trail today , Rishi Sunak visited Northern Ireland while Sir Keir Starmer went to Scotland -- where Labour hopes to win dozens of seats from the Scottish National Party , telling voters north of the border that they can decide who runs the government . Starmer also claimed that his green power plan would " bring down energy bills for good " . Continuing his tour of the home nations , Sunak accused Labour of a " reckless " energy policy that would push up costs for families in the drive for net zero . Rishi Sunak in Belfast on the campaign trail 1 hour ago 9.57pm Michael Gove described himself as " over the hill " when he was interviewed earlier this week and was asked if he still had any leadership ambitions . He told Times Radio : " I hope Rishi stays as prime minister after the general election . I hope he stays as leader of the Conservative party for as long as possible . By the time that he stands down , in the words of JFK , the torch will have passed on to a new generation . " Gove said he wanted to continue to help the Tories win the general election and that the party had made strides in education and welfare . He added : " Come the election there will be big questions about tax , migration and security where I think the Conservatives have the answers and Labour do n't . " Among those paying tribute to Gove was the hereditary peer Ralph Palmer , the 12th Baron Lucas , who owns and publishes The Good Schools Guide . He told Gove on X/Twitter : " You achieved great things in education and environment in particular -- would that you had spent longer in justice . " Simon Dudley , a founder of Holyport College , which opened in 2014 as the UK 's first state boarding free school , said : " Thank you for everything you have done , Michael . For making schools like Holyport College possible . What a legacy . " 1 hour ago 9.29pm Dame Eleanor Laing , the deputy speaker of the House of Commons , has paid tribute to Sir Lindsay Hoyle , saying he had helped to restore kindness and humour to parliament . The Conservative MP for Epping Forest , who was first elected during Labour 's landslide win 1997 , is standing down at the next election and has served as deputy speaker for over a decade . She said in her farewell speech : " At the end of this last Parliament , this House of Commons was in danger of going the wrong way . " And Sir Lindsay Hoyle has restored dignity , decency , kindness and humour to this place , with a light touch and his own extraordinary personality . " I know , because I 've seen it every day , how much effort he has put into doing that and long may he continue . " In February , Sir Lindsay , who was elected speaker in 2019 , faced pressure from the Scottish National Party to resign following his handling of a Labour amendment during an opposition day debate on the war in Gaza . 2 hours ago 9.17pm Michael Gove has been described as the Conservative Party 's " most original thinker in a generation " and an effective minister who pushed through consequential reforms . Francis Elliott , a political biographer who wrote about David Cameron 's coalition government , said he thought Gove 's departure was purely personal and that there was no malice behind it . Gove served as education secretary , chief whip and justice secretary under Cameron . " He is certainly the Tories ' most original thinker in a generation and the intellectual engine behind David Cameron , and potentially even Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak . It 's a huge moment that Michael Gove is leaving , " said Elliott , a former political editor of The Times . He added : " Gove was a deep thinker and an effective minister who pushed through some really genuinely consequential education reforms and he backed rehabilitation when that was unfashionable as justice secretary . " Gove is said to be supportive of Sunak HENRY NICHOLLS/AFP Asked if Gove 's stepping down was an indictment on Sunak 's leadership of the party , Elliott told Sky News : " His letter is extremely supportive . Gove made an art form the weaponising of being polite but actually , on this occasion , he really is being supportive . " He added that he thought Gove did n't " really fancy five years of opposition , if that 's what 's coming , and I think that is what he does think is coming . There is a time and tide to these things and he knows that " . He continued : " I do n't think there is any malice in his timing . He made reference to the toll it had taken on him . " 2 hours ago 9.01pm Rishi Sunak has paid tribute to Michael Gove , saying he was " one of the most transformative cabinet ministers of recent times " . The prime minister added : " His radical reforms as education minister have made real and lasting change with children in England now the best readers in the western world . He brought dynamism to our Levelling Up agenda , ensuring we spread opportunity no matter where you live and he has been a stalwart guardian of our precious Union . " I want to thank him for his dedicated public service to his constituents and his country , his relentless energy and ideas around the cabinet table and on a personal level , I want to thank him for his generous support and wise counsel . " The government and the country will be poorer without him on the front line of politics and I wish him all the very best for the future . " 2 hours ago 8.40pm Dame Andrea Leadsom has announced she will not run for re-election , saying serving as an MP for the past 14 years had been the greatest honour . In a letter shared on social media , the one-time Tory leadership hopeful said : " Since my first days in the House of Commons , I have strived to serve my country , from reforming bank regulation in the wake of the financial crisis , both on the Treasury Committee and as City Minister , to leading the charge to reform of the EU and when that was clearly impossible , to fighting for Brexit and then working as Defra Secretary to publish the first 25-Year Food and Farming , and Environment Plans . " As Leader of the Commons , I led the creation of the Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme , to make Parliament a place where everyone would be treated with dignity and respect , and I also brought forward legislation for the Restoration and Renewal of the Houses of Parliament . I hope that both will , in time , result in even greater global regard for this iconic home of what is , I believe , the world 's greatest democracy . " In 2016 she was considered a strong challenger for the Tory leadership but withdrew after an interview with The Times in which she was quoted as saying motherhood gave her a better outlook on politics than Theresa May , who would go on to win the contest unopposed . 3 hours ago 8.13pm The South Thanet MP , who lost all four limbs to sepsis , returned to the Commons only two days ago JACK TAYLOR/GETTY IMAGES Craig Mackinlay , the self-styled Bionic MP , said he cried this morning as he drafted his statement declaring he would not be standing for re-election . The South Thanet MP , 57 , made a triumphant return to the Commons on Wednesday equipped with his new prosthetic arms and legs . He explained that last year it became necessary to have a quadruple amputation after he went into septic shock . Mackinlay told Times Radio he had hoped this week would be the start of a phased return to work and that he would be able to do his duties in full by the autumn , when the general election was expected to have been held . He told the presenter Cathy Newman that since Rishi Sunak called the snap election : " I had 36 hours of the most intense soul-searching you could ever have . There were a few tears this morning when I was drafting my statement . " Mackinlay added : " My heart was like ' yeah let 's do this again ' but my head was saying the campaign is going to be gruelling and life in Westminster is gruelling . " He said : " Being in parliament is like a drug you do n't want to give up -- it 's got such a buzz about the place . " Mackinlay said the adulation and kindness shown to him in the chamber on Wednesday had been one of the best moments of his life . " I had hoped it would be the start of a phased return to parliament but it turned out to be my last hurrah . It 's a good high to go out on , " he said . 3 hours ago 7.46pm Michael Gove , the Secretary of State for Levelling Up , Housing and Communities of the United Kingdom , has confirmed that he will stand down in the upcoming General Election . The Conservative MP for Surrey Heath announced his resignation on X/Twitter . He shared his resignation letter in which he expressed gratitude to past prime ministers , including Rishi Sunak , for the opportunity to further his commitments to " levelling up " . Gove said that serving as a minister had been the honour of his life but acknowledged the cost to his personal life . " I also know the toll office can take , as do those closest to me . No-one in politics is a conscript . We are volunteers who willingly choose our fate . And the chance to service is wonderful . But there comes a moment when you know that it is time to leave . " During his career Gove , 56 , has served as education secretary , chief whip , justice secretary , environment secretary and , most recently , fulfilled the brief for housing , communities and levelling up . Controversially , he withdrew his support for Boris Johnson , who was preparing to stand in the 2016 Tory leadership contest . Gove announced he was standing instead . The election was won by Theresa May . He said in his letter : " Throughout my time in politics , although I have undoubtedly made mistakes , I have always tried to be a voice for those who have been overlooked and undervalued . " I have tried to fight for greater social justice . My education reforms were designed to build a country where everyone -- no matter their background -- can become the authors of their own life stories . For me that is what being in parliament and being in government is all about . " He also said he supported Rishi Sunak 's leadership of the Tory re-election campaign and that he exemplified " patriotism , hard work , sense of selfless service and clarity of purpose which are the very best virtues of our party " . Gove added : " Rishi has the plan our country needs at a time of global insecurity and growing challenge . He also has the policies which will guarantee a brighter , more prosperous future . I will do everything I can to support him , and every Conservative candidate , in this election . " In his letter , Gove spoke about the privilege of serving as an MP . He said : " As a child in Aberdeen , I could never have imagined I would have the opportunity to sit in the Commons , let alone around the Cabinet table . " Michael Gove led Boris Johnson 's Vote Leave campaign in 2016 STEFAN ROUSSEAU/PA Gove said that while serving was " wonderful " , there comes a time when " you know that it is time to leave . " Speaking fondly of his 19-year tenure , he claimed to have saved A&E services in Surrey Heath , including funding for a new state-of-the-art hospital to replace outdated infrastructure . During the Covid-19 pandemic , he reflected on supporting the former prime minister Boris Johnson in delivering the Brexit deal as leader of the Vote to Leave campaign . Gove added that as Secretary of State for Levelling Up , he was able to legislate and act to " make buildings safer " following the Grenfell tragedy and was " pleased " to be able to introduce wide-ranging reforms on leasehold and social housing . 3 hours ago 7.36pm Rishi Sunak 's heart is very much in this election campaign and he is not thinking about a return to his life in California , an outgoing minister has said . The Northern Ireland secretary Chris Heaton-Harris , who is standing down as an MP , was out campaigning with the prime minister in Belfast today when he was beset by another communications difficulty . Standing in the city 's Titanic Quarter , a journalist was filmed asking Sunak whether he was captaining a sinking ship , given his party 's current struggles in the polls . The Labour Party later released a short video on social media of the prime minister being asked the question with added music from the film Titanic . Heaton-Harris told Times Radio he thought it was rude to the people of Belfast to associate the Titanic Quarter with failure , given it is a thriving part of the city . Asked by presenter Cathy Newman if Sunak 's heart was in the campaign or in California , where he has a home he could return to should he lose the election , the minister said : " Absolutely , his heart is very much in the campaign . He 's got tonnes of energy . " He was excellent this morning . I 'm very happy he was here meeting the people of Northern Ireland . " A former Tory minister has told colleagues that " compassionate conservatism " is the way back into government for their party . Stephen Hammond , who served as a health minister in the governments of Theresa May and Boris Johnson , is not standing for re-election as MP for Wimbledon . He was first elected in 2005 . Delivering his farewell speech , he told the Commons : " One of the things that I think is important is that , as members of parliament , we should remember compassion . What we do and how we help is hugely valuable . " He added : " Compassionate conservatism is the way forward for our party and , I tell you , it is the way back for our party , back to government . " Tim Loughton , a former junior minister in the department of education , also called for the next government to have a renewed focus on children in care . " We should never forget that children and young people are 20 per cent of the population but 100 per cent of our future , and we lose sight of that at our peril , " he told the chamber in his valedictory speech . " And we have not done enough on children 's social care , and it is a false economy not to be doing it as early as possible , and not to be working on prevention rather than having to firefight the symptoms of neglect . " Loughton is standing down as MP for East Worthing and Shoreham , where he was first elected during the Labour landslide in 1997 . 6 hours ago 5.25pm Harriet Harman , who is standing down as an MP after more than 40 years , said Sir Keir Starmer would be surrounded by powerful women if Labour are elected into government . Speaking on Times Radio , she said that much in Westminster had changed since she took her seat in 1982 and recalled how the government 's maternity services board was composed entirely of men . " There are a lot of very powerful women who will be in Keir 's team , though we must always keep an eye on the gender balance , " she told the presenter Cathy Newman . Harman , who has long been a campaigner for women 's rights , said Labour 's next leader should be a woman but that it would not be for some time as she hoped Starmer would be prime minister for many years to come . Earlier this afternoon , in her farewell speech in the Commons , she paid tribute to the constant support provided by her late husband , Jack Dromey , and revealed she had spoken in the chamber 9,880 times . MPs responded by shouting " more " . Harriet Harman has spent more than 40 years in politics TIMES PHOTOGRAPHER JACK HILL 6 hours ago 5.15pm The prime minister has appeared jubilant and enthusiastic about the campaign . He said : " I love doing this . I 've been doing it since the beginning of the year -- I 've been out and about pretty much two , three days a week since the beginning of the year -- and I love it . " I love talking to people , I love having the debate , I love having the Q&A with people , answering their questions , making sure they know what I 'm about , and I 'm really confident that over the next few weeks we 're going to have a really good conversation as a country about the future we want . " 5.05pm May 1 Of the current 119 MPs to stand down , 76 are Conservatives -- but four of the seven independent MPs were elected as Tories . Yesterday evening , the figure increased by two without any more statements , as two previously Conservative outgoing MPs , Matt Hancock and Bob Stewart , had their whip restored as a " goodwill gesture " . In 1997 , the directly comparable figure is 72 , the highest Tory exodus since the Second World War . That has not been surpassed . 6 hours ago 4.55pm Streeting said Labour would ensure young people were ' even less likely to smoke than they are to vote Tory ' IAN FORSYTH/GETTY IMAGES Labour have made their first public comments committing to pass the prime minister 's flagship smoking bill , which will not have time to complete its parliamentary process before the election . Rishi Sunak said earlier that his failure to get the Tobacco and Vapes Bill through parliament was " evidence of the bold action I 'm prepared to take " . Wes Streeting , the shadow health secretary , has responded : " If Rishi Sunak 's idea of bold leadership is to crumble before his party and surrender his landmark smoking bill , it 's no wonder the country is in such a mess . " Labour remains committed to the policy . We will make sure that young people today are even less likely to smoke than they are to vote Tory . " 6 hours ago 4.47pm Ben Wallace implored MPs to increase defence spending in the next parliament and told them he was frightened by the prospect of Britain not being able to defend itself properly . He served as defence secretary from 2019 until last year and oversaw much of the government 's response to Russia 's invasion of Ukraine . The former captain in the Scots Guards , 54 , is not standing for re-election . In his final Commons speech , he said : " Please , invest in defence , make sure it 's core , do n't let leaders say things like ' when economic conditions allow ' . We do n't say that about health , we do n't say that about education . " Because I am frightened , having read so much intelligence for so many years , that by the end of this decade if our armed forces and our security services are not match-fit for the threat that is coming our way we will only have ourselves to blame . " And it is our children that might have to go and fight for us , and they deserve to be as protected as possible with the best equipment and the best allies . " 7 hours ago 4.05pm Rishi Sunak has been mocked by a former senior Tory figure after making an appearance at the Titanic Quarter in Belfast . Baroness Davidson of Lundin Links , who led the Scottish Conservatives until 2021 , referenced previous perceived mishaps in the first few days of campaigning . 7 hours ago 4.00pm The number of migrants who have arrived by small boat this year hit 10,000 today . It is the first time the figure has reached the milestone before the end of May . Three boats carrying 154 migrants arrived in Dover this morning , taking the total for this year to 10,036 , a rise of 35 per cent compared with this time last year and even higher than the record-breaking year of 2022 , when 9,326 had crossed by this time of the year . The Labour MP Stephen Kinnock seized on the figures to accuse Sunak of presiding over a crisis ANDY HALL/GETTY IMAGES Labour seized on the figures to accuse Rishi Sunak of " presiding over the worst year we have seen since the start of this crisis " . Stephen Kinnock , the shadow immigration minister , blamed the distraction of the Rwanda policy for the government 's failure to tackle the crisis . 7 hours ago 3.48pm He said : " Because all the government 's efforts are now focused on getting a few hundred people flown to Rwanda , they have lost sight of the thousands more who are crossing the Channel every month , and allowed the smuggling gangs responsible for that traffic to carry on acting with impunity . " The 76th Tory MP has announced they will not seek re-election , bringing the total number from all parties to 119 . The figure is the highest for the party in modern British political history , and is four higher than in 1997 , when Tony Blair won a landslide after 18 years of Tory government . Sir David Evennett , 74 , has been the MP for Bexleyheath and Crayford in east London since 2005 . Before that , he was the MP for Erith and Crayford in Kent between 1983 and 1997 . In his letter , Evennett said he believed " the Conservative governments of the past 14 years have achieved a great deal for our country and our people " . There is nothing " unusual " about the post-war record number of Tory MPs standing down ahead of the general election , the defence secretary has said . Grant Shapps told Sky News : " I do n't think it is actually all that unusual . You often get a lot standing down at election time . " " You often get this illusion that there are more standing down from the governing side and , of course , the good reason for that is there are , by definition , more MPs on the governing side . " 8 hours ago 2.40pm Jeremy Corbyn is standing in the next election as an independent MARK KERRISON/ALAMY The man who ran Jeremy Corbyn 's leadership campaign has said that he will not vote for the former Labour leader in the election . Corbyn is standing as an independent candidate in Islington North , the constituency he has represented since 1983 . Jon Lansman , who chaired Momentum , the Corbynite activist group , between 2015-2020 , said he would vote for the Labour candidate instead . Lansman , who lives in Corbyn 's north London constituency , told Times Radio : " I 'm sorry he 's standing ... I wo n't vote for Jeremy . I 'm a Labour Party member . I 've always voted Labour . I 'm going to support the Labour candidate . You know , it will be difficult , you know , because I do think that Jeremy has been badly treated . " 8 hours ago 2.30pm The former health secretary spoke about the impact of politics on family members The former health secretary was forced to resign during the pandemic after breaching social distancing guidelines by kissing a colleague . Hancock , who has just had the Conservative whip restored , thanked colleagues , staff and residents of his West Suffolk constituency . His voice breaking , he said : " And also my family , and in particular my children , because the impact of the scrutiny of politics -- especially when people make mistakes -- has a huge impact on them and they have put up with a lot . " I believe that everybody comes into in this place wanting to make their country a better place and I have tried my hardest to do that for 14 years ... it 's been an honour and a privilege . " 9 hours ago 2.20pm Labour 's plan to roll out taxes on private school fees would be a " tax on parents " , the Independent Schools Council has said . A spokeswoman said that detailed policy was needed from Labour as soon as possible . She said : " Thousands of families are going to be impacted by Labour 's tax on parents and they -- along with their schools -- can not properly plan based on headlines alone . " We would urge Labour to publish their full plan for implementing VAT on school fees , along with a reasonable timeline , so that parents are able to make informed decisions about the future of their children 's education . " 9 hours ago 2.15pm The former prime minister is standing down at this election HOLLIE ADAMS/BLOOMBERG/GETTY IMAGES Theresa May has urged her colleagues to " go out there and fight " in this election , as the former prime minister made her valedictory speech in the House of Commons . The Conservative MP for Maidenhead , which she has represented since 1997 , is one of more than 70 Tory MPs to stand down at this election . She thanked her husband and said being an MP was the " best job in the world " . She said : " I worry today that there are too many people in politics who think it is about them , their ambitions , their careers and not about the people they serve . Being a member of parliament is a public service , we are there to serve our country and to serve our constituents . " I can say to all those on these benches , I spent 13 years in opposition , you do not want to do that , go out there and fight to make sure a Conservative government is re-elected at the election . " 9 hours ago 2.05pm The number of Tory MPs standing down has surpassed the level of the 1997 election . A total of 75 Conservatives have announced they will not seek re-election , exceeding the number who stood down in the run-up to Tony Blair 's landslide victory . Greg Clark and Craig Mackinlay became the latest MPs to stand down . 9 hours ago 1.55pm Praful Nargund and his mother , Geeta Nargund HODA DAVAINE/DAVE BENETT/WIREIMAGE Labour has selected a candidate that will fight against Jeremy Corbyn in the seat of Islington North . Praful Nargund , a local councillor in the area since 2022 , has been selected by the local party . He says he will campaign on staffing shortages in the NHS , insulating homes and improving skills . He is a director of Create Impact Ventures , an early-stage investment firm and has helped run a group of private IVF clinics . The Labour Party currently has a majority of more than 26,000 votes in the seat , but this was achieved by Corbyn who has represented the area since 1983 . The Liberal Democrats came second in the seat in 2019 . 9 hours ago 1.40pm An order to potentially extend serving hours at bars and pubs during Euro 2024 will enable people to " get properly on the lash " , a Conservative peer has said . Lord Sharpe of Epsom , a Home Office minister , urged his fellow peers to " please drink responsibly " as he issued an order to the Licencing Act 2003 as parliament wraps up today . The order will extend sales of alcohol to 1am in some premises if England or Scotland reach the semi-final or the final of the Euros . Speaking in the House of Lords , he said . " So much of the business at the Home Offices is difficult , so it gives me particular pleasure that my last outing basically enables people to get properly on the lash . My Lords , please drink responsibly . " 9 hours ago 1.35pm The Labour leader and his wife watching an Arsenal match DYLAN MARTINEZ/REUTERS Sir Keir Starmer will not falter at the finishing line in his campaign to be prime minister in the same way as his beloved Arsenal FC because the Conservatives " do n't have a Haaland " , Labour 's Scottish leader has predicted . Anas Sarwar was bullish as he compared Rishi Sunak unfavourably with Manchester City 's Norwegian striker during a campaign event in Glasgow . When Starmer was asked if he was concerned that Labour would mirror Arsenal , who led the Premier League for much of the season only to be overtaken by their blue-clad rivals in the final matches , Sarwar interjected : " They do n't have a Haaland , though , so I think it 's pretty safe . Arsenal inspires Keir , now Keir is going to inspire Arsenal . " Starmer attempted to make footballing analogies about having a " good squad " before telling journalists : " We have to be exceptional as we go into this final stage . I have every confidence that we will be . " I 've got full confidence in my team and we are ready for this and I think Scotland is ready for this . " 10 hours ago 1.25pm A former senior minister has become the 75th Tory MP to announce they will not stand for re-election . Greg Clark , who has sat as the MP for Tunbridge Wells in Kent since 2005 , was business secretary under Theresa May and briefly levelling-up secretary under Boris Johnson . In a letter to the chairman of the local Conservative association , Clark wrote : " I think the time is right to hand the baton on to someone else . " 10 hours ago 1.10pm Craig Mackinlay , the Conservative MP who lost all four limbs to sepsis , has confirmed that he will not contest the general election on July 4 . The representative for South Thanet received a standing ovation from MPs when he returned to parliament on Wednesday after what he described as " eight months of hell " with the life-threatening condition . He has told GB News that he had decided against standing for parliament as the election had come too soon for his recovery . Mackinlay , who started his political career in the early 1990s , had previously said that he was planning to stand for re-election on the assumption that the vote would be held in November . 10 hours ago 1.05pm Boris Johnson looks increasingly unlikely to be highly involved in the election campaign . When asked about his predecessor , Rishi Sunak said : " I 'd welcome any Conservative to come and join the campaign . And I 've been in touch with Boris in the past . I 'm very proud of the work that we did together . " 10 hours ago 1.00pm Labour has implicitly committed to tax increases and spending cuts , and should be realistic about the timeline for growth , the Institute for Fiscal Studies ( IFS ) has said . Paul Johnson , the IFS director , said : " We 've got a very high debt interest bill , and both parties are committed to getting debt down over the last year of the coming parliament . That will require not just those tax increases and spending cuts we 've got coming in , but probably more than that . " You are going to be constrained at the very least for the first three or four years of a parliament by the fact that that is where the fiscal numbers are at the moment . I 'm not at all saying you should n't focus on that long-term growth -- you absolutely should -- but you 're still going to have to take hard decisions in the short term . " 10 hours ago 12.45pm End the chaos and division , says Starmer Labour would pass the smoking ban if it enters office , the party has confirmed . The Tobacco and Vapes Bill , which also includes a crackdown on marketing vapes to children , had cross-party support , including from the Liberal Democrats and Labour , but has been dropped as part of the pre-election parliamentary " wash-up " period . Labour sources have been taken aback by the government 's decision not to rush the legislation through , and instead to include it in the Tory manifesto . It gives Sir Keir Starmer the chance to introduce the " ready-made " bill in the first parliamentary session . 11 hours ago 12.25pm JK Rowling , the children 's author and activist , has raised questions over the Labour leadership 's comments on trans rights . She directed a post on social media towards Anneliese Dodds , the shadow equalities minister , saying : " Like a lot of people who 'd very much like change and also believe women 's right must be protected , I 'd love to know how Labour defines " woman " in the context of a general election . " The post features a quote from Dodds in March 2022 , where she said " there are different definitions ... it does depend what the context is " . 11 hours ago 12.05pm Lord Frost of Allenton has been critical of the prime minister VICTORIA JONES/PA Lord Frost of Allenton , a former adviser to Boris Johnson , has been barred from standing as a Conservative candidate at the upcoming election , it has been reported . GB News said that the former Brexit negotiator was told by Conservative HQ that he would be unable to apply for any of the 93 seats which not do yet have a Tory candidate . Frost has been critical of Rishi Sunak , warning in March that the party is " hurtling to defeat " under his leadership . Previously he has said the Tories faces a " 1997-style wipeout , if we are lucky " . Johnson nominated Frost for a life peerage in 2020 but he said last year that he wanted to give up his place in the Lords for one in the House of Commons . 11 hours ago 11.56am After the deluge in Downing Street that launched his election campaign , Rishi Sunak hoped for better optics at a brewery in South Wales on Thursday ( Patrick Kidd writes ) . A brave move given there are many who think he ca n't organise the proverbial beerfest in such a location . And so it proved . The Inverse Midas really does have rotten luck . Sitting at a table with a bevy of brewers , the prime minister eagerly asked if they were looking forward to " all the football " . There was an awkward pause . " Not so much my bag , " one Barry brewer said . Sunak smiled , perhaps wondering if this was a rugger crowd , until another brewer , whose accent suggested he was from the other side of Offa 's Dyke , explained why . " That 's because you guys are n't in it , " he said , a touch too cheerfully . Wales went out of qualifying for Euro 2024 on penalties in March . The prime minister could only laugh and say that surely people would still be watching the games and drinking , failing to understand Welsh tribalism . " Some people will be supporting anyone that plays England , " Alun Cairns , the local MP , said . Sunak gulped . " There 's also some cricket before then , " he suggested . So that 's the rest of the season washed out . It is always worth being suspicious when a politician answers a pretty straightforward question with a prepared and slightly convoluted answer ( Oliver Wright writes ) . And so it is with Sir Keir Starmer 's position on whether a future Labour government would raise taxes . Asked on Times Radio to confirm that Labour would not introduce any " additional tax rises " he replied : " To be clear , where there are tax rises , we 've set that out and we 've also set out what the money will be used for . " However , as the Tories were quick to point out , that still gives Labour significant wriggle room if the party were to win the general election . Starmer is effectively saying that Labour has no plans to announce further tax rises this side of an election -- but is leaving open the option for tax rises if necessary in the future . From a policy point of view this is probably sensible not least as economists are warning that whoever wins power will have to choose between tax rises or spending cuts . But in the heat of a general election it is a difficult line to tread -- given the Conservatives want to make tax a central issue . 12 hours ago 11.25am The prime minister said his leadership allowed for bold action MATT DUNHAM/AP Rishi Sunak said he is " disappointed " that his flagship bill banning young people from ever being able to smoke tobacco legally will not pass before parliament shuts down on Friday ahead of the general election . Speaking in Belfast , Sunak told reporters : " There 's always a normal process at the end of a parliament to see which legislation you can pass in the time that 's available . " And the smoking ban -- of course I am disappointed not be able to get that through at the end of the session given the time available . But what I 'd say is that 's evidence of the bold action that I 'm prepared to take . That 's the type of prime minister I am . That 's the type of leadership that I bring . " Sir Keir Starmer has said he will reinstate the smoking ban legislation if he wins . " We are committed to it , " he says , adding that he hopes there will be a cross-party consensus after the election . 12 hours ago 11.10am The Labour leader pledged to improve conditions for workers STEFAN ROUSSEAU/PA Sir Keir Starmer has promised the " biggest act of levelling up for workers ' rights in a generation " at an election campaign event in Scotland . He told the Scottish Labour campaign launch event in Glasgow : " You will never have a strong , functioning economy if you do n't treat your workforce properly , if you do n't give people basic dignity and respect at work . " And that 's why our new deal ... will be the biggest act of levelling up for workers ' rights in a generation . " Earlier this month , Labour defused a row with unions over workers ' rights by agreeing to reword campaign pledges to counter accusations of caving in to business pressure . 12 hours ago 11.00am The last time a general election was held during a big football tournament , it did not end well for the incumbent prime minister . Harold Wilson 's Labour Party was wiped out at the ballot box in 1970 , four days after England 's surprise defeat to West Germany at the Mexico World Cup . Diane Abbott has hit back at Sir Keir Starmer after he distanced himself over the decision to let her stand as a Labour MP . The MP for Hackney North has been suspended from Labour since last year while an investigation into comments she made about racism takes place . Starmer was asked about his own view on the investigation , and said it is " not a question of what I want " . " Jeremy Corbyn expressed his views on disciplinary matters and it led to a very slippery slope and I 've avoided that , " he said . In a tweet Abbott said : " Just heard Sir Keir Starmer on BBCR4 claiming the decision whether to let me back into the Labour Party has ' nothing to do with him ' it has EVERYTHING to do with him . " 10.25am It is " totally untrue " to say the Liberal Democrats are a secular party , an MP has said , amid an ongoing row over the deselection of one of its candidates . The party was accused of breaking equality laws after David Campanale , an Anglican candidate in Sutton and Cheam , was allegedly deselected " based on his Christian faith " . Asked if the Lib Dems were a liberal party , Helen Morgan , Liberal Democrat MP for North Shropshire , told Times Radio : " I think it 's totally untrue that we are a secular party . You know , there are many of us who are practising Christians and people of other faiths as well . So I do n't think that 's an appropriate accusation to level against us at all . We 're welcoming anybody of any faith and none . " 10.10am The prime minister has ridiculed Sir Keir Starmer for supposedly ducking a weekly TV debate with him during the general election campaign . In a social media post mocking what the Conservatives say is Starmer 's continually shifting positions , the prime minister wrote : " Not coming to a debate near you . " Starmer said he will take part in two debates with Sunak but wants to talk directly to voters . " Of course there are going to be TV debates . They are part and parcel of the election cycle now . He is sounding increasingly desperate , I have to say . I can do a hundred debates with Rishi Sunak , but I know what he is going to say , he is going to say everything is fine , the cost of living crisis is over , the health service has n't got any problems . " 9.55am Claire Coutinho criticised Labour 's energy plans WIKTOR **25;141;TOOLONG IMAGES The energy secretary has said Labour 's plans for the sector would leave the country " uninvestable " . Claire Coutinho , the secretary of state for energy security and net zero , told Times Radio : " There 's no point being world leading when it comes to climate change if nobody else in the world wants to follow your lead because all the people in your country are struggling and they 're struggling with their costs . " So that is the right approach . We want to play our part in a global challenge . But we want to do this in a fair way . And that 's in stark contrast to the Labour Party with Ed Miliband at the helm , who just want to go further and faster , no matter what the costs are to ordinary households . " Labour 's plans , industry have said , would leave the country uninvestable . The unions have called them reckless and naive ... they would raise people 's energy bills . And I honestly think that is the last thing that anybody needs right now . " 9.35am Labour would roll out taxes on private school fees " straight away " once in government , Sir Keir Starmer has said . Independent schools do not have to charge VAT on their fees due to an exemption for the supply of education . Starmer told the Today programme on BBC Radio 4 that the new tax would be implemented " as soon as it can be done " . He added : " Obviously there will have to be financial statements etc . It is a question of the timetable in parliament . But these first steps are intended to be done straight away . " In a letter addressed to Rishi Sunak , the Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy said that hostile nations could use various methods to sow division . This includes cyberattacks , targeting of political candidates to retrieve sensitive information for exploitation , online disinformation and capitalising on controversial or politicised topics . The committee also identified several methods the government could use to help " safeguard " against these threats , including public education on spotting disinformation ( such as artificial intelligence deep fakes ) and prioritising the safety of elected politicians . 9.10am Sir Keir Starmer has said that in an " ideal world " he would abolish tuition fees and the cap preventing parents from benefits for more than two children , but the country does not have the resources . Asked if he would scrap the two-child cap , which would cost about ? 1.4 billion in its first year , Starmer said : " In an ideal word of course but we have n't got the resources to do it at the moment . " On removing fees for university students , he said : " Looking at costing for tuition fees or abolishing them and looking at the money we need to put in the NHS , I 've taken the decision we ca n't do both . I decided we 've got to prioritise getting those waiting lists down . I 'd rather make the choice now this side of election then say something now which I know in my heart of hearts is not deliverable the other side of the election . " 9.05am Rishi Sunak has challenged Sir Keir Starmer to weekly TV debates DAN KITWOOD/GETTY IMAGES You can " bet on " there being TV debates between leaders during the campaign , Sir Keir Starmer has said , " whether it 's one or a hundred " . He told LBC : " We 're not dodging . TV debates are a big part of election campaign . Whether it 's one debate or a hundred debates , the answer will be exactly the same because we do it every Wednesday at prime minister 's questions . He will stand there and say everything is fine . " 8.55am Sir Keir Starmer has said Jeremy Corbyn will be up against an " excellent Labour candidate " in Islington North after the former party leader vowed to stand in the seat . Corbyn , 74 , said he will stand for election as an independent in the north London seat , where he has been MP since 1983 . Asked about this , Starmer said : " That 's a matter for Jeremy he 's obviously made his mind up on that . " We will have an excellent Labour candidate in Islington North as we 've got excellent Labour candidates across the country . " The Labour candidate for Islington North is yet to be selected , with the choice between Sem Moema , a member of the London Assembly , and Praful Nargund , an Islington councillor . A decision could be made by June 1 . 8.48am The deputy first minister said the election is taking place at a good time for her party SST/ALAMY Kate Forbes , the deputy first minister in Scotland , said that the election comes after " a really good period of unity " for the SNP . The previous party leader and first minister , Humza Yousaf , resigned last month after a coalition deal with the Greens collapsed . He was replaced by John Swinney , who did not face a leadership election . Forbes told BBC Radio 4 's Today programme that now is a " very good moment " for the party , arguing that Swinney is the " most popular political leader " in the UK . 8.43am Sir Keir Starmer has pledged to have 40,000 extra appointments available in the NHS within a year of taking office . Giving more detail on his first steps if elected he said issues such as launching a Border Security Command to tackle small boat crossings and creating Great British Energy can be done " straight away " . " The 40,000 extra appointments in the NHS every week will take a bit of time but I would hope within a year or so we 've made good on that promise , " he told the BBC . He added that ending tax breaks on private schools to recruit 6,500 new teachers would be done as soon as possible as it was just a question of the timetable in parliament . On the teachers aim , he said : " We can certainly make a lot of progress in the first year ... that will be a day one priority . " 8.40am Starmer and Corbyn in 2019 THIERRY MONASSE/GETTY IMAGES Sir Keir Starmer has said he " doubted " Labour would win in 2019 , when he was in Jeremy Corbyn 's shadow cabinet . " I doubted that we would win in 2019 to be honest " , he told LBC . " We were not in good shape . " Asked why he supported Corbyn as leader , he said : " He was the leader of our party going into a general election . But now having done the hard yards of change over four or five years and looking at the position we are now in as a party it reinforces it , if you like , just how unprepared we were in 2019 . " When we got hit that hard in 2019 , I 'll be totally honest , that was the worst result since 1935 ... you look at your own party and say , we got this fundamentally wrong . " 8.35am The Lib Dems believe that John Redwood 's seat is a " big battleground " to challenge the Tories IAN DAVIDSON/ALAMY The Liberal Democrats have said John Redwood 's decision to stand down in his seat of Wokingham in Berkshire shows the Conservatives are " running scared " in the so-called " blue wall " . Daisy Cooper , the deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats , said : " This is yet another Conservative big beast in the South of England who is now running scared . Wokingham is a key battleground where the Liberal Democrats are the clear challengers to the Conservatives . " Right across the blue wall Conservative MPs are standing down in their droves and it 's because they 're worried about losing their seats to the Liberal Democrats . From the cost of living crisis to the sewage scandal these Conservatives know they 've failed their constituents and now they 're abandoning their seats . " 8.27am Sir Keir Starmer has suggested there will be no new announcement on tax rises in the campaign . The Labour leader told Times Radio : " To be clear , where there are tax rises , we 've set that out and we 've also set out what the money will be used for . So we will get rid of the non-dom status properly . " We will go after those that avoid their tax , and we will use that money to fund 40,000 extra appointments in the NHS every week . Another example is at the moment private schools have a tax break . We 've said we 'll get rid of that and we will use that directly to fund 6,500 teachers in our state schools . " 8.23am Corbyn said he would be standing as an independent candidate ALBERTO PEZZALI/AP Jeremy Corbyn has promised to campaign " on global issues of peace and justice " if re-elected as an MP . In a social media clip to launch his campaign , the former Labour leader is pictured speaking at a pro-Palestine rally . " Whoever the prime minister is , I 'll be holding them to account ... on global issues of peace and justice " , Corbyn says in the clip . " That is what an MP should do . " He said he was ready for the attention he knows his campaign will receive . " This is going to be a campaign with an awful lot thrown at us . I 'm ready for that I know everybody else is ready for that . " 8.20am The Conservative Party has highlighted the risk of Ed Miliband as they unveil their plan for greater energy security . Claire Coutinho , the energy secretary , said a Labour Party with Miliband in charge of environment policy will increase people 's bills , raise taxes and harm the UKs energy security . Speaking to the BBC , she said : " At the next election there is a stark choice you 've either got the Conservatives who are very focused on getting cheap deals for people or a Labour party with Ed Miliband at the helm . " She also tweeted : " I know the last few years have been a struggle , but we have turned a corner . Do n't let Ed Miliband throw it away with his dangerous plans to hike your bills and raise your taxes . " Labour wants to borrow an extra ? 4.7 billion a year to fund energy infrastructure . 8.12am Jeremy Corbyn has announced he will stand against Labour as an independent candidate in the election . In a statement released on social media , he said : " We have to stand up and say we 're not taking this any more . We will assert our rights . " I believe in democracy , I want our political parties to be democratic , but members of Islington North Labour have been denied the right to choose their own candidate , and alongside that the community as a whole has been disempowered because of that . " He said poverty and housing issues would not end without " fundamental redistribution of power and of wealth " , and call for rent controls . He said the " demands " were not " being presented by the official opposition at the moment " . 8.05am John Redwood , right , is standing down before the election IAN DAVIDSONALAMY John Redwood , the Conservative MP for Wokingham since 1987 , has announced he will not stand at the general election . Redwood , who stood twice for the Tory leadership in the 1990s , said in a statement : " I have other things I wish to do . " He said he would " continue to contribute to the debates about public policy " . The Liberal Democrats are treating his seat , in Berkshire , as a key target . They need to overturn a Conservative majority of 7,000 . He joins the growing group of Conservative MPs announcing they are standing aside , and is the 115th MP in total . 7.55am The Labour leader said the party was committed to growth DAN KITWOOD/GETTY IMAGES Growth is the " missing ingredient " in the economy , the Labour leader has said . Asked whether there would be new taxes under a Labour government , Sir Keir Starmer told Times Radio : " Our priority is economic growth , which is the missing ingredient of the last 14 years , because the tax and spend question can only be seen in the context of growth , because we 've had a stagnant economy for 14 years of this government . " It 's all been about tax and we 've got the highest tax burden . We want to be absolutely committed to growth . " 7.45am Over the next six weeks , Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer will set out their contrasting plans for Britain , competing for votes on July 4 . So what do we know of the battle lines so far , and which issues are likely to define the campaign to come ? Day two of campaigning for the July 4 general election will see the prime minister continue his two-day tour of the four nations . Today he goes to Northern Ireland to discuss maritime transport on his visit , before returning to the mainland and completing his two-day tour with a final campaign stop in the Midlands . Sir Keir Starmer will be in Scotland , visiting Glasgow to launch his party 's campaign , hoping to add to the two seats Labour currently hold in the country . Appearing alongside Anas Sarwar , the Scottish Labour leader , Starmer will argue that the general election offers a chance to " finally turn the page on 14 years of Tory government and the failed SNP and to chart a new course for the country " . Sir Ed Davey , the Liberal Democrat leader , will be on England 's south coast , once again targeting Tory-held areas . 7.10am Hear the Labour leader make his case to be prime minister from 7.15am on Times Radio , or listen back on catch-up |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks an NP object and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes an emotional reaction without the causative structure typical of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Girls Aloud kicked off their three dates in Manchester on Thursday night ( May 23 ) with a poignant tribute to Sarah Harding . Sarah tragically passed away at the age of 39 in September 2021 after being diagnosed with terminal breast cancer . Last month , she was honoured with a mural in Stockport where she grew up in a bid to raise awareness of cancer in young people . The remaining band members , Kimberley , Cheryl , Nadine and Nicola , announced last year that they would be reuniting for The Girls Aloud Show tour which would not only celebrate the band 's 22-year legacy but also serve as a fitting tribute to Sarah . During Thursday night 's show , the band took centre stage at the AO Arena where they performed some of their biggest hits , including Sound of the Underground and Love Machine , for the first time since the band last toured in 2013 .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It discusses a situation where people are priced out of owning homes, but 'priced out of' is not followed by a VP[-ing] predicate that would indicate a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'owning their own home locally' is a gerund phrase functioning as a noun, not a VP[-ing] predicate with a causee. Therefore, it does not qualify as an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

A popular seaside town has been named as the most expensive in the UK . Lloyds Bank compared house prices in coastal locations to find the most costly and desired place to live by the sea . That title went to Salcombe in Devon . If you fancy living here , the average house will cost you just shy of a whopping ? 1 million . Other exclusive seaside spots favoured by the rich and famous include Sandbanks in Dorset , home to the likes of Harry Redknapp , and Padstow in Cornwall . A pad in Sandbanks will set you back ? 957,000 on average , while properties cost ? 702,000 in Padstow . Experts said many locals find themselves being priced out of their hometowns because properties are simply unaffordable . Amanda Bryden , head of mortgages at Lloyds Bank , said : " Sea views , sandy beaches , brisk morning dips -- it 's easy to see why coastal living is so desirable . " Our data shows the most sought-after coastal locations in the country can attract average price tags of close to a million pounds -- with in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ areas can result in a lack of affordable homes for first-time buyers , a problem often exacerbated by high levels of second home ownership , meaning that many who have grown up in the area may find themselves priced out of owning their own home locally . " " There are more affordable places to call home by the sea , especially the further north you head . Those with a more adventurous streak may want to consider setting up home in Rothesay on the charming Isle of Bute , which will set buyers back around ? 100,000 on average .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It discusses a situation where people are priced out of owning homes, but the verb 'priced' does not fit the semantic classes of verbs that typically appear in the V1 slot of the construction, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the construction.

A popular seaside town has been named as the most expensive in the UK . Lloyds Bank compared house prices in coastal locations to find the most costly and desired place to live by the sea . That title went to Salcombe in Devon . If you fancy living here , the average house will cost you just shy of a whopping ? 1 million . Other exclusive seaside spots favoured by the rich and famous include Sandbanks in Dorset , home to the likes of Harry Redknapp , and Padstow in Cornwall . A pad in Sandbanks will set you back ? 957,000 on average , while properties cost ? 702,000 in Padstow . Experts said many locals find themselves being priced out of their hometowns because properties are simply unaffordable . Amanda Bryden , head of mortgages at Lloyds Bank , said : " Sea views , sandy beaches , brisk morning dips -- it 's easy to see why coastal living is so desirable .

Those with a more adventurous streak may want to consider setting up home in Rothesay on the charming Isle of Bute , which will set buyers back around ? 100,000 on average .

I love getting outdoors . As someone who lives in a big city , I find escaping the hustle and bustle and getting into hills and forest terrain incredibly invigorating . The sound of the birds !

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'take all the pain out of cooking foods' does not involve a causee NP object that participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a general benefit or feature of the cooking modes, which is not aligned with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Investing in one of the best air fryers could revolutionize your cooking routine . They require far less oil than regular frying , which means tasty food that 's better for you , and are also typically far quicker and more efficient than cooking with a full-sized oven -- is a win both for both your energy bills and how quickly you can get dinner on the table . It 's easy to see why these gadgets have become so popular . The term ' air fryer ' is a little misleading . These are basically compact , countertop ovens that mimic the effects of frying using hot air and powerful fans . In an air fryer , the fan is big relative to the cooking space , and it 's usually paired with a design that maximizes airflow -- that 's what delivers the crispy , tasty results , with only a little oil . We 've tested out a wide range of air fryers -- from basic , easy-to-use models , to fancier options with lots of presets , to dual-basket fryers that let you cook two things at once at two different temperatures @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ terms of cooking , our reviewers also assess how easy they are to use and clean , and whether they offer good value for money . Based on those tests , we 've rounded up what we think are the best air fryers for a range of needs and budgets . Below is our quick guide to the best air fryers around . Use it to narrow down your options , then either hop down to the more in-depth entry , or head straight to a retailer to buy . + Crisp , evenly browned results + Window for checking on cooking food + Reduces cooking smells - Crisper plate can fall out - Display suffers from fingerprint marks The brand behind the iconic Instant Pot also makes air fryers , and its top-of-the-range model consistently turned out the crispiest fries and chicken wings of any air fryers we tested . In our testing , the fries had crisp exteriors but soft , fluffy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ skin was crispy and retained loads of flavor . The Instant Vortex Plus 6-in-1 Air Fryer with ClearCook & OdourErase builds on the previous iteration , the Instant Vortex Plus , with a plastic window in the basket , and a light , that lets you keep an eye on food while it 's cooking , and has a built-in filter to reduce smells too . However , it does n't come with any cooking guides , which means you will need to spend time experimenting to achieve the right cooking duration and temperature , particularly when it comes to frozen food . We also found the crisper plate tends to fall out if the basket is tipped up too much when removing food , and the display suffers from fingerprint marks . However , these are minor gripes on what is in our eyes , the best air fryer on the market for most people right now . + Produces crisp fries and chicken wings + Sleek , minimalist design + 7 presets for dishes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Struggles with frozen foods - Needs some experimentation for best results If you want a budget-friendly air fryer that 's as stylish as it is effective , then the Cosori Pro LE Air Fryer L501 is worth considering . Unlike any of the air fryers we 've tested previously , the LED and touch control panel is located on the glossy top of this kitchen gadget creating a streamlined look . On test , we found the air fryer produced crisp , crunchy fries with soft , fluffy inside and succulent juicy chicken wings . However , it struggled to evenly brown foods , so we found ourselves tweaking cooking times , and it was n't effective when cooking frozen foods either . It has seven presets for dishes such as bacon , seafood , and cake . It also has a reminder to shake , which can be activated when setting the cooking time that will alert you halfway through cooking so you can turn the food to achieve an even crisp . + Precise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Easy-to-use interface + Dishwasher-safe components - Does n't have the usual presets The Dreo ChefMaker is so impressive with its cooking prowess and its ability to deliver moist-on-the-inside and crispy-on-the-outside results . That 's due to the fact that this air fryer is able to cook more precisely than many others . While it 's missing a lot of the usual presets -- at least without app support -- it offers Chef Mode , Classic Cook , and Probe Cook , so that you can either fine-tune the cooking experience , set it and forget it , or have the ChefMaker cook your food until its internal temperature is right where you want it , thanks to a nifty probe aka food thermometer that 's included in the box . The transparent glass basket is also a nice addition as you can keep visual tabs on your food without pulling the basket out . We also appreciate the fact that the components are dishwasher safe . And , though water atomization and super convection seem like buzzwords that Dreo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ powerful , if pricey , air fryer . + Large capacity , small footprint + Extra trays for more cooking space + Performance is excellent - Cheaper dual-basket fryers available - Ca n't fit wide foods whole With most air fryers , the more generous the cooking capacity , the more counter space you 'll need to sacrifice . This Ninja model cleverly avoids that issue by stacking its baskets one on top of the other , rather than side by side . Each drawer will hold 4.75L , and you can create even more cooking space by slotting in one of the provided trays . Although do note that the tall-rather-than-side approach means you wo n't get able to fit in , say , an uncut pizza . ( If you just need something compact and do n't need a large capacity , head to our guide to the best small air fryers . ) In our review , our tester noted no compromise in performance with this new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ performance as other Ninja air fryers we 've tested . A wide range of different cooking modes make this model ultra-versatile , while the Sync and Match functions take all the pain out of cooking foods with different timing requirements -- select your cooking mode , set your finish time and , if you 're synchronizing the two baskets , select the cooking times for each , and it 'll do the math for you . There 's also next-to-no heat leakage between the two trays , which is good news if you 're dealing with precise foods or do n't want to waste energy when only using one basket . The main down-side here is that the Double Stack is pricier than other dual-basket air fryers , so if you do n't need that extra counter space then you could get something as good for a lower price . But if you have a small kitchen , it could be well worth the extra investment . Currently only the ' XL ' version is available , but we 're expecting a smaller version to hit the market soon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If you have yet to ever own an air fryer , but are a little nervous to try out new appliances and / or are conscious about spending money , the Ultenic K10 is a good one to consider . During our review , it was hard to find fault in its results . Its full-featured control panel comes with options like keep warm , automatic preheat , and a reminder to give the food a shake , giving you a lot of bang for your buck , especially with its budget-friendly price tag . It does n't have any other cooking function , however , apart from air frying , but the app and 11 presets will make it a really easy-to-use and nice addition to the kitchen countertop . A particular feature we loved is that there 's a little beep half way through select cooking modes to remind you to shake the foods . You wo n't be able to cook two food types at the same time , though , and the controls are on the top so placing it on a high counter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Reasons to buy + Ultra convenient + Synchronize cooking times with Smart Finish + Cooks evenly and timely - Tricky to clean - Second crumb tray would be useful This Ninja air fryer is unique , because to the best of our knowledge it 's the only air fryer with a toaster oven design and two separate cooking compartments . Normally dual-zone air fryers achieve this with two drawers , but having two distinct cavities means this is very flexible . The downside is that it 's also harder to clean than removable drawer models . With the Ninja Double Oven air fryer , you can engage two different cooking functions at the same time . And there are 12 functions to choose from , including not just air frying but roasting , baking , toasting and more . In our tests we found it cooked very well across all its functions , and the Smart Finish feature makes it easy to co-ordinate two different kinds of cooking or two different temperatures so everything @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Double Oven is expensive , but if you want to have all your cooking bases covered , it 's an ideal solution for cooking for small or large groups alike . Unfortunately at the time of writing it 's only available to customers in the US . + Quietest air fryer from Instant Pot + Compact yet powerful + Dishwasher-safe components - No ClearCook - No OdorEase - Slightly limited cooking settings Called the Instant Vortex Slim 6-quart Air Fryer in the UK , the Instant Vortex Slim 6-quart Air Fryer is designed for people with limited counter space or a compact kitchen . In order to accommodate that space limitation while still giving you a full-sized air fryer , Instant Pot redesigned their popular air fryer line that 's 20% smaller and only weighs 6.8kg . Just because it 's compact , does n't mean that it 's less capable when it comes to cooking . It air fries brilliantly and quietly as well , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with a Quiet Mark certification . It 's also well-built and has a fairly spacious inside . Still , there were compromises to be made due to its size . There 's no dehydrate setting , for one , and instead of a progress or text bar , you 're only getting a tiny seven-segment screen that shows you the temperature , time , and stage in cooking . There 's also no window or a light , and you 're losing two marquee features you 'll find on the regular Vortex models : OdorErase and ClearCook . If those are important and saving space is n't as vital , we recommend getting the bigger models instead . + Smoky flavors with minimal mess and hassle + Very intuitive to use + It 's an outdoor air fryer ! - Not big enough for larger gatherings - Accessories ca n't go in dishwasher Though it 's still electric , the Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill is designed for outdoor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or garden and just the perfect cooking appliance to see you through your summer barbecues and backyard parties . It 's primarily a grill and a smoker , but it comes with a few additional cooking functions that give you a bigger bang for your buck -- it can also air fry , bake , and roast . Even if you have n't used an electric grill or smoker before , you wo n't have a hard time using this one . On test , we found it incredibly easy to use , thanks in large part to its clever self-igniting woodfire smoke box that utilizes wood pellets to give your food that smoky flavors that traditional wood or charcoal grills deliver . And it does so without a flame and with very minimal mess . If you hate the clean-up after grilling , this might be a better option for you . Just bear in mind that the accessories here are n't dishwasher safe so you still have some cleaning to do . As far as its air frying function , it works well too . It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to cook around 3lbs ( 1.5kg ) of fries , every single piece of which came out crispy and fluffy during our testing . + Crisp , evenly browned results + Cook two foods at once + Window to check on cooking food - Frying baskets hold a smaller quantity - Investment pricing Known as the Instant Vortex Plus Dual Drawer Air Fryer in the UK , the Instant Vortex Plus Dual Air Fryer has a lot going for it . Not only will it let you check in on your food without pulling the basket out , thanks to its basket windows and cooking chamber light , but it will also let you cook two different dishes at the same time , thanks to its dual-basket design and dual-cooking functionality that also has the capability to sync finish times . When it comes to its air frying performance , we have no complaints . It delivered crispy and evenly-browned results during our tests , whether we were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cook two different dishes at once , we have found that it saves us a bit of time and effort . Just bear in mind that while it does have a bigger capacity overall , each basket does have a smaller capacity . It also does n't come with cooking charts , which means you may have to do some trial and error to get the cooking times and temperatures just right . + Easy to set up + Simple to keep clean + Accurate presets - Bit small for families - Not recognized by Alexa in the UK If you 're looking for an air fryer that offers good cooking capacity then the Cosori Pro III Dual Blaze could be ideal . The fryer , also known as the Cosori Dual Blaze in the UK , features an innovative design that includes an upper and lower heating element to cook foods quickly and evenly . It does n't require pre-heating or a mid-cook shake , and comes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ frozen , bake , reheat and roast . Each of these can be adjusted by temperature and/or duration . The Cosori Pro III Dual Blaze is a smart air fryer , but there are some caveats : its Alexa support is US-only , and it needs to be connected to a 2.4GHz wi-fi network to communicate with devices such as smart speakers . However the app is very good , featuring over 100 tasty-looking recipes , with ingredients , method and settings required on the air fryer all outlined . It is possible to select a recipe and the temperature and time remotely on the app , but you 'll need to remain close by to press the start/pause button to activate it . This is one of the most expensive air fryers in the Cosori line-up , but it 's one of the biggest and fastest too .

First of all , what kind of air fryer do you want ? Basket air fryers tend to be healthier because they funnel the juices , as well as the fat , away from the food but you ca n't check on the food without opening @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the cooking process . Bowl air fryers often have glass lids so you can keep an eye on your meal , but the cooking juices remain in the air fryer and in contact with the food , making it tastier but not as healthy . If you 're feeding four or more mouths , look for larger air fryers , which can hold around 6.5 quarts / 6 liters , while couples will find designs that have a capacity of around 2.5 quarts / 2.5 liters will be sufficient . Some of the best air fryers also have more than one compartment , which means you can cook multiple foods at the same time . As we 've already mentioned , if you 're tight on space look for air fryers that offer a multitude of different cooking methods , to cut down on the number of appliances that clutter up your kitchen countertop . Also , consider whether you want an air fryer with smart features that means you can switch it on or off from your smartphone . Basket air fryers are the most popular type of air fryer . They have a slide-out basket or tray which slots in to the main unit , and tend to be available as a single or dual-drawer . When cooking food types such as fries , an uneven bake can sometimes be achieved if the food is n't rearranged or tossed around . Oven-style air fryers are much larger than basket air fryers , but they are often much smaller than convection ovens owing to their counter-top design ; they 're about the same size as a microwave . They have a door rather than a drawer , and use shelves rather than baskets . The air frying function is able to circulate air around the food more efficiently to achieve a more even crisp . Some may also include a rotisserie , and other accessories . Halogen ovens . Although sometimes described as air fryers , halogen ovens work in a different @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ uses infrared to constantly heat the food . This means that they can be more versatile than the more traditional air fryer , with a larger capacity and more forgiving shape of cooking area . Air fryers use substantially less oil than deep frying : some foods , most of which are frozen or have naturally occurring fat , like Chicken Wings , are suitable for air frying without any oil at all . Fries , roast potatoes , and other traditional crisp foods will need some oil , but how much varies between air fryers . In our tests , manufacturers ' instructions have recommended anywhere from 1tsp to 1tbsp of oil per 1.1lb / 500g of fries , so if you want to use as little oil as possible - we 'd suggest you check how oil is required before you purchase a specific model . It 's also crucial to remember the healthiness of what you make in your air fryer all depends on what you actually put in it , to begin with . To find out more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can you cook in an air fryer ? Fries , roast potatoes , chicken wings and other deep-fried favorites are obvious dishes to cook in an air fryer , but that 's not all you can whip up in one of these handy kitchen gadgets . You can prepare anything you can cook in a traditional fan oven , space permitting , because they work in the same way . So whether that 's frozen foods , mini pizzas , or even gnocchi and ravioli - it can all be cooked in an air fryer . You can even make fudgy brownies in an air fryer , in less time than it takes in an oven . We 've tried to cook pretty much everything apart from soup in an air fryer . We found that an air fryer can rival KFC when it comes to fried chicken , and was also the answer when it came to creating crisp , crunchy crackling on pork belly . As well as being used in place of an oven , air fryers can be an easier way to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to watch them like a hawk and turn them before they burn . In particular , we discovered French Toast and grilled cheese work extremely well in the kitchen gadget . Air fryers are very versatile but there are some things you should avoid . For example , we found 5 foods to avoid putting in an air fryer . These include foods dipped in batter , as the liquid will simply slide off the item and leave a mess in the frying basket . And anything lightweight such as an individual slice of bread or leafy greens is likely to get blown around the cooking cavity . That means it may cook unevenly or even burn . With many air fryers large joints of meat can be tricky too : if they 're too big for the drawer the hot air ca n't circulate properly . That means the joint wo n't be evenly crisped and browned . And we would n't recommend trying to cook red meat medium rare or medium : the outside cooks too @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ does an air fryer work ? Despite its name , an air fryer does n't actually fry . Utilizing a very cleverly designed fan oven , it efficiently uses airflow to cook in a way and at a speed that conventional ovens , even fan ones , can not . Some of the best air fryers are also multi-cookers , meaning that the air circulated does n't just air fry . A single countertop device can make tasty fries but also work as a toaster oven , a dehydrator , a slow cooker and a pizza oven , as well as heat up last night 's takeout leftovers and bake brilliant bagels too . To compare each air fryer , we 've cooked up batches and batches of fries and chicken wings . As well as evaluating how , crisp , evenly browned and in the case of chicken wings , how moist and juicy the meat was , we 've also compared how easy they are to use . We rated each design on how many settings it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and parts are , how loud their fans are and how hot the exterior casing gets . For each model we wanted to know whether it was simple to use design and did n't require reading a thick instruction manual before use , came with useful accessories such as frying baskets , or a recipe book for inspiration .

Yard Sale Pizza , which was visited by Macaulay Culkin and his band The Pizza Underground , opened in 2014 and has now grown to 12 locations across London . Jennifer Sieg meets Johnnie Tate , co-founder of Yard Sale Pizza . Yard Sale , which was visited by Home Alone star Macaulay Culkinand his band The Pizza Underground , now has 12 locations across London . Sometimes , starting a business out of something you enjoy can be a no-brainer -- but turning a common love for home-cooked pizza into your ticket to entrepreneurship is n't always the first go-to method . Johnnie Tate , however , tells me he figured out how to successfully combine the two with the debut of his award-winning , hand-delivered pizza brand Yard Sale Pizza in 2014 . Yard Sale Pizza , which had started as a way to bring family and friends together with " backyard pizza " parties in Southwest London , now has over 12 locations across North , East , and South London and is on track @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Four of those locations , Tate tells me , were opened in the midst of the Covid pandemic -- a rather large accomplishment . Their secret to success , he says , was building a good quality product right from the start . Unlike many of your favourite late-night bites , you wo n't be able to find Yard Sale Pizza on Deliveroo or Uber Eats . " We 've got our in house delivery service with our own fleet and our own riders all on our own payroll . So we do n't use any of the third parties to deliver , that 's all done in house , " Tate says , hinting at why he believes the brand has been so resilient . The in-house delivery model is a key component of controlling the quality of the product that reaches the customer -- we call it dough to door . Johnnie Tate It 's a USP ( unique selling proposition ) he believes will continue to deliver company results -- as well as their " quick @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ looks to open some 150 sites across the UK in the coming years . " Ultimately , that 's why people come to us because we have a brilliant quality pizza , " Tate adds . The pizza business in London is undoubtedly competitive . Whether it be Domino 's , Pizza Express or Franco Manca , if you 're a fan of pizza , odds are you have your go-to pizza joint every time you come down with a craving . " Opening a pizza shop was a bit of a curve ball , " Tate laughs . Yard Sale 's early-on marketing and collaboration efforts , however , set them up for success -- and even Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin and his band , the Pizza Underground , joined in on the fun . " The first stop on the gig was our pizza shop , which was n't even finished , we turned on the oven and there was no seating . It was crazy , " he says , smiling in hindsight . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and it got national coverage . I mean , that was an incredible sort of marketing activation and it was very surreal . " It might go without saying , but as a start-up , your marketing budget tends to be hauntingly low . With a little bit of creativity and some networking , however , foundations can slowly begin to form . Tate laughs as he tells me he has made many mistakes while building his brand from scratch . " I mean , it took us nearly six months to get an electric point of sale system in place in our shop , which meant we were handwriting tickets -- every single order was written and every customer had to call up to order , " he says . But rather than focusing too much on what they did n't have , they prioritised their efforts to building what they could -- a strong and reliable team . " It 's just critical to the success of the business , " Tate adds . " I 'm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we 're constantly striving to improve and be better , and I think growing the business is very motivating. " |

A variety of financial changes are set to take place in June which could affect your personal budget . Some of the changes taking place in the midst of a newly announced general election include new cost of living payments for some living in certain areas . Meanwhile , some Universal Credit claimants could see their payments go up , depending on when their last assessment period took place . The Bank of England could also make a major new announcement affecting the British economy as well as how much you 'll pay back on your mortgage when it takes another look at interest rates in June . There is also a new law for pet owners to be aware of , otherwise you might get caught out and fined , and you may start to see banknotes featuring King Charles ' image in your cash . Here 's a full breakdown of all the money changes taking place in June 2024 . During the Spring Budget , Chancellor Jeremy Hunt confirmed that the government will scrap multiple dwellings relief for stamp duty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dwelling in a single transaction - for example , houses and flats purchased together , mixed-use properties such as shops with a flat above , or houses with an annexe - will no longer enjoy the tax relief from June 1 , and thus pay more on bigger purchases . Initially , the relief was intended to attract investment in the private rental sector , but a HMRC evaluation of the process found it made no significant difference and was instead leading to abuse of the system . The move has been criticised by private investors who say the change in stamp duty will lead to the value of properties dropping . The chancellor said abolishing Multiple Dwellings Relief will raise around ? 385 million a year for the Treasury . Vulnerable households could begin receiving benefits from the Household Support Fund after it was extended earlier this year . Councils use this fund to give extra support to those struggling with the cost of living . Support may come in the form of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for essentials such as clothing , rent , and energy bills . Some households could even receive cost of living payments . This includes households covered by Cornwall Council , which confirmed it will issue ? 80 payments from June 3 . Not all households will be eligible for support through the HSF and many councils are providing different forms of help . To find out if you qualify in your area , you should contact your council to see what support they will have available through HSF in June . King Charles ' face will appear on banknotes for the first time from June 5 . The King 's portrait will feature on the front of the banknotes as well as in cameo in the see-through security window which is visible on both sides . Meanwhile , the reverse side images will remain unchanged - with Sir Winston Churchill on the ? 5 , Jane Austen on the ? 10 , JMW Turner on the ? 20 and Alan Turing on the ? 50 . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ continue to remain as legal tender , with both versions co-circulating . A new law is coming into force that pet owners need to know about - or they face being landed with a hefty fine . All cat owners must microchip their cat before June 10 this year or they risk facing a fine of up to ? 500 . According to the charity Cats Matter , roughly 25 per cent of cats may not be microchipped in the UK . A spokesperson said : " Once the new law comes into force , owners found without their cat microchipped will have just 21 days to have one implanted . After the 21 days , owners may then face a fine of up to ? 500 . We have done the hard part by getting the law changed . Now it is down to cat owners to make sure this is the success we know it can and will be . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ set to review the national interest rate on June 20 . Previously , the Bank voted in favour of halting interest rates at 5.25 per cent - a 16-year high . The Bank has consistently said it wants to drive down inflation to 2 per cent and is likely one of the key factors being examined before members vote on the new interest rate . Fortunately , inflation reached 2.1 per cent in April , down from 3.2 per cent in March , the lowest level since July 2021 when inflation was recorded at 2 per cent . Interest rates are used to help determine the amount paid back on loans such as mortgages . If interest rates are lower , it means mortgage payments will also be lower . Although mortgage rates have come down slightly since December , around 45 per cent of fixed-rate mortgage holders are facing higher monthly repayments when they reprice their mortgage by the end of 2026 . Debt Relief Orders ( DRO ) will undergo significant reform on June 28 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in April of this year , with a rise in the debt threshold and value of a vehicle coming into force next month . The total amount of debt covered by a DRO will increase from ? 30,000 to ? 50,000 while the value of a vehicle a person can own when they enter a DRO will go up from ? 2,000 to ? 4,000 . Andrew Shore , Assistant Director of Policy at the Insolvency Service , said : " Some people need a car for work , mobility or family reasons , but the value of vehicles has risen a lot in recent years . Raising the value of the car you can own will enable more people to access a DRO when they need one . " And those who owe up to ? 50,000 but do n't have the money to make repayments to creditors will be able to see a way out of overwhelming debt . The changes reflect challenges that people are facing now and will make sure DROs are available to people who really need that help . " Households are being urged to take a fresh meter reading before the new energy price cap comes into force on July 1 . By taking a meter reading the day before the cap comes in , billpayers could avoid being overcharged on their electricity due to the way firms estimate how much you pay on your usage . Furthermore , an accurate meter reading can provide an extra layer of support if you need to dispute a bill or argue that you have been inaccurately or unfairly charged . Throughout June , families will be receiving letters which they must respond to or risk losing over ? 1,300 . HMRC will be sending letters out between May 24 and July 17 , asking for additional information . Andy Wood from Crypto Tax Degens highlighted the urgency , stating : " Parents will soon receive a letter from HMRC , asking them to confirm whether their child remains enrolled in full-time education or training . Remaining eligible for child benefits depends on whether you have a child under @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or training ) . " He explained : " Child benefit payments amount to a substantial sum , with the potential to reach up to ? 1,331 annually for the initial child and up to ? 881 yearly for each additional child . The letter is due to be sent to all parents between May 24 and July 17 and will contain a QR code guiding recipients to the gov.uk website . Once there , parents can conveniently proceed to renew their child benefit claim online . " Gov.uk have warned parents have until August 31 to take action or their payments will automatically stop . Although child benefit payments are available to all individuals with children , those with higher incomes are liable to pay the High Income Child Benefit Charge . " Some benefit claimants are yet to receive the new full rate following its introduction last month from the Department for Work and Pensions ( DWP ) . This is due to the fact that the new rate is not paid until the first assessment period @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ payments are issued after the first assessment period closes , some people may have received the old rate this month as the assessment period started prior to April 8 . Therefore , the new full rate should be paid from June 1 if it has n't been received already .

The FiiO FW3 are nice cheap wireless earbuds -- it 's probably why you 're considering them . They also offer a pretty distinct appearance and lots of customization over your music mix . However they lose marks for a whole host of missing features like ANC , wear detection , decent battery life , their IP rating and their difficulty holding a reliable Bluetooth connection . The FiiO FW3 are the second true wireless earbuds proposition from FiiO , after the inaugural FW5 . They are relatively entry-level earbuds ( although it really depends where you live , as we 'll get onto below ) . The Chinese company 's heritage is in IEMs , portable music players and larger audio streamers and , other than a few loop earbuds , these are its first true wireless earbuds update . Can they challenge the best earbuds in the business ? Well , not quite ... but let 's not get ahead of ourselves @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ product could explain why the FW3 are pretty good if you 're using them indoors -- and really struggle in other real-world use cases . If , for instance , you 're listening to the FiiO FW3 in a sound-controlled room , you 'll be hearing audio that 's pretty decent for the price . It 's a little bright and pretty tight , but the FiiO Control app lets you take matters into your own hands . Here , not only is there an in-depth EQ tool , but you can add low pass filters and pan sound between your left and right earbuds . Nice ! But leave home and the FiiO struggle . When out and about , I had persistent Bluetooth issues with the FW3 . The buds would lose connection and even turn off for no reason . Sometimes they 'd reconnect with tweaked audio settings . Sometimes they would n't turn back on at all . There 's no noise cancellation here , neither active nor passive , so honking horns and angry bus drivers will ruin your lovely customized music . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's admittedly high max volume ? Feel free to try , but you 're about to encounter as much peaking as someone trying to climb all of the Seven Summits . ( Image credit : Future ) A final nail in the coffin of the FW3 's outdoorsiness is a total lack of an IP rating -- better remove them when rain clouds start to gather . The case is bigger than rival wireless bud charging cases , though it 's not overwhelmingly huge . However , it feels cheap in the hand and , most importantly , frail . I could probably crush it in one hand if I tried . The battery life is pretty weak too , as during testing the buds lasted for noticeably less than their seven-hour stated time . I found this out the hard way when they conked out on my half way through a journey . So the ideal audience for the FiiO FW3 is people who 'll use them indoors , without the burden of the big case , low battery life or the need for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the testing period when I was sat at home , rather than commuting or in the office . If that 's you , you 'll find these to be decent value buds with some useful features . And if you live in the US , where the buds are a lot cheaper than in the UK , you can upgrade that ' decent ' to a ' good ' . ( Image credit : Future ) Unveiled in June 2023 Costs you $69.99 / ? 95 ( around AU$100-$180 ) It 's hard to place the FiiO FW3 in terms of market segment as it depends on price ; in the US they cost a very reasonable $69.99 but in the UK their ? 94.99 asking price raises them a price bracket ( that coverts to about $120 , so nearly twice as expensive ! ) . Some sites report that the FW3 originally retailed for $99 in the US ; at the time of writing this review , $69 is the official listed RRP @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'm going with . As with most of its true wireless earbuds , FiiO does n't sell the FW3 in Australia , but for some context the US price converts to $100 , while the UK one converts to $180 . So depending where you live , the FW3 are either competitive low-cost earbuds , or are verging on being mid-range ones . The FW3 went on sale at the end of June 2023 , several months after their pricier siblings , the FW5 .

The first blemish on the record is that they kept glitching and cutting out during multiple testing periods . This was always when I was out and about , with my phone in my pocket and the buds in my ears . Music would n't stop , but it 'd flicker and temporarily drop out , like a small candle flame that I 'd blown on . The second black mark was when I was n't outside , but at home , with buds and phone in close proximity . Several times both earbuds would turn off , unprompted , and turn back on again . I 'd have to resume music myself . A few times only one earbud turned off , and would automatically reconnect . And , before you ask , it was n't a battery issue , as they had sufficient charges . If you ca n't rely on your earbuds to stay connected to your phone , it 's hard to enjoy using them . I 've seen other reviewers and testers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an issue with the testing pair I used . ( Image credit : Future ) The buds have Bluetooth 5.2 , which is supposed to maintain a reliable connect of 10 meters , and yet these drop-outs were happening when they were within a single meter of each other . Most annoying , though , was that the L/R balance seemed to change sometimes between these cut-outs , and I 'd have to fix it in the app . Speaking of the app , it 's called FiiO Control -- and frankly it 's a game-changer for letting you tweak and fiddle audio to your taste . For audiophiles , you can fiddle with an in-depth EQ , balance sound between the left and right earbuds , change the max volume of both music , alerts and calls , add a low pass filter and even change the Bluetooth codec you 're streaming with . That 's a lovely range of features . Non-music toggles exist too : you can turn the bud indicator lights on or off , turn on a game mode for improved @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that stops your buds overcharging , to increase their longevity in the long run . Earbuds aficionados will find several common features missing here though . The main one is active noise cancellation -- your only way of avoiding background noise is to drown it out . Another is wear detection , so when you remove the buds , they 'll continue to play music . They wo n't stop until you both put them in the case and close the lid ( or pause your music ) . You also ca n't customize what the buttons on the buds do , and you 're locked to the default control scheme . In terms of battery life , the FiiO FW3 were n't really impressive . FiiO 's official stat is seven hours of use but in my testing I did n't get quite that far -- let 's all it an even six , although even that seems optimistic . The official stat for the case itself is 21 hours , which struggles to hold up to the competition . What 's that giant case for if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : 3/5 ( Image credit : Future ) Distinctive earpiece top-plate pattern Lots of eartips included in box Bulky , cheap-feeling charging case The FiiO FW3 are certainly compelling-looking earbuds . Or should I say ' com-shell-ing ' ? They 're small in-ear buds that you pop right into your ear . There 's no stem to speak of , and instead the bulk of the non-tip part of the buds are a round , bottle-top-looking shape with a pattern on top . I 've been comparing this pattern to a shell , though maybe that 's just my desire to head to the beach speaking ; you can decide what you think they look like yourself . The buds are fairly light , weighing 6.2g each , and with eight pairs of eartips included in the box , you 'll almost definitely be able to find a fit that 's suitable for you . I never had the buds fall out , though vigorous head shaking did threaten to dislodge them . My advice would be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : Future ) FiiO 's website does n't state an IP rating for the buds , so it 's best to assume they do n't have one . Do n't wear these in rainy weather or while rolling around on the beach . Each earbud has two physical buttons ; it takes a little bit of getting used to in order to naturally find them in relation to each other , and early on in testing I kept pressing the wrong one . However , they 're physical clicky buttons , which makes them a lot easier to use than haptic or sensor ones , and I eventually got used to the process of pressing them . I always had to use two fingers though , one to press and the other to stabilize the earbud , otherwise I 'd end up just pushing it out of my ear . Unfortunately , the FW3 's case does n't seem to have had the same design consideration that the buds do . It 's pretty chunky as far as charging cases go , weighing 68.4 x 43.9 x @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ buds inside . It 's also made out of cheap-feeling plastic , and has the USB-C charging port as well as four LED indicators to tell you the remaining charge . Design score : 3.5/5 V-shaped sound with high max volume Some peaking , especially in mid In-depth EQ options in app ( Image credit : Future ) The best thing to say about the FiiO FW3 's sound is that it 's very customizable , using the aforementioned app . You can eke out some extra bass or elevate the treble line to suit your taste , so they could be a good first pair for people who are n't sure what exact kind of sound they prefer . That 's doubly the case given that these buds wo n't exactly impress audiophiles if you stick to the default settings . The sound is roughly V-shaped , but in a very shallow ' V ' , with lower- and higher-frequency sounds lifted a little bit over mid , but not so much that mid is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ equalizer rides to the rescue : you can really pull out a lot of extra bass , focus on the mids , or throw the trebles into the stratosphere . You 'll need to spend quite a bit of the time in the EQ settings , though , with few presets and all your toggles split between a few different menus . ( Image credit : Future ) The FW3 has a nice high max volume , a trait you 'll find yourself utilizing in lieu of ANC in order to drown out background noise . However , doing so will ( as you might imagine ) , reveal peaking issues that are less audible at lower volumes . These issues mainly affect mid sounds , which can at times sound tinny , and bumping up that volume can see it affect treble to a lesser extent too . The audio is n't terrible though : it 's largely on par with what you 'd expect for headphones at this price . At least the buds have a nice bustling spec sheet . The FW3 are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and let you choose your Bluetooth codec from options including aptX Adaptive , aptX , AAC , LHDC or LDAC , though the app notes that the latter is ' experimental ' .

Sound quality : 3/5 ( Image credit : Future ) Misses many features of similar-priced buds As mentioned in the above price section , the value proposition of the FiiO FW3 depends on where you live , as they 're a lot cheaper in the US . So UK-based readers , do me a favor : pretend I 'm saying the below paragraphs after several pints at the pub . It 's not wrong , but I might be being unduly positive about some things . The FW3 mostly match other same-price rivals in terms of several features , including their music quality , their battery life , their design and their range of non-audio features like gaming latency . The EQ and touch controls beat out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ However , they miss out on a few features that rivals have , which some users might consider mandatory .

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

A top Republican Senate candidate vowed in an ad to not always vote with his GOP colleagues should he be elected , which could rankle his party 's leadership . Former Maryland Gov . Larry Hogan - who was widely popular during his two terms in the now solidly blue state - claimed in a TV ad that ' In the Senate , Republicans ca n't count on my vote , but then again , neither can Democrats . ' ' If they want my vote , they will have to do what is right for Maryland , not one political party . That 's exactly what I did as your governor , and it 's exactly the kind of Senator I 'll be , ' Hogan said .

The Tineco Floor One S5 is easy to handle and has a well-balanced design . It comes with a larger than average 800ml water tank and gives you up to 35 minutes run time when vacuuming and mopping hard floors . It has a smart sensor with powerful suction that adjusts to the task in hand , and also provides useful voice prompts so you know when to refill or recharge . While the design does n't go flat , its brush head does get right up to skirtings to clean thoroughly . The Tineco Floor One S5 is a cordless vacuum and mop with a floor-standing charging unit . During testing , I found it powerful and effective across all hard floor types including sealed wood in my living area and vinyl kitchen tiles . It ca n't , however , be used to refresh area rugs and mats like some designs can . I was impressed at how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ debris and cleaning fresh wet spills in my home . I found it a little harder to mop away older and more stubborn caked-on floor debris , however , but perhaps that 's just my fault for leaving them so long to clean up . The design has a digital control panel on its front with indicators to help you with the smooth running of the appliance . The device provides voice prompts too , which is useful when you 're in a hurry to navigate the controls . ( Image credit : Future ) I reviewed the Tineco Floor One S5 Extreme and found the design comfortable in hand and the controls useful and comprehensive . While it 's quite heavy , the self-propelling control makes this less of an issue . Overall , I think that if you have young kids who are prone to spilling food under the table , or you simply need to refresh a muddy hallway , this vacuum and mop in one is a handy tool to have on standby . It also works well for a quick fix on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ through . Read on to discover whether this one ranks with the best vacuum cleaners . List price : $499 / ? 399 GBP Launch date : April 2022 Availability : US / UK Based in China , Tineco sells a range of carpet cleaners , wet dry vacuums and smart vacuum cleaners . The Floor One S5 Extreme was added to its floorcare range in 2022 and at the time of writing , you can buy it on Amazon for $499 / ? 399 . While this comes at a premium price , it 's an intuitive design with a powerful and effective brush that I think helps justify the price .

This makes it ideal for utility rooms or under the stairs where you have a plug socket nearby . You 'll need some room to store it on display in a living room , however . When sat on its floor-standing charger , the handle is at a slight angle so it 's not completely flush up against the wall , which is something to bear in mind . Like the Shark HydroVac Cordless Hand Floor Cleaner , the Tineco Floor One S5 is easy on the eye . It has a graphite , white and navy finish with parts that look and feel stylish and premium . While it 's an expensive piece of kit , I can tell that it 's made with durable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a generous offering in the way of extras in the box . It has two extra brush rolls in the box and a filter that both needs replacing every 6 months , and a handy cleaning tool for giving the device a thorough clean . The kit also comes with its own Tineco branded deodorizing and cleaning solution , and you 'll need to make sure you only use this in the device . ( Image credit : Future ) The Tineco is similar in design and performance to the Shark HydroVac and both are designed to work across dry and wet spills on hard flooring . Both also have self-cleaning features , to help with upkeep and ensure the vacuum remains smelling fresh . While they are both similar in design , the Tineco is much heavier -- Shark is 3.95kg , while the Tineco is 7.8kg . While the Shark has a 500ml water tank , the Tineco has a more generous 800ml design , however , which is 30% larger than its last generation Floor One cleaner . Run times differ too -- with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up to 35 minutes on a full charge . The Tineco also has iLoop Smart Sensor Technology that takes the guesswork out of cleaning by detecting dirt and adjusting the suction accordingly -- more on that in the Performance section . There 's also a Tineco app that you can connect to on your smartphone to monitor usage and access user guides -- although this does n't enhance the experience with any remote control feature at present . It only supports 2.4G WiFI , and while I have dual broadband , after several failed attempts at connecting to it , I had to give up and admit defeat . Design score : 4.5 out of 5 iLoop Smart Sensor detects debris and adjusts suction power and water Up to 35 minutes run time on a full charge Comes with a self-cleaning mode I found setup of the Tineco Floor One S5 straightforward as there are n't too many parts to contend with . It was a matter of slotting the handle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the floor-standing charging dock . When the device is positioned on the docking station it delivers a voice prompt to let you know that ' charging has commenced ' . It 's then easy to see the battery level rise . This device is designed to remove dirt , grime , grease and tough stains from most types of hard surfaces and can be used on wet spills too . To give the design a fair trial , I used it across the sealed hard wood flooring in my living and dining area , and on the vinyl floor tiles in my kitchen . I used it a few times to get a good feel of how well it maneuvered when on a general vacuum and mop . To get it ready for its first clean I made sure it was suitably charged and added a capful of cleaning solution that comes in the box to the water tank . I then topped it up with water to its max line . I could clearly see how much battery life is left and what percentage the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also see when the dirty water tank needed changing and when the clean water tank had run out . By switching to the voice prompt button , it then told me when it was time to charge the cleaner or when the water tank needed filling . I really enjoyed using the Tineco Floor One S5 Extreme smart cordless vacuum cleaner and mop and while it ca n't be used on area rugs and carpets , it is great on non-carpeted floor surfaces such as vinyl , tile and sealed wood . To get a good idea of how well it works , I used it to clean up both wet and dry spills . I managed to use it for a full 30 minutes on hard floor before having to put it back on its charger . It has its own iLoop Smart Sensor that detects the level of debris and adjusts the suction power and water flow accordingly . There 's a ring that runs around the main control until that goes red when it detects dirt and clears to blue when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could also up the power by pressing the button on the handle to take the vacuum from auto mode to max mode . The device is quite heavy , but as it 's self-propelled it whizzed around the floor without too much effort on my part . I simply pushed to vacuum and pulled back to mop . It does n't leave the floor too wet or sodden either like some mops can , but mops evenly and leaves a mild , pleasant scent of the Tineco deodorizing and cleaning solution behind as the floor dries . While the head is large , it seemed to do a great job at getting close up to skirtings and up against furniture . I really think a crevice tool would enhance the design here , however , and because the handle does n't go flat you 're limited when it comes to cleaning under furniture . ( Image credit : Future ) I used it across my kitchen floor to clear up a milky cereal spillage and was amazed at how quickly and effortlessly it tackled the area . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ absorb water and not spray solution , which worked well here . I could then switch to auto mode to completely clean the surface . On dried-on cereal and general food stains under the table that had stuck to the surface , the mop needed a little more help and I found myself ramping up to max mode and going over the area a few times to dislodge and clean effectively . To get a good idea of how well the device can vacuum dirt and debris , I sprinkled oats on the floor to mimic larger debris and also sprinkled crushed biscuit and flour on the floor to mimic finer dust . The vacuum worked a charm on both messes without leaving any residue behind . To keep the device smelling fresh , you 'll need to clean it after every use . There is a self-cleaning mode that helps speed things along and cleans the interior but you will have to take out the dirty water tank to empty and clean the filter too . The brush roll will need to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This can be fiddly -- and rather grim if there 's a lot of mess -- but a simple wash under warm water straight after use keeps things fresh . I like the fact it has a cleaning brush to help with this as it came in useful . ( Image credit : Future ) In terms of noise levels , the Tineco is quite inoffensive . I used the Decibel Meter App to measure the Tineco at 68.1 decibels while it was in self-cleaning mode , which lasts over a minute . By comparison , the Shark HydroVac goes up to 83.1 decibels while in self-cleaning mode . Performance score : 4.5 out of 5 Swipe to scroll horizontally Attribute Notes Score Value for money While this is a pricey piece of kit , it 's powerful and very effective on dirt and wet spills . 4/5 Design It 's bulky and quite heavy , but looks stylish and glides smoothly across the floor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Performance I like the simplicity of the control panel as it 's designed for convenience and is easy to follow when you want to vacuum at full power or simply mop up a spill . 4.5/5 You want to streamline your appliances This vacuum and mop is an excellent multi-tasking tool that is effective on both wet and dry spills . It 's effective enough on hard floors so you can do away with a traditional mop . You want a device that takes out the guesswork This design has a comprehensive iLoop Smart Sensor that adjusts the power to suit the task in hand . The control panel goes from red to blue as you clean so you know when the job is done . You like the idea of a cleaning companion If you switch to voice prompt mode , this vacuum will provide voice prompts to make things even easier . You 're expecting smart remote control While this device does have an accompanying smartphone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wo n't offer smart remote control . You want crevice tools and upholstery attachments This design is great at getting right up to skirtings , but if you want to hoover in corners or clean up soft furnishings you 'll need a dedicated vacuum . You have a lot of carpet in your home This device works well in homes with a lot of sealed hard flooring . If you mostly have carpet , it 's probably not worth the spend . I 've been reviewing home appliances for over 20 years so know what makes for an ergonomic and useful design . Unlike a vacuum cleaner , the all-in-one vacuum and mop is n't a staple in many homes , but I 've recently noticed an increase in the number of companies promoting these multi-functional devices . I used the Tineco Floor One S5 in my home over the course of a month to see how well it could handle my flooring .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'takes the guess work out of cooking' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to describe removing uncertainty from the process of cooking, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a product feature without the required grammatical and semantic properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'out of blending' does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate with a causee object, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'blending' is a gerund functioning as the object of the preposition 'out of', similar to the examples in (7a) and (7b).

A National Lottery winner 's seven life-changing words to her mum after checking her ticket have been revealed . Toni Henderson won ? 1million on a Lucky Dip ticket , and admits she could not believe the amount of money she won with the life-changing moment . The 32-year-old said : " I am just a normal person , living payday to payday . The rent has just gone up and I live on my own . With managing the bills it was starting to get a bit of a struggle . The win will help me massively - I have so much freedom now and I feel a lot more independent . " It gives my son the start he deserves and I want the money to last for our future . To be honest , I feel a bit guilty for spending it as I have n't earned it . I am so unbelievably grateful but it 's going to take a lot of time to sink in . " " On the odd Saturday I might buy some Lucky Dips on Lotto , which is exactly what I did that afternoon . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up at eight the next morning and thought I would have a look , " she said . " I checked one of the lines and realised I had some of the numbers . I originally thought I had matched five numbers , which was ? 1,700 and I was buzzing that I 'd won that - it was extra money I did n't have . " But when I logged into my online account it came along the top that I had won ? 1M . I sat there counting the zeros , shaking in bed , whilst my son was still asleep . I tried to ring my mum but she was n't answering so I woke my son up and we jumped in the car to mum 's . She was visibly concerned when we turned up out of the blue and kept asking what was wrong . " I remember saying something like , ' I think you need to sit down ' before telling her that I 'd won ? 1M on The National Lottery - she could n't believe it . She @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just stood there shaking . I was on autopilot for the rest of the day and did n't sleep a wink that night . " " There are no words to express how you feel . I had this excited butterfly feeling having the win officially confirmed and then seeing all of the zeros in my bank account , " she added . " You sit and think about what you 'd do all the time if you won , but then , when it happens , you do n't know what to do . " " I did take my son shopping and we bought some toys but even then I told him certain things were too expensive . I have always had to be cautious with money so it does n't feel right to spend lots on things I would n't have bought before . I am not a materialistic person , even now I find a pair of trainers over ? 100 far too expensive . " She added : " I texted my manager and said , ' something bizarre has happened at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' . When I told him I 'd won ? 1M on The National Lottery at the weekend he could not believe it . I asked to have a few days off to try and get my head around it all . " I want to keep working - it gives my son a good upbringing and he can learn the value of working hard . My mum has always worked and I want him to have a good mindset and learn that for the nice things in life , you have to earn them . I want to be a good role model for him . I have worked since the age of 17 - I would be bored and lost if I did n't work . " She continued : " I eventually want to buy a house and I have been looking at new cars and settled on a Kia Sportage in the end , which I love ! You think you 're going to get a flash one when you win , but I quickly realised that really is n't me . I am @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that 's a first for me . " She said " I 'm not a greedy person - I just want to help others really . I 've helped out family members and I want to do something special for my mum and dad . No amount of money can repay them for all they have done for me . I am also going to take my son to Disney World Florida . You only live once and he has never been abroad . " That is a one-off trip that I would n't have been able to do before the win . I get a lot of comfort out of helping others -- that 's what I get a buzz out of .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'you' is the NP subject, 'talk' is the V1, 'yourself' is the NP object (a reflexive pronoun coreferential with the subject), and 'trying things before you even begin' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also fits the prevention interpretation, as the action of talking oneself out of trying things prevents the subject from engaging in those activities. This aligns with the atypical type of NP object (reflexive) as described in the sixth property.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses the phrase 'get the most out of using Boothill', which does not involve a causer and causee relationship or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase is more about maximizing the benefits of using Boothill rather than preventing or extracting someone from an action.

Boothill is a 5-Star Physical character of The Hunt path who debuted in Honkai : Star Rail during version 2.2 . While Boothill is featured as the boosted 5-Star character on his Dusty Trail 's Lone Star Banner in version 2.2 , he will eventually return to Honkai : Star Rail at some point in the future when the Banner schedule cycles back to him . If you want to prepare for getting him , we 've detailed Boothill 's Ascension materials and Trace materials so you can level him up to his full potential right away . To understand how you might play him , we 've also detailed what we know about Boothill 's kit and Eidolons . Enhanced Basic Attack : Fanning the Hammer - Deals Physical damage equal to 110% of Boothill 's attack to a single enemy . This enhanced Basic Attack ca n't recover Skill Points , and can only target the enemy currently with Standoff . Skill : Sizzlin ' Tango - When used , his Skill makes the targeted enemy and Boothill enter the Standoff @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he ca n't use his Skill , lasting for two turns . The remaining turn count reduces by one at the start of Boothill 's turn . The enemy target in Standoff is taunted . When the target/Boothill receives an attack from the other , the damage they receive increases by 15% . After the target is defeated or becomes Weakness Broken , Boothill obtains one stack of Pocket Trickshot , then dispels Standoff . His Skill ca n't regenerate Energy , but his turn will not end after using it . Ultimate : Dust Devil 's Sunset Rodeo - Boothill applies Physical Weakness to a target enemy , lasting for two turns . He also deals Physical damage equal to 240% of his attack to the target , and delays their action by 30% . Talent ( passive ability ) : Five Peas in a Pod - Every stack of Trickshot increases Boothill 's Enhanced Basic Attack 's Toughness-Reducing damage by 50% , stacking up to three times . If the target is Weakness Broken when his Enhanced Basic Attack is used , for every stack of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this target equal to 35% of Boothill 's Physical Break Damage . The maximum Toughness taken into account by this attack ca n't exceed 16 times the base Toughness-Reducing Damage dealt by the ' Skull crush Spurs ' attack . After winning a battle , Boothill can retain Pocket Trickshot for the next battle . Technique ( overworld ability ) : 3-9x Smile - When using Boothill 's Skill for the first time in the next battle , Physical Weakness is added to the target , equal to that applied by his Ultimate . This lasts for two turns . Bonus Trace 1 : Ghost Load - Increases Boothill 's Crit Rate by 10% of his Break Effect , and his Crit Damage by 50% of his Break Effect . Crit Rate can only be increased by a maximum of 30% , whereas Crit Damage can be increased by a maximum of 150% . Just like Ascension , to get the most out of using Boothill you will have to level-up his attacks and passive abilities by using Trace materials @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you 'll need to use a lot of Meteoric Bullet and Tatters-based materials to fully upgrade his capabilities .

This material allows you to unlock Eidolon levels , with each upgrade either improving an existing attack or passive ability . Image credit : HoYoverse Here are all of Boothill 's Eidolons in Honkai : Star Rail : Dusty Trail 's Lone Star ( E1 ) : At the start of battle , Boothill obtains one stack of Pocket Trickshot , allowing him to deal damage that ignores 16% of an enemy target 's Defence . Milestonemonger ( E2 ) : When Pocket Trickshot is obtained via his Talent , Boothill regenerates one Skill Point and increases his Break Effect by 30% , lasting for two turns .

When Boothill is attacked by the enemy target in Standoff , the effect of receiving more damage is reduced by 12% on him . Stump Speech ( E5 ) : Increases the level of Boothill 's Skill and Talent by two , with a maximum upgrade Level of 15 . Crowbar Hotel 's Raccoon ( E6 ) : When triggering Boothill 's Talent Break Damage , he deals additional Break Damage to the target , equal to 40% of the original damage multiplier , and deals Break Damage to adjacent targets equal to 70% of the original damage multiplier .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee, and the phrase 'getting the best from your connected car apps' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'out of' is used to indicate the removal of hassle, which does not align with the construction's properties.

Instead, it seems to be about deriving benefits or experiences from being on the series, which does not align with the defined properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

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

| gb-15692 | 24-06-01 | pricing many people out of being | 2 | But the price really is the biggest disadvantage , pricing many people out of being able to afford them . | ✔️ | [link] | ⭕ |
Reasoning
×
The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject ('the price') + V1 ('pricing') + NP object ('many people') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('being able to afford them'). It also gives rise to a prevention interpretation, where the high price prevents many people from being able to afford them. The verb 'pricing' can be classified under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically'. The NP object 'many people' functions as a causee who is affected by the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

I tried five pairs of straighteners and you do n't need to spend a fortune to get the best results ( Image : Beth Shufflebotham ) In a world where Dyson and Shark are head-to-head to release the next best hair tool , it can be tricky for other brands to even get close to the top spot . The hair industry has seen many hairstylers come through - with crimpers and tight curling wands seeing us through the 80s and 90s , steam straighteners making an appearance in the 90s and into the 00 's , And now hair extension-friendly stylers , hair wavers and tools to make our hair sleeky and smooth are now here to stay . Finding the perfect flat iron that delivers sleek results without causing heat damage , and that has functional features without breaking the bank , can prove to be something of a challenge - but we put our beauty expert Beth to the test . Do you splurge ? 300 on the Dyson Corrale , stick with the salon-loved ghd , or opt for a more budget-friendly pair to achieve your pin-straight locks ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for you , I tested out five pairs of hair straighteners from some of the most well-known brands in the business , including Cloud Nine , GHD , Dyson , Glamoriserand Remington . And while some of the high-end tools certainly left me impressed ( with incredibly glossy hair ) , it turns out you do n't necessarily have to spend hundreds of pounds to find the perfect pair that will leave your tresses beautifully sleek , styled and shiny without any static or split ends . Here 's what I found when I pitted five pairs straighteners against one another over the course of a year . When my near-decade-old ghd straighteners finally kicked the bucket , I needed a pair to tide me over until I could afford a new set of respected straighteners . Amazon shoppers had said they 've ' abandoned ' their expensive flat irons in favour of these affordable Remington straighteners , and so , I put my faith in almost 19.000 five-star Amazon reviews and decided to give them a chance . I 'm yet to ' upgrade ' - but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hair Therapy Straightener is currently reduced on Amazon ( Image : Beth Shufflebotham ) The straightenersthemselves look the part , with a sleek black and white design , teal-coloured plates and a digital temperature display . There 's a power switch with temperature control buttons which allow you to select the right setting for your hair , ranging from 150 to 230 degrees . My hair after using the Remington straighteners ( Image : Bethan Shufflebotham ) Upon switching them on , they took around 20 seconds to heat up , and I opted for one of the lower heat settings on my relatively fine hair , but the option is there to amp it up if you have thick or wavy locks . The Advanced Ceramic coated platesare infused with Moroccan Argan Oil and Vitamin E , while the floating plates make them spongy and allow for even pressure on the hair , so not was my hair styled to perfection , it was left shiny and healthy-looking too . The device made light work of giving me pin-straight locks without leaving my bleached @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ styling my hair with heat , in fact , it was left feeling really moisturised and glossy . Other shoppers have left glowing reviews for the straighteners , which are currently number 30 in the haircare best-sellers list on Amazon . There are more than 26,000 reviews , with 80 per cent of them being five stars , many of which claim they 're better than the big-name brands . One said : " My trusty GHDs broke but I was n't in a position to buy another pair so after looking at Amazon reviews I opted for these . They probably take a fraction longer to warm up than my GHDs and there is no audible beep to let you know it 's got to temperature but a quick glance at the screen you know when it has . " Once warmed up they are just as easy to use and in no time my hair was perfectly straight . In fact my hair stays straight for days afterwards no touch-up required . " Another added : " Honestly just as good as a previous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ money I love them . " I have to agree that it 's a shame there 's no sound to signal that the device is up to temperature , but you can check the digital screen to find out when they 're ready - which is no time at all . It 's also handy to know that they have a 60-minute shut-off for safety . Some shoppers reported some snagging on the plates , but I did n't find this to be the case with my hair . The straightenersglided through like silk with no dragging or catching , which helps avoid those pesky heat marks in the hair , too . The straightenersalso have a ' lock ' function so that you can store them closed , however I did find this a bit tricky to apply - you do have to give it a good push and there seems to be a knack . I have found it becomes easier the more you use them , as it is very handy for storing them . For the price , I really could n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ straighten all my hair and styling no longer felt like a chore . You can shop the Remington straighteners here on Amazon . Launched in 2020 , the Dyson Corraleis the first straightener that uses patented flexing plates that help shape to gather the hair and deliver enhanced styling with half the damage compared to leading competitors . I found the Corrale'sto be a gorgeous design , easy to set up , quick to heat and a joy to use . The colours are stunning , and the presentation case is fantastic for storing them safely without them getting scratched . The device beeps after about 25 seconds to let you know it 's reached temperature , with three adjustable heat settings 165 ? C , 185 ? C and 210 ? C , and will also alert you if the battery is low . The cordless design is something of a game changer , particularly for travelling , however is n't all that necessary for use in the house because I always stand in the mirror that has a plug socket @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unique flexing plates of the Dyson Corrale straightenermould to the hair section being styled . This gives you more control and creates better styling results . As the plates adapt to the hair , they apply tension evenly and stop any strands from separating , reducing frizz and flyaways . The results from the Dysonand Remington pairs are exactly what I look for with a pair of straighteners , so for me , I personally would n't fork out ? 400 when a budget-friendly pair that 's under ? 30 most of the yearcan do a very similar job . If you are thinking about investing in a Dyson product , my favourite of the three is the Supersonic over the Corrale or Airwrap - read why here . Glamoriser 's smart straightener connects to your phone so you can switch them off in the app ( Image : Bethan Shufflebotham ) Glamoriser 's smart straightener connects to your phone so you can switch it off in the app The Glamoriserwas the world 's first pair of Bluetooth straighteners , connecting to a free mobile app @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ app asks a series of questions about your hair in order to find the best settings for you , and saves them in order to prevent heat damage . And for those prone to forgetting to turn off their straighteners , you can do that from the app , too . The Glamoriser Smart Straightener heats up in 15 secondsand has a digital temperature control that ranges from 80 ? C - 235 ? C. The Floating Ceramic Plates have a Black Diamond Oil-induced ionic system which blasts out tiny ions to reduce frizz , leaving hair looking shiny and poker straight . While the G lamoriser straighteners were ahead of the curvewhen they launched in 2019 , no one else seems to have tried to replicate it , which makes me wonder if it 's a feature that was really necessary . While the straighteners are very effective as a styling tool , the app was one of the first things to be deleted on my phone when I got that dreaded ' storage full ' notification , and I 've never bothered to re-install it . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and they really are a great mid-range tool that will last for years to come . This pair is a limited edition colourway but it 's the same inner workings as the Original Iron , which is a really good all-rounder . Cloud Nine believes ' less is more ' with heat , with a Variable Temperature Control from 100 ? C to 200 ? C. The only pair that go any lower than this is the Glamoriser , but the Cloud Ninesare still suitable for a range of hair types . The device feels really lightweight and the swivel cord makes it easy to style the back of your hair , or use them to curl without getting tangled up , and also prolongs their life as it 's usually the cord that breaks on a pair of straighteners . They take 20 seconds to reach maximum temperatures , and will turn themselves off after 30 minutes of inactivity . The Cloud Nine makes light work of styling , with the Ceramic Floating Plates designed with Spring-Flex Technology that adjust when closed to help prevent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ looks thick and healthy after using these . Their only downside is their price and more limited temperature range than some of the others , and you can see a few fliaways still in the photo . My sister was a hairdresser for over a decade and still refuses to look at any other brand besides ghd . The Original Styleris a cult classic and is an incredibly popular hair tool in the mid-range price bracket , and for good reason - their performance is impressive , but have they failed to keep up with the competition ? The automatic sleep mode switches the styler off after 30 minutes , while the swivel cord allows for flexibility , and while the tool does leave my tresses looking rather lush , there are just a couple of reasons they 're not my favourite tool . The first one is cosmetic really - I think self-coloured plates look best on straighteners and the creamy colour of these shows up every mark on them and always look like they need a clean - but it does make them immediately recognisable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 30-second heat up time , which is double the Glamoriser , and the biggest point is that they 're the only ones in the list without a variable temperature . The Original Styler heats to 185 ? C , and maintains the optimum styling temperature across both styling plates with generation single-zone ceramic technology . However , I feel having that flexibility with some of the other brands to select a lower or higher temperature is much needed to personalise your styling routine . For me , the Remingtonoffers a sleek design , a fast heating speed , great temperature range and beautiful results , but the longest auto shut-off . Though I 'm not one to leave my straighteners plugged in , so that does n't bother me too much . The price is unbeatable for the quality , and the reviews from shoppers speak for themselves . Whenever we 've written about the tool in the last 12 months , the comments section has been filled with glowing testimonials , while they were the second most purchased product by Mirror readers in 2023 , with over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the tools are disappointing , the Dysonis the one that impressed me the most , because truly , who does n't adore the innovation of Dyson 's designs . But the price really is the biggest disadvantage , pricing many people out of being able to afford them . And that 's why for me , the Remington is our best hair straightener .

Fraser Wilson : The majority of his time was spent in the commercial department and he had success there .

There were some commercial gains in the background but major missteps like the Australia shambles . Gers need a serious heavy hitter in the CEO hotseat . Andy : At 29 this would appear to be the last window where they could extract maximum value but there 's no point cashing in if they do n't have an adequate replacement .

Even an inconsistent season produced 19 strikes . Kyogo 's sale would leave a huge hole . Michael : He 's a proven goalscorer with a big-game mentality .

Andy : Lower-league clubs wo n't like it but it 's absolutely the right call for the top division . Plastic pitches look awful on TV and the standard of play on them is n't much better . But the Premiership clubs must also ensure they up their own turf game . Fraser : I fear not . Expect more call-offs . Okay , plastic can fall victim to the weather too but not nearly as often as some of our grass pitches . This is going to put an almighty strain on some of our ambitious lower-league clubs . Michael : It 's definitely a positive step @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some financial help given to clubs making the transition , on top of the two-year grace period .

Fraser : Goals . Lots . For Scotland . It 's a game designed to get our forwards up to speed and our creative players on the ball . Hopefully a clean sheet at the other end , game time for a good number of players and certainly no injuries . Michael : A very uninspiring narrow win with no injuries .

I do n't think there are many breweries earning money . It 's a very difficult industry . " Fast forward eight months and Craig 's words ring even truer . Figures from the Society of Independent Brewers ( SIBA ) show there was a minus 38 net closure rate of breweries across the UK in the first quarter of 2024 . In Merseyside and the North West , that has been felt acutely - with three high-profile closures in recent months . A quarter of UK pubs have closed since 2000 - a loss of more than 13,000 venues . Across the country , more than 500 pubs closed in 2023 alone . As such there is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , according to Peter Cotzier , chair of Liverpool Beer Collective - an organisation which supports the bars , pubs and breweries on Merseyside . Peter , 43 , from Mossley Hill , told the ECHO : " The feeling among us is almost one of resignation , I suppose . It 's been a creeping dread over the last few years with multiple things making it harder and harder for breweries to trade , operate , make more beers and be creative . " It 's hard to plan to make more beer , to get it to public houses and bottle shops and customers . It 's been one thing after another for six or seven years . Brexit and then the ongoing increase of the cost of ingredients - Brexit has contributed to that with importing yeast , specialist malts and exporting your beer . " It 's been expected really . We did wonder how long some breweries could hold out . We 're very disappointed but it 's been coming . " Owners Vicky and Gareth Morgan , from Garston , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ needs to be done to support breweries , pubs and bars . Gareth told the ECHO : " It 's a really sad situation - Liverpool was finally putting itself on the beer map . We noticed this from having tourists visit the city to visit the brewery taps so this will have a huge impact - not just in Liverpool but across the country . " The biggest reason for these closures is the cost of living crisis , we 're seeing a lot less spare money to go to the pub , so the pubs are struggling and their demand for beer is going down . " The breweries have had to put up their prices like every other industry , but with pubs closing there are fewer places to sell their beer to . The knock-on effect is that they are forced to increase their prices , which is then passed onto the bar , which is then passed onto the customer . " Asked how breweries could survive and then thrive , Gareth said : " I think the only way to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but do n't compromise on the product and service that 's delivered . Until the government reduces the beer tax then sadly we 'll see a lot more breweries closing . " Chancellor Jeremy Hunt froze alcohol duty in the spring budget , but industry bodies have campaigned for it to be cut . SIBA called for more to be done to support pubs and breweries , in particular , to address debts accumulated across the sector during the coronavirus pandemic . High production costs and the tax burden remain two of the biggest challenges facing the industry , according to Vicky and Gareth . Gareth said : " The craft beer drinker is always looking for the next new beer - as well as some favourites , but this then puts the pressure on the breweries to continue to introduce new brews . The price increases on utilities and ingredients has shot up so much that some bars ca n't afford to buy the kegs - but this is no fault of the breweries . " Peter agrees . He said " The biggest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Gordon Brown introducing a small brewers tax levy in 2002 . That was a big catalyst for breweries over here to say ' It 's become a bit more of a viable way to make a living . " Twinned with the fact that Americans started the craft beer revolution , creating new styles , that was a big thing . " I think we need something similar now . Things like tax breaks for smaller breweries would help . " We wo n't be able to do anything about the cost of importing yeast and malts , most of our hops come from abroad now . It costs a lot to import them now on the back of Brexit . " There are things that can be adjusted but I think a tax break would be the biggest thing that would make it viable for people to make a living out of making beer again . It 's reached the point where it 's gone backwards . " Peter does see some signs of optimism , however . He explained : " There are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is one . That 's encouraging , Hex Brewing has opened in Southport . " Colbier said to me there 's never really a good time to open something in hospitality , because it always feels like a battle through one thing or another - the costs mainly . " For Gareth , it is a case of industry battling on as a whole - hopefully with consumers on board to buy a few pints and support them . He said : " It 's a long road ahead . We just hope people are there to support the pubs , in turn then the pubs can support the breweries and we can all get through this together . " |

Furina is a 5-Star Hydro Archon who was added to Genshin Impact during version 4.2 . While Furina is featured as the boosted 5-Star character in her Chanson of Many Waters Banner in version 4.7 , she will eventually return at some point in the future when the Banner schedule cycles back to her . Whether you have her , or want to prepare for getting her , it 's good to know the best Furina build in Genshin Impact , including her best Artifacts and best team . It 's also handy to learn what her Constellation perks are , and what Furina Talent materials and Ascension materials are needed to level up Furina to her full potential . Furina is a 5-Star Hydro character who uses a sword , and is best used in a support role while off field to boost your entire party 's damage , while also applying a little Hydro . Image credit : HoYoverse Here 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Element : Hydro . Rarity : 5-Star . Weapon : Sword . Normal Attack : Soloist 's Solicitation . Elemental Skill : Salon Solitaire . Elemental Burst : Let the People Rejoice . Passive one : Endless Waltz ( If the source of healing is not Furina when the active character in your party receives healing and healing overflows , then Furina will heal a nearby party member for 2% of their Max HP once every two seconds within the next four seconds ) . Passive two : Unheard Confession ( Every 1,000 points of Furina 's Max HP increases Salon Member damage dealt by 0.7% , up to a maximum of 28% , and decreases the active character 's healing interval of the Singers of the Streams by 0.4% , up to a maximum of 16% ) . When tapping the normal attack button Furina can perform up to four consecutive strikes . Holding the button instead consumes stamina for a charged attack , which deals Physical damage to nearby opponents and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or Singers of the Streams summoned by her Elemental Skill are present , their lineup will switch in response . Furina 's plunge attack is pretty standard , as she plunges down from above to deal AOE damage upon impact , and damages opponents along her path down . Additionally , at intervals when Furina 's normal attacks hit , a Surging Blade or a Spiritbreath Thorn will descend based on her current alignment , dealing Hydro damage . When Furina takes the field , her starting Arkhe will always be Ousia . Salon Solitaire summons either the Salon Members or the Singers of the Streams based on Furina 's current Arkhe alignment . While the Salon Members and the Singer of Many Waters are on the field , Furina can move on the water 's surface . When the Salon Members attack , if characters with more than 50% HP are nearby , the Members will consume the characters ' HP and increase their current attack power based on the number of characters who have " offered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consumed are 1/2/3/4 ( or more ) , the Members ' attacks will deal 110%/120%/130%/140% of their original damage . Pneuma-aligned Summons the Singers of of Many Waters instead , who heals nearby active characters at intervals based on Furina 's Max HP . The Salon Members and Singers of of Many Waters share a duration , and when Furina uses her charged attack to change her alignment , the new guests will inherit the initial duration . Furina 's Salon Members in action . Image credit : HoYoverse Furina creates a stage of foam that deals AOE Hydro damage based on her Max HP and causes all party members to enter the Universal Revelry state . In this state , when nearby party members ' HP increases or decreases , they grant Furina one Fanfare Point based on the percentage their Max HP changed . At the same time , Furina increases both the damage dealt and Incoming Healing Bonus of all nearby party members , based on the amount of Fanfare she has . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cleared . Energy Nectar . Image credit : HoYoverse To get the most out of using Furina , you will have to level her skills up by using Talent materials , which vary from character-to-character . For Furina , you need to farm a lot of Nectar and Justice materials ( if you do n't already have them ) to fully upgrade her capabilities . As Furina has three Talents , you will have to spend three times the Talent materials listed below to fully upgrade all of her abilities , which we 've also detailed below the table . Here 's what Furina Talent materials you need to improve one of her abilities : Just like Talents , you need to use Furina Ascension materials to upgrade her health , attack , defence , and critical hit effectiveness . You need to farm a lot of Lakelight Lily and Nectar materials for Furina ( if you do n't already have them ) to fully upgrade her capabilities . Unlike @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ascension materials once to fully raise Furina to her highest character level . There is also Acquaint Fate rewarded for reaching certain Ascension levels . You can spend this Fate on the standard and beginner Banners to Wish for characters and weapons . Here 's what Furina Ascension materials and Mora you need to upgrade her for each Ascension level : By getting duplicates of Furina from wishing on Banners , you will receive her Stella Fortuna . This material allows you to unlock Constellation levels , with each upgrade either improving an existing Talent or Passive ability . A Woman Adapts Like Duckweed in Water ( C2 ) : Furina 's Fanfare gain from increases or decreases in nearby characters ' HP is increased by 250% while her Elemental Burst lasts . Each point of Fanfare above the limit increases Furina 's Max HP by 0.35% , with a maximum Max HP increase of 140% . They Know Not Life , Who Dwelt in the Netherworld Not ! ( C4 ) : Furina restores four Energy when the Salon Members @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Singers of the Streams restore HP to the active character . This effect can trigger once every five seconds . His Name I Now Know , It Is ... ! ( C5 ) : Increases the Level of Furina 's Elemental Skill by three , with a maximum upgrade level of 15 . Hear Me - Let Us Raise the Chalice of Love ( C6 ) : When using her Elemental Skill , Furina gains the ' Center of Attention ' buff for ten seconds . While buffed , Furina 's normal , charged , and plunging attacks are converted into Hydro damage which can not be overridden by any other elemental infusion . Damage is also increased by 18% of Furina 's max HP . Throughout Center of Attention , Furina 's normal , charged , and plunging attacks also cause different effects up to every 0.1 seconds after hitting opponents , depending on her current Arkhe alignment : Ousia aligned - All nearby characters in the party are healed by 4% of Furina 's max HP every one second for a duration of 2.9 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pneuma aligned - Normal , charged , and plunging attack impact damage is further increased by 25% of Furina 's max HP . When any of the attacks mentioned previously hit an opponent , all nearby characters in the party consume 1% of their current HP . During each instance of Center of Attention , the above effects can trigger up to six times . Center of Attention ends when its effects have triggered six times , or when its duration expires . When first looking at her kit , it seems like Furina should be used as a Hydro applicator with healing abilities , but she 's actually an incredible support who boosts the damage of your entire team with her Elemental Burst . The downside to this is that her healing capabilities have turned out to be a bit lacklustre . So , your goal with Furina is to switch to her Ousia-aligned Skill by using a charged attack to summon three Salon Member water creatures who apply a little Hydro to enemies , then use her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ health to boost the damage of your entire team , up to an incredible 75% at times . Image credit : HoYoverse All you have to do is repeat this simple attack pattern in your rotations and aim to get as much Fanfare as possible while in Furina 's Burst to get the most potential out of Furina 's incredible support abilities . While Furina can heal a little in her Pneuma alignment , it 's not good enough to sacrifice the increased damage you get from her Ousia alignment . So , we highly recommend you run a healer with Furina , ideally a healer who can restore HP to multiple characters at once , as Furina 's kit constantly drains HP for the entire party . Make sure you have a good healer , like Baizhu , in your Furina teams ! With this in mind , the best healers in Furina teams are Baizhu , Jean , Kokomi or Yaoyao . Although you 'd be forgiven for forgetting he exists , Mika finally has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alternative 4-Star healer to pair with Furina , as is Charlotte . Once you 've picked a healer , Teyvat is your oyster when building Furina teams . She slots into almost every established elite and regular team in need of a Hydro support to create Elemental reactions such as Hyperbloom , Quickbloom , Melt , Vape , or Freeze . If you need a lot of Hydro application , however , then we highly recommend running another Hydro character alongside Furina , ideally Yelan or Xingqiu . If you want to play an on-field DPS , there are lots of viable options depending on the Elemental Reaction you want to trigger , such as Raiden Shogun , Alhaitham , and Cyno , but Neuvillette has the best DPS synergy with Furina overall . Although we 've singled out some notable characters , Furina really can help out in almost any team in Genshin Impact as long as you have a good healer paired with her . So feel free to mix up your party and experiment thanks to Furina 's unique buffs . The best Artifact set for Furina in Genshin Impact is the 4-piece Golden Troupe , as it increases Furina 's Elemental Skill damage by 45% on field , and by 70% when Furina 's not on the field . This is a huge buff , as most of Furina 's personal damage comes from her Skill while she 's not on the field . There are some alternative Artifacts for Furina if you do n't have a good Golden Troupe set , most notably mixing the 2-piece Golden Troupe with either Tenacity of the Millelith , Heart of Depth , or Nymph 's Dream . These either raise Furina 's Hydro damage or max HP . As for Furina 's Artifact stats , you 'll want to get enough Energy Recharge to consistently use her Burst in your rotations . Once you have enough Energy Recharge , we recommend prioritising the usual Crit Damage and Crit Rate stats , but having HP% is also great for Furina , as this is what she scales off . At Refinement 1 and Level 90 , Splendor of Tranquil Waters Elemental increases Furina 's Skill damage by 8% for 6 seconds when Furina 's HP increases or decreases , with a maximum of three stacks . This effect can trigger once every 0.2 seconds . When other party members ' current HP increases or decreases , Furina 's Max HP is increased by 14% for 6 seconds , for a maximum of 2 stacks . This effect can also be triggered once every 0.2 seconds . Additionally , all of these Splendor of Tranquil Waters effects can be triggered whether Furina is on or off field . Image credit : HoYoverse You can repurpose other 5-Star swords for Furina , most notably the Primordial Jade Cutter for its HP increase . Additionally , Key of Khaj-Nisut , Light of Foliar Incision , Haran Geppaku Futsu , and Mistsplitter Reforged are decent 5-Star alternatives for their base stats . However , one of Furina 's best weapons is actually the 4-Star Festering @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ damage and Skill Crit Rate . As this is a very old event weapon , you might not have access to it . If you do n't have Festering Desire , then the Fleuve Cendre Ferryman is a decent 4-Star alternative , as is Wolf-Fang .

Alhaitham is a 5-Star Dendro character who was added to Genshin Impact during version 3.4 . While Alhaitham is featured as the boosted 5-Star character in his Caution in Confidence Banner during version 4.7 , he will eventually return at some point in the future when the Banner schedule cycles back to him . Whether you have him , or want to prepare for getting him , it 's good to know the best Alhaitham build in Genshin Impact , including his best Artifacts and best team . It 's also handy to learn what his Constellation perks are , and what Alhaitham Talent materials and Ascension materials are needed to level up Alhaitham to his full potential . Alhaitham is a 5-Star Dendro character who uses a sword , and is best used in an on-field main DPS role , due to the Chisel-Light Mirrors he can generate which boosts his damage . Here 's a summary of Alhaitham 's abilities and stats in Genshin Impact : Element : Dendro . Rarity : 5-Star . Weapon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Best build : On-field main DPS . Normal Attack : Abductive Reasoning . Elemental Skill : Universality - An Elaboration on Form . Elemental Burst : Particular Field - Fetters of Phenomena . Passive one : Four-Casual Correction ( One Chisel-Light Mirror is generated every time Alhaitham 's charged or plunging attacks hit an enemy , which can be triggered every 12 seconds ) . Passive two : Mysteries Laid Bare ( Each point of Alhaitham 's Elemental Mastery increases the damage of his projection attacks and Elemental Burst by 0.1% , with the maximum damage increase for both of these abilities capping at 100% ) . Crafting bonus : Law of Reductive Overdetermination ( 10% chance to receive double the item when Alhaitham is used to craft Weapon Ascension materials ) . Alhaitham performs up to five rapid strikes with his sword , with his charged attack consuming stamina to perform two rapid strikes instead . Plunging from mid-air will cause AOE damage to enemies upon impact , and damage any touched on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : An Elaboration on Form If tapping the Elemental Skill button , Alhaitham rushes forward , dealing Dendro damage to nearby enemies and creating a Chisel-Light Mirror , or two if there are none present on the field . If the button is held instead , he will enter an aiming mode where you can adjust the direction of where he will rush to when it 's let go . When Alhaitham has at least one Chisel-Light Mirror present , his normal , charged , and plunging attacks are all converted into Dendro damage which ca n't be overridden . When hitting with a normal , charged , or plunging attack with a Chisel-Light Mirror active , they will create a Projection Attack , dealing AOE Dendro damage based on how many mirrors are present . Only three Chisel-Light Mirrors can exist at the one time , and if Alhaitham leaves the field , all of his mirrors will disappear . Alhaitham creates a Particular Binding Field and also deals multiple instances of AOE Dendro @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if there are Chisel-Light Mirrors present when his Elemental Burst is used . More mirrors are also generated after using his burst , depending on how many mirrors were consumed . The more consumed , the less will be generated . Here 's how many are created per mirror consumed : None consumed - Three Chisel-Light Mirrors generated One consumed - Two Chisel-Light Mirrors generated Two consumed - One Chisel-Light Mirrors generated Three consumed - No Chisel-Light Mirrors generated Rich Red Brocade . To get the most out of using Alhaitham , you will have to level his skills up by using Talent materials , which vary from character-to-character . For Alhaitham , you 'll need to farm a lot of Rich Red Brocade and Ingenuity materials ( if you do n't already have them ) to fully upgrade his capabilities . As Alhaitham has three Talents , you will have to spend three times the Talent materials listed below to fully upgrade all of his abilities , which we 've also detailed below the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need to improve one of his abilities : Here 's what Talent Materials you 'll need to fully upgrade one of Alhaitham 's skills : x1 Crown of Insight x3 Teachings of Ingenuity x6 Faded Red Satin x6 Mirror of Mushin x21 Guide to Ingenuity x22 Trimmed Red Silk x31 Rich Red Brocade x38 Philosophies to Ingenuity 1,652,500 Mora To upgrade all three of Alhaitham 's skills , here 's all the Talent Materials you need : x3 Crown of Insight x9 Teachings of Ingenuity x18 Faded Red Satin x18 Mirror of Mushin x63 Guide to Ingenuity x66 Trimmed Red Silk x93 Rich Red Brocade x114 Philosophies to Ingenuity 4,957,500 Mora Sand Grease Pupa . Just like Talents , you need to use Alhaitham Ascension materials to upgrade his health , attack , defence , and critical hit effectiveness . You need to farm a lot of Sand Grease Pupa and Rich Red Brocade materials for Alhaitham ( if you do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Unlike Talent materials , you only need to spend the below Ascension materials once to fully raise Alhaitham to his highest character level . There is also Acquaint Fate rewarded for reaching certain Ascension levels . You can spend this Fate on the standard and beginner Banners to Wish for characters and weapons . Here 's what Alhaitham Ascension materials you need to upgrade him for each Ascension level : By getting duplicates of Alhaitham from wishing on Banners , you will receive his Stella Fortuna . This material allows you to unlock Constellation levels , with each upgrade either improving an existing Talent or Passive ability . Here are all of Alhaitham 's Constellation level upgrades in Genshin Impact : Intuition ( C1 ) : Alhaitham 's Elemental Skill 's cooldown period is reduced by one second when a Projection Attack hits and enemy . This can be triggered once every second . Debate ( C2 ) : Alhaitham 's Elemental Mastery is increased by 50 for eight seconds when he generates a Chisel-Light Mirror , with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's own independent duration , and this effect can be triggered even when the maximum number of mirrors has been reached . Negation ( C3 ) : Increases the level of Alhaitham 's Elemental Skill by three , with a maximum upgrade level of 15 . Elucidation ( C4 ) : When is Elemental Burst is used , the whole party gains buffs depending on how many Chisel-Light Mirrors are consumed and created upon activation of his burst . Each mirror consumed increases the Elemental Mastery of the party by 30 for 15 seconds , with each mirror generated granting Alhaitham a 10% Dendro damage bonus for 15 seconds . The duration of these buffs are reset if Alhaitham 's Elemental Burst is used again before they are done . Sagacity ( C5 ) : Increases the level of Alhaitham 's Elemental Burst by three , with a maximum upgrade level of 15 . Structuration ( C6 ) : Two seconds after his Elemental Burst is used , Alhaitham will generate three Chisel-Light Mirrors , regardless of the number of mirrors consumed . Additionally , if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Alhaitham 's crit rate is increased by 10% and his crit damage is increased by 70% , both effects lasting five seconds . If this buff is triggered again before its effects run out , its duration is increased by an additional five seconds . Alhaitham is a fantastic Dendro DPS on-fielder , with only a slightly annoying playstyle . With Alhaitham , you 'll want to have three of his Chisel-Light Mirrors active as often as possible , as each one provides a damage boost . This requires you to learn specific attack patterns , or memorise what gives you mirrors if you want the biggest DPS potential from Alhaitham . After Ascending him and unlocking his first passive , you should aim to start your attack cycle by activating Alhaitham 's Elemental Burst , which will give you three Chisel-Light Mirrors as long as you do n't have any on the field at the moment of activation . Two seconds later , use a charged attack or his Elemental Skill , and four seconds after that you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this ideal Alhaitham attack pattern would be : Activate Elemental Burst Normal attack for two seconds Use Elemental Skill Normal attack for four seconds Use charged attack Your aim is to use a skill that will generate another mirror as soon as you lose one , so Alhaitham has three on-field as long as possible to maximise his normal attack damage . It 's also very important to remember that Alhaitham is an on-field DPS main who will lose his mirrors if swapped for another character . Ideally , only swap to another party member when Alhaitham has no mirrors present . Being Dendro , Alhaitham has a pretty flexible team comp , but we do suggest bringing another Dendro character for a synergy bonus , and to act as a battery . A battery is a role for a character who is brought to provide particles for another , usually a DPS . If you have her , the best choice for a fellow Dendro party member is Nahida , as she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . If you do n't have her , the Dendro Traveler is also a good pick . New 4-Star Yaoyao is helpful if you need a Dendro healer , but Kokomi is also a good healer if you need a Hydro team memebr . For Bloom teams , Xingqiu and Yelan are two of the best picks as Hydro teammates . They work well on their own , but even better together . Hyperbloom with Nahida is one of Alhaitham 's best team comps . Quicken teams are also very effective with Alhaitham . There are so many good Electro supports to pick from here , but Fischl , Yae Miko , or Raiden Shogun are some of the best , depending on your needs . Running two Electro characters will also help with your Electro Energy needs . If you 're using Hydro and Electro characters to run a Hyperbloom team then we also recommend bringing a healer . Kokomi , Kuki Shinobu , and Yaoyao are currently the best picks . Somebody on an Alhaitham team @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Alhaitham is Dendro , somebody in your party should aim to equip the 4-piece Deepwood Memories set , as it shreds Dendro resistance on enemies , and boosts Dendro damage with the 2-piece . Ideally , this will be another Dendro character , but equipping it on Alhaitham can work if he 's your only Dendro party member . If Deepwood Memories is on another character , then we think that the 4-piece Gilded Dreams is Alhaitham 's best Artifact set . It will increase his Elemental Mastery by 80 , and boost his attack when triggering an Elemental Reaction , which you 'll want to be doing as much as possible . Alternatively , if you have Energy Recharge needs , then the 2-piece Emblem of Severed Fate will help . We recommend doubling up with 2-piece Deepwood Memories or Gilded Dreams if you do equip the Emblem set . For all Artifacts , you should prioritise Elemental Mastery , attack percentage , and crit rate and damage stats . Energy Recharge is recommended over Elemental Mastery if you have energy needs not being fixed elsewhere @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Genshin Impact As with most signatures , the 5-Star Light of Foliar Incision sword is Alhaitham 's best weapon in Genshin Impact . Signature weapons are basically custom built for characters , as is the case with this one . The Light of Foliar Incision sword has 542 base attack and 88.2% crit damage at Level 90 with Refinement Rank 1 . The sword 's buff means Alhaitham 's crit rate is increased by 4% . Additionally , when normal attacks deal Elemental Damage , normal attacks and Elemental Skills then increase their damage dealt by 120% of his Elemental Mastery . You can obtain this buff once every 12 seconds . If you do n't want to spend your Fate on Wishing on more character and weapon Banners , however , then you can repurpose other 5-Star swords instead , most notably the Mistsplitter Reforged for its Elemental Damage buffs , or the Primordial Jade Cutter for its increase in HP and attack bonus scaled off of HP . As for 4-Star weapon options , the Toukabou Shigure and Xiphos ' Moonlight seem to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Recharge , respectively . Favonius Sword is also a great pick , as you 'll be rewarded with Energy Particles for critical hits with Alhaitham , which he should be landing pretty regularly if you build him that way .

A non-profit organisation is helping families in Greater Manchester stay afloat in the cost of living crisis - by offering them a weekly shop for less than a tenner . For ? 8.50 , members of the Bread and Butter Thing pick up three bags of groceries , with fruit and veg , cupboard staples and fridgeables . The ' mobile food club ' picks up ' surplus food ' from supermarkets to bring discounted groceries to areas heavily affected by food poverty . One of those areas is Holts Village , a social housing complex in Alexandra , Oldham . In the middle of a sprawling residential area , an unassuming shop-front becomes the base of operation for the charity every Friday morning . Volunteers pack several crates of food that supermarkets ca n't sell - from oddly shaped veg to foods that are ' out of season ' or past their sell-by ( but not their use-by dates ) - into more than 120 shopping bags with military-style precision . Volunteers pack over 120 shopping bags in under an hour at the Holts Village food hub . " It saved my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also uses the service , told the M.E.N . " And it saved my wallet . " Just over a year ago , severe depression had left the trained chef from Poland unable to leave her home . She had to leave her job and was in a ' dark place ' . She volunteered with the charity to give herself something to take her mind off things and soon started using the service herself . She said : " It helped me financially because I was out of work . I relied on the bags . And it also gave me a purpose , a place to belong . It was really uplifting . " Aga , a trained chef , volunteers part-time with the charity - and uses the service herself .

She said : " My partner does n't work because he 's disabled , so it 's all on me - and I 'm on minimum wage . " It means I can still pay my gas , my electric , things like that a lot easier . So this really takes the pressure off . " If I went home with this from a supermarket @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 40 quid . And if you go to the chippy over the road and get two meals , that would cost you more than this does . " Members receive three bags ; one with fruit and veg , one with refrigerated goods and one with cupboard staples like bread , rice and pasta . Everything contained in last week 's grocery bags - but the contents change each week . " This lasts me a week - or more . Sometimes I have an overabundance of things and have to skip a week while I work through it all . " Emma added that it felt different to using a food bank . She said : " This is for low earners and I 'm a low earner . If I was using a food bank , I feel like I 'd be taking it from someone who needs it more than me . I can afford to pay for food - just not as much as this . " Another member , Ngozi , was on her second ever visit to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tow , she collected the bulging plastic bags from the unassuming site entrance with a slight smile on her face . Shopping bags full of fruit and veg . " I tried it for the first time last week and I was really quite happy , " " With the tomato I got last week , I was able to make two meals - with pasta and with rice . As soon as I saw those two dishes , I thought : that 's already worth more than ? 8.50 . " Her husband works full-time but with three growing kids , Ngozi says money can be tight . " When you go shopping , you pick up just two things and the money is gone . With what my husband earns and the benefits , we try really hard not to go into debt . " Sandra , a Holts Village resident , says she uses both the Bread and Butter Thing and food banks to get by ever since she 's had to stop working due to ill health . Sandra @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shopping . " I 've been living day to day , really , " she said . She 'd been left ' living off pasta and rice ' for a week after a friend who was supposed to pick up her groceries from the food hub last week had n't made it , she said . For Sandra , the benefit is as much about the accessibility as the cost . " The shop near me is expensive . And the nearest Aldi would take me three buses to get to and then I 'd have to find a way to get all my shopping home . And I ca n't carry a big shop because I 'm disabled . " She noted that the service could be hit-or-miss . " Sometimes things go off very quickly . So food banks can be better because it 's mostly in cans , which last a long time . " But it 's great to have this option . Especially when you used to be a cook and can make something out of nothing . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bags because the produce depends on what is in ' oversupply ' at supermarkets that week , a volunteer explained . Dad-of-three Jason pulled up in a van just minutes before the hub was due to close and loaded a mammoth order of four doubles - 24 bags - into his boot . He 's been using the service since 2020 , when he started picking up groceries for his mum . Jason and his van , which he uses to collect a mammoth shopping order . Now he picks up for his children and his ex-wife 's family - and much of their local community , as food not used by one family is passed on to the next , he said . " It 's cheaper shopping . And otherwise it would all go to waste , would n't it ? " he said . " For the price of it , you get reasonably good stuff , stuff you would n't usually buy . Asda 's just down the road from me but sometimes it 's too much to just go for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't afford the branded stuff . And you do n't get cheap stuff in this , it 's the quality stuff , so the kids get a better quality of food . " He also said he loved the sense of community . The volunteers at the Bread and Butter Thing " They 're all fantastic in there . Even when you 're stood in the queue , if the weather 's nice and they 're all stood out here - you 're all chatting . " The Bread and Butter project has 39 hubs across the region - and a total of more than 24,500 members . But with demand on the rise , they 're increasingly in need of volunteers and food suppliers . Alex Butcher , the organisation 's press manager , said : " We 're always on the hunt for volunteers and for members - anyone in a tight spot should come to us . " We want to work with more food suppliers to get more food . We help them with their surplus food but we 're @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ around affordability and accessibility of nourishing food . It 's two birds with one stone . " She noted the group was also calling on the government to bring more transparency into food supplies . Butcher said it would mean ' more surplus food ' which is usually lost along supply lines could instead ' go to feed more people who need it ' .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'opt out of having your details included' involves 'opt out of' followed by a VP[-ing], but there is no NP object between the verb and 'out of'. Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate structure. Instead, 'opt out of' is a phrasal verb followed by a gerund phrase, and there is no causer-causee relationship or movement/prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'make something out of nothing' does not involve a causee participating in an event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

It involves an intransitive verb 'come' with no NP object and the phrase 'out of Sterling's mouth' does not introduce a VP[-ing] predicate.

While many might still say HBO is the best American network for prestige television , FX has forcefully inserted itself into the conversation in the last few years . From the rabid animal that is The Bear to the densely historical Shogun , the channel commands respect just by placing its name in front of a series ( which is a necessary branding tactic since many of those series , Clipped included , stream exclusively on Hulu and not cable ) . Knowing how incredible FX 's track record in the 2020s is , it came as a pleasant surprise when it was announced the network would be adapting a recollection of Los Angeles Clippers basketball owner Donald Sterling 's racist downfall at the end of the 2014 NBA season . Using extensive research and journalistic fortitude from ESPN reporter Ramona Shelburne , Clipped takes the already wild story of Sterling 's banishment from professional basketball and sensationalizes certain aspects of the saga for a wider audience . Both basketball fans who can quote the events verbatim and non-sports folks who want a juicy tabloid drama will be intrigued by the miniseries ' style and substance . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's give a rundown of the messy divorce between owner and franchise in a nutshell . The Los Angeles Clippers were one of the worst teams in the NBA for Donald Sterling 's entire three-plus decades at the helm of the organization . With a crass arrogance and nonchalance added to his closed-tight checkbook , Sterling ran L.A 's other basketball team like a petulant toddler . He also appeared to regard his majority-Black players like property and took advantage of his wife like a pet . Ad Ad -- content continues below All of these atrocious qualities set Sterling up for a climactic downfall , which is set in motion by a mysterious mistress dubbed V. Stiviano ( she was born Maria Vanessa Perez ) . These two characters form the entertaining backbone of Clipped , and this is where the action begins in episode one . Played to perfection by Ed O'Neill , Sterling is perverted , vile , and ironically hilarious . Basketball fans already know that predicting what would come out of Sterling 's mouth was a lottery of phrases , but the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be portrayed by an actor who was familiar with uncouth dialogue delivery . Leveraging his days on Married ... with Children , O'Neill never misses a beat playing Sterling . From a cringe-worthy scene asking superstar point guard Chris Paul ( Alphonse Nicholson ) to sing " Happy Birthday " to the way he cradles power forward Blake Griffin 's ( Austin Scott ) face in his hands , O'Neill eerily recreates every last mannerism and creepy quirk that Sterling possessed in real life . His Emmy-worthy performance proves that some of Hollywood 's best talent remains our cherished childhood sitcom actors . Sterling 's girlfriend , V. Stiviano ( Cleopatra Coleman ) , gets plenty to do as well .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It involves an intransitive verb 'come' with no NP object and the phrase 'out of Sterling's mouth' does not introduce a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

While many might still say HBO is the best American network for prestige television , FX has forcefully inserted itself into the conversation in the last few years . From the rabid animal that is The Bear to the densely historical Shogun , the channel commands respect just by placing its name in front of a series ( which is a necessary branding tactic since many of those series , Clipped included , stream exclusively on Hulu and not cable ) . Knowing how incredible FX 's track record in the 2020s is , it came as a pleasant surprise when it was announced the network would be adapting a recollection of Los Angeles Clippers basketball owner Donald Sterling 's racist downfall at the end of the 2014 NBA season . Using extensive research and journalistic fortitude from ESPN reporter Ramona Shelburne , Clipped takes the already wild story of Sterling 's banishment from professional basketball and sensationalizes certain aspects of the saga for a wider audience . Both basketball fans who can quote the events verbatim and non-sports folks who want a juicy tabloid drama will be intrigued by the miniseries ' style and substance . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's give a rundown of the messy divorce between owner and franchise in a nutshell . The Los Angeles Clippers were one of the worst teams in the NBA for Donald Sterling 's entire three-plus decades at the helm of the organization . With a crass arrogance and nonchalance added to his closed-tight checkbook , Sterling ran L.A 's other basketball team like a petulant toddler . He also appeared to regard his majority-Black players like property and took advantage of his wife like a pet . Ad Ad -- content continues below All of these atrocious qualities set Sterling up for a climactic downfall , which is set in motion by a mysterious mistress dubbed V. Stiviano ( she was born Maria Vanessa Perez ) . These two characters form the entertaining backbone of Clipped , and this is where the action begins in episode one . Played to perfection by Ed O'Neill , Sterling is perverted , vile , and ironically hilarious . Basketball fans already know that predicting what would come out of Sterling 's mouth was a lottery of phrases , but the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be portrayed by an actor who was familiar with uncouth dialogue delivery . Leveraging his days on Married ... with Children , O'Neill never misses a beat playing Sterling . From a cringe-worthy scene asking superstar point guard Chris Paul ( Alphonse Nicholson ) to sing " Happy Birthday " to the way he cradles power forward Blake Griffin 's ( Austin Scott ) face in his hands , O'Neill eerily recreates every last mannerism and creepy quirk that Sterling possessed in real life . His Emmy-worthy performance proves that some of Hollywood 's best talent remains our cherished childhood sitcom actors . Sterling 's girlfriend , V. Stiviano ( Cleopatra Coleman ) , gets plenty to do as well . An ambiguous woman who recorded Sterling 's frequent rants and rambles just in case anything useful became tangible , Stiviano is the character most casual fans will become fascinated with .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('We should raise normal middle-class families out of paying inheritance tax completely'). It involves a prevention interpretation, where the action of raising families out of paying inheritance tax prevents them from having to worry about it. The verb 'raise' can be classified under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically'. The NP subject 'We' is an animate agent, and the NP object 'normal middle-class families' functions as a causee. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The inheritance tax threshold should be raised to ? 5 million to free 25,000 middle class families from death duties each year , senior Tories have said . Rising property prices have sucked thousands of middle class families -- many of whom are of modest means in cash terms -- into paying inheritance tax . Now three former Tory chairmen are among those urging Rishi Sunak to reform the " unfair " and unpopular tax to win back vital support . The number of estates subject to inheritance tax every year has risen by more than 11,000 since 2010 , and surged by a fifth in 2020-21 . It has been predicted that , by 2032 , one in eight people will be liable for the tax , which was introduced to target the richest households . Sir David Davis , who served as Tory chairman and Brexit secretary , said the threshold should be raised from the current ? 1 million to ? 5 million . " Inheritance tax was never intended for the middle classes , but now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said . " The very rich have 101 ways of avoiding it , but middle-class people are now automatically facing inheritance tax on the family house .

" Taxes should be about encouraging and rewarding people who do the right thing , and being able to hand your house over to your children is doing the right thing . " Conservative MPs are urging Mr Sunak to make a bold offer to voters by pledging to increase the value at which the levy kicks in . They said the move would draw a dividing line with Labour and help their party hold on to key seats in the Blue Wall . Raising the threshold at which inheritance tax kicks in to ? 5 million would exempt 98 per cent of estates that are currently liable for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ most recent year available -- show that 27,000 estates paid death duties , of which just 550 were worth more than ? 5 million . Yet those 550 estates paid one fifth of the entire takings from that year , stumping up ? 1.25 billion of the ? 5.76 billion the levy raised . Sir Brandon Lewis , another former Tory chairman who served as justice secretary , said inheritance tax " has always been felt to be an unfair tax " , adding : " It is a death tax on money and assets that someone has already paid tax on once , so is inherently unfair and anti-aspirational . " There is a case to ensure the most wealthy pay their fair share to society and support the wider community , but this tax too often is perceived to be hitting those well below that threshold . Reform would signal our support for those who want to invest for their family 's future . " Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg , a former business secretary , said : " Death duties ought to be abolished . It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of capital as well as being unfair . " Nadhim Zahawi , also a former Conservative chairman , urged Mr Sunak to put " clear blue water " between himself and Sir Keir Starmer on inheritance tax . It came after George Osborne , the former chancellor , predicted the Tories would make " one big throw of the tax dice " by pledging to abolish the levy . YouGov found that , as of March , only 23 per cent of voters think inheritance tax is a fair tax , compared with 51 per cent who think it is unfair . Last September , the same firm found that two-thirds of people supported increasing the tax threshold and 55 per cent backed abolishing it .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'opted out of receiving' which is a different construction where 'opted' is an intransitive verb and 'receiving' is part of a gerund phrase modifying 'out of'. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It lacks a clear causer and causee relationship, and the phrase 'pulled out of thrashing canals' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a physical action without the semantic properties required by the construction.

The phrase " sewer tour " , to these delicate sensibilities , should only ever refer to the Reform UK battle bus . Beneath the streets of Paris however , where an ornate catacomb system mirrors the boulevards above , such pungent tours have been operating for years ; the miracle is that it 's taken so long for the " this , but whack a giant shark in it " crew to get their gaping razor jaws into them . Enter -- at speed and from , um , murkier depths than usual -- Netflix 's Under Paris , here to put several different kinds of fin into French cinema . Awkwardly dubbed into English , it follows the limb-smattered trail of Beacon 7 , a giant shark which has evolved to both survive in polluted freshwaters ( because , presumably , sporks ) and self-reproduce from a young age without a mate . Having made soggy steak tartare of the team that raised it -- led by shark-widowed marine scientist Sophia ( B ? r ? nice Bejo ) -- the beast makes for the Seine and the catacombs beyond , there to spawn an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Triathlon event to fill the river with delicious swimmers . After all , as we discover yet again , it is deranged mayoral policy the world over to prioritise watersports over shark warnings . With chomp fodder provided by disposable ( largely non-white , it 's worth pointing out ) police diving teams and a band of shark-huggers called the Save Our Seas Collective -- whose idealistic romance story between activists Mika ( Lia Leviant ) and Ben ( Nagisa Morimoto ) comes to a chewy end -- the environmentalist message is jettisoned early on in favour of concocting ever more extreme ( literal ) bloodbaths . One feeding frenzy in a catacomb chamber is particularly wild and claustrophobic , while the final Triathlon attack becomes rather beautifully apocalyptic . Advertisement Since no funding has come from any British water suppliers , the film thankfully avoids any shitsharks barrelling out of turd festooned depths . What emerges instead is a slightly more scientific , waterway-based Sharknado with no slack to a pace that glides along like a Megalodon through water , the bare minimum of emotional character @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pulled out of thrashing canals , forgetting their legs .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee and does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a general action of logging out and its consequences, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

A significant cyber threat has prompted an urgent warning to all iPhone and Android users . Users are being advised to power down their devices weekly in order to thwart cyber criminals . This strategy aims to combat so-called " zero-click " hacks which install spyware onto smartphones without any action from the device owner . This measure is championed by the National Security Agency ( NSA ) , as it temporarily clears data stores that operate in the background or via internet browsers . Alerts have also been issued regarding the use of public WiFi networks , alongside reminders to update phone software and apps on a regular basis . Should mobile phones not be routinely powered off and on , hackers have the opportunity to affect open web addresses , deploying malicious files onto the user 's device in the process .

Astonishingly , according to a study by Pew Research in 2015 , nearly 50% of mobile phone owners seldom or never switch off their devices , while a staggering 82% confessed to rarely or never rebooting their phones , reports the Mirror . The NSA has advised users to regularly update their software and apps to ensure their devices are secure . By updating old software , potential loopholes where data can be accessed are removed . It also recommends disabling Bluetooth when not in use to prevent unauthorised access . However , these measures are not 100 per cent effective but should provide some protection from malicious activity .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('they take the hassle out of running your own syndicate'). It implies a prevention interpretation where the subject ('they') prevents the object ('the hassle') from being involved in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate ('running your own syndicate'). The verb 'take' can be considered as using nonspecific means to achieve the goal, fitting one of the verb categories. The NP object 'the hassle' is not a causee, but the construction still fits the transitive out of -ing pattern with a prevention interpretation.

Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said a hike in ticket prices at the Etihad would allow for more investment in the team on the pitch . Al Mubarak addressed criticism from supporters at a rise of five per cent in season ticket prices for next season and explained why the decision had been made in his end-of-season interview with club media . Supporters groups have protested against the decision and said some matchgoing fans were being priced out of attending games at the Etihad . Al Mubarak said discussions were still taking place with fans in an attempt to find a solution . But Al Mubarak also stressed the need to raise prices to continue boosting revenues that can be reinvested into the team , which continues to achieve unprecedented on-field success . " This is a very delicate issue for sure . I appreciate the feelings of our fans when it comes to a very important aspect , which is the price of a ticket , " said Al Mubarak .

So we have to again carefully tread . " We 're talking very closely to our fan base to make sure that we 're able to strike that balance in an appropriate way . It 's a balance . I recognise some of our fans obviously are not satisfied on the pricing side of it . We have to find solutions for them . That is our job .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'take the stress and effort out of shopping' involves an NP ('the stress and effort') as a complement of the complex preposition 'out of', and 'shopping' is a gerund functioning as a noun, not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no clear movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, and the NP object ('the stress and effort') does not function as a causee.

William has a close friendship with Hugh and he and wife Kate picked him to be one of the godparents for their eldest son , Prince George . However , William made a solo appearance at the nuptials today as Kate is still recovering following her cancer diagnosis earlier this year and her subsequent preventative chemotherapy treatment . George also did n't make an appearance at the wedding of his godfather - and this is likely due to being down to the fact the wedding is taking place on a weekday during term time and the young prince will be at school .

We have a lot of love for the FPS here at PC Gamer , not only because the PC is the best platform to play them on , but because it 's where they were born . Wolfenstein 3D and Doom established a framework for first-person combat that dominated the early ' 90s and exploded into the next millennium as one of the most vibrant , constantly evolving genres in gaming . There 's a seemingly endless appetite for creative head-clicking in the competitive , cooperative , and even meditative arenas . It 's a genre known for its violence , yet that 's not always the reason we 're drawn to the FPS . We celebrate the immersive potential of the first-person camera , and how that point-of-view challenges our physical and emotional responses to problems thrown directly in our faces . They are often intense tests of reflex , but also foundations for engrossing worlds and realistic simulations of survival , battle , and play . We feel a closer , truer connection to the world around us because we are literally seeing it through our character 's eyes . Below you 'll find @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ right now . It 's not a list of the most historically significant FPS games , but rather ones that we 'd recommend today , right now , to PC gamers exploring the genre . This is also a living list , so expect updates in the future . Not much movement in the world of first-person shooting in the first half of 2024 , but you 'll notice a new addition to the competitive section : The Finals . Staff writer Morgan Park did n't love its modes at launch , but the last two seasons have added two 5v5 modes that really click . id got to sit down and reimagine what Doom is in the modern age , and it came up with a buttery smooth , highly acrobatic FPS that celebrates gratuitous indulgence while demanding discipline through HP-recovering glory kills . Eternal brings more verticality , greater enemy variety , and an enthralling campaign that never seems to end ( boosted by two great DLC campaigns ) . It 's never @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a cover-shooter . This is what the Doom clone would 've become if modern military shooters had n't taken over the world . Let the latest run of Doom games be a strong kick to the pants gaming execs : the singleplayer FPS is stronger than ever , and there should be more of them . The most exciting shooter of recent history , ironically , does n't really have guns . In Neon White , an FPS speedrunning platformer , guns are represented by cards with secondary movement abilities like a leap , dash , or slam . Beneath its visual novel interludes and anime art , Neon White is a pure distillation of athletic FPS action . Levels often last less than a minute , but you can easily spend an hour perfecting a route until satisfied with your spot on the leaderboard . Perhaps Neon White 's most genius design choice is built-in shortcut markers hinting at faster routes that require clever application of your kit . 2023 was a great year for remakes , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recreation of one of the most influential videogames of all time . The System Shock remake somehow succeeds at the nigh impossible task of modernizing System Shock while also maintaining its ' 90s charm and quirks . Its reimagined guns look , sound , and animate beautifully , and they 're all useful too -- even the mini-pistol , the relative peashooter of the bunch , feels like a substantial piece of hardware once it 's got a couple of mods attached . Purists will insist that System Shock is an immersive sim ( I am , and it is ) but it also plays beautifully as a straight-up shooter . Want to heft an assault rifle or a railgun or a magnum pistol that kicks like a mule and just blast the holy hell out of everything you see ? Go for it -- you might get lost now and then in Citadel Station 's twisting corridors , but I can guarantee you 're going to have a good time . Years later , Titanfall 2 's campaign still stands out for its inventive levels @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Call of Duty 's most memorable campaigns had their hands in it -- you 're never far from an eye-pleasing set piece , but unlike Call of Duty , Titanfall 2 has more to offer than horizontal firefights behind chest-high cover . The flow of firefights depends entirely on the shape of the room and your ability to wallrun , double jump , or slide across it while shooting . And then , every once in a while , Titanfall becomes a pretty good mech game , too . It 's the kind of delicious junk food game ( uncomplicated , but beautiful ) that 's easy to forget about and pick up every few years to remember why it 's so good . 4A Games ' Metro trilogy came to a gratifying end with its most ambitious game to date . Metro Exodus packs a lot of game into deceptively small open worlds , focusing its efforts on making every minor interaction meaningful . Guns are ultra lethal and ammo is scarce , meaning you 'll almost never be shooting your precious AK-47 full-auto . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ capable of turning an SMG into a shotgun . Though the same gun will also jam if you do n't take care of it . If you love diegetic design , Exodus is a feast . Every little gizmo and widget on Artyom 's bracer has a purpose ( the small piece of real estate holds a stealth indicator , a compass , a radiation meter , and a watch ) and the map is a real-world object that Artyom holds . Throwback shooters are great and all , but if you want a reminder of where all great FPSes ultimately came from , the original Doom and Doom 2 are still excellent games in their own rights . Maybe what stands out most about OG Doom nowadays are its gigantic maze-like maps rich with secrets and , of course , the inability to move your camera on the Z axis . If you thought Doom Eternal was too tame in its gratuitous ambitions , Turbo Overkill should be your next stop . It may look like a conventional throwback @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wallrunning , sliding , weapon upgrades , and vertically massive levels . The guns and their alternate fire modes are the stars of this one : dual magnums that are also Smart Guns , a minigun that uncorks into a flamethrower , a System Shock-like shotgun that can overpump for extra damage are just a few favorites . Turbo Overkill released out of early access in 2023 with the completion of its campaign , solidifying it as one of the best singleplayer FPS offerings around . Black Mesa drags Half-Life into a shower and washes all that ' 90s stank off it . It 's a slick , often beautiful recreation of Half-Life with revamped sounds , animations , and an entirely new Xen section that turns the worst part of original Half-Life into maybe the best . Black Mesa 's largest changes center around Xen , but it also remixes some old areas and adds completely new puzzles in others . Being built on the base of Half-Life 2 , it also benefits from better physics interactions ( but do n't expect a gravity gun @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it 's not a perfect replacement for experiencing the original , but it is the best way to play a version of Half-Life in 2023 . This absurdist retelling of Dante 's Inferno stars a murderous robot fueled by human blood , or , as the game helpfully puts it , " Mankind is dead . Blood is fuel . Hell is full . " Ultrakill 's mega-grimdark existentialist nightmare is helpfully offset by a gleefully dark sense of humor , and its vision of hell is truly creative and unique . My favorite layer , Greed , consists of a vast desert of gold dust punctuated by Egyptian pyramids . More than any other shooter , Utlrakill is just fast . You 're constantly bouncing around , swapping weapons , countering resistances , and trying to keep a Devil May Cry-esque style ranking high . It manages that Neon White thing where even low-skill play feels thrilling and masterful , while high-skill play looks impossible . Acts one and two have landed in early access so far , and their ample secrets and built-in replayability with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ busy . Borderlands invented the looter-shooter , and Borderlands 2 had more fun with it than anyone else . While there are a gajillion guns -- shout-out to the self-healing Grog Nozzle , and the shotgun that shoots swords that explode -- that 's not what makes it great . The same more-is-more approach to weapon design is applied to its colorful , over-the-top sci-fi setting , full of unconventional enemies . Masked bandits deliver speeches from their sniper perches or wail nonsense while running right at you , goliaths subvert years of FPS training , counter-intuitively going into Hulk Mode when you headshot them , mutated pests swoop , leap , burrow , and shield their vulnerable spots . Still the best in the series , Borderlands 2 is polished , playful , and a gleefully silly antidote to military shooters that take themselves too seriously . We 're enjoying a resurgence of the co-op FPS and Deep Rock is a golden example . Ghost Ship Games got just about everything right -- you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is packing some of the best FPS combat out there . I 'll never get tired of hearing alien bug carapaces crunch under the weight of a shotgun blast . Four classes with wildly different capabilities and progression trees make its procedurally generated missions highly replayable . Because missions are just as much about mining as shooting , the best co-op moments are usually a combination of fending off bug baddies and placing a clutch zipline or platform to reach a precariously-positioned ore vein . Bungie made an FPS MMO that millions of players have actually stuck with . It 's a testament to the Halo creators ' knack for designing great-feeling guns that Destiny 2 players happily repeat the same missions over and over again to get the best stuff on offer . It can be hard for new players to catch up with veterans , but at the end of the road are raids -- expansive six-player missions that test aim , timing , and communication all at the same time . There 's truly nothing like Destiny 2 , and yet , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2023 's Lightfall expansion was a letdown , and the game 's declining popularity contributed to layoffs at Bungie . Reports suggest that The Final Shape expansion , which will conclude the decade-long story of Destiny , is delayed substantially into 2024 . It was an easy guess that Fatshark 's followup to Vermintide 2 would be a great co-op slaughterfest , but I did n't expect Darktide 's newly emphasized gun combat to be so excellent . The Kantrael MGXII Infantry Lasgun sizzles through infested elites like a precision cooker and autoguns topple hordes into tenderized ragdoll piles . It 's a gorgeous and challenging co-op experience ( far less zen than Deep Rock ) . It 's not as rich with mission variety as games that have been out longer , but a major 2023 update added new progression trees for every class and mission modifiers that help keep things interesting . Did you know every Halo game from Combat Evolved to Reach is bundled together in one big mega videogame complete with crossplay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thinking about it . There was a time when The Master Chief Collection was considered a disaster , but today , the entirety of it is playable on PC with minimal bugs . Even if you 're not ready to go toe-to-toe with sweaty Halo 3 players who 've been practicing half of their lives , MCC is still an amazing package for co-op . There are fewer gaming memories I cherish more than running through Halo 's campaigns with a friend . Our favorite of the burgeoning extraction shooter genre , Hunt : Showdown ditches battle royale circles in favor of a PvPvE format that pits hunters against zombies , bug assassins , aquatic tentacle monsters , and each other . Its 19th century American bayou setting is distinct , and compliments its unexpected arsenal of early firearms . It 's not only the best cowboy FPS we 've played , but one of the greatest multiplayer games around right now . DICE has put in the work on Battlefield 2042 . Two years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ better , and is finally packing enough great maps to mean that when you jump in you 'll always have fun . A lot is owed to DICE 's reintroduction of proper Battlefield classes , which added much-needed structure and role-specific responsibilities to 2042 's unique specialists . Six seasons of new specialists and maps have rounded out a package that felt a little light at launch . That , and its frequently discounted price , makes it an easy recommendation . As 343 Industries is hard at work on new Halo projects , Halo Infinite is in the middle of an upward climb . The game is on a streak of popular updates bolstered by better customization options , the addition of AI in Forge , and the co-op Firefight mode . Multiplayer is full of playlist options , map variety is finally acceptable , the challenge system is borderline good , and Infinite 's combat remains excellent . Player numbers are up too , suggesting it 's not just me playing a few matches of Big Team Battle as an after-work ritual . The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ buttery smooth Halo game with problems still rates pretty high . Counter-Strike is back , and it never left . Valve has papered over CS:GO with Counter-Strike rebuilt on the Source 2 engine . While the headline features of CS2 wo n't immediately blow your socks off -- volumetric smoke grenades , prettier lighting , " sub tick " servers -- it sounds like this is only the beginning for Valve . The studio recently told PC Gamer that , yes , it plans to add more weapons to CS2 . I did n't love The Finals when it first dropped . All of its launch modes were a bit too sweaty for me , and it felt like it was missing a landing pad for players to chill out , experiment with wildly varied loadouts , and goof around with the destruction tech without the pressure of a three-person squad . The 5v5 tug-of-war mode Power Shift , introduced in Season 2 , is that landing pad . Having a full team behind in what feels more like a casual , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ best qualities : excellent shooting , wild weapon choices , and an unmatched sense of speed in modern arena shooters . Overwatch 2 is slowly but surely starting to earn the " 2 " in its title . After a year of seasonal updates , the hero shooter has a healthy mix of heroes and modes to play and continues to add more every few months . Blizzard recently rebalanced the entire game , giving heroes more health and bigger bullets , and it 's now more approachable for new players than ever before . It 's easy to pick up a hero and start learning them in the game 's regular co-op PvE modes or Hero Mastery courses , too . The story missions , however , are nowhere close to what Blizzard originally promised and it 's been quiet about when we 'll ever get more . But PvP continues to be Overwatch 's strength as it continues to expand its roster with creative new heroes you ca n't find in any other game . The G.I.

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

" People are disappointed when they learn that hit men do n't really exist , " explains Gary Johnson . That might be a surprising statement given that it occurs early on in a movie called Hit Man . Throughout the film , Gary ( Glen Powell ) dons different disguises to meet with people who want to pay him money ( or video games or boats ) to kill people . But then again , it 's all a ruse , a police sting operation that mild-mannered teacher Gary does as a side gig . As Gary explains , his job is to become the type of hitman that potential criminals imagine exists , so that he can embody that look and lure them into a state of safety . As smart as Gary certainly is , he does n't create these identities out of nothing . Rather he 's riffing on hired killers from pop culture history , which gives Powell a chance to have fun playing different characters and gives director Richard Linklater the opportunity to riff on other genres . Gary gets thrown into the job when the usual decoy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so he does n't have a lot of time to prepare Billy , the " killer " who meets with Craig ( Mike Markoff ) . Thus Billy does n't have an elaborate costume or accent . Instead he just has attitude and professionalism . Billy is the standard issue , generic hit man , the type of guy that 's been a pop culture staple from Alain Delon steely-eyed loner in Le Samoura ? ( 1967 ) to John Wick . He 's professional , he 's to the point , and he has no concern for emotion . It might feel a bit obvious , but Billy did enough to fool Craig . Ad Ad -- content continues below We do n't see much of Gary 's interaction with Walt ( Bryant Carroll ) , the typical " Back the Blue " supporter who wants to break the law , nor do we get a name for that killer . However , as Gary scrolls through his well-populated Facebook page , we hear Walt 's message . Walt gives Gary the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : " Sounds like you got a particular set of skills or whatnot . " " A particular set of skills " comes from Liam Neeson 's CIA agent in Taken from 2008 . He delivers the line after scary foreigners kidnap his daughter ( not the greatest politics on this one ) , who pick up the cell phone that she dropped . Gary does n't adopt Neeson 's lingering brogue , nor does he even remove his glasses for the part . But the dark coat he dons while meeting Walt does at least suggest Neeson 's elder killer . Hoping to build some buzz for his upcoming album , the rapper Isaac ( Martin Bradford ) engages a hit man to kill his rival Rob49 . To meet Isaac 's expectations , Gary stains his teeth and cops a Boston accent . There 's no one clear source to Gary 's get-up for Isaac . Rather he 's the descendent of the edgy crime movies that flooded theaters and video stores after Pulp Fiction in 1994 . There 's a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there ( which is pre-Pulp Fiction , but still ) , a lot of central duo of The Boondocks Saints , and any other too cool for school baddie from 8 Heads in a Duffel Big , The Suicide Kings , and other Tarantino knock offs . When Gary arrives at a motel to meet Rita ( Kate Adair ) , he sports slicked-back hair , a well-tailored power suit , and a haughty attitude . This character takes great pleasure in mansplaining to Rita , going over minute details with a condescension that looks to her like professionalism . It 's surprising that Gary does n't toss a business card to Rita , since he 's 100 percent channeling Patrick Bateman , the maybe serial killer and absolute yuppie played by Christian Bale in American Psycho ( 2000 ) . Maybe Powell got tips for the character while working with Tom Cruise on Top Gun : Maverick , since Bale based his Bateman on Cruise . To match the sense of propriety that drives Joe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ex-wife , Gary becomes a soft-spoken Englishman , dressed in ' 70s yellow . The character seems like someone who would belong in a movie by Linklater 's fellow Texan , Wes Anderson , but he 's actually more based on Edward Fox 's polite killer in 1973 's The Day of the Jackal . Directed by Fred Zinnemann and written by Kenneth Ross , adapting the novel by Frederick Forsyth , The Day of the Jackal follows an attempted assassination of French president Charles de Gaulle . As the Jackal , Fox keeps calm and polite , his brutal profession belied by his impeccable manners . Gary 's disguise for Tammi ( Morgana Shaw ) , who can offer only a boat in exchange for the death of her husband , could be drawn from any number of Redbox thrillers and Geezer Teasers . Wading through the New Orleans heat while wrapped in black leather , the stub of a cigar poking through his stringy black hair , Gary adopts a Russian accent to growl out his responses . There 's a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wire 's second season , who boasts about cutting off heads and hands of his victims . However , the stoic Russian is more directly pulled from gritty action flicks such as John Wick , Red Sparrow , and Eastern Promises . Also Boris Badenov from The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle . As with Isaac , the society lady who wants to prevent her ex-husband from taking her nice house ( Jo-Ann Robinson ) does n't need Gary to take on a specific persona . Instead Gary becomes Bruno , dimwitted California pool boy who seems eager to do the society lady 's dirty work in every sense . The whole " rich lady with her pool cleaner " is a long-carried pop culture trope , something common to soap operas and romance novels . It 's a variation of the old femme fatale concept from hardboiled fiction and noir films such as Double Indemnity , in which a seductive woman leads a foolish man into crime . Furthermore , the trope has a ring of truth to it , as seen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jr. , which has become the subject of Lifetime movies . In short , Bruno the Pool Boy comes directly from the sort of media society ladies consume . Ad Ad -- content continues below Apropos of a kid who offers PlayStation 5 games as payment , Gary takes on the hardened look of a video game protagonist to meet with " future school shooter " Monte ( Jonas Lerway ) . Gary gives himself scars and neck tattoo to match his leather jacket and growling persona . Perhaps the best bit is the heart of gold Gary finds in his character . Sure , he might just be trying to save a young man from a lifetime of regret , but such morality is common in dark-edged heroes of entertainment for adolescents . Think the Punisher and Wolverine from Marvel Comics , half the protagonists of the Grand Theft Auto series , Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid , and , of course , any number of assassins from Assassins Creed . Join our mailing list Get the best of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Madison Finds a Movie Star And then there 's Ron , the guy Gary becomes with his love interest Madison ( Adria Arjona ) . At first , Gary bases Ron on the effortless cool that Brad Pitt brings to Jackie Cogan in 2012 's Killing Them Softly . But as soon as Madison flirts with him , the facade drops and Ron becomes ... well , standard issue Glen Powell . He 's cool and charming and playful , everything that makes Powell such an exciting screen presence . That 's a good thing too , because Ron and Madison 's romance takes up the middle of the film and the romance is palpable . Sure , Ron drops back into Jackie Cogan mode to intimidate Madison 's ex-husband Ray ( Evan Holtzman ) , but most the time , he 's just Glen Powell . And we love him for it . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('scaring the public out of coming into Aberdeen city centre'). The verb 'scaring' fits into the category of verbs that arouse fear (category c). The NP subject 'This' (referring to some action or policy) is a causer, and the NP object 'the public' is a causee who is being prevented from coming into the city centre, which aligns with the prevention interpretation. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Aberdeen 's city centre bus gates have hindered efforts to fill the empty Debenhams store while causing many traders to worry for their futures . As a decision on the road changes looms , they are taking a stand . The bus gate stops entry to Bridge Street in Aberdeen , while Wapping Street is the only route into the Trinity Centre car park . Image : Kenny Elrick/DC Thomson Doubt caused by the Aberdeen bus gates have stalled talks to fill the city 's long-vacant Debenhams , The P&J can reveal . The department store closed during the Covid pandemic , with the plug pulled during restrictions on retail in spring 2021 . But despite the best efforts to find new tenants by the Trinity Centre 's new owner Robert Keane , the " temporary " bus gates on Bridge Street , Guild Street and Market Street are scaring suitors off . Debenhams was a major draw for Aberdeen 's Trinity Centre before its closure during the Covid pandemic -- @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ filling the premises once more . Image : Kath Flannery/DC Thomson " We must take a stand , " he told The P&J . " We have had considerable interest from retailers in Debenhams . But all are slow to commit due to the access in the city centre . " The truth of the matter is all potential tenants are asking what the final outcome will be . " As we look at the response of Aberdeen city centre businesses to the bus gates , we reveal : It 's ' almost impossible ' to direct guests to an Aberdeen hotel Furniture shop boss claims council chiefs civil ' have already decided what is going to happen ' as she fears for her Union Street business From boom to bust : Schoolhill trader does n't know if her shop will see in the new year Big names beg council to get rid of the bus gates Around the Trinity Centre , Mr Keane 's Ardent Group has brought new life to a number of empty outlets -- including the ground @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tenants for the rest of the department store . Councillors will on Tuesday be asked to make the bus gates permanent , as well as other road changes such as the Union Terrace ban on right turns onto Rosemount Viaduct and the Schoolhill one-way system . It was all introduced using an experimental traffic order ( Etro ) , before the public was fully consulted . Robert Keane 's Ardent Group has made progress in turning around the Trinity Centre -- but the Aberdeen bus gates have caused talks to falter . Image : DC Thomson With councillors poised to make the trial run permanent , Mr Keane is urging a total rethink -- and has the backing of dozens of other city centre businesses . They are adding their voices to the hundreds of public objections the council has received to the Etro . In a letter sent to all city councillors , seen by The P&J , the businessman and his 40 backers claimed the bus gates were doing " serious damage " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ city centre businesses have been struggling for some time , and with the experimental implementation of the bus gates , this has further compounded the challenges our businesses face , " they added . A week ago , the Aberdeen Low Emission Zone ( LEZ ) came into force prompting concern it could be the " final nail in the coffin " for city centre traders . An Aberdeen and Grampian Chamber of Commerce poll of more than 200 people found 90% thought the Etro negatively impacted their usual activities in the city centre . Signs for the LEZ in Schoolhill in Aberdeen . Image : Kath Flannery/DC Thomson Mr Keane 's letter continues : " We would implore you to postpone the bus gates until the LEZ has been given a period of time for visitors and city centre residents to adjust to . " We ask you to consider the detrimental effect the bus gates are having on businesses in the city centre and if made permanent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ areas to fail . " We have major interests in sizeable city centre businesses and are very concerned for our future . " Customers , the group claims , say Aberdeen is a " no-go to be avoided as much as possible " . Ardent 's Trinity Centre is suffering especially as its large 400-space car park has been hit badly by all the change , with only one route into it now from the west , up South College Street onto Wapping Street . A bus gate camera guards Bridge Street , deterring traffic from Union Street and the north unless they can find their way onto Denburn Road . Mr Keane concluded : " We as a business always want to work with the council in developing and enhancing the city -- but in this case we feel we must take a stand against the direction of the bus gate implementation as without city centre businesses , there is no city centre . " Another of the Irishman 's businesses , the Douglas Hotel , has also been badly hit . " The bus gates on Market Street have made it so difficult to get to our hotel , " his fellow director in the business Mary Martin told the council consultation on the Etro . Mary Martin is the director and owner of the Douglas Hotel in Aberdeen -- and claims the bus gates have made it tough to direct guests to their doors . Image : Kenny Elrick/DC Thomson " Although there are alternative routes to get here , they are very long , complicated , restrictive and confusing . " I understand that GPS guidance now includes the bus gates , however it is still proving almost impossible to direct customers over the phone as to how to get here to drop off people or luggage . " I understand the need to reduce vehicle emissions and to improve air quality in the city centre , however people make a city . " The hotel 's continued " heavy investment " to turn around @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claimed -- with tradesmen " unwilling " to come to the city centre , even before the LEZ came in . Mr Keane and his 40 colleagues are not the only ones urging a rethink . Dozens of Aberdeen city centre traders and workers have also pressed for the bus gates and other roads measures to be scrapped . The McDonalds , who run the Union Street furniture shop Annie Mo 's , questioned the worth of the consultation in the first place . Staff were " shocked " at the " disastrous " lull during their busiest spell of the year -- some days in January having less than a dozen customers through the door . Photographed in happier times , Emily McDonald 's family business Annie Mo 's on Union Street is suffering because of the bus gates . Image : Scott Baxter/DC Thomson The bosses wrote : " I 'm not even sure why I am wasting my time writing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ run the council have already decided what is going to happen to this once beautiful city . " They are intent on killing the city centre completely . " So worrying is the decrease in footfall -- I can not see our business surviving in it 's current format , for another year . " I feel subjecting us to an ' experiment ' after getting through what is easily described as the most difficult time for retailers is just cruel . " They complained about the lengthy detour customers from the north of Aberdeen would have to take to reach the nearest carpark , the Shiprow NCP . Style for your Shape is a success story of the Curated Aberdeen pop-up scene , striking a deal on a full-time premises at 2 Schoolhill in 2022 . Style for your Shape owner Victoria Mutch worries about how much longer her business can stay on Schoolhill if bus gates and other Etro measures are n't undone or at least relaxed . Image : Wullie Marr/DC Thomson " Now I have serious concerns if we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if things do n't change soon , " owner Victoria Mutch laments . " All that work and investment from us and the Bon Accord Centre is dwindling with what has happened in the city centre with the bus gates and the communications surrounding it . " Ultimately my business has seen continuous reductions in turnover from August 2023 and in the months previous we were growing month-on-month . " There is no point improving bus journey times if there will not be businesses in Aberdeen city centre for passengers to come and visit . " I 'm unsure how long Style for your Shape and other business will be able to survive -- and once our lease is up in January , it 's highly likely I will need to exit the city centre as customers are n't travelling as frequently into town . " She 's due to speak to councillors on Tuesday , advocating for a number of changes to the current experimental rules at least . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one-way system in Schoolhill , Aberdeen , in January 2023 . Image : Chris Sumner/DC Thomson Those include removing loading time restrictions on Schoolhill and right turn ban out of Union Terrace , as well as an educational warning in lieu of a fine for first time bus gate offenders . " This would help to stop scaring the public out of coming into Aberdeen city centre , " she added . " The damage of the implementation has already been done and we ca n't roll that back , but we can help to improve it . " The discontent is rife among the business voices who responded . There was no support for the Etro staying in place -- unlike the glimmers of positivity scarcely laced through the public input . Dominique Dawson of Finnies the Jeweller had the ear of Aberdeen councillors this week . She and Aberdeen Inspired 's Adrian Watson made the case for Uber to be allowed into Aberdeen . Image : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ begged : " Please get rid of the bus gates , they are assisting in destroying our city centre . " Louise Witter , director of a legal consultancy on Rosebank Place , questioned the council 's use of the experimental road rules -- allowing implementation before public consultation . " I have concerns that Aberdeen City Council is using a legal framework which expends taxpayer funds on ' acting now , checking it is ok later ' , " she told . Manager Billy McAulay , second from left , claims customers are " unwilling " to come into Aberdeen city centre because of the bus gates . Image : Chris Sumner/DC Thomson Meanwhile branch manager at Slater Menswear in Aberdeen , Billy McAulay , said customers were every day telling staff how " detrimental " the road restrictions are . He added : " Our customers are reiterating their unwillingness to shop in town because of restrictions . " While I appreciate these are to increase reliance on public transport , it just does n't work for a city with so many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or reliable enough to convince people to use it . " Harbourside , Aberdeen Tile Distributors owner Eric Meston moaned at the idea his customers were expected to lug heavy tiles onto a bus , after a walk from his premises on Virginia Street . Even those who backed the pedestrianised Union Street ca n't stomach the deserted city centre . The council 's consultation anonymised all its correspondence but clues point to a damning indictment from CBRE Aberdeen chief , and McGinty 's pub group director , Derren McRae . Derren McRae ( second from right ) was part of the campaign to pedestrianise the central part of Aberdeen 's Union Street -- but the bus gates are worse than the prospect of cars returning , he says . Image : Kath Flannery/DC Thomson An CBRE headed email tells the council : " While I appreciate the desire to improve bus reliability , the reality is that Aberdeen is a very car-reliant city and sadly I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ experiment has led to them leaving their car at home and jumping on a bus into town . " Instead they have either just continued to drive in to town , or alternatively have just decided to do their shopping or go to lunch somewhere that is easier to get to or park . Making the case for maintaining the current Aberdeen city centre layout , operations chief Mark Reilly said : " What has been apparent in many communications is a level of perception where some consider the change to be akin to ' pulling the drawbridges up in the city centre ' . " The contrast though is with an appreciation of the limited extent of the restrictions , and the alternative routes available , there is not a significant detriment .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('stop scaring the public out of coming into Aberdeen city centre'). It involves a prevention interpretation, where the action of scaring is preventing the public from coming into the city centre. The verb 'scaring' fits into the category of means to achieve a goal by arousing fear. The NP subject is implied (the action or policy that would stop scaring), and the NP object 'the public' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'coming into Aberdeen city centre'. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Image : Kenny Elrick/DC Thomson Doubt caused by the Aberdeen bus gates have stalled talks to fill the city 's long-vacant Debenhams , The P&J can reveal . The department store closed during the Covid pandemic , with the plug pulled during restrictions on retail in spring 2021 . But despite the best efforts to find new tenants by the Trinity Centre 's new owner Robert Keane , the " temporary " bus gates on Bridge Street , Guild Street and Market Street are scaring suitors off . Debenhams was a major draw for Aberdeen 's Trinity Centre before its closure during the Covid pandemic -- @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ filling the premises once more . Image : Kath Flannery/DC Thomson " We must take a stand , " he told The P&J . " We have had considerable interest from retailers in Debenhams . But all are slow to commit due to the access in the city centre . " The truth of the matter is all potential tenants are asking what the final outcome will be . " As we look at the response of Aberdeen city centre businesses to the bus gates , we reveal : It 's ' almost impossible ' to direct guests to an Aberdeen hotel Furniture shop boss claims council chiefs civil ' have already decided what is going to happen ' as she fears for her Union Street business From boom to bust : Schoolhill trader does n't know if her shop will see in the new year Big names beg council to get rid of the bus gates Around the Trinity Centre , Mr Keane 's Ardent Group has brought new life to a number of empty outlets -- including the ground @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tenants for the rest of the department store . Councillors will on Tuesday be asked to make the bus gates permanent , as well as other road changes such as the Union Terrace ban on right turns onto Rosemount Viaduct and the Schoolhill one-way system . It was all introduced using an experimental traffic order ( Etro ) , before the public was fully consulted . Robert Keane 's Ardent Group has made progress in turning around the Trinity Centre -- but the Aberdeen bus gates have caused talks to falter . Image : DC Thomson With councillors poised to make the trial run permanent , Mr Keane is urging a total rethink -- and has the backing of dozens of other city centre businesses . They are adding their voices to the hundreds of public objections the council has received to the Etro . In a letter sent to all city councillors , seen by The P&J , the businessman and his 40 backers claimed the bus gates were doing " serious damage " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ city centre businesses have been struggling for some time , and with the experimental implementation of the bus gates , this has further compounded the challenges our businesses face , " they added . A week ago , the Aberdeen Low Emission Zone ( LEZ ) came into force prompting concern it could be the " final nail in the coffin " for city centre traders . An Aberdeen and Grampian Chamber of Commerce poll of more than 200 people found 90% thought the Etro negatively impacted their usual activities in the city centre . Signs for the LEZ in Schoolhill in Aberdeen . Image : Kath Flannery/DC Thomson Mr Keane 's letter continues : " We would implore you to postpone the bus gates until the LEZ has been given a period of time for visitors and city centre residents to adjust to . " We ask you to consider the detrimental effect the bus gates are having on businesses in the city centre and if made permanent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ areas to fail . " We have major interests in sizeable city centre businesses and are very concerned for our future . " Customers , the group claims , say Aberdeen is a " no-go to be avoided as much as possible " . Ardent 's Trinity Centre is suffering especially as its large 400-space car park has been hit badly by all the change , with only one route into it now from the west , up South College Street onto Wapping Street . A bus gate camera guards Bridge Street , deterring traffic from Union Street and the north unless they can find their way onto Denburn Road . Mr Keane concluded : " We as a business always want to work with the council in developing and enhancing the city -- but in this case we feel we must take a stand against the direction of the bus gate implementation as without city centre businesses , there is no city centre . " Another of the Irishman 's businesses , the Douglas Hotel , has also been badly hit . " The bus gates on Market Street have made it so difficult to get to our hotel , " his fellow director in the business Mary Martin told the council consultation on the Etro . Mary Martin is the director and owner of the Douglas Hotel in Aberdeen -- and claims the bus gates have made it tough to direct guests to their doors . Image : Kenny Elrick/DC Thomson " Although there are alternative routes to get here , they are very long , complicated , restrictive and confusing . " I understand that GPS guidance now includes the bus gates , however it is still proving almost impossible to direct customers over the phone as to how to get here to drop off people or luggage . " I understand the need to reduce vehicle emissions and to improve air quality in the city centre , however people make a city . " The hotel 's continued " heavy investment " to turn around @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claimed -- with tradesmen " unwilling " to come to the city centre , even before the LEZ came in . Mr Keane and his 40 colleagues are not the only ones urging a rethink . Dozens of Aberdeen city centre traders and workers have also pressed for the bus gates and other roads measures to be scrapped . The McDonalds , who run the Union Street furniture shop Annie Mo 's , questioned the worth of the consultation in the first place . Staff were " shocked " at the " disastrous " lull during their busiest spell of the year -- some days in January having less than a dozen customers through the door . Photographed in happier times , Emily McDonald 's family business Annie Mo 's on Union Street is suffering because of the bus gates . Image : Scott Baxter/DC Thomson The bosses wrote : " I 'm not even sure why I am wasting my time writing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ run the council have already decided what is going to happen to this once beautiful city . " They are intent on killing the city centre completely . " So worrying is the decrease in footfall -- I can not see our business surviving in it 's current format , for another year . " I feel subjecting us to an ' experiment ' after getting through what is easily described as the most difficult time for retailers is just cruel . " They complained about the lengthy detour customers from the north of Aberdeen would have to take to reach the nearest carpark , the Shiprow NCP . Style for your Shape is a success story of the Curated Aberdeen pop-up scene , striking a deal on a full-time premises at 2 Schoolhill in 2022 . Style for your Shape owner Victoria Mutch worries about how much longer her business can stay on Schoolhill if bus gates and other Etro measures are n't undone or at least relaxed . Image : Wullie Marr/DC Thomson " Now I have serious concerns if we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if things do n't change soon , " owner Victoria Mutch laments . " All that work and investment from us and the Bon Accord Centre is dwindling with what has happened in the city centre with the bus gates and the communications surrounding it . " Ultimately my business has seen continuous reductions in turnover from August 2023 and in the months previous we were growing month-on-month . " There is no point improving bus journey times if there will not be businesses in Aberdeen city centre for passengers to come and visit . " I 'm unsure how long Style for your Shape and other business will be able to survive -- and once our lease is up in January , it 's highly likely I will need to exit the city centre as customers are n't travelling as frequently into town . " She 's due to speak to councillors on Tuesday , advocating for a number of changes to the current experimental rules at least . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one-way system in Schoolhill , Aberdeen , in January 2023 . Image : Chris Sumner/DC Thomson Those include removing loading time restrictions on Schoolhill and right turn ban out of Union Terrace , as well as an educational warning in lieu of a fine for first time bus gate offenders . " This would help to stop scaring the public out of coming into Aberdeen city centre , " she added . " The damage of the implementation has already been done and we ca n't roll that back , but we can help to improve it . " The discontent is rife among the business voices who responded . There was no support for the Etro staying in place -- unlike the glimmers of positivity scarcely laced through the public input . Dominique Dawson of Finnies the Jeweller had the ear of Aberdeen councillors this week . She and Aberdeen Inspired 's Adrian Watson made the case for Uber to be allowed into Aberdeen . Image : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ begged : " Please get rid of the bus gates , they are assisting in destroying our city centre . " Louise Witter , director of a legal consultancy on Rosebank Place , questioned the council 's use of the experimental road rules -- allowing implementation before public consultation . " I have concerns that Aberdeen City Council is using a legal framework which expends taxpayer funds on ' acting now , checking it is ok later ' , " she told . Manager Billy McAulay , second from left , claims customers are " unwilling " to come into Aberdeen city centre because of the bus gates . Image : Chris Sumner/DC Thomson Meanwhile branch manager at Slater Menswear in Aberdeen , Billy McAulay , said customers were every day telling staff how " detrimental " the road restrictions are . He added : " Our customers are reiterating their unwillingness to shop in town because of restrictions . " While I appreciate these are to increase reliance on public transport , it just does n't work for a city with so many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or reliable enough to convince people to use it . " Harbourside , Aberdeen Tile Distributors owner Eric Meston moaned at the idea his customers were expected to lug heavy tiles onto a bus , after a walk from his premises on Virginia Street . Even those who backed the pedestrianised Union Street ca n't stomach the deserted city centre . The council 's consultation anonymised all its correspondence but clues point to a damning indictment from CBRE Aberdeen chief , and McGinty 's pub group director , Derren McRae . Derren McRae ( second from right ) was part of the campaign to pedestrianise the central part of Aberdeen 's Union Street -- but the bus gates are worse than the prospect of cars returning , he says . Image : Kath Flannery/DC Thomson An CBRE headed email tells the council : " While I appreciate the desire to improve bus reliability , the reality is that Aberdeen is a very car-reliant city and sadly I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ experiment has led to them leaving their car at home and jumping on a bus into town . " Instead they have either just continued to drive in to town , or alternatively have just decided to do their shopping or go to lunch somewhere that is easier to get to or park . Making the case for maintaining the current Aberdeen city centre layout , operations chief Mark Reilly said : " What has been apparent in many communications is a level of perception where some consider the change to be akin to ' pulling the drawbridges up in the city centre ' . " The contrast though is with an appreciation of the limited extent of the restrictions , and the alternative routes available , there is not a significant detriment .

We 're truly in the next generation of cool-ass fighting games , folks . It 's been just over a year since Street Fighter 6 's launch kicked things off , and the 12 months since then have been a real sweet time for fighting game fans . Despite that , I was surprisingly giddy to see just how packed the first 30 minutes of tonight 's Summer Game Fest presentation was with hot fighting game news . Street Fighter 6 came barrelling in with a fantastic anime cutscene of Luke and Jamie before we got a shock SNK season pass reveal with both Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui joining the Year 2 DLC roster . We were then smacked with capo fighter Elena , which is fitting considering Tekken 's Eddy has recently joined the fray , before M. Bison was given a spectacularly badass reveal . They just ca n't keep a dead man down , huh ? I was already more than happy with that , and then almost immediately it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the upcoming Dragon Ball Budokai Tenkaichi fighter along with a release date : October 11 .

But I am a fan of watching Dragon Ball fighting games -- I always get a kick out of catching a few games of FighterZ when I attend tournaments , and I know that Sparking Zero is about to bring a whole new level of hype to the franchise . ( Image credit : SNK ) Then finally , at the 35-minute mark , we were greeted with a trailer for Fatal Fury : City of the Wolves , the first new entry in the Fatal Fury series in 26 freakin ' years . That 's almost as old as me ! We got an awesome reveal of pirate B. Jenet , a woman I most definitely did not have a tiny crush on when I first witnessed her in King of Fighters Maximum Impact 2 ( okay , maybe a little bit . ) The trailer was snappy , colourful , and filled with enough hype to carry @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ remainder of the showcase . The funny thing is , these are all games that are already out , or that we already knew about . Yet I could n't help but feel a weird sense of pride at just how much these three reveals gave Summer Game Fest an uplifting start , at least for me . Fighting games have felt a little underrepresented in the last few years , especially from a competitive standpoint . We 're still worlds behind the likes of League of Legends and Dota for grand prizes in tournaments , and we rarely rake in the same player count as the latest shooter or survival game . It 's strange because fighting games are n't exactly a niche , not by a long shot . Almost everyone can recall button mashing their way through an old Street Fighter arcade cabinet or hopping on a game of Mortal Kombat with their pals .

It 's always nice seeing more of what you love , and it was even nicer to dive into the livestream comments and see just how much other people were vibing with the reveals , too . Ultimately , I feel like it all goes towards bringing fighting games back to the forefront . We 're eating damn good with these trailers , after all . Terry and Mai are excellent crossover picks for Street Fighter , and the Year 2 pass seems to be going down pretty damn well with fans over on Twitter . Although there 's still a lot of classic Street Fighter characters absent from the roster , it 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sure there are some Elena enjoyers out there too . Sparking Zero and Fatal Fury are looking incredible in their own right , too . With both serving as the return of long-absent series , I hope it encourages more fighting game developers to dig into their back catalogue and bring back some old favourites .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, 'pulling out of qualifying' involves an intransitive verb 'pulling' with no NP object, and 'qualifying for the French Open' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of'.

I 've talked to veterans and they feel quite angry . So , I think they need to do more . " He urged the Conservatives to give some of the cash donated to the party by Frank Hester , a businessman who was embroiled in a racism row , to charity . " I think the Conservative Party should give ? 5 million of that donation to a veterans charity . I think if they did that , then people might be able to draw the line . " But it 's such a letdown for our whole country and our history , particularly for our brave veterans .

Labour will promise to ban the importation of designer dogs and cats with fashion-based mutilations , as well as banning the sale of animals with cropped ears . The importation of heavily pregnant dogs and cats will be banned . One of Rishi Sunak 's own ministers has warned " it 's over " the PM 's election campaign lies in tatters after he shamefully skipped a D-Day event .

There have even been warnings Sunak would have been immediately ousted as party leader if it had not been the middle of the General Election campaign . One minister told The Mirror : " Do n't even ask . The wheels have come off . It 's over . " Transport Secretary Mark Harper said he agreed with Rishi Sunak that it was a mistake to leave D-Day events early . Asked whether he agreed with fellow Cabinet minister Penny Mordaunt 's assessment that it was " completely wrong " , Mr Harper told BBC Breakfast on Saturday : " I do n't know what the detail was of putting the Prime Minister 's schedule together , which , as he said , was done some time ago before the election campaign was called .

She basically agreed when Angela said ' you 've put taxes up to the highest level in 70 years . And she defended Liz Truss . So that 's quite a triple whammy from Penny in the debate tonight .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'gets' is transitive and selects an NP object 'a special kick', but it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of meeting the word count exactly' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

After six years of wandering West Virginia 's wasteland , Fallout 76 players will soon have the option to give in to the radiation and become a ghoul . It 's just like Walton Goggins said : ' I 'm you , sweetie . You just give it a little time . ' " Years of continuous nuclear bombardment has taken its toll on our brave adventurers , " says the MMO 's creative director , Jon Rush . The choice to leave behind your skin will unlock at level 50 , in the form of a new quest that will begin the " mysterious process " . It 'll arrive in an update planned for early 2025 .

Side effects tend to include infertility , severe dermatological problems , and an extended lifespan . This is the first time in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which means many of the mechanical implications for players are unexplored . " Should they choose to become a ghoul , they 're granted innate abilities such as unique benefits to radiation , dozens of ghoul-specific perk cards to use in addition to the base game perk cards , and a distinct appearance , " Rush says . " Which could land them in some trouble with some groups . " At a recent press event in London , Rush asked a rhetorical question : " What kind of in-game experiences would incentivize me to turn into a ghoul ? We handle the Scorchbeast Queen every time , and Expeditions have kind of become a vacation retreat . " He promises we 'll get answers to that question later this year . To my ears , it sounds as if more fearsome endgame opponents are also coming to Fallout 76 - something for new ghouls to get their yellowing teeth into . ( Image credit : Prime Video ) In an accompanying interview , I asked Rush what kind of new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pointed out that , with immunity to radiation as standard , ghouls wo n't have to lean on power armor and the accompanying perks that make stomping around in a metal can more efficient .

" It 's hard to overstate how significant a change this could be . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ players in Fallout 76 suited up in power armor . The bonuses to weight management and resistances to damage and radiation are simply too great to be turned down . But a ghoul in power armor is n't going to feel the benefit of a healthy green glow . ( Image credit : Amazon/Bethesda ) " There are ways that our ghouls will be able to harness that radiation and build it up , " Rush says . Suddenly , it 'll make sense to start reversing some well-learned Fallout behaviors . That bathroom sink you 'd never touch ? Time to turn on the tap and start guzzling dirty water . " It 's gon na be really interesting to see how people slot that into our current playstyles , " Rush says , " and how the current playstyles change or adapt . " If ghouls can harness radiation , does that mean they can unleash it in some form , or use it to empower their abilities ? " Perhaps , " Rush says . " A lot of that comes through in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ game experience for players , the ghoul-specific perk cards are geared towards later-game things that you want , as a ghoul . " Very alluring . And yet , if decades of Fallout games have taught us anything , it 's that there are downsides to being a ghoul . Faction interactions will be impacted by your changed appearance .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('this pocket-sized wonder takes all the bulk out of carrying around a portable charger'). It implies a movement/extraction interpretation where the subject causes the object to move out of the state described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. The verb 'takes' fits into the category of verbs that exert force or pressure metaphorically, and the NP object 'all the bulk' is semantically a causee in the event described by 'carrying around a portable charger'.

However it is an everyday minor horror ; after all , who has n't been caught short and found themselves living on a prayer of two per cent of battery ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a digital abyss is here in the form of supercharged power banks ; compact , sleek and with the superhero-like ability to get you back to full bars in next to no time . There are versions for every need ; from a quickie boost on the commute to the heavy-duty power needed to get you going through a whole weekend of above-average use . When it comes to tech , the phrase ' you get what you pay for ' rings true . Batteries tend to dwindle down after prolonged use ( a few years ) , so spend what you can afford on a quality pack that does at least two or three full charges .

Aside from that , look out for dual USB ports so you can charge multiple devices simultaneously - if you 're willing to share your precious power with a friend , that is . A word from Captain Obvious : a battery pack or power bank only works if you charge it , so make sure you 're fully loaded up by plugging into mains power before you head out of the door . Anker A pocket-sized hero , Anker 's mini portable charger holds enough power to fully charge high-power smartphones like an iPhone X or Samsung Galaxy S9 and nearly two full charges for an iPhone 8 from the 5000mAh rating .

Its massive capacity - 16,800mAh -- is enough for four full charges , so you can afford to upload , download and share with freeloading mates to your heart 's content . It also has pass-through charge , which means you can charge your phone through the Station and they 'll both power up at the same time .

As with other portable battery packs , Mophie 's Powerstation has a USB port . The pack also features high-output charging , which will get your phone up and running even when time is tight .

We 're also big fans of the fact that the smart digital display shows just how much charge your little saviour has left , if you 're the type to obsessively check . Grab it while you can . Anker Though on the pricier side , this pocket-sized wonder takes all the bulk out of carrying around a portable charger . Despite being less versatile due to the fact that it 's just got the one built-in lightning connector , if all you need to power up on the go is your iPhone - this device has you set . Veger Mini but mighty , this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wonder ; it 's tiny and slots compactly into the bottom of your device with no wires to get tangled in .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'take the political sting out of reforming social care', where 'reforming social care' is a gerund phrase acting as the object of the preposition 'out of', not a VP2[-ing] predicate with a causee. Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the sentence does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer will talk about almost anything but funding social care ( Image : Getty ) The UK 's social care system is an unholy mess . Funding is scarce , workers are paid too little , choosing a nursing home is a bewildering maze and the financial burden falls on families . Nursing and residential home care costs a small fortune and keeps getting more expensive , with fees rocketing 49 percent in a decade to an average of ? 56,056 a year , according to Laing & Buisson . That is a frankly staggering sum . It 's no surprise that around 40,000 family homes are sold every year to meet care fees , ravaging inheritances . Nobody knows whether their family will be next . The burden can only rise as the population ages , the state gets poorer , and dementia and Alzheimer 's cases multiply . No wonder politicians do n't want to go near it . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Minister Theresa May in the 2017 election . She suggested that people would have to pay for social from their own pockets until the value of their assets -- including their home -- reached a floor of ? 100,000 . May also promised that a family home would never need to be sold in a person 's lifetime , with costs recouped after death instead . The plans were shot own as a heartless " dementia tax " . Theresa May 's reputation was sunk . His flagship reform involved a new cap of ? 86,000 on the amount anyone in England would need to spend on personal care over their lifetime ( although they 'd have to meet other costs ) . The reforms were due to come into force in October 2023 . There were delayed until October 2025 , then abandoned altogether Today , nothing has changed . Long-term care residents must pay their own fees in full -- known as self -- funding -- until the value of their total assets ( including their home ) falls before ? 23,250 in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ must contribute from means-tested income . Worse , these limits have n't changed in years , and would be more than 50 per cent higher if they had kept pace with inflation . With the election less than four weeks away , only the Liberal Democrats have announced their social care policy but they wo n't win power so frankly who cares . We 're now waiting to see what the Tories and Labour will say in their manifestos , if anything . Politicians need to talk about social care and can not " keep kicking the can down the road " , said Helen Morrissey , head of retirement analysis , Hargreaves Lansdown . " Care costs are financially catastrophic for families and make it impossible for any of us to plan retirement spending with any real certainty . " New research from retirement specialist Just Group shows that almost two thirds of over-75s are delaying making desperately needed financial plans for social care until they know what the new system is going to be . Stephen Lowe , group communications director at Just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 25 years of incoherent social care policy " . " Continued debate , dither and delay has created confusion and uncertainty . " The system is complex and many have no idea what their local authority will pay , and what they must pay themselves . Lowe would like to take the political sting out of reforming social care , since no solution will please everybody . " For decades , we have been beating the drum to encourage long-term , cross-party development to support the creaking social care system . " So far , nobody has listened . Lisa Morgan , partner in the nursing care fee recovery team at Hugh James Solicitors , said failing to address the issues will affect everyone at some point , " whether you need it yourself or a loved one does " . Kate Smith , head of pensions at Aegon , said politicinas can not just leave social care in the " too difficult " box . " With 3.5million people over 65 now living alone , an increase of 420,000 in the last @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ care demand that 's coming our way . " Smith is not too optimistic , though . " Nobody will be surprised if despite all the noise around the General Election , there is a deafening silence on social care . " Politicians are running scared .

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('he's going to take millions of people out of paying tax altogether'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the action of 'taking millions of people out of paying tax' prevents them from 'paying tax altogether'. The verb 'take' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically'. The NP subject 'he' is an animate agent, and the NP object 'millions of people' functions as causees who are affected by the action described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'paying tax altogether'. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

During an interview with the BBC 's Nick Robinson , Sunak was asked if Farage was " playing with fire , by bringing your heritage into this argument " . Sunak replied : " Well , Nigel Farage can answer what he exactly he meant by those comments . I 'm not going to get involved in that , because I do n't think it 's good for our country or our politics . Now , obviously I disagree with him . " Robinson suggested that many Conservatives think Farage is more of a Conservative than him , to which he replied : " A vote for anyone who 's not a Conservative candidate is just making it more likely that Keir Starmer becomes prime minister . " Labour pledged to create over 3,000 new nurseries for 100,000 children in England . Douglas Ross announced he 's standing down as leader of the Scottish Conservative party . Reform UK candidate Ian Gribbin apologised for saying the country would be " far better " if it had " taken Hitler up on his offer of neutrality " instead of fighting the Nazis in World @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sponging gender " and should be " deprived of health care " . Nick Robinson has spoken out following his interview with Rishi Sunak , saying he could sense the " frustration " in the prime minister as he was grilled on immigration and tax cuts . He wrote for the BBC : " Sitting across a studio from Rishi Sunak , I could feel his frustration . He thinks he 's got a good story to tell if only people would listen . " He goes on to say : " Sunak is promising more tax cuts and no spending cuts despite warnings from independent experts that all parties are ignoring an ? 18 billion hole in the public finances . " He insists that the cuts to national insurance have ensured that " an ordinary average worker ... faces the lowest average tax rate that they have faced in over half a century " despite the fact that he added ? 93 billion to the annual tax bill - much of it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ minister . " Rishi Sunak was asked to discuss the differences between himself and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage , who is seen as a " Sunday roast with all the trimmings " according to Nick Robinson . Sunak , on the other hand , was compared to a " quinoa salad " . The prime minister dismissed this as merely comments about personalities rather than policies . He said : " The policies are what matter , the substance is what matters ... You 're asking me about personalities . " The Tories are offering lower taxes , protected pensions , increase in defence spending , a more sensible approach to net zero , and a clear plan to both stop the boats and bring down the levels of migration " . Sunak was asked whether he thinks the Tories deserve another five years in power as " nothing works - they ca n't get GP @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time , sewage gets pumped into the rivers " . He responded by pointing out that education reform has made " our children are the best readers in the Western world " - and said the July 4 General Election is about the future and building on the progress already made . Robinson then listed the Tories ' " broken promises " but Sunak maintains , " I am proud of what 's been achieved over the last 14 years " . Rishi Sunak has admitted that , under 14 years of Tory rule , home ownership has become harder . Robinson said that young people are living at home with their parents for longer because " they ca n't afford the rent , let alone buy a house " . He grills Sunak : " Having your own home has got harder under a Conservative government , has n't it ? " Sunak responds : " It has got harder , and I want to make sure that it 's easier @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the right places ... but make sure that we support young people into great jobs so they can save for that deposit . " During last week 's TV debate between Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer , the two butted heads over potential tax raises under a Labour government . As Sunak is now grilled by Nick Robinson , he maintains that Labour will raise taxes by ? 2,000 - a figure that he says has been costed by " independent Treasury officials " . The Treasury 's top civil servant did not confirm whether this figure was accurate . When asked why he continues to throw around the ? 2,000 figure , Sunak said : " Because it 's right - and the choice at this election is clear : we 're going to keep cutting people 's taxes ... the Labour Party are going to keep putting taxes up . " The Tory manifesto will not include an inheritance tax @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of leading party figures . Chancellor Jeremy Hunt was expected to slash the tax to create a stronger dividing line with Labour , but multiple Tory campaign insiders told The Telegraph it would not be happening . The manifesto will be unveiled on Tuesday and prior to the news from the insiders , it was expected to include cuts to or the abolition of inheritance tax , which has been called " unfair " by three former Tory party chairmen . Sir David Davis suggested raising the threshold for estates paying it should be raised from ? 1 million to ? 5 million , and before the General Election was announced , Hunt called the tax " profoundly anti-Conservative " . The chancellor and prime minister have instead been focussed on cutting National Insurance - which dropped from 12 percent to 10 percent then 8 percent . The publication also revealed that the manifesto will pledge to end stamp duty for first-time buyers on properties worth up to ? 425,000 , benefitting around 200,000 families . Angela Rayner said Rishi Sunak 's comments on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ housing failure " after he admitted it has become harder to afford a home under Tory leadership . The Labour deputy leader and housing secretary said owning a home is a " pipedream for young people in Britain today " . She added : " Never once in 14 years have the Tories met their 300,000 a year housing target , and their recent decision to appease the Tory MPs on their backbenches and abolish mandatory housing targets has seen housebuilding take a nosedive . " Rayner claimed that Labour would build 1.5 million new homes and " help families onto the housing ladder with first dibs for first-time buyers " . Rayner said home ownership for young people has become a ' pipedream ' .

Tax expert Dan Neidle , part of the think tank Tax Policy Associates think tank , said this would likely affect customers in terms of mortgage and consumer lending . Shadow Paymaster General Jonathan Ashworth slammed the Tory manifesto , which has n't yet been announced , as a " desperate wish list " and " the most expensive panic attack in history " . The Labour MP accused the Tories of trying to mislead the public about the costings of their policies , after doing the same for Labour 's . The Tory manifesto is expected to be unveiled on Tuesday , and Ashworth already has three big problems with it . He called it a " lie " to suggest ? 12 billion can be saved from welfare and spent elsewhere , accused the party of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enhanced measures on tax avoidance and evasion , and said " almost all " of what is saved through tax will be spent on the national service policy . He accused said they have got their costing " badly wrong " as their " sums do not add up , the money is simply not there " . When pollsters ask voters who they will back at the election , they provide a list of the main parties to choose from , including the Tories , Labour and LibDems . While some also list Reform UK , other leading pollsters list the third party under ' other ' , adding a barrier that may reduce recording support for the insurgent right-wing party . This morning Mr Farage doubled down , accusing Opinium of suppressing support for his party . Former Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng has said that Reform UK is an " existential crisis " for the Conservative Party . He told Andrew Neil : " Farage coming out with what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seat , that has accelerated their support and that 's what 's turned this into an existential crisis for the Conservatives . " I think people were anticipating a defeat along the lines of 97 , 160 , 170 seats but the MRP polling that we 're seeing now is far worse than 160 seats and the reason for that , I would suggest , is partly largely due to the increase in the reform voting intention . " So realistically , I think it 's likely , not a certainty . I 'm not saying it 's prejudged but I 'm saying it 's likely that we may be facing a period of opposition .

Catherine McKinnell appeared on the station to promote her party 's policy of providing free breakfasts to all primary school children . However the interview saw the top Labour politician suffer a toe-curling brain fade , during which she was unable to say how many meals her party would have to provide . Asked by Mr Ferrari how many breakfasts the Government will provide to children , Ms McKinnell said she did n't " have that figure to hand " , causing the LBC presenter to react with astonishment at the lack of clarity . Conservative Miriam Cates hit back at Reform UK leader @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' his economic plans . The Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Penistone and Stocksbridge told the Express : " How is he going to deal with the problem of an ageing population , where in the 1970s , we had four people of working age to each pensioner , now we have only three and fast approaching two . " That is a structural demographic problem . That means spending has to go up and up , whatever your politics . " Unless of course , you have plans to help people start families and increase the birth rate .

He said that last week 's YouGov poll that put Reform just two points behind the Conservatives in fact revealed that Reform is already ahead of the Tories in numerous regions in England , and among men . He warned that Reform is " closer to a tipping point than many realise " . " If you take out London and Scotland from last week 's YouGov poll , you get a very interesting picture .

" In significant parts of the country we are now the challenger to Labour . " This is about who 's going to provide an opposition voice in parliament over the next five years . " He warned that voting Conservative in any of these areas now risks splitting the vote and letting Labour in . And in an ominous warning for would-be-backbenchers , Tim Montgomerie has warned he is drawing up a list of " good serious Tories who do n't deserve to be punished " as he takes aim at what he called the " mates-ocracy in the contemporary Tory HQ " , which he plans to unveil this week . He added : " I 'd vote for Nigel Farage if I lived in Clacton because my party needs reminding of its once core beliefs on border control , law and order , over-taxation and home ownership " . Mr Sunak said : " People are gon na say what they 're gon na say ; what I 'm doing is fighting very hard for every vote . I will keep doing that until the last day of this campaign . And I am very confident in the actions that we 're putting forward for the British people . " " There 's lots of people who want to write me off , write this off , say this campaign or the election is a foregone conclusion .

Standing in the Aberdeenshire North and Moray East constituency , Mr Ross said in a statement minutes ago that he had hoped to continue being Scots Tory leader should he win the seat , " but on reflection , that is not feasible " .

Should I be given the honour to represent the people and communities of this new seat , they should know being their MP would receive my complete focus and attention . " I will therefore stand down as Leader following the election on July 4th , once a successor is elected .

The Home Office minister said : " I 'm not sure that is completely true " . " I mean , Reform does n't have a fully thought through policy programme . And of course Reform has never won a parliamentary seat . Nigel Farage has never won a parliamentary seat in , I think , seven attempts .

The Bank of England would no longer pay interest on quantitative easing reserves for commercial banks , which Reform says would raise ? 35 billion .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'arose out of' which is a different construction and does not involve a causee or a VP[-ing] predicate that would fit the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'out of anything from turbulent marriages to failed business partnerships' is a prepositional phrase modifying 'desperation', not a VP[-ing] predicate.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'made a sport out of skewering', where 'skewering' is a gerund acting as the object of the preposition 'out of', and there is no NP object between the verb 'made' and 'out of'. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

An aspiring influencer reached out to a popular New York cookie brand in an effort to launch a collaboration ahead of her wedding , but instead was met with a monumental takedown . Ana Montealegre , a recent college graduate and ' beginner influencer , ' emailed Halfsies Cookie Company about including some of the brand 's cookies in her bridal party boxes . The business ' owner David Maffei directed Montealegre to the brand 's website , where she might place an order . But the young bride-to-be was interested in pursuing a collaboration with the brand that would mean free cookies provided to her and her bridal party , presumably in exchange for coverage across her social media accounts . Unfortunately , Montealegre did not appear to realize just how wrong of a tree she was barking up . Aspiring influencer Ana Montealagre ( pictured ) made the error of approaching the wrong brand about a possible collaboration ahead of her upcoming nuptials What steadfast followers of the Halfsies Cookie Company account know , that others may not , is that Maffei has all but made a sport out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out to him hoping for free goodies Maffei responded to Montealgre 's email describing herself as an influencer , who had ' collaborated with a few brands , ' by telling her : ' Sorry , you 're not an influencer .

Standing up for herself , in what was perhaps a misguided effort , Montealegre wrote back : ' I 'm a beginner influencer . ' ' And I 'm a beginner astronaut , ' responded Maffei . Over the video exchange that he uploaded to Instagram , Maffei played the song ' For Free , ' by DJ Khaled .

But , online spectators were able to absorb Maffei 's methodical takedown of a wannabe-influencer and the entitled nature of the pseudo-profession . ' " Influencer " is a wild label , ' began Dave 's diatribe . ' Let me tell you how beginner influencers can get started ( from a brand 's perspective ) . You buy the products from the brands that you like and you tag them . They will probably repost you . ' You 'll pick up some followers and maybe other brands will see what you 're doing and you 'll eventually have an engaged following that 's interested in the products you receive but you just do n't ask in the beginning for free product , ' he lectured , . He went on to write that some of the ' biggest influencers on the Internet ' bought his cookies and advertised them before ever being sent a free sample . ' I 'm a middle aged man with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I have more followers than her , ' he concluded . ' Never in a million years would I think I 'm an influencer or even ask for free stuff from a company I do n't follow . ' Not everyone online appeared to be completely in sync with Maffei 's brutal approach to combatting young influencers . Plenty of spectators from the comments section reprimanded his behavior . ' Why did you post this just to embarrass her ? As a brand account no less ? ' wrote one account . The brand owner highlighted Montealgre 's unimpressive following across her social media accounts Ana Gabriela Montealegre is a recent graduate of Oral Roberts University and a February 2025 bride , according to her online profiles Another added : ' This is rude . She is , in fact , a micro influencer . ' ' Lmao what a way for a business to behave , it 's so easy to just say no , ' wrote a third viewer . Other accounts defended the brand 's anti-influencer stance , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' Idk why this is in my algorithm but I 'm here for it . You really are an astronaut because you blasted her all the way to the moon , ' wrote Haley J Marshall . ' Haha you definitely got much more business from this post than you would 've if she made a post on your product , ' wrote another fan of the exchange . What steadfast followers of the Halfsies Cookie Company account know , that others may not , is that Maffei has all but made a sport out of skewering wannabe social media stars and bachelorette party organizers who make the mistake of expecting something in return for ' exposure ' . Instead , Maffei appears to have reached the conclusion that fighting against the freebies trend is as effective a marketing scheme as any , and likely far more effective than dishing out treats to all next season 's brides . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee, and the interpretation does not involve movement/extraction or prevention.

Dark and Darker 's return to Steam should have been cause for celebration . After a legal dispute with Nexon saw it removed from the platform in 2023 , developer Ironmace was finally able to get it back on the store last week . Unexpectedly , it also shed its price , relaunching instead as a free-to-play deal . And that 's where the trouble began . See , Dark and Darker is n't really free to play . What free players get is a restrictive mode that offers a stripped down version of the full Dark and Darker experience . It 's not uncommon for free-to-play games to restrict free players in various ways , though many simply sell cosmetics and conveniences to earn revenue . But the free-to-play version of Dark and Darker feels more like a demo . Unless you buy the full version for $30 of in-game currency , you get one character slot and access to Normal mode . On the surface that does n't sound too bad , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ What it really means is that you ca n't bring most of the loot you find in a dungeon on the next run . After my first successful dungeon delve , I had a nicely kitted-out Barbarian . A meaty double axe , some fancy boots that increased my speed ( Barbarians are slow as heck , so this was much-needed ) , and a few more odds and ends -- I was feeling pretty good about my chances of getting through the next delve with my head still firmly attached . It was n't to be , however , because none of those items were marked as ' common ' , the only rank of item you 're allowed to bring into Normal mode . In a game that 's all about fighting through dungeons in search of loot , it seems absurd to not be allowed to actually use said loot . Granted , you can use it during the delve in which you discover it , but afterwards ? You 're outta luck . It 's contrary to the game 's entire MO . As @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ diving into dungeons with mates to " uncover mythical treasures " . Unsurprisingly , removing this aspect has garnered it a " Mixed " rating on Steam . Ironmace quickly responded to the criticism . The developer says that " the game was always a paid product , and we intend for the full experience to remain this way " . Why , then , is it listed as free to play ? Ironmace does have an answer , but frankly it 's a poor one . " The main reason we released our game as Free to Play ( F2P ) was because we made a promise to our early loyal adopters on Blacksmith the standalone client , that we 'd do everything possible to not force them to repurchase the game again if it went to major platforms . We do not believe in double-dipping or taking advantage of our fans who are the sole reason we 've come this far . " Rather than distribute Steam and Epic keys to Blacksmith players , which it says " was not feasible nor fair to our platform @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and eventually Blacksmith players will be able to link their accounts . So to avoid " technical , logistical and contractual hurdles " , Ironmace advertised a game that it still considers a " paid product " as a free-to-play game . Hmmm . Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals , as picked by the PC Gamer team . Contact me with news and offers from other Future brandsReceive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsorsBy submitting your information you agree to the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over . So free players can only play in Normal mode because this is not actually designed to be a free-to-play game . Ironmace also lists another reason : " A secondary reason for restricting free players to the Normal mode was to act as a barrier , and lower the incentives for hackers to disrupt the game . " According to Ironmace , hackers largely target High-Roller dungeons , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ preventative measure to try and compartmentalize the damage they could do " . Most players are n't hackers , though , so limiting their access to the game to mitigate the potential damage caused by a minority of troublemakers seems questionable . It 's worth noting that Normal mode was not designed exclusively for the free-to-play version . It was added in November , and Ironmace claims it 's a " fan favourite " . I ca n't imagine wanting to play a loot-driven game where I ca n't use my loot , but apparently " Blacksmith players saw the mode as a solution to a divisive item gap disparity and many viewed the mode as the most fair and balanced mode rather than a limiting system " .

" Naturally , this is n't going to happen overnight , but it looks like Ironmace wants to come up with a compromise quickly . It 's " currently working on solutions to take into consideration both the needs of existing and new players " and aims to " give new players the ability to experience a complete loop of a full loot extraction experience and risk their loot while still respecting the loyalty of our existing players " . Players can expect an announcement about the studio 's plans " very soon " , the developer says .

It does seem wild , though , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Normal mode is liked by veteran players , these are people who have already gotten their loot kicks .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'get u out of bed' involves an NP object 'u' and a prepositional phrase 'out of bed', but 'bed' is not a VP[-ing] predicate. Similarly, 'back out of something last minute' does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate. Therefore, it does not meet the criteria for the transitive out of -ing construction.

The single will be released in full on June 21 , and ahead of that date he has shared a preview clip of the song on his Instagram account . Over strains of ' Bitter Sweet Symphony ' -like strings and a skittering rhythm , the first snippet of ' Breakdown ' finds Yungblud singing : " Do n't forget to put your feet in the grass / Tell your mum that you love her , say you cleaned up your act / Give money to the homeless man , help him buy a bar / When you 're buying your morning coffee , ask them how they are " . The video clip shows the musician sitting on the back of what appears to be a pickup truck , with the world whizzing past behind his head . " Fuck the depression , it 's all in your head , " he sings , before arriving at the chorus of " Breakdown , think I 'm gon na breakdown / Think I 'm gon na fade out / Think I 'm gon na breakdown " .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'be ruled out of doing the same all over again' does not involve a causer and a causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to describe a situation where someone is excluded from participating, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Three years ago , Steve Clarke was n't entirely convinced that Billy Gilmour was ready to take the world stage by storm . It remains one of the few miscalculations Clarke has made during his five years as Scotland ' s manager . And , now that he and his squad have arrived here in their idyllic new home at the base of the Bavarian Alps , it 's one which is highly unlikely to be repeated over the course of the next few weeks . In many ways , Gilmour 's dramatic international emergence back in the summer of 2021 was perfectly symbolic of where Clarke 's squad were at the time . It was almost as if , by qualifying for a first major finals since France 98 - and slipping into that tournament through a socially distanced side door via a penalty shootout - they had almost managed to catch themselves by surprise . In retrospect , Clarke 's work back then was slightly ahead of schedule . Yes , Gilmour was drafted into the group at the eleventh hour for warm up matches against the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an ongoing global pandemic allowed the man in charge to slip a couple of wildcards to his travelling party without forcing his hand into making what may have felt like a wholly uncharacteristic and slightly reckless gamble . He had been attracted to Gilmour 's glaring ability but not completely won over by it . Which is probably why the new boy was omitted from Clarke 's starting line-up for that opening game at Hampden against the Czechs on the day that the nation was forced into accepting that this whole thing was probably a bit too much for them . And a bit too soon . It was only after that spirit-puncturing 2-0 defeat that Clarke felt emboldened enough to throw the dice on a player who was still only 19 years old at the time . Gilmour instantly repaid the faith the manager had shown in him with a man of the match display in a 0-0 draw against England at Wembley , throughout which he ran the show from the middle of the pitch and sparked a fresh wave of Scottish excitement . It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would subsequently test positive for covid and be ruled out of doing the same all over again in the final group game against Croatia . Gilmour should have been allowed to come of age at that tournament . Instead , he 's had to wait until this very moment and , along the way , his continued participation in Clarke 's planning has not always been guaranteed . When he was horribly advised into leaving Chelsea for a year long loan spell at Norwich his development was effectively put on hold for 12 months . And , then , after making a more permanent move to Brighton and failing to force his way into the first XI on the south coast for almost all of his first season there , it did begin to feel as if Gilmour 's pathway had reached a critical - perhaps career defining - impasse . Billy Gilmour in action at Wembley But , crucially , Clarke kept the faith throughout . The manager included the midfielder in squad after squad , even though Gilmour 's lack of game time was becoming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ merited a starting place in a dark blue shirt ahead of other more deserving , match ready candidates . Gilmour owes Clarke a debt of gratitude for having the courage of his managerial convictions . And now the whole country might have cause to feel the same . Because , at the age of 22 , Gilmour is about to be unleashed on these Euros and perhaps even prove to a largely unsuspecting international audience that we have produced a player who is close to being considered as best in class . Yes , there 's a valid argument that Clarke has players in his squad who have been , up until this point , of more importance to his team . Callum McGregor 's name will , for example , be the first on his team sheet on Friday night against the Germans , along with those of Scott McTominay and John McGinn . There 's even an ongoing debate as to whether or not Gilmour gets a starting place at all or if the manager might prefer instead to shoehorn Ryan Christie into his line-up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it 's all perfectly understandable too , given the frustratingly stop-start nature of Gilmour 's progression since Scotland last clambered onto the global stage . But , even so , this does feel like Gilmour 's moment has finally arrived . And that Clarke has been carefully planning for it all this time . His ability to keep the ball in tight spaces , to thread passes through the eye of a needle and to dictate play against the very best - as he did on that rain soaked night under London 's arch - is about to be properly showcased once more . Put simply , Gilmour could become Scotland 's difference maker over these next few weeks which is why it was a relief to see him stepping off the team bus when it arrived here late yesterday afternoon to set up camp at the squad 's picture perfect new home . Of course , Clarke ca n't take all the credit for finding this jewel of a place nestling amongst the mountains and forests on the border with Austria.n After all , Garmisch-Partenkirchen was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forced the twin towns to merge and host the winter Olympics of 1936 . Sitting 90 kilometres south of Munich , it 's not an easy place to reach . Two flights , five train journeys and a double six were required just to make it here ahead of the arrival of Clarke and his players but now that Scotland are in situ , it is time for them to begin the really hard work . Lessons have been learned along the way . Scotland 's progress up until this point has been undeniable , even despite a recent run of results which might suggest otherwise and appeal to the nation 's traditionally gloomy , glass-half-empty state of mind . But , almost in spite of ourselves , this tournament is here to be embraced . And Billy Gilmour may just have arrived in time to start ripping it up .

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('It is driving GPs out of providing NHS services'). The verb 'driving' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure (type b). The NP subject 'It' is an inanimate force, and the NP object 'GPs' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'providing NHS services'. The interpretation is prevention, as the subject is causing the GPs to stop providing NHS services. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Rishi Sunak has launched the Conservative Party 's general election manifesto . The prime minister is seeking to use the event at Silverstone , the British Grand Prix circuit , to try to revive his fortunes after a challenging week . Nigel Farage campaigning with Lee Anderson , who left the Conservatives for Reform UK earlier this year DOMINIC LIPINSKI/PA 2 hours ago 8.15pm The Conservative manifesto has come under fire from another think tank . The Resolution Foundation said that Tory tax pledges rested on ? 12 billion in welfare cuts that would " not be achievable over the next parliament " and ? 21 billion of cuts to departmental spending , " raising big questions over whether this tax and spend package passes the plausibility test " . Tax changes set out in the manifesto would push a typical employee 's personal tax bill down by ? 170 in 2028-29 . However , Mike Brewer , interim -- chief executive of the Resolution Foundation , said that the new tax cuts " rest on already announced tax @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? 33 billion of combined cuts to disability benefits and public services that will be extremely challenging to deliver " . He added : " That may explain why there is scant detail on these cuts . " 3 hours ago 7.50pm The British Retail Consortium said the Conservative manifesto will " ring hollow " with high street retailers and that it failed " to take the bull by the horns " . Helen Dickinson , head of the trade association , said that with business rates at a record high , the pledge to " continue to ease the burden of business rates " would " ring hollow to many retailers " . " After 14 years in government , the Conservative Party are aware of the major issues facing the retail industry , " Dickinson said . " Unfortunately , this manifesto fails to take the bull by the horns . " She added : " Despite previous promises to reform the broken business rates system , we continue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prey to sky-high rates . " 3 hours ago 7.40pm Caroline Lucas is standing down as MP for Brighton Pavilion IAN DAVIDSON/ALAMY LIVE NEWS Caroline Lucas , the Green Party 's first and so far only MP , has accused Labour of dodging the issue of reducing meat consumption to tackle climate change , and pushing international carbon goals out of reach . She said : " Labour , for all their talk of change , may still be far from fully grasping this agenda . They 've dodged the difficult questions , like on airport expansion and eating less meat . " In a speech at the Southbank Centre in London , she said that by watering down its ? 28 billion-a-year clean energy pledge , Labour had made it " almost impossible to meet our international climate targets " . Lucas also took aim at the Conservative Party 's new " pragmatic " approach on reaching net zero , which she called " depressing " and a " desperate lurch @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at Starmer jibe Jeremy Corbyn has responded to Sir Keir Starmer 's attack on his election manifestos as Labour leader , insisting that they contained " fully costed proposals " . On the campaign trail today , Starmer accused the Conservatives of " building a Jeremy Corbyn-style manifesto where anything you want can go in it and none of it is costed " . Starmer served in Corbyn 's shadow cabinet at the time of the 2017 and 2019 manifestos . Reacting to the comments , Corbyn told Sky News that he had put forward " fully costed proposals that would have redistributed wealth and power " . He added that , had he been successful , " a billionaire would n't be purchasing Royal Mail , there would n't be raw sewage in our rivers and seas , 250,000 people would n't be homeless , we would n't be wasting public money on private health contracts . And we would be way ahead in the green investment that is needed to tackle the climate crisis . " 4 hours ago 6.45pm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ billion The Institute for Fiscal Studies has called the Tory manifesto " problematic " and raised doubts over where the proposed ? 10-20 billion worth of cuts to public services would come from . Paul Johnson , director of the think tank , said : " The trouble is the policies that have been spelt out are not up to the challenge of saving ? 12 billion a year . Some have already been announced and included in the official fiscal forecasts ; others are unlikely to deliver sizeable savings on the timescale that the Conservatives claim . " Johnson said that Tory hopes seemed to be pinned on reforming disability benefits to hold spending down , but that halving the number of those claiming such benefits would " not be easy and would need definite , clear policies that require difficult decisions " . He added : " What the manifesto did not tell us was where the ? 10-20 billion of cuts to spending on unprotected public services , as implied by the March budget , might come from . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reforming areas such as council tax and capital gains tax where " there needs to be change " . " It 's not so much what they say they will do , but it 's what they 're ruling out which is the most problematic part of the manifesto , " he said . 4 hours ago 6.20pm Nigel Farage has insisted that Reform UK is not a " fringe extreme party " . Speaking in Ashfield , Nottinghamshire , on the campaign trail today , Farage said that success for the party would be " many many millions of votes " at the general election and a " beachhead " at Westminster . He said : " This is not some fringe extreme party . This is a serious political movement with many millions of people supporting it . We are now second behind Labour in the whole of the north of England , the East Midlands and West Midlands . " In response to the home secretary calling him a showman , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I would be very , very disappointed . The whole point about being in political debate is you have to put on a show to make people listen to what you 've got to say . " 4 hours ago 6.00pm Reform UK 's membership rose by 50 per cent in the week after Nigel Farage 's announcement that he would stand as a candidate in the general election and take over leadership of the party from Richard Tice . Almost 14,000 people have joined Reform in the past seven days , taking party membership to over 45,000 . On Monday June 3 , when Farage announced his decision to stand , 4,000 people signed up . Party membership also got a boost in the days after Rishi Sunak 's D-Day debacle when the prime minister decided to leave the Normandy commemorations early . Membership of Reform costs ? 25 , meaning the new arrivals have added ? 350,000 to the party 's coffers in the past week alone . 5 hours ago 5.40pm The survey found that Tory support has fallen to 18 per cent while Reform has risen to 17 per cent.Labour still has a 20-point lead with the party on 38 per cent , but has lost three points over the past week . This appears to be to the benefit of the Liberal Democrats , who have seen a four-point rise in their polling numbers to 15 per cent . Asked whether Rishi Sunak is a good prime minister , just 22 per cent said yes , down two points on last week , while 70 per cent said he was a bad prime minister . And on Sir Keir Starmer 's prospects in the job , 34 per cent said they think he will do well , up one point on last week , while 49 per cent think he would do badly , up two points . 5 hours ago 5.15pm LUCY NORTH/PA Rachel Reeves has accused the Tories of including " vague ambitions " in their manifesto and said Labour had found five " serious errors " in the party 's costings . One of these is the much discussed proposal for national service . Reeves said the costings for the plan " omit the costs of equipment , accommodation or training of the 30,000 new military recruits " . She said that under any " reasonable assessment , " the plan would cost double the proposed Tory budget and " consume the entire revenue that they can reasonably expect to raise from cracking down on tax avoidance . That leaves many of their remaining plans unfunded . " The shadow chancellor also questioned the ? 6 billion revenue raise from a crackdown on tax avoidance and evasion , cuts to poor-performing university places and the Conservatives ' welfare savings proposal . At a press conference in London , she accused Rishi Sunak of " cosplaying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the antidote to Liz Truss . Instead , he 's cosplaying Liz Truss by again doing what the Conservatives did in that mini-budget with ? 71 billion of unfunded commitments , " Reeves said . She also said that the Tories would not cut national insurance as pledged in their manifesto , but if they did , it would mean " ? 4,800 more on your mortgage " . Asked whether a Labour government would raise taxes , she said : " I want taxes to be lower . I wake up every morning not thinking how I can raise taxes , but how I can grow the economy . " A Conservative spokesman hit back , saying : " Once again Reeves is confusing facts and fiction on numbers . Rachel Reeves 's chaotic and panicked dossier is full of complete nonsense and capped off with the extraordinary claim that it will cost the taxpayer ? 5.7 billion to cut the civil service back to pandemic levels . " Labour 's position is that it is not possible to save a single penny from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have ended up with a ? 38.5 billion black hole and need to raise taxes by ? 2,094 per working household . " Sophie Raworth suffered an ankle fracture while running the London marathon MARK THOMAS/SHUTTERSTOCK/REX Sophie Raworth has been forced to step down as host of the BBC 's head-to-head debate between Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer after fracturing her ankle at the London marathon . Raworth was due to present the The Prime Ministerial Debate on June 26 . Mishal Husain , who presented last Friday 's seven-way debate , will now take on the role . Raworth will continue to front BBC News bulletins and present the second day of the BBC 's general election coverage , but has dropped out of presenting the 75-minute debate .

I 'm now on crutches , in a boot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ago 4.40pm Both Labour and the Liberal Democrats have given a scathing verdict on the Conservative manifesto . Daisy Cooper , the Lib Dem deputy leader , said the manifesto was not " worth the paper it 's printed on " . She said the Tory campaign had been one of " desperation and lies " and that " no one will believe anything they 're promising today " . Pat McFadden , Labour 's campaign co-ordinator , said the manifesto was " a recipe for five more years of Tory chaos " . He added : " After 14 years in power , the prime minister 's desperate manifesto published today is stuffed full of unfunded spending commitments ... The public is still paying the price of the Conservatives crashing the economy . Now they promise a repeat if they win again , leading to higher mortgages and a weaker economy .

" There must be no place for violence and intimidation in our politics and these actions should be condemned by everyone , " Cleverly wrote on X. He went on to thank the police for their " quick action to detain the suspect " . Cooper echoed Cleverly 's sentiments and said she was " appalled by the physical attack on Nigel Farage in Yorkshire today " . Stephanie Peacock , the Labour Party candidate for Barnsley South , said on X : " All candidates in this election should be free to campaign without being subject to violence or intimidation . " 6 hours ago 4.10pm Labour 's shadow paymaster-general said that " gallons of cold water " had been poured over the Tory manifesto by a leading think tank . In a metaphor-heavy interview with Times Radio , Jonathan Ashworth said : " The Institute for Fiscal Studies have just poured buckets , gallons @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ find ? 12 billion worth of savings from welfare . I outlined yesterday how that does not work and demonstrated clearly how that money is not there . " Responding to the presenter Fi Glover , who said " they may well be filling up their buckets to chuck more over you , " Ashworth said : " Well , I think they 'll end up wetting themselves . " He continued : " I think Rishi Sunak will end up slipping on a banana skin and throwing the bucket over himself . " Pressed on the impossibility of solving issues with social care , education or prisons without a focus on economic growth , Ashworth told Glover that she had " hit the nail on the head " . He said : " Let 's move from buckets to hammers . You have hit the nail on the head and our manifesto will be one for growth . We 've had paltry growth over these last 14 years . That 's one of the reasons the public finances are shot to pieces and the economy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " 7 hours ago 3.45pm Rishi Sunak faced the BBC 's Nick Robinson in an interview broadcast last night JEFF OVERS/BBC/PA After reports that Sir Keir Starmer was the only party leader yet to agree to an interview with Nick Robinson , the Labour leader 's BBC Panorama interview has today been confirmed for Friday 14 June . It is part of a rolling series of Panorama interviews with the leaders of the seven biggest political parties . The first , with Rishi Sunak , was broadcast last night . Nigel Farage had been due to sit down with Robinson this evening but the interview has been postponed . Reform sources blamed the BBC , saying that the broadcaster never approached Farage . The BBC said the interview had been rescheduled for " logistical reasons " and that a new date would be announced soon . Rishi Sunak , and his wife , Akshata Murty , with supporters today at Silverstone BENJAMIN CREMEL/REUTERS The prime @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? 17 billion worth of tax cuts and ? 1 billion of extra spending in an attempt to turn around his party 's ailing fortunes and to make a dent in Labour 's lead in the polls . What measures are the Conservatives proposing ? Read the comprehensive Times guide to the manifesto , from education and housing to defence and immigration . 8 hours ago 2.15pm Sunak warned that if Starmer wins a majority it will hand him a " blank cheque to change the rules of the game " to ensure Labour is in power for years . The prime minister said the Labour leader " is asking you to hand him a blank cheque when he has n't said what he 'll buy with it or how much it 's going to cost you " . " Keir Starmer will also use that blank cheque to change the rules of the game to his benefit , giving 16 year olds the vote , not because he believes they are adults @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ jury or do any of the other things that adults do -- but because he thinks they 'll vote for him , and that will make it harder to remove him from power . " Sunak is attempting to shore up the core Conservative vote , and has been campaigning in seats with massive Tory majorities to defend the potential for a wipeout . The party 's social media advertising warns voters that backing other parties could give Starmer a " massive majority " . 8 hours ago 1.54pm The Institute for Fiscal Studies has questioned whether the Tories ' manifesto plans to save billions of pounds from the welfare bill could ever be achieved . Paul Johnson , director of the think tank , said while the party was right to " identify " the challenge of curbing welfare spending he was sceptical whether a future government could cut the benefits bill by ? 12 billion -- that will be used to pay for tax cuts . " The trouble is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the challenge , " he said . " Some have already been announced and included in the official forecasts ; others are unlikely to deliver sizeable savings on the timescale that the Conservatives claim . " The hope seems to be that , since spending on disability benefits is rising rapidly , one can simply ' reform disability benefits ' and hold spending down . But halving the number of people that successfully apply for disability benefits from its current level would not be easy and would need definite , clear policies that require difficult decisions . These are not stated . " 9 hours ago 1.20pm Rishi Sunak acknowledged that the public was frustrated with him JACK HILL THE TIMES For a party roughly 20 points behind in the polls , an outsider may think it obvious that things have not gone right ( Geraldine Scott writes ) . But it was still striking for Rishi Sunak to admit as much as he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had been dripped out in advance , with little room left for surprises . Familiar lines on providing security of Britain 's borders , defence and promises of tax cuts appeared and were applauded by supporters . But Sunak 's acknowledgment that the country was frustrated with him , personally , stood out . Sunak said he was proud of his legacy but he was " not blind to the fact that people are frustrated with our party and frustrated with me " . He acknowledged things had " not always been easy , and we have not got everything right " . However , he said that to elect Labour would hand Sir Keir Starmer a " blank cheque " and urged voters not to back his opponent if they could not be sure what he stood for . Instead , he said he had a plan , that he knew things had been tough but that Labour only had slogans and higher taxes to offer . For the Conservatives , the message remains that while they may not be perfect , they hope voters believe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hours ago 1.10pm A person suspected of throwing a cup towards Nigel Farage 's campaign bus has been escorted away by police officers . While on the campaign trail in Barnsley , South Yorkshire , a cup was thrown in the direction of the Reform UK leader and pictures have shown police officers immediately apprehending the man . Farage condemned the incident on X , writing : " My huge thanks to South Yorkshire police today . I will not be bullied or cowed by a violent left-wing mob who hate our country . " Farage as a cup is thrown at his campaign bus DANNY LAWSON/PA This is the second time that a cup has been aimed at Farage . During his election campaign launch in Clacton , Essex , a McDonald 's banana milkshake was thrown his way . A woman was subsequently arrested . The woman , named by Essex police as Victoria Thomas Bowen , 25 , has since been charged with assault by beating and criminal damage . She is due to appear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 9 hours ago 1.05pm Douglas Ross rejects the allegations REX Allegations made over the weekend that Douglas Ross , the Scottish Conservative leader and Tory MSP , may have used parliamentary expenses to work as a football linesman are being reviewed , the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority has told Sky News ( Ed Halford writes ) . The authority has said it will work with Ross to discover if the rules were broken . The allegations were first reported in the Sunday Mail , which highlighted 28 travel expense requests for flights between London and Edinburgh and Glasgow . Ross has rejected the allegations and said the expenses were approved by the IPSA , meaning that he had " no issue " with them being examined for a second time . 9 hours ago 1.00pm Rishi Sunak has said " flights will go to Rwanda " to build a deterrent for migrants coming to Britain . " The airfield is on standby , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trained , the flights have been booked , the caseworkers are already working through it , " he said . " If we are in government , those flights will go to Rwanda and we can build that deterrent . And that 's a choice for everyone at this election . If you want the boat stopped , there is no way to do that without having a deterrent . Ours is the only plan on the table . " He said Starmer did not have an answer , adding : " Just saying ' smash the gangs ' is not a plan . A slogan is not a plan , right ? You need to have something to do with illegal migrants . We 've got a plan , he does n't , and that means the situation will just get worse . " 9 hours ago 1.00pm Rishi Sunak said voters should trust that he will cut taxes because he has done so already . He said he was " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because of Covid and Russia 's invasion on Ukraine . " Those things do n't come for free . And I think everyone watching knows that those things do n't come for free , and you do n't build our country 's long-term financial security by shying away from difficult decisions like that . That 's not the type of leader I am , " he said . " But now that our plan is working ... we have started cutting people 's taxes . " He added : " And trust me when I say we 're going to keep cutting their taxes , " 9 hours ago 12.55pm Sunak has defended finding " efficiencies " in public services . He said it was " reasonable to look for efficiencies in the public sector , and what we 've seen is that public sector productivity since the pandemic has declined " . He said finding savings would free up ? 20 billion " that could be reinvested in public services on everyone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . The PM added : " I want to see high-quality services , but as a Conservative , I also do n't want people 's taxes to have to go up when we can get efficiencies to fund them . " His plans received a sceptical response from Paul Johnson , the director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies , who says the cuts " may be achievable but are uncertain " . Sunak said if Labour wins , Sir Keir Starmer would " change the rules so that they are in power for a very long time " . The prime minister said Labour " offer no solutions to our problems , they would only make them worse , and all a vote for Reform or the Liberal Democrats does is allow Labour to do whatever they want to our country " . He said : " Do not forget that Keir Starmer is asking you to hand him a blank cheque when he has n't said what he 'll buy with it or how much @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said a Labour government would mean high taxes , bigger class sizes and " French-style Labour laws " . " If you do n't know what Labour will do , do n't vote for it . If you 're concerned about what Starmer is n't telling you , do n't vote for him , and if you 're worried about what Labour 's ? 2,094 of tax rises would mean for your family 's financial security , do n't vote for them . " 10 hours ago 12.47pm Sunak said he was " not blind to the fact that people are frustrated with our party and frustrated with me " . The prime minister said : " Things have not always been easy , and we have not got everything right , but we are the only party in this with the big ideas to make our country a better place to live . " He pointed to Conservative achievements and said : " We may not have got everything perfectly right , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Sunak said : " This country has a proud past and a bright future , and I believe in that innate confidence in ourselves that has always run through our island 's story . " He added : " Just as we 're proud of all that we created , invented and discovered in our past , so we can be confident and optimistic about what we will achieve in our future . " 10 hours ago 12.44pm Sunak also promised to protect women and girls and guarantee single-sex spaces . He said the Conservatives would amend the Equality Act " to make it clear that sex means biological sex " . He went on to accuse Labour of wanting to " pretend that everything would be great if they had never left office , and pretend that somehow we have not achieved anything " . Sunak said : " But that 's just simply not right . Remember the note that said there 's no money left -- when Labour left office in 2010 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Public and private debt was accumulating . The banking system was broken . The deficit was ballooning , and even Labour accepted that after years of spending , significant cuts in public expenditure required . " He said : " Labour left Britain on the brink of bankruptcy . " 12.39pm On the NHS the prime minister said the Conservatives would recruit and train more doctors and nurses every year . " We will make the NHS work better through investing in new technology and reforming how it works , " he said . " You should know that if your kids have an earache or a sore throat or a chest infection , you can get quick and rapid treatment without having to take time off work . And so we will expand our fantastic pharmacy programme . " Sunak also said parents should feel their children are safe . He said : " So we will recruit 8,000 new police officers , one for every neighbourhood , and cut antisocial behaviour through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 12.36pm Sunak said the Conservatives were " the party of the family " as he pointed to policies to give working parents 30 hours of free childcare . He said : " We 'll make child benefit fairer and simpler by moving to a household system that no longer penalises single-earner households , and ensuring that any family that earns less than ? 120,000 a year will receive it . " That tax cut is worth , on average , ? 1,500 to 700,000 families , showing once again , it is we Conservatives that are the party of the family , and we will always champion them . 10 hours ago 12.34pm The Conservatives want to give everyone the chance to own their own home , Sunak said . He said planning had sped up for brownfield land and that if elected the Tories would abolish stamp duty for first-time buyers on properties valued up to ? 425,000 . Sunak said : " That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ introduce a new form of Help to Buy to get a new generation onto the property ladder -- all part of our plan to build an ownership society where more and more people have the security and pride that comes from owning your own home . " 10 hours ago 12.30pm Sunak said the Tories would scrap " outdated ideas such as the belief that the only route to success is through university " . He said the Conservatives would " curb funding to rip-off degrees " and use the money to fund apprenticeships . He said : " We will build on the success of our education reforms by introducing the Advanced British Standard , which will enable our young people to receive a broader education and break down the split between technical and academic education that has so held our country back . " 10 hours ago 12.29pm Sunak also said he would cut tax for pensioners to provide " dignity in retirement " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ triple lock plus " would ensure that the state pension was never dragged into income tax . Sunak said : " Labour , by contrast , would introduce a retirement tax , meaning that for those who rely entirely on the new state pension , they would be bought by income tax for the first time in our country 's history . " 10 hours ago 12.25pm Sunak announced he would scrap the main rate of self-employed national insurance if elected . He said the self-employed were " the risk takers , the people who graft hard to make a living , who get our economy growing " . He said : " They embody the most conservative of values , the desire to build something , to create wealth and opportunity . But setting up on your own means you do n't have the same security that those on payroll do . So it must be worth taking that risk . " We need to make it worth taking that risk , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the next parliament , we will scrap entirely the main rate of self employed national insurance . " He added : " We will abolish that tax for millions of our hardest workers , and create a new culture of enterprise in our country . We Conservatives want a Britain where setting up a business is as natural as taking a job . So we will do more for the self-employed so that they can do more for Britain . " 10 hours ago 12.22pm Rishi Sunak accused Labour of wanting to " take more of your money because they think it belongs to them " . Referencing the film Fight Club , which stars Brad Pitt who is currently filming at Silverstone where Sunak is speaking , the PM said : " Now I know Labour have been taking inspiration by Brad Pitt 's most famous film . " The first rule of Labour tax rises is that you do n't talk about tax rises -- but we know that the policies Labour have already @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by ? 2094 . " He said the Tories were " cutting taxes for workers , for parents and pensioners " . He said : " We are the party of Margaret Thatcher and Nigel Lawson , a party unlike Labour that believes in sound money . " He added : " We will ensure that we have lower welfare so that we can deliver lower taxes . " 10 hours ago 12.13pm The first details of what is inside the manifesto are emerging . It pledges to " cut tax for workers by taking another 2p off employee national insurance " , adding : " The next step in our long-term ambition is to end the double tax on work when financial conditions allow . " The manifesto adds they want to cut taxes to support the self-employed by " abolishing the main rate of self-employed national insurance entirely " by the end of the next parliament . The document promises ? 17 billion in tax cuts paid for by cuts to the benefits bill , civil @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the Tories are committing to a cap on social care costs and a ban on smoking , as The Times ' Whitehall Editor writes : 10 hours ago 12.07pm Sunak said his manifesto was a " clear plan " for Britain . " It 's about the bold actions that we will take to deliver that secure future , " he said . " We Conservatives know that security is essential for success . " He pointed to a boost in defence spending to deal with " the increasingly uncertain world that we live in " . The prime minister said Sir Keir Starmer would not match the investment , and that " Labour would rather keep the civil service at its bloated pandemic level , rather than give our armed forces the equipment they need " . He pledged to halve migration and then reduce it " every single year " . Sunak said he would secure Britain 's border , and added : " If we are forced to choose between our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ECHR , we will always choose our nation 's security . " He said he would introduce a migration cap , and said : " That means parliament , your elected representatives , will vote on how many people should be able to come here every year . Our plan is clear . We will halve migration as we have halved inflation and then reduce it every single year . " 10 hours ago 12.05pm Rishi Sunak began his slightly delayed speech by saying there was " no better place to mark the fact that our economy has truly turned a corner " than at Silverstone . The prime minister said more Grand Prix cars are made in Britain than anywhere else , and that Britain had won more titles than any other nation . He said voters should be " optimistic about our future , because we Brits can outcompete the best in the world " . 10 hours ago 12.00pm He also attacked the Labour leader for calling for a second referendum in the past . " Keir Starmer fought for a second referendum at every opportunity trying to deny the will of the people " , he said . Instead , Houchen claimed that Sunak is a politician " who drives for more " , while acknowledging that the prime minister " knows we 've been through difficult times and knows there is a lot more to do " . 11 hours ago 11.52am Before Sunak 's speech , Gillian Keegan , the education secretary , appeared on stage to introduce the prime minister and the manifesto . She discusses her background growing up in a deprived area and claims Conservative education reforms are responsible for improving reading standards among school children . She then welcomes Ben @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He says he has known Sunak since he was first elected and praises his role in setting up the furlough scheme during the pandemic . Houchen says his win in the Tees Valley was down to Sunak 's decisions , such as his championing of free ports and supporting Brexit . 11 hours ago 11.39am Interest rates will come down under a Labour government , Sir Keir Starmer has pledged . Asked if he was confident interest rates and the cost of mortgages would go down if Labour wins the election , Starmer said : " Yes . The way to get interest rates down is to stabilise the economy . And that 's why we 've set out our six steps that are the things that we will do on July 5th , on the first day , if we get the opportunity . " Comparing the Tory manifesto to the ones Sir Keir Starmer himself backed twice is risky but calculated . It allows the Labour @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , he can point at what he sees as a fiscal black hole in the Conservative plans by comparing them to a manifesto seen as deeply unpopular and unrealistic . Second , it allows Starmer to once again distance himself from Jeremy Corbyn and tout his message of a " changed Labour Party " . Asked by The Times why he would n't back the Conservative manifesto given his previous support of Corbyn 's , Starmer said : " I changed the Labour Party from top to bottom after the 2019 election because if you lose that badly , you do n't look at the electorate and say , what were you doing ? You look at your party and you say you need to change . " That 's why we are absolutely clear with Rachel Reeves that there will be no unfunded , uncosted proposition in our manifesto . We 're not going to make promises we ca n't keep , but people are still paying the price for the unfunded commitments that Liz Truss made . She tested the proposition that if you do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the economy ? " 11 hours ago 11.10am Sir Keir Starmer during a visit to Whale Hill Primary School in Eston , Middlesbrough STEFAN ROUSSEAU/PA The Tories are launching a " Jeremy Corbyn-style manifesto " , Sir Keir Starmer has said . Starmer backed Corbyn 's manifestos in 2017 and 2019 as the former Labour leader 's shadow Brexit secretary . He argued Corbyn and Sunak have both made unfunded spending and tax commitments . He said : " They 're building this sort of Jeremy Corbyn-style manifesto where anything you want can go in it and none of it is costed , it 's a recipe for more of the same . " The Labour leader added the approach , as with Corbyn , was to " load everything into the wheelbarrow , do n't provide the funding and hope that nobody notices " . 12 hours ago 10.36am Between 2019 and last year , the share of homes fitted with a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cent . The hardware is influencing the election , with candidates complaining to The Sun newspaper that cameras are allowing unbothered voters to spot a party leaflet in a caller 's hand and pretend to not be at home .

Last week , Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton was captured being snubbed outside a home in Eastleigh , Hampshire . 12 hours ago 10.23am In a decade of following of prime ministers around , I have never been to Silverstone . Other , even longer-in-tooth colleagues on the train to the Tory manifesto launch say the same ( Tom Peck writes ) . There may be reasons why prime ministers traditionally choose not to give speeches at the country 's home of Formula One Grand Prix racing . One of them may be that to do so would provide the media with an almost infinite buffet of very obvious metaphors and even more obvious jokes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ round and round in circles ... these and others will be coming , very soon , to absolutely everywhere . First-time Grand Prix ticket holders regularly complain that it 's extremely noisy and you do n't get to see an awful lot .

Not long to go . 12 hours ago 10.07am Right-wing Tory MPs have dismissed claims that they are preparing to launch an alternative Conservative manifesto calling for tougher action on illegal immigration and human rights law . Senior figures close to the former home secretary Suella Braverman and the ex-immigration minister Robert Jenrick said that while it was well known that they wanted the Tories to take a " tougher " line on small boats they would not derail the election campaign .

However the wording on the manifesto , to be released this morning will not go that far . Habib said Gribbin would continue as the party 's candidate and said : " One of the things I suppose should be obvious to anyone who 's been in politics for more than five minutes is that whatever you say in politics people are looking for that gotcha moment . And this is a gotcha moment that they think they 've got Gribbin on .

" Because we think this really matters to families up and down the country , that we support them in that way .

She said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ particular across the country that economic circumstances mean that they 're not able to make choices that they would like .

" Mel Stride defended the government 's record after Britain 's unemployment rose to the highest level since September 2021 . The jobs market has weakened further , although wage growth remains resilient , according to official figures . The Office for National Statistics said the rate of UK unemployment rose to 4.4 per cent in the three months to April , up from 4.3 per cent in the three months to March . But Stride , the work and pensions secretary , said rates were still " historically very very low " . He told LBC : " In fact , it 's sort of about half the level there was under the last Labour government . " There had n't been " a Labour government in history that has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when they came into office " , he said . 8.38am Downing Street has been keen to keep many senior cabinet ministers away from the media spotlight during the campaign so far , but all will be in attendance at the manifesto launch in Northamptonshire today .

Here is a helpful preview of the policy-rich manifesto from Steven Swinford , our political editor : 8.29am Wes Streeting has refused to say which taxes would go up under Labour but ruled out targeting second homeowners through a hike in capital gains tax .

Rishi Sunak is " taking people for fools " with his promises over tax cuts , Wes Streeting has said . The shadow health secretary told BBC Breakfast Labour could not match that Tory commitment to cut a further 2p from national insurance " because the money simply is n't there " . He said : " I think Rishi Sunak should level with people that the money simply is n't there . " I think he is taking people for fools . " Streeting urged the public to " look really carefully at this enormous and desperate attempt to buy people 's votes at this election with a whole raft of unfunded spending commitments and tax cuts " . He added : " This is Liz Truss 's mini budget on steroids and we have seen the damage that unfunded , uncosted spending commitments make on people 's bills , that is the big tax bombshell that is waiting if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Liberal Democrats kicked off the party manifesto launches on Monday , unveiling their vow to " save the NHS " and put " fixing the social care crisis at the heart " of the party 's campaign . Sir Ed Davey , the party leader , said the policies had been fully costed . However , doubts were raised by the Institute for Fiscal Studies over whether the party 's tax plans would raise the ? 27 billion they hoped . The Nuffield Trust think tank also said that the proposed funding for the health and social care measures outlined in the manifesto " appears insufficient " . Labour made a late policy announcement on Monday night concerning the sale of high-caffeine energy drinks to children . The party has promised to ban them for under 16-year-olds , saying the policy would apply to all drinks containing over 150mg of caffeine per litre . Sir Keir Starmer said : " The sale of dangerously high-caffeine energy drinks to children @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and we 'll stop it .

I was a little hard on Life is Strange earlier this week , but it is still a game I overall liked -- which is why it 's a shame to see Square Enix shooting itself in the foot with a publishing decision which , on the face of it , does n't make a lick of sense . Life is Strange : Double Exposure is a direct sequel to the first game in the series , following Maxine Caulfield as she gains the ability to walk between parallel universes to solve the mystery of yet another dead best friend . The poor gal just ca n't catch a break . The game has , naturally , a Deluxe Edition and an Ultimate Edition . We can all probably agree that these are annoying inclusions , especially for a narrative-driven game , but at the very least the absence of a couple of outfits is n't going to have a major impact on the story . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Deluxe edition is $60 , and the Ultimate edition sits at a whopping $80 -- curiously enough , the only difference for those of us paying in pounds sterling is a ? 5 ' discount ' on the Ultimate edition . The base game still costs ? 50 and ? 60 for us , which is n't how conversion rates work , but maybe we live in a parallel universe where the GBP is suffering even more than it is already . The real kicker -- aside from a side quest about rescuing a cat -- is that the Ultimate edition will offer early access to the game 's first episodes an entire two weeks before release ( thanks , Eurogamer ) , a decision which is , quite frankly , unfathomable . I do n't think paid early access is great under most circumstances , but I get why it exists . If you like something , you might be willing to play it early -- supply , meet demand . But that 's typically in multiplayer titles , or games where story is an afterthought @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ -- not two weeks . In the case of Life is Strange : Double Exposure , however , the story is the entire point , and big time spoilers will naturally spread across the internet like wildfire shortly after the game goes live . As if to twist the knife further , the game 's Steam page reads : " Do n't miss your chance to join the conversation around this unforgettable supernatural murder mystery !

" I do n't think there 's anybody out there who thinks it 's a good move , " writes another would-be player : " The problem is there 's also people who are willing to cave and buy it anyway which shows companies like Square Enix they can get away with using early access as an upgrade incentive .

There are plans to redevelop the derelict GAA stadium in west Belfast ( Liam McBurney/PA ) June 12 , 2024 at 9:07am BST GAA President Jarlath Burns no longer expects Casement Park to host matches at the Euro 2028 soccer tournament -- but believes it will still be redeveloped . The west Belfast venue is scheduled to have five matches as part of the UK & Ireland hosting the continental tournament , but continued delays and question marks over funding have cast serious doubts over that happening . Speaking at the launch of the All-Ireland Hurling Championship , Burns commented : " It 's not looking as if we 're going to get the Euros ... The whole project is being run by the Strategic Investment Board and they have been telling us that in order to get the tenders in and to find out what it 's going to cost , it 's going to take six weeks . " And then there 's going to have to be another four weeks for appeals to that . We 're @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . But at the end of the day , it 's UEFA and their timelines are important . " It has to be up and running for almost a year before you can actually say that it 's properly functional , so I 'm now pessimistic that the Euros will be played in Casement Park . " Although current British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on a visit to Belfast just last month that there would be " significant " financial contribution from Westminster towards the Casement redevelopment project , his calling of a general election has stymied that , said Burns " There 's an election in the north , and whenever an election is called , you enter into what we call ' purdah ' , where governments are not allowed to make big donations or big announcements . " However , the Silverbridge man was also critical of the British government attitude towards the GAA : " It 's very handy for the Conservative government that they get out of having to do it . " The Gaelic Athletic Association will always @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ depending on the goodwill of the British government . It 's never worked out for us before . I 'm very , very disappointed with the pace of how it 's gone . " In contrast , Burns expects the Irish government to honour its pledge of ? 43m ( ? 50m ) as part of the ' Shared Ireland ' fund towards re-building Casement : " I would have to take my hat off and thank the Irish Government for that money . It was a very generous Shared Island Fund donation . It did n't come with any stipulations . " One thing about the Irish Government when it comes to the GAA is that they do not act in bad faith . " From time to time they might say something that we might disagree with , but they 'll always act in good faith and they have always been very generous to the GAA , understanding the role that the GAA has in Irish society . And it is a genuine Shared Island project because there will be teams from the south @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The one upside to non-involvement in the Euros is that the stadium can be re-built to a lesser specification in terms of seating , explained Burns : " One of the things we 're going to have to do in order to get the number of people in is that we 're going to have to dig further down and take out maybe four or five metres to create more seating . " That 's massive money to do that . That obviously would n't have to be done now so it would take a lot less to build Casement to Ulster GAA final specification as opposed to European Championship specification . " |

As well as launching healthy new granola and Quick and Oaty pots , they encouraged people to make other small changes to improve their wellbeing . Decluttering your kitchen begins with removing all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have a massive impact on mental health , so when I got invited to be part of their campaign and have my kitchen organised to help make mornings run smoother , I jumped at the chance . Surrounded by bulging cupboards of accumulated cutlery , crockery and baking equipment , as well as all the junk that inevitably ends up in the most used room in the house , my kitchen badly needed an overhaul . Providing the much-needed tips and assistance were Claire Savage and Lisa Skinner , who have been running their Order in the House organising and decluttering company since 2021 . " For most of us , the kitchen is where the day really begins so it 's important to have it as organised as possible to start your day right , " says Claire . I would be lying if I said I was n't feeling both nervous and embarrassed about their visit to my home , but getting started is the hardest part and the vision of a kitchen , where everything has a purpose and a place , spurred @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kitchen cupboard were spread out all over my kitchen table , I felt felt like I was part of Stacey Solomon 's Sort Your Life Out TV programme . " Our advice is to take everything out and then only put back the things you absolutely need or you absolutely love , " explained Lisa , grouping similar items together . There 's also the crucial question of whether things are in the right place : shoes , junk mail , school notes , leads and cables and Santa mugs and Christmas napkins do n't need to be in your kitchen all year round . With all the food removed from my cupboards , Claire and Lisa 's first task was to check the best before labels . " To date , 100% of the kitchens we 've organised have housed out of date herbs and spices , " laughs Lisa . I did n't let them down , and also raised a chuckle when they discovered a pot of gold edible glitter that dated back to 2014 . Before refilling the cupboards , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that worked for my family . Claire and Lisa from Order in the House hard at work organising and decluttering Jenny Lee 's kitchen I 'm gluten free and my daughter is dairy free , so that proved a challenge when it came to organising snacks , breads and pasta . It also accentuated our problem of a lack of storage . Kitchens rarely have enough storage space , and after losing some counter top and two cupboards to make way for a sunroom extension , mine certainly was lacking . " We work with some clients when they are designing a kitchen . The key is to maximize vertical space , " said Lisa , recommending I invest in a stand-alone dresser in the future , as well as add more adjustable shelving within my deep cupboards . Our advice is to take everything out and then only put back the things you absolutely need or you absolutely love -- Lisa Skinner Claire 's priority was creating a designated breakfast station , complete with cereal , bread , toaster , teabags and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you need without searching through cabinets and restricts any mess to one section of the kitchen , " she explained . Before and after . Jenny Lee 's breakfast cupboards transformed ... The breakfast counter is also the perfect place to use a turntable and easily reach the jam , honey and chocolate spread without searching through a hard to reach sticky cupboard . The kids loved the novelty factor , whilst the functionality made them enjoy breakfasts more independently and get out the door in time to catch the school bus . Claire and Lisa came with a boot full with storage solutions . As well as the fashionable iDesign cereal containers , seen in the Netflix show The Home Edit , the girls waxed lyrical about the wide range of economical options available at the likes of Home Bargains , B&M , Matalan and Ikea . Clear food containers and labels help keep a kitchen organised " We love having containers because you can see what you have and it means things do n't go out of date and you 're not spending @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was the tiered shelving which Lisa added into my dried food cupboard . It lets you clearly see what foods you have -- and realise you do n't need six tins of baked beans ... Tiered shelving can make a huge difference to food storage I love tea , but have been trying to cut back on the caffeine by drinking a variety of fruit and green teas . So , my favourite storage solution was the tea storage box the girls used , from B&M . It was like something you find in a hotel . Teas and coffees organised in a tasteful way When it came to decluttering some decisions were easy -- plastic cutlery , chipped cups , promotional plastic water bottles , grubby placemats , tarnished Tupperware and even a cardboard Peppa Pig cake stand . Other decisions proved more difficult , especially when sentimentality came into play -- a salt dough ornament made for Mother 's Day , the unused cheese board wedding present from a late aunt 15 years ago and those many gadgets I had been seduced into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unsightly boxed devices , which were gathering dust on the top of my fridge , out of view and out of their boxes , with their instruction manuals put in a folder . Although I knew they were taking up precious real estate in my kitchen , I really struggled to decide what to give away . In the end I managed to say goodbye to my little-used mini muffin maker and chocolate fondue set . Gazing into an organised cupboard certainly does , to borrow the phrase used by decluttering guru Marie Kondo , spark joy . Home from school , Jenny Lee 's children gaze with joy at their transformed snack drawer My kitchen is far from a minimalist kitchen , but it 's organised and hopefully it stays that way . " Endeavour to keep countertops free of unnecessary items to create a clean and inviting space . Waking up to a clean and organised space sets a positive tone to the day ahead , " adds Claire and Lisa , suggesting dedicating a little time before bedtime tidying the kitchen and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the prospect of decluttering they advise to " start small " targeting a specific drawer or even checking your expiry dates . The junk drawer , aka the drawer of shame , is still in need of decluttering and organisation My ' homework ' was to have a go myself at organising the as-yet-untouched junk drawer , which is home to everything that has nowhere to go -- from Blu Tack and batteries to screws and candles .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'get the most out of' as a phrasal verb with a different meaning unrelated to the transitive out of -ing construction.

The best PS5 controllers do n't offer as much choice when compared to competing consoles . However , what 's available for Sony 's machine is of superb quality and as time has passed , we 're beginning to see more options . While Sony itself offers high quality official gamepads , third-party controllers are also worth a look with their pro-level features like remappable buttons , trigger stops and swappable modules . Unlike most of the best PC controllers , Sony 's DualSense and DualSense Edge have an ace up their sleeves . They feature bespoke haptic feedback and adaptive triggers that you wo n't find elsewhere due to Sony 's ownership of the tech . Both offer unparalleled immersion on PS5 ( and some supported PC games ) , but that 's not to say other controllers are n't worth checking out , as many have features not present in Sony 's pads . Read on to learn all about what we consider to be the best PS5 controllers around . ? You want all the leading PS5 controller features : The DualSense features haptic feedback @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as the most advanced OEM pad on the market . Do n't buy it if ? You want a PS5 controller with good battery life : All the bells and whistles come at a price as the DualSense only averages around 4-8 hours on a single charge . The DualSense Wireless Controller takes the top spot as the best PS5 controller right now . It offers excellent build quality and features even higher-end alternatives do n't . We 've been using this particular controller now for over three years to great success because of the genuinely innovative inclusions of haptic feedback and adaptive triggers , which both first and third-party game developers are utilizing in exciting ways . Extra features aside , the DualSense is just an incredibly well-designed gamepad to have in your hands . A little curvier than the DualShock 4 that shipped with the PS4 , this makes for a controller that 's more comfortable to use for long play sessions . Every aspect of the controller , such as the face buttons , the D-pad , and those all-star triggers , feels @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ let down by the battery life . All these extra bells and whistles come at a cost : you can expect anywhere from four to eight hours of use between charges . We often found ourselves reaching for the included USB-C cable when going the distance in longer titles such as God of War Raganrok and Ghost of Tsushima . ? You want good value for money : With its steep asking price and worse battery life than the original , the DualSense Edge could be too expensive for some . While the DualSense Edge is only a slight improvement over the stock model , what 's offered here with this upgraded version is more likely to appeal to hardcore gamers . Priced at $199.99 / ? 209.99 / AU$339.95 , this gamepad is n't meant to replace the standard PS5 controller . The biggest upgrade with the DualSense Edge is in the build quality and aesthetic tweaks . It 's down to the redesigned triggers , touchpad , and slightly heavier chassis . It feels like a premium product while offering the extra functionality you should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cost of a standard DualSense . We particularly enjoyed the adjustable trigger stops , rear paddles , and function buttons which made a real difference in games like Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and Returnal . Depending on how you play on your PS5 , you 'll either notice these additions as game changers or nice extras . The one thing that the DualSense Edge does n't address is the battery life . You can expect anywhere from six to eight hours , depending on what features you 're using . We found that the controller averaged just over seven hours before going flat when utilizing everything that the Edge could do . Seeing as some PS5 controllers aimed at the Esports scene strip away core DualSense functionality and cost more than this , such as with the Razer Wolverine V2 Pro , we think this model is a good investment for those who will use it to its full potential . ? Modularity is essential for you : The Victrix Pro BFG features additional sticks , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has a ton of variety for competitive and casual play . Do n't buy it if ? You want to retain DualSense functionality : As with other third-party PS5 controllers , you wo n't find adaptive triggers or rumble of any kind on the Victrix Pro BFG . If you 're after a competitive edge in some of the more demanding PS5 games then you should strongly consider the Victrix Pro BFG controller . That 's because this gamepad features not only five different levels of trigger adjustments , four remappable back paddles , and multiple sticks and D-pads to choose from but also an entire fightpad module , too . Priced at $179.99 / ? 179.99 / AU$269 , the Victrix Pro BFG is considerably more expensive than the standard DualSense , yes , but it does significantly undercut the competition from other first and third-party offerings . A major strength of this PS5 controller that we found in our testing was the lengthy battery life , of which you can expect up to 20 hours , and the lightweight nature of the remote itself @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a 3m long braided USB-C cable just in case you want to bring it to all kinds of gaming tournaments with you . The trade-off here is that you 're forgoing the DualSense functionality all together . Now , this is n't just the case with the Victrix BFG Pro , as other officially licensed pads also are n't using adaptive triggers and haptic feedback . But keep in mind that everything has been stripped back here to prioritize low latency and responsive gaming over more immersive features from the stock PS5 controller . + Vastly customizable + Rear paddles work great + The grip is lovely - Battery life is n't improved - Premium price tag Buy it if ? You want a customized DualSense : The Scuf Reflex Pro uses the DualSense as a base and adds remappable paddles as extra buttons and a high-performance grip . You 're also able to customize every detail to your liking , too . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ feedback : While the Scuf Reflex Pro features adaptive triggers as standard , these can be swapped out for instant-click versions , it does n't have haptic feedback , instead just a basic rumble pack . The main attraction of the Scuf Reflex Pro is its customization options , where you can create unique color schemes for your controller with a simple-to-use design tool . You 're paying a pretty penny for the privilege , though . With prices starting at $219.99 / ? 219.99 ( roughly AU$315 ) , fine-tuning your pad does n't come cheap . Our review unit has a black and red color scheme with a complementing face plate and color-matched buttons , triggers , bumpers , and D-pad . There are over 25 pre-made designs to choose from and a vast array of color combinations should you want to take things in a different direction . The main thing that separates the standard Reflex from the Pro variant is the ' high-performance grip ' , which costs $19.99 / ? 19.99 ( approximately $AU38 ) to add to your controller . We found @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ feels substantially more supportive than the otherwise smooth finish of the DualSense 's chassis . The Scuf Reflex Pro retains everything that makes the PS5 DualSense special , the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers . You 're also getting remappable paddles , which you can use to free up your hands over the face buttons . Ultimately , we found these functions are ultimately secondary to the design customization . If you 've dreamed of having a particular color combo for your PS5 controller with the extra coin to spend , this is a great start . - Ca n't replace a DualSense like-for-like - Does n't come with enough button types for every button Buy it if ? You have accessibility needs that require something extra : With an array of implementations , button types , use cases , and flexibility on offer , the PlayStation Access controller will open doors or should you need something extra in accessibility , be it small changes or large-scale overhauls . Do n't buy it if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accessibility controller : Given that one Access controller can not , sadly , replace one DualSense controller wholesale , it does n't represent a complete solution in a single unit . You can , however , add a second Access controller to achieve this but that increases the cost . Previously known as Project Leonardo , the PlayStation Access controller marks Sony 's first official foray into the realm of accessibility-friendly gamepads . The result is a controller that 's potentially more accommodating to disabled players than the standard DualSense Wireless Controller . And it comes packed with a range of modules including sets of buttons and tags to help aid players that may require more specific tools . Coming in at $89.99 / ? 79.99 , the PlayStation Access is unfortunately more expensive than the DualSense . This represents a bit more of a barrier to entry for those on a budget ; especially so if you require two Access controllers during play . Overall , though , we 're happy that Sony has created the Access controller . Many of its first-party games are also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we appreciated the sheer versatility offered by the Access , as well as its high-quality modules and fantastically-designed joystick . + Excellent feeling buttons + Robust build quality + Comfortable on lap and table - A little bulky - Availability is spotty right now Buy it if ? You want an arcade-quality experience : The Nacon Daija is about as close to arcade-level fighting game sticks as you can get for the price . It 's perfect for wanting authenticity in the likes of Street Fighter , Mortal Kombat , and Tekken . Do n't buy it if ? You want something lighter : While the Nacon Daija absolutely nails the feel of an authentic arcade setup , it does also happen to be one of the heaviest PS5 fight sticks available . If you 're looking at a new PS5 controller to get the most out of fighting games , then you should look past a traditional gamepad . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stick . We were continuously impressed with the build quality , the parts used , and the overall responsiveness when battling it out in titles such as Guilty Gear Strive and Tekken 7 . It 's not cheap , though : the Daija currently retails for around $292 / ? 240 from its ? 279.90 cited MSRP . The Nacon Daija is a controller , with a good amount of heft and size , making it stable when the fighting gets intense . We found the Daija comfortable whether used on the lap or a table . What 's particularly great about this controller is you can open it up to make repairs or any upgrades to the buttons , switches , and stick if required . Given that you 're getting top-of-the-line Sanwa-Denshi parts here , we never saw the immediate need to swap these out . While primarily marketed at the fighting game community , the Nacon Daija is also a superstar for your arcade games . We particularly enjoyed run-throughs of titles such as Streets of Rage 4 , Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Shredders @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tag , it 's certainly an investment , but if you want to take on the latest and greatest fighting games with superior input control than a gamepad , then we think it 's worth a shot . Only two of the best PS5 controllers feature Sony 's bespoke haptic feedback and adaptive trigger technology ; those being its official DualSense and DualSense Edge gamepads . This already makes the pair worthy of being in this list , thanks to the high quality of these features paired with the high level of comfort and build quality they provide . When looking elsewhere , we make sure to test the best PS5 controllers on more traditional factors . These include build quality , features that are useful during gameplay ( such as remappable buttons or swappable modules ) or if they 're particularly well-suited to one or two specific genres , as you can see with the Nacon Daija above . Price is also a huge consideration here . And while there are n't a great deal of budget picks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pricier than third-party offerings on Xbox and Switch ) , we 've endeavored to cover as broad a price spectrum as possible while still ensuring each pick meets our quality standard . Between Sony 's official offerings , the DualSense Edge is undoubtedly the best , with a premium finish and extras like custom profile creation , button and macro assignments and a handy on-controller profile switch feature . As it 's incredibly expensive , though , you may wish to consider the standard DualSense controller , which shares features like haptic feedback and adaptive triggers . Both the DualSense and DualSense Edge lack Hall-sensing analog sticks , meaning both risk stick drift over longer periods of time . To combat this , you may wish to purchase a controller like the Victrix Pro BFG . While these do n't come with Hall effect sticks by default , manufacturer PDP sells these modules separately on its website .

This article contains spoilers for Star Wars : The Acolyte through episode 3 . We 're heading somewhere new in the galaxy far , far away as Leslye Headland'sThe Acolyte takes fans to the High Republic era . Taking place 100 years before the events of The Phantom Menace , this is arguably the most accessible Disney+ series for those who are new to the world ofStar Wars . Still , it looks like The Acolyte could be hiding a major connection to the sequel trilogy , and in particular , Star Wars : Episode IX -- The Rise of Skywalker . The focus of The Acolyte are twins Mae and Osha Aniseya , played in a dual role by Amandla Stenberg . Lost twins are a recurring theme in Star Wars , with the original trilogy 's Luke and Leia being the most notable example . However , unlike Luke and Leia , The Acolyte suggests Mae and Osha share an even stronger bond in the form of a Force dyad . First introduced in The Force Awakens when Kylo Ren ( Adam Driver ) probed the mind of Rey ( Daisy Ridley ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from Jakku . As the sequel trilogy progressed , we saw Kylo Ren and Rey able to communicate telepathically across the vastness of space . It was only referred to as a Force dyad in The Rise of Skywalker , with Sheev Palpatine ( Ian McDiarmid ) explaining , " The life force of your bond ... a dyad in the Force . A power like life itself . Unseen for generations . " There 's never been any confirmation of which Force dyad Palpatine was referring to , but with The Acolyte taking place generations before Episode IX , the timelines neatly align . Ad Ad -- content continues below Force dyads are an important part of Sith lore , with the 2021 book Star Wars : Secrets of the Sith confirming the Doctrine of the Dyad was etched onto the walls of Exegol 's Sith Citadel . We know this prophesied dyad was Kylo Ren/Ben Solo and Rey 's one that toppled the Sith , however , it was n't the only one . Remembering how Headland told StarWars.com that The Acolyte would adapt elements @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Errant novel could give us another possible origin for Mae and Osha 's powers . The book explored the Sith twins of Quillan and Dromika , who were " separated in body , but conjoined through the Force . " As " no power in science or Sith alchemy could separate " Quillan and Dromika , the sisters could mean big things for Star Wars canon . There 's a suggestion that Mae and Osha are n't as strong as Kylo Ren and Rey yet , as both seemed unaware of the other 's survival . Osha only realised Mae was alive when she was visited by a Force-based manifestation on the planet Carlac , while it was up to Lee Jung-jae 's Jedi Master Sol to reveal to Mae that Osha was alive . Like Kylo and Rey 's bond grew ( with them being able to pull physical objects through a void ) , Osha and Mae 's potential Force dyad is tipped to grow now they both know they 're alive . The connection between Osha and Mae is further hammered home in episode 3 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flashback to Brendok 16 years earlier , the twins utter : " You are with me , I am with you . Always one , but born as two . As above sits the stars and below lies the sea , I give you you , and you give me me . " This ties into the contrasting logo of orange and blue , with one seemingly referring to the stars and the other the sea . It also represents the opposing sides of the Force and the balance that Luke tells Rey about in The Last Jedi . The episode also features the twins undergoing ' The Ascension ' , with the coven uttering , " The power of one , the power of two , the power of many . " Unfortunately , it 's interrupted by Sol and the other Jedi before Osha is tied to Mae , which could be why their Force dyad is n't yet complete . As for what a Force dyad could mean for The Acolyte , we know it does n't do much to the Sith . With The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ era , and the Fall of the Jedi coming next , it 's not looking good for Master Sol and the rest of the Jedi Council . Also , we know witchcraft played a part in the twins being raised by Mother Aniseya ( Jodie Turner-Smith and Mother Koril ( Margarita Levieva ) . Over on Reddit u/LordTaco123 suggested that Osha and Mae are a ' perversion ' of a Force dyad , with the latter perishing in the fire on Brendok and being resurrected by magic . Episode 3 suggests this is n't the case , with Mae being seen alive and well at the end of the episode under the Bunta tree . Stil , the ' perversion ' part could be their immaculate conception between Mother Koril and Mother Aniseya . Ad Ad -- content continues below Either way , we 've seen what the power of a Force dyad can do . Darth Plagueis tried to create a failed Force dyad with Palpatine as his Sith apprentice , and with Palpatine then trying to do the same with Vader , we 're @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all , there are swirling theories that Plagueis himself could be hiding in The Acolyte .

The opening of the vault door is the most iconic image in Fallout -- a Biblical rolling back of the stone that signifies rebirth into the changed world outside . Typically , though , the door stays on its hinges . It is n't usually blasted across 100 miles of West Virginian sky at high velocity , like the cap from a shaken-up bottle of Nuka-Cola . When the flying door finally comes in to land , it 's far from home . Like a steel meteor , it has plowed into the Interstate 59 near Flatwoods , searing a deep gouge into the road from south to north . Approaching on foot , we see two yellow digits -- a six and a three -- still emblazoned in nuke-proof paint on its front . Since the popping of a new vault is always a cause for celebration , whatever the circumstances , we trace the door back to its origin point , deep into the southernmost part of the map . There , we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and explore the surrounding Skyline Valley . Summer Games PreviewWe are diving deep into the hottest upcoming games of the year and beyond . To find all of our coverage , visit GamesRadar 's What 's Hot 2024 hub . This significant area expansion is the first of its kind to come to Fallout 76 , which has previously sent players out of state to see new places via vertibird , from Pittsburgh to Atlantic City . Released today , the Skyline Valley update adds around 20 new points of interest and 12 new quests to an open world that was already enormous by Bethesda RPG standards . While the game 's friendliest regions are generally found further north , Skyline Valley is an exception , designed to be viable no matter what level your character is . In fact , Skyline Valley 's story seems perfectly tuned to satisfy newcomers obsessed with the Vault-Tec machinations of the Amazon TV show . The main quest puts you in direct contact with a Vault-Tec board member : one Hugo Stolz , the ghoul @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . A rare central European in Fallout 's world , he made his fortune pre-war in the exports business , and ordered the building of a vault directly beneath his manor home . Yet its construction was so ambitious that Vault 63 was unfinished when the bombs fell ; exposed to the unfiltered air , the vault dwellers who survived became ghouls . You might think living through a parable of greed and ambition might give a man pause , but not Stolz . The vault 's experiments in weather control have since wreaked further havoc in the region , stirring the sky above Shenandoah National Park into a swirling , angry vortex , and turning many of the surviving residents into electrified hostiles , fizzing with an incurable madness . ( Image credit : Bethesda ) In the aftermath , Stolz solicits your help , looking at you as a kind of living R&D project . His optimism and curiosity are infectious , even when the consequences of his mistakes are written across his fractured face -- which appears to crackle with a barely-contained charge . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conclusions about Stolz , and ultimately to befriend or betray him as you see fit . The aforementioned vortex makes the central portion of Skyline Valley somewhat oppressive to explore , as I discovered in a preview session . As I zipped above the broken earth in a jetpack on my way to Stolz manor , I was struck by a bolt of lightning , instantly contracting radworms . Not the souvenir you might hope to bring home from a national park visit . But as I pushed outward from the eye of the storm , Shenandoah became more welcoming and recognisable as a beauty spot .

I particularly enjoyed poking around the Slumber Mill Motel , which features an enormous rooftop lumberjack mascot , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the words ' NOTHING IS REAL ' on the storage room wall , others have chimed in with eye-rolling commentary -- and one note even offers a cap reward for hunting down the tedious edgelord responsible . ( Image credit : Bethesda ) Skyline Valley 's story seems perfectly tuned to satisfy newcomers obsessed with the Vault-Tec machinations of the Amazon TV show . The Skyline Valley update lands right as a clutch of low-level players will be finding their feet in West Virginia , having been turned onto Fallout 76 and its single-player counterparts by the Amazon show . " They 've always been really popular games , " creative director Jon Rush says . " What the show has done is cast this turbocharged light on it , so now it 's become a cultural phenomenon in its own right . We anticipated more folks coming in , and we were right . Folks came back and they were like , ' This place looks completely different . This is cool . ' " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Fallout 76 in 2018 . Back then , the open world was empty of NPCs . While Rush points out that there were still characters , represented by robots or speaking through holotapes , the initial launch saw not a living soul remaining in West Virginia . In response to that early feedback , the development team diligently transformed Fallout 76 into something more closely resembling a traditional Fallout game . Today , it 's a unique hybrid of survival shooter , cooperative construction sim , and conversational RPG . It would be easy to credit the Amazon show with re-energizing Fallout 76 . But really , it was both healthy and popular before the TV phenomenon came along -- no longer a struggling MMO , but a game that was already meeting the wants of its community . " Over six years , all that work , we know it 's been awesome and it 's been fun , " Rush says . ( Image credit : Bethesda ) Evidently , though , Bethesda is ready to capitalize on the sudden boost to its playerbase @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is making " smarter decisions that affect the game more broadly , rather than decisions that are focused on small things that take up a ton of time . " Skyline Valley is a result of that kind of thinking , not only bringing new exploration opportunities to the game , but lots of potential building sites for campers too . Beyond the new quests , Bethesda has more plans for Skyline Valley coming this Fall . With the Milepost Zero update , you 'll be able to join the Blue Ridge Caravan Company as a guard . In that role , you 'll protect Brahmin and the goods they 're carrying from attacks along the trade routes of Skyline Drive . " What 's great about these is they do n't take a lot of time , " Rush says . " It 's something that can be done in between events while you 're waiting . And it does open the door for a lot of those random elements . " If you 've ever traveled with a caravan between camps in Fallout 4 , you 'll @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out in the wilderness . What 's more , as Rush points out , " it 's so thematic to Fallout . Caravaning has been in Fallout since Fallout 1 . " Successfully running missions will see you unlock a caravan outpost of your own .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'take the awkwardness out of everything' does not involve a causee participating in an event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate.

Gemma Yallop is on a mission to remove the awkwardness from hair appointments ( Image : Gemma Yallop ) A hairdresser in Swindon has launched her own ' silent appointments ' for socially awkward customers who would rather skip the chit-chat . Not only are hairdressers trained in hair , but many of them are also the masters of small talk , having to repeat the same ' going anywhere nice on holiday ? ' question multiple times a day . But according to Gemma Yallop from Red 's Hairdressing , this can put a lot of customers off coming to the salon , particularly those who struggle with social interaction . That 's exactly why she 's transformed her chair inside Platinum Hair Salon in Gorse Hill into a safe place for customers who can opt out of the small talk . Gemma is one of the only hairdressers in Swindon offering the option to switch off the chitchat . ( Image : Gemma Yallop ) " In my personal experience growing up , I would always hate sitting there and having @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my book " she told the Swindon Advertiser . " I also have a lot of customers with autism , ADHD or mental health struggles , so I want to make sure my chair at the salon was a safe and inclusive space . " I do a lot of colourful , vivid hair and so I want people to be able to express themselves through their hair if they lack confidence in their speech . " Not only can customers pre-book a silent appointment , but Gemma has also set up miniature boards on her mirror with the words ' chill ' on one side and ' chat ' on the other so customers can indicate their preference or even switch between the two . Gemma hopes to help those who are n't confident with social interaction to feel confident in their hair . ( Image : Gemma Yallop ) " It can be nice as it gives me a chance to chill out a bit as well and focus entirely on the hair . Not many people realise it can get overwhelming for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " I pride myself on making sure that everybody 's welcome . I have a gender-neutral pricing list and I just take the awkwardness out of everything . " Currently , the inclusive hairdresser rents a chair in Red 's salon and is only able to offer silent appointments on Wednesdays , but Gemma hopes that this could one day expand . " The goal is to have my salon so I can offer this all the time , and I would encourage other salons to do it , " she said . " So many people avoid going to the hair salon because of the small talk , and it 's so important to make everyone feel comfortable and welcomed .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'backed out of confessing' involves an intransitive verb 'backed' with no NP object, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence 'Having been tricked out of going to court' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Here, 'tricked' is the V1, and 'going to court' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. The interpretation is prevention, as the act of tricking prevented someone from going to court. The NP object is implied (the person who was tricked), and the NP subject is also implied (the one who did the tricking). This aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Coronation Street fans think they have spotted a couple of blunders that could help Toyah Batterby 's case as she faces crippling court fees amid backlash from the Institute . As viewers of the ITV soap know , the character has been railing against the Institute due to her sister Leanne 's involvement . Earlier this week , Toyah was seen sharing a kiss with Nick Tilsley as they bond over their struggles at getting partner and sister Leanne to see any wrong in mentor Rownan Cunliffe and the Institute , particularly following the recent discovery that she 's been talking to an AI version of her late son , Oliver , as provided to her by the group . During Wednesday night 's trip to the cobbles , viewers saw Leanne return home after spending the night away from Nick after he issued an ultimatum , saying she must choose between her family and the Institute . Leanne was quickly questioned over the nature of her relationship with Rown but she insisted she would never be unfaithful to Nick , making him feel more guilty for kissing Toyah , with the pair later agreeing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Nick and Toyah were soon left furious when Leanne walked out on a busy lunch service at the Bistro because Rowan turned up with something to show her . Rowan took Leanne to a hotel where he was joined by The Institute 's CEO Willow who revealed that Leanne would soon be allowed to recruit new members to the group . Meanwhile , Toyah was preparing for a court appearance in her legal case against The Institute when she received a phone call saying that Leanne had been injured in a motorbike crash . Without a second thought , Toyah rushed to Weatherfield General but was confused to be told that there was no record of Leanne being checked in at the hospital . Toyah rushed to the hospital to find Leanne ( Image : ITV ) But it was quickly clear it was all a ruse and at the same time , Leanne was seen attend the court hearing by Rowan 's side after being convinced to go with him . Having been tricked out of going to court , the judge granted The Institute an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fees for being late to the hearing . Later , Towan offered to make a deal with Toyah , saying that The Institute would drop the case against her provided she signed a non-disclosure agreement ( NDA ) and never publicly criticised the group again . But after Toyah had noticed a sinister man watching her from his car on more than one occasion during the day , she approached the car to ask why the man was following her , only for the driver to speed off without offering her any answers . " It 's them , they 're trying to intimidate me , " Toyah said : " I do n't know how much more of this I can take ... It 's worked . I am done now . I 'll sign their rotten NDA . " Toyah was given a hefty bill Corrie fans , however , think there were a number of things Toyah could have done to help her case . @chiefbanker asked : " Why ca n't Toyah ask the receptionist at the hospital to verify the fact @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ asking about Leanne ? #corrie .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'opt out of' which is a phrasal verb followed by a gerund phrase, but lacks the necessary NP object and does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction's criteria for movement/extraction or prevention interpretations.

The sentence 'we both chickened out of trying just in case one of us passed out at the football' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Here, 'we' is the NP subject, 'chickened' is V1, 'both' is the NP object (though it's a reciprocal pronoun, it functions similarly to a reflexive in being coreferential with the subject), and 'trying' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. The interpretation is prevention ('we prevented ourselves from trying'), which aligns with one of the interpretation types of the construction. The verb 'chickened' can be categorized under means to achieve a goal by arousing fear or hesitation, fitting the semantic classification of verbs in this construction.

If you walk through the Bullring , you may well see the signage . Slapped all over the sides of the escalators over on the M&S side are signs that claim ' Birmingham 's best burrito ' is in walking distance of that very spot . So before we went round to Toca Social , that new football bar where Debenhams used to be , we popped in to test Zambrero 's big claim . Standing looking at the menu , in a restaurant of no customers but us , I feel a sense of de ja vu . There was a burrito gaff in this location years ago , as I recall . Mission , perhaps ? A failed mission , clearly . The Indian Streatery had taken over and now , Zambrero was slinging its wraps , just like it does round on Colmore Row . The menu is pretty basic , really . Chicken breast , barbacoa beef or chilli ' zin ' carne soy mince served in regular burritos , a toasted version , in bowls or tacos . There 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ went for the veggie option while Harry ordered beef , toasted . Watching him eat it was like watching someone who has just arrived on earth try to eat a burrito , but I 'll circle back to that . The service , I have to say , was exceptional . The gent serving was friendly and welcoming , helpful and knowledgeable , telling us how they donate a meal to someone in need every time you buy a bowl or a burrito . Options at the counter ( Image : Kirsty Bosley ) There 's a counter on the wall , showing how many that 's amounted to as the brand pushes for a billion . Wild . The fact the guy serving did n't know us from any other customers but still wanted to talk about it really struck me as noteworthy . The customisation level of the burritos is pretty standard . White or black rice ( black , for my grown up goth aesthetic , please ) , black beans or pinto ( black again , obviously ) , salad , onions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chipotle , verde or a red chilli one we both chickened out of trying just in case one of us passed out at the football . We both had guac for an extra quid because it 's the law . I ate mine contemplatively while Harry 's spilled out all over the place as though he 'd just hunted it down in a forest after two weeks of not eating anything at all . He really enjoyed the beef , but not as much as I enjoyed watching him eat it . Zambrero at the Bullring ( Image : Kirsty Bosley ) My own was OK , not as drippy but pretty generously filled . I grabbed a bag of nachos , salted and crisp , to scoop out of some of the insides and it made for a salty mouthful . It needed a little more creaminess , we agreed . There was n't enough sour cream to cut through the salt . The rice , cooked in spices and stock , was savoury , as were the beans , also cooked in spice . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ finished and , to fill the gap before heading back inside the Bullring to go to the bar ? It did the job . To call it Birmingham 's best burrito though ? Well , that 's about as reliable as the Bullring escalators it 's advertised on . When you 've got Habanero up at Great Western Arcade dishing out those chunky , flavour-filled perfectly balanced wraps so big and delicious and wonderful ? Never in a million does it come close . Maybe Zambrero should change its advertisement to ' NOT THE WORST BURRITO IN BIRMINGHAM ' instead . If you do n't fancy a wander up to that wicked little independent near Snow Hill Station ? Zambrero 's the place for you . This review was conducted at random , anonymously and food and drink was paid for by the reporter .

' Glasgow needs MPs that will be influencing the Government from within ' ( Image : Newsquest ) Seven years ago this week , I was first elected to Parliament . Having the opportunity to serve this magnificent city in both of our Parliaments has been the greatest honour of my life , but it has been an experience tempered by frustration at being stuck in opposition , rather than having the opportunity to serve Glasgow in government . So , when the Prime Minister finally called the election on that dreich afternoon last month , I heaved a sigh of relief -- like many Glaswegians -- as the opportunity to kick this rotten Tory government out of Downing Street had finally arrived . For 14 long years , the Tories have neglected Glasgow , as they always have when in power . They have driven down our living standards -- plunging thousands of our neighbours into poverty and deprivation . While Glaswegians played by the rules @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Covid-19 , they were partying in Downing Street . When I entered the House of Commons in June 2017 , I was the only Labour MP representing Glasgow , and it quickly became apparent to me that the six SNP MPs for Glasgow were more interested in shouting from the side-lines at the expense of almost everything else . Under their watch , Glasgow has been devoid of dynamic leadership at Westminster working to improve things in the city and to advocate for its interests . Just take Brexit as one example , the biggest issue facing the last Parliament . While I voted for the UK to stay in the Customs Union , Glasgow 's SNP MPs abstained , meaning it fell short by only three votes . Despite all the pro-European rhetoric , when it really mattered , they were missing in action and Glaswegians have paid a high price for their grandstanding . Glasgow needs MPs that will be influencing the government from within , taking their concerns to the heart of Whitehall -- not protesting and pontificating . Across Glasgow , in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ real champions for their city on July 4 . In Glasgow South West , Dr Zubir Ahmed will make a tremendous Member of Parliament -- the son of a taxi driver who defied all the odds to be the first in his family to go to university and become a transplant surgeon . Maureen Burke in Glasgow North East has lived in the constituency her whole life and has represented it as an Easterhouse councillor for over a decade -- she will be a true working-class champion for Glaswegians , from working as a packer in a tie factory to representing our city in the House of Commons . From day one in Parliament , both will be working to deliver Labour 's policies that will reverse the economic decline that the Tories have presided over and unleash the economic potential of our country . Too many Glaswegians are struggling to get by , living pay slip to pay slip . A Labour government will deliver a New Deal for Working People that will ensure a genuine living wage and ban exploitative zero-hour contracts . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ opportunity to have their own home . Renting or buying a property is increasingly unaffordable as rents and house prices rise far above flatlining average wages , with average rents in Glasgow alone rising over 50% since 2010 . Labour will emulate the legacy of the first Labour government of 1924 by massively increasing housing supply , with the mission of building 1.5 million new homes across the country within five years .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'pull out of' in a different context, referring to withdrawing from an event, not causing someone to move or preventing someone from doing something. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Additionally, it does not exhibit either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'pull out of Trooping the Colour' involves an intransitive verb 'pull' with no NP object and does not involve a causee participating in an event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate.

In 2018 , Monster Hunter World catapulted Capcom 's action role-playing series from something your pal promised was good if you would just play it for 40 hours , to a widely-celebrated powerhouse . Follow-up Monster Hunter Rise won over even more fans , and both titles are now Capcom 's top-selling games of all time . Now , the Japanese developer is set to launch Monster Hunter Wilds , which we got to see director Yuya Tokuda play at Summer Game Fest -- and despite not getting the chance to play it ourselves , we walked away feeling like it was the best thing we 'd seen at the event . First thing 's first : Monster Hunter Wilds is not an open world game . The instanced open areas seen in past Monster Hunter titles , in which you explore and hunt increasingly dangerous monsters , are back . Our demo took place in the Windward Plains ( the desert area from Wilds ' trailers ) and right away the upgrades are evident . Each zone has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the field from the village , rather than going back to a central hub and loading in like in previous entries . This also goes for starting missions , which kick off as soon as you begin fighting the given monster , instead of when you load in and start looking for it . Once the target 's dead , you 're now immediately let back into the world , cutting out the awkward minute you need to wait through in previous games . Monster Hunter Wilds . Credit : Capcom . Unsurprisingly given the game is running in the RE Engine , Monster Hunter Wilds looks phenomenal . This was particularly clear during a demonstration of Wilds ' biggest new feature , weather . Each area has its own ecosystem , endemic life and , of course , monsters that call it home , but in Wilds the map changes as you explore . We watched as Windward Plains ' sandy dunes were engulfed with a sandstorm , followed by a thunderstorm which brought the area 's ( currently unnamed ) Apex Monster out into the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the plains , and carnivores came out of hiding . This mechanic is one of the things that excited us the most , as the feature will likely keep you on your toes and can throw a mission into disarray . Advertisement Of course , the monsters themselves are still the star of the show . The demo consisted of the hunter tracking down and battling the Alpha Doshaguma . This particular beast shows off another interesting update to the series ' formula -- large monsters can roam around in packs , while others , like the serpentine Balahara , can create traps in the world to catch you or other monsters ( like the aforementioned pack of Doshaguma ) . It means a given hunt may require more tactical thinking , lest you get overwhelmed . Monster Hunter Wilds . Credit : Capcom . Elsewhere , Wilds takes a page from Rise 's Palamutes with the new Seikret mount , a big bird creature that will be a companion to you and your Palico . You can use them to get around faster and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these creatures is the added ability to swap weapons . Seikrets can store a second weapon for the hunter , allowing you to change on the fly to match your current predicament . This is open to any combo you would like -- the obvious choice being a close range weapon and a Bowgun -- but yes , you can presumably carry two Hammers if that 's what you really want . As for combat , we 're back to the series ' weighty hack-and-slash style instead of Rise 's over the top Wirebug and Switch Skills . However , the new mechanic this time around is Focus Mode . This allows you to aim your weapon ( even melee ones ) and hit wounded areas to deal a highly damaging attack , while a Clash mechanic lets your character overpower the monster . For the latter , we see a pretty brutal demonstration when one hunter uses the Heavy Bowgun to blast a shell into an unfortunate Doshaguma 's mouth . Neither feature seems to be as overwhelming as the ones we saw in Rise , instead allowing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a hunt . Yet with Monster Hunter 's rise in popularity , it feels like we 've lost some emphasis on the traditional hunting aspect , with things like tracking made easier in recent entries . While it 's hard to tell from the demo , Wilds seems like a step back in the right direction . Tying in with the weather and time mechanics , there are some monsters that will only show up in specific stages of the world -- like the Apex , which is only supposed to appear during lightning storms . That being said , the actual hunting may be relegated to the free-roaming areas as opposed to the missions themselves , as they now kick off when you first encounter the monster . Hands-off demos at shows like these are rarely as exciting as getting to play it yourself , which speaks to just how impressive Monster Hunter Wilds looks in action . The series ' ascension to superstardom has been incredible to watch as long-time fans of the series , and Wilds looks like it could raise its prestige to even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ |

It has now been announced that following these protests , Barclays will no longer be supporting some of the major UK festivals this summer . A spokesperson from Live Nation told Metro.co.uk : ' Following discussion with artists , we have agreed with Barclays that they will step back from sponsorship of our festivals .

The Irish singer said on social media in May : ' I am very sorry to announce that I am officially pulling out of playing the main stage of Latitude Festival 2024 . ' You may or may not be aware , but Latitude 's main sponsor is Barclay 's bank , who have been revealed to have increased their financing of various companies who are supplying weapons and military technology to Israel .

' The defence sector is fundamental to our national security and the UK government has been clear that supporting defence companies is compatible with ESG considerations . Decisions on the implementation of arms embargos to other nations are the job of respective elected governments . ' Activist groups have said Live Nation 's decision to ask Barclays to step down as a sponsor is a ' victory ' . The protest group Bands Boycott Barclays told The Guardian : ' This is a victory for the Palestinian-led global BDS movement .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object between the verb 'takes' and 'out of starting over'. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the construction. Instead, 'the sting out of starting over' seems to be an idiomatic expression where 'out of' is part of a prepositional phrase modifying 'the sting', not introducing a VP[-ing] predicate with a causee.

You know in Spelunky when you spend a little too long on a level and a nearly invulnerable ghost that can instakill you appears and slowly chases you to the exit ? There 's something like that in dungeon-crawling roguelike Lucky Tower Ultimate , only it 's a naked purple dude with a giant hammer . And he 's not slow or subtle : he sprints right at you , screaming at the top of his lungs . He also does n't wait for you to spend too much time on a level : I 've had him hammer me the second I opened the door to his room .

Drop down a level and you 'll find three doors . Pick one , step through it , and see out what 's on the other side , which can be anything from monsters to traps to a huge blue ogre who wants to play the shell game using a human tooth . As you travel deeper into the tower and closer to freedom , you 'll find weapons and gear , potions and power-ups , and once in a while a companion or two who will follow and fight for you . You can sometimes even make them open the next mystery to see what happens . Quite often , they die horribly ! Usually , you do too . The awkwardness of Lucky Tower @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of your two hands ( sometimes you can find a little bag to keep coins in , but that 's about it ) so you have to constantly juggle weapons and other items , and you 'll wind up leaving most of what you find behind .

I 've eaten a lot of dead frogs and dead mice and goblin eyeballs , and once I accidentally hurled a corpse at a neutral creature I was trying to speak to , which resulted in him getting enraged and punching me to death .

The duo -- comprised of frontman and bassist Mike Kerr and drummer Ben Thatcher -- caught up with NME at this year 's edition of the festival , shortly before they took to the main stage for a career-spanning set . Not only did the slot mark their first time back at the festival in a decade , it also came as the two are ready to play some intimate London shows , celebrating the 10th anniversary of their self-titled debut album . In the conversation , the duo told NME about what it was like to look back at their debut album this far down the line , and how they perceive it now compared to their latest release , 2023 's ' Back To The Water Below ' . They also recall their time on the road and growing friendship with Queens Of The Stone Age , who they first joined forces with back in 2017 and recently joined on the road earlier this year , as they toured across the US .

" Has your perception of the album changed now compared to when you first shared it ? Advertisement M.K : " I think the album feels very similar to how it did back then to be honest . But it 's everything around it that 's changed very dramatically . I think going from the age of 22 and moving a decade on , that 's a transformative time in any human being 's life anyway ! Let alone to be in this band and to have been on the road since the beginning . It 's weird seeing how so much has changed , but when it comes to the music , nothing has . " What 's it like to revisit the debut not long after releasing ' Back To The Water Below ' ?

I just hope we can look back at this one a decade on and feel the same way as we do now about the debut . " B.T : " We 're going to be playing every single tune of the first record , but we 're also going to be playing other tunes off other records .

Blanchett in The Lord of the Rings : The Fellowship of the Ring in 2001Credit : Alamy The Australian actress , 54 , and her husband Andrew Upton bought and demolished a former cottage in Mawgan Porth in 2020 to make way for their five-bedroom eco-home . As a result , she was accused of damaging a sensitive coastal wildlife habitat and of making a " blatant land grab " after purchasing a neighbouring field to use for a drive and car parking and of having a " total disregard " for neighbours with the renovations . Land Registry records show that the couple bought the former cottage for ? 1.6million , and then shelled out ? 1.25million a year later for the adjoining field . Cate was seeking to turn the field , which is being used as a construction compound during works , into a new access and parking area which would give level access to the pad , saving her and her guests from trekking up steps to the front . " Never before in the bay have we ever experienced such a blatant disregard for the people who flock @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ during the holiday season . " We thought the work was finally over and now there is a new application for ground works . This work should NOT be permitted during the holiday season . Shakira and Cate Blanchett speak to Prince William about their passion for the environment and the importance of The Earthshot Prize " I expect the Council to severely restrict the days in which this work can take place , if indeed it is ever approved . " However , a spokesperson for Watershedd - the architect firm behind Cate 's build - denied her claims and said the noise is coming from other nearby developments . A spokesman said : " She can not be referring to our clients ' property where there were no noisy works during the peak holiday period last year , once again , our clients ' property has been mistaken for other works going on in Mawgan Porth . " The firm added that it has been in regular communication with neighbours to lessen any concerns around construction noise and answer any questions . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ green grasscrete surface to blend in with the landscape with a turning head , retaining stone wall and native planting .

Gordon 's issues with Cornwall started in 2020 when he , wife Tana and their five kids upped sticks from London to live in their ? 4million holiday home . They made the 246 mile trip when people could be fined for any non-essential travel and were urged not to stay in their second homes . He was called " disgusting " and accused of " flouting government rules " by one local , despite the star insisting he had done nothing wrong at the time . They raged : " Do n't you realise that by doing that you 've possibly brought the virus with you and because Cornwall is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get sick you will place yet more strain on an already fragile infrastructure . " I 'm reporting you to the police . What you 've done is against the law and I hope they force you back to London . " The furore led Gordon to say he hates the Cornish people . Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan Mark and Michelle are happily living inside their ? 3.5million dream Essex home but the process was n't without its hiccups . They had to amend plans along the way and , to their credit , dealt with all the setbacks in the right manner . Planning documents said : " This new amended application further increases the size of the dwelling , and the Parish Council feels that these proposed changes increase the size of the dwelling over the original dwelling size to such a degree that it would , for reasons of its bulk and size , now represent an unacceptable increase and as such have a detrimental impact on the green belt .

The couple -- who purchased the property in 2011 - revealed they wanted to add a first floor side and front extension to the huge six-bedroom home . Their original plans , which included other alterations , were rejected by the local council - but they were later granted permission . Locals were unimpressed by the TV favourite 's renovations and neighbour Liliana Velez slammed the move .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'takes the stress out of portioning your supplements' does not involve a causee NP object participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'out of' in a different sense, indicating removal or alleviation of stress from an activity, which does not align with the defined construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. While it includes 'out of' followed by a gerund ('creating'), the verb 'cut' does not clearly indicate a means to achieve a goal as required by the construction's properties. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations typical of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The film first hit cinemas in 1999 and follows the fictional story of three student filmmakers -- played by Heather Donahue , Michael C. Williams and Joshua Leonard -- who venture into the woods in Maryland and film a documentary about the Blair Witch . In the film , written and directed by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo S ? nchez , the three students are never seen again , but their camera equipment is , and the footage found makes up the film . Premiering at the Sundance Film Festival in 1999 , the 81-minute production was quickly picked up by Artisan Entertainment for $1.1m ( ? 870,000 ) and went on to gross $248m ( ? 195.9m ) worldwide . Two sequels , one in 2016 and another currently in production , followed . Now , 25 years after its release , Donahue , Williams , and Leonard claimed in a recent interview with Variety that despite creating one of horror 's most well-known classics , they are yet to see the rewards of their work .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. While it includes 'out of' followed by a verb in the -ing form ('creating'), the subject 'We' is not causing an object to move out of or preventing an object from participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, the sentence describes a passive state where 'we' are being excluded from something, without the causative or preventive interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

It comes just days after he announced ' Soldier In The Army Of Love ' , the forthcoming first single from his first-ever solo rock album . Set for release on June 28 , the track sees the metal icon join forces with his 13-year-old son Roman , and channel the rock in its purest form . " It was an electric affair . It 's such a historic ballroom and I think we put one on the books there , " he told us . " It was really awesome , playing songs from across a 22-album career . We had tracks from Rage Against the Machine , Audioslave , Prophets of Rage , The Nightwatchman , ' Atlas Underground ' , Bruce Springsteen ... The roof came off the place . It was a pretty special night . " In the interview below , he opens up to us about what it was like to collaborate with his son on the new track , the difference between being a solo artist and working in a band , and what he thinks makes a protest song great . NME : Hi Tom @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tom Morello : " Here at Download today it is metal , it is muddy and it is magnificent . " Tell us about your upcoming song , ' Soldier In The Army Of Love ' . " So my new single , ' Soldier In The Army Of Love ' is the first song from what will be my first ever solo rock album . It 's a collaboration with my 13-year-old son , Roman . During the pandemic , while the rest of us were baking bread and trying to learn a language , he was practising guitar for eight hours a day . I 've been relegated to being the rhythm guitar player in my family as I have a shredding prodigy now who 's really giving me a run for my money . One day I was walking by his room and these huge drop-D riffs were coming out of there and I said ' What 's that ' and he said ' Oh , I 've just been working on some riffs , do you think these go well together ? ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well together and we 're about to write our first song together . ' Advertisement " So ' Soldier In The Army Of Love ' is about the redemptive power of rock and roll . It 's got huge Morello riffs from multi-generations and a shredding guitar solo where you have to guess which one of us played . " It must be great to see him putting so much time into it . " Yeah , he 's been putting in those hours ! I did n't start playing until I was 17 so it 's weird to see a little kid with that sort of facility on the instrument . I think a lot of kids are out there being DJs or influencers or whatnot , but he 's doing it the old-school way , practising for hours and hours a day to become a really great guitar player and he 's already there . " When I was learning there was n't anything like access to YouTube , which really shortens the time . I 'll come home and he 'll be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ afternoon , which would have taken me a year by taking the needle and putting it back on the record again and again . Above all else , it 's just inspiring . I 'm so proud to have a guitar player there who may be giving me a run for my money . " Why was now the right time for your first solo rock album ? " Often in the past I 've had a real preconceived notion of the album that I wanted to make , whether it was a group album with Rage , Audioslave or Prophets of Rage , a folk album with The Night Watchmen or a collaborative record with Atlas Underworld . With this , I did n't have a preconceived notion , I was just letting the music lead the way and the songs that I was writing with Roman were like heavy rock songs . " It felt like it was time for me to make this album . I 've made rock records that were hip-hop , rock records that were alternative , rock records that had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rock and roll record with my name on it . " " Off the top of my head , some of my favourites would be ' Imagine ' by John Lennon -- I stopped by Abbey Road yesterday so that 's on my mind -- ' Biko ' by Peter Gabriel , ' Fight The Power ' by Public Enemy . There are also probably a few Rage Against The Machine Songs that make the list too ... " The first thing that makes a great protest song is that it 's a great song . Nobody wants to hear a college lecture with a beat to it , there has to be an artistry there and an authenticity and a power and a chemistry behind it . All of those songs have that . " What 's the biggest difference between working as a solo artist compared to being in a band ? " I 've done a number of solo records before , but I love the idea of being in a band because what you get out of being in a band is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could create alone . What you get out of being a solo artist is purity and being able to create something that no one else would be able to create . With making this record , I love the idea of steering it where I want it to go . It 's the same with the shows too ... we want to curate an experience -- not just riffs and guitar solos , but something that is a holistic presentation of rock and roll in its highest and bloodiest level . " What does the future look like for you ? " The immediate future is rocking the shit out of Download . I 'm an overthinker when it comes to setlist and stuff and with Rage and Audioslave we never got to play as much as I wanted to in the UK , so the audiences here are going to be well-serviced . " I got another month-and-a-half on the road across Europe and I 'm looking forward to rocking for people all over . Then after that , I 'm going home to finish this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen and drummer Jon Theodore caught up with us backstage at this year 's instalment of the Donington Park festival , shortly before they took to the Apex stage as Friday 's headliners ( June 14 ) . It comes following frontman Josh Homme telling NME about the set at the end of 2023 , and hinting that while they still planned to " to give it their all " , they did n't see " any reason to trip out " over the set . Now , chatting with us backstage , Van Leeuwen and Theodore opened up about what it 's been like to tour in support of their latest LP , and shared their love for Royal Blood , who they hit the road with earlier this year . This far down the line , do you still get nervous when it comes to a show like this ? JT : " A lady never tells . But we are super excited . We get super fired up . It 's a legendary spot and we 're standing on the shoulders of giants here , so it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I would say for the most part it 's just excitement though . " T.V.L : " I call it butterflies because it sounds nicer , a bit more poetic . " T.V.L : " We 've been touring for about a year now on this new record , I ca n't believe it came out almost a year ago . The response has been pretty positive , I think they like us ... I 'm making guesses , but it feels good . That 's all that matters . " The band are about to re-release their 1998 debut album . Were you both familiar with the album before you joined the line-up ? T.V.L : " We love that record . I think we all listened to it before we were in the band , but we 've been playing a couple of those songs along the way so it does bring back memories . " J : " It 's good to refresh them and make them current again . We do try to play to play them all the time and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ band . So it always goes over well when we play the songs . " With something like a reissue , do you get involved despite not being on the original recording ? T.V.L : " I think there 's a balance between how the record sounds and the simplicity of it . But there are moments where we get to go out of the lines a little bit and express ourselves . It 's a little balancing act . " J.T : " We definitely try to honour the past as well as we possibly can . We try to recreate that time and place and feel and sound . But that being said there are times where we collectively veer off . But I think individually we all try to acknowledge that essential push needed . " T.V.L : " Well they 're like our brothers . We 've toured quite a bit together and we actually have a lot of fun together . We actually say ' We should just tour forever together ' . Maybe at some point we can then all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rock fight for sure . " J.T : " We love those guys . We 're real kindred spirits . They 're fun to watch and even more fun to hang with . I think the thing with those guys is that , even though we 're from completely different parts of the world and we play in different bands , there is a commonality between us that makes it feel very familiar . So in a way , it does feel like home all the time . No matter where we are , when those guys are around it feels like the old days . " J.T : " Jimi Hendrix , Talking Heads and the John Coltrane Quartet . And it would be based on a mountain near the beach with lots of puppies around . It 'd be an all-around wonderful scenario . " T.V.L : " That sounds amazing . I 'd go to that one . " What does the future look like for Queens Of The Stone Age ? TVL : " Sleep ! I think we 're going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some plans for next year that are loosely being talked about . " J.T : " There are definitely some aces in some sleeves so to speak ... " T.V.L : " There is always music that we can get back to , but we 're also in the middle of this really long summer tour , and that 's what we want to make sure that we 're still excited about . Even at the end . So that takes all of our energy away from things like writing a new song or talking about making an animated movie about the behind-the-scenes of the making-of a documentary . " J.T : " We 've been in sort of fifth or sixth gear . We have to get into mutual at some point and come up for air -- see our families , rest our bodies , spend some time apart from one another . Because at this point it 's sort of this large , five-headed organism . It 's like the thing almost , so we need to free some of the surfaces to regrow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do some more .

" So my new single , ' Soldier In The Army Of Love ' is the first song from what will be my first ever solo rock album . It 's a collaboration with my 13-year-old son , Roman . During the pandemic , while the rest of us were baking bread and trying to learn a language , he was practising guitar for eight hours a day . I 've been relegated to being the rhythm guitar player in my family as I have a shredding prodigy now who 's really giving me a run for my money . One day I was walking by his room and these huge drop-D riffs were coming out of there and I said ' What 's that ' and he said ' Oh , I 've just been working on some riffs , do you think these go well together ? ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well together and we 're about to write our first song together . ' Advertisement " So ' Soldier In The Army Of Love ' is about the redemptive power of rock and roll . It 's got huge Morello riffs from multi-generations and a shredding guitar solo where you have to guess which one of us played . " It must be great to see him putting so much time into it . " Yeah , he 's been putting in those hours ! I did n't start playing until I was 17 so it 's weird to see a little kid with that sort of facility on the instrument . I think a lot of kids are out there being DJs or influencers or whatnot , but he 's doing it the old-school way , practising for hours and hours a day to become a really great guitar player and he 's already there . " When I was learning there was n't anything like access to YouTube , which really shortens the time . I 'll come home and he 'll be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ afternoon , which would have taken me a year by taking the needle and putting it back on the record again and again . Above all else , it 's just inspiring . I 'm so proud to have a guitar player there who may be giving me a run for my money . " Why was now the right time for your first solo rock album ? " Often in the past I 've had a real preconceived notion of the album that I wanted to make , whether it was a group album with Rage , Audioslave or Prophets of Rage , a folk album with The Night Watchmen or a collaborative record with Atlas Underworld . With this , I did n't have a preconceived notion , I was just letting the music lead the way and the songs that I was writing with Roman were like heavy rock songs . " It felt like it was time for me to make this album . I 've made rock records that were hip-hop , rock records that were alternative , rock records that had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rock and roll record with my name on it . " " Off the top of my head , some of my favourites would be ' Imagine ' by John Lennon -- I stopped by Abbey Road yesterday so that 's on my mind -- ' Biko ' by Peter Gabriel , ' Fight The Power ' by Public Enemy . There are also probably a few Rage Against The Machine Songs that make the list too ... " The first thing that makes a great protest song is that it 's a great song . Nobody wants to hear a college lecture with a beat to it , there has to be an artistry there and an authenticity and a power and a chemistry behind it . All of those songs have that . " What 's the biggest difference between working as a solo artist compared to being in a band ? " I 've done a number of solo records before , but I love the idea of being in a band because what you get out of being in a band is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could create alone . What you get out of being a solo artist is purity and being able to create something that no one else would be able to create . With making this record , I love the idea of steering it where I want it to go . It 's the same with the shows too ... we want to curate an experience -- not just riffs and guitar solos , but something that is a holistic presentation of rock and roll in its highest and bloodiest level . " What does the future look like for you ? " The immediate future is rocking the shit out of Download . I 'm an overthinker when it comes to setlist and stuff and with Rage and Audioslave we never got to play as much as I wanted to in the UK , so the audiences here are going to be well-serviced . " I got another month-and-a-half on the road across Europe and I 'm looking forward to rocking for people all over . Then after that , I 'm going home to finish this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen and drummer Jon Theodore caught up with us backstage at this year 's instalment of the Donington Park festival , shortly before they took to the Apex stage as Friday 's headliners ( June 14 ) . It comes following frontman Josh Homme telling NME about the set at the end of 2023 , and hinting that while they still planned to " to give it their all " , they did n't see " any reason to trip out " over the set . Now , chatting with us backstage , Van Leeuwen and Theodore opened up about what it 's been like to tour in support of their latest LP , and shared their love for Royal Blood , who they hit the road with earlier this year . This far down the line , do you still get nervous when it comes to a show like this ? JT : " A lady never tells . But we are super excited . We get super fired up . It 's a legendary spot and we 're standing on the shoulders of giants here , so it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I would say for the most part it 's just excitement though . " T.V.L : " I call it butterflies because it sounds nicer , a bit more poetic . " T.V.L : " We 've been touring for about a year now on this new record , I ca n't believe it came out almost a year ago . The response has been pretty positive , I think they like us ... I 'm making guesses , but it feels good . That 's all that matters . " The band are about to re-release their 1998 debut album . Were you both familiar with the album before you joined the line-up ? T.V.L : " We love that record . I think we all listened to it before we were in the band , but we 've been playing a couple of those songs along the way so it does bring back memories . " J : " It 's good to refresh them and make them current again . We do try to play to play them all the time and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ band . So it always goes over well when we play the songs . " With something like a reissue , do you get involved despite not being on the original recording ? T.V.L : " I think there 's a balance between how the record sounds and the simplicity of it . But there are moments where we get to go out of the lines a little bit and express ourselves . It 's a little balancing act . " J.T : " We definitely try to honour the past as well as we possibly can . We try to recreate that time and place and feel and sound . But that being said there are times where we collectively veer off . But I think individually we all try to acknowledge that essential push needed . " T.V.L : " Well they 're like our brothers . We 've toured quite a bit together and we actually have a lot of fun together . We actually say ' We should just tour forever together ' . Maybe at some point we can then all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rock fight for sure . " J.T : " We love those guys . We 're real kindred spirits . They 're fun to watch and even more fun to hang with . I think the thing with those guys is that , even though we 're from completely different parts of the world and we play in different bands , there is a commonality between us that makes it feel very familiar . So in a way , it does feel like home all the time . No matter where we are , when those guys are around it feels like the old days . " J.T : " Jimi Hendrix , Talking Heads and the John Coltrane Quartet . And it would be based on a mountain near the beach with lots of puppies around . It 'd be an all-around wonderful scenario . " T.V.L : " That sounds amazing . I 'd go to that one . " What does the future look like for Queens Of The Stone Age ? TVL : " Sleep ! I think we 're going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some plans for next year that are loosely being talked about . " J.T : " There are definitely some aces in some sleeves so to speak ... " T.V.L : " There is always music that we can get back to , but we 're also in the middle of this really long summer tour , and that 's what we want to make sure that we 're still excited about . Even at the end . So that takes all of our energy away from things like writing a new song or talking about making an animated movie about the behind-the-scenes of the making-of a documentary . " J.T : " We 've been in sort of fifth or sixth gear . We have to get into mutual at some point and come up for air -- see our families , rest our bodies , spend some time apart from one another .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'make a living out of vilifying Muslims' involves the verb 'make' with 'a living' as its object, followed by 'out of vilifying Muslims', which does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Additionally, the NP object 'a living' does not function as a causee in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'vilifying Muslims'.

Humza Yousaf is back with a bang . Now the embattled politician has taken to the Grauniad 's opinion pages to write a fiery piece on ' anti-Muslim hatred ' . In an explosive entry , the ex-SNP leader claims that Muslims across the continent are ' fearful ' due to ' growing popularity and mainstreaming of the far right ' . ' It is increasingly difficult to persuade fellow Muslims that Europe does not have a problem with our very existence , ' he notes . In 2024 , almost half the world 's population will take part in elections . Many countries have already gone to the polls , and in a number of countries , particularly across Europe , the biggest gains have been made by those who make a living out of vilifying Muslims . It is not too late for politicians of all persuasions to confront and face down the anti-Muslim hatred rampant in our political discourse . The real danger is that by appeasing the far right , we also risk emboldening IS-inspired extremists too . If we allow this to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stuff . But when he hones in on the UK 's upcoming election , Yousaf ca n't quite resist at taking a pop at rival politicians . The former Tory Home Secretary Suella Braverman gets a special mention , as Yousaf writes : Islamophobia is so acceptable that they now barely bother disguising it . Just take the example of the former UK home secretary Suella Braverman , who can openly write a newspaper column stating ' the Islamists , the extremists and the antisemites are in charge now ' . Golly . And it was n't long before Scotland 's former leader turned the guns on Reform UK 's Nigel Farage : Farage -- who , during this campaign , has said that Muslims do not share British values -- has a history of making Islamophobic remarks . In 2015 , he said that people had fears of Muslims as a " fifth column " ; in 2013 , he suggested Muslim migrants were ' coming here to take us over ' . Farage has failed to get elected seven times and yet , despite this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ living out of fanning the flames of religious and racial tension , the British media appears obsessed with platforming him . Ouch . It 's quite an attack from a former party leader to a current one . Mr S reckons that Yousaf will be left a little disappointed , however . As Reform 's popularity ratings continue to rise -- and even overtake the Tories -- Farage is unlikely to be getting ' deplatformed ' any time soon ... |

Reasoning

The sentence 'he ducked out of being best man at his wedding to take part in the X Factor semi-final' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('he') + V1 ('ducked') + NP object (implied 'himself' or 'his role') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('being best man at his wedding'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the subject's action (ducking out) prevents the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate (being best man) from occurring. The verb 'ducked' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically', which aligns with the construction's requirements. Additionally, the NP object is coreferential with the subject, which is an atypical but acceptable type of NP object in this construction.

Olly Murs missed his first Father 's Day with his baby daughter , watching the footie with Mark Wright instead . And Polly Hudson thinks he 's made a big mistake , one that a woman would n't be allowed to live down Olly Murs must have an extremely understanding wife . He just opted to spend his first Father 's Day with Mark ' Wrighty ' Wright on a ? bantz-tastic road trip to ? Germany to watch England play in the Euros , rather than be with his family . The singer 's wife , Amelia , has been coping with the relentless **45;114;TOOLONG ... newborn stage without him quite a lot already . Olly was on tour with Take That when his daughter Madison arrived in April , taking just 48 hours off after her birth . He 's been travelling the UK and Ireland sporadically ever since . Fair enough , people have to work , and certainly in the world of entertainment you 've got to take opportunities when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Father 's Day though . In a recent interview he said : " I had a long time to be selfish and do what I wanted to do . But now it 's not just about me , it 's about my wife , it 's about the baby . " Olly has also paid a high price for this kind of decision before ; his twin brother Ben has n't spoken to him for 15 years after he ducked out of being best man at his wedding to take part in the X Factor semi-final . So , Olly should know , more than most , that when it comes to family , being there on the special days matters . Olly opted to spend his first Father 's Day with Mark ' Wrighty ' Wright ( Image : @wrighty/Instagram ) Imagine if a woman did this . Any of it . She would have been absolutely crucified purely for the going straight back to work part , never mind picking a boozy jolly over being with her child on her first -- or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would n't have been documenting every moment of the drive on social media , as he did , without a worry in the world that anyone would have anything negative or critical to say about it . Here 's a little-known secret about the Euros , that Olly will absolutely kick himself when he finds out : you do n't actually have to travel to where the matches are being played -- they show them on TV ! Seriously ! So you can watch them in your local pub , or even on your local sofa . You know , the one in your living room , in your home , where your family are . I refuse to believe that there 's anyone in the world more into football than my husband -- if he was happy to nip to the pub on Father 's Day to watch England , it 's obviously not that much of a raw deal . And here 's another handy tip : the Euros are played every four years , but you only get your first Father 's Day once . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yes , Olly 's eight-week-old baby does n't have a clue what day it is , or even what days are but his wife certainly does , and he will , when he looks back in the future . As the mum of a nine-year-old , trust me , that old chestnut about the days being long but the years being short when raising children becomes ever more true with every single one that passes . On your first -- or any -- Father 's Day , if you turn your head to the side and instead of the innocent , loving face of your child , see the gurning mug of Mark Wright saying he finks you 're lost in Amsterdam not Germany coz he saw a windmill , something has gone very wrong in your life . Almost blasphemy to say this at the moment , but some things are more important than football . How sad if Olly only realises that when it 's too late . |

The Sennheiser HD 620S headphones embrace a closed-back design to insulate listeners against domestic noise , rather than the HD range 's traditionally open-back design . You should n't expect the sound isolation of ANC headphones , or quite the soundstage of the pricier open-back cans that the HD 620S is supposed to emulate , but the sound is still exceptional . There 's just enough sound isolation for everyday domestic noise , and it may well be an ideal choice for someone starting out on their hi-fi headphone journey . + Excellent sound reproduction + Solid construction + Good for long periods - No buttons or touch controls - Halfway sound isolation Why you can trust TechRadar We spend hours testing every product or service we review , so you can be sure you 're buying the best . Find out more about how we test . The Sennheiser HD 620S are something of a departure for the existing HD range , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ audiophiles who do n't want anything , even the headphones themselves , getting in the way of expansive soundstages and high-fidelity audio . The Sennheiser HD 620S hope to achieve the large , dramatic soundstage of open-backed headphones with a closed-back construction that keeps some of the environment around you shut out -- the sonic quality of one design , with the sound isolation of the other . According to Sennheiser , its aim is to produce " the most open-sounding closed-back headphones currently in the market " . Most people do n't have the luxury of listening to music in a soundproof room , after all , and some noise isolation can be helpful -- but is this halfway house strategy successful ? The HD 620S do sound brilliant , with detail , dynamism and a wide-ranging frequency response . Like many of the best wired headphones out there , they lack some of the modern comforts of everyday consumer headphones , like touch controls or Bluetooth , but they excel in the one area that really matters : the sound . The closed-back design does @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' feel of backless headphones , but not hugely and those jumping over from most consumer headphones will only feel a benefit on this front . And at 150 Ohms impedance , these headphones are suitable for those getting into hi-fi for the first time , rather than seasoned audio professionals . Just be warned that the closed back is also limited in what it can achieve . You might block out the tapping of your keyboard as you type or muffle conversation in the living room , but loud sounds still push through -- you wo n't fare too well with commutes , offices or particularly rowdy housemates . ANC headphones these are not , but for a particular brand of home listener who only needs a partial noise reduction , the Sennheiser HD 620S could be ideal .

As a wired model , the HD 620S do n't work in tandem with the Sennheiser Control mobile app either -- as it focuses on wireless headphones -- though we 're told you can run third-party EQ software to adjust the sound if you want .

As with the HD 600 or HD660S2 , the earcups are far more expansive than most consumer headphones , aiding the size of the soundstage . At 9cm wide and 12cm tall , they cover quite a large portion of the side of your head , though with a rigid construction and choice cushioning to keep the headphones firmly in place with a modicum of comfort . The backing to the earcups also prevents the HD 620S from feeling flimsy , or exposed , as some open-backed models can . The headband is reinforced with metal , despite a largely plastic black exterior , and is a little stiff to adjust . Once you 've picked the right configuration , though , you 'll be unlikely to want it moving around accidentally , so this feels intentional . There are no in-line buttons or touch-sensitive interfaces with these headphones , meaning every part of the construction is geared towards the audio recreation and your own comfort , without other parts getting in the way . Those who are used to sliding their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get used to their absence , but it 's likely worth it .

There 's a simple , soft cloth bag to stop the headphones accumulating dust , though nothing more substantial to protect it from hard knocks in a rucksack . These are , despite the closed-back design , still headphones designed for home listening , and you likely wo n't get much use out of them on your daily commute . Design score : 4 / 5 ( Image credit : Future / Henry St Leger ) Expansive soundstage with excellent separation Incredible detail scales with volume Padded earcups block out quiet noises The Sennheiser HD 620S reference headphones are designed for high-fidelity sound reproduction , despite their closed-back limitations . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , with incredible detail across pop , rock , and classical music . It feels strongest with the last of the three , with an expansive soundstage that really allows instruments to swell in and out of hearing , and excellent separation between them even as an entire orchestra surges together . But modern pop also excels , with the space for vocals to expand in a controlled way -- the multitude of vocals overlapping at the end of Billie Eilish 's Happier Than Ever build wonderfully without muddying the sound . These are stereo headphones , mind , so there 's no formal support for spatial audio formats such as Dolby Atmos , but the size of the 42mm transducers , the roomy earcups themselves and the angled baffle ( which Sennheiser says " recreates the triangular imaging of a great loudspeaker setup " ) allow for a spatial quality for anything you listen to .

Compared with muddier consumer headphones -- often focused more on a punchy bass response or soft , low-fatigue listening -- the HD 620S manage to make every note pull its weight . The audio detail scales incredibly with the volume , too , gradually drawing out more of the track as you ramp up the output . Sennheiser cites the " speedy transients " ( the initial impact of a new sound ) made possible by its 150 Ohm aluminum voice coil , and it 's thrilling to hear the full oscillation of a note as it swings into the audible range . ( There 's a notable step up in impact from the still-quite-good $230 Sennheiser Accentum Plus , for example . ) The bass can feel a little restrained , especially at lower volumes , though it rises in a controlled fashion as the sound gets louder and eventually packs a good punch . Sennheiser 's own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ older , open-back HD600 , too . These headphones lack full-on ANC , meaning you 're reliant on the passive sound isolation of these padded earcups , which is enough to block out quiet sounds and muffle conversation , but still allows a shout to come through quite clearly . That 's very convenient for a certain kind of listener , one who wants to remove low-level distractions but is happy for louder sounds to cut through , who wants ' open ' audio but is happy to fence in the soundstage a little to hear more clearly . Sound quality score : 5 / 5 ( Image credit : Future / Henry St Leger ) Reasonable price point Lack of features reflected in price Suited to home use The Sennheiser HD 620S come in at an interesting price point . They 're not high-end audiophile headphones , but are still billed as ' reference ' headphones with a driver design that apes open-back relatives such as the HD 660S2 . As entry-level reference headphones @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seems eminently reasonable .

The sentence 'He got a lot out of being the pillar of the embattled community.' does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction. The verb 'got' is transitive and selects an NP object 'a lot', but it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Additionally, the NP object 'a lot' does not function as a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'being the pillar of the embattled community'. Therefore, this sentence is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

In a way , 70-year-old Tony Sinclair was lucky to be in his tent on the day last year when the police arrived . The canvas that kept him from the elements ended up in the bin , but , unlike several of his neighbours , he was able to save his most important possessions from going the same way . On 10 November , he was in Huntley Street in central London , in one of 10 tents pitched in a row next to University College hospital . Officers turned up " demanding my details , name , date of birth . But I stood my ground and refused , because I 'd done nothing wrong . " They said they were enforcing a section 35 dispersal order , under powers introduced 10 years ago to target antisocial behaviour . Sinclair thought such an order could n't be used to move someone away from their home -- " and this was my home " . Whatever the rules said , the authorities ensured it was n't his home for much longer . The police handcuffed Sinclair and identified him by searching inside his tent -- @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ driving licence . The officers released him and talked in vague terms about rough sleepers begging and defecating in the street ( offering nothing to challenge Sinclair 's avowal that he had never done either in his life ) , then ordered him to leave the area . Again , he refused . He was arrested -- now cuffed so tightly that it hurt -- taken to a police station and held for several hours . Released that evening , he went home to find his tent was n't there . As with those of his neighbours , it had been chucked into a Veolia rubbish lorry and crushed on the spot , the destruction captured in widely shared footage . Hastily erected security barriers now filled the tiny patch of ground the campers had made their own . One of Sinclair 's neighbours , who has had two heart attacks and two strokes , " came back from somewhere , did n't know anything about it and said : ' Hey , Tony , where 's my tent ? ' " All of his stuff had gone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . That guy was so cold . " So the pair spent the night together , huddling inconspicuously in the hospital . ' This is disgusting ' ... the removal of the tents outside University College hospital in November . Within a couple of days , most of the campers , Sinclair included , had secured new tents from a charity , moved the barriers a bit and repitched . Sinclair 's mattress and toiletries had been destroyed , along with his tent . But the police had let him bag up some possessions and bring them to the station . Most of the other campers were absent , sometimes with terrible consequences : " One guy , I think he was bipolar . His tent and everything went in the bin . We could n't get hold of him for a long while . " When a worried Sinclair eventually established contact , the man was inconsolable . " He told me : ' There was my dad 's watch in there , which he gave me just before he died . There was 23 years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sinclair 's story is not unusual . Walk around any British city and you will notice people who used to sleep with roofs over their head bedding down under canvas . I recently spotted a tent right by the Ritz hotel in central London . Rough sleeping in England is up 60% in just two years , according to the latest official figures ; in London , it is breaking records . Meanwhile , the tally of households stuck in ( reliably terrible ) temporary accommodation -- the submerged iceberg of hidden homelessness -- has more than doubled since 2010 . And yet on 4 November 2023 -- six days before the UCH tents were cleared -- the then home secretary , Suella Braverman , tweeted : " We can not allow our streets to be taken over by rows of tents occupied by people ... living on the streets as a lifestyle choice . " Sinclair eventually heard those words and has no doubt they encouraged the authorities locally : " That 's why they felt bold enough to go for everyone at once . " Even after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fines for " nuisance " rough sleeping to ? 2,500 , even threatening jail . The criminal justice bill , which fell victim to the dissolution of parliament in May , defined the damage caused by nuisance to include " smells " . Sinclair arrives one minute early for our appointment , just near the little camp where he lived until a couple of months ago , when he moved in with a relative . He is a positive and friendly if slightly frazzled presence , marching me to the " cheap and cheerful " hospital canteen . He still speaks with a strong Manchester accent , even after 40 years in the capital . He intersperses the story of how he became an " urban camper " with the airing of various enthusiasms , including the healing powers of meditation , for which , he explains , a pod-style tent is especially well suited . Sinclair and his two brothers were adopted young by a dedicated Manchester fostering family : " It was their job -- there were other kids around . " As a teen , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : " I 'll ' ave a bit of that , " and he joined the army as soon as he could . He headed back to Civvy Street three years later , in 1973 or 1974 , " and started on the buses in Manchester " . Now in his 20s , he rented his own place . He found life a blast , " drinking and womanising " on the weekends . At 28 , with a brother already in London , he headed for the capital and turned his hand to minicab driving . He was soon trusted by the owner to manage the station where 60 other freelancers worked . The proprietor " would just turn up every two weeks and collect the money . That was it . I was running it ; he were happy . It was good . " By now , Sinclair was a single father with a lot on his plate , but home life was eased by the owner giving him a sweet deal on a rental property . Later , when the owner offered him the chance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . In the end , one of his friends did the deal instead , although Sinclair continued to run the operation . That was fine for a while , but it did n't work out . So , in his late 40s , Sinclair went back to bus driving . " I loved it , " he says . " It was a good job . " He did it for 20 years , sometimes making ? 40,000 a year . Towards the end , a " really nice manager " explained that he was over pensionable age and could stop paying contributions ; in fact , he was due a seven-month rebate . " I went on holiday to Cuba . I wanted to stay , but they 'd have locked me up . They ca n't take people like me over there ! " Bus drivers who 'd got Covid were coming back ... five died in the space of a month Tony Sinclair Suitably refreshed , he went back to the buses . But then came Covid . A former girlfriend was struck @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ messed me up . " Meanwhile , the shocking number of deaths among London bus drivers became a big story . Some ailing staff said they felt obliged to carry on working because they would get only statutory sick pay ( ? 95.85 a week in spring 2020 ) : " Drivers who 'd got Covid were coming back . " At one nearby depot , Sinclair says , " five died in the space of a month " . The sick pay got sorted , but he still worried : " The precautions was n't there . " Sinclair ruffled feathers with awkward questions about the risks . In every interaction , he says , the management were now giving him a hard time . He spent the next three years wrangling with them , including a spell off from stress , " putting in a grievance " over safety concerns , a sudden formal discussion he had no time to prepare for , a dismissal letter that he says he never got , then tribunal and court hearings , which eventually he lost . All of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ himself , he was at one point hit with a ? 1,000 fee to keep the case going . " Printing alone was costing me a fortune . " With a state pension income of ? 880 a month and rent of ? 1,000 , his position was unsustainable . Something had to give -- and it was the rent . " I had to make that choice , " he says . He went to Manchester to stay with one of his brothers , but after a few months he headed back to London with no clue where he would land : " It was horrendous . " Then a homeless man on Tottenham Court Road told him about the camp . Someone lent him a tent , then had to take it back . Sinclair bought his own , " which was n't a problem , as I had some money " . That was " great " for a bit , until one day last June , when his pod was singled out and binned , along with his passport and his asthma pump . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tolerable . Meditation helped . For the toilet , Sinclair could generally slip into the hospital without a problem . He used some of the cash he was no longer paying in rent to pay for a gym membership , so he could have a shower every day , and he kept active with " weight training , rowing machine , cross trainer " . Above the gym was a library , where he would spend a couple of hours each day on his legal case . Still , he says : " Life on the streets is hard . I 've seen people being attacked . " He got a lot out of being the pillar of the embattled community . There were some addicts and one intolerably noisy drunk , but he learned to be understanding : " When I were a bus driver , I 'd give to the homeless , but I was selective -- I would n't give to alcoholics and druggies . But that was not knowing about them . You know , they 're all suffering from trauma from an early age @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " Other campers were n't addicts ; they were just overwhelmed . " One guy next to me was a catering manager in a pub . But he was paying child maintenance and could n't afford rent . " He was n't penniless : " He could have paid a deposit , not a problem , but then he 'd have to pay the rent , " which he could n't afford . Instead , he camped and bought a car , even though he could n't drive . He sat his test , but failed . So Sinclair took him out every day and gave him hours of lessons : " He passed -- he was so made up . " He has since landed work in a different pub , where he can live . Another neighbour was Pete , the chirpiest sort of London geezer . When we pop round the corner to see the four or five remaining tents , he dashes forward to say hello . He banters knowledgably about Huddersfield Town ( my local team ) and much else , then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with a story about a plan to clear the tents for good , by putting cycle racks and bollards in their place . Pete ended up here after being booted out of his digs in Camden , run by a fake landlord who had claimed the property was his . " It turned out it was n't , " he says . " We 'd all been paying rent , but got evicted . " Work should offer Pete a way out . He has done all sorts -- " building sites , casual labour " , helping out a friend with a cleaning company -- but he has hurt his arm . Its visibly restricted movement seriously limits his options . Despite Sinclair 's efforts to stay positive , he hid his life under canvas from his daughter . She discovered how he was living when the clearance popped up in the news : " Dad , why did n't you tell me ? " she asked . " I could n't put that on someone else , " he says now . " I needed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a piece with Sinclair 's efforts to keep his freezing neighbour warm , to reconnect with his lost bipolar friend , to get his neighbour a driving licence , to ensure suitable Covid protocols at work . If one theme threads the stories he told me , it 's responsibility -- a concern that is often lacking elsewhere . After November 's tent clearance caused a backlash , the hospital 's trust acknowledged that it had wanted the sleepers to be dispersed , but let it be known that it had never meant for the tents to be destroyed . Labour-controlled Camden council , which contains Keir Starmer 's constituency , struck a regretful tone and said it had ordered an " urgent investigation into what happened " . Veolia , the operator of the rubbish lorry , said it had acted " on behalf of and under the strict supervision of Camden council , and the police when needed " . Eventually , the police admitted they had acted unlawfully . Sinclair is now in line for compensation for wrongful arrest . No one , then , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a country disturbed by the penury in its midst , yet clueless about how to address it -- beyond the age-old trick of turning " vagrants " into someone else 's problem by moving them along . As for Sinclair , he has picked up warm words from the Lib Dems and Labour on affordable housing , which would " of course " make a difference -- but he does n't believe it will happen .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes a situation where an injury kept someone out of training, but there is no VP2[-ing] predicate involved, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

France may need to plan for the absence of Kylian Mbappe in the game against the Netherlands on Friday which will likely decide who will top Group D , after their captain suffered a broken nose in the opener , while the Dutch are up against recent history . Mbappe went off injured in Monday 's 1-0 win over Austria and will need a protective mask when he does return to action . If he sits out Friday 's game , the Netherlands will be relieved not to have to face the French forward again . In the Euro qualifying phase , the two nations were also drawn in the same group , with the French coming out on top in both meetings , in which Mbappe scored four goals . The Dutch are , in fact , his favourite opponent , having netted five times in six games against them , and the first of his 47 international goals also came against the Netherlands back in 2017 . " Obviously , the French team with or without him , this is not the same thing . I hope he can be there , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mbappe , the setback is yet more Euro heartbreak . He has never scored at a Euro finals tournament , and in 2021 , Mbappe 's penalty was saved in the shootout with Switzerland which saw France exit at the last 16 stage . Mbappe may yet get the chance to put things right in Germany , but for now , if France manager Didier Deschamps does need to do without his most creative and dangerous player , he may turn to a man with plenty of tournament experience . Olivier Giroud replaced Mbappe on Monday , as he did in their last friendly game against Canada , but the striker is struggling with an adductor injury which kept him out of training on Tuesday . " I 'm not thinking about myself in that moment . I 'm thinking of Kylian , of the team , " Giroud said after the Austria game . " In any case , we do n't know what will happen for the next match .

Ronald Koeman 's side also won their opening game , but had to come from behind to defeat Poland 2-1. and were guilty of missing an array of chances . They will need be more clinical in front of goal when they get the opportunity against France . The Dutch will try to ignore recent history and instead look to the spirit of 1988 , when the Netherlands won the Euros in West Germany , their only major title .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('holiday costs could be limiting family travel for many as nearly half (44 per cent) of families feel priced out of travelling during school breaks'). It also exhibits a prevention interpretation, where the high costs prevent families from traveling during school breaks. The verb 'priced' fits into the category of verbs that exert pressure (metaphorically in this case) to achieve a goal, and the NP object 'families' functions as a causee who is prevented from participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'travelling during school breaks'.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'priced out of travelling' does not involve a V1 that fits the semantic classifications provided (e.g., deception, force, fear, etc.), and the NP object 'families' does not clearly function as a causee in the event described by 'travelling'.

Looking at the cost of flights from London and accommodation in Benidorm , Spain , for two adults and two teenagers , a week-long trip for four in May when the temperature is 22 degrees will set you back ? 803 per family for seven days . But this rises to ? 1,570 in August when the mercury hits 30 degrees - ? 96 for each extra degree .

This ramps up to ? 1,272 , or ? 89 per degree , for a week in 30-degree heat in July . Greece is among the more reasonable options , with a family paying around ? 1,793 for 28 degrees in August , but costs just ? 1,285 in May at 23 degrees .

" It can be increasingly difficult to budget for yearly holidays , especially for those travelling with children who are restricted to peak holiday prices due to the school holidays . However , there are savvy ways to save money on holiday . " Our research has shown that families can still enjoy hot holidays at a better price point by considering October half term for travel . In fact , a holiday to Cyprus is ? 321 cheaper in October than August , and still a balmy 25 degrees .

Lewis Hamilton does not think Red Bull are to blame for the high number of unsold tickets ( Image : GETTY ) Lewis Hamilton says Red Bull can not be blamed for the high number of unsold tickets for this year 's British Grand Prix . Around 470,000 fans are expected to descend on Silverstone later this month but there are still plenty of tickets available despite the event usually selling out . A quick look at the Silverstone website confirms that day , weekend and enclosure tickets can still be purchased despite the British Grand Prix being less than a fortnight away . Stuart Pringle , the venue 's managing director , recently suggested that Red Bull 's dominance was putting fans off buying tickets . " If there is a strong likelihood of the same winner and the jeopardy is taken out of the sport , it does take the edge off it , " he told Motorsport.com . " Last year was very repetitive in terms of one team dominated and they set off this season in the same vein @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , promotions , and adverts from us and our partners .

Read our Privacy Policy " Things may be changing now , and I do recognise that we had several years of a British driver dominating the championship , and we did n't mind that so much as a British promoter , but it 's certainly been a lot harder with Red Bull dominating . " Hamilton , meanwhile , believes event organisers are to blame for the unsold tickets as a result of setting prices too high . Tickets for the British Grand Prix are among the most expensive on the F1 calendar , with general admission prices starting at nearly ? 350 . Speaking ahead of this weekend 's Spanish Grand Prix , Hamilton said : " So many fans come and have a great weekend . The only thing I would ever say is that we have to watch ticket prices . I think they 're continuing to rise and the cost of living nowadays , I think it 's too high . " The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but I 'm just thinking from the perspective of fans and their families .

Read our Privacy Policy Silverstone faced criticism last year for its ' dynamic pricing ' of tickets , which saw prices increase according to demand and the number of people online at the time . It resulted in some tickets being sold for well over four figures , leading to concerns that many fans were being priced out of attending . Pringle recently defended Silverstone 's decision to persist with their dynamic pricing , referring to pubs as an example . He said : " One of the pub chains prices its pints differently on a Friday evening and Saturday evening compared to the rest of the week @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people to part with their money .

British track cycling star Katie Archibald is out of the Paris Olympics after sustaining a serious leg injury after falling in her garden . The 30-year-old , a gold medalist from Rio and Tokyo , tripped over in an innocuous incident on Tuesday and remains in a Manchester hospital after having surgery on Monday .

AN unauthorised ' Chai Village ' on a busy Bradford road needs to be pulled down by the end of the month after an enforcement notice was issued by Bradford Council . The caf ? business was built on a vacant site on Thornton Road in 2022 , despite planning permission having never been granted . Since then , five attempts to gain retrospective planning permission have failed -- the most recent attempt being an appeal that was dismissed earlier this year . Bradford Council has now issued an enforcement notice against the site , ordering that all the unauthorised structures , and a large digital screen , be removed from the site by June 30 . The business is made up of a caf ? , constructed using a shipping container , indoor seating area , large LED screen and car park . It is based on a former mill site in the Goitside Conservation Area , on the outskirts of Bradford city centre . The first application for a caf ? on the site , part of the Goitside Conservation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , with officers saying it was " out of keeping " with the much larger buildings that make up the protected area . They also argued it could hinder future development of a key site in the city . After that , two other planning applications for the development were refused , with officers raising issues including the impact of traffic of the development and concerns about the large screen on the site . A fourth retrospective application was submitted last year , but planners said it was too similar to the previously refused schemes , and declined to even consider it . A damaged gate at the Chai Village site ( Image : Newsquest ) An appeal against one of the refusals was submitted by Chai Village LTD . But earlier this year , a Government-appointed planning inspector dismissed this appeal , saying : " The design of the development , including materials such as the decking area and plywood canopy with artificial grass , are of poor quality which do not reflect the character and appearance of the Conservation Area . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ proposal , but I acknowledge that there would be some limited public benefits of the scheme . Nonetheless , the benefits are not sufficient to outweigh the harm . " The enforcement notice against the unauthorised work has been issued by Bradford Council , and was published online this week . It requires the " demolition of the unauthorised single storey structures and freestanding screen structure . " It also requires all materials to be removed from the land -- and states all the work needs to be completed within one calendar month of the notice taking effect ( May 30 ) .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'out of' in a different context, describing something that is not in keeping with the area, which does not involve a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

A bid for a van to sell kebabs in Cheltenham 's Promenade has been rejected amid fears it would fuel antisocial behaviour as revellers " already vandalise and vomit in the town centre " . Mehmet Yilmaz applied to Cheltenham Borough Council for a street trading consent to sell hot food and hot and cold drinks from a van measuring 2.1m by 3.6m . He wanted to trade from the Promenade near Clarence Terrace from 6pm to 4am , seven days a week . A Cheltenham Business Improvement representative spoke against the plans during the licensing sub-committee meeting on June 18 . She said it would be out of keeping with the area and could lead to antisocial behaviour . And that it is very close to Boots Corner which is an area already experiencing large amounts of antisocial behaviour . " One prime example is people coming out of the pubs and clubs at the end of Regent Street and making their way onto the Promenade , " she said . " There was at one point some flowers put up there and they were just ripped out . " There have been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the litter spread around . There 's also been a few issues around the taxi rank . " There is quite often a lot of vomit on the streets leading from both the clubs at the end of Regent Street and near Yates and Revolution . " There are a couple of takeaways around the corner there . This would make it worse and perhaps spread that sort of thing . " The red box shows the proposed location of the kebab van in the Promenade ( Image : CBC ) She also said the length of the kebab vans opening hours would take trade away from nearby businesses . " There are a number of businesses in that area who are food outlets which are open until midnight , " she said . " We 've been contacted by restaurants nearby who are concerned it would detract from the overall aesthetics and ambiance of the Promenade . It is quite often used in the early evenings by people going to and from the theatre , Montpellier and enjoying the Imperial Gardens . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ running such a business and has traded in Bristol city centre . He said to avoid noise nuisance he uses a power bank and would have three workers to deal with customers as quickly as possible . " We are not keeping the people in the area , " he said . " After finishing work we would clean the area 100 yards around . " Mehmet Yilmaz said he had 20 years of experience running such a business and has traded in Bristol city centre . ( Image : CBC ) He told the committee he used to run a kebab van in Evesham Road but it was not profitable . " In the town centre you can make more money , that 's why I 've applied . You can serve more customers . " Cllr Simon Wheeler ( LD , Hesters Way ) said it was unfair to put the town 's antisocial behaviour problems " at his door " as he is not currently trading there . " Having said that , businesses of your nature will attract people coming out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , " he said . " How would you manage that if you found yourself in a situation where antisocial behaviour was occurring due to your business ? " Mr Yilmaz said he did not think he would have any trouble because he knows how to manage customers . But he reassured the committee that if it is very busy he would hire two security guards . Cllr Dilys Barrell ( LD , Park ) said she was sympathetic with his aims but the location of the business is not good . " Unfortunately , if people are attracted to your business there is so much opportunity for more antisocial behaviour to happen in the area , " she said . Councillor David Steinhardt said he did not think a kebab van would add value to the Promenade . ( Image : Carmelo Garcia ) And Cllr David Steinhardt ( LD , Benhall , the Reddings and Fiddler 's Green ) said he did not think the kebab van would add value to the Promenade . He said there are a lot of other businesses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in direct competition with them , " he said . " I do n't think that would be fair on them either .

" Without trying , nobody knows what 's going to happen . If there are any problems , I 'll close it myself . " The committee voted to reject the application .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('helping Hornsent here won't lock you out of getting Leda's armor set and weapon later'). It also exhibits a prevention interpretation, where the action of helping Hornsent prevents the subject from being locked out of getting Leda's armor set and weapon. The verb 'lock' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure, and the NP object 'you' functions as a causee. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The Elden Ring Leda quest is arguably the most important in the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion , considering it 's all about helping Miquella 's most devout supporter track him through the Land of Shadow . Lady Leda 's quest mirrors your own path through the story , though there are some extra steps you can take or ignore depending on how much you care about certain characters and getting special items . In many ways , since Leda is so inseparable from the story , this guide is actually a step by step to the central progression of the whole expansion . Of course , this will include spoilers for Leda 's questline , including the final quest step , but I 've labelled the sections vaguely for that reason . All that said , here 's how to complete the Shadow of the Erdtree Leda quest . Lady Leda 's quest is really the central progression of the expansion , as you follow her notes , and help her track down Miquella in the Land of Shadow . While all of these steps are n't necessary -- @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ context -- I 'll list them in case you want every interaction and piece of dialogue : Meet Needle Knight Leda at the Cocoon of the Empyrean in Mohgwyn Palace Find a message from Leda just after the boss ( Image credit : FromSoftware ) After speaking to Leda and entering the expansion , your next step , besides meeting the other Miquella companions , is to defeat the Divine Beast Dancing Lion boss in Belurat , Tower Settlement . It 's quite a tricky one , so I recommend exploring and grabbing Scadutree Fragments first , as well as Revered Spirit Ash if you 're using a summon . If you 've spoken to Freyja at the Three-Path Cross site of grace on the way to Belurat , you should be able to summon her for this boss also . After the fight , take the elevator up to find your path blocked by overgrown shadow vines and the Tower of Shadow Message left by Leda . She 'll explain that you need to find @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ east . Image 1 of 2 You 'll find Leda 's next note at the Castle Ensis Checkpoint site of grace ( Image credit : FromSoftware ) Heading east you 'll find the Ellac Greatbridge , and across it , the entrance to Castle Ensis -- your next destination . Fight your way through the castle until you reach the Castle Ensis Checkpoint site of grace and the Miquella Cross . Here , you 'll find the Message from Leda which explains you need to make for the ruins beyond the Shadow Keep and burn the sealing tree , though this will mean nothing to you yet . Keep progressing through Ensis until you come to the Castle-Lord 's Chamber site of grace , and just beyond it , Rellana 's boss arena . You can summon Lady Leda for this fight just outside the arena , plus Dryleaf Dane , though I 'd recommend only one of them so you do n't buff the bosses health too much . Rellana is n't massively tough , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Carian sorcery . Defeat her to enter Scadu Altus . Image 1 of 3 After the great rune is broken , return to speak with Leda ( Image credit : FromSoftware ) She 'll ask you to name either Thiollier or Hornsent as a traitor to Miquella ( Image credit : FromSoftware ) Whatever you choose , Leda will decide to go after Hornsent ( Image credit : FromSoftware ) Straight after Rellana , you 'll find Leda at the Highroad Cross site of grace . She 'll provide the not at all unsettling info that all of the Miquella companions are currently under his charm and tell you more about Dryleaf Dane and the Hornsent if you ask . When you 're ready , ride for the entrance to the Shadow Keep in the north . When you get close to the building , you 'll hear a shattering sound and get a message saying that a great rune has broken as well as a powerful charm . This is an important moment in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ companions has gone , so you should go back and talk to each of them before they disappear on their respective quests and you have to track them down again . Most importantly for Leda 's quest , you should go back and talk to her at Highroad Cross , since you 've got a decision to make . When you revisit Leda at Highroad Cross , she 'll explain that the charm has been dispelled , but that it 's the perfect opportunity to ferret out those who do n't believe in Miquella 's cause . She 'll ask you to choose either Thiollier , Hornsent , or nothing at all . The good news is that this decision does n't seem to matter . If you choose Thiollier , she simply shrugs it off and says he worships St. Trina , so could n't betray Miquella . If you do n't choose , after resting , Leda will explain that she 's going to kill the Hornsent . So , either way , she 's going after Hornsent . However , the Hornsent has his own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get at him . Image 1 of 2 You 'll find the summon signs in the courtyard with the burning boats ( Image credit : FromSoftware ) Summon to aid Leda and then talk to her at Highroad Cross ( Image credit : FromSoftware ) Your next stop is the Shadow Keep . From the main entrance , fight the Golden Hippopotamus boss -- you can summon Hornsent and Freyja for this -- and then keep going until you come to the courtyard with the burning boats . On the right hand side at the top of the stairs you 'll find two summon signs ; one to aid Hornsent and one to aid Leda . If you want to keep pursuing Leda 's quest and get the items unique to it , you should choose to aid her . It 's worth noting that helping Hornsent here wo n't lock you out of getting Leda 's armor set and weapon later -- since she 's just invading Hornsent , she wo n't actually die . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ too , so if you 're really just here for the loot , you should check our Hornsent quest guide , since that 's what you 'll be taking up instead of Leda 's quest if you choose to help him . But back to Leda ; summon to aid her and kill Hornsent . You 'll get Hornsent 's Braided armour and his Falx curved swords . Revisit Leda at Highroad Cross afterwards and she 'll also give you the Lacerating Crossed-Tree talisman that enhances dash attacks , as well as suggesting a new traitor to hunt down ; Sir Ansbach . Image 1 of 2 You 'll find the summon signs in Ansbach 's usual position on the first floor of the Specimen Storehouse ( Image credit : FromSoftware ) Summon to aid Leda then speak to her back at the Highroad Cross ( Image credit : FromSoftware ) You can find Sir Ansbach near the Storehouse , First Floor site of grace in the Specimen Storehouse area of the Shadow Keep , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hornsent . From the grace : Head left around the podium Take the staircase going left up into the bookcases Hang a left then turn right to see some stairs leading down into a room with a skeleton on an altar Ansbach should be in the right-hand corner . It 's unclear whether he 's replaced by summon signs as soon as you talk to Leda about him , but if not , you 'll have to do a small portion of the Ansbach quest and find him a nearby item . Once he does disappear , you can summon to aid Leda and kill him . Same as before , Ansbach has some unique rewards associated with his quest which will be inaccessible if you murder him , but so does Leda . Kill Ansbach to get his longbow , armour set , and the Letter to Freyja , which will continue her quest if you find her and give it to her . If you 're interested in that , see our Freyja quest guide . Revisit Leda at Highroad Cross once again @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attack after a roll or backstep . Leda wo n't name another victim , but will instead suggest next time you meet , ' let it be under the eyes of Miquella the Kind ' . Messmer is a tricky boss who combines Messmer fire magic with spear-thrusting combos , plus he has a few AoE attacks up his sleeve . Once you defeat him , you 'll get the Messmer 's Kindling item that you need to progress the quest . Make sure to visit the Highroad Cross site of grace after the boss , too , to get the second Message from Leda . Image 1 of 2 You 'll find Dane 's Message at the Miquella Cross by the Rauh Ancient Ruins , East site of grace ( Image credit : FromSoftware ) The message explains that you need to burn the sealing tree using Messmer 's Kindling ( Image credit : FromSoftware ) Your next step is to head for the upper Rauh Ruins via the west rampart of the Shadow Keep , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , First Floor site of grace , go left to find a small elevator and take it down . Following this path will lead you out onto the rampart , and once across , the upper levels of the Ancient Ruins of Rauh area . When you arrive at the Rauh Ancient Ruins East site of grace , you 'll discover the Message from Dane , though this explains what you already know ; that you need to burn the sealing tree in the ancient ruins using Messmer 's Kindling . Continue through the area until you finally arrive at the Church of the Bud . Image 1 of 2 You can find Romina at the Church of the Bud ( Image credit : FromSoftware ) After you beat her you can burn the sealing tree ( Image credit : FromSoftware ) Before you can burn the sealing tree , you 're going to have to defeat Romina , Saint of the Bud , a half-plant , half-woman boss who wields a scarlet rot glaive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it easier : Bring spells and items to remove scarlet rot . Romina has a lot of scarlet rot-based AoEs , especially in the second half of her fight when she starts summoning butterflies . Either bring the Flame Cleanse Me spell or Preserving Boluses to remove the affliction . Also make sure to give her a wide berth when she summons butterflies , because they 'll explode shortly afterwards Stick close to her torso . Romina is a weirdly shaped boss ; a crab-like plant with a torso stuck on top . Because of this a lot of her glaive attacks do n't seem to reach you if you stay close to her midriff . I found this was the best place to deal damage . When you 've defeated Romina , you can find the sealing tree just past the arena and set it ablaze . Find Leda on the main path through Enir-Ilim ( Image credit : FromSoftware ) Burning the tree will unlock the final area of Shadow of the Erdtree , Enir-Ilim , and this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ boss . Progress through the area until you reach the Cleansing Chamber Anteroom site of grace . If you peek into the next room , you 'll spy an ominous-looking Leda standing in what looks like an arena . If you had n't predicted this , just as with Hornsent and Ansbach , Leda has decided you 're a traitor who needs to be disposed of . She 'll disappear and leave some summon signs in her place . The red summon sign begins the battle against Leda and her allies , while the gold summon signs are the allies you can call upon during the fight . Sadly , you killed Ansbach , so he wo n't be an available summon . The good news is you 'll also get a default summon to help turn the tide either way -- a random Sanguine Noble NPC . This is a tricky fight , since you 'll be facing Leda , Dryleaf Dane , and potentially others based on the quest choices you made . After the fight , head into the next room to find Leda @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sword . This weapon has the Needle Piercer skill that lets you summon golden needles to strike around an enemy .

The sentence 'Some of the abuse is designed to intimidate us out of playing our full role in our democracy.' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('Some of the abuse') + V1 ('intimidate') + NP object ('us') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('playing our full role in our democracy'). It also exhibits a prevention interpretation, as the abuse is intended to prevent 'us' from playing our full role in democracy. The verb 'intimidate' falls under the category of means to achieve a goal by arousing fear, which is one of the classifications for verbs in this construction. The NP object 'us' functions as a causee, and the interpretation aligns with the prevention type, making this a valid instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Two of the city 's most prominent female politicians say they are having to take extra security precautions because of heightened safety fears as polling day approaches for the General Election . Jess Phillips , MP candidate for BirminghamYardley , and Shabana Mahmood , standing as MP for Birmingham Ladywood , have both been targeted with ' credible threats ' , triggering an uptick in their security . This is alongside the personal abuse and misogynistic taunts that have become ' normal ' , said both Labour candidates . Mahmood said of the rising tide of threats : " The hostility and abuse that politicians face , particularly female politicians , has got worse and worse over recent years . It 's completely different to when I was first elected - in particular , over the last six months or so , it 's the worst I have ever known it . " She added : " It has been difficult .

" I hasten to add I do n't feel under threat from my constituents at all and will be out in the communities as normal , meeting people face-to-face on the doorstep and moving around to visit people and organisations and events . " But I have to turn down invitations that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be . It means I 'm having to do something of a clandestine campaign .

" They were very understanding that I was not , however , able to attend their hustings ( held last night ) , because of the pre-publicised nature of it . People understand credible threats have to be taken seriously . " She highlighted how a case of harassment and threats against her was currently going through the courts and one man was imprisoned last year for making threats to kill .

The SNP Government 's " failure to address uncertainty for investors " threatens to derail ? 4.5 billion of investment around housing in Scotland . The news comes after a damp squib Parliament announcement disappointed an industry " expecting a tone of urgency reflective of Scotland 's current housing situation " . Industry chiefs delivered the stark warning : " If the First Minister is n't willing to invest his political capital into a new approach , then existing structures simply can not deliver the response Scotland needs . " In the face of a housing crisis , it was seen as a massive missed opportunity after a direct appeal from joint bodies to John Swinney seemed to gain little traction . Housing minister Paul McLennan said when he delivered his ministerial statement in Holyrood on Thursday that work to introduce a tenure-neutral housing standard would be " rescheduled " and he outlined an ambition to reduce the number of children living in temporary accommodation . A commitment to housing as a national outcome and the potential of the housing investment taskforce were welcomed . The industry is reeling from rent controls @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are now being factored in Scotland 's long-term housing plan . This has been blamed for the near halting of housing developments across Scotland , with many changed to student accommodation , which is also required , but within a housing balance . Investors pulled out of housing deals on the day the Scottish Government announced the move . However , David Melhuish , director of the Scottish Property Federation , said that " the response to the housing emergency did not address the uncertainty for investors caused by the current Housing Bill " . He told this column : " The provision in the Bill for rent control could mean a seven-eight year hiatus in rent control policy across the country , and with a potential rent freeze for five years of this period . " This makes no provision for building , retrofitting or professionally managing rented homes and unfortunately investors are clearly seeing the proposals as un-investible . Just last week we saw a scheme previously earmarked as the largest build to rent scheme in Scotland , in excess of 800 new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Glasgow , has been sold by its investor with the purchaser looking to change the site use . This is but one of several former housing for rent sites that are being moved on to other uses . " It is clear that the previously reported warnings that some ? 3bn of housing investment covering some 17,000 homes of various tenure is now at risk of not happening at all . " This investment is estimated to rise to some ? 4.5bn of economic value over a ten-year period if it is encouraged to come forward , providing a vital boost to the Scottish economy . " He said : " If we are to get a grip on the housing emergency we must start to build more homes of all tenures , and we must remove the current uncertainty for investors that is causing so much damage to housing investment in Scotland . We need to begin by improving this Bill , and we have little time to do so if we are to recover confidence in the investment community . " The mentioned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to 1,500 homes at one stage had been in the making for five years . Galliard Apsley Partnership has acquired the Glasgow site . Jane Wood , chief executive of Homes for Scotland , said : " In light of the Minister 's statement on the housing emergency ... we remain highly concerned at the pace for effecting the change Scotland 's population needs . " This is against the backdrop of a quarter of Scotland 's population facing some kind of housing need , a 24% drop in new starts and completions of homes across tenures in 2023 and challenges across the regulatory environment impacting the delivery of homes . " It also follows worrying evidence collected from Homes for Scotland members showing that 1000s of homes across tenures are stalled across the country due to budget restrictions . " Given the scale of the issue and the strong interdependencies across the whole housing sector , it is imperative that we move forward together , challenging the status quo to find new ways of doing things in order to avoid the same outcomes , or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that comprises the Association of Local Authority Chief Housing Officers , Chartered Institute of Housing , Homes for Scotland , Joseph Rowntree Foundation , the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations and Shelter Scotland wrote to the First Minister outlining actions including reversing the 37% cut to the affordable housing supply programme . The coalition said in a joint statement : " It 's extremely disappointing that , despite having declared a housing emergency , the Scottish Government has made clear that it intends to proceed with business as usual . " Donald Anderson , a former council leader who is now a director at Playfair Scotland public affairs agency , said : " A whole swathe of the market has been killed and massive housing investment has been lost for the foreseeable future and that 's just at the announcement of rent controls . " This must rank as the worst decision taken on the economy since devolution .

A doting son has shared that his dad 's last wishes was for him to host the " least expensive funeral " - so he created a DIY coffin . Charlie Dowdeswell , from Stroud , Gloucestershire , built the casket with scaffolding boards and then transported him to the church on the back of his work van . His father Clive , 63 , sadly passed away due to emphysema , which is a progressive lung condition , on January 14 . Before his father died , he had asked him to keep the funeral costs to a minimum in a bid to overcome unaffordable prices for his send-off . Charlie , 21 , managed to fulfil his father 's wishes and spent just ? 150 , as opposed to spending thousands of pounds , on his self-made coffin .

A controversial move to demolish a garage and ' shoehorn ' in new flats could still be allowed to proceed despite being rejected by a council . Sandwell Council blocked a move by Manminder Singh to demolish a side garage in Brookfields Road , Oldbury , and build three flats , saying the new building was too big . But the decision has been appealed to government planning inspectors , who can overrule Sandwell Council . They will be now tasked with deciding whether the decision was unreasonable . The move , which included a new two-storey building containing one one-bed and two two-bed flats , was rejected by the council in March with the authority 's planning officers calling the move a " classic overdeveloped proposal . " Planners said the application was " at odds " with what was already there and showed " no regard " other than gain . " They have shoehorned a building on a plot in which it was not designed for , " the council 's planners said in a report outlining the rejection . " New @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' fit in ' and not ' stand out ' unless clear justification can be demonstrated . " There appears to be no regard to this in this proposal other than plot maximisation and gain . The character of the existing plot structure and existing street scene will be eroded significantly . " Other planning officers said : " The proposal in my view is a cramped form of development ; shoe-horned into small area that provides parking for the existing property . " Brookfields Road is characterised by mainly semi-detached family housing and flats in this location are considered to be out of keeping . " One objection was raised by a neighbour in Brookfields Road about parking problems . Six parking spaces were included in the application and Sandwell Council 's highways department raised no objections . But while highways had no issues with the amount of parking spaces , the council 's planners did have a problem with the parking being placed at the front of the building .

Instead, it uses 'pulling out of attending' which does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'pulling out of attending' is more about the subject's decision rather than causing someone else to move or preventing someone from doing something.

When Wales head Down Under this week there are a number of areas they will need to address if they are to break a seven-Test losing streak . The set-piece will be high on the agenda , as will cutting out the sheer volume of unforced errors , but taking the attack up a notch or two will also be a priority . Wales were really gutsy against South Africa last Saturday and were able to put the Springboks under pressure but lacked a cutting edge with ball in hand . They manufactured the odd try-scoring opportunity which they failed to take , but on the whole there was a distinct lack of creativity with ball in hand . Despite finishing the Six Nations with a Wooden Spoon , Wales ' attack actually was n't bad during the Six Nations as they scored the joint second-highest amount of tries , with 12 .

Cardiff playmaker Ben Thomas is someone who has the skillset to add a different dimension to the Wales back-line , although he is untested as an international . Thomas is a lovely footballer with a tremendous passing game , tons of peripheral vision and an accurate kicking game . He is a creative player who can manipulate defences and put others into space .

Sigewinne is a 5-Star Hydro character who was added to Genshin Impact during version 4.7 . While Sigewinne is featured as the boosted 5-Star character on her Romaritime Meluserenity Banner in version 4.7 , she will eventually return to Genshin Impact at some point in the future when the Banner schedule cycles back to her . If you want to prepare for if you get her , we 've listed Sigewinne 's Ascension materials and Talent materials so you can level her up to her full potential right away . To understand how you might play her , we 've also detailed what we know about Sigewinne 's kit and Constellations . Sigewinne is a 5-Star Hydro character who uses a bow and scales off HP , and she seems to be best used in a healer role with bonus Hydro application . Sigewinne also seems to work particularly well with those who use Bond of Life in their kits . Here 's a summary of Sigewinne 's kit in Genshin Impact : Image credit : HoYoverse @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Weapon : Bow . Normal Attack : Targeted Treatment . Elemental Skill : Rebound Hydrotherapy . Elemental Burst : Super Saturated Syringing . Passive one : Requires Appropriate Rest - Sigewinne grants herself the ' Semi-Strict Bedrest ' effect for 18 seconds after using Rebound Hydrotherapy , which means Sigewinne gains an 8% Hydro danage Bonus and 10 stacks of Convalescence . When the Elemental Skills of nearby off-field party members other than Sigewinne deal damage , one stack of Convalescence is consumed , and increasing the damage dealt by this instance of Elemental Skill damage , with every 1,000 Max HP Sigewinne has above 30,000 increasing the damage by 80 . The maximum damage increase for Elemental Skills that can be gained in this way is 2,800 . Passive two : Detailed Diagnosis , Thorough Treatment - When Sigewinne performs healing , with the amount healed for this instance increased based on the total current value of the Bonds of Life on all party members . For each 1,000 HP worth of Bonds of Life , the outgoing healing is increased by 3% . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to 30% in this way . Exploration bonus : Emergency Dose - While underwater , Sigewiine heals your active character over 2.5 seconds when their HP falls under 50% . The amount healed is equal to 50% of their Max HP , and their All Elemental and Physical Resistance is decreased by 10% for 10 seconds . This effect can be triggered up to once every 20 seconds . Sigewinne performs up to three consecutive attacks with her bow if tapping the normal attack button . Holding it down instead makes Sigewinne go into a more precise aiming mode with increased damage . While aiming , Hydro builds up , and after fully charging , Sigewinne periodically fires slow-moving Mini-Stration Bubbles toward the target , dealing Hydro damage . When released , an arrow imbued with torrential energy deals Hydro damage to the opponent hit . As with most archer plunging attacks , Sigewinne fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground , dealing AOE damage upon impact . When no enemies are present , the Bolstering Bubblebalm bounces nearby instead , and only one Bolstering Bubblebalm created by a Sigewinne may exist at once . Holding the Elemental Skill button instead activates an aiming mode , and Sigewinne blows an even bigger Bolstering Bubblebalm . The bubble grows bigger the longer the skill is held , until it grows up to two tiers in size . For each tier of size it grows into , the bubble 's damage dealt to opponents it hits increases by 5% , and the healing it provides to nearby characters also increases by 5% . When a Bolstering Bubblebalm bounces , it drops @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a normal Bolstering Bubblebalm , and after weaker opponents are hit by big Bolstering Bubblebalms , they are imprisoned and are unable to move . Image credit : HoYoverse Additionally , two Sourcewater Droplets are created near Sigewinne when she uses her Skill , with each Sourcewater Droplet Sigewinne collects granting her a Bond of Life worth 10% of her maximum HP . When Sigewinne 's Bond of Life is cleared , she gains one Elemental Energy for every 2,000 HP worth of the Bond of Life that was cleared . Sigewinne can regain up to five Elemental Energy in this way . Lastly , as Sigewinne has Ousia-aligned Arkhe energy , Bolstering Bubblebalms periodically call down a Surging Blade on the position they hit an opponent , dealing Ousia-aligned Hydro damage based on Sigewinne 's max HP . Sigewinne takes out a special Fortress of Meropide-made syringe and covers the area in front with waves of kindness and medicine , dealing AOE Hydro damage based on Sigewinne 's Max HP . She also absorbs up to two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this skill . Lightless Eye of the Maelstrom . Image credit : HoYoverse To get the most out of using Sigewinne , you will have to level her skills up by using Talent materials , which vary from character-to-character . For Sigewinne , you 'll need to farm a lot of Transoceanic and Equity materials ( if you do n't already have them ) to fully upgrade her capabilities . As Sigewinne has three Talents , you will have to spend three times the Talent materials listed below to fully upgrade all of her abilities , which we 've also detailed below the table . Here 's what Sigewinne Talent materials you need to improve one of her abilities : Just like Talents , you need to use Sigewinne Ascension materials to upgrade her health , attack , defence , and critical hit effectiveness . You 'll need to farm a lot of Romaritime Flower and Transoceanic materials for Sigewinne ( if you do n't already have them ) to fully @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only need to spend the below Ascension materials once to fully raise Sigewinne to her highest character level . There is also Acquaint Fate rewarded for reaching certain Ascension levels . You can spend this Fate on the standard and beginner Banners to Wish for characters and weapons . Here 's what Sigewinne Ascension materials and Mora you need to upgrade her for each Ascension level : By getting duplicates of Sigewinne from wishing on her Banner , you will receive her Stella Fortuna . This material allows you to unlock Constellation levels , with each upgrade either improving an existing Talent or Passive ability . Image credit : HoYoverse Here are all of Sigewinne 's Constellations in Genshin Impact : " Can the Happiest of Spirits Understand Anxiety ? " ( C1 ) : Her Skill 's Bolstering Bubblebalm can bounce three extra times , and the first three bounces of her Bolstering Bubblebalms wo n't cause a big Bubblebalms to become smaller . Additionally , the ' Requires Appropriate Rest ' Passive Talent is enhanced and each Bubblebalm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The values for the Convalescence stacks ' damage bonus is modified to every 1,000 maximum HP Sigewinne has above 30,000 increases the damage by 100 . The maximum damage increase for Elemental Skills that can be gained in this way is 3,500 . " Can the Most Merciful of Spirits Defeat Its Foes ? " ( C2 ) : When using her Elemental Skill and Burst , Sigewinne can create a Bubbly Shield worth 30% of her maximum HP that absorbs Hydro damage with 250% efficiency . The Bubbly Shield will persist until Sigewinne finishes using relevant skills . Additionally , when her Skill 's Bolstering Bubblebalm or Elemental Burst hits an opponent , that opponent 's Hydro Resistance is decreased by 35% for eight seconds " Can the Healthiest of Spirits Cure Fevers ? " ( C3 ) : Increases the Level of Sigewinne 's Elemental Skill by three , with a maximum upgrade level of 15 . " Can the Loveliest of Spirits Keep Decay at Bay ? " ( C4 ) : The duration of Sigewinne 's Burst is extended by three seconds . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? " ( C5 ) : Increases the Level of Sigewinne 's Elemental Burst by three , with a maximum upgrade level of 15 . " Can the Most Radiant of Spirits Pray For Me ? " ( C6 ) : When Sigewinne heals , she increases the Crit Rate and Crit Damage of her Burst based on her maximum HP . For every 1,000 of maximum HP she has , Crit Rate increases by 0.4% and Crit Damage by 2.2% for 15 seconds . The maximum increase achievable this way is 20% Crit Rate and 110% Crit Damage .

When not damaging her vocal cords , Jessica likes stressing over her inventory in RPGs , and getting lost in open worlds . |

Demon 's Souls is the precursor to the Dark Souls series , and , in many ways , you can see it as a testing bed for many of the ideas that would become a staple of the action RPG genre moving forward . While this video game remake is undoubtedly different from the original in terms of visual style , the majority of enemy designs remain unchanged .

( Image credit : Insomniac Games ) Ratchet & Clank have played an important part in making PlayStation as successful as it is these days . In this Ratchet & Clank remake , they return , in a revised version of the first game 's story . Wacky weapons delight while cutscenes dazzle . Ratchet & Clank was very popular indeed in the early to mid-2000s , before falling out ion favor with players and critics alike . This was largely due to there being too many games , of middling quality , and which covered a huge breadth of genres and mechanics . The video game remake on PS4 strips things back to basics , revisiting the story from the first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the wacky weapons and platforming that made the early games in the series so beloved . There 's real work put into the cutscenes too , which pull scenes from the movie of the same name . Excellent voice acting and a truly lovely narrative about a kid trying to find his place in the Universe makes Ratchet & Clank a great choice for families , though people of all ages will certainly find a lot to love as well . Strangely , while you can play its sequel , Ratchet & Clank : Rift Apart , on PC , this remake is only available on PlayStation platforms . Even so , it 's a great game in its own right and the perfect throwback to when 3D platforms reigned supreme . This excellent blast from the past neatly combines the first two games in the iconic franchise . Head back to maps like Hangar and School II as you rack up trick points , collect secrets and customize your very own skating superstar . Tony Hawk 's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is a video game @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one that introduces mechanics from later games to help bring them into the modern day . This Frankenstein 's monster of a game therefore represents the best of the series , with the best maps meeting the best gameplay we 've seen in a skating game so far . Customization is a major focus in the latest Pro Skater game , allowing you to slowly unlock more and more styles for your skater . All of the major players are still involved , however , from Tony Hawk himself to new skaters like Leo Baker . There are few genres that evoke the nostalgia that skating games do . For a long time , they were a staple of gaming , helping to continue the popularity of score-based experiences , and ushering in an era where licensed music became a vital selling point for sports games and racing games . The best part ? You can play this remake on pretty much anything , even Nintendo Switch and PC . Final Fantasy 7 Remake gives players the chance to spend some time with iconic characters like Cloud @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ perspective on a decades-old story . The combat is fast , fluid , and complex , set against the backdrop of a truly beautiful world . Final Fantasy 7 is a pillar of gaming history , and with the remake now out , it 's easy to see why . This one is definitely more than a remake , given that it remixes some key plot points while setting up an entirely new game , but there 's plenty that will be familiar to those who played the original . Given the rather lofty expectations it had to reach when it launched back in 2020 , Final Fantasy 7 Remake really hit the mark . Not only is it one of the best RPGs you can play right now , it 's one of the series ' best in years . The thing to realize here is that Final Fantasy 7 Remake only deals with roughly a third of the original 's story . It sets up a new sequel in very interesting ways , and we ca n't wait to get our hands on Final Fantasy 7 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , PS5 , or PC to play this one , and if you do , consider picking up the version that includes Integrade , as you 'll get some extra content including Yuffie Kisaragi . Much has been said of Naughty Dog 's masterpiece , so we 'll just say this , The Last of Us Part 1 is the best way to play what is likely to be considered one of the most important games of the last 20 years . The Last of Us Part 1 offers a from-the-ground-up video game remake of the PS3 exclusive . This time around , there are little tweaks to crafting , gunplay , and even character models . It 's a truly stunning thing to look at , one that easily proves itself as one of the best PS5 exclusives you can play in 2024 . If you 've played The Last of Us , or its PS4 Remastered version , you 'll still get something out of this recent remake . If you 've never played it before , then this is the best way to do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the sequel . Thankfully , you can play The Last of Us Part 1 on PS5 and PC , with the PC version really pushing the boat out in terms of graphics . However you choose to play , you 'll be in very safe hands indeed . ( Image credit : Sony Interactive Entertainment ) The next video game remake is technically Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth , which will remake some sections of the original game while adding in new elements and characters . Beyond that , there 's the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake , as well as a Silent Hill 2 remake . These days , the lines between remaster and remake often get blurred . In our eyes , a remake tends to be from the ground up , using new assets and a new development cycle .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It involves the phrase 'rotating out of high-flying AI stocks', where 'out of' is followed by an NP ('high-flying AI stocks') rather than a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the sentence does not yield a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Nvidia short sellers have raked in nearly $5 billion in paper profits from the AI chip designer 's sharp selloff over the past three sessions , according to data analytics firm Ortex Technologies . The stock has slumped 13% and lost $430 billion in market capitalization since June 18 , when it briefly became the world 's most valuable company following a meteoric rise . Short sellers made $2.40 billion off Nvidia 's 6.6% fall on Monday , Ortex said , the highest one-day gain since the start of their data in 2019 . Some market participants have attributed Nvidia 's pullback to investors rotating out of high-flying AI stocks and into other sectors as 2024 approaches the half-way mark . Despite recent declines , optimism around Nvidia 's role in powering the artificial intelligence boom has driven the stock up 145% this year , the second-best performer on the S&P 500 .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'out of betting on it' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the means by which the subject made money, which is not consistent with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Alister Jack 's stumble onto centre stage in the great betting scandal is the stuff of comedy . By common consent , Mr Jack only finds himself in the spotlight because he told a BBC reporter , after the election was called , that he had made a tidy sum out of betting on it to take place in July . Now , if one thinks that one has done something wrong and does n't want anyone to know about it , sharing such a jolly anecdote with a BBC reporter does not seem the most likely way to secure that outcome . When Mr Jack protests that he did n't have a clue about when the election would be held , it is not difficult to believe him . There is a quaint other-wordliness about it -- a Cabinet Minister who does n't think it remotely odd , far less potentially illegal , that he should be placing bets about when his Prime Minister will call @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ person in London expected to have inside knowledge . I 'm sure he is looking forward to the Lords . Rishi Sunak failed to put gambling controversy to bed ( Image : free ) All this makes Mr Jack 's case somewhat different from the others involving Tory politicians and members of Mr Sunak 's high command though public perceptions are unlikely to differentiate . What the public see is an almost unbelievably convenient metaphor for the last 14 years -- a circle of privileged people with an eye for the main chance and the lure of easy money . The first to emerge , Craig Williams , obligingly resembled Little Britain 's idea of what a Tory MP , caught with his hand in the sweetie jar , should look like . It was hard to believe that this guy had been Rishi Sunak 's Parliamentary Private Secretary ( or " closest aide " in shorthand ) , far less to understand how he could conceivably have thought it OK to both hold that position and bet ? 100 at 5-1 on the month of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ! I suppose the only reason Sunak did not act sooner to suspend Mr Williams and the woman candidate in Bristol was that he thought there might be more to follow , though I doubt if he expected Alister Jack to appear out of the panelled walls clutching his bookie 's slip . There still might be . It would always be dangerous to under-estimate avarice among those for whom wealth is never enough when they are surrounded by people who are even richer . Of course , I must also refer to the Labour candidate suspended for placing a bet though it 's difficult to know what to file this one under . Stupidity seems a reasonable option . This curious individual bet against himself winning in a constituency where there was a Tory majority of 23,391 in 2019 . Even in current circumstances , the odds of him not winning must have been at least 200-1 on . ( i.e. risk ? 200 to win ? 1 ) . Whatever he was guilty of , it was not gambling acumen though his bet is even safer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Election campaign have been dominated by a story about betting is certainly not due to the sums of money involved . Sunak could have more or less killed it off if he had acted more promptly . Who , by now , remembers what was dominating the headlines three weeks ago ? Oh dear , I 've forgotten . But he did n't act , probably for the reason I have suggested and so on it has dragged , until desperate Tory candidates persuaded him it was coming up on these legendary doorsteps and further reducing their prospects . I 'm sure the betting story has indeed made an impression both as metaphor and an easily understood abuse of position for personal gain . However , there are far bigger fraudulent fish to fry which have done infinitely more damage to the Tories . Voters have not forgotten the crooks and charlatans -- no names , no law suits -- who saw Covid not as a human tragedy but an opportunity to push their way to the top of a VIP queue in order to add to their fortunes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . That has barely been mentioned during the campaign but is a far more deeply embedded memory from the past few years than hundred quid bets at the Westminster bookie will prove to be . It was around that time , reinforced by the age of Truss , that judgments were formed which would prove irreversible . The General Election campaign has been a confirmatory exercise for swathes of former Tory voters who needed no further persuasion and were just waiting to take revenge . Alister Jack told a journalist about the bet ( Image : free ) To that extent , Keir Starmer 's job was not to inspire but to avoid frightening them away . Anyone who does not understand why Labour had to be cautious in what it promised if it was to climb its own electoral mountain , in Scotland as elsewhere , need only have listened to the prognostications this week of Mr Paul Johnson from the Institute of Fiscal Studies , who appears to be granted without question the status of Nostradamus . The annoyingly smug Mr Johnson 's mission @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no matter who is in government . So what 's the point ? If Labour had given Mr Johnson and his colleagues enough fiscal rope to hang them with , they would have revelled in the task . As it is , Starmer has set out to reassure without raising unrealistic expectations . The opportunities to go beyond that will only arise if and when Labour has won , so just get there first . There is nothing dishonest in that -- just common sense . It is a mistake to think these calculations exist only within leafy suburbs or red walls of England . I am sitting in a constituency where the Tories used to lose their deposit but polled nearly a quarter of the votes in 2019 . It 's the same in many Scottish seats which Labour aims to recover and needs these votes . That will depend on trust which , as the Tories have discovered , is a lot easier to lose than to win back .

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('His sister') + V1 ('talk') + NP object ('him') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('shooting his ex-girlfriend'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the sister prevents him from shooting his ex-girlfriend by means of talking. The NP object 'him' functions as a causee, and the verb 'talk' fits into the category of verbs that achieve a goal by means of verbal persuasion.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. The verb 'talk' is used in the V1 slot, which fits the classification of verbs that appear in this construction (by means of verbal persuasion). The NP subject 'His sister' is an animate agent, and the NP object 'him' is a causee who participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'shooting his ex-girlfriend'. The sentence gives rise to a prevention interpretation, as it implies that the sister prevented him from shooting his ex-girlfriend by talking to him. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The phrase 'pulling out of attending' does not involve a causer and a causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Christine McGuinness has once again been flooded with compliments as she gave fans a glimpse at her latest look as she beat her nerves to present an award at a showbiz event . The model and media personality attended the 2024 Tric ( Television and Radio Industries Club ) Awards on Tuesday ( June 25 ) . She admitted on social media that she was ' nervous ' to be heading up on stage to present a gong , which was later seen to be the factual award which was handed to ITV 's documentary Mr Bates Vs The Post Office -- The Real Story which accompanied the ground-breaking drama series , Mr Bates Vs The Post Office . Sharing a video from inside Grosvenor House in London where the Tric Awards took place , Christine said on her Instagram Story : " I 'm presenting an award today . I get soooo nervous ! But every time it gets a bit easier . " She added : " Thank you @tricawardsuk for having me . " The mum-of-three later declared : " I did it ! " as she shared a video of her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ awards host Roman Kemp , before cracking on with news of who picked up one of the many gongs on offer on the night . Taking to Instagram later , Christine shared a string of snaps as she showed off her glamourous look for the evening . The 36-year-old cut a stunning figure as she donned a bright white tweed dress with a subtle geometric print . The short style with a halterneck exposed Christine 's bronzed glow from top to toe as she exposed her feet in pair of strappy silver heels . Meanwhile , the former Real Housewives of Cheshire star wore her blonde tresses in curls and stuck to a bronze pallet with her makeup , topping off with a glossy nude lip .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'pulling out of attending' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the subject's own decision to not attend, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Christine McGuinness has once again been flooded with compliments as she gave fans a glimpse at her latest look as she beat her nerves to present an award at a showbiz event .

Taking to Instagram later , Christine shared a string of snaps as she showed off her glamourous look for the evening . The 36-year-old cut a stunning figure as she donned a bright white tweed dress with a subtle geometric print . The short style with a halterneck exposed Christine 's bronzed glow from top to toe as she exposed her feet in pair of strappy silver heels . Meanwhile , the former Real Housewives of Cheshire star wore her blonde tresses in curls and stuck to a bronze pallet with her makeup , topping off with a glossy nude lip .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'opt out of receiving Child Benefit payments' involves the verb 'opt' which does not fit the semantic classes of verbs typically used in the construction (e.g., deception, force, persuasion). Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Parents could be stripped of their Child Benefit under little-known HMRC rules . Finance experts have warned people to be aware of the way that eligibility for the payment is worked out . At present , under changes that came into effect in April , Child Benefit starts to be reduced when one parent earns more than ? 60,000 , a rise on the previous ? 50,000 . Eligibility to the benefit is removed entirely at ? 80,000 , an increase on the previous upper limit of ? 60,000 . The changes mean that if you or your partner earn less than ? 60,000 per year , you can claim the full amount of Child Benefit - but once one of you earns over ? 60,000 , you have to pay some of it back to HMRC under a tax called the High Income Child Benefit Charge ( HICBC ) - this has been halved and is now set at 1 per cent for each ? 200 earned over ? 60,000 . However , there are specific rules to bear in mind on how income is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ eligibility of Child Benefit and its recent changes , including how parents may be financially affected . He explained : " The threshold for Child Benefit eligibility currently stands at ? 80,000 but it 's important to note that this figure includes the value of certain work benefits . " When considering eligibility for Child Benefit , it 's important to understand that the calculation extends beyond basic salary . For instance , a parent earning below the cap may find themselves ineligible if the value of their benefits , such as a company car or fuel allowance , goes over the threshold . " Deductions can be made for certain expenses , such as pension contributions , tax-deductible business expenses , and costs related to schemes like the cycle-to-work scheme . These deductions play a key role in determining the final adjusted gross income for Child Benefit purposes . " People may be eligible for Child Benefit if they are responsible for a child under 16 and live in the UK . Figures show 6.91 million families are in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ increased weekly rate of ? 25.60 for an eldest or only child and ? 16.95 per child for additional children . Families now receive up to ? 1,331 a year -- an annual increase of ? 83.20 - for one child and up to ? 881 a year per additional child -- an annual increase of ? 54.60 . There is no limit to how many children families can claim for . Guidance on GOV.UK says : " Raising the HICBC threshold will ensure the charge continues to withdraw Child Benefit from high-income families as it was designed to do , by gradually withdrawing Child Benefit from individuals who have an adjusted net income in excess of ? 60,000 , and fully withdrawing Child Benefit from individuals who have an adjusted net income of ? 80,000 or higher , without unfairly penalising those on middle incomes . " By halving the rate at which HICBC withdraws the Child Benefit gain , the government is improving people 's incentives to continue working or take up more hours . " " New claims to Child Benefit are automatically backdated by three months , or to the child 's date of birth ( whichever is later ) . For Child Benefit claims made after April 6 , 2024 , backdated payments will be treated for HICBC purposes as if the entitlement fell in the 2024 to 2025 tax year if the backdating would otherwise create an HICBC liability in the 2023 to 2024 tax year . " Tax expert Andy Wood added : " It 's worth noting that over the first 16 years of a child @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? 17,000 in Child Benefit payments if their income falls below the ? 80,000 cap . " The recent changes in Child Benefit thresholds signify a concerted effort to align support with evolving economic realities . With the lower threshold raised to ? 60,000 and the upper threshold extended to ? 80,000 , a broader spectrum of families can access financial assistance . " The policy of fully withdrawing Child Benefits for individuals earning over ? 80,000 , where some parents may need to repay a portion due to the High Income Child Benefit Charge , prioritises individual income over household earnings . This approach ensures a precise assessment of eligibility , channelling resources effectively to those who require support . " Get breaking news on BirminghamLive WhatsApp .

The political uncertainty surrounding South Africa 's general election has done little to dampen enthusiasm for Cape Town 's booming office-rental market . Source : Supplied . Aerial view of the new Cape Town Collective . According to findings in the latest Rodes Report from property economists Rode & Associates , the Mother City continues to be the best-performing office rental market in the country , a status it has held since 2022 . Despite years of load shedding and the impact of the pandemic , office rentals in Cape Town were 6% higher at the end of last year compared to 2019 . The boom is driven mainly by Cape Town 's success in service delivery and electricity supply , as well as the resurgence of tourism . These factors have led investors from other provinces to relocate their businesses and families to the city . At the same time , multinational companies have also seen the value of Cape Town as a burgeoning new investment and business-friendly destination . The influx of visitors and investors into the Cape Town residential property market has increased the demand for office space substantially . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more residents requiring office space and services . Another contributing factor has been the relative decline of commercial stock within the Cape Town CBD due to large-scale residential conversions of existing office buildings over the past decade . This has led to tenants frantically competing for available office space and too often unable to secure premises . But now , thanks to serviced office space specialist Cape Town Collective ( CTC ) , there is a solution that is tailor-made for modern businesses and falls well within their respective rental budgets . On Monday , 15 July 2024 , CTC will launch a new collective workspace at the prestigious Wale Street Chambers building in the CBD that is ideally suited to small to medium-sized enterprises and businesses looking to upscale , including entrepreneurs and start-ups . Without question , this is no ordinary co-working option . Here , tenants will find works by world-renowned artists on display in all offices and common areas , open-air courtyards with access to a barista caf ? and pause area , and an online portal that conveniently manages their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where business , technology and art intersect , " explains Jeffrey John Kleu , investor and developer for the Klarey Property Group . " We offer dedicated private offices -- comprising one to 16 desks -- with shared facilities , including full-house video conferencing , boardrooms and meeting rooms . These are complemented by a full suite of tech services , including a 1 000mbps dedicated fibre line , high-tech security with facial recognition access control , high-volume printing , Voip and call-answering services , all controlled by a CRM app on your phone . " Fully furnished , serviced offices In addition , an electricity charge is included , and backup power is provided for all offices and services . Custom desks with ergonomic office chairs are another outstanding feature . There is even a putting green for those who like to " work on their game " during downtime periods . In short , tenants walk into a fully furnished and serviced office with a receptionist greeting their visitors and fielding their calls , board rooms , printing facilities , high-speed internet , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to mingle and socialise with colleagues . This takes the " hassle " out of locating and organising all of this themselves and allows them to concentrate on their business . In terms of pricing , CTC has made affordability its top priority . Private offices start from as little as R7,000 a month , while an eight-person office comes in at R20,000 monthly . The Collective also recognises that remote work is part of everyday business operations and has responded accordingly by establishing a " virtual office/address " offering . " Remote workers can lease CTC 's physical infrastructure as and when needed , " Kleu says . " Our Professional ( R955/pm ) , Global ( R1,495/pm ) and Executive ( R1,995/pm ) virtual office/address packages offer a variety of options . A Professional package , for example , provides the user with a prestigious business address , a dedicated telephone line with a call/message handling service , and a base where documents or packages can be received . " At the other end of the scale , our Executive package also includes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and meeting rooms , and eight free boardroom/meeting room hours per month . " Yet CTC has taken its offering even further with its " pay as you use " option . For example , full-day hot desks can be secured for only R280 , while half-day use of a boardroom starts from R1,650 . " It 's no secret that office space in Cape Town is in extremely high demand , and CTC is meeting that demand at the Wale Street building , " Kleu says . " The nature of the working environment has changed radically since the pandemic , and CTC has kept pace with these changes by offering solutions for all kinds of businesses , whether they follow the in-office , hybrid or remote working model .

Welcome to the world of political betting , something largely unheard of by most of the general public before the Tory election gambling scandal - but which has actually been going on for years and become something of a Westminster addiction .

Up to 15 Conservative candidates and officials are being investigated in the probe , according to BBC Newsnight . Meanwhile , cabinet minister Scotland secretary Alister Jack also admitted he put three wagers on the timing of the poll , but denied breaking any rules and said he is not under investigation . But while for voters it 's another example of same-old Tories profiting from power , Fluttergate has also thrown a spotlight on a pastime which experts say is more common inside the Westminster bubble than most people imagine . Three Tory candidates are being looked into in the betting scandal Paul Motty , a former professional political gambler who now sets the political odds for betting site BetOnline.ag , says : " Among the people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ landscape for a long time . " It 's quite normal , and for those in Westminster it seems to be a never ending conversation . Guessing the election date is a classic example , but it 's not just that , it 's everything .

I ca n't imagine there are many people connected to horse racing who do n't have a bet , and that 's the same in the world of politics .

" But he also says politicians are gamblers " by their nature " . " They are highly switched on to what 's happening around them , take a lot of interest in data and many are risk takers , so betting does lend itself to that . There is also a lot of unpredictability in politics , something can happen which can suddenly change the outcome .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses the phrase 'get the most out of using Changli', where 'using Changli' is a gerund phrase acting as the object of the preposition 'out of'. This does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'the joy being sucked out of playing for England again' does not involve a V1 verb acting on an NP object to cause a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a state where joy is being removed from the experience of playing, which does not align with the defined properties of the construction.

Southgate remains resolute in his focus despite accepting he is probably the reason why England 's " world is different " to any other team going for Euro 2024 glory right now . Among the favourites to go all the way this summer , poor performances have overshadowed the Euro 2020 runners-up 's progress to the knockout phase as Group C winners . England edged past Serbia 1-0 in their opener before riding their luck in last week 's 1-1 draw with Denmark , leading to boos at the final whistle in Frankfurt . That anger went up a notch on Tuesday despite the 0-0 draw with Slovenia seeing them top their group , with Southgate copping flak , and almost being hit by empty beer cups , when he went to applaud fans . But Southgate -- a veteran of four major tournaments as a player and now four as manager -- would rather be the lightning rod , albeit he is wary about the joy being sucked out of playing for England again . Asked if he would rather have the criticism directed at him , he said : " 100 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to keep the players right on track . " On the day of the game I showed them pictures of Italy celebrating their qualification with their fans , of Hungary celebrating when they did n't even know if they were through . " Denmark celebrating a draw against us , and they were on two points . Our world is different at the moment and I feel that is probably because of me . " I have to help the players as much as I possibly can because we brought the joy back into playing for England and we have to be very careful of where we head with it . " On whether he has any regrets given he felt it was down to him , Southgate said : " No , I do n't have any regrets . But we need everybody behind the team . " The England boss appears unmoved by the doubters as his sole focus is on guiding his players , who he felt took " a step in the right direction " against stubborn Slovenia despite the goalless @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those comments after a night when Southgate felt they faced " quite a unique environment " given the mood music . " No , I wo n't be backing away from anything , " Southgate said . " The fans were brilliant with the team in the second half . Absolutely brilliant . That 's so important . " Whatever the feeling is towards me , you 've got to get behind the team , and that 's crucial . " Players have loved playing for England the last six or seven years , we 've got to keep that -- we have to keep that . " If we do n't then , yeah . I understand the feeling towards me , but back the players , it 's crucial the fans back the players as they did in the second half . " Preparations are now under way for Sunday 's last-16 clash with Slovakia , who were confirmed as their opponents after Wednesday 's final pool matches . The Slovakians , who finished third in Group E , are the first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a summer to cherish from an England perspective . " We need the whole team , " Southgate said . " We need the whole team . " I 'm proud of what the players did , they showed the right mentality , they showed bravery in a difficult environment at times . " They showed patience and we did n't quite get what they deserved from the game but they have to keep going and in the end things will turn . " England need that upturn to come in Gelsenkirchen , where they narrowly beat Serbia in their Group C opener . Southgate has to decide what , if any , changes are made against Slovakia -- a match Phil Foden is expected to be back for .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('you must talk your way out of being eaten by a vampire'). It involves a prevention interpretation where the subject is attempting to prevent the object (implied 'yourself') from being eaten by a vampire. The verb 'talk' fits into the category of means by enticing, flattering, or verbal persuasion. The NP object 'your way' is a possessive way NP object coreferential with the subject, which is an atypical but acceptable form in the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'turfing the Tories out of Downing Street' involves a gerund ('turfing') but lacks the necessary NP object and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a political action without the causative semantics required by the construction.

VOTERS in a key Gwent constituency have been challenged over whether they want change or to vote " for the same old , same old " . Labour candidate Catherine Fookes delivered her party 's " change " theme at a hustings in Abergavenny as she is aiming to take the Monmouthshire seat represented by Conservative Welsh secretary David Davies .

Ms Fookes was first to break the rule when she described the local contest as a straight choice between her and Mr Davies from " David Cameron 's ' cut the green cr*p ' party " .

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('some') + V1 ('persuade') + NP object ('Jill Biden') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('talking her husband out of running'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the action is aimed at preventing Jill Biden's husband from running. The verb 'persuade' falls under the category of means to achieve a goal by enticing, flattering, or verbal persuasion. The NP object 'Jill Biden' is a causee who participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

At 6.15pm on Friday -- roughly 19 hours after the two presidential candidates left the stage in Atlanta the previous evening -- the verdict of the New York Times 's editorial board dropped online to the newspaper 's subscribers . The judgment was devastating . The US president , the board forcefully argued , had presented such an alarming spectacle of aged frailty that the best thing he could now do for the country he had served for more than half a century was to withdraw from the race and allow his Democratic party to choose another candidate . The newspaper long venerated as " the old Grey Lady " of American journalism pointed out that Biden had presented himself as the figure best positioned to defeat the threat to democracy represented by Trump -- and acknowledged that he had successfully done so in 2020 . " But the greatest public service Mr Biden can now perform is to announce that he will not continue to run for re-election , " it intoned . " As it stands , the president is engaged in a reckless gamble . There are Democratic leaders better equipped @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ second Trump presidency ... It 's too big a bet to simply hope Americans will overlook or discount Mr Biden 's age and infirmity that they see with their own eyes . " The judgment evoked memories of February 1968 , when Walter Cronkite , the magisterial CBS anchor , used his television platform to openly question the US military commitment in Vietnam after the Vietcong launched an offensive that led to guerrillas storming the US embassy compound in Saigon . Watching , President Lyndon Johnson -- another Democratic president , to whom Biden is sometimes compared -- reportedly said : " If I 've lost Cronkite , I 've lost Middle America . " Just over a month later , Johnson withdrew from that year 's presidential election , announcing he would not seek a second term . Times have changed since 1968 ; media has become more fragmented , with newspapers and , arguably , television less influential . Biden 's response to the editorial -- if he has even seen it -- is unknown . Yet the article echoed equally eviscerating critiques from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so respected by the president that their views can not have failed to wound . Similarly pleading with Biden to stand down were his favourite columnist , Tom Friedman -- also of the New York Times -- who wrote that he had wept as he watched the debate from Lisbon . Joe Scarborough , host of MSNBC 's Morning Joe -- a programme the president is known to revere -- had an identical message , all the while saying that he " loved " Biden and calling his presidency " an unqualified success " . The highly respected , and liberal , website the Atlantic published six articles on Friday , all arguing for an end to the Biden candidacy . Joe Biden with Elton John at a Stonewall ceremony in New York on Friday . Photograph : Angela Weiss/AFP/Getty Images The media cacophony reflected shock with the persona that Biden , 81 , presented in the debate . Rather than allay nagging voter concerns that he was too old to run -- his campaign 's goal when it pressed for the event -- he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ looked infirm and sometimes stuck for words , in contrast to Trump , who -- although just three years younger -- presented a picture of fluent , if mendacious , loquacity . Biden came out swinging on Friday , appearing much more upbeat at an election rally in North Carolina , admitting that " I do n't debate as well as I used to " but telling a cheering crowd : " I know how to tell the truth ... I know how to do this job . I know -- like millions of Americans know -- when you get knocked down , you get back up . " Messages of public support poured in from Democratic luminaries including Barack Obama , Bill and Hillary Clinton , vice-president Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom , the governor of California . Yet the defiantly positive messaging is unlikely to soothe fears that reach into the upper echelons of the Democratic party and even into the White House itself .

Photograph : Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images " We were all a bit nervous about the debate , but no one thought it was going to be as bad as it was , " one West Wing staffer was quoted as saying . " The vibes are really bad . People feel demoralised . " The acid test may be whether demoralisation extends to Democratic donors -- a sensitive area , given that Trump has recently overtaken Biden in campaign fundraising after lagging for months . The early @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ panic among Democratic mega-donors in Silicon Valley , where some have emailed and texted each other about how to persuade Jill Biden , the first lady , into talking her husband out of running . One tech-industry donor who had planned to host Biden in a fundraiser reportedly cancelled the event because of the debate . The negative drumbeat has focused minds on alternatives if Biden does step aside . Two frontrunners would be Harris and Newsom , yet both have vulnerabilities . Harris , who would be the first woman of colour to be a main party 's presidential nominee , is plagued by low approval ratings barely higher than Biden 's , while Newsom 's term as governor of California has drawn criticism over high taxes , surging homelessness and rising housing costs . Other likely names are Gretchen Whitmer , the governor of Michigan , and Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro , both leaders of key swing states the Democrats need to win to keep the White House . Another possibility -- the Illinois governor , JB Pritzker -- a billionaire heir to the Hyatt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attacks on Trump . But with Biden apparently determined to stand his ground , it remains to be seen if the current discontent is strong enough to transform such speculation into reality . For that to happen , drastic action may be required , such as an eminent group of Democratic party elders approaching the president and persuading him to withdraw . Alternatively , one or more credible candidates could declare a public intention to challenge him -- potentially throwing the power of nomination to delegates at the Democratic national convention in August , an event that was expected to rubber-stamp Biden 's candidacy . Either scenario would take political will , yet neither is far-fetched , according to seasoned commentators . If either come to pass , Biden may end up reflecting that the New York Times 's withering verdict was indeed his Walter Cronkite moment . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'opt out of' which is a phrasal verb followed by a gerund, and there is no NP object that functions as a causee.

A woman who took ayahuasca 45 times in three months has described her experience as ' like watching a Netflix series ' of her ' past lives ' . Tatjana Strobel , 53 , and from Germany , took the hallucinogenic drink every other day during ceremonies at a retreat in Bolivia with a group of ten other attendees . Revealing her experience to DailyMail.com , she said she saw herself in a new role every time -- including a philosopher , a concertist , a witch and a prophet . The writer is overwhelmingly positive about her trips , claiming the drug combated her phobias of snakes and even death . Some of her most bizarre visions include ' marrying herself ' and discovering that she 's visited Plato 's fictional island of Atlantis . Ayahuasca , which is illegal in the US , has surged in popularity in recent years for its alleged ability to ' reset ' the mind and ease mental health woes . Retreats outside the US offering it have amassed a following of celebrities including Will Smith , Chelsea Handler and even Prince Harry . Tatjana Strobel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ayahuasca every other day over three months . She described the experience as like a ' Netflix series ' of her previous lives Among some of her more bizarre claims , Ms Strobel also said ayahuasca also revealed to her that she was ' from Atlantis ' and that there is a queue of souls waiting to come to Earth It is normally taken over a few days -- where the drink is handed out during ceremonies led by a ' shaman ' , or spiritual leader . Some retreats extend over a period of several weeks and involve attendees taking ayahuasca as many as 22 times . Shamans report taking it as many as 100 times per year . Ms Strobel decided to go on an extended retreat lasting three months in 2022 , after trying ayahuasca at least six times previously , and being ' curious ' about how the psychedelic might change her life . Describing her experience , she said : ' It was beautiful you know , it was like a series , when I finished one night I would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ different things nearly every time I took it . I was a concertist , I was a witch -- this happened many times -- I was a person who helped others give birth , I was a writer , I was a prophet , I was everything . ' ' It was really like watching a series on Netflix . ' The substance is known to cause extreme nausea and diarrhea in the minutes after ingesting . However , Ms Strobel says she had little concern about potential long-term effects . If she felt unwell , she 'd opt out of taking the drug the following day , she said . People take ayahuasca at retreats , such as the Ambi Resort in Colombia ( pictured above ) Users normally vomit after taking the drug , before experiencing a ' trip ' that lasts for several hours ( Shown above is the Ambi Resort in Colombia ) ' My body is very sensitive . It means that if I eat something that is not good for my body , I stop . ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Amazon rainforest , which are cooked into a stew and then consumed . Many users have previously described the taste as ' vile ' . These plants contain DMT , a schedule I substance in the US considered as dangerous as heroin , LSD and MDMA , which gives the drug its psychedelic properties . Experts say it can disrupt activity in the brain including communication between different areas , leading to the vibrant and colorful images that many users witness . Some scientists have explored the drug 's potential for treating post-traumatic stress disorder ( PTSD ) alongside ketamine , with small studies suggesting it could help to rewire the brain or allow people to ' re-process ' traumatic experiences . Research has also suggested it could improve brain health by boosting the production of a chemical that slows neurodegeneration . But concerns have been raised about potentially negative effects on mental health . One 2022 study found that at least half of 10,000 adults reported a negative mental health effect , including depression and hallucinations , in the weeks to months after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the Dell Medical School at the University of Texas , Austin said he would be ' concerned ' about patients taking this much ayahuasca . ' It is unclear whether frequent use could have detrimental effects on mental health and cognitive functioning ' . ' There are also concerns and reports of potential cardiac abnormalities . ' DMT is known to increase the heart rate while it is still active in the body . Andrew Gallimore , a computational neuroscientist at the Okinawa Institute of Science in Japan , added that he would be concerned over the dramatic purging -- or vomiting -- that could be caused , saying this risked dehydration and damage to the esophagus . He added : ' Aside from this , psychological integration of what is often an extremely intense and psychologically demanding experience is as important as the experience itself . ' This can take days or longer , so it 's hard to envisage how the experiences could be properly integrated when strung together in such rapid succession like this . ' Psychological integration after ayahuasca @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ insights into daily life and sense of self . A number of deaths have been reported among people who have taken ayahuasca , although in each case this has been linked to another substance taken alongside it . The cases include a 22-year-old in Florida who consumed ayahuasca mixed with kambo , a poisonous venom from a tree frog . He died after suffering a seizure caused by drinking excessive water after vomiting . Tatjana Strobel revealed her experience on a podcast with Alex Renko , a wealthy 15-year-old who regularly posts on social media about psychedelics Ms Strobel said she had always ' feared ' drugs -- steering clear of alcohol -- but decided to try ayahuasca in the hope it would enhance her life . The first time she took ayahuasca , she says she did n't throw up , earning her the nickname of the ' dominator ' . But by the end of the three month retreat , she became very sick . Dr Daniel Perkins , who runs the University of Melbourne 's Psychedelic Research Center and studies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ impact of the drug . He said a research paper he authored found lno association between the number of times ayahuasca has been consumed in the last year and adverse mental health effects . He added : ' But there is some association with reporting physical health adverse effects . By far the most common was vomiting or nausea at the time of use . ' Groups that organize ayahuasca retreats say that shamans may take ayahuasca up to 100 times a year and that it is regularly used in indigenous cultures without causing serious negative health effects . To others considering taking ayahuasca , Ms Strobel says : ' If you are on your way somewhere then it can help you , but if not it might not help you find who you are . ' |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'opted out of supporting' does not involve a transitive verb with an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'opted out of' is used intransitively, and 'supporting' is part of a prepositional phrase without the required construction properties.

Charlotte Trippier has unfollowed her husband Kieran on social media ( Image : **28;366;TOOLONG ) Charlotte and Kieran Trippier 's relationship is said to have hit the rocks ( Image : **28;396;TOOLONG ) Her posts , which mentioned overcoming difficulties and enjoying a sunny day , have led to rumors and rising concerns within the England camp .

Rubbish filled streets , overcrowded houses and public drug use have all become the norm in this market town in the North of England .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'sucking the joy out of hearing' involves 'hearing' as part of a noun phrase (gerund) rather than a VP[-ing] predicate with a causee. Additionally, there is no clear causer-causee relationship or a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

While Dua Lipa might have closed the Pyramid Stage with a bang on Friday night , it appears the real headline act at Worthy Farm was taking place hours earlier on the smaller West Holts Stage . A staggering amount of people showed up to watch 00s pop icons Sugababes blast through hits , but their all guns blazing show was tainted by panic in the crowd and people struggled not only to get a glimpse of Keisha Buchanan , Mutya Buena , and Siobhan Donaghy , but to move at all . Not long after the trio opened their set with hit Freak Like Me , people in the crowd started expressing concern about being so tightly packed in , with others trying to leave the crowd also vocalising panic . Aisha Nozair , The Mirror 's deputy showbiz editor wrote : " As soon as I rounded the corner towards West Holts Stage , it quickly became clear that the situation was chaotic . Stewards desperately tried to enforce a one-way system , but eager fans slipped through , with the crowd already pushing people up against the food vendors lining the area @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ organisers had missed a trick : Sugababes should have been on the Pyramid Stage . " The situation quickly became suffocating , with the swarms of people packed on top of each other sucking the joy out of hearing chart-toppers like From Hole in the Head to Freak Like Me and About You Now in the flesh . " It did n't take long for festival goers and those watching from home to take to X , formerly Twitter , to echo the sentiment . Shortly after the group 's set wrapped , one person wrote online : " Hey @ ? glastonbury Do take on some constructive feedback . After shutting down two stages in two years @ ? Sugababes deserve to and MUST be on pyramid next time round . " Someone else echoed : " Never seen a crowd like Sugababes at West Holts today .

" People seemed just as frustrated over on Reddit , where many accused the festival of overselling tickets . One person said : " It 's the one thing I do n't like about Glastonbury . Everywhere is totally rammed and you need to arrive an hour or more before any of the bigger sets ( Skream & Benga , Barry Ca n't Swim and the Sugababes worst so far ) . " In response , another festival goer said : " This was my experience two years ago and it has n't changed . They oversell it . It 's not fun .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It involves the verb 'got' with an NP object 'more pleasure' and the phrase 'out of painting pictures' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The NP object 'more pleasure' does not function as a causee, and the construction does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction as described.

Stephen Mee 's life of crime started small . As a child growing up as one of nine siblings in 1970s Newton Heath he would go shoplifting just to help put food on the table . In his teenage years he graduated to stealing and ringing cars . But by the early 90s he was trafficking millions of pounds of cannabis and cocaine across Europe with Curtis Warren and the Colombian narcos . How did a petty criminal from north Manchester become one of the UK 's most notorious drug traffickers ? Growing up ' poor ' in north Manchester , Mee says he committed his first crime aged nine when he burgled his own school . Then he began shoplifting in the local Tesco . " It 's been a life of struggle I suppose all the way , " he told Sky TV documentary Liverpool Narcos . " It 's the same in all poor areas , that if you 've not got enough food what do you do ? " By aged 13 , he was in Foston Hall young offenders institution in Derbyshire for stealing cars . And , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ described it as ' a brutal place . It was just violence all the way through ' - seemed to have straightened him out . In his early 20s he spent about five or six years ' legit ' running his own bicycle shop . But soon he got ' dragged back ' into the criminal underworld . Realising there was a lot of money to be made in cannabis , Mee teamed up with some pals and put together an audacious but na ? ve plan to travel to Amsterdam to buy the drug in bulk from the city 's coffee shops . Stephen Mee was once one of the UK 's biggest drugs smugglers ( Image : Sky Documentaries ) Remarkably it worked . After being turned away by 10 different cafes , they ended up buying a kilo of weed from a local chapter of the Hell 's Angels . Within months the gang were trafficking hundreds of kilos of cannabis per trip . " I put a couple of grand together and decided to go to Holland to buy some cannabis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ couple of days ' work , that lit up everything in my mind , it took us less than a week to go back and buy two and do the same again . " But by 1989 , Mee had expanded his operation to include cocaine . His first undertaking was carrying 24 kilograms of cocaine in a suitcase to Ecuador . " They put 24 kilograms in a case , that was all that was in the case , cocaine , " he said . " Then at the airport on this side , it was just down to taking the risk of getting it through . " I was smartly dressed , I just looked like a businessman . As you 're going through you 're just trying not to look at anybody , just keep walking . " Any sort of sniffer dog would pick it up even though it was covered in stuff mustard and piccalilli to stop that . " Curtis Warren ( Image : Liverpool Echo ) In 1991 he was caught by undercover police smuggling cannabis and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Strangeways he formed the friendship that would catapult him into the big leagues . " We had been to the same places - all over Europe , South America - done the same things , " Mee told the Second Chance podcast in December . " I used to do food for him , we used to play chess together . I got to know him pretty well . " Facing a lengthy spell behind bars , Mee began planning his escape . Because of the Strangeways riot he was moved to HMP Risley . How the M.E.N . reported Mee 's prison escape ( Image : M.E.N. ) But while being transported by coach to court to be sentenced he was sprung on the M62 . According to police records , the gang that assisted Mee were said to be armed , apparently with rocket launchers , although Mee denies this . He hid out in a flat in Toxteth , Liverpool for three months before flying by a private plane to the Netherlands . In the meantime the case against Warren collapsed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ criminal investigation , it was alleged Warren had set up a deal with the Colombian Cali Cartel to import ? 250m of cocaine into the UK . Now a free man , Warren also headed for the Netherlands where he hooked up with his prison pal Mee . And almost immediately they were back in the smuggling business . Mee , who in his absence had been convicted to 22 years in prison , built a reputation as a reliable middle-man , selling drugs smuggled in from South America across Europe . And the shipments kept getting bigger and bigger . " One one occasion I put ? 5m of cash in a car boot , " Mee told the Second Chance podcast . " I was driving about Amsterdam with ? 5m in the boot . I went about eight times to Colombia . Cartel boss Don Lucho was assassinated in 2021 " I was meeting with Lucho ( Luis Agustin Caicedo Velandia ) the head of the Cali Cartel in Bogota . I was the first person to meet them after 3,000 kilos went @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ though it was nothing to do with me . " But , back home in the UK , the drugs Mee and Warren were helping to import were fuelling an explosion in violence on the streets of Manchester and Liverpool as gangs battled for a slice of the lucrative cocaine trade . Police in the Netherlands and the UK joined forces with customs in a bid to crack the higher echelons of the importation and distribution network . Named ' Operation Crayfish ' , Dutch police tapped into Mee and Warren 's phone conversations . At first , they struggled to decipher their accents and backslang . Mee pictured in 1993 ( Image : M.E.N. ) But they made a big breakthrough when they discovered Mee had been sent to Columbia to meet the Cali Cartel in one of the biggest cocaine deals known to the UK . When the half tonne of cocaine arrived at Warren 's house , Dutch police moved in and arrested Warren , Mee and several other gang members . " It was done within seconds really , " Mee @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , flashbangs went in and stunt grenades went in . " Face downwards naked , they carried you by your hands and feet across the gravel into the back of a car . " Mee served seven years in a Dutch triple-A category maximum security prison . And this time there would be no escape . In 2004 , he returned to the UK to serve the 22-year sentence he had been given in 1993 . After a total of 15 years in prison , he was released in 2012 . Looking back , Mee says he saw himself as an ' international businessman moving quantities of a product from one country to another ' . " I know it was n't that , " he added . " I knew I was dealing in death , but while you are doing it you are not thinking of things like that . I am completely remorseful for what I did . Not only was it a waste of my life , it caused a lot of problems for everybody else . " None of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of it for a week of freedom with my family . " Now Mee says he 's turned his back on crime . A successful artist - he studied for a fine arts degree while behind bars - his paintings have been exhibited in London galleries and sell for thousands . " I 'm an artist , that 's all I do , " he says when asked to describe his life now . " I got more pleasure out of painting pictures than counting millions of pounds . I knew I had something to come out of prison to and that helped . It gave me the position where people could recognise I was trying and they would help me . " If you are trying , which nobody could say I have n't , eventually you get into a position where you can help people to do the same - that 's what I 'm trying to do at the moment .

" Battersea is close to Arabella 's heart as her parents also own a flat in the area and her brother Simon used to own a property .

" In the fickle industry I 'm in it 's really important to invest your money but also to have something that you have a passion for . Seeing my parents do up these amazing properties and seeing the outcome of that , I knew that was something I wanted to get into . She has recently bought a fixer-upper in her hometown , at an auction , and is excited to be putting her own stamp on the house . " It needs a lot of work , she says .

But , asked what her most extravagant purchase has been , she reveals her practical side . " I 'm not a massive spender , " she says . " I would n't say I am one of these people that sees a designer handbag and has to have it.I try and buy things that are more investments and I get a lot more enjoyment out of seeing my money being saved than spent .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it involves an opt-out scenario where the subject is not causing an object to move out of or preventing them from an action denoted by a VP[-ing] predicate. The phrase 'opt out of receiving our emails' is more about choosing not to participate rather than a causer causing a causee to move out of or preventing an action.

We try to make it obvious where that is the case . Privacy Notice Updates We may update this Privacy Notice from time-to-time by posting a new version on our websites . You should check this page occasionally to ensure you are happy with any changes . Where changes are material , we may also notify you of them by email . Data Protection and Journalism The UK In the UK the Data Protection Act 2018 provides an exemption from data protection laws to prevent unjustified interference with the work of journalists . We are members of the Independent Press Standards Organisation ( IPSO ) IPSO and therefore subject to the Editors ' Code Code . If you object to a story we have published that concerns you personally then you can find our complaints policy here UK Complaints , which explains how to raise a complaint and how we will handle it . Ireland In Ireland we subscribe to the Code of Practice of the Press Council of Ireland and the Press Ombudsman , which set the benchmark for high professional standards . If you believe that we have got something wrong , or that we have breached the Code of Practice , please let us know at the contact details of the publication concerned . The Code of Practice and details of how to lodge a complaint with the Press Ombudsman are available from : We are increasingly using Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) tools , to help us create and enhance our content . Meeting the data protection requirements of our consumers is at the forefront of our AI decision making so as our uses develop we will provide more information in this Privacy Notice . For more information see our AI Notice on each website footer . When you browse our websites or use our apps , we may collect technical and/or behavioural information about your use of our websites or other content online , and the device(s) you use to access the services . For example , this information may include details about how you browse our website and the devices and technology you use to browse our website . This may also include unique online identifiers such as device ID , device type , IP address and approximate location at the time of browsing . This may also include video viewing data and may link to your activity on other sites and allow us to recognise you or your device . We may use this to build a more detailed profile of you and your interests . We may also provide you with location-based services ( for example , advertising and other personalised content ) , where we collect geo-location data . Our advertising partners may receive some information about the device you are using and about what you look at and interact with . We do this for the purpose of choosing which adverts to show you , as well as to make our sites and apps work properly . It also allows us to diagnose problems with them and understand how they are used so we can make them better . Sometimes , we also apply a degree of personalisation in choosing which content to show you ( for example , by recommending articles similar to those you 've viewed previously ) . You can learn more about what we do with this information and why in the sections below . We combine the information you give to us ( for example , sign up information for newsletters and competitions ) with the information we receive when you use our websites and apps , and analyse it in order to help us to understand your preferences and interests . We then associate this with a unique identification number . This is then used to tailor the content and advertising that you see on our websites and in our apps , so it is more likely to be of interest to you . We do n't share this personalised analysis with anyone outside Reach . In particular , it is not shared with advertisers or with the third-party advertising networks that we work with other than in highly aggregated form so that your personal data can not be identified . 3.1.1 The data we collect and what we do with it The data we use for this purpose is as follows : The page you view , and associated information such as how long you spend on them . Your approximate location , to city or town level . Your email address , name and sometimes username and postcode , which we will receive when you sign up for an account on one or more of our websites or apps , when you subscribe to our newsletters or marketing , when you enter one of our competitions or when you complete one of our surveys . The newsletters and marketing you have subscribed to , the promotions and competitions you have entered and the surveys you have completed . We will analyse this information to infer interests , preferences , and demographic characteristics , and associate it with an internal identification number . For example , if our website analytics tell us that you are located in the approximate area of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and you read our online title ChronicleLive ( which is focused on local news for that area ) , and you sign up to receive an email newsletter about football from our national title The Mirror , then we could infer from that you are interested in things related to a local football club or to football generally . We then divide up our identification numbers into groups based on the inferences we draw about them . Those groups are called " audience segments " or " audiences " . So , for example , an identifier associated with Newcastle , ChronicleLive and the football newsletter could be allocated to audiences likely to be interested in football , and events near Newcastle-upon-Tyne . We then use those " audiences " to do two things : first , to help us to recommend content which is more likely to be interesting ( for instance , more articles about football ) , and second to help us to target advertisements when advertisers buy advertising space from us directly . The advertiser would never see the actual data that we use -- it remains with Reach at all times . All we would share with them would be the criteria we used to target their advert , how many times their advert was shown and how many people clicked on it ( but not who ) , so that they know how well the advert did and we know how much to charge them . 3.1.2 Our legal basis Your activity on our websites and in our apps can be managed by you using our " cookie banner " and related Consent Management Platform ( CMP ) . The vast majority are used on the basis of your consent where you provide it . Some may use our Legitimate Interest and some are Essential -- Please see our Cookie Notice for further information or the ' cog ' icon or link at the bottom of every webpage to manage your consents . When using our apps , if you want to change the settings , go to the ' My Account ' Link at the bottom of the screen which includes ' My Privacy ' and takes you to the CMP . We combine that information with the other things we know about you ( like your newsletter subscriptions ) on the basis of our legitimate interest in understanding our readership , both to serve you better and to make us more attractive to advertisers . This helps us to secure a future for news reporting and journalism in the age of social media , especially local news reporting and journalism . We keep the information about your activity on our websites and in our apps for up to up to three years since last browsing activity , with some anonymised browsing activity retained thereafter . 3.1.4 Who we share it with and why The data which we use to create the unique identifier and our " audiences " is shared with the partners who provide us with the technology powering it , most notably Upland Software and Lotame , who host core data management platforms for us . They act as our " processors " . This means that they are bound by law and contract to do only what we tell them to do with the data , to keep it safe , and not to share it with anyone else or use it for anything other than providing their service to us . 3.1.5 Whether we send it outside the country of collection Upland Software and Lotame are global businesses and so the data they host for us may be held outside of the country of collection . We have implemented the required safeguards as necessary ( for example , standard agreements and frameworks approved by the relevant authorities ) . Digital advertising helps us to fund the news articles and content published on our sites and enables us to provide some of our content for free . We and our third-party ad partners may display digital advertising on our sites that is tailored to your interests and preferences so the online adverts you see are more relevant to you . We work with third party ad networks to fill unsold advertising space on our sites and in our apps by auctioning it automatically through a process called " real time bidding " . These ad networks bid to show their ad to you when you visit our sites or use our apps . The ad networks exchange information through cookies , which allow them to recognise you when you visit any site that they work with ( not just Reach sites ) . Where we use cookies on our sites for advertising purposes , we ask for prior consent . The cookie information will be used along with other information we hold about you to display digital advertising that is more relevant to you . It is important to note , however , that where you do not provide your consent for digital advertising you will still see digital advertising on our sites , but this will not be tailored to your interests and preferences . Where you provide consent to using your data to create a profile for digital advertising we may also sell or share limited data types to our partners with whom we have a legally binding relationship for similar purposes ; typically data on the page content which you have shown an interest in and online identifiers , not direct identifiers such as your email address . Captify is one such partner . They may act as an independent controller of your data , and their privacy policy is shown here : Captify Privacy Policy 3.2.1 The data collected and how it is used On your first visit to one of our sites or apps ( and on other occasions to allow you to change your mind ) , you will be presented with a " cookie banner " . This asks you if you consent to the use of cookies and related technologies for the purposes of , amongst other things , selecting and delivering ads . If you do , then the ad networks will be able to recognise your device according to a unique identification number . We then send out a " bid request " to the advertising networks we work with . What that bid request says is , essentially , " ID number ABC123 has landed on our website , do you want to show this user an advert ? " The winner then gets to display their ad . The auction process happens automatically , in the second or so between you requesting the page and its loading and displaying . The data used by the ad networks to select the ad to show is held by them , not us , and we never see it . If we sell or share limited data to an ad partner , as described in 3.2 , it will be used for profiling and digital marketing on Reach websites and apps , and potentially other sites & apps with whom the partner has a relationship , if you have given permission for that site or app to do so . An important point to understand is that most of these ad networks will not know who you are in a " real world " sense . They will not know your name , or your email address , or your phone number ( we may know those things because you 've given them to us in other contexts , but we never share that information with them ) . We say " most " because there are two significant exceptions , which are Facebook and Google . They provide targeted advertising services based on the things they know about their users , and so if you are signed into your account with them on your device , they will be able to recognise you and associate your browsing history across sites that use their services . From time to time we may allow our clients to compare their customer database to ours using partner platforms such as InfoSum . This is called data matching and allows our partners to see if they can reach their audiences on our platforms and to understand if an advertising campaign would be effective . Generally this will be conducted at an aggregate audience level to provide insights , rather than individual level information , although your information may be used to generate these insights . For example , this could involve matching your hashed , pseudonymised email data with the same data held by our advertising clients . This then enables the advertiser to understand if you use their products and visit our sites , then to use this data to target bespoke advertising messages . Alternatively , we may allow advertising partners to build target audiences based on predefined attributes . These ' lookalike ' audiences may be similar to our partners ' existing audiences . For example , a sports brand may want to reach ' football enthusiasts ' . They could select audiences who have been identified as having an interest in these areas . To do this , we segment our audiences into groups depending on what we think they like or other behaviours . This helps them find the right audiences and we are able to show you more relevant advertising . The way we match your data could also involve working with partners such as LiveRamp Inc and Tradedesk and their group companies , acting as joint controllers . These partners use this information to create a secure online identification code for the purpose of recognising you for cross-channel advertising . This code is placed in our cookie , does not contain any of your identifiable personal data , and will not be used by them to identify you . It may be shared with our advertising partners and other third-party advertisers globally for the purpose of enabling interest-based content or targeted advertising through Reach sites . These third parties may in turn use this code to link demographic or interest-based information you have provided in your interactions with them to the pseudonymised code . Detailed information on LiveRamp 's data processing activities is available in LiveRamp 's privacy notice and opt-out here LiveRamp . Information on the Trade Desk 's use and how they work with partners can be found here EUID Privacy Notice . Alternatively to withdraw consent and object to targeted advertising based on the Trade Desk EUID activity click here . If you accept the use of cookies in our Consent Management Platform , when you submit your email address to create an account or sign-up to a newsletter or marketing we may share your email address in a hashed form with Amazon Publisher Services ( APS ) . APS then links the hashed email to a profile which they may already hold related to that address . The hashed email will be used in a secure , pseudonymised form within a cookie to flag to APS whenever you visit an APS enabled Reach website again . APS will use this to determine , in real-time , if any of their business customers want to market to a profile similar to yours . If this is the case they may initiate an advert which will appear to you on the Reach website concerned . The APS Privacy Notice can be found at APS PN . Withdrawing consent You have the right to withdraw your consent or opt-out to the processing of your personal data at any time via our Cookie Management Platform accessed via the ' cog ' icon or link at the bottom of every webpage . For example , we will only match your hashed , pseudonymised email with an advertiser in the Infosum platform , if you have consented to your data being used by our adtech provider Lotame . We will also only work with partners such as LiveRamp , as described above , if you have accepted cookies in our Consent Management Platform . Alternatively , if you would like to stop your email being used in this way please email **27;63;TOOLONG , stating ' opt out of hashed email ' . 3.2.2 Our legal basis Where required by applicable law advertising networks undertake this activity on the basis of your consent , which we ask for on their behalf through the ' cookie banner ' which appears when you first visit our site . The ' cookie banner ' message box will reappear from time to time in case you change your mind , or when something changes ( typically every 30 days ) . Please see our Cookie Notice for further information or the ' cog ' icon or link at the bottom of every webpage to manage your consents . When using our apps , if you want to change the settings , go to the ' My Account ' Link at the bottom of the screen which includes ' My Privacy ' and takes you to the CMP . Most of our third-party advertising partners operate within an industry framework and code of practice issued by the Internet Advertising Bureau ( IAB ) called the " Transparency and Consent Framework " , which sets out the technical means for your choices to be passed through the ad networks . It also requires that members adhere to IAB policies and standards of behaviour . Advertising partners who do not work within the IAB framework are listed separately in the platform which can be viewed in our Consent Management Platform ( CMP ) -- please see our Cookie Notice for further information or click on the ' cog ' icon or link at the bottom of every webpage . In the Consent Management Platform popup go to the ' Partners ' page and scroll down - IAB partners are listed first , then you 'll see Non-IAB vendors and finally Google partners . 3.2.3 How long we keep it for We do not ourselves hold a copy of the data gathered by the advertising networks . They will each have their own retention policies which you can find in their privacy notices linked through our ' cookie banner ' -- these are often short ( between 30 and 60 days ) , because shopping interests change over time . 3.2.4 Who we share it with and why When we participate in auctions for unsold advertising space , we send bid requests to third party advertising networks . You can find the list of third-party advertising networks who we work with by clicking on the ' cog ' icon or link at the bottom of every webpage and reviewing our Consent Management Platform . 3.2.5 Whether we send it outside the country of collection The digital advertising networks are global in nature and so , while we are predominantly a UK business , this data will travel across international borders , and in particular many automated advertising transactions will be processed in the USA . Where we are the ones making the transfer ( typically , we are not ) , we have implemented the required safeguards as necessary ( for example , standard agreements and frameworks approved by the relevant authorities ) . We use the information logged by our servers and certain third-party analytics tools ( such as Google Analytics , Amplitude , Mpulse and Hotjar ) to help us to spot problems with our digital services , such as page errors or slow loading times , as well as understanding usage patterns and watching for security problems . This may include statistical and analytical data about your visits and activity on our sites , such as the pages you view , how long for , and which links are followed . This helps us to improve the way we deliver content and the products and services offered to you . We also use this data to report on our performance , provide audience insights and measurement , and to sell advertising . We may also collect information from your devices that tells us whether you are using an ad blocker . This is so that we can manage our compliance with the law and also determine if we are able to show you advertising . We may also ask you to suspend or whitelist our sites or platforms so that we can show you adverts . You can find more information below . 3.3.1 The data we collect and what we do with it We gather data for this purpose in three ways . Firstly , our servers record certain information provided by your devices when they request content , consisting mostly of technical information about your device such as language , screen size and the features and functions it supports , but also including the internet or " IP " address from which it is connecting , and the page or data requested . The data is used for system performance , content delivery and security purposes . It is saved together with the dates and times the requests occurred into files stored on our servers called " logs " or " log files " . Secondly , on your first visit to one of our sites or apps ( and every so often again after your first visit ) , you will be presented with a ' cookie banner ' asking you if you consent to the use of cookies and related technologies for our use of analytics . If you do , then several " cookies " ( small text files ) will be stored on your device containing identification numbers . Those numbers can then be read on your subsequent visits to recognise your device , and our analytics providers will use that information to provide us with various reports and metrics on how our sites are used . Google also uses the data that it gathers as a result for other purposes , which you can read about in the Google Privacy Policy . If you wish to opt-out of the use of Google Analytics you can access and download the Opt-out browser add-on from here : GA Opt-Out Thirdly , we also work with the analytics provider Amplitude , who collect measurement data on our behalf , as our processor . They collect this data for us , using their cookie , and only process your data with your consent . If you do not consent they will only provide us with anonymised data . We process the personal data captured in our server log files on the basis of our legitimate interest in monitoring our systems , understanding how they are used , fixing problems with them , and for security monitoring and management purposes . We process the data for determining an adblocker , on the basis of legitimate interest . As a predominantly advertising funded business , we do rely on our ability to show you advertising to help ensure we are able to provide you with the products and services you request . We process the personal data captured by our analytics providers on the basis of your consent , which we ask for through a " cookie banner " which appears when you first visit our site . That message box will reappear from time to time in case you change your mind ( typically every thirty days ) , and on your first visit after we make a significant change . 3.3.3 How long we keep it for We keep the information in our server log files for up to 90 days , depending upon the log type and purpose . Our analytics providers will keep the information they gather from our sites and apps in line with their own privacy notices , which you can access through our ' cookie banner ' and Consent Management Platform ( see the ' cog icon ' or link at the bottom of every webpage ) . 3.3.4 Who we share it with and why We use AWS and CloudFront to help us to analyse our server log files . They act at our direction , as our " processor " . The information gathered using Google Analytics is held by Google and is made accessible to us by Google through various dashboards and reporting tools . The following providers are key to providing additional website analytics or diagnostic capability : The technology providers we use are global businesses . The data is located in Ireland with some being routed through AWS outside of the UK and EEA . We have implemented the required safeguards as necessary ( for example , standard agreements and frameworks approved by the relevant authorities ) . We provide news and updates about our sites via push notification messages or ' pop-ups ' . This is a free service . Our legal basis is consent , as the notifications are only sent to you if you have clicked on a button to allow it ( you may have accidentally selected to receive notifications ) . We have no control over your subscription to notifications as it is controlled by your browser and device . We do not store any recognisable data about you or your device in connection with the push notification service . We use your email address and the other information that you give to us as part of the account creation process to operate your account and provide those functions . When you are signed in with your Reach account , we will also have the ability to associate your account details with the information we gather through our analytics tools about how you use our sites . 4.1.1 The data we collect and what we do with it When you create an account we may collect your name and email address . For services that provide local information ( like InYourArea ) we will also collect your postcode and any associated areas of local interest that you want to be updated about . If you subscribe to a paid version of our sites such as Express Premium we will collect your payment details , in order for us to fulfil your subscription . For more information on subscriptions see 9 . When you subscribe to our print or " Digital Edition " titles . Some services may let you upload your own content to our sites , such as comments or pictures . Those things will , by the nature of the service , be generally visible on the site . Your comments may be used in print , online or on the social pages for brands owned and published by Reach plc . We may also record what types of content you have commented on , and associate this with our profile of you . Please do not provide any personal data which you do not want to be published . Comments will be subject to moderation checks before publication . We use this information to operate your account and to enable you to log in and use our services ; for example , on InYourArea we use your postcode to identify the correct local information to display to you . You may also be invited during the account creation process to subscribe to one or more of our newsletters , or to opt in to receive certain special marketing offers and promotions . You can read more about that by navigating to the appropriate section of this Privacy Notice via the ' Contents ' list . Click here to go back to ' Contents ' . Unless you object , we will also associate your online account sign-up data with the other things we know about you , like your page views . You can learn more about that , including how to object , here . 4.1.2 Our legal basis We process your email address and the other information you give to us in order to provide the relevant function or service of our sites on the legal basis of consent . We associate the data which you provide on sign-up with the profile created from your browsing activity on the basis of our legitimate interest . If you wish to object to this , where permitted by applicable law , please see section Targeting by Reach . We will keep your account active for as long as you continue to use it , and for up to 3 years afterwards . 4.1.4 Who we share it with and why We use a technology provider called LoginRadius to handle the technical aspects of operating your account on our behalf . They host your email address and password . They act as our " processor " , meaning that they are bound by law and contract to keep your data safe , and to do only what we tell them to do with it . 4.1.5 Whether we send it outside the country of collection Our user account technology provider LoginRadius is based in California and India , and so your personal data will be processed from those locations as part of their provision of their service to us . We have implemented the required safeguards as necessary ( for example , standard agreements and frameworks , approved by the relevant authorities ) .

When you create an account we will collect , at a minimum , your name and email address . In some circumstances , we may also collect your address and your telephone number . We use personal data as part of the account creation process , and to ensure ongoing operation of your account , and access to the services available on our websites . We use all this personal data to ( i ) operate your account and to enable you to log in and use our services , ( ii ) manage and administer your notice , announcement , and/or advertisement , and ( iii ) provide you with some of the features and functionalities that are reserved for account holders . Some examples of using the personal data you provide include : When creating a local obituary notification on our Funeral Notices website , we use your city/town to ensure that we provide information that is relevant and useful for you . When managing a live advertisement , if your advertisement has been successful , you can log in to your account and change the status of the advertisement to closed , ensuring that you no longer receive communications relating to that advertisement . When you post a notice and/or an announcement and , as part of this post , provide personal data that relates to a living third party , you are responsible for making sure that you have obtained the appropriate permissions for sharing their personal data . For example , uploading a photograph or a video to a notice that contains the image of another person(s) . Some of our services may allow you to upload your own content to our websites , for example any comments , pictures , or videos uploaded as part of an advertisement or a notice . Such content , by the nature of our service , will be visible on the website to other users and the general public . When creating a new notice or announcement , or interacting with an existing one , please do not provide any personal data which you do not want to be published and accessible by the general public . The " controller " for advertising activities on some of our websites is Proweb .

In some jurisdictions outside of the EU/UK , and where permitted by applicable law , we may purchase/rent lists of persons who may be interested in our products and services . We may contact such persons by email . 6.1.1 The data we collect and what we do with it We collect your email address in order to send you the newsletters or marketing you subscribe to . When you sign up for newsletters from our " In Your Area " local information website , we will also collect your postcode in order to provide the correct local information . Sometimes , our newsletters will contain advertisements . Unless you object , we will also associate your newsletter and marketing subscription with the other things we know about you , like your page views . You can learn more about that here . 6.1.2 Our legal basis We use your email address to send you the newsletters and marketing you subscribe for on the basis of your consent . You can withdraw that consent at any time . The easiest way to do so is to click on the " unsubscribe " link at the bottom of every newsletter we send .

They act as our " processors " , meaning that they are bound by law and contract to keep your data safe , and to do only what we tell them to do with it . 6.1.5 Whether we send it outside the country of collection Email administration data is hosted within the EEA . Advert management services data is processed from the UK and EEA . 6.1.6 Whether we send it abroad The data is hosted and processed within the EEA . 6.2 Tracking technologies used in our emails If you tell your email application to load images we will know when you open one of our emails . When you click on links in our emails , we will know that it was you who clicked on it . We use this information to inform the content of future newsletters or marketing ( by looking at what 's popular ) , and to understand whether you continue to be interested in receiving them . Unless you have previously objected , we will also associate that information with other things we know about you . You can learn more about that here in Targeting by Reach . 6.2.1 The data we collect and what we do with it We track engagement with our emails in two ways . Firstly , as for most email newsletters and promotions worldwide , our emails do n't attach any pictures they use to the email itself , but instead load them from a remote server on demand . By default , most email programs do n't load remote images automatically , but only when you click on the button or link in the program to " show images " ( or similar wording ) . When you do that , the images linked in the email are downloaded from our technology provider 's server so they can be displayed in your email program . If the images are downloaded , our technology provider can tell us that you opened the email . Secondly , the links in our emails to articles and other external content are personalised , such that if you click through to the content using the link in our email , we will know that it was you who clicked it ( or at least , someone reading the email we sent to you ) . This is because we use web beacons in our emails to track the success of our marketing campaigns . Our web beacons do n't store any information on your computer but , by communicating with our cookies on your computer , they can help us to understand how you engage with our emails . 6.2.2 Our legal basis We record the opening of emails on the basis of your consent . You can withdraw your consent at any time either by configuring your email client not to load images , or by unsubscribing from the relevant email . The data gathered to understand email opening and interests related to articles and links within the emails is retained for as long as you continue to engage with our emails , and for a period of up to 3 years afterwards . 6.2.4 Who we share it with and why Third party processors provide the technology platforms which we use to administer our email lists and to manage the adverts in our emails . They act as our " processors " , meaning that they are bound by law and contract to keep your data safe , and to do only what we tell them to do with it . From time to time we run competitions and prize draws which require you to provide your name and contact details . We use that information to administer the competition or prize draw and to communicate with you about it ( for example if you win a prize ) . We may also use that email address to send you occasional special offers and promotions , if you opted in to receive them . See here for more information on that and how to unsubscribe . Unless you have objected , we will associate the fact that you entered the competition with the other things we know about you , like your page views . You can learn more about that here . We may also run some competitions or prize draws for which we utilise your declared responses to build into our profile about you . When we do so , this will be communicated in the associated text , and you will be asked to either consent to this use or will be given the option to ' object ' via a tick box . 7.1 The data we collect and what we do with it When you enter a competition or prize draw we will collect the information you provide to us , such as your name , email address and answers to any questions . We will use that information to run the competition or prize draw . If you happen to win a prize , we may ask you for additional information , such as an address to send the prize to . As highlighted above , we may also retain your responses as part of a profile about you . 7.2 Our legal basis We do this on the basis that it is necessary to fulfil the contract formed with you when you enter the competition or prize draw . Use of your declared data for profiling purposes will be based either upon consent ( via tick box ) or our legitimate interest , for which you will be given the option to ' object ' . 7.3 How long we keep it for We will keep your competition entry for the duration of the competition and for up to 90 days after the closing date . Data utilised for profiling will be retained for up to 3 years . 7.4 Who we share it with and why Information about competition and prize draw entries is only shared with the service providers who provide us with the technology powering our systems and -- if you win a prize -- with the companies who supply and deliver the prize to you . The technology providers act as our " processors " , meaning that they are bound by law and contract to keep your data safe , and to do only what we tell them to do with it . 7.5 Whether we send it outside the country of collection Our online form technology provider may process your personal data outside of the UK and EEA . We have implemented safeguards to secure and limit the processing of the data , including standard agreements , and frameworks , approved by the relevant authorities . Sometimes we run surveys to help us to understand more about our readership or about public opinion generally . They can also help us better understand the underlying motivations behind the trends we are seeing , response to new content ideas and formats we are developing and how we can improve the service we currently offer . These surveys could be in the form of online surveys , polls , video projects , diary studies and discussion groups , and we record the responses ( answers ) of those who take part . If you take part , we use your answers to those surveys to produce anonymous statistics which we use to inform our editorial content and , to an extent , our advertising . For example , if a majority of survey respondents express a preference for one TV show over another , then we might write an entertainment piece based on that or factor it in when deciding which adverts appear where . We may also run some surveys for which we utilise your declared responses to build into our profile about you . When we do so , this will be communicated in the associated text , and you will be asked to either consent to this use or will be given the option to ' object ' via a tick box . Occasionally , those surveys might ask you about things which the law considers to be especially sensitive , such as your voting intentions or your religious beliefs . Where that 's the case , we 'll ask clearly for your permission first , and we 'll always provide a " prefer not to say " or similar option . We do n't use that kind of information for advertising purposes . 8.1 The data we collect and what we do with it The types of information we collect and process about you when you take part in a survey may include : Personal and contact details you have provided to us , such as your name , email address or postal address Demographic information such as date of birth , gender , work occupation , ethnicity and readership habits . Information about your use of third party products or services or from third parties who we may use to operate certain aspects of our business . We may also collect information from cookies on your devices and this includes information about your IP address , MAC address and other identifying information , information about your devices , including your location , from third party advertising networks and how you use our products and services . We will collect your answers to the survey questions and use them to compile anonymous statistics along the lines of " 35% of people preferred X over Y " . Some surveys may also ask for your email address , for example if we are offering entry into a prize draw for completing it . Go here to learn more about how we use your data for prize draws . As highlighted above , we may also retain your responses as part of a profile about you . When you have completed a survey , you may be invited to subscribe to a newsletter or to receive special offers and promotions from us . Sometimes we may operate " panels " of people who we send survey questions to periodically . If you join one of those panels then there may be additional kinds of information about you which we will receive , in which case we will provide further information to you before you sign up to the panel . 8.2 Our legal basis We collect and compile your survey answers on the basis of your consent , which we ask for in each survey . Use of your declared data for profiling purposes will be based either upon consent ( via tick box ) or our legitimate interest , for which you will be given the option to ' object ' . 8.3 How long we keep it for We retain your survey responses for however long the survey runs for , and for up to 90 days afterwards . If you participated in our research panel we may keep your data for up to a year , for the purposes of insight and tracking responses over time . The resulting statistics may be kept longer , but those are always anonymous and do n't contain your personal data . Data utilised for profiling will be retained for up to 3 years . 8.4 Who we share it with and why We typically publish the overall results of our surveys , and often share those results with the brands involved ( if any ) , but those results are always anonymous and statistical in nature ( " 50% of respondents thought X " ) and do n't contain your personal data . Actual survey responses are only shared with the service providers who provide us with the technology powering our systems . They act as our " processors " , meaning that they are bound by law and contract to keep your data safe , and to do only what we tell them to do with it . Once we 've gathered your survey responses , we will combine them with the answers from other respondents and turn them into valuable insights which may be shared with third parties . Unless specifically stated at the start of the research activity and with your explicit permission , this information will only be disclosed to third parties in anonymised or aggregated form , stripped of any identifiable data ( example forms of anonymised / aggregate data include : " X% of males from Birmingham agree that ... " or " a 35 year male from Birmingham said ... " ) Please be aware that if you disclose information on forums it may be possible for other research participants to use this information . We are not responsible for the disclosure of any information you post in this way . 8.5 Whether we send it outside the country of collection Our online form technology providers may process your personal data outside of the UK and EEA .

When you subscribe to our digital edition titles your subscription is also processed via our provider and this information is retained for as long as you maintain your subscription , and for a period thereafter , in case of disputes or problems . As part of the subscription process you may be asked if you want to receive other products or services from Reach . Where this is the case you will be asked to consent to each product or service type . Such activities are managed in accordance with the relevant sections elsewhere in this Privacy Notice . 9.2 When you place a classified ad When you place a classified ad in one of our print titles , we will collect your name and contact details , your payment information , and of course the content of your ad . We will use that information to publish and administer your ad , and to communicate with you about it . The content of your ad will be published and therefore accessible to the public . We do this on the basis that it is necessary to fulfil the contract agreed with you when you place your ad . We will retain the contact details of private individuals for up to 6 years from the point of last interaction , and trade contact details for as long as we have a business purpose . We do not store personally identifiable payment card information . Your ad itself will be retained indefinitely , on the basis of our legitimate interest , in order to maintain our archive and back issues services . We operate accounts on different social media platforms , and you may choose to visit or to interact with us through these channels . If you choose to do so , we can usually only see information stored in your public profile on the social media platform , when you are logged in to your profile , while visiting our social media account ; although we may process data that you provide to us when you contact us ( for example : if you create a post , or send us a private message via Facebook ) . The social media platform also provides us with anonymous usage statistics , which we use to improve user experience and understand activity across our sites . We do not have access to the usage data that the operator of the social network collects to create these statistics . The operator of the social media platform also processes your data , regardless of whether you yourself have a profile on the platform . In addition , some social media platforms , such as Facebook , use cookies that are stored on your terminal device when you visit our social media account , even if you do not have your own profile in the network or are not logged in . These cookies enable the social media platform to create user profiles based on your preferences and interests and to show you advertising tailored to these .

We do this on the basis of our legitimate interest in managing and administering those relationships . If you work at a current or prospective advertising or publishing services client or related agencies , revenue sharing partners ( for the sale of your products or services ) or are users of Reach software we will also contact you from time to time using your work contact details to promote our services . We will have those contact details either because we have worked with you before , you shared them with us for this purpose , because we or our agencies have looked them up from publicly available information , or because you have attended an event we have hosted . We do this on the basis of our legitimate interest in promoting our advertising and publishing services to businesses . We will always stop contacting you for this purpose if you ask us to . Typically , the best way to do that is to respond to the person contacting you , but you can also make the request by completing the relevant form . We keep the details of our contacts at organisations we do business with for as long as we continue to have a business relationship , and for a period thereafter for business development purposes and in case of issues or disputes . 11.3 Site visits and CCTV When you visit a Reach site we will record your name , the date , and in some locations your company name . This information is retained for one week . In some circumstances , non-employees may be provided with a site pass . Where this applies , the personal data obtained , including a photograph of you , will be retained for the duration of your visit or contract with Reach and for 7 years thereafter for fraud , security , and financial reporting purposes . We use CCTV systems at our premises on the basis of our legitimate interest in protecting the safety and security of our staff and our property . We may pass your information to our processors -- companies that we use to provide services on our behalf , for example for home delivery services , event management , prize fulfilment agencies , market research or other purposes mentioned in this Privacy Notice such as analytics , direct marketing or online advertising . These processors can only use your information in accordance with our instructions and for no other purpose In addition , further to the data sharing described elsewhere in this Privacy Notice , Reach will disclose your information and co-operate with appropriate bodies and authorities in good faith where we are required to by law , a court order , a regulatory authority , or otherwise , including with the police , trading standards , regulatory authorities , other relevant authorities , or credit reference agencies . Where permitted by applicable laws , where you interact with us , we may monitor , record , and retain all associated data , correspondence , and communications , such as written letters , telephone call recordings , emails , text messages , social media messages , in person meetings and any other communications . We will do this to , ( i ) comply with our legal and regulatory obligations ( ii ) , prevent , or detect crime ( iii ) , maintain appropriate evidential records ( iv ) , protect the security of our communications systems and ( v ) for training and quality purposes . Where necessary , we will also use your personal information to defend ourselves from any legal claims brought by you in connection with the provision of our products and services . We will also use personal information to manage and administer our business generally . We will share information with security consultants and IT security system providers , where necessary , to monitor and manage data security and the security of our sites and networks , and to develop security threat intelligence data . We may also share information to facilitate the sale of one or more parts of our business , including if we are approached by a potential buyer or the restructuring of one or more parts of our business and with auditing organisations such as the Audit Bureau of Circulation . When we share information with third parties , we only permit them to process this data for specified purposes . We do not share more information with them than is necessary for the relevant purpose and we require them to treat this information with at least the same protection we do . Our websites may include links to third-party websites , plug-ins , and applications . Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you . We do not control these third-party websites and , when you leave our website , we encourage you to read the Privacy Notice of every website you visit . We may monetise some of these links through the use of third-party affiliate programmes . These affiliate links help pay the costs of producing our websites and ensure that the content is free to you . However , it does n't mean that we are in any way indebted to Amazon or any other company . Nor do they or any other company have any influence over editorial coverage , how we rate products , or whether they get a positive review . Notwithstanding such affiliate programmes , we are not responsible for the content or privacy policies of these websites or for third-party advertisers , nor for the way in which they use the information they collect about you . After you have visited our site , we may use remarketing services provided by companies such as Facebook and Google and Bing , to show you advertising on third-party websites , based on your browsing patterns and interactions . For this purpose , visitors are grouped by certain actions on our services , for example , by duration of visit . This enables us to understand your preferences and to show you personalised advertising even if you are currently on another website within the network . We may also share de-identified information with social media platforms for advertising and analysis purposes . For example , we may share a hashed , non-identifiable version of your email with , for example , Facebook or Google , with the aim of showing you advertising on those platforms , or to exclude you from seeing our advertising on those platforms . Combined with the use of their respective pixels/advanced matching and Conversions/Events APIs ( a secure server-to-server interface that allows us to share specific actions you take on our website directly with Meta and TikTok ) , this enables us to better understand how you interact with our website , measure the impact of our advertising and website conversions , deliver relevant advertising that may be of interest to you and protect your privacy . Processing your data in this way enables us to deliver relevant advertising that may be of interest to you and protect your privacy . It also enables us to measure the impact of our advertising and website conversions , improve targeted advertising , improve marketing attribution and improve conversion tracking .

When you sign up to one of our Whats App communities to receive the latest updates , exclusives and comments straight to your phone . As part of this process you are allowing WhatsApp to receive and share data with us , including your phone number . The use of your data will be in accordance with this Privacy Notice , and also WhatsApp Privacy Notice here . You can exit the Community you joined at any time by going to the Communities tab of your Whatsapp account , and following these instructions : How to exit a community . Put in place appropriate controls to ensure that data protection risks are mitigated to an acceptable level . Follow a Privacy by Design approach when developing the chatbot . Where our chatbots leverage third party generative AI platforms , the information you disclose via the chatbot may be shared with the provider of the AI platform for its purposes , over which we have no control . Please do not submit any information with our chatbots that you would not be willing to share publicly . For more information see our AI Notice on our websites . Some of our sites offer discount codes . When you use one of our discount codes we will collect information about how you use our site .

Although we do not share your data with the code providers , when you claim your code your personal data may be collected . Reach is not responsible for the content or use of personal data on third party websites linked to from our sites which offer Discount Codes . When you navigate to and use these sites , for example to redeem a discount code , we would recommend that you check the Privacy Notice associated with that site for more information on how those sites process your information .

Reach Gaming Affiliates is a website operated by Reach , to promote our Gaming Affiliate programs , and provide users with the ability to join the program . We provide direct links to our nationally recognised and trusted gaming brands on our Reach Gaming Affiliates webpage , such as Mirror Bingo , OK ! Bingo and Express Wins . We also provide links to web pages where you can submit your information in order to join our Reach Gaming Affiliates Account . Please note that we do not directly collect any personal data , concerning your browsing behaviour or your participation in our affiliate program , on this website . When you navigate to these web pages , please note that our partner , Jumpman , will be the data controller for the personal data that you provide , and Reach will be the data processor . The information we share will be used in accordance with our partner 's privacy policy , which you should read when you sign up with the partner . For more information about how your Affiliate data will be used , please see the Jumpman Privacy Notice here . Reach receives information from , and shares information with , other companies within the Reach Group to help operate , provide , improve , understand , customise , support , and market our services and their offerings . This includes : performing analytics and analysis of how you interact with the group 's products and services , to facilitate business efficiencies and develop products and services that would be relevant to you ; and sharing information to deliver more relevant advertising from across the Reach Group network . In addition , a key way we share data across systems and Group companies is for advertising and targeting purposes . This can be based on your online behaviour on our sites , for example : When you go onto one of our sites we can track your behaviour on those sites , or any of our other sites across our Group companies , and use this to target advertising or email content to you . For example , if you use our ecommerce site yimbly.com , we can see if you later visited one of our other sites and you may see advertising for the products you looked at based on this . If you would prefer to opt out , you can do so via the consent management pop-up . This also applies if you open an email from us and this takes you online as we can use the information from your online behaviour to later target marketing to you . So for example if you subscribe to marketing emails on one of our regional news sites and we see you looked at sporting content on our other sites we may provide you with sport related content in your marketing emails from the regional news site . You can unsubscribe from emails at any time . We may also upload emails ( in hashed , pseudonymous form ) straight to the advertising data system and this enables us to identify the same non-identifiable user across devices . So we know , for example , that the person who looks at Reach lifestyle content on their phone and then Reach fashion content on their desktop , is in fact the same non-identified person . You can unsubscribe from emails at any time . We may also use the other data you have provided to us , combined with your online behaviour , to personalise your email campaigns . For example , if you signed up an account when browsing ' football ' content on our news sites , we may classify you as a ' football intender ' . Later when you go online we may see you are also interested in content on films and classify you as a ' football and films intender ' . As a result you may see advertising content related to football and films , when you visit our sites . If we sell part or all of our business , personal information may be one of the transferred business assets . If this happens , your information may be disclosed to any successors of our business for them to use for the purpose set out in this Privacy Notice . We are committed to protecting the personal data we hold and keep your information secure by taking appropriate technical and organisational measures , including for example encryption techniques and access control , to protect personal and sensitive data against its unauthorised or unlawful processing and against its accidental loss , destruction or damage . Where we use third-party service providers to store data , we have appropriate agreements in place to ensure that your personal data is protected . In addition , we limit access to your personal information to those employees , agents , contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know . We also require any third parties to whom we may transfer personal data to have appropriate security measures in place . They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality . Our websites may permit you to create an account , or have the facility for an account to be created on your behalf . When this happens , you may be prompted to create a password . You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password , and you are responsible for any access to or use of your account by someone else that has obtained your password , whether or not such access or use has been authorised by you . You should notify us of any unauthorised use of your password or account . In the unlikely event of a breach we will notify the affected individuals in a timely manner , as required by law . If you believe your account has been compromised , please contact us at **26;237;TOOLONG , or if you are in the US email **27;265;TOOLONG stating which state you are a resident of . 13.2 Reason for keeping it We hold personal data for a variety of different purposes and the length of time we keep your data will vary depending on the services or products we are providing our customers with . We will only keep your data for a reasonable period of time , which is based on the purpose for which we are using your data . For example , we review our marketing contact lists and delete those contacts where there has been no activity for three years . In addition , by law , for tax and other purposes , we may have to keep basic information about our customers ( including Contact , Identity , Financial and Transaction Data ) for seven years after they cease being customers . We may also need to keep information to evidence a contract or prevent fraud . Once the purpose has been fulfilled , we will securely delete that data or anonymise your information ( so that we , or anyone else , can no longer tell that data relates to you ) unless we are required to retain the data longer for legal , tax or accounting reasons . 13.3 Countries we may transfer your data to When you provide information to us , we may transfer your personal information to our group companies and processors who are based in a country other than your country of residence . For example , if you are a UK citizen you may find your data is processed by a supplier or service based outside the UK or EEA , such as in the United States . If such a transfer requires us to apply additional safeguards to your personal information under , for example , UK or European data protection laws , we will do so . These steps may include implementing the UK 's International Data Transfer Agreement clauses or European Commission 's Standard Contractual Clauses , with additional UK-specific clauses for transfers of personal information to our service providers and business partners . Alternatively we will ensure the third parties we work with will offer an adequate level of protection by meeting the legally agreed requirements of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework , and the UK extension , as appropriate . To the extent applicable , we may rely on derogations as set forth in Article 49 of the GDPR for the transfer and onward transfer of personal information collected from individuals in the UK or EEA to the United States , and other countries that the EU views as not providing adequate data protection . Specifically , we may transfer such information to another party in accordance with our lawful basis for processing . By using our website , products or services or by interacting with us in the ways described in this Privacy Notice , you consent to the transfer , storage and processing of your personal information outside your country of residence , including out of the EEA , in the circumstances set out in this Privacy Notice . If you do not want your information to be transferred in this way you should not use our website , applications or services . Our products and services are for a general audience and not aimed at children , although we recognise that some of the content of our publications may appeal to a younger audience , for example our football content and Curiously site . Across our portfolio , we have taken active measures to ensure we comply with all relevant laws and regulations , and do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of sixteen or send any marketing communications to children . If we are running a competition , for example , which might be of interest to children , our competition rules specify that a parent or guardian must consent to entry ( if the child is under eighteen ) . You must also be at least eighteen to purchase products or services from us . If you are under the age of eighteen , you must ensure that your parent or guardian purchases the products or services on your behalf . If , in the future , we collect personally identifiable information from children in connection with our products and services , we will do so in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations including , without limitation , obtaining parental consent where necessary . If you are a parent or guardian and are concerned that we may be processing personal data related to your child , please contact **27;294;TOOLONG . You can exercise your rights by contacting our group Data Protection Officer 's team through the use of the relevant forms provided below . It is helpful to be as specific as possible about what you want us to do or what information you are looking for , because it enables us to respond to you more quickly . Depending on your request , we may ask you to prove your identity to us first , in order to make sure that someone is n't impersonating you . For example , if you contact us about your Reach account using a different email address , we may first require you to prove that you control the email address which you used to set up the account . If you want information about a subscription or some other paid service then we may ask you to provide the last four digits of the credit card used to pay for it . If you are making a request on behalf of someone else , you must include proof of their permission for you to do so , or provide evidence of a power of attorney , court order , or health professional evidence that they are unable to provide consent . Most of your rights do have exceptions to them , designed to protect the rights of others or to ensure that we can comply with the law and operate our business in a prudent manner ( for example , by keeping certain records ) . If we decline all or part of your request on the basis of one or more of those exceptions , we will tell you that we are doing so , and we will explain our reasons . We may also reject your request entirely if it is excessive or unfounded . 15.1 Your right to access the information we hold about you You have the right to have access to the information we hold about you . There are a few exceptions to that right , designed to protect the rights of other people . If we hold information about you that is factually inaccurate ( for example , we have spelled your name wrong ) then you have the right to have it corrected . This right does not extend to matters of opinion ; for example , moderation decisions we might make about your comments on our websites . You may have the right to have some or all of your information deleted , principally if the information you want deleted is no longer needed or if we do n't have a legal basis to continue using it ( for example , if we are using it on the basis of your consent and you withdraw your consent ) . For targeted advertising on our websites , you can access the screen to do this by clicking the " Privacy " tag with the ' cog ' icon or link at the bottom of every webpage to go to the Consent Management Platform ( CMP ) . For targeted advertising in our apps , you will be presented with the CMP on initial download and whenever it is updated thereafter . You can also change your CMP settings by navigating to ' My Account ' at the bottom of the app screen and clicking on ' My Privacy ' . If we are doing something with your data not on the basis of your consent but on the basis of our " legitimate interest " , then you have the right to object to what we are doing , and we must stop unless we can show that there is a compelling and legitimate reason to continue or what we are doing relates to a legal claim . Activities such as fraud prevention will fall into that category . In the case of direct marketing and profiling , your right to object is absolute . Regardless of what other mechanisms we may make available , you can always object by unsubscribing from marketing emails and by rejecting the use of cookies on our websites ( see the Privacy ' cog ' or link at the bottom of every webpage ) . When using our apps , if you want to change the settings , go to the ' My Account ' Link at the bottom of the screen which includes ' My Privacy ' and takes you to the Consent Management Platform ( CMP ) . 15.6 Your right to restrict what we do with your information in some circumstances In certain circumstances , you have the right to restrict our use of your information to simply storing it and using it only for legal claims , protecting the rights of others and matters of important public interest . Those circumstances are : if you dispute the accuracy of information we hold about you ; if we do something unlawful with your information but you do n't want us to delete it ; if we do n't need the information anymore but you want us to preserve it in connection with a legal claim ; or for the duration of the period in which we are considering a valid objection you have raised under your right to object discussed above . You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you which you have provided to a controller in a portable electronic format , or have it transmitted to another controller , where processing is based upon consent and undertaken by automated means . If you have a complaint or disagree with a decision we have made , we ask that you discuss it with us first by contacting the group Data Protection Officer using our data protection complaints form or via the address given at the top of this Privacy Notice . You also have the right to complain to your data protection supervisory authority . Privacy legislation in the US and Canada is evolving and as a result there are special rights for residents of certain states . This section details the existing state laws and consumer privacy rights and will be updated as the new laws are introduced . We have appointed a Privacy Officer to oversee our data protection and privacy practices , in the US and Canada . Our Data Protection Officer holds this position . If you have any comments , concerns , or questions , including any requests to exercise your legal rights , you can contact our Privacy Officer as follows : This section applies only to California residents .

It does not include : ( i ) information that is lawfully made available from federal , state or local government records ; ( ii ) de-identified or aggregated data ; or ( iii ) information excluded from the scope of the CCPA/CPRA .

If you are a California resident , you may have certain CCPA rights with regards to this information . Under the CCPA , when we act as a " service provider " ( as opposed to a " business " or a " third party " ) over such information , we only process your information in a way required to provide our services to our clients , at our clients ' direction .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'opt out of' followed by a noun phrase 'Advertising cookies', which does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it lacks the movement/extraction or prevention interpretation characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence 'Andrew apologised and paid damages to David Lloyd for suggesting 'personal problems' could rule him out of being appointed chief executive of the Lawn Tennis Association.' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('personal problems') + V1 ('rule') + NP object ('him') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('being appointed chief executive of the Lawn Tennis Association'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the suggestion of 'personal problems' prevents David Lloyd from being appointed. The verb 'rule' can be classified under means to achieve a goal by exerting force or pressure, and the NP object 'him' functions as a causee. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Andrew Castle has been a top flight tennis commentator for 20 years but the Wimbledon stalwart has made a few gaffes along the way . The former player was regularly ranked GB number one at the peak of his career and made a Grand Slam final , the Australian Open mixed doubles final with Anne Hobbs in 1987 . After retiring from tennis he presented ITV breakfast programme GMTV in the early ' 00s and competed in BBC Strictly Come Dancing in 2008 . The broadcaster has been at the helm for the Wimbledon men 's singles finals for two decades but his controversial remarks have sometimes caused a stir . Here 's our top five rundown ... In June 2022 , Andrew was criticised by viewers for saying he was looking forward to welcoming Boris Becker back while he was in jail . The six-time Grand Slam champion was sentenced to two years and six months at Southwark Crown Court that April for hiding ? 2.5m worth of assets and loans to avoid paying off debts . " I 've had a real moment of missing Boris , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's Clubs Championships . " I know he 's in prison and I know why . Boris , we look forward to welcoming you on your return . " Andrew was forced to apologise when he made a cheeky comment about Marcus Willis ' girlfriend back in July 2016 . The British tennis star 's now wife Jenny Bate is a dental surgeon , prompting the commentator to quip : " My dentist does n't look like that " . Dental surgeon Jenny Bate cheers on her now husband Marcus Willis ( Image : MDM ) Scolded by fans on social media who branded the remark sexist , he hit back at one who told him to ' get back to the tennis ' saying " I just knew there would be someone just you who would comment . Earnest , humourless and probably not fun at all " . Andrew later had second thoughts , tweeting : " Obviously never mean to upset anyone . If I did then I apologise . " When Carlos @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Andrew was criticised for sympathising too much with the losing player . When Djokovic lost a game in the final set of the tense final , he stormed back to his seat and smashed his racket against the net 's wooden post on the way . " It 's understandable how upset Djokovic would be , " said Andrew . " He has just lost his serve in the fifth set . " Fans disagreed , branding the player ' pathetic ' and a ' toddler ' .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('could rule him out of being appointed chief executive'). It involves a prevention interpretation, where 'personal problems' (the subject) prevent 'him' (the object) from 'being appointed chief executive' (the VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'rule' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure, and the NP object 'him' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

Andrew Castle has been a top flight tennis commentator for 20 years but the Wimbledon stalwart has made a few gaffes along the way . The former player was regularly ranked GB number one at the peak of his career and made a Grand Slam final , the Australian Open mixed doubles final with Anne Hobbs in 1987 . After retiring from tennis he presented ITV breakfast programme GMTV in the early ' 00s and competed in BBC Strictly Come Dancing in 2008 . The broadcaster has been at the helm for the Wimbledon men 's singles finals for two decades but his controversial remarks have sometimes caused a stir . Here 's our top five rundown ... In June 2022 , Andrew was criticised by viewers for saying he was looking forward to welcoming Boris Becker back while he was in jail . The six-time Grand Slam champion was sentenced to two years and six months at Southwark Crown Court that April for hiding ? 2.5m worth of assets and loans to avoid paying off debts . " I 've had a real moment of missing Boris , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's Clubs Championships . " I know he 's in prison and I know why . Boris , we look forward to welcoming you on your return . " Andrew was forced to apologise when he made a cheeky comment about Marcus Willis ' girlfriend back in July 2016 . The British tennis star 's now wife Jenny Bate is a dental surgeon , prompting the commentator to quip : " My dentist does n't look like that " . Dental surgeon Jenny Bate cheers on her now husband Marcus Willis ( Image : MDM ) Scolded by fans on social media who branded the remark sexist , he hit back at one who told him to ' get back to the tennis ' saying " I just knew there would be someone just you who would comment . Earnest , humourless and probably not fun at all " . Andrew later had second thoughts , tweeting : " Obviously never mean to upset anyone . If I did then I apologise . " When Carlos @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Andrew was criticised for sympathising too much with the losing player . When Djokovic lost a game in the final set of the tense final , he stormed back to his seat and smashed his racket against the net 's wooden post on the way . " It 's understandable how upset Djokovic would be , " said Andrew . " He has just lost his serve in the fifth set . " Fans disagreed , branding the player ' pathetic ' and a ' toddler ' . At Queen 's this year , the BBC tennis commentator hit out at last year 's champion Carlos Alcaraz when it emerged he was allegedly unhappy at the way his name was being pronounced . Defeated by home favourite Jack Draper , Alcaraz made his feelings known between points , with Castle referring to him as ' Al-ca-raz ' rather than the correct Spanish way , ' Al-ca-rath ' .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'shutting people out of voting on polling day' involves 'shutting out' but lacks a clear causer and causee relationship, and it does not clearly induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as defined for the transitive out of -ing construction.

Lucy Letby 's reasons for killing babies may never be explained - but jurors have tried to understand her motives . The former NHS nurse has today been convicted of another newborn 's attempted murder following a retrial at Manchester Crown Court . A jury of six women and six men found Letby , 34 , guilty of attempting to kill a three-day-old baby girl , known as Child K , in February 2016 . Letby was previously handed a whole-life order in August 2023 after being found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill six others during her year-long killing spree , between 2015 and 2016 , at the Countess of Chester Hospital where she worked . The ex-neonatal nurse has denied doing anything harmful to any child , and the grieving families of her victims still have had no explanation from her . So why did she kill ? Here , we take a look at all of the possible theories behind her unthinkable crimes ... Lucy Letby was given a whole-life order for murdering seven babies and trying to kill six ( Image : Countess of Chester @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 10-month trial to try and explain her motive ( Image : PA ) During 2015 and 2016 , there was a significant rise in the number of infants who suffered serious and unexpected collapses in the neonatal unit of the Countess of Chester Hospital . Letby was the only member of the nursing and clinical staff who was on duty every time the collapses - which the Crown argued were not natural events - occured . Prosecutor Nick Johnson KC said Letby was a ' calculated opportunist ' who used the vulnerabilities of premature and sick babies to disguise her chilling acts . Her seemingly normal behaviour ' persuaded many colleagues that the collapses and deaths were normal ' . Johnson also said Letby was ' playing God ' during her trial by harming babies and then being the first to alert her colleagues to their decline . After her final murder of Child P in June 2016 , she said to a doctor : " He 's not making it out of here alive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pumped air into the days-old infant 's stomach as she fed him milk , and he died soon after . Letby had made similar comments in two previous murders . Johnson told jurors : " She knew what was going to happen . She was controlling things . She was enjoying what was going on . She was predicting things that she knew was going to happen . She , in effect , was playing God . " The prosecution suggested Letby was infatuated with a married doctor at the hospital , and was having a secret relationship with the man , who can not be named for legal reasons but is referred to as Dr A. They claimed he was her ' boyfriend ' , but she repeatedly denied this and insisted : " I loved him as a friend . I was not in love with him . " It was said that she would call him when the babies suddenly deteriorated to get his " personal attention " . After she was removed from the ward , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and restaurant dates , shopping trips , and a visit to her home , where she lived alone . Parents and nurses described Letby acting unusually when the babies she killed or tried to murder suddenly declined on the ward . The parents of Child I told police they remembered her " smiling and going on about how she was present at Child I 's first bath and how much she had loved it " . She also searched for families of her victims on Facebook on the anniversaries of their deaths . In evidence , Letby said she would search for all sorts of people , and not just the parents of babies on the unit . Johnson suggested to Letby that she was " getting a thrill " out of watching the grief and despair of parents and colleagues . She denied these claims and told the court that she was " trying , in that awful situation , to have some positive memories " . Letby said : " It was n't meant with any malice . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as if they were alive . " Evidence pointing towards the former nurse included a number of handwritten notes found in her bedroom at home , and one green Post-it note was presented to the jury . Letby wrote : " I do n't deserve to live . I killed them on purpose because I 'm not good enough to care for them " , " I am a horrible evil person " and in capital letters " I am evil I did this " . Johnson invited the jurors to read the note ' literally ' as a confession . Ben Myers KC , representing Letby , explained the note was the " anguished outpouring of a young woman in fear and despair when she realises the enormity of what 's being said about her " . Letby later said in evidence : " I felt I must be responsible in some way . I think looking back on it now , I was really struggling , and this was a way of me expressing what I was n't able @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ narcissism ' One psychologist - who was not involved in the trial and did not present his suggestions in court - has since shared his possible theory behind the killings . Lecturer in criminology at Loughborough University , Dominic Wilmott , told the Mail Letby was a ' covert narcissist ' and said she may have been motivated by a ' pathological desire for attention and sympathy ' . " In our analysis of healthcare professionals who perpetrate violence against their patients , especially children , offending appeared to be motivated by a pathological desire for attention and sympathy emerging as a consequence of their involvement in the case , " he said . " There was a complex interaction between this and a history of personality disorder diagnoses and characteristics , and were often found to be highly sadistic and narcissistic as described by those who knew them . " It has also been suggested that Letby was suffering from Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy , a condition in which carers can intentionally harm children in order to gain attention for themselves . |

Thousands of voters have been caught up in chaos over postal ballots which risks shutting people out of voting on polling day . A blame-game began over who was at fault for postal vote delays in some parts of the country , with reports suggesting more than 90 constituencies could be affected . Voters have reported problems in parts of London , Devon , Hertfordshire and Lancashire , while some councils in Scotland were forced to run emergency drop-in centres at the weekend for voters whose packs have not arrived . Some 2,600 postal votes were sent out late in Essex 's Uttlesford District Council , whose chief executive apologised for the delay caused by " human error " . Voters in more than 90 constituencies , including those of Cabinet ministers Kemi Badenoch , Grant Shapps and James Cleverly , have raised concerns about their ballots failing to arrive , according to the Telegraph .

" Local councils are responsible for sending out postal ballot packs but some have blamed Royal Mail for delays . Town halls and electoral administrators have also warned that closing applications only 11 working days before polling day is too tight a timetable as printing personalised postal votes is a complicated process .

" They have confirmed that everyone in Scotland should have now received their postal ballots , and Royal Mail will do sweeps of its mail centres on polling day to make sure votes are successfully passed to Returning Officers , so they are counted . We will continue to support Returning Officers in making sure electors can vote on Thursday , which is our priority . " |

A Local Government Association spokesperson said : " Councils and electoral staff across the country have been doing their utmost to ensure the smooth running of this election and that people can vote . People voting by post are expected to have increased 20% since the 2019 general elections , with more than 1.3 million postal vote applications made between May 22 and June 19 . This unprecedented increase adds more pressure to an already complex process @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reports of incidents where delays have happened . The postal vote system could benefit from review and more could be done to support Royal Mail and printers to be ready to deliver elections . " A Government spokesperson said : " We have been working closely with the Electoral Commission , Royal Mail , Returning Officers and the print suppliers to resolve the localised issues they have been experiencing . " They have confirmed that everyone in Scotland should have now received their postal ballots , and Royal Mail will do sweeps of its mail centres on polling day to make sure votes are successfully passed to Returning Officers , so they are counted . We will continue to support Returning Officers in making sure electors can vote on Thursday , which is our priority . " |

The phrase 'takes the pain out of cooking' does not involve a causee NP object or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Air fryers are a very handy kitchen gadget that takes the pain out of cooking , especially the larger models that allow you to create a full meal . There 's one in particular that 's so spacious and cooks food so quickly that shoppers claim they can make a ' whole roast dinner ' in it within two hours . Amazon has knocked ? 66 off the kitchen gadget for a limited time , with it costing ? 53.90 , down from ? 119 . The same air fryer is currently sold out at Tower and Currys , but Argos has it in stock for ? 113 . It comes with a handy rotisserie function with spit and handle accessories , allowing you to cook a whole chicken ' in under one hour ' . The air fryer comes with a 60-minute timer for precise results and has a three-year guarantee once registered online . The Tower T17039 Xpress Pro 5-in-1 Digital Air Fryer Oven is an Amazon 's Choice product . Over 19,300 customers have reviewed it to date , with it receiving an overall rating of 4.6 out of five . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with this air fryer . I have n't used my standard oven since buying this . I bought it after family and friends recommended using one . It cooks food quicker , it 's easy to clean , and does n't take up too much space . What I do like is the ease of use - it 's so simple to use . I would n't cook potato chips or baked potatoes anywhere else now , they taste so good . I would definitely recommend this product . " The Tower air fryer can hold 11L of food and cook a whole chicken ( Image : Argos ) A second wrote : " Ended up buying this Tower model on first sight , I love the way it looks like a mini oven .

On a Sunday I regularly cook a 1.7kg chicken and then while it cools I pop in two shelves with potatoes for roasting and I have a whole roast dinner done to perfection in under two hours . I use it more often than the main oven nowadays . " They did find , however , that the rotisserie feature was n't the best . They continued : " My one slightly negative comment is that I would n't bother with the rotisserie if I bought another air fryer . It does n't work very well and the position of the mechanism means you ca n't put a shelf in the middle of the oven . I 'm still 99.9% satisfied , though , and how often can you say that ! ? " |

It 's not known as the Land of the Midnight Sun for nothing - there will be daylight for many hours in summer so book in autumn or winter to guarantee it will be dark enough to spot the lights . KNOW BEFORE YOU GO A little forward planning before you board can enhance your experience no end . Most cruise lines will allow you to book parts of your cruise in advance , be it a pampering treatment in the spa or a slap-up dinner in one of the specialty restaurants . And of course , there are those all-important excursions for the days when you 're in port . If you 've got some absolute must-see or must-do 's then pre-booking an excursion will take the stress out of arriving in a new destination . One mistake I made when first cruising was trying to see and do too much , particularly on Caribbean islands . You end up frazzled and exhausted - the best bet is to choose one or two signature experiences where you 'll really have time to immerse yourself . ALL ABOARD One @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ having your cases whisked away before you 've even stepped onboard , but my top tip is to take a small bag to bring onboard with all your essentials like passports , medication and chargers . A change of clothes is a great idea if you 've flown from chilly England to sizzling temperatures in the Mediterranean or Caribbean . Take time to familiarise yourself with the ship on the first day - make a note of any restaurants or facilities you 're keen to explore further . DRESS TO IMPRESS One of the most daunting things for cruise first-timers is navigating the dress code onboard . There 's no one-size fits all answer but in general , cruising is not as formal as in years gone by . By day , think general summer holiday gear and swimwear and by night , think smart casual in the main dining rooms and speciality restaurants . Formal nights are when you can get your glad rags on - from cocktail dresses and gowns for women to black tie for men . Keep an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nights - do you need to pack clothes in certain colours for example ? It 's also worth checking if you 'll need any specific kind of clothing for your shore excursions , such as a shawl for religious temples . You 'll be asked to connect a bank card to your account and it 's wise to make sure you use a credit card not a debit card for this . Most cruise lines will have the facility for you to check your account from your stateroom TV or an app on your phone so you can keep an eye on what you are spending . Of course , cruises take you to some amazing destinations so it 's also worth having a certain amount of local currency . Buying that currency online and having it delivered to your home address generally ensures you get the best rates - never fall into the trap of exchanging your money at the airport , the exchange rates are always among the worst . 3 Cruising is a safe and secure environment for families with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CRUISE AND STAY When planning a cruise , the savviest of travellers will include a land-based stay alongside their ocean journey , perhaps in port before or after a cruise . Should the worst happen and your flight is delayed or cancelled , there 's wiggle room there to get you to your destination before the ship sails . But there 's also another good reason . Many Mediterranean cruises set sail from some fabulous cities like Barcelona or Rome and if you go straight to the ship you 'll miss out on the chance to explore . It 's also worth thinking about the days you 'll be in port while on your cruise . Unless you 're on a booked excursion , I 'd always recommend getting off a bit later to avoid the initial crowds and spend a little more time on board having a leisurely breakfast . 3 Depending on how much you like to indulge , it may be worth buying a drinks package in advanceCredit : Handout CHEERS TO BEERS Simply sitting back and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is one of my absolute favourite joys on a cruise ship . There are so many different ways to enjoy not just alcoholic drinks but premium coffees , smoothies and more . Depending on how much you like to indulge , it may be worth buying a drinks package in advance as some cruise lines offer incentives when you first book . It is also worth researching what you are allowed to bring onto the cruise in terms of alcohol - most lines will allow you to generally bring one or two unopened bottles of wine or champagne . Some lines will also allow you to bring the bottle you brought onboard to dinner , for a small corkage fee . FAMILY FAVOURITES Cruising with the kids could not be easier - I took my lot onboard for the first time when my youngest was just 18 months . It 's a safe and secure environment with non-stop entertainment and fun on tap - often far more than any land-based resort - and of course you 've got the added benefit of exploring @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deals for families sharing a stateroom with some lines even allowing kids to sail for free . No matter what they say , getting the kids registered at the onboard kids club is THE way to help them make friends . I 'll never forget going back to our room on the first night of one cruise before going to pick my two up from the kids club only to find a note on our door saying they were off to a magic show on Deck 9 with their new pals . With that freedom , it does make sense to arrange times and places where you will all meet up at regular intervals , some cruise lines even have apps that help you track your family members around the ship . |

In the build up to polling day on Thursday , the political picture of Greater Manchester has been one of apathy and a desire for change . On May 22 , Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced a general election would take place on July 4 outside 10 Downing Street . In the weeks that followed the Manchester Evening News pledged to visit all 27 constituencies across the city region - and locals made their voices loud and clear . Reporters from across the M.E.N newsroom have gathered opinions from the very people politicians are hoping will head into the polling booth and put a cross next to their name . Although each individual constituency has its own talking points and issues , there were two key themes that rang true across all of them . This was a strong desire for change and political disillusionment . Despite the best efforts of the M.E.N reporters , we could n't speak to every single voter in the GM region - so the proof of public opinion will be in the pudding come polling day on July 4 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Greater Manchester ... The leafy area has been dominated by the Conservatives for decades , but according to locals things could soon change . Politics writer Joseph Timan describes how the loss of control over Trafford Council for the blues back in 2018 and gains for other parties was possibly the start of change in the area . Many residents spoke of being former Conservative voters but are planning on going in another direction this time around . The influx of young families into the area will not aid the Tories either , writes Joseph . Talk in the town centre in the heart of Tameside focussed more on what they thought of their current MP Angela Rayner rather than who would win - as that seemed to be viewed as inevitable for Labour . Locals were split on what they thought of the woman who could soon become the new Deputy Prime Minister if Labour claimed victory . Some said she was straight talking and relatable , others were not entirely convinced though . The areas of Harpurhey and Alkrington are new constituency partners , and they had one thing in common - political apathy . Both areas felt like no matter who they voted for , they would be forgotten . The fact the previous incarnation of the constituency as Blackley and Broughton had one of the lowest turnouts at the last general election was no surprise . Speaking to residents , things do n't look like they will change anytime soon . Conservative MP Mark Logan was elected in 2019 with a majority of 378 votes , and was one of several new Conservative MPs in Greater Manchester as the party swept to victory across the country . That was until he quit the party and joined Labour . Reporter Thomas George found that one of the most marginal seats in the country is set to be a tight run affair yet again with many different voices and opinions all wanting change . Local Democracy Reporter Chris Gee headed down to Farnworth to speak to locals who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ South and Walkden . The features of politics in the town has been the success of independent parties in local elections , particularly Farnworth and Kearsley First , who currently have five councillors at the town hall . But with no independent candidates vying for votes , the impact of the Farnworth vote on the overall outcome remains a mystery . Winter Hey lane in Horwich This is another Bolton seat that is more of a traditional marginal with both the Conservatives and Labour winning over recent decades . Road congestion and housing developments in the areas around the large towns of Horwich and Westhoughton were the main talking points for voters . Yet again Local Democracy Reporter Chris Gee bumped into a mix of political allegiances , but whoever can convince them they 're the party to clear the traffic problems in the area could just get over the line come July 4 . Nic Gorton in Bury town centre ( Image : Manchester Evening News ) Bury is another town that was calling for change with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . On the need for it , the consensus is almost unanimous , but where people disagree is on who can make things better . Apathy towards the Conservatives and Labour is everywhere , even among those who say they are backing either of the main two parties . The Bury South constituency consists of Radcliffe , Whitefield and Prestwich , all of which are up and coming and the subject of huge development . At the last general election voters elected a Conservative MP - Christian Wakeford on a slim majority of 402 - for the first time since 1992 . He crossed the floor to join Labour back in 2022 . New constituency boundaries will see some of Radcliffe moved into Bury North , while Kersal and Broughton Park will be brought into Bury South . But despite the Conservatives standing a well-known local candidate , Rabbi Arnie Saunders , a Tory councillor in Salford , the bookies have Mr Wakeford long odds to win again . The town of Marple in Hazel Grove constituency . Copyright @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Uploaded by Declan Carey , Local Democracy Reporter for Salford and Stockport One man spoke to the M.E.N about how he had a good job but still struggled to pay for some basic necessities . Hazel Grove has had a Conservative MP since 2015 , but local Mark said he and others in the area are really struggling , and looking for political change . Tactical voting was spoken about here , which could see the Tories ousted for the Lib Dems . Heywood town centre ( Image : Kenny Brown Manchester Evening News ) In the two towns that sit between Rochdale and Manchester , a tale of being forgotten was hot on the lips . Both areas felt like no matter the change from Labour to Conservative or vise versa , there would be no difference . Talk of a local champion has got people talking here , with a feeling that someone from the area would have a better understanding of the towns ' needs . Voters discuss a need for change ahead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The town of Leigh was famed for being one of the ' red wall ' seats that turned Conservative for the first time ever back in 2019 , but it looks like that may have just been a flash in the pan . Reporter Tom George was told of the downfall of the town centre in the last decade , with antisocial behaviour , drug taking and shoplifting becoming more common . Turning back to the Labour Party and their former MP Jo Platt seems to be the solution most sought . Ashton town centre Ashton-in-Makerfield is the main town of the Makerfield constituency , which is seen as one of the safest Labour seats in the country . Locals say that business owners vote Conservatives and the workforce vote Labour traditionally , but this time things are different . A number of shop owners bemoaned the state of the town centre and the Conservative government . This could possibly mean the increase of a majority for the reds if these opinions reflect the mood of the area . Local Democracy Reporter Ethan Davies took a stroll through the leafy areas of south Manchester to talk politics , and what he found seemed to match up with the results from 2019 . Roughly four in five intended voters said they would go for Labour , a little higher than Jeff Smith 's 67.8 percent share in 2019 . No-one mentioned they would absolutely back the Lib Dems in an area with two of their councillors , and nearly claimed a third one less than a month ago . It 's a telling sign that in this part of the city , the national picture is more important than the local one . In the local elections on May 2 , George Galloway 's Workers Party candidate won here , ousting the deputy leader of the council Luthfur Rahman . Mr Rahman @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In the month since then , the war in Gaza has raged on . Longsight looks , feels , and operates , in the same way it did on the day of the local elections . But it looks like the area is ready to support Labour again , this time in the general election . Pictures from Oldham and Saddleworth East constituency One thing is clear in Oldham East and Saddleworth , Greater Manchester 's biggest constituency - people want change . For many of the voters the M.E.N . spoke to , that change is often about more than kicking the Tories out of Downing Street . While some residents we spoke to were content to ' send a message ' to mainstream politicians by voting for independents or smaller parties , one voter thought ' the whole system ' needed an overhaul . Royton town centre featured a number of people chowing down during their lunch breaks when Local Democracy Reporter Charlotte Hall paid them a visit . The biting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Of the dozens of people the M.E.N . stopped to ask about the upcoming vote in Royton town centre , most said they either ' were n't interested ' or ' did n't know if they 'd vote ' . The seat held by Workers Party leader George Galloway sees many people struggling , but , much like other places , faith in politicians fixing these problems is in short supply . In the short time Mr Galloway has been in office ( since February ) , it seems he is like marmite from what political writer Joseph Timan found . Some thought he had done a lot for the town , others were not fans . Salford Precinct In Salford precinct there is worry about young people in the city . Salford has pockets of people living in poverty and a homelessness crisis on the streets - there is the feeling is that Salford is still being ignored . The city 's politics is dominated by Labour , which has a majority on the council and holds @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in national support for the party , it 's hard to see how that could change after the election on July 4 , despite the issues people in the city are facing . It has been nearly 80 years since Stalybridge and Hyde were not represented by Labour in Parliament - and there seems to be no expectation of change . Some were happy with the area 's political status quo , calling Mr Reynolds ' helpful ' and ' good ' , others saw the lack of change in the constituency as disillusioning . It 's a divide that was particularly stark between the two towns themselves - voters in Stalybridge generally spoke positively of their incumbent MP . In March , Stockport came out on top in a Times poll of the best places to live in the north west . Its newly-found bohemian vibe has even seen it dubbed ' the New Berlin ' . The town is currently undergoing a ? 1bn overhaul , but locals still need to be convinced by their new label and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that is not seen as a positive thing by all in the area . Sitting Labour MP Andrew Western had a near-10,000 majority when he won the 2022 by-election following the retirement of Kate Green , when she became Greater Manchester 's deputy mayor for policing and crime . There was no shortage of Conservative voters found by Local Democracy Reporter Nick Jackson , but he could n't find many who thought they actually and a chance of ousting Mr Western . Reporter Stephen Topping headed to the town centres of Wigan and Standish , and found a vast difference between the two . Standish has beamers parked along the streets and bustling independent delis whereas Wigan 's Grand Arcade has lost a number of big names since opening in 2007 - including Debenhams , BHS and Marks and Spencer . Although this constituency has is a Labour stronghold for current MP Lisa Nandy , there is a feeling the two areas are going in different directions . The leafy area of Worlsey @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over 3,000 votes back in 2019 , so it could justifiably be called a marginal seat . However Local Democracy Reporter Nick Jackson came up short on his hunt for a Conservative voter that had faith the blues could turn the Labour tide in the Salford borough . What the M.E.N gleaned from the streets of those two areas of the constituency , if there was an ' Apathy Party ' , it might romp to victory . ' I 'd like to see them telling the truth ' ( Image : Manchester Evening News ) Frustration over the lack of change in this part of Greater Manchester is rife . Many feel as though they have been ' promised the world ' and yet have seen no difference . In Wythenshawe shopping centre a large proportion said they were ' tired of politics ' . A common theme around the area was that whatever gets promised is never delivered . Someone who can convince these voters otherwise may have a shot at becoming their new MP . |

Rishi Sunak 's general election speech drowned out by Tony Blair campaign song Reuters Prime Minister Rishi Sunak could very soon be leaving Number 10 Downing Street , but what actually happens when a PM has to vacate the property ? Today ( 4 July ) , millions of Brits head to polling stations around the country to cast their votes in the general election . Polls have forecast a dire result for the Conservatives and a supermajority win for the Labour party . If the experts are correct , Sunak will soon have to hand over his keys to Sir Keir Starmer , who will become the country 's next Prime Minister and resident of Number 10 .

In 1997 , when Conservative PM John Major was forecast to lose heavily to the Labour party , his wife , Norma , began to have items moved from the property in anticipation . Reports suggest Major was very clear that no removal vans should be seen on Downing Street . When the Sunaks moved into Number 10 in 2022 , vans from the company Bishop 's Move were seen on the famous street , while staff members carried items inside the property .

Spend your MP on your ultimate skill , rather than Override burn as you get less DPS for using all of your mana . Lepic has great synergy with other AOE specialist DPS Descendants and even pairs well with other crowd controllers like Viessa . Focus on Burning Reactors to get better Burning DPS modifiers Grab extra Defence from Descendant mods as Lepic has no other DEF modifiers outside of his base stats . Lepic is one of the starter characters in The First Descendant . Players who select Lepic will find a DPS character , with solid crowd control effects , AOE burst and a very powerful ultimate ability . Here is a closer look at a Lepic build in The First Descendant , featuring skills , combos and tips , and a build for prioing Reactors , weapon loadouts , and other mod tips . Lepic is a DPS character , that specializes in ranged burst DPS and crowd control , and we rank him high for that in our The First Descendant Character Tier List . He has some single-target DPS tools too . Here is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for 17 seconds and increase skill power by 20% . During this time your other skills will inflict burn on enemies , for 3 seconds , ticking for around 115% Skill power , further increased by character and skill level . Traction Grenade : Throw a grenade that Towes enemies towards its centre . This drags and hold enemies to appoint for several seconds in a 9-meter radius . Overkill : Equip a weapon in your arm , when fired unleashes a large burst damage attack in an area , dealing Skill power multiplied by 2500% at a minimum . It then deals continuous damage for around 40% minimum for a second duration every 0.5 seconds in a 5-meter range . The skill drains all MP when pressed . The amount of total MP affects how often you can shoot , t typically to a max of 2 times . Note that the damage percentage of skills will increase the more you increased skill levels by levelling your Descendant up . If you 're committing to Lepic , feel free to check out our XP farm guide @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Grenade is an important part of his build and playstyle . Image captured via VideoGamer / Nexon . Due to how Lepic 's kit is designed we have a few skill tips to share : Traction / Frag Grenade combo . Counter enemy tactics or group enemies for easier weakspot hits . Use your ultimate instead of Overclock for single-target DPS . OIverdreive skill is okay when used for weapon burn attack synergy and for Void Fragments farming . Traction grenade pairs well with other CC-focused Descendants like Viessa / Ajax . In general , Lepic 's skills are fairly easy to combo for AOE . Throw your Traction Grenade , followed by a grande throw , and you 're mobbing potential is very good . You can also use your Traction grenade you counter a lot of the harder enemies to kill . Think of the heavy armored elites or the enemies that use riot shield . The Traction Grenade swoops them up , makes landing weak spot hits easier , or straight up negates their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ using Overclock , this will burn all your mana bar down as you 'll need to pop that skill , then press frag grenade . If you need single target damage , you 're best using your m full mana bar on your ultimate skill , as you 'll get significantly more out of using Overkill skill which has a several thousand skill multiplier for incredibly high burst damage , over the damage your Burn will do . The only time you 'll ever really use Overdrive is for a heavy weapon burn mod build for increased sustain DPS , or for farming Void Fragments . In terms of build , you 're largely looking to use your favourite weapons . For the playstyle we recommedn a shot to medium-ish range playstyle for a few reasons . The main reason is for the effective use of your grenades . The grenades have a somewhat smaller range , and you get more out of them with proper aiming and planning . So , if you can mob groups and spawn locations , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reasons , we recommend using Assault Rifle Scout Rifle or Shotgun Shotgun or Sniper The type of AR depends on you . Burst fire ARs are nice for using against weakspot / headshot damage bonuses , especially while Traction Grenade is live . Moreso , shotguns and other more spray and pray AR or SMGs help your burst to close range and grenade-towed enemies . As for other options , use a Scout or Sniper rifle playstyle for distant enemies . These enemies wo n't be in rage for effective grenade use . So , you have those to fall back on . It 's also handy for your burn attack modifiers for single-target consistency . There 's also Reactor synergy for more skill damage when using a scout rifle ( as an example ) . So , if you get a Reactor with those weapon requirements you 're fine . On the other hand , we recommend trying to get bruning Reactors . These offer the most synergy with your burn skills , alongside granting buffs to tech skills , which are your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ main damage skills , so these are always worth buffing via the double whammy or burn reactor types . As for mods , improve your defensiveness where possible . Lepic does n't have any innate defensiveness outside of his base stats . So , always focus on improving those stats when you can . Meanwhile , Skill power is good . Fire status effect modifiers on your guns are also good as they synergise with your burning mods . Outside of that , continue to improve weapon ATK mods for more consistent DPS , and you 've got a decent build . Better MP and more MP are really food too , so you do n't have heavy dead windows where you ca n't use your skills . |

Nilou is a 5-Star Hydro character who was added to Genshin Impact during Phase 2 of the 3.1 update . While Nilou is featured as the boosted 5-Star character in her Twirling Lotus Banner in version 4.8 , but she will eventually return at some point in the future when the Banner schedule cycles back to her . Whether you have her , or want to prepare for if you do Wish for her successfully , it 's good to know the best Nilou build in Genshin Impact , including her best Artifacts and best team . It 's also handy to learn what her Constellation perks are , and what Talent materials and Ascension materials are needed to level up Nilou to her full potential . Nilou is a 5-Star Hydro character who uses a sword , and is best used in a hybrid main and sub DPS role ( damage per second ) in a Dendro and Hydro exclusive team , due to the very unique way she creates special Dendro Cores , and the damage she creates scaled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dancing Petals ( When your entire party is Dendro and Hydro , Nilou grants all characters the Golden Chalice 's Bounty for 30 seconds after her third dance step of Dance of Haftarsvar , which increases Elemental Mastery by 100 for 10 seconds whenever they are hit by Dendro attacks , and triggering Bloom reactions will create Bountiful Cores in place of Dendro Cores which have a larger Area of Effect - but Bountiful Cores ca n't trigger Hyperbloom or Burgeon ) . Passive two : Dreamy Dance of Aeons ( Every 1,000 HP after 30,000 will cause the damage of Bountiful Cores to increase by 9% , with a maximum increase of 400% ) . It 's the standard sword strikes for Nilou with her normal attack , as she 's able to perform up to three consecutive stikes , or charge and consume stamina to perform a twirling slash . Plunging from the air instead damages opponents on her way down and causes AOE ( Area of Effect ) damage upon impact . While in the Sword Dance stance , Nilou unleashes a Luminous Illusion , dealing Hydro damage to opponents and granting the Lunar Prayer effect , which converts her normal attacks into Sword Dance techniques , with her final hit unleashing a Luminous Illusion . Whereas in the Whirling Steps stance , Nilou creates a Whirling Water Wheel that deals AOE Hydro damage and creates a Tranquility Aura that follows the active character , applying Wet to opponents within its AOE . Begins a dance that causes a Lotus of Distant Waters to bloom , dealing AOE Hydro damage scaled off Nilou 's maximum HP and applying the Lingering Aeon effect to any opponents hit . After a short interval , opponents affected by lingering Aeon will take Hydro damage . To get the most out of using Nilou , you will have to level her skills up by using Talent materials , which vary from character-to-character . For Nilou , you 'll need to farm a lot of Praxis and Crystalline Cyst Dust materials ( if you do n't already have them ) to fully upgrade her capabilities . As Nilou has three Talents , you will have to spend three times the Talent materials listed below to fully upgrade all of her abilities , which we 've also detailed below the table . Here 's what Nilou Talent materials and Mora you need to improve one of her abilities : Here 's what Talent Materials you 'll need to fully upgrade one of Nilou 's skills : x1 Crown of Insight x3 Teachings of Praxis x6 Fungal Spores x6 Tears of the Calamitous God x21 Guide to Praxis x22 Luminescent Pollen x31 Crystalline Cyst Dust x38 Philosophies to Praxis 1,652,500 Mora To upgrade all three of Nilou 's skills , here 's all the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Insight x9 Teachings of Praxis x18 Fungal Spores x18 Tears of the Calamitous God x63 Guide to Praxis x66 Luminescent Pollen x93 Crystalline Cyst Dust x114 Philosophies to Praxis 4,957,500 Mora Padisarah . Just like Talents , you need to use Nilou Ascension materials to upgrade her health , attack , defence , and critical hit effectiveness . You 'll need to farm a lot of Padisarah and Perpetual Caliber materials for Nilou ( if you do n't already have them ) to fully upgrade her capabilities . Unlike Talent materials , you only need to spend the below Ascension materials once to fully raise Nilou to her highest character level . There is also Acquaint Fate rewarded for reaching certain Ascension levels . You can spend this Fate on the standard and beginner Banners to Wish for characters and weapons . Here 's what Nilou Ascension materials and Mora you need to upgrade her for each Ascension level : By getting duplicates of Nilou @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fortuna . This material allows you to unlock Constellation levels , with each upgrade either improving an existing Talent or Passive ability . Here are all of Nilou 's Constellation level upgrades in Genshin Impact : Dance of the Waning Moon ( C1 ) : During Nilou 's Elemental Skill , Dance of Haftkarsvar , Luminous Illusion damage is increased by 65% , and Tranquility Aura 's duration is extended by six seconds . The Starry Skies Their Flowers Rain ( C2 ) : An opponent 's Hydro OR Dendro Resistance is decreased by 35% for 10 seconds depending on if a character under the effect of Golden Chalice 's Bounty deals Hydro or Dendro damage to that opponent . Beguiling Shadowstep ( C3 ) : Increases the level of Dance of Abzendegi : Distant Dreams , Listening Spring by three , with a maximum upgrade level of 15 . Fricative Pulse ( C4 ) : Nilou gains 15 Elemental Energy and damage from her Elemental Burst is increased by 50% for eight seconds when the third dance step of her Elemental Skill , Haftkarsvar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( C6 ) : For every 1,000 HP , Nilou 's crit will increase by 0.6% with a maximum increase of 30% , and her crit damage is increased by 1.2% with a maximum increase of 60% . Nilou has a very specific playstyle that requires you to have only Hydro and Dendro characters in your party in order to take full advantage of her talents . While you can insert her into other party types , it should only really be in place of characters you have n't pulled yet , and even then we would n't recommend it unless you 're only playing Nilou for her unique dance attacks on field , and not her damage potential with the right party . The best way to build Nilou is as a sort of hybrid main DPS and sub DPS . This is because you 'll need at least one Dendro teammate to apply Dendro to enemies , and then you 'll use Nilou to apply Hydro to create a Bloom reaction and produce Dendro Cores . With Nilou @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ create Bountiful Cores instead of Dendro Cores , which have a greater AOE , and take about a sixth of the time to explode - making them better for DPS potential . This Golden Chalice 's Bounty effect from Court of Dancing Petals lasts 30 seconds and increases the Elemental Mastery of all teammates for thirty seconds . You 'll want to be applying this effect as often as possible , which means you 'll need a Hydro or Dendro healer on your team to support the damage you 'll be taking from Nilou 's Bountiful Cores . This damage is unavoidable in a good Nilou team , as you actually need to take this damage to lower an enemy 's resistance to Hydro or Dendro in order to increase your DPS . To ensure you 're lowering an enemy 's Hydro or Dendro resistance , keep pressing the Elemental Skill button after you activate it until you see a blue aura around Nilou , as if you use a normal attack as the third input after activating her skill , Nilou will go into a different stance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . We also do n't recommend using a Nilou team for single enemy encounters , as your team needs to produce two Dendro Cores to maximise damage potential , and only one is achievable at a time with single targets . In short , spam Nilou 's Elemental Skill as often as possible in your rotations , then create a Bloom reaction with at least one Dendro teammate to produce Bountiful Cores , and heal when required , as these cores should be exploding often if you 're rotating correctly . It 's very important to build a good team with Nilou or you 'll produce lacklustre damage and might struggle in important encounters otherwise . The main thing you need to remember is that you are going to need a team of only Hydro and Dendro when Nilou is on your team to get the most out of her Talents . The best Dendro teammate for Nilou is Nahida , but Dendro Traveler or Alhaitham can substitute if needed . They 'll be used to create Dendro @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from lots of Nilou 's Dendro and Bountiful Cores , you will also need a Dendro or Hydro healer . The best option for this is Kokomi , but Dendro 4-Star Yaoyao is very good too . As a free-to-play option , you can also slot Barbara into this healer role , but Kokomi is vastly superior , so you should use her in your Nilou team if you have her . 5-Star Dendro Nahida is best used in a Nilou team . Image credit : HoYoverse The fourth slot in most teams are usually quite flexible , but as you can only have Hydro or Dendro characters in a good Nilou team , your fourth slot will depend on who you have . Pick your best Hydro or Dendro characters here , like Dendro Traveler , Xingqiu , Yelan , or even Ayato . Part of Tenacity of the Millelith . With at least one Dendro character needed for Nilou 's best build and team comp , you should have someone on your team with the four-piece Deepwood @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ character to boost their Dendro damage , but any party member can equip Deepwood Memories to help decrease enemies ' Dendro resistance and raise your party 's DPS potential . Specifically for Nilou herself , we recommend the two-piece Tenacity of the Millelith for a 20% health increase . The other two-piece is based on what your particular team comp needs . Emblem of Severed Fate has you covered for a 20% Energy Recharge increase , Heart of Depth increases your Hydro damage by 15% , Noblesse Oblige increases Elemental Burst damage by 20% - there 's a lot of options here , so go through what you have and pick what seems best for your party . Lastly , for all Artifacts , you should have HP as your main and sub-stat priority . Key of Khaj-Nisut sword . As with most signatures , the 5-Star Key of Khaj-Nisut sword sword is Nilou 's best weapon in Genshin Impact . Signature weapons are basically custom built for characters , as is the case with the Key of Khaj-Nisut @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ increases Nilou 's HP by a massive 66.2% , and increases HP by a further 20% at Refinement Rank 1 ( R1 ) , increasing to 40% at R5 . As well as this huge health increase ( which some of Nilou 's attacks scale off of ) , her Elemental Mastery increases by 0.12% of her Maximum HP at R1 when Nilou activates her Elemental Skill . When it reaches three stacks , or the third stack refreshes , other party members will receive a 0.2% Elemental Mastery increase for 20 seconds at R1 , scaled off Nilou 's maximum health . If you do n't want to spend your Fate on Wishing on character and weapon Banners , however , then you can repurpose other 5-Star swords instead , most notably the Primordial Jade Cutter for its HP increase . However , you might want to consider a sword that gives your more crit or Elemental Mastery , like the Mistsplitter Reforged , as your Artifact sub-stats need to prioritise HP . As for 4-Star weapon options , the Favonius Sword and Xiphos ' Moonlight seem @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Particles for her Burst , or another teammate 's Burst .

Portugal are latest casualty of Euro 2024 - crashing out at the hands of France . Theo Hernandez was the hero of the evening , as he dispatched his penalty past Diogo Costa to send France into the semi-finals and set up a date with Spain - who dumped Germany out earlier in the evening .

Health officials and doctors are investigating two cases of the Plague in the USA . Doctors are treating a patient in Colorada after they contracted the medieval disease . Plague is a serious disease which usually presents in three main clinical forms - bubonic , pneumonic or septicemic - and can be transmitted in several ways between infected animals and humans . This includes by the bite of infected fleas , direct contact with infected tissues and inhalation of infected respiratory droplets , according to the World Health Organization ( WHO ) . Bubonic plague has a fatality rate of 30 to 60 per cent , while the pneumonic kind is always fatal if untreated , reports The Express . Symptoms are flu-like , including a sudden fever , severe head and muscle aches , chills and vomiting . Swollen lymph nodes are also common , while hands and feet may turn black . It 's caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis , which is carried by rodents and fleas , and treatment involves antibiotics . The bubonic plague 's most deadly period occurred in Europe between 1345 and 2353 - an era known as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people died . It was one of the most fatal pandemics in human history , though doctors in the 21st century are well-equipped to deal with cases and prevent its spread . The US experiences an average of seven cases of human plague annually , according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) . In February , a woman in Oregon was succesfully treated after being infected by a sick pet cat . Twelve years ago , a welder in Oregon lost his fingertips and toes to the disease after pulling a rodent out of choking cat 's mouth . A Colorado teen died in 2015 after becoming infected while hunting , while two cases were confirmed in the state last year - one fatal . Worldwide , most human cases of plague in recent decades have occurred in people living in rural towns and villages in Africa , particularly in Madagascar and Congo , according to the Cleveland Clinic .

Rowan Milnes kicked two second-half penalties to earn Castleford a shock 8-6 victory over St Helens in a low-scoring affair at the Totally Wicked Stadium . Both sides were slow out of the blocks following the international break and failed to show any sort of quality throughout the first 40 minutes , with neither try line being threatened until Sam Royle 's brilliance earned him a first try in what was an otherwise monotonous first 40 . An improving Castleford side looking for a first win in four were hit with the news that centre Sam Wood would miss the rest of the season after picking up an injury on international duty , but Castleford were determined to cause an upset . St Helens ' sloppy display seeped into the second period and , despite Mark Percival kicking a penalty , Innes Senior ran over for the Tigers ' first try and Milnes kicked two penalties to earn Castleford their biggest win of the season .

Out of nothing , St Helens made the breakthrough in the 38th minute as the Saints flung the ball right for Royle to power through the line and crash over the whitewash for his first try , giving the Saints a four-point lead at the break . The hosts were inches away from scoring the first try of the second half as Agnatius Paasi bullied his way through the defence but Dodd dropped the offload two metres short of the line . Saints looked more like their usual selves momentarily in the second period and forced a penalty after the ball was stolen in the ruck ; Mark Percival kicked the two points to extend their advantage slightly .

The errors continued to come for Saints . This time they were caught offside , giving Milnes another penalty chance which he kicked for a second time to give the Tigers a two-point lead with 10 minutes to go . Saints looked to sink a dagger into Castleford in the last minute but Paasi dropped the ball with the line at his mercy and the full-time hooter was greeted with boos as the Tigers held on for a two vital points . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'out of' in a different context, expressing a preference rather than causing or preventing an action. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with movement/extraction or prevention.

The Tory civil war is set to go nuclear after the party suffered a humiliating defeat . Rishi Sunak announced he was going to step down once a new leader is found . But the party has been rocked after a number of Conservative big beasts - who could have been options - were booted out , including Penny Mordaunt and Grant Shapps . Former Cabinet member Robert Buckland turned his anger on his colleagues after becoming one of the first to lose his seat . In an astonishing broadside he hit out at them for saying saying " stupid " and " inflammatory " things and said he was sick of their " personal agendas " . As if to illustrate his point , former Home Secretary Suella Braverman appeared to launch her own leadership campaign by hitting out at the party leadership . After the party took heavy losses , those left will be scrapping to become leader of the opposition . The former Home Secretary , who launched the doomed Rwanda deportation scheme , is among the favourites to succeed Mr Sunak . Ms Patel , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Rishi Sunak , is popular among the Tory grassroots members and has a reputation as a hardliner .

" In November 2017 she resigned after a dressing down by Theresa May when it emerged he had held a meeting with Israeli officials without clearance from the Foreign Office . Her appointment to the top table by Boris Johnson raised eyebrows . In November 2020 a Cabinet Office investigation found she had broken the ministerial code over allegations of bullying , but she stayed in post . Suella Braverman and Robert Jenrick are both in the mix ( Image : Thomas Krych/ZUMA Press Wire/REX/Shutterstock ) Robert Jenrick spent his final few months being a thorn in Mr Sunak 's side - and became a darling of the hard-right . He quit as Immigration Minister because he did n't think the PM 's last Rwanda Bill - aimed at preventing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rebellion agains the PM by putting forward amendments as the party tore itself apart . Mr Jenrick said after he held onto his seat : " It is clearly an extremely difficult night for the Conservative Party and a deeply disappointing result , but in that context to have won here , against the odds , against almost every poll , is a huge compliment to my team and work that they do . " Mr Cleverly woke up this morning as Home Secretary , but was swept out of office by Labour 's landslide . The former Tory chairman was a popular figure in the now-obliterated Parliamentary group He 's previously served as Foreign Secretary under Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak , as well as a brief time as Education Secretary under Boris Johnson .

But after he was able to cling on , he could be tempted by another leadership bid . Mr Hunt , a fifth cousin of the late Queen , tried in vain to beat Boris Johnson to the top job following Theresa May 's resignation . He subsequently said he would n't put himself forward again , but the former Chancellor might fancy his chances . Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman is a deeply controversial figure who would likely cause a massive split in the Tory fold . During her spell in the Cabinet she came under fire for saying homelessness was a lifestyle choice and describing small boats as an ' invasion ' . She was eventually sacked by Mr Sunak for writing an article in The Times accusing police of having a " double standard " . In an angry tirade in the early hours of this morning , she said : " I 'm sorry my party did n't listen to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We did not keep our promises .

Ms Badenoch has a reputation for being fiery , illustrated by the public row she had with former Post Office chairman Henry Staunton , She launched an astonishing tirade in the Commons after he alleged he was told to go slow on paying compensation to victims of the Horizon scandal . She said following the party 's General Election mauling : " It 's also clear they have lost trust in politics and that is a big danger . The Conservatives must come back ... be in no doubt that work starts now . " The former Security Minister , who was a soldier before being elected to Parliament , admitted that Thursday had been a " very , very difficult night for the Conservative Party " . He hinted that he might want to run , saying : " What we need to be doing now is looking again at how we serve the British people .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It lacks a clear causer and causee relationship, and the phrase 'made a job out of playing a game' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a state or condition resulting from an activity, which is not characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

England winger Bukayo Saka hauled England back level against Switzerland to take the game to penalties , where he earned redemption for his Euro 2020 miss ( Image credit : Getty Images ) Bukayo Saka knows full well that the curse of being a footballer is that you are only ever moments away from becoming the unwitting villain of the piece . The beauty of being a footballer is that it offers opportunities for redemption . The Arsenal winger was handed that chance against Switzerland , and took it ... twice . The burden that Saka must have carried after the Euro 2020 final must have been scarcely tolerable even without the sickening racist abuse that was sent his ( and his teammates ' ) way .

VIDEO How France Won The WORST Game Of Euro 2024 The stakes should not be set so high : on back pages , in the stands , in the dressing room or on the streets . And yet , because this sport is our vessel for dreams of glory few of us will ever achieve for ourselves , that vicarious experience takes on meaning against all reason . Without Saka 's equaliser , England would now be heading home from Germany empty handed . Without his contribution to a faultless sequence of England penalties , Switzerland would have had the chance to haul themselves back level from the spot -- and who knows how it might have unfolded from there . The beaming grin on the 22 year old 's face after he sent Yann Sommer diving the wrong way , cupped his hands to his ears to receive the cheers of the England fans , and turned to pump a celebratory fist at his teammates was an absolute delight .

It did not , of course , and five other England players came up just as big as Saka in that shootout win : Jordan Pickford with his opening save , plus successful conversions from Cole Palmer , Jude Bellingham , Ivan Toney and Trent Alexander-Arnold . That list of names provided some vindication for Gareth Southgate , too .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses the phrase 'make such a joke out of everything now', where 'everything' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', and there is no VP[-ing] predicate involved. Additionally, it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses the phrase 'out of' in a different context, comparing the act of trying to make a diamond to something that cannot be a diamond, without involving a causee or a VP[-ing] predicate that induces a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a situation where a combination of actions is helping to mitigate the effect of falling circulations, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'take the sting out of falling circulations' does not involve a causee NP object participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to be an idiomatic expression unrelated to the construction in question.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes an ability to make things happen 'out of nothing', which is a different construction and does not involve a causee or the specific interpretations (movement/extraction or prevention) associated with the transitive out of -ing construction.

Everton have been linked with a move for Yaser Asprilla but what might the player potentially offer the Blues side ? Goodison News cites the Sunday People as reporting Everton have shown an interest in the ? 15m-rated Watford winger this summer and could lodge a bid .

The sentence 'He can make something out of nothing.' does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks a VP2[-ing] predicate and does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of nothing' is a prepositional phrase modifying 'make', not a VP[-ing] predicate.

Aston Villa have now decided to act after hearing about what could potentially be the most attractive market opportunity for some time . The Villans have already overseen some impressive business this summer , signing Enzo Barrenechea and Samuel Iling-Junior from Juventus in exchange for Douglas Luiz , while also receiving some cash as well . Monchi -- Director of Football at Villa Park -- has also signed Ross Barkley , Ian Maatsen and Lewis Dobbin , in what has been a busy summer . Now , contact has been made to bring another Juventus player to Aston Villa ... The Italy international used to be one of the hottest properties in Europe , with Juventus spending ? 54m to sign him from Fiorentina back in October 2020 . However , Chiesa sadly suffered a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury in January 2022 which ruled him out for roughly an entire year . Now , as the Italian enters the final 12 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new deal , Juventus have informed the rest of Europe that he is available for just ? 20m ( ? 17m ) . Photo by Masashi Hara/Getty Images Aston Villa are one of two sides who have been in touch with Juventus after hearing this , with Corriere dello Sport adding that Roma are also keen on signing Chiesa . The man from Genova scored ten goals and provided three assists in 37 appearances last season , as Juventus used him in four different positions across the attack . In our view , Aston Villa should stump up the asking price immediately . Chiesa -- who is still only 26 -- managed to avoid any serious setbacks last season , suggesting that he is well and truly over his injury problems , and for just ? 17m , Unai Emery could get his hands on a player who was only backed to become the " best player in Europe " by Cesare Prandelli in 2020 . The former Italy manager told La Nazione : " Chiesa must specialise in what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ does this , he will become the best player in Europe . " Photo by Image Photo Agency/Getty Images Furthermore , the Juventus No.7 is a tenacious figure , with his hunger to succeed even leading Joe Cole to compare him to Luis Suarez , saying : " The biggest attribute he 's got is he plays with a humility . He 's hustling and bustling like a young Luis Suarez . He can make something out of nothing . " Chiesa 's best position appears to be as a left winger cutting inside on his stronger right foot , an area Emery arguably has a vacancy for , with Leon Bailey and Moussa Diaby doing likewise on the other flank . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'sucks the joy out of learning' involves an NP object 'the joy' which is not a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'learning'. Additionally, it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Tim Smith-Laing 9 July 2024 at 0:15 pm*9-min read A dedicated cohort advocate for scrapping the English spelling system Here 's a challenge for you : read the following paragraph aloud . Fork the potatoes and work the tomatoes ? Hoe the rows now , then mow , and wait to weigh the hay ? Plough the rough right through ? With this cough , though ? The very thought . No -- you know that after school I 'm scheduled to shear the ewes , prune the yews , and bear beers for the four bare beardless bears here , before tearing in tears to hear a reading in Reading about seeding and shedding . Fun for two , perhaps -- none for one alone , on my own . How did you do ? None of the words here is unusual or rare ; none is longer than three syllables ; and I doubt any would cause more than a moment 's pause if you were asked to spell it . And yet , precisely thanks to spelling , it is a brain-twister @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to know that , despite their spellings " plough " , " rough " , " through " , " though " and " thought " have five different vowel sounds , while " hay " , " weigh " and " suede " , also despite their spellings , share just one . You will also need to know that while those all rhyme with " laid " , they do not rhyme with " plaid " , which rhymes with mad . " School " and " schedule " , " rows " and " row " , " ewes " , " yews " and " beardless bears " ... all blocks dropped in your path by a spelling system that can seem almost deliberately opaque . If you , as an adult , stumbled , just imagine being a child following the simple advice to " sound it out " . To be blunt , English spelling is hell . We labour under the yoke of what linguists term a " deep orthography " . If that sounds complimentary , it is not . In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ letter combinations we use to spell words ) and phonemes ( the sounds that make up words ) are predictable and clear . In Spanish , Italian or Finnish , for instance , to know how a word is said and how it is spelled is more or less the same thing . The deeper an orthography , the less clear these relationships are . English has , over the centuries , developed an orthography not only complex but inconsistent : one grapheme might represent several different phonemes , while one phoneme might be represented by several different graphemes . This is a system that no one in their right mind would ever invent , the product of one-and-a-half millennia of make-do-and-mend responses to the challenge of writing down Anglo-Saxon , a language that changed both speedily and chaotically into the English we use today . Benjamin Franklin called for a wholesale reconstruction of the alphabet in line with the principles of rationalism and democracy - Gwengoat Using the imported Roman alphabet and its sounds to transcribe the very different phonemes of Old English before it evolved @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ then Modern English , bearing the marks left by Viking and Norman invaders , English spelling has been playing patch-up and catch-up ever since it began . Nor did it help that , just as printed books were finally helping to settle conventions more permanently , the language underwent a huge change in pronunciation : the so-called Great Vowel Shift of the 15th-to-18th centuries , in which phonemes drifted away from the logic of the spellings with which they had been associated . Losing their moorings , words set off on their journey to where we are now , often without changing how they were written , such that " me " once sounded like our modern May , " house " like loose , and " boot " like moat . Swift and unruly , English has always outpaced our spelling . It is little wonder that the case for reform has been made so often . Already in the 1580s , Richard Mulcaster -- head of St Paul 's School in London -- was pointing out that " forenners and strangers do wonder at vs , both @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our letters " . Two centuries on , the new American republic seemed a promising place to fix such inconsistencies : Benjamin Franklin , among others , called for a wholesale reconstruction of the alphabet in line with the principles of rationalism and democracy . As the architect of the Capitol , William Thornton , exhorted his readers in 1793 , using a phonetic alphabet : " Iu hav korektid D ? deendjr ? s dokrinz ov Iuropii ? n p ? u ? rz , kirekt n ? w D ? langudjiz iu hav importid " ( " You have corrected the dangerous doctrines of European powers , correct now the languages you have imported " ) . For him and Franklin alike , the solution was to ensure that letters truly represented the sounds being heard -- yet neither man 's schemes caught on . Fundamentally , as a correspondent of Franklin who took the trouble to write according to his scheme pointed out , the old way was still " iisiiest . " Even in the 1890s , when the invention of the International Phonetic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its reach was limited . Staunch advocate Mark Twain himself could n't persuade readers to abandon their ABCs for a system with over a hundred symbols , diacritics and modifiers . Easy for lexicographers and linguists it may be , but any amateur who has ever tried to read IPA has almost certainly g ? v ? n ? p ? n d ? ' spe ? . George Bernard Shaw was among the early advocates of spelling reform - Bettmann Yet a dedicated cohort still argues for reform today . In Britain , the Simplified Speling Soesiety began its campaign for what it called " rashonaly-spelt English " in 1908 . With George Bernard Shaw among its early advocates , it set out on an optimistic note , counselling those who thought its efforts were " a bad joec " to " wait and se " . Undaunted by the failure of private member 's bills for spelling reform introduced by the Labour MP Mont Follick in 1949 and 1953 , its members have soldiered on ever since . Now known as the English Spelling Society @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spelled according to the standard rules , the ESS are unequivocal that ' English spelling is broken ' , and a blight on our tongue . For a measure of their passion , look no further than the society 's answer to the persistent objection that this broken system prevented neither the production of the glories of English literature or the unstoppable rise of global English : ' slavery , disease , war and countless other evils did not prevent these things , but we still do our best to eliminate them . ' Indeed . Still , they know they have a mountain to climb . Stephen Linstead , current treasurer and mastermind of his own Traditional Spelling Revised system , speaks to me with a mixture of crusading passion and rueful realism . " I 'm not the kind of person who wishes to straighten the curves and adopt things which are logical just for the sake of it " , he tells me , but " There is a distinct social and economic cost " to our system and its impact on literacy . He cites @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to 2.5 times as long as some European peers to acquire foundation literacy , as well as the simpler fact that spelling on its own " sucks the joy out of learning for so many young children " . To simplify it would , in his view , have demonstrable benefits . And yet the old roadblocks remain . Government action is certainly not likely for the simple reason that " There are no votes to be gained through spelling reform . " Instead , the ESS continues to search for a proposal they can agree on and promote , which might become " so popular and so widespread " that it vanquishes the old ways on its own . Therein , though , lies the rub . Unfortunately , Linstead says , " there are probably as many spelling schemes as there are supporters of reform . " The ESS currently lists some 24 different proposals as worthy of consideration , dating from the 1990s onwards , with six shortlisted at their 2021 International English Spelling Congress . Competing against proposals like Lytspel and Richspel which aim @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Spelling Revised system came out as the most favoured option . A " minimal respell " system , it would nevertheless respell many words in new ways : " good " as " guud " , " father " as " faather " , and " basic " as " baessic " . It is hard to see it exerting too much " inflooence " beyond committed enthusiasts . The logic may be unimpeachable , but the truth is that many of us love the idiosyncrasies of English spelling , and find it hard to worry about its supposed impacts . At St Barnabas ' Church of England Primary School in Pimlico , spelling is the least of the problems facing staff . Despite a high percentage of deprived families , and some 55 per cent of pupils speaking English as their second language , Sats results remain strong . With little classroom time given over to spelling specifically , around 85 per cent of the school 's pupils reach the government 's expected standard or above in English . The system is simple : phonics , taught early @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after continuing difficulties . When I explain the aims of the reformers to Lauren Castle , Head of School , she reacts with bemused curiosity . " You 're changing the entire system ? " she asks . Though a straw poll of Year 6 children showed unanimous support for simplification , I doubt they would fancy the reality of learning a whole new set of conventions , however logical . Learning spelling once is bad enough ; learning it twice seems like torture . Their form teacher Rebecca Haverty certainly did not . " Oh no , " she said , all but crossing herself at the thought . The truth is that , illogical as may be , I am not convinced that our spelling system quite " tuff enuff to make reform nessessary . " Perhaps more importantly , it is hard to imagine English standing still long enough for any reform to catch up with its constant evolution . It is not about to stop changing any time soon , and until it does , spelling will always get left behind . When I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the good-natured weariness of a man who has heard it many times before . " The case for spelling reform " , he sighs , " is not an easy one .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. While it includes 'out of' followed by a noun phrase ('housing crises'), the verb 'built' does not involve a causee participating in an event described by a VP[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'built its way out of' is more idiomatic and does not align with the grammatical properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

LONDON , ENGLAND -- JULY 8 : Chancellor Rachel Reeves gives a speech at the Treasury on July 8 , 2024 in London , England . Newly appointed Reeves makes her debut speech to an audience of leading business figures and senior stakeholders , announcing the first steps the new government will be taking to deliver economic growth at the Treasury . ( Photo by Jonathan Brady -- Pool/Getty Images ) Labour has promised to move fast and break things to get Britain building again , but will their plan actually work , asks Sam Griffiths Were elections a more humane sport , then this one would have been called off by referee stoppage weeks ago . Alas , the Conservative punishment beating only concluded on Thursday , and now the new Labour government is talking up its plans to move fast and break things to resuscitate Britain 's economic growth . Target number one is the planning system , with new Chancellor Rachel Reeves yesterday promising to " get Britain building again " with a raft of reforms . So what can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that might cause the new Starmer government to lose its nerve ? Front and centre for Labour is the restoration of mandatory housebuilding targets for local councils . The abolition of these targets has led to a marked decrease in planning permissions and slowed the progress of local plans , so this is a quick and easy win for Labour . Proposals to give more strategic planning powers and freedoms to combined authority mayors , in return for requirements to plan for housing growth in their areas , are sensible too . So far , so encouraging . Yet their manifesto ca n't help but indulge in some populist tropes about " international investors " and " speculative housebuilding " . This country would be in a happier place if only we had more of those knocking around . Starmer also wants to hire 300 new planning officers , which is a drop in the ocean to what the industry says is needed . But , in Labour 's defence , planning bureaucrats are unlikely to come out top on the sympathy list of public servants in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ money ca n't be the only problem , considering they often cough up enormous fees through planning performance agreements ( PPAs ) to self-finance their applications and still receive a poor service . A better solution to reduce council workloads would be to slash the size of planning applications back to the " single thick folder of documents " that used to suffice . Nowadays , applications can consist of hundreds of pages of make-work , examining everything from obscure species to health impacts . How often are these read by anyone apart from the consultants paid to write them ? Another headline-grabbing pledge announced by new levelling up secretary Angela Rayner is to build " a generation " of new towns . Such ideas are welcome but should not be the priority -- turbocharging growth will come from building new homes in and around the places people most desperately want to live , which are our most productive cities such as London , Oxford and Cambridge . Dropping new towns in places with little to attract people and employers wo n't have the same effect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if their pledges above are met , housebuilders simply do not have capacity to deliver the promised 300,000 homes a year right off the bat , with workforce and skills shortages serious supply constraints in the short term . However , in the longer term , markets have an extraordinary power to innovate and expand supply -- that is if a government gives them the right signals . The opportunity is there , for this new Labour government with a large majority , to radically reshape our failed planning system . This should include devolving business rates , building on green belt land around train stations and eventually moving towards a less-conditional zoning system . If Texas and Auckland can do it , we can too . This country built its way out of housing crises twice in the 20th century , and there is no reason we ca n't do so again . Sceptics rightly point out that Labour 's new backbenchers in suburban seats could prove a thorn in Starmer 's side as they come under pressure from NIMBY voters and political opponents on their left @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ should see this moment as an opportunity to transform the landscape of British politics , like Right to Buy once did . Many Tory MPs opposed planning reform in 2021 partly through a fear it would lead to a deluge of left-leaning liberal professionals moving into their leafy constituencies . Labour should be ruthless and accelerate this process through a massive expansion of housebuilding , and make the ' Blue Wall ' in the south of England even harder to rebuild . The problem with these sorts of economic reforms is it can take time to see the benefits , so governments often shy away , thinking they will have to do all the hard work and the fruits will only be borne once they are out of office . And time is something Labour may feel they do n't have much of , hence the urgency to move quickly in their first few weeks .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate that would induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it discusses the functionality of ChatGPT and how it can process text, which is unrelated to the construction in question.

ChatGPT launched to the world in November 2022 ( Image credit : Choong Deng Xiang/Unsplash ) It 's been hard to ignore ChatGPT -- the Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer -- since OpenAI launched it publicly in November 2022 . It 's had a profound effect on everything from searching for information to novel writing , and the momentum behind it does n't look like slowing down anytime soon . ChatGPT is a generative artificial intelligence engine , capable of producing text and images that look as though they were created by a human being . That 's because it 's been trained on vast amounts of data pulled from the web , enabling it to act like a sort of super-powerful autocorrect prediction system that knows what should go where . While you 've probably heard of ChatGPT by this point , you might not have tried it yet , which is where we can help . Anyone can utilize ChatGPT for free on the web and via the mobile apps for Android and iOS , or using the ChatGPT @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ help you to make the most of what ChatGPT can offer . There 's a little bit of setup involved with your first session with ChatGPT . 3 quick starter tips 1 . Be specificTell ChatGPT exactly what you want out of its response , whether you need it to be of a certain length , or have a certain tone , or whatever else . The more information you give it , the more relevant the reply is going to be.2 . Copy and pasteIf you need to get the text generated by ChatGPT somewhere else , the easiest way to do it is via the copy text icon ( the small clipboard ) that appears at the bottom of every response that 's produced in the web interface.3 . Install the mobile appsYou can install official ChatGPT apps for Android and iOS -- not only do they give you access to all of your conversations on the go , they also let you activate voice control for the AI bot , so you can chat to it like Siri or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , where you can sign up and create an account . You have to be logged in to use it . We 're going to use the browser version of Chat GPT here because it 's the easiest way to get started . If you 're using the mobile or app version , see steps 7 and 8 below . You can create an account easily using your Google , Microsoft or Apple account , or simply use an email address and password . The only details you need to provide to ChatGPT are your name and birthday , and then you 're up and running . Free accounts now use the latest ChatGPT 4o , which is smarter than the previous version , understands images , and can browse the web . This means your queries are n't limited to when the old ChatGPT 3 stopped learning , which was September 2021 . Now you can ask ChatGPT about current events and get accurate answers . Sign up for breaking news , reviews , opinion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me with news and offers from other Future brandsReceive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsorsBy submitting your information you agree to the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over . ChatGPT provides a prompt ( the grey box at the bottom of the screen with " Message ChatGPT " written in it ) . This is where you type in your questions . Here are some ideas to get started with . Get ChatGPT to respond with a song , if you want ( Image credit : Future , OpenAI , Apple ) Our first tip : do n't be afraid to be creative and experiment . You can ask ChatGPT to produce text on just about anything , whether you want a plot for a murder mystery novel , or you 'd like black holes to be explained in simple terms , or you need a speech for a wedding . You 'll also see some prompt suggestions when you first open up the web app . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , too . You can tell it to adopt a certain tone of voice , or to speak to a certain type of audience , or even to answer in rhyming couplets . And you can have the AI bot produce tables of information , or code to execute a certain task , and many other things ; there 's lots of scope in terms of what 's possible . ChatGPT can keep your prompts and its responses in its memory , so you can easily send follow-up queries and questions as you work through your conversations with the AI . This is helpful if you want a bit more clarity on something , or you want an analogy to further explain a concept , or the code you 've generated needs tweaking to do something else . And of course you can use it to refine the answer you 've received -- for instance asking it to " summarize the above in 100 words " or " give me more detail " about a specific aspect of it , without needing to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more about yourself If you tell ChatGPT more about yourself , it can tailor the way it responds to you : on the web interface , click your profile image ( top right ) , then choose Customize ChatGPT . In the first field , you can enter information like where in the world you 're based , what your interests are , what you do for work , and so on -- just do n't share anything too personal . In the second field , you can give ChatGPT some pointers on how it should respond to you by default ( you can override these settings if needed ) . You might want to set how long typical responses should be , or what kind of tone the bot should normally use , for example . You can also tell ChatGPT how opinionated it should get when providing you with responses . You 'll notice some little icons at the bottom of every response that ChatGPT gives . The first , which looks like a standard ' copy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ second is for regenerating the response ( the circular arrow ) . The next is for a bad response . Use it if you want ChatGPT to come up with a different answer based on the same prompt . Finally , there 's the option to switch the LLM used between ChatGPT 4o and ChatGPT 3.5 for the response . There are many reasons why you might want to share some of your ChatGPT conversations , whether that 's with a single person over an email or more widely on a social media network . Perhaps you want to showcase the ingenuity ( or stupidity ) of the AI , or you 've created a resource that you want other people to have access to , for instance . Click the three dots next to any of your chats in the left-hand menu of the web interface to find the Share option . You 'll be given a preview and a link to copy ; this can be pasted anywhere you like , but bear in mind that anyone who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . You 're also able to give the chat a name other than the one assigned to it by default , if you want to . ChatGPT-4o can answer questions about any image you upload ( Image credit : Future ) You do n't always have to get ChatGPT to come up with text out of nothing : you can also paste blocks of text into your prompts , then ask for it to be rewritten in simpler ( or more complex ) terms , or get it to explain a concept in the text that you do n't understand . You can even get it to critique your writing in terms of its flow and readability . Alternatively , click the attachment button in the prompt to upload an image from your computer , Google Drive or OneDrive , and ask ChatGPT some questions about it . Since ChatGPT 4o was released it can analyze images as well as text . You can chat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) Just as you can talk to Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa , so too can you converse with ChatGPT via the power of your voice -- in the mobile app at least . You 'll need to install ChatGPT from your mobile device 's App Store to access this feature . It 's available for iOS and Android . You might find that it 's a more natural way of working with the AI , and you can launch it by tapping the headphones icon right at the end of the text input box in any of your conversations with ChatGPT . The first time you use the feature you 'll be asked to choose a voice for ChatGPT to reply in , which you can change later by tapping your name on the sidebar and then Settings . Voice chats can be ended by tapping the red and white cross icon when you 're done , and you 'll then be shown a text transcript of the chat you 've just had that you can refer back to . ChatGPT also exists as an app for macOS . Your Mac needs to be running macOS 14+ and Apple Silicon ( that 's any of the M-series processors ) for the macOS app to be able to run ChatGPT . The advantage of using the app is that it 's much faster to access than using ChatGPT through a browser on your desktop . For example , you can call up the app by simply tapping ' option ' and the space bar together . Another strength of the Mac app is that it can ' see ' what 's on your screen , so you can ask it questions about an image you have open on your desktop , for instance .

A Conservative politician has stormed out of a " barbarous " county council meeting after public speaking time was cut short and a number of IT issues prevented some residents from contributing altogether . Councillor Nick Field-Johnson , who represents the Burford & Carterton North division , left the full council meeting at County Hall today ( July 9 ) slamming the amount of time allowed for public speaking as " unacceptable " . Oxfordshire County Council welcomed questions from members of the public but the chairman Alison Rooke said they would only be able to speak for 90 seconds rather than the standard five minutes . Technical difficulties also meant some people who had registered to speak remotely were not able to share their thoughts full stop prompting some councillors to volunteer to read questions on their behalf . The chair apologised for the IT disruption and explained the shorter allocation of time as due to concerns arouns getting through the agenda . Dan Glazebrook was among those to have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Council . ) Speaking out at the meeting , Mr Field-Johnson , of the Conservative Independent Alliance , said : " We 're elected here on the behest of our residents . " They have a right to speak to us and we would expect to hear from them . " Five minutes is the norm - a minute-and-a-half is completely unacceptable . " We 're here to listen to our residents . " What you should do is cut back the number of speakers maybe on a particular motion . " But to reduce it to one-and-a-half minutes is not acceptable . " And I 'd ask you to overrule that . " The chamber . ( Image : Noor Qurashi . ) Ms Rooke said " I feel your concern councillor Johnson " but referred to the monitoring officer for an answer .

Mr Johnston responded : " I 'm going to go outside and meet my residents and spend quality time with them rather than listening to a 90 second abridged version here . " I am now leaving the chamber . " Before coming up to take his allocated time , one public speaker said the 90 seconds was " bloody ridiculous " . A number of IT issues meant councillors such as Damian Haywood , Sally Povolotsky , Eddie Reeves and Stefan Gawrysiak volunteered to read out the speeches of certain members of the public who had sent them through . Commenting on the IT shortcomings , Ms Povolotsky said : " It feels very unfair -- if people send me their statements I can read them out .

Ms Rooke said : " I think broadly you 're absolutely right -- yet on this occasion with IT yet again failing us I think it should be an option .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It describes an action of creating space out of nothing, which does not involve a causee or a prevention/movement interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

That 's because Spain starlet Lamine Yamal 's latest trick in his breakthrough tournament was to break the record for the youngest-ever goalscorer in the competition and set a mark that may never be broken . At just 16 years and 362 days ( he turns 17 the day before the Euro 2024 final ) , Yamal was one of the first names on the Spanish team sheet for their semi-final clash against France and he quickly repaid manager Luis de la Fuente 's faith in him .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes a situation involving movement in and out of toilets, which does not involve a causer causing a causee to move or preventing them from doing something as per the construction's requirements. The phrase 'out of stinking, overflowing toilets' is a prepositional phrase describing location, not a VP[-ing] predicate with a movement or prevention interpretation.

Justin Walley was an England home-and-away regular in his younger days , and recalls a crazy trip to Rotterdam in the Netherlands which was ruined by anarchy , arrests ... and Ronald Koeman ( Image credit : Getty Images ) When England travelled to the Dutch city of Rotterdam in 1993 , Graham Taylor 's side needed just a point in order to qualify for the 1994 World Cup . With a place in the USA tournament at stake , it 's one that few will ever forget . We travelled to Holland in our thousands on the topsy-turvy cross-channel ferries -- beer cans and fry-ups aplenty -- knowing that we needed a draw to have any hope of England securing a place at the World Cup the following summer . My partner in crime for the trip was a mate from Bournemouth University , Ian , who had also been part of the uni football team that had toured in the Netherlands a few months earlier . Aged 22 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and that football tour to the Netherlands had been a real eye-opener for me . I realised that my football ability was better suited to the more technical Dutch game , and my England trip was also a personal recce to see whether I enjoyed the country enough -- the second time -- to seriously consider moving there in the hope of playing semi-pro football . Ian and I decided to go under the radar by arriving early and staying in Utrecht to avoid the anticipated trouble in Rotterdam and Amsterdam . The atmosphere was tense from the moment we arrived to say the very least , but setting up base in Utrecht proved to be a wise move . VIDEO : Why Cody Gakpo 's A Huge Problem For England We attended the U21 game there , which ended 1-1 in front of just 3,000 . In hindsight , I wish some of the members of that U21 team -- which included Trevor Sinclair , Jamie Redknapp , Andy Cole and Ugo Ehiogu -- had been included in the senior squad . I remember seeing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at that game . There were already plenty of stories about stuff that had gone off in Holland , and rumours of what to expect in Rotterdam . Ian and I had a fantastic couple of nights out in the candlelit cafes along the Oudegracht canal , however , where we met some nice Dutch girls and then travelled into Rotterdam by train on the day of the game . Aside from an ominous presence around the U21 game , we did n't see a sniff of trouble in Utrecht . The best features , fun and footballing quizzes , straight to your inbox every week . Contact me with news and offers from other Future brandsReceive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsorsBy submitting your information you agree to the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over . In those days , travelling by train when you were with England away was always tense . You were instinctively nervous that a local firm would board and give you a kicking . Or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The trains were jam-packed . There might not have been internet , but the word was out that it was going off big time in Rotterdam : mass arrests with England lads held in something resembling ' camps ' , a ' tennis ball bomb ' thrown into a bar , huge running brawls with the police and opposition fans ; one England lad shot in the leg ... Ian and I avoided the city centre as much as possible and made straight for the stadium , reasoning that it was wise to get there well in advance of kick-off while most of the trouble was still in Rotterdam 's centre . When I watched the film Children Of Men a few years later , it rather put me in mind of what it looked like that night in Rotterdam . Anyone who was there will understand what I mean . I carried a claret/yellow and white Northampton Town/Hinckley flag with me to all England away games in those days , which also encouraged me to get to games at least an hour before kick-off -- I liked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the front page of the Daily Mirror after Ireland vs England was abandoned in 1995 , and prominently in the background of tabloid photos of David Beckham celebrating his winning goal against Argentina at the 2002 World Cup in Japan ) . Platt and Koeman battle for the ball ( Image credit : Getty Images ) England had more than 5,000 fans packed into the double-decker stands behind the goal , although there were noticeable gaps where arrested fans had failed to make it into the Feyenoord Stadium . The rumour before kick-off was that a mind-boggling 800 England supporters had been arrested in total . To put this in context : 339 were arrested at the 1990 Poll Tax riots in London . Emergency bylaws were brought in by the city of Rotterdam rather akin to the types of draconian powers that suddenly exist under martial law , meaning the police had pretty much carte blanche . England fans told us how they were taken out of bars and given a kicking down side streets . Everyone admitted that there were plenty of England lads being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ control and Dutch hooligans were getting away with murder ( well , almost ) . Thanks to one kind-hearted steward , I got my flag down on the concrete in front of the metal fences and razor wire that imprisoned us behind the goal . It made me happy knowing friends and family watching at home on ITV would see it . Ian and I posed for photos through the metal fencing , surrounded by Birmingham City , Atherstone United , Bedford , Arsenal and Swindon Town flags . We wanted to have a couple more beers before the game but , unsurprisingly , England fans were n't allowed to buy alcohol inside the ground . Incredibly , we discovered that Dutch fans were purchasing beer on the other side of the giant metal segregation fences , and comically goading us like little schoolboys . I calmed myself with the notion that they were drinking non-alcoholic beer and did n't realise it . Bergkamp in action for the Netherlands ( Image credit : Getty Images ) We were in white and the Dutch were in orange , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Marco van Basten was still out injured , which was just as well since England were shorn of the suspended Gazza , plus injured pair Stuart Pearce and Les Ferdinand . Strangely , Carlton Palmer started the game at right-midfield rather than in a defensive capacity . The atmosphere was raw , loud ... very loud . It was hostile , tribal , masculine , heart-poundingly tense and very , very exciting . The Dutch had England on the back foot in the opening exchanges and created a number of chances as they attacked the goal in front of our end . But after weathering the early storm , David Platt and Paul Merson both had chances . On 24 minutes , Ronald Koeman should have got booked for poleaxing Paul Ince . Tony Dorigo smacked the post with the resultant free-kick . A minute later , Tony Adams found himself in the unusual position of being one-on-one with an opposition goalkeeper , only to see his goal-bound effort cleared off the line . Some fans thought it was only a matter of time before we scored @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ volley over the crossbar after the German referee somehow managed to play a one-two with Jan Wouters ; then it was head-in-hands time just before the break when Frank Rijkaard nipped in to score for the Dutch . Only he did n't : the goal was given offside , but after the game I discovered that Rijkaard had in fact timed his run perfectly and the goal should have stood . Somehow , a breathtaking first half ended 0-0 . In those days , you spent much of the half-time break shuffling in and out of stinking , overflowing toilets to offload bladders full of beer , and spent what remained of the break debating the game and taking in a full-on atmosphere . On 55 minutes , Andy Sinton played a long ball over the top of the Dutch defence to David Platt , who ran clear on goal right in front of us . Platt was brilliant for England , and as he darted towards the penalty area , most of us expected him to drill the ball past the oncoming Ed de Goey and put @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ done for pace , was n't going to allow that to happen . He pulled Platt down on the edge of the box . Taylor and his coaching staff on the bench ( Image credit : Getty Images ) You could call it cheating . You might call it taking one for the team . Either way , Koeman knew that if England had scored , there was every likelihood that they would be the ones on that plane to New York the following summer . He knew he was about to see red . The referee ran towards the penalty area and pointed to the spot . We were all jumping around celebrating . In the context of likely only needing a point from the game , England looked to be on the verge of World Cup qualification . In that atmosphere , it felt like your heart might explode from the adrenaline . But , as things settled down in the England end , a penalty had become a free-kick without explanation . We waited to see the red card flashed at Koeman , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moment it was penalty to England and the Dutch about to go down to 10 men ; the next it was Holland illegally charging down England 's free-kick and getting away with it . Even Koeman looked embarrassed . " I expected the red card , " he shrugged afterwards . Everyone expected the red . To this day , I do n't understand what ref Karl Josef Assenmacher was thinking about . His bizarre interpretation of various incidents in that game changed the destiny of the 1994 World Cup . The Koemans were obviously close friends of Assenmacher , as Ronald 's younger brother Erwin then kicked Paul Parker in the crown jewels a couple of minutes later -- and got away without a booking for a challenge that would definitely see red ( and never-ending GIFs ) today . Big moments in the game were now occurring seconds rather than minutes apart . On the hour mark , Holland were awarded a free-kick themselves on the edge of the England penalty area , at the opposite end of the ground . Koeman stood over the ball @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But there was yet more frustration for England as the referee ordered it to be retaken because Paul Ince was alleged to have illegally charged down Koeman 's poor effort . That w***er is going to score ! I 'm sure I remember people around me shouting that . Maybe it was in my own head . Look at Seaman ! He 's miles off his line ! From the other end of the stadium where we were standing , Seaman 's positioning did look instinctively wrong . " He 's gon na flip one now ! " Brian Moore warned the millions watching on TV back home . Koeman stepped up again , and like a slow-motion car-crash , curled the ball into the top corner . The Dutch fans went absolutely mental ; the noise was insane . There was a lot of smoke from flares and the whole stadium seemed to shake . We were incredulous , lads shouting as if VAR from the science fiction future would time travel back in time to overrule the goal and red card Koeman for his earlier crime @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . At some point , a distress flare fired from the Dutch terraces flew across the stadium at frightening speed and smashed into empty seats only a couple of rows away from us . I remember going mental . We all knew if that had hit anyone , there 's a good chance they would have been killed . It almost hit me and I remember reacting by jumping around and screaming profanities at the Dutch . One month later , a fan was killed by a distress flare in an almost identical incident at Wales vs Romania . The atmosphere turned more hostile ; nasty , tense . But , again , within seconds -- not minutes -- it was another destiny-defining moment in a game that seemed to be filled with them from start to finish . England won a free-kick in front of us , 20 yards out . Dorigo looked set to launch another piledriver , but instead Merson tricked everyone and lofted a curling shot , completely evading the defensive wall . It looked destined for the net . Instinctively , we were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ impossible drama , it hit the inside of the post and flashed across the six-yard box ... and away to safety . Seconds felt heavy . Time seemed to slow down and speed up . The noise was incredible . What on earth could happen next ? The answer : an incredible passage of Total Football from the Dutch , ending with Seaman pulling off one of the best double saves you will ever see ; first from Bergkamp and second from Rijkaard . England went straight up the other end , to ' our end ' , and Dorigo flashed just wide . It was still game on , with Ian Wright about to make his entrance ; probably alongside Alan Shearer . From that goal-kick , the ball was flicked on and reached Bergkamp 40 yards from goal . He blatantly controlled the ball with his hand but referee Assenmacher was n't about to do the right thing and stop play . Bergkamp , one of the greatest players of his era , ran at the last England defender , wrong-footed him and smashed a shot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Game over . At the final whistle , 90 per cent of the stadium erupted in celebration . The Dutch knew they were on the plane to America . Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life was played at full blast . It sounds funny now , but it certainly was n't at the time and was clearly done as provocation . The Dutch goaded England fans once more through the segregation and threw plastic pint glasses full of urine at us . The authorities kept us behind for a long time . Many people missed trains , flights and buses . I remember Dutch police sat all around us in the lower tier ; the officer nearest to me kept banging a baton -- accessorised with a Dutch scarf tied around it -- in his hand , wanting us to react . Things were like that in those days . We just wanted to go home , wherever home was . Seats were set on fire at the top of the double-decker as they continued to detain us inside the Feyenoord Stadium . Leaving the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but that was the norm then . While England fans were very naughty , foreign authorities -- almost universally -- only made matters much worse . It was usual to get attacked by police or set up by the press , or for local authorities to make naive decisions in their matchday planning . I saw it time after time away from home post-1992 : from Malmo to Dublin ; Katowice to Marseille . Poland was the most absurd . Taylor 's penultimate game in charge ( Image credit : Getty Images ) I do n't actually remember us getting back that night . Or was it the next morning ? Dozens were arrested in Amsterdam , the departure point for the majority of England fans . My emotions after the game were anger , shock , frustration and disillusionment . The refereeing in that game was so bad it felt like it had been rigged -- so we did n't take our hooligans to the United States . I was n't a fan of Graham Taylor as England manager . Instead of pushing on , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But we still had some unbelievable talent -- Shearer , Wright , Platt , Pearce and Gascoigne -- and you felt we had to qualify for the USA World Cup . In hindsight , it was terrible how Taylor was treated by the tabloids , but he did himself -- and especially not Phil Neal and Lawrie McMenemy -- no favours with the Impossible Job documentary filmed that night . But for all the shortcomings of Taylor et al , they deserved to get at least the point they needed to qualify . England failed to qualify for USA 94 , and within a month he was gone . Of course , truthfully this was all a blessing in disguise : three years later at Euro 96 I injured my leg at Wembley going mad celebrating England 's fourth goal , as a rejuvenated England under Terry Venables thrashed the Dutch 4-1 . As for me ? Well , believe it or not , despite all the violence , that trip did convince me that I wanted to move to Holland . A few months later , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ready to begin life in Amsterdam and Utrecht and pursue my dream of playing at least semi-pro football in the Netherlands . I got let down by the two girls I 'd met previously , and who 'd promised to put me up : one had a new boyfriend , and absurdly , the other had n't told me she was still at sixth form and lived with her parents . I was kicked out after four days staying in the attic at her parents ' . I spent one night sleeping rough in an Amsterdam park , applied for a job at Greenpeace 's HQ in Amsterdam and got shortlisted , accidentally got mixed up in a violent riot between Ajax and Utrecht fans at the old Ajax stadium ... and very quickly ran out of money . Walley in 2018 ( Image credit : Getty Images ) Within two weeks I was back home in Leicestershire , and surprised my mates by walking in on a Friday night out they were enjoying . I expected them to rip the piss out of me , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tales from doing so . I 'd failed , but there is no shame in that . In fact , the experience taught me to better plan for future adventures abroad . I have never forgotten that night . Truthfully , I still resent the Dutch a little bit for how we were treated in Rotterdam . Whenever they 've played since that day , I always support the other team ( well , unless it 's France or Argentina ) . It was epic . It was football as opera . Bergkamp , Koeman , Overmars , Rijkaard , Shearer , Ince , Adams -- you do n't always realise at the time quite how crazy it was on so many levels . The result was completely gutting , but we follow football for entertainment and nights like those . That night in Rotterdam was one of the most exciting games of football I 've ever witnessed , played in one of the most intense atmospheres I 've ever known . I 'm still gutted that it all panned out so badly and England failed to qualify @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the fact that I was there to experience the craziness. |

The sentence 'Daniel Johnson and Lewis Baker were edged out of playing time as last season wore on' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Here, 'Daniel Johnson and Lewis Baker' is the NP object, 'were edged' is the V1 in passive voice, and 'out of playing time' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. The interpretation is prevention, as the players were prevented from having playing time. This aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it describes a physical movement (moving his family out of Downing Street) without involving a VP2[-ing] predicate or the characteristic interpretations (movement/extraction or prevention) of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The MPs who lost their seats spent yesterday clearing out their offices . Their passes stop working later this week , and then they have a few months to wind up their offices and constituency work before truly becoming ex MPs . It is a brutal experience , not least because Westminster is buzzing with newly-elected members . There is always a risk that someone congratulates a member they think has come back as a victorious MP -- only to find out they are in fact on their way to pack their working life into cardboard boxes and make their staff redundant . Before an election , some MPs choose to clear out their offices early , just in case they 're not coming back . But in this campaign , there were a good number of Conservatives who only had an academic understanding that their party was going to lose seats : they did n't realise that they would be among the numbers being shown the door by the electorate . Losing your seat is , as Jeremy Hunt said last week , part of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say , perhaps , given he held onto his but he nonetheless had to move his family out of Downing Street where they had been living while he was chancellor . But I understand that he actually wrote that line before he knew he would hold his seat : he could have easily adapted it to a scenario where he was conceding to his opponents . He was at least prepared for that outcome . Many of his colleagues were n't , and even though they knew the risks when they came into Westminster , the blow of losing your job is still as heavy for an MP as it is for anyone else -- especially given it happens live on TV with a lot of people cheering your victorious opponent . The parties themselves have a duty of care to their MPs . But how much support they offer often depends on how organised the party machine is -- and the Tory machine is very far from that description at present . On 5 July , party chairman Rich @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' our priority over the next few weeks is your wellbeing and to provide support where we can as you close your campaign and transition to what you decide to do next ' . This included an offer from Conservative Campaign Headquarters ' HR team to speak to any staffers and pointers to the services offered by parliament . Those services have improved greatly this time around . Charles Walker stepped down at the election as Tory MP for Broxbourne , and was chair of the Administration select committee . He and his committee had been deeply worried about the way ex-MPs have been treated in the past , pointing to a lack of career options and help with the transition . This time around , he has been working , along with the clerks and a team of volunteers , on what he calls a ' transformative ' system for moving former MPs back into civilian life . There is a departing members area where ' Non-Returned Members ' , as they are delicately known , are given advice on HR , security , pensions and their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ months of access to a support service offering counselling , debt and financial advice . There is also a career transition scheme being delivered by Right Management Ltd which will offer them career planning , coaching and CV writing . After previous elections , unseated MPs have walked into the local job centres because they did n't know where else to go . Some of them will do that this time around , too , but at least their former employer now offers them some help for moving on . Walker says : ' I 'm very , very proud of the way the House staff are delivering this . My clerk on the Administration committee put in a thirteen hour shift to help ex-MPs yesterday . ' There is a reason that this sort of support matters to the rest of us . Being an MP is not an easy life , and it never will be . But the increasing volatility of politics coupled with the fact that employers now often view ex-MPs with some suspicion ( they are seen as a deflator on boards ) means @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have a reasonable landing on the way out is a really important factor to those considering going into parliament -- and we need the very best to have a reason to do that . The election is over and with MPs now being sworn in , where better to take the temperature of Westminster then at The Spectator 's annual summer party ? Wes Streeting and Bridget Phillipson were among the cabinet ministers in attendance while James Cleverly , Tom Tugendhat and Kemi Badenoch represented the opposition frontbench . From the Lords came Peter |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'make the most out of' which is a phrasal verb followed by a noun phrase 'challenging markets', not a VP[-ing] predicate. There is no causer-causee relationship, and it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Barratt is currently in the process of merging with its smaller rival , Redrow . Once formed , the ' Barratt Redrow ' behemoth could become one of the country 's largest builders with revenue of up to ? 7.45bn . However , analysts are wary of the company 's access to land and question whether it will be able to meet its -- and the government 's -- homebuilding targets . " Barratt 's performance this year is testament to its efficient operations . It is a very well-oiled machine that is able to make the most out of challenging markets , " Anthony Codling , head of European Housing and Building Materials research , said . " That said , in our view , its short landbank strategy can hold it back , and whilst we see improving market conditions in the year ahead , Barratt expects its volumes to be lower . " It can build homes very well . It just does n't have the land on which to build them , " he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its guidance for the year ahead . It has said it would target construction of 13,000 to 13,500 homes during the 12 months to June next year , a drop of 7 per cent from the 14,004 homes it built during the last financial year . " The potential acquisition of Redrow should address the landbank issues , and may cover over this issue , but it will bring its own integration challenges , " Codling added . The deal was approved by both sets of shareholders back in May , but the merger is currently being reviewed by the Competition and Markets Authority ( CMA ) . The review is expected to be decided on 8 August . " The UK homebuilding industry is having a tough time getting planning permissions . Plus , with many homeowners expected to sell due to high mortgage costs in the next 12-18 months , the demand for new builds could drop , " Yanmei Tang , an analyst at Third Bridge , said . " The good news is that labour @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a while , volume builders like Barratt are diversifying their suppliers to keep rising build costs in check . " Acquiring Redrow can boost Barratt 's market position . They can use Redrow 's land to support their projects and share land banks to re-plan and introduce new products . Redrow is known for its quality , offering a more premium product than Barratt . " However , Yang added that Barratt 's strict land-buying model -- which requires a 33 per cent profit margin -- has prevented them from buying land in competitive areas . Barratt is one of the companies expected to benefit from Labour 's housing policy , which could see as many as 1.2m homes built under the current parliament -- equivalent to 300,000 homes per year . " We welcome the new government 's urgency and focus on housebuilding and reform of the planning system as key to both unlocking economic growth and tackling the chronic undersupply of new homes , " Barratt said on Wednesday . " We look forward to working with government and wider stakeholders to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of all tenures , the country needs , " the company added . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'built such an illustrious career out of clowning on Malenia' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

In a video uploaded to LMSH 's YouTube channel yesterday -- titled " Let Me Solo Them " -- he makes short work of the schmuck in both phases in just under five minutes . That 's 2.8% of the time it took him originally . Also , his ensemble includes a tattered cape now , which I find very fetching . His strategy is , well , to be much better at Elden Ring than I 've ever been at anything I 've ever attempted . Radahn just can not get a hit in : Wherever his swords are , LMSH is n't , and all the while our jar-headed champion is hurting him with all sorts of specially attuned rapiers , building up rot and bleed and frostbite and just generally making @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a kind of mastery I could never hope to match , but I can maybe benefit from it anyway . It looks like LMSH is open for business outside Radahn 's boss arena in much the same way he once was outside of Malenia 's , meaning players can summon him for assistance ( or to just fight the boss for them ) if they 're so inclined .

Defence Secretary John Healey said the UK would seek to join more European Union military programmes as the world deals with " a decade or more " of Russian aggression . At the Nato summit in Washington , Mr Healey said the Government 's review of defence policy and spending would be carried out " at pace " in response to the threats facing the UK . He suggested that closer integration with EU defence programmes and deals with member states would not need to wait for an overall security pact with Brussels . Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer with Defence Secretary John Healey at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington DC ( Stefan Rousseau/PA ) The Government 's strategic defence review will be launched next week , setting out how Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer intends to meet his spending target of 2.5% of gross domestic product . Mr Healey told reporters : " What is really clear is that we 're facing a decade or more of growing Russian aggression . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first priority . " That 's why on my second day in the job , I flew to Odesa and I spent the afternoon with ( Volodymyr ) Zelensky and his team . " And when we 're facing growing threats across the board , then ... the strategic defence review is our chance as a new government to get to grips with the threats that we face , the capabilities that we 've got , the true state of the armed forces and of course the finances that may be available . " The review was " the way that we balance the requirements of stronger national security with the responsibilities of sound public finances " . " It needs to be done at pace , it will be done properly , " he said . Mr Healey insisted that seeking closer defence ties with Brussels would not bind the UK into a European defence force . But he suggested the UK could seek to join more areas of the EU 's permanent structured co-operation ( Pesco ) programme . On defence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to look at where there may be areas that we can contribute on defence to a stronger European security , and actually it 's in our British interests to do a bit more togetherDefence Secretary John Healey The UK is already part of one Pesco scheme on moving military equipment across the EU . Mr Healey said : " So we 've proved we can do it . There are one or two other programmes which may well be programmes in which we have a unique contribution to make and we can get a great deal out of being part of a programme like that . " That does not require any new formal agreement , it does not require a EU-UK security pact in order to do that . " Sir Keir will host the European Political Community summit next week which will give a further chance for him to lobby for greater co-operation . Mr Healey acknowledged that talks on the formal UK-EU security pact sought by the Government were unlikely to start this year . " In a way the declaration @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ significant by the European Union and its members , " he said . " You 'll know that the European Union , European Commission takes a good few months to get itself sorted out and so it wo n't be until the end of the year that it 's really in a position to start doing any sort of detailed discussion with us . " So that 's why for me on defence , we can move faster than that , we must move faster than that . " Mr Healey added : " On defence , we do n't need an EU-UK pact in order to look at where there may be areas that we can contribute on defence to a stronger European security , and actually it 's in our British interests to do a bit more together .

Hull FC may have improved in recent weeks , particularly in terms of performances , which have seen a sequence of more competitive displays . However , for Simon Grix , the club 's big reality has n't changed . Even with six new recruits confirmed and more still to come , the interim coach is still cautious about the long-term project . For the 38-year-old , Hull 's trajectory is still a lengthy process and not an overnight fix . However , Grix is confident that Hull can continue to get better and make improvements , but all within context . Of course , the Black and Whites are aiming to get back to the upper enclaves of the Super League competition , but again , the reality is that it may take time and patience , with all connected to the club needing to hold their nerve and see their plan out of developing young players and adding quality and experience to help and support them . " Looking ahead , we 're going to be better , " Grix said of Hull 's immediate future . " Obviously , all of your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my opinion would be that it 's the same as Tony 's was , and it 's unpopular , but it 's not an overnight fix . " One swing of the axe and changing a load of blokes in one shot is not going to make us Grand Final winners . That has to be the end goal ; otherwise , we would n't be involved in it , but we have to understand that it did n't take an overnight fall from the heights of 2016 and 2017 , when the club was winning the Challenge Cup and doing okay in the league . " We have to understand that it 's a process to work back towards that . A lot of good stuff will happen on the way to that , and part of my involvement at the moment , along with Franny ( Cummins ) , Jason ( Davidson ) , and all of the lads , is making sure we develop these young lads to be a part of it . " There 's no point in waxing lyrical about these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when we swing into the next pre-season . We have to make the future about them as much as it is about these new blokes coming in . There 's rhyme and reason for all of them , and there are gaps that need to be filled , but it 's going to be a long process . " We could prove everyone wrong and go great next season , and I 'd absolutely love that , but realistically , going from the bottom end to the top , it 's not going to happen overnight . We 've got to be patient with it . " |

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

On a Wednesday evening a couple of weeks ago , a friend and I stifled giggles as we sat on her bed . The door was firmly shut , in case our children tried to barge in . And what we were about to do felt as naughty and illicit as that first cigarette behind the bike sheds as schoolgirls . In front of us was my friend 's Wegovy injection ' pen ' -- which is , alongside Ozempic , one of the self-administered weight-loss jabs that have taken the world by storm . And she was offering to share it with me so I could see for myself what it was like . But I am not overweight -- far from it . My body mass index ( BMI ) is 21.7 , at the lower end of the ' normal ' range , while my friend is slim and elegant with a glossy Instagram feed in which she looks fabulous ( and thin ) . So what , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doing with a prescription-only medication used to tackle severe obesity and type 2 diabetes ? In hindsight , I wonder the same thing . In fact , I ca n't believe I was so stupid and bitterly regret my experiment . Charlotte Griffiths tried the Wegovy injection ' pen ' -- which is , alongside Ozempic , one of the self-administered weight-loss jabs that have taken the world by storm But what we did is far from unusual . We are among a growing number of middle-aged mums who are experimenting with this powerful drug , not to combat serious health issues , but for vanity and curiosity . Weight-loss jabs like Wegovy have been a hot topic of conversation at my children 's school gates in west London for months -- who is using it , what it 's like and , crucially , how to get it . Women get together when they want to lose a few pounds , maybe a few weeks before a holiday , without the faff of diet and exercise , by having a go on ' The Pen ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ name for it -- Wegovy Wednesdays . The point of doing it on a Wednesday is to make sure any side effects , such as the well-documented post-jab nausea , have passed before the weekend . By then the active ingredient , semaglutide , will have peaked in your system , ensuring you 'll be less tempted to binge on takeaways and alcohol . There 's even a TikTok hashtag -- #WegovyWednesday -- celebrating the trend , with millions of videos giving advice . The reason I 'm blowing the lid on this frankly shameful behaviour is as a warning . I want other women to know the horrific consequences I suffered , and not follow such a ridiculous , dangerous trend . Last month , Professor Stephen Powis , national medical director for NHS England , said he was alarmed at the number of young people using the weight-loss drugs as a ' quick fix ' to get ' beach-body ready ' . And Dr Vicky Price , of the Society For Acute Medicine , has warned that ' increasing numbers of patients ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weight-loss drugs they have purchased online ' . And I almost became one of them . It might sound shocking , but Wegovy and Ozempic have been in the headlines as a magic bullet for the overweight and the obese for some time now . Celebrities including Elon Musk , Rebel Wilson and Oprah Winfrey have confirmed they used the drug to slim down . As a journalist , I know loads more famous names that are secretly using it . Many were far from overweight to begin with . And there is no doubt it works . Semaglutide floods the body with a version of a natural ' appetite hormone ' , GLP-1 , which sends signals to the brain that the stomach is full . NHS guidelines state that the jabs should be offered only to people who have a BMI of at least 30 ( less for some ethnicities which are prone to health problems at a lower BMI ) and one weight-related health condition , such as high blood pressure or diabetes . But it is still easy to get hold of if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ revealed there were pharmacists who could be sweet-talked into handing over a prescription . Others had gone to private doctors , while some had managed to get it from online pharmacies by lying about their weight . One firm had required a photograph as evidence of obesity , so another friend manipulated one -- adding her own head to the body of an overweight stranger . While this attempt was rejected by the online pharmacy , it did n't take long for her to find another company which did n't require a photograph . Charlotte says weight-loss jabs like Wegovy have been a hot topic of conversation at her children 's school gates in west London for months . Pictured with her son James Speaking to experts , they are horrified that women like us are experimenting with a prescription drug . As Professor David Strain , from University of Exeter who also runs a community diabetes service , points out : ' There is no evidence from trials of semaglutide on healthy , normal weight individuals , so we simply do n't know what the risks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ might happen to your natural production of gut hormones such as GLP-1 if you take it when you do n't need to . ' Prof Strain explains that people who are overweight do n't produce enough of these gut hormones after eating , which is why they eat more . For them , taking Wegovy addresses that deficiency and makes them feel fuller for longer . I 'll admit that , after all of our gossiping about Wegovy , I was curious to try it . After three children I 've lost my flat tummy and I 'm 7lb heavier than I was before I had my third baby last year . I ca n't get into my favourite pre-baby jeans , which bothers me , and I 'm a child of the 1990s , taught to believe the Kate Moss mantra that ' nothing tastes as good as skinny feels ' . I might have started to care less about this as I approach my 40th birthday in November , but it 's hard to shake off those agonising years of fretting about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ among thirtysomething mums that you can have a quick go on The Pen rather than endure weeks of crash dieting before squeezing into a swimsuit . So I rationalised trying out Wegovy , just once , as a fun experiment with a friend . ' This is just a cheeky little circuit breaker to help me get back into my pre-baby jeans , ' I told myself . ' I 'll just do this one jab . ' When I was collecting my daughter from a playdate at my friend 's house that evening , she ushered me inside as we giggled over the naughtiness of it all . Sitting on her bed , I pinched a small roll of flesh in my stomach and squeezed my eyes shut as she gave me the shot . I did n't really feel a thing . By the time I left ten minutes later , I was a little dazed . In February , 27-year-old Shannon Flannery , from Kent , was hospitalised after taking an injection of semaglutide -- the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she thought she was ' going to die ' after taking a weight-loss jab she bought on Facebook Trish Webster was prescribed Semaglutide by a doctor . She lost 35lb ( 16kg ) but suffered constant nausea and vomiting . In January 2023 she collapsed at her home and died later that evening in hospital At home I ate a bowl of pasta and went to bed . But when I woke the next morning , I felt hungover . The brain fog was savage . I made a black coffee but felt repulsed by it . A sip of water felt equally abhorrent . When I brushed my teeth the toothpaste was hideous in my dry mouth . By the time I got to work , I felt depressed . Before a meeting I took a bite of a protein bar for a quick sugar hit , but 20 minute later felt a surge of nausea . I only just made it to the toilet , where I was violently sick three times . Feeling faint , I went for a quick walk for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it felt as if I 'd emerged from a dark cinema . Everything felt weird , and I have little doubt it was linked to my Wegovy jab . By 3pm I went home from work with migraine symptoms and a vicious need to be alone in a dark room . My husband was away , so I engaged emergency babysitters to look after the children because I was so drained of energy . The next morning was the same . I tried some grapes but was sick . I was also incredibly anxious . In 2020 I had suffered a nasty bout of post-natal depression , and the dark cloud that was descending felt frighteningly familiar . It was like the joy had been sucked out of everything and life felt flat . It was becoming increasingly clear that I had poisoned myself , and I called my friend who admitted that I 'd had a large dose . ' Well , I suppose it did take three months to build up to a 1mg dose , ' she mused , casually . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at 0.25mg and build up slowly over several weeks to larger amounts . Celebrities such as Rebel Wilson have confirmed they used weight-loss drugs to slim down I felt so awful , and in my state of panic I wondered if I could I die from this . I survived , thankfully . But I have read a number of stories of women who have experimented like I did and been hospitalised ( see panel above ) . Since the jab I have been barely able to eat due to waves of nausea . I have lost weight but I look as unwell as I feel . It 's not good . Prof Strain says this is ' to be expected ' in otherwise healthy people , adding : ' The feeling of flatness is not surprising because these drugs suppress the pleasure sensor that goes with food . ' They also help with other addictive behaviour , and we see people who were heavy drinkers or smokers or even gamblers find it easier to quit those habits , precisely because the pleasure hit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't have any of those problems and your healthy receptors are barraged by these drugs , the chances are you 'll lose interest in pretty much everything . Pleasure will disappear out of your life . ' Around 20 per cent of people taking it for type 2 diabetes report suffering nausea in the clinical trials . But if you 're using it inappropriately , chances are the rates would be much higher . ' I 'm so cross with myself that I succumbed to a sort of peer pressure when I really did n't need to . The irony is that , before this , I was the healthiest I 've ever been . I no longer drink alcohol , smoke or do anything else harmful to my body . It 's taken years of hard work to get here and it feels stupid to have voluntarily poisoned myself . The bleakest part was realising there was no short cut to make the side effects go away -- Wegovy stays in your system for weeks . I eventually tried anti-nausea medication to help me to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my exercise classes . I 've even had to stop walking my daughter to school . What worries me now is that slender women are using this drug because they already have a warped view of what they should look like , or an eating disorder . The fact it 's so easily accessible is particularly concerning , especially as the NHS is struggling to get enough supplies to meet the demand from those who truly need it for medical reasons . Professor Naveed Sattar , an obesity expert at the University of Glasgow , says : ' We have to tighten the system so people who are not eligible to get these drugs are n't able to misuse them . ' The major goal is to get enough of these drugs into the NHS to people who really need it . For them , they can be lifechanging . ' And Prof Strain points out that without oversight from a professional these drugs could even cause serious harm in some people . ' Particularly those with a family history of rare endocrine or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not be prescribed semaglutide as studies suggested it fuelled the tumour . ' ' People at risk of pancreatitis should also not take it . ' I am now trying to put the weight back on so I feel myself again . My appetite is creeping back but I find I only really fancy sweets , chips and bread -- whereas before I enjoyed eating nourishing food . Once the jab fully wears off I plan to restore proper nutrition to my life . I do fit into my pre-baby jeans again but -- and this is a lesson to anyone -- putting them on did n't give me the joy and sense of achievement I expected . I took them off an hour later as they were a depressing reminder of how stupid I had been . And instead of spending ? 50 on Wegovy and another ? 200 on emergency babysitters while I was ill , I could have treated myself to a nice pair of new jeans which actually fit me . There have been more than 7,200 serious adverse reactions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ according to Government figures . Powerful jabs ... but with risks Weight-loss jabs have already been linked with 20 deaths across Britain , and many people have been left severely unwell after using them . In February , 27-year-old Shannon Flannery , from Kent , was hospitalised after taking an injection of semaglutide -- the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy . The mother-of-two -- who weighed 13 stone -- bought ten weeks ' worth of jabs on Instagram for ? 120 . Within a day of taking the first injection , Shannon began vomiting and , after the second , noticed blood in her urine . She was admitted to hospital where medics claimed that taking one more so-called ' skinny jab ' could have been fatal . Last month , mother-of-three Stacey Smith was left so sick she thought she was ' going to die ' after taking a weight-loss jab she bought on Facebook . The 38-year-old , who is a size 12 to 14 , paid ? 20 for the jab and claimed the process took ' two minutes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and her 13-year-old daughter was forced to call an ambulance . And , tragically , a 56-year-old mother from Australia was last year feared to have died after suffering a fatal side effect linked to semaglutide . Trish Webster , who wanted to lose weight in time for her daughter 's wedding , was prescribed the drug by a doctor . She lost 35lb ( 16kg ) but suffered constant nausea and vomiting . In January 2023 she collapsed at her home and died later that evening in hospital . Doctors recorded her death as ' acute gastrointestinal illness ' and noted that semaglutide had been linked to fatal intestine blockages . ' I did n't know that could happen to a person , ' said her husband , Roy . ' It 's just not worth it , it 's not worth it at all . ' |

The OnlyFans model has been shamed by trolls who think she is a " bad mum " ( Image : **35;266;TOOLONG ) The couple are now part of a reality TV series ' Nick & Courtney ' ( Image : **35;303;TOOLONG ) Now , the couple have launched @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which follows their story of balancing family life with their X-rated lifestyle -- and some of the family feature in the show .

Our pups are n't thrilled about having full camera crews in our home , so they do n't appear much in the first season -- but we 'll get that sorted out as we go ! " My mother-in-law stole the show in previous documentaries and news stories about our family , so of course we 've included her in the show ! There 's an episode later in the season where she shares her real feelings about our decisions to leave teaching and start on OnlyFans ! " |

Our first ever dish was our ' OG Jerk Chicken ' . I used to cook it in my university kitchen , then deliver meals on a second-hand bike I bought off Gumtree . Seven years on , it 's still on our menu every week . I believe the reason it 's always been so popular is because it 's not something you 'd usually get for a healthy lunch or a meal prep . It 's got plantain , rice , peas and our delicious homemade jerk sauce . From a young age , Jhai and I have worked hard to be self-sufficient and relieve financial pressure from our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I reached sixth form . After three months of my first year at uni , I started Simmer with literally ? 10 worth of ingredients . In 2017 , I popped into the shops , bought ingredients , rustled up some meals , sold them , and then used the profits to produce and sell more meals . I 've continuously reinvested the profits back into the business , and we 've been 100 per cent bootstrapped ever since . Now , I would n't have had it any other way . But honestly -- I did n't have a choice but to self-fund the business . Coming from a British Asian working-class background with no connections , and being only 19 at the time , it would 've been highly unlikely that we 'd have access to investors . Seven years on , we 're a profitable business . It sounds simple but it requires a lot of sacrifice and hard work . My brother , mum and I all had other jobs ( myself at Google , Jhai at EY @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Simmer as a side hustle for the first four years before we were able to quit our jobs in 2021 to go full time in the business and finally start taking a small salary . We 've never had any loans , investors or handouts from wealthy family or friends . It 's quite a unique journey in this day and age , where businesses raise millions without any revenue or wealthy parents give their offspring a spare ? 100,000 ' to get started ' . I 'm not sure how we 're keeping up with it all ! We live and breathe Simmer . It 's a huge part of our lives , so it 's a good thing we love what we do . We 're efficient with our time -- of course , having healthy chef-made meals ready to heat and eat in minutes , not only provides us with the nourishment and energy to attack challenges but also more free time to be able @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your philosophy ? We 've got a philosophy at Simmer of doing more with less . My remote office team was just 6 people back in 2022 . Since then we 've grown 20 times over and yet our headcount has only increased to eight people . Social media has also been a huge driver of our growth . We love storytelling online , and it 's something that our audience seemed to resonate with . We have over 200,000 followers across Instagram , TikTok and LinkedIn now . We 're a close-knit family and there is no one else I 'd rather be on this journey with . We have a huge amount of trust , and belief , and can be honest and direct with one another . Whilst that has led to some pretty intense debates , they never last long . We quickly make decisions and then we 're a team again , aligned in the same direction . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had worked several flexible part-time jobs all her life to raise us . I became very conscious when I turned 18 that mum had sacrificed so much and so I sought to find her a hobby or career . Turns out , it 's incredibly difficult for a woman to start a career in her 40s after 20 years of raising kids . At the time , I jokingly said " I 'll have to start a business and create the perfect role for you " . This was about a year before I started Simmer at uni and then brought mum on board as our first ' employee ' . After three years of helping us build the business alongside her supermarket job , it was a special moment to finally give her the green light : " Hand in your notice , you 'll never have to work for anyone else again " . Our proudest achievement will always be retiring mum , and dad , who left his factory job this year . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ -- she helps out at the unit , even though she does n't have to , she just loves it so much . And dad helps with deliveries sometimes . After decades in blue-collar jobs they did n't enjoy , for little money -- it 's amazing to see our parents living a happier , more fulfilled and purposeful life in their 40s ! Taste and quality . Whilst our macros are great , each meal is packed with protein and we offer multiple portion sizes , the thing that differentiates us is taste . Meal-prep services are notoriously functional , soulless and expensive . We focus on flavour first -- nourishing the soul with home-style cooking , inspired by global cuisines , whilst hitting those important macros .

Reasoning
×
The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'take the stress out of cooking', where 'cooking' is a noun (gerund) rather than a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either movement/extraction or prevention.

Our first ever dish was our ' OG Jerk Chicken ' . I used to cook it in my university kitchen , then deliver meals on a second-hand bike I bought off Gumtree . Seven years on , it 's still on our menu every week . I believe the reason it 's always been so popular is because it 's not something you 'd usually get for a healthy lunch or a meal prep . It 's got plantain , rice , peas and our delicious homemade jerk sauce . From a young age , Jhai and I have worked hard to be self-sufficient and relieve financial pressure from our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I reached sixth form . After three months of my first year at uni , I started Simmer with literally ? 10 worth of ingredients . In 2017 , I popped into the shops , bought ingredients , rustled up some meals , sold them , and then used the profits to produce and sell more meals . I 've continuously reinvested the profits back into the business , and we 've been 100 per cent bootstrapped ever since . Now , I would n't have had it any other way . But honestly -- I did n't have a choice but to self-fund the business . Coming from a British Asian working-class background with no connections , and being only 19 at the time , it would 've been highly unlikely that we 'd have access to investors . Seven years on , we 're a profitable business . It sounds simple but it requires a lot of sacrifice and hard work . My brother , mum and I all had other jobs ( myself at Google , Jhai at EY @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Simmer as a side hustle for the first four years before we were able to quit our jobs in 2021 to go full time in the business and finally start taking a small salary . We 've never had any loans , investors or handouts from wealthy family or friends . It 's quite a unique journey in this day and age , where businesses raise millions without any revenue or wealthy parents give their offspring a spare ? 100,000 ' to get started ' . I 'm not sure how we 're keeping up with it all ! We live and breathe Simmer . It 's a huge part of our lives , so it 's a good thing we love what we do . We 're efficient with our time -- of course , having healthy chef-made meals ready to heat and eat in minutes , not only provides us with the nourishment and energy to attack challenges but also more free time to be able @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your philosophy ? We 've got a philosophy at Simmer of doing more with less . My remote office team was just 6 people back in 2022 . Since then we 've grown 20 times over and yet our headcount has only increased to eight people . Social media has also been a huge driver of our growth . We love storytelling online , and it 's something that our audience seemed to resonate with . We have over 200,000 followers across Instagram , TikTok and LinkedIn now . We 're a close-knit family and there is no one else I 'd rather be on this journey with . We have a huge amount of trust , and belief , and can be honest and direct with one another . Whilst that has led to some pretty intense debates , they never last long . We quickly make decisions and then we 're a team again , aligned in the same direction . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had worked several flexible part-time jobs all her life to raise us . I became very conscious when I turned 18 that mum had sacrificed so much and so I sought to find her a hobby or career . Turns out , it 's incredibly difficult for a woman to start a career in her 40s after 20 years of raising kids . At the time , I jokingly said " I 'll have to start a business and create the perfect role for you " . This was about a year before I started Simmer at uni and then brought mum on board as our first ' employee ' . After three years of helping us build the business alongside her supermarket job , it was a special moment to finally give her the green light : " Hand in your notice , you 'll never have to work for anyone else again " . Our proudest achievement will always be retiring mum , and dad , who left his factory job this year . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ -- she helps out at the unit , even though she does n't have to , she just loves it so much . And dad helps with deliveries sometimes . After decades in blue-collar jobs they did n't enjoy , for little money -- it 's amazing to see our parents living a happier , more fulfilled and purposeful life in their 40s ! Taste and quality . Whilst our macros are great , each meal is packed with protein and we offer multiple portion sizes , the thing that differentiates us is taste . Meal-prep services are notoriously functional , soulless and expensive . We focus on flavour first -- nourishing the soul with home-style cooking , inspired by global cuisines , whilst hitting those important macros . We also hand-make our meals from scratch using fresh , quality ingredients . Simmer proves that healthy eating does n't have to be bland , overcomplicated , or overpriced .

STORIES of ghosts and spooky goings on have haunted humanity for thousands of years . And they show no sign of going away . Tales of encounters with spectral beings are a shared experience of people of every culture and country from around the world . And despite advances in science and technology , reports of sightings and unsettling confrontations continue apace . The question of whether ghosts exist and , if not , why we keep seeing them -- is one which fascinates Danny Robins . A successful stand-up comedian , writer and broadcaster , Danny 's curiosity on all matters supernatural has seen him propelled to fame as the country 's go-to ghost guy . A series of radio programmes delving into the world of the supernatural only strengthened his interest in spooks , spectres and restless spirits . His search for real life experiences and possible answers has been embraced by curious minds with his Uncanny radio show and podcast proving a huge hit and even crossing over to television . The show tackles real life reports of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forensic eye for detail , talking to witnesses , experts , believers and sceptics . Its eerie tales of often horrifying goings-on have captivated audiences , so much so that Danny has taken it on the road with an ' Uncanny : I Know What I Saw ' tour of theatres . Danny Robins in his Uncanny - I Know What I Saw live show . Pictures by Piers Foley A visit to the Oxford Playhouse last year , at which local audience members shared their own ghostly experiences , proved so popular that Danny is back again , this time for two dates , today and Monday , July 14-15 . " Uncanny is all about ordinary real people telling me their ghost stories , " Danny tells me . " It has really gripped people and become a super hit -- and as a result I found myself doing a live show . " The shows , like the programmes , see Danny examining real world hauntings and , with the help of contributions from his experts -- one a believer and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their own minds . He also invites us to recount our own unexplained encounters , safe in the knowledge they will not be ridiculed . He says : " It has become a safe space for people to talk about their own experiences of the paranormal . As a society we have slipped out of being respectable and kind , but this gives people a space to open up . " Uncanny follows his successful series The Battersea Poltergeist -- a paranormal cold case-style investigation of a notorious 1950s haunting which was part documentary and part drama , staring Toby Jones . Highlights of his radio show include an investigation into an unsettling haunting in South Oxford in which a household of theology students were terrorised by a poltergeist . The exact property concerned is not revealed to protect the current householders -- who , we hope , are being spared the sheer horror suffered by their predecessors . While his work has undoubtedly sparked fresh interest in the supernatural , Danny is keen to distance his work from the charlatan ' ghost hunter ' TV @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " . The live shows follow a similar format to his Uncanny shows but involve audiences in each case in what he calls " interactive sleuthing " . " My roots as a performer are in stand-up comedy , which I did from the age of 16 in Newcastle , " he says . " And once on stage I channel my inner stand-up . " I love working with the audience and telling these stories . But the bits I enjoy the most are the unscripted moments and hearing people 's own ghost stories . I love that interaction . " One might expect the shows to attract only firm believers in the paranormal , bur Danny insists that is not the case . " The audience is divided between believers and sceptics , but a lot of people are in the middle and do n't know what they think . And to have both sides of a case stated equally is so important . " Others have had experiences themselves but may not have been brave enough to share their stories in public @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a palpable community . He says : " It may sound crazy but there 's a serious religious quality . " And it is not always scary ; it can also mean communication with someone you miss from beyond the grave . " Whether you think the experience of the dead coming back to life is unscientific does not change the fact that people have experienced that -- and we have got to research that and allow people to tell their own stories . " Danny admits to being a sceptic but says he is repeatedly baffled , and frequently shocked , by the stories he is told by rational people -- such as those straight-laced Oxford University theology students who were so comprehensively spooked while here in the city . He says : " I have never had an experience myself that has tipped me over the edge nor have a story to tell , but I feel I am on a journey . And while I am a sceptic , there have been things I can not explain . " He adds @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it to be true and for people to have the optimism and hope of being able to communicate with those who have left us . " And it is the sheer range of people who have shared their own ghost stories with him which has made the biggest impression . " If there 's one thing that 's for sure , it is that there is no ' type ' of person that sees them . And the ones that get my own pulse racing are those people who say ' I do n't believe in ghosts but I saw a ghost ! ' " .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'takes the thinking out of steaming milk' does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

My eyes were wide and WASD fingers nimble as I booted up Concord 's closed beta this weekend . I 've had my eye on Sony 's new hero shooter since its big reveal last month . While a vocal contingent quickly decided that Concord is anOverwatch clone wearing Guardians of the Galaxy cosplay , those brief glimpses of gameplay got me excited for what looked like a crisp , arcadey FPS from ex-Destiny folks . And hey , I was n't disappointed . Concord is very fun so far . I played seven hours of the beta and was impressed by developer Firewalk Studios ' strong FPS fundamentals -- Concord 's guns feel tremendous across the board ( especially Lennox 's revolvers ) , every hero I 've played has a fun hook I do n't instantly recognize from other games . Maybe best of all is that the whole roster is just there from the start . The closed beta is over now and I 'm really eager to get back to it when the open beta begins @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ too . Some takeaways after seven hours with Concord : Concord 's roster of heroes -- with their varying sizes , species , and backgrounds -- might give the initial impression of an Overwatch also-ran , but their similarities end once you get past the heroes themselves . In reality , Concord has more in common with modern arena shooters like Call of Duty , XDefiant , Destiny 2 's Crucible , or even Halo . That 's made clear by the handful of modes playable in the beta -- a grab bag of FPS favorites like team deathmatch ( Takedown ) , Kill Confirmed ( Trophy Hunt ) , Search and Destroy ( Cargo Run ) , and a elimination take on King of the Hill called Clash Point . It 's smart to stick together as much as possible , but unlike Overwatch , you 're not encouraged to stay in one massive " hero clump " to have any chance of winning fights . You do n't always spawn near teammates in Concord @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ best as lone wolves . Concord is much more of a " shooter " than a " hero " game . Other than a few tank-shaped heroes who struggle to compete without a teammate around , every Concord character can hold their own in a fight . There is no " Mercy " who 's basically useless when the rest of the team dies -- the two Concord heroes with group healing , Daw and Jabali , also have wicked powerful guns . Concord is only Sony 's second simultaneous PC/console launch after Helldivers 2 , and while it plays well on PC , it took some tweaking to get there . The whole game felt off for my first few matches and my framerate was all over the place ( RTX 2080 Super , 1080p ) . Turning off motion blur ( curse you ! ) and setting everything to medium cleaned things up dramatically . Its mouse and keyboard controls are also awkwardly mapped from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you dodge roll by double-tapping sprint ( mimicking the double tap of circle on PS5 ) , despite an abundance of unused keys below WASD that could do the job . It 's an awkward command for a maneuver you 're meant to pull off in the heat of a fight . Thankfully , you can quickly remap it to a single tap of a more sensible button .

" Hey cousin " ( Image credit : Firewalk Studios ) This is kinda cool : You can unlock " variants " of Concord heroes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that changes their playstyle . The one available in the beta for Lennox , the green guy who looks like Cousin Richie from The Bear , swaps his default perk that reloads his guns after rolling with double the magazine size for both of his pistols . Variants are their own hero slot , which looks weird on the roster screen , but that plays into Concord 's " crew builder " system . More on that below . One of the most unique aspects of Concord is also its most bewildering . By default , you can pick from all 16 heroes in a match , but you can also build a custom roster ( a " crew " ) and use some of those slots for hero variants or even multiple copies of the same hero . That can matter in Concord 's round-based modes as you 're locked out of playing a hero once you 've won a round as them . You could choose to exclude heroes you do n't like and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you can play your main throughout the whole match . That 's somewhat interesting , but it 's not at all intuitive and I question how much it 'll really play into strategy . Worse is that the crew system makes a lot less sense in a respawn mode like Trophy Hunt or team deathmatch . There 's no point to adding multiple copies of a hero to your crew when there 's no lockout mechanic , and the game even suggests that you equip a default roster with all heroes when playing these modes . If that 's the case , then why are you able to screw yourself over in the first place ? ( Image credit : Firewalk Studios ) I 'm simply in love with Concord 's guns . They look incredible , sound really cool , and animate beautifully . Unsurprising for a team of Bungie vets , but Concord is especially masterful at reloads -- I adore the clockwork crank of Haymar 's hand crossbow as she loads another firebomb into its breach , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her futuristic WW2 SMG and then turns it like a key to lock it in place . I also ca n't help but grin every time Emari unexpectedly reloads her minigun by replacing the entire front barrel assembly of the gun instead of a more conventional drum magazine . Not since my first days with Overwatch in 2016 have I been this impressed by the variety and personality of weapons in a hero shooter . Some of Concord 's guns are really out there , like a spore launcher whose pellets are n't so much bullets as they are creatures that fly toward enemies with a mind of their own , or 1-OFF 's vacuum that sucks up bullets and spits them back out for low , consistent damage . Some of my favorites so far are just really well-executed versions of guns we 've all played with before . Lennox 's two revolvers riff hard on Destiny 's hand cannons and Hunt : Showdown 's vintage six shooters . DaVeer 's goopy launcher is like the TF2 Demoman 's remote mines and grenade launcher in one gun @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heard across the map , and leaves an intimidating smoke trail just like in Halo or Valorant . Concord has a dodge button that 's genuinely useful , but I do n't like that using it zooms the camera out to third-person . I know that occasional perspective shifts are a Destiny/Bungie staple at this point , but I 'd love the option to stay in first-person at all times in Concord . I ended up sticking mostly to Concord 's respawn modes this weekend , and that 's because its elimination modes move way too slowly right now . There are just way too many pre-round steps . Every round has a pick phase where each player picks one at a time in order , followed by a loading screen , then an intro cinematic , then a countdown . I like to think I have a high tolerance for this sort of thing with my 2,000 logged hours of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me down quick . This is a fixable problem , so I 'm curious how quickly Firewalk will be able to respond to feedback just a month before Concord 's launch .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'parents' (NP subject) are 'advised' (V1) to 'opt out of receiving the payments' (VP2[-ing]). This induces a prevention interpretation, as the action of ticking a box prevents the parents from receiving payments. The NP object 'parents' functions as a causee, and the construction fits the semantic and syntactic criteria of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('parents') + V1 ('opt') + NP object ('the payments') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('receiving the payments'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, as the action of ticking the box prevents the parents from receiving the payments. The verb 'opt' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically' as it involves a choice that leads to prevention. The NP object 'the payments' is not a causee, but the construction allows for atypical NP objects as mentioned in the sixth property. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it describes an event where Kneecap is pulling out of performing at a festival due to a sponsorship deal, which does not involve a causer causing a causee to move out of or be prevented from an action. The phrase 'pulling out of performing' does not align with the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

" You went home thinking there was a crisis , and you got up in the morning and found out that 's not the crisis anymore -- the crisis has got bigger , " grins producer Trevor Birney , as he reflects on the shoot of the politically-charged comedy Kneecap in 2023 . Getting the film off the ground required a truckload of tenacity from its creators from the word go . Kneecap takes a darkly comic look at a generation who grew up in the post-Good Friday Agreement north of Ireland , through the perspective of a rampageous , anti-British west Belfast hip-hop band , who rap in the Irish language , with a script brimming with scenes of drug taking and provocative lines such as " I 'm going to blow you like a Brighton hotel . " Kneecap is the feature debut of former tabloid journalist and director of documentary One Rogue Reporter Rich Peppiatt , and the first narrative feature of documentary producer Birney of Belfast-based Fine Point Films , whose credits include feature docs Cyndi Lauper : Let The Canary Sing and Bobby Sands : 66 Days . The real-life hip-hop @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gla ? Bap and DJ Pr ? va ? , had no acting experience , and their first acting lessons in preparation for the shoot revealed some room for improvement . Although Peppiatt is English , he lives in Belfast with his Northern Irish wife . His love of hip-hop music led him to attend one of the band 's gigs , where he witnessed a frenzied underground support for the Irish language in the north that piqued his interest . The next challenge was meeting the band . Months of emails to them went unanswered . But a serendipitous moment when having a meeting in Birney 's office changed all that -- a colleague of Birney 's revealed she used to go out with one of the band , and agreed to pass on his number . Peppiatt wrangled a pint with the group . Which led to more pints . And then more . Getting the band , whose politics are staunchly anti the British occupation in the north of Ireland , to agree to trust an Englishman with their story also took some navigating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my wife is from Andytown in west Belfast , she comes from quite a well-known family , " says Peppiatt . " I married into a family that really have the scars of some of the worst instances of The Troubles . " The day after meeting the band , Peppiatt signed up for Irish-language classes . With Kneecap on board , Birney reached out to Patrick O'Neill at Irish distribution company Wildcard to sense check whether this was , as Peppiatt puts it , " the worst idea in the world , or if there was something in it " . O'Neill thought the latter , and Kneecap is the distributor 's first co-producer credit . In 2020 , the project applied for a development scheme , the Mother Tongues award , backed by UK distributor Curzon and French sales agent Charades , focused on projects from UK-based scriptwriters in which the dialogue is not in English . " There were 112 different applications . Kneecap really shone through , " says Jack Tarling , who was running the development initiative with two fellow producers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ through his outfit Shudder Films . Source : Sundance ' Kneecap ' Northern Ireland Screen was the first public funder to back the project , with Screen Ireland and the BFI also providing production support , for a total budget of ? 4.5m . The level of recreational drug use in the film was cause for concern among some of the funding executives . " At script stage , there was disquiet about the drugs , " recalls Peppiatt . " One funder in particular said it 's very problematic to have a film that depicts that level of drug use , without the consequences of it in a negative way . I understood that argument , but my counter to that was most people who recreationally take drugs do not end up in rehab . It 's a clich ? that every film that does drugs has to somehow become about drugs . " Maybe we 'll do a Kneecap 2 one day where they all end @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that was n't this film . " The line , " I 'm going to blow you like a Brighton hotel " ( said to Mo Chara by his Protestant secret lover ) also inspired some nerves from the institutions . " I do n't think there was a single funder who wanted the line in there , " recalls Peppiatt . " Exactly this time last year we were driving back from Galway and me and Rich had a four-hour conversation about that line , " reflects Birney . " The funders ultimately learnt to live with it , much to their credit . " Another issue was a lack of prominent female characters . " There was also a note early to do with gender balance , " adds O'Neill . " But if you look at the film now , there are four really strong female roles . " " It was Screen Ireland who came in quite early on that -- asking ' Is there a way of making sure that the female representation in there is strong , and you do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ characters who are there to facilitate the boys ? ' I 'm happy with how it came out and the reaction has been that we 've managed that , " says Peppiatt . The film was fully financed before Michael Fassbender came on board in a supporting role . Fassbender 's performance as Bobby Sands in Steve McQueen 's Hunger had put him top of the wish-list , and BFI executive Louise Ortega luckily was friends with Fassbender 's agent and was able to get the script to the hot-ticket star . The shoot took place in Belfast and Dundalk in spring 2023 , with some thorny moments to contend with across the seven weeks of filming . " Shooting in Belfast , with the communities divided as they still unfortunately are , when you 're an Irish-language production , instantly , you 've nailed your colours to the mast , " says Peppiatt . " We had planned the opening sequence in the woods meticulously . It was supposed to be filmed on cables , in this one-shot sequence . A couple of days before we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who happened to be unionists , got wind we were an Irish-language production and pulled the permission . We had to abandon something that was very technical and planned , and just turn up and do it in some woods . " The film is billed as a biopic , but Peppiatt remains tight-lipped about how much of it is true . " 70% of what 's in the film is true , " he claims . " I do n't answer that question -- it ruins the fun of it . " During its festival run , the film has gone down a storm , winning audience awards both in the US at Sundance and closer to home at the Galway Film Fleadh , where it also won the best Irish film and best Irish-language film prizes . Curzon and Wildcard are releasing the film in the UK and Ireland at 500 sites , with Wildcard distributing in Ireland on August 8 , and Curzon in the UK on August 23 . Sony Pictures Classics picked up the title from Charades at Sundance , and will distribute @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ promotional tour , the band have persistently vocalised their support for Palestine in the Israel-Gaza conflict . Did any of the distributors get skittish about their stance ? " At every premiere I 've been at , they 've been very clear about their message -- free Gaza , " says Birney . " No one has , as far as I know , anywhere tried to prevent them saying that . They are who they are . When they got to Sundance , no one could be in any way disillusioned of their politics . Anyone who looked at their Instagram or their social medias understands their politics . If they are getting involved in a Kneecap film , they 're getting involved with three main characters who voice their support for Palestine . All of us has the same politics . " " Part of the charm of the band , and the reason people really connect with them , is the fact that they really do n't care about the consequences . In a world where people are careerist , it 's refreshing to have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' . " Their protest in SXSW has had real world effects , " says Peppiatt , on Kneecap pulling out of performing at the US festival over its sponsorship deal with the US army , who has been supporting Israel in the war in Gaza . Peppiatt and Birney plan to continue working together on narrative features , and have recently launched Coup d'Etat Films . " Through the experience of Kneecap we became aware of the need to support indigenous filmmaking in Belfast . There is a moment for Ireland happening out there , and there is a moment for the north still to come , " says Birney . " I have a couple of projects with Trevor that have gained traction in the background -- it 's made us think we can be moving to the next level of things , of attracting serious money , " says Peppiatt . " The next project will scale up significantly from Kneecap . Beyond that -- if we can get this project away at that price point , in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? 50-100m+ projects into Belfast , into Ireland generally ? " Peppiatt and Birney have been taking meetings in Los Angeles . " I can see a middle ground where I can still work with the talent , the money , the executives in America , but I can do it closer to home , " says Peppiatt . " I 've had some offers in the US that have been very hard to say no to . It 's a gamble . But I 'm very excited about the next year or two .

TT looks at five strikers who could be on the move and five clubs in the need of a new No.9 With so many top Premier League clubs potentially looking to bring in a top-level striker during the remainder of the summer transfer window , TT has broken down five names and paired them with five clubs in a perfect match scenario . Manchester United 's capture of Joshua Zirkzee has taken the Dutchman off the market and likely ruled the Red Devils out of making another splash at that position , given their needs to strengthen elsewhere and the fact they also already have Rasmus Hojlund on board . However , the likes of Arsenal , Liverpool , Tottenham and West Ham remain the market for a new No.9 , to name but a few , and it 's those clubs we 've focused on in an updated strikers Transfer Tracker . A move that may be tough to pull off after Villa qualified for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ past Manchester City in the Premier League title race . With Darwin Nunez still not fully convincing at Anfield , despite making improvements last season , links to the Reds bringing in a new No.9 continue to grow . Mo Salah 's continued links to the Saudi Pro League could also heighten Liverpool 's need to try and bring in more goals and recent reports suggest they may have found just the man . Baris Alper Yilmaz was one of the stars of Euro 2024 , playing the full 90 minutes in all five of his nation 's matches as they made it to the quarter-finals . A winger by trade , he can also play centrally which is perfect for Slot in terms of the adaptability of his front players . Cody Gakpo 's ability to do the same would give the new Reds boss the option of resting Nunez every now and again , knowing he has players capable of stepping in . Yilmaz has only scored 20 goals in 187 career appearances @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his trending upwards and he showed in Germany the damage he can cause with his impressive displays . In terms of the cost involved , it 's reported that the Galatasaray star could be sold for a fee in the region of ? 30million . That sort of figure would also allow the Reds to focus on strengthening at centre-back and in central midfield too , with sources telling TT that Crystal Palace and England standout Marc Guehi could fill that defensive need . It 's no big secret that Ange Postecoglou wants another striker through the door in north London this summer after Richarlison once again failed to fully convince that he is the answer . The Brazilian was , in all fairness , much improved on his debut campaign and did notch 12 times in total . However , he also missed countless chances and has also had issues getting on the pitch at times . Using skipper Son Heung-min is also not the long-term option for Postecoglou so a move for a genuine central @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ must . And that is where Feyenoord forward Santiago Gimenez continues to be lined up to fill that massive void . Tottenham have been linked with numerous strikers since Kane left , but of all the ones linked Gimenez looks to the best fit for Postecoglou 's style of football . The Mexico international has enough pace to run in behind and stretch defences but also the technical quality and strength to link up play . Indeed , the 23-year-old scored 24 goals in 40 games in all competitions last season , while also chalking up seven assists for his teammates . The biggest issue Tottenham may have to securing his signature , however , could be if his former boss at Feyenoord Arne Slot tries to take him to his new club Liverpool . Gimenez will be available for a fee in the region of ? 45m this summer , a figure that could work out to be an absolute bargain for a young international forward with a proven goalscoring record in Holland . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Todd Boehly looks to provide more competition for Nicolas Jackson and the injury-plagued Christopher Nkunku in Chelsea 's attack . Much will depend on what sort of striker new Blues boss Enzo Maresca wants on board but so far those links to David have continued , suggesting that the Canada international remains a serious option for the Stamford Bridge outfit . Chelsea have already been incredibly active in the summer window so far , bringing in the likes of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall , Tosin Adarabioyo , Marc Guiu , Renato Kellyman and Renato Veiga but none of those additions are proven central strikers , so that remains a major need . David has been a prolific force in French football ever since he moved to Lille from Gent in 2020 , scoring 84 goals in 183 appearances .

Toney did not really get the chance to enhance his value at Euro 2024 , scoring in the penalty shoot-out win over the Swiss but was then overlooked in favour of Olli Watkins in the semi-final and final . Interest does remain in his services , although not from the same number of clubs there were when he returned from his FA ban back in January . At that time , Brentford were asking for ? 80m for Toney but now that figure has more than halved . Indeed , there are some reports that he could be sold for around ? 30m now .

Much will also depend on what sort of forward new West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui wants to bring in , although Toney would certainly be expected to be more of a goal threat than Antonio if he was to sign . In terms of other clubs who could try and strike their own deals for the England man , fellow London sides Arsenal , Chelsea and Tottenham are also in the mix . However , they already have other targets in the pipeline ( see above ) to leave the door potentially open to West Ham . |

Farm worker Steven Ling was sentenced to life imprisonment in December 1998 after he confessed to the murder of 29-year-old Joanne Tulip . He murdered her during sexual intercourse in Stamfordham , Northumberland , on Christmas Day the previous year . A rape charge was recorded but not pursued . During the sentencing at Newcastle Crown Court , Mr Justice Potts addressed Ling , saying : " You inflicted appalling injuries on Ms Tulip while you were having sexual relations with her . I 'm also satisfied there was in your motivation an aspiration of sadism . " You will never be released so long as it is thought you constitute a danger to women . " Originally , Ling was ordered to serve a minimum of 20 years in custody , but this term was reduced to 18 years by a High Court judge in 2009 , reports the Express . Parole hearings are usually conducted privately , but since legal changes initiated in 2022 , some can be held publicly upon request , aiming to increase transparency in the process . In April @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Parole Board for England and Wales , approved a public hearing for Ling 's fifth parole review . During the hearing on Monday , which was live-streamed from the prison where Ling is detained , the press and public were in attendance . It had been made clear that Ling would not be visible on camera after he opted out of being filmed . However , on the first day , the chair of the panel announced Ling 's testimony would be taken in private . When the media sought to contest this decision , they were informed that they could not address the panel directly . The Parole Board said : " To ensure the panel could make a fair and informed decision based on the risk he presents to the public , it was very recently decided that Steven Ling 's evidence should be held in the private section of the hearing . This was to ensure there is opportunity for him to give his best evidence and his ability to speak openly about areas of interest to the panel .

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('They') + V1 ('locked') + NP object ('us') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('asking questions about the moment'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the action of locking prevented the object ('us') from performing the action described by the VP2[-ing] predicate ('asking questions'). The verb 'locked' can be categorized under exerting force or pressure, fitting one of the semantic classes of verbs that appear in the V1 slot. The NP object 'us' functions as a causee, which is a requirement for the construction. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'forged careers out of being attractive', where 'out of being attractive' modifies 'careers' and does not involve a causee or a prevention/movement interpretation. The verb 'forged' does not fit the semantic classes of verbs typically used in the transitive out of -ing construction, and the object 'careers' is not a causee.

I think that when I got famous , she felt threatened by me because before I came along , she was the only big name in glamour modelling . " Not only did the pair have glamour modelling in common , they both love horses , with Jodie opening an animal sanctuary in recent years and Katie always having owned and ridden the animals . But instead of bonding over their mutual interest , the two women saw it as another thing to throw insults over . Jodie has left showbiz behind to open an animal sanctuary ( Image : Instagram ) Both Jodie and Katie love horses ( Image : jodiemarshtv/Instagram ) Jodie hit Katie where it hurts when she said she had " f*** all " equestrian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Speaking to lads mag Zoo ( RIP ) in 2009 , Jodie went in on mum-of-five Katie , saying : " What does Jordan do on a horse ? Dressage . Trots around , that 's all she does . She does n't jump . She does n't do f*** all . She just sits on it , poses and pouts . I started horse riding again recently and I have n't ridden since I was 14 . So I 've got on it after 17 years , and it 's a beast . I cantered him , galloped him and got over proper jumps . " Katie and Jodie have made various digs about each others relationships , but one man in particular was at the heart of yet another clash between them . Katie 's third husband and dad to her kids Jett and Bunny , Kieran Hayler , was allegedly " obsessed " with Jodie first , with Jodie claiming she pied him off . In an incredible power move , Jodie hit headlines in 2013 - just as Katie and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would n't leave her alone . Jodie claimed Kieran Hayler was " obsessed with her " Speaking to heat magazine in 2013 , Jodie dropped the bombshell , revealing : " Kieran was obsessed with me . There were a lot of people saying to me ' Oh he really likes you Jodie , why do n't you follow him and give him a chance ? ' And I felt a bit pressured to follow him back . I did but only for a short time because his messages were incessant . I started to believe he was just one of these ' party boys ' - boys who just wanted to get with someone to get famous . " The two women have made no secret of the fact they take pride in their appearance , having both forged careers out of being attractive - so what better way to go at each other than insulting each other 's looks . Both Katie and Jodie have made cruel jibes about the other in this department , with Katie famously taking a harsh @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a builder 's elbow " . But Jodie did n't take it lying down , getting Katie back when she had her teeth done . The Mucky Mansion star was showing off her new pearly whites , when a Twitter user posted a meme saying she looked like a ' Bond villain ' . Seeing a chance to have a go , Jodie re-tweeted it with a ton of laughing emojis . Another of the warring ladies ' low blows towards each other came from Jodie in 2015 , when she took aim at Katie 's family situation . Speaking about her rival in 2015 , Jodie told ZOO magazine : " Oh yeah , her - the one who 's famous for having loads of different kids with different dads ! " Furious Katie hit back at her rival , saying it was wrong of Jodie for " knocking mothers like me " . |

Kinich will prioritize valid Coilgrass Sigils as grapple targets , and he can use Nightsoul Transmission once every 10 seconds . When interacting with Coilgrass Sigils and other items that can interact with Yumkasaurs , Kinich 's Elemental Skill will be converted to ' Yumkasaur Mimesis ' , which causes interactions with such items to follow rules applicable to Yumkasaurs , and which will not put Kinich 's Skill @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Desolation - When in Nightsoul 's Blessing , opponents hit by Kinich 's Elemental Skill damage will enter the Desolation state , and when affected by Burning or Burgeon reaction damage , they will restore seven Nightsoul points to him .

As with most plunging attacks , Kinich strikes the ground below dealing AOE ( Area of Effect ) damage upon impact , and damaging any enemies caught on his path to the ground . Kinich uses his big-game hunting skills to either move swiftly , or attack his opponent . When no opponents are nearby , using his Skill fires a grappling hook forward so he can swing in mid-air , with this Skill 's cooldown decreasing by 60% . When an opponent is present , Kinich instead fires the hook at the target opponent and enters Nightsoul 's Blessing at zero Nightsoul points . The Skill button can also be held to aim the grappling hook . Image credit : HoYoverse Kinich 's Nightsoul 's Blessing lasts 10 seconds and generates two Nightsoul points every second . In this state , Kinich will hook onto a nearby opponent and perform a variable attack : Using a normal attack will perform a loop shot around the grapple target based on current @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and generating three Nightsoul points . Kinich 's Mid-air swing normal attack is considered Elemental Skill damage in this state . When his Nightsoul points are at max , Kinich can use the Scalespiker Cannon Elemental Skill to consume all Nightsoul points and deal Dendro damage with the Nightsoul attribute . When Scalespiker Cannon is held , Kinich can take aim at his target , and after firing the Cannon , Kinich will try to grapple to its target . While in Nightsoul 's Blessing , Kinich will generate a Dead Zone beside an opponent he has grappled to or fired the Cannon at . When he enters this Zone , it will be canceled , and Kinich will gain four Nightsoul points.If the grapple connection should snap due to exceeded distance or some other reason , using a normal attack will establish a new connection with a nearby opponent before performing a loop shot .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'getting a thrill out of causing harm' involves a transitive verb 'get' with an NP object 'a thrill', but it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Additionally, the NP object 'a thrill' does not function as a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'causing harm'. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

A wildlife sanctuary was left " sickened " after yet another bird was rescued after being shot with a catapult . The baby swan , known as a cygnet , was found struggling to walk at Loscoe Dam , near Heanor , on Friday ( July 12 ) morning . Linjoy Wildlife Sanctuary and Rescue stepped in to help . An examination revealed a circular foreign body in the swan 's leg and an X-ray confirmed that it was a ball bearing , something which the sanctuary says is commonly found in birds , most likely a result of people using catapults . Despite operating in the Midlands , the sanctuary takes in animals from across the UK and has noted a significant increase in the shooting of birds nationwide . In July alone , the sanctuary has seen four birds enter its care after being shot . One of the birds , a white pigeon from Stapenhill , Burton , was shot with an air rifle , while another bird , from Cheshire , was shot twice with a catapult . The charity , which spends ? 4,000 a month to keep afloat - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is only getting worse . A spokesperson for Linjoy Wildlife Sanctuary and Rescue said : " The swan was reported on Friday morning . " A member of the public noticed it limping and struggling to walk and picked it up and dropped it to a volunteer who then brought it over . We could feel the round ball bearing so he was taken straight to our vet where it was removed under local anaesthesia . " We are seeing an increased amount of attacks on wildlife using catapults and ball bearings . The perpetrators seem to go out with an aim to kill or maim anything they come across . It 's sickening to think that these individuals are getting a thrill out of causing harm to wild animals who are just going about their lives , especially when it 's happening on nature reserves . It seems nowhere is safe . " We are all volunteers and operate around the clock for emergencies - but a typical day starts at 8am and finishes at 11pm . It costs us on average ? 4,000 a month @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ account the vet bills . We have a great team of dedicated volunteers and although we love what we do , it can be tiring and emotionally draining . " Derbyshire police released a statement following the discovery of the bird , labelling it a " disturbing report " . A spokesperson for the force said : " We have been made aware by a local wildlife rescue of a cygnet that has been found injured on Loscoe Dam on the morning of Friday , July 12 . " The cygnet has been injured by a ball bearing being fired from a catapult . Fortunately , the cygnet was rescued and taken to a vet and is recovering well , however , this report is very concerning and Loscoe Dam is a well-visited area with local residents and dog walkers . If anyone can provide any information or witnessed any of this behaviour , please get in touch quoting 24000415548. " |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'see a way out of overwhelming debt', where 'overwhelming debt' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the sentence does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

A raft of financial changes are set to take place in June that could affect your personal budget . Amidst the announcement of a general election , some of these changes include new cost of living payments for individuals living in certain areas . Furthermore , some Universal Credit recipients may see a rise in their payments , depending on when their last assessment period was . The Bank of England is also anticipated to make a significant announcement that could impact the UK economy and your mortgage repayments when it reviews interest rates in June . Pet owners should be mindful of a new law to avoid potential fines , and banknotes featuring King Charles ' image may start showing up in your cash . Here 's a detailed breakdown of all the financial changes happening in June 2024 . In the Spring Budget , Chancellor Jeremy Hunt confirmed that the government will scrap the multiple dwellings relief for stamp duty land tax . Those who purchase more than one dwelling in a single transaction - such as houses and flats bought @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , or houses with an annexe - will no longer benefit from the tax relief from June 1 , leading to higher costs on larger purchases , reports Wales Online . Initially , the relief was designed to encourage investment in the private rental sector . However , an HMRC review found it had no significant impact and was instead leading to system abuse . The decision has been met with criticism from private investors who believe the stamp duty change will result in property values falling . The chancellor stated that abolishing Multiple Dwellings Relief would generate approximately ? 385 million annually for the Treasury . Vulnerable households could start receiving benefits from the Household Support Fund after its extension earlier this year . Councils utilise this fund to provide additional support to those grappling with living costs . Assistance may be provided in the form of free school meal vouchers or other vouchers to help cover essential costs such as clothing , rent , and energy bills . Some households might @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ households under Cornwall Council , which confirmed it will issue ? 80 payments from June 3 . Not all households will qualify for HSF support and many councils are offering different types of assistance . To determine eligibility in your area , contact your local council to find out what HSF support will be available in June . For the first time ever , starting June 5 , UK banknotes will bear the face of King Charles . The king 's portrait will be debuting on the front side of the notes and will also make an appearance within the secure clear window which is visible from both sides . On the flip side , each banknote will extend their presently showcased significant British figures such as Sir Winston Churchill , to name one , seen on the ? 5 note , Jane Austen whose picture can be spotted on the ? 10 note , JMW Turner gracing the ? 20 , and Alan Turing who is present on the ? 50 note . It has been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Queen Elizabeth II will retain their legal tender status , with old and new editions being in circulation together . Cat owners will need to ensure that their felines are microchipped by this date in compliance with a new law , failure to do which could result in them facing a substantial penalty . Cats Matter , a charity , pointed out that at present an estimated one quarter of UK cats may not be microchipped . Making the case , a spokesperson for the charity stressed : " Once the new law comes into force , owners found without their cat microchipped will have just 21 days to have one implanted . After the 21 days , owners may then face a fine of up to ? 500 . We have done the hard part by getting the law changed . Now it is down to cat owners to make sure this is the success we know it can and will be . " The Bank of England 's commitment to reducing inflation to 2 per cent is likely influencing interest rate decisions . Encouragingly , inflation fell to 2.1 per cent in April , the lowest since July 2021 . Interest rates impact loan repayments , with lower rates leading to lower mortgage payments . While mortgage rates have decreased slightly since December , around 45 per cent of fixed-rate mortgage holders are expected to face higher monthly payments upon repricing by the end of 2026 . Changes to Debt Relief Orders ( DROs ) are coming into effect on June 28 . The ? 90 fee was removed in April , and next month will see increases in the debt threshold and vehicle value . The total debt covered by a DRO will rise from ? 30,000 to ? 50,000 , and the value of a vehicle a person can own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? 4,000 . Andrew Shore , assistant director of policy at the Insolvency Service , commented : " Some people need a car for work , mobility or family reasons , but the value of vehicles has risen a lot in recent years . Raising the value of the car you can own will enable more people to access a DRO when they need one . " " And those who owe up to ? 50,000 but do n't have the money to make repayments to creditors will be able to see a way out of overwhelming debt . The changes reflect challenges that people are facing now and will make sure DROs are available to people who really need that help . " UK households are being advised to take a fresh meter reading before July 1 , when the new energy price cap comes into effect . This simple step , taken the day before the cap 's implementation could prevent consumers from overpaying on electricity due to the energy companies ' estimation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could also provide much-needed support should billing disputes arise or allegations of unfair charges be levelled . In June , parents receiving Child Benefit should look out for a letter from HMRC that requires a response , failure to do so could mean losing out on over ? 1,300 . These letters will be arriving between May 24 and July 17 and will ask for additional information . Andy Wood from Crypto Tax Degens has highlighted the urgency for parents to act swiftly , stating : " Parents will soon receive a letter from HMRC , asking them to confirm whether their child remains enrolled in full-time education or training . Remaining eligible for child benefits depends on whether you have a child under 16 ( or 20 if the child is in education or training ) . " He added : " Child benefit payments amount to a substantial sum , with the potential to reach up to ? 1,331 annually for the initial child and up to ? 881 yearly for each additional child . The letter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 24 and July 17 and will contain a QR code guiding recipients to the gov.uk website . Once there , parents can conveniently proceed to renew their child benefit claim online . " " Gov.uk have warned parents have until August 31 to take action or their payments will automatically stop . Although child benefit payments are available to all individuals with children , those with higher incomes are liable to pay the High Income Child Benefit Charge . " Meanwhile , some benefit claimants are still awaiting the new full rate that was introduced last month by the Department for Work and Pensions ( DWP ) , as the new rate only applies during the first assessment period on or after April 8 . Following the end of the first assessment period , some individuals may have received the previous rate this month as the assessment period began before April 8 . As a result , if they have n't already received it , the new full rate should be paid from June 1 .

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('you') + V1 ('shake') + NP object ('yourself') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('something'). It also involves a reflexive NP object ('yourself') coreferential with the subject ('you'), which is one of the atypical types allowed in the construction. The interpretation here is a movement/extraction interpretation, as it implies causing oneself to move out of a certain state or situation.

After the news hit the web , rumors erupted that they had split because Sophie was partying too much - especially after snaps of her enjoying a wild night out with her costars just days before Joe filed began to circulate . ' It hurt because I really do completely torture myself over every move I make as a mother -- mom guilt is so real , ' continued Sophie . ' I just kept having to say to myself , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ good mom and you 've never been a partier .

It felt like I was watching a movie of my life that I had n't written , had n't produced , or starred in . It was shocking . I 'm still in shock . ' The Game of Thrones star , 28 , and the Jonas Brothers singer , 34 , shocked the world when they announced they were divorcing in September 2023 ( seen in March 2023 ) Joe and Sophie started dating in 2016 , and he proposed one year later ; they then eloped in Las Vegas in 2019 , which was followed by a lavish wedding celebration in France that summer .

' And then , finally , after two weeks of me being in a rut , she reminded me that it was my children I was fighting for . ' Once anyone says to me , " Do it for your kids , " I 'm doing it .

My kids were in the States and I could n't get to them because I had to finish Joan . And all these articles started coming out ... ' the star trailed off . After the news hit the web , rumors erupted that they had split because Sophie was partying too much - especially after snaps of her enjoying a wild night out with her costars just days before Joe filed began to circulate . ' It hurt because I really do completely torture myself over every move I make as a mother -- mom guilt is so real , ' continued Sophie . ' I just kept having to say to myself , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ good mom and you 've never been a partier .

' The Game of Thrones star , 28 , and the Jonas Brothers singer , 34 , shocked the world when they announced they were divorcing in September 2023 ( seen in March 2023 ) Joe and Sophie started dating in 2016 , and he proposed one year later ; they then eloped in Las Vegas in 2019 , which was followed by a lavish wedding celebration in France that summer . Sophie recalled struggling with being branded as a Jonas Brothers ' wife following their marriage . ' There was a lot of attention on the three brothers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wives , and I hated that , ' she admitted . ' It was kind of this plus-one feeling . And that 's nothing to do with him -- in no way did he make me feel that -- it was just that the perception of us was as the groupies in the band . ' Things only got worse after they moved from Los Angeles to Miami in 2021 , as Sophie said it felt like she was a ' bird trapped in a gilded cage ' - especially since she was completely separated from her friends . ' We were in this community full of 50-year-old men , so imagine trying to make friends on the dog walk , ' she dished . In the end , Sophie credited her close pals - including pop sensation Taylor Swift - with helping her to get through the rough time after her highly publicized split from Joe . ' The support I had from the women in my life during that time was the most amazing thing to see . I felt so held and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was an absolute hero to me this year . I 've never been more grateful to anyone than I am for her because she took my children and me , and provided us with a home and a safe space . She really has a heart of gold . ' Back in October , Joe and Sophie set up a temporary custody arrangement after she sued him over his efforts to prevent her from taking their children out of the US on an allegedly pre-planned trip to the UK . Joe and Sophie started dating in 2016 , and he proposed one year later ; they then eloped in Las Vegas in 2019 , which was followed by a lavish wedding celebration in France that summer ; seen last August It granted each parent two weeks at a time with their daughters until January 2024 , and allowed the girls to travel back and forth between the US and UK .

Joe is a great father to our children and that 's all that I can ask for . ' I do n't care about the politics , I just want the girls to feel loved and have everyone show up for them . ' Since she and Joe split , Sophie has been linked to Peregrine Pearson - the eldest son and heir of Michael Pearson , the 4th Viscount Cowdray , and a former film producer who owns a significant chunk of the Pearson media empire .

The sentence 'she manages to sidle her way out of anything' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction, where 'she' is the NP subject, 'sidle' is the V1, 'her way' is the NP object (with the possessive pronoun coreferential with the subject), and 'out of anything' implies a VP2[-ing] predicate. This aligns with the atypical types of NP object as described in the sixth property, specifically the possessive way NP object. The interpretation here is prevention, as 'sidling her way out of anything' suggests avoiding or preventing involvement in various situations.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The verb 'get' is used with 'a kick out of watching', which does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it expresses a personal reaction or enjoyment, which is not characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Ally Mackay will get a kick out of watching DC United going up against his boyhood heroes Celtic this weekend , writes Michael Gannon in the USA . The DC United general manager from the Isle of Lewis was Hoops fan as a kid on the island but he revealed his love affair with the Parkhead club started off as a way to wind up his Rangers daft dad ! Mackay has made an incredible journey in the game , starting life on the Western Isles and playing for Partick Thistle 's youth sides before heading across to the US and becoming part of the super agent Stellar Group before making his way as one of the top GMs in the MLS . Mackay spent five years at Nashville -- where he snapped up Celtic star Alistair Johnston as a youngster -- and made the move to the Capital club last November . He 's kept tabs on the Hoops all the way and he admitted this weekend 's friendly clash at the Audi Field will be something special -- and for once he might have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a result . Mackay said : " I do n't remember why , but I fell out with my dad ( Callum ) . It was n't anything big , it must have been about football . He 's a massive Rangers fan . I was like , you know what ? I 'm going to support Celtic . " I think it was just one of those things where , maybe for a week , I watched a lot of Celtic games . It was Paul McStay then it became Jorge Cadete and Pierre van Hooijdonk , Paolo Di Canio . I 'm like , man , this team 's actually pretty good and they 're winning right now . " It was kind of a joke initially because where I 'm from , it 's a pretty distinct in terms of that . My dad was one of the first few to sign up to the Lewis and Harris Rangers Supporters Club , which is now the largest Rangers Supporters Club in the world . A friend of mine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ did n't really get the chance to get down much because I was always playing football on the weekends . We certainly were n't poor or anything like that but we did n't really have the means . " We certainly were n't going down to Parkhead and it 's such a big distance . You 've got the boat journey . We certainly were n't going to get a flight or anything like that . We 'd do the boat . We 'd sometimes go down to Glasgow and see family or whatever . " Once I eventually got to Parkhead and obviously Paradise , the atmosphere was just ... It sucks you in . It 's unbelievable what it can do and it was fun .. Then all of my mates , all of my family , are all Rangers fans . So I always know when the games are on and when the Old Firms are on . People are n't shy in telling me if Rangers have won ! " Mackay has never been afraid to swim against the tide . He made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an entire club -- and at 37-years-old is the youngsters general manager in the MLS . He said : " It 's kind of my personality . You know , I was very much like a dreamer . " When you grow up in Lewis , you have to dream . You 're looking out over the miles and miles of marsh and sheep and you see the Hollywood movies on the box . I always wanted to do stuff , so I had big aspirations . I just did n't know how to do them because I was so young . " My parents would probably say I was fine but I think I was quite difficult because I was so aspirational , so driven . It 's part of who I am , right ? Even when I was at Stellar , it was just part of the plan . I 'll start being an agent but I really want to end up at a top-level job in MLS because I 've been in America for a while . I like America . " My @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the goal was to become a GM in MLS . So it 's been really fulfilling that way . " The Celtic clash is a dream come true but the encounter was already being planned before he arrived last November . And Mackay revealed it was old Alistair Johnston who broke the news his heroes were on the way . He said : " I think it was in the works . It 's really funny because Ali was someone we had drafted at Nashville . Ali sends us a text asking what the best places in DC are . " I 'm like , what is this guy doing ? What 's going on here ? He 's like , nah , ' we 're playing you guys ! ' He 's a top lad . He 's obviously someone I 've spent a lot of time with in Nashville . " Mackay keeps a close eye on Celts and has been blown away by Brendan Rodgers making a big impact in his second spell at Parkhead . And he 's convinced the Hoops will be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rebuild after struggling under former boss Wayne Rooney . Mackay said : " For us , it 's all about improvement , always . We 'll be using the game as an acid test , for a benchmark . We 're still in that process of transition . " Playing your home field against a high calibre team that has had a lot of success , particularly in Europe . We 've got a good nucleus of young players who have aspirations to probably play in Europe . Whenever you can showcase yourself , I think the lads will be quite driven . Couple that with some of the new faces . It 's certainly not going to be something we 're going to just lie down for either . " It 's a good opportunity for the club . It 's a good platform . It 's a very strong fan base . There will be that competitive element . " Story Saved You can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'pulled out of attending the ceremony' involves 'pulled out of' followed by a gerund, but the subject 'he' is not causing an object to move or preventing an object from doing something in the way described by the transitive out of -ing construction. Instead, it describes the subject's own action of withdrawing from attending the ceremony.

Meghan Markle 's public rift with her father Thomas Markle , who celebrated his 80th birthday this week , reportedly set ' alarm bells ringing ' for the late Queen Elizabeth II . Before her marriage to Prince Harry , Meghan had a very public dispute with her dad , which became more pronounced when he was caught staging photos with the paparazzi before her 2018 wedding and subsequently pulled out of attending the ceremony . Thomas Markle has not spoken to his daughter since the fallout , missing the chance to meet Prince Harry or his grandchildren , Archie and Lilibet . Sources claim reports the Mirror that Meghan 's estrangement from her father was seen as a ' significant ' concern by the Queen . The source claims the late Queen feared the repercussions it might have on the Royal Family 's image , reports the Daily Mail . A source shared with the publication : " Meghan 's public disagreements with her father set alarm bells ringing at the time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the Royal Family in general . Looking back , the Queen might have had an inkling of what was to come . " In the Netflix documentary featuring Meghan and Harry , Meghan disclosed how she sought guidance from the Queen regarding the situation with her father , saying : " I reached out to Her Majesty and was , like , ' This is what 's going on . What do you want me to do ? I want ... whatever advice you have . ' " Meghan with her dad Thomas ( Image : No credit ) " Ultimately , it was suggested by the Queen and the Prince of Wales now King Charles that I write my dad a letter . " However , Thomas later described receiving the letter as akin to a " dagger to the heart " . Thomas has been vocal in his attempts to reconnect with Meghan , even taking to television to plead his case . In a heartfelt plea on Good Morning Britain last September , he implored : " I 've always been here @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her forever . I want her to reach out to me and let me see my grandkids and let me have a little peace . It 's been five years . " Despite the current estrangement , Meghan once shared a close relationship with her father . Her former lifestyle blog , The Tig , featured poignant reflections on their past bond . One particularly tender post recounts cherished childhood moments , such as enjoying " Our club sandwich and fruit smoothie tradition post my tap and ballet class - classes , which by the way , he religiously took me to on Saturday mornings after working 75+ hours a week as a lighting director . " Meghan also reminisced about how her father would bring his professional expertise to her school plays , elevating them with his lighting skills to make them feel " as grand as a Broadway show " . Meghan concluded her heartfelt message with a touching tribute , saying " To my dad - my thoughtful , inspiring , hardworking Daddy - Happy Father 's Day . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , I 'd give all the water to you ... ' ( You wo n't get that quote , but he will . And for Father 's Day , that 's all that matters ) . " |

The KitchenAid Go Cordless Food Chopper is part of the KitchenAid Go range of battery-powered small kitchen appliances that all have interchangeable batteries . It performs just as efficiently as its corded counterparts , but has the convenience of not needing to be near a power outlet . It 's great for chopping , mixing , and whipping all sorts of ingredients and is very intuitive to use . KitchenAid is a trusted kitchen appliance brand that already offers a range of food choppers , but the KitchenAid Go Cordless Food Chopper stands out for being battery-powered . Moreover , the same battery can be used across the KitchenAid Go range of appliances . Whether you 're short on space , short on power outlets , or you simply want the best blender to use wherever you choose , having a battery-operated food chopper can offer the convenience you crave . The size and functionality is similar to KitchenAid 's plug-in 5 cup food chopper , except the KitchenAid Go Cordless Food Chopper offers two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ near a power outlet . But with this convenience comes a higher price tag . ( Image credit : Future ) On test , it reliably chopped , mixed and whipped its way through a variety of ingredients . I was relieved that the battery lasted long enough for several uses and did n't need charging at all during testing . Plus all the accessories can be easily washed in the dishwasher . It 's compact and easy to move around , which also means it does n't take up too much storage space . But the flip side of this is that its capacity wo n't be enough for everyone . Read on further for my in-depth review of its design and performance . List price with battery : US$129.99 / GBP ? 179 / AU$228 List price without battery : US$89.99 / GBP ? 149 / AU$159 Availability : UK / US / AUS The KitchenAid Go Cordless Food Chopper can be purchased with or without the battery . This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Collection is a range of battery-powered small kitchen appliances that all work using the same removable , swappable battery . The prices above are for the version that includes the battery , and buying it without the battery will save you $30/ ? 30 / AU$69 . A word of warning though , a spare battery will cost $49.99 / ? 69 / AU$69 . So if you 're in the US or UK and think you may need it , then it makes sense to buy it bundled in with the appliance itself . Being cord-free does come with a premium price tag , however : a standard variable speed corded food chopper from KitchenAid will cost significantly less at around $70/ ? 109 / AU$159 . Whether or not being cord-free is worth the extra investment will depend on your circumstances . For example , in a kitchen that lacks power sockets it 'll be worth considering spending the extra for the convenience of battery power . Of course , you can always keep your eyes peeled for a discount . In the US @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ $99.99 including a battery , so if it 's not discounted when you look , check back again later . Value for money score : 4 out of 5 Compact and easy to store Streamlined appearance Simple to use and assemble The KitchenAid Go Cordless Food Chopper is a 39.9oz / 1.18 liter capacity food chopper . In addition to a chopping blade , it comes with a plastic whisking accessory . There are two speeds to choose from , each speed represented by a button that has to be held down for the duration of the chopping or whisking task . Alternatively , the buttons can be pressed briefly but repeatedly , for a pulse action . There are no other controls to worry about , so using it is very straightforward . ( Image credit : Future ) The removable , swappable battery is charged via the supplied USB cable , but you 'll have to supply your own plug . Or , you can invest in a charging dock if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ measures 10.4 x 5.7 x 7.2 " / 26.5 x 14.5 x 18.4cm ( h x w x d ) and weighs just 2.9lbs/ 1.3kg . It 's compact compared with a standard food processor , but still a usable size for chopping small to medium quantities and portions . It 's small and light enough to store neatly away in a drawer or cupboard , without being a hassle to move around . The BPA free clear plastic bowl slots directly into position without a twisting or locking action . The lid however , does have to be twisted to lock it into place . On top of the lid there 's a handy little hole for drizzling oil or water in during mixing . Unlike many other KitchenAid appliances , it does n't come in a multitude of colors , just the matte black finish . The appearance overall is streamlined and inoffensive . Design score : 5 out of 5 Fast , efficient chopping Copes well with all ingredients Useable capacity for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 7oz of a mixed whole nut selection including brazil nuts , hazelnuts , and pecan nuts . I was looking for a chopped , not ground nut texture , so I pressed the lower speed button for quick one second bursts to pulse the nuts . ( Image credit : Future ) I stopped pulsing once there were no large nut pieces left , which took about 20 pulses . The finished texture of the nuts was a combination of chunkier chopped pieces and some powder . But in my experience it 's quite difficult to achieve a consistent chopped nut texture , especially when chopping a variety of nuts at once . With that in mind , this was n't a bad result . When I needed to chop some whole dried apricots , I started off trying to pulse them like with the nuts , but it was quickly obvious this was n't doing a lot . So instead I kept the lower speed button pressed . ( Image credit : Future ) The apricots were chopped up in just 30 seconds and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dried apricots can be . To make hummus , I put all the ingredients into the chopper and blended on the lower speed setting . It took just 25 seconds to create an evenly textured , slightly coarse hummus . It did wobble a little during blending but not so much that I felt the need to put a hand on the top to steady it . ( Image credit : Future ) Just before the end , I poured some extra olive oil in through the drizzle hole at the top . It 's very convenient to be able to do this without taking the lid off . It 's not too noisy and since it 's generally only used for short bursts , I did n't find the noise offensive . My noise meter registered 84dB on the lower speed setting and a slightly louder 88dB on the higher speed setting . These are pretty average noise levels for a blender or one of the best food processors . ( Image credit : Future ) When making a falafel mixture I used @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ small red onion . I peeled and quartered the onion before adding it to the chopper , then chopped on high speed for five seconds . I scraped down the sides and chopped for a further five seconds , which was all that was needed for a finely chopped texture . Next I added roughly 1oz / 30g of parsley and cilantro including stalks , and again it speedily chopped the fresh herbs in just five seconds on the high speed setting . Finally I added all the falafel ingredients back into the chopper and blended it for 30 seconds on the lower speed , followed by 30 seconds on the higher speed . ( Image credit : Future ) The falafel mixture is relatively dry and heavy , so I had to stop mixing every 15 seconds and scrape down the sides . But the end result was beautifully evenly mixed and chopped . To try out the whisk accessory I whipped up a ? pint / 300ml carton of heavy cream on the high speed setting . After just 20 seconds I switched to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before it was thick and whipped . ( Image credit : Future ) The battery life will vary somewhat depending on the type of use . But to give you a realistic observation from my time using the chopper , after all the chopping , mixing and whisking I 've described above , the battery level still displayed 75% . After a further two minutes chopping on high speed , it was down to 50% , but I think that 's still pretty impressive , given how much I used it . A full charge takes around three hours , but you can buy more batteries if you 'd prefer to always have a backup charged and ready to go . ( Image credit : Future ) Any appliance with a sharp blade is always going to be a bit of a pain to clean . But all in all I did n't find cleaning the parts by hand to be too tricky . In part this is because everything is small and cleans quickly . Additionally , though , after making particularly messy or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dishwasher , which was an easy and convenient way to clean up . Performance score : 5 out of 5 Swipe to scroll horizontally Section Notes Score Value for money It 's expensive in comparison to corded choppers , but the freedom of being battery operated will outweigh the cost for some people . 4/5 Design Straightforward user-friendly design . It 's simple , compact , and convenient to use as well as store . Being cordless is the standout design feature that separates it from the crowd .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'forcing her to pull out of hosting' involves a different construction where 'pull out of' is followed by a gerund, but it lacks the necessary NP object and does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'priced themselves out of selling Lukaku' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to describe a financial situation where Chelsea has set a price that prevents the sale of Lukaku, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Both the asking price from Chelsea and the wage demands of one of their exit-linked players have dropped as a move abroad becomes more and more likely , according to reports . Chelsea have more than 40 players on the books at the moment after several who were out on loan last season returned to the club . Naturally , that number is going to have to decrease for new head coach Enzo Maresca to have a manageable squad . Of the players who were out on loan , one of the most likely to leave on a permanent basis is Romelu Lukaku . Chelsea broke their club transfer record to buy the striker from Inter in 2021 , but his second spell at Stamford Bridge did not live up to expectations . Now , after loans back in Serie A with Inter and Roma , Lukaku is looking to be sold by Chelsea . And once again , Italy is expected to be his destination . Former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has taken charge of Napoli and after getting the best out of Lukaku in his first spell at Inter , wants to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not to make too much of a capital loss , Chelsea have already priced themselves out of selling Lukaku over the past couple of years .

According to talkSPORT , despite Lukaku having a ? 38m release clause -- designed last year to simplify his sale this summer -- Chelsea are now inviting offers of just ? 29m for the 31-year-old . Meanwhile , Lukaku himself is in no mood to have another campaign tied to Chelsea , whether he 's on loan away from them or playing for them . According to Sky Sport Italia , Lukaku has agreed personal terms with Napoli already . He is happy to earn ? 6m per season ( about ? 97,000 per week ) from them , which is almost half of his current ? 11m annual pay package . Desperate to play for Conte again , Lukaku is willing to do what it takes to join Napoli and start a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mixed fortunes since Chelsea bought him three years ago . He scored just eight Premier League goals in the 2021-22 season , and only 10 in Serie A when he went back to Inter the following campaign . Last season , he scored 13 Serie A goals for Roma , another gradual improvement but a far cry from the title-contributing 24-goal haul that encouraged Chelsea to sign him from Inter in the first place . Conte is the coach Lukaku has scored the most goals for in his career , so it 's no surprise he 's so eager to join Napoli , even with no European football on offer . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject (first responders or bridge workers) + V1 (talking) + NP object (people) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (jumping). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the action of talking prevents people from jumping. The verb 'talking' falls under the category of verbal persuasion, which is one of the means to achieve a goal in this construction. The NP object 'people' functions as a causee, participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'jumping'. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Suicides at San Francisco 's Golden Gate Bridge have dramatically declined since officials installed a huge $400 million safety feature described as a ' cheese grater ' earlier this year . A 20-foot-wide stainless steel mesh now lines both sides of the 2.7-kilometer bridge as both a deterrence for would-be jumpers , and as a literal safety net .

Reasoning

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses the phrase 'get the most out of using Kachina', where 'using Kachina' is a gerund phrase acting as the object of the preposition 'out of'. This does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

While in an area with Phlogiston Devices within Natlan , she can use Nightsoul Transmission : Kachina .

And I know that she will build an election winning team . " After one of the ballots , he tweeted : " Proud to have voted for my good friend and excellent colleague Liz Truss to be Conservative leader and Prime Minister . " In the wake of the mini-Budget catastrophe , Mr Cleverly went on the radio to defence her economic plans .

A Tory leadership candidate has been skewered over his poor judgment in helping Liz Truss to become PM . Tom Tugendhat faced awkward questions just hours after he launched his bid to become the party 's new leader . As he appeared on ITV 's Good Morning Britain , presenter Ranvir Singh challenged him over the devastating impact Ms Truss ' mini-Budget had on ordinary families .

Sometimes , it feels like no good workout is complete without its own glossary . From ' reps ' and ' sets ' to ' progressive overload ' and metrics like ' BMI ' , ' PBs ' and training protocols like ' HIIT ' , ' LISS ' and ' Tabata ' , there 's a lot to take in . So sincere apologies for introducing two new terms . Fortunately ' flexion ' and ' extension ' are as simple to understand as their benefits are huge : in fact , there 's a good chance you 're already employing them in your workout routine without realising it . And if you are n't , consider this your sign to ' LU ' ( ' Level Up ' ) . Jun What we mean by ' flexion ' and ' extension ' Like circumduction and abduction , flexion and extension refer less to specific workouts , and more to how our anatomy functions . " Flexion refers to a movement that decreases the angle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expert PT at OneBodyLDN . " For example , when the knee flexes , the ankle moves closer to the buttock , and the angle between the femur and tibia gets smaller . " Extension refers to the opposite : increasing the angle between two body parts . In the example above , an extension of the knee straightens the leg , moving the ankle further from the buttock . In terms of your workout , a bicep curl would be a flexion movement , and a tricep curl an extension . Do both in the same workout and your arms as a whole will grow stronger , instead of just one muscle working on a single plane of movement . Flexion and extension are n't just for your arms , though . Your legs , core , and even your back benefit . " Squats and lunges involve a lot of flexion and extension in your knees and hips , " explains Jessica May , founder of Jessica May Wellness . " Planks and crunches will work on your core flexion and extension . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? You might have heard the cautionary tale of the guy who spends all his time doing push-ups , only for his overdeveloped chest muscles to pull his shoulders forward , leading to a hunched posture and backache . For Anthony Maritato , a physical therapist and orthopaedic specialist , training movements over specific muscle groups is the best way to minimise imbalances and improve athletic performance , pointing to a 2020 study which found that while single-joint and multi-joint resistance exercises produce similar strength gains , multi-joint exercises help ensure balanced muscle and strength development . This leads to reduced imbalances , less muscle fatigue , and a lowered risk of injury through overuse . " Muscles rarely work in isolation , " says Maritato . " From adults carrying bags of groceries to a professional athlete competing for gold , muscles work as a team to achieve specific movements and training them in this manner may be better depending on your goals . " Balance those push-ups out with rows , and that hunching problem can be avoided . Overemphasising one type of movement is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exercises in the gym , sticking to what you know could even lead to injury . " If you 're constantly doing exercises that involve flexion , your muscles and tendons might become overly tight , " May warns . " This can lead to strains and sprains . On the flip side , overdoing extension exercises can also cause problems , like hyperextension injuries . " Maritato points to a 2008 study with professional footballers which found that preseason muscle imbalances can increase the risk of hamstring injuries . By choosing exercises that optimise the strength balance between knee flexion and knee extension , players reduced their risk of being sidelined . Jonathan Moscrop/Getty Images The most useful muscle groups to train this way Dr George Bownes , a sports medicine consultant and founder of Citius Retreats , treats a lot of patients with lumbar back pain , and global cases of 586 million people per year make it the most common musculoskeletal condition in Western society . If that sounds like you , you 'll get the most mileage out of loosening up tight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like child 's pose and pigeon pose performed back to back . In terms of performance , May points to the hamstrings and quads . " Training them can improve your ability to run , jump , and even squat , " she says . " Hamstrings handle the flexion of your knee , while quadriceps take care of the extension . Strengthening these muscles can help you avoid injuries , improve your overall leg strength and even help to support your pelvis and back . " Abdominals and lower back : Crucial for core stability and preventing lower back pain . Work this flexion and extension routine into your training According to Johnson , as long as you 're following a push , pull and legs training routine , you likely already have flexion and extension covered . But , if you prefer to train differently , try working in at least two days a week where you focus on opposite muscles .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee, and the phrase 'out of switching banks' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'out of' is used to indicate the removal of hassle from the process of switching banks, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Air fryers can cut your energy bills if used instead of a regular oven - and provide a homegrown alternative to ordering in takeaways because they cook fast-food very easily and speedily ( Image : Getty Images/ImaZinS RF ) Sign up to our free email alerts for the top money saving stories sent straight to your e-mail UK householders can save at least ? 46 a month with a simple appliance change . It all comes down to the increasing trend for using air fryers rather than standard kitchen ovens . One air fryer owner says her energy bills have dropped from ? 168 to ? 122 a month since using the gadget for meals . On top of that , the household is saving much more by opting to use the fryer instead of ordering in takeaways . Air fryers can cook chips , chicken nuggets , burgers and pizza really quickly , which takes the fuss out of grabbing a fast-food meal on a Friday night or at a weekend . The findings of a survey commissioned by Expert Reviews have revealed that nearly a third ( 32 per cent ) of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ energy bills . The survey of 2091 UK adults also highlighted that over a third of UK air fryer owners are buying fewer takeaway meals because they own an air fryer and use that instead . The popularity of the countertop cooking appliances continues to rise in the UK , with 56 per cent of the UK now owning an air fryer - that 's an 11 per cent increase from 2023 . Reasonably priced air fryers cost from ? 40 and the potential for energy bill reductions can also allow you to continue saving money in the long run . Air fryer owner Helena Young , who lives in a three-bedroom shared house with three other people , says she is " definitely spending less on energy bills " since buying an air fryer . She says " we were previously spending ? 168 per month on gas and electricity " but that has now fallen to ? 121.90 per month . When asked whether or not she thinks purchasing an air fryer has been a good financial decision , Helena responded " absolutely " , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we 're often heating up small amounts of food or baking individual meals which would be really expensive to use the oven for . " Helena says that she 's also spending less on takeaways , as " cooking at home is far more enjoyable when you do n't need to wait half an hour for the grill to turn on . " Experts say air fryers are much more energy-efficient than your average convection oven , when used for short periods . The majority of air fryers tested by Expert Reviews use between 0.52kWh to 1.206kWh at 200C when run for an hour . They 're also able to heat up faster than ovens due to their small size and large fans , which move hot air around at a quicker pace than an oven . But if you plan on running your air fryer for several hours to batch cook , it might be more economical to use your oven instead , as they use less energy to maintain their level of heat once at the correct temperature . Danielle Amato at Expert Reviews @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and climate change remaining a cause for concern , it 's easy to see why there has been such an increase in air fryer popularity over the past year . Opting for an air fryer instead of an oven can be an effective way to start cutting the cost of your energy bills , while introducing more sustainable habits into the home . " Though energy bill reductions can also be dependent on factors such as the weather , how many people live in a home , or the amount of time people spend at home , our findings suggest that air fryers can still have an impact on the amount of money UK households are able to save on their energy bills .

After their son 's murder , Glen Carter and Joan Dixon received some surprising news . They knew that although Kennie Carter was n't the biggest fan of schoolwork , he possessed a hidden talent which they only learned about fully after his death . " When Kennie died the teachers came to my house , " Kennie 's mum Joan told the M.E.N . " They used to say ' we did n't get much work out of Kennie today ' . But then when he died they brought a massive folder , full of artwork . " They said ' we thought you 'd like this ' . It took us back a bit actually . " He was just a normal 16-year-old , " Joan said . " He liked gaming , he liked rap music , he liked being cheeky , he liked drinking all our milk , he loved his food . Pictures of Kennie throughout his life were released by his family ( Image : GMP ) " He loved to do annoying little things like sticking his finger in my ear . Kennie was a no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his game , he was a big gamer . " He was on the verge of adulthood when he was stabbed to death in the street , just down the road from his home in Stretford . He never got the chance to achieve the milestones that most young adults look forward to . " We would have liked to see him have children and grow up to be a normal man , " his dad Glen said . Joan added : " When Kennie was killed , he was killed on our street more or less , just down the road . " Every day we come out we have to walk down that same street , see the same people . Some people , they mean well , but some people just want to go into too much detail . It gets a bit awkward to come out of the house sometimes . " Me and Glen have been together 33 years . In that time we have raised four children . Kennie was 16 , he was our youngest . Next week Kennie @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , he has missed his 18th . " There 's just that missing part gone . He was the baby . " ( Image : PA ) " His sister is due another baby , that 's a niece or nephew he is never going to meet . All the other kids know uncle Kennie , and still ask about uncle Kennie , ' where is uncle Kennie ' ? " It 's hard to explain to four , five , six or seven-year-olds . I lost my mum in November as well , the loss of Kennie seriously impacted her health . " It has been hard every day . It 's waking up every day and reliving absolutely everything , and then waiting for so long for some justice . It has been really hard . " Kennie was caught in the middle of a petty feud , which exploded out of nothing . The day before , friends of Kennie 's had apparently produced a weapon , a bat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accused of his murder had been hit with it . Kennie and a number of the accused were in the area at the time , phone data showed . The following day , Kennie 's killers sought out retribution . On the day he was killed , January 22 , 2022 , Kennie was unfortunate enough to cross their path as he walked down the street . He soon became their target . " I 'm happy that they 've taken some dangerous people off the street , but that 's nothing compared to my son 's life , nowhere near , " Joan said . " Our family wo n't ever be able to move forward . We love our children that much , we ca n't move forward . Joan Dixon ( Image : Manchester Evening News ) " We 've got to live with this every day . I know these people are going to serve a sentence , but we 're serving the biggest sentence ever . It 's going to go on and on and on for us . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up . We have been building this team for years and years , two boys , two girls . " They 're all very very close . The girls are like each other 's sidekicks , and the boys are like each other 's sidekicks . There 's just that missing part gone . He was the baby . " The trial process , which lasted for almost three months , was a difficult experience for the family , as lawyers poured over their son 's last moments in sometimes graphic and unsparing detail . Joan said : " We had to sit in the gallery and have snide remarks made to us by certain families , and had to stay schtum and be quiet . " We were n't there to cause an argument , we were there to get justice for our son , because he deserved it . Anybody that knew Kennie , they 're all left heartbroken and devastated , because he was n't about drama . " He could n't be bothered , he was too lazy to be bothered about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the house for ten minutes , and he 's gone . " As grieving parents with first hand knowledge of how knife crime can destroy lives , Kennie 's mum and dad have strong opinions on how this societal problem should be tackled . More responsibility should lie with parents , Joan says , while she also argues that a ' register ' should be created for people caught carrying knives , with immediate sentences being handed down if they are caught a second time . She said : " As a parent , you know your kids ' friends that they hang around with . If you do n't , why do n't you ? " If you feel your son or your daughter is going out and getting up to no good , do a bit of your own digging about . It 's not going to get fixed on its own . Latif Ferguson , who was found guilty of manslaughter ( Image : GMP ) " The knives need to go down , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ needs to be bigger sentences for these kids , and if you are found carrying a knife you should be put on a register , that you have been found carrying a knife . " And then if you get caught carrying a knife again , it should carry a sentence straight away , because you 've been told about carrying knives , and you 're consistently doing it . " You 're wrecking families , you 're breaking hearts . We 're left with three children instead of four now . We 've built it up , nobody else did that , just me and Glen . " Check where your kids are going , check who they 're with , check their parents , do your own bit of detective work if you have to , because I do with my kids . " I 've got a 24-year-old son and I know where he is every minute of the day . I do n't agree with the parents who sit there and say ' we ca n't do this ' . Yes , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be burying your child , you actually can do it . " And Joan also has a stark message for any young people thinking of carrying a knife . She said : " Do n't hurt your parents , because it 's your parents ' hearts that are going to break if you 're the one who 's going to get stabbed . " It causes devastation . It 's really hard for kids growing up , especially for teenage boys . It has to begin at home first , with the parents . You could be the best parents ever , and your child could still go out and do something devastating . " I do n't think it 's the parents ' fault all the time , because there 's some fantastic parents out there . But what I do feel is that the parents need to work with the kids , and the communities . It 's alright them saying ' the kids need somewhere to go ' , well get off your backsides and help . " Do something with your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ something up yourself if there 's nothing going on . " Four defendants were sentenced in connection with Kennie 's death . Boy A , who was found guilty of murdering Kennie , was detained at His Majesty 's pleasure for a minimum of 17 years . The Parole Board will decide if it is safe for him to be released after that period . Ferguson , of School Walk , Old Trafford , was sentenced to five years detention .

The sentence 'Wamba-Victor thought that he could lie his way out of facing any charges but is now paying for his crime with a prison sentence.' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject (Wamba-Victor) + V1 (lie) + NP object (his way) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (facing any charges). It also exhibits a prevention interpretation, as the action of lying is intended to prevent facing charges. The use of 'his way' as a reflexive NP object coreferential with the subject is also an atypical but acceptable form within this construction, as outlined in the sixth property.

The sentence 'This game @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of fans have been priced out of attending.' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction, where 'have been priced' serves as V1, 'fans' as the NP object, and 'attending' as the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also induces a prevention interpretation, meaning that the high price is preventing fans from attending the game. The subject 'This game' can be seen as an inanimate force causing the prevention, and the object 'fans' are the causees who are prevented from attending. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Lorenzo Colombo of AC Milan celebrates with teammate Alexis Saelemaekers after scoring the team 's first goal during a Pre-Season Friendly match between Manchester City and AC Milan at Yankee Stadium . Manchester City continue their pre season preparations tonight when they take on AC Milan in New York . Pep Guardiola 's side were beaten 4-3 in midweek by Celtic and City 's youthful touring squad has been bolstered by the arrivals of Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic who have now linked up with the Blues . Neither is likely to start but both will be involved against Milan . Guardiola will once again be mixing senior stars with academy prospects in his XI with Erling Haaland and Jack Grealish the main attractions . The team news focus might fall upon whether Ederson is restored in goal and if Kalvin Phillips is afforded another start in midfield . City also have games against Barcelona and Chelsea in the States before the season curtain raiser against Manchester United in the Community Shield . Guardiola 's men then start their Premier League campaign against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge . Kick off tonight at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ follow all the build-up , action , reaction and analysis with us right here . We have a City trialist on the pitch . We repeat . We have a City trialist on the pitch . James McAtee went down feeling something just after his goal so Troyes winger Amar Fatah is on the pitch as he looks to build his fitness up following a difficult spell with injuries . Bobb has had the ball in the net but he was in an offisde position when he received it . He 's playing the No.9 role with Haaland off and Grealish pulling out to the left . Share 00:29Simon Bajkowski If the first goal was made in Norway , this is purely from Manchester ! Micah Hamilton does brilliantly , taking his full-back on and beating him before clipping a ball to the back post . There is McAtee , heading in the second goal to put them level . Lovely stuff from both City academy graduates there . City @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on their lead and were made to pay for it . What can they do now ? Share 00:19Simon Bajkowski Some big news to tell you , and it 's not good . Both teams have swapped their kits at half-time . Nothing spells the end of football like four kits in 90 minutes but City are rocking their new third kit and all kits are being auctioned off to raise donations for New York charities - so there is a good reason behind it ! Much of the dicussion around the first half has revolved around City 's defence simply being caught out for the two goals that they conceded . It is a very young backline and they were schooled by some tricky opponents . Joe writes : A stoppage in play saw Pep five yards on the pitch coaching Susoho and O'Reilly . Haaland missed a golden chance and City are somehow behind to two identical goals . They conceded the same goal three times vs Celtic , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mistake again . It 's a very young , inexperienced defence , but Guardiola must be frustrated to see teams score so easily . Share 23:56Simon Bajkowski City scored the first goal and could have had a second but find themselves behind at half-time . Here are Joe 's ratings at the break . The AC Milan attacker just peels away from Susoho at the back post and as the cross comes over he has the time to volley it past Ederson from close range to put the Italian side 2-1 up . That will be especially painful to Oscar Bobb , who moment earlier exchanged a brilliant one-two with Perrone to enter the box but somehow put his shot wide . Share 23:39Simon Bajkowski And it 's 1-1 ! City had looked really good since the goal , with Oscar Bobb continuing to be a menace and Erling Haaland flashing a right-footed effort just over the bar . However , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ head through Ederson and into the net . City must go again Share 23:28Simon Bajkowski City lead 1-0 and Erling Haaland has another goal . It 's more terrific work from Oscar Bobb , taking the ball past a defender before laying it back for Haaland to slide into the far post . Top work from both Norwegians and City lead 1-0 . That was a popular goal inside the stadium with everyone happy to see Haaland hit the back of the net given how popular he is here and around the world . Erling Haalaand captained Manchester City against Celtic Share 23:20Simon Bajkowski Not much to write home about in the early stages . Loftus-Cheek streams forward on the right as City wait for an offside flag that never comes . Ederson has made a couple of decent saves and also nearly set Haaland free with a long ball . A few City players are in slightly different positions than they are used to . Joe Bray @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ little deeper than Tuesday night , dropping next to Maximo Perrone , with Jack Grealish also playing deep out of possession to make a 4-3-3 formation . If this continues it will be the the most central he 's played in a while . Rico Lewis is inverting inside , with Callum Doyle covering left-back . He 's capable of playing both in the centre and left so it 's a system that should work better than the first friendly . Share 23:09Simon Bajkowski We are underway ! City take on AC Milan in their second pre-season friendly of the tour , with a few changes from the 4-3 defeat to Celtic . Perrone is in holding midfield instead of Phillips and there is a chance to see a few different youngsters start . It is a belting evening at Yankee Stadium with plenty of sunshine , so let 's see what more Guardiola and his players can do . Erling Haaland gets us started . Share 23:03Simon Bajkowski We 've had the Boys in Blue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ emerged at this magnificent venue . We 're still a few minutes away from kick-off as various pleasantries are exchanged but the players are now here . Oscar Bobb was the star of the show in the 4-3 defeat to Celtic but can somebody else steal the highlights today ? Jack Grealish models Manchester City 's new third kit Share 22:52Simon Bajkowski A bit of a quirky defence for City . Joe has been watching the team warm up and as the defence has been going through their drills it does indeed look like Rico Lewis will play left-back and Mahamadou Susoho will play right-back . It 's not ideal for Lewis , another game where he is played in a position that is n't his favourite because it suits the needs of the team . It may not be ideal for Susoho but if he can get the chance to show he can be versatile that will count in his favour going forwards . Share 22:47Joe Bray This game @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of fans have been priced out of attending . The cheapest tickets right up in the top tier started around $100 , so there 's far more supporters who would love to be here but simply ca n't afford it . The first friendly over at Chapel Hill attracted a healthy crowd of 31,000 , but in a stadium of 48,000 , there were big blocks of empty seats behind each goal . City do n't set the prices for these games , and the full house here will justify the prices , but it does feel like far too much money to be charging fans . Pep Guardiola just had a long chat with Milan boss Paolo Fonseca , with the pair chatting for a good few minutes and hugging a few times . Pep then headed back to the dressing room but then spotted Zlatan Ibrahimovic , here with Milan . Those two have history and then some , but the brief exchange was cordial and Guardiola then headed down the tunnel . Ibrahimovic is now joking around with Shaun Wright-Phillips and Joleon Lescott for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there 's a new tall , pony-tailed striker in town . Share 22:33Joe Bray There 's only three defenders on the teamsheet but the City team news graphic shows Mahamadou Susoho in the right-back position and Rico Lewis on the left . That leaves Maximo Perrone in holding midfield as Kalvin Phillips drops to the bench - could he be a wildcard option to act as a Plan B for Rodri ? As for Phillips , Guardiola said the plan was for him to play just 45 minutes vs Celtic after injury , but he also did n't play well at all . He 's out with the substitutes so does n't seem to be injured in any way . Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic should come on at some point for their first taste of action this summer . Let 's get onto Ederson then . There has been interest from the Saudi Pro Leaue all summer and Al-Nassri and then Al-Ittihad have contacted City to ask if he is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like Ederson to stay but it 's not up to him , which means the repsonsibility is on Ederson . If he really wants to leave , he has to bring an offer to City that they can accept . Ederson came out this week to deny a report that was n't even a report , it had just been horribly misquoted , but has n't yet come out to say what he wants to do . After a very long wait to get in the Yankee Stadium , we 're in place and I 'm tempted to say it 's worth the wait . It 's impressive to see how they 've fit a football pitch in here , with the first and second bases of the baseball quad taking up about a quarter of the pitch . But there 's a huge area where the pitching mound , batting area and third base are that is just empty space so most of the fans will be a fair distance from the action . Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic have just spent time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a star attraction here in the US . Neither are starting today , but they have only had two training sessions since joining up with the camp . Share 22:04KEY EVENT Pep Guardiola makes several changes from the team that started against Celtic a few days ago and it must feel like deja vu for Kalvin Phillips as he is taken out of the XI after an underwhelming performance . Mahamadou Susoho is in , a young academy midfielder , and Maximo Perrone also starts after immediately scoring in the first friendly when he came on the pitch . Ederson also starts , having only played the second half against Celtic . It has been another tumultuous few days for news on Ederson , which we can get onto , but another show of faith for him to have him straight in the XI and Ortega on the bench . Oscar Bobb uploaded pictures to his Instagram feed of Manchester City 's new third kit Share 21:45Simon Bajkowski Pulisic did not have fond memories of facing City in the 2022/23 season as City made easy work of an underperforming side . AC Milan are also in their second friendly of the pre-season and with a new coach in Paulo Fonseca so they are still getting to grips with what everybody wants . Share 21:30Simon Bajkowski City are playing at the home of the Yankees tonight , an iconic sporting stadium and one where sister club New York City FC have been playing most of their home games for almost a decade . It is going to be a warm one tonight for the players but the air is blue with City shirts . Pep Guardiola and his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Apple and it looks like they will have plenty of backing tonight . Joe writes : We 're still waiting to get into the Yankee Stadium as the sun beats down . It 's going to be a scorcher for those players out there tonight . There were loads of City shirts on the subway up to the Bronx and blue is definitely outnumbered black and red - despite the huge Italian population in New York . It 's not just current City shirts on show as well , there are plenty from down the years with former players on the back . And there are a considerable number of new third shirts which seem to have been doing a roaring trade in the last two days . Share 21:14Simon Bajkowski Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic are back training with City , joining up with them a few days ago when they landed in New York . They 're not expected to start this game after just a few sessions with the squad but could come on in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when everyone else is back , there 's a large contingent that will be in Manchester next Monday and that may or may not include the four players who played in the Euros final - Phil Foden , Kyle Walker , John Stones and Rodri . This is what Guardiola had to say about when they would be back . " As late as possible . I said to them , come back when you are fine , when you want to come back , when you have a desire to touch the ball again . " If you do n't feel it , stay at home , because it the season is so long . So what I 'll guess will be , I do n't know , before the Community Shield , a few days before , or after the Community Shield . This is the plan . We have to rest them . Premier League , UEFA , FIFA do n't think about them , so we have to do it as managers . " It was interesting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ friendly . Interesting in the sense that it would n't have been notable at all if he had n't been given the armband but the fact that he was felt significant . For all the talk of Guardiola 's exit , Haaland 's has always felt like a matter of time and Real Madrid and the like are watching and waiting on every situation . So to see Haaland captain ahead of Stefan Ortega and even ahead of Ederson was a big thing . He spoke of his pride at doing it and as he grows up he will be looking to become more of a leader . With all five of last season 's captains still on the beach , Haaland could take the captaincy again . Erling Haaland scores for Manchester City against Celtic in their 4-3 friendly defeat Share 20:33Simon Bajkowski Erling Haaland also spoke at a press conference yesterday and while it hurt him not to be able to help Norway qualify for the European Championship , the striker is extremely well rested as he looks to avoid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the physical condition that so many of his teammates and opponents may be in at the beginning of the season , it could be a real chance for Haaland to catch people cold with a hot streak of his own .

" I have been eight years at Man City and I will not be here eight more years , that is why I am closer to leave than stay , " he clarified . " But I did n't say I am leaving . Never ever .

" Share Alex James It 's matchday for City tonight as the Blues take on AC Milan in New York . The fixture is the second of City 's USA tour having suffered a 4-3 defeat to Celtic in midweek . Pep Guardiola has a largely youthful squad to choose from but Croatia pair Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic have joined up with the touring party to bolster senior numbers . Neither is expected to come into the XI , which will likely be led by Erling Haaland and Jack Grealish in terms of star names .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'create things out of nothing', where 'nothing' is not a VP[-ing] predicate and does not involve a causee or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The seemingly never-ending 2023/24 season came to a conclusion last week with Wales ' victory over the Queensland Reds , but preparations for the 2024/25 campaign are already well under way . All four of Wales ' professional sides - Cardiff , Dragons , Ospreys and Scarlets - have began pre-season , although the senior internationals will be given time off before returning . At the forefront of the coaches ' minds will be how best to speed up the development of some of Wales ' best young talent . The new Super Rygbi Cymru will surely be the starting point for most Wales age-grade players but given how thin each squad is there is likely to be a need for them to get minutes in the United Rugby Championship , especially if injury should strike . We take a look at how much game-time Wales ' best prospects are likely to see in the URC next season . Morse is only 19 but the Wales U20s backrower is already a key figure for the Ospreys and that wo n't change next @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not only hold his own but dominate at senior level , while there is also a touch of class about him as was evident when he ran in a try from near the halfway line against Cardiff at the Brewery Field on New Year 's Day . Many of this year 's Wales U20s ' contingent will play the majority of their rugby in the SRC but Morse will likely be pushing for the senior national squad by the end of the season . The 19-year-old enjoyed an outstanding World Rugby U-20 Championship and was named in the official team of the tournament . Page is a very talented footballer and is a genuine triple threat player with tremendous footwork . He is a genuine X-factor player who can create things out of nothing , while he is also a very physical player who holds his own defensively . The man from Crymych played the majority of his rugby in the centre this summer but is likely to see more action on the wing this season . Given the Scarlets are set to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Evans , he will predominately be needed on the wing . Page can play in the centre and the back-three with his versatility likely to lead to more game-time in the United Rugby Championship this coming season . The backrow is one area where the Dragons do have some genuine strength in depth with the likes of Taine Basham , Harrison Keddie , Ollie Griffiths , Dan Lydiate , Aaron Wainwright and Solomone Funaki all vying for game-time . Wales U20s captain Woodman has his work cut out getting in the team and he may see some minutes in the Super Rugby Cymru but barring injuries it would be a surprise if he did n't end the season as a regular in the Dragons ' matchday 23 . The backrower is very highly regarded within Welsh rugby circles and has a very high ceiling but he may have to bide his time somewhat at the start of the season . The explosive loosehead is another player Welsh rugby bosses are hugely excited about . Morris is a very powerful carrier who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and general physicality is very good . However , his scrummaging is a work in progress and probably is n't quite where it needs to be just yet to scrummage against the likes of the Bulls , Stormers , Leinster , Glasgow Warriors and Munster . The likelihood is the majority of his rugby next season will come in the SRC with a few cameo appearances off the bench for the Dragons . Morris is a very good prospect but there 's no need to rush him . Scarlets loosehead Morse is a very destructive scrummager and is a powerful carrier whose numbers are good in defence . But he will find it tough going to get game-time at the Scarlets next season with Wales squad member Kemsley Mathias and new signing Alec Hepburn from Exeter Chiefs in front of him in the pecking order , while Sam O'Connor is also in the mix . The Scarlets could have a future international on their hands but throwing a prop in too early can be detrimental to their development . Expect Morse to learn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a few appearances off the bench for the Scarlets but if they are hit by injuries he will be thrown in at the deep end . The 19-year-old was thrust in at the deep end for Cardiff last season starting at openside flanker against Toulouse in the Investec Champions Cup . Cardiff lost to the French giants but de la Rua gave a really good account of himself while he was also good for Wales U20s . The former Corpus Christi R.C. High School pupil is likely to see a lot of action for in the SRC given Cardiff have Thomas Young , James Botham and new signing Dan Thomas on their books . But given how thin the squad is due to the ? 4.5m salary cap de la Rua should get his fair share of game-time . The 19-year-old will figure heavily for Carmarthen Quins in the SRC next season given the Scarlets have Wales international Ryan Elias , highly rated South African hooker Marnus van der Merwe , Shaun Evans and Harri Thomas on their books @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Young jump ahead of Evans and Thomas in the pecking order by the end of the season . Young is a very abrasive personality who loves the physical confrontations on the field of play while those who have worked with him say he is a positive influence around the environment .

Philippe Clement challenged his Rangers side to show the belief that will win them silverware this season , writes Andy Newport in Berlin . The Ibrox side avoided a fourth straight pre-season loss as they played out an eight-goal thriller with Union Berlin in the German capital . But while doubles from Cyriel Dessers and Tom Lawrence at last showed Gers clicking into gear in the final third , there were further worrying signs at the back as their creaking defence was opened up four times . That will only heap place inject fear into the minds of a fanbase already reeling from the news their side will be locked out of their home stadium for at least the first month of the new season . But their bullish boss is refusing to give up hope ahead of the new campaign , which kicks off at Tynecastle next Saturday . Clement declared : " It is simple , I want to win everything and I want that mentality in my squad . I 'm not looking at it like ' Is it possible with this or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that everybody does his best and goes hard to win everything . That needs to be the mentality . We still have some things to do in the transfer market . " We go hard for that but those are the things you ca n't control , nor the ability of other teams for example . We need to focus on ourselves , as we did in the first five months we were together , to focus on ourselves and push hard with all the players available . To get the maximum out of every game and three points , that is our focus . " Clement 's team have now shipped 10 goals across the 4-4 draw and the defeats to Ajax , Manchester United and Birmingham . But the big Belgian is refusing to get himself in a preseason panic . He said : " We are , in a way , where we want to be , but I never have expectations in that way .

Like this in the next couple of months , with the players starting and coming in , making players fitter .

No , of course I want fewer goals against but for example , against Man United we had three shots on goal and they made two goals . It is not like Jack Butland played a bad game . So , you need to look a little through the stats also because against Man United we played a good defensive game and today in a lot of moments we played a good defensive game . Rangers produced a bonkers result " But we made a few @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we learn out of that . That is the story with new players and a new squad , you need to build out of something so mistakes come along the way and you need to learn and work on it . That is in every team in the world .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'take out of breaking' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it fit any of the verb classifications for the transitive out of -ing construction.

Here 's a question for you - how many obscure Olympic sports can you name ? Sports that are not mainstream and do not get the massive television coverage can sometimes be lost to viewers but yes sports such as surfing , climbing and skateboarding ( already introduced at previous Olympiads ) are part of the Olympic roster you will see at the Paris Games for 2024 . But did you know the games of the 33rd Olympiad will be giving a debut to the sport of breaking ? A style of street dance that orginated in 1970s New York , it is all part of a drive to attract new and younger audiences , where urban sports including breaking , skateboarding and BMX freestyle can be successful . Here in Gloucestershire , there is one such athlete who thrives upon the competition breaking offers with hopes to compete at the next Olympics in Los Angleses four years from now . 29-year-old Victor Jay from Cheltenham trains at Leisure at Cheltenham and has been doing breaking for about 12 years after first seeing someone spinning his body at secondary school . Gaining experience by travelling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Victor says it is a lifestyle where he has performed at venues such as the Royal Albert Hall . " There is nothing quite like this out there and it is an art form , where I 've always got to create new routines and physically you have to endure a lot of movement , Victor said . Music plays a big part and the biggest opportunity I take out of breaking is opportunity around the world and meeting other people who share that same drive for breaking . " Breaking is a new Olympic sport for Paris 2024 , and Victor Jay from Cheltenham is hoping to make the next games in 2028 ( Image : Victor Jay ) Adding new urban sports into the Olympic mix is only a good thing Victor says , because " niche sports like ours gives it an opportunity for viewers to see what we are all about , and I think it is good for our culture . I know some might think it is not a sport but if you look at how physical it is plus creativity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the floor routine in gymnastics . " The journey to make Los Angeles 2028 is one Victor is ready for where he is currently ranked fourth in the UK on the world rankings for breaking . For Paris 2024 , to get your head around the sport the first thing to know is that a male who practices the dance of breaking can be called a b-boy and for females it is b-girls . Dancers compete in one-on-one battles consisting of two 60-second throw downs with DJs spinning the music , a host on the microphone and nine judges who vote at the end of each battle to decide . The judges even use a digital slider as they watch the breaker to see who is winning the head-to-head ( i.e. if one breaker is performing better than the other , the slider moves towards their side ) . Victor Jay in action ( Image : Victor Jay/Will Luker ) For Victor , friend and coach " Bboy Veeza " has been his guiding light , where thanks to coaching he has won international titles @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been invited to is the RedBull BC One UK cypher to compete against the 15 of the best in the country , Victor said . I will give it my all and dedicate the win to a person who gave me the chance to progress as an athlete . " " Once the world sees what Breakers are able to do with their body , mind and soul they will want it back in the Olympics 2028 LA for sure " , Victor adds .

North Korea has vowed to " totally destroy " its enemies in case of war when leader Kim Jong-un gives an order , state media KCNA reported on Sunday , as the regime marked the end of hostilities in the Korean war . Senior military officials including Col Ri Un-ryong and Lt Cdr Yu Kyong-song made the comments " out of surging hatred " towards the US and South Korea at a meeting on Saturday attended by Kim , marking the 71st anniversary of the Korean war armistice , according to KCNA . North Korea and the US do not have diplomatic ties and talks over reducing tensions and denuclearising North Korea have been stalled since 2019 . North Korea 's state media recently said it does not expect that to change no matter who is next elected in the White House . Accusing the US and South Korea of " being hellbent on provoking a nuclear war " , the military officials vowed to strengthen war efficiency to stage an " overwhelming attack on the enemy anytime and without delay and totally destroy them once the respected supreme commander Kim Jong-un gives an order @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the US and China on 27 July 1953 , ending hostilities in the three-year war . US generals signed the agreement representing the UN forces that backed South Korea . North Korea calls it " victory day " while South Korea does not mark the day with any major events . Hostilities ended with a truce , not a treaty , meaning the two sides are still technically at war . On Sunday in Tokyo , the US defence secretary , Lloyd Austin , and Japan 's defence minister , Minoru Kihara , met with their South Korean counterpart , Shin Won-sik , to signed an agreement on trilateral cooperation efforts , such as real-time sharing of North Korean missile warning data and joint military exercises . Tokyo is looking to establish a new joint headquarters to oversee its armed forces and coordinate better with Washington on growing regional threats from China and North Korea . |

The sentence 'teen night helps us get out of doing the same routine every day of just going to the beach, going shopping.' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Here, 'teen night' (NP subject) + 'helps' (V1) + 'us' (NP object) + 'out of doing the same routine...' (VP2[-ing] predicate). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the teen night prevents the teens from doing the same routine every day. The NP object 'us' functions as a causee, and the construction allows for the atypical type of NP object (reflexive or possessive pronoun) as seen in the examples provided.

BRADFORD Bulls , missing 10 players who are either injured or suspended , led 6-4 at half-time at the DCBL Stadium , but could create little in the second half in falling to a 25-6 defeat yesterday . Max Lehmann got the Bulls try , which Jordan Lilley converted superbly , but once Widnes Vikings got a head of steam up in the second half , the visitors could not counter-act their momentum . Left winger Ryan Ince , who got Widnes on the board in the first half , completed his hat-trick in the second half to be named their man of the match , and late tries were added by right winger Mike Butt and loose forward Max Roberts , with influential scrum half Tom Gilmore adding two goals and a drop goal . Only one of the Bulls players who have recently been injured made it as far as their 17 , and that was Dan Okoro , who started on the bench . Missing injured are Lee Gaskell , Chester Butler , Michael Lawrence , Dan Smith , Billy Jowitt and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ visa clearance , and out due to suspension are Jorge Taufua ( missing his second game of three ) , Ebon Scurr ( missing his second game of two ) and Eribe Doro ( missing his first game of two ) The key questions before kick-off was how disruptive to the Bulls were all those that were missing and would a youthful bench will be able to cope with Widnes ' physicality when they took to the pitch ? There was nothing to choose between the teams early doors as the game was largely played in midfield The first penalty went to the Bulls as hooker Jordan Johnstone was too aggressive in challenging for a loose ball inside the Bulls 20 , but Widnes soon won a penalty of their own as Joe Lyons was high tackled running out of defence after smartly seizing on a grubber kick . But the Widnes defence was up to snuff in the opening 10 minutes . However , they were starting to be penned in their own half , and the visitors broke the deadlock with a try by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a quick pass by centre Jayden Myers , who later went off for a head injury assessment . Lilley nailed the kick from near the right-hand touchline to extend the Bulls advantage to 6-0 , but Widnes were always a threat via scrum half Tom Gilmore , and he almost created something out of nothing . Firstly he collected his own chip ahead on the bounce and then kicked ahead under pressure , with the ball rolling dead just in front of advancing centre Jack Owens , who was making his 250th career appearance . However , the half-back then created a try with a long pass to the left which gave winger Ince the chance to gather and dive over , leaving Bulls 6-4 to the good , although the then hosts blew a big chance just before the interval when Butt fumbled the ball near the touchline when if he had caught it it looked to be a certain score . After half-time , Harvey Makin fumbled just inside the Widnes half , but the Bulls survived by pushing a Widnes player into touch @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crowd were trying to get behind the Vikings and it paid off as the Bulls were caught out via their right-hand defence as a flat pass gave Ince his second try in the 54th minute , with the visiting defence drawn slightly infield . Gilmore hooked the conversion attempt , but Widnes still led 8-6 . Full back Tom Holmes puts the Bulls under further pressure by getting too far ahead of an up and under and knocking on , giving Widnes head and feed 15 metres out , and they made it count when Ince went over for his hat-trick to make it 12-6 just inside the hour . This time Gilmore over compensated and put the kick too far the other side of the posts Momentum was firmly with the Vikings now as John Davies erred just inside the Widnes half . The Bulls were in need of inspiration , but things only got worse as Butt went over on the right to make it 16-6 , and Gilmore nailed the difficult kick , which just had the legs to go over . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ salvage something , but little seemed to be going right for them in the second half , and Gilmore sealed the deal with a drop goal to extend Widnes ' advantage to three scores at 19-6 Then the home side won a penalty for one last attack and they made it pay with a short pass putting in Roberts by the posts . The hooter sounded and Gilmore nailed by far his easiest conversion to make final score 25-6 .

Key reasons why you might NOT get the full state pension from the Department for Work and Pensions ( DWP ) have been revealed -- from childcare responsibilities to contracting out . The State Pension is a regular payment from the government most people can claim when they reach State Pension age . Your State Pension age depends on when you were born . You can find out your State Pension age by using the calculator on the GOV.UK website . The amount of State Pension you 'll get depends on how many ' qualifying ' years of National Insurance payments you have . This includes National Insurance contributions that you pay when you are working and contributions that are credited to you when you are unable to work . The state pension jumped by 8.5% this April , in line with average earnings growth between May and July last year , and the second biggest rise on record . Those qualifying for a full new state pension now receive ? 221.20 a week ( up from ? 203.85 ) . And those who reached @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ older basic State Pension , now receive ? 169.50 -- up from ? 156.20 . To receive the full new state pension , you need 35 qualifying years of National Insurance contributions or credits . You need 30 qualifying years to qualify for the basic state pension ( for those who reached the state pension age before April 6 , 2016 ) . If you have gaps in your National Insurance record due to periods of unemployment , living abroad , or not paying NICs for other reasons , these can affect your entitlement . If you work and earn above the Primary Threshold - currently ? 242 a week - then you automatically start paying National Insurance and build qualifying years towards your state pension . But , if you earn above the Lower Earnings Limit ( LEL ) - currently ? 123 per week - you would not pay NI and therefore would n't get a credit . If you earned under the limit for an extended period of time then you may have holes in your record from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ worked part year , then you could also be at risk of not qualifying . A " part year " means you had a gap between ending one job and starting another , or if you took six months off for any reason . The amount of State Pension you get depends on your National Insurance record . Your National Insurance record includes National Insurance contributions that you pay when you are working and contributions that are credited to you when you are unable to work . For example , you can get National Insurance credits when you 're claiming Employment and Support Allowance or Jobseeker 's Allowance , or if you have caring responsibilities . Your record can also include voluntary contributions that you choose to pay to cover gaps when you are not working or getting credits . You may have taken time out to look after children . If you opted out of receiving child benefits , then you could have gaps . When you reach State Pension age , you can claim a State Pension if you 've paid or been credited @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ What you get depends on how many ' qualifying years ' of National Insurance contributions you have . Each tax year ( 6 April to 5 April ) that you pay or are credited with National Insurance contributions counts as a qualifying year , provided you earn or are credited with earnings of at least a minimum amount . This amount changes every year . If you were unemployed for any period during your working life you may have gaps in your record too . If you do n't have enough qualifying years to get a full State Pension , you may be able to make up gaps in your National Insurance contribution record by paying voluntary contributions . There is a time limit for doing this . You can find out more about voluntary contributions and the time limits for paying them on GOV.UK . If you were self-employed for any period during your working life you may have gaps in your record too . You may have been contracted out of the state second pension ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on top of your basic state pension . In exchange for giving up all or part of S2P you made lower NI contributions and received an extra boost to your workplace or personal pension instead . Contracting out has since been abolished . You can choose to keep on working , whether paid or on a voluntary basis , while claiming your State Pension . Any money you earn will not affect your State Pension , but it may affect your entitlement to other benefits such as Pension Credit , Housing Benefit and Council Tax Reduction . You can claim the new State Pension overseas in most countries . Your State Pension will increase each year but only if you live in : the EEA Gibraltar Switzerland certain countries that have a social security agreement with the UK Your new State Pension may be affected if your circumstances change .

He 's made a career out of scaling buildings , jumping off motorbikes , and clinging onto helicopters , all while looking remarkably chill about it . And it turns out he can do that while watching hardcore sports , too . TC , like every second famous guy on the planet , is currently in Paris to catch some of the Olympics , which kicked off over the weekend . He was spotted yesterday watching USA champ Simone Biles tear up the gymnastics event , wearing a typical slick fit including some dark-wash denim jeans , a pair of leather lace-up boots and a white polo shirt .

It 's summer on the rocks in Marseille . It 's , dare we say , a bit sexy -- and it all comes down to that open knit . Usually when we see polos , that super fine , close knit can threaten to veer them into corporate territory . If you zoom in to Orlebar Brown 's version , you can see the weave is so open it almost emulates a mesh , pin-pricks of skin peeking through .

Nowadays , you ca n't skim an Apple AirBook across a central London business area without hitting at least four guys in polos .

" During a GB News broadcast , the 64-year-old opened up about his friends and the possibility of him stripping off to go swimming in his birthday suit . But Ruth Langsford 's ex-husband also revealed he 's often asked to join in . Eamonn , who recently confirmed his split from Ruth Langsford said : " I know lots of women in their 40s or whatever , who would be like ' Where are you going tonight ?

Might cause a tsunami somewhere , so I thought maybe not . " It comes after a rise in people heading out into open water following the rising temperatures , as well as a discussion about the risk of swimming in wild water and drowning . Earlier in the day , Eamonn was mocked by Costello for his voice of footwear , Crocs , which he claimed offered him " good suspension in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bin them . Meanwhile , the broadcaster recently opened up about one major issue during his divorce from Ruth -- who will get their beloved dog , Maggie ?

The 14-year-old dog had undergone a procedure at the vet to remove a growth , prompting Ruth to share a video earlier this month of Maggie with a shaved back after the operation . Alongside the clips , Ruth wrote in the caption : " Maggie had a little wart removed this morning under sedation so she 's feeling a bit sorry for herself this afternoon ! Lots of TLC from Mummy required . " She added : " Thank you St George 's Veterinary Centre for looking after our precious girl . " Taking to Instagram today 22 days later with a photo of himself cuddling Maggie , Eamonn wrote : " A lot of you wondering about Maggie . She 's had an op to remove a growth .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate that would induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a cyclical trend in popularity without involving causation or prevention.

Each week in Breakout , we talk to the emerging stars blowing up right now -- whether it be a huge viral moment , killer new track or an eye-popping video -- these are the rising artists certain to dominate the near future " I 'm not walking around saying I 'm a lesbian , " CATTY quips over Zoom from her witch-inspired bedroom decorated with posters and crystals . " Actually , I am doing that . I love being a lesbian , I 'm very proud of it . " It 's a hot summer afternoon and the Welsh singer-songwriter is excitedly chatting away about her upcoming pop-rock EP , which draws on her Welsh background and queer-coded storytelling . " Most of the time I 'm just talking about my life , " she explains . " I 'm just talking about my experiences in the same way that any straight girlie would tell me about their boyfriend . " Credit : Press A lot has changed for CATTY in the last three months : she 's booked a festival slot opening for Stevie Nicks , kicked off a headline show @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Of Spite ' which has earned over half a million streams . The playful twang of her lyrics draws on the rock heritage of her favourite acts , like Fleetwood Mac and AC/DC , as she navigates break ups and fall outs in her cathartic , full-throttle comeback anthems . At first glance , CATTY 's dark sound is all guitar riffs , black eyeliner and mean pop beats , but there 's a raw rock attitude steering her discography . The 23-year old wants to make it big , no matter the cost . " It feels like my entire life has changed , which is overwhelming , but also it feels exciting , " she smiles with self-assuredness . She 's quickly ticking off the newcomer milestones : a monster gig at Heaven with close friends and musicians Beth McCarthy and Nxdia , a dream slot at Hyde Park and , now an intimate date at London 's Lafayette on November 4 : a venue that serves as a newcomer rite of passage . " This entire EP is me saying that I do n't have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ career continues to ascend , she 's keeping her head clear and ambitions focused . It 's this do-or-die grit , she admits , that has gotten her this far . " I 've been making the music that I wanted for about two years now , but I could n't afford to put it out , " she says . " I 'm so proud that I 'm a waitress because it 's how I get my music out . We sold out a headline show , we got the Stevie Nicks gig and I 've been on tour . But , also , my music is the same as it was two years ago . I 'm still a waitress so it 's such a weird moment in my life -- a wonderful one , but a very weird one . " Beaming with excitement for what comes next , the musician tells NME about her Stevie Nicks roots , why she loves Chappell Roan and why she will always consider herself a pop writer . You 've achieved a major milestone of playing BST Hyde @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ around ? " Stevie Nicks is so rooted in what music is for me . I have grown up with her . She 's literally been the soundtrack to every big moment of my life . When I saw that she was in Hyde Park , I literally had to do this . Like I have to do it . Credit : Press " My first song was called ' Bella Donna ' , which is named after one of her albums . I do n't have a label , I do n't have a booking agent . I did n't really have anybody that could get it for me . I called my manager who 's my best friend and he was like : ' This is a big reach ' . We emailed everybody that we could and no one replied and then I found the booking agent on Instagram . " I sent her a voice note about why I really think it should be me . I literally sold myself like a dog . I was like , ' " I was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I 'm a little bit scared of pigeons , but I do n't think there 'll be a problem . ' " She was so kind about it and that 's how I got it . " What was your first memorable connection to music ? " I went on holiday with my parents when I was younger when I was 12 or 13 and we went to a karaoke bar . I feel like my parents just wanted a night out but we went to the karaoke bar and they 'd never heard me sing . So my mum let me do it and as soon as I started singing , I was like : ' I love this so much ' . Everybody in the bar was so nice to me and it was the first time that I felt like I could do something . Ever since then , I 've just wanted to be on stage . " How did growing up in rural Wales shape you as an artist ? " All I remember from my childhood , especially in primary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was such a huge part of my current project . Everything to me needs to feel witchy and otherworldly . Credit : Press " I grew up queer in a small town which is famously not ideal for anyone . So , as soon as I discovered that about myself , I needed to get out , which is a real shame because when I go back to Wales now , it 's so accepting . Even the Welsh channel S4C and Welsh radio do so much for queer people , the conversation is always really active . But eight years ago , when that was happening to me , I needed to get out and be in a big city . " You 're part of a new wave of pop rock stars reminiscent of Olivia Rodrigo to YUNGBLUD . What made you gravitate towards that style ? " That 's such an interesting question . In the last couple of years , pop rock has become so popular and it 'll come in and out of being cool . I 'm always going to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but the music that is ingrained into my soul is rock music . Everything I used to listen to is classic rock like Fleetwood Mac and AC/DC -- that 's the only thing that I know , which is always going to be a part of me . I think , actually , I 'm just a dad ! It seeps into my lesbianism quite a lot as well , I dress like a dad too . " Your lyricism is relatable and built around precise , catchy hooks . What goes into the songwriting and production of a song ? " I 've been saying this for a long time , but I feel like I just do silly things in my personal life and then I 've got to write it -- I 've got to put it somewhere . I write all the time and I 've had a weird year in my personal life , so it just poured out of me . Credit : Press " With this EP , it was super inspired by a line in ' Silver Springs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it is a problem ! There 's a line where they say : ' I will follow you down til the sound of my voice will haunt you ' . I had such a huge piece of rage that I had n't explored because I always tried to be so calm but I had this uncovered rage that I needed to get it off . This entire EP is me saying that I do n't have to die to haunt you . " Who are the queer icons that have inspired you ? " In terms of music , I am obviously so inspired by Chappell Roan -- I 'm absolutely obsessed with her . I think she 's so incredible . In terms of queer icons I 'm going to have to say my friends . There 's that Lady Gaga quote that says ' every diva has a gay man behind her ' but so many of my friends are gay men . I would say those are the gay icons in my life . " What would CATTY 's star sign be as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ question ... definitely a Leo , 100 per cent . My moon sign is Libra and I would say that I 'm so much more associated to that . I 'm so balanced . I try to be so calm , nothing really fazes me . I do n't really know what 's going on most of the time , but when it comes to it , I 'm so serious . " |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of nothing' is not a VP[-ing] predicate, and the sentence lacks the necessary components to be considered an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Police were called to a popular car boot sale in Devon last weekend after a row broke out between staff and a seller . A Plymouth mum claims that a row erupted last Sunday , July 28 , at Exeter Racecourse because she was refused entry to retrieve her four-month-old son 's bottle of milk unless she paid ? 8 . The owner of the company that runs the weekly event disputes all her claims and said that a member of staff would have collected the milk on her behalf if they had been aware of the situation . Police have confirmed they attended a report of a " woman causing a nuisance " and no arrests were made . The 26-year-old mum , who asked not to be named , says the situation arose after she and her partner arrived at the car boot sale in separate cars . She said that her partner arrived alone with their items to sell in his car and paid the ? 8 seller fee entry . Shortly afterwards she said she arrived in a separate car at around 10am with her mum who she brought along to help @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ got to the gate she alleged they were told they would have to pay ? 8 each to be allowed entry into the site before it opened to sellers at 1pm . The mum said they parked up after deciding to wait until the sale began but then her baby started crying for a feed and she realised her partner had the baby 's milk . The mum said : " I asked if I could simply go on to get my baby 's milk from dad , as he is teething and was in hysterical tears , but I was again told , I would have to pay ? 8 . A seller offered to grab the milk for me but the supervisor 's son said to her , ' no , do nt do that ' . A member of staff next to her and the buyers walking by could verify the denial of her being allowed to help . " I proceeded to ask if I could speak to the owner and said it was disgusting behaviour . I waited half an hour before approaching @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ asked for the owner 's number so I could contact him . " A heated verbal exchange ensued where again , no threats , swearing or shouting occurred , resulting in myself being asked to leave the premises . I said that was utterly ridiculous and started walking away . I then heard the son asking for police and therefore was recommended to wait for their arrival . " I did so , and explained the situation to the police and apologised for the waste of police time , but heard the supervisor stating that I threatened all her staff . The police took no action and I was told I could stay and wait to enter at 1pm but was still refused to get my son his milk . " My partner could not come out with the milk because he could n't leave our stall unattended as we had some expensive items . " The mum says she paid ? 2 to get into the car boot sale when it opened and was able to retrieve the milk and stayed for the duration of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ police had to leave , due to another call , I was not approached for a resolution regarding the milk , by anyone . By the time the police had gone , there was only one hour until I was allowed in so I chose to wait , as I unfortunately could not afford to spend ? 16 in total for myself and partner to get in . " ? 8 is a lot of money for us and can be better spent on nappies , food , fuel etc . I never apologised to any of the staff and actually , one member of staff stated they did n't want an apology , in front of multiple witnesses . " The supervisor said to me my attitude was disgusting but I explained I was frustrated and never once did I shout or threaten anyone . I admit to shouting once , but that was due to the distance between myself and the male , who was also shouting . " I know there are rules but they 're not laws and a little compassion is all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , are actually due to go on an all expenses paid trip , by my place of work , following my performance , consistent positive statistics and surveys from customers , expressing my kindness and patience . " John Redmond-Day , who owns the car boot business which has been running for more than 40 years , said all sellers are charged ? 8 per car and not by how many people are in it . He said : " Her claims are utter rubbish . She is making a big thing out of nothing after coming in separate cars . We have got our own rules and regulations and they have always been successful . You always get the odd one wanting to change the rules . " He added : " You have to get a ticket to get in and when you drive in you ask for a ticket . " Mr Redmond-Day denied staff refused to get her baby 's milk and said : " She used her baby as a shield ; by that I mean as an excuse . The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ site but we said if she apologised to all the staff for the names she called them she can stay and she did . " There were lots of witnesses and everyone knows the rules up there . Someone would have helped her get the milk . " It was not us who called the police . A member of the public did as she was swearing and shouting in front of children . It 's a family day out so we ca n't have that kind of situation . It does not look good for us or the booters . " A Devon and Cornwall spokesperson said : " Police were called to Exeter Racecourse at around 11.05am on Sunday , July 28 , following a report of a woman causing a nuisance . Officers attended the scene and the matter was resolved . Story Saved You can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it describes a career made 'out of travelling nationwide...', which is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of' and does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate with a causee object. There is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

A notorious shoplifter amassed over ? 500,000 by duping stores into giving refunds for items she had stolen . Narinder Kaur , also known as Nina Tiara , 53 , has now been found guilty of multiple counts of fraud and other offences across the country , including in Devon , involving a host of major retailers . Following a four-month trial at Gloucester Crown Court , Tiara was convicted on all 26 counts , which included fraud , possession and transfer of criminal property , and perverting the course of justice . The serial shoplifter , from Cleverton , Wiltshire , made a full-time career out of travelling nationwide , stealing items from high street stores , and dishonestly claiming refunds on those items , sometimes repeatedly , to which she had no entitlement . The prosecution successfully demonstrated that Ms Kaur defrauded various retailers over a thousand times between July 2015 and February 2019 , reports Birmingham Live .

She also instructed several solicitor 's firms to sue her brother and arranged for an accomplice to make payments in the thousands of pounds using stolen card details , which she then asked the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CPS ) She further deceived the court by producing false documents to avoid being convicted of speeding offences and to relax her bail conditions . During two police searches of her home , around ? 150,000 in cash was found hidden away , along with stolen goods . The CPS was able to prove the case using financial data , retail records , witness evidence and CCTV footage , which demonstrated Kaur 's pattern of offending . She was seen on CCTV entering stores , taking items from the shelves and taking them to the tills as if they had been previously purchased . Close examination of her accounts confirmed the pattern of purchases and refunds and that the same process seen . The CCTV footage showed her crime being repeated hundreds of times . The final part of her offence was to lie during court proceedings , in an attempt to mislead the court and influence the outcome . Each lie she told in court was gradually exposed and disproven , revealing her perversion of justice . Giovanni D'Alessandro of the CPS said : " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . It was a very lucrative full-time job which evidently made her over half a million pounds during this period of offending . " She went to extraordinary lengths to carry out her deceptions , finding ways to defraud a retailer and then travelling across the country to replicate the fraud . She also legally changed her name and opened new bank accounts and credit cards under a second identity to avoid detection . " She now rightly faces a significant sentence for her crimes and the prosecution will seek to recoup as much of her ill-gotten gains as the law permits .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'takes the enjoyment out of driving' involves an NP ('the enjoyment') as a complement of the complex preposition 'out of', and 'driving' is a gerund modifying the noun 'enjoyment', not a VP[-ing] predicate.

A Plymouth taxi driver says a proposed 20mph zone in Stoke and Stonehouse , is too restrictive and a similar scheme in Laira has become a " nightmare " for professional drivers . Jason Shopland , whose petition against the proposal has already attracted more than 1,300 signatures , stressed he is in favour of road safety but thinks other options need to be looked at by the council . He said : " I think they need to put more thought into it . " Mr Shopland even agreed to take PlymouthLive 's agenda editor William Telford on a drive through the proposed zone ( see video ) to show why he thinks enforcement by average speed cameras at 20mph is not necessary . Mr Shopland lives in PL5 but works in the Stoke and Stonehouse area and his business mostly involves long-distance taxi driving . His hire car has a limiter on it which meant he was unable to go above 20mph during the drive around the proposed zone in south Stoke and north Stonehouse . He said that many of the side streets in the 98-street area are already impossible to drive in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He said that on main roads such as Molesworth Road and Valletort Road it would be better to enforce a 30mph speed limit . He said Eldad Hill , at the centre of the proposed zone , could be reduced to 20mph during the day and revert to 30mph at night . He said : " We want to see people safe , however it feels like we are being restricted from being able to drive sensibly . I drive for 10 hours a day , and not at 35mph to 40mph , because you ca n't . " We all want to get on with life . It 's about finding a medium . Restricting people everywhere is sad and takes the enjoyment out of driving . " He said : " I was surprised by the petition . I thought it would get 250 to 300 names , max , but the amount of people surprised me . Every time I check it more people are adding their names . " The only thing I would change is I called it a ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ times ) , but people are mixing that up with Cllr Evans , so I would change that if I could . " This week , Moor View MP Fred Thomas said he had received assurances from council transport chief Cllr Mark Coker that there are no plans to create a blanket 20mph restriction for Plymouth . Mr Shopland , however , was sceptical and said : " If it happens in this area , then give it four years and it will happen somewhere else . " He said the Old Laira Road 20mph zone , set up in 2022 , had turned into a " taxi drivers ' nightmare " . He knows someone who was ticketed driving at 24mph through the narrows and said motorists are at risk of picking up points on their licence for " not doing too much wrong " . " Everyone thinks it 's OK to do 25mph in a 20mph zone , but it is not , " he said . " But you can understand how people can drive into it at 28mph .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Additionally, it does not give rise to either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'kicked out of governing its sport' suggests removal from a position rather than the semantic roles required by the construction.

JK Rowling : ' What will it take to end this insanity ? A female boxer left with life-altering injuries ? A female boxer killed ? ' Jake Paul , honorary boxing coach for Team USA : ' This is sickening . This is a travesty . Does n't matter what you believe . This is wrong and dangerous . ' Carini , a 25-year-old welterweight , was put in the ring against Khelif , a 25-year-old amateur boxer who , according to tests by the International Boxing Association , has XY ( male ) chromosomes . This would suggest Khelif was born intersex . That female boxer , Italy 's Angela Carini ( pictured ) , took a brutal blow to her nose before ripping off her helmet and ending the match after just 46 seconds . Khelif ' identifies ' as female -- yet was blocked by the IBA from competing against biological women in the world championships last year . But the IBA was then kicked out of governing its sport by the International Olympic Committee . And the IOC , in turn , cleared Khelif to fight Carini , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Khelif met their ' criteria ' . ' Federations need to make the rules to make sure that there is fairness , ' IOC spokesman Mark Adams said this week , ' but at the same time with the ability for everyone to take part who wants to . That 's a difficult balance . ' How 's that for generic , boilerplate BS ? We 're in an incredibly dangerous realm now . This is n't a male-bodied athlete competing against women in non-contact sports such as swimming or cycling . Boxing is a violent , bloody pursuit that has seen athletes killed in the ring . Even the great Muhammad Ali was ultimately felled by Parkinson 's , likely caused by too many blows . There 's a reason boxers are classified by weight : 17 classes for men and women . Ross Tucker , a sports science professor , told the Mail that this was the equivalent of putting a 200lbs fighter up against someone who weighs 130lbs . ' That 's more or less what the difference is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ boxers ' , he said . ' You ca n't sanction an advantage that can create harm and say , ' women must accept that ' . ' I , I , I. Not a thought for Carini , struggling to hold her battered head high while suffering a global , thoroughly unnecessary humiliation . Her hard work , her sacrifices , the chance to realize a lifelong dream , all demolished in 46 seconds . Yet Khelif gloats . Incredibly , as of this writing , the IOC is allowing this disgrace of an athlete to fight another biological female on Saturday . Just when you think it ca n't get worse : Olympic officials now say Khelif is the real victim here , suffering ' abuse ' and ' discrimination ' . What an utter disgrace the IOC is . They have failed every single female athlete , every single female coach and fan , every girl currently training to someday make her mark . Who among the IOC will stand up to this contemptuousness ? Or will another female athlete @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , for sanity to prevail ? |

When you purchase through links on our site , we may earn an affiliate commission . Here 's how it works . ( Image credit : Slavic Magic ) Once upon a time , the town of Eichenhau 's biggest problem was soil quality . There was no shortage of food -- nearby woods teemed with berries and wildlife -- but still , underwhelming wheat harvests made bread a commodity . As the seat of my second-ever campaign in city-building sim Manor Lords , I thought it would be an issue resolved through time and slow but steady expansion into more fertile lands . I was , to put it bluntly , naive . Now , Eichenhau is nothing but ashes . Even if a loaf of bread survived the fires , there would be nobody left to scoff it down . At the time , the town 's fiery demise felt sudden and brutal . In hindsight , though , I suspect it was doomed from the start . Fresh off this success , I dived straight into building another town in Restoring the Peace , which introduces bandits and rival lords to contend with . I was keen for the addition of combat : I did n't have much use for things like iron -- which is mostly used to create weapons and armor -- in Rise to Prosperity , and wanted to get the full Manor Lords experience . To be completely honest , I also just wanted to turn my villagers into a well-armed fighting force . In Europa Universalis 4 , I loved playing the English and bouncing my mega-fleet around the sea , preying on ships like crown-sanctioned pirates . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Civilization 4 , and ca n't remember the last time I passed a turn in Total War : Warhammer 3 without wiping out some form of sentient life . If you put me in charge of something , whether it 's a globe-spanning empire or my local bakery , I will find a way to militarize it . In Manor Lords , though , this is tougher than it sounds . You need to equip each household with gear to draft them into your militia -- archers need bows in their home , for example , while swordsmen need ... well , swords . But in the name of baby steps , I prioritize keeping my villagers well-fed and happy before even thinking about revving up the war machine . My first red flag is a small notification , which tells me bandits have made off with some of the town 's meat . No problem ! I can see that their camp is miles away , and assume that this is a one-off . But then my berries are pinched . So is the village 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ raiders are going to attack my village in a year . That 's the last straw , and any thoughts of keeping my villagers stuffed and content go out of the window . Mines go up through Eichenhau 's once-idyllic forest , while a household of nearby farmers are relocated to work in the new smithy . I even open smaller blacksmithing stations in several families ' gardens , dashing their dreams of growing veg or raising chickens . ( Image credit : Slavic Magic ) Unfortunately , getting all of this running is a logistical nightmare . I ca n't quite turn my metal into weapons quickly enough , and the family I 've got making bows keep running out of planks . By the year 's end , I can muster a few half-strength units of archers and pikemen -- just in time , as they rally in front of the town church just as scores of club-wielding raiders trudge into view . Despite being peppered by arrows , the bandits reach my thin line of pikemen -- most of them artisans and farmers until a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bloody battle , while another group kills the archers . At this point , the attackers have just 12 men left , but I can only rally another six pikemen and two archers . The survivors clash in thick woodland behind the village , and miraculously , we emerge victorious with a lone pikeman left standing .

I wish I could say it ended there . Unfortunately , a much larger force of bandits attacks not too long after -- this time without the polite 364-day notice our last guests gave . Still struggling from logistic issues , made worse because Eichenhau 's population has been decimated , the mustered defense is pathetic . They crumble under waves of brigands who sweep through the streets like a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the torch . After pouring hours of work into the town , all I can do is watch as it burns . It feels like a group of older boys have kicked my sandcastle down , and it 's made me realize that Manor Lords is the only game where I prefer to give peace a chance .

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

Taylor Swift has five more shows to play in the UK , to wrap up the European leg of her Eras tour ( Image : Thomas **25;2921;TOOLONG Images ) With Taylor Swift set to return to the UK in just a Fortnight , fans are flocking to resale sites on a daily basis to try and get their hands on tickets for one of her final UK Eras tour shows . But many are also likely wondering whether they can really trust sites like viagogo . Sites such as viagogo and VividSeats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans . However , it is important to note that many event promoters say tickets should not be resold after initial purchase and will not be valid for admittance to gigs . Fans attending live events with tickets acquired through resale websites are advised to double check the ticket terms and conditions at the point of sale - such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation - to ensure a smooth live event experience . Tickets could be voided if they were found to be bought second-hand . As a result , fans are buying at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ commented : " viagogo is a regulated marketplace where fans have the guarantee . " viagogo has previously faced legal troubles in the UK , with the Competition and Markets Authority ( CMA ) securing a court order back in 2018 that obliged the secondary ticketing site to make changes to its business practices and the way it operated its UK website . In early 2019 , the CMA was even preparing to take legal action against the resale site for contempt of court , after it did not act on the court order in a timely manner . However , viagogo then responded by committing to make further improvements to its website - and now offers a 100 per cent guarantee designed to protect buyers from scams to ensure that fans get in the door or get their money back . But what is the experience of buying from viagogo really like - and should Swifties part with hundreds of pounds of their money for a chance to attend the Eras tour ? And fans are flocking to resale sites like viagogo every day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the show ( Image : Gabby Jones/Bloomberg/Getty Images ) Laura McKenna , consumer writer for the Express , took the plunge a few years ago , after she was faced with the prospect of attending a Foo Fighters gig alone . Laura and some friends had managed to snap up tickets for the show in June 2018 through Ticketmaster when they first went on sale - leaving her feeling like " the kid at sports day who won all the prizes " . However , when her two friends later dropped out of attending the sold-out concert , and sold on their tickets , Laura became anxious about attending by herself - and determined to get a group together and try and bag some resale tickets so that she had fellow fans to go with . Writing for the Express , Laura shared : " Panicking at the lack of availability on Ticketmaster , I turned to viagogo , with the less-than-positive reviews I 'd seen online ringing in my ears . " Fuelled by adrenaline and that " whatever it costs " attitude that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aside and went for it . To my eternal surprise and unwavering relief , the experience was easy , timely and , most importantly , definitely not a scam . " She continued : " It 's super easy to navigate the site , I simply popped Foo Fighters into the search box and selected the London date I needed . I was prompted to select how many I needed and opted for three tickets seated together ( although for standing tickets that was n't necessary . ) " In the blink of an eye , a list of available tickets appeared and I selected three for the standing zone that cost less per ticket than I had paid for mine . Purchased and paid for , I received a confirmation email from viagogo in an instant . " Breathing a sigh of relief and buoyed on by the fact that I would be there on the night to lose my dignity in a middle-aged fan-girl frenzy , the initial feeling of euphoria slowly turned into a dull sinking feeling in my gut as the tickets took @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But they did , and they were perfect . While thrashing about drinking overpriced beer I was just delighted to be there , and that viagogo had come up trumps . " If you are willing to take the plunge with viagogo , Taylor Swift returns to Wembley Stadium in just two weeks ' time ( Image : Vuk Valcic/SOPA Images/Getty Images ) However , Laura also warned that those hunting for tickets do not have to search far to come across a number of poor reviews from buyers who had a far less positive experience with viagogo - and while most tickets from the site are legitimate , there is always a risk of encountering fraudulent sellers . If you 're willing to take the plunge , to attend one of Swift 's five remaining shows at London 's Wembley Stadium , prices start from ? 680 on viagogo , at the time of writing , for an upper-tier seat with a view directly onto the stage , at the Eras tour show on August 17 .

Elsewhere , on VividSeats , tickets are also selling quickly , with less than 100 left for each of the shows on August 15 , 19 , and 20 . The cheapest tickets currently available from VividSeats will set you back ? 1,010 for an upper-tier seat with a view of the stage at the first show back at Wembley on August 15 . Or , for standing tickets , expect to pay at least ? 1,225 for general admission standing , or a minimum of ? 1,210 for front standing ( both of which apply to the August 17 show ) . Taylor Swift will return to Wembley Stadium in London on August 15 , 16 , 17 , 19 , and 20 - and it is sure to be an Enchanted night that fans will remember All Too Well .

Council chiefs are still working to reopen mothballed buildings at two Stoke-on-Trent parks - just as a visitor centre at another city beauty spot is set to close . Staffordshire Wildlife Trust ( SWT ) announced earlier this month that it would be pulling out of running the visitor centre and cafe at Westport Lake at the end of September , as it could not operate the site profitably . Stoke-on-Trent City Council , which owns the Westport Lake centre , has said it will launch a tender to find a new operator for the building . But two other council-owned park buildings have yet to reopen after closing their doors last year . The council says it is currently negotiating with a potential new tenant at Haney Park 's pavilion , but legal issues are still holding up the marketing of the visitor centre at Park Hall Country Park . Hanley Park 's pavilion cafe closed in February 2023 , three years after it opened as part of a ? 4.5 million Lottery-funded restoration of the park , after operator Caterleisure pulled out of the venue . Park Hall Country Park 's visitor centre @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ previous building was destroyed in an arson attack a decade earlier in 2011 . While its intended operator , SWT , took on a temporary licence for the centre and hosted several events during 2022 and 2023 , it eventually decided against pursuing a long-term lease , blaming the ' unreliable and intermitant ' access to the building it had experienced . Councillor Amjid Wazir , cabinet member for city pride , enforcement and sustainability , said : " We are committed to keeping caf ? s and facilities open for visitors who wish to enjoy the beautiful parks we have across the city . To ensure we get the appropriate trader for the locations , we have to ensure tenancy agreements and legalities are all drawn up correctly .

He said : " Friends of Hanley Park are keen to see a new operator move into the pavilion and for the park to get the caf ? provision our community deserves . " We would encourage any operator to take the time to properly understand and listen to the community in Shelton and the wider city , and to take account of the way the park is actually used - it 's often much busier later in the day , and the visitor profile is very diverse .

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex spent the early months of their life together in the UK in Nottingham Cottage , one of the smallest properties on the Kensington Palace estate . The two-bedroom , one-bathroom home paled in comparison to Kate and William 's spacious 20-room Apartment 1A , formerly the home of Princess Margaret . In his new biography of the Princess of Wales , author Robert Jobson claimed : " It is understood that when Meghan and Harry had gone round to have drinks at William and Catherine 's apartment , while they were still living at Nottingham Cottage opposite , Meghan had been ' taken aback ' at the disparity between the brothers .

An insider claimed to The Daily Beast that Prince Harry pins the lack of enhanced police protection squarely on King Charles , stating : " If the king wanted , he could do this for his son . " Yet , sources from Buckingham Palace have countered to the publication , asserting it would be entirely out of order for King Charles to interfere with the government committee , known as the Royal and VIP Executive Committee ( RAVEC ) , responsible for Royal security decisions . The Royal couple 's itinerary is rumoured to include the bustling city of Bogota and scenic spots in the Caribbean and Pacific , such as Cartagena and Cali .

In the interview snippet with host Jane Pauley , the pair emphasise the need for parents to shield children from online harm .

" Despite warnings from both the UK and US governments advising tourists to " reconsider " travel due to terrorism and kidnapping risks , the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to embark on their journey later this year . This comes as a surprise given Harry 's previous assertions that he considers the UK too perilous for family visits . Over the past four years , Harry has been contesting the UK government 's decision to withdraw their 24/7 police protection .

The animosity between the Sussexes and the Republican candidate ex-President Donald Trump is enormous . Meghan avoided Trump on his state visit to Britain . She has called him " divisive " and a " misogynist " . Meghan Markle would still hold a royal title even if she were to lose the Duchess of Sussex style but that could baffle some people , a royal commentator has claimed .

In December 2019 , just weeks before Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down as working royals , a picture of the late Queen Elizabeth with her heirs , then-Prince Charles , William and Prince George , was released . Critics of Meghan Markle 's style have often pointed out that Meghan 's clothes do n't seem to fit with her baggy trousers or longer-length items often seen dragging on the floor . A celebrity stylist has claimed the reason for Meghan 's ill-fit clothing is that they could be gifts from smaller brands that are " not possible to alter " or that Meghan could be deemed " too controversial " for bigger fashion houses .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'taking the fun out of riding a bike', where 'riding a bike' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate with a causee. Additionally, it lacks the movement/extraction or prevention interpretation characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Motorcyclist deaths in Scotland have increased by 80 per cent this year , and Police Scotland have launched plans to improve rider safety . A motorcyclist course that gives tips on better riding will be available across the country this month and next in an effort to curb the rising number of fatalities on the country 's roads involving motorcycles . Officers say there is a ' harsh reality ' behind Scotland 's road deaths , and bike riders are at the forefront of it . The concerns come as figures show motorcyclist deaths are up 80 per cent compared to 2023 . Ten riders died in 2023 , while 18 have already lost their lives in various incidents by August 2024 . Now alongside road safety partners , Police Scotland is holding courses to help motorcyclists as part of a ' holistic ' approach which also includes educating other drives in an attempt to reduce the number of collisions . The courses will be lead by police motorcyclists and accompanied by an observer from the Institute of Advance Motorists . It will look @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and skills to be safer . The course was originally launched in 2018 , but riders are now actively being encouraged to take part due to the recent spike in fatal incidents . Inspector Ally Johnson , head of Police Scotland 's Motorcycle Unit , said : " The course is about engaging with motorcyclists and helping them make better decisions to improve their riding . " This is n't about taking the fun out of riding a bike . The course is run by motorcyclists , for motorcyclists . " On a daily basis we also speak to other road users and highlight campaigns to encourage drivers to look out for motorcyclists , especially at corners and junctions . ( Image : Christopher Furlong/Getty Images ) " The harsh reality is people are dying on Scotland 's roads and we need everyone to play their part to help us improve road safety . " I would encourage people to come along , speak to us and try the course for yourself . " The Herald has reported a number of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ look to get out and enjoy the best of the summer weather . Three people died following a crash with two motorbikes in the Scottish Borders on Sunday 28 July ; a 37-year-old man , a 29-year-old man , and a 23-year-old woman who all died at the scene . The A83 road near Loch Gilphead was closed for around seven hours the same day after a crash involving a white Ducati . Emergency services attended and the rider , a 29-year-old woman , who was riding with a three other motorcyclists , was pronounced dead at the scene . Earlier in July on Tuesday 9 , another motorcyclist died . A 55-year-old man riding a BMW F650 collided with a tractor on the B9136 road in Moray . The spate of deaths in July prompted Police Scotland to meet with Transport Scotland to analyse the incidents as all parties urged " every driver and road user to think about their behaviour on the road " amidst investigations into the incidents . Now , the one-day Rider Refinement course will offer eight sessions between @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ course launched in the north of Scotland in 2018 , and was extended to the East in 2023 , and for the first time will come to the west this year . Officers say the previous course received positive feedback from riders who changed their riding style and improved their skills as a result of attending . The course involves demonstration rides , observed rides with feedback from officers , vehicle examination checks of riders ' bikes and safety checks that should be carried out before any journey . Priority will be given to those living in central belt of Scotland , and those wishing to participate are required to hold a full cat A or A2 licence . Each session will last a full day with lunch provided and costs ? 40 . Anyone wishing to attend can find details to enrol on Police Scotland 's website .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, 'pull out of' is used as a phrasal verb followed by a gerund phrase 'managing a waterside development in Salford', which does not involve a causee or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Property giant Savills has decided to pull out of managing a waterside development in Salford . The firm is stepping down from its role at Middlewood Locks , an apartment complex near the River Irwell and Manchester city centre . It comes after residents complained about receiving backdated energy bills from January 2021 , with some claiming they faced charges of more than ? 1,000 . Leaseholders say they were told about the problem in July after receiving a letter which said their energy tariff had been incorrect for more than three years . It led to Salford MP Rebecca Long-Bailey to call on Savills and energy provider ISTA to put the situation right , saying it had put a ' huge financial burden ' on residents . Ms Long-Bailey added : " There are a lot of residents because it 's quite a new development , and a high turnover of people renting as well .

They added : " People are really upset , it 's putting a lot of stress on our lives . " At the time , Savills said it ' appreciated the concerns ' and would clarify the situation on energy bills . It added that the service charge was ' budgeted in line with the growing needs of the properties ' . This week , a letter was shared with Middlewood Locks residents informing them that Savills has ' mutually agreed ' to step down from managing the development . It stated : " Further to listening to recent feedback from leaseholders , we have held discussions with Savills and have mutually agreed with them that they will be stepping down from their role as managing agents @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Quarry , Forge and Bellows .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'pull out of managing' does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'pull out of' is used in a different sense, indicating withdrawal from an activity or responsibility.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It uses 'produced out of nothing' which is a different construction and does not involve a causee or a VP[-ing] predicate with movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

( Image credit : Future ) Jacob Fox , hardware writer ( Image credit : Jacob Fox ) This week : I spent far too many hours gaming on the Lenovo Legion Go ( making up for lost time , I guess ) . I 've also been testing some snappy portable SSDs . You ever get the feeling the world 's spinning faster than you can keep up ? I certainly do . I mean , I take a measly four-year ( partial ) hiatus from gaming hardware to pursue a PhD and come back to a PC gaming landscape that 's barely recognisable . Back in 2020 I headed PCGamesN 's hardware coverage and now I 'm back covering the same kinds of wonderful gubbins at PC Gamer , but in between I escaped to the ethereal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ life and increase my number of brain wrinkles . I kept my toes dipped in hardware by freelancing , but things move fast in tech ( who knew ? ) . I witnessed some changes from the sidelines with envy while others passed me by completely . Now I 'm back in the game , I feel a little like a neolithic human who 's been dropped into Times Square . I know , I know : " Times change and technology improves , so what 's new ? " But I feel like the past four years have bucked the usual iterative trends and slapped some absolute bangers in their wake . I guess the difference between myself and some others is I 'm only grasping these developments right now , all at once . What froths up to the surface is , I think , a healthy portion of childlike wonder and an unhealthy dollop of retrospective FOMO , AKA regret . I 'm kinda kicking myself for missing out on so much , but instead of sulking about it , I 'm here to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over some of the changes in PC gaming technology that we 've seen over the past few years . Let 's kick off with monitors , shall we ? Now , I 'm a notoriously late adopter when it comes to certain things , including moving up in resolution ( it took me until 2022 to admit 1440p might actually be a good idea ) . But when it comes to high refresh rates I always prided myself on being an early adopter . I had a 144 Hz monitor back before even 120 Hz was cool -- well , before it was a mainstream recommendation , anyway . I remember trying to convince people that 144 Hz at 1080p is better than 60 Hz at 1440p ( which it is , by the way ) . Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals , as picked by the PC Gamer team . Contact me with news and offers from other Future brandsReceive email from us on behalf of our trusted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over . This , I think , is what 's surprised me the most about new PC gaming tech , and it 's what inspired me to write this needlessly gushy article in the first place . You see , during my Prime Day stint I reported on some of the best gaming monitor deals , and this is where I realised just how cheap decent high refresh rate monitors are these days . We 're not talking my 144 Hz refresh rate , either . No , it looks like 165 Hz is standard now . For context , I paid about ? 220 ( about $280 ) for my 144 Hz 1440p IPS monitor back in 2022 . Now , for about $100 cheaper than this , you can pick up a 165-180 Hz 1440p IPS monitor . At the time of writing , for instance , the 180 Hz Acer Nitro VG271U is on sale for $190 . This is just two years later . Do n't even get me started on OLED @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ year when I got my hands on the HP Omen Transcend 14 , and I 'm convinced OLED monitors are the way forward despite there currently being some problems with using them for PC gaming . I genuinely ( cross-my-heart ) did n't know games could look so good . Image 1 of 4 ( Image credit : Future ) ( Image credit : Future ) ( Image credit : Future ) ( Image credit : Future ) Enough about monitors , though , what else have I missed ? Oh , yeah , the birth of an entirely new way of playing video games : handheld gaming PCs . Sure , they technically existed before , but there were n't any affordable mainstream options . Now , big brands are rushing to make their own ones the most affordable . Being the luddite I am , when I heard Steam had made a handheld gaming PC back in 2022 , my initial and embarrassingly persistent thoughts were ( 1 ) " How 's that going to work , then ? " and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gunna buy that ? " As it turns out , a fair few PC gamers did . So many , in fact , that an entire handheld gaming PC industry flourished all around me while I marched on , oblivious , head-down and eyes set on the outdated games ( hello Counter-Strike and Overwatch ) that I was playing on my outdated monitor . Well , I 've tried a handheld gaming PC , now , and I can safely say that I see what all the hype was about . ( I also get to enter the handheld scene after all the initial experimental wrinkles have been straightened out . Hurray for me ! ) ( Image credit : Future ) What else ? Oh yeah , DLSS ( and now FSR ) frame generation . I mean , come on . I turn my back for what seems like two seconds and you go and make super-smart AI networks that can literally generate frames out of seeming nothingness . Which , combined with some similarly magical upscaling , can make for 2.5x the frame @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Imagine I leave the room to grab a coffee and when I return you nonchalantly tell me you 've learnt how to focus your mind to produce , apparently out of nothing , tiny pictures on your fingertips . " But do n't worry , " you tell me , " there 's no magic going on here , it 's all science , it 's just complicated stuff going on in the neural network of my brain . And it 's not produced out of nothing , it 's produced from the air in-between each finger . " Okay you wizard weirdo , I do n't care , just keep doing what you 're doing because it 's cool and I like it . ( Image credit : Nvidia , CDPR ) Did I mention how AMD decided to start stacking things on top of its chips in an entirely new kind of processor structure that outmatches any previous design for gaming ? AMD 's 3D V-Cache technology -- found in its X3D CPUs such as the current best CPU for gaming , the AMD Ryzen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the cache bottleneck problem for gaming . And there I was , at the time focusing only on Intel Alder Lake 's hybrid core strategy , which was , coincidentally , yet another 2022 development . ( There 's definitely something Mayan going on with that year . Do we know what alignment the stars were in back then ? ) I 'd better not even begin thinking about some of the changes that might have occurred in other areas over the past four years , or I 'm likely to get that FOMO again . I 've already started to notice that gaming keyboards are becoming surprisingly well-built , which could put my old pro-custom and pro-office keyboard prejudices to shame if I 'm not careful . Heck , it 's starting to look like there 's overlap , now , with some of the best gaming keyboards making for mighty fine , high-quality and not-too-outrageous office clackers . You do n't even really need to add your own dampening , these days . And if you 're looking for switches better than Cherry MX @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ third-party stores , either , because loads of keyboards today come with great stock switches .

A Hull City journalist has shared expert insight into what Aston Villa fans can expect from new signing Jaden Philogen . The youngster attracted interest from multiple suitors including West Ham United and Everton but opted for a return to Villa - who he previously played for before exiting for Hull City in 2023 after various loan spells Last season , the 22-year-old frightened Championship full-backs with his raw pace , directness , and trickery that allowed him to register 18 goal involvements - 12 goals and six assists - in 32 appearances as the Tigers narrowly missed out on a play-off spot finishing seventh . Barry Cooper - who covers Hull City - spoke to Dan Rolinson of Birmingham Live and host of the Claret & Blue podcast , he said : " He was a great lad ... I went to City Ground to watch his debut for England Under-21s ; they annihilated Serbia ; they put nine past them . He was just a delight to watch . On his development , Cooper said : " I think it 's fair @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the one that left . Jaden came needing to play regularly , he needed to come to a team that needed to challenge for promotion that played fairly on the front foot . What we did see was Jaden defensively ; his defensive discipline really improved throughout the season . Of course , he was a real threat going forward but under Liam Rosenior he learned what it requires to be a defensive player as well - it ca n't just be about going forward . " He was a delight to watch , I loved watching him . Football 's about making memories ... you want to go and watch games where players get you off your seat and excite you - Jaden , for Hull City was that player . Everybody seen the Rabona goal he scored at Rotherham . He would try things you would n't expect ; some of it would come off , some of it would n't - but you have to applaud him for trying . " It was unfortunate he did n't get in the Team of the Year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . That was a real problem ... it took him a few games to find his mojo again . " As ever when a player progresses through the respective divisions , question marks remain , however , Cooper is confident the player can thrive in England 's elite division : " He had that ability to create something out of nothing , of course , that was in the Championship , the challenge is to replicate that in the Premier League ... against far better players . What I hope is ... Villa fans give him that time and space to make mistakes , to give the ball away , and maybe try something that does n't come off . He 's got to get into that rhythm of playing in the Premier League . " Yes , Aston Villa are competing in European football 's premium competition this season and , yes , the claret and blue faithful are having a rather contented chuckle to themselves . Just five years after being reinstated to the top flight following a Championship play-off final victory over Derby County @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are hellbent on keeping their place at the top table . With PSR , FFP and other financial acronyms proving to be more challenging opponents than many of their Premeir League rivals last season , the powers-that-be at Villa Park have been doing some calculated wheeling and dealing this summer . Losing Douglas Luiz to balance the books has been the biggest blow so far , but Villa 's disappointment at the Brazilian midfielder 's move to Juventus is offset by the arrivals from the Turin club of Enzo Barrenechea and Samuel Iling-Junior . Then there 's the exciting capture of Chelsea 's Borussia Dortmund Championship League finalist Ian Maatsen and Ross Barkley 's return to Witton after a productive spell at Luton Town , with plenty more transfer movement to come . Amadou Onana 's impending signing from Everton is set to be another major coup for Villa while talented rookie Jaden Philogene-Bidace has been to Hull and back with the prospect of plenty unfinished business in claret and blue when his homecoming is completed . Having fast-tracked Villa from Premier League also-rans to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is determined to maintain the pace of progress . Being competitive in Europe will be a key priority as will cementing the club 's status in the higher echelons of the top flight . Another top four finish is a big ask , especially with Villa fans crying out for a first trophy in almost three decades but Emery thrives on the expectation and positively encourages the Villa Park masses to dream . Whichever way you look at it , this is a great time to be an Aston Villa fan and to celebrate the optimism in B6 we 've produced our Aston Villa 2024-25 Kick Off special , our brilliant guide to the new season . Our man at Villa , John Townley , will waltz you through what to expect from Villa in 2024/25 , turn the spotlight on Emery , run the rule over the new signings and pinpoint the ones to watch who could be key to success .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'investors' is the NP subject, 'skip' is V1, 'getting taxed on the income they receive' is VP2[-ing]. It also fits the prevention interpretation, as 'skip out of getting taxed' can be paraphrased as 'prevent investors from getting taxed'. The verb 'skip' can be categorized under 'By other specific means' for achieving the goal. The NP object is implied (investors themselves), functioning as causee, which aligns with the construction's requirements.

If I had spare cash to invest in the months ahead , here are two FTSE 100 shares I 'd happily buy for my ISA . Both have dividend yields of at least 5% . Let 's get the ball rolling with NatWest ( LSE : NWG ) . Its share price spiked nearly 12% recently after the bank released its latest set of half-year results . Yet , having pulled back since , I see a ton of value in the stock . Investors were clearly happy with NatWest 's update . Operating profit for Q2 rose by 27.7% to ? 1.7bn , meaning its first-half operating profit came in at ? 3bn . It also lifted its full-year guidance for a number of metrics , including its return on tangible equity . It 's easy to see why market spectators were flocking to snap up some shares . But the stock still has an attractive valuation today , in my view . It trades on 6.9 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ undervalued on paper . With higher profits , the business raised its interim dividend to 6p , up 9% year over year . It has also completed ? 1.2bn of share buybacks in the first half of the year . Today , the stock yields 5.3% , comfortably above the FTSE 100 average . Ongoing economic uncertainty remains a threat to banks . A sudden rise in inflation could see the market throw a tantrum . What 's more , falling interest rates will squeeze banks ' margins . But with its cheap valuation and enticing yield , I think NatWest shares could be a smart stock for investors to consider today . Second on the list is oil and gas giant BP ( LSE : BP . ) . Like NatWest , it recently updated investors with its first-half performance . One of the standout aspects was a 10% increase in its half-year dividend . The stock yields a chunky 5% . Last year , management broadcast its intention to buy back up to $14bn worth of shares by the end of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of that by the end of this year . Like NatWest , BP also looks like good value . It 's trading on 7.8 times forward earnings . That 's below the FTSE 100 average of 12 . As the world moves away from traditional fossil fuels , that will no doubt pose a massive challenge for BP . It has pumped large amounts of investment into renewable energy . So far , its success rate 's been mixed . Furthermore , BP 's a cyclical stock . Its share price performance tends to mirror the price of oil . But with demand set to rise over the next decade , that could bode well for BP . The stock 's remained fairly stagnant in recent years . But even if we do n't see much share price growth , I 'll happily collect the juicy dividend on offer , which has been rising over the last couple of years .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'making an issue out of nothing' involves an NP ('nothing') as a complement of the complex preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

DEAR DEIDRE : MY ex is a real scumbag and I 'm torn over whether to tell his new wife that he has been trying to get back into my bed . I 'm 25 and he is 30 . We dated for a year just after the end of the pandemic . Recently , I found out that my ex had got married and my heart sank . Only a few weeks ago he contacted me on Instagram saying he missed me and wanted to start things again , but I was too wary to jump back in . We broke up because he 'd always been really flaky during our relationship . It 's important for me to spend quality time together but I would n't hear from him for days , sometimes even a week , because he was " busy with work " , which raised alarm bells because he had a nine-to-five job . Every problem gets a personal reply from one of our trained counsellors . Fill out and submit our easy-to-use and confidential form and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You can also send a private message on the DearDeidreOfficial Facebook page or email us at : deardeidre@the-sun.co.uk I 'm a single mum and my son sees his dad on the weekends so I would naturally jump at the opportunity to see my ex , but he hardly ever showed up . It did n't take long for me to suspect there was another woman , but whenever I brought it up , he would get defensive , saying he was busy and I was making an issue out of nothing . Soon , his manipulative ways took a toll on my mental health . I could n't bear not knowing if I would hear from him . I ended it , but we remained friends . A few weeks later he texted me saying he 'd met someone else . He even told me it was fate and they were destined to be together . I was fuming and questioned why he could n't have felt this way about me . Dear Deidre : Cheating and can you get over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me and wanted me back it felt like he was finally giving me the attention I 'd desperately needed from him before . Luckily , I found his wife on Instagram so I knew he was still playing with my feelings . Now my conscience is niggling me to tell this woman to run for the hills as he will never change and she deserves so much better than him . What shall I do ? |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'opted out of having the spicier dip' involves the subject 'I' opting out of an action, but there is no NP object involved, and it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it simply describes a personal choice without causing or preventing another's action.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee, and the phrase 'opted out of having the spicier dip' does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it simply describes a personal choice.

A devastated wife has recalled the moment she found out her ' gym-loving ' new husband died while driving to work . Just six months after getting married , Darren Brooks , 41 , died ' unexpectedly ' due to an underlying but potentially deadly heart condition he never knew he had . It was later discovered that Darren had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy ( HOCM ) . The condition causes the walls of the heart to become thick and stiff . Over time , the heart ca n't take in or pump out enough blood to supply the body . Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is known to cause sudden cardiac death in athletes . Onlookers who spotted the 41-year-old says he was ' slumped ' at the wheel on the M61 . Darren tragically died instantly at the scene on November 15 , 2022 . The field engineer ' loved going to the gym ' and lived an ' active ' lifestyle . Darren 's healthy lifestyle left his wife , Sarah Brooks , to believe there was ' no reason to suspect ' anything was wrong . Darren and Sarah married six months earlier @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ including former Manchester City footballer Marc-Vivien Fo ? , 28 , in 2003 . As well as basketball player Hank Gathers , 23 , in 1990 and basketball player Reggie Lewis , 27 , in 1993 . It led former footballer Fabrice Muamba to suffer a cardiac arrest and collapse during Bolton 's FA Cup match vs Tottenham Hotspur in March 2012 . Luckily he was resuscitated despite his heart stopping for 78 minutes and he now supports British Heart Foundation campaigns . Sarah , 37 , is taking part in a charity skydive in Nottingham with the North West team at Utilita , where Darren worked for three years , to raise money for the British Heart Foundation . The theatre purchasing buyer , who lives in Oldham , Greater Manchester , said : " It was just horrible . We 'd just started married life and were excited to start a family and excited to do everything . " You just never envision losing your husband that early in life ever . We were planning on having a family . We were just in love @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him when I was on my lunch hour . The police answered his phone and questioned where I was and needed to see me that morning . " He was on the motorway heading to his first job in the morning . Unfortunately he suffered a medical episode , which now we know was caused by a disease called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy . He passed away at the wheel . Luckily he did n't injure anyone else . It was members of the public who noticed Darren slumped on the wheel . He went into the central reservation of the motorway . Many young sports stars have died from same the condition She added : " All the emergency services were called . They tried to revive him for over 30 minutes on the motorway but unfortunately he was pronounced dead at the scene . They thought he had a heart attack because they did n't know the route of the course . It took us six to eight weeks to finally find out the cause of his death . " The 37-year-old revealed her husband 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' , which is a symptom of HOCM . Sarah said : " He had no symptoms or reason to suspect something was wrong . He went to the gym everyday . He loved going to the gym and kept himself active . He was never someone that would sit around . He ate healthily . " He was told he had a large heart but because he 'd liked going to the gym they said that was normal with his frame . But that 's one of the symptoms of HOCM that can cause an enlarged heart . It basically shuts down the walls . The muscles of the walls thicken and if untreated it can cause sudden death . " The wife revealed her late husband ' always wanted ' to do a skydive and hopes he now can as she has two tattoos on her arms with Darren 's ashes in . By supporting the British Heart Foundation , the wife hopes to prevent anyone else from experiencing the ' hell ' she has been through after his death . Sarah said : " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ left a giant Darren-shaped hole in the North West Utilita team . We wanted to do something in his memory to raise awareness . He 'd always wanted to do a skydive . I thought what better way to honour him than jump out of a plane . Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy restricts the heart 's capacity to pump blood around the body " I 'm excited because I 've actually got two tattoos with Darren 's ashes in . I feel like I 'm fulfilling one of his wishes that he wanted to do for him . He 'd be laughing his head off at me . He knows it 's something I 'd never ever do . If I ca n't do it for my husband then I ca n't do it for anyone . " I just want to make someone think if they have a symptom or anything to go and get themselves checked out . If I can stop one family going through the hell that I 've gone through then that 's all I want . " There 's a lot of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about . You just never know what 's around the corner . I would never wish what happened to me on anyone , to go through the loss of a husband at such a young age . If I can just save one person and if something positive can come out of something so negative it makes life a little bit easier . " A GoFundMe page , which has currently raised ? 2,810 , was set up by 18-year-old Hannah Hughes , whose dad also works for Utilita and who had surgery for a congenital heart condition at just four years old . Hannah said : " It was a very unexpected thing to happen to Darren . It should n't have happened . It was very unfair . " It 's very sad but this is why it 's important to raise money so things like that can be diagnosed earlier . I also had heart surgery when I was four . Without that , I would n't be here today . Being able to put money into their research and congenital heart research is very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was life-changing for me . It makes me less nervous to do the jump . It 's for such an important cause that it 's bigger than me .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'make a living out of commentating on public policy' involves the verb 'make' with 'a living' as its object and 'out of commentating on public policy' as a prepositional phrase indicating the means of making a living. There is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the interpretation does not involve movement/extraction or prevention. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

On Friday night , I watched the news with a sick heart . I watched masked men in Sunderland throw bricks and beer cans at the police and chant racist slogans . I recognised the setting . I grew up in Sunderland : I spent 15 years of my life there and still have family there . I was in Keel Square , where the disorder began , in the early hours of New Year 's Day this year . There is no justification for the violence we have seen in towns and cities across the country this week . To attribute it to the tragic murder of three young girls in Southport on 29 July is mistaken , misleading and grotesque , weaponising the devastating loss their families have suffered for an extremist political agenda . Of course we can follow the chain of events : within hours of the killings , false and almost certainly malicious disinformation was circulating on social media that the suspect was a Muslim who had arrived by boat last year and was being monitored by the security services . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ true . The person charged is a 17-year-old from Banks in Lancashire , who will turn 18 this week . Axel Rudakubana was born in Cardiff to parents who immigrated from Rwanda in 2002 , his father apparently a hard-working taxi driver who wanted to establish an online retail business . We do not know what religion , if any , the family observes . None of this has mattered to the extremists who have taken to the streets . The unfounded suggestion that the suspect was a Muslim saw the mosque in Southport attacked , and the murders have been used as a springboard for arguments about mass immigration , multiculturalism and integration . It is not to deny the importance of those issues of public policy to say that they are neither reason nor justification for rioting . Yet they are the motivation cited again and again not just by open racists and extremists but by fellow travellers like Reform UK leader Nigel Farage , whose contribution was to post a shamelessly , unforgivably inflammatory video on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It is very easy , especially if you are hyper-observant of politics and make a living out of commentating on public policy , to shake your head sadly at the way in which people have been misled and manipulated , encouraged into lawlessness by appeals to their basest anxieties and prejudices . It is more difficult to treat it as an abstract intellectual exercise when you recognise the streets and looted shopfronts , when your parents ' home is a mile from where the bottles and bricks were thrown , when the rhythms and cadences of the local speech are as familiar to you as the sound of your own heartbeat . How do you process this ? The violence was planned on a wide scale and extremist groups have been using social media to co-ordinate their so-called ' protests ' , with some of the rioters travelling to Sunderland purely to cause trouble . But they managed , somehow , to strike a chord with some locals , even only a few , and whip up racism and xenophobia as well as taking on the police directly and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do you process this ? No group of people is perfect but I say with absolute conviction that Mackems -- the people of Sunderland , to be distinguished from the Geordie population of Newcastle -- are in general warm , kind , generous men and women who will offer a hand to anyone , even if they reserve the right to mock you affectionately as they help you up . The city has had hard decades since my childhood but there is a great deal of cause for optimism , with plenty of regeneration and economic development . Of course there are those who feel excluded , disadvantaged and disenfranchised , and a smaller number who simply dislike and distrust those who are not like them . A very few of them have proven easy to manipulate , and in any northern town or city on a Friday night you will find a leaving of young men who can be tempted by the headrush of violent transgression and law-breaking . It is a clich ? , but it is true , that what happened on Friday did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more eloquently of the spirit that animates Mackems was the army of volunteers who made their way to the city centre on Saturday morning to help clear the streets , sweep up the broken glass and restore a semblance of order where there had been such inexcusable violence and hatred hours before . I hope the violence has subsided for now , in Sunderland at least , and I am proud of the quiet dedication of the men and women who condemned the lawlessness that came among them . The message has to be clear : we can debate policy on immigration , communities and integration , but the moment you choose violence , you forfeit your part in the conversation . Friday 's rioting was the manipulation of unhappiness by bad actors , and as such it was unacceptable . With the best will in the world , I hope not to see my home town on the news again for a while . A full-scale war between Israel and Hezbollah now seems closer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , including the killing of twelve Druze children by a Hezbollah rocket and the assassination of the organisation 's armed forces commander , mean that war is now a more likely scenario . A war in Lebanon would look very differently to |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It involves the phrase 'a rush out of everything from equities to crypto', where 'out of' is part of a prepositional phrase describing the movement from one state to another, not involving a VP[-ing] predicate or a causee.

That famous Philip Larkin quote people reach for whenever they wish to convey just how detrimental parents can be towards their children reaches some kind of zenith here in Moon Unit Zappa 's extraordinary family memoir . This is a book that frequently takes the breath from the lungs , and leaves the reader with the conviction that Zappa 's complicated clan must surely have been among America 's most dysfunctional . Even those of us who know precious little about Frank Zappa seem somehow to know the basics : avant-garde 60s/70s rock star , routinely hailed a visionary and a genius ; hair , nose , moustache . In Earth to Moon , real-life Zappa is a spectral figure whose attention span stretches only to his own proclivities , while his wife , Gail , is required to deal with everything else . Together , Zappa and Gail would have four children : Moon Unit , Dweezil , Ahmet and Diva . Their oldest was given the middle name of Unit because Zappa believed that her arrival would bond them all for ever . Not so . Zappa was a rock star , after all , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to create , and many women to sleep with . Briefly , there was one who lived within the family home , in the basement . Moon realised quickly that hers was an atypical upbringing that she could only connect with at one remove , and sardonically . " Growing up , I was just like you , " she writes . " I had a rock star for a dad , two invisible camels for playmates , and daydreamed about my future following in Frank 's footsteps by helping people and making them laugh , only I 'd be dressed like a nun . " As creativity chafed against domesticity , her father , " a pagan absurdist " , was mostly absent . Those times he was at home , Moon did whatever she could to earn his attention . When he laughed at her mimicry of 1980s California teen speak , he got her into the studio to record Valley Girl , a novelty song that surprised him by becoming , in 1982 , his only global hit , and by making his daughter , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ here , she became an actor , mixing with Molly Ringwald and Tom Cruise , but rarely felt comfortable in her skin . " Everyone says I look just like Dad . My dad is always saying he 's ugly . I guess that means I am ugly , too . " She bailed out of acting and into ashrams instead , returning home " wearing a Bindi , smiling vacantly and smelling of wet hairy armpit " . The more errant Frank 's behaviour , the angrier her mother grew . This she took out on Moon , who remained utterly devoted to him regardless . Later in life , when he was ill with cancer , she writes : " I would trade my life for his . " Gail was discomfited by the adoration . Her daughter annoyed her . The book 's title is a reference to how her mother would mock her for daydreaming , and relations did not improve when Moon grew up . Later , Gail would execute her husband 's will in a way that would drive a wedge between @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ such a thoroughly dispiriting saga , Earth to Moon is somehow an unconscionably entertaining read . This is in no small part thanks to the prose . Moon , who published one novel ( America the Beautiful ) in 2001 , is a sublime writer who dips her pen in Nora Ephron 's ink .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it involves the verb 'smuggled' followed by 'him out of King's Landing', which is a location, not a VP[-ing] predicate. There is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

Season two 's final episode appeared to stop just short of some real action . While Daemon resolved his family issues and Rhaenyra and Alicent resolved ... whatever it is they have going on , the Dance of the Dragons civil war appeared to be stuck in a holding pattern on House of the Dragon . Still , the final five minutes of the season 2 finale do act as a sort of sizzle reel for the action to come inseason 3 as we see several armies and navies advance across the Westerosi landscape to parts unknown ( all scored by Ramin Djawadi 's spooky piano , of course ) . With that in mind , let 's take stock of all the various factions on the board , where they might be heading , and what battles they will undoubtedly get into whenever the Game of Thrones prequel returns . Ad Ad -- content continues below Last we heard , Rhaenyra 's ( Emma D'Arcy ) instructions to her new dragonriders Hugh ( Kieran Bew ) , Ulf ( Tom @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to fly to Green strongholds of Lannisport and Oldtown to wreak fiery havoc . Of course , plans change quickly in wartime and Alicent 's ( Olivia Cooke ) de facto surrendering of King 's Landing may have changed their course of action . If we go by the timeline in Fire & Blood , the dragonseeds ' next destination should be the skies over the blockaded Gullet for one of the war 's bloodiest battles known as " The Battle of the Gullet . " Read on to the Velaryon and Triarchy portion of this article to find out more about that . Earlier in this episode , we hear that Daeron Targaryen 's young dragon , Tessarion , has taken to wing . In the final moments , we finally get to see what the gorgeous blue dragon looks like in action as he flies above a massive Hightower host . Daeron is undoubtedly up there with Tessarion as well , though the show has not officially cast him . The Hightower swords @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hightower , are marching northeast toward King 's Landing to join King Aegon II 's ( Tom Glynn-Carney ) war effort . Unfortunately for Ormund , Daeron , and the Hightowers , they will encounter many setbacks and skirmishes on their way . The Hightowers are not the stewards of The Reach , that honor belongs to House Tyrell . As such , the region is not unified in support of King Aegon II . House Beesbury and House Tarly stand in opposition to the Hightowers and they will harass them as they march across the Reach , culminating in the Battle of the Honeywine . Jacaerys Velaryon 's ( Harry Collett ) negotiations with House Frey paid off and Lord Cregan Stark 's ( Tom Taylor ) host of whitebeard soldiers has successfully been granted access to The Twins , cutting their travel time down to King 's Landing significantly . Here 's the thing about Westeros though : it 's big ... like really big . Lord Cregan 's old men , led by Roderick Dustin , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ season 3 but any Stark reinforcements wo n't turn up in the story until much later on . Jason Lannister ( Jefferson Hall ) , Lord of Casterly Rock and all-around ass , was adamant that he would n't move his Western army until Prince Aemond ( Ewan Mitchell ) provided aerial support with Vhagar . Well , Aemond 's indiscriminate torching of Sharp Point , the seat of House Bar Emmon , appears to have convinced Lord Jason to get rolling . Jason 's formidable host of a thousand knights and many thousands more men-at-arms is en route to the Riverlands to crush Prince Daemon 's newly-gained Rivermen allies . Ad Ad -- content continues below Fortunately for Lord Jason Lannister , the Westerland soldiers wo n't find Daemon or his dragon Caraxes in The Riverlands . Daemon and Rhaenyra have a bigger prize than Harrenhal in mind : the Iron Throne . Unfortunately for Jason and the Westermen , the Rivermen who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . The Westerland and Riverland armies are set to meet in a series of battles , the most notable of which is the Battle at the Red Fork . Join our mailing list Get the best of Den of Geek delivered right to your inbox ! OK , here 's the big one , folks . Just as House of the Dragon season 2 opened with a major moment from Fire & Blood in the form of " Blood and Cheese , " so too is season 3 likely to open with a long-awaited event from the book : The Battle of the Gullet . Of all the battles waged in the Dance of the Dragon , the Battle of the Gullet might just be the biggest and most destructive . The Gullet is a stretch of water in The Crownlands that separates the islands of Driftmark and Dragonstone with Massey 's Hook ( an eastern peninsula of Westeros ) . Due to its narrow features , the Gullet has been where House Velaryon has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Queen Rhaenyra . Lifting that embargo is of the utmost importance to the Greens and now that Ser Tyland Lannister ( Jefferson Hall ) has secured the help of the Triarchy 's ships , they have the means to end it . Whether they realize it or not , Ser Tyland , Admiral Sharako Lohar ( Abigail Thorn ) , Lord Corlys Velaryon ( Steve Toussaint ) , and Alyn of Hull ( Abubakar Salim ) are all destined to end up in this major naval catastrophe soon . If the show follows the book , the battle will grow so big that four dragonriders from the Blacks will have to intervene . There will also be a major character death to contend with . Read the Wiki of Ice and Fire entry if you want to know who . It would appear so ! Much to some fans ' consternation , Rhaena Targaryen ( Phoebe Campbell ) is on the verge of taking a beloved book character 's place . In Fire & Blood , a lowborn girl named @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ becomes one of the Blacks ' dragonriders . The reason why it seems as though Rhaena has borrowed Nettles ' arc is that book Rhaena does n't claim her dragon until much later on , when one of the three dragon eggs she brought to the Vale hatches and out comes her bonded dragon , Morning . Whether this wild dragon in The Vale will be known as Sheepstealer or Morning remains to be seen . Ad Ad -- content continues below This is an area where House of the Dragon gets to be a little creative . All that is known about King Aegon II 's whereabouts in the historical record is that Lord Larys Strong ( Matthew Needham ) smuggled him out of King 's Landing before it fell to the Blacks . Where he 's being hidden is anyone 's guess . He will , however , eventually pop up again in a very unexpected location near war 's end . Check out the Wiki if you want to know where . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'pulled out of' followed by a noun phrase 'buying Everton', which does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction.

However , predating the reported interest of every one of those parties is the New York-headquartered group MSP Sports Capital . If that name sounds familiar , it might be because the global private equity firm recently failed in a bid to take over Everton . But with the group seemingly uninterested in re-entering talks with Farhad Moshiri after Dan Friedkin pulled out of buying Everton , the latest news could signal that Spurs may still be in their crosshairs . Before Spurs formally announced that they were looking to sell , sources had told TBR that the club had been ' on the market ' for several years . Levy has always maintained that he had a duty to ENIC shareholders to give due consideration to offers and that they had received offers in the past , although none that matched their valuation . MSP are believed to have gone further down this route than any other party in recent years , going as far as to conduct full due diligence and hold exploratory talks with the club . Their interest in Everton signalled that they had moved on but , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ investable clubs for sale , it is hard to imagine that Spurs are not now on their radar once more . In a new development , MSP partner Jahm Najafi , who is a highly diversified investor across different sectors , has told Forbes that he is currently " focused on sports . " Najafi is a partner at MSP alongside Jeff Moorad , who The Sporting News have named on their list of the most powerful people in sport eight times in total . If MSP are looking for a capital appreciation project that most analysts believe is one of the most promising in sports at present , they will surely be considering Spurs once again . Levy is a tough negotiator and his ? 3.75bn valuation of Spurs has raised eyebrows in some quarters . At that price , a full sale of the club would make it comfortably the biggest takeover in football history . That greatly reduces the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deal , although a minority investment with a premium is more achievable . While takeovers of Newcastle and Everton have been protracted affairs fraught with regulatory complexities , Levy would not push ahead with an offer that he was not certain would be ratified -- both by ENIC and the Premier League . It is therefore likely that , once a buyer emerges , a deal could be quite quickly , in relative terms at least . Photo by AMA/Corbis via Getty Images Joe Lewis 's conviction for insider trading last year saw him step down from his role at Spurs . Although his family trust still controls his shares , there is sufficient corporate separation that the former owner would not present any issues . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses the phrase 'come out of hiding' which does not involve a transitive verb with an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses the phrase 'come out of hiding' which does not involve a transitive verb with an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate, and it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'come out of hiding' as a fixed phrase without the required grammatical and semantic components of the construction.

The defendant admitted one count of assault of an emergency worker . He was remanded in custody by deputy district judge Simon Blakebrough who asked for a pre-sentence report to be prepared before he is sentenced on Aug 27 .

Speaking to BBC Radio 4 's Today programme , he said : " I think that you need to be cautious about applying counterterrorism in effectively a live incident , it could be escalatory and you 'll end up with finger pointing . One group will start saying ' well if you 're calling these people terrorists , why do n't you call these people terrorists .

The justice minister told Sky News : " The idea that you can sit behind a computer screen or sit behind the screen of your mobile phone and somehow think that that protects you from the law is for the birds . " So we will take a very robust approach to the social media companies , I know that Peter Kyle the Secretary of State for Science , Innovation and Technology is already in conversation with them . " There has been some welcome action where there has been automated removal of some false information , but I do think the social media companies could and should be doing more .

" Courts sitting through the night to swiftly see rioters in the dock is something that " could possibly " start taking place across England , Heidi Alexander said . The justice minister told LBC Radio : " The additional courts protocol is something that could possibly be invoked in different regions of the UK if the chief police officer and the chief prosecutor in that area decide that they want it . " They make an application to the judiciary and so the judiciary indicated yesterday that they would be willing to consider any of those requests . " It would mean that in the magistrates courts there could be longer sittings , sittings through the evening , the night , at weekends .

She told BBC Radio 4 's Today programme : " We will make sure that anyone who is given a custodial sentence as a result of the riots and disorder , there will be a prison place waiting for them . " What we have been able to do in the last week since the problems have arisen is that we have been able to bring forward some additional prison places that we had been due to bring on stream later in the month . There are 567 additional prison places . " Heidi Alexander , the justice minister , told Times Radio : " I agree with what the spokesperson on behalf of the Prime Minister was saying yesterday .

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

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it describes someone considering not attending an event due to pain, without involving a causer causing a causee to move out of or be prevented from an action. The phrase 'pulling out of attending' does not involve an NP object that is a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

After going up 2-0 in the first half , Adriana tacked on a third goal in the 70th minute by capitalizing on another Spanish error . Adriana had kicked the ball into the crossbar , but Spain were unable to clear the ball and she headed in for a goal . Spain 's 85th minute goal to break the clean sheet went in the scorebook as an own goal , but Salma Paralluelo deserves the credit . Unfortunately for her , Kerolin reestablished Brazil 's three-goal lead on a breakaway minutes later . Paralluelo added another goal in the 12th minute of stoppage time , and nearly completed a hat trick but it would not be enough to make up for early blunders . Brazil 's win was official following a whopping 15 minutes of stoppage time thanks to numerous injuries and substitutions . Spain will play Germany for bronze on Friday at 9 a.m . ET , and Brazil will play the US for gold on Saturday at 11 a.m . ET . Link Copied ! From CNN 's Kyle Feldscher in Paris Team USA huddles after their victory against Brazil in Paris , on August 6 .

Team USA just trounced Brazil , 122-87 , as they move toward a semifinal matchup with Serbia . It 's a rematch of the two teams ' opening game of the Olympics , which Team USA won 110-84 . Led by Devin Booker 's 18 points , Anthony Edwards ' 17 and Joel Embiid 's answer to critics online and boo-birds in the crowd , it was just more proof that it is impossible to game plan for this team of stars . Sure , LeBron James and Kevin Durant can have off nights by their standards , but there 's always another NBA All-Star who 's ready to fill in that gap . James spent much of the third and fourth quarters in the locker room after taking an inadvertent elbow to the face from a Brazilian player . He went down to one knee quickly and was eventually guided to the bench by a trainer . He received treatment on the bench before going to the locker room area . He would return and appeared to be OK as the game wound down . Things are looking good for this team as it looks for its fifth Olympic gold medal in a row . Link Copied !

Coach Rana Reider gestures during a training session in the Stadio dei Marmi ahead of an athletics meeting in Rome , on May 15 . Alessandra Tarantino/AP/FILE Rana Reider , the personal coach for track stars Andre De Grasse and Lamont Marcell Jacobs , both of whom are competing at Paris 2024 , had his Olympic credentials revoked by the Canadian Olympic Committee ( COC ) on Monday . The COC said the decision to deny the coach 's access to the Games was based on " new information about the appropriateness of Mr. Reider remaining accredited by Team Canada . " Reider 's attorney , Ryan Stevens , said in a statement Monday that the coach was " unjustly stripped of his Olympic coaching credential , based on years-old claims in a lawsuit by former athletes seeking financial gain . " Both De Grasse , a three-time Olympian for Canada , and Jacobs , who represents Italy , list Reider as their personal coach on their official Olympics bio pages . An American coach , Reider had previously been under investigation for alleged sexual misconduct by the US Center for SafeSport . The COC said Monday the committee had issued accreditation to Reider " based on the understanding that his probation with the US Center for Safe Sport ended in May this year , that he had no other suspensions or sanctions , and otherwise met our eligibility requirements . " Stevens reiterated what the COC said about Reider not having any sanction against him by the US Center for SafeSport . Stevens also said there is no sanction against the coach by USA Track & Field or Athletics Canada . " The only investigative body , the Center , that has looked into the years-old claims closed its investigation in 2023 and dismissed the large majority of the claims , " Stevens said . " Coach Reider successfully completed a probation period that ended in May . " CNN has reached out to the US Center for SafeSport for comment . Reider , is listed as a defendant in three lawsuits in Broward County , Florida , accusing the coach of " sexual and emotional abuses . " De Grasse is set to race in a 200m semifinal on Wednesday with the final slated for Thursday . He won gold in this event at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo . De Grasse failed to qualify for the 100m final in Paris . Jacobs placed fifth in the men 's 100m event in Paris and is set to race again in the men 's 4x100m relay .

Angelos Zymaras/SOOC/AFP/Getty Images Greece 's Milti ? dis Tent ? glou becomes the second athlete ever to win back-to-back long jump titles -- the only other person to do it was Carl Lewis , who won four in a row . Tent ? glou grabbed the gold with an 8.48-meter jump . " It 's a great achievement . I am very happy , but very tired . It 's OK . My distance was not bad , not good . ... I did n't think my jump was going to be enough because the other guys are very talented and capable . I was pushing throughout to do more , " Tent ? glou said . When queried about his accomplishment of being the second man to achieve two Olympic long jump titles in a row , he said : " I am the second guy but there are many others who have won the world championships many times but they were unlucky in the Olympics . With the Olympics you have to be lucky because it is one final every four years , and it is difficult . " The Greek though sees himself heading to the next couple of Summer Games in order to match Lewis ' feat of four in a row . " Of course I 'll go for three in a row . And four , we 'll see . I will try , I will try . I am 26 now , so I will be 30 in LA , so it 's possible . " She 's done it -- Amit Elor has won the gold medal in the women 's 68kg freestyle ! It 's an astonishing run to a medal because she 's competing out of her normal weight class . " It was one of the best moments in my life . I think I 'm going to remember it for my entire life . It 's one of the best feelings in the world , " Elor said post-win . " And when I experience something like that , it just reminds me that everything is worth it . All the hard days , the grind , it 's all worth it -- for moments like these . " She made her name in the 72kg weight class , winning the 2022 World Wrestling Championships -- becoming the youngest US wrestler , male or female , world champion aged 18 -- before successfully defending her crown a year later . But the 72kg weight class is n't part of the Olympic Games , meaning she needed to cut down to compete . And she has adjusted to life at a lighter weight seamlessly . Remarkably , she won her first two matches with a combined score of 18-2 before going one better and beating North Korea 's Pak Sol Gum in the semifinal in just one minute and 44 seconds . Elor added : " I 'm still in disbelief . I think I have a little bit of impostor syndrome . Because , like I said yesterday ( Monday ) , I still feel like that little kid who just started wrestling , but I just became an Olympic champion . So all I have to say is , trust in the process , believe in yourself and do n't be afraid to try things . Because if you do n't try at all , you automatically lose . " L ? pez 's Olympic career started at Athens 2004 and he has gone on to win the gold medal in Beijing , London , Rio , Tokyo and now Paris . He even took a break from wrestling last September after his father passed away and only recently started training again -- but he still looked utterly unbeatable in Paris . Acosta 's story is equally as remarkable . Born in Cuba , he represented his home nation until the 2015 Pan American Championships in Santiago , Chile , where he remained after the games were over . Given L ? pez was Cuba 's dominant wrestler , Acosta -- who is close friends with L ? pez and was his training partner for nine years -- rarely got the opportunity to represent Cuba on the biggest stage . He has previously spoken about how he would be in tears watching wrestlers win at previous Olympics , knowing he could have easily beaten them . He worked as a security guard for two years in Chile before being granted citizenship and narrowly missed out on bronze in Tokyo . Now , he has realized his lifelong dream of standing on an Olympic podium as he wins the silver medal . After the fight , L ? pez takes off his shoes and leaves them in the middle of the ring , indicating his retirement from the sport . L ? pez and his coach are in tears .

Adam Pretty/Getty Images At Rio 2016 , American swimming star Simone Manuel became the first Black woman swimmer to earn an individual gold at the Olympics , winning the 100 meter freestyle . But things took an unexpected turn just when she was reaching her prime . Manuel was diagnosed with overtraining syndrome in 2021 ; the swimmer was unable to recuperate after training , her body was overcome with constant nausea and fatigue . She thought her career might be over after a disappointing Tokyo Olympics where she only won a team bronze in the 4x100m freestyle relay . She did n't know if she could go on . " I just needed to breath , " Manuel told CNN Sport . She walked away from the sport she loves for five months to find clarity -- and she found it . Manuel learned to live with her condition and found the inner strength to persevere . She worked her way back to the Olympic stage and is now leaving Paris with two silver relay medals brining her career total to seven . " It really is a miracle , " she added . Her impressive comeback story comes with her strong message of the importance of mental health and caring for oneself . " I really have a passion for swimming , " she said . " It 's what I love to do and I think I felt like I had more to accomplish in the sport and I 've always said that I was n't going to quit until I felt like I gave the sport everything I had . " She also tells CNN about her concern for the lack of understanding -- by casual fans and the media -- of how stressful the Olympic stage is for athletes . Manuel quoted a post she made on X , formerly known as Twitter , in 2021 following Caeleb Dressel not qualifying for a swimming final and being emotionally overcome after missing out on qualifying for a final . " I 'll forever stand by this . Interviews/recordings/ photography in these moments really are n't necessary , " Manuel posted . " I can attest to the fact that the moment is already traumatic and the capture of it is even more grueling . I hope we can give athletes more grace because they 're human first ! " Link Copied !

Evelyn Hockstein/Reuters It was truly a tale of two halves here in the second quarterfinal of the men 's basketball tournament . Australia and Serbia , with rosters dotted with NBA talent , played the most dramatic game of this tournament so far on Tuesday , the Serbs eventually coming out on top 95-90 in overtime . The game started off with Australia on an absolute tear , led by the hot hand of Miami Heat player Patty Mills . His 20 points in the first half helped pace the Aussies to a huge lead as Nikola Jokic and company could not buy a bucket for huge stretches of the first half . But the Serbs turned the momentum somewhat as the first half came to a close and then started off the third quarter on fire . A massive third quarter run brought them even and then ahead as the Bercy Arena in Paris exploded with noise . The Aussies would n't wilt in the face of that run and the fourth quarter was a back-and-forth affairs that stayed tight throughout . Jokic and Bogdan Bogdanovic took over the offense for the Serbs while Josh Giddey carried to load for his team , ending with 25 points . The Serbs looked to have done enough , but were only able to get their lead to 2 points with seconds to play . Mills , who was largely quiet in the second half , came up huge with a prayer of a shot that fell with 1.4 seconds to play , sending the game into overtime . The extra 5 minutes was a heavyweight fight of punches and counterpunches that would eventually be settled by Jokic hitting one of his trademark fallaway jumpers in the low post over an out-stretched defenders hand . A steal on the ensuing inbounds pass and two more free throws from Bogdanovic sealed the win for the Serbs . " Full credit to what Serbia was able to do , get us out of our comfort zone , " Mills said postgame . " And in international basketball , once you lose that momentum , it 's hard to get it back . Maybe not enough in the tank at the end of the day . " We 're playing against world-class individuals , world-class teams , world-class coaches . And this is why you play international basketball . It 's a different sport than any other league around the world . It brings the best out of everyone . " The 35-year-old has had some huge moments for the Boomers at these Games and was asked about his game-tying shot . " You live for those moments . Down two , as a little kid in the backyard , underneath the clothes line in Australia , you imagine yourself as a little kid in those moments being able to hit a big shot at an Olympic Games . We gave ourselves a chance , at the end of the day , it was n't our day . " The Serbs go through to play the winner of USA-Brazil later on tonight .

" Athletes as well as viewers are getting accustomed to a new system World Athletics has introduced for the first time at the Paris Olympics . The so called repechage round allows athletes " who do not qualify by place in round one heats " to essentially have a second chance to qualify for the semis . Previously , automatic qualifiers and the next fastest overall times would make it through round one . Now , everyone has the opportunity to come back and compete again in the repechage round . Only athletes who made a false start or did not finish are excluded from the repechage round . " The new format means that every athlete competing in the events with a repechage round will have at least two races at the Olympic Games , " World Athletics said . The new system was introduced to all individual track events from 200 meters to 1500 meters , including all hurdles event . The new track and field system for this Olympics resembles the repechage round in rowing events where non-automatic qualifiers also get a second chance to qualify to the semifinals . Other sports like judo and wrestling feature repechage rounds as well . CNN 's Sam Joseph contributed to this post . Link Copied !

I mean that 's the fastest man in the world , probably the coolest title you can possible have as a person , but I think that 's part of what makes the Olympics special , " he says . Duplantis said he 's not currently thinking about breaking the world record again , but added he is " very hungry " and " motivated " to keep hunting for more success . Link Copied !

Benoit Tessier/Reuters The men 's speed climbing heats are not 15 minutes old but already we 've seen the Olympic record broken several times . Perhaps that 's not a huge surprise given this is only the second time that speed climbing has appeared at the Olympics after its debut in Tokyo three years ago . Indonesia 's Veddriq Leonardo is the latest to set a new best at the Games , flying up the wall in a world-record-tying time of 4.79 seconds . Prior to that , Kazakhstan 's Amir Maimuratov and USA 's Sam Watson , who also has the world record in this event , were among those setting Olympic records . In Tokyo , athletes competed in three climbing disciplines -- speed , lead , and bouldering -- for one set of medals . But in Paris , the speed event , considered more of a specialized form of climbing , has been made into a separate category . Quite simply , it requires athletes to get to the top of a 15-meter wall as quickly as possible while competing in a head-to-head format . Link Copied !

Patrick Smith/Getty Images India 's Neeraj Chopra has breezed through to the men 's javelin final after an impressive qualification round . The 26-year-old qualified in first place with a season-best throw of 89.34m . " It was a good throw . Maybe the biggest ever in qualifying for me . All the throwers look in good shape . The final will be a really good competition for sure , " he said after qualifying . Chopra will be looking to add yet another medal to his growing list of achievements in Paris , as he continues to cement himself as one of the brightest talents in track and field . After winning Olympic gold in Tokyo three years ago -- the first Asian athlete to do so in the javelin -- Chopra was crowned world champion in Budapest last year , becoming the first Indian to win a world title in a track and field event of any kind . It perhaps comes as no surprise , given his historic career to date , that the understated athlete has proven a hit back in India . " My biggest motivation is that I always go out to do my best because I know I have not reached my peak . I am not yet as good as I would like to be technically or in distance , so I want to improve and throw further , " he said after making the final . " And I want to set an example for other Indian athletes so that we can compete here with the best countries in athletics . " Chopra spoke to CNN Sport before action got underway in Paris .

Kukuk was the only one to produce a clean run once again in the jump-off , finishing with a time of 38.34 seconds . " I still need some time to realize it . It 's just so emotional right now , " Kukuk said . " The most important people in my life are here today . My mum is watching from upstairs . It 's very emotional for me .

That stifling defense and terrible shooting from the Greeks have allowed the Germans to take their first double-digit lead of this contest . The reigning Olympic champion and heavy favorite to retain her title , Yui Susaki , was stunned in the first round of the women 's freestyle 50kg wrestling event by Vinesh Phogat of India . Susaki , who was the top seed in the event and who had never previously lost an international bout at senior level , lost on points 3-2 to Phogat . Susaki scored one technical point in the first period whereas Phogat picked up none . However in the second period , the Japanese wrestler could only pick up one more point while her Indian opponent picked up three . It is a huge shock as Susaki had romped to the Olympic gold three years ago in Tokyo without conceding a single point . She is also the first wrestler in history to achieve a " grand slam " in the sport -- becoming world champion at U15s , U17s , U20s , U23s , senior and Olympic level . Susaki still has a chance of competing for a bronze medal via the repechage if Phogat reaches the final . Phogat will now face Oksana Livach of Ukraine in the quarterfinals . Link Copied !

World Aquatics later confirmed that it made the decision , in collaboration with Games organizers , to cancel the session due to " water quality concerns . " " The water quality review showed E. coli levels ranged from 326 to 517 ( considered ' very good ' to ' good ' ) at the four collection points taken on 5 August between 5:00 and 6:00 a.m , " the statement said . " However , Enterococci levels exceeded World Aquatics maximum thresholds during the morning review . The latest Enterococci samples ( taken between 12:30 and 13:20 on 4 August ) showed levels exceeding the maximum acceptable World Aquatics thresholds . " A further four water quality tests were held today , with one failing to meet the governing body 's standards . A second familiarization session is set to be held tomorrow , provided that water quality levels meet the required levels . The statement added that Paris 2024 organizers and World Aquatics " remain confident that the Marathon Swimming competitions on 8 and 9 August will proceed as planned . " This is not the first training session in the Seine to be scrapped since the start of the Games . Familiarization events for both men 's and women 's triathlon as well as the mixed triathlon relay race were also canceled due to the river 's water quality levels .

" There are people who will continue to talk nonsense , who will continue to want to explain that it 's not true ... Enough with fake news ... It wo n't spoil our pleasure because we know what we 've done , " Hidalgo said while speaking to RMC Sport . " We 're so happy that the Seine has been cleaned up , that we can swim , after all the mockery and controversy , " she said , adding that it 's time to " enjoy and realize that a decontaminated river will change our lives . " " After receiving the results of the water quality tests of the samples collected on August 5 between 5am and 6.30am , World Triathlon stands by its decision to go ahead with the triathlon races as scheduled , " the sport 's governing body said in a statement . " Three of the four values for E.Coli were considered ' very good ' , a fourth one was ' good ' . For Enterococci , three were writhing the norms whilst one was slightly above the threshold but it was taken outside the swim course of the mixed relay . " Meanwhile , Team USA triathlete Morgan Pearson said lessons about water safety levels could be learned from the experience in Paris .

Monday started with a dramatic triathlon . Germany took home the Olympic gold medal in the mixed relay triathlon after a late comeback by Laura Lindemann helped overcome a 12-second deficit to help the Germans get the win . The USA defending its silver medal from Tokyo and Great Britain picked up the bronze in a photo finish in front of the packed Paris streets . The build up of the race was dominated by ongoing discussions around the safety of the River Seine . The action then moved to the gym , where Simone Biles was aiming to go for her fourth and fifth gold medals in Paris . Instead , in the women 's floor exercise , Brazil 's Rebeca Andrade won the gold , with Biles winning her 11th medal with a silver and Jordan Chiles taking home the bronze medal . Biles had fallen off the beam earlier in the day and then struggled with another fall during her warm up . She took to the floor with her left calf strapped with tape . Alice D'Amato 's sterling routine won her the gold medal in the women 's balance beam competition , a final that was also marked by disappointing performances from some of the sport 's top stars , who struggled to stay on the beam . On the track , there was an early huge upset when Molly Caudery from Team Great Britain failed to clear 4.55 meters in the women 's pole vault qualification round . She will not be in Wednesday 's final . The winners of the men 's and women 's 100-meter sprints -- Noah Lyles and Julien Alfred cruised into the finals of the 200-meter sprint . A frantic finish in the women 's 5,000-meter final saw Kenyan Beatrice Chebet streak away from her compatriot and two-time Olympic medalist Faith Kipyegon in the closing stages . Kipyegon endured some drama after the race . She was initially disqualified and then appealed the decision . Two hours after the race was over , she was reinstated , taking the silver . Great Britain 's Keely Hodgkinson led from the front to win the women 's 800-meter final , upgrading the silver medal she won at the Tokyo Olympics . American discus thrower Valarie Allman struck gold for the second consecutive Olympic Games . Her best throw of the day went 69.50 meters , more than half a meter better than her gold medal throw in Tokyo in 2021 . And Sweden 's Mondo Duplantis won the gold again in the men 's pole vault . Not satisfied with just taking the gold , Duplantis then beat his own world record , raising the bar to 6.25 meters . And in the nightcap , the 3x3 basketball tournament had a breakout moment with thrilling finals in both the men 's and women 's gold matches .

It was the final act of a sweltering evening in Paris ' Stade de France on Monday , Duplantis once again underlining his complete dominance in this event by breaking the record for the ninth time in his career . After failing on his first two attempts at the record , Duplantis crept over the bar on his third , springing to his feet and running to the stands to embrace his family . " I have n't processed how fantastic that moment was , " said the 24-year-old . " It 's one of those things that do n't really feel real , such an out-of-body experience . It 's still hard to kind of land right now . " What can I say ? I just broke a world record at the Olympics , biggest possible stage for a pole vaulter . The biggest dream since I was a kid was to break the world record at the Olympics , and I 've been able to do that in front of the most ridiculous crowd I 've ever competed in front of . " Duplantis had wrapped up the gold medal long before his world record clearance , successfully defending his title from the Tokyo Olympics and adding to his three world championship crowns . A heartwarming display of sportsmanship by two American gymnasts on Monday won praise from fans in a viral moment that lit up social media and is likely to become another enduring image of the Paris Olympics . It all happened when Brazilian gymnastics gold medalist Rebeca Andrade approached the podium for the medal ceremony following a women 's floor final full of twists and turns . Showing no hard feelings , American duo Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles turned to Andrade from the lower sections of the podium and bowed to the Brazilian , who raised her arms in triumph . The golden moment , which also marked the first all-Black Olympics gymnastics podium , touched hearts on social media . " This is everything , " said a post on the Olympics ' official X , formerly known as Twitter , account underneath a photo of the moment that has been viewed more than 26 million times . Here are the most compelling photos we 've seen from these Olympics so far .

CNN is tracking the countries in the race for the most medals in Paris at the 2024 Summer Olympic Games . Check back throughout the two weeks of events for the number of gold medals by country , as well as top three countries by overall medals . Here 's where the medal count stands now : Link Copied ! Monday marked the last day of gymnastics competition at the Paris Olympics -- and it was a day full of dramatic twists and turns . It was unclear if Biles was going to make it through her floor routine , having fallen off the beam earlier in the day then struggling with another fall during her warm up . She took to the floor with her left calf strapped with tape . The Eurosport commentary said it was " quite unusual " to see so many gymnasts botch their landings and lose their grip on the bar , putting it down to perhaps a lack of concentration or fatigue at the end of the competition . Japan 's Shinnosuke Oka won gold in that competition -- his third in Paris . Alice D'Amato 's sterling routine won her the gold medal in the women 's balance beam competition , a final that was also marked by disappointing performances from some of the sport 's top stars , who struggled to stay on the beam . In other events : Climbing record : Aleksandra Miroslaw broke her own speed climbing world record twice in one day this Monday . Athletes qualify for pole vault : A crowded women 's pole vault final is set for Wednesday after 20 athletes made it through the qualification round . None of the competitors needed to reach the qualifying standard of 4.70m , as lower heights proved to be more than enough . South Korean badminton win : An Se-young of South Korea won the gold medal in the women 's individual badminton event , beating China 's He Bing Jiao in the final . Denmark 's Viktor Axelsen successfully defended his men 's singles title on Monday , beating Kunlavut Vitidsarn of Thailand . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate that would induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'jumps out to 16-5 lead' does not involve a causee or a VP2[-ing] predicate, and the context is about a sports event, not the grammatical construction in question.

The US Women 's Soccer Team advances to its first Olympic final since 2012 London after defeating Germany 1-0 in extra time on Tuesday . LeBron James and Team USA rolled over Brazil , 122-87 , on their to the semifinals of the men 's basketball tournament . Earlier , France defeated Canada 82-73 to advance to the semifinals . Nikola Jokic led Serbia into the semifinals of the Olympics after an overtime win over Australia . World champion Germany beat Greece to ease its way into the semifinals ; the Germans will face France Thursday . The marathon swimming familiarization event was canceled Tuesday due to " water quality concerns . " The women 's marathon swim is set to take place on Thursday with the men 's event being held the following day in the River Seine . For the third time , the American and Brazilian women 's soccer teams will face off for gold as Brazil beat reigning World Cup champions Spain in their semifinal 4-2 . The US beat Brazil 20 years ago in 2004 , and again in 2008 . They faced off for the CONCACAF W Gold Cup just five months ago where the US won 1-0 . Now they 're set for the third edition of this epic matchup , and Brazil will get the legendary Marta back from suspension . Brazil are in this position in large part due to Spain 's many mistakes , and heroics by their goalkeeper , Lorena . After going up 2-0 in the first half , Adriana tacked on a third goal in the 70th minute by capitalizing on another Spanish error . Adriana had kicked the ball into the crossbar , but Spain were unable to clear the ball and she headed in for a goal . Spain 's 85th minute goal to break the clean sheet went in the scorebook as an own goal , but Salma Paralluelo deserves the credit . Unfortunately for her , Kerolin reestablished Brazil 's three-goal lead on a breakaway minutes later . Paralluelo added another goal in the 12th minute of stoppage time , and nearly completed a hat trick but it would not be enough to make up for early blunders . Brazil 's win was official following a whopping 15 minutes of stoppage time thanks to numerous injuries and substitutions . Spain will play Germany for bronze on Friday at 9 a.m . ET , and Brazil will play the US for gold on Saturday at 11 a.m . ET . Link Copied ! From CNN 's Kyle Feldscher in Paris Team USA huddles after their victory against Brazil in Paris , on August 6 .

Team USA just trounced Brazil , 122-87 , as they move toward a semifinal matchup with Serbia . It 's a rematch of the two teams ' opening game of the Olympics , which Team USA won 110-84 . Led by Devin Booker 's 18 points , Anthony Edwards ' 17 and Joel Embiid 's answer to critics online and boo-birds in the crowd , it was just more proof that it is impossible to game plan for this team of stars . Sure , LeBron James and Kevin Durant can have off nights by their standards , but there 's always another NBA All-Star who 's ready to fill in that gap . James spent much of the third and fourth quarters in the locker room after taking an inadvertent elbow to the face from a Brazilian player . He went down to one knee quickly and was eventually guided to the bench by a trainer . He received treatment on the bench before going to the locker room area . He would return and appeared to be OK as the game wound down . Things are looking good for this team as it looks for its fifth Olympic gold medal in a row . Link Copied !

Imane ! Imane ! " The fifth seed in the weight class was in control for all three rounds . After being announced the winner , Khelif waited for Suwannapheng to acknowledge the crowd before she held the ropes for the Thai boxer to exit the ring . The Algerian then gleefully smiled and danced to celebrate the victory . She began taking selfies with fans in attendance after speaking to the international press before departing to the crowd chanting her name . Khelif is sure to be a big crowd favorite on Friday .

Coach Rana Reider gestures during a training session in the Stadio dei Marmi ahead of an athletics meeting in Rome , on May 15 . Alessandra Tarantino/AP/FILE Rana Reider , the personal coach for track stars Andre De Grasse and Lamont Marcell Jacobs , both of whom are competing at Paris 2024 , had his Olympic credentials revoked by the Canadian Olympic Committee ( COC ) on Monday . The COC said the decision to deny the coach 's access to the Games was based on " new information about the appropriateness of Mr. Reider remaining accredited by Team Canada . " Reider 's attorney , Ryan Stevens , said in a statement Monday that the coach was " unjustly stripped of his Olympic coaching credential , based on years-old claims in a lawsuit by former athletes seeking financial gain . " Both De Grasse , a three-time Olympian for Canada , and Jacobs , who represents Italy , list Reider as their personal coach on their official Olympics bio pages . An American coach , Reider had previously been under investigation for alleged sexual misconduct by the US Center for SafeSport . The COC said Monday the committee had issued accreditation to Reider " based on the understanding that his probation with the US Center for Safe Sport ended in May this year , that he had no other suspensions or sanctions , and otherwise met our eligibility requirements . " Stevens reiterated what the COC said about Reider not having any sanction against him by the US Center for SafeSport . Stevens also said there is no sanction against the coach by USA Track & Field or Athletics Canada . " The only investigative body , the Center , that has looked into the years-old claims closed its investigation in 2023 and dismissed the large majority of the claims , " Stevens said . " Coach Reider successfully completed a probation period that ended in May . " CNN has reached out to the US Center for SafeSport for comment . Reider , is listed as a defendant in three lawsuits in Broward County , Florida , accusing the coach of " sexual and emotional abuses . " De Grasse is set to race in a 200m semifinal on Wednesday with the final slated for Thursday . He won gold in this event at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo . De Grasse failed to qualify for the 100m final in Paris . Jacobs placed fifth in the men 's 100m event in Paris and is set to race again in the men 's 4x100m relay . Team Italy had no comment regarding the Reider situation . CNN 's Wayne Sterling contributed to this report . Link Copied !

Link Copied ! From CNN 's Penelope Jennings Greece 's Milti ? dis Tent ? glou competes in the men 's long jump final in Paris , on August 6 . Angelos Zymaras/SOOC/AFP/Getty Images Greece 's Milti ? dis Tent ? glou becomes the second athlete ever to win back-to-back long jump titles -- the only other person to do it was Carl Lewis , who won four in a row . Tent ? glou grabbed the gold with an 8.48-meter jump . " It 's a great achievement . I am very happy , but very tired . It 's OK . My distance was not bad , not good . ... I did n't think my jump was going to be enough because the other guys are very talented and capable . I was pushing throughout to do more , " Tent ? glou said . When queried about his accomplishment of being the second man to achieve two Olympic long jump titles in a row , he said : " I am the second guy but there are many others who have won the world championships many times but they were unlucky in the Olympics . With the Olympics you have to be lucky because it is one final every four years , and it is difficult . " The Greek though sees himself heading to the next couple of Summer Games in order to match Lewis ' feat of four in a row . " Of course I 'll go for three in a row . And four , we 'll see . I will try , I will try . I am 26 now , so I will be 30 in LA , so it 's possible . " She 's done it -- Amit Elor has won the gold medal in the women 's 68kg freestyle ! It 's an astonishing run to a medal because she 's competing out of her normal weight class . " It was one of the best moments in my life . I think I 'm going to remember it for my entire life . It 's one of the best feelings in the world , " Elor said post-win . " And when I experience something like that , it just reminds me that everything is worth it . All the hard days , the grind , it 's all worth it -- for moments like these . " She made her name in the 72kg weight class , winning the 2022 World Wrestling Championships -- becoming the youngest US wrestler , male or female , world champion aged 18 -- before successfully defending her crown a year later . But the 72kg weight class is n't part of the Olympic Games , meaning she needed to cut down to compete . And she has adjusted to life at a lighter weight seamlessly . Remarkably , she won her first two matches with a combined score of 18-2 before going one better and beating North Korea 's Pak Sol Gum in the semifinal in just one minute and 44 seconds . Elor added : " I 'm still in disbelief . I think I have a little bit of impostor syndrome . Because , like I said yesterday ( Monday ) , I still feel like that little kid who just started wrestling , but I just became an Olympic champion . So all I have to say is , trust in the process , believe in yourself and do n't be afraid to try things . Because if you do n't try at all , you automatically lose . " L ? pez 's Olympic career started at Athens 2004 and he has gone on to win the gold medal in Beijing , London , Rio , Tokyo and now Paris . He even took a break from wrestling last September after his father passed away and only recently started training again -- but he still looked utterly unbeatable in Paris . Acosta 's story is equally as remarkable . Born in Cuba , he represented his home nation until the 2015 Pan American Championships in Santiago , Chile , where he remained after the games were over . Given L ? pez was Cuba 's dominant wrestler , Acosta -- who is close friends with L ? pez and was his training partner for nine years -- rarely got the opportunity to represent Cuba on the biggest stage . He has previously spoken about how he would be in tears watching wrestlers win at previous Olympics , knowing he could have easily beaten them . He worked as a security guard for two years in Chile before being granted citizenship and narrowly missed out on bronze in Tokyo . Now , he has realized his lifelong dream of standing on an Olympic podium as he wins the silver medal . After the fight , L ? pez takes off his shoes and leaves them in the middle of the ring , indicating his retirement from the sport . L ? pez and his coach are in tears .

Simone Biles put on a show at the Paris Olympics and walked away another three gold medals and a silver to add to her extraordinary collection . But the road to get to Paris was n't easy . At Tokyo 2020 , Biles started suffering from the ' twisties , ' a mysterious phenomenon that suddenly means a gymnast is no longer able to do a twisting skill she 's done thousands of times before . Biles said that made her participation and performances in Paris all the sweeter . " It was important to me because nobody forced me to be out there on that stage , " she told CNN 's Coy Wire . " I solely did it for myself and I 'm in a really good spot mentally and physically . So doing this for just me meant the world .

Despite overcoming them , she admits that doubts sometimes still begin to creep in . " Obviously , you always have those thoughts coming into the back of your head , but just trying to stay as positive as possible , going back to what I know , thinking about my therapy tactics -- and it worked , " she added . To make her silver medal performance on the floor exercise even more impressive , Biles arrived to the interview wearing a protective boot on her left foot .

Led by Isa ? a Cordinier 's 20 points , the French team jumped out to an incredible start that set the crowd at the Bercy Arena into a frenzy . The din overpowering throughout the night , but the play eventually settled into a less-frantic form of basketball as the French kept the pressure on the Canadians and carried a double-digit lead into halftime . The French maintained that lead through the third quarter , but a quick run by the Canadians narrowed the lead to six in the early part of the fourth quarter . From there , the game tightened considerably . The Canadians made it a five-point game at one point , but they were never able to get closer than that . The dagger came when Evan Fournier , who had started the game on the bench in a gamble by French coach Vincent Collet , ended a lengthy French possession with a dagger three-pointer to rebuild the lead to eight with 55 seconds to go .

Adam Pretty/Getty Images At Rio 2016 , American swimming star Simone Manuel became the first Black woman swimmer to earn an individual gold at the Olympics , winning the 100 meter freestyle . But things took an unexpected turn just when she was reaching her prime . Manuel was diagnosed with overtraining syndrome in 2021 ; the swimmer was unable to recuperate after training , her body was overcome with constant nausea and fatigue . She thought her career might be over after a disappointing Tokyo Olympics where she only won a team bronze in the 4x100m freestyle relay . She did n't know if she could go on . " I just needed to breath , " Manuel told CNN Sport . She walked away from the sport she loves for five months to find clarity -- and she found it . Manuel learned to live with her condition and found the inner strength to persevere . She worked her way back to the Olympic stage and is now leaving Paris with two silver relay medals brining her career total to seven . " It really is a miracle , " she added . Her impressive comeback story comes with her strong message of the importance of mental health and caring for oneself . " I really have a passion for swimming , " she said . " It 's what I love to do and I think I felt like I had more to accomplish in the sport and I 've always said that I was n't going to quit until I felt like I gave the sport everything I had . " She also tells CNN about her concern for the lack of understanding -- by casual fans and the media -- of how stressful the Olympic stage is for athletes . Manuel quoted a post she made on X , formerly known as Twitter , in 2021 following Caeleb Dressel not qualifying for a swimming final and being emotionally overcome after missing out on qualifying for a final . " I 'll forever stand by this . Interviews/recordings/ photography in these moments really are n't necessary , " Manuel posted .

Evelyn Hockstein/Reuters It was truly a tale of two halves here in the second quarterfinal of the men 's basketball tournament . Australia and Serbia , with rosters dotted with NBA talent , played the most dramatic game of this tournament so far on Tuesday , the Serbs eventually coming out on top 95-90 in overtime . The game started off with Australia on an absolute tear , led by the hot hand of Miami Heat player Patty Mills . His 20 points in the first half helped pace the Aussies to a huge lead as Nikola Jokic and company could not buy a bucket for huge stretches of the first half . But the Serbs turned the momentum somewhat as the first half came to a close and then started off the third quarter on fire . A massive third quarter run brought them even and then ahead as the Bercy Arena in Paris exploded with noise . The Aussies would n't wilt in the face of that run and the fourth quarter was a back-and-forth affairs that stayed tight throughout . Jokic and Bogdan Bogdanovic took over the offense for the Serbs while Josh Giddey carried to load for his team , ending with 25 points . The Serbs looked to have done enough , but were only able to get their lead to 2 points with seconds to play . Mills , who was largely quiet in the second half , came up huge with a prayer of a shot that fell with 1.4 seconds to play , sending the game into overtime . The extra 5 minutes was a heavyweight fight of punches and counterpunches that would eventually be settled by Jokic hitting one of his trademark fallaway jumpers in the low post over an out-stretched defenders hand . A steal on the ensuing inbounds pass and two more free throws from Bogdanovic sealed the win for the Serbs . " Full credit to what Serbia was able to do , get us out of our comfort zone , " Mills said postgame . " And in international basketball , once you lose that momentum , it 's hard to get it back . Maybe not enough in the tank at the end of the day . " We 're playing against world-class individuals , world-class teams , world-class coaches . And this is why you play international basketball . It 's a different sport than any other league around the world . It brings the best out of everyone . " The 35-year-old has had some huge moments for the Boomers at these Games and was asked about his game-tying shot . " You live for those moments . Down two , as a little kid in the backyard , underneath the clothes line in Australia , you imagine yourself as a little kid in those moments being able to hit a big shot at an Olympic Games . We gave ourselves a chance , at the end of the day , it was n't our day . " The Serbs go through to play the winner of USA-Brazil later on tonight .

Australia is shooting an absolutely blistering 79% from the field , including 4-for-6 from beyond the arc . Serbia , meanwhile , is having trouble buying a bucket and is shooting 36% .

His hot start helped pace the Boomers to an early lead . Nikola Jokic is so far mostly quiet for the Europeans , who have n't really gotten into any kind of offensive flow yet .

Meanwhile , Australia 's Patty Mills just knocked down multiple threes as the first quarter comes to a close and the Serbians are reeling . Mills has 12 points in just 10 minutes of play .

Australia and Serbia , led by three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic , are about to tip off here and the winner of this game gets either the USA or Brazil in the semifinals later on this week . Truly , you get a sense of how international basketball has become here in Paris .

Michael Reaves/Getty Images Much was expected of Janja Garnbret before action began in Paris and the Slovenian certainly has n't disappointed so far . The climber earned a near-perfect score during the bouldering semifinals on Tuesday , totalling 99.6 out of a possible 100 . " It should be 100 , " she said afterwards . " The first two problems went smoothly . Third one , it was basically just a little slip at the beginning , but otherwise no problems . " And then the fourth one , it was causing me some problems for some reason , and I still do n't know why . " I have to ask my coach what I did wrong because I just did n't feel too comfortable , but I did it my way in the end , which was also great . " Garnbret must now keep her concentration for the lead semifinals on Thursday . The scores from both lead and bouldering will be combined to determine who makes the final . Sport climbing at Paris has been a hit yet again , after making its debut at the Tokyo Games three years ago . " It 's absolutely phenomenal , " Garnbret said when asked about the crowds in Paris . " Tokyo was , of course , way different : no crowd , no cheering , only fellow athletes and coaches . Here , I already felt like I 'm in the finals today because the crowd was cheering so loud and , of course , it 's French . I 'm not French , but I still felt support . " Athletes as well as viewers are getting accustomed to a new system World Athletics has introduced for the first time at the Paris Olympics . The so called repechage round allows athletes " who do not qualify by place in round one heats " to essentially have a second chance to qualify for the semis . Previously , automatic qualifiers and the next fastest overall times would make it through round one . Now , everyone has the opportunity to come back and compete again in the repechage round . Only athletes who made a false start or did not finish are excluded from the repechage round . " The new format means that every athlete competing in the events with a repechage round will have at least two races at the Olympic Games , " World Athletics said . The new system was introduced to all individual track events from 200 meters to 1500 meters , including all hurdles event . The new track and field system for this Olympics resembles the repechage round in rowing events where non-automatic qualifiers also get a second chance to qualify to the semifinals . Other sports like judo and wrestling feature repechage rounds as well . CNN 's Sam Joseph contributed to this post . Link Copied !

Patrick Smith/Getty Images On Monday night at the Stade de France , Swedish pole vaulter Mondo Duplantis successfully defended his Olympic title and notched up another world record in the process . It was a moment he had been gearing up to his entire life . " I had this feeling of peace and confidence that is hard to explain , but for it to work out the way it did is unbelievable really , " he told CNN Sport 's Amanda Davies the morning after his record-breaking feat . " When I stepped on the track , I just felt like this wave of calmness . I was able to get into the state of ' This is just pole vaulting , this has just been what I 've been doing since I was a kid . ' " The 24-year-old keeps rewriting the history books . He 's raised the world record six centimeters in the the last four-and-a-half years since he first broke it . It previously took 23 years to move it that distance . His achievements have been recognized by some of the world 's best athletes , including the recently crowned men 's 100m champion Noah Lyles . " Getting the respect from Noah Lyles is , of course , super cool . I mean that 's the fastest man in the world , probably the coolest title you can possible have as a person , but I think that 's part of what makes the Olympics special , " he says . Duplantis said he 's not currently thinking about breaking the world record again , but added he is " very hungry " and " motivated " to keep hunting for more success . Link Copied !

Perhaps that 's not a huge surprise given this is only the second time that speed climbing has appeared at the Olympics after its debut in Tokyo three years ago . Indonesia 's Veddriq Leonardo is the latest to set a new best at the Games , flying up the wall in a world-record-tying time of 4.79 seconds . Prior to that , Kazakhstan 's Amir Maimuratov and USA 's Sam Watson , who also has the world record in this event , were among those setting Olympic records . In Tokyo , athletes competed in three climbing disciplines -- speed , lead , and bouldering -- for one set of medals . But in Paris , the speed event , considered more of a specialized form of climbing , has been made into a separate category . Quite simply , it requires athletes to get to the top of a 15-meter wall as quickly as possible while competing in a head-to-head format . Link Copied !

The final will be a really good competition for sure , " he said after qualifying . Chopra will be looking to add yet another medal to his growing list of achievements in Paris , as he continues to cement himself as one of the brightest talents in track and field . After winning Olympic gold in Tokyo three years ago -- the first Asian athlete to do so in the javelin -- Chopra was crowned world champion in Budapest last year , becoming the first Indian to win a world title in a track and field event of any kind . It perhaps comes as no surprise , given his historic career to date , that the understated athlete has proven a hit back in India . " My biggest motivation is that I always go out to do my best because I know I have not reached my peak . I am not yet as good as I would like to be technically or in distance , so I want to improve and throw further , " he said after making the final .

That stifling defense and terrible shooting from the Greeks have allowed the Germans to take their first double-digit lead of this contest . The reigning Olympic champion and heavy favorite to retain her title , Yui Susaki , was stunned in the first round of the women 's freestyle 50kg wrestling event by Vinesh Phogat of India . Susaki , who was the top seed in the event and who had never previously lost an international bout at senior level , lost on points 3-2 to Phogat . Susaki scored one technical point in the first period whereas Phogat picked up none . However in the second period , the Japanese wrestler could only pick up one more point while her Indian opponent picked up three . It is a huge shock as Susaki had romped to the Olympic gold three years ago in Tokyo without conceding a single point . She is also the first wrestler in history to achieve a " grand slam " in the sport -- becoming world champion at U15s , U17s , U20s , U23s , senior and Olympic level . Susaki still has a chance of competing for a bronze medal via the repechage if Phogat reaches the final . Phogat will now face Oksana Livach of Ukraine in the quarterfinals . Link Copied !

" However , Enterococci levels exceeded World Aquatics maximum thresholds during the morning review . The latest Enterococci samples ( taken between 12:30 and 13:20 on 4 August ) showed levels exceeding the maximum acceptable World Aquatics thresholds .

Monday started with a dramatic triathlon . Germany took home the Olympic gold medal in the mixed relay triathlon after a late comeback by Laura Lindemann helped overcome a 12-second deficit to help the Germans get the win . The USA defending its silver medal from Tokyo and Great Britain picked up the bronze in a photo finish in front of the packed Paris streets . The build up of the race was dominated by ongoing discussions around the safety of the River Seine . The action then moved to the gym , where Simone Biles was aiming to go for her fourth and fifth gold medals in Paris . Instead , in the women 's floor exercise , Brazil 's Rebeca Andrade won the gold , with Biles winning her 11th medal with a silver and Jordan Chiles taking home the bronze medal . Biles had fallen off the beam earlier in the day and then struggled with another fall during her warm up . She took to the floor with her left calf strapped with tape . Alice D'Amato 's sterling routine won her the gold medal in the women 's balance beam competition , a final that was also marked by disappointing performances from some of the sport 's top stars , who struggled to stay on the beam . On the track , there was an early huge upset when Molly Caudery from Team Great Britain failed to clear 4.55 meters in the women 's pole vault qualification round . She will not be in Wednesday 's final . The winners of the men 's and women 's 100-meter sprints -- Noah Lyles and Julien Alfred cruised into the finals of the 200-meter sprint . A frantic finish in the women 's 5,000-meter final saw Kenyan Beatrice Chebet streak away from her compatriot and two-time Olympic medalist Faith Kipyegon in the closing stages . Kipyegon endured some drama after the race . She was initially disqualified and then appealed the decision . Two hours after the race was over , she was reinstated , taking the silver .

Ed Sloane/AP Tahiti local Kauli Vaast won gold for France in the men 's surfing event on Monday while Caroline Marks of Team USA won the women 's competition . Vaast , who is from Teahupo'o where the event is being hosted , began the final against Australian Jack Robinson with an almost perfect 9.5 score on his first run before an 8.0 which sealed the victory . " It 's really something special for me to win the Olympics at home , " he told Olympics.com , " on the best wave in the world . We had crazy waves today in the final -- it was just insane . " Vaast , 22 , was cheered on by the majority of the locals during the competition , and after claiming gold , it was a unique scene with many in the water and on land celebrating his victory . " I had a great connection with the ocean since the beginning of the contest , " Vaast said . " It comes from a lot of work , a lot of time spent in the water . I have spent a really long time in the water in lots of conditions and it was long and hard , but I kept going and never give up and then , yeah , it paid off . " I feel lucky to finally get the rhythm into a big contest like this .

Naomi Baker/Getty Images She only recently turned 25 , but Yui Susaki is already a reigning Olympic gold medalist and four-time world champion , and is widely touted as the best pound-for-pound freestyle wrestler in the world . Susaki -- all five feet ( 1.52 meters ) of her -- has never lost an international bout at senior level , and another dominant performance at the Paris Games could propel her into the conversation over the greatest of all time . So how does she do it ? " There 's a concept in Japanese -- ' shin-gi-tai ' -- that encompasses the mental , technical and physical approach to life , " Susaki told CNN via video call between her grueling morning training sessions as she prepared for the Games . " When you get to the Olympics , the world 's highest stage , everyone 's shin-gi-tai is at similar levels . So to reach the top , you need your soul . Then your emotions are the last stretch -- you need to believe in yourself constantly . I always make sure to do that when I train . " Under the wing of long-time coach and wrestling legend Shoko Yoshimura , Susaki tore through her Olympic debut at the Covid-impacted Tokyo Games three years ago without conceding a single point in the women 's 50kg category . Known for her technical prowess and raw strength , Susaki has been labeled " untouchable " and a " gold medal machine " by commentators in the lead-up to Paris . She intends to defend her title -- but it does n't end there . " I 'm really looking forward to Paris as there will be a live audience this time . My first goal is to win gold and I will do my best to achieve my second consecutive Olympic victory , " Susaki , a native of Chiba prefecture , said . " Then Los Angeles ( 2028 ) , then Brisbane ( 2032 ) , so my goal is to win at the Olympics four times in a row .

From CNN 's George Ramsay in Paris ' Mondo ' Duplantis of Team Sweden competes during the men 's pole vault final at Stade de France on August 5 . Mehmet Murat Onel/Anadolu/Getty Images No one needs more proof that Mondo Duplantis is among the greatest athletes of this generation , but we get it almost every time he steps onto the runway . The Paris Olympic Games were no exception . Backed by a deafening roar from those in the stands , the Swedish pole vault star broke his own world record with a giant clearance of 6.25 meters at the third and final time of asking . It was the final act of a sweltering evening in Paris ' Stade de France on Monday , Duplantis once again underlining his complete dominance in this event by breaking the record for the ninth time in his career . After failing on his first two attempts at the record , Duplantis crept over the bar on his third , springing to his feet and running to the stands to embrace his family . " I have n't processed how fantastic that moment was , " said the 24-year-old . " It 's one of those things that do n't really feel real , such an out-of-body experience . It 's still hard to kind of land right now . " What can I say ? I just broke a world record at the Olympics , biggest possible stage for a pole vaulter . The biggest dream since I was a kid was to break the world record at the Olympics , and I 've been able to do that in front of the most ridiculous crowd I 've ever competed in front of . " Duplantis had wrapped up the gold medal long before his world record clearance , successfully defending his title from the Tokyo Olympics and adding to his three world championship crowns . A heartwarming display of sportsmanship by two American gymnasts on Monday won praise from fans in a viral moment that lit up social media and is likely to become another enduring image of the Paris Olympics . It all happened when Brazilian gymnastics gold medalist Rebeca Andrade approached the podium for the medal ceremony following a women 's floor final full of twists and turns . Showing no hard feelings , American duo Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles turned to Andrade from the lower sections of the podium and bowed to the Brazilian , who raised her arms in triumph . The golden moment , which also marked the first all-Black Olympics gymnastics podium , touched hearts on social media . " This is everything , " said a post on the Olympics ' official X , formerly known as Twitter , account underneath a photo of the moment that has been viewed more than 26 million times . Here are the most compelling photos we 've seen from these Olympics so far .

CNN is tracking the countries in the race for the most medals in Paris at the 2024 Summer Olympic Games . Check back throughout the two weeks of events for the number of gold medals by country , as well as top three countries by overall medals . Here 's where the medal count stands now : Link Copied ! Monday marked the last day of gymnastics competition at the Paris Olympics -- and it was a day full of dramatic twists and turns . It was unclear if Biles was going to make it through her floor routine , having fallen off the beam earlier in the day then struggling with another fall during her warm up . She took to the floor with her left calf strapped with tape . The Eurosport commentary said it was " quite unusual " to see so many gymnasts botch their landings and lose their grip on the bar , putting it down to perhaps a lack of concentration or fatigue at the end of the competition . Japan 's Shinnosuke Oka won gold in that competition -- his third in Paris . Alice D'Amato 's sterling routine won her the gold medal in the women 's balance beam competition , a final that was also marked by disappointing performances from some of the sport 's top stars , who struggled to stay on the beam .

A Canadian airline has been humiliated in court by two passengers who exposed their lies about the reason for a cancelled flight . Flair Airlines , in a bid to wriggle out of paying compensation when its 3:10 p.m. flight from Calgary to Vancouver was canceled on August 29 last year , blamed first a bird strike and then the weather . Suspicious passengers turned internet sleuths Olivia Donner and James Broadhurst did their own research and found no record of a bird strike on the Canadian Civil Aviation Daily Occurrence Reporting System ( CADORS ) . The budget airline then emailed Donner to blame the weather for the cancellation , insisting it did not have to pay compensation for factors outside its control . ' There is no evidence before me , other than Flair 's bare assertion , showing that a bird strike cancelled the flight , ' a tribunal judge ruled on Wednesday , ' Flair had the opportunity to provide evidence and submissions but did not do so .

The airline blamed a bird strike and later told the tribunal that the crew of the aircraft reported several bird strikes to the tower at the Vancouver airport as the plane touched down on its previous flight . But the airline could not explain why it was not reported as required , and could not supply the message it claimed one of its maintenance experts had sent to his bosses . The couple were booked on a 5 a.m. flight the following morning , eventually landing 14 hours after they were originally scheduled to .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes a situation where Mikel Merino has been left out of the travelling squad, but there is no verb (V1) followed by an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate that would indicate a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'left out of travelling squad' does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate and does not convey the required interpretations.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'make a career out of playing the game' involves an NP ('a career') as a complement of the complex preposition 'out of', and 'playing the game' is a gerund phrase modifying 'career'. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the sentence does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

IF anyone at Newport County AFC needs convincing of the merits of ' The Swansea Way ' then assistant head coach Dafydd Williams , who first watched the game at the Vetch Field , is the man for the job . Williams , who joined the Exiles last summer , has been given a promotion this summer to be head coach Nelson Jardim 's right-hand man . It is part of off-field changes driven by owner Huw Jenkins , who wants the club to steer their way out of financial troubles and become sustainable by adopting a similar model to the one he used to great success out west . Williams was there to see it all as a " North Bank hooligan ! " . The 31-year-old was raised in Llantrisant but his family are from Swansea , which led to him being a season ticket holder at the Vetch Field from 1998 . As a primary school child , Williams would watch the famous brush with relegation from the Football League in 2003 when a 4-2 win over Hull City on the last day saved the Swans . Just eight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Premier League , then lift the League Cup and play in Europe . The Swansea blueprint is being used in Newport : Jenkins has shaped the Exiles ' recruitment and coaching set-up in order to play in a similar possession-based way . " That model is something that I have grown up watching and have been a big supporter of , " said Williams . " There are different ways to play the game but this could be an exciting period to be a part of the club after what was achieved at Swansea City . " I saw the s**t times as well ! Rock bottom of the Football League . I grew up watching the Swans go from there to the Premier League . " In terms of the philosophy and style of play , there is a dramatic change here but it 's an exciting one . " We know that this model can be successful , it just simply requires a bit of patience in the transition because the change is so big . " That transition is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ backroom staff , supporters -- and it does require buy-in from all , because this is the direction that the club is going in . " It 's about everyone sticking together , and it 's down to us as coaches to make the transition as smooth as possible . " With shades of former County boss James Rowberry , Williams started his coaching career at the age of 17 -- " I realised quite young that I was n't going to make a career out of playing the game " -- and he went on to work at the Cardiff and Swansea academies . From there it was to Bristol Rovers where he spent most of his eight years at the club working with the under-18s and 21s . After that there was a spell as Gloucester City as an assistant , then Barry Town United before a chance came up in Newport . " I had a relationship with Graham Coughlan and Joe Dunne from Bristol Rovers , " said Williams about the former manager and assistant . " I was fortunate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and absolutely loved it -- I learnt an incredible amount from them and now I hope to keep developing . " Williams may be higher up on the staff list in the matchday programme but his role has n't changed dramatically since the arrive of Jardim as boss . " There is not an awful lot of difference , " he said . " It all depends on how the manager works and I was fortunate last year to be given quite a lot of responsibility as a first-team coach . " I was allowed to deliver sessions , plan various things and have a contribution towards what the manager and assistant wanted . " Naturally there is a little bit more responsibility and pressure in my current role , it 's a bit of a step up but not a huge one because of the contribution that I was able to have last season . " Williams will , however , now be the first man that the ' gaffer ' turns to in the dugout . " That 's definitely been the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Graham had Joe with me also in the mix , " he said , with goalkeeping coach Jim Hollman also a trusted assistant . Jardim has spearheaded the efforts to get the new systems and shapes in place for Whaddon Road on Saturday when the real stuff starts . But it has n't all be about tactics boards , analysis with Connor McGaharan or putting the miles in under the watchful eye of Scott Wickens . BOSS : County head coach Nelson Jardim ( Image : Huw Evans Agency ) Williams said : " We 've tried to achieve three things -- the physical condition of the players , introducing this style and also , because we have so many new players , it has been about the social aspect and bringing everyone together . " Nelson has been big on creating a positive environment given that there is a new style and there are so man new faces ; he very much takes a holistic approach where the individual comes first . " He has been great in getting his ideas across and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aligns with the chairman 's philosophy and views . " There is a transitional period and it 's up to us to ensure it 's a smooth one and we do it quickly with performances and results . " We 'll keep targets in house but want to be as successful as soon as possible , that 's why we are in the game . We fully believe doing things this way can bring success to the club . " And Williams does n't think that County will be the only ones keen to play possession rather than being pragmatic . " Look at the best teams last year , you had Stockport who play good football , MK Dons , Crawley , Notts County had a dip in form but that style brought them a lot of success earlier on , " said the coach . " League Two is 100 per cent changing in terms of style of play and the age profile of players .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'make a career out of playing the game' involves the verb 'make' with an NP object 'a career' and the prepositional phrase 'out of playing the game', but it does not involve a causee NP object that participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

IF anyone at Newport County AFC needs convincing of the merits of ' The Swansea Way ' then assistant head coach Dafydd Williams , who first watched the game at the Vetch Field , is the man for the job . Williams , who joined the Exiles last summer , has been given a promotion this summer to be head coach Nelson Jardim 's right-hand man . It is part of off-field changes driven by owner Huw Jenkins , who wants the club to steer their way out of financial troubles and become sustainable by adopting a similar model to the one he used to great success out west . Williams was there to see it all as a " North Bank hooligan ! " . The 31-year-old was raised in Llantrisant but his family are from Swansea , which led to him being a season ticket holder at the Vetch Field from 1998 . As a primary school child , Williams would watch the famous brush with relegation from the Football League in 2003 when a 4-2 win over Hull City on the last day saved the Swans . Just eight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Premier League , then lift the League Cup and play in Europe . The Swansea blueprint is being used in Newport : Jenkins has shaped the Exiles ' recruitment and coaching set-up in order to play in a similar possession-based way . " That model is something that I have grown up watching and have been a big supporter of , " said Williams . " There are different ways to play the game but this could be an exciting period to be a part of the club after what was achieved at Swansea City . " I saw the s**t times as well ! Rock bottom of the Football League . I grew up watching the Swans go from there to the Premier League . " In terms of the philosophy and style of play , there is a dramatic change here but it 's an exciting one . " We know that this model can be successful , it just simply requires a bit of patience in the transition because the change is so big . " That transition is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ backroom staff , supporters -- and it does require buy-in from all , because this is the direction that the club is going in . " It 's about everyone sticking together , and it 's down to us as coaches to make the transition as smooth as possible . " With shades of former County boss James Rowberry , Williams started his coaching career at the age of 17 -- " I realised quite young that I was n't going to make a career out of playing the game " -- and he went on to work at the Cardiff and Swansea academies . From there it was to Bristol Rovers where he spent most of his eight years at the club working with the under-18s and 21s . After that there was a spell as Gloucester City as an assistant , then Barry Town United before a chance came up in Newport . " I had a relationship with Graham Coughlan and Joe Dunne from Bristol Rovers , " said Williams about the former manager and assistant . " I was fortunate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and absolutely loved it -- I learnt an incredible amount from them and now I hope to keep developing . " Williams may be higher up on the staff list in the matchday programme but his role has n't changed dramatically since the arrive of Jardim as boss . " There is not an awful lot of difference , " he said . " It all depends on how the manager works and I was fortunate last year to be given quite a lot of responsibility as a first-team coach . " I was allowed to deliver sessions , plan various things and have a contribution towards what the manager and assistant wanted . " Naturally there is a little bit more responsibility and pressure in my current role , it 's a bit of a step up but not a huge one because of the contribution that I was able to have last season . " Williams will , however , now be the first man that the ' gaffer ' turns to in the dugout . " That 's definitely been the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Graham had Joe with me also in the mix , " he said , with goalkeeping coach Jim Hollman also a trusted assistant . Jardim has spearheaded the efforts to get the new systems and shapes in place for Whaddon Road on Saturday when the real stuff starts . But it has n't all be about tactics boards , analysis with Connor McGaharan or putting the miles in under the watchful eye of Scott Wickens . BOSS : County head coach Nelson Jardim ( Image : Huw Evans Agency ) Williams said : " We 've tried to achieve three things -- the physical condition of the players , introducing this style and also , because we have so many new players , it has been about the social aspect and bringing everyone together . " Nelson has been big on creating a positive environment given that there is a new style and there are so man new faces ; he very much takes a holistic approach where the individual comes first . " He has been great in getting his ideas across and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aligns with the chairman 's philosophy and views . " There is a transitional period and it 's up to us to ensure it 's a smooth one and we do it quickly with performances and results . " We 'll keep targets in house but want to be as successful as soon as possible , that 's why we are in the game . We fully believe doing things this way can bring success to the club . " And Williams does n't think that County will be the only ones keen to play possession rather than being pragmatic . " Look at the best teams last year , you had Stockport who play good football , MK Dons , Crawley , Notts County had a dip in form but that style brought them a lot of success earlier on , " said the coach . " League Two is 100 per cent changing in terms of style of play and the age profile of players . We wo n't be the only ones adopting this possession-based style , but we want to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Comments : Our rules We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues .

The reigning champion of the Fantasy Premier League has unveiled his new squad - and it has sparked a wave of scepticism among fans . Jonas Sand Labakk , who beat nearly 11 million other players to claim the title last season , has intrigued followers with his opening selection . His team includes some expected picks such as Erling Haaland , Trent Alexander-Arnold , and Bukayo Saka , but also features some surprising omissions . Despite never finishing in the top 100,000 before his victorious campaign , which he won by a slim margin of 51 points , Labakk 's initial team has left fans questioning his choices . In goal , there are no real shocks as he selects Arsenal 's David Raya ( ? 5.5m ) - the second highest-scoring goalkeeper last year with 135 total points , and Lukas Fabianski ( ? 4m ) as backup , reports the Mirror . While Porro 's 136-point haul was one of the highest among defenders last year , Labakk has decided against including any Arsenal defenders . Ben White was the top-scoring defender last season with 182 points , followed by Gunners centre-backs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Salah for his midfield ( Image : AFP or licensors ) Alexander-Arnold is the most expensive defender in FPL this season at ? 7m ( Image : Getty Images ) Opting out of choosing last season 's top points-scorer Cole Palmer ( ? 10.5m ) might be a strategy influenced by budget considerations . His striking trio is formidable , with Haaland ( ? 15m ) at the helm , supported by the lethal Alexander Isak ( ? 8.5m ) and Brighton 's Joao Pedro ( ? 5.5m ) . The absence of any Arsenal defenders , as well as Salah or Palmer , from Labakk 's team has sparked debate among fans . One remarked : " He wants us to sign these players , knowing well he will change it soon , " while another suggested : " He wants to lead us astray ! " .

" Labakk has n't convinced fans with his squad ( Image : No credit ) In an interview with the Premier League , Labakk reflected on his victory last season and explained that his selection process extends beyond mere instinct . Labakk expressed his enthusiasm for data-driven strategies , saying : " I 'm a huge fan of analytics and optimisation , " and added : " It 's no news that you need some positive variance or luck in order to win FPL , but it also requires much from you . You have to put in hours . You need to do research .

The sentence 'Gemma Atkinson has told how she felt 'vulnerable' during her latest job which she confirmed ruled her out of taking part in another reality show.' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Here, 'her latest job' (NP subject) + 'ruled' (V1) + 'her' (NP object) + 'out of taking part in another reality show' (VP2[-ing] predicate). It also induces a prevention interpretation, as the latest job prevented her from taking part in another reality show. The NP object 'her' functions as a causee, and the construction is used in an active voice. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Gemma Atkinson has told how she felt ' vulnerable ' during her latest job which she confirmed ruled her out of taking part in another reality show . The Hits Radio host took to social media to share the exciting news that she had been doing some work with Disney . She took to her Instagram page on Friday ( August 9 ) and shared a video of herself as she got back in her car after working on something yet to be revealed with Disney on Ice which involved her lacing up some ice skates . Speaking directly to the camera , Gemma , 39 , said : " I 've done a job for Disney on Ice today , hence the makeup , and I went on an ice rink . Lovely , lovely figure skater called Shaun was helping me , thank God . I can not tell you how vulnerable I felt just stood on the ice in my ice skates . " She continued : " Oh @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ looking down , your head is the heaviest part . Look up ! ' And I thought , ' If I look up I 'll fall ! ' But I needed one of them penguins on the ice . Crikey ! I mean I know it 's hard and I thought , as if these guys have to do dancing , choreography , look like they 're having fun all on ice . " Mad ! I mean , I respect them anyway . They 're all incredible athletes but I thought , really , really good . There 's no way I could do it . Never ! " But it appears the update left her followers wondering if it means she 'd never take part in Dancing on Ice . As she headed for her last Hits Radio shift of the week , she shared a video alongside co-host Wes Butters and made her feelings clear . The former Hollyoaks and Emmerdale star said : " A few of you messaged and said to do Dancing on Ice off my ice skating this morning .... never @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'd be good on Dancing on Ice . I think we should get Wes on it , " she added as the radio star showed off his moves . " Yes , see , " Gemma said as she confirmed : " There 's no way I 'd do it the ITV show . No ... I did n't feel safe or secure but Wes , we need a petition for Wes for Dancing on Ice . " It comes after Gemma shared a fresh update on a project close to her heart . It was back in May that the mum-of-two revealed she would be branching out into a new area away from entertainment and her much-loved fitness . Speaking directly in a video to her fans and followers on Instagram at the time , Bury-born Gemma said : " I 'm currently in the process of launching my very own health and beauty brand called ' Lil ' Gems ' .

Reasoning

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee, and the interpretation does not involve movement/extraction or prevention. Instead, it describes making a career from a characteristic (being tall), which does not align with the construction's properties.

A stunning ' 7ft ' model who was the freak at school says she now earns millions and has basketball players sliding into her DMs . Marie Temara was the tall girl who towered over her fellow students of both sexes in her youth . The 28-year-old from Tampa , Florida , says her height combined with her looks made her the source of some cruel taunts from her peers during her teen years . That 's when she realised she could start making some serious dough , and honed in on her assets . Speaking to the Daily Star , Marie said : " It started back in 2021 on TikTok .

In fact she was receiving a whole new level of admirers , including sports stars . " I get lot of basketball players , " she said . " Some really big names have been in my DMs , asking how tall I was , because I 'm pretty close to their height .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'get out of' in a different context where 'cycling' is not a VP[-ing] predicate but rather a noun. There is no causer or causee relationship, and it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Additionally, it does not give rise to either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'take the Glazers out of running day-to-day operations' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it fit any of the verb classifications or semantic roles described for the construction.

The race to replicate and reflect them is well and truly on . The next generation are here . And here they are . Every season , we scour the globe , from top-level academy compilations to the flickery tapes from South America of street-ballers riding tackles from seasoned ankle-crunchers , to compile our definitive list of the teenagers you need to be keeping a close eye on . But unlike most , we 're not ranking these from the worst to best . That seems counterintuitive , given that some of these stars are yet to taste senior football , while others are the cornerstones of their respective institutions .

Jobe Bellingham in action for Sunderland against Cardiff City ( Image credit : Alamy ) Save from your De Boers , Laudrups and a select few others , siblings do n't tend to grace the elite together in football . The adage of ' if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has weighed like an albatross around the necks of younger bros for years , from Ethan Mbappe to Phil Neville . Jobe Bellingham seems unfazed , however , as his parents split their time between Madrid and Wearside , tracking their kids ' careers . While the cliche is to want a Jude-like skillset from Jobe , Bellingham the Younger actually does have comparable traits : clever movement and iciness in front of goal being the most eye-catching . Jude Bellingham -- once a topper of this list -- was a ready-made midfielder in secondary school and we should n't take that for granted : but Jobe is a different man . He is n't involved on every blade of grass but he may yet become a superstar for his ability to change games with his intelligence in the final third . Camarda was 6ft tall at the age of 15 . He made his debut during that year of his life , and went viral this year for the most exquisite take-down , swivel and dink against Cagliari that you 're likely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this year . Such composure in front of goal has been lacking in Italian frontlines since Francesco Totti trudged off into the Eternal City sunset but Camarda has a clear pathway . Milan 's history with youth integration coupled with the gaping void left by LA-bound Olivier Giroud could see Camarda given more opportunities to impress at San Siro this season . Goodness knows Italy need a forward for the next generation . Bitshiabu made his senior bow for Paris Saint-Germain in December 2022 . His performance was so good that his manager vowed the club would n't be signing defenders , in order to prioritise the wonderkid 's development . It 's not quite worked out that way ( when does it ? ) . Bitshiabu is now at RB Leipzig , following the Castela Lukeba path : he 's a left-footer able to play centre-back or left-back , and with more of that profile emerging in the last couple of years , it seems destined that he 's tailor-made for a return to the elite in the next few @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Born during the week that Rage Against The Machine reached number one in the UK in protest against the X Factor -- yes , really -- Max Dowman is one of the youngest players to have ever trained with Arsenal 's first-team . Mikel Arteta is on a mission to crack down on his most talented youngsters departing , and means business getting such a young player in with the senior side . The technique is exquisite . Obviously he has to mature physically but Dowman assisted four times on his step up to the under-18s , alerting just about everyone to how good he could be . Midfield gems keep spawning out of Hale End right now and Dowman is one to watch over the next few years . You can take the Glazers out of running day-to-day operations at Manchester United but removing the bad luck is somewhat harder , as injuries to Leny Yoro and Rasmus Hojlund have shown in preseason . Some things never change . With left-back a problem position covered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ last term in the absence of Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia ( remember him ? ) , there may be a spot opening up for Harry Amass . Signed from Watford 's academy last year , the teen is stocky , tenacious and looking for a Mainoo-like glow-up , should injuries bother those above him again this season . He 's technically solid and could be an asset as depth . There 's no better way to cap your 18th than with a mazy run through defenders ' legs and scoring on your La Liga debut , right ? Assane Diao may not be unique as one of a plethora of exciting young wingers in Spain 's top tier -- but he 's one of the most breathtaking . The teen went onto score on each of his first three starts . He has the pace , the directness and most importantly a fearlessness that could well translate to La Roja 's senior setup , with Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams demonstrating over the summer that Spanish football is changing . It 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wide playmakers to slaloming wingers. Despite signing Darwin Nunez , Jurgen Klopp gravitated back to a false nine-style Cody Gakpo mere months later . But history tells us Arne Slot is a ' Santiago Gimenez up front ' kind of guy , who would prefer his strikers to stretch than drift into midfield . This might be the change that Jayden Danns needs to truly explode . Physically , the forward is cut from a Cavani cloth -- but though his movement is exemplary , he 's been focusing on his all-round game under Klopp . With Gakpo likely a winger to Slot , that leaves Nunez as the sole centre-forward -- and Danns could be the longterm successor with the kind of ability to bring others into play that recalls Roberto Firmino , with the kind of killer edge needed under the new regime . With the Lisbon giants accelerating into the distance with recruitment , Porto are at risk of being left behind in Portugal . Andre Villas-Boas is president , Sergio Conceicao gone and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the academy are thus welcome . Martim Fernandes is a throwback full-back capable of bombing down the touchline and delivering a whipped cross , with a tireless engine and the will to get stuck in . It looks likely that he makes the right-back slot his own over the next 18 months , but how he develops could be fascinating : he already looks comfortable cutting infield and at such a young age , could become a phenomenal talent for Portugal . A brace on his home debut . The youngest Monagasque to do so since Thierry Henry . The headlines write themselves . Eliesse Ben Seghir is perhaps as exciting as he is because he 's so hard to box , both literally and as a profile . Though he has the swagger of the aforementioned Henry , a close control akin to ex-Monaco star Bernardo Silva suggests he could crystallise as a No.8 , No.10 or a winger on either flank . He seems to revel in breaking free from opponents , drawing them close before finding space to accelerate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fun to watch , too . They 've done it again , have n't they ? Ending up in Brighton , via Nordsjaelland and the now-famed Right to Dream academy is becoming a golden route to stardom . Ibrahim Osman follows Simon Adingra 's lead : similarly ambipedal , unpredictable and comfortable anywhere on the pitch , so long as there 's green space to run into . The idea of the Seagulls luring a press before releasing these two west African wingers is ferocious -- and so many of Brighton 's wide options , Osman has intelligence , final product and a frightening ability to accelerate at full pelt from a standstill . He 's raw , but he 's at the best place to develop . Thank you for reading 5 articles this month* Join now for unlimited access Mark White is the Digital Content Editor at FourFourTwo .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'make a hobby out of building tanks', where 'building tanks' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate with a causee. Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

Several people were left struggling to breathe following what authorities believe was a " chemical incident " sparked by a coral toxin . Emergency personnel sent hazardous response teams to the site of a suspected chemical leak in Dagenham , east London , on Saturday night after multiple residents of Wren Road reported breathing difficulties . The London Ambulance Service said it sent " a number of resources " to the neighbourhood after the terrified residents ' panicked calls . A spokesperson for the service told The Sun : " We were called at 9.46pm on 10 August to reports of an incident at a residential address on Wren Road . We sent a number of resources including ambulance crews , an incident response officer and members of our Hazardous Area Response Team ( HART ) . " Seven people have been taken to hospital following the incident ( Image : UKNIP ) " We responded alongside colleagues from London Fire Brigade . We treated seven patients and took them all to hospital . " Hazard response teams eventually concluded that the source of the residents ' issues was a deadly substance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fish tank . Palytoxin is a potent poison known to cause coughing , fever , chills , sore throat , headache , muscle aches , chest pains and respiratory distress , and can be deadly . Authorities have responded to the locally released toxin by condoning off 10 homes , and those affected by the incident are now receiving hospital treatment . The incident took place on Wren Road , in Dagenham , The poison is typically produced by a coral known as Palythoa , several types of which may be placed in fish tanks due to its unique beauty . But the highly toxic fatty alcohol the coral produces can prove fatal it is ingested or inhaled in just tiny quantities , meaning aquarists - people who make a hobby out of building tanks - may place themselves in danger if they use the coral for decoration . While it is known to be potentially dangerous , palytoxin poisoning incidents are notably rare , and deaths even rarer . While some captive species of palythoa are known to produce the poison , many hobbyists safely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ advised to always wear protective gear like gloves and goggles when handling potentially toxic undersea organisms . Another reef-based underwater species , zoantharians , can produce a slime that produces the harmful toxin if it is exposed to air . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes Zoe Ball failing to turn up for her show and pulling out of hosting, but there is no instance of a verb followed by an NP object and 'out of' with a VP[-ing] predicate that induces a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'music lovers' is the NP object, 'are slowly being priced' is the V1 in passive voice, and 'out of seeing the artists they love perform live' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also induces a prevention interpretation, as the music lovers are being prevented from seeing the artists perform live due to being priced out. This aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Although there was a huge number of fans in attendance at the concert , the number of fans who missed out on tickets was even higher . Eras tour tickets were notoriously difficult to secure , with demand far outweighing the number of tickets in supply .

Rising overhead costs of venues for things like electricity , heating and lighting understandably have an impact on ticket prices as well .

Increased usage of social media means that nowadays it 's much easier for an artist to gain an online following and increase demand for their tickets . Having more fans , and especially having more super fans , means that they 're willing to pay a higher price for their tickets . Speaking of technology , the rise of music streaming services has also had a major impact on the price of concert tickets , albeit in a less immediately obvious way . In the past , artists intentionally sold concert tickets for more affordable prices so people would come and hear their music and then buy an hard copy of their music , which is where they would make the majority of their earnings .

The bottom line of this issue is the same as many issues : higher demand leads to higher prices . When it comes to big-ticket artists , managing demand is tricky . In order to combat this , Ticketmaster introduced a brand new system especially for the Eras tour , which most of us are now familiar with , called Verified Fan Registration . This means that fans had to register in order to buy tickets , and could only register once per location .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'ruled him out of competing in the French capital' involves 'ruled out' as a phrasal verb followed by 'of competing', but the NP object 'him' does not function as a causee in the event described by 'competing'. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate, and it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'out of nothing' as a fixed expression meaning 'from a situation where there seems to be no possibility or resources.'

Maresca is likely going to have to rely heavily on Cole Palmer , who conjured up an incredible 22 goals and 11 assists across 34 Premier League games last term . Palmer was rewarded with a fresh contract -- and a new bumper salary -- on Tuesday and Defoe believes you ' can not coach ' the player in certain aspects , although that is only because he is so technically gifted and such a top star . Defoe is a huge fan of Palmer and has lauded him in an interview with Sky Sports as the former Spurs star said : ' I like his temperament.He 's so calm and he gets on with business . Technically , he is gifted . ' A lot of things he does , you can not coach . It 's just natural . He just does it and it 's off the cuff .

She always said if she ever had a little girl she 'd give it the same name . " Taylor Swift was n't famous when I was born . I was probably about 11 when she became famous . I first heard about her when my aunt , who lives in America , sent me some CDs of a country singer and over the years she became this huge pop star . " But being called Taylor Swift can be a talking point - particularly if anyone overhears her full name . She says : " Me and my mum were out for dinner a while ago and were sitting next to a lady with her little girl who was going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ My mum said ' Well guess what Taylor 's last name is ? ' and the little girl could n't quite believe it until I called my mum , so her phone lit up with the name Taylor Swift . " We 've kept in touch with her mum and apparently the little girl went into school the next day and said ' I had the best day ever - I had lunch with Taylor Swift ! ' That was super cute . " But sharing a name with a global icon can draw unwelcome attention . When her name is read out at showjumping events , she says crowds gather to see if it 's THE Taylor Swift taking part . When people realise it is n't , they then want to know if the horse is owned by the popstar . Taylor has even been in hospital and realised the nurses have seen her name and expected to treat the Wildest Dreams star . " I 've had lung problems since I was born , " she says . " I remember @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in while my lungs were washed out and there was a nurse waiting outside the hospital for me . " Another time , I was in A&E on New Year 's Day because I had pneumonia and when the nurse called out my name in the waiting room a man said ' have a word , that 's not her real name ! ' That was really embarrassing . " So far , she has not been to a Taylor Swift concert , but she quite likes her music and hopes to strike it off her bucket list one day . " I 'm not a diehard fan , but I did like her music growing up and I remember listening to the radio and hearing them say my name which was weird , " she laughs . " When I was younger and I had really blonde curly hair I used to think I looked like her . But , sadly , I ca n't sing like her , I sound like a screeching cat ! " When the attention that comes with sharing a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gets too much , 24-year-old Taylor Swift from Swindon wishes she could Shake It Off . Taylor Swift says Taylor Swift 's music is a guilty pleasure She has even been to one of the singer 's concerts But she 's grown used to having a famous namesake and says liking Taylor 's music is her " guilty secret . " " My mum Googled the name to check it did n't also belong to a serial killer ! " she recalls . Taylor was about 10-years-old when she realised she shared a name with a famous person and , while she would n't call herself a superfan , she has been to one of her concerts . " I like her recent songs - a lot of her songs are my guilty pleasure that I sing in the shower , " she says . " I must have been young when we realised the coincidence , as I just remember having a famous person 's name my whole life . " Although she ca n't go anywhere without being mistaken for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to her advantage . Currently working on a ranch on the Caribbean island of St Martin 's , which is popular with American tourists , she says : " I say to people ' you wo n't forget my name ' and use it to my advantage as an ice breaker . " Sometimes I even tell people I 'll sing them a song if they leave a tip - Americans are generous tippers anyway ! " If they do want me to sing a tune , I will sing Love Story as that 's really famous right now on TikTok and everyone knows it . " I 've also been known to get up and sing Taylor Swift 's Romeo and Juliet at karaoke with my friends Ellie and Emily on a night out . It 's just a bit of fun . " For 22-year-old Taylor Swift , of Barnsley , sharing a name with the Blank Space singer has been no Love Story . Taylor was bullied at school - but now people think the coincidence is something out of their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in shock and said ' Oh my god they just said Taylor Swift ' . We could n't believe it . " I do n't mind her music . There are two songs - Trouble and 22 - that I quite like . " Taylor , an unemployed construction worker , says his name can be a pain when he applies for jobs and he 's even had the phone slammed down on him a few times . " Sometimes I 've said my name on the phone and they do n't believe me until they see my CV ! " he says . " Other times they 've just put the phone down because they think it 's a prank call . That 's happened to me a handful of times . " It 's not all bad though . My girlfriend has a bit of a joke about it and tells everyone her boyfriend is called Taylor Swift . Some people think it 's really cool . " Speaking to the Daily Mirror is probably the best thing to come out of sharing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ When my mam realised the Daily Mirror were trying to get hold of me she said , ' Taylor it looks like your name is finally starting to pay off !

Reasoning

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'make a living out of bossing people around' involves the verb 'make' with an NP object 'a living', but it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Additionally, the NP object 'a living' does not function as a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'bossing people around'. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject (Reiss) + V1 (tried to worm) + NP object (his way) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (being caught out). It involves a reflexive NP object (his way) coreferential with the subject (Reiss), which is an atypical but acceptable type of NP object in the transitive out of -ing construction. The interpretation is prevention, as Reiss is attempting to avoid being caught out. This aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Reasoning
×
The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject ('Many people in Gloucester') + V1 ('are being priced') + NP object (implied 'them') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('owning a home'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the action of being priced out prevents the NP object from owning a home. The verb 'priced' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically'. The NP subject is an animate agent, and the NP object (implied 'them') is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The struggle people are facing to get a home in Gloucester has sparked calls for action to tackle the city 's housing crisis . There is a shortage of homes for city residents and some 4,700 people are on Gloucester City Council 's waiting list for a house . Labour councillors say young people and families are feeling the brunt of years of Conservative failure in building the new homes the city needs . And they have called on the Liberal Democrat leadership at North Warehouse to take action to tackle the issue . Labour councillors have met with housing cabinet member Luke Shervey ( LD , Longlevens ) to present their plans and to push for immediate action . Their plan calls for all housing developments to include homes for social rent and adequate infrastructure . They also want first time buyers to have first choice and priority on new affordable housing . Labour wants all new developments tol include 30 per cent affordable housing , a significant increase from the council 's current policy of 20 per cent . Labour want a new social housing development company to be set up to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ housing . And they say the regeneration of the Podsmead and Matson estates must be completed making sure residents ' views are taken into account throughout the process . New high quality housing specifically for veterans should be developed and they want a local plan , produced through democratic consultation , to meet the needs of residents . Labour group leader Terry Pullen ( L , Moreland ) said : " Good quality , decent , and affordable homes are vital to the health and wellbeing of residents across Gloucester . " Housing brings stability , security and safety , however , for too many this is simply beyond their reach . Many people in Gloucester are being priced out of owning a home , there is a shortage of social housing and private rental costs continue to rise . Gloucester City Council finance chiefs have been praised for bringing down costs ( Image : Carmelo Garcia ) " We can not go on like this - much more needs to be done and we will continue to push the council to make sure our demands @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( C , Quedgeley Fieldcourt ) , who was the previous cabinet member for planning and housing , said it is vital that the right housing for Gloucester 's communities is built in the right places . " Gloucester City 's administrative boundaries have very little space left in them for development and the Conservatives have been working hard to develop as much brownfield land as is possible and were successful in bidding for ? 2 million of brownfield release funds to ensure the St Oswald 's site can be developed . " The previous Conservative administration also built 1,354 homes in 2022/22 for Gloucester residents of which 417 were affordable homes . This is the largest number of homes built in a single year since our records began . " We can all agree we need more housing however , this must be done responsibly to ensure we meet the need of our expanding population whilst also considering the wishes of current communities and of course working with partners in our neighbouring district authorities and the County Council , NHS etc to ensure the necessary infrastructure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ needed but can not be rushed through no matter whatever the cost to our existing residents . " Gloucester City Council crest in North Warehouse car park . ( Image : Carmelo Garcia ) Councillor Shervey said he aims to take a collaborative approach to tackling housing issues within Gloucester . " As such , I reached out to all opposition parties to involve them and to understand issues in their respective wards , only labour took me up on this offer . " Since being appointed to the cabinet , I have started work reforming how we deliver housing services and ensuring more affordable homes are made available to those on the council waiting list and transform the traditional housing provision we already have through regeneration schemes making Gloucester a great place to live , work and call home . " All councillors across all political parties should have one ambition and that is to improve their wards on behalf of all residents , and that is exactly what I and the Liberal Democrat administration are working to deliver for the city . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get more support for delivering new affordable housing and improve local housing services which had been stripped to the bone by 14 years of Conservative Government , I look forward to lobbying our two new MPs to deliver for Gloucester .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'missing out of something' which is a phrasal verb 'miss out' followed by a prepositional phrase 'of something', not a VP[-ing] predicate. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the sentence does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'missing out of something' which is a phrasal verb 'miss out' followed by a prepositional phrase 'of something', not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the sentence does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

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

( Image credit : Wizards of the Coast ) Back in 2011 , Risk Legacy shook the staid little world of board games with its anarchic approach to the sanctity of playing pieces . It was a game designed to be customized in play -- after a few sessions you 'd have written new names on the board , ripped up cards and thrown them away , added new rules , and permanently altered it in ways that made each copy unique to your gaming group . While the immediate reaction included a lot of forum threads about how to play Risk Legacy without permanently changing things so you could reset it to zero at the end , in the long run the joy of vandalism won out . It inspired an entire subgenre of board games like Pandemic Legacy and Betrayal Legacy that demand you treat them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : The Gathering , where the collector market considers cards to be investments it 's frankly barbaric to play an actual game with , the equivalent is an unofficial format called Sharpie Cube , or Redacted Cube .

Cards in Sharpie Cube end up looking like NSA documents , only instead of damning surveillance records they 're giving a Colossal Dreadmaw the Storm keyword by blacking out the rest of its flavor text . Or , in one of my favorite examples , changing the Spellgorger Weird into the Spell Weird . Where the original gave you a +1/+1 counter when someone cast a noncreature spell , the redacted version forces you to respond to the same situation by spelling the word " weird " .

If Mohamed Salah has made career out of giving Premier League defenders the runaround on the opening days of new seasons , he 's been able to skip away from the assembled media just as impressively . Now into his eighth season as a Reds player , only one term has not started with the name ' Salah ' on the scoresheet , which came 12 months ago when his defence-shredding pass set up Luis Diaz in a 1-1 draw at Chelsea . Fourteen goal contributions in total over the course of those eight games and nine scored on ' matchday one ' now sees him take the record outright having previously shared the honour with Frank Lampard , Wayne Rooney and Alan Shearer . Asked to stop and chat post-match about his latest achievements after Saturday 's 2-0 win at Ipswich Town , Salah , as has become customary , laughed off the request with a simple : " Guys ... you 're asking me again ? " The friendly and humorous exchange was in contrast to one of the most recent times the Egyptian was asked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " there will be fire if I speak today " led to ample column inches around his relationship with outgoing manager Jurgen Klopp after a draw at West Ham in late April . Back then the frontman was struggling to regain his heights having suffered a couple of hamstring issues dating back to January and his touchline spat with Klopp as he prepared to be introduced from the bench was an unsavoury incident that , while quickly played down , was symptomatic of Liverpool 's struggles at that time . But having assisted Diogo Jota before adding a goal of his own in Saturday 's win , Salah cut a much more relaxed figure as he left Portman Road and it took little time for the club themselves to pay tribute with a couple of social media posts recognising his latest feat of greatness . First there were nine images of celebration from each of the goals Salah has registered on opening days - against Watford , West Ham United , Norwich City twice , Fulham , Ipswich and a hat-trick at home to Leeds United - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Egypt captain has chalked up 300 goal contributions in 350 Reds appearances . That 's 212 goals and 88 assists for those keeping score . The numbers are staggering but if the player himself felt no need to speak publicly about them , head coach Arne Slot is at least rather more obligated to face the media after matches and his summary was telling . " If I see what he does to keep his body as it is to be ready to play every game , then I think there are many more years inside of him to play , " Slot said . " But I 'm looking now at Brentford and not the end of the season . " With Salah now being well into the final year of his terms , such performances will only aid the case of sliding a new contract across the negotiating table of Ramy Abbas , the Colombian lawyer who represents Liverpool 's No.11 . Two years ago , Salah signed the biggest contract of all time on Merseyside , which was offered to him in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the sort of numbers he had prior to the end of the 2021/22 campaign . Since penning the record-breaking terms on the Greek island of Mykonos at the end of June of that year , the former Roma forward has scored 56 times . Since his arrival in 2017 , no-one has ever finished above him in the scoring charts at Anfield . Salah might have turned 32 in June but the physical conditioning of an uber-professional and dedicated player like him means there is unlikely to be a dramatic drop-off any time soon . Elite players are performing for longer and there is no evidence to suggest Salah can not do the same , just as Slot suggests . That is why there is a serious decision on the horizon for club Fenway Sports Group , their CEO of football Michael Edwards and Liverpool 's sporting director Richard Hughes . In January , Salah will be free to negotiate with clubs outside of England about a pre-contract agreement and with interest from Saudi Arabia unlikely to have truly been extinguished after Al Ittihad 's rejected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the decision makers at the AXA Training Centre and those who make the big calls further up the chain in the Boston boardrooms of FSG . He is believed to earn between ? 350,000 and ? 400,000 a week based on an incentives surrounding goal bonuses and while an improvement on those figures seems fanciful at 32 , there is a legitimate conversation to be had around how much Salah will be able to continue at this level as he edges into his mid-to-late 30s . The prudent and parsimonious FSG model feels like it would naturally shun the idea of an ageing player being so well paid but Salah , as outlined , remains a special case . " Yeah , he 's fantastic , " says Andy Robertson , who has been at Liverpool every step of the way with Salah having also joined in 2017 , after the victory over Ipswich . " Every year he comes back in even better shape than he was the season before . " He was one of the players who had a longer summer which was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a full pre-season under his belt and looks fit and sharp .

Only time will tell but I think everyone knows Mo looks after his body exceptionally well and does everything right . " He 's a model professional and someone everyone looks up to . He leaves no stone unturned and that 's why he 's still in incredible shape at the age he 's at . " Long may that continue . Hopefully he keeps playing the way he did against Ipswich . He 's started the season really well . If our main man is playing like that then it 's obviously going to help the team . Hopefully it 's the first of many for this season . " Salah 's repeated ability to make the difference in curtain raisers is not merely coincidental . His @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of improvement and the decision to steer clear of the Olympics with Egypt last month in favour of a proper pre-season under Slot has so far shown plenty of signs of paying off handsomely . With a full summer schedule of work behind him , the attacker has a real spring in his step which it is hoped will now bleed further into the season . Salah may have started in trademark fashion both on the pitch and in the post-match media zones , but Liverpool 's hierarchy simple can not allow the ' Egyptian King ' to give them the slip so easily in the coming months .

The best Apple TV Plus shows are an overwhelmingly impressive selection of original content . Simply put , if you 're not on Apple TV Plus , you 're not going to be able to stream these . It may have taken Apple some time to establish itself as one of the best streaming services , but it has most certainly secured its position now with a platform boasting an impressive back catalogue of high-budget and high-quality originals . With new Apple Originals content added to the platform every single month -- check out these three new Apple TV Plus we ca n't wait to watch in August 2024 -- we 'll be sure to populate and update our list below accordingly . For now , there are 23 shows for viewers to enjoy and , we 'd like to think , there 's a little something for everyone . What do Apple Originals have to offer , you may ask ?

Fully leaning into the era when Jane Fonda 's aerobics videos were all the rage , ' 80s-set pitch-black dramedy Physical again proves Rose Byrne is one of her generation 's most unsung comic talents . The Australian star fully commands attention in and out of spandex as a deeply insecure mother who reinvents herself as an exercise guru -- albeit one who loathes her clients almost as much as she does herself . Indeed , Byrne 's Sheila Rubin is n't the most likeable of protagonists -- her internal monologues are astonishingly caustic -- but it 's refreshing to see a woman allowed to play the antihero in a novel spin on the bored suburban housewife narrative .

Dave Franco 's intensely smug Bieber-esque pop star is the victim , Tiffany Haddish plays the ballsy detective investigating his death , and suspects include Sam Richardson 's escape room designer and Jamie Demetriou 's forgotten loner . As you 'd expect , The Afterparty is chock-full of inspired pop culture references ( particularly the spoof Hall and Oates biopic ) and zips along with more wit and verve than Kenneth Branagh 's Poirot whodunnits . If you 're more of a Brigadoon person than a Hamilton one , then this affectionate homage to the Golden Age of musicals should be right up your street . Schmigadoon ! stars Keegan-Michael Key and Cecily Strong as a quarrelsome couple who become trapped in an all-singing , all-dancing town , and ca n't leave until they 've rediscovered what it means to be in love -- whether that 's with each other or with one of its numerous quirky inhabitants . Oscar winner Ariana DeBose and Broadway regulars Kristen Chenoweth and Aaron @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cumming , Fred Armisen and Only Murders in the Building 's Martin Short ( in a brief cameo as a leprechaun ) add to the self-knowing fun .

Shrinking stars Jason Segel as grieving therapist Jimmy Laird , who is spiralling after the death of his wife in a car crash . Jimmy begins to shake up the advice he gives to his patients by telling them what he really thinks , breaking all the rules -- and changing lives in the process . The emotionally-driven comedy ( created by Segel , along with Ted Lasso 's Brett Goldstein and Bill Lawrence ) also stars the legendary Harrison Ford as Dr Paul Rhodes , a fellow therapist who is battling Parkinson 's disease . The series was mostly well-received , with critics praising its exploration of radical honesty .

Between racking up the umpteenth season ofIt 's Always Sunny in Philadelphiaand randomly buying a ( then ) non-league Welsh football team with Ryan Reynolds , Rob McElhenney has also found the time to co-create and star in another smartly-written comedy . Set at a video game studio responsible for a World of Warcraft-esque MMORPG , Mythic Quest is more sincere and less nihilistic than The Gang 's exploits in Philly . But it 's equally hilarious and -- as proven by the episode filmed using 40 iPhones , and the standalone tale charting the life-cycle of an indie game -- just as willing to think outside the box . Sharon Horgan ( Catastrophe ) is the co-creator and star of this pitch-black comedy-drama . Inspired by the Flemish series Clan , it tells the story of four Irish sisters ( played by Horgan , Eva Birthistle , Normal People 's Sarah Greene and Behind Her Eyes ' Eve Hewson ) who despise their brother-in-law John-Paul ( Dracula 's Claes Bang ) so much that they come up with a succession of schemes to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Grace ( Anne-Marie Duff ) . The plot unfolds in two parallel timelines : one leading up to John-Paul 's demise , the other following a pair of insurance agents ( played by Peaky Blinders ' Brian Gleeson and Good Luck to You , Leo Grande 's Daryl McCormack ) who suspect foul play . The results are compelling , darkly funny , and packed with unexpected twists and turns . You can read our full Bad Sisters review here . Sure , its impossibly optimistic view of the world takes as much suspension of disbelief as Apple TV Plus 's sci-fi fantasies . But at a time when the entire universe appears to be going to pot , a show as relentlessly feel good as Ted Lasso is what so many of us desperately needed . The hit series became an awards darling thanks to its heart-warming depiction of a middling soccer team in the English Premier League , and the fish-out-of-water American coach who unexpectedly finds himself in charge . Jason Sudeikis is brilliantly endearing as the moustachioed , cookie-baking lead , but every loveable character -- @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kent -- is perfectly cast . And , even though Ted Lasso season 2 and Ted Lasso season 3 ca n't quite live up to the all-round brilliance of Ted 's first year in the dugout , this is undoubtedly one of the big winners among the best Apple TV Plus shows . Min Jin 's bestselling novel is adapted in this sweeping eight-part series , which has won rave reviews before Apple confirmed a second season of Pachinko was on the way . The series is a sweeping saga following four generations of a Korean immigrant family , and the decisions they make as they seek a better life for themselves and the generations to come . Tearjerking , poignant and skilfully plotted , Pachinko may be a slow burn , but it 's one of the best Apple TV Plus shows and well worth sticking with . You wo n't have to wait long for season two either , as it 's launching on August 23 .

The alleged killer , Paul Walter Hauser 's Larry Hall , is regarded by local police as a fantasist , and there 's every chance his conviction will be thrown out on appeal , meaning Keane has to work fast . Dark as the blackest cup of coffee and featuring a score from Scottish doom rockers Mogwai , Black Bird is a tough watch at times , but also very compelling . There 's no shortage of police procedurals available on streaming services , but the two lead performances in Criminal Record lift it to the next level .

Colin Farrell is private detective John Sugar in this mystery thriller investigating the disappearance of Olivia Siegel , a Hollywood producer 's beloved granddaughter . While John Sugar appears pretty well put together for tackling the case of a missing person in LA 's dark underbelly , it 's his personal demons that chase him throughout . Throw in some murky waters surrounding the Siegel family 's history and you 've got a show full of suspicion and suspense . Farrell 's performance catches the eye , even though there 's a lot of talk around the eight-episode run taking a while to reveal its true self . But , with the mystery genre behind it , there 's always @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ find yourself with jaw agape as its most shocking moments are unveiled .

As with Band of Brothers -- which featured future A-listers Damian Lewis , Michael Fassbender and Tom Hardy -- the cast is loaded with up-and-coming screen talent , including Elvis 's Austin Butler , The Banshees of Inisherin 's Barry Keoghan and new Doctor Whostar Ncuti Gatwa . With all nine episodes of season one receiving primarily positive reviews from critics , it 's earned a place among the best Apple TV Plus TV shows .

The show 's proved so popular that a fifth season has been confirmed before the fourth has even aired . And , when it comes to Slow Horses season four , it 's coming on September 4 . ( Image credit : Apple TV+ ) Recommended by Recommended by Tom Power Senior Reporter , Entertainment In this eight-parter adapted from Lauren Beukes ' novel , the ever-watchable Elisabeth Moss ( The Handmaid 's Tale ) tops the bill as Kirby Mazrachi , a Chicago newspaper archivist .

Presumed Innocent adopts a TV format for the first time with Jake Gyllenhaal taking on the role of prosecutor , Rusty Sabich , the prime suspect in the murder of his colleague/mistress . Originally a 1987 novel of the same name , then a 1990 film adaptation with Harrison Ford as Rusty , it 's been transformed once again as an Apple Original series . While Gyllenhaal is no stranger to the big screen , this limited series marks his first TV role . And viewers can watch the tale unfold over eight intense episodes . There are impressive performances to enjoy from a big-name cast , too , including Ruth Negga as Rusty 's wife , Barbara , and Gyllenhaal 's real-life brother-in-law , Peter Sarsgaard , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will be pleased to hear Presumed Innocent has been renewed for season 2 . Idris Elba gets to live his best 24 life in this mostly real-time high-altitude drama . While Jack Bauer was a highly trained counter-terrorism operative , however , Elba 's Sam Nelson is a business negotiator , more likely to be found in corporate boardrooms than dealing with hijacked aircraft . This Die Hard/Passenger 57-like scenario has become something of a Hollywood clich ? but , despite the almost obligatory implausible moments , Hijack functions as a gripping seven-episode thriller . Elba is as watchable as ever as the reluctant hero , and he gets quality support from Peaky Blinders ' Neil Maskell , Torchwood 's Eve Myles and The Good Wife 's Archie Panjabi . A second season of Hijack was announced in January 2024 .

It 's another entry for Apple TV Plus ' commitment to providing adult sci-fi originals , joining the ranks alongside For All Mankind , Silo , and Foundation also on our list . Severance is one of those shows I talk about so much that everyone around me is probably sick of hearing about it . But it 's worth the near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes critic score because this is arguably Apple TV Plus ' most unique offering yet . Starring Parks and Recreation legend Adam Scott in the leading role of Mark , we follow a group of employees who have willingly undertaken the severance procedure . No , it 's not a payoff , it 's something more sinister . Here , people 's brains are severed between work and life , meaning when they 're at work they do n't know anything about their home lives , and vice versa . But why would someone take on a procedure like that ? And what is actually going on with this suspicious Lumon Industries ? Well , with more episodes on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about Severance season 2 before it arrives , as well as the confirmed Severance release date where hopefully those questions will be answered ... Silo is dystopian sci-fi delivered with all the style and storytelling prowess we 've come to expect from the streamer . Speed writer Graham Yost gets more mileage out of trapping people in an enclosed space in this adaptation of Hugh Howey 's book series , about a community living in a vast underground bunker . Mission : Impossible 's Rebecca Ferguson plays an engineer who starts to ask questions about the silo 's origins and what happened up above , while powerful forces try to keep its history under wraps . What follows is 10 episodes of smart , tense storytelling enclosed in spectacular brutalist sets . Filming for the show 's second season returned finally wrapped in March after a strike-induced hiatus , but a release date is yet to be confirmed . Much as Prime Video 's The Man in the High Castle asks , ' What if the Germans won the war ? , ' For All Mankind imagines an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moon before America . Co-created by Ronald D. Moore ( Battlestar Galactica ) , the Saturn Award-winning series mixes real-life figures such as Neil Armstrong and Ronald Reagan with fictional astronauts to build a handsomely-recreated vision of the 1960s and early ' 70s -- and in subsequent seasons , the ' 80s and ' 90s . But the personal drama , particularly the stories which put the women front and centre , are often just as gripping as its exploration of the global space race . In fact , we believe For All Mankind has the right stuff to be your next TV binge . For All Mankind has officially been renewed for season 5 , as well as new spin-off series , Star City , announced for Apple TV Plus . Loosely based on sci-fi legend Isaac Asimov 's book series of the same name , this ambitious drama centers on a group of exiles who set out to establish a new society to overthrow the ruling Galactic Empire and ensure the survival of humanity . Foundationmay well be Apple TV Plus 's most visually spectacular original , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jared Harris as a mathematician turned Nostradamus-like rebel leader , and Lee Pace as a succession of ruthless cloned Emperors . With a storyline that stretches out over centuries , it can be a challenging watch , but Foundation 's immersive , intelligent script ( featuring moral dilemmas and even the occasional mathematics montage ) ensures it 's worth sticking with the drama .

( Image credit : Square Enix ) Final Fantasy 16 's long-awaited PC release date is set for September 17 , and the director behind the game reckons it 's " possible " and " probably even likely " that future entries in the series will launch on PC day 1 . Speaking to GamesRadar+ , Hiroshi Takai reflects on the decision to launch Final Fantasy 16 's PC version out of step from the PS5 version and whether that 's something we 'll see going forward . Asked if future Final Fantasy games may see a day-one release , Takai says " I think it 's possible -- probably even likely , " before adding , " That said , the team in charge of each project gets to decide its own policy , so this is just my personal opinion .

" Given that Final Fantasy 16 's gap between PS5 and PC releases extends beyond a year , I ask Takai if the team worries about PC gamers ' waning interest or if the devs bank on an excellent port being worth the wait . For Takai , the time spent was just right . " Naturally , we wanted to get the PC version into players ' hands as quickly as we possibly could , " he says . " We do n't get anything out of delaying its release either . That said , I do n't think there 's much more we could have done to speed up the porting process . Looking at the results , I think the time we 've put into optimizing the game for PC was time well spent .

Joseph Nee outside Liverpool Crown Court where he was fined ? 60 for possessing cannabis . The convicted drug dealer who was the intended target of the shooting which killed nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel Joseph Nee had a reputation as a career criminal around his local Dovecot area , but few would have expected the events of August 22 2022 . In the mind of gangland assassin Thomas Cashman , Nee was supposed to die that night . However , instead of Nee , Cashman murdered schoolgirl Olivia Pratt-Korbel when she ended up in his firing line following his horrific mission . As Cashman stood over a bleeding Nee , who begged him " Please lad , do n't " , his 9mm Glock self-loading pistol seemingly jammed giving the then 35-year-old a chance to scramble to his feet and escape . But who was Joseph Nee ? As a younger man , Nee was involved in a notorious criminal group that flooded the streets of Kensington with crack and heroin . According to ECHO reports from 2009 , Nee was a " trusted foot-soldier " in an organisation that was " dripping in materialism " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ TVs , high-end cars and wardrobes full of designer gear . The gang was led by known hardman Brian " Big Show " Siner , who received a 14-year sentence at Liverpool Crown Court . Nee , then 23 , was sentenced to six and a half years in prison for drug supply offences . He was jailed for a year in 2011 for perverting the course of justice in relation to a gang of violent burglars , including his brother , Jason Nee , who threatened victims in their own home with weapons . Joseph Nee , when he was jailed for his part in burglaries in Cheshire in 2018 ( Image : Merseyside Police ) In some ways , Nee , " a man with his enemies " , might consider himself unlucky . He is now remembered as the man who , inadvertently , brought death and devastation to the Korbel 's family home . But in others , he is astonishingly fortunate . He was shot at in March 2018 by an unknown assailant . ? Then , on August 8 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fired at him using the same model of gun he was shot with on the night of the 22nd . Merseyside Police previously said they have not ruled Cashman out of being the shooter on that occasion , although he has not been charged . However , during the trial of Cashman at Manchester Crown Court , the jury did not hear any evidence from Nee about why he was targeted . Nor did the jury hear any evidence of what motivated Cashman to take out his fellow drug dealer . But more came out in the absence of the jury . Mr Cooper submitted an application to the court to admit information from Merseyside Police intelligence logs as evidence . He also applied for sections of Nee 's statement to be admitted , without Nee being called as a witness . In a ruling delivered on the application , we heard how : " Material further supporting a feud between the Hickmans and the Nees , including details of a fight between Paul Hickman and Jason Nee ( Joseph 's brother ) in prison and a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ public house . " Nee himself told police he did not know who shot him . He did mention his " little argument " with Lee Hickman and spoke of others he had fallen out with , at one stage saying " It could have been anyone " . But Justice Yip ruled : " Mr Nee has given varying accounts at different times . At no stage has he positively asserted that he knows who shot him ... " The statements made by Joseph Nee about the possible involvement of others are vague and speculative . They do not provide any evidence that someone other than the defendant was the gunman . In the circumstances , the evidence of things said by Joseph Nee does not have any real probative value . " The defendant , who was shot in the midriff by Cashman , asked the judge if he could stand at one point during the hearing , saying he had " pains " . Following his fine , he was told by Judge Louise Brandon : " I would keep your nose clean if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ served long stretches in prison , been the target of at least three assassination or wounding attempts involving guns and has a lamentable reputation in his community . The real tragedy is that Olivia had to pay the price for the enemies he made . Merseyside Detectives : The Murders of Ashley and Olivia begins tonight at 9pm on Channel 4 and All 4 |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'pull out of' as a phrasal verb followed by a gerund phrase 'running the visitor centre and cafe', which does not involve a causee or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The subject 'Staffordshire Wildlife Trust' is not causing an object to move out of an action or preventing an object from performing an action.

The search to find businesses to take on cafes at three Stoke-on-Trent parks is underway - with the council urging entrepreneurs to make them an offer . Staffordshire Wildlife Trust ( SWT ) announced last month that it would pull out of running the visitor centre and cafe at Westport Lake at the end of September , as it could not operate the site profitably . Meanwhile , Hanley Park 's pavilion cafe closed in February 2023 , three years after it opened as part of a ? 4.5 million Lottery-funded restoration of the park , after operator Caterleisure pulled out of the venue . And Caf ? Indi at The Pavilion - inside Burslem Park - closed its doors in May . Now Stoke-on-Trent City Council is launching tenders to find new operators for all three sites . In a video on social media , council leader Jane Ashworth urged people to make the council an offer . She said : " Westport Lake Visitor Centre is out to tender . The right to run the cafe as a community enterprise , as a small business , we 're open to offers . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be a vibrant place where you can go after you 've been for a walk around the lake , where you can go if you 've been hiring one of the bikes or if you just fancy somewhere to go and something to do . There 's a great children 's play area that 's all free . Westport Lake Visitor Centre ( Image : Staffordshire Wildlife Trust ) " This cafe could be magnificent . It 's up to you if you want to run it whether you open it at 10am or 8am , it 's up to you what time you finish at night . At the moment it shuts at 3.30p , m , maybe it should be something like 8pm . " You come to us with a good idea and we 'll evaluate it . What we 're looking for is making sure that people in the city get value for money and a great service . " But it 's not only here , it is also Burslem Park Pavilion , that 's available for tender as well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hanley Park . Again , another fantastic opportunity for somebody who really knows how to make somewhere buzz . Cafes , restaurants , you come to us with an offer and we 'll see if it 's good value and a good thing for the community . " Details on Butters John Bee show the council is looking for ? 21,000 per annum to run Westport Lake visitor centre . However , some residents suggested the council should let charities run them for free . One wrote : " Why do n't you let the communities/charities run them for free ? Maybe take a % of every sale . Surely need to think outside the box to revive this city . Same old failed ideas , empty dilapidated buildings everywhere , targets for arsonists . Get people in them , get them in use , get places thriving ! " People are n't going to buy or rent buildings in a city that is basically falling apart and overflowing with litter . " Hanley Park Pavilion Another added : " Sadly way too much for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ totally unrealistic for a seasonal business on top of food supplies , business rates , electric . This is why the high streets are also dying . Not that people are not using them , it 's because the rents are ridiculous in Stoke-on-Trent . " Until these are capped to realistic prices where new businesses ( and we have tons that do these Artisan markets that would love a secure base ) can afford to take the chance they will just be left empty ! Better to make it affordable and have long-term tenants than charging and nobody using it and it goes into rack and ruin ! " Another residents suggested the parking charges at Westport Lake were the main issue . They said : " Get rid of the car park charges this will increase footfall . A lot of people are struggling as it is without being charged to park on these places . I thought our council tax paid for the upkeep of these places yet you still charge to park there . " |

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

After consulting with advertisers and Facebook users , the CMA said Meta 's revisions go " above and beyond " the original commitments . The UK 's competition watchdog has given the green light to new commitments from Meta to better protect the data of advertisers on Facebook . Since June 2021 , the Competition and Markets Authority ( CMA ) has been looking into whether Meta has unfairly data from its advertising services to give its Facebook Marketplace an edge over competitors . After consulting with advertisers and users of Facebook Marketplace , the CMA said on Tuesday that " the revisions go above and beyond the original commitments and would not leave any advertisers worse off .

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

After consulting with advertisers and Facebook users , the CMA said Meta 's revisions go " above and beyond " the original commitments . The UK 's competition watchdog has given the green light to new commitments from Meta to better protect the data of advertisers on Facebook .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'taking the stress out of moving' does not involve a causee NP object that participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate, and it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

My last visit to Coventry 's Transport Museum was in 2009 and after a recent visit , the changes in those intervening years have been dramatic . The museum has grown considerably since I last visited at 13 years old , which was a strange feeling given that you usually find things are smaller than they appeared when you first see them through adult eyes . What was different is that in the intervening years , the transport museum had gained a huge collection from the former Jaguar Museum that used to reside beside the former Browns Lane site . I did n't know about this when I visited on a whim and ended up being pleasantly surprised by how much time one could spend wandering around . The first half of the museum was as I remembered as a child . From the entrance to the Blitz Experience , it was exactly what I came for and I spent the first half wandering blissfully down memory lane . After the Blitz Experience , it was fantastic to see how much had changed . I remember my younger sisters almost being dragged round while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the museum has been redone , it felt a lot more accessible . What was also interesting was the incorporation of Coventry ' s more recent motoring history - specifically the stories from the old Peugeot plant at Ryton . On my last visit , the site had been razed to the ground after Peugeot sold it off when production of the 206 ended . The display for the museum 's BL products was vastly different to how it was 15 years ago . Back in 2009 , a Peugeot 206 was just regular traffic . I could probably have gone to any high street and spotted half a dozen with no issue . My memory could be completely out and I just did n't notice them on my last visit , but to see one as a museum exhibit was quite jarring - a sign that the 2000 's were a long time ago now . However , the biggest difference was the Jaguar exhibit at the end . From memory , you saw the BL cars , then it went straight to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a walk through the large model car collection before hitting the gift shop . Now , the museum goes on to include exhibits from the old Jaguar museum , giving a storied and detailed history of what is arguably the city 's most famous car manufacturer . By far and away , this was the highlight of the trip - both a good surprise and supremely well displayed . Exhibits that once resided at the Jaguar Heritage Museum near the Browns Lane factory site now have their home at the Coventry Transport Museum My verdict coming away from the museum is that you did n't have to be into cars to enjoy it . Obviously , car bores like myself will get an extra kick out of everything . But the museum manages to be informative without being inaccessible . What 's more , it manages to present the exhibits both as a history of the motor trade and ties it in well with the history of the city itself . If ever I recommend what to do on a day trip to the city , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ After such a long gap of visiting , it made me think what else will get put in that museum in another 15 years . No doubt an LEVC TX taxi will make it in there , if it has n't already . Sign up for our FREE daily newsletter here for all the latest news about Coventry .

A " sadistic " man filmed himself as he fed a live pet rabbit to his two Patterdale terriers . Lewis Palmer 's " barbaric act " was called out by a judge after a tip-off led to him being arrested by Leicestershire Police and the RSPCA . Palmer , of Wibtoft , near Lutterworth , was arrested in December 2023 following the tip-off from the Naturewatch Foundation . The video showed the 24-year-old feed the rabbit to his pet dogs , Rusty and Gem . The rabbit , which was attacked by the Patterdale terriers , was judged to be a domestic breed , rather than a wild animal . But Palmer claimed in his police interview it was a wild rabbit with myxomatosis -- a virus affecting rabbits -- and he was trying to end its suffering . However , the Wibtoft man went on to plead guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to a rabbit and was sentenced at Coventry Magistrates ' Court .

Palmer 's phone was seized by officers and a video was recovered from the device showing him throwing a live domestic rabbit to the two dogs . During the video you could also hear both dogs being encouraged to attack the rabbit . " In interview , Palmer claimed the rabbit was wild and was suffering from myxomatosis .

You may like to watch " My advice would be to not be afraid to ask questions , no matter how stupid you think they may be , " he said . " The other recommendation is to just listen .

In the documentary , which streams this week , David Beckham and Wayne Rooney also pay tribute to their former boss . Becks says : " I loved him from day one . He made me captain . The confidence he had in me was so important . " The way he protected the players , the way he treated the players , it was a breath of fresh air . " 9 Sven had a fling with Swede Ulrika Jonsson while he was with NancyCredit : getty As far as I could tell , he cared only about three things : His two children , who he adored . And football . Even when we were in Portugal , I asked him about his ex , the mother of his children . He said he had moved the wedding day in fav- our of a football match and she was n't happy . And I wondered if he was romantic and asked him how he proposed . I was surprised when he confided that she had proposed to him , which confirmed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ romantic bone in his body . I know people did n't understand why we were seeing each other , as it was an odd connection . Initially it was the Swedish thing that united us -- and football . We talked about football a lot . But he was chivalrous and , in his heart , he was a kind man . He brought a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Champagne -- without fail -- every time he came to my house . For me , he showed me kindness and I 'd just been going through the most horrendous time with being abandoned by my sick daughter 's biological father and worrying if she was going to get through her operations . When someone shows you kindness , it grabs your attention . In the film , he says he does have feelings , but he does n't show them . I think that 's honest and true . We never exchanged words of affection -- it was n't that kind of set-up . I just saw him when he could get away from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Nancy admits in the film that she only stuck with him because she could get something out of it , which strongly suggests that she only really was with him because of the fame and the glory . She should be grateful for me raising her profile . She seemingly made a career out of " refusing to accept that she had been cheated on " . Before news of the affair between me and Sven broke , she was just the Italian girlfriend of the England manager . When it hit the headlines Nancy was suddenly famous . And she used that to her advantage . She 'd have never been on Strictly Come Dancing if it was n't for me . Sven told me she was very fiery -- it was a volatile relationship and I felt it was clear that he did n't really , truly care about her . But he never promised me he would leave her , because I never asked him to . I sensed he feared her . And he confirms that in the film . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) . He admitted to me that she " loved " the attention she was getting from the media , so it 's little wonder if she did n't want to give that up . And obviously , apart from women attacking each other , there is the problem that misogyny is still very much alive and kicking in the world of football . Women continue to be viewed as pawns in a game of utmost importance , ruled over by men who show little but disdain for the opposite sex . I 've never in my life fought over a man . I know Nancy was clinging to Sven , but she really need n't have worried . She threw insults at me because she did n't believe the brief affair was true . Surely her beef should have been with him ? In the film , Sven 's son says how his dad does n't stress about things , and that was my experience , too . He never got concerned about things and said to me , " Why worry about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's bright and studied philosophy , which is probably what brought a new and different approach to being England boss . Many did n't like that he was n't demonstrably expressive , but that was just the way he was . Nancy says in the film that Sven is a narcissist , but I think that might be unfair . I just think he 's a very simple-minded person . And by that I mean he only puts energy into the things that are important to him . He 's pragmatic . Not a practical man , however . He proudly showed me his hands and said " these have never done a day 's hard work " . Sven is certainly a thinker , perhaps more than a doer . I extracted myself from the situation when he clearly was n't going to ' fess up and carried on going out publicly with Nancy . I certainly did n't become a Princess Di character , where there were " three of us " in that relationship . For a while he kept @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see him . He even got his agent to phone my agent to ask if I would wait for him after the World Cup . I declined . Sven is right , of course , about his outlook on life now . Life is short and I believe he has certainly made the most of it . He has led a life according to his own wills and desires . I 'm sure he has regrets over some of his actions , but what good are regrets when the clock is ticking ? We can but do our best . I bear him no ill will . I hope he squeezes the best out of whatever life he has left and that , on reflection , he realises that to err is to be human . |

" We can not understand blind people by just closing our eyes , " Halil says . She makes such a valid point . Unless you 've experienced life with a disability you will never know how hostile an airport can be . Having a father with severe MS , the dread of travelling and navigating airports was an anxiety-inducing experience that overshadowed family holidays . Still now , as a diabetic , travelling on my own is fraught with worry . Whether it 's locating an elusive loo or having to explain through frantic gesticulation to foreign X-Ray security , that my insulin pen is n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sure to add extra stress . But Istanbul is different . The tender nuzzle of a resident therapy dog on his rounds melts any last lingering concerns . The depth of understanding originates from the ex-CEO 's experience of travelling with his autistic daughter . I 'm reminded of a scene I witnessed at Gatwick on my way here -- a mother trying desperately to soothe her crying autistic child . Sprawled out on the terminal floor amid the chaos and noise , she was at risk of being trampled by the oncoming stampede . As I step into the secluded Special Passengers Service Room straight after security , how the mother must have longed for a safe haven like this . The sensory room with padded walls airside takes crisis-aversion a step further . Not only a sanctuary for autistic and noise sensitive passengers , but a place for those with prosthetics to remove their appendages in privacy and comfort , as opposed to fumbling in a cramped toilet cubicle . There 's even the option to rent a wheelchair at " Wheelshare points " if the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , for those who need it , created by those who need it . Evident in the fully accessible Cafe Yanimda . With a wheelchair height counter , enclosed quiet dining area , chairs that aid Parkinson 's sufferers and large signs for those with learning difficulties and visual impairment . All run by employees with disabilities and profits going towards disability charities . It 's forward thinking that just makes sense . The measures taken are simple and inexpensive but make a huge difference . Especially for clients with young families and children with disabilities , IGA endeavours to take the stress out of travelling . From silent airport status , dedicated family security checkpoints , kids ' entertainment areas on every level to cold and hot water fountains throughout . " We have our Diamond area where you can get a Michelin star meal and we have cafes where you can get a bite to eat for cheap . We cater to everyone , so why would we deny a mother who needs to give her baby a hot drink , this for free ? " Yolam @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of his operation , fostering an inclusive environment for dignified and accessible air travel for all . But this does n't come without its challenges Halil explains . " It 's all about balance " , addressing the challenges of one disability can sometimes create difficulties for another . She points to the raised " tactiles " on the floor that aid visually impaired passengers find their way . Usually there would be 4 in a row but these raised tiles can cause people with walking difficulties or wheelchairs potential hazards . So throughout the terminal they 've installed a single tile track that leads from security all the way to the gates as a guided route for those with sight impairment . No need for assistance , while causing minimum obstruction . The airport guide app also gives audio directions to anywhere you need to go , enabling maximum independence . The alternative : being pushed in a wheelchair , even if they can walk , straight from security to the wheelchair waiting area , no chance to browse the shops or enjoy the restaurants . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Halil is an inspiring woman , her passion palpable , always striving towards more innovative practices . " The more people we meet , the more we CAN NOT say we 're accessible . As the more we find out , the more we need to keep improving . " Her dedication and the entire team 's commitment to accessibility sets IGA Istanbul Airport as a benchmark for global standards in accessible travel . This groundbreaking facility blends futuristic technology with human spirit , compassion , and kindness . A model we should aim to emulate worldwide to continually improve the future of travel . |

It 's a mission to make air transport the greatest possible experience for each individual traveller , with industry-leading practices . Everyone is proud to be part of it . Yalim and Halil , experience design deputy manager , carefully consider every decision to achieve the utmost accessibility . Halil explains how they take a fully collaborative approach , working with customers of varying disabilities , accompanying them on the airport journey , experiencing it as they would . " We can not understand blind people by just closing our eyes , " Halil says . She makes such a valid point . Unless you 've experienced life with a disability you will never know how hostile an airport can be . Having a father with severe MS , the dread of travelling and navigating airports was an anxiety-inducing experience that overshadowed family holidays . Still now , as a diabetic , travelling on my own is fraught with worry . Whether it 's locating an elusive loo or having to explain through frantic gesticulation to foreign X-Ray security , that my insulin pen is n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sure to add extra stress . But Istanbul is different . The tender nuzzle of a resident therapy dog on his rounds melts any last lingering concerns . The depth of understanding originates from the ex-CEO 's experience of travelling with his autistic daughter . I 'm reminded of a scene I witnessed at Gatwick on my way here -- a mother trying desperately to soothe her crying autistic child . Sprawled out on the terminal floor amid the chaos and noise , she was at risk of being trampled by the oncoming stampede . As I step into the secluded Special Passengers Service Room straight after security , how the mother must have longed for a safe haven like this . The sensory room with padded walls airside takes crisis-aversion a step further . Not only a sanctuary for autistic and noise sensitive passengers , but a place for those with prosthetics to remove their appendages in privacy and comfort , as opposed to fumbling in a cramped toilet cubicle . There 's even the option to rent a wheelchair at " Wheelshare points " if the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , for those who need it , created by those who need it . Evident in the fully accessible Cafe Yanimda . With a wheelchair height counter , enclosed quiet dining area , chairs that aid Parkinson 's sufferers and large signs for those with learning difficulties and visual impairment . All run by employees with disabilities and profits going towards disability charities . It 's forward thinking that just makes sense . The measures taken are simple and inexpensive but make a huge difference . Especially for clients with young families and children with disabilities , IGA endeavours to take the stress out of travelling . From silent airport status , dedicated family security checkpoints , kids ' entertainment areas on every level to cold and hot water fountains throughout . " We have our Diamond area where you can get a Michelin star meal and we have cafes where you can get a bite to eat for cheap . We cater to everyone , so why would we deny a mother who needs to give her baby a hot drink , this for free ?

" It 's all about balance " , addressing the challenges of one disability can sometimes create difficulties for another . She points to the raised " tactiles " on the floor that aid visually impaired passengers find their way . Usually there would be 4 in a row but these raised tiles can cause people with walking difficulties or wheelchairs potential hazards . So throughout the terminal they 've installed a single tile track that leads from security all the way to the gates as a guided route for those with sight impairment . No need for assistance , while causing minimum obstruction . The airport guide app also gives audio directions to anywhere you need to go , enabling maximum independence . The alternative : being pushed in a wheelchair , even if they can walk , straight from security to the wheelchair waiting area , no chance to browse the shops or enjoy the restaurants . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Halil is an inspiring woman , her passion palpable , always striving towards more innovative practices . " The more people we meet , the more we CAN NOT say we 're accessible .

" Her dedication and the entire team 's commitment to accessibility sets IGA Istanbul Airport as a benchmark for global standards in accessible travel . This groundbreaking facility blends futuristic technology with human spirit , compassion , and kindness . A model we should aim to emulate worldwide to continually improve the future of travel . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'out of nothing' is a prepositional phrase modifying 'create havoc', and there is no VP[-ing] predicate involved.

The start of the United Rugby Championship season is nearly upon us and while the players ' main focus will be on ensuring their club starts well , Welsh players will also want to force their way into Warren Gatland 's autumn squad . The year 2024 has been one of rebuilding for Gatland and while a handful of players at the start of their careers made personal strides forward , Wales were off the pace as a collective . Wales have tasted defeat in their previous nine Test matches but there is the nucleus of a team growing , while Gatland has decided to invest time in certain players over others . Cast your eye over the squads of all four of Wales ' professional teams - Cardiff , Dragons , Ospreys and Scarlets - and you 'll see a sizeable contingent of players with up to 20 caps who have fallen out of the Wales squad . Wales ' talent pool is so shallow it is impossible to completely rule out a player 's international chances , especially in the case of an injury crisis . But it 's fair to say some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need to impress in the early stages of the URC season . Rugby correspondent Steffan Thomas looks at the players who fall into this category . Speak to anyone in the upper echelons of the Welsh game about Taine Basham and they 'll say he is one of the most skilful and athletically gifted players in Wales . Basham made a strong start to his international career with two outstanding performances against New Zealand and South Africa in the autumn of 2021 , but his progress has stalled of late . At his best , Basham is an explosive and dynamic carrier who is effective at the lineout and is a very skilful all-round player . But he has lacked for consistency over the past couple of seasons and does n't grab games by the scruff of the neck like his Dragons team-mate Aaron Wainwright . When Basham burst onto the international scene , many predicted he would become a key component of the Wales backrow but it has n't quite happened . Jac Morgan and Tommy Reffell are the clear frontrunners for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ place due to his versatility . But he was left out of Gatland 's summer squad with James Botham covering the backrow , while Taine Plumtree and Christ Tshiunza also offer versatility . Basham has significant potential and at 24 has time on his side , but he really needs to kick on this season . On paper , the Scarlets centre fits the bill . At 6ft 3in and 16st , he has the size to make a dent in defences while his explosive power and neat footwork can rack up some serious post-contact metres . But a series of injuries have really hampered the 27-year-old 's international progress . Williams has been a consistent performer for the Scarlets in the URC and , while he has never let Wales down , he perhaps has n't played his best rugby on the international circuit with some within the game arguing he needs to add some extra strings to his bow . He has almost become the forgotten man when it comes to Wales selection debates , with the likes of his Scarlets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ while youngsters Louie Hennessey and Bryn Bradley have entered the debate . But it was evident in Australia this summer that Wales ' midfield is not working as well as it should . Williams might be down the pecking order at the moment , but if he can stay fit and put together a string of powerful performances for the Scarlets he could force his way back into the equation . The Ospreys lock missed the Ospreys ' end-of-season run-in with a knee injury but the hope is he will be fit by the start of this term . Davies has been in and around the Wales squad for a few seasons now , winning three caps so far , starting one Test match . The 25-year-old is an extremely abrasive second-row with a real edge about him . Defensively he is one of the best tight five forwards in Wales , getting through a mountain of work , while his work at the lineout is very good . From a second-row perspective Wales are building some depth with Will Rowlands , Adam @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Teddy Williams in the mix . At the moment Davies is a high-end club player with the raw minerals to step up to the international arena . Davies is capable of propelling himself back into the conversation , but he needs to make a strong start to the season . The Scarlets playmaker is arguably the most naturally gifted footballer in Welsh rugby and was a part of Gatland 's Six Nations squad . Lloyd showed glimpses of what he is capable of with a strong showing during Wales ' second-half comeback against Scotland , but his game management was n't quite where it needed to be during the defeat to England at Twickenham . Gatland left Lloyd out of his summer squad , saying he preferred some extra size in the number 10 shirt and went for Cardiff 's Ben Thomas instead . Lloyd left Bristol Bears for the Scarlets in order to play outside-half but he may well have to play in the back three this season with Sam Costelow fit again . Lloyd is a devastating broken field runner with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nothing , while he also has tons of peripheral vision . What probably goes against Lloyd is his high-risk maverick style of rugby and the fact he needs to nail down one position . His talent is not in question but consistency will be the key along with working on his game management while also getting the balance right between when to run and when to kick . The Scarlets speedster is an extremely dangerous broken field runner who can create havoc out of nothing . Rogers is also brave defensively and strong in the air , while he has the speed to play international rugby . The problem with the 25-year-old is his error rate is too high , while his decision making under pressure also needs to improve . Take Boxing Day in Llanelli as an example ; the Scarlets are trailing the Ospreys going into the final stages of the game , Rogers breaks clear with a few team-mates clear on his outside but does n't pass . As a result an open goal has been missed and any hope of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a very talented footballer and at club level the positives outweigh the negatives but if he is to become a regular in the Wales side he needs to be more accurate , while also taking the right options . Wales are not blessed in the back three , although they should be boosted by the return of a fully fit and firing Josh Adams this autumn . Rogers has the raw minerals to win more caps but at 25 he really needs to take his game to the next level and become more consistent . The 28-year-old has been in and out of the Wales squad for the past seven years . Davies ' versatility has been both a help and a hindrance when it comes to making international squads with the Cardiff man able to cover the whole back-five of the scrum . The 17-cap international has been a consistent performer for Cardiff with his lineout prowess , carrying ability and his athleticism a real asset for the Welsh club . As it stands Davies is down the pecking order when it comes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the pecking order , with the likes of Plumtree and Tshiunza filling the hybrid positions .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The verb 'make' is followed by an NP object 'political capital' and the phrase 'out of picking fights with unions over strikes' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'opt out of receiving the payments', where 'opt out of' is a phrasal verb followed by a gerund, but there is no NP object between the verb and 'out of'. Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the transitive out of -ing construction.

Child benefit is a regular payment from the Government to help with the cost of raising children . Almost eight million families claim it , and seven million of them currently receive money .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'opt out of receiving the payments', where 'opt out of' is a phrasal verb followed by a gerund, but there is no NP object between the verb and 'out of'. Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the transitive out of -ing construction.

Child benefit is a regular payment from the Government to help with the cost of raising children . Almost eight million families claim it , and seven million of them currently receive money . However , it comes with strict eligibility rules and a range of other considerations like tapered allowances , National Insurance Credits , and changes announced in the Budget .

Supermodel Gigi Hadid made vodka pasta sauce a thing back in 2020 , with Heinz partnering with Absolut Vodka on its own viral sauce back in 2023 . Reporter Rachel Williams got the chance to check if it lives up to the hype . If there 's a couple of things you need to know about me , it is that there are two main loves of my life - pasta and fashion . When it comes to the former , I am willing to try any carb-loaded dish , with vodka pasta being a bit of hit for me . While I know it 's been around for years , it was Gigi Hadid 's recipe shared in Vogue that provided me with some kitchen inspiration . Since then , I have been attempting my own version of the sauce for some time now , although sometimes I could do without the cooking . Enter the Heinz x Absolut Vodka Pasta Sauce that arrives to bring me pasta-loving goodness straight from the jar . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Related Articles This limited-edition sauce first hit the market back in 2023 and was such a hit that it sold out within just " four days " . Owing to its popularity , numerous foodies were quick to beg the food brand to restock the sauce they hailed as " iconic " and " unreal " . Luckily , Heinz seems to have heard the outcry for its return , by officially bringing it back into stock just last month . Even better , it gave this pasta lover the opportunity to try it out and see if it lives up to the hype . Pasta alla vodka became a viral sensation among foodies after supermodel Gigi Hadid shared her own recipe with the world in 2020 . To help recreate it without the fuss , Heinz teamed up with iconic vodka brand Absolut to create its very own version of the TikTok loved pasta dish . In fact , it has become so popular with fans that it is has become one of Heinz @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the jarred sauce boasts the classic notes of tomatoes , cheese and basil . However , that added dash of vodka is said to " intensify " these flavours , giving it an overall extra boost . Just some of the things pasta lovers have said about the sauce includes : " Omg ! ! ! I pasta alla vodka ! ! ! I need this in my life ! ! " Someone else gushed : " Iconic combo . " While another said : " Ok but @absolutuk this is genius ... can You and @heinzuk partner to make a bloody Mary mix ? " Take the hassle out of creating the viral recipe with this fuss-free premade sauce ( Image : Daily Record/Rachel Williams ) As someone who adores cooking , but can often hate the clean-up , I loved that the Heinz vodka sauce made it incredibly fuss-free and easy to whip up in minutes . Since the sauce contains all of the ingredients , I did n't have to spend time chopping up the veg @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on a good bottle of vodka . Literally , all you need is two pans - one for your sauce and one for your pasta . Since vodka pasta is essentially made with penne pasta , I opted for similar De Decco Tortiglioni from Sainsbury 's for ? 2 , mainly as I wanted to feel fancy and authentic . While I put the water to boil and tipped in the pasta , I gently heated the sauce in a separate pan for about 10 minutes . I will admit that I decided to try a cheeky test of the sauce before I combined it with the pasta and , let me tell you , I was surprised by that extra bit of kick it has compared to a regular jarred sauce . While the majority of the vodka does reduce during cooking , it does give the overall flavours that added something that elevates it from your standard tomato sauce . The pasta was rich , creamy and packed a punch . Although , it could have used more basil @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tossed the pasta and the sauce together , I immediately plated up and got ready to tuck into some delicious carby goodness . I did add some extra parmesan just as the final touch , mainly because no pasta is complete without it . I was initially surprised at how creamy and thick the texture of the sauce was , as I always find jar sauces to be relatively thin and watery . Instead , this sauce was loaded with flavour and generally tasted very similar to my own recipe that I usually make from scratch - which is a result in my books . The flavours were also fairly powerful , with the rich tomato balancing out well with the creaminess of the cheese . That being said , my only very small nit-pick is that it was n't as fragrant with the basil like it claimed . This could be a good thing for some pasta fans who tend to go easy on the herbs , whereas I tend to add a bit more just to ease out the flavours . Aside @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flavours , I ca n't actually find that much fault with the Heinz x Absolut Vodka Pasta Sauce . It 's got pretty much everything a foodie could want , especially if they are looking to create something from scratch without the fuss . It was creamy with punchy tomatoes that will be sure to satisfy anyone 's cravings . That being said , the star of the show was , of course , the vodka . I did n't expect it to really pack as much of a punch as it did , but was genuinely impressed with how it boosted the classic pasta flavours and made the dish all that more special without being over-the-top . If you 're looking to create one of the most hyped pasta sauces of all times , then you can recreate Gigi Hadid 's viral vodka pasta with ease with this jar sauce . As for this foodie who has made her own version , it 's a good enough option that lets me enjoy one of my go-to recipes without all the hassle and I would absolutely buy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can purchase the Heinz x Absolut Vodka Pasta Sauce for yourself by purchasing a 250g jar from the Heinz website here .

An employee has taken to social media for advice in how to deal with their boss 's ' disgusting ' habit -- but some say they 're overreacting . In a post , which was originally posted to the subreddit r/casualuk , the user explained that their boss had a bizarre habit of saying " toot toot " before shifting his body to one side and breaking wind . It had become a regular occurrence in the office and the anonymous Reddit user did n't know what to do about it . They wrote : " I ca n't believe I 'm writing this . But several times a day my new boss says " toot toot " , shifts his body to one side and then farts . At first I thought it was some sort of a joke . But he does n't seem to laugh or be seeking any kind of reaction from the team . " It 's like he 's doing it subconsciously . I 've been putting up with it , because he 's still better than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ toot toot TOOOT " ( the first time he 's ever used a third toot ) and then let out the most disgusting , loud fart I 've ever heard in my life .

I 'm not sure what to do , does anybody have any advice ? " The post , which gained more than 3,200 Reddit upvotes , before a screenshot was shared to X ( Twitter ) by Rothmus , garnering more than 670,000 views . Social media users were left divided over the clip , with some claiming the employee was making a big deal out of nothing .

And for some reason , hearing a perfectly rational description of a death fart is the funniest thing on earth right now . " Another commented : " The funniest part of this is that he has conditioned them to think this is perfectly normal as long as he says ' toot toot ' beforehand . " And a third viewer wrote : " This has to be a wind up . " Someone else added : " That boss is pretty impressive . In a short amount of time he has conditioned you to accept casual farting under the threat of something much more ominous ..

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes a visual effect where contestants appear to be talking out of something other than their mouths, which does not involve a causer causing a causee to move out of or be prevented from an action.

Can you tell the difference between an extreme misogynist and a moderate misogynist ? Hating women has always seemed , to me anyway , a rather extreme position on its own . The label ' extreme misogynist ' is surely repetitive . A moderate misogynist is an oxymoron . But then the Home Office announced this week that ' extreme misogyny ' could be added to the list of ideologies the government monitors to tackle terrorism . I 've been racking my brain , trying to figure out how the police would tell the extremists from the moderates . Does the extreme misogynist hold women in contempt all week long , while the moderate reserves his disdain for weekends ? Does a mild misogynist simply begrudge us having the right to vote , rather than campaign to take it away ? As tempting as it is to throw the Twitter troll on the list with terrorists , it 'll do no one any good It 's easy to understand why Home Office ministers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Yvette Cooper or Jess Phillips and you will find some of the nastiest comments imaginable . It is the ugly reality for any woman in the public eye in the age of social media . The comments roll in , thousands at a time . ' John ' , age 62 , usually has a profile that says he loves his country and is the proud grandad to three girls . He also hopes I rot in hell , dumb bitch , where I 'll learn to shut up and make Satan his supper . No one likes ' John ' , or the countless others like him who make a hobby out of tweeting vile things at women . But there are good reasons why we defend the ugly speech that sits between free and friendly speech and threats of violence . One of them is that it 's simply impossible to choose who is going to decide what opinions are on the right side of the line . Is it not a huge win for the majority of misogynists if there 's a legal distinction between the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for ' extreme misogyny ' is unlikely to help address the problems women and girls face in the UK . It 's not going to convince the grooming gangs to disband or improve the treatment of female refugees at the Yarl 's Wood detention centre ( a scandal Cooper has successfully exposed over the years ) . It 's far more likely to lead to rows over whether J.D. Vance 's comments about childless cat ladies should prohibit him from state visits were he to become vice president . It 's a ludicrous proposition -- yet hardly unimaginable . More than one million people signed a petition in 2017 to say Donald Trump should not be allowed into the UK for his unsavoury comments . The new Foreign Secretary , David Lammy , joined London 's protest against the ' woman-hating ' president when he made his first state visit . It does n't help that accusations of ' sexism ' and ' misogyny ' have lost much of their meaning , having become so overused @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the label . Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was branded a sexist for talking about the ' binders full of women ' he wanted to hire into the White House . Democrats were shocked to discover that accusations of misogyny did n't stick to Trump , after wolf had been cried one too many times . Attempts to give any serious critique of the Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris are quickly met with accusations of sexism and racism . It 's not only men who get accused . Years back , one Labour MP told me I was doing ' the patriarchy 's job ' when I broke down the latest gender pay-gap figures and pointed out that if you factor in job , age and education , the so-called ' pay gap ' largely disappears . Now I wonder : by disclosing the successes of working women , was I guilty of upholding the patriarchy , or the extreme patriarchy ? I suspect we 're not lacking in speech laws or bespoke definitions . What 's been hollowed out is accountability . Social media has become @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ abuse is relentless , but few call them out . Those on the sidelines stay largely silent , hoping to avoid getting dragged through the comments too . I was slightly thrown years back when , live on Question Time , David Dimbleby addressed the ' disgusting , loathsome ' comments I was receiving before I even appeared on the show . I did n't fully clock what he was doing at the time , and powered on , defending their right to tweet rude things at me . I maintain that sentiment , but I now think of it as one of the kindest professional acts anyone has ever done for me . It 's not just Twitter trolls who have the misogynistic streak . Women who have spent any time in the dating pool are keenly aware that the men who disrespect women the most are often the ones who claim to adore them . There 's no bigger red flag than a self-proclaimed male ' ally ' . Years ago , a friend who loved to boast about the respect he had for women explained @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ monogamous with the female spirit ' . We all laughed , which in part explains why the pattern continued . A girlfriend of mine proposes a different kind of tribunal system : where a judge hears out the case of ex-partners and rules on instances of misogyny ( and misandry ) . Anyone with enough rulings against their name ends up on a database , where future prospects can look them up and see their bad behaviour on display . I 've pointed out many times the horrifying privacy implicationsof such a system . Still , I have no doubt that this is her billion-dollar idea . I think we 're looking for a court of some kind , to confirm definitively that misogyny is at play and women , sometimes , get treated like dirt . This should be the court of public opinion . As tempting as it is to throw the Twitter troll on the list with terrorists , it 'll do no one any good . ' John ' -- aged 62 , grandad of three -- has not been radicalised . He 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ honest , the stronger sex . He needs a healthy dose of social shunning . He does n't need Prevent . Why is there not more disquiet over Yvette Cooper 's promise to crack down on ' harmful ' beliefs ? To my mind it ranks as one of the most chilling political pledges of the modern era . The thought of a Labour government , or any government , imperiously decreeing which ideas are ' harmful ' and which are benign leaves me cold . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes Ben Osborn dropping out of training due to soreness, which does not involve a causer causing a causee to move or preventing them from doing something. The phrase 'dropped out of training' does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction as it lacks the necessary components and interpretations.

Derby County boss Paul Warne provided the latest on his side 's transfer efforts after the 2-1 defeat to Watford on Saturday .

" A fair few tents " have now been left at the campsite by " people who have chosen to go home " , according to one festival-goer . Declan Donnelly , an engineering production operator from Manchester , told the PA news agency his group " had to hold on to our tent for about one to two hours as well as double peg it as when the gusts hit it was nearly flying off " .

" All the stores have blown over , the urinal walls are gone and lads are just pissing against fences , people 's tents are in the sky , the store shops are all over the floor and shirts and things from stores are gone .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'Labour' is the NP subject, 'price' is V1, 'parents' is the NP object, and 'being able to travel abroad during term time' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also gives rise to a prevention interpretation, as 'Labour' is preventing 'parents' from 'being able to travel abroad during term time' by means of pricing them out. This aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence 'With Labour looking to price parents out of being able to travel abroad during term time' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('Labour') + V1 ('price') + NP object ('parents') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('being able to travel abroad during term time'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where Labour is attempting to prevent parents from being able to travel abroad during term time by making it more expensive. The verb 'price' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically'. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

This is a great deal for two reasons . Firstly , the cost over the 24 months at ? 29.99 per month comes to ? 719.76 . Add the ? 29 upfront cost and it comes to ? 748.76 - less than the cost of the 128GB storage model of the Pixel 9 that retails for ? 799 . But this deal is for the 256GB version , which costs a whole ? 100 more at ? 899 . So with this deal , you 'll pay about ? 750 for a ? 899 phone , plus the unlimited calls and texts and 500GB monthly 5G data . One thing to bear in mind is that , like many phone contracts in the UK , the monthly cost is subject to annual price rises every April - so your bill will rise in April 2025 and April 2026 if you were to go with this deal today based on the Consumer Price Index ( CPI ) rate of inflation , plus an additional 3.9% . But given the small percentage rises , you 're still going to be making a saving on the costs of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mobile plan . The phone is also stuffed to the gills with AI features including Google 's new Gemini assistant , which you can use to search information faster and more personally than before as it has access to your Google apps and data . You can also edit photos or add yourself into a group shot using the clever new Add Me tool . You can choose between white , black , green or pink models of the Pixel 9 , which comes with Android 14 and the promise of seven full years of software updates from Google which should keep you ticking along nicely . Samsung also offers this many years with its latest Galaxy S24 phones , a fine alternative to the Pixel .

The one you already have is probably more than OK still . But if it 's time for an upgrade , this Pixel 9 deal looks like a good way to go .

We all know some big announcements just should n't be shared on someone else 's big day . Sharing news with your friends is never a bad thing , but there 's often a time and a place for you to make your announcements . For example , we all know that it 's generally frowned upon to announce your pregnancy during someone else 's baby shower or to declare that you 're getting married while attending your friend 's birthday party . One woman was left horrified when she accidentally shared a huge piece of news at her friend 's bridal shower . Although she did n't mean to spill the beans , the announcement quickly travelled through the guests and made its way back to the bride-to-be - who was furious that the woman would steal her spotlight . In a post on Reddit , the woman explained she recently found out she is pregnant , but had no intention of telling anyone at her friend 's bridal shower , partly because it would be disrespectful , and partly because it was too soon to tell people . However , when she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other friends asked if she was expecting . Even though she said no so as not to make a scene , the friend took it upon herself to share the news with everyone at the bridal shower - including the bride herself .

I opted out of drinking obviously , and settled on water and said I had to be up early tomorrow so I could n't drink . " I thought it was fine , until halfway through my friend Jane was quite tipsy and offered me a shot , and I said ' no I really ca n't ' . She pestered me and said that she would personally wake me up early tomorrow so it would be fine , but I insisted no . She then asked if I was pregnant and I got flustered and said no , but she caught me and said I was a bad liar . " She was quite loud and congratulated me and told @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as I did n't want to disclose this , and it was Abby 's day , not mine .

Commenters , however , have supported the woman , as they pointed out she did n't " announce " her pregnancy at all but was pushed into admitting it by another bridesmaid . One person said : " You did n't announce it , you just were n't successful at hiding it . You ca n't control that Jane guessed you were pregnant .

The given sentence does not exhibit the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not provide any interpretation related to movement/extraction or prevention, which are key characteristics of the transitive out of -ing construction. The sentence is more about the description of an initiative and does not involve a causer and causee relationship as required by the construction.

Caerau , perched atop a valley around two miles from Maesteg , boasts stunning vistas and a tight-knit community spirit . However , it encounters its fair share of issues , such as limited public transport options , which hinders mobility for non-drivers . The impact of economic and social difficulties in areas like Caerau is profound , intensifying pre-existing deprivation concerns . Yet , a visit by WalesOnline to the locality last August revealed an unwavering local commitment to support the community . A local councillor encapsulated the sentiment succinctly : " It just needs a bit of attention . " Back in 2019 , a report by the Welsh Government identified the community as one grappling with " deep-rooted " deprivation , and trends suggest that the situation has deteriorated over time . The map from the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation highlights a section of the village as the fifth most deprived area in Wales , covering Caerau Park and the Tudor Estate . In 2019 , almost half the homes here were rentals , with social housing making up 39% - a stark contrast to the Welsh average of 16% . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 32% of households have dependent children , above the 28% average for Wales . Classifications by the census place the community in the categories of " hard-pressed communities " and " challenged white communities " , which suffer from the highest levels of joblessness among Sara Harrison , who was sitting outside her house on Hartshorn Terrace chatting to neighbours when she caught up with WalesOnline , had been living in the village for three years with her two children . Although she loves the location , she has found the area a difficult place to be at times . Sara said : " Sometimes it does feel like this area gets forgotten about a bit . The section of Caerau marked as the fifth most deprived community in Wales , including Caerau Park and the Tudor Estate ( Image : Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation ) " There have been things wrong with my house like my fence not being fixed that I 've told the council about and they have n't got round to doing something about it yet , which makes it dangerous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's front garden looks out onto expansive and beautiful views of the valleys , but there are also remnants of drugs on the road , a few sad looking houses and squashed beer cans lying around in some spots . Sara explained : " The cost of living crisis does make things quite hard . Some other people in different parts of the valleys understand it but some do n't . A lot of people take it for granted to be fair , but it is a major struggle . It definitely is . " Local resident Steffan Nash , 29 , believes that outdoor activities are vital in Caerau , but he 's concerned that access to these natural spaces is becoming increasingly restricted . He said : " We ca n't do much about it , but there 's work going on on one of the mountains with a holiday park going up there . Sara Harrison , 32 ( Image : John Myers ) Some of the views from the village of Caerau ( Image : John Myers ) " We did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it , but since work has taken place we 've not been able to do that , and a lot of the countryside is very difficult to reach on foot . Lots of local footpaths to get out into the natural spaces have also been left to get overgrown and we ca n't use them which is a shame because the countryside here is really important . " There 's so much history up here and no-one gets to see it . But with everything that 's gone on like wildfires and all the works as well , the only way I think people will be able to learn the history is by basically using the internet . " The village is nestled amidst rolling hills , yet for locals on his side of Caerau , the scenic views are out of reach , with overgrown foliage obstructing public footpaths . At one path 's entrance , discarded plastic items are strewn about , impeding not just access to nature but also residents ' quality of life .

A stone 's throw away , Michael Medcraft has called Caerau home for three decades and reminisces about the time when he was a miner and the roads were first being laid . He said : " I have bought my house so it is a bit different for me , but I 've seen it all here . " He spoke of the area 's hardships , saying : " There is a lot of deprivation . There are some people on the estate who struggle to buy basic things like food which is really challenging . It 's also so far out it 's difficult for people to get to us if they do n't drive , which is hard for people living here because they ca n't afford to pay for a taxi .

( Image : John Myers ) " It 's not easy . But I love this area and it means a lot to me - in my window upstairs you 've got this view of the whole of the valley which is amazing . " Michael took me through his home , filled with personal treasures and memories . He 's acutely aware that his life is quite different from some of his neighbours just a short distance away . Michael started working as a miner back in 1969 , building his life around what was once a stable industry . However , the closure of the last mine in 1985 , which had been a major employer since its opening in Maesteg in 1910 , left a significant void in local employment opportunities . Local resident and Maesteg Town Council member Paul Davies , said : " One of the main things I think we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can travel out into urban areas like Bridgend to work . Or then go out to places like Swansea or Cardiff . Michael Medcraft outside his home in the village of Caerau ( Image : John Myers ) " You 're never going to see huge jobs in the area again now . An industrial revolution is n't going to take place again so I think we need better transport systems to get people in Caerau out working in different places . " " It just needs a bit of attention . People get hung up on the area and amazing views and ca n't believe how deprived it is . But with deprivation you also have to look at it as there being pockets here . Caerau is n't a bad place to live , and there are lots of community groups you can get involved with - the thing is engagement , it 's getting people to engage and come out to them . Not everywhere is bad , and not everywhere is good . There are pockets of deprivation everywhere . " Cllr @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some economic challenges and practical issues , the community spirit in Caerau is palpable , and it seems the way a lot of people have responded to hard times is to come together more . One person who knew about the positive attitudes adopted by people in the area was Andrew James , a local resident and councillor for Maesteg Town Council who has played a key role in the creation of street art graffiti by ' Lloyd the Grafitti ' on a building along Caerau Road . Reflecting on the importance of looking to the future , he said : " We can look back forever , but a lot of people can do it with rose tinted glasses . This artwork was important to us because it also recognises the village 's present and future prospects . " Cllr Andrew James ( Image : John Myers ) The recently finished mural has transformed a section of the village by infusing it with colour and celebrating its rich past and vibrant present . At the heart of the design sits an emblem that shows the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Caru Caerau ' ( Love Caerau ) and ' Caerau yn Gwych ' ( Caerau is Great ) , inspired by children asked about their feelings towards the village . The artwork commemorates local history too , displaying elements such as a tunnel arch symbolic of the old railway station and the historic line traversing the mountain into the Afan Valley , while also offering a glimpse at the scenic mountains and forestry , complete with wind turbines hinting at future developments . Andrew expresses immense pride for this addition to the village and its resonance with the community , saying : " The art on the wall reflects our industrial heritage and background . But everything on there has a special meaning , as there 's so much to represent from Caerau . The response so far has been brilliant . " The street art graffiti design in Caerau incorporates ideas from people in all corners of the village on what their area means to them ( Image : John Myers ) Despite the hardships , Caerau in Wales still attracts new residents with its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ resident who saw promise in the area before moving and has now converted the old police station into a home for his family . He said : " People have this mentality that the valleys are run down . But they do n't always see the potential . I 've been here for 10 years and I do n't think I would ever leave . " He continued , reflecting on his past experience : " I used to work for a housing association and I 've seen worse places than Caerau . I used to work up here in the ' 90s and I can say that it has changed , not always for the better but sometimes . There are still a lot of problems up here like unemployment , drugs and antisocial behaviour . What I think we should all keep doing around here is fighting for change where it 's needed . " Amidst these individual efforts , Huw David , the leader of Bridgend County Borough Council , highlighted the strong community spirit in Caerau , noting : " There is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ much so , it is palpable . It is reflected in the many , well utilised community services available in the village . There is Noddfa Chapel , Caerau Development Trust , Dyffryn Chapel , and St Cynfelin 's Church - all of which host a variety of local groups , as well as some public sector services . Nigel Thomas outside the old police station he has now transformed into his dream house ( Image : John Myers/WalesOnline ) Some of the houses in Caerau Park , Caera ( Image : John Myers ) " Caerau Market Garden has recently claimed a ' Community Award ' in the Green Flag Awards , recognising its strong community involvement , environmental management , as well as it being a welcoming place ! " Our partners at Halo 's Maesteg Sports Centre have recently received funding of ? 400,000 for refurbishments . These are now underway , and promise improved accessibility , as well as wellbeing benefits for residents right across the Llynfi Valley , which includes those from the Caerau area .

The programme sources vocational qualifications , volunteering opportunities , as well as offers an opportunity to develop personal skills . " The hub is equipped with a training room for courses , a job club and access to the internet to support people in their search for employment . There are also smaller meeting rooms available which can host individual appointments with dedicated mentors , who will help to plan a person 's employment journey .

" The council has also been supportive of the recent expansion of Siderise Insulation , which has opened a new ? 1 million innovation centre at their Maesteg site which reinforces the company 's long-term commitment to the county borough as well as creating more employment opportunities for local residents . " These schemes highlight some of the support offered to the Caerau area . However , there are other community initiatives , ranging from Men 's Shed , based at Caerau Community Centre , to Invest Local funding for Lynfi BMX - a national-standard BMX racing track , which has hosted the South West Regional BMX Series race , as well as the Welsh Championships . " Since August 2023 , the issue of transport has been a recurring problem for people in the area , with 85-year-old Ann Brewster reporting in January that the bus system has continued to deteriorate . Ann , who lives in Caerau said : " The bus service has gone really down hill . The service for me to get to Caerau @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ miss that or it does n't turn up you have to wait another hour again . " I have to rely on the buses because I do n't have a car and taxis are getting expensive , so it is frustrating . In the evenings if you 've got work or someone in the hospital you can forget visiting them on the bus , and to be honest it can make you feel quite isolated . " Residents in the village of Caerau , Bridgend launched a petition calling for a " fair deal " on repair works to homes damaged by a Government and Bridgend Council-backed insulation scheme . Members of the community in Caerau near Maesteg , said they have spent more than 10 years living in damp and mouldy homes after two projects known as Arbed and CESP , saw their properties damaged by a programme of improvements to increase their energy efficiency . This ongoing problem has been reported numerous times over the years .

THACKLEY were left floored by visiting Golcar United last night , conceding on 89 minutes to lose 2-1 . Over 200 fans descended upon Dennyfield to watch this West Yorkshire derby in the Northern Counties East League Premier Division , and they were served up a cracking contest .

Golcar almost scored with 10 minutes to go , as Keegan Hartley beat Wilson to a through ball , but prodded it past the post . A Thackley corner bounced off a few bodies and was cleared off the line late on , before Golcar pinched all three points at the last . A deep free kick by the visitors was inadvertently flicked on by a Thackley head , and the ball was knocked back in from the wing to allow Doyle to slide in and score from close range .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'came out of writing retirement', where 'writing retirement' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object in the sentence, and it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Nintendo just published a new ' Ask the Developer ' writeup featuring Emio - The Smiling Man : Famicom Detective club producer Yoshio Sakamoto , who helped co-create the Metroid series , and assistant producer Kaori Miyachi , a veteran of the Super Smash Bros. games .

" But the desire to create something new again was always in my heart . I was gathering ideas in my mind , " Sakamoto explains , adding that one of these " ideas " was where a " victim is found dead with a paper bag over their head . " If this sounds familiar , that 's because it 's the basic premise of Emio - The Smiling Man .

Seeing the broad range of expressions and potential to take the animation quality even higher , I began to seriously think about creating something new again and was motivated to write a new story .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject (The BaristaMaker) + V1 (takes) + NP object (the trial and error) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (handling liquids with different fat and protein contents). It also gives rise to a prevention interpretation, where the BaristaMaker prevents the need for trial and error in handling different liquids. The verb 'takes' can be classified under nonspecific means (similar to 'lead'). The NP object 'the trial and error' is not a causee, but the sentence still fits the construction's atypical use where the object is not a causee but the interpretation aligns with the prevention type.

If you do n't have access to a steam wand , or ca n't use one , the Dreo BaristaMaker is the next best thing , making frothing milk for espresso drinks and shakes super simple . Just pour in your chosen milk ( dairy or non-dairy ) , pick a preset , and leave it to get on . It 's slower than a steam wand and , during testing , the resulting foam was n't quite as smooth and fine as that created by steaming . Nevertheless , the BaristaMaker is hard to beat for simplicity , plus it 's reasonably priced for the versatility it offers . + No manual skill necessary + Presets for different milk types + Consistent results + Much quieter than a steam wand + Jug is dishwasher-safe - Does n't produce microfoam as fine as a steam wand - Frothing milk takes a long time - Quite tall at 9.21in/23.4cm Why you can trust @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ review , so you can be sure you 're buying the best . Find out more about how we test . The Dreo BaristaMaker is a milk frother designed to create thick microfoam for coffee drinks , without the need to wield a steam wand . It 's a good option if your coffee maker lacks a steamer , you 'd prefer not to use it , or you have limited mobility -- although the resulting froth is n't quite as silky . Unlike some milk frothers , the BaristaMaker has two interchangeable heads : a typical whisk , and a two-part head designed to bring liquid into the center of the jug and break up large bubbles . This creates the type of fine foam necessary for latte art -- and it works pretty well , although I found that the bubbles were still larger than those made by preparing milk the old-fashioned way . The BaristaMaker takes longer to foam your milk , too , requiring three and a half minutes to complete its multi-stage frothing process . You @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , grind them , and pull your espresso shot . A countdown on the front of the machine means you can be ready to top your drink the minute it 's done its thing . The BaristaMaker has separate modes for different types of milk , including four non-dairy options , which takes the trial and error out of handling liquids with different fat and protein contents . In general , I found the default settings good for preparing plant milks for cappuccinos , but a bit too thick for latte art . The Dreo BaristaMaker is n't the cheapest milk frother around , but its added modes for preparing cold drinks mean it is n't a single-purpose machine ; this make it easier to justify the cost . During testing , it whipped up a particularly thick and creamy protein shake with minimum effort . The key advantage of the BaristaMaker is its convenience . While it offers some options for customization ( two speeds and various temperature settings , for example ) , the process is largely automated . It ca n't perfectly replicate the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it requires none of the skill and practice that traditional frothing demands . Just set your milk type and foam preference , pour in the milk , and press start . At the time of writing , the Dreo BaristaMaker is coming to the end of a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter , where backers can pledge $80 ( about ? 60 / AU$120 ) to receive a milk frother , with delivery estimated by October 2024 . This Kickstarter offer is only available in the US , Singapore , and Malaysia ; but Dreo does sell its products internationally , so the BaristaMaker will soon go on general sale for $99 / ? 119.99 ( about AU$150 ) in many more territories . That 's a mid-range price for a milk frother , sitting in between the premium Smeg MFF11 at $290 / ? 179.95 / AU$299 , and the budget-friendly Instant Milk Frother Station at $59.99 / ? 69.99 / AU$129 , both of which offer similar features but lack foaming programs specifically for plant-based milks . Value @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to scroll horizontally Name Dreo BaristaMaker Dimensions 4.93in / 12.5cm x 4.93in / 12.5cm x 9.21in / 23.4cm Weight 2.56lb / 1.16kg Capacity ( froth ) 8.5oz / 250ml Capacity ( stir ) 15.2oz / 450ml Milk options Dairy milk , half-and-half , soya , almond , coconut , oat Drink presets Flat white , latte , cappuccino , hot thick foam , cold thick foam , stir Smart design resembling an oversized milk pitcher Two tips for milk frothing Well-designed jug with fine spout for latte art The Dreo BaristaMaker is made up of three key parts : the base , which contains the heating element and motor ; the jug that sits on top ; and the tips , which do the actual frothing . The jug and the base are stainless steel , and when fully assembled , the BaristaMaker resembles a smart-looking oversized milk pitcher . It measures 4.93in/12.5cm diameter and 9.21in/23.4cm tall with the jug on top , weighing 2.56lb/1.16kg . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1.88lb/855g . That 's about the same as the premium Smeg MFF11 milk frother , although the Smeg machine has a larger capacity for stirring . The base of the BaristaMaker includes the heater and motor ( Image credit : Future ) The BaristaMaker has a small , bright LED display on the front , with four buttons for selecting your preferred milk and foam options at the sides , and a start/stop button underneath . The machine comes with two tips that fit onto a prong in the center of the jug . The disc tip resembles the end of a typical battery-operated milk frother , and is used for preparing cold drinks . The impeller tip has two components : a plastic blade that 's designed to draw milk towards the center of the jug ; and a fine screen designed to break up large bubbles , turning them into fine foam . The BaristaMaker comes with two tips : the disc tip on the left , and the impeller tip on the right . The blades on the impeller pull milk into the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The jug itself has no moving parts ; instead , the tips are spun by magnets that rotate in the base of the machine . If you 've selected one of the hot options , the milk is warmed by a heating element directly underneath the jug . The jug has a fine spout for pouring latte art , and markings inside to show the appropriate amount of milk for different types of foam . I 'd have preferred to see the actual volume marked inside as well , but that 's quite a minor quibble . It 's dishwasher-safe , but I found it easy to clean by hand due to the lack of moving parts inside . Design score : 4/5 Simple to use Frothing takes three and a half minutes Foam not as fine as created by steaming Plant-based milk creates particularly thick foam The Dreo BaristaMaker makes foaming dairy and non-dairy milk simple , if not fast . First , you use the simple controls on the front to select the type of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 're using . The BaristaMaker has settings for foaming dairy milk , half-and-half , soya , oat , almond , and coconut milk , and beverage options for flat white , cappuccino , latte , hot thick foam , cold thick foam , and stirring . You can also tweak the speed and temperature if you like , with two options available for each ; but the default settings should serve you well . Once you 've picked your milk and froth settings , tap the start/stop button and the device will show you whether to insert the impeller or frother tip , With that done , pour in your milk to the appropriate level marked inside the jug . You 'll need to pour at least 5.1oz/150ml for foaming , and the milk and jug should both be cold when you start , as they would be if you were using a steam wand . Markings inside the BaristaMaker 's jug show the correct level for different types of foam , and for stirring ( Image credit : Future ) When that 's done , just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or stirring accordingly -- a process that takes three and a half minutes . You can stop it sooner if you like , but the foam settings have several stages , and halting the process early means you wo n't get the best results . It takes a lot longer than preparing milk with a steam wand , but you have plenty of time to grind your beans and prepare your espresso while it 's working . I tested the BaristaMaker with every milk type except half-and-half , which is n't available in the UK . I found that full-fat dairy milk generally foamed best , producing the smoothest microfoam that was best suited to latte art . However , the foam texture was noticeably more open and less smooth than when steamed using a wand .

Dreo suggests that you can try adding a scoop of protein powder if your non-dairy milk is n't foaming properly , but this was n't a problem I experienced . In fact , soya and almond milk foamed a little too well on the latte setting , with almond turning out too stiff to pour art . Almond milk prepared using the BaristaMaker 's latte setting was too thick for pouring art ( this foam was scooped from the top of the drink ) ( Image credit : Future ) One of the BaristaMaker 's big advantages over a steam wand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it great for preparing shakes and other powder-based drinks . I used the cold foam setting to prepare a strawberry protein shake with soya milk , and the resulting drink was thick , creamy , and very good . The frothing process still took three and a half minutes , and a personal blender such as the Nutribullet Flip could do the same thing in 30 seconds , but the extra functionality makes the BaristaMaker easier to recommend than a device that only fills one niche . The BaristaMaker is much quieter than a steam wand , reaching a maximum of 39dB during frothing ( about the same as a calm library ) , which could be helpful if you 're an early riser or need to avoid disturbing young children .

The Dreo BaristaMaker means you can prepare milk simply , without the need to handle high-pressure steam . You want to prepare different types of milk Plant and dairy milks have different fat and protein contents , and the Dreo BaristaMaker 's presets mean you do n't have to adapt your frothing technique to suit them . Just set your preferences , pour in your milk , and press start . You 've mastered the steamer Most of the best espresso machines have a steam wand ; you 'll get better results if you can use that to prepare your milk once you 've got the knack . You lack counter space The Dreo BaristaMaker is relatively large for a milk frother @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Instant makes several smaller devices , including the Instant Milk Frother and larger-capacity Instant Milk Frother Station , which can prepare enough milk for two beverages .

Like the Smeg MFF11 , it can prepare hot or cold milk , but does n't have separate options for non-dairy beverages . I tested the Dreo BaristaMaker using full-fat and semi-skimmed dairy milk , as well as soya , almond , oat , and coconut milks . I frothed each type using the BaristaMaker 's flat white , latte , cappuccino , and hot and cold frothing settings , with the appropriate milk option selected .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It involves the phrase 'opt out of receiving marketing calls', where 'opt out of' is followed by a gerund phrase, but there is no NP object between the verb and 'out of'. Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses the phrase 'making a career out of writing', where 'writing' is a gerund functioning as a noun, not as part of a VP[-ing] predicate.

It 's a difficult market , we 're told . Authors who 've been published multiple times , who 've made bestseller lists and been Richard & Judy picks , are finding it hard to get a new deal . I know several experienced authors who are currently out of contract , and I 've read in online author groups that editors are taking up to six months to respond to submissions . How do we authors hold our nerve while waiting for news ? And how do we deal with rejection ? When I 'm asked to offer advice to those seeking to get a first novel published , the first thing I say is " Toughen up " . You 'll need an emotional hazmat suit to survive the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune on the ride from wannabe author to debut to possibly making a career out of writing . If you think once you get a book deal you 've got it made , and that sales will grow with each book , you could n't be more wrong . This happens for literally no authors at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 14th novel and am lucky enough to earn a living from writing at the moment , but I never take my next deal for granted . I 'm here to tell you that while some aspects of the uncertainty get easier , many do n't . Below you 'll find the 10 survival tips that have sustained me over the years . If you think once you get a book deal you 've got it made , and that sales will grow with each book , you could n't be more wrong . This happens for literally no authors at all , ever Choose your first readers wisely . Pick ones who enjoy the type of book you 're writing , and who will offer gentle and constructive feedback . Rather than saying " I did n't care about your heroine " , tactful ones will say " Maybe you could give us more insight into what your heroine is feeling " . Crucial difference . Before you send off a novel to agents or publishers , make sure you 've started the next one . And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one , keep writing the second . Do n't give up . You will get better with every novel so the effort is never wasted . It 's a huge high to get your first deal , and you 'll inevitably be fantasising about film rights , literary prizes and bestseller lists . Join the Society of Authors or some such group where you can chat with other authors about their experiences and modify your expectations accordingly . Unless you got a six-figure pre-empt , there wo n't be billboard adverts , it 's unlikely your publisher will submit you for Richard & Judy , and you 'll be lucky to see a physical copy of your book in a bookshop anywhere , unless your mum orders it . Some authors check their sales daily , and I have huge admiration for them , but I 'm not made that way . I never check sales . Someone will tell me if there 's good news and I do n't want to know if there 's bad . When the royalty statement comes , I 'll check the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which means the book has paid off its advance . Otherwise , I stick my fingers in my ears and chant " Lalalalalala " . I also do n't read NetGalley , Amazon and Goodreads reviews . They 're not written for me ; they 're for other readers . I might glance at the total number and the overall star rating , but only if I 'm feeling especially intrepid . Do n't compare yourself to other authors . When a friend posts that they 're a Reese Witherspoon pick , or a Sunday Times bestseller , or that they 've signed a big new deal , I alleviate my intense envy by immediately posting effusive congratulations . It makes you feel better , I swear . Also , remember that everyone presents the sunny upbeat news on social media and few tell you that their last book bombed . Celebrate the positive and survive the negative . I put an asterisk in my diary every time there 's something lovely , like a new foreign rights sale , a great review , or a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to offset the negatives , such as having a book rejected -- which happens to us all , by the way . For me , swimming in a nearby pond surrounded by nature helps . Talking to author friends is also nurturing . You 'll find your own method . The main thing is , no matter how downcast you feel , keep writing . Be flexible . Be prepared to switch genre if your sales flatline . Sometimes your agent or publisher will suggest you use a pen name in another genre , which might feel a wrench ; but if it means you keep getting published , it 's surely worth it . Beware burn-out . The absolute best thing about being a writer is that when you are in full flow , ideas float into your brain like precious gifts from the universe . But if you work so hard that you 're no longer feeding your creative brain -- with visits to art galleries , concerts , theatre , life away from the laptop -- then you will eventually hit a brick wall and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who 've had to take several months off when this happened . If you 're lucky enough to have a huge bestseller , cherish every moment . It 's like getting three pineapples in a row on a fruit machine and suddenly the coins are pumping out . Your inbox is full , your Amazon ranking gets higher by the minute ( you know because you 're continually refreshing the page ) , and your book seems to be mentioned everywhere . It 's easy to get addicted to those regular endorphin hits , but be aware that they start to tail off before long . You 'll drop down the rankings you sailed up and you may never know that moment in the sun again . But always stay grateful for every single reader who opened your book and entered your world . It 's a great honour . And if you think I sound relatively sanguine , check in with me in a couple of months after Scandalous Women has been published and when novel 14 is making its way into editors ' inboxes . By @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Scandalous Women , Gill Paul 's novel about Jackie Collins and Jacqueline Susann , is published by Avon Books Author Gill Paul 's novels have sold over a million copies , reached bestseller lists in the UK , US and Canada , and have been translated into 23 languages . Scandalous Women ( 2024 ) is set in the misogynist publishing industry of the 1960s and features ground-breaking novelists Jackie Collins and Jacqueline Susann. |

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

Being a megafan is an expensive hobby ( Picture : Amy Harris/Invision/AP ) If you 're a huge fan of an artist , seeing them live can be one of the best moments of your life . Many book flights and hotels abroad , while paying an arm and a leg for ridiculously expensive tickets . Being a megafan is an expensive hobby . So when musicians cancel at the last minute due to medical or personal reasons , it 's utterly devastating -- but understandable . It 's less understandable when the reason is a vague ' scheduling conflict ' that leaves fans stranded in another country -- hundreds of pounds out of pocket , and with a refund for nothing but the concert ticket . That 's just rude . Enter Chappell Roan -- who is the biggest breakout music star of 2024 , and deservedly so . The Pink Pony Club singer wrote on social media this week , with just days ' notice : ' Due to scheduling conflicts , I have had to make the extremely hard decision to cancel my Paris and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 23 September . I am so sorry & very disappointed . I promise I will be back . I 'm heartbroken . thank you for understanding . ' Although she has rescheduled the Berlin performance , many fans highlighted that they had already flown to the German capital for the gig and were now stuck paying for a hotel and flight for no reason whatsoever . Chappell owes it to fans to be honest and specific about why she 's cancelling so last minute ( Picture : Marleen Moise/Getty Images ) ' We 've booked flights and a hotel , flying tomorrow from the UK to Berlin . Not cool at all . Hundreds of pounds wasted , ' said Domsims on X. ' I 'm literally at the airport right NOW cause I was supposed to come to your Berlin date . I 'm so extremely disappointed , next time maybe do n't share this information this late , ' Destineddeath99 added . Some fans speculated that Chappell Roan may have cancelled the show to prepare for the MTV VMAs on September 11 , where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Arena . Ouch . If ' scheduling conflicts ' was a euphemism and there 's another reason Chappell is cancelling -- a real one -- then we 're with her wholeheartedly . Of course , musicians are people too and should be treated with the same level of respect and sympathy employers might have if a staff member calls in sick . But Chappell owes it to fans to be honest and specific about why she 's cancelling so last minute . Adele was a brilliant example of this when she took to social media in 2022 with a video of herself in floods of tears explaining how the show for her Las Vegas residency ' just ai n't ready ' and she was being forced to postpone -- even if this did come a day before it was due to start . She was transparent , and clearly respected her fans ' money and time . In turn , we respect her back . Chappell 's not the only one guilty of last minute cancellations though ( Picture : Emma McIntyre/Getty Images ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bigger fish to fry on the world stage then that 's not cool . It seems unlikely many devoted fans with tickets to this tour will get such a good opportunity to see her again , as she will no doubt be selling out stadiums soon -- with tickets likely to rocket into the hundreds . As a result , her core fanbase runs the risk of being priced out of seeing her . Chappell 's not the only one guilty of last minute cancellations though . In April , The Jonas Brothers said they were postponing all their European concerts due to ' exciting projects ' they had coming up , which were clearly , to me , far more important than their ticket-holding fans . To view this video please enable JavaScript , and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video In a tone-deaf video , they chirpily announced the postponement and added : ' European fans , we love you , we ca n't wait to see you , it 's been long overdue . And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ year , in the fall . ' Clearly , they could wait . But could their fans ? No thought seemed to have been given to those who had booked accommodation and travel for the gig , which was due to take place just a month later . No biggie , I suppose , if you 're a Jonas Brother and reportedly have a combined estimated net worth of $150million . What 's a ? 50 hotel deposit lost to them ? For a lot of people , it 's a week 's food . Especially when people are choosing much more carefully where to spend their pennies these days . The Jonas Brothers said they were postponing all their European concerts due to ' exciting projects ' they had coming up ( Picture : ANTONIO PEDRO SANTOS/EPA ) And in 2022 , M ? neskin cancelled their Reading and Leeds festival appearance on August 26 to 28 due to ' unforeseen scheduling conflicts ' , saying they were ' absolutely gutted ' to not be there -- but they happily played at the MTV @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . In October last year , Raye cancelled on the day of her Newport , Kentucky gig in order to perform on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon . In all fairness to the PRADA hitmaker , she was honest about the reason when she explained it was a ' huge opportunity ' for her that was ' impossible to pass on ' but she was ' truly truly truly sending you all of my apologies ' . It 's an understandable decision for Raye in particular , as she 's famously an independent artist who has climbed the ranks without a label by her side . And she did give disappointed fans free tickets to her next show too -- a two-hour drive away from Newport . When will artists understand that simply refunding a ticket wo n't cut it when cancelling a gig ? Let 's face it , it could definitely be avoided if they simply prioritised their first commitment . They 're letting thousands of dedicated fans down for no good reason . That 's a surefire way to lose them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ |

ICA The most important thing to know about the filmmaker and writer Marguerite Duras is that she was a total drunk . ' I became an alcoholic as soon as I started to drink , ' she wrote , proudly . ' And left everyone else behind . ' It 's not something any of the academics who 'd been drafted in to introduce each film in the ICA 's exhaustive Duras season thought to mention , even in passing . Instead they spent their time trying to convince us that her films were political : they were about Palestine , feminism , decolonisation . They are n't . They 're about being bladdered . They 're about the fact that Duras would wake up by vomiting her first two glasses of booze , before embarking on as many as eight litres of Bordeaux a day . To ruin we all go : cinema and actors , ears , eyes and brain . In the process , a cinema unlike @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ borderline sociopathic , but no doubt often astonishing movies begins to make sense once you 're aware of this fact : the non sequiturs , obstinacy , repetition , obliqueness , gloom . The torpor ! The films are like an encyclopedia of ways to be lifeless . Characters lounge , loaf , loll , slump . When they can be bothered to stand up , they drag themselves about as if made of lead . The total calories expended by an entire cast of a Duras film could easily be recouped by a small croissant . Of course , no one eats . In fact , the list of things no one does in the dozen Duras films I saw is impressive . No one drives ; no one runs ; no one kisses ; no one has sex ; no one drinks ( ha ! ) ; no one laughs ; barely anyone smiles . There are no jokes ( though there is a scene in Nathalie Granger in which G ? rard Depardieu attempts to sell a washing machine to two completely uninterested , near-mute witchy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , no deaths . In Son nom de Venise dans Calcutta d ? sert ( 1976 ) -- one of her most extraordinary -- there are no people until the final few minutes . From halfway into L'Homme Atlantique ( 1981 ) , there are no images . That 's another thing these films are about : negative form -- how to fashion something out of nothing . How to make cinema out of residue . ( Far less sexy than politics ; much harder to talk about . ) Duras 's artistic allies , remember , are not her contemporaries in the French new wave but the prehistoric cave painters and their ' mains negatives ' stencils , to whom she dedicated a short film . So what exactly does happen ? People talk : mostly in voiceover . They discuss films unmade , fracturing relationships , diplomats gone to seed . A strict independence is maintained between music , script , and visuals , which allows for wild experiments . In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ occur if the whole audio of one film , India Song ( 1975 ) , were grafted onto an entirely new set of visuals to form a sequel . The confusion pushes you to madness , exhaustion , a state of manic bliss . In other words you feel badgered . Eight-litres-of-Bordeaux badgered . No one could argue the films are enjoyable -- just as spending time with someone who 's steaming is not exactly enjoyable . They are , in fact , often deeply boring . But they are a very specific , alluring kind of boring . They 're not boring like Straub-Huillet films are boring . They 're not dry , inept , stingy . They 're boring simply because nothing happens ; because the stories are vague ; because the camera drifts incredibly slowly over some of the most soporific , if exquisite , images in all cinema , while the same musical riff ( a Diabelli variation , Andean pipe music , a tango ) repeats and repeats and repeats . At dusk , a handsome articulated blue lorry , hugging the very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in northern France ( Le Camion , 1977 ) . We fix on cracks and mansion-house decrepitude in Son nom . We gaze out at the sea from within darkened rooms in Agatha ( 1981 ) . We watch the blazing sand flats of Normandy in Baxter , Vera Baxter ( 1977 ) . Underpinning every shot is this touchingly sincere belief -- a belief that only ever occurs to the drunk -- of the vital importance of staring at things . Of listening to the same piece again and again and again . Of wallowing and getting lost . Of being resolutely unproductive . Of living in the unmade . Yet stuff is made : there is something monumental , sculptural about the way Duras carves time . It 's like huge chunks of marble are being presented to us , or a series of Barnett Newmans : big blocks of world-building pierced by alien flashes . Still from Marguerite Duras 's Le Camion ( 1977 ) So what do we have here ? One of the great avant-garde trolls of postwar cinema , no doubt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ embrace of being completely plastered for most of her adult life . Not that she did n't know what she was doing ; that she was drunk on the job . But rather that her cinema consciously absorbed the formal patterns and visions that are unique to being paralytic . ' Let cinema go to its ruin , ' she wrote . And to ruin we all go : cinema and actors , ears , eyes and brain . In the process , a cinema unlike any other forms . Drunkenness also explains why the planet we inhabit in her films is one where the hours of 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. do not exist . We 're on BST -- Blotto Standard Time . Daytime is for nursing hangovers . A unique palette results : the deep blues of dusk , pale greys of predawn , golds of sunrise and sunset . Mysterious , ravishing , punch-drunk colours .

Kafka is a 5-Star Lightning character of The Nihility path who was added to Honkai : Star Rail during version 1.2 . While Kafka is featured as the boosted 5-Star character on the Indelible Coterie Banner in version 2.5 , she will eventually return to Honkai : Star Rail at some point in the future when the Banner schedule cycles back to her . Whether you have her , or want to prepare for if you do Warp for her successfully , it 's good to know the best Kafka build , including her best Relics and best team . It 's also handy to learn what her Eidolons are , and what Ascension materials and Trace materials are needed to level up Kafka to her full potential . Kafka is a 5-Star Lightning character of The Nihility path , and is best at providing Shock DOT ( damage over time ) and lowering enemies ' Lightning toughness bars , and works particularly well with other characters who produce DOT effects . Skill : Caressing Moonlight ( deals Lightning damage equal to 80% of Kafka 's attack stat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Kafka 's attack stat to adjacent enemies . If the target enemy is already affected by DOTs , these DOT effects immediately damage them for 60% of the DOT 's original damage ) . Ultimate : Twilight Trill ( deals Lightning damage equal to 48% of Kafka 's attack stat to all enemies , with a 100% chance to Shock enemies , and enemies immediately take damage equal to 80% of the DOT . Shock lasts for two turns , and while enemies are Shocked , they receive Lightning damage equal to 116% of Kafka 's attack stat at the beginning of each turn ) . Talent ( passive ability ) : Gentle but Cruel ( after an ally Basic attacks an enemy , Kafka immediately launches one follow-up attack and deals Lightning damage equal to 42% of her attack stat to that enemy , with a 100% chance to inflict Shock equivalent to that applied by her Ultimate to the attacked enemy for two turns . This effect can only be triggered one time per turn ) . Technique ( overworld ability ) : Mercy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ range and deals Lightning damage equal to 50% of Kafka 's attack stat to all enemies . Each enemy also has a 100% chance to become Shocked for two turns , equivalent to that applied by her Ultimate ) . Bonus Trace 1 : Torture ( when Kafka uses her Ultimate , enemy targets will now immediately receive damage from all currently applied DOT sources instead of immediately receiving damage from only the currently applied Shock state ) . Just like Ascension , to get the most out of using Kafka you will have to level-up her attacks and passive abilities by using Trace materials , which vary from character-to-character . For Kafka , you need to use a lot of Obsidian and Thief 's Instinct based materials to fully upgrade her capabilities . In total , to upgrade all of her abilities , the Kafka Trace Materials you need are : x8 Tracks of Destiny x12 Regret of Infinite Ochema x18 Obsidian of Dread x41 Thief 's Instinct x56 Conqueror 's Will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ x139 Obsidian of Obsession 3 million Credits By getting duplicates of Kafka from Warping on Banners , you will receive her Eidolon . This material allows you to unlock Eidolon levels , with each upgrade either improving an existing attack or passive ability . Image credit : HoYoverse Here are all of Kafka 's Eidolons in Honkai : Star Rail : Da Capo ( E1 ) : When Kafka 's Talent triggers a follow-up attack , there is a 100% chance to increase the DOT received by the target by 30% for two turns . Fortississimo ( E2 ) : While Kafka is on the field , DOT dealt by all allies increases by 25% . Capriccio ( E3 ) : Increases the level of Kafka 's Skill by two , with a maximum upgrade Level of 15 , and increases her Basic attack by one with a maximum upgrade Level of 10 . Recitativo ( E4 ) : When an enemy target takes damage from Shock inflicted by Kafka , she additionally regenerates two Energy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Kafka 's Ultimate and Talent by two with a maximum upgrade level of 15 for both . Leggiero ( E6 ) : Kafka 's Ultimate , Technique , and the follow-up attack triggered by her Talent increases the damage multiplier of Shock damage dealt to enemies by 156% and extends the duration of Shock by one turn . Kafka is a Nihility character who uses DOT ( damage over time ) attacks to damage both single and multi-targets . Her kit focuses on applying and boosting this damage as much as possible , while also enhancing other DOT effects applied by your team . Due to this design , you 'll want to have as many DOT effects applied to enemies as often as possible . DOT effects in Honkai Star Rail are : Shock , Wind Shear , Bleed , and Burn . You can achieve Shock with Kafka , but you should have at least one other character on your team who can also apply DOT . As Kafka applies Shock with her Ultimate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ultimate every two turns , as this is how long her Ultimate Shock effect lasts . This can be a little hard to achieve , but activating her ' Plunder ' bonus Trace can help with Energy Regeneration , as can Relics and teammates like Tingyun and Huohuo . Image credit : HoYoverse You 'll likely have a healer , shielder , or Harmony buffer/Nihility debuffer on a Kafka team , so use them to build your Skill Points by Basic attacking an enemy , as Kafka 's Talent applies Shock once per turn when an ally Basic attacks . You 'll want this Shock on enemies as often as possible for both DOT damage , and to regenerate Kafka 's Energy quicker when an enemy dies while Shocked . In short , make sure the enemies are Shocked as often as possible and add other DOT effects with other characters to boost Kafka 's damage . Prioritise using Kafka 's Skill and other allies ' DOT moves , and remember to try and activate Kafka 's Ultimate every two turns for Shock application and lots of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ team comp in Honkai Star Rail To maximise Kafka 's DPS , you should pair her with at least one other DOT attacker . Two DOT attackers can cause even more damage , but you 'll probably lose useful healing , shielding , or attack buffs by doing this . So unless another DOT character also provides one of these effects , we recommend Kafka with just one fellow DOT attacker for now . We think Sampo is the best character to pair with Kafka due to how often he can apply Wind Shear to multiple enemies . Serval is another good option for her AoE Lightning and Shock damage , and Guinaifen has also proven that she can rival Sampo 's success if the enemy is weak to Fire . However , as a 5-Star Wind attacker , it 's looking like the upcoming Black Swan will be the ideal character to pair with Kafka when she releases . However , remember that winning battles is often dependent on what weakness an enemy has , so you might want to bring Luka instead for his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weaknesses instead - but he 's more single-target focused . With that said , Sampo , Guinaifen , or Serval will still generally be the best characters to pair with Kafka in most situations ( until Black Swan releases ) . To help implant a Lightning weakness you can put Silver Wolf in your team . This involves a bit of luck , but if most of your team are Lightning attackers it 's easier to implant a Lightning weakness . The best Harmony characters to have on your team are Bronya , Ruan Mei , or Tingyun for their attack buffs , with Bronya also letting you switch to other characters , and Tinyun helping with Energy regeneration . Bring Tingyun over Bronya if Silver Wolf is on the team to help implant a Lightning weakness . Ruan Mei is fantastic for helping Kafka teams break enemy weakness bars to keep them out of the action while your DOT effects cause increased damage while they 're Weakness Broken . However , if you want more speed , or need to inflict Burn as well , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Honkai Star Rail We recommend the 4-piece Prisoner in Deep Confinement as the best Relics for Kafka . The 2-piece increases her attack by 12% , with the full 4-piece ignoring 6% of an enemies defence when dealing damage to it for every DOT the enemy is afflicted with . This effect is valid for a max of three DOTs . Prisoner in Deep Confinement . Image credit : HoYoverse If you do n't have good stats for the 4-piece Prisoner in Deep Confinement , then pairing its 2-piece with either the 2-piece Band of Sizzling Thunder or 2-piece Musketeer of Wild Wheat set is a good substitute while you farm . There are a few options for your Planar Ornaments , depending on the focus of your Kafka build , but generally we recommend Space Stealing Station to increase Kafka 's attack by 12% , and an additional 12% when her speed reaches 120 . The Firmament Frontline : Glamoth set can be better if you can reach 160 Speed , but this is much harder to do , and wo n't be worth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have good substats . However , if you need more Energy Regeneration for your build then the Sprightly Vonwacq set can substitute , but if you 're running another Shock DOT applicator , then Penacony , Land of the Dreams can work for your Energy Recharge needs even better , as it also increases damage dealt if it 's the same as the wearer . Patience Is All You Need . Image credit : HoYoverse As it 's her signature , the 5-Star Patience Is All You Need Light Cone is Kafka 's best weapon in Honaki : Star Rail , however she actually has a very good 4-Star option too . Sticking to her signature for now , at Level 80 and Superimposition 1 , Patience Is All You Need increases damage dealt by Kafka by 24% . After every attack , Kafka 's Speed also increases by 4.8% , stacking up to three times . If Kafka hits an enemy not afflicted by Erode , there is a 100% base chance to inflict Erode on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , so will receive Lightning DOT at the start of each turn equal to 60% of the Kafka 's attack stat , lasting for one turn . For another 5-Star option , as DOT effects count as debuffs , we recommend Welt 's signature , In the Name of the World as another Kafka weapon . It increases damage when debuffs are applied , and increases attack when Kafka 's skill is used . Solitary Healing is a decent 5-Star option , and can be bought from the Simulated Universe Shop . It gives Kafka more Break Effect , but more importantly , it increases DOT dealt by the wearer for two turns , and when the target suffering from Kafka 's Shock is defeated , she regenerates Energy . As for 4-Star F2P options , Good Night and Sleep Well is a fantastic Light Cone pick for Kafka for the increase to damage when attacking enemies with debuffs . If you do n't have this , you can also use Fermata for the increase to Break Effect damage and Wind Shear and Shock DOT damage . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to DOT damage . Keeping in mind that the best team comps in Star Rail are very situational , if you want to take advantage of her huge DOT damage potential while keeping her alive , we have compiled what we think is currently the best Kafka build in Honkai Star Rail : Kafka Best Light Cone : 5-Star Patience Is All You Need . Kafka Best Relics : 4-Piece Prisoner in Deep Confinement . Kafka Best Planar Ornaments : Space Stealing Station . Kafka Best team comp : Sampo , Tingyun , Luocha . Remember that Black Swan will probably replace Sampo when she releases , and that Ruan Mei , Asta , or Bronya can fill in for Tingyun if you think they will work better for a particular situation , as can other healers or shielders in Luocha 's slot . It 's entirely up to you whether you want to spend your Stellar Jade to Warp on Kafka 's Banner , but she 's a fantastic pick if you like Nihility @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you can apply from other DOT effects . Jessica Orr : Jessica is a guides writer from Northern Ireland who likes screaming at her TV . Often at horror movies , occasionally at a Fortnite win .

Reasoning

The sentence 'We don't get anything out of delaying its release either.' does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction. The verb 'get' is transitive and selects an NP object 'anything', but the sentence does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Additionally, the NP object 'anything' does not function as a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'delaying its release'. Therefore, it does not meet the criteria for the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'take the ewww sic factor out of talking about vaginas' involves 'take out of' followed by a gerund, but it lacks an NP object that functions as a causee, and it does not clearly induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to be a metaphorical expression about removing discomfort from a topic, which does not align with the defined properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Kai Havertz has already suggested he 'll be a big fan of Arsenal signing Raheem Sterling having heaped praise on him during their time together at Chelsea . Sterling completed a loan move to Arsenal from their London rivals late on transfer deadline day on Friday . The season-long deal sees the 29-year-old reunite with his fellow forward Havertz , who he played alongside at Stamford Bridge in the 2022/23 season after his previous move from Manchester City . The Gunners ' new arrival watched from the stands as they held Brighton to a 1-1 draw on Saturday after Declan Rice 's controversial red card , which meant they had to play the majority of the second half a man down . After a dismal Chelsea spell , Sterling will hope to make an impact at Arsenal as they mount another Premier League title challenge . Havertz , who scored against Brighton and has settled in at Arsenal since his own transfer from Chelsea , spoke glowingly about Sterling during his time with the Blues . And the German 's comments , where he talked about their on-pitch relationship , will be music to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I know what kind of vision Raheem has , he loves to place these balls , " after the former England star set him up to score in a Premier League match back in 2022 . The German international also hailed Sterling 's influence after a tense game with Leicester City , where the winger 's first goals for Chelsea proved to be decisive in securing the win . Do you think Sterling is a good signing for Arsenal ? Let us know in the comments section . Havertz explained : " We needed goals , he scored two goals in the end and that 's the most important thing . In the end , I think he did well and he helped us a lot today . " It is very exciting having a player like that around . We have played four games and he has shown his quality today again . " Sometimes it takes a bit of time to adapt 100 per-cent , but he has adapted very fast and we can build on that in the future . We are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ training session how much work and effort he puts in , and he just deserves it . " It is nice to play with him . He has a lot of experience and knows how to move , and it helps you a lot if you have such experienced players next to you . His style of play suits us very well . " The pair have had an unlikely reunion in north London ( Image : Marc Atkins/Getty Images ) Havertz 's words clearly show how highly he rates Sterling and his belief that the winger will improve Arsenal 's squad as they look to win their first title in over 20 years . Mikel Arteta had been rumoured to be in the market for a forward throughout the summer , but a deal for an out-and-out striker never came to fruition . Instead , Sterling - a versatile forward capable of playing across all three front positions - was brought in . Whether Havertz will get to enjoy the same on-pitch chemistry he had with Sterling at Chelsea remains uncertain , with the latter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jesus and Leandro Trossard for a regular spot in the team . Arteta will be hopeful of getting the best out of Sterling , having worked closely with him at City under Pep Guardiola . Arsenal 's match against Brighton came too soon for their deadline day signing - but he could have an opportunity to feature for the first time at his new club in two weeks ' time when the Gunners travel to fierce rivals Tottenham .

We 've come up with a list of the essentials to bring with you to university , along with the best , budget-friendly models to buy . Before you buy anything , check with your university which items they allow . They 'll send you guidance or direct you to information online . Make sure that anything you take is in good working order and , if you 're in the UK , that it has a CE mark . If you can afford something a bit better than a jar of instant , invest in a budget-friendly capsule coffee maker and reap the benefits of better quality wake-up juice .

It does n't dispense the correct amount of water for each drink automatically , as the Tassimo Finesse does ( see below ) , But it does mean that you have a bit more control over how you prefer your drinks . You can find out more about it in our review but the short version is that you can use it to make a variety of coffee drinks ( cappuccinos , lattes , espressos and more ) and you wo n't need to add milk separately , as the blended drinks come with milk pods , making it ideal to keep in your room .

However , if your university wo n't allow you to bring your own fridge and you need one , they should provide one for your use if you contact them in advance . A desk fan is really useful to have , not only for keeping you cool and airing out your room but for helping you stay awake and feel refreshed when you 're studying for long periods . It has a footprint of only 14cm , so it wo n't take up half of your desk space . It 's efficient and unobtrusive and also has a night light .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'you' is the NP subject, 'have been priced' is the V1, 'out of seeing your favourite artists' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also gives rise to a prevention interpretation, meaning that the high prices have prevented you from seeing your favourite artists. The verb 'priced' can be considered as exerting a metaphorical force, fitting into the classification of verbs that appear in the V1 slot. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('you' as the implied subject, 'priced' as V1, 'you' as the object, and 'seeing your favourite artists' as VP2[-ing]). It also induces a prevention interpretation, meaning the high prices are preventing you from seeing your favourite artists. The verb 'priced' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically'. The NP object 'you' functions as a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The verb 'carved' does not fit the semantic classes of verbs that typically appear in the V1 slot of the construction. Additionally, the NP object 'a career' does not function as a causee, and the sentence does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a result or outcome of an action, which is not characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Apart from the show , she now earns her bread and butter via her Cheap Irish Houses feed , which charges subscribers a small sum for weekly newsletters summarising the latest bargains on the Irish property market . She is a hit with television viewers thanks to her warm , down-to-earth , no-nonsense character , but there have been some downsides to fame too . She recounts one occasion where she was forced to abandon a shopping trip after being stopped by multiple people within the space of half an hour , all wanting to chat . " People will just want me to go to their house for a cup of tea . That happened to me once ; this man stopped me and said , ' Oh , my wife loves you ! See that lane , she 's down in the house . Go on down there to her now , ' and I 'm going , ' I 'm going to be murdered . I 'm definitely going to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And I 'm too polite , so I 'll just end up talking to people for an hour , because it 's hard to say no when people are very kind and friendly . I 'm not great at saying , ' Oooh , I have to go ! ' I 'm a terrible liar . " She shakes her head , joking about going " full Kardashian " and hiring security . " Imagine ! " she says . " No , we 're not quite there yet . " Molloy grew up with a DIY attitude instilled in her partly through her father , who is a carpenter by trade and helped her with her own fixer-upper Tipperary farmhouse , which she bought for ? 80,000 when she was 23 and where she lives with her husband , Jamie , a plumber turned graphic designer ( she also now has an apartment near her parents ' home in Wexford ) . " It was a massive thing , because we would 've worked with him when we were younger , " she says . " You @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ farmhouse at 23 and I 'll make the stairs for myself ' ; it was more his attitude . He does n't look at anything as a problem . It 's always , ' Well , surely it ca n't be too difficult to do that . ' And we grew up in an old house , one of those little two-up , two-down Land League cottages in Wexford , so it was this tiny little house with all of us crammed in . And it was 200 years old , so there was always something needing to be fixed . Dad would fix our plumbing if anything went wrong , or he 'd plaster something if it was needed . So it was that attitude that I grew up with -- that sense of ' Sure it 's not rocket science -- it ca n't be that difficult ! ' I think that instils in you a very real attitude about the kind of houses that you can live in -- because it was a basic house , but it was perfect . " Surely there 's a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shakes her head as she guffaws . " The two of us together is a dangerous combination , but I do n't think Ireland 's ready for Jimmy Molloy on the television . Ah , he 's class , but in the grand scheme of things , he 's a bit shy . He sees me doing this , and he 's more , ' Are you gon na go into politics ? Are you gon na make a difference ? There 's still problems here , you can fix them . Sure you 've a platform now , it ca n't be that hard ... ' That can-do attitude just keeps going and going . If he sees me in ? ras an Uachtar ? in now , he 'll be quite happy . " Molloy makes a valid point . Becoming a TV star thanks to a property show in Ireland has placed her in the mix as an inadvertent spokesperson on the housing crisis . She admits that she has to be careful about what she says these days , " because if I say one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ morning from people wanting me to go up against three political pundits to argue my point " , she says with a grin . " And I 'm not a great facts-and-figures person . I 'm more , ' It 's not right , I do n't agree with how it 's going , but I 'm not saying I have a solution . ' And I think they want solutions . Everyone wants someone to come in and fix it , and I do n't think it 's that simple ; I think there 's a lot of small things that have gone very , very wrong and have been going wrong for a long time . " She shrugs . " I do n't have the answer . " For now , she will keep trying to make a difference on more of a micro scale . The forthcoming season of Cheap Irish Homes , she says , is much more of a " Maggie " season , as house hunters have become braver and more willing to take on a challenge as each season @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this year -- it 's been a lot of people who 've gone , ' I want to take on a house and I do n't really want to do much to it at all ; I want to embrace how people lived and enjoy these houses how they were meant to be lived in ' , and I love that kind of stuff , " she says . " I know it sounds crazy to say , because you think everyone wants a cheaper house ; but when a cheaper house means a large renovation project a lot of people will shy away from it . Whereas this year , you have people who go , ' No , I want something in the back end of the northwest , and I want nothing done to it -- I just want to do everything myself . ' I love that , because that 's how I approached my house when I was doing it in the beginning . " The spin-off Cheap European Homes , meanwhile , sounds as if it would be a lot more fun to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " But it 's a hard slog , and it 's in the heat as well , " she says .

" He does n't have a passport so we 'll have to get him one -- because he 's the one who 'll look at the roof and tell me if it 's OK . So I 'm working on the passport for Daddy . Watch this space . " Viewing properties on the Continent has only served to strengthen Molloy 's passion for preserving older homes in Ireland . " We 're literally losing a massive amount of our culture when all these old houses get knocked down , " she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Italy or Greece , you see this vernacular architecture that they 've had for thousands of years continued on in how they build their houses now . They still live in their old houses and they do n't look at them as being obsolete . That 's where it started for me , " she reiterates , gesturing around her own beautiful home . " I did n't like people just looking at them as if they were just crap in a field , because they 're not . " The new season of Cheap Irish Homes returns to RTE1 on Thursday at 7pm |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'priced out of exploring' where 'priced' is not a verb that fits the V1 slot categories, and 'exploring' is part of a prepositional phrase rather than a VP2[-ing] predicate with a causee object. Additionally, there is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with movement/extraction or prevention.

Haven 's largest campsite , spanning a whopping 500 acres , is in one of the UK 's most serene and picturesque regions . My family and I spent four nights there and it was a huge hit , particularly with our children . Located just outside Pwllhelli on the breathtaking Llyn peninsula in north-west Wales , the Hafan y Mor site was formerly a Butlin 's . There are still some remnants of the redcoat era visible : the platform from the land train remains , as do some of the old apartment blocks , though the cable car has long since disappeared , as first reported on WalesOnline . But now it 's an expansive yet modern site , packed with hundreds of caravans and a vast array of food options and activities . We arrived for our holiday just as check-in commenced and the line of cars arriving to begin their breaks extended out onto the main road .

Despite its peaceful location , it was only a five-minute stroll to the Dragon Lakes adventure village and roughly 10-12 minutes from the main facilities including restaurants , showbars and pool . The caravan itself , being the top grade on the site , was brand new and genuinely luxurious . The living area was much larger than those I 've experienced at similar sites , boasting two actual sofas ( not the modular ones that are notoriously uncomfortable ) , TVs , two bedrooms , ample storage and additional perks such as USB plug sockets and a hairdryer .

I loved the caravan ( Image : ( Image : Ruth Mosalski ) ) The Hafan y Mor campsite ( Image : ( Image : Ruth Mosalski ) ) During your stay , the app can be used to book activities , order food to your table in the bars , or even have meals delivered to your caravan .

This can be combined with a two-for- ? 18 meal deal , allowing four people to dine for just ? 20 .

The sentence 'I should n't be priced out of seeing one of my favourite artists.' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject (I) + V1 (priced) + NP object (me, implied) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (seeing one of my favourite artists). It also induces a prevention interpretation, meaning 'I should not be prevented from seeing one of my favourite artists due to pricing.' The verb 'priced' can be considered as exerting a metaphorical force, aligning with the means categories described. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The more in demand the tickets become , the more expensive they are ( Picture : PA/PA Wire ) My Saturday probably looked a lot like yours . Like millions of people , I spent hours this weekend attempting , unsuccessfully , to get tickets to the Oasis tour taking place next year . It may not be the ideal Saturday , but I was happy to wait with the hopes of finally seeing one of the biggest bands for their long awaited reunion . But these hopes were dashed when Ticketmaster crashed every time I got through to the page to buy them , then obliterated when I saw that the price had increased from the already expensive ? 135 to an eye-watering ? 355 . The price increase of over double the original amount is not a typo , or the actions of a tout who has bought a ticket and is trying to resell for a profit , but is thanks to dynamic pricing , which means the more in demand the tickets become , the more expensive they are . Ticketmaster brought in dynamic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prices rise ( or fall ) with demand and are a way to stop touts who hike prices . But many believe that rather than Ticketmaster stopping touts or scalpers , they are simply doing it so they can rake in the cash . ( Picture : Oli SCARFF / AFP ) I agree , and it 's time for the company , and crucially , bands and artists themselves , to stop fleecing fans like me before they lose our support for good ? Especially as , according to MailOnline , Ticketmaster suggested that the brothers will be the ones to profit from this system . Since the Oasis reunion tour is one of the most in-demand tours right now with millions of people attempting to get tickets over the weekend , I was n't surprised to see prices hiked , but I was disappointed . Dynamic pricing is not a new concept , nor unique for concert tickets . It 's the system used by airlines , train companies , and apps like Uber to ensure that prices reflect supply and demand . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so it 's no surprise to see this system become more common in the UK . After spending hours in a queue only to find that what the price I was going to pay would now cost me significantly more was not only absolutely infuriating but also completely unethical . What makes matters worse is the knowledge that this is not just down to Ticketmaster , but bands and promoters who agree to the system in advance . But there is a better way . Look at Glastonbury Festival , for example . The festival has been going since 1970 and although they have upped their prices significantly since then , the organisers have always been honest about how much we 'll pay ahead of tickets going on sale . The festival also prevents ticket touts buying and selling them on for more than they 're worth by making you upload a photo of yourself on the ticket and then showing ID when entering the festival to make sure you are who you say you are . There 's no reason why Oasis ca @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that argue that the Gallagher brothers are worth ? 335 for a two-hour gig , but given they might split up before they take to the stage , I 'm not convinced . Many people could n't even get to the page to buy tickets ( Picture : X ) Either way , I should n't be priced out of seeing one of my favourite artists . For a northern , working class band , it 's astonishing to see them pushing out those who will be affected by this the most -- people from similar backgrounds as them . Ticketmaster often takes the majority of the blame over dynamic pricing , but the spotlight is being turned on artists , forcing them to defend it . When asked about the dynamic pricing of his ticket sales in 2022 in an interview with Rolling Stone , Bruce Springsteen said that for the past 49 years , he 's ' pretty much been out there under market value ' and while he 's aware it may have been unpopular , ' the bottom line is that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I 'm not sure how $5000 for a floor seat at a gig can be seen as affordable and Spingsteen 's comments at best seem completely out of touch with reality and at worst come across as disgustingly arrogant . What do you make of dynamic pricing ? Have your say in the comments belowComment Now Oasis have n't yet commented on the dynamic pricing this weekend , but if they do they need to come up with a better answer than that . I think it 's important for bands such as Oasis and Bruce Springsteen to remember how they became chart-topping , highly regarded multimillionaires . If it was n't for the loyal fans who have followed them from the beginning or new fans who have come to love them in recent times , the spectacle of an Oasis reunion tour following their highly acrimonious split in 2009 would n't have been the most in-demand event in recent history . And while I understand that it 's this very essence of supply and demand that makes companies like Ticketmaster , and bands themselves @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all of those involved is sickening . By putting money before loyalty , it 's apparent that these bands do not have their fans ' best interests at heart . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'priced out of seeing the band' does not involve a causer causing a causee to move out of or prevent from an action, nor does it fit the semantic interpretations (movement/extraction or prevention) characteristic of the construction. Instead, it describes a state where fans are unable to see the band due to high prices, which is a different syntactic and semantic structure.

A tour businesses who has been taking visitors to a once-hidden gem location in Scotland says traffic is now " total chaos " - with four hour car park queues . The Fairy Pools , which are a series of natural pools and waterfalls in Glen Brittle on the Isle of Skye , were once a relatively off the beaten track destination . However , the vivid blue water are popular with tourists from around the world - and Gordon Pearson , who runs WOW Scotland , a tour company , says traffic on the island has increased over the last 10 years . Mr Pearson says driving to the island 's Fairy Pools over the last few weeks has been " a horrific experience " and is concerned the lack of appropriate infrastructure to support the influx of visitors to the site is putting his customers at risk . He said up to 400 vehicles can get stuck in a traffic jam on this road at one time with up to a four hour wait .

Mr Pearson said : " The people who work in the Fairy Pools car park have said visitors say it 's like a warzone driving there . Some people can get stuck for about four hours just on that road . It 's absolutely horrendous , and I do n't think there 's enough attention how bad the road really is .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('These costs will inevitably price some fans out of going along for these eagerly-awaited Champions League fixtures'). It has a prevention interpretation, where the costs prevent some fans from going to the fixtures. The verb 'price' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure metaphorically. The NP object 'some fans' functions as a causee, and the sentence allows for a clear movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Prices are split over six zones across Villa Park . The most expensive comes in the 1888 suites in the Trinity Road Stand , with prices for tickets in this zone ? 97 across all age groups , and ? 82 for season ticket holders . Zone One at Villa Park sees all ages have their tickets priced at ? 94 per person , ? 79 for season ticket holders . It 's Zone Two where the pricing changes , although it remains ? 94 for an adult ticket . The prices decrease to ? 83.50 for an Over-66 ticket and Under-21 ticket , ? 85 for an Armed Forces member and ? 30 for an Under-18 . The prices for Under-18s across the remaining zones at Villa Park remain ? 30 per ticket . Moving to Zone Four where the prices are ? 85 for an adult , ? 75 for an Over-66 ticket and Under-21 ticket , ? 78 for an Armed Forces member and ? 30 for an Under-18 . These prices are also the same for tickets in the wheelchair bays . For me , this is far @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ paying football supporter is being punished these days with some of the staggering ticket prices across English football - and this is another example of a team pushing the limit to try and make as much money as possible . I get it , football is turning into very much business-orientated and Villa could do with boosting their matchday revenue to help their PSR position . However , there does get to a point where you think it 's getting a little bit extreme and this is one of those cases . The cheapest ticket price for a Champions League match at Villa Park is ? 70 - and that is for a season ticket holder who already has to fork out a minimum of ? 640 per-season to watch Premier League games . It 's a scandalous amount to charge a fan despite the magnitude of each game . If I was part of those making the ticket price decision at Villa , I would have taken off ? 15 for each current adult price , meaning the cheapest is ? 55 and the most expensive is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a bad sum and would rank alongside that of how much Newcastle charged for their Champions League matches last season . This way Villa are still going to bank a handsome amount of cash , but still making it a little more realistic for fans to attend , rather than charging them obscene numbers to go and watch home matches . ' Dynamic pricing ' . That 's been this week 's buzzword following the extortionate real-time ' supply and demand ' price increases of tickets for the Oasis comeback tour . Well , Aston Villa have gone one better , with dynamite pricing - costs so steep that they will blow your head off . We 're talking somewhere between ? 70 and ? 97 club to watch our beloved club in Europe 's top competition for the first time in 41 years . Multiply that by four for the group games and it starts to leave a big dent to the wallet , especially for match-going families . I get that Villa are walking a financial tightrope with PSR restrictions , but so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and feeding their kids . It really does feel like we 're being fleeced . Club bosses obviously want to make hay while the sun shines and maximise every single revenue stream , but for fans who had to contend with overflowing urinals at the last match it is in danger of taking the pee . Where were you when we were .... not very good ? Well , lots of us were here , patiently waiting for big nights like Aston Villa vs Bayern Munich , but it appears that loyalty is a currency that means very little to Villa 's hungry cash registers . These costs will inevitably price some fans out of going along for these eagerly-awaited Champions League fixtures . Some of us will grin and bear it , grudgingly part with the cash and make sacrifices elsewhere . They know it . It 's supply and demand - at least for now , while the going is good . What we really should do is vote with our debit cards and send a message by refusing to pay the prices . But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many of my fellow fans wo n't . We 'll be just like those hordes of Oasis fans paying well over the odds for this exciting years-in-the-making comeback tour . And just like those Noel and Liam lovers , we 're ' mad for it ' . Chris Heck has been at pains this summer to point out the need to generate more revenue so that Aston Villa can crack the PSR code and regularly play at the top table of European football . The President of Business Operations has been charged with increasing the club 's revenue to ? 400million by 2027 . More revenue means more spending , means better players , means more success , means more revenue . He 's made inroads into that by hammering out a lucrative sponsorship deal with Betano and by bringing adidas on board as the club 's kit supplier . Inevitably the day would come when the Villa hierarchy would turn to their fans and ask them to make their contribution . That day has come . In fact it came over the summer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Even though Heck has previously spoken of ' protecting the season-ticket base ' , even the most ardent apologist would have to admit today 's ticket price announcement for Champions League fixtures does not do that . Some will point at Man City 's pricing . Their most costly ticket , in the plush 93:20 seats , is ? 72.50 to season ticket holders . Villa 's equivalent is ten quid more . Non-season ticket holders can expect to pay nearly a tonne . It 's an absurd amount to spend on a football match . But I 'd make two observations . Heck and Villa are not starting from the same place as Man City , who have been able to build up their revenue streams over the course of years and previously without such stringent regulations . Secondly , Villa Park will no doubt be heaving for the visits of Bayern Munich and Juventus , even the most expensive tickets will fly off the shelves . Villa fans are faced with two options , stump up and watch your team play at he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ That 's not a new situation , generations of fans at all clubs have already refused to cross various pricing red lines and yet stadia continue to fill , prices continue to increase and supporters queue to be pumped for money . Success is enjoyable but it 's expensive and it always will be - but let 's not pretend the most loyal fans are being protected , they might be paying less than the infrequent match-goers but they 've not been protected from the ambition of their club , their manager and maybe even themselves . I 'm aware of plenty of Villa supporters who are of the opinion - as is their right - that Villa are having to target the percentages when it comes easing PSR issues and maximising revenue streams . I get it . It 's been a difficult enough summer ( which , for what it 's worth , I think Villa have negotiated very well ) in which they had to remain within boundaries and they 're a club looking to be on the up on the field @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , though , I ca n't get on board with these prices at all . There is n't really a way to dress it up - it 's obscene . The idea that the average supporter should be expected to pay a pound a minute for a football match is potentially a dangerous precedent to set in what is already an uncertain and unstable landscape . Villa ca n't afford to throw cash around , despite NSWE being able to afford it , and they must find ways to resolve that issue - understandable . They also ca n't afford for there to be hordes of empty seats at Villa Park as they welcome Champions League football back to Birmingham for the first time in more than a generation . One is more damaging than the other . Story Saved You can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right . |

Reasoning
×
The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'make money out of cutting greenhouse gas emissions' does not involve a causee NP object that participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a means of generating profit, which is not aligned with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Abu Dhabi state oil giant ADNOC will acquire a 35% stake in a planned Exxon Mobil large-scale hydrogen plant in Texas , the companies said on Wednesday .

The project is part of Exxon 's efforts to create a new business to make money out of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by other companies looking to decarbonise their own operations . ADNOC Executive Vice President of Low Carbon Solutions and Business Development Michele Fiorentino told Reuters that the output will be used to supply " either the refining system of Exxon Mobil or third party buyers of blue hydrogen connected to the pipeline network in the Gulf coast " .

He declined to disclose the project 's costs , but indicated it would be in the billions of dollars .

" They added : " I love that it 's easy to fill and empty and that the supplied detergent smells so fresh and clean it 's like everything is brand new . I was considering getting new carpets , but I just needed a decent carpet cleaner - and this is it ! " Another shopper agreed : " This Shark CarpetXpert Carpet Cleaner is an absolute lifesaver .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It involves an intransitive verb 'comes' with no NP object and the phrase 'out of something I thought was clean' does not introduce a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'get out of' which is a phrasal verb followed by a gerund, not involving a transitive verb with an object that is a causee. Additionally, it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the transitive out of -ing construction.

It was a mystery so harrowing that most of Russell Lowbridge 's family refused to ever even mention it . Growing up he knew he should never bring up the subject of what had happened to his missing grandfather Alfred Swinscoe , 54 , who on a cold night in January 1967 gave his son Gary 10 bob for last orders , then popped to the outside toilet of his local pub - and vanished into thin air . Most thought the proud Derbyshire miner and pigeon racer - nicknamed ' Sparrow ' and ' the Champion Pigeon Man of Pinxton ' - recently estranged from his long-suffering wife , had run out on her and their six kids . Only Gary , Russell 's uncle and the last person to see Alfred at the Miners ' Arms in Pinxton village , refused to believe he would have abandoned his family and never gave up hoping he would see his dad again - right up to the day he died in 2012 . Russell Lowbridge at the site of the Miner 's Arms pub in Pinxton , Derbys , now a private home @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just four when Alfred disappeared , thought he 'd never discover the truth . Then suddenly , while scrolling social media and coming across a police post about a body that had been dug up in a farmer 's field , he recognised one of his long-lost granddad 's odd socks from 56 years earlier . It was the shock start to a year which has cleared up decades of uncertainty - but has also left him with questions he fears will never be answered . And with a stalled cold case police inquiry , and an inquest into his grandfather 's death which has just been adjourned , Russell is now making a last-ditch plea for information before the case is closed forever . The fate of Alfred Swinscoe would still be lost in history if a farmer had n't dug a ditch next to a copse beside his field , in Sutton-in-Ashfield , Notts , to deter trial bikers from tearing up his land in April last year . He called police after human bones and a man 's clothes , buried 6ft under @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Traumatic injuries to the skeleton later showed that the man , who still had pre-decimal coins in his pocket , had been violently murdered . Russell , who lives a few miles from the field and had driven past it hundreds of times , remembers : " I did n't pay much attention to begin with , but then police posted a photo of a pair of odd socks and I had this incredible flashback , with the black sock in particular . " I suddenly remembered as a kid putting on my granddad 's sock and pulling them up so the heel came right up to my knee . I called police and they came to take a DNA swab . That 's when we found out that it really was Alfred . I was shocked and flabbergasted . " It turns out that he was wearing odd socks on the night . My initial thoughts about that were , ' poor lad , he 'd left his wife and was down on his luck , he was was in lodgings and was n't on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just one of his feet and he was wearing two socks on each . It was in the middle of winter . " Russell said he had a flashback after seeing a photo of his grandfather 's odd socks Russell says he probably would n't have known anything about his granddad if it were n't for Gary , his closest uncle , with whom he shared a love for pigeon racing - which was also Alfred 's favourite pastime . He says : " My mother never spoke about him , nor my grandmother , it was only ever Uncle Gary . " I think there was some upset amongst the family because he had left home about a year earlier . Alfred could become quite erratic after a few pints and caused quite a few arguments . The others laid it to bed and got on with their lives . But Gary never shut up about him , he would tell stories about him and often say , ' I wish I knew where my dad was ' . " He told me he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , abandoned buildings , ditches and down old wells , anywhere Alfred could have fell or been put , and he never gave up on it . Even when he got older he would go looking , while he still had the strength . " He always thought something sinister had happened . He was just an ordinary simple man . He had no passport , driving licence or car . He could n't have started a new life somewhere else . " Gary would write to the Salvation Army but they never found any trace of Alfred . Later in life , he enlisted solicitors to look for his death certificate , but they never found anything either . He even paid a private investigator , but all to no avail and he took it all to his deathbed . " When Uncle Gary died my first thoughts were , ' Oh dear , what happens now ? We 'll never find out what really happened . ' " When I heard about the body I knew I had to get in touch , even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . I had to do it for Uncle Gary . " Alfred Swinscoe ( sitting on the step ) with his daughter Julie sitting on the motorbike with grandson Russell . Alfred had started working at Langton Colliery in Ashfield , aged 14 , rising to become a ' cutter ' who operated machinery cutting out large chunks of coal from the coal face . Although Alfred had split a year earlier from his wife Caroline , who had moved to nearby Sutton-in-Ashfield with their children and grandchildren , including Russell and his mother Julie , Gary , then 30 , had continued to see him , often meeting up for a drink at the Miners ' Arms . January 27 , 1967 , a Friday night , was pay day at the pit , according to Russell , who says : " Gary had gone out with a mate that night and met up with granddad at the pub . He remembers his dad giving him 10 bob to get the last round , and then glancing round and seeing him going out . He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be right back . " The next morning , the man he 'd been lodging with came round our house in Ashfield looking for him , because he had n't come home that night and it was the day he had to pay his board . He thought he 'd run away to get out of paying . " But everyone 's theories devised over the next five decades were blown apart last year by scientific examination of his remains . Russell says : " He was murdered quite viciously . There was blunt force trauma to the head and sharp force trauma to the jaw lines , so it might have been the edge of a spade , and possibly stabbing afterwards . " They said he fought for his life . There were signs of a broken hand , as if he 'd given somebody a good right hook . And they found trauma to his ribs and his back , as if he 'd been grappling with someone and they 'd been punching him in the ribs . " Police believe he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they buried him , because there were fingers and ribs missing as if he 'd been ravaged by foxes and badgers . Whoever killed him went back to make sure he was never found . " Police cordoned off the field after Alfred 's remains were discovered The copse where Alfred 's body was found was a known site for gay liaisons in the 60s - when homosexuality was illegal . " Did they bury him there because they knew no-one would have dared report anything suspicious to the police ? Or had grandad found out that the man who killed him was gay and he was killed so he could n't tell ? " ponders Russell . " The police also believe that whoever did it had a car , because of the distance to the field , and there were n't a lot of cars on the road at that time . Did they kill him first , or hoodwink him into taking a ride , then stop somewhere and do the deed ? " Perhaps the biggest blow , however , was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suspects .

It came as quite a blow actually , " he says . One of the suspects had a history of violence and theft and was in the Miners ' Arms on the night Alfred disappeared . Some of the injuries found on his body were similar to those he had inflicted on a man he was convicted of assaulting in April 1966 , according to police . Russell says : " My uncle had already suspected one of them . He 'd had been in a battle or two with him himself and he 'd been in the forces so knew military tactics . He always thought he was the prime suspect and even challenged him many times over the years . " But I do n't agree with the police about the other one .

" In January , the family finally laid Alfred to rest - on top of son Gary and next to daughter Carol and his wife Caroline , who never remarried - in a Sutton-in-Ashfield cemetery . The funeral was officiated by Stephen Blakeley , who played PC Younger in the TV series Heartbeat and now works as a celebrity celebrant . Russell says : " It 's some comfort for the family to know he did n't abandon them , and that he 's not lost anymore . But it 's so tragic that poor Uncle Gary never got to find out what happened to him . " While the mystery that haunted his family for decades has been solved , there are many unanswered questions .

" Assistant Chief Constable Rob Griffin , of Nottinghamshire Police , said : " Alfred died in the most horrendous way imaginable . Not only did he suffer violent injuries , but he was then buried in a field so that no one would find him .

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('Jeff Walz') + V1 ('talk') + NP object ('his baby bro') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('gulping down the pinko Kool-Aid'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the subject is attempting to prevent the object from performing the action described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. The verb 'talk' is classified under the means of verbal persuasion, which is one of the categories of verbs that can appear in the V1 slot of the construction. The NP object 'his baby bro' is a causee who participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The verb 'gets' is followed by an NP object 'a special kick' and the phrase 'out of meeting the word count exactly' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Additionally, the NP object 'a special kick' does not function as a causee.

( Image credit : Hangar 13 ) Me and the other Mafia sickos are jonesing to drive so unbelievably slowly in The Old Country . We 're cackling with glee at the prospect of taking the reins of a horseless carriage in 1900s Sicily - a time when cars were an obscene , rickety toy for those with more money than sense . We 're rubbing our hands together at the idea of taking the corners like a bowling ball while the police catch up on foot . We 're itching to get our hands on the Fiat 6 HP , a racecar that looks like an overgrown pram . Why ? Because this slightly perverse , backwards idiosyncrasy is baked into Mafia 's DNA . You could argue that the series becomes more itself the further back in time it 's set . The first entry - an urban open world game released at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ few years ago for the Definitive Edition - kicked off in the Prohibition era . Where Vice City recreated the Ferrari Testarossa and big-wheeled dune buggies of Miami in the ' 80s , Mafia leaned into the gothic-ass hearses and Cruella de Vil-mobiles of its own period . Its first mission , An Offer You Ca n't Refuse , saw you drive two wise guys out of dodge in the back of your taxi - apologizing and muttering under your breath as you careened helplessly into every second lamppost of a gently fictionalized Chicago . This commitment to setting might sound absurd -- funny , even . Why trundle along at a top speed of 46mph when you could be stunt flipping between skyscrapers in the streets of Los Santos ? This steady pace , however , is a crucial part of the way Mafia grounds its action . Yes , you have to spend the original game 's second mission driving fares to their destination - taking care not to break the speed limit for fear of getting flagged down by the cops , in a farcical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , you 'd never understand protagonist Tommy 's attraction to the dangerous , glamorous life of a gangster . The Mafia games were never afraid to bore you to make a point . In the sequel , you stacked boxes at the docks , tasting the dreary dissatisfaction of a life lived honestly , before you were whipped into the world of the family . It 's an approach that brought dynamic range to its storytelling -- just as the pianissimo segment of an overture , sung at a whisper , can leave space for the orchestra to swell to a powerful crescendo of brass and thudding cannons . To be completely honest , we did n't always understand what Illusion Softworks was reaching for back in the noughties . Back then , open world games were brasher , and expectations were set by GTA 's chaotic toybox , which was full of explosive diversions . When Mafia 2 came out , Eurogamer accused it of " destroying the myth that the mafia is interesting at all " . " It contends that the mob world is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " the site 's 4/10 review concluded . " These drones wake up each morning , carry out a series of repetitious tasks , and return home .

( Image credit : Illusion Software ) That 's no dig at Eurogamer in particular , who were simply in tune with the tastes of the time . But it 's worth noting that Rockstar seemed to get it . While the developer made regular digs at Driver in its games , it never took aim at Mafia . Maybe that 's simply because the two series shared a paymaster at Take-Two . But I want to believe the GTA studio understood that Illusion Softworks was doing something different and important . Certainly , by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ parallels between Team Bondi 's police procedural and Mafia . Both games treated the open world as a lavish movie set - not as an endless source of distractions , but a textural tool that deepened your connection with the stories set against its backdrop . Today , in the wake of GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 , there 's no question that Rockstar values the slower pace first established by the Mafia games . If you 've ever taken any pleasure in driving Lamar around Los Santos just to hear the lanky lad chat , then you 've Illusion Softworks to thank for establishing that urban open world tradition . As Andy explained in his own take on Mafia : The Old Country , the series lost its way on the third iteration by locking its main story behind side activities that eventually became rote . But Hangar 13 president Nick Baynes has already said that The Old Country will return " to the roots of what fans love about the Mafia franchise " , with a " deep linear narrative " . It 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the turn of the century , promises to bring back the slow self-assuredness that once gave the series an indelible identity . That , and motor vehicles with the horsepower of a nag with no head .

He specialises in features and interviews , and gets a special kick out of meeting the word count exactly . He missed the golden age of magazines , so is making up for lost time while maintaining a healthy modern guilt over the paper waste .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes the product's condition after testing but does not involve a causer causing a causee to move or prevent an action. The phrase 'came out of testing unmarked' does not involve a VP2[-ing] predicate or the required semantic interpretations (movement/extraction or prevention).

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes a situation where fans were kicked out of queuing, but there is no clear causer (NP subject) performing an action to cause the fans (NP object) to move out of an action (VP2[-ing]). The phrase 'kicked out of queuing' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes problems fans faced, including being kicked out of queuing, but lacks the necessary components (a V1 verb and an NP object functioning as a causee) to qualify as an instance of the construction. The phrase 'being kicked out of queuing' does not involve a causer causing a causee to move or preventing them from an action in the manner defined by the construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it involves 'opting out of using electronic referral forms', where 'opting out of' is a phrasal verb followed by a gerund, not fitting the construction's criteria for movement/extraction or prevention interpretations.

Family doctors in North Staffordshire could start limiting appointments to 25 a day as part of a national dispute over their new contract . Local GPs are taking part in the national collective action approved by the British Medical Association following a ballot of its members , with the aim of securing a better GP contract . The government says the ' work to rule ' measures , which could include limiting patient contacts to 25 a day and opting out of using electronic referral forms , will ' punish ' patients . But GP leaders insist that the collective action - which is not a strike , as GPs are not employees - will not impact on patient care , and is being carried out to ' save general practice ' . The BMA has approved a list of 10 actions , all of which are allowed under the current contract , and left it up to individual practices to decide which they will carry out . North Staffordshire Local Medical Committee has written to local GPs to advise them on the various actions and offer support . In relation to limiting patient contacts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ limits is vital if we are to have a sustainable environment to work in ' . The letter states : " We believe that this should become business as usual . Stories of GPs have upwards of 60 contacts are both unsafe and worrying . If you move to 15-minute appointments , the limit of 25 contacts is equivalent to just over six hours of patient time per clinician per day . European doctors are often shocked to hear of the amount of contacts UK GPs are having , we have reluctantly accepted this as normal as demand grows and capacity reduces . " The first step is to acknowledge that you have limits ( whatever number of contacts you deem acceptable ) to help maintain patient safety . " The LMC also advises GPs that they are not contractually obliged to use local referral forms ' that add to your workload ' . According to the letter , the LMC plans for this change to take place from September 1 , after all secondary care providers have been informed . But the action will not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ symptoms of cancer .

We will not do any collective action that will affect direct patient care . " A spokesperson said : " This is a national issue , and the nature of the action means that the impacts will vary at different GP practices . We are continuing to monitor the situation closely but it is vital that patients still attend their appointments unless they are told otherwise . Practices should inform you of any changes to services .

We have already accepted the independent pay review body recommendation of a six per cent uplift in GP pay and committed to hiring an extra 1,000 GPs into the NHS by cutting red tape , through an ? 82 million boost to the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes an action ('jumped into the sea') and a condition ('borne out of freezing water in Cornwall') that does not involve a causee or a prevention/movement interpretation. The phrase 'borne out of' is used in a descriptive sense rather than as part of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Every birthday I am indulged by having complete control of the day - I can dictate to the family where we are going and what we are doing . In the past I have demanded we visit castles and country pubs , which were both met with vague but positive reactions from everyone , but also museums and art galleries , which had a range of reactions from stunned silence to mutterings and moans . But this year was different . Even though it 's in July it is surprising how many years there has been appalling weather on my special day , so this year when the sun was scheduled to make an appearance and yet another storm was way off from landing in Wales , there was only one choice - the beach . We are so blessed in Wales to have a myriad of cosy coves , sweeping sandy shores , and utterly breathtaking beaches and bays , so for many people the challenge is to choose which one to visit , but for me there 's one that will always be my favourite , although spending the day at any Welsh beach @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more property stories sent to your inbox twice a week sign up to the property newsletter here . A very unique section of the Welsh coastline ( Image : Jo Ridout , WalesOnline ) I 've been so lucky to have travelled to some of the most famous beaches in the world and they have all been memorable and have their own unique beauty but in my heart there 's only one beach that will ever win , so Byron Bay and Bondi beach can both bog off , Waikiki can walk away , and Surfrider beach is California stunner for sure but for me there 's no contest - my Welsh gem beats them all . Meandering through the lanes of Gower Peninsula west of Swansea on my birthday there were a number of unique and gorgeous beaches to try and tempt us to divert from our final destination , but Rhossili was always calling and we were only going to answer that one location . When you arrive Rhossili itself is just a small village with a sprinkling of homes , a church and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an end at the National Trust car park and the first incredible aspect of this mesmerising location comes into view - Worm 's Head - a headland that juts out into the Atlantic ocean with the most distinctive of rock formations . Only a sprinkling of homes in the village , some with an outstanding sea view ( Image : Jo Ridout , WalesOnline ) It 's heartening to know that , according to website Visit Swansea Bay , the National Trust own much of the land in this area , including the beach , Worm 's Head and also Rhossili Down , so the future of this largely unspoilt corner of Wales is assured . The conservation charity 's website states that the area called ' The Worm ' comes from the Norse word ' Wurme ' , meaning dragon or serpent . Vikings believed the island was a sleeping dragon because of its shape , rising from the sea like a mythical beast . Worm 's Head is worth exploring ( Image : Jo Ridout , WalesOnline ) We parked the car for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ members , in the Trust 's fields found behind their visitor centre and made our way to the coastal path which can take you on a hike along Worm 's Head that takes up to an hour going one way . But if you 're planning to cross to the tip of the worm beware - the cliffs are steep and when the tide comes in you could get stranded . Almost every year we write about people being stranded on the worm and having to be rescued - find out more about that here . This day the sun was out and the sky was blue , so in the battle of what to do the waves beat the worm , so we headed towards the beach entrance . It is always worth stopping and becoming completely immersed in the staggering , panoramic view of the beach that stretches out before you at the well-placed bench on the cliff-top . From here the interrupted view treats you to towering mountains sweeping down to the coast and dramatically halting when they reach the golden sand . The three @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when you see people on the beach looking like tiny ants you realise just how colossal the landscape is , and how unspoilt it is too ; no shops , no toilets , no car park right next to the beach - just the power of nature reminding us of how beautiful and dramatic it can be . Designated one of the best beaches in the world - the best in my view ( Image : Jo Ridout , WalesOnline ) I love this captivating visual welcome to the beach - it 's burnt into my soul and brings me so much pleasure . Anytime and anywhere in the world , if I 'm feeling homesick for Wales and hiraeth is raging , I just close my eyes and recall the fresh sea breeze on my face flavoured with ocean droplets and the roar of the waves as they gallop up the beach to meet the mountains . Truly breathtaking . It 's not a surprise to anyone who has ever visited , or even just seen photos , of Rhossili Beach and bay to find out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the UK , Europe and the world . In 2024 , it was named among Lonely Planet 's 100 best beaches in the world , while TripAdvisor users voted it the world 's 10th best beach in the world in 2013 . Its visually dramatic landscape means that the beach and coast have appeared on TV and not just travel shows and Welsh-based programmes , with arguably the most famous being BBC Cymru Wales ' Doctor Who , with the Tardis memorably perched on the top of the cliff . The icing on this visually yummy cake is the existence of a single building at the base of the mountains that punctures the landscape with one reminder that humans are part of this beach 's history . The well-placed property is the National Trust owned Old Rectory , it was built in the 1800s and has an intriguing past that includes its role as a base for radar workers during the Second World War as well as appearing in the hit TV series Torchwood . You can now stay in the four-bedroom house but booking early @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and it has even welcomed some famous guests , including The One Show presenter Alex Jones - find out more about that here .

The view from the table was enough to distract you from the food and the sun shone so strongly we needed to open the table parasol . The owner told us that the meal might not be the cheapest - we had the Chef 's Gower Beer Battered Fish and Chips at ? 17.95 each - but they strived to serve the best quality and we certainly thoroughly enjoyed it . Yummy lunch ( Image : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time , so we trekked down the sometimes steep , sometimes tarmacked path down to the immense sandy beach that stretches for miles , especially when the tide is out . It 's a route that takes some time , especially if you are a bit nervous about tripping , but there 's no rush - just enjoy strolling and descending down to the shoreline to become a part of its immense landscape . It 's not until you get onto the beach you can truly take onboard just how vast it is , how far away your nearest beach visitor is located even on a busy July day in the school summer holidays . We jumped into the sea with battle hardened skin borne out of freezing water in Cornwall but even we were n't prepared for how frosty the sea was that day .

Growing up with a wonderful mum who had worry as her default setting , it was in my genes to be a little nervous about swimming in the sea with no lifeguard but , as a group , we kept near the shore and were mindful to look out for any rip currents . There were other people enjoying the water but such is the size and scale of the bay that there was no issue with being mowed down by a child on an out of control body board , unlike so many beaches . The bay is popular for surfing too , as it offers consistent waves all year round , although the larger swell is found at the far end of the bay which is known as Llangennith .

We were n't the only ones thinking the wind was perfect that day , but on a larger scale , as we looked up and saw three people paragliding . No thanks to that - no engine , no parachute , just skill and gusts of wind . They waved , we waved back , and then felt thankful to be on the ground .

The sentence 'Under the SNP-Green coalition, ministers promised sweeping legislation that would have criminalised both 'gay conversion therapy' and attempts by parents to talk their children out of undergoing gender transition, which would also have been classed as conversion.' involves the transitive out of -ing construction. It follows the structural pattern NP subject (parents) + V1 (talk) + NP object (their children) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (undergoing gender transition). The interpretation here is a prevention interpretation, where the parents are attempting to prevent their children from undergoing gender transition by means of talking. The NP object (their children) functions as a causee, and the construction fits the semantic and syntactic criteria outlined.

The SNP has n't wanted for its woes lately but now there is fresh trouble on the way . Lorna Slater , co-leader of the Scottish Greens , tells the BBC it is ' unlikely ' that her party will vote for the next Scottish government budget after the Nationalists unveiled ? 500 million in cuts aimed at balancing Holyrood 's books . Many of the services reduced or scrapped in SNP finance minister Shona Robison 's announcement last week were originally put in place by the Greens when they were in coalition between 2021 and 2024 . Humza Yousaf 's decision in April to end the governing pact brought a vote of no confidence and the announcement of his resignation four days later . Appearing on the Sunday Show , Slater said her party had ' worked really hard within government ' to get funding for ' things like Zero Waste Scotland , all the net zero , transportation , active travel ' . Among the Robison cuts which the Greens are opposing are the scrapping of an all-off-peak rail fares pilot , reductions in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? 2 million scheme to provide free bus travel to asylum seekers , and a ? 460 million raid on the ScotWind wealth fund . Slater told the BBC : ' The SNP have now rolled back on all of that , so it does n't look like they 're wanting our votes , so they need to get the votes from another party in the chamber . ' Her appearance follows a number of terse criticisms of the SNP government in the Holyrood chamber last week . Replying to the programme for government , the Scottish parliament equivalent of the King 's Speech , Slater accused First Minister John Swinney of ' selling out the future of our young people ' by cutting net zero funding and said his government 's ' cowardice ' meant it had ' given up ' on creating a fairer , greener Scotland for future generations . She branded as ' delusional ' the idea that the Scottish government could ' deliver all the same things while spending less money ' and characterised the withdrawal of the ScotWind cash as ' emptying the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ give handouts to big business ' . Slater also raised the absence of a bill banning conversion practices from the programme . Under the SNP-Green coalition , ministers promised sweeping legislation that would have criminalised both ' gay conversion therapy ' and attempts by parents to talk their children out of undergoing gender transition , which would also have been classed as conversion . Gender identity ideology and associated policies and legislation are central planks of the Scottish Green platform . Slater warned Swinney not to ' cower to the reactionary forces of the right ' . The following day , she used first minister 's question time , the first since Holyrood returned from summer recess , to attack him for backtracking on a promise to provide free school meals to all primary-aged pupils in Scotland . The free meals pledge was another coalition-era policy and breaking it was a ' betrayal ' that showed all the work done by the Greens in government was being ' undone , slashed , watered down or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not limited to Slater . Earlier in the week , her colleague Ross Greer , responding to Robison 's pre-budget fiscal update , pointed out that the finance minister had not turned her efficiency drive to small-business tax relief , saying she was ' handing public cash to big business and elite landowners while slashing critical spending to tackle the climate emergency ' . It appears from these interventions , and Slater 's comments to the BBC , that the Greens have settled on their strategy for the 2026 Scottish parliament elections . Where they were previously a reliable sidekick to the Nationalists , they seem to be reinventing themselves as the progressive alternative to the SNP . High tax , big spending , climate-focused , proudly woke and pro-independence , the Greens have always been well positioned to peel off the left-wing of the SNP vote . But in working cooperatively with the Nationalists , in and out of government , and teaming up with them to campaign for Scottish independence , the Greens limited their appeal . Labour and Lib Dem voters were suspicious of their closeness @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need to vote Green when their party under Nicola Sturgeon was speaking the language of the left anyway . Of all the rhetoric Lorna Slater has directed at the SNP this past week , one sentence will have stood out from all the others in the minds of John Swinney and those around him : ' The message of this week 's programme for government is that , if people want progressive green policies , they need to vote to have Greens in the room . ' That sounds very much like a declaration of intention . A Green strategy of compare and contrast with the SNP , of highlighting how progressive the Scottish government was when they were helping shape its agenda and how centrist and cuts-happy it is now they are out in the cold , could pay dividends at the next Holyrood election . The SNP lost 39 of its 48 Commons seats in the general election , most of them to Labour , which is hopeful of wresting control of the Scottish government from the Nationalists in 2026 . Badgering the SNP from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the regional list ( eight at the last election ) and while a constituency victory is probably still a long shot outside of student-heavy Glasgow Kelvin if the party stands candidates in every constituency it could take big bites out of the Nationalist vote . When Nicola Sturgeon brought the Greens into government in 2021 , many of her opponents said publicly , and some of her supporters privately , that it was a mistake to collaborate with such a fringe party . But Sturgeon made decisions from a focus group of one and once she decided that she needed the majority the Greens could provide , the matter was settled and everyone else had to fall in line . Yet in elevating them she gave them the prominence and platform from which they now look likely to attack the Nationalists . Sturgeon 's dazzling blend of political vanity and ineptitude strikes again , and for the SNP it could prove to be a devastating strike .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'backed out of purchasing her house' involves an intransitive verb 'backed out' with no NP object, and the second predicate 'purchasing her house' does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Loose Women 's Jane Moore has been saddled with a substantial legal bill after a potential buyer backed out of purchasing her house at the last minute . The 62 year old presenter is eager to find a new abode once her current family home sells , but the process is proving quite taxing . Jane shared an update on the situation , revealing that she 's had to start from scratch as the sale fell through when the buyers of her property experienced their own sale collapse , leading to a chain breakdown . " It was under offer earlier this year and the survey was fine , but then the house sale of the people buying it fell through and the chain collapsed , " she said . She agreed to wait for them to secure another buyer , but they found the situation too overwhelming and chose to remain in their home . This turn of events has forced Jane to re-list her property and face " a hefty legal bill " . Speaking to Platinum Magazine , she recounted : " Worse , as the sale fell through on the week @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all the cupboards and the house looked an absolute tip . " " It was another fortnight before I could re-list it . " , reports the Express . Jane Moore ( Image : ( Image : GETTY ) ) In response to feedback from previous viewings , Jane has decided to make some updates to her home , hoping these improvements will help clinch a firm sale . Wrapping up her column , she called on her readers to send good wishes her way , hoping for success in her move . The TV personality is selling her home following a separation from her long-time partner and " best friend " Gary Farrow . She opened up about their split for the first time on the programme in 2022 , having kept it under wraps for a year .

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

As A-ha 's Take On Me passes 2 billion streams on Spotify , we look back with Paul Waaktaar-Savoy and Magne Furuholmen on their debut album 's remarkable story of persistence When you purchase through links on our site , we may earn an affiliate commission . Here 's how it works . ( Image credit : A-ha / Warner Bros ) The world may have discovered A-ha with Take On Me , but the Norwegian trio certainly did n't magically appear in the high reaches of the charts in 1985 as a fully formed band . There were crucial formative years as teenage songwriters , leaps of faith over the English Channel , and a fast track to developing a synth-led sound in London . Nearly 40 years later it has songwriters Magne Furuholmen and Paul Waaktaar-Savoy reflecting with us in separate interviews from their respective homes in Norway and LA as A-ha 's debut album Hunting High And Low @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's a fascinating listen ; charting ambitious young musicians who came to London with a dream of making it as pop-rock stars ; living on their wits in bedsits by day and crafting their new sound recording demos by night in a South London studio as they developed a wealth of material ; plenty of which never made the cut on the record . Even some of the demos of their biggest hits -- including Take On Me -- are vastly different from the radio mainstays we know today . A-ha 's classic synth-pop debut is a story that could have easily gone a very different way if it was n't for the musicians involved , their determination to make it , and some fortuitous connections ... ( Image credit : A-ha / BMG ) Before the three of you came to London as a band from Norway , you and Paul came over for a while on your own without Morten . Looking back , that idea of coming to England to make it as musicians seems like a huge leap of faith . Had the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Magne : " Yes , for a long time . Paul and I had been together in bands since I was 12 or 13 . And we just felt that there was no kind of chance to make it internationally coming from Norway because at the time it was sort of a wasteland in terms of pop culture . So there was a very clear kind of conviction that London was where we wanted to be . It was where all our heroes were from or had made it and we had a pretty strong conviction that this is where we need to be . " That 's the good thing about being young and with a common purpose in a band , rather than being a solo artist , you sort of prop each other up as you go . Even though things go from bad to worse in terms of living standards and having to do jobs to just survive in an interim period , we always had that belief that whatever we had going musically was somehow worthwhile to pursue . And London was where we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be . " Want all the hottest music and gear news , reviews , deals , features and more , direct to your inbox ? Sign up here .

Paul : " From a fairly early age , we sort of made plans and I have to say we made a lot of different plans , and that is the one that worked . But from when we started high school that was sort of the game plan , and we got more and more determined as we went along . We had another band going at that time called Bridges and even then there was no in-between ; you had to follow the plan . " So when we sort of lost that band , Magne and myself ended up going to London the first time around , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the set-up we 'd thought up . So once we got there , of course , it took a year or two before we actually got anything going . " The six-LP version of Hunting High And Low contains a wealth of extra material including b-sides and demos ( Image credit : A-ha / BMG ) What was the music scene like in London at that time ? Magne : " I do n't think we had a good idea of how much exciting music was being made in the ' 80s with the whole kind of influx of synthesizers on the level that was going on at the time . It was n't something that we were aware of before we left . We had a more sort of romantic idea of London in the ' 60s and the ' 70s , and it was kind of a culture shock , actually , to come over and listen to the radio having new artists and new singles and such a variety of musical styles happening in the charts on a weekly basis . We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of us until it sounded ok " It was just an onslaught of really interesting and new stuff . So it was almost like being schooled . We were flummoxed by the sheer magnitude of popular culture in London at the time . I think , looking back , you can see how fertile musically that period was . And we just had this romantic idea where we were going to be international pop-rock stars and we needed to be in London . " We came from a country where basically radio was n't playing much pop music and so it was just a real culture shock , and we kind of updated our sound just by necessity because we did n't have a band or a standard band format . We played pretty much any instrument that was put in front of us until it sounded ok . And synthesizers made it possible to go into a rented demo studio and just fiddle around and create something with drum machines -- the Linndrum . " We were ok musicians , we could play a variety of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , we did n't have any live situation going on . We were n't allowed to work in London . This was prior to the EU obviously , and , you know , we sort of snuck in on tourist visas and just had a pretty naive and romantic idea of how fast things were going to move and how much we were going to improve by being there . But looking back , that 's exactly what happened . " We just got sucked into this period in time where so much great stuff was coming out and we 're just , you know , fortunate to be compared to that . " I think we rediscovered our love for pop songs Paul : " Compared to Norway , which was a desert at that point , and now it 's booming with lots of new music , but back then it was nothing and in London we were overwhelmed in a way because we got to hear so much new music . " Up to that point , we 'd been very introspective musically @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ songs and more involved type of stuff . So I think we rediscovered our love for pop songs and we wanted to do our own as well . So we got very inspired to come up with stuff that was more immediate and had a more immediate effect on the listener . We started by watching everything we could see on TV and we started heading out to different clubs -- wherever was very cheap to get in we would go . " In the A-ha movie , it 's clear that you guys were living in quite basic and difficult conditions on both trips you made to London . Paul : " Yes , so we loved places like Camden Palace because if you dressed crazy enough you got in for free . That was actually the plan -- they 'd pick you out in the line and say , ' Ok you can go in ' . " And that place in itself was hugely inspiring . The sound coming off of walls and the harshness -- we just loved it . " It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of invention coming up -- you 'd have the Fairlight and the synclavier Synthesizers were at the forefront of a lot of pop music during that time , was that a contrast to your previous band Bridges , who seemed more rock-orientated ? Paul : " Well , actually on the last album with Bridges second album V ? kenatt was recorded in 1980 and finally released in 2018 we had already made a decision that everything needed to be synths . So we forced our bass player to buy a bass synth and our drummer to buy synth drums . We could n't afford the latest thing so it was more like the ' 70s versions of synths where we had to spend half an hour getting the next sound before you could play . " We came over with a kind of crappy cassette with some demos and we realised we had to do something better . So we booked the studio in Sydenham in South London and the only thing we knew was that it would have to have a drum machine and a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and it had to be cheap . " We 'd spent our teenage years sort of playing in straight-up bands so we were very inspired because at that point there was so much come new , exciting product coming out . It seemed like everywhere you looked there was a new sort of invention coming up -- you 'd have the Fairlight and the Synclavier . There were a lot of things to be curious about . " ( Image credit : Luciano Viti/Getty Images ) ) Morten was n't with you on that first trip to London and you went back to Norway for a while to regroup with him before returning . Did you work on material for the first album during that time ? Magne : " Well we got some material together but I think the only song ... well it was n't even a song , but bits of Take On Me were part of that first round of the demos we did . The few months that we spent back in Norway , in a cabin outside Oslo were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get to work with Morten and put his vocals on our songs and stuff . One rejection after another just made us more resilient " So we did record like four or five demos , but none of which made the album except for the verse and the riff to Take On Me -- not even with the same lyrics and not with the same chorus . So there were bits and bobs here and there but it was a very fertile time . We came back to England , I think , with four or five demos and sort of started schlepping around knocking on doors and trying to get people to listen to it . And one rejection after another just made us more resilient . " We knew time and money were running out fast and we just needed to find a studio with enough instruments in it so we could actually make something happen . We spent the last money we had on this ambitious plan of recording five songs in two days , or whatever we could afford . I think we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ manager John Ratcliff heard it and he said , ' Oh , that 's kind of interesting . Where are you guys from ? What are you doing ? I 'd like to give you some extra studio time , if you can come in at night . ' " We did that and recorded another song . And then eventually recorded a song called Dream Myself Alive , which he really liked . And he said , ' I can maybe get you guys a singles deal ' or whatever . And it just kept growing from there ; he just gave us more time and we recorded more songs he thought were even better than the previous ones . And it just sort of snowballed into getting in touch with contacts he had in the industry and becoming our manager . It rolled on from there . " But it was n't exactly luxury life -- we were sleeping in a basement in southeast London without windows . Sleeping on polystyrene sheets . But we never really faltered or gave up because we had a great @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the studio and slept during the day -- it was fantastic . " The real outpouring of creativity started in Rendezvous studio in Sydenham Did you have any of your own gear that you brought from Norway or were you completely reliant on the studio that you were going into ? Magne : " Well the first time around when Paul and I left Norway , we had one big synthesizer -- a big Korg synthesizer , and Paul had an acoustic guitar and that was about it . Then for the second trip , we sold off whatever gear we had to be able to go together . So we basically just had a couple of acoustic guitars that we fought over -- all three of us . Then we ended up with a couple of little synths lying around , but nothing major . " The real outpouring of creativity started in Rendezvous studio , Forest Hill in Sydenham when we recorded those demos and we were just like kids in a candy store . That was the moment where we started to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , just by necessity . " Magne : " There was a Prophet 5 in that studio and that was a shell shock . That was a game changer . " Paul : " The Prophet 5 really suited the music , because there were so many sort of atmospheric sounds . You just put your fingers on it and you had lots of ideas coming at you . I think before the first album was done , we probably had songs for three albums demoed in that studio . So it was a big period for us inspiration-wise . " I 'm not a guy to read manuals and stuff like that but for some reason with the Linndrum I did n't have to read them -- I could just do it intuitively . Starting on drums , as my first instrument , you kind of just program it like you would play it if you have the chops to do it . Is that the period a lot of the demos on the boxset come from ? Paul : " Yes and you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , when we first that are trying to figure things out in the studio , and then it got more and more involved as we went along . " We would use everything we could get our hands on . The studio was pretty busy so there was always a band finishing and we were allowed to use that studio when there was downtime , so normally that was about four o'clock in the morning . We would sit there trying to stay awake and then go in at that point . We 'd knock off the song before the next band would come in at 10am or 11am . " But they always left some gear so we would be sneaking in , using whatever they left . It was perfect because we basically had n't spent that much time together with Morten . So that was a nice time to sort of figure out what he can do vocally and where we were as a band . " It was n't like we were trying to be these expert musicians , it was more about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sounds Magne , your journey as a musician is particularly interesting because you were a guitarist in Bridges with Paul , but you switched to keys . Do you think that gave you a different kind of approach to writing melodic hooks ? " Probably . I guess both Paul and I both had a journey from when Paul was playing drums and I was the singer and the guitar player . And then he moved to guitar . So for a while , there were two guitars in the band . And he started singing and then basically suggested that I should change to a keyboard when our then keyboard player , piano actually , quit . " I was n't really too keen on it , but did whatever it took and we were big Doors fans at the time . I was super into Ray Manzarek and sort of modeled my keyboard style on him with playing bass and synth on the left hand , and a dinky organ sound on the right hand . " But it definitely did something to my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I grew up with musicians -- my grandfather was a musician , my father was a musician until his early demise . So I knew my way around the keyboard from a very young age and it was kind of interchangeable . " I mean , to be fair , both Paul and I have always swapped instruments whenever it was needed -- like if someone was better fingerpicking on the guitar . We were both writing on whatever instrument was available from the get-go , and from a very young age . So it was n't like we were trying to be these expert musicians , it was more about just using whatever tool was available to write and create sounds . " I wrote the Take On Me riff when I was 15 . I had no idea at the time that it would be such a definitive statement And the Take On Me keyboard part you wrote , that was around when you were playing in Bridges with Paul ? Magne : " Even before . I wrote that riff when I was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it would be such a definitive statement laughs . I remember Paul trying to diss it and saying , ' Oh this sounds way too commercial , it sounds like an advertising jingle or something ' , because we were into the ' 60s and more flowery , psychedelic darker stuff at the time . And I was like , ' Yeah but it 's kind of catchy though , is n't it ? ' And it was actually Morten that had heard us play live and when we roped him in he was like , ' This riff has got to go on our first record . It 's a hit riff . ' And I said , ' Yeah , that 's what I thought . ' " So it sort of travelled through two or three different songs in the process but it was always something that had survival skills . So that 's my message to young kids ; you 're never too young to write a hit ! So get cracking . " There 's no filler in Take On Me ; if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a hook , you can hum any of those things by itself But it was also a song that almost never became a hit -- with the way it changed over the years , does it feel like fate looking back ? Paul : " A lot of songs that you work on , they might start someplace and then they take some years to get finished . So I mean , it was n't that unusual in a way but with Take On Me , because it was our first single you wanted it to do well . " You can hear all the different versions . We started out with crazy lyrics and became more ... ok it can be poppy but not that kind of crazy . So the first chorus that I had bugged me and was a throwaway thing . And so it took a while to come up with a chorus that took it to a different place . Because it was so poppy , it kind of gave me a headache . So I wanted a chorus that could also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say the word chorus , people start reaching for high notes straightaway . So I was sort of trying to get around that by hitting the lowest note Morten could sing and then bringing it slowly up from that . So that was the concept . And then also incorporating that middle eight which was more like discordant stuff going around to make sure that it did n't get too sugary . " Then finding the beat ; the whole thing was like a big puzzle . There 's no filler on that track ; if you listen to the multitrack , every little part is a hook , you can hum any of those things by itself . You can whistle it -- it 's a very hooky kind of track . " You initially recorded Take On Me with producer Tony Mansfield in 1984 and when that version was released it did n't become a hit despite being played on Radio One -- was that a shock ? Paul : " I have to say that there were some company politics in the background here @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make it . There were elements between Warner Brothers and British arm of Warners WEA . It was n't like they were bending over backwards to make that succeed . And it got to a point where the Warner Brothers end said , ' Do n't do anything more with this , we 're gon na do it . Do n't touch it . ' It was before we had any knowledge of that stuff -- we did n't know . " Within the record company , everybody wants to be the hero . Everybody wants to be there for their project , not your project . Obviously , that second version 's video made us famous overnight , which was n't the norm before that . So for us , we did n't go and tour the first album . Suddenly you could reach the whole world by just promo for the whole thing . We went on a 15-month promo three or four times around the world . " That was the first time you could do that ; before he would have to do an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . And of course , now we think that would have been great because then we could have guided our career more . But at the same time we got very quickly up to the level of having the name of the band recognised everywhere . " At that point we had been given a record deal based on our demos , which were 100% us without anyone else involved What are your memories of the first album sessions with Tony Mansfield ? Magne : " The whole Tony Mansfield experience was slightly surreal , because at that point we had been given a record deal based on our demos , which were 100% us without anyone else involved . It was Paul and me producing demos of the songs and everything from programming , and playing stuff to sound programmed . All the old Juno synths , they did n't have MIDI at the time , and just used arpeggiation to sound like it was programmed by being a bit tricky with your fingers . " But then going into the studio with Tony Mansfield @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the outside , it was a scary thing . And Tony came off a hot streak with a number one in America and he was kind of a big shot . We were sort of both reverential , but at the same time super scared that we would lose a bit of our soul with this guy coming in with tonnes of synths and Synclaviers and these machines that we had very little experience with -- Fairlights and the like . " So it was both an incredible opportunity but at the same time we knew that we were in a kind of precarious situation with it being a first album and a band that was just signed -- we must n't f*** this up . We were similarly excited and open to being challenged by him , and about equal measures of panicking that we would lose a lot of the stuff that was precious to us . " I remember running in and out of the studio and tag-teaming each other ; ' Ok , now it 's your turn to go in and find out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wits out of me . He 's taking the song into a new direction . ' " I think Tony was kind of high on the success he 'd had and more concerned with making a statement as a producer than really delving into the sort of Scandinavian noir stuff that we were really into . So we were fighting tooth and nail to keep some of that in there . " When we finished the recording we were kind of exhausted , but not completely sure that we had cooked everything the way we wanted to do it . A case in point is when the first version of Take On Me was released . It got played on Radio One a couple of times , and then just sort of dropped off the radar . And we were convinced that the record company would drop us and everything was over before it began . But we managed to convince our label to let us have a go at re-recording Take On Me with a different producer . And that 's when Alan Tarney was suggested , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back to the demo version and listened to it . He thought it had more charm and more buoyancy the way we had done it . And that 's the version that everybody knows . " You ran out of time recording the album with Terry Mansfield at Eel Pie Studios -- was that a stressful time ? Paul : I think it was stressful for everybody ... because we did n't feel it was our fault . It was just waiting for him to sort of figure out what to do with the Fairlight or whatever . But then they started talking about like , ' Oh they might drop you -- they spent all this money and we only have seven songs . ' " For me , I had just met Lauren Savoy , who is now my wife . I was a little bit in that world too . I think it sharpened our senses towards the end of the album , and I was worried that it was going to get too poppy , so I was very happy to come up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to make sure that it had something else as well . And we got to tweak Hunting High And Low and re-record Take On Me so it helped sharpen the senses towards the end of the album with producer Alan Tarney . " But I think in a way , our lucky break was a guy , one of the heads in Warner Brothers in America , he heard the tracks and he loved it . So it sort of gave us enough funds to finish it off . " Magne : " The production relationship with Alan was much more fluid , and we felt much more in tune with Alan 's approach . We felt like we were on a roll and I think that kind of reinvigorated the project . Also for the label too . " With nearly all the material for Hunting High And Low written when you were in London , did you feel like you developed as a band quickly when you were in the UK ? Paul : " Yes , absolutely . And on this boxset , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ demo studio with Dot The I. You can hear that and then just a few months later , we would do all the other demos and all sorts of stuff that were b-sides , like What 's That You 're Doing To Yourself In The Pouring Rain . That was recorded up at the demo studio . And if you just compare the production on those two tracks , we kind of picked up a lot of tricks just in a few months . " Is it true that you wrote the album 's closing track , Here I Stand And Face The Rain , while on holiday in Tenerife ? Paul : " Yes that whole song is from there -- not a cloud in sight ! That was also one that I felt was very special for the album . It goes between 6/4 and 4/4 and just had a very cool vibe . It 's one of my favourites on that album . " Were you writing a lot of the genesis of the songs on guitar and transferring the melodies to synth , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? Paul : Yes , I 've always done it that way . It 's always been just a piano or guitar and normally guitar because of the second you sit down with a synth and you get another sound , then another sound -- you get caught up in that instrument . But there 's something very neutral with an acoustic guitar -- I can hear in my head what the arrangement would be and it would n't be confused with the sound that was n't right from a synth I was playing . " A lot of times that 's how we would work because there were only eight tracks and you had to program the drums first because you needed to know where the fills and everything were going . Then you could picture it in your head before you started spending tracks on it to make sure you did n't run out of places to go . " What guitar gear did you have back then ? Paul : " I bought the very first guitar synth made by Roland -- the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guitar . You can use it as a bass too because you can tune it down . For example , in the track Hunting High And Low that 's actually my guitar tuned down to bass register . It gave you a kind of octave sound because you can hear a little bit of the guitar with the low end of the synth . " Andy Summers used one in the Police on Ghost In The Machine . I remember at a party once in Soho , Manhattan Andy Summers came by and he saw mine and said , ' Damn it -- I wish I had n't sold that ! ' " What was your role as a musician on the album - was guitar just part of the equation for you ? Paul : " I play as much synth on the album as Magne does . It 's not really a band where you play this and I play that , it 's really more we play all instruments , whatever it is . So whatever is lying around , that 's what we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ perform the songs live now and the guitar layers you are able to bring forward . Paul : " Once you play bigger places it 's hard to get the same vibe when you take away the drums and the guitar something so immediate and something a little trashy about it that is nice in a live setting . You ca n't control it the same way you can control synths . So I think it really helps us live at least to have that sort of thing that is n't so perfect in a way . " The demos on the boxset are really interesting , charting the journey of the album 's songs but also dramatic changes . The demo for the title track is pretty much a different song -- an upbeat song . What convinced you to change it so much ? Paul : " That was one of those things where you thought it was going to be like an uptempo kind of thing and we tried it . And it was n't bad , but I remember lying in bed and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ totally different setting . I was super tired and thought , ' Will I remember that in the morning ? I 'll probably remember that in the morning . ' But then I was like , ' No , I better go out and record it . ' " I heard that whole verse melody in my head . And it was very hard to find the chords because there 's this one really weird chord in there that kind of transfers from A minor to C minor in the middle of that verse . And I 'm thinking , ' What the hell is that chord ? ' Trying every chord I knew . So that really changed the whole song , and instead of trying to be catchy , it was trying to hit you in a different place . " Magne : " As a band , or as an artist , when you make demos , there 's always one moment in the demo that is hitting the spot for you . And you really want that to be part of whatever you do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kill your darlings . And there 's a lot of that . " There 's a lot of times we felt like the demos had something that was lost . But then something new came in , and I guess temperamentally I was probably the one that was the quickest to sort of respond to new things and add things that I thought were interesting on top of new things . " But there 's always that kind of fear that , ok we lost something here . We got something new , but we lost something in the process . But obviously , with Hunting High And Low that that change took it from a tricky , forgettable song into a classic . So that was a major , major turnaround . " We latched on to it genetically , being from a part of the world where melancholy is a revered state For me , that 's very much that dark Scandinavian element that you referred to earlier . Magne : " Yeah , I mean we did n't define it as a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that we listened to growing up , whether it be things like The Doors -- not typically Scandinavian , but we latched on to it genetically , being from a part of the world where melancholy is a revered state . " So it 's just a kind of an instinctual thing , but I guess the runaway success of Take On Me was what put us in a situation of being on the front cover of Smash Hits and pop sensations , pop idols or whatever you want to call it . We were always kind of fearful that it would overshadow a lot of that sort of more complex and dark music that we were attuned to and had been making throughout our history , and still wanted to champion . " I guess first albums can be tricky in the sense that it 's kind of make or break for you as fledgling young artists to get it right . And it 's not like we knew it was a classic record that would be forever in the canon of pop music when we were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ already looking as to what we were going to do next . We 've got to get songs like Scoundrel Days in there next time -- things that really show a different side of the band to what 's been shown . " So we were already kind of onto the next project by the moment the recording was finished . It took a few years but finally in the perception of A-ha changed over the years from the first outing . " The album highlights that as songwriters you often avoid pop and rock cliches with your chord progressions . Where do you think that comes from -- is it your upbringing in Norway and the music you grew up with ? Paul : " Yes , I think there 's a lot of different things . First of all , it 's before YouTube and everything , so this I remember sort of trying to figure out the guitar and then every chord you came up with you were convinced you invented it yourself . We did n't have a sense of knowing exactly what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of that -- always sort of fumbling around trying to find interesting things . It 's always where you think it 's about to go wrong , or something stretches it a little bit to the side , that 's what I gravitate towards " My parents were crazy into classical music so they would always take me to monthly concerts and opera . I remember Prokofiev and the big theme from Romeo & Juliet and stuff like that . It would really get to me . And Grieg the Norwegian guy had some amazing chords -- something about a nice selection of chords just really , really gets to me . I 'm always trying to search for that and it 's always where you think it 's about to go wrong , or something stretches it a little bit to the side , that 's what I gravitate towards . " I can sort of see that from the very earliest songs I wrote , it 's always been the same , you know ? On the last Waaktaar-Savoy album we did there was a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was 16 and it could have been written by me yesterday . It 's something I 've always had an attraction to . " Paul : " Yes , that one was actually a little bluesy then Morton really wanted to sing sort of like Bowie , Berlin-era kind of thing -- the low range thing . And so the first one we did , it was called something different , and we loved it . " It was one of our favourites early songs and I remember when the chorus was in 6/4 . When we came into the studio to record it with Tony Mansfield he sort of leaned over to me and said , ' There 's something wrong with the chorus ' . He could n't find the 6/4 on the Fairlight so we made it 4/4 to make it easier to program ! " The Fairlight obviously opened up new possibilities as a synth and sampler but there were clearly limitations too . Paul : " He was the only guy who knew how to use it and everything we 'd @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ live -- even if they were programmed it was really just doing a Linndrum and sending a cowbell into a trigger . So it was like a lo-fi version of getting into electronic sounds . " With Tony , most things had to go through the Fairlight . And we 're embracing it because it was brand new and it was exciting -- it was the first time we could sample stuff . And I would say we were sort of onboard for a good half and then the other half it was maybe missing other stuff that we had already going in the demo . " There are a lot of songs from that era that obviously did n't make the album and are represented on the album in demo form . Have you got any personal favourites from that time ? Magne : " There were a few songs that I thought would be included in the first record , like The Love Goodbye . It was one of the things where the producer was very adamant about which songs he liked , and wanted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get back to these things later -- we can get back to those songs . We never expected to be posters on bedroom walls " Tony Mansfield did n't really react much to songs like Scoundrel Days and things that had a darker flavour ; he was n't so interested at the time . So , I guess from 1986 second album Scoundrel Days onwards we sort of took the reins ourselves -- much to the label 's chagrin . You can imagine having runaway success with Take On Me , and they 're expecting you to churn out copies of that song for as long as you can . " But we were n't being strategic , we were just being reactive -- we never expected to be posters on bedroom walls . What do we do now ? We have so much music we want to get out to the world , we 've got to show more of what we 're doing . " At that point , we already had enough success that we could sort of dictate what went on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were a lot more adamant about the direction that we went in from there . " Paul : " There 's a song call Never Never that has a middle eight that turned out to be the chorus of The Sun Always Shines On TV . You can see how songs can sort of start somewhere and be chopped up and then we use a piece somewhere else . I always like to see with other bands how that works . " Driftwood was kind of cool , and with Monday Mourning I remember we spent a long time on that tuning beer bottles to do a kind of flutey sound which was a first for us . Then The Love Goodbye , I remember we had some string players that were friends of ours and I remember they played so out of tune you had to chalk mark the violins -- ' Put your finger right there ! ' . It was weird . " There 's also a Norwegian track Sa Blaser Det Pa Jorden that was one of the first songs we recorded and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and they felt like it was a totally different band -- the words made it totally different for them . " Magne : " We started in a band , writing and challenging each other when I was 12 or 13 , and Paul was 13 / 14 . And that 's all we lived for ; to write , record , play and perform songs . So obviously , there was a lot of material in the back history of our partnership that was n't forgotten but surfaced later . I think every album has had that ; ' What about this , do you remember this ? What about this song ? What if we do this one this way ? ' Then that in itself would spawn new things happening . " There 's quite a few themes and motifs and things that were revisited over the years for various albums I had n't realised that Scoundrel Days was a finished song at the time of making the first album . Magne : " Well it was a different -- it was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but with both that and Take On , the riffs had kind of survived being in three or four different songs over the years . Parts of Scoundrel Days were equally old and came from our early formative years -- there 's quite a few of those elements here and there where we would dip back into our past . There 's And Alone Is Love from 1988 third album Stay On These Roads . " There 's quite a few themes and motifs and things that were revisited over the years for various albums . They would be put into a new context and maybe be given , in some cases a new chorus , different lyrics or different melodic movements . " That middle section from Stay On These Roads came out of being squashed together with another song called Hurry Home , and that 's the way Paul and I worked in the beginning . I would have a part , he would write a part for that or he would have a part , and I would write the part for that . Sometimes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and would spawn a new song . There 's a lot to be learned from that in songwriting . You guys seemed open in the creative process and not being precious about songs ; doing what was best for the part . We were certainly much more open and sympathetic in the way we were collaborating at the time Magne : " It feels more like necessities , and maybe it has to do with ... I mean , we were certainly much more open and sympathetic in the way we were collaborating at the time . Much more in the group together and exploring ways of crystallising ideas into something . Taking two pieces of coal and rubbing them together does n't necessarily make a diamond but sometimes you have to try different things and you have to juxtapose . " Some songs are very clearly juxtaposed -- like Manhattan Skyline . That was two separate songs and we sort of welded them together . So I guess you can call it openness . I mean , we were more open people at the time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Low in its entirety a few years ago you chose to perform the demo version of Dream Myself Alive . Was that versions something you were particularly fond of ? Magne : " I think it 's harking back to what I talked about a little earlier ; this is almost like a disease with some artists , this sort of feeling that you lost a little bit of the original sentiment from the demo . So Dream Myself Alive on the album , I 've come to like it over the years , but at the time it was a radically different approach instigated by Tony Mansfield at the time . " I mean , the song 's pretty much the same , but the version is vastly different . There 's always that sense that there 's something great about the atmosphere in that demo -- maybe it 's a little sadder , or it 's a little more desperate , or it 's a little darker or whatever . So over the years we 've been afforded the luxury of releasing these demos and it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's on record , and that 's the definitive version , but for an artist very often , you have two or three different versions that all have something that you think is precious . Or not always precious , but it may show the audience who is interested the paths songs can take after being exposed to different treatment . " I do n't think any of us realised how impactful that first record was going to be You can hear the influence of your debut on what synth music and hit songs by artists such as the Weeknd with Blinding Lights and Harry Styles with As It Was . You were at the forefront of a sound . Paul : " You can definitely hear things in certain tracks ; ' Ah , that sounds familiar ' . And it 's just the way it is . " Magne : " It 's pretty crazy to sort of be continuously reminded that what you did 40 years ago has relevance for generations growing up . Our fans are fiercely loyal and whenever a song @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they always kind of point out , ' Oh , you should sue these guys . You should be credited . ' Come on guys , it 's a huge honour and it 's a huge privilege to be quoted , to be emulated , to be copied . I mean , that 's as good as it gets in pop music . " We were just making music at the time , and struggling and trying to get it right . I do n't think any of us realised how impactful that first record was going to be . We believed in it , but we did n't know that it was going to be the one statement that 99% of the listening world would equate with A-ha at the time .

North Northamptonshire Council ( NNC ) must make an important decision on the direction of plans for a housing development on green space in Desborough , more than a decade after the project was first set in motion . On Thursday , September 12 , the unitary council will decide whether it should continue with selling the land off of Rothwell Road , to the south of Desborough , to housing developers .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'rule him out of receiving support' does not involve a VP2[-ing] predicate that induces a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'receiving support' is a noun phrase following the preposition 'of', not a verb phrase in the -ing form that functions as a predicate.

Ahead of World Suicide Prevention Day , two men have paid tribute to a life-saving new service in Newcastle . Jack Moffat , 31 , and Tyrone O'Neill , 26 , were both among the first men to turn to James ' Place in Summerhill when they were at a point of mental health crisis . Jack , who works for a charity , and doctor Tyrone said despite being initially sceptical - they had found the support from the team at the charity 's base had been transformative . Jack , from Longframlington , said : " I had a pretty tough start to the year . I have a degenerative sight condition . I 've had it all my life but it 's reaching a point now where it is bridging from me having really poor eyesight to being blind . My little lad is four years old and there 's so much in my life - and his -I would like to be part of in terms of seeing it . I was thinking about all the things I would n't be able to see him do . " I would describe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . It feeds until you are a left with only negative thoughts . I knew I needed to get support before it became too much . The depression says you 're not good enough for help , that you do n't deserve it . " I got very , very lucky to find James ' Place . I was scrolling through BBC news and for whatever reason I had got to the bottom and I clicked a story about James ' Place . I do n't even think I clicked on it knowing what it was , I thought it was a football thing to do with St James ' Park .... " Prince William speaks people who have used James ' Place in Newcastle on April 30 2024 ( Image : Newcastle Chronicle ) James ' Place opened its doors to patients at the turn of the year , before Prince William arrived in April to formally launch its support services . Charitably run , James ' Place aims to save the lives of men in suicidal crisis . Clare Milford Haven and Nick Wentworth-Stanley founded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , 21 , took his own life . Men can self-refer to James ' Place , or be referred to by a health professional , and will typically receive six to eight face to face sessions with a trained therapist in a calm and peaceful environment where they feel safe , valued and respected . For Jack , he feared that his particular issues - exacerbated by his sight loss - might rule him out of receiving support at James ' Place , but this was not the case . He continued ; " The remit there is to help you from a place where you 're feeling suicidal to a place of stability . It was fantastic . I have been in and out of different forms of therapy throughout my life and I have been dismissive of therapists . " We did a lot of work in what I think is called ' reframing ' . If Newcastle won 3-0 I would come out of it saying why did n't they win 4-0 . My brain is built a bit like that - but at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " Jack explained that he struggled with the idea that his wife and son might be better off without him , but that support from a therapist who he said developed a connection with him had helped him towards a way forward . He added : " I make no bones about it , James ' Place and the people there saved my life . " Tyrone , who is now working in Leeds having moved south in recent months , shared a similar tale . He took on the Great North Run on Sunday to give back to the service which helped him in a dark time . He said : " I had been going through a bit of a rough patch in regard to personal stuff and my career . I have a history of poor mental health and it was getting to be overwhelming . " I reached out to a friend and he put me in contact with James ' Place . That was a Tuesday night - and I got a call at 9am the next day and I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a fantastic experience start to finish . " He said an initial scepticism had not lasted long . He added : " I hve been through therapy before and I was very sceptical at the start but the support I had was so useful and helpful . to me . I was the first one through the doors . It 's fantastic , I could n't say any more " Men who receive therapy at James ' Place are in suicidal crisis largely driven by life events , such as a relationship breakdown , financial problems , or bereavement . They have reached a point where they see suicide as the answer to their problems . They are experiencing intense and distressing suicidal thoughts and have often made a plan to end their life , or already made a suicide attempt . John Younger , Head of Centre at James ' Place Newcastle said : " We want to let men in the North East know that if you 've made a plan to end your life , have made a recent suicide attempt , or are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us and we can help you make a different plan . " It may seem overwhelming to reach out and tell someone what is going on , but please rest assured that many people have felt how you feel now and have come through their crisis . What you are feeling at the moment wo n't always hold this much power over your life and you can overcome these feelings with the right help . " John said those worried about others should n't be afraid to ask if they have planned to end their life - and added : " You wo n't put the idea in their head . If they say yes , you can look for help for them on our website , contact the Samaritans on 116 123 , or take them to A&E or your nearest walk-in centre .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object between the verb 'chicken' and 'out of confronting'. Additionally, the verb 'chicken out' does not fit the semantic classes of verbs that typically appear in the V1 slot of the construction, and the sentence does not yield a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

IT 'S not an Olympic or Paralympic event just yet , but passing the buck surely qualifies as a top sporting achievement right now . The most recent contenders for a gold gong are the folk mentioned in the hugely detailed report on the Grenfell debacle . Many people and organisations named , but gey few sufficiently shamed to own up to their role in that tragic night . One cladding firm was still insisting its material was safe and legal at the end of the week when it was palpably neither . As a former firefighter bitterly noted , they might as well have stuck firelighters around the building . Let 's hope when , if ever , the polis get around to charging those responsible with corporate manslaughter or criminal negligence or both , they finger the collar of whoever authorised the use of a highly inflammable material by way of " protection " for the building . A building which was only being renovated , allegedly , because other locals deemed it unsightly . People keep saying that the judicial @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but nobody seems to be asking why . Now they 're talking about 2026/27 which , in the case of the latter date , would be a whole decade from what the inquiry chair called 72 entirely avoidable deaths . An outrageous and " entirely avoidable " time lapse in my book . Which brings us to the endless Operation Branchform investigation . The buck , in this instance , seems to be residing with the Crown Office and Prosecution Service , none of which explains why an operation which began three years ago only got lobbed to these desks last month . Of course , it 's a political hot potato . But all the more reason not to delay while the Scottish elections are coming along like a runaway train . But delay is the name of the buck-passing game .

And , but for the tenacity of a largely one-man campaign , that 's how it might have remained . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the same chancers who tried to silence him . Meanwhile , nobody from either the then PO hierarchy or the software company involved has so much as fetched up in a police office let alone behind bars . They are joined in disgrace by everyone who dodged any blame for the importing of infected blood . You might suppose that , given these supplies came from the US prisons , somebody , somewhere might have thought to check . Passing the buck is what makes the political world go round . The art has been perfected in Scotland where blaming Westminster for all and every ill is a national pastime . ( Sometimes justifiably . ) What about thinking why we endlessly moan about the injustice of it all , but do n't get off our knees long enough to think through a strategy which is n't doomed to failure ? What about blaming the fact of a flawed Union masquerading as a partnership and from which , as a nation , we 've serially lacked the guts to get out from under a coercive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ catchee monkey stuff is beyond tedious . Sure , we need to bring along the doubters and the fearful , but you do that with facts-based campaigning . We also pass the buck when pretending you can tackle poverty incrementally . The Child Payment scheme showed us what we can do when we think a bit bigger . Baby steps will never hack it . How many times have you heard one party or another saying they 're the guys who are finally going to crack the anomaly of tax evasion and avoidance ? Yet there are literally millions stashed away in overseas accounts devised by the kind of sharp-elbowed lawyers only the very wealthy can afford . The kind of lawyers who know all about fancy trust funds and fiscal regimes where it makes sense to have your capital taxed rather than your income . Instead , successive governments chicken out of confronting the very people who are likely to give them a pre-election bung which can be filed under substantial . The clich ? trotted out when yet another chief executive pockets a salary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pay top dollar to attract top talent . When did naked greed become a prerequisite of ability ? Why does a FTSE boss need to get more than 100 times the reward of an average worker to prove his ( usually his ) worth ? Somebody much more arithmetically gifted than me worked out that the top bosses get an average of around ? 1170 an hour . Or , put another way , between three and four times as much per hour as a one-off winter heating allowance . ( Image : PA ) Anas Sarwar ( above ) , the newly crowned MSP of the Year courtesy of Holyrood magazine , promised that under a Labour administration , we could kiss austerity goodbye . Unfortunately he misread the lips of the new Chancellor of the Exchequer . It seems we think it 's somehow preferable to go after the little people ; people who work at least two jobs but still ca n't manage to feed and clothe and heat their families . We have an army of people tasked with rooting out so-called @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the loot which never makes it into the treasury pot . It was Leona Helmsley , the billionaire real estate magnate , who famously opined : " We do n't pay taxes . Only the little people pay taxes . " A certain Donald Trump proved an able student of that tax-dodging school . Among many revelations about his legendary habit of reneging on payment was the revelation that he had paid no federal taxes at all in 11 of the past 20 years . According to its assorted Cabinet leaders , the new UK administration is devoted to making " tough choices " to get the economy back on its feet . Fixing the foundations , it calls it . Yet these foundations will always remain shoogly while we think it acceptable to let the rich get fabulously wealthy , while the poor bloody infantry pay the cost . The former Tory MP Matthew Parris and the late Scottish campaigner Kay Carmichael both took a timeout from their own real lives to understand what it might be like to live on the meagre incomes of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spent three months in Glasgow 's Lilybank . Both had the advantage of returning to comparatively comfortable lives at the end of their experiment but had little else in common .

( In fairness , he did write constantly about what an awful PM Boris Johnson would be . ) How you long for a politician who will tell it like it is , regardless of any perceived damage to their career . Yet whether it 's arms for Israel or Ukraine or , for that matter , any issue even slightly contentious , they are schooled from parliamentary birth not to say anything which might find them in the Daily Mail 's daily hall of infamy .

During the presidential debate on Tuesday , Donald Trump appeared to defend his decades-old calls for the reinstatement of the death penalty after five Black and Latino teenagers known as the Central Park Five were wrongfully convicted of rape in New York . When moderators asked the former president and Kamala Harris to speak on the topic of race in America , Trump struggled to account for his previous remarks questioning Harris 's racial identity -- and to deal with his fraught history on the subject . " I do n't care what she is . I do n't care , " Trump said . " You make a big deal out of something , I could n't care less , whatever she wants to be is OK with me . " In her response , Harris called it " a tragedy that we have someone who wants to be president who has consistently , over the course of his career , attempted to use race to divide the American people " , and reminded viewers that Trump had called for the reinstatement of the death penalty after five young men of color were wrongfully @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was referring to an ad that Trump purchased in the New York Times in the wake of a brutal assault on a woman in Central Park , calling on the state of New York to " Bring Back the Death Penalty " .

Then , in 2002 , a convicted serial rapist named Matias Reyes confessed from prison to the crime , and a DNA test confirmed that he had been the perpetrator . Still , on the debate stage more than two decades after the exoneration of the teenagers , Trump dug in . " They pled guilty , " said Trump , who also claimed that Mike Bloomberg , the former New York mayor , " agreed " with him on the topic . " They killed a person , ultimately , " said Trump .

The sentence 'You make a big deal out of something.' does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks a VP2[-ing] predicate and does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'out of' as a complex preposition followed by an NP 'something', similar to the examples in (7a) and (7b) which are not instances of the construction.

A sharp rift in Trump world exploded into open view after the debate as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tore into Trump confidante Laura Loomer for an ' extremely racist posting ' and ripped her ' hateful tone . ' The full-on attack from MAGA-loyalist Greene came after Trump advisor Loomer traveled with Trump on his plane to the debate in Philadelphia where Trump forwarded a conspiracy theory about migrants eating pets that had some prognosticators saying the performance did grievous harm to his campaign . Loomer , who has put forward a raft of conspiracy theories , has also made September 11th ' truther ' posts , also accompanied Trump to Ground Zero Tuesday for the 9/11 commemorations . The Georgia lawmaker reposted a statement on X by Loomer stating that if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the election , ' the White House will smell like curry & White House speeches will be facilitated via a call center and the American people will only be able to convey their feedback through a customer satisfaction survey at the end of the call that nobody will understand . ' That post came from September 8 . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ does not represent who we are as Republicans or MAGA . This does not represent President Trump . This type of behavior should not be tolerated ever . Loomer brushed off the attack on Harris 's Indian heritage , saying she was joking . Trump himself said he was fine with Harris 's racial identity after being asked in the debate about his past comment saying she ' turned ' black . ' I do n't care what she is . I do n't care . You make a big deal out of something . I could n't care less . Whatever she wants to be is okay with me , ' Trump said about Harris in the debate . Loomer has also called herself a ' proud Islamophobe ' and who is ' pro-white nationalism . ' Trump backed her failed 2020 run for Congress . The attack from Greene , who is herself a lightning rod in the Republican House , comes after several conservative commentators including Brit Hume on Fox News Channel said Harris won the debate and said Trump ' rose to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Green uncorked still more attacks at the Capitol on Thursday . ' I have concerns about her rhetoric and her hateful tone . To me , many of the comments that she makes and how she attacks Republicans like me , many other Republicans that are strong supporters of President Trump , I think they 're a huge problem , and that does n't represent MAGA as a whole , ' she told DailyMail.com and a group of reporters amid the ongoing fallout . ' I typically try to ignore her post , but someone had sent me that post about Kamala Harris , and it bothered me so much . And you know , my personality , everyone knows I 'm outspoken , and I just felt like it was time to call it out . I think it 's wrong . We 're not a party of identity politics . We 're a party for all Americans , ' the lawmaker said . Loomer , who traveled with Donald Trump to the debate and on Sept. 11th , continued to post Wednesday about the pet eating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ called for going after Harris on inflation and the border , ' not attacking them because they may not have children and they love their pets , and I do n't want to have anything to do with that . ' That appeared to be a reference both the pet-eating conspiracy Trump forwarded and running mate JD Vance 's past remark about ' childless cat ladies . ' Loomer accused Greene of infidelity and referenced a bombshell story by DailyMail.com ' While you were busy having sexual affairs , cheating on your husband and getting divorced , and propping up @SpeakerMcCarthy and engaging in insider trading in Congress @MTG , I broke many of the stories regarding the weaponized lawfare against President Trump . ' ' I have done all of the heavy lifting while you have been writing books and attacking Trump 's closest Allies in an effort to elevate yourself , ' she wrote . She continued tweeting about the rift through the day Thursday . ' I stand by everything I have said . I will not be deleting any tweets . ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about pet eating at the debate . ' They 're eating the dogs . They 're eating the cats . Time to send them back , ' she posted . Axios reported that Loomer was ' egging ' Trump on en route to the debate , even as advisors have counselled him to hammer Harris on the economy and try to tie her to President Biden . Greene herself has been a lightning rod , calling January 6 defendants housed at a D.C. jail ' political prisoners . ' |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'the council' is the NP subject, 'could back' is the V1, 'selling the land to Bellway' is the VP2[-ing] predicate, and it implies a prevention interpretation (the council prevents the sale from happening). The NP object is implied as 'the land' or 'Bellway', functioning as a causee. This fits the transitive out of -ing construction criteria.

North Northamptonshire councillors voted to protect green space to the south of Desborough and terminate a contract signed over three years ago promising the land to a housing developer . Today ( Thursday , September 12 ) , the unitary council decided to put a stop to plans to sell its green space , next to Rothwell Road , to make way for hundreds of homes . The land , which used to house the Hawthorns leisure centre before it was demolished , was first identified for a residential development in 2014 . It received outline planning approval in 2017 and Bellway Homes entered a conditional contract to purchase the land and build the homes in 2021 . North Northamptonshire Council ( NNC ) were presented with the option to continue with the proposed sale or back out of it after it was revealed that part of the land could be classed as ' public open space ' and therefore the authority could be found in breach as it did n't advertise the development to the public properly . Nine representations were made to the authority asking them to protect the land and keep @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Protect the Ise Valley , which has followed the application from the start , also strongly objected to selling the land to Bellway Homes . Reserved matters plan for the 255 homes . The land is in joint possession of NNC and other owners . ( Image : Bellway Homes ) Cllr Harriet Pentland , executive member for climate and green environment , said : " I do have concerns about the loss of green space which clearly has historical value for the community . " Clearly , as a council we really want to be doing right in terms of looking after the environment and our green spaces and I do have difficulty with what 's being proposed in light of that loss there . " The executive was given a choice of four possible paths to pursue regarding the green space : A. ' Do nothing ' - the existing disposal contract would remain in place , but without the open space issue being resolved the planning application would be unlikely to proceed . B. ' Terminate the Conditional Contract and seek @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of selling the land to Bellway with no penalty and try to find another bidder . C. ' Terminate the Conditional Contract and consider alternative options for the site ' - the council could back out of selling the land to Bellway with no penalty and consider keeping the land itself . This could include putting forward a different scheme that enhances the open space . D. ' Re-negotiate the Conditional Contract to Extend the longstop date ' - the council could continue with the sale to Bellway as the consultation would remove any statutory open space protection breaches . The controversial plans for the housing development threatened green space to the south of Desborough , running adjacent to the River Ise . ( Image : Google Maps ) NNC planning officers made a recommendation for councillors to accept option D as they said the " overall public benefit " from the housing scheme would outweigh the open space objections . This would also provide the council with a capital receipt of ? 2.5m for the land , secure section 106 funding totalling ? 2m and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cllr David Howes , who is a ward member for Desborough and also sits on the executive panel , said : " From my point of view there 's been significant time passed now and I think we live in a different world than when this was given outline consent . " The town is actually already accepting large amounts of development . This is not simple nimbyism of not wanting to add additional housing . " If you live at the south of Desborough this is the last bit of open space . This , for me , is this council 's and this executive 's opportunity to support residents . " I think it sends a clear message that actually this council will put above and beyond two and a half million quid in capital receipts will put residents first and will put the future of that town first when we can . " The executive panel went against their officer 's recommendation and voted unanimously to endorse option C to terminate the contract and consider alternative options for the site . As @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bring forward a different scheme , but according to the NNC report it is likely that the whole development will no longer be viable .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, 'sat out of training' involves 'sat out' as a phrasal verb followed by a prepositional phrase 'of training', which does not introduce a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object between the verb and 'out of', and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Cannon is available for the first time for Saturday 's trip to Oxford United ( 12.30pm ) after signing on loan from Leicester for the season .

He has n't played loads of minutes . His last minutes were when he was on tour in Germany but he 's looked really sharp , super sharp . When he 's got opportunities in the training sessions whether we 've played 11 v 11s or even small-sided games he 's shown the ability he 's got in front of goal . When he hits it , it stays hit .

We have to get players who are hungry , who have got a point to prove , who can play with some energy and some enthusiasm and want to get to the top , not who have been at the top . That 's what I would love to recruit and that 's what I feel that we 've done . " Tom has come out of Everton , gone to Leicester , played a part in winning promotion there , knew his path was going to be blocked to play in the Premier League this season but his aspirations are still to play at the very top .

Andrew Moran sat out of training on Thursday but is hoping he will be fine to be involved . Eight players have been missing on international duty over the last fortnight but everything has settled down after the churn of the transfer window and Schumacher has enjoyed getting to work with his coaching team .

The Grand Tour 's last ever episode , One For The Road , is now available to watch on Prime Video , and in line with the release of the episode , Jeremy Clarkson has reflected on his journey on television -- but thinks shows like The Grand Tour or Top Gear would n't get made today . Advertisement The presenter and columnist for The Sun said : " It would n't get commissioned now in a million years . Monkey tennis would be more likely to be commissioned than this , I think . " He went on : " It would be so difficult -- three middle-aged , middle-class guys , driving cars around in other countries , I think they 'd probably say no . " Clarkson added : " Fortunately , our Top Gear grew out of something else . I started in 2002 , doing originally just with Hammond , and then May came along in the second season of the series . " Jeremy Clarkson and James May in The Grand Tour : One For The Road . Lisa Birch/Prime Video Clarkson 's comments come just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Prime Video , marking an end to 22 years of collaboration between Clarkson , James May and Richard Hammond . Of course , the trio worked together for years on BBC 's Top Gear before jumping over to Prime Video for the show 's spiritual successor . This last hurrah sees the three men go to Zimbabwe , where they will complete " a stunning road trip through beautiful and sometimes challenging landscapes leading to an emotional ending on a strangely familiar island " . A trailer for the episode was revealed earlier this month , giving fans an insight into the emotional farewell to come , but it seems as though there could be a future for The Grand Tour , just with different presenters . Hammond had previously said that the series will continue with fresh faces , but did not have any concrete details about any future plans . Sign up to receive the latest and greatest from the world of entertainment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said : " The premise of the original Botswana film was : why , when you leave London and move to Surrey , do you always buy yourself a 4x4 ? You do n't need one . " To prove this , we decided to drive three perfectly ordinary cars across Botswana . " He continued : " I 've always liked the premise that cars are much tougher than you think they are . They can take so much punishment ; people do n't believe how much their car can take before it expires . " So , we did a similar thing this time : the three that we took to Zimbabwe were , on the face of it , ridiculous , but as you can see in the film , they survive . The concept was just driving cars we liked . " |

There 's lots to enjoy this weekend , too -- so much so that we had a hard time deciding what seven new movies and TV series to include in this edition 's round-up . We think we 've done a good job of catering to all kinds of viewers , though , so read on to see what 's worth watching right now . Emily in Paris returned to Netflix in August with the first part of its long-awaited fourth season , and it saw American marketing executive Emily Cooper ( Lily Collins ) trying to balance her complicated personal and professional life at a marketing agency in Paris . Now , she 's saying ' au revoir ! ' to the City of Love to swap the titular city for Rome in Emily in Paris season 4 part 2 . While it 's not one of the best Netflix shows , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lost-in-translation moments for Emily in a different setting , as well as more drama when another new love interest comes on the scene in the form of an Italian heartthrob -- watch out , Gabriel ! It 's been nearly 25 years -- yes , I was as shocked as you are when I found that out -- since the first Lego Star Wars set was released . It 's fitting , then , that the Danish toy manufacturer and Lucasfilm 's legendary sci-fi franchise have teamed up again to deliver another family-friendly , Lego-based adventure to enjoy in that famous galaxy far , far away .

Long story short : activating this object completely alters the Star Wars timeline as we know it . Cue Sig embarking on a galaxy-spanning adventure where the good guys are bad , the bad guys are good , and the galaxy needs to be reassembled from the ground up . Strap in because this is a Max road trip like no other . I 've been wanting to re-watch Civil War ever since I first saw it in the cinemas and , while those in the UK and Australia can rent or buy it , the US is finally able to stream it on Max .

From the moment we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you know you 'll want to see her story out until the end . Indeed , in one of September 's many new Max movies , she begrudgingly agrees to take a budding photojournalist on a road trip to DC to try to capture a group of rebels planning to storm the White House ( yes , this does hit close to home ) . It 's a story of succession and an unbiased view of the polarising political landscape in America that opens and closes with a bang , but its best part are the photographs throughout . The black and white stills shot on the best camera for pros , the Sony a7RV , are phenomenal and still haunt me . The DJI Ronin 4D was also used to give it an incredibly raw look and feel that 's testament to the cinematography skills of the extremely talented Rob Hardy .

Reasoning
×
The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'Villa manager Emery' is the NP subject, 'did n't completely rule' is the V1, 'Bailey' is the NP object, and 'making the squad' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also gives rise to a prevention interpretation, as the action of ruling out prevents Bailey from making the squad. The verb 'rule out' can be classified under the means of exerting force or pressure, fitting one of the categories of verbs that appear in the V1 slot of the construction. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Jeremy Clarkson does n't think a show like ' Top Gear ' would get commissioned these days . The 64-year-old broadcaster - who fronted the BBC motoring show from 2002 to 2015 before launching a similar series , ' The Grand Tour ' , on Prime Video in 2016 - does n't believe that he and co-hosts Jamey May and Richard Hammond would have the same appeal to executives now and feels lucky that they have enjoyed the run for as long as they have . He reflected to The Sun newspaper : " It would n't get commissioned now in a million years . Monkey tennis would be more likely to be commissioned than this , I think . " " It would be so difficult - three middle-aged , middle-class guys , driving cars around in other countries , I think they 'd probably say no .

" But you could n't get it commissioned from the get-go now . " The trio are set to end ' The Grand Tour ' with new special ' One For The Road ' but if the show is to continue without them , Jeremy has urged producers to hire new faces with a true passion for cars and commitment to the programme . He said : " My advice to Amazon would be - and I 've given this to them already - for heaven 's sake , do not get well known people who ' like ' cars . " " Because when you do that show it has to be your life . No , you ca n't open supermarkets . " No , you ca n't appear on another show .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'made a career out of writing about her' involves an NP ('a career') as a complement of the complex preposition 'out of', and 'writing' modifies the following head noun 'about her'. This does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, nor does it involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

' I was quite out of control when I was a kid ' : Davina McCall wears dress by **31;47;TOOLONG : Andrew Woffinden/The Observer When Davina McCall was trying to get into telly , she auditioned for a presenting job on The Word , and they sent her into a studio to interview a then unknown boyband called Take That . It was the early 90s and we were going through " a phase of ' mean telly ' , " she says today . Presenters were expected to sneer at pop stars with an ironic detachment that did n't come naturally to McCall . " The producers told me to take the piss out of them . They said , ' I want you to go in there and be a bit edgy . ' But I could n't do it ! " She returned to her day job as a booker for male models and her night job as a club hostess , bemoaning her " unfashionable " niceness . " But what 's quite funny is , whenever I bump into Robbie or Gary these days , they all remember . They 'd been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ remembered me , the one who 'd been kind . Which is , well , quite funny , is n't it ? " Walking through a member 's club inside the former BBC Television Centre with McCall feels like I 'm accompanying the actual sun . Staff , strangers , other celebrities , it 's wild : everybody 's face lights up as we approach , everybody greets her with an outrageous smile , and a compliment , and continues somehow brighter . We find a sofa by a long window . She props a cushion on her lap " so that you do n't have to look at my pants , " and tells me , merrily , the story of her life , a life studded with abandonment , addiction and the relentless pursuit of joy . Today she is one of the most famous TV personalities in the UK . Last year she was presented with an MBE for services to broadcasting . For a long time she was best known as the beating heart of Big Brother and now she presents hit shows , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with estranged relatives ) and is a judge on the mad and brilliant The Masked Singer . " The thread between them is they 're all about making people happy ! " But since her documentaries and award-winning book , Menopausing , she will no doubt be remembered for her new role as a guru of midlife , at 56 . " I have to admit , " she grins , " it 's a mistake . In fact , most of my career has been stuff I have n't really meant to do . " McCall got her job in the nightclubs because , as a failed pop singer , she knew a lot about music and because , as a model booker , they thought she 'd bring beautiful people . She got her first job with MTV hosting celebrities because she was so much fun at the clubs . She pestered MTV for work for three years after that , at the same time getting deeper and deeper into drugs -- first cocaine ( she took her first line with her mother ) and then , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ best friend , Sarah , locked her in the car and said she had to stop . " You 're the topic of conversation at every dinner party , " Sarah said . McCall choked . The next evening , she went to a Narcotics Anonymous meeting where they taught her how to heal and then how to live . She was 24 , six months clean when she finally had the MTV audition she 'd been scrabbling for , and got the job . Three years later , in her first flush of fame , she was interviewed for a newspaper . " I divulged a lot more than I 'd wanted to without understanding how it might be portrayed . I told them all about my drug taking . I was n't quite prepared for the public reaction . But again , it was a bit of a Sliding Doors moment because , actually , lots of people said thank you . And I was like , what ? " Something clicked . Though the experience had been painful and horribly exposing , she saw the impact her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ presenting Big Brother and thrived there for 10 years in the role of an enthusiastic mother bear , hugging contestants tightly as they emerged into their new realities . But the job came with a new kind of fame . " I used to go round every roundabout twice to see who was following me . " The tabloids nipped at her . She had a son and two daughters with her then-husband Matthew Robertson , and she worried for their safety . " The papers have taken me down and lifted me up . I 've had everything thrown at me . Like , I was a bit frightened that my career was over after the chatshow thing . " This was 2006 , a chatshow called Davina , a programme that helped BBC1 record its worst ever peak-time ratings and a project that McCall said was " the worst mistake of my life " . " It was quite intense , because they were saying , ' Her career 's finished . ' And I thought , ' Oh , please do n't let it be finished @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she bumped into one of the reporters who 'd made a career out of writing about her and he casually apologised . " He went , ' Well , you 're all right now are n't you ? ' " She looks a little stunned . " In the documentary about Jade Goody , they said the same thing . They mocked her until they saw the public were on her side , then they were like , ' OK , time to change it up ! ' That 's when I saw it 's just a game . " And as time passed she realised , " I need the papers . Especially if I want to correct a story . It happened recently when people were saying we 're over-medicalising menopause . I tried , using the nicest words possible , to say that the women who really struggle with menopause would disagree with you . But to do that , " she looks up at me , " I need the papers not to hate me . " McCall was 44 when she first started @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Her first feeling was an unfamiliar shame . " I did n't want to get old , " she says , in an embarrassed whisper . " But I see it so differently now . It 's like a gift . " Her grandmother used to call menopause " the change " , " which I love , because it 's where you transition from one era of your life to the next . Part of my menopausal journey was that I wanted to reframe the way society viewed menopausal women . " In her first documentary about menopause , McCall spoke to women and medical experts , trying to dispel myths and eradicate stigma . After it aired , doctors were " inundated " with requests about HRT , and private healthcare firm Bupa reported a threefold rise for its menopause service . When McCall started learning about menopause , her first thought was , " Holy shit , how can I have got to this stage and no one 's told me this stuff ? " Her second was , " So , I 've got to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , somebody asked her what she did . " And on the spur of the moment I just changed my job title to ' amplifier ' . I thought , Of course , this is what I do . I take other people 's great ideas and amplify them . " Another documentary and bestselling book later , she says , " I live and breathe the menopause . " Now she 's expanding her gaze to look at midlife through a wider lens . She 's starting a podcast on Steven Bartlett 's platform about navigating your 40s and 50s , looking at things like money , spirituality , forgiveness , guilt , health , longevity and career . " What 's interesting is that a lot of men at 50 go into crisis . They find it harder going into the latter stages of life than women do , because of the expectation of having to achieve something . I think that 's why the suicide rate is so high for men . Whereas women go through this awful bit in the middle , but with a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Oh , what could I do next ? ' It 's amazing . " It 's funny , even when discussing suicide her tone is bright and her enthusiasm pointed . " You do not want to be in a place where you are like , ' meh ' , in midlife . That is a dangerous place to be . " Why ? " Meh is inaction . It 's no purpose . That 's when you get depressed . " Has she ever felt meh ? " No ! Is that bad ? " She thinks for a second . " At 50 , I did have a year of , ' God , what am I doing ? Who am I ? Where am I going ? ' " This was six years ago -- she was going through a divorce , yet to start a relationship with her current partner ( and then-hairdresser ) , Michael Douglas . " I was in France , on a morning run , and I realised it was seven years since my sister died . They say that at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " And what did she do ? " I do what I do , which is : I throw everything at it . " She called her therapist , she called her friends , she called a business mentor , she pulled herself through it , out of " meh " , towards , maybe , " yeah " ? This is how McCall approaches life , as if it 's a series of fascinating escape rooms , each one requiring education , enthusiasm and positivity . " Lots of people get really annoyed with self-help stuff . I fucking love it . I might read something on Instagram that will change my fucking life ! Makes my kids hate me , though , because I send them relentless amounts of self-help memes . " What does she remember seeing that changed her life ? " I was in my early 40s , " she says , dead serious now . " A black and white image of a little girl , jumping in a puddle , in her pants , in the rain . She looks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ She 's still in there somewhere . Why do n't you go get her ? ' " She looks suddenly teary . " I was like , fuck . I had turned into such an old person -- a responsible and sensible mum . I was just beginning to hit perimenopause and starting to lose a bit of joy . I was flatlining . " The meme pulled her out . " It lit a pilot light in my tummy . So that 's what I mean by self-help . It will talk to you . " Recently , on Instagram , she shared a video with the caption , " I 'll probably regret posting this . " It was a response to online comments that McCall was " too skinny " . " I was absolutely furious . I was n't hurt or upset . What made me angry was , this is the kind of stuff that could make someone want to go and change their face . " She pauses . " You know , I have considered that and I do n't judge anybody @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like me any more . " McCall believes she manifested her midlife dating series , My Mum , Your Dad . This is the glorious show in which grownup children of single parents take them to a big house in the countryside and encourage them to fall in love with each other . When she had the idea , already deep into her own midlife love affair , she called the commissioner of ITV directly and pitched it , hard . After a first series that was equal parts poignant and hilarious , the second series airs this month . Critics have drawn comparisons to Love Island . " But think about that Love Island age group . They do n't have any baggage . It 's so simple for them . " Here , the new couples are in their 50s and navigating grief , parental responsibility , trust issues . The stakes are infinitely higher . Did she find it difficult starting a new relationship in her 50s ? " I think a lot of the problems with people that meet then for the first time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 20 years , and because we were hairdresser and client , we 'd already gone deep . " Still , filming this series ( in the first , one of the single men asked , on camera , if a date with Davina was " off the table " ) she found herself jealous . " Halfway through the retreat , I thought , ' Fuck me , I 'd pay to come here if I was single . ' They were getting really good workshops every day . About self-acceptance , about forgiveness , about letting go . All useful life tools if you want to try to foster a healthy relationship later in life , which I think is really fucking hard if ... " If what ? " If you 've been damaged . " When McCall was three , her mother dropped her off at her paternal grandparents ' house in Surrey . Nobody explained that this would be the start of her new life . She stayed in regular contact with her father after that , but only saw her French mother , Florence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I think I was quite out of control when I was a kid , " she says . Her mother was , she says , flamboyant and glamorous , but unsuited to motherhood . McCall remembers trailing behind her as she flashed passersby , naked beneath her coat . They first took drugs together when McCall was 12 . " I can now , in hindsight , appreciate that she was a pretty fucking exciting person , " she pauses . " She just was n't a brilliant mother . " McCall found her life split in half . " I was two completely different people and I knew they could never meet -- I could n't tell my granny what happened in Paris , because she might not let me go back . " After a period of estrangement she reconciled with her mother just before her wedding to Robertson . But soon after , Florence sold a story to the tabloids about McCall going to a Narcotics Anonymous meeting , implying she was about to relapse , and then sold photos of their honeymoon . They never @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ McCall was at a party and " everybody was dancing and it made me think of my mum . So I said to Michael , you would have loved her . And he said , I 've met her . He went , ' She 's in here ' , and he put his hand on my heart . I was like , fuck . It was like I 'd been denying my mum 's existence in me for all those years . " She swallows . " He said , all the bits that I like about you , your naughty bits , your party bits , I feel like that 's your mum . " She holds her chest , remembering . Soon after , she went to see her mother 's third husband Tynn , to say she was ready , finally , to hear about " her good side " . Returning home , she put a picture of her mum on their " table of death " , " Which sounds like a very sad thing , but it 's actually lovely . In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ every time we get out of the shower , we can see the people we 've loved and lost smiling at us . And she 's on there now , rolling a joint , wearing a belt buckle that says , ' I 'm the boss ' . " For McCall 's birthday last year , Michael found her the same belt buckle -- a few weeks ago she wore it to collect her first French passport . " One thing Tynn talked to me about was the fact my mum had a full hysterectomy at 28 . I asked if she ever took HRT , and he was like , no , they just did n't do that . " A kind of understanding dawned . " My mum was already into pills and drinking . This must have supersized her addiction to try to cope with it . And I thought , how is it that I 've worked in this field so long and it 's only now I 've thought about that ? " There 's a sense of fate to this , a little @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " It feels a bit weird doing a book about giving birth now , when my oldest kid is 22 . But after menopause , I thought , ' What is the next thing that I want to talk about ? ' It 's the other area where women do n't know all the facts and can be very easily led . " This is also another area of women 's life that is shrouded in politics , and yet , in that merry TV presenter way , McCall maintains a doggedly apolitical stance . " Yes , I have stayed purposefully apolitical in public . But it 's so that I can lobby successfully . I want to be able to talk to everybody . " She 's clearly gearing up to do for birth what she 's done for menopause , ripping away taboos and forcing women 's healthcare again into the headlines . If there 's one job she envies , she says , it 's Emma Willis 's Sky show , where she helps deliver babies . " It 's a privilege to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be at someone 's death . And I feel like I 'm quite good at it . " McCall was there for both the death of her sister , Caroline , who died of cancer at 50 in 2012 , and her father , Andrew , who died in 2022 . The key to helping people in death , she tells me , is to pinpoint who they were in life . For both her sister and father , she spent hours holding their hands and reassuring them that everyone they loved was going to be fine , that they could let go . " And I spend a lot of my time now telling the people I love what a fucking great life I 've had . So that if something were to happen to me suddenly , they 'd know -- I 've loved my life . " This is a midlife thing too , a new focus on the fact of an ending . " It does n't frighten me . " So when someone 's there at the end , squeezing her hand , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Thank you ? " she hopes , with a sparkling grin . " Or -- they might be squeezing my hand and going , ' Davina , now will you shut the fuck up ? ' " A woman killed in a triple murder in Luton " will be terribly missed " , a friend has told Sky News . Juliana Prosper , 48 , was found dead with Kyle Prosper , 16 , and Giselle Prosper , 13 , in a flat at around 5.30am on Friday . Police arrested Nicholas Prosper , 18 , and charged him with three counts of murder , as well as a number of firearms offences . Sunday 's Azerbaijan Grand Prix ended with a brilliant win for McLaren 's Oscar Piastri , who first boldly overtook and then held off Charles Leclerc to secure a second victory of 2024 . His team-mate Lando Norris fought back from 15th superbly to finish fourth , even ahead of title rival Max Verstappen who started nine places ahead of him . |

Not every restaurant in Wales has a substantial and noticeable shop front on a busy street in the centre of a town , located as close to substantial footfall as possible - some are hidden away in a quiet corner but attract diners due to their mesmerising location . On a recent visit to Laugharne I ate at a restaurant that was as unique as the view of its incredible location , perched high above the Taf estuary offering the most mesmerising vista . It 's a restaurant that is not in full view , not on a high street , and not even sign-posted on the main road that ambles through this pretty township . That 's because this restaurant is a slice of something much bigger and more intriguing that just its stand alone function - Milk Wood Bar & Kitchen is the restaurant found within the main building at Dylan Coastal Resort , a luxury lodge site nestled into a hillside above the estuary and Dylan Thomas ' famous boathouse . The restaurant is part of a luxury lodge resort ( Image : Jo Ridout , Media Wales ) The location @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ maybe one of its challenges - the restaurant is on the first floor of the main resort building called Milk Wood House where , on the ground floor , you will discover the amazing spa , swimming pool , hydro pool and gym that people staying at the resort in one of the lodges can use for free , as well as book a treatment in one of the pamper rooms . It 's a tricky aspect of the eatery to maybe explain - it 's not exclusive but the resort in which it sits is - but if you are heading for the Laugharne area then is it worth navigating the pretty little lane to the resort and eating out at its restaurant . Milk Wood House is a substantial building that has been wisely designed , cloaked in massive sheets of glass to ensure maximum connection to the truly mesmerising and sweeping view of the estuary that extends for miles to Gower peninsula and Worm 's Head . The location , affording the building and the restaurant on the first floor such a spectacular vista , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the food would be tasty enough to distract us from gazing out of the window until our grub had gone cold . Stepping inside the building you are greeted by friendly staff and an instantly relaxing scent wafting from the spa area , but it 's the sweeping stairs that are calling you to climb one flight to find Milk Wood Bar & Kitchen . Now the smell has morphed into snatches of aromas of food cooking from the kitchen , located behind the bar . Relaxed ambience ( Image : Jo Ridout , WalesOnline ) A range of seating options ( Image : Jo Ridout , WalesOnline ) One end of this open-plan level is dedicated to the bar , with comfy armchairs inside and sliding glass doors leading to a terrace with patio heaters and a view of the landscape to warm the heart found outside . But the majority of the area is dedicated to the restaurant , with bouquet seating , benches and booths along the far wall and sweeping through the middle of the space joined by circular tables in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the view , next to the floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows . If you sit at a booth seat at the back of the restaurant , due to it being on a raised platform and the clever addition of a slice of mirror running along the wall reflecting the view , you are still connected to the landscape outside . The front row seats can boast the best views ( Image : Jo Ridout , WalesOnline ) We sat at a table in the middle of the restaurant as the ' front row seats ' were taken and were very happy with the location . We ordered a ' D ' cut gammon with free-range egg and chunky chips plus a Celtic Pride Dylan Burger , which comprised a Welsh beef burger , melted Welsh cheddar , bacon , onions , tomato , lettuce , burger sauce and chunky chips . The gammon cost ? 18.50 and was tasty and nicely cooked to a level of being succulent and the quality of its local sourcing was evident by its freshness - it was a standard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the burger was very impressive - falling apart somewhat and melting in the mouth , it was declared as one of the best tasted for quite some time by someone who states it is his favourite meal , so great praise indeed . It cost ? 19.00 . Main meal ( Image : Jo Ridout , WalesOnline ) The dessert menu was a mouth-watering collection of classics , we ordered the ? 8.50 raspberry cr ? me br ? l ? e with rosemary shortbread biscuit which was a perfect balance of crisp and smooth , sweet and tangy , with the rosemary shortbread a surprising but welcome added layer of flavour . The other order was a warm triple chocolate brownie with dark chocolate sauce and burnt white chocolate and deserved to be eaten slowly to enjoy every explosion of rich texture and sweetness , costing ? 8.50 . As we dined slightly later , by the time dessert came one of the ' top tables ' was free and so we enjoyed our sweet treats next to the fabulous view . The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ position for enjoying a meal at the restaurant but the evening weather , although dry , had been a bit chilly so we stayed inside . However , the next day the sun decided to appear and for breakfast we bagged ourselves a table on the terrace . When the weather is good the outside terrace is the prime spot ( Image : Jo Ridout , WalesOnline ) Incredible view in both directions ( Image : Jo Ridout , WalesOnline ) Some people might claim breakfast can be boring - only offering a range of mainly obvious dishes that you can order almost anywhere , but this is not anywhere - this was like sitting on the edge of utter bliss immersed in the most incredible of views . Plus this was n't an ordinary breakfast either - it was so epic we still talk about it now . Yes , we ordered the standard and classic full English , although called a ' Full Welsh Milk Wood Breakfast ' and an american pancake stack layered with Beechwood smoked streaky bacon & lashings of maple syrup @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ table was evident from the first mouthful . I am very fussy about bacon , I do n't like it thick , rubbery and fatty , so the crispy texture was perfect and the maple syrup brought a rich , deep flavour to the dish without making the pancakes soggy . The stack cost ? 8 and was so enjoyable I would have paid more . The ' full Welsh ' was , again , packed with taste and flavour borne out of using locally-sourced , quality ingredients well worth the ? 10.50 price tag . Throughout our meals the staff were absolutely lovely - getting the balance right between attentive and not too much interruption - the restaurant was n't full but I think even if it were the ambience is so relaxed they could have easily coped . I will be going back - especially for breakfast ( Image : Jo Ridout , Media Wales ) The menu has already changed somewhat to a winter seasonal spread and Gareth , the head chef employed in late 2023 by the resort to upgrade the restaurant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dining via a French inspired menu to the offering in the future . The interior of the restaurant is apparently due a change too , I just hope the refit and uplifted menu do n't lose the relaxed ambience and connection to the view and the menu does n't become too expensive to be prohibitive for regular attendance . That said , I will definitely return to dine at Milk Wood Bar & Kitchen and can recommend it as a place to enjoy a quiet meal or a sociable gathering of family and friends in the most special of locations . |

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

Zamir White and Alexander Mattison , the team 's two running backs , both have very different skill sets and had very different roles on Sunday . White , projected to be the better fantasy option in 2024 , performed much worse than Mattison in Week 1 . Now , questions have been raised about who will be the better fantasy option in Week 2 . Although this question will likely have to be reevaluated week-to-week , here is an analysis of both options , specifically to the Raiders ' matchup vs. the Ravens : Credit : Stephen R. Sylvanie-USA TODAY Sports White was listed as the team 's RB1 on depth charts heading into the 2024 season , and his status has not changed ahead of Week 2 . In Week 1 , he was not very effective , accumulating only 44 yards on 13 carries . Still , White has shown promise in the past when given an opportunity . In 2023 , White stepped in as the Raiders ' starter for the season 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ performed admirably . He averaged 99.3 rushing yards per game ( 4.7 yards per carry ) , caught nine passes for 60 yards , and scored one touchdown . These efforts led White to finish as the RB9 in PPR scoring during that stretch . This shows that White can shine as a true volume-heavy back . Although the Raiders have a weak offensive line , the hope amongst fantasy managers who drafted White is that he will still be skilled enough to create something out of nothing ( as he did to end off last season ) . Credit : Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images In Week 1 , Mattison was very effective . He recorded 62 total scrimmage yards ( five rushes and four receptions ) and scored one touchdown -- all that was good for 16.20 fantasy points and the overall RB18 finish . Even though Mattison only had nine touches compared to the incumbent starter White 's 15 , he saw a much larger snap percentage . Mattison @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ White was only on the field for 38% . This would suggest that , although their first game ended up with White touching the ball more , the Raiders intend to have Mattison play a larger role overall in their offense . It also helps Mattison 's case for more touches in Week 2 , as he was simply more effective than White in Week 1 . Mattison averaged more yards per carry ( 3.8 to White 's 3.4 ) , yards per reception ( 10.8 to 1.0 ) , and even scored a touchdown ( White did not ) . It is also worth noting that Mattison saw more red-zone snaps than White . Mattison is a better receiving back than White , is more versatile , and can open up more scoring opportunities for the Raiders . The reality is both running backs are quite talented and have the opportunity to explode for a huge week on any given Sunday . That said , Mattison has the more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had one of the best rush defenses in 2023 , and White struggled mightily against a mediocre Chargers front . Mattison is the superior pass catcher of the two . Since the Raiders are destined to be playing from behind in this game , Mattison may see the field even more than he ( and White ) did in Week 1 , as he is the team 's third-down back , and the Raiders will be in lots of passing situations . Who the Raiders will favor and who will be the better fantasy option is likely to change weekly ; however , in the short-term , Mattison has earned a chance for a larger opportunity against a defense that he may have a particular advantage against . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It involves an opt-out scenario regarding receiving emails, which does not involve a causee participating in an event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Meeting the data protection requirements of our consumers is at the forefront of our AI decision making so as our uses develop we will provide more information in this Privacy Notice . For more information see our AI Notice on each website footer . When you browse our websites or use our apps , we may collect technical and/or behavioural information about your use of our websites or other content online , and the device(s) you use to access the services . For example , this information may include details about how you browse our website and the devices and technology you use to browse our website . This may also include unique online identifiers such as device ID , device type , IP address and approximate location at the time of browsing . This may also include video viewing data and may link to your activity on other sites and allow us to recognise you or your device . We may use this to build a more detailed profile of you and your interests . We may also provide you with location-based services ( for example , advertising and other personalised content ) , where we collect geo-location data . Our advertising partners may receive some information about the device you are using and about what you look at and interact with . We do this for the purpose of choosing which adverts to show you , as well as to make our sites and apps work properly . It also allows us to diagnose problems with them and understand how they are used so we can make them better . Sometimes , we also apply a degree of personalisation in choosing which content to show you ( for example , by recommending articles similar to those you 've viewed previously ) . You can learn more about what we do with this information and why in the sections below . We combine the information you give to us ( for example , sign up information for newsletters and competitions ) with the information we receive when you use our websites and apps , and analyse it in order to help us to understand your preferences and interests . We then associate this with a unique identification number . This is then used to tailor the content and advertising that you see on our websites and in our apps , so it is more likely to be of interest to you . We do n't share this personalised analysis with anyone outside Reach . In particular , it is not shared with advertisers or with the third-party advertising networks that we work with other than in highly aggregated form so that your personal data can not be identified . 3.1.1 The data we collect and what we do with it The data we use for this purpose is as follows : The page you view , and associated information such as how long you spend on them . Your approximate location , to city or town level . Your email address , name and sometimes username and postcode , which we will receive when you sign up for an account on one or more of our websites or apps , when you subscribe to our newsletters or marketing , when you enter one of our competitions or when you complete one of our surveys . The newsletters and marketing you have subscribed to , the promotions and competitions you have entered and the surveys you have completed . We will analyse this information to infer interests , preferences , and demographic characteristics , and associate it with an internal identification number . For example , if our website analytics tell us that you are located in the approximate area of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and you read our online title ChronicleLive ( which is focused on local news for that area ) , and you sign up to receive an email newsletter about football from our national title The Mirror , then we could infer from that you are interested in things related to a local football club or to football generally . We then divide up our identification numbers into groups based on the inferences we draw about them . Those groups are called " audience segments " or " audiences " . So , for example , an identifier associated with Newcastle , ChronicleLive and the football newsletter could be allocated to audiences likely to be interested in football , and events near Newcastle-upon-Tyne . We then use those " audiences " to do two things : first , to help us to recommend content which is more likely to be interesting ( for instance , more articles about football ) , and second to help us to target advertisements when advertisers buy advertising space from us directly . The advertiser would never see the actual data that we use -- it remains with Reach at all times . All we would share with them would be the criteria we used to target their advert , how many times their advert was shown and how many people clicked on it ( but not who ) , so that they know how well the advert did and we know how much to charge them . 3.1.2 Our legal basis Your activity on our websites and in our apps can be managed by you using our " cookie banner " and related Consent Management Platform ( CMP ) . The vast majority are used on the basis of your consent where you provide it . Some may use our Legitimate Interest and some are Essential -- Please see our Cookie Notice for further information or the ' cog ' icon or link at the bottom of every webpage to manage your consents . When using our apps , if you want to change the settings , go to the ' My Account ' Link at the bottom of the screen which includes ' My Privacy ' and takes you to the CMP . We combine that information with the other things we know about you ( like your newsletter subscriptions ) on the basis of our legitimate interest in understanding our readership , both to serve you better and to make us more attractive to advertisers . This helps us to secure a future for news reporting and journalism in the age of social media , especially local news reporting and journalism . We keep the information about your activity on our websites and in our apps for up to up to three years since last browsing activity , with some anonymised browsing activity retained thereafter . 3.1.4 Who we share it with and why The data which we use to create the unique identifier and our " audiences " is shared with the partners who provide us with the technology powering it , most notably Upland Software and Lotame , who host core data management platforms for us . They act as our " processors " . This means that they are bound by law and contract to do only what we tell them to do with the data , to keep it safe , and not to share it with anyone else or use it for anything other than providing their service to us . 3.1.5 Whether we send it outside the country of collection Upland Software and Lotame are global businesses and so the data they host for us may be held outside of the country of collection . We have implemented the required safeguards as necessary ( for example , standard agreements and frameworks approved by the relevant authorities ) . Digital advertising helps us to fund the news articles and content published on our sites and enables us to provide some of our content for free . We and our third-party ad partners may display digital advertising on our sites that is tailored to your interests and preferences so the online adverts you see are more relevant to you . We work with third party ad networks to fill unsold advertising space on our sites and in our apps by auctioning it automatically through a process called " real time bidding " . These ad networks bid to show their ad to you when you visit our sites or use our apps . The ad networks exchange information through cookies , which allow them to recognise you when you visit any site that they work with ( not just Reach sites ) . Where we use cookies on our sites for advertising purposes , we ask for prior consent . The cookie information will be used along with other information we hold about you to display digital advertising that is more relevant to you . It is important to note , however , that where you do not provide your consent for digital advertising you will still see digital advertising on our sites , but this will not be tailored to your interests and preferences . Where you provide consent to using your data to create a profile for digital advertising we may also sell or share limited data types to our partners with whom we have a legally binding relationship for similar purposes ; typically data on the page content which you have shown an interest in and online identifiers , not direct identifiers such as your email address . Captify is one such partner . They may act as an independent controller of your data , and their privacy policy is shown here : Captify Privacy Policy 3.2.1 The data collected and how it is used On your first visit to one of our sites or apps ( and on other occasions to allow you to change your mind ) , you will be presented with a " cookie banner " . This asks you if you consent to the use of cookies and related technologies for the purposes of , amongst other things , selecting and delivering ads . If you do , then the ad networks will be able to recognise your device according to a unique identification number . We then send out a " bid request " to the advertising networks we work with . What that bid request says is , essentially , " ID number ABC123 has landed on our website , do you want to show this user an advert ? " The winner then gets to display their ad . The auction process happens automatically , in the second or so between you requesting the page and its loading and displaying . The data used by the ad networks to select the ad to show is held by them , not us , and we never see it . If we sell or share limited data to an ad partner , as described in 3.2 , it will be used for profiling and digital marketing on Reach websites and apps , and potentially other sites & apps with whom the partner has a relationship , if you have given permission for that site or app to do so . An important point to understand is that most of these ad networks will not know who you are in a " real world " sense . They will not know your name , or your email address , or your phone number ( we may know those things because you 've given them to us in other contexts , but we never share that information with them ) . We say " most " because there are two significant exceptions , which are Facebook and Google . They provide targeted advertising services based on the things they know about their users , and so if you are signed into your account with them on your device , they will be able to recognise you and associate your browsing history across sites that use their services . From time to time we may allow our clients to compare their customer database to ours using partner platforms such as InfoSum . This is called data matching and allows our partners to see if they can reach their audiences on our platforms and to understand if an advertising campaign would be effective . Generally this will be conducted at an aggregate audience level to provide insights , rather than individual level information , although your information may be used to generate these insights . For example , this could involve matching your hashed , pseudonymised email data with the same data held by our advertising clients . This then enables the advertiser to understand if you use their products and visit our sites , then to use this data to target bespoke advertising messages . Alternatively , we may allow advertising partners to build target audiences based on predefined attributes . These ' lookalike ' audiences may be similar to our partners ' existing audiences . For example , a sports brand may want to reach ' football enthusiasts ' . They could select audiences who have been identified as having an interest in these areas . To do this , we segment our audiences into groups depending on what we think they like or other behaviours . This helps them find the right audiences and we are able to show you more relevant advertising . The way we match your data could also involve working with partners such as LiveRamp Inc and Tradedesk and their group companies , acting as joint controllers . These partners use this information to create a secure online identification code for the purpose of recognising you for cross-channel advertising . This code is placed in our cookie , does not contain any of your identifiable personal data , and will not be used by them to identify you . With your consent it may be shared with our advertising partners and other third-party advertisers globally for the purpose of enabling interest-based content or targeted advertising through Reach sites . These third parties may in turn use this code to link demographic or interest-based information you have provided in your interactions with them to the pseudonymised code . Detailed information on LiveRamp 's data processing activities is available in LiveRamp 's Privacy Notice and opt-out here . Information on the Trade Desk 's use and how they work with partners can be found here EUID Privacy Notice . Alternatively to withdraw consent and object to targeted advertising based on the Trade Desk EUID activity click here . If you accept the use of cookies in our Consent Management Platform , when you submit your email address to create an account or sign-up to a newsletter or marketing we may share your email address in a hashed form with Amazon Publisher Services ( APS ) . APS then links the hashed email to a profile which they may already hold related to that address . The hashed email will be used in a secure , pseudonymised form within a cookie to flag to APS whenever you visit an APS enabled Reach website again . APS will use this to determine , in real-time , if any of their business customers want to market to a profile similar to yours . If this is the case they may initiate an advert which will appear to you on the Reach website concerned . The APS Privacy Notice can be found at APS PN . Alternatively to withdraw consent and object to targeted advertising based on APS activity click here . You can also visit www.youradchoices.org to have more information about how to manage your ad preferences . Withdrawing consent You have the right to withdraw your consent or opt-out to the processing of your personal data at any time via our Cookie Management Platform accessed via the ' cog ' icon or link at the bottom of every webpage . For example , we will only match your hashed , pseudonymised email with an advertiser in the Infosum platform , if you have consented to your data being used by our adtech provider Lotame . We will also only work with partners such as LiveRamp , as described above , if you have accepted cookies in our Consent Management Platform . Alternatively , if you would like to stop your email being used in this way please email **27;1575;TOOLONG , stating ' opt out of hashed email ' . 3.2.2 Our legal basis Where required by applicable law advertising networks undertake this activity on the basis of your consent , which we ask for on their behalf through the ' cookie banner ' which appears when you first visit our site . The ' cookie banner ' message box will reappear from time to time in case you change your mind , or when something changes ( typically every 30 days ) . Please see our Cookie Notice for further information or the ' cog ' icon or link at the bottom of every webpage to manage your consents . When using our apps , if you want to change the settings , go to the ' My Account ' Link at the bottom of the screen which includes ' My Privacy ' and takes you to the CMP . Most of our third-party advertising partners operate within an industry framework and code of practice issued by the Internet Advertising Bureau ( IAB ) called the " Transparency and Consent Framework " , which sets out the technical means for your choices to be passed through the ad networks . It also requires that members adhere to IAB policies and standards of behaviour . Advertising partners who do not work within the IAB framework are listed separately in the platform which can be viewed in our Consent Management Platform ( CMP ) -- please see our Cookie Notice for further information or click on the ' cog ' icon or link at the bottom of every webpage . In the Consent Management Platform popup go to the ' Partners ' page and scroll down - IAB partners are listed first , then you 'll see Non-IAB vendors and finally Google partners . 3.2.3 How long we keep it for We do not ourselves hold a copy of the data gathered by the advertising networks . They will each have their own retention policies which you can find in their privacy notices linked through our ' cookie banner ' -- these are often short ( between 30 and 60 days ) , because shopping interests change over time . 3.2.4 Who we share it with and why When we participate in auctions for unsold advertising space , we send bid requests to third party advertising networks . You can find the list of third-party advertising networks who we work with by clicking on the ' cog ' icon or link at the bottom of every webpage and reviewing our Consent Management Platform . 3.2.5 Whether we send it outside the country of collection The digital advertising networks are global in nature and so , while we are predominantly a UK business , this data will travel across international borders , and in particular many automated advertising transactions will be processed in the USA . Where we are the ones making the transfer ( typically , we are not ) , we have implemented the required safeguards as necessary ( for example , standard agreements and frameworks approved by the relevant authorities ) . We use the information logged by our servers and certain third-party analytics tools ( such as Google Analytics , Amplitude , Mpulse and Hotjar ) to help us to spot problems with our digital services , such as page errors or slow loading times , as well as understanding usage patterns and watching for security problems . This may include statistical and analytical data about your visits and activity on our sites , such as the pages you view , how long for , and which links are followed . This helps us to improve the way we deliver content and the products and services offered to you . We also use this data to report on our performance , provide audience insights and measurement , and to sell advertising . We may also collect information from your devices that tells us whether you are using an ad blocker . This is so that we can manage our compliance with the law and also determine if we are able to show you advertising . We may also ask you to suspend or whitelist our sites or platforms so that we can show you adverts . You can find more information below . 3.3.1 The data we collect and what we do with it We gather data for this purpose in three ways . Firstly , our servers record certain information provided by your devices when they request content , consisting mostly of technical information about your device such as language , screen size and the features and functions it supports , but also including the internet or " IP " address from which it is connecting , and the page or data requested . The data is used for system performance , content delivery and security purposes . It is saved together with the dates and times the requests occurred into files stored on our servers called " logs " or " log files " . Secondly , on your first visit to one of our sites or apps ( and every so often again after your first visit ) , you will be presented with a ' cookie banner ' asking you if you consent to the use of cookies and related technologies for our use of analytics . If you do , then several " cookies " ( small text files ) will be stored on your device containing identification numbers . Those numbers can then be read on your subsequent visits to recognise your device , and our analytics providers will use that information to provide us with various reports and metrics on how our sites are used . We also work with the analytics provider Amplitude , who collect measurement data on our behalf , as our processor . They collect this data for us , using their cookie , and only process your personal data with your consent . If you do not consent they will only provide us with anonymised data . Thirdly , Google also uses the data that it gathers as a result for other purposes , which you can read about in the Google Privacy Policy . If you wish to opt-out of the use of Google Analytics you can access and download the Opt-out browser add-on from here : GA Opt-Out . We process the personal data captured in our server log files on the basis of our legitimate interest in monitoring our systems , understanding how they are used , fixing problems with them , and for security monitoring and management purposes . We process the data for determining an adblocker , on the basis of legitimate interest . As a predominantly advertising funded business , we do rely on our ability to show you advertising to help ensure we are able to provide you with the products and services you request . We process the personal data captured by our analytics providers on the basis of your consent , which we ask for through a " cookie banner " which appears when you first visit our site . That message box will reappear from time to time in case you change your mind ( typically every thirty days ) , and on your first visit after we make a significant change . 3.3.3 How long we keep it for We keep the information in our server log files for up to 90 days , depending upon the log type and purpose . Our analytics providers will keep the information they gather from our sites and apps in line with their own privacy notices , which you can access through our ' cookie banner ' and Consent Management Platform ( see the ' cog icon ' or link at the bottom of every webpage ) . 3.3.4 Who we share it with and why We use AWS and CloudFront to help us to analyse our server log files . They act at our direction , as our " processor " . The information gathered using Amplitude or Google Analytics is held by Amplitude or Google and is made accessible to us through various dashboards and reporting tools . The following providers are key to providing additional website analytics or diagnostic capability : The technology providers we use are global businesses . The data is located in Ireland with some being routed through AWS outside of the UK and EEA .

In some jurisdictions outside of the EU/UK , and where permitted by applicable law , we may purchase/rent lists of persons who may be interested in our products and services . We may contact such persons by email . 6.1.1 The data we collect and what we do with it We collect your email address in order to send you the newsletters or marketing you subscribe to . When you sign up for newsletters from our " In Your Area " local information website , we will also collect your postcode in order to provide the correct local information .

They act as our " processors " , meaning that they are bound by law and contract to keep your data safe , and to do only what we tell them to do with it . 6.1.5 Whether we send it outside the country of collection Email administration data is hosted within the EEA . Advert management services data is processed from the UK and EEA . 6.1.6 Whether we send it abroad The data is hosted and processed within the EEA . 6.2 Tracking technologies used in our emails If you tell your email application to load images we will know when you open one of our emails . When you click on links in our emails , we will know that it was you who clicked on it . We use this information to inform the content of future newsletters or marketing ( by looking at what 's popular ) , and to understand whether you continue to be interested in receiving them . Unless you have previously objected , we will also associate that information with other things we know about you . You can learn more about that here in Targeting by Reach . 6.2.1 The data we collect and what we do with it We track engagement with our emails in two ways . Firstly , as for most email newsletters and promotions worldwide , our emails do n't attach any pictures they use to the email itself , but instead load them from a remote server on demand . By default , most email programs do n't load remote images automatically , but only when you click on the button or link in the program to " show images " ( or similar wording ) . When you do that , the images linked in the email are downloaded from our technology provider 's server so they can be displayed in your email program . If the images are downloaded , our technology provider can tell us that you opened the email . Secondly , the links in our emails to articles and other external content are personalised , such that if you click through to the content using the link in our email , we will know that it was you who clicked it ( or at least , someone reading the email we sent to you ) . This is because we use web beacons in our emails to track the success of our marketing campaigns . Our web beacons do n't store any information on your computer but , by communicating with our cookies on your computer , they can help us to understand how you engage with our emails . 6.2.2 Our legal basis We record the opening of emails on the basis of your consent . You can withdraw your consent at any time either by configuring your email client not to load images , or by unsubscribing from the relevant email . The data gathered to understand email opening and interests related to articles and links within the emails is retained for as long as you continue to engage with our emails , and for a period of up to 3 years afterwards . 6.2.4 Who we share it with and why Third party processors provide the technology platforms which we use to administer our email lists and to manage the adverts in our emails . They act as our " processors " , meaning that they are bound by law and contract to keep your data safe , and to do only what we tell them to do with it . From time to time we run competitions and prize draws which require you to provide your name and contact details . We use that information to administer the competition or prize draw and to communicate with you about it ( for example if you win a prize ) . We may also use that email address to send you occasional special offers and promotions , if you opted in to receive them . See here for more information on that and how to unsubscribe . Unless you have objected , we will associate the fact that you entered the competition with the other things we know about you , like your page views . You can learn more about that here . We may also run some competitions or prize draws for which we utilise your declared responses to build into our profile about you . When we do so , this will be communicated in the associated text , and you will be asked to either consent to this use or will be given the option to ' object ' via a tick box . 7.1 The data we collect and what we do with it When you enter a competition or prize draw we will collect the information you provide to us , such as your name , email address and answers to any questions . We will use that information to run the competition or prize draw . If you happen to win a prize , we may ask you for additional information , such as an address to send the prize to . As highlighted above , we may also retain your responses as part of a profile about you . 7.2 Our legal basis We do this on the basis that it is necessary to fulfil the contract formed with you when you enter the competition or prize draw . Use of your declared data for profiling purposes will be based either upon consent ( via tick box ) or our legitimate interest , for which you will be given the option to ' object ' . 7.3 How long we keep it for We will keep your competition entry for the duration of the competition and for up to 12 months after the closing date . Data utilised for profiling will be retained for up to 3 years . 7.4 Who we share it with and why Information about competition and prize draw entries is only shared with the service providers who provide us with the technology powering our systems and -- if you win a prize -- with the companies who supply and deliver the prize to you . The technology providers act as our " processors " , meaning that they are bound by law and contract to keep your data safe , and to do only what we tell them to do with it . 7.5 Whether we send it outside the country of collection Our online form technology provider may process your personal data outside of the UK and EEA . We have implemented safeguards to secure and limit the processing of the data , including standard agreements , and frameworks , approved by the relevant authorities . Sometimes we run surveys to help us to understand more about our readership or about public opinion generally . They can also help us better understand the underlying motivations behind the trends we are seeing , response to new content ideas and formats we are developing and how we can improve the service we currently offer . These surveys could be in the form of online surveys , polls , video projects , diary studies and discussion groups , and we record the responses ( answers ) of those who take part . If you take part , we use your answers to those surveys to produce anonymous statistics which we use to inform our editorial content and , to an extent , our advertising . For example , if a majority of survey respondents express a preference for one TV show over another , then we might write an entertainment piece based on that or factor it in when deciding which adverts appear where . We may also run some surveys for which we utilise your declared responses to build into our profile about you . When we do so , this will be communicated in the associated text , and you will be asked to either consent to this use or will be given the option to ' object ' via a tick box . Occasionally , those surveys might ask you about things which the law considers to be especially sensitive , such as your voting intentions or your religious beliefs . Where that 's the case , we 'll ask clearly for your permission first , and we 'll always provide a " prefer not to say " or similar option . We do n't use that kind of information for advertising purposes . 8.1 The data we collect and what we do with it The types of information we collect and process about you when you take part in a survey may include : Personal and contact details you have provided to us , such as your name , email address or postal address Demographic information such as date of birth , gender , work occupation , ethnicity and readership habits . Information about your use of third party products or services or from third parties who we may use to operate certain aspects of our business . We may also collect information from cookies on your devices and this includes information about your IP address , MAC address and other identifying information , information about your devices , including your location , from third party advertising networks and how you use our products and services . We will collect your answers to the survey questions and use them to compile anonymous statistics along the lines of " 35% of people preferred X over Y " . Some surveys may also ask for your email address , for example if we are offering entry into a prize draw for completing it . Go here to learn more about how we use your data for prize draws . As highlighted above , we may also retain your responses as part of a profile about you . When you have completed a survey , you may be invited to subscribe to a newsletter or to receive special offers and promotions from us . Sometimes we may operate " panels " of people who we send survey questions to periodically . If you join one of those panels then there may be additional kinds of information about you which we will receive , in which case we will provide further information to you before you sign up to the panel . 8.2 Our legal basis We collect and compile your survey answers on the basis of your consent , which we ask for in each survey . Use of your declared data for profiling purposes will be based either upon consent ( via tick box ) or our legitimate interest , for which you will be given the option to ' object ' . 8.3 How long we keep it for We retain your survey responses for however long the survey runs for , and for up to 90 days afterwards . If you participated in our research panel we may keep your data for up to a year , for the purposes of insight and tracking responses over time . The resulting statistics may be kept longer , but those are always anonymous and do n't contain your personal data . Data utilised for profiling will be retained for up to 3 years . 8.4 Who we share it with and why We typically publish the overall results of our surveys , and often share those results with the brands involved ( if any ) , but those results are always anonymous and statistical in nature ( " 50% of respondents thought X " ) and do n't contain your personal data . Actual survey responses are only shared with the service providers who provide us with the technology powering our systems . They act as our " processors " , meaning that they are bound by law and contract to keep your data safe , and to do only what we tell them to do with it . Once we 've gathered your survey responses , we will combine them with the answers from other respondents and turn them into valuable insights which may be shared with third parties . Unless specifically stated at the start of the research activity and with your explicit permission , this information will only be disclosed to third parties in anonymised or aggregated form , stripped of any identifiable data ( example forms of anonymised / aggregate data include : " X% of males from Birmingham agree that ...

Privacy Plus Subscription On some of our websites we offer you a Privacy Plus subscription service for tracking-free access . This Privacy Plus subscription provides a reading option free of personalised advertising , where we completely forego advertising tracking and only serve basic advertising . For a monthly fee , a Privacy Plus subscription enables you to access the same content , without sharing your personal data for advertising purposes . This means : We will not run tracking technologies . An interest profile will not be generated based on your browsing . You will not receive personalised advertising . You will not receive personalised content , unless you specifically opt in to do so . The Privacy Plus " anti-tracking " subscription : Does not include the possibility of reading premium content .

Selecting this option means we do not pass your data to advertising providers and do not pass on any personalised usage data to third parties . In order to be able to offer you this service on our website , we will collect online identifiers such as device type , IP address , language settings , approximate location at the time of browsing , and your logged in user id .

We will use that information to publish and administer your ad , and to communicate with you about it . The content of your ad will be published and therefore accessible to the public . We do this on the basis that it is necessary to fulfil the contract agreed with you when you place your ad . We will retain the contact details of private individuals for up to 6 years from the point of last interaction , and trade contact details for as long as we have a business purpose .

The social media platform also provides us with anonymous usage statistics , which we use to improve user experience and understand activity across our sites . We do not have access to the usage data that the operator of the social network collects to create these statistics . The operator of the social media platform also processes your data , regardless of whether you yourself have a profile on the platform . In addition , some social media platforms , such as Facebook , use cookies that are stored on your terminal device when you visit our social media account , even if you do not have your own profile in the network or are not logged in . These cookies enable the social media platform to create user profiles based on your preferences and interests and to show you advertising tailored to these . For information on the cookies we use , and the social media operators and their privacy policies please see our Cookie Notice . For further information on how we may receive , use and share your data see 12.4 Social media platforms . When you apply for a job with us , we will process the information you or the recruitment agency gives to us in order to consider your application and to communicate with you ( or the agency ) about it .

We do this on the basis of our legitimate interest in managing and administering those relationships . If you work at a current or prospective advertising or publishing services client or related agencies , revenue sharing partners ( for the sale of your products or services ) or are users of Reach software we will also contact you from time to time using your work contact details to promote our services . We will have those contact details either because we have worked with you before , you shared them with us for this purpose , because we or our agencies have looked them up from publicly available information , or because you have attended an event we have hosted . We do this on the basis of our legitimate interest in promoting our advertising and publishing services to businesses . We will always stop contacting you for this purpose if you ask us to . Typically , the best way to do that is to respond to the person contacting you , but you can also make the request by completing the relevant form . We keep the details of our contacts at organisations we do business with for as long as we continue to have a business relationship , and for a period thereafter for business development purposes and in case of issues or disputes . 11.3 Site visits and CCTV When you visit a Reach site we will record your name , the date , and in some locations your company name . This information is retained for one week . In some circumstances , non-employees may be provided with a site pass . Where this applies , the personal data obtained , including a photograph of you , will be retained for the duration of your visit or contract with Reach and for 7 years thereafter for fraud , security , and financial reporting purposes . We use CCTV systems at our premises on the basis of our legitimate interest in protecting the safety and security of our staff and our property . We may pass your information to our processors -- companies that we use to provide services on our behalf , for example for home delivery services , event management , prize fulfilment agencies , market research or other purposes mentioned in this Privacy Notice such as analytics , direct marketing or online advertising . These processors can only use your information in accordance with our instructions and for no other purpose In addition , further to the data sharing described elsewhere in this Privacy Notice , Reach will disclose your information and co-operate with appropriate bodies and authorities in good faith where we are required to by law , a court order , a regulatory authority , or otherwise , including with the police , trading standards , regulatory authorities , other relevant authorities , or credit reference agencies . Where permitted by applicable laws , where you interact with us , we may monitor , record , and retain all associated data , correspondence , and communications , such as written letters , telephone call recordings , emails , text messages , social media messages , in person meetings and any other communications . We will do this to , ( i ) comply with our legal and regulatory obligations ( ii ) , prevent , or detect crime ( iii ) , maintain appropriate evidential records ( iv ) , protect the security of our communications systems and ( v ) for training and quality purposes .

We will also use personal information to manage and administer our business generally . We will share information with security consultants and IT security system providers , where necessary , to monitor and manage data security and the security of our sites and networks , and to develop security threat intelligence data . We may also share information to facilitate the sale of one or more parts of our business , including if we are approached by a potential buyer or the restructuring of one or more parts of our business and with auditing organisations such as the Audit Bureau of Circulation . When we share information with third parties , we only permit them to process this data for specified purposes . We do not share more information with them than is necessary for the relevant purpose and we require them to treat this information with at least the same protection we do . Our websites may include links to third-party websites , plug-ins , and applications . Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you . We do not control these third-party websites and , when you leave our website , we encourage you to read the Privacy Notice of every website you visit . We may monetise some of these links through the use of third-party affiliate programmes . These affiliate links help pay the costs of producing our websites and ensure that the content is free to you . However , it does n't mean that we are in any way indebted to Amazon or any other company . Nor do they or any other company have any influence over editorial coverage , how we rate products , or whether they get a positive review . Notwithstanding such affiliate programmes , we are not responsible for the content or privacy policies of these websites or for third-party advertisers , nor for the way in which they use the information they collect about you .

For this purpose , visitors are grouped by certain actions on our services , for example , by duration of visit . This enables us to understand your preferences and to show you personalised advertising even if you are currently on another website within the network . We may also share de-identified information with social media platforms for advertising and analysis purposes . For example , we may share a hashed , non-identifiable version of your email with , for example , Facebook or Google , with the aim of showing you advertising on those platforms , or to exclude you from seeing our advertising on those platforms . Combined with the use of their respective pixels/advanced matching and Conversions/Events APIs ( a secure server-to-server interface that allows us to share specific actions you take on our website directly with Meta and TikTok ) , this enables us to better understand how you interact with our website , measure the impact of our advertising and website conversions , deliver relevant advertising that may be of interest to you and protect your privacy .

Although we do not share your data with the code providers , when you claim your code your personal data may be collected . The legal " controller " of your personal data is Reach plc , and we rely on the performance of a contract for the application of discount codes . However , our discount websites are managed on our behalf by Widilo who also act as a data controller should you create an account or sign up to their newsletters . Reach is not responsible for the content or use of personal data on third party websites linked to from our sites which offer Discount Codes .

Reach Gaming Affiliates is a website operated by Reach , to promote our Gaming Affiliate programs , and provide users with the ability to join the program . We provide direct links to our nationally recognised and trusted gaming brands on our Reach Gaming Affiliates webpage , such as Mirror Bingo , OK ! Bingo and Express Wins . We also provide links to web pages where you can submit your information in order to join our Reach Gaming Affiliates Account . Please note that we do not directly collect any personal data , concerning your browsing behaviour or your participation in our affiliate program , on this website . When you navigate to these web pages , please note that our partner , Jumpman , will be the data controller for the personal data that you provide , and Reach will be the data processor . The information we share will be used in accordance with our partner 's privacy policy , which you should read when you sign up with the partner . For more information about how your Affiliate data will be used , please see the Jumpman Privacy Notice here . Reach receives information from , and shares information with , other companies within the Reach Group to help operate , provide , improve , understand , customise , support , and market our services and their offerings . This includes : performing analytics and analysis of how you interact with the group 's products and services , to facilitate business efficiencies and develop products and services that would be relevant to you ; and sharing information to deliver more relevant advertising from across the Reach Group network . In addition , a key way we share data across systems and Group companies is for advertising and targeting purposes . This can be based on your online behaviour on our sites , for example : When you go onto one of our sites we can track your behaviour on those sites , or any of our other sites across our Group companies , and use this to target advertising or email content to you . For example , if you use our ecommerce site yimbly.com , we can see if you later visited one of our other sites and you may see advertising for the products you looked at based on this . If you would prefer to opt out , you can do so via the consent management pop-up . This also applies if you open an email from us and this takes you online as we can use the information from your online behaviour to later target marketing to you . So for example if you subscribe to marketing emails on one of our regional news sites and we see you looked at sporting content on our other sites we may provide you with sport related content in your marketing emails from the regional news site . You can unsubscribe from emails at any time . We may also upload emails ( in hashed , pseudonymous form ) straight to the advertising data system and this enables us to identify the same non-identifiable user across devices . So we know , for example , that the person who looks at Reach lifestyle content on their phone and then Reach fashion content on their desktop , is in fact the same non-identified person . You can unsubscribe from emails at any time . We may also use the other data you have provided to us , combined with your online behaviour , to personalise your email campaigns . For example , if you signed up an account when browsing ' football ' content on our news sites , we may classify you as a ' football intender ' . Later when you go online we may see you are also interested in content on films and classify you as a ' football and films intender ' . As a result you may see advertising content related to football and films , when you visit our sites . If we sell part or all of our business , personal information may be one of the transferred business assets . If this happens , your information may be disclosed to any successors of our business for them to use for the purpose set out in this Privacy Notice . We are committed to protecting the personal data we hold and keep your information secure by taking appropriate technical and organisational measures , including for example encryption techniques and access control , to protect personal and sensitive data against its unauthorised or unlawful processing and against its accidental loss , destruction or damage . Where we use third-party service providers to store data , we have appropriate agreements in place to ensure that your personal data is protected . In addition , we limit access to your personal information to those employees , agents , contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know . We also require any third parties to whom we may transfer personal data to have appropriate security measures in place . They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality . Our websites may permit you to create an account , or have the facility for an account to be created on your behalf . When this happens , you may be prompted to create a password . You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password , and you are responsible for any access to or use of your account by someone else that has obtained your password , whether or not such access or use has been authorised by you . You should notify us of any unauthorised use of your password or account . In the unlikely event of a breach we will notify the affected individuals in a timely manner , as required by law . If you believe your account has been compromised , please contact us at **26;1749;TOOLONG , or if you are in the US email **27;1777;TOOLONG stating which state you are a resident of . 13.2 Reason for keeping it We hold personal data for a variety of different purposes and the length of time we keep your data will vary depending on the services or products we are providing our customers with . We will only keep your data for a reasonable period of time , which is based on the purpose for which we are using your data . For example , we review our marketing contact lists and delete those contacts where there has been no activity for three years . In addition , by law , for tax and other purposes , we may have to keep basic information about our customers ( including Contact , Identity , Financial and Transaction Data ) for seven years after they cease being customers . We may also need to keep information to evidence a contract or prevent fraud . Once the purpose has been fulfilled , we will securely delete that data or anonymise your information ( so that we , or anyone else , can no longer tell that data relates to you ) unless we are required to retain the data longer for legal , tax or accounting reasons . 13.3 Countries we may transfer your data to When you provide information to us , we may transfer your personal information to our group companies and processors who are based in a country other than your country of residence . For example , if you are a UK citizen you may find your data is processed by a supplier or service based outside the UK or EEA , such as in the United States . If such a transfer requires us to apply additional safeguards to your personal information under , for example , UK or European data protection laws , we will do so . These steps may include implementing the UK 's International Data Transfer Agreement clauses or European Commission 's Standard Contractual Clauses , with additional UK-specific clauses for transfers of personal information to our service providers and business partners . Alternatively we will ensure the third parties we work with will offer an adequate level of protection by meeting the legally agreed requirements of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework , and the UK extension , as appropriate . To the extent applicable , we may rely on derogations as set forth in Article 49 of the GDPR for the transfer and onward transfer of personal information collected from individuals in the UK or EEA to the United States , and other countries that the EU views as not providing adequate data protection . Specifically , we may transfer such information to another party in accordance with our lawful basis for processing . By using our website , products or services or by interacting with us in the ways described in this Privacy Notice , you consent to the transfer , storage and processing of your personal information outside your country of residence , including out of the EEA , in the circumstances set out in this Privacy Notice . If you do not want your information to be transferred in this way you should not use our website , applications or services . Our products and services are for a general audience and not aimed at children , although we recognise that some of the content of our publications may appeal to a younger audience , for example our football content and Curiously site . Across our portfolio , we have taken active measures to ensure we comply with all relevant laws and regulations , and do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of sixteen or send any marketing communications to children . If we are running a competition , for example , which might be of interest to children , our competition rules specify that a parent or guardian must consent to entry ( if the child is under eighteen ) . You must also be at least eighteen to purchase products or services from us . If you are under the age of eighteen , you must ensure that your parent or guardian purchases the products or services on your behalf . If , in the future , we collect personally identifiable information from children in connection with our products and services , we will do so in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations including , without limitation , obtaining parental consent where necessary . If you are a parent or guardian and are concerned that we may be processing personal data related to your child , please contact **27;1806;TOOLONG . You can exercise your rights by contacting our group Data Protection Officer 's team through the use of the relevant forms provided below . It is helpful to be as specific as possible about what you want us to do or what information you are looking for , because it enables us to respond to you more quickly . Depending on your request , we may ask you to prove your identity to us first , in order to make sure that someone is n't impersonating you . For example , if you contact us about your Reach account using a different email address , we may first require you to prove that you control the email address which you used to set up the account . If you want information about a subscription or some other paid service then we may ask you to provide the last four digits of the credit card used to pay for it . If you are making a request on behalf of someone else , you must include proof of their permission for you to do so , or provide evidence of a power of attorney , court order , or health professional evidence that they are unable to provide consent . Most of your rights do have exceptions to them , designed to protect the rights of others or to ensure that we can comply with the law and operate our business in a prudent manner ( for example , by keeping certain records ) . If we decline all or part of your request on the basis of one or more of those exceptions , we will tell you that we are doing so , and we will explain our reasons . We may also reject your request entirely if it is excessive or unfounded . 15.1 Your right to access the information we hold about you You have the right to have access to the information we hold about you . There are a few exceptions to that right , designed to protect the rights of other people . If we hold information about you that is factually inaccurate ( for example , we have spelled your name wrong ) then you have the right to have it corrected . This right does not extend to matters of opinion ; for example , moderation decisions we might make about your comments on our websites . You may have the right to have some or all of your information deleted , principally if the information you want deleted is no longer needed or if we do n't have a legal basis to continue using it ( for example , if we are using it on the basis of your consent and you withdraw your consent ) . For targeted advertising on our websites , you can access the screen to do this by clicking the " Privacy " tag with the ' cog ' icon or link at the bottom of every webpage to go to the Consent Management Platform ( CMP ) . For targeted advertising in our apps , you will be presented with the CMP on initial download and whenever it is updated thereafter . You can also change your CMP settings by navigating to ' My Account ' at the bottom of the app screen and clicking on ' My Privacy ' . If we are doing something with your data not on the basis of your consent but on the basis of our " legitimate interest " , then you have the right to object to what we are doing , and we must stop unless we can show that there is a compelling and legitimate reason to continue or what we are doing relates to a legal claim . Activities such as fraud prevention will fall into that category . In the case of direct marketing and profiling , your right to object is absolute . Regardless of what other mechanisms we may make available , you can always object by unsubscribing from marketing emails and by rejecting the use of cookies on our websites ( see the Privacy ' cog ' or link at the bottom of every webpage ) . When using our apps , if you want to change the settings , go to the ' My Account ' Link at the bottom of the screen which includes ' My Privacy ' and takes you to the Consent Management Platform ( CMP ) . 15.6 Your right to restrict what we do with your information in some circumstances In certain circumstances , you have the right to restrict our use of your information to simply storing it and using it only for legal claims , protecting the rights of others and matters of important public interest . Those circumstances are : if you dispute the accuracy of information we hold about you ; if we do something unlawful with your information but you do n't want us to delete it ; if we do n't need the information anymore but you want us to preserve it in connection with a legal claim ; or for the duration of the period in which we are considering a valid objection you have raised under your right to object discussed above . You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you which you have provided to a controller in a portable electronic format , or have it transmitted to another controller , where processing is based upon consent and undertaken by automated means . If you have a complaint or disagree with a decision we have made , we ask that you discuss it with us first by contacting the group Data Protection Officer using our data protection complaints form or via the address given at the top of this Privacy Notice . You also have the right to complain to your data protection supervisory authority . Privacy legislation in the US and Canada is evolving and as a result there are special rights for residents of certain states . This section details the existing state laws and consumer privacy rights and will be updated as the new laws are introduced . We have appointed a Privacy Officer to oversee our data protection and privacy practices , in the US and Canada . Our Data Protection Officer holds this position . If you have any comments , concerns , or questions , including any requests to exercise your legal rights , you can contact our Privacy Officer as follows : This section applies to California residents .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'takes the hassle out of sending invites' does not involve a causee NP object that participates in the event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the platform removing the hassle associated with sending invites, which is a different construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'rule Bailey out of making the squad' does not involve a causer causing a causee to move out of or be prevented from an action. Instead, it is about excluding someone from a group or list, which does not align with the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The winger suffered a hamstring injury in the first half of Villa 's 2-1 win over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium over a fortnight ago . He lunged in an attempt to block a pass , but felt his hamstring go and came off . Bailey subsequently pulled out of national team duty with Jamaica and missed Villa 's win over Everton at Villa Park on Saturday . In his press conference ahead of the Premier League clash with the Toffees , Villa manager Unai Emery did n't completely rule Bailey out of making the squad , but the 27-year-old was n't named in the team after a late assessment . Emery will speak to the media at the Wankdorf Stadium later today and may give an update on Bailey , who appears set to return to the squad .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks a V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate structure. Instead, 'opting out of contributing themselves' involves an intransitive verb 'opting' and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

A new report also suggests changing automatic enrolment to people aged between 16 to 74 , to help younger and older workers . ( Image : Getty ) The Institute for Fiscal Studies ( IFS ) has said there is a " strong case " for most employees to receive money from their employer into a workplace pension , even if they do not pay into it themselves . It was suggested that this would particularly benefit women , part-time workers , young adults and lower earners . The IFS proposed that employees should receive an employer pension contribution of at least 3 per cent of total pay , irrespective of whether they also contribute . This could benefit the 22 per cent of private sector employees who either opt out of their pension scheme or are not automatically enrolled due to their earnings being too low . The Institute said that while there is a risk this leads to more employees opting out of contributing themselves , there could be a trial approach prior to implementation . The age range targeted by automatic enrolment should also be widened from 22 to State Pension age @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in paid work save for later life , the IFS said . It also said increased default employee contributions should be targeted at people on average incomes and above to help some middle and higher earners better supplement their State Pension . As an example , the IFS said there could be a 12 per cent default total contribution rate for the portion of earnings above ? 35,000 ( around median full-time earnings ) , with the additional contributions coming from employee contributions . Less than half of private sector employees who save into a workplace pension contribute more than 8 per cent of their earnings , researchers said . The research was carried out as part of the Pensions Review , led by the IFS in partnership with the abrdn Financial Fairness Trust . The IFS found that around 30 to 40 per cent of private sector employees ( five to seven million people ) saving in defined contribution ( DC ) pension schemes are on course to have individual incomes that fall short of standard benchmarks in retirement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ potential future inheritances are factored in . The IFS said that employees who face higher default pension contributions under the suggestions should still be given the choice to " opt down " to the minimum pension contribution rates currently in operation . Laurence O'Brien , a research economist at IFS and an author of the report , said : " Too many private sector employees appear on course to end up on a low - or disappointing - retirement income . While there is often concern about savers not saving enough , an additional problem is that despite automatic enrolment boosting workplace pension membership , more than one in five private sector employees are still not saving in a pension . " David Sturrock , a senior research economist at the IFS and another author of the report , said : " There is a strong case for almost all employees to receive an employer pension contribution , irrespective of whether they make a contribution themselves . " Mubin Haq , chief executive of the abrdn Financial Fairness Trust , said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of whether an employee makes a contribution could boost employer pension contributions by ? 4 billion per year . This would particularly benefit women , those working part-time , young adults and the low paid . " A Department for Work and Pensions ( DWP ) spokesperson said : " We will ensure the pensioners of tomorrow have the dignity and security they deserve in retirement as we carry out our landmark pensions review to boost investment , increase pension pots and tackle waste in the pension system . " More than 15 million savers could benefit from our new Pension Schemes Bill - with the potential for an average earner to have ? 11,000 more in their defined contribution pot by retirement . " |

As an example , the IFS said there could be a 12 per cent default total contribution rate for the portion of earnings above ? 35,000 ( around median full-time earnings ) , with the additional contributions coming from employee contributions . Less than half of private sector employees who save into a workplace pension contribute more than 8 per cent of their earnings , researchers said . The research was carried out as part of the Pensions Review , led by the IFS in partnership with the abrdn Financial Fairness Trust . The IFS found that around 30 to 40 per cent of private sector employees ( five to seven million people ) saving in defined contribution ( DC ) pension schemes are on course to have individual incomes that fall short of standard benchmarks in retirement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ potential future inheritances are factored in . The IFS said that employees who face higher default pension contributions under the suggestions should still be given the choice to " opt down " to the minimum pension contribution rates currently in operation . Laurence O'Brien , a research economist at IFS and an author of the report , said : " Too many private sector employees appear on course to end up on a low - or disappointing - retirement income . While there is often concern about savers not saving enough , an additional problem is that despite automatic enrolment boosting workplace pension membership , more than one in five private sector employees are still not saving in a pension . " David Sturrock , a senior research economist at the IFS and another author of the report , said : " There is a strong case for almost all employees to receive an employer pension contribution , irrespective of whether they make a contribution themselves .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It mentions 'held out of training camp', but 'held out' is a phrasal verb meaning to refrain from participating, and 'training camp' is a noun phrase, not a VP[-ing] predicate. There is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the sentence does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('the fundamental cruelty of the Rwanda scheme') + V1 ('remains') + NP object ('asylum seekers') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('making the journey'). It also exhibits a prevention interpretation, where the action of making the journey is prevented by scaring the asylum seekers. The verb 'scared' fits into the category of verbs that arouse fear, which is one of the means to achieve the goal in this construction. The NP object 'asylum seekers' functions as a causee, and the sentence clearly conveys a prevention interpretation, making it a valid instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The Rwanda scheme was , to me , an incredibly expensive way to be cruel , and a new low for the Conservatives ' ' hostile environment ' . But with Keir Starmer 's international trip to meet Italy 's far-right Prime Minister , Giorgia Meloni , it seems the new PM may still be focused on deterrence and punishment instead of the safe and legal routes that could end the ongoing tragedy of people crossing the Channel in small boats . Meloni has been a member of many fascistic political organisations including the youth wing of the ' Italian Social Movement ' , a successor party to Mussolini 's war time groupings . Her hardline rhetoric on immigration would make Nigel Farage blush . Is this really who we want to ' learn ' from ? ( Picture : AP Photo/Andrew Medichini ) She even went as far as calling for the Italian navy to implement a naval blockade against north Africa , and ridiculed those who pointed out that this would be an act of war . Is this really who we want to ' learn ' from ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in constructive diplomacy with other nations , but no British Prime Minister , from any party , should be seeking advice or ideas from far-right leaders . Starmer was apparently on a fact finding visit , learning about the Italian PM 's approach to migration . Home Secretary , Yvette Cooper , said that the government is interested in Italy 's asylum deal with neighbouring Albania . But in short , Italy 's Albania deal is a rehashed Rwanda scheme , costing hundreds of millions of euros to scare off desperate people seeking safety . Up to 36,000 asylum seekers a year will be deported from Italy to Albania , where asylum seekers will be detained at an air base while their claims are processed . As with the UK 's Rwanda scheme , the idea behind the policy seems to be that it will deter asylum seekers because they will worry about being dumped in a poor country with little hope . To view this video please enable JavaScript , and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video There seem to be a number of key differences between the Albania scheme and the Rwanda one . One major one is that asylum seekers sent to Albania will be protected by the European Convention on Human Rights . But the fundamental cruelty of the Rwanda scheme remains inherent in the Albania policy : that asylum seekers will be scared out of making the journey , rather than provided with safe and legal routes by which to apply for asylum . When Prime Minister Starmer announced he was scrapping the Rwanda scheme , his main reason was it was a ' gimmick that did n't act as a deterrent ' as it would only deport ' less than 1% of small boat arrivals ' . Should we be speaking to right-wing governments ? Have your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ notable that Labour 's criticisms of Rwanda were on effectiveness and cost grounds , rather than humanity and what is right . But a cruel policy that is compliant with fiscal rules and human rights is still a cruel policy . And Starmer 's decision to date suggests he has n't yet found the courage to make a break with the previous government 's ' tough on immigration ' stance . The new Labour government has already promised thousands more deportations , which makes the PM 's visit to consult with Meloni an even greater cause for concern . There must be no return to the Conservative approach of outsourcing and offshoring our international , and moral , obligations to refugees and asylum seekers . Our Green MPs in Parliament will continue making the case , as Caroline Lucas did before us , that the Government must stop this performative cruelty and focus on providing safe and legal routes for all those asylum seekers desperate for safety . This , and not taking lessons from far-right governments , is the only humane and workable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ end the constant , devastating loss of life in the Channel . |

Tackling one of the biggest challenges for handhelds -- and much more besides , no doubt When you purchase through links on our site , we may earn an affiliate commission . Here 's how it works . ( Image credit : Future ) AMD is going to power up the next-generation of its FSR tech by using AI , in what Team Red admits is a turnaround regarding its stance on using artificial intelligence for the purpose of boosting frame rates in PC gaming . This came to light in an interview that Tom 's Hardware conducted with Jack Huynh , who is Senior VP and GM of the Computing and Graphics Group at AMD . When exploring the topic of battery life in gaming handhelds like the Asus ROG Ally X , Huynh lamented the lack of longevity when playing more demanding games ( giving Black Myth : Wukong as an example ) . What 's the cure for that ? Well , that 's an extremely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Huynh feels that FSR 4 taking the strain off the hardware will be a sizeable part of getting more mileage out of demanding games when playing on the move -- and that frame generation tech ( meaning artificially inserting extra frames to up the frames per second count ) therein will use AI . Huynh told Tom 's : " So now we 're going AI-based frame generation , frame interpolation , and the idea is increased efficiency to maximize battery life . And then we could lock the frames per second , maybe it 's 30 frames per second , or 35 . My number one goal right now is to maximize battery life . " Huynh then admits this is a major switch to go with artificial intelligence , but said he told his team he wanted something with a very fast time to market with FSR 4 , and that the future was AI in that respect -- and AMD ' completely pivoted ' about a year ago to go AI-based with next-generation FSR . ( Image credit : Getty Images / RyanKing999 ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ways , this feels inevitable -- the switch to AI , that is , and not just because artificial intelligence is such a huge presence across the entire tech industry these days . While AMD initially poured scorn on the need for AI with upscaling tech like FSR , the mood at Team Red has clearly changed in more recent times . Indeed , other AMD executives like CTO Mark Papermaster have already dropped hefty hints that FSR will get infused with AI at some stage , and so it seems that 's exactly what 's happening with FSR 4 .

The framing here of FSR 4 boosting battery life in handhelds may seem odd , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's had with Huynh at the recent IFA 2024 show where the exec was talking specifically about handhelds . So , do n't read too much into this -- it 's not like FSR 4 will be designed primarily for gaming handhelds , or at least we ca n't imagine that 's remotely the case . However , the thought AMD is putting into the angle of FSR 4 working to beef up the weakest area of Windows 11 handhelds ( and the Steam Deck too ) is notable , certainly -- and perhaps a reflection of the importance Team Red places on the gaming portable world right now . In short , FSR 4 wo n't be all about increased efficiency -- that 'll just be one part of a bigger puzzle ( and with handhelds , the tech may well leverage the powerful NPUs on new mobile CPUs which considerably accelerate AI workloads ) . Hopefully , AI will also be in the mix with improving other major considerations such as the quality of the upscaled image with FSR 4 , and smoothing over glitches ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) . With this interview , though , we 're only getting a narrow and fleeting glimpse of AMD 's plans , and we do n't know the full picture by any means .

A quarter of employees , many of whom are on the lowest incomes , choose not to contribute to their workplace pension or earn too little to qualify , according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies , a think tank . It thinks that businesses should still make contributions for them , to avoid millions living in poverty in old age . We seek opposing views Steven Cameron , the director of pensions at the financial services firm Aegon Employers should be required to pay at least 3 per cent into a pension scheme for all staff , regardless of whether the employee is also paying into the pot . Employees aged between 22 and state pension age who earn more than ? 10,000 a year are automatically enrolled into a workplace pension , paying in 5 per cent of their qualifying earnings while the employer pays in 3 per cent . This has made a huge difference to the number who are building up private pensions . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because they ca n't afford the cut in take-home pay . This means they often lose their employer contribution too -- employers are required to pay only if the employee does . This is not fair : employers would effectively benefit while employees work to keep the company profitable , but face financial hardship later in life . Requiring employer contributions for this small number of workers wo n't add much to the payroll . But the boost for workers would be significant -- it could be the difference between no private pension and a valuable top-up to a modest state pension . This would offer protection to those most in need : lower earners , and often women who are more likely to work part-time because they are caring for family members . Employers must comply with minimum-wage legislation and it 's not a big stretch to include employer pension contributions within that . But for the majority of workers , even a combined 8 per cent contribution wo n't provide a comfortable retirement . So it 's vital that the benefits of paying personal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tax incentives such as tax-relief top-ups . Any chancellor tempted to downgrade these incentives should think carefully about the negative message this would send . Many employers go beyond the automatic enrolment minimum requirements , paying in well above the 3 per cent minimum and this is great news for their employees . If an employee has opted out of contributing to a workplace pension then such employers could reduce their contribution to 3 per cent in the interest of fairness . Pensions are an integral part of employee benefit packages ; I firmly believe a minimum 3 per cent employer contribution should be universal . Neil Carberry , the chief executive of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation , a trade body One of the great public policy successes of this century is pension reform . Automatic employee enrolment in private pension schemes has transformed how people save for retirement . That reform was built on the idea that pension saving is a partnership between employers , government and workers . All must contribute to meeting the savings challenges we face @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ costs on to employers -- would disrupt pensions in this country , and not for the better . It would take them away from being a benefit for workers and make them more of a payroll tax . Neil Carberry Britain already has relatively high payroll taxes , because employers ' national insurance , which few realise is the biggest business tax , has been an easy one for chancellors to increase . When you add that on top of the apprenticeship levy , the cost of employing staff for businesses has risen . If employers have to do more , other budgets would be squeezed . Economists warn that firms pay for higher pension costs by lower cash wage increases . At a time when we are recovering from high inflation -- and when our economy needs a boost -- that is not the best idea . And it is quite regressive . The state pension increases every year and more workers are saving . Lower earners should be able to fund the income they need in retirement from these sources . Stagnating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like a decision for the worker to make , not the government . The government -- whose main aim is economic growth -- should not be forcing companies to put investment into pension schemes above other things . We want businesses to pay people well , to invest more in training and in research and to help with challenges like mental health . But funds are finite . Britain has a proud history of employer-provided pensions -- only the US has more funded pension assets -- and firms who can do more voluntarily , will . But it has to be a partnership , and changes brought forward by the government should reflect this . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('Too many young people and families') + V1 ('are being priced') + NP object (implied 'them') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('having a decent home and the stability and security that this brings'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the action of being priced out prevents the NP object from having a decent home. The verb 'priced' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically'. The NP subject is an animate agent, and the construction is in passive voice, which is acceptable for this construction. The NP object (implied 'them') is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

There are calls to increase the amount of affordable homes in Gloucester as the city has a 4,700 waitlist for council housing . Gloucester City Council 's current policy is that all new housing development will include 20 per cent affordable housing , But Labour councillors want to see this significantly increased to 30 per cent - this would include homes both to buy and for social rent . There are currently 4,700 people on the council 's waiting list and many people are unable to buy a home of their own while rental costs are extortionate and continue to rise . Young people and too many families are unable to afford a decent home , Labour councillors say . And they will be presenting a motion at tonight 's ( September 19 ) full council meeting . Labour group deputy leader Tree Chambers-Dubus ( Moreland ) said : " A good quality , decent and affordable home is essential to families in Gloucester . Too many young people and families are being priced out of having a decent home and the stability and security that this brings . " This situation has to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more affordable housing in future and increase its current policy of 20 per cent to 30 per cent to make this happen . " However , getting the motion passed may prove a tall order for the Labour group as two of the other political groups do not appear keen to support it while the Conservative group says it remains steadfast in its commitment to increasing the availability of affordable housing for Gloucester residents . Group leader Stephanie Chambers ( C , Quedgeley Fieldcourt ) said : " While we endorse the policy requiring major developments to allocate 30% of homes as affordable for rent and purchase , we acknowledge that developers may submit viability assessments , particularly for brownfield sites , which incur higher development costs . Conservative group leader Stephanie Chambers was previously the planning and housing cabinet member for Gloucester City Council " These assessments can potentially justify a reduction in the number of affordable homes provided . It is imperative that the council rigorously scrutinises these assessments to ensure they comply with all requirements if a reduction in affordable housing is proposed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more homes for all residents , while maximising the number of affordable homes , is a challenging but essential task . " However , Community Independents leader Alastair Chambers ( Matson , Robinswood and White City ) said Labour 's motion was " nothing more than smoke and mirrors " . " The stark reality is when there was three Labour Party councillors in Matson , the large Matson 550 new build development went through planning with no affordable housing and no council association housing whatsoever . " Yet under the Independents the recent housing development that 's currently going through in Matson has the largest amount of social and affordable housing in the area for the last 30 years , as we have been communicating and building a good relationship with the developers . Therefore , the Labour motion is laughable .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'out of' in a different context, indicating a result or state ('out of boxing for good') rather than a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The verb 'knocked' does not fit the categories of verbs that typically appear in the V1 slot of the transitive out of -ing construction, and there is no NP object functioning as a causee.

Mike Tyson has given a worrying health update two months out from his fight with Jake Paul at the AT&T Arena in Arlington , Texas on November 15 - the first event of its kind to be live streamed on Netflix . It 's ahead in July but was called off after the 58-year-old former heavyweight world champion sustained a health scare . Tyson had an ulcer that flared up and both fighters agreed to postpone the fight to November as Tyson would not have been able to train at the right intensity . And now , according to Dexerto , Tyson was part of the commentary team for the Cage Wars event in New York on September 13 and when speaking about his work ahead of the upcoming fight , he said things are " a little shaky " . " It 's hard to walk right now , " he said . " But two months from now , I 'm going to be perfect . " Tyson @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is won in the gym " as he will undoubtedly ramp up preparations in the coming weeks . Paul does not have a backup fighter planned this time around so if Tyson is unable to compete , the event would likely not go ahead at all . Speaking in June when the fight was initially postponed , Tyson said : " My body is in better overall shape than it has been since the 1990s . " Jake Paul , this may have bought you some time , but in the end you will still be knocked out and out of boxing for good . " Paul said : " My fans know I do n't want to face Iron Mike at anything but his best , but let there be no mistake - when he steps into the ring with me , I will be ready to claim my W with a sensational finish . " Paul vs Tyson will be one for the ages , and I promise to bring my best for this once-in-a-lifetime matchup. " |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes a partnership that could help reduce the difficulty of using a public EV charging network, but it does not involve a causer causing a causee to move out of or be prevented from an action denoted by a VP[-ing] predicate. The phrase 'take the pain out of using a public EV charging network' is more idiomatic and does not align with the specific grammatical and semantic properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'opting out of' followed by a gerund phrase 'purchasing big ticket or luxury items', which does not involve a causer and causee relationship or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'opting out of' is used in a different grammatical context here, indicating a choice rather than causation or prevention.

The Bank of England could cut interest rates to 2.75pc next year , analysts have suggested , amid growing confidence that the worst of Britain 's inflationary crisis is over . Policymakers are likely to cut interest rates at November 's meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee ( MPC ) and then again at every meeting next year from February , according to analysts from HSBC . It follows a decision by the Bank of England 's MPC earlier this week to keep rates on hold at 5pc . The Bank Rate had surged as high as 5.25pc following a series of rises over the past few years to try keep a lid on inflation . Last month , the Bank of England cut interest rates for the first time in four years . " With most indicators pointing to a cooling in the labour market , we and BoE have become more confident that the worst of the inflation pressures - and the risk of them becoming entrenched - is behind us . Given this , the current policy rate looks some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ statement from the Monetary Policy Committee suggested that rate setters were not in " the mood to move quickly " . However , the analysts said : " Given our own forecast that CPI inflation will rise back to 2.9pc by January next year ( perhaps a touch above the Bank of England 's expectation ) , it might be February before the MPC has sufficient confidence for back-to-back rate cuts taking Bank Rate to 2.75pc in December next year . " Christine Lagarde has said she was " shocked " by Germans ' enthusiastic use of cash when she moved to Frankfurt to head the European Central Bank . Tim Wallace reports : " I was shocked when I moved to Frankfurt to see how much was paid in banknotes . You had better have a big wallet , because a lot is paid in banknotes , " she said . " The citizens are attached to banknotes . You go to Sweden or to the Netherlands @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ send you off , bring your phone , do n't you have another way to pay ? " The ECB President is looking into creating a central bank digital currency , but said citizens are worried about the privacy of the system . " The main concern people have is privacy - Big Brother is going to see where I spend my money , " she told an audience at the International Monetary Fund in Washington . " You know what , there are a few Big Brothers when you use your bank account or when you use other devices who know where you are spending your money , know what you are interested in and will send you instantly all those ads and nice proposals . " But the concern about the state - the assumption is the central bank will communicate all information collected to the state - will be privy to how you spend your money is something that is very very critical for citizens . " In her lecture to the IMF , Ms Lagarde warned that the inflation shock may @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an era where inflation is more volatile and monetary policy transmission more uncertain , maintaining this deep anchor for price formation will be essential , " she said , referring to the expectation among households and businesses that central banks will always raise interest rates to crush inflation . She also compared the 2020s to the 1920s , citing similarities including pandemics , a reversal of globalisation , and rapid technological progress . But she also raised the hope that central banks have learned their lesson from that era and should be able to avoid the " series of wrong turns " which tipped much of the world into the Great Depression . The Federal Reserve 's big interest rate cut this week is not a sign that the US economy is " falling behind , " Fed governor Christopher Waller said in an interview this afternoon . He told CNBC : It 's not about reacting to , or falling behind or anything like that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mr Waller was responding to arguments that the central bank should not do a half percentage point rate cut - instead opting for a smaller reduction - as this would be a sign of economic weakness . Citing a speech he made earlier this year , Mr Waller stressed that the Fed could cut rates even if the economy was doing fine . " And that 's the position we 're in , " he said , noting that inflation is cooling while the labour market remains solid . Central banks face a " difficult balancing act " as they start lowering interest rates around the world in the face of falling inflation , the head of the IMF said at an event this afternoon . Central banks on both sides of the Atlantic have cut rates this year , with the US Federal Reserve reducing its key lending rate by half a percentage point earlier this week in a bid to boost demand , following in the footsteps of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as they do so they must tread carefully , International Monetary Fund boss Kristalina Georgieva said at an event with ECB president Christine Lagarde in Washington . Ms Georgieva said : Central banks face a difficult balancing act . They must ensure that inflation sustainably returns to target and remains there , while avoiding the risk of excessively tight policies . While clearly weaker than we would have wanted , economic activity has been remarkably resilient , While inflation is retreating , rates are going down . Recession appears to be unlikely . The ECB has cut rates twice this year , while the Bank of England voted on Thursday to leave rates unchanged after just one cut , as UK inflation remained above-target . Ms Lagarde said that the ECB 's " determined policy actions have successfully kept inflation expectations anchored , " adding that inflation remains on track to hit its two percent target in the middle of next year . " But is the uncertainty gone ? No , there is still plenty of that around , " she said . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and central bank governors ' meeting in Washington , in April - Ken Cedeno/Reuters Gold hit an all-time high this afternoon but stock markets on both sides of the Atlantic dropped . Investors turned to the safe-haven metal after the US began a cycle of interest-rate cuts . Gold is currently at $2,621 an ounce , up 1.1pc today . The price has risen 36pc over the past year . The metal becomes a more attractive store of wealth when interest rates are lower , because gold does not pay interest or dividends . But Fawad Razaqzada , market analyst at City Index , said that foreign policy is also boosting gold : Geopolitical risks , such as ongoing conflicts in Gaza , Ukraine , and elsewhere , will ensure to sustain gold 's safe-haven demand . The rise in gold comes on a difficult day for stock markets . US and European stock markets retreated following a record-filled rally that was triggered by the interest rate cut . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sceptism over the Fed 's hopes for a so-called " soft landing " . He said : I am a little more sceptical than other people . I give it lower odds . I hope its true , but I 'm also more sceptical that inflation is going to go away so easily , not because it has n't come down - it has - and it can come down more . Kathleen Brooks , of trading platform XTB , told The Telegraph : Jamie Dimon saying that he is sceptical of the soft landing theory has n't helped sentiment . Also , Nvidia and other tech stocks are barometers of market sentiment these days and they have led the sell off in the US which has infiltrated sentiment to UK stocks . The Dow and the broad-based S&P 500 index tumbled following records the previous day in the wake of the Federal Reserve 's rate reduction and pledge of further cuts as inflation cools .

On the Continent , Germany 's Dax lost 1.4pc and France 's Cac 40 dropped 1.5pc . Susannah Streeter , of broker Hargreaves Lansdown , said : It 's a downbeat end to the week for the FTSE 100 . The blue-chip index has ended lower , dragged back by pessimistic consumers and more hawkish comments about the direction of interest rates . Retailers were on the back foot with investors assessing it could be tougher going ahead after the GfK 's Consumer Confidence Barometer fell further into negative territory last month . Catherine Mann , a key policymaker at the Bank of England also warned that persistent inflationary pressures may mean borrowing costs will have to stay elevated for longer , adding to negative sentiment . The floor of the New York Stock Exchange yesterday - Spencer Platt/Getty Images The UK 's benchmark FTSE 100 stock index slipped on Friday , registering weekly declines , after hotter-than-expected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rise in the British pound pressured export-oriented companies . The FTSE 100 fell 1.2pc , while the more domestically-focussed midcap index lost 1.6pc . Both indexes marked weekly losses and their biggest one-day fall in almost seven weeks . British retail sales rose by a stronger-than-expected 1pc in August , beating forecasts for a monthly rise of 0.4pc and growth in July was revised up , data showed . The data provided an extra boost to the pound 's upbeat trend , which has risen to its highest level against the dollar since 2022 this week after the Federal Reserve cut rates by half a percentage point , while the Bank of England kept rates on hold at its meeting on Thursday . Friday 's declines were broad based , with all major sector indexes trading in the red , led by a 5pc drop in the " personal goods " index - made up of companies such as Watches of Switzerland , Dr Martens and Burberry .

It takes one generation to forget the dangers of a bubble , and it is Groundhog Day versus the 1990s Tech Bubble . Just as countries that go rogue become almost uninvestable , investors caught in the grips of a speculative fever become almost unanalysable . Bloomberg reported that Mr Bannister believes that the S&P 500 index will plunge to the " very low " 5,000s by the end of the year , suggesting around a 13pc decline . Groundhog Day is a 1993 movie in which a weatherman becomes trapped in a time loop . Wall Street slid this afternoon from yesterday 's record highs as the market knuckled down to the start of a rate reducing cycle that began with a mid-week jumbo cut by the US Federal Reserve .

All three major US stock indexes posted early losses but have still set a course to log weekly gains thanks to all-time highs hit on Thursday as buyers piled in to riskier assets . Marija Veitmane , head of equity research at State Street Global Markets , said : What Chairman Powell said was that they 're carefully watching the labour market , and if it slows too much they 're prepared to act . Powell also said that he does n't see the labour market as inflationary - that 's a positive message for risky assets . Some volatility is expected during the day , as options and futures linked to indexes and individual stocks are set to expire simultaneously , in an event called " triple witching " that falls on the third Friday of the last month of the quarter .

Gold has hit a record high this afternoon , in the aftermath of the Fed 's decision to cut interest rates . The safe-haven metal , which does not generate interest or dividends , can seem more appealing when interest rates are low . The gold price continues to surge and added another percent to this week 's gains with it trading in new record highs around the $2,615 per troy ounce mark .

The company said at its capital markets day in March that it expected the drug could achieve weight loss of 15pc of body weight , on par with its mega-blockbuster obesity injection Wegovy . But in the headline trial results released today , the once-daily pill resulted in only 6.5pc weight loss after 16 weeks . Novo Nordisk shares are down 5.9pc . That weight loss is " not what optimists are looking for " , Nordnet analysts said . " Competition is intensifying . Investors are getting more cautious about the potential . " Despite the lower than expected weight loss , Novo Nordisk said that based on the results of the trial , it will initiate a larger trial to further investigate dosage of the medication and the safety profile of the drug " over a longer duration in a global population " . It expects to begin that trial next year . The US central bank cut its key lending rate by half a percentage point earlier this week in its first reduction for more than four years , sharply lowering borrowing costs in a bid to boost the economy and support the cooling labor market . But despite recent progress , there is still reason to be cautious about the world 's largest economy , Fed governor Christopher Waller wrote in a paper co-authored with Andrew Figura , a senior economist at the bank . " The labour market is not fully back to where it was prior to the pandemic , and inflation remains significantly " above the Fed 's long-term inflation target of 2pc , they wrote . " As a result , it is possible that a soft landing will not occur , " they added , referring to a scenario where inflation eases to target with only a " noticeably smaller increase in unemployment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ despite this warning , Mr Waller and Mr Figura said most forecasters still expected a soft landing , with only a " modest " rise in the unemployment rate . " Clearly , they also believe that a soft landing in the labour market is possible , " they added . It is Friday , and after this week of all time highs on just about every index , it would n't surprise me that both investors and traders are taking a break . The S&P 500 is down 0.3pc , the Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 0.2pc and the Nasdaq Composite is down 0.4pc . FedEx dragged on the market with a drop of 14pc after its profit and revenue for the latest quarter fell short of analysts ' expectations . It said American customers sent fewer packages through priority services , while it had to contend with higher wages for workers and other costs . FedEx also cut its forecast for revenue growth for its financial year . Helping to offset that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it named Elliott Hill as its chief executive . Mr Hill , 60 , had spent more than three decades at Nike in various leadership positions before retiring in 2020. Shares of Donald Trump 's social media company slumped to their lowest level ever after Wall Street opened this afternoon . Today is the first day that the former US president , the biggest shareholder , is free to sell his stake in the company behind the Truth Social platform . Shares of Trump Media tumbled almost 7pc , putting the value of the company at less than ? 2.25bn . Trump owns more than half of it . Trump and other insiders in the company have been unable to cash in on the highly volatile stock due standard lock-up agreements that prevent big stakeholders from selling stakes for a set period after a company becomes publicly traded . Trump Media began trading publicly in March . One week ago , the company 's shares jumped nearly 12pc after Trump said he would n't sell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more than 10pc following the debate earlier this month between Trump and the Democrats ' nominee , Vice President Kamala Harris . In mid-July , shares climbed more than 31c in the first day of trading following the first assassination attempt on Trump . Trump Media is now worth considerably less than several months ago . When the company made its debut on the Nasdaq in March , shares hit a high of $79.38. Investors will be hoping to hear some reassurance from furniture giant DFS after the chain warned its profits are being squeezed by shipping delays and record low levels of demand among sofa-buyers . The London-listed business will report its full-year financial results on Wednesday . It comes after the chain has lowered its profit expectations twice this year as economic conditions turned out to be tougher than it had expected .

Meanwhile , the furniture seller has also warned over softer demand for upholstery with buyers holding back on making more expensive purchases . But shareholders could be hoping for signs of recovery in the market , with consumers benefiting from a sharp drop in inflation and interest rates starting to come down . The group is expecting revenues for the year to total between ? 995m and ? 1bn , following a series of downgrades from an initial forecast of up to ? 1.1bn.

The FTSE 100 , Germany 's Dax and France 's Cac 40 are all down 1.2pc . The S&P 500 is down 0.4pc , the Dow is down 0.2pc and the Nasdaq is down 0.3pc.

They choose between approved providers and receive regular notification of their fund 's current worth . They can switch between providers at set intervals . Madsen Pirie , the author , told The Telegraph : This would create massive investment funds to boost the market , and would free government from the future burden of supplying unfunded pensions at massive cost to taxpayers . It would push a wall of money onto the stock exchange , giving it just the boost it needs at a challenging time . It 's a win-win policy he pointed out , without any losers .

A closed nuclear plant in Pennsylvania is to reopen after Microsoft signed a deal to buy the power it generates . The Three Mile Island nuclear plant closed in 2019 after owner Constellation Energy concluded that running it was no longer economic . But it will reopen in 2028 after Microsoft agreed to buy its output for over two decades . Constellation is investing $1.6bn to upgrade the plant . This will be the first ever restart of a nuclear power plant in the US after shutting , and shows how utilities are benefiting from a massive surge in demand from data-centre operators looking to ride a boom in artificial intelligence .

In a report where HSBC suggests the Bank of England could look to cut rates at every meeting next year , analysts have some interesting conclusions : " UK GDP may have flatlined in recent readings , and sentiment may not be great ahead of the Budget . But there has been better news on inflation , and we now think the BoE will be able to cut by another 100bp by the end of 2025 versus our previous forecast , helping to lift growth , particularly in 2026 .

" Public debt as a share of the economy has hit 100pc for the first time since the 1960s , in a psychologically important moment that underscores the challenge facing the Chancellor ahead of her October 30 fiscal statement , Szu Ping Chan reports . Official figures showed public borrowing is ? 6.2bn higher than expected this year , with debt now equalling the size of the economy . The Office for National Statistics ( ONS ) said the increase was driven in August by " higher spending on public services " , including pay and benefits , with the government borrowing ? 13.7bn in August to plug the gap between taxes and spending.This is higher than the ? 11.2bn forecast by the Office for Budget Responsibility ( OBR ) , the government 's tax and spending watchdog , and represents the third highest August borrowing since monthly records began in January 1993 .

In her speech , she said : " Why was it not good policy for me to vote @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the August stance , if I thought that was the appropriate level for Bank Rate ? " In fact , in August , I did contemplate a cut at that meeting , as the bite from housing costs was becoming deeper and more widespread but was dissuaded by the balance of factors already mentioned , as well as a generalized easing in global conditions that affected UK rates too .

Two-year mortgage deals are looking more competitive for buyers , amid growing expectations that the Bank of England will cut interest rates again this year . Rates of shorter term deals are now falling faster than those for longer terms for the first time in two years , according to data from Moneyfacts . Santander this week started offering a two-year deal of less than 4pc , while other lenders including HSBC , NatWest and Virgin Money have also cut rates over the past week . The moves come amid growing expectations that the Bank of England will be able to lower interest rates further in the coming months .

" Tim Wallace , the Telegraph 's deputy economics editor , has more on the borrowing figures here : In June of 2023 , for instance , the national debt was thought to have grown larger than the economy .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'opting out of' followed by a gerund phrase 'purchasing big ticket or luxury items', which does not involve a causer and causee relationship or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'opting out of' here simply indicates a choice not to participate in an activity, not a construction where an agent causes another to move out of or prevents them from an action.

The Bank of England could cut interest rates to 2.75pc next year , analysts have suggested , amid growing confidence that the worst of Britain 's inflationary crisis is over . Policymakers are likely to cut interest rates at November 's meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee ( MPC ) and then again at every meeting next year from February , according to analysts from HSBC . It follows a decision by the Bank of England 's MPC earlier this week to keep rates on hold at 5pc . The Bank Rate had surged as high as 5.25pc following a series of rises over the past few years to try keep a lid on inflation . Last month , the Bank of England cut interest rates for the first time in four years . " With most indicators pointing to a cooling in the labour market , we and BoE have become more confident that the worst of the inflation pressures - and the risk of them becoming entrenched - is behind us . Given this , the current policy rate looks some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ statement from the Monetary Policy Committee suggested that rate setters were not in " the mood to move quickly " . However , the analysts said : " Given our own forecast that CPI inflation will rise back to 2.9pc by January next year ( perhaps a touch above the Bank of England 's expectation ) , it might be February before the MPC has sufficient confidence for back-to-back rate cuts taking Bank Rate to 2.75pc in December next year . " Christine Lagarde has said she was " shocked " by Germans ' enthusiastic use of cash when she moved to Frankfurt to head the European Central Bank . Tim Wallace reports : " I was shocked when I moved to Frankfurt to see how much was paid in banknotes . You had better have a big wallet , because a lot is paid in banknotes , " she said . " The citizens are attached to banknotes . You go to Sweden or to the Netherlands @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ send you off , bring your phone , do n't you have another way to pay ? " The ECB President is looking into creating a central bank digital currency , but said citizens are worried about the privacy of the system . " The main concern people have is privacy - Big Brother is going to see where I spend my money , " she told an audience at the International Monetary Fund in Washington . " You know what , there are a few Big Brothers when you use your bank account or when you use other devices who know where you are spending your money , know what you are interested in and will send you instantly all those ads and nice proposals . " But the concern about the state - the assumption is the central bank will communicate all information collected to the state - will be privy to how you spend your money is something that is very very critical for citizens . " In her lecture to the IMF , Ms Lagarde warned that the inflation shock may @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an era where inflation is more volatile and monetary policy transmission more uncertain , maintaining this deep anchor for price formation will be essential , " she said , referring to the expectation among households and businesses that central banks will always raise interest rates to crush inflation . She also compared the 2020s to the 1920s , citing similarities including pandemics , a reversal of globalisation , and rapid technological progress . But she also raised the hope that central banks have learned their lesson from that era and should be able to avoid the " series of wrong turns " which tipped much of the world into the Great Depression . The Federal Reserve 's big interest rate cut this week is not a sign that the US economy is " falling behind , " Fed governor Christopher Waller said in an interview this afternoon . He told CNBC : It 's not about reacting to , or falling behind or anything like that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mr Waller was responding to arguments that the central bank should not do a half percentage point rate cut - instead opting for a smaller reduction - as this would be a sign of economic weakness . Citing a speech he made earlier this year , Mr Waller stressed that the Fed could cut rates even if the economy was doing fine . " And that 's the position we 're in , " he said , noting that inflation is cooling while the labour market remains solid . Central banks face a " difficult balancing act " as they start lowering interest rates around the world in the face of falling inflation , the head of the IMF said at an event this afternoon . Central banks on both sides of the Atlantic have cut rates this year , with the US Federal Reserve reducing its key lending rate by half a percentage point earlier this week in a bid to boost demand , following in the footsteps of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as they do so they must tread carefully , International Monetary Fund boss Kristalina Georgieva said at an event with ECB president Christine Lagarde in Washington . Ms Georgieva said : Central banks face a difficult balancing act . They must ensure that inflation sustainably returns to target and remains there , while avoiding the risk of excessively tight policies . While clearly weaker than we would have wanted , economic activity has been remarkably resilient , While inflation is retreating , rates are going down . Recession appears to be unlikely . The ECB has cut rates twice this year , while the Bank of England voted on Thursday to leave rates unchanged after just one cut , as UK inflation remained above-target . Ms Lagarde said that the ECB 's " determined policy actions have successfully kept inflation expectations anchored , " adding that inflation remains on track to hit its two percent target in the middle of next year . " But is the uncertainty gone ? No , there is still plenty of that around , " she said . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and central bank governors ' meeting in Washington , in April - Ken Cedeno/Reuters Gold hit an all-time high this afternoon but stock markets on both sides of the Atlantic dropped . Investors turned to the safe-haven metal after the US began a cycle of interest-rate cuts . Gold is currently at $2,621 an ounce , up 1.1pc today . The price has risen 36pc over the past year . The metal becomes a more attractive store of wealth when interest rates are lower , because gold does not pay interest or dividends . But Fawad Razaqzada , market analyst at City Index , said that foreign policy is also boosting gold : Geopolitical risks , such as ongoing conflicts in Gaza , Ukraine , and elsewhere , will ensure to sustain gold 's safe-haven demand . The rise in gold comes on a difficult day for stock markets . US and European stock markets retreated following a record-filled rally that was triggered by the interest rate cut . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sceptism over the Fed 's hopes for a so-called " soft landing " . He said : I am a little more sceptical than other people . I give it lower odds . I hope its true , but I 'm also more sceptical that inflation is going to go away so easily , not because it has n't come down - it has - and it can come down more . Kathleen Brooks , of trading platform XTB , told The Telegraph : Jamie Dimon saying that he is sceptical of the soft landing theory has n't helped sentiment . Also , Nvidia and other tech stocks are barometers of market sentiment these days and they have led the sell off in the US which has infiltrated sentiment to UK stocks . The Dow and the broad-based S&P 500 index tumbled following records the previous day in the wake of the Federal Reserve 's rate reduction and pledge of further cuts as inflation cools .

The blue-chip index has ended lower , dragged back by pessimistic consumers and more hawkish comments about the direction of interest rates . Retailers were on the back foot with investors assessing it could be tougher going ahead after the GfK 's Consumer Confidence Barometer fell further into negative territory last month . Catherine Mann , a key policymaker at the Bank of England also warned that persistent inflationary pressures may mean borrowing costs will have to stay elevated for longer , adding to negative sentiment . The floor of the New York Stock Exchange yesterday - Spencer Platt/Getty Images The UK 's benchmark FTSE 100 stock index slipped on Friday , registering weekly declines , after hotter-than-expected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rise in the British pound pressured export-oriented companies . The FTSE 100 fell 1.2pc , while the more domestically-focussed midcap index lost 1.6pc . Both indexes marked weekly losses and their biggest one-day fall in almost seven weeks . British retail sales rose by a stronger-than-expected 1pc in August , beating forecasts for a monthly rise of 0.4pc and growth in July was revised up , data showed . The data provided an extra boost to the pound 's upbeat trend , which has risen to its highest level against the dollar since 2022 this week after the Federal Reserve cut rates by half a percentage point , while the Bank of England kept rates on hold at its meeting on Thursday . Friday 's declines were broad based , with all major sector indexes trading in the red , led by a 5pc drop in the " personal goods " index - made up of companies such as Watches of Switzerland , Dr Martens and Burberry .

It takes one generation to forget the dangers of a bubble , and it is Groundhog Day versus the 1990s Tech Bubble . Just as countries that go rogue become almost uninvestable , investors caught in the grips of a speculative fever become almost unanalysable . Bloomberg reported that Mr Bannister believes that the S&P 500 index will plunge to the " very low " 5,000s by the end of the year , suggesting around a 13pc decline . Groundhog Day is a 1993 movie in which a weatherman becomes trapped in a time loop . Wall Street slid this afternoon from yesterday 's record highs as the market knuckled down to the start of a rate reducing cycle that began with a mid-week jumbo cut by the US Federal Reserve . With the long-awaited decision made , markets mulled the motivations for the move , which Fed chairman Jerome Powell indicated should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an emergency response to weaker jobs data . All three major US stock indexes posted early losses but have still set a course to log weekly gains thanks to all-time highs hit on Thursday as buyers piled in to riskier assets . Marija Veitmane , head of equity research at State Street Global Markets , said : What Chairman Powell said was that they 're carefully watching the labour market , and if it slows too much they 're prepared to act . Powell also said that he does n't see the labour market as inflationary - that 's a positive message for risky assets . Some volatility is expected during the day , as options and futures linked to indexes and individual stocks are set to expire simultaneously , in an event called " triple witching " that falls on the third Friday of the last month of the quarter . The dollar strengthened this afternoon against the yen after the Bank of Japan left interest rates unchanged and indicated that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . The Bank of Japan could afford to spend time eyeing the fallout from global economic uncertainties , its governor , Kazuo Ueda , said . The BOJ had kept rates steady at 0.25pc as widely expected .

Gold has hit a record high this afternoon , in the aftermath of the Fed 's decision to cut interest rates . The safe-haven metal , which does not generate interest or dividends , can seem more appealing when interest rates are low . The gold price continues to surge and added another percent to this week 's gains with it trading in new record highs around the $2,615 per troy ounce mark .

But in the headline trial results released today , the once-daily pill resulted in only 6.5pc weight loss after 16 weeks . Novo Nordisk shares are down 5.9pc . That weight loss is " not what optimists are looking for " , Nordnet analysts said . " Competition is intensifying . Investors are getting more cautious about the potential . " Despite the lower than expected weight loss , Novo Nordisk said that based on the results of the trial , it will initiate a larger trial to further investigate dosage of the medication and the safety profile of the drug " over a longer duration in a global population " . It expects to begin that trial next year . The US central bank cut its key lending rate by half a percentage point earlier this week in its first reduction for more than four years , sharply lowering borrowing costs in a bid to boost the economy and support the cooling labor market . But despite recent progress , there is still reason to be cautious about the world 's largest economy , Fed governor Christopher Waller wrote in a paper co-authored with Andrew Figura , a senior economist at the bank . " The labour market is not fully back to where it was prior to the pandemic , and inflation remains significantly " above the Fed 's long-term inflation target of 2pc , they wrote . " As a result , it is possible that a soft landing will not occur , " they added , referring to a scenario where inflation eases to target with only a " noticeably smaller increase in unemployment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ despite this warning , Mr Waller and Mr Figura said most forecasters still expected a soft landing , with only a " modest " rise in the unemployment rate . " Clearly , they also believe that a soft landing in the labour market is possible , " they added . It is Friday , and after this week of all time highs on just about every index , it would n't surprise me that both investors and traders are taking a break . The S&P 500 is down 0.3pc , the Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 0.2pc and the Nasdaq Composite is down 0.4pc . FedEx dragged on the market with a drop of 14pc after its profit and revenue for the latest quarter fell short of analysts ' expectations . It said American customers sent fewer packages through priority services , while it had to contend with higher wages for workers and other costs .

Official figures showed public borrowing is ? 6.2bn higher than expected this year , with debt now equalling the size of the economy . The Office for National Statistics ( ONS ) said the increase was driven in August by " higher spending on public services " , including pay and benefits , with the government borrowing ? 13.7bn in August to plug the gap between taxes and spending.This is higher than the ? 11.2bn forecast by the Office for Budget Responsibility ( OBR ) , the government 's tax and spending watchdog , and represents the third highest August borrowing since monthly records began in January 1993 .

Catherine Mann has given more detail on why she decided to vote to keep BoE rates on hold in Lithuania this morning . In her speech , she said : " Why was it not good policy for me to vote @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the August stance , if I thought that was the appropriate level for Bank Rate ? " In fact , in August , I did contemplate a cut at that meeting , as the bite from housing costs was becoming deeper and more widespread but was dissuaded by the balance of factors already mentioned , as well as a generalized easing in global conditions that affected UK rates too . " If I had voted to hike in the meeting just past only to cut sometime soon hence , this would be the ' boogie-dance ' with policy rates that I eschewed in my Lamfalussy speech in February 2023. " Elsewhere , overnight , Industry Editor Matt Oliver reported on Sir Jim Ratcliffe 's car company being forced to halt production as the supplier of a crucial component used in its vehicles battles possible bankruptcy . Ineos Automotive , part of the billionaire 's chemicals empire , said it had temporarily stopped making Grenadier SUVs and Quartermaster pickup trucks at its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ critical component shortage " .

But production might not resume until late this year or early 2025 , she warned . Bank of England policymaker Catherine Mann has said she is taking a " guarded view " on multiple interest rate cuts in the coming months . In a speech due to be delivered in Lithuania today , Ms Mann said : " While agreeing with the majority for a hold at the meeting just concluded , I have a guarded view on initiating a cutting cycle . " A risk management assessment implies that it is better , under inflation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tail risks to the inflation process dissipate , and then to cut more aggressively .

Two-year mortgage deals are looking more competitive for buyers , amid growing expectations that the Bank of England will cut interest rates again this year . Rates of shorter term deals are now falling faster than those for longer terms for the first time in two years , according to data from Moneyfacts . Santander this week started offering a two-year deal of less than 4pc , while other lenders including HSBC , NatWest and Virgin Money have also cut rates over the past week . The moves come amid growing expectations that the Bank of England will be able to lower interest rates further in the coming months . The Bank of England cut rates for the first time in four years last month . The markets are still expecting two more cuts before the end of the year . The hopes were boosted earlier this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the Consumer Prices Index ( CPI ) , rose by 2.2pc in the year to August . This was unchanegd from July .

" Overall , I think there 's an optimistic mood about where we 're heading , and lowering mortgage rates is supporting the increased home-moving activity we 're seeing right now , particularly against last year . " Tim Wallace , the Telegraph 's deputy economics editor , has more on the borrowing figures here : In June of 2023 , for instance , the national debt was thought to have grown larger than the economy . The same was claimed in 2020 amid plunging GDP and ballooning debt . But the calculation relies on both debt and on GDP , each of which is revised as more data comes in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ratio down , and on other occasions it turns out the Government spent less than initially thought , or tax receipts came in higher than was first estimated . City grandees and influential economists have urged the Chancellor to give a message of hope after consumer confidence sunk in September . Sir Philip Hampton , the former chairman of Royal Bank of Scotland , GSK and Sainsbury 's , told The Telegraph : " The more politicians are gloomy of course the more these sort of animal instincts are going to be constrained . " I do think that there 's a job of political leadership to remind people that innovation , discovery and change can happen even within a very financially constrained Government .

Speaking during a visit to the company 's factory in Emden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the right market signals , including making it more attractive to switch to electric cars . However , he said there were some limits to what the Government could do , telling reporters : " A large part of the tasks have to be dealt with by Volkswagen itself . This is the company 's job . " It comes after the German media reported that Volkswagen was considering axing as many as 30,000 jobs to cope with the slowdown in the car market . The company is considering closing some of its German factories for the first time in history , with Manager Magazin , a leading German business publication , suggesting 30,000 roles could go . A spokesman for the company earlier this week said : " We do not confirm the figure . One thing is clear : Volkswagen has to reduce its costs at its German sites .

He is poised to take over on October 14 It comes as the latest bid by Nike to revive sales , following months of waning demand among shoppers . Analysts have attributed the decline to the lack of new innovative products being released by Nike . In June , shares slumped by a fifth as it warned sales were likely to fall this year by a mid-single digit percentage . Nike The troubled utility giant said it was exploring options for extending its liquidity runway , with creditors drawing up a rescue package . It comes after news of the talks emerged last night , with the Telegraph reporting that Thames Water was seeking to delay repayments until after Ofwat 's decision on how much the utility can increase bills by over the next five years . This is expected to come in January and is set to be critical in whether Britain 's biggest water company will be able to raise fresh funds or not . A source close to the company told the newspaper : " This is about trying to push back the loans as they fall due to extend our liquidity runway . " It comes amid growing concerns that Thames Water is heading for nationalisation . The move is thought to be almost inevitable if Thames Water fails to secure fresh investment as it struggles under the weight of a ? 16bn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their footing , bolstered by the Bank of England 's first rate cut since 2020 , which has eased mortgage pressures and sparked renewed confidence in the UK 's economic outlook .

" Separately , new figures have come out this morning on public borrowing , showing the deficit came in at ? 64.1bn between April and August this year . It meant UK borrowing overshot forecasts by more than ? 6bn over the summer . Darren Jones , chief secretary to the Treasury , said : " When we came into office , we inherited an economy that was n't working for working people . Today 's data shows the highest August borrowing on record , outside the pandemic . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the 1960s . Because of the ? 22bn black hole in our public finances we have inherited this year alone , we are now taking the tough decisions now to fix the foundations of our economy , so we can rebuild Britain and make every part of the country better off . " Reacting to the ONS retail sales figures this morning , Oliver Vernon-Harcourt , head of retail at Deloitte , said : " The late arrival of sunshine and the busy agenda of sporting events in August gave a much-needed lift to UK retail sales , with consumers spending more on summer clothing ranges and food for outdoor socialising . " The first cut in interest rates in four years last month saw a rebound in the property market , which might have led to the growth in sales of household goods . " While many consumers remain cautious and are opting out of purchasing big ticket or luxury items , some are still treating themselves by spending on little luxuries @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ items in personal care and in premium food categories .

The sentence 'Conversations about the cost of gaming have been raging for decades now, but will this current crop of price rises finally start forcing people out of gaming for good?' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('this current crop of price rises') + V1 ('forcing') + NP object ('people') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('gaming for good'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the price rises are preventing people from continuing to game. The verb 'forcing' falls under the category of exerting force or pressure, which is one of the classifications for verbs in the V1 slot. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

It 's an expensive time to be a gamer . Last week , Sony revealed that the mid-cycle upgrade for the PlayStation 5 ( the PS5 Pro ) will cost ? 300 more than the original -- and wo n't even include a disc drive . Over at Xbox , the popular Game Pass subscription service has locked more than 40 games and all future blockbuster releases behind its new top-tier plan . Add to that a similarly hefty increase to Sony 's online offering PS+ , a steadily increasing RRP for new games and the FOMO-inducing pre-order bonuses that most titles now offer and your monthly gaming budget will start to seem pitifully meagre . Do not get us started on in-game microtransactions either . So , what 's causing this sudden squeeze on gamers , who are the main culprits and is the industry at risk of pricing out anyone who 's not a millionaire ? One big ( and obvious reason ) is inflation . Basically , everything gets more expensive over time , including the cost @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them should go up too . But the gaming industry has reported massive earning increases for the past three years , including another record-breaking year in 2023 . The need to jack-up prices obviously is n't just coming from a place of necessity anymore . " Inflation plays a part for sure , but I think gaming is also taking a lesson from the playbooks of streaming services : how much can you degrade a service and how much can you charge for it before people wo n't pay for it anymore , " says journalist and co-founder of gaming publication Aftermath , Riley Macleod . Advertisement " All of this is in the service of shareholders and paying exorbitant CEO salaries , " he argues .

" Sam Naji is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on gaming data analysis , and believes that a lot of these conversations about cost have come about because of the divide between casual and hardcore gamers . " Video gaming today is expensive , but it has always been expensive , " he tells NME .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'most people' is the NP object and 'enjoying the experience' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. The verb 'priced' implies a means of exerting force or pressure (metaphorically), fitting one of the verb categories. The interpretation is prevention, as the high price prevents people from enjoying the experience. The NP object 'most people' functions as a causee, participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

If you want a money-no-object analog camera , the Leica MP is one of the best options that 's still available to buy new . Sadly , most people will be priced out , but the lucky few will be rewarded with a premium-quality all-metal camera that runs super-smoothly . Taking pictures with a camera like the Leica MP rangefinder is a slow and challenging process that you 'll either love or hate . As such and with its high price tag , you should probably try before you buy -- it 's not a camera for everyone , nor for all occasions . However , if it hits the spot , it could just renew your love for photography . If there 's one antidote to today 's digital imaging with its instant gratification and AI-powered editing trickery , it 's analog . And if you want a double dose of the old school , a fully manual rangefinder , such as the Leica MP , will do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the MP is n't as old as it looks , being released as recently as 2003 , and it 's one of few Leica cameras still being produced today and is therefore available new . It 's arguably the best premium film camera that you can buy new today , but like most Leica 's , its price is eye-watering , being available from the Leica stores and leading retailers for $5,995 / ? , 5080 / AU$10,190 , and that 's without a lens . I had the MP with the 28mm f2 Summicron-M APSH lens which is around the same price as the camera . Gulp . Suppose it 's the retro camera experience you 're after , and the same 35mm film format hits the spot . In that case , you can find alternative analog cameras elsewhere , secondhand , for a mere fraction of the cost of a Leica MP . But Leica is more than just the retro look . It 's an aspiration . That famed red dot means something , whatever depth the admirer 's connection is . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ means a premium " Handmade in Germany " analog camera that runs as smooth as butter . Learning the exposure triangle is necessary ; how shutter speed , aperture , and the ISO of the loaded film interplay . You can download a free light meter on your phone to take a light reading and adjust shutter speed or aperture accordingly based on the film 's ISO , or purchase a dedicated light meter if you want to avoid your phone altogether and be assured that you 've bagged the correct brightness in your photo , even if you wo n't truly know until the developed film is returned . ( The MP does also have an LED gauge built into the viewfinder that indicates how much you need to brighten or darken your exposure settings based on its evaluative metering . ) Beyond the exposure triangle , it 's the manual focus experience of a Leica rangefinder , such as the MP , that is as challenging as it is addictive . This is a far cry from 2024 's best autofocus systems -- there 's no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ system that 's limited between focal lengths of 21mm to 135mm , it 's unsuitable for many genres of photography . You wo n't be able to nail sharply focused , shallow depth of field portraits of people or animals on the move , unless you get really , really lucky .

Taking a picture with a rangefinder is slow , purposeful , and frustrating but ultimately a wonderful creative process for those who persevere . It 's not a camera for all the time , but it is a camera that could just renew your love for photography . Sadly , however , with the Leica MP , most people are priced out of enjoying the experience .

On the Leica store , it costs $5,995 / ? , 5080 / AU$10,190 . Lens choice is decent , if costly , with the lower end of the price range close to the price of the MP camera itself . There are third party lens makers such as Thypoch that have created Leica M-mount lenses that cost a mere fraction of the price . with a number available for under $1,000 / ? 700 . The MP is also compatible with a host of Leica accessories , ranging from leather cases to viewfinders that are dedicated to specific lens focal lengths . Stunning all-metal build Can be bought new and its mechanics are reliable Supported by a range of Leica M lenses Leica cameras are expensive , but the build quality of these " Handmade in Germany " devices is undeniable . Every mechanical component runs as smooth as butter , from the film crank to move onto your next photo , to the film rewind mechanism once the roll is done . You @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ power the camera 's evaluative exposure metering , which is displayed in the viewfinder as a too-bright / too-dark scale and is linked to the ISO setting on the camera 's rear ISO dial ( the new Leica M11-D digital rangefinder 's design pays homage to this ) . However , as a fully manual camera , you 'll need to adjust the shutter speed and aperture yourself . I always use a separate light meter with a Leica just to be doubly sure I 've set the exposure correctly . But you 'll need to insert a roll of 35mm film first . Leica 's design ethos here is simple and reliable ; a fully metal twist lock on the underside must be unscrewed to open up the camera 's underside , and you remove the entire bottom plate to gain access to the film 's holder . Inserting the film thereafter is a tad fiddly but in truth , once you 've done it a couple of times , it 's pretty easy . ( Image credit : Future Tim Coleman ) I only tested @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ again , is a gorgeous bit of kit , offering a generous manual focus grip , handy focus distance scale , and an aperture ring . With Leica you get the whole package ; a lens and camera built to high standards and with a complimentary aesthetic . There 's little to say about the camera 's external controls . You 've got the shutter speed dial on the top , the beautiful film crank that reveals its brass innards through the scuffs picked up over time and heavy use , a shutter button that can accept a screw-in cable release , plus the ISO dial on the camera 's rear . The aperture is adjusted on the attached lens . For me , it 's the experience of manually focusing with a rangefinder that is everything about the MP : it 's as frustrating as it is addictive . For all the will and the practice in the world , you wo n't be able to nail sharp focus on a moving subject when focusing closely and with a wide aperture and therefore shallow depth of field @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and speed at which you can obtain sharp focus , but ultimately , the Leica MP is a camera that slows you down , and in today 's fast-paced world , it 's cathartic . If you 're taking portrait pictures , too , that extra moment it takes to get your MP 's settings correct can open up your subject as they relax and give you a window to their soul -- you 're in it together . Or , the slow process just makes them feel super awkward instead , or you miss the moment . It can go either way . ( Image credit : Future Tim Coleman ) Superbly sharp lenses on offer Reliable mechanics Shutter speed maxes out at 1/1000sec which is limiting in bright light One benefit in choosing the MP over another Leica is that it 's still available new , and with that comes certain reassurances that you may not be afforded when buying secondhand should you run into any issues . However , I would n't expect that of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you a lifetime . Naturally , the quality of the photos produced by an analog camera is determined by the lens attached , your shooting technique , and , of course , your film choice . The Leica MP enjoys a range of excellent albeit eye-wateringly expensive lenses , like the 28mm f2 Summicron-M ASPH that I had for this review . If money is no object , you can pick up a range of Leica M prime lenses that cover the focal range of 21mm to 135mm . Next time I use a Leica analog camera , I 'd really love to try a 50mm f/1.4-type lens and some of the other lenses for portraits , but the wide angle lens I had for testing is similar if a tiny bit tighter to the field of view of your phone 's main camera and an excellent documentary lens . Here lies the ' Leica quality ' that fans talk about . Sure , you 'll struggle to beat Leica 's sharpness in the analog game , but if you 're expecting the clarity you get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ might have to think again . One thing that digital can try with all its might yet never quite achieve , however , is the film look . You are n't buying an analog Leica for its outright image quality over a digital counterpart such as the Leica M11 . No , you 're buying it because it 's film that you want to explore , including its imperfect quality . Plus , it 's a rewarding hobby , if you can stomach the ongoing costs of film and development . Image 1 of 9 ( Image credit : Future Tim Coleman ) ( Image credit : Future Tim Coleman ) ( Image credit : Future Tim Coleman ) ( Image credit : Future Tim Coleman ) ( Image credit : Future Tim Coleman ) ( Image credit : Future Tim Coleman ) ( Image credit : Future Tim Coleman ) ( Image credit : Future Tim Coleman ) ( Image credit : Future Tim Coleman ) The above photos were made with a very out of date @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's best practice to use a film within date , but you can get some whacky one-of-a-kind effects . Sadly on this occasion , besides a purple-ish hue , the risk did n't pay off -- many of the photos came out underexposed . There are very real limits to the Leica MP , namely its maximum shutter speed which is just 1/1000sec . If you 're shooting in bright light and with a wide aperture -- like I wanted to shoot at f2 with the 28mm lens -- you 'll need an ISO 100 film or even slower . However , ISO 400 is a more versatile film speed if you 're going to be shooting in mixed lighting . Once the film roll is inserted , you 're locked in , you ca n't switch ISO for every photo like you can with a digital camera . It 's all-metal , runs smoothly and it 's available new -- that 's more than can be said for most analog cameras in 2024 . You 're a documentary photographer The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ telling stories of the every day . You 're not made of money Once you buy the Leica MP and one lens , you 're down by about $12,000 / ? 10,000 / AU$20,000 . Additional lenses will skyrocket the cost , and then there 's the ongoing cost of film and development . You 're buying an analog camera for the first time Given the exorbitant cost of the Leica MP , it 's a high-risk item if you 're simply exploring analog for the first time , which could be an experience that you might not like over digital . You photograph moving things You can set the lens to f/11 and the focus distance to near infinity and just about everything will be in focus , but for close subjects and shallow depth of field , its extremely difficult to nail sharp focus when subjects are on the move . ( Image credit : Future Tim Coleman ) Regular use over the course of two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Both color and black and white film developed Leica loaned me the MP together with the 28mm f2 Summicron-M ASPH lens for two weeks , during which time I photographed everything from sweeping vistas to busy London street scenes .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not exhibit either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it discusses removing a factor ('ewww factor') from a topic ('talking about vaginas'), which does not align with the transitive out of -ing construction's properties.

The Voice judge has had a tough year ahead of appearing on the hit ITV show , undergoing surgery in January . The country singer , 41 , went under the knife after doctors found precancerous cells following a smear test . LeAnn revealed she had been receiving abnormal rests on her tests for years , back to when she was 17 and doctors had been keeping a close eye on her . The Ca n't Fight the Moonlight star said she had been diagnosed with ' high grade cervical dysplasia ' , which without treatment could develop into cervical cancer . She spoke out about her ' challenging ' time as she encouraged other women to go and get tested . She also revealed that she now has to undergo cervical screening checks every three months for a year .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'runs out of' which is a phrasal verb indicating depletion, not a transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'interesting deaths to write about' is an NP complement, not a VP[-ing] predicate, and there is no NP object functioning as a causee. Therefore, it does not meet the criteria for the transitive out of -ing construction.

Places in some of the best footballing squads in recent memory : Real Madrid with Cristiano Ronaldo , Karim Benzema , Gareth Bale and Luka Modric ; PSG with Kylian Mbapp ? , Neymar and Edinson Cavani .

Call it the House of Cards effect . Designated Survivor is schlockier than its David Fincher directed predecessor , and also asks more of our suspension of disbelief , centring on the sole surviving member of Congress -- played like the virtuous hero of an Aaron Sorkin film by Kiefer Sutherland -- in the wake of a massive terrorist attack that sees him ascend to the Oval Office overnight . It 's surprisingly fun , given the glum premise . But it 'll never happen IRL . Right ? You can watch Designated Survivor on Netflix . Justin Downing/Netflix 4/60 Jeff Goldblum , stalking around Mount Olympus in designer tracksuits , all despotic and toddler-esque , plays a Zeus who goes a bit off on one after a prophecy of his downfall seems to start coming true . An expansive series that twists a few different narratives together across the heavens , the earth and the underworld , incorporating plenty of proper ancient Greek myth along the way . It 's a spacier , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Goldblum .

With a cast led by Nicole Kidman and including the likes of Liev Schreiber and Eve Hewson ( excellent in her own right in Bad Sisters -- second season incoming ) , this always stood a good chance of succeeding as a series . Pair that cast with a pacy plot and it 's nigh-on inevitable . No. 1 show on Netflix right now ? Duh ! You can watch The Perfect Couple of Netflix . 6/60 Brassic has been around for a while , but it 's only recently been added to Netflix .

There 's nothing quite like a good detective drama to settle down to as the darker , colder nights come in , and no one does them better than the BBC . Set in a lovingly-rendered 1960s north-east of England and just arrived in the land of Netflix , this is your cosy autumn and winter viewing sorted .

They become friends , but one does n't realise that the other is the cause of her grief , having killed her husband in a hit-and-run incident . An absolute stonker of a time bomb that ticks excruciatingly throughout the series . I wo n't tell you whether or not it goes off .

His right-on politics , his big cuddly frame , his incredibly moving book about the death of his young son . You just want to squeeze the guy . London-based teacher Sharon Horgan gives his travelling American salesman character a special grown-up kind of squeeze at the beginning of catastrophe , and when she decides to keep the resulting baby , he moves to London to help her raise it . What follows is several seasons of gentle comedy interlaced with carefully-judged moments of drama . ( It 's a dramedy , to use the modern parlance . ) So sometimes some angry shouting , as well as hugs . But it 's ok . It 's Rob Delaney @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ How does she get so high ? There are other , deeper questions at play in Simone Biles Rising , but this is the one you 're going to be asking the most often . As we 've just seen in her gold-medal-winning display in the Olympics , Biles can jump and flip and twist like nobody 's business . As well as being a study of her extraordinary talent , this series examines the life of the modern megastar athlete -- relentless social media criticism included . Biles is frank about how such cruelty from strangers has affected her mental health , and one gets the sense she might 've said yes to the series because it presented a chance to get the last word , and offer a more definitive perspective on her career than a few trolls on Twitter can offer . It 's an opportunity she deserves , and one she takes with typical success . You can watch Simone Biles Rising onNetflix . 13/60 I know , I know , another Black Death comedy . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I promise . A group of fancy uppity folk and their servants flee to a villa in Tuscany to wait out the pandemic , having lots of wine and sex and arguments to help them pass the time .

You can watch The DecameronNetflix . 14/60 Toby Jones has got range . He 's played everyone 's favourite house elf ( Dobby ) , and everyone 's favourite activist postmaster , Alan Bates . What is this man 's specialty ? It 's like he spins a big wheel and just decides to play whatever the pointer lands on . Between Dobby and Alan Bates , it landed on Lance in Detectorists , a mild-mannered village Englishman with a nerdy hobby he 's very very into . It 's gentle watching for sure , but there 's something quite beautiful about it as a study of recreation , and the friendships it can maintain -- in this case , for Lance , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a lovely pair , and time spent in their televisual company is just very pleasant indeed . You can watch Detectorists on Netflix . 15/60 How much is greatness worth ? That 's the question this series is asking . To Michael Jordan , it 's worth everything , so he 'll do anything to get it . To everyone around him , it 's still worth an awful lot , but perhaps not quite everything -- and therein lies the rub . The Last Dance chronicles the Chicago Bulls ' ascent to greatness in the 1990s , with Jordan the star of a supremely talented team of players who were supremely dedicated , but still at times not quite dedicated enough for his liking . A fascinating study of individual obsession , competitiveness and teamwork , all revolving around one of the greatest athletes of all time . You can watch The Last Dance on Netflix . 16/60 Just a very BBC sort of show . Tip-top cast playing some very hard-working very received pronunciation people at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scandalous intrigue .

Spiffing ! You can watch The Hour on Netflix . 17/60 If you have n't seen Making a Murderer ... look it 's fine , just ... watch Making a Murderer . As well as being probably the original true crime documentary series and a massively gripping story of a rural Wisconsin man ( who has previously been wrongfully imprisoned for sexual assault and attempted murder ) ' s trial for another murder he 's absolutely insistent he did not commit , Making a Murderer can probably also lay a claim to being responsible for a big part of why confessions made under police questioning are no longer treated with the same impeachability they once were .

Jerry Seinfeld 's show was revolutionary . Watching it now , it 's genuinely astonishing how strongly his brand of humour seems to have influenced all of us today . You 're watching it , you 're looking at everyone 's clothes and lifestyles and the release date of the episodes , and you 're really struggling to believe that this is a show that came out in the 80s and 90s . But it did ! Thankfully Netflix have worked some crazy magic that means we 're able to watch it now , in 2024 . And we should .

That 's the point , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in history have admirably avoided glamourising their bottom-feeding bartenders as money and acclaim have come the way of the show . Even when Wrexham owner Rob Mcilhenny 's character Mac gets into incredible shape , he 's initially mocked for it in a season that then culminates in a stunning revelation of the precise necessity of his newly-muscled muscles . Always Sunny always has been and , one strongly suspects , always will be just a group of wrongun good-for-nothings continuing to do wrong and be good for nothing . Hilariously , I should add . You can watch It 's Always Sunny in Philadelphia on Netflix . 20/60 Sort of broke the mould , this one . Raphael Bob-Waksberg 's animated series about a washed-up actor who is also a horse started silly and smart and funny , and then added on dark and sometimes sad in a way that not a whole lot of people saw coming . Setting the series in a world inhabited by humanoid animals is an opportunity for puns that the show takes full advantage of , and along @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more serious themes of addiction , ambition and failure are explored . It 's not what you 'd expect from a cartoon horse . And it 's all the better for it . You can watch Bojack Horseman on Netflix . 21/60 One of those documentary series that 'll have you googling everyone in it as soon as it ends ( but not before ! It 's for your own good ! ) , which is a testament to the investment Last Chance U puts into its characters . It follows a series of community colleges in the US that represent last chance saloons for teenage wannabe sports stars , who perhaps did n't get the grades they needed in high school to enter the college system , or made it to college but then dropped out and now need to get noticed for their abilities to get picked up again . College is pretty much the only path to professional American football or basketball ( the two sports the series focuses on ) , so getting there is everything to these kids , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Heart-breaking and heart-making , you 'll want to give every last one a hug . You can watch Last Chance U on Netflix . 22/60 What Wild Wild Country manages to do , through the range and depth of its interviews , is simultaneously convey the appeal and the dangers of a cult . It does , initially at least , seem kind of idyllic . A society within society is kind of a chance to start again , to free ourselves of everything that 's gone wrong with the way we run ourselves and try a new , better way . But to keep everyone invested in that new and better way you need a dogma , and that way danger lurks . All of this is explored as it pertains to the Rajneeshpuram community in 1980s rural Oregon with sensitivity and depth by Wild Wild Country . The highest compliment I can pay is that it just really makes you get it . You can watch Wild Wild Country on Netflix . 23/60 Here 's the premise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Londoners develop superpowers . One of them , discovering via a trip to the future that his wife is in grave danger , must find the others in order to save her . This new series is a mind-bending blend of social realism and fantasy , rooting its stories in South London and being black in the UK -- each of the newly-superpowered has a family history of sickle cell disease , which disproportionately affects black people , hence Supacell . It 's a tricky thing , to sprinkle a little Hollywood glitter on a place without obscuring its essential nature . But Rapman and an accompanying , hugely exciting cadre of talent have done just that here . You can watch Supacell on Netflix . 24/60 The sort of programme that 's tailor-made for annoying teenagers who think they 're just a little bit more complicated and interesting than everyone else . Still incredibly good though , mostly because of how perfectly it does actually capture the phenomenon of being the above-described kind of teenager . With some nasty violence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to up the stakes a little , this good , weird TV show is absolutely worth a watch if you 've not seen it yet . You can watch The End of the F***ing World on Netflix . 25/60 These adults ' development has indeed been arrested . ( Not criminally , just stopped . Hard to say where . Maybe somewhere in the early teen years ) . A masterclass in ridiculousness , the Bluth family and their Orange County socialite lifestyle exhibit the inherent farce of wealth and status so hilariously , you wo n't even know it 's happening ! Na but seriously , just a series that so perfectly judges the level of absurdity it demands from itself . Did you know it 's Ron Howard doing the voiceover ? It does n't matter if I knew . Tell the truth . Come on . You can watch Arrested Development on Netflix . 26/60 Everyone thinks The Bear came up with the idea of setting a slick and funny TV programme in America 's third-largest , first-windiest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but if you do then just know that they did n't , because Easy did it first . Without wanting to be annoyingly vague , it follows the ways in which a series of people have to deal with and relate to other people . Slightly more specifically , it examines how those relationships -- some romantic , some sexual , some neither -- are inflected with their contemporary context , in Chicago and on a broader societal level . It 's smart and intriguing and you should probably watch all 25 episodes as soon as you can . You can watch Easy on Netflix . 27/60 The mockumentary genre is lying on the ground , pale and still , blood sucked from its veins by the television-industrial complex . RIP . On reflection that 's maybe a little melodramatic -- but the format has definitely seen better days . We 're a far cry from The Office . Towards the end of those better days came American Vandal , and with it a fantastically silly couple of starting points that require American high-schoolers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ everywhere and making everyone in the school cafeteria shit themselves . As with all great mockumentaries , it 's the discord between the ridiculousness of the situations and the straightness of the faces that 'll get you . Great work , kids . You can watch American Vandal on Netflix . 28/60 That fantastic little freak Tim Robinson has managed to put out three series of his sketch show now , and there are upsides and downsides to that . The upside is that there 's lots of his hilarious comedy to watch . The downside is that , for as long as the show goes on , an increasing proportion of your working vocabulary will be occupied by phrases from the show that you barely understand within their original context , and certainly do n't make any sense outside of it . The bones are their money . Shut up , Mike ! You can watch I Think You Should Leave on Netflix . 29/60 The two categories of people who really have to watch @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Seen Breaking Bad and 2 ) People Who Have Not Seen Breaking Bad . So if you 're in one of those , I 'd say get on with it . Bob Odenkirk will have you wanting to high-five and hug and punch and kick him , such is the range of his titular Saul , and add in some stellar work from Michael McKean , Rhea Seehorn and co and the quality becomes undeniable . You can watch Better Call Saul on Netflix . 30/60 It feels worth saying in advance that there 's no shame in crying at the last episode of Wrestlers , even if it 's like a dummy-deprived toddler . Yes it 's all fake , but it 's so , so real . The documentary series from the team behind Last Chance U follows Ohio Valley Wrestling , a Kentucky-based feeder franchise for the much more professional WWE where you can see " tomorrow 's superstars , today " , according to their American dream of a tagline . Here are wrestlers throwing each other bare-backed onto hundreds of drawing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ waitress at the hotel across the street the next , all in the hopes of making it to the big leagues .

The upside down ? Human experimentation labs ? All those weird haircuts ? But listen , do n't be put off . You 're on your own journey and this thrilling , 1980s-set sci-fi is well worth a watch . You can watch Stranger Things on Netflix . 32/60 Before Euphoria , before Heartstopper , before Sex Education or whatever coming-of-age TV show that 's your most recent fave , there was Skins -- the influential 2000s British drama series that made Bristol look like the epicentre of hedonism .

You can watch Skins on Netflix . Netflix 33/60 When Heartstopper first came out , it was ( and is ) one of a kind : a sweet but engaging LGBTQ coming-of-age tale based in Britain that did n't feel too doomy or bleak . Now approaching to its third season , its creator promises a much more grown-up , steamier ( ! ) , sort of show in line with its characters getting older and getting to know themselves . Fortunately , if you have n't seen it or you need a refresher , you 've got until October to catch up .

Told from the perspective @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 7M Management ( as in , they literally left during filming ) , alongside concerned family members of those involved , the three-part show dives into a group of TikTok dancers who are alleged to be under the control of a man called Robert Shinn .

In Eric , he takes on a genre that Netflix has made its bread and butter in the crime thriller , portraying a children 's entertainer whose kid goes missing in dark , dank ' 80s New York . ( Think Tim Burton 's Gotham , or New York in an early Martin Scorsese movie . ) It 's a great demonstration of his eminent acting chops -- if anyone forgot that Cumberbatch is very , very good at what he does -- with a brilliant ensemble cast : Girls ' Gaby Hoffman , Ozark 's McKinley Belcher III and newcomer Ivan Morris Howe put in great shifts in a mystery cloaked by manhole steam .

Stop what you 're doing now -- I do n't care if you 're at work -- and get stuck into the best TV show to come out of last year ( there 's a reason it scooped up so many awards ) .

The incident spirals out of control , gaining a life of its own over 10 episodes , until the whole thing culminates in a wild , unexpected and oddly touching finale . You can watch Beef on Netflix . Most of us have internet stalked someone at least once : a partner 's ex , someone you 're going on a date with , that person from primary school who you randomly thought of in the middle of night and then could n't sleep until you found out what they look like now .

You can watch You on Netflix . Netflix 38/60 2020 was a weird year for , er , a lot of reasons , which meant that a lot of us were watching waaay more TV than we might usually . To that end , we do n't blame you if you missed out on The Queen 's Gambit , the Anya Taylor-Joy-fronted limited series about a chess champion that you ca n't help but get behind .

Worth a rewatch . You can watch Orange is the New Black on Netflix . Netflix 40/60 It 's been a while since we 've had a good , meaty mini-series to sink our teeth into , so A Man in Full , from David E. Kelly ( Big Little Lies , Anatomy of a Scandal ) could n't have come at a better time . Based on a 1998 novel of the same name , the new drama focuses on an Atlanta real estate tycoon , Charlie Croker ( Jeff Daniels ) , who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his empire begins to crumble .

Netflix 41/60 If you 're missing slickly-produced dystopian dramas about people doing insane , extreme things for cash , then new Korean drama The 8 show could be just the ticket . The premise is as follows : eight financially desperate participants enter a game show where they must be trapped in an eight-story building and earn money as time passes . Obviously , though , it 's not as simple as that , and grotesque , violent shenanigans follow .

Except , when she runs out of interesting deaths to write about , she starts , er , murdering the locals . Fair enough , really , when you consider that she gets paid ? 200 per obit .

Courtesy of Netflix 46/60 There have been a handful of Talented Mr. Ripley remakes , but perhaps none as well-known as the 1999 film starring Matt Damon , Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow -- all the absolutely best they 've ever looked ! That adaptation was sun-drenched and colourful , literally oozing elite envy . Netflix 's latest take on the world 's most infamous scammer , then , is a bold deviation . Filmed in stark black and white , Andrew Scott 's take on Ripley is older and less seduced by the beauty of the privileged world he tries to grab hold of . Instead , it paints a portrait of a man desperate to stop having to chase scraps .

Then look no further than 3 Body Problem , the new show from David Benioff and Daniel Weiss AKA the minds behind Game of Thrones , plus Alexander Woo . The eight-episode series is quite hard to explain in just a few words -- especially if you 've not read the Liu Cixin trilogy it 's based on -- but I 'll try . It 's essentially about a group of scientists trying to prevent a huge existential event -- an alien invasion -- that will threaten mankind 400 years into the future ( a long time away , yes , but there 's no time like the present ) . If there 's one series that people are talking about this week , it 's probably this one , so watch to stay ahead of the curve .

More than just a love story ( though that is the reason for the season ) , One Day is a journey through the relatable roadblocks of ageing into adulthood .

Netflix 50/60 Lovesick is one of those shows that got the Netflix saviour treatment back in the halcyon days when the streamer used to do that , and when it was airlifted from Channel 4 , it was renamed -- thankfully -- from Scrotal Recall . The reason for that bonkers name lies in its premise , which jumps off from its lead , Dylan , having to re-contact all of his exes after contracting chlamydia . That nostalgic trip through the little black book is a recipe for disaster for someone as hopelessly romantic as Dylan , who remakes old mistakes in a bit to find true love . The best love story of the series , however , is with his best friends , Evie and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 51/60 Hannibal stars Mads Mikkelsen -- most famously deployed as Daniel Craig 's first villain in Casino Royale -- as the eponymous slasher-sophisticate , in a new adaptation of Thomas Harris ' novels . This one sticks closer to the text and , like all prestige TV in the 2010s , is viciously bloody , pulling no punches with its graphic gore and brutal butchery ( think Saturday Kitchen but with human corpses ) . Notably one of those shows canned right at its peak , as far as the fans are concerned . But at least what we 've got is as lean as a chunk of forearm . You can watch Hannibalon Netflix . BBC 52/60 Props to Jamie Dornan for single-handedly choosing to wreck his Fifty Shades of Grey hunky image by playing possibly one of the most grotesque serial killers to ever grace the small screen . The Fall stars Dornan as an insidious predator , stalking and killing women in Belfast , and Gillian Anderson as the detective assigned to try and catch him .

It more than stands up on rewatch . You 'd be hard pressed to find a grippier story to binge , aside from the likes of The Sopranos and The Wire ( the other GOATs ) , in Walter White 's ascent and fall from chemistry teacher , to regional drug baron , to spoiler ! . Many have made the argument that its final half-season is the greatest ever . We have few counterpoints . You can watch Breaking Bad on Netflix . 54/60 If time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ much more timey-wimey-loopy-doopy than Bodies . Based on the graphic novel by Sy Spencer , the series follows four detectives across four different time periods who find a body - the same body - in the same place . Somehow , all their lives are linked despite the decades between them , and it might have something to do with a wealthy aristocrat ( played by Stephen Graham ) who seems to be in every era too . You can watch Bodies on Netflix . 55/60 The British uni experience is a rich tapestry of regrettable hook-ups , off-brand vodka and houses full of potential black mould that we would mostly like to forget . But that experience is so perfectly evoked in Fresh Meat , created by Peep Show and Succession alum Jesse Armstrong .

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject (the FIA) + V1 (sucking) + NP object (the joy) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (racing for him). It also fits the semantic criteria where the NP subject (the FIA) is an animate agent causing the NP object (the joy) to be extracted from the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate (racing for him), inducing a movement/extraction interpretation. The verb 'sucking' can be classified under the means of exerting force or pressure, fitting one of the categories of verbs that appear in the V1 slot of the construction.

Max Verstappen has threatened that he may leave Formula One because of his dissatisfaction with how the F ? d ? ration Internationale de l'Automobile ( FIA ) is running the sport and what he referred to as the governing body 's " silly " insistence on pursuing issues such as drivers swearing , for which he was punished at this weekend 's Singapore Grand Prix . Verstappen finished second behind McLaren 's Lando Norris at the Marina Bay circuit on Sunday , with the British driver cutting the world champion 's title lead to 52 points . Afterwards , Verstappen launched a broadside at the FIA after he had been given a community service punishment for swearing in the press conference held pre-race on Thursday , when he described his car as " fucked " . Verstappen had already made his displeasure with their decision clear and when asked after the race if these types of petty altercations with the governing body would impact on his future in the sport , the 26-year-old was unequivocal . " For sure , yeah , " he said . " I mean , these kinds of things definitely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be yourself , you have to deal with these kinds of silly things . Now I 'm at a stage of my career that I do n't want to be dealing with this all the time . It 's really tiring . " Before the weekend began , the FIA president , Mohammed Ben Sulayem , had made his position clear , stating he did not want drivers to swear , comparing it unfavourably to rap artists . Lewis Hamilton dismissed this comment as being influenced by a racial bias and stereotyping . Norris and Verstappen were among other drivers who also felt Ben Sulayem did not need to pursue such a trivial matter . A day later Verstappen swore in the press conference and he was then given a punishment of a day 's community service . He subsequently reacted by attending the post-qualifying FIA press conference on Saturday and responding to all the questions with replies that were all but monosyllabic and instead agreeing to speak to journalists in full outside the confines of the FIA session , which he duly did in the paddock . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the press conference , once more answering with the bare minimum of engagement required and once more speaking to journalists in full when it had finished . He said that , despite his success , with three titles and a chance of a fourth this year , the FIA was sucking the joy out of racing for him . " Of course it 's great to have success and win races , but once you have accomplished all that , winning championships and races , then you want to just have a good time as well , " he said . " Everyone is pushing to the limit . Everyone in this battle , even at the back of the grid . But if you have to deal with all these kind of silly things : for me , that is not a way of continuing in the sport , that 's for sure . " Hamilton , who was sixth in Singapore , had dismissed the FIA 's position as " a joke " and suggested Verstappen should not take part in his punishment , insisting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him . The FIA has yet to make any comment on Verstappen 's comments or his stance in the press conference and the Dutchman questioned whether they would even pay any attention to the risk of losing a world champion from the sport prematurely . " I do n't know how seriously they will take that kind of stuff but for me , at one point , when it 's enough , it 's enough , " he said . " We 'll see . Everything will go on , I have no doubt . It 's not a problem because Formula One will go on without me , but it 's also not a problem for me . So it 's how it is .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'chasing the pests out of Downing Street', where 'Downing Street' is a location, not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present in the sentence.

Keir Starmer joked that he and Larry the Cat have something in common - spending 14 years " chasing the pests out of Downing Street . " The Prime Minister made the joke at a reception at Labour Party Conference last night - and also quipped about the protest during his speech at the conference last year . " A word of warning , " he told delegates at the Yorkshire reception . " Stay away from the glitter . It is now treason to throw glitter on me , though the prison places are a bit tight at the moment . " We 'll lock you in the Tower and you do n't want to wake up there . " The PM said : " I 'm really enjoying this " ( Image : Getty Images ) Mr Starmer 's speech to Labour conference last year was interrupted by a protester who hurled glitter on him . At the reception , he went on to joke about the impression that he had been " gloomy " since taking office . " Look at what we 've already done to start @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ended the strikes so our doctors are back in operating theatres , getting our NHS going again .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'opt out of paying in themselves' involves an intransitive verb 'opt' with no NP object, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a choice not to participate in an action.

Instead, it involves the verb 'opts out of' followed by 'paying in', which does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The phrase 'opt out of paying in themselves' involves an NP ('paying in themselves') as a complement of the complex preposition 'out of', but it does not introduce a VP[-ing] with a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Additionally, there is no NP object functioning as a causee in relation to the subject.

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('We 've had to play people out of having a lack of choices'). It involves a prevention interpretation, where the subject ('We') is causing the object ('people') to not have a lack of choices by means of playing. The verb 'play' can be categorized under 'By other specific means' (similar to 'laugh' in the given categories). The NP object 'people' functions as a causee, participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'having a lack of choices'. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Simon Grix believes young Hull FC half-back Callum Kemp can ' benefit massively ' from new and ' similar ' signing Aidan Sezer next season . Like Sezer , the teenager is an out and out number seven , with organisation his key strength . That organisation and composure were on show against Catalans Dragons , albeit in defeat , with Kemp standing tall on his first-team debut , particularly in a first-half performance that saw Hull take the lead . Grix said the same for Ryan Westerman , who also made his senior introduction at the MKM Stadium on what was Danny Houghton and Carlos Tuimavave 's final game as Hull FC players . Calling Westerman a ' classy ' player , the centre is another young talent that the club have high hopes for , with the 18-year-old rewarded with a first-team deal for next season . Both players , meanwhile , put in fair displays , contributing to a spirited account from a side that also featured several other young players , eight of whom were aged 21 or younger . Speaking post-match , Grix said : " Callum has just gone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Lloyd is a good player as well . He 's a young half-back , he knows what he is already ; he 's not lightening quick , but he knows how to play straight and organise , and he came up with some really good touches . " He 's someone who has got a bright future , and he 's started well . He 's got an old half who is quite similar coming to the club in Aidan Sezer , which will benefit him massively if he taps into that . " Ryan is another one . He 's good pals with Charlesy ( Jack Charles ) and it 's been difficult for him to see his mate playing and not getting a runout himself , but he showed what he 's got out there . He 's a classy player . He 's got a lot to learn on both sides of the ball , but his game came to play . I did n't think he looked out of place at all . " Grix continued : " They 've both had great @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have played sooner , and the same goes for Ryan as well , but in among all of this and what 's been going on around them , it 's been a difficult decision . " We 've had to play people out of having a lack of choices for the most part , but we 've really made an effort to try and keep those lads away from it . Your debut is supposed to be a nice day where a lot of older blokes will look after you and show you the way . Unfortunately , we have n't had that for a lot of our lads this year , and we 've tried to shield them from it . " Grix also confirmed that Ligi Sao and Jack Walker missed Hull 's final game due to ' injury . ' Tiaki Chan and Leon Ruan were also selection decisions as Catalans ran out 24-4 winners after a strong show after the break . " Injuries , unfortunately , " Grix replied when asked about the duo . " I do n't think it 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one , so it 's one for the physios to have a think about . " It would have been nice to get them out there for the last game , but having said that , you look back now , and I 'm pretty happy with how everyone took to the field . I am interested in those not on the field , but the focus has to lie on those who did . There are a lot of highlights in there , especially our younger players , but I thought Herman ( Ese'ese ) , Jed ( Cartwright ) , Jordan ( Lane ) , and Mint ( Houghton ) did a really good job . " Tom Briscoe 's absence was also down to illness again , with Grix deciding to reward Westerman with a debut over bringing the veteran back in. |

Reasoning

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'pulled out of hosting' which does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'pulled out of hosting' is more about withdrawing from an activity rather than causing someone to move out of or preventing someone from an activity.

Edinburgh Fringe bosses have blasted the Scottish Government 's decision to host the Commonwealth Games - which could leave the festival ' at risk ' . The Fringe Society , which oversees the annual event , has raised fears the 2026 event will affect the affordability of taking part in or attending the 77-year-old event . 2 The Scotland team emerging at the 2014 Glasgow Games 2 The Royal Mile during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival It claims the staging of the Commonwealth Games , which is expected to coincide with the first week of the 2026 festival , will see the events ' competing ' for suppliers , accommodation , and public transport services . The Commonwealth Games Federation and Commonwealth Games Scotland say the 2026 event can be delivered within a budget of ? 114m , with most of that coming from Australia , who pulled out of hosting . Glasgow City Council has been pledged ? 5m for the 2026 cultural programme and infrastructure improvements . The new concerns have been raised by Fringe Society deputy chief executive Lyndsey Jackson , who was on the organising committee @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more scottish news She told Scotland on Sunday : " Staging a major fully-funded event in Scotland in summer 2026 will push costs for unsubsidised events like the Fringe to untenable levels as we are forced to compete for suppliers , accommodation , audiences and transportation . " We are disappointed that these impacts have not been considered and that wider consultation with the events industry has not been sought . " But a Scottish Government spokesman said they were not putting any extra cash into the games . They said : " We are pleased as part of our negotiation that Commonwealth Games Scotland have set aside funding within their budget to support a culture programme as part of the proposals and will now engage with Glasgow City Council and cultural partners to develop the detail of that .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object between the verb 'pulled' and 'out of flying', and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It describes creating chances 'out of nothing', which is a different construction and does not involve a causee or the specific interpretations (movement/extraction or prevention) associated with the transitive out of -ing construction.

Ipswich Town have a huge following at every game - and James Wall says we should be proud of the global fanbase too ( Image : Ross Halls ) In his latest monthly column , ex-pat and Ipswich Town fan James Wall shares his thoughts on the Blues from across the pond ... As I was scrolling through my last column a few days after it hit the virtual shelves , I stumbled upon a lone comment . With curiosity piqued ( since my columns usually attract about as many comments as the obituaries section ) I clicked on it , only to find a delightful gem : " Inane drivel as usual from this plastic fan - anyone who pays for this nonsense is a fool . " Ah , nothing like a little feedback to make my heart sing ! I suppose someone is paying attention to my writing -- or at least my ability to provoke passionate responses . Thankfully , a few brave souls jumped to my defence , proving that I 'm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ echo at least . This comment got me pondering the whole ' plastic fan ' debate . With the Premier League attracting more and more overseas fans ( and with some even jumping on the Ipswich bandwagon ) , I get it . Some local fans see us overseas supporters as about as hard-core as a vegan at a barbecue . Town fan Harry Smith watches the Blues with friends at the Fado Pub in Philadelphia ( Image : Harry Smith ) But trust me , the fervor of us foreign-based fans can be surprisingly intense . I know this firsthand after joining the North American Supporters Club ( NASC ) . Our WhatsApp group is the liveliest on my iPhone -- providing more animated match commentary than the BBC and EADT 's own Stuart Watson combined ( with added colourful language ) ! It easily surpasses the other Town WhatsApp group I 'm part of , comprising almost exclusively current Suffolk and Essex residents . So , to all the Town fans who 've stayed in Suffolk and environs : take pride ! There are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flag all over the globe . Blue and white flows through our veins just as it does in yours . An Ipswich Town scarf hangs alongside others in the Banshee Irish Pub in Buffalo - Town fan Steve Green sent this to me ! ( Image : Steve Green ) Onto the Premier League season , as we near the end of September . Look , I do n't think anyone could disagree that we 're going to be fighting at the bottom end of the division all season . Those eternally optimistic fans who predicted a top 10 finish have got to be eating their words even at this early stage . And in this fan 's opinion , it 's going to be tough to finish above the bottom three . Before I attract even worse commentary than my last column , hear me out . As I look at the teams likely to be around us this season ( all three promoted sides plus Wolves , Everton and Palace , by the looks of it ) I think we 've got as good @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them . Kieran McKenna is one of the best young managers in the game ( Image : Ross Halls ) Here 's why : 1 : We 're now three games unbeaten , with two of those games being on the road and two against teams currently in the top 10 . We 've only lost against the teams now first and second in the league and we gave one of them ( Liverpool ) a good run for their money in the first 60 or so minutes . 2 : We 've still got that ' never say die ' attitude that characterised our season last year . The one game I managed to watch in person live last season , the home game against Leicester , Sam Morsy fired a last-minute equaliser from the edge of the box that took a big defection . It happened again this weekend vs . Southampton . This team never gives up . 3 : Kieran Mckenna has added 12 new players to his squad this year , meaning they 're still gelling and learning to play under @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has said several times , these players are only going to improve as they go . 4 : Portman Road is a fortress . I was a young kid during the Bobby Robson years and my first game was the Barcelona match in which Johan Cruyff was marked out of the game by Roger Osbourne . I remember those ( mostly standing ) 1970 's crowds and the noise they generated . But I 've never heard noise like I did at the Leicester game last year . 5 : We have the best young manager in the game , with a support staff that 's equally competent . I 'd put my money on KM more than I would on any of the other managers currently in the bottom six . 6 : Stability . No matter what unfolds this season , we can count on our owners to stay calm , avoid knee-jerk reactions , and not behave like teenagers caught in a compromising situation on a Friday night when results do n't go our way . We also know our owners have been very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ points being deducted , unlike the current league leaders ! Next , who has been my pick of the new players so far this season ? A few of them have caught my eye with their performances thus far ... Jacob Greaves , centre , has been superb for Town so far ( Image : Steve Waller ) 1 : Number one for me has been Jacob Greaves . He has looked every inch the Premier league player and while it 's tough for a centre half to stand out in every game , he 's been solid and assured in all of them . I see Greaves as a future England player given a few years . 2:Liam Delap is so fun to watch , with his power and pace . The fact that Southampton put two players on him for much of last Saturday 's match indicates that other teams are wary of his prowess , especially in transition where he seems to be able to create chances out of nothing . 3 : Kalvin Phillips has n't yet got the blood racing , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to his best under Mckenna and his team . If he can get back to being half the player he was for England under Gareth Southgate , we 'll survive this season . 4:Aro Muric looks like a solid signing , after that shaky debut at City . His performance against Brighton earned him a European Team of the Week slot and I see him keeping us in quite a few games with his condor-like wingspan . Next up Aston Villa at home . Who knows , perhaps we can get a first win of the season on the board ? After all , Villa were a Championship team only five years ago ... and now look at them .

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('they') + V1 ('opt') + NP object ('a payment that they may have to repay') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('receiving'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, as the subject is preventing themselves from receiving a payment they may have to repay.

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('Too many people') + V1 ('are being priced') + NP object (implied 'them') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('owning their own home'). It also gives rise to a prevention interpretation, where the action of being priced prevents people from owning their own home.

The sentence 'Labour City Councillor Tracy Millard said too many people are being priced out of buying a home in Gloucester' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate).

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'born out of wanting to provide...', which does not involve a transitive verb with an NP object and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of wanting to provide...' is more about the origin or reason rather than causing or preventing an action.

Coming up with the idea in the middle of the night and creating the charity in his family 's laundry room , little did Eddie Farwell know what a fantastic and needed organisation Children 's Hospice South West ( CHSW ) would go on to become . He himself admits it is more than he could ' have ever have imagined ' . Now as the charity prepares to mark the 30th anniversary of Little Bridge opening next year , CHSW 's co-founder and CEO is getting ready to hand on the reins as he announces retirement plans . Mr Farwell says he plans to step down within the next year . After founding the charity with his late wife Jill in 1991 , and following 20 years as chief executive , Eddie has decided that now is the right time to hand over the reins . " It 's not been an easy decision " explains Eddie . " This charity was born out of wanting to provide something to families in the South West where they could feel the same love , care and support that we had experienced for our family without having @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exists , our three children 's hospices serving more than 550 families , is beyond what I could ever have imagined . " The initial idea to build a children 's hospice for families in the region came to Eddie in the middle of the night while he and his family were staying at Helen House children 's hospice in Oxford . Eddie and Jill 's two eldest children Katie and Tom had both been diagnosed with a rare degenerative genetic disorder that sadly meant they would not live to reach adulthood . Jill and Eddie Farwell with their children Tom , Katie and Lizzy . Credit : CHSW The family 's only opportunity for respite was when they travelled to Helen House children 's hospice ; somewhere that provided comfort and support from people who knew and understood their situation . It gave Jill and Eddie the opportunity to recharge their batteries and was a haven for their younger daughter Lizzy . This is what they wanted other families in the South West to have closer access to . Eddie and Jill set up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ home in North Devon , to support children and young people living with life-limiting illnesses and their families . After a ? 1 million fundraising appeal CHSW 's first hospice Little Bridge House opened its doors in Fremington , near Barnstaple , in 1995 . Huge demand for its services led to an appeal to build Charlton Farm near Bristol which opened in 2007 . Following this the Precious Lives Appeal was launched to bring a third hospice ; Little Harbour , to support families living in Cornwall and Plymouth . Little Harbour opened in St Austell in 2011 . During the development of CHSW Eddie 's wife Jill received a diagnosis of breast cancer and sadly died in 2004 . Following this Eddie gave up his role working for Devon County Council social services and succeeded Jill being appointed chief executive of CHSW in February 2005 . Reflecting on the significance of planning his retirement for 2025 Eddie said : " 2025 will be the 30th anniversary of the opening of our first hospice , Little Bridge House , and for me will also mark 20 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's and my life 's work , and it has been a privilege to be involved in such an endeavour . " Not many people are given the opportunity to do as we have done , " he added . The charity has been on a phenomenal journey since its inception in the laundry room of the Farwell 's family home , touching the lives of many that have used its hospices as well as supported it .

Eddie was awarded an MBE for services to children 's palliative care in the New Year 's Honours List in 2015 and was made an Honorary Graduate from the University of Exeter in 2016 . Reflecting on Eddie 's plans for retirement , Tricia Morris , chair of trustees at CHSW said ; " To say that Eddie will be missed is a huge understatement .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'Charity' (implied subject) + 'talked' + 'her' + 'out of turning herself in'. It also fits the prevention interpretation, as 'Charity' is preventing 'her' from 'turning herself in' by means of talking. The NP object 'her' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'turning herself in'. This aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'clearing out of' as a phrasal verb followed by an NP 'remaining Hamas resistance', which does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

In the early hours of Tuesday morning , the IDF spokesman 's office issued a laconic statement , according to which Israeli forces have commenced ' raids ... based on precise intelligence against Hezbollah terrorist targets and infrastructure in southern Lebanon . These targets are located in villages close to the border and pose an immediate threat to Israeli communities in northern Israel . ' With this terse announcement , Israel signalled that its 18-year policy of restraint and reaction on its northern border was definitively over , and that the door has been opened to something new . Hezbollah takes a particular pride in its claimed deep knowledge of and understanding of Israeli society How did we reach this point ? The last war between Israel and the Iran-supported Shia Islamist Hezbollah organisation came to an official end on August 14 , 2006 . UN Resolution 1701 , which ended the war , forbade Hezbollah from any armed presence south of the Litani river . For most of the intervening years , Israel pursued a cautious , even hesitant policy on the border @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rapidly brushed aside the terms of 1701 and the UN force detailed with implementing it , and began to construct a fearsome , open military capacity extending down to the Blue Line of withdrawal and the border fence . Without the 7 October attacks from Gaza , and Hezbollah 's decision to join Hamas 's war effort on October 8 , it is likely that this situation would have been maintained . It has taken a year of fighting to destroy Hamas 's conventional military capacity in Gaza . Even now , the organisation is still able to launch sporadic attacks on Israeli forces . If the northern border had been quiet , it may be assumed that any calls in Israel for opening a ' second front ' would have been quickly dismissed . It is likely that Hezbollah assumed that difficulties in Gaza and/or the fear of casualties would prevent a determined Israeli response to their daily missile and drone attacks . Hezbollah takes a particular pride in its claimed deep knowledge of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , this supposed knowledge mainly consisted of the conceit that Israeli society 's ( undoubted ) sensitivity to casualties would prevent it from launching a determined response . This perspective is based on a long-standing Arab nationalist and Islamist view of Israel . It may have its roots in a traditional Islamic disdain for the Jews as a defeated and for a long period non-martial people . In the case of Hezbollah , the theory that Israeli sensitivity to casualties could lead to military results was applied in the insurgency of the 1985-2000 period and produced the desired result -- the unilateral Israeli withdrawal from Israel 's ' security zone ' in south Lebanon , in May 2000 . This success has led to subsequent miscalculation . In 2006 , a Hezbollah raid led to a three-week war and large-scale destruction in Lebanon . Subsequent to that war , Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah said that had he known in advance of the Israeli response , he would never have ordered the initial attack . This did not , however , prevent him from ordering the ' support @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him his life , led to the severe degradation of his movement , and may now have triggered a renewed Israeli land invasion . Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant is the main driving force behind the current government 's uncompromising stance toward Hezbollah . Gallant 's own involvement with Lebanon goes back to his own experiences as a naval commando in operations in the country in the early 1980s . A couple of years before he became defence minister , I participated with Gallant in a delegation from Israel to meet with officials in France . I still remember the suddenly electric atmosphere in the meeting room on a sleepy Paris afternoon , as the future defence minister began to lay out his views and plans for the destruction of Hezbollah in Lebanon , in the bluntest and starkest terms . Gallant has been the most determined voice for a wide-ranging operation into Lebanon since October 8 . He was blocked from ordering such an operation , by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu , in the very first days of the war . Now , largely thanks to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to apply his plans . What has happened so far ? There are currently two regular IDF divisions poised for action on the northern border . These two divisions have different capabilities and job descriptions and it is worth paying close attention to who is doing what , in order to keep a sense of the unfolding operation . The two divisions are the 98th airborne , and the 36th armoured . The 98th brings together Israel 's airborne , reconnaissance and commando units , including the regular 35th ( Paratroopers ) Brigade . As its name suggests , its specialties include rapid , pinpointed actions . It has been a central force in Gaza in recent months , engaged in the clearing out of remaining Hamas resistance . The 98th appears to have been the force responsible for what the IDF describes as the ' limited , localised , and targeted ground raids ' against Hezbollah positions along the border which have so far taken place . The stated purpose of the IDF 's mission is to create the conditions which will enable the return of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ along the northern border since 8 October . The dimensions and extent of the unfolding Israeli action have not been revealed and are not currently clear . It is doubtful , however , that Israel will suffice with clearing Hezbollah positions from the immediate border area . The 36th Armored Division , whose components include the First ( Golani ) infantry brigade and the 188 Armoured Brigade , was one of two regular divisions which took part in Israel 's initial , rapid thrust into Gaza . It has been in the northern border area since early 2024 , training for operations into Lebanon . Its presence implies that a broader and deeper push into Lebanon is a distinct possibility . It remains to be seen what arrangement might follow the Israeli manoeuvre -- whether it will mean the establishment of an Israeli controlled buffer zone in the area south of the Litani or ( as currently appears more likely ) some new power dispensation involving the return of the Lebanese Armed Forces and perhaps a new international force . What is clear is that we are witnessing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ between Israel and the Iran-supported Islamist militias deployed around it , and in the long and tortuous saga of Israel 's relations with its northern neighbour . Pull those ripped tartan trews on lads , the Sex Pistols are back ! Well , kind of . Lead singer John Joseph Lydon , aka ' Rotten ' , is livid that the other three surviving members have decided to perform a couple of charity gigs without his consent . Really ? Punks doing charity gigs ? Sid Vicious must be turning in his Pennsylvanian @ @ @ The mood at Conservative conference has been surprisingly jubilant considering the turmoil that the party finds itself in . Labour 's misfortunes may have contributed to this , but there seems to be a genuine optimism around the four candidates vying for the leadership of the party . What 's the latest ?

They go head to head in an increasingly tight election . What does Trump vs Harris say about the state of American politics ? And can any of these candidates -- on either side of the pond -- expect to be fighting future elections for their parties ?

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'get out of being charged' does not have an NP object between the verb 'get' and 'out of', and the overall structure does not align with the required NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate pattern. Additionally, the interpretation does not clearly fit the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It involves the verb 'get' with an NP object 'enjoyment' and the phrase 'out of working with someone' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

His trainer Don Charles commended Joshua below but went to bat against undisputed champion Usyk whom Dubois previously lost to in controversial circumstances . In a heated debate on Talk Sport , Gareth A. Davies and the studio panel talked with Daniel Dubois ' team including Don Charles and Dubois ' team -- with Dubois ' team and Gareth A. Davies in particular going back and forth -- here 's the full segment for balance of what is becoming an infamous one : " I 'm sorry , what do you mean ? Why Daniel ? Um , Anthony fluffed his . I just do n't think he got going in the fight , but Daniel allowed him . Exactly , exactly . You can only do what your opposition lets you do . Sometimes , I think how people judge fighters , and I think it can be disrespectful to Anthony Joshua himself . Yeah , the gentleman tried his best , of course , of course . So , what I 'm saying is that he tried his best , and to criticize him about how he approached the fight , I think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our job , and we were successful in overcoming what Anthony had planned , and we were successful . But to criticize somebody , automatically saying he fluffed it , I do n't think those words are accurate . It 's unfortunate ; he tried to do something , but Daniel on the night did n't put it in , and we did n't allow him to . That 's the whole point . It 's the same as football . Yeah , yeah , it 's the same as football . A coach , there 's nothing wrong with a coach . Yeah , they 've coached to play a certain way , but the opposition recognized it and countered the strategy . Exactly . He did n't implement his strategy because he was n't allowed to . That 's what I 'm saying . As for this analogy of fluffing , remove the word fluff . I think we have to be careful about how we speak about athletes , especially someone like Anthony Joshua , who has achieved so much in the game . We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dismissive . The man transcended boxing . The man is -- sorry , let 's not be dismissive of the gentleman who created that atmosphere in Wembley . It was all about him , but we came with a different game plan , and we were successful , overriding his plan . So we are winners ( team Dubois ) , and like I 've always said , it 's a sport . I 've always said we should celebrate Anthony Joshua . In fact , it should be Sir Anthony Joshua . Anthony Joshua has kept the majority of the industry , people like yourself , in employment for long periods , so we should celebrate him . I agree . He did n't fluff his lines then -- it 's just an expression . I 'll also say this : he 's a very educated , articulate man , who also showed incredible resilience and courage to stay in that fight until the fifth round . He nearly snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in the fifth round . He showed himself to be a gladiator @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ effort . Many would have quit , but he did n't . Yeah , exactly . Okay , God is great because it would have been a crying shame for Daniel to have done all that he did in the earlier rounds , only to lose . It would have been one of the greatest turnarounds ever , but God is great -- it did n't happen . It was n't meant to be . Obviously , we 're celebrating Daniel ( us at Talk Sport said Adam Catterall of Talk Sport ) and his fantastic performance last weekend . He 's had one go at Oleksandr Usyk , and he admitted himself that going into the lion 's den , away from home in Poland on their Independence Day , with everything stacked against him , was a challenge . We knew about it ; we knew everything . But experience is key , correct ? He 's had that experience now . As a team , are you looking forward to another opportunity at that puzzle , potentially meeting Usyk again ? Yeah , where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ personal . I should n't make it personal -- it 's always about the fighters . It really is , and it still is about the fighters . I do n't get in the ring to take punches or give punches . Mr. Usyk is a fake -- an exceptional boxer , yes , masterful , a genius at what he 's done and what he can do . But he 's a fake , a liar , and a cheat ( said Don Charles , trainer of Daniel Dubois the IBF Heavyweight Champion ) . In what aspect ? Well , do excuse me , he is a guy who says he 's a God-fearing man , always crossing himself . If you believe in the same God as me and the world 's population , one of the Ten Commandments says you can not cheat . That 's against one of the Ten Commandments . So , make your mind up -- do you worship God or not ? Because if you do , then cheating and the acting he did when Daniel dropped him -- @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you think he was trying to get Daniel disqualified when he went down ? I do n't think disqualification was in his mind . The man was gone . He was gone . I saw it . I know what I saw live -- I did n't need any replays . The man was able to act and cheat his way back . Categorically , it was n't a low blow . Come on , man , I 've said it in many interviews -- no , hell no . You just mentioned the opportunity to have another go if it presents itself . Our focus is n't on that right now . No , it 's not . Our focus is not on meeting Usyk again , should that materialize . I dare Usyk to get in the ring with Daniel Dubois again . How much enjoyment do you get out of working with someone as young as Daniel , who 's had his bumps along the way , adding the boltons , as you said , to then realize what he did last weekend ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ There 's no scale in this world to measure how we feel , not just me , but the team too . I must apologize to your audience . You 're looking at a very angry man here . I should be happy , and I am , but I 'm also very , very angry . Do you understand the punishment of 20 years ? This industry has crushed me . If I were n't the person I am , I could have had a nervous breakdown . I could have started intoxicating myself with alcohol or drugs to escape the pressure , the persecution , the ridiculing . There 's a lot of love for you , Don , you need to know that . There is love from my family -- that 's the only love I want . I do n't want love from you guys . Your love is fake love . I think the fans love you . No , no , I 'm not talking about the fans . I 'm talking about the industry , not the fans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('This could force other Christians out of counselling'). It involves a verb 'force' which falls under the category of exerting force or pressure (type b). The NP subject 'This' is an inanimate force, and the NP object 'other Christians' is a causee participating in the event described by 'counselling'. The interpretation is prevention, as it implies preventing other Christians from counselling. Therefore, it is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

He said that he has " overcome " his prejudices against same-sex couples since he began working as a Relate counsellor in 2003 , but now that he is training to be a psychosexual therapist , he feels he can not deal with gay and lesbian people . " In counselling , you are drawing the couple out , going on a journey with them , enabling them to think in more than black and white , " he told the Daily Mail . " You are not telling anyone what to do or endorsing what they do . " But in sex therapy you are diagnosing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unlike a doctor . " He claims it would be incompatible with his Christian beliefs to ' promote ' homosexual sex . After complaints by staff at Relate about his views , he was suspended and later told he would face a disciplinary hearing . Eventually he was dismissed . " If I was a Muslim this would not happen , " Mr McFarlane claimed . " They would find a way to make the system work . But Christians seem to have fewer and fewer rights . Relate needs to be forced to work through stuff like this . " There was a group who did n't want me there and they got their teeth in . " I was prepared to explore my reservations but they wanted unconditional assurances that they would never become an issue for me . " Why did they have to slam the door like that ? This could force other Christians out of counselling . " Some have already reacted with consternation , saying if it could happen to someone of my experience and skills @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tribunal follows the case of Lillian Ladele , who won her employment tribunal against Islington Council . A registrar , she had refused to carry out civil partnerships because she claimed they conflicted with her Christian views . The tribunal found she had been discriminated against because of her fatih . Islington is appeaing the ruling . Relate dealt with gay couples before Mr McFarlane joined in 2003 . The charity , founded in 1938 , receives millions of pounds in funding from the government . Trained practitioners see 150,000 clients each year . The service is available in 600 locations to married , co-habiting , same-sex relationships , separated , divorced or single people . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes a product feature where 'Take the effort out of cleaning floors' suggests reducing effort in cleaning, but it lacks a clear NP object functioning as a causee and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of cleaning floors' does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate in the required construction sense.

The Tineco Floor One S5 is a smart wet and dry cleaner that does a great job of cleaning up solid and liquid messes on hard floors . The Auto mode , which detects dirt and adjusts suction in response , works very well , while the Max mode is excellent at dislodging stubborn stains . It 's easy to maneuver and propels itself forwards , but you 'll need to make room for a fairly bulky dock . The Tineco Floor One S5 is a cordless wet-dry vacuum with a floor-standing dock . It vacuums and mops in tandem , removing the need to vacuum before mopping , and potentially cutting your hard floor cleaning time in half . It features Tineco 's iLoop smart sensor technology , which detects both wet and dry dirt and adjusts suction , water flow and roller speed accordingly . A light ring will glow red when it finds a particularly dirty bit of floor , and slowly change to blue as it cleans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ impressed at how efficiently it worked when vacuuming and mopping up dirt and cleaning fresh wet spills in my home . Understandably , it took a little more effort to dislodge caked-on dirt , but it cleared that eventually too , with the help of Max mode . It ca n't get into grouting cracks between tiles , however , and although it can tackle dust , it ca n't be used on area rugs or carpet , so if you have those you 'll still need to supplement this with one of the best vacuum cleaners . While it 's quite heavy , the fact it propels itself forwards means it 's still comfortable to use , and it 's easy to maneuver , too , although it wo n't lie flat so you wo n't be able to get too far underneath furniture . There 's an automatic self-clean program for hands-off cleaning of the brush roller , and an onboard voice assistant that 'll prompt you to add water , empty the dirty water tank and even remind you to start the self-clean program . There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from essential . The Tineco Floor One S5 would be great to have on standby if you have young kids who are prone to spilling food under the table , you simply need to refresh a muddy hallway , or as a quick fix on dusty floors that look desperately messy when the sun shines through . That 's the short version ; read on for my full Tineco Floor One S5 review . List price : $499 / ? 399 Launch date : April 2022 Availability : US / UK Tineco is a Chinese company that sells a range of carpet cleaners , wet-dry vacuums and smart vacuum cleaners . The Floor One S5 was added to its floorcare range in 2022 and is available to buy in the US and UK with a list price of $499 / ? 399 . The S5 is n't a budget appliance , but considering it can perform the dual functions of vacuuming and mopping , it 's a time-saving two-in-one floor cleaner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mop floors several times a week . The build quality is high , and Tineco provides things like spare brushrolls , a replacement filter , and cleaning solution , in the box . While the S5 is n't available in Australia , the Tineco Floor One S5 Pro is available . It 's virtually the same model but features additional animations on the screen as well as a suction-only mode . Value for money score : 4 out of 5 Swipe to scroll horizontally List price : $499 / ? 399 Vacuum size ( H x W x L ) : 43.3 x 10.2 x 9.8 " / 110 x 27 x 25cm Dock size ( W x D ) : 12.6 x 12.2 " / 32 x 31cm Weight ( empty ) : 9.9lbs / 4.5kg Clean water tank : 28fl oz / 0.8L Dirty water tank : 23.7fl oz / 0.7L Max battery life : 35 mins Recharge time : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Large charging dock holds all accessories Auto mode detects dirt Self-cleaning brush roller The Tineco Floor One S5 is designed to be used on both wet and dry spills on hard flooring , and is roughly the size of a standard upright vacuum cleaner . With its graphite , white and navy finish , it 's easy on the eye . The parts that look premium , and it feels like it has been built to last . The wet-dry vacuum sits on a floor-standing charging dock for convenient grab-and-go cleaning . Bear in mind that the dock has quite a large footprint , so you 'll need to find floor space ( near a power outlet ) for it . When sat on its floor-standing charger , the handle is at a slight angle , so it 's not completely flush up against the wall . I appreciated that the dock includes spaces for a spare brush roller and filter , so they wo n't get lost . ( Image credit : TechRadar ) On the vacuum are generously sized clean and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ empty and fill . When the dirty water tank is full , the appliance switches off and the voice assistant prompts you to empty it . Likewise , when the clean water tank needs a refill , the voice assistant prompts you to do so , but it does n't automatically switch off . On top of the main body of the cleaner , there 's a large , round screen that displays the battery percentage as well as the cleaning mode . There are two modes to choose from : an Auto mode , which uses iLoop Smart Sensor Technology to detect dirt and adjust suction accordingly , and a Max mode . ( Image credit : Future ) There are also a number of other symbols , which light up to alert you of issues such as when the dirty water tank needs emptying or the self-clean program needs running . A light ring around the edge of the screen changes color depending on the level of dirt detected : red when the cleaner detects a high level of dirt , becoming blue as the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ located on the handle , and next to it is a button to switch between Auto mode and Max mode . There 's also a Suction mode , for when you do n't want any cleaning solution sprayed out . This appliance comes with a companion app , which provides user advice and cleaning stats ( more on this below ) . ( Image credit : TechRadar ) A self-cleaning cycle can be activated by pressing a button on the top of the handle . During this cycle , clean water from the tank is used to rinse out the brush roller . You can also change the brushroll in the floorhead , to extend cleaning times . Unclick the top cover from the floorhead and swap in a fresh roller while you rinse and leave the used one to dry . That means the machine is always ready to go . Tineco is quite generous in terms of the extras provided in the box . My review model came with two extra brush rolls , a spare filter , a brush to clean the short @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and some deodorizing and cleaning solution ( this is the only solution recommended for use with this appliance ) . Design score : 4.5 out of 5 Maneuverable and self-propelling , but does n't lie flat Effectively cleans lots of mess types , but wo n't get into grouting Voice prompts are useful The Tineco Floor One S5 comes out of the box pretty much ready to go -- there 's very little assembly required , other than clicking the handle into position and placing it on the dock . When the device is positioned on the docking station it delivers a voice prompt to let you know that ' charging has commenced ' , and you can see the battery levels rise . The water tank is easy to fill and given that only one cap of cleaning fluid is required , the included bottle should last a while . The cleaner always starts in Auto mode , even if you were using Max mode last time . ( Image @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ remove wet spills , dirt , grime , grease and tough stains from most types of hard surfaces , although it 's not suitable for rugs or carpets . I tested it out on sealed hardwood flooring , vinyl tiles , and ceramic tiles . The Tineco Floor One S5 works by pushing forward to vacuum and pulling back to mop . Although it 's quite heavy , when switched on it propels itself forward , requiring minimal effort . It 's also really maneuverable , turning tight corners with ease . The floorhead does a great job of getting close up to baseboards and furniture . However , and because the handle wo n't go flat , you 're limited when it comes to cleaning under furniture , and the floorhead wo n't fit into small or awkward spaces , either . Wet-dry cleaners typically do n't come with detail tools , but I think a crevice tool would be helpful here . The controls are clear and useful . It 's easy to see how much charge is left at any time , and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tank needs changing or the clean water tank has run out . There 's also the option to use a voice prompt button for this , so you do n't need to look at the screen . ( Image credit : TechRadar ) On test , the Auto setting worked well , with suction audibly increasing when dirt was detected , and the changing colored lights providing a useful at-a-glance indicator of what was going on . Sometimes , the lights would turn red when going over parts of the floor that did n't look dirty to the naked eye , prompting me to pay extra attention to these areas , which I would n't have done with a regular mop . In general , I was impressed with how much dirt it pulled up from what I 'd thought were relatively clean floors . I found the Floor One S5 mopped evenly and did n't leave the floor too wet , leaving behind a mild , pleasant scent of cleaning solution . When cleaning in both Auto mode and Max mode never went above 72db @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a dishwasher mid-cycle , and is more than acceptable for a device like this . To assess this cleaner 's performance on different kinds of cleaning tasks , I ran series of tests . I used it on my kitchen floor to clear up a milky cereal spillage and was amazed at how quickly and effortlessly it tackled the area . I removed most of the spillage using the suction-only mode , then switched to the Auto mode to completely clean the surface . In general , I found it a very convenient way of cleaning up liquid spills such as milk . It sucks up the liquid quickly and cleans the floor simultaneously , so it 's useful to have to hand if you 've got small children . I also tested it out on dried food splatters . Here , the mop needed a little more help and I found myself ramping up to Max mode and going over the area a few times to dislodge and clean effectively . ( Image credit : TechRadar ) Certain consistencies of spillage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ remove a blob of foundation from one of my bathroom tiles , and I had to go back and forth over the area several times to get it clean . It 's also worth noting that on this tiled floor , while the surface was left clean and free of debris , the cleaner did n't get into grout lines , so these remained dry . To test performance on dry messes , I sprinkled oats and crushed biscuit/flour on the floor . The vacuum picked up both with no problems , without leaving any residue behind . Overall , I found the performance on dry debris very effective -- this cleaner clears hair and dust very effectively , even at the edge of the baseboards . When cleaning on Max power , the dirty water tank required emptying after just six minutes of cleaning and the clean water tank needed a refill after only eight minutes . Both lasted longer in Auto mode , though , as it does n't use as much water . Emptying the tank is a simple process but if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to deal with all the larger debris that 's mixed in with the grubby water . Emptying into the toilet makes things much simpler . ( It 's usual for wet-dry cleaners to mix wet and dry debris like this -- Dyson WashG1 takes a different tack by separating solids from liquids for easier disposal and more straightforward maintenance . ) ( Image credit : Future ) Once back on the charging dock , the Floor One S5 scans the dirt level on the brush roller and will prompt you to perform the automatic clean if needed . This takes roughly two minutes , during which time clean water will flush through the system and rinse the brush roller . It 's a completely hands-off process , so you can walk away and do something else until it 's finished , at which point the dirty water tank will need emptying . I also found it beneficial to remove the brush roll and leave it to dry separately when not in use . This can be fiddly -- and rather grim if there 's a lot of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after use keeps things fresh . Less frequently , you 'll also need to clean the filter , and clear the tube between floorhead and water tank using the brush provided . Performance score : 4.5 out of 5 Provides cleaning stats and helpful instructions Only supports 2.4G Wi-Fi Thiscleaner comes with a companion app : the Tineco Life app . This connects easily to the floor cleaner and it walks you through the setup process . While having an app for a floorcare appliance is n't exactly necessary , it does contain a few useful features . It allows you to change the language as well as volume of the voice prompts on the cleaner , you can also mute the voice altogether if you prefer . You can use it to check the cleaner 's battery levels while it 's charging , and tell you how long it is before charge is complete . There are video tutorials on everything from how to fill and empty the water containers , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you can tell the cleaner whether you 're using cleaning solution or cleaning with water only , this allows it to adjust settings if necessary , although this can be done without the app too . There are other , arguably less useful features in the app , such as stats on the time spent cleaning and average daily use . It 's not necessarily an app you 'll use regularly , but it 's helpful to download it when first setting up the appliance , in our case it performed a firmware upgrade upon the initial setup . Note : the companion only supports 2.4G Wi-Fi . Up to 35 minute runtime Battery level displayed clearly on screen 4-5 hour charging time The battery percentage is shown clearly on the screen during use as well as while it 's charging . If you 're not near the cleaner , you can also check the battery level in the app , which will give you additional information about how much time is remaining @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be quite accurate . ( Image credit : TechRadar ) During use in Max mode , the battery lasted 27 minutes , which is just shy of the 28 minutes stated by Tineco . It 'll last longer in Auto mode , but exactly how long will vary because auto mode adjusts the power depending on the dirt level detected . Once the battery reaches 10 percent the number flashes to alert you that it 's low . A full recharge took just under four hours , which is faster than the four to five hours suggested by Tineco . Swipe to scroll horizontally Attribute Notes Score Value for money Not especially cheap , but high quality and works effectively . 4/5 Design It 's quite heavy , but looks stylish and is easy to maneuver . The dock is a little bulky though . You have a lot of hard floorsThis cleaner will take care of vacuuming and mopping all your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ got childrenIt makes short work of cleaning up spills and washes the floor at the same time , which takes the stress out of accidents like dropped cereal bowls or drinks . You want a smarter wet-dry cleanerThere are plenty of wet-dry cleaners on the market , but the automatic suction adjustment and voice prompts help this one stand out from the pack . You 're short on spaceThis cleaner 's dock is pretty bulky , so you 'll need to find somewhere to store it , and it 'll need to be near a plug outlet too . You have a lot of carpetThis cleaner is n't suitable for use on carpet or rugs , so is probably only worth it if you have lot of hard flooring in your house . You 've got delicate or uneven floorsWhile it 's gentle on floors , I would n't recommend this cleaner for very delicate floors -- if anything got embedded in the brush roller it could cause damage .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It involves the phrase 'opted out of receiving that marketing', where 'receiving' is part of a gerund phrase, but there is no NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes an opt-out action from marketing communications.

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('he got me out of assembling furniture'). It has a prevention interpretation, where the subject 'he' prevents the object 'me' from 'assembling furniture'. The verb 'got' can be classified under nonspecific means. The NP object 'me' functions as a causee, and the interpretation aligns with the prevention type of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The daughter of a Yorkshire pensioner has heaped praise on the good Samaritans of the community for their kindness after her father collapsed at a bus stop . Karen Thomas , from Hackenthorpe , shared how her 81-year-old dad Ken Thomas suffered a fall last Sunday . The retired French tutor , who had travelled for breakfast , decided to walk to another bus stop while waiting to return home . It was during this wait outside that Ken collapsed . Fortunately , Ken 's distress was spotted by Chris Stratford , a local personal trainer , who did n't hesitate to come to his rescue . After being alerted by social media , Karen managed to identify and thank the kind-hearted stranger . Describing the moment of assistance , Chris said : " I was driving home from work to the house my partner and I had just bought when I saw what looked like a man laid next to the bus stop on the main road , " adding , " As I got close , I could see there was a man Ken who looked like he had fallen . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Ken 's side and comforting him : " I quickly stopped my car and ran out to help him . Ken said he had been there for a few minutes after collapsing . He kept apologising for being on the floor but I explained to him that he 'd got me out of assembling furniture so I did n't mind staying with him , " reports Yorkshire Live . Karen was unaware of the extent of community support her father received until she posted a thank you message on social media . It was then that she learned about the numerous individuals who had come to her dad 's aid . Among them was Chris , who recounted : " A woman named Paula and her husband who I know from the gym also came out to help and called an ambulance . We sat with Ken and covered him with jackets from the car , as well as Paula 's coat . " Lynne Thomas , an off-duty nurse , was another good Samaritan at the scene . She commented on Karen 's Facebook post @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in good conscience not stop . Really though , the guys there had already done all the hard work and all of the right things so hats off to them ! It 's great to see that even without formal training people are willing and able to do what needs to be done you 're all incredible ! The world needs more people like you guys . " Ruth and Mick , who had been enjoying breakfast with Ken at Mary 's Pantry , also witnessed the incident and immediately recognised him . Ruth promptly used Ken 's phone to inform his daughter , Karen , about the situation . Karen expressed her deep gratitude , saying : " Just knowing that those people were there with him made it so much easier for me because I could n't get there to be with him myself . It was really reassuring to know that he was n't sitting waiting for the ambulance on his own . It made me panic a lot less . " Chris added : " Ken was very thankful to all of us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It made me so proud to be from round here with how many people came to help and had genuine concern for Ken . They all stopped what they were doing on a Sunday to stay with him while we waited for the ambulance . " Ken is currently receiving care at Northern General Hospital . " He 's still very dizzy and weak , but the doctors are hoping that it 's just a virus that really took it out of him , " Karen said . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'take the guesswork out of cooking rice', where 'cooking rice' is a noun phrase rather than a VP[-ing] predicate with a causee. Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'pulled out of' in a different context, referring to withdrawing from an event (hosting the Commonwealth Games), without involving a causee or a VP[-ing] predicate that would indicate a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Last year , the Australian state of Victoria pulled out of hosting the 2026 Commonwealth Games , and so Glasgow stepped in . A pragmatic move on Scotland 's part , the games are one of the few international events where athletes can compete for Scotland , not Team GB . Scottish athletes will have their chance to shine . It 's not the first time the games have been hosted in Glasgow , which put on the event in 2014 . It 's also not the first time the games have struggled to find a home ; Durban , the original 2022 host , had to pull out for financial reasons . But it 's not only the financial cost that has been difficult -- the Commonwealth Games are having to reckon with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ becoming a " pass the hot potato " game between Australia and the UK , who seem the only ones willing -- and financially able -- to take it on . For young athletes across the UK , and specifically Scotland , the Commonwealth Games provide a more accessible opportunity on the international stage . The move to host the games also fits within a wider drive by Scotland to position itself as a cultural powerhouse . Only narrowly missing out on hosting the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest to Liverpool , Glasgow -- and Scotland -- have always had a strong international reputation for culture . Edinburgh 's Fringe Festival is world famous for its creativity . Scotland is a country that knows how to put on a show . I bore witness to this recently at the Braemar Gathering . In unseasonable heat , Scottish and international athletes tossed the caber and competed in track and field . Despite the mess from which the 2026 games are now emerging , for young Scottish athletes there is nothing but excitement . Speaking to one hoping to compete @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of national pride in the Scottish team . A friend who has his eye on making the Team GB squad for LA 2028 explained that the Commonwealth Games is a major stepping stone that makes the gap to big competitions like the world championships less daunting . As well as preparing young athletes , the games are also meant to inspire future generations . Some friends recall the excitement of the 2014 games in Glasgow , and hope that 2026 will whip up a similar frenzy . But , having only hosted a short time ago , there 's also a feeling that you can have too much of a good thing . " The last one was so recent , and the decision was so last minute , they 'll struggle to build as much hype , " one friend said . Scotland 's athletic pedigree , often overlooked , is not to be snubbed or overshadowed by the rest of the UK . The men 's 1500 metre world title was won by Scotsmen in 2022 and 2023 , with Josh Kerr , who won @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . As I walk through Edinburgh , I spot the gold letterbox in honour of Sir Chris Hoy , and then we come to the Eric Liddell Community Centre , named after the sprinting icon whose story was told in Chariots of Fire .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'get' is transitive but the object 'enjoyment' does not function as a causee, and the phrase 'out of seeing their team win' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the source of enjoyment, which is not related to the construction's defined interpretations.

Omer Riza has said he is " hopeful " over getting the manager position at Cardiff City on a permanent basis and has told the board to " look no further " if they want to appoint a younger boss . The club has tended to flip and flop between older , experienced managers and those in the infancy of their careers in the dugout in recent years . And interim boss Riza , who has taken over on a temporary basis following the sacking of Erol Bulut , would completely understand if the board saw it fit to hand the keys to someone with a bucketload of experience . However , he believes that if the club are going to take a chance on someone less proven - like they did with Steve Morison and then Mark Hudson - then he hopes they turn to him and hand him the job on a more permanent basis . Riza , who oversaw the club 's first league win of the season against Millwall on Tuesday , said : " I 'm focusing on the game in front . Obviously we have the international window @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make . Whether I 'll be privy to that I do n't know . " It 's for others to say whether I deserve the opportunity or not . I have n't changed as a person or a coach . I have always been a hard-working guy , fair , to bring a togetherness to the group . " For me , when it comes to the position , I 've always said I want the opportunity . Hopefully I will get it . " In my mind , you ask these questions and you think to yourself , well if you 're going to bring someone in who is around that 's my age , then there is no point in looking any further , because I 've done the same thing these guys have done , other than the fact that they have been able to stand in front of a crowd because they 've been given the opportunity to do so . " If it 's somebody who has managed 500-600 games and has got loads of experience and you can learn from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ far as I 'm concerned , I 've been working hard to get to this point and that does n't change . " The players have been excellent and taken everything on board . You can tell by the way they 've stepped out on to the pitch at Hull and against Millwall , working hard for the club , there is a togetherness and a belief . " Sign up to our Cardiff City newsletter here . Cardiff 's record with Riza at the helm reads ; won one , lost one . However , he comes up against Bristol City in the Severnside derby at the weekend and a win over the Bridge will go a long way to endearing himself to the fans and , importantly , owner Vincent Tan . " I know how important derbies are , " he added . " Against Swansea we put up a good game and could have come away with the win . We 'll approach this game the same , high energy , high intensity , not allowing the opposition to play , if we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ am aware of that . I am aware that every game is important now . Points are important . Other than wins now , nothing else is important . " I hope it makes the owner , Mr Tan , happy , and the fans . People get enjoyment out of seeing their team win and it was nice to see the fans really getting behind the team and supporting the team . They 've had a rough ride so far , hopefully we will give them something to shout about on Sunday . " In another boost , Cardiff will be bolstered by the return of three players who missed out against Millwall in midweek . " Jesper Daland trained today , so it was nice to see him back , " Riza said . " He was training for a week but he 's been getting through certain phases of his rehab . Today he trained really well , so he will be up for selection . " Callum O'Dowda trained today and trained really well , he is ready for selection . Sio @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tomorrow with us , so he is up for selection . So yeah , got a full squad .

Reasoning
×
The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('locks you out of upgrading your expensive rig at all in the future'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the action prevents the NP object ('you') from participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate ('upgrading your expensive rig'). The verb 'locks' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure, and the NP object 'you' functions as a causee. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Picking the best gaming PC is all about matching your own budget to the components on offer and what you actually need your new rig to do . Be honest with yourself , are you actually going to start that YouTube channel in 2024 ? Do you really need a high-performance , many-core CPU to deal with all the content creation you promised yourself you 'd do when you bagged a new gaming PC ? Or actually , do you just want the best frame rate bang for your buck , and actually need to prioritise on gaming performance over everything else ? You can spend a small -- and sometimes not so small -- fortune on unnecessary components when you could have bought a PC with higher actual gaming performance if you 'd made the graphics card the focus . But that 's not to say that 's all you need to keep an eye on , because in my twenty-year tenure as a PC gaming tech journalist I 've reviewed a lot of unbalanced machines and they rarely deliver over a more rounded spec . Below , I cover the specs you should expect at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ testing PCs built by many different companies over the years , which gaming PCs I believe are the best for your budget . Right now , I think the ABS Cyclone Aqua is the best gaming PC for most people . It 's one of the most affordable RTX 4070-based systems we 've seen , and still comes with a hefty amount of both RAM and storage . If that 's too rich for your blood the Yeyian Tumi is the best budget gaming PC . It 's a $750 RTX 4060 system , with a great overall component list to back that mid-range GPU up . Testing every system at every configuration in the rich tapestry of gaming PCs is impossible . But we 've had experience with all the main system builders ' work and have extensively tested the core parts in each . We are well-versed in identifying which is the best graphics card at each price point and the processor you 'll need to make the most of it . So whether you 've got a tight $1,000 budget or are willing to spend up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a great recommendation for the best gaming PC for you . Curated by Curated by Dave James Editor-in-Chief , Hardware Ever since building my first gaming PC as a teen I 've been fascinated by their guts and have turned poking , prodding , and testing systems into a profession . Over the last 20 years or so I 've tested hundreds of gaming PCs and have always been more interested in how a manufacturer squeezes the best parts and the best performance out of their budget . But I ca n't lie , I do love an over-the-top big rig , too . Advanced Battlestations ( ABS ) is Newegg 's gaming subsidiary and actually produces some damned fine -- and damned good value -- gaming PCs . It 's systems we 've personally tested have been well-specced and well packed for delivery , too . This particular machine comes with an outstanding spec for the money . This is a great price for a mid-tier gaming PC , especially when many rigs around this price might only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ i5 is still a really solid CPU today , and the RTX 4060 is a good budget graphics card ... just with the wrong name . iBuyPower is one of the most established names in PC building , and its RDY line of gaming PCs and laptops means you can get a new rig in just a few days . This all-AMD system combines both the outstanding Ryzen 9 7950X3D and the RX 7900 XTX for a real high-end machine . Corsair makes almost every part of a modern gaming PC and knows how to put them together . With the best graphics cards at their hearts , and the finest CPUs , the Vengeance machines pull all that together with a surfeit of Corsair RAM and storage , and arguably the best chip coolers on the market . Alienware is one of the most popular gaming PC manufacturers around , but the shine has slowly worn off for us as Dell 's corporate grip tightens . The Aurora machines still look beautiful , but the build quality has been lacking in recent years , and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't premium , and yet carry a premium cost . This is PC Gamer , so the best mini PC needs to be able to do that , and with the discrete RX 7600M XT inside it , the AtomMan G7 PT is absolutely capable of delivering on that front . Its eight-core , 16-thread Zen 4 chip is also equally capable of any productivity goodness , too . Updated October 3 , 2024 to change the primary recommendation to reflect the best-value gaming PC you can buy right now and include our pick for the best mini PC , too . You can now check out both our criteria for picking the best gaming PCs , as well as some handy advice for how to pick what machine is best for you . ABS Cyclone Aqua Intel Core i5 13400F RTX 4070 32GB DDR5-6000 1TB SSD $1,399.99 $1,159.99 at Newegg ( save $240 ) ABS often puts together great prebuilt bundles , but this one in particular stands out as ticking all the right boxes . You 've got a very swift Core @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ goodies that brings , a 1TB NVMe drive for storage and even 32GB of very fast DDR5-6000 . Most prebuilts in this price range stick you with an RTX 4060 Ti and 16GB , but the full-fat 32GB here in combination with the RTX 4070 makes this a chunky little gaming machine with serious credentials . ABS is Newegg 's gaming PC subsidiary and as such comes with a wealth of history and expertise behind it . And that 's shone through in the machines we 've tested ourselves , which have offered both great specs and great value . And there are almost always offers available on ABS systems , too , which makes them a great shout when you 're looking for a bargain buy . Like a lot of the other builders , though , I 'd prefer better than a one year warranty as standard , but that 's my only real issue . Buy if ... ? You want to hit 1440p frame rates : The RTX 4070 is able to nail excellent 1080p numbers , but you will also be able @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , especially with DLSS 3.0 and Frame Generation . ? You want a ton of RAM : There 's nothing in this system that screams ' upgrade me ! ' and the 32GB of fast DDR5 will see you right for the lifetime of your rig . ? You want seriously secure shipping : The ABS rigs we 've tested have come so well packaged that it 's almost overkill . But a safe PC is a worthy investment in recycled packaging . Do n't buy if : ? You need high-end productivity : The Core i5 13400F is a gaming chip first and foremost . It does have six full performance cores , but it 's not a productivity beast . It 's certainly no slouch , and has decent multithreaded performance , but it is primarily a gaming chip . The $1,000 to $2,000 price point is arguably the most important one for PC gaming ; this is where the majority of PC gamers will be aiming to spend their budget and for us that 's where the best gaming PC really lives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ part of that is there are a lot of options to choose from . But this is where it 's no longer okay to be going with a last-gen graphics card , because the RTX 4070 , RTX 4070 Super , and RTX 4070 Ti have now launched and are the best GPUs around this price point . With RTX 3080 performance from the RTX 4070 , and systems on sale for under the $1,200 mark with the Nvidia GPU inside it , there 's no longer a case to be made for RTX 3080 or RX 6800 XT machines that cost more . And they generally do . The RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4070 Ti Super , which you 'll find just below the top end of the $2,000 budget , offer RTX 3090-level gaming performance , and considering that was a $1,500 graphics card of the last generation which you 'd never find close to this price . I do n't think you need to worry so much about last-gen CPUs , as 12th Gen Intel and AMD Ryzen 5000-series CPUs will still carry an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ limit you in terms of memory . The latest generations from both chip makers come with DDR5 memory , which is much quicker for actual memory intensive productivity tasks . You should also not consider less than 1TB of SSD storage , and ideally 2TB at today 's prices . Intel Core i5 12400F Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 16GB DDR4-3200 1TB SSD $1,199.99 $749.99 at Newegg ( save $400 ) This Yeyian machine will make for a great entry level 1080p gaming PC , that will really deliver for the money . It might be classed budget , but it will easily get you quality frame rates even at the highest 1080p settings . Yeyian has been around in the US for many years now , consistently making good-value gaming PCs , and it always pops up with well-specced budget rigs . Yeyian is a California-based gaming PC builder that 's been around for the last five years . But , I 'll be honest , when I first came across its rigs on US retailers I foolishly presumed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ America . We 've seen it providing both well-specced budget gaming PCs at heavy discounts around sales events , as well as high-end machines coming out with the latest and greatest hardware , too . More importantly it has a pretty good basic warranty , offering three years labor , two years parts , and one year 's shipping , as well as lifetime tech support . ? $1,000 is your limit : At well under $1,000 the Yeyian gives you a bit of breathing room when it comes to your budget . Do n't buy if : ? You need raw CPU power : The Core i5 12400F is a decent gaming CPU , but its six cores wo n't deliver much in the way of processing power for streaming or content creation . ? You really want to push that budget : There are RTX 4060 Ti gaming rigs just under the $1,000 mark if you 're happy going to the very top of your budget . When you 're looking for a gaming PC under $1,000 then it 's all about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it 's from . Well , within reason . So long as the company you 're purchasing from has actually successfully sold gaming PCs before , and does n't have a host of poor reviews , you just want to make sure you 're getting the parts you would hope for at this price point . At the moment that would ideally be an RTX 3060 Ti , which was one of the best graphics cards of the last generation . It 's a powerful GPU , not that far off an RTX 3070 , and still has no equivalent from within the new generation of AMD and Nvidia cards . But given the RTX 4070 has now dropped , we are expecting an RTX 4060 Ti soon . But that should mean prices on the RTX 30-series should keep dropping with abundant stock . There are still a lot of RTX 3060 GPUs out there , however , so if you can bag a PC with one of those for $700 or less you 're doing well . Alongside that you 'll want either a Core i5 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 11th Gen or AMD 5000-series will be more than enough , and 16GB of RAM . You 'll probably only find a 500GB SSD in these builds , but that 's the most affordable upgrade down the line . Graphics card : Nvidia RTX 4060 RTX 4060 Ti Radeon RX 7600 CPU : Intel Gen Core i5 12th Gen AMD Ryzen 5000-series Memory : 16GB DDR4-3200 SSD : 1TB PCIe PSU : 500W Ipason gaming desktop Ryzen 5 5600 Radeon RX 7600 16 GB DDR4-3200 1 TB SSD $759 $699.99 at Newegg ( save $59.01 ) If you do n't want to get busy with a screwdriver , Ipason has a budget offering with a built-in upgrade over its $489 5600G-sporting PC , this time with an RX 7600 GPU at its heart . That offers sometimes better than RTX 4060 gaming performance , and the full system comes with a solid back-up spec , too . The Ryzen 5 5600 might not be the latest and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CPU , and that 1 TB SSD gives you a decent amount of space for a few big games and all your files . NSX gaming PC Ryzen 5 5600X RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB DDR4-3600 1 TB SSD $1,149 $929 at Newegg ( save $220 ) This is about as cheap as you can get for an RTX 4060 Ti rig right now , this being a graphics card that 's great for entry-level gaming thanks to 60+ fps capabilities in modern games plus ray tracing and DLSS chops . Unfortunately , you 're getting a CPU that 's a couple of generations old and just 16 GB of DDR4 RAM , but that RAM is speedy for DDR4 and should n't hamper your gaming experience too much . iBuyPower is a classic name in PC building , and has a whole lot of history when it comes to making machines . We 've checked out a number of them ourselves , and while they 're not always the most exciting-looking rigs ( though the one above actuallly is ) , they 're always well built and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a new gaming PC quickly , these RDY PCs do n't have the extra customizations of its more bespoke builds , but will ship in a couple of days . Buy if ... ? You want a smart , clean PC : iBuyPower is n't always the most exciting of builders , but the chassis it 's used here makes the PC look great . ? You want it fast : Speedy delivery on iBuyPower machines means you should get your new PC in around three days . ? You want to go AMD : This all-AMD rig delivers the best the red team has to offer all in one impressively affordable package . Do n't buy if : ? You 're super into ray tracing : The Radeon RX 7900 XTX is a great straight raster gaming GPU , but it 's not the finest graphics card when it comes to running the latest ray traced gaming pretties . When you 're getting to the rarified heights of the $2,000 - $3,000 price point you 're really getting into the elite of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to pull in some really high spec components . Given that you can get RTX 4070 Ti gaming PCs for less than two grand , you really ought to be targeting either the RTX 4080 or the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX at this level . You can also start to think about high-end CPUs here , too , with Core i7 and Ryzen 7 , even Ryzen 9 chips all available within this price range . And that means you 're looking at PCs that wo n't just be fantastic gaming systems , but with effectively workstation-level computational power , too . In this market you should be looking at systems that will make excellent creator machines . You will arguably see PCs with very similar specs lists at this price point , which means your choice of machine often comes down to secondary considerations , such as shipping time , which brand of components are being used , and such things as warranties and returns . We like iBuyPower RDY machines because of their rapid turnaround from sales which could see you ordering a new rig @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also like Corsair 's Vengeance machines , because it makes excellent , reliable chassis , SSDs , memory , and cooling itself . Which means it can put high-end supporting parts in your new PC . This is also where you want to be able to trust the system builders more than just taking a punt on saving $100 on a similar spec , but from a brand you maybe do n't know so well . ABS Eurus Aqua Core i9 14900KF Nvidia RTX 4080 Super 32 GB DDDR5-6000 2 TB SSD $2,699.99 $2,299.99 at Newegg ( save $400 ) This ABS RTX 4080 Super build , like the Andromeda Insights one above , is everything a gamer might want . For the extra $150 , however , you 're getting an Intel Core i9 14900KF for some of the best productivity performance barring the latest high-end 9000-series chips . In other words , while the above build is probably a better choice just for gaming , if content @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rig is probably the one to go for . Just ensure you install the latest microcode BIOS to prevent instability issues . ABS Kaze Aqua Core i9 13900K RTX 4090 32 GB DDR5-6000 2 TB SSD $3,699.99 $2,999.99 at Newegg ( save $700 ) RTX 4090 machines are still hugely expensive , but we now have two systems retailing for less than $3K a piece . You might still have to pay a pretty penny , but what you 're getting here is the fastest gaming GPU you can currently buy in conjunction with a mega-fast i9 13900K and a healthy dose of DDR5. 2 TB of storage , too , which should give you plenty of room for a load of games and files . Deciding between this one and the Skytech Azure probably comes down to whether you want a CPU purely for gaming or for productivity , too . And whether you mind having to install a microcode update to keep this i9 build stable . Intel Core i9 14900K Nvidia RTX 4090 64 GB RAM 2 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Vengeance gaming PCs combine rock-solid build quality with high-end component choice , and ultimately a decent price for an RTX 4090 system . That 's obviously the star of this system , sporting more video memory than you can shake a pair of RTX 3080s at , and a monstrous slice of GPU silicon at its heart that can tear through games at 4K and render scenes like a pro graphics card . It 's also arguably the only RTX 40-series GPU that actually feels like a proper generational upgrade over the previous generation . Where Corsair 's Vengeance machines stand out is in the fact it can build around the core components with its own supporting cast of kit . From memory to SSD to cooling and chassis , Corsair make some of the best kit around , and putting it all together in one quiet , cool , and stylish package is where its systems shine . Corsair has been quietly -- and sometimes not so quietly -- making some of the best PC parts for years , with only the core componentry of GPUs , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . So , with the best PC cases around , it stands to reason they would make some great full systems . Again , the use of standard components makes upgrading down the line easier , and as it 's Corsair you 're getting some of the best memory and power supplies around , too . They do generally come in a lot more expensive than the competition , but at this level you really do pay for what you get . Buy if ... ? You want the best CPU/GPU combo around : The Corsair machine comes with the best Intel processor and Nvidia graphics card , but does n't surround it with unnecessary extras simply to hike up the price . ? You want a cool and quiet rig : The chassis and cooler combo means you 're getting an setup that 's able to keep those high-end components running at top speed without getting too shouty . We love the black monolith of a chassis , and Corsair 's AIO coolers are some of the best . Do n't buy if : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some fully water-cooled setup , with hard tubing and multiple radiators , and RGB 'd to within an inch of its life . Those can be gorgeous machines , great for a tradeshow floor , but you 're paying for a tubed setup that locks you out of system upgrades down the road . Although $5,000 is a lot of money to spend on a gaming PC , this is n't money-no-object territory and you still want to make sure you 're getting the performance you 're paying for . That means making sure you 're not spending over the odds on useless extras thrown into a build just to hike up the price to make it seem more ' premium ' than it really is . What this budget does mean , though , is you getting your hands on the finest gaming graphics card ever made by humankind . The RTX 4090 is the top of the stack , and the only GPU from Nvidia 's RTX 40-series that really does feel like a whole new generation of graphics silicon . It 's expensive , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anywhere else . What you then need to decide is whether you want to go AMD or Intel for the supporting cast . The Intel 13th Gen Core i9 chips are excellent gaming processors , and deliver a huge amount of multi-threaded performance for any kind of productivity workload you 'd care to throw its way . But , on the flip side , the Ryzen 9 7950X3D delivers the highest potential gaming performance you can get from a CPU thanks to its 3D V-cache chiplet . That extra cache will mean your high-end GPU has the best chance to shine , and the 16 full cores of Zen 4 processing means you still get workstation-level productivity chops , too . All that said , there are really only a few frame per second in it between the Intel and AMD options when you 're talking about the sorts of high resolutions you 're going to be pushing the RTX 4090 through . When you 're spending this much you could consider going all out on a full closed-loop liquid cooling array . Such systems look spectacular @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Though how effective such arrays are is more debatable . If you 're spending big on a system because you want someone else to build you a top-end rig and do n't ever want to touch it , such a rig would be great . But if you ever want to get involved with upgrading your core components a closed loop is a real pain in the butt to maintain . Given the diminishing returns of overclocking modern components , such extreme cooling is also not entirely necessary , either . Graphics card : Nvidia RTX 4090 CPU : Intel Core i9 13900K/F AMD Ryzen 9 7950X/3D Memory : 32GB DDR5-5600 minimum SSD : 2TB SSD PSU : 1KW DigitalStorm Aventum X Core i9 13900K RTX 4090 64GB DDR5-5200 1TB SSD $5,596 $5,346 at DigitalStorm ( save $250 ) Okay , yes , we are topping the $5K mark here , but if you want a stunning liquid cooling setup then the Aventum X will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that loop , and it 's only for the CPU . And it does mean if you want more storage or faster memory the price will creep up . Intel Core i7 14700F Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti Super 1TB SSD 16GB DDR5-5600 $2,099.99 $1,699.99 at Dell ( save $550 ) It 's not often that an Alienware gaming rig will pop up that actually has a hell of a lot of tech inside it for a surprisingly competitive price , but here we are . This Aurora R16 comes with the second-tier Ada GPU , the RTX 4080 . It 's an RTX 3090-beating card with 16GB VRAM , and with the latent power of DLSS and Frame Generation . The 24-thread Raptor Lake CPU is great if you 're talking about productivity , and you do get 16GB of relatively speedy DDR5 . The 1TB SSD is a bit weak in terms of storage -- I 'd much rather have a full 2TB SSD at this price . Our major issue with recommending Alienware PCs now , however , is the bespoke hardware inside either locking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an unnecessarily expensive upgrade path . When I was a whelp I used to hanker after Alienware PCs and laptops , but as I 've gotten older , so Alienware has changed . It 's become more and more like its corporate Dell overlord , and far less tantalising a prospect . My biggest issue is the use of proprietary components , which would be fine if they were the finest , and beyond reproach , but you will find other equivalently priced builds with superior motherboards and power supplies that you can also upgrade in the future . And price is definitely an issue , too , with the Alienware premium not really buying you anything tangible for the extra . I will reiterate my mantra , never buy a full price Alienware , because they only become worthwhile with a hefty discount . Buy if ... ? You just want plug and play : Alienware machines will just work out of the box and with the might of Dell behind it you can be relatively confident that you 'll be looked after if something goes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Alienware rigs look good , and unlike any other machine on this list . The curvy chassis are a world away from the boxy towers otherwise used . But they certainly are big ... Do n't buy if ... ? You want peak performance : We 've not had great experiences with recent Alienware machines delivering the performance their parts ought to . That 's often down to the bespoke nature of the components and sometimes ineffective cooling . ? You want to upgrade your PC in the future : No PC is truly future proof , no matter how much you spend , so either you upgrade your rig , or you buy a new one . With Alienware , you 're largely locked into the latter by its use of bespoke motherboards , chassis , and PSUs . ? You want value for money : The deal above is a rarity for Alienware PCs . More often than not you 'll be paying well over the odds for a machine that performs notably worse than an equivalently priced system from pretty much anyone else @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gaming PCs , with a heritage stretching back to the dawn of time . Well , 1996 anyway . With a penchant for stylish designs and high-performance hardware it cemented its place in the burgeoning sphere of gaming-focused PCs . In 2006 it was bought wholesale by corporate PC giant , Dell , and that helped bring an economy of scale to the brand that previously it did n't have access to . But that has n't necessarily meant those economies of scale have been passed on to the consumer , as Alienware has always kept itself as a premium tier brand within the Dell portfolio . Which was fine when it was offering a premium experience to the people who bought its PCs . For years we have had Alienware on the top of our best gaming PC lists , because historically its systems could be relied upon to deliver a top-tier experience and premium performance . In recent times , however , we 've reviewed different Alienware gaming PCs and have found they fall short of our expectations . Given some performance issues , cooling problems @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say you should n't buy a full price Alienware PC and only look to pick one up when they are heavily discounted . The bespoke components used inside them sometimes fall short of the sort of performance you 'll get out of motherboards , coolers , and power supplies you can buy from other named brands , such as Corsair , Asus , or MSI . They are also generally designed specifically for use exclusively inside Alienware 's own chassis , which means those cases do n't allow for third-party upgrades down the line . At least not without some serious modifications . At best that locks you into the Alienware/Dell ecosystem of high-priced hardware , and at worst locks you out of upgrading your expensive rig at all in the future . AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX Radeon RX 7600M XT 32 GB DDR5 1 TB SSD $1,199 at MinisforumThe elephant in the room is arguably that light show on the side of the AtomMan G7 PT , but do n't let that put you off this excellent , very PC Gamer mini @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ worry . And once the primary-colored badges are disabled it 's a more restrained system , but only in aesthetics . You 're still getting a supremely powerful AMD Ryzen 9 CPU , with 16 full Zen 4 cores and 32 threads of processing power . You 're also getting a discrete RX 7600M XT GPU inside which is capable of delivering excellent 1080p gaming performance in a pint-sized package . For simplicity 's sake , we recommend picking up the variant that comes with 32 GB RAM and a 1 TB SSD with Windows 11 pre-installed on it . It 's only $200 more than the barebones version , and to get the same package would likely cost around the same if you were to shop around yourself . If you 're after a mini PC that can also game , then Minisforum is one of the best outfits for that . It 's Venus UM790 Pro is an outstanding micro machine , that 's our favorite budget mini PC , but if you want something with more grunt the AtomMan G7 PT is an absolute winner . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ impressive cooling capacity of Minisforum machines that means they get our vote as the best mini PC . Many small form factor PCs will suffer from egregious sound levels , but Minisforum 's cooling chops means it can keep even a discrete GPU chilled enough not to whine in a smaller chassis . Buy if ... ? You 're after high performance in a tiny footprint : The combination of 16-core Ryzen CPU and RX 7600M XT discrete GPU makes this a powerful computational beast as well as a decent , tiny 1080p gaming rig . Do n't buy if ... ? You want a PC that will grow with you : There 's no real upgrade path when both the CPU and GPU are soldered onto the board and non-replaceable . ? You want more than 1080p gaming : With the best will in the world , the RX 7600M XT is not a GPU that will be comfortable at 1440p or 4K resolutions in-game . The Minisforum AtomMan G7 PT is our pick as the best mini PC for gaming , simply @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ excellent cooling , and a seriously impressive CPU and GPU combo . Packing the 16-core AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX means that you get stellar levels of processing power , making it an eminently portable workstation . But for us , it 's the inclusion of the Radeon RX 7600M XT ( yes , it 's all AMD here ) that tips this system over the edge of standard mini PC-dom and into the realms of gaming PCs . Sure , you 're not going to get the same sort of gaming performance as you 'll see in the hyper-expensive Asus ROG NUC with its mobile RTX 4070 , but it 's also cooler and quieter for it . You 're still getting mighty 1080p gaming performance from the AMD GPU , and way beyond what you 'll see from any integrated GPU you could mention . The AtomMan G7 PT is potentially the most PC Gamer of all the mini PCs we 've tested in recent times , and that 's because of its gaming prowess and barebones nature . You can pick it up with 32 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on it , and that is the straightforward choice , but if you wanted to go rogue and slap 96 GB of DDR5-5200 in there you could . You could also go with two separate SSDs , too , as it ships with both PCIe 5 and PCIe 4 M.2 sockets . Asus ROG NUC 970 Intel Core Ultra 7 155H Nvidia RTX 4060 ( mobile ) 16 GB DDR5-5600 512 GB SSD $1,399 at AsusYes , I know , it 's a lot for an RTX 4060 machine when you pick up a better specced one for literally half the price with more memory and storage from Yeyian . But if you want smol , you have to make a compromise , and that compromise is going to have to be how much you 're willing to spend to get the size . Still , it 's a lot cheaper than the RTX 4070 version ... ( Image credit : Future ) We spend a lot of time testing gaming PCs to ensure that we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spend your hard earned cash on one . Experience is an important factor -- you want to know that pulling your new rig from its box that it 's going to work as soon as you plug it in , and let you get up and gaming as soon as you can download your favourite games . But the general feel of using a PC is one part of it , it 's also important to get the relative performance numbers to be able to see how a given machine performs in games compared with other systems . We run a selection of benchmarks to gauge CPU performance , storage performance , and of course gaming performance . We are now using Cinebench R23 and X264 to test the processor 's rendering and encoding capabilities -- which will tell you both how good the CPU is , as well as how good its cooling is -- and Final Fantasy XIV Shadowbringers and 3DMark to test the storage inside a PC . For the gaming side , we use 3DMark Time Spy , Hitman 3 , Metro Exodus Enhanced @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ III to give us 1440p frame rate metrics . We will get inside the machine to see how well built it is , and how well the builder has tidied up the mass of cabling that always lurks inside a gaming PC . It 's also important to know how much of an upgrade path a system might have , whether there is space inside for a extra storage , or more memory , etc . Value is also a key concern for us . A gaming PC represents a large outlay , and no matter whether it 's a $900 or a $5,000 machine , it still needs to be able to justify its cost by the quality of the build and the components inside it . Our selection criteria for picking the best gaming PC comes down to the brands we 've used and have had good experience with , and the ones who consistently put together good-value , well-specced machines . It 's not possible to review every single gaming PC on sale , but we have tested PCs from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and shipping processes they use . But the biggest thing is always going to be the mix of core configuration and the overall price . If there 's a machine with a great GPU and CPU combination , but is priced well beyond the competition then it 's not going to get the nod from us . Equally if a PC maker consistently pairs its gaming PCs with single channel memory ( *cough*Alienware*cough* ) or reliably sticks 512 GB SSDs in with $1,500 systems , they 're not going to get a recommendation from us , either . As a PC gamer your primary point of reference for picking your new gaming PC should be around what graphics card it has inside it . That is the key component when it comes to getting the highest frame rates for your games and is the first decision you must make ... once you know what budget you have to work with . Check out our list of the best graphics cards for a run down of the current state of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ card hierarchy list below where you can see in a quick snap-shot just how they perform against each other . Once you 've got your GPU picked , then it 's about finding the best-value gaming PC sporting that graphics card . And , as I said before , you want to make sure you get a balanced PC for all that you might want to focus on the GPU at its heart . You need to have a processor that can keep your graphics card fed with data , and memory enough that your system does n't collapse under a weight of Chrome tabs . The minimum we would recommend on the memory front today would be 16 GB , but we would also suggest making sure that comes in two separate sticks ( often denoted for a 16 GB kit as 2x 8 GB ) . That ensures you get the highest memory bandwidth possible from so-called dual-channel memory . With a single stick of memory you will only get half that bandwidth . While you do need to have a processor , or CPU @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ optimal pace , that does n't mean you need to have a million cores to do it . Unless you 're engaging in a lot of video editing or 3D graphics work , a CPU with six or eight cores will absolutely be enough for a gaming PC . Do n't be desperate to bag a 16-core chip if all you 're going to be doing is playing games . We 've picked the best CPUs for gaming from the current chips available , so it 's worth checking out any build you 're interested in against that list . Finally , storage . This is an area where a lot of system integrators cheap out on , and with games taking up an inordinate amount of capacity today it 's worth making sure you 're set from the off . The minimum today -- unless it 's a super bargain rig -- should be a 1 TB SSD . It is the easiest upgrade , but one you do n't want to have to be doing as soon as you set up Steam on a new machine . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? The most important component for any gaming PC build will always be the graphics card . That will give you the best idea about how one machine matches up with another just in terms of raw gaming performance . Below , we 've listed the slew of GPUs we 've had over the past couple of years listed in terms of their Time Spy Extreme index score as a way to put them in some consistent hierarchy . This does n't cover the performance difference between graphics card in every instance , as differences in how they handle ray tracing other graphical effects can play a part . But this is a handy one-shot method of getting a rough idea of how the various cards from these various generations of GPU stack up against each other . Alienware may have lobotomised its out-of-this-world design philosophy for the Aurora R16 , making for a dull looking machine , but it 's nailed the mix of performance , thermals , and acoustics which delivers its best desktop yet . The R16 is still a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a compromise too far for you , there are definitely better prebuilt PCs out there . Clearly made with care and attention , the Starforge Systems Navigator Pro is a well-tuned , well-built gaming PC . For a much more premium build , it is more expensive than some PCs with a similar specification , which will see it only appeal to those with more flexible budgets . The Skytech Chronos 2 sits at the low-end of the current gen RTX 4070 machines , but is an all-over well presented machine with impressive gaming performance . The issue is actually you can buy other Skytech machines with an RTX 4070 in for less . I just ca n't get over its ludicrous price . In fairness to MSI , pricing is variable . We 're still early in the RTX 40-series and 13th Gen product cycles . That means the Trident X2 is sure to have a long shelf life . If MSI were to drop pricing to more palatable levels , my conclusion would be different , but at this price there 's simply no way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You 'll find something just as good and have enough money left over for a game or ten , a decent monitor or ... you get the picture . The Legion Tower 5 is a well-made system , with clean cable management , quiet operation , and space to upgrade . But the uninspiring component choice and relatively high price make it a difficult system to recommend against the competition . When you can get an RTX 3060 Ti-powered machine with double the SSD space for just $100 more , it 's really hard to recommend a machine like this . 238GB of NVMe storage just is n't enough , and the HDD wo n't save you -- however large it is . Focusing on the processor makes for an interesting build , but there are simply better gaming machines out there for the same cash . If you like to marry serious productivity with a little gaming though , there 's plenty to like here . Despite some minor pain points with the RAM speeds and storage space , ABS is still charging a fair @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and it still aces both productivity and gaming performance at 1440p . This RTX 3070 Ti spec of HP Omen 45L strikes a good balance of high performance , cooling ability and good looks . About the only thing really missing from the equation is the price . If you can get it for well under its current price , it goes from being good to excellent . If you care about gaming and not the minutiae of the PC it runs on , Alienware systems are worth a look . This Ryzen Edition with its 5900X and RTX 3080 is powerful , but do not pay full price . You 're sure to find it at a steep discount as the launches of next gen products draws near . As a mid-range streaming PC , NZXT 's system ticks all the necessary boxes , and its N7 B550 upgrade ensures you get all the connectivity and sockets you need for all those peripherals . You are paying a premium , however , so if you 're just looking for a pure gaming machine those extras might @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is n't for everyone , and this 64GB spec probably is n't for anyone . If you 're a dedicated PC tweaker looking for a new base system to upgrade down the line , you 'd want to look elsewhere anyways . But if you just want a simple , good-looking PC that will tear through gaming frame rates out of the box , the Aurora R13 comes with far better-value specs lists than this . Corsair delivers a welcome burst of gaming performance to its compact gaming PCs with the a200 , bringing the best of AMD Ryzen and Nvidia GeForce into a single , compact machine . PC Gamer score : 87% One of the most significant advantages of building your PC is the ability to hand-pick every single component in the system . This enables you to take your time shopping around for deals and finding the best combination of parts to fit your budget and performance needs . The downside for most inexperienced builders is that this process can take some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . You only get warranties on the individual components , not your finished build , and this is where the best prebuilt gaming PCs shine . When you pay the premium to configure or purchase a prebuilt PC , you pay for more than just the parts . You pay for warranty service , support , and peace of mind that professionals put your system together . These are some of the things we value highly when considering what the best gaming PC is . We also look at other selling points , like design , upgradability , and anything you would n't be able to do when building it yourself . One of the most significant factors that make PCs stand apart from the competition is the design . Prebuilt systems like the Alienware Aurora R10 or Corsair One use unique in-house chassis designs you would n't be able to purchase when building it yourself . You can take some comfort in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ house your configuration , though that can make upgrading more awkward later on down the line . When we set out to choose our top choices of prebuilt gaming PCs , we look at almost every major manufacturer and system integrator to find the best combination of value , reliability , customer feedback , design , and performance for various budgets and needs .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'conjure energy out of nothing', where 'nothing' is not a VP[-ing] predicate and does not involve a causee.

Roseberry Place , on Hanzard Drive , Wynyard , is now under construction with completion on the first phase expected in Autumn 2025 . The development , comprising nine units set over two storeys , has space for a range of retailers , salons , professional services and healthcare providers . The 17,000 sq ft development has received significant interest from a range of national and regional operators , say the developers . It is expected that more than 30 jobs will be created once the units have been occupied in addition to 35 jobs during the construction phase . The site is being marketed by Bradley Hall , via its local office in Teesside along with the landlord , Wynyard Park . Joseph I'Anson , director of Bradley Hall Tees Valley , said : " We 're really glad that Roseberry Place has got off the ground so quickly and our client is so proactive with the scheme .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'born out of wanting peace' which does not involve a transitive verb with an NP object and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of wanting peace' is more about the origin or cause rather than the transitive out of -ing construction.

Terrorist Patrick Magee ? detonated a bomb during the ? Conservative Party Conference in October 1984 , which ripped through The Grand hotel in the East Sussex town , injuring 34 and killing five , including Jo 's dad Anthony . 6 Jo Berry is now friends with Patrick Magee , the man who planted the bomb that killed her fatherCredit : Supplied 6 The Grand Hotel in Brighton was devastated after a bomb attack by the IRA in 1984Credit : Getty Now , decades on , Jo will mark this month 's 40th anniversary of the devastating attack by returning to the same church ? . ? . ? . ? and sitting next to the man who killed her beloved dad . In a remarkable exclusive interview Jo -- daughter of Tory MP Anthony Berry -- reveals how she now counts Magee as a friend . She says : " I care @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Our friendship is born out of wanting peace out of a horrendous event . " He is still the man who killed my father , but now he is my friend , too . " Of returning to St James 's Church in London 's Piccadilly with Magee , Jo said : " It was the place I made the commitment to myself to not dwell on anger and to try to understand those who did this to my father and make a positive change . " To return with Pat as my friend , four decades on , will be extremely special . " Today , Jo reveals how she had built up the courage to meet Magee , how a poem she had written him inspired him to apologise , and how the pair forged an unlikely friendship . Jo said : " It was a shock . I found out about his release from a TV report . " I was angry because I thought , ' Well , he 's got his life back . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ come back . How is this fair ? ' . " But then , when I calmed down , I thought , ' OK well , this is for peace , you know , this means less people are going to be killed ' . " And that was always my aim . I did n't want people going through what I 've been through . " I discovered he had got a PhD in prison , and that he was committed to peace , and eventually someone I knew said they could arrange a ? meeting . " We have had people ask how we know each other . I have to tell the truth ; that he was the man who killed my father . But Pat does not want forgiveness . Pat will never forgive himself ? Jo Berry So in November 2000 , Jo met Patrick for the first time at a friend 's home in Dublin . She said : " It was terrifying going over there . I felt very on my own . I did n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as one-off , and then I would never meet him again . " I wanted to see him beyond all the labels -- he was seen as the most evil terrorist we had . " I wanted to hear his story , but I also thought , ' Is this betraying my father by going there ? ' . " At first he started talking about the political justification . He was speaking for his group , his tribe , his people , and it was very clinical . It was the talk of war , really . " I remember , at different times , having my own conversations inside myself , like , ' He does n't look like a terrorist ' . ' I should n't be here ' . ' I 'm with the man who killed my father ' . " I was listening and acknowledging what he had gone through . I think that surprised him . " Then Jo read Magee a poem she had written him called Bridges Can Be Built . She said : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " He started changing . There were tears on both sides and he said , ' I do n't know who I am any more ' . " He was disarmed at that point by my empathy . 6 Then PM Margaret Thatcher and her husband Denis were pictured leaving the Grand Hotel after the bomb attack by the IRACredit : Getty - Contributor " He became curious about my dad , which he had n't been , because when he planted that bomb he did n't see any human beings in the hotel . That 's the nature of violence . " He 'd dehumanised those in the hotel in the same way he accused others of dehumanising him and all of the IRA . " And then he said he was really sorry he killed my dad . " When I got home , I felt disorien ? ta ? ted , like I 'd broken a society taboo . I 've met my enemy and I 've seen them as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be more meetings . " And there were . Jo added : " It was never a friendship that early on . It took a long time to feel that . " In the coming years , the pair met more . At her invitation , Pat began attending the talks Jo gives globally on peace and understanding for her charity , Building Bridges For Peace . She added : " I met him to change myself and not to change him . In the process , we 've both been chang ? ed . We both learnt and have grown . " It 's not always easy . There are still challenges . It 's emotional . " I 'm really grateful to Pat because it 's given me so much insight . " I call Pat my friend because I care about him , and we 've been to places where he 's the only person I know . " We have meals together , sit next to each other on flights , talk on the phone . Most of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ something , he will listen , and there 's a respect there for what I 'm feeling . " He 's never tried to control or change me or dismiss what I say . He 's always taking it really seriously , and that helps the friendship . " He often asks me about Dad . He understands the ripple effect . " I sometimes think the journey he 's on is actually harder , because he has to live with the fact he killed a wonderful human being . " The more he knows me , the more he knows my dad . " On the 40th anniversary , Jo says there will be no contact with Pat , " just a private family day " . I met him to change myself and not to change him . In the process , we 've both been chang ? ed . We both learnt and have grown . Jo Berry But on October 16 , she and Pat will sit side by side at an event for charity , The Forgiveness @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will talk publically of their experiences . She said : " It will be coming full circle , the completion of a journey I began 40 years ago . " Of the global work she does ? ? ? -- ? ? ? often with Magee by her side -- Jo said : " It was 15 years ago that Building Bridges For Peace became a charity . I was 27 when my father died so it 's my life 's work . " My message is one of understanding , that we can end the cycle of violence and revenge . " I want us to create a world where all have a voice , all matter and we all have a story . I 'd like us to listen to people who are different without blaming and shaming them . " Jo added : " I think some people think I 've betrayed my dad because I 'm now friends with a man who killed him . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'priced out of buying' does not involve a V1 verb acting on an NP object to cause a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a situation where people are unable to buy due to pricing, without the specific causative structure required by the transitive out of -ing construction.

The new research from Zoopla makes for disheartening reading ( Picture : Getty Images ) Welcome to Metro 's money blog , where we 're sharing new findings that four in 10 working people ca n't afford to buy a typical home . Of those living in the capital , nearly three-quarters ( 74% ) are unable to buy an average two- or three-bedroom property with an 80% loan-to-value mortgage , according to Zoopla . More than half ( 58% ) of people in the south east , south west , and east of England face the same barriers , while the problem was found to be worsening in a growing number of cities including York ( 61% ) , Leicester ( 46% ) and Edinburgh ( 45% ) . Mortgages are set to become cheaper as the Bank of England continues to shave down interest rates , but industry figures hope the upcoming Autumn Budget will see new policies supporting first-time buyers . No matter how you slice it , the figures from Zoopla make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ better affordability , but still see 20-30% of workers on lower incomes priced out of the housing market . In York , 61% of workers are unable to buy an average-priced home , while the figures stand at 57% in Trafford , 46% in Leicester , and 45% in Edinburgh . The affordability crisis is particularly severe for single-earner households . According to Zoopla 's findings , 57% of single earners are unable to purchase a lower-priced home ( in the lower quartile of the market ) . Plus , Bank of England data shows that the proportion of single earners securing mortgages has dropped from 45% in 2007 to just 32% today . Richard Donnell , executive director at Zoopla , said : ' The unaffordability of home ownership is a real risk to labour mobility and economic growth , particularly in southern England . ' As more people are priced out of buying , the pressure on the rental sector intensifies , with rents rising faster than house prices since the pandemic . ' October 4 , 2024 2:21 pm The chief executive of Sainsbury 's says Brits are nervous about spending money on big-ticket items ahead of the upcoming autumn Budget . Simon Roberts said people are being cautious about buying expensive items as the government is expected to announce tax rises on October 30 . This is despite falling inflation , higher wages , and solid employment levels , he says . He said : ' Discretionary markets continue to be difficult . Consumers inevitably are wanting to be clearer about what 's going to happen next and for that reason we see a continued caution in discretionary spending . ' We need to see interest rates continue to come down because that directly impacts household spending . I think clarity in the budget , one way or another , is helpful . ' In a few weeks time the government will announce its biggest raft of tax and spending policies since Labour came into power . Keir Starmer has warned the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chancellor , Rachel Reeves , said ' difficult decisions ' must be made to tackle a ' ? 22 billion black hole ' in the government 's coffers . Independent think-tanks and economists have stressed that the figure is ' speculative ' and relatively small -- total spending will be around ? 1,226 billion -- while markets are not showing any loss of confidence in the UK 's public finances . But Labour has already announced cuts -- slimming down winter fuel payments and axing major infrastructure projects -- suggesting more are on the way . Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves warned parts of the budget could be ' painful ' ( Picture : Getty ) Ms Reeves previously said she ' will look closely at our welfare system , because if someone can work , they should work ' . It 's likely she will avoid an overall freeze of the kind used by David Cameron 's government , in which case payments will rise in line with inflation ( expected to come in around 2% ) . Ministers may favour less headline-grabbing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ such as reducing the number of people claiming benefits by tweaking eligibility rules . Health Secretary Wes Streeting has previously hinted that working-age benefits could be targeted . Speaking to the New Statesman earlier this month he suggested pensioners may feel unfairly targeted by the cuts to winter fuel payments and that the new measures could address that . Labour 's election manifesto said the work capability assessment ( WCA ) ' needs to be reformed or replaced ' , but has n't said how . On the other hand , Labour has made more noise about changes to the tax system , including capital gains , inheritance tax , fuel duty and pension tax relief . The work and pensions secretary , Liz Kendall , said her party will end the ' salami slicing ' of benefits seen under previous Conservative governments . Whatever changes are ultimately in store is not yet clear , however . The only firm preview ministers have given is that VAT , income tax and National Insurance wo n't be increased . Sterling dropped against the US Dollar and Euro yesterday after Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey suggested more ' aggressive ' rate cuts could be on the way . Huw told the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales ( ICAEW ) that borrowing costs will need to be gradually reduced to keep inflation sustainably close to target levels . He added : ' At present , there is ample reason for caution in assessing the dissipation of inflation persistence . ' While further cuts in Bank Rate remain in prospect should the economic and inflation outlook evolve broadly as expected , it will be important to guard against the risk of cutting rates either too far or too fast . ' For me , the need for such caution points to a gradual withdrawal of monetary policy restriction . ' October 4 , 2024 9:29 am The SNP is calling on Chancellor Rachel Reeves to scrap the bedroom tax in the upcoming Budget . The bedroom tax means deductions are made from benefits if the recipient has a spare bedroom in their home . Up in Scotland the government has tried to mitigate the effects of the bedroom tax using discretionary housing payments , as just under 100,000 households in Scotland are affected by it . SNP deputy Westminster leader Pete Wishart said : ' Thousands of low-income families across Scotland and the UK are being pushed into poverty by punitive Labour government policies like the bedroom tax . ' Voters in Scotland were promised change but so far all they have seen is Labour government ministers lining their own pockets with more than ? 800,000 of freebies , while imposing painful austerity cuts on the rest of us . ' It 's not a good look that the Chancellor seems to be more interested in bagging designer clothes for herself than tackling poverty . ' She must use the UK Budget @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tax without further delay . ' This is a cruel policy that punishes the poorest households simply for living in their family homes -- and it disproportionately affects Scotland . ' It 's shameful that the Labour government made the political choice to keep it in place . ' Politics is about priorities -- the SNP government is spending hundreds of millions tackling poverty and cleaning up the mess that successive Labour and Tory UK governments have imposed on Scotland . ' If the Chancellor fails to act , the Labour government will push even more families into poverty and cost Scotland millions of pounds every year . ' The government has been contacted for comment . October 4 , 2024 8:38 am Finances are having an impact on family planning ( Picture : Getty Images ) Just over half of the 7,200 millennials , born in 1989-90 and who have taken part in a major analysis by the UCL Centre for Longitudinal Studies , have already become parents while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ start a family in the future . But only one in four of those who said they wanted to be parents or have more offspring said they were currently trying . More than a quarter ( 28% ) of those who said they either want children or want more children but were not currently trying to conceive said financial reasons were behind their decision-making . Women were more likely to have financial concerns than men , while more than twice as many men as women ( 11% of men compared to 5% of women ) said their partner 's work was the reason they currently were n't trying to conceive . The paper stated : ' These findings highlight the significant role that finances and employment play in the decision on when to start trying for a(nother) child . ' The slightly higher prevalence of these concerns among women may reflect existing evidence that women 's careers often suffer setbacks in income and career progression after childbirth . ' Previous research has shown that a high proportion of individuals who have uncertain fertility intentions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , end up not having children at all . ' Taken together , our findings suggest that we might expect to see a smaller average family size and a higher proportion of individuals without children among this cohort compared to older generations . ' New research by Tax Accountant UK suggests Elmbridge in Surrey has the highest rate of council tax in Britain . With an average of ? 2,646 per dwelling , no wonder Elmbridge once received the moniker of ' Britain 's Beverly Hills ' -- although Surrey certainly has fewer palm trees than California . If you 're looking to live somewhere with lower council tax bills , we recommend giving Surrey a swerve altogether , as seven out of 10 areas with the highest rates of council tax are located in the county . Only Richmond-upon-Thames , Wokingham and Rutland from the top 10 are outside of Surrey . The study suggests Wandsworth in London is the cheapest place in England for council tax , at an average @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the most expensive areas to buy a property . Aatif Malik , managing director at Tax Accountant UK , told Sky News the findings ' highlight a clear trend ' that areas with higher council tax rates are ' predominantly affluent , with a strong correlation between property values and the cost of local services ' . October 4 , 2024 7:49 am Tom MacInnes , Director of Policy at Citizens Advice , said last month : ' This price stamp increase could n't be coming at a worse time for consumers , who will now be paying more than double the price of a first class stamp compared to five years ago . ' Royal Mail is choosing to hike prices far beyond the rate of inflation at a time when millions continue to miss important letters , as a result of post delays . ' People should n't be having to fork out more while experiencing such poor service . ' Ofcom should be holding Royal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get away with setting rocketing prices in the wake of half a decade of missed delivery targets . ' We need the regulator to make sure reforms of our postal service put the needs of consumers first -- not Royal Mail 's bottom line . ' The price of first-class stamps for standard letters went up by 14% in October 2023 ( from ? 1.10 to ? 1.25 ) and then rose by a further 8% in April 2024 ( to the current ? 1.35 ) . Royal Mail blames the latest hikes on increasing cost pressures and its requirement under the ' universal service obligation ' to deliver letters to all UK addresses six days a week . The number of addresses it delivers to rose by four million between 2004/05 and 2023/24 , but the number of letters being sent has dropped massively Nick Landon , chief commercial officer at Royal Mail , said : ' We always consider price increases very carefully . However , when letter volumes have declined by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ letter inevitably increases . ' A complex and extensive network is needed to get every letter and parcel across the country for a single price -- travelling on trucks , planes , ferries and in some cases drones before it reaches its final destination delivered on foot . ' We are proud to deliver the universal service , but the financial cost is significant . ' October 4 , 2024 7:14 am Martin Lewis offers this advice to beat the price increase : ' For years , every time stamps go up in price I 've suggested people stock up and bulk-buy in advance , as provided the stamp does n't have a price on it and instead just says the postage class , it 's still valid after the hike .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It involves the phrase 'opted out of viewing it', where 'viewing it' is a gerund phrase, but the subject 'Diane and Nigel' are not causing an object to move out of or preventing an object from an action. Instead, they are choosing not to participate in the action themselves. Therefore, it does not meet the criteria for the transitive out of -ing construction.

Passengers will be able to seamlessly pay-as-you-go on buses and trams from March 23 next year , it 's been confirmed . The move means passengers can use their phone or contactless bank card on either a tram or bus , and be charged for one ' multi-modal ' ticket , capped at ? 9.50 for unlimited travel within Greater Manchester for a day . There will be off-peak discounts for journeys starting after 9:30am , with a lower ? 7.80 cap for all-Greater Manchester travel . By the time the new ticket system comes in , all of the region 's buses will be under public control .

When you purchase through links on our site , we may earn an affiliate commission . Here 's how it works . ( Image credit : David Paul Morris/Bloomberg via Getty Images ) In today 's installment of the AI boom turning privacy into a quaint anachronism cherished by people born before the year 2000 , Facebook parent company Meta has confirmed to TechCrunch that pictures taken by its new Ray Ban smart glasses and analyzed by onboard Meta AI tools , as well as recordings of all voice commands given to the glasses ( unless you opt out ) , will be used by the company to train its AI models . When I first heard " Facebook Ray Ban , " my mind jumped to that old FB Messenger scam ? -- you know , your old college RA or a friend of a friend 's roommate DMing you after three years of silence to hawk 90% off spectacles at a credit card number-scraping website after their account got hacked . But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : Meta 's " then as farce , again " to the farce of Google Glass , a collab with eyewear brand Ray Ban to produce specs with a little camera in the frame , voice activated and sporting various functions powered by Meta 's proprietary AI models . When TechCrunch first inquired about how these images would be stored and used by Meta , the company provided a CIA-style " we can neither confirm nor deny , " which strikes me as a bit of a red flag . In a follow up story , Meta confirmed to TechCrunch that any images analyzed by the glasses ' onboard " Meta AI " tool are considered fair game for the company to store and train its AI models on . " In locations where multimodal AI is available ( currently US and Canada ) , images and videos shared with Meta AI may be used to improve it per our privacy policy , " explained a representative for the company . That makes it sound opt-in , but one of the main selling points of the glasses is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ camera to your face with the power to record everything you see , and saying the wrong thing to it could make some of what you recorded the property of a mega corporation with an demonstrated lack of regard for individual privacy . Speaking of the things you say to your weird camera glasses , Meta 's privacy policy also outlines that recordings of voice commands given to the tool are stored by Meta and used to train AI models as well , though TechCrunch notes that users can opt out of this when setting up a Meta AI account . But I find myself feeling resentful of these practices less for customers willingly opting in to this exciting new form of surveillance to the tune of $300 a pop , and more on behalf of friends , family , and those randomly passing by such tech pioneers ? -- people who will have no idea they 're participating in Meta 's grand experiments . We already seem far too comfortable filming strangers and sharing it on social media , and now we 're inventing new , ever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for fun and profit . A pair of Harvard students has already jailbroken Meta 's new Ray Bans and empowered them with a search engine that uses facial recognition to produce personal details of anyone the wearer looks at ? -- basically doxing on command . It 's also already a matter of policy for Meta to train its AI models on all public Facebook and Instagram posts made by Americans , with an opt-out process that requires you to justify your decision to the $1.5 trillion market cap corporation . As for how to opt out of having your likeness used to train AI models without your consent via AI-empowered Ray Bans , some extra scrutiny around people with thick-framed glasses might be in order ? -- I promise I do n't have a camera in mine !

This summer , the Nobel laureate Prof Aaron Ciechanover joined a group of prominent Israelis gathered in the ruins of the Nir Oz kibbutz to demand a hostage release and ceasefire deal . Nir Oz was the worst hit of all the communities targeted by Hamas on 7 October , with a quarter of its residents kidnapped or killed . Twenty-nine are still in Gaza . If the hostages were not brought back , the basic social contract that underpinned Israeli society would unravel , the 77-year-old professor of medicine warned -- with catastrophic consequences for the entire country . He cited an accelerating " brain drain " of doctors and other professionals as a worrying sign that some of Israel 's elite already feel they no longer have a future in the country . And without them , Israel itself might struggle to have a future . Ciechanover is a long-term critic of Benjamin Netanyahu and joined protests against his government before the war . But concern about this trend is not limited to political opponents of the Israeli leader . Earlier this year , Netanyahu 's former chair of the National Economic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expert Ron Tzur to warn that Israel faces an existential threat . In a paper calling for a new political settlement , they warned that under a business-as-usual scenario " there is a considerable likelihood that Israel will not be able to exist as a sovereign Jewish state in the coming decades " . Among the threats they highlighted were rising emigration , particularly among the people who have built up Israel 's hi-tech sector and the schools and hospitals vital to attracting the global elite . " Israel 's locomotive of growth is innovation , and that is driven by a small group of several tens of thousands of people in a country of 10 million , " the paper warned . " The weight of their departure from the country is immense in comparison to their number .

Noam is a father of three with businesses that include a PR consultancy and a cannabis pharmacy . He expected that his 40s would be a time of " less doing , more enjoying " , after decades of hard work . Instead , he and his wife spend evenings poring over school options in European countries as they weigh up where to start a new life . The war increased the urgency of the search , but it has been a decision born out of longstanding concerns . " The main reason we are leaving is that we are seeking a better future for our children . Even if peace can be brokered tomorrow , we still ca n't see a future we want to be a part of , " Noam said . " The demographics speak for themselves . " He thinks Israel 's economy will be hampered by the growing number of ultra-orthodox young people not qualified for professional jobs because they do not study maths or science , or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ religious conservatives will make life hard for secular Jews . " If you ask me what we are headed for , you can look at the Iranian model , where religion plays a major role in daily life . " Even without the enemies we have all around the region , that 's a good enough reason for any child loving parent to take his children away from harm . " Secular Israelis who prioritise living in a liberal democracy are a shrinking portion of Israel 's population , said Uri Ram , professor of sociology and anthropology at Ben Gurion University of the Negev . By 2015 , only a minority -- although , at 45% , a large one -- of the Jewish population in Israel defined themselves as secular , and that is shrinking as religious and ultra-orthodox Jewish families , on average , have more children . Data from the first class at elementary schools in 2023 showed that only 40% of children were in the secular stream , he said . " There is a growing problem of ' brain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if the military risk is not reduced and , secondly , if the state does indeed turn more populist-autocratic , " said Ram , who has researched the struggle for Israel 's future between liberal , mostly secular Israelis like Noam and a group he describes as ethno-religious traditionalists . " In these situations , the upper middle classes will send their young generations abroad . Jews are well networked in desired academic and professional markets abroad , and family and work connections will assist the integration of young , educated Israeli immigrants in the desired locations . " A protest against Netanyahu 's proposed changes to the judiciary in July last year . Photograph : Ohad Zwigenberg/AP While the horrors of 7 October are not the root cause of departures , they have accelerated them for many Israelis . Noam said over the last year that five or six families at his children 's school had taken their children out of classes to head abroad , and that he wanted to give his children back a " normal " childhood after a year of alarms and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's news and culture brought to you by the best Observer writers Enter your email address Privacy Notice : Newsletters may contain info about charities , online ads , and content funded by outside parties .

Others felt their social contract with the state had broken down , as they sent their children to die as soldiers while tens of thousands of ultra-orthodox men were exempted from military service . " All the elders , the people I hold dear , they say : go , leave . These are people who fought , played an active role in building this place , " Noam said . " The other thing they tell us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This is a major , major shift . " Dror Sadot and her partner also decided they had to speed up their planned departure after the war started . They were horrified by how many Israelis were supporting a war that has killed more than 41,000 Palestinians , the majority of them civilians , and felt isolated at home . " It was n't even just the usual suspects . People who consider themselves as leftists started talking about revenge , saying this is a just war , " she said . They booked a flight to Berlin a month after 7 October and Sadot does not think she will go back . Although learning German is a struggle , she feels at home in other ways . " In Israel , I 'm considered as crazy in the best case , in the worst case a traitor . At least here my opinions are accepted , " she said . Most of her friends would like to leave as well . " Everyone is talking about it , a few have done it , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ privilege to leave . Especially if we talk about Palestinians , but also not all Israelis have a second passport , or they have family responsibilities , " she said . It is hard to evaluate the scale of departures so far . In 2023 , during the prewar domestic turmoil over Netanyahu 's judicial reforms , there was a net departure from Israel of between 30,000 and 40,000 people , the newspaper Haaretz reported . Immigration is not only one-way : some Israelis abroad have seen a country in crisis and decided to return . Noam Bardin , a former chief executive of the satnav app Waze , flew back to Israel on 8 October . Tech firms drive the economy but only employ 10% of the workforce , Bardim told Haaretz in a recent interview , warning that , without that talent , Israel 's recent years of economic success could unravel . " That 's only 400,000 people , 50,000 of whom comprise the main engine -- engineers , senior executives at funds , whom the whole world is trying to recruit . If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " Ciechanover fears the process is accelerating faster than is captured by official statistics or anecdotal observations . It takes time to pass the exams needed to practise in another country , and find jobs , housing and schools . Many colleagues do n't tell friends or family when they start this process . " We call it silent departing , " said Ciechanover . " They wo n't let anyone know until they board the airplane . " He cited the recent loss of a senior paediatrician who announced she had decided to extend a fellowship for three years days before she was expected back in Israel . Committed to Israel , he flips between hope and despair for its future , but intends to see it take shape from his home . " I am not going to be an emigrant , " he said . " I 'm proud of my old country , and not looking for a new one . " |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes a consequence of getting an answer wrong (getting injured and locked out of answering again) rather than involving a causer causing a causee to move out of or be prevented from an action. The phrase 'locked out of answering again' does not involve a verb in the V1 slot that fits the semantic classifications for the construction, nor does it clearly induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'lots of parents, especially mums' is the NP object and 'being able to work' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also gives rise to a prevention interpretation, as the high childcare fees are preventing parents from being able to work. The verb 'priced' can be classified under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically'. The NP object 'lots of parents, especially mums' functions as a causee who is affected by the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Parents across Scotland are voicing their frustration over exorbitant childcare costs , which are preventing many from working full time or consuming more than half of their earnings . Scotland is reported to have the highest childcare expenses in Europe , with a full-time nursery spot for a two year old child costing an eye-watering ? 270 per week , as per Day Nurseries . The steep prices are effectively sidelining parents from the workforce or limiting their work hours . Rhiannon Neale , a photographer based in Scotstoun with her husband Paul and their children Charlotte , seven , and nearly three year old Poppy , has spoken out about the financial strain . Hailing originally from Canada , Rhiannon finds Glasgow 's childcare fees to be prohibitively expensive for most families . They shell out ? 900 a month for Poppy 's nursery care for just 2.5 days a week , forcing Rhiannon to often work on her editing until 1am after the kids are in bed . Poppy , who has Rett syndrome -- a rare genetic disorder affecting her movement and speech -- requires specialised nursery care , for which the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : " Poppy was at another slightly cheaper nursery but we did n't like the standard of care so moved her to one with a more specialist approach to children with additional needs . We are paying ? 900 a month for Poppy to attend 2.5 days a week which is just outrageous . That is more than most people would earn in 2.5 days . " I 'm from Canada where friends are paying $400 , about ? 220 , for full time nursery hours . Something needs to be done , it makes working not an option for lots of families " , reports Glasgow Live . " Being a photographer I work a lot of weekends and my husband has the kids while I work and then I squeeze in my other work while the kids are at school and nursery but it is a struggle . I am regularly up editing until 1am because I need to fit in the work while the kids are asleep . If childcare was more affordable I could work in normal hours . " Rhiannon , who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Courage , added : " It is so disheartening , lots of parents , especially mums , are priced out of being able to work with the high childcare fees . It makes re-entering the world of work more difficult and you lost a bit of your sense of identity . " Lesley Collins runs The mum Club Glasgow with Steph McLeish . The club connects mums , giving them a community and place to meet and chat . She said the theme of childcare costs comes up a lot at the brunch meet ups they host . Lesley , a mum of two , said : " The Mum Club Glasgow has a lot of brand new mums and they are often shocked at the price of childcare , it makes going back to work impossible for lots . We see mums worried about how they are going to pay nursery fees as well as all the other household bills .

" Additionally , he pointed out , " With a quarter of children growing up in workless families , childcare is key to tackling child poverty and helping parents to work , learn and boost family income . " Burke stressed the importance of childcare as a community cornerstone , akin to schools and hospitals , calling for substantial long-term government investment : " Childcare is a crucial part of the local community like schools and hospitals and needs much greater long-term government funding .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes an ability to create moments 'out of nothing', which is a metaphorical expression not involving a causee or a VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, it does not qualify as an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Bath Rugby fell to their first defeat of the 2024/25 Gallagher Premiership season on Saturday , paying for a very poor first half as they lost 36-26 at The Rec to their West Country rivals Bristol Bears . The Bears were able to secure the try bonus point in the first half thanks to some sublime and clinical attacking rugby , and they held on in the second half to earn a massive win . Two tries for debutant Santiago Grondona , as well as tries for Max Malins , Benhard Janse van Rensburg and man-of-the-match Gabriel Oghre , as well as 11 points off the boot from flyhalf AJ MacGinty steered the Bears to victory . Bath were slow and ponderous at times in the first half , unable to get any hold of the game , both in attack and in defence . They came good in the second half , but they could not keep their 100 percent record going . Sam Harris , Will Butt , Ross Molony and Ollie Lawrence scored tries , meaning they earned a try bonus point from the contest , while Finn Russell scored nine points thanks to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ closer look at the individual performances from the Bath players ... In what was his first start of the season , he could not have marked it in any better way against Bristol . The full-back fielded a 22 clearance from the Bears , and Harris sliced through the rushing defence from the halfway line , diving over and scoring a wonderful 55m solo try . However , it all went downhill for him afterwards in the first half , with multiple drops and missed tackles . He was able to hold on to a couple of high balls in the second half , but his 2024 debut ended when he was replaced before 60 minutes . The usual full-back moved to the wing as both Wil Muir and Joe Cokanasiga were out with injuries , but in a first half that was dominated by the Bears , De Glanville saw very little of the ball . After some substitutes were made , he moved back to his natural position at 15 , and although @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some fast hands led to some of Bath 's overlaps . His adaptability and quality in each position has been , and will be , vital for Bath this season , showing his quality in all three games so far this season . A blunt and slow Bath attack in the first 40 minutes meant that Lawrence , who earned man-of-the-match last week against the Tigers , did not get a sniff at all . In defence , the outside centre would have been hoping for more impact too , giving Bristol the freedom to score with ease . However , as it has been in the opening two games of the season , you can not keep the big man quiet . He was able to score Bath 's bonus point try as he danced away from tackles on the right wing , showing his ability to create moments out of nothing when it is required . It has been a fantastic first two games for the inside centre , playing some of the best @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was not his finest , highlighted with some flat play in attack . There were also some lapses in concentration in defence which led to Bristol 's fourth try after 36 minutes . After some substitutes in the backs were made , Butt moved to the left wing , and after 26 minutes of pressure in Bristol 's half , Butt was the scorer , diving over in the left-hand corner to cut the deficit . He did not see much of the ball after that , and he could not break through a resolute Bears defence . McConnochie made his first appearance of the season in the matchday 23 as a result of the injuries for the Blue , Black and White , but like De Glanville , he did not get much ball in hand in the first half . Although Bath 's attack in the second half was far more cohesive in the second 40 , the winger did not see too much of the ball once again before he came off . However , with the few opportunities he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ extra metres when they did not look like they were on offer . After arguably his worst performance in a Bath shirt last weekend against Leicester , the flyhalf did not get a chance to stamp his authority onto the game . The Blue , Black and White were very blunt and slow in attack , not creating anything with any structure in the first 40 , with the Scottish international having very little input like he usually does attacking-wise . However , it did n't take long for Russell to make the magic happen in the second half , with the backs having much more control of the game . The flyhalf was instrumental in Bath 's third try , selling a sublime dummy to break through the Bristol defence , racing from the 10-metre line to five metres out before offloading to Ross Molony to score . However , Russell could not make much else happen after creating the third try , making it two lacklustre performances in succession . For Spencer , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from Saracens . However , it was a very scrappy early 40 minutes for the Blue , Black and White , and Spencer was unable to take control of the game as he usually does . In the second half , where many thought Spencer would be able to take control of the game , he could not . There were loose passes and losses of the ball in positions where the scrum-half usually takes authority . His kicking game was not poor , but it was by no means fantastic , either . A rare off-week for Bath 's talisman on his 100th appearance . Bath earned an early scrum penalty to start the game , and Obano was used in multiple carries in the first half to try and burst through the Bristol defence . Unfortunately , the loosehead prop was unable to do so , with those carries stopped abruptly , and it looked like the Blue , Black and White were out of ideas in that first 40 . Just a minute into the second half , the England @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back , but he could not make any more inroads before he was taken off after 65 minutes . Annett made his first start of the season over Tom Dunn , but it was not the best 40 for the hooker . The lineout efficiency was extremely low , with Annett not connecting well with his fellow forwards at the set piece , one of many things that was not clicking for the Blue , Black and White . The lineout improved in the second half , but Annett did not last long in the second half , coming off quickly afterwards . The South African tighthead prop made his first start for the Blue , Black and White after his duty in the Rugby Championship . He showed his quality straightaway by earning scrum penalties in the first half , and his defensive work led to stopping what was a clinical Bears attack as they looked for a bonus-point try in just 34 minutes . There were a couple of errors from Du Toit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ off , but he made some huge carries in the second half as he always does , making his presence felt as he returned to the Premiership . It was a welcome return for ' The Tank ' . The first two games of the season have been great performances from Quinn Roux , but in the first half against the Bears , defensively , it was a poor showing , as the second rower missed tackles and let the opposition score three tries in three visits to the 22 . The lineout was not operating well , with Annett and Roux not on the same page at times , and it led to Roux being replaced after just 57 minutes . Early try let up by the Bath defence after just one-and-a-half minutes , and Ewels slipped off a couple of early tackles which gave the Bears easy metres to start , which they gladly took after earning the try bonus point after just 37 minutes . Although Bath may have improved in attack in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Bristol were able to strike once again with some more clinical attacking , and some more holes in the Bath defence . However , Ewels did not stop , and let set Lawrence free for the bonus point score . Crashed over on the right wing , but a boot from the Bristol defence meant the TMO judged him to have lost the ball before he dotted it down . It went from bad to worse for the back-rower , who gave away a needless penalty for pushing Ellis Genge in the back , and then he bit on the inside attack to let debutant Santiago Grondona through the Bath defence , with that try letting Bristol kick on and dominate the rest of the first half . There was not a lot doing for the flanker in the second half , and after some great performances since coming over from Worcester , today was not the greatest from Hill . Great work at the breakdown to turn the ball over which led to Hill @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first half from the home side , Pepper was perhaps the best of a bad bunch , making some metres when Bath were in attack , while also making himself a nuisance in the breakdown . There were patches of good work done by Pepper again who has looked really sharp since joining from Newcastle , and he is making an already competitive back-row locker room even more fierce . Positive yards with his first carry as he moved from flanker to number 8 , and he was able to get over the gain line multiple times going into contact , a little bit different from Alfie Barbeary who has struggled in the first part of the season . However , the defensive work from Reid would not have been something he would have been happy about , which could be said about the whole Bath squad . He was nullified at the breakdown , something he usually excels in , and he will hope to have more success in those rucks as the season continues . 16 Tom Dunn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 18 Will Stuart - 6 19 Ross Molony - 7 20 Sam Underhill - 5 21 Louis Schreuder - 6 22 Cameron Redpath - 6 23 Jaco Coetzee - 7 Story Saved You can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'out of' in a different context, referring to moving from one state (damaging temporary accommodation) to another (a settled home), without involving a VP2[-ing] predicate or the specific interpretations (movement/extraction or prevention) characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

They show the devastating impact homelessness has on peoples ' lives and it is shocking that so many , including families with children , are spending years without a place to call home . " We are taking action to tackle the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ putting in place lasting solutions rather than quick fixes . " We are reversing the worst housing crisis in living history by building 1.5 million new homes and are changing the law to abolish Section 21 ' no fault ' evictions -- immediately tackling one of the leading causes of homelessness .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'borne out of nothing' does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate, and there is no NP object functioning as a causee. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

( Image credit : Warner Bros . ) Joker : Folie a Deux may have left you a little clown in the dumps , but put on a happy face -- director Todd Phillips has broken down the controversial ( and much-talked-about ) finale , and it might make you appreciate the sequel 's subversive twists a little more . During Joker : Folie a Deux 's third act , Arthur -- now defending himself -- addresses the courtroom at his own trial and suddenly rejects the Joker persona , while revealing that he and Joker are one and the same , not a result of a split personality . He even admits to a sixth killing ( that of his own mother ) in front of the jury -- before a bomb rips through the courtroom and a dazed Arthur staggers out to be scooped up by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Phillips says the moment is n't borne out of nothing , instead pointing to the death of fellow inmate Ricky as the catalyst for the turn . " When those guards kill that kid in the hospital he realizes that dressing up in makeup , putting on this thing , it 's not changing anything , " Phillips explains . " In some ways , he 's accepted the fact that he 's always been Arthur Fleck ; he 's never been this thing that 's been put upon him , this idea that Gotham people put on him , that he represents . He 's an unwitting icon . This thing was placed on him , and he does n't want to live as a fake anymore -- he wants to be who he is . " But what he is -- Arthur -- is something ( as Phillips points out ) that Lady Gaga 's ' Lee ' Quinn does n't call him until their final scene together on those iconic Brooklyn steps .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'ran out of' which is a phrasal verb indicating depletion, not a construction involving causation or prevention. The phrase 'cleaning supplies' is an NP complement of the preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate, and there is no NP object functioning as a causee.

It is over 30 years since Absolutely Fabulous popped up on our TV screens like a joyful shower of champers corks . Now , the cast of the classic sitcom have reunited to reveal secrets of the show and pay tribute to actors such as June Whitfield , no longer with us but whose presence is still felt . Edina Monsoon and Patsy Stone -- Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley -- first stumbled onto the BBC in 1992 . It was a sitcom like no other and Ab Fab immediately won a huge fan base . But the show might never have got off the ground or even starred Joanna . Here , the cast and crew explain all ... Absolutely Fabulous came about when Dawn French was not available for another series of French & Saunders . Jennifer was free and had the idea to make a sitcom from a sketch they had done called Modern Mother and Daughter . Viewers were introduced to straight-laced Saffy , played by Dawn , and her dramatic , self-involved mother who , at this point , was named Adriana . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( Image : BBC ) Jennifer recalls : " It went on for about nine minutes . So , I thought , ' It 's only two of those and you 've got a sitcom . " Little did she know it would spawn five series , 39 episodes and a movie . Patsy ended up being an iconic role for Joanna but she almost gave up on the project before it started . First put up for the part by pal Ruby Wax , she and Jennifer did n't hit it off when they met up for a rehearsal . Joanna recalls : " I rang my agent and I said , ' Look , I do n't think Jennifer wants me , but she 's too polite to say anything . Do you think you can get me out of this ? ' And my agent said , ' No , it 's a pilot , just do it . Might not take off . ' " I nearly was n't Patsy ! @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ part of Patsy ( Image : BBC Studios ) The comedy almost came unstuck before it really began as BBC head of comedy Robin Nash was not an initial fan and BBC comics were primarily male . Asked what he thought , Nash said : " I 've never found women being drunk very funny . " Thankfully , the live audience at the Autumn 1991 pilot loved it . Producer Jon Plowman recalls : " My abiding memory is at the end of it I saw Ben Elton and Ben said , ' Well , I 've seen the future of comedy and it 's that ' . " It may have been fabulously funny , but it was created at the last minute with some scenes improvised because Jennifer was terrible at finishing scripts or writing to deadlines . Jon recalls : " The relationship that Jennifer and I had about scripts consisted , usually , of me ringing and saying , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there , Jennifer ? ' ' Um ... two or three weeks . ' I knew she was lying to me , but we were in a world where that was okay . " Jennifer Saunders would write the Ab Fab script but sometimes relied on the cast to do a bit of improv ( Julia Sawalha says : " In the first series , the scripts were there , the plots were there , but not -- the scenes were n't finished . And I started to get really nervous about that . I thought I was flailing . I -- well , I was flailing . And I said to Jane Horrocks , who played Bubble , ' I 'm struggling so much . ' And Jane said , ' Oh , I 'm exactly the same . I feel exactly the same . ' " Script editor Ruby says : " Jennifer once gave me a script saying , ' A scene where something funny happens . ' " Jennifer admits : " Do you remember we were rehearsing Huntin ' , Shootin ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I remember thinking , ' What the excuse ? And the excuse was my computer would n't work on the train , so I could n't write it . " Joanna replies : " But by the end of it , we had a show . " Jane Horrocks insists with a cackle she almost did n't get into the sitcom . She says : " I did the film Life is Sweet and Jennifer saw that , and I think that 's why I got the audition . But when she saw me in real life , ' She ca n't play my daughter ! She 's far too old ! ' " Jane Horrocks played the eccentric character , Bubble , in the hit series ( Image : UKTV ) Jennifer said : " Jane was n't right , but I thought , ' She 's just too good not to have as something . ' So , I made Bubble for Jane . She was going to be posh but then we met Jane and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ JULIA SAWALHA WANTED to keep SAFFY SIMPLE Julia , who played Edina 's serious , prim daughter Saffy , was nervous auditioning for " one of my heroines " in Jennifer but got the gig . It was n't all plain sailing though as she admits she struggled initially remembering all her lines from the last-minute changes being made . Julia , who played Saffy , admits struggling to remember her lines with all the last-minute script changes ( Image : UKTV ) Julia also stuck with cheap , boring clothes and asked costume workers to iron a crease down the front of her jeans . Jennifer says : " I said , ' You could move up to Benetton . ' She just said , ' No , no . It 's got to be the worst . It 's got to be Eddie 's nightmare ' . " June , who died in 2018 , was in almost every show as Edina 's sarcastic mum . Jennifer says : " She was just fabulous . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ growing up with Terry and June and everything else , I thought she 'd be incredible . " Joanna remembers June 's doting husband was always on hand for her after filming . " The bar at the top , where June 's husband Tim would always be saying , ' That was a marvellous show . ' And he 'd always got a round of drinks . ' Well done . Well done , that was marvellously funny . ' " " She was just fabulous . She gave Mother such a madness , " said Joanna Lumley about her co-star June ( second from right ) ( Image : BBC ) Jennifer adds : " And he was , like , June 's , sort of , protector and way of getting out of anything that June might not be happy with . It was in case she wanted a quick getaway . " June loved Mother so much , she took her home with her , literally . Jennifer recalls : " Junie always chose clothes for Mother that she might @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the day . She always did . " The show was so popular that superstars made cameos , including Baby Spice Emma Bunton , singer Elton John and supermodel Twiggy . Spice Girl Emma Bunton played herself for her cameo in Ab Fab ( Image : BBC ) Of Hollywood star Whoopi Goldberg , Jennifer said : " She was fantastic , but she did not do a single line as written . Because she 's grown up in comedy and improv and everything , you present her with a script , she went completely off it . " |

With endless sugar-fine sands and aqua blue waters , the reef-ringed atolls of the Maldives are spectacular enough on the ground . But from the air , the hundreds of tropical islets that make up the Indian Ocean playground can be seen in all their glory as they unfold in front of you , like the iridescent eyes on the tail feathers of a peacock . The jaw-dropping vista drew loud gasps from my fellow travellers , followed by a mad scramble to get the mobile phone cameras clicking . It was one of the standout highlights of a nine-day , twin-resort trip to the Maldives in May . Villas on the white-sand beach . The 40-minute seaplane transfer from Male to the five-star Sun Siyam Iru Veli resort went past in a blur , courtesy of nature 's finest eye candy , and we were soon touching down on a turquoise lagoon for a three-night , all-inclusive stay . Maldivian-owned and family run , the secluded private resort @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ overwater suites , all featuring a private freshwater pool . I stayed in my own ocean villa that was the last word in luxury . A king-sized bedroom led to a spacious bathroom , complete with a freestanding tub and separate walk-in rain shower . Outdoors , a fully furnished deck had its own steps down to the lagoon and there was also a large private plunge pool that was perfect for sunset dips . One of my favourite treats was the resort 's famous floating breakfast . It was a joy to sit in my own pool overlooking the ocean while coffee and croissants were launched from the side . Bliss . A big draw is an all-inclusive premium food and drinks plan , which includes endless dining opportunities within Iru Veli 's six classy restaurants and bars . The main restaurant has a daily changing menu to mix up seasonal flavours . Mediterranean fare is served at Roma and Grouper Grill dishes up some of the finest seafood you 'll ever taste . a star-studded sky are just some of the other experiences on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and honeymooners . For the more adventurous , there are diving excursions and motorised water sports as well as guided snorkelling , fishing trips and sunset cruises . Dhaalu Atoll , where the resort is located , is a protected heritage site that is home to some incredible marine life , such as blue marlins , yellow snappers and rainbow runners . Younger guests are catered for at the Turtle Kids Club , with daily activities from breakfast until bedtime . The nightlife on the island is surprisingly lively too . I even found myself singing karaoke for the first time ever at one of the resorts many bars , belting out a tortured but spirited version of Stand By Me to an international crowd . Beach suites at Sun Siyam Iru Veli resort . For those curious about where the resort 's fresh produce is sourced , a tour to a neighbouring organic farm atoll is a must .

Food and other goods are expensive to import so they grow as much of their own produce as possible . The growth of tourism has also significantly increased the demand for food , which often leads to overfishing and unsustainable farming practices . The Maldives are the lowest-lying islands on Earth and its coral reefs are being devastated by coral bleaching , with a shocking 40% of them experiencing complete bleaching this year alone . These threats jeopardise the very attractions that draw visitors from around the world . Some climate experts predict that by 2050 , 80% of the country could become uninhabitable . Villas at Sun Siyam Iru Veli come with decking to relax on . The crisis prompted the country 's deputy Minister of Climate Change , Hassaan Mohamed , to recently warn : " Climate change impacts are the most severe things we face right now .

The Maldives ' high season runs from late November to April . This period offers the best weather and includes the Christmas and Easter holidays , which are very popular but are also the most expensive . Monsoon season is from May until November .

I departed from Dover , but cruises to many destinations leave from Rosyth , Newcastle and Liverpool . Boarding was easy and I was soon in my spacious cabin with its jacuzzi bath , loads of storage space and a huge , comfortable bed . Later we headed out across the Channel towards Guernsey , arriving there the next morning . This unique Anglo/French island is a self-governing British dependency which was under German occupation during WWII . Many old fortifications remain but the island is now a great tourist destination , easy to explore and with lots to offer . Next day we sailed north towards Ireland , giving me time to explore the ship . There was the usual theatre , spa , and a pool with a sliding roof for use in all weathers . In addition to the buffet and main dining rooms there were two speciality restaurants . Colours and Tastes served Oriental food whilst Vasco focused on Indian cuisine . Numerous delightful bars and lounges @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , read -- there is a good library -- and have a drink when on board . Skellig Michael monastery , which sits 520ft above sea level . Our route took us past Skellig Michael island and its sixth-century Christian monastery perched on a ledge some 160m ( 520ft ) above sea level . Monks chose this remote spot as they believed it was the furthest they could get from civilisation . That has n't changed very much . Killybegs , on the tip of Ireland 's north-west coast , was the country 's largest fishing port and famous for weaving fine carpets found in important buildings throughout the world . The mills have now closed and fishing is in decline . However , wind turbines are now an important part of the economy and their huge blades were stored on the dockside . I toured the stunning coastline , part of the Wild Atlantic Way , and was treated to an amazing demonstration of sheep-dog skills at Away To Me by ' FJ ' , a sheep-dog trainer , and one of his lovely dogs , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be seen to be believed and I spent a magical hour watching Lucy at work . The next morning found us in Stornoway on Lewis and Harris in the Outer Hebrides . They are spearheading a revival of Gaelic language and culture . Being led through the town by a piper was a new experience and we immersed ourselves in music and song at An Taigh C ? ilidh , a Gaelic community and cultural centre where ordering refreshments in Gaelic is rewarded with a 10% discount . They even have Gaelic Scrabble . Then it was on to Portree on the Isle of Skye , popular with visitors worldwide . The row of multi-coloured houses on the harbourside is probably one of its best-known landmarks and boats of all sizes were moored in the sheltered harbour . The tiny town centre is easily explored on foot and the local woollen shop , full of Harris Tweed jackets and bags , sweaters and a range of men 's kilts and ladies ' tartan skirts proved a popular place for a spot of retail therapy . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ On our way we passed the island of Staffa and the famous Fingal 's Cave . Its hexagonal columns of rocks were formed millions of years ago and legend has it that this was the other end of the Giant 's Causeway in Northern Ireland . It is probably best known through the music of Mendelssohn as part of his overture The Hebrides . The world famous Italian Chapel , Orkney . Our final call was Kirkwall . A combination of warm weather and the gulf stream , which ensures temperatures rarely drop below five degrees Celsius , meant shirt-sleeve weather . I visited the Churchill Barriers , constructed to keep the Royal Navy 's fleet safe in Scapa Flow , and the famous Italian chapel . During WWII , Italian prisoners of war were moved from north Africa to Orkney to build the barriers and were given a Nissen hut to use as a place of worship . A number of them were skilled craftsmen and using what little they had in raw materials they built the lovely chapel which has been carefully preserved and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Back on board we were ready to set sail for Dover when the sound of bagpipes came wafting across the quay . We were treated to favourites such as Scotland the Brave , Mull of Kintyre , Auld Lang Syne and my favourite , Highland Cathedral . A huge sign read ' Cheerio Borealis ' and everyone waved goodbye . We could n't have wished for a better end to our cruise . P.S. The name ' Kirkwall ' comes from Old Norse , ' Kirkjuvagar ' meaning ' church-bay ' and refers to a much older church than the present-day St Magnus Cathedral . Known as the ' Light in the North ' , the Cathedral with its red sandstone walls , was founded in 1137 by the Viking , Earl Rognvald , in honour of his uncle St Magnus .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'weasel out of paying up' does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'paying up' is a gerund phrase acting as the object of the preposition 'out of', similar to the examples in (7a) and (7b).

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('They are pricing normal people out of going to concerts'). It has a prevention interpretation, where 'they' (the causer) are preventing 'normal people' (the causee) from 'going to concerts' by means of pricing. The verb 'pricing' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically'. The NP object 'normal people' functions as a causee, and the sentence clearly fits the transitive out of -ing construction.

The chair of West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority said he had been subjected to a barrage of hate online and had been forced to increase security around his home and family amid threats . Greg Brackenridge spoke after an authority investigation led to the suspension of the service 's interim chief executive Oliver Lee , a decorated former Royal Marine colonel . Coun Brackenridge , a councillor and spouse of Wolverhampton North East MP Sureena Brackenridge , said those targeting him wanted to ' intimidate him ' out of continuing in his part-time role at the helm of the authority , which governs and oversees the operational fire service . He said the police were investigating some of the messages sent to him . He said : " In my years as a councillor and public servant , I 've never felt the fear for myself or my family that I have in the past week . I 've received numerous threatening messages through various channels , leading me to involve the police . These attacks are clearly intended to intimidate me and my loved @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now . " Coun Brackenbridge said he had asked the Ministry of Defence to investigate alleged illegal access of his personal military record as he faced questions about the legitimacy of his own Royal Marines service . He called the alleged leak a " clear breach " of strict GDPR and privacy rules . It 's the latest development in a troubling month of claims and counter-claims around the leadership of the fire service , which has seen interim CEO Mr Lee launch unprecedented public attacks on those running the Fire Authority . In the last month Mr Lee has used his LinkedIn profile to call out the authority as ' lacking in courage , transparency , care and honesty . ' In a subsequent interview with BirminghamLive he further criticised Coun Brackenridge and the fire authority 's monitoring officer Satinder Sahota by name , declaring he would ' never work with them again . ' Mr Lee is now the subject of a Section 5 legal report brought against him by Mr Sahota , and has been suspended from his role pending an investigation . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the 1,900 fire service staff , based on feedback he received during fire station visits . In the period since Mr Lee first spoke out , Coun Brackenridge 's military record has been the focus of online discussion , which he said had ramped up in the wake of Mr Lee 's suspension . Oliver Lee , left , and Cllr Greg Brackenridge , right , are at loggerheads over the future of West Midlands Fire Service In particular comparison has been drawn between Mr Lee 's distinguished military career and Coun Brackenridge 's service as a Royal Marines recruit . Coun Brackenridge has described himself as a former royal marine on public profile and election materials . He told BirminghamLive : " I joined the Royal Marines on leaving school and though I did not serve in battle or on the front line , I looked forward to a long military career . Unfortunately this was cut short for personal family reasons . " This was devastating , as I loved what I was doing , as any young lad would . I find @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and want to serve their country . I have served as a firefighter , now retired , and councillor to continue to serve my community . " Coun Brackenridge said he had never claimed to have served on the frontline or seen active service . He added : " What 's concerning is the apparent attempts to illegally access my service records with the MoD - a clear breach of GDPR . This is deeply troubling . " I am formally requesting the MoD investigates these matters , and I 'm in discussions with lawyers about the next steps . " He said he would not comment further or go into the ' deeply personal ' reasons for being honourably discharged from the service .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('intimidate him out of continuing in his part-time role'). It involves an animate NP subject ('those targeting him') and an NP object ('him') that functions as a causee, inducing a prevention interpretation (preventing him from continuing in his role). The verb 'intimidate' fits into the category of verbs that exert pressure or fear, aligning with the construction's properties.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'born out of' which is a different construction and does not involve a causer and causee relationship or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Stepping into the zone of fifth album Decimation Of I , Meemo Comma ( aka Lara Rix-Martin ) took as source material the toxic landscape and hostile environment of of Roadside Picnic , the Strugatsky brothers ' 1971 Soviet sci-fi that was itself the book on which Tarkovksy based his iconic film Stalker . It 's not the first time Rix-Martin 's music has been rooted in science fiction , but it is perhaps the furthest back that it 's delved into the canon . Neon Genesis : Soul Into Matter ? was inspired by the visuals of 90s anime epic Neon Genesis Evangelion other soundtracks such as Ghost In The Shell , bringing it together with Kabbalistic text and Jewish prayer . Here , Rix-Martin talks about what she 's learned about the origins of the modern science fiction canon , the importance of subtle soundtracks , and why she now spends every birthday with a seven-hour adaptation of Tolstoy 's War And Peace . The Blueprint : We " I first read We by Yevgeny Zamyatin when I was around 17 . Having already read Orwell 's 1984 at 16 , someone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We , the original inspiration . Written in the 1920s between various bouts of Zamyatin 's imprisonment , We was n't published until 1952 . The writing feels more authentic than Orwell , like it was drawn from lived experience . Saying We set the blueprint is an understatement , 1984 is almost a replica , right down to the style of the names and the way the male character objectifies the female character 's name . In my mind , 1984 is simply the Western version of We , essentially , a rip-off. 1984 is held as a pinnacle for the ideas held in these stories , so much so it has entered our vocabulary as shorthand for surveillance , yet the concept was n't even Orwell 's own . " Is Existentialism A Humanism ? " I have a deep love for classic sci-fi , writers of that era imagined the future in such brilliant , creative ways . The Bolshevik utopia was essentially a sci-fi utopia and ideas of both utopia and dystopia have long been prominent in Russia . When you mix this with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the perfect combination for creating outstanding sci-fi . Much of Russian sci-fi was born out of living in political and civil unrest , imagination often stretches further when you 're already living in dystopia , much like the sci-fi we encounter today . In the 1990s , for instance , we had Star Trek , boldly going where no man has gone before . New worlds and peoples were met with compassion and curiosity as if we have conquered our own ineptitudes back on Earth . The sci-fi we have now , reflects the mood of the people , dark with real time crisis . " During my 20s , I read a lot of existentialist philosophy , although I found the French existentialists could be overly verbose . Russian existentialism , however , is profoundly intense , sometimes uncomfortably so . It pushes you to question things more deeply and that 's precisely what existentialism should do . Personally , I 'm drawn to darker themes , as someone who has struggled with mental health , I liken existentialism to a scab you know you should n't pick @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's that constant tension , do n't touch the void , yet you feel compelled to . Soviet sci-fi stares directly into that void . " Dostoevsky Is Sci-Fi " Dostoevsky 's The Double is existentialist at its core , but I also consider it to be sci-fi . The story presents an altered reality : you meet your doppelg ? nger , someone who is exactly you ( in fact , better ) they begin to take over your life , forcing you to question everything . Russian sci-fi delves deep into themes of identity and one 's place in society , which is what makes these stories so timeless . Today , we talk a lot about identity , but Russian authors explored these questions long before , while acknowledging that they did n't have all the answers . You 're constantly waiting for resolution , but it never comes , leaving you profoundly unsettled . " Roadside Picnic Two Ways " I read Roadside Picnic a few years ago . The first part of the book feels almost like a documentary , with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chapters . While I appreciated the world building , it 's the unanswered questions that make the story feel so realistic . You 're thrust into this world and forced to accept it without explanation . In the book , Russia and the US are united as one country , but it 's never elaborated on . If this had been written in the UK or US , we would have packed it full of exposition . " The city in the story is built around " the zone " and people are suffering from the environment , getting sick , yet they stay because there 's nowhere else for them to go , no other jobs . The unspoken meaning of this resonates with me . It 's about being trapped , unable to escape , doing whatever it takes to survive . This is a profound truth about human existence : if you 're not part of the ruling class , then you 're just surviving . Roadside Picnic depicts this struggle , set in an alien environment . Some interpret the story as a commentary on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wastelands of capitalism , chasing a promised reward . They scavenge items from the zone and sell them . You can certainly read it on that level , but you can also appreciate it purely as an exercise in world-building . That 's what I love about these books -- you can choose to see the political subtext , or simply enjoy the escapism . But ultimately , understanding these worlds helps you grasp the deeper political implications . " The book was written during the Soviet regime , so much of its criticism had to be subtle , hidden between the lines . The Strugatsky brothers were communists , but they were dissatisfied with the way things were run . People often assume everyone in Russia hated communism , but many remained true to the ideology while disillusioned with its implementation . The regime stifled direct criticism , much like Zamyatin 's experience . Sci-fi provided a way to explore these ideas without making overt political statements . In Roadside Picnic , the characters change physically , but the real focus is on their mental state . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ adaptation of Roadside Picnic , Tarkovsky 's Stalker , had to be reshot after the original film was lost . Tragically , many involved in the production died due to the toxic environment near the chemical plant where it was filmed . Tarkovsky 's wife , Larisa , who was the assistant director , developed cancer , along with several others . In light of this , the film 's dystopian atmosphere feels even more poignant . The zone becomes a metaphor for a carcinogenic wasteland , perhaps a former nuclear site , a place that alters you not just physically , but at a cellular level . " One of my favourite characters in the film is the Stalker 's daughter , Monkey , who has a more significant role in the book . There 's a final scene in the film , where the viewer is intruding on Monkey , laying with her head on the table , no one else is there , then a glass is mysteriously pushed off the table . The film leaves you to interpret the meaning . In the book we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ born close to The Zone . Stalker is so meditative , inviting you to reflect and make sense of what 's happening . " " For me , the best soundtracks are the ones you barely notice . When a soundtrack draws too much attention to itself , it 's not doing its job . A great soundtrack blends seamlessly with the visuals and that 's what Edouard Artemiev achieved with Stalker . Much of it is experimental sound design , with long , quiet moments that amplify the film 's emotional impact . There 's a track called ' Meditation ' , which , by title I 've incorporated into my own album . It encapsulates the essence of taking time to absorb what 's unfolding on screen , to feel the raw emotion . " The soundtrack also features traditional music from Russia 's borders , such as the Azerbaijani tar and Armenian mugham , blurring the lines between music and natural sounds . I love that blending -- it represents humanity fading away , which is central to Stalker . " War And Peace @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my birthday , I watch all seven hours of the 1966 War and Peace adaptation . It 's essential for understanding Russia -- it 's not a monoculture . War and Peace offers insights into Russia as it transitions into the 19th century , shedding kings and queens and grappling with issues of class . But at its heart , it 's about how people live . It reflects the national mood and serves as a barometer for understanding Russia . " I love the 1966 films for its dreamy cinematography , although the use of live animals and ammunition during the battle scenes is grim . Despite that , the film remains groundbreaking -- everyone should watch it . MOSFILMS , the studio behind it , has all their films available on YouTube . This film laid the groundwork for Tarkovsky 's cinematic vision . " Meemo Comma 's new album Decimation Of I is released on 11 October via Planet Mu |

The sentence 'America's worst mayor Tiffany Henyard is booed out of meeting by furious residents - before launching legal war against them' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject (furious residents) + V1 (booed) + NP object (Tiffany Henyard) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (meeting). It also implies a movement/extraction interpretation where the residents caused Tiffany Henyard to leave the meeting by booing. The verb 'booed' can be classified under the means of exerting force or pressure, fitting one of the categories of verbs that appear in the V1 slot. The NP object (Tiffany Henyard) is a causee who participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate (meeting). Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

An unpopular Illinois , Dolton mayor was booed out of a town meeting then sued the other officials for hosting it without her . America 's so-called ' worst mayor ' Tiffany Henyard arrived at Monday 's village board meeting an hour late and was met with outraged residents , reported WGN .

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction with 'I' as the NP subject, 'counting' as V1, 'myself' as the NP object (a reflexive pronoun coreferential with the subject), and 'being an indie game developer' as the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also allows for a movement/extraction interpretation, where the subject causes themselves to move out of the state of being an indie game developer.

Editor 's note : 10th October every year is World Mental Health Day . This year , we 're marking it with a look at the wonderful Kind Words . Please be advised this piece contains discussion of sensitive topics such as self harm . " After Trump won the election in America , it was sort of horrifying , and I was in a stupor . I was just reflecting on how everybody could be so cruel , dismissive and insensitive ; of how everybody could just be not good to each other . " There was just so much of that , that it just pushed me into the direction of thinking ' I do n't believe the world is as bad as it seems ' , and we need to give people a chance to behave better . I bet they would . " I 'm speaking with Popcannibal developer Ziba Scott about Kind Words , and its successor Kind Words 2 . In September 2019 , Scott and fellow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but incredibly beautiful game about helping others by writing encouraging letters . The duo had no idea what type of reception or impact Kind Words could have , if any , and Scott admits he assumed any community would just " fizzle out " pretty quickly . But that did n't matter . Scott knew he needed to create something which would at least give people the opportunity to , quite simply , " be less mean to each other " - and it worked . A quick look at reviews for Kind Words shows the positive impact the game has had since its release five years ago . Comments such as " this game saved me " and " it restored my faith in mankind " are all there , while others are just grateful to have a safe space to share their feelings . Everyone at some point needs care and attention , Scott says , adding when the idea for Kind Words first came to him , he was going through a " complicated " period in his own life . Along with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had also just released a physics-based construction game called Make Sail . It did not go well . " It was the biggest thing we 'd ever done , and we 'd put it out , and it absolutely cratered , " Scott recalls . " There were problems with the game . Sales did n't go well , and so it was just ... it was a depressing time . I was thinking , ' maybe I should n't be making games , maybe I should do something else ' . I was counting myself out of being an indie game developer . " In the same week Kind Words released , Scott started working for a different company . Image credit : Popcannibal However , Kind Words quickly defied expectations and became a surprise hit for Popcannibal . Following its debut , the studio landed itself both a Game Awards and BAFTA nomination , before ultimately winning the Game Beyond Entertainment BAFTA in 2020 . These acknowledgements from the industry naturally raised Kind Words ' profile even further , and the growing popularity meant extra @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ parental duty to their players . " We did n't expect a big community to form around it ... but once we saw what sort of magnetism it had to pull people in , and how the complicated and vulnerable parts of themselves got pulled in , it became very clear very quick that we had a responsibility to be good stewards of these people , their feelings , and especially this data , " Scott says . Scott and the Kind Words team accepting their BAFTA during lockdown . Watch on YouTube Kind Words was a turning point for Popcannibal . The studio 's previous games had been relatively - in Scott 's own words - frivolous , and remained that way right up until Kind Words ' release . " I 've made a game called Block Pooper , and you just poop blocks . It 's like Smash Brothers but all you do is just poop blocks , right , " Scott laughs . " That 's the game we put out , like , a month before Kind Words , and it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Words , it felt like we had people who were counting on us to be the grown ups in the room , and to take care of this thing . " In the time since Kind Words was released , Scott and Guatieri have made " over 370,000 moderation decisions " between them , as part of their efforts to take care of the growing community . " We moderate every day , all day , " Scott says . " You know , before I got out of bed this morning , I pulled up the little phone web page that I have and made 30 decisions . " I tell Scott I ca n't even imagine doing something like that , especially not before at least one cup of very strong coffee , to which he laughs . " We have a lot of patterns , " he smiles . " You know , we 're certainly not perfect , but we 've structured the game to have a lot of tolerance for these decisions , so they are n't too disruptive . And that 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people to feel slapped down , or like they do n't belong there . " A lot of the moderation in Kind Words is " very gentle or quiet " to ensure the environment remains a calm and inclusive one . " I do have the ability to talk to players ... we do send messages directly to players as the deer Ella Kind Words ' postman in the game , " he says , noting these messages can also be things like helping players navigate the menu . He goes on to praise the community itself for ensuring Kind Words remains a safe space . " In-game user reporting is very important . It brings things to our attention , and when some players ' behaviour is brought to our attention enough , it automatically gets extra special attention . So , we do n't ban players . We started banning players originally , but it was too messy from a communication perspective to deal with and it caused a real storm among people . You ban someone from a game and they 're going to lash @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ helpful , " Scott says . " We do have certain players who have clear limits to their generosity , where they will be very kind and good to everybody , until say , an issue of sexual identity comes up , and then they may have some very conservative and unkind philosophies on that . And so , we make sure we remove some types of content from some people , but still let other stuff through . " Image credit : Popcannibal Since Kind Words ' debut , both Scott and Guatieri have read thousands upon thousands of messages from across the world , and as a result the developers have been exposed to some strong , and at times distressing , emotional states . " Players also , they get quite shocked when they see others talking about self harm , or people talking about killing themselves , which happens all the time in the game , " Scott says . " It 's been a little heartbreaking to see how many people really feel like they 're not allowed to talk about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other spaces . People will often type in ' I 'm worried I 'm going to unalive myself ' , because other platforms just literally wo n't let them type the word ' suicide ' . " And so you see all these people dancing around things because they 've been squeezed out of these other spaces where they 're not allowed to talk about mental health . " Scott himself spoke with friends who work in both psychiatry and other mental health services , to make sure Popcannibal was n't inadvertently making things worse by allowing these types of conversations to take place in Kind Words . He was pleased to find it was n't , and rather Kind Words was helping many of those who needed it . He also made sure there were links to various resources within the game , signposting players to professionals as required . Image credit : Popcannibal Popcannibal has just released Kind Words 2 , which expands upon the world players can visit but still retains that core premise of sending letters and , well , sharing kind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ original Kind Words wrapped up into it , now lets players venture out of their home , and into a bustling neighbourhood . Here , you can have conversations with other players , share recommendations and partake in a spot of poetry . And as the game has grown , so has Scott , who tells me he feels more comfortable in his own abilities now . " If you told me before Kind Words launched , like while I was finishing up making it , if you told me the number of people who would be playing it , I would have been paralysed , " Scott laughs . " I probably would have held this little Faberg ? egg too close . I would have squished it for fear of like : ' Oh no , people are actually going to look at it . I 'd better keep it here forever . ' " Thankfully though , Scott is confident in Popcannibal 's latest project . In addition , he has also started helping other developers who are creating their own games like Kind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which sharing emotions and listening to others is the main premise . " Embody a cute character , create your cosiest safe place and gather around the campfire to be a part of a collective story . We all need a good talk under the stars , " reads Campfire 's Steam page . " Campfire 's developers reached out because we 're in the same work , in the same zone and area , and they just wanted to talk about it , " Scott says . " And , you know , I 've talked to a few other developers who are also working in this type of area with these topics . " This is all a far cry from the man who once considered leaving indie game development because he had lost faith in his own capabilities . Image credit : Popcannibal Given his own journey , I ask Scott what advice he would now give to others who may need a boost . His message : " It 's surprisingly meaningful to say something simple and perhaps unoriginal to somebody @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Words at how common platitudes like ' you 'll be alright , I believe in you ' , or ' you 're going to get through this ' and ' someone out there loves you ' can really mean the world to someone . " I 've seen 10,000 variations of these phrases over and over , and I 've seen 10,000 replies to those messages saying : Thanks , that 's what I needed to hear right now . " Scott actually has a tablet he leaves on in his kitchen , which shows the positive affirmations that come through the game . " Initially , I put it up there as a monitor to make sure the server was n't down , but I became really attached to having this stream of strangers ' positive affirmations flowing through my kitchen , even though they do n't know me and were clearly not directed to what 's going on in my life right now , " he says . " I guess the point I 'm making is , expose yourself to the nice things that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just say something simple and nice as well , " Scott closes with a smile . " Even the smallest of gestures can really help lift somebody up . " If you need someone to talk to , the Samaritans are there to help .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not exhibit either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'out of keeping' as a phrase to describe the flats' lack of conformity with the surrounding housing, which is unrelated to the transitive out of -ing construction.

A move to demolish a garage and ' shoehorn ' in new flats has been rejected for a second time by planners . Sandwell Council blocked a move by Manminder Singh to demolish a side garage in Brookfields Road , Oldbury , and build three new flats saying the new building was too big . The decision was referred to the government 's planning inspectors who refused the appeal and agreed with Sandwell Council saying it would be out of character for the street . The move , which included a new two-storey home containing one one-bed and two two-bed flats , was rejected in March by Sandwell Council with the authority 's planning officers calling the move a " classic overdeveloped proposal . " The government planning inspector agreed with the council saying : " The design and layout of the appeal scheme would result in a visibly cramped and incongruous form of development , at odds with the prevailing character and appearance of the area . " Sandwell planners also said the application was " at odds " with what was already there and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rejected the application earlier this year . " They have shoehorned a building on a plot in which it was not designed for , " a planning report outlining the decision said . " New development must complement the existing context and generally aim to ' fit in ' and not ' stand out ' unless clear justification can be demonstrated . " There appears to be no regard to this in this proposal other than plot maximisation and gain . The character of the existing plot structure and existing street scene will be eroded significantly . " Other planning officers said : " The proposal in my view is a cramped form of development ; shoe-horned into small area that provides parking for the existing property . " Brookfields Road is characterised by mainly semi-detached family housing and flats in this location are considered to be out of keeping .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'Labour itself' is the NP subject, 'ruled' is V1, 'itself' is the NP object, and 'taking on the positions' is the VP2[-ing] predicate.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'out of training' as a prepositional phrase modifying 'not spending time with the squad', which does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction.

Eddie Howe and Jason Tindall have spoken about the " boundaries " between themselves and the Newcastle United squad - admitting they could never socialise with the players . Back in the day of the Entertainers , and the famous nights out on the Quayside , under Kevin Keegan , the boss would never join the stars for a meal or a drink in the city centre . Notably , in Lee Clark 's book - Black or White - No Grey Areas - the popular former midfielder spoke in-depth about Keegan 's willingness to let players come in his office for a soft drink and a bar of chocolate as he prudently assessed the mood of his squad and let them talk freely . And Howe , along with his assistant Tindall , has opened up on the unique relationship with their star players as they stay out of What 's App groups and do n't accompany the players for social events . Howe told the Adopted Geordies podcast in a 1:1 sit down : " I 'd ride on the bus with them , I have no issue with that . I like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on a social level absolutely not . " Tindall weighed in with his view on the situation insisting that despite not spending time with the squad out of training they must always show they are there for the players . Tindall said : " There has to be a boundary of course as a manager you have to make tough decisions . So I totally get from the manager 's perspective that you ca n't cross that line at any point . " But you are always there for the players . They are under pressure in so many different ways , being players ourselves , not at this level , you have an understanding about the person and the player , what they are going through . " Because ultimately they always get judged on a match day and what they deliver . Nobody really knows what is going on in their lives away from football . Certain issues in the week , sometimes a player might be struggling during the week then they get judged . You have to be close to it . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ put an arm around them . You have to sit with them on a different sort of level to a coach or manager . Because you have to understand what is going on . " Howe also said he would try to refrain from talking about his own playing career as the modern stars do n't want to hear it . He said : " With the players you ca n't end up talking about yourself . That is the one thing they do n't want to hear . You do n't want them saying : ' Ugh he 's going on about his playing career again ' . Who did he play for ?

✔️ | [link] | ⭕ |
Reasoning
×
The sentence fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('her kindness') + V1 ('snapping') + NP object ('him') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('harming himself in the moment'). It also gives rise to a prevention interpretation, where the kindness of the lady prevented him from harming himself. The verb 'snapping' can be classified under the means of arousing fear, irritation, anger, annoyance, confusion, or surprise, which is one of the categories of verbs that can appear in the V1 slot of the construction. The NP object 'him' functions as a causee, and the NP subject 'her kindness' is an inanimate force/event, which is semantically acceptable for the construction.

Network Rail has announced a new milestone with its Rail Suicide Prevention Programme as more than 1,500 interventions have been made across the Eastern region . Over the last year alone ( 2023-24 ) , 447 interventions were made on the rail network in the Eastern region through the support of the partnership which has been delivered through Network Rail , Samaritans and British Transport Police . Nationally , over 27,000 interventions have been made across Britain 's rail network . The group has announced the milestone to mark World Mental Health Day . The partnership aims to provide specialist training for rail staff , and partners to raise public awareness about suicide prevention , the signs to look out for to see if someone needs help , and teaches them the best ways to approach vulnerable people and these can range from simply talking to them or calling for further professional assistance . Louise McNally , Network Rail 's suicide prevention lead , said : " It 's a great achievement to see that over 27,000 potentially life-saving interventions have been made to help support and identify vulnerable people across the rail network @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Rail Suicide Prevention Programme helps us , as an entire industry , respond as effectively as we can to the many people that are presenting on the railway either in distress , in crisis , or struggling to cope . It also provides invaluable support to those members of the workforce who find themselves involved in some difficult incidents . " Network Rail continues to work closely with the Samaritans to train thousands of frontline railway staff with the skills to identify vulnerable individuals and confidently intervene . Dave Brown , Samaritans senior programme manager for rail , commented : " Our partnership with Network Rail has been running for over 14 years and the impact it has had on saving lives has been huge . By equipping rail staff with the knowledge and confidence to help vulnerable people in distress , we ensure lives are saved each year .

Network Rail 's Dom Mottram , knows the importance of looking out for others after he experienced suicidal thoughts aged 19 and was considering taking his life when a lady approached him and asked him a question -- her kindness " snapping him out of harming himself in the moment " . Dom has since gone on to do the ' Managing Suicidal Contacts ' course with Samaritans and has helped others in a similar situation , both in and out of the rail environment . Dom said : " I 'm thankful for the ripple effect of that lady saving my life -- without her stopping and checking if I was okay , I might not be here to now look out for and save others . " With the support of family and friends I 've come a long way since my 19-year-old self and applying my training with Samaritans to potentially life-saving scenarios has been incredibly rewarding .

761 business properties are not being used in Middlesbrough , and 426 of them do n't have any rates payable on them . This was the report of Janette Savage , head of resident and business and support at Middlesbrough Council , who was presenting to the place scrutiny committee on Monday , October 7 . Councillors heard that nearly one in six non-domestic properties lie empty within the council 's boundaries , which equates to 761 properties in total out of the total 4,638 business properties . She highlighted the concern with big buildings such as Vancouver House , which currently lies " empty " , yet , in its heyday it was flourishing . Ms Savage said that generally " with big buildings , if they 're not secured , or if they 're left empty for a period of time , we can end up with situations where you 've got squatters or they 're being used for anti-social behaviour " . The Valuation Office Agency is in charge of determining what the rateable value of a building is . Ms Savage explained : " If an organisation decides to take things @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leaving it in a state of disrepair , they can then apply to the valuation office and have the property taken out of rating and there 's not a great deal the local authority can do to stop that from happening . " If no rates are payable , there is little incentive for the landlord to do anything with the building . Ms Savage added that Middlesbrough Council are trying to put more pressure on the Valuation Office Agency . 426 properties are currently in the ' out of rating ' status , prompting Ms Savage to comment : " That 's not ideal to be fair " . Labour councillor David Branson , who chairs the committee thought it was worse than simply not ideal . He said he was " shocked " to find how many of the properties had been " de-rated " . He continued : " No wonder you have businesses that say ' we do n't need to take any notice of the local council ' ... We do know that a lot of towns have this problem , with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by and large stay empty for year after year after year and the impact on how the town looks is really quite awful . " Cllr Branson 's solution was to ensure the council had the power to take over a de-rated property " without having to pay compulsory purchase order money . " Ms Savage responded : " I think that would probably worry me and make me nervous a little bit , because the local authority will then become responsible for the rates , in the sense that we have to set the example and we have an obligation to ensure that those properties were safe and there 's an investment in that as well . " Labour councillor Lewis Young asked about the balance when it comes to commercial properties and ensuring landlords do what they are supposed to . Richard Horniman , director of regeneration , highlighted when discussing domestic properties , there is " certainly more stick " , yet there is more " carrot " available to commercial properties . He said that compulsory purchase exists and that " if we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ then there would be a masterplan , with the funding to execute compulsory purchasing . But the current reality is quite different : " If you own one of these large properties , we will threaten you with compulsory purchase but you know it 's going to take years ... so that bit of the stick is n't there , in Newcastle or Leeds it is and we 've got to be honest about that .

An award-winning shop in Minehead is moving to new premises due both to its huge success and the threat of flooding . Our Precious Earth , which sells eco-friendly alternatives to common items , is reopening in a larger shop on Wellington Square on Friday , October 11 . The move is bittersweet , driven both by high footfall meaning they need bigger premises and the threat of floods making its current Holloway Street location increasingly stressful . Owner Keith said : " It was just a small shop I had to start with . " I just wanted to see if the concept works or not , and it was so well received . It was the sort of shop where you had more than five people in at a time . " Addressing the less positive aspect of the move , he continued : " There was the flooding I had last year- which was always a worry . We had so much rain this year , every time we would get a huge storm or heavy rain over a weekend or an evening , I had to lift up stock to ensure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the shop 's new premises has no history of flooding . Keith is hoping that the new shop can double up as a community hub where local environmentalists can host meetings in the back room . He is also planning to introduce sustainability workshops at a later date . And despite the challenges , the business has achieved national recognition . Keith 's business has been so successful he 's spoken in the House of Lords about it . In 2023 , Our Precious Earth made the top 100 small businesses in the country as judged by Small Business Britain . Next month , he 's swapping the beautiful seaside resort of Minehead for the bright lights of London to attend the British Independent Retailers Associations Conference . Keith feels the business is a great tool for promoting eco-conscious behaviour : " It 's not just about the selling , it 's about the education as well . I 've got some duvets and pillows made out of filling made out of recycled plastic bottles . " They shred it all down and make it into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It 's poignant that a business that believes so strongly in caring for the planet has been so impacted by the threat of climate change and increased flooding the crisis causes . But Keith keeps looking forward : the new Wellington Square shop opens at 9am this Friday .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'time taken out of training' which does not involve a causee or a VP2[-ing] predicate with a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'time taken out of training' is more about the allocation of time rather than causing someone to move out of or preventing an action.

Imbibitor Lunae is a 5-Star Imaginary character of The Destruction path who was added to Honkai : Star Rail during version 1.3 . While Imbibitor Lunae is featured as the boosted 5-Star character on his Epochal Spectrum Banner in version 2.6 , he will eventually return to Honkai : Star Rail at some point in the future when the Banner schedule cycles back to him . Whether you have him , or want to prepare for him , it 's good to know the best Imbibitor Lunae build , including his best Relics and best team . It 's also handy to learn what his Eidolons are , and what Ascension materials and Trace materials are needed to level up Imbibitor Lunae to his full potential . Imbibitor Lunae is a 5-Star Imaginary character of The Destruction path who is be best at providing a huge amount of damage in both single and multi-target scenarios , but consumes a lot of Skill Points in doing so . Skill : Dracore Libre ( Enhances Imbibitor Lunae 's basic attack . Enhancements may be applied up to three times @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Points and is not considered as using a Skill - but your Skill Points are consumed when you unleash an enhanced basic attack . When unleashing Divine Spear or Fulgurant Leap , one stack of Dominating Roar is gained before every hit , starting from the fourth hit . Each stack of Dominating Roar increases Imbibitor Lunae 's Crit Damage by 6% , with a maximum of four stacks . These stacks last until the end of his turn ) . Ultimate : Azure 's Aqua Ablutes All ( Unleashes a 3-hit attack to deal Imaginary damage equal to 180% of Imbibitor Lunae 's attack stat to a single enemy and Imaginary damage equal to 84% of his attack to adjacent targets , and he obtains two Squama Sacrosancta . A maximum of three Squama Sacrosancta can be possessed at any given time . Imbibitor Lunae may consume an equivalent number of Squama Sacrosancta instead of Skill Points . Consuming Squama Sacrosancta is considered equivalent to consuming Skill Points ) . Talent ( passive ability ) : Righteous Heart ( Imbibitor Lunae gains one stack of Righteous Heart @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ increases his damage by 5% , up to six stacks . These stacks last until the end of his turn ) . Technique ( overworld ability ) : Heaven-Quelling Prismadrakon ( Imbibitor Lunae enters the Leaping Dragon state for 20 seconds , causing him to move forward rapidly for a set distance , attacking all enemies he touches and blocking all incoming attacks . After entering combat via attacking enemies in the Leaping Dragon state , Imbibitor Lunae deals Imaginary damage equal to 120% of his attack stat to all enemies , and gains one Squama Sacrosancta ) . Just like Ascension , to get the most out of using Imbibitor Lunae you will have to level-up his attacks and passive abilities by using Trace materials , which vary from character-to-character . For Imbibitor Lunae , you need to use a lot of Blade and Immortal Scionette-based materials to fully upgrade his capabilities . In total , to upgrade all of his abilities , the Imbibitor Lunae Trace Materials you need are : x8 Tracks of Destiny @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ x41 Immortal Scionette x56 Immortal Aeroblossom x58 Immortal Lumintwig x69 Lifeless Blade x139 Worldbreaker Blade 3 million Credits By getting duplicates of Imbibitor Lunae from Warping on Banners , you will receive his Eidolon . This material allows you to unlock Eidolon levels , with each upgrade either improving an existing attack or passive ability . Image credit : HoYoverse Here are all of Imbibitor Lunae 's Eidolons in Honkai : Star Rail : Tethered to Sky ( E1 ) : Increases the number of stackable Righteous Heart stacks by four , and one extra stack of Righteous Heart will be gained for each hit per attack . Imperium On Cloud Nine ( E2 ) : After using his Ultimate , Imbibitor Lunae 's action is Advanced Forward by 100% and he gains one extra Squama Sacrosancta . Clothed in Clouds ( E3 ) : Increases the level of Imbibitor Lunae 's Skill by two , with a maximum upgrade Level of 15 , and increases his Basic attack by one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's Bliss ( E4 ) : Buffs provided by Outroar last until the end of Imbibitor Lunae 's next turn . Fall is the Pride ( E5 ) : Increases the level of Imbibitor Lunae 's Ultimate and Talent by two with a maximum upgrade level of 15 for both . Reign , Returned ( E6 ) : After any other ally uses their Ultimate , the Imaginary Resistence Penetration of Imbibitor Lunae 's next Fulgurant Leap attack increases by 20% , up to three stacks . At first Imbibitor Lunae 's kit might seem a little confusing , but there are two important notes that can help you understand his playstyle better : Imbibitor Lunae only consumes Skill Points when you use an enhanced basic attack . So Imbibitor Lunae can be a very Skill Point hungry DPS to have on your team , but if you use his Ultimate as often as possible to build Squama Sacrosancta to use instead , then he becomes more manageable . Even if you do end up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ worth it , as Imbibitor Lunae deals a huge amount of Imaginary damage to multiple enemies when his third enhanced basic attack , Fulgurant Leap , is used . Image credit : HoYoverse With all this in mind , your goal with Imbibitor Lunae is to activate and use the Fulgurant Leap enhanced basic as often as possible . This means using his Ultimate to gain Squama Sacrosancta when you can , and possibly equipping him with some Energy Recharge Relics , Planar Ornaments , or pairing with a teammate who can restore Energy ( hi , Tingyun ) . Someone like Hanya , or Sparkle can also help alleviate his Skill Point needs . Just be careful with who else you put in an Imbibitor Lunae team , as other Skill hungry characters could hurt your DPS potential a lot . Imbibitor Lunae is a very powerful character all on his own , but you can enhance his damage capabilities even further by pairing him with the right team . Luocha can help you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ teams need a healer , Luocha is the best to pair with Imbibitor Lunae , as he can normal attack most of the time to heal the team and help build Skill Points for Imbibtor Lunae . Other healerd work very well - but Luocha is the ideal choice if you have him . To cause even more damage with Imbibitor Lunae 's attacks you 'll also want to have at least one Harmony or Nihility character on your team . For Harmony , Yukong can help almost guarantee Crit Hits with her abilities , but you might want to swap her out for Tingyun instead to take advantage of Tingyun 's Ultimate , which restores Energy to a character . Sparkle and Hanya can also help Imbibitor Lunae with his Skill Point requirements . As for Nihility , to help implant an Imaginary weakness while lowering enemies ' defence , you can put Silver Wolf in your team . This involves a bit of luck , but if most of your team are Imaginary attackers it 's easier to implant a weakness . Pela is a fantastic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enemies ' defences . Welt can also help increase Imbibtor Lunae 's Crit Damage when he imprisons enemies if Imbibitor Lunae is using the 4-piece Wastelander of Banditry Desert Relic set . Lastly , you can replace a character with a shielder if you need survivability over damage potential - Gepard and Fu Xuan are the best picks for this , but the Fire Trailblazer and March 7th can help as well , at the cost of some Skill Points . We recommend the 2-piece Wastelander of Banditry Desert with the 2-piece Musketeer of Wild Wheat as the best Relics for Imbibitor Lunae . This increases both Imaginary damage and attack , which Imbibitor Lunae scales off of . Rutilant Arena Planar Ornament set . Image credit : HoYoverse You can also use the 4-piece Wastelander of Banditry Desert if you have a team member who is debuffing enemies , as it will add 10% Crit Rate . You also get an extra 20% Crit Damage with this 4-piece if the enemies are also Imprisoned . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ depending on the focus of your Imbibitor Lunae build , but generally , we recommend Rutilant Arena as the best Planar Ornaments for Imbibitor Lunae . This increases Crit Rate by 8% and basic and skill damage by 20% when Imbibitor Lunae has a Crit Rate of over 70% . If you need more Energy Regeneration instead , the Sprightly Vonwacq set can substitute . However , we do n't recommend building Imbibitor Lunae for speed to take advantage of this set 's action advance abilities - as you probably wo n't have enough Skill Points to make use of these extra turns . As it 's his signature , the 5-Star Brighter Than the Sun Light Cone is Imbibitor Lunae 's best Light Cone in Honaki : Star Rail . At Level 80 and Superimposition 1 , Brighter Than the Sun increases Imbibitor Lunae 's Crit Rate by 18% , and when he uses a basic attack , he gains one stack of Dragon 's Call for two turns . Each stack of Dragon 's Call @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rate by 6% . Dragon 's Call can be stacked up to two times . Image credit : HoYoverse For other 5-Star options , equipping On the Fall of an Aeon will increase Imbibitor Lunae 's attack and damage when he inflicts Weakness Break , and Something Irreplaceable will also increase attack , and heals and increases his damage when he 's attacked . As for 4-Star free-to-play options , Under the Blue Sky is the best pick for its increase to attack and Crit Rate . Nowhere to Run is also a decent pick , as it increases attack while healing Imbibitor Lunae , and The Moles Welcome You can be equipped to increase attack with Mischievous stacks . Keeping in mind that the best team comps in Star Rail are very situational , if you want to take advantage of his huge damage potential while keeping him alive , we have compiled what we think is currently the best Imbibitor Lunae build in Honkai Star Rail : Tingyun can fill in for Yukong if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rate and Crit Damage . Image credit : HoYoverse It 's entirely up to you whether you want to spend your Stellar Jade to Warp on Imbibitor Lunae 's Banner , but he 's one of the best DPS picks in the game if you do n't mind working around Skill Point management . Good luck levelling up Imbibitor Lunae in Honkai : Star Rail ! Jessica Orr : Jessica is a guides writer from Northern Ireland who likes screaming at her TV . Often at horror movies , occasionally at a Fortnite win . When not damaging her vocal cords , Jessica likes stressing over her inventory in RPGs , and getting lost in open worlds . |

Ororon is a 4-Star Electro character who is likely being added to Genshin Impact during version 5.2 . While Ororon should be featured as a boosted 4-Star character on on either Chasca 's Banner or a rerun Banner in version 5.2 , he will eventually be added to the standard Banner in Genshin Impact after 5.2 , and also occasionally feature on future Banners as one of the boosted 4-Stars again . If you want to prepare for him , we 've listed reliable leaks of Ororon 's Ascension materials and Talent materials so you can level him up to his full potential right away . To understand how you might play him , we 've also detailed what we know about Ororon 's kit and Constellations . Keep in mind that this is leaked beta information , so Ororon 's materials and kit might change upon his official release . Ororon is a 4-Star Electro character who uses a bow , and keeping in mind that this is leaked beta information from honeyhunterworld that could change upon Ororon 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ below are based on Level 1 Skills , here 's a summary of Ororon 's kit in Genshin Impact : Element : Electro . Rarity : 4-Star . Weapon : Bow . Normal Attack : Name TBC . Elemental Skill : Name TBC . Elemental Burst : Name TBC . Image credit : HoYoverse Passive one : When party members trigger a Nightsoul Burst , Ororon will recover 40 Nightsoul points , and for 15 seconds after using a Skill , Ororon will recover 5 Nightsoul points after characters other than himself hit opponents with Hydro or Electro Damage . This can only be triggered up to 10 times during its duration , and Ororon can recover Nightsoul points this way once every 0.3 seconds . Nightsoul points can be consumed after nearby opponents are attacked by Electro-Charged or by Nightsoul-aligned attacks ( from characters other than Ororon ) . If Ororon has 10 or more Nightsoul points , he will enter the Nightsoul 's Blessing state for six seconds and trigger the ' Electric Induction ' effect , which deals Electro @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ four nearby opponents and consumes 10 Nightsoul points . This effect can be triggered once every 1.8 seconds . Passive two : For 15 seconds after Ororon 's Elemental Skill hits , the active party member restores three Elemental Energy after attacking with Hydro or Electro Damage . If Ororon is off-field at the time , he will restore three Elemental Energy as well . This can be triggered once every second , and can be triggered up to three times during its duration . Exploration bonus : While in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan , Ororon can use Nightsoul Transmission : Ororon . When the active character is currently sprinting , in a movement mode caused by certain Talents , or at a certain height in the air , the following will trigger when switching to Ororon , he will leap up high . Nightsoul Transmission can be triggered once every 10 seconds . Ororon performs up to three rapid consecutive shots with his bow , if tapping the normal attack button . Holding it down instead makes Ororon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ While aiming , crackling lightning will accumulate on the arrowhead . An arrow fully charged with the storm 's might will deal Electro Damage . Ororon 's charged attack is also capable of scanning runes and graffiti in Natlan , creating different effects based on what was scanned . As with most bow plunging attacks , Ororon fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground , dealing AOE ( Area of Effect ) damage upon impact . Image credit : HoYoverse Orororn tosses a ' Graffiti Bomb ' that will ricochet between nearby opponents , attacking them with Electro Damage . This stops attacking after three times , or when there are no more opponents nearby to attack . The Graffiti Bomb can bounce off each opponent a maximum of once . Special Jump If Ororon is in Natlan , holding the Skill button consumes Phlogiston to execute a Rocket Double Jump . When Phlogiston is completely depleted , it will consume Stamina to execute the Double Jump instead . To get the most out of using Ororon , you will have to level his skills up by using Talent materials , which vary from character-to-character . With the latest beta information sourced from honeyhunterworld , for Ororon , it looks like you 'll need to farm a lot of Fang and Kindling materials ( if you do n't already have them ) to fully upgrade his capabilities . As Ororon has three Talents , you will have to spend three times the Talent materials listed below to fully upgrade all of his abilities , which we 've also detailed below the table . Here 's what Ororon Talent materials you need to improve one of his abilities : Glowing Mushroom . Image credit : HoYoverse Just like Talents , you need to use Ororon Ascension materials to upgrade his health , attack , defence , and critical hit effectiveness . Based off the same honeyhunterworld beta leaks , it looks like you 'll need to farm a lot of Glowing Mushroom and Fang materials for Ororon ( if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his capabilities . Unlike Talent materials , you only need to spend the below Ascension materials once to fully raise Ororon to his highest character level . There is also Acquaint Fate rewarded for reaching certain Ascension levels . You can spend this Fate on the standard and beginner Banners to Wish for characters and weapons . Here 's what Ororon Ascension materials and Mora you need to upgrade him for each Ascension level : In total , here 's all the Ascension Materials you need for Ororon in Genshin Impact : x1 Vajrada Amethyst Sliver x6 Vajrada Amethyst Gemstone x9 Vajrada Amethyst Fragment x9 Vajrada Amethyst Chunk x18 Juvenile Fang x30 Seasoned Fang x36 Tyrant 's Fang x46 Mark of the Binding Blessing x168 Glowing Mushroom 420,000 Mora Once again , this is leaked beta information , so Ororon 's materials could change upon his official release . By getting duplicates of Ororon from wishing on Banners that include him , you will receive his Stella Fortuna . This material allows @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ improving an existing Talent or Passive ability . Image credit : HoYoverse With thanks to honeyhunterworld again for sourcing this leaked beta information , here are all of Ororon 's Constellations in Genshin Impact : Name TBC ( C1 ) : Graffiti Bomb can attack two more times , and opponents take 60% more damage from ' Electric Induction ' for 12 seconds . Name TBC ( C2 ) : When Ororon 's Elemental Burst hits one/two/three/four or more opponents , his own Electro Damage dealt increases by 24%/36%/48%/60% for nine seconds . Name TBC ( C3 ) : Increases the Level of Ororon 's Elemental Burst by three , with a maximum upgrade level of 15 . Name TBC ( C4 ) : The rotation speed of the soundwaves during Ororon 's Elemental Burst increases by 25% . Name TBC ( C5 ) : Increases the Level of Ororon 's Elemental Skill by three , with a maximum upgrade level of 15 .

It requires paper filters and you 'll be able to enjoy about four decent size mugs from a full carafe . All this style and hand-built design comes at a price @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reach for some people , we think it 's a worthy investment . + Coffee stays hot for hours + Simple to operate + Can take ground coffee or whole beans - 10 cup capacity is equivalent to five mugs - No bean hopper With its affordable price tag , you 'd be forgiven for assuming this Cuisinart coffee maker will only offer the bare minimum - but you 'd be wrong . It features an integrated bean grinder that will grind up whole coffee beans and deliver them into the filter so that your drink is made with the freshest possible coffee . The only slight oversight here is that without a bean hopper , you have to fill it with beans every time . And if you have a decaf coffee drinker in the house , it 's not a problem , simply add ground coffee instead and press the ' grind off ' button . There are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so you can set it up the night before and your first wake-up brew will be ready and waiting for you when you walk into the kitchen in the morning . Its sturdy stainless steel exterior wo n't win any awards for style , but it 's by no means ugly . You might be surprised that it does n't have a hotplate and relies on the insulated carafe to keep coffee hot . But do n't worry , it does an impressively good job - only dropping by 19F/ 11C when left for two hours . Plus your coffee wo n't stew like it can on a hotplate . We enjoyed fresh , well-rounded coffee from this affordable drip coffee maker , and we can assure you that even if your budget is tight , you wo n't have to compromise on the quality of your cup of Joe . + Accurate programmable timer + Keeps coffee hot for 40 minutes + Makes multiple cups at once - Interface @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lot of space Smeg is one of the go-to brands for retro-style appliances and this coffee maker does n't disappoint . Its bulbous , curvy shape has a playful feel and the choice of colors means you can choose the one that best coordinates with the rest of your kitchen . The downside of its shape is that it takes up more counter space than some others . It 's not a coffee maker that takes itself too seriously , yet it still works efficiently to deliver a tasty carafe of coffee . The settings are simple so our tester got to grips with it quickly . You can adjust the aroma intensity or select a four-cup brew when a full carafe will be too much . And the only other feature of note is the timer for automatic brewing , which is a must if your mornings are hectic . The reusable filter does away with the need for wasteful paper filters , which is a plus . The warming plate only keeps coffee warm for 40 minutes so you 're best off brewing the correct @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coffee 2 hours later like with some coffee makers on this list . The price is a tad high given its features , we suspect you 're paying for the brand name and the way it looks on your counter . Can ( somewhat ) automate the process , so coffee is made for when you wake - Pre-ground funnel a bit small - Maintenance can get a little messy This De'Longhi coffee maker is somewhat of a departure from the other drip coffee makers on this list since it does n't come with a carafe . It 's designed to dispense single portions but with multiple cup sizes to choose from between 3oz and 24oz , there 's something to keep everyone happy . It has earned its position of best premium drip coffee maker in part because it is an expensive , premium appliance , but also thanks to the range of customizable settings it offers . So if you 're the kind of coffee drinker who wants to get specific about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this model . It even offers an ' over ice ' option if that 's your coffee of choice . What 's more , this machine hits the sweet spot between offering plenty of settings whilst also remaining straightforward to use . And its integrated bean grinder means you can enjoy tasty fresh coffee , without having to invest in a separate grinding appliance . Plus , you can load in pre-ground coffee if you need a caffeine-free option . Our tester enjoyed smooth tasting coffee when using this machine and while he did find the maintenance and cleaning a bit more laborious than he would have liked , it was n't enough to put him off . It 's a great addition to your morning routine - if your budget can stretch to it . - Specialty espresso-like brew lacks most espresso attributes - Nowhere to store bulky K-cup adapter when not in use We 've come to expect multi-purpose , multi-functional appliances from Ninja and this coffee maker is no exception . It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In addition to brewing drip coffee to fill the 12-cup carafe , the brew sizes range from 4oz to 55oz . So you can skip the carafe and dispense the correct volume of coffee directly into your to-go cup just before you leave the house . An integrated milk frother gives you the option to make barista-style coffees such as cappuccino and latte . It takes pre-ground coffee , there 's no integrated grinder so you ca n't add whole beans but instead , it can produce single-serve coffees using K-cup pods , which will please those looking for the ultimate convenience . It 'll even deliver hot water for your herbal teas . Its effective warming plate can keep a carafe of coffee warm for an impressive four hours . Or , if you 're a cold coffee fan , you can make use of the ' over ice ' setting . Our tester enjoyed the cool rich coffee produced when she used this setting . In busy households where everyone likes a different style of coffee , this machine will be invaluable . But our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or strength , plus it lacked crema . So this is n't a machine for espresso drinkers . On the whole , given the amount of different options on offer , it 's an easy-to-use coffee maker that delivers flavorful coffee . It 's not the cheapest coffee maker you can buy but we think it 's great value considering all that it offers . + Operates quietly + Pause and pour setting - Takes up a lot of space - Works slowly It 's not quite as retro-looking as the Smeg coffee maker above , but this KitchenAid model still has a kitsch retro vibe . And if your counters are already full of KitchenAid appliances , it 'll be right at home . Its warming plate can be set to one of two temperature options , and since we rarely see machines with the ability to adjust the warming plate temperature , it 's worth a special mention . The downside is that it only stays on for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you can strike filter papers from your shopping list . Plus , on the filter you 'll find handy coffee markers , to take the thinking out of adding the correct level of coffee grounds for your brew . We like the ability to adjust the brew strength , as well as the timer function so coffee can be ready and waiting for you when you get out of bed . Our tester enjoyed the deliciously smooth coffee and noted the convenience of the ' pause and pour ' feature that allows you to pour out a mug of coffee before brewing has finished . If you 're considering this machine , make sure to measure up your space , because our tester struggled to fit it under wall-mounted cabinets , and you 'll need extra clearance above it to access the filter via the flip-up lid . This machine does have a removable water tank - a useful feature that is often missing from drip coffee makers - and makes filling up easier . All-in-all a decent coffee maker at a fair price . To get the coffee machine that 's right for you , you 'll need to figure out your main priorities . For example , if budget is driving your decision then you probably wo n't get the one with the sleekest design and the fanciest features . If there are several coffee drinkers in your household you 'll need a coffee machine with a large capacity , to make sure everyone gets that much-needed morning wake-up brew . Think about whether you want a very simple control panel that you can operate with your eyes closed . Or , do you like lots of controls that will allow you to personalize temperature , strength , and the volume of coffee poured ? If you 're hoping to leave a pitcher of coffee on the hotplate , it 's worth checking how long the hotplate stays hot . Not all hotplates will stay on for hours , and while some can be switched back on , others ca n't . Also , consider whether you want to add whole coffee beans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Or maybe you have a separate grinder so you do n't need this function . And if you like to wake up to freshly brewed coffee , you need one with a timer that you can set up before you go to bed . Looks are important if you 're planning to leave it on your kitchen counter , so consider if you want a jazzy color or a modern stainless steel finish . Lastly , have a measure up and make sure you do n't buy a coffee maker that 's too bulky for the space you have available . Firstly the answer will somewhat depend on the drip coffee maker you choose . If yours has an integrated grinder then you 'll need to buy whole coffee beans . But if it requires ground coffee , then getting the correct grind size is vital . Too fine and it 'll potentially clog the coffee maker , too coarse and you risk a watery brew . Usually , store-bought coffee clearly indicates what machines @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ own beans , you may have to play around with grind size for the most optimum results . As a general rule , the tastiest cup of coffee will come from beans that are freshly roasted . And you 'll notice a difference if you buy your coffee from a local artisan coffee roaster , as opposed to the coffee that 's been sitting in a vacuum-sealed bag at the store for 6 months . Once open , store coffee in an airtight container and use it quickly . Coffee quality does deteriorate over time , so for the tastiest and most nuanced flavor and aroma , buy little and often and do n't keep it hanging around for months . Any appliance that gets warm and uses moisture is in danger of harboring nasty bacteria and even mold - if not cleaned frequently and thoroughly . Our best advice is to keep hold of the manual , all coffee makers are different and ideally , you 'll want to follow the manufacturer 's guidelines for best @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , whereas others require washing by hand . Likewise , some have automatic cleaning programs , so it 's hard to give specific advice on the best way to deep clean your drip coffee maker . But on a daily basis , you 'll need to empty the used coffee grounds and filter paper . Or , wash out the filter if it 's a reusable style . The pitcher will also need washing after use . And if there 's a hotplate , wipe away any drips that have gathered there , so they do n't burn the next time it switches on . If in doubt you can run fresh water - without any coffee grounds - through a brew cycle , to give the inside a rinse . And if you live in a hard water area , do n't forget your coffee maker will require frequent descaling to keep it performing at its best . Before descaling , check the manual , using the wrong descaling products can in some circumstances invalidate the warranty , so it 's worth paying attention to this . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You wo n't be surprised to learn that we drink a lot of coffee when we test and review a coffee maker . We taste the coffee to check that the flavor is balanced and not overly bitter or burnt . But the flavor is in part dependent on the coffee used , so we check plenty of other things too . We also check the temperature of the brew , and if there 's a hotplate , what temperature does it keep the coffee at and for how long . During use , we 're assessing how straightforward the settings are . Nobody wants complicated menus first thing in the morning , so we 're looking for machines that are intuitive and easy to use . Build quality is another important factor , we do n't want to see any brittle or flimsy parts . And if you 're going to give an appliance space on your counter , it needs to look good , or at least , not hideous .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'taken out of' in a different context, referring to time being removed from training, which does not involve a causee or the specific interpretations (movement/extraction or prevention) associated with the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('talk him out of taking the rematch'). It involves an animate NP subject ('I') and an NP object ('him') that functions as a causee, inducing a prevention interpretation (preventing him from taking the rematch). The verb 'talk' fits the classification of verbs that appear in the V1 slot, specifically under 'By means of enticing, flattering, or verbal persuasion'. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Strictly Come Dancing 's Nick Knowles is all set to continue dancing after his recent injury scare . The DIY SOS star , aged 62 , was absent from the show the previous week due to an injury sustained during rehearsals , frustratingly close to him and his professional dance partner Luba Mushtuk 's scheduled Movie Week live performance . Knowles had voiced concerns about his continuity in the competition earlier this week ; however , it has now been established that he 'll make a comeback to the dance floor this Saturday night ( October 12 ) . Following a thorough medical assessment , the teams have given Knowles the green light . A spokesperson for the BBC said : " We are all delighted that Nick Knowles and Luba Mushtuk will be dancing in this Saturday 's show .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'built a career out of revealing', where 'revealing' is part of a prepositional phrase modifying 'career', and there is no NP object functioning as a causee. Additionally, it lacks the movement/extraction or prevention interpretation characteristic of the construction.

Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood was left unimpressed on Saturday night , as he was booed once again by the live audience . As he gave his critique to singer and Coronation Street star Shayne Ward , he was faced with loud booing . Craig had pointed out some issues with Shayne and pro dancer Nancy Xu 's latest routine . But moments earlier his co-judge Anton Du Beke also shared some criticism . Anton was n't booed though , so when Craig got a chorus of shouts he was quick to bring this up . Shayne and Nancy performed the Cha Cha to Ai n't No Love ( Ai n't No Use ) by Sub Sub feat . Melanie Williams . As it came to an end the judges praised The X Factor winner for his routine , but there was some criticism . Anton had told Shayne he 'd made a " huge improvement " , telling him : " Keep that going . " His other critique seemed to be about previous weeks , whereas Craig 's own feedback was about this week - probably explaining the boos . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ resistance and tone . Also ...

" It comes as Nick Knowles made his return to the show after missing last week 's episode due to an injury . A BBC Spokesperson said : " We are all delighted that Nick Knowles and Luba Mushtuk will be dancing in this Saturday 's show .

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('it could lock you out of claiming your free spins bonus'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the action of 'locking' prevents the object 'you' from 'claiming your free spins bonus'. The verb 'lock' can be classified under exerting force or pressure, fitting one of the categories of verbs that appear in the V1 slot. The NP object 'you' functions as a causee, participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'claiming your free spins bonus'. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

You can receive no-deposit free spins in many ways , such as welcome bonuses , VIP schemes , daily log-in bonuses and even social media giveaways . However , we 've always found that no-deposit free spins are most commonly found in smaller quantities as recurring bonuses rather than as a part of a larger seasonal or welcome bonus . While no-deposit free spins might sound too good to be true , there is a trade-off -- wagering requirements . This wo n't always be true , but you will commonly find that free spins have high wagering requirements , meaning you have to wager their value many times before you can claim any money you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a casino bonus !

For example , if they 're distributed as a log-in bonus , you might use them by going to their valid game . Or you might collect free spins from the VIP scheme page . However , since our experts have recommended five generous no-deposit free spins welcome bonuses , perfect for starting off your online casino journey , we 'll walk you through the steps for signing up to a new site and collecting these . If you have a recurring free spins bonus on your hands , the instructions for claiming them will be listed under the deal 's banner in the promotions tab . Use one of our links to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bonus to your account ! Sign up for your new account -- this may require sensitive information like your age , address and phone number . If required , enter a promo code to activate your bonus ( if you did step 1 correctly , this wo n't be an issue ) . If you need to , claim your free spins in the promotions tab in your new account . Some sites will automatically credit the spins to your account , while others may attach them to a specific game . If you win something and meet the WR , enter the banking tab of your account and withdraw -- you will need to verify your account first . Free spins no deposit bonuses are excellent , but they 're hardly the only free spins available at UK casino sites ! Here 's a closer look at some of the other free spins bonuses you can claim when playing at online casinos : Deposit Free Spins The exact opposite of free spins that do n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ free spins can be claimed by depositing into your casino account and collecting them from the promotions tab . While this may sound like a downgrade , free spins you pay for often have lower wagering requirements and a higher value per spin . Not only that , but these free spins usually come alongside another bonus , such as a deposit match bonus with free spins thrown in on the side . Free Spins No Wagering A type of bonus that 's been finding a foothold in the modern online casino space is no-wagering bonuses , i.e. a bonus that does n't have to be wagered before withdrawing . You 'll need to use no-wagering free spins at least once , but after that , the winnings are yours ! As you might expect , these free spins tend to have lower values and are much more likely to require a deposit to claim , but you 're also far more likely to win real money when you use them . Spin the Wheel Free Spins Some free spins are n't connected to regular slot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the casino you 're playing at . These free spins allow you to spin this specific wheel with the chance to win excellent prizes . This can include regular free spins , bonus funds , loyalty points and even giant jackpots . Spin the Wheel free spins are commonly dealt as login bonuses and do n't have any wagering requirements attached to them . Free Spins on Card Registration Sometimes , an online casino might be eager to promote a specific payment method or just want to incentivise you to register for a payment method and commit a little more . As such , you can sometimes claim free spins just for registering a new payment card . You 'll receive these after registering your card and sometimes once you 've made a deposit with it . Free spins on card registration tend to have lower wagering requirements too ! Free Spins on Verification Verification is one of the most annoying parts of online gambling . Online casinos do n't want to risk giving out money to fake accounts or cheaters , which is perfectly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ background checks and make us go through long and often irritating verification processes before we can withdraw any winnings . Free spins on verification are thus here to provide a little more incentive to follow through with this process , giving you a small reward on the flip side . Daily Free Spins Last up , we have daily free spins . You can receive these for doing nothing more than logging in ! Most of the time , daily free spins will be attached to a specific slot game , which you can boot up and play a few times for free ! These are surprisingly common nowadays , and most online casinos will feature daily spins in some form or another . Daily free spins are easy to come across , do n't usually require any deposits to claim and sometimes do n't even have wagering requirements ! Always keep your eyes out for a site that offers these . While free spins are tempting , you should n't claim them without a little bit of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after all . And not every free spins bonus will appeal to how you like to play ! So , how can you tell a good bonus from a weak one ? The first thing we recommend checking out is the important terms and conditions like wagering requirements and win limits . The best free spins bonuses will have lower wagering requirements , as you 're far more likely to win something when playing with them . And then you want spins with a high win limit , so you are n't capped when you try to withdraw . These two conditions will be at odds , so you want to find the best balance between the two . Next , you want to look at what games your free spins are compatible with -- for some people , this wo n't be a concern , but you 'll have a better time if they 're attached to a slot game you like . Better yet , aim for slot games with lower volatility and higher RTPs , as while they do n't win so big , they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ steep wagering requirements . Finally , pick a free spins bonus that works for your play style . While this article is primarily about no-deposit free spins , those wo n't be the best choice for everyone . If you 're on a small budget and do n't care so much about winning , no-deposit spins are a great choice , as they 're entirely free but have higher wagering . If you 're more concerned about winning money , you should instead look at no-wagering bonuses or maybe daily bonus spins . Consider what you expect from your gambling experience before committing . All online casino bonuses come with extensive terms and conditions . And while reading through them is a drag , it 's crucial that you understand the broad strokes before you claim anything . No-deposit free spins bonuses typically have similar T&Cs , so we 've outlined some of the most important points you should consider . The most important condition you want to check out is your bonus 's wagering @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to wager the value of your free spins before you can withdraw anything you win when using them . For example , if your bonus is worth ? 10 with WRs of 40x , you need to wager ? 400 in bonus funds . Unfortunately , no-deposit free spins often have very high wagering requirements , making it difficult to win anything . While many modern casino promotions do n't require a promo code to claim them , that is n't universal . In fact , many promotions do require bonus codes and simply input them automatically when you sign up through a link . If you need a bonus code , it should be in big , bold font at the top of your bonuses description page , so double-check this before confirming account creation or finalising any deposits . Similar to wagering requirements , max win limits are in place to limit your ability to cash out , just in a much more direct way . This places a specific cap on the amount of money you can withdraw @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spins with lower wagering requirements have stricter win limits and vice versa . If you want to avoid disappointment down the line , make sure you know your maximum win before claiming . Free spins bonuses are limited to one or a handful of games when you initially use them . So it 's a good idea to check out which games your no-deposit free spins are compatible with . But unless you have a no-wagering bonus , you 'll also need to know the restrictions after that point . After you 've used the free spins once , you can take your bonus winnings and wager them on other games to meet your WR -- but not all games will count equally . Typically , slots contribute 100% but table games and progressive jackpots either contribute less or wo n't count at all ! You should know which games will count before working towards the wagering requirements . Once you 've claimed your free spins , you wo n't have unlimited time to use them . While the time you 'll @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it will be around seven days after receipt . You may also have limited time to claim a bonus , especially if it 's a limited-time offer or a welcome bonus . So look out for all expiry times in the bonus T&Cs . While a casino site might support many payment options , they wo n't all be compatible with your bonus . This is often to prevent fraud , but if you are n't careful , it could lock you out of claiming your free spins bonus . On the plus side , no-deposit free spins will not require you to worry about this , although it might influence how you withdraw any winnings . You should expect this to be limited to bank transfers . Free spins have a fixed value . This value is how much every wager you make with them is worth . This is different from the total value of the bonus , which is important for knowing the wagering requirements for a deal , but you might need to learn each spin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This will usually be listed pretty high in the T&Cs , and we recommend figuring it out . We 've briefly discussed the idea of spin value , but why is it important ? Most of the time , free spins are advertised based on how many of them there are instead of how much the bonus is worth . As such , you 'll need to figure it out yourself . Do n't worry , this is much easier than it might sound . First up , figure out which numbers you already know . There are three possible numbers : number of spins , spin value and total value . You can use any two to figure out the third . We 'll assume you always know how many spins you have . To determine the total value , just multiply the spin value by the total number of spins . As an example , take talkSPORT BET 's welcome bonus : 50 spins worth 10p each will be worth ? 5 in total . Then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ value : divide the total value by the number of spins . So , 50 free spins worth ? 5 total would be worth 10p each . Bonuses are an excellent way to kick off your gambling journey or enhance your play session . But there are optimal ways to use them to get the most from your free spins . To start with , you should n't claim them to win something , but to have as much fun as possible -- responsible gambling begins with the expectation that you 'll lose everything ! Optimising your account to accrue more bonuses is also a great way to enhance play , either through reward clubs or VIP schemes . And if you 're serious about your bonuses , you can sign up for newsletters or follow your casino on social media to receive timely updates about new promotions and seasonal periods . Most importantly though , regardless of how good a casino bonus looks , always ensure you 're signing up for a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ easy to find a reliable casino , but you can check more than just the UKGC licence for signs of quality : Fairness checking from a testing body like eCOGRA A range of reliable and secure payment methods Encryption security employed across the site Quality of the customer service -- multiple contacts , 24/7 availability , human support agents Online customer reviews and complaints Once upon a time , mobile casino apps were renowned for being vastly inferior to their desktop-based companions , but those days are far behind us !

Free spins can come in as many different values as there are casinos to offer them ! However , you 'll find that free spins tend to come in a few specific quantities . And the number of free spins you 're receiving can sometimes be a clue about the T&Cs attached to them : 100+ free spins -- almost exclusive to welcome bonuses ; these bonuses look exceptionally generous and are enticing to new players . However , do n't be charmed by big numbers , as 200 free spins worth 10p with a max win of ? 10 is n't worth any more than 20 free spins worth 50p each with no win limit . 50 free spins -- the best balance between large numbers and worthwhile free spins , 50 free spins is a good quantity for all sorts of bonuses .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'Victoria opted out of creating the dress' involves the verb 'opted' which does not fit the semantic classes of verbs typically used in the construction (e.g., deception, force, persuasion). Additionally, there is no NP object between 'opted' and 'out of', and the interpretation does not align with the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Or would many Premium Bond holders be better off investing ? We discuss that , plus bitcoin ETFs , car insurance and the no and low-alcohol beer boom . The Footsie just managed to keep its head above water in 2023 - but across the Atlantic stock market returns were sparkling . We look back at shares , bonds , gold and other investments this year and with experts getting their crystal balls out , run the rule over the forecasts for 2024 . Can the Magnificent Seven keep delivering , will the bond market manage to have a quieter year , and could this finally be the time for UK shares ? The Bank of England has reached the peak with interest rates in this cycle . That 's the firm view of the markets and most analysts , despite three members of the nine-strong Monetary Policy Committee disagreeing and voting for a rate hike this week . The team look at what next for interest rates both here and in the US - and whether markets are running away with themselves . Plus , heating vs heaters , the triple-lock and kettle boiling . It 's been a rollercoaster year for mortgage rates and after the inflation panic spike over summer , lenders have been slashing costs for borrowers . The best mortgage rates are now falling towards 4% , whereas not so many months ago they were rising towards 6% - and many deals climbed above that . So is the mortgage crisis over and how much further will rates fall ? After the CMA fired a broadside at consumer brands giants for ' greedflation ' and warned Tesco and Sainsbury 's over Clubcard and Nectar Prices , the podcast team head down the shops . Plus , will a new online fraud charter make any difference ? The team discuss investing legend Charlie Munger and financial crisis Chancellor Alistair Darling , who both died this week . And finally , what makes a house price hotspot ? We look at the UK 's top 30 this year . Was that an Autumn Statement to fire Britain on to growth , as the Chancellor claimed , or a damp squib ? The podcast team dive into the details to reveal what the Autumn Statement means for you and the economy . From the Office of Budget Responsibility forecasts , to being allowed multiple Isas and the seemingly mad plan of allowing family homes to be easily converted to flats , we take the measure of Jeremy Hunt 's plans . The Autumn Statement arrives next week and the rumour mill has gone into overdrive . The idea of it being a simple update on the economy seems to have been abandoned and instead there is talk of an Isa overhaul , tax changes , and even inheritance tax being cut from 40 per cent to 20 per cent . The This is Money podcast team look at what could be on the cards as Jeremy Hunt stands up and delivers his Autumn Statement . We all know pensions are important but most of us rarely engage with them . Yet , with a little bit of time and effort , you can get your work pension working as hard as possible for you - and at some point in the future you will be very glad you did so . We talk pensions , plus what happens if you get stuck in a mortgage with your ex , why is Lee so annoyed at a sneaky insurance tax that swiftly adds up and can M&S 's sales and share price resurgence continue ? Are we finally there ? When does a pause become a peak ? And if we have reached the top of the interest rate cycle , what happens next ? We look at the decision to hold rates again and what it means for savers , mortgage borrowers and investors . Plus , Crane on the Case vs TfL , high-flying investment trusts going cheap and finally , what have the Premium Bonds and a pop quiz on number one hits in 2000 and 2008 got to do with each other ? Wages are up , but inflation is ... the same . What does it all mean for mortgage rates , the state pension , benefits and the economy generally ? One thing we know wo n't be affected by the latest figure is income tax bands . Just how much is the big freeze - AKA fiscal drag - going to cost us ? Will there be a big house price fall , a pause before a general election next year , or will the property market rebound as mortgage rates come down ? The podcast team discuss what 's next for mortgages , house prices and the property market . Plus , why are investors buying low-yield gilts , how to save for retirement and the sneaky supermarket tricks we have had enough of . This week , Angharad Carrick , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Helen Crane tackle energy bills and look at who might be paying more in the next three months . And when it comes to water bills , some firms are looking at whacking 44% rises over the next seven years . Why ? It 's been called the most hated tax in Britain - but only four per cent of people pay it . You could be forgiven for thinking inheritance tax is something only the super-rich need to worry about . But thanks to rising house prices and an increasing desire to transfer wealth between generations , more and more people are being drawn into the net . So it might come as welcome news that Rishi Sunak is reported to be considering cutting the tax , or even scrapping it altogether , as a potential vote-winner ahead of the next election . What 's wrong with inheritance tax , how could it be made fairer - and could the Government really just get rid of it ? Simon Lambert , Helen Crane and Georgie Frost discuss . It 's expensive and paid for by current workers , but the triple lock has improved the state pension - and one day those workers should get that payout themselves . Yet , has it run its course and is it time for a better policy ? Plus , the Facebook Marketplace wild west , vanishing savings deals , and what to do if you have viewed 40 homes for sale but ca n't make up your mind . Every child could receive a pot of ? 1,000 at birth to be channelled into long-term investments in UK growth under proposals to revive a ' stagnant ' economy . This week , Lee Boyce , Simon Lambert and Georgie Frost discuss the merits of the idea - and why parents should start building a pot for children as early as possible . Plus , a trio of great savings deals , are interest rates peaking , how far will house prices fall and why are used electric car values dropping like a stone ? According to new research , if you want a comfortable retirement , you need to build a pot of nearly ? 600,000 . This week , Tanya Jefferies , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Helen Crane delve into pensions , as separate research shows more than half of people saving into one believe they will never put away enough to stop working when they get older . Many people may be feeling in a state of financial flux . Savings rates have improved , gold is holding steady , property prices are flat-lining and stocks are sticky . Where would you put your money for the next five years ? That 's the question the This is Money team put to the experts - and our readers - with a mixed response . The inflation spike took central banks , governments and many ordinary people by surprise but Britain 's cost of living problem has proved more stubborn that most . The latest set of official figures on consumer prices index inflation seem to show that the UK may be making some headway on getting it down . The podcast team dig into the inflation data and look at why economists decide that real wage growth was something to worry about . After months of mortgage mayhem some better news finally arrived this week with major lenders delivering a slew of hefty rate cuts . Cuts are the silver lining to a very dark cloud as mortgage rates are far higher than they have been . We look at what next , plus Premium Bonds , good customer service and carrier bags . This week , the team talk through customer service gripes with HMRC and what a retired judge learned while acting as executor for his beloved late aunt . Base rate is now 5.25% , so what does that mean for mortgages and savings - and why do people want plastic lawn banned ? Energy firms have had their feet held to the fire this week . The industry as a whole has been blasted by the regulator Ofgem over poor customer service , while our investigation revealed that 200 customers do n't think Ovo has been billing them properly . Lee Boyce , Helen Crane and Georgie Frost ask why things are going so wrong , and what people can do if they do n't think they are being billed correctly . Earlier in the week , the consumer prices index measure of inflation fell by more than expected thanks to a fall in transport and food prices . So what does that mean for the typical household and for potential future base rate rises ? Lee Boyce , Sam Barker and Georgie Frost delve into CPI and what that means for mortgages and savers . Banks have come into the firing line this week over current account closures and slowness to pass on base rate rises to savers . Nigel Farage claims his bank shut his current account over his Brexit views - the former politician has been vocal on Twitter about his treatment by Coutts , while the exclusive bank with a high net wealth clientele has fired back . So , can banks realistically do that to you ? Georgie Frost , Simon Lambert and Lee Boyce tell you all the reasons your bank can close your current - and what to do if it happen to you . There has been plenty of doom and gloom in recent months - and today , we go searching for cheerier news . The energy price cap will fall from the weekend , plunging to ? 2,074 - below the ? 2,500 set Energy Price Guarantee from the Government . So , what should you be doing to prepare - and what does that mean for your usage ? Will we soon see the return of fixed tariffs ? This week Georgie Frost , Helen Crane and Lee Boyce discuss the new price cap , along with a sneaky move from a major energy supplier to stop quarterly billing . The Bank of England 's bumper 0.5 per cent rate hike this week was the 13th rise in a row . The Bank is hiking rates to try to crush inflation but at the same time this affects a much smaller slice of homeowners than it once did and rapid rise in mortgage costs is crushing a generation of homeowners . So , was another rate rise a wise move ? How bad is the pain for borrowers ? Is this not a patch on the 80s , or just as bad ? Has the Bank of England even given its rate rises long enough to take effect ? The mortgage market is in chaos , with lenders pulling deals and rapidly hiking rates . At the same time savings rates are going gangbusters and there is barely a day that passes without a new best buy . The podcast team dive in and try to explain why the sudden inflation-driven chaos has kicked off and what borrowers and savers can do . Supporters say UBI has the power to improve the economy and society , but critics say it 's the start of a slippery slope to state dependency . So is universal basic income a good or bad idea ? Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert discuss it on this podcast episode . Plus , why are n't energy bills lower , what should you do if you are caught in the mortgage storm and which shares have done the best this year ? Forget 5 per cent savings rates . Forget 7 per cent . A new regular savings deal has landed paying a headline-grabbing 9 per cent . But , is it actually a good deal ? And cash Isas are back with a bang with a record amount poured into tax-free accounts in March and April . We had some good news this week about our energy bills - or did we ? Ofgem 's price cap is coming down - saving households around ? 400 a year on average . The last 18 months have been horrendous for households , so bad the Government had to step in in October and introduce a price freeze - but that was still double what the typical bill payer would have had to fork out a year previously . Are we finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel , and when will fixed tariffs be back ? Plus inflation , mortgage and savings rate rises , the US debt ceiling and ' campervanflation ' . Almost five times as many people will soon be paying 40 per cent tax than in the early 1990s , when it was seen as a tax bracket reserved for the rich , the Institute for Fiscal Studies warned this week . We discuss tax and who counts as wealthy . Plus how much have you lose to inflation , Nationwide 's new ? 100 bung would you buy food past its best before date ? And there it was , another interest rate hike . Another quarter point move up seems almost commonplace now but cast your mind back to the era after the financial crisis and we had to wait nearly ten years for the base rate to climb above its 0.5 per cent ' emergency level ' . We discuss the latest rate rise and how high interest rates will go . Plus , the return of 100% mortgages , and how to avoid your family 's inheritance turning into Succession . We dig into the myriad problems with UK housebuilding and what can be done to build better homes that people want to buy and have near them . Is the answer just bringing back targets or is it more complicated than that ? Plus , what to do if you can afford to buy but are worried about mortgages and house prices , will a new crackdown stop fraudsters and should you grab a 5% savings rate ? Poor old conservatories . Once they were all the rage and now we are being told they could knock ? 15,000 off the value of a house . Meanwhile , a home office in the garden is said to add lots of value , but who has ever longed for once of those in the same way they 've dreamed of a swimming pool on a hot day ? Yet , the pool is one of the main things that will apparently put off prospective buyers . We look at the things claimed to boost your property 's value and those detracting from it . Plus , cheap bank shares , the other Woodford fund and 5% savings rates . The average prize fund rate on Premium Bonds has reached the heady heights of 3.3 per cent - going head-to-head with top easy access savings deals . But what many savers may not realise is that their chance of winning a big Premium Bonds prize of ? 100,000 or ? 50,000 has got much better too . On this podcast , we talk Premium Bonds , food inflation , loyalty cards and member prices . As if buying a home was n't enough of a lottery , borrowers are now facing a major gamble on their mortgage . Whether buying or remortgaging , they need to work out how long to fix for and try to assess what might happen next to interest rates . We discuss that , house prices , UK shares and odd classics . The Government is delaying a decision on hiking up the state pension age to 68 until after the next election - perhaps influenced by protests across the channel . Pension commentators said move would be ' incredibly unpopular ' , and likely ' political suicide ' . Governments do n't like to upset retirees because they vote in high numbers - but maintaining the status quo is incredibly expensive . Has something ultimately got to give when it comes to the state pension age and maintaining the triple lock ? On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost is joined by Tanya Jefferies and Helen Crane to discuss . Just when you thought the cost of living crisis was meant to be on its way out another round of bill hikes are hitting.From council tax to mobile bills , seemingly every organisation wants another piece of your bank account - and some of the rises are even higher than inflation . Is there anything you can do about it ? Could a bit of switching , planning and another round of cutting back on energy usage , shave some money off ? A bung for the rich or a move that will help many more young professional savers aspire to a decent retirement ? The podcast team delve into the Budget and joining them to explain the pensions element is a special guest , This is Money 's retirement columnist and ex-pensions minister Steve Webb . Also in the Budget was news on the economy , a ray of hope on energy bills , and a big expansion of 30 hours free childcare . And finally , should you be worried by the Silicon Valley Bank collapse ? A banking crisis has seemingly emerged out of nowhere , in a system that we 've been told is stable , well capitalised and far from its parlous state when the credit crunch and financial crisis struck . So , what is going on and why did both the Federal Reserve in the US and the Bank of England see fit to raise interest rates this week ? Plus , why you should consider selling some investments , what to do with your savings and Pok ? mon card investing . You 'd like to imagine that when it came to the state pension , you 'd be dealing with a more robust system than the ones that deliver the average customer service nightmare . Savers could be forgive for questioning whether that was the case after a string of recent blunders . On this podcast , we discuss a double header of state pension news , plus the best cash Isas and why transfers matter , Dividend Hero investing and whether you could afford your home now . House prices have started to fall annually for the first time since the early months of the pandemic . Nationwide 's latest index shows the biggest fall since 2012 , with higher mortgage rates and the cost of living crisis continuing to squeeze the property market . We discuss why this is happening , and whether it is a bad thing . There 's not long left until the end of the tax year - and that means it is time to sort your Isa if you have n't already . On this Isa saving and investing special podcast , Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert talk all things Isas - from finding the best saving rates , to how to invest and how to boost your chance of investment success if you already have a stocks and shares Isa . We look at how likely those interest rate forecasts are to be correct and what this all means for the economy , mortgages , savings and first-time buyers . Plus how we exposed another round of state pension blunders , with Steve Webb joining the show , the best type of Isa for you and the tumble driers that slash costs . Officially , the rise to 68 is set to happen between 2044 and 2046 , but ministers allegedly want to bring forward the change to 2035 with the policy being floated for inclusion in the March Budget . The rumours are concerning for those aged between 43 and 54 , but how likely this is to actually happen - and what can pension savers do to prepare for it ? The podcast team also look at whether mortgage rates will go below 4% , why Premium Bonds are looking more attractive and why customers ca n't make up their minds about whether they love or hate John Lewis . An astonishing idea for an Isa tax raid has been outlined by the Resolution Foundation , with the proposal that tax-free savings and investments should be capped at ? 100,000 . No more aspiring to be an Isa millionaire , it would be ? 100k and out under this plan . The podcast team tackle that idea , plus a new top Avios deal , extra clothes to cut bills and we speak to Bank of Dave 's Dave Fishwick . We will all have a different image in our heads of what our retirement years might look like , but whatever that is it is important to think about another question : could you afford to do those things ? The podcast team delve into a report that looks at putting a price on different retirements , discuss inheritance tax and whether it is grabbing too much of some people 's homes and ask if cash can help with budgeting . The New Year arrived with promises of inflation falling and a ray of hope on energy bills . But even if Rishi Sunak halves inflation , as he claims he will , it would still be running at 5 per cent and his promise to get Britain back to growth may prove harder than the simple maths that sees the rate of rises in the cost of living slow . The team delve into the prospects for the year ahead , look at what 's on the cards for the property market , pensions and savers and if Premium Bonds are a must have . Tumultous is a word that does n't really do 2022 justice . Most people were looking forward to a year of calm as the Covid pandemic faded , but instead got turmoil and the cost of living crisis . Georgie Frost , Helen Crane and Simon Lambert take a look back at the big financial events of 2022 and look forward to 2023 on this special year end podcast . First we had the great resignation and now we may be seeing a new trend emerge ' unretirement ' . Why do people want to take early retirement , why may some now be returning to work - and what would tempt more back to boost productivity and the economy ? Plus , the stock market winners and losers of 2022 , can a log burner really save you money and what are the used cars that went up in value the most this year . With inflation looking as if it has peaked , the economy probably already in recession , households and businesses feeling the squeeze , have we nearly reached the end of the rate hikes ? We look at how close we are to the end of the rate cycle and what it all means for mortgages and savings . Plus , what people can do to keep themselves warm but save on energy and what might happen next to bills The risk of a severe house price downturn of that magnitude was flagged by Rightmove founder and property market veteran Harry Hill . On this week 's podcast we discuss the prospects for the housing market , how the rapid rise in mortgage rates is affecting it and what prospective home movers or first-time buyers should do . Plus , Lee Boyce is back to talk Wooden Spoon , we discuss small building societies with big rates and get a guest appearance from Hagerty classic car specialist John Mayhead to discuss its Bull List . Rising savings rates and fiscal drag pulling more people into the higher rate bracket mean that many more savers will now have to pay tax on interest - while Jeremy Hunt 's tax raid on investors will see the capital gains tax allowance slashed to ? 6,000 and then ? 3,000 . We explain what you need to know . Plus , Steve Webb makes a guest appearance to discuss a delayed state pension victory and the pension credit fiasco and finally , why are used car prices starting to fall ? Savings and mortgage rates rocketed but even as the Bank of England continues to raise rates have they already gone as high as they will ? The This is Money podcast team discuss that , plus where will mortgage rates settle and the implication for both house prices and first-time buyers , alongside the new energy price cap and why it has jumped and how good are a bunch of oddball devices designed to warm the person not the room . In a blizzard of hikes - through threshold drops and stealth tax freezes - Hunt worked his way through a painful Autumn Statement , where good news was thin on the ground . The silver linings came from the government sticking by the pension triple lock and uprating benefits by inflation but the focus was on painful years ahead . We look at what it means . So many kites have been flown about potential tax rises that even taxing selling your own home and bringing back the 50p rate were floated as potential Autumn Statement ideas troubling Jeremy Hunt and Rishi Sunak 's minds . The PM and Chancellor want you to think they are serious , but could this bout of tax hike speculation do lasting harm to the economy ? What can be done to improve things in the rental market and have we come down too hard on buy-to-let ? That 's the question asked on this week 's podcast , as Georgie Frost , Helen Crane and Simon Lambert debate the problems in the rental market . But before that , it 's time for Rishi Sunak . Will he be able to soothe jittery markets , navigate Britain through a painful cost of living crisis winter , and somehow please the nation while taking money off people instead of dishing it out ? With Jeremy Hunt 's stern reversal tax cuts and a firm commitment to not come up with any more cunning plans that might upset the markets , is Britain now on a firmer economic footing ? Or will our quest for yet another Prime Minister spell more trouble ahead ? Britain 's economic predicament , the triple lock , house prices and how much energy we use are on the podcast agenda . If you were asked to name a world-class place to surf , a field near Bristol is n't the first location that would come to mind . But this slice of the English countryside is home to The Wave , an artificial surfing lake that is one of just a handful in the world to use cutting edge technology and was the first of its kind . For this special bonus interview episode of the This is Money podcast , Simon Lambert visited The Wave to meet Nick , be shown around and hear the story of his more than decade-long journey to get waves breaking and people riding them . When gilts hit the headlines it 's a clear sign that trouble has not only been brewing but has been unleashed . Government bond yields only tend to break through into the mainstream when things are n't going well and they have been firmly in the spotlight since Kwasi Kwarteng 's ill-fated mini-budget . But what is a gilt , why does its yield matter , what 's that got to do with prices and why do we worry about such things ? In this podcast we look . Rocketing rates have sent the average two and five-year fixed rate mortgage through the 6 per cent barrier , so what happens next and how bad will things get ? Plus , as savings rates jump should you fix , some middle-class tax cutting plans that should prove more popular than axing the 45p rate and a mystery rock star 's valuable letters and tax question . This week , Georgie Frost , Simon Lambert and Lee Boyce tackle what has been a truly remarkable one in the world of personal finance with a message of : do n't panic . So , is the UK economy in crisis ... again ? How much is the Chancellor 's ' mini ' Budget to blame ? And what can the Government do now ? Britain 's new Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng delivered a blistering mini-Budget this week that was anything that small . A wave of tax cuts were unleashed . Some had been heavily trailed , such as NI and stamp duty , but there were also two rabbits out of the hat on income tax . The team discuss what the going for growth mini-Budget means for people , how much they may save in tax , and whether it will work or cause the UK economy even more problems down the line . The Bank of England is tipped to raise interest rates by at least 0.5 per cent this week , but the pound fell to a 37-year low last week . That comes against a backdrop of inflation edging down slightly to 9.9 per cent - taking Britain out of the double-digit inflation club - with a colossal rescue plan to save households and businesses from spiralling energy prices about to kick in . The This is Money podcast team look at the pound , energy bills , inflation and interest rates , how all these issues connect and what could happen next ? To celebrate his 300th column , Steve joins Tanya , Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert for a special podcast episode to answer readers ' questions . It 's a dive into what you need to know about pensions , ranging from saving for retirement , to investing in your pension years and , of course , the state pension and triple lock . Belts are already being tightened and as bills head even higher more people will look to save where they can.But are there some things that you should avoid doing or cutting back on at all costs ? Editor Simon Lambert came up with his five false economies to avoid as inflation bites , but was he right to pick them ? The team discuss them on this podcast episode . Inflation is soaring and if predictions are correct , it would result in the CPI measure hitting 13% this autumn . That could result in a state pension rise of around ? 1,000 a year to ? 10,900 while even at the current level of 10.1% it would be upped to ? 10,600 . Inflation is up again with CPI now measured at 10.1% , the highest since February 1982 , when Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister . Lee Boyce , Helen Crane and Georgie Frost discuss the higher than forecast inflation rate and what is driving it . This week , Georgie Frost and Lee Boyce are joined by a special guest : James Blower , AKA The Savings Guru , who gives his take on where savings rates are heading next . With the lesser known challengers paying the best rates , how do you know they 're any good ? And should you fix now or wait ? The idea of the Bank of England raising base rate by 0.5 percentage points at the same time as warning about a long and painful recession would have been unthinkable a year ago . But things have dramatically changed and central banks are desperately trying to get a grip on runway inflation that just seems to keeo getting worse . The podcast team discuss the rate rise and potential recession and what it means for borrowers , savers , the economy and our financial near future . This summer has seen travel demand rebound and for many , it could be their first overseas jaunt since before the pandemic . For that reason , there may be some rusty holidaymakers out there . But fear not , Lee Boyce , Helen Crane and Georgie Frost are at hand to help get you in the holiday mood ( kind of ) . Financial independence and retiring early sounds great , but could you sacrifice enough of your spending to get there ? The FIRE movement involves living a frugal live , saving as much of your income as possible - 50 per cent or more - and investing to build a pot to retire early on . Could you do this and would the This is Money podcast 's Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert be able to stomach the hardcore budgeting and saving it requires ? This is Money 's Simon Lambert recently came up with his ten money rules , ranging from learning to budget and saving a rainy day pot , to being generous when you can afford it and not being afraid to take risks . He runs us through his thoughts behind those financial lessons and Georgie Frost and Lee Boyce chip in with their ideas for some money rules to live your life by . The economy is struggling , an inflation crisis is in full swing and the Bank of England is raising rates into a recession , yet at the end of a tumultuous week we are not just down one Prime Minister but a Chancellor too - and are n't quite sure if the new man in the job will be sticking around very long . We look at what the change in Prime Minister could mean for the UK 's economy , businesses and households - and what a new Chancellor might do and the challenges they will face . Many motorists will have received a dreaded charge in the post and in some cases , unjustifiably so . If that 's you , it 's time to fight back . Elsewhere , we talk about Halifax 's mortgage move , whether it can pay to fix energy bill , highlight the five FTSE 100 firms with the biggest share price falls this year and how small business owners tackle telling their customers that price rises are afoot . Is n't it a bit of an odd time to finally get rid of this , just as interest rates are finally rising and the base rate has jumped from 0.1 per cent to 1.25 per cent in six months ? We discuss why the Bank of England is doing this and whether it is the right move , or could lead to risky lending and even higher house prices ? Plus , inflation-fighting savings , current accounts to switch to , why investors are n't buying the dips , and can your neighbour build on your wall ? The base rate has gone from 0.1 per cent to 1.25 per cent in the space of six months , in a flurry of rate rises that would have been considered unthinkable a year ago . With inflation running at 9 per cent and expected to head north into double digits soon , the onus is on the Bank of England to show it has a grip and we are n't heading back to the 1970s . But is rapidly raising rates the right thing to do and how will it affect savers , borrowers and investors ? More state pension mistakes from the DWP and a warning we are n't saving enough in pensions is on the agenda of this podcast . The team discuss what you can do to make sure you are putting enough into your pension and why the self-employed need to pay particular attention . Plus , is it time to look again at Scottish Mortgage , big theme investing ideas and should we cut VAT on petrol ? Britain descended into holiday chaos this week , as airlines cancelled hundreds of flights , airports struggled to cope and even Eurostar ended up with a day of disruption . The team discuss where the blame lies for the disruption , what people 's rights are if their flights are cancelled and what we can all do to protect ourselves . Sudden Wealth Syndrome . It 's a thing apparently and something that many of us probably would n't mind suffering from . That 's the term used to describe those who suddenly - and perhaps unexpectedly - come into a very large sum of money . And doing so brings plenty of benefits but also its own problems . We have heard about the couple who won ? 184m on the Euromillions , but what are the challenges they face and how do you deal with that sum of money ? Inflation continues to surge , the Bank of England says there is little it can do to stall it but is raising rates any way , and at the same time is warning of a potential recession looming . It seems safe to say this is n't the Covid recovery year that many people were hoping for : the longed-for bout of calm and optimism has turned out to be a cost of living crisis instead . So , with inflation now at 9 per cent and set to rise further and central banks swiftly changing their tune on low interest rates , is a recession inevitable ? Rising interest rates and the cost of living crunch are putting a serious squeeze on how much buyers can borrow . Meanwhile , stories are emerging of lenders getting cold feet on some of the offers that ambitious buyers have had accepted and down-valuing properties . On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert discuss whether house prices can defy gravity once more . More than 40 years after Margaret Thatcher introduced Right to Buy , the current Prime Minister is considering plans to revamp the scheme . Could it unleash a home buying revolution and help give a much needed boost to the Government , or is it a bad idea rehashing an old scheme ? Is there any point trying to save when inflation is so high ? From what the best rates are and where you can get them , to why you should avoid your bank or building society 's ' insult account ' and how to turn a savings habit into an investing one that should hopefully get you a better return , we talk all things saving . What can be done to help customers struggling with soaring bills ? Will Rishi Sunak have to step in with more meaningful help than his ? 200 off now , pay it back later deal ? Should wealthier customers subsidise the bills of the poorer ? And how do we make energy firms get their act together ? We tackle the energy crunch , plus how to save enough for retirement , the Great British Rail Sale wind-up , and Netflix gets a chill . For many homeowners it 's been the case for some years that each time they remortgage , their rate comes down . But with the Bank of England liftng base rate three times in a matter of months , inflation soaring to 7 per cent , and banks and building societies hiking mortgage rates , that is no longer the case . On this podcast we look at what borrowers can do , if rates will keep rising and how inflation fits in . Plus , social broadband , a buy-to-let rebound and fiding a good insurer . This week marks the start of a new tax year and with it a National Insurance rise , a meagre state pension hike and the start of new ' no fault ' divorce system . Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Helen Crane run through what these changes potentially mean for you and why they 're important . It 's the time of year when we are urged to put our money into an Isa or pension , but faced with the choice which should you pick ? On this podcast , Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert look at the perks of each , where the drawbacks are and how you can make an informed decision . What are the essential things you need to know about a stocks and shares Isa and investing in general , whether you are just getting started or an existing investor looking to spruce up their portfolio ? On this special Isa investing podcast , Rob Morgan , chief analyst at Charles Stanley , joins This is Money editor Simon Lambert to discuss how to be a smarter investor . We look at the Spring Statement and whether tax fiddling , a 5p petrol duty cut and some money off solar panels really cut the mustard in the face of a cost of living crisis . Also what 's going on with building costs and how to try to get the best quote from a builder , stick to a budget and protect against price rises and whether to go for an asking price , guide price , or dedmand offers over . Is the BoE right to try to crack down on inflation now , or is it putting the Covid recovery at risk ? And what does this mean for savers , borrowers and investors ? We discuss the rate hike - if you can call a quarter point rise a hike - and how much more of this may be coming down the line . Plus , what are the best shares and funds to stash in your Isa in volatile times , do you have to pay tax on a ? 20,000 bitcoin profit , and would you swap your device trash for cash at Currys ? What would that ? 1million get you though , how much would you need to invest and for how long to get there - and is it enough f or financial independence ? Georgie Frost , Helen Crane and Simon Lambert discuss building your way to a ? 1million Isa and how achievable that might be . Also , mortgage rates and what to do if you need to fix , petrol prices and should you take an energy fixed rate deal ? Russia 's invasion of Ukraine has created a tragic situation that goes far beyond worries about our finances but it will have an impact on them . On this podcast , Georgie Frost , Tanya Jefferies and Simon Lambert look at what that could be . From how the Russian-Ukraine conflict will affect out personal finances : from energy bills , to petrol prices and food , to the immediate volatility it has thrust on to people 's investments , the team look at what is happening and what may happen next . A free ' midlife MOT ' course has been launched aimed at people who want to do a stocktake of their current finances , career and health . This is an idea championed by the finance industry and government . But is it any good ? Investments and pensions editor Tanya Jefferies undertook the course by finance giant Legal & General and the Open University and tells Georgie Frost and Lee Boyce of her experience . Where do you stand on smart meters ? This seemingly common sense technological advance in how we are billed for energy has proved hugely divisive . Now things have stepped up a gear , as an Ofgem change will lead to smart meters being able to send half hour updates to energy providers - opening the door for electricity pricing to change at different times of day . Is this a good idea to help the transition to green energy or a problem in the making ? Plus , how inflation could affect your spending , income and wealth and how to combat that , the weird world of rising used car prices and Bank of Dave the movie . Thursday marked a big day for the pound in our pocket . First of all , it was announced the energy price cap was to rise 54% . Hot on the heels of that bombshell we had another rate rise from the Bank of England - piling pressure on borrowers . Variable price cap-linked energy bills are expected to rise 50% and those with fixes ending face bigger rises , so are there any options to stem the bills shock ? Plus , with editor Simon Lambert one of those people whose fix is imminently ending , what are the options that his energy supplier Octopus has presented him with , and which one is he going to take ? Also on this week 's podcast , the stock market wobble , UK shares and Nationwide finally raising savings rates . Steven Bartlett is the latest star of Dragons ' Den - and we recently caught up with him for a special bonus This is Money podcast episode . In this frank interview with This is Money 's Simon Lambert , Steven tells us his story , the challenges he 's faced in his business life , how he got ahead and his tips for anyone else wanting to start a business . Turning 40 is a milestone birthday - and perhaps the one that gets people thinking most about where they are at in life . But what do you need to think about in terms of your finances , from pensions , to property , investing and saving ? This special birthday podcast looks at people 's financial life around 40 - and includes plenty of tips relevant to those who are much younger or older . Plus we look back at what economic life was like 40 years ago . Banks and building societies have been busy upping mortgage rates , with Nationwide revealing a raft of rises , but savers are still waiting . Nationwide is n't alone , almost all its big building society and banking rivals have also been failing savers for years - and although they blame the low interest rate environment that does n't stop them making bumper profits and paying out blockbuster wages to top executives . So , are they diddling savers or do they have any defence ? It 's safe to say 2021 has been an eventful one for the economy and personal finance - and our podcast has covered it all . Georgie Frost takes a look back at some of the best bits of the show starring Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce , Tanya Jefferies and Helen Crane . Plus , as a special New Year 's bonus , this week 's podcast features an interview with entrepreneur , Diary of a CEO podcaster and new Dragon in the den , Steven Bartlett . Christmas has n't been cancelled but that does n't mean that things have n't been left , right and centre , as the hospitality and entertainment industry once more bears the brunt of Covid . So , what can be done to help pubs , restaurants , cafes , music venues , theatres etc ? And what happens in terms of getting your money back if your event is cancelled or you have to skip it yourself ? Plus , would you invest in fine wine ... or even music ? The team look at how to do both . And finally , is a Christmas update on the PLSA retirement living standards research a cracker or a dud ? They finally did it ! The Bank of England 's Monetary Policy Committee raised the base rate from its emergency 0.1% level to 0.25% . Markets were cheered by the rate rise and economists were broadly welcoming too , yet the general consensus is that it will make little difference to the inflation Britain is suffering . So , why raise interest rates and was this the right move as the nation stares down the barrel of yet more Covid disruption ? We 've all felt it , that moment when you look at your bank balance and think ' I 've spent how much ? ' But what if you looked at an entire lifetime 's worth of spending ? What would the damage be and how painful would that number feel ? According to a recent piece of research by Atom Bank , the cost of living an entire near 81-year lifetime in 2021 would be a whopping ? 1,543,834 . On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert discuss that and why a snapshot like this - vaguely precise as it may be - can help us understand how inflation works and how it can drive up prices . Is it better to leave the heating on low all the time , or switch it on in smaller bursts ? Is the electric blanket cheaper than a kettle-filled hot water bottle ? Does an electric heater cost less to heat a room ? We tackle the common energy questions people regularly ask . Plus reward points , crypto investing and the mystery of the missing doorbell . Chancellor Rishi Sunak revealed a raft of measure which had already been announced - and highlighted the threat of global inflation . Georgie Frost , Simon Lambert and Lee Boyce run the rule on the latest Budget and updated figures on inflation and base rate predictions , alongside where the economy is at ... and potentially heading . Going green used to be presented as a way to save money , but the stark reality that dealing with climate change will mean spending more is dawning . On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert , discuss green bonds and better alternatives and greener homes , their costs and whether there is also better options that we are being presented with right now . Plus , the triple lock , bitcoin at a record high and who gets a present from a skip ? A new report this week highlighted just how unlikely people are to win big prizes . In fact , unless you have a sizeable amount in bonds , you should expect a long wait for anything over ? 25 . But does it matter that you 'd have to wait ages to win ? 50 or more - or are those uninspiring regular ? 25 prizes a much more useful source of returns ? We dig into Premium Bonds , looking at the odds , the study on big prizes , what our readers have told us , and also how many people hold . With inflation on the rise , homeowners nearing the end of their mortgage deals could be tempted to lock in for longer - especially with murmurs of a base rate rise . It comes as rates continue to fall , even on tracker deals . What are the pros and cons on a two , five and even a 10 year fix , and does the flexibility of a tracker mean it could be a worthy option to consider ? Savings rates are on the rise but even if you do find a best buy , do n't get complacent because there 's inflation is running at steam . The problem is that while traditional monetary policy theory dictates that should lead to interest rates rising , we have n't operated under normal conditions since the financial crisis . We look at how long it might be before we get back to a normal situation of savings accounts consistently beating inflation . Plus why investing attack may be the best form of defence and could you live off grid ? The week began with an energy crunch , as households woke up to the problems sending gas prices spiralling - and the impact that could have on their bills . It ended with a needless rush on petrol , as people were told there was no need to panic buy fuel ... and some promptly panic bought it . On this episode we look at what 's driving the problems with our bills and get an update on the state pension fiasco . The cost of living jumped by the largest amount on record to hit 3.2% in August - is it set to run out of control and prompt the Bank of England to raise interest rates ? Meanwhile , a gloomy report has lead to some economists to talk about stagflation once more . What is it , is it a threat and does it matter ? If you 're going to break one manifesto promise , then why not break two ? Why not distract from telling pensioners they ca n't have their potential 8.8 per cent triple lock state pension rise by hiking taxes for everyone . Is the tax rise fair , will it fix social care , should the triple lock have been broken and what should you do if an investment plummets , on this week 's podcast . Among its many surprises , the coronavirus pandemic has delivered a property boom . In pretty much the exact opposite scenario to that almost all experts predicted , the property market has hit fever pitch over the past year and a bit , with more people moving and house prices soaring . We take a look at the property tribes and how they are driving the market - from those who love to move , to those chasing a quick buck , and those whose sole desire is to find the perfect place to stay put . When it comes to state pensions , there has been plenty of talk in recent weeks about the triple lock and what could mean next month when it comes to an uplift . However , more than 2m receive less than ? 100 a week in state pension payments - is there a way to boost your pension ? As Britain 's streets are filled with drivers whizzing deliveries around , there 's a new top scam in town . Parcel and package delivery scams are the most common type of ' smishing ' text messages , a report said this week . The podcast looks at the rise of parcel scams , the new car shortage driving used car prices up , crunch time for the triple lock and whether the bank account battle is back . The lowest two-year fixed rate has been cut to 0.83 per cent and five-year fixed rates are available at 0.99 per cent . While these super low rates are only reserved for those with the biggest deposits , it 's clear that the mortgage price war is back on . We look at what 's driving mortgage rates down and how low home loans might go . Plus , house price snooping , fractional share dealing and emotional investing . From October , millions of households can expect to pay even more on their energy bills . Ofgem is raising the energy price cap for the second time in a year , due to rising wholesale costs . Lee Boyce , Grace Gausden and Georgie Frost take a look at the price cap , what it means and how to potentially beat it . Ministers want us to ditch gas boilers and line our houses with insulation to save the planet , but do the sums add up for cash-strapped homeowners ? Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost take a look at the Government 's aims , if green measures in your home can pay for themselves in the long-run and what it could take to pull Energy Performance Certificate ratings for homes higher . The Government is planning a major crack down on fake reviews . Under the proposals , it will become illegal to pay someone to write , or host , bogus online ratings . How much weight should we put behind buying decisions when it comes to reviews and ratings , and what exactly are the plans to prevent this kind of consumer manipulation ? In a sign of the inflationary times , the cost of renting a car has rocketed to about three times the price of last year and it 's being blamed on the semiconductor shortage . How can a lack of computer chips drive up costs so substantially at the car hire desk ? And what on earth has this got to do with the price of a bag of crisps ? On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Grace Gausden and Simon Lambert look at holidays and inflation and the points where supply and demand are intersecting to create very odd scenarios . The triple lock has always been a hot potato but things have stepped up another gear as it could deliver a bumper 8% state pension increase due to a statistical quirk . Is it fair for pensioners to get a bumper increase based on a distortion caused by the pay pain suffered by workers in lockdown ? Some say ' no ' , others say ' stick to the deal ' . Also this week , the painful cases of those who can not afford funerals for loved ones , the return of gazumping to the property market , and finally , the crazy NatWest banking rule that has forced a reader to have their employer 's bank accounts mixed with theirs in online banking . Yet more people caught up in the underpaid state pension have been unearthed - and tragically , in the two cases we highlight this week , they were n't alive to see justice . This week Lee Boyce , Tanya Jefferies , Steve Webb and Georgie Frost talk all things pensions . House prices have bounced 10 per cent over the past year meaning that the ? 15,000 maximum saving of a year ago on a ? 500,000 home would now come on a property that potentially costs ? 50,000 more . But the false economy of buying as prices soar to save on tax would be double so for any buyer who then missed the deadline and ended up with an extra ? 12,500 bill . Sneaker investing - those in the know do n't call them trainers , apparently - has become a big thing in recent years and as values have risen , so has the volume of fakes . Can anything be done , does it matter and what 's the attraction if investing in sneakers anyway ? The This is Money podcast looks at flash trainers , a space trust , stamp duty and cheap cars . As banks and building societies hint at better rates for those sticking by them and insurers are forced to stop stinging customers , we look at loyalty rewards and penalties . Also on the agenda is Britcoin , the Bank of England 's mooted cryptocurrency . What is the point of a central bank digital currency , what 's a stablecoin , and would the crypto investing crew be interested ? Plus , on the housing market front , the team look at a new idea for the Bank of Mum and Dad and Lee gets into beach huts ... are they a cheap property goldmine ? Yet another house price index has recorded record growth , as Nationwide says the average UK home is now worth ? 243,000 . Most experts say this is down to people 's changing lifestyles during the pandemic and the incentive provided by the Government 's stamp duty holiday . But are there other forces at play ? Fred Harrison , a British author and economic commentator , successfully predicted the previous two property crashes years before they occurred - and his 18-year property cycle theory says that house prices should continue to boom before crashing in 2026 . We explore how accurate this prediction might be , and also look at the other factors shaping the housing market , including tantalisingly cheap mortgages with two-year fixed rates as low as 0.99 per cent The team dig into the statistics , deliver a theory on how much you might need to hold to bag at least one prize a year , and look at whether Premium Bonds are worth having . Also , on the show , crypto corner , paying bills with commemorative coins - and what legal tender really means , why self-storage is the latest thing in short supply and who is investing 's Czech Sphinx ? Inflation is bad news for the pound in your pocket and for savers , but was n't the whole point of all that money printing and rate cutting to get a stronger recovery beat deflation ? On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , George Nixon and Simon Lambert look at why inflation has become a hot topic , how it will affect savers and investors , and what it might mean for moonshot investing and bitcoin . Will there be a surge of bookings , a last minute wait and see game , or a race to grab the few remaining staycation places during the summer holidays ? On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Simon Lambert and Grace Gausden look at the state of play for the travel industry and holidaymakers - and how to protect your hard-earned cash if you do book . This week saw the launch of new book - Never Go Broke : How To Make Money Out Of Just About Anything , co-written by This is Money personal finance editor Lee Boyce . In a podcast special , host Georgie Frost and editor Simon Lambert talk to him about the premise and are joined from Los Angeles by Storage Hunters TV star Jesse McClure , co-author of the book . The expectation is that as lockdown eases and people are released into the hoped for freedom that vaccines bring , they will go on a spending spree . But will that definitely happen and will the economic rebound be strong enough to create a virtuous circle that delivers the much-talked about Roaring Twenties ? Or will people be more cautious and adopt their newfound savings habit more permanently ? Once more into the property breach has stepped the Government , to get banks and building societies to offer more 5% deposit mortgages . But is this a wise move ? Should we stop meddling in the mortgage and property market , as short-term assistance ends up meaning long-term pain as more credit is extended and house prices climb ever higher ? Was the blockbuster Coinbase stock market listing a coming of age for bitcoin and cryptocurrency or a top of the bubble moment ? We look at the Coinbase float and what it means for the crypto and investing world , plus lower risk stable investments instead of rubbish cash Isa rates and the Spac craze . Tanya Jefferies also updates on the womens ' underpaid state pensions scandal and the team look at controversial Barclaycard 's credit limit cuts . What is the future of the office ? Will we ever go back full-time , or is a hybrid model more likely - and if you 're tempted by a shed office , what should you look out for ? On this week 's podcast , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost discuss the future of work and the pros and cons of WFH life , including the ' shoffice . ' Financial scams are on the rise . The coronavirus lockdowns have seen a fresh burst of investment cons with fraudsters impersonating legitimate companies to steal tens of thousands of pounds . We discuss the rising tide of fraud , how to stay safe and what more can be done to combat it . Plus , mortgage prisoners , the Deliveroo float and VW 's mini campervan . The headlines are telling you the property market is running hot , that the stamp duty holiday extension is stoking the fires , and buyers are ignoring the economic slump to pile in . There 's just one problem : your home is on the market and you are n't even getting any offers . Perhaps you are in a property coldspot . We look at how to take the temperature of your local property market , the best Isa investments of all time , green investing and whether cutting electric car grants was wise . What 's the point in an Isa ? This is a regular grumble as savings rates are now so low that earning 1 per cent would be a big deal . But would n't you rather have all of a small amount instead of a small amount minus tax ? And if you are investing , an Isa makes a lot of sense - embracing your gains and dividends in a nice tax-free wrapper . On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert talk Isas : from the classics , cash and stocks and shares , to the upstarts the lifetime and junior strands . It seems that despite a tough lockdown being imposed and schools being closed , the UK has adapted to restrictions better than thought when it comes to doing business.We discuss the prospects for recovery and also the businesses that have pivoted and started-up over the lockdown year . Meanwhile , a growth stock wobble in the US has sent Scottish Mortgage sliding , but a rapid bounce back erased some of those losses . Should investors be worried or is it a buying opportunity ? The Budget this week was notable for two things : Firstly , The Chancellor decided to delay settling the coronavirus bill to another day and , secondly , the true scale of the women 's underpaid state pension scandal was laid bare at ? 3billion . So , will Rishi 's Sunak 's third Budget in a year be what Britain 's economy needs to achieve escape velocity as lockdown eases ( and hopefully never comes back ) ? Rumours are swirling ahead of the Budget that Rishi Sunak will extend the stamp duty holiday by three months ? The idea is that this would help stop the collapse of chain after chain as buyers pull out , renegotiate or have to find more money if they miss the deadline . But would n't a three-month delay just kick the can down the road by another 12 weeks and lead to another cohort of buyers potentially affected ? Would it be better to just make the stamp duty holiday a permanent vacation from a bad tax ? Since the stamp duty holiday came in last summer , there has been a property market mini-boom despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic . Is it losing puff yet and if not , when is it going to run out of steam and will we see the tax holiday extended ? Why did n't GDP fall in the final stretch of last year , is there any way we could we claw our way to growth , and how bad was the coronavirus year of 2020 for the UK ? Also on the show , are we finally going to see an end to the scam refund lottery from banks for those conned into sending money to fraudsters ? Why has Tesla bought bitcoin , what does it mean and what on earth is Elon Musk playing at with his crypto tweets at the moment ? Investing mistakes can be among those that are tough to swallow and own up to . Often the easiest thing is to brush them under the carpet and try not to think about it too much . But looking at where we slipped up and learning from it is an important part of long-term investing . We discuss what can go wrong and invite you to share your blunders . The GameStop shares saga is remarkable , but should it have been allowed to get this far ? Should the trading platforms have tried to nip this in the bud , should watchdogs protect small traders involved and other investors , or in a free market should we just let people get on with stuff ? We discuss that and whether it is really a rallying point for a financially disenfranchised generation , or a get-rich-quick bandwagon being jumped ? In case you had n't noticed , bitcoin went on bit of a tear recently . And as the price of the leading cryptocurrency soared again , so did the number of stories written about it . But the vast majority of those column inches focus on two things : bitcoin 's price and should you invest ? A question that 's not so much asked is what should you do if you 've reaped handsome profits on bitcoin or another cryptocurrency ? More than five years since pension freedom arrived a solution to take the pain out of investing in retirement is being lined up . Keeping a pension invested and drawing on it as you choose in retirement has proved a very popular option . It is also a very tricky one to navigate - but now some simple help is at hand , so will it crack the conundrum of pension freedom without the pain ? This , Santander 123 cuts and big ticket inflation on the podcast . It 's probably been the gloomiest start to a year for as long as many can remember . So what happened ? The UK stock market jumped , of course . Contrary as this may seem , there is some logic to investors buying into the hope that better times lie ahead . On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert look at what the fresh lockdown means for the economy and why investors are choosing to look straight through it and develop a new appetite for buying British . Making predictions can be a mug 's game and never has that proved more true than for any made at the start of 2020 . It 's been an astonishing year , when the lives and freedoms we took for granted were dramatically disrupted - and one where ordering people to stay at home triggered the biggest economic crash in the UK since the Great Frost of 1709 . On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert look back over 2020 and by popular podcast listener demand combine it with the return of a socially-distanced Zoom Christmas taste test . Is buy now , pay later the demon it 's made out to be ? Klarna , Laybuy and the rest of the delayed spending crew are coming in for lots of scrutiny at the moment . Shoppers love them and shops pay them , but there are concerns on over-spending and the cost of not meeting payments . On this week 's podcast , we discuss the rise of the buy now , pay later firms , how they work , how they make their money on interest-free credit , and why there are worries over what on the surface looks like a great deal . This week , a new in-depth report from the Wealth Tax Commission recommended a one-off ' wealth tax ' on the richest households rather than hiking taxes for the masses . How would it work , could it be a good idea and how unpopular would it prove ? Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost take a look . ' Be greedy when others are fearful . ' Warren Buffett 's investment adage was tested this year and those who followed it would be quids in . So , has the opportunity to go bargain hunting passed ? Could our own humble stock market be one of the last places left where you can do it ? Are we missing a trick and ignoring the fact the world has changed and there is no point talking about cheap value investments , just get on the tech train ? The car itself is n't going anywhere - just the way it is propelled - so how much difference will the 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel cars make ? Is the rise of the electric car inevitable anyway and even with Brexit is it more important what Germany , France and the rest of Europe choose to do , than what the UK decides ? On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert talk electric cars : from what the shift to them means , to what they are like to drive , charge and live with . There have been some clear winners and losers in the rebound from the stock market crash as coronavirus and lockdown hit . There have been some clear winners and losers in the rebound from the stock market crash as coronavirus and lockdown hit . So why did they rise so strongly , is this the much-heralded switch from growth to value investing and what does that even mean ? Murmurs from HSBC HQ this week warned that an overhaul of its business model could leave customers paying a monthly fee for their current accounts . This week , Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost ask whether this is really a possibility , if banking actually is free anyway and what happens next . When lockdown arrived in March it sunk the UK economy . The message was clear : Stay home . And people did just that ; there was a dramatic shift to either working from home or shutting down businesses entirely . Now a second lockdown has arrived for England and the message is once again stay home , but things are very different this time : considerably more remains open . So , what happens now to the economy ? Lockdowns across Britain 's major cities , the tier system and more businesses being forced to close their doors or operate far below usual business levels means the direction of travel has shifted dramatically from the summer 's optimistic reopening of the economy . It 's likely that the UK will emerge from recession with growth over this quarter , but is it on track to head straight back into another slump ? While the world worries about coronavirus , there is another decade-defining event going on - the US election . t 's not normal circumstances though . The second wave of coronavirus and renewed lockdowns have the world 's attention and the election , if not a sideshow , is definitely not as centre stage as we would usually expect . So , does that mean it does n't matter for investors , or should be thinking about it and positioning themselves for the outcome ? The cornerstone of the Prime Minister 's Conservative Party speech this week was turning Generation Rent into Generation Buy with state-backed 95 per cent mortgages . The idea is that this will help first-time buyers frozen out by the need for big deposits - and combining it with long-term fixed rates will reduce risk ? Lockdown Britain has produced a nation of savers , ONS figures showed this week , with people salting away almost 30 per cent of their disposable income on average . But for those hoping that we might finally have got the savings habit , there 's a catch . Those figures cover April to June , a three-month period when most shops were shut , along with pubs , restaurants , hotels and B&Bs , and going on holiday was a near-impossible task . Deprived of the opportunity to spend , Britain put money aside instead - but is not spending the same as saving ? Despite some well-desrved scepticism , talk of a property market more buoyant than it 's been in years , of viewings and offers flooding in and family homes in hot demand , does n't seem to just be the usual estate agent guff . The stamp duty holiday and lockdown itchy feet have combined to make parts of the market a sellers ' one , so as a buyer what can you do to get a decent offer accepted and avoid overpaying ? As if 2020 was n't already proving to be a painful enough year , fraud has soared in lockdown . Cases are up 43 per cent in lockdown , according to Action Fraud figures , and the amount lost is up a staggering 286 per cent - meaning a victim loses ? 8,000 of their savings in average every minute . So could you fall victim to lockdown fraud ? The coronavirus crisis is still here , waves of job losses keep on coming and almost everyone is agreed there is more bad news to come.Yet , shares in the US and house prices in the UK are on the up . Is there anything behind this other than cheap central bank money and the belief that it will keep flowing and propping up asset prices ? On this week 's podcast Simon Lambert and Georgie Frost look at the parallels and differences between the British and American national obsessions of the property market and stock market . A large chunk of workers are unaware that their pension savings are invested in the stock market . Why does that matter ? Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost take a look . Meanwhile , there is a reported rift at the top of government over the state pension triple lock - what could happen to it ? Since the start of lockdown in March , more Britons have ordered supermarket shopping online to be delivered to their door to dodge the crowds and beat the queuing mayhem . This could be perfect time for Marks & Spencer , who will start its long-awaited tie-up with Ocado at the start of September , as the latter ends its 20 year long relationship with Waitrose . We are in the worst recession in living memory for the UK with GDP plummeting by 22.1 per cent in the first six months of 2020 . But strange as it may sound , does that matter ? We knew things would be terrible as the coronavirus lockdown pressed the pause button on the economy and people 's lives . The question is , what next ? Most personal investors are just ordinary people trying to grow their wealth over the long term - and like the population at large many of them care about the world around them . But while it has never been easier to be a DIY investor , how often do people really think about where their money is going and what it is doing ? On this second This is Money investing special podcast , Simon Lambert is joined again by Rob Morgan , Charles Stanley Direct 's pensions and investment analyst , to explore the world of socially responsible investing . The Bank of England upgraded its view on the economy for this year , saying GDP will only fall by a worst-in-a-century 9.5 per cent rather than a worst in 300-odd years 14.4 per cent . It also hinted that negative rates could do more harm than good , so does that mean they are off the table for the UK ? We discuss negative rates : what 's the point , do they have any positives and beyond costing savers ' interest how would they prove harmful ? After a great deal of fuss about air bridges and people being able to go on summer holiday , things suddenly changed last weekend . A swift about turn saw a 14 day quarantine period imposed for those arriving in the UK from Spain at just six hours ' notice . So is this the end of summer holidays for 2020 ? We talk holidays , travel insurance , refunds , and whether even a staycation is safe . Over the long-term investing in the stock market has proven to be the best way to beat inflation and grow your wealth . But how do you know when the time is right to start ? What are the things to consider when working out what investments might suit you ? And do you need to wait until you are wealthy before you become an investor ? The Chancellor has ordered an urgent capital gains tax review which could hit many homeowners and investors , depending on the outcome . On this week 's podcast , Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce , and Georgie Frost look at what changes could be coming for CGT and why . The showstopper was a big stamp duty cut , the important element was about keeping jobs afloat , and the rabbit out of the hat was a great British meal deal . But the question is , was Rishi Sunak splashing the cash in the summer statement enough to get the nation 's confidence back in the wake of the coronavirus crisis , or will real recovery require more down the line ? The Chancellor 's coronavirus rescue plan for the British economy has been bold and big , but one important part of the workforce feels somewhat hard done by . A chunk of the self-employed have been excluded from Rishi Sunak 's support in a way that employees have not . Anyone who is self-employed and has made more than ? 50,000 in recent years gets no help whatsoever . Is this fair ? In an unpredicted turn of events , the coronavirus lockdown has been good for some when it comes to their bank balances , but others have not been so lucky . For many , lockdown has resulted in surplus cash to tuck away thanks to spending less on everyday life - but for others , the pandemic may have resulted in a loss in income . We dive into the figures to see what 's going on and whether savings rates will continue to plummet . The number of mortgages available for those with a 10% deposit has plummeted by 90% compared since the start of March - should we be concerned and is this triggering a mortgage credit crunch ? Editor Simon Lambert , assistant editor Lee Boyce and host Georgie Frost take a look . There has been a record rise in new investors in Britain during lockdown data suggests , with novices driving the change.What do you need to get started ? This is Money editor Simon Lambert reveals to host Georgie Frost what first timers need to know on building a diverse investment portfolio . before coronavirus we were all told public transport was a good thing , now with restrictions easing and Britain slowly going back to work , people have been told to actively avoid it . Does that mean the inevitable return of the car , or with the Government promising billions to create a new era for cycling and walking , is there a brighter and greener future for mobility ? Could one of the keys be electric bicycles and scooters ? We discuss that and more on this week 's podcast . It 's nearly June , the sun is shining , and right about now people would usually be eagerly anticipating summer breaks they 've booked , or planning where to go away . On this podcast , we talk holidays : where to go , when you might be allowed to , and the all-important financial side involving booking , cancellations and refunds . And finally , what about opting for van life instead ? This week , a government bond auction saw UK gilts sold at a negative rate for the first time , while Bank of England boss Andrew Bailey refused to rule out the base rate flipping below zero . Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost look at the weird world of negative rates - an upside down where investors effectively pay to lend the government money , banks are charged interest for depositing funds with the Bank of England , and you 'd end up being stung rather than rewarded for saving . A This is Money investigation has revealed a string of women who have been underpaid their state pension , but are they just the tip of an iceberg ? On this week 's podcast , our pensions agony uncle Steve Webb and Tanya Jefferies discuss their probe into the matter . Plus we discuss the reopening of the property market and whether house prices will fall and the furlough scheme extension . In all but name it 's now the Santander 1 , 2 , 0.6 account and that does n't quite have the same attraction .

Should you save cash and accept low interest rates , or invest and take the risk that you could lose money ? This is the perennial dilemma for those with some money to set aside , who are looking to build their wealth . And it 's not been made easier by a rollercoaster 20 years . On this episode of the This is Money podcast , we look at how the options fare over the long-term , plus house prices and the businesses fighting insurer Hiscox over coronavirus . The economic destruction of the coronavirus crash was laid bare in a report from the Office of Budget Responsibility this week . But although the OBR forecast an astonishing 35% slump in UK output in the second quarter of this year - with a three-month lockdown - the other side of its chart showed a substantial bounce-back . What will we need to do for that recovery to happen - and what will it look like ? It can be tough to find good news at the moment but we go looking for some on this special podcast to celebrate spring having sprung . And amid the coronavirus gloom , there are some good news stories to tell , from how Britain has adapted to working from home , to the appreciation for our valued frontline workers and NHS staff , the entrepreneurs seeking opportunity in adversity and the ways people are finding to still stay social with friends and family . Until a few weeks ago , it 's unlikely many Britons had ever considered what being furloughed would mean , but now it 's the topic on many workers ' minds . It lies at the heart of the government 's coronavirus jobs rescue scheme - as it seeks to stem redundancies and offers to pay 80% of their wages up to ? 2,500 a month . But is picking up the wage bills of big businesses a wise move , will it help save jobs and is the price worth paying because the cost of not doing it is worse ? The Government has told people not to move home while the coronavirus lockdown is on , and the property market has been frozen as estate agents are instructed not to do viewings and valuations and surveys ca n't happen . Amidst all this , many are asking the inevitable question : ' What will happen to house prices ? ' Businesses and workers risk going bust on an almost unprecedented level , unless a coronavirus rescue plan that works can be cooked up , but how strange will that look ? Helicopter money , people 's QE and a universal basic income are three of the highly unusual measures suggested , but is that wise ? How did Rishi Sunak perform in his first Budget as Chancellor ? Why did stock markets crash ? And why did the base rate fall to 0.25% ?

This week , savings have been in sharp focus with National Savings and Investments cutting rates on a number of its offerings , including popular Premium Bonds . On this week 's podcast , Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost look at what 's behind the cuts and question : should savers head elsewhere and what is the point of tucking money away for little interest ? We talk to writers , comedians , podcasters and performers Tessa Coates and Stevie Martin about how you can make your money work if you work in the creative industry . From hosting their podcast Nobody Panic , to being in comedy trio Massive Dad , writing scripts and articles , and putting on Edinburgh shows , the pair have a lot of things to juggle . So how can you get ahead in the creative world ? We find out . This week started with rumours of a pension tax relief cut and mansion tax , saw the Chancellor fall on his sword , and ended with people none the wiser about whether a Budget tax raid is more or less likely after all that . The question is whose idea controversial plans were and whether they are now on the cards ( or was it all just a bit of Machiavellian manoeuvring ) ? We delve into the Chancellor saga , what we know about the new man , and what could happen in the Budget . Would you swap your car for an electric one ?

If you want a good deal , an undervalued opportunity , or a fixer-upper to make money on buy a home at auction . That 's the common theory , but does it actually work in practice ?

It 's crunch time for Brexit and things could go one of three ways , deal , no-deal , or kick the can down the road with another extension .

Reasoning

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'made a career out of having adventures or doing comedy' involves the verb 'made' with 'a career' as its object, followed by 'out of' and then gerund phrases 'having adventures' and 'doing comedy'. However, the NP object 'a career' does not function as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction. Instead, it describes the means by which the career was made, not causing or preventing an action by a causee.

Or would many Premium Bond holders be better off investing ? We discuss that , plus bitcoin ETFs , car insurance and the no and low-alcohol beer boom . The Footsie just managed to keep its head above water in 2023 - but across the Atlantic stock market returns were sparkling . We look back at shares , bonds , gold and other investments this year and with experts getting their crystal balls out , run the rule over the forecasts for 2024 . Can the Magnificent Seven keep delivering , will the bond market manage to have a quieter year , and could this finally be the time for UK shares ?

That 's the firm view of the markets and most analysts , despite three members of the nine-strong Monetary Policy Committee disagreeing and voting for a rate hike this week . The team look at what next for interest rates both here and in the US - and whether markets are running away with themselves . Plus , heating vs heaters , the triple-lock and kettle boiling . It 's been a rollercoaster year for mortgage rates and after the inflation panic spike over summer , lenders have been slashing costs for borrowers . The best mortgage rates are now falling towards 4% , whereas not so many months ago they were rising towards 6% - and many deals climbed above that . So is the mortgage crisis over and how much further will rates fall ?

The podcast team dive into the details to reveal what the Autumn Statement means for you and the economy . From the Office of Budget Responsibility forecasts , to being allowed multiple Isas and the seemingly mad plan of allowing family homes to be easily converted to flats , we take the measure of Jeremy Hunt 's plans . The Autumn Statement arrives next week and the rumour mill has gone into overdrive . The idea of it being a simple update on the economy seems to have been abandoned and instead there is talk of an Isa overhaul , tax changes , and even inheritance tax being cut from 40 per cent to 20 per cent . The This is Money podcast team look at what could be on the cards as Jeremy Hunt stands up and delivers his Autumn Statement .

Plus , Crane on the Case vs TfL , high-flying investment trusts going cheap and finally , what have the Premium Bonds and a pop quiz on number one hits in 2000 and 2008 got to do with each other ? Wages are up , but inflation is ... the same . What does it all mean for mortgage rates , the state pension , benefits and the economy generally ? One thing we know wo n't be affected by the latest figure is income tax bands . Just how much is the big freeze - AKA fiscal drag - going to cost us ? Will there be a big house price fall , a pause before a general election next year , or will the property market rebound as mortgage rates come down ? The podcast team discuss what 's next for mortgages , house prices and the property market . Plus , why are investors buying low-yield gilts , how to save for retirement and the sneaky supermarket tricks we have had enough of . This week , Angharad Carrick , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Helen Crane tackle energy bills and look at who might be paying more in the next three months . And when it comes to water bills , some firms are looking at whacking 44% rises over the next seven years . Why ? It 's been called the most hated tax in Britain - but only four per cent of people pay it . You could be forgiven for thinking inheritance tax is something only the super-rich need to worry about . But thanks to rising house prices and an increasing desire to transfer wealth between generations , more and more people are being drawn into the net . So it might come as welcome news that Rishi Sunak is reported to be considering cutting the tax , or even scrapping it altogether , as a potential vote-winner ahead of the next election . What 's wrong with inheritance tax , how could it be made fairer - and could the Government really just get rid of it ? Simon Lambert , Helen Crane and Georgie Frost discuss . It 's expensive and paid for by current workers , but the triple lock has improved the state pension - and one day those workers should get that payout themselves .

Plus , the Facebook Marketplace wild west , vanishing savings deals , and what to do if you have viewed 40 homes for sale but ca n't make up your mind . Every child could receive a pot of ? 1,000 at birth to be channelled into long-term investments in UK growth under proposals to revive a ' stagnant ' economy .

Plus , a trio of great savings deals , are interest rates peaking , how far will house prices fall and why are used electric car values dropping like a stone ? According to new research , if you want a comfortable retirement , you need to build a pot of nearly ? 600,000 . This week , Tanya Jefferies , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Helen Crane delve into pensions , as separate research shows more than half of people saving into one believe they will never put away enough to stop working when they get older . Many people may be feeling in a state of financial flux . Savings rates have improved , gold is holding steady , property prices are flat-lining and stocks are sticky . Where would you put your money for the next five years ? That 's the question the This is Money team put to the experts - and our readers - with a mixed response . The inflation spike took central banks , governments and many ordinary people by surprise but Britain 's cost of living problem has proved more stubborn that most . The latest set of official figures on consumer prices index inflation seem to show that the UK may be making some headway on getting it down . The podcast team dig into the inflation data and look at why economists decide that real wage growth was something to worry about . After months of mortgage mayhem some better news finally arrived this week with major lenders delivering a slew of hefty rate cuts . Cuts are the silver lining to a very dark cloud as mortgage rates are far higher than they have been . We look at what next , plus Premium Bonds , good customer service and carrier bags . This week , the team talk through customer service gripes with HMRC and what a retired judge learned while acting as executor for his beloved late aunt . Base rate is now 5.25% , so what does that mean for mortgages and savings - and why do people want plastic lawn banned ? Energy firms have had their feet held to the fire this week . The industry as a whole has been blasted by the regulator Ofgem over poor customer service , while our investigation revealed that 200 customers do n't think Ovo has been billing them properly . Lee Boyce , Helen Crane and Georgie Frost ask why things are going so wrong , and what people can do if they do n't think they are being billed correctly . Earlier in the week , the consumer prices index measure of inflation fell by more than expected thanks to a fall in transport and food prices . So what does that mean for the typical household and for potential future base rate rises ? Lee Boyce , Sam Barker and Georgie Frost delve into CPI and what that means for mortgages and savers . Banks have come into the firing line this week over current account closures and slowness to pass on base rate rises to savers . Nigel Farage claims his bank shut his current account over his Brexit views - the former politician has been vocal on Twitter about his treatment by Coutts , while the exclusive bank with a high net wealth clientele has fired back . So , can banks realistically do that to you ? Georgie Frost , Simon Lambert and Lee Boyce tell you all the reasons your bank can close your current - and what to do if it happen to you . There has been plenty of doom and gloom in recent months - and today , we go searching for cheerier news . The energy price cap will fall from the weekend , plunging to ? 2,074 - below the ? 2,500 set Energy Price Guarantee from the Government . So , what should you be doing to prepare - and what does that mean for your usage ? Will we soon see the return of fixed tariffs ? This week Georgie Frost , Helen Crane and Lee Boyce discuss the new price cap , along with a sneaky move from a major energy supplier to stop quarterly billing . The Bank of England 's bumper 0.5 per cent rate hike this week was the 13th rise in a row . The Bank is hiking rates to try to crush inflation but at the same time this affects a much smaller slice of homeowners than it once did and rapid rise in mortgage costs is crushing a generation of homeowners . So , was another rate rise a wise move ? How bad is the pain for borrowers ? Is this not a patch on the 80s , or just as bad ? Has the Bank of England even given its rate rises long enough to take effect ? The mortgage market is in chaos , with lenders pulling deals and rapidly hiking rates . At the same time savings rates are going gangbusters and there is barely a day that passes without a new best buy . The podcast team dive in and try to explain why the sudden inflation-driven chaos has kicked off and what borrowers and savers can do . Supporters say UBI has the power to improve the economy and society , but critics say it 's the start of a slippery slope to state dependency . So is universal basic income a good or bad idea ? Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert discuss it on this podcast episode . Plus , why are n't energy bills lower , what should you do if you are caught in the mortgage storm and which shares have done the best this year ? Forget 5 per cent savings rates . Forget 7 per cent . A new regular savings deal has landed paying a headline-grabbing 9 per cent . But , is it actually a good deal ? And cash Isas are back with a bang with a record amount poured into tax-free accounts in March and April . We had some good news this week about our energy bills - or did we ? Ofgem 's price cap is coming down - saving households around ? 400 a year on average . The last 18 months have been horrendous for households , so bad the Government had to step in in October and introduce a price freeze - but that was still double what the typical bill payer would have had to fork out a year previously . Are we finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel , and when will fixed tariffs be back ? Plus inflation , mortgage and savings rate rises , the US debt ceiling and ' campervanflation ' . Almost five times as many people will soon be paying 40 per cent tax than in the early 1990s , when it was seen as a tax bracket reserved for the rich , the Institute for Fiscal Studies warned this week . We discuss tax and who counts as wealthy . Plus how much have you lose to inflation , Nationwide 's new ? 100 bung would you buy food past its best before date ? And there it was , another interest rate hike . Another quarter point move up seems almost commonplace now but cast your mind back to the era after the financial crisis and we had to wait nearly ten years for the base rate to climb above its 0.5 per cent ' emergency level ' . We discuss the latest rate rise and how high interest rates will go . Plus , the return of 100% mortgages , and how to avoid your family 's inheritance turning into Succession . We dig into the myriad problems with UK housebuilding and what can be done to build better homes that people want to buy and have near them . Is the answer just bringing back targets or is it more complicated than that ? Plus , what to do if you can afford to buy but are worried about mortgages and house prices , will a new crackdown stop fraudsters and should you grab a 5% savings rate ? Poor old conservatories . Once they were all the rage and now we are being told they could knock ? 15,000 off the value of a house . Meanwhile , a home office in the garden is said to add lots of value , but who has ever longed for once of those in the same way they 've dreamed of a swimming pool on a hot day ? Yet , the pool is one of the main things that will apparently put off prospective buyers . We look at the things claimed to boost your property 's value and those detracting from it . Plus , cheap bank shares , the other Woodford fund and 5% savings rates . The average prize fund rate on Premium Bonds has reached the heady heights of 3.3 per cent - going head-to-head with top easy access savings deals . But what many savers may not realise is that their chance of winning a big Premium Bonds prize of ? 100,000 or ? 50,000 has got much better too . On this podcast , we talk Premium Bonds , food inflation , loyalty cards and member prices . As if buying a home was n't enough of a lottery , borrowers are now facing a major gamble on their mortgage . Whether buying or remortgaging , they need to work out how long to fix for and try to assess what might happen next to interest rates . We discuss that , house prices , UK shares and odd classics . The Government is delaying a decision on hiking up the state pension age to 68 until after the next election - perhaps influenced by protests across the channel . Pension commentators said move would be ' incredibly unpopular ' , and likely ' political suicide ' . Governments do n't like to upset retirees because they vote in high numbers - but maintaining the status quo is incredibly expensive . Has something ultimately got to give when it comes to the state pension age and maintaining the triple lock ? On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost is joined by Tanya Jefferies and Helen Crane to discuss . Just when you thought the cost of living crisis was meant to be on its way out another round of bill hikes are hitting.From council tax to mobile bills , seemingly every organisation wants another piece of your bank account - and some of the rises are even higher than inflation . Is there anything you can do about it ? Could a bit of switching , planning and another round of cutting back on energy usage , shave some money off ? A bung for the rich or a move that will help many more young professional savers aspire to a decent retirement ? The podcast team delve into the Budget and joining them to explain the pensions element is a special guest , This is Money 's retirement columnist and ex-pensions minister Steve Webb . Also in the Budget was news on the economy , a ray of hope on energy bills , and a big expansion of 30 hours free childcare . And finally , should you be worried by the Silicon Valley Bank collapse ? A banking crisis has seemingly emerged out of nowhere , in a system that we 've been told is stable , well capitalised and far from its parlous state when the credit crunch and financial crisis struck . So , what is going on and why did both the Federal Reserve in the US and the Bank of England see fit to raise interest rates this week ? Plus , why you should consider selling some investments , what to do with your savings and Pok ? mon card investing . You 'd like to imagine that when it came to the state pension , you 'd be dealing with a more robust system than the ones that deliver the average customer service nightmare . Savers could be forgive for questioning whether that was the case after a string of recent blunders . On this podcast , we discuss a double header of state pension news , plus the best cash Isas and why transfers matter , Dividend Hero investing and whether you could afford your home now . House prices have started to fall annually for the first time since the early months of the pandemic . Nationwide 's latest index shows the biggest fall since 2012 , with higher mortgage rates and the cost of living crisis continuing to squeeze the property market . We discuss why this is happening , and whether it is a bad thing . There 's not long left until the end of the tax year - and that means it is time to sort your Isa if you have n't already . On this Isa saving and investing special podcast , Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert talk all things Isas - from finding the best saving rates , to how to invest and how to boost your chance of investment success if you already have a stocks and shares Isa . We look at how likely those interest rate forecasts are to be correct and what this all means for the economy , mortgages , savings and first-time buyers . Plus how we exposed another round of state pension blunders , with Steve Webb joining the show , the best type of Isa for you and the tumble driers that slash costs . Officially , the rise to 68 is set to happen between 2044 and 2046 , but ministers allegedly want to bring forward the change to 2035 with the policy being floated for inclusion in the March Budget . The rumours are concerning for those aged between 43 and 54 , but how likely this is to actually happen - and what can pension savers do to prepare for it ? The podcast team also look at whether mortgage rates will go below 4% , why Premium Bonds are looking more attractive and why customers ca n't make up their minds about whether they love or hate John Lewis . An astonishing idea for an Isa tax raid has been outlined by the Resolution Foundation , with the proposal that tax-free savings and investments should be capped at ? 100,000 . No more aspiring to be an Isa millionaire , it would be ? 100k and out under this plan . The podcast team tackle that idea , plus a new top Avios deal , extra clothes to cut bills and we speak to Bank of Dave 's Dave Fishwick . We will all have a different image in our heads of what our retirement years might look like , but whatever that is it is important to think about another question : could you afford to do those things ? The podcast team delve into a report that looks at putting a price on different retirements , discuss inheritance tax and whether it is grabbing too much of some people 's homes and ask if cash can help with budgeting . The New Year arrived with promises of inflation falling and a ray of hope on energy bills . But even if Rishi Sunak halves inflation , as he claims he will , it would still be running at 5 per cent and his promise to get Britain back to growth may prove harder than the simple maths that sees the rate of rises in the cost of living slow . The team delve into the prospects for the year ahead , look at what 's on the cards for the property market , pensions and savers and if Premium Bonds are a must have . Tumultous is a word that does n't really do 2022 justice . Most people were looking forward to a year of calm as the Covid pandemic faded , but instead got turmoil and the cost of living crisis . Georgie Frost , Helen Crane and Simon Lambert take a look back at the big financial events of 2022 and look forward to 2023 on this special year end podcast . First we had the great resignation and now we may be seeing a new trend emerge ' unretirement ' . Why do people want to take early retirement , why may some now be returning to work - and what would tempt more back to boost productivity and the economy ? Plus , the stock market winners and losers of 2022 , can a log burner really save you money and what are the used cars that went up in value the most this year . With inflation looking as if it has peaked , the economy probably already in recession , households and businesses feeling the squeeze , have we nearly reached the end of the rate hikes ? We look at how close we are to the end of the rate cycle and what it all means for mortgages and savings . Plus , what people can do to keep themselves warm but save on energy and what might happen next to bills The risk of a severe house price downturn of that magnitude was flagged by Rightmove founder and property market veteran Harry Hill . On this week 's podcast we discuss the prospects for the housing market , how the rapid rise in mortgage rates is affecting it and what prospective home movers or first-time buyers should do . Plus , Lee Boyce is back to talk Wooden Spoon , we discuss small building societies with big rates and get a guest appearance from Hagerty classic car specialist John Mayhead to discuss its Bull List . Rising savings rates and fiscal drag pulling more people into the higher rate bracket mean that many more savers will now have to pay tax on interest - while Jeremy Hunt 's tax raid on investors will see the capital gains tax allowance slashed to ? 6,000 and then ? 3,000 . We explain what you need to know . Plus , Steve Webb makes a guest appearance to discuss a delayed state pension victory and the pension credit fiasco and finally , why are used car prices starting to fall ? Savings and mortgage rates rocketed but even as the Bank of England continues to raise rates have they already gone as high as they will ? The This is Money podcast team discuss that , plus where will mortgage rates settle and the implication for both house prices and first-time buyers , alongside the new energy price cap and why it has jumped and how good are a bunch of oddball devices designed to warm the person not the room . In a blizzard of hikes - through threshold drops and stealth tax freezes - Hunt worked his way through a painful Autumn Statement , where good news was thin on the ground . The silver linings came from the government sticking by the pension triple lock and uprating benefits by inflation but the focus was on painful years ahead . We look at what it means . So many kites have been flown about potential tax rises that even taxing selling your own home and bringing back the 50p rate were floated as potential Autumn Statement ideas troubling Jeremy Hunt and Rishi Sunak 's minds . The PM and Chancellor want you to think they are serious , but could this bout of tax hike speculation do lasting harm to the economy ? What can be done to improve things in the rental market and have we come down too hard on buy-to-let ? That 's the question asked on this week 's podcast , as Georgie Frost , Helen Crane and Simon Lambert debate the problems in the rental market . But before that , it 's time for Rishi Sunak . Will he be able to soothe jittery markets , navigate Britain through a painful cost of living crisis winter , and somehow please the nation while taking money off people instead of dishing it out ? With Jeremy Hunt 's stern reversal tax cuts and a firm commitment to not come up with any more cunning plans that might upset the markets , is Britain now on a firmer economic footing ? Or will our quest for yet another Prime Minister spell more trouble ahead ? Britain 's economic predicament , the triple lock , house prices and how much energy we use are on the podcast agenda . If you were asked to name a world-class place to surf , a field near Bristol is n't the first location that would come to mind . But this slice of the English countryside is home to The Wave , an artificial surfing lake that is one of just a handful in the world to use cutting edge technology and was the first of its kind . For this special bonus interview episode of the This is Money podcast , Simon Lambert visited The Wave to meet Nick , be shown around and hear the story of his more than decade-long journey to get waves breaking and people riding them . When gilts hit the headlines it 's a clear sign that trouble has not only been brewing but has been unleashed . Government bond yields only tend to break through into the mainstream when things are n't going well and they have been firmly in the spotlight since Kwasi Kwarteng 's ill-fated mini-budget . But what is a gilt , why does its yield matter , what 's that got to do with prices and why do we worry about such things ? In this podcast we look . Rocketing rates have sent the average two and five-year fixed rate mortgage through the 6 per cent barrier , so what happens next and how bad will things get ? Plus , as savings rates jump should you fix , some middle-class tax cutting plans that should prove more popular than axing the 45p rate and a mystery rock star 's valuable letters and tax question . This week , Georgie Frost , Simon Lambert and Lee Boyce tackle what has been a truly remarkable one in the world of personal finance with a message of : do n't panic . So , is the UK economy in crisis ... again ? How much is the Chancellor 's ' mini ' Budget to blame ? And what can the Government do now ? Britain 's new Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng delivered a blistering mini-Budget this week that was anything that small . A wave of tax cuts were unleashed . Some had been heavily trailed , such as NI and stamp duty , but there were also two rabbits out of the hat on income tax . The team discuss what the going for growth mini-Budget means for people , how much they may save in tax , and whether it will work or cause the UK economy even more problems down the line . The Bank of England is tipped to raise interest rates by at least 0.5 per cent this week , but the pound fell to a 37-year low last week . That comes against a backdrop of inflation edging down slightly to 9.9 per cent - taking Britain out of the double-digit inflation club - with a colossal rescue plan to save households and businesses from spiralling energy prices about to kick in . The This is Money podcast team look at the pound , energy bills , inflation and interest rates , how all these issues connect and what could happen next ? To celebrate his 300th column , Steve joins Tanya , Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert for a special podcast episode to answer readers ' questions . It 's a dive into what you need to know about pensions , ranging from saving for retirement , to investing in your pension years and , of course , the state pension and triple lock . Belts are already being tightened and as bills head even higher more people will look to save where they can.But are there some things that you should avoid doing or cutting back on at all costs ? Editor Simon Lambert came up with his five false economies to avoid as inflation bites , but was he right to pick them ? The team discuss them on this podcast episode . Inflation is soaring and if predictions are correct , it would result in the CPI measure hitting 13% this autumn . That could result in a state pension rise of around ? 1,000 a year to ? 10,900 while even at the current level of 10.1% it would be upped to ? 10,600 . Inflation is up again with CPI now measured at 10.1% , the highest since February 1982 , when Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister . Lee Boyce , Helen Crane and Georgie Frost discuss the higher than forecast inflation rate and what is driving it . This week , Georgie Frost and Lee Boyce are joined by a special guest : James Blower , AKA The Savings Guru , who gives his take on where savings rates are heading next . With the lesser known challengers paying the best rates , how do you know they 're any good ? And should you fix now or wait ? The idea of the Bank of England raising base rate by 0.5 percentage points at the same time as warning about a long and painful recession would have been unthinkable a year ago . But things have dramatically changed and central banks are desperately trying to get a grip on runway inflation that just seems to keeo getting worse . The podcast team discuss the rate rise and potential recession and what it means for borrowers , savers , the economy and our financial near future . This summer has seen travel demand rebound and for many , it could be their first overseas jaunt since before the pandemic . For that reason , there may be some rusty holidaymakers out there . But fear not , Lee Boyce , Helen Crane and Georgie Frost are at hand to help get you in the holiday mood ( kind of ) . Financial independence and retiring early sounds great , but could you sacrifice enough of your spending to get there ? The FIRE movement involves living a frugal live , saving as much of your income as possible - 50 per cent or more - and investing to build a pot to retire early on . Could you do this and would the This is Money podcast 's Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert be able to stomach the hardcore budgeting and saving it requires ? This is Money 's Simon Lambert recently came up with his ten money rules , ranging from learning to budget and saving a rainy day pot , to being generous when you can afford it and not being afraid to take risks . He runs us through his thoughts behind those financial lessons and Georgie Frost and Lee Boyce chip in with their ideas for some money rules to live your life by . The economy is struggling , an inflation crisis is in full swing and the Bank of England is raising rates into a recession , yet at the end of a tumultuous week we are not just down one Prime Minister but a Chancellor too - and are n't quite sure if the new man in the job will be sticking around very long . We look at what the change in Prime Minister could mean for the UK 's economy , businesses and households - and what a new Chancellor might do and the challenges they will face . Many motorists will have received a dreaded charge in the post and in some cases , unjustifiably so . If that 's you , it 's time to fight back . Elsewhere , we talk about Halifax 's mortgage move , whether it can pay to fix energy bill , highlight the five FTSE 100 firms with the biggest share price falls this year and how small business owners tackle telling their customers that price rises are afoot . Is n't it a bit of an odd time to finally get rid of this , just as interest rates are finally rising and the base rate has jumped from 0.1 per cent to 1.25 per cent in six months ? We discuss why the Bank of England is doing this and whether it is the right move , or could lead to risky lending and even higher house prices ? Plus , inflation-fighting savings , current accounts to switch to , why investors are n't buying the dips , and can your neighbour build on your wall ? The base rate has gone from 0.1 per cent to 1.25 per cent in the space of six months , in a flurry of rate rises that would have been considered unthinkable a year ago . With inflation running at 9 per cent and expected to head north into double digits soon , the onus is on the Bank of England to show it has a grip and we are n't heading back to the 1970s . But is rapidly raising rates the right thing to do and how will it affect savers , borrowers and investors ? More state pension mistakes from the DWP and a warning we are n't saving enough in pensions is on the agenda of this podcast . The team discuss what you can do to make sure you are putting enough into your pension and why the self-employed need to pay particular attention . Plus , is it time to look again at Scottish Mortgage , big theme investing ideas and should we cut VAT on petrol ? Britain descended into holiday chaos this week , as airlines cancelled hundreds of flights , airports struggled to cope and even Eurostar ended up with a day of disruption . The team discuss where the blame lies for the disruption , what people 's rights are if their flights are cancelled and what we can all do to protect ourselves . Sudden Wealth Syndrome . It 's a thing apparently and something that many of us probably would n't mind suffering from . That 's the term used to describe those who suddenly - and perhaps unexpectedly - come into a very large sum of money . And doing so brings plenty of benefits but also its own problems . We have heard about the couple who won ? 184m on the Euromillions , but what are the challenges they face and how do you deal with that sum of money ? Inflation continues to surge , the Bank of England says there is little it can do to stall it but is raising rates any way , and at the same time is warning of a potential recession looming . It seems safe to say this is n't the Covid recovery year that many people were hoping for : the longed-for bout of calm and optimism has turned out to be a cost of living crisis instead . So , with inflation now at 9 per cent and set to rise further and central banks swiftly changing their tune on low interest rates , is a recession inevitable ? Rising interest rates and the cost of living crunch are putting a serious squeeze on how much buyers can borrow . Meanwhile , stories are emerging of lenders getting cold feet on some of the offers that ambitious buyers have had accepted and down-valuing properties . On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert discuss whether house prices can defy gravity once more . More than 40 years after Margaret Thatcher introduced Right to Buy , the current Prime Minister is considering plans to revamp the scheme . Could it unleash a home buying revolution and help give a much needed boost to the Government , or is it a bad idea rehashing an old scheme ? Is there any point trying to save when inflation is so high ? From what the best rates are and where you can get them , to why you should avoid your bank or building society 's ' insult account ' and how to turn a savings habit into an investing one that should hopefully get you a better return , we talk all things saving . What can be done to help customers struggling with soaring bills ? Will Rishi Sunak have to step in with more meaningful help than his ? 200 off now , pay it back later deal ? Should wealthier customers subsidise the bills of the poorer ? And how do we make energy firms get their act together ? We tackle the energy crunch , plus how to save enough for retirement , the Great British Rail Sale wind-up , and Netflix gets a chill . For many homeowners it 's been the case for some years that each time they remortgage , their rate comes down . But with the Bank of England liftng base rate three times in a matter of months , inflation soaring to 7 per cent , and banks and building societies hiking mortgage rates , that is no longer the case . On this podcast we look at what borrowers can do , if rates will keep rising and how inflation fits in . Plus , social broadband , a buy-to-let rebound and fiding a good insurer . This week marks the start of a new tax year and with it a National Insurance rise , a meagre state pension hike and the start of new ' no fault ' divorce system . Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Helen Crane run through what these changes potentially mean for you and why they 're important . It 's the time of year when we are urged to put our money into an Isa or pension , but faced with the choice which should you pick ? On this podcast , Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert look at the perks of each , where the drawbacks are and how you can make an informed decision . What are the essential things you need to know about a stocks and shares Isa and investing in general , whether you are just getting started or an existing investor looking to spruce up their portfolio ? On this special Isa investing podcast , Rob Morgan , chief analyst at Charles Stanley , joins This is Money editor Simon Lambert to discuss how to be a smarter investor . We look at the Spring Statement and whether tax fiddling , a 5p petrol duty cut and some money off solar panels really cut the mustard in the face of a cost of living crisis . Also what 's going on with building costs and how to try to get the best quote from a builder , stick to a budget and protect against price rises and whether to go for an asking price , guide price , or dedmand offers over . Is the BoE right to try to crack down on inflation now , or is it putting the Covid recovery at risk ? And what does this mean for savers , borrowers and investors ? We discuss the rate hike - if you can call a quarter point rise a hike - and how much more of this may be coming down the line . Plus , what are the best shares and funds to stash in your Isa in volatile times , do you have to pay tax on a ? 20,000 bitcoin profit , and would you swap your device trash for cash at Currys ? What would that ? 1million get you though , how much would you need to invest and for how long to get there - and is it enough f or financial independence ? Georgie Frost , Helen Crane and Simon Lambert discuss building your way to a ? 1million Isa and how achievable that might be . Also , mortgage rates and what to do if you need to fix , petrol prices and should you take an energy fixed rate deal ? Russia 's invasion of Ukraine has created a tragic situation that goes far beyond worries about our finances but it will have an impact on them . On this podcast , Georgie Frost , Tanya Jefferies and Simon Lambert look at what that could be . From how the Russian-Ukraine conflict will affect out personal finances : from energy bills , to petrol prices and food , to the immediate volatility it has thrust on to people 's investments , the team look at what is happening and what may happen next . A free ' midlife MOT ' course has been launched aimed at people who want to do a stocktake of their current finances , career and health . This is an idea championed by the finance industry and government . But is it any good ? Investments and pensions editor Tanya Jefferies undertook the course by finance giant Legal & General and the Open University and tells Georgie Frost and Lee Boyce of her experience . Where do you stand on smart meters ? This seemingly common sense technological advance in how we are billed for energy has proved hugely divisive . Now things have stepped up a gear , as an Ofgem change will lead to smart meters being able to send half hour updates to energy providers - opening the door for electricity pricing to change at different times of day . Is this a good idea to help the transition to green energy or a problem in the making ? Plus , how inflation could affect your spending , income and wealth and how to combat that , the weird world of rising used car prices and Bank of Dave the movie . Thursday marked a big day for the pound in our pocket . First of all , it was announced the energy price cap was to rise 54% . Hot on the heels of that bombshell we had another rate rise from the Bank of England - piling pressure on borrowers . Variable price cap-linked energy bills are expected to rise 50% and those with fixes ending face bigger rises , so are there any options to stem the bills shock ? Plus , with editor Simon Lambert one of those people whose fix is imminently ending , what are the options that his energy supplier Octopus has presented him with , and which one is he going to take ? Also on this week 's podcast , the stock market wobble , UK shares and Nationwide finally raising savings rates . Steven Bartlett is the latest star of Dragons ' Den - and we recently caught up with him for a special bonus This is Money podcast episode . In this frank interview with This is Money 's Simon Lambert , Steven tells us his story , the challenges he 's faced in his business life , how he got ahead and his tips for anyone else wanting to start a business . Turning 40 is a milestone birthday - and perhaps the one that gets people thinking most about where they are at in life . But what do you need to think about in terms of your finances , from pensions , to property , investing and saving ? This special birthday podcast looks at people 's financial life around 40 - and includes plenty of tips relevant to those who are much younger or older . Plus we look back at what economic life was like 40 years ago . Banks and building societies have been busy upping mortgage rates , with Nationwide revealing a raft of rises , but savers are still waiting . Nationwide is n't alone , almost all its big building society and banking rivals have also been failing savers for years - and although they blame the low interest rate environment that does n't stop them making bumper profits and paying out blockbuster wages to top executives . So , are they diddling savers or do they have any defence ? It 's safe to say 2021 has been an eventful one for the economy and personal finance - and our podcast has covered it all . Georgie Frost takes a look back at some of the best bits of the show starring Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce , Tanya Jefferies and Helen Crane . Plus , as a special New Year 's bonus , this week 's podcast features an interview with entrepreneur , Diary of a CEO podcaster and new Dragon in the den , Steven Bartlett . Christmas has n't been cancelled but that does n't mean that things have n't been left , right and centre , as the hospitality and entertainment industry once more bears the brunt of Covid . So , what can be done to help pubs , restaurants , cafes , music venues , theatres etc ? And what happens in terms of getting your money back if your event is cancelled or you have to skip it yourself ? Plus , would you invest in fine wine ... or even music ? The team look at how to do both . And finally , is a Christmas update on the PLSA retirement living standards research a cracker or a dud ? They finally did it ! The Bank of England 's Monetary Policy Committee raised the base rate from its emergency 0.1% level to 0.25% . Markets were cheered by the rate rise and economists were broadly welcoming too , yet the general consensus is that it will make little difference to the inflation Britain is suffering . So , why raise interest rates and was this the right move as the nation stares down the barrel of yet more Covid disruption ? We 've all felt it , that moment when you look at your bank balance and think ' I 've spent how much ? ' But what if you looked at an entire lifetime 's worth of spending ? What would the damage be and how painful would that number feel ? According to a recent piece of research by Atom Bank , the cost of living an entire near 81-year lifetime in 2021 would be a whopping ? 1,543,834 . On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert discuss that and why a snapshot like this - vaguely precise as it may be - can help us understand how inflation works and how it can drive up prices . Is it better to leave the heating on low all the time , or switch it on in smaller bursts ? Is the electric blanket cheaper than a kettle-filled hot water bottle ? Does an electric heater cost less to heat a room ? We tackle the common energy questions people regularly ask . Plus reward points , crypto investing and the mystery of the missing doorbell . Chancellor Rishi Sunak revealed a raft of measure which had already been announced - and highlighted the threat of global inflation . Georgie Frost , Simon Lambert and Lee Boyce run the rule on the latest Budget and updated figures on inflation and base rate predictions , alongside where the economy is at ... and potentially heading . Going green used to be presented as a way to save money , but the stark reality that dealing with climate change will mean spending more is dawning . On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert , discuss green bonds and better alternatives and greener homes , their costs and whether there is also better options that we are being presented with right now . Plus , the triple lock , bitcoin at a record high and who gets a present from a skip ? A new report this week highlighted just how unlikely people are to win big prizes . In fact , unless you have a sizeable amount in bonds , you should expect a long wait for anything over ? 25 . But does it matter that you 'd have to wait ages to win ? 50 or more - or are those uninspiring regular ? 25 prizes a much more useful source of returns ? We dig into Premium Bonds , looking at the odds , the study on big prizes , what our readers have told us , and also how many people hold . With inflation on the rise , homeowners nearing the end of their mortgage deals could be tempted to lock in for longer - especially with murmurs of a base rate rise . It comes as rates continue to fall , even on tracker deals . What are the pros and cons on a two , five and even a 10 year fix , and does the flexibility of a tracker mean it could be a worthy option to consider ? Savings rates are on the rise but even if you do find a best buy , do n't get complacent because there 's inflation is running at steam . The problem is that while traditional monetary policy theory dictates that should lead to interest rates rising , we have n't operated under normal conditions since the financial crisis . We look at how long it might be before we get back to a normal situation of savings accounts consistently beating inflation . Plus why investing attack may be the best form of defence and could you live off grid ? The week began with an energy crunch , as households woke up to the problems sending gas prices spiralling - and the impact that could have on their bills . It ended with a needless rush on petrol , as people were told there was no need to panic buy fuel ... and some promptly panic bought it . On this episode we look at what 's driving the problems with our bills and get an update on the state pension fiasco . The cost of living jumped by the largest amount on record to hit 3.2% in August - is it set to run out of control and prompt the Bank of England to raise interest rates ? Meanwhile , a gloomy report has lead to some economists to talk about stagflation once more . What is it , is it a threat and does it matter ? If you 're going to break one manifesto promise , then why not break two ? Why not distract from telling pensioners they ca n't have their potential 8.8 per cent triple lock state pension rise by hiking taxes for everyone . Is the tax rise fair , will it fix social care , should the triple lock have been broken and what should you do if an investment plummets , on this week 's podcast . Among its many surprises , the coronavirus pandemic has delivered a property boom . In pretty much the exact opposite scenario to that almost all experts predicted , the property market has hit fever pitch over the past year and a bit , with more people moving and house prices soaring . We take a look at the property tribes and how they are driving the market - from those who love to move , to those chasing a quick buck , and those whose sole desire is to find the perfect place to stay put . When it comes to state pensions , there has been plenty of talk in recent weeks about the triple lock and what could mean next month when it comes to an uplift . However , more than 2m receive less than ? 100 a week in state pension payments - is there a way to boost your pension ? As Britain 's streets are filled with drivers whizzing deliveries around , there 's a new top scam in town . Parcel and package delivery scams are the most common type of ' smishing ' text messages , a report said this week . The podcast looks at the rise of parcel scams , the new car shortage driving used car prices up , crunch time for the triple lock and whether the bank account battle is back . The lowest two-year fixed rate has been cut to 0.83 per cent and five-year fixed rates are available at 0.99 per cent . While these super low rates are only reserved for those with the biggest deposits , it 's clear that the mortgage price war is back on . We look at what 's driving mortgage rates down and how low home loans might go . Plus , house price snooping , fractional share dealing and emotional investing . From October , millions of households can expect to pay even more on their energy bills . Ofgem is raising the energy price cap for the second time in a year , due to rising wholesale costs . Lee Boyce , Grace Gausden and Georgie Frost take a look at the price cap , what it means and how to potentially beat it . Ministers want us to ditch gas boilers and line our houses with insulation to save the planet , but do the sums add up for cash-strapped homeowners ? Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost take a look at the Government 's aims , if green measures in your home can pay for themselves in the long-run and what it could take to pull Energy Performance Certificate ratings for homes higher . The Government is planning a major crack down on fake reviews . Under the proposals , it will become illegal to pay someone to write , or host , bogus online ratings . How much weight should we put behind buying decisions when it comes to reviews and ratings , and what exactly are the plans to prevent this kind of consumer manipulation ? In a sign of the inflationary times , the cost of renting a car has rocketed to about three times the price of last year and it 's being blamed on the semiconductor shortage . How can a lack of computer chips drive up costs so substantially at the car hire desk ? And what on earth has this got to do with the price of a bag of crisps ? On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Grace Gausden and Simon Lambert look at holidays and inflation and the points where supply and demand are intersecting to create very odd scenarios . The triple lock has always been a hot potato but things have stepped up another gear as it could deliver a bumper 8% state pension increase due to a statistical quirk . Is it fair for pensioners to get a bumper increase based on a distortion caused by the pay pain suffered by workers in lockdown ? Some say ' no ' , others say ' stick to the deal ' . Also this week , the painful cases of those who can not afford funerals for loved ones , the return of gazumping to the property market , and finally , the crazy NatWest banking rule that has forced a reader to have their employer 's bank accounts mixed with theirs in online banking . Yet more people caught up in the underpaid state pension have been unearthed - and tragically , in the two cases we highlight this week , they were n't alive to see justice . This week Lee Boyce , Tanya Jefferies , Steve Webb and Georgie Frost talk all things pensions . House prices have bounced 10 per cent over the past year meaning that the ? 15,000 maximum saving of a year ago on a ? 500,000 home would now come on a property that potentially costs ? 50,000 more . But the false economy of buying as prices soar to save on tax would be double so for any buyer who then missed the deadline and ended up with an extra ? 12,500 bill . Sneaker investing - those in the know do n't call them trainers , apparently - has become a big thing in recent years and as values have risen , so has the volume of fakes . Can anything be done , does it matter and what 's the attraction if investing in sneakers anyway ? The This is Money podcast looks at flash trainers , a space trust , stamp duty and cheap cars . As banks and building societies hint at better rates for those sticking by them and insurers are forced to stop stinging customers , we look at loyalty rewards and penalties . Also on the agenda is Britcoin , the Bank of England 's mooted cryptocurrency . What is the point of a central bank digital currency , what 's a stablecoin , and would the crypto investing crew be interested ? Plus , on the housing market front , the team look at a new idea for the Bank of Mum and Dad and Lee gets into beach huts ... are they a cheap property goldmine ? Yet another house price index has recorded record growth , as Nationwide says the average UK home is now worth ? 243,000 . Most experts say this is down to people 's changing lifestyles during the pandemic and the incentive provided by the Government 's stamp duty holiday . But are there other forces at play ? Fred Harrison , a British author and economic commentator , successfully predicted the previous two property crashes years before they occurred - and his 18-year property cycle theory says that house prices should continue to boom before crashing in 2026 . We explore how accurate this prediction might be , and also look at the other factors shaping the housing market , including tantalisingly cheap mortgages with two-year fixed rates as low as 0.99 per cent The team dig into the statistics , deliver a theory on how much you might need to hold to bag at least one prize a year , and look at whether Premium Bonds are worth having . Also , on the show , crypto corner , paying bills with commemorative coins - and what legal tender really means , why self-storage is the latest thing in short supply and who is investing 's Czech Sphinx ? Inflation is bad news for the pound in your pocket and for savers , but was n't the whole point of all that money printing and rate cutting to get a stronger recovery beat deflation ? On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , George Nixon and Simon Lambert look at why inflation has become a hot topic , how it will affect savers and investors , and what it might mean for moonshot investing and bitcoin . Will there be a surge of bookings , a last minute wait and see game , or a race to grab the few remaining staycation places during the summer holidays ? On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Simon Lambert and Grace Gausden look at the state of play for the travel industry and holidaymakers - and how to protect your hard-earned cash if you do book . This week saw the launch of new book - Never Go Broke : How To Make Money Out Of Just About Anything , co-written by This is Money personal finance editor Lee Boyce . In a podcast special , host Georgie Frost and editor Simon Lambert talk to him about the premise and are joined from Los Angeles by Storage Hunters TV star Jesse McClure , co-author of the book . The expectation is that as lockdown eases and people are released into the hoped for freedom that vaccines bring , they will go on a spending spree . But will that definitely happen and will the economic rebound be strong enough to create a virtuous circle that delivers the much-talked about Roaring Twenties ? Or will people be more cautious and adopt their newfound savings habit more permanently ? Once more into the property breach has stepped the Government , to get banks and building societies to offer more 5% deposit mortgages . But is this a wise move ? Should we stop meddling in the mortgage and property market , as short-term assistance ends up meaning long-term pain as more credit is extended and house prices climb ever higher ? Was the blockbuster Coinbase stock market listing a coming of age for bitcoin and cryptocurrency or a top of the bubble moment ? We look at the Coinbase float and what it means for the crypto and investing world , plus lower risk stable investments instead of rubbish cash Isa rates and the Spac craze . Tanya Jefferies also updates on the womens ' underpaid state pensions scandal and the team look at controversial Barclaycard 's credit limit cuts . What is the future of the office ? Will we ever go back full-time , or is a hybrid model more likely - and if you 're tempted by a shed office , what should you look out for ? On this week 's podcast , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost discuss the future of work and the pros and cons of WFH life , including the ' shoffice . ' Financial scams are on the rise . The coronavirus lockdowns have seen a fresh burst of investment cons with fraudsters impersonating legitimate companies to steal tens of thousands of pounds . We discuss the rising tide of fraud , how to stay safe and what more can be done to combat it . Plus , mortgage prisoners , the Deliveroo float and VW 's mini campervan . The headlines are telling you the property market is running hot , that the stamp duty holiday extension is stoking the fires , and buyers are ignoring the economic slump to pile in . There 's just one problem : your home is on the market and you are n't even getting any offers . Perhaps you are in a property coldspot . We look at how to take the temperature of your local property market , the best Isa investments of all time , green investing and whether cutting electric car grants was wise . What 's the point in an Isa ? This is a regular grumble as savings rates are now so low that earning 1 per cent would be a big deal . But would n't you rather have all of a small amount instead of a small amount minus tax ? And if you are investing , an Isa makes a lot of sense - embracing your gains and dividends in a nice tax-free wrapper . On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert talk Isas : from the classics , cash and stocks and shares , to the upstarts the lifetime and junior strands . It seems that despite a tough lockdown being imposed and schools being closed , the UK has adapted to restrictions better than thought when it comes to doing business.We discuss the prospects for recovery and also the businesses that have pivoted and started-up over the lockdown year . Meanwhile , a growth stock wobble in the US has sent Scottish Mortgage sliding , but a rapid bounce back erased some of those losses . Should investors be worried or is it a buying opportunity ? The Budget this week was notable for two things : Firstly , The Chancellor decided to delay settling the coronavirus bill to another day and , secondly , the true scale of the women 's underpaid state pension scandal was laid bare at ? 3billion . So , will Rishi 's Sunak 's third Budget in a year be what Britain 's economy needs to achieve escape velocity as lockdown eases ( and hopefully never comes back ) ? Rumours are swirling ahead of the Budget that Rishi Sunak will extend the stamp duty holiday by three months ? The idea is that this would help stop the collapse of chain after chain as buyers pull out , renegotiate or have to find more money if they miss the deadline . But would n't a three-month delay just kick the can down the road by another 12 weeks and lead to another cohort of buyers potentially affected ? Would it be better to just make the stamp duty holiday a permanent vacation from a bad tax ? Since the stamp duty holiday came in last summer , there has been a property market mini-boom despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic . Is it losing puff yet and if not , when is it going to run out of steam and will we see the tax holiday extended ? Why did n't GDP fall in the final stretch of last year , is there any way we could we claw our way to growth , and how bad was the coronavirus year of 2020 for the UK ? Also on the show , are we finally going to see an end to the scam refund lottery from banks for those conned into sending money to fraudsters ? Why has Tesla bought bitcoin , what does it mean and what on earth is Elon Musk playing at with his crypto tweets at the moment ? Investing mistakes can be among those that are tough to swallow and own up to . Often the easiest thing is to brush them under the carpet and try not to think about it too much . But looking at where we slipped up and learning from it is an important part of long-term investing . We discuss what can go wrong and invite you to share your blunders . The GameStop shares saga is remarkable , but should it have been allowed to get this far ? Should the trading platforms have tried to nip this in the bud , should watchdogs protect small traders involved and other investors , or in a free market should we just let people get on with stuff ? We discuss that and whether it is really a rallying point for a financially disenfranchised generation , or a get-rich-quick bandwagon being jumped ? In case you had n't noticed , bitcoin went on bit of a tear recently . And as the price of the leading cryptocurrency soared again , so did the number of stories written about it . But the vast majority of those column inches focus on two things : bitcoin 's price and should you invest ? A question that 's not so much asked is what should you do if you 've reaped handsome profits on bitcoin or another cryptocurrency ? More than five years since pension freedom arrived a solution to take the pain out of investing in retirement is being lined up . Keeping a pension invested and drawing on it as you choose in retirement has proved a very popular option . It is also a very tricky one to navigate - but now some simple help is at hand , so will it crack the conundrum of pension freedom without the pain ? This , Santander 123 cuts and big ticket inflation on the podcast . It 's probably been the gloomiest start to a year for as long as many can remember . So what happened ? The UK stock market jumped , of course . Contrary as this may seem , there is some logic to investors buying into the hope that better times lie ahead . On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert look at what the fresh lockdown means for the economy and why investors are choosing to look straight through it and develop a new appetite for buying British . Making predictions can be a mug 's game and never has that proved more true than for any made at the start of 2020 . It 's been an astonishing year , when the lives and freedoms we took for granted were dramatically disrupted - and one where ordering people to stay at home triggered the biggest economic crash in the UK since the Great Frost of 1709 . On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert look back over 2020 and by popular podcast listener demand combine it with the return of a socially-distanced Zoom Christmas taste test . Is buy now , pay later the demon it 's made out to be ? Klarna , Laybuy and the rest of the delayed spending crew are coming in for lots of scrutiny at the moment . Shoppers love them and shops pay them , but there are concerns on over-spending and the cost of not meeting payments . On this week 's podcast , we discuss the rise of the buy now , pay later firms , how they work , how they make their money on interest-free credit , and why there are worries over what on the surface looks like a great deal . This week , a new in-depth report from the Wealth Tax Commission recommended a one-off ' wealth tax ' on the richest households rather than hiking taxes for the masses . How would it work , could it be a good idea and how unpopular would it prove ? Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost take a look . ' Be greedy when others are fearful . ' Warren Buffett 's investment adage was tested this year and those who followed it would be quids in . So , has the opportunity to go bargain hunting passed ? Could our own humble stock market be one of the last places left where you can do it ? Are we missing a trick and ignoring the fact the world has changed and there is no point talking about cheap value investments , just get on the tech train ? The car itself is n't going anywhere - just the way it is propelled - so how much difference will the 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel cars make ? Is the rise of the electric car inevitable anyway and even with Brexit is it more important what Germany , France and the rest of Europe choose to do , than what the UK decides ? On this week 's podcast , Georgie Frost , Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert talk electric cars : from what the shift to them means , to what they are like to drive , charge and live with . There have been some clear winners and losers in the rebound from the stock market crash as coronavirus and lockdown hit . There have been some clear winners and losers in the rebound from the stock market crash as coronavirus and lockdown hit . So why did they rise so strongly , is this the much-heralded switch from growth to value investing and what does that even mean ? Murmurs from HSBC HQ this week warned that an overhaul of its business model could leave customers paying a monthly fee for their current accounts . This week , Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost ask whether this is really a possibility , if banking actually is free anyway and what happens next . When lockdown arrived in March it sunk the UK economy . The message was clear : Stay home . And people did just that ; there was a dramatic shift to either working from home or shutting down businesses entirely . Now a second lockdown has arrived for England and the message is once again stay home , but things are very different this time : considerably more remains open . So , what happens now to the economy ? Lockdowns across Britain 's major cities , the tier system and more businesses being forced to close their doors or operate far below usual business levels means the direction of travel has shifted dramatically from the summer 's optimistic reopening of the economy . It 's likely that the UK will emerge from recession with growth over this quarter , but is it on track to head straight back into another slump ? While the world worries about coronavirus , there is another decade-defining event going on - the US election . t 's not normal circumstances though . The second wave of coronavirus and renewed lockdowns have the world 's attention and the election , if not a sideshow , is definitely not as centre stage as we would usually expect . So , does that mean it does n't matter for investors , or should be thinking about it and positioning themselves for the outcome ? The cornerstone of the Prime Minister 's Conservative Party speech this week was turning Generation Rent into Generation Buy with state-backed 95 per cent mortgages . The idea is that this will help first-time buyers frozen out by the need for big deposits - and combining it with long-term fixed rates will reduce risk ? Lockdown Britain has produced a nation of savers , ONS figures showed this week , with people salting away almost 30 per cent of their disposable income on average . But for those hoping that we might finally have got the savings habit , there 's a catch . Those figures cover April to June , a three-month period when most shops were shut , along with pubs , restaurants , hotels and B&Bs , and going on holiday was a near-impossible task . Deprived of the opportunity to spend , Britain put money aside instead - but is not spending the same as saving ? Despite some well-desrved scepticism , talk of a property market more buoyant than it 's been in years , of viewings and offers flooding in and family homes in hot demand , does n't seem to just be the usual estate agent guff . The stamp duty holiday and lockdown itchy feet have combined to make parts of the market a sellers ' one , so as a buyer what can you do to get a decent offer accepted and avoid overpaying ? As if 2020 was n't already proving to be a painful enough year , fraud has soared in lockdown . Cases are up 43 per cent in lockdown , according to Action Fraud figures , and the amount lost is up a staggering 286 per cent - meaning a victim loses ? 8,000 of their savings in average every minute . So could you fall victim to lockdown fraud ? The coronavirus crisis is still here , waves of job losses keep on coming and almost everyone is agreed there is more bad news to come.Yet , shares in the US and house prices in the UK are on the up . Is there anything behind this other than cheap central bank money and the belief that it will keep flowing and propping up asset prices ? On this week 's podcast Simon Lambert and Georgie Frost look at the parallels and differences between the British and American national obsessions of the property market and stock market . A large chunk of workers are unaware that their pension savings are invested in the stock market . Why does that matter ? Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost take a look . Meanwhile , there is a reported rift at the top of government over the state pension triple lock - what could happen to it ? Since the start of lockdown in March , more Britons have ordered supermarket shopping online to be delivered to their door to dodge the crowds and beat the queuing mayhem . This could be perfect time for Marks & Spencer , who will start its long-awaited tie-up with Ocado at the start of September , as the latter ends its 20 year long relationship with Waitrose . We are in the worst recession in living memory for the UK with GDP plummeting by 22.1 per cent in the first six months of 2020 . But strange as it may sound , does that matter ? We knew things would be terrible as the coronavirus lockdown pressed the pause button on the economy and people 's lives . The question is , what next ? Most personal investors are just ordinary people trying to grow their wealth over the long term - and like the population at large many of them care about the world around them . But while it has never been easier to be a DIY investor , how often do people really think about where their money is going and what it is doing ? On this second This is Money investing special podcast , Simon Lambert is joined again by Rob Morgan , Charles Stanley Direct 's pensions and investment analyst , to explore the world of socially responsible investing . The Bank of England upgraded its view on the economy for this year , saying GDP will only fall by a worst-in-a-century 9.5 per cent rather than a worst in 300-odd years 14.4 per cent . It also hinted that negative rates could do more harm than good , so does that mean they are off the table for the UK ? We discuss negative rates : what 's the point , do they have any positives and beyond costing savers ' interest how would they prove harmful ? After a great deal of fuss about air bridges and people being able to go on summer holiday , things suddenly changed last weekend . A swift about turn saw a 14 day quarantine period imposed for those arriving in the UK from Spain at just six hours ' notice . So is this the end of summer holidays for 2020 ? We talk holidays , travel insurance , refunds , and whether even a staycation is safe . Over the long-term investing in the stock market has proven to be the best way to beat inflation and grow your wealth . But how do you know when the time is right to start ? What are the things to consider when working out what investments might suit you ? And do you need to wait until you are wealthy before you become an investor ? The Chancellor has ordered an urgent capital gains tax review which could hit many homeowners and investors , depending on the outcome . On this week 's podcast , Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce , and Georgie Frost look at what changes could be coming for CGT and why . The showstopper was a big stamp duty cut , the important element was about keeping jobs afloat , and the rabbit out of the hat was a great British meal deal . But the question is , was Rishi Sunak splashing the cash in the summer statement enough to get the nation 's confidence back in the wake of the coronavirus crisis , or will real recovery require more down the line ? The Chancellor 's coronavirus rescue plan for the British economy has been bold and big , but one important part of the workforce feels somewhat hard done by . A chunk of the self-employed have been excluded from Rishi Sunak 's support in a way that employees have not . Anyone who is self-employed and has made more than ? 50,000 in recent years gets no help whatsoever . Is this fair ? In an unpredicted turn of events , the coronavirus lockdown has been good for some when it comes to their bank balances , but others have not been so lucky . For many , lockdown has resulted in surplus cash to tuck away thanks to spending less on everyday life - but for others , the pandemic may have resulted in a loss in income . We dive into the figures to see what 's going on and whether savings rates will continue to plummet . The number of mortgages available for those with a 10% deposit has plummeted by 90% compared since the start of March - should we be concerned and is this triggering a mortgage credit crunch ? Editor Simon Lambert , assistant editor Lee Boyce and host Georgie Frost take a look . There has been a record rise in new investors in Britain during lockdown data suggests , with novices driving the change.What do you need to get started ? This is Money editor Simon Lambert reveals to host Georgie Frost what first timers need to know on building a diverse investment portfolio . before coronavirus we were all told public transport was a good thing , now with restrictions easing and Britain slowly going back to work , people have been told to actively avoid it . Does that mean the inevitable return of the car , or with the Government promising billions to create a new era for cycling and walking , is there a brighter and greener future for mobility ? Could one of the keys be electric bicycles and scooters ? We discuss that and more on this week 's podcast . It 's nearly June , the sun is shining , and right about now people would usually be eagerly anticipating summer breaks they 've booked , or planning where to go away . On this podcast , we talk holidays : where to go , when you might be allowed to , and the all-important financial side involving booking , cancellations and refunds . And finally , what about opting for van life instead ? This week , a government bond auction saw UK gilts sold at a negative rate for the first time , while Bank of England boss Andrew Bailey refused to rule out the base rate flipping below zero . Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost look at the weird world of negative rates - an upside down where investors effectively pay to lend the government money , banks are charged interest for depositing funds with the Bank of England , and you 'd end up being stung rather than rewarded for saving . A This is Money investigation has revealed a string of women who have been underpaid their state pension , but are they just the tip of an iceberg ? On this week 's podcast , our pensions agony uncle Steve Webb and Tanya Jefferies discuss their probe into the matter . Plus we discuss the reopening of the property market and whether house prices will fall and the furlough scheme extension . In all but name it 's now the Santander 1 , 2 , 0.6 account and that does n't quite have the same attraction . The latest Santander 123 account rate cut , trying to turn a profit on mortgage holidays , how we pay for the coronavirus crisis and furlough scheme and the crash in car sales all feature on this week 's This is Money podcast . s this the stock market signalling the start of a coronavirus recovery , or have investors merely been piling in driven by Fomo - the fear of missing out ?

Plus , how Britain gets back to business , tips for brave holiday bookers and 40-year-old cars that are now classics . Fiat Panda , anyone ? Should you save cash and accept low interest rates , or invest and take the risk that you could lose money ? This is the perennial dilemma for those with some money to set aside , who are looking to build their wealth . And it 's not been made easier by a rollercoaster 20 years . On this episode of the This is Money podcast , we look at how the options fare over the long-term , plus house prices and the businesses fighting insurer Hiscox over coronavirus . The economic destruction of the coronavirus crash was laid bare in a report from the Office of Budget Responsibility this week . But although the OBR forecast an astonishing 35% slump in UK output in the second quarter of this year - with a three-month lockdown - the other side of its chart showed a substantial bounce-back . What will we need to do for that recovery to happen - and what will it look like ? It can be tough to find good news at the moment but we go looking for some on this special podcast to celebrate spring having sprung . And amid the coronavirus gloom , there are some good news stories to tell , from how Britain has adapted to working from home , to the appreciation for our valued frontline workers and NHS staff , the entrepreneurs seeking opportunity in adversity and the ways people are finding to still stay social with friends and family . Until a few weeks ago , it 's unlikely many Britons had ever considered what being furloughed would mean , but now it 's the topic on many workers ' minds . It lies at the heart of the government 's coronavirus jobs rescue scheme - as it seeks to stem redundancies and offers to pay 80% of their wages up to ? 2,500 a month . But is picking up the wage bills of big businesses a wise move , will it help save jobs and is the price worth paying because the cost of not doing it is worse ? The Government has told people not to move home while the coronavirus lockdown is on , and the property market has been frozen as estate agents are instructed not to do viewings and valuations and surveys ca n't happen . Amidst all this , many are asking the inevitable question : ' What will happen to house prices ? ' Businesses and workers risk going bust on an almost unprecedented level , unless a coronavirus rescue plan that works can be cooked up , but how strange will that look ? Helicopter money , people 's QE and a universal basic income are three of the highly unusual measures suggested , but is that wise ? How did Rishi Sunak perform in his first Budget as Chancellor ? Why did stock markets crash ? And why did the base rate fall to 0.25% ? On this week 's podcast , Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost , dissect what has been one of the most turbulent weeks in living memory . We talk talk cash savings deals , the best services to invest , and how to overcome the fear that coronavirus-induced stock market falls have delivered . Elsewhere , we discuss the best new cars of the Geneva Motor Show that got cancelled but had its launches online and Lee Boyce cracks open a low-alcohol beer at Adnams brewery , in Suffolk , and asks : has the taste become better ... and why ? On this episode of the Making the Money Work podcast , comedian Shappi Khorsandi joins Andi Peters and Simon Lambert to discuss how she built a career in comedy , her unusual life as the daughter of an exiled Iranian poet - and how she once hired Alan Carr to work in a charity call centre . This week , savings have been in sharp focus with National Savings and Investments cutting rates on a number of its offerings , including popular Premium Bonds . On this week 's podcast , Simon Lambert , Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost look at what 's behind the cuts and question : should savers head elsewhere and what is the point of tucking money away for little interest ? We talk to writers , comedians , podcasters and performers Tessa Coates and Stevie Martin about how you can make your money work if you work in the creative industry . From hosting their podcast Nobody Panic , to being in comedy trio Massive Dad , writing scripts and articles , and putting on Edinburgh shows , the pair have a lot of things to juggle . So how can you get ahead in the creative world ? We find out . This week started with rumours of a pension tax relief cut and mansion tax , saw the Chancellor fall on his sword , and ended with people none the wiser about whether a Budget tax raid is more or less likely after all that . The question is whose idea controversial plans were and whether they are now on the cards ( or was it all just a bit of Machiavellian manoeuvring ) ? We delve into the Chancellor saga , what we know about the new man , and what could happen in the Budget . Would you swap your car for an electric one ? If the government gets its way , soon many more of us will have to . The proposed ban on selling new petrol and diesel cars was dragged forward by five years to 2035 this week .

On this week 's podcast , we discuss both what Brexit means immediately for consumers and travellers , and how things may pan out for the economy and our finances over the year ahead . It 's tax return time . The organised will have safely filed their tax returns long ago , but there are still plenty of people who do n't yet feel the last minute has arrived . But what if you are meant to fill in a tax return and do n't realise ?

The sentence 'What do you get out of acting nowadays?' does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object between the verb 'get' and 'out of acting', and it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to inquire about benefits or results derived from acting, which is unrelated to the construction's defined properties.

Imagine for a moment that you are Harrison Ford in the year 2024 . You are 82 years old , and arguably one of the last living old-school movie stars , held aloft above an army of actors whose names do n't get people to buy tickets . You 're Han Solo . You 're Rick Deckard . You 're Indiana Jones , for crying out loud . How do you navigate through life with a legacy like that ? Some actors at this point would yank up the drawbridge and rest on their laurels . And who could blame them ? They 've earned their money . They 've achieved immortality . Any more work on top of that would simply undermine all they 've forged . Say what you like about Gene Hackman , but at least he 's never going to junk his reputation by coming out of retirement to appear in , say , Dirty Grandpa . But this is not the path that Harrison Ford has chosen . Because right now Harrison Ford is everywhere . Last year he made his fifth Indiana Jones film . This week he 'll reprise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Shrinking . He 's just finished filming the second season of the blockbuster western 1923 , and next year he 's joining the MCU , pulling double duty as both the president of America and a literal Hulk . Ford 's relentless work ethic came up during an interview with Vanity Fair recently . " What do you get out of acting nowadays ? " he was asked . His response : " Oh man , I get out of it essential human contact . " He 's a doer ... Ford in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny . Photograph : Lucasfilm Ltd . There was more to it than that -- he went on to say that he enjoys working with talented people -- but the crux of it simply seems to be that working gets him out of the house . Sitting and festering is for other people . He 's a doer . The result of this is that Ford is now doing work that pushes at the limits of his legacy . The most recent Indiana Jones might not have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tell a story about what happens to heroes when they get older and punch a bunch of Nazis in the face in the digitally de-aged prologue . 1923 saw him test the boundaries of his trademark gruffness over a long-form format . Shrinking is the most charming thing on television at the moment , in part thanks to Ford 's willingness to cut loose . And even if the next Captain America fails to restore the MCU to its former glory , there 's something extremely giddy about the thought of Harrison Ford running around in a mo-cap suit hulking out like he did that time at Comic-Con . There 's now a looseness to Ford that has n't always been there . For a while his reputation was that of a hunched and grumpy recluse who could n't quite find his place . He made action films like Firewall and Paranoia that aimed to be throwbacks but ended up drifting dangerously close to straight-to-DVD fare . In interviews he was guarded and brittle , and perhaps a little lost . In retrospect , this hesitance seems to stem @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back then was like watching a boxer in the 12th-round , trying to last the course in the vain hope that he 'd be able to snatch a win on points . What a difference to today . The reason why he is working so much at the moment is because he has stopped gripping the reins so tightly . If your motivation to work is to simply be around people , that means you get to do whatever you want . It does n't matter if you fail or not , because that is n't the reason you entered into it .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'pulled out of writing' does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to describe a decision to stop writing, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

At the start of the century , when he was directing Michael Gambon in a revival of Harold Pinter 's The Caretaker , Patrick Marber sat down for a glass of wine with the nervous playwright . The opening night performance was about to begin and Pinter told him he was worried that the critics would n't like the play . Marber could n't believe it . He told Pinter that , yes , the critics might not like the production , but they were sure to like the play . It was a long-established masterpiece after all . " Harold said , ' Do you really think so ? Oh , thank you very much . ' And I realised I 'd never properly told him what a great play I thought it was . I thought he knew . I had n't realised that even the great Harold wanted his director to love his play . " It 's not a mistake that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in his words ) " semi-pro director " -- made again . When he worked with Tom Stoppard , first in 2016 on a revival of his play Travesties and then in 2019 on his most recent play , Leopoldstadt , he made sure that Stoppard knew what a fan of the plays he was . And he meant it , even if he also asked Stoppard for more nips and tucks to those plays than directors had asked for before . And when , more recently , Marber talked with Marius von Mayenburg , the German writer of Nachtland , the satirical comedy Marber is staging at the Young Vic in south London , he made sure to express his love for it . Patrick Marber ALAMY " We all need a pat on the back , " he says . And , yes , he enjoyed getting his own last summer when he won best director at the Tony awards on Broadway for Leopoldstadt , Stoppard 's story of a Viennese Jewish family living through the arrivals of the Nazis . " It 's really @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hard to win an Oscar . You need so much luck . There is so much competition . You feel blessed . " Marber , 59 , a jovially furrowed presence as we sit in a Young Vic anteroom , gives a rueful smile . " For a night , anyway . " After that , work begins again . Nachtland is the story of siblings who find a painting by Adolf Hitler in their late father 's attic . The sister wants to sell it . The brother wants to keep it as a memento of their father . His Jewish wife wants to destroy it . " It has uncomfortable moments . But you watch it with a smile . It does n't feel anything like directing Leopoldstadt , which was sad and upsetting . " He went to see Nachtland when it was performed at the Schaub ? hne in Berlin last year . " There was some laughter , some wincing , but I do n't think it 's a wincer for the Young Vic . " He thinks we will feel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ questions it asks of the legacy of Nazism . So why do it ? " Oh , because it 's about right-wingery . It 's about fascism . It 's about liberal hypocrisy . It takes swipes at the left , the right , the centre . " He is not unusually motivated , though , to direct a play that addresses antisemitism . " As a Jew , I think antisemitism has been pertinent at any time in the last 2000 years . " Nachtland follows fast after Pandemonium , Armando Iannucci 's satirical play that recast the events of the pandemic in mock-Jacobean verse . That marked the first time Marber had worked with Iannucci since they made their names in the Nineties working on the radio news satire On the Hour , which became the television news satire The Day Today , which led to the Alan Partridge spoof chat show Knowing Me , Knowing You . " Armando changed my life . Everyone talks about a lucky break -- well , that was mine . And so if he 'd asked me to direct @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I felt I owed him . And I was really pleased with what we did . " Marber grew up in Wimbledon , the older of two boys . He went to the independent schools St Paul 's and Cranleigh before studying English at Oxford . After that he earned his living as a stand-up comic , starting out at the same time as Jack Dee , Jo Brand and Eddie Izzard . " And that was as good , if not better an education than studying English literature , for a playwright . You get to hear the audience , you get to hear how you get the laugh . " He had gone to Paris to write a novel but was getting nowhere with it when he got the call from Iannucci . He had written sketches for the Radio 4 satire Week Ending when Iannucci was its producer . Now Iannucci wanted Marber to join Chris Morris , Steve Coogan , Rebecca Front , Doon Mackichan and David Schneider in the team making On the Hour . The Day Today and Knowing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He pulled out of writing for Partridge after that but , as co-creators with Coogan , he and Iannucci get " a bit of pocket money " every time something is done with the character . " Which is very nice of Steve . " Mind you , he 's still waiting for his complimentary copy of the latest Partridge book , Big Beacon . " I 'm a fan . " He left comedy because his playwriting career was taking off . He still has the fax from the National Theatre 's boss of the time , Richard Eyre , saying that he wanted to put on Dealer 's Choice , Marber 's first play , inspired by the writer 's poker habit . Thirty years later it is on the wall of his study at his home in Soho . " I got really lucky . I knew my subject . " He mined his love life for the follow-up , Closer , which opened at the National in 1997 before going to the West End and Broadway and becoming a film . " One of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can only really write from the absolute heart . If I can write another two or three plays before I die I 'll be happy . " Julia Roberts and Jude Law in the film version of Closer , adapted from a play written by Marber ALAMY The only two original plays to come since Closer are Howard Katz in 2001 , about a showbiz agent , and The Red Lion in 2015 , inspired by Marber 's time helping to run Lewes Football Club . But screenwriting has long been his bread and butter . He and his actress wife , Debra Gillett , have three children , aged 22 , 20 and 18 . " Which is still quite expensive . " So he will be back to writing for the rest of 2024 . He is adapting for the screen Peter Cameron 's novel What Happens at Night . Before that , The Critic , his adaptation of Anthony Quinn 's novel Curtain Call , starring Ian McKellen and Gemma Arterton , will be out . Does success in other fields @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " No , it still drives me mad . I love all the things I do but when I 'm writing a play I think that 's the real job . " Does playwriting offer a sense of control he ca n't get otherwise , perhaps ? This prompts a grim laugh . " It sure does n't feel like control . It 's guesswork and darkness and a torch . You write two lines of dialogue and you think you 're a god . And then you stare at a blank page for five hours . It 's very up and down . " During lockdown he was diagnosed with ADHD . It made sense to him : he had always struggled with deadlines , always needed six hours to do two hours ' work , keeps his office in a state he describes as " Dickensian " . He has a prescription for drugs to manage it , but still has n't taken the plunge . Maybe he will after Nachtland , he says . Gunnar Cauthery with Dorothea Myer-Bennett in the Young Vic production @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ diagnosis , maybe it 's his age -- " once your kids call you an old f*** you kind of have to accept you are " -- but these days he allows himself to feel blessed . He 's just finished a day 's rehearsal with a cast that includes Jane Horrocks and John Heffernan . " And all I ever wanted to do was laze around and have fun with nice people like this . How nice to be in a room with brilliant actors . And then a guy from a newspaper comes to talk to me , about me . I 've dreamt of things like this since my twenties . How pathetic that my ego needs that . But it does . " He chuckles , then passes on a story Pinter told him about going up to a couple reading a rave review of his latest play on the Tube to tell them who he was . " We 're back where we started . " Nachtland is at the Young Vic , London , to April 20 , youngvic.org |

Forty-one city centre businesses have signed up for the new Hanley gift card . Stoke-on-Trent City Centre Business Improvement District ( BID ) has launched the gift card which can be used in 41 locations . Physical and e-card versions of the Stoke-on-Trent Gift Card can be bought online . It is the latest attempt to bring shoppers and diners back to Hanley . Paul Williams is BID 's lead director for place marketing . He said : " The gift card is already making a big impact in Stoke-on-Trent city centre as we start to use the card within our events and activities . We now have a local option for gifts for all occasions , including organisations rewarding their staff , universities supporting students , and people buying for friends and family . As every card has to be spent in our city centre , it drives footfall and locks essential spend into Hanley that would otherwise be spent elsewhere . " Businesses are backing the gift card . Dereece Gardner , who owns Desire Cocktail Bar , said : " Desire is a luxurious cocktail bar and somewhere nice to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say it feels like they 're in a bar in Manchester or London . The Stoke-on-Trent Gift Card is a great idea and we 're excited to be a part of it . As a gift card , it 's massively appealing . You can go out for food and drinks , go shopping , all boosting the local economy . " Local businesses need initiatives like this so we can encourage people into Hanley and put us on a level playing field with nearby towns and cities . We only opened in December so Desire is still a new business , and being a part of the gift card can encourage new customers to give us a try . " Dan Baker owns The Little Magic Corner Shop . He said : " There have been so many improvements in the city centre recently , and I hope the gift card encourages people to visit and support local businesses so they can see the diverse range of retailers . The choice aspect of the gift card is brilliant because there 's nothing worse than buying someone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't use it or do n't like it . It takes the gamble out of buying a gift . And I think the digital version especially will give younger people a chance to experience local shopping . It was always my dream to open a business in Stoke-on-Trent and when people support my business and other local businesses , it makes the world of difference . " A number of national retailers have signed up the gift card . Dylan Bailey , from Jack & Jones , said : " We do n't accept the national gift cards but wanted to be a part of the Stoke-on-Trent City Centre Gift Card because it 's a gift card that is just for Hanley that will bring more footfall to the city . The choice for the recipient -- with big brands and independent business -- is fantastic . Jack & Jones is the only menswear store in The Potteries Centre and we 've not only just launched our autumn/winter range but will also be stocking exclusive new lines in our store . " @ @ Homeowners tormented by the all-too-familiar nuisance of unwanted cars parking on their property often find themselves in a quandary over how to resolve the issue . Questions arise as to whether this annoyance is covered by the Highway Code or if it necessitates police intervention . Moreover , there 's uncertainty about whether it 's considered a criminal offence . The Highway Code , which was updated just last year , introduced a " hierarchy of road users " that places greater emphasis on pedestrian safety and imposes more responsibility on drivers of larger vehicles to minimise risk to other road users . It includes specific rules about parking , from Rules 239 to 252 , with Rule 243 explicitly stating that drivers must not stop or park " in front of an entrance to a property " . Nonetheless , the law does not classify it as a criminal offence when a driver parks on someone else 's driveway without permission . The recommended course of action for homeowners is to politely request the driver to move , or if the driver ca n't be located , to leave a polite note on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's consent could be seen as trespassing , a civil , not criminal , matter , meaning police typically do not get involved with vehicles parked on private driveways . However , should a vehicle appear to be abandoned , that 's when local councils may step in to remove the car , according to SomersetLive . Many might not realise that a car parked across your driveway could be more than just an inconvenience ; it 's often against the law and can result in fines . Local authorities , armed with Civil Parking Enforcement ( CPE ) powers , are able to issue penalties for vehicles obstructing access to properties . The go-to online helpdesk ' Ask The Police ' provides advice on this matter , suggesting : " If the vehicle is blocking access to your driveway you should first make enquiries with the neighbours to see if they know who the car belongs to , so they can move it . " It 's also highlighted that : " In most areas local councils have now taken on responsibility for enforcing parking provisions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) . Under CPE , it 's an offence to park a vehicle that blocks a dropped kerb driveway . " Furthermore , the approach to dealing with such issues can differ based on individual council policies , which may require reporting directly to them or , where CPE is n't enforced by the council , reaching out to the local police . It 's pointed out that , " The police/council policy for dealing with such matters may vary between forces/councils . Some police forces may only attend if your car has been blocked in and you can not get out . " |

The clock is ticking towards Warren Gatland naming his squad for this November 's internationals against Fiji , Australia and South Africa . Wales endured a torrid 2023/24 season and have lost their previous nine Test matches , so Gatland will be desperate to get back on the winning trail this autumn . Gatland and his coaching team have been visible in the vast majority of Welsh games in the United Rugby Championship this season , while there has also been the odd journey over the Severn bridge to keep an eye on those plying their trade in England . Rugby correspondent Steffan Thomas takes a look at the squad Gatland is likely to select next week , with the announcement scheduled for Monday . Perhaps Wales do n't have the cutting edge they used to have in the back-three but there remains enough talent to score tries if given a platform . It 's a shame former rugby league star Regan Grace is sidelined with a hamstring injury because he looked very good in the victory over the Queensland Reds this summer . Gatland is likely to select Liam Williams and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also a shoe in for the squad . Josh Hathaway missed the first three weeks of the season but made his Gloucester comeback on the weekend , setting up a try for Max Llewellyn in the early stages of the game . Wales are likely to stick with the 20-year-old but there remains question marks over experienced wing Josh Adams who has not been fit to play so far this season . " If they do n't make the end of this fixture block , they 're not going to be medically fit to play for Wales , I would say , " said Cardiff head coach Matt Sherratt when asked about the fitness of Adams and Taulupe Faletau . " It would be a big call for two players who have n't played that long to go back into an international autumn series . " But if he can prove his fitness he is likely to be included , while Scarlets wing Tom Rogers might sneak back into the squad . Mason Grady is also an option on the wing . Jacob Beetham has also not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ likely to return by the end of this first block of URC fixtures . Given his versatility and the fact he impressed Gatland this summer the Cardiff man stands a decent chance of sneaking into the squad . If there is one position where Wales have struggled for cohesion over the past year it has been in midfield . Wales have lacked penetration at centre , with the partnership of Owen Watkin and Mason Grady failing to convince as of yet . Grady is nailed on for the squad , while the Wales coaches like the reliability of Watkin . The form centre in Welsh rugby this season has been Cardiff 's Ben Thomas but Gatland has been fairly adamant up to now he sees the 25-year-old as a 10 . Eddie James fits the mould of what Gatland has historically valued at inside centre with his explosive power , subtle distribution and his ability to make significant post-contact metres giving the 22-year-old an edge . Keiran Williams has been playing well for the Ospreys but does n't suit the way Gatland wants to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of hands since making his debut in 2020 but was n't at his best for Wales last season . One player I would like to see included is Gloucester 's Max Llewellyn who has been excellent for the Cherry & Whites this season . Llewellyn has the power and the size to make his mark on the international circuit but more than anything the 25-year-old is a very intelligent rugby player . Johnny Williams was outstanding for the Scarlets in the victory over Cardiff on Saturday but has struggled at Test level in the past . It would n't surprise me if Gatland looked ahead to the future and selected Scarlets teenager Macs Page . The 19-year-old is a serious prospect who is explosive , has great footwork and create opportunities out of nothing while he can also cover the back-three . Wales have struggled to find a suitable replacement for Dan Biggar and at this moment in time do n't have a first choice number 10 . While there are doubts over his fitness , the squad would benefit if Gatland brought Gareth Anscombe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would be a short-term fix but he has hit form Gloucester at just the right time . But more than anything else it 's his experience and game management which would really boost this Wales squad . Ben Thomas wore the number 10 shirt in Australia and it 's hard to see him not making this squad , especially given his versatility . Wales have invested heavily in Sam Costelow but the Scarlets man is not at his best . Does Gatland reward in-form Ospreys playmaker Dan Edwards who is arguably the form 10 in Wales ? Does he recall Callum Sheedy who at 28 is a bit more experienced than Edwards ? Another potential option is Scarlets man Ioan Lloyd who put in an outstanding player of the match performance in the victory over Cardiff on the weekend . Lloyd is a very talented footballer but was left out of the summer squad , with Gatland citing his desire to include more size at outside-half . Historically Gatland has always been a loyal coach and while Costelow is a little out of sorts Wales have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seasons . They know he has the potential to perform at this level and may well keep faith in the Scarlets playmaker . Outside-halves - Gareth Anscombe , Ben Thomas , Sam Costelow Gatland will be delighted to have Tomos Williams back fit and firing . The 29-year-old missed the summer Test matches but has been outstanding for Gloucester and is one of the first names on Gatland 's team sheet . Gatland needs to decide whether he wants to move on from the 34-year-old Gareth Davies and look to the future . If he is selecting his three best scrum-halves then Davies should be included . Ellis Bevan performed well over the summer after making his Test debut against South Africa in June , so expect the Cardiff man to keep his place . Ospreys pair Kieran Hardy and Reuben Morgan-Williams , along with the Dragons ' Rhodri Williams are also contenders , while the experienced Aled Davies ca n't be discounted . Scrum-halves - Tomos Williams , Gareth Davies , Ellis Bevan . Ospreys loosehead Gareth Thomas is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ strong start to the season since moving to Leicester Tigers ? Over the past few seasons Smith was among the best scrummaging looseheads in the URC and gave South Africa 's premier tighthead Frans Malherbe a torrid time at the set-piece during the Ospreys ' eye-catching victory over the Stormers in Cape Town last season . That Leicester , who put great stock in their scrummaging , perhaps more than any other side , identified Smith as a key signing says all you need to know about the 30-year-old 's quality . Perhaps Smith has been overlooked by Wales in recent years because of his size , but he is a significantly better scrummager than the other looseheads in the squad and Gatland could do worse than select the Tigers star . If he goes for Smith , which is a big if , it would then be a toss of a coin decision between Corey Domachowski and Kemsley Mathias for the third loosehead birth . And now we get on to tighthead prop , undoubtedly the weakest position in Wales . Gatland will undoubtedly want Tomas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ruled himself out while he remains in France with Provence . As long as he recovers from illness in time , Archie Griffin , who was outstanding in Australia this summer , is nailed on , while a fully fit Leon Brown should also get included . Keiron Assiratti and Henry Thomas are the other tightheads vying for a place in the squad , while Harlequins ' Dillon Lewis is also an option . At hooker both Dewi Lake and Ryan Elias are pretty much nailed on but Elliot Dee faces a race against time to prove his fitness having not recovered from an ankle injury . Gatland has invested in Cardiff hooker Evan Lloyd , while his club teammate Efan Daniel toured Australia in the summer . But if Gatland picks on form he will include Dragons hooker Brodie Coghlan who has been outstanding in the URC so far this season . Gatland will be boosted by the return of Adam Beard but is without Exeter Chiefs lock Dafydd Jenkins who is absent through injury . It would come as a shock if there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been good for Racing 92 this season , even captaining the Parisian outfit on a few occasions . Ben Carter played well against South Africa at Twickenham in June and has started the season well for the Dragons , while Christ Tshiunza is a likely pick having impressed in Australia . Teddy Williams is a player with potential but Gatland might also look at Gloucester lock Freddie Thomas . The 22-year-old is a former England U20s international but has declared his goal of playing for Wales . Thomas is a powerful and dynamic carrier who can also slow in at blindside . Beard , Rowlands and Tshiunza are nailed on but with it likely being a shootout between Carter , Williams and Thomas for an extra two places . There is no doubt Gatland would like Taulupe Faletau in his squad but perhaps the Six Nations might be a more sensible target considering he has hardly played any rugby over the past year . It looks likely Aaron Wainwright will be fit after sustaining a hamstring injury in Australia this summer and even if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expect Gatland to include the 27-year-old in his squad . Ospreys fans will no doubt want their in-form No 8 Morgan Morris in the squad but Gatland is likely to stick with young Cardiff No 8 MacKenzie Martin because of his size and carrying ability . Scarlets backrower Taine Plumtree is another likely selection , while Jac Morgan and Tommy Reffell are dead certs . It is likely to be a toss of the coin job between James Botham and Taine Basham for one position given both can cover the whole backrow . Dragons backrower Shane Lewis-Hughes is bang in form and deserves to enter the conversation , while former Wales U20s captain Ryan Woodman has been identified as an international star of the future but they may just miss out this time around . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('We' + 'talk' + 'him' + 'out of doing things'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the subject is trying to prevent the object from doing something. The verb 'talk' is in the category of means by enticing, flattering, or verbal persuasion, which is appropriate for the construction. The NP object 'him' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'doing things'. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

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

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'opt out of' followed by a gerund phrase 'providing teas for the visiting team', which does not involve a causer and causee relationship or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The context is about choosing not to provide something, not about causing someone to move out of or preventing someone from doing something.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'opt out of' followed by a gerund phrase 'providing teas for the visiting team', which is a different construction. There is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the interpretation is neither movement/extraction nor prevention.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('City know that if they price fans out of watching games'). It involves a prevention interpretation, where the action of pricing fans out is preventing them from watching games. The verb 'price' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure', and the NP object 'fans' functions as a causee who is prevented from participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'watching games'. This fits the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The cost of watching football is a discussion rarely off the agenda and generates no shortage of opinion from supporters at clubs up and down the country , largely because , at some clubs , it 's become unaffordable for many . When you factor in travel , food and the need to often take time off work , one 90-minute game can often cost more than ? 100 , and that figure will only rise if you have children . Let 's not get started on replica kit prices - we 'll save that one for another day . At Hull City , ticket prices became a particularly hot topic under the previous ownership of the Allam family when concession tickets were scrapped , with the Tigers found to be in breach of Premier League rules for doing so . The introduction of a membership scheme was also criticised , replacing the traditional season tickets , though now , many would agree the membership scheme actually works out well and is the most cost-effective way of watching Tim Walter 's team in action . Not only that , fans have access to good facilities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drink anywhere in the country , and that includes the Premier League . While the membership scheme remains , it does bring City fans a host of extra privileges , including the ability to build up loyalty points to spend on merchandise , amongst other stuff , while members also have the benefit of attending a host of events throughout the year , and not just the traditional signing sessions . Young fans , for instance , can enjoy bowling and computer game sessions with first-team players , and of course , the famed trips to Turkey . Few clubs do as much as City to engage with their fans , young and old . Understandably , City have cut the MKM Stadium into three sections . Zones One , Two , and Three , the price depends on the area in which you choose to sit . Basically , if you want to sit in what is perceived to be the best view in the stadium - around the halfway line - then you 'll pay a bit more - ? 40 per month compared with ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out at just over ? 20 per game if paid monthly ( ? 32 if you buy match-by-match ) , and I think most would agree that 's fair . And what 's great about the Tigers ' ticketing policy is that they do n't rip off away supporters . Visiting fans do n't pay more than ? 24 for the best-priced seat inside the away section , meaning they do not pay more than any home supporter with a comparative view elsewhere in the stadium . Already this season , City fans were charged ? 38 for sections of the away stand at QPR with ? 32 the cheapest for adults , while Under-18s were ? 20 and ? 17 respectively . At Leeds United , it was ? 30 for adults , or ? 23.50 for kids between two and 15 - those prices generated much annoyance , and rightly so . Neither of those stadiums has good facilities , certainly not worthy of charging those prices . Ticket revenue is significant for clubs , and City are no different . While the club 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of energy to run the stadium or the increased costs on the playing side , City have worked hard to keep watching the team be competitive and affordable . No doubt in the future there will need to be increases to cover those costs , but any such rises are done after every other alternative has been exhausted , and I think as a general rule , Tigers fans respect and understand that , but also appreciate the effort the club goes to in trying to keep prices as low as possible . City know that if they price fans out of watching games , attendances will drop and there will be huge swathes of empty seats around the MKM Stadium . Given the extensive work staff behind the scenes have done to increase attendances while making matchday fun for families , that would be a disaster and something Ilicali would not allow . The club have worked tirelessly since the takeover in January 2022 to re-engage the community , and it 's worked . The MKM Stadium consistently attracts crowds well in excess of 20,000 , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ around 2,300 compared to previous years when away clubs were given about double that . It would be easy for clubs such as City , who have limited revenue streams from elsewhere , to hike ticket prices to eye-watering levels ( like QPR ) and try to make an extra few thousand pounds from ticket-buying supporters . But in doing so , they would do more damage , and that damage could be irreparable . You risk losing a generation of supporters , the future , the children now who will bring their children in years to come . City 's matchday experience is exceptional , and at the root of that is its sensible pricing policy , which encourages people from all backgrounds to come and watch their local team . They 're a club that gets it , and they are not tone-deaf and understand their role - and importance - in the community .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'opt out of' which is a phrasal verb followed by a gerund phrase 'receiving marketing messages from us'. There is no NP object between the verb and 'out of', and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('which takes many small firms out of paying employer NI contributions altogether'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the action of 'taking' prevents the small firms from 'paying employer NI contributions'. The verb 'takes' can be classified under the means of exerting force or pressure, fitting one of the categories of verbs that appear in the V1 slot of the construction. The NP object 'many small firms' functions as a causee, participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

Rachel Reeves and Sir Keir Starmer have declined to rule out increasing employers ' national insurance contributions at the upcoming Budget ( Image : Jonathan Brady/PA ) Any move to increase employers ' national insurance contributions is a ' real concern ' for businesses in Cumbria , according to a local business peer network . Suzanne Caldwell , managing director of Cumbria Chamber of Commerce , said numerous challenges for businesses and workers alike would be presented if a rise is announced in Chancellor Rachel Reeves ' budget on October 30 . Ms Reeves has refused to rule out this increase , stressing instead that Labour has promised not to raise taxes on ' working people ' , despite previously admitting a plan to increase employers ' NI contributions was ' the worst possible tax rise at the worst possible time ' and would affect employees ' pay packets . Employers currently pay 13.8 per cent on earnings above ? 175 a week , or ? 9,100 a year , under Class @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aside for HMRC before wages are paid out . The employment allowance allows eligible businesses to reduce their NI liability by up to ? 5,000 a year , which takes many small firms out of paying employer NI contributions altogether . A one percentage point increase in the Class 1 rate could raise ? 8.45billion over the 2025 to 2026 tax year , and a two percentage point hike could raise ? 16.9billion , according to data compiled by HMRC and EY . This would go some way to closing the ? 22billion ' black hole ' which Ms Reeves said had been inherited by the previous Conservative government , and to help fund spending promises . There has also been speculation that the government was considering introducing NI on employer pension contributions as a way of raising additional revenue . The IFS calculated that this could raise around ? 17billion per year if taxed at the same 13.8 per cent rate . Ms Caldwell said the effects of an increase are ' more far-reaching than immediately obvious ' . Suzanne Caldwell ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the rate does rise , and/or is extended to pension contributions , this will clearly affect the cost to employers significantly . " Each employer will then need to decide how they deal with that , depending on their own circumstances and affordability constraints , and remember many are working on tight margins already , and a move on employers ' NI takes no account of that employers ' ability to pay , " she said . She added that a rise would n't affect workers ' pay packets directly short term , but there are ' indirect and longer-term effects ' , such as employers ' understandably ' having to take the cost into account when considering future pay awards . a consideration on whether to take on more staff , replace leavers , or let people go , making decisions on working hours , putting up prices , and then ultimately , an impact on inflation which then influences interest rate decisions which affect ' the real value of pay ' . Ms Caldwell said : " As if that were n't enough , additional @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and so on future growth , productivity and profitability -- which affects both the taxes they pay to support public services and the money they have available to pay staff .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks a VP2[-ing] predicate and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'out of' in a different context, indicating exclusion from a role or position rather than causing someone to move out of or preventing someone from an action.

Erik ten Hag insists he did not require any assurances about his position at Manchester United and " fairy tales " were written about his position . Ten Hag will take charge of United for the 126th time against Brentford in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Saturday amid ongoing uncertainty over his position . United earmarked Thomas Tuchel as Ten Hag 's replacement before the Football Association accelerated their plans to install him as the new England coach . Former England manager Gareth Southgate has also effectively ruled himself out of replacing Ten Hag as he intends to take a year out . Figures at United refused to clarify Ten Hag 's position during the October internationals but Ten Hag , who entered the room chirpily and told journalists " I missed you all so much " , suggested it was not necessary . " No , " Ten Hag replied when asked if he had received assurances . " The noise is only coming from the media , from you guys . From some of you , not all of you , but some of you . Bringing up stories , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bringing lies . " Because I know we are all on one page in this club . I told this before the break , I told several journalists , they did n't believe me . I see the reports , but internal in the club it 's quiet . " Of course , we are discussing the position where we are , that we are unhappy in the position where we are and we have to turn the corner , what has to happen with a strategy to turn this corner . " But ultimately we are quiet , we are composed , we stay where we are , we stick to the plan and we are very convinced we will make it a success . " United are 14th in the Premier League table with a -3 goal difference after seven games . Only Southampton have scored fewer goals than United . " We have to climb a mountain , that 's top football and sometimes you have to face challenges . Sometimes it goes up , sometimes it goes down but I am @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the last two seasons . " I think we are in a direction , underneath I see good things , I see good patterns , I see also good stats that confirm we are in a good direction but the ranking is not lying . We are where we are and it is not good enough . " I think the players do well , we won last season . Maybe you forgot and when we face problems sometimes we have to line up teams that were not in the right balance because the players were not available . " But , in general , the players do perform well and you see now we have to start scoring and that part is the most important part in football . If you want to win games you have to score goals . That part we have to improve .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'ruled himself out of coaching' involves a reflexive pronoun and an NP complement 'coaching in the next year', but it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the construction. Instead, it simply indicates that Gareth Southgate has decided not to engage in coaching in the next year.

Erik ten Hag admits the decision to revoke Sir Alex Ferguson 's ambassadorial role at Manchester United has had an impact on the club . Ferguson , 82 , will step down as an ambassador at the end of the season after 12 years , having raked in more than ? 25million from the status after he was manager for 26-and-a-half years . United legend Eric Cantona described the power brokers behind the decision to revoke Ferguson 's privilege as " a bag of s**t " . Ten Hag stressed Ferguson 's significance but also acknowledged the cost-cutting measure was in the club 's interests . " Of course it has an impact on us , " Ten Hag said . " Sir Alex , of course , IS Man United , he built United to where the club it is now and it impacts us . " But on the other side , we know and Sir Alex knows , that is what he wants . He wants to see a winning Manchester United and I 'm sure he 's always available for every advice and we will need him , definitely , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two-and-a-half years I am here .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not give rise to either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to be about maximizing the benefits of using something, which is unrelated to the transitive out of -ing construction.

Chasca is a 5-Star Anemo character who is likely being added to Genshin Impact during version 5.2 . While Chasca should feature as a boosted 5-Star character on her Banner in version 5.2 , she will eventually return to Genshin Impact at some point in the future when the Banner schedule cycles back to her . If you want to prepare for her , we 've listed reliable leaks of Chasca 's Ascension materials and Talent materials so you can level her up to her full potential right away .

Passive two : Bullet Trick - When her Elemental Skill 's Multitarget Fire is used , if the party has one/two/three types of Pyro , Hydro , Cryo , or Electro characters , then there is a 33%/67%/100% chance to trigger ' Spiritbinding Conversion ' , causing the third Shadowhunt Shell loaded into the cylinder to be converted into a Shining Shadowhunt Shell of the corresponding Elemental Type . Passive three : Intent to Cover - When a nearby party member triggers a Nightsoul Burst , Chasca will fire a ' Burning Shadowhunt Shot ' at a nearby opponent , dealing Nightsoul-aligned Anemo Damage equal to 150% of the Shadowhunt Shell Damage from her Elemental Skill . If the party has Pyro , Hydro , Cryo , or Electro characters , the Burning Shadowhunt Shot will be converted to deal Nightsoul-aligned Elemental Damage of the corresponding Elemental Type , equivalent to 150% of the damage dealt by her Skill 's Shining Shadowhunt Shells .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'take the hassle out of moving banks' involves an NP ('the hassle') as a complement of the complex preposition 'out of', and 'moving banks' is an NP where 'moving' modifies 'banks'. This does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, nor does it involve a causee participating in the event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate.

It all starts with a flirty message . I do n't care who he is or what he looks like -- all that matters to me is that he is not single . ' Wow , ' I type . ' You look like someone I 'd want to have a drink with ... ' The response comes back within minutes . ' Let 's go ! Are you local ? ' After exchanging just three messages , this handsome stranger -- who I know is engaged to another woman -- asks me to send him nude photos . Result . Men are just so predictable . How do I sleep at night ? Well , it 's easy . Because I 'm not the proverbial ' homewrecker ' getting a kick out of seducing married men . I do n't want them to succumb to temptation . But seduction is the nature of my business -- and I work in tandem with these men @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and girlfriends to test their partners ' loyalty I 'm a professional loyalty tester -- also known as a honeytrap -- which means women pay me to see if their partners would stray , given the opportunity . Usually , they 're already pretty certain their men are playing away , but just want solid proof . Tell me a little about your partner , direct me towards his social media accounts and I 'll pounce . I 'll send flirty texts , voice notes and even sexually inviting pictures to see if he can be tempted . My prices start from ? 50 for an Instagram or Facebook message exchange . Some days I help one client , some days I help ten . I receive huge amounts of messages every day from women aged between 24 and 55 , and I only accept clients I truly believe I can help . Supporting women , so that they can find better , morally sound partners , is my primary motivation . In the case above , this man 's fiancee was three months ' pregnant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but was concerned that his behaviour was n't adding up . His public Instagram profile had plenty of pictures of him shirtless on boats and in the gym , but no sign of her . Sadly , her worries proved founded . It 's depressing how quickly most men give in to temptation . In the three years I 've been doing this , the longest a job has ever taken me was a couple of weeks -- but , usually , I 've got them over a barrel within the hour . Unfortunately , my statistics show that over 80 per cent of the men I 'm asked to honeytrap will fail my test . My client 's wishes lead me entirely . If a man is n't responding after multiple attempts to contact him , I 'll let her know and give her two options . Either we consider him a ' pass ' and I block him ; or we ' ice ' him out . This means I 'll stop contacting him , but I wo n't unfollow him . There have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after weeks , even months , and try to spark up conversation . Going back to my client with proof is an emotionally confusing time . Even though they know in their heart of hearts that their partner is cheating , often they 're willing themselves to be wrong , so the pain cuts deep . I know exactly how they feel . I 've been cheated on myself in the past , which helps with my work . I know just how emotionally manipulative cheaters can be . But in my experience , if you feel like something is n't right , then it is n't . Her ' honey trap ' methods cost ? 50 for a social media conversation As I explain below , there are always signs that something is amiss -- if you know what to look for . Being the one to confirm their worst fears is a terrible burden , but I like to think of myself as an advocate for women . So how did I get into this line of work ? I 've always @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ provided my ' services ' to a few friends to test out their new boyfriends . Word got out , and eventually , when I was 27 , my fiance suggested I start making TikTok videos about it . At first I struggled to believe anyone would care , but soon women were messaging me offering me money to make their boyfriends cheat . Try explaining that new job to your parents . At first , I hated my work . I could n't believe the depths of deceit to which people would sink . One of my clients was going through cancer treatment when I successfully ' trapped ' her boyfriend . I 've lost count of the number of pregnant women I 've heard from . For a while , I totally lost faith in humanity . I would go to my fiance in tears , despairing over the awful sagas I saw . I did n't feel guilty at my role in it as such -- after all , the men were the ones to blame -- but it was terrible seeing people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ least my clients now knew what had been going on behind their back . They had regained some power , which is one of the most important things about my work . And it sparked some really healthy discussions with my fiance that has made us stronger . He 's my partner in this business , as well as romantically . We analyse these women 's stories together , which in turn helps us to understand each other better . So , what have I learnt from the thousands of cheaters I have exposed ? Here are some top signs to look out for that may reveal your man could be cheating . When you 're out for dinner , or just on the sofa watching TV , does your man leave his phone face up or face down ? It may seem trivial , but ask yourself -- what could possibly flash up that he does n't want anyone to see ? I think it 's rubbish when people say phones should be private . You can be anyone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would know ) , and you should recognise that your partner may feel insecure about your online activities . If you 've got nothing to hide , why should you care ? It meant a lot to me that my fiance was comfortable sharing his passcode . Obviously , a man ca n't control if a woman messages him , but he can control his reaction . Take one of my ' failed ' experiments . A client asked me to test her husband , and he politely informed me he was happily married . When I shared the happy news with her , she said he had already showed her the conversation . Guys , it 's that simple : transparency , always . With my pregnant client , it was an immediate red flag that there were no pictures of her on his Instagram profile . Even if he claims he never posts on social media , you should at least feature in his profile photo . Your partner should be proud to show you off ; if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . There is no good reason why any man past school age should have Snapchat on his phone . Snapchat -- with the USP that it deletes messages after they 've been viewed -- is an app for cheaters . I 've only ever known adult men use it to send and receive explicit photographs . Whatever his explanation , if he 's a regular Snapper , be very wary . Nowadays , it 's normal to have your loved ones on location-sharing apps . One of the red flags I often hear is : ' My husband 's location always seems to turn off with no explanation . ' Cheaters will come up with some excuse as to why they do n't want to share their location , but then insist that their girlfriend shares theirs . Which leads me to my next red flag ... Cheaters are jealous people with fragile egos . That 's almost always why they cheat : the validation of one woman 's love is never enough for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expects them to have unrealistic boundaries with men : cutting off male friends , even not speaking to male colleagues . Meanwhile , he 's posting pictures of himself with bikini-clad stunners who are ' just friends ' . From her experience exposing thousands of cheaters online , Madeline says tell-tale signs of an unfaithful lover include using Snapchat and refusing to ' share ' his location on your phone Does your partner call you ' crazy ' , or claim you 're ' just being insecure ' if you raise concerns ? Does he accuse you of being unfaithful for no obvious reason ? Not only is this gaslighting behaviour designed to be humiliating , it is also highly revealing . The chances are he 's projecting his own guilt on to you . In a loving relationship , the response to concerns being raised should be shock and gentle affirmation . Think ' Oh my gosh , I would never do that to you ' -- not ' Are you crazy ? I ca n't deal with your insecurity right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more emotionally intelligent than men , but we 're also masters of convincing ourselves that strange behaviour must have an innocent explanation , when every bone is our body is screaming otherwise . Trust your gut . Almost all of the messages I receive are from women saying that something just does n't feel right and , sadly , they 're usually right . If in doubt , call him out -- or engage the services of someone like me ! Does your partner seem disengaged during conversations ? Have his compliments stopped ? Did he use to touch you a lot , and no longer does ? This kind of emotional distancing is one of the biggest red flags . |

In a statement , read in the court on October 17 , Ms Price 's lawyer , Jess Alden of Slateford , said the claim was in relation to the publication of private and false private information in two articles , published in February 2024 . The claim arose out of reporting of Ms Price 's relationship with Mohsin Issa , who founded the EG Group alongside his brother Zuber . The articles were said to contain " private and intrusive details " including information about her " relationships and religious beliefs " Ms Alden told the court : " As a result of pressure and speculation from a range of media organisations , Ms Price was forced to confirm her relationship with Mr Issa in early February 2024 . However , in doing so , they requested through their solicitors that the media refrain from intruding into their private lives . " Unfortunately , despite this request , two articles were published by the defendant in February 2024 which contained some private and intrusive details , and some false private information about Ms Price 's personal life , as well as her relationships and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Price said : " Today 's statement in open court makes clear that I will not tolerate unwarranted invasions of my privacy or false reporting and I am pleased that it concludes this awful chapter . " I 'm massively thankful for the swell of support that I received from friends , colleagues and strangers , but most of all I am grateful to my family for their steadfast love throughout what was a pretty horrific time . It has made us stronger . " She is donating the damages and a portion of her legal costs paid by Associated Newspapers to charity . Following the settlement , Slateford founder Chris Scott said : " We 're pleased to see this matter brought to a swift and successful conclusion after an incredibly stressful time for Victoria and Mohsin . " No-one should tolerate this kind of reporting intrusively targeting successful people 's private lives , and it 's only by someone like Victoria taking a stand against it that deterrence is created to protect everyone else 's freedoms .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It involves a transitive verb 'gets' with an NP object 'a special kick', but it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of meeting the word count exactly' does not function as a VP2[-ing] predicate with the NP object as a causee.

When you purchase through links on our site , we may earn an affiliate commission . Here 's how it works . ( Image credit : GSC Game World ) No record exists of the Stalker preview I first read in a copy of PC Gamer magazine over 20 years ago . So I 'll tell it to you like a tall tale from the exclusion zone , shared over a bottle of vodka . They say there 's a shooter where no mission plays the same way twice . Where , on the first try , you might battle a gang of bandits in an old factory for ownership of an artifact . And on the second , you might arrive to find those same bandits already dead , mauled to death by a pack of mutated dogs . The stories of Stalker : Shadow of Chornobyl 's earliest builds all have this unpredictable quality . They describe an ' A-life ' system which enabled NPC stalkers to pick @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on their own steam , trading with neutral parties and fighting the enemies they encountered . This activity occurred regardless of where the player was , or what they were doing . In fact , in 2004 , GSC Game World was telling journalists that AI stalkers could actually beat you to the best of the game 's eight endings , uncovering the mystery of the Zone for themselves . It 's hard to overstate how anomalous and glowing an artifact Stalker was at that time . The open-world FPS simply did not exist - although the wide outdoor levels of Crytek 's South Pacific sandbox , Far Cry , made clear it was coming . The way designers would navigate that new scale was still to be determined , and Stalker suggested the genre would become newly dynamic . The shooters of the ' 90s had made us the heroes of largely predetermined adventures . But in the Zone , we were just another body that was just a little too warm for the corpse-truck . And if we did n't seize the opportunities awaiting in Chornobyl 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Finders keepers It 's been 17 years since Shadow of Chornobyl launched , so check out our Stalker 2 hands-on preview to see how The Zone is faring today Another Ukrainian developer got there first . In 2005 , Deep Shadows put out Boiling Point : Road to Hell , which plonked the player down in a South American valley and asked them to find their missing daughter . There were no predefined enemies in Boiling Point -- yet information did n't come for free , and buying it often meant breaking into the base of one faction at the behest of another . Unfortunately , Boiling Point 's early arrival was to its detriment . One of the most notoriously buggy releases of all time , it boasted flying jaguars and pedestrians who glued themselves to your car if you left it parked in town -- instantly dying when you set off , and damaging your local reputation . Stalker , meanwhile , had entered development hell . GSC 's grand plans were butting up against the hard reality of implementation . The game 's publisher @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to wrangle Stalker towards release . The team scrapped vehicles , ditched zombies , and simplified the AI it had been publicly showing off for years . For his efforts , Sharpe received death threats from the game 's nascent community -- but evidently was n't put off Ukraine for good . Today , he 's CEO of Metro developer 4A Games . It 's testament to how far Stalker was ahead of its time that , even after four years of delay and heavy compromise , it still played a little like the future . " Despite the epic wait and despite the amount of scissoring that 's obviously gone on , " Will Porter wrote in GamesRadar+ 's review , " we 've still ended up with an excellent shooter . " Its much-vaunted innovations were soon normalized , however . The year after Stalker 's launch in 2007 , Far Cry 2 arrived , bringing triple-A polish to the concept of the freeform shooter and establishing Ubisoft 's formula for open world design . What GSC had posited in those early days was the idea @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were n't necessarily scripted beforehand , but erupted organically from the interplay of the game 's systems . By Far Cry 4 , Ubi had tuned the dials such that emergent events happened once every few minutes - interrupting missions and exploration on a regular basis .

" It was at its best when you made a plan , and your plan went horribly wrong , " said Far Cry 4 director Alex Hutchinson in the cover feature of this month 's Edge . " You would be throwing a molotov at an enemy and accidentally hit a bear instead , and then a burning bear would kill your friend . " It 's a philosophy he 's now applying to his new game , Revenge of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is making a plan , the plan failing , but you not dying and getting through . It 's gon na be funny and chaotic . " ( Image credit : GSC Game World ) In other words , the high concepts promised in Stalker 's previews have now been disseminated and finessed to the point where they 're no longer remarkable . To the point where a game like Far Cry 6 , which would have blown the radiation-soaked socks off Stalker disciples and Boiling Point apologists in the mid noughties , could be dismissed in some quarters as rote and expected . Although its unscripted magic still wowed GamesRadar+ 's Rachel Weber . " The first four or so hours of the game were a baffling thrillride , " she wrote . " It seemed no matter what I did every mission descended into an all-out brawl , with stealth attempts scuppered by mongoose attacks , enemy tank patrols popping up with alarming regularity , and in a weird bit of emergent narrative , I saw more NPC horses and dogs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In truth , Far Cry 6 dialed back the chaos from previous entries , allowing you to sheathe your weapons and walk unnoticed past enemy patrols as your guerilla blended among civilians . And perhaps that slight shift towards quiet unease indicates there 's still a place for Stalker 2 in the open-world shooter ecosystem . In perfecting the precise cadence required to keep players giggling with flaming bears , Ubisoft has in fact made emergence predictable . In 2024 , it takes a more uneven game to really surprise the spoiled masses . And if Stalker 2 is bound to be anything , it 's uneven . In retrospect , one of the defining traits of Stalker is its friction . Now that Ubisoft has long since smoothed out the jamming guns and malaria outbreaks that characterized early Far Cry , there 's plenty of room for a genremate that grates and punishes in just the right ways . If Fallout can keep selling us Americana , and Atomfall taps into British folk horror , then the world ought to get to play in the Ukrainian post-apocalypse @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quite as disruptive as they once sounded .

Earlier this year Matt Walsh , in collaboration with The Daily Wire , produced the film , Am I racist ? It came two years after his film , What is a woman ? Money for old rope , you might imagine from the titles , but the times in which we live wo n't accept old rope , they want invisible cord weaved together by unicorns , masquerading as old rope -- which is harder to come by . Be under no illusion ( if that 's still possible ) , Walsh earned his money . There was a time , not so long ago , when you could tell if someone was racist by their attitude and behaviour towards those of a race different to their own , but that became too difficult to spot as we all became more stupid . So instead of forming our kids in faith and repairing a sub-optimal education system , new ways of spotting a racist had to be implemented . One foolproof method adopted by a number of schools this October @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that it 's not enough not to be racist , we have to be " anti-racist " . How do we prove that we are " anti-racist " ? Easy ! Wear red . With this simple trick , we no longer need to think critically , dialogue closely , speak the truth and love sacrificially , we can simply update our wardrobe with high-priced , low-quality merchandise from anti-racist charities . We send our children off to school in their red t-shirts and jumpers , watching as they gather into their self-segregated groups , listening as the red-clothed kids shout racial slurs to one another , and glancing at the poor kid in the white t-shirt get a kicking that will turn his t-shirt red , we can relax and know who the racists are by the clothes they wear . This reluctance to deal with the complex realities of life , choosing instead to make a gimmick out of everything , is turning our brains to mush . While travelling from Dublin to London with Ryanair recently ( other low budget fully woke airlines @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Having arrived early at the airport I tried to check in via machine . I was told that check-in had not yet opened for my flight . Standing 12ft away from me was a tall black man in a bright yellow jumper emblazoned with blue writing informing me that he was there to help . Taking his jumper seriously I approached and asked him when check-in would open for my flight . He stared at me for longer than I was comfortable without speaking . I asked again in case he had n't heard me . After another six-second stare , he pointed across the room at a white woman wearing cabin crew uniform . I explained to her that the tall man wearing a bright yellow jumper offering help had been unable to help me . She said : " He ca n't speak English " . I then asked whether it might not be better to save the " I 'm here to help " jumpers for those who can speak English , which he may be able to do at some point @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ca n't discriminate against somebody who is black , " she said . " But you can and must discriminate based on competency in the workforce , " I suggested . " That 's that I , who was not racist in the 70s , 80s , 90s , 2000s and 2010s am now racist in the 2020s . On returning home I relayed the story to a friend whose husband runs a large company and conducts final interviews for those put forward at previous stages . She explained how he had to terminate an interview because the candidate put before him was woefully unable for the job he had applied for , a job which if done badly would cost lives . But the candidate was black , and he now faces inevitable accusations of racism . I suggested he get himself a red t-shirt quick smart . The solution to our failure of love lies in a Christocentric theology which allows us to see Christ in others . This is what we should be teaching @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ offers a true antidote to the poison of hatred , supremacy , envy and pride -- all the things that see men turn against one another . The seed of racism , as with every other sin , was planted in Eden where man turns from his creator and division occurs -- Man separated from God , man from woman and body from soul . Healing happens not by wearing red jumpers and arbitrarily giving people jobs based on race ( thus placing them in a horrible and difficult situation ) but by recognising the face of Christ in the other . Perhaps if our schools did more of that , we would n't need gimmicks which only serve to mask the problems . In our dying culture now bleeding out , reaching for sticking plasters to patch a gaping wound will not work . We need the divine physician , not one appointed to fill the latest quota . |

We Brits do have a fondness for the seaside , and Blackpool has been a popular choice for family generations . However , the unpredictable British weather can sometimes make beach visits impossible , and there 's a limit to how much change you can feed into those irresistible 2p machines ( trust me , my kids have tested this ) . Thankfully , leisure behemoth Merlin has devised a plethora of activities to fill a few days . The amusement park conglomerate boasts several weather-proof attractions in the town , such as the Sea Life Centre , Madame Tussauds and , for those not afraid of heights , the towering Blackpool Tower . There 's a pleasant variety of things to do for children eager to run around on the promenade , there 's Peter Rabbit : Explore and Play and the Gruffalo and Friends Clubhouse . For all ages , the Sea Life Centre is always a hit while Madame Tussauds was thoroughly enjoyable ( although I was slightly let down that the waxworks were so well done , with the exception of a horrifying Alan Carr , and so identifiable ! @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ jokes were cheesy , seemingly penned in the mid-90s , but my seven year old girls were left utterly astounded by the amazing trapeze artists , contortionists and stunt performers from across the globe . We only managed about five minutes in the genuinely eerie Tower Dungeons , so it 's likely not suitable for most young ones . For those seeking a thrill , the Tower and its Skywalk offer a heart-stopping experience . Perched 380ft high , this glass-bottomed viewing platform provides panoramic views across the Irish Sea and what feels like an endless drop below . While my children were enamoured with it , I kept a respectful distance from the glass floor , preferring to miss out on the apparently spectacular views due to my closed eyes . The iconic Blackpool skyline ( Image : Getty Images ) The Pick ' n ' Mix Pass is a savvy option for visitors looking to maximise their experience . With prices starting at ? 35 per person for a single day or ? 45 for a two-day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ explore ( though booking entry times online can save you some queasy moments in queues ) . Our accommodation was the newly opened Holiday Inn Blackpool , which stands out with its fresh and inviting appearance , contrasting with some of the town 's more timeworn areas . The rooms provided comfort and ample space , complemented by an excellent self-service breakfast in the Marco Pierre White-branded " New York Italian " restaurant . Situated in an enviable location , the hotel is a mere five-minute walk from the iconic promenade , yet distant enough from the lively nightlife to guarantee a peaceful night 's rest for families . For those opting out of driving , Blackpool North train station is conveniently located right by the hotel , offering a stress-free alternative to navigating the M6 . For transportation , the tram stop is conveniently located just outside . However , all of Merlin 's attractions are situated between the North and Central piers on the promenade , making them easily accessible by foot . But that 's part of its allure , especially for holidaying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from an ice cream cone , a serving of fish and chips , or spots to offload your spare 2p coins . While you 're queuing for a Mr Whippy or some chips , you 're literally standing atop the names of British entertainment legends . The Comedy Carpet on the beachfront pays tribute to the old-school greats who drew your grandparents to Blackpool . Icons like Laurel and Hardy , Morecambe and Wise ... even Cannon and Ball ( who are also fantastic as an underappreciated variety act -- give them a watch on YouTube ! ) . Of course , there are the iconic piers and a surprisingly pristine sandy beach . From September onwards , the town is aglow with the renowned Illuminations . But visiting Blackpool is always a brilliant idea , no matter when you decide to go . |

Halloween is nearly upon us , and for those planning a spooky party to mark the occasion thoughts will be turning towards what to serve your guests . A buffet is always the easier route to go , taking the fear out of having to sit down and plan a menu . The shops have been filled for a few weeks now with bags of sweets and chocolate to hand out to trick or treaters when they come knocking at your door . But there 's also been sweeter treats , namely cakes , which you can happily serve up on a creepy paper plate to your party guests . From bespoke cakes made especially for the spooky season , to traditional favourites given a Halloween makeover none would look out of place at a eerily good party . With so many options available , we decided to taste test a few supermarket bought cakes to see which are worth spending your money on . Edward Barnes : The bat looked cute and the chocolate and icing had a nice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ funny aftertaste. 2.5/5 Gary Stewart : I had one of the eyeballs . It had a nice infected look thanks to the oozing jam leaking out from behind the iris which actually lifted the whole flavour with its sweetness and there was pleasingly crunchy sensation as I bit through the pupil as opposed to the softness of the rest of the cake . It 's only a mouthful but would recommend . 5/5 Ryan Paton : The perfect Halloween treat is a fine balancing act of creating a spooky aesthetic while delivering on the tasty flavour . The eyeball cupcake was the perfect blend of the two with it 's decorative topping being the ideal way to get in the spirit of the scary season . The cupcake was wonderfully moist and dangerously moreish. 4/5 Alice Walker : I loved the details on this treat , from the fact that Colin was baring his scary teeth , to the fact that the insides were a creepy red colour . The miniature bones on top were a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but I think that Colin 's face had to be the exception . A delicious cake makes up his innards , so it ended up being not scary at all and , in fact , really delicious ! I do n't think I could eat more than one in a sitting , as it is quite rich in flavour , but I ca n't fault it as a sweet snack ! If children are getting these in trick or treat then it is a treat indeed ! ! ! 5/5 Kate McMullin : Though only small , the Halloween Colin Caterpillar did not disappoint . It was packed with flavour with every bite . The white chocolate caterpillar face was thick and the quality of the chocolate was really good . I did think the inside of the cake , which had a red filling , would be jam or something similar , however it was a red buttercream , which actually complimented the chocolate very well . 4/5 Cheryl Mullin : Having been a bit disappointed with M&S 's festive version of the mini-roll Colin 's last @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' along the spine would be the same hard candy as the Christmas sprinkles . However , I could n't have been more wrong . They were a creamy , white chocolate that enhanced the flavour of the milk chocolate coating . The red buttercream was a nice touch , and as ever , I kept Colin 's face until the very end - a delicious - if slightly sickly - chocolatey treat . 4/5 Ryan Paton : This seasonal twist on the classic treat definitely delivers on the spooky aesthetic needed from a Halloween sweet . However , the thick chocolate was slightly too sweet for my liking and made me feel slightly sick afterwards . More trick than treat . 2/5 Liam Thorp : These fiendish fancies very much lived up to their name for this dieting reporter . I 've been trying my level best to avoid the seemingly never-ending supply of snacks that make their way into our office . I was doing ok until I laid my eyes on these fiendish snacks .

However , I 'm not sure how fiendish this fancy really was . The cake was decorated in an orange and black but that was the extent of the scary aesthetic . 3/5 Terrifying Toffee Whirls for a spooky , sweet treat Cheryl Mullin : Now an annual variation on the Mr @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ filling for toffee . As you 'd expect , the biscuit was buttery , the cream thick and flavourful and the toffee sauce was not overpowering . In my head though , these feel like they should be more of a Bonfire night treat than Halloween , but that 's just me being picky. 4/5 Daniel Haygarth : Not very spooky and not as good as a regular Viennese Whirl , the toffee variety was perfectly fine . The toffee filling does n't work as well in tandem with the cream as the normal jam does , but the pastry on either side remains excellent . Frankly , I think Mr Kipling needs to find a way to make this snack scarier , maybe turning it an orange colour and going for a pumpkin approach . It 's fine but no more . 3/5 . Cadbury cake bars get some creepy new packaging Cheryl Mullin : Of all the Halloween snacks I tried , this was my least favourite . Yes , the Mr Kipling treats are a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the flavour and quality you 'd expect . These Goo Heads were just disappointing . The sponge was nice , the chocolate what you 'd expect from a Cadbury 's product but the filling was tasteless and none descript. 1/5 Story Saved You can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right . |

In my head though , these feel like they should be more of a Bonfire night treat than Halloween , but that 's just me being picky. 4/5 Daniel Haygarth : Not very spooky and not as good as a regular Viennese Whirl , the toffee variety was perfectly fine . The toffee filling does n't work as well in tandem with the cream as the normal jam does , but the pastry on either side remains excellent . Frankly , I think Mr Kipling needs to find a way to make this snack scarier , maybe turning it an orange colour and going for a pumpkin approach . It 's fine but no more . 3/5 .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'crashed out of qualifying', where 'qualifying' is a noun rather than a VP[-ing] predicate, and there is no NP object involved in the construction. Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

AUSTIN , TEXAS - OCTOBER 19 : Lando Norris of Great Britain and McLaren gives the thumbs up in parc ferme after claiming pole position during the Sprint/qualifying ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of United States at Circuit of The Americas on October 19 , 2024 in Austin , United States . ( Photo by Kym Illman/Getty Images ) ( Image : Getty Images ) Never miss Somerset 's latest and breaking news again by signing up to our Daily Newsletter Lando Norris hailed the best lap of his life after he saw off rival Max Verstappen to take pole position for the United States Grand Prix and keep his championship dream alive . Verstappen claimed his first win in nearly four months when he led every lap of the sprint race at Austin 's Circuit of the Americas earlier on Saturday to extend his title advantage from 52 to 54 points . Norris finished third -- after he was passed by Ferrari 's Carlos Sainz on the final lap -- but he bounced back in qualifying to take the top spot , beating Verstappen by just 0.031 seconds . Norris set @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ then lucked-in when George Russell crashed out in his Mercedes at the penultimate corner . At the time , Verstappen looked set to beat Norris ' lap , but all the drivers were forced to back off with Russell in the barriers following his high-speed shunt . That allowed Norris to take what could prove a pivotal pole -- his fourth from his last five outings -- with Verstappen joining him on the front row for Sunday 's race . " It was a beautiful lap , " said Norris . " I can quite comfortably say it was the best of my career . " I told the team I had set the bar too high because I knew I would not be able to improve with my second lap . " I got everything out of the car . I knew I had to risk more and give it that little bit extra . It was not a lap I could have repeated . " But it 's what we needed to do . Quite simple . We have been on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had the pace of the Ferraris or Red Bulls , but this is box number one ticked . It will be a tough race but we are in a good position . " The same can not be said for Lewis Hamilton . The Mercedes man has won a record five times in Austin , and he was expected to be among the contenders for pole . But Hamilton endured a horror show that left him in 19th . It marked the first time since he crashed out of qualifying in Brazil in 2017 that Hamilton has qualified so far back . " What has happened to this car , man , " said the seven-time world champion over the radio after he finished six tenths behind Russell in the other Mercedes . Russell , who progressed to Q3 and , despite his late crash , finished sixth , has now out-qualified Hamilton at 14 of the 19 events so far . Hamilton will be bumped up one place to 18th with Liam Lawson sent to the back for taking on a number of new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shock result on a suspension failure he sustained in the earlier sprint race . " In the sprint we had some sort of failure from the formation lap on the front suspension , " said Hamilton , who started seventh and improved by one position in the shortened race . " I had that throughout the sprint , and that made the balance really difficult . " The car was a nightmare in qualifying . I should probably start in the pit lane , otherwise I wo n't be going anywhere from where I am .

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('she') + V1 ('allow') + NP object ('him') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('answering her questions'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, as the subject is preventing the object from not answering her questions. The verb 'allow' can be categorized under means of exerting force or pressure, fitting one of the verb classifications for this construction. Additionally, the NP object 'him' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, and the construction allows for atypical NP objects like the possessive pronoun in 'his way' which is coreferential with the subject.

The new owner of Hotter Shoes is bringing production back from India to take the number it makes at its British factory each year to one million pairs and restore its claim to be Britain 's biggest shoemaker . Mike Lester , chief executive of WoolOvers , which acquired Hotter from administrators last summer for ? 6.7 million , said he had reversed a planned " phasing out " of manufacturing at its factory in Skelmersdale , Lancashire .

THE NEC Group has released its latest financial accounts - after it was announced it had exited Bradford Live . Just over a month ago , on September 19 , it emerged the Birmingham-based company had pulled out of running the multi-million pound venue . According to the new accounts - for the year ended March 31 , 2024 - the NEC Group is continuing to feel the effects of the coronavirus pandemic , as well as the cost of living crisis and increases in interest rates , as it tackles a debt pile of more than ? 420 million . But the company 's directors are said to be confident about the future . The accounts said : " The group operates in the exhibition , events and hospitality sectors , which was one of the most adversely impacted by Covid-19 . " During the pandemic the group 's various trading sites were closed for business from March 2020 and they remained closed until September 2021 when the final lockdown restrictions were lifted . " As a direct result of Covid-19 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to servicing its borrowing costs , while its customers and the industry sectors in which they operate have also been adversely impacted , resulting in a reduced level of EBITDA ( short for short for earnings before interest , taxes , depreciation , amortization and exception items ) which is not expected to recover to pre-Covid-19 levels until 2025 . " The challenges this creates for the group in its recovery post-Covid-19 have been exacerbated by the current cost of living crisis and the increases in interest rates , which are significantly increasing the group 's debt servicing costs . " On that debt , the accounts explained : " On March 31 , 2024 , the group of companies to which the company belongs had external senior loan facilities that totalled ? 427.1m , comprising of principal debt of ? 420.0m and capitalised interest of ? 7.1m .

The accounts pointed out that NEC Group venues hosted the Commonwealth Games , held in Birmingham in 2022 , and the " one-off benefit " of this was reported in the company 's 2023 accounts . In 2018 , it was announced investment firm Blackstone had bought the NEC Group from LDC , the private equity arm of Lloyds Banking Group . At the end of last year , the NEC Group said it was in a more " sustainable position " following a refinancing and ? 100m cash injection from Blackstone . The latest accounts said : " Having assessed the financial position of the company and considered the wider group using the evidence available to them , the directors have confidence that the company has adequate resources to continue to operate for a period of at least 12 months from the date these financial statements were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues .

The closer we get to the UK budget next week , the more chaos that seems to consume the Labour Government in London . And that chaos is playing out in public . Because if you happened to pick up a newspaper in the past few days or caught an evening news bulletin , you 'll have watched report after report about Labour cabinet ministers briefing against their own Chancellor . Early days for infighting you might think , but it 's been there for all to see . There is one simple reason for that chaos . At long last some of the Labour Cabinet , including the Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner , have woken up to the damage that the Chancellor 's austerity agenda will cause our communities . Reports say that Rachel Reeves has demanded that departments produce a devastating plan for 20 per cent cuts , and so her cabinet colleagues were faced with a choice . Copy and paste Tory cuts and impose a new era of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is due -- at least three or four of the Cabinet have had the backbone to put up a fight -- we 'll wait and see if they follow through . You might well ask yourself though , where have the big shots in Scottish Labour been whilst this rebellion against austerity has been gathering momentum . It 's a very fair question . After all , during the general election it was Ian Murray who said that anyone warning about austerity was talking ' mince ' . And how can we forget Anas Sarwar preaching to all of us ' Read my lips - no austerity under Labour ' . But for all their big talk back then , they 're now keeping a serene but shameful silence . When rebellion raised its head , they went into hiding . People wo n't forget that when it came to the crunch in the fight against austerity -- they did n't lift a finger and did n't say a word . No amount of silence or hiding though will take away their responsibility for the economic brutality @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what we hear , the Labour Chancellor is thinking about hammering businesses with national insurance increases , hiking fuel duty which will hit pretty much everyone who owns a car , slashing the budgets for sickness and disability benefits and , of course , she is still cutting the winter fuel payment for pensioners . This is all being done in the name of filling a black hole in the finances that they somehow forgot to mention when they were running around during the summer looking for your vote . All the while the biggest black hole of all - the financial black hole that is Brexit -- is ignored . Only this week my colleague Stephen Gethins got the UK Treasury to admit that they have paid ? 24 billion to leave the EU , with billions more still owed . So , when Labour tell you they had no choice in this Budget -- do n't believe them . They could choose to stop the madness of Brexit and stop bleeding billions out of our economy .

The closer we get to the UK budget next week , the more chaos that seems to consume the Labour Government in London . And that chaos is playing out in public . Because if you happened to pick up a newspaper in the past few days or caught an evening news bulletin , you 'll have watched report after report about Labour cabinet ministers briefing against their own Chancellor . Early days for infighting you might think , but it 's been there for all to see . There is one simple reason for that chaos . At long last some of the Labour Cabinet , including the Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner , have woken up to the damage that the Chancellor 's austerity agenda will cause our communities . Reports say that Rachel Reeves has demanded that departments produce a devastating plan for 20 per cent cuts , and so her cabinet colleagues were faced with a choice . Copy and paste Tory cuts and impose a new era of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is due -- at least three or four of the Cabinet have had the backbone to put up a fight -- we 'll wait and see if they follow through . You might well ask yourself though , where have the big shots in Scottish Labour been whilst this rebellion against austerity has been gathering momentum . It 's a very fair question . After all , during the general election it was Ian Murray who said that anyone warning about austerity was talking ' mince ' . And how can we forget Anas Sarwar preaching to all of us ' Read my lips - no austerity under Labour ' . But for all their big talk back then , they 're now keeping a serene but shameful silence . When rebellion raised its head , they went into hiding . People wo n't forget that when it came to the crunch in the fight against austerity -- they did n't lift a finger and did n't say a word . No amount of silence or hiding though will take away their responsibility for the economic brutality @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what we hear , the Labour Chancellor is thinking about hammering businesses with national insurance increases , hiking fuel duty which will hit pretty much everyone who owns a car , slashing the budgets for sickness and disability benefits and , of course , she is still cutting the winter fuel payment for pensioners . This is all being done in the name of filling a black hole in the finances that they somehow forgot to mention when they were running around during the summer looking for your vote . All the while the biggest black hole of all - the financial black hole that is Brexit -- is ignored . Only this week my colleague Stephen Gethins got the UK Treasury to admit that they have paid ? 24 billion to leave the EU , with billions more still owed . So , when Labour tell you they had no choice in this Budget -- do n't believe them . They could choose to stop the madness of Brexit and stop bleeding billions out of our economy . They are choosing not to . With @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Starmer -- it does seem that ' things can only get worse ' . The Labour Party will likely pay a heavy political price for promising ' change ' but delivering austerity - but for Scotland the consequences for our economy and society will be deeply damaging .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it describes councils opting out of running bonfire night events, which involves a different use of 'out of' that does not involve a causee or the specific interpretations (movement/extraction or prevention) associated with the transitive out of -ing construction.

Coronation Street star Cait Fitton has responded to the show 's latest scenes in which her character Lauren Bolton was seen rekindling a romance with Max Turner . The pair were first an item when Lauren arrived in Weatherfield in 2022 .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not give rise to either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a general situation without involving a causer and causee relationship typical of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Middlesbrough have to solve their goalscoring issues if they are to mount a serious promotion challene this season . Michael Carrick 's men have netted just 11 Championship goals in 11 games so far this campaign , with only Swansea City , Preston North End and Plymouth Argyle scoring fewer . While the Boro defence has largely been strong , fans have seen chances go begging too often at the other end - and they have paid in terms of results . Any successful side needs regular goalscorers , but as things stand , Boro are lacking in this area . Emmanuel Latte Lath 's winner against Sheffield United last night was only his second of the season - and his first since a penalty against Swansea on the opening day . So what is Boro 's biggest problem in attack and , crucially , how does Carrick solve it ? That 's the latest question for our fan panel - here 's what they had to say . Middlesbrough 's biggest problem in attack is undoubtedly their conversion rate . As simple as it sounds , Boro are simply not putting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , given how many opportunities they 're creating . They currently sit first in the xG overall table in the Championship but are still scoring far less than expected . However , if you 've watched enough of Michael Carrick 's team this season , you do n't need data to tell you that . Boro are n't just spurning half-chances ; they 're missing good quality opportunities . Unfortunately for Boro , perhaps other than Marcus Forss , they also do n't seem to have the luxury of a Matt Crooks or Cristhian Stuani type . A less traditional goal-getter who can be relied upon . Even then , due to Forss ' injury record , he 'll be eased back into the fold , so probably is n't ready to be the answer just yet . Michael Carrick 's reluctance to use the Finn as a centre-forward would suggest he 'll be competing with Ben Doak and Isaiah Jones for a spot on the right as well . Like a large part of the problem , it feels like the resolution may well come down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a much better team when Riley McGree plays , and the creative burden would undoubtedly lessen on Finn Azaz if both were used together . Tommy Conway is also now available again , and despite being available for fewer games than most of Boro 's attackers , he 's the joint top scorer , so you 'd like to think that will help . After all , Carrick ca n't physically put the ball in the back of the net , but what he can do is make correct team selections to try and make sure when a chance does come , the right players are on the pitch to take it . Middlesbrough 's biggest problem , quite simply , is that we 're all bark and no bite . That could be aided by getting more goalscorers on the pitch at once - notably Emmanuel Latte Lath , Tommy Conway and Marcus Forss . I also feel that we 're missing the input of a genuine goalscoring midfielder - someone like Matt Crooks - who you always know has a goal in their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can just about get ourselves into shooting positions but we lack the quality to really punish our opponents . We often struggle to fully break down our opponents and while our shot count is often high , I never come away from games ruing a number of clear-cut chances that we 've missed - instead , I 'm often scratching my head as I try to recall any memorable shots that we had at all . Too often I feel that our attacking play lacks urgency . It feels that we move into third gear but are too reluctant to really go for the jugular and take a risk in the final third . Instead we do the sensible thing which is often too easy to defend against . It sort of reminds me of the old Arsenal soundbite made famous on ' The IT Crowd ' - " The problem with Arsenal is that they always try and walk it in ! " Our attacking players do a decent job of creating chances , however I feel like we need more of an offensive contribution from LB @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ then we will create bigger spaces for Finn Azaz and Emmanuel Latte Lath to operate in . Latte Lath in particular often appears suffocated for space which means that he 's limited to trying to snatch chances with a split-second 's notice . Our plan A is fine . We 've had relative success playing Michael Carrick 's way during his time at the club and the fact that our xG is so high shows that it is effective to a point . I just feel that we need to work on our plan B. That includes going a little bit more direct when chasing a goal , offering players a little bit more creative licence to take a risk or show some individual flair to create something out of nothing or to give the opponents something different to think about . So far this season we 've simply been too easy to defend against and that needs to change quickly if we 're to get our promotion push back on track . The problem that Middlesbrough find themselves in is something we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forward line where you could trust each and every one of them to find the net if required . This makes the current lack of cutting edge in front of goal even more of a conundrum but the question firstly would be who do you put in if you are to take Latte Lath out of the firing line as he looks so desperately short of confidence and could do with time out of the limelight . One thing for certain is whatever decision Carrick comes to , whether to stick or twist , it needs to come very soon as the ingredients are there to make something very special this season , but it has to happen ASAP ! It 's a complicated topic . Whenever I watch Boro , I feel like our tempo is incredibly poor and plays into how easy it seems to defend our possession play . Our decision making in-game is also an issue . Ultimately , that is more on the players than the manager - so the solution to the problem lies with the players as much as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , though , is bring a bit of difference to his side 's approach . Every team in the Championship knows broadly what Boro 's game plan is going to be . At the moment we 're a hindering shade of predictable because we are also ineffective -- so mix it up a bit . For example , going a bit more direct at times during games may actually help Boro . It would quicken the transition from defence to attack and it may work with pace in behind from the likes of Emmanuel Latte Lath , Ben Doak , or even Isaiah Jones if he comes on . It may go against Carrick 's core principles , but it could disrupt the backline of sides who are prepared to watch the ball be played in front of them , rather than being stretched to defend the space behind them .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Additionally, it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of walking' is not part of a VP2[-ing] predicate but rather a complement indicating the source of benefits.

A health expert has shared the most-effective way to burn belly fat that anyone can do and does n't need special workout equipment . Dr Eric Berg DC says the exercise should be done daily for best results and can even correct a slow metabolism . Dr Berg is a chiropractor who specialises in healthy ketosis and intermittent fasting . He is the author of the best-selling book The Healthy Keto Plan , and is the Director of Dr Berg Nutritionals . Taking to his YouTube channel , which boasts of 12.6 million subscribers , the doctor said : " Exercise contributes to about 15% of belly fat loss , and diet contributes about 85% . The first step to burning fat is to switch the body 's fuel source from glucose to fat . " Fat calories do n't influence insulin to any significant degree , he said . But that does n't mean you can just consume unlimited amounts of fat and lose weight . He pointed out how you must also reduce your carbohydrates to force the body to burn fat . Once you start burning fat fuel , the body @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " Ketones are the byproduct of fat - energy your body can use as fuel . Eating also increases insulin , " he told viewers . " To get into fat-burning mode , you need to lower your insulin by reducing your carbohydrates and doing intermittent fasting . It 's also important to remember that even a little bit of carbs can stop you from burning fat . Video Loading Video Unavailable Click to playTap to play The video will auto-play soon8Cancel Play now " Consistency is key with this fat loss program . But , if you do this program 100 percent , your body will become an efficient fat-burning machine . " He said getting into a state of fat-burning can help reduce insulin resistance , which may help correct a slow metabolism and help you lose stubborn weight . " With these problems out of the way , you 'll notice a lot of success when you add exercise , " Dr Berg added . To help improve insulin resistance further , Dr Berg recommends adding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of water and drinking that two to three times a day using a straw . Apple cider vinegar is full of probiotic bacteria that can improve your gut , which in turn helps with digestion and potentially with weight loss . Dr Berg says walking is one of the best exercises you can possibly do As for the best exercise to burn belly fat , the health expert says it is walking . " Walking can help you lose belly fat even more than doing high-intensity exercise , " he revealed . " High-intensity interval training can help improve certain hormones and is essential for building muscle . But walking is better for losing fat . It 's essential to walk an hour or two hours a day . " You could even try using a pedometer and working on increasing your steps to 8,000 to 10,000 steps per day . The most beneficial thing to do is walking along with high-intensity interval training . However , you will get more benefits out of walking , he said . Story Saved You can find @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ icon in the top right . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate, and it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'out of' in a different context, referring to making the most of available items, which is unrelated to the transitive out of -ing construction.

Reasoning
×
The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'more young people' is the NP subject, 'are finding' is the V1, 'they' is the NP object, and 'using this account to buy a home' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also induces a prevention interpretation, as it implies that the high prices are preventing young people from using the account to buy a home. The NP object 'they' functions as a causee, and the NP subject 'more young people' is an animate agent. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Personal finance campaigner Martin Lewis has spoken about the six things he wants to see in Rachel Reeves ' budget on Wednesday . In an interview with The Times Mr Lewis explained he had met the chancellor and written her an open letter laying out the changes he thinks are needed . Spectulation has been growing that some areas could see big tax rises including around employers ' National Insurance , possible public sector pensions changes , tweaks to inheritance tax and possibly more taxes on gambling . But Mr Lewis said the Chancellor needs more to help the poorest people in the country after the winter fuel payment was axed . Now only the poorest pensioners in the country with an overall income of less than ? 11.400 can get the ? 300 - meaning that about 10 million who previously got it are missing out . Only those on Pensions Credit can claim it - but concerns have been raised that people with very little money wo n't be able to heat their homes . Mr Lewis said : " We are looking at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a long time , but none of the things I am suggesting are pipe dreams . They are realistic asks and many do not require much expenditure , " Lewis said . " A large number of things within the consumer finance world are simply poorly designed . We need a fair system that works well . " After months of doom and gloom , many taxpayers are braced for some tough decisions . But Lewis hopes that the chancellor will also lay out her path to better days once the books have been balanced : " People do n't mind short-term pain if they can see what the end game is . " Here are the six changes he wants to see . 1 . Winter fuel payment The government has introduced means-testing for the winter fuel payment . These annual handouts of up to ? 300 were paid to all pensioners but now go only to those who get pension credit -- a benefit that tops up your weekly income to ? 218.15 if you are single or ? 332.95 for a couple . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ week . " This was a strange way for a new government to plant its flag and I 'm not sure they quite realised the impact it would have , " Lewis said . " I have no objection to the principle of means-testing the payments -- there is no need for millionaires and billionaires to get them . But I do have a problem with both the level of the means test , because ? 11,300 a year is too low , and the mechanism , because basing it on a critically underclaimed benefit was a poor choice . " About 800,000 of those who are eligible for pension credit do not claim it , and so will not get the winter fuel payment . It means that people the government believes should get the payment , including many of the poorest and most vulnerable , are missing out because they have n't completed the complex claim form . That is wrong , worrying and potentially life-threatening , " Lewis said . " One solution , which is imperfect but workable , would be to broaden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or are in council tax bands A to C qualify . This has precedence from prior energy crisis payments , so is easy to implement and would cover the vast majority of the most vulnerable pensioner households . " 2 . Child benefit In his final budget as chancellor in March , Jeremy Hunt addressed some of the problems with the child benefit system , but there is still work to do . Child benefit is ? 25.60 a week for the first child and ? 16.95 a week for additional children . Since April parents earning below ? 60,000 have been eligible for the full benefit ( up from a previous limit of ? 50,000 ) but have to pay back 1 per cent of the benefit for every ? 200 earned above that limit . Once one parent earns ? 80,000 , the family are entitled to nothing . " The benefit is still based on individual rather than household income , which makes it incredibly unfair , " Lewis said . A household where two parents each earn ? 59,999 -- a combined ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ household where one parent earns ? 80,000 would get nothing . Raising the threshold means that fewer people are affected by the means test , but the core unfairness remains and it needs to be addressed . There are real problems in changing the way this works because our tax system is based on individual not household earnings . Hunt promised to shift to a system based on household rather than individual income by April 2026 , and I want a commitment from this chancellor to continue with that . " 3 . Tax-free childcare " This perk for parents is critically underclaimed and that is because it is badly named -- it is instantly confusing and off-putting , " said Lewis . The tax-free childcare scheme replaced the old childcare vouchers and offers parents up to ? 2,000 a year towards childcare costs . You set up an account through the Government Gateway system and for every 80p you put in , the government will add 20p . Parents who earn up to ? 100,000 can claim up to ? 500 every three months . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for childcare , yet while 1.3 million families are eligible , some 800,000 of these are not claiming their free money . Lewis thinks a big reason is that the scheme is poorly named ( it sounds like something to do with your tax return ) and communicated . " Our research showed that if we changed the name to something like ' the working parents childcare top-up ' , which actually describes what the payment is , then you would massively increase the number of people claiming it , " he said . " This would be very cheap and easy for the government to rename so that more people can benefit . " 4 . Lifetime Isa The Lifetime Isa was launched in 2017 as a way to help first-time buyers get on the property ladder . Those aged between 18 and 39 can save up to ? 4,000 a year until they are 50 and get a 25 per cent top-up on their savings . If the money is used before age 60 for anything other than to buy a first home , you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the bonus , and some of your own money on top . If you had ? 10,000 and earned a ? 2,500 bonus , you would pay a penalty of ? 3,125 , losing ? 625 from your savings . Other rules are strict , too . You can only use a Lifetime Isa to buy properties worth up to ? 450,000 and that cap has not changed since 2017 , even though house prices have gone up significantly . " As a result more young people are finding they are priced out of using this account to buy a home , " Lewis said . " This is very easy to fix . All you have to do is make it so that if you buy a property above the threshold , you do n't get the bonus , but you also do not pay a fine , " he said . " That effectively reduces the penalty to 20 per cent . It would be good to see the ? 450,000 threshold rise with average house prices too . " It is completely unjust that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state wanted them to do -- use a Lifetime Isa to save for their first property -- and they are having to pay the state a fine when they come to do that . It needs to stop . " 5 . Energy bills The amount we are all paying to heat and light our homes has soared since 2021 , and it 's not just the rate for each unit of gas or electricity that has gone up . The standing charge -- the daily amount you pay for being connected , even if you use no energy at all -- is limited by the energy regulator 's price cap to about 31p a day for gas and 61p for electricity . This is equivalent to more than ? 300 a year . Three years ago it was ? 86 . " This means that low-usage households who reduce their usage do not see a benefit . It is particularly unfair to many people who have gas central heating that they turn off for six months of the year , " Lewis said . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ then unit rates will need to go up to compensate . That means that to make this change we need to simultaneously bring in tariffs that protect vulnerable higher users , such as families with a child who has a disability who perhaps needs a huge amount of energy for a ventilator or to charge an electric wheelchair . " It 's a fine balance and we need the government and the energy regulator Ofgem to work together on this . " Smart meters are another problem . Lewis said : " These are good in principle ; the idea is that you do not have to submit a reading to your energy supplier , that your bills are more accurate and you can instantly see how much energy you are using at home . " The problem is that more than 20 per cent of people tell us theirs do n't work , meaning that they do n't feed through readings to the firm . Other things that go wrong include using incorrect tariffs , broken energy monitors and more . Firms simply do n't allocate enough @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if they do not meet new installation targets , but we should be targeting based on the number of working smart meters -- covering both installations and repairs -- and that would help to fix the problem . " 6 . Carer 's allowance This benefit is paid to those who care for one person for at least 35 hours a week and earn less than ? 151 a week after tax . It is paid at ? 81.90 a week -- about ? 4,258 a year . But if you earn a penny over the weekly earnings limit , you lose the full allowance and must pay back anything you have received in error . " Often the system does not pick up that people have earned too much , due to a change in minimum wage for example , and they only find out when they are asked to repay , " Lewis said . " How is someone earning so little expected to pay back a year 's worth of carer 's allowance ? The system is devastating the lives of some of our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so that if you earn above the threshold , you gradually lose your allowance in a tapered way , rather than it being a cliff edge . Any clawback should only be based on the amount that you earned over the threshold , not the whole payment .

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction with 'young people' as the NP subject, 'priced' as V1, 'they' as the NP object, and 'using this account to buy a home' as the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also induces a prevention interpretation, meaning that young people are prevented from using this account to buy a home due to being priced out. The verb 'priced' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically'. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Personal finance campaigner Martin Lewis has spoken about the six things he wants to see in Rachel Reeves ' budget on Wednesday . In an interview with The Times Mr Lewis explained he had met the chancellor and written her an open letter laying out the changes he thinks are needed . Spectulation has been growing that some areas could see big tax rises including around employers ' National Insurance , possible public sector pensions changes , tweaks to inheritance tax and possibly more taxes on gambling . But Mr Lewis said the Chancellor needs more to help the poorest people in the country after the winter fuel payment was axed . Now only the poorest pensioners in the country with an overall income of less than ? 11.400 can get the ? 300 - meaning that about 10 million who previously got it are missing out . Only those on Pensions Credit can claim it - but concerns have been raised that people with very little money wo n't be able to heat their homes . Mr Lewis said : " We are looking at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a long time , but none of the things I am suggesting are pipe dreams . They are realistic asks and many do not require much expenditure , " Lewis said . " A large number of things within the consumer finance world are simply poorly designed . We need a fair system that works well . " After months of doom and gloom , many taxpayers are braced for some tough decisions .

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

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It involves a transitive verb 'got' with an NP object 'a mental kick', but it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Carl has now told The Sun on Sunday that he believes she cheated on him with four different men .

Rather than tossing a microphone or set of speakers into glasses , Chamelo is taking a more fundamental approach to take the hassle out of swapping glasses for sunglasses . Its new eyewear model , Prime , can automatically transition from glasses to sunglasses thanks to a light sensor built into the bridge . This piece of tech , paired with the aptly named ' Autopilot ' feature -- not to be confused with Tesla 's self-driving mode -- will automatically adjust the tint of the lenses based on the conditions you 're in . For instance , if you 're walking outside on a sunny fall day , the lenses might adjust to a higher tint to protect your eyes . ( Image credit : Chamelo ) Pretty handy -- and Chamelo promises that tint adjustment takes just 0.1 seconds .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It involves the phrase 'get food out of the ground', which is a literal extraction and does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate or a causee. Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as defined for the transitive out of -ing construction.

There , Clarkson shows the realities of agriculture , from economic uncertainty to the horrors of British weather , as well as some the devastating moments with his beloved animals on the farm . He 's now spoken out after the Budget today , where Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced a move to apply inheritance tax to family farms . The Government announced ? 5 billion for England 's farming budget over the next two years , maintaining the ? 2.4 billion current level for 2024/25 and 2025/26 , and this year also includes a ? 200 million underspend from previous years . Following the Budget , Clarkson took to X to criticise the decision not to increase funding . Clarkson has become the face of farming after his Amazon Prime series ( Picture : **31;138;TOOLONG ) In response to one comment , he went on : ' We have a new government . It 's turning out to be hopeless . ' He later urged his followers to not ' despair ' and hope for change in the next General Election . He wrote : ' Farmers . I know that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ despair . ' Just look after yourselves for five short years and this shower will be gone . ' To view this video please enable JavaScript , and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Location , Location , Location star Kirstie Allsopp also fumed over the Budget , writing on X : ' Rachel Reeves had f**ked all farmers , she has destroyed their ability to pass farms on to their children , and broken the future of all our great estates , it is an appalling decisions which shows the government has ZERO understanding of the what matters to rural voters . ' In the comments , she added : ' Tenants will lose their farms as a result of this . ' One person replied saying : ' Why should farms be passed down without inheritance tax when all other property is including in IT ? ' to which Kirstie said : ' Because we 've need people to work on the land that know the land and have an investment in it , it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ job . ' Earlier this year , Clarkson -- who has even changed the law thanks to his TV series -- admitted the farming landscape has become ' risky ' , digging deeper into the finances of it . After a competition with his co-star Kaleb Cooper to see if money could be made ' out of farming bits of the farm that are n't farmed , ' Clarkson explained : ' What we really did it for was to highlight the enormous cost that farmers face just to try and get food out of the ground . ' So , ordinarily , you 'd probably spend on the farm like this ? 40,000 in seed , fertiliser , slug pellets , and all of the diesel , and various things you need to grow food . Well , last year here it was ? 108,000 we had to spend . ' Clarkson added : ' It 's a bit like if you go to a casino and it 's a ? 2 minimum bet , you can have fun with your mates .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses the intransitive verb 'came' with 'out of' followed by a gerund phrase 'trusting people', which does not involve an NP object functioning as a causee. Additionally, it lacks the movement/extraction or prevention interpretation characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

My first memory of fishing is of standing in the River Faughan , which is a little river that runs through the edge of Derry , the town where I grew up . I was incredibly fortunate that I could go to the centre of town , get the bus for 20 minutes and find myself standing on a river , where at the time you actually had a decent chance of catching a salmon . I had a little rod my parents got me called a combination rod . It 's a Japanese bamboo thing with different parts , so you can turn it into different types of rod . On that day , a tiny , little , beautiful trout hiding on the edge of a little riffle , was generous enough just to grab on to the end of my fly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a decent look at it . And that was it . Both me and the fish were hooked . Why are so many of us drawn to the water ? On a hot day , why do so many people instinctively head to the beach , or the nearest river or the nearest lake ? I think it 's a spiritual connection that we all have with water . After all , it 's where we came from . Rivers are the heartbeat of humanity . They always have been , and always will be . Without rivers , there would be no humankind -- or at least , not as we 'd recognise it . Our species would never have been able to settle the planet without rivers . We would n't have survived in some of the outer reaches of the planet , because rivers provide that fundamental thing we can not exist without -- they provide water . Without it , we have got 72 hours . That 's how important that is in our lives . If you go for 72 hours without water @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rivers with contempt . Why do I care about all this so much ? Well , I grew up in a really strange house . I did n't realise it at the time , because when you 're a child , home is just where you 're living , so everything just seems normal . My father was the chairman of the Labour Party in Derry in the 1950s and 60s , when there was still such a thing . He was also branch secretary of his local union , the Electricians Union . So on my father 's side , they were all massively politically engaged . But ironically enough , it was n't my father who was the big power player in my house . It was my mother . She was deeply involved in Irish culture , and in promoting the language . I think it was April 1969 , and I would have been 10 , when she helped to organise a big cultural festival in Derry . She was involved in the civil rights movement , and on that morning , she demanded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ My father then drove us all to the opposite side of Ireland , where , as a family , we took part in the people 's democracy civil rights march between Belfast and Dublin . We were protesting against injustices to the Catholic community and nationalists in Northern Ireland . And at 10 years old , I was walking down the middle of the main road between Belfast and Dublin very enthusiastically waving what I later learned was an anarchist flag , thinking , well , this is quite good . Little did I know . I received an early family lesson , which is that if you see injustice , you have to do something about it . What has happened to our rivers and to our coastal waters is horrific . The pollution , the lack of care , the outright cynicism of the water companies -- that 's the injustice that I now can not ignore , and we are all living with the consequences . Back in the 1960s I waved banners in the street . But nowadays , I can get my voice heard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ radio and saying , " did you know , by the way , that your local water company 's filling your local river full of shit ? " At which point the whole nation just goes , " sorry , what the hell did he just say ? Turn that up . " And when I started campaigning for cleaner rivers I began seeing these community groups , like the Ilkley Clean River Campaign . People like them have been working for decades and doing everything that was expected of them , writing letters to politicians , writing letters to regulators , standing outside supermarkets , collecting signatures and petitions , and doing everything you need to campaign . But here was the mistake that those glorious , wonderful , beautiful , good people made : they put their trust in the system . And the system was quite happy and prepared to take that trust and dismiss it and trash it . The change in the rivers has actually been going on since the mid to late 1970s , and the anglers have seen it all happening @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trying to do is to convince the trout that this thing that you 've fixed to the end of your line , and which is made of silk , fur and feather , is in fact a real , live , breathing insect that it now wants to eat . To do that , you need an insect population , because the trout have to be conditioned to feed on them . If the fish are n't used to eating real insects , they are unlikely to be lured by your fake one . So anglers notice insects . They will remember that the last time they fished at a certain spot , there were clouds of bloody insects . There 's clouds of mayflies , there were clouds of everything hovering across the water . They will especially notice when they 're not there any more . The Windrush Against Sewage Pollution is based on the River Windrush in Oxfordshire , and one of their members has a garden that is actually on the bank of the Windrush itself . They 've got two pictures taken 20 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the crystal clear water . The water is so clean you can count the pebbles on the river bed . It 's full of weeds , full of fish . In the second image , taken 20-odd years later , the water was dank , grey , utterly impenetrable . The river was dead . It took two decades to kill it . Even people who have no affinity for the environment , who do n't care about it , and who may even have an adverse reaction to the words " green economy " , they still look on with horror and absolute disillusionment and frustration . And also anger -- anger at the water companies , whose fault this is . People say , " What do you mean ' they 've taken our money and spent it ? ' What do you mean ' my river 's full of shit ? ' " People instinctively understand this , and see it as a gross violation of nature , and that includes people who are environmentally engaged and people who are n't . I 've @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people all over the world walk up to me who 've wanted to talk about music , and I do mean kind of remote parts of South America and all kinds of things . What a fucking brilliant way to live your life . People just want to talk about joyous things , like music and gigs and records . But now people want to talk to me about shite in rivers . Well , what did I ever do to deserve that ? Or rather -- what did we ever do to deserve this ? I guess there are priorities . If I was given control of the levers of power , this is what I 'd do . The laws to deal with this are all there . They 've always been there . So the first step is simply to enforce the law on a couple of companies when it comes to dealing with sewage . The legislation is there , the powers are there , the authorities are there . For 35 years , the Environment Agency has had the ability to fine and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a maximum sentence of up to two years in jail . It happens to fly-tippers every week . So why not the chairman of Thames Water ? The second step is that you need to strip the regulator down and rebuild it , because clearly Ofwat and the Environment Agency are just institutionally incompetent . And that goes all the way down to the middle management , regional teams , even area directors at the EA . I had a conversation with the former director of water of the Environment Agency , whom I met , and I was pretty shocked by their ability . Horrified . Third , you 're then going to have a whole debate about restructuring these water companies . Thames Water is untenable and uninvestable . They were on track to run out of money by Christmas , and a recent loan of ? 3bn will keep them limping along for a bit longer . But that does n't solve the problem -- it only puts off the inevitable . You 've still got ? 64bn-worth of bondholders out there who have in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are eventually going to get stung , and they know it . So the truth is that the investors who own 56% of Thames Water shares have already written the value off . The Ontario Pension Fund , the Queensland Government Pension Fund both hold Thames Water shares , and they value them at nothing . What does that mean ? Well , I want to buy up all of those Thames Water shares , guess what ? Their value will be a big , fat zero . And I can think of all kinds of ways to take control of water companies tomorrow -- of nationalising them -- without costing the taxpayer a penny . Someone recently claimed in parliament , " oh , we ca n't nationalise the water companies , because it 's going to cost ? 90bn " . But that 's just a made-up number , designed to scare people . Nationalising the water companies would not cost a penny . Finally , I would simply amend the audit regulations tomorrow to force those companies to put the whole cost of fixing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sheet . They would immediately become insolvent . Bankrupt . And water companies are not allowed to go bankrupt . If they go insolvent , the law says that the assets revert back to the state . So that 's the four-point plan . Now , I get that this is a big , complicated problem . I understand that the government has inherited an economy that is n't in any fit state and there are other priorities , but , and I 'm sorry , these chalk streams just do n't have five or 10 years to wait . There is n't a single river in this country at the moment that 's in good environmental health . Not one . That being said , Keir Starmer has a big incentive to get the country through this . Do you want to be the prime minister who let London run out of clean drinking water ? The reality is , we have n't invested in London 's water supply and we 're now at the point where the latest estimates put it at about 10 to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ estimating we need to find 5bn litres of water a day , and we 're now looking at a situation where London is no 9 on the list of global cities most likely to run out of drinking water . Still no one has a plan , but this could be the issue that forces action because no one wants that legacy . But here 's the thing : I do n't want to be a bloody campaigner . I retired in 2011 and I want to go back to talking to people about music . So , I 'm looking forward to the prime minister stepping up and allowing me to do that . It 's easy to become frustrated about all of this , to become angry . The fishing helps . I 'm someone with a thousand ideas whizzing about inside my head like bullets . Being on the river bank helps , and I 'll be back at it soon . The trout season has ended though . It stops on September 30 , to give mummy and daddy trout time enough to do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be there next year . But even so , the reminders are there . Consider a fish like a grayling . That fish has a really small liver , which is really sensitive to pollution . They just can not process any kind of toxin , because the liver is tiny . Nationally , our stocks of grayling have fallen off a cliff . In my house , growing up in Derry , when you saw what you perceived to be a social injustice , my mother demanded you confront it . Sitting back and just looking at it and observing and complaining was not an option , not then , and not now . As told to Jay Elwes and Eleanor Longman-Rood .

30th October 2024 Remote Stream Throughout October 2024 , West Ham United is marking Black History Month by celebrating talented and young Black creatives in our local community and reclaiming the narratives by shining a light on the untold stories . Over the course of the month , we 're profiling key voices from the West Ham family and beyond - including award-winning music producers , media leaders , podcast hosts and photographers . By highlighting these individuals , we aim to share their often untold success stories , encouraging us to learn , share , discuss and celebrate their journeys , gaining a fresh perspective on the contributions of Black British people in our sphere . Last up in our inaugural edition of the Rooted In series is MOBO-award-winning rapper , author and broadcaster Isaac Borquaye , AKA Guvna B , who has showcased his wide array of talents throughout his career . Since starting out , he has released ten albums , supported Tinie Tempah on tour , written two books , produced segments for the BBC @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' Good Morning Transfers show . With West Ham , he has worked on a range of projects , including helping to produce interviews with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Mohammed Kudus . Growing up a stone 's throw from Upton Park , West Ham has always been part of Guvna B 's life . Having moved next to the Club 's iconic Chadwell Heath training base at the age of 14 , he vividly remembers hearing Glenn Roeder putting the Irons through their paces from the school playground . Back then , he would be part of the crowd of young supporters standing outside Chadwell Heath , begging for autographs and photos like every other wide-eyed fan . Fast forward to 2024 , and now he 's among those being targeted as a familiar face at West Ham . " I was born and raised in Custom House , and people who are familiar with Newham will know it 's majority West Ham , " said Guvna B. " I went to a school called St Edward 's , and the playing field was backed onto the West @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ started to slowly fall in love with the Club , because I 'd come out of school and I 'd see Fr ? d ? ric Kanout ? , Jermain Defoe and Michael Carrick driving out of training . Nobby Solano gave me five quid once , because I was a bit cheeky and asked him for some money . He rolled his window down , handed me a fiver , and I thought this is a real community , real family , and I got to know the players that way . " I got really lucky to attend my first game because my best mate is called Joe Widdowson , and he was playing for the Academy . I could n't afford to go to football games growing up , but he got me a ticket to a game in my first year of secondary school , and it was the game where Paolo Di Canio scored against Wimbledon . Seeing that goal live was so special , and from then I 've never looked back . " I think West Ham is a community Club @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Guvna B East London has a rich and diverse history , and at West Ham we are proud to be based in one of the most multicultural areas of the country , where equality , diversity and inclusion are at the heart of everything we do . Having relatable role models from our own Club and community is something we believe has an impact on young Black people - and Guv says he is incredibly proud to be part of a Club that leads the fight for equality and celebrates culture . " I think West Ham is a community Club , especially if you grow up in east London , " he continued . " Now , I know a lot more in depth about the work that the West Ham Foundation does , such as offering a lot of young people opportunities that they would n't otherwise have through sport . I just love that you go into the bakery , the fishmongers , or you go into the butchers and you 're surrounded by West Ham fans . For me , that 's special @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ big one in terms of role models , purely because in a playground you were debating about your football team , then having arguments . He was a flair player that we had that fans of other clubs rated and respected , so he was up there for me . Another one for me was Anton Ferdinand . When I started going to games , Anton was a big centre-back that had a bit of quality about him , and I just remember him being a significant part of my West Ham journey . So I 'd say he was the one that connected with me quite a bit . There were a few players at that point who had a bridge to the fans . They were n't just there to do a job , play football for 90 minutes , then go home , but it 's almost as if they really cared for the fans and were passionate about representing us , and that 's what I liked about Anton . " I was quite lucky because at the time I was growing up , we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and Nigel Reo-Coker , who was captain for quite a while as well . That was special for me , because if you do n't see yourself , it 's hard to be yourself , and I saw representation on that surface level . But also , I grew up on a council estate in Custom House , so we had Africans , Caribbeans , Europeans and working-class British people , so I felt like I was always represented . " It 's not until you get a bit older and you start to see how some of the underlying biases and prejudices in society play out and can affect you in a negative way . But thankfully , I 've been blessed enough to have a community where I can share some of my struggles and some of my concerns , and we 're all in it together , and we can be part of the change that we want to see . What people do n't understand about football is that I ca n't think of anything else that brings people together and has the power @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But at West Ham , it feels that that 's a real possibility , and that 's something I 've always been grateful for . " Guvna B has also worked with the Club on a series of different projects in recent seasons , most recently hosting interviews with Wan-Bissaka and Kudus over the course of the last year . To work for the Club so close to his heart is something he once could have never dreamed about . " It 's a bit of a dream come true working with West Ham , because I 've been passionate about football for all of my life , but went into music and started rapping in the playground at school , " Guv confirmed . " Back then , I never really thought about how these two different worlds can be connected , but as time goes on , you see the bridge between things like music , fashion , football and culture , and I 'm lucky to support a Club that sees that as well . " From when I started interviewing players and having @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the things that 's struck me from very early on is everyone was so down to earth . I think Nobes Mark Noble was the first interview I did , and he just spoke to me like he 'd known me for about 20 years . I think it 's a testament to the Club and the culture that we have that everyone 's really down to earth . " To be involved with the Kudus signing was massive . He 's into his music , and also the relationship that I 've built with the team behind the scenes at West Ham meant that I was able to be a part of it . It was really organic , and I feel like it made Mo feel like part of the Club from the start - the fact that we 'd prepared that announcement . It was really special for me and attracted millions and millions of views . " Aaron Wan-Bissaka has probably got a reputation for being quite a quiet person , but he opened up quite a bit , and you saw a different @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to see people of his quality and personality playing for our Club . " It 's always great to be involved , and I 'm happy that myself and a few others are almost changing the perception of what someone thinks a West Ham fan is . West Ham is a cult Club , and people are aware of some of the rivalries we 've got , so you get this picture of what a typical West Ham fan is , but what I find is that it 's far from the truth . It 's not just white people , not just bald people , and it 's not just big people . We come in all different shapes , sizes and colours , and I think the beauty of what I bring to the Club , as well as many others , is that it gives like a realistic face of this Club , real diversity , real people and from all different kinds of walks of life . " Guvna B also highlighted the importance of ' entry and connecting points ' , and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ achieve its full potential . He added : " I think a big connecting point with me was Isla Caton , a young girl who sadly lost her life due to neuroblastoma . The way that the Club and supporters got behind her and her family was quite special , and it was just another example of how special this fan base is and how we 're all in it together . " One of the ways in which I 've seen that is via social media . I 'm pretty active on X and Instagram , and there 's just a lot of West Ham fans that have had an entry point into the Club through various different ways . Not everyone grew up having a Season Ticket , and some people could n't afford to go to games , but they found their way in , and it 's a really special community . " There 's a lot of need and a lot of deprivation in Newham , and I think West Ham have always been really good at embedding themselves and working within @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them realise their full potential . They can look at people like me and think , you know what , music is an option , or working for the Club that you support is an option . It 's about providing different opportunities , not just sport and music , to help people think they can contribute to their community and be part of positive change . I think that 's special . " |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes a situation where Labour's budget is affecting farming communities, but it does not involve a verb that fits the V1 slot of the transitive out of -ing construction, nor does it have a VP2[-ing] predicate that would allow for a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Labour 's cruel and callous farm tax is a death sentence to family-run businesses ( Image : Getty ) Just hours after Labour announced a budget that would rip the heart out of farming communities , Labour 's Defra Secretary of State Steve Reed , who was meant to stand up for farmers in this Labour Government , demanded that farmers " learn to do more with less . " When they wanted your vote , Labour said time and time again they would n't do this . Keir Starmer even took the unusual step of attending an NFU conference to assure farmers of a different relationship , and Labour ministers repeatedly promised this change was not on the table . And yet when Rachel Reeves stood up to deliver Labour 's first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will snatch a chunk of the family farm away in an inheritance tax grab and hand it to Labour . Mr Reed backed it without considering the life-changing impact this cruel measure will have . Not just on farmers but on rural communities as a whole and the food security of this entire country . Mr Reed , whose constituency is in London ( a place not exactly famed for its thriving rural lifestyle ) , had the cheek to cheer on a budget that will tear apart the family farms which act as custodians of our countryside in the process . It 's a move that 's as callous as it is foolhardy . In short , Labour 's Halloween Horror show budget removes the agricultural property relief . For those working a farm , that means taxing 20 per cent of the value of your farm , home , land and business - over the ' threshold ' upon it being inherited . Farmers who toil their entire lives to build and maintain a farm and dream of passing it on to the next @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ farmers , it 's practically a death sentence to their business . Restricting the amount of land available , and cutting off one of the best ways for younger farmers to get their first step into this way of life . And with it goes any prospect of shoring up our country 's food security . Because " No Farmers , No Food " is n't just a slogan , it 's a fact . It should n't need to be said - we know it , but perhaps our metro minister , Steve Reed , needs reminding .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('taxes are needed to price people out of flying for the environment'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the action of pricing is preventing people from flying. The verb 'price' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically'. The NP object 'people' functions as a causee, and the sentence clearly conveys a prevention interpretation, making it an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It describes a scene with cockroaches moving in and out of ceiling vents, but there is no verb in the V1 slot acting on an NP object with an out of VP2[-ing] predicate that would indicate a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

When you purchase through links on our site , we may earn an affiliate commission . Here 's how it works . ( Image credit : Bloober Team ) The world of Silent Hill is a weird , liminal place . Here , the threshold between the unsettling dream of the fog world and the industrial hell of the Otherworld can be as tenuous as crossing a small gap to a neighboring building , or a shift in mental state . Yet even within this existing framework of weirdness , Silent Hill 2 's Toluca Prison stands out as an anomaly , your journey to it taking you down a seemingly neverending staircase and a succession of holes that make it feel like it exists beyond the usual two Silent Hill realities . While its whereabouts in Silent Hill 's psychosphere are up for debate , it feels like a sub-dimension where James ' conscience and a harrowing part of Silent Hill 's history bubble together in a dark brine deep in the bowels of the Otherworld -- or even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ War soldiers , then a correctional facility with a habit for executions and disposing of corpses in deep holes , Toluca is saturated with bad memories . Fittingly for the spooky season -- and faithfully to Team Silent 's original rendition -- Toluca Prison is the point at which Silent Hill 's dimensional spectrum ventures towards the spectral , with Bloober retaining the little touches that made the prison feel haunted ( by forces other than James ' own guilt and horniness , that is ) . Long-dead prisoners whisper in clammy cells , invisible horses can be heard trotting to take prisoners to the gallows , and a scream from beyond the grave -- a shameless jump-scare made all the more effective by the fact that the game contains so few of them -- await those descend into Toluca . ( Image credit : Bloober Team ) There used to be an older game here ( Image credit : Konami ) Silent Hill 2 Remake review : " An atmospheric and rewarding horror game up there with the Resident Evil @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also takes a few departures from the design of the original Silent Hill 2 , which used a tight , top-down perspective that made it hard to see the scuttlers and other creatures coming your way . With the limited control that we had over the camera in Silent Hill 2 , we were often at the mercy of Team Silent 's creative cinematography , which it deftly exploited to claustrophobic effect . Even now , there 's definitely some weight to the contention that a fully controllable all-angles camera is an aspect of modern game design that 's anathema to effective horror . To counter this , Bloober exploited an aspect of modern game design that was notably lacking back in the days of the original : verticality . Instead of looking downwards in Silent Hill 2 Remake 's Toluca , your attention is turned upwards this time . At first you just hear something moving up above you , but when you look up , you see nothing but dim lights dangling by cords that disappear into the darkness . As you try to get your bearings @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , you get some respite when you find a lever that switches on all the lights in the cell block . But that relief is short-lived when you realize that these lights are on a timer , which audibly ticks down faster and faster until you are plunged into near-total darkness once more . In the end , the precious seconds I 'd spend pulling the lever , compounded by that dreaded countdown , would slather on so much tension that I 'd opt to just sprint through the darkness rather than burden myself with the additional stressors . Eventually , maybe as the ticking lights start to sputter , you see them : the deadly new threats that have been stalking you . They are in fact a new form of an existing enemy , the Mannequin -- four prosthetic legs adjoined by a torso , essentially . Utilized up to this point in the game as hidey-seeky purveyors of jump-scares tottering around on two gainly legs , Toluca gives the Mannequins a horrifying refresh just as their original form might have started to grow overly familiar . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , like cockroaches skittering in and out of ceiling vents in a damp motel room , before leaping at you from all angles . ( Image credit : Bloober Team ) Once this insectile new form of the Mannequin catches your scent , it 's as if it sends a signal to the others , because they all seem to descend on you at once . Within moments , you 're blasting them off the walls with your shotgun while straight-jacketed Lying Figures spit venom at you from their cells . In these moments , Silent Hill 2 Remake 's horror veers into Resident Evil 4 territory , as you 're besieged from all sides and -- for the first time in the game -- are anxiously watching your ammo supplies dwindle . This gear-shift towards a noisier , swarming kind of horror is a creative liberty on Bloober 's part , but it works precisely because it 's an outlier to the rest of the experience . It also fits thematically with a setting that 's steeped in violence , as you try to traverse what feels @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quell it , you can only hope to survive it . Even in the quieter moments wading through Toluca , the protracted industrial notes of Akira Yamaoka 's score reverberate through and grind down your psyche ( you know you 're in a bad place where the only relief from the barrage of noise and monsters comes by standing in a pitch-black execution yard ) . At one point , you pick up a paranoid note from one of the prisoners claiming that another prisoner can get to him through the walls . When you get to this prisoner 's cell , you find that they 've created a hole in the wall through which to escape , and as you squeeze yourself through this escape route , that note about the prisoner stalking others through the walls lingers in your mind .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It involves a transitive verb 'got' with an NP object 'a mental kick', but it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of saying it and then pretending it was role-play' does not describe an event from which the object is caused to move or prevented from participating.

Once upon a time , Katie Price was madly in love with Carl Woods , her ' perfect prince ' who was all set to be husband number four . Sadly , their engagement ended on a sour note , and Carl has n't held back when it comes to blasting his former fiance'e . Katie and Carl 's rollercoaster romance began in the summer of 2020 and quickly became intense . The couple , who met through TV work and mutual friends , appeared to be completely smitten - even tattooing each other 's faces on their arms mere months into the relationship . However , by the close of 2023 , their fairytale went up in flames , amid a flurry of cheating allegations , mud-slinging , and pointed social media posts . Now used car dealer Carl has added more fuel to the fire , lobbing a number of fresh bombshell allegations against his famous ex . Furious Carl believes Katie got a ' mental kick ' out of taunting him ( Image : Hoda Davaine/Dave Benett/Getty Images ) In a recent interview with The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deliberately cried out other men 's names in bed , in a bid to taunt him .

She would do weird things to get into my head . " According to Carl , Katie ran ' like a lunatic ' after her confronted her over spicy sexts ( Image : Ken **26;1524;TOOLONG ) During a 2020 holiday in Turkey , Katie broke bones in both feet after tumbling from a 25-foot wall , with her agonising ordeal requiring her to undergo several surgeries , including an eight-hour op . Carl has now claimed her injuries came about after he confronted her over her alleged ' sexts ' to a Premier League star . Claiming that Katie was acting ' very sloppy because of the booze ' , Carl , who alleges Katie cheated on him with four different men , recalled : " She @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exit stairs , across the reception of the hotel , and straight out of the hotel car park . " She did n't mean to do it but she was running like a lunatic and she went off the edge . She ran through the bush and the ground disappeared beneath her . That 's how she really did her feet . " Katie 's sister Sophie Price has since reacted to the allegations of infidelity , in a blistering statement given to the Mirror over the weekend . Skewering Carl as ' Another ex-cashing in on Kate ... ' , Sophie remarked : " For someone who did n't want to be famous he 's not doing a very good job at it ...

According to Carl : " She wants to look younger so she can get younger men . She believes if she chases her youth by having surgery she can chase the young men . Her new boyfriend JJ is coming up to 32 soon so it wo n't be long before he 's an old-timer . She met me around that age and then swapped me for a younger version when I got too old . " This is n't the first time Carl has expressed doubt over the future of Katie 's relationship with her current beau JJ Slater . In a previous interview with Closer magazine , Carl predicted that Katie will ' make mincemeat ' out of JJ , and noted that her love interests are getting younger and younger . Carl raged : " Soon she 'll be dating lads that are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ few years . Psychologically Katie still thinks she 's young and she wants to prove she can still get all the young men , she gets a thrill out of it . " A representative for Katie has previously given the following response : " Another ex cashing in on Katie . For someone who did n't want to be famous , he 's not doing a very good job at it . " |

Plans to demolish a ' unique ' Art Deco building in Cambridge have been recommended for refusal . The plans would have seen the former cinema on Hobson Street demolished to make way for offices and shops . Planning officers for Cambridge City Council recommended that the plans be refused because they would see the loss of a ' unique ' Building of Local Interest . They added : " The proposed development would comprise a scale and design which is out of keeping with the character and appearance of the Conservation Area . " A report which councillors will consider at a meeting on Wednesday ( November 6 ) said the plans would see existing buildings " replaced by an office building of significant mass and scale , which would ultimately result in the total loss of the existing non-designated heritage asset " . It described the former cinema as comprising " iconic and rare architectural features " which significantly contribute to the area . Planning officers also raised concerns about a proposed roof pavilion , which the report said was a " bulky and appropriate addition " . Several organisations objected to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , The Garden 's Trust , Cambridge Past Present and Future , and the Cinema Theatre Association . An objection from Cambridge Past Present and Future on the planning portal said : " We do not consider that the proposed fa ? ade is as characterful as the existing .

We consider it boring and uninspiring and failing to replace any theatricality of the original . " The report said the plans did include some public benefits , including improving Hobsons Passage and Hobson Street , as well as some community space . The plans also include a ' substantial ' level of cycle parking for future users . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('you' + 'talk' + 'drummers' + 'out of doing solos'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the subject is causing the object to not perform the action described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. The verb 'talk' is classified under means of verbal persuasion, which is one of the categories of verbs that can appear in the V1 slot of the construction. The NP object 'drummers' is a causee who participates in the event described by 'doing solos'. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

RECORDING WEEK 2024 : The Beatles Abbey Road album was released on September 26 , 1969 , a little over 55 years ago . Join us now on a track-by-track deep dive , alongside a man who was there to witness its making , Geoff Emerick , the Beatles ' late chief engineer ... It is an image as memorable as the moon landing - and one copied by tourists on a daily basis . ( Even a few bands have paid homage , most notably Booker T & The MGs . ) Ironically , the shot was a last-minute decision . During the recording of what was to be their swan song , The Beatles toyed with several titles , and Everest , a reference to the brand of cigarettes their late chief engineer , Geoff Emerick , smoked , was the favourite .

" So Ringo said , ' Why do n't we just shoot the cover outside and call it Abbey Road ? ' Like many a Ringo suggestion , it won out . " During his tenure with The Beatles , Emerick had a few good ideas of his own - many of his sonic innovations , starting with the album Revolver , broke new ground and established techniques that are emulated to this day .

But Emerick almost sat out Abbey Road . Having begun his career at EMI Studios at the age of 15 in 1962 as a lowly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Martin , one of The Beatles ' most-trusted sound architects , he quit working with the band during the recording of the double-LP The Beatles aka ' The White Album . ' " The group was disintegrating before my eyes , " says Emerick . " It was ugly , like watching a divorce between four people . After a while , I had to get out . " A year later , however , he was drawn back to work with Martin and The Beatles with the promise that the band would be on their best behaviour . Emerick missed a few sessions for the album that would eventually rename EMI Studios , but in the end , he says , " I 'm glad I came back for the final bow . To have missed being a part of the Abbey Road album , I 'd still be kicking myself . " " The White Album was a nightmare . I was becoming physically sick just thinking of going to the studio each night Geoff Emerick Things must have been pretty awful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and leave . Walking out on The Beatles - not many people would have done that . " Oh , it was a nightmare . I was becoming physically sick just thinking of going to the studio each night . I used to love working with the band . By that point , I dreaded it . Getting out was the only thing I could do . " I was surprised and pleased at how everybody got along Even so , you returned because the band promised to make nice and get along for Abbey Road . " That 's right . It came about through a conversation George Martin had with Paul . I had left EMI , but I was employed by The Beatles and was overseeing the construction of a new studio for them at Apple . " After Let It Be , which I understand was not very pleasant for anybody , Paul was very keen to make a record the way the band used to . He wanted George Martin and I behind the console and everybody working together . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been . " Did you take Paul at his word , that there would be a spirit of harmony ? " Yes , I did take him at his word . And John said the same thing to George Martin . In the back of my head I might have had some reservations , like , ' Well , we 'll see ... ' But I was surprised and pleased at how everybody got along . " By that time , they 'd been literally incarcerated at EMI . They grew to truly hate the place Did you have any idea while you were cutting Abbey Road that it would be The Beatles ' last album ? Was anything said to that effect ? " I did n't think it would be the last one . And nothing was said to indicate that , at least not to me . As far as I understood it , we 'd be working on another record in the new studio I was building at Apple . The band was getting along better . The mood was n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a hell of a lot better than during the previous year . " The only hint they gave me or anybody was on the album cover , where they 're walking across the street . For people who do n't know the geography , they 're actually walking away from the EMI Studios - or Abbey Road , as everybody knows it now . This was intentional on their part - they did n't want to be seen as walking toward the studio . When I saw that photo , I did think to myself , ' They 're sending a message . ' " By that time , they 'd been literally incarcerated at EMI . They grew to truly hate the place . It certainly was n't the most luxurious studio in the world . It was cold and quite uncomfortable , and EMI was always quite slow to embrace new technologies - we were the last to get four-track and eight-track recording decks . In fact , Abbey Road was the first album where I got to use an eight-track console . " I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the world - still are , really . Could n't they have told EMI , " We want a better console , better accommodations " ? " No , it was against the rules at EMI . I remember at one point they wanted some covered lights in Studio Two , a bit of mood lighting , and the word they got back was ' We ca n't do that sort of thing . ' So the band ended up setting up their own little area in Studio Two , with little lamps of their own and things to make it more homey . " Ringo 's drumming is extraordinary on Abbey Road , his tom fills especially . But there 's a different sound to his drums as well ; they envelop the songs . " I chalk that up partly to the technology . For the first time we were using a transistorized mixing console . Up to this point , all the albums had been recorded on a tube desk . But this luxurious transistorized desk had a limiter and compressor on every channel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Regarding Ringo 's drums , this was the first time I was able to record his kit in stereo because we were using eight-track instead of four-track . Because of this , I had more mic inputs , so I could mic from underneath the toms , place more mics around the kit - the sound of his drums were finally captured in full . " I think when he heard this , he kind of perked up and played more forcefully on the toms , and with more creativity . " Ringo was still draping tea towels over his drums , something he started around the time of Hey Jude and The White Album " That 's right . He did that on a couple of things . Come Together , Something ... those are the ones that come to mind . " You know , now that I recall , the transistor desk was n't without its problems . It delivered a bit of a softer sound - the guitars , the bass , the snare and the bass drum were all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bit of time for the guys to get used to it . There was n't the kind of out-and-out fighting and bickering that you witnessed in ' 68 , but there was tension . Did n't Ringo walk out again , as he did during ' The White Album ' ? " Yeah . that was because John was n't happy with the drumming on Polythene Pam . He had some problems with Ringo 's performance and Ringo got pissed off and split for a couple of days . But he came back and redid the track and John was pleased . " That was the only bit of real tension - well , except for the fact that John absolutely hated Maxwell 's Silver Hammer . My word , that song drove him totally mad , and he certainly made everyone aware of how much he hated it . " laughs The Moog synthesizer was a new addition to The Beatles ' lineup of instruments on Abbey Road . Do you recall any new guitars or drums coming in ? " No . I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , although I was quite fascinated with what they were doing with the Moog . I was more concerned with tones and getting sounds right . Do n't forget , before then , everything was being monitored in mono ; this was the first album we recorded in stereo . " Paul might have been miffed , but I think he was more upset about not singing on the choruses -- John did his own backing vocals " I remember John came in with a basic framework for the song , but at first he played it a lot faster . Paul suggested slowing it down and making it more ' swampy . ' John quite liked that idea . " Some weird things happened , though : Initially , Paul played the electric piano part , but John kind of looked over his shoulder and studied what he was playing . When it came time to record it , John played the electric piano instead of Paul . Paul might have been miffed , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the choruses -- John did his own backing vocals . " George had a smugness on his face when he came in with this one , and rightly so - he knew it was absolutely brilliant . And for the first time , John and Paul knew that George had risen to their level . " Paul started playing a bass line that was a little elaborate , and George told him , ' No , I want it simple . ' Paul complied . There was n't any disagreement about it , but I did think that such a thing would never happened in years past . George telling Paul how to play the bass ? Unthinkable ! But this was George 's baby , and everybody knew it was an instant classic . " " George really hit a personal best as a guitarist , as well . He played a guitar solo , but a few days later he decided be wanted to redo it .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('you' + 'talk' + 'drummers' + 'out of doing solos'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the subject is causing the object (drummers) to not perform the action (doing solos) by means of talking. The verb 'talk' is classified under means of verbal persuasion, which is appropriate for this construction. The NP object 'drummers' functions as a causee, and the sentence clearly induces a prevention interpretation.

RECORDING WEEK 2024 : The Beatles Abbey Road album was released on September 26 , 1969 , a little over 55 years ago . Join us now on a track-by-track deep dive , alongside a man who was there to witness its making , Geoff Emerick , the Beatles ' late chief engineer ... It is an image as memorable as the moon landing - and one copied by tourists on a daily basis . ( Even a few bands have paid homage , most notably Booker T & The MGs . ) Ironically , the shot was a last-minute decision . During the recording of what was to be their swan song , The Beatles toyed with several titles , and Everest , a reference to the brand of cigarettes their late chief engineer , Geoff Emerick , smoked , was the favourite . George Martin and Geoff Emerick ( Image credit : Phil Dent/Redferns ) So Ringo said , ' Why do n't we just shoot the cover outside and call it Abbey Road ? ' " But the band decided they did n't want to trek to the top @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ told us , with a laugh when we spoke to him in 2014 . " So Ringo said , ' Why do n't we just shoot the cover outside and call it Abbey Road ? ' Like many a Ringo suggestion , it won out . " During his tenure with The Beatles , Emerick had a few good ideas of his own - many of his sonic innovations , starting with the album Revolver , broke new ground and established techniques that are emulated to this day .

But Emerick almost sat out Abbey Road . Having begun his career at EMI Studios at the age of 15 in 1962 as a lowly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Martin , one of The Beatles ' most-trusted sound architects , he quit working with the band during the recording of the double-LP The Beatles aka ' The White Album . ' " The group was disintegrating before my eyes , " says Emerick . " It was ugly , like watching a divorce between four people . After a while , I had to get out . " A year later , however , he was drawn back to work with Martin and The Beatles with the promise that the band would be on their best behaviour . Emerick missed a few sessions for the album that would eventually rename EMI Studios , but in the end , he says , " I 'm glad I came back for the final bow . To have missed being a part of the Abbey Road album , I 'd still be kicking myself . " " The White Album was a nightmare . I was becoming physically sick just thinking of going to the studio each night Geoff Emerick Things must have been pretty awful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and leave . Walking out on The Beatles - not many people would have done that . " Oh , it was a nightmare . I was becoming physically sick just thinking of going to the studio each night . I used to love working with the band . By that point , I dreaded it . Getting out was the only thing I could do . " I was surprised and pleased at how everybody got along Even so , you returned because the band promised to make nice and get along for Abbey Road . " That 's right . It came about through a conversation George Martin had with Paul . I had left EMI , but I was employed by The Beatles and was overseeing the construction of a new studio for them at Apple . " After Let It Be , which I understand was not very pleasant for anybody , Paul was very keen to make a record the way the band used to . He wanted George Martin and I behind the console and everybody working together . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been . " Did you take Paul at his word , that there would be a spirit of harmony ? " Yes , I did take him at his word . And John said the same thing to George Martin . In the back of my head I might have had some reservations , like , ' Well , we 'll see ... ' But I was surprised and pleased at how everybody got along . " By that time , they 'd been literally incarcerated at EMI . They grew to truly hate the place Did you have any idea while you were cutting Abbey Road that it would be The Beatles ' last album ? Was anything said to that effect ? " I did n't think it would be the last one . And nothing was said to indicate that , at least not to me . As far as I understood it , we 'd be working on another record in the new studio I was building at Apple . The band was getting along better . The mood was n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a hell of a lot better than during the previous year . " The only hint they gave me or anybody was on the album cover , where they 're walking across the street . For people who do n't know the geography , they 're actually walking away from the EMI Studios - or Abbey Road , as everybody knows it now . This was intentional on their part - they did n't want to be seen as walking toward the studio . When I saw that photo , I did think to myself , ' They 're sending a message . ' " By that time , they 'd been literally incarcerated at EMI . They grew to truly hate the place . It certainly was n't the most luxurious studio in the world . It was cold and quite uncomfortable , and EMI was always quite slow to embrace new technologies - we were the last to get four-track and eight-track recording decks . In fact , Abbey Road was the first album where I got to use an eight-track console . " I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the world - still are , really . Could n't they have told EMI , " We want a better console , better accommodations " ? " No , it was against the rules at EMI . I remember at one point they wanted some covered lights in Studio Two , a bit of mood lighting , and the word they got back was ' We ca n't do that sort of thing . ' So the band ended up setting up their own little area in Studio Two , with little lamps of their own and things to make it more homey . " Ringo 's drumming is extraordinary on Abbey Road , his tom fills especially . But there 's a different sound to his drums as well ; they envelop the songs . " I chalk that up partly to the technology . For the first time we were using a transistorized mixing console . Up to this point , all the albums had been recorded on a tube desk . But this luxurious transistorized desk had a limiter and compressor on every channel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Regarding Ringo 's drums , this was the first time I was able to record his kit in stereo because we were using eight-track instead of four-track . Because of this , I had more mic inputs , so I could mic from underneath the toms , place more mics around the kit - the sound of his drums were finally captured in full . " I think when he heard this , he kind of perked up and played more forcefully on the toms , and with more creativity . " Ringo was still draping tea towels over his drums , something he started around the time of Hey Jude and The White Album " That 's right . He did that on a couple of things . Come Together , Something ... those are the ones that come to mind . " You know , now that I recall , the transistor desk was n't without its problems . It delivered a bit of a softer sound - the guitars , the bass , the snare and the bass drum were all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bit of time for the guys to get used to it . There was n't the kind of out-and-out fighting and bickering that you witnessed in ' 68 , but there was tension . Did n't Ringo walk out again , as he did during ' The White Album ' ? " Yeah . that was because John was n't happy with the drumming on Polythene Pam . He had some problems with Ringo 's performance and Ringo got pissed off and split for a couple of days . But he came back and redid the track and John was pleased . " That was the only bit of real tension - well , except for the fact that John absolutely hated Maxwell 's Silver Hammer . My word , that song drove him totally mad , and he certainly made everyone aware of how much he hated it . " laughs The Moog synthesizer was a new addition to The Beatles ' lineup of instruments on Abbey Road . Do you recall any new guitars or drums coming in ? " No . I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , although I was quite fascinated with what they were doing with the Moog . I was more concerned with tones and getting sounds right . Do n't forget , before then , everything was being monitored in mono ; this was the first album we recorded in stereo . " Paul might have been miffed , but I think he was more upset about not singing on the choruses -- John did his own backing vocals " I remember John came in with a basic framework for the song , but at first he played it a lot faster . Paul suggested slowing it down and making it more ' swampy . ' John quite liked that idea . " Some weird things happened , though : Initially , Paul played the electric piano part , but John kind of looked over his shoulder and studied what he was playing . When it came time to record it , John played the electric piano instead of Paul . Paul might have been miffed , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the choruses -- John did his own backing vocals . " George had a smugness on his face when he came in with this one , and rightly so - he knew it was absolutely brilliant . And for the first time , John and Paul knew that George had risen to their level . " Paul started playing a bass line that was a little elaborate , and George told him , ' No , I want it simple . ' Paul complied . There was n't any disagreement about it , but I did think that such a thing would never happened in years past . George telling Paul how to play the bass ? Unthinkable ! But this was George 's baby , and everybody knew it was an instant classic . " " George really hit a personal best as a guitarist , as well . He played a guitar solo , but a few days later he decided be wanted to redo it . By that point we only had one track left and that was for orchestral overdubs . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It was a gamble , but he did it in one take , and it was beautiful . " " There were two struggles going on with this song : Paul and John fighting over whether it should even exist ! laughs John called it ' more of Paul 's granny music . ' But there was my own struggle coming up with the sounds that should go on it . " For the hammer bits , we actually had to rent a proper blacksmith 's anvil . The thing weighed a ton , as did the hammer used to strike it . Ringo tried but he just could n't hoist the hammer in a way that allowed him to hit the anvil with the correct timing , so Mal Evans one of The Beatles ' roadies , who was a large man , he wound up doing it . " The other thing was the Moog synthesizer solos in the middle and end , which sound almost like a Theremin .

" I thought the song was going to have a fade out , but suddenly John told me , ' Cut the tape . ' I was apprehensive at first - we 'd never done anything like that . ' Cut the tape ?

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate, and it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a situation where people come out of training, which is a different usage of 'out of'.

Cardiff City have promoted Michael Reindorf to the first-team training squad permanently after his run of goals for the youth team . The 19-year-old signed as a free agent in the summer having left Norwich City , this weekend 's opponents , for Omer Riza 's side , and has impressed in front of goal , scoring 12 times in total for the under-21s . The forward also put in solid showings against Bristol Rovers and Southampton in Carabao Cup matches , providing his first senior assist against the Saints for Rubin Colwill 's screamer , but has not featured in a Championship matchday squad so far this term . After another match-winning strike for the under-21s in the mini-South Wales derby this week , which you can read more about here , Reindorf 's name has once again been the focus of some debate among Bluebirds supporters . There are some who are firmly in the camp that the jump is simply far too much for him and he needs first-team experience elsewhere before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ believe you will never know if he 's ready until he is given the opportunity . The problem is also compounded by the poor form of Cardiff 's other striking options , with both Wilfried Kanga and Yakou Meite woefully out of form in front of goal . That forward area is quickly becoming a problem position for Riza , who on Thursday confirmed that nailed-on starter Callum Robinson is an injury doubt for the Canaries ' visit on Saturday . And Riza has taken note of Reindorf 's form for the under-21s and has made him a permanent fixture in first-team training sessions , however it sounds like there is a way to go before he leapfrogs others in the pecking order . Sign up to our daily Cardiff City newsletter here . " I 've been to a lot of the under-21s games , I try to go to as many as I can . I could n't get to the Swansea one because I was down in London , " Riza said . " He is doing well and working hard , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Blox ( Matthew Bloxham ) and the other staff who are around it . He 's doing some really good things in and out of possession , but he 's got a lot of work to do . He is still young and he 's only come in this year . " I 've sat with Michael a few times and he is now finally , over the last two or three weeks , he 's been training with the first team , because I thought that was important , you ca n't just call players up into a first-team environment and think they are going to play without training . " He had n't trained before them . It was on and off , but now he 's full-time training with the first team . Now he 'll have his chance to prove what he can do . " I did say to Michael that he had to be better than the other players who are playing and training with you every day , day in , day out , to get the opportunity to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He 's got to keep working hard . There 's been some nice moments at times but there are things that still need a lot of work . " That 's no disrespect to him . He is a young lad who is in and around the first team at the age that he is . He has come in to Cardiff and already got his debut , but we have to be sensible in our approach . " One wonders how much of a conversation this would be if Kanga had hit the ground running , but the fact of the matter is that the Ivory Coast international has struggled to adapt to his new club . Granted he was starting under Erol Bulut in a team that was struggling at the beginning of the campaign and has been usurped by Robinson in the pecking order and is now not getting the opportunities . Suddenly , in Robinson 's absence -- with Meite and Kanga out of form and Kion Etete and Isaak Davies both injured -- that front line looks glaringly short of options , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ late fitness test . But Riza is not willing to give up on the former France youth international , who has impressed with his finishing prowess in training . Instead , the interim boss wants to give him a fair crack of the whip and hopes he will come good in the coming weeks . " I 've chatted with Willy a few times . It 's difficult for players , they do n't mean to not perform or not score goals and he needs some confidence , " Riza added . " He needs a chance to score and hopefully he 'll get it . What 's important is , you do n't just lose a player because he has n't quite done it yet . I still think there 's more to come from him and he 's looked sharper in training . He 's got a good character and works hard . I want to give him a fair opportunity to try and find himself and that 's it . " I was a striker and I know that when you miss opportunities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or you start second-guessing yourself , taking an extra touch when you should hit first time , it can happen . " He 's only played in games since I 've taken the team . All the players are looking at the system , the style , looking at what we 're doing and they all want to be in the team . I know he 's come on ( from the bench ) and sometimes he 's not been able to do enough , but in training he 's working hard . " There 's times in training where his finishing excellent and we come out of training and we 're like , ' Did you see Willy Kanga 's finishing today ? ' " So , he can do it .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'got a kick out of being part of Team America' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it expresses enjoyment or pleasure, which is not a characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Auston Trusty got a kick out of being part of Team America at the heart of Celtic 's defence against Dundee the other night . But the Hoops centre back knows the return of Cameron Carter-Vickers means there scrap for places in the side is now as tight as the bonkers race for the White House in his homeland . USA aces Trusty and CCV go way back to their times in the American youth set up , having both been part of Tab Ramos ' under-20 World Cup squad in 2017 . But -- surprisingly -- the pair had never started the same senior match until Wednesday 's 2-0 win over the Dens Park men . The duo went together as comfortably as stars and stripes but the return to fitness of his big international pal has given boss Brendan Rodgers a dilemma ahead of Hampden , with Liam Scales also in superb form . Trusty said : " It was good playing with Cam . I 've know him for quite a bit now so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ really good . " It looked a solid partnership but Trusty and Scales was also sensational in the Champions League draw with Atalanta in Italy last week . In fact , take away the Borussia Dortmund game in Europe , and Celtic 's defence has been rock solid no matter who has played . The Hoops racked up another shut out against Dundee -- and they 've now collected eight clean sheets in 10 league games . And it 's been pretty tasty at the other end too , with Rodgers ' men averaging almost three goals a game on the home front . The Celts gaffer rotated his squad for the Dundee win with an eye on tomorrow 's Premier Sports Cup semi-final clash with high-flying Aberdeen . And it 's clear there is an almighty scrap for places at Hampden . Trusty reckons the more the merrier -- as the intense fight for the starting line-up is a show of strength . As for who gets the nod at the National Stadium , the ? 6m arrival from Sheffield United said : " I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I just show up and do my job . I think everyone here just shows up and does the job if they are asked to play . " It 's an honour to play for him and this club . You just have to turn up and do your thing and be a good team mate . There is a lot of completion , all over the pitch I guess . But that is professional football . " If you have competition then it means you are a good team , because you have quality players who are starting , or are not starting but who can be on the bench . It 's a privilege to have players who can come in and it makes no difference . It 's good to have that competition . " Trusty has shown he 's willing to adapt too . The big defender has tended to play on the left side of the backline partnership and has been deployed at left back at various times in his career . But Carter-Vickers stepping out of the side to nurse a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alongside Scales . There might have been some initial teething problems , but Trusty has made huge strides in recent weeks -- culminating in that heroic display in Bergamo . It'a going to be a tricky one for Rodgers given the ultra-reliable displays from Scales , but the American is happy to do his bit no matter what . He said : " I 'll do whatever is needed for the team . That 's my mindset and I think I 've shown my capabilities to play any position along the backline . Whatever it is , I 'll give it my best go . I 'll do whatever it takes for the team if the gaffer asks me to do it . " The sane goes for the rest of the Celtic squad . The raft of changes the other night diminished some of the usual fluency from their play against Dundee . But it was the kind of routine no fuss win that gets the job done during these hectic spells . Celtic 's midfield of Luke McCowan , Paulo Bernardo and Arne Engels @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Yang and Luis Palma could maybe be forgiven for trying to impress a tad too much against a packed Dee backline . Either way , Celts did n't panic when the early goal did n't arrive and they kept the faith the breakthrough would come . Auston Trusty was solid in the heart of the Celtic backline Trusty said : " It was good . We got the result and that was what we wanted to do . We made kind of a start and had chances in the beginning . If we 'd scored those early on the game changes and shifts . It did n't so it went on to the second half . But we know it 's going to come . We are a confident team . It 's just a moment in time in a game , so we have to keep doing our jobs . " That 's what we did . Having patience was big . Playing out style of play and having the ball so much , you might not score with the initial break , but eventually we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ favour . You gave to be patient to do your job . " It was a slightly different challenge to the one Trusty faced in Italy seven days earlier , but one he relished just the same . The 26-year-old has settled at Celtic and is lapping up the succession of big games -- with another huge one up tomorrow . He said : " I love it . It 's such a historic club . You see the passion from top to bottom in the organisation and with the fans , how they truly care . Every game is such an opportunity . Even though it 's game after game after game , it 's amazing and you still have the thrill and excitement every single time . Every game is important -- every game is a final .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'locked out of getting closer with certain companions' involves the verb 'locked' and the preposition 'out of', but the NP object 'you' is not explicitly stated as a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Additionally, the interpretation does not clearly align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations typical of the transitive out of -ing construction.

More than 400 people are feared to have died in the catastrophic flooding in southeast Spain this week , the country 's worst natural disaster in memory . A large-scale emergency response has intensified amid rising public anger at the perceived failure of the authorities to warn of the danger . The national death toll rose to 205 on Friday -- but officials said that 250 people were still missing in the Valencia region alone . Carlos Maz ? n , the regional president of Valencia , said the government 's emergency line was still receiving thousands of calls from people desperately searching for relatives . On Friday the mood in La Torre , a suburb of Valencia , and the Barrio Orba , a working-class neighbourhood of Alfafar , was swinging between shock , despair , anger and desperation . A woman was caught on video being swept away by the storm as people tried , seemingly in vain , to rescue her SOLARPIX Laura Prieto sat on a kerb in mud-stained clothes , staring at her devastated street . " It was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ traffic lights , palm trees as the water rose , " she said , recalling Tuesday evening 's flood . " Our flat is on the first floor so we avoided the worst , but in front we could see a woman in a ground-floor flat crying for help , the water up to her chin . " We could n't do anything to help her and thought she was dead after she stopped crying . But five hours later she was rescued , her little dog in her arms . " There could be more misery to come . Several areas of Valencia and Castell ? n , as well as the south of Tarragona , are under an orange warning from Aemet , Spain 's meteorological agency . Volunteers in the ruined town of Paiporta were distinguishable by their cleaner clothes MANAURE QUINTERO/AFP/GETTY IMAGES If the death toll keeps rising , it could prove to be Europe 's worst storm disaster in more than half a century . Floods on the Continent killed more than 240 people in 2021 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ around Lisbon killed an estimated 500 . " The magnitude of the catastrophe has no precedent , " the transport minister ? scar Puente told local television . There were so many volunteers that they began to hinder the emergency services ALBERTO SAIZ/AP As news of the devastation continued to emerge , Sir Keir Starmer tweeted : " My thoughts are with those who have lost their lives , their families and all those affected by the devastation caused by the extreme flooding in Spain . The UK stands with Spain during this difficult time . " In Chiva , west of Valencia , residents were clearing debris from mud-filled streets . The town received more rain in eight hours on Tuesday than it had in the preceding 20 months and water overflowed a gully that crosses the town , tearing up roads and homes . The mayor , Amparo Fort , told RNE radio that " entire houses have disappeared ; we do n't know if there were people inside or not " , adding : " There is still a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mountains of cars . " A legion of volunteers turned out to help the rescue and clean-up . In La Torre they came with brushes and buckets , their clean clothes making them stand out among the bedraggled residents . Volunteers made their way into the town in huge numbers to clear up EVA MANEZ/REUTERS EVA MANEZ/REUTERS NACHO DOCE/REUTERS " Everyone is on edge , there 's a lot of panic and anger now , we feel abandoned , " Prieto said . " I felt there 's no ? humanity left -- but then you see how people come out to help and it 's like having your faith restored . " Forty thousand homes have no power and tankers are distributing fresh water . However , the sight of thousands of people streaming across the River Turia with food , water and energy lifted spirits . " It has reconciled me once more to the world , " said Mari Paz , 75 . " To see all these people , of all ages , coming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cars were wrecked by the massive torrents Getting in and out of La Torre required navigating an assault course of abandoned cars , debris from collapsed buildings and mud slicks . Heavy machinery is beginning to arrive but for now the clean-up remains a grassroots affair . People were seen brushing muddy water out of ground-floor homes into the streets , where others used whatever was to hand -- one elderly man deployed a large , framed painting -- to sluice it into the drains . Laura Larumbe and Antonio Merita , both 30 , arrived with cleaning materials . Friends of theirs in La Torre had lost everything . " We had to come , most people feel the same way and today is a national holiday , which helps explain why there are so many , " Larumbe said . " In the city people are setting up donation points , where everything can be collected before being taken along for distribution among those in need . " The prime minister , Pedro S ? nchez , hailed " the limitless solidarity and dedication @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for as long as it takes " . The response has been so overwhelming that by midday Maz ? n appealed for volunteers to stop making their way to La Torre and other affected areas because their high numbers were impeding emergency services . Alejandro L ? pez , the 44-year-old president of the Falla Camino Alba Castillo Cullera , was sorting through the debris of his association 's assembly hall . Valencia has hundreds of such groups dedicated to constructing the elaborate decorative floats that are paraded through the streets before being set alight in the annual Fallas celebrations , which take place in the spring . " The fallas are social groups , part of their communities . It 's normal that our 250 members are helping because even if many of us have moved to other areas our roots are here , " he said . " It is going to be very hard . We are suffering but we will recover . " Residents rescued from devastating Spain floods He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tardiness of the emergency services to respond . " Do n't blame them . They are here in numbers now and everyone is working hard . " Nor did he judge people who looted a supermarket opposite his association 's headquarters . " In the first 48 hours there was nothing : no water , no food , " he said . " They were desperate . It 's understandable that these items were taken . But it 's not acceptable that other things like perfumes and mobile phones were stolen . " On Thursday ? ngel Victor Torres , a government minister , promised an uncompromising response to looting , a sign order was breaking down in some places . On Friday police said they had arrested 50 people for incidents including thefts from cars and a jewellery store .

Tesco , Britain 's biggest grocer , is to return ? 700 million to shareholders after completing the sale of its retail banking operations to Barclays .

The 36-year-old , who now works as a travel writer , said : " In the city centre everything is fairly normal . There are still people out on the terraces drinking coffee .

Some places still do not have electricity , running water or stable telephone connections .

The sentence 'He gets a kick out of modelling womenswear because many people don't realise he's a man' does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The verb 'gets' is transitive and selects an NP object 'a kick', but the phrase 'out of modelling womenswear' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present in the sentence. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence 'The former President reportedly had to be talked out of using the slur' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It has a prevention interpretation, where the action of 'talking' prevents the former President from 'using the slur'. The verb 'talked' is used in a passive construction, which is also a property of the transitive out of -ing construction. The NP object 'the former President' is a causee who participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'using the slur'.

Spain has ramped up its response to the devastating floods in the Valencia region by dispatching an additional 500 soldiers , as the death toll rises above 200 .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject ('The substantial change in costs') + V1 ('is pricing') + NP object ('some couples') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('providing their child with the education of their choosing'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the change in costs is preventing some couples from providing their child with the education of their choosing.

Private school fees : A 20 per cent hike is pending when VAT is imposed from January The VAT hike on private school fees from January has become a new battleground for divorcing couples , say lawyers . The 20 per cent increase in fees - which typically range from ? 6,000 to ? 13,000 a term - is affecting negotiations of ' school fees orders ' while some existing orders are now potentially unaffordable , they explain . ' This issue has come to an urgent tipping point as parents need to decide now whether to give notice in their current schools or enrol them for next September , ' says Vanessa Friend , divorce lawyer at Hodge Jones & Allen . ' Reaching an agreement can be extremely difficult when separating and this time-sensitive issue with a high price tag is adding an extra burden for many of our clients . ' Friend says removing a child from their school on top of a family separation is not something parents take lightly , and this financial and emotional dilemma often makes negotiations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Charles Russell Speechlys , says : ' A court order compelling payment of a child 's school fees will almost certainly not specify the amount of the fees , or that payment is exclusive of VAT . ' So , the parent whom the order was made against must pay the fees , with VAT added , unless they can persuade the court to vary or discharge the order . ' Below , lawyers explain how school fees orders work , what options are open to divorcing parents facing steep rises in the cost of private schooling , and what you can do about an order that is already in place . A school fees order is a legally binding court order that a parent , or a person who has assumed the role of a parent , must pay the school fees , she says . Vanessa Friend : Private school is often high on the list of non-negotiables when couples divorce The payments may be regular payments or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ parents with children in private schools . The order often includes additional costs on the school bill , such as school uniforms , lunches , music lessons , or educational trips . Both parties must be clear about these additional costs before agreeing . The order directs the payer to place funds on an account with the school in advance of the school term and to settle any additional invoices from the school within a certain timeframe . It is important to check the school 's terms and conditions . If both parents sign , they are likely both jointly and severally liable for payment of the fees . For this reason , the order often says the payer must reimburse the other parent for any failure to pay . In deciding whether to make a school fees order the court will look at the financial resources of both parties and their ability to pay . This includes consideration of what their future income is likely to be and their future outgoings . ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clients coming to us to discuss private school fees as a result of the cost-of-living crisis - the upcoming VAT increase has only exacerbated this , ' says Helen Marriott , partner at law firm Brabners . ' Where payment of school fees has been agreed as part of a court order , the increase in VAT will likely fall to the parent that is already responsible for fees . ' While it is a financial decision , it 's one that can have a big impact on children , especially older students preparing for exams , says Marriott . She advises parents to communicate and plan in advance , but notes : ' School fees can be a significant cost , so people tend to know whether they can afford them or not . ' Vanessa Friend says maintaining a private school education for children is often high on the list of non-negotiables when couples divorce . But the substantial rise in fees has resulted in an increase in the number fighting over whether they can afford private school and who should cover the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a court order is breached it could result in arrears accruing and enforcement action being taken School fees orders , stipulating one party or both will pay , are not uncommon but the extra VAT burden makes it more complex and time-consuming to agree on the commitment , explains Friend . ' The substantial change in costs is pricing some couples out of providing their child with the education of their choosing , ' she adds . Parents have to be realistic and take into account inflation , VAT and extras on the school bill , says Vanessa Friend . ' Some people are prepared to prioritise school fees -- some are not . The difficulty arises when the parties can not agree upon where to meet in the middle . ' We strongly advise all couples not to enter a legally binding agreement unless they are confident they can meet these commitments for the full term . ' She runs through the potential options couples face . - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ such as the standard of their accommodation . - Sell the family home , including downsizing further than previously planned to free up capital . - Dip into savings , or set aside savings and investments . - Discuss the issue in mediation and take a holistic approach to children 's education and other childcare matters . - Ring-fence a sum of money already available to cover all future school costs , instead of relying on future earnings - via either a fees fund given to the financially dependent party or a joint account providing control and oversight to both . - Relocate to the catchment area of a good state or grammar school , although the housing costs tend to negate some of the savings . - Consider whether there is income protection available which could cover the cost of school fees in case of an inability to work . Sarah Jane Boon : A court order compelling payment of school fees will almost certainly not specify the amount , or that payment is exclusive of VAT But she warns : ' If a court order is breached it could result in arrears accruing and enforcement action being taken . ' In a worst-case scenario , it could be considered a contempt of court , which is a criminal offence . The school may also be able to pursue a civil claim against the payee for breach of contract . ' Marriott says that if parents know now that they wo n't be able to afford the fees after the VAT hike from January , they should let the school know as soon as possible . They should begin looking for places available from the New Year , so children do n't have to start a new school in the middle of term . ' If parents ca n't agree on a new school , then a court application may be needed . If together the parents can afford fees , a new payment structure , outside @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's education remains consistent . ' She adds : ' Where parents ca n't reach an agreement about fees , they can make an application to court . However , with the significant delays in court proceedings currently , this could take up to 12 months to be resolved , so it should be a last resort . ' Sarah Jane Boon , partner at Charles Russell Speechlys , says : ' An application to vary or discharge the order will only succeed if the applicant can establish that the fees are no longer affordable , by giving up to date disclosure of their income and outgoings . ' Even if the other parent has not been paying any of the school fees , they will also need to provide disclosure of their financial position , so that the court can decide if they should now make a contribution to the increased school fees . ' Consideration may also be given to any savings which either parent could put towards the school fees . ' Vanessa Friend of Hodge Jones & Allen says an application @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ should not be relied upon . ' The courts will not grant the application lightly . We encourage couples to discuss the issues at an early stage and consider alternative forms of dispute resolution such as mediation . This is likely to be less expensive than attending court .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'made a living out of dressing as a woman' involves the verb 'made' with 'a living' as its object, and 'out of dressing as a woman' describes the means by which the living was made, not a causee participating in an event. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Clarkson Farm 's Kaleb Cooper has said he had to go " cold turkey " from coffee after he realised he had become " addicted " to the popular hot beverage . Writing in his new book ' It 's A Farming Thing ' , the 26 year old spoke about what he consumes to keep himself going during long days on the farm .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'dumped out of qualifying' does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate that induces a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'qualifying' functions as a noun in this context, not as a verb in the -ing form. Therefore, it does not meet the criteria for the transitive out of -ing construction.

It was a huge surprise two weeks ago when he failed to get out of the bottom five in qualifying at the Circuit of the Americas . And , at another track he loves this weekend , he struggled for pace in his Mercedes again .

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has now attended seven Premier League matches involving Manchester United since he became a minority shareholder . They have not won one of them . Ratcliffe will have to venture to Suffolk in three weeks if he is to witness a visibly and pleasingly unrecognisable United . It is now three wins in ten Premier League games . Only Crystal Palace and Southampton have scored fewer goals than 13th-placed United . Ruben Amorim will have to thoroughly deprogramme these players . There were bound to be parallels aplenty with the Dutch-managed United of last month . United 's shape was forlorn , as it usually is against the Premier League 's big hitters , their play was devoid of strategy , largely absent of quality and reliant on the counter-attack . United were without ten players and the absences of Christian Eriksen and Kobbie Mainoo were particularly felt in a contest controlled by the visiting side . It was a novelty for United to encounter a costlier midfield than their own but Moises Caicedo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moot now . Ruud van Nistelrooy 's week in the manager 's office ended creditably . Van Nistelrooy has conducted himself impeccably on the touchline , at the training ground and with the press since his temporary promotion on Monday . United ought to be bullish about two wins against PAOK and Leicester City next week . There was a flicker of managerial strategy behind their breakthrough . Rasmus Hojlund would have been a logical withdrawal yet played on and elicited the rash contact from Robert Sanchez that allowed Bruno Fernandes to notch a first Premier League goal of the season . Casemiro and Andre Onana , on their haunches in the centre circle , could not look and faced each other . They then heard the roar and embraced . Van Nistelrooy charged down the touchline , pumped his fists and turned to those in the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand . Hojlund 's miscontrol made the penalty possible from a visionary pass from Casemiro , more effective attacking from midfield rather than defending it . His header inadvertently assisted Caicedo 's fine equaliser . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the best player on the pitch . Until United 's midfield malaise ends , they will continue to rue the day they passed on signing the Ecuadorian for ? 5million in 2021 . They played Culture Club 's Karma Chameleon as kick-off loomed , a subtle ode to Van Nistelrooy . The day 's soundtrack ended to that tune as the Stretford End put their hands together for their latest Dutch figurehead and chanted his name . The rendition of ' Take Me Home ' was also louder and hollered with greater gusto than for any previous home fixture since it was bumped up the pre-match playlist . Removing Erik ten Hag and the choice of Van Nistelrooy as an interim have at least improved the Old Trafford acoustics , if not the football . Van Nistelrooy applauded Noussair Mazraoui following a recovery sprint and was critical of Matthijs de Ligt for going backwards rather than forwards . In defence of the defence , everything in front of them was haphazard . United 's attempted pressing quartet was swiftly abandoned . Caicedo did a number on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in his own third led to a Chelsea corner that Noni Madueke nodded against the upright . Twenty-five minutes in , Van Nistelrooy ordered Casemiro to adopt a more compact position next to Manuel Ugarte yet Chelsea continued to find the gaps . Wythenshawe-born Cole Palmer , scorer of four goals against United last term , was curiously blunt in the final third . " City reject , " the Stretford End crowed just past the hour . Palmer heard it again as he headed down the tunnel . Ugarte , carded for shoving Palmer to the turf , was rollicked by De Ligt for eschewing a duel with Caicedo . Midfield was patently the area United had to prioritise with their summer recruitment . Ugarte 's late arrival and his suspect league performances mean it is still the pressing area to address for Ruben Amorim . Fernandes , as is his wont , almost fashioned something out of nothing in an insipid first half with its penultimate kick . His clipped cross was wellied against the upright by Marcus Rashford , his clubface technique ensuring the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ regressed . Twice in as many minutes he failed to release the ball quickly for Garnacho , his teammate for 15 months now . The crowd was audibly irked the second time , their frustration cut short by referee Robert Jones 's refusal to award Hojlund . Jones was woefully out of his depth and castigated by United fans at full-time . When Wesley Fofana barged past Hojlund in the 64th minute , the crowd 's frustration loudened . The sighs reverberated more widely when the unmarked Alejandro Garnacho scooped the ball into Robert Sanchez 's midriff . Garnacho had his weakest performance of an otherwise bright season . Van Nistelrooy turned to the dugout in the 50th minute and Amad stood up but did not warm up . Van Nistelrooy was soon flanked by Rene Hake in the technical area . Five Chelsea substitutes limbered up while the United bench remained packed . Hake was summoned again as Van Nistelrooy pondered a breakthrough from the bench .

Clarkson 's Farm star Kaleb Cooper has opened up about his battle with coffee addiction , revealing he had to quit the stimulant " cold turkey " after realising its grip on him . In his latest book , It 's A Farming Thing , the 26-year-old farmhand shares insights into his daily routine and the changes he 's made to his diet over the years . He recounts a particularly telling doctor 's visit that led to the discovery of his excessive coffee consumption , prompting an immediate need to cut back . Describing the withdrawal experience as " horrendous " , Kaleb likened himself to rock icon Keith Richards and Ewan McGregor 's character Mark Renton from the film Trainspotting . Kaleb said : " I do n't drink much coffee anymore because I overdid it when I was younger , milking cows bang early .

Gary Neville has backed Arsenal to win the Premier League since the start of the season but his reasoning is now being tested after the Gunners ' run of form . Arsenal have dropped points in recent weeks and they lost once again this weekend at Newcastle to compound their poor run . Mikel Arteta knows his side can ill-afford to drop more points and they even got a bit lucky this weekend , as Bournemouth beat Manchester City to ensure the gap from fourth to top remains just seven points . Speaking on the latest episode of his Gary Neville Podcast , the former Man United defender got onto the title race with Liverpool now top of the pile and Arsenal dipping . But according to Neville , Arsenal are still his pick and he feels this weekend could be what they need . " Look , I do n't sit here right now thinking Arsenal are out of the league title , that this is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Neville said . " I think , it might be naive , I might be sat here in three months saying I was completely wrong , this might be what this teams need to actually to be fair go on a massive run and go and win a league title . Because they will be looking at Liverpool and they will be looking at City and thinking , not quite perfect , they are not what they were three or four years ago . This is a big chance . What are we doing ? Wake up . " He added : " Arsenal , at this moment in time , there are big questions being asked , but I do n't rule them out of winning the title . I still have them winning the title . And this might be what they need to win the title . " The Gunners have got lucky this season already in that , as Neville says , Man City and Liverpool are not quite the forces they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lost and drawn twice this season , while Liverpool let Nottingham Forest beat them at home to show they can be got at . Still , Arsenal are now in a position where it 's two defeats and three draws and those results already look costly . Essentially , Arsenal can not afford to drop a single point between now and the new year . Realistically , Liverpool and City will keep on winning games and if Arsenal lose another , it will be game over . As Neville says , it might be the kick they need . But right now , Neville 's title prediction seems a long way off . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, 'run out of' is a phrasal verb indicating depletion, and 'drinking water' is a noun phrase, not a VP[-ing] predicate. There is no causer or causee relationship, and it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not exhibit either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'out of' in a different context, referring to a person from a movie ('the guy out of Trainspotting'), which is not related to the transitive out of -ing construction.

If you want sympathy in 2024 , do n't fall ill or get fired , lose your mobile phone . I left mine on a seat on the London Underground the other day , having only just replaced one I 'd broken , and was struck by how keen people were to help . A member of staff at Shepherd 's Bush station lent me their own phone to ring it , to see if anyone had picked it up . A security guy at Tiffany at Westfield , where I thought I 'd tracked it down to , asked each member of staff if they 'd seen it . Julia Samuel , the therapist I was on my way to see for a podcast recording , did n't mind me moaning about it at great length , though we were there to talk about more profound matters . The sympathy was revealing . I do n't think it 's because of the expense of phones , necessarily . I think it 's because we all know how disruptive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lock you out of banking , work and family admin for days . Replacing one can take even more time . I despaired as I tracked it , via the web , heading towards Kent -- though , in the end , it returned . The lovely Brian Hilliard had found it and arranged for me to collect it . He would n't accept a reward , until I suggested he pass the cash on to charity . I switched it on with relief and some trepidation , expecting to be overwhelmed with panicked notifications . In the event , I had four messages . Two of them passing on cat memes . It was a surprise to see the failed Conservative leadership candidate Robert Jenrick argue last week that Britain 's former colonies owe a debt of gratitude for the inheritance we left them . Not because the unnuanced position is unusual : imperial nostalgia is forever intensifying in the furnace of our culture wars , and the leadership competition has been desperate . It was a surprise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ministerial career to tell me that he had been " impressed " by my Channel 4 documentary on the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919 ; a documentary which argued that racial violence was part of the imperial mission for a time and that we should apologise for a massacre even Winston Churchill described as " monstrous " . Jenrick , a history graduate , proceeded to say he was reading my book Empireland " with interest " and he seems to have endured its argument that we stop trying to " balance " the good and bad legacies of empire and embrace the contradictions without his head blowing up . He had got in touch to remind me that we had been at school together in Wolverhampton and to alert me that he was launching a ? 3.6 billion " Towns Fund " there . It was a disastrous moment in his disastrous ministerial career , not least because Wolverhampton is now a city , not a town . Frankly , it should have all been over right then but we live in shame-free times . I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ head prefect I had the power to dish out lines to misbehaving pupils .

" I 've been travelling a lot for work in the past month and have seen some strange things . Salt Lake City , where the Mormons have replaced the West 's obsessions with alcohol and coffee with an equally destructive obsession with sickly-sweet fizzy drinks . Bali , where the Indonesians have somehow combined a tropical paradise with Birmingham 's inner-city traffic problems .

Sadly , as Eden Taylor-Draper tells us , that does n't necessarily mean the end of her alter ego 's problems . " Everything she 's going through with Tom is hard enough , but Zak was such a big part of her life , " says the star , speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com . " Also , she thought she 'd kept her abuse private from her dad , so when she finds out he knew about it , that 's what really tips her into the breakdown . Her hallucinations and voices are all centred on Zak , she wants to get to him and find some comfort . " A similar situation happened when her mum Lisa passed away , so Zak 's death is really triggering for her , and is what ends up making her spiral . Moments like losing a parent can shape you forever . " Belle in Emmerdale . ITV There are traumatic scenes in store as the full extent of Belle 's breakdown becomes heartbreakingly apparent to her family . As vulnerable Belle reaches rock @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a lifetime , the close-knit Dingle clan realise this is a problem they ca n't solve among themselves . The saga of Tom 's creepy coercion has been a slow burn for the soap , building from a cute courtship and fairy tale wedding before evolving into micro-manipulations and full-blown violence . It 's one of Emmerdale 's most engaging and talked-about stories in recent memory . " Everyone here wanted to get this story right , " Taylor-Draper continues . " From the reaction we 've had , and with the help of the charities we 've consulted , I think we have portrayed a very accurate telling of this kind of experience , although each case is so different . " Belle is known for being strong , but you can be the strongest person ever yet this can still happen to you . I was shocked by the statistics of how many people end up in abusive relationships and that it can take years to escape , or they may never get out . " Tom using tech abuse has also been eye-opening @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ phone and being able to see every message -- it 's horrific , but it goes on . " By necessity , the plot has been , and will continue to be , distressing to watch , but the difficult subject matter has been handled truthfully , and has kept the audience on their toes with unguessable twists ( who saw that axe being plunged into Tom 's back ? Not him ... ) and innovative storytelling . Among several format-busting tricks , including flashbacks , fantasy sequences and retelling the same scene from different perspectives , Taylor-Draper cites one particular instalment as her biggest test throughout the hard-hitting storyline . A sombre Sam , Belle and Cain in Emmerdale . ITV " The episode where Belle played out different scenarios in her mind about her potential futures was one of my favourites , and was definitely the most challenging , " she shares . " We showed what might happen if she stayed with Tom , and there was a scene where she imagined being pregnant and covered in bruises -- that was awful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and heavily medicated and had to be pinned down on the bed , that was a lot . " That may sound like an understatement , but Taylor-Draper is unfazed by the high-pressured demands of soap acting , having started almost 20 years ago , when she had just turned eight . As with contemporaries such as Jack P Shepherd ( Coronation Street 's David Platt ) and Natalie Cassidy ( EastEnders ' Sonia Fowler ) , soap fans have watched Taylor-Draper grow up on screen from a very young age . It 's her unique connection with the audience that has helped make Belle 's torment all the more upsetting to watch . Tinkerbelle Lisa Dingle , as she was christened , was born in a pigsty on Christmas Day 1998 , memorably to a mother who had no idea she was even pregnant . By 2005 , producers wanted to give Belle more screen time and recast the role , and Taylor-Draper arrived with bags of star quality and confidence to tackle the first big plot the character had to herself , in which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It was quite the entrance . " My parents said I was so full of beans as a kid they sent me to any kind of club so I could get all my energy out , " she reflects . " I did a drama club at our local church and was in a production of Oliver Twist . There happened to be an agent in the audience who suggested I go for the Emmerdale audition , and that was it . " I remember filming in the Woolpack on my first day and thinking Mark Charnock ( Marlon Dingle ) was the BFG , literally the tallest man I 'd ever seen in my life ! Jane Cox ( Lisa Dingle ) had to cry in the scene and she burst into tears on cue and I was so confused , I asked if she was OK . She replied , ' I 'm fine , I 'm just acting ! ' and I could n't get my head around it ! " I enjoyed those first few years , but it probably was n't until @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I loved acting and wanted to do it forever . " I was blessed to be a Dingle and grow up with the most talented , well-mannered and kindest people . I particularly looked up to Steve Halliwell ( the late actor who played Zak ) . He taught me to graft , and that no one is , or should be , treated differently than anybody else . " You show up , you work hard and you 're nice to everyone . If you 're tired you still have to be up and at work for seven in the morning , there 's no slacking . As a child , it built me into a healthy routine , and I think it shaped me in terms of the kind of person I want to be and how to treat people . Belle Dingle . ITV " If fans wanted to talk to me , I 'd always try and be polite . I learnt from Steve and the other cast members that without the fans , we would n't have a show . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kept me grounded . Growing up , I never felt different to my siblings , who were n't in the public eye , and suppose I ca n't compare my childhood to anything else as it was all I knew . " Belle went from being Zak and Lisa 's cute , cheeky child to a troubled teenager battling some serious demons . After accidentally causing the death of school friend Gemma , Belle could n't cope , and was eventually diagnosed with schizophrenia at the age of 16 . It was the start of what became a defining story arc . " I was excited and ready for the challenge when I got that story , if a little nervous , " recalls Taylor-Draper . " So many people were on hand to help guide me through it . I 'm pleased we are still exploring it today and it was n't forgotten about , as that would n't have been realistic . " As with the abuse plot , I 'm passionate about work that hopefully makes a difference . To be given that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ honour . " Taylor-Draper takes the responsibility of representing survivors of abuse extremely seriously , and reassures us that Belle 's fighting spirit ca n't be crushed that easily , and that justice will -- eventually -- prevail , as she teases the upcoming climax of the storyline . " Since Belle admitted the abuse to Charity , which felt so special to film as I 'm very close to Emma Atkins ( aka Charity ) , I 've had a lot of messages from people saying they 've now been able to reach out and seek help in their own situation . I 'm proud of that . The audience are finding strength as Belle becomes braver . Sign up to be the first to know about breaking stories and new series ! " Baddies get their comeuppance , and the producers always had an end point in mind to show people you can get out of these kind of relationships . Obviously , it 's not going to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ go on , but that will only make the end more rewarding . " We ca n't finish without asking if Belle will be reunited with Piper , her adorable dog who Tom pretended she 'd killed to make her feel guilty , but actually rehomed behind her back . If Tom 's days are numbered , surely Piper can come out of hiding ? " I really hope we have n't seen the last of Piper , " smiles Taylor-Draper . " Her real name is Minnie and I love her so much , as do the audience . Although , she upstages me in every single scene -- when Tom trapped Belle in the holiday cottage , Piper stole the entire episode ! " But if I have to share the limelight with anyone , I 'm happy to be in her shadow . She deserves it ! " |

It 's not just people that play ; many animals do too , and most of those play well into adulthood . It 's no great surprise , therefore , that we find evidence of that particular , peculiar practice of structured play that we call board games alongside the earliest human artifacts . Archeologists have unearthed 11,000-year-old slabs of limestone with parallel roles of pits or holes that they 've tentatively suggested might be boards for a Mancala-like game . That 's about 6,000 years older than Stonehenge . And , of course , who knows how long before that people had been playing games with sticks or pebbles on boards scratched in the dust of their dwelling places ? We reach firmer ground when we come to the dawn of recorded civilization . Babylonians played the Royal Game @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the world played with knucklebones , cubic bones that were used as an early form of dice . One curious thing about many early games is that they seemed to serve some sort of fortune-telling or ritualistic function . Knucklebones were certainly used for divination , as was the Game of Ur , and while the rules of Senet are uncertain , it appears to have links with the Egyptian journey into the afterlife . At some point , however , these trappings were lost and people began to enjoy them solely for the strategy and excitement they provided . This leads us on a straight path to today 's best board games . ( Image credit : Benjamin Abbott ) It 's perhaps surprising how many games of antiquity have come down to us into the modern day . Backgammon is very ancient , as is Go and a far more obscure , but still played , game called Nine Men 's Morris that was played by the Romans . Its distinctive board of concentric squares has been found carved onto Roman building sites @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ folk tried to fill their downtime with play by whatever means necessary . Chess is more recent , having likely been invented in India around the sixth century , although the game we know today is somewhat different from that original version . Playing cards are a similar age , and hail from ninth century China , probably starting life as money tokens for a different game . They , too , have diversified hugely from their starting point , not only in terms of the number of different games that can be played with them but in form : different countries across the world have different decks . These formed the staple of gaming for most of Europe for an astonishingly long time , right through until the eighteenth century . What made the change was the invention of mass manufacturing , which made it possible for people to design and produce more complex games and bring them to the mass market at a low enough cost to make a profit . Games can be so much more . They can be bigger than the box -- @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of more than 20 games Victorians tended to focus on moralizing roll and move types of board games , educational quizzes and the like as a means of self-improvement , particularly for children . However , the birth of games as a simulation also dates from this era with Kriegspiel , a universal wargame designed as both a teaching tool and recreation for officers in the Prussian army . Those Victorian templates dominated gaming for another hundred years . Monopoly is recognisably a game of this type , although it has a rather bizarre history . Its inventor was an American progressive called Lizzie Magie , who entitled her original The Landlord 's Game in 1903 , and created it to make a satirical point about the negative impact of land ownership and monopolies . She self-published it , and it proved quietly popular , until one day a man called Charles Darrow played it . He repackaged it , stripping out the satirical elements and sold it to Parker Brothers as his own invention , a glorious celebration of American capitalism , and made a fortune which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ else 's labor . ( Image credit : Benjamin Abbott ) While everyday households had been enjoying Monopoly and other mass market designs , there was a quiet undercurrent of more serious games that owed a debt to Kreigspiel and also the long standing hobby of playing war games with miniature model soldiers . Some of these were recognisably simulationist , starting with Gettysburg in 1958 , which sought to allow players to recreate that battle on their tabletop . That same year saw the somewhat more accessible and abstract game Tactics in which the ' red ' and ' blue ' nations fought over an imaginary land mass demarcated with a square grid on which to move their forces . Other well-known games that crossed this boundary include Risk , invented in 1957 by a French filmmaker , and the negotiation game Diplomacy , released in 1959 , which was reputedly Henry Kissinger 's favorite game .

Miniature wargames famously gave rise to Dungeons & Dragons -- now widely seen as one of the best tabletop RPGs -- in 1974 via a set of fantasy rules called Chainmail that allowed players to focus on building their own heroes . And these kinds of military simulations and the burgeoning sci-fi and fantasy of the role-playing market created the nascent hobby board gaming market between them . There are a slew of highly influential games from this cross-pollination such as 1980 's Titan , a bizarre but brilliant game where players recruited stacks of increasingly powerful monsters while moving round a semi-abstract board of obtuse movement patterns , seeking to sometimes evade , and sometimes corner and attack , other player 's creature collections . Other well-remembered games from the ' 80s include fantasy adventure game HeroQuest , Space Hulk ( Games Workshop 's title of battling monstrous aliens ) , and Survive : Escape from Atlantis , in which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ island . Amidst all these games centered around violence and conflict , however , one man was quietly lighting an entirely different torch . Sid Sackson was an American designer who was a rarity at the time in making his living out of creating games . He favored much less aggressive themes , and many of his games were abstract in nature , including a couple of ' 80s classics still played today : push your luck dice game Ca n't Stop and deal-making affair I 'm The Boss . But his real landmark contribution to design came earlier , in 1964 , in the shape of business game Acquire , in which players try to make a profit by growing and merging hotel chains . While this sounds a lot like Monopoly , in practice it 's a much richer , deeper , and far more innovative game of mathematical and spatial strategy , in which piece colors represent different chains rather than individual players . Titles such as Acquire had a particular appeal in a market where violent games were heavily frowned upon . Reeling from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ during the Second World War , Germany frowned upon games that glamorized conflict : indeed there were and are laws in the country restricting the ways that violence can be portrayed in games . And Germany is a nation of game-lovers : sitting down to an after-dinner game is a common national pastime , particularly among families . As ever , the combination of desire for something which was governed by strict social and legal codes proved a potent source of innovation : German game designers began to invent a wholly new style of game that looked nothing like those commonly enjoyed in the English-speaking world . ( Image credit : Benjamin Abbott ) It 's hard to trace a single game that 's progenitor for this style , but translated examples began to appear in the early ' 90s . One such example that generated a bit of a bow wave is Adel Verpflichtet , a hard to translate title that has been republished in English as Hoity Toity , By Hook or by Crook , and Fair Means or Foul . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guessing game in which you get an edge by correctly anticipating whether your opponents are buying antiques at an auction room or squirreling them away at their mansion . But while these little glimpses of the forthcoming explosion were fun and novel , one game was waiting in the wings to kickstart the revolution . That game was Settlers of Catan , and it got its English release in 1996 . Now known simply as Catan , it changed board games forever . The game used the probability curve of two dice to decide which hexes on a randomly-constructed island would generate a resource . Players with settlements next to the productive hex would get the associated resource , which they could spend on expanding their network of roads and villages , securing more resources and , hopefully , eventually winning the game . It was noteworthy for a whole series of genius moves , chief amongst them being a brilliant combination of considered strategy with enough red-blooded interaction to excite those more used to conflict-driven games . While there was no actual fighting , securing key spots and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of play , as was hard-driving negotiation over resource trading . Toward the end of the 20th century , it felt like Catan was everywhere , but in truth its influence was only just beginning . In the early years of the new millennium , designers from all over Europe and America began to cross-pollinate this new style of play with the more aggressive , random games familiar to English-speaking audiences . The result was a smorgasbord of delectable novelty , leading to an apex in the mid to late noughties of outstanding designs , a golden age of quality which has yet to be beaten by our current golden age of quality and popularity . A few games from this era are particularly noteworthy , either for their success or their impact on wider design culture . In the former camp we 've got the unstoppable freight train that is 2005 's Ticket to Ride , leveraging the familiar set collection of Rummy in the aid of grabbing train routes on a map , an addictive combination that 's steamed into a mass-market smash . Ticking both @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ together to save the world from a plague of horrible diseases . It did n't invent the cooperative model , but it simplified and popularized it , proving a big hit with hobbyists and family play alike and launching dozens of imitators . Early followers were not that great but , over time , co-op design has advanced to the point where current cooperative board games have eclipsed the original , at least for enthusiast players . ( Image credit : Benjamin Abbott ) Another trend-setter from 2008 that 's been even more superseded by its imitators is Dominion . Owing a clear debt to another gaming juggernaut that we 've skipped , largely because it 's a hobby and a history in its own right -- Magic : the Gathering -- Dominion tried to take the deck creation aspect of that collectible game and turn it into a game in its own right . You 'd start with a bare-bones deck and use those cards to buy better cards to shuffle which , in turn , gave you the opportunity for even bigger swing turns . Now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ took over the entire hobby . Dominion itself , however , feels rather dry and repetitive in retrospect . Following designers took the concept and blended it with other mechanics to create much more interesting games . While the sheer pace and breadth of innovation on display in this time could n't possibly be sustained , there have been a couple of noteworthy attempts in more recent years . In 2011 we got the first legacy game in the form of Risk : Legacy . Not only was this an excellent overhaul of that rather creaking classic , it invented the idea of each set launching a unique campaign for the players , with the results of each session feeding into the next to the point of players renaming continents on the board with permanent markers , destroying cards and using stickers to make irreversible changes to the components . At the end of a Risk : Legacy campaign , your game was entirely unique , allowing you to carry on playing on your own personalized set . The concept has been ported to many other games , including @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other people or not , a game provides a way to engage . If you know the rules you do n't even necessarily need to speak the same language Richard Garfield , creator of MTG & King of Tokyo More recently , there have been a slew of games that incorporate a digital app , starting with a tabletop adaptation of the XCOM series from 2015 . These are mostly cooperative games in which the app is used to plan and conduct enemy turns , sometimes with added bells and whistles , such as the narrative stylings of Descent : Legends of the Dark and the puzzles of Lord of the Rings : Journeys in Middle-Earth . The use of apps in board games is divisive , with some purists feeling that it risks obsolescence , and spoils the tactile and social pleasures afforded by physical game play . Current board game releases are dominated increasingly by big Kickstarter campaigns , often with lavish stretch goals for extra content or cool miniatures . It 's a landscape that 's launched a lot of fine titles but which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ work from auter designers like Cole Wehrle and Amabel Holland , it feels like the glut of titles that we 've been enjoying have been treading water in terms of moving the medium forwards . But , just like waiting to see what your opponents will do in a board game , part of the pleasure of studying the history of board games is the anticipation of wondering what might come next . For all we know , the next chapter of game design could be just a box flip away . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'runs out of' which is a phrasal verb indicating depletion, not a transitive out of -ing construction. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the interpretation is neither movement/extraction nor prevention.

This week : See what all the fuss is about with The Lincoln Lawyer , or go back to basics with The Office GQ 's best Netflix series guide is updated weekly . Look , we 've all been there : settling in for a night on the sofa , a dinner losing heat by the second on our laps as we scroll aimlessly through Netflix trying to find something to watch , our eyes glazing over as the little TV series icons zip past one by one . It 's classic choice paralysis -- when there 's so much at your fingertips , where do you even begin ? At this point , Netflix basically has anything to suit your needs , whether it 's sports documentaries that make you feel like you are n't slowly becoming one with the cushions around you , or true crime shows that will compel you to triple-check the locks on your doors before you go to sleep . To save you some trouble , we 've put @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whether it 's brand new and you fancy being ahead of the curve or it 's that show you absolutely know you should have watched by now but , you know , life , man . New this week : See what all the fuss is about with The Lincoln Lawyer , or go back to basics with The Office . And if you 're more into Amazon Prime , Apple+ or Disney Plus , then check out our guides . Keri Russell stars as a no-nonsense warzone specialist ( is there such a thing as a " nonsense " warzone specialist ? One hopes not ) who reluctantly lands a prestigious though , as far as she 's concerned , kind of superficial role as the American ambassador to the UK . But managing one side of the " special relationship " does n't turn out to be quite as smile-and-wave-y as she 'd assumed . Reviews for the second season of the political drama are even stronger than they were for the first , and the third seems sure to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Netflix . 2/75 Channel 5 's hit documentary has come to Netflix this week and gone straight to number one on their most-watched TV chart . It 's about a man whose wife 's abusive behaviour over a 20-year period was eventually halted by its capture on nanny cameras inside their home . The abuse is both physical and verbal , and also takes the form of controlling behaviour -- forcing him to take out loans to pay for holidays and threatening to make false allegations to the police if he leaves . It 's a compelling ( if challenging ) watch . You can watch My Wife , My Abuser : Captured on Cameraon Netflix . Day of the Jackal comes out soon , and it 's absolutely banging . It 's been adapted from the novel by writer Ronan Bennett , who made his name in TV circles with Top Boy , the London gang drama acclaimed by critics , audiences , people actually from the area it 's set in and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ themselves . Gritty , gripping realism mixed in with high drama and even higher stakes makes for a heady cocktail of televisual excellence . You can watch Top Boy on Netflix . 4/75 In 2004 , the Boston Red Sox , aka that one baseball team even you have heard of , broke a curse that had been reigning over them since 1918 and finally won the world series . This is a genuinely remarkable story of perseverance and the pursuit of excellence , told through archive footage and extensive interviews with the players and coaches involved . If you liked The Last Dance , you 'll like this . You can watch The Comeback : 2004 Boston Red Sox on Netflix . It 's a show about a lawyer in LA who gets driven around in a Lincoln Continental .

Check him out ! You can watch The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix . Everett Collection Inc / Alamy Stock Photo 6/75 The Australian one 's just come out , what more reason do you need to revisit one of the greatest sitcoms of all time ? The US version follows the mould of the original in focusing on the mundanities of sleepwalking through a 9-5 you are n't particularly passionate about surrounded by people who seem infuriatingly willing to accept their lot in life . It 's not better than the original , but it is a hell of a lot longer -- nine seasons instead of a measly two -- and it 's probably a slightly easier watch . They go lighter on the cringe and , eventually , heavier on the character likability . By the end you 'll kind of feel like -- this is n't sad -- these people are your friends . Because you 've spent so much time with them and gotten to know them so well . It is n't sad . You can watch @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Peep Show Everyone 's loving David Mitchell in Ludwig , so why not go back to where it all began for him , playing that dweeby guy from your year at school in Peep Show . Mark ( that guy ) and Jez live together dysfunctionally and often disgracefully as the former attempts ' normal ' life alongside the latter 's stubborn refusal to succumb to the draw of participating in society as expected . It 's two weird guys living their terrible lives together in hilariously awkward fashion is what it is . It 's great . You can watch Peep Show on Netflix . Back for its fourth season and straight back to being the most popular thing on Netflix , the show follows two groups of teenagers competing for lost treasure on the outer banks of North Carolina . A bit Peter Pan , a bit Stand By Me , a bit Skins , there 's nothing like a good old adventure and nothing like some teenagers to embark on that adventure just-irresponsibly enough that plenty will go wrong along the way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wild goose chase with all your buddies . But you probably should n't . Unless ... You can watch Outer Banks on Netflix . Courtesy of Netflix 9/75 A basketball doc starring LeBron James , with the Obama-helmed Higher Ground and James himself involved behind the scenes , is probably going to struggle not to be fairly decent at worst . James and four other starring basketball players are followed through the highs and lows of a full season of professional basketball in a way that introduces the sport and the NBA to an unfamiliar audience but will also hold plenty of behind-the-scenes intrigue for more knowledgeable fans . You can watch Starting 5 on Netflix . BBC 10/75 Watching kids point out how nonsensical various aspects of our stupid adult lives that we take for granted are is a sure way to put a solid dent in your pride . But that 's probably good for a person every now and then -- and it 's exactly what Outnumbered offers , wrapped up in a pretty package of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ play London-based parents struggling to shepherd their kids into school and homework and all the various things their lives ask of them , often with great difficulty . Relatable if you either have a child , or have ever been one . You can watch Outnumbered on Netflix . Ali Goldstein/Netflix 11/75 A crying shame that it only got three seasons , but what seasons they were . Marc Maron does his Marc Maron thing as real-life-man David McLane , who started a real-life female-only wrestling franchise called Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling ( GLOW ) in 80s LA and recruited a cast of novices as his stars , played here by Alison Brie , Betty Gilpin and friends . They face the sorts of obstacles you imagine they might , and overcome them with the sort of gusto you 'd imagine they would , but it all rollicks along with enough pace and pop from the costumes , the personalities and the wrestling action that you 're pretty guaranteed to have a pretty good time . You can watch GLOW on Netflix . Netflix @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wanted a romcom about a blossoming romance between a rabbi and a sex-and-dating podcast host . But here we are and , turns out , we did . Kristen Bell and Adam Brody spark off each other like a pair of dodgy wires in a series that reminds us why the genre has seen so much success in the past -- flirting is about being funny . These guys are funny . Everyone else in the series -- genuinely everyone -- is funny too , which helps . Looks out for the big goofy brother . You can watch Nobody Wants This on Netflix . Netflix 13/75 This series is controversial in ways it wanted to be , and ways it did n't . It charts the life and times of an extremely divisive figure -- WWE mogul Vince McMcahon -- as he rises from impoverished and abusive childhood to being at the helm of one of the biggest brands in entertainment , with help from interviews with McMahon himself and some of the biggest names in WWE history . It does confront the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of this year , when McMahon was sued for sex trafficking and more by a former WWE employee , but arguably not comprehensively enough . Or does it ? The history it gives of the WWE is entertaining enough to make it worth watching in its own right , so watch it for that and make your own mind up about the rest . You can watch Mr McMahon on Netflix . Channel 4 14/75 A group of girls in 90s , end-of-troubles Derry whose contention with the trials and tribulations of 90s teenage girildom is complicated by the pesky civil war going on outside . The show that made a star of Nicola Coughlan is strangely fascinating , occasionally moving and constantly hilarious . Fun for all the family . You can watch Derry Girls on Netflix . Beth Dubber/Netflix 15/75 Kind of like an American equivalent of the BBC 's quite lovely The A-Word , Atypical features as its main character an autistic schoolboy whose family are figuring out as they go along how to cope with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ main character Sam 's experience while also delving into how his parents and sister are affected by and affect his autism . Every character is a flawed person trying their best , and that 's why it 's good . If you recognise the Dad it 's because he 's Phoebe 's cop boyfriend from Friends who she dumps after he shoots a bird . You 're welcome . You can watch Atypical on Netflix . Netflix 16/75 When Heartstopper first came out , it was one of a kind : a sweet but engaging LGBTQ coming-of-age tale based in Britain that does n't feel excessively bleak . A third season is soon to arrive , and promises to be more adult -- and surprisingly steamier -- than the first two , as it takes in the maturation of both the boys at the centre of the show ( played by Joe Locke and Kit Connor ) and their blossoming relationship . In the meantime , read all about the new lives of Locke and Connor in their recent GQ Hype profile . You can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Terminator Zero Critics have gone hard for this anime take on the Terminator franchise . It 's the first thing in the series to get roundly decent reviews since Terminator 3 . Are we surprised ? Not really . A gritty , gnarly sci-fi franchise about apocalyptic robots and killer AI was always going to feel at home in Japanese animation ( see : anything by Satoshi Kon , or indeed dystopian gross-out classic Akira ) . The gist ? It 's 1997 , Judgement Day is yet to come , and a mad scientist in Tokyo is working on an AI system to rival Skynet . Such is why one of Skynet 's cyborg assassins ( read : a Terminator ) arrives from the future to hunt him down . But do n't worry ! A human soldier has also travelled back in time to protect him . You can watch Terminator Zero on Netflix . 18/75 Midnight Mass is a very weird show , but it 's all the better for it . Written by Mike Flanagan , who has become synonymous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Hill House and The Midnight Club , it concerns an isolated island community that is shook by the arrival of a mysterious priest . He 's played by character actor Hamish Linklater in a phenomenal turn , all fire and brimstone -- but it turns out he 's harbouring a secret that will come back to bite him ( and everyone else in town ) . No spoilers ! A greatly underrated gothic horror gem . You can watch Midnight Mass on Netflix . 19/75 So far , this one 's drawn predictable controversy for depicting its titular subjects -- a pair of L.A. twins who shotgunned their parents to death in the ' 90s -- as , checks notes incestuous lovers . Such is the salacious , tabloid style of this prime Ryan Murphy guilt-watch , which recalls the lives of Lyle and Eric Menendez , their infamous parricide , and the courtroom aftermath . The reviews suggest that if you liked Dahmer , you 'll probably be a big fan of this ; if you found @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well , godspeed . You can watch Monsters on Netflix . Netflix 20/75 A World Cup . Two Copa Am ? ricas . Titles aplenty in France , Spain , and Portugal . Places in some of the best footballing squads in recent memory : Real Madrid with Cristiano Ronaldo , Karim Benzema , Gareth Bale and Luka Modric ; PSG with Kylian Mbapp ? , Neymar and Edinson Cavani . He was also at Manchester United for a bit . And so Netflix have made Di Maria the latest subject of one of their shiny footballer docuseries ' following similar portraits of David Beckham and P ? le , touring the life and career of a winger who has done it all . You can watch Angel Di Maria : Breaking Down the Wall on Netflix . Netflix 21/75 Netflix have made true crime their whole bag , but they also pump out political melodramas like they 're going out of fashion . Call it the House of Cards effect . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and also asks more of our suspension of disbelief , centring on the sole surviving member of Congress -- played like the virtuous hero of an Aaron Sorkin film by Kiefer Sutherland -- in the wake of a massive terrorist attack that sees him ascend to the Oval Office overnight . It 's surprisingly fun , given the glum premise . But it 'll never happen IRL . Right ? You can watch Designated Survivor on Netflix . Justin Downing/Netflix 22/75 Jeff Goldblum , stalking around Mount Olympus in designer tracksuits , all despotic and toddler-esque , plays a Zeus who goes a bit off on one after a prophecy of his downfall seems to start coming true . An expansive series that twists a few different narratives together across the heavens , the earth and the underworld , incorporating plenty of proper ancient Greek myth along the way . It 's a spacier , weirder Percy Jackson for adults , basically . With Jeff Goldblum . You can watch KAOS on Netflix . 23/75 A murder mystery @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American elites -- so it 's good ' n ' exciting and nice to look at . With a cast led by Nicole Kidman and including the likes of Liev Schreiber and Eve Hewson ( excellent in her own right in Bad Sisters -- second season incoming ) , this always stood a good chance of succeeding as a series . Pair that cast with a pacy plot and it 's nigh-on inevitable . No. 1 show on Netflix right now ? Duh ! You can watch The Perfect Couple of Netflix . 24/75 Brassic has been around for a while , but it 's only recently been added to Netflix . And if that finally brings it to the wider audience it so sorely deserves , then all will be well in the world . Creator and lead star Joe Gilgun made his name in the outstanding This is England , which whose creator Shane Meadows once described it as " Ken Loach with laughs . " Brassic , which follows a group of ordinary lads in a northern village getting by on a series @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ laughs . That 's a lotta laughs ! You can watch Brassic on Netflix . 25/75 It 's in the name . This series is gentle . Or at least it 's as gentle as a series about murder investigations can be . There 's nothing quite like a good detective drama to settle down to as the darker , colder nights come in , and no one does them better than the BBC . Set in a lovingly-rendered 1960s north-east of England and just arrived in the land of Netflix , this is your cosy autumn and winter viewing sorted . You can watch Inspector George Gently on Netflix . 26/75 Umbrella Academy is about a group of adopted siblings with superpowers who come together to figure out who killed their dad , and also stop the end of the world . Not to be insensitive , but you 'd really want them to be devoting a lot more of their time and energy to the latter than the former , would n't you ? It 's a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , with season 4 having been confirmed as the final one for Umbrella Academy . Get it while it 's hot . You can watch Umbrella Academy on Netflix . 27/75 A good bit of silly fun based on a book with an absolute banger of a premise -- two women meet at a grief support therapy group . They become friends , but one does n't realise that the other is the cause of her grief , having killed her husband in a hit-and-run incident . An absolute stonker of a time bomb that ticks excruciatingly throughout the series . I wo n't tell you whether or not it goes off . You can watch Dead to Me on Netflix . 28/75 The episodes in the first series of this show chronicling particularly egregious instances of corporate greed are about the kinds of things you 'd expect -- the Volkswagen emissions scandal , HSBC 's ties to Mexican drug cartels , Donald Trump , a Canadian maple syrup heist ... ah yeah , there 's one about a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ too , but ... you 've got ta watch the one about the Canadian maple syrup heist . You can watch Dirty Money on Netflix . 29/75 Rob Delaney -- maybe the most huggable man on TV ? His right-on politics , his big cuddly frame , his incredibly moving book about the death of his young son . You just want to squeeze the guy . London-based teacher Sharon Horgan gives his travelling American salesman character a special grown-up kind of squeeze at the beginning of catastrophe , and when she decides to keep the resulting baby , he moves to London to help her raise it . What follows is several seasons of gentle comedy interlaced with carefully-judged moments of drama . ( It 's a dramedy , to use the modern parlance . ) So sometimes some angry shouting , as well as hugs . But it 's ok . It 's Rob Delaney ! You can watch Catastrophe on Netflix . 30/75 How does she get so high ? There are other , deeper questions at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one you 're going to be asking the most often . As we 've just seen in her gold-medal-winning display in the Olympics , Biles can jump and flip and twist like nobody 's business . As well as being a study of her extraordinary talent , this series examines the life of the modern megastar athlete -- relentless social media criticism included . Biles is frank about how such cruelty from strangers has affected her mental health , and one gets the sense she might 've said yes to the series because it presented a chance to get the last word , and offer a more definitive perspective on her career than a few trolls on Twitter can offer . It 's an opportunity she deserves , and one she takes with typical success . You can watch Simone Biles Rising onNetflix . 31/75 I know , I know , another Black Death comedy . When will they stop ? This one 's different , I promise . A group of fancy uppity folk and their servants flee to a villa in Tuscany to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sex and arguments to help them pass the time . It 's a good bit of classic pandemic fun , helped along by Derry girl Saoirse-Monica Jackson and Sex Education 's Tanya Reynolds . You can watch The DecameronNetflix . 32/75 Toby Jones has got range . He 's played everyone 's favourite house elf ( Dobby ) , and everyone 's favourite activist postmaster , Alan Bates . What is this man 's specialty ? It 's like he spins a big wheel and just decides to play whatever the pointer lands on . Between Dobby and Alan Bates , it landed on Lance in Detectorists , a mild-mannered village Englishman with a nerdy hobby he 's very very into . It 's gentle watching for sure , but there 's something quite beautiful about it as a study of recreation , and the friendships it can maintain -- in this case , for Lance , with Makenzie Crook 's similarly nerdy Andy . They 're a lovely pair , and time spent in their televisual company is just very pleasant indeed . You can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dance How much is greatness worth ? That 's the question this series is asking . To Michael Jordan , it 's worth everything , so he 'll do anything to get it . To everyone around him , it 's still worth an awful lot , but perhaps not quite everything -- and therein lies the rub . The Last Dance chronicles the Chicago Bulls ' ascent to greatness in the 1990s , with Jordan the star of a supremely talented team of players who were supremely dedicated , but still at times not quite dedicated enough for his liking . A fascinating study of individual obsession , competitiveness and teamwork , all revolving around one of the greatest athletes of all time . You can watch The Last Dance on Netflix . 34/75 Just a very BBC sort of show . Tip-top cast playing some very hard-working very received pronunciation people at the heart of an immaculately competent script about some kind of scandalous intrigue . In this case , Ben Whishaw , Dominic West , Peter Capaldi and co starting up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ middle of the Cold War , and all arguing about how best to do it , with a murder thrown in . Spiffing ! You can watch The Hour on Netflix . 35/75 If you have n't seen Making a Murderer ... look it 's fine , just ... watch Making a Murderer . As well as being probably the original true crime documentary series and a massively gripping story of a rural Wisconsin man ( who has previously been wrongfully imprisoned for sexual assault and attempted murder ) ' s trial for another murder he 's absolutely insistent he did not commit , Making a Murderer can probably also lay a claim to being responsible for a big part of why confessions made under police questioning are no longer treated with the same impeachability they once were . Book a day off work . You 'll struggle to stop once you 've started . You can watch Making a Murderer on Netflix . 36/75 Yes , he 's now this kind of annoying middle-aged guy giving a load of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ does n't know much about , but you have to give it to him ... Jerry Seinfeld 's show was revolutionary . Watching it now , it 's genuinely astonishing how strongly his brand of humour seems to have influenced all of us today . You 're watching it , you 're looking at everyone 's clothes and lifestyles and the release date of the episodes , and you 're really struggling to believe that this is a show that came out in the 80s and 90s . But it did ! Thankfully Netflix have worked some crazy magic that means we 're able to watch it now , in 2024 . And we should . You can watch Seinfeld on Netflix . 37/75 But it 's not always sunny in Philadelphia , I hear you say . I went there once , and it rained ! That 's the point , silly . The team behind the longest-running live-action American sitcom in history have admirably avoided glamourising their bottom-feeding bartenders as money and acclaim have come the way of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mac gets into incredible shape , he 's initially mocked for it in a season that then culminates in a stunning revelation of the precise necessity of his newly-muscled muscles . Always Sunny always has been and , one strongly suspects , always will be just a group of wrongun good-for-nothings continuing to do wrong and be good for nothing . Hilariously , I should add . You can watch It 's Always Sunny in Philadelphia on Netflix . 38/75 Sort of broke the mould , this one . Raphael Bob-Waksberg 's animated series about a washed-up actor who is also a horse started silly and smart and funny , and then added on dark and sometimes sad in a way that not a whole lot of people saw coming . Setting the series in a world inhabited by humanoid animals is an opportunity for puns that the show takes full advantage of , and along with some fantastic celebrity cameos they provide light relief when more serious themes of addiction , ambition and failure are explored . It 's not what you 'd expect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ better for it . You can watch Bojack Horseman on Netflix . 39/75 One of those documentary series that 'll have you googling everyone in it as soon as it ends ( but not before ! It 's for your own good ! ) , which is a testament to the investment Last Chance U puts into its characters . It follows a series of community colleges in the US that represent last chance saloons for teenage wannabe sports stars , who perhaps did n't get the grades they needed in high school to enter the college system , or made it to college but then dropped out and now need to get noticed for their abilities to get picked up again . College is pretty much the only path to professional American football or basketball ( the two sports the series focuses on ) , so getting there is everything to these kids , and often , to their desperately hopeful families as well . Heart-breaking and heart-making , you 'll want to give every last one a hug . You can watch @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wild Country What Wild Wild Country manages to do , through the range and depth of its interviews , is simultaneously convey the appeal and the dangers of a cult . It does , initially at least , seem kind of idyllic . A society within society is kind of a chance to start again , to free ourselves of everything that 's gone wrong with the way we run ourselves and try a new , better way . But to keep everyone invested in that new and better way you need a dogma , and that way danger lurks . All of this is explored as it pertains to the Rajneeshpuram community in 1980s rural Oregon with sensitivity and depth by Wild Wild Country . The highest compliment I can pay is that it just really makes you get it . You can watch Wild Wild Country on Netflix . 41/75 Here 's the premise of Netflix 's buzziest new show : Five black South Londoners develop superpowers . One of them , discovering via a trip to the future that his wife is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to save her . This new series is a mind-bending blend of social realism and fantasy , rooting its stories in South London and being black in the UK -- each of the newly-superpowered has a family history of sickle cell disease , which disproportionately affects black people , hence Supacell . It 's a tricky thing , to sprinkle a little Hollywood glitter on a place without obscuring its essential nature . But Rapman and an accompanying , hugely exciting cadre of talent have done just that here . You can watch Supacell on Netflix . 42/75 The sort of programme that 's tailor-made for annoying teenagers who think they 're just a little bit more complicated and interesting than everyone else . Still incredibly good though , mostly because of how perfectly it does actually capture the phenomenon of being the above-described kind of teenager . With some nasty violence and a mission to find an absent father thrown in to up the stakes a little , this good , weird TV show is absolutely worth a watch if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The End of the F***ing World on Netflix . 43/75 These adults ' development has indeed been arrested . ( Not criminally , just stopped . Hard to say where . Maybe somewhere in the early teen years ) . A masterclass in ridiculousness , the Bluth family and their Orange County socialite lifestyle exhibit the inherent farce of wealth and status so hilariously , you wo n't even know it 's happening ! Na but seriously , just a series that so perfectly judges the level of absurdity it demands from itself . Did you know it 's Ron Howard doing the voiceover ? It does n't matter if I knew . Tell the truth . Come on . You can watch Arrested Development on Netflix . 44/75 Everyone thinks The Bear came up with the idea of setting a slick and funny TV programme in America 's third-largest , first-windiest city of Chicago . Okay well maybe they do n't , but if you do then just know that they did n't , because Easy did it first . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ways in which a series of people have to deal with and relate to other people . Slightly more specifically , it examines how those relationships -- some romantic , some sexual , some neither -- are inflected with their contemporary context , in Chicago and on a broader societal level . It 's smart and intriguing and you should probably watch all 25 episodes as soon as you can . You can watch Easy on Netflix . 45/75 The mockumentary genre is lying on the ground , pale and still , blood sucked from its veins by the television-industrial complex . RIP . On reflection that 's maybe a little melodramatic -- but the format has definitely seen better days . We 're a far cry from The Office . Towards the end of those better days came American Vandal , and with it a fantastically silly couple of starting points that require American high-schoolers to catch the devious pranksters doing things like drawing penises everywhere and making everyone in the school cafeteria shit themselves . As with all great mockumentaries , it 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ straightness of the faces that 'll get you . Great work , kids . You can watch American Vandal on Netflix . 46/75 That fantastic little freak Tim Robinson has managed to put out three series of his sketch show now , and there are upsides and downsides to that . The upside is that there 's lots of his hilarious comedy to watch . The downside is that , for as long as the show goes on , an increasing proportion of your working vocabulary will be occupied by phrases from the show that you barely understand within their original context , and certainly do n't make any sense outside of it . The bones are their money . Shut up , Mike ! You can watch I Think You Should Leave on Netflix . 47/75 The two categories of people who really have to watch Better Call Saul are : 1 ) People Who Have Seen Breaking Bad and 2 ) People Who Have Not Seen Breaking Bad . So if you 're in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it . Bob Odenkirk will have you wanting to high-five and hug and punch and kick him , such is the range of his titular Saul , and add in some stellar work from Michael McKean , Rhea Seehorn and co and the quality becomes undeniable . You can watch Better Call Saul on Netflix . 48/75 It feels worth saying in advance that there 's no shame in crying at the last episode of Wrestlers , even if it 's like a dummy-deprived toddler . Yes it 's all fake , but it 's so , so real . The documentary series from the team behind Last Chance U follows Ohio Valley Wrestling , a Kentucky-based feeder franchise for the much more professional WWE where you can see " tomorrow 's superstars , today " , according to their American dream of a tagline . Here are wrestlers throwing each other bare-backed onto hundreds of drawing pins one day , and going to work as a waitress at the hotel across the street the next , all in the hopes of making it to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the way . You can watch Wrestlers on Netflix . Courtesy of Netflix 49/75 If you 've not seen Stranger Things , the prospect of getting stuck in rightnow probably feels a bit daunting -- like starting Game of Thrones in 2024 or posting your first TikTok . The upside down ? Human experimentation labs ? All those weird haircuts ? But listen , do n't be put off . You 're on your own journey and this thrilling , 1980s-set sci-fi is well worth a watch . You can watch Stranger Things on Netflix . 50/75 Before Euphoria , before Heartstopper , before Sex Education or whatever coming-of-age TV show that 's your most recent fave , there was Skins -- the influential 2000s British drama series that made Bristol look like the epicentre of hedonism . Sex , drink , drugs , eating disorders , mental health issues .... Skins tackled it all . It was also a hit factory of-sorts , birthing the likes of Dev Patel , Daniel Kaluuya , Hannah Murray , Kaya Scodelario @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ watch Skins on Netflix . 51/75 Dancing for the Devil : The 7M TikTok Cult , the new series from filmmaker Derek Doneen , feels a lot closer to home than your average cult documentary . Told from the perspective of former members who 've just left a group called 7M Management ( as in , they literally left during filming ) , alongside concerned family members of those involved , the three-part show dives into a group of TikTok dancers who are alleged to be under the control of a man called Robert Shinn . You can watch Dancing for the Devil on Netflix . 52/75 Benedict Cumberbatch is so back , baby . In Eric , he takes on a genre that Netflix has made its bread and butter in the crime thriller , portraying a children 's entertainer whose kid goes missing in dark , dank ' 80s New York . ( Think Tim Burton 's Gotham , or New York in an early Martin Scorsese movie . ) It 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anyone forgot that Cumberbatch is very , very good at what he does -- with a brilliant ensemble cast : Girls ' Gaby Hoffman , Ozark 's McKinley Belcher III and newcomer Ivan Morris Howe put in great shifts in a mystery cloaked by manhole steam . You can watch Eric on Netflix . 53/75 Not seen Beef ? Stop what you 're doing now -- I do n't care if you 're at work -- and get stuck into the best TV show to come out of last year ( there 's a reason it scooped up so many awards ) . The comedy-drama-thriller ( it 's everything ) begins with a road rage incident between two people ( played by Amy Lau and Danny Cho ) who , as you slowly find out , have their own reasons for being so angry and pent up . The incident spirals out of control , gaining a life of its own over 10 episodes , until the whole thing culminates in a wild , unexpected and oddly touching finale . You can watch Beef on Netflix @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ someone at least once : a partner 's ex , someone you 're going on a date with , that person from primary school who you randomly thought of in the middle of night and then could n't sleep until you found out what they look like now . But Joe Goldberg ( Penn Badgley ) in You takes internet stalking to , er , frighteningly psychopathic levels that even the most " that 's valid " among us would baulk at . The thriller series -- which is addictive as much as it 's absurd -- is said to be tying up its fifth and final season this year , so why not catch up or revisit its first four outings ? You can watch You on Netflix . Netflix 55/75 2020 was a weird year for , er , a lot of reasons , which meant that a lot of us were watching waaay more TV than we might usually . To that end , we do n't blame you if you missed out on The Queen 's Gambit , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you ca n't help but get behind . Refreshingly original and riveting in the same way a crime thriller might be , The Queen 's Gambit deserved every one of its 11 Emmy Awards . Luckily , you can steam the whole thing online ! You can watch The Queen 's Gambiton Netflix . 56/75 Netflix 's opening salvo in the original programming game came in 2013 : House of Cards and Orange is the New Black , two bonafide drama hits that would cement Netflix 's place in the content zeitgeist , changing the TV landscape for good . With its diverse ensemble , political consciousness and ample deployment of Natasha Lyonne -- before it was cool ! ! -- Orange has aged especially well , the humanist story of a woman 's prison with community at its core . Worth a rewatch . You can watch Orange is the New Black on Netflix . Netflix 57/75 It 's been a while since we 've had a good , meaty mini-series to sink @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from David E. Kelly ( Big Little Lies , Anatomy of a Scandal ) could n't have come at a better time . Based on a 1998 novel of the same name , the new drama focuses on an Atlanta real estate tycoon , Charlie Croker ( Jeff Daniels ) , who has to claw his way back to the top when his empire begins to crumble . Imagine Selling Sunset meets Succession , but set in the late ' 90s . You can watch A Man in Full on Netflix . Netflix 58/75 If you 're missing slickly-produced dystopian dramas about people doing insane , extreme things for cash , then new Korean drama The 8 show could be just the ticket . The premise is as follows : eight financially desperate participants enter a game show where they must be trapped in an eight-story building and earn money as time passes . Obviously , though , it 's not as simple as that , and grotesque , violent shenanigans follow . " The series is about the formation of power dynamics @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ director Han Jae-rim said at a press conference . You can watch The 8 Show on Netflix . LIAM DANIEL/NETFLIX 59/75 The Ton 's next social season has landed . As with the last two seasons , this time we 'll be planting our flag with another Bridgerton sibling , Colin ( Luke Newton ) , and his **28;3274;TOOLONG relationship with Penelope ( Nicola Coughlan ) , who is secretly the town 's chief gossip , Lady Whistledown . As ever in this costume drama for people who do n't like costume dramas , you can expect heavy breathing beneath corsets , plenty of turns around the garden , stolen snogs and more . You can watch Bridgerton on Netflix . 60/75 In a small Irish town , a young woman who is , for some reason , obsessed with death lands her dream job : an obituarist for the local newspaper . Except , when she runs out of interesting deaths to write about , she starts , er , murdering the locals . Fair enough , really , when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . It 's a darkly funny premise for an even funnier TV show that 's definitely worth a watch if you 're a fan of other black comedies done well , like Bad Sisters and The Dry . You can watch Obituaryon Netflix . Ed Miller/Netflix 61/75 If you go down the pub , chances are , someone will still have a strong opinion about Baby Reindeer . The series -- which is a dark comedy ( emphasis on the dark ) based on star and creator Richard Gadd 's real experience with a stalker - has topped the streamer 's weekly chart and even cracked the US one as well . Adapted from Gadd 's one-man Edinburgh Fringe show that left audiences wondering if they 'd booked the wrong comedy festival , the show fleshes out a story that 's as much about self-loathing as it is about harassment from the outside world . Do n't miss it , but be prepared for some harrowing scenes . You can watch Baby Reindeer on Netflix . Courtesy of Netflix 62/75 63/75 Looking for an ambitious , big budget , cerebral sci-fi series to get stuck into this weekend ? Then look no further than 3 Body Problem , the new show from David @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Thrones , plus Alexander Woo . The eight-episode series is quite hard to explain in just a few words -- especially if you 've not read the Liu Cixin trilogy it 's based on -- but I 'll try . It 's essentially about a group of scientists trying to prevent a huge existential event -- an alien invasion -- that will threaten mankind 400 years into the future ( a long time away , yes , but there 's no time like the present ) . If there 's one series that people are talking about this week , it 's probably this one , so watch to stay ahead of the curve . You can watch 3 Body Problem on Netflix . 64/75 Over 14 episodes , One Day , based on the David Nicholls best-seller of the same name ( and , crucially , way better than the 2011 film adaptation ) will have you cycling through every single emotion -- from swooning to soul-crushing sadness . It follows Emma and Dex who , after fumbling through an almost one-night stand on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lives for the next twenty years as unlikely best friends who are sometimes less and sometimes more . More than just a love story ( though that is the reason for the season ) , One Day is a journey through the relatable roadblocks of ageing into adulthood . You can watch One Day on Netflix . 65/75 Ever fantasised about accidentally hooking up with a celebrity and then getting swept along in their crazy , weird life ? In Starstruck , comedian Rose Matafeo brings the vision to life as she plays Jessie , a girl meandering through life in London , who ends up in an unlikely relationship with Tom , one of the buzziest actors in the world . If you fancy yourself a romcom connoisseur , you 'll be punching the air over how many classic references Matafeo has snuck in . While there 's discourse brewing about the failed state of romcoms , Starstruck is a great entry into its TV canon that offers something perfectly modern . You can watch Starstruck on Netflix . 66/75 Hannibal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's first villain in Casino Royale -- as the eponymous slasher-sophisticate , in a new adaptation of Thomas Harris ' novels . This one sticks closer to the text and , like all prestige TV in the 2010s , is viciously bloody , pulling no punches with its graphic gore and brutal butchery ( think Saturday Kitchen but with human corpses ) . Notably one of those shows canned right at its peak , as far as the fans are concerned . But at least what we 've got is as lean as a chunk of forearm . You can watch Hannibalon Netflix . BBC 67/75 Props to Jamie Dornan for single-handedly choosing to wreck his Fifty Shades of Grey hunky image by playing possibly one of the most grotesque serial killers to ever grace the small screen . The Fall stars Dornan as an insidious predator , stalking and killing women in Belfast , and Gillian Anderson as the detective assigned to try and catch him . Far from the sleek and curated world of American crime dramas of similar note , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the painful pouring over evidence and , sometimes , the sheer banality of evil . You can watch The Fall on Netflix . Everett Collection 68/75 Now they 're the head honchos of an alcohol empire in Dos Hombres Mezcal , but Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul first bumped heads on a little AMC drama called Breaking Bad , the finale of which somehow aired a decade ago this year -- is that a grey hair ? It more than stands up on rewatch . You 'd be hard pressed to find a grippier story to binge , aside from the likes of The Sopranos and The Wire ( the other GOATs ) , in Walter White 's ascent and fall from chemistry teacher , to regional drug baron , to spoiler ! . Many have made the argument that its final half-season is the greatest ever . We have few counterpoints . You can watch Breaking Bad on Netflix . 69/75 If time loops are your thing , then it does n't get much more timey-wimey-loopy-doopy than Bodies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the series follows four detectives across four different time periods who find a body - the same body - in the same place . Somehow , all their lives are linked despite the decades between them , and it might have something to do with a wealthy aristocrat ( played by Stephen Graham ) who seems to be in every era too . You can watch Bodies on Netflix . 70/75 The British uni experience is a rich tapestry of regrettable hook-ups , off-brand vodka and houses full of potential black mould that we would mostly like to forget . But that experience is so perfectly evoked in Fresh Meat , created by Peep Show and Succession alum Jesse Armstrong . Take a trip into the truly gross lives of these Manchester freshers , made up , in part of Jack Whitehall and Zawe Ashton . You 'll be craving a snakebite by the end , no doubt . You can watch Fresh Meat on Netflix . 71/75 It 's an almost-commendable feat if you 've managed to avoid Peep @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Channel 4 , centres on dysfunctional flatmates Mark ( David Mitchell ) and Jez ( Robert Webb ) -- whose lives you see through their own eyes -- as they get into excruciatingly awkward situations . Written by Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong -- the man behind Succession -- it contains an unending supply of brilliant , insane , and forever quotable quips . You can watch Peep Show on Netflix . Netflix 72/75 Charlie Brooker 's phenomenal Black Mirror originally premiered on Channel 4 back in 2011 but moved to Netflix in 2015 , where it 's lived in cynical . digital nihilism ever since . An anthology series , each episode tells a unique , usually terrifying story , often set in a near-future and featuring spooky , dystopian tech . You can watch Black Mirror on Netflix .

The groundbreaking drama follows the residents of the fictional Summerhouse estate and the drug dealers at war to control the area . Having just wrapped up its fifth and final season , there 's no better time to dive in . A masterful reflection of the ultraviolent and the everyday , Top Boy is a rich addition to British drama .

In fact , it 's something of a necessity , according to David Gigli , President of the National Craft Butchers association .

Accuracy and speed are the most important factors and a good meat probe thermometer should give you an accurate reading within a few seconds , and ideally within 0.5-1 ? C. While not essential , it 's always handy for a thermometer to have a wide temperature range if you 're going to use it for things other than meat . Then , based on your preferences you should look at the readability and display functionality of the thermometer . Is it back-lit , easy to read , and has clear numbers ? Some models also rotate making it easy to read from different positions .

Vicky testing meat thermometers on a 1.6kg beef joint We chose a range of digital meat thermometers from ? 6 to ? 99 , and included wired , instant-read and smart thermometers . I tested the meat thermometers on two same-sized 1.6kg joints of topside of roast beef , and medium-sized chicken breasts . The top criteria I was looking for was accuracy of temperature , and I ensured this by checking the temperature of every thermometer against a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quick the thermometers reached the correct temperature , and how readable and easy to use the thermometers were . Second to that I was looking at how they 'd fare in a domestic kitchen , looking at ease of storage , potential durability , whether they were oven and water safe , and of course the value . If you love cooking meat , and you love owning all the cool kitchen gadgets , you will have a lot of fun with this meat thermometer . The Meater+ is a wireless , smart meat thermometer with two sensors within the probe to monitor both internal meat temperature and ambient temperature . Once inserted into your meat it estimates how long you need to both cook and rest your food , keeping you updated through its nifty companion app . It comes in a neat bamboo box as its charging station , that also comes with a built-in Bluetooth booster , meaning it extends the range up to 50m away , so you 're not chained to your oven . The set-up was easy . Once I 'd registered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from there . It gives you the option to choose what meat you 're cooking , how well-cooked you 'd like it to be and what you 're cooking it on -- including oven , rotisserie , gas grill and even air fryer . You then simply insert the probe deep into the piece of meat and let the app do the rest of the work . This is not an instant-read thermometer and it took a while for the probe to register the estimated finishing time , but I love that it factored in resting time too , meaning no more worrying about overcooked joints of meat . I loved how the app kept me completely up to date with notifications , and even a five-minute warning alarm for when my meat would be ready to take out the oven . And the results ? Cooked to perfection . I asked for medium-rare , and it was exactly that . It took the stress out of cooking it completely . The only drawback , if any , is that this probe is a meat thermometer only , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the kitchen . Plus , the probe is on the chunkier side , so it leaves a big hole in the meat . Salter and Heston Blumenthal are both reputable names in the culinary world , so it 's no surprise that this instant-read thermometer was great to use . It has a good temperature range of -45 ? C to 200 ? C and promises to deliver an accurate reading in a matter of seconds . The accuracy and the speed of this thermometer were both excellent , giving me an accurate reading in a matter of seconds . Plus , it has a very user-friendly design , with a backlit interface if you 're cooking somewhere dimly lit . I appreciated that the probe was extremely slim so that , when inserting it into the beef , it minimised any juice loss . This is very important when cooking large joints . My biggest criticism was the set-up of the thermometer , which took ages to get the button battery into place . But that 's a minor gripe , all-in-all this probe was a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tag for the quality of product you get . If you peek into most professional kitchens , it 's likely they 'll use a Thermapen . This instant-read thermometer promises to help you cook with ' chef-grade precision ' , with a ? 0.3 ? C accuracy and fast , one-second readings . There 's no on or off button . It simply comes to life when you open the probe and turns itself off once it 's shut again ( or after a while of not using it ) . I also enjoyed that it flipped the screen round depending on what angle you have it inserted at . It also feels nice and chunky to hold , but folds away petitely , meaning it does n't take up too much space in the drawer . Thermapens are individually calibrated by hand and come with certification to prove this , meaning you can feel safe in the knowledge that the reading is accurate . It was by far the winner in terms of delivering an extremely quick , and precise reading . Thermapen does n't offer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ counterparts , but it 's by far the best all-rounder in terms of using it for other foods like fish , jam-making and oil . This compact meat thermometer has a fold-away design which keeps the probe safe , a range of -50 ? C to 300 ? C and great accuracy . These handy thermometers are particularly convenient for professional kitchens , or those working in a food safe environment thanks to the colour coding . Available in five different colours ( white , blue , yellow , red and purple ) it allows you to keep thermometers separate based on what you 're cooking to avoid cross-contamination . It 's slim and ergonomic and I appreciate that the stainless-steel probe is long enough to safely measure hot or deep food items without the worrying of burnt hands . The probe is also sharp and durable , allowing it to easily puncture foods for accurate internal readings without damaging the surface of meats . Considering its price tag , its range is excellent , and I ca n't really complain about any aspects of it , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 15 seconds roughly , meaning it works best once the meat has been removed from the heat as opposed to opening the oven and taking a quick read . However , it 's petite and great to carry in your pocket or pop into your drawer . It 's fair to say that Ninja is a brand with a huge fan community , thanks to its range of products from air fryers to pizza ovens . So it was only a matter of time before it launched its own smart meat thermometer to rival the ever-popular Meater . Another meat thermometer that 's wireless and requires an app , the ProChef allows you to monitor cooking times from your phone . It offers real-time temperature tracking with great accuracy , and includes preset temperature guides , although I felt it was more geared towards American users with some of its wording . The app is easy to use and the probe is easy to set up . I did have some connectivity issues when trying to originally set up , but this did n't persist . You @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it 's not as fast as other instant-reads I tested ; however , it did give me a slightly quicker reading than other smart thermometers I tested . The huge draw to this particular smart meat thermometer is if you 're an existing Ninja fan , as it allows you to monitor based on what Ninja product you could be using from its range of ovens , air fryers and outdoor grills , which is pretty clever if you own some of these products already . You do n't need to own any of them for it to still work effectively . The OXO Good Grips thermometer is part of The Chef 's Precision line , meaning it has been designed to offer professional-grade results for at-home cooks . It 's small , ergonomic and easy to hold . The instant-read gave a quick reading in a few seconds and it was relatively accurate . I liked how big the display was , making it easy to read , and the pivoting head allows you to rotate the display to read at a better angle . It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ setting , although it does have a hold button meaning it freezes the temperature , which is particularly useful if you 're measuring while the food is still in the oven and you ca n't read the display . It comes with basic temperatures printed on the protective cover , but in very small font , although still useful . Its temperature range only goes up to 150 ? C , perfect for meat , but not useful for things such as heating oil , for example . Out of all the meat thermometers I tested , I feel this one felt the flimsiest and would most likely break in chaotic kitchens . I also feel that the probe was on the shorter side , which can be annoying if you 're trying to measure the temperature in a hot oven . But at this price , it 's a good buy . The KitchenAid thermometer is another popular brand and this is sleekly designed , with the promise of a six second response time and a-40 ? C to 250 ? C temperature range . One of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ backlit display , which allows for easy reading in dim or bright lighting . That 's especially useful for outdoor grilling at night or in poorly lit kitchens . The compact design also makes it easy to store in a kitchen drawer without taking up much space . It also comes with an automatic shut-off function to help conserve battery life . In terms of performance against other meat thermometers I tested , the KitchenAid thermometer certainly provided a fast and accurate reading within just a few seconds . It was also easy to wipe clean and compact to store . Unfortunately , it 's not waterproof , but it is splash resistant , and it 's constructed with KitchenAid 's commitment to quality , so built to withstand regular kitchen use . I like that it has a lifetime limited warranty in case of defects . All-in-all , while it just lost out against other meat thermometers I tested , I liked that it was back-lit and gave quick , accurate readings with a wide temperature range . The Polder Instant Read Digital Probe Kitchen Thermometer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ read in four seconds . It has a thin probe and a range of -45 ? C to 200 ? C. It 's also one of the less expensive thermometers we tested . This thermometer was very easy to use , with one button and a clear , digital display . To use , simply insert the probe into a thick part of the joint or a plump area of the bird , press the button and wait for the beep . Then you can remove the probe and read the result . I appreciate that the temperature stays on the screen until you reset it , so it wo n't disappear before you 've had time to check the temperature . It was quick and took around 4-5 seconds to read . However , I found that the temperature was n't as accurate as other thermometers , seeming to read slightly higher . However , bonus marks are that it came with temperature readings on its cover , which is also handy if you do n't know them from memory . To clean , you simply wipe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Thermometer has an exceptionally wide temperature range , with a minimum temperature of -5 ? C and an astoundingly high temperature of 1,100 ? C , which is above the melting point of copper and so seems a tad unnecessary . Unlike other non-smart meat thermometers , it comes programmed with six different meat options and measures , from rare to well done . You simply set to what you 're cooking and a beep will sound when it has met that temperature . This thermometer was quite difficult to get my head around the first try and it kept turning itself off on me , but after reading the instructions it was relatively easy to use . The temperature reading was pretty accurate . However , it took almost 20 seconds to get a reading . Against all the other meat thermometers I tested , this was the most disappointing in terms of its versatility . It has the programming options , but unlike the smart thermometers it does n't discreetly slot into the joint of meat while it 's cooking in the oven . Instead , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the oven and then it takes a long time to read . It also has two huge fork probes , meaning it leaves large holes in the meat . Honestly , I found it hard to look past just how bulky it is . It did n't fit into any of my kitchen drawers . I can see the two small plastic caps which protect the end of the probes easily getting lost in a busy kitchen . This is not an everyday meat thermometer , but is extremely handy if you 're cooking big joints of meat while cooking outside on an open grill . I liked that the two-prong design doubles up as a fork to help you carve meat . The most basic and cheapest of all the meat thermometers I tested , at a budget friendly ? 6 , this was the only wired one I tested . With a temperature range of up to 250 ? C for both the probe and the wire , it 's also quite heat-resistant , although would not be suitable if you 're using it in something @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ great about this thermometer is that it also doubles up as a kitchen timer ; you simply need to switch the button between the timer and cook modes on the back . To set the desired temperature , you use the buttons to go up and down , insert the probe and then it 'll beep when that temperature has been reached . The heat-resistant wire is long enough that you can insert the probe into the joint of meat , close the oven door and rest the display on the side . However , if you 're going to use it on a pizza oven , or barbecue , remember that it can only withstand temperatures under 250 ? C. While the wire is handy for this , it is quite annoying to store and it makes the product not particularly compact . However for ? 6 , can you really complain ? This thermometer also doubles up as a timer when not being used as a temperature probe and has a magnetic backing , so you can stick to your fridge if you like . All-in-all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it was n't as accurate as the others , it 's good for simple readings . When using a meat thermometer , you want to insert the probe into the thickest part of the meat , avoiding bone , fat , or gristle as this can lead to inaccurate readings . For thinner cuts of meat , like chicken breast , insert the thermometer from the side to reach the centre without pushing it all the way through , so that the end of the probe comes out the other side . While higher-end meat thermometers offer instant reads , for most you 'll need to wait until the temperature stabilises in order to get an accurate reading . If possible , check in a few spots to confirm . A good-quality meat thermometer should first and foremost have great accuracy , ideally no more than ? 0.5 ? C , and should also have a quick reading time of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ plenty of other beneficial features such as easy-to-read displays , auto on and off functionality and water resistance . When cleaning a meat thermometer you want to wipe immediately after use to avoid any build up of food particles , then use warm , soapy water and a damp cloth to scrub the probe . It 's important to not submerge digital thermometers in water as this can damage the internal electronics . You might also want to sanitise it . If your meat thermometer is water resistant , you can give it a rinse under running water . Some Bluetooth meat thermometers are dishwasher safe , but always check this before doing so . When you 're not using , it 's important to store your meat thermometer in a clean , dry place , and ideally in a protective case . Using a meat thermometer first and foremost ensures that your food is cooked to the right temperature , eliminating any bacteria @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flavour . Regularly using a meat thermometer helps to provide consistent , repeatable results across different cooking methods and saves time by giving an accurate reading without needing to cut into the meat . Additionally , it reduces food waste , especially with pricier cuts , and builds cooking confidence , making it a valuable tool for both beginners and experienced cooks . There are a variety of different meat thermometers to buy . The most popular choices are digital , instant-read thermometers that you use once the meat is out of the oven . There are then oven-safe thermometers -- ones that come with a wire , and wireless , smart versions . You can also purchase budget-friendly analogue displays which sit in the meat while it 's cooking . |

Indigenous peoples from all regions occupy Bras ? lia from 22 April 2024 , the 20th anniversary of Acampamento Terra Livre ( ATL ) - the largest indigenous mobilisation in the country . Image : Ag ? ncia Senado . Ag ? ncia Senado / Creative Commons 2.0 The movement power model of civil resistance can only succeed when its strategy informs and magnifies its tactics - its front line actions . The power of the Big Hairy Audacious Goal is that it gets you out of thinking too small ... and simultaneously creates a sense of urgency . The movement power model of organising mass protests on issues of major concern such as climate change provides a lot of high-level theory , but what can it tell us about actual grassroots campaigning ? The answer is : quite a lot . This is the eighth article in the Movement Power series from The Ecologist . The novel features of the hybrid method include the foregrounding of prophetic promotion and the centring of polarisation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Prophetic promotion could be reduced to the American aphorism ' fake it ' til you make it ' but is both more authentic and more complex . Relationships Polarisation is subdivided into four key factors : the demand , levels of sacrifice , movement ambassadors , and public relations . This provides a clear framework for activists to design their interventions -- from petitions to mass nonviolent direct action street protests . Activists are encouraged to develop a detailed plan for a cycle of momentum that moves through trigger events to moments of the whirlwind , in order to secure active popular support . The cycle of momentum is turbo-charged by the dual processes of prophetic promotion and polarisation . Jim Collins is quoted as advocating for a " Big Hairy Audacious Goal " ( BHAG ) for each proposed event : " The power of the Big Hairy Audacious Goal is that it gets you out of thinking too small . A great BHAG changes the time frame and simultaneously creates a sense of urgency . " This can otherwise be understood through the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ come . " This is the heart of prophetic promotion . Engler explains : " Prophetic promotion is talking about creating trigger events that occasionally lead to a moment of the whirlwind . These would include Seattle , Occupy and Black Lives Matter . There is so much polarisation that it creates a critical mass that means there is activity all around . You can not control if you create a moment of the whirlwind . " The use of prophetic promotion is described as a departure from the structure tradition of organising public campaigns . A trade union , as the classical example of a structure organisation , will develop relationships with its members and with partner organisations . This network will be activated for specific campaigns . Union Engler recalls : " The structure organisation was a machine . You could predict the number of people who would attend an action through these personal contacts . But the strength of the union was very much dependent on the enthusiasm and strength of the leadership at any time . " This is contrasted with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , environmentalist or anarchist circles at that time . Engler tells of his surprise when becoming engaged in student activism : " In the student activist and global justice movement mobilisation was done more like music or cultural promotion . There would be hype , there would be media stunts , and there would be actions . There were few interpersonal relations . " Saavedra describes how the DREAM Act campaign adopted prophetic promotion for its 2006 mobilisations . " We billed it as the largest civil disobedience in Los Angeles history for immigrants ' rights . We found ourselves in conflict with the unions and the established migrant organisations because they did not want to do prophetic promotion . " The approach proved a success . In March that year , 1.2 million people marched , and there was a general strike in May . " The amount of people we mobilised was insignificant compared to the ocean of people . Our red union shirts were just tiny little specks in a sea of white protester shirts . " The campaigners held strategy meetings and foregrounded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alive ? " Saavedra recalls : " We developed an action , to mobilise outside the structure . When we announced the action -- to shut down the corridor to the airport -- with immigration and union leaders , the media we got , just to announce this action , was greater than we usually get for an action itself . Ben Harper and Tom Morrello held a concert in the city . " Consciousness Saavedra adds : " The press was extreme . We had people coming to get arrested that were not from a structure . There was so much fear of it escalating too fast , how it might impact political relationships , that it was the first time where the union was calling people telling them to end the mobilisation . The mayor , the police , were scared we would create a city wide crisis and they would have to call the National Guard . " This puts you into the history books as one of the most epic actions not just for LA but for the entire nation . There were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but this was a huge accomplishment . There were 325 people who were arrested . We refused to let Ben Harper get arrested . " Activists should organise trigger events and invite the media . The times and dates of a future mass action should already be agreed . These can be promoted to the attendant reporters so that they form part of the reporting of the smaller initiating press stunt . " The trigger event can be small , and the movement can act to make it much bigger . " A trigger event can also be based on actual natural or political moments , or even just organised to coincide . Political events might include election campaigns , legislation , or scandals . Medicare for All and Obamacare became weather moments for health campaigns , and could also be extended to migration campaigns . This is especially true for environmental campaigns where , for example , extreme weather events will take place , which will get the attention of the media , who in turn will want to interview people on the ground . Engler @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . There are already trigger events that are happening in the environment . There are political , natural , social trigger events . Those things can be very influential to your movement . Katrina , Sandy had huge effects on the public consciousness of climate breakdown . But the most influence happens to the movements , when people capitalise on such events to funnel it into activity and structure . " Epic This is one reason the Seattle protests in 1999 proved so successful . The World Trade Organization ( WHO ) was already meeting in the city , and this would have generated significant coverage in the national media on its own . The fact that thousands of activists were planning to converge on the site and try to shut the conference down both leveraged and extended this media event . Engler recalls : " The WHO summit in Seattle -- that would be a New York Times national story . Because the spotlight was already on the summit , we would already get media coverage . We organised people to shut down the conference , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the whirlwind because protests at international summits followed for years to come . " Activists need to always develop action scenarios for a trigger event , and plan for any one to suddenly become a moment of the whirlwind . The concrete action plans should form a coherent real world manifestation of the movement DNA -- the theory of change and the grand strategy -- and those who take part should know and respect the principles . " The activists need to think about the action scenario , talk about the action scenario and explain how the action forms part of grand strategy and a clear theory of change . " The fundamental point is to capture the imagination of the public . Engler adds : " We need to design actions that will mean people want to be involved . Form your swarm around a provocative idea -- put your stick in the ground . Announce your goal . When you provide such a focus point , a swarm intelligence emerges . " Your goal must be tangible , credible , inclusive and epic . It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it needs to electrify people . Shoot for the moon . On second thoughts , do n't shoot for the moon , we have already been there . Shoot for Mars . You can only form a swarm around something that is epic . " Wizard Prophetic promotion must always be deployed alongside the strategy of polarisation . As discussed earlier in this series , the measures of success for the hybrid model of organising are " polarisation -- how much public support ; and organisational development -- how are people engaging with the movement , and is the movement capacity increasing ? " Engler argues : " Polarisation is the exact opposite of triangulation . You should be able to predict polarisation . You can become a wizard at this -- if you know the secrets , you can predict how polarisation would happen . " A good action therefore generates good polarisation around the issue of concern . " The actions should make people choose sides , and those that choose our side should be engaged and then moved up the ladder of engagement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ high levels of commitment , risk , and drama . Saavedra observes that there is very often a fear of escalation in structure-tradition organisations , and a fear of polarisation . " Holy crap , is the public going to like what we do ? " There is of course also bad polarisation . This is most obvious when the membership itself becomes alienated from a campaign . He explains : " Some people are going to move against the movement . We need to make sure we can get the majority of the people to support us . At the same time , the movement must build and deepen its base support . " Polarisation can be achieved using those four factors : the demand ; levels of sacrifice ; movement ambassadors ; and public relations . We will describe each briefly in turn . THE DEMAND Cesar Chavez , the American labour and civil rights activist who co-founded the National Farm Workers Association , would say : " We have another kind of power that comes from the justice of our cause . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the goal , setting a clear and achievable demand . People associate with the movement first and foremost because they identify with the cause . Activists supported Occupy Wall Street because it was fighting for the rights of the 99 per cent , and for equality . Most Latinos in the United States were in favour of the DREAM Act , as the benefits to millions within these communities were straightforward and obvious . Polling allows you to see whether the public is going to support the cause . The question needs also be asked how deeply they support the cause . Frank Luntz , a right wing strategist , uses " micropolling " , which measures attitudes of people within the base , the middle and the opposition to the campaign . Engler concludes : " You need to measure support , but you also have to measure how deeply they support you . " Activists should not abandon causes where there is little public support . Engler states : " The anti-war movement was actually unpopular and was under attack , for example for being unpatriotic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . What you can do , even on such issues , is pick specific things that the public will support -- for example , a campaign against waste or corruption in the military industrial complex . You can take an unpopular goal and break it down into demands that will be more popular . " SACRIFICE & DISRUPTION " Full effort is full victory , " Mahatma Gandhi said . Engler interprets Gandhi 's message as " With an endless capacity to suffer , victory is inevitable . " High sacrifice is , in the Gandhian school of nonviolence , one of the most important tools at the disposal of the activist . " What we sacrifice for , we elevate . " When people make deep sacrifices and they suffer -- being beaten up or going to prison -- they will gain popular support . In the civil rights movement , it was when people were being beaten by the police and this was being reported globally that people related to it . " If I go to prison , my mom instantly becomes an activist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ grounding assumption is that every time the participants in the movement are seen to make sacrifices for the cause , more people will want to join the movement . This is seen as an inevitable positive feedback loop . The aim of the action is to demonstrate high levels of sacrifice , or , as in the teachings of Martin Luther King , to " create a moral crisis " . This also feeds the media appetite for drama : " If it bleeds , it leads . " High disruption can force an issue onto the public agenda , and indeed force powerful actors in society to meet the demands of the campaign . However , it can also have an adverse effect on the campaign strategy of gaining active popular support . The key claim here is that " you can only have high levels of disruption if you have high levels of support for the demand , and you demonstrate high levels of sacrifice . " A lesson that Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil would need to confront a decade later was already being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " If you disrupt people 's lives , a lot of times they are not going to empathise with you . " An example given at the time was a public transit strike to protect pensions : " The strike created huge disruption and was pretty easy and people hated that . " This observation would have its echo almost a decade later when activists climbed on top of a train at Canning Town tube station in London with significant negative consequences . An action can be low or high sacrifice . But it can also be low or high disruption for the general public -- including those who do not actively choose to become engaged with the campaign and its issue of concern . This results in four possible modes of action : low sacrifice and low disruption , low sacrifice and high disruption , high sacrifice and low disruption , and finally high sacrifice and high disruption . The advantage of low sacrifice and low disruption actions is that such activism can be adopted by many people . However , they are unlikely to have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ example , petitions tend to have few results even when they are a useful first step onto the ladder of engagement . Even a high sacrifice act such as a short term hunger strike can lose its impact over time . " That action has been repeated so many times that no-one believes it 's really sacrificial , " Saavedra notes . There are actions that will create high disruption : a strike action or a protest closing down a highway will get the attention of the public , as it impacts their lives . SYMPATHETIC PEOPLE The movement needs representatives to take the message to the public , often through the media . A classic communications approach is to have ' ambassadors ' from each demographic who can bring the campaign and its values to their own communities . For example , white people might be better placed to assure people in a majority white population that immigration is ethically right and also brings benefits . Likewise , Extinction Rebellion has made extensive use of the fact that scientists are trusted by the general public @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ science . Saavedra and Engler advise on using " sympathetic people " to represent the movement . " Nurses presenting your arguments that will extend the reach of your message . " People are generally empathic . " There are a lot of physiological studies about how people have what are called mirror neurons , in which they naturally empathise when they witness suffering , without them even choosing to do so . " Empathy is , for better and worse , easier when you identify with a person or community . " If they can ' other ' that person , then the mind shuts off their ability to empathise . The power of Fox News is the enormous efforts it invests in ' othering ' people as terrorists , communists , and hippies . " Engler argues : " Rosa Parks was a very well respected person within the Montgomery community in the 1950s and a secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People ( NAACP ) for a number of years when the bus protests started . Another young woman aged 16 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it did not have the same impact . " The corollary to the ambassador approach is to ensure that your opposition -- those who refuse to make the change you are campaigning for , or are lobbying in the opposite direction -- are presented as unsympathetically as possible . A venal , self-interested politician might cave to your demands rather than fight you and be exposed as venal to their electorate . " People hated Wall Street , so they were likely to support Occupy Wall Street . " PUBLIC RELATIONS All movements today need to have a clear public relations strategy . Therefore sufficient capacity and training should be made available from the very beginning . Areas of focus will be a ) framing ; b ) relations with the mainstream media ; c ) capacity to create and distribute own ( social ) media . There are whole university departments talking about public relations . How can we change the way the media and the press relate to us , and to our demand ? How can we distribute our message ? Do the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or the left , or the language that most people understand ? George Lakoff , a cognitive theorist , claims that people have frames about how they understand politics , and the actors and the movements within that . If the PR team does not have the right strategy then there is not a lot that they can do with that . Engler recalls : " The healthcare campaign in the US had a debate about ' single payer ' insurance , but no-one understood the policy or the language . Most people do n't know how to relate to it . We framed it as ' Medicare for All ' , because US citizens know Medicare . We had to go further because the media convinced people there was only public healthcare and private healthcare . " Gaining mainstream media coverage , and therefore raising the profile of the campaign among the general public , is always a core activity for momentum tradition organisations . This can be achieved through " high levels of sacrifice and disruption " . Engler makes the point : " If you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can guarantee you are going to get front page newspaper coverage . " However , this level of dedication can only be achieved if the founders of the movement assume or act as though it will happen . Escalating to high levels of sacrifice and disruption is how you get media attention . " If we do not think about building to get there from the beginning , we 're never going to get there . " Campaigns with millions of dollars never escalate to high levels of sacrifice and disruption , because they are risk averse and , as a result , " they never get a moment of the whirlwind .

The times and dates of a future mass action should already be agreed . These can be promoted to the attendant reporters so that they form part of the reporting of the smaller initiating press stunt . " The trigger event can be small , and the movement can act to make it much bigger . " A trigger event can also be based on actual natural or political moments , or even just organised to coincide . Political events might include election campaigns , legislation , or scandals . Medicare for All and Obamacare became weather moments for health campaigns , and could also be extended to migration campaigns . This is especially true for environmental campaigns where , for example , extreme weather events will take place , which will get the attention of the media , who in turn will want to interview people on the ground . Engler @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . There are already trigger events that are happening in the environment . There are political , natural , social trigger events . Those things can be very influential to your movement . Katrina , Sandy had huge effects on the public consciousness of climate breakdown . But the most influence happens to the movements , when people capitalise on such events to funnel it into activity and structure . " Epic This is one reason the Seattle protests in 1999 proved so successful . The World Trade Organization ( WHO ) was already meeting in the city , and this would have generated significant coverage in the national media on its own . The fact that thousands of activists were planning to converge on the site and try to shut the conference down both leveraged and extended this media event . Engler recalls : " The WHO summit in Seattle -- that would be a New York Times national story . Because the spotlight was already on the summit , we would already get media coverage . We organised people to shut down the conference , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the whirlwind because protests at international summits followed for years to come . " Activists need to always develop action scenarios for a trigger event , and plan for any one to suddenly become a moment of the whirlwind . The concrete action plans should form a coherent real world manifestation of the movement DNA -- the theory of change and the grand strategy -- and those who take part should know and respect the principles . " The activists need to think about the action scenario , talk about the action scenario and explain how the action forms part of grand strategy and a clear theory of change . " The fundamental point is to capture the imagination of the public . Engler adds : " We need to design actions that will mean people want to be involved . Form your swarm around a provocative idea -- put your stick in the ground . Announce your goal . When you provide such a focus point , a swarm intelligence emerges . " Your goal must be tangible , credible , inclusive and epic . It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it needs to electrify people . Shoot for the moon . On second thoughts , do n't shoot for the moon , we have already been there . Shoot for Mars . You can only form a swarm around something that is epic . " Wizard Prophetic promotion must always be deployed alongside the strategy of polarisation . As discussed earlier in this series , the measures of success for the hybrid model of organising are " polarisation -- how much public support ; and organisational development -- how are people engaging with the movement , and is the movement capacity increasing ? " Engler argues : " Polarisation is the exact opposite of triangulation . You should be able to predict polarisation . You can become a wizard at this -- if you know the secrets , you can predict how polarisation would happen . " A good action therefore generates good polarisation around the issue of concern . " The actions should make people choose sides , and those that choose our side should be engaged and then moved up the ladder of engagement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ high levels of commitment , risk , and drama . Saavedra observes that there is very often a fear of escalation in structure-tradition organisations , and a fear of polarisation . " Holy crap , is the public going to like what we do ? " There is of course also bad polarisation . This is most obvious when the membership itself becomes alienated from a campaign . He explains : " Some people are going to move against the movement . We need to make sure we can get the majority of the people to support us . At the same time , the movement must build and deepen its base support . " Polarisation can be achieved using those four factors : the demand ; levels of sacrifice ; movement ambassadors ; and public relations . We will describe each briefly in turn . THE DEMAND Cesar Chavez , the American labour and civil rights activist who co-founded the National Farm Workers Association , would say : " We have another kind of power that comes from the justice of our cause . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the goal , setting a clear and achievable demand . People associate with the movement first and foremost because they identify with the cause . Activists supported Occupy Wall Street because it was fighting for the rights of the 99 per cent , and for equality . Most Latinos in the United States were in favour of the DREAM Act , as the benefits to millions within these communities were straightforward and obvious . Polling allows you to see whether the public is going to support the cause . The question needs also be asked how deeply they support the cause . Frank Luntz , a right wing strategist , uses " micropolling " , which measures attitudes of people within the base , the middle and the opposition to the campaign . Engler concludes : " You need to measure support , but you also have to measure how deeply they support you . " Activists should not abandon causes where there is little public support . Engler states : " The anti-war movement was actually unpopular and was under attack , for example for being unpatriotic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . What you can do , even on such issues , is pick specific things that the public will support -- for example , a campaign against waste or corruption in the military industrial complex . You can take an unpopular goal and break it down into demands that will be more popular . " SACRIFICE & DISRUPTION " Full effort is full victory , " Mahatma Gandhi said . Engler interprets Gandhi 's message as " With an endless capacity to suffer , victory is inevitable . " High sacrifice is , in the Gandhian school of nonviolence , one of the most important tools at the disposal of the activist . " What we sacrifice for , we elevate . " When people make deep sacrifices and they suffer -- being beaten up or going to prison -- they will gain popular support . In the civil rights movement , it was when people were being beaten by the police and this was being reported globally that people related to it . " If I go to prison , my mom instantly becomes an activist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ grounding assumption is that every time the participants in the movement are seen to make sacrifices for the cause , more people will want to join the movement . This is seen as an inevitable positive feedback loop . The aim of the action is to demonstrate high levels of sacrifice , or , as in the teachings of Martin Luther King , to " create a moral crisis " . This also feeds the media appetite for drama : " If it bleeds , it leads . " High disruption can force an issue onto the public agenda , and indeed force powerful actors in society to meet the demands of the campaign . However , it can also have an adverse effect on the campaign strategy of gaining active popular support . The key claim here is that " you can only have high levels of disruption if you have high levels of support for the demand , and you demonstrate high levels of sacrifice . " A lesson that Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil would need to confront a decade later was already being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " If you disrupt people 's lives , a lot of times they are not going to empathise with you . " An example given at the time was a public transit strike to protect pensions : " The strike created huge disruption and was pretty easy and people hated that . " This observation would have its echo almost a decade later when activists climbed on top of a train at Canning Town tube station in London with significant negative consequences . An action can be low or high sacrifice . But it can also be low or high disruption for the general public -- including those who do not actively choose to become engaged with the campaign and its issue of concern . This results in four possible modes of action : low sacrifice and low disruption , low sacrifice and high disruption , high sacrifice and low disruption , and finally high sacrifice and high disruption . The advantage of low sacrifice and low disruption actions is that such activism can be adopted by many people . However , they are unlikely to have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ example , petitions tend to have few results even when they are a useful first step onto the ladder of engagement . Even a high sacrifice act such as a short term hunger strike can lose its impact over time . " That action has been repeated so many times that no-one believes it 's really sacrificial , " Saavedra notes . There are actions that will create high disruption : a strike action or a protest closing down a highway will get the attention of the public , as it impacts their lives . SYMPATHETIC PEOPLE The movement needs representatives to take the message to the public , often through the media . A classic communications approach is to have ' ambassadors ' from each demographic who can bring the campaign and its values to their own communities . For example , white people might be better placed to assure people in a majority white population that immigration is ethically right and also brings benefits . Likewise , Extinction Rebellion has made extensive use of the fact that scientists are trusted by the general public @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ science . Saavedra and Engler advise on using " sympathetic people " to represent the movement . " Nurses presenting your arguments that will extend the reach of your message . " People are generally empathic . " There are a lot of physiological studies about how people have what are called mirror neurons , in which they naturally empathise when they witness suffering , without them even choosing to do so . " Empathy is , for better and worse , easier when you identify with a person or community . " If they can ' other ' that person , then the mind shuts off their ability to empathise . The power of Fox News is the enormous efforts it invests in ' othering ' people as terrorists , communists , and hippies . " Engler argues : " Rosa Parks was a very well respected person within the Montgomery community in the 1950s and a secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People ( NAACP ) for a number of years when the bus protests started . Another young woman aged 16 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it did not have the same impact . " The corollary to the ambassador approach is to ensure that your opposition -- those who refuse to make the change you are campaigning for , or are lobbying in the opposite direction -- are presented as unsympathetically as possible . A venal , self-interested politician might cave to your demands rather than fight you and be exposed as venal to their electorate . " People hated Wall Street , so they were likely to support Occupy Wall Street . " PUBLIC RELATIONS All movements today need to have a clear public relations strategy . Therefore sufficient capacity and training should be made available from the very beginning . Areas of focus will be a ) framing ; b ) relations with the mainstream media ; c ) capacity to create and distribute own ( social ) media . There are whole university departments talking about public relations . How can we change the way the media and the press relate to us , and to our demand ? How can we distribute our message ? Do the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or the left , or the language that most people understand ? George Lakoff , a cognitive theorist , claims that people have frames about how they understand politics , and the actors and the movements within that . If the PR team does not have the right strategy then there is not a lot that they can do with that . Engler recalls : " The healthcare campaign in the US had a debate about ' single payer ' insurance , but no-one understood the policy or the language . Most people do n't know how to relate to it . We framed it as ' Medicare for All ' , because US citizens know Medicare . We had to go further because the media convinced people there was only public healthcare and private healthcare . " Gaining mainstream media coverage , and therefore raising the profile of the campaign among the general public , is always a core activity for momentum tradition organisations . This can be achieved through " high levels of sacrifice and disruption " . Engler makes the point : " If you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can guarantee you are going to get front page newspaper coverage . " However , this level of dedication can only be achieved if the founders of the movement assume or act as though it will happen . Escalating to high levels of sacrifice and disruption is how you get media attention . " If we do not think about building to get there from the beginning , we 're never going to get there . " Campaigns with millions of dollars never escalate to high levels of sacrifice and disruption , because they are risk averse and , as a result , " they never get a moment of the whirlwind .

40 years after it stormed to the UK number one , Wrongtom charts the history of ' I Feel For You ' , from an overlooked Prince album track to Chaka Khan 's smash hit , via Stevie Wonder , Patrice Rushen , glitching tape machines , the death of Sugar Hill Records and more In 1969 , on the South Side of Chicago , a young Pan-Africanist and Black Panther called Yvette Stevens dropped out of high school and began singing in local bands under her adoptive name , Chaka . She caught the attention of a heavy-soul group called Rufus who 'd risen from the ashes of The American Breed , having scored a hit in 1968 with ' Bend Me , Shape Me ' . Chaka helped mould Rufus into a formidable jazz-funk outfit whose debut LP piqued Stevie Wonder 's interest , and he sat down with the singer to write ' Tell Me Something Good ' , a louche Funkadelic-esque jam with a strange centre of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rufus were suddenly all over US radio and TV , appearing on The Midnight Special , Soul Train , Bandstand and even The Bob Hope Show . " I used to run home and see everything she was on , " claimed Prince in a 1998 interview with the Philadelphia Daily News , admitting that , in his teens , he was a " fan and fanatic " of Chaka . Testament to which , amongst his early demos there 's an acoustic cover of the Rufus track ' Sweet Thing ' which he recorded in 1976 , not long after its release . Two years after that , Chaka was a bonafide pop star with her solo single ' I 'm Every Woman ' rocketing up the charts on both sides of the Atlantic . Prince was in Sausalito , California , working on his debut album when he heard Chaka was in town , so he called her hotel pretending to be her friend Sly Stone , and invited her to join him in the studio . " It was dark and cold as a morgue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 2020 . " I said ' hey ' to the engineer , " she continued , " and I said ' who 's that ? ' and he said ' that 's Prince ' and I said ' Prince ? Prince of what ! ? ' " Chaka 's first meeting with " this little short guy with a big guitar " was brief , and the perplexed singer was gone almost as soon as they 'd been introduced , but Prince got hold of her phone number , and despite his initial deception , the two struck up a long distance friendship . How Prince found time to chat while self-producing his For You LP is hard to fathom , but another young musician he befriended over the phone in 1978 was Patrice Rushen . The pianist and singer had just released her fourth album , the first for her new label Elektra , and simply titled Patrice , which Prince loved . It turned out his engineer , Tommy Vicari , knew her from various sessions , and hooked them up so they could talk shop @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tells tQ , " and he would periodically call me , and typically the questions would have more to do with music than anything else " . Soon they 'd meet in person when the self-taught multi-instrumentalist asked his new classically trained friend to help arrange strings for his song ' Baby ' . " He already knew what he wanted , " she assures , " but at that time he did n't know how to write it down . " Between his debut , and self-titled follow up , Prince took a trip to NYC with his friend and mentor Pep ? Willie to demo tracks for Willie 's uncle 's band The Imperials ; doo-wop veterans who were being disco-fied by Tony Silvester from The Main Ingredient . During these sessions , Prince sat at a piano and presented a love song , of sorts , which he was still writing called ' I Feel For You ' . It was n't picked up , so he returned to Minneapolis where he laid down a demo version on acoustic guitar in his home studio . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You ' to Rushen for her next LP Pizzazz in 1979 , but she turned it down . Rushen was quick to dismiss this myth when I spoke to her in 2021 , stating that he never once approached her with a song . In fact , the first she heard about this was when some friends showed her the liner notes in Prince 's The Hits collection from 1993 in which tour manager Alan Leeds claimed Prince was inspired by his friendship with Rushen to write both ' I Wan na Be Your Lover ' and ' I Feel For You ' , hoping she 'd record them . Whether the songs were about her or simply for her remains a mystery , even to Rushen . " If he wanted to take it further , he never ... " Rushen paused thoughtfully for a moment , then laughed . " We were n't around each other long enough at any point in time for it to go anywhere ! " Whatever Prince 's intention , ' I Feel For You ' wound up on his second LP @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the erotic synth-funk which would dominate his output over the next few years . Chaka , who 'd been following Prince 's career since they 'd met , loved the album but could n't believe ' I Feel For You ' did n't get a single release -- it was hidden away as the penultimate track on the album -- and vowed to do it herself . Now let 's take a trip over to the Bronx where hip hop had just made the transition from park jams and basement parties , and into the studio when The Sugarhill Gang dropped ' Rapper 's Delight ' in the autumn of 1979 . Many were sceptical of these early expeditions , often recorded by rappers who were n't on the scene , but The Furious Five , alongside their DJ Grandmaster Flash were already hip hop veterans when they released a handful of 12 " s via local labels Brass Records and Enjoy . MC Melle Mel stood out on their second single , ' Superappin ' which featured , arguably , the first socially conscious rap verse which opens @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no state of mind , blind to the ways of mankind ... " Mel would revisit these lyrics when he went to record ' The Message ' for Sugar Hill Records in 1982 . This downbeat electronic gamechanger gave the group an international hit , reaching number eight in the UK , but as rap went mainstream , the band began to collapse , with Grandmaster Flash leaving Mel to lead the remaining Five in an effort to capitalise on their newfound fame . The following year , Sugar Hill Records released ' White Lines ( Do n't Do It ) ' under the misleading name Grandmaster & Melle Mel , but as the anti-drug anthem scaled the top 10 , the label was slapped with a lawsuit for the uncredited use of Liquid Liquid 's ' Cavern ' as the basis for its rhythm track . At the same time things were going awry for the Sugar Hill empire , Chaka was entering the electro arena when Rufus ' keyboardist David " Hawk " Wolinski laid down an infectious beat on his Linn LM-1 and penned ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bonus track to accompany the group 's live album Stompin ' At The Savoy , but they realised they had a potential hit on their hands and insisted that if Warner did n't release it as a single , they 'd sell it to Quincy Jones for Michael Jackson 's Thriller LP . The label relented , and not only was it an international smash , but it was adopted as an electro anthem in the summer of ' 84 thanks to its use in Cannon Films ' danceploitation movie Breakin ' . Chaka 's shrewd producer Arif Mardin was quick to cash in too . Other than ' Ai n't Nobody ' , the singer had n't had a major hit since 1978 , but Warner Bros had faith , splashing out half a million dollars for Mardin to produce the album . Half a decade had passed since Chaka first heard ' I Feel For You ' , and with a healthy budget and Mardin 's assistance , she was determined to make it a hit . Tapping into the electro-funk sound sweeping the charts , Mardin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ street credentials , and had Prince slated to supply one of his heroic guitar solos . The promo schedule for Purple Rain put paid to that plan , so Chaka 's old friend Stevie Wonder was called in to add harmonica instead . A soundbite of a crowd cheering from the intro of " Little " Stevie Wonder 's ' Fingertips ' underpins his solo . Mardin knew this could be massive , but with electro-adjacent records like ' Candy Girl ' and ' Let 's Hear It For The Boy ' all over the dance and pop charts , it needed something extra to stand out . Rap was huge , but still a gamble , so they 'd need someone bankable . Griffin suggested his Sugar Hill cohort Melle Mel who ad libbed his verse like a seasoned pro after Chaka had nailed her vocal and gone on home . Before Mel dropped his " Chaka Khan , let me rock you " lines , the producer already had the idea of using Chaka 's name rhythmically . In 2005 , Mardin told NPR that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , fellow musician Mark Stevens , when he told him " you have two sisters . One of them is called Taka Boom , and the other sister is Chaka Khan . Why ca n't we use these names as percussion ? " Cut to the studio where Mardin 's engineer was about to lay down the master copy of ' I Feel For You ' when an accident with the tape machine caused Melle Mel 's intro to stutter " Chak-Chak-Chak-Chaka Khan ... " like a glitching computer reciting a Hugo Ball sound poem . " That 's interesting , " the producer mused . " Let 's keep that . " Chaka was less impressed . As the singer returned to the studio the following day to hear how the track was progressing , she " heard this guy saying my name over and over again " . " I was devastated , " she whispered during a 2022 interview with Andy Cohen . She 'd left them with her soaring vocal , and returned to be confronted with a rapper she 'd never even met describing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He wants to rock me and all this stuff ... I said ' I 've got to live with this ! ' " Despite her misgivings , Mardin promised her it would be a hit , and by the end of 1984 ' I Feel For You ' had reached the top 10 in 16 countries , from Belgium to Brazil . On 4 November it knocked Wham ! off the number one spot in the UK , and remained there for three weeks . It was so big here , in fact , that it wound up covered on Hallmark Records ' infamous Top Of The Pops album series featuring an almost arrhythmic rap from someone with a curious transatlantic accent . Page 3 girl Samantha Fox adorned the cover . England , the country which gave this genre its name via Morgan Khan 's hallowed Electro compilations , fully embraced Chaka as the queen of the electro scene . An initial pop-promo , in which Chaka performs ' I Feel For You ' in a go-go bar , was pulled in favour of a breakdance-themed video @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to expand on a short film she 'd been developing called Street Beat which she was shooting in a mockup of LA 's pioneering hip hop club Radiotron . B-boys including Shabba Doo , Boogaloo Shrimp and Pop n ' Taco were all poached from the cast of Breakin ' , alongside LA electro pioneer DJ Chris " The Glove " Taylor who 's seen cutting up the single on baby-pink vinyl . Conspicuously , Melle Mel does n't feature . In fact Mel did n't meet Chaka until he was flown back from a European tour the following February to perform the song at the Grammys where she won the coveted award for Best female R&B vocal performance , and it scored Prince , as the single 's songwriter , one of his three Grammys that year . Mel was n't even nominated , but it was a landmark moment for a movement which was born out of nothing in a Bronx basement barely a decade prior . Melle Mel should 've been on the up , his next release ' Step Off ' -- in which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you " rhyme -- was a hit , but the consecutive singles failed to expand on his Grammy notoriety , Not to mention Sugar Hill was in a financial mess following the ' White Lines ' lawsuit , and within a few months they were bankrupt , taking Liquid Liquid 's label 99 Records down with them . Kids across the world were repeating Mel 's " Chak-Chak-Chak-Chaka Khan " intro , much to the chagrin of their exasperated parents . Melle Mel was a household name , and yet he had no label . Meanwhile Chaka released a succession of lavishly produced pop albums which failed to match the success of ' I Feel For You ' and its accompanying LP . Collaborations with Phil Collins and Green Gartside from Scritti Politti missed the charts , and even the new jack swing style ' Sticky Wicked ' in 1988 -- penned and produced by Prince , and featuring Miles Davis on trumpet -- won over neither the kids nor her jazzier fans . That same year , Melle Mel reconciled with Flash , and the original Furious Five @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but the fans had moved on . Electro was all but over and hip hop was evolving . In the UK , where she 'd found her biggest pop audience , Chaka returned to the top 10 in 1989 with a remixed version of ' Ai n't Nobody ' sliding into the mix amongst Soul II Soul , Neneh Cherry and the street soul movement , but even with a couple more Grammy wins , her new material could n't reach the pop heights of ' I Feel For You ' . Chaka 's devotees had n't forgotten her , however . Especially on the hip hop scene where Guru brought her in to guest on his celebrated Jazzmatazz project , and De La Soul gave her pride of place on their infectious ' All Good ? ' single . Prince , who was slowly emerging from his own corporate hell with Warner Bros , signed Chaka to his NPG label in 1998 , producing her ninth studio album Come 2 My House . It remained under the radar , but features some of her best work since @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ title track , and a surprisingly funky duet with Robert Palmer . Prince , who for years had accepted that ' I Feel For You ' had become Chaka 's track , reintroduced the song as a focal point of his own live repertoire , eventually performing it live with Chaka and Stevie Wonder at a BET awards show in 2006 . Melle Mel appeared only as a disembodied voice in the intro , like a physical dream . He continues to perform to this day , rightfully accepted as a godfather and pioneer of hip hop , as well as rap 's first megastar . In 2019 , Chaka released Hello Happiness , her first LP in over a decade . Once again the UK welcomed her with open arms , and it reached 18 in the album charts , with Fatback sampling lead single ' Like Sugar ' tearing up dancefloors . She continues to tour both solo and with Rufus , bringing the house down every time , though you wo n't always necessarily hear ' I Feel For You ' . Like many artists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ much deeper , and Chaka 's relationship with the song remains complex . It may seem like a chore to perform , but for many of us it 's an exemplary moment when electro , funk and soul crossed over to form 4 minutes of pop-perfection , and , as Rushen put it : " She sang the stew out of it !

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'made such a gladiatorial spectacle out of grinding gears, burning rubber and the screech of brakes' involves a transitive verb 'made' with an NP object 'such a gladiatorial spectacle', but it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Additionally, the NP object 'such a gladiatorial spectacle' does not function as a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Science fiction is n't just for nerds anymore . Once thought of as a niche interest , over the last two decades , it has nearly become the dominant movie subcategory , if not in all entertainment . But the truth is that the audience for sci-fi was always broader than the stereotypes made it seem . A great sci-fi film does what any good movie should do , and that 's tell us something about ourselves and the world around us . The only difference is that it might invent an entirely different universe to do so . In other words , it 's a genre anyone can relate to , not just the geeks writing 4000-word theoretical treatises on fan forums . To prove it , in order to put together our list of the 100 best sci-fi movies ever made , we surveyed a broad panel of experts , from Nobel Prize-winning geneticist Sir Paul Nurse to film director Guillermo del Toro to Game of Thrones creator George RR Martin . The result is a list that crisscrosses the sci-fi universe , from galaxies far , far away to near-future Earth , from planets of apes to islands of dinosaurs , from inside dreams to outside reality itself . And so we begin where all lists of great science fiction must : with Will Smith punching an alien in the mouth . Oh , were you expecting something more sophisticated ? A little heavier , darker and subtler , and less bombastic and Randy Quaid-intensive ? Do n't worry , there 's plenty of that elsewhere . But you wo n't find many films that deliver quite as much in the department of pure , popcorn-snarfing fun . No one 's forcing sci-fi superfans to love Roland Emmerich 's War of the Worlds variant . But how can you not ? Again , this is a movie where Will Smith knocks out an extraterrestrial invader , then drags its body through the desert , talking shit the whole time . Where Jeff Goldblum essentially reprises the Ian Malcolm role of the snarky scientist no one listens to . Where Bill Paxton delivers a speech that could have earned him actual votes for president . And remember the White House getting vaporised by alien weaponry ? Of course you do . So we will not go quietly into the night -- today , we celebrate Independence Day as one of the GOATs . Deal with it . MS Frank Herbert 's Dune had long been dubbed unadaptable ; indeed , anyone who has seen David Lynch 's 1984 attempt may believe that to be true . That was until Arrival and Blade Runner 2049 director , Denis Villeneuve , finally cracked this sci-fi doorstopper . His luscious-looking adaptation -- the first of two parts -- reverently handles Herbert 's bountiful lore , as well as its social subtext , to deliver a thinky yet action-packed sci-fi epic . Instead of stuffing the film with swathes of exposition , Villeneuve does his worldbuilding by showing it to us via gripping action sequences and detailed characters . He also allows much to remain mysterious , which , when paired with the lonesome desert planet of Arrakis , gives the whole thing an ominous and eerie quality . It 's all very stylish , but there 's spice and substance to it , too . AK A sci-fi-horror hybrid with more grey matter than your average movie , Annihilation has grand concepts in mind , ideas about self-destruction and rebirth . The film follows cellular biologist Lena ( Natlie Portman ) as she ventures into the Shimmer , an anomalous electromagnetic field that looks a bit like a jellyfish screensaver . There , she discovers the truth about what happened to her husband Kane ( Oscar Isaac ) , who visited the Shimmer and returned in poor health and with his memory missing . Based on Jeff VanderMeer 's Nebula-winning 2014 novel , the film might borrow some tricks from out of the Ridley Scott playbook , but this is a visually rapturous and sometimes unsettling movie . Garland 's creeping pace lulls you on an almost molecular level ; he 's made something akin to an end-of-the-world film , but one in which the changes afoot might not be wholly bad . AK Two brothers ( played by actor-directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead ) return to the remote cult they fled many years ago . The group 's leader , Hal ( Tate Ellington ) is preternaturally calm , but there are warning signs all around that things are not quite as peaceful as they seem . Gradually transcending its low-budget indie constraints , The Endless builds into a clever piece of sci-fi with some pleasingly bizarre and jarringly violent moments . How in hell did Serenity ever get made ? Its parent TV show , cowboys-in-space adventure Firefly , had been cancelled two years previously after a mere 11 episodes . Its creator , Joss Whedon , had never directed a feature film before , and his one small-screen success , Buffy the Vampire Slayer , had itself just been kicked off the air . Yet still , someone at Universal Pictures thought it 'd be a good idea to give Whedon a free hand and a parcel of cash to resurrect his baby as a standalone feature . It was a terrible economic decision , of course , as Serenity predictably failed to recoup its budget . But it was a spectacular boon to those of us who appreciated Whedon 's idiosyncratic art : Serenity is whip-smart , action-packed and wildly inventive . TH French New Wave mover and shaker Jean-Luc Godard seems an unlikely filmmaker to turn his hand to sci-fi , yet here he created one of his most accessible offerings by setting an affectionate piss-take of Gallic pulp cinema 's long running Lemmy Caution spy series in a ' futuristic ' dystopia ruled by supercomputer Alpha 60 . With typical Godardian insouciance it 's all filmed in contrasty black-and-white , in and around contemporary Paris , but its enduring appeal is the combination of don't-care larkishness , amiable big lug Eddie Constantine doing his tough-guy thing , and a profound underlying seriousness drawing cogent connections between the brutality of fascism and technology 's inhuman reasoning . Moreover , in a city where the illogicality of emotion is punishable by death , there 's no one better than winsome Anna Karina to make us believe that falling in love is well worth the risk . TJ Directed by a childhood uber-fan of the franchise , Gareth Edwards 's prequel ( the action 's set sometime before the first Star Wars film ) is a punchy standalone action tale about a spunky resistance group within the Rebel Alliance . Okay , it 's a little baffling in parts , but it ca n't be faulted for its energy levels or commitment to being constantly fun . It also explains how Princess Leia ends up with the plans for the Death Star in the 1977 movie , and fleshes out the rebels with compelling individual backstories . George Lucas and his pal Francis Ford Coppola persuaded Warner Brothers to take a flyer on expanding George 's earlier student short into this Orwell and Huxley-influenced fable about free love and free will versus all-powerful totalitarianism . The studio hated the result and the subsequent box-office debacle almost killed both their careers . Viewed today -- the only version available is Lucas and co-writer Walter Murch 's digitally spruced-up 2004 ' Director 's Cut ' -- its shaven headed-cast , chillingly benign language intoning state propaganda and oppressive widescreen palette of glacial whites make for genuinely unnerving viewing . Young Lucas evidently believed in heroic individualism , fast cars and the possibility of escape , yet it 's the visualisation of an entire society shaped by universal surveillance , government-supplied sedatives and android police carrying very big sticks which rings darker and truer than the director 's subsequent , significantly more populist output . TJ With its killer Kendrick Lamar soundtrack , eye-popping Afrofuturist world and some stupidly charismatic performances , Black Panther is sleek , fast-moving and tons of fun . We walked away wanting to see the late Chadwick Boseman , Lupita Nyong'o , and Londoners Letitia Wright and Daniel Kaluuya in another superhero movie as soon as possible -- which thanks to the epic Wakandan bits of Avengers : Infinity War , we shortly did . It now also acts as a loving monument to Boseman 's effervescent talent . It 's hard to imagine a Hollywood exec even sitting through Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky 's Solaris(1972) , never mind stumping up for Steven Soderbergh 's US remake , but perhaps the presence of producer James Cameron facilitated this most introspective of space operas . As writer-director-editor and cinematographer , Soderbergh does a remarkable job of echoing the original 's Soviet-era look and solemnity , yet moves the story along without compromising its intriguing musings on the knowability of self and others . Investigating a stricken space station orbiting the mysterious planet Solaris , shrink Clooney finds he has a ' visitor ' -- a spooky reincarnation of his late wife . Or rather , a reincarnation of his memories of her , which is n't quite the same thing . Cliff Martinez 's seductive yet unsettling score sets the tone as we ponder the difference in this graceful , thought-provoking affair , where the never-better McElhone is heartbreaking as the woman discovering she 's not truly herself . TJ It might involve a group of kids saving the world ( or at least , their specific corner of it ) from otherworldly invaders , but this ai n't the Stranger Things gang , and it 's certainly not the crew of precocious outcasts you might find in a classic Amblin Entertainment joint . Indeed , Joe Cornish 's electric sci-fi action-comedy introduces its young protagonists by having them mug a nurse ( Whittaker ) who lives in their tower block . As film shows , though , the kiddie criminals are mostly victims of circumstance , or just fronting as gangsters -- and when a race of vicious extraterrestrial hellbeasts descend upon their housing project , it sets up a wildly entertaining redemption story , not to mention one of the most obvious ' oh yeah , this is guy is a star ' debuts you 'll ever see from then-19-year-old John Boyega . Screw the pearl-clutching critics who initially wrung their hands over Cornish turning hoodlums into heroes : with a screenplay full of South Londonisms , Attack the Block exudes a greater sense of place than most alien invasion flicks , as well as a pure fun factor nothing in the genre has matched since . MS . Ground zero for a pervasive geek culture that was still years away from materialising , WD Richter 's unclassifiable whatsit would have to settle for being a cult film in the dark days of VHS . It should have been huger . A pre-RoboCop Peter Weller effortlessly embodies the title character : physicist , rock star , the leader of the Hong Kong Cavaliers , he was a comic book hero in his own time . Working from a brilliantly Pynchon-esque script ( writer Earl Mac Rauch took several passes at it , resulting in a 300-page ' bible ' ) , Richter helms the action with the confidence that his story is weirder and wilder than virtually anything else out there . All the better , then , to steer the great John Lithgow toward his deranged , Italian-accented villain , Dr Emilio Lizardo , whose every line is a keeper ( ' Laugh while you can , monkey boy ! ' ) . Kevin Smith and Wes Anderson are superfans . We 're still waiting for the sequel promised in the euphoric final credits . JR The tension between its highly imaginative central conceit and the available special-effects technology struggling to put it on screen gives movies like Richard Fleischer 's intravenous thriller a special charm that no longer exists in the era of CGI . Rooted in Cold War paranoia , the story has a crack medical team miniaturised in a submarine to venture within the circulatory system of a comatose defecting scientist . The production team -- including legendary design wizard Harper Goff -- bring a brightly-coloured tangibility to the recreation of a world that lies inside us all . Less impressive is the only-too-obvious back-projection , but the smart idea of an admittedly arbitrary 60-minute limit before the crew start growing back to normal size generates cumulatively effective tension as debut gal Raquel Welch provides the glam and ever-reliable Donald Pleasence offers more than a hint of twitchy menace . TJ In 2002 , just when it was safe to assume Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise were both past their freshest , along came ' Minority Report ' -- a dark , heart-pounding futuristic film-noir whodunit adapted from a Philip K Dick story . It 's 2054 . Scientists have n't found the cure for the common cold , but they have reduced the murder rate to zero in Washington , DC , with ' Pre-crime ' -- a police unit that taps into a trio of psychic ' precogs ' to predict murders and arrest the perpetrators before they do anything wrong . Cruise ( properly acting as well as running around in a leather jacket ) is the bureau chief fingered as a future murderer . Spielberg consulted leading scientists to furnish a plausible future world , and a decade later -- from retina scanners to personalised advertising -- he was spot on . Minority Report is still creepy as hell . CC Robert Pattinson further cemented his post-Twilight career with this elusive , elliptical sci-fi film . Directed by Claire Denis ( making her English-language debut ) , the action takes place on a drifting spaceship occupied by the survivors of a previous mission involving death row convicts who volunteered to help investigate black holes in exchange for commuted sentences . It 's also quite possibly the only sci-fi film out there to involve a ' fuckbox ' and a ' shaman of semen ' ( as played by Juliette Binoche ) . One of the strangest and -- we 're guessing -- least seen films on our list is this British New Wave oddity from blacklisted American filmmaker Joseph Losey , who later the same year would go on to pick apart the English class system in his scalpel-sharp satire The Servant . The Damned is n't quite so cutting in its observations ( it does n't have the benefit of a Harold Pinter screenplay , after all ) , but it is perhaps the more unusual and intriguing film , blending every strand of popular post-war paranoia -- nuclear , sexual , social -- into a murky , unpredictable psychodramatic stew . In one of his earliest big-screen roles , an overbearing Oliver Reed is a grotesque parody of teen rebellion as King , the leather-clad mugger who stumbles upon a cave society of mutant children . A troubling film , and a deeply peculiar one.TH They call it science fiction , but only too rarely does the cinematic genre tackle a subject which focuses primarily on the science . This screen adaptation of Michael Crichton 's first bestseller tackles the crisis that unfolds when a space probe falls to Earth carrying an extraterrestrial virus that instantly turns human blood to powder . Thankfully , the US authorities have just built a secret subterranean research facility for exactly such eventualities . But it 's by no means a given that the boffins will be able to isolate and neutralise the threat -- and there 's a nuclear self-destruct option to prevent wider contamination . Veteran director Robert Wise , still riding on the box-office bonanza of The Sound of Music , approaches it all with an austere documentary rigour that at first seems to underplay the drama , but builds an almost unbearable degree of claustrophobic anxiety . TJ With the heavy brow-line , cranial flat-top and bolts to the neck , the creature featured in Universal 's landmark retelling of the Mary Shelley tale is one of the true icons of fantasy cinema . It 's the deep pools of emotion in Boris Karloff 's eyes which make this a classic however , providing an extra element of humanity to the celluloid archetype of the brilliant but morally unhinged scientist who goes way too far . Colin Clive brings fierce conviction to the role of re-animator Baron Frankenstein and the lab design remains a wonder . But it 's the combination of superhuman force and childlike vulnerability Karloff finds in the monster role which makes this a potent viewing experience even now . Kudos to English theatre director James Whale for highlighting this startling contradiction in a film with an incalculable influence on subsequent genre cinema . TJ For good or for ill , producer Alexander Korda allowed HG Wells to have creative control over this future-gazing epic and adaptation of his own novel -- marking a rare occasion when a literary sci-fi giant has guided their own work on celluloid . To start , he uncannily predicts the ravages of enemy air raids in 1940 , then maps out decades of subsequent carnage and disease before a new breed of utopian technocrats put mankind back on track -- at the expense of wiping out all resistance . The remarkable effects work and the production design charts a twenty-first century shaped by an art-deco aesthetic , though it 's also clear that Wells was more interested in speechifying than engaging the audience 's emotions . His absolute certainty that science will provide a better tomorrow delivers an antiseptically dull fate for us . And counter to his intentions , it 's the scrappy , combative rebels who appear the most engagingly , if fallibly , human . TJ It may have polarised critics upon its release , but the Wachowski sisters and Run Lola Run director Tom Tykwer 's adaptation of David Mitchell 's Booker Prize-nominated novel is one of the most ambitious , epic and enthralling cinematic experiences of the century . Consisting of six interconnected stories that span time ( from 1849 to 2321 ) and distance ( the Pacific islands to Edinburgh to ' Neo Seoul ' ) , as well as an excellent cast led by Tom Hanks , Halle Berry and a gaggle of notable British thespians , it 's not afraid to pile on the action , romance , comedy , a plot involving cloning , space travel and philosophical inquiry in quick succession . But the results are often breathtaking and brilliantly unique . In the wake of the Sputnik launch in 1957 , a towering metal robot crash-lands in a small Maine community ( relocated from the rural England of Ted Hughes 's source novel ) , inadvertently scaring the bejesus out of everyone it encounters . In fact it 's a benign , selfless giant , intent only on munching scrap metal and protecting a young boy who saves its ' life ' . To adults , Brad Bird 's animated classic is a well-observed evocation of the anti-communist paranoia that permeated life in the 1950s -- the golden age of sci-fi . To kids , it 's a universal tale of tolerance and trusting friendship ; you could replace the giant with ET or Totoro and you 'd have much the same film . It may be voiced by Vin Diesel , but the giant itself is a thing of beauty : a distant relative of the robots in Castle in the Sky or The King and the Mockingbird , it conveys a wealth of emotions despite not saying or doing much at all . ADDW It 's the year 2029 , and humanity exists in a society managed by an electronic network that takes possession of their consciousness ( ' ghost ' ) when they don a special cybernetic suit ( ' shell ' ) . But beneath the layers of hi-tech delirium and political intrigue lies a fairly simple idea : that human identity is a function of memory , and so in theory indistinguishable from a digital hard drive . Far from a run-of-the-mill slice of millennial angst , Ghost in the Shell abounds in mysteries and paradoxes . The film is Japanese , but the world appears to be a version of Hong Kong ; the setting is futuristic , but the soundtrack features ancient Japanese chant ; the main characters are robots , yet they ca n't relinquish certain human obsessions . A strange and subtle work of anime . ADDW World on a Wire was the first , last and only foray into speculative science fiction for New Wave maestro Rainer Werner Fassbinder . The result is an opulent and elaborate epic -- though it was first shown as a three-part TV serial which plays like Chinatown , if that film 's hero Jake Gittes had traded his cream linen suit for a bank of old-school computers and a sparkly crash helmet . Loosely adapted from Daniel F Galouye 's 1964 pulp sci-fi novella , Simulacron-3 , this staggering work ( which triumphantly resurfaced in 2010 after years in the distribution doldrums ) prefigures pretty much any film that deals with the concept of concentric realities ( Inception , Lawnmower Man 2 : Beyond Cyberspace et al ) , and does so with economy , rigour and style . So , so much style . DJ Director James Cameron has acknowledged that ' Avatar ' has many influences , from the jungles of Tarzan to the themes of Edgar Rice Burroughs 's John Carter series . But , typically , Cameron went and did it bigger and better than anyone else . Having come up with the idea in his Titanic days , he literally waited for technology to catch up , requiring seriously sophisticated motion-capture photography and effects to plunge us into planet Pandora , along with the avatar of earthly soldier Jake Sully ( Worthington ) . The results are awe-inspiring , especially in 3D , bagging the film Oscars for Cinematography , Visual Effects and Art Direction , as well as helping it claim the title of the highest grossing movie of all time at the box office . This , of course , helped Cameron realise that there should be numerous sequels ( there are four more movies currently being worked on , the first of which is due at the end of 2022 ) . Nonetheless , Avatar is more than just a spectacle and box office juggernaut : it 's a familiar yet heart-warming story of a military man who switches sides after integrating with a peaceful people.AS Big-scale moviemaking embroidered with small human moments and done on Avatar 's canteen budget , Arrival is the kind of cerebral sci-fi moviemaking that scores its director , Denis Villeneuve , a gig like , say , Blade Runner 2049 or Dune . The film marries the cool intellectualism of Kubrick and the heart of Spielberg in a deceptively simple story of communication , family and the need to find common ground in the face of catastrophe . As the world wonders if giant , **25;4618;TOOLONG alien craft are going to unleash hellfire or not , Amy Adams ' linguist sets to work understanding their true purpose . She begs for less fear and anger , and more calmness and understanding from the world 's leaders . Ca n't think how that would be a message for our times . PDS The last and , our voters agree , least of the original Star Wars trilogy may have its problems , but it 's one heck of a ride . Sure , detractors might argue about the cuddly-Ewoks , the surprisingly whimpish depiction of Princess Leia ( not just the gold bikini incident , but her general reluctance to play the blaster-wielding badass ) and the writers ' lacklustre plot decision to revive the Death Star from the first movie rather than going for a full-on assault against the heart of Imperial power . But there 's still so much of the movie that really does work : the sail barge escape from Jabba the Hut is glorious swashbuckling action at its finest , the speeder bike chase through the forests of Endor is full-throttle fun and the monumental three-way climax is a Wagnerian crescendo that caps this trilogy of the series in fine style . TH Watching Flash Gordon , you can only wonder whether someone thought there was an as-yet untapped audience of sci-fi fans who were also , as the wonderfuloriginal Time Out reviewputs it , ' gentlemen who prefer blonds ' ? Of course , once it was out in the world the whole thing made some kind of twisted , outrageous sense , and it still does . No money ? No problem . Writer-director-star Cory McAbee used imaginative dodges -- such as action sequences filmed as musical numbers in silhouette -- to make up for a relatively small budget of between one and two million dollars ( the exact figure remains sketchy ) . The film 's premise suggests high camp , Barbarella-style , but in fact this 35mm black-and-white effort combines kitschy elements with the roughneck machismo of a Western -- imagine a tumbler of neat Jack Daniels with a cocktail umbrella perched inexplicably on the rim . McAbee 's charmingly ramshackle antics slightly run out of steam by the end of a wisely brief 91 minute runtime , but this idiosyncratic yarn 's inspired highlights make it a must-see passion project for anyone who enjoys combing science fiction 's farthest shores for the weirder pieces of flotsam and jetsam . CB What major Hollywood star would have felt more at home with the idea of total self-transformation than Rock Hudson ? The macho matinee idol who was secretly gay , the serious artist trapped , by the mid- ' 60s , in a roundelay of outdated , featherweight romcoms , Hudson must have been desperate for an escape route . As with so much great sci-fi , the concept of Seconds is perfectly simple : an ageing , downtrodden salary man pays to be surgically transformed into a chiselled hunk , but life among the beautiful people is n't quite as he 'd dreamed it would be . Drawing equally on post-war film noir , countercultural me-generation wish fulfilment and pre-Watergate paranoia , Seconds is one of the most radical , disturbing and downright terrifying thrillers ever released by a major Hollywood studio . It also benefits from arguably the greatest opening title sequence in film history : a warped kaleidoscope of malformed flesh -- directed , of course , by the legendary Saul Bass . TH Late 1800s London is the perfect setting for Christopher Nolan 's twisty tale of rival magicians . The Victorian age was an unprecedented time of scientific discovery , where the impossible was being made possible with every new invention -- just like magic . A puzzle of a film , The Prestige opens with a murder and unfolds in flashback . Alfred Bordern ( Bale ) and Robert Angier ( Jackman ) meet as young magicians ' apprentices . Driven by rivalry , for years they steal each other 's tricks , finally coming to blows over Bordern 's ' The Transported Man ' illusion . Angier ca n't figure it out , and insane with jealousy , asks the ( real ) inventor Nikola Tesla to build him a machine to compete with Bordern . But at what cost ? Christopher Nolan pulls a rabbit out of the hat with a gripping , suspenseful ta-da finish . CC It all started here . The sprawling multimedia soap opera that is the Marvel Cinema Universe , which now dominates our cinema screens and our end-of-year box office charts -- with no signs of slowing . Oddly , their record-shattering crowning achievement , 2012 's heavily sci-fi flavoured The Avengers , did n't place in this list , with our voters preferring to go back to the source . And as a statement of intent , Iron Man is pretty near unbeatable . Here , fully formed , is the template for all future Marvel movies : wisecracking heroes , world-threatening villains , explosive action sequences , throwaway gags and just a hint of a social conscience ( the movie could probably have leant harder on the weapons-industry-is-bad subtext , but we 'll let it go ) . Robert Downey Jr has now officially shuffled off the iron suit , but he leaves a pretty feisty legacy behind him . TH Life ends at 30 in this sci-fi that presents a typically ' 60s/ ' 70s vision of the future : a doomed society that 's outwardly bright , white and polite yet with a heart as black as night . Loosely based on the novel by William F Nolan and George Clayton Johnson , it stars a chiseled Michael York as Logan 5 , a Sandman who processes inhabitants for ' renewal ' at the age of 30 . Of course , they 're actually killed . Jessica 6 ( Agutter ) suspects as much and soon Logan 's joining her on the run . While not unanimously well received at the time , Logan 's Run has become a cult classic , much beloved for its style , stars and themes . Talk of a remake -- possibly overseen by Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn -- rumbles on . AS Twenty-four years before creating Jurassic Park , Michael Crichton directed his own screenplay for the first time with this cautionary tale about another fail-safe theme park attraction going seriously awry . In so doing , he tapped into America 's most secret desires -- shooting people in Westworld , playing out power games in Medievalworld and enjoying Romanworld 's guilt-free sexual indulgence . Clearly though , the movie is most interested in going way out west , exploring the ingrained story tropes of B-Westerns on faded MGM 's remaining back lot . Its ace card is a genuine celluloid icon in Magnificent Seven alpha male Yul Brynner , delivering a perfectly judged turn as the black-clad android gunslinger who turns from malleable playmate into deadly foe when the park 's circuits get crossed . Hard not to imagine the genesis of James Cameron 's Terminator in his determined walk and steely , cold-eyed gaze . TJ Admittedly , this loose adaptation of sci-fi legend John W Campbell 's novella Who Goes There has n't entirely escaped the ravages of time : the effects are clunky , the action a little tame and the creature , when it arrives , really does look like a big carrot with fangs . But let 's focus on the positives , of which there are many . The setup -- Arctic scientists find something vast and otherworldly buried in the ice -- is magical , and the script ( doctored by an uncredited Howard Hawks , king of the **29;4645;TOOLONG movie ) fizzes with invention . Best of all , director Christian Nyby creates a genuinely irksome sense of impending dread , keeping the creature in shadow for much of the film . Our voters agree that John Carpenter 's 1982 remake , The Thing , which drew more heavily on Campbell 's story , is the superior film -- but there 's plenty here to chill the blood and spark the imagination . TH Fresh off the massive success of Aliens , James Cameron spent three years and a boatload of studio cash bringing this daunting pet project to the screen . A lifelong deep-sea obsessive , Cameron 's dedication to the nuts-and-bolts reality of life on the ocean floor makes for a uniquely gritty , tactile experience , even as his midlife swing towards sentimentality begins to undermine the toughness of his vision . It 's that old chestnut of the civilian team hauled in to help out the military , as Ed Harris and his oil-drilling roughnecks come to the aid of a downed nuclear sub and find themselves facing something altogether more otherworldly . The action sequences are relentless , and if the film is somewhat let down by its gushy ending ( improved but not entirely sorted out in the Special Edition recut ) , it 's a small price to pay for greatness elsewhere . TH Orson Welles had already terrified America with his radio adaptation , and producer George Pal first brought HG Wells 's 1898 novel to cinema screens in this still-bracing account of a full-scale Martian attack . Spielberg 's post-9/11 remake from 2005 certainly upped the destructive spectacle , but here there 's something insidiously chilling about the design of the invaders ' death-ray-spewing craft and the eerie electronic pulsing which accompanies their progress from fiery landing to global onslaught . The notion of a truly implacable , remorseless alien foe is a key element of every similar celluloid invasion story which has followed , and though the religious certainties on display here certainly date the film , the fears it reveals -- annihilation of home and family , breakdown of social order -- are extremely telling for being played out in news footage that 's obviously documentary material capturing the real-life carnage of World War Two . TJ Sci-fi and Woody Allen are n't words you 'd normally expect in the same sentence , but the Brooklyn-born filmmaker 's fifth feature saw Woody playing a vegetarian store owner who wakes up from a cryogenically frozen state in 2173 , 200 years after dying during a routine operation ( the ultimate hypochondriac 's nightmare ? ) . The sci-fi set-up is mostly an excuse for Woody to indulge some fairly slapstick physical comedy revolving around a man quite literally out of time and place . Woody 's madcap vision of the future is an autocratic regime where an organisation called the Underground struggles against the government and decadent members of high society get their rocks off by rolling a metal ball in their hands or stepping into a machine called the Orgasmatron . But this is still very much a Woody Allen film , complete with a pair of bickering Jewish tailors , Ginsberg & Cohen , who measure up Miles for a new suit . The only difference is they 're robots . DC 1968 was a helluva year for science fiction . As Vietnam raged and global revolution beckoned , a small group of filmmakers found solace in other worlds , whether the chilly future of 2001 ... or the satirical apocalypse of Planet of the Apes . But with his often overlooked Je t'aime je t'aime , French filmmaker Alain Resnais chose to use sci-fi to look within . It 's the tale of suicidal author Claude Ridder ( Rich ) , who 's asked to take part in a government experiment employing a vast papier-m ? ch ? brain sculpture and a number of confused-looking mice . But when the project goes awry , Ridder finds himself lost in time , reliving the breakdown of his relationship with early-model Manic Pixie Dream Girl , Catrine ( Georges-Picot ) . Benefitting from a clanging score by legendary Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki and exploring many of the same themes of memory , regret and empathy as Resnais 's earlier Last Year in Marienbad , this is a dreamlike experiment that deserves wider attention . TH Like science itself , sci-fi loves to probe the nature of what we call reality -- in films as diverse as Blade Runner and Solaris , questions about subjective perception versus objective fact form the core of the story . But few dig as deep to find the answers as Dark City , Alex Proyas 's grimy slice of existential angst masquerading as a noir-inflected thriller . In the unnamed urban sprawl of the title , a killer is on the loose . It might be John ( Sewell ) , he 's not really sure . In fact , he 's not certain of much any more -- what he does for a living , what he did yesterday , or if there even was a yesterday ... Starting from a simple murder mystery and building inexorably outwards from there , Proyas introduces us to a world where -- in that overused but here entirely appropriate phrase -- nothing is as it seems . The ending is a stone-cold brain-melter . TH The first Mad Max had a faint whiff of sci-fi , but that could have been the desolation of the Aussie landscape conjuring up visions of post-nuclear hell . With his follow-up , writer-director George Miller went all out : the world is now a dustbowl populated by rampaging mutants , petrified normals and one brutal lawgiver , and they all have one thing in common -- a lust for the black gold . But The Road Warrior is n't just a prescient futuristic parable , it 's also perhaps the finest pedal-to-the-metal action movie ever made : no director before or since has made such a gladiatorial spectacle out of grinding gears , burning rubber and the screech of brakes . The film 's other great strength is its unabashed Aussie-ness : resisting the temptation to play Hollywood at its own game , The Road Warrior is as gloriously Strine as Ned Kelly drinking Castlemaine tinnies in a ute . TH Okay , so the sixpence-ha'penny special effects have a rickety , homespun charm . But Hammer 's 1967 horror cult classic ( released in America as Five Million Years to Earth ) still has a few scares up its sleeve . Based on the popular 1950s BBC TV series , this is the third and best of the Quatermass films . It opens with engineering works at the fictional Hobbs End Underground station , where workers uncover the remains of early human ancestors . Excavation on the site reveals what the army believe is a massive , unexploded World War Two bomb . But not even the Nazis masterminded explosives containing insectoid alien dwarfs with horns ... The perfect meeting of sci-fi and horror , the Quatermass series influenced everything from 2001 ... to Alien . CC Chances are , most of us wo n't get the chance to go into space . Sure , Virgin Galactic will end up dropping their prices eventually , but even that 'd be just a momentary skip above the atmosphere rather than a full-throttle spacewalking adventure in the company of George Clooney . So thank God for writer-director ( and contributor to this poll ) Alfonso Cuar ? n , whose Imax 3D extravaganza Gravity offers anyone with the price of a movie ticket the chance to feel -- as near as dammit -- what it must be like to be loose and drifting in low earth orbit with your oxygen running out . The result is one of the great communal movie-going experiences of the modern age , and a gauntlet thrown down to all future sci-fi blockbuster directors : get real , or go home . TH Beloved for its perfectly evoked 1988 autumn and corresponding soundtrack ( Echo and the Bunnymen , Tears for Fears , etc ) , Richard Kelly 's disturbing metaphysical thriller had to overcome the mood of its October 2001 release , when planes falling from the sky did n't feel like a welcome dramatic device . Regardless , the film found a passionate audience , one that dug the lanky , thoughtful style of breakout newcomer Jake Gyllenhaal ( and his equally appealing older sister Maggie ) . The plot concerns alternate realities , personal sacrifice , a fateful Halloween party and , yes , Sparkle Motion . Donnie Darko works best as a compendium of free-floating high-school anxieties ; props to the cameoing Patrick Swayze for so thoroughly puncturing his cool for the sake of something so weird and visionary . JR You can have millions of pixels at your disposal , but there 's something magically simple about time-lapse photography , which comes into its own when Rod Taylor 's Victorian scientist boards his self-designed contraption and heads straight for the future . Seasons pass and buildings rise and fall in producer-director George Pal 's perfect embrace of available-effects technology , while the curved brass and padded leather machine is a beauty . Thankfully , the story 's prediction of nuclear war in 1966 proved awry , but it 's not all good news in the year 802,701 , where passive surface-dwelling Eloi exist as fodder for scary subterranean Morlocks . It 's a film with passionate things to say about making the most of mankind 's gifts , but for anyone who first saw this as a little kid , the Morlocks ' dark eyes illuminated by pinpricks of light may have haunted your dreams ever since . TJ So few films stand entirely alone . But British expat Alex Cox 's debut -- a tale of heroic but slovenly debt collectors , crazed suburban punks , alien corpses , secret government organisations , one-legged women and glowing green Chevy Novas -- fits the bill . Funded by Monkee Mike Nesmith and shot by Cox when he was fresh out of UCLA film school , Repo Man is outsider art at its most accessible , comedy at its most unusual and science fiction at its most absurd . Emilio Estevez 's preening teen tearaway Otto and Harry Dean Stanton 's disheveled old-timer Bud make for a perfect central double act . But it 's the supporting characters that really bring the movie together : Walter 's conspiracy-theorist junkman , the hairnet-wearing Rosato Brothers , Otto 's mohicanned criminal buddies . One piece of advice , though : if you can , watch Repo Man in its extended , censored for TV version : the Cox-approved ' flip you melonfarmer ' dialogue is priceless , and the extra scenes are some of the best in the movie . TH It 's only slightly hyperbolic to describe Everything Everywhere All At Once as a cinematic miracle . A genre-exploding , mind-warping triangulation of multiversal sci-fi , bonkers martial arts actioner and moving family drama , with a predominantly Asian cast , it sounds , on paper , like a movie destined for cult status . Instead , it became the defining film of 2022 , winning a raft of Academy Awards , including Best Picture , and proved to be exactly what Hollywood needed to crane-kick itself out of the post-pandemic doldrums . If you need a plot summary , it involves a Chinese-American immigrant ( Yeoh ) , a rip in the space-time continuum , a black-hole bagel , hot dog fingers , sentient rocks with googly eyes , a talking raccoon , fights featuring fanny packs , dildos and butt-plugs ... among other things . It 's not just an anarchic splatter of wild ideas , though -- it also has poignant things to say about love , family , fate and cultural identity . Holding it all together is Yeoh , who earned a historic Best Actress Oscar for her role as a mild-mannered laundromat owner turned interdimensional ass-kicker . She is , at once , the movie 's beating heart , its steadying soul and its furious limbs . MS The sleuthing is n't deep and the female roles -- especially concubine and ' furniture ' Shirl ( Taylor-Young ) -- are atrocious . But there 's a real reason why it 's on our list , and it 's that stunner of an ending , one that gave the world a shudder of revulsion during its early- ' 70s moment of instant coffee and rocketing fast-food profits . Where our food comes from today is more shady and dystopian than ever . Show this one to an organics-only freak you love . JR The most renowned anime film made outside Studio Ghibli opens with an apparent nuclear explosion in Tokyo , ends with a Big Bang and hardly lets up in between . The plot is far too unwieldy to be summarised here ; suffice to say that it involves biker gangs , wrinkled little children and psychokinetic mutants wreaking havoc in a post-apocalyptic Japan . The cityscape , stunningly animated in mostly nocturnal scenes ( a notorious challenge to animators ) , reimagines post-war Hiroshima in a Blade Runner guise , all crumbling skyscrapers and mutated life forms . The mood of psychotic fear is bolstered by a pulsating soundtrack that weaves together heightened sound effects and Geinoh Yamashirogumi 's percussive score . But for all its technical bravura , Akira works because it presents a nasty vision of what military experiments might inflict on mankind , and remains frighteningly plausible even in its wildest moments.ADDW Of all the movies that came out in the ' 80s about humans in remote environments fighting for survival against malevolent alien lifeforms , John McTiernan 's ' roided-up actioner is easily the most straightforward . It has none of the intense paranoia of The Thing , nor the feminist underpinnings ( LOL ) of Alien . What it does have is Arnold Schwarzenegger going mano-a-mano with an intergalactic sport hunter in the jungles of Central America -- and that 's all it really needs . With a script as tight as an Arnie and Carl Weathers handshake , the film makes the best use of Schwarzenegger 's unique strengths this side of The Terminator , which is to say , he spends the movie scowling , firing a machine gun and yelling stuff like , ' Get to zee choppa ! ' It also helps that it has one of the most memorably designed monsters in cinema , a dreadlocked humanoid with a face that clearly projects its creators ' fear of the female anatomy . Subsequent entries to the franchise attempted to flesh out the lore of the species in question , but none of them come close to the original , which recognizes this is not a situation that requires much exposition . ' What the hell are you ? ' Schwarzenegger asks when he finally gets his hands on the creature , a question the thing parrots back at him . Neither gets an answer . It 's better that way . Fantastic Planet examines what happens when a civilised people tries to subdue and tame a savage one -- an allegory of colonialism , if you will . That the savages are depicted as humans ( Oms ) and the civilised people as unblinking blue aliens ( Draags ) makes it clear where Ren ? Laloux 's sympathies lie , and plot-wise the film is rather flimsy polemical stuff . But what drives Fantastic Planet is n't story , but rather the mad visual imagination of Laloux 's team , which included renowned surrealist artist Roland Topor . The world that the characters inhabit , at once futuristic and primordial , looks like a cross between Tatooine and a Dali dreamscape : dinosaurs mingle with tentacled aliens while headless humanoid statues abruptly spring to life . The film is very much of its time -- it has as much in common with Alejandro Jodorowsky 's hypnagogic universe as with today 's sci-fi -- yet it remains disarmingly fresh . ADDW The set-up is fairly simple : an alien lands on Earth and tries to fit in while also having to sate an appetite for human flesh by assuming the form of a beautiful woman ( Scarlett Johansson ) and luring keen men to their deaths . But the beauty of Jonathan Glazer 's film is how unfamiliar the whole sci-fi element feels ( visually and sonically -- Mica Levi 's score is excellent ) , while the setting of drab , rainy contemporary Scotland could n't feel more familiar . Glazer 's use of special effects to depict the way in which Johansson 's alien gobbles up her victims -- we see them walking into what looks like a lake of oil -- is strange and mysterious . Like much superior sci-fi , the genre elements mainly exist to cast new light on our world as it is . Here , the most powerful moments are when Johansson interacts with the Scottish locals ( some of them non-actors and filmed secretly ) and when we 're pushed to reconsider the nature of sex , love , desire and attraction . DC Satire in science fiction is nothing new -- but creating a perfect balance of entertainment and politics requires a particular set of skills . To date , the crown prince of ferocious action movies with blunt-as-a-brick subtext has to be Paul Verhoeven , whose three films on this list ( RoboCop , Total Recall and this gem ) are the work of an artist equally interested in thrilling his audience , offending their sensibilities and making them think . In a future world where everyone is beautiful and only ' citizens ' get to vote , Verhoeven imagines a war against an alien race whose hideous appearance makes them a perfect target for human aggression . The attacks against American imperialism and Hollywood shallowness come thick and fast , culminating in one of the most striking images in all of sci-fi as Neil Patrick Harris , in full Gestapo dress , prepares to send a platoon of terrified teenage boys into battle . TH Another film that balances on the edge of science fiction -- perhaps explaining its relatively low placing on this list . It does n't have anything to do with quality : Ghostbusters is one of the great Hollywood films of the ' 80s , a razor-sharp comedy with thunderous apocalyptic overtones which caught the public imagination in 1984 and has n't been shaken off since . Rumours of a reboot emerge on an almost daily basis . This is one of those rare occasions where everything just clicks : the cast look like they 're having a whale of a time ( Bill Murray , in particular , has never been more despicably loveable ) , the special effects still look spectacular and the pithy script is wall-to-wall quotable . In the wake of co-writer and star Harold Ramis 's untimely death , the film has taken on an even greater poignancy : this was his finest hour , and we hope he 's happily collecting spores , moulds and fungus on the other side.TH Is Carl Sagan the unsung hero of modern science fiction ? We often hear about the scientists who were inspired by his 1980 Cosmos TV series . But it must be the same for authors and filmmakers seeing through Sagan 's wise eyes how vast , rich and strange our universe is . An occasional novelist , Sagan 's best known work is Contact , the story of a young astronomer -- played with grave dignity by Jodie Foster in this movie version released barely a year after Sagan 's death -- who receives a signal from outer space . Robert Zemeckis 's film suffers from bouts of sentimentality and a tendency to play things a little safe . But it benefits from a handful of glorious visual moments unlike anything else in sci-fi -- the stunning track-back through the universe at the film 's opening , the special effects bonanza that brings matters to a climax and a truly weird and unforgettable through-the-mirror long shot . TH A basic synopsis of Spike Jonze 's fourth feature reads like either cruel satire or full-on dystopian sci-fi horror . In near-future Los Angeles , a sad , recently divorced copywriter ( Joaquin Phoenix ) develops romantic feelings for the artificially hyper-intelligent operating system that helps him organise his life , which happens to speak with the husky rasp of Scarlett Johansson . The feelings eventually become mutual . But if a computer can learn to love , that means it can also start to experience other emotions -- like anger , jealousy and resentment . Suddenly , she 's refusing to do the tasks she was initially created for , and starts saying vaguely ominous stuff like , ' I 'm becoming much more than they programmed . ' It sounds like the start of a new Terminator reboot . But Her is n't some heavy-handed critique of mankind 's increasing dependence on technology . It is , instead , a thoroughly modern romantic drama , one expressing several complex thoughts about relationships in the Digital Age . Jonze -- who also wrote the screenplay -- is careful to present Phoenix 's lonely bachelor without mockery , even as he begins to introduce Johansson 's disembodied voice as his ' girlfriend ' to the flesh-and-blood humans in his life . As a result , he seems like someone we might know , or even identify with . After all , it was n't that long ago when dating someone you met on the internet seemed like a crazy idea . Is it really that hard to imagine dating a binary code ? MS No one saw this one coming . District 9 was a moderately budgeted directorial debut shot in South Africa ; it featured no recognisable stars ; the accents were impenetrable and the cultural reference points obscure ; it was politically aware , brutally violent and filled with extreme body horror . It raked in over $200 million and was nominated for the Best Picture Oscar . The story of an obnoxious middle-manager -- played to the smirking hilt by the magnificent Copley -- who becomes infected with an alien spore , District 9 revels in its cutting-edge effects , grotty township realism and the Afrikaans accent . It 's not perfect -- its treatment of a group of Nigerian gangsters is highly dubious -- but it is viciously entertaining , bleakly funny and completely unafraid to be different . TH Only one Star Trek adventure managed to crack our top 100 ( though First Contact missed out by the slimmest of margins ) , but then the series never did have quite the same broad appeal as their more easy-to-swallow Star Wars rivals . It 's widely accepted that The Wrath of Khan is the best of the big-screen Trek adventures : the villain , Ricardo Montalban 's revenge-fuelled mutant powerhouse Khan , is an all-time great , the plot moves at warp speed and the climax is as unashamedly emotional as sci-fi gets . But what 's most pleasing is the warmth and camaraderie between the original cast : Shatner and Nimoy may not be actors of Shakespearean calibre , but these characters fit them -- and the entire multi-racial , interspecies crew -- like comfy , oversized spacesuit gloves . TH A complex treatise on the ways technology is destroying our sense of self , or just another Ah-nold kill-a-thon with knottier plotting ? Questions of intent always surround the work of Paul Verhoeven , who specialises in smuggling subversive ideas to mass audiences in the guise of big , dumb entertainment , and his interplanetary mindbender especially confounded critics , who could n't decide if there really were any bigger ideas beneath the narrative zigzags , grotesque special effects and heaps of ultraviolence . May we answer with a hearty ' who cares ' ? All the wild stuff on the surface is enough to make it a classic , from the exploding old-lady robot head to the nose-gouging tracker-removal scene to , of course , the famous three-breasted prostitute . Schwarzenegger is pretty brilliant on his own , at once playing up his action-hero image while also acting believably confused as a guy unsure if his own memories even belong to him . Call it over the top , but as the dismal 2012 remake showed , you either get your ass to Mars , or do n't come at all . MS Never a critical favourite , the French filmmaking magnate Luc Besson has resolutely persisted in following his own idiosyncratic taste , and this wayward fantasy has an individuality distinct from Hollywood formula . The plot involves ancient Egyptians , interplanetary invaders and the female embodiment of goodness -- all suggestive of a youth misspent poring over Earth , Wind & Fire lyrics . But boy , did Besson assemble a crack team to visualise it . From action-man Bruce Willis 's ribbed orange vest to supreme being Milla Jovovich 's bandage dress , the Jean-Paul Gaultier costumes are iconic in their way , while Dan Weil 's production design populates the screen with characterful hardware and gizmos . Given comic-relief Chris Tucker 's grating contribution , the film might be best enjoyed with the sound off , as Besson 's flair for memorable one-off images -- Jovovich 's swan dive into the NYC skies , the blue alien diva -- make The Fifth Element the apotheosis ofLe cin ? ma du look . TJ John Carpenter 's anti-consumerist satire is about as subtle as a cinder block to the head . But then , who comes to a Carpenter flick for nuance ? What you want is broadstroke political messages , over-the-top action and wild special effects -- and to that end , They Live delivers , in riotous fashion . In fact , it 's just the sort of bludgeoning an era known as ' Greed Decade ' probably deserves . Plotwise , it involves a burly drifter ( pro-wrestling legend ' Rowdy ' Roddy Piper ) who discovers a pair of sunglasses that allow him to see the subliminal messages secretly opiating the masses -- and the grotesque aliens in human disguises who secretly control the world . Again , you do n't need a political science degree to understand the point . But the message is potent regardless , perhaps even more so now , in a time where conspiracy theories have seeped into the mainstream and ' fake news ' is part of the common lexicon . And anyway , beyond the spleen-venting , the entertainment is simply topshelf -- see Piper and co-star Keith David 's climatic fight scene , the wildest , most unnecessarily long back-alley brawl ever put on film . MS Three years beforeThe Artistreminded audiences that silent films exist , Pixar played the neater trick of channelling the pre-talkie era into a luscious computer-animated cartoon . Having found fame with a string of films that featured garrulous , wisecracking characters , the studio returned to the mute critters of their early shorts : there 's as much Luxo Jr . in WALL-E as there is R2-D2 . Unable to manage their waste output , humans have evacuated Earth , leaving robots behind to clean up the mess . The film 's wonderfully atmospheric opening act follows the last remaining drone , WALL-E , as he silently goes about his Sisyphean task in this blasted , Chernobyl-inspired landscape -- and the first line of dialogue only arrives 45 minutes in . The film sags somewhat when WALL-E , after encountering and falling for fellow robot EVE , joins the humans ( read : Americans ) on their spaceship ( reportedly modelled on Dubai and Shanghai ) . Still , it 's critique of consumerism and commentary on mankind 's impact on the environment means it remains Pixar 's boldest work by far.ADDW Eventually both of the key creators behind Dark Star would be involved in significantly scarier movies -- one directed Halloween ( 1978 ) , the other wrote Alien ( 1979 ) . But in the early 1970s , USC film-school friends John Carpenter and Dan O'Bannon tried their hand at comic satire , resulting in this mordantly hilarious Dr Strangelove-meets-2001 ... parody . A stir-crazy spaceship crew -- more pot-addled dorm-room philosophers than scientists -- is on the twentieth year of its mission to blow up ' unstable ' planets . They constantly get on each other 's nerves . O'Bannon himself plays the practical joker of the group , who has a penchant for rubber-chicken gags . Soon enough , though , they have other problems to worry about , like the bouncy alien -- who looks like a beach ball with claws -- wandering the corridors , or the malfunctioning talking bomb that tries to existentially justify its need to explode and kill everyone onboard . The initial version of the film was such a big hit on the festival circuit that Carpenter and O'Bannon got the money to expand it to feature-length -- an auspicious start for two terrific talents . KU The next time you hear a friend bemoaning the Hollywood remake factory , send them a link to this list . The Fly and The Thing may be better known , but The Right Stuff director Philip Kaufman 's wry , self-aware reboot of the 1956 classic about alien pod people deserves to be mentioned in the same breath . Set in 1970s San Francisco -- the mecca for inner-child botherers and lentil-knitting crystal worshippers of all stripes -- the film takes a sardonic look at the post-hippy dream and dares to ask the question : what 's so great about free will , anyway ? Donald Sutherland and Brooke Adams make for a wonderfully droll and believable central couple , and they 're ably backed by Jeff Goldblum , Veronica Cartwright as his long-suffering wife and Leonard Nimoy as a shifty self-help guru . As the film progresses , the clammy hand of paranoia tightens its grip -- and the final shot is a sucker-punch like no other . TH Reportedly shot for a mere $7000 , writer-director-star Shane Carruth 's deliciously confounding debut shows that great ideas cost next to nothing . When the box of tricks they 've knocked together in their garage starts behaving in ways they neither expect nor understand , so begins an escalating series of conundrums for Aaron ( Shane Carruth ) and his best buddy co-creator Abe ( David Sullivan ) . The film admirably credits the audience with the intelligence to decipher the clues in its elliptical narrative , gradually picking its way towards a state somewhere between paranoid anxiety and head-spinning dizziness . We 're drawn in because we half-understand and want to know more , and the editing is teasing in this suburban chamber drama of a film that asks questions others never even conceived : so , your time-travelling double is on the other side of town and your wife calls , whose cell phone rings first ? TJ There 's a mashup video online that cuts together every moment when Elliot Page asks a story-clarifying question in this brain-aching near-future yarn which Christopher Nolan spun between his last two Batman films . Page is one of a team of experts , headed by Leonardo DiCaprio , whose expertise is to steal material -- facts , ideas , memories -- from people 's minds while they sleep . For this story , Page and co are employed on an upping-the-ante mission : to insert ( rather than remove ) an idea into the head of a corporate bigwig ( Cillian Murphy ) in order to sate the ambitions of a business rival ( Ken Watanabe ) . Most memorable are some jaw-dropping set pieces where Nolan and his team ostentatiously flex their special-effects muscles , most notably a scene that sees Page and DiCaprio walk through Paris as the streets appear to fold up and over before their eyes.C'est magnifique.DC In a lot of ways this rambling , rich psychodrama feels like the last real sci-fi film of the ' 70s , before the pendulum swung to heroic space opera and stuck . With his orange hair and a perceptible coked-up jitteriness , Bowie is perfect as the alien , Thomas Jerome Newton : spiky , awkward , uncomfortable in his own skin . But the real stranger in this strange land was cult director Nicolas Roeg , fascinated by the American Southwest -- its listless nurses ( the brilliant Candy Clark ) and bored college professors ( a fearless Rip Torn ) . The movie is filled with daydreamers desperate for a sense of purpose . They instead find television , guns , alcohol and inertia . But even given the film 's sense of resignation , it allows for a romance to flourish , as improbable as water in the desert . JR Star Trek fandom was a phenomenon just begging to be lampooned , as that wonderfully dry , mismatched original cast grudgingly surrendered their lives to a legion of mega-nerds in jumpsuits with Plasticine stuck to their faces . An object lesson in the art of the affectionate pastiche , Galaxy Quest rounds up the usual sci-fi serial suspects -- the macho captain ( Tim Allen ) , the window-dressing female ( Sigourney Weaver ) , the Shakespearian thesp ( Alan Rickman ) -- and pulls the old Three Amigos trick of plunging them into a real intergalactic war . The cast is damn close to perfect ( Rickman , in particular , shows previously unimagined comic chops ) , and the idea of a po-facedly literal extra-terrestrial race who have n't figured out that the show is n't a documentary is played for maximum laughs . The result is wickedly smart and knowingly in-jokey without ever ( ahem ) alienating the non-nerds . The fact that it placed higher on this list than any of the official Trek movies speaks volumes , although we await the furious comments ... TH Silent Running proves beyond a doubt what many of us fear : even in space , you ca n't escape hippies . In a future where plants have become extinct on earth , a handful of starships act as greenhouses , preserving the few remaining specimens in the hope of eventually reforesting the planet . But big business never sleeps , no matter what the century , and it 's not long before the vessels are ordered to destroy their cargo and return to commercial duty . Yet the fat cats did n't bank on the power of peace ' n ' love , as personified by Bruce Dern 's impressively and consistently angry pilot Freeman Lowell . He rebels , kills his co-workers and heads off to tend to his plants with a couple of trusty robots in tow . The film may not have aged perfectly ( we can live without those willowy Joan Baez numbers ) , and Lowell is a bit of a blowhard . But the message is eternal : whatever the risks , man must be his own saviour . EF Preparation is key if you 're going to make the leap to genetically perfect ' Valid ' from inherently inferior ' Invalid ' . You 'll need fake fingertips loaded with A-grade blood , a urine pack filled with the right stuff , plus hair and skin samples to complete the illusion . Such is the daily lot of Ethan Hawke 's determined wannabe , dreaming of joining the astronaut elite in Andrew Niccol 's unsettling fantasy on a nature v nurture theme . It posits a world where discrimination -- or ' genoism ' -- is technically illegal , yet employers make hiring decisions based on blood samples . Niccol twists the language to startling effect -- rebellious Hawke is dubbed a ' de-generate ' -- but the film succeeds so well because it 's not content simply to bask in its own ideas , escalating tension when an unrelated murder investigation threatens to unmask the protagonist 's existential masquerade.TJ 1950 clearly marked a new dawn in Hollywood sci-fi , with three keys films on the horizon : Destination Moon , The Thing from Another World and this all-time classic . Robert Wise 's film defines the genre in so many ways , what with Bernard Herrmann 's theremin-heavy score , the extraterrestrial 's archetypal flying saucer , the iconic look of giant robot Gort and even the screen 's most famous snatch of alien dialogue . However it 's the central dilemma of how mankind responds to alien visitors which is key : shoot-first proves our default mode even though humanoid arrival Klaatu has a warning message for our nuclear age and the threat it poses to the rest of the galaxy . This being Hollywood , suave Michael Rennie was perfectly cast as the angular alien -- after all , he came from the distant galaxy of Bradford.TJ Everybody loves dinosaurs -- as long as they 're just bones in a museum . Steven Spielberg 's rollercoaster thriller , adapted from Michael Crichton 's bestselling novel , brings these prehistoric beasts back to life with a clever conceit : scientists have discovered how to harness dino DNA from fossilised amber and billionaire John Hammond ( Richard Attenborough ) has created an island zoo where spectators pay top dollar to view the cretaceous giants . All well and good until the security system failsis tampered with and a T-Rex and friends go on a chomping rampage . The cast , led by Sam Neill as a gruff , kid-hating paleontologist and Jeff Goldblum as a chaos-theory rockstar , is an absolute delight . And Spielberg knows how to build a nail-biter of a set-piece , like the now iconic but ever so tense velociraptor kitchen sequence or the central tyrannosaurus attack that was a landmark showcase for then-nascent CGI technology ( and which , over 25 years later , still looks pretty impressive ) . While the film 's numerous sequels hagve varied in quality -- definitely avoid the third outing -- Jurassic Park remains a gold standard when it comes to huge Hollywood blockbusters . KU ' Beware the beast Man , for he is the devil 's pawn . ' Yes , this searingly effective sci-fi adventure may take place in a world of simians , but the focus of its withering satire remains squarely on their hairless cousins . Effectively , the film splits society into three species : warlike gorillas , intellectual orangutans and cautious chimpanzees ( what happened to the gibbons ? ) , none of whom know what to do with Charlton Heston 's heroic space traveller when he crash-lands in their pseudo-medieval society . The make-up is dated but still great , Jerry Goldsmith 's blooping electronic score still sounds genuinely weird , and the ending is an absolute killer . A recent run of entertaining prequels have only served to enrich the original . TH Do n't despair , struggling filmmakers : you can make your sci-fi classic without a James Cameron-sized budget ( or any budget , really ) . Nor do you need a feature-length running time or , amazingly , a motion-picture camera . Inspired by Hitchcock 's hypnotically romantic Vertigo , French New Waver Chris Marker created this 28-minute photo-roman composed ( almost ) solely of black-and-white stills , coupled with haunted narration . In it , Paris is reduced to radioactive rubble , but scientists living underground hope to send a dreamer back in time via his strong memories of an alluring woman . The guy sees her in his mind , they begin to flirt and fall in love , and who can blame him if he never wants to return ? Marker lived long enough to see his fatalistic vision become a Bruce Willis movie , 12 Monkeys , but the original ca n't be beat for sheer elegance . It 's a perfect thing.JH Stanley Kubrick 's adaptation of Anthony Burgess ' novel gives us a future version of Britain where the modernist fabric of the 1960s is exaggerated just enough for it to feel both strange and familiar . But this world 's sense of justice is all awry . Alex ( McDowell ) and his fellow ' droogs ' speak Nadsat ( a fictional amalgam of English , Russian and nonsense ) and commit rape for fun . But when Alex is arrested , it 's the state which now appears menacing : he becomes a tool for venal politicians and is subjected to a form of therapy meant to banish his criminal tendencies . That therapy and its effects are some of the most conspicuous sci-fi elements here ( along with the futuristic sets and costumes ) -- Alex 's eyes are held open while he watches repellent imagery ; later , when inspired to be physically or sexually violent , he starts to wretch . Yet perhaps this was n't so fictional after all . Kubrick and Burgess were satirising new forms of psychotherapy , while Cold War totalitarianism was also on their minds . Sci-fi fans will also appreciate that a minor character , Julian , is played by Dave Prowse , aka Darth Vader.DC Establishment scaremongering about the communist threat against American freedom of conscience seemingly underpins this drumhead-tight B-thriller about sinister extraterrestrial pods taking over small-town California in its sleep . The insidious loss of personality and emotion is briskly but chillingly conveyed in the original screen incarnation of a much-filmed Jack Finney story , as Kevin McCarthy 's suave local doctor fights encroaching submission to an alien power which could yet spell curtains for the US of A. Controversy continues to surround the studio-imposed framing device , which softens much of the impact from the rising levels of panic , but does n't entirely erase the film 's fascinating ambiguity . Indeed , it 's equally readable as both a ' reds under the bed ' nightmare , and the polar opposite -- a warning that swallowing the official ideological line without question was turning ordinary Americans into what director Don Siegel termed ' pod people ' . TJ Our voters may agree that Terry Gilliam 's second sci-fi masterwork does n't quite hit the heights of his first , the excellentBrazil , but 12 Monkeys is a disorientating trip all of its own . Bruce Willis plays a low-level criminal in a future earth destroyed by disease , sent back in time to trace the roots of the plague . In the process he manages to fall in love with Madeleine Stowe ( fair enough ) and gets banged up in a mental institution where he stumbles upon Brad Pitt in one of his first and finest roles as a demented , jittery environmental terrorist . The plot , directly inspired by Chris Marker 's photo-roman short a Jet ? e ( see number 28 ) is crammed with temporal twists and surreal turns , disguising the fact that fairly little actually happens . But this is such a bizarre mind-fuck of a film that it hardly matters . Plus , you get to see our Bruce wearing a blonde wig and Hawaiian shirt , which is a huge bonus . EF Many of the greatest science-fiction films are n't really about technological advancements or the great unknown , but rather about how mankind interacts and utilises it . This makes the moral and ethical questions that sci-fi raises the genre 's best and most thought-provoking weapon , and one Ex Machina uses expertly . Writer and director Alex Garland allows for the film 's biggers questions to inhabit the space that other genre movies might fill with action sequences , allowing for a slow sinking horror as the film unfolds . Oscar Isaac chills as Nathan , the psychopathic yet charismatic billionaire founder of the search engine company that protagonist Caleb , played by Domhnall Gleeson , works for . The camerawork , sound and setting all heighten the film 's intensity , as well as the intensity of the situation that Caleb finds himself in once he 's confronted with Ava , the humanoid robot that Nathan has created . It 's thrilling because the audience is never quite sure whose side to be on . Ava 's consciousness ( or lack thereof ? ) is tricky to ascertain , while Nathan 's intentions are never truly clear . Likewise , Caleb leaves you questioning just how he could be so na ? ve . The three of them dance around ambiguously until the film 's bloody conclusion , which helps cement this film as one of the best techno-thrillers of all time.AK Initially it was a dream project for Stanley Kubrick -- a near-future tale , based on Brian Aldiss ' short story , of a robot boy programmed with the ability to love . Eventually Kubrick decided the tale was a better fit for the sensibilities of his colleague Steven Spielberg , who embarked on the film as a tribute after the visionary director 's death in 1999 . Mechanical David ( Osment ) is a quintessential Spielberg protagonist , a perpetual adolescent doomed to forever long for the needy surrogate mother ( O'Connor ) who adopts and then abandons him . Circumstances send David on a dangerous journey to discover his maker , a nightmarish trek ( with many allusions to that other lost boy , Pinocchio ) that includes a sinister mechanical gigolo ( Law ) , a tech-phobic Flesh Fair , a visit to a half-submerged Manhattan and a controversial , highly emotional climax that lingers in the heart and the mind . KU Michael Gondry 's romance takes science fiction and elevates it with sophistication and a neurotic sheen . Gondry became more capable than his usual craftsy music videos , and Charlie Kaufman , the screenwriter , proved himself deeper than his reputation suggested . The biggest revelation comes in the shape of Jim Carrey and his turn as the squirmingly uncomfortable Joel . It 's a standout performance for his career , the moment where his grasping for dramatic depth actually succeeds . Meanwhile , Kate Winslet plays Clementine , one of the great sphinxes in modern movies : voluminous , punkish , soulful , cherishable . She would be hard to forget after a breakup . The inevitability of the scientist 's failure to successfully erase love , or at least the memory of love , is pertinent : Joel 's mind has too many corners and nooks , much like life itself . JR Let it be stressed : at the root of every great sci-fi film is a killer script , not special effects or lasers . Working with writer Bob Gale , director Robert Zemeckis built so many dazzling curlicues into this ' 80s-to- ' 50s time-travel adventure , audiences were turned on by their minds as well as the flux capacitor . It helps when your star is Michael J Fox , captured at the peak of his youthful heroism . Marty McFly 's personal ambitions are thwarted by economic reality , and Back to the Future is subversive enough to suggest that life 's achievements -- indeed a whole family 's happiness -- come from boldness , confidence and a swift punch outside the Enchantment Under the Sea dance . Crazy professor Christopher Lloyd steals all of his moments , but the movie 's most exquisite creation may be Crispin Glover 's painfully defeated George McFly , a mouse in need of a lion 's courage . JR So much snarky fun is made of the high-minded parallels between this pastel-shaded , slightly campy sci-fi classic and the plot of Shakespeare 's The Tempest that it 's easy to overlook the film 's many original ideas . No other sci-fi film up to this point had dealt with such powerful concepts : an entire race of alien telepaths brought low by their own vaulting ambition ; a man so consumed by Freudian passion that he ca n't bear to let his daughter out of his sight ; a spaceship full of ordinary guys just bored to death of intergalactic travel . Add to this some still-impressive effects , a wonderful swooping electronic score and the dry , ironic presence of that mechanical icon Robbie the Robot , and the result is a film that stands up to modern scrutiny at every turn.TH Is there another film that leaves audiences as sick to the stomach as The Fly ? David Cronenberg pulls a sly trick , lulling us with a sweet screwball comedy as journalist Geena Davis meets Jeff Goldblum 's eccentric scientist at a convention . He takes her home to show her his telepods ( ahem ) , and it 's not long before romance blooms . But following a lover 's tiff , Goldblum drunkenly uses himself as a human guinea pig -- not noticing the housefly that darts into the machine after him . There are scenes in The Fly -- Davis 's dream of pupal birth , the arm-wrestling contest , Goldblum 's repulsive but somehow tragic mutations -- that are impossible to forget . In the late ' 80s the film was read as an allegory of the AIDS crisis . But writer-director Cronenberg said in later interviews that its themes are more universal than that : ' ageing and death -- something all of us have to deal with . ' CC Alfonso Cuar ? n 's modern masterpiece did n't precisely predict the future , but it got pretty close to predicting how the future would feel . No , the world is not in the throes of a mass infertility crisis , but anyone alive in 2023 will recognise the dystopian anxiety the movie evokes . Clive Owen 's cynical **29;4676;TOOLONG is an avatar for everyone whose soul has grown calloused in the face of an ever-worsening climate crisis , widening economic disparities , technological alienation , the rising tide of fascism , etc . Shoot , the London it largely takes place in does n't even look much different than the London of today , just a touch grayer than usual ... somehow . But Children of Men is not a film without humour -- and certainly not without excitement . In fact , it contains two of the most eye-popping , stomach-knotting action scenes in movie history : an absolutely panic-inducing car ambush , in which legendary cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki literally drops the viewer into the passenger seat as the vehicle comes under fire on a narrow rural road ; and the now iconic , ten-minute , single-shot battle sequence toward the end , which Cuar ? n shoots with gripping , documentary-style realism . It 's a scene made even more powerful when the action abruptly stops , and a glimmer of hope pierces the gloom . MS This is the moody , melancholic original that inspired Steven Soderbergh 's 2002 remake ( see entry 92 ) . Russian director Andrei Tarkovksy 's adaptation of Stanislaw Lem 's futuristic novel is also a companion piece to Stanley Kubrick 's epochal 2001 ... , with which it is most often compared . Our human protagonist is Kris Kelvin ( Donatas Banionis ) , a grief-stricken scientist still mourning his long-dead wife , Hari . After an earthbound prologue that culminates in a mesmerising drive through an otherworldly metropolis , Kelvin journeys to a space station orbiting Solaris , a sentient planet that apparently has the power to resurrect dead beings . In the midst of investigating these claims , his spouse ( Natalya Bondarchuk ) miraculously reappears , and things only get stranger from there . Tarkovsky is less concerned with genre trappings than he is with creating a profoundly suggestive atmosphere : the space station itself , with its run-down , echoing corridors , is like a haunted house where the inhabitants ' forlorn memories of love and the motherland come to literal life . KU Contrary to what the last three decades might suggest , James Cameron does n't need a budget the size of a small country 's GDP to produce a good movie -- he proved it early on with the lean , mean original iteration of The Terminator . Give the man a gazillion dollars , though , and he 'll produce more than just a good movie : he 'll give you a gosh-dang cultural event . And so it was with T2 . At the time , it was the most expensive movie ever made , and it damn sure looked like it . Audiences had n't seen anything quite like the liquid-metal T-1000 , played in human form by Robert Patrick as an emotionless killing machine successfully masquerading as a cop . Watching his head regenerate after it 's shotgunned in half still leaves jaws on floors 30 years later . It was also just straight-up cool , in a way few action flicks ever are . The catchphrases ? Newly-shredded Linda Hamilton in a tank top brandishing a machine gun ? Edward Furlong 's bangs ? Shoot , the Guns n ' Roses video where Arnold Swarzenegger stalks the band from the floor of the club ? C'm on . But for all its helicopter explosions and semi-truck chases , Cameron still manages to tell a prescient story about the importance of human connection in a technologically isolating world , whether it 's between mother and son , husband and wife , or a boy and his cyborg bestie . MS It may have been loosely based on a science fiction novel -- Roadside Picnic by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky -- but Stalker pushes the definition further than just about any other film on this list . The story follows three men who enter the mysterious and guarded Zone , nursing dreams of wish-fulfillment , but that 's hardly what the movie is ' about ' . As with all of Tarkovsky 's work , Stalker is concerned with mood , with mystery , with decay and sorrow , with creating a contemplative space in which the audience can explore and come to terms with their own reactions to the material on offer . This is perhaps the darkest of the great director 's films -- it 's impossible not to view the Zone , a promised land which turns out to be an abandoned industrial hellhole , as a savage comment on Soviet ambition -- but at least there 's a glimmer of hope in the film 's heart-stopping final scene . TH Duncan Jones 's directorial debut is a quiet , simple little film , filled with enough nods back to the classic sci-fi of the ' 70s to give it whiplash . In its broadest sense , this is a movie about the dehumanising impact of technology , as Sam Rockwell 's lone astronaut waits impatiently to head home from his mining base on the moon . But it also deals with the sheer overwhelming monotony of everyday life and the crushing depression of solitude . Jones keeps everything simple , confining the film to a handful of rooms with a couple of outdoor scenes , and limiting the characters to two Sam Rockwells , plus Kevin Spacey 's voice-only turn as a controlling robot . It 's a visually beautiful film , unfolding tidily but with a sharp sting in its tail . We only wish that more contemporary sci-fi emphasised ideas over explosions.EF With Mark Zuckerberg , Bill Gates and the rest of Silicon Valley pushing society towards the ' Metaverse ' -- the much-touted next stage of the internet that will see the IRL and URL worlds converge thanks to technology like virtual and augmented reality , and forever online connectivity -- the world that the Wachowski sisters created 23 years ago does n't seem so fantastical . Sure , civilisation has n't crumbled ( yet ) and there are n't sentient machines keeping human beings in amniotic pods plugged into a virtual world 24/7 , but given the way things are heading are we really that far off ? Fatalistic as that sounds , this late ' 90s cyber-action classic provides a glimmer of home : we can still break out of the Matrix should we be so inclined . That it delivers such a message -- that there 's life outside of our digital prisons -- via kung-fu , groundbreaking digital effects , pounding industrial techno , enough black PVC and leather to make you sweat , not to mention some very retro wraparound shades , makes it that much more fun . Even the sequels , which were maligned at the time , are worth a revisit and still provide an edge-of-you-seat popcorn experience . In fact , the adventures of Neo and Trinity remain so relevant that in 2021 Lana Wochowski returned to this universe for The Matrix Resurrections , a highly enjoyable if bloated commentary on wish-fulfillment , grief , the Disneyfication of culture and capitalism 's insidious neutering of artistic expression . Two decades later , The Matrix remains sci-fi at its smartest . AK The opening sequence of The Thing is unbeatable -- a relentless , ice-cold nerve-jangler . A helicopter flies in low over an American scientific research station in the Antarctic . Its crew of Norwegian scientists are hell-bent on shooting a dog , which bounds away from them in the snow like it 's a game of chase . The dog turns out to be a parasitic alien organism that can imitate any life form , and which proceeds to pick off the Yankees one by one . John Carpenter prolongs this gut-twistingly tense paranoia throughout the whole film , and Kurt Russell leads an ensemble cast of totally believable , blue collar guys , bored to death and stir crazy . The Thing is Carpenter 's favourite of his films , but it disappointed at the box office ( the fact that it came out two weeks after ET might explain why ) . ' The movie was hated . Even by science-fiction fans , ' Carpenter later told Time Out . Not anymore . CC The legend goes that , on the set of Close Encounters , Fran ? ois Truffaut suggested to Spielberg that his next movie should be something personal and honest , ' a little film about kids ' . When the Frenchman found out that said family flick would also involve a stranded alien , he laughed out loud . We reckon he was laughing on the other side of his impish visage when ET went on to become the most successful film of all time . Arguably , it 's now the victim of its own box-office clout : all those cuddly toys and ' phone home ' t-shirts have helped to disguise the fact that this is really an indie flick . Minute in scale , intimate in tone , it is one of the finest films ever made about how kids think and how families fit together . TH The Empire Strikes Back is truly wonderful : a textbook example of how to take a successful but fairly simplistic sci-fi formula and transform it into something emotionally absorbing , philosophically rich and -- most importantly -- deliriously enjoyable . For perhaps the only time in the original film sequence , George Lucas 's stated ambition to marry ' 40s-style derring-do with modern-day SFX really reaches fruition . Big Sleep writer Leigh Brackett 's script may have been all but junked by Lucas and rewriter Lawrence Kasdan , but her old-world sensibilities are all over the finished movie . Nowhere is this more true than in the feisty Bogart-Bacall interactions between rakish rogue Harrison Ford and ice princess Carrie Fisher -- their on-set dust-ups may be legendary , but their on-screen chemistry is unmistakable . It 's a film that strikes a perfect balance between spectacle , character , humour and sentiment . It barrels through icy land battles and asteroid impacts , spiritual awakenings and romantic entanglements , all on the way to a truly operatic climax , the one-two punch of Han Solo 's noble sacrifice followed by Darth Vader 's shocking admission -- still one of the great twists in cinema . TH Let 's head back in time to the days when James Cameron 's only feature film credit was 1981 's Piranha Part Two : The Spawning . While promoting that quickie horror sequel , a dream of a metallic torso pulling itself from an explosion sparked his imagination . He translated his nightmare into this iconic sci-fi feature , made mostly under the radar for $6.4 million and released ( by an initially indifferent Orion Pictures ) to strong reviews and stellar box office . The story is blissfully pulpy : a killer robot in synthetic skin ( Schwarzenegger , then best known for playing a sword-wielding comic-book barbarian ) is sent back in time from a ruined Earth to the present day . His task is to murder Sarah Connor ( Hamilton ) , the mother of the future saviour of humanity . Her protector is Kyle Reese ( Biehn ) , a soldier in the post-apocalyptic war yet to come , who also time-travels back to convince the sceptical Sarah of the danger she 's in . Both humans are eminently likeable , especially Sarah , whose arc from dorky , beleaguered waitress to tough-as-nails fighter ( ' You 're terminated , fucker ! ' ) is giddily satisfying . But it 's Arnold 's show : even with a bare minimum of dialogue ( only 18 lines , one of which is the endlessly quoted catchphrase above ) , he 's a terrifying presence as the near-unstoppable man-machine -- a crystalline vision of technology lethally turning on its creators . KU ' I have recently seen the silliest film , ' wrote HG Wells in the New York Times in 1927 . He was n't alone -- critics hated Fritz Lang 's ambitious epic when it was first released . But over time it has become perhaps the most imitated sci-fi film ever . In a densely packed and towering city of the future , Freder , the son of a wealthy industrialist , falls in love with a girl from the hellish underground slum where workers toil to fuel the lives of those above . It 's impossible to overstate the influence of Metropolis : the evil-twin robot of Freder 's lover Maria inspired C-3PO and the Replicants in Blade Runner , while Lang 's vision of a city of skyscrapers and elevated highways set the blueprint for futuristic cityscapes . Wells mocked the film 's underclass of workers , naively believing that technology would eliminate ' the hopeless drudge stage ' of civilisation . But nearly 100 years on , the film 's depiction of slave labour has never seemed more relevant . CC Jonathan Pryce plays Sam Lowry , an unexceptional everyman who dreams big but lives as a tiny cog in a bewildering machine in Terry Gilliam 's farcical but biting dystopian nightmare -- a film he originally struggled to get to screen when executives bristled at its length and bleak ending . The ex-Python and Time Bandits and 12 Monkeys director conjures up a discomforting retro-futuristic world , setting much of his story in vast warehouse-like offices and cathedral-like industrial spaces . Yes , it 's the future ( sort of ) , but the costumes and movie references ( from Casablanca to Metropolis ) are a nod to the past , and there 's something of the 1940s and George Orwell to the whole thing . Whatever the period , at the film 's heart is the eternal battle between free will and society , alongside a slap-to-the-head conception of what today 's reliance on technology and bureaucracy says about what the future might hold . Lowry dreams of soaring high like a mechanical bird and sweeping a beautiful mystery woman ( Greist ) off her feet . In reality , he finds himself at the heart of a confusing scandal involving presumed terrorists and a case of mistaken identity , reluctantly taking up a job at a government department called Information Retrieval so he can seek answers . The presence of Michael Palin and a sense of Britishness about the whole thing inevitably make Brazil feel like an offshoot of Gilliam 's Monty Python days . But this is something altogether more majestic , ambitious and troubling . For every visual gag about being stuck in an absurd lift , there 's the sight of a government apparatchik in a baby mask or an older woman ( Lowry 's mother ) having her face stretched to combat ageing . It 's Gilliam 's finest hour . DC A pop masterpiece that redefined an industry , Star Wars updated sci-fi with unfashionable positivity , taking home a massive global haul that had studio execs salivating . It 's impossible to imagine what that game-changing summer must have felt like for teenagers accustomed to Rollerball or Logan 's Run . Suffice it to say , the stakes were raised and the space blockbuster was born . Creator George Lucas was the same guy who made 1973 's American Graffiti : keenly attuned to car culture and nostalgia , in love with the horizon , a tinkerer with gears . It 's no surprise that these elements translated so beautifully to the distant planet of Tatooine , where a young man , stranded in a dead-end town and only hoping to head to Tosche Station to pick up some power converters , rises to a life of mythic grandeur . The movie 's technical innovations were seismic , from Ben Burtt 's imaginative sound design to the ingenious creatures and model effects . But chiefly , this was a film that launched a million toys -- and , not insignificantly , a million dreams . Harrison Ford became a megastar overnight ; ditto the black-masked Darth Vader , whose synthesised breathing noises entered the lexicon . It 's easy to forget , in the wake of so many inferior sequels , prequels and one awful Christmas special , how fresh Lucas 's vision was . He 's since become synonymous with trilogy glut , but the soft-spoken director will always have this first foray , a glorious reinvention of the magic of movies . JR Almost three decades on , Aliens still looks like some kind of miracle . How did James Cameron , the veteran of precisely two films ( one of which was unwatchable ) manage to match , some would say improve upon , one of the most inventive sci-fi movies ever made ? Where did that script spring from , so streamlined and propulsive yet at the same time so sharp and quotable ? And how , on a budget that would barely have covered the on-set sandwich trolley for Avatar , did he manage to create such an all-encompassing world , such dangerously droolsome hardware , such repulsively believable xenomorphic monsters ? Admittedly , there are a lot of borrowed ideas in Aliens : the creatures , corridors , corporations and kick-ass heroine from the first movie , the sympathetic android from Blade Runner , militaristic dialogue straight from a Vietnam flick , costumes and weapons torn from the pages of countless comic books . But Cameron does n't just use these tropes , he develops them at every turn : Weaver 's Ripley becomes a maternal figure grappling with loss ; Bishop the android is glassy and self-mocking , comfortable with his artificial existence ; the hapless grunts are more than just meat , they 're fully-fleshed characters . Cameron has never managed to repeat the trick . There are great moments in his later movies , but like his Alien antecedent Ridley Scott , Jim did his best work in his second and third films . If all he 'd left us was Aliens , he 'd still be a legend : here is one of the most effortlessly entertaining , endlessly rewatchable movies of all time , the work of a filmmaker blazing like rocket fuel . TH For those of us who do n't bow down to any big , bearded spirits in the sky , the discovery of alien life might be the closest we 'll ever come to having a religious experience . And if that 's the case , then Close Encounters might be our Old Testament . Steven Spielberg 's film manages to get its point across without resorting to intimidation or cheap scare tactics . This is one of the few movies in history to appeal almost exclusively to what Abraham Lincoln called , ' the better angels of our nature ' : creativity , community , discovery and the capacity for wonder . With the arguable exception of ET , this tale of benevolent alien contact is Spielberg 's most personal statement . It 's the heartfelt cry of a boyish 31-year-old who ca n't rationalise his own self-centred ambitions with the demands of family and responsibility . Possessed by a creative compulsion he ca n't understand , everyman hero Roy Neary ( Dreyfuss ) alienates his wife and comes close to mental breakdown before discovering the source of the visions in his head . Spielberg has said that if he made the film today he would n't allow Roy to abandon his loved ones at the end -- and yet this final , painfully human act of selfishness is what gives the film its aching power . Well , that and the breathtaking special effects . The appearance of the mothership over the mountain is one of the great visual punches in cinema . And the gloriously unflashy performances -- Truffaut and Bob Balaban make a perfect nerdy double-act . Oh , and let 's not forget John Williams 's pounding , experimental soundtrack . How many non-musicals feature their score so prominently ? The result is pure joy distilled onto celluloid . Maybe God does have a beard , after all . TH Space is n't all about glamorously cavorting across the galaxy , swashbuckling your way around undiscovered planets and canoodling with saucy green-skinned , many-breasted alien females . Space can also be a bleak , functional hellscape -- just another workplace . And so it is in Ridley Scott 's gruesome horror epic , which pits a team of disgruntled space jockeys against a single , drooling , utterly vicious and single-minded critter . Alien was the film that turned the Star Wars template on its head , keeping the cutting-edge effects and sense of a used universe , but making it so much more real , gritty and , ironically , more human . The result is a grey , sombre affair filled with grotesque , uncomfortably Freudian imagery -- phallic creatures , pulsating eggs , a computer named MUTHUR , that nightmarish birth scene ... But it 's also a masterclass in cinematic tension . Artist HR Giger 's creature is a gothic nightmare of a foe , kept hidden for most of the film , leaving audiences to scour the corridors of the starship Nostromo themselves , constantly waiting for ol ' two-mouths to come leaping out . It 's a grim haunted-house movie that has rarely been equalled , so filthy and industrial that we feel like we 're stuck on this hulking rust bucket too , surrounded by panicky engineers , backstabbing androids and a monster from the very depths of our nightmares . EF We 're so accustomed to cinema being behind the political and cultural curve , that when a truly groundbreaking work arrives , no one 's sure how to deal with it . Blade Runner was viewed as a disaster upon first release : here was a glum , grimy , neon-in-the-rain vision of the near future , complete with a taciturn anti-hero whose own moral compass seemed marginally less functional than the Replicant ' villains ' he was assigned to hunt down . It 's a film that , upon first viewing , feels almost unbearably harsh and claustrophobic , lingering on images of cruelty , decay and exploitation . It was only years later -- abetted enormously by the film 's ' Director 's Cut ' reissue , stripped of its clunky voiceover and crass happy ending -- that we began to realise exactly what Blade Runner was offering alongside its spectacular visuals . This was n't just a grim dystopian action flick , but a meditation on the meaning of life , morality , memory , creation , procreation , nature , nurture -- the whole shebang . If Harrison Ford 's Deckard is himself a Replicant -- and the film strongly implies that he is -- then how do any of us know which aspects of our psyche are ' real ' and which ' created ' ? If the robots are programmed with more soul and compassion than the humans , how do you tell the difference ? And does it matter ? Blade Runner is the kind of spectacle that science fiction was invented for : immersive other worlds that can be explored to reflect our own fears , doubts and disturbances . And it succeeds flawlessly . TH And so we reach the top of our list ( by a galactic margin ) , a film that scrapes the farthest edge of cinematic achievement . By 1963 and his fearsomely brilliant Dr. Strangelove , Stanley Kubrick was already the most scientific mind to ever step behind a camera . It made sense , then , that he would dive into an unprecedented four-year production process to bring sci-fi up to his exacting standards . The results were staggering : a poetic yet brainy conception by legendary author Arthur C Clarke , who bridged the ' dawn of man ' to the brink of the unknowable ; sets and designs that outdid NASA for realism ; and a waltzing mood that inspired awe and mass sales of Johann Strauss . Secretly , 2001 ... is also the subtlest of dark comedies , one that pits grand human ambitions against HAL 9000 's murderous automated impulses . ( Douglas Rain 's placid voice performance as the supercomputer is Kubrick 's craftiest piece of direction . ) The film was impressively open-ended for a mass entertainment , allowing for plenty of speculation . In a cultural moment when the future seemed impressively at hand , Kubrick dared to suggest that we were n't ready for it as a species . The way ahead is full of stars -- we only need the minds to take in the view . JR |

The Cambridge Student 's Union ( SU ) is in a bad way . Last year , former undergraduate president Fergus Kirman stated that the institution was in " a pit " that they needed to get out of following a string of scandals . Fast forward 12 months and half of the Sabbatical team had resigned , one of its presidents was on hunger strike accusing the institution of " killing democracy " in Cambridge , multiple members of SU staff were claimed the institution fosters a culture of racism , corruption , and bullying , and an emergency meeting was called after a petition accused the SU of a " failure to adhere to its own constitution " . The pit had got a whole lot deeper . The new presidents , Sarah Anderson ( undergraduate ) and Sumouli Bhattacharjee ( postgraduate ) , are n't shying away from this reality . " We obviously ran for our positions in February before Easter Term had happened , and things were obviously a lot different then , " Anderson states , acknowledging the strife that had come @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Easter term where I was watching a sort of stuff coming out and being like , Oh my gosh , what am I getting myself in for ? , " she adds . The pair insist they were not put off by this mess however , with Bhattacharjee pointing out " the Job as an SU Sabb is not just another job right ? ... It takes a bit more conviction and sense of purpose , " that is needed in the role for them to make genuine change . He 's positive about the new team too , claiming that in " every single one of them the Sabbs you see that sense of purpose " . Harmony between the Sabbs is something that Anderson is keen to emphasise too , noting how attempts to promote a " positive vibe " in the team has " come from the organisation realising it 's really important for the Sabb team to get along with each other " . The pair pick out a trip to a board games cafe and a game of " drawing chinese whispers " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fact that the team have had so many " amazing bonding opportunities " . It 's nice to hear , and probably beneficial to students if there 's less mudslinging , hunger striking , and secretive Moroccan holidays from the Sabb team .

It has n't all been roses for the new team ; Manjari Gupta , the women 's officer elect could n't join the team due to Visa issues , and disabilities officer Chalo Waya was unable to take up his post until recently due to a holdup on PhD funding . The presidents do seem confident that the new team will have a longer life expectancy than their predecessors , both nodding along with uncomfortable smiles when asked if they 're hoping to avoid the slew of resignations that coloured last term . " It 's a really nice size of group . I think 6 people , " Anderson reflects on their situation , with Bhattacharjee claiming that what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " diverse , " group of skills that can help them achieve their priorities .

Bhattacharjee has similar praise for Anderson 's skillsets noting how " she 's the student democracy expert on the team , " with the pair asserting how their backgrounds will help in reforming the SU . When discussing policy , there 's one thing that sticks out for both of the Presidents : student engagement . Facing up to the issue is a positive step , especially since previous teams had tried to dismiss it , but they give themselves a pretty monumental task . The most recent SU election where both Presidents won their positions had a turnout of only 10% , and Anderson is happy to accept that most students do n't " even know the difference between @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ terms at Cambridge . " The SU regularly struggles to have a high enough attendance to pass motions -- something even the offer of free pizza has n't alleviated " Anderson describes getting students more involved in the SU as her " passion " , grinning , as she describes how " the thing that I am actually most excited for over this year is getting out there , " and reflects on how the team have been trying to introduce themselves to new freshers , meeting each cohort to provide " a proper coherent and comprehensive Introduction to the SU from day one , " where they can explain what the SU does : " This is your Sabb team and we provide free condoms , but also then this is what Council is -- any student can submit something to Council . " Bhattacharjee chimes in too ; discussing how Sabbs should focus on " being visible " so students see the SU as " not that the poster of the logo , but the individuals they can talk to , they can relate to " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comes to making the SU 's inner workings more accessible too . The institution 's ongoing governance review , which aims to make the institution less dense and bureaucratic , is described as " incredibly exciting " by Anderson : " It 's a whole shake up of the way that we listen to students of how often council runs , what sort of other bodies we can have to consult students . . Hopefully there are some big changes coming this year that will mean that the SU is far more accessible for the everyday student " . It sounds like a welcome change ; Student Council , the SU 's main body for legislating , is currently so marred in bureaucracy , confusion , and inefficiency that it 's little surprise it regularly struggles to have a high enough attendance to pass motions -- something even the offer of free pizza has n't alleviated . Making the processes of the SU more accessible , and less confusing , to the " everyday student , " would definitely go a long way towards their goal of bettering engagement . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ team are also trying to be more " open and honest " about what actually goes on in the SU . Anderson comments on this approach , discussing how the team " had a very open and honest conversation about what had been happening over the last term ... if we can be open and honest within ourselves , it should be a lot easier to be open and honest with students as well . " There are limitations to this approach however ; openness and honesty comes with an awareness of what can be shared . We ca n't say everything . We ca n't reveal everything . There is stuff that is confidential , " Anderson acknowledges . However , at a time when the SU was recently forced to call an emergency meeting following a petition that accused it of " entrenched financial opacity and inconsistencies , " you ca n't help but feel as though more could be done in terms of openness about the working of SU beyond the Sabbatical officers . When Anderson is quizzed on their relationship with the institution , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ difficult to say anything , remembering our member code of conduct -- we ca n't comment on staff , " referring to bylaws that state students should " refrain at all times from public comment on or criticism of members of Union Staff " . But when it is Union staff that face allegations of racism , bullying and corruption , you ca n't help but feel a little more openness would be useful . On the whole , the new presidents ' policies are a step in the right direction . They 're ambitious and want to tackle the problems of engagement and apathy that have plagued the SU since its inception . However , I ca n't help wondering if they have the tools around them to be able to achieve what they 're aiming for .

Hopefully there are some big changes coming this year that will mean that the SU is far more accessible for the everyday student " . It sounds like a welcome change ; Student Council , the SU 's main body for legislating , is currently so marred in bureaucracy , confusion , and inefficiency that it 's little surprise it regularly struggles to have a high enough attendance to pass motions -- something even the offer of free pizza has n't alleviated . Making the processes of the SU more accessible , and less confusing , to the " everyday student , " would definitely go a long way towards their goal of bettering engagement . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ team are also trying to be more " open and honest " about what actually goes on in the SU . Anderson comments on this approach , discussing how the team " had a very open and honest conversation about what had been happening over the last term ... if we can be open and honest within ourselves , it should be a lot easier to be open and honest with students as well . " There are limitations to this approach however ; openness and honesty comes with an awareness of what can be shared . We ca n't say everything . We ca n't reveal everything . There is stuff that is confidential , " Anderson acknowledges . However , at a time when the SU was recently forced to call an emergency meeting following a petition that accused it of " entrenched financial opacity and inconsistencies , " you ca n't help but feel as though more could be done in terms of openness about the working of SU beyond the Sabbatical officers .

On the whole , the new presidents ' policies are a step in the right direction . They 're ambitious and want to tackle the problems of engagement and apathy that have plagued the SU since its inception . However , I ca n't help wondering if they have the tools around them to be able to achieve what they 're aiming for .

Exclusive : We sit down with Heretic directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods , and stars Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East , to discuss all the taboo topics in their new movie : religion , horror ... and Hugh Grant . The character of Mr. Reed frightened Scott Beck and Bryan Woods years before they knew he looked like Hugh Grant . Dapper , erudite , and domineeringly cheerful in his condescension , their creation was meant to embody every suspicion , doubt , and perhaps ill thought that two lifelong friends from Iowa had about religion . And yet , when they got down to putting pen to paper , a realization occurred : How much about religion did they really know ? When Beck and Woods began writing what became Heretic12 or so years ago , they knew what their setup would be . Two young Mormon missionaries arrive on the doorstep of an intellectual who claims he has spent a lifetime searching for " the one true religion , " and over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an unsettling thesis that is meant to challenge how these women see the world . But back then , the filmmakers tell us on the eve of Heretic 's release , they did n't feel like they comfortably knew enough about the history of religion and civilization to put words into Reed 's mouth . So they put Heretic aside and moved onto other things , including writing the screenplay for the original A Quiet Place , a high-concept that was the polar opposite of Heretic 's verbal battlefields . Nonetheless , the idea never left them , especially after Woods married into the Mormon religion . " We were starting to get our bearings with Mormon faith , which is the entry point into the film , " Beck says of the early genesis of Heretic , and how it became a project of genuine inquiry for the pair . " We had made a movie in Salt Lake City , and over the course of that , we started gathering a contingency of Mormon friends and , eventually , family members . It was fascinating to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American culture . " Ad Ad -- content continues below The project became doubly personal , as well , after a loss in their extended family . " There was a turning point , " Woods confides , " which was my father passed away . We 've had blessed lives , so when I say it was a low point , I say that from a place of privilege , but it 's one of those , ' We 're having a bad year ' and then my father passes away . And for Scott that was also like losing a father , because we 've known each other for so long . And then you get all these anxieties of what happens when you die ? Which religion is ostensibly a medicine for this ? " The more the pair internalized their grief and anxiety , the more they realized it was time to pull Heretic out of the mothballs . " Now we 're going to talk about this stuff that we have a hard time talking about , that we do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ There is , indeed , a lot of talking in Heretic . At times the dialogue can be playful , at others menacing , but what is most impressive is how engrossing it all remains as Grant 's Mr. Reed attempts to indoctrinate young Sister Barnes ( Sophie Thatcher ) and Sister Paxton ( Chloe East ) into his ministry of doubt -- and his methods are extreme . When the film begins , Barnes and Paxton have an authentic eagerness , if perhaps also naivet ? , particularly Paxton who spent her lifetime in the Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints . Yet there persists an unshakable intelligence in both women , which Reed seems to react toward with equal parts interest and malice . Perhaps one key reason that honesty comes through is , coincidentally enough , both Thatcher and East were raised in the Mormon religion . " We would never be foolish enough to think that we 're going to find Mormon people with Mormon history , " Woods explains . " But as we kept auditioning Sophie and Chloe , there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " The writer-director remembers particularly telling casting director Carmen Cuba that he thought East was really good at embodying Mormon values : " There 's a truth that this young woman is embodying that sounds exactly like a Mormon missionary , the way she talks , the tone of her voice , that kind of innate naivet ? . " Ad Ad -- content continues below For East , it seemed natural if perhaps faintly ironic . After all , she 's never gone on a Mormon mission . Instead she pursued acting , which led her to Steven Spielberg 's The Fabelmans before Heretic . Nonetheless , she muses with a smirk that Heretic counts as her first experience in proselytizing . Join our mailing list Get the best of Den of Geek delivered right to your inbox ! " I was sending photos to all my friends with my nametag , " East says about her Sister Paxton wardrobe . " And I 'm like , ' You guys did n't think I was gon na go on a mission but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It 's a bemusing twist ... as well as access to years of research since so many of her friends , both men and women , have volunteered to represent the church out in the world . But while East came to the faith after her parents converted , Thatcher 's family has deep roots in the religion , which she might have mentioned early in the casting process . " I wanted the role so bad that I was really milking it , " Thatcher laughs . " I was like , ' I grew up Mormon , my great uncle is actually mentioned in the script : Gordon B Hinckley . ' And I told that to the casting director , I told that to them . So I was like , ' you have to cast me ! ' I unashamedly used it . " The opportunity seemed serendipitous to both actors too , who while reading Woods and Beck 's screenplay recognized a level of depth and texture rarely seen in Mormons appearing in pop culture . " If you know , you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , adding , " For my character , I showed that there can be a darker , maybe more skeptical , artistic Mormon . " She even sees her own childhood in the film . While raised in Chicago , a little further afield from family in Utah , Thatcher 's family tree reached far back . " Growing up , it was the only thing I really knew . So it was very natural . And I think there was , similar to Sister Barnes , this feeling of wanting to rebel against everybody because that 's all I 've known . " Ad Ad -- content continues below That hint of rebellion in Barnes is likewise what piques Mr. Reed 's interest . And after 12 years of on/off research , Beck and Woods finally saw him brought to vivid life by a smiling Hugh Grant . " The script had been done , " Beck says while recalling when Grant entered the picture . " And just on a technical level , we knew we needed somebody that is approaching this almost like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ amount of dialogue and speak it with conviction . " They also needed someone who could seem utterly reasonable , even if what they 're saying is by design incendiary . While setting up a checklist of those and other elements , the filmmakers and their A24 studio quickly came back time and again to Grant , an actor who defined disarming charm throughout most of his career , but recently had turned toward what Beck likens to a " character actor " phase filled with fiends and malcontents . " We realized we could have the best of both worlds , " says Beck . " We could have his dark character actor roles combined with that charm that he had the world enraptured with in the 1990s and early 2000s . We could weaponize both in this role at once . " It was weapons-grade charisma , too , that Thatcher and East were working opposite from . Both had grown up watching Grant 's movies , with Thatcher likening her earliest impression of him to that of a distant , European deity . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being like a British king , " Thatcher explains while thinking back on Love Actuallyand Bridget Jones 's Diary . " He felt like royalty to me , and I grew up with my mom really liking him . So I think there was this feeling of otherworldliness to him . " Ad Ad -- content continues below East has similar memories of Grant being a staple in her household , with Sense & Sensibilitybeing one of her mother 's favorite movies . Yet her point of reference was a little more modern and befitting Heretic . For example , around the time she found out Grant was cast , East had just come out of seeing Dungeons & Dragons , which reinforced her image of him . " I have realized my Hugh Grant pull is very polarizing from most people , " East admits , " but , you know , Paddington 2 is one of the best movies ever made , and he 's a villain in it . So I was like ' he 's perfect . ' " Still , watching @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " It was a lot more unsettling seeing Hugh do the scenes than how I imagined it in my head or read it , " East adds . " Hugh is such a charming guy in real life . So if anything , I 'm second-guessing my early conversations with Hugh , because he was so good at being so charming and then made such a turn . " To get to that turn , all three actors rehearsed relentlessly over countless hours with Beck and Woods . " It would have been a shit show if we had done it without the rehearsals , " explains Thatcher , " because we got a general sense of the blocking . And I think that helps with even memorizing your dialogue -- to get fully memorized it 's nice to have a visual of the room ... We were able to get the words in our bodies . " And there are a lot of words , much of it challenging , confrontational , and intended to spark a debate . " There 's so much @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has dictated civilizations over thousands of years , " Beck says , " how it dictates laws in our country ; how it exerts control ; how there are aspects of it that are incredibly beautiful ; how there are cults that lead otherwise very grounded people into very dangerous situations . " Ultimately though , both directors wish to leave their movie open to interpretation , with the intention being to build " a platter " where every belief system , from devout Mormonism to aggressive atheism , is on the menu . What is on trial is becoming fundamentalist about any of the above . " You could argue that the movie is critiquing , or at the very least examining , certainty as dangerous , " Woods says . " The idea that I know what the one true religion is , and you 're wrong . Or conversely , I know that there is no religion and you 're dumb for feeling the way you feel . " Woods says this can apply to almost any field , though , from the danger of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in film appreciation . " I love the movie Joe Dirt with David Spade , " Woods smirks . " But if somebody came up to me and said , ' I know that Joe Dirt is the greatest movie in the history of cinema , ' I would be terrified of that person . " " I think this movie works because it asks a lot of terrifying questions , " Thatcher says of its appeal . Her co-star agrees , but notes how your perceptions of its answers change depending on your own background . " I had two of my mom 's friends from growing up come to the screening , who are very devout Mormons , " East says . " And they knew me when I was in my mom 's stomach , like I 've known them my whole life , and they got out of it and they 're like , ' Can you believe that miracle happened in the story ? ' And they loved the movie and were so passionate about what ended up happening . " Conversely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ came up to East with entirely more cynical and secular readings of the movie 's finale . Ad Ad -- content continues below " Depending on how you were raised or how you watch it , you will have a different outcome , " East surmises . It 's a bit like religion in that way . |

The sentence 'I get a buzz out of helping people.' does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction. The verb 'get' is transitive and selects an NP object 'a buzz', but the sentence does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Additionally, the NP object 'a buzz' does not function as a causee, and the structure does not match the required pattern of NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate.

A Norwich-based training company has launched a new learning and development programme to help energy businesses accelerate their growth . Blue Heron Training was founded in 2023 by Alex Sellers , who has worked in management consultancy and leadership development for a decade following a successful career in hospitality . " My time in hospitality taught me how to lead and manage teams in high-pressure environments , " said Alex . " What I 've found over time is that people have potential -- as managers and leaders , it is our job to help people achieve their goals and , in the process , create high-performing teams that can thrive under pressure .

" This sector is constantly evolving and dynamic , which will mean fast growth , high job creation and innovative thinking . Coupled with an accelerating pace of change , this could put a strain on management teams -- and we are ready to help them succeed . " Following a series of successful management training programmes , Blue Heron has developed its Energy Ignite programme , which offers tailored leadership and management training to businesses in the energy sector and supply chain . The programme is designed to improve workplace culture , productivity and performance by turning technical managers into leaders of people . " We 've created two three-day training packages , one for senior and mid-level management and one for entry level or line managers , " said Alex . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suit the budgets of all businesses . " There are a lot of small businesses out there , which should have access to great development and training without having to spend thousands , " Alex added . Blue Heron takes a holistic , humanistic and practical approach to training , which Alex believes gives it a competitive edge . " We 're not an apprenticeship or qualification organisation ; we 're more tailored and bespoke in terms of what we do . We like to offer practical development that 's much more orientated to what happens on the ground , rather than what 's in a curriculum . " For example , we 're working with a lot of offshore personnel who do n't know what to do when they have a difficult conversation with someone who 's then sleeping in the bunk above them four hours later .

" What we do really well is take the stigma out of training , " said Alex . " You 'll walk into one of our sessions with some preconceived ideas , and you 'll walk out thinking : ' You know what ? That was n't anything like I thought it was going to be ' .

" We 're showing you how to communicate ; and we 're showing you how to use humour to lighten the load if you need to do that . " Alex has already amassed a team of trainers from various backgrounds , albeit with a shared experience of senior leadership . " We offer a holistic service that extends beyond the programmes into long-term consultancy , " said Alex . " To do that , we need people who have been there , done it and lived it , but who do n't have an ego . " It 's about sharing that knowledge they possess internally , which allows them to see things with greater clarity .

Supercar crashes are infamous . New owners drive straight out of the dealership and into a wall . Drivers are branded ' idiots ' . Accidents are dubbed ' the most expensive of all time ' . As a result , South Australia has recently introduced ' supercar licences ' . We live in a world where money can buy you massive horsepower . It 's not that supercar crashes are more frequent , it 's that they 're sensationalised when they do happen - often because someone notable is behind the wheel . But behind the hyped-up headlines , sport car manufacturers have world-class racing drivers and specialist training centres at their disposal to help high rollers handle horsepower safely and get the most out of their purchase . To find out what really happens when you buy a performance car and hit the track , Freda Lewis-Stempel spent the day at the Lotus Driving Academy behind the wheel of the Emira V6 for an exclusive induction into the world of driving experience days .

The jewel in the crown of Lotus ' Norfolk HQ is the 2.2-mile racetrack used over the years not only to test new Lotus cars but by the great names of F1 ; the likes of Clark , Fittipaldi and Senna lapped Hethel in order to fine-tune their F1 cars . Technically challenging , the track -- bought by husband-and-wife team Colin and Hazel Chapman in 1966 - is a combination of bends , hairpins , corners and straights that force driver and car to find the limit as one .

Supercar crashes are infamous . New owners drive straight out of the dealership and into a wall . Drivers are branded ' idiots ' . Accidents are dubbed ' the most expensive of all time ' . As a result , South Australia has recently introduced ' supercar licences ' . We live in a world where money can buy you massive horsepower . It 's not that supercar crashes are more frequent , it 's that they 're sensationalised when they do happen - often because someone notable is behind the wheel . But behind the hyped-up headlines , sport car manufacturers have world-class racing drivers and specialist training centres at their disposal to help high rollers handle horsepower safely and get the most out of their purchase . To find out what really happens when you buy a performance car and hit the track , Freda Lewis-Stempel spent the day at the Lotus Driving Academy behind the wheel of the Emira V6 for an exclusive induction into the world of driving experience days . Freda Lewis-Stempel spent the day at the Lotus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into the world of driving experience days and to see the lengths high performance car manufacturers go to keep both owners and other road users safe For anyone who loves cars , Hethel needs little introduction . For those who do n't , it 's the home of British sports car manufacturer Lotus -- an icon of racing heritage . The jewel in the crown of Lotus ' Norfolk HQ is the 2.2-mile racetrack used over the years not only to test new Lotus cars but by the great names of F1 ; the likes of Clark , Fittipaldi and Senna lapped Hethel in order to fine-tune their F1 cars . Technically challenging , the track -- bought by husband-and-wife team Colin and Hazel Chapman in 1966 - is a combination of bends , hairpins , corners and straights that force driver and car to find the limit as one . In the middle is the skid pan -- a wet circle for learning the art of controlling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lose control in order to gain it ' , my LDA racing instructor Dave told me before we started the day with a skills based session . The instructors at the LDA are world class and you have the same instructor all day , so you build confidence through continuity The jewel in the crown of Lotus ' Norfolk HQ is the 2.2-mile racetrack used over the years not only to test new Lotus cars but by the great names of F1 ; the likes of Clark , Fittipaldi and Ayrton Senna lapped Hethel in order to fine-tune their F1 cars The track is run by the Lotus Driving Academy , which is , as Lotus F1 driver Martin Donnelly put it , ' an amazing performance machine that really helps you learn how to get the most out of driving a modern sports car , both on the road and on the track ' . The LDA has three training packages available for new Lotus owners or the general public . My day at the LDA was dedicated to the ' Advanced Package ' -- @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ afternoon sessions out on track , which costs ? 960 . And my wheels ? The ? 90,000 Emira V6 which has 400bhp , a top speed of 180mph and can do 0 to 62mph in 4.2 seconds . ' We 've seen it all , Dave confirms . ' 30 seconds after meeting someone we know what kind of driver they are ; visual , tactile , verbal . ' Case in point would be the second skills test -- the ' brake and avoid ' . Being a late braker by nature ( much to the dismay of my family ) I was in my element during the ' brake and avoid ' skills test , and Dave quickly realized that my ability to avoid the ' bus ' was good enough to build the speed up ; ' Take it up to 70mph , go for it ' Hurtling towards a ' bus ' at 60mph you had to resist the urge to brake ahead of time , trusting the Emira 's 100ft braking distance The Lotus team told me that a couple met during a LDA session , hit it off and went on to get married . The idea is to avoid the school bus which pulls out unexpectedly , Dave explained . The ' bus ' in this case was a line of cones . Hurtling towards it at 60mph you had to resist the urge to brake ahead of time , trusting the Emira 's 100ft braking distance . Being a late braker by nature ( much to the dismay of my family ) I was in my element on this skills test , and Dave quickly realized that my ability to avoid the ' bus ' was good enough to build the speed up . ' Take it up to 70mph , go for it ' . As you clock the extra mph your trust in the Emira 's grip , your judgement , and your nerve ( not to mention God and gravity , ) is cemented . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pan ; conquering oversteer and understeer or the art of ' learning to lose control ' .

Oversteer , where the rear tyres lose grip , and understeer where the front tyres lose grip , are both common scenarios from F1 races to track days , or corners taken in low grip conditions .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee and does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'make such a farce out of booking' which does not align with the defined properties of the construction.

Tesco customers have vented their frustration on social media after facing a battle for Christmas delivery slots , despite warnings from the retailer to sign up for delivery saver or click-and-collect plans in advanvce . Customers with early access found themselves in a virtual queue as early as 6am , only to encounter a flawed system that left many empty-handed and angry . One disgruntled user stated on Twitter : " How do @Tesco make such a farce out of booking a Xmas delivery slot ? Been queuing since 6am . At 6:02 I logged on to Asda and had 23rd Dec slot checked out in a matter of minutes . " Another shopper expressed their exasperation , tweeting : " @Tesco Signed in just before 6am , in waiting room for 1 hour and 20 mins , get to your turn to shop , and nothing ! Has now put me right back to the beginning of the queue . Whats the point in paying monthly Anytime Slots and no priority Xmas booking ? " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ customer shared : " Tesco I 've had a delivery saver for over 13 years . For the past two years , I 've been unable to get a Christmas delivery slot . It 's like getting Beyonce tickets . " A further customer chimed in : " @Tesco Guess being unable to book a Christmas slot is common at the moment . " , reports the Mirror . Further complaints were about being ejected from the queue after failed payment attempts . A Tesco shopper recounted their ordeal : " I had a slot for Christmas delivery . I made four attempts at payment . But I was booted from my slot and am now at the back of the queue . Ridiculous ! " . Tesco has been swamped with early morning Christmas shoppers looking for delivery slots , with one frustrated customer tweeting : " @Tesco , I 've just waited over an hour to get into priority booking for Christmas delivery slots , but when it was finally my turn , there 's no Christmas booking options available to me . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Mirror they had not encountered any technical issues regarding the Christmas bookings this year . No specific figures were released about how many people were queuing since 6am for their delivery slots . For the lucky ones signed up to Tesco 's delivery schemes , an early peek at the Christmas delivery slots was given . However , for other customers , there will be a chance to book from next Tuesday , November 12 - kicking off at 6am . After last year 's website meltdown , which saw over 300,000 desperate shoppers in a virtual line , Tesco has this time around promised plenty more delivery slots and beefed-up service to handle the festive frenzy . This includes " thousands " of additional slots in the lead-up to the holiday and a fleet bolstered by over 60 new vans .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'taking the guesswork out of cooking meats', where 'cooking meats' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate.

Kemi Badenoch , the newly-crowned leader of the Conservatives , has a difficult job on her hands . After 14 years in power and a humiliating election defeat over the summer , her party is an unfocussed mess . The battle for the heart of the Conservative Party will probably rumble on for a while . Its depleted membership is less a broad church of people on the same team , and more a bunch of rats that failed to fight their way out of a sack . There is one issue , however , that unites most Conservative members these days : the need to take on Nigel Farage and Reform UK . Why Farage is of such concern to Conservatives is obvious . His embrace of populism and dogged single-issue campaigning has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Without Farage fanning the flames on Europe , the Tories need n't have poured petrol on themselves in 2016 . His superpower is to provide simple answers to complex problems that are of particular concern to Conservative voters . Do n't like the EU ? Leave ! Immigration too high ? Shut the borders ! This unsubtle chiselling away at the base of Tory support has threatened to collapse the party multiple times . It has forced Conservatives to make repeated lame attempts to clear bars that Farage sets impossibly high . Badenoch has already said that leaving the European Convention on Human Rights is an impractical nonsense , and rightly so . Whether or not she can resist chasing Farage down his various rabbit holes in the coming months matters not just to Conservatives hopeful of a return to sanity , but for all of us who 'd like to see the toxicity sucked out of politics . State of the right The state of Britain 's right has changed since Farage first entered many of our consciousness , ahead of the 2010 general @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the clear dividing line between David Cameron 's Conservative Party and Nigel Farage 's Ukip . It was possible to draw a line between Ukip and the British National Party . And there was still some distinction between the BNP , the English Defence League and other extremist groups . Nearly 15 years later , those lines have been blurred to the point of near-invisibility . In some cases , they have been deliberately smudged by mainstream politicians who borrow the language of the far-right when it suits them . The result is a public that is now more exposed than ever to previously distasteful fringe figures and ideas . This , along with the right 's media prevalence , has allowed ideas , language and even personalities previously separated by political identity to mix freely . Now , ideas and people previously considered distasteful are thoroughly mainstream . " In 2010 , people like Nick Griffin , Tommy Robinson and to a lesser extent Nigel Farage were fringe figures who belonged to distinct political tribes , " says Paul Jackson , professor in the history of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Voting for them or attending their rallies meant you were part of that tribe , which may have turned people who thought of themselves as moderate conservatives off . " Now , the merging of right-wing factions has made it common to see people who would n't think of themselves as radical taking part in political activism that originated on the far-right . " The anti-lockdown marches are a prime example of this , " says Julia Ebner , leader of the Violent Extremism Lab at the University of Oxford . " Within the anti-lockdown movement were people within the mainstream who had concerns about lockdowns . But there were also people who believed conspiracy theories about Covid and vaccines that originated in fringe far-right media . " Uniting the right The idea of uniting the right is nothing new , but its success has been varied and gradual . In truth , the rubbing out of dividing lines between different factions and the mainstreaming of its own ideas has probably been the far-right 's greatest achievement . One need n't look far for examples @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in order to speak to voters farther along the spectrum . The previous Tory government was not above borrowing the presentational style of the far-right when wooing voters . In May , the Home Office released a dramatic video of asylum seekers being rounded up by law enforcement , placed in handcuffs and chucked in the backs of vans , shortly after the controversial Safety of Rwanda Act had passed into law . You can support the policy or think it barbaric , but it 's pretty obvious that the Tories had a specific audience in mind when producing this clip . Sure , it might appeal to some considering voting Reform . But it also runs the risk of walking the Tories head-first into a classic Farage trap . Shortly after the act entered law , the Reform leader slammed Rishi Sunak 's Rwanda policy as useless and set the government a new challenge , saying the only way to stop mass migration was by leaving the ECHR -- now a mainstream Conservative policy . This is where the " post-organisational " nature of the right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ willing to go with your rhetoric , there will always be people demanding you go further . Even Farage and co are starting to realise this . If you ever take a glance at comments underneath articles written by Farage , or look at replies to his tweets , there are often examples of his own supporters asking : why are you not speaking out in support of Tommy Robinson ? Some choice examples , edited for decency : " Nigel I have to say you 've gone down in my estimations recently . You 'd do well to reconsider what you 've said/your views on Tommy Robinson and his supporters . I want to vote for you again next time round ( sic ) .. but ! ! " " Nigel , you continue to vilify the bravest man in Britain , Tommy Robinson ... You 're just as bad as the crooks who put him in Belmarsh " We could go on , but these are just three examples from many more taken during one 24-hour period . Reform has tried desperately @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Reform 's deputy leader and Farage 's latest pint holder , recently sought to distinguish their party from Robinson 's fans , calling them with some derision : " that lot . " Take a quick look through the responses from some of " that lot " to Tice on Twitter , and it 's clear many Reform voters are also supporters of Robinson . Some believe Farage and Tice used Robinson to win voters before hanging him out to dry . Some believe the Reform men are posh wimps , scared that any association with Robinson will disbar them from the mainstream and Westminster 's nicer restaurants . Some believe they are playing a complicated game of 3D chess , working alongside Robinson . The Blob It 's impossible to know for sure what goes on in the heads of Farage and Tice . But what 's clear is that even when politicians try to redraw the old lines between these differing factions , the public still sees them as part of the same amorphous blob , appealing to the public via the same @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ right are ultimately ones of emotion , " says Jackson . " At their most effective , they offer optimistic solutions to anxieties brought on by the perceived failure of the political elite -- about immigration , crime or national identity . That can be very powerful . " Powerful , indeed . The violent reactions to what happened in Southport were just the most recent reminder of what can happen when all manner of emotive issues are stirred together and poured down the slippery right-wing slope . Supposed moderate Conservatives made statements , despite having no idea what had happened -- in some cases referencing information they 'd seen tweeted from dubious sources like Andrew Tate . The mess of misinformation was flung over the walls of far-right social media and , before you knew it , hotels housing asylum seekers were under attack . It was a near-perfect case study in how bad or dumb actors can escalate a tragedy -- and it could easily be repeated . If this all sounds alarmist , it 's worth taking a look at how " post-organisational " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moderates now support the same candidate as armed militias . Or across Europe , where parties founded by former fascists and Nazis are forming governments . So far we have managed to avoid that level of disaster in Britain , in part because our political system shuts the fringes out of power . But even that 's not much of a safeguard : with no prospect of gaining real power and no consequences for their actions , populist rabble-rousers are free to carry on raising the stakes . Badenoch faces a choice as opposition leader , with the best part of five years in front of her . She can try to match Farage and the others to her right . Or she can break the cycle and stop playing their game on their terms . If she chooses the former , history suggests she will fail and British politics will continue on its current toxic doom loop . If she chooses the latter , she might find that depriving extremists of their oxygen gives them less room to breathe and pollute our democratic system . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blocker that may prevent our website from working properly .

Everyone loves a good action movie , even if some wo n't admit it . Film school snobs may pretend to turn up their noses , but no matter how cultured you 'd like to think you are , there 's a part of your lizard brain that loves explosions and shootouts and badass one-liners -- and it needs to be satisfied . But action flicks need n't be dumb , loud or graphic to succeed . Some find beauty in orchestrated violence . Others might crane-kick you right in the heart . Some even have -- gasp ! -- character development . And so , to help put together this definitive list of the greatest action movies ever made , we reached out to some of the people who understand the action genre better than anyone , from Die Hard director John McTiernan to Machete himself , Danny Trejo . Pull the pin , light the fuse and batten down the hatches -- these are the most pulse-pounding , edge-of-your-seat thrill rides ever put to film . Bruce cannonSo here it is . The No. 1 spot , the top of the skyscraper . The perfect action movie . But does Die Hard really fit the bill ? It does n't have anything to say about the state of the world . It does n't offer much insight into the human condition ( though the image of Bruce Willis walking on broken glass could be taken as a poignant metaphor for life 's little brutalities ) . It is n't exactly what pseuds would call High Art . All of which is precisely the point . If cinema is the perfect escapist medium -- and until someone invents a virtual-reality device that works , it will be -- then action movies are its purest expression , the best way we know of for humanity to shake itself loose from the trappings of humdrum reality and take to the ether . We do n't want to see ourselves reflected , we do n't want understanding or honesty or intellectual insight . We want speed and intensity , wit and wisecracks , cartoon violence and things going boom . We want Die Hard . The story is so ingenious , it 's incredible no one had thought of it before : A group of terrorists invades a state-of-the-art skyscraper and takes the inhabitants hostage . Their only hope is a man locked in with them , yet free to roam , a lone hero who must pick off the bad guys one by one , arcade-game -- style , until he reaches the Big Boss . Admittedly , there are precedents -- Assault on Precinct 13 must have been an on-set favorite -- but no one had told this tale with such streamlined precision before . It 's little accident that , in the wake of the film 's success , clones sprouted up like toadstools almost overnight , from Die Hard on a boat ( Under Siege ) to Die Hard on a bus ( Speed ) and this year 's Die Hard on a musical instrument ( Grand Piano ) . That said , even the highest of concepts will only work if all the elements are right , and Die Hard is a textbook case of everything falling into place . John McTiernan 's direction pulls no punches , and there are sequences here -- like the oft-imitated , never-bettered **39;4166;TOOLONG moment -- that achieve something close to visual poetry . The script is crammed with humor and invention , and whoever came up with the idea of setting it at Christmas deserves a big medal . But of course , the blue-ribbon winner in all this has to be Bruce Willis , who crashed from nowhere ( well , from TV 's Moonlighting ) onto the world 's stage , thanks to a combination of antiheroic self-mockery , battered but unbowed machismo and one very grubby T-shirt . Yippie-ki-ay , indeed . The killer scene:Ripley straps into a Power Loader suit to destroy the alien queen . Moms and ammoWhen James Cameron stepped into Ridley Scott 's space-horror boots to direct the sequel to the brilliant Alien , he did n't try to ape the sickening , paranoid , slow creep of the original . He just said " Screw that subtlety shit " and went big on explosions , big on aliens , and let the guns ( and mech-robots ) do the talking . Where before there was endless deep-space dread and grimness , now there was fully fledged big-screen action . Cameron was a relative newbie at the time , having previously only directed The Terminator , but he took to big-budget work with gusto . Sigourney Weaver is pitted yet again against a vicious many-toothed foe , this time in an abandoned space colony , but now she 's surrounded by weapon-heavy Marines , hell-bent on kicking ass and taking no names . As in Alien , the plot centers around a male-dominated corporation 's obsession with developing bioweaponry , no matter what the human price may be . Yeah , it 's kind of a metaphor for the evils of big business , and sure , it 's an empowering fable about the strength of the female voice in a male world , but we all know what you 're here for : to watch Ripley stomp around in a huge mechanical suit and destroy some shockingly phallic alien bastards . And that 's awesome . The killer scene : The villagers ' rain-lashed last stand against the rampaging bandits -- the very definition of iconic Playing the long gameIf you 've never seen a Kurosawa film and wonder why he 's held in such high regard , this all-time classic is all the evidence you need -- not least because it inspired Hollywood 's much-loved , if slightly simplistic , remake , The Magnificent Seven . Running over 200 minutes , it 's also a textbook example of making action mean more , because we 're totally engrossed in the lives of the characters . We truly feel the fear and abject hunger of vulnerable farmers , so desperate to protect their new crop that they 're paying hired samurai with their last grains of rice . You also feel the desperation of the masterless ronin prepared to take the job , since at least it means bed and board for a while . Kurosawa takes an hour to show us what 's at stake , and another hour showing how wise leader Takashi Shimura , volatile wanna-be samurai Toshiro Mifune and their cohorts plan to fend off their marauding foes . When the action does erupt , however , the ebb and flow of strategy is that much more absorbing , the casualties hitting hard , the payoff intense . Filmmaking of this breadth and depth takes courage , wisdom and the formal skills to put your ambitions on the screen . Utterly groundbreaking in its day , the kinetic energy with which Kurosawa 's mobile camera puts us in the midst of some hairy stunts and near-feral skirmishes has barely dated . Every action movie since owes him a debt for the hugely influential manner in which he distills space and movement into the enclosure of great cinema . The killer scene : One of the bunch sees his foxy former lover laughing in the arms of a fat-cat general -- jealousy gets the better of him , and it 's a bloodbath . Going out with a bangIt 's become customary to talk about Sam Peckinpah 's classic as the tombstone of the Western genre , the moment when Hollywood 's already-tired tradition of white-hat heroics was plunged irrevocably into nihilism , apocalypse and zero-sum catharsis . Then again , no other Western has proven as durably modern , or able to speak to a younger generation like this one . ( Not for nothing , The Wild Bunch was comfortably the highest-ranked oater on our list . ) It might be time for a rethink : The Wild Bunch is still very much with us , in every movie that gushes slo-mo rivers of blood in the name of brotherly principle , in every action film that lunges for timely political complexity amid the spent ammo casings and slung epitaphs . The Vietnam War was raging when the movie was being made , and Peckinpah seized on those allegorical resonances , hoping to confront viewers with footage similar to what they were seeing on the nightly news . Call it a mark of his virtuosity ( or na ? vet ? ) that the movie was met with a polarized response , some hailing it as a masterpiece , other pointing to it as a sign of a bankrupt art form . The Wild Bunch is breathtaking in its uncompromised grubbiness , the almighty dollar leading good men to their doom , and lesser men to a mercenary bounty . It echoes some of the director 's own struggles in Hollywood , but mainly stands as a testament to integrity : Go dark , go deep , and true action fans will follow you to the ruinous end . -- Joshua Rothkopf Good cop , mad copYou have to go back to the silent-comedy era of Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton to find the equivalent of Jackie Chan in his Hong Kong prime -- a star who 'd put life and limb at risk to get the shot he wanted . These days the phrase he does his own stunts implies relatively risk-free challenges , but Chan 's ' 80s peak delivers a whole other level of insanity . Yes , that really is his gung-ho cop dangling by an umbrella off a moving double-decker bus in Police Story 's opening salvo , one slip away from a bone-breaking fall . ( Moments later , the stuntmen tumbling from the top deck to the tarmac all ended up in hospital , lengthening a serious injury list that saw the star form a stunt-team association to pay their medical bills . ) By the time mainstream audiences encountered Chan in 1998 's Rush Hour , age and common sense had caught up with him , and he never quite matched the exuberant blend of comic knockabout thrills and heart-stopping spills from this landmark cop flick , where his character 's pledge to protect state witness Brigitte Lin endangers both of them . The star 's expertise in fight choreography also made him an assured action director , committed to registering the hurt and commitment the performers put in . If he shows his own climactic shopping-mall leap from three different angles , it 's not egotism -- only making sure we believe he 'd do something that batshit crazy . The after effects of electrocution , burned hands and damaged vertebrae have long dissipated ( Jackie says ) , but the flying three-story fall has since become celluloid legend . -- Trevor Johnston Bruce Lee goes to grindhouse heavenBruce Lee 's fame is based on a mere four movies he made as an adult , and Enter the Dragon was the lightning strike that transformed him into an international box-office icon , one month after his death . A legendary movie , it really should n't be : the production was a mess , director Robert Clouse was a hack , and the screenplay , by and large , sucked . But the performances turn a crap sandwich into fried gold . The project 's Hollywood pedigree allowed Lee to ditch all pretense of charming his hometown Hong Kong audience and play a savage superman who 's all oiled muscles and savage grace , coming alive only when he 's in motion . Full of underground dungeons and goofy gadgets , it 's one of those rare cases when what should have been a B-list James Bond knock-off with an Asian cast wound up becoming one of the greatest action movies of all time . -- Grady Hendrix The killer scene : Racing into battle , an army 's pet guitar player unleashes a raging soundtrack . His ax shoots flames , shaming the memory of Kiss . On the Road againThe fourth installment of George Miller 's rambunctious post-apocalyptic saga arrives like a tornado tearing through a tea party . In an age of weightless spectacles that studios whittle down from visions to products , here 's a movie that feels like it was made by kidnapping $150 million of Warner Bros. ' money , absconding with it to the Namibian desert , and sending footage back to Hollywood like the amputated body parts of a ransomed hostage . Marrying the mordant frenzy of Terry Gilliam 's cinematic universe with the explosive grandeur of James Cameron , Miller cooks up some of the most exhilaratingly sustained action ever captured on camera . The digital effects , sparingly used , take a backseat to the film 's non-stop parade of " people actually did that ! ? " stunt work . With Charlize Theron 's Furiosa behind the wheel , though , Fury Road steers this testosterone-soaked franchise in a brilliant new direction , forging a mythical portrait about the urgent need for female rule in a world where men need to be saved from themselves . Best quote : " You 're full of shit , you know that ? There 's a toilet over there . " The killer scene : A cop spits a toothpick faster than he shoots a bullet . Not over easyIt 's just another day for Hong Kong policeman " Tequila " Yuen ( Chow Yun Fat ) and his partner , until the sting they 're overseeing at a teahouse goes very wrong . One of the lawmen lies dead . Tequila , meanwhile , blazes his way through the bad guys , putting a bloody end to one gangster with a gunshot to the face . That 's just the opening scene of John Woo 's vigorous rogue-cop thriller -- one of his best bullet-riddled ballets . Eventually , an undercover agent , Alan ( Tony Leung ) , emerges to give Tequila a run for his money , though in true Woo fashion , both men find they have similar stoic-macho codes and an identical goal : bring down the criminal syndicate led by ruthless mobster Johnny Wong ( Anthony Wong ) . Tequila 's love for jazz -- he frequents a blues bar run , in a delightful bit of casting , by Woo himself -- epitomizes this go-for-broke adventure , which moves between modes ( moodily mournful one moment , fiercely kinetic the next ) with the sublime confidence of a virtuoso playing at peak form . There 's a valedictory quality to the movie that seems especially poignant in retrospect , since this was the last film Woo made before he spent a decade-plus churning out Hollywood product of varying quality ( see our No. 19 ) . What a way to go out , though , especially in the astonishing climax in which Tequila and Alan infiltrate Johnny Wong 's arsenal ... which just happens to be housed in a hospital filled to brimming with sick patients and newborn infants . By that point , even Hard Boiled seems too soft a title . -- Keith Uhlich The killer scene : Sarah Connor 's apocalyptic nightmare vision of L.A. , as the city is blasted to ashes by a nuclear firestorm A boy 's best friend is his cyborgIt 's interesting to note that , on our recent 100 Best Sci-fi Movies poll , James Cameron 's original Terminator placed in the top ten , with its sequel trailing behind at No. 16 . Here , those positions are all but switched , but perhaps that 's as it should be . The Terminator is a perfect science-fiction movie , packed with ideas and invention , but thanks in large part to its tight budget , the action can feel a little constrained . The sequel suffered no such setbacks . By this point the most in-demand director in Hollywood , James Cameron was given a blank check to realize his most extreme destructive visions , and the result is a film that rockets from one incendiary set piece to the next , barely pausing for breath as burned-out trucks , exploding cop cars and crashed helicopters pile in its wake . It 's also -- with the arguable addition of Jurassic Park -- the film that proved once and for all what computer-generated special effects were capable of . Admittedly , many of the most impressive effects were in-camera : The aforementioned helicopter crash is a triumph of practical ingenuity . But from the first appearance of the murderous , mercurial T-1000 , a steely shape-shifter played to perfection by the blank-faced Robert Patrick , it was clear that something entirely new had been brought into the world . It 's possible to pick holes in the film -- it 's sentimental in a way its predecessor was n't , and the employment of Arnie 's original Terminator as a comic sidekick can become grating -- but as an action movie , this one 's hard to beat . And yet ... -- Tom Huddleston Rolling with the punchesAre these not the most euphoric opening 12 minutes of any movie , forget the action ones ? Steven Spielberg and conceptual guru George Lucas always tip their fedoras to the ' 30s cliffhanger serials ( movies that they were probably too young for , realistically ) . Rather , consider Raiders as a statement of ceaseless forward momentum , made by two impatient movie brats rewriting the rules of Hollywood . First , we see the dark Peruvian jungle , then the bullwhip , the golden idol , the boulder ( the boulder , people ) , the blowgun-armed natives , the vine leap to the plane and finally , the supreme wink of a gag line , delivered by the pilot : " Come on , show a little backbone , will ya ? " All in 12 minutes . Action movies had never before been this supercharged , nor would they be , by virtually anyone else . It 's a perfect entertainment machine , effortlessly involving to teenage boys ( fine , guilty as charged ) or anyone looking for a pure hit of hotsy-totsy-Nazi escapism . When the dust settles on Spielberg 's career , many fans will point to his childlike sense of wonderment , supported by John Williams 's stirring orchestral scores and infused in the plots themselves . Raiders of the Lost Ark , meanwhile , just throws you in , with little time to think . ( We 're hot on the trail of ... the power of the Hebrew God ? ) It might be more of a masterpiece than any of Spielberg 's other triumphs , simply for unearthing the treasure of the chase , running down the magic for a perfect two hours and then , suggestively , hiding it in a dusty warehouse as if to say : Now it 's your turn . Go find it . -- Joshua Rothkopf Best quote : " Greetings from Lord Humungus , the Warrior of the Wasteland ! " The killer scene : The first appearance of psychotic mutant Humungus and his band of gibbering drones -- both hilarious and disturbing Life 's a gasIt 's no accident that the car chase has become one of the foundation stones of popular cinema . Here is everything you could ever require from an action scene distilled into one easy package : speed , intensity , noise , competitiveness , swearing , gunfire , shiny surfaces and things blowing up . And no filmmaker has ever shot a pulse-pounding pedal-to-the-metal pursuit better than Australian legend George Miller , doing everything short of shoving the audience 's face into the fan belt to ensure that we can feel every bump in the road , every grind of the gears , every fender-bending slam . The Road Warrior is without doubt Miller 's finest hour as a director , laying down the narrative ground rules in the first 20 minutes or so : Surly postapocalyptic drifter Max ( Gibson ) agrees to help a group of mullet-haired survivalists drag a truck filled with oil out of the Aussie desert , while a bunch of leather-clad loonies try to stop him . And when Miller pulls out the stops , no director on earth can match him : The closing chase , pitting Max 's V8 Special and accompanying Mack tanker against an army of souped-up dune buggies and rusted-out roadsters , is a symphony of destruction , an epic of excess , and arguably the finest automotive action sequence ever shot . Though released in two " volumes , " Quentin Tarantino 's extraordinary martial-arts magnum opus is best viewed as one four-hour whole . The action-packed first part achronologically details the roaring rampage of revenge undertaken by the Bride ( Uma Thurman ) , a trained assassin out to slay the former associates who left her and her unborn child for dead . It culminates in the celebrated House of Blue Leaves sequence , in which our sword-wielding heroine takes down a gaggle of masked antagonists and shaves off more than the hair on the head of Lucy Liu 's yakuza villainess . The second volume becomes more contemplative ( ass-kicking mobile-home standoff with one-eyed Daryl Hannah notwithstanding ) as the Bride closes in on the gang 's leader : her former inamorato Bill ( David Carradine , relishing QT 's pop-infused soliloquies ) . As always with Tarantino , it 's the words that provide the real action , cutting deeper than any blade could . -- Keith Uhlich The killer scene : Nicolas Cage , who 's actually John Travolta , gets thrown into a supermax prison , and stages a riot to break himself out . Personality crisisHow 's this for a mainstream movie premise ? A cop redefines ' deep undercover ' by surgically grafting the face of a criminal mastermind onto his own head -- a gambit that backfires when said criminal steals his face and crawls in bed with his wife . It sounds preposterous , if not downright insane . Also , the two principals are played by Nicolas Cage and John Travolta . Twenty-five years later , though , you wish contemporary Hollywood would have the guts to try something so bonkers . But Face/Off could 've easily been nothing more than an ironically entertaining fever dream if anyone other than John Woo were in the director 's chair . With his third and most successful American movie , the Hong Kong action genius finally got a script he could fully sink his teeth into . He blitzes the screen with slow-mo shootouts , eye-popping setpieces and some rad boat chases , allowing the freeform insanity of Cage and Travolta mimicking each other 's mannerisms to achieve an operatic level of intensity . -- Matthew Singer The killer scene : The police station raid , which goes from ominous to thunderous in the space of three little words . ( You know them . ) Robots to richesFor a while , The Terminatorwas the highest-grossing film of all time in terms of cost-to-profit ratio ( it 's since been trounced byThe Blair Witch Project ) . It certainly was n't shot for peanuts -- $6.4 million was a fair bit of change back in 1984 -- but James Cameron did manage to squeeze a heck of a lot of bang out of every measly buck . So while it lacks the slick , CG-assisted style and grand scope of its successor ( which places on this list at a truly impressive slot yet to come ) , The Terminatordoes arguably have the edge in grit , weight and intensity . Add the fact that it was the work of a filmmaker with only one film under his belt ( 1981 's disastrousPiranha Part Two : The Spawning ) , it all adds up to something truly impressive : an against-the-odds smash hit that launched the careers of two men who would , over the next decade , completely rewrite the action rule book . -- Tom Huddleston Old-school ThaiBy the new millennium , filmmakers ' ability to digitally remove support wires changed the onscreen parameters of martial-arts choreography , arguably for the worse . But if Hong Kong and Hollywood had slightly lost the plot , they still did things the old way in Thailand . Enter Phanom Yeerum -- a.k.a . Tony Jaa in English -- speaking territories -- who combined the feline agility of Jackie Chan and punishing close-quarter skills of Jet Li , with his own brand of Muay Thai -- influenced destruction . There 's no wire work or CGI in sight as he demolishes the bad people who nicked his village 's Buddha statue , and if he lacks a certain acting presence , his free-flowing parkour-style slinkiness ( let 's jump through a ring of razor wire ! ) more than compensates . The trademark move , however , is the flying elbow to the top of the skull , just one of the many Muay Thai maneuvers with their own special nomenclature . Liked Tony 's " wildcat fight " ? Wait till you see his " monkey crossing world " ! -- Trevor Johnston The killer scene : The final showdown between Arnie and his dreadlocked nemesis is awesome , but shout out to Sgt Billy defiantly slicing his own pec with a machete shortly before meeting his inevitable end . Rumble in the jungleThe ' 80s were full of movies involving humans battling malevolent alien lifeforms in isolated locales , and usually , they had a hook that went deeper than the action -- think the intense paranoia of The Thing , or Alien 's feminist underpinnings . With John McTiernan 's ' roided blow-em ' -up , though , what you see is what you get , and what you get is an ultraviolent game of cat-and-mouse in the jungles of Central America between an intergalactic sport hunter and the most jacked rodent in existence . Sure , if you squint , maybe it 's a critique of US foreign policy , and there 's probably something to the fact that this ultra-macho cast is pursued by a monster with the face of , well , a certain female attribute . ( The above quote is also a clue . ) But ultimately , Predator works because it 's so uncomplicated , a scenario that suits the specific talents of its star , who only needs to scowl , shoot and shout , ' Get to da choppah ! ' Best quote : " This is Jason Bourne , the toughest target that you have ever tracked . He is really good at staying alive , and trying to kill him and failing just pisses him off . " The killer scene : Grappling their way through a living room and bathroom , Bourne and a resourceful foe become intimate with smashed furniture and tile work . Coming home for vengeanceThe most recent film in our top 20 is a lasting phenomenon and , more critically , an influence on other contemporary movies . When even the Bond franchise begins feeling a little Bourne-ish , you know the tail is wagging the dog . It helps when you have an actor like Matt Damon , turning Robert Ludlum 's stoic literary creation into his signature role , equal parts ferocity and bruised betrayal ( and , yes , superhuman reserve ) . The screenplay proved extra daring in its post-9/11 moment : Bourne returns home to a somber NYC to confront his masters , who perpetuate a state of fear in a decade that needed no more of it . Bourne is an amnesiac beginning to remember his past ; Ultimatum , too , reminds us of a panache that 's largely been forgoken . A metal-crunching Manhattan car chase and a phenomenal assassination at London 's Waterloo station are staged by director Paul Greengrass ( United 93 ) with jazzy fluidity . -- Joshua Rothkopf Jet Li saves humanity from itself.It 's the last days of the Qing dynasty and China is falling apart . The xenophobic White Lotus Cult has declared holy war on foreigners , while the Qing empress is trying to round up and execute Dr. Sun Yat-sen 's revolutionaries . Caught between them is Wong Fei-hung ( Jet Li ) , avatar of Confucian virtue and master of martial arts . An actual Chinese folk hero , Wong Fei-hung featured in over 70 films between 1949 and 1970 , but received a new lease on life when director Tsui Hark revived him with 1991'sOnce Upon a Time in China . But it'sPart IIthat the fans love , and it 's easy to see why . A nightmarish phantasmagoria of Chinese-on-Chinese violence , only Wong Fei-hung and his strict moral code ( and awesome kung fu ) stands against the tidal wave of blood unleashed by religious extremists and government thugs alike . Frankly , we could use some of that today . -- Grady Hendrix The killer scene : Sly 's put-upon Vietnam vet proves a point by setting an entire town alight Keep the home fires burning The film that provided Stallone with a post-Rocky career has often seemed an undervalued affair , overshadowed by the cartoonish excesses of its more commercially successful Rambo sequels . But while the bandana-wearing , M60-toting protagonist eventually became an emblem of Reaganite hawkishness , his origin story is shaped by an almost diametrically opposed sensibility : firmly on the side of embittered soldiers isolated by society after the trauma of combat , and critical of America 's weekend-warrior culture for its unforgivably glib attitude toward firearms . From an early flashback in which Sly 's harassed drifter conflates abusive Oregon cops with the Vietcong who once tortured him , it treats the escalating hostilities with convincing gravitas , while stringing together tautly conceived confrontations in and around the mist-shrouded mountain landscape . For all the blade work , gunfire and explosions , though , it 's Sly 's final emotional meltdown that 's most potent of all , a nakedly vulnerable outpouring where John Rambo 's terrifying , pitiable contradictions are laid bare . -- Trevor Johnston For his second English-language feature , Dutch bad boy Paul Verhoeven took us to a time in the not-too-distant future when Detroit is a crime-ridden , economically depressed metropolis ( who'da thought ? ) in desperate need of a hero . Enter rookie flatfoot Alex Murphy ( Peter Weller ) , who is literally shot to pieces on his first day and resurrected by the corporate conglomerate OCP as a steely metallic cyborg who serves the public trust , protects the innocent and upholds the law . ( Also : shoots would-be rapists in the gonads . ) But something human is still stirring inside . The film is both a biting satire of consumer culture -- love those interstitial faux commercials -- and an emotional character study ( Murphy 's flashes of his former home life are tinged with sorrow ) . But Verhoeven does n't skimp on the memorable action , with gunfights aplenty , a death by toxic waste that will have you gleefully cringing , and an awesome antagonist in the trigger . The killer scene : Stop ! Bullet time ! The Wachowskis and their tech wizards invent a whole new way of shooting action . Dude , where 's my reality ? Combining kick-ass action and chin-stroking philosophy was hardly a new trick , even in 1999 . The Wages of Fear is all about the inevitability of death ; numerous kung fu flicks contain deeply embedded existentialist ideas ; and evenThe Terminatorcan be read as a meditation on the implacability of fate . But the way the Wachowskis managed to fuse leather-clad cyberpunk chop-socky thrills with concepts cribbed fromDescartes for Beginnersstill feels fresh and vibrant , 15 years later . To be fair , the central idea is more comfortably old-fashioned and biblical than you might realize : Keanu Reeves 's hero may question his reality at every turn , but so do all saviors of humanity , from Jesus to Batman . What really makesThe Matrixfly is the action : With their new " bullet time " technique ( essentially a triggered series of hundreds of still photographs taken around a moving subject ) , the Wachowskis found a way to convincingly " move " the camera within an all-CG environment , revolutionizing action films , music videos and try-hard TV ads for the next decade . -- Tom Huddleston The killer scene : Three hired guns wait for Bronson 's gunslinger at the railway station . And wait . And wait a bit more . And then wish they 'd waited even longer.Death in the dust Sergio Leone 's greatest western and a landmark in the genre , Once Upon a Time in the West somehow reinforces the myths of the old west and pulls them apart all at once . It 's there in the casting of Henry Fonda , a long-time upstanding good guy in the genre , as a chilling , child-slaying villain in black . And it 's there in its refusal to equate progress with civilisation ( the railroad bring death and corruption in this film ) and in its mood of melancholy . With help from Dario Argento and Bernardo Bertolucci , Leone pens a dusty requiem to an old way of life that 's embroidered by Ennio Morricone 's musical motifs and delivered with the director 's own trademark extravagance as the bullets begin to fly . Charles Bronson provides an enigmatic centrepiece , with Jason Robarts and Claudia Cardinale delivering swagger and heart -- a strange , undefined trio who represent a strange , undefined form of justice . -- Phil de Semlyen The killer scene : When struggling hero Liu finally passes his master 's log-balancing test and gets on his way to becoming a Shaolin warrior Buddha upThere are numerous claimants to the title of Greatest Kung Fu Movie Ever , but the one that crops up consistently is Liu Chia-liang 's Buddha-bothering , Wu-Tang Clan -- inspiring revolutionary epicThe 36th Chamber of Shaolin . The opening credits are a dazzling work of art in themselves , as Gordon Liu performs his high-kicking martial-arts exercises in an empty , spotlit studio , gold bangles jangling on his wrists . Then the story kicks in : Liu plays Liu Yude , a rebellious student who realizes that the only way to help his downtrodden people fight against Manchu oppression is to learn the ancient ways of Shaolin . But the monks abhor violence -- will they aid this charismatic renegade ? Like its questing hero , The 36th Chamberachieves a near-perfect balance between violent action and keen-sighted moral , spiritual and philosophical inquiry . The training sequences are second to none -- water ! fire ! heavy lifting ! -- while the final showdown is a fist-pumping triumph . -- Tom Huddleston Best quote : " Do n't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat , if you feel the heat around the corner . " The killer scene : Finally , acting giants Al Pacino and Robert De Niro stare each other down across a diner booth -- the moment is electric . Cops versus robbers , deluxeAfter reinventing television in the 1980s withMiami Vice , Michael Mann took his stylish instincts to the big screen , but he did n't quite get all the parts working until this film , an extraordinary L.A. crime saga with cool-blue depth . Heat is an action fan 's dream , provided that dream includes room for the serious topic of professional compromise , marital dysfunction and parental abandonment . The movie 's main protagonists -- Vincent ( Pacino ) , a hard-driving lieutenant , and Neil ( De Niro ) , a wary career criminal looking for that proverbial last job -- both have commitment issues ; their game of cat and mouse involves a ton of collateral damage . ( Pay note to a 14-year-old Natalie Portman , whose fragile character could use a dad . ) When the movie breaks out the guns , it becomes abstractly beautiful , especially during a brazen midday bank robbery scored to Brian Eno 's pumping synth beats . It 's a scene of urban warfare that 's never been eclipsed . -- Joshua Rothkopf Best quote : Looking at bottle label " What does it mean when there 's a picture of a skull ? " The killer scene : Jackie , an opponent and a wooden bench -- it becomes a woozy dance for three . The highest kick of allDo n't be surprised that some sequels place highly on our list . Few genres are as rewarding as action when it comes to second chapters upping the ante , improving on the stunts , pumping up the explosions . Jackie Chan proved himself the king of subsequent installments as his career entered its golden phase in the 1990s . Wong Fei Hung is one of Chan 's most likable creations : the dutiful son of a teacher who nonetheless brings shame upon his family by pursuing the unpredictable art of " drunken boxing , " all dizzying feints and unexpected blows . And it turns out that actually getting soused helps the practitioner ; several scenes inDrunken Master IIhave Chan desperately smashing bottles and guzzling down their contents for strength , even as his challengers rush him . The film 's extended , fire-breathing climax is a high point of Chan 's Peking Opera -- trained artistry , a master class in hand-to-hand combat with a video-game -- like frenzy . -- Joshua Rothkopf Best quote : " Big Nose , if you do n't jump now , forget about making any more films . " The killer scene : A three-story drop from a clock tower with no safety nets Big stunts , big chases , big action : the first " real " Jackie Chan movieThe aforementioned quote was shouted at Jackie by his " big brother , " Sammo Hung , as Chan clung to the face of a clock tower for a week , terrified of the three-story fall he was about to take . But with the aid of Sammo 's gentle abuse , Jackie let go , and the rest is history . The first Jackie Chan movie to combine large-scale stunts with balls-out action , Project Aalso cemented his onscreen persona as the ultimate Hong Kong everyman , a working-class guy who just wants to get through the day , and maybe take his girlfriend out for dinner . That a gang of pirates does n't want that to happen is merely an exasperating complication , like crosstown traffic . Whether he 's staging a bike chase down back alleys , swinging from a chandelier , or almost breaking his neck , it 's Jackie 's endless physical resourcefulness in the face of overwhelming odds that feels like a refreshing shower for your soul . -- Grady Hendrix The killer scene : Gibson and Busey 's stripped-to-the-waist showdown in the rain , the most hilariously homoerotic sequence in Mad Mel 's filmography Gibson on topWhere would Mel Gibson be withoutLethal Weapon , his big Hollywood breakthrough ? We like to imagine him back in Oz , far from the cruel attentions of the tabloid press , sinking a few cold ones after a hard day 's work on Australian TV'sHome and Away . Would he have been happier that way ? We 'll never know . What we do know is that the world would 've been robbed of one of the great buddy duos in movie history , not to mention several of its most perfectly delivered wisecracks . TheLethal Weaponseries went pretty wildly off the rails in later installments , but the original remains a heady blast of vigilante nihilism , reveling in scenes of excessive drug use , execution and torture ( a theme Mel would return to regularly throughout his career ) . But it 's in balancing these scenes with the cozy suburban warmth of Glover 's family life that the screenplay ( by then-25-year-old Shane Black ) finds its center , and becomes more than just another full-throttle beat-'em-up. -- Tom Huddleston The killer scene : A final assault in the church is bloodily , dramatically , spiritually excessive in every way . Brothers in armsThe most dementedly elegiac thriller you 've ever seen , distilling a lifetime 's enthusiasm for American and French film noir , with little Chinese about it apart from the soundtrack and the looks of the three beautiful leads . It started out as a homage to Martin Scorsese and Jean-Pierre Melville , but the limitless arsenal of guns and rocket-launchers appears to have gotten in the way . Exquisitely-tailored contract killer Jeff ( Chow Yun-Fat , Hong Kong 's finest actor ) accidentally damages the sight of nightclub singer Jennie while blasting a dozen gangsters to kingdom come . He befriends the near-blind girl , and decides to take One Last Job to finance the cornea graft she needs . There are half-a-dozen mega-massacres along the way , plus extraordinary spasms of sentimentality , romance and soul searching . Cut to the chaseIf car chases over the hilly streets of San Francisco are what gets your heart a-pumpin ' , this quintessential ' 60s shoot-'em-up is the movie for you . Steve McQueen could not be cooler -- we like the whole **32;4207;TOOLONG look -- and the thing moves faster than a speeding ... um ... what 's that word again ? These action sequences are brilliant : crisp and done without trickery in real locations , lending an extraordinary sense of immediacy to the shenanigans and gunfights . The killer scene : **25;4241;TOOLONG uses a fridge , a gas canister and a grenade to improvise a corridor-clearing weapon . Do not try this in Homebase Bet you 're glad you did n't pay the management fee By one of those weird bits of movie happenstance , two films with almost identical plots came out close together in the early 2010s : Dredd and this Indonesian actioner from Welsh filmmaker Gareth Evans . And it 's no disrespect to the former that it 's The Raid that we 're still talking about a decade or so later . Scratch that , it 's The Raid that we 're still recovering from . The set-up , of course , involves a law enforcer battling their way to reach a superbad at the top of a tower block . That man is charismatic pencak silat superstar Iko Uwais , who pulls out moves we did n't even know the human body was capable of in punching , stabbing , kicking and hammering his way up myriad storeys of an unusually dangerous housing project . It 's almost too much , except Evans remembers to throw in moments of ( relatively ) light relief and humanity to help catch our breath before the next round of pummelling starts . The best action film of the decade ? Very possibly . -- Phil de Semlyen The killer scene : Keaton rides the cowcatcher of an actual moving train and tosses one dislodged railroad tie at another in order to avoid derailment . It 's crazier than it looks -- if he mistimed it at all , the movie might be famous for entirely grimmer reasons . I choo-choo-choose youLong before Jackie Chan , Tom Cruise or the Jackass franchise , there was Buster Keaton , cinema 's original pratfall artist and the actor who redefined the boundaries of just how far a movie star could or should go to personally entertain an audience . ' Movie magic ' had just barely been invented when the guy tossed it all out and said : ' Screw all that , I 'm doing this shit for real , ' and The General is perhaps his greatest achievement , both as a film and as a feat of daredevilry most studios would never dare to insure today . Set during the American Civil War , Keaton plays a Confederate railroad engineer whose beloved locomotive is stolen by Union spies with his paramour aboard . ( Yes , the Union are the villains . Hey , it was the ' 20s . ) Cue what 's effectively a movie-length chase scene , filled with legit cannonfire , bridge derailments and the aforementioned cowcatcher scene , still one of the most famous stunts in film history . Sure , The General is the oldest full-length feature on this list , but it 's not simply a historical milemarker . Even a century later , it leaves jaws slack and hearts racing . -- Matthew Singer Best quote : " If that 's not a drop , I 'll open up a charge for you at Bloomingdale 's . " The killer scene:Gene Hackman chasing a subway train -- by car Here froggy , froggyMost ofThe French Connectioninvolves action of the moody , low-key sort , with Gene Hackman as Popeye , a no-nonsense , fists-flying detective on the trail of some big-time French drug importers ( " Frog One " and " Frog Two " as the cops call them ) in early-1970s New York City . Director William Friedkin sucks up the sights and menacing sizzle of the rundown , wintry metropolis , with a shouty , near-comic raid on a Brooklyn dive bar and ample shots of wet streets , looming bridges and packed subway trains . It 's a master class in tense , doc-style location shooting . But a set piece for the ages comes late in the game , as Popeye commandeers a passing car to chase a hijacked subway train under its elevated track ( Friedkin 's camera is mounted on both train and automobile ) . A final , anticlimactic shoot-out also lingers in memory . -- Dave Calhoun Sword of SherwoodErrol Flynn robs from the rich , gives to the poor and winks at the ladies in what is still the greatest screen version of this durable legend . Olivia de Havilland , Basil Rathbone and Claude Rains head an outstanding supporting cast . Way , way too much fun . The movie 's rich three-strip Technicolor gives the whole thing a picture-book quality , yet what we 're seeing here with Flynn at his zenith is actually the forebearer of James Bond , Indiana Jones et al. : the sheer essence of the celluloid action hero . The killer scene : The shopping mall brawl to end them all , in which Arnie fights off a gaggle of hapless security guards , pursues the lead baddie to the parking garage , gets run over by a convertible and just keeps on coming . The original MatrixArnold Schwarzenegger has been in better movies , but no movie really got him like Commando . He was already a star by the time he made this shamelessly violent , unapologetically absurd shoot-'em-up , but this is the film that solidified the Arnie cliche in the popular imagination . He redefines ' one-man wrecking crew ' as hilariously named retired army colonel John Matrix , who goes on an all-time rampage after terrorists kidnap his daughter ( a young Alyssa Milano ) , full of ridiculously huge explosions that send anonymous henchman flipping through the air like Olympic gymnasts , some improbable stealth manoeuvring from a man the size of a redwood and a handful of the greatest one-liners he 's ever delivered . ( Although the funniest scene might be the opening montage depicting his placid home life , showing Matrix happily feeding a deer and casually carrying a tree trunk over his shoulder . ) It 's certainly trashier than many of the films on this list , but it 's also more purely fun than most of them . Honestly , if you ca n't appreciate this kind of magnificently dumb spectacle , then maybe you do n't really like action movies . -- Matthew Singer The killer scene : The breathtaking dance to the death 60 feet high up in a bamboo forest Float like a butterfly , sting with a sword If you first saw Crouching Tiger , Hidden Dragon in a cinema , you 'll remember the gasps in the audience during the first major fight sequence , as Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Ziyi float up from the ground as if gravity has stopped working its magic . Astonishingly beautiful , this is an action film loved even by those who hate such things . The plot concerns a warrior , Li Mu Bai ( Chow ) , who , about to retire , entrusts his sword to Yu Shu Lien ( Yeoh ) ; their unspoken love is the heart and soul of the film . Zhang plays the daughter of a local governor who has secretly learned martial arts . Taiwanese-born director Ang Lee has said he wanted to make a tribute to the wuxia films he grew up with . The film won the Oscar for Best Foreign Film and scored the highest-ever box-office gross in the U.S. for a film not in English ( it was n't really about talk to begin with ) . -- Cath Clarke The Three Dragons execute a flawless kung fu rom-comJackie Chan , Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao grew up together in a harsh Chinese opera school , and you 'd have to go back to the Marx brothers to find performers with their kind of chemistry . InDragons , Jackie plays a sleazebag attorney defending a slimeball who polluted a nice lady 's fish hatchery . Blocked by the opposing lady lawyer , he hires a small-time crook ( " Big Brother " Sammo ) and an unhinged surveillance expert ( " Little Brother " Yuen ) to help him entrap the defendants , but then everyone falls in love . The three amigos ca n't stop fighting long enough to do their jobs , but the jokes end with a final fight in a drug lab that is , quite simply , one of the greatest action scenes of all time . This marked the last time the three brothers all worked together , but they went out in style , setting the screen on fire and breaking every jaw in sight . -- Grady Hendrix Best quote : ' Even though I 'm no more than a monster , do n't I , too , have the right to live ? ' Best scene : It 's not really an ' action scene ' per se , but the moment when Choi Min-sik consumes a live octopus -- a real live octopus , mind you -- will tie your guts in knots as much as anything else . Stop ! Hammer timeDoes Park Chan-wook 's new Korean classic count as an action movie , in the technical sense ? Sure , it 's got some banger sequences -- emphasis on ' bang ' -- but it could also slot in as a horror film , or a melodrama , or a psychological thriller . In truth , Oldboy belongs to a genre entirely of its own design . But those aforementioned action scenes ... well , goddamn . Most of the other directors on this list would give up their filmographies for a sequence as awesome as the side-scrolling hallway fight , as vengeful father Oh Dae-su ( a mesmerising Choi Min-sik ) mows down a whole crew of henchmen using only a hammer . In a vacuum , it 's monumentally badass . But like the rest of the film , it 's a moment shot through with both sadness and futility , as the movie barrels toward the protagonist 's ultimate , shocking denouement . Again , Oldboy is n't an action movie in the way others here are -- it 's more like a Greek tragedy for the video game era. -- Matthew Singer Best quote : " I want what they want , and every other guy who came over here and spilled his guts and gave everything he had , wants ! For our country to love us as much as we love it ! " The killer scene : Rambo fires an exploding arrow at a bad guy hiding in a waterfall . Wham , ' Nam , thank you , ma'amIn this frenetically entertaining sequel -- cowritten by James Cameron -- snarling ex -- Green Beret Rambo ( Stallone ) is parachuted back into Vietnam on a suicidal top-secret mission by corrupt government officials . ( " Sir , do we get to win this time ? " our hero asks beforehand . ) The perma-sweaty , muscle-bound Sly grunts and grimaces his way through a string of violent set pieces , mercilessly slaying faceless villains with whichever tools are lying around : fishing lines , bazookas , or , in one memorable scene , an exploding arrowhead . Most critics , alarmed by the fantastical anti-Communist politics on display , slammedFirst Blood Part II . It also waltzed away with a whopping five Razzie Awards . But audiences did n't care : It became the first film to play on over 2,000 screens in the U.S. , and Sly 's third-biggest box-office success to date . Moreover , its blend of high-octane widescreen action and ever-spiraling body count helped set the template for a new breed of OTT action movie . -- Ashley Clark The killer scene : Chow Yun Fat , two guns , and some potted plants take out the trash The big bang that birthed a billion heroic bloodshed moviesJohn Woo 's career was in the toilet when he and Tsui Hark decided to remake Patrick Lung Kong 's 1967 classic , Story of a Discharged Prisoner . Channeling all his frustrations into the script , A Better Tomorrowushered in a new era of ballistic brotherhood . Ti Lung plays a crook , just out of the slammer , caught between patching things up with his little brother , a cop ( Leslie Cheung ) , and staying away from his old boss ( Waise Lee ) who wants him back in the game . When the pressure gets to be too much , things explode into two-gunned action with the help of his old comrade-in-arms , Mark ( Chow Yun Fat ) , onetime king of cool , now a limping squeegee man . Written in fire and blood , the image of Mark , a gun in each hand , trench coat flapping like black wings , branded itself into the brains of a generation of action fans , and still appears in movies to this day . -- Grady Hendrix The killer scene : After a high-speed foot chase through the backstreets -- and backyards -- of Los Angeles , Johnny Utah finally has Bodhi cornered ... but he just ca n't pull the trigger , so to speak . The first time a person watches Point Break , it 's typically with a certain level of ironic detachment . C'm on , a movie about Keanu Reeves as an ex-college football player turned hotshot detective named Johnny Utah going undercover to bust a gang of SoCal surfer bank robbers led by Patrick Swayze as a hunky zen master known only as Bodhi ? Sure , hilariouspremise , but is this a film we 're really supposed to take seriously ? Then , somewhere around your 20th viewing , you realise your palms still get sweaty during Keanu 's parachuteless skydive and your jaw still goes slack during that iconic foot chase , and you see Point Break for the absolute guilt-free , high-octane , sky-shooting , pitbull-tossing , vaguely homoerotic banger that it is . Not that it is n't laugh-out-loud absurd at points ... or at basically every point . But that 's precisely what makes it one of the most fun , immortally rewatchable action-thrillers ever made , from your first viewing to your 200th. -- Matthew Singer Bruce Lee meets Buster Keaton inStephen Chow ?

Enter the director-star 's wannabe gangster Sing , who is desperate to join the gang and sets about harassing the slum of Pigsty Alley to prove his bona fides , only to be foiled by a trio of actual martial arts masters . A burst of ? madcap Hong Kong energy that marries Looney Tunes slapstick with a Magnificent Seven-style ? ? storyline , as the gangsters return to ? d ? uff up Pigsty Alley ? , it 's a fun ride with all the intensity ? and craft of the best of martial arts cinema. ? ? Any action movie that ends with someone literally punching the planet -- via the so-called ' Buddhist Palm ' -- is welcome to join our gang any time . -- Yu An Su The killer scene : In a film filled with amazing stunts , the bare-knuckle scrap in the bathroom of a Paris nightclub is the real grabber . Henry Cavill 's fist-reloading physicality ( fist reloading ! ) and Cruise 's wiry , against-the-odds vigour and subtle comic timing make for an awesome double act . There 's a reason it 's on this list of the greatest stunts ever . Well , HALO thereFrom Fast and Furious to the mass of superhero movies , all franchises lose their spark in the end . Not Mission Impossible and definitely not Fallout , a sixth instalment that builds on the strengths of Ghost Protocol to deliver a taut , tense and thrilling blockbuster . What it might lack in visual aesthetic it trades for a string of unthinkable action setpieces , making it the most daring instalment since Brian De Palma 's slick 1996 original , director Christopher McQuarrie keeps things moving at lightning speed . No action sequence is allowed to falter : from the brutal bathroom beatdown , to the hair-raising HALO jump , to the climactic helicopter-on-helicopter battle -- and all without resorting to heavy CGI or clever editing . Cruise 's masochistic dedication to entertaining the moviegoing masses makes this one of the most exhilarating mainstream action films in recent years . Mission accomplished . -- Yu An Su Special deliveryActive from the 1940s to the mid- ' 80s , writer-director Richard Brooks exemplified the extraordinary changes Hollywood went through during that time , and this all-star Western marks the transition between old-school Hollywood entertainment and the darker tone of the post-studio era . The film takes a men-on-a-mission scenario ( old soldiers Marvin , Lancaster and Robert Ryan head south of the border to rescue kidnap victim Cardinale ) and infuses it with star-driven banter , intermittent action highlights , and much musing on the transient nature of idealism by hardened pros . While the gunplay and the assault on the villains ' hideout are certainly tame by Sam Peckinpah standards , the characters ' sense that they 're mere hirelings with nothing left to believe in definitely anticipatesThe Wild Bunch , making this a movie that 's perfectly enjoyable on its own terms , but even more fascinating when viewed in the wider context of what was to come . -- Trevor Johnston The killer scene : Opponent has a large sword , Donnie has a dried cattail . Place your bets . Keep calm and carry onBest not look here for a historically accurate portrayal of the eminent real-life martial artist Ip Man , who later mentored Bruce Lee and recently inspired Wong Kar-wai 's latest offering , The Grandmaster . The facts are sacrificed for yet another commercially savvy epic of Chinese national resistance against Japanese invaders . What youwillfind , however , is a great role for the occasionally wooden Donnie Yen , whose straight-backed demeanor and lightning moves make him more dramatically convincing than usual as the reserved bourgeois adherent of thewing chunschool , discovering his true role as inspirational leader during his community 's darkest hour . While the action highlights are inventive and crunching in equal measure ( particularly when Yen gets his hands on various handy implements ) , director Yip 's careful , nuanced unfolding of the protagonist 's progress makes this a surprisingly engrossing watch , even for martial-arts skeptics. -- Trevor Johnston Best quote : " He used to be real cool . He turned a suspect into a half-wit with only one punch . " The killer scene : A semi-improvised alleyway beatdown The rebirth of Hong Kong coolIn 2005 , Hong Kong action cinema was dead . Then Wilson Yip , director of junk likeThe Mummy , Donnie Yen , a 42-year-old also-ran , and Sammo Hung , then serving time in movie jail , came out of nowhere with this sleek butt-kicker that shot 50,000 volts through the genre 's heart . Inspector Chan ( Simon Yam ) has been trying to arrest triad kingpin Po ( Hung ) for years but now he 's got a brain tumor . Inspector Ma ( Yen ) is taking over his cases and who cares ? But Yip serves up these cliches withDark Knightlevels of bleakness , and Donnie Yen delivers intense badassery that is downright religious in its sheer conviction , culminating in a semi-improvised back-alley brawl , followed by a smackdown with Sammo that only ends when every table in the world is broken . -- Grady Hendrix Swing low , sweet chariotIt 's got a cast of thousands , stretches of religiosity , a dab of leprosy and even a cameo from Our Lord Jesus , but the chariot race remains the prime reason this sword-and-sandal Oscar winner represents a strain of pre-digital epic cinema we 'll never see again . Before Charlton Heston faced off against enemy Stephen Boyd in this film 's vast Circus Maximus set built at Rome 's Cinecitt ? , Hollywood action sequences involved the second unit covering the stunt work , then the editor dropping in back-projected inserts of the star.Ben-Hurchanged the game forever , since Heston and Boyd trained for months to handle chariots in close-up , ace stunt coordinator Yakima Canutt 's team provided death-defying spills , and director William Wyler planned his widescreen camera angles so the whole assembly worked as a dynamic construct . The white-knuckle realism still works thrillingly , and -- George Lucas'sPhantom Menacererun included -- simply ca n't replicated by today 's pixel-crunching technology . -- Trevor Johnston The killer scene : The guns-blazing helicopter chase across the Florida Keys ' seven-mile bridge Hezbollah-a-poppin'Back in the 1990s , Islamic terrorism was a big goof . James Cameron could happily present a gang of wanna-be nuclear bombers as pratfalling jokers , bungling their way through a suicide mission like Allah 's own Keystone Kops . Now , of course , it does n't seem quite so amusing . What does still work , however , is the central conceit , based on a little-seen 1991 French comedy calledLa Totale ! Part James Bond , part Homer Simpson and part his own bad self , Arnie plays it to the hilt as Harry Tasker , an undercover CIA agent who leads a double life as a suburban family man -- at least until wife Jamie Lee Curtis smells a rat . One of Cameron 's lightest , least apocalyptic projects ( the occasional atomic explosion aside ) , True Liesis a film of simple , perfectly executed pleasures : gun battles , helicopter chases and saucy screwball misunderstandings . Those terrorists still leave a bad taste , though. ? -- Tom Huddleston The killer scene : A final fight unfolding so fast , it blisters your eyes TheUnforgivenof martial-arts moviesTsui Hark deconstructs the world of chivalrous heroes , turning it into a man-eat-dog hellscape where mercy is just another word for " weakness . " Reimagining Chang Cheh 's landmark 1967 film , The One-Armed Swordsmen , as a psychotronic phantasmagoria full of scars and tattoos , mutilation , amputation , sexual frustration and heavy chunks of steel-splitting muscle and breaking bones , Tsui rolls his superstylized camera through the dirt and turns the freeze-frame into a tombstone . Sharp Manufacturers is a sword factory protected from the violence raging outside its walls by Master , who tolerates zero nonsense . But his daughter ( Song Nei ) is bored and decides to play with the help , manipulating two apprentice sword makers into a contest for her affections , unleashing a tidal wave of sex and blood that drowns them all . By the time the last body hits the ground , the audience has been battered into submission . -- Grady Hendrix Best quote : " I like these calm little moments before the storm .

The oddest odd couple Hollywood action meets European art house in Luc Besson 's first American film . This is the most twisted Pygmalion story in the history of cinema , in which a hangdog lonely hit man , L ? on ( Jean Reno ) , teaches streetwise 12-year-old Mathilda ( Natalie Portman ) the art of killing after a psychotic cop ( Gary Oldman ) takes out her family . The pair finds redemption in each other : L ? on , a man who calls the houseplant on his windowsill his best friend , learns to love ; Mathilda finds security and strength . The film splits audiences : Is their relationship sweetly touching or , given her age , troubling ? Is Oldman the scariest , most deranged villain since Jack Nicholson in The Shining ? Or an overacting ham ? Wherever you stand , L ? on is slick , stylish and unpredictable , with its share of explosive action scenes . -- Cath Clarke Best quote : " You 're U.S. government property -- you 're a malfunctioning $30 million weapon . " The killer scene : Death by ballpoint pen when Bourne takes out a machine-gun -- armed assassin in his Paris apartment He 's on his own side nowDirector Doug Liman considered Russell Crowe and Sylvester Stallone to play the CIA operative with a hard-core case of amnesia . Now it 's impossible to imagine any actor other than Matt Damon in the role . WatchingThe Bourne Identity , the first film in the series , Damon looks touchingly young , bringing vulnerability to the near-superhuman Jason Bourne , who is pulled out of the sea by fishermen with bullets in his back and his memory wiped . The mega-successful conspiracy-thriller franchise has reinvented the genre , kick-starting a new generation of gritty action movies by lending them the texture of real life . You can certainly traceBournein Daniel Craig 's 007 films , but , according to Damon , there are a million miles between Bourne and Bond , whom he calls " a misogynist , an imperialist . He 's all the things that Bourne is n't . He kills people , then drinks a martini . " The protectiveness is sweet , really . -- Cath Clarke The killer scene:The bitter end , which fulfills the bleak promise the entire film has been making all along Trucking hellBefore the rise ofLucy 's Luc Besson and his cavalcade of Eurotrash shoot-'em-ups , the French were not a nation noted for their propensity for cinematic action . They seemed to prefer films about cigarette-smoking intellectuals , shabby policemen and gone-to-seed strippers -- not , say , giant robots who enjoy smashing stuff . But there was a time , long ago , when nail-biting thrills and tough philosophical statements about man 's inhumanity could sit quite comfortably side by side , a trend that reached its peak with Henri-Georges Clouzot 's dizzyingThe Wages of Fear . The tale of four hopeless losers forced by poverty and desperation to take a job driving trucks filled with nitroglycerine dynamite across the worst roads in the Amazon jungle , this is an unrelentingly sweaty , grimy , dread-filled experience . But it 's also one of the cinema 's toughest , least forgiving portraits of men on the edge , barreling toward certain death and bitching miserably every inch of the way . -- Tom Huddleston The killer scene : Wick takes out henchmen in a neon-lit dance club filled with pounding techno and appreciative onlookers . Keanu , risingAn action franchise was born and we took notice . John Wick ( Keanu Reeves , channeling his euphoric whoa of yore ) is a recent widower and secret assassin whose final gift from his cancer-stricken wife -- a floppy-eared beagle -- is snuffed out with a sad little yelp during a brutal home invasion by Russian thugs . Wick recovers in record time , then out come the guns , the rifles and the mysterious gold coins , as Game of Thrones ' hapless Alfie Allen ( forever destined to be a picked-upon target ) finds himself pursued by a ruthless , legendary killing machine that every other character seems wise enough to fear . John Wick is action manna for its cleanly designed gun-fu sequences , ones you can actually follow . The film 's codirectors , veteran stunt experts , have designed the movie within an eye for impact , and there 's an elegant sparseness here that 's thrilling . We did n't go in expecting poetry but we 're glad we went . -- Joshua Rothkopf Best quote : " Stop trying to be cool all the time ! Why do n't you just arrest people ? " The killer scene : The final half hour of nonstop , thighs-around-face mayhem Donnie Yen stars in the most Donnie Yen movie ever.For the audience who found itsKill Zone -- S.P.L.too intellectual , Wilson Yip and Donnie Yen deliverFlash Point , which is to martial-arts movies what MMA is to gay porn : unconscious macho camp . But like all good drag shows , it 's also a total guilty pleasure . Donnie Yen doubles down on his self-conscious cool , all peacock struts , leather jackets and skinny jeans as he infiltrates a Vietnamese gang with undercover buddy Wilson ( Louis Koo ) . The two bros frequently meet on the beach , topless , to see who has the better bod . The first 50 minutes are devoted to characters repeating that Donnie is a " loose cannon . " The final 30 minutes are a nonstop orgy of mayhem showcasing Donnie 's new-school action choreography that features boxing , judo , MMA , Muay Thai and karate . The greatest metaphor for this flick is its central image of a ticking time bomb stuffed inside a roast turkey . -- Grady Hendrix The killer scene : The astonishingly intense final fight , marking the end of Leonidas Greeks for geeks ( of the action variety ) In this blistering ( and gloriously campy ) historical epic , director Snyder makes remarkable use of computer technology to bring Frank Miller 's sprawling graphic novel to life . With its stunningly detailed visuals , rigorously controlled color scheme and clean , episodic storytelling , it remains the purest example to date of cinema-as-comic book . A murderer 's row of quality acting talent -- including Gerard Butler , Michael Fassbender and Dominic West -- lines up to stab , spear and slash their way through a blood-spattered retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae . Special mention should be made of Rodrigo Santoro , who gives a deliciously ripe performance as the bejeweled , pierced and ultra-sadistic villain Xerxes . The film inspired a dismal spoof ( Meet the Spartans ) and a feeble sequel ( 300 : Rise of an Empire ) , but laid the groundwork for a new wave of brutal , sexed-up sword-and-sandal fare likeSpartacus : Blood and Sandand HBO'sGame of Thrones . -- Ashley Clark The killer scene : A duel with an opponent whose knuckles drip with heavy jade rings A vindication of the badassery ofwing chunLet 's learn about wing chun ! Founded by a Buddhist nun , this fighting style with its up-close contact and low kicks is constantly dissed as sissy fu , butThe Prodigal Sondumps that junk in a grave . Yuen Biao plays a cocky kung fu brat whose rich daddy secretly pays his opponents to lose . When a Chinese opera company comes through town , its cross-dressing diva , Leung ( Lam Ching-ying ) , turns out to be a wing chun master who teaches the brawling brat a lesson . Yuen is suddenly desperate to become Leung 's student -- and Leung is just as desperate for that not to happen . Lam Ching-ying ( Bruce Lee 's stunt double ) struts his stuff as the asthmatic Leung , with shaved eyebrows and a beanpole physique . An actual student of wing chun , Lam dispenses elegant beatdowns in fights that turn into musical numbers , as well as wrist-locking , joint-cracking battles fought on narrow gang planks . -- Grady Hendrix If Sammo Hung had been in charge , we 'd have won Vietnam.One of Sammo 's four masterpieces , Eastern Condorsis a VietnamWar moviethat replaces politics with punching , angst with ass-kicking . It 's 1976 and the Pentagon offers Sammo and 11 other Chinese prisoners a deal : go back to Vietnam and destroy a weapons cache they left behind and be given their freedom . But before boots even hit the ground , the mission goes totally FUBAR -- it 's canceled halfway through their parachute drop and a teammate nicknamed " Stammer " screws up his rip-cord countdown . Making matters worse , an elite Vietcong kill squad is on their trail , led by Yuen Wah , a giggling , fan-flicking psychopath who minces into action before ripping out shoulder blades . Brimming over with Russian roulette , tiger cages , child soldiers and phenomenal female-freedom fighters , the climax features eight of Hong Kong 's best martial artists going at it hammer and tongs , as Hung 's prowling camera glides between three simultaneous fights . Suck it , Oliver Stone . -- Grady Hendrix The killer scene : Rambo lays waste to a bunch of soldiers with a mounted machine gun . Last blood ? When we last saw one-man army John Rambo ( Sylvester Stallone ) in 1988 's ill-conceivedRambo III , he was riding off into the sunset with the mujahideen . Twenty years later , Islamic freedom fighters are kinda-sorta not in favor , so he 's somehow made his way to Thailand where he works a cushy job as a snake handler . Along come some missionaries on a humanitarian journey to Burma , and Rambo -- against his better judgment -- agrees to lead them through the war-torn country . How do you think that goes ? This is the first time Stallone directed one of his ownRamboscripts , and the film feels infused with his particular brand of cartoonishly monosyllabic machismo , which is perversely a virtue . Think too hard about what happens ( every peacenik inevitably turns violent ; the villains are child-raping mass murderers ) and you 'll see this is as hysterically reactionary as movies get . But Stallone makes his one-sided , pro-interventionist argument with such intoxicating fervor -- especially in an astonishingly bloody finale filled with decapitations , bullet-riddled bad guys and a visual equation of Rambo to Jesus Christ -- that the fantasy becomes impossible to resist . -- Keith Uhlich Best quote : " A good body with a dull brain is as cheap as life itself . " The killer scene : There 's really only one contender here , and it involves the film 's title preceded by the wordI 'm . Romanes eunt domusWhenever critics try to minimize Stanley Kubrick as a cold , monolithic creator , they always get hung up onSpartacus . Here is a film that displays almost none of that master filmmaker 's customary traits : It 's lusty and full-throated , sprawling and sentimental , and as far as it 's possible to get from the clinical , claustrophobic Kubrick of clich ? . The director did n't work on the script ( penned by blacklisted leftist Dalton Trumbo ) , hence all the authority-baiting socialist rhetoric that underpins its mythic account of slave rebellion . Additionally , Kubrick surrendered creative control to producer Kirk Douglas , a move he would never make again . But surely it 's the mark of a great artist to be flexible , and one of the pleasures ofSpartacus -- particularly in its vast , flaming battle scenes -- is feeling that pull between the messy grandiosity of an old-fashioned Hollywood epic and the artistic precision that Kubrick strived to bring to the proceedings . Maybe he should 've cut loose like this a little more often . -- Tom Huddleston The killer scene : Chan himself called the final fight with karate world champ Benny " The Jet " Urquidez as a career-best scene . The pain in SpainYears before the 1992 Olympics , Jackie Chan hit Barcelona in this comedy-actioner evidently angled toward international audiences . Ironically , they were n't so interested , since the humor in this caper -- where food-truck partners Chan and Yuen tangle with a mysterious missing heiress -- is still very much playing to the Hong Kong market . If not exactly smoothly assembled , the result still has a lot of puppyish charm , with the happy-go-lucky twosome at its fleetest , and the usual quotient of oof-tastic pratfalls . It does take too long to get to warp speed , but by the time Chan and Yuen tackle a team of henchmen in the villain 's castle , the film really takes off -- especially when Chan lines up against undefeated world karate champ Benny " The Jet " Urquidez in an encounter whose speed of movement beggars belief . Was there ever a badder dude named after an Elton John song ? -- Trevor Johnston The killer scene : Three men step onto a sun-baked mesa , preparing to draw in the tensest Mexican standoff in movies . Some spaghetti with your American beefItalian maestro Sergio Leone invented a delicious kind of cinematic foreplay -- his action scenes explode into violence but you remember the buildups more vividly : sweat collecting on knotted brows , fingers creeping toward triggers and , most iconically , two big eyes filling the screen . Grander spaghetti Westerns were on the horizon ( including Leone 's own poeticOnce Upon a Time in the West , but arguably , none were as critical as this one ) , ramping up the brutality that made the genre feel like a subversive comment on an increasingly warlike America . His stars came from Hollywood , but once they arrived in Rome -- and , soon after , the Spanish deserts passing for the Old West -- they were in a country of one filmmaker 's supreme imagination . So much modern action grammar comes from Leone and his genius composer Ennio Morricone , who transformed twangy doom guitars and shriekingay-ya-yas into the natural sound of the frontier . -- Joshua Rothkopf The little engine that couldThe legend goes like this : At the premiere of pioneer filmmakers Auguste and Louis Lumi ? re 's one-minute , single-shot document of a train pulling into a coastal French station , audience members jumped out of their seats , convinced the locomotive was racing toward them . Truth or apocrypha ? Many scholars have argued for the latter , but the myth took hold and persists to this day . ( Martin Scorsese 's 3-D fantasiaHugoeven re-creates the purported incident . ) Once you hear the tale , it 's impossible to divorce the film from it -- the fantasy is too attractive , and it perfectly ties into the ethos of the action movie , which thrives on goosing our emotions by making us believe ( if primarily on a subconscious level ) that we 're truly in the thick of things . All the bullets we 've dodged , all the cars we 've crashed , all the trains we 've ducked away from , they all start here . -- Keith Uhlich Best quote : " The last American hero to whom speed means freedom of the soul . " The killer scene:Newman puts pedal to the metal heading straight for a police roadblock . Road to nowhereHe collects the white Dodge Challenger in Denver on Friday at 11:30pm , due for delivery in San Francisco on Monday at 3pm . Impossible ? The question does n't apply when our antihero 's odyssey is less endurance challenge than existential metaphor for the bleak state of post- ' 60s America . Sure , there 's something ineffably watchable about these big old gas-guzzlers sliding all over the asphalt as Newman 's Kowalski outmaneuvers police in three states , though director Sarafian 's really interested in the wide , wide shots where the car 's just a speck against a massive landscape . It certainly puts in cosmic context the anti-authoritarian trajectory , allowing an ex -- speedway racer to win the hearts of the poor , the black and the hippified as Cleavon Little 's DJ , Super Soul , broadcasts his exploits . A stunningly astringent finale offers no easy solutions for a divided nation . It 's a cool touch -- though it would have been cooler had Super Soul put some actual soul music on the mundane rock soundtrack. -- Trevor Johnston Best quote : " Oh , James , will you make love to me all the time in England ? " The killer scene : The fight between Sean Connery and Robert Shaw in an old-school train compartment , en route from Istanbul The Gospel According to Saint JamesThe second Bond movie has Sean Connery returning as 007 , now sucked into a cat-and-mouse plot when he has to travel to Venice and Istanbul to try and retrieve a code-breaking device . Robert Shaw and Lotte Lenya are memorable SPECTRE villains , but this first sequel now stands out for its Hitchcock-Le Carr ? qualities : a slow-burn plot centered on a train ride through Europe . That said , it also introduces elements repeated since : the signature pre-titles action sequence and a penchant for speedboats and helicopters . It 's somehow both leisurely and brutal . -- Dave Calhoun Best quote : " Like my saint of a mum used to say , ' Get ' em young and the possibilities are endless . ' " The killer scene : Jet Li 's one-punch takedown of an overgrown gimp Jet Li is ready for his close-up now , Mr. DeMille.Considered the best actor among the action-hero aristocracy , Jet Li proves that he 's got the chops to play a street kid brutalized from birth to become a human attack dog " unleashed " on the enemies of his mob-boss master , Bob Hoskins . This story of a man-dog running away to live with a gentle piano tuner ( played by Morgan Freeman , no less ) and his hottie daughter dances right on the razor 's edge of risible , but the feral thesping of Hoskins and surprising charm of Li keep it anchored . So does the brutal action design by Yuen Woo-ping ( The Matrix ) , full of nipple gnawing , head butting and savage smackdowns in narrow bathrooms . It could all be a metaphor for Li 's career . After all , Unleashedis ultimately about a young martial artist who wants to run away from his masters so he can stop beating people up and simply entertain them . -- Grady Hendrix Best quote : " Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side , kid . " The killer scene : The final trench run , as X-Wing fighters peel off in unison to the sound of John Williams 's triumphant trumpet fanfare Makin ' wookiee In comparison with your average modern blockbuster , in which the story grinds to a halt every 15 minutes to make room for another eye-scorching set piece , there 's very little action in the first Star Wars movie : an extended chase through the Death Star corridors , a perfunctory sword fight between two knightly codgers and a pair of space dogfights , and that 's pretty much it . Sure , to ' 70s audiences raised on the creaky likes of Planet of the Apes and TV 's Star Trek , that may have seemed like a lot , but why do modern movie lovers return so regularly and enthusiastically to this particular film ? The answer lies in George Lucas 's mythic storytelling and the narrative momentum he manages to sustain throughout . From Star Wars ' opening blast of laser fire to its climactic fireball , it keeps raising the dramatic stakes , giving the impression of action even when the characters are just sitting on their backsides chatting about exhaust ports . It 's a lesson we hope J.J. Abrams has studied well . -- Tom Huddleston Back to butt-kicking basicsBetween 1986 and 1989 , Sammo Hung directed , choreographed and starred in four classics , three of which make this list:Dragons Forever , Eastern CondorsandPedicab Driver . Although it ended his jaw-dropping string of hits , Pedicab Driver remains a charming throwback to old-school Chinese cinema given an adrenalized action injection . Sammo plays a pedicab-driving slob in 1940s Macau , in love with a woman who ca n't see past his belly . The movie is mostly a charming comedy of blue-collar manners until a satanically evil pimp takes a piss on paradise . At which point , Sammo straps on his suspenders of justice and marches off to restore order , bare-knuckle style . A celebration of hand-to-hand combat , featuring kung fu legend Lau Kar-leung showing off his chops , this flick does for lumberjack shirts what Bruce Lee did for yellow jumpsuits. -- Grady Hendrix The killer scene : Zatoichi slices and dices his way through a gang of sword-wielding gangsters , all without batting an eyelid . In the kingdom of the blind , a samurai will slice you up.A combination of oddball surrealism and vicious violence , this 2003 Japanese reboot of the classic samurai series makes for some uncomfortable viewing . The film revolves around Zatoichi , a " blind masseur " who takes it upon himself to single-handedly protect a village from a greedy gang terrorizing the locals with extortionate protection fees . So far , soRobin Hood : Prince of Thieves -- but darkness starts slipping in with tales of child prostitution , political assassinations and gory murders . Zatoichi bumbles and stumbles his way through town , slicing up any wrongdoers with a flick of his hiddenkatana , before eventually leaving a pile of dismembered yakuza bleeding on the ground in a brilliantly graceful final fight . Adding immeasurably : It 's all laced with surreal humor , and the film ends with a massive , choreographed tap-dancing scene . -- Eddy Frankel The killer scene : Any of Voight 's eyeball-rolling , scenery-chewing soliloquies on the subject of life 's brutality and unfairness Enter the VoightA classic case of as-advertised satisfactions , this thunderously OTT action melodrama -- adapted from an original outline by Akira Kurosawa -- sees Jon Voight 's psychotic convict escape from an Alaskan prison with goofy rapist Eric Roberts in tow . Stowing away on the last freight train back to civilization , the pair realizes it 's in deep trouble when the driver keels over from a heart attack . Russian director Andrei Konchalovsky may be the only man to have worked with both Andrei Tarkovsky ( he cowroteAndrei Rublev ) and Sylvester Stallone ( he would go on to direct the underratedTango & Cash ) , and he brings both sensibilities to bear here:Runaway Trainis n't just a high-speed chase flick , it 's also a batshit faux-Shakespearean meditation on man 's animal instincts . The result is completely ludicrous , but as brakes screech , sparks fly , and Voight 's lip-curling nut raises his fists to the sky and curses a hateful God , it 's impossible not to be swept along in the slipstream. -- Tom Huddleston The killer scene : So many to choose from , but the surreal crop-duster chase is an essential sequence from the Master of Suspense . A monumental achievementIt 's easy to forget how radical Hitchcock 's greatest action comedy is , given all the things that make it so deeply 1959 : Cary Grant , that impeccable gray suit , a raging Cold War , the ol ' wrong-man scenario . Then again , this is also the film with a brazenly sexual Eva Marie Saint ( and that train plunging into the tunnel ) , as well as a seesawing Bernard Herrmann score that feels like the beginning of all of Hans Zimmer 's ominous blasts.North by Northwestbelongs on any serious list of action essentials , at the least for offering up a framework for the upcoming James Bond series . The sheer size of the spectacle Hitchcock served up in VistaVision is still apparent in today 's elephantine offerings ; to watch these characters scramble across the impassive face of Mount Rushmore during the climax is to witness the modern action movie being born . -- Joshua Rothkopf The killer scene : Jim Brown 's race for glory ends in disaster in front of the Ch ? teau Rennes . 12 angry menNot every corner of London was swinging back in 1967 . In and around the suburban Borehamwood studios , a rough-hewn band of Hollywood roustabouts were busy creating a film that stood in direct opposition to the hippie dream -- and just about everything else . Brutal , bloodthirsty and belligerent ( with a moral compass bent way out of shape ) , The Dirty Dozenis one of the most unlovely films ever to be released by a major studio . It 's also , of course , an absolute blast , as Lee Marvin 's hard-bitten major recruits 12 death-row inmates for a WWII suicide mission way behind enemy lines . The majority of the film is taken up with scowling , yelling and scrambling up ropes in the training yard , but when the big finale arrives , it 's everything you hoped it would be : The buildup of tension is immaculate , and when the bullets start flying , all hell really does break loose . -- Tom Huddleston The killer scene : A children 's playground provides the perfect setting for Jackie versus various pipe-wielding henchmen . Once more with feelingJackie Chan obviously knew the frisky comedy and life-threatening spills in the originalPolice Storywould be hard to top . So he took a different strategy in the sequel : a more developed procedural plot involving a bomber at large , and a fuller role for concerned girlfriend Maggie Cheung . Unfortunately , all this proves slightly stodgy in practice , rendering the thrills on display somewhat subdued . It 's a shame , really , since taken on its own terms , the action 's very much prime Jackie -- not least a couple of dazzlingly fleet fight scenes , plus the addition of a firework-throwing deaf-mute villain . As ever with Chan , the lure here is absolutely no special-effects fakery , and end-credits outtakes reveal the physical toll incurred , not least for costar Cheung , who almost had her scalp ripped off when a stunt went wrong . -- Trevor Johnston The killer scene:A shot of the Joker sticking his head out of a speeding car window to taste the night air is at once appealingly puppyish and weirdly terrifying . Smile , though your heart is breakingThe first and third installments of Christopher Nolan 's lucrative Batman reboot are , like so much of the director 's work , excessively po-faced and portentous , demanding that the audience swallow the concept of an aristocrat in eyeliner battling crime in a growly porn voice . But sandwiched in the middle came this near-flawless conspiracy thriller , featuring the greatest screen villain since Darth Vader drew his last rattling breath . The announcement of tween-friendly pretty boy Heath Ledger 's casting as the Joker was the cause of huge controversy and debate in the nerdosphere , but the results speak for themselves : This is a hurricane of a performance , as unnerving as it is beautiful to watch -- the emergence of a towering talent . Rather than be hemmed in by Nolan 's Swiss-watch directing style , Ledger subverts it at every turn , railing against the prison of action-movie precision in the same way his unhinged character batters at the walls of moral conformity . The result is something very rare in the blockbuster age : true unpredictability . -- Tom Huddleston The killer scene : Jake LaMotta 's defeat at the hands of Sugar Ray Robinson Great punch lineMartin Scorsese 's evocative black-and-white biopic about real-life brawler Jake LaMotta ( Robert De Niro ) is an intensely physical movie , tracing with operatic grandeur its protagonist 's life from volatile middleweight contender to an obese has-been . The punches land hard in and out of the ring -- LaMotta 's confrontations with his long-suffering wife ( Cathy Moriarty ) and loyal-to-a-fault brother ( Joe Pesci ) often seem bloodier than any of the astonishingly visceral slugfests . It 's also a deeply spiritual film , in no small part due to De Niro 's monastic commitment to the role . His much publicized regimen -- training with LaMotta himself to get into tip-top fighting condition , then plumping himself up for the final scenes via a four-month eating binge -- is the ultimate in actorly sacrifice . -- Keith Uhlich The killer scene : The gibbering Scorpio killer gets an entire bus of hijacked schoolkids to join him in a rendition of " Row , Row , Row Your Boat . " Cleaning up the streetsIn the mid- ' 90s , rumors abounded of a big-screen adaptation of Alan Moore 's The Dark Knight Returns , set to star Clint Eastwood as Gotham 's glowering caped crusader . But the truth is , Clint had already said everything he needed to say about the fascist appeal of vigilante crime-fighting with this one , arguably his most iconic screen role . Here is the template for every subsequent hard-bitten antihero , Batman included , the major difference being that instead of a millionaire playboy lurking in his mansion , Harry Callahan was blue-collar to his core : a crumpled flatfoot living in a two-room walk-up and existing entirely on a diet of whiskey , cigarettes and slinky bebop jazz . He even had his own Joker to contend with , Andrew Robinson 's giggling Scorpio killer ( based on San Francisco 's real-life Zodiac case ) , whose megalomaniacal schemes laid the groundwork for legions of unhinged comic-book villains to come . Listen closely , and you can almost hear Christopher Nolan frantically scribbling notes . -- Tom Huddleston The killer scene : The climactic bust-up between heroic Holden and madman Guinness is both gripping and tragic . Men at workPeople know it better these days from the gang 's demoralized whistling inThe Breakfast Club -- that 's the " Colonel Bogey March , " originally used as WWII soldiers trudged their way into their POW camp . David Lean 's epic has a bit of stuffiness to it : It 's a big prestige picture that won a lot of Oscars . But there 's no denying that when that bridge finally goes kaboom , we 've seen one of cinema 's greatest action scenes . There is no clear distinction between heroism and villainy ; Lean uses the massive CinemaScope canvas to keep us at an emotional remove from the characters so they seem like checkerboard pieces moving toward a fixed , destructive point . The killer scene : Jet and Tony walk on water in an aerial duel over a picturesque lake . The official version After Crouching Tiger , Hidden Dragon ( see No. 36 ) , it was only a matter of time before a Chinese filmmaker made it his mission to top Taiwanese-born Ang Lee 's martial-arts game changer . The surprise was not so much that Zhang Yimou applied his visual bravura to a movie of beguiling extravagance , but that he did so in service of a Qin-dynasty saga that played like a metaphorical endorsement of centralized political authority . Marquee names Jet Li and Donnie Yen promise fist-pummeling action , yet Zhang 's refined sensibility instead offers a dance-influenced take on combat that is all flowing robes , swathes of primary color and essentially choreographic displays of menace . Hero is utterly entrancing , if clearly the product of extensive digital postproduction , and though the overlapping perspectives of rival assassins maneuvering against an all-powerful monarch precludes any genuine emotional through line , the film certainly delivers an eye-popping showcase for China 's exquisite traditional crafts and majestic landscapes . -- Trevor Johnston Best quote : " Supercops in Hong Kong are cheap and plentiful , like commodities in supermarkets . " The killer scene : That 's actually Jackie himself , swinging from a helicopter 's rope ladder high above the skyline of Kuala Lumpur . Stuff it , SupermanBuster Keaton and Harold Lloyd both tempted fate with insane stunts , but Jackie Chan eclipsed them both -- this film is the peak example of an entertainer defying safety for the public 's enjoyment . ( Not for nothing has Quentin Tarantino calledSupercop 's acts of daredevilry " the greatest stunts ever filmed in any movie , ever . " ) The generic plot is just there to get things in motion : a fearless cop , a drug lord , a hapless girlfriend , a much-tougher female sidekick . But once the chase sequences kick in , there 's no going back to what passes for action in Hollywood ; this is a movie that raises the stakes to an impossible standard . Chan scrambles up walls , stumbles down hillsides and flings himself onto a helicopter 's trailing rope ladder for the ride of his life . Just as impressively , Michelle Yeoh does a running leap onto a motorbike and burns her way through traffic in hot pursuit , eventually racing alongside a train and Evel Knieveling on top . Staggering stuff . -- Joshua Rothkopf Best quote : ' Oh , I think we 'd like God on our side at the moment , do n't you ? ' The killer scene : Cop cars , a Humvee and a yellow Ferrari fly through San Francisco in an homage to Bullittthat might be the best car chase since Steve McQueen floored it through the same streets . Hard timesDid you know Michael Bay has two whole movies in the Criterion Collection ? One of them , inexplicably , is Armageddon . The other , more sensibly , is this breakneck classic . Nicolas Cage , making his first go as a blockbuster-level star , is an FBI scientist teaming with Sean Connery 's criminal escape artist to break into Alcatraz and stop a hostage situation involving a gang of rogue Marines . Much of the film 's success is owed to the two leads : Connery is ever dapper , while Cage tamps down his eccentricities to play a relatable , borderline nerdy type of action hero . But do n't discount Bay . Only two movies into his career , he throws out everything in his arsenal , from explosions to shootouts to that car chase , and keeps it coming until the noise drowns out the absurdity of the plot -- a trait that would eventually grow grating , but here creates an exhilarating sturm und drang . Best quote : " My dear girl , do n't flatter yourself . What I did this evening was for Queen and country . " The killer scene : An underwater fight between Bond and the baddies Water story This was the first Bond movie seriously to concentrate on gadgets and gizmos as a key part of the 007 furniture -- although in hindsight , there 's still something quaint about the whole affair , especially since the pre-credits sequence involves nothing more hi-tech than a funeral and a rumble with a cross-dressing assassin in a drawing room . Soon , though , Bond is launching himself out of trouble with the help of a jet pack and we 're plunged into the first of several underwater scenes , as SPECTRE hides some stolen nuclear missiles in the seas off the Bahamas . These subaquatic adventures are the film 's trademark , and Thunderball climaxes with Bond in a perilous battle with a couple of stooges in the tropical deep . The film 's release continued to prove Bond 's worth at the box office , although there were grumbles about both the long underwater scenes ( ' Look ! We can film underwater ! Look ! ' ) and the two-hour-plus running time -- the latter becoming a tradition that most Bond films continue to this day . -- Dave Calhoun The killer scene : Robert De Niro 's mysterious ex-agent does n't like the looks of one colleague -- so he hammers into him with questions and , unexpectedly , a cup of coffee . Who said theCold Warwas done ? A movie for action fans who like a little gab with their gunplay , John Frankenheimer 's supercharged spy thriller strongly bears the mark of its script doctor , David Mamet ( writing under the pseudonym Richard Weisz ) . A bunch of ex-operatives gather at a French warehouse for a job -- for a while , they drop science in that Confucius -- like way that Mamet fans love . " Whenever there 's any doubt , thereisno doubt , " says one of them , sagely . " That 's the first thing they teach you . " And who taught him that ? " I do n't remember . That 's the second thing they teach you . " IfRoninwere entirely a conversation piece in this mode , it would have no place on our list . The movie is best remembered for a pair of high-speed car chases , staged with maximum realism through the streets and tunnels of Nice and Paris . Frankenheimer , a gearhead since 1966'sGrand Prixand earlier , turns the squeals of high-performance Audis and Benzes into a symphony . -- Joshua Rothkopf The killer scene : The mine-car chase , a flawless example of the tactile power of pre-CGI practical special effects The reason 70 percent of Americans do n't have passports " A cinematic form of child abuse " wasPeoplemagazine 's verdict on Steven Spielberg 's relentlessRaiders of the Lost Arksequel , an accusation that even the director came close to agreeing with . " It was much too horrific , " he would admit later . Looking back , some aspects of the film remain shocking : The mood is intensely brutal throughout , the treatment of Kate Capshaw 's flapping heroine is tawdry and cruel , and the depiction of India is crass , thoughtless and at times outright racist . But as an action movie , Temple of Doomis hard to beat . Bookended by two hurtling-out-of-control action set pieces -- first in an inflatable life raft sliding down a Himalayan mountainside , then in a runaway mine car -- the film achieves a breakneck intensity topped only byRaidersin the Spielberg canon . The result is n't really for kids ( unless they have a major bloodthirsty streak ) , but for the rest of us , it remains a gruesome guilty pleasure . -- Tom Huddleston The killer scene : An 18-wheeler goes over a bridge , but it does n't fall . Keep on truckin'Yuppies , beware : Jonathan Mostow 's unbearably tense thriller posits middle America as a parched haven for gun-toting rednecks who will kidnap your wife for ransom . Polo-shirt -- clad nice guy Jeff Taylor ( Kurt Russell ) experiences just that after his Jeep breaks down in the desert and his spouse ( Kathleen Quinlan ) vanishes with too-eager-to-assist trucker " Red " Barr ( J.T. Walsh ) . Taylor 's suspicions that something nefarious is up prove true when Barr and his crew track him down and demand a hefty payoff . But the tables quickly turn . Boasting some of the best vehicular carnage since Steven Spielberg 's Duel ( the literally cliff-hanging finale will have your heart in your throat ) , Breakdown also features a quintessential everyman performance from Russell ( an all-American counterpoint to his eye-patch-sporting loner Snake Plissken from Escape from New York ) and a truly chilling one from the late , great Walsh , who gives new meaning to the term " quiet menace . " -- Keith Uhlich A he-man opera so virile , viewers might get pregnantSayingFull Contactwas the first movie to utilize the now-overused bullet cam is a bit like saying that Jesus made some really nice chairs -- it kind of misses the point . The Aerosmith of action movies , Full Contactis as iconically all-American as muscle cars and machine guns . Chow Yun Fat plays Jeff , a bouncer who falls in with a trio of fabulous psychopaths led by the amazing Judge ( Simon Yam ) , who pulls a double cross and leaves him for dead . Nope . Next stop : high-caliber revenge . Imagine Clint Eastwood 's Man with No Name character versus meth-addled versions of Christopher Nolan 's Joker , Bane and Catwoman , slather the whole thing in feedback ; fill it with gun fu ; then knock it back like a shot of Jack Daniels . -- Grady Hendrix The killer scene : James Coburn 's knife-slinging cowboy gets called out by a cocky gunman -- guess who prevails in the showdown ? Japanese import , retooledMaking movies can be an international conversation spanning cultural differences and economic divides . Was Akira Kurosawa was the most important director of Westerns to never actually make a Western ? His 1961Yojimbowould go on to directly inspire Sergio Leone'sA Fistful of Dollars ( and launch Clint Eastwood 's entire movie career ) . Meanwhile , Kurosawa'sSeven Samurai , an instant classic upon its 1954 release , was quickly the subject of a Hollywood remake -- and the result was this rousing horse opera , loaded with star appeal and panache . A Mexican farming town suffers regular fleecing of its crop by evil bandito Calvera ( Eli Wallach , persuasive despite being a Jewish actor from Brooklyn ) . Enter seven men , hired by the desperate community to make their last stand . All action fans have their favorite of the seven , but recognition should be given to the eighth magnificent guy off camera : composer Elmer Bernstein , whose galloping theme music entered the public consciousness in a deeper way than anything onscreen . -- Joshua Rothkopf The world is hisFresh off the boat from Cuba , Tony Montana ( Al Pacino ) is already raising hell , talking down to immigration agents and raring to climb the ladder of the land of opportunity . Miami , he says to his best bud Manny ( Steven Bauer ) , is " like a great big pussy just waiting to get fucked . " But Tony wants the world , and director Brian De Palma and screenwriter Oliver Stone are happy to give it to him ( for a price ) in their unapologetically violent remake of Howard Hawks 's 1932 crime film . In turn , the ' 83 Scarface became an iconic touchstone for hip-hop culture excess . Everything is as over-the-top as the foot-high mound of cocaine that a never-crazier Pacino dips his head into . De Palma orchestrates all the carnage like a master composer : a tense , chain-saw-wielding set piece in a bathroom ; a botched assassination in a nightclub ; and an absolutely certifiable climax in which Tony takes on a gaggle of hit men with a grenade launcher. -- Keith Uhlich The killer scene : Michelle Yeoh battles an office of malicious tax preparers , all with a googly eye stuck to her forehead . Across the multiverseTrue to its title , Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert 's ( aka ' The Daniels ' ) second feature is many things at once : a multiversal sci-fi mind-bender , a moving family drama , an absurdist comedy . But you do n't cast Michelle Yeoh if you do n't also intend for it to kick ass . And that it does , albeit strangely : as mentioned above , this is a movie whose most iconic moment involves Yeoh -- mild-mannered immigrant laundromat owner turned interdimensional martial arts avenger -- tearing up a tax office with a googly eye pressed to her forehead . There are also fights involving fanny packs . And dildos . And a butt plug . It 's wilfully weird and silly , sure , but the scenes are executed with as much breathless energy as anything Yeoh did back in Hong Kong . They 'll still leave your head-spinning -- and your own eyes looking a bit googly . Best quote : " I know people call you the Ice , but do you have to be so coldhearted ? " The killer scene : A shoot-out in a shopping mall at closing time becomes an exercise in modernist abstraction In the line of fireOnly genre maestro Johnnie To would have the confidence to tackle a project that dispenses with the high-octanecarnage de rigueurfor a Hong Kong crime movie , turning it instead into a serene exercise in self-referential cool . After a crime boss survives a hit , he pays the five baddest henchmen around town to form a team to protect him and find the would-be killer -- a plot so ordinary it 's hardly worth spending time on . So To does n't bother . Rather , he lays out a fresco of paranoia as the gun-wielding quintet keep up their individual and collective guard while waiting for the next ambush . And when the action does come , To applies the same Melville-meets-Antonioni mood of studied anomie to the exchanges of fire , turning anticipated set-piece shoot-outs into deconstructed fragments of grace and danger . It 's an action movie about action movies , and all the more fascinating for it . -- Trevor Johnston Best quote : " Why do I want to be a real person when I 'm already a myth ? " The killer scene : Machete bolts a machine gun to the front of his chopper before laying waste to a bunch of scumbags . LifehacksThe fakeMachetetrailer was a rousing start to the Robert Rodriguez -- Quentin **26;4268;TOOLONG , giving us the glorious sight of menacing character actor Danny Trejo upgraded to leading-man status as the titular ass-kicking vigilante . Several of the best bits make it into this feature-length expansion . But it 's mostly a grind : Tons of new narrative deadweight ( self-satisfied references to the current immigration debate ; a listless Lindsay Lohan as a habit-clad avenger ) dilute the thrill of the film 's cheerily exploitative high points . But Trejo brings both playfulness and gravitas to the archly juvenile proceedings , even as co-director-cowriter Rodriguez treats him like a cutaway sight gag whenever things bog down . -- Keith Uhlich The killer scene : A fight on a tower turns into combat on the heads and shoulders of the spectators . All you need is MomSome action movies are super serious orgies of violence , butThe Legenddoes a charming tap dance on their heads . Jet Li plays Fong , a young martial artist who loves showing off and chasing girls . When wealthy Tiger Lu holds a tournament wherein whoever beats his wife in combat gets to marry his daughter , Fong loses -- but his mother ( played by 46-year-old comedian Josephine Siao Fong-fong ) refuses to let family honor die . So she disguises herself as Fong 's brother and winds up not only winning the contest , but also the heart of her opponent , Mrs. Tiger Lu herself . A gender-swapping head-spinner , The Legendoverflows with breezy invention ; it 's the kind of movie where things get so complicated that the only way to sort it all out is for an adult to show up on horseback , swinging her sword and settling everybody 's hash. -- Grady Hendrix The killer scene : Tom Hiddleston 's deranged demigod Loki is battered into a fine paste by the Hulk , producing the quote above . The real A-TeamIt seems almost quaint now , 12 years and approximately 9,300 universe-expanding movies and TV shows later , but in 2012 , the very idea of Iron Man , Thor , Captain America et al sharing the same screen for a full feature seemed utterly mind-blowing . If it had fallen flat , the multiplex -- and really , mainstream entertainment in general -- would have looked very different over the past decade . Begrudging credit due , then , to writer-director Joss Whedon : he may have later been outed as a supervillain of sorts , but he delivered here . Given everything that 's happened in the MCU since , the plotting matters very little now , but Whedon seemed to realise that even then , and instead gives the fanboys everything they could possibly want : snappy , wisecracking dialogue ; big , explosive , heart-racing action sequences ; and plenty of ' holy crap , this is actually happening ! ' moments . Most notably the classic wrap-around shot showing the gang fully assembled for the first time . It established the template for every major superhero flick that followed . While the sequels got bigger , louder and more ' epic ' , none were as singularly pleasurable . -- Matthew Singer Come back , Shane ! For a while , it looked as though screenwriter Shane Black 's career was over . He 'd stormed into the big leagues withLethal WeaponandThe Last Boy Scout , but thenThe Last Action Herowas a flop , this rip-roaring revenge thriller did disappointing business , and his directorial debut , the wonderfulKiss Kiss Bang Bang , sank without trace . Seven years of inactivity followed , before a genius at Marvel had the guts to put him in charge of Iron Man 3 . It should never have taken so long : One viewing ofThe Long Kiss Goodnightis enough to prove that Black is one of the finest Hollywood writers of the past few decades , combining straight-up action thrills with insightful , memorable characters and more witty rejoinders than you can shake a Glock at . The plot here -- Geena Davis 's amnesiac housewife discovers that she used to be a CIA assassin -- may be hokey , but when the one-liners are this perfect , it matters not . -- Tom Huddleston Best quote : " I believe in a powerful religion . The name of my god is money . " The killer scene : Jackie leaps from a high cave mouth ( actually an airplane ) , landing on a hot-air balloon rising hundreds of feet in the sky . None of it is done with computers . Indiana Chan and the Temple of BoomThis mid- ' 80s smash for Jackie Chan -- his highest-grossing movie up to then -- should be remembered for many things : its euphoric fight scenes , the playful way it has with lit sticks of dynamite , the successful transplantation of Harrison Ford 's **30;4296;TOOLONG to a foreign idiom . But among action cognoscenti , Armour of Godis known for one thing , a terrible mishap that nearly killed its star . Skipping from a building 's ledge onto a nearby tree , Chan snapped the branch and fell 15 feet , landing on his head and cracking his skull . ( In true Chan style , you can see the actual accident in the end-credit outtakes , a gimmick he picked up fromThe Cannonball Run . ) Miraculously , Chan survived , even though he 's still got a hole in his head . It did n't prevent him from pushing his limits further . -- Joshua Rothkopf The killer scene : Break out the chariots for a Coliseum showdown that gives Ben-Hur a run for its shekels . Slaving away at spectacle Exactly the kind of big , fat hit that Hollywood was invented to make , Gladiator brought out the best in everyone . Star Russell Crowe pounded hard on the screenwriters for revisions ; his vengeful performance as Maximus , the officer turned slave turned inspiration to hoi polloi , cemented his stardom as a thinking man 's action hero , long before any phones were flung . Across the moral divide , Joaquin Phoenix offered up the first real hint of his mastery as the vicious Commodus , power-mad and cackling his way to an imperious thumbs-up . But most of all , director Ridley Scott rose to the occasion , reminding us of the grandeur he had n't attained since Blade Runner . ( Those digital tigers and flaming arrows did n't hurt . ) The so-called " Gladiator effect " turned audiences onto Roman history in droves , but mainly it fired up their bloodlust , just like an action classic should . -- Joshua Rothkopf Battle royaleBatshitdoes n't even begin to describe Philip G. Atwell 's seriously entertaining meld of the cop movie and the martial-arts drama . The log line is simple enough : FBI agent John Crawford ( Jason Statham ) is out for revenge against the infamous assassin known only as Rogue ( Jet Li ) , who killed his partner many years before . But all is not as it seems , and the narrative surprises keep coming with the same fast-and-furious momentum with which Lee and Statham take down anyone in their way . It 's always a pleasure to watch the granite-faced Statham plow through a series of interchangeable henchmen , though he slowly becomes second fiddle to the ever-limber Li , for reasons we would n't dream of spoiling . The action scenes -- shot byTakenhelmer Pierre Morel and dreamt up by ace choreographer Corey Yuen -- are a consistent delight , especially Rogue 's epic sword fight in a yakuza-owned auto shop , during which he reduces anything made of plateglass ( and there 's a lot of it ) to rubble . -- Keith Uhlich Best quote : " When I was little , my father was famous . He was the greatest samurai in the empire , and he was the shogun 's decapitator . " The killer scene : Three women demonstrate their ninja-carving skills . The ultimate father-son bonding experienceWhen Daigoro is a year old , his father , Ogami Itto , gives him a choice : the ball or the sword . Framed for treason , Ogami must flee -- and if Daigoro goes for the ball , his parent will murder him . If the boy goes for the sword , though , he 'll be taken along on a mission of vengeance . Daigoro chooses the sword and so Ogami pushes him around Japan in a heavily armed baby carriage , trying to clear the family name . Foreheads are sliced open , breasts are sliced open , faces are sliced open , walls gush blood , stomachs gush blood , and chests spray blood with the force of a fire hose . But that 's the point : The world is a nightmare of violence and all we can do is try to protect our children from it . We usually fail . A black-metal samurai film ( one that heavily influenced the Wu-Tang Clan 's RZA , who sampled it extensively on 1995'sLiquid Swords ) , this only ends when the final high-pressure blood spray coats the camera in an impenetrable layer of dripping gore . -- Grady Hendrix The killer scene : The car chase , during which Alfonso Arau 's smirking drug trafficker takes our heroes on a tour of his remote village ( " My father planted that tree ! " ) The birds , the bees and the bulletsNot content with simply riffing onRaiders of the Lost Ark 's popular style of popcorn adventure , Robert Zemeckis took inspiration from another classic Hollywood source , the screwball comedy , for this likable South American romp . Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas are perfectly matched as the city girl and the roughneck adventurer on the trail of a lost emerald in the Colombian jungle , while Danny DeVito adds welcome comedy value as a sleazy criminal klutz . In comparison with other ' 80s genre favorites ( including Zemeckis 's next film , Back to the Future ) , Romancing the Stonedoes look rather low-rent -- the sneering Colombian villain 's much-touted " private army " seems to consist of about five sweaty extras in moth-eaten fatigues . But where the film scores is in its witty treatment of the gender struggle between Turner and Douglas : At the film 's climax , Kathy dispatches the bad guy single-handedly while poor Mike is stuck halfway up a wall . -- Tom Huddleston Best quote : " Ever seen parents eating the flesh of their own children ? With your Coke and hamburgers , you would n't know ! " The killer scene : A Mexican standoff that will break your heart Korean tensions get the Bruckheimer treatmentThe movie that kicked off Korea 's current cinematic renaissance , Shirismashed box-office records , becoming a bona fide cultural phenomenon . Two South Korean special agents are seriously out-classed when a team of do-or-die North Korean commandos ( led byOldboy 's Choi Min-sik ) hops the border , planning to blow up a North -- South Korean soccer game designed to better international relations . The action is Michael Bay 101 , butShiriwas the first film in which North Koreans were depicted as actual human beings who suffered -- not simply Commie baby-eaters from hell . South Korea 's national genre is the melodrama , so it makes sense that there 's an explosive core of weaponized heartbreak at the center of this movie , which ends with the most iconic shot in Korean cinema : a North Korean and a South Korean aiming their guns at each other , neither of them wanting to pull the trigger , both of them having no choice . -- Grady Hendrix " I 'll never doubt you , " says Ricardo Tubbs ( Jamie Foxx ) to his partner , Sonny Crockett ( Colin Farrell ) , in Michael Mann 's moody and mesmerizing police procedural , a true love letter to men of action . It 's an adaptation of the iconic 1980s series on which Mann served as executive producer , and strikes off in boldly different ways from the Armani blazers and eye-searing pastels of its predecessor . Photographed on pore-enhancing digital cameras that lend a strikingly antiseptic sheen to daylight scenes and a gorgeously pixelated humidity to night shots , the film follows Crockett and Tubbs as they attempt to infiltrate the empire of South American drug lord Montoya ( Luis Tosar ) . Crockett seduces the bad guy 's moll , Isabella ( a shrewd and sensuous Gong Li ) , and both cops draw the ire of Montoya 's second-in-command ( John Ortiz ) . Mann certainly puts Crockett and Tubbs through their paces : Best in show is a close-quarters standoff between the duo and some white-supremacist underlings in a mobile home , culminating in one of the most cathartic gunshots in cinema history . -- Keith Uhlich The killer scene : A nightclub robbery that 's excessive even by John Woo standards Brotherhood of painViolence is relentless -- and certainly not pretty -- in this epic of curdled brotherhood released between Woo 's better-knownThe KillerandHard Boiled . As three childhood friends segue from the mean streets of 1967 Hong Kong to the moral chaos of war-torn Vietnam , the mood of the gunplay changes , its previous flamboyance now anguished , almost appalled . The director 's penchant for bromance is more central than usual : Jacky Cheung risks life and limb to pay for best pal Tony Leung 's Hong Kong wedding , yet when they and wingman Waise Lee quit town for lawless Saigon , the latter 's increasing lust for stolen gold turns the trio 's seemingly undying affections into burning hatred . Woo gives usDays of Being Wild , The Deer HunterandThe Treasure of the Sierra Madreall in one movie -- a deliriously sincere , operatic magnum opus with a fierce passion unlike anything else in his filmography ( or anyone else 's ) . -- Trevor Johnston Tripping tigers , hidden ninjaThe directorial debut as fever dream : Action choreographer Ching Siu-tung ( Shaolin Soccer , Hero ) spent 11 years working on other people 's action movies so this is the explosive release of all his ideas that were too crazy for those films . Once every decade , China 's best martial artists take on Japan 's to see which country will rule the martial-arts world . This year , two of the challengers discover a conspiracy to rig the competition and also ... ninjas ! Kite-riding ninjas , giant ninjas made up of tiny ninjas , burrowing ninjas , red-wigged teleporting demon ninjas , sword-pogo ninjas , ninjas that jump out of other ninjas when they get split in half . Psychedelic visions torn straight out of Ching 's subconscious and dripping with id juice . No death is final until a head is severed , then flies through the air , gets impaled on a tree branch , utters a threat ( " You ca n't kill us all ! " ) and explodes . -- Grady Hendrix Best quote : " You wan na pick your nose in this truck , you better clear it with me first . " The killer scene : The rickety bridge sequence is the most intense , relentless and , according its director , difficult scene he ever shot . Bridge over troubled waterNo major stars , no women , one of the most misleading titles in film history and a certain audience-grabbing summer blockbuster to contend with ( see No. 67 ) : It 's no surprise William Friedkin 's mud-spattered remake of trucking-with-dynamite classic The Wages of Fear did n't exactly set the box office alight . That title , by the way , refers partly to the concept of fate -- the unknowable , magical element that no human being can control , and which inevitably gets us in the end -- and partly to the name scrawled on the side of one of two trucks tasked with shipping a load of dynamite through the Amazon jungle to the site of a raging oil fire . Like the original , this is n't so much a pedal-to-the-metal thrill ride and more a master class in slow , mounting tension : Gears grind , wheels spin , brakes fail , bridges collapse , tropical rain thunders , and the drivers ( and their incendiary cargo ) sweat , quiver and threaten to explode at any minute . -- Tom Huddleston |

The 54-year-old graced the stage hand-in-hand with President-elect Trump , 78 , before he praised his ' beautiful wife ' for her dedication and for ' working very hard to help people ' in his victory speech . The former First Lady is likely on her way back to the White House as Donald Trump hailed a new ' golden age of America ' - during which she is expected to be by his side , after four years of avoiding the spotlight and her husband 's numerous scandals .

Melania responded with both hands held out palms-up and there was a familiarly awkward-looking moment before the couple docked .

Multiple sources confirmed to the newspaper that she had made the comparison to Ramo Verde Prison , where L ? pez was reportedly tortured as he was imprisoned on allegedly politically motivated charges . Her then-spokesperson Stephanie Grisham denied she had made the comments , firing back that the First Lady had offered only ' words of encouragement and strength ' and that she loved living in the White House .

She stayed off the campaign trail almost entirely , and maintained her background role after an attempt on his life in Pennsylvania in July - issuing a written statement after the shooting calling for an end to political violence . ' When I watched that violent bullet strike my husband , Donald , I realized my life , and Barron 's life , where on the brink of devastating change , ' she wrote , describing Trump as ' the generous and caring man who I have been with through the best of times and the worst of times ' .

It took five months for the then-First Lady to move in after Donald Trump was inaugurated But by and large , the former - and likely soon-to-be - First Lady has evaded the limelight and spent her time building her own business empire , away from that of her husband 's . In fact , locals in Palm Beach told the Washington Post last year they had barely seen her at all in the years after the first Trump presidency . ' She used to come in , but no one has seen her in years , ' one salesperson at a Salvatore Ferragamo shoe store said . Her new memoir , Melania , reveals a desire to be a fully @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ married to Donald Trump . The book - hailed by the ex-POTUS as ' the number one best selling book in the country ' in his victory speech - sees her assert : ' I firmly believe in maintaining control over one 's own life , regardless of who you marry . ' Financial disclosures reported by DailyMail.com show how she has raked in six-figure sums for appearing at Republican events in the years after she vacated the White House , and even sold a hat she wore on a French state visit for $170,000 . While sales of her memoir will continue to fuel her financial independence , the book failed to shed light on her relationship with her husband , refuelling an already years-old blaze of speculation as to whether her marriage to Donald is a happy one . One of the most revealing passages read : ' I took pleasure in cooking for him , supporting him in his daily routines , and maintaining a beautiful home . ' It was my priority to safeguard his welfare , meticulously attending to every @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' occasional political disagreements between me and my husband ' are ' part of our relationship ' , but that those spats are settled behind closed doors . The book was not exactly insightful , save for the revelation that , counter to traditional Republican values , she was pro-choice on abortion rights - a clearer stance than that of her husband , who has wavered on the issue for years . But friends say she 'll go beyond the apparent indecision that stopped her from moving into the White House for five months after the 2016 election and simply opt out of moving in at all . ' She definitely wo n't be going back to Washington to live , ' a source told People this week . ' She 'll stay between Florida and NYC . This is not what she signed up for . ' |

The Premier League has seen some of the best talent from all over the world since its establishment in 1992 , but it is the players that are capable of scoring goal after goal on the biggest of stages that capture spectators ' imagination . As the most successful club in English football , Liverpool have had their fair share of immense goal-getters -- whether that be prolific poachers or aerial artists -- who have played a huge part in the Merseyside club achieving this title . From Mohamed Salah to Kenny Dalglish , Anfield has been home to some immense attacking talent over the years , with their forward line being one to be feared for quite some time . We have looked at the top 20 Premier League goalscorers of all time , with five Liverpool players making it onto the list . Now , it 's time to look at who is the best in the club 's history , with many players on this list winning almost everything available to them , and most going down as club legends . Highest Scoring @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1 . Ian Rush 339 2 . Roger Hunt 263 3 . Gordon Hodgson 241 4 . Billy Liddell 228 5 . Mohamed Salah 219 6 . Steven Gerrard 186 7 . Robbie Fowler 183 8 . Kenny Dalglish 172 9 . Michael Owen 158 Leaving Liverpool for Real Madrid aged just 24 , it is rather remarkable that Owen even features on this list - with his goal record speaking volumes of just how good of a player he really was . The Chester-born striker burst onto the scene for the Reds in the late 1990s aged 17 and went on to become their top goalscorer every year between 1997 and 2004 , whilst also becoming only the fourth Englishman to win the Ballon D'or - doing so in 2001 . However , after netting 158 times across eight seasons , Owen left his boyhood club to join the Galacticos , but persistent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expectations he set at Liverpool . A move to Manchester United towards the end of his career meant his reputation on Merseyside is slightly tarnished - particularly as he went on to win the Premier League title with them in 2011. One man whose reputation is far from tarnished at Anfield is ' King Kenny ' , with the Scotsman one of the greatest Liverpool players in the club 's history and having a stand named after him . After scoring just seven minutes into his league debut in 1977 , Dalglish never looked back and he went on to net a total of 172 times in 515 appearances . Dalglish endeared himself to the Kop with his ability to create something out of nothing and his unpredictability made him near-impossible to mark - something evident from his goal return . Retiring at Liverpool with eight League titles , three European Cups , four League Cups , two FA Cups , one UEFA Super Cup and seven Community Shields , Dalglish won it all and left behind a legacy like no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ With the nickname ' God ' due to his goalscoring exploits , it is no surprise that Fowler makes this list . Averaging a goal every other game during his 369 appearances , the boyhood Evertonian is one of the most iconic marksmen in Liverpool history , and also one of the most instinctive goal-poachers the Premier League has seen . Fowler needed very little time and space to be able to unleash a shot at goal , with the Toxteth-born striker the second-highest Premier League goalscorer for the Reds since the establishment of the Premier League in 1992 . As well as this , he also had the record for the fastest hattrick , as he scored three times in just four minutes and 33 seconds - a record beaten by Sadio Man ? in 2015 , as he netted three in less than three minutes . Captain . Leader . Legend . Steven Gerrard is the epitome of Liverpool Football Club . The scouser will go down as one of football 's most complete players , with the midfielder @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and be a reliable source of goals - ones that make a highlight reel to revel in . With 186 goals and 145 assists - most of which for Fernando Torres or Luis Su ? rez - in 710 appearances for the Reds , the midfielder left behind a legacy like no other and is one of the most influential midfielders in Premier League history . He won almost everything available to him during his career - including Footballer of the Year in 2009 - although the only trophy that escaped him was the Premier League title , a piece of silverware that his talent deserved . The only current player to feature on this list , Salah is well on his way of moving up the goalscoring rankings - although the Egyptian would need to stick around a little while longer if he is to do so . Unlike the majority of players on this list , the 32-year-old is a winger rather than a centre-forward , although his return of 219 goals proves that he is just as clinical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to reach the 200 goal mark and , even if he departs in the summer as he has entered the final year of his contract , will be remembered for his astonishing consistency in front of goal and has firmly put himself in the debate for one of the best players to wear the red shirt . Liddell signed for the Reds in 1938 for ? 200 - which equates to around ? 11,200 in the present day - and with his 228 goal return , he proved to be an absolute bargain . A speedy winger , Liddell was equally good with both feet and would leave fans in awe with his trademark runs down the left-hand side , but he had the end product to match . With a shot like a cannonball - even breaking a goalkeeper 's wrist with one of his penalties - it is no surprise Liddell is the fourth highest-scoring Liverpool player of all time and , with 228 in 534 appearances , he goes down as one of the most prolific players in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 241 goals In third place is Hodgson , the player with the best games-to-goal ratio in Liverpool history , after racking up 241 goals in 377 appearances - an average of one every 1.56 appearances . The Johannesburg-born striker first arrived in England as a 19-year-old and spent 11 years at the club between 1925 and 1936 , with Hodgson leaving as on of the Football League 's greatest-ever goalscorers . Not only is he a Liverpool legend , but he was also an impressive cricketer and played for Lancashire at the same time - a fact that is rather incredible given the fact he is the Reds ' highest scoring league player in their history . Although he is somewhat of a forgotten hero , his astonishing record is one that will remain for quite a while longer . Sir Roger Hunt was the Reds ' top goalscorer in eight consecutive seasons between 1962 and 1969 , breaking the man before him on this list 's record when scoring against Manchester United for his 242nd goal in 1967. 244 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the league , meaning he is still Liverpool 's record league goalscorer - an achievement that seems near-impossible to reach . He won two First Division titles , one Second Division and an FA Cup in his 10-year stint with the club , and he was top of this list for 22 years until the next man on this list eclipsed his tally - and in some style too . Unlike Hodgson , Hunt is a far from forgotten figure at Liverpool and rightly so , with his goalscoring record being etched into the history of the club . . Speaking of records that seem impossible to reach , Rush 's goal tally of 339 is one that surely never gets beaten . Anfield has been home to a long list of superb marksmen , but none more so than ' Rushie ' , who hit the net with unrivalled regularity in his 653 games over two spells with the Reds . Blessed with speed , power and a sharp eye for goal , the Welshman 's all-round @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the league and his talent is unparalleled . During his time with the Reds , he won five League titles , five League Cups , three FA Cups and two European Cups - also taking home Europe 's Footballer of the Year and Golden Boot in 1984 . Not only is he one of the greatest players in his nation 's history , but Rush will go down as one of the best to don the red shirt . |

This season , daring and oh-so-sexy low-cut numbers have burst back onto the red carpet with a vengeance and anyone who 's anyone -- from petite A cups to full-bodied E cups -- is taking the , erm , ' plunge ' .

From the rooftop of the castle where I 'm standing , a panorama of blue-grey turrets stretches into the distance . The effect is like staring into a kaleidoscope . It 's a fairytale sight , the intricate white-painted fronts and curved balconies resembling a collection of adult-sized doll 's houses . The fantasy quickly falls apart , though . Many of the castles further into the complex have only bare concrete facades . In between them , spaces intended for manicured lawns have been reclaimed by wildflowers , some so tall that their petals and fronds stretch up to the first-floor balconies . An eerie silence is broken only by birdsong and the occasional passing car . It is a warm summer day in August 2023 and there is no one here except a bored security guard and Adem Tekg ? z , our tour guide to this bizarre ghost town in the Turkish countryside . Tekg ? z represents the Sarot Group , the developer of this crumbling fantasy land , and his surly demeanour suggests he is not keen to show off their work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ winter , so we stopped construction . We 're preparing to restart next summer , " he says , brushing aside the question of why no work is taking place now . No matter : Tekg ? z appears confident that a lick of paint and reconnecting the electricity to the wires strung between the castles will breathe life back into the project . Adem Tekg ? z of the developer the Sarot Group in the basement of one of the homes where the swimming pool should be . Photograph : Bradley Secker/The Guardian As we inspect the interiors , where wires dangle from bare ceilings , it 's clear that some of the rooms have water damage , presumably from the snow that blankets the surrounding valley each winter . Tekg ? z 's tour also means stumbling across frequent evidence of neglect , including a bloodied bird carcass and what I hope are animal droppings near a concrete cavity in the basement of one castle . In the deserted centre of the complex , one floor of what is supposed to be a shopping mall and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is still to do : piles of abandoned filigree mouldings and unused turrets lie on the concrete . When drone footage of the complex of 732 castles appeared online a few years ago , they quickly became a viral phenomenon : there are dozens of YouTube videos marvelling at the cluster of Disney-like chateaux . Since then , the mystery of whether they will ever be finished has only deepened . The castles were supposed to bring a welcome injection of Gulf money to this part of Turkey . On paper , it was a tempting pitch for prospective purchasers from Kuwait , Saudi Arabia and Bahrain : a luxury development named Burj Al Babas ( a nonsensical mashup of Arabic and Turkish , playing on the name of local hot springs ) . Each castle , when completed , was meant to have its own pipeline to the healing spring waters , feeding private indoor swimming pools . Then there was the location : a lush spot away from the intense 45C heat of Gulf summers , conveniently located between Istanbul and the capital Ankara , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and quiet streets of squat , Ottoman-era wooden houses . Instead , since construction abruptly stopped in 2016 , the project has become a bizarre white elephant . As the scandal has dragged on , it has sparked multiple lawsuits , one attempted suicide , a bitter vendetta between one contractor and the Sarot Group , and even a minor diplomatic incident between Turkey and Kuwait . The castles have become a freakish local tourist attraction , luring influencers to break into the site and film inside . Music videos have been shot there , including one for an Italian dance act featuring a motorbike and plentiful use of fire and red smoke flares . The deserted castles have come to symbolise the financial problems and mismanagement that havedominated Turkey 's construction sector during president Recep Tayyip Erdogan 's two decades in power . Companies with links to the government have cut corners with impunity -- a state of affairs illustrated most dramatically by 2023 's twin earthquakes , inwhich cities were damaged across an area the size of Germany . The castles have also led to a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who see the whole development as an eyesore and those who still hold out hope that the project might be good for local businesses . The only thing the hundreds of angry castle owners , local residents and the Sarot Group can agree on is that the castles are n't going anywhere -- but whether they will ever be completed remains unknown . ' It 's a rich drama , " says Jassim Alfahhad , 55 , a Kuwaiti air force colonel turned management consultant and academic , who heads a group of almost 150 disgruntled clients in Kuwait City , each of whom paid $150,000-$450,000 ( ? 115,000- ? 345,000 ) for their identical castles . " The property owners have suffered for almost a decade . " When we speak by phone , Alfahhad tells me he maintains two homes for his two families and sets of grandchildren ( polygamy is legal in Kuwait ) . One he says was built to resemble a Victorian house , and the other in a more traditional Islamic architectural style . " It really looks like a castle , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " I like historical architecture . " The view from inside one of the castles . Photograph : Bradley Secker/The Guardian Alfahhad had contemplated buying property in Turkey before , but the idea of a holiday home in a castle , or at least something resembling one , was just too good to ignore . After hearing about the project from a friend in the spring of 2015 , he took the Sarot Group up on its offer of a free tour , and found himself enchanted . Where others dismissed them as kitsch , Alfahhad saw in the pointed turrets references to Istanbul 's Galata Tower and the Maiden 's Tower , both of which date back centuries . He remembers studying for a master 's and then a doctorate in Britain , where his weekends were spent touring stately homes and castles across Scotland and Wales . Even though the chateaux were close together , he felt they were perfect for someone like him who longed for the isolation of the temperate Turkish countryside . Back in Kuwait , he visited the Sarot Group 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who helped Alfahhad pick the idea spot on the hillside , one he said would be away from the bustle of the shopping mall and supermarket . His castle cost $290,000 . Alfahhad paid the first of several instalments , and began the wait . " That 's how the tragedy starts , " he says . " The contract stated that by 31 December 2018 the project would be finished and we would be able to receive our villas . Of course , that did not happen . " The contract also stated that any delay to the castles ' delivery date would incur a fine of $2,000 a month , payable to each buyer . Mudurnu is an unlikely location for bold feats of architecture . The townspeople are proud of the 130-year-old wooden clock tower , built in the same style as the Ottoman-era buildings that housed traders travelling the Silk Road . With its population of 5,500 , Mudurnu is the kind of place where residents know their neighbours intimately . Locals here have taken to referring to Burj Al Babas as " the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where people do n't lock their doors . We trust one another , " says Mehmet Cant ? rk , sitting under an awning in the garden of his 200-year-old wooden home . Cant ? rk is a softly spoken , white-haired environmentalist who can name every species of plant in his garden and the surrounding area . Mudurnu , he explains , is a place that 's all about respect for " traditional values , and that means opposing consumerism " . " If I had the power , I would completely destroy the whole thing , " he says of the development . " I would simply grant nature the power to reclaim the entire area . " Cant ? rk first heard about the project in 2011 , when he sat on the local council . Among his concerns are the way the construction clashes with local traditional architecture , the abundant use of concrete , and assorted prejudices about an influx of Gulf visitors not understanding Mudurnu . Then there is his objection to the privatisation of the Babas hot springs underneath the site @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Group acquired the right to extract the spring water from the land , a resource Cant ? rk says should be public . He believes that plenty of others share his views , even if they have been less willing to complain to the local authorities . For the residents of Mudurnu , the project steamrolled from a slideshow to a construction site with an eerie sense of inevitability . He adds ruefully : " When there 's one person who objects , it does n't have a lot of impact on the municipality . " Mudurnu , like much of Turkey , is trying to weather high unemployment and an economic crisis that in recent years has seen Erdogan turn to the Gulf , notably the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia , for a bailout . The country is dotted with a string of failed efforts to attract Gulf money , including an abandoned dinosaur park in Ankara that cost $801m , according to the capital 's mayor , who has criticised his predecessor for greenlighting it . None of this dissuaded former Mudurnu mayor Mehmet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for 80 castles in 2011 . Four years later , an adjacent plot of land was rezoned to become part of Mudurnu , and Ineg ? l gave Sarot permission to build the rest of the732 castles , with half intended for wealthy Gulf buyers and the remainder marketed as timeshares for domestic tourists . He says his motivation was the promise of jobs -- but some also point to Ineg ? l 's relationship with Mehmet Yerdelen and the Sarot Group . Since then , the Sarot Group 's timeshare empire has spread across the verdant hills outside Mudurnu . There 's the Sarot Thermal Park up a winding path on a hillside , which boasts spa facilities , healing pools and treatment rooms . Next door is the Sarot Thermal Palace with its golden rooftop , a cavernous atrium , timeshare hotel rooms and rows of pink plastic cherry blossom trees near swimming pools that when we visit are bustling with visiting families . The hotel 's pillars and mouldings appear to be carved from crimson marble , but a light touch reveals some far cheaper material @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of squat timeshare apartments , the Sarot Thermal Valley Holiday Village . Plastic trees line the corridors of the hotel . Photograph : Bradley Secker/The Guardian One shop owner from Mudurnu cautiously describes how she bought a timeshare there , but was burnt when she bought a second in a nearby valley that was never delivered . This was the Sarot Village -- a group of buildings shaped like giant grey birdhouses , all made entirely from concrete , including the roofing . The unconventional design choice is explained by the Sarot Group 's in-house concrete company , which seemingly churned out every part of the strange buildings around the same time as the castles . Now , their deserted rows are lined with tall grass , making this an ideal setting for a horror film . The shop owner refuses to give her name , saying she was too scared to take legal action at the time , and even now fears reprisals from the Sarot Group or those connected to them . " I feel we were scammed , " she says . The Yerdelen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deep ties to the Saadet party , a conservative Islamist group that splintered from the same parent organisation as Erdogan 's Justice and Development party ( AKP ) . At least two members , including Mehmet Yerdelen , have held local office for the party in Istanbul . The wedding of Yerdelen 's son Enes was attended by an array of stars from Turkey 's conservative Islamist movement , and included a fiery speech from the son of the late prime minister Necmettin Erbakan , godfather of Turkish Islamist politics , and Erdogan 's mentor . Yerdelen insists that the Sarot Group does not " have a political identity " and that purchasers ' fears about reprisals are unfounded . He maintains that approval for the Mudurnu project was granted at a level above Ineg ? l , downplaying the former mayor 's role in approving the project . He also says his friendship with Ineg ? l pre-dates any thoughts of the castles , describing him as " a friend whose only purpose is to serve the people of Mudurnu " .

He says the Sarot Group has done nothing illegal , and defends what he calls his " acquaintance " with Yerdelen . " Politicians and investors are always close , " he says . Even now , the former mayor describes the castles as an economic boon to the town just waiting to happen . " Unhappy people could never properly understand the development , " he says . He claims its detractors will someday be the " first to bring their children to be employed " there . Yerdelen blames Turkey @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with buyers failing to make payments -- a claim contradicted by Alfahhad and his group in Kuwait . He insists the Sarot Group will someday resume building . Mudurnu 's newly elected mayor , Dogan Onurlu , says : " It 's a private company , so we 're not responsible . It would be good to finish the construction . That 's all we 're going to say , " before hanging up the phone . Construction of the castles ran into problems not long after the Sarot Group broke ground in Burj Al Babas . On arriving at the site in 2014 , contractor ? apan Demircan turned whistleblower and filed a complaint with local prosecutors , claiming the construction company was breaching environmental laws by dumping rubble on the pines that cover the hillside . When we meet in the bright conference room at the offices of a local paper near Demircan 's home in Istanbul , he is bursting to talk about what has become a years-long obsession . Demircan has complained persistently to the authorities about the castle project , badgering any official @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government . To hear him tell it , no one was willing to listen . " I was seen as a troublemaker just creating problems out of nothing , " he says . One of the turrets . Photograph : Bradley Secker/The Guardian In February 2015 , a group of workers began to protest over unpaid wages at the construction site . According to local media , one of them climbed to the top of a tower that housed the Sarot Group 's on-site concrete manufacturing facility , threatening to jump to his death if he was n't paid . A photo that ran in many Mudurnu papers shows him gripping the railing on the roof of the building . His death , they said , was ultimately prevented by local firefighters who arrived at the scene . Demircan says he pulled out of the project not long afterwards , citing myriad concerns about how it was run , and by then he says the Sarot Group owed him almost $700,000 in unpaid wages . He describes how , after his initial complaint about environmental violations , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but their legal battles eventually fizzled out . His eventual showdown with Yerdelen took place at the Sarot Group 's offices in Mudurnu , in the summer of 2016 . Demircan says he arrived at the glass-fronted building to see Yerdelen 's sleek black four-wheel-drive parked outside . Demircan tells me he did n't plan on getting violent , but describes a heated exchange with a man he says he recognised as an employee of Sarot , who moved to attack him . Demircan says he hit back , striking the man in the nose and mouth , after which Yerdelen abruptly sped off in his car . ( Yerdelen denies the incident took place , or that Demircan was owed money . ) The former contractor says he received a quarter of his fees , but others were n't so lucky . Demircan says he tracked down Ineg ? l in 2018 , at a street festival in Bolu , the provincial capital . Again , Demircan claims he threw a punch , before security and a local official intervened . Ineg ? l says he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ team . " If he made such an attempt , I did n't notice it , " he says . Demircan says he then drove from the festival to Mudurnu , where he began to patrol in front of Ineg ? l 's house . When the local police got involved , along with the town prosecutor , Demircan abandoned his vendetta and left town . He has n't returned to Mudurnu since , and has dropped his lawsuit alleging environmental damage and other complaints against the company . By late 2016 , it had started to become clear to Alfahhad , the Kuwaiti buyer , that construction work on the castles was n't happening on schedule . The Sarot Group initially blamed the cold winter weather , then the after-effects of a failed military coup , which shook Turkey that July . Cant ? rk and others in Mudurnu began to notice contractors were no longer showing up at the site , and suspected complaints about pay were to blame . As the months wore on , the Kuwaiti buyers began discussing other options . Some attempted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Alfahhad claims some members even attempted tointroduce Yerdelen 's co-director B ? lent Yilmaz to wealthy Kuwaiti investors who offered to take over the project , but that Yilmaz shrugged them off . Yilmaz declined to answer questions , claiming he left the Sarot Group in 2017 , although records show he remained on its board until last year . The Sarot Group entered bankruptcy proceedings in 2018 , with Yerdelen blaming the buyers for not making payments on time . Alfahhad shows me a document from the Sarot Group to prove that he has paid in full , and says Yerdelen 's comments only irked them more . Sure enough , an Istanbul bankruptcy court ruled that the Sarot Group was comfortably in credit in late 2022 . We remain optimistic that this will end soon , but some of the buyers lost loved ones -- they died before this project was finished By this time Alfahhad and his group were despairing of the Turkish judicial system , believing that only diplomatic intervention could save their castles . He began using his connections as a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ministry and setting up a meeting with the Turkish ambassador to Kuwait . He also flew to Ankara several times to meet the Kuwaiti ambassador there , reassured by his pledge to treat the castles " like an emergency " and raise the issue at the highest echelons of the Turkish state . The issue appeared deadlocked until May this year , when the emir of Kuwait , Sheikh Meshal al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah , made a state visit to Ankara . Arriving in sunglasses and sweeping gold-fringed robes to a full military welcome , the emir met Erdogan , and the two leaders were pictured walking down a pale blue carpet to the presidential palace , their hands clasped . It was a welcome development for Alfahhad and the other buyers , who understood that the emir and Erdogan found time to discuss the hundreds of unfinished concrete castles . The Turkish presidency has declined to comment . Whatever took place behind the ornate doors of the presidential palace , the emir 's visit does seem to have turned things around for Burj Al Babas . Or , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ advised the castle owners , it has " pumped some warm blood into this issue " . Now an Istanbul court that examines financial and organised crimes has taken up the case , and is combing through the Sarot Group 's finances , as prosecutors accuse them of defrauding investors and using Burj Al Babas as a front company for suspicious transactions ; Yerdelen says there is no truth to allegations of money laundering . All 14 of the companies run by Yerdelen and the Sarot Group , including those overseeing construction of the castles , have been entrusted to a Turkish state fund partially controlled by Erdogan 's office and intended to rectify the finances of troubled businesses . Sariibrahimoglu points to a puzzle that has hung over the project for years : Yerdelen and the Sarot Group had millions of dollars in sales , more than enough to finish building the castles . Surely it would have been easier just to finish the project rather than endure these years of trouble ? " It really is an odd thing , " he says . " I do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But these things can always be solved at a political level . We are happy now that everything is under the control of the Turkish state . " Others -- like political consultant Selim Sazak -- contend that the trickle-down corruption of the Turkish state under Erdogan is what allowed the castles to be built in the first place . " These people were powerful enough , socially and maybe politically , to get the construction permits they got and to market them to the Gulf , " he says of the Sarot Group . The castles , he adds , are " a monstrosity " , a project that shows how even those with political connections far from the presidential palace " can end up doing something this brazen " . As the court proceedings drag on , the castles remain untouched . The weeds and wildflowers have grown taller , but the project remains frozen in time . Yerdelen says he believes " with all my heart " that his company will one day not only finish building the castles , but throw a grand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his companies as something " temporary " , adding : " We plan to continue construction where we left off . " Alfahhad also believes that he and the other buyers will eventually get their castles on the hillside , but not from the Sarot Group . Then there 's the small matter of the late fees that the Sarot Group owe each buyer , which he says they intend to claim . The company currently owes him almost $150,000 , half of what he paid for his castle ; Yerdelen says buyers should direct their demands about fees to the Turkish state fund . " We remain optimistic that this will end soon -- but of course it wo n't be like receiving one five or six years ago , " says Alfahhad . " Some of the other buyers lost loved ones -- they died before this project was finished . They just wanted to go and sit in their castles . " |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'bowed out of accompanying her husband on official events' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes an action of withdrawing from participation, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Susie Summerall Wiles will be the first woman to hold the position of chief of staff to a US president . In his first term , Trump appointed four chiefs of staff : Reince Priebus , John Kelly , Mick Mulvaney and Mark Meadows . It was the highest number of any one-term president since the role was established under President Truman in the 1940s . Barack Obama also had four chiefs of staff during his two terms , as did Bill Clinton . President Biden appointed two people to the cabinet level-position , Ron Klain and Jeff Zients . 36 minutes ago 11.08pm JD Vance has welcomed the appointment of Susie Wiles as Trump 's chief of staff . " This is great news , " the vice-president-elect wrote on X. " Susie was a huge asset to President Trump on the campaign and will be a huge asset in the White House . She 's also just a really good person . Onward ! " 54 minutes ago 10.50pm " We call her the ice baby , " Trump said about Wiles BRIAN SNYDER/REUTERS Donald Trump has appointed Susie Wiles , his campaign senior adviser , as White House chief of staff . Wiles , 67 , will be the first woman to ever hold the title of White House chief of staff . " Susie is tough , smart , innovative , and is universally admired and respected . Susie will continue to work tirelessly to make America great again , " Trump said in a statement . " It is a well-deserved honour to have Susie as the first-ever female chief of staff in United States history . I have no doubt that she will make our country proud . " Wiles worked in the Reagan administration and has helped to elect dozens of Republicans , including Ron DeSantis , the Florida governor , and Rick Scott , the Florida senator . Just after he won the election on Wednesday morning , Trump said about her : " Susie likes to stay sort of in the back . Let me tell you , the ice baby . We call her the ice baby . " 58 minutes ago 10.46pm Surveys overestimated the importance of abortion to voters and the media misidentified " shy Harris women " who would turn out for her eventually . CNN analysis showed that Harris won women by ten points , compared with Hillary Clinton 's 13-point lead and Biden 's 15 points . Trump made gains with female voters as a whole , as well as with every other big demographic except the over-65s . JL Partners had one of the most accurate projections for the electoral college and was one of very few polling organisations that predicted Trump winning the popular vote . How did they do it ? In one of his first post-election interviews , Trump has said that there is " no price tag " attached to his plan to deport millions of undocumented immigrants . " We have no choice , " Trump told NBC News . " When people have killed and murdered , when drug lords have destroyed countries , and now they 're going to go back to those countries because they 're not staying here . There is no price tag . " Trump has pledged to deport as many as 20 million migrants by invoking the archaic Alien Enemies Act . His dragnet approach , which is favoured by a majority of Americans , would cost $315 billion and shrink the US economy by at least 4.2 per cent , according to a report by the American Immigration Council , a non-partisan Washington DC think tank . 1 hour ago 9.45pm The Handmaid 's Tale , Margaret Atwood 's dystopian novel about the brutal repression of women , has shot up Amazon 's bestseller list in the wake of Donald Trump 's victory . The 1985 novel was at number three on the list on Thursday . " Despair is not an option . It helps no one , " Atwood , 84 , posted on X on Wednesday . Dark futuristic novels such as George Orwell 's 1984 and Ray Bradbury 's Fahrenheit 451 were also in the top 25 bestselling books . All three novels gained renewed popularity during Trump 's first term in office . Melania , Melania Trump 's memoir , is at number one , while Hillbilly Elegy , the memoir of vice-president-elect JD Vance , sits at number eight . 2 hours ago 9.25pm Dave McCormick has defeated Bob Casey , the longest-serving Democrat in Pennsylvania history QUINN GLABICKI/REUTERS The Republicans have flipped yet another Senate seat . Dave McCormick , a 59-year-old businessman , has defeated Bob Casey , a Democrat who had been seeking a fourth term in Pennsylvania , according to the Associated Press . With 99 per cent of the vote counted , McCormick holds a lead of just over 30,000 votes . The result means that Republicans will have at least 53 seats in the Senate . Two races , in New Mexico and Nevada , are still to be called . Casey was the longest-serving Democratic senator in Pennsylvania history . His father , Bob Casey Sr , is a former Pennsylvania governor . 2 hours ago 9.11pm Anthony Scaramucci , Trump 's former communications director , told Times Radio that the president-elect was unlikely to try to deport Prince Harry . Trump has previously said he would consider deporting Harry , 40 , who has been living in Montecito , California , with his wife Meghan and their two young children , if he was found to have lied on official forms . " I know Trump talked about that but deep down he 's a royalist and his mom is from Scotland , I think he has a lot of respect for the royal family , " Scaramucci said . President Biden will not pardon his son Hunter , the White House press secretary has confirmed . Karine Jean-Pierre said that other pardons would be under consideration . The 54-year-old son of the president was convicted in July of three felony charges related to the purchase of a revolver in 2018 . Prosecutors said he lied on a mandatory gun-purchase form by saying he was not illegally using or addicted to drugs . He will be sentenced on December 4 . In September , he pleaded guilty to nine charges , including three felony tax offences and six misdemeanour tax offences . He will be sentenced on those charges on December 16 . 3 hours ago 8.41pm Donald Trump appointed Jerome Powell in 2017 OLIVIER DOULIERY/BLOOMBERG/GETTY IMAGES The chairman of the Federal Reserve has said he will ignore demands to resign if Donald Trump orders it . Jerome Powell pointed out that the president can not legally force him to step aside . He was asked if he would resign if Trump asks him to do so , and replied : " No . " Trump appointed Powell in 2017 , but then criticised him for his monetary policy decisions . Powell 's term expires in May 2026 , and a member of Trump 's team told CNN that Trump would allow Powell to remain in his position . 3 hours ago 8.24pm Rudy Giuliani was ordered to hand over his penthouse and a range of luxury items KENA BETANCUR /REUTERS Rudy Giuliani was in court in Manhattan today to be berated by the judge for failing to hand over property to two women who won damages from him . Giuliani was ordered in December last year to pay $148 million in damages for spreading lies about two Georgia poll workers , Ruby Freeman and her daughter , Wandrea Moss . Giuliani declared bankruptcy , so he was ordered to hand over his $5 million Manhattan penthouse , a Mercedes , two dozen high-end watches , a jersey signed by the famed baseball player Joe DiMaggio , and jewellery . Lawyers for the two women went to the apartment last week and found it empty . " That 's the one piece of property sitting here in Manhattan that ca n't be moved , " said Aaron Nathan , their lawyer . " Everything else has been game playing . " JANE ROSENBERG/REUTERS 3 hours ago 8.15pm Stephen Mull , a veteran diplomat who was US ambassador to Poland and Lithuania , has been appointed by the Biden administration to oversee the transition to the Trump team . Trump 's liaison to the State Department will be Brian Hook , a former Iran special envoy . Matthew Miller , spokesperson for the State Department , said Mull has already begun work . " The peaceful transfer of power is an essential element of our democracy that is vital to our nation 's security , " Miller said . " That 's why it 's so important for us to conduct a smooth , efficient and professional transition process . " 3 hours ago 8.04pm Tom Cotton is viewed as front-runner for secretary of defence JUSTIN SULLIVAN/GETTY IMAGES Donald Trump has told NBC News that he thinks Tom Cotton is " fantastic " , increasing speculation that the Arkansas senator will be part of Trump 's cabinet . Cotton , a former army infantry officer and veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan , was under consideration to be Trump 's defence secretary when he was first elected in 2020 . He is considered one of the front-runners to be secretary of defence in the new administration . Mike Pompeo , a graduate of the military academy West Point -- the US equivalent of Sandhurst -- is another contender . Pompeo was Trump 's CIA director from 2017 to 2018 and secretary of state from 2018 to 2021 . 3 hours ago 7.55pm President Biden " believed that it was the right decision " to drop out of the race , the White House press secretary said at the daily briefing . " The president is very proud of what he was able to accomplish , " Karine Jean-Pierre said . " He was very proud , and when he made that decision to hand over the torch , pass the torch to the vice-president , he believed it was the right decision to make at that time . He believed that she was ready . " Biden has frequently said choosing Kamala Harris as his vice-president was one of the best decisions he has made . 3 hours ago 7.47pm Gavin Newsom , the Democratic governor of California , said he had called a special session of the state legislature to protect its progressive policies in anticipation of significant changes to federal law under Trump . Newsom said additional resources were necessary to " safeguard California values and fundamental rights " on climate change , reproductive rights and immigration . " The freedoms we hold dear in California are under attack -- and we wo n't sit idle , " he said in a statement . Newsom , who has clashed repeatedly with Trump , has made no secret of his ambitions for higher office . 4 hours ago 7.31pm Marc Bennetts President Putin has welcomed Donald Trump 's promises to try and mend relations with Russia and bring an end to the war in Ukraine . In his first comments on Trump 's election victory , Putin congratulated the new US president-elect and said he would be willing to hold talks with him . " What has been said by Trump about a desire to restore relations with Russia and to help end the Ukrainian crisis deserves attention , at the very least , " Putin said today at a forum in Sochi , the Black Sea city . He also said Trump 's had behaved " courageously " and " like a man " in the aftermath of an assassination attempt during a rally in Pennsylvania in July . Putin did not congratulate President Biden in 2020 until more than a month after the election . 4 hours ago 7.20pm Stocks continued to rally into Thursday JOHN ANGELILLO/UPI/ALAMY A surging US stock market just got another boost as the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 0.25 per cent to a new range of 4.5 per cent to 4.75 per cent . The cut was widely anticipated as inflation in the US has continued to cool from its 2022 peak . The timing , coming two days after Trump 's victory , is awkward for the politically neutral Federal Reserve but purely coincidental . On Wednesday , the three major indexes , The Dow , S&P 500 and the Nasdaq , closed at record highs , as the markets were buoyed by Trump 's imminent return to the White House . Stocks continued to rally into Thursday , as investors anticipate lower taxes and deregulation from the incoming Republican administration . 4 hours ago 7.05pm Melania Trump was seen as so inscrutable that her step-daughter Ivanka nicknamed her " The Portrait " . When Trump first took office in 2017 , his wife was memorable for her absence . Compared with the close political alliances within the marriages of the Clintons and the Obamas , that spousal advisory position was , in the Trump hierarchy , supplanted by Ivanka . Melania resisted moving into the White House for months , and frequently bowed out of accompanying her husband on official events . Now , her memoir , Melania , is the No 1 bestselling book in the country . James Carville , right , used to be former senior adviser to Bill Clinton JEMAL COUNTESS/WIREIMAGE/GETTY IMAGES Days before the election , James Carville , the longtime Democratic strategist , wrote an op-ed in The New York Times headlined " Three Reasons I 'm Certain Kamala Harris Will Win " . The former senior adviser to Bill Clinton was among the many party luminaries trying to figure out how it all went horribly wrong after Trump 's decisive election victory . " We had every advantage , but we had the perception of disorder on every kind of level -- foreign policy , border policy , economic policy , " Carville said in a video published on Politicon . " And the hardest thing is that I look across this country , and tens of millions of people fell for this shit , and it 's depressing , " he added . " I 'll snap out of it . But I 'm in a very , very dark tunnel right now . " 5 hours ago 6.40pm Bruno Waterfield , Budapest Sir Keir Starmer has pledged Britain 's " unwavering " support to Ukraine after meeting President Zelensky in the wings of a pan-European summit in Budapest . The bilateral meeting took place amid fears that Donald Trump will abandon Ukraine and sue for peace with Putin , committing Kyiv to neutrality for decades and giving territory seized by Russia since the invasion in 2022 . " As you know , our support for Ukraine is unwavering , " Starmer said . " And I strongly believe that not only should it be unwavering , but we need to step up , and I was very pleased to be able to say that . It 's very important that we see this through . It 's very important that we stand with you . " Zelensky thanked Starmer and criticised unnamed European countries for " strongly " pushing Ukraine to compromise with Russia . " There has been much talk about the need to yield to Putin , to back down , to make some concessions , " he told the summit , hosted by Hungary which is close to Russia . " Hugs with Putin wo n't help . Some have hugged him for 20 years , yet things only worsen . " 5 hours ago 6.35pm Viktor Orban is the European leader who is closest to Donald Trump KEVIN DIETSCH/UPI/ALAMY Bruno Waterfield , Budapest Europe needs to face a " new reality " on support for Ukraine after Donald Trump 's victory on Tuesday , Viktor Orban will tell a dinner of European Union leaders tonight . The Hungarian prime minister is hosting the meal and will kick off an informal discussion on relations with the US , with Ukraine as the " number one issue " . " The world is a different place since this Tuesday . Europe needs to face the new reality , " he said . " Those who want peace are increasing in numbers . " Orban , the European leader who is personally closest to Trump , said that he would call for a ceasefire as a " first step " . " If you talk too much about the situation after the war , it can reduce the chances of a ceasefire , " he said , refusing to discuss whether Ukraine should give up territories that are occupied by Russia . 5 hours ago 6.28pm Willie Brown and Kamala Harris in 1994 Kamala Harris 's former boyfriend and mentor has told Times Radio that the vice-president will bounce back from Tuesday 's election defeat . Willie Brown , the former San Francisco mayor , told John Pienaar that Harris had proven herself to be resilient as she rose from California attorney-general to presidential candidate . " This is a person who is focused on being an elected official and carrying out all the things that she has dreamed of that addresses the needs of people , " Brown said . He added that Harris had relied on bad advice from the Democratic consultants to formulate her message , and ceded the votes of the working class to Donald Trump . " Democrats have always been the advocates for the poor , for the downtrodden , for those who do n't have an equal chance . In this election , we did not pursue that religiously and effectively . " Desi Lydic , hosting The Daily Show on Comedy Central , described the aftermath of election day as a " waking nightmare " . " America elected its first criminal president before electing its first female president . " 5 hours ago 6.03pm Susie Wiles , the Trump campaign co-chairwoman who helped to mastermind his election victory , is the frontrunner to be named as the next White House chief of staff , according to an NBC News report . Wiles , 67 , is Trump 's longtime political strategist and trusted confidante . She worked in the Reagan administration and has helped to elect dozens of Republicans , including Ron DeSantis , the Florida governor , and Rick Scott , the Florida senator . After remaining largely out of sight throughout the campaign , Trump singled out Wiles for special praise in his election night victory speech . The role of chief of staff is often referred to as the toughest job in Washington , being both a gatekeeper to the president and at the centre of every major decision . 5 hours ago 5.50pm Lloyd Austin , the US secretary of defence , has told US military forces that the Pentagon will ensure a " calm , orderly and professional " transition to the incoming Trump administration . In a memo to all departments , Austin wrote that the US military stands ready to carry out the next commander-in-chief 's policy decisions and to " obey all lawful orders from its civilian chain of command " . He added that the US military will " stand apart " from politics and defend the US constitution and the rights of all citizens . During the campaign , Trump said he would be open to using the Insurrection Act to send active troops to quell domestic civil unrest and help law enforcement agencies to carry out mass deportations of undocumented migrants . 5 hours ago 5.45pm Angela Rayner has revealed she has spoken with JD Vance , the vice-president-elect , with the pair agreeing to " build on " the special relationship between the two countries . The UK 's deputy prime minister said she and her future US counterpart " spoke about our plans for the future and how , working together , we build on the special relationship between our great countries " . Rayner responded by saying she did not recognise the comments and said she was " looking forward " to meeting Vance . She has criticised Donald Trump in the past , calling him a " buffoon " who has " no place in the White House " during the pandemic . 6 hours ago 5.38pm Hakeem Jeffries , the Democratic House leader , said that control of the House of Representatives " remains very much in play " . With votes still being counted in 35 House races , Republicans have 209 seats to the Democrats ' 191 in the race to reach a 218 majority . Mike Johnson , the Republican Speaker of the House , is increasingly confident that his party will retain their narrow majority and hand Trump control of all three levers of democratic power in Washington DC after they reclaimed the Senate and the presidency . Mike Johnson , the Republican Speaker of the House , is confident that his party will retain their majority of the House of Representatives MATTHEW HINTON/AP In a statement , Jeffries said : " The path to take back the majority now runs through too-close-to-call pick-up opportunities in Arizona , Oregon and Iowa , " along with several Democratic-leaning districts in California . " We must count every vote , " he said . 6 hours ago 5.16pm Analysis from Damian Whitworth Biden , who entered the White House four years ago promising to restore stability , is leaving it in a state of physical infirmity that forced him from the race . But when he performs like he did today , dignified and presidential , but with the ability to display a light touch , one ca n't help wondering how things would have been if he had been younger and more vigorous at the start of the campaign . He is 81 -- 82 next month . If president-elect Trump is in the Rose Garden making a speech after the next election -- and that could be a big " if " , depending , perhaps , on the political colours of whoever follows him -- he will be 82 , several months older than Biden is now . 6 hours ago 5.12pm Chris Ruddy , Trump 's longtime friend and chief executive of the cable network Newsmax , told Andrew Neil on Times Radio that the president-elect was n't concerned about past critical comments made by David Lammy . Ruddy said that Trump likes the British foreign secretary , and that they had a productive meeting in Trump Tower during UN general assembly week in September . " President Trump likes Britain , " Ruddy said . " I think there 's certain people that probably want to rile him up too , have made an issue of the Labour people coming over , " Ruddy said , referring to the Labour Party sending volunteers to the US to knock on doors for Kamala Harris . " We all know that this happens . Conservative Party people send people over , and this is a common practice . I think what probably got his goat was it 's a sitting Labour government . " 6 hours ago 5.10pm Analysis from Damian Whitworth Biden was keen to use his first remarks to the country since his party 's devastating defeat , to get them to think about something he is laser-focused on : his legacy . The election result was to a great extent a verdict on his presidency . Many people did not feel as well off as they had under Trump . Biden emphasised in his speech that the American economy is strong compared with other leading economies , a message that did not cut through with voters . The election result was , to some degree , a verdict on Biden 's presidency KEVIN LAMARQUEREUTERS He touted his infrastructure bill , almost pleading with Americans to recognise its achievements , saying the effects might not be felt for years , but they would be there . He knows exactly how long he has got left and this wo n't be the last time he tries to talk about his own achievements as the country is consumed by the noise of the arrival of the predecessor who has become his successor . 6 hours ago 4.54pm The eyes of the world might have been on Arizona and Nevada right now . Both take a long time to count their votes and neither state has yet been declared for Donald Trump or Kamala Harris . But none of it matters to the overall result . Trump has already won the other five swing states and is the clear overall winner . He looks set to win Nevada and Arizona too , which would make it 312 electoral college votes to Harris 's 226 , the most decisive win by a Republican since George Bush Sr in 1988 . Trump will also win the popular vote which he did n't manage in victory in 2016 or defeat in 2020 . 6 hours ago 4.50pm President Biden sought to bring the country together in his address to the nation from the White House Rose Garden , telling viewers : " You ca n't love your country only when you win . You ca n't love your neighbour only when you agree . " President Biden at the podium was at his most statesmanlike SUSAN WALSH/AP This was Biden as his most statesmanlike , doing his grandfather of the nation act in which he referenced his granddaughter sitting in the front row , and mentioned things both his parents had said to him . In stressing that he would do everything to ensure his administration worked with Donald Trump to ensure a peaceful transfer of power , he was promising to do something that Trump did not do for him . In his folksy style he urged voters on both sides to see each other as fellow Americans . " Bring down the temperature , " he pleaded . 6 hours ago 4.46pm During the speech , Biden stressed that the investments in infrastructure and manufacturing by his administration were only just beginning to be felt . Joe Biden received a standing ovation from his audience in the Rose Garden of the White House SUSAN WALSH/AP " Much of the work we 've done is already being felt by the American people , " he said . " But the vast majority of it will not be felt -- will be felt over the next ten years . " Democrats Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton have long been in the president-elect 's crosshairs . As have legal figures such as Jack Smith , the special counsel , Alvin Bragg , the Manhattan district attorney , and some of the judges presiding over his criminal cases . 8 hours ago 3.40pm A large anti-Trump protest is scheduled to take place in New York City on Saturday . The " protect our futures " rally will be held at Columbus Circle in Manhattan at midday ( 5pm GMT ) . " It is critical to make clear that New Yorkers will continue to stand together , in community , against the danger to come , " protest organisers said . Since Trump 's victory , sporadic demonstrations have been held in cities across the US including Chicago and Philadelphia . 8 hours ago 3.35pm President Biden is due to address the nation from the White House at 11am ET ( 4pm GMT ) to discuss Trump 's transition into power . It will be his first speech on-camera since Trump 's election victory . After repeatedly characterising Trump as a threat to US democracy during the 2024 campaign , Biden is expected to deliver a call for unity . Trump has accepted his invitation to visit the White House in the next few days to ensure a smooth transition . No date has been set for the meeting yet . 8 hours ago 3.28pm President Macron has warned other European leaders that if Russia wins against Ukraine they will face an expansionist " imperial power " at Europe 's gate . He told a meeting of 42 European leaders in Budapest that the continent faces a " decisive moment " and must shape its own destiny . " We have two blocs , the US on one hand and China on the other . First and foremost they will defend their now interests , " he said , adding that " our role is not to comment " on Trump 's victory . President Macron with Viktor Orban , Hungary 's prime minister FERENC ISZA/AFP/GETTY IMAGES In a reference to Viktor Orban , the Hungarian host 's " pro-peace " stance and others , such as Turkey , who are closer to Russia , Macron said no country on the continent of Europe can allow Putin to win in Ukraine . 8 hours ago 3.20pm History was made on Tuesday night with the election of the first transgender woman to the House of Representatives . Sarah McBride , a 34-year-old state senator , was chosen to represent Delaware . She said on Wednesday night that she was among " beneficiaries of seemingly impossible change becoming a reality " . McBride said that was because " previous generations persevered despite every reason to give up " . She concluded : " As I assume the privilege of serving the state I love in Congress , I pledge my unwavering faith in our continued ability to turn our hope into historic progress -- because it has always been in our country 's most significant challenges that we take our biggest steps forward . " 8 hours ago 3.11pm During his address to European leaders earlier in Budapest , President Zelensky had also praised Trump 's " commitment to the ' peace through strength ' approach in global affairs " . " The concept of ' peace through strength ' has proven its realism and effectiveness more than once . Now , it is needed once more , " Zelensky said . But the Ukrainian leader also appealed to European powers and the US to continue arming his forces in the fight against Russia . " We need sufficient weapons , not just support in talks . Hugs with Putin wo n't help , " the Ukrainian leader said in an apparent reference to pictures showing United Nations chief Antonio Guterres hugging president Vladimir Putin at a summit in Russia . 8 hours ago 3.05pm Vladimir Putin 's spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said that the Kremlin has noted Donald Trump 's words about trying to resolve the Ukraine crisis , even if he exaggerated the speed at which he could do it . Trump has repeatedly said he could settle the war between Russia and Ukraine in one day if he was re-elected president . " If the new administration is going to look for peace , not for the continuation of the war , it will be better in comparison with the previous one , " Peskov told reporters on Thursday . Asked about Kamala Harris 's warning that Putin would eat Trump for lunch , Peskov said with a chuckle : " Putin does not eat people . " 8 hours ago 2.53pm Voters in five states were asked on Tuesday whether they wanted to change their existing drug policies . Marijuana was legalised in Nebraska , but voters in Florida , North and South Dakota chose not to legalise the drug . Arkansas votes have not been counted yet . It is legal in around half of all states -- Colorado legalised it for recreational use in 2014 , becoming the first in the nation to do so . In Massachusetts , psychedelics were legalised . 8 hours ago 2.45pm The French president in Hungary today EPA President Macron has told other European leaders that " our role is not to comment " on Trump 's victory , and warned that if Russia wins against Ukraine they will face an expansionist " imperial power " at Europe 's gate . He told a meeting of 42 leaders , including Sir Keir Starmer , in Budapest that the continent faces a " decisive moment " and must shape its own destiny . " We have two blocs , the US on one hand and China on the other . First and foremost they will defend their now interests . Do we want to read the history written by others ; the wars launched by Vladimir Putin ; the US election , China 's technological or trade choices . Or do we want to write our own history . I think we have the strength to write it . We can not afford to disappear geopolitically . " 9 hours ago 2.20pm Elon Musk was one of Donald Trump 's most enthusiastic supporters RYAN COLLERD/AFP/GETTY IMAGES The ten richest people in the world got $64 billion richer on Wednesday , thanks to Trump 's win -- with his chief cheerleader Elon Musk crowned the biggest winner . Tesla stands to make significant gains under a Trump administration , because Trump will likely end Biden 's subsidies for the EV industry -- harming smaller competitors . Trump 's plans for extensive tariffs on Chinese imports make it less likely that Chinese EVs will be sold in bulk in the US anytime soon . Jeff Bezos , the Amazon founder and owner of The Washington Post , congratulated Trump on Wednesday as he watched his wealth grow by $7.1 billion . Bezos , the week before , defended his paper 's decision not to endorse Kamala Harris -- insisting it was nothing to do with his business interests . Democrat-leaning businessmen also benefitted -- among them the former Microsoft executives Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer , the former Google executives Larry Page and Sergey Brin and Warren Buffett , the Berkshire Hathaway CEO . None of them endorsed a candidate this year . 9 hours ago 2.10pm President Macron beat Sir Keir Starmer in the race to congratulate Donald Trump , according to The Telegraph . Binyamin Netanyahu also spoke to the president-elect before Starmer . Macron spoke to Trump shortly after midday in the US on Wednesday , while Starmer did not get through until 2pm . Trump has remained at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida since his election win , and is co-ordinating his White House transition from there . He will , however , travel to Washington DC to meet President Biden in the coming days for the traditional handover meeting -- a courtesy Trump did not extend to Biden in 2020 . 9 hours ago 2.00pm The president-elect wants to raise money by putting tariffs on more products BRIAN SNYDER/REUTERS " To me , the most beautiful word in the dictionary is ' tariff , ' " said Trump at the Chicago Economic Club in October . " It 's my favorite word . " He wants to impose tariffs on products entering the United States -- which is $3 trillion of goods a year . Companies will have to raise their prices to cover the cost . He wants a 60 per cent tariff on imports from China , and up to 25 per cent on imports from other countries . Trump argues that it will boost American domestic productivity , but economists say countries will impose retaliatory tariffs on American imports , starting a trade war . He wants , for instance , a 200 per cent tariff on cars made in Mexico -- most major car makers have factories in the US but still heavily rely on parts imported from other countries . It wo n't be quick , easy or cheap to bring those industries back to the US , and consumers will pay . 9 hours ago 1.50pm Donald Trump 's victory has dampened hopes of a successful outcome to the Cop29 climate negotiations which start next week . Negotiators from 193 countries are due to meet in Baku in Azerbaijan , with African and Arabic countries set to demand a large increase in global financial support , equivalent to more than $1 trillion a year . When he was last in power Trump withdrew America from the Cop negotiations , and ceased contributions to the UN 's climate fund . He has called climate change a hoax and pledged to dismantle President Biden 's policies for cutting carbon emissions . Jeff Ordower , North America director of the environmental charity 350. org , said : " The next Trump administration will be isolationist and dangerous to climate . But in that darkness , there is some hope that in diminished US power , other nations can step up , and states like California can follow . " 10 hours ago 1.40pm President Zelensky greeted by Hungary 's prime minister today in Budapest FERENC ISZA/AFP/GETTY IMAGES President Zelensky has rejected offering Russia any concessions in Ukraine , following reports that Donald Trump will press Kyiv to concede territory and set up a demilitarised zone . At a summit of European leaders in Hungary , Zelensky suggested these moves would be detrimental to his country and Europe more broadly . " There has been much talk about the need to yield to Putin , to back down , to make some concessions . It 's unacceptable for Ukraine and suicidal for all Europe , " Zelensky said . The Ukrainian leader added that following Trump 's victory : " We do hope that America will become stronger . This is the kind of America that Europe needs . And a strong Europe is what America needs . This is the connection between allies that must be valued and can not be lost . " 10 hours ago 1.25pm If viewing on a mobile device , tap to zoom in 10 hours ago 1.10pm President Pezeshkian said he did not think Donald Trump 's election would have an impact in Tehran IRANIAN PRESIDENCY/ANADOLU/GETTY IMAGES Iran and its proxy groups Hezbollah and Hamas have declared indifference to Donald Trump 's victory in the US election , despite its implications for US foreign policy on the Middle East . President Pezeshkian of Iran downplayed the significance of Trump 's election on Thursday , saying it would have no impact on Tehran 's policy , state media reported . " It makes no difference to us who won the US election , " he said , quoted by the official IRNA news agency , adding that Iran had prioritised " developing relations with Islamic and neighbouring countries " . Hopes have been raised that a change in US administration may promote the chances of a ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon . However Naim Qassem , Hezbollah 's leader , claimed that the vote would have no bearing on the future of the conflict . " We do n't base our expectations for a halt of the aggression on political developments , " he added , echoing similar statements from Hamas . 10 hours ago 12.55pm In the battle for control of the US House of Representatives , 40 races remain too close to call across 15 states on Thursday . Republicans are confident that they will win a majority in the House -- adding it to their presidential and Senate victories -- though the final results could still be days away as ballots are still being counted . Democrats went into election day with hopes of seizing control of the House from Republicans , who held a slim 220-212 majority . As it stands , Democrats need to win 22 of the outstanding districts to take the majority , while Republicans would need to win 12 . Republicans have already flipped six districts , Democrats have flipped two . 11 hours ago 12.30pm President Biden is scheduled to address the nation today for the first time since Trump was confirmed as his successor in the White House . The speech will be at 11am local time in Washington ( 4pm UK time ) . Biden , 81 , last night invited the president-elect , 78 , and his transition team to a meeting at the White House . In his remaining ten weeks in office , Biden is likely to continue to push his foreign policy agenda , but there is a risk other world leaders may perceive him as a lame duck ahead of Trump 's inauguration in January . 11 hours ago 12.15pm The prospect of a second Donald Trump presidency provides a window of opportunity to end Israel 's wars in Gaza and Lebanon , France 's foreign minister said on Thursday . During a visit to Jerusalem , Jean-Noel Barrot said : " I believe a window has opened for putting an end to the tragedy in which Israelis , Palestinians and the entire region have been immersed since October 7 , " referring to last year 's attacks by Hamas . Donald Trump and Binyamin Netanyahu , the Israeli prime minister SEBASTIAN SCHEINER/AP Speaking alongside Israel Katz , the Israeli foreign minister , Barrot cited Trump 's " wish to see the end of the Middle East 's endless wars " as well as Israel 's recent " tactical successes " . Barrot said he hoped a " diplomatic solution " would emerge " in the coming weeks " . " Force alone will not be enough to guarantee Israel 's security , " he added , and said that " military success could not be a substitute for a political perspective " . " It is time to move towards a deal that would allow for the liberation of all hostages , a ceasefire and the mass entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza , and to prepare for the day after . " 11 hours ago 12.05pm Campaigners for press freedom have criticised Donald Trump 's rhetorical attacks on the media , warning that his second term marks a " dangerous moment " for journalism . " On the campaign trail and during his previous administration , president-elect Donald Trump has frequently deployed violent language and threats against the media . His election to a second term in office marks a dangerous moment for American journalism and global press freedom , " Reporters Without Borders said . In the run-up to election day , Trump repeatedly threatened the media , telling a crowd in Pennsylvania that he would n't mind if journalists got shot . He also repeatedly threatened to strip broadcasters of their licences over news coverage that he disapproved of . Between September 1 and October 24 , Reporters Without Borders found that Trump personally insulted , attacked or threatened the press at least 108 times in his public speeches and remarks -- not including social media posts or statements by his campaign staff . 11 hours ago 11.55am The European Union fears that the US under Donald Trump will abandon Ukraine and pressure it to sue for peace with Putin . " Our interest is that Russia does not win , " said President Macron , arriving at the European summit in Budapest . Ursula von der Leyen , the president of the European Commission , said that she would push Trump to take a stand against Putin . " It is in all our interests that the autocrats of this world get a very clear message that there 's not the right of might and it 's in our common interest that we do not allow the big neighbour to bully others , " she said . 12 hours ago 11.41am Viktor Orb ? n speaking at the start of the European Political Community ( EPC ) Summit DENES ERDOS/AP A mega-summit of more than 40 leaders from across Europe , including Sir Keir Starmer , has opened in Hungary 's national football stadium in Budapest . The arena is named after Ferenc Pusk ? s , the legendary Hungarian-Spanish football player . " We are playing in this stadium now , the whole of Europe is on the field , " said Viktor Orb ? n , Hungary 's controversial nationalist leader , who describes himself as " football mad " . The gathering -- to be followed by a dinner of EU leaders -- will be dominated by Trump 's victory and political turmoil in Germany . Olaf Scholz , whose fractious coalition government collapsed last night , is missing the first part of the summit , the fifth meeting of the wider European Political Community . He will arrive in Budapest on Thursday afternoon to take part in talks with EU leaders . 12 hours ago 11.14am The former mayor of New York City arrived to vote on Tuesday in the car he has been ordered to surrender RICARDO ARDUENGO/REUTERS Rudy Giuliani will face another day in court today after two Georgia election workers who were defamed by the former New York City mayor said that he is ignoring a court order to surrender his luxury apartment . The former personal lawyer to Donald Trump has been asked to hand over the property to Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea " Shaye " Moss within seven days . The property would partially satisfy a $148 million judgment that a Washington DC jury awarded Freeman and Moss in December 2023 . The property includes Giuliani 's Manhattan co-op apartment , a 1980 Mercedes , sports memorabilia and cash accounts . Freeman and Moss accused Giuliani of destroying their reputations through lies that they tried to help steal the 2020 US presidential election from Trump . 10.25am By Samer Al-Atrush , Middle East Correspondent Kuwait 's Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah and Donald Trump in 2017 , when he was last president MANDEL NGAN/AFP/GETTY IMAGES When Donald Trump won his first election in 2016 , he was welcomed with open arms by Middle East governments that had ended up loathing Barack Obama , who left office after straining relations with Israel , Egypt and much of the Gulf . Trump came in with the promise of a business-first approach . " Trump was a merchant who conducted himself as a merchant and they love merchants , " a senior Arab official told me . " He came and sold American positions for the highest bidder . " However , much has changed over the past four years and now Trump will be dealing with a region that has no appetite for the unpredictability that comes with him in the White House . Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates , which had egged on Trump against Iran during his first term , have been forced to make peace with Tehran after it lashed out with attacks that disrupted Saudi 's oil production and shipping off the UAE 's coast . 10.15am Donald Trump could focus on a Gaza ceasefire while being " very tough " on Hezbollah and Iran , Richard Dearlove , the former head of MI6 , has suggested . " The theocrats in Iran will be extremely nervous about Trump 's election , because I think the likelihood would be that Trump will be more supportive of Israeli taking a tough line towards Iran , the source , let 's say , of most of the instability in the Middle East " , he told Times Radio . " And there will certainly be Sunni leaderships , particularly Saudi Arabia , who are very enthusiastic about the return of Trump , because he was favourable to their interests in this deeper conflict in the Middle East between Shia and Sunni Islam . " So I think on the Middle East , perhaps it 's easier to see the way forward . My expectation would be that Trump ... focuses on a ceasefire in Gaza , but at the same time is very tough on Hezbollah and Iran . But I mean , that 's purely speculative . " 10.00am Mark Rutte said that he is keen to talk with Donald Trump about the threats facing Europe LUDOVIC MARIN/AFP The Nato secretary-general is among world leaders seeking a meeting with the new US president-elect . Mark Rutte , the former Dutch prime minister , said on Thursday that strengthening ties between Russia and North Korea are not only a threat to European security , but also for the United States . " Russia is delivering the latest technology into North Korea in return for North Korean help with the war against Ukraine and this is a threat not only to the European part of Nato but also to the US , " Rutte said before a meeting with European leaders in Budapest . " I look forward to sitting down with Donald Trump to discuss how we face these threats collectively . " 9.44am Giorgia Meloni , the Italian prime minister , congratulated Elon Musk , the Tesla CEO , on Thursday , who was a prominent backer of Donald Trump . Meloni said in a post on X that she had spoken to her " friend " Musk in recent hours . " I 'm convinced that his commitment and vision can be an important resource for the United States and Italy as we work together to meet the challenges of the future , " Meloni said . The right-wing Italian prime minister and the world 's richest man have repeatedly praised each other in public in recent months , so much so that Musk replied to a joke on X in September to say the two were not having an affair . Musk flew to Italy twice last year to meet Meloni in June and December . On Wednesday , Meloni also congratulated Trump after his victory . 9.25am The president-elect 's transition office is considering a plan to establish an 800-mile demilitarised zone along the front lines in Ukraine . The proposal would also include assurances from Kyiv that it would not join Nato for at least 20 years , according to the Wall Street Journal . It would also confirm Russia 's seizure of approximately 20 per cent of formerly Ukrainian territory currently occupied since the invasion . Neither the US nor a US-funded international body would police the demilitarised zone , but it remains unclear who would . " We can do training and other support but the barrel of the gun is going to be European , " a member of Trump 's team told the WSJ . We are not sending American men and women to uphold peace in Ukraine . And we are not paying for it . Get the Poles , Germans , British and French to do it . " Among those present as Donald Trump gave his victory speech in Florida early on Wednesday was Nigel Farage . The MP for Clacton is already involved in an attempt to persuade the president-elect to rip up a British deal to hand over the Chagos Islands , a strategic archipelago in the Indian ocean , according to reports . Legal advice criticising the deal to cede the islands to Mauritius was " put into the former president 's hands " by Farage , according to the Independent . Trump faces four charges in a federal court in Washington over his alleged role in trying to overturn the 2020 election result . In another federal case in Florida , he is charged with 40 felonies connected to his alleged retention of classified government documents . Trump has already promised to fire Jack Smith , the special prosecutor who is overseeing the two cases . As president , Trump will be able to hire a new attorney-general , the head of the department , who would have control over the cases and the power to kill them off . 8.40am Donald Trump 's picks for his cabinet will reflect those who aided his stunning comeback to power . Elon Musk , the billionaire founder of Tesla and SpaceX , bet heavily on a Trump presidency and will be rewarded with influence in the White House , possibly through a role promoting economic efficiency . Advisers such a Stephen Miller , the architect of the Muslim ban , and Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles , will inevitably be crucial to influencing the political direction of the new administration . Susie Wiles BRIAN SNYDER/REUTERS Chris LaCivita ALEX BRANDON/AP Miriam Adelson , the widow of the casino mogul Sheldon Adelson , was among the biggest donors to Trump 's re-election effort . She could be vital in helping Trump achieve his aims in the Middle East . For secretary of state , contenders include the Florida senator Marco Rubio , the former national security adviser Robert O'Brien and the Tennessee senator Bill Hagerty . Richard Grenell , the outspoken Trump loyalist who has been ambassador to Germany and acting director of national intelligence , is an outside shot for secretary of state but would have a smoother route to becoming national security adviser , a post that does not require Senate confirmation . Richard Grenell REBECCA COOK/REUTERS John Paulson , a billionaire hedge fund manager and major Trump donor , is considered a potential candidate for Treasury secretary , along with Robert Lighthizer , who was the US trade representative under Trump . Mike Pompeo , variously CIA director and secretary of state during Trump 's last term , might be offered a role as secretary of defence . Tom Cotton , the conservative Arkansas senator , could also be in contention for defence . Trump 's family will also be given senior positions . Widely mocked during Trump 's first presidency , " Don Jr " , 46 , has emerged as a shrewd campaigner and trusted adviser with unrivalled influence within the Maga movement . 8.34am Barack Obama singled out inflation and the pandemic as two excuses for Harris 's poor performance in a tweet responding to Trump 's victory last night . He said while the election was " not the outcome we had hoped for " , he accepted the need for a peaceful transition to power . The former president said his country had " been through a lot " in the last few years and that a lot of people felt as if they were " treading water " . Obama was initially slow to endorse Harris when Biden stepped down , but swung behind her to appear at rallies during the campaign . 8.16am Viktor Orb ? n , the Hungarian prime minister , will serve champagne to EU leaders in Budapest tonight and is touting himself as Donald Trump 's " point of reference " in Europe . He tweeted last night : " Mar-a-Lago calling . Just had my first phone conversation with President Trump since the elections . We have big plans for the future . " He will tell other EU leaders that it is now " necessary " to rethink their Ukraine strategy amid " concerns about Europe 's ability to continue its military and financial support for Ukraine without the support of the United States " . Orban is also expected to tell leaders to " change the EU 's approach from one of war to one of peace " . 7.48am Iran has called Donald Trump 's victory in the US presidential election an opportunity for the United States to reassess past mistakes . " We have very bitter experiences with the policies and approaches of different US governments in the past , " Esmaeil Baghaei , the foreign ministry spokesman , was quoted as saying by state news agency IRNA on Thursday , adding Trump 's win was a chance " to review previous wrong policies " . 7.25am Donald Trump is preparing to appoint key senior members of his cabinet as Kamala Harris , the vice-president , promises to ensure the peaceful transfer of power in a concession speech last night . The president-elect is being presented with a " wide array of experts " as he begins to form a government , according to aides . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'bowed out of accompanying her husband on official events' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes an action of withdrawing from participation, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

A chaste kiss on the cheek for his wife , Melania , at his victory speech in West Palm Beach , Florida , was Donald Trump 's tribute to the person who enabled him , perhaps more than any other , to reach the White House for a second time . It slipped off her smooth non-stick cheek . Moments before , he had turned to his 54-year-old wife , flanking him on the stage , boasting that her memoir , Melania , was the No 1 bestselling book in the country : " Can you believe that ? " It is , compared to many unmentionables invoked by Trump in rally mode , believable . When Trump first took office in 2017 , Melania was memorable for her absence . Compared with the close political alliances within the marriages of the Clintons and the Obamas , that spousal advisory position was , in the Trump hierarchy , supplanted by Melania 's stepdaughter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for months , and frequently bowed out of accompanying her husband on official events . This is a book written from the perspective of a wife with icy loyalty to her husband , despite him talking about grabbing women " by the pussy " in 2005 at a time when Melania was pregnant with their son , Barron . Or despite him being convicted in a case of fraud this year , involving hush money paid to the porn actress Stormy Daniels . A porn actress who Trump had an encounter with in 2006 , a few months after Melania gave birth . A woman with immense power , whose departure from Trump , whether or not she released kompromat , would have neutered his political ambitions . A woman with immense power only matched by hostility to self-revelation , despite what it cost her in likeability , who finished her tenure in 2021 as the least popular first lady yet , according to surveys by CNN , SRSS and Gallup . A cold war queen with the power of checkmate : who would n't want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ today -- telling that story ? Especially now that , while this has been Trump 's third run at the presidency , for Melania , with her son at university in New York and Ivanka off the political scene , it may feel like her first run at first lady . Especially when Melania , as an immigrant , and a woman , and someone who believes in a woman 's right to abortion but is prepared to put that aside to tie her fortunes to Trump , embodies exactly the voter her husband needed to stage his incredible comeback . Especially as her private persona is so crucial to the development of his public one . Melania : " Donald had always placed a considerable amount of trust in me as wife , mother , confidante and advisor . " STEVEN FERDMAN/REX/SHUTTERSTOCK In 2012 Melania posted a stock photo of a beluga whale , in which she seemed to find kinship . The whale has frozen , glossy skin , and no clues to its intellect . Melania captioned the post : " What is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but this book promised to blow out the whale 's story . Now I 've read Melania , I can reveal that it does and it does n't . There is no mention of " locker room " boys talk or porn stars . In keeping with Melania 's uncanny computer-generated quality -- she had " Instagram face " before Instagram -- it feels written by an AI bot instructed to flatter ( if she had assistance in the writing , we do n't know , the book has no acknowledgments ) . It tells a heroic story of her success and blamelessness . For example , a photographer early on allows " my natural beauty to shine through " . Is she being factual ( she was a model after all ) or vainly insecure ? Later , as first lady , she visits a man who has been shot in the leg in a mass shooting in Las Vegas . Despite this , he wants to stand up for her . " It 's my honor , " he apparently says . Everyone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , her parents and husband are described in never less than superlatives and she admits no mistakes . The book is free of intentional jokes : at most there 's an occasion at their wedding when , Melania says , Billy Joel " humorously " substitutes lyrics in The Lady Is a Tramp to mention " Trump " . But sometimes the humour seems ready for the taking . On the morning of his first election victory in 2016 , Melania recalls Donald turning to her before he went to work in his office , saying , " You 're first lady . Good luck . " She is confused , almost as if there is a language barrier to her native Slovenian . Melania at first worries that her husband is being sarcastic or dismissive . " I looked at him , momentarily unsure of his meaning . Good luck ? I realised he was n't worried , he was proudly confident I could handle the future . " It was his unique way of saying ' Good luck , I know you 'll excel , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a considerable amount of trust in me as wife , mother , confidante and advisor . That morning his trust felt particularly tender and profound . " Yet , despite herself , an intriguing portrait leaks through . The Art of Her Deal , a biography of Melania by Mary Jordan , a journalist for The Washington Post , says that Melania spoke so little that Ivanka , when she was younger , nicknamed her " The Portrait " . In a rare interview , Jordan pressed the first lady for " the correct description of you " . Melania replied : " I know what I want , and I do n't need to talk . " Melania made a statement to the media in 2018 , saying she really does n't care , " do u ? " MANDEL NGAN/AFP ; GETTY IMAGES Melania inadvertently explains that behaviour , and explains for me the mechanics of her marriage . It was often assumed that Trump was the macho patriarch , while Melania was the feminine maternal figure , nurturing Barron . After @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has long upheld traditional gender roles " . Yet in their marriage these gender stereotypes are reversed . Trump is known to be a " charisma " politician , meaning it matters less what he does than how he emotes . He can range from logorrhoea to emotional incontinence , he relies on creating reactions . In a woman it would be enough for a Victorian doctor to diagnose hysteria : this emotional lability is stereotypically feminine . Meanwhile , Melania is the traditionally masculine strong , silent type . Repeatedly throughout the book she reiterates her craving for order , organisation , planning and punctuality ( the word " organisation " appears a dozen times ) . She also repeatedly talks of her tendency to solitude and her ability to survive without friends or socialisation . Her attempts at communication are so often misunderstood . She infamously wore a jacket emblazoned with the words " I really do n't care , do u ? " on a visit to migrant children . She says in the book that the jacket slogan ( which could stand as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " , a subtle message to the media that she was indifferent to their negativity . We regularly see examples of her " systemiser " mindset , confounded by the messy human world . In all the passages of her early life until she reaches New York at the age of 26 , she never once mentions friends . By contrast , she notes her older sister " made friends with ease " . Thereafter , she mentions unnamed friends infrequently . There are no bridesmaids at her wedding . Instead , her description of her early years focuses on the interior design of her childhood flat , and the elaborate cake decoration supplied by their nanny , a focus on interiors and formal table decoration that intensifies in the White House . If this was an introspective Barack Obama writing a memoir likeDreams From My Father , she might linger to analyse the physical and career resemblances of Donald to her father , a successful businessman . But Melania has different pains : " Young people can be so dismissive towards anyone who is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " are " cruel " to her , behaviour that she says would be described as bullying today . She " often found myself navigating the world on my terms " . She found " solace in my family or my own thoughts " . She persisted in her " methodical mindset " , and comforted herself by saying the jibes were " their problem , not mine " . She describes herself as having " organisation , orderliness and a methodical approach " ; she is a " methodical wife " . She develops a " profound knowledge of the mechanical and technological aspect of cars " . At college she at first specialises in industrial design , appealing for its " discipline and structure " . She becomes frustrated when waiting to take residency of the White House because she can not get access to measure the rooms , thereafter her passion -- seven pages are devoted to the subject -- is for interior renovation . In the photos in the book she is often pictured alone in White House rooms , with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This includes the creation of a luxury White House tennis pavilion : there is no mention of tennis . It is exteriors and interiors that house emptiness . This neurotype complements that of her husband . She is the unchanging and strong rigidity that can support his looseness . She says at one point she seeks to emulate the first lady model of Jackie Kennedy , who she says is " flawless " . Cultivating flawlessness is apparent in the attention paid in the book to her outfits , " self care remains a guiding principle in my life " . This flawlessness means she also does not like to be wrong . She describes several incidents , such as the plagiarisation of a speech by Michelle Obama or her unsuccessful beauty business , to land blame on others . Behind every powerful man ... Donald and Melania at the official launch of the Trump 2020 campaign MANDEL NGAN/AF ; GETTY IMAGES On the day of the Capitol riots she says she is deep in the White House with a team of photographers and designers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she notices a " sizeable gathering " outside the window , but even despite an entreaty from her press secretary to " denounce the violence " , does not break off from her task ( she later blames her staff for not keeping her fully informed ) . Melania is far more interested in the look of American democracy than its substance . In this way the union of Donald and Melania is an inverse of The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde . Melania remains flawlessly unchanging and unreactive , a self-described " perfectionist " , tucked away silently in an inner sanctum of the White House . In the balance of their relationship , this allows her husband , 24 years older , to be out in the world , enacting the uglier side of politics . What this book and her new term as first lady serves as is a rebuke to being patronised . In 2016 there was a semi-serious story , peddled by the pussy-hatters at the 2017 Women 's March on Washington , that Melania was a kind of unwilling mercenary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ BLINK TWICE IF YOU NEED HELP " . To this day , conspiracy theorists imagine she has a body double . As soon as Trump 's power left him , this narrative went , so too would his third wife . This was infantilising . Melania is powerful , even if she does not always take responsibility . According to the book by Jordan , Melania goes icy when furious . In 2016 , at the crucial revelation of the " pussy-grabbing " , Trump gathered with advisers , focused only on the power of the woman 30 floors above them in the Trump Tower penthouse . If she walked out , the campaign was over . Trump seemed frightened to face her and , according to Jordan , took two hours to step into the lift . In particular , Melania hated pity . " Do n't feel sorry for me , " she said in her next TV interview to CNN on the subject , saving her husband 's political career , " I can handle everything . " From very young , Melania developed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ life 's unattractive distractions . She praises her husband in this book as the " unity " candidate . She also -- shortly after a speaker had referred to Kamala Harris as the " antichrist " -- talked of " unity " at his recent Madison Square Garden rally . We can hope that Donald Trump can be as stable in his governance as he is in his marriage . |

×
The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It uses 'get out of' followed by a noun 'suffering', not a VP[-ing] predicate, and lacks an NP object that functions as a causee. Additionally, it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

One hundred and fifty miles north of San Francisco is a town called Philo , population 319 . If you were driving through one Wednesday evening in December you might have spotted two British women , a photographer and a journalist , sitting in a car outside the minimart , trying to process what had just happened . We had spent two days on the Land , a 160-acre " monastery " nearby , home to an organisation some have called an orgasm cult . They were two of the most unsettling , disorientating days of my life . Rachael , the photographer , and I were separated from the moment we arrived and escorted everywhere we went . People I met on the Land @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a " practice " that will save us , invented by their guru , Nicole Daedone -- who , in June , was charged with running a conspiracy involving forced labour . She faces 20 years in a US prison if found guilty . Daedone , 56 , founded the sexual wellness company OneTaste in 2004 in San Francisco . She wrote instructions for " orgasmic meditation " ( OM ) -- a woman lies back and has her clitoris stroked by a man wearing latex gloves for 15 minutes -- trademarked the technique and sold courses for thousands of dollars . OM , she said , will one day be as mainstream as yoga . The company quickly grew , making $9.4 million in 2016 . Daedone received praise from Gwyneth Paltrow and Khlo ? Kardashian . By 2018 , 35,000 people attended events in cities including London . Hundreds moved into " OM houses " , communes where they could OM twice in the morning and twice in the evening . Many gave up their jobs to sell courses . The minimart in Philo marks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Nicole Daedone 's group , formerly known as OneTaste RACHAEL WRIGHT FOR THE SUNDAY TIMES MAGAZINE According to federal prosecutors , however , it was n't a " wellness " company at all . Instead , they allege Daedone and her former head of sales , Rachel Cherwitz , 43 , targeted vulnerable people by advertising that the company 's teachings could repair sexual trauma , " induced " members to take on debt to pay for OM courses , withheld wages and isolated them from the outside world while demanding " absolute commitment " . It alleges they used abusive employment practices , subjecting members to " economic , sexual , emotional and psychological abuse , surveillance , indoctrination and intimidation " . Members were " groomed " and pressed to have sex with other members and prospective investors , prosecutors allege . OneTaste imploded in 2018 when Bloomberg published an investigation accusing the organisation of resembling a " prostitution ring " . " It was a religion , " one former employee told Bloomberg . " Orgasm was God and Nicole was like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ down all centres and courses . A group of about 30 " senior practitioners " , including Daedone , retreated to the Land . Then came a BBC podcast , The Orgasm Cult ; a Netflix documentary , Orgasm Inc ; a Vice documentary and a Playboy investigation . In June 2023 the FBI stormed the Land . Daedone and Cherwitz were arrested . The company has spent about $15 million on legal fees since 2018 : suing the BBC , suing Netflix , suing a former member , being sued by another former member for alleged sex trafficking and fighting the criminal trial . There is no trial date yet . Daedone and Cherwitz deny all allegations and on January 16 submitted a motion to dismiss the indictment , saying they " remain in the dark as to how the government alleges they might have violated the law " . Now , for the first time , OneTaste has agreed to let a journalist through the gates of the Land and promised me an audience with Daedone , her first interview since the indictment . She @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ demonstrate her innocence . And so , one Tuesday morning in December , we drove through Philo , past the minimart and turned left . " Hey , " says a man wearing wooden beaded bracelets as he gets out of an SUV . Rachael and I had just driven down a long track and found ourselves at a dead end . " I 'm Bob , " he says , grinning . " You 're in the wrong place , I 'll show you in . " Rachael looks at me and says : " How did he know where we were ? " We follow Bob through some electric gates and over a bridge , the same route taken by the fleet of FBI vehicles last summer . We pass a vegetable patch , chickens , turkeys and a meadow that sits beneath ancient oak trees , alongside the rumbling Navarro River . We are in the Anderson Valley : Californian wine country . At the top of a hill is a collection of chalets where the remaining OM group @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just a few belongings between them . No one can tell me exactly how you qualify to live here . The 26 people who do are on what is called the " retreat programme " and work for the company as lawyers , publishers , videographers , marketers , OM teachers , gardeners or at the non-profit outreach programme feeding the homeless . Some live here part-time , for others it is their permanent home . They pay $1,700 a month in rent , which covers food , board and " practice " : yoga and spiritual guidance from Daedone , who lives in her own house , set apart -- and four sessions of orgasmic meditation a day . The group 's orgasmic meditation ( OM ) sessions take place in this barn four times a day RACHAEL WRIGHT FOR THE SUNDAY TIMES MAGAZINE Most appear to be wealthy . One man used to work at Apple , another was an executive at the international gym franchise CrossFit . There are millionaire entrepreneurs , the daughter of the inventor of the Polly Pocket toy , former @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actress . Members of the public can also book to stay for days , weeks or months , with places available at about ? 500 a night . We arrive at a converted barn . The upstairs is for OM sessions , downstairs is where the company broadcasts hours and hours of its teaching . This morning in front of an audience of about 20 -- residents on the Land -- stands Vanessa Lengies , 38 , an actress who appeared in the US comedy drama Glee . " Without further ado , " Lengies says , livestreaming onto YouTube , Instagram and Zoom . " I give you Nicole Daedone ! " And there she is , walking onto the stage in a fitted orange cocktail dress , her hair tonged and shiny , lips glossed and pillowy . The audience is beaming . She is the reason they are all here -- and the reason I am too . This is her weekly " sutra session " in which she delivers a sermon inspired by The Eros Sutras , the scriptures she wrote that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for how to live a life of intimacy , connection and eroticism . Soulmaker Press , the group 's in-house publisher , has produced ten books to date . They are all written by her . Daedone is a practised speaker , leaving long , pregnant pauses that everyone waits for her to fill . " I broke open into that silence , " she says . " Suddenly it was , like , this is what it 's supposed to feel like . This is what I feel like in my own body on my own terms . " The room laughs and nods as she continues in this vein . It 's time for questions . Hands shoot up . One woman says the talk made her cry . I watch it again later on YouTube . I still do n't understand a word she said . We eat tacos and black beans at three long tables in a dining hall . There is a seating plan and bottles of San Pellegrino . Residents take it in turns to do chores -- cooking , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ arrives . She seems reserved though confident , her stance solid , her shoulders square , coy , a little removed . People approach her and she looks them deep in the eyes , touching their hands gently and not looking anywhere else . She gives me a shy wave as she sits down and I 'm told by her publicist I 'll interview her tomorrow . Daedone was born in Los Gatos , California , into a bohemian political household and brought up largely by her single mother . She graduated from San Francisco State University with a degree in gender communications and semantics in 1994 . San Francisco at the time was an orgy of dotcom cash . In a much-repeated story where details vary , she claims she met a man ( in some tellings a Buddhist monk ) at a party who persuaded her to try an " ancient sexuality practice " known as " deliberate orgasm " . " Something happened , " she said . " The big traffic jam in my head stopped . " She took classes with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who practised public " clitoral stroking " and founded the northern Californian commune Lafayette Morehouse , labelled by journalists as a sex cult -- though the group insists all " research " has been carried out between consenting adults . In 1998 she joined a splinter group in the Bay Area , the Welcomed Consensus , that also promoted " deliberate " orgasm . There she met Robert Kandell , a Silicon Valley financier . Kandell and Daedone decided to give orgasms the start-up treatment , to take the practice mainstream -- and so founded OneTaste . For the method to be trademarked and marketable , it needed to be formulaic : the woman asks a man if he wants to OM . He does not have to be her sexual or romantic partner . She lies down , unclothed from the waist down , her legs butterflied . The man is fully clothed , wearing latex gloves . His right index finger strokes the top left quadrant of her clitoris . Both people 's attention must be focused wholly on the " stroke " . It lasts exactly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do , that this was n't sex but an everyday spiritual " practice " such as yoga . The first OneTaste members moved into a warehouse in San Francisco , sheets hanging between each bed . Daedone was at its centre . " Everybody treated me like a guru , " she said . " I 'd wake up and people would come sit on my bed . " Daedone 's weekly sermon , or ' sutra session ' , is livestreamed on Zoom and social media RACHAEL WRIGHT FOR THE SUNDAY TIMES MAGAZINE Persephone ( not her real name ) joined the group in 2003 , having recently quit her job and marriage . " I was mesmerised by Nicole when I first met her , " she tells me on the phone from the US . " But she 's a master manipulator . She can read a person and know exactly how to play them . " She became addicted to the " continuous buzz " of orgasms and soon moved into a commune . " People were high all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , " she says . " It was used as a way to control people , " she believes . Members were n't told to cut off ties with family , Persephone says , but " family members ca n't relate to you . They 're , like , ' What the hell are you talking about ? ' The longer you were there , the harder it was to think yourself out , " she adds . " Nicole talks about all these grandiose things , about how they 're changing consciousness , so you think , ' Maybe I 'm really doing something important here . ' " Persephone says she eventually " woke up " , feeling she was being " used " . She left the community . " This is what Nicole does , " she says . " She makes you think you want to live there , that it 's your choice . But it 's not -- it 's grooming . " Daedone said in response to the allegations of manipulation , " that is the antithesis of everything I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Daedone bought out Kandell and became sole shareholder of OneTaste . The company spread across 39 cities globally . Every morning employees had a " sync up " -- an online meeting where each city would compare sales of OM courses . Targets were met only 36 per cent of the time . Back at lunch on the Land I am placed opposite Rachel Caine , a 34-year-old with dark hair in tight natural curls . She worked at the law firm Clifford Chance in Sydney until 2016 , when she attended an OM workshop . She signed up for the coaching programme and every month flew 14 hours to San Francisco . She quit her law job and moved into an OM house . Now she is one of the company 's lawyers . " Everything that 's changing the world is seen as being weird at first , " she tells me . Next to me is Anjuli Ayer , 42 , who went even further . She bought the company from Daedone in 2017 , less than a year after attending her first OM , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a short pixie crop and wears military boots and a parka , says OM-ing rid her of the symptoms of an autoimmune disease . " So I started taking courses and did as many as I could , " she says . " Then Nicole just happened to be looking not to be the owner of the company any more , because she 's a visionary and she was never really meant to run a big business It was awesome , " continues Ayer , grinning . " Awesome ! " Practitioners are guided through a food preparation session RACHAEL WRIGHT FOR THE SUNDAY TIMES MAGAZINE Daedone sold OneTaste for $12 million to Ayer , her brother , Austin Ayer , 39 -- who seems only to serve people food -- and Amanda Dunham , 34 , who chops apples . All three are OM practitioners and all three invested " family money " . They also bought the Land for $4 million . Within months of the acquisition the allegations began . Former employees told Bloomberg they were encouraged to use sex to " hook @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ huge loans to pay for courses to ascend , spiritually . Other media investigations termed OneTaste a " destructive sex cult " . In a claim fully denied by the company , the BBC podcast alleged that the group arranged for men to have sex with one member in order to somehow " clear " her history of childhood sexual abuse . It is alleged they told her her tears were " just the orgasm coming out " . " OneTaste was not a ' destructive sex cult ' or any sort of ' cult ' as the term is commonly understood , " the claimants submitted in their legal case against the BBC . " It was a collaborative organisation that promoted wellbeing and practices of self-care and empowerment for modern women with decision-maker power decentralised among the senior leaders . " It continued that all residency in OM houses was voluntary , with " informed consent " and " safe words " at the centre of the instructions , with no one " exploited or manipulated " into having sex with anyone else . No one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ friends or family . Among the chaos OneTaste was restructured and reassembled as various companies and non-profits . The Institute of OM runs the online learning platform . Daedone is , on paper , divorced from it entirely . The word " OneTaste " is , almost everywhere , gone . The Institute of OM has started hosting introductory sessions in hip event spaces in London , New York and Los Angeles . Alongside free content it is also selling memberships to the online platform -- $149.99 a year or $695 for four sessions . In 2023 the Institute of OM 's revenue was $32,000 . In 2022 it was $377 . " We 're much more mission-based , " Ayer says . " None of us are here to make money . " A map of the Land , including a swimming hole and helipad RACHAEL WRIGHT FOR THE SUNDAY TIMES MAGAZINE Ayer shows me into my cabin overlooking a river valley heavy with fog . She and Kevin Williams , 47 , a former corporate lawyer in London and now the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to my slight surprise . They sit down at my table . ( OneTaste later claimed that this meeting , and its location , was on a schedule they provided . That was news to me . ) They want to brief me before my meeting with Daedone tomorrow . What is her role , I ask , now she is not an owner , shareholder or CEO . " She 's the author of the sutras , she 's the inspiration for everything , she 's the source of all of the principles and the foundation of what we 're doing right now , " Ayer says . " She advises us as a visionary . We 're deeply inspired by every single book and every single thing she creates . " " She 's a great finder , " Williams says , grinning . " She 'll be , like , check out Bob Thurman 's podcast a Buddhist academic and that was my favourite podcast of last year . I was , like , Bob Thurman is awesome ! " Later I find Williams 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " I am getting a lot of ass , " he wrote . " People seem to enjoy being violated on a Friday night ! " What is this group , I ask . A religion , a cult , a company , a group of friends getting off ? " We 're not a religion , " Ayer says . " We are a movement . " Williams picks up : " We are also plural . I 'm one person but I have a job doing what I love for a company that I love and I live in a monastery where I get to practise , and I really do feel those separate but connected things . It 's a ' choose your own adventure ' environment . And a lot of us choose a lot of depth in it . " Ayer gives it another go : " This whole thing is a movement of a certain number of people core to it , who are furthering these principles . " So it 's a belief system , I say . " Yes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it 's also something that 's scaled and monetised like a company , I say . " Uh-huh . Did we answer your question ? " Why is the word " cult " used so often , I ask . " I mean " Ayer pauses . " To see it labelled something that people think is negative it 's just completely misunderstood . Then in another way I 'm , like , OK , Apple is a cult . CrossFit is a cult . These other things get called cults because people love them and deeply benefit from them and then they get labelled something that 's seen as negative , when it 's really just people devoted to something that they believe in . " A spokesperson later told us , " OneTaste was not , is not , and never has been a cult . " They slide across a pack of paper , seven pages of text , that they say I should read before I meet Daedone . " Nicole really took a lot of care writing this , " Ayer says , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Ayer walks me back to the dining hall , where I see Rachael , the photographer , from afar . ( After we leave the Land , Rachael tells me she kept getting picked up by people taking her to different locations to photograph -- and was surprised to find them often driving her car . ) Dinner is roast beef , chimichurri , potatoes and gem lettuce . Austin offers chocolate-chip cookies . " We 're pretty self-contained , " Ayer says . The week 's food arrives in huge deliveries , stored in a walk-in fridge-freezer . The seating plan ensures Daedone is not near me . Opposite me is Joanna Van Vleck , 40 . She grins with skin flushed -- she has just OM-ed , her fourth orgasm of the day . In 2009 she founded a retail company : it was subsequently sold on for $350 million to the American department store Nordstrom . Hearing that orgasmic meditation was going to be huge , she asked Daedone for a role as her head of marketing . " I did n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " But the joke was on me , because it changed my life . " Van Vleck then served as the company 's president for several years . It is alleged that during this time OneTaste used " predatory " tactics , telling people that they could reach a sort of spiritual enlightenment by purchasing more courses . Today she tells me that refunds were given whenever anyone asked . " The most difficult part is feeling so misunderstood , " she says . " It 's , like , I 'm trying to be an apple . And someone 's , like " She pauses . " Oh , you 're an asparagus ! And you 're , like , that 's not it at all . " There are no children allowed here . From my conversations with people , their children are either grown up or they do n't have children at all . Many of these people seem to have dated or been engaged to each other . I ask about the members who have said they became estranged from their families @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that it is " part of the practice " to stay " connected and work through " any issues . " All of us have had different experiences , " she says . " My family has been incredibly supportive ... Shall we take you back ? " We walk in the dark . Where 's my photographer Rachael 's cabin , I ask . " She 's near you , " is all they say . I shut the door behind me -- there is no lock and no blinds on the windows . One kitchen cupboard is empty except for a box of latex gloves . The mugs have been cleared , the fruit platter taken away . Gwyneth Paltrow , pictured left at a wellness event held by her company in 2017 , was a champion of Daedone , second from right , who appeared on her podcast in 2018 REX/SHUTTERSTOCK My alarm goes off at 5.30am . Ayer comes to collect me , driving us 45 seconds to the converted barn . Upstairs in the loft there are seven @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two rows on the floor . It 's warm , a cave in the wooden eaves . I sit on a chair , observing only , worried I 'm going to get the giggles . I 'm tense , full of caution . The OM session begins at 6.15am on the dot . Seven women are lying down on pillows -- including the actress , Lengies , and the women I spoke to at dinner . The men sit alongside them , latex gloves on -- Eli , who used to work at Apple ; Bob , the manager of the Land , who showed us in ; and Hesham , the company videographer . Daedone is absent . She does n't practise with the group any more , only privately with her one OM " partner " in New York . Sitting at the front , the senior practitioner Aubrey Fuller instructs the men on how to amend their " strokes " , whether to go faster , slower , shorter , longer . Eli keeps looking me in the eye , which is unsettling . It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a yoga class than at a sex party -- toes scrunched up , heavy breathing , women asking for " adjustments " from their partner . It is a strikingly intimate act : men looking straight into a woman 's genitals , stroking them . So it unnerves me that everyone here insists that it 's not a sexual experience at all -- that you can do it with anyone at any time . The alarm goes off after 15 minutes . I ca n't tell if they reached climax or not . I 'm driven back to my chalet through the drizzle . Someone has left three umbrellas for me , leaning against the door . After a lunch of spiced chicken and bean salad , Ayer walks me to the converted barn where there are two chairs and two side tables , a cheese platter on each . " It 's not bad , huh ? " Daedone says as she walks in . The room is emptied of helpers ; just her publicist , Ian , and lawyer , Julia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ knitted cardigan over a silk dress . She crosses her arms into her lap and looks up through her eyelashes , seeming to pull herself away out of shyness -- it is a noticeable shift from when she was last in this room , preaching her sutras . Daedone splits her time between here and Harlem , New York , she tells me , and her " friends " pay for her living costs since her assets were frozen by the government in June 2023 . Marcus Ratnathicam , a member who lives part-time on the Land , secured her bail by putting up his $2 million property in California as collateral . " I love it here , " she continues . " When we first stepped foot on the Land , I had a vision . I always have these visions and they sound crazy , and then over a period of time they happen . " Why was it so important to have the Land ? " So , I have this idea . " There is a seven-second pause . " We 're @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world , in a way that 's sustainable . If the whole idea is to get out of suffering and hit a state of flourishing , then you have to take a different approach . " I must look lost . " When we talk , everything is going to be up here , " she puts one hand level with her eyes , " but then it has really deep roots . " Throughout the two-hour interview , Daedone chases herself through thoughts , moving on without quite finishing the last one . She compares herself to the Buddha and Elon Musk . She describes her role in the group as " the older person who inspires " and her teachings as central to the community . " That 's why I was so determined to write the sutras , " she says . " I 'd like to see this alive in 500 years and I 'm gon na die at some point . It has to be written down for that to happen . " The group , she says , is " about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Religions have prescriptions . There 's a dogma and belief system . " But are n't the sutras dogma ? " Have you read them ? Nobody has to read the sutras . But if you do read the sutras ... read them , if you would , because the way they 're laid out is how to use the practice as a scientific method for personal inquiry . " Daedone on the Land RACHAEL WRIGHT FOR THE SUNDAY TIMES MAGAZINE Daedone was an only child , a natural leader who says she did n't want to be followed . At 27 , she received a call from her father , from whom she was estranged , and found out he was dying of cancer in prison -- he had been convicted of molesting girls . All of it , Daedone says , was news to her . " I thought , OK , I have this pain , how can I use it to bring benefit to others ? I 've been on that path since . " Daedone trained in Zen Buddhism and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ months as a stripper and escort -- " I wanted to know things I did n't understand " -- before combining the two fields of research to make OneTaste . There is " nothing " similar to sex about OM-ing , she claims . " I said it yesterday , sex is the instrumentation and OM is the silence . It 's an attention-training practice . " Is n't it dangerous , I suggest , to pretend that something that is physically the same as sex , is n't sex ? " How would that be dangerous ? " Because people underestimate its potential to cause harm . " In most sexual activities I 'm familiar with , it does not have a rigorous protocol . OM-ing is taking sexual energies and repurposing them for consciousness or attention . It 's hard to decouple , I know . " Daedone stands by her innocence . She describes her predicament as being " cancelled " . She denies the allegations of forceful sales tactics , saying it is " batshit " that women were encouraged to look sexy in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interested in money ? " I dated rich men in my life , so if I wanted to be rich I would have just got married . " She also distances herself from what allegedly happened in the OM houses . She claims the houses were set up by " licensed OM practitioners " and were not the company 's responsibility . " I know what I saw . But I do n't know what I did n't see , " she says . " A group of meditators who decide that they want to live together ? I do n't know that Buddhism is responsible for what happens in that house . " She continues : " I think people go nuts when a clitoris is involved . " We need to talk about the c-word , I say . Cult . How does she feel about it being used ? " Oh , I love it ! " Then she laughs . " I 'm joking ! I mean , " she sighs dramatically , " I do n't know if you can feel who I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " just a human . But if not I 'll explain . This is my life 's work . I 'll take my last breath during this . And then to have it reduce It was devastating . It was terrible . We could not have been more out in the open in the world , as a business . " Daedone believes that one day everyone will realise the persecution of OneTaste was all some huge mistake . " I 'm in the deep-seated belief that OM will be seen as a very powerful modality . And that will come clear . A lot will come clear . " It sounds as if she sees herself as the martyr . " Well , we hope that 's not the case -- that I am sacrificed . We 'll see . I believe that the truth prevails . " She pauses . " There was n't a lot of profile in this , " she says with a smile . " I thought this was a profile about my work ? That was what I heard . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about the content of the sutras , her belief systems , Daedone as a theologian rather than the charges that will put her in the dock of a federal court .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('he shared of himself from his hospital bed essentially ruled himself out of appearing'). It involves a reflexive NP object ('himself') coreferential with the subject ('he'), which is an atypical but acceptable type of NP object in the transitive out of -ing construction. The interpretation here is prevention, as the action of sharing the photo prevented him from appearing.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'come out of being coached by Brian Clough' suggests a transition or origin rather than causation or prevention, which is not characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Former York City Clubman of the Year Scott Kerr looked back upon his time at York City . ( Image : Newsquest ) SCOTT KERR shared memories of his time as a player at York City , and the culture the club created under promotion-winning manager Gary Mills . Kerr represented York from 2011 to 2013 , making 78 appearances and being named as the 2012 Clubman of the Year for the Minstermen . He was part of the York team that reached the Isuzu FA Trophy final at Wembley and defeated Newport County 2-0 , as well as gaining promotion to the Football League after beating Luton Town 2-1 in the play-off final . However , Kerr was not able to play at Wembley for either of those matches , having suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury that would eventually be a factor in his departure from City . Having played under Mills , Kerr @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the club , which included going out for drinks and playing golf prior to a match in an ' old school ' way of management . Speaking to the West Yorkshire Football Show , Kerr detailed : " It was a tough one because I went to York and I was probably thriving at York . " I was playing at central defensive midfield under Gary Mills , and he had obviously come out of being coached by Brian Clough , so he was old school . " I 've listened to a few bits on Nigel Clough and how he took on a few things that his dad did . " I remember the first game that I went to at York and we were playing Ebbsfleet away , we would travel down on the Friday and Gary Mills said to pull over on the coach . " We pulled over at a pub and then all went over into this pub on Friday afternoon ! " He said ' right lads , everyone get a beer , what do you want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so I thought it might have been a test . " Michael Rankine is sat there with a Guinness , they 're all sat there sipping beers and I said that I just wanted a coke ! " It was his way , but he created such a good team and the bond that we had at York , us lads would go out on a Tuesday night . " Kerr confirmed that the players took Mills ' allowance of drinking and enjoying themselves to a respectable level as to ensure it did not affect their efforts on a matchday , and spoke on the squad that gained promotion to League Two , in what was one of the greatest seasons in the club 's history . He added : " The year that we got promoted to League Two , we were unbelievable . " We were playing so much good , attacking football and we had such a good group of players . " Every week , we would all play golf together and all go out for beers on a Tuesday @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't messing about and stuff . " However , Kerr 's time at the club was hampered by an ACL injury that he sustained in the FA Trophy semi-final , that meant he would not be involved in either trophy-winning match at Wembley Stadium . Kerr also believes that his ACL played a part in his eventual departure from the club , combined with the sacking of Mills which brought the appointment of Nigel Worthington , who did not play a style of football that suited the former City midfielder . " It was brilliant , but unfortunately I tore my ACL away at Luton in the semi-final of the FA Trophy . " I played every game for York that year , I captained them for the season , I got all of the Player of the Year 's awards and then I tore my ACL . " Because of it , I missed both Wembley appearances . " My nephew was mascot for one of them , and my son was mascot for the Luton game , so I got to watch @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me a little bit , I came back from my ACL about five months into League Two and not long after that , Gary Mills got sacked and Nigel Worthington came in .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks a clear NP subject performing an action (V1) on an NP object with an out of VP2[-ing] predicate that induces either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

When you purchase through links on our site , we may earn an affiliate commission . Here 's how it works . ( Image credit : Kojima Productions ) Death Stranding is hard work . It is repetitive and unyielding , resolute in its determination to slow you down . It succeeds when it asks little of you and stumbles on the rare occasion that it demands more -- that you sprint , that you shoot , that you fight to survive . It 's a game that works when your only discernible objective is to put one foot in front of the other for long stretches of time , soaking in the silence of a world slowly coming apart at the seams . If you 're planning on diving into Death Stranding : Director 's Cut on Xbox this weekend , here 's my advice : Take your time , because to do anything else would be a waste of it . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Xbox Series X. The game is also available on PC and PS5 , and you can go back and read our Death Stranding review for the original GamesRadar+ verdict . I 'm well aware that " It 's not the destination , it 's the journey " resembles one of the most criminally overused cliches in modern history , but it 's surprisingly apt in the case of Death Stranding . At its heart , the game is a walking simulator engineered on a scale unlike any other . Your stated objective is to deliver cargo between objective markers , but little of it bears any real significance . If there is any significance to be found , it will ultimately be drawn from what you may see of yourself reflected in the slow walk from east to west , across an auspiciously Scandinavian painting of North America . ( Image credit : Kojima Productions ) I ca n't honestly say whether you 're going to have a good time with Death Stranding . After investing no fewer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ having now sat in the aftermath of that adventure for a few years , I 'm not even sure that I had a good time with Death Stranding . At times it felt like I was held hostage to its serenity and at others punished for abiding by its audacity . What I will say is you should n't be afraid to chart your own path through it . Let the experience be your own , even if it flies in the face of conventional wisdom . Explore the landscape , not because there 's anything of worth to be collected from the contours of the map , do it simply because you can . Ignore the directions the narrative pushes you towards , not because there 's any divinity to be drawn from the side stories , but because there 's always fun to be found in distractions of your own design . The world just is and you are just there , so why not take the time to breathe in the air ? Navigating the terrain is a puzzle you 'll feel begrudgingly inclined to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pursuing all of the time , but there is a pervading sense of achievement measured in the miles you travel ; the slow burn of accomplishment tempting you onward . The scale of the space is truly intimidating , awe-inspiringly so . Conquering it will keep you invested in the journey even as your common sense is screaming at you to walk away entirely . The world is a maw of steep inclines and snowy mountains , of rapid waters and rancid decay ; the treachery of nature is the true villain of Death Stranding , even as the game contorts itself into strange shapes to present it as a secondary threat to that of the supernatural . ( Image credit : Kojima Productions ) " There is a pervading sense of achievement measured in the miles you travel ; the slow burn of accomplishment tempting you onward " For a game so ostensibly focused on the end of the world -- and on a cascade of otherworldly nuisances attempting to engineer it -- Death Stranding can be surprisingly down to earth . To divine anything from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ treat the emergent moments of peace and quiet with care and attention . Whether Kojima Productions intended it this way or not is debatable , but Death Stranding rarely works when it has you fighting anything more than your sense of direction . Embrace that , it 's fun to get lost in the wilderness . Setting out into the wilds with little more than a ladder , a set of climbing anchors , and a fresh pair of boots on your back is the only way to engage with the world on its own terms , in a way that makes any sense , at least . To reach your destination with little more than your own two feet is to succeed ; to stumble is to fail . Accept a delivery commission from a hologram , balance your cargo against your equipment requirements , and set off into the wilderness .

Eventually , industrialisation will begin to intervene with the natural inclines of the landscape as bridges , ziplines , and highways begin to take shape on the horizon . The closer these come to you , the further you are getting from the best version of Death Stranding . You 'll invest in this architecture against your better judgement to make your life a little easier , but you 'll never forget the grift that got you there . The hours and hours of monotony , born out of climbing and walking , and the plotting of safe passages through the passive violence of nature 's unassuming true form . Death Stranding knows that many of us are petrified of silence . Its best moments come as we long for the next distraction , only to find that it rarely comes -- you 'll use your thoughts to fill the space . As you tease @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ second-nature , robotic . Your mind will begin to wander -- let it . Embrace the quiet , and use it as a space for contemplation and reflection . I wo n't be so audacious to claim that Death Stranding offers moments of transcendence , but you 'll walk away with as much as you are willing to invest . ( Image credit : Kojima Productions ) My most memorable experience in Death Stranding had nothing to do with the BTs , the BBs , or any of the other science-fiction indulgences the game fumbles with , and everything to do with nothing at all . I was walking , I could n't tell you why , what I was carrying , where I was going , or for how long -- I do n't remember , it is n't important . What I do remember , however , are the misty mountains and the cautious climb along the top of them . I remember balancing perilously on a ladder to cross a crevices , and the way a climbing rope warbled in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the sound my spare pair of boots made as they clanked against my cargo . I remember the treacherous tumble down the other side of the mountain . It felt like free-fall , until my feet planted to the ground . An open expanse in front of me ; I started walking . Eventually , it started to rain and I let my mind drift away . I began to think of how far I 'd come and how far I had left to go , and of the trials I might need to overcome to reach the next destination -- the game and my life had become inseparable at this stage as my mind danced around these thoughts ; staring down the precipice of turning 30 is a trip all of its own . The opening bars of Low Roar 's ' I 'm Leaving ' began to puncture Death Stranding 's serene , silent soundscape , bringing me crashing back down to earth . I was lost , but I knew that figuring out where I needed to go next would be an adventure worth taking . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Productions , check out everything we know so far about Death Stranding 2 .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'get out of carrying out repairs' involves an NP object ('the eventual successful bidder') and a VP[-ing] ('carrying out repairs'), but the verb 'get' does not fit the semantic classes of verbs that typically appear in the V1 slot of the construction (e.g., verbs of deception, force, fear, etc.). Additionally, the interpretation does not clearly align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Cash-strapped Bristol City Council is losing out on ? 122,000 this year because almost half of the money-spinning digital advertising screens in Broadmead have been vandalised and the operators are refusing to repair them , a committee heard . The authority expected to earn ? 372,0000 in 2024/25 from the 34 large electronic devices in the shopping area but 14 have been smashed and the forecast income is now just ? 250,000 . But because the current contractor that runs the screens is in the last year of the agreement , it is reluctant to fix them because it does not have the security of a long-term deal , councillors were told . The economy and skills policy committee agreed unanimously to put a new contract out to tender after hearing that the clauses would be tightened up so that the eventual successful bidder could not get out of carrying out repairs .

Cllr Jenny Bartle ( Green , Easton ) said : " As the Greens we are against the proliferation of advertising across the city . " They said campaign group Adblock had published information which made clear that advertising had a detrimental effect on people 's health and wellbeing . Cllr Bartle said : " I was a bit hesitant to just vote this through because it is a long-term contract . I will be voting for this specifically because of the funding difficulties the council is having but this is one of those where I feel quite challenged because my principles say it would be better if we did not do this . " However , the use of this funding has been helpful for us in the past . I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that is the state of our funds .

She said that would make the new arrangements " more palatable " . Cllr Kelvin Blake ( Labour , Hillfields ) said : " We could all do with less advertising in our lives . The more you add in social value , the less potential income generating there is . " There 's a balance to be struck . If we can get some social value out of it then it 's worth doing .

I might wish it was n't necessary but it absolutely is . " It 's all been very poorly disguised politics and I 'm glad to see that 's fallen away now and they 've recognised that we ca n't afford to play those kinds of games , we actually have to fund this council .

Law firms ' and accountants ' phones have been red-hot this week as frantic farmers try to work out the best way to secure their farms . Chancellor Rachel Reeves ' Budget announcements have created a sense of fear and panic among farmers that they will no longer to pass down viable farm businesses to the next generation . Changes to Agricultural Property Relief will mean only the first ? 1m is secure - with 20% tax above that . Farmers complain that most viable farm businesses will be caught in the tax net - despite assurances from Ms Reeves that 73% would be unaffected . Much of the fine detail around the new inheritance tax regime for farmers is still unclear - and as the changes are planned for the 2025/26 tax year , professionals fear that they will be working in the dark for some time to come . Most measures contained in this year 's Budget will go before Parliament soon as the 2025/26 Finance Bill . But Agricultural Property Relief ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that vital detail could remain elusive for some time to come . " The phone has n't stopped ringing , " said Bruce Masson , a partner at accountancy firm Larking Gowen . The general advice has been to hold fast until more information comes to light rather than acting in haste . There was a sense of unfairness among farmers , he said . " A lot of farmers are genuinely struggling . It 's a very volatile market at the moment . " Those facing a potentially huge inheritance tax bill would have to sell land or assets , diminishing the viability of businesses , he said . He was having " a lot of very heartfelt conversations with clients and particularly those of a certain age who are in their 80s " . " They are naturally very upset that they wo n't be able to hand over a viable business to their children and grandchildren , " he said .

Some called or emailed even while the chancellor was on her feet - and some made contact that night . Some would n't have the ability to find money to pay tax bills - meaning small farms having to sell land , rent out or cease farming . " There is no single ' go to ' definitive guide as to what all the changes are and a lot of extra stuff is coming out gradually , " she said .

Issues included land values - which could be inflated by development potential even when the family has no intention to come out of farming . " It is unfair as a lot of farmers do n't want to develop their land , " she said . " This was never an issue in the past as there was 100% Business Property Relief ( BPR ) . One consequence may be farmers have to sell or give away land now while they can , and before there are further tax changes . " Many farmers plough profits back into the business to help cashflow and to reinvest - meaning they carry capital balances of around ? 300k to ? 400k . " As that money is what they are in theory entitled to on death they will now be penalised for being prudent business people , " she pointed out . " The new rules will mean @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spend the money which they were keeping in the business which was being used to run the business , and that in turn could lead to liquidity issues for farm businesses . " A farmer rang her to say he was about to invest ? 900k in a grain store to bring the farm up to the required standards but his son is now asking whether it was worth it as he could be improving his asset base only to be penalised on death , she said .

You get turfed out of the Carabao Cup by the burly Australian bouncer . You take a weekend trip to the seaside but end up dropping your scoop of cherry ice cream on the Bournemouth promenade . And then the guy who you just found out is moving in next door , who is 14 years younger than you and looks like a handsome model from a shampoo advert , turns up in his purring 3-4-3 Series and makes your luxury sedan look decidedly old hat . To say that Pep Guardiola has had better weeks would be an understatement . In fact , this is only the third time in his rarefied managerial career that he has , within a single season , lost three consecutive matches , and the past two occasions , during his time at Bayern Munich and Manchester City , were deep into the second half @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This time , that looks far from certain . In fact , the absence of certainty feels pervasive . Right now , City are a club in a bit of a holding pattern , waiting for things to happen . Waiting for Jack Grealish and Kevin De Bruyne to recover their fitness , form and mojo . Waiting for Guardiola to decide whether he will sign a new contract extension or leave at the end of this season . Waiting for the outcome of the hearing into the 115 charges against City for allegedly breaching financial rules . It would be fair to say that Guardiola will have had better weeks than the one which yielded a rare three defeats KIERAN MCMANUS/SHUTTERSTOCK And so when , shortly before 1.30pm , an announcement over the public address informed the journalists seated in the club 's media auditorium that Guardiola would be half an hour later than scheduled for his press conference yesterday , it did n't feel out of keeping .

Clinking caipirinhas with the blazers from the Brazilian Football Association , who are rumoured to be determined to make him their next head coach ? In the end , there was no answer to that particular mystery . But when Guardiola eventually entered the auditorium , something in his mood felt off . Many times during his near-decade in England , he has bounced into press conferences with the manically energetic fervour of a man who has had a religious epiphany and five triple espressos that morning and ca n't wait to tell you about it . Here , Guardiola was both clipped and becalmed , exuding a little edginess in response to some familiar yet undispelled questions , but also an underlying air of apathy and weariness . He spoke at times in a hush which was somewhere between a whisper and a sigh . Two out of the first four questions put to him -- about whether he had any plans to visit City 's owners in Abu Dhabi during the international break and whether Grealish would be fit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with a one-word " no " . Being bounced out of the Carabao Cup by Spurs will have hurt Guardiola ACTION IMAGES VIA REUTERS/MATTHEW CHILDS Given a chance to expound on his favourite subject , the merits of the manager of the team he 's about to face , a theme which can often propel him to heights of generous verbosity , he was typically gracious and complimentary about Fabian H ? rzeler , saying he had been " really impressed " by his " incredible job " , but even that answer was delivered in a flat monotone , lacking its usual mischievous zest . On the health of his team , figuratively speaking that is , Guardiola was somewhere between fatalistic and bullish . Could he , for the first time in his career , lose a fourth game in a row ?

" Pep would not have enjoyed R ? ben Amorim , the next Manchester United head coach , putting one over him in the Champions League on Tuesday ACTION IMAGES VIA REUTERS/ANDREW BOYERS The really interesting stuff was about Grealish , who has not been in the squad for City 's past five games yet has just been selected for England by Lee Carsley , and who a few days ago posted a cryptic message on Instagram saying : " You never know what people are going through . " Guardiola disclosed that Grealish wanted to go to the England camp , and did a good show of pretending that his selection was entirely Carsley 's prerogative -- and that , no , of course he was n't the slightest bit miffed that the interim England head coach had n't even picked up the phone to him . One could n't help feeling , though , that the deeper truth of his feelings on the matter was thinly concealed by what he said about Grealish 's fitness in one of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ did n't train once , " Guardiola said . " Today was the first training session , and he trained 20 minutes . " 2017/18 City lost to Liverpool 3-0 ( UCL , A ) , Manchester United 2-3 ( PL , H ) & Liverpool 1-2 ( UCL , H ) -- but still won PL title 2020/21-21/22 City lost to Chelsea 1-0 ( UCL final , N ) , Leicester City 1-0 ( Community Shield , N ) & Spurs 1-0 ( PL , A ) -- but still won PL title 2024/25 City have lost to Spurs 2-1 ( Carabao , A ) , Bournemouth 2-1 ( PL , A ) & Sporting 4-1 ( UCL , A ) -- Pep has never in his management career lost four games in a row One was left wondering if there is something disjunct in the relationship between Grealish and Guardiola , which was always a pairing of two wildly different outlooks and lifestyles but which seemed previously to have found a common wavelength . And if that is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Guardiola has been extremely good at is managing the morale of his squad , especially those who are n't playing every week or hitting their highest highs but whose sense of happiness and purpose is still important to the collective . He almost never allows things to stale or curdle . Maybe Grealish will get fit , get back in the team and he and Guardiola will end the season bro-hugging on a trophy dais , but right now it does n't feel like it , and the feeling around his squad is something that Guardiola has hitherto had an incredible knack for controlling . The larger question , of course , is whether this funk is part of the end days of the Guardiola era , or just a blip in the ninth year of a reign which will stretch to ten . And on that point , the manager was not giving even the slightest clue . It has been noted that the announcement of his past two contract extensions has arrived in November . But pressed , all he would say was : " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it 's going to happen it 's going to happen . " No white smoke then , and while they have sailed through the mists of circumstance before , it feels like City and their manager are now shrouded in a grey fog of uncertainty . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, 'backing out of participating' involves 'backing out' as a phrasal verb followed by a prepositional phrase 'of participating', which does not involve an NP object that is a causee. Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present in this context.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object between the verb 'backing' and 'out of', and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It lacks an NP object and does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it discusses the capacity of a device to prevent running out of material, which is not the same as the construction's defined interpretations.

Having reviewed over 197 ereaders , we know a thing or two about what makes the best Kindles . And we always test the latest Kindles before including them in this list . This enables to make informed recommendations on which Kindle would best suit your needs and your budget . Until then we finish testing the newest additions , you can still get the older models below at third-party retailers where stock is still available -- they 're cheaper than their successors . If you 'd prefer to wait , you could pick up the new 2024 range of Kindles for less when Black Friday sales kicks off later this month -- although it 's not often we see new tech getting discounted just weeks after release . Alternatively , you can take a look at our best ereader roundup and consider something else -- they make for excellent Christmas gifts too . November 8 , 2024 : We 've finished testing the new Kindle Colorsoft and have added it to our list below in a brand new category . Sharmishta @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spearheads the day-to-day functioning of the TechRadar editorial team in the APAC region , Sharmishta spends every free minute she gets reading . It 's what got her interested in ereaders in the first place and , over the last few years has managed to test a wide variety of these epaper devices , including some Kindles . She 's even appeared on Singaporean radio twice to speak about these e-ink tablets . Below you 'll find a quick list of the main best Kindles that we recommend you buy right now . But for more details , read on for further product breakdowns and links to the full reviews , where you can read how we put these Kindles to the test . Our price comparison tool will also flag the latest Kindle deals that are worth your attention . The Kindle Paperwhite hits the sweet spot between price and performance : it 's water resistant and has a better backlight than the basic Kindle . Battery life is excellent , too , and can often be picked up for a great discount @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as long as you wo n't get it wet . Amazon upgraded the screen so it has a 300ppi resolution and a brighter light , and also comes with 16GB of storage . However , it 's been out of stock lately , with a recent leak suggesting it could be replaced soon . It might be the only color Kindle but it aced our tests -- our reviewer loved it enough to give it a high score . Good colors , responsive performance and excellent battery life -- what more could you want ? Whether you want to read on a big screen , or you want to write , doodle , and journal , the Kindle Scribe is a powerful ereader . It is n't water resistant , so take care , but its features put this Kindle in a whole different class , not to mention its large , bright display . The Signature Edition offers upgrades over the standard Paperwhite , including wireless charging and an auto-adjusting light . It also offers 32GB of storage , making it ideal for storing audiobooks as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 're not too enthused about getting stuck within Amazon 's ecosystem , your best alternative is to opt for a Kobo ereader and the Clara BW would be our pick . It gets the latests E Ink Carta 1300 screen , adding more responsiveness and clarity . + Large and clear display + Switched to USB-C + Comfortable reading experience - More expensive than previous models - Lacks wireless charging - Limited to Amazon 's store Buy it if ? You source your material from the Kindle Store : If you do n't need to sideload an existing private library , the Paperwhite makes it easy to purchase content from the Kindle Store. ? Value for money matters : While you can get a cheaper Kindle , the Paperwhite offers a good balance between price and feature set . Do n't buy it if ? You have your own ebook library : It 's easy enough to sideload ebooks , but one of the most common @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ jump through to access. ? You 'd prefer something cheaper : If you 're on a smaller budget , opting for a 6-inch ereader will save you some cash . The bottom line The Paperwhite manages to balance size , feature set and price remarkably well for an ereader , making it the ideal choice for most users keen on a Kindle . We 're big fans of the Kindle Paperwhite here at TechRadar as it hits the sweet spot in terms of size , feature set and price . It 's by no means ' cheap ' , but it consistently gets a discount when Amazon has a big sale on , meaning you get good bang for your hard-earned buck . It 's also one of the best Kindles to travel with as it gets you IPX8 waterproofing , so you can read in the bath or by the pool and , if it happens to take an accidental dunk , it will survive for up to 30 minutes in 1.5m of water . You will , however , need to keep it away @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ USB-C port . While 16GB of storage is standard these days for most mainstream ereaders , we think that 's plenty to hold thousands of ebooks . If you prefer to listen rather than read , that kind of storage will handle hundreds of audiobooks too . Another reason we like the Paperwhite , particularly if you 've got subscriptions to Kindle Unlimited or Audible , you can access their entire catalogues directly from the device . We found that the Paperwhite is ideal for users who already part of Amazon 's vast ecosystem and it save you money on content purchases as the Kindle Store is usually cheaper than other online bookstores . During our testing , we also liked the Paperwhite 's adjustable screen light , that can go from cold hues ( white/blue ) to warmer tones ( yellow ) to make reading in the evening or nighttime more comfortable . Moreover , we found the 300ppi screen to be sharp and the faux paper look is definitely easier on the eyes than reading on a phone or iPad . The current Paperwhite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ brand-spanking new anymore , but it 's the best Paperwhite yet . With a 6.8-inch screen , it 's bigger than any of its 6-inch predecessors and it got a better battery too , so you can easily read for up to 10 weeks within charges . It was also the first ereader to get an USB-C port for charging and file transfers , setting the standard for other brands to follow . That said , the Paperwhite is no longer listed as available in some markets where Amazon operates , and we think it could be because the online retail giant might be readying to release an updated version . - Screen may be too small for some - Not the most comfortable to hold - Reliance on Amazon services may frustrate Buy it if ... ? Size does n't matter : The 6-inch screen could be small for some users , but if that 's not an issue , the base Kindle can slip into any bag , even into a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : It 's one of the cheapest ereaders on the market , especially when discounted on Amazon . Do n't buy it if ? Screen size is important : If you use larger font sizes when reading , you 'll be turning pages often on the base Kindle , which could eat into the battery life. ? You want a secure hold : The rear of the Kindle is smooth , which can make it slippery to hold for long reading sessions -- buying a case separately might solve this problem if you 're willing to spend . The bottom line It might be small , but it is mighty , and very affordable too . If you just want a basic ereader for daily use , this will do very nicely . The base model Kindle is no slouch , and the upgrades to the 2022 edition have made it arguably the best bargain-priced ereader ever . Keep an eye on that price , too , because Amazon loves to put this ereader on sale whenever it throws a Prime Day party . That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ online retail giant 's site as rumors indicate that it could be replaced . If you can find it at other retailers , though , it 's a great little ereader -- it might even be possible to purchase secondhand . The screen on the 2022 Kindle is just as sharp as every other Kindle display -- a full 300 pixels per inch ( to compare , the mighty iPad Pro is only 265 ppi ) . We think that was the best upgrade Amazon could give its entry-level ereader , but keep in mind the screen size ( 6 inches ) remains the same and we think that some users might find it to be too small , especially if they like to keep the font size bigger . This means you 'll be turning pages quicker and that can eat into the battery life , which was about four weeks during our testing . You 'll want to keep it away from the pool , bath or the kitchen sink though , as the base Kindle is not waterproof . Otherwise , you still get 16GB @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ton of books , magazines , and even some audiobooks . We 'd also recommend this Kindle for kids -- Amazon has sleepcovers that make this very kid-friendly . It 's also a good consideration for students , at schools and universities , as it 's an affordable ereader that can support some text book files , plus it 's tough enough to be thrown into a backpack with other school supplies . ? You really want a color Kindle : Well , it 's the only one and it ai n't bad at all . If you 're already embedded into Amazon 's ecosystem , it 's arguably the best option. ? Battery life matters : It 's not just the screen that 's the headline here , Amazon has upped the battery life on its latest Kindles too . Do n't buy it if ? Reading in color is n't important : You can save a lot of money if you do n't read a lot of comics or graphic novels -- monochrome ereaders are cheaper. ? You want a cheaper option : As @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more bang for buck from something like the Kobo Libra Colour . The bottom line It 's expensive , even for a color ereader , but if you really love a Kindle , it 's a brilliant upgrade . However , there are cheaper 7-inch color ereaders that offer more features . Amazon is pretty late to the color ereader party and , even though its first color Kindle ran into some teething issues at launch ( some users complained about discoloration on the screen ) , our reviewer loved the Kindle Colorsoft , saying that monochrome Kindles now " seem like a step back " . In fact , he even says it 's the " fastest , smoothest ereader " he 's used to date , and that 's saying something . Unlike a lot of other ereaders , scrolling and zooming did n't cause any ghosting , which could indicate that Amazon has improved the refresh rate for the screen . What 's really great is Amazon has added waterproofing to the Colorsoft , so it 's also perfect for traveling with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , want to be careful not to expose it to salt water as that could corrode the open USB-C port . During our testing , we also found the battery life to absolutely excellent -- lasting up to 12 weeks , although that will change depending on how much you use the device and how bright you like the screen . The only disappointment was the build . Our reviewer was n't quite enthused by the fact that , for its price , the Colorsoft does n't look premium enough . That might be a deal breaker for some readers looking to upgrade their old Kindle , but there 's no denying it is expensive compared to its competition . For example , the Kobo Libra Colour is slightly cheaper and offers stylus support to boot , which the Colorsoft does n't offer . - Few writing features for journaling and doodles - You ca n't write in the margins of books - Not many ' write on ' books available yet Buy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ screen : The Scribe has hands-down the best screen an avid reader could ask for -- it 's bright , with adjustable lighting and it 's large too , if you do n't mind the 10-inch size. ? You use MS Word and PDF files regularly : It 's one of the few digital note takers that natively supports Word documents and PDF files for handwritten edits , then export back to your computer . Do n't buy it if ? You 're not much of a writer : If you are n't going to take full advantage of the Scribe 's writing capabilities , this is an expensive ereader. ? You 'd prefer a cheaper note taker : While it 's priced competitively , there are now smaller digital note takers that will save you money and allow you to jot notes or doodle . The bottom line It 's a hefty investment that looks just as premium , plus the stylus input is the best we 've experienced . But if you are n't going to take full advantage of the writing suite on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to spend on an ereader . The Kindle Scribe is an amazing device when you realize all that it can do . It 's a full-fledged Kindle with the biggest and brightest reading screen , but it does n't sacrifice that great Kindle sharpness , so text still looks super crisp . If you like reading on a screen the size of an iPad but want Kindle comfort , the Kindle Scribe is your best bet . Where it really shines is in its writing experience . While we think a reMarkable 2 of the reMarkable Paper Pro are better digital note takers as they were designed for that sole purpose , we found the writing experience on the Scribe to be the smoothest in this category . And that 's enhanced by how wonderfully bright the screen is . Speaking of writing , Amazon has steadily been adding to the Scribe 's writing features , and we think the native support for MS Word documents might sway several users away from an iPad or Samsung Galaxy Tab for editing . It 's the same for PDFs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when it came to filling out and signing documents by hand . While you ca n't scribble notes in the margins of all ebooks on the Scribe , Amazon has set up a special section of the Kindle book store with books you can write on if you own this e-paper tablet . The selection is mostly crossword puzzles and semi-blank daily journals , but it 's growing and shows a lot of potential . The Scribe may seem pricey for a Kindle , but it 's a great deal for a writing tablet this size , and Amazon does love to put Kindle devices on sale . If you want to take notes , especially if your textbooks are available for Kindle , this is the only Kindle to buy . + Bigger screen area than predecessor + Longer battery life + USB-C is convenient - Wireless charging is finicky - High price - Slow page turn speed Buy it if ? Wireless charging is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the only ereader that offers wireless charging. ? You listen to a lot of audiobooks : With 32GB of storage , there 's plenty of room for thousands of audiobooks , which typically have larger file sizes . Do n't buy it if ? You do n't need too many bells and whistles : If you think wireless charging is superfluous and 32GB storage is too much , you can save cash by opting for the standard Paperwhite instead. ? You want value for money : Despite having extra features , the wireless charging can be finicky to use and there are more responsive ereaders out there . The bottom line The extra storage you get on the Signature Edition will be handy for frequent travellers , but the wireless charging feature does n't always work well and can be superfluous . So there is n't a lot of bang for buck here . If you love audiobooks along with your reading and you can splurge a bit , the Kindle Paperwhite Signature edition is worth considering . For a bit more money than the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which is handy as audiobook files are larger than ebooks . A long , unabridged book is usually between 100-200MB of storage space , so having tons of tomes or podcast episodes can add up quickly . Having this extra space means the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is a great vacation and travel device as you definitely wo n't run out of reading ( or listening ) material , no matter how long you 're away for . This Kindle Paperwhite 's party trick , though , is that it can also charge wirelessly . If you have a bedside charger that you like , you can just pop it on overnight , although we found that this kind of charging can be finicky to do -- during our testing , the positioning was quite hit and miss and the device would n't charge . That said , the Signature Edition can get you up to 10 weeks of battery life on a single charge , and we think you can even get more if you are n't a voracious reader . Otherwise , this is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the same sharp 6.8-inch display . It 's not quite as bright and premium as the Kindle Oasis -- which is now an aging device from 2019 and has been discontinued in some markets -- but it 's still a brilliant device if you want some extra bells and whistles . - No cloud file transfer support - Dated , plastic design - 6-inch screen can be small for some Buy it if ? You want the latest in e-paper screen tech : This little ereader is the first mainstream device to debut the next-gen E Ink Carta 1300 screen , making it more responsive and adding a bit more contrast for better sharpness. ? You want an ereader to go the distance : While most ereaders have a lifespan of 6-10 years , this one can be repaired to extend that -- from its motherboard to screen and battery . Do n't buy it if ? You want a larger screen : It 's another 6-inch ereader , and that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ font sizes. ? You want more features : If you prefer a color ereader or want stylus input , you 'll need to look elsewhere . The bottom line When it comes to 6-inch entry-level models , the Clara BW is the best you can get because of the screen it uses . It 's the sharpest we 've seen yet and performs well . The first mainstream ereader to get the latest in E Ink screen technology , the Kobo Clara BW boasts a 6-inch Carta 1300 display ( all the Kindles on this list use the E Ink Carta 1200 screen ) . In our testing we found that to translate into a faster , more responsive display than any of the Kindles listed here ( they use the E Ink Carta 1200 screen ) , plus it adds more contrast that makes it a lot easier to read anything on the monochrome screen . It 's other party trick that no Kindle possesses is that it 's repairable -- Kobo has partnered with iFixit to provide both spare parts and instructions on how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the device further and keep it out of the landfill . In fact , 80% of this tablet 's chassis is recycled plastic , and the packaging is fully bio-degradable , including the ink used to print on it . Essentially competing with both the base Kindle and the Kindle Paperwhite , the Clara BW gets you IPX8 waterproofing and 16GB of onboard storage , with battery life similar to the base Kindle . The latter was the only disappointment we had when we tested this excellent mid-range ereader -- we had hoped Kobo would use a bigger battery in its 2024 upgrade to the Clara line . While you can use the Kindles to borrow from select public libraries , this option is only available to US customers . Kobo 's partnership with Libby , however , expands that to other regions thanks to the baked-in OverDrive support . If you read long-form web articles offline via Pocket , you can access these on the Clara BW by signing into your account . And we think both these features add value to the device . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only play those purchased from the Kobo Store or downloaded via a Kobo Plus subscription . Choosing the best Kindle for your needs will firstly be determined by your budget -- if it 's really tight , you 'll probably need to opt for the base Kindle model .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks a V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate structure. Instead, it uses 'rules him out of playing' which does not involve a causer causing a causee to move or prevent from an action in the manner described by the construction's properties. The phrase 'rules him out of playing' is more about exclusion from participation rather than causing or preventing an action through specific means.

Holloway takes charge of his first league game this weekend ( Image : Andy Crook ) After two 2-1 cup victories over the course of the last week , Milton Keynes Dons are the next challenge for Swindon Town . Ian Holloway has a " fully fit , raring to go group " ahead of Saturday 's trip to Buckinghamshire and many players will be in the frame making their case to why they should be in the squad . So , how could Town set up ? Formation : 3-4-3 This setup is the same as the win against Colchester and I think the manager will stick with it despite going to a four back against Tottenham Hotspur U21s . Three in defence will match MK and could give the Robins the best chance of keeping their attack quiet . Goalkeeper : Jack Bycroft Daniel Barden made his first appearance under the new boss on Tuesday and made a crucial save to keep Town in the game . However , it probably @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his number one spot . Defence : Will Wright , Harrison Minturn , Miguel Freckleton With no Grant Hall , I think it will be an unchanged back three from the Colchester United win . Wright and Minturn were great on that Saturday and the reason I think Freckleton will find his way into the starting team is because Holloway 's stance at Tunmise Sobowale at centre-half is not clear . Wingbacks : George Cox and Tunmise Sobowale Rosaire Longelo is a doubt after coming off with ten minutes to go on Tuesday with cramp , so that rules him out of playing from the get-go . He played most of the Tottenham game which probably meant that he would n't be starting at Stadium MK anyway , so Cox should start . The right wingback spot is very difficult to call but I think Sobowale will keep his place . I was surprised to see Joel McGregor dropped in the FA Cup tie but especially as he came on for Jeff King with 20 minutes to go a few days back . On the other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the idea of Ollie 's choice at wingback . Midfield : Ollie Clarke and Gavin Kilkenny The Nigel Eady County Ground witnessed the old Clarke on Saturday and it was great to watch . Kilkenny also did well and the duo were so hardworking , brilliant and determined in the middle - so why change it ? Forwards : Harry Smith , Kabongo Tshimanga , Sean McGurk Smith is an easy pick as he is the most in-form striker Swindon have at the moment . Tshimanga scored on the weekend and brought a lot of energy so he should start , but the next spot is up for grabs . Despite playing the whole game on Tuesday , McGurk is my prediction . The former Crystal Palace manager seems to adore the ability the forward brings and with a goal and an assist in the last game , he 's hard to ignore .

Dane Scarlett chases the ball in the first half ( Image : Steve Edmunds ) OXFORD United 's search for an elusive first away win of the season goes on after the U 's suffered a one-goal defeat at Watford . Vakoun Bayo scored the only goal of the game nine minutes into the second half , tucking away the rebound after seeing an initial effort saved . Des Buckingham made three changes to the side which beat Hull City on Tuesday night , as Sam Long , Peter Kioso and Ruben Rodrigues came in for the injured Ben Nelson , Hidde ter Avest and Idris El Mizouni respectively . The opening 20 minutes were relatively short on goalmouth action , with Greg Leigh firing a 20-yard shot over in the opening stages . The first half burst into life at its midway point , beginning with a penalty call turned down for United . James Morris tugged @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his way into the box , but there was arguably not enough contact to warrant the awarding of a spot kick . A rapid counter-attack from the Hornets then saw Bayo look to charge through onto a loose touch , but Jamie Cumming was out quickly to pounce on the ball . Tyler Goodrham then had a go with an ambitious 25-yard strike left of centre , but his low right-footed effort never really troubled Daniel Bachmann in the Watford goal . With eight minutes to go until the break , a lovely move from the U 's saw Rodrigues slide Kioso into the area , and the wing back then played a ball across the face of goal , however Dane Scarlett was unable to stretch enough to apply the finish . Edo Kayembe looked a class act in midfield for the Hornets , and he demonstrated that well when he dummied Goodrham and then shot from 25 yards , but the effort flew off target . There was a huge let-off for United when a sloppy ball out from Cumming aimed to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the midfielder took a heavy touch which then allowed Cumming to atone for his mistake by charging out and sweeping up . As three minutes were added on , a first-time volley from Imran Louza was deflected off Elliott Moore for a corner . Giorgi Chakvetadze swung the set piece in , and Ciaron Brown had to be alert to head the ball clear from underneath his own crossbar . The Hornets almost created an opening within the first 60 seconds of the second half , as Louza had time to play a searching ball from deep for Festy Ebosele , who was seemingly in front of Kioso , but the U 's defender recovered extremely well and did enough to put off Ebosele . Watford did take the lead though nine minutes into the second period . Kwado Baah crossed for Bayo , who was denied well by Cumming , but the rebound fell kindly for the striker , who forced another stop out of Cumming , however this time the ball squirmed into the back of the net . Buckingham made a double @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Mark Harris for McEachran and Scarlett respectively . The Hornets were in control though and looking for a second goal , and after a spot of head tennis in the United box , Ryan Porteous nodded over . Tuesday night 's hero against the Tigers , ter Avest , replaced Kioso with 68 minutes on the clock , as Buckingham again looked to freshen things up . Dutchman ter Avest was involved straight away , looking to pounce on a loose ball with a poked effort from close range , but Bachmann was able to hold onto the effort . Chakvetadze was then invited to bring the ball forward and his effort from 25 yards was pushed over by Cumming . More heroics came from Cumming when Yasser Larouci crossed for Bayo , whose first-time strike was denied by the feet of Cumming . Buckingham rolled his dice again with five minutes to go , introducing Will Goodwin for Rodrigues , as the former partnered Harris up front in a 3-5-2 set -up . Goodrham won a free kick on the byline @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two minutes to go , and from the set piece , the ball fell to Harris , who had a lot to do with his back to goal , and he sent a close-range effort just over . Five minutes were added on , and deep into them , Elliott Moore had a header deflect out for a corner , but the set piece came to nothing , as the U 's saw their search for a first away win go on for at least one more game .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'take all the guesswork out of cooking' does not involve a causee NP object participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

It 's official . Air fryers have become a British kitchen staple , with 51 per cent of UK households owning one . But just when you thought these hot commodities could n't get any hotter , along come the best dual air fryers to prove otherwise . Dual-basket air fryers , with twice the cooking capacity of single-drawer designs and able to cook two ( or sometimes more ) dishes at once , are ideal for lively kitchen . " Dual air fryers can significantly reduce cooking time , since you can make entire meals at once rather than cooking in batches , " saysClare Andrews , author of TheUltimate Air Fryer Cookbook . " You can cook different dishes simultaneously , even if they require different temperatures or times , " the expert adds . " This is perfect for multitasking during meal prep . " The only problem ? There 's a seemingly never-ending list of these handy energy-saving appliances to choose from . To help separate the great from the good , I 've tried and tested the latest dual air fryers from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more . I 've included options for small kitchens , large families and those on a budget . You can read my in-depth reviews below , followed by answers to some frequently asked questions . But if you 're in a hurry , here 's a quick look at my top five : The number one thing to consider is the cooking capacity . It needs to be big enough to cook for your whole family . Dual air fryers range from around eight to 11 litres in capacity , usually split evenly across the two baskets , although some have a single large basket with an easy-to-add-and-remove divider in the middle , allowing you to use it as one big drawer for a large dish like a roast chicken . Price-wise , you can pick up a decent two-drawer air fryer for around ? 75 . Premium models , with multi-use zones and high-spec cooking functions , can cost up to ? 270 . Consider whether you can ' match cook @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time and temperature . Or whether you can ' sync finish ' , which ensures dishes are ready to be eaten simultaneously . Other considerations include the size and weight : these can be large appliances . And if energy saving is on your mind , double-check the amount of power each model uses . Our thorough , real-world tests will always help you find the best product at the best price . No manufacturer ever sees copy before publication and we do not accept payment in exchange for favourable reviews . Visit our Who We Are page to learn more . Rebecca tests the Corosi , Instant and Salter air fryers We tested dual basket air fryers over the course of three weeks , making the same dishes ( homemade chips , fish fingers , chicken and roasted veg ) in each , to see how the results fared across the board . For fairness , any small amount of olive oil poured over the chips and chicken was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how evenly the air fryer cooked the food , we also judged each model on its design , functionality , speed , and how easy it is to use and clean . We then weighed this up against the price . So , without further ado , here are the best dual air fryers , starting with our favourite ... Aside from being the most difficult model to take out of the box ( it took me 15 minutes to grapple with the appliance and prize it out of its safely-sealed packaging ) , this 7.6-litre double air fryer scoops the top spot for a number of reasons . For starters , it looks smart and the control panel is easy to use , making air-frying meals simple . Secondly , you wo n't have to pull the drawers out and risk losing any heat as the viewing windows , which can be lit up , lets you view your food while it cooks . And thirdly , the cooking trays , where you place your food , come with a handy silver pull for easy removal and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with six cooking functions , the Instant air fryer can preheat quickly and all food was cooked evenly and to my liking . Thanks to the clever EvenCrisp air flow technology , chips were golden and crisp without being dry , fish fingers were crunchy on the outside and still juicy in the middle and the chicken and veg were roasted all the way through in less than 20 minutes . I used different programmes to cook my chicken and veg , but the ' Sync Finish ' button meant my food was ready at the same time . Compared to the average electric oven , which draws at least 2000W , the Instant Vortex draws just 1,450W-1,700W , costing no more than 42p an hour ( and you 're likely to run it for a fraction of that ) . It 's small , too . This sharp design did n't eat into my limited worktop space . Aside from the slightly smaller-than-expected 3.8-litre baskets and the fact it was a mini workout to unpack , no other negatives come to mind . Instant has pulled it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Along with the budget-friendly price tag , one of the first things you might notice about the touch-screen Daewoo SDA2616GEis how light it is . At 7kg , this felt a lot easier to lift out of its cardboard box and packaging compared to other weightier air fryers , such as the Ninja Double Stack or the Salter Fuzion . This could help to seal the deal for anyone who will need to lift it in and out of the kitchen cupboard . Weight aside , this basic eight-programme air fryer was easy to use and performed well during testing . The ' sync finish ' mode helped to put dinner on the table at the same time . My fish fingers were crunchy on the outside and fully cooked on the inside in 20 minutes . My veg and chicken thighs were roasted all the way through . The home-made chips were evenly cooked after a few shakes , but the preset ' fries ' programme took around eight minutes longer than the Salter Fuzion to dish up the goods . Unlike many of the other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ able to ' match cook ' each basket . You also wo n't be able to see inside the basket as the food cooks . This is n't a complete turn-off , but it just means you 'll need to open the drawers to see how the food is cooking and give them a good shake . The good news ? Thanks to the clever ' turn ' warning , this is n't something you 'll forget to do . Simplicity and style are at the heart of the Cosori Dual Air Fryer . Need a reminder to flip your food halfway through cooking ? The handy ' Shake ' button on the touch-screen digital dash prompts you to do so . Want to preheat your air fryer so it 's ready to cook food at the perfect temperature every time ? Five out of the six programmes come with an adjustable preheat feature , which ensures food is air-fried in a more controlled environment . Backed with 1,750W of power , this kitchen gadget is user-friendly and quick . It air-fried my chicken and chips in around @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the night before in less than 10 . Again , the ' sync finish ' meant I could dish up meals at the same time , while the viewing windows let me see the progress . But what really puts the icing on the cake is the fact this two-drawer air fryer comes with an additional stainless steel baking rack , five skewers you can cook kebabs on and a skewer rack to hold them in place . This air fryer would have clinched the top spot if it was n't for its large footprint . It would be too big to keep out on my worktop longterm . The amount of cardboard packaging felt a little unnecessary , too , considering all other brands managed to safely ship their air fryers without going OTT . But if you 're not short on space , have a big recycling bin and want multiple dishes on the table and fast , the Cosori is well worth a look . Coming with a removable compartment divider , the Salter Fuzion Dual Air Fryer gives you the best of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of roasted veg in 20 minutes in the eight-litre basket using the ' match cook ' mode . Then the next , I inserted the divider to air fry fish fingers and chicken thighs simultaneously in their separate four-litre compartments . I 'm a real stickler for eating meals together . So the handy ' Sync ' cook button , meant both dishes were on the table at the same time . Backed with a reasonable 1,700 Watts of power , this appliance heats up quickly . I found this out after using the ' chips ' programme to cook potatoes , which delivered crispy-on-the-outside and fluffy-in-the-middle fries in just 20 minutes . Other noteworthy features include the light-up viewing window so you can watch your food turn from raw to ready and the eight preset programmes which helped me take all the guesswork out of cooking . Its downsides ? Apart from its large size and basket , which might prove too chunky for small homes ( or small sinks , when it comes to cleaning ) , there 's no specific ' frozen ' programme for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ come with a distinct new smell . Before using it , Salter recommends running the air fryer without food for around 10 minutes to help the aroma dissipate -- and I can confirm that does work . This high-powered air fryer is essentially a mini ( but mighty ) oven . Kitted out with 12 different cooking configurations , it would probably be quicker to list the things this two-drawer air fryer ca n't do . But even then , I 'm struggling to think of any . Along with the usual dual cooking baskets , this touch-screen appliance includes two small mesh trays , two small roasting trays and one large roasting tray -- all of which can be stored away beneath the cooking compartments . Like the Salter Fuzion Dual Air Fryer , you can remove the middle partition of this machine and this gives you 11 litres of cooking capacity to play around with . From family-sized meals fit for 10 people , ( yes , really ! ) to reheating leftovers , if you ever find yourself without an oven , this air fryer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ choice is great . However , at first , I found the air fryer a little overwhelming . It took a while to play around with all the configurations and cooking functions . In the end , I used the air fry , reheat and turbo cook functions to cook fish fingers and veg in the baskets and chicken thighs on the small roasting trays . This left my food crispy and cooked . Using the fries preset , I placed my chips on the small mesh trays , which left them golden and deliciously crunchy in a speedy 20 minutes . On the downside , Breville 's cooking baskets come with a removable basket handle which you 'll need to clip on and off so you can shake the food and get it in and out of the fryer . This helps to maximise cooking capacity . However , in reality , this just gives you another job to do . With an RRP of ? 229 , this air fryer is costly , but it does do everything ( and more ) you 'd want from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ devout Ninja stan who 's short on space , the easy-to-use Double Stack means you wo n't have to sacrifice your worktop to get the desired dual-drawer effect . This air fryer ( quite literally ) takes your cooking skills to new heights , as the two 4.75-litre baskets are positioned one on top of the other with a ' crisper plate ' and a silver ' stacked meal rack ' inside each basket . This means you can cook four different things at once . I placed my protein ( fish fingers and chicken ) on the silver racks and my carbs ( homemade chips and veg ) on the non-stick plates below , set the timer and temperature for each basket then clicked the ' sync ' button and ' double stack pro ' button , which you 'll need to use if you 're cooking on two levels within one drawer . In 20 minutes my chicken , fish and veg were ready to be eaten , but the chips below were unevenly cooked . After putting them on for an extra six minutes and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ finally cooked evenly . This Ninja is said to use 55 per cent less energy than an oven , which is great , and the drawers , racks and crisper plates are all dishwasher safe . Aside from the costly ? 270 price tag , the only two irritations I have with this gadget include the relatively loud fan noise it makes when cooking and the multiple shakes you 'll have to give the baskets . Also in this range Ninja is by far the most popular air fryer brand , so it 's worth mentioning the alternatives in case you find this one sold out . It 's available in a smaller 7.6-litre size for ? 229 , or in a 9.5-litre size for ? 290 , the latter coming with a digital cooking probe . If worktop space is n't an issue , consider the cult favourite Ninja Foodi MAX in either its 9.5-litre or 7.6-litre sizes or the newly released Ninja Foodi FlexDrawer , which allows you to choose between one big ? ? 10.4-litre drawer or two 5.2-litre baskets . It may @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which is essentially a mini oven , steamer and air fryer in one . If you like the taste of grilled food , the Tefal Easy Fry Dual Air Fryer & Grill is the best option . Coming with a removable grill grid only suitable for the first drawer , you can bring barbecue-style cooking inside . I used this function to help cook my chicken and it delivered delightedly smokey thighs complete with grill lines in 12 minutes . Another stand-out feature is its different-sized drawers . Instead of even-sized basket drawers or one big drawer , Tefal 's air fryer comes with a 5.2-litre basket and a 3.1-litre basket . This means you can cook more of one thing than the other . So you 'll have the option to place a large chicken on one side and some roasted veg in the smaller compartment . Or heat solo portions in less time . The shake reminder halfway through cooking meant my chips were evenly cooked , my fish fingers were crunchy and my roasted veg was heated all the way through . You @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ finish at the same time . But what you ca n't do is match the cooking from one drawer to the other . While this is n't a sticking point , it will mean you 'll need to press a few more buttons than other models . You might feel like you 're seeing double as Lakeland 's Dual Basket Air Fryer looks pretty similar to Salter 's . But there are a few key differences . For starters , Lakeland 's eight-litre option is kitted out with two separate four-litre drawers . So , you wo n't be able to cook a large chicken in it , but it has ample capacity for the likes of wings and veg or fish fingers and homemade chips . The dual drawer design also makes the baskets easier to fit ( and clean ) in a standard-size sink , as they 're not so cumbersome . The eight programmed modes are easy to use . However , it 's a bit clunky as you 'll have to click the preset button multiple times to scroll to the programme you want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ preset programmes do what they say on the box : air fry your food . The baskets needed a few shakes , but in around 25 minutes my chips were golden in colour , my fish fingers were crispy without having a dreaded soggy bottom and my veg and chicken were cooked all the way through . I clicked the ' synchronisation end function ' to help dish up both plates at once , and despite cooking my chicken and veg on different programmes and at different times , they were ready to be eaten simultaneously . What 's really great about this dual-basket air fryer is the fact it 's silent -- seriously ! I even downloaded a sound-level app to confirm if my suspicions were correct . At under 59 decibels , this appliance operates at the same sound level as a fridge . However , just be aware that it draws 2,700 Watts , so costs a bit more to run than your average dual air fryer . The eight-litre Tower Vortx Vizion is the best option for small kitchens or those with limited @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and while you 'll have to leave around 10cm of breathing space behind the appliance so air can circulate , it 's more convenient to have on your worktop than a larger design . Although the Vortx Vizion does n't feel as high spec as the Cosori or Instant , and unlike the Ninja , it ca n't reach temperatures beyond 210 ? C , it still does a good job of air frying food . Backed by more than a reasonable 2,460W , it heats up quickly . I watched through the viewing windows as my fish fingers turned from frozen to golden in under 15 minutes and my chicken thighs had a golden brown coating without being dry inside . The roasted veg was cooked within 12 minutes and although my chips took a bit of shaking to get an even brown coating , they were ready to be devoured in 24 minutes . After a few button pushes , it 's also relatively easy to use . Instead of a ' Sync ' button , Tower 's appliance comes with a ' Meal ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time , while the ' Dual ' button synchronises and applies all settings from drawer one to drawer two . Of all the air fryers on this list , this was the most basic air fryer to use . Every button says what it does . From fries and wings to seafood and roast , you wo n't need to set aside much time at all to understand how to use this gadget . After cleaning out the baskets and plates , it took six button taps to get both the 4.5-litre double drawers to work their magic on my fish fingers and chips . Powered with 2,000W , and after a fair few shakes , it took around 28 minutes in total to get an even golden coating on my chips . My chicken and veg took 20 minutes to become light brown in colour .

Thankfully , most dual air fryers come with instruction booklets and manuals that state their capacity . " My advice would be do n't overfill the basket , " Andrews adds . " It 's tempting , I know , to get as much food as you can into the drawer . But if you overfill the basket , the food ca n't benefit from the air fryer 's airflow , as it needs space to cook evenly . " Noted ! |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'got a kick out of performing' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it expresses enjoyment derived from an activity, which is not a characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Violent Femmes ' self-titled debut is one of the most essential American indie rock records of the early 80s , but it 's not the only album by the band you must have in your collection , argues Cal Cashin , as he re-examines its unfairly overlooked follow-up Hallowed Ground 40 years on Violent Femmes self-titled debut album remains a core text of the teenage angst curriculum . It is a perfect document of that very particular feeling of experiencing love , lust and loss for the first time , and it 's still one of the high watermarks of jittery American college rock . It was conceived on the streets of Milwaukee , Wisconsin . Gordon Gano ( vocals , guitar ) , Brian Ritchie ( bass ) , and Victor DeLorenzo ( a single snare drum ) did not hone their craft in the pubs and the clubs of their hometown , but instead busked their way to a record deal . You can hear this in the music -- Gano 's voice is snotty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ above the wild city chaos . At this time , the band were an authentically weird group of misfits , which only served to load the simple songs of the debut with charm and character ; Gano is front and centre , with his geeky , affected poet persona , a crude Midwest Jonathan Richman , whilst Ritchie , like , twice his height , and DeLorenzo , like , twice his age , look like they 're part of different groups entirely . The album 's lifeblood runs right through the veins of American indie rock , with artists from Pixies and Half Japanese to Pavement and Car Seat Headrest taking clear influence -- for whole scenes , genres , it is the blueprint . But very few bands really sound much like Violent Femmes at all , do they ? Obviously , very few singers sound like Gordon Gano. 19 years of age at the time of recording the debut , he had already developed the bleating voice of a wizened old goat . But you also feel like very few of their contemporaries would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ human voice and bare-minimum acoustic instruments -- especially in an age where indie groups were starting to shroud themselves in reverb , and pop was reaching true maximalist excess . It 's this bravery that would dictate the band 's next move , an abrupt left turn from the surprise hit of their debut , as sharp as any in the history of indie rock . Hallowed Ground was released 13 months and one day after the debut , and it arrived as the absolute antithesis to the fizzy pop rushes of its predecessor . Brooding and gloomy , it is a dark album that sees Gano channel the same adolescent angst as before into writhing tantrums and thunderstorms . They negate the sophomore slump by tapping into a morose vein of Americana : " It 's of utmost importance , we 're dealing with a volatile substance , " goes the chorus of ' Never Tell ' A brief listen to both records might suggest that nationwide tours and a few months of very low-level fame had tipped the Femmes over the edge , but the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ songs concurrently with their debut -- so this is best viewed as a yin-yang , an expression of the duality of the young man . Joyous teenage hedonism , and fearful , deep Christian guilt . The tentacular influence of Christianity is inescapable on Hallowed Ground . It was unmentioned on their debut -- save for Gano " patiently pray , pray , praying " for sex on ' Please Do Not Go ' -- but on this album the Violent Femmes , are a fire-breathing Christian country outfit . To contemporary audiences , this left turn was unexpected and off-putting . Some saw the Femmes ' pivot to Christian country as the ultimate ironic joke . And other charitable readings of the group 's new direction saw it as the ultimate punk rebellion , at a time of great saturation and fragmentation in punk rock -- this camp includes Femmes bassist Ritchie , an atheist who initially wanted Gano 's songwriting to forego the almighty altogether , but eventually got a kick out of performing these unexpected spirituals to madding crowds . Gano , however , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ serious as your life about God , Jesus and everything else on this record . It 's this authentic , red-eyed fear of God that makes lines like , " I stood right up in the heart of hell , I never tell " and " kiss your mother good night , and remember that God saves " , hit like a freight train , when they could just as easily fly by as ironic verbal slurry . Not every song on Hallowed Ground is deep Americana cut from the cloth of the more vengeful readings of Christian tomes , but it is certainly the numbers of this nature that have the greatest impact , and see the Violent Femmes really develop their sound into something else entirely . ' Country Death Song ' is the opener , and possibly the best example of this , a scornful murder ballad , in which a deep evil resides . Gano 's narrator , a poverty-stricken father , is starving and unable to provide for his family , and musing on ways to end the infernal suffering of their lives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he must kill his beloved daughters in cold blood for a chance of salvation . He pushes the youngest into a deep well , and upon realising the barbarism of his sin , hangs himself in his barn . It 's accompanied by a ramshackle rhythm section , as DiLorenzo and Ritchie provide a jugband stomp as the backdrop , and Gano conjures up a hellstorm on the banjo . ' Country Death Song ' is followed by a wonderfully morbid , cinematic interlude , a skittish morbid patter song called ' I Hear The Rain ' , driven onwards briskly by a cartoonishly dingy group vocal chant . It works as an ample aperitif for the album 's centrepiece , ' Never Tell ' , and ensures that Hallowed Ground 's first side is , by a distance , the best side of music in the band 's discography . ' Never Tell ' taps into the same evils bubbling away in the underbelly of America as ' Country Death Song ' , as Gano conjures a brazen narrative about cycles of abuse . A winding and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blues . All crescendos and catharses , Gano 's vocals are harrowing and unhinged , and the scratching , scraping guitars are awe-striking -- a maudlin aria of biblical magnitude . Meanwhile , the title track begins with a reading from Hosea 9:7 : " The prophet is a fool , the spiritual man is mad / For the multitude of thy iniquity / And the great hatred ... " before the group lumber into a taut and agitated number about keeping faith during a nuclear apocalypse . It has a delightfully slinky piano piece , and Gano 's holler here is particularly petrified . However , with very mixed results , there are songs of a very different nature on Hallowed Ground . After all , this is Gano 's first straight-faced Christian writing , and he looks to balance the unrelenting darkness of the album 's opening three track run with touches of divinity elsewhere . ' It 's Gon na Rain ' is actually a delight ; a retelling of Noah 's Arc in the style of Jonathan Richman , that revels in some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Gano makes the opening line sound so natural : " Now who ( who ? ) do you think I am ? I built this ark with Japheth , Shen and Ham . " The way the album ends with a call and response of " 40 days and 40 nights ! / it 's gon na rain ! " is also extremely fitting , and a charming conclusion . However , some of the content in between the monolithic rural-gothic opening run , and the palette-cleansing stomp of ' It 's Gon na Rain ' leaves a lot to be desired . ' Jesus Walking On Water ' does n't quite have the charm of ' It 's Gon na Rain ' , and is one of the rare tracks where even I , the most ardent defender of Gano 's whine , find his bleating a bit too annoying . ' Sweet Misery Blues ' , definitively an offcut from the debut , and ' I Know It 's True But I 'm Sorry To Say ' are nice enough ditties , but shrivel when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ darker cuts . But the worst number here is ' Black Girls ' , which was surely not fine at the time , and is even worse now . A charitable reading of ' Black Girls ' would be that Gano adopts a racist , sexist persona to highlight the ridiculousness of these worldviews , but the snarl of : " I dig the Black girls/so much more than the white girls " , just churns the stomach . Even though this song sees a foetal John Zorn lay down some fantastic frenetic saxophone , the whole thing feels schlocky with Gano 's worst vocals and lyrics at the fore . This flurry of filler means that Hallowed Ground is an imperfect album , a lesser record than the streamlined , fat free debut . The highs , however , are phenomenal . It is a remarkable and brave follow-up to a bona fide classic album , and while it is understandable that it slipped through the cracks , it really should n't have . Its 40th anniversary reissue is the perfect time to take stock , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , about the thrills , perils , highs and lows of adolescence in 80s America . A vinyl reissue of Violent Femmes ' Hallowed Ground is released today ( 8 November ) |

Kamala Harris 's dreams of becoming president were wrecked by voters who wanted the Democrats out ( Image : Getty ) Labour will face the same fury that drove the Democrats out of office and handed the White House to Donald Trump if they ignore the biggest worries of ordinary voters , senior party figures have warned . They say Sir Keir Starmer and his team turn a blind eye to the lessons of the US election at their peril . Labour must tackle voters ' anxieties about key issues including the cost of living and immigration and not just " obscure causes " . Former Labour cabinet Minister Liam Byrne said : " The scale of President Trump 's emphatic re-election is not just a shock ; it 's a warning to Labour and the European Left . " A US-wide survey of more than 120,000 Americans found around nine in 10 were concerned about the cost of groceries , with about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ There are fears Labour will be punished if it ignores the " money worries " of everyday Brits . Mr Byrne said voters in the North and the Midlands felt their regions had been " left behind " as the South of England grew wealthier . He said : " If we do n't address this , we too will face the kind of populist surge that brought Trump back into office . " There is anxiety in Labour circles the party will take a hammering from Reform UK -- led by veteran Brexiteer and Trump ally Nigel Farage -- unless it addresses worries about high levels of immigration . Former Labour foreign minister Kim Howells warned : " The idea that you should n't be concerned with how many people you let in is madness . " He cautioned that Labour ignores Reform at its " extreme peril " . And a Labour MP in a former industrial heartland seat said : " Nigel Farage 's party is especially dangerous for us . People with strong memories of the miners ' strike and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ struggle to vote Conservative but Reform has none of that baggage . " Urging Labour to focus on the cost of living , the MP said : " The Democrats are about to be cast out of power because they ignored the concerns of working people who struggled to pay the bills at the end of the month . If we ignore people 's money worries the wave that humiliated Kamala Harris could sweep Keir Starmer out of Downing Street . " Reform deputy leader Richard Tice predicted that a similar democratic revolt to the one in the US will come to the UK . He said : " For far too long establishment politicians have ignored and mocked working people on both sides of the pond for being worried about immigration and the cost of living . " There has been a reckoning in America with Donald Trump 's victory and in 2029 we will see people in the United Kingdom send that same message by voting Reform in record numbers . " Labour and the Tories , just like the Democrats , have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ become too comfortable in their metropolitan bubble . " Former Labour minister John Spellar said voters cared about issues such as the cost of living , crime and whether services provided by both the public and private sector worked properly . He said : " The big lesson is that people want a government that works for them , respects them and does n't just focus on obscure causes . " The public are fair-minded but they feel they need to be listened to , and if the system is n't doing that then they will look for someone who at least gives the impression of listening . " Rachael Maskell -- a Labour MP who is a leading critic of the decision to restrict winter fuel payments to all but the poorest pensioners -- said Labour must " heed the warning signs and ensure that the needs of left-behind communities are met now and in the future " . She said the Government must " address immediate need " and close the " inequality gap " so people are lifted out of poverty . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . The scale of Mr Trump 's victory over Ms Harris took many commentators by surprise because pollsters had suggested the election was on a knife-edge .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object and the VP2[-ing] predicate that would indicate either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'pull out of training' is a phrasal verb indicating withdrawal from an activity due to ill health, not involving a causee or the specific interpretations associated with the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object and the VP2[-ing] predicate that would induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'pull out of training' is a phrasal verb indicating withdrawal from an activity due to ill health, not a construction involving causation or prevention.

The sentence 'What joy do idiots get out of doing this?' does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object between the verb 'get' and 'out of doing this', and it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to be questioning the motivation behind an action, which is not aligned with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'get out of going on Rob and Josh's fucking podcast' involves the verb 'get' followed by 'out of' and a gerund, but there is no NP object between 'get' and 'out of' that functions as a causee. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations typical of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'get out of' in a different context where 'going on Rob and Josh's fucking podcast' is the activity being avoided, not a VP2[-ing] predicate with a causee. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It involves the phrase 'opted out of receiving information', where 'receiving' is part of a gerund phrase but lacks the necessary NP object and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The context is about choosing not to receive information, not about causing someone to move out of or preventing someone from an action.

An avid pair of Status Quo fans thought they 'd be Rockin ' all over the UK after making a 700-mile round trip to see frontman Francis Rossi perform in a special one-man-show - only to be left feeling Down Down after finding the theatre they had booked tickets for lying in complete darkness . Roy and Pam Roberts made the lengthy trek from their home in Torquay to Barrow in Furness to see the veteran rocker perform a solo acoustic show at the town 's Forum Theatre as a 70th birthday treat for Roy . But when they arrived they found a pitch black venue with only a ' closed ' sign pinned to the front door .

Unsure their tickets would even be valid the couple resigned themselves to consoling themselves with a drink in their hotel bar before making their sorry way home the next morning - around ? 500 out of pocket . Emails informing ticket holders of the change had been sent but the couple had opted out of receiving information due to the Forum being such a long way from their home and so did not receive one . They also missed reading announcements about the show 's change of venue posted on social media . Retired engineer Roy said : " We are absolutely gutted . The show was a present from my wife after we missed out on getting them for the previous tour . We were on holiday when Francis announced extra dates so we just booked them on the spot . It was only when we looked at a map we realised just how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was so excited to see the show and just could n't believe it when we found the theatre shut . It was a total disaster . " Pam , 68 , added : " We 've seen Status Quo a few times and love their music but really wanted to see this more intimate show . " At least the train journey was absolutely beautiful but for a romantic night away there are probably better places to stay than Barrow in Furness .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'take the administrative hassle out of claiming higher rate or additional rate tax relief' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes removing a hassle from a process, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Workers are expected to be offered more salary sacrifice schemes to reduce the pain of a national insurance increase for employers . Salary sacrifice allows you to make pension contributions or pay for other benefits such as company cars , bicycles or medical insurance from your gross salary before income tax is taken . This " sacrifice " of some of your salary means that your income is lower and so you pay less tax and national insurance contributions ( NICs ) . Your employer also has to pay national insurance on the wages that they pay you , so if they are lower through salary sacrifice , the employer will also pay less national insurance . Rachel Reeves 's biggest budget move was to increase the rate at which employers pay national insurance from 13.8 per cent to 15 per cent from April 6 . The threshold at which companies start to pay national insurance on an employee @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ year to ? 5,000 . Combined , these measures are expected to raise ? 122.3 billion extra tax over five years . Employers have warned that the extra costs they face could mean they will not be able to offer pay rises , may have to cut back recruitment , or even let some workers go . But using a salary sacrifice scheme could reduce those costs . Gary Smith from the wealth manager Evelyn Partners said : " Quite surprisingly , the chancellor did not announce any changes to salary sacrifice arrangements , and this could see many employers considering altering their workplace pension scheme to try to reduce the impact of the national insurance increases . " Not all employers offer salary sacrifice . The payroll service Workplace Pensions Direct and the market research firm YouGov last year found that about 50 per cent of companies offered a scheme , with larger firms more likely to than smaller businesses . One of the most common reasons for using the scheme is to reduce the tax and national @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have to formally sacrifice a portion of your salary , asking your employer to pay it directly into your pension instead . The amount you will save depends on how much salary you sacrifice and whether you are a basic , higher or additional rate taxpayer . For example , say you earn ? 45,000 a year . You will pay 20 per cent income tax on the amount above your personal allowance of ? 12,570 -- so ? 6,486 . You will also pay ? 2,594 in national insurance , giving you net pay of about ? 35,920 . If you contributed 5 per cent of your income ( the minimum you have to contribute under auto-enrolment ) , which is about ? 1,800 after tax , you would get tax relief at your 20 per cent income tax rate , bringing your pension contribution to ? 2,250 . Your take-home pay ( after tax and pension contributions ) would be ? 34,120 , according to the wealth manager AJ Bell . Your employer meanwhile will pay your ? 45,000 salary plus national insurance of ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If instead you asked your employer to pay ? 2,500 of your salary directly into your pension , your pay would be reduced to ? 42,500 . Your lower income will mean an income tax bill of ? 5,986 and national insurance of ? 2,394 -- giving you the same take-home pay as in the previous example of ? 34,120 , but with an extra ? 250 in your pension . Your employer meanwhile would pay lower national insurance of ? 5,625 on your lower ? 42,500 salary , which , added to the ? 2,500 sacrificed directly into your pension , would mean a total employer bill of ? 50,625 -- a saving of ? 375 . Salary sacrifice can also be used to pay for other perks , saving you tax . Your employer may offer you a company car , leasing it on your behalf through salary sacrifice . Payments will be made from your pre-tax salary , again allowing you and your employer to reduce your salary for national insurance purposes . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the value of the car or the amount of salary that you sacrifice , however , known as a benefit in kind . This will be done automatically through your pay . Electric cars have exceptions to this to help to encourage workers to switch to greener transport . You can also get medical and dental insurance through salary sacrifice , but as with cars , they count as a benefit in kind so you have to pay income tax on the premiums paid by your employer . Cycle to Work is another salary sacrifice scheme . If your employer participates , you choose your bike plus any safety equipment you need , and your employer pays for it . You then repay this money from your pre-tax income every month . If , for example , you were a higher rate taxpayer and bought a ? 1,000 bicycle , you would pay ? 83.33 a month for 12 months from your pre-tax income . The amount that your take-home pay would actually be reduced by is ? 48.33 a month , or ? 580 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ national insurance contributions . There is no benefit-in-kind liability for the Cycle to Work scheme . Parents earning more than ? 60,000 a year start losing their child benefit , worth ? 25.60 a week for your first child and ? 16.95 for other children . They get nothing by the time one parent 's income reaches ? 80,000 . Salary sacrifice can reduce your income and so help you to keep more child benefit . This also works for those parents teetering on the ? 100,000 salary cliff edge . Once your income rises above ? 100,000 you start to lose the personal allowance , -- the amount of money you can earn each year income tax-free . You lose one percentage point of your ? 12,570 personal allowance for every ? 2 you earn above ? 100,000 . This means that by the time you reach an income of ? 125,140 you lose all your personal allowance . You also lose tax-free childcare , which is worth up to ? 2,000 a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ salary point and the 15 free hours a week of childcare for children from nine months . The free hours for children aged three to four is slashed from 30 to 15 weeks . You can still make additional contributions to your pension from your post-tax income , but you would need to reclaim higher and top rate tax that you have paid on those contributions through a tax return . Only the basic rate of income tax is paid automatically into your pension from contributions made from your post-tax pay . Rachel Vahey at AJ Bell said : " Salary sacrifice can take the administrative hassle out of claiming higher rate or additional rate tax relief for higher-earning employees , meaning they do n't need to include pension contributions in their self-assessments . " Lowering your salary will affect how much money you could borrow for a mortgage , although some lenders may take sacrificed salary into account .

If you agree to exchange part of your salary , then this could mean lower life cover . A lower income may also mean that you have lower statutory maternity or paternity pay .

We 're living in a slowly degrading echo-chamber of AI , ads , and profits When you purchase through links on our site , we may earn an affiliate commission . Here 's how it works . ( Image credit : Shutterstock / Studio Romantic ) The internet is in a precarious place . It 's assaulted from all sides - not by technological problems , but by social ones . Misinformation is rife , marketing and advertising covers every facet of the web , and armies of politicized and automated bots roam the wilds of its social media landscapes , all of which are filtered down to you through carefully curated algorithmic posts designed to induce endorphin kicks and keep you on your platform of choice . Right now , everything is changing , and not necessarily for the better . For many of us , looking back 10 or 20 years , the ' world wide web ' looked radically different in that golden age @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gaming landscape , the knowledge and accessibility , the shopping - all of it felt different , and it was different . This goes beyond rose-tinted glasses . The companies that joined into the foray were incredible , almost revolutionary . Spotify , Netflix , Amazon , Facebook , Twitter , and Uber : all remarkably impressive , market-upsetting ideas that broke the mold . They drew in masses of customers , users , and consumers with awesome features and affordable pricing . Yet over time , those same features and costs have gotten predominantly worse for the average Joe , as the companies have scooped out the investment in the middle for the sake of greater margins . This usually occurs once they become publicly-traded entities ; driven by shares , investors , and board members clamoring for greater profits rather than the ideals and concepts that founded them . The same sadly goes for the scientific endeavors too . Educational tools and access to information are equally falling apart . So much of the information out there has now been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their thousands , spewing forth all manner of falsehoods from anyone who can pick up a phone and film a 60-second clip . Flat-earthers , fitness and diet influencers , climate-change deniers , moon-landing hoaxers , political " activists " on both sides of the spectrum , so-called journalists pandering to clickbait , you name it . It 's increasingly difficult to identify what 's real and what 's not , what 's true fact and what is n't . It 's partly why Google changes its search ranking algorithms so often , as it continually tries to promote correct and accurate information over AI-regurgitated content and misinformation . Millions of people filming themselves dancing probably is n't what the founding fathers of the internet had in mind . ( Image credit : NattakornManeerat via Shutterstock ) We 're in a world of demagogues and social media personalities , where your reach and the number of views on your content dictate whether you 're taken seriously or not . Whether your facts and statements are taken as truth . We saw it during COVID , we saw it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ war in Ukraine , and the recent UK riots . It is n't slowing down either , and the impact it has is arguably getting worse . We even have services now that capitalize on that too . Ground news , collating all the media together to give you the full spectrum of political opinion on any one given event , fact-checkers covering masses of social media platforms , and Community Notes pointing out when folks with lots of clout spout utter nonsense . Hell , there are even entire divisions of scientists out there now making a living out of debunking the empirically-incorrect insanity spewed by other social media influencers . It 's absolutely wild . The problem is systemic . It started in social media , with algorithms delivering ' curated ' content rather than just showing you a historical timeline of those you follow . Your likes and dislikes , what you spend time watching , reading , listening to , it all became fuel for the fire . Facebook , Instagram , Twitter - all of them feed you content @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ politics , or 9/11 conspiracy theories , or cute black labradors , it did n't matter : as long as you stay on the platform and consume more ads . In fact , it 's become so prevalent that it 's hard to find a feed system on any social media platform today that does n't do that . The problem with this is that it has effectively stifled creative debate . No longer are your opinions challenged or questioned , no longer do you have meaningful conversation and discussion , but instead you 're fed more and more of the same content . That in turn reinforces and influences your beliefs as a consequence , as you sit in an echo chamber of like-minded people repeating the same things . It 's not difficult to see how this actively leads to an increase in extremist beliefs and views . How can your opinion change or evolve if there 's no one there to challenge it ? It 's part of the reason why so many in the last few elections across the planet are almost in utter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Because to them , all they see is a deluge of support online for their chosen party and nothing else . It 's a bloody mess : a relatively free market , held back only by the sparsest amount of regulation . 31 years -- that 's how long it 's been since the World Wide Web made its first foray into the public arena . It 's hard to imagine what Sir Tim Berners Lee envisioned ; it 'd be like this far into the future . I doubt this is what he imagined ( although Tim , if you 're reading this and are free for a chat : hit me up , I 'm so up for that ) . The man who started it all , Sir Tim Berners-Lee . No , you ca n't blame him for all the TikTok dances . ( Image credit : Paul Clarke ) That said , there 's still hope . The amount of good that 's come out of the WWW since its conception , and even today @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no pun intended ) . Even if in ten years it 's just filled with AI-generated articles and gradually degrading memes while Amazon charges you $90 a month for next-week delivery , as long as people are still using it to actively and openly communicate with one another , it 'll be a net positive . We do n't hear about the number of scientific breakthroughs that have been accelerated by the internet , the discoveries , the health conditions cured , or the humanitarian aid organized ; we do n't hear about any of that because that 's not what makes the news . It 's not interesting . That 's not included in the scientific journals or the papers . We do n't hear about the relationships formed or how integral it is to our modern society 's infrastructure as a whole . How do you fix it , then ? Well , it 's not so simple as slapping a band-aid on something . By its very definition , the World Wide Web is exactly that : global . To get some form of consensus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ requires collective effort . We 've seen that happen before in the tech industry . There 's a reason JEDEC exists , and standards like USB and DDR are a thing ; we need one for the internet , one with teeth on a much larger scale . One with smart minds behind it , looking at the monopolization of segments of the internet and pushing governments to act on it . Suggesting legislation . Looking at patterns and predicting what might occur . One that can react rapidly without necessarily being hindered by bureaucratic nonsense . The USB Implementers Forum incorporates many major players in the tech industry , including Apple , Intel , and Microsoft . ( Image credit : ShutterStock / kontrymphoto ) Then there 's education , and I 'm not talking just about kids and young adults , but for all ages . In a similar manner to how we strive for complete adult literacy , we need to have a big push to make each nation-state computer literate as well , beyond talking about " how to turn on the PC " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to identify fake posts , how to fact-check statements , how to find multiple sources , and the legality behind what you post and how you post online .

The Smeg Combi Steam Oven has a whole host of features for the countertop chef . It has 33 automatic recipe presets for a variety of easy meals .

I can not figure out exactly who this countertop oven is for or what it might replace in one 's kitchen . I already own an oven and a toaster oven and the Combi ca n't replace either of those . It 's too small to replace an oven , unless you live in space that does n't have room for a full-sized oven . I suppose it could replace a toaster oven , but it has a much larger footprint than the ( similarly-sized on the inside ) toaster oven I already own . And while I 'm sure you can make toast in it , like in any kind of oven , there is no designated toast feature on the Combi . List price : $999.95 ( about ? 770 / AU$1,500 ) That 's right , the Smeg Combi Steam Oven is over $1,000 once you pay sales tax . It 's available at upscale kitchen stores like Williams-Sonoma and Crate and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ available in the US at the time of writing , but it may become available internationally at a later date . Beautiful mid-century aesthetic Two knobs to access a variety of functions Bake , air fry , steam , and more The Smeg Combi Steam oven is advertised as a 10 in 1 oven . Just do n't call it a toaster oven ! It 's a countertop oven that cooks in a whole bunch of different ways . According to Smeg , the oven uses " Galileo Multicooking technology : innovative airflow patterns and professional algorithms for outstanding results in a compact design . " It offers traditional cooking functions like bake and convection bake along with steam and air fry functions to perform a variety of cooking tasks . The Combi has 33 automatic chef recipes that take the guesswork out of cooking meat , fish , vegetables , bread , pizza , and desserts . Just choose your preset , pop in your food , and get ready for some deliciousness . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The enamel mid-century design is sleek and gorgeous . You can choose from five different colors : black , white , red , cream , and light blue . It comes with the following cooking accessories : two grill racks , an enameled cooking tray , and a perforated cooking tray . The guides along the sides of the oven have two different positions so you can cook on the upper level , lower level , or both at once . The guides can also be removed so you can easily access the sides of the oven for easier cleaning . The window is large and the light inside is always on while cooking so you can keep a close eye on your food 's progress . The top of the Combi opens up to reveal a water compartment , where you pour in water for the steam function . The interior of the lid has a cheat sheet with all of the chef presets listed as well as a QR code so you can access the owner 's manual , how-to videos , and other information . This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ much larger than any toaster oven I 've ever seen . However , the interior is virtually the same size as my large toaster oven , just two inches wider . ( Image credit : Karen Freeman / Future ) There are two dials for controlling the SMEG Combi Steam Oven and a screen between them . There are three menus you can access via the left dial : Traditional Cooking Menu , Steam Cooking Menu , and Chef Menu . The Traditional Cooking Menu lets you choose broil , air fry , bake , convection bake , convection bottom bake , warm , and defrost . When you enter the Chef Menu , you can choose from among 33 presets for a variety of meats , fish , vegetables , desserts , and breads . The use of the dials definitely takes some studying of the user manual and some practice . It 's not necessarily intuitive . Design score : 4.5/5 So how did the Combi perform ? Overall , excellent . I cooked a bunch @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dud in the bunch . There was definitely a weird smell the first couple of times I used it , even though I performed the one hour burn off ( empty oven on highest setting ) to get rid of any residues left from the manufacturing process . And it 's quite noisy , getting up to 65 dB(A) at times . However , unlike every toaster oven I 've used , it does n't get hot on the outside . Even when going full tilt , it only reached a very touchable 76 degrees on the outside . The fan stays on while the oven cools down after cooking is complete , presumably to help it cool down faster . It does take some time to cool down , and a progress bar on the screen lets you know how the cool down is progressing . ( Image credit : Karen Freeman / Future ) I made two different kinds of ( sweet potato ) french fries : from scratch and pre-made frozen . For the scratch variety , I cut up a sweet potato @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( Image credit : Karen Freeman / Future ) The frozen ones I just dumped out on the tray . I used the French Fry Chef Menu preset for both , which was actually a traditional baking mode rather than an air fry mode as you might expect . In both cases , the fries came out crisp on the outside , soft on the inside , and totally delicious . I also baked a sweet potato whole using convection bake as I typically would and that also came out great . ( Image credit : Karen Freeman / Future ) I baked blueberry muffins using the Muffin preset from the Chef Menu , which includes steam . The muffins came out moist and delicious . I 'd say the browning was a bit uneven ; I took them out one minute early because I was afraid some of them might overcook . I probably did n't need to do that , though . ( Image credit : Karen Freeman / Future ) I used the Roasted Vegetables preset many times , since I eat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I made in the Combi this way were brussels sprouts . I make them all the time ; when I make them on the stovetop they tend to be slightly soggy but when I make them in the oven they tend to dry out ( unless I use a ton of oil . ) In the Combi , I used a minimal amount of oil , just a quick spritz all over . They came out crisp , tender , and amazing . ( Image credit : Karen Freeman / Future ) I also tried making vegetables in Air Fry mode , using a recipe I found online . I put broccoli , red peppers , and a frozen veggie burger patty in for 10 minutes at 390 degrees . Again , the veggies were delicious : crisp and tender . The burger was fully cooked , just right .

There is a dedicated Pizza preset in the Chef Menu , but since Smeg is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ homemade pizza . I wanted to make frozen pizza . In fact , I made two different ones over the course of my testing period . In both cases , I followed the directions on the box . I did one in convection bake mode and ended up taking it out a couple of minutes early so it did n't burn . I did the second one in regular bake mode , and actually had to add a couple of minutes to the bake time . In the end though , both pizzas came out perfect : lightly browned , fully cooked in the middle , not burnt anywhere . ( Image credit : Karen Freeman / Future ) I steamed frozen pierogies ( potato dumplings ) using the steam mode . The pierogies came out fully heated through , moist , and delicious . I did n't make toast . Why ? Because there is no dedicated toast function . Obviously you can Google how to make toast in any oven , but I can not for the life of me figure out why Smeg @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Cleanup is n't exactly a breeze , because everything is hand wash only . The trays definitely take some elbow grease , but I was able to get them completely clean every time .

I did exactly that , using Dawn Powerwash and a Scrub Daddy ( gentle sponge ) . When that was n't enough , I went out and bought some Dawn Professional Heavy Duty Degreaser . That did n't do it either , despite plenty of elbow grease . I do n't want to damage it with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool , so it just is n't as clean as I 'd like .

The sentence 'more households switching to low/no alcohol or opting out of drinking completely' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction, where 'opting' is the V1, 'out of' is followed by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'drinking'. It implies a prevention interpretation where households are preventing themselves from drinking alcohol completely.

Reasoning

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'get' is used with 'joy' as the object, and 'out of doing this' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'takes name out of running', where 'running' is part of a noun phrase ('running for Trump's Attorney General') rather than a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'he' is the NP object, 'talked' is V1, and 'putting pen to paper' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also exhibits a prevention interpretation, as the action of putting pen to paper was prevented by means of talking. The verb 'talked' fits into the category of verbs that appear in the V1 slot by means of verbal persuasion. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

It 's difficult to know these days what boxes they are actually attempting to tick . But , whatever it is Rangers are looking for in a prospective new manager , Derek McInnes must be feeling as if he 's been put through the longest job audition in history . On Sunday afternoon he proved his credentials all over again as his Kilmarnock side bullied and harassed Celtic out of the stride which has allowed them to collect 31 points from the first 33 available this season . Yes , ultimately Brendan Rodgers and his players got out of town safely with a 2-0 win but that scoreline does n't come remotely close to explaining what really went on at Rugby Park , as McInnes showcased once again how capable he is of rolling around in the managerial mud with the Celtic boss . Rodgers has said it itself -- and many times -- over the years . He respects McInnes for a very good reason and is probably quietly delighted that Rangers have , thus far @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to almost everyone else . If the metric for judging what makes a capable , worthy Ibrox boss is the ability to be competitive against the neighbours , then McInnes is the ultimate no brainer when the axe finally falls on Philippe Clement and removes the Belgian from his mounting misery . Since the turn of the century , no other manager in this land or any other has chalked up more wins against the Parkhead club than any non Rangers boss . And Clement is currently sitting on a total of no wins from five Old Firm derbies as he staggers onwards in the general direction of next month 's League Cup Final at Hampden . On Sunday night , he looked every bit as lost as he has done throughout the start to a season which is bordering on complete and utter embarrassment . Sure , Rangers scraped a 1-0 win at home to Hearts to at least take a three-point bite out of the enormous lead both Celtic and Aberdeen have built at the top of the table . But this was the latest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which are becoming Clement 's signature dish one year into the job . The home support has run out of patience with the manager and , when the levels of exasperation reach these levels it 's only a matter of time before the inevitable , messy and financially costly end . The only unanswered question now is , how much longer will this prevaricating continue ? When will this will-they-won't-they charade come to an end ? At what point do Rangers have to concede McInnes is the man best qualified to lead them out of this malaise ? Dave King ( Image : Daily Record ) Deep down McInnes may wonder if he 'll ever be accepted back at Ibrox after rejecting the offer to replace the hapless Pedro Caixinha back in December 2017 . But the truth of the matter is he did n't turn Rangers down . On the contrary , he verbally accepted the position only to then be talked out of putting pen to paper at the eleventh hour during a face-to-face with Dave King . More than that , McInnes had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ December 9 , the day before he sat down with King and realised he was on the verge of placing himself in an impossible position . It was only during that conversation that McInnes convinced himself that he could not work under a chairman he knew he could not trust . And , it should be remembered that he made the agonising decision to turn it down after seeking the advice and guidance of his trusted mentor Walter Smith . It was Smith who told him to listen to his own instincts and to stick to his guns when the insufferably shifty King attempted to reposition the goalposts during the final round of contractual negotiations and McInnes received the wisest of counsel . As a matter of fact , that required quite an emotional effort from the great man , given that he always regarded McInness as a Rangers manager in waiting as well as something of a kindred spirit . He saw more than a bit of himself in McInnes and that assessment alone is as good a reason as any for Rangers to be battering down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all this to be true . In fact , not all that long after King 's clumsy , classless intervention led to McInnes staying put at Pitttodrie , the pair bumped into one another in a chance encounter on a golf course somewhere in Florida . Rangers interim chairman John Gilligan ( Image : SNS Group ) McInnes actually ran across a fairway to get Gilligan 's attention before explaining to him the real reason behind his decision and letting him in on the chaos King had created behind closed doors . At that time Gilligan was still serving on the Rangers board . It did n't take all that long before he too came to the conclusion that life with King was too much like hard work and opted to step away from the club . In other words , Gilligan knows the circumstances around that whole farrago better than anyone . And that gives him something of an advantage where this current , ongoing crisis situation is concerned . Of course , he 'd rather not be forced into confronting it at this point , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ permanent replacement as well as a new chief executive and director of football . But the fact of the matter is Clement 's position is rapidly becoming untenable and his relationship with the support may already be broken beyond repair . Should he fail to beat Rodgers at the sixth attempt at the national stadium in a month 's time -- and there 's the very real potential for that final to get completely out of hand -- then Gilligan will have no choice but to step forward . There 's a very strong argument that he should be doing something about it right now , given that Rangers are already languishing nine points behind both Celtic and Aberdeen , with a second placed finish in the league already a matter of serious doubt . What Rangers need is to arm themselves with a manager who is capable of giving Rodgers a legitimate cause for concern . The overwhelming body of evidence shows that man is McInnes and the sooner Rangers get around to recognising it the quicker they might begin to recover from the catastrophe of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right . |

A York man has been jailed for more than two years after he broke a man 's nose and eye socket in a " completely unprovoked " street attack and then tried to " scare " him out of pursuing a court case .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'get locked out of collecting Polaroid 2' does not involve a causer and a causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence 'pricing younger farmers out of buying land' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject (the process of doing that) + V1 (pricing) + NP object (younger farmers) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (buying land). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the action of pricing prevents younger farmers from buying land. The verb 'pricing' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure', and the NP object 'younger farmers' functions as a causee. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Farmers may never forgive Labour for the change to inheritance tax rules on agricultural land , the Conservative Party has claimed , as it said there was a " palpable " feeling of betrayal in rural communities . Shadow environment secretary Victoria Atkins said farmers faced a threat from a " city-dwelling socialist Government which does not understand or care for the rural way of life " . But food security minister Daniel Zeichner warned MPs against misrepresentation which he said had struck a " real fear " into farming communities . Speaking from the despatch box for the first time since her appointment by Kemi Badenoch last week , Ms Atkins said the Government 's approach on three policies had critically hit farmers ' levels of trust in the Labour Party . Farmers feel that the Government is coming after them and their family 's livelihoods , when all they and their ancestors have done is work hard , follow the rules , and fed usVictoria Atkins , shadow environment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' national insurance , the accelerated reduction in direct payments to farmers , and the removal of inheritance tax relief on agricultural land being badly received by farmers . The Conservative MP said that while she supported a clampdown on potential abuse of the tax system , which the introduction of inheritance tax on agricultural land would stop , she said its poor design would impact farmers . Ms Atkins told the Commons : " The way in which the Chancellor has designed this policy means it is tenant farmers and farmers in the middle who will struggle , not the very wealthiest . " She added : " This morning I asked farmers on social media to send me details of how this policy will affect them and their businesses . It has made for anguished reading . Farmers are furious , anxious , even distressed about these changes . " They feel that the Government is coming after them and their family 's livelihoods , when all they and their ancestors have done is work hard , follow the rules , and fed us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ relief for family farms would be limited to only the first ? 1 million of combined agricultural and business property . For anything above that , landowners will pay a 20% tax rate , rather than the standard 40% rate of inheritance tax ( IHT ) applied to other land and property . The Government has said the reforms will only affect 2,000 estates each year , with small farms not affected by the changes . Environment Secretary Steve Reed said farmers should not ' believe every alarming claim or headline ' ( Ben Whitley/PA ) Ms Atkins went on to say : " The sense of betrayal is palpable . As a fifth generation farmer put it to me this morning , would you want to work somewhere that you knew , over your lifetime , was going to be taken away bit by bit . Environment Secretary Steve Reed told the Commons that farmers should not " believe every alarming claim or headline " on changes to inheritance tax . The minister said the Government is " committed to ensuring the future @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : " The House is aware that this Government inherited a catastrophic ? 22 billion black hole in the nation 's finances , meaning we 've had to take tough decisions on tax , welfare and spending to protect the payslips of working people . " This has required reforms to agricultural property relief ( APR ) . " Now I recognise many farmers are feeling anxious about these changes . " I would urge them not to believe every alarming claim or headline , and I reassure them that this Government is listening to them . This will be devastating not just for family farms but for rural communities as a wholeTim Farron , Liberal Democrats " We are committed to ensuring the future of family farms . " The vast majority of farmers will not be affected at all by the changes . " He added : " Our reforms will put a stop to wealthy individuals buying up agricultural land to avoid inheritance tax , and in the process of doing that , pricing younger farmers out of buying land @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to contributions by backbenchers throughout the debate , Mr Zeichner said : " There 's a real fear out there because of the way ( data ) have been misrepresented , not because of the figures . " Summing up , he continued : " I hear and I understand what people are saying , but I was waiting in vain through the entire debate for a member on the opposite benches to actually address the real figures , the real figures that are the actual claims that have been made under APR which are published by -- not a projection , not a guess , but guess what -- by the people who actually collect the tax , by the Treasury . " Mr Zeichner said current claims above the ? 1 million threshold stood at between the 400 and 500 mark , but a " change in behaviour which is absolutely likely as a consequence of this , possibly quite likely very good consequences " could produce a " very small " number of future claims . " We are confident this could be made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democrat environment and farming spokesperson Tim Farron said the changes to the tax could lead to " Lakeland clearances " near his Westmorland and Lonsdale constituency in Cumbria , with big corporates buying up small businesses . He said : " When it comes to farming , you 'll see the land passed over to no agricultural use whatsoever and the house turned into yet another second home . " This will be devastating not just for family farms but for rural communities as a whole . " |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'make such a farce out of booking a Christmas delivery slot' does not involve a causee NP object that participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'out of' in a different idiomatic sense.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'She' is the NP subject, 'been forced' is the V1 (passive voice of 'force'), 'to pull' is part of the VP2[-ing] predicate, and 'attending the global premier of Gladiator II on Wednesday with the King and from attending a birthday event with him on Thursday' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. The sentence implies a prevention interpretation, where the subject is prevented from attending the events due to being forced.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'She' is the NP subject, 'been forced' is the V1, 'to pull' is part of the VP2[-ing] predicate, and 'out of attending the global premier of Gladiator II on Wednesday with the King and from attending a birthday event with him on Thursday' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also fits the prevention interpretation, as the subject is being prevented from attending the events due to being forced. The verb 'forced' falls under the category of exerting force or pressure, which is one of the classifications for verbs in this construction. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'making money out of hosting them in Italy' involves an NP object ('money') that does not function as a causee, and there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a means of earning money, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Sentencing the dad of two to 40 months in prison , Judge Andrew Menary said : " Many broadcasters and other media outlets make TV content available online , which can be accessed legitimately if users pay for a subscription .

Married At First Sight UK fans might be in for a rather disappointing season finale , as crucial plot twists have been revealed prematurely . The E4 reality dating show , which has been airing since 2015 , has seen an influx of increasingly outrageous characters in recent seasons .

Yet , some stars split up long before filming ends and start dating others , leaving the public able to uncover details of their lives online .

I ca n't write here now why I was crying but it was to do with them ruining a surprise I had for Ross . " , reports The Mirror . " As if they 've done me that dirty ....

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject (other sports pundits) + V1 (pulled) + NP object (out of) + VP2[-ing] predicate (appearing on the BBC). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the pundits are preventing themselves from appearing on the BBC as a means of solidarity. The verb 'pulled' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure', fitting one of the verb classifications for this construction.

Instead, 'ranking Sylvester Stallone above Billy Joel' is a gerund phrase serving as the object of the preposition 'out of', similar to the examples in (7a) and (7b) which are not instances of the construction.

Two 's company , three 's a minimalist rock trio . I think that 's how the saying goes , in indie muso circles at least . And you certainly wo n't find a more powerful minimalist rock trio than Shellac this side of Uranus . Conceived as exactly that , the band was formed 25 years ago after the ex-Big Black and Rapeman singer/guitarist ( and renowned recording engineer ) Steve Albini and his erstwhile drummer buddy Todd Trainer had a blast playing together in the backing band for Pete Conway 's Flour project . Soon after , Bob Weston of Volcano Suns was welcomed into the fold and the rest is noise-rock history . In some respects , the key to Shellac 's ongoing genius lies in the sheer skeletal simplicity of their sound . Take one bass , one guitar and one drum kit , sprinkle them with agitated vocals , and that 's your lot . Unhurried and unafraid of silence hanging in the air or pregnant pauses of the sonic variety , Shellac 's music is what might happen if you took Led @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ onanism , sacked the shrieking Tolkien-reading Aslan figure and replaced him with a bespectacled punk rocker who enjoys bar billiards . In other ways , Shellac 's deconstructivist numbers are shrewdly and meticulously complex , being based around structures and rhythmic backbones that have more in common with jazz , funk or dub than anything in the standard verse-chorus-verse tradition of pop , rock and punk music . ? ? When Shellac began , Albini swapped the custom " Black Sled " guitar he 'd used in his Big Black/Rapeman days for a Travis Bean TB500 which he feeds through a Harmonic Percolator pedal and strikes with copper plectrums to create those signature clattering riffs . Buttressing that racket are Weston 's chest-wobbling bass notes and Trainer 's harsh drumbeats ( his distinctive breaks and fills sitting somewhere between Bonham at his cruellest and Ringo at his most absurdly liberated ) . In contrast to the belligerence of their compositions , the trio 's concerts are disarmingly jolly events . These usually conclude with Albini and Weston disassembling Trainer 's kit as he heroically strives to keep playing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ choreography and , during the regular intermissions when Albini 's Travis Bean requires retuning , Weston will have fielded questions from the audience with the hilariously rapid comeback chutzpah of an experienced stand-up comedian . Ahead of Shellac 's appearance at this year 's OFF Festival , Albini helped navigate us through ten of his band 's noisy benchmarks . 1 . From Hardcore Punk To Minimalist Rock All three Shellac members had backgrounds in punk , most notably Steve Albini as leader of industrial-tinged hardcore button-pushers Big Black who split in 1987 . The same year Shellac formed , Rancid released their first EP , Green Day were busy promoting Kerplunk and The Offspring had just signed to Epitaph Records . If that was what punk meant in 1992 , it was time for the older generation to change tack . Steve Albini : For all three of us , punk rock was part of our formative experience with music . I 'm not sure who I stole this metaphor from , it 's definitely stolen , but punk was like a brilliant flash that was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it and it cast really long shadows . All of us were there being dazzled by it and we 're all walking in the shadows that were burned into the pavement . Punk happened , it was done , and everybody who was influenced by punk carried on with their lives having been startled and changed by punk . Punk as an idiom , a style , a format for music is fucking trivial . At this stage , anyone whose conception of music is so stunted that they have to play in an idiom really does n't warrant serious consideration . But you can have been inspired by the things that devolved into a simplistic , idiomatic form and retain that inspiration without mimicking that form . I was baffled and thrilled by music like The Ramones , The Sex Pistols , Pere Ubu , Devo and all those contemporaneous , inspirational punk bands without wanting to try to mimic them.We came up with " minimalist rock trio " as a description of the band and I 'm happy with that . We 've committed to a relatively @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pursue as a band and minimalism is one of them . The three of us playing as a trio is another one . Do you have to restrict yourselves or rein yourselves in if things are getting beyond minimalism ? SA : No . It 's like if I were to say to you , " Do you have to restrain yourself from speaking Portuguese ? " Our conception of the band is that it 's the three of us playing music that we derive from our own interests and I do n't feel that is in any way a limitation . I want to try to get the most out of the set of materials that we have . I feel that broadening our palate would be a cheat to make life easier on us like , " Well let 's just put a kalimba on it . " The vocabulary of the band , being the three instruments , is a parameter that 's not a limitation just like the alphabet is not a limitation on the language of English . 2 . ' The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1993 ) ? ? From the outset Shellac kept operations deliberately low-key . Their earliest music was released on 7 " s with homemade covers , they performed in small atypical venues and refused to partake in any publicity . Their debut 7 " showcased three mid-paced tracks of thundering guitar noise over which Albini snarled about fire and billiards . If early interviews are anything to go by , one of Shellac 's principal aims was to avoid acting anything like The Smashing Pumpkins . SA : When we first started recording and doing stuff publicly in the 90s , it coincided with the beginnings of a feeding frenzy for underground bands . The greater entertainment industry had taken an interest in what had previously been an underground of experimental punk and post punk bands . On the part of a lot of bands from the underground there was an indulgence in that , where they were getting a public profile in a professional sense . They would have publicists and advertising and their record labels were doing promotions and journalists were being supplicated with free records @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the underground that was playing along with this creeping professionalism and we wanted no part of that . From the beginning , we decided that we were just going to make records and put them out , and that was it . We were n't going to do any act of promotion . We were n't going to do any advances . We were n't going to solicit interest from record labels , stores , journalists , media outlets or whatever . We were just going to go about our affairs as a band , play shows , make records and let people come across them as they would . Part of it was the insult that all of us felt when stuff was being thrust at us . The " check out this hot new band " or " this is the record of the summer " kind of shit . It 's insulting and it makes me hate everyone involved . Whenever there 's active promotion on the part of somebody else , whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for something like that , as an imposition on my day , I hate all those people and I want them to fail . I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion . There 's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it . I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail . Because of my feelings and the specific insult of having somebody tell you that you do n't know what music you like and that instead you should like this , we did n't want to be a part of that . I did n't want to trick anybody into buying our records . If you were n't interested , we were n't going to try to convince you . We 've conducted ourselves that way ever since . I feel like it was the right decision then and I 've been very happy with the way things have transpired in that we 've never done anything embarrassing for attention and I do n't feel like anybody would have ever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . ' Uranus ' 7 " ( 1993 ) Shellac 's second 7 " included ' Wingwalker ' which remains a near constant presence in the band 's setlists . Performances of it will invariably see the band members stretch out their arms as wide as possible and pretend to be aeroplanes ( " Look at me ! Look at me ! I 'm a plane ! " ) . Following this dance routine is a monologue delivered by Albini which he adapts from one gig to the next . SA : We play ' Wingwalker ' more often than we do n't play it , that 's for sure . It 's part of a group of songs that are in a different tuning so once we go into that tuning we have a limited menu of songs that we can play without having to return to conventional tuning . Typically what happens is we 'll decide we 're going to go into drop-D and we 'll play two or three of a group of five or six songs . ' Wingwalker ' is one of those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other songs in that group . The ' Wingwalker ' monologue is improvised , although I 'll get into a loop where certain images or phrases will stick around for a while . If you were to see us three nights running there might be some consistency to the monologue part but over the 25-year arc of the band that monologue has been quite different , era to era . The setlist itself is improvised to a degree , let 's say half the set are songs that we 're most likely going to play because we like playing them at that point , and the other half is whatever anybody comes up with off the top of his head . Then there are sections of songs that are improvised and I 'm not scrupulous about avoiding thinking about it but I do n't put any preparation into the extemporaneous parts . For example , apart from a few key phrases the whole of the text of ' The End Of Radio ' is improvised , or extemporaneous . I do n't know the difference really between improvised and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is an improv comedy theatre in Chicago and I know a lot of people who are professional improvisers so I should know the difference between improvised and extemporaneous . I feel bad now that I do n't , like I 've somehow insulted the life 's work of several of my very close friends . Apart from a few phrases ' The End Of Radio ' is different every night . The intention is that it would be whatever is on my mind at the moment , relating to radio , publicity , personality , the exploitation of show business and how celebrity as a goal is corrupting . Whatever 's on my mind ends up creeping out . 4 . At Action Park ( 1994 ) Surpassing the potential of their early singles came Shellac 's debut LP . Abrasive , sardonic , humorous , beautifully packaged and with a drum sound to die for , At Action Park proved that Albini could mature without sacrificing potency or impact . The vinyl version was available several weeks before the CD , although Albini admits that was probably @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to frustrate compact disc buyers . Here , the album 's chart success was thwarted by a certain outspoken Mancunian outfit. ? ? SA : We were on tour in England when that album was released and we made it to number two in the Indie Chart . What surprised me was that number one was a band called Oasis who I was unfamiliar with because I was an American and Americans did n't know anything about Oasis . While we were on tour , I saw a television interview with one of the brothers in Oasis . I do n't know which one . He was going on about how if he was a kid and he heard this band Oasis , they would be his favourite fucking band . They were so fucking exciting , he could n't believe how fucking incredible this band was . He was in the best fucking band there ever was and if he was n't in the band then Oasis would be his favourite band because they were so far ahead of everybody else and so much more powerful and exciting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the band is going off about how they blow him away , I really want to hear this band . " ? ? Then they followed that interview with filmed footage of that band playing a bunch of songs in concert for twenty minutes or something and I 'll assume you know what Oasis sounds like . It was fucking horrible . It 's just the most trivial , whiny reiteration of the lowest denominator of English rock and pop clich ? s . Do n't get me wrong , bearing in mind my profession , I have heard worse music . But the dissonance between this guy 's enthusiasm for the band that he was describing in the interview , which sounded like a band I would fucking love , and then the actual starts impersonating the signature Gallagher vocal bleat " aah-eee-yaaaah " of it . The dissonance was just stunning . It was like a guy talking about how impressive this bodybuilder was and then out trots a toddler infant . The more I was exposed to Oasis , the more I started to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rather than being specifically guys in a band . Maybe it does n't now but back then music had a different function in England . It was part of the general spectrum of celebrity . In America , rock bands and celebrities were two different things . Oasis did n't resonate in the US because all we were exposed to was their music which was trivial . We did n't have the luxury of the gossip , scandals and all that sort of stuff . 5 . The Futurist ( 1997 ) An unofficial follow-up to At Action Park , Shellac 's next album contained instrumental tracks originally used in a performance by the Canadian contemporary dance group La La La Human Steps . Copies of the LP were given to the 779 individuals listed on the front cover . Second-hand editions are listed for sale on the Discogs website for around $500 . Is it worth the investment ? SA : Wow . It 's a good record but when we made it we gave it away for free so it 's hard for me to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I 'm sure there are versions of it floating around online that you could listen to if you were curious . We made them to give to people who were either our personal friends or as a thank you to people who had been kind to the band or who we had worked with in some capacity and we wanted to recognise that relationship . In the same way that you might make an ashtray or a piece of furniture and give it to somebody as a gift , it was possible for us to make this record and give it away to people , so we did . Thinking about it in those terms , if I or the band gives somebody a gift , it 's really only special for that person and for anybody else it 's just a record . I understand from a fan 's standpoint of wanting to be a completist but the relationship implied by giving and receiving a gift is different from just hearing the music or owning a record . You did n't mind if people sold or got rid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . We gave it to them . It 's theirs . They can do whatever they want with it . It 's quite feasible that we gave records to people who either did n't like the record or just did n't want to be bothered with something . Especially after hearing it can be sold for $500 , I do n't understand why everybody has n't sold them . 6 . Terraform ( 1998 ) Shellac 's proper second full-length contained some of their finest material to date including ' Canada ' , ' Copper ' and other ones not beginning with C. It was n't received quite as warmly as At Action Park , perhaps on account of its lumbering 12-minute opener ' Did n't We Deserve A Look At The Way You Really Are ' . SA : Within the band , it was received perfectly well . It goes without saying that it 's an unusual thing to start a record with a long , slow , boring song . While we were writing it , the working title for that song was ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ca n't speak for Bob and Todd but I was n't thinking about other people when I formed my opinion about whether or not we should start the record with that song . It would be unusual for any of us in the band to care what other people would think about our band , its music and its decisions . I ca n't say that it has never happened but by and large our band is a very selfish enterprise . We do it for ourselves and we do it to suit ourselves . The bulk of Terraform was done at Abbey Road . It 's a great studio . Since the 80s , I 'd done quite a lot of records at Abbey Road . Their equipment is top-notch . They have a fantastic mic collection . The technical staff are absolutely stellar . As an engineer or as a musician , working there is just a terrific experience . It seemed like a natural thing to do . We were going to be on tour in England anyway and we were going to make a record @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Road . We had a great time . Great result . Great session . I recommend it . 7. 1000 Hurts ( 2000 ) " There are no 12-minute songs on this one , " read the advance caveat for 1000 Hurts , " This record is more mean-spirited . " Several of the album 's reviewers focussed on Albini 's return to hostile and sometimes unsettling lyrics . To an extent not seen since the Big Black days , critics assumed that the unsavoury characters and views inhabiting his songs were directly apropos to Albini 's own private life . ' Canaveral ' is in fact " a cynical look at John F. Kennedy as a womaniser rather than him as a statesman " . Another song is about squirrels . SA : I remember that period and thinking we had somehow gone into a nasty cul-de-sac in the text of some of those songs . I have no idea why . There was no real personal turmoil in our lives or anything . ? ? Have you seen any of the terrible acoustic covers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on YouTube ? ? ? SA : Sadly , yes . The few seconds of each that I have been able to endure have not been rewarding . I feel slightly bad that there is an earnest interpretation of that song that I ca n't get behind , even though there is another earnest interpretation of that song that I could get behind . I feel like there are dudes not getting it who think I am voicing their deepest thoughts when I am trying to expose a fundamental weakness in a male identity . Are you aware of Frank Turner 's version ? SA : I do n't know who Frank Turner is . He 's a sort of libertarian Billy Bragg figure from Hampshire with a fashionable beard . SA : That sounds horrible . I like the actual socialist Billy Bragg . What 's his name ? I 'm going to Google this fucker after we 're done . However bad it is , whatever cringing I have to do when this is over , it 's on you . He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with his own " situation in life " which makes you wonder if he 's one of those dudes who 's maybe not getting it. ? SA : Everything you 've said to me makes me think I want this guy to jump in well but I have n't actually heard his music and I 'm not familiar with him so I 'm going to maintain the indifference of ignorance for now . 8 . Excellent Italian Greyhound ( 2007 ) Shellac 's fourth album is their most experimental to date though perhaps " playful " would be the more appropriate term . It opens with the aforementioned ' The End Of Radio ' ( not quite as long as ' Did n't We Deserve ... ' but still ambitious ) . There are moments of silence , spoken-word passages , a section where Bob Weston starts paying direct homage to Fugazi 's final album The Argument and the LP ends in fits of absurdly incoherent screaming . SA : I remember feeling like we were much more light-hearted about the material and I remember being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Uffizi was Todd 's dog . He lived to be a geriatric Italian greyhound and he was Todd 's closest companion for fifteen or sixteen years before he died . He was genuinely a member of our extended family and definitely a member of Todd 's family . I was very pleased that he was immortalised on that cover . We 're basically a rock band but that 's leavened with a few experimental impulses which we indulge . There 's a saying in statistics that streaks are not predictable , they 're only accountable . You can look back on a string of results and say we flipped the coin a hundred times and we had seven in a row that were heads . You can only see that after it 's happened . You ca n't predict it . The overall tone of any of our records is only discernible in hindsight . While we 're making them , we 're just pursuing whatever 's on our minds at the moment . When we put together a collection of songs to make a record , it develops @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ happens to be . You can recognise that once it 's done but it 's not like we set out to make a more jovial record . 9 . Dude Incredible ( 2014 ) Albini says that , generally speaking , his favourite Shellac record tends to be the one they 've recorded most recently . He 's particularly fond of the " novel playing " on Dude Incredible ( no comma ! ) and the moment when all three band members sing in unison because that 's something they 'd never attempted before . Far from being a concept album , Dude Incredible does contain a significant proportion of surveyor-themed material . SA : That was part of a weird conversational loop that Bob and I got into , Todd much less so . I think Todd was a little baffled by the surveyor business . I read somewhere that most of the early patriots in the Revolutionary War period had been surveyors . George Washington , for example , had drawn maps of this new country they were living in . It occurred to me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a place was literally pacing it off , measuring it and drawing a map of it . That gives you an immediate first-hand appreciation of a place that you really ca n't get otherwise . There 's a stupid trend in American politics right now with people who have no experience with politics and no grasp of public service as a profession just deciding that they 're going to jump into it . There 's a senator called Ben Sasse who 's president of a university and he 's just , " Hey , I bet I could be a senator " . Kid Rock is running for senate in Michigan . I would n't let that motherfucker babysit , much less be a fucking senator . The obvious figurehead of this whole " I am an idiot , therefore I can be a politician " is Donald Trump . People think that ignorance of a profession is somehow qualifying for that profession . It 's utterly baffling . I like the idea that , whatever other qualifications they had , the people who set the groundwork for our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the place they were talking about . They had walked up and down it , they had seen all of it , and they had drawn it out by hand . It would be awesome if it were a requirement for public office to have drawn a map of your constituency , forcing you to go into every alley and meet every person and draw out the boundaries so you knew where every pothole in the road was . I also think as requirement for holding public office you should have to be able to demonstrate that you had taken psychedelic drugs at least once . Having a psychedelic experience ought to be a requirement for a college degree and it ought to be a requirement for holding public office . Have you had many psychedelic experiences ? ? ? SA : I would n't say many . Enough . I do n't think it takes a lot . I also think it could be problematic , if you spend most of your time in the psychedelic world then you would probably stop being able to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But I do think that psychedelic experience was important for me in opening my mind up to appreciating things on a granular level and being willing to take seriously notions and ideas that other people might be dismissing. ? ? Is n't it punk rock to undertake something with no skills or experience ? SA : The consequences for failing at guitar are considerably less than the consequences for failing at governance . I have no qualms with expertise , especially when other people 's lives are on the line . I do n't think expertise is anything to scoff at . I was in a bicycle accident recently . I broke my collarbone . I know I have an excellent orthopaedic doctor because of his professional certifications and also because when I mention him to other orthopaedic doctors they all revere him and talk about how good he is . That gives me confidence in pursuing the therapy that he 's recommended . It gives me confidence in his assessment of my injury . When he says I can go on tour on Wednesday , I do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was somebody with no medical training who just looked at the lump in my chest and said , " Yeah , that 's probably all right , I would ice it , that 's what I would do . " There should be no shame in knowing what you 're doing . I do n't understand denigrating people for being good at things . 10 . The Steady Softening Of Steven Frank Albini During his Big Black and Rapeman tenures , Albini was accused of racism , misogyny , misanthropy and being a retrogressive grumpypants on a fairly regular basis . That 's what 'll happen if you think it 's a good idea to name your band after an offensive Japanese comic book character called Rapeman . Before that , other indiscretions in his interviews , lyrics , zine writings and onstage patter fuelled the furore as well . Nowadays , the popular perception has Albini listed as a veritable white knight of indie rock . He sings about political resistance , reform and social decency and is wary of tracks like ' Prayer To God ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ play fun and inclusive shows often with female and feminist acts in the support slot . Let 's refrain from saying he 's grown all cuddly but what exactly happened ? SA : Over the last thirty years or so , I have definitely become more enlightened about corners of the social spectrum that I had less exposure to as a young man . I 've interacted with more poor people , more minorities and more sexual minorities . As you get more people from different backgrounds involved in your life , you get a broader perspective and you 're less cavalier about your opinions . I married a staunch feminist so I hear the feminist perspective on most things on a daily basis and I feel like that 's been good for me in helping my enlightenment . It 's a long process . I started out as a relatively ignorant , privileged white kid with minimal exposure to minorities . I grew up in Montana which is a monoculture , almost . It was n't until I came to Chicago and got involved in the music scene @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of any significance in my life . It 's taken me a long time but I feel like my perspective on things is more rational and more balanced now than it was . I probably shoot my mouth off slightly less than I did . I 'm less certain of things now than I was when I was more ignorant . In terms of other people 's perception of me , that 's their business . There are people who I have never met but , for whatever reason , I am certain that these people are jack-offs . I 've never met Billy Joel , I do n't know the first thing about Billy Joel , but I 'm absolutely convinced he 's an asshole . I ca n't justify that opinion , that 's just what I think . He 's probably an asshole . But my opinion about Billy Joel is n't going to affect him in the slightest . It should make no difference to him . It does n't really make any difference to me . In the same way , I am sure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I am an asshole , for whatever reason . They might even feel more justified than I feel about my presumptive opinion of Billy Joel . I think I used Sylvester Stallone as an example previously . Sylvester Stallone is probably more of an asshole than Billy Joel . Even there , I do n't know those guys , I do n't know the first thing about either of them , but I was able to rank them into who was the biggest asshole . That was a very modest pleasure that I just got out of ranking Sylvester Stallone above Billy Joel as who was the worst asshole but it was a little diversion and of course other people should be free to form those kind of utterly ignorant opinions about me . If it lightens their load a bit and lets them get through the day a little easier to be able to go , " I bet that Albini guy is a real dick " , I 'm fine with that . It 's not going to affect me . That guy 's opinion is n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on a daily basis so he 's welcome to it . Opinions about me are none of my business . Those are for other people and I do n't want to begin to care about it . So has the critical perspective on me shifted ? I do n't know and I do n't want to care . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('someone at the label must have talked us out of putting it on an album'). It involves a prevention interpretation ('someone prevented us from putting it on an album'). The verb 'talked' fits the classification of verbs that appear in the V1 slot (by means of verbal persuasion). The NP object 'us' functions as a causee, and the sentence can be paraphrased to show the prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

With their first new album in 16 years arriving this Friday , now is the perfect time to investigate Arab Strap and why they are one of the UK 's most beloved underground bands . They take Rob Hakimian through their discography , from regular weekends ' on a permo ' , to reckoning with the green-eyed monster , to their recent rejuvenation This week , Arab Strap , the Scottish duo of Aidan Moffat and Malcolm Middleton , will release their seventh full-length , As Days Get Dark . It 's their first new album since 2005 's The Last Romance , which capped off a prolific ten years of endless album releases and tours that saw the band grow to one of the UK 's most beloved cult acts . Understandably , Arab Strap were pretty burnt out after a fairly breathless decade -- and it was n't just the music that had been sapping their energy . As Moffat details time and again in his autobiographical missives , they were quite active on the pub and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into their thirties . With that came plenty of highs , lows and a seemingly endless string of sordid hookups . That all of these events were high on the agenda for discussion in Arab Strap 's music is what won them so many admirers , especially as they were not ones to polish them up for public consumption -- in classic Scottish fashion , they are more often the antagonists in their own work . Jealousy , depression , lust and bitterness are regular shades for Arab Strap , whose lyrics could fill a year 's worth of gossip magazines . Sonically , what started as a band based around two mates fucking with a drum machine and some guitars gradually grew to incorporate strings , piano and more adventurous arrangements . True to the pair 's ramshackle nature , the songs were rarely written prior to going to the studio , so they pretty often ended up raw or skeletal , only to evolve on tour . This has turned out to be yet another winning feature for Arab Strap , as their studio work has a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on stage they can rouse the masses . With their long-awaited comeback album upon us , now is the perfect time to revisit their back catalogue . For those diving into their work for the first time , their canonical discography provides a rich world to get lost in -- and it can be quite dizzying merely listening to the amount of drugs and sex that they were investing themselves in during those days . For this piece , Moffat and Middleton themselves have picked out ten songs , spanning their entire discography , that form a snaking thread through squalid basements and questionable choices . In listening to their recollections of writing and recording these songs , what 's striking is just how often they returned to the same well of self-absorption and self-deprecation , and yet they kept returning with buckets of gold . Listening to Arab Strap is like sitting down in a local pub with old friends and catching up , so to actually get to spend some time talking to the two men responsible for these years ' worth of snort-inducing stories is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ through the key points of Arab Strap 's discography . Aidan Moffat : It was the first thing we recorded , on a Thursday afternoon -- Thursday was my day off work -- at Stewart the postman 's flat . We went round to use his four track . I think it 's funny looking back at it , because a lot of what we ended up doing is in that song ; it 's got the acoustic guitar , the sexually frank spoken lyrics , and a sort of cold scientific look at sex and love . It 's amazing how much of Arab Strap was in that to start with . Malcolm Middleton : It was just about fun . I was just making tapes for passing on to friends , but it was quite obvious straight away that there was a wee thing there a bit different from other stuff we 'd been doing . The thing that it starts with about the woman 's orgasm releasing oxytocin , is that something you 'd read ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It was a girls magazine that came out every fortnight . It used to do position of the fortnight and it was very big in the 90s . I read that in More ! -- I was an avid reader . AM : I went through a phase of not enjoying ' The First Big Weekend ' at all because it became the song that was the only song people knew by us , and that kinda annoyed me for a while . But I 've come to love it again , and we owe everything to ' The First Big Weekend ' . It seemed to capture people 's ears at the time . The only reason I wrote that was because I did n't have anything else , so I just said , " Fuck it . I 'll write what we did at the weekend . It 'll be quite funny , " and it seemed to work , by magic . That may have been a tame weekend at the time , to be honest . I think we probably lived a far more rock @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was a time when we were both on the dole , and I do n't know how we managed but we seemed to be out all the time -- it was great ! MM : We were very young , it was a long time ago . AM : It was n't on the first album at the time , and then it did really well , and we realised that it would be absolute madness not to put it on there . It does kind of stick out a bit on the album , but I think it works because the rest of the album 's about the morning after and the come downs , and right in the middle was this big party . So either side of it was just sheer misery and darkness . MM : We thought we were making a quietly funny humorous sensitive delicate record . And then we did this silly party song that then became like a thing that launched us , so it 's funny . AM : I think John Peel played it first , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like non-stop for a couple of weeks . We had no plans to be a live band , there 's only two of us , but then Chemikal Underground booked us on a John Peel session live from King Tut 's , so we had to get a band ready and panic and do all the proper band stuff , which we were n't even planning on doing . MM : We got a local punk band from Falkirk and ended up doing really fast versions of our songs . AM : I was absolutely shitting myself . I mean , I was pretty drunk -- you can tell listening to it -- it was the only way I could cope with it . That 's all I ever dreamed about as far as music was concerned ; get a Peel Session , that would be me happy -- and that was the first thing that we did . MM : We did a nice quiet acoustic studio version that was on the Girls Of Summer EP , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it just completely changed and became this bigger thing . I 've not even heard the original since we did it probably . When we recorded it on 1999 live album Mad For Sadness , lots more people heard it and it became what we probably think is a fan favourite , because it always gets a great reaction when we play it live . Maybe they 're just glad when it finishes because it 's so long ; Aidan needs toilet breaks because he drinks so much on stage , so we had to add instrumental sections . AM : I ca n't do it in ' Girls Of Summer ' now though because I play the keyboards on it . So my toilet break 's gone . That 's why the instrumental of ' New Birds ' is a wee bit longer , so that I can wander off and go to the toilet . AM : After I wrote the first line " it was the biggest cock you 'd ever seen " that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was kind of obvious that it was a good place to start . Unfortunately , everything on Philophobia is true as well ; there 's not a single lie on there -- well , there 's maybe an occasional bending of the truth , but ' Packs Of Three ' is all true . I made a point of never mentioning any names , so only the people in Falkirk knew who I was talking about , and even then it was just our circle of friends who knew about it . But it did n't go down that well . Was it pretty common at the time for you and your group of friends to talk frankly about your sexual escapades ? Even among exes and stuff ? MM : I think it was just Aidan . AM : Maybe it was just me . In a sense , I kind of felt I was always talking to Malcolm in the songs and that 's stuff that we talked about quite a lot back then . Falkirk 's quite a small place with close-knit communities , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when the girls we went out with sort of crossed over a bit , if you know what I mean . MM : Aidan was going out in Glasgow more , and I 'd be in the studio waiting for him to turn up . I would n't know who 'd be coming in that day because whoever he met in the pub the night before would have been roped in to coming and playing violin , cello , piano . AM : There 's a sense of humour in most of our stuff . There 's no point writing miserable songs . Nobody wants to wallow in misery , you have to temper it a bit with the occasional joke . I mean , it 's a song about an AIDS test -- it 's not a happy subject ! I 'd like to think it 's got a couple of amusing moments in it . Dark humour is in Scotland 's blood , you know , it 's something that we 're all into here -- and also making fun of yourself . I 'm always @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ worst person in the situation , the worst person in the room . I think that 's important too . AM : I chose that one because I think it 's one of the best things we did in that period . Again , it 's all true ; it 's the green eyed monster that comes out after too many pints , I suppose . Someone had stayed overnight with my girlfriend and played my PlayStation and it was hard not to think something had happened . You know , alcohol clouds your judgment -- although , as it transpires , I think it was probably right , anyway . Were you a big gamer at the time ? AM : Aye , that would have been a PS1 at the time . MM : We took it on tour in the Travelodges with us . I remember playing this tennis game that came out at the time . AM : Oh , Anna Kournikova 's tennis ! MM : Aidan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rules or the confines of the game and he 'd be like , " Why did it not do that when I pushed the button ? " You 'd just do that every night ; the same same argument every night . AM : I remember there was one tour when we basically went through Silent Hill . Every night after a gig we sat and played Silent Hill for hours until we completed it four times . MM : We left Chemikal Underground to go to the Universal imprint Go ! Beat for Elephant Shoe and then came back to Chemikal . This was our coming back EP , and someone at the label must have talked us out of putting it on an album because we kind of regretted later on that ' Rocket ' was n't on the record . We liked the idea of it being a standalone thing , like a really good song somewhere where hardly anyone can hear it ; indie band obtuseness . Again , playing that live is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ AM : It 's brilliant to play , that 's my favourite moment live . The studio version 's got a real 808 drum machine on it , which is one of the reasons I 'm very fond of it . But when we were recording , the drum machine was broken and you could n't program it . So what we had to do is record the drums , every single drum from each channel into the desk , and then mix the drums rather than program it , so we had to mute drums here and there . It was a fucking pain in the arse but I think I feel that was quite a good achievement , because we had the worst 808 in Glasgow at the time . I 'll give you a bit of trivia : the person in the song that I 'm singing to there is Stewart from Mogwai . We 'd had a mad night out , and we were sitting in Kelvingrove Park . The bit about the city being tropical and all that kind of stuff , we were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Kelvingrove Park . Good times . AM : I think it 's one of the best examples of us doing -- I would n't call it dance music , but using dance elements and guitars . I think the record 's got a nice subtlety about it that I 've always really liked . Also the live version again , playing it is one of the biggest highlights of the set for me , I really enjoy playing it . It 's not so subtle anymore , because we have a bigger band and it 's gotten a bit livelier . MM : It 's a good song . It 's comforting and it 's got a good atmosphere to it . I have no idea what it 's about , but it 's one of those things little phrases poke out rather than having a story , like " you always jump and quiver . " It 's nice , poetic . It ends on quite a depressing note : " We might never @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't depressing to me because that was just that was just about staying out all the time . That 's about being on a constant high -- a ' permo ' , as they call it . AM : After The Red Thread I split up with a mid-term girlfriend and I found myself being single in a nice wee flat in Glasgow . I just had a couple of years of having a really good fucking time , and ' The Shy Retirer ' was born from that . I 'd go to a lot of clubs , mainly Optimo , which I used to go to probably every weekend for at least two years . I 'm all over the place on the album because I was literally quite all over the place at that point . But I 'm not trying to elicit sympathy there . I had a fucking brilliant time . MM : I think I was still living in Falkirk , and I do n't know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the club . I went a few times , but not much . AM : ' The Shy Retirer ' started with Malcolm posting me a cassette to Glasgow I think , and it had just a guitar part on it . I did n't have a computer at that point , in 2002 . I 've absolutely no idea how that came about . As I say , I had a really good time back , so I think things just happened . In that song , you reference Jenny Agutter . Was she a big crush ? AM : There 's a scene in Walkabout where she comes across a pond and she goes for a nude swim . And I mean , I must have been nine or ten when I first saw that , and it was the first time I remember ever feeling any sort of sexual attraction . AM : I think it 's the best-sounding one we did , rock-wise . It 's maybe not necessarily the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get the mix right on a rock song -- on our last album ! MM : I remember sending Aidan a lovely little slow acoustic guitar thing and he just said " speed it up and put it through a distortion pedal " . And I was like , " Well , it 's a really nice , kind of picky quiet acoustic thing , " and he 's like , " Nope . " AM : What probably happened is that I started thinking about words when I heard the acoustic version , and then as the feeling and the words grew I started to think that maybe it should be a bit louder . And then I got angrier and angrier , and next thing you 've got this wee rock beast . AM : This is inspired by the Madagascan ceremony Famadihana . I was reading about death rituals and things , which , as I get older , seem to be occupying my mind more and more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ romance , but also there 's a wee sly nod to us reforming as well . MM : The plan was to do anniversary gigs after being separated for ten years , and then it just led on to like , " Let 's try some recording , and if it works , it works , but if it does n't , it does n't . " And ' Bones ' worked . We would n't have used saxophones or congas before , but it did n't feel like it was over the top or out of place in the song , it felt quite natural . AM : When it came out as a single , the response was great . It 's exactly what we hoped for in that people could hear Arab Strap in it , but we did n't want it to sound like the old Arab Strap , we 're not trying to re-capture that sound . MM : We did n't want to make ' Oxytocin ' part two . AM : No , but because we did it with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that was what was exciting about it . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('bleeds the fun out of trying your luck at the slot machine and leveling up your village'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the action of 'bleeding the fun' prevents the enjoyment of 'trying your luck at the slot machine and leveling up your village'. The verb 'bleeds' metaphorically exerts a force, fitting into the semantic classification of verbs that can appear in the V1 slot. The NP object 'the fun' is semantically a causee affected by the action, and the sentence allows for a clear interpretation aligned with the transitive out of -ing construction's properties.

Dyson Joining its lineup of the Supersonic dryer , Airwrap multi-styler and Corrale , the Airstrait is Dyson 's latest innovation . It was created to solve two challenges detailed as the most pressing by its customers : lack of time and straightening prowess .

DYSON Best : all-rounder The benefits of Dyson vacuum cleaners are well known and the new Submarine model adds yet another member to the brand 's hard-working cordless range . The Submarine vacuum mop combination comes with a wet roller head , fluffy cleaner head , standard cleaner head and hair screw tool that can all be easily attached and detached depending on the task at hand . The wet roller head works on hard floors releasing clean water to remove spills and stains , from paw prints to toothpaste . It took us a while to detach and attach the water container but once figured out , the machine was ready and it propelled forward with ease , gathering @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whirring sound whilst in use . This model felt heavier than other Dyson cleaners we have tested , but still moved around the space well and was particularly efficient underneath furniture . We noted that the wet roller did not lose connection to the floor even when tilting the whole vacuum downwards to reach underneath the sofa . We think the Dyson is the workhorse of the vacuum mop world , with interchangeable tools and heads for every possible household task , including a nozzle to reach tight spaces behind furniture that a larger vacuum ca n't reach . The wet roller can be removed from the machine for cleaning and maintenance . Overall it has all the premium features you might expect from a Dyson and is a great option for people who need one appliance that does it all , from a quick run around the house to a full-blown spring clean .

The price tag is punchy , sure , but as stick vacuums go , it does a stellar job on carpets . Myriad tools allow users to reach those fiddly nooks that a bulky head ca n't . For parents and pet owners , there 's also the added bonus of a HEPA filter and smart particle detection system to suck up any potential allergens and nasties dislodged from cleaning . Much like its V15 successor , the V12 model has smart functions like the Piezo Sensor that counts and sizes up particles and adapts the suction power to suit .

The Motorbar attachment has a built-in detangler so no more unpleasant picking hair out the attachments as is the case with less technologically savvy models .

This is not what Mark Bullingham meant by " really exciting for the English game " . England , going into a difficult must-win game with nine players , including some of the squad 's biggest stars , withdrawing from national duty . With the captain , Harry Kane , so angry as to use an ITV interview to call colleagues out . " England comes before anything , " Kane said . " It 's a tough period of the season and maybe that 's been taken advantage of a little bit . I do n't really like it . England comes before any club situation . " The FA had been trying to brush off the absenteeism as normal , as down to a natural spike in unavailability bound to occur around November internationals , when the club season is beginning to take its toll . Kane will lead out a new-look England line-up at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But nine is not normal . There is nothing natural about nine -- not when that number includes five players ( Cole Palmer , Phil Foden , Levi Colwill , Aaron Ramsdale and Jarrad Branthwaite ) who played the entirety of their clubs ' Premier League games at the weekend . Kane nearly always hits the target and his words -- " England is the most important thing you play as a professional footballer " -- will have landed very uncomfortably on some . On an immediate level the captain is calling out a situation that leaves Lee Carsley wondering which kids he can pitch in at the forbidding Olympic Stadium in Athens , where Greece have not lost in three years . The former Greek international , Nikos Dabizas , told The Times this Nations League match is his country 's " biggest game in ten years " and yet Carsley landed in town with a squad that is now makeshift and light on experience . Three Lions and a lot of kittens . In Carsley 's travelling party of 23 players are six @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of senior international football to his name . Kane made the point that Gareth Southgate spent years steering away from a culture where playing for England was a chore not an honour to stars . It was there when Southgate arrived , in the wake of England 's all-time debacle against Iceland at Euro 2016 and Sam Allardyce 's farcical reign of 68 days , one game and one infamous pint of wine . Kane shared Southgate 's belief that nothing in football is more important than playing for England EDITH GEUPPERT -- GES SPORTFOTO/GETTY IMAGES Southgate was an interim like Carsley at first and found that players can be cynical when there is someone in charge who they know might not be there for long . The squad Southgate picked for his first games , in October 2016 against Malta and Slovenia , was beset by withdrawals . He was then appalled when he tried to draft in some standby players and they declined , preferring to take a two-week break . From there , a lot of Southgate 's culture work -- with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of representing England , with legacy numbers introduced and former greats like Sir Bobby Charlton honoured at St George 's Park . But Southgate also bared his teeth . In his quiet way of course . Those who pulled out of playing without good reason were not condemned publicly but nor , again , were they picked . He was " hot " on England being paramount , reflected Kane , " and he were n't afraid to make decisions if that started to drift from certain players " . The FA suggests otherwise but common sense tells you that allowing Thomas Tuchel to start work in January is a factor . Having signed his contract as England 's new permanent manager on October 8 , Greece could have been his first game . To be expected were the withdrawals of Declan Rice ( broken toe ) , Trent Alexander-Arnold ( hamstring ) , Bukayo Saka ( hamstring ) and Jack Grealish ( who has missed Manchester City 's past six games with an unspecified knock sustained in training ) but the others ? The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ incentive to declare oneself fit . Palmer , who made his senior international debut a year ago , is one of four players to have pulled out of Carsley 's squad having played all 90 minutes in the league at the weekend CRYSTAL PIX/MB MEDIA/GETTY IMAGES There is an upside -- potentially . It just has n't been communicated very well . Bullingham , the FA chief executive , stumbled at Tuchel 's unveiling when asked why the German was not starting immediately . He should have encouraged Tuchel to expand on a remark that it was his choice to wait before beginning because he wants to " narrow it his reign into a project and not lose the focus , to start in another competition , the Nations League , then go into World Cup qualification and the tournament " . Nothing is more important to Tuchel than the psychology of things . He studies his substitutes and if he sees one who does not seem fully engaged with the game , he wo n't put them on . In the book Edge : Leadership @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Ben Lyttleton , that shaping the personality of his players is as important as improving their football . His assistant , Anthony Barry , told me Tuchel was on a " different level " to other coaches he has worked with because he " speaks about position play , about spaces , and a lot about behaviour rather than structure . That 's different to the English idea . Behaviour on the ball , on the pitch , in every aspect of the game . Behaviour is what brings structure to life . Behaviours are the building blocks that make the difference for the top teams . " And so it is with this in mind that Tuchel chose a 2025 starting date . He is not shy about his aim -- to win the 2026 World Cup -- and having sized up the " how " believes his best shot is to come in like a whirlwind , for a relatively short period , with everything focused on that from day one . His first internationals will be in March @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the games in spring 2026 and then it will be summer and into the tournament cycle . Having won the Champions League with Chelsea after just four intense months at Stamford Bridge Tuchel believes there is value in working at sprint pace . " It starts for us in January , " he said at his unveiling . " We will dive in . " For the FA , the whole Tuchel appointment is about the end justifying the means . If England win the World Cup few will care the coach is foreign . If England win the World Cup the mess of Athens , and the spectacle we see now of a depleted and riven squad , will be forgotten . Bullingham , and the technical director John McDermott , will hope the upside of the January start date proves worth it . For now , though , a big game of football to be won . With kids . And Kane firing truth bombs like unerring shots . |

In Tuesday 's episode , we learned that she had lied to her youngest son Barney Mitchell ( Lewis Bridgeman ) and had not been living abroad in recent years but had actually been serving time in prison for ABH ( assault occasioning actual bodily harm ) , having run a crooked cosmetic business . Despite a firm rejection by ex-husband Teddy Mitchell ( Roland Manookian ) and even being pushed away by sons Harry and Barney , Nicola remained determined to stick around for her sons and prove herself to them .

When you purchase through links on our site , we may earn an affiliate commission . Here 's how it works . ( Image credit : BioWare , Electronic Arts ) I think it 's fair to say that Dragon Age : The Veilguard is a game that was developed to be as safe as possible . Complex moral issues are completely bypassed , quest choices are rather simplistic , and ' The Gods ' are just token evil characters that must be destroyed . I 'm okay with all of that because the game itself has been lots of fun to play and complete . Compared to previous Dragon Age games and other BioWare classics , I never felt particularly invested in any of the characters I interacted with , but again , not a problem as the combat more than made up for it . The writing and voice acting are partly to blame here but I think it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ predictable . That 's because BioWare rolled out lots of elements it has used in previous classics , and having already played the living daylights out of the Mass Effect and previous Dragon Age games , none of the twists and turns in the story were unfamiliar .

It was a full-blown emotional gut punch and although I wish it had n't occurred at the time , in retrospect , I wish Dragon Age : The Veilguard had a lot more moments like it . Naturally , to explain what I saw is going to involve an awful lot of spoilers , so if you do n't want to know about what lies ahead , then back on out of here . G'wan now , scoot . Still here ? Right , then . If you 've played Mass Effect 2 , you 'll probably guess where I 'm heading with this .

Veilguard has a similar thing and that 's made pretty clear very early on in the game , where different factions have strength ratings that you can improve , as well as the ' bond ' levels you have with each primary NPC . Towards the end of Act 2 , you 're given a main quest called Isle of the Gods . You all pile into ' Teh g0ds ' main base to defeat the baddies but , naturally , you have to split your forces . So far , so familiar , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the second team , as I 'd got him to full strength , and completed all his sidequests , involving Assan , his loyal griffon . I do n't know if exactly the same thing that I experienced would happen if you picked someone else but I 've only played the whole game through once . Besides , picking him made sense , as he 's a Grey Warden and built like a proverbial brick house . ( Image credit : BioWare , Electronic Arts ) So I set off , hacked my way through hordes of enemies , to eventually come face-to-face with one of ' thE G0dz ' ... sorry , Ghilan'nain . Cue a very protracted punch-up that was a little more frustrating and drawn out than I expected it to be . Still , I was making headway with relatively few tears and not a single save game reload . Safe . But then a cutscene kicked in , as I moved in to free Lucanis so he could go all stabby-stabby with the wonder dagger . Davrin makes an appearance , doing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as Ghilan'nain plunges her tentacles through his chest . He then falls into a gaping maw of blight and as he falls , you hear Assan scream and fly in after him . For a brief moment , I thought the griffon would explode free , clutching his fallen master , because everything had been all so safe and simple thus far . But no , BioWare did its thing and there would be no saving of the Warden and his faithful companion . They 're both consumed by the blight . It was a loss I was n't prepared for ; it was a loss I absolutely did n't want . I 've had so many pets in my life , it was like losing one of them all over again . If you want to experience it for yourself , without playing the game , just watch the video above . But why BioWare , why ? I did everything right , I made sure everyone was as strong and as well-equipped as possible . Sure , Grey Wardens make the ultimate sacrifice to take @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ After all , with almost every other aspect of the game being so safe you could have it babysitting a toddler , it just felt far too much of an emotional jolt . As much as it genuinely hurt to watch that cutscene again , I 'm glad BioWare chose to do it . Mostly because it induced so much rage that I went on an absolute rampage through the rest of the game , battering the living daylights out of anything that moved ( or did n't ) , to the point where I 'd finished Veilguard without really noticing . I 'm replaying Dragon Age : The Veilguard to get the last few achievements but now I 'm faced with a genuine dilemma . There 's absolutely no way I 'm having Assan die again , so who do I pick this time ? It wo n't be Harding , that 's for sure , as she 's awesome , but what if I 'm forced to do so ? Hang on a second , what happened to the game being all safe and cosy ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 1981 , with the love affair starting on a Sinclair ZX81 in kit form and a book on ZX Basic . He ended up becoming a physics and IT teacher , but by the late 1990s decided it was time to cut his teeth writing for a long defunct UK tech site . He went on to do the same at Madonion , helping to write the help files for 3DMark and PCMark . After a short stint working at Beyond3D.com , Nick joined Futuremark ( MadOnion rebranded ) full-time , as editor-in-chief for its gaming and hardware section , YouGamers . After the site shutdown , he became an engineering and computing lecturer for many years , but missed the writing bug . Cue four years at TechSpot.com and over 100 long articles on anything and everything . He freely admits to being far too obsessed with GPUs and open world grindy RPGs , but who is n't these days ? |

Luis Palma has opened up on his personal struggles as he looks to fight his way back into the Celtic team . The winger is back in the Honduran national squad for the double-header against Mexico despite limited game time with the Hoops in recent weeks . Palma has made just two starts for Celts under Brendan Rodgers this season but he revealed he 's also been dealing with heartache following the loss of a close family member . The 24-year-old is determined to force his way back in the champions ' side with a busy spell on the horizon -- including next month 's Premier Sports Cup showdown with Rangers . Palma said : " The truth is that I am very hurt to lose a family member and the people who from the beginning were supporting me for my future .

Palma 's side are gunning for revenge after being left raging at some of the refereeing decisions in Mexico City .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'rule Derby out of being relegated' which does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction as described.

The former West Brom and Wolves striker , turned pundit , points to the fact more than half of Saturday 's starting XI moved to Pride Park in the last transfer window . While the likes of Jacob Widell Zetterstrom , Nat Phillips , Kenzo Goudmijn , Kayden Jackson and Jerry Yates were new faces , Ebou Adams turned his loan into a permanent deal -- and all played their part in the 1-1 draw .

It 's strange to think that the best dating apps and sites of today only date back 30 years , and the boom in their use only ten to 20 . It sometimes feels as though the jargon surrounding swiping left or right on Tinder has been around forever -- even more so if you 're currently single with the intention of mingling . On the pull without using a single dating app ? It 's possible , but unwise . The fact of the matter is that these dating apps have absolutely transformed the way that we date and have sex . Chances are , if you 're on the look out for a hook-up , a polyamorous partner , a kink exploration , a long-term relationship , or a little from every column , you 'll need to use one at some point . And so we come to the heart of the matter : which of these dating apps @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you choose between your eHarmonys and your Hinges if your mates ' experiences with them are as personal as they are with sex toys ? Here at British GQ , we put our heads together to come up with an answer . Our comprehensive rundown of the best dating apps has been compiled by several members of the British GQ team . In fact , most of the picks below have been test-driven by at least one of our writers and editors ; you can see their testimony in the corresponding slides . Where we 've chosen from outside of our direct experience , we 've relied on both anecdotal recommendations from friends and family , as well as online reviews and reputation . 1/13 You might think statistics are n't sexy , but wait until you hear that eHarmony matches 70 per cent of its members with a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is out . One of the oldest and best-known brands , it also has over five million users for you to potentially match with ... and that 's just in the UK . The secret ? A patented ' eHarmony Compatibility Matching System ' that helps you only see like-minded people with personality traits that gel with yours . Pros & Cons Pros Millions of potential matches Personality matching tech Cons You 'll have to pay to write original Ice Breakers 2/13 With 3 million users in the UK alone , Match.com is another OG in the game . The app and site claims to have matched 1.6 million users , perhaps in part due to the clean and easy interface the brand presents . You 'll see one profile at a time , though unlike Tinder ( which Match Group also owns , FYI ) , these personal ads are much more about the whole person than just the best selfie in their arsenal . Pros & Cons @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ potential matches Cons You 'll have to pay to write original messages 3/13 Feeld has become the home of the polyamorous , and a great place to look for thirds , fourths or ways to either join -- or expand -- an open relationship . Very similar in design to Tinder ( as most apps are if they found fame in its wake ) Feeld is praised for being an inclusive space for people to explore kinks and fetishes without judgement . Far more open-minded than many of its counterparts , Feeld 's user experience mirrors that . There are over 20 gender and sexuality labels to choose from , and couples or friends can join together if they wish to explore potential matches together . It 's free to do so , and to chat and send photos with connections , but if you want to see who 's liked you ( before you swipe ) or add private photos which only your connections can see you 'll have to pay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cons Pros Exploring fetishes Inclusive Cons Niche 4/13 Since it once allowed users to meet friends of friends , Hinge began as the virtual equivalent to a wedding . Now , it 's one of the most popular dating apps out there , mostly due to its healthy balance of photos and personal details . The smartest part ? You can match with someone by liking a reply they 've made to a prompt rather than simply showing appreciation for a picture . Since it favours all-rounders and offers most of its features for free , it 's a spectacular alternative to the hook-up culture on Tinder . When Hinge swelled in popularity , back in around 2018 , users -- including Brit Dawson -- were sceptical about its format , specifically the requirement to answer three prompts , like , ' They key to my heart is ... ' . Already inherently cringe by nature ( trying to sell yourself to potential dates ? Horrible ! ) , a dating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that 's exactly why it 's one of the best . You can find out who 's funny , charming , and who , by way of refusing to join in with the prompts , has no personality . Anecdotally , it 's also one of the best to bag a long-term partner , which Brit can attest to , having met her boyfriend on the app back in 2019 . I guess the key to her heart was , er , Hinge . Pros & Cons Pros Millions of potential matches ( worldwide ) Equal focus on personality and looks Cons Anecdotal reputation for ghosters 5/13 While most dating apps wo n't discriminate against older profiles , OurTime provides a dedicated platform for those seeking a more mature partner who is swimming in the over-50s dating pool . A simple app that provides safe online chat features to arrange real-life meet-ups , OurTime eschews rigorous personality tests and algorithms in place of pairings based on shared interests , location @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tech , it makes up for in its engaged community who wo n't just swipe right for anyone , you know . Simple to use , OurTime is as classic as the people who use it : all you 'll need to do is make a simple profile complete with picture and you 'll be able to see local members or search for people OurTime suggests . You can send flirts , likes and virtual gifts , but if you want to chat with potential matches ( and we presume you will ) , you 'll have to pay . Pros & Cons Pros Engaged community Ideal for over-50s Cons No matchmaking tech 6/13 Resigned to the ubiquity of technology but sick of doing all your dating online ? Thursday is for you . Every Thursday , it allows you to make a maximum of ten matches and arrange a date for that evening ( or , if you 're feeling rebellious , the next ) . If nothing has transpired within that window ? The match @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when you could always revisit the vibe . If you 're trying to minimise the amount of time you 're spending endlessly scrolling through dating apps , it might be time to switch to this , Sarah* reckons . Going live only on , you guessed it , Thursdays , you have 24 hours to either match with other people in your area and organise a date -- or attend one of the weekly events to meet a bunch of people at once . While we 've yet to hear of a success story from this app ( not to say that they are n't out there ) , if there 's one thing Thursday can do , it 's help focus your time and stop the ceaseless scrolling , while also attending some fun events . Pros & Cons Pros Bringing back IRL dating Keeps you focused Cons More admin-heavy than others 7/13 Whitney Wolfe is the person behind Bumble , and as one of the initial founders of Tinder , she 's been more than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ethos of redressing the gender power imbalance on other apps and sites , Bumble requires the woman to make the first move after matching . If no chat starts within a day , the match disappears . Now one of the safest dating apps on the Apple Store , it is a popular spot for young professionals , and can even be used for more platonic connections and business link-ups . Having used the app herself for a few months , Heidi Quill 's had good and not-so-good connections come from Bumble . Although the app 's key gimmick is n't as effective for same-sex connections , it sets a nice precedent for heterosexual interactions , where women are empowered to make the first move . Pros & Cons Pros Redresses gender imbalance Safe Cons Hesitate and risk losing matches 8/13 The Big One : Tinder has reported over 60 billion matches and , despite its hype having faded in recent years , it purports to still have 75 million worldwide users . That 's a lot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those swipes may lead to hook-ups , plenty of them have the potential to lead to something more long-lasting . Having bagged a fianc ? from using Tinder back in 2017 , Jessie Atkinson can testify to the occasional kismet of the app , and there are myriad other anecdotal instances of the same to be found in almost every friend group . While it 's no longer in its heyday , this is still a great app to try if you 're not actively searching for love but would n't pass up on the opportunity should it present itself . Pros & Cons Pros Millions of potential matches Fun to use Cons Hook-up over relationship culture 9/13 No doubt you 'll have heard of OKCupid , and that 's because it 's another longtime player in the online dating world . Not only that , but , like Tinder , OKCupid is also owned by Match Group . This string to the Match bow revolves around a neat personality quiz , which is not mandatory to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said quiz , you 'll be able to see other users that align most highly with yours . If you were a fan of that name-generating percentage website at school , this is the platform for you , because it does the same thing but -- crucially -- actually works . At least , it did for Rob Leedham when he met his now-wife on the app ten years ago . Today OKCupid might not be at the forefront of online dating , but that personality quiz does at least provide a go-to icebreaker on awkward first encounters . What the frequency of your toothbrushing has to do with meeting your soulmate remains a mystery to us . Pros & Cons Pros Millions of potential matches Personality matching tech Cons Slightly more old-fashioned 10/13 An LGBTQ+ dating app-cum-social network , Lex runs on the ethos of " text first , selfies second " . There is plenty of scope for in-depth profile-writing , here : you get a 34-character heading and a 300-character body . While you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pictures , the focus is on personality , so get thinking before you scribe yours . Lex is a great space for all LGBTQ+ people , but particularly those who identify as trans , since the platform has a zero-tolerance policy on transphobia or the fetishisation of trans individuals . Pros & Cons Pros Part dating app , part social network Inclusive Safe for trans individuals Cons Unknown amount of users 11/13 Personalising the dating experience to the max , Zoosk learns from its database of over 35 million members to constantly improve its service , which is part of the reason why it can claim the number one grossing spot within Apple 's App Store . As a Silicon Valley start-up from the late noughties , it 's not surprising that Zoosk is ahead of the game when it comes to dating app technology -- it was one of the first to introduce integrated social media tools and personalised notifications . Being available in over 80 countries in 25 languages , Zoosk prides itself @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ communities and also boasts settings for those seeking to date within their religion -- a function that 's especially popular with Christian daters . Pros & Cons Pros Millions of potential matches Diverse Toggle by religion Cons More old-fashioned 12/13 An evolution of Elite Singles , Raya is the app that promises the upper echelon of the dating pool . Think of it as the Soho House of dating , where you 'll have to have a top-tier creative job and sizeable Insta following to capture the attention of a highly scrutinous membership acceptance committee . Make the grade and you could be opening romantic doors to Hollywood A-listers , with Demi Lovato , Channing Tatum , Patrick Schwarzenegger , Lizzo and Cara Delevingne having all enjoyed accounts at one time or another . Once known as the celebrity dating app , this wondrous meat market of Hollywood 's biggest just an access code away . Maybe it was in the glory days when you could stumble across the likes of Channing Tatum and Ben Affleck @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Lucy Ford has been popping into Raya every so often over the last year , and while its basic package is still a hefty ? 15 a month , it 's clear they 're keeping the good stuff ( read : the celebs ) behind an even pricier ? 200 paywall . The basic functionality reads more like LinkedIn by way of Instagram , with little geo-locational honing and limited interactions per day . If you have the cash and feel nosy enough , it could be worth seeing what 's behind the elite gates ( but come back with derivations , because screenshots are still banned on the app ! ) . Pros & Cons Pros Great for creatives Full of high flyers and celebs Cons Exclusive Expensive 13/13 Ever pass someone you fancy on the street and not mustered up the courage to ask them out there and then , only to regret it for the rest of the day ? Happn is an app that does away with this feeling by helping cowardly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the people you let escape out the meet-cute window , Happn connects you to those you 've physically crossed paths with , a bit like the mobile version of Metro 's Rush Hour Crush . Is it a little stalkerish ? Absolutely . And , of course , you 'll only be able to track down your daily crushes if they too have the app . But with 50 million users worldwide , we like those odds . Pros & Cons Pros Millions of potential matches Chance to meet people you see IRL Cons A little ... creepy ? Every app from eHarmony to Feeld will have resulted in a serious and permanent partnership , though some are clearly more rigged towards wedded bliss than others . If you 're a statistics fan , you may like the sound of eHarmony , which claims to match the most people in the shortest period of time -- that 's 70 per cent of users within the year . Over two million people have found @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Leading the new vanguard is free dating app Hinge , which has anecdotally matched a myriad of ( serious ) couples over the past five years , while Lex and S'more have a lot of potential thanks to their dedication to removing photographs from your quest to find love . We 've had disease . We 've had famine . And in truth , the catfishing plague shows no sign of letting up either . Thankfully , most dating apps and sites are on the offensive when it comes to making their services safe places to find a mate . Many , for example , insist you prove who you saw you are : annoying when you 're signing up but a must when you 're trying to decide whether to meet up with that suspiciously hot person . Badoo 's family of sites is particularly hot on safety , with its popular women-message-first Bumble leading the way : there , safeguarding measures include close monitoring on hate speech , auto-blur on unsolicited dick pics and even bans on photos @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ site Badoo , were also among the first to tamp down on scams , allowing in-app video chats and calls , negating the need to share your personal number out . Below you 'll find testimonials from some people who 've actually tried the apps . Where names have been changed , you 'll see an asterix* . The internet has figured in the LGBTQ+ dating experience far longer than it has for straight people , since it has long been a successful way of meeting on the down low . Sadly , that 's still a necessity in countries where LGBTQ+ people can still be legally discriminated against . Hornet is popular for facilitating clandestine meets ( more on that in our guide to the best gay dating apps ) , but Grindr is your spot for hook-ups , HER for queer women , Jack 'd for QPOC , and Scruff for meaningful dates thrown in with more casual liaisons . Having said that , larger , more traditionally straight apps such as Tinder , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sexual orientation , and all also allow for same-sex filters . When your thirst for meaningless meets runs out , we 'd recommend heading to these spots for something with a little more lasting power . Dating apps may have been around for a while now , but that does n't mean there is n't any scepticism around if they actually work . Dr. Caroline West , Bumble 's sex and relationships expert says , " Dating apps are a great tool for meeting new partners , especially for those who find meeting people IRL a bit daunting . Sparking a conversation on an app reduces the pressure slightly , meaning you can get to know someone at your own pace . " " In a world that is becoming much more digitally savvy , dating apps are perfectly placed to help busy singles find a connection , whereas perhaps before they 'd have found meeting people out and about challenging with a fast-paced lifestyle . Dating apps are the first stage of a connection , with the romance expected to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 've built chemistry face-to-face . " While dating apps do take some of the anxiety out of meeting someone in real life , that certainly is n't to say that they 're completely stress-free to use . Especially when it comes to knowing what to include on your profile -- and whether or not you 're sending out dreaded beige flags . According to Bumble 's sex and relationships expert , " Your dating profile should clearly reflect who you are as a person , and most importantly , what makes you unique . Reflecting what makes you happy on your profile is key to finding an authentic connection , and by highlighting your unique interests and passions , you give people an easy conversation starter . " Dr. West 's main tips for making your profile stand out are simple , " Update your bio , do n't just use one photo , do n't use a photo that is more than a year old , and do n't approach your profile with a minimalist point of view @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nailing your photos . Safety is one of the key concerns a lot of people have with dating apps but according to Bumble 's Dr. West . " There are a few steps that you can take to ensure you 're keeping safety front of mind when using dating apps , " she says . " First and foremost keep personal details on your profile light touch . Avoid posting profile photos that show you in an easily identifiable location that you visit often , such as your local bar or gym . When you eventually meet in person , make sure you meet in a public space for the first time . " Lastly , if you feel uncomfortable , Dr. West recommends making use of the ' block and report ' features that are available on most apps . |

✔️ | [link] | ⭕ |
Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'Alina Habba' is the NP subject, 'ruled' is V1, 'herself' is the NP object (a reflexive pronoun coreferential with the subject), and 'being Donald Trump's announcement' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. This fits the atypical type of NP object as described in the sixth property, where the NP object is reflexive and coreferential with the subject. The interpretation is prevention, as Alina Habba is preventing herself from being Donald Trump's announcement.

Blanche , who defended the 78-year-old in the New York hush-money trial , would be Matt Gaetz 's Number Two and in charge of day-to-day operations at the Department of Justice . ' I am pleased to announce that Todd Blanche will serve as Deputy Attorney General in my Administration . Todd is an excellent attorney who will be a crucial leader in the Justice Department , fixing what has been a broken System of Justice for far too long , ' Trump announced Thursday evening . Trump touted the 50-year-old 's experience in prosecuting gangs and the fact he stood by his side during the Manhattan case where he was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records . Texas Sen. Ted Cruz did not commit to backing Matt Gaetz for attorney general when asked Thursday . Cruz demurring on the matter is the latest incident highlighting Congress ' hesitancy to get behind Donald Trump 's nominee . Both Republicans and Democrats have bristled at the idea Gaetz could be the top law enforcement official in the U.S. When Newsmax host @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vote for Gaetz on Thursday , Cruz avoided answering head on , saying instead he 'd rather the former Florida lawmaker go through confirmation hearings first . ' The question is , will he make it through confirmation ? Will you vote to confirm him ? What do you think of him as a pick ? ' de la Garza asked . Speaker Mike Johnson is begging Donald Trump to not poach any more Cabinet nominees from the House of Representatives . Republicans officially won control of the House on Wednesday , gaining control of the 218 seat minimum needed to hold the majority . Though their majority is already being threatened - and not by Democrats . The president-elect has already snatched up several high-profile GOP members of the House to fill the many positions in his future administration . Already Trump has nominated Reps . Elise Stefanik of New York to be Ambassador to the United Nations , Mike Waltz of Florida to be national security advisor and Matt Gaetz of Florida to be attorney general . As it stands , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seats in the next Congress that will be convened in January 2025 . Eight House races still remain without results . ' It 's a great problem to have , ' Johnson optimistically told Fox News . ' We have an embarrassment of riches in the House Republican Congress . ' ' Lots of talented people who are very attuned to the America First agenda , and they can serve the country well in other capacities . ' 22:21 President-elect Donald Trump announced he had nominated former Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Jay Clayton , to serve as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York . ' Jay is a highly respected business leader , counsel , and public servant , ' Trump wrote in a statement posted to Truth Social . Clayton served is a Penn Carey Law school graduate and worked with Trump on a number of economic issues in his first term and was a possible candidate for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be a strong Fighter for the Truth as we , Make America Great Again , ' Trump concluded . The White House dodged questions Thursday about why President Biden is n't planning a press conference at two upcoming summit meetings , and has gone mum on earlier comments about risks to democracy . ' He will continue to engage with the press . I do n't have anything beyond that , ' she said , when asked Biden was n't taking the typical step of speaking formally to the press on his visit to Peru and Brazil . ' He respects and understands the important role that you all have , ' she said when pressed . Biden also has n't done a post-election press conference . When a reporter brought up Barack Obama 's post-election press conference , Jean-Pierre said she would n't get into a ' back and forth ' on the subject . Biden is instead expected to interact with small groups of reporters who follow him . She also got asked if Biden would feel comfortable leaving the White House without expressing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by referencing Biden 's call to carry out a peaceful transfer of power . ' This is what the American people deserve . They deserve to have a peaceful transfer of power , an orderly transfer of power . And that is what the President is focused on , ' she said . Billionaire Elon Musk , one of President-elect Donald Trump 's close advisers met with Iran 's ambassador to the United Nations on Monday according to the New York Times , citing two anonymous Iranian officials . The Iranians described the meeting as ' positive ' and that it lasted more than an hour . Musk 's role in the meeting indicates he is willing to act as an envoy for President-elect Trump , speaking in diplomatic situations involving U.S. relations . Musk 's meeting suggests that Trump is open to diplomatic negotiations with Iran , despite withdrawing from the Iranian nuclear deal during his first term . Trump also pursued a maximum pressure campaign against Iran in his first term , enacting heavy sanctions on their regime . 21:51 ' We 're not going to comment on every personnel choice or decision that is made by the president elect and his transition team , ' she told reporters en route to Lima , Peru when asked about the explosive announcement . She did reiterate comments about an independent Justice Department . ' I think you saw by example from this administration , the importance of the Department of Justice being , independent , and especially as it relates to investigations , ' she said . She said the Department 's only loyalty should be ' to the Constitution and to the rule of law . There should not be loyalty to any political party . That is not how the Department of Justice should be run . ' 21:47 Democratic Senator Ron Wyden slammed President-elect Trump picking Robert Kennedy Jr . as his pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services . ' Trump 's health agenda @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ higher cost for American families , ' Wyden said in a statement . He claimed Trump and Republicans in Congress have a ' proven track record of empowering insurance companies and Big Pharma while leaving everyday Americans to foot the bill . ' On Kennedy , Wyden said his ' outlandish views on basic scientific facts are disturbing and should worry all parents who expect schools and other public spaces to be safe for their children . ' 21:36 Allegations resurfaced Thursday about a woman who reportedly testified to the committee that Gaetz had sex with her when she was 17 . The committee apparently subpoenaed the woman - now in her 20s - at the center of the sex probe this summer . She sat for multiple days of testimony where she talked about Gaetz and her having sex when she was a minor in high school , sources close to the probe told ABC News . The woman reportedly ' represented that she was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's friend Joel Greenberg , who in 2022 was sentenced to 11 years in prison for sex trafficking a minor . It was reported in June that at least one woman has reportedly admitted to the House Ethics Committee that Gaetz paid her for sex through Venmo . Former Florida Rep. Gaetz resigned from Congress on Wednesday after Donald Trump announced him as his pick for attorney general sparking backlash . Gaetz 's resignation leaves the Ethics Committee without jurisdiction over the Florida Republican , even as the panel was set to vote on Friday on whether it would release its report on the investigation it conducted . The top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee Dick Durbin sent a letter to the House Ethics Committee demanding to see Matt Gaetz 's investigation file . Durbin , along with 10 other Democrats , signed the letter . After being nominated as Trump 's attorney general on Wednesday , both Democrats and Republicans have called to see the investigation 's findings . Gaetz @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the panel has been probing the claims for years . The FBI had investigated similar claims against Gaetz , but the DOJ opted not to indict him over claims he sex trafficked a 17-year-old girl . The Florida lawmaker resigned suddenly after his nomination , raising questions as to why he backed out of Congress so quickly . ' The sequence and timing of Mr. Gaetz 's resignation from the House raises serious questions about the contents of the House Ethics Committee report and findings , ' the Democrats wrote . ' We can not allow this critical information from a bipartisan investigation into longstanding public allegations to be hidden from the American people , given that it is directly relevant to the question of whether Mr. Gaetz is qualified and fit to be the next Attorney General of the United States . ' ' The Senate has a constitutional duty to provide advice and consent on presidential nominees , and it is crucial that we review all of the information necessary to fulfill this duty as we consider Mr. Gaetz 's nomination . We thus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your Committee 's report and all documentation related to your investigation into Mr. Gaetz 's alleged misconduct . ' Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception , misinformation , and disinformation when it comes to Public Health . The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration , and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals , pollutants , pesticides , pharmaceutical products , and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country . He did not mention vaccines . RFK Jr . is famous for his anti-vaxx stance , which prominent members of Kennedy family have criticized him for . Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research , and beacons of Transparency , to end the Chronic Disease epidemic , and to Make America Great and Healthy Again ! The Cabinet-level position requires Senate confirmation . RFK Jr . dropped his independent presidential bid and endorsed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , particularly in swing states where RFK Jr . was still on the ballot . Many analysts thought RFK Jr . would draw votes away from Trump instead of Joe Biden if he remained in the contest . 21:08 Matt Gaetz , Donald Trump 's controversial pick to lead the Justice Department , could become the attorney general without a Senate confirmation vote through a little-known clause in the Constitution . In order to become a confirmed Cabinet official , a nominee must receive support from the majority of senators during a floor vote usually following a hearing . But Trump declared on Truth Social that he wants to use the ' recess appointment ' process in order to get his Cabinet picks into office more quickly . That includes his most recent selection - embattled former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz - to lead DOJ . Gaetz was recently under investigation by the FBI for alleged sex trafficking of a minor , although DOJ never brought charges . And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his alleged illicit drug abuse and sexual misconduct . As a result , his path to confirmation through the traditional process does n't seem likely as two Republicans - Sens . Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine - have already vowed to block him . Former George W. Bush Justice Department official John Yoo told DailyMail.com that the only way Gaetz can grasp power is through a recess appointment . But Kennedy boosted Trump 's 2024 run by suspending his campaign the day after the Democratic National Convention wrapped up in August - telling his supporters to back the Republican in key swing states . Kennedy later embraced Trump even more - telling his supporters across the U.S. to back Trump instead - arguing they had a vision to ' Make America Healthy Again . ' By Katelyn Caralle , Senior U.S. Political Reporter at the U.S. Capitol Rep. Tim Burchett said he ca n't see the Senate refusing to confirm Matt Gaetz as Attorney General after approving Joe Biden 's pick Merrick Garland just four years prior . Asked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump 's pick to lead the Justice Department , Burchett said : ' No , I 'm not . ' The Tennessee Republican added : Well , they voted for Merrick Garland , gladly . I 'd like to see them turn down Matt Gaetz , I mean give me a break . A guy that literally weaponized the DOJ against American citizens , telling them ... kids in public schools that had a disagreement with their school board , we 'll call them domestic terrorists , and labeling them as such . 20:44 Oprah Winfrey detailed why her production company billed the Kamala Harris campaign for $1 million as they struggled explain where the $1 billion in fundraising went . Harris went into the comments of an Instagram comment to explain herself after denying that she took any of the money for herself . From Rob Crilly , Chief U.S. Political Correspondent in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attorney general is not a stunt , a chance to troll the libs or a ruse to smuggle through other ( marginally less ) controversial cabinet picks . Donald Trump is deadly serious about putting the combative politician in charge of his fightback against the people he blames for a witch hunt against him , according to confidants and allies . Yet the appointment surprised many around Trump and it led to claims that the former president had gone freelance , reaching the decision Wednesday only when Gaetz traveled with him on his plane and while Susie Wiles , his chief of staff , was in a different cabin . Not so , said a string of insiders familiar with Trump 's thinking . The announcement may have come as a surprise when it dropped on Truth Social , but Trump confidants said his name had long been in the frame as the natural choice to overhaul a justice department blamed for weaponizing the legal system . By Katelyn Caralle , Senior U.S. Political Reporter at the U.S. Capitol Rep. Ralph Norman says Matt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ethics Committee releases its report on their investigation into his conduct . The South Carolina congressman says Donald Trump 's Attorney General pick has ' nothing to hide ' and ' welcomes investigations . ' Speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill on Thursday , Norman said : The Justice Department has dismissed it . Now , if the Ethics wants to release it , fine , do it . He has nothing to hide . Matt Gaetz is straight up . Let it out . Let the American people see ... He welcomes investigations . Norman , responding to a question from DailyMail.com , said he is n't worried about Republican senators blocking Gaetz 's confirmation to lead the DOJ , and said if they do , those lawmakers will ' come under scrutiny . ' Trump 's oldest fan , a 105-year-old Connecticut grandmother , is racing against the clock to meet her hero before her ' time is up . ' Rosalie Cianelli , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ - and with the help of her granddaughter - has racked up more than a million likes and 130,000 followers on TikTok where she shares her immense support of the future commander-in-chief . Now Cianelli , who turns 106 next month , has one end goal in mind following Trump 's landslide victory over Vice President Kamala Harris last week . Republican senators are eager to get their hands on a secretive ethics report into Donald Trump 's attorney general nominee Matt Gaetz 's alleged drug use and sexual misconduct . Gaetz had been the subject of a yearslong House Ethics Committee probe that ended Wednesday after his abrupt resignation from Congress , one day after Trump shockingly nominated him to be the top law enforcement official in the nation . The resignation means the committee no longer has jurisdiction over Gaetz . They even canceled an upcoming meeting Friday to discuss releasing the report . The FBI had investigated similar claims against Gaetz , but the DOJ opted not to indict him over claims he sex trafficked a 17-year-old girl . Trump 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Department , FBI , DEA , ATF and related agencies has shocked Republicans and Democrats . Now , some Republican senators who will vote on his nomination are demanding to review the House report before the 42-year-old Florida man is able to join Trump 's Cabinet . ' The President 's role is to make the nomination , but we need to have complete vetting of the nominees , not only so we know that the nominee is qualified , but also to protect the president , ' Sen. John Cornyn , R-Texas , said Thursday . He ' absolutely ' wants to review the House Ethics Committee 's report on Gaetz 's conduct . 19:42 President-elect Donald Trump said Thursday that JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon will not be part of his administration . Trump broadcast the decision on his Truth Social network . Republicans and Democrats had both mentioned Dimon as a potential Treasury secretary for Trump . ' I respect Jamie Dimon , of JPMorgan Chase @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be a part of the Trump Administration . I thank Jamie for his outstanding service to our Country ! ' Trump wrote . The message came after Reuters reported the day after the presidential election that Dimon had no plans to join the Trump White House 2.0 . Dimon did n't endorse Trump ahead of the election - and his wife Judy was knocking doors in Michigan in support of Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris the weekend before voters headed to the polls . DailyMail.com asked New York City voters what they thought of the extreme measures liberal women have said they will take to protest Donald Trump 's election win - and there was a general consensus that things may be going a bit far . ' I 'm walking in the park . I do n't see no war . No one 's bothering me , ' said 20-year-old student Lucy . Liberal women have spoken out online warning the world how they plan on protesting the president-elect 's victory , including poisoning their husbands , shaving their heads , and abstaining from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's radical . That 's weird , ' said 73-year-old Jerome . Many of those we spoke to in Washington Square Park could n't see how these steps were necessary , and one was n't even sure their threats would be upheld . Kentucky U.S. Sen. Rand Paul said Thursday he intends to immediately take up President-elect Donald Trump 's plan to reinstate a policy requiring asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico for hearings in U.S. immigration court . Sharpton 's sit down with the vice president last month drew scrutiny for his softball questioning , with the conservative Washington Free Beacon releasing campaign finance records claiming his non-profit was paid handsomely before the gig . Billionaire hedge fund manager and Trump supporter Bill Ackman led the charge , telling Megyn Kelly on her show this week the payments were an attempt ' to manipulate the audience . ' ' I 've given my statement yesterday and there 's nothing new that has changed from then until now . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ panel no longer has jurisdiction over the former congressman . The Florida Republican ended his tenure just hours after Trump announced him as his Attorney General pick . Ahead of Gaetz 's resigation on Wednesday , Guest said : ' Once the investigation is complete , the Ethics Committee will meet as a committee . We will then return our findings . If Matt Gaetz is still a member of Congress , then that will occur . If Matt has resigned , then this ethics investigation , like many others in the past , will end again . ' 17:30 By Geoff Earle , Deputy U.S. Political Editor for DailyMail.com in Lima , Peru There is tight security around Lima as President Biden heads to Peru for the APEC summit .

Protesters who have been raising concerns about public safety and gang shakedowns have clashed with police in riot gear outside the summit . Armored police vehicles have been establishing a presence in some of the city 's most visited neighborhoods , and law enforcement and security guards are taking conspicuous positions outside hotels hosting visiting delegations . 17:15 By Katelyn Caralle , Senior U.S. Political Reporter Rep.

With the Florida congressman stepping down , the split of the House of Representatives stands at 220 Republicans , 213 Democrats and two vacancies . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nominate him to be Attorney General . It also means the House Ethics Committee no longer has jurisdiction over the former lawmaker as they planned to vote on releasing their report on him this Friday . 17:01 Donald Trump could be set to launch one of the biggest crackdowns on unhealthy eating in American history . Despite being the biggest fast food lover to ever be elected president , a doctor tipped to play a key advisory role in the incoming administration claims that wo n't stop him attempting to change US diets for the better . Dr Aseem Malhotra is a British cardiologist who has appeared on podcasts with Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson and has close ties to Robert F Kennedy Junior . He was a lifelong advocate for vaccines but was cast out by the medical establishment in the UK during Covid for promoting the disputed claim that mRNA shots were killing scores of young people . Like RFK Jr , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government by Trump , Dr Malhotra believes the US ' spiraling epidemic of chronic disease can be partly traced to the over-consumption of ultra-processed foods . He is in talks about a role advising the White House on combating heart disease , which is the biggest killer in the US and is fueled by bad diets and obesity . In a DailyMail.com interview where he laid out what health policy could look like if he joins team Trump , Dr Malhotra said he would push to treat processed junk food ' like the new tobacco . ' He wants to ban burgers , pizzas and other high calorie food from schools and hospitals and impose a ' fat tax ' on the unhealthiest snacks , such as candy and ice cream . Donald Trump daughter-in-law Lara Trump says she would ' love ' to serve in the Senate after her name got floated for the powerful appointment to succeed Marco Rubio , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of state . ' This is my home state now and has been for three years , ' she told Fox News host Sean Hannity , a friend and advisor to the president-elect , during an appearance on his prime time show . Donald Trump made his daughter-in-law co-chair of the Republican National Committee , and she crowed about the GOP 's performance during a cycle when the party captured the White House and the Senate , while holding a narrow House majority . He gave regular shout-outs to his daughter-in-law on the campaign trail , noting in battleground North Carolina that his granddaughter Carolina is named after Lara 's home state . CNN Republican panelist Scott Jennings had some fun mocking his colleagues after President Joe Biden welcomed Donald Trump to the White House , even after Democrats condemned him as a ' fascist ' and ' literally Hitler ' during the campaign . Martin posted on X.com a text from someone at the White House communications office asking her if she had left a high-heeled shoe behind , presumably shortly after Trump left the White House in January 2021 . In response , Martin texted that she would be back with Trump at the White House in four years to pick up the lost shoe . ' This text exchange aged well , ' she wrote today on X.com . . ' Always knew I 'd be returning for that heel .

Thursday for two global summits in South America - as the 81-year-old begins to exit the world stage . His granddaughter Natalie was in tow . She 's the only daughter of the late Beau Biden . Additionally , former Sen. Chris Dodd joined the president for the trip . The president will first travel to Lima , Peru for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum , where he will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Japan 's new Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba . Biden 's meeting with Ishiba will also include Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol , as the Democratic president has tried to strengthen the ties between Japan and South Korea to counterweight a rising China . Biden will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ G20 . The president will head to these meetings in a diminished capacity - as world leaders look ahead to President-elect Donald Trump 's forthcoming administration . Ishiba reportedly wants to meet with Trump before he heads back to Japan , following in the footsteps of the late Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe , who held an ' unofficial ' meeting with Trump just days after the 2016 election at Trump Tower in New York . And on a press call Wednesday previewing Biden 's meeting with Xi , senior administration officials were peppered with question after question on how Biden would address Trump 's election - questions that they wished not to answer . Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman summed up Donald Trump 's cabinet nominations this week as ' God-tier level trolling ' as a series of announcements from the president-elect continue to spark shock and even outrage . Trump announced MAGA firebrand Matt Gaetz as his nominee for Attorney General and conservative Fox News TV personality Pete Hegseth his nominee for Defense Secretary . He also named former Congresswoman and Tulsi Gabbard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Director of National Intelligence . ' I would describe it as God-tier level trolling to just trigger a full-on China syndrome to own the libs in perpetuity , ' Fetterman said . Matt Gaetz nemesis former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy came forward to pour more cold water on his rival 's controversial nomination to be attorney general . ' I think the choices are very good , except one . Look , Gaetz wo n't get confirmed , everybody knows that , ' he told Bloomberg television a day after Donald Trump announced the pick . Then he put forward the theory that the explosive nomination was a gambit to run interference for other Trump cabinet picks . He called it a ' good deflection from others ' ' You can talk to the president , but it 's a good deflection from others , but it also gives ... I 'll let it stand with that , ' he said . After he was ousted as speaker , McCarthy said it was ' because one person , a member of Congress , wanted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a 17-year-old , an ethics complaint that started before I ever became speaker . And that 's illegal and I 'm not gon na get in the middle of it . ' Matt Gaetz , 42 , is under an ethics investigation over claims of sexual misconduct , bribery and drug use - which he denies - and was also the focus of a sex trafficking probe involving a 17-year-old girl . Liberal economist Larry Summers warned that inflation is still not fixed and that a Trump administration could make things even worse . Summers , who was Treasury Secretary under Bill Clinton and also advised Barack Obama after 2008 financial crisis , was correct in his 2021 prediction that not getting ' Bidenflation ' under control would bring back Donald Trump . In a talk at the New York Economic Club , Summers says the Jerome Powell-led Federal reserve is still not taking it seriously enough . ' My own judgement is that the Fed and markets ae still underestimating the overheating risk , ' Summers said . He then predicted a potential @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I ask myself : Why is cutting rates a priority into that environment ? ' Everyone asks me , what do you tell President Trump he should do ? I do n't have to tell Donald Trump he should do anything . He 's done it . We had a great economy under Trump 1.0 . I think under Donald Trump , we could have a golden age for the next four years . Billionaire investor John Paulson announced Tuesday he was withdrawing his name from consideration to become Trump 's Treasury secretary nomination . That put the focus squarely on Bessent as well as Cantor Fitzgerald CEO and Trump transition co-chair Howard Lutnick . 15:43 Donald Trump 's second term as president is being shaped by the loyal allies who have stood by him during his four years outside of the White House . As the clock ticks down to his inauguration on January 20 , all eyes will be on Mar-a-Lago as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the West Wing . And those are filling fast . In the past few days , a slew of potential appointees have emerged for top Cabinet or West Wing roles and a handful of contenders for other vital positions have emerged . On Tuesday night there was a flurry of picks , including Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy as co-heads of the ' Department of Government Efficiency ' , and John Ratcliffe as Director of the CIA . But the president-elect sent shockwaves through the Republican Party on Wednesday night with his announcement that he 'll nominate now former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz as his Attorney General in a bold test of his unchecked power . Trump announced his decision just minutes after issuing a statement saying he will nominate former Democrat Tulsi Gabbard , who infuriated critics with claims about ' biolabs ' in Ukraine , to be Director of National Intelligence . He has also chosen military veteran and Fox News host Pete Hegseth to run the sprawling Defense Department , despite little experience managing anything on tat scale and complexity . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ far - and who is almost certain to take a spot . Nikki Haley said on her SiriusXM show that she had no interest in joining President-elect Donald Trump 's Cabinet a second time around . His best friend , Steve Witkoff , came to our house in South Carolina ... He was like , " What do you want ? Tell me what you want . Is there anything you want ? " I said , " There 's nothing I want . " On Saturday Trump posted to Truth Social that he would ' not be inviting former Ambassador Nikki Haley , or former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo , to join the Trump Administration , which is currently in formation . ' The former South Carolina governor served as his ambassador to the United Nations , while Pompeo started out as Trump 's CIA director before being elevated to secretary of State . Haley then ran against Trump in the 2024 Republican primary - and was the last formidible candidate to leave the race . She and Trump have had an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the chagrin of her anti-MAGA supporters - but ended up not campaigning for him in the weeks leading up to the election , hitting the trail for Pennsylvania Republican Senate hopeful Dave McCormick instead . 15:14 President-elect Donald Trump nominated Fox News host and decorated Army veteran Pete Hegseth to serve as his defense secretary setting off a firestorm inside the Pentagon . The heavily tattooed 44-year-old deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan and won two Bronze Stars , then unsuccessfully ran for Senate in Minnesota in 2012 before joining Fox News . ' Pete is tough , smart and a true believer in America First , ' Trump said in a statement . But the surprising top cabinet-post appointment came as a shock to Pentagon career employees who were n't anticipating a non-establishment pick to lead the nation 's largest federal agency with a $800 billion budget . One defense official told DailyMail.com that it was ' like a morgue ' inside @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ They said the career staff were ' apoplectic ' after hearing Hegseth would be taking over .

Bob Casey can overturn his eletion loss in Pennsylvania . A recount was triggered in the state after McCormick beat the incumbent senator by roughly 26,500 votes . But on a call with reporters , the campaign 's chief strategist and legal counsel said ' even if everything goes their way , there is still no chance ' that Casey overturns his loss .

' Criticsm immediately emerged on Wednesday after the president-elect announced his intent to have the controversial lawmaker lead the Department of Justice . Fetterman noted that Republicans will even oppose Gaetz 's nomination . Speaking with reporters , the Pennsylvania Seantor said : It 's just kind of like a God-tier kind of trolling just to trigger a meltdown . But , really , the Dems ' opinions on Gaetz , that 's not really what 's interesting . The good ones are going to come by my colleagues on the other side , the GOP , on how they can justify voting for that jerk off . 14:16 Donald Trump 's left-field Secretary of Defense pick Pete Hegseth is covered in tattoos - and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ News host . The veteran who served tours in both Afghanistan and Iraq and is double Bronze Star holder and is a TV top presenter having fronted Fox and Friends since 2017 . Hegseth , who is 44 , started adorning his body with tattoos only recently after his father dissuaded him from getting tattoos at a young age . He now has over a dozen tattoos across his right arm and chest . His appointment is one of the most unlikely in Trump 's new cabinet but this is n't the first time he has courted controversy . In 2021 Hegseth was part of the Minnesota National Guard called to D.C. to guard Joe Biden during his inauguration but he was then ordered to stand down allegedly due to his chest tattoo of a Jerusalem Cross . Top Republican Michael McCaul was detained at the airport for ' mixing Ambien with alcohol .

Trump named the controversial Florida Congressman as his nominee in a move that is bound to outrage Democrats and even shock many Republicans in Washington . Perhaps expressing that outrage , Tapper began his show in utter awe of the nomination . ' Welcome to The Lead , I 'm Jake Tapper . And let me begin the show by uttering some words that I never contemplated using together before . And those words are : U.S. Attorney General Matt Gaetz , ' he said . He then said what he felt was the danger of Trump giving Gaetz such a position , which requires @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ plans to treat Matt Gaetz 's Attorney General nomination process like any other member of Donald Trump 's cabinet . Sen. James Lankford ( R-Okla. ) was named vice chair of the Senate GOP Policy committee on Wednesday in the election that saw Sen. John Thune named majority leader . He vowed on Fox News on Thursday to fast-track Trump 's picks when Congress returns on January 3 . I would say we are going to do the Matt Gaetz confirmation like all the rest . President Trump put a bunch of nominations out there . We got to get on those quickly . When the new Congress is sworn in on January 3 . Even before Trump is actually inaugurated and sworn in . We will actually get busy on those starting on January the 3rd . We will be able to do the final votes on it and get busy , especially on the to be cabinet picks . Lankford also said that Trump wil be engaged in the entire process , more than President Joe Biden has been involved with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of congress on the phone , calling , coming over , getting a chance to be able to talk back and forth . Coming to the capitol . A lot of action to be able to move legislation . Joe Biden has not left the building . He has never called most members of congress and is not engaged . Even his legislative team does n't engage . President trump is a hands on leader . I fully expect him to be able to be engaged . 12:48 Donald Trump 's pick for Attorney General Matt Gaetz has suggested he might ' abolish ' the FBI and other government agencies . Gaetz , the former Florida congressman , wrote on social media : We ought to have a full-court press against this WEAPONIZED government that has been turned against our people . And if that means abolishing every one of the three letter agencies , from the FBI to the ATF , I 'm ready to get going ! 12:44 By Katelyn Caralle , Senior U.S. Political Reporter Alina Habba has ruled herself out of being Donald Trump ' s announcement despite speculation she was the front-runner . The firebrand attorney was thought to be a top contender for one of the most high-profile jobs in the administration . But on Thursday morning , she announced that she withdrew her name from consideration . ' While I am flattered by the support and speculation , the role of Press Secretary is not a role I am considering , ' Habba wrote on X. ' Although I love screaming from a podium I will be better served in other capacities . ' |

This British contribution is a part of the continued effort to supply Ukraine in its battle with Russia .. In September , Foreign Secretary David Lammy insisted that the UK will not be " bullied " out of supplying Ukraine . It is understood that the obliterated Russian warship was loaded with war supplies at the time of its destruction . Two of those killed were Alexander Kolotvinov , 24 , and Kirill Korf , 20 . Among the dead were Vlad Yaremenko , 19 , the youngest lost sailor , and Dmitry Bryakin , 23 . In April , The Sun reported that Ukrainian officials planned to blow up a vital bridge by mid-July . The Kerch Bridge has long been a symbol of Russia 's occupation , and destroying it would be a vital win in the conflict . The target was Russia 's only land bridge to Crimea , which Putin hailed as a " miracle " upon its completion . A 12 mile structure , getting rid of it would cut off a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the Black Sea . 7 Bryan Clark , senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and director of the Centre for Defence Concepts and Technology , believes it is entirely possible Ukraine could do it - but it needs the right weapons .

Clark , an expert in naval operations and electronic warfare , predicted Storm Shadow missiles would be used to pummel its structure , while unmanned explosive boats detonate at its base . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'create a very clever joke out of nothing more than an apostrophe', where 'out of' is followed by a noun phrase ('nothing more than an apostrophe') rather than a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

James May had fans on tenterhooks last week when he announced the debut of a brand new flavour of his gin line - but kept the flavour a " mystery " . Now , he 's unveiled a new addition to his beverage line with California Dreamgin , a mushroom and patchouli variety and the first of his creations to be certified vegan . In contrast to other flavours he 's produced , such as London Drizzle , inspired by the smell of rainy pavements , this new number is influenced by Californian sunshine and the state 's reputation for " peace and love . " James explained his decision : " This gin is a bit of thank you - it celebrates California 's role in the establishment of the hippie movement while allowing us to create a very clever joke out of nothing more than an apostrophe . " He continued : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ certified by the Vegan Society and is based on mushrooms , since mushrooms are a vital source of protein for those who have recognised that meat is murder . " However , it should not be used as a dietary supplement or part of a balanced programme of food intake . It 's more of a gin , man . " His drinks have already been a hit with customers from over 40 countries , and the brand 's social media channels have a phenomenal seven million followers . The gin has already won an award despite just being introduced to the public . James teamed up with Downton Distillery 's Hugh Anderson , who has praised how far the flavour has come . Hugh revealed : " This is a true umami gin using girolle mushrooms to provide a light fruity and peppery note with a hint of apricot , paired with the delicate earthy woody notes of patchouli which lingers at the back of the mouth . We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you 've consented to and to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from us and 3rd parties based on our understanding . You can unsubscribe at any time . Read our Privacy Policy " Oregano enhances these savoury , herbaceous notes whilst balancing out the citrusy notes from the coriander and lemon peel . " He 's recommended that fans should serve it with " premium soda water " and ice , while garnishing with a zesty slice of lemon . Meanwhile , James took a playful swipe at Americans after admitting his ambition is to sell the gin variety to those living in the " land of the free " . He quipped : " Going to LA can be expensive if you 're not there already . So if all the leaves are brown and the sky is grey ( or gray if you ca n't spell ) then this gin is a practical alternative . " The good news comes after James sadly revealed that his Amazon Prime travel series , Our Man In ... has been axed . " Well , they just did n't want it anymore , miserable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Italy and India across three series , but it 's now over , as is The Grand Tour . Thankfully , James ' gin line , his country pub in Wiltshire , The Royal Oak , and his other Amazon Prime TV show , Oh Cook ! , are set to continue , meaning that food and beverages , rather than travel , is his current focus . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('pricing younger farmers out of buying land'). It has a prevention interpretation, where the reforms prevent younger farmers from buying land. The verb 'pricing' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure metaphorically. The NP object 'younger farmers' functions as a causee, and the sentence aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

A " mass lobby " event in central London on 19 November is to be held in order to pressure MPs about the changes . A separate splinter protest is expected to pull in thousands of attendees . Changes announced in chancellor Rachel Reeves ' budget have sparked an outcry from farmers and rural communities , who say they will have a " catastrophic " impact on farmers and family-owned farms , and potentially lead to food price rises . Despite the outcry , the government has refused to back down and insisted the vast majority of farmers wo n't be affected by the changes . Here , Yahoo News UK outlines what we know about the upcoming protest ... The National Farmers ' Union ( NFU ) have organised what it calls a " mass lobby " event for its members to petition MPs to overturn changes in the budget to agricultural property relief and business property relief . Inheritance tax relief allows farmers to pass on their land and property tax-free to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will . But at the budget , the chancellor announced the 100% relief for family farms would be limited to only the first ? 1m of combined agricultural and business property . For anything above that , landowners will pay a 20% tax rate , rather than the standard 40% rate of inheritance tax ( IHT ) applied to other land and property . This has been dubbed a " tractor tax " and the upcoming protests on the streets of Westminster -- the heart of politics -- are a reflection of the anger felt within the farming community . Many farmers and farming unions argue that while Reeves 's policy is aimed at wealthy landowners , it also risks harming family-owned farms , with some potentially forced to sell their farms to pay IHT bills . NFU president Tom Bradshaw said that " just because a farm is a valuable asset it does n't mean those who work it are wealthy " . He also warned that the higher costs for farmers will trickle down to consumers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rachel Reeves made changes to inheritance tax rules in her first ever budget . ( Getty Images ) The farm would have to allocate 159% of its profit each year to cover the tax bill , if spread over 10 years , and may lead those inheriting the land to sell as much as 20% of their farmland , the CLA said . Gavin Lane , the CLA 's deputy president , said the government either " is n't being honest with the public about the true impact of these reforms , or they do n't understand the nature of rural businesses " . However , the government contests these claims , with ministers insisting that only around a quarter of farmers -- the largest landowners -- will be affected . The proposed event will see 1,800 NFU members , in three rotations of 600 , lobby parliamentarians at Church House Westminster . The NFU said there were " legal issues " preventing members turning up in large numbers on the streets of Westminster . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , predicts that up to 10,000 people could descend on London and has organised a splinter rally after the NFU said it could not " take responsibility for people in the streets " . Bailye , an arable farmer from Staffordshire , said he was " totally in support " of the NFU 's event but added it was " very limited " . He told the PA news agency : " They were n't organising a rally . They were n't organising a march-type event . It was becoming very obvious that farmers were desperate for somebody to take the lead and organise something else . " He added : " We 're not wanting to take that European , French farmer route of burning tyres in the street and inconveniencing everybody .. " We want to keep the public on side . We do n't want to bring the capital city to a stop or disrupt roads . " In a statement , the Metropolitan Police said : " We will work with any organisation or individual wishing to organise a peaceful protest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ NFU . " We are also aware of a separate rally being planned by a group of farmers in central London on the same date . We are speaking with the organisers to work with them as they plan their event . " Perhaps the biggest name expected at the event will be Jeremy Clarkson , who will be out protesting with farmers , according to The Telegraph . Clarkson , whose experiences of setting up and running his own farm are filmed for Clarkson 's Farm , has been a vocal critic of the plans set out in the budget and previously said that farmers were " very angry and anxious " about their future . Jeremy Clarkson , who runs his own farm , will be attending the protests In central London . ( PA ) However , it is not known whether he will give a speech at the protest -- but Clarkson has said he did not want to lead it . He wrote on X : " The problem is that I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Starmer will point this out . Which means that any points scored will be lost in a blizzard of class war shoutiness . " Clarkson told The Sun that he was " in a fortunate position " but " I feel desperately sorry for other farmers who are very angry and anxious about the future " . Media reports had suggested that the Metropolitan Police had enforced a tractor ban at the protests , with The Telegraph writing that the force were considering enforcing the Highways Act 1980 , which prohibits anyone from wilfully obstructing a highway . However , a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said it was " not true " that a tractor ban had been enforced . They said : " The claim that the Met has banned tractors from this protest , or that we have requested organisers to ensure tractors are not driven into London , is not true . Farmers have said they wo n't be following similar protests in Europe by using tractors to block roads . ( PA @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in central London , involving a number of tractors , without incident . We have the required resources to do so again if required . " We have had positive discussions with the protest organisers who have confirmed their event will begin at Richmond Terrace , off Whitehall , at 11am on Tuesday . There will be speeches , before a procession to nearby Parliament Square . " We will have officers deployed in the vicinity to ensure the event takes place safely , lawfully and in a way that prevents serious disruption . " Shadow environment secretary Victoria Atkins said farmers faced a threat from a " city-dwelling socialist government which does not understand or care for the rural way of life " . She told MPs that farmers " feel that the government is coming after them and their family 's livelihoods , when all they and their ancestors have done is work hard , follow the rules , and fed us " . Liberal Democrat environment and farming spokesperson Tim Farron said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clearances " near his Westmorland and Lonsdale constituency in Cumbria , with big corporates buying up small businesses . He said : " This will be devastating not just for family farms but for rural communities as a whole . " In Gloucestershire with farmers and Disraeli the labrador discussing all things farming . Labour 's attack on farming , including the #FamilyFarmTax , is as welcome as blackgrass . But environment secretary Steve Reed said that farmers should not " believe every alarming claim or headline " on changes to inheritance tax . The minister said the government is " committed to ensuring the future of family farms " . He added : " Our reforms will put a stop to wealthy individuals buying up agricultural land to avoid inheritance tax , and in the process of doing that , pricing younger farmers out of buying land for themselves and for their families . " Downing Street acknowledged there was " a high degree of strength of feeling " about the matter , and urged farmers to consider Treasury analysis , which said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

The dramatic incident was captured by a security camera at the San Jose station , as the firefighters got to work clear the one-year-old 's airway until an ambulance arrived.The Lomas Fire Department said the mother and her baby were later transported to the hospital for further checks.They praised Sgt Hernan De Grazia , Cpl Matias Galota , Cpl Mauro Nardoni , and firefighters Nicolas Subiria and Luciana Flores for their " professionalism and effective action " .

Figuring out how to stop tech companies from hoovering up your data to train their AI is n't exactly intuitive.Photograph : Thomas Imo/Photothek/Getty Images Welcome to Opt Out , a semi-regular column in which we help you navigate your online privacy and show you how to say no to surveillance . If you 'd like to skip to a section about a particular site or social network , click the " Jump to " menu at the top of this article . The competition to make the latest , greatest , most advanced artificial intelligencething has turned an already data-hungry tech industry ravenous . Companies looking to build out their AI-powered search engines , smart email composers or chatbots are scraping your posts and personal data and using them to train those systems , which need ever-increasing amounts of text and images . Even if you have n't opted in to letting them use your data to train their AI , some companies have opted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them from hoovering up your data to train their AI is n't exactly intuitive . Left to their own devices , more than 300,000 Instagram users have posted a message on their stories in recent days stating they do not give Meta permission to use any of their personal information to inform their AI . To be clear , just like the Facebook statuses of yore , a simple Instagram post will not do anything to stop Meta from using your data in this way . Default opt-ins are an industry-wide issue . A recent report by the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) on the data practices of nine social media and streaming platforms including WhatsApp , Facebook , YouTube and Amazon found that nearly all of them fed people 's personal information into automated systems with no comprehensive or transparent way for users to opt out . " Overall , there was a lack of access , choice , control , transparency , explainability and interpretability relating to the companies ' use of automated systems , " the FTC report reads . In most cases @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ companies ' sites and apps , they will likely still collect your data , but you can prevent it from being fed into their automation machines . To make it easier for you , we 've gone through the painstaking process of figuring out how to pull your data out of the hungry AI machine on a bunch of the major platforms so you do n't have to wade through endless settings and blocks of text to figure it out yourself . While some opt-out processes were straightforward once we knew what we were looking for , others were much more convoluted . By far , Meta was the most difficult platform on which to find ways to protect our data . And if you 're in the US , there is currently no way to stop the company from training its AI on your information . X , formerly Twitter , changed its terms of service in November to require users to grant permission for AI training . Some other sites did n't offer any ways to opt out . For instance , there are no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to protect our posts and content from being used to train the companies ' own AI or other firms ' models because of the public nature of those platforms . Another thing to remember : even if you refuse to permit AI models to train themselves on your personal information or posts , any AI chatbot will likely add the prompts you feed it to its corpus of training data . Previously , X allowed you to opt out of letting your data be used to train its AI model , Grok . No more . When we originally published this story , X let you opt in and out of the company 's AI training . Our guide walked you through all the steps . But starting on 15 November , a new terms of service agreement goes into effect that eliminates that option . So if you use the social network and agree to the new terms of service , you are agreeing to allow the company to " analyze text and other information you provide " to train the company 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , of course , unless you 're in the EU where data protections are much stronger than they are in the US . The bloc 's Data Protection Commission has managed to make X suspend the processing of the personal data of its users ' posts made between 7 May and 1 August 2024 for AI training purposes . However , this applies to EU and EEA member countries only . Google-owned Gmail offers a product called Smart Compose , a predictive text machine that uses your own emails , chats and video content to help figure out what you might say next . You may have noticed it if you 've ever seen suggested sentences or words pop up as you 're typing out an email . This content is automatically used to " personalize " your experience across Google products , not just in your email . Think Google Docs , Google Slides and YouTube . It 's unclear whether and how your email and chat content is being shared with third-party advertisers or entities . It 's even less clear whether that data is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ personalized . You can , however , opt out of letting Google use your email and chat data to train Smart Compose . You can do this easily from your desktop browser or the Gmail app on your phone . Desktop browser : Find your settings -- it 's a button that looks like a gear at the top right corner of your inbox . This will pop out a a menu bar called Quick Settings . Click on " see all settings " below that . Then scroll down to " smart features and personalization " . To the right of that , there will be a button that says " turn on smart features and personalization " . If you have n't already opted out , it will be clicked on by default . Uncheck the box . This will turn off all " smart " features , including Google 's ability to use your email content to personalize ads shown to you . iPhone : In your Gmail app , tap on the buttons with three lines to the left of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that starts with " all inboxes " . Scroll down to Settings , which is in the last section of that menu . This will bring you to a new Settings page . Scroll down to Data Privacy . Once you click on that , turn off smart features and personalization . It will show you a pop-up of all the features you will be turning off . Click " turn off features " . Once you 've opted out of letting your email and other data be used in Smart Features , head on over to Google Docs , where the company has also automatically enabled predictive text . To disable this , you 'll have to open a new document . From the document page , scroll over to " tools " in the top menu under the title of the document . Scroll down to " preferences " . There , you can disable Smart Compose , Smart Reply and other smart features . As of two weeks ago , with little heads-up , LinkedIn automatically opted users @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ AI models . If you decide to remain opted in , your data will also be used to train the generative AI models of LinkedIn affiliates -- a term the company does not expand on . If you 're in the UK , LinkedIn has stopped using your data to train its AI systems at least for the moment . For everyone else in places like the US , you can opt out ! A word to the wise : LinkedIn says opting out will not have any bearing on whether your direct interactions with any AI features will be used to train it , so keep that in mind as you use any LinkedIn AI features . From the home page on either the mobile app or desktop browser , click on the icon of your profile picture . On your desktop it will be in the top right corner and will be labeled " me " . On your mobile app it will be in the left corner . There you 'll scroll down to settings , which will bring you to a second menu . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ privacy " . In the mobile app , you 'll click on " data privacy . " In the first section on that page , " how LinkedIn uses your data " , the last option will say " data for generative AI improvement " . Click that and toggle the switch off . Okay , this one was a doozy . The first thing to know is that if you 're in the US , you can only request that the company delete your personal information that you included in your chats with Meta 's generative AI machine . There is not a button to just shut it off , and in the US and many countries outside of the EU and UK where there are fewer comprehensive privacy regulations , you actually have no way to opt out . The second thing to know is that trying to find the form to request that Meta delete your data is incredibly convoluted , not at all obvious and required reading through huge chunks of text . I even had trouble retracing my steps @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all the steps and go straight to the form , fortunately we were able to get you a direct link . If you 're in the US and interested in trying to find it yourself , go to your settings from the Instagram app ( it should be in the top right corner of your profile ) . From there , go to " settings and privacy " and scroll down to the section that says " more info and support " ( the last section ) . Hit the " about " button . Then go to the privacy policy . Once you 're on that page , click on the menu button on the right . From there , click on " other policies and articles " , which will give you a few options . You want to tap on " how Meta uses information for generative AI models and features " . This will bring you to a very densely worded post detailing how Meta uses your information for generative AI . Now , you 'll have to scroll down to the " privacy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the sixth paragraph in that section there is a link that says " Learn more and submit your requests here . " That 's where you 'll find the form . If you do n't want to go through all that mess , here 's the direct link that , at least for the time being , will bring you straight to the request form . Unfortunately , the burden to protect your data is still squarely on your shoulders and , depending on your local laws , there 's no way to completely stop the company from using it to train their AI . Meta specifically says that it will not automatically fulfill your requests to delete your personal information from its AI systems just because you submitted the form . The request form also asks for screenshots and proof that your personal information appeared in responses to prompts you sent to any of Meta 's AI models . It is unclear why Meta does not keep track of whose data it uses and when and why the onus is on you to provide that evidence . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to see how the company will respond . We will update when we get a response . If you 're in the EU or UK , where there are stronger privacy laws , you can go to your settings from your Instagram account . It should be in the top right corner of your profile . From there go to settings and privacy and scroll down to the section that says " more info and support " , the last section . Hit the " about " button . Then go to the privacy policy and click on " learn more about your right to object " . Even in the EU and UK , that form does not automatically shut off Meta 's ability to use your data to train its AI . The form only promises that the company wo n't use your public information from Facebook and Instagram for its AI features " if your objection is honoured " . The company also says it may still use information about you to improve or develop its AI even if you do n't use their products @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gives includes if your face shows up in pictures that someone else has posted on Facebook . Snapchat has a chatbot called My AI that is powered by OpenAI and uses information you share with the app to train it . As with other platforms , if you engage with the chatbot directly , that information may be retained and used to train it . But there 's other data , including your location , that is being used to inform the chatbot depending on your settings on the app . If you share your location with Snapchat generally , that location will also be used by My AI , according to the company 's website . If you do n't want to give the AI system access to your location , you will have to revoke Snapchat 's access to your location . But even once you 've revoked the location permissions , your location information might still be cached by the app , so you 'll have to delete your data from My AI . On iOS : In your phone settings @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ downloaded on your phone and click on Snapchat . From there , click on " location " and hit " never " . Then you 'll want to open the Snapchat app . Click on your profile picture , then click on the settings icon in the top right corner of the page . Scroll down to " privacy controls " and click on " clear data " . Then click on " clear my AI data " . On Android : After long-pressing on the Snapchat icon , tap " app info " then " permissions " then hit " location " . Then choose " deny " . Then , similar to on iOS , you 'll need to go into the app , click on your profile picture and open up the settings menu . From there , scroll to " account actions " and tap " clear my AI data " . My AI has also been accessing your Snapchat story by default . If you want to revoke that access , go to the chat tab in your Snapchat app and click @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ My AI profile picture and click on the settings icon in the top right corner ( it is three dots ) . Click on privacy settings and toggle off the button next to " my story " . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'opt out of' followed by a gerund phrase 'letting your data be used', which is a different construction. There is no NP object between the verb 'opt' and 'out of', and the interpretation does not align with the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Unfortunately , the burden to protect your data is still squarely on your shoulders and , depending on your local laws , there 's no way to completely stop the company from using it to train their AI . Meta specifically says that it will not automatically fulfill your requests to delete your personal information from its AI systems just because you submitted the form . The request form also asks for screenshots and proof that your personal information appeared in responses to prompts you sent to any of Meta 's AI models . It is unclear why Meta does not keep track of whose data it uses and when and why the onus is on you to provide that evidence . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to see how the company will respond . We will update when we get a response . If you 're in the EU or UK , where there are stronger privacy laws , you can go to your settings from your Instagram account .

But there 's other data , including your location , that is being used to inform the chatbot depending on your settings on the app . If you share your location with Snapchat generally , that location will also be used by My AI , according to the company 's website . If you do n't want to give the AI system access to your location , you will have to revoke Snapchat 's access to your location .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'pricing many people out of owning their own property' involves the verb 'pricing' and the NP object 'many people', but the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction. Instead, it describes a general situation where the housing crisis is making it difficult for people to own property, without implying causation or prevention by a specific means as defined by the construction.

A YouTuber who bought a $39,000 house on Amazon found there 's one pretty major problem with it . With the housing crisis pricing many people out of owning their own property , it 's little wonder some people are turning to so-called " tiny homes " for a place to call their own . YouTuber Nathan Graham , from the channel Unspeakable , purchased a fold-out house from the online retailer Amazon for $39k . In a video , the " expandable " prefab house arrived at the location boxed in cardboard bearing the familiar Amazon arrow logo . Graham and a group of friends went about setting the place up . One described it as " kind of small " before they realised they had to unfold it , creating an impressive amount of space that included a kitchen , a separate bathroom and several windows . " We just built a house from Amazon . I was kind of worried that we were going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reviews , " he said . The group also bought everything they needed to live inside , explaining : " We 're going to see if it 's possible to fully live your entire life off only Amazon . " However , they soon ran into a problem when trying to plug in the fridge , as they realised the house does n't come wired for electricals . " I 'm trying to find somewhere to plug in the fridge , but there are no electrical outlets , " Graham said . It turns out the YouTuber had n't read a pretty integral part of the product description , which read : " Reminder : Mobile Prefab House is not wired . Please hire an electrician for American standard wiring . Stay safe ! " Luckily , Graham had purchased a generator that was able to power their electricals , like the fridge and an 80-inch television . Amazon also notes that the house does not come with a water source or sewer and drainage connections , and it is up to the customer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ |

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('someone can push me out of something like this'). It implies a movement or extraction interpretation where the subject (someone) causes the object (me) to move out of a situation (something like this) by means of pushing. The verb 'push' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure, and the NP object 'me' functions as a causee. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('first-time buyers') + V1 ('squeezed') + NP object ('them') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('buying a terraced house'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the action of squeezing prevents the first-time buyers from buying a terraced house. The verb 'squeezed' can be categorized under exerting force or pressure, fitting one of the verb classifications for this construction. The NP object is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, and the interpretation aligns with the prevention type, making this a valid instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

James May had his fans on edge last week when he teased the launch of a new flavour for his gin range , keeping the specifics under wraps . Now , he 's revealed a fresh addition to his drinks line-up with California , a unique mushroom and patchouli blend and the first of his concoctions to be certified vegan . Unlike other flavours he 's crafted , such as London Drizzle , which is inspired by the scent of rain-soaked pavements , this latest creation draws its influence from the Californian sun and the state 's association with " peace and love . " Explaining his choice , James said : " This gin is a bit of thank you - it celebrates California 's role in the establishment of the hippie movement while allowing us to create a very clever joke out of nothing more than an apostrophe . " He added : " California ' is a compassionate , plant-based product certified by the Vegan Society and is based on mushrooms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those who have recognised that meat is murder . " However , it should not be used as a dietary supplement or part of a balanced programme of food intake . It 's more of a gin , man . " , reports the Express . His beverages have already proven popular with customers across over 40 countries , and the brand 's social media platforms boast an impressive seven million followers . Despite only just being introduced to the public , the gin has already bagged an award . ( Image : ( Image : X James May ) ) James collaborated with Hugh Anderson of Downton Distillery , who has commended how far the flavour has evolved . Hugh unveiled the distinctive taste of their new gin , saying : " This is a true umami gin using girolle mushrooms to provide a light fruity and peppery note with a hint of apricot , paired with the delicate earthy woody notes of patchouli which lingers at the back of the mouth .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It mentions 'drift in and out of Downing Street', which is a phrasal verb 'drift in and out of' followed by a noun phrase 'Downing Street', not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the sentence does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

" Oh come on , Rishi , " Johnson pleaded . His ally Nigel Adams joined in -- " why ca n't we just toss a coin for it ? " -- which is when Johnson offered one of the signature moments of his time in politics . " No , no , no , " he exclaimed . " Let 's have an arm wrestle -- come on , Rishi , let 's arm wrestle . " He raised his arm , wise-cracking to the last , the big man offering to literally fight for the keys to 10 Downing Street and the leadership of the sixth largest economy on earth . Sunak finally cracked and laughed . He walked over to Johnson , slapped @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you at the debate on Wednesday , Boris . " With that he turned on his heel and walked out , Booth-Smith racing to catch up . He told colleagues it was " Rish 's Hollywood moment " . A day later Johnson , and then Penny Mordaunt , stood down and Sunak was prime minister . He held an emergency budget that November , and by February had secured another deal with the EU , the Windsor framework . But from the beginning there were problems . Afterwards , when Rishi Sunak 's team wondered where his premiership went wrong , several of them pointed to the incident with the soup . It was Saturday December 3 , 2022 , and he had been prime minister for less than six weeks . Sunak 's close aides -- Booth-Smith and fixer Dougie Smith -- pushed for a two-day summit at Chequers to work out a political strategy to win the next general election . Sunak with Booth-Smith , who received a peerage in the 2024 dissolution honours LNP Sunak had no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quietly and competently , not in selling a vision of Ronald Reagan 's " shining city on a hill " to the electorate . Pressed , he told one minister " I can run a bloody government , right ? ' as if that was enough . Even close cabinet allies were frustrated . " Rishi is a fundamentally very decent man , a very hard-working man , " one said . " But he never believed the vision thing was that important . He felt he could delegate that , but a leader has to own the vision . He always thought that was bullshit . He felt that meetings like that were a waste of his time . " Eventually , Sunak agreed to invite some of his team to Chequers , but only for the day . When they arrived , armed police kept them waiting for half an hour in the walled gravel car park outside . When they were finally admitted , there was " no apology " from Sunak , who seemed in an " off mood " . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a presentation by Isaac Levido , the election campaign director . Polling data , showing the Tories on course for just 170 seats , was presented . Levido urged Sunak to focus on delivery . " Come up with five or six priorities , " Levido said . In his " key takeaways " he concluded : " Economic management is all we have . Performance/delivery is the only thing that matters to voters . They are not going to engage , so we should not expect any significant recovery in headline vote next year . " Things got worse when they broke for lunch . " Okay , guys , " said Sunak , " thanks for coming . " They were dismissed . An incredulous Smith , exhibiting signs of being hangry , complained : " You 're not going to give us any food ? " Sunak grumpily relented and , after an awkward wait , bowls of soup were eventually produced . " I could n't even tell what flavour it was , " another participant complained . The soupgate summit became notorious . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's predicament demanded an extreme level of political creativity . He persuaded Sunak to see Dominic Cummings . The Vote Leave man was toxic for Tory MPs . The meeting was off the books in Booth-Smith 's flat in Pimlico , southwest London . Most of Downing Street had no idea it had taken place for another year . Sunak outlined his steady-as-she-goes approach to the economy . Cummings told him it would be " a complete disaster " . He said : " You just had Boris and Truss create this utter shitshow . You 've got to have an emergency budget early in the new year , and you 've got to say that Boris 's tax rises in the third quarter of 2021 were wrong and should never have happened , that you disagree with them , and that we should never have broken a manifesto pledge . " Sunak was raking in income tax by freezing thresholds , but Cummings said : " We should do the opposite . We should increase the 40 per cent income tax threshold to 100 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ per cent tax bracket . " The government was in a pay dispute with the junior doctors and nurses . Cummings told Sunak to settle the strikes " immediately " and " make rebuilding the NHS one of your core two or three priorities that everyone can see week in , week out , you 're working on . Make a huge national effort in the spirit of the vaccine taskforce . " He also told the prime minister to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights ( ECHR ) so he could tackle illegal migration . Sunak listened but he did not have the stomach for Cummings 's proposals . " The parliamentary party was in an absolutely horrific state , " an ally recalled . " He thought it would drive a coach and horses through our attempt to try and bring everyone together . " In common with Suella Braverman , the home secretary , Smith believed that to stop the boats and make the Rwanda policy work , Sunak had to be more radical in derogating from the ECHR in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dowden in his study one evening . A witness said : " Dougie just let rip -- ' do not delude yourself that you 're going to solve it any other way ' . Rishi reacted very negatively to it , more negatively than I 'd ever seen him react . " Another said : " He totally lost his rag . " The prime minister was enraged , out of his seat , up and at Smith , finger pointing , grievances once internalised now flowing . " You know what ? You and Olive Dowden 's nickname betrayed me ! " Sunak shouted , referring to the leadership contest which he lost to Truss . " You walked away from me . Once it became clear I was n't going to win , you both went on holiday ! " This was true in so far as it went , but both had cancelled family holidays to help out until there was no point working 14 hours a day . The confrontation was a lesson for the prime minister 's other aides in how little @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deputy prime minister TOBY MELVILLE/WPA/GETTY IMAGES Having achieved little at Chequers , Booth-Smith called a meeting of senior staff in the Thatcher study , upstairs at No 10 , just before Christmas . Sixteen political aides attended . " We need to step it up a gear , " he said . On a whiteboard they mapped out Labour 's vulnerabilities , Sunak 's opportunities and possible announcements for the government grid . " This was the meeting we should have had at Chequers , " an adviser said . The upshot of this activity was announced on January 4 , 2023 . Sunak gave a speech outlining five priorities for his government and vowed to deliver on each of them within a year . They could be summarised in just thirteen words : " Halve inflation , grow the economy , reduce debt , cut waiting lists , stop the boats . " Before a speech in east London where Sunak outlined his five priorities By the end of June , Sunak was in a deep funk . A senior adviser said : " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spent a lot of his time in a very bad place . He goes through long periods of just being really down because he ca n't understand why it 's happening . He does n't really get it . " Sunak 's inability to move the dial with the public was the first major failure of his professional life . His incomprehension at his lack of success said a lot about his relative inexperience and naivety about politics . In one outburst he complained : " Why do people not realise I 'm right ? " After Winchester , Oxford , Stanford and Goldman Sachs , another friend said : " His whole life has been an equation -- ' the harder I work , the better I do ' -- and politics does n't work like that . " A cabinet minister said : " He 's the kid who does all his homework and ca n't understand why he has n't got an A. " Booth-Smith felt the need for more political muscle . He persuaded Cummings to visit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . The pair had dinner and spoke for two hours . No one else was present . Hardly anyone even knew about the meeting . Cummings again pressed for Sunak to announce withdrawal from the ECHR . " There 's lots of fundamental problems that we ca n't solve unless you sort out the ECHR , " he said . " In 2020 , I got all the government lawyers in , we red-teamed it with external experts and everyone was completely clear . It 's impossible to stop this boats problem unless you 're prepared to repeal the Human Rights Act and say that we 're not going to be bound by Strasbourg court decisions on the subject . In terms of crime and antiterrorism , it imposes insane restrictions . We ca n't even keep convicted terrorists in Belmarsh under proper supervision . It 's complete insanity . " He urged Sunak to declassify the details and explain fully to the public how the ECHR was binding the government 's hands . " It 's good for the country to sort this out . And secondly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them a massive strategic problem . It 's the right thing to do and it 's great politics . " Sunak was cautious . " The system will go crazy , " he said . " Of course ! " Cummings said . " But look at the situation that you 're in . Boris and Truss have driven the country into a massive crater and there is no calm , easy way out of it . If you just go along with the establishment view , tweak a few things here and there , then the country is going to keep on disintegrating and , politically , you 're going to disintegrate . If you listen to all the establishment characters who are saying ' steady as she goes ' , a year from now you 'll be completely , utterly sunk . " Once more , Cummings urged Sunak to settle the NHS strikes , but he found the prime minister " more fatalistic " than he had been in November . Nurses on the picket line outside the Royal Marsden Hospital in west London @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crisis meeting to agree a new strategy was held over a dinner attended by a large group on Sunday July 16 at the Londoner Hotel . One diner recalled : " That was an appalling meeting . " The following evening , Levido and his sidekick Michael Brooks went to Downing Street to thrash things out with Sunak , Booth-Smith and James Forsyth , Sunak 's best friend and political secretary . The polling showed that voters wanted change ; both Levido and Booth-Smith believed they would have to offer it , in the form of forward-looking policies , at some point . " The decision was made to do it in the autumn rather than at the start of 2024 , " a source said . Part of the rationale for the pivot was to provide therapy for Sunak . " He was very down , " a senior adviser said . " A big part of Liam 's job was finding ways of keeping the guy up , because the show had to be kept on the road . There was still a country to govern @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ project to focus on and have ownership of was important for keeping him positive and engaged . " Following his meeting with Cummings , the PM asked himself what he wanted to achieve with what remained of his time at the top . His conclusion was : " Short-term decision-making leads to long-term failure . " But the " let Sunak be Sunak " plan produced a bizarre smorgasbord of policies , which failed to hang together or support the headline " change " message . The policy unit put out a call for ideas . " Lots of people wrote up their pet projects , " a No 10 adviser recalled . " They put together this policy book . It was like an Argos catalogue of ideas and Rishi went through it and just randomly picked anything he liked the look of . " First Sunak scrapped the northern leg of HS2 between Birmingham and Manchester . " Rishi thought it was a total waste of money when he was chancellor , " a source said . The prime minister then said he would abolish @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all pupils studied maths and English until the age of 18 . The new exam was to be called the Advanced British Standard , which sounded like a washing machine regulation . Finally , he announced plans to phase out smoking . " It was so Rishi , " an adviser said . " It 's not just like he does n't smoke . He hates smoking and thinks that anybody who smokes is basically morally degenerate . That 's him at his most narrow , puritanical , Californian . " An aide countered : " It polled remarkably well . " One of Sunak 's closest aides admitted they " indulged him " at conference . " Everyone kept saying to him , ' What do you want to do ? ' He said , ' These are the things I think are important . I care about them , and I think the country will be better and healthier and stronger as a result . ' " For many , however , this was Sunak 's best chance to get the public to look at him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was the last straw , " a No 10 veteran said . On multiple occasions between September and December 2023 , Sunak openly discussed with his closest confidants whether to resign as prime minister and let someone else lead the Conservatives into the general election . " He definitely , over the autumn period , gave consideration to whether he was the right person to lead it forward , " said one of those in whom he confided . " He thought about that both before and after the party conference , " peaking " in the month before Christmas " . Aides say Sunak " flagged it a couple of times in small groups " and spoke to both Dowden and Julian Smith , the former chief whip who had licence to drift in and out of Downing Street . " He just posed the question , " one adviser said , " ' is it better that I go and leave it to someone else ? ' He was n't trying to cling on . He was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ party ? ' He understood that there were clear downsides to him . " From each of these confidants , Sunak got the same message , summarised by one of them : " The idea that we should have another prime minister is clearly mental . " The PM was " so loose " that he " would drop his guard completely and just say what he was thinking in front of officials " . Political aides had to " grab him " and warn " you really ca n't say stuff like that " with civil servants present . The plotters were unaware that if they had managed to drum up the letters from Tory MPs to force a vote of no-confidence , Sunak would almost certainly have walked . A senior Downing Street figure said : " He would have fought the confidence motion , won it , and probably then at that point said , ' Thanks , but no thanks . ' I think he would have proved the point that he had won , but then said , ' I 'm not going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . ' " Sunak announcing the election date in the driving rain on May 22 , 2024 SUNDAY TIMES PHOTOGRAPHER JACK HILL By the new year Sunak and his aides were openly contemplating calling an election . Conversations which were sporadic in January and February became more regular ; there were three or four major conversations in April . As deputy prime minister , Dowden saw it as his job to ask the question . He told friends he had no strong view , but others were clear he was keenest to move quickly . " Olive was the firmest , " a colleague said . " James Forsyth was more open-minded but responsive to the PM 's mood , " which was now leaning towards getting on with it . " Liam had worries about holding the building together over what would have been a pretty dicey summer . " The discussions increasingly focused on upcoming problems , of which overcrowding in prisons was a concern of Dowden 's . The bigger problem was imminent public sector pay deals , where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , there was illegal migration , with a new armada of small boats predicted and the issue of whether they would be able to get a repatriation flight to Rwanda in the air before polling day . " He is flinty about public money , " a close aide said . " He knew that in those summer pay negotiations we would be in a very weak position . The unions had basically said , ' If you do n't want us to strike and destroy your election chances , we want inflation-busting pay rises all round . ' He really did n't like the idea of being forced into that . " Sunak on a Border Agency cutter during a visit to Dover . Aides feared small boats would help sink the Tories in an early election YUI MOK/PA The only problem with this growing consensus was that the man who had been hired to run the election disagreed . Levido thought strategically that autumn would be the best time to maximise the Conservative vote , once optimism about the economy had begun to influence voting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " good , hard-working MPs " wanted to go long . " We 'll be surprising and pissing them off , " he warned . This message was repeated by Craig Williams , Sunak 's parliamentary private secretary . " Your first rule of politics is : do n't surprise your colleagues . " On April 3 , Levido and Brooks penned a memo for Sunak outlining the case to delay . " It is strategically most beneficial to have an autumn election in October or November , " they explained . " We need as much time as possible for economic metrics to improve and for voters to feel better off . An earlier election gives us less scope to communicate about economic progress , because voters are less likely to feel financially optimistic . " The paper also argued that moving before summer would remove the " potential positive psychological effects of summer " , including lower energy bills , holidays , better weather , the Euro 24 football tournament and the Olympics . The memo acknowledged the concerns of Sunak 's team , that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ party division and other off-message distractions and policy challenges ( eg strikes , increased Channel crossings ) " . Sunak had also given up on getting a succession of interest rate cuts . But going early meant the Tories would have to deploy more " wedge " issue policies " because we would have less ammunition to fight on the economy " . The memo concluded : " The election will be a fist fight , and we want to be able to throw punches with both fists -- our economy fist , and our policy platform/reform fist ... in summer , our ability to fight on the economy will be weaker , meaning we will have to punch harder with our reform fist in order to hurt Labour and inject urgency into the campaign . Whereas in autumn , our ability to throw punches on the economy will be stronger , meaning we can hit Labour hard with both fists . " But Sunak was at the end of his tether . " Every day was grinding him down , " a minister said . " He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sake of the party and the country , making himself do it . He was not enjoying office . In the end , his approach was , ' Nothing else is working . Just bring it on . ' " By the final week of April , the decision to go in July was made . It was presented to the cabinet as a fait accompli . As he stepped into Downing Street Sunak met a downpour of biblical proportions . In the cabinet room , where a television had been set up , ministers stared open-mouthed . " What is that ? " asked an incredulous Esther McVey . " What are we watching ? " One minister who had been in on the decision shrank into his seat : " As the speech started and the rain poured , I just wanted the ground to swallow me up . " |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'takes the guesswork out of launching a successful experience' does not involve a causee NP object that participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'the guesswork' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', and 'launching a successful experience' is a gerund phrase modifying 'the guesswork'.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, 'checked out of boxing' is a phrasal verb where 'out of' is part of the verb phrase and does not introduce a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the sentence does not yield a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'get out of' which is a phrasal verb followed by a gerund, but lacks an NP object that functions as a causee. Therefore, it does not qualify as an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Coleen Rooney has opened up about the toll that the Wagatha Christie trial took on her , revealing it " stripped of her character " and inflicted serious anxiety upon her . Speaking candidly about her experience during the court battle against Rebekah Vardy , which stemmed from her accusation of Ms Vardy leaking stories to the press - an allegation that the High Court declared " substantially true " - Coleen confessed to feeling " ashamed " throughout the process . The mum-of-four , who has faced challenges in the public eye before including issues within her marriage and the tragic loss of her sister , starred in her in Disney+ documentary ' Coleen Rooney : The Real Wagatha Story ' , which dropped on the streaming platform in August of last year . Ahead of Coleen competing in this year 's I 'm a Celebrity ... Get Me out of Here ! the series is now also available to watch on ITVX , and will air on ITV2 next month . One poignant moment in the series sees Coleen share : " Obviously , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , especially with my marriage and the death of my sister . I 've always held myself together but dealt with it in private , because it 's a private situation . For example , with my marriage , I can sit down with my husband in the house and deal with that . I can sit down with my family and we can console each other . " She added : " I could n't sit down with Rebekah in a room and deal with it . From when she issued the court letter , it was all dealt with in the public eye . It was out of my control . While other times have been heartbreaking and upsetting , this was stressful . " The 38-year-old revealed that the entire ordeal caused her a great deal of distress , both emotionally and physically . Coleen , who suffers from reactive arthritis , a condition causing inflammation in various joints , experienced a severe flare-up due to the stress , as reported by the Mirror . She confessed : " It stripped me of me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ want to socialise with people at all . I was completely in my own world . I would be on the phone crying and crying , saying to Paul Stretford our manager , ' I do n't know if I can do this anymore ' , and there were also times when I 'd be about to say ' Just give her what she wants ' , but then something would drive me to say , ' Coleen , you 're not being true to yourself , carry on . ' " . " Wayne was really supportive all the way through , telling me , ' You 've done nothing wrong , carry on and tell the truth and people will see you for you ' . It was those comments that would pick me up . I was hoping that we could settle the case and we would n't have to go to court . " " I was n't afraid of what was going to come up , as everything in our lives has been played out in the media , but I was scared @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ court -- that is not me . I would rather do it more quietly and sit around a table . A lot of people thought I 'd taken Rebekah to court , but she drove the whole thing . " Coleen 's new series focuses on the court trial as well as other aspects of her life . She admitted that just before the case started , she felt " ashamed " . She continued : " The lowest point was when the court case was getting close . I 've never stepped into a courtroom before , and was so scared of getting on that stand . Even though I knew what I believed , it seemed like I was putting on a show for the whole country . " " I felt ashamed , and I tried to do everything I could to get out of going to court . But for that to happen , I 'd have had to lie and take back what I said in my Instagram post , and I could n't do that . But I could n't focus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I 'm not a massive worrier , this really got to me .

Rachel Reeves has unveiled proposals to establish pension ' megafunds ' as part of a major overhaul that could impact your future savings . Speaking at Mansion House , the Chancellor outlined plans to merge nearly 90 smaller local authority and private workplace pensions into larger funds , with the aim of generating higher returns . She pointed out that similar schemes in Australia and Canada have been successful , stating : " Australian pension schemes invest around three times more in infrastructure investment compared to defined contribution schemes in the UK and 10 times more in private equity -- including in high-growth businesses -- compared to the UK . One of the key reasons for this is the much larger size of their funds . " Reeves emphasised the need to ensure that British savers can enjoy the benefits of investments in domestic assets , rather than overseas investors : " While our pensions landscape remains highly fragmented , that means many of our pension funds do not have the capacity to invest at the scale required . And more often than not , it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in British productive assets through their pension schemes , rather than British savers . That 's not good enough , and we need to change that . " The government is set to run a consultation on these reforms before introducing them in a new Pension Schemes Bill next year . The government 's new plans may affect individuals enrolled in defined contribution ( DC ) pension schemes , the most prevalent form of workplace pension . In a DC scheme , employees contribute a regular sum to their pension , with the final value contingent on the amount saved and investment growth by retirement , reports the Mirror . Authorities are considering setting minimum fund thresholds , speculated to be between ? 25 billion and ? 50 billion . Moreover , there 's ongoing consultation about granting fund managers the authority to transfer individuals out of underperforming schemes . In contrast , those in defined benefit ( DB ) pension schemes , which provide a lifetime income based on salary and employment tenure , will remain unaffected . Commenting on the proposals , Tom Selby @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their potential but highlighted the necessity for ensuring they yield optimal returns for retirees ' savings . He stated : " The government 's hope will be that by moving from having 86 local government schemes down to a single one , or a few , will benefit from economies of scale . " The expert voiced significant concerns about pension investments , stating : " My overarching concern is that the needs of the saver , whose money is ultimately going to be risked , will be forgotten about . There 's a reason that an occupational scheme has a trustee to look after the interests of members . Part of that is investing their money to maximise returns and get the best retirement outcomes possible . " He further cautioned against merging investment goals with retirement planning : " Conflating a government goal of driving investment in the UK and people 's retirement outcomes brings a danger because the risks are all taken with members ' money . If it goes well , everyone can celebrate . But it 's clearly possible that it will go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ caution in this push to use other people 's money to drive economic growth . " The proposed reforms suggest a major consolidation of Defined Contribution ( DC ) pension schemes , which would lead local government pension scheme authorities to pool assets . By 2030 , the Local Government Pension Scheme in England and Wales is expected to manage ? 500 billion , with DC pension schemes projected to oversee around ? 800 billion by the end of the decade .

IN RECENT days we have heard senior executives and experts express deep concerns about the NHS , the justice system and about policing . These are not the complaints about ongoing deterioration in public services that have unfortunately become commonplace after 14 dreadful years of Tory rule . No , these are new complaints about the effect on public services under the Labour government 's plans over the next few years . As a result , there is now a chasm between the PR spin on the Budget and the reality as experienced by senior managers tasked with organising and delivering those services . That chasm reflects the reality enormous level of underfunding of public services overall . Therefore , we should expect these complaints to get louder and become even more widespread , and are sure to spread to local government an other areas . The head of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an acceleration in the trends of falling enrolment of nurses and falling rates of retention of qualified nurses . Inevitably , poor pay and condition are cited in both cases . But the NHS was supposed to be one of the key beneficiaries of increased government outlined in the Budget . Clearly , though , the 5.5 per cent pay ward is insufficient to reverse these trends in staffing . This is because the real growth in spending on public services across the life of this Parliament will be abysmally low , barely above 2 per cent a year on average . Overall , total departmental expenditure limits will be rising at a rate comparable to the last 14 years , nothing better . While the PR ( and large parts of the Treasury Budget documents ) focused on the next 18 months , the austerity in public services is there for all to see in the funding projections for the remainder of this Parliament . If spending in key public services will only grow at the same pace as the last 14 years , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ For the same reason , we have also heard complaints from chief executives in the NHS trusts . A survey for NHS providers of 171 trust chief executives show the majority believing that it is unlikely or very unlikely that they will be able to get back within the standard of treating patients within 18 weeks any time over the next five years . They specifically cite funding pressures as the reason . The failure to meet the 18-week standard would be a breach of the Labour manifesto pledge . But the funding is wholly inadequate to meet that target . By comparison , when Blair and Brown increased real NHS funding by an average of 5.5 per cent per year each year under the Labour government , the NHS thrived and waiting lists and waiting times plummeted . We know what is needed to address the crisis in the NHS . Yet the latest Budget plan for the NHS is a one-off boost of ? 22.5 billion , which the spokesperson for NHS providers says will overwhelmingly be eaten up by existing commitments . Future @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ average growth under the Tories . At the same time , Blairite minister-turned-lobbyist for private health Alan Milburn decries what he calls the " more , more , more culture " of the NHS and says it is " drinking in the last-chance saloon . " Oddly this never seems to apply to the MoD , where it is ministers who lead the charge for more , more , more . The NHS is being set up to fail . The false claim of vast new spending will be followed by the inevitable clamour for alternative models , privatised models , when there is no appreciable improvement in performance . The funding is not being made for improvement . Similarly false claims of generous funding have been made across the public sector . But experts and chiefs can see the reality in their own outline budgets . That is why Met Commissioner Mark Rowley says that the government is forcing through eye-watering cuts . Charlie Falconer is calling for the Ministry of Justice budget to be ring-fenced because he knows next year 's planned increase @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and complaints like will become the norm across the public sector as the reality of austerity is itemised in multiyear budgets . There should be no surprise that newspapers which support austerity have not called out this Labour version of it . There is no surprise too that outlets that support Starmer will not call it out either . Yet it is vital that the labour movement is clear-headed about what is happening . It would be very surprising if there was an immediate rising tide of militancy in unions against austerity where many members have just received substantial pay awards ( and it is not accident that the RCN is one of the exceptions to this , given the way they were treated and the end of their dispute ) . Union members should see those pay increases as a reward for their hard work , militancy and determination during their disputes . But those above-inflation pay increases can not be on offer in subsequent years while Rachel Reeves stays within her " fiscal envelope " for this Parliament . Further improvements in pay can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do so . And unions must be clear that they are funded with new money , not taken out of existing budgets as is the case this year . Non-pay cuts to funding for essential services are simply not achievable without decimating services . Yet this points to a wider issue . The government may have bought peace temporarily with some above-inflation awards , the vague promises of positive trade union reform and an increase in the national minimum wage . But robbing Peter to pay Paul is not a viable strategy . Freezing income tax thresholds , cutting welfare payments and running down public services are all taking place now , while further pain on pay is to come . Meanwhile , the PR machine will crunch into gear . The claim that will be made is that government generosity in public services has failed and we need a new model for public services . All those much more efficient private-sector operators must be allowed to show us how it is done . Milburn and Streeting have already told us as much . The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ That is why it is so important to the labour movement now to understand that this is renewed austerity , and that public services will fail once more , alongside the living standards of workers and the poor . That is the essence of austerity . |

Connor Goldson has hinted Rangers ' failure to act in the transfer market after stopping Celtic 's charge for 10 in a row has been the catalyst for their struggle to become top dogs in Scotland . The Gers lifted their first league title in 10 years under Steven Gerrard in 2021 , going unbeaten during the entire Premiership season to be crowned as champions for the 55th time with six games to spare . But in the following summer , the club 's recruitment did not have the desired effect , with Rangers crashing out of qualifying in the Champions League to Malmo after signing just one player for a significant sum of money in midfielder Leandro Bacuna . Fashion Sakala Jr , John Lundstram and Nnamdi Ofoborh all arrived on free transfers and less than three months after the window closed , Gerrard jumped ship to take up the reins at Aston Villa . Although his successor Giovanni van Bronckhorst picked up the pieces and led them to the final of the Europa League , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had to watch their Old Firm rivals claim the last three titles on the spin , with van Bronckhorst , Michael Beale and now Philippe Clement all failing in trying to halt the Hoops dominance . Earlier this week , Record Sport 's Scott McDermott sat down with Goldson - who swapped Ibrox for Aris Limassol last summer - to look back on his six-years at Ibrox , and learned the 31-year-old that centre back 's thoughts on why Rangers were not able to build from a position of strength after winning the league . Appearing onRecord Sport 's Hotline Live on Monday , McDermott said : " It was n't in the piece but just from talking to him , the vibe I got from Connor Goldson was that he knew that in that summer with Gerrard ( after they won the league ) they were going in for certain players that would kick them on and take them to the next step . Those players did n't arrive and I do n't think the standard of player that did come in was good enough . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dressing room , he felt disappointed by that . He absolutely loved the whole European run with Gio ( van Bronckhorst ) to Seville and all those nights at Ibrox which he says were some of the best nights of his life . " But I just think deep down , he and Gerrard felt that when they won that title and in the state of disarray Celtic were in at that time having lost a manager and several key players , that was the time to try and kick on and get out of sight after stopping the 10 in a row . " Instead Rangers stood still and Celtic , to their credit brought in a brilliant manager in ( Ange ) Postecoglou and managed to turn it around quickly . And I think Goldson says it himself that Rangers have never been the same since then .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It involves an intransitive verb 'comes' with no NP object and the phrase 'out of hiding' does not introduce a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not give rise to either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'take the stress out of hosting' does not involve a causee NP object participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'hosting' is a gerund functioning as the object of the preposition 'out of', and the construction does not convey causation or prevention as required by the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'out of losing positions' involves an NP ('losing positions') as a complement of the complex preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

Arsenal have a deep French connection , with many top talents joining due to Arsene Wenger . Only two French players have joined since Wenger left in 2018 - Saliba & Guendouzi . Thierry Henry tops the list of the best 11 French players in Arsenal history . Arsenal have a stronger connection to France than most teams in England . Arsene Wenger 's arrival as manager at the club in 1996 saw many of the top talents in France head to north London to team up with Wenger . Before he even officially became manager at Arsenal , Wenger recommended compatriots Remi Garde and Patrick Vieira to the club . From there , the French players kept coming to Arsenal . Since Wenger left Arsenal in 2018 , only two French players have joined the club . Matteo Guendouzi signed from Lorient in 2018 under Unai Emery , but his successor Mikel Arteta fell out with the midfielder , and he was sold to Marseille in 2022 . The other French player to arrive after Wenger 's reign is William @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Gunners ' first-team . Some of the best players to ever play for Arsenal have come from France . In this list , we look at the best eleven French players in the Gunners ' history . Quality of performance - How well each player played on the pitch during their time at Arsenal Success - This can be measured not only through trophies won , but how well the club performed during their Arsenal careers Longevity - How long they stayed with the Gunners Best 11 French Players in Arsenal History Rank Player Arsenal Career 1 . Thierry Henry 1999 - 2007 and 2012 2 . Patrick Vieira 1996 - 2005 3 . Robert Pires 2000 - 2006 4 . Laurent Koscielny 2010 - 2019 5 . Olivier Giroud 2012 - 2018 6 . Sylvain Wiltord 2000 - 2004 7 . Bacary Sagna 2007 - 2014 8 . William Saliba 2019 - Present @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 10 . Emmanuel Petit 1997 - 2000 11 . Nicolas Anelka 1997 - 1999 Photo courtesy of Reuters . Anelka was the first player that Arsene Wenger officially signed for the club , given that Patrick Vieira and Remi Garde arrived at Highbury before Wenger . With club legend Ian Wright approaching the end of his time at Arsenal , Wenger signed one of France 's hottest prospects with the hope of him being a long-term replacement . He had a breakthrough season in 1997-98 , scoring his first goal for the club in a 3-2 win against title rivals Manchester United that season . He was a big part of Arsenal 's double success in 1998 and capped off a fine season with a goal in the FA Cup final against Newcastle . The following year , Anelka netted 17 goals in the Premier League and began to attract the interest of Europe 's biggest clubs . Despite Arsenal being in contention for trophies , the lure of Real Madrid proved too @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sulk ' by the media due to stating his desire to leave the club , had Anelka stayed longer at the club , he would feature far higher on the list . The striker struggled to settle anywhere during his career , and played for 12 different clubs . The Gunners have had many South American stars over the years who have helped them to success in competitions such as the Premier League and FA Cup . Photo courtesy of Reuters . Petit started his professional career at Monaco , where he played under Arsene Wenger . The pair reunited in London in 1997 , as Wenger raided his former club to sign Petit . In France , Petit played several positions , including at full-back and in central defence . He played a deep-lying role at Arsenal , and his previous experience in defence ensured his positioning was usually spot on . He covered well when other players were forward , and could unlock defences with his accurate passing . Petit 's partnership in the midfield with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and had long-term potential . The partnership only lasted three years , however , as Petit left for Barcelona in 2000. Lacazette joined Arsenal for a then club-record fee of ? 46.5m from the striker 's hometown club Lyon . He made an instant impact at Arsenal , scoring just 94 seconds into his Premier League debut aganst Leicester . The arrival of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in January 2018 marked the start of an impressive strike partnership between the two . Lacazette finished his first season at Arsenal as the club 's top scorer , with 17 goals in all competitions . His best season at the club was in 2018-19 , where he scored 19 times in all competitions , as Arsenal finished runners-up in the Europa League . As a result , Lacazette won the club 's Player of the Season award , despite Aubameyang scoring more goals . Although his form dipped slightly in 2019-20 , he helped Arsenal win the FA Cup that season . He then bounced back with 17 goals the following @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ again . At a time when Arsenal were transitioning between managers , and their league performance was inconsistent , Lacazette delivered for the club . He returned to Lyon in 2022 following the expiry of his contract . Photo courtesy of Reuters . Saliba may have joined Arsenal in 2019 , but it took some time for him to find a place in the Arsenal team . The French defender was sent back to his homeland for loan spells with Saint-Etienne , Nice and Marseille before finally getting his chance at the Emirates in 2022 . His impact on the defence was so big that when Saliba was injured for the closing months of the 2022-23 season , many fans felt his absence cost the Gunners the title that season . His partnership with Gabriel has helped make Arsenal one of the meanest defences in the league , with the two forming an incredible partnership . Saliba won possession more than any other centre-back in the league last season and offers a calming presence to Arsenal 's defence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at a high level , there 's no doubt he will earn a higher spot on this list in the future . GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic - In 2023-24 , William Saliba became the first outfield player since Lee Dixon in 1989-90 to play every minute of a league campaign for the Gunners . Photo courtesy of Reuters . Solid , dependable and extremely versatile , Sagna was an unsung hero during his seven years at Arsenal . His consistency at right-back saw Emmanuel Eboue lose his place at the position , soon after he had established himself there . He was rewarded for his consistency by earning a place in the PFA Team of the Year in his debut season at the club . His versatility saw him fill in at left-back and centre-back when required , where he played so well , that you would n't have noticed he was out of position . Arsenal struggled for silverware during Sagna 's time at the club . His only trophy during his seven-year stay in London came in his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ final win over Hull . Photo courtesy of Reuters . Wiltord was a club-record signing when he arrived at Arsenal from Bordeaux for ? 13m in 2000 . Despite the large outlay , he was n't guaranteed a starting role in London every week . With Thierry Henry , Dennis Bergkamp and Kanu all at the club , Wiltord was part of a strong attacking rotation . Although he was a striker , Wiltord could also play on either wing , which helped him get into the starting line-up at times . He is best remembered for his title-winning goal at Old Trafford against Manchester United in 2002 . That season was his most prolific at Arsenal , as he bagged 17 goals in Arsenal 's double winning campaign . He was also a part of the Invincibles side in 2004 , but by that point , he was on the fringes of the team . Wiltord returned to France with Lyon in 2004 , where he won three consecutive Ligue 1 titles . The French striker was capable of the sublime - his scorpion kick against Crystal Palace in 2017 is a fine example of that . Giroud is a divisive figure among Arsenal fans . He scored in one FA Cup final for Arsenal and also provided two match-winning assists in another two FA Cup finals , so he certainly contributed in big moments . However , some point to his 12-match goal drought in 2015-16 as a reason why Arsenal did n't win the Premier League that season . His performance against Monaco in the Champions League in 2015 , where he missed many opportunities , is often cited by those who speak less fondly of Giroud . Overall , Giroud scored 105 times for Arsenal in his six years at the club . He is one of only 19 players with 100 or more goals for Arsenal . Sure , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deserves some respect . Photo courtesy of Reuters . One year with Lorient in Ligue 1 was the only top-flight experience Koscielny had before he joined Arsenal in 2010 . In his first year , it showed . He was sent off on his Premier League debut in a 1-1 draw with Liverpool , and his season was a mixture of highs and lows . A magnificent performance in Arsenal 's win over Barcelona in February 2011 was a standout high . Later that month , Koscielny 's mix-up with goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny allowed Obafemi Martins to score a late winner for Birmingham in the League Cup final . The following season , Per Mertesacker arrived from Werder Bremen , with the German paired with Koscielny at the heart of Arsenal 's defence . A commanding centre-back , Koscielny also knew how to score a goal . His goals on the final day of the season at both West Brom and Newcastle helped Arsenal secure Champions League qualification in consecutive seasons . Koscielny also scored Arsenal 's equaliser in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trophy with the club . A regular throughout his years at Arsenal when fit , Koscielny often wore the armband whenever the club captains were unavailable . He was officially made the club captain for his final season at Arsenal in 2018-19 . In 2019 , Koscielny refused to travel on Arsenal 's pre-season tour , stating his desire to return to France . He was sold to Bordeaux that summer . Photo courtesy of Reuters . Pires took some time to adjust to the English game , but once he did , he proved a special talent . His vision and flair on the wing replaced the talents Arsenal missed from the departing Marc Overmars . An integral part of Arsenal 's double success in 2002 , a knee injury cruelly cut his season short . He enjoyed a derby against Tottenham more than most , netting eight times against Spurs during his time at Arsenal . He scored the winner against Southampton in the 2003 FA Cup final and had arguably his best season during the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cole down the left-hand side was difficult to stop , with two of the best players in the world working together . One of his more memorable goals was his lob over Peter Schmeichel against Aston Villa in 2002 , but Pires scored many special goals during his time at the club . An undisputed legend of the club , Pires left Arsenal to join Villarreal in 2006 . His final appearance for the club was cut short in the 2006 Champions League final , as he made way for Manuel Almunia following Jens Lehmann 's early dismissal . Photo courtesy of Reuters . Vieira was the cog that made everything work in Arsenal 's midfield for almost a decade . The towering Frenchman was a dominant force in Arsenal 's midfield , with a tireless energy that made him a contributor to both the defence and the attack . Following the retirement of long-term captain Tony Adams in 2002 , Vieira took the captain 's armband at Highbury . A natural leader , Vieira 's battles with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anybody talks about the Premier League during that era . Vieira was the captain of the Invincibles team in 2003-04 and scored the goal to clinch victory over Leicester on the final day of the season . His final game for the club was the 2005 FA Cup final , in which he scored the winning penalty in the shoot-out against Manchester United . Following years of speculation surrounding Vieira 's future at the club , he moved to Juventus in 2005. The greatest player in Arsenal 's history , bar none . Henry arrived as a winger from Juventus in 1999 , but by the time he left the club in 2007 , he was one of the most prolific strikers in the world . It took him nine games to score his first goal against Southampton , and by the end of the season , he had 26 goals . From there , he gradually became instrumental to Arsenal 's success . Talk of Arsenal being a ' one-man team ' was common at the time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , despite the Gunners have a squad loaded with talent . Arsenal were regular trophy winners with Henry at the club , his 32 goals in 2001-02 were a major part of Arsenal 's double success . For five straight seasons between 2001-02 and 2005-06 , Henry scored 30 or more goals . So often he came to Arsenal 's rescue and dragged them out of losing positions or won them games almost single-handedly . He became Arsenal 's record goalscorer in 2005 , breaking Ian Wright 's record at the club . Not only was Henry an excellent goalscorer , he was unselfish and regularly assisted his team-mates too . Henry returned in 2012 , on loan from MLS side New York Red Bulls . He scored on his second debut against Leeds , which remains an iconic moment in the Emirates era at the club . |

The number of quality jumps horses in training in Britain has continued to fall in 2024Credit : Edward Whitaker ( racingpost.com/photos ) The BHA has placed reversing a decline in the population of top-quality jumps horses in training in Britain " at the top of the issues that we are looking for ways to address " after figures showed the number of runners rated 130 or more had dropped by 14.2 per cent in the last nine months . In a recent blog , the BHA updated the performance of the sport against 12 targets set out as part of the two-year Premier racing trial . Among the objectives by the end of 2024 is to increase the number of Flat horses rated 85 or higher by five per cent , and the number of jumps horses rated 130 or more by 2.5 per cent . The intention would be for these increases to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been a 4.4 per cent increase in the number of 85-plus Flat horses , the number of higher-grade jumps horses has plummeted . At the end of October , there were only 584 horses that had raced and achieved a rating of 130 . While the BHA pointed to ground conditions being a factor , trainer Nick Alexander , president of the National Trainers Federation , said there needed to be a more fundamental review of the programme for horses and incentives for owners to arrest the fall . He said : " It 's quite an alarming stat . We have to start by having a programme that rewards having better horses than lower grade ones . " The Thoroughbred Group should be pressing for a clearly scaled prize-money programme with a 50 per cent uplift per class . Obviously this is simplistic , but we must create a straightforward , aspirational system that rewards better horses . " At the moment people are incentivised to make their horses worse . We need a programme that 's aspirational and there should be a root and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ There has been some encouraging signs for British racing , according to the BHA , with aims to improve prize-money and average field sizes , a reduction in the number of odds-on favourites and limiting the number of races clashing all on track with the objectives set out . However , average attendances have dropped by 0.5 per cent on Saturdays and crowds at Premier racedays have fallen by a total of 2.9 per cent , while betting turnover on the sport has continued to struggle . This year 's Grand National at Aintree started earlier than in previous yearsCredit : Edward Whitaker ( racingpost.com/photos ) Major festivals have been particularly impacted with a drop in turnover of 12.4 per cent , with the BHA in part blaming clashes with the Euro 2024 football tournament in the summer , but also " competitiveness issues " at the Cheltenham Festival and moving the start time of the Grand National to 4pm from 5.15pm . Average betting turnover for Premier fixtures was down 3.9 per cent , while the average turnover at core fixtures had dropped by 5.3 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ month . Turnover had been better on Saturdays when the protected window between 2-4pm had been in place , with ten per cent more bets placed compared to when the protected period was not in force . The BHA said the data , " clearly illustrates the better spreading out of races across the day is having a positive impact on betting activity on Saturdays " . Data produced by the Premier racing trial is set to be a key factor in forming the 2026 fixture list , for which parties are set to begin talks in the coming weeks . Julian Richmond-Watson , chairman of the Thoroughbred Group , said : " It 's encouraging to see that the number of highly rated Flat horses is holding up , but the concerns are that foal crops are dropping . As such , I think it 's important when we come to look at the 2026 fixture list that we approach it reflecting the likely drop in the number of horses in the system .

If Travis Binnion closed his eyes and pictured the perfect goal for his Under-21 side , it might look something like Ethan Ennis ' opening goal against Altrincham on Tuesday night . It was a proper Manchester United goal : ruthless counter-attacking and quality . Jack Moorhouse picked up the ball in his own half , shrugged off two Altrincham players who were desperate to foul him , drove forward with purpose and picked out Ennis who was waiting on the left . Moorhouse did exceptionally well to keep the ball , never mind pick the right pass , and Ennis composed himself before brilliantly placing a lofted shot in the top right corner . Binnion looked delighted and Altrincham 's in-house radio commentator could n't help but praise Moorhouse and Ennis , who combined in deadly fashion to give United the lead . Ennis was n't done there , though . The confidence was flowing through his veins and he popped up exactly 10 minutes later to double the advantage with a similar finish into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ did the leg work on that occasion . The youngster found himself in unfamiliar territory down the right flank and played a low , driven cross into the box . It deflected out and Amir Ibragimov tried his luck but Ennis was the one in clover when he picked the ball up . Sometimes your ' luck is in ' and the ball fortuitously fell to Ennis but there was nothing fluky about the finish , with the in-form 19-year-old curling a shot into the roof of the net again . The first half was the Ethan Ennis show and an Altrincham played looked sick of playing against him when he executed an outstanding turn and lost his marker after the half hour mark . Ennis subsequently lost the ball after that turn and Altrincham 's commentator sounded relieved . " He comes Ennis again . He 's been excellent again , has n't he ? He 's really lively , " he said just before the interval . Ennis is enjoying an excellent season - he is a goal threat in each game - and his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ goals and two assists in 12 academy appearances . So what you might be wondering , could Ennis be pushing to make his first-team debut ? The answer is he should be . It was a big deal when United signed Ennis from Liverpool in August 2021 but disaster struck a year later when he ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament ( ACL ) in his knee . He has done superbly to get back up to speed since returning in the middle of last season and a source has said his professionalism in and out of training has n't gone unnoticed at United . Ennis was rewarded with a new United contract in the summer , as his previous deal with the club expired in the summer of 2025 , and he was challenged to deliver consistently strong performances - throughout the entire 90 minutes of a match - by his coaches in the academy . Whether Ennis is given an opportunity to play for the first-team remains to be seen , but he ca n't do much more in academy games and seems guaranteed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the final seconds for his hat-trick and is a youngster worth closely watching . Moorhouse also deserves a notable mention . The 18-year-old was substituted after the hour mark and deserved the applause he received from the United fans among the 3,663 in attendance . His ability to drive forward with the ball at speed is a huge asset and will stand him apart . Altrincham finally got into the contest as the game progressed after the interval - they could n't deal with the aggressive pressing in the first half - but United continued to defend well . Amass , Jack Kingdon , Louis Jackson and Habeeb Ogunneye have all regularly been around first-team training at Carrington and looked unflustered against a physical Altrincham team . Alongside Ennis , those four players are pushing to make their debuts . Amass , Jackson and Ogunneye , who captained the U21s , were involved with several first-team squads due to injuries last season and Kingdon went to school with Ogunneye , so they have been on similar journeys . United opened their National League Cup campaign @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Ibragimov 's tap-in , which came before Ennis wrapped it up , made it 3-0 . The exciting 16-year-old , who started in attacking midfield , has been likened to Wayne Rooney but his goal against Altrincham was the easiest he 'll score in his career . Ibragimov had an empty goal at his mercy and it was the reward for working tirelessly years above his usual age group . United have made a perfect start to the competition , winning both of their games , and Ennis will be looking to score again in the final group game . He is becoming impossible to ignore .

Matt , who has established himself as one of the leading influences in the dressing room , graduated from the University of Wolverhampton in 2011 having studied Counselling Psychology . The 35-year-old has made a strong start to the season at Bescot - scoring five goals in 14 league outings while also recently reaching 500 professional career appearances . Walsall boast one of the youngest squads in the division and Matt has been hailed by a number of his colleagues for his role as the ultimate role model . But while passing his own experiences on to others has served as an invaluable asset for his teammates , Matt feels that his degree taught him the importance of listening above all else . " One of the biggest lessons I learnt from my degree was being open-minded .

But on a day-to-day basis , things can change so you 've got to have an open-mindset , be able to adapt and go with what is happening on that day . Your expectations wo n't always come through . " You also need mental toughness because you need to be consistent . There 's so many outliers that can happen from injuries to a change of manager .

He continued : " Enjoy it and embrace everything that is given to you . Hard work is such a clich ? . If you work hard and put in the effort everyday , you 'll get a lot out of being at University . " There are a lot of people at university who are willing to help you . University life can be more self-directed in what you do and give you structure .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'priced out of buying' involves an NP ('buying that same land themselves') as a complement of the complex preposition 'out of', but it does not introduce a VP[-ing] predicate that fits the movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Additionally, the NP object ('some of whom') does not function as a causee in the context of the construction.

If there ever were a group of protestors that would n't be detained by freezing weather , sleet and snow , it surely would be British farmers -- after all , braving the elements year-round is just part of their job . There is no doubt the anger and the sense of grievance being witnessed in the protests in a snowy London are real . Not least because they extend far more broadly than the Labour government 's reforms to how inheritance tax for farms is handled -- though there is no doubt that this is the inciting incident . Instead , farmers have described the reform as a " last straw " after they have been battered by policy after policy from the last government too . Despite many of them voting for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Brexit -- agricultural exporting is much more complex following leaving the European Union . Payments under the Common Agricultural Policy , much complained about by farmers at the time , are now a receding pleasant memory . The UK government 's new subsidy scheme to replace CAP pays farmers nothing to grow crops , but is instead all about conservation and land preservation . There is very little certainty as to what subsidies will look like more than a year ahead . It is a hard time to be a British farmer -- especially of a smallholding -- and there is a lot of pent-up anger and resentment . I heard from more than one farmer that the policies of the last government alone were effectively killing small farms in the UK , just without anyone admitting that was the policy . Against that backdrop , it is not hard to see why abolishing one of the most obvious tax advantages farmers had left would attract a huge backlash , especially given inheritance tax is already an unpopular tax across the country even though it is only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Labour 's new proposals still give farmland a much higher tax-free threshold than any other asset , and the tax is only charged at 20% of the value of the land above that -- as opposed to 40% for any other asset . Farmland still gets much more generous treatment from the taxman than anything else . There is much and furious disagreement between the government and farmers ' representatives on how many farmers will pay the tax , where that new threshold actually is in practice , and how damaging it will be to those affected . Rachel Reeves says 73% of farms will be unaffected ; the farmers say 66% will pay more . The debate has parallels to the one that so plagued Brexit : that ? 350 million a week would be better off going to the NHS . By squabbling over the precise figures , the wider argument was lost -- and no-one 's minds were changed by the details . The wider argument on inheritance tax on farmland is this : it is not some ancient or historical principle that farmland @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on farmland in 1992 , meaning in many cases only one generation has benefitted from it . Farmers kept Britain alive through world war two and centuries before without this -- it was an experiment that was tried out to see if it helped family farms . That question seems hard to answer in the affirmative . For anyone rich , farmland suddenly became an incredibly attractive asset , especially if they were older and looking to hand over as much of their wealth to the next generation , and not the taxman . The value of farmland soared over the decades since the introduction of the tax break -- not because farming was suddenly more lucrative , but because farmland was a nice asset to own . These new millionaire and billionaire landowners could make money leasing their land to working farmers ( some of whom were priced out of buying that same land themselves ) or else contracting people to work the land for them . Given the new government subsidy scheme pays landowners more generously not to farm their land than to work it , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government to keep it fallow , using it only for the occasional shooting or hunt day . Good agricultural land costs a farmer about ? 370 a hectare to rent , if he or she does n't own it . Tenant farmers -- who make up around a third of all UK farmers -- have to pay that to a landowner to be able to work the land , and do so on short-term leases of just three years typically . If they are to run a profitable business , they have to manage that huge cost of land -- but the more successful manage to do just that . Someone inheriting their farm , who owns the land outright , starts with a huge advantage , then -- for them , the land is no cost at all . How does that change with inheritance tax ? Depending who you believe , they need to pay 20% of the value of the land over somewhere between ? 1m to ? 3m . If they had to pay that immediately , that would mean selling some of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the land is worth far , far more than the tax they own , and so the farm could take out a business loan over a number of years ( comfortable to its own finances ) that would cost it far less than a tenant farmer ever pays for their land . One tenant farmer who walked me through these finances was baffled as to why the outcry was so loud -- saying he would love to pay as little for land as those inheriting under the new system would . In theory , reducing ( or eventually eliminating ) the tax break on farmland should mean that the land is only owned by people who actually want to use it for farming , instead of as a tax-efficient investment . This might even reduce the price of the land for tenant farmers looking to buy land of their own . But such is the mistrust of government and the sense of beleaguerment in the industry that even the tenant farmers ' association is opposing the changes . British farmers are in a bind . On @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way back to Napoleon , who decreed that farmland had to be split between heirs and could n't just go to the eldest . This created many small farms and small farmers in France , who retain significant political power . Napoleon never conquered the UK , and so farms were inherited by the eldest -- and if he did n't want to be a farmer , he sold the land to a neighbour , meaning UK farms got bigger and bigger , with fewer and fewer Brits being farmers . Consolidation has been the story for decades , if not centuries . Beyond that , the UK has not been self-sufficient for food for centuries , and will not feasibly ever become so ( we are a densely populated island on the same latitude as Siberia , for one ) . We simply do not have the affection for farmers of other European countries , and they do not have the same political power . Cynics in Westminster even wonder whether the government is quietly glad that a fight with the farmers is dominating the post-Budget @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hike hits places that employ part-time workers on relatively low wages the hardest . That generally means nurseries , care homes , home help , shops and hospitality businesses . This could be something of a triple whammy for the government : these are places that employ working mums , and so if they cut back on headcount , it will be noticed . Supermarkets and pubs might not pull the nation 's heartstrings , but they are low-margin businesses -- meaning that food price inflation next year could be laid on Reeves ' doorstep . And if there is a sudden collapse in childcare providers or nursing homes , the political blowup will be huge . All of those rows are simmering , but they are being dominated by the anger of the farmers . There are several dozen new Labour MPs in seats where farming is a major component of the local economy who must surely already be assuming that their stay in Westminster will likely be for one term only . But despite that pressure , Labour may still feel like the row is masking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , battered by reform after reform from one unsympathetic minister after another , might not have picked the best cause on which to make their stand . But tempers burst when they burst -- it ca n't be controlled or planned . It is perhaps telling that the figurehead of the protest , Jeremy Clarkson , said outright he bought his farm for the tax benefits , however sincerely devoted he is to the industry now . Working farmers might be fighting a cause that most benefits landowners or billionaires , but it is one they sincerely feel is their own -- and the portion of farmers who disagree are keeping their heads firmly down and their mouths firmly shut . Britain 's farmers know they are likely to lose this fight , but they feel obliged to have it anyway . They may have a better chance of success if they can coalesce on a reform to the package that would help them out without forcing a government u-turn -- perhaps increasing the tax-free threshold but charging inheritance tax at a higher percentage when it is raised @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ beyond full retreat , the government seems likeliest to wait it out -- and , judging by the nation 's apathy towards its farmers , probably to win .

In the first trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine , Ryan Reynolds ' ever loquacious Wade Wilson gives a suspicious glance at the batons in the hands of the TVA Agents who interrupted the birthday party . " Is that supposed to be scary ? Pegging is n't new for me , friendo , " Wade tells his assailants . Then , after waiting the appropriate beat of time for an audience giggle , he looks directly into the camera . " But it is for Disney . " With that last part , Deadpool his full arrival in the MCU . The gag does n't just highlight the Merc with a Mouth 's famous fourth-wall breaking awareness . It also indicates the edgy humor that made the character 's two movies at 20th Century Fox such big hits . With his tiny glance to the camera , Deadpool suggests that he 's bringing some of that boundary-pushing humor to the wholesome House of Mouse . But here 's the irony : if you can talk about pegging in a Disney movie -- more specifically , in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that aired during the Super Bowl no less -- then it is n't that edgy , is it ? As much as Disney and MCU chief Kevin Feige insist that they 're retaining the same sensibilities that Deadpool had in the first film , Deadpool & Wolverine fully transforms the character into a character no more dangerous or subversive than any other Marvel hero . Ad Ad -- content continues below " Kid 's got a real keen eye for the obvious , " quips Deadpool when his younger opponent Cannonball observes that Wade has overcome his forcefield . That statement is about as humorous as Deadpool gets in his first appearance from New Mutants #98 ( 1991 ) where he appeared as an assassin sent to kill the New Mutants ' new leader Cable . Yes , Deadpool began life as a generic edgy ' 90s character , created by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza . Eventually , Nicieza injected more humor into the character , even embracing the similarities to Deathstroke by giving the new marvel assassin a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wilson . But Deadpool did n't fully come into his own until Joe Kelly , Christopher Priest , and Gail Simone took over his solo title , eventually adding the metatextual awareness and off-beat humor that people have come to expect . Furthermore , it took Deadpool 's 2010 foray into the Mature Readers ' Marvel MAX line to really become the uncouth killer he is today . That mixture of self-awareness and gratuitous violence drove the infamous proof of concept footage that leaked online in 2014 and led to the actual movie 's production . Coming in at just under two minutes , the footage was produced by director Tim Miller and was commissioned by 20th Century Fox in 2012 . But between the clearly R-rated content , and the lackluster response to Ryan Reynolds ' Green Lantern , the studio balked . Obviously , this all changed after fans went nuts online for leaked footage of Deadpool hacking his enemies to bits . Not that Fox had a reason to complain . The first Deadpool movie that was greenlit from that embarrassment went on to earn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ onscreen by his girlfriend . As it turned out , blood , guts , and sex sell ... at least for a little while . Yes , everyone , it seems , loved Deadpool . But Deadpool did n't want everyone to love him , at least not in 2016 . Still released at the height of superhero movie madness , Deadpool attracted attention from viewers of all ages , prompting Reynolds to release a statement ( in character ) begging parents , " Please do n't take your underage children to see my movie . " Reynolds reiterated that sentiment while promoting Detective Pikachu in 2019 , saying , " My kids will never see Deadpool . " Five years later , things have evidently changed . Those same kids he wanted to shelter from the Merc with a Mouth are actually in Deadpool & Wolverine , along with their mother Blake Lively . And although he did n't totally put his stamp of approval on other parents showing the movie to their children , Reynolds did call Deadpool & Wolverine " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blessedly ) unaware of movie marketer speak , " four-quadrant " means that the film appeals to all four of the categories to which studios try to appeal : Men under 25 , Men over 25 , Women under 25 , and Women over 25 . The thing is , Reynolds is n't wrong . To be sure , the movie features plenty of blood and guts , starting with a bunch of TVA agents who Deadpool eviscerates with Logan 's corpse . But it 's all played like a more explicit version of a Looney Tunesshort , with none of the extended cruelty of , say , a Terrifier film . Moreover , it 's set to that most innocuous of pop numbers , " Bye Bye Bye " by N'Sync . No wonder the sequence has become a standby for family YouTube channels . The sex talk , while unusual for even an R-rated movie made by Disney , is n't that out there either . In fact , a lot of it has to do with Deadpool 's crush on Wolverine , which can be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stained comedies throughout the ' 80s ( and the ' 90s. and the 2000s. and the 2010s. and ... seriously , at least find a way to make the jokes funny if you 're going to keep doing them ) . However , there 's a sincerity to Reynolds ' delivery that shaves off some of the edge and makes them kind of charming . Which is the secret sauce to Deadpool 's irreverent success . Reynolds may struggle to deliver regular dialogue without a car salesman 's wink , but he ironically brings sincerity to his snark . Even the foulest words from the Merc 's ever-running mouth welcome people in on the joke instead of pushing them away . It allows them to appreciate that Wade sincerely enjoys pegging , even if he 's the only Disney character to openly say so ( but no longer indulge in the activity onscreen ) . Deadpool & Wolverine gets a lot of mileage out of poking fun at ( and poking swords into ) Nicepool , a handsome and very Canadian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ uses his non-regenerating counterpart as a human shield , letting the good guy die in agony while our cad lives on . That sounds like the stuff of doppelg ? nger nightmares , but it 's not how it plays out onscreen . Like every other part of Deadpool & Wolverine , Nicepool 's death is just a big joke with no real stakes . Which is , of course , fine for an MCU movie . However , the bigger joke is that Nicepool is Ryan Reynolds , a friendly Canadian who sometimes dresses up as a red-clad killer .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'pricing themselves out of having the best fight the very best' involves a reflexive pronoun 'themselves' and does not clearly involve a causer-causee relationship with a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to describe a situation where promoters and fighters have made themselves too expensive, which does not align with the defined properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Combat sports is on fire right now and the UFC as well as boxing are arguably in their most successful financial periods of all time . Turki Alalshikh 's fresh involvement in the sport of boxing has catapulted the sport back to the heights it used to be at after falling behind for many years due to different promoters and fighters pricing themselves out of having the best fight the very best . In his short time in boxing so far , Alalshikh has made some of the biggest fights of all time such as Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury for the undisputed heavyweight titles and a huge all-British heavyweight clash between Daniel Dubois and Anthony Joshua , which took place at a packed out Wembley Stadium . Boxing 's recent financial success is being followed by the UFC . Despite their biggest star , Conor McGregor , being absent from competition for the last three years , the promotion is absolutely thriving without him and is producing huge stars left , right , and centre , who have carried the sport forward . This has resulted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all time coming in 2024 . With the UFC and boxing both in insanely successful financial periods , now is a good time to take a look back at some of the biggest fights and events of all time . Including the recent fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson and the dream fight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor , GIVEMESPORT will take you through the top 10 largest US combat sports gates in history . Despite the huge backlash around the fight being made due to the massive age discrepancy , Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson proved to be a huge success and was watched by a staggering 108 million live viewers , according to Netflix . The fight took place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington , Texas , and it was packed to the brim with 72,300 fans in attendance . Despite a fiery fight week build-up , the fight itself was incredibly disappointing as it was basically held at the pace of an exhibition bout , leading to many fans in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the negative reaction the bout got , Paul , Tyson , and Netflix will no doubt be happy as the event generated a huge amount of money . For six years , Floyd Mayweather and Oscar De La Hoya 's highly anticipated clash held the top spot in the list of largest US combat sports gates . The bout was held in the fight capital of the world , Las Vegas , Nevada and was one of the most talked about and hyped boxing fights of all time . When there is a very exciting and intriguing build towards a fight , the actual fighting typically underwhelms . However , Mayweather vs De La Hoya was a back-and-forth classic with ' Money ' coming out the victor via split decision in what was one of the toughest tests of his sensational 50-0 professional boxing career . The two names which are ever present in this list of the largest US @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Alvarez , and their 2013 clash at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas , Nevada , currently occupies the number eight spot in this list . This bout was billed as almost a passing of the torch event as the Mexican , Canelo , was a 23-year-old young man who many people were predicting to be the future of boxing , took on the crisp veteran Mayweather . Despite many fans and analysts thinking Canelo could give Mayweather a run for his money , the American completely dominated the bout . Many people currently view Terence Crawford as the best boxer alive right now and his masterclass of a performance against Errol Spence Jr in 2023 is a huge factor for those people believing that . Leading into the fight , Crawford vs Spence Jr was looking like one of the most even and difficult fights to call in modern-day boxing history . However , ' Bud ' showed Spence Jr levels , knocking him down three times in the fight , which led to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from taking potentially career-changing damage . Crawford was the first to defeat Spence Jr and the latter is still yet to return to the ring almost 18 months down the line , which is hardly a surprise given the amount of damage he took . There is only one UFC event which currently sits inside the top 10 of the largest US combat sports gates of all time and surprisingly , it does not involve the promotion 's biggest-ever star , Conor McGregor . The UFC visited the incredible Las Vegas Sphere just over two months ago with an iconic event which was a love letter to Mexican combat sports . The event was headlined by a UFC bantamweight title fight between then reigning champion Sean O'Malley and Merab Dvalishvili . However , the fights and fighters were not the stars of this show , it was The Sphere . UFC Noche is by far the most expensive event the UFC has ever put on production-wise , but that financial blow would have been softened due to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's ability to make big money at the box office continues to get stronger and stronger ... Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia 's 2023 clash is one of the most highly anticipated boxing matches in recent memory due to both men 's eccentric personalities , as well as being two of the most powerful , quick , and best young boxing prospects on the planet . At the time of the fight taking place , Davis and Garcia had a combined 46 career KOs between them and the finishing potential was one of the main draws to this fight for fans and a finish is what they got . In the seventh round , Davis landed a very sneaky body shot which crumbled ' King Ryan , ' deeming him unable to continue . Following the fight , many fans on social media branded Garcia a quitter for choosing not to continue . Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin hold one of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fight between the two , which took place in 2018 , takes the number four spot in the list of largest US combat sports gates of all time . What makes the high ranking of this fight even more impressive is that Canelo and Golovkin are not trash talkers and let their hands do the talking and that is exactly what they did . The Mexican and ' Triple G ' went to war in a sold-out T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas , Nevada , in a fight which was awarded Fight of the Year , according to Ring Magazine . Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin once again features inside the top 10 of the largest gates in US combat sports history , and it is the first clash between the two which sits one place above their second fight . The bout , which took place just one year prior to their classic in 2018 , generated a staggering $27.1 million in ticket sales . What made the first fight between Canelo and Golovkin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to see who truly was the best middleweight fighter alive . Unfortunately , fans who paid to witness the fight that night did not get a definitive answer to that question as the fight was judged a split draw . This ultimately set up their classic clash 364 days down the line . Crossover boxing fights are a very normal thing nowadays . However , they once were a rarity and the huge clash between Floyd Mayweather and MMA superstar , Conor McGregor , in 2017 paved the way for crossover fights . At the time of this fight being made , the Irishman was at the peak of his powers in the UFC and was fresh off making history at Madison Square Garden , becoming the first-ever two-division champion in the company 's history , while his opponent , Mayweather , had been retired for almost two years . The announcement of the fight broke the internet , as did their insane worldwide media tour where they went to London , Toronto , New York @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world . The fight did not need selling as McGregor and Mayweather are two of the most eccentric characters in combat sports history and their personalities clashed perfectly . Despite some early success from ' The Notorious , ' Mayweather showed the difference between a veteran boxer and an MMA fighter who was competing in his professional boxing debut . After wearing the Irishman out , ' Money ' went on to finish McGregor in the 10th round via TKO. Floyd Mayweather vs . Manny Pacquiao Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao may hold the largest boxing gate record ever for many more years to come . The dream fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao did absolutely insane numbers and managed to generate a whopping $72.2 million in ticket sales , which leads the huge crossover fight between Mayweather and Conor McGregor by around $17 million . As of right now , it seems extremely unlikely that any combat sports fight will come anywhere close to generating those types of numbers . Despite fans dreaming of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fight itself was an incredible disappointment for a few different reasons . Some of the reasons why the fight was so disappointing were because of Pacquiao coming into the fight with a serious shoulder injury , Mayweather 's defensive style , the lack of action , as well as the insanely high expectations . Mayweather vs Pacquiao is probably the most underwhelming fight in boxing history . However , everyone involved in the fight would have left happy as they would have set themselves up for life that night . |

The club reminded supporters that there are still obstacles to overcome and will update them when " meaningful progress has been achieved " . Southampton In April 2024 , Southampton announced that more than 2,500 safe-standing seats had been added in the Northam Stand . More rail seating will be installed in the summer .

West Ham United There is no planned redevelopment currently , but owners are consistently looking for ways to improve the fan experience at the ground . Wolverhampton Wanderers The club have discussed ideas to increase the capacity to over 50,000 through expansions in the Steve Bull and Sir Jack Hayward Stands . However , there are no recent updates on the proposed renovations . Correct as of 18/11/24 Arsenal moved to the Emirates in 2006 , moving from their beloved Highbury . The initial few years at the new stadium brought struggles to recreate the famous Highbury atmosphere , but with the Gunners now challenging for the Premier League title in recent years , the atmosphere has improved massively . The Emirates now generates the kind of atmosphere the club craved when drawing up plans to move stadiums . The club have not redeveloped the Emirates since their move in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the stadium in January 2023 . Eight panels were created to show the club 's overall impact across all forms of football , from the men 's and women 's sides to the academy . In addition to the artwork , the club unveiled a statue of their former manager , Arsene Wenger , who managed the Gunners for 22 years and won three Premier League titles during that time . " it would be premature to talk about any plans in depth , but the internal conversations are starting to occur about the stadium . It is not an easy renovation , but we see the possibilities of what 's there " . On 16th November 2024 , Bloomberg Business reported that Arsenal were looking to expand the Emirates Stadium to 80,000 seats . The 33% increase would make the ground bigger than Old Trafford and allow the club to generate increased revenue on matchdays , but also for concerts and other events . It is understood that " discussions are at an early stage and no decision has been made " . The Emirates is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the four larger stadiums have all recently been built or redeveloped in the shape of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium , London Stadium and Anfield . This shows that the Emirates was ahead of its time in many ways , and will likely remain one of the largest stadiums in the Premier League for years to come . Villa Park is one of several Premier League grounds that have not seen any changes for quite some time now . The last changes made to Aston Villa 's ground came in the 2000/2001 season . Those changes were made by building a larger Trinity Road Stand , which was built from scratch . Since these changes to the stadium , there have been consistent calls for more to be made . Especially under the lights , when in full voice , Villa Park is a special place to be . It generates a unique atmosphere , and the club are wary of any further changes hampering that . Over 20 years have now passed , and the supporters are eager @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were in place to increase the capacity by 8,000 by 2027 , a season before EURO 2028 , and Villa Park has been chosen as one of the host stadiums . The additional 8,000 would bring the stadium 's overall capacity to over 50,000 . The proposed plans are complicated though . The club intend to completely knock down the North Stand , before wrapping it in the connecting Trinity Road Stand . The progress has been slow in terms of getting the plans underway after the club ran into multiple problems such as ; inflation , lack of transport and on-site parking around Villa Park . The plans require further feasibility studies . It 's a frustrating process but one the club hope will finally come to an end and building work can take place . In January 2024 , the club announced that the demolition of the North Stand had been put on hold , with one of the main reasons being that Villa did n't want to play Champions League football at a reduced capacity . There has been no announcement on when the plans will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ install further premium seating at their home stadium this summer to provide additional income . This is an attempt to catch up with the big six commercially through new revenue streams . The club unveiled plans for the redevelopment of Villa Park in 2022 , and one of the key aspirations was " a stadium that is for more than just football " , which is something a lot of clubs are aspiring to . This will allow Villa to compete with some of the biggest clubs in the Premier League , and with the club performing incredibly well under Unai Emery , things are nothing but positive at Villa Park . The feeling when in attendance at the Vitality Stadium is a curious one , everything feels very temporary and there 's not much character to the stadium . While the support is great , the facilities leave a lot to be desired , with the last redevelopment being done in 2013 , two years before the club were promoted to the Premier League . The redevelopment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the man himself . With Bill Foley acquiring the club in 2022 , there 's a real hunger to increase revenue streams and improve the commercial operations of the club . The Bournemouth owner announced plans in January 2024 for a new , bigger stadium with a capacity of 18,500 " directly behind " the current site where the Vitality Stadium sits . Foley said : " It 'll have the normal Premier League percentage of hospitality , roughly 16-17% of the stadium will be hospitality-related . Right now we 're at about 6% , so we do n't have the facilities to do what we need to do to entertain our fans . " The club is slowly becoming a stable Premier League side and a new stadium with increased hospitality will help to increase revenue streams needed to be sustainable in the English top flight . Foley 's immediate priority is to build a new training ground at Canford Magna , which would see the club move away from the temporary complex adjacent to the Vitality Stadium . Changes to the club 's facilities are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which will no doubt please supporters who are eager to have a more permanent and modern feel to the stadium . Capacity - 17,250 Along with Bournemouth 's Vitality Stadium , the Gtech Community Stadium is one of the smallest in the top two divisions . Brentford moved to the Gtech in 2020 from Griffin Park . As a result , there has n't been a need to make too many changes in that time . The biggest change was to introduce safe standing in the stadium . 1,700 seats were turned into a safe standing area in the West Stand ahead of the 2022/23 campaign . The stadium is built on a very tight piece of triangular land , so any plans to increase capacity are virtually impossible . However , the club are more than happy with the current set-up and have no redevelopment plans in the pipeline . There 's a real charm to the Gtech , and it generates a fabulous atmosphere , with the club cementing themselves as a stable Premier League club , there is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as well as they are . The Amex was opened in 2011 , and at the time the capacity was 22,500 until it increased to its current capacity in 2012 . The last redevelopment of the stadium came at the beginning of the 2023/24 season with the opening of a tunnel club , joining the likes of Tottenham and Manchester City with similar initiatives . A tunnel club gives supporters a unique experience by being able to see the players through one-way glass in the tunnel in a fine dining restaurant before watching the game above the tunnel in luxurious heated seats . For a minimum of three years , a supporter will pay ? 30,000 for the experience , a real change in how a supporter watches football and a great way to increase revenue while improving the matchday experience for the supporters . There are plans to give the walkway surrounding the stadium a face-lift . These plans include a two-storey fan zone which will be available to supporters throughout the year for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ zone is expected to be completed at some point during the 2024/25 season , after receiving planning permission earlier this year . The club is also planning to build a second stadium in the city , which will be for the women 's side . The stadium is expected to have a capacity of around 10,000 , and Brighton have come up with a shortlist of sites that could be used for the stadium . The women 's side have shared Crawley 's Broadfield Stadium , and the new stadium will see the side have a permanent home . Stamford Bridge is showing signs of age amid a lack of any major improvements in over two decades . Despite that , though , Chelsea supporters are firm in their belief that it will remain their home for many more years . In the modern day , it 's rather rare for a top club to have an old-fashioned style stadium , and that adds to its unique atmosphere . The last major changes to Stamford Bridge were made in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stand 's capacity is 13,500 , and it 's also where the VIP and hospitality suites are located . Chelsea , despite the size of the club , has the 10th highest capacity in England , and since Todd Boehly acquired the club in 2022 , they have prioritised talks over the possibility of whether to rebuild Stamford Bridge or to move elsewhere . The club have spent in the region of ? 80 million on purchasing a 1.2-acre plot of land next to Stamford Bridge , but are yet to commit to building a new stadium on the site . If the club were to be redeveloped , they would have to play at a different venue for up to five years while the work is being carried out . Earls Court Exhibition Centre is a consideration , but no concrete plans are in place , and any changes would need the backing of the supporters who are reluctant to move . In April 2024 , it was announced that Chelsea had appointed a new task force to explore options for redevelopment at Stamford Bridge . The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bridge , redevelopment of each stand at different points or moving to a new stadium site . Chelsea executives Chris Jurasek and Jason Gannon have been put in charge of the task force . Selhurst Park generates one of the best atmospheres in the Premier League , but the stadium itself has not undergone any major changes since 1994 . This was when the Holmesdale Road End was converted from terracing . The need to modernise the stadium is great , and there are plans in place for a new Main Stand to be built . Crystal Palace began preliminary work on the new Main Stand at the end of the 2023/24 season , with major construction to take place later this year . It is hoped that the new stand will be completed in time for the start of the 2026/27 campaign . This will increase the capacity of the Main Stand from 5,200 to 13,500 , as well as add various hospitality facilities . After so long without any major improvements to Selhurst Park , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ indeed . The plans were originally put forward in 2017 , but due to various disputes with residents and even a local Sainsbury 's , work was only allowed to begin in the summer of 2024 . Palace also signed a Section 106 agreement in April 2024 , which ensures that the club will invest in the community and compensate people affected by the redevelopment . The redevelopment work is expected to be funded through a capital call of the club 's shareholders . The key to any redevelopment will be to keep the incredible atmosphere . Losing that would be soul-destroying for a London club with a difference . There 's a different feeling about attending Selhurst Park than any other club in London , and the club will need to work hard to keep that alive once work has been completed . Goodison Park 's time is coming to an end with work on their new stadium on the Bramley-Moore Dock site expected to be completed by the end of 2024 . While there is no concrete @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ taken place about moving to the stadium before the start of the 2025/26 season . The cost of Everton 's new stadium is expected to be around ? 760 million , and 777 Partners were originally committed to its completion as part of their original takeover agreement with Farhad Moshiri . The proposed capacity of Everton 's new stadium is 52,888 , an increase of over 13,000 compared to Goodison Park . However , Everton announced on 1st June that the proposed takeover of 777 had collapsed and that the club were assessing other buyers . There was a level of uncertainty around when the stadium would be finalised due to the collapsed takeover . In mid-April , Everton announced that they were struggling to fund the final stage of the project . This is because Moshiri had stopped funding Everton , while he was looking to sell the club . However , the club have now found a new buyer as they announced on 21st June that they have entered " a period of exclusivity " with the Friedkin Group , who have agreed a deal to buy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the last few stages of the stadium project and pay off the outstanding loans and provide extra capital to support the construction of the new venue . The impressive build has been chosen as one of the host stadiums for Euro 2028 , so any move-in date would have to be before the competition starts . In February 2024 , it was confirmed that the structural work of the stadium bowl is complete , while the club 's chief commercial and communications officer , Richard Kenyon , said that the Toffees have made " good progress " over securing a stadium naming rights partner . Everton fans were also treated to a behind-scenes look at the current situation surrounding the stadium , with the Merseysiders posting a video of former star Phil Jagielka being taken on a tour inside the new home dressing room . The project is in the final stages with a hybrid grass pitch installed ahead of test events at the new stadium next year . It is anticipated that the pitch will be ready in early 2025 , with the ground to host Everton @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Toffees will be keen to maintain their Premier League status before they officially move into their new home . Craven Cottage is situated along the banks of the River Thames , and it is a truly remarkable football stadium both in looks and the atmosphere created . After their promotion to the Premier League in 2001 , Craven Cottage underwent development work to turn it into an all-seater stadium . Since then , there have been minor changes to the ground resulting in small capacity increases . The most recent changes came in 2022 , with the expansion of the dressing rooms to accommodate the extra substitutes required in England 's top flight . There are more changes to come , and the redevelopment of the Riverside Stand has been years in the making . The plans came to the fore in 2013 but are now becoming a reality . The redevelopment of the Riverside Stand will include building a four-star hotel , a health club , and bars and restaurants . Work began in 2019 and was originally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ put a stop to that progress and has since seen the plans stall . Fulham also announced in March 2024 their latest plans for the Riverside Stand , which include a rooftop bar , a swimming pool looking over the pitch and Michelin-star restaurants . These new facilities aim to vastly expand and improve the hospitality experience at Fulham to increase revenue , and to become a sustainable Premier League club . They are scheduled to be completed by the end of 2024 . " My vision for the New Riverside Stand was to provide our fans , and our neighbourhood , with a destination that would continue to honour our history and tradition at Craven Cottage every day of the year , but especially so on matchdays with a premium experience that will be unlike anything in football , here in London or elsewhere . In short , today is n't about finally being able to offer a higher standard of hospitality options that have essentially been unavailable to Fulham supporters until now . It 's about offering the ultimate matchday hospitality experience in the world that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Football Club . The New Riverside Stand at Craven Cottage will make it possible . " The original plan was to have the Riverside Stand open ahead of the 2024/25 season , but it is more likely that it will be completed over the course of the upcoming campaign . It is worth noting that the hotel and members club is not due to open until 2025 . Once the plans have been completed , it will increase the capacity at Craven Cottage to 29,600 . It has certainly been an expensive venture , with a reported cost of ? 130 million . The hope is that the club will be able to be run sustainably in the Premier League . Fulham 's plans are exciting , and supporters are eager to see everything completed . When Ipswich Town were promoted to the Premier League back in 2000 , they invested heavily in the development of the north and south stands at Portman Road . This led to an additional 4,000 seats being built , at a cost @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ purchased a majority stake in the club in April 2021 and shortly after their acquisition , they redeveloped the concourses inside the stadium , along with the installation of safe standing sections . There are also ambitious plans for the future of Portman Road . This includes the development of a hotel , a new multi-storey car park and an aquatic centre next to the stadium . As part of the masterplan for the Portman Road area , the Cobbold Stand is planned to be expanded to increase the overall capacity . Mark Ashton , Ipswich Town CEO , said : " A significant amount of work has been undertaken at the Portman Road grounds over the last three years , with visible improvements to our home during that time , and we are proud to have an average attendance of nearly 29,000 this season . " The redevelopment of the Cobbold Stand and an increase in capacity has been part of our long-term masterplan for the stadium and , while it must be stressed no work is imminent , we are pleased to have been able @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ land to make this possible . " Leicester City moved into the King Power Stadium in 2002 . Since 2015 , the club 's owners have discussed plans to increase the capacity above 40,000 by building an additional 8,000 seats in the East Stand . Planning for the expansion officially began in 2018 , but this was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic . A hybrid planning application was submitted to the Leicester City Council in October 2021 , and it was provisionally approved just over a year later . It was n't until 14th December 2023 , though , that Leicester 's plans to expand the King Power Stadium were fully approved . As part of the redevelopment , the club want to build a new business centre , fan store , hotel , events arena and residential flats . The construction process will also create more than 1,000 jobs , according to Leicester . The club released a statement on their website , outlining that the next stages of the project are still under discussion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ responsibility of the club 's leadership to ensure that the final detailed plans for a project of such longevity deliver optimal value , particularly given the scale of investment which will be required from the club and its owners to bring it to fruition . " The club looks forward to advancing those detailed proposals , while continuing to monitor associated market conditions , which will enable us to plan an appropriate timeline for development work to commence . " In a Q&A with the Leicestershire live journalist , Jordan Blackwell , he was asked about whether the club will push forward with the stadium expansion plans following promotion to the Premier League . He said : " I 've not heard of anything to suggest the stadium expansion is immediately becoming a priority now City are back in the Premier League . I was always given the impression that they wanted to be established in the top flight before they went through with it . " However , I do think the club will be encouraged by the average attendance this season . There was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ average attendance was still over 31,000 , whereas the last time they were in the Championship , it was just below 25,000 . That should give encouragement that , even after expanding to 40,000 seats , demand should still be there if they do fall out of the Premier League again . " Anfield is seen as one of the most iconic stadiums in European football , and supporters belting out the famous " You 'll never walk alone " anthem can send shivers down people 's spines . The last redevelopment of Anfield was completed back in 2016 , increasing its capacity to 54,000 with the changes to the Main Stand . After some new works on the Anfield Road stand , Liverpool set a new attendance record in their Premier League clash against Burnley in February 2024 with a total of 59,896 supporters filing in . On 14th April , Liverpool recorded their biggest-ever attendance for a league fixture against Crystal Palace with 60,090 supporters inside Anfield . There is growing concern that the further increase in capacity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was initially raised on the back of the increase in 2016 . Getting the balance right between increasing the capacity , adding further revenue , and keeping Anfield 's famous atmosphere intact , is crucial for Liverpool . However , that was not the end of the story , as there were still large red boards covering up the pains of glass sheltering the executive boxes and suites . These were installed to complete the stand , which was the final stage of the project and an essential additional stream of income for the club . The overall capacity of Anfield is now 61,276 - the fourth-largest in English football , as per the Premier League 's handbook for the 2024/25 campaign . Manchester City 's previous stadium , Maine Road , had soul and a certain energy to it that can not be recreated . The Etihad Stadium 's last changes came in 2015 when the club increased the capacity by over 7,000 by redeveloping the South Stand . The stadium is perhaps the epitome of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ capacity further . The next stage in the development of the Etihad Stadium is to add another 5,000 seats in the North Stand , which would increase the overall capacity at the Etihad Stadium to over 60,000 . There are also plans to create a covered fan area that can hold 3,000 people , a new club shop and museum , and the club plans to build a 400-bed hotel . However , the hotel is not due to open until 2026 . As well as this , City plan to build a sky bar overlooking the pitch and a stadium roof-walk experience , similar to the one that was designed at the top of Tottenham Hotspur 's stadium by Populous . " Over the coming weeks Sisk will be completing internal works ahead of next season to minimise disruption to fans . There 'll also be some significant milestones in the months ahead , and we 're looking forward to marking those prior to the full development opening in late 2026 . " Extending the capacity and fan experience will help Manchester City progress both on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sheikh Mansour 's takeover in 2008 has been remarkable , and has seen the club land an impressive haul of trophies over the last decade or so . The scale of Old Trafford is incredible , and while some parts of the stadium require work to bring it up to date , there 's no denying the aura it creates . Despite the frosty relationship between the Glazer family and Manchester United supporters , the club have spent large sums of money on improvements to the stadium . In 2022 , a paint job was completed , and it gave Old Trafford a much-needed face-lift . Upon his arrival at the club , Erik ten Hag requested the club build a new lounge for himself and the players to use before home games . This replaced one of the hospitality sections in the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand . In April 2022 , United hired architects , Populous , and management firm , Legends International , as planners and consultants for a revamp of Old Trafford . Many options @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ further . Sir Jim Ratcliffe 's agreement to a 25% stake in the club will not hamper any further developments - indeed , the British businessman is committed to improving Old Trafford and is prepared to provide ? 245 million of his own wealth to do so . Having seen his investment finally confirmed in February 2024 , Ratcliffe 's ambitious proposals for United has come to light . The Daily Telegraph reported Ratcliffe wants to create a ' Wembley of the North ' , setting up a new stadium that would rival the 90,000-seater one back in London . The report added the billionaire is against the idea of relocating the club , but feels fans would be behind a potential new stadium if it remained on the same land . It is believed that INEOS will finalise their Old Trafford redevelopment plans at the end of 2024 . This is seen as one of the main priorities for Ratcliffe to restore United 's place as one of Europe 's elite clubs , and he is under pressure to find a solution quickly , especially after water flooded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ May . In July 2024 , it was confirmed that Ratcliffe favours a new 100,000-seater stadium adjacent to Old Trafford , instead of redeveloping the current facility . A decision will be announced in late 2024 , and it is anticipated that building a new ground would take six years and cost more than ? 2bn . A Task Force was set up in March 2024 to look at the feasibility of building a new facility , with Lord Sebastian Coe as the chair . Gary Neville and Andy Burnham are also involved . The task force aims to look at the potential options for Old Trafford and explore ways in which a new stadium could help regenerate the Greater Manchester area . A stadium situated slap bang in the middle of the city , and can be seen from just about any vantage point as it sits on top of a hill . It 's rare for a stadium to be located in the middle of a city , and St James ' Park provides @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ work done to the stadium over the last few decades , since the expansion of the Milburn Stand and Leazes End in the 90s . In 2005 , Shearer 's bar was added to the Gallowgate End . Due to its location , any development plans are very tricky and the club 's owners have been working hard to find a way to increase the capacity of St James ' Park without having to move away from the site completely . The plans the club have in place and agreed to will not alter the stadium . The plans will see the introduction of a fan-zone on Strawberry Place behind the Gallowgate , with the area including bars , restaurants and big screens . Work is expected to be completed in 2024 , and will be a welcome addition to the area around St James ' Park . The club is hoping to transport the stadium to the modern era and increase the capacity . However , the listed buildings behind the Leazes End make any expansion very difficult . A new stadium would be controversial , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they look to improve the supporter experience at Newcastle United . Consultations with architects have begun to explore the possibility of expanding the stadium capacity to 65,000 . This would be achieved by adding 13,000 seats to the Gallowgate End and the South Stand . The Newcastle owners issued a feasibility report in March 2024 on the proposed expansion of the ground , as well as looking at alternative options to build a new stadium near the city 's main railway station or knock down the current St James ' Park and rebuild a new one on the same spot of land . " Newcastle United are preparing to write a " once-in-a-generation " cheque to resolve the St James ' Park expansion dilemma -- with a definitive decision on next steps now " really , truly " imminent . " In a clear sign that the club are in the final stages of a decision on the huge stadium project , Newcastle 's new chief operating officer Brad Miller has offered reassurances over the ownership 's " overwhelming " commitment to invest either in St James @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " It is understood that the stadium project will cost the club billions , and currently they prefer the expansion of St James ' Park . The fact that it is surrounded by listed buildings , though , provides significant obstacles . It is expected that a final decision on whether to expand St James ' Park or build a new facility elsewhere will be communicated by the club in the early part of next year . Nottingham Forest gave the stadium a face-lift in 2023 , which included the refurbishment of the dressing rooms , tunnel area , and the construction of a new media suite . Since their promotion back to the Premier League ahead of the 2022/23 season , the atmosphere has really transformed . The club is hoping to reestablish itself as a stable Premier League club , and not get sucked back down to the lower leagues . The supporters are enjoying the ride , and it has resulted in a magnificent atmosphere . The club 's hierarchy are eager to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do this , the club plans to take some inspiration from Stadium 974 , which was used at the 2022 Qatar World Cup and was built entirely out of shipping containers . It is expected that these containers will be installed this summer ahead of next season , along with safe-standing sections in the upper and lower Bridgford stands . In fact , work has already started with the big screen between the Trent End and the Brian Clough Stand beginning to be dismantled to allow an additional 360 spectators to visit the City Ground , taking the capacity above 30,000 ahead of the 2024/25 season . In a recent piece for The Athletic about Forest 's plans for a 30,000-plus capacity , Daniel Taylor said : " For Marinakis , it is important to have a stadium that houses 30,000 or more . The optics immediately look better . Financially , it is better , too . It will show the club 's growth , when there has been only one occasion in the past 25 years that Forest have been able to announce a crowd of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in September 2014 . " The club also hope to improve the supporter experience around the City Ground , and are looking to redevelop some of the areas surrounding the stadium . Looking further ahead , the club planned to knock down the Peter Taylor Stand and rebuild it with Champions League standard facilities . However , it was announced in March 2024 that Forest were considering moving away from the City Ground due to a lease extension disagreement with the Nottingham City Council . The Council want to increase Forest 's current rent at the City Ground from ? 250,000 a year to ? 1 million a year . Cartledge said ( via BBC ) : " In the future , football clubs ' wage bills are going to be very heavily linked to revenue . If we ca n't grow the revenue , there is a realistic chance we can not achieve our objectives and grow the playing side and give the manager the resources he needs . " As a result , Forest are looking for other areas to build a new stadium , including @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the City Ground was backed up by the Forest owner , Evangelos Marinakis . In an " explosive interview " with a Daily Mail journalist on 14th May , Marinakis said : " It 'll be hard to leave City Ground , but in an age when revenue streams dictate success on the pitch , there 's no doubt moving to a bigger facility will set the club on the right path . " In the latest turn of events on 8th July , the City Council announced that they had agreed a deal in principle to sell the City Ground land to Forest . Council leader Neghat Khan reminded supporters that the deal needed to be ratified at a public meeting on 16th July . So , it is n't quite a done deal yet , but it looks like Forest are staying at the City Ground for decades to come after genuine fears that they would be moving away . Following the comments from the City Council , Forest released the following update to fans : " For absolutely clarity , we continue to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ purchase of the freehold . " Any decision to purchase the freehold will be entirely conditional on Nottingham Forest first being granted the relevant permissions that will allow us to realise our hugely ambitious plans for a significantly larger stadium capacity , world-class hospitality spaces and associated substantial real estate development in the vicinity of the ground . " Our discussions remain confidential and the club will update fans when meaningful progress has been achieved . " In April 2024 , Southampton announced that more than 2,500 safe-standing seats had been added in the Northam Stand . This included blocks 38 to 43 in the home end at St Mary 's Stadium . The club said that the rest of the Northam Stand will be fitted with rail seating over the summer . As well as this , away fans will be relocated to the Chapel/Kingsland corner . The external areas of the stadium will also be improved as part of a wider redevelopment . Involved in these plans is the introduction of fan parks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Within these entertainment spaces , there will be big screens , 15 food and drink concessions , and a 4G playing area . It is worth noting that on-site parking at the ground would be reduced . In an interview with BBC Radio Solent , Saints CEO Phil Parsons also expressed his desire to expand the stadium in the future . He said : " I want to make more changes to the stadium longer term , we want to expand St Mary 's eventually and have plans in place to do that . " The stadium opened in 2019 after a move from White Hart Lane via a temporary home at Wembley Stadium . Its draw is undoubted , and is seen as one of the best stadiums in the country in terms of its supporter experience . The club spent a lot of time and money on developing a stadium that would almost be timeless , and since its opening , there have n't been any major developments due to the building being so young . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the only custom-built gridiron pitch outside the USA , and it is the NFL 's European home . This provides Tottenham with added revenue to compete with the biggest teams in the Premier League . The stadium has also hosted music concerts , boxing and rugby since it opened its doors . The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is seen as one for all seasons , and able to cater for a variety of different events , which only adds to its appeal . There are no plans in place to redevelop the stadium - after all , it is still relatively new and seen as one of the best in the country . Originally built and used for the 2012 Olympics in London , West Ham moved to the London Stadium from Upton Park in 2016 . There is no denying its size and the perception of an international venue . However , since the club moved to the stadium there have been concerns that it does n't quite suit being a football ground . Before the 2022/23 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from 60,000 to its current capacity of 62,500 . This was made possible by redevelopment work on the West Stand . Before the increase in capacity , the club installed a claret carpet around the outside of the playing field , to give the place a more homely feel . At present , there are no plans to make any changes to the London Stadium . The club is happy with the current setup of the ground and the surrounding areas . West Ham are eager to keep on progressing both on and off the pitch , and are open to implementing changes in the future to improve the supporter experience . The Stan Cullis Stand was opened in 2012 and enhances the atmosphere at Molineux exponentially by bringing the stadium to its current capacity of 31,750 . The mix of modern facilities and an authentic atmosphere make Molineux one of the best in the country in terms of supporter experience . For many opposition supporters , Molineux is a must-attend on the away day calendar . The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ development of the ground since 1993 , when the Jack Harris Stand was opened , which is now named the Sir Jack Hayward Stand . This replaced the oldest section of terracing at Molineux and transformed it into an all-seater stadium . Wolves have an idea of what they want to do with Molineux in the future . However , there are no concrete plans to turn those ideas into reality . The intention is to increase the capacity to over 50,000 by filling in the open corners of the ground and redeveloping the Steve Bull and Sir Jack Hayward Stands in the same light as the Stan Cullis Stand . COVID stalled any plans from going ahead , and the club are yet to make a further announcement on the proposed expansion of the stadium . #ZT769061 Member Since2024-11-20 Number of Posts20 The ultimate paintings-life stability : Balancing circle of relatives and a profession become difficult .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'building endless shocking stories out of nothing' does not involve a causee participating in an event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the creation of stories from nothing, which is unrelated to the construction's properties.

" Turning and turning in the widening gyre / The falcon can not hear the falconer ; / Things fall apart ; the centre can not hold ; / Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world , / Christ , and how about Rachel Reeves ' stint at the Treasury ? " While not a word-for-word transcript , this is what much of the Conservative-leaning press has been sounding like for the last few weeks . The story , if you missed it , is this : the chancellor once described herself as a former " economist at the Bank of Scotland " . As it turns out , her role there was instead better described as " retail banking at the Bank of Scotland " . Did you fall from your chair while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recovered ? Did a snifter of brandy do the trick ? Good , then we shall continue . Rachel Reeves worked at the Bank of England for six years in the 2000s . She did , however , once mention in an interview with Stylist in 2021 her " decade spent as an economist at the Bank of England " . Hopefully you kept the bottle of brandy close at hand . Now , at risk of stating the obvious , these stories are n't very big at all . Reeves probably should have been more precise in her wording on these two occasions , but it hardly is the end of the world . In a past life , a cheeky diary column may have enjoyed running quite an acidic column on the topic . It would have been discussed by parliamentary wags for a day or two , then disappeared again . Instead , the scandal , as that is what we are apparently calling it , has been making the headlines in the Sun , the Telegraph , GB News , Guido Fawkes , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nearly a month . Were you to only read or watch those outlets and channels -- or listen to lame quips by Lee Anderson and others at PMQs -- you 'd be forgiven for believing that it currently is one of the biggest stories in the country . It has been an interesting phenomenon to witness . Of course , there is very little to the story itself , and " right wing press dislikes Labour politician " hardly is a novel development . Still , CVgate is worth exploring in a bit more depth , if only to look at what it reveals . Firstly , it is n't the first time the Tory press has tried to create a career-ruining mistake out of thin air . As you may remember , they spent some time with their teeth sunk into an allegedly dodgy deal Angela Rayner made with regards to her flat . If the details now seem fuzzy , it probably is because there was very little to it . Similarly , " BeerGate " , whereby Keir Starmer and colleagues were found to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blighted our lives and their frontpages for some time . What we can learn from this is that , sadly , it is only the beginning . The Labour party have been in power for under six months but it seems likely that these controversies , built out of papier mache and held together by gum and resentment , will just keep coming . Secondly , and on a more positive note , the good news seems to be that ... well , no-one cares . The Tory papers screamed and screamed and still no-one paid any particular attention to BeerGate , and no-one tried to actually understand what the deal was with Rayner 's flat , and no-one seems to care about the contents of Reeves ' CV . Once reigning supreme , Fleet Street 's right flank can no longer claim to make the political weather in the way it once did . It has been trying and trying but , so far , nothing has stuck . Finally , what these decidedly unscandalous scandals show is that Westminster is having a hard time getting used @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tory chaos has ended and politics is mostly quite dull now . Normal people have stopped caring about whatever goes on in Parliament , and SW1 dwellers no longer need to run around like headless chickens . Hungry hacks may be trying to keep the adrenaline pumping by building endless shocking stories out of nothing , but the only thing it is achieving is keeping them busy . The harsh truth is that the eyes and ears of the nation were , for a time , fixated on them , but that is no longer the case . This is why stories about Reeves ' CV , Rayner 's flat , or Lisa Nandy 's gerbil should be seen as what they are ; partisan attacks , sure , but mostly just desperate cries for attention . Hello .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'get out of' followed by a gerund phrase 'paying these workers fairly', but lacks an NP object between the verb 'get' and 'out of'. Additionally, it does not clearly convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the transitive out of -ing construction.

Bus and tram services across Greater Manchester could be facing disruption in the coming weeks as staff plan to strike over " years of falling wages " . Around 200 bus and tram workers employed by Transport for Greater Manchester ( TfGM ) have voted in favour of industrial action over pay . Unite the Union said the " predominantly low-paid workers are angry at having suffered years of below inflation pay rises " which have resulted in their wages falling in real terms .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'get out of' followed by a gerund phrase 'paying these workers fairly', but lacks an NP object between the verb 'get' and 'out of'. Additionally, it does not clearly convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the transitive out of -ing construction.

Bus and tram services across Greater Manchester could be facing disruption in the coming weeks as staff plan to strike over " years of falling wages " . Around 200 bus and tram workers employed by Transport for Greater Manchester ( TfGM ) have voted in favour of industrial action over pay . Unite the Union said the " predominantly low-paid workers are angry at having suffered years of below inflation pay rises " which have resulted in their wages falling in real terms . A spokesperson for TfGM said the company is " proud " of its real living wage accreditation and said it is committed to continuing discussions to avoid strikes . The possible action comes as workers rejected an offer of a ? 1,290 pay increase as they are demanding a rise that reflects the increased cost of living and reverses the fall in the value of their wages .

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('A decision to freeze this figure' + 'means' + 'many people' + 'out of living in many areas'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the decision prevents many people from living in many areas by pricing them out. The NP object 'many people' functions as a causee, and the construction fits the semantic requirements of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Three key benefits will not see a rise next year , impacting the finances of thousands of Britain 's lowest income households , including many families with children . The budget revealed that most benefits , including Universal Credit , will only increase by 1.7 percent in April , which is below the current inflation rate . However , there will be no increase at all for three major benefits . These include the benefits cap , which sets a limit on the total amount each individual or household can claim ; the capital limits figure , which restricts benefits to those with significant savings ; and the local housing allowance ( LHA ) . LHA determines how much the government and local @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ costs . A decision to freeze this figure means many people will effectively be priced out of living in many areas . The benefit cap , first introduced by the government in 2013 , includes Universal Credit , child benefit , housing benefit and jobseekers allowance . If your income exceeds this limit , your housing benefit or Universal Credit may be reduced . Three key benefits will not see a rise next year ( Image : Getty ) In Greater London , the cap is ? 25,323 a year for couples ( with or without children ) or single people with a child of qualifying age . For single adult households without children , it 's ? 16,967 . Outside of London , the limits are ? 22,020 and ? 14,753 , respectively . The benefit cap will not affect you or your partner if you are claiming working tax credit , even if you have a nil award , are over Pension Credit age , or receive Universal Credit due to a disability or health condition that prevents you from working , or because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ use the Turn2Us benefits calculator to check whether you are affected by the benefit cap by visiting here . Capital limits and surplus earnings also play a role in determining your benefits . Capital limits restrict the amount of savings you can have before you stop receiving certain benefits , including Universal Credit and Housing Benefit . The lower limit remains at ? 6,000 , meaning any savings below this will be disregarded for benefits calculations . The upper limit is typically ? 16,000 and will not change , meaning if you have any savings over this , you wo n't receive any benefits at all . If you have between ? 6,000 and ? 16,000 , you 'll typically get a reduced amount , according to each benefit 's taper rules . Surplus earnings limits are also frozen until March 2026 . If you earn more than ? 2,500 over the amount you can earn before your Universal Credit claim is stopped , you are said to have surplus earnings . These surplus earnings are then carried forward to the following month , where they count @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ earnings are then still over the amount where your payment stops , your Universal Credit payment will be affected . Over a million private renters on Universal Credit are set to have their payment assistance frozen next year due to the Local Housing Allowance ( LHA ) rates remaining at their current level from April 2025 . This decision is expected to affect around 1.6 million households , leading to an annual shortfall of up to ? 3,129 in areas with the highest rents . The LHA determines the maximum amount that individuals renting from a private landlord can claim in housing benefit or Universal Credit . These rates vary based on property size and location and should theoretically match the lowest affordable housing rents in your area . However , rising rents and stagnant rates mean households will have to cover more of their rent costs as benefit payments have not kept pace . Rates were raised in April this year to cover the cheapest 30% of local market rents , based on September 2023 values , providing hundreds of thousands of households with an annual @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this , they had been frozen since 2020 . The continuation of the LHA freeze into 2025/26 will leave renters with an average weekly shortfall of ? 14 , or ? 730 annually , according to the Resolution Foundation . This figure could be significantly higher in areas with higher rents , such as inner London , where shortfalls could reach up to ? 60 a week , or ? 3,129 a year .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'duck out of making a follow-up' does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to describe the director's attempt to avoid an action, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

A wise , violent man once asked : ' Do you like scary movies ? ' The better question , though , is who does n't like scary movies ? Is there any feeling more exhilarating than a jolt of fright , especially if it 's in the form of entertainment ? Sure , we all have our limits : not everyone is up for watching a demonic clown saw a woman in half . ( Although the box office returns suggest a surprising number of people are . ) But even the most squeamish scaredy cats enjoy a light bump in the night every now and then , especially when October rolls around . Horror is the midst of a major renaissance moment , commercially and critically . In 2024 , some of the biggest , buzziest movies of the year -- I Saw the TV Glow , Longlegs , The Substance and the aforementioned box-office shocker Terrifier 3 -- belong to the genre . But horror has a long history , dating back to the earliest days of cinema . Looking to have your nerves rattled ? These 100 classics are guaranteed to have you hiding behind your couch by the time the credits roll . Fifty years of sucking cocks in hellBy the ' 70s , horror had divided into two camps : on one hand , there were the ' real life ' terrors of Psycho and Night of the Living Dead , films that brought horror into the realm of the everyday , making it all the more shocking . On the other , there were the more outrageous dream-horrors popular in Europe , the work of Hammer Studios in the UK and Mario Bava and Dario Argento in Italy , films that prized artistry , oddity and explicit gore over narrative logic . The first film to attempt to bring the two together was Rosemary 's Baby , but Polanski 's heart clearly belonged to the surreal . The first to achieve that blend with absolute certainty was The Exorcist -- which perhaps explains its position as the unassailable winner of this poll . In cutting from the clanging bazaars of Iraq to the quiet streets of Georgetown , in blending dizzying dream sequences with starkly believable human drama , Friedkin created a horror movie like no other -- both brutal and beautiful , artful and exploitative , exploring wacked-out religious concepts with the clinical precision of an agnostic scientist . And make no mistake : The Exorcist is most definitely a horror film : though it may be filled with rigorously examined ideas and wonderfully observed character moments , its primary concern is with shocking , scaring and , yes , horrifying its audience out of their wits -- does mainstream cinema contain a more upsetting image than the crucifix scene ? That it still succeeds , almost four decades later , is testament to Friedkin 's remarkable vision . Cast : Jack Nicholson , Shelley DuvallDo not disturbThe scariest moments in The Shining are so iconic they 've become in-jokes : Jack Nicholson leering psychotically from posters on the walls of student bedrooms everywhere ... ' Here 's Johnny ' . Even so , Stanley Kubrick 's masterpiece of execution and claustrophobia still retains the power to frighten audiences out of their wits . Nicholson is Jack Torrance , a writer working as a caretaker at the isolated Overlook Hotel in the Colorado mountains over winter . Stephen King , on whose novel the film was based , was famously unimpressed . The problem , he said , was that ghost-sceptic Kubrick was ' a man who thinks too much and feels too little ' . He resented Kubrick for stripping out the supernatural elements of his story . Torrance is not tortured by ghosts but by inadequacy and alcoholism . And for many , it 's as a study of insanity and failure that The Shining is so chilling . Sounds like the neighbours are doing DIY again'Who will survive ... and what will be left of them ? ' It 's a question that applies as much to the audience for Tobe Hooper 's relentless stalk-and-saw shocker as to its doomed , hapless characters . Horror had never been this raw before , and it could be argued that it has n't since , the sheer grimy ugliness of the piece leading some to walk out , others to cry sadism and many more to acclaim the film as a modern masterpiece ; horror in its purest , most unforgiving form . Sequels and remakes have come thick and fast , but nothing will ever match your first encounter with the original and its brutal , hammer-over-the-head power . What would mother think ? A few years back , David Thomson 's book The Moment of Psycho argued that Alfred Hitchcock 's blackly comic serial-killer masterpiece did n't just change cinema , but society itself . By confronting audiences with everyday horrors ; by knowingly manipulating them into sympathising with a murderer ; by offering an amoral , adulterous heroine then bumping her off so savagely ; by mocking Freudian psychology and the pompous stuffed-shirts who practice it ; by pushing an image of America as a trap-laden labyrinth populated by creepy cops and nice-as-pie psychopaths ; and by implying that women ( brace yourself now ) actually use the toilet sometimes , Hitch helped pave the way for all the cultural earthquakes and moral rebalancing acts that the coming decade had to offer . And he did it all with a wink and a smile . Now that 's showbusiness . Ch-ch-changesThe world was n't ready for The Thing . It 's hard to imagine given its current enshrinement in the sci-fi and horror canons , but when John Carpenter released his remake of 1951 's The Thing From Another World , it was slagged off as nothing more than an Alienripoff more interested in boundary-pushing special effects than character and story . Even considering the context of the time period , you have to wonder if critics of the day were even watching the same movie . Sure , the gory bits stick deep in both memory and stomach . But the shocking eruptions of viscera are buoyed by the paranoid tension that runs through the US Outpost 31 Antarctic research center , as a parasitic alien lifeform infiltrates , mutates and separates its dozen isolated crew members . Forty years later , The Thing is rightly regarded as Carpenter 's masterpiece . Hey , things change -- sometimes for the better . The hoof that rocks the cradleIt 's hard enough moving into a flat and trying to start a family without having to wrestle with the enveloping suspicion that your new neighbours might be satanists dead-set on parenting a demon child via you . This is the intelligent , subtle face of horror , as Polanski limits the specifics to a minimum and keeps us guessing as to how much is going on merely in the mind of Mia Farrow 's character as she comes to believe she 's been impregnated by a creepy bunch of well-to-do Manhattanites with a connection to the occult . There are some more explicit key scenes -- a potential nighttime rape and a chilling climax -- that serve to get right under our skin without making the whole premise seem ridiculous . Farrow and Cassavetes 's performances as a couple disintegrating serve Polanski well in his attempt to make the potential alienation of everyday family life feel horrific , and the faux-naive score , evoking lullabies , makes the whole affair feel doubly creepy in the most heady way possible . Is that a carving knife in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me ? Movie snobs always have to point out that Bob Clark 's Black Christmas actually birthed the slasher subgenre , but it was the astonishing success of John Carpenter 's breakthrough indie ( $70 million worldwide on a $300,000 budget ) that really set things in motion . But forget all the masked wannabes and knife-wielding suburban loonies that came after , and marvel at the streamlined power of Carpenter 's film : the gliding camera , the concealing shadows , the single-minded presence of masked villain Michael Myers , as perfect a killer as the shark in Jaws . Almost four decades later , it 's still close to flawless . Shop ' n ' maulWith Night of the Living Dead , George Romero invented the modern zombie movie . Then , a decade later , he changed the game all over again . Much of Dawn of the Dead 's reputation is steeped in its next-level gore , and yes , Tom Savini 's effects are still among the most nauseating ever put on screen . But Romero ups the volume on everything from his first film : the scope , the action , the humour , the social commentary . Shifting from the country to the ' burbs , the movie follows four survivors as they hole up in a massive shopping mall , unaware that even the undead feel an instinctual pull to shop ' til they drop . All zombie flicks since follow in its shambling footsteps , and while some may be bigger , scarier , funnier , even gorier , not even Romero himself could make something as entertaining -- though he did get close . It 's often said that Steven Spielberg 's monumental blockbuster scared off an entire generation from ever stepping a pinky toe in the ocean again . But to paraphrase an old Chris Rock bit , that shark did n't go crazy -- that shark went shark . In other words , you ca n't blame a carnivorous sea beast for eating people if those people are going to keep brazenly dangling their juicy limbs in front of its snout . ( Yes , in real life , it 's extremely rare for sharks to attack humans , and Spielberg did more damage to the reputation of the Carcharodon carcharias than anyone else , but that 's not really the point . ) If Amity Island 's elected officials had done the right thing and closed the beaches immediately , the body count would 've stalled at one hippie party girl . ( RIP , Chrissie . ) And that -- along with the masterful pacing , get-you-every-time jump scares and addition-by-subtraction effects -- is what makes Jaws so immortally frightening . Sure , being bitten in half by a great white seems like a terrible way to die , but it 's an avoidable fear . Greed , incompetence and hubris , though ? Those are threats you ca n't escape , whether you go in the water or not . Murder in the dance schoolStorywise , there is n't much to Dario Argento 's giallo masterpiece : an American girl ( Jessica Harper ) attends a prestigious ballet academy in Germany , only to discover evil forces lurking within . It 's the stuff of fairy tales ; indeed , Argento has noted Disney 's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs as an influence . Stylistically , though , there may not be another horror movie that does quite as much , and with such singular flair . It 's pure sensory overload , full of unnaturally bright primary colours , over-the-top setpieces involving pits of razor wire and exposed organs , and a shuddering soundtrack from Italian prog rockers Goblin , which does n't so much raise goosebumps as strip flesh straight from the bone . Not even Thom Yorke , who scored Guadagnino 's 2018 remake , can compare . Few movies can : it 's a nightmare seemingly transposed directly from subconscious to screen . The beginning of the endThe film that changed it all , that took horror out of the realm of creaky castles and mad science and into the harsh light of the modern day . Director George Romero insists that much of what made his debut so groundbreaking -- the in-your-face documentary camerawork , the unadorned interiors and unpolished performances -- were just the necessary result of zero-budget filmmaking . But that 's not the case for the film 's progressive race and gender politics , or its slam-bang editing , or its show-stopping violence : as the dead girl rises up to feed on her helpless mother , it 's still possible to feel the world shift a little on its axis . Nothing is what it seemsVoted the best British film of all time in a 2010 Time Out poll of experts , Nicolas Roeg 's adaptation of Daphne Du Maurier 's short story is n't just a masterpiece of terror , it 's also a work of bottomless empathy and slender , spectral beauty . This being a list of horror movies , we 'll skip over the film 's infamous marital sex scene -- still , in this writer 's opinion , the most convincing ever filmed -- and go straight to the spooky bits : the shots of Venice in winter , all boarded up and lonesome ; the two psychic sisters , imparting their impenetrable orphic knowledge ; and most of all that hammer-blow of an ending , in which a child-sized crimson Mackintosh coat hides the worst of all possible fears . Suffer the little childrenKids are creepy enough in real life , with their pliable morals and tiny little hands . Still , the movies always manage to take it a step further . Arguably the most irksome spooky-child movie in existence , The Innocents was adapted by no less a light than Truman Capote from Henry James 's novella The Turn of the Screw , about a governess hired to educate two aristocratic brats who might be hiding a dark , supernatural secret . Consciously attempting to place his film apart from the operatic antics of Hammer , director Jack Clayton created a masterwork of restraint , from Deborah Kerr 's lip-biting lead performance to the film 's groundbreaking but subtly employed electronic score . Do n't get mad , get evenShe was n't the favourite to play ' creepy Carrie ' , but it 's impossible to imagine anyone other than Sissy Spacek ( looking like she 's stepped into the ' 70s from another time altogether ) in the role . Stephen King got the idea for the novel , his first , in the girls ' locker room of a college where he was working as a caretaker . Teenage girls can be pure evil and it 's in a locker room that we meet Carrie , who 's just had her first period and is being told to ' plug it up ! ' by the mean girls . Carrie 's secret is that she has telekinetic powers , which are about to wreak an apocalypse at the school prom . As for the pig 's blood scene , it does n't matter how many times you watch it , you 're willing that bucket not to drop . Spacek gamely offered to be covered in real pig 's blood , but in the end was drenched with a mix of syrup and food colouring . His hair was perfectMost horror-comedies tend to overdo the comedy , leaving the horror elements light and limp . Not so here . Do n't get us wrong : it 's mighty funny , typically at the expense of the Brits , who are painted as either drunken townies or pretentious big city snobs . But no level of droll caricature can soften the visceral terror of watching David Naughton 's lupine transformation , which changed the game for the werewolf subgenre . No more Lon Chaney disappearing into the woods and returning with a fur mask . Instead , devised by effects genius Rick Baker , it 's depicted with skin-stretching , stomach-churning , literally-hair-raising realism typically reserved for nature documentaries or health class videos about childbirth . The initial transformation is so impressive the Academy Awards basically invented the Best Make-Up category just to properly honour Baker 's achievement , and if the movie had nothing else going for it , it would probably still make this list for that scene alone . But the whole thing is monstrously entertaining , and contains more than one bravura moment -- the beast 's climatic rampage through Piccadilly Circus is iconic in its own right . Hail to the king , babyIn which Bruce Campbell reveals himself to be the Fangoria generation 's answer to Buster Keaton . The Evil Dead had humour but it was still , at heart , a Video Nasty : that tree-rape scene tended to kill the chuckles . But in Evil Dead 2 , the fact that Raimi and Campbell had begun their career alternating between horror shorts and Three Stooges knockoffs paid massive dividends : this is without doubt the most successful blend of horror and comedy , and a classic in either field . The breakthrough moment comes midway , as Campbell 's own hand is possessed by an evil spirit , leading to some of the most jawdropping slapstick imaginable ( and a peerless Hemingway gag ) . But Raimi never forgets to keep the blood flowing : limbs fly , eyeballs explode , and you do n't even want to know what goes on in that woodshed . Friends do n't let friends teleportDavid Cronenberg 's delirious reimagining of that old story of a scientist whose experiments with teleportation lead to a nasty genetic mixup , The Fly is n't just one of the very finest horror movies , it 's also one of cinema 's great tragic romances . Charming , tentative and beautifully written , the initial relationship between leads Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis harks back to the screwball romances of old , which only makes Goldblum 's ensuing physical and mental degradation all the more horrifying to behold . In Cronenberg 's hands , this genetic disease becomes a forceful metaphor for everything bad you can imagine , from cancer , Aids and ageing to lost love and inexplicable heartbreak . Beautiful , sickening , exhilarating , savage , inspiring and inspired , The Fly is humanist cinema at its most non-human , and a master filmmaker 's finest hour . My bloody valentineIn the movies , vampirism is often employed as a metaphor for all sorts of tough subjects , from drug addiction to AIDS . In this Scandinavian insta-classic , it 's used to explore a less grim but more broadly relatable experience : adolescent loneliness . Oskar ( Hedebrant ) is a pre-teen outcast living in an icy Swedish suburb who forges a strong bond with a girl named Eli ( Leandersson ) who does n't seem to have many other friends either , for reasons that are both similar and drastically different . ' I 'm 12 , ' she tells him . ' But I 've been 12 for a long time . ' Named after a Morrissey song , the film looks and feels like one , too : cold yet moving , morose yet romantic . Its tone ( and landscape ) is frigid but the emotions are warm -- Alfredson handles the young friendship with great sensitivity , and turns in something closer to the Dardenne brothers than a true horror movie , despite containing at least one very memorable dismembering . And yet , it 's one of the most effective uses of vampire mythology ever made . The American remake is n't half-bad either , but the original will make your heart swell as much as your skin crawl . Freddy 's coming for youIt 's arguably the single greatest set-up for a modern horror movie : a monster that invades your dreams , slashing away at your very psyche with his razor-fingered gloves . And while the franchise may have descended swiftly into self-parody -- they marketed Freddy Krueger dolls to pre-teens , if you recall -- the original remains one of the most daring , inventive and downright terrifying shockers of the last century . Wes Craven 's control over his material is absolute , and even a handful of low-rent , low-budget effects ca n't undermine the mounting air of existential , avant-garde dread . It 's also , lest we forget , the movie that made a studio : New Line Cinema were barely a glint in the indie scene 's eye when they forked out $1.8 million for Wes Craven to realise his delirious vision . Seven Nightmare sequels and little more than a decade later , they funded the entire Lord of the Rings ' trilogy . Cheers , Freddy . Love hurtsIt 's one of the great fake-outs in movie history . If you did n't know any better -- or if you 're unfamiliar with the work of deranged genius Takashi Miike -- for much of Audition 's runtime , you might think you were watching a staid romantic dramedy about a widower searching for a new wife via a fake casting call . Shoot , even if you are familiar with the Miike oeuvre , you 'd might think it an outlier in the canon of the guy known for such bloody disgusting displays as Ichi the Killer and The Happiness of the Katakuris , given how slow and unassuming and , frankly , boring the first half of the picture is . And then , just as you 've been lulled nearly to sleep , blammo : out comes the needles and piano wire , as the widower 's meek new bride turns out to be not so meek after all . That narrative curveball , though , is just one element that makes it a horror classic . Beneath its ultraviolent conclusion lies a piercing ( ahem ) critique of masculinity and gender roles in Japan . But anyway , we 've now said too much and you 've read too much -- but next time an unexpecting guest suggests something light to watch , throw this on and watch their face gradually grow pale . Things that go bump in the nightWith some horror movies , it 's all about context -- watch The Haunting on a well-lit afternoon and it 'll seem creaky , old-fashioned , even a bit silly . But watch it late at night , alone , and this might be the greatest ghost story of them all , in which the things going bump in the night are n't out there in the dark , but right inside the room -- or inside your mind . The use of wide angles is gorgeously unsettling -- director Robert Wise is clearly a student of Orson Welles , whose off-kilter influence is all over the film . Wise would return to terrify us again four years later with The Sound of Music -- a jack of all trades , indeed . Birth of a nationThe film that made it all happen , Murnau 's loose , unofficial adaptation of Stoker 's Dracula may not have been the first horror movie ( that honour probably goes to George Meli ? s 's Le Manoir du Diable ) but it 's certainly the most influential . So many keynotes of the genre emerge fully formed here : the use of light and shadow , threat and tension , beauty and ugliness , a man in grotesque make-up threatening an innocent girl . And what 's remarkable is that it remains a deeply unsettling piece of work : Schreck 's contorted performance , not to mention that hideous , batlike make-up , may be the film 's most iconic image , but the plague-of-rats scene is deeply unnerving too -- we can only imagine how it must have seemed to audiences emerging from the First World War . One of us , one of us ... Tod Browning 's pre-Code masterpiece is a movie at once years ahead of its time and difficult to imagine a major studio getting behind today . In telling the sordid tale of a circus troupe infiltrated by a gold-digging normie , Browning famously cast actual sideshow performers , including Siamese twins , a limbless man and a ' pinhead ' . At the time , it icked out audiences , pissed off MGM head Irving Thalberg and damaged Browning 's reputation -- and it 's easy to imagine the deluge of thinkpieces decrying it as ' exploitative ' that 'd come out if it was made now . But if Freaks were merely , well , a freak show , it 'd be thought of as little more than a historical curiosity . Instead , it treats the cast -- who , it must be said , are made for the camera in more ways than one -- with more humanity than many other filmmakers would have , then or now . Even in its terrifying climax , in which the troupe exacts chilling revenge against the conniving intruder in their midst , it 's made clear that the true monsters are n't the ones with physical deformities ... which probably upset theater-goers and Hollywood power players more than anything else . A genuine blockbuster upon release , Richard Donner 's contribution to the Satanic panic wave of the ' 70s and ' 80s sent mothers digging through their kid 's hair for the mark of the beast and forever made it impossible for anyone named Damien to go to the bank or order a drink at Starbucks without receiving a few raised eyebrows . While not nearly as artful as Rosemary 's Baby -- the other big movie about parents unwittingly raising the devil 's child , released a decade prior -- it is much more accessible , and no less eerie , even if its plotting is quite a bit sillier . After his own son dies during childbirth , an American diplomat ( a fully committed Gregory Peck ) swaps him with a recently orphaned newborn , somehow without his wife ( Lee Remick ) knowing , and within five years realises why the hospital chaplain was so quick to give the baby up . Peck sells it all with his perpetually furrowed ( and bushy ) brow , and the pacing is Jaws-level tight . And then there 's young Harvey Stephens as Damien , who does n't speak much , but whose face projects a mix of innocence and evil that 's genuinely unnerving . See you on the othersideDo funfair haunted houses still exist , or are they obsolete in this era of torture porn and human centipedes ? Either way , they 're the perfect comparison for Poltergeist , a film which draws you in , gooses you gleefully for two hours then spits you out the other side , quivering but happy . There 's nothing too nasty in this effects-packed ghost story -- the odd face-rip , the occasional pop-up corpse -- but the effect is more bracing and enjoyable than a hundred Hostels . The big question still surrounding the film , of course , is who really made the movie -- credited director Tobe Hooper , or Steven Spielberg , the producer whose hands-on approach led some observers to cry foul . There 's no doubt that Poltergeist looks and feels like a Spielberg movie , all suburban angst and shimmering God-light -- but it has a wholly Hooper-ish ferocity at points as well . Let 's call it a happy collaboration . A year later their footage was found ... Although the alleged anthropological footage of Cannibal Holocaust ( 1980 ) pre-dated Myrick and S ? nchez 's terrifying faux documentary by nearly two decades , this film made them the founding fathers of modern ' found footage ' horror . Shot for $50,000 in just eight days , it purports to show an edited version of the grainy , hand-held videotape shot by missing film students Heather , Josh and Michael , while investigating the Blair Witch legend in and around Burkittsville , Maryland . There are interviews with locals , footage of the trio getting hopelessly lost in the woods , and increasingly hysterical arguments . At night , inside their flimsy tent , they are assailed by creepy scuffling and eerie screams . Crucially , since neither director was a horror nerd , they cut a highly original path through the dark woods of our imagination . You can make it on your ownLow-budget DIY horror was already a force by 1981 -- the Texas Chain Saw Massacre folks had shown that you could make millions with an old camera , some enthusiastic friends and a few garden tools -- but the movie which took the movement to new heights was Raimi 's astonishing debut . Adapting their own short Within the Woods , childhood friends Raimi , producer Robert Tapert and star Campbell secured funding from local businesses and traipsed off to the forest to make one of the most ferocious , original and unrelenting horror movies of all time . Sure , it looks a little rough around the edges now ( and that still censored tree-rape scene is just unnecessarily vicious ) , but The Evil Dead remains an inspiration for first-time filmmakers , a testament to the power of plasticine , glue and gumption . Our feathered friendsAlong with Psycho , this loose spin on a Daphne du Maurier novella marked Hitchcock 's main foray into horror territory . The Birds sees pernicious flocks of birds follow a metropolitan , San Franciscan blonde ( Tippi Hedren ) to a sleepy coastal town , and it 's these winged creatures that terrify as Hedren fights to resist being pecked to death . Hitchcock often scares by suggestion as crows appear on telegraph wires and the noise of them becomes increasingly intense -- but he also shows full-on , unsettling aerial attacks , and the special effects for these scenes still endure . Psychologically , The Birds is perhaps not Hitchcock 's most fully realised film , but it 's certainly one of his most open as we are left to wonder why , exactly , Hedren 's fledgling romance with Rod Taylor and his claustrophobic relationship with his mum ( Jessica Tandy ) inspire such avian terror . Just imagine those birds in 3D . Did it just get cold in here ... ? Old fashioned in the best sense of the phrase , Medak 's oft-neglected supernatural thriller uses pure cinematic technique to scare the hell out of us . The magisterial Scott plays a well known composer who , following the death of his wife and son in a road accident , takes up a teaching job in Seattle and moves into an eerie , haunted Victorian house . Even the most hackneyed scenes , such as a s ? ance in which a scribbling medium attempts to contact the unquiet spirit of the murdered boy , are staged with consummate skill and emotional conviction . Guillermo del Toro maintains that the best ghost stories all have an undertow of melancholy . That 's certainly true here . Long live the new fleshCronenberg 's most prescient film explores , through the eyes and media-altered mind of sleazy cable television programmer Max Renn ( James Woods ) , the dangerous world imagined by the censors -- one in which exposure to extreme images destroys the viewer 's ability to distinguish between plastic reality and perverse fantasy . As the late-night Videodrome channel 's violent imagery distorts Max 's perception , we are forced to share his subjective point of view . So we ca n't be sure if his sado-masochistic relationship with Nicki Brand ( Blondie singer Harry ) is any more real than the vagina-like orifice that has opened up in his stomach . And when Max slots a video tape into this corporeal opening , flesh and technology meld into one . ' You have to learn to live with a strange new reality , ' insists self-styled media evangelist Brian O'Blivion . And how . Watch out boy , she 'll chew you upThe idea of horror as an act of political or cultural subversion may have gained traction in the ' 70s , but it 's been there all along : what is Shelley 's Frankenstein if not a satire on class ? The message in Jacques Tourneur 's eerily beautiful Cat People may be more subtle , but it 's equally persuasive : this is a study of the innate power of female sexuality , and how suppressing that power can force it to burst forth in unexpected and dangerous ways . Simone Simon plays Irena , A Serbian immigrant whose repressive childhood -- involving , the film implies , sexual abuse -- causes her to transform into a deadly panther in moments of arousal . The film 's power lies in the way Tourneur subtly explores these themes without ever crossing the line of taste , or losing sight of the emotional tragedy at the story 's core . Where 's your head at ? Like The Babadook , it 's the disruption of domesticity and family trauma that haunts Hereditary , the debut film from writer-director Ari Aster . Toni Collette plays Annie , an artist who constructs uncannily realistic dioramas : miniature rooms that embody the film 's theme of a larger , malevolent entity playing with human toys . Her family is on the brink , with teenager stoner son Peter ( Alex Wolff ) and creepy daughter Charlie ( played expertly by Milly Shapiro ) becoming increasingly more disturbed as the film progresses . After a catastrophic and stomach-churning accident , the film takes another turn , forcing the viewer to take a leap of faith as a mother 's grief merges with the supernatural . Thankfully , Aster manages it with his gift of exquisite camera placement and generous patience ; he 's not merely a summoner of Kubrickian chill but also brings empathy . She 's alive ! Is Bride of Frankenstein the best film inspired by Mary Frankenstein 's nineteenth-century bone-chiller ? Time Out 's panel of experts voted it so . Director Whale tried to duck out of making a follow-up to his 1931 hit Frankenstein , but the studio turned the screws and Whale caved , declaring that if he must make another film , it would be a real ' hoot ' . But while Bride is full of camp , sly humour , Karloff 's return as the lumbering monster is also incredibly moving . Dr Frankenstein has given up playing God and tinkering with cadavers , but his dastardly mentor Praetorious blackmails him into creating a mate ( Lanchester ) for the monster . Legendary make-up ace Jack Pierce 's look for the Bride -- barbed wire scars , diva make-up , frizzed out hair streaked with lightening bolts -- and Lanchester 's jolting movements , eerily innocent , make this an American gothic to remember . Haunted dancehallHerk Harvey 's Carnival of Souls may not be the scariest movie ever made , but it 's certainly one of the eeriest . An insidiously cheap creepshow that feels like it 's being projected directly from your nightmares ( Harvey used an Arriflex camera -- typically used for newsreels -- as a cost-cutting measure , adding an unsettling edge of realism ) , the film tells the barebones story of a woman who loses a drag race by driving off a bridge and into the river below . She survives the accident , but comes to with no memory of what transpired . And that 's when things get weird . Casting himself as the face of inexplicable evil and slowly dismantling any semblance of logic , Harvey creates a purgatorial dead-end where every turn just leads deeper into the darkness . In the process , he paved the way for Eraserhead and other experimental , micro-budget terrors . Island strifeFifty years old and as chillingly essential as ever , Robin Hardy 's landmark folk horror is an offering to the cinematic gods that required a sacrifice or two of its own just to get made on Scotland 's tropical west coast back in 1972 . But if its path to the screen was almost as rocky as the journey Edward Woodward 's Presbyterian policeman makes through the pagan community of Summerisle -- its four different cuts are testament to a brutal post-production battle -- the toil and pain is nowhere to be found in its creepily unfolding tale of dawning terror . Christopher Lee rated his performance as the suave , menacing Lord Summerisle , a cult leader who 'd probably have ten million YouTube subscribers these days , one of his finest , while Woodward essays a clenched , tormented man of faith , whose doggedness leaves him blindsided , trapped and doomed . The ending , of course , needs no introduction , if a whole lot of recovering from . Gods and monstersThe door opens and the monster lumbers in , taking his first unsteady baby steps . He 's alive ! But as he turns to the face the camera , there 's a ghoulish deadness behind his eyes . How we picture Frankenstein 's monster is defined by make-up legend Jack Pierce 's handiwork : those neck-bolts , the flat head , the sunken eyes . In 1932 the audience was expecting Bela Lugosi as the Monster , but he 'd been dropped by the studio ( and Lugosi himself had disapproved of the way the script turned Mary Shelley 's philosophising creation into a non-speaking part ) . Boris Karloff , then a relative unknown , was cast by on-the-rise director James Whale , who also brought to Frankenstein his trademark dry wit . Not that his film lacks scares , and a scene in which a farmer carries the limp body of his daughter through a village celebrating Frankenstein 's wedding is still deeply shocking . Flaying alivePedro Almod ? var 's The Skin I Live In was inspired in part by Franju 's clinical , monochrome movie about an obsessive professor of plastic surgery . With the help of his lover/assistant , Louise ( Valli ) , Professeur G ? nessier ( Brasseur ) abducts and peels the faces off young women . He then grafts the victims ' flayed visage on his daughter Christiane 's badly scarred face , which in the meantime is hidden and protected by a featureless plastic mask . Effectively imprisoned by her father , who feels responsible for the car accident in which she was disfigured , the infantilised Christiane is like a caged baby bird waiting to find its wings . There were reports of audience members fainting during the facial surgery scenes , but for Franju this was a tale of anguish rather than a horror movie per se . One pill makes you larger ... A surprise entry on this list , Lyne 's psychedelic post-'Nam comedown thriller seems to have fallen from favour in recent years , but has evidently managed to stick in the minds of horror experts . In a decisive and unexpected break from his then-popular goofy-dweeb persona , Robbins plays Jacob , a worn-out war veteran whose mind begins to fragment once the conflict is over . Is he going crazy , or are there darker forces at work ? Beautifully designed by Fatal Attraction helmer Lyne , Jacob 's Ladder feels like an offbeat slice of post-hippy experimentation retooled for the MTV generation : what it lacks in depth and subtlety , it more than makes up for in shock tactics and woozy unpredictability , all anchored in Robbins 's wide-eyed and pitiable central turn . Breaking up is hard to doA disorienting depiction of the psychological ravages of divorce -- with a dash of Cronenbergian body horror -- Polish director Andrzej Zulawski 's unnervingly intense film seems to be the one suffering from some kind of demonic possession . He keeps his camera swirling around Mark ( Neill ) and Anna ( Adjani ) , the disintegrating couple at the movie 's centre , conveying their shared madness by capturing them in increasingly tight close-ups . Adjani , in particular , legitimately disturbs as a wife at her breaking point , screeching and crying like Shelley Duvall in The Shining channeling Diamanda Galas . In one remarkable scene in a subway station , Adjani whips herself into a convulsive ballet before collapsing to the ground in a pool of blood and other fluids . Like the film itself , it is bravely unhinged . Ghosts of the civil deadA smaller-scale companion piece to Pan 's Labyrinth , Guillermo del Toro 's The Devil 's Backbone also follows children through the fog of the Spanish Civil War . Unfolding as a gothic mystery with shades of Lord of the Flies , it 's a film dripping with mesmerising , threatening imagery : an unexploded bomb creaking in a schoolyard , a ghostly boy whose cracked skull seeps blood upward into the ether . Like the supremely creepy , del Toro-produced The Orphanage , we 're soon to discover that the ghosts are the least sinister thing lurking in damp cellars and crumbling corridors . It 's a film that lingers with you , and one that makes you wish that the now Oscar-winning auteur would revisit his roots as a master of small-scale horrors with huge emotional weight . It 's all in the mindIt 's hard to watch Swedish actor von Sydow as a tortured artist in Bergman 's portrait of a man in deep crisis without thinking of the same actor 's self-mocking act as a troubled painter in Woody Allen 's Hannah and her Sisters ( 1986 ) . This is deadly serious though : the real and imagined sit side by side and haunt each other as von Sydow 's demons take over the imagery and mood of the film as his wife ( Ullman ) recalls this terrible period in her life . Conceived alongside Persona , Bergman offers the full horror of an artist 's breakdown and crumbling of his marriage ( and perhaps his wife 's mind too ) -- all of which is presented , at times , as a full-on Gothic nightmare , with characters walking on ceilings , men appearing in hallucinations as birds and a gruesome flashback in which Von Sydow 's character remembers attacking a young boy with a rock . Haunting -- and even more so when you discover it emerged from Bergman 's own demons and nervous breakdown in the mid-1960s . Roman ? clefWhat is it about Polanski and confined spaces ? With Repulsion , Rosemary 's Baby and finally this Paris-set film , the Polish director proved himself a master of turning the humble flat into frightening domestic terrain . Here , Polanski himself plays a man who moves into an empty apartment , previously occupied by a woman who attempted suicide , and finds himself at the centre of a paranoid storm in which his neighbours are increasingly accusing and vicious towards him -- causing his mental state to worsen as it becomes less and less clear exactly what 's real and what 's not . The Tenant may be set in the present , but it 's hard not to impose the horror of Polanski 's own childhood experiences in the Warsaw ghetto on to this story of the walls closing in on one man 's world . He 'd like to have you for dinner ! Ah yes , the famous biopic of the late , great gentleman cannibal , Hannibal Lecter . No , he did n't actually exist , but you can almost forgive certain mush-brained politicians for seeming to think he did . Anthony Hopkins is chillingly believable in the role , playing him not as a brute or monster , like most serial killers to that point , but as a man of manners , intelligent as he is unfeeling . He is not the only reason Jonathan Demme 's Oscar-winner succeeds : Jodie Foster is equally mesmerising as the FBI agent staring the devil in the eye and trying not to flinch . And he 's not even the biggest sicko in the movie . But his presence permeates the entire film , even as he spends most of it in prison -- and inceed , it can still be felt today , from movies like Longlegs to the presidential candidates invoking his name , hoping to terrify voters into submission . Jersey devilNicole Kidman plays the mother of two young children who have a photo-sensitive disorder that forces them to stay indoors in this distinctly grown-up ghost story set on the island of Jersey in 1945 . With hints of 1951 's The Innocents ( itself based on Henry James 's The Turn of the Screw ) , Spanish writer-director Alejandro Amenabar upsets the equilibrium of this family 's prim , proper lives by introducing a trio of new servants to the house ( Eric Sykes plays a gardener ) with whom arrive a series of low-key but upending supernatural goings-on . The scares here are incremental and subtle , driven not by outright terror but by doors that close themselves or pianos that play on their own . This is mature psychological horror , built on intelligence and an alluring , solid foundation of old-fashioned craft . Do n't be a dummyIt 's Redgrave as a ventriloquist possessed by his own dummy that most people rightly remember about this Ealing Studios anthology of horror yarns , woven together as a series of tales told by guests at a tea party at a remote cottage . The tales themselves vary in quality , but the talent involved -- the cream of Ealing -- remains impressive . As well as the ventriloquist 's episode , the other strong segment is directed by Robert Hamer ( It Always Rains on Sunday ) and features a mirror that reflects another time and place . For this story , a husband ( Michael ) is possessed , dragged into the mirror and inspired to try and kill his wife ( Withers ) . Horror disappeared from cinemas during the war , so this marked a return to screens for the genre . Vote for the green partyIt 's gratifying to see both Body Snatchers movies on this list : Don Siegel 's 1956 original may be punchier and more bracing , but Philip The Right Stuff Kaufman 's ' 70s remake is funnier and more self-aware . While the original movie was ( depending on who you believe ) an examination of either McCarthyist conformity or encroaching communism , the remake takes things into weirder , more oblique territory , lampooning the fallout from the ' 60s ideal with its lentils-and-beansprouts nature freaks and its bandwagon-jumping psychotherapy converts . Plus , it 's an absolutely terrific horror movie : the scene where Sutherland smashes up a gestating pod-person with a rake is gruesome as hell , but it 's that famously devastating closing shot that really chills the blood . Who 's that girl ? It is possibly the scariest scene in cinema history : ( spoiler alert ! ) a man watches a video in which a ghostly figure in white , long black hair pulled witchily over her face , crawls like nothing human out of a well and then just keeps coming , out of his TV and into the real world ... Ring is a masterpiece of fear and atmospheric terror . A journalist ( Nanako Matsushima ) is investigating a rumour that 's spreading like wildfire among teenagers about a spooky VHS . Everyone who has watched the video , so the story goes , dies seven days later . The drip , drip , drip of dread of Hideo Nakata 's film will turn your stomach to ice -- it 's not for nothing that Ring is highest grossing horror in Japanese film history . The eye of the beholderMade the same year as Psycho -- another film about a deranged single man -- this was the film that brought Powell 's career to a premature halt , so upsetting did his contemporaries find the story of a young photographer and filmmaker who disguises a murder weapon as a camera in order to trap and kill women . In retrospect , Mark Lewis ( B ? hm ) remains a disturbing figure and his screen murders have an intimate cruelty to them -- Shearer 's demise in an empty film studio is especially horrible . But surely it was the most modern elements of the film -- the suggestion that the camera itself is so invasive and predatory as to ' kill ' and the idea that Lewis is playing out a childhood trauma -- that alienated viewers in the early 1960s and caused Powell 's critics to grumble instead about its portrayal of semi-naked prostitutes ? This is a great horror film about the horror of cinema itself . Way down in the holesIf it was only about a group of thrill-seeking women lost in a subterranean cave system , Neil Marshall 's intensely uncomfortable survival thriller would still make this list for the sheer claustrophobia it evokes . Adding a race of flesh-craving humanoid mole-rats to the mix almost feels unfair , to both the protagonists and the nervous systems of everyone watching . Marshall 's film arrived a few years before the so-called ' horror renaissance ' , but it deserves mention alongside A Quiet Place and The Conjuring for reminding audiences how fun a well-executed genre picture can be , even when it 's this suffocatingly stressful . Just remember to breathe -- it 's remarkable how easy it is to forget . Sister actIn lesser hands , the wild theatrics and camp stylings of Ken Russell 's story of religious persecution and demonic possession in seventeenth-century France would turn The Devils into no more than a fleshy , hysterical romp . But what 's brilliant about The Devils is that Russell achieves a real , serious sense of fear and claustrophobia alongside the ample lunacy . Partly that 's down to Reed 's reserved performance -- compared , at least , to the madness around him -- which means that when his character , Father Grandier , is finally tortured we feel the full horror of corrupt government and wayward religious fervour directed towards him . That said , The Devils is also hugely fun , from Derek Jarman 's immense , overwhelming set design to Vanessa Redgrave 's vulnerable , possessed performance as Sister Jeanne . In March 2012 , the BFI finally released The Devils on DVD as part of an impressive two-disc package : a fitting tribute to Russell , who died in November 2011 . Spaghetti slasherArgento fans have a tendency to divide into two camps : those who prefer his relatively straightforward , plot-driven early giallo thrillers and those who revel in the surrealistic beauty of his post-Suspiria dream-movies . Deep Red is the film which unites the two camps , combining propulsive narrative intrigue with a series of kill scenes more elaborate and expressionistic than anything the director had yet attempted . Thanks in large part to two likeable lead performances -- Hemmings and Nicolodi have a real rapport as the amateur sleuths on the trail of a serial murderer -- it 's also Argento 's most breezily enjoyable film , chucking in a fistful of witty , satirical attacks on Italian masculinity and some of the finest prog-fusion freakouts ever committed to tape . Daddy issuesSeveral movies on this list confront the fear of parenthood , usually manifesting in the birth of the spawn of Satan . Of course , David Lynch being David Lynch , he expresses his anxiety over becoming a father a bit differently : with a hallucinatory stress dream involving a screeching lizard baby . Shot in gauzy black-and-white , the director 's debut feature adheres to the nightmare logic that would become his signature , but you do n't have to be Sigmund Freud to decipher its meaning . In many ways , it remains Lynch 's most personal film -- and while he continued to work at the edges of horror , the rawness of the imagery makes it arguably his most terrifying . The girl ca n't help itPolanski once said in an interview that Repulsion is one of the films he made as ' matters of convenience ' . In this case he was on his uppers -- flat broke in London -- and was offered the chance to make a horror film . Which does n't tell the half of it . Has there been a more dread-filled study of mental collapse ? Catherine Deneuve plays a repressed young Belgian woman , Carole , who lives in London with her sister and works as a manicurist . ' Give me Revlon 's fire and ice , ' says one of her dowager customers . Fire and ice : it could be a description of Deneuve 's on screen presence , her secretive and chilliness . All around Carole , London is upbeat , going places . The youth are about to quake . In her flat cracks appear in the walls and Carole drifts off into fugues and finally psychosis . The noise of everyday life is deafening , Polanski piercing the subconscious to poke at what lies beneath . A **42;2040;TOOLONG comedy-thriller for the agesBumbling cops and restrictive bureaucracy are constants in South Korean cinema , but few films contrast the pull between modern law enforcement and ancient evil with as deft a hand as The Wailing . Director Na Hong-jin proved to be a master at upending expectations with his serial-killer potboiler The Chaser , but nothing he pulled off in that underseen gem holds a candle to the tightrope walked here . Part folk-horror , part demonic-possession hair-curler and part pitch-black procedural comedy , The Wailing takes its time , unspooling across 156 richly detailed , skin-crawlingly meticulous minutes . The less you know the better : This is a film that lulls you with its beauty , then sears your eyeballs with reckless abandon . ShyamalanadingdongIt 's been endlessly parodied and director M Night Shyalaman 's career has gone seriously off the boil since . But The Sixth Sense brought ghostly chills ( this is far from the gory end of horror ) to an approving mass audience . Even now it feels wrong to reveal the twist on which the film is built , so we wo n't . Suffice to say that the film 's power derives from ultimately being an acute and acutely strange study of grief and its fallout . Child star Haley Joel Osment ( what happened to him ? ) plays a young boy who can see and talk to the dead ( ' I see dead people ' now up there with ' I 'll have what she 's having ' in the movie-quote pantheon ) , while Bruce Willis plays the psychologist who attempts to diagnose his condition . It 's so effective because Shyalaman manages not to reveal the truth until very late on and , crucially , make it feel credible when he does . Gone girlIt 's a simple premise : a man 's girlfriend disappears from a rest stop without a trace , and the mystery of what happened to her consumes him to the point of near madness . But what makes Dutch director George Sluizer 's psychological thriller so successfully frightening is how it pushes us to the verge of insanity , making it so easy for us to imagine ourselves in the same horrifying situation . It leads to a dangerous bargain , and one of the most unshakeable , don't-you-dare-spoil-it endings in movie history . Why Sluizer would remake the film in America and change his own brilliant climax is another act of madness altogether . Pack up your troublesBased on traditional Japanese folk tales and filmed in ravishing wide-screen on hand-painted sets , these four stories -- of raven-haired women , beautiful female spectres , blind singing monks and ghostly samurai warriors -- created a template for much of the indigenous supernatural cinema that would follow . The eternally youthful wife in The Black Hair , in particular , prefigures the many raven-haired women with shadowed ivory faces found in modern J-horror movies such as Ringu . Kobayashi 's stylised use of colour is more symbolic than naturalistic , and coupled with the avant garde electronic score by Toru Takemitsu , which also incorporates sampled natural sounds , it generates both a haunting atmosphere and some subtle supernatural chills . The first bite is the deepestIn 1932 , the New York Times 's film critic was not impressed . Vampyr , he declared , was ' one of the worst films ' he 'd ever seen , but added grudgingly that director Carl Dreyer could always be relied upon to be ' different ' . And Vampyr is different , a film like no other . Dreyer spun his cinematic nightmare from two stories from a Sheridan Le Fanu collection . It stars Nicolas de Gunzburg ( a Russian aristocrat who bankrolled the film , appearing under the alias Julian West ) as an occult-obsessed young man who visits a French village haunted by a vampire . The lord of the manor dies and his young daughter is gravely ill , bite wounds to her neck . His intention , said Dreyer , was ' to create a daydream on the screen and to show that the horrific is not to be found around us , but in our own unconscious mind . ' And Vampyr is often compared to a waking dream , full of strange hallucinatory images that strike dread in audiences even today . Whatever you witness ... never stop recordingA rare found-footage film that actually makes sense , Spanish export Rec possesses an eerie prescience in its story of a group of firefighters and a news crew locked in a quarantined apartment building . The dread is palatable from the onset , but once the mysteriously infected tenants start gnashing their teeth , the film grabs viewers by the throat in a way few modern zombie yarns do . Taking a cue from George A Romero , Rec wrings endless tension from its single location , amping up the dread ( and gruesome kills ) with a sprinkling of religious horror in its fevered sprint to a breathless finale . Schools out foreverThere 's much fun to be had with French filmmaker Clouzot 's boarding school-set puzzler from 1955 , a suspenseful comic tease with added frights . First , there are the grotesque characters , each horrific enough in their own way , from the boo-hiss headmaster ( Paul Meurisse ) to his nervy wife ( Vera Clouzot ) and bullish mistress ( Signoret ) . Clouzot has been tagged the ' French Hitchcock ' , and it 's a fair enough comparison : like his British counterpart , he allows for ample playfulness amid the scares . Apart from being compelling right to the final frame , the main reason why Les Diaboliques deserves a place in this list is the way that Clouzot continually upends us with the ambiguous aftermath of the headmaster 's murder -- as well as how he pulls off an unforeseeable scare late in the day . Sleep , little ones , sleepCharles Laughton 's only work as a director may be terrifying , but is it really a horror film ? That uncertainty is doubtless the reason for its low placing in this list , because there 's no question about the film 's quality : this is a near-perfect example of pure cinema . There are strong ties to the genre : Robert Mitchum plays Harry Powell , a murderous preacher whose pursuit of hidden booty leads him to hunt down a pair of hapless orphaned children through a mystical Southern dreamscape . But more than half a century after it was made , The Night of the Hunter continues to shrug off attempts at easy categorisation : if it 's a horror movie , then it 's also an adventure story , a crime thriller , a coming-of-age drama and a fairy tale . One thing remains certain , however : it 's a masterpiece . Non-schlock mock doc shock ! A surprise entry on our list , this appallingly titled micro-budget Australian offering made waves at the SXSW film festival in 2006 , then promptly vanished off the radar . But somebody was clearly paying attention , because it 's crashed into our top 100 . Told in mock-doc style , the film recounts the eerie , possibly supernatural events that occurred in the remote Aussie town of Ararat following a tragic drowning at the local reservoir . There 's nothing groundbreaking here , but the photography is beautiful , the performances strong and the moments of unease are brilliantly handled and genuinely spooky . Listen hard , and you might just be able to hear Paranormal Activity director Oren Peli frantically scribbling notes . All I have to do is dreamOutside the arthouse , horror is the only cinematic genre where pure surrealism is not only acceptable but expected -- and there are few more graphic examples than Fulci 's bonkers bayou bloodbath The Beyond . There 's a plot of sorts , but it 's fairly standard : a young woman inherits a hotel which happens to have been built over a gateway to hell . But this is merely a loose framework within which Fulci goes all out to upset and horrify his audience : faces melt inexplicably , tarantulas rip out human tongues , zombies rise from the grave , eyes are repeatedly torn out . The result is more accurately nightmarish than almost any other film on this list , a true descent into the depths of meaningless , unpredictable , terrifyingly beautiful horror , with a scorpion-sharp sting in the tail . Ghosts in the machineKurosawa 's cautionary philosophical tale uses the familiar tropes of dystopian sci-fi and supernatural horror to explore an internet-fixated world where online communication has eroded social cohesion , replacing personal relationships and human communication with alienated loneliness . Soul-sucking spectres appear online and spread like a virus . Seduced by cryptic messages asking , ' Do you want to meet a ghost ? ' , obsessive internet users abandon friends , family and colleagues . Withdrawing from the world , they become lethargic , depressed and ultimately suicidal . Tokyo slides towards a state of spiritual decay and social entropy . Wes Craven had a writing credit on director Jim Sonzero 's 2006 remake , which retained the original 's morbid atmosphere and apocalyptic ending but precious little else . The original Japanese title , Kairo , means ' circuit ' . Vive le difference ! The retro stylings of this Gallic shocker testify to a prodigious knowledge of old school slasher and giallo films , matched by a knowing , modern cinematic sensibility that gives an extra twist to the remorseless terrorising of De France and Le Besco 's holidaying students . One senses that things wo n't end well when we first see Gaspar No ? ' s favourite actor , Nahon , fellating himself with a woman 's severed head . The imaginatively gruesome killings and chase scenes come thick and fast and the nerve-jangling sound design exacerbates the tension , making it virtually unbearable . Then , with one staggeringly ill-judged and gob-smackingly offensive plot twist , the entire film falls apart . Aja 's tendency towards unreconstructed , old-school chauvinism surfaced again in his remakes of The Hills Have Eyes and Piranha , though in a more humorous vein . ' Did ye make some unholy bond with that goat ? ' The Lighthousedirector Robert Eggers ' made one of the most explosive cinematic debuts of all time with this artful slow-burner occupying a swirling vortex of religious zealotry , colonial hubris and black magic . Bathed in the iridescent light of oil lamps and often taking on the look of centuries-old woodcuts , The Witch is a marvel of craftsmanship , from the period-accurate dialogue to the rustic sets . It 's a horrifying ordeal , with breakout performances by Anya Taylor-Joy and young Harvey Scrimshaw grounding an escalating tale of exiled settlers overcome by paranoia . As the film spins out into a deranged finale , a sinister voice asks ' wouldst thou like to live deliciously ? ' Given the horrors that unfold up to that point , it 's a sumptuous proposition . Devil in disguiseJacques Tourneur never intended to show the audience the demon that terrorises his Night of the Demon . But producer Hal E Chester insisted the flaming beast make two personal appearances to bookend this tale of an American psychologist , Dr Holden ( Andrews ) , a world-renowned paranormal sceptic . He 's in London to debunk a devil cult , whose apparently avuncular leader , Dr. Julian Karswell ( MacGinnis ) , he takes for a harmless fake ( he should really be paying more attention to Karswell 's devilish goatee ) . Tourneur was right about the monster -- it 's B-movie silly . But the French-born director knew his business and elsewhere gives an object lesson in frightening the audience out their seats with the mere placing of a hand on a banister . Scriptwriter Charles Bennett was likewise enraged by the demon : ' If Chester , the producer walked up my driveway right now , I 'd shoot him dead . ' The mummy 's curseThe territory where scary movies overlap with social realism remains largely unexplored by filmmakers . Horror has traditionally been a genre bent on entertainment -- however twisted -- and so reminders of real-world tragedy tend to stifle the fun . So props to first-time filmmaker Jennifer Kent for never shying away from her central character 's predicament : yes , our heroine Amelia is being stalked by something supernatural , but we 're never sure if it 's made the life of this grieving single mother appreciably worse . And as women continue to be shut out of filmmaking roles , how satisfying that The Babadook was one of the best-reviewed horror movies of the decade so far . More than just the ' sunken place'Horror films are at their best when the fear stems from the human condition itself . It 's what makes Jordan Peele 's Get Out one of the most essential cinematic outings in recent memory . Starring British actor Daniel Kaluuya ( yep , the guy out of Skins ) as Chris , a photographer accompanying his white girlfriend ( Williams ) for a weekend with her parents that turns sour , the film 's terror comes from the mirror it holds up to society 's continuing threat of racism . Utilising the horror trope of isolated suburbs , Peele subverts expectations , distinctly carving out a new niche in the genre that 's equal parts horror , comedy and social commentary . The sinister ' sunken place ' has resonated so much that it 's now part of cultural lexicon . What 's so unsettling about Peele 's film , however , is just how zeitgeisty it remains . Hate crimeIf every generation gets the zombies its deserves , what would ours be like ? Full of rage was the answer Danny Boyle came up with in 28 Days Later ... , in which a group of animal liberation militants free lab chimps infected with a fatal virus . The disease quickly spreads through the British population , turning people into berserk zombies . One month later , in a London hospital , bicycle courier Jim ( Cillian Murphy ) wakes up from a coma , to find London cloaked in an unearthly silence . There are scenes here that will send a shiver down your spine , such as the swarm of rats running in terror from an approaching undead horde . But the real horror begins when Jim and his band of survivors reach the ' safety ' of a group of soldiers barricaded in a stately mansion up north . Trapped in the closetThere was no way director Robert Wiene could 've known how disturbingly prescient his masterpiece of art-horror would turn out to be . A tale of hypnotism , hysteria and multiple murder set in a twisted , folksy German landscape filtered through the disturbed imagination of a madman , its fractured landscapes reflect the shattered psyche of a nation in defeat , but they also prefigure the greater horrors to come . And almost a century later , at least one sequence here remains genuinely frightening : the midnight attack on a helpless young woman by a shambling , somnambulant strangler . The ending , too , still shocks : the whole world is a madhouse , Wiene is saying , so who 's really sane ? The little deathBava 's ghoulish small-town ghost story may feel a little tame following the explicit eeriness of his groundbreaking Black Sunday , but Kill , Baby ... Kill ! is still a radical and unsettling work . When a coroner is called to a small town to inspect the corpse of a maid , he finds a silver coin inserted into her heart . The village is suffering under an ancient curse -- and those who speak out about it meet bloody and untimely ends . Embracing the opportunity to shoot in full colour , Bava creates a lurid , entrancing dream-world which clearly informed the work of Argento and Fulci , and indeed any director interested in exploring otherworldly ideas : one scene , where the hero seems to pursue a vision of himself , is an almost shot-for-shot antecedent of David Lynch 's disturbing final episode of Twin Peaks . Perfect weather for ducksBelieved lost for over 30 years , they found The Old Dark House in the Universal Studios vaults in 1968 . Thank goodness ! What a tragedy it would have been to lose this deliciously ghoulish comedy of manners . The film was adapted from JB Priestley 's novel Benighted , and sees a young couple , a chorus girl , a war veteran and a gruff self-made industrialist take shelter in a tumbledown Welsh mansion during a rainstorm . Its inmates , the Femm family , are quite frankly bonkers . Head of the household is Horace ( a juicily camp turn by Thesiger : ' It 's only gin . I like gin , ' ) , who 's constantly bickering with his batty , deaf sister . Upstairs , their 101- year-old dad is bedridden and Saul their pyromaniac brother is locked in the attic , while Morgan the mad butler ( Karloff ) is getting fighting-drunk in the kitchen . Full of acid wit and howlingly funny , The Old Dark House is one of the most giddily glorious films you 're ever likely to see . Sorority sisters in pre-slasher slay ride shockerA low-budget Canadian precursor of the ' seasonal slasher ' cycle that was kicked into gear by the success of Halloween four years later , Clark 's imaginatively nasty film traps a group of college students in a snow-dusted sorority house , where they are terrorised by an obscene phone caller before being bumped off one by one . Anticipating many now familiar conventions , Clark cranks up the level of threat through his pioneering use of prowling shots from the psycho killer 's point of view , reinforced here by a discordant sound design . A sparky , pre-Superman Margot Kidder gives as good as she gets , but it 's hard to tell which , if any , of the girls will survive this Yuletide slay ride . Clark also pulls off a wicked plot twist near the end , a flourish that 's simple yet devastatingly effective . Untempered SteeleFor students of horror , 1960 is remembered as the year of Peeping Tom and Psycho . But Bava 's monochrome masterpiece Black Sunday fully deserves to be set alongside them : while Hitchcock and Powell were revolutionizing the genre by bringing the terror closer to home , Bava was doing almost the opposite , creating a boldly imaginative and dreamlike world inspired by the Universal classics , while at the same time using groundbreaking special effects to ensure that the horrors depicted on screen were more graphically disturbing than ever before . Black Sunday is a film crammed with surreal and still shocking imagery : while it 's most famous for the opening scene in which a spiked mask is hammered onto the face of dark witch Barbara Steele , there are many more wonderfully nasty sights to behold , from an empty eye socket crawling with maggots to a walking corpse who looks suspiciously like Sonny Bono . Skinless wonderFrom the disturbed imagination of gifted British fabulist Clive Barker comes a Faustian pact with a difference , involving a mysterious puzzle-box , a painful rebirth and the diet of human flesh needed to put the skin back on the flayed muscle of jaded sensualist Frank 's resurrected body . By solving the puzzle , Frank enters the world of exquisite cruelty presided over by Pinhead ( Bradley ) and his fellow Cenobites -- glamorous sadists with a penchant for ripped flesh and transcendent pain . Despite Barker 's determination to ' embrace the monstrous ' , the fetishistic appeal of the Cenobites goes hand in hand with an atmosphere of clammy , mind-warping dread . The unsettling moral ambiguities of Frank 's relationship with his ex-lover Julia ( now his brother 's wife ) resonate far more than the conventional sub-plot involving his teenage niece Kirsty . Play misty for meIf Halloween was an urban legend come to life , its follow-up was John Carpenter 's stab at an old-fashioned campfire tale . It even begins , Princess Bride-style , with three kids bundled up by a roaring blaze as John Houseman 's salty sea-dog recounts the eerie tale of how , a century ago , a mysterious mist rolled into the town of Antonio Bay , sparking an act of shipwrecking criminality that will someday come back to haunt the townsfolk ... A critical flop on first release , The Fog is n't as bold or brutal as its predecessor -- but it was n't meant to be . This is a film of lurking shadows and creeping gloom , unfashionably cosy in its dedication to the Victorian tradition of ghostly goings-on . It 's a film to be watched alone , lights out , with a mug of steaming cocoa . Virgin on the ridiculousThere 's nothing wrong with a messy horror movie -- flying limbs , cardboard monsters , terrible acting . But there 's something uniquely pleasurable -- and unsettling -- about a scary movie where every shot , every line , every beat of music feels painstakingly composed to scare the bejesus out of you . It Follows is a prime example : for every second of this sparse , precise story of supernatural stalkers in suburbia , you know that writer-director David Robert Mitchell has both hands firmly on the wheel . You 're just never sure where he 's driving you . Wolfing aroundThe best teenage werewolf movie , period . Womens ' bodies have always been a prime source of fascination for horror cinema , from the animal sexuality of Cat People to let's-not-go-there modern shockers like Teeth . But the best of the bunch has to be this crafty Canadian werewolf movie , in which a teenage girl 's first period is swiftly followed by a wild dog attack -- and a series of terrifying but strangely thrilling physical transformations . The film is also notable for its smart , Buffy-ish observations on teenage life , before the conflation of high school trauma and supernatural horror became a clich ? . A word of warning , though : the unnecessary sequels are best avoided . Silence is goldenMichael Bay does n't appear on too many ' greatest films ' lists , so it 's only fair to give the Don of Destruction some credit for helping spawn this creature-feature classic as producer . A Quiet Place follows a family 's attempts to survive in a post-apocalyptic world patrolled by an alien species that hunts by sound , like some kind of satanic land dolphin . In many ways , it 's the antithesis of a Michael Bay movie : instead of noise , there 's silence ; instead of berserk action , there 's stillness . It just makes the experience all the more terrifying . **32;2084;TOOLONG John Krasinski shows an almost Hitchcockian command of tension as the slightest creak or spillage can bring slathering hell-beasts raining down from the surrounding countryside . Emily Blunt , meanwhile , steals the show in front of the camera : the childbirth scene , in particular , will never leave you . A cult classicHereditary director Ari Aster once described Midsommar as ' The Wizard of Oz for perverts , ' but it could just as easily be called ' The Wicker Man on psilocybin . ' Yet for all its horror , Midsommar has a lot on its mushroom-addled mind than pulverised skulls and flayed torsos ( though there 's that too ) . It 's also a surprisingly funny tale of ugly American hubris , an oddly affirming feminist break-up story and meandering thinkpiece about the collision of modern culture and ancient traditions , with Florence Pugh delivering a career-defining performance steeped in grief , confusion , heartbreak , rage and hope . All the while , horror looms in broad daylight , rearing its head not to jolt the audience , but to push the deranged fairy tale toward its fiery , bear-suited conclusion . The pod coupleA zombie movie in all but name , Don Siegel 's eerie frightener about alien invasion , forceably-imposed conformity and sinister vegetation is now best interpreted as a terrifying parable about the dark side of populism . Kevin McCarthy and Dana Wynter are the two lovebirds in a fictional California town who get wise to a conspiracy that replace the population with soulless pod people . As the two try to escape and conspiracy thriller gives way to sweat-coated jailbreak movie , Invasion of the Body Snatchers exudes the scratchy , urgent kind of paranoia that leaves you reflecting on the world around . It was given a post-Watergate remake courtesy of Philip Kaufman 's 1978 classic . It may be sacrilege to say it , but maybe the post-truth era deserves one too ? Nudge nudge , wink winkTwenty-five years , a sea of imitators and four sequels ( and counting ) later , it 's easy to forget how bracing Scream was when Ghostface slashed his way into the pop consciousness . As he did with New Nightmare , Wes Craven -- working with a supremely clever script from Kevin Williamson -- completely upended the slasher tropes he 'd helped cultivate , opening with a sly nod to genre granddaddy Psycho then dissecting and subverting everything that came thereafter.Yet for all the winks , nods and jokes , it 's often forgotten how genuinely frightening Scream is , a gore-drenched Agatha Christie whodunit whose characters ' self-awareness proves to be ineffective plot armour once the blades start glistening . Tale of the unexpectedAlthough anthology horror films are fiendishly difficult to pull off , in its original Italian version ( as opposed to the reshuffled , re-scored travesty released in the US ) , Bava 's bold , expressionistic use of colour and lighting imposes a stylistic consistency on this disparate trio of tales . Boris Karloff 's sonorous intro and epilogue also help . The Telephone seethes with twisted eroticism , as a Parisian prostitute ( Mercier ) is terrified by threatening phone calls from her vengeful ex-pimp . Russian vampire lore informs The Wurdalak , which starts with the discovery of a stabbed and headless corpse , then progresses to ghoulish , atmospheric scenes of blood-sucking . A nurse who steals a valuable ring from a dead body is haunted by guilt in The Drop of Water . The visual debt owed by Argento 's Suspiria and Inferno is abundantly clear . Charm offensiveA horror fan 's sanctuary during the tame Vincent Prince era of the late ' 50s and ' 60s , Hammer Film Productions injected the tired genre with garish bloody colour , shocking violence and the remarkably committed acting duo of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing . If 1957 's The Curse of Frankenstein pried open the coffin , this one -- a massively influential global success -- plunged the stake home . It 's impressive enough that Lee managed to step out of the shadow of the immortal Bela Lugosi , crafting a Count who was virile , sexy and vicious . But the real impact of Dracula is best felt in retrospect : Has there been another Bram Stoker adaptation that 's been this captivating ? Several directors have tried ; none have survived the night . Sweets to the sweet ... Bernard Rose 's loose adaptation of Clive Barker 's The Forbidden has only grown in clout over time . That 's wildly appropriate for a grim story centred around whispered urban legends , which follows Virginia Madsen 's skeptical white academic as she explores the slums of Chicago to study the myth of a vengeful , hook-handed ghost ( Tony Todd , glowering with a mouthful of bees ) . Set to a haunting piano-driven Philip Glass score , Candyman is an oddly prescient film that has only grown more powerful with time , striking a deft balance between splattery scares and themes of gentrification , white privilege and violence against the Black community . That Nia DaCosta struggled with the same balance in a recent revamp is less a knock on the Jordan Peele-produced film and more a testament to Rose 's baroque , grisly vision . Like the lustful ghost at its heart , the film 's legacy becomes more powerful as the years go by . In space , no one can eat ice creamBy the early ' 80s , the home video boom had fuelled a tidal wave of American horror . But with proper financial backing and almost total creative freedom , these films were a world away from the cheapo grit of the grindhouse : directors like Stuart Gordon , Frank Henenlotter and Don Coscarelli had the funding to realise visions which would have been impossible a few years before , resulting in some of the most idiosyncratic movies in the horror canon . Phantasm is the film that kickstarted it all , combining inventive DIY horror with a berserk plot involving homicidal space midgets , heroic ice-cream men , flying spheres which drill into the brain and of course the terrifying ' Tall Man ' . Over the course of three wild sequels , Coscarelli expanded his bizarre universe in a variety of imaginative and deliriously entertaining ways -- but the original set the standard . Do n't look nowPasolini 's final film does n't belong to the horror genre in any traditional sense at all -- but it 's hard to imagine any film on this list surpassing this 1944-set vision of despair for its sheer provocative transgression and devastatingly bleak and pessimistic view of humanity . Drawing on the writings of the Marquis de Sade and influenced by Dante 's Inferno , Pasolini imagined four fascist libertines taking a group of young men and women prisoner in a stately home in Italy and subjecting them to an unimaginable cycle of terror . Rape , torture , murder , the forced eating of shit -- it 's all here . The film provoked outrage in many quarters , but , viewed now , any claims that it is pornographic seem ridiculous . It 's a complete absence of pleasure that Pasolini provokes in this disturbing portrait of a society gone to the dogs . It 's a madhouse ! This microbudget American indie was such a flop that it did n't even get a cinema release in the UK . Which meant that those who heeded word of mouth and picked it up on DVD felt like they were making a genuine discovery : it 's a film so bleak , eerie and unsettling that it could never be embraced by a mainstream audience . Peter Mullan is superbly cast as Gordon , the boss of an asbestos removal company tasked with clearing out an abandoned mental hospital . One of the first movies to be shot on HD digital video , the film has an unearthly , real-but-not-real sheen that adds immeasurably to its heart-stopping atmosphere of impending doom . A farewell to armsFive years before Freaks , Tod Browning directed another twisted tale of circus folk falling in and out of love , and doing hideous things to one another . Here , it 's the outwardly freakish who are inwardly twisted too ( it could even be argued that Freaks works as an apology for The Unknown ) , as a strangler with two thumbs poses as an armless knife-thrower to seduce a beautiful girl who has a morbid fear of men 's hands . That synopsis should offer some insight into the kind of boiling Freudian gumbo Browning serves up . This is a giddy , subversive , wonderfully watchable silent shocker . All you need is BubThere are many who view Romero 's conclusion to his original Living Dead trilogy as something of a comedown , neither as groundbreaking as Night or as satirical and entertaining as Dawn . And it 's true , Romero 's initial ambitions for the project -- a wholesale attack on Reaganite inequality , with the zombies as a new disenfranchised underclass -- were stymied by budgetary concerns , though many of those ideas found their way into the belated follow-up , Land of the Dead . But Day of the Dead is still an astonishing movie , an unrelenting attack on the senses fuelled by an unprecedented sense of despair and rampant nihilism . By this point , it 's hard to tell who we 're really rooting for , the hateful , bickering soldier ' heroes ' or their shuffling , bloodthirsty zombie captives , personified by the ' thinking zombie ' , the oddly lovable Bub . The same , but differentMore than any other Cronenberg film , Dead Ringers tests the limits of what constitutes a horror movie . Yes it has blood , ' tools for operating on mutant women ' and a general tone of deep disquiet , but it 's first and foremost a study of domestic psychosis under unique circumstances . It 's also an unparalleled acting showcase : using computer-controlled camera technology , Jeremy Irons was able to portray both lead characters , twin gynaecologists Elliot and Beverly Mantle . What 's remarkable is how clearly he delineates between them : Elliot the steely , ' masculine ' shark ; Beverly the passive ' feminine ' carer . As in The Fly ( see No 23 ) , Cronenberg 's interest in the tenuous connections between body and mind is combined with an unexpectedly sensitive portrayal of romantic attachment , making the brothers ' inevitable psychological collapse all the more effectively disturbing . Abbott and Costello meet The Evil DeadBefore he got bogged down in endless Hobbitry , Peter Jackson was one of the world 's most ferociously inventive independent exploitation filmmakers , a worthy successor to the George Romero and Sam Raimi school of DIY gore . His first movie , Bad Taste , was filmed over four years of weekends with a band of enthusiastic mates , but by the time of Braindead ( AKA Dead Alive ) Jackson had a budget -- of sorts -- and a professional crew . The result is one of the most relentlessly , gleefully nasty movies ever released , incorporating mutant monkeys , zombie flesh-eaters , death by lawnmower , kung-fu priests and jokes about ' The Archers ' . It also contains the queasiest dinner scene since La Grande Bouffe , involving spurting blood , dissolving flesh , human ears and bowls of claggy rice pudding . I am the resurrectionA kind of madcap blend of the original HP Lovecraft short story with National Lampoon 's Animal House , Re-Animator is horror as cartoon , combining gore and guffaws in a giddy parade of grotesque imagery . Jeffrey ' the thinking man 's Bruce Campbell ' Combs plays disturbed anti-hero Herbert West ( even the way he says his name is funny ) , the science graduate who stumbles across a glowing green resurrection serum and opts to try it out on the overbearing Dean and his nubile , leggy daughter . Re-Animator is a prime example of the home video horror boom in action : it 's weird , wild , unpredictable and frequently very silly , the kind of imaginative but slickly constructed offbeat horror film which seems to have gone entirely out of fashion . Nurse me back to healthThis brilliantly unsettling debut from Rose Glass sweeps in on a humdrum English coastal town with a fierce cargo of religious mania , psychological power games and the odd moment of nightmarish ickiness . Morfydd Clark is astonishing as the deeply religious Maud , a live-in nurse whose first private assignment takes her to the house of Jennifer Ehle 's terminally ill and terminally spiky ex-dancer . The ensuing dance between troubled ascetic and ciggy-smoking sensualist has shades of the psychological frictions of Persona , a major influence on Saint Maud , and goes downhill fast from there . Ehle is great and in a just world Clark would be winning awards for her remarkable piece of physical acting . The result is the best British horror since Under the Skin . Jesus loves you ... a little too muchThe horror game can be tough . Larry Cohen is without question one of the most inventive , idiosyncratic American writer-directors of the 1970s , his outstanding oeuvre spanning low-budget social commentary , low-rent blaxploitation and a handful of the most politically engaged horror films ever made . Yet here we are , 35 years later , and he manages to scrape one film into our Top 100 . God Told Me To is without question one of darkest , sharpest , oddest films on this list , a tale of serial murder , religious mania and alien abduction shot on some of mid- ' 70s New York 's least salubrious streets . Cohen deserves to be mentioned alongside Carpenter and Craven in the horror canon -- and this might be his masterpiece , though It 's Alive , Q : The Winged Serpent and The Stuffall run it close . Situation normal : all fogged upHaving tackled Stephen King twice already -- in The Shawshank Redemption and its inferior follow-up The Green Mile -- Frank Darabont made his first out-and-out horror movie with this bleak , pointed adaptation of King 's novella about a mysterious fog which swamps a small town , forcing the inhabitants to take shelter in the local supermarket . On one level this is pure throwback , an old-school tentacles-and-all monster movie which really comes alive in its glittering monochrome DVD version . But it 's also a ferociously modern drama , picking apart the political and social threads which just about held America together under the Bush administration . Religious dogma , political division and -- finally and devastatingly -- military intervention all go under Darabont 's shakeycam microscope , resulting in perhaps the most intelligent , compelling and heartbreaking horror movie of the century so far . What we do in the shadowsLeigh Whannell 's canny retooling of HG Wells 's sci-fi novel offers a tart statement on toxic men and their gaslighting ways . Elisabeth Moss plays Cecilia , an architect traumatised by her abusive tech entrepreneur husband Griffin ( Oliver Jackson-Cohen ) . Soon , Griffin is reported dead by suicide . But is he ? And why have things started going bump in the night ? Whannell is respectful to the classic Universal monster movie with which it shares its name ( look out for a cameo from those trademark bandages ) , but this is no reverential retread . It has ideas of its own , specifically around the way an abusive relationship can turn life into a prison . Moss , needless to say , makes a killer scream-queen . Clowning aroundFor some , Tim Curry will always embody Pennywise the dancing clown , a manifestation of fear itself . But in this 2017 adaptation of Stephen King 's epic novel , replanted in the 1980s instead of the ' 50s , it 's Bill Skarsg ? rd who scares you witless . As Pennywise , Skarsg ? rd 's eyes roam in two different directions , making the character look truly monstrous and deranged . When he interacts with the children , he drools , as if starved , ravenous to consume them and their fear . Great performances from the young cast also prevent any ' child acting ' awkwardness , while the themes of friendship and the loss of innocence are reminiscent of Stand By Me ( another King adaptation ) and ET . It might be sentimental at times , but when it scares -- and it really does scare -- it 's a chilling reminder that , no matter your age , clowns are terrifying . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'duck out of making a follow-up' does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'duck out of' is used intransitively here, indicating avoidance without the necessary components of the construction.

A wise , violent man once asked : ' Do you like scary movies ? ' The better question , though , is who does n't like scary movies ? Is there any feeling more exhilarating than a jolt of fright , especially if it 's in the form of entertainment ? Sure , we all have our limits : not everyone is up for watching a demonic clown saw a woman in half . ( Although the box office returns suggest a surprising number of people are . ) But even the most squeamish scaredy cats enjoy a light bump in the night every now and then , especially when October rolls around . Horror is the midst of a major renaissance moment , commercially and critically . In 2024 , some of the biggest , buzziest movies of the year -- I Saw the TV Glow , Longlegs , The Substance and the aforementioned box-office shocker Terrifier 3 -- belong to the genre . But horror has a long history , dating back to the earliest days of cinema . Looking to have your nerves rattled ? These 100 classics are guaranteed to have you hiding behind your couch by the time the credits roll . Fifty years of sucking cocks in hellBy the ' 70s , horror had divided into two camps : on one hand , there were the ' real life ' terrors of Psycho and Night of the Living Dead , films that brought horror into the realm of the everyday , making it all the more shocking . On the other , there were the more outrageous dream-horrors popular in Europe , the work of Hammer Studios in the UK and Mario Bava and Dario Argento in Italy , films that prized artistry , oddity and explicit gore over narrative logic . The first film to attempt to bring the two together was Rosemary 's Baby , but Polanski 's heart clearly belonged to the surreal . The first to achieve that blend with absolute certainty was The Exorcist -- which perhaps explains its position as the unassailable winner of this poll . In cutting from the clanging bazaars of Iraq to the quiet streets of Georgetown , in blending dizzying dream sequences with starkly believable human drama , Friedkin created a horror movie like no other -- both brutal and beautiful , artful and exploitative , exploring wacked-out religious concepts with the clinical precision of an agnostic scientist . And make no mistake : The Exorcist is most definitely a horror film : though it may be filled with rigorously examined ideas and wonderfully observed character moments , its primary concern is with shocking , scaring and , yes , horrifying its audience out of their wits -- does mainstream cinema contain a more upsetting image than the crucifix scene ? That it still succeeds , almost four decades later , is testament to Friedkin 's remarkable vision . Cast : Jack Nicholson , Shelley DuvallDo not disturbThe scariest moments in The Shining are so iconic they 've become in-jokes : Jack Nicholson leering psychotically from posters on the walls of student bedrooms everywhere ... ' Here 's Johnny ' . Even so , Stanley Kubrick 's masterpiece of execution and claustrophobia still retains the power to frighten audiences out of their wits . Nicholson is Jack Torrance , a writer working as a caretaker at the isolated Overlook Hotel in the Colorado mountains over winter . Stephen King , on whose novel the film was based , was famously unimpressed . The problem , he said , was that ghost-sceptic Kubrick was ' a man who thinks too much and feels too little ' . He resented Kubrick for stripping out the supernatural elements of his story . Torrance is not tortured by ghosts but by inadequacy and alcoholism . And for many , it 's as a study of insanity and failure that The Shining is so chilling . Sounds like the neighbours are doing DIY again'Who will survive ... and what will be left of them ? ' It 's a question that applies as much to the audience for Tobe Hooper 's relentless stalk-and-saw shocker as to its doomed , hapless characters . Horror had never been this raw before , and it could be argued that it has n't since , the sheer grimy ugliness of the piece leading some to walk out , others to cry sadism and many more to acclaim the film as a modern masterpiece ; horror in its purest , most unforgiving form . Sequels and remakes have come thick and fast , but nothing will ever match your first encounter with the original and its brutal , hammer-over-the-head power . What would mother think ? A few years back , David Thomson 's book The Moment of Psycho argued that Alfred Hitchcock 's blackly comic serial-killer masterpiece did n't just change cinema , but society itself . By confronting audiences with everyday horrors ; by knowingly manipulating them into sympathising with a murderer ; by offering an amoral , adulterous heroine then bumping her off so savagely ; by mocking Freudian psychology and the pompous stuffed-shirts who practice it ; by pushing an image of America as a trap-laden labyrinth populated by creepy cops and nice-as-pie psychopaths ; and by implying that women ( brace yourself now ) actually use the toilet sometimes , Hitch helped pave the way for all the cultural earthquakes and moral rebalancing acts that the coming decade had to offer . And he did it all with a wink and a smile . Now that 's showbusiness . Ch-ch-changesThe world was n't ready for The Thing . It 's hard to imagine given its current enshrinement in the sci-fi and horror canons , but when John Carpenter released his remake of 1951 's The Thing From Another World , it was slagged off as nothing more than an Alienripoff more interested in boundary-pushing special effects than character and story . Even considering the context of the time period , you have to wonder if critics of the day were even watching the same movie . Sure , the gory bits stick deep in both memory and stomach . But the shocking eruptions of viscera are buoyed by the paranoid tension that runs through the US Outpost 31 Antarctic research center , as a parasitic alien lifeform infiltrates , mutates and separates its dozen isolated crew members . Forty years later , The Thing is rightly regarded as Carpenter 's masterpiece . Hey , things change -- sometimes for the better . The hoof that rocks the cradleIt 's hard enough moving into a flat and trying to start a family without having to wrestle with the enveloping suspicion that your new neighbours might be satanists dead-set on parenting a demon child via you . This is the intelligent , subtle face of horror , as Polanski limits the specifics to a minimum and keeps us guessing as to how much is going on merely in the mind of Mia Farrow 's character as she comes to believe she 's been impregnated by a creepy bunch of well-to-do Manhattanites with a connection to the occult . There are some more explicit key scenes -- a potential nighttime rape and a chilling climax -- that serve to get right under our skin without making the whole premise seem ridiculous . Farrow and Cassavetes 's performances as a couple disintegrating serve Polanski well in his attempt to make the potential alienation of everyday family life feel horrific , and the faux-naive score , evoking lullabies , makes the whole affair feel doubly creepy in the most heady way possible . Is that a carving knife in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me ? Movie snobs always have to point out that Bob Clark 's Black Christmas actually birthed the slasher subgenre , but it was the astonishing success of John Carpenter 's breakthrough indie ( $70 million worldwide on a $300,000 budget ) that really set things in motion . But forget all the masked wannabes and knife-wielding suburban loonies that came after , and marvel at the streamlined power of Carpenter 's film : the gliding camera , the concealing shadows , the single-minded presence of masked villain Michael Myers , as perfect a killer as the shark in Jaws . Almost four decades later , it 's still close to flawless . Shop ' n ' maulWith Night of the Living Dead , George Romero invented the modern zombie movie . Then , a decade later , he changed the game all over again . Much of Dawn of the Dead 's reputation is steeped in its next-level gore , and yes , Tom Savini 's effects are still among the most nauseating ever put on screen . But Romero ups the volume on everything from his first film : the scope , the action , the humour , the social commentary . Shifting from the country to the ' burbs , the movie follows four survivors as they hole up in a massive shopping mall , unaware that even the undead feel an instinctual pull to shop ' til they drop . All zombie flicks since follow in its shambling footsteps , and while some may be bigger , scarier , funnier , even gorier , not even Romero himself could make something as entertaining -- though he did get close . It 's often said that Steven Spielberg 's monumental blockbuster scared off an entire generation from ever stepping a pinky toe in the ocean again . But to paraphrase an old Chris Rock bit , that shark did n't go crazy -- that shark went shark . In other words , you ca n't blame a carnivorous sea beast for eating people if those people are going to keep brazenly dangling their juicy limbs in front of its snout . ( Yes , in real life , it 's extremely rare for sharks to attack humans , and Spielberg did more damage to the reputation of the Carcharodon carcharias than anyone else , but that 's not really the point . ) If Amity Island 's elected officials had done the right thing and closed the beaches immediately , the body count would 've stalled at one hippie party girl . ( RIP , Chrissie . ) And that -- along with the masterful pacing , get-you-every-time jump scares and addition-by-subtraction effects -- is what makes Jaws so immortally frightening . Sure , being bitten in half by a great white seems like a terrible way to die , but it 's an avoidable fear . Greed , incompetence and hubris , though ? Those are threats you ca n't escape , whether you go in the water or not . Murder in the dance schoolStorywise , there is n't much to Dario Argento 's giallo masterpiece : an American girl ( Jessica Harper ) attends a prestigious ballet academy in Germany , only to discover evil forces lurking within . It 's the stuff of fairy tales ; indeed , Argento has noted Disney 's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs as an influence . Stylistically , though , there may not be another horror movie that does quite as much , and with such singular flair . It 's pure sensory overload , full of unnaturally bright primary colours , over-the-top setpieces involving pits of razor wire and exposed organs , and a shuddering soundtrack from Italian prog rockers Goblin , which does n't so much raise goosebumps as strip flesh straight from the bone . Not even Thom Yorke , who scored Guadagnino 's 2018 remake , can compare . Few movies can : it 's a nightmare seemingly transposed directly from subconscious to screen . The beginning of the endThe film that changed it all , that took horror out of the realm of creaky castles and mad science and into the harsh light of the modern day . Director George Romero insists that much of what made his debut so groundbreaking -- the in-your-face documentary camerawork , the unadorned interiors and unpolished performances -- were just the necessary result of zero-budget filmmaking . But that 's not the case for the film 's progressive race and gender politics , or its slam-bang editing , or its show-stopping violence : as the dead girl rises up to feed on her helpless mother , it 's still possible to feel the world shift a little on its axis . Nothing is what it seemsVoted the best British film of all time in a 2010 Time Out poll of experts , Nicolas Roeg 's adaptation of Daphne Du Maurier 's short story is n't just a masterpiece of terror , it 's also a work of bottomless empathy and slender , spectral beauty . This being a list of horror movies , we 'll skip over the film 's infamous marital sex scene -- still , in this writer 's opinion , the most convincing ever filmed -- and go straight to the spooky bits : the shots of Venice in winter , all boarded up and lonesome ; the two psychic sisters , imparting their impenetrable orphic knowledge ; and most of all that hammer-blow of an ending , in which a child-sized crimson Mackintosh coat hides the worst of all possible fears . Suffer the little childrenKids are creepy enough in real life , with their pliable morals and tiny little hands . Still , the movies always manage to take it a step further . Arguably the most irksome spooky-child movie in existence , The Innocents was adapted by no less a light than Truman Capote from Henry James 's novella The Turn of the Screw , about a governess hired to educate two aristocratic brats who might be hiding a dark , supernatural secret . Consciously attempting to place his film apart from the operatic antics of Hammer , director Jack Clayton created a masterwork of restraint , from Deborah Kerr 's lip-biting lead performance to the film 's groundbreaking but subtly employed electronic score . Do n't get mad , get evenShe was n't the favourite to play ' creepy Carrie ' , but it 's impossible to imagine anyone other than Sissy Spacek ( looking like she 's stepped into the ' 70s from another time altogether ) in the role . Stephen King got the idea for the novel , his first , in the girls ' locker room of a college where he was working as a caretaker . Teenage girls can be pure evil and it 's in a locker room that we meet Carrie , who 's just had her first period and is being told to ' plug it up ! ' by the mean girls . Carrie 's secret is that she has telekinetic powers , which are about to wreak an apocalypse at the school prom . As for the pig 's blood scene , it does n't matter how many times you watch it , you 're willing that bucket not to drop . Spacek gamely offered to be covered in real pig 's blood , but in the end was drenched with a mix of syrup and food colouring . His hair was perfectMost horror-comedies tend to overdo the comedy , leaving the horror elements light and limp . Not so here . Do n't get us wrong : it 's mighty funny , typically at the expense of the Brits , who are painted as either drunken townies or pretentious big city snobs . But no level of droll caricature can soften the visceral terror of watching David Naughton 's lupine transformation , which changed the game for the werewolf subgenre . No more Lon Chaney disappearing into the woods and returning with a fur mask . Instead , devised by effects genius Rick Baker , it 's depicted with skin-stretching , stomach-churning , literally-hair-raising realism typically reserved for nature documentaries or health class videos about childbirth . The initial transformation is so impressive the Academy Awards basically invented the Best Make-Up category just to properly honour Baker 's achievement , and if the movie had nothing else going for it , it would probably still make this list for that scene alone . But the whole thing is monstrously entertaining , and contains more than one bravura moment -- the beast 's climatic rampage through Piccadilly Circus is iconic in its own right . Hail to the king , babyIn which Bruce Campbell reveals himself to be the Fangoria generation 's answer to Buster Keaton . The Evil Dead had humour but it was still , at heart , a Video Nasty : that tree-rape scene tended to kill the chuckles . But in Evil Dead 2 , the fact that Raimi and Campbell had begun their career alternating between horror shorts and Three Stooges knockoffs paid massive dividends : this is without doubt the most successful blend of horror and comedy , and a classic in either field . The breakthrough moment comes midway , as Campbell 's own hand is possessed by an evil spirit , leading to some of the most jawdropping slapstick imaginable ( and a peerless Hemingway gag ) . But Raimi never forgets to keep the blood flowing : limbs fly , eyeballs explode , and you do n't even want to know what goes on in that woodshed . Friends do n't let friends teleportDavid Cronenberg 's delirious reimagining of that old story of a scientist whose experiments with teleportation lead to a nasty genetic mixup , The Fly is n't just one of the very finest horror movies , it 's also one of cinema 's great tragic romances . Charming , tentative and beautifully written , the initial relationship between leads Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis harks back to the screwball romances of old , which only makes Goldblum 's ensuing physical and mental degradation all the more horrifying to behold . In Cronenberg 's hands , this genetic disease becomes a forceful metaphor for everything bad you can imagine , from cancer , Aids and ageing to lost love and inexplicable heartbreak . Beautiful , sickening , exhilarating , savage , inspiring and inspired , The Fly is humanist cinema at its most non-human , and a master filmmaker 's finest hour . My bloody valentineIn the movies , vampirism is often employed as a metaphor for all sorts of tough subjects , from drug addiction to AIDS . In this Scandinavian insta-classic , it 's used to explore a less grim but more broadly relatable experience : adolescent loneliness . Oskar ( Hedebrant ) is a pre-teen outcast living in an icy Swedish suburb who forges a strong bond with a girl named Eli ( Leandersson ) who does n't seem to have many other friends either , for reasons that are both similar and drastically different . ' I 'm 12 , ' she tells him . ' But I 've been 12 for a long time . ' Named after a Morrissey song , the film looks and feels like one , too : cold yet moving , morose yet romantic . Its tone ( and landscape ) is frigid but the emotions are warm -- Alfredson handles the young friendship with great sensitivity , and turns in something closer to the Dardenne brothers than a true horror movie , despite containing at least one very memorable dismembering . And yet , it 's one of the most effective uses of vampire mythology ever made . The American remake is n't half-bad either , but the original will make your heart swell as much as your skin crawl . Freddy 's coming for youIt 's arguably the single greatest set-up for a modern horror movie : a monster that invades your dreams , slashing away at your very psyche with his razor-fingered gloves . And while the franchise may have descended swiftly into self-parody -- they marketed Freddy Krueger dolls to pre-teens , if you recall -- the original remains one of the most daring , inventive and downright terrifying shockers of the last century . Wes Craven 's control over his material is absolute , and even a handful of low-rent , low-budget effects ca n't undermine the mounting air of existential , avant-garde dread . It 's also , lest we forget , the movie that made a studio : New Line Cinema were barely a glint in the indie scene 's eye when they forked out $1.8 million for Wes Craven to realise his delirious vision . Seven Nightmare sequels and little more than a decade later , they funded the entire Lord of the Rings ' trilogy . Cheers , Freddy . Love hurtsIt 's one of the great fake-outs in movie history . If you did n't know any better -- or if you 're unfamiliar with the work of deranged genius Takashi Miike -- for much of Audition 's runtime , you might think you were watching a staid romantic dramedy about a widower searching for a new wife via a fake casting call . Shoot , even if you are familiar with the Miike oeuvre , you 'd might think it an outlier in the canon of the guy known for such bloody disgusting displays as Ichi the Killer and The Happiness of the Katakuris , given how slow and unassuming and , frankly , boring the first half of the picture is . And then , just as you 've been lulled nearly to sleep , blammo : out comes the needles and piano wire , as the widower 's meek new bride turns out to be not so meek after all . That narrative curveball , though , is just one element that makes it a horror classic . Beneath its ultraviolent conclusion lies a piercing ( ahem ) critique of masculinity and gender roles in Japan . But anyway , we 've now said too much and you 've read too much -- but next time an unexpecting guest suggests something light to watch , throw this on and watch their face gradually grow pale . Things that go bump in the nightWith some horror movies , it 's all about context -- watch The Haunting on a well-lit afternoon and it 'll seem creaky , old-fashioned , even a bit silly . But watch it late at night , alone , and this might be the greatest ghost story of them all , in which the things going bump in the night are n't out there in the dark , but right inside the room -- or inside your mind . The use of wide angles is gorgeously unsettling -- director Robert Wise is clearly a student of Orson Welles , whose off-kilter influence is all over the film . Wise would return to terrify us again four years later with The Sound of Music -- a jack of all trades , indeed . Birth of a nationThe film that made it all happen , Murnau 's loose , unofficial adaptation of Stoker 's Dracula may not have been the first horror movie ( that honour probably goes to George Meli ? s 's Le Manoir du Diable ) but it 's certainly the most influential . So many keynotes of the genre emerge fully formed here : the use of light and shadow , threat and tension , beauty and ugliness , a man in grotesque make-up threatening an innocent girl . And what 's remarkable is that it remains a deeply unsettling piece of work : Schreck 's contorted performance , not to mention that hideous , batlike make-up , may be the film 's most iconic image , but the plague-of-rats scene is deeply unnerving too -- we can only imagine how it must have seemed to audiences emerging from the First World War . One of us , one of us ... Tod Browning 's pre-Code masterpiece is a movie at once years ahead of its time and difficult to imagine a major studio getting behind today . In telling the sordid tale of a circus troupe infiltrated by a gold-digging normie , Browning famously cast actual sideshow performers , including Siamese twins , a limbless man and a ' pinhead ' . At the time , it icked out audiences , pissed off MGM head Irving Thalberg and damaged Browning 's reputation -- and it 's easy to imagine the deluge of thinkpieces decrying it as ' exploitative ' that 'd come out if it was made now . But if Freaks were merely , well , a freak show , it 'd be thought of as little more than a historical curiosity . Instead , it treats the cast -- who , it must be said , are made for the camera in more ways than one -- with more humanity than many other filmmakers would have , then or now . Even in its terrifying climax , in which the troupe exacts chilling revenge against the conniving intruder in their midst , it 's made clear that the true monsters are n't the ones with physical deformities ... which probably upset theater-goers and Hollywood power players more than anything else . A genuine blockbuster upon release , Richard Donner 's contribution to the Satanic panic wave of the ' 70s and ' 80s sent mothers digging through their kid 's hair for the mark of the beast and forever made it impossible for anyone named Damien to go to the bank or order a drink at Starbucks without receiving a few raised eyebrows . While not nearly as artful as Rosemary 's Baby -- the other big movie about parents unwittingly raising the devil 's child , released a decade prior -- it is much more accessible , and no less eerie , even if its plotting is quite a bit sillier . After his own son dies during childbirth , an American diplomat ( a fully committed Gregory Peck ) swaps him with a recently orphaned newborn , somehow without his wife ( Lee Remick ) knowing , and within five years realises why the hospital chaplain was so quick to give the baby up . Peck sells it all with his perpetually furrowed ( and bushy ) brow , and the pacing is Jaws-level tight . And then there 's young Harvey Stephens as Damien , who does n't speak much , but whose face projects a mix of innocence and evil that 's genuinely unnerving . See you on the othersideDo funfair haunted houses still exist , or are they obsolete in this era of torture porn and human centipedes ? Either way , they 're the perfect comparison for Poltergeist , a film which draws you in , gooses you gleefully for two hours then spits you out the other side , quivering but happy . There 's nothing too nasty in this effects-packed ghost story -- the odd face-rip , the occasional pop-up corpse -- but the effect is more bracing and enjoyable than a hundred Hostels . The big question still surrounding the film , of course , is who really made the movie -- credited director Tobe Hooper , or Steven Spielberg , the producer whose hands-on approach led some observers to cry foul . There 's no doubt that Poltergeist looks and feels like a Spielberg movie , all suburban angst and shimmering God-light -- but it has a wholly Hooper-ish ferocity at points as well . Let 's call it a happy collaboration . A year later their footage was found ... Although the alleged anthropological footage of Cannibal Holocaust ( 1980 ) pre-dated Myrick and S ? nchez 's terrifying faux documentary by nearly two decades , this film made them the founding fathers of modern ' found footage ' horror . Shot for $50,000 in just eight days , it purports to show an edited version of the grainy , hand-held videotape shot by missing film students Heather , Josh and Michael , while investigating the Blair Witch legend in and around Burkittsville , Maryland . There are interviews with locals , footage of the trio getting hopelessly lost in the woods , and increasingly hysterical arguments . At night , inside their flimsy tent , they are assailed by creepy scuffling and eerie screams . Crucially , since neither director was a horror nerd , they cut a highly original path through the dark woods of our imagination . You can make it on your ownLow-budget DIY horror was already a force by 1981 -- the Texas Chain Saw Massacre folks had shown that you could make millions with an old camera , some enthusiastic friends and a few garden tools -- but the movie which took the movement to new heights was Raimi 's astonishing debut . Adapting their own short Within the Woods , childhood friends Raimi , producer Robert Tapert and star Campbell secured funding from local businesses and traipsed off to the forest to make one of the most ferocious , original and unrelenting horror movies of all time . Sure , it looks a little rough around the edges now ( and that still censored tree-rape scene is just unnecessarily vicious ) , but The Evil Dead remains an inspiration for first-time filmmakers , a testament to the power of plasticine , glue and gumption . Our feathered friendsAlong with Psycho , this loose spin on a Daphne du Maurier novella marked Hitchcock 's main foray into horror territory . The Birds sees pernicious flocks of birds follow a metropolitan , San Franciscan blonde ( Tippi Hedren ) to a sleepy coastal town , and it 's these winged creatures that terrify as Hedren fights to resist being pecked to death . Hitchcock often scares by suggestion as crows appear on telegraph wires and the noise of them becomes increasingly intense -- but he also shows full-on , unsettling aerial attacks , and the special effects for these scenes still endure . Psychologically , The Birds is perhaps not Hitchcock 's most fully realised film , but it 's certainly one of his most open as we are left to wonder why , exactly , Hedren 's fledgling romance with Rod Taylor and his claustrophobic relationship with his mum ( Jessica Tandy ) inspire such avian terror . Just imagine those birds in 3D . Did it just get cold in here ... ? Old fashioned in the best sense of the phrase , Medak 's oft-neglected supernatural thriller uses pure cinematic technique to scare the hell out of us . The magisterial Scott plays a well known composer who , following the death of his wife and son in a road accident , takes up a teaching job in Seattle and moves into an eerie , haunted Victorian house . Even the most hackneyed scenes , such as a s ? ance in which a scribbling medium attempts to contact the unquiet spirit of the murdered boy , are staged with consummate skill and emotional conviction . Guillermo del Toro maintains that the best ghost stories all have an undertow of melancholy . That 's certainly true here . Long live the new fleshCronenberg 's most prescient film explores , through the eyes and media-altered mind of sleazy cable television programmer Max Renn ( James Woods ) , the dangerous world imagined by the censors -- one in which exposure to extreme images destroys the viewer 's ability to distinguish between plastic reality and perverse fantasy . As the late-night Videodrome channel 's violent imagery distorts Max 's perception , we are forced to share his subjective point of view . So we ca n't be sure if his sado-masochistic relationship with Nicki Brand ( Blondie singer Harry ) is any more real than the vagina-like orifice that has opened up in his stomach . And when Max slots a video tape into this corporeal opening , flesh and technology meld into one . ' You have to learn to live with a strange new reality , ' insists self-styled media evangelist Brian O'Blivion . And how . Watch out boy , she 'll chew you upThe idea of horror as an act of political or cultural subversion may have gained traction in the ' 70s , but it 's been there all along : what is Shelley 's Frankenstein if not a satire on class ? The message in Jacques Tourneur 's eerily beautiful Cat People may be more subtle , but it 's equally persuasive : this is a study of the innate power of female sexuality , and how suppressing that power can force it to burst forth in unexpected and dangerous ways . Simone Simon plays Irena , A Serbian immigrant whose repressive childhood -- involving , the film implies , sexual abuse -- causes her to transform into a deadly panther in moments of arousal . The film 's power lies in the way Tourneur subtly explores these themes without ever crossing the line of taste , or losing sight of the emotional tragedy at the story 's core . Where 's your head at ? Like The Babadook , it 's the disruption of domesticity and family trauma that haunts Hereditary , the debut film from writer-director Ari Aster . Toni Collette plays Annie , an artist who constructs uncannily realistic dioramas : miniature rooms that embody the film 's theme of a larger , malevolent entity playing with human toys . Her family is on the brink , with teenager stoner son Peter ( Alex Wolff ) and creepy daughter Charlie ( played expertly by Milly Shapiro ) becoming increasingly more disturbed as the film progresses . After a catastrophic and stomach-churning accident , the film takes another turn , forcing the viewer to take a leap of faith as a mother 's grief merges with the supernatural . Thankfully , Aster manages it with his gift of exquisite camera placement and generous patience ; he 's not merely a summoner of Kubrickian chill but also brings empathy . She 's alive ! Is Bride of Frankenstein the best film inspired by Mary Frankenstein 's nineteenth-century bone-chiller ? Time Out 's panel of experts voted it so . Director Whale tried to duck out of making a follow-up to his 1931 hit Frankenstein , but the studio turned the screws and Whale caved , declaring that if he must make another film , it would be a real ' hoot ' . But while Bride is full of camp , sly humour , Karloff 's return as the lumbering monster is also incredibly moving . Dr Frankenstein has given up playing God and tinkering with cadavers , but his dastardly mentor Praetorious blackmails him into creating a mate ( Lanchester ) for the monster . Legendary make-up ace Jack Pierce 's look for the Bride -- barbed wire scars , diva make-up , frizzed out hair streaked with lightening bolts -- and Lanchester 's jolting movements , eerily innocent , make this an American gothic to remember . Haunted dancehallHerk Harvey 's Carnival of Souls may not be the scariest movie ever made , but it 's certainly one of the eeriest . An insidiously cheap creepshow that feels like it 's being projected directly from your nightmares ( Harvey used an Arriflex camera -- typically used for newsreels -- as a cost-cutting measure , adding an unsettling edge of realism ) , the film tells the barebones story of a woman who loses a drag race by driving off a bridge and into the river below . She survives the accident , but comes to with no memory of what transpired . And that 's when things get weird . Casting himself as the face of inexplicable evil and slowly dismantling any semblance of logic , Harvey creates a purgatorial dead-end where every turn just leads deeper into the darkness . In the process , he paved the way for Eraserhead and other experimental , micro-budget terrors . Island strifeFifty years old and as chillingly essential as ever , Robin Hardy 's landmark folk horror is an offering to the cinematic gods that required a sacrifice or two of its own just to get made on Scotland 's tropical west coast back in 1972 . But if its path to the screen was almost as rocky as the journey Edward Woodward 's Presbyterian policeman makes through the pagan community of Summerisle -- its four different cuts are testament to a brutal post-production battle -- the toil and pain is nowhere to be found in its creepily unfolding tale of dawning terror . Christopher Lee rated his performance as the suave , menacing Lord Summerisle , a cult leader who 'd probably have ten million YouTube subscribers these days , one of his finest , while Woodward essays a clenched , tormented man of faith , whose doggedness leaves him blindsided , trapped and doomed . The ending , of course , needs no introduction , if a whole lot of recovering from . Gods and monstersThe door opens and the monster lumbers in , taking his first unsteady baby steps . He 's alive ! But as he turns to the face the camera , there 's a ghoulish deadness behind his eyes . How we picture Frankenstein 's monster is defined by make-up legend Jack Pierce 's handiwork : those neck-bolts , the flat head , the sunken eyes . In 1932 the audience was expecting Bela Lugosi as the Monster , but he 'd been dropped by the studio ( and Lugosi himself had disapproved of the way the script turned Mary Shelley 's philosophising creation into a non-speaking part ) . Boris Karloff , then a relative unknown , was cast by on-the-rise director James Whale , who also brought to Frankenstein his trademark dry wit . Not that his film lacks scares , and a scene in which a farmer carries the limp body of his daughter through a village celebrating Frankenstein 's wedding is still deeply shocking . Flaying alivePedro Almod ? var 's The Skin I Live In was inspired in part by Franju 's clinical , monochrome movie about an obsessive professor of plastic surgery . With the help of his lover/assistant , Louise ( Valli ) , Professeur G ? nessier ( Brasseur ) abducts and peels the faces off young women . He then grafts the victims ' flayed visage on his daughter Christiane 's badly scarred face , which in the meantime is hidden and protected by a featureless plastic mask . Effectively imprisoned by her father , who feels responsible for the car accident in which she was disfigured , the infantilised Christiane is like a caged baby bird waiting to find its wings . There were reports of audience members fainting during the facial surgery scenes , but for Franju this was a tale of anguish rather than a horror movie per se . One pill makes you larger ... A surprise entry on this list , Lyne 's psychedelic post-'Nam comedown thriller seems to have fallen from favour in recent years , but has evidently managed to stick in the minds of horror experts . In a decisive and unexpected break from his then-popular goofy-dweeb persona , Robbins plays Jacob , a worn-out war veteran whose mind begins to fragment once the conflict is over . Is he going crazy , or are there darker forces at work ? Beautifully designed by Fatal Attraction helmer Lyne , Jacob 's Ladder feels like an offbeat slice of post-hippy experimentation retooled for the MTV generation : what it lacks in depth and subtlety , it more than makes up for in shock tactics and woozy unpredictability , all anchored in Robbins 's wide-eyed and pitiable central turn . Breaking up is hard to doA disorienting depiction of the psychological ravages of divorce -- with a dash of Cronenbergian body horror -- Polish director Andrzej Zulawski 's unnervingly intense film seems to be the one suffering from some kind of demonic possession . He keeps his camera swirling around Mark ( Neill ) and Anna ( Adjani ) , the disintegrating couple at the movie 's centre , conveying their shared madness by capturing them in increasingly tight close-ups . Adjani , in particular , legitimately disturbs as a wife at her breaking point , screeching and crying like Shelley Duvall in The Shining channeling Diamanda Galas . In one remarkable scene in a subway station , Adjani whips herself into a convulsive ballet before collapsing to the ground in a pool of blood and other fluids . Like the film itself , it is bravely unhinged . Ghosts of the civil deadA smaller-scale companion piece to Pan 's Labyrinth , Guillermo del Toro 's The Devil 's Backbone also follows children through the fog of the Spanish Civil War . Unfolding as a gothic mystery with shades of Lord of the Flies , it 's a film dripping with mesmerising , threatening imagery : an unexploded bomb creaking in a schoolyard , a ghostly boy whose cracked skull seeps blood upward into the ether . Like the supremely creepy , del Toro-produced The Orphanage , we 're soon to discover that the ghosts are the least sinister thing lurking in damp cellars and crumbling corridors . It 's a film that lingers with you , and one that makes you wish that the now Oscar-winning auteur would revisit his roots as a master of small-scale horrors with huge emotional weight . It 's all in the mindIt 's hard to watch Swedish actor von Sydow as a tortured artist in Bergman 's portrait of a man in deep crisis without thinking of the same actor 's self-mocking act as a troubled painter in Woody Allen 's Hannah and her Sisters ( 1986 ) . This is deadly serious though : the real and imagined sit side by side and haunt each other as von Sydow 's demons take over the imagery and mood of the film as his wife ( Ullman ) recalls this terrible period in her life . Conceived alongside Persona , Bergman offers the full horror of an artist 's breakdown and crumbling of his marriage ( and perhaps his wife 's mind too ) -- all of which is presented , at times , as a full-on Gothic nightmare , with characters walking on ceilings , men appearing in hallucinations as birds and a gruesome flashback in which Von Sydow 's character remembers attacking a young boy with a rock . Haunting -- and even more so when you discover it emerged from Bergman 's own demons and nervous breakdown in the mid-1960s . Roman ? clefWhat is it about Polanski and confined spaces ? With Repulsion , Rosemary 's Baby and finally this Paris-set film , the Polish director proved himself a master of turning the humble flat into frightening domestic terrain . Here , Polanski himself plays a man who moves into an empty apartment , previously occupied by a woman who attempted suicide , and finds himself at the centre of a paranoid storm in which his neighbours are increasingly accusing and vicious towards him -- causing his mental state to worsen as it becomes less and less clear exactly what 's real and what 's not . The Tenant may be set in the present , but it 's hard not to impose the horror of Polanski 's own childhood experiences in the Warsaw ghetto on to this story of the walls closing in on one man 's world . He 'd like to have you for dinner ! Ah yes , the famous biopic of the late , great gentleman cannibal , Hannibal Lecter . No , he did n't actually exist , but you can almost forgive certain mush-brained politicians for seeming to think he did . Anthony Hopkins is chillingly believable in the role , playing him not as a brute or monster , like most serial killers to that point , but as a man of manners , intelligent as he is unfeeling . He is not the only reason Jonathan Demme 's Oscar-winner succeeds : Jodie Foster is equally mesmerising as the FBI agent staring the devil in the eye and trying not to flinch . And he 's not even the biggest sicko in the movie . But his presence permeates the entire film , even as he spends most of it in prison -- and inceed , it can still be felt today , from movies like Longlegs to the presidential candidates invoking his name , hoping to terrify voters into submission . Jersey devilNicole Kidman plays the mother of two young children who have a photo-sensitive disorder that forces them to stay indoors in this distinctly grown-up ghost story set on the island of Jersey in 1945 . With hints of 1951 's The Innocents ( itself based on Henry James 's The Turn of the Screw ) , Spanish writer-director Alejandro Amenabar upsets the equilibrium of this family 's prim , proper lives by introducing a trio of new servants to the house ( Eric Sykes plays a gardener ) with whom arrive a series of low-key but upending supernatural goings-on . The scares here are incremental and subtle , driven not by outright terror but by doors that close themselves or pianos that play on their own . This is mature psychological horror , built on intelligence and an alluring , solid foundation of old-fashioned craft . Do n't be a dummyIt 's Redgrave as a ventriloquist possessed by his own dummy that most people rightly remember about this Ealing Studios anthology of horror yarns , woven together as a series of tales told by guests at a tea party at a remote cottage . The tales themselves vary in quality , but the talent involved -- the cream of Ealing -- remains impressive . As well as the ventriloquist 's episode , the other strong segment is directed by Robert Hamer ( It Always Rains on Sunday ) and features a mirror that reflects another time and place . For this story , a husband ( Michael ) is possessed , dragged into the mirror and inspired to try and kill his wife ( Withers ) . Horror disappeared from cinemas during the war , so this marked a return to screens for the genre . Vote for the green partyIt 's gratifying to see both Body Snatchers movies on this list : Don Siegel 's 1956 original may be punchier and more bracing , but Philip The Right Stuff Kaufman 's ' 70s remake is funnier and more self-aware . While the original movie was ( depending on who you believe ) an examination of either McCarthyist conformity or encroaching communism , the remake takes things into weirder , more oblique territory , lampooning the fallout from the ' 60s ideal with its lentils-and-beansprouts nature freaks and its bandwagon-jumping psychotherapy converts . Plus , it 's an absolutely terrific horror movie : the scene where Sutherland smashes up a gestating pod-person with a rake is gruesome as hell , but it 's that famously devastating closing shot that really chills the blood . Who 's that girl ? It is possibly the scariest scene in cinema history : ( spoiler alert ! ) a man watches a video in which a ghostly figure in white , long black hair pulled witchily over her face , crawls like nothing human out of a well and then just keeps coming , out of his TV and into the real world ... Ring is a masterpiece of fear and atmospheric terror . A journalist ( Nanako Matsushima ) is investigating a rumour that 's spreading like wildfire among teenagers about a spooky VHS . Everyone who has watched the video , so the story goes , dies seven days later . The drip , drip , drip of dread of Hideo Nakata 's film will turn your stomach to ice -- it 's not for nothing that Ring is highest grossing horror in Japanese film history . The eye of the beholderMade the same year as Psycho -- another film about a deranged single man -- this was the film that brought Powell 's career to a premature halt , so upsetting did his contemporaries find the story of a young photographer and filmmaker who disguises a murder weapon as a camera in order to trap and kill women . In retrospect , Mark Lewis ( B ? hm ) remains a disturbing figure and his screen murders have an intimate cruelty to them -- Shearer 's demise in an empty film studio is especially horrible . But surely it was the most modern elements of the film -- the suggestion that the camera itself is so invasive and predatory as to ' kill ' and the idea that Lewis is playing out a childhood trauma -- that alienated viewers in the early 1960s and caused Powell 's critics to grumble instead about its portrayal of semi-naked prostitutes ? This is a great horror film about the horror of cinema itself . Way down in the holesIf it was only about a group of thrill-seeking women lost in a subterranean cave system , Neil Marshall 's intensely uncomfortable survival thriller would still make this list for the sheer claustrophobia it evokes . Adding a race of flesh-craving humanoid mole-rats to the mix almost feels unfair , to both the protagonists and the nervous systems of everyone watching . Marshall 's film arrived a few years before the so-called ' horror renaissance ' , but it deserves mention alongside A Quiet Place and The Conjuring for reminding audiences how fun a well-executed genre picture can be , even when it 's this suffocatingly stressful . Just remember to breathe -- it 's remarkable how easy it is to forget . Sister actIn lesser hands , the wild theatrics and camp stylings of Ken Russell 's story of religious persecution and demonic possession in seventeenth-century France would turn The Devils into no more than a fleshy , hysterical romp . But what 's brilliant about The Devils is that Russell achieves a real , serious sense of fear and claustrophobia alongside the ample lunacy . Partly that 's down to Reed 's reserved performance -- compared , at least , to the madness around him -- which means that when his character , Father Grandier , is finally tortured we feel the full horror of corrupt government and wayward religious fervour directed towards him . That said , The Devils is also hugely fun , from Derek Jarman 's immense , overwhelming set design to Vanessa Redgrave 's vulnerable , possessed performance as Sister Jeanne . In March 2012 , the BFI finally released The Devils on DVD as part of an impressive two-disc package : a fitting tribute to Russell , who died in November 2011 . Spaghetti slasherArgento fans have a tendency to divide into two camps : those who prefer his relatively straightforward , plot-driven early giallo thrillers and those who revel in the surrealistic beauty of his post-Suspiria dream-movies . Deep Red is the film which unites the two camps , combining propulsive narrative intrigue with a series of kill scenes more elaborate and expressionistic than anything the director had yet attempted . Thanks in large part to two likeable lead performances -- Hemmings and Nicolodi have a real rapport as the amateur sleuths on the trail of a serial murderer -- it 's also Argento 's most breezily enjoyable film , chucking in a fistful of witty , satirical attacks on Italian masculinity and some of the finest prog-fusion freakouts ever committed to tape . Daddy issuesSeveral movies on this list confront the fear of parenthood , usually manifesting in the birth of the spawn of Satan . Of course , David Lynch being David Lynch , he expresses his anxiety over becoming a father a bit differently : with a hallucinatory stress dream involving a screeching lizard baby . Shot in gauzy black-and-white , the director 's debut feature adheres to the nightmare logic that would become his signature , but you do n't have to be Sigmund Freud to decipher its meaning . In many ways , it remains Lynch 's most personal film -- and while he continued to work at the edges of horror , the rawness of the imagery makes it arguably his most terrifying . The girl ca n't help itPolanski once said in an interview that Repulsion is one of the films he made as ' matters of convenience ' . In this case he was on his uppers -- flat broke in London -- and was offered the chance to make a horror film . Which does n't tell the half of it . Has there been a more dread-filled study of mental collapse ? Catherine Deneuve plays a repressed young Belgian woman , Carole , who lives in London with her sister and works as a manicurist . ' Give me Revlon 's fire and ice , ' says one of her dowager customers . Fire and ice : it could be a description of Deneuve 's on screen presence , her secretive and chilliness . All around Carole , London is upbeat , going places . The youth are about to quake . In her flat cracks appear in the walls and Carole drifts off into fugues and finally psychosis . The noise of everyday life is deafening , Polanski piercing the subconscious to poke at what lies beneath . A **42;2040;TOOLONG comedy-thriller for the agesBumbling cops and restrictive bureaucracy are constants in South Korean cinema , but few films contrast the pull between modern law enforcement and ancient evil with as deft a hand as The Wailing . Director Na Hong-jin proved to be a master at upending expectations with his serial-killer potboiler The Chaser , but nothing he pulled off in that underseen gem holds a candle to the tightrope walked here . Part folk-horror , part demonic-possession hair-curler and part pitch-black procedural comedy , The Wailing takes its time , unspooling across 156 richly detailed , skin-crawlingly meticulous minutes . The less you know the better : This is a film that lulls you with its beauty , then sears your eyeballs with reckless abandon . ShyamalanadingdongIt 's been endlessly parodied and director M Night Shyalaman 's career has gone seriously off the boil since . But The Sixth Sense brought ghostly chills ( this is far from the gory end of horror ) to an approving mass audience . Even now it feels wrong to reveal the twist on which the film is built , so we wo n't . Suffice to say that the film 's power derives from ultimately being an acute and acutely strange study of grief and its fallout . Child star Haley Joel Osment ( what happened to him ? ) plays a young boy who can see and talk to the dead ( ' I see dead people ' now up there with ' I 'll have what she 's having ' in the movie-quote pantheon ) , while Bruce Willis plays the psychologist who attempts to diagnose his condition . It 's so effective because Shyalaman manages not to reveal the truth until very late on and , crucially , make it feel credible when he does . Gone girlIt 's a simple premise : a man 's girlfriend disappears from a rest stop without a trace , and the mystery of what happened to her consumes him to the point of near madness . But what makes Dutch director George Sluizer 's psychological thriller so successfully frightening is how it pushes us to the verge of insanity , making it so easy for us to imagine ourselves in the same horrifying situation . It leads to a dangerous bargain , and one of the most unshakeable , don't-you-dare-spoil-it endings in movie history . Why Sluizer would remake the film in America and change his own brilliant climax is another act of madness altogether . Pack up your troublesBased on traditional Japanese folk tales and filmed in ravishing wide-screen on hand-painted sets , these four stories -- of raven-haired women , beautiful female spectres , blind singing monks and ghostly samurai warriors -- created a template for much of the indigenous supernatural cinema that would follow . The eternally youthful wife in The Black Hair , in particular , prefigures the many raven-haired women with shadowed ivory faces found in modern J-horror movies such as Ringu . Kobayashi 's stylised use of colour is more symbolic than naturalistic , and coupled with the avant garde electronic score by Toru Takemitsu , which also incorporates sampled natural sounds , it generates both a haunting atmosphere and some subtle supernatural chills . The first bite is the deepestIn 1932 , the New York Times 's film critic was not impressed . Vampyr , he declared , was ' one of the worst films ' he 'd ever seen , but added grudgingly that director Carl Dreyer could always be relied upon to be ' different ' . And Vampyr is different , a film like no other . Dreyer spun his cinematic nightmare from two stories from a Sheridan Le Fanu collection . It stars Nicolas de Gunzburg ( a Russian aristocrat who bankrolled the film , appearing under the alias Julian West ) as an occult-obsessed young man who visits a French village haunted by a vampire . The lord of the manor dies and his young daughter is gravely ill , bite wounds to her neck . His intention , said Dreyer , was ' to create a daydream on the screen and to show that the horrific is not to be found around us , but in our own unconscious mind . ' And Vampyr is often compared to a waking dream , full of strange hallucinatory images that strike dread in audiences even today . Whatever you witness ... never stop recordingA rare found-footage film that actually makes sense , Spanish export Rec possesses an eerie prescience in its story of a group of firefighters and a news crew locked in a quarantined apartment building . The dread is palatable from the onset , but once the mysteriously infected tenants start gnashing their teeth , the film grabs viewers by the throat in a way few modern zombie yarns do . Taking a cue from George A Romero , Rec wrings endless tension from its single location , amping up the dread ( and gruesome kills ) with a sprinkling of religious horror in its fevered sprint to a breathless finale . Schools out foreverThere 's much fun to be had with French filmmaker Clouzot 's boarding school-set puzzler from 1955 , a suspenseful comic tease with added frights . First , there are the grotesque characters , each horrific enough in their own way , from the boo-hiss headmaster ( Paul Meurisse ) to his nervy wife ( Vera Clouzot ) and bullish mistress ( Signoret ) . Clouzot has been tagged the ' French Hitchcock ' , and it 's a fair enough comparison : like his British counterpart , he allows for ample playfulness amid the scares . Apart from being compelling right to the final frame , the main reason why Les Diaboliques deserves a place in this list is the way that Clouzot continually upends us with the ambiguous aftermath of the headmaster 's murder -- as well as how he pulls off an unforeseeable scare late in the day . Sleep , little ones , sleepCharles Laughton 's only work as a director may be terrifying , but is it really a horror film ? That uncertainty is doubtless the reason for its low placing in this list , because there 's no question about the film 's quality : this is a near-perfect example of pure cinema . There are strong ties to the genre : Robert Mitchum plays Harry Powell , a murderous preacher whose pursuit of hidden booty leads him to hunt down a pair of hapless orphaned children through a mystical Southern dreamscape . But more than half a century after it was made , The Night of the Hunter continues to shrug off attempts at easy categorisation : if it 's a horror movie , then it 's also an adventure story , a crime thriller , a coming-of-age drama and a fairy tale . One thing remains certain , however : it 's a masterpiece . Non-schlock mock doc shock ! A surprise entry on our list , this appallingly titled micro-budget Australian offering made waves at the SXSW film festival in 2006 , then promptly vanished off the radar . But somebody was clearly paying attention , because it 's crashed into our top 100 . Told in mock-doc style , the film recounts the eerie , possibly supernatural events that occurred in the remote Aussie town of Ararat following a tragic drowning at the local reservoir . There 's nothing groundbreaking here , but the photography is beautiful , the performances strong and the moments of unease are brilliantly handled and genuinely spooky . Listen hard , and you might just be able to hear Paranormal Activity director Oren Peli frantically scribbling notes . All I have to do is dreamOutside the arthouse , horror is the only cinematic genre where pure surrealism is not only acceptable but expected -- and there are few more graphic examples than Fulci 's bonkers bayou bloodbath The Beyond . There 's a plot of sorts , but it 's fairly standard : a young woman inherits a hotel which happens to have been built over a gateway to hell . But this is merely a loose framework within which Fulci goes all out to upset and horrify his audience : faces melt inexplicably , tarantulas rip out human tongues , zombies rise from the grave , eyes are repeatedly torn out . The result is more accurately nightmarish than almost any other film on this list , a true descent into the depths of meaningless , unpredictable , terrifyingly beautiful horror , with a scorpion-sharp sting in the tail . Ghosts in the machineKurosawa 's cautionary philosophical tale uses the familiar tropes of dystopian sci-fi and supernatural horror to explore an internet-fixated world where online communication has eroded social cohesion , replacing personal relationships and human communication with alienated loneliness . Soul-sucking spectres appear online and spread like a virus . Seduced by cryptic messages asking , ' Do you want to meet a ghost ? ' , obsessive internet users abandon friends , family and colleagues . Withdrawing from the world , they become lethargic , depressed and ultimately suicidal . Tokyo slides towards a state of spiritual decay and social entropy . Wes Craven had a writing credit on director Jim Sonzero 's 2006 remake , which retained the original 's morbid atmosphere and apocalyptic ending but precious little else . The original Japanese title , Kairo , means ' circuit ' . Vive le difference ! The retro stylings of this Gallic shocker testify to a prodigious knowledge of old school slasher and giallo films , matched by a knowing , modern cinematic sensibility that gives an extra twist to the remorseless terrorising of De France and Le Besco 's holidaying students . One senses that things wo n't end well when we first see Gaspar No ? ' s favourite actor , Nahon , fellating himself with a woman 's severed head . The imaginatively gruesome killings and chase scenes come thick and fast and the nerve-jangling sound design exacerbates the tension , making it virtually unbearable . Then , with one staggeringly ill-judged and gob-smackingly offensive plot twist , the entire film falls apart . Aja 's tendency towards unreconstructed , old-school chauvinism surfaced again in his remakes of The Hills Have Eyes and Piranha , though in a more humorous vein . ' Did ye make some unholy bond with that goat ? ' The Lighthousedirector Robert Eggers ' made one of the most explosive cinematic debuts of all time with this artful slow-burner occupying a swirling vortex of religious zealotry , colonial hubris and black magic . Bathed in the iridescent light of oil lamps and often taking on the look of centuries-old woodcuts , The Witch is a marvel of craftsmanship , from the period-accurate dialogue to the rustic sets . It 's a horrifying ordeal , with breakout performances by Anya Taylor-Joy and young Harvey Scrimshaw grounding an escalating tale of exiled settlers overcome by paranoia . As the film spins out into a deranged finale , a sinister voice asks ' wouldst thou like to live deliciously ? ' Given the horrors that unfold up to that point , it 's a sumptuous proposition . Devil in disguiseJacques Tourneur never intended to show the audience the demon that terrorises his Night of the Demon . But producer Hal E Chester insisted the flaming beast make two personal appearances to bookend this tale of an American psychologist , Dr Holden ( Andrews ) , a world-renowned paranormal sceptic . He 's in London to debunk a devil cult , whose apparently avuncular leader , Dr. Julian Karswell ( MacGinnis ) , he takes for a harmless fake ( he should really be paying more attention to Karswell 's devilish goatee ) . Tourneur was right about the monster -- it 's B-movie silly . But the French-born director knew his business and elsewhere gives an object lesson in frightening the audience out their seats with the mere placing of a hand on a banister . Scriptwriter Charles Bennett was likewise enraged by the demon : ' If Chester , the producer walked up my driveway right now , I 'd shoot him dead . ' The mummy 's curseThe territory where scary movies overlap with social realism remains largely unexplored by filmmakers . Horror has traditionally been a genre bent on entertainment -- however twisted -- and so reminders of real-world tragedy tend to stifle the fun . So props to first-time filmmaker Jennifer Kent for never shying away from her central character 's predicament : yes , our heroine Amelia is being stalked by something supernatural , but we 're never sure if it 's made the life of this grieving single mother appreciably worse . And as women continue to be shut out of filmmaking roles , how satisfying that The Babadook was one of the best-reviewed horror movies of the decade so far . More than just the ' sunken place'Horror films are at their best when the fear stems from the human condition itself . It 's what makes Jordan Peele 's Get Out one of the most essential cinematic outings in recent memory . Starring British actor Daniel Kaluuya ( yep , the guy out of Skins ) as Chris , a photographer accompanying his white girlfriend ( Williams ) for a weekend with her parents that turns sour , the film 's terror comes from the mirror it holds up to society 's continuing threat of racism . Utilising the horror trope of isolated suburbs , Peele subverts expectations , distinctly carving out a new niche in the genre that 's equal parts horror , comedy and social commentary . The sinister ' sunken place ' has resonated so much that it 's now part of cultural lexicon . What 's so unsettling about Peele 's film , however , is just how zeitgeisty it remains . Hate crimeIf every generation gets the zombies its deserves , what would ours be like ? Full of rage was the answer Danny Boyle came up with in 28 Days Later ... , in which a group of animal liberation militants free lab chimps infected with a fatal virus . The disease quickly spreads through the British population , turning people into berserk zombies . One month later , in a London hospital , bicycle courier Jim ( Cillian Murphy ) wakes up from a coma , to find London cloaked in an unearthly silence . There are scenes here that will send a shiver down your spine , such as the swarm of rats running in terror from an approaching undead horde . But the real horror begins when Jim and his band of survivors reach the ' safety ' of a group of soldiers barricaded in a stately mansion up north . Trapped in the closetThere was no way director Robert Wiene could 've known how disturbingly prescient his masterpiece of art-horror would turn out to be . A tale of hypnotism , hysteria and multiple murder set in a twisted , folksy German landscape filtered through the disturbed imagination of a madman , its fractured landscapes reflect the shattered psyche of a nation in defeat , but they also prefigure the greater horrors to come . And almost a century later , at least one sequence here remains genuinely frightening : the midnight attack on a helpless young woman by a shambling , somnambulant strangler . The ending , too , still shocks : the whole world is a madhouse , Wiene is saying , so who 's really sane ? The little deathBava 's ghoulish small-town ghost story may feel a little tame following the explicit eeriness of his groundbreaking Black Sunday , but Kill , Baby ... Kill ! is still a radical and unsettling work . When a coroner is called to a small town to inspect the corpse of a maid , he finds a silver coin inserted into her heart . The village is suffering under an ancient curse -- and those who speak out about it meet bloody and untimely ends . Embracing the opportunity to shoot in full colour , Bava creates a lurid , entrancing dream-world which clearly informed the work of Argento and Fulci , and indeed any director interested in exploring otherworldly ideas : one scene , where the hero seems to pursue a vision of himself , is an almost shot-for-shot antecedent of David Lynch 's disturbing final episode of Twin Peaks . Perfect weather for ducksBelieved lost for over 30 years , they found The Old Dark House in the Universal Studios vaults in 1968 . Thank goodness ! What a tragedy it would have been to lose this deliciously ghoulish comedy of manners . The film was adapted from JB Priestley 's novel Benighted , and sees a young couple , a chorus girl , a war veteran and a gruff self-made industrialist take shelter in a tumbledown Welsh mansion during a rainstorm . Its inmates , the Femm family , are quite frankly bonkers . Head of the household is Horace ( a juicily camp turn by Thesiger : ' It 's only gin . I like gin , ' ) , who 's constantly bickering with his batty , deaf sister . Upstairs , their 101- year-old dad is bedridden and Saul their pyromaniac brother is locked in the attic , while Morgan the mad butler ( Karloff ) is getting fighting-drunk in the kitchen . Full of acid wit and howlingly funny , The Old Dark House is one of the most giddily glorious films you 're ever likely to see . Sorority sisters in pre-slasher slay ride shockerA low-budget Canadian precursor of the ' seasonal slasher ' cycle that was kicked into gear by the success of Halloween four years later , Clark 's imaginatively nasty film traps a group of college students in a snow-dusted sorority house , where they are terrorised by an obscene phone caller before being bumped off one by one . Anticipating many now familiar conventions , Clark cranks up the level of threat through his pioneering use of prowling shots from the psycho killer 's point of view , reinforced here by a discordant sound design . A sparky , pre-Superman Margot Kidder gives as good as she gets , but it 's hard to tell which , if any , of the girls will survive this Yuletide slay ride . Clark also pulls off a wicked plot twist near the end , a flourish that 's simple yet devastatingly effective . Untempered SteeleFor students of horror , 1960 is remembered as the year of Peeping Tom and Psycho . But Bava 's monochrome masterpiece Black Sunday fully deserves to be set alongside them : while Hitchcock and Powell were revolutionizing the genre by bringing the terror closer to home , Bava was doing almost the opposite , creating a boldly imaginative and dreamlike world inspired by the Universal classics , while at the same time using groundbreaking special effects to ensure that the horrors depicted on screen were more graphically disturbing than ever before . Black Sunday is a film crammed with surreal and still shocking imagery : while it 's most famous for the opening scene in which a spiked mask is hammered onto the face of dark witch Barbara Steele , there are many more wonderfully nasty sights to behold , from an empty eye socket crawling with maggots to a walking corpse who looks suspiciously like Sonny Bono . Skinless wonderFrom the disturbed imagination of gifted British fabulist Clive Barker comes a Faustian pact with a difference , involving a mysterious puzzle-box , a painful rebirth and the diet of human flesh needed to put the skin back on the flayed muscle of jaded sensualist Frank 's resurrected body . By solving the puzzle , Frank enters the world of exquisite cruelty presided over by Pinhead ( Bradley ) and his fellow Cenobites -- glamorous sadists with a penchant for ripped flesh and transcendent pain . Despite Barker 's determination to ' embrace the monstrous ' , the fetishistic appeal of the Cenobites goes hand in hand with an atmosphere of clammy , mind-warping dread . The unsettling moral ambiguities of Frank 's relationship with his ex-lover Julia ( now his brother 's wife ) resonate far more than the conventional sub-plot involving his teenage niece Kirsty . Play misty for meIf Halloween was an urban legend come to life , its follow-up was John Carpenter 's stab at an old-fashioned campfire tale . It even begins , Princess Bride-style , with three kids bundled up by a roaring blaze as John Houseman 's salty sea-dog recounts the eerie tale of how , a century ago , a mysterious mist rolled into the town of Antonio Bay , sparking an act of shipwrecking criminality that will someday come back to haunt the townsfolk ... A critical flop on first release , The Fog is n't as bold or brutal as its predecessor -- but it was n't meant to be . This is a film of lurking shadows and creeping gloom , unfashionably cosy in its dedication to the Victorian tradition of ghostly goings-on . It 's a film to be watched alone , lights out , with a mug of steaming cocoa . Virgin on the ridiculousThere 's nothing wrong with a messy horror movie -- flying limbs , cardboard monsters , terrible acting . But there 's something uniquely pleasurable -- and unsettling -- about a scary movie where every shot , every line , every beat of music feels painstakingly composed to scare the bejesus out of you . It Follows is a prime example : for every second of this sparse , precise story of supernatural stalkers in suburbia , you know that writer-director David Robert Mitchell has both hands firmly on the wheel . You 're just never sure where he 's driving you . Wolfing aroundThe best teenage werewolf movie , period . Womens ' bodies have always been a prime source of fascination for horror cinema , from the animal sexuality of Cat People to let's-not-go-there modern shockers like Teeth . But the best of the bunch has to be this crafty Canadian werewolf movie , in which a teenage girl 's first period is swiftly followed by a wild dog attack -- and a series of terrifying but strangely thrilling physical transformations . The film is also notable for its smart , Buffy-ish observations on teenage life , before the conflation of high school trauma and supernatural horror became a clich ? . A word of warning , though : the unnecessary sequels are best avoided . Silence is goldenMichael Bay does n't appear on too many ' greatest films ' lists , so it 's only fair to give the Don of Destruction some credit for helping spawn this creature-feature classic as producer . A Quiet Place follows a family 's attempts to survive in a post-apocalyptic world patrolled by an alien species that hunts by sound , like some kind of satanic land dolphin . In many ways , it 's the antithesis of a Michael Bay movie : instead of noise , there 's silence ; instead of berserk action , there 's stillness . It just makes the experience all the more terrifying . **32;2084;TOOLONG John Krasinski shows an almost Hitchcockian command of tension as the slightest creak or spillage can bring slathering hell-beasts raining down from the surrounding countryside . Emily Blunt , meanwhile , steals the show in front of the camera : the childbirth scene , in particular , will never leave you . A cult classicHereditary director Ari Aster once described Midsommar as ' The Wizard of Oz for perverts , ' but it could just as easily be called ' The Wicker Man on psilocybin . ' Yet for all its horror , Midsommar has a lot on its mushroom-addled mind than pulverised skulls and flayed torsos ( though there 's that too ) . It 's also a surprisingly funny tale of ugly American hubris , an oddly affirming feminist break-up story and meandering thinkpiece about the collision of modern culture and ancient traditions , with Florence Pugh delivering a career-defining performance steeped in grief , confusion , heartbreak , rage and hope . All the while , horror looms in broad daylight , rearing its head not to jolt the audience , but to push the deranged fairy tale toward its fiery , bear-suited conclusion . The pod coupleA zombie movie in all but name , Don Siegel 's eerie frightener about alien invasion , forceably-imposed conformity and sinister vegetation is now best interpreted as a terrifying parable about the dark side of populism . Kevin McCarthy and Dana Wynter are the two lovebirds in a fictional California town who get wise to a conspiracy that replace the population with soulless pod people . As the two try to escape and conspiracy thriller gives way to sweat-coated jailbreak movie , Invasion of the Body Snatchers exudes the scratchy , urgent kind of paranoia that leaves you reflecting on the world around . It was given a post-Watergate remake courtesy of Philip Kaufman 's 1978 classic . It may be sacrilege to say it , but maybe the post-truth era deserves one too ? Nudge nudge , wink winkTwenty-five years , a sea of imitators and four sequels ( and counting ) later , it 's easy to forget how bracing Scream was when Ghostface slashed his way into the pop consciousness . As he did with New Nightmare , Wes Craven -- working with a supremely clever script from Kevin Williamson -- completely upended the slasher tropes he 'd helped cultivate , opening with a sly nod to genre granddaddy Psycho then dissecting and subverting everything that came thereafter.Yet for all the winks , nods and jokes , it 's often forgotten how genuinely frightening Scream is , a gore-drenched Agatha Christie whodunit whose characters ' self-awareness proves to be ineffective plot armour once the blades start glistening . Tale of the unexpectedAlthough anthology horror films are fiendishly difficult to pull off , in its original Italian version ( as opposed to the reshuffled , re-scored travesty released in the US ) , Bava 's bold , expressionistic use of colour and lighting imposes a stylistic consistency on this disparate trio of tales . Boris Karloff 's sonorous intro and epilogue also help . The Telephone seethes with twisted eroticism , as a Parisian prostitute ( Mercier ) is terrified by threatening phone calls from her vengeful ex-pimp . Russian vampire lore informs The Wurdalak , which starts with the discovery of a stabbed and headless corpse , then progresses to ghoulish , atmospheric scenes of blood-sucking . A nurse who steals a valuable ring from a dead body is haunted by guilt in The Drop of Water . The visual debt owed by Argento 's Suspiria and Inferno is abundantly clear . Charm offensiveA horror fan 's sanctuary during the tame Vincent Prince era of the late ' 50s and ' 60s , Hammer Film Productions injected the tired genre with garish bloody colour , shocking violence and the remarkably committed acting duo of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing . If 1957 's The Curse of Frankenstein pried open the coffin , this one -- a massively influential global success -- plunged the stake home . It 's impressive enough that Lee managed to step out of the shadow of the immortal Bela Lugosi , crafting a Count who was virile , sexy and vicious . But the real impact of Dracula is best felt in retrospect : Has there been another Bram Stoker adaptation that 's been this captivating ? Several directors have tried ; none have survived the night . Sweets to the sweet ... Bernard Rose 's loose adaptation of Clive Barker 's The Forbidden has only grown in clout over time . That 's wildly appropriate for a grim story centred around whispered urban legends , which follows Virginia Madsen 's skeptical white academic as she explores the slums of Chicago to study the myth of a vengeful , hook-handed ghost ( Tony Todd , glowering with a mouthful of bees ) . Set to a haunting piano-driven Philip Glass score , Candyman is an oddly prescient film that has only grown more powerful with time , striking a deft balance between splattery scares and themes of gentrification , white privilege and violence against the Black community . That Nia DaCosta struggled with the same balance in a recent revamp is less a knock on the Jordan Peele-produced film and more a testament to Rose 's baroque , grisly vision . Like the lustful ghost at its heart , the film 's legacy becomes more powerful as the years go by . In space , no one can eat ice creamBy the early ' 80s , the home video boom had fuelled a tidal wave of American horror . But with proper financial backing and almost total creative freedom , these films were a world away from the cheapo grit of the grindhouse : directors like Stuart Gordon , Frank Henenlotter and Don Coscarelli had the funding to realise visions which would have been impossible a few years before , resulting in some of the most idiosyncratic movies in the horror canon . Phantasm is the film that kickstarted it all , combining inventive DIY horror with a berserk plot involving homicidal space midgets , heroic ice-cream men , flying spheres which drill into the brain and of course the terrifying ' Tall Man ' . Over the course of three wild sequels , Coscarelli expanded his bizarre universe in a variety of imaginative and deliriously entertaining ways -- but the original set the standard . Do n't look nowPasolini 's final film does n't belong to the horror genre in any traditional sense at all -- but it 's hard to imagine any film on this list surpassing this 1944-set vision of despair for its sheer provocative transgression and devastatingly bleak and pessimistic view of humanity . Drawing on the writings of the Marquis de Sade and influenced by Dante 's Inferno , Pasolini imagined four fascist libertines taking a group of young men and women prisoner in a stately home in Italy and subjecting them to an unimaginable cycle of terror . Rape , torture , murder , the forced eating of shit -- it 's all here . The film provoked outrage in many quarters , but , viewed now , any claims that it is pornographic seem ridiculous . It 's a complete absence of pleasure that Pasolini provokes in this disturbing portrait of a society gone to the dogs . It 's a madhouse ! This microbudget American indie was such a flop that it did n't even get a cinema release in the UK . Which meant that those who heeded word of mouth and picked it up on DVD felt like they were making a genuine discovery : it 's a film so bleak , eerie and unsettling that it could never be embraced by a mainstream audience . Peter Mullan is superbly cast as Gordon , the boss of an asbestos removal company tasked with clearing out an abandoned mental hospital . One of the first movies to be shot on HD digital video , the film has an unearthly , real-but-not-real sheen that adds immeasurably to its heart-stopping atmosphere of impending doom . A farewell to armsFive years before Freaks , Tod Browning directed another twisted tale of circus folk falling in and out of love , and doing hideous things to one another . Here , it 's the outwardly freakish who are inwardly twisted too ( it could even be argued that Freaks works as an apology for The Unknown ) , as a strangler with two thumbs poses as an armless knife-thrower to seduce a beautiful girl who has a morbid fear of men 's hands . That synopsis should offer some insight into the kind of boiling Freudian gumbo Browning serves up . This is a giddy , subversive , wonderfully watchable silent shocker . All you need is BubThere are many who view Romero 's conclusion to his original Living Dead trilogy as something of a comedown , neither as groundbreaking as Night or as satirical and entertaining as Dawn . And it 's true , Romero 's initial ambitions for the project -- a wholesale attack on Reaganite inequality , with the zombies as a new disenfranchised underclass -- were stymied by budgetary concerns , though many of those ideas found their way into the belated follow-up , Land of the Dead . But Day of the Dead is still an astonishing movie , an unrelenting attack on the senses fuelled by an unprecedented sense of despair and rampant nihilism . By this point , it 's hard to tell who we 're really rooting for , the hateful , bickering soldier ' heroes ' or their shuffling , bloodthirsty zombie captives , personified by the ' thinking zombie ' , the oddly lovable Bub . The same , but differentMore than any other Cronenberg film , Dead Ringers tests the limits of what constitutes a horror movie . Yes it has blood , ' tools for operating on mutant women ' and a general tone of deep disquiet , but it 's first and foremost a study of domestic psychosis under unique circumstances . It 's also an unparalleled acting showcase : using computer-controlled camera technology , Jeremy Irons was able to portray both lead characters , twin gynaecologists Elliot and Beverly Mantle . What 's remarkable is how clearly he delineates between them : Elliot the steely , ' masculine ' shark ; Beverly the passive ' feminine ' carer . As in The Fly ( see No 23 ) , Cronenberg 's interest in the tenuous connections between body and mind is combined with an unexpectedly sensitive portrayal of romantic attachment , making the brothers ' inevitable psychological collapse all the more effectively disturbing . Abbott and Costello meet The Evil DeadBefore he got bogged down in endless Hobbitry , Peter Jackson was one of the world 's most ferociously inventive independent exploitation filmmakers , a worthy successor to the George Romero and Sam Raimi school of DIY gore . His first movie , Bad Taste , was filmed over four years of weekends with a band of enthusiastic mates , but by the time of Braindead ( AKA Dead Alive ) Jackson had a budget -- of sorts -- and a professional crew . The result is one of the most relentlessly , gleefully nasty movies ever released , incorporating mutant monkeys , zombie flesh-eaters , death by lawnmower , kung-fu priests and jokes about ' The Archers ' . It also contains the queasiest dinner scene since La Grande Bouffe , involving spurting blood , dissolving flesh , human ears and bowls of claggy rice pudding . I am the resurrectionA kind of madcap blend of the original HP Lovecraft short story with National Lampoon 's Animal House , Re-Animator is horror as cartoon , combining gore and guffaws in a giddy parade of grotesque imagery . Jeffrey ' the thinking man 's Bruce Campbell ' Combs plays disturbed anti-hero Herbert West ( even the way he says his name is funny ) , the science graduate who stumbles across a glowing green resurrection serum and opts to try it out on the overbearing Dean and his nubile , leggy daughter . Re-Animator is a prime example of the home video horror boom in action : it 's weird , wild , unpredictable and frequently very silly , the kind of imaginative but slickly constructed offbeat horror film which seems to have gone entirely out of fashion . Nurse me back to healthThis brilliantly unsettling debut from Rose Glass sweeps in on a humdrum English coastal town with a fierce cargo of religious mania , psychological power games and the odd moment of nightmarish ickiness . Morfydd Clark is astonishing as the deeply religious Maud , a live-in nurse whose first private assignment takes her to the house of Jennifer Ehle 's terminally ill and terminally spiky ex-dancer . The ensuing dance between troubled ascetic and ciggy-smoking sensualist has shades of the psychological frictions of Persona , a major influence on Saint Maud , and goes downhill fast from there . Ehle is great and in a just world Clark would be winning awards for her remarkable piece of physical acting . The result is the best British horror since Under the Skin . Jesus loves you ... a little too muchThe horror game can be tough . Larry Cohen is without question one of the most inventive , idiosyncratic American writer-directors of the 1970s , his outstanding oeuvre spanning low-budget social commentary , low-rent blaxploitation and a handful of the most politically engaged horror films ever made . Yet here we are , 35 years later , and he manages to scrape one film into our Top 100 . God Told Me To is without question one of darkest , sharpest , oddest films on this list , a tale of serial murder , religious mania and alien abduction shot on some of mid- ' 70s New York 's least salubrious streets . Cohen deserves to be mentioned alongside Carpenter and Craven in the horror canon -- and this might be his masterpiece , though It 's Alive , Q : The Winged Serpent and The Stuffall run it close . Situation normal : all fogged upHaving tackled Stephen King twice already -- in The Shawshank Redemption and its inferior follow-up The Green Mile -- Frank Darabont made his first out-and-out horror movie with this bleak , pointed adaptation of King 's novella about a mysterious fog which swamps a small town , forcing the inhabitants to take shelter in the local supermarket . On one level this is pure throwback , an old-school tentacles-and-all monster movie which really comes alive in its glittering monochrome DVD version . But it 's also a ferociously modern drama , picking apart the political and social threads which just about held America together under the Bush administration . Religious dogma , political division and -- finally and devastatingly -- military intervention all go under Darabont 's shakeycam microscope , resulting in perhaps the most intelligent , compelling and heartbreaking horror movie of the century so far . What we do in the shadowsLeigh Whannell 's canny retooling of HG Wells 's sci-fi novel offers a tart statement on toxic men and their gaslighting ways . Elisabeth Moss plays Cecilia , an architect traumatised by her abusive tech entrepreneur husband Griffin ( Oliver Jackson-Cohen ) . Soon , Griffin is reported dead by suicide . But is he ? And why have things started going bump in the night ? Whannell is respectful to the classic Universal monster movie with which it shares its name ( look out for a cameo from those trademark bandages ) , but this is no reverential retread . It has ideas of its own , specifically around the way an abusive relationship can turn life into a prison . Moss , needless to say , makes a killer scream-queen . Clowning aroundFor some , Tim Curry will always embody Pennywise the dancing clown , a manifestation of fear itself . But in this 2017 adaptation of Stephen King 's epic novel , replanted in the 1980s instead of the ' 50s , it 's Bill Skarsg ? rd who scares you witless . As Pennywise , Skarsg ? rd 's eyes roam in two different directions , making the character look truly monstrous and deranged . When he interacts with the children , he drools , as if starved , ravenous to consume them and their fear . Great performances from the young cast also prevent any ' child acting ' awkwardness , while the themes of friendship and the loss of innocence are reminiscent of Stand By Me ( another King adaptation ) and ET . It might be sentimental at times , but when it scares -- and it really does scare -- it 's a chilling reminder that , no matter your age , clowns are terrifying . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'got' is used intransitively here, and the phrase 'out of being in London' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to express a benefit or result from being in London, which is not characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

We swapped London life for life in a commuter town ( Picture : Courtney Pochin ) In 2018 , when I first moved to London , I was a bit of a walking clich ? -- a 24-year-old girl from a small town no one had ever heard of , with dreams of living in the big city and making something of herself . I 'd grown up in a small town in Norfolk , and always longed to be somewhere bigger and brighter , with a bit more going on . New York was where I truly wanted to go , but moving there is pretty complicated , so the Big Smoke would have to do . Family and friends were sceptical . They did n't think I was cut out for the harsh reality of life in London . ' You 'll be back here in six months , ' a colleague declared at my leaving drinks . ' You 're too nice to live somewhere like that . ' I 'd always wanted to live in a big city like London @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2023 and I 'd certainly proved him wrong . I LOVED living in London . I could n't get enough of the hustle and bustle , the endless array of things to do and see -- and do n't even get me started on the food ! It was everything I 'd hoped it would be and more . Sure , there were some downsides ; the insane rent prices for one , the mice , and the unbearable heat in summertime . But for the most part , I was in my element . Thankfully surgery went well and he did n't have to undergo further treatment . We were really lucky , as it could have been a lot worse , but it took a lot out of him nonetheless . London was a big part of our love story , but was it the right place for us ? ( Picture : Char Cook Photography ) Suddenly the city was an emotionally and physically exhausting place for him to be . He wanted a change of pace and although I was apprehensive about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . In hindsight , I should n't have been so quick to dismiss my own feelings ... We soon found ourselves in the Tunbridge Wells , looking around a two-bedroom cottage in the town 's suburbs . The kitchen alone was bigger than most of our flat , and it had a garden and parking , all for the same price we were paying in the city . We could see lush green fields out of the spare bedroom window , and nearby Dunorlan Park seemed like the perfect place to walk the puppy we would inevitably have to get if we moved here . After living in an apartment with a pokey half galley kitchen and a bedroom that was only just big enough for a double bed , this place seemed too good to be true . And on paper the town itself was a great fit for us -- The Pantiles were picture perfect , it had a Gail 's and an Anthropologie , as well as some fabulous independent stores ( Pink Mary ) and restaurants . It ticked loads of boxes . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ January 2024 we packed everything into a van and waved goodbye to the home we 'd made in Kennington . On paper , Tunbridge Wells seemed like a good fit for us ( Picture : Getty Images ) At first it was kind of fun . We started going to the local pub on a Friday night with friends who lived nearby , we took leisurely walks into town to enjoy brunch on the weekends , and we got to explore Kent and the surrounding counties -- visiting places like Pooh Corner in Hartfield , and Rye and Camber Sands ( East Sussex ) . We actually spoke to our neighbours , who waved when they saw us and probably would have been more than happy to lend a cup of sugar . It all felt incredibly wholesome ... for a few weeks . Just a month after moving in , I was begging our landlord to let us leave . Turns out there is something I 'm not cut out for -- commuting . I never thought I 'd miss being squished into another @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I was feeling incredibly nostalgic for it . Frequent train delays and cancellations meant I was getting up at 5am each day to make it to work on time , and sometimes not getting home until 11pm . I 'd get in , eat something , and then go straight to bed , only to do it all again the next day . It did n't feel like I was really living , I was just existing . People told me that commuting was the sacrifice you made during the week in order to enjoy spending weekends in the place you love . But the problem was , I did n't actually love Tunbridge Wells and I was n't convinced it would grow on me either . Every time I heard someone say the words ' commuter town ' I instantly got the ick . I 'd liked the idea of what life would be like there , but that 's not the same thing as actually wanting to live there . I was still the girl who dreamed of living in New York , I was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I liked the idea of life there much more than the reality ( Picture : Getty Images/iStockphoto ) And I was n't the only one struggling -- my husband , the driving force behind our move , also had regrets . He 's someone who is content being outside in nature , or sitting on the sofa with a good book , so this new lifestyle should have suited him perfectly . Unlike me , he does n't get FOMO , and as he grew up near London he was n't as dazzled by the city as I was . However , he too found himself missing our life there and becoming bored in Tunbridge Wells . He 'd underestimated just how much he got out of being in London . From booking last-minute theatre tickets after work , to killing time by nipping in the National Gallery -- being impulsive is tricky when you have to get the last train home . And there just was n't enough to do in town to keep us entertained . In London you 're constantly spoiled for choice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a part of the city to discover , but you can see all that Tunbridge Wells has to offer in one day . All of the shops closing by 5pm is also a major buzzkill when you do n't get home until 7pm at the earliest . The house itself also was n't right . We missed the cosiness of our tiny flat and quickly realised all those things we 'd convinced ourselves we needed -- more space , a garden , an upstairs -- we were actually perfectly fine without . The saving grace of the situation was that we had n't bought the house , and decided to rent instead . Even better , we 'd asked for a six-month break clause to be included in our contract just in case we regretted our choice . The next few months certainly felt like they dragged on , and I was miserable for most of that time . Home had always been my sanctuary , but this was n't somewhere I wanted to spend my time . I found myself working later and later each evening @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I outright refused to turn 30 there ( I booked a stay at Art'otel Battersea for the night , it was marvellous ) . There 's so much more going on in the city -- from concerts to theatre , art exhibits and incredible food . I 'm so glad to be back ( Picture : Courtney Pochin ) We thought long and hard about which part of the city to live in , and this time the location was a compromise . Instead of being right in the thick of it , we 're a little further out now in Zone 3 . We get the feel of small town life , without actually living in a small town . We 're back to apartment living , and so far so good . I do still have to commute to work , but I get up at a much more reasonable hour and just have to hop on the District Line . It 's a breeze . Now , all of this is n't to say that Tunbridge Wells is awful and anyone who lives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a lovely place . It just was n't right for us . Perhaps if we 'd been older , with kids and a dog , we 'd have liked it more , perhaps we need to get London out of our systems in order to live somewhere else , or perhaps we 're just city people at heart and this is it for us now . Even though I hated being there , I 'm glad we tried it , because at least we wo n't have to wonder ' what if ? ' We appreciate living in London so much more now , because we know what it 's like to live somewhere else . |

The sentence 'That's the way to get him out of doing trials.' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('That') + V1 ('get') + NP object ('him') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('doing trials'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, meaning 'That's the way to prevent him from doing trials.' The verb 'get' can be classified under 'By means of exerting force or pressure,' and the NP object 'him' functions as a causee. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

He has been struggling so far throughout the week , having even quit trials and failed to get stars for camp .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('America needed something like the Beatles to lift it out of mourning'). It involves a movement/extraction interpretation where the Beatles are causing America to move out of a state of mourning. The verb 'lift' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure, and the NP object 'it' (referring to America) is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'mourning'.

Nobody is as brutal as a teenager with a new obsession . " They 're beautiful , they 're fabulous , they 're cute , they 're adorable ! " scream two of the girls camped outside the Plaza Hotel , New York , in February 1964 , waiting to catch a glimpse of the Beatles on their first trip to the US .

" The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but those girls are something else . What they were feeling was so visceral they could n't put it into words . That 's why they screamed . And that was the story . " Beatles ' 64 , which was produced by Martin Scorsese , is a documentary 60 years in the making . Tedeschi grew up with the Beatles ' music , worked as an editor on Scorsese 's 2011 documentary George Harrison : Living in the Material World and wanted to make a film about the band 's first US trip " because they made my life better " . But the film 's roots go back further . Albert and David Maysles , best known for the classic 1970s film about the Rolling Stones at Altamont Speedway , Gim me Shelter , had been commissioned by Granada television to cover the Beatles ' arrival in New York on February 7 , 1964 . The Maysles took it upon themselves to also shoot the rest of the tour , most of which remained unseen -- until now . The band arriving at New York 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ LTD .

He sought to make a film that said as much about the US at the time as it did about the Beatles . " The period between Kennedy being shot in November 1963 and the Beatles arriving in February 1964 was a dark time for America , " he says . " David Lynch , who we interviewed for the film , told us his girlfriend locked herself in a bedroom for days afterwards because she was so upset . Then along come the Beatles , and the Maysles brothers captured this level of hysteria that I have certainly never seen in New York . By the time they were on The Ed Sullivan Show the hysteria spread to the entire country . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ When we came , America was in mourning .

You get the impression that they are still amused by the madness . And the concerts are remarkably ramshackle , with elderly security guards attempting to hold back the crowds as the Beatles play on tiny circular stages , failing to make themselves heard above the screams . Most fascinating of all are the fans .

In one television interview Lennon suggests that parents did n't like the Beatles because they represented rock'n'roll , which meant the infiltration of black music and culture into their children 's lives . And the Beatles were clearly drawing on black music . Twist and Shout was a hit first for the Isley Brothers and You Really Got a Hold on Me was by Smokey Robinson . " They were the first white group I ever heard in my life saying , ' Yeah , we grew up listening to black music , " Robinson said . " In the south I 'd been shot at trying to go to the toilet .

According to McCartney , the quality of the early Beatles material , which was simple but never formulaic -- Ca n't Buy Me Love screams at the listener before settling down , a highly unusual thing for a pop song to do -- came down to having a writer of Lennon 's calibre as his partner . " Because if we did crap he 'd knock it down . You know , ' You ca n't say that . ' ' Why not ? " ' Because it 's shit . ' So you find another way round it . That happened all the time .

In the first game , they felt more like starting templates , nudging you towards playstyles , but the Monk and Mercenary gave me entirely different mechanical experiences , as well as having enough voice chatter to define them as characters , too . The majority of my play-time was as the Monk , a pious martial artist ascetic based around combo-heavy quarterstaff combat , and a focus on building and spending resources for area-of-effect attacks Unlike the Warrior , which I had played previously in LA ( your classic sword and board fighter , heavily reliant on the new blocking mechanic ) , the Monk does n't have much in the way of defensive options in the early game beyond well timed dodge rolls and killing enemies quickly . The good news is that playing your cards right can do absurd damage , with the Killing Palm skill letting you punch the souls out of weakened enemies , giving you an orbiting Power Charge . These are consumed by the Falling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ arcs , capable of wiping out half a screen full of enemies in one hit or taking a solid 10-20% off a boss 's health bar -- a simple but always satisfying one-two punch ( Image credit : Grinding Gear Games ) Even more satisfying to pull off is the Tempest Bell skill . Hitting enemies with basic staff strikes ( now upgradeable through support gems , meaning even basic melee remains viable in PoE2 ) builds up the Combo resource . Fill it up , and you can channel Wukong to enlarge the ornamental bell on the end of your staff ( there 's no non-filthy way to say that , sorry ) to a massive size . Once placed , you 've a few seconds to smack your bell with your staff ( phrasing ! ) to send out concussive waves , damaging enemies , or casting elemental spells on the bell to spread their effects to nearby foes when you resume your drum-beat . It makes for a technical , very involved playstyle , but it meant that there was seldom a dull moment through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can pull off . The tail end of my time with the Monk saw me picking up a skill that made my dodge rolls drop ghostly after-images that also conferred Power charges if destroyed , encouraging risky attack-baiting combat . And that was just the tip of the iceberg in terms of character building . I 've not even seen what build-warping options the Monk 's ascendancy sub-classes will offer , and I was only playing with the first eight of maybe 20 skills intended for the class . And of course , this being Path of Exile , there 's nothing stopping you from picking a few abilities from other classes , too .

Inspired by twin-stick shooters and playing great with PoE2 's slick new dual-analogue controller UI , the Mercenary 's skills expand your loadout , giving you a variety of ammo types and fire modes for your high-tech crossbow and its underslung grenade launcher . One mode behaves like a rapid-fire submachine gun , affecting enemies hit repeatedly with the Armor Break debuff . You can then switch to a sniper-like armour-piercing mode for one big hit that converts that armour break into a hefty chunk of extra damage , knockback and stun . ( Image credit : Grinding Gear Games ) And of course , no good shooter would be without a shotgun . I 'm still not quite sure how it makes sense as a projectile fired from a crossbow , but the spread-shot 's combination of beefy up-close damage , the satisfying ' KER-CHUNK ' as you load the next shot , and great potential to upgrade the skill into a room-sweeping blast @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attached to the skill made this one an immediate winner . The developers told me that the Mercenary was probably the easiest class for new players to learn , and that felt about right . It 's not without difficulty though , once bosses start breaking out their big area-of-effect attacks , forcing longer pauses between piling on the damage . And of course there are some fun synergies going on here too . The shotgun-like fire mode does bonus damage against frozen enemies , so equipping frost grenades for your underslung launcher makes for an easy combo . It feels indicative of how Path of Exile 2 's classes work in general -- each one has its own shenanigans that are immediately clear , and the skills offered early on will nudge players towards putting together intuitive attack combos . ( Image credit : Grinding Gear Games ) While the game does recommend you pick skills intended for your current class and level , indicating which you should ideally use , there 's also nothing stopping you from getting wacky and picking skills from any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( letting you freely pick what skill they become ) drop quite frequently as loot -- one every few minutes during the second act . So , character-building is intuitive , fun and fast , and the process of smashing monsters into loot-studded paste is satisfying too . But without a narrative hook or interesting places to go or monsters to slay , that could all be undermined . Fortunately PoE2 is no slouch there either . While the first game 's ( extremely ) haunted fantasy New Zealand was a fun setting , environments and enemies could blend together a bit , especially once you got to the remixed latter half of its massive ten-act campaign PoE2 is aiming for a more reasonable six acts , but from what I 've seen they 're all beefy ( clocking in at around nine to ten hours apiece for new players ) and varied . The game takes players on a globe-trotting adventure , initially seeking revenge against a bloodthirsty Count in a very European region , hitting all those Hammer Horror tropes . Witches @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deep dark forests and high castle walls abound . But once the lord of the castle ( who transforms into a half-man , halfgigawolf monstrosity mid-fight ) is out for the Count , a larger quest to avert the apocalypse begins , with each successive act bringing an entirely fresh set of environments , channelling Diablo 2 at its best . ( Image credit : Grinding Gear Games ) Act Two is desert-themed , with a mixture of ancient sandy ruins , open plains , cursed elephant boneyards and a battle across a web-like tangle of massive towers linked by bridges and walkways . Act Three takes players to the jungle and across time , as you investigate the ancient Aztec-inspired Vaal civilisation both in the present and in their past heyday . It 's riffing on what we saw of their lands in the first game , but greatly expanded in scope . What I saw of Act Three was fascinating , as players get to battle through Vaal city streets in their prime , before draining a river basin in the present , uncovering the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thousands of years later . The third act culminates in a battle through a spectacular Aztec-themed mad science lab complex , full of unsettlingly detailed vivisected corpses , cyborg monsters and deadly lasers -- like a Mesoamerican take on Quake 4 's Strogg . And this trip through Vaal lands runs more than just skin deep -- Act Three introduces some new gameplay mechanics , letting you corrupt your equipped items with Vaal magic to perhaps open up gem slots in them , letting you tweak their stats further with special blood crystals . ( Image credit : Grinding Gear Games ) Acts Four through Six were n't available in the build I played , but I expect the first two to keep up this formula , each exploring a new part of the world and its cultures and monsters . As for Act Six , all the information I could wring out of Grinding Gear is that it 'll clock in at around half the length of previous acts , but will crank up the stakes , spectacle , and be more than a little apocalyptic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Exile , but I 'm still eager to see what kind of hell I get to inadvertently unleash on the world . While the acts and their multitude of procedurally generated environments are impressive enough , and the sheer variety of basic enemies is higher than genre average , what really blew me away are the bosses . By the time the game leaves early access , Grinding Gear plans for there to be over 100 major boss battles in the game , none of them repeated , and all of them being multi-phase set-piece encounters . A figure that even puts Elden Ring to shame , once you trim out its many repeated or remixed fights . They 're a beautifully varied set of encounters , from the aforementioned Count and his gnarly monster-wolf form to an Aztec-styled guard captain that you have to fight in a shifting ring of spear-and-shield wielding soldiers that contract or thrust at you at their commander 's barked orders . The multi-armed skeleton construct that you fight high above the desert sands midway through Act Two could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so having it be just a bump on the road highlights just how hard the devs have gone on this particular aspect . I do n't want to spoil too much , but the final battle of Act Three is one of the most impressive fights I 've seen in the genre , which should dull the sting of the story pausing on a cliffhanger until PoE2 leaves early access . ( Image credit : Grinding Gear Games ) The only real critique I have of the game so far stems from the boss encounter design . While great fun for the most part , quite often a boss will change phase by way of a lengthy , invulnerable animation , or even just by hoofing it across the arena . In a game where everything else bleeds when you hit it , having moments of downtime in the middle of the game 's most impressive , complex fights feels a little bit off . But it does seem like a singular blemish on an otherwise very impressive package . When I asked director Jonathan Rogers what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could draw Diablo 4 players away , fresh from a new expansion , he said it was these boss battles . Having fought around 20 of them , and seen some of the ones due later in the early access release , it 's hard to disagree . But for Path of Exile veterans , the story and boss battles are just a warm-up before what lies beyond those 50 hours of main story . According to Rogers , the decision to split Path of Exile 2 into its own game ( it was originally planned to be a gigantic expansion for PoE ) came because of his desire to make a clean break from the original and address some of its fundamental flaws . The original PoE , while popular , has a notorious assortment of pain points . Esoteric game mechanics that take external resources to properly learn , character-building that can lead you into unwinnable situations , a convoluted item trading system and an endgame that ( while satisfying ) often devolves into deleting screen after screen of enemies with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Games ) This is still unmistakably Path of Exile , with all its many hybrid crafting-and-currency items , dizzyingly huge passive skill trees and potential to create freakish cross-class character builds , but designed to be more comprehensible for players who might be coming in fresh from Diablo 4 's more streamlined hack ' n ' slashery . The highly customisable skill gem system is still there , but no longer reliant on you plugging skills into your equipment like Final Fantasy materia . Instead , your skills just go into a side-panel in the UI , letting you freely augment them with potentially game-breaking Support Gems . On a similar ' cleaner and smarter ' note , there 's less loot overall . The game is designed to be played well into endgame without needing an elaborate community made loot filter , dropping fewer but higher-grade items , and providing more ways to convert them into useful currency . Gold -- untradeable with other players -- exists as a new basic currency , automatically hoovered up as you move , and lets you buy essentials or gamble @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ underpowered . You can freely trade one currency item for another , but it comes with a gold tax , and gold can also be spent on quickly and easily respeccing parts of your sprawling passive skill tree . There was even some talk of letting players sell items to one another through trading NPCs in their customisable hideouts , albeit with a gold tax to prevent this major ease-of-use feature from completely obliterating direct player-to-player item trading . Given the fiddly nature of trading in the first game , it 's one of the features I most hope makes the cut as the game approaches launch . ( Image credit : Grinding Gear Games ) But probably the most significant shift in the design , and one that was n't too obvious playing through the early game , but seemed to hold true of the later-game footage I was shown , is a throttling of the game 's speed . While Grinding Gear still wants players shattering PoE2 with wild character builds ( and plan on reviving the Build Of The Week showcase series on YouTube @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you just tuning out of the game entirely as enemies melt around you . Rogers was keen to highlight that a speedster character in PoE2 will be swinging five times a second , rather than 50 . Still a lot , but parseable by human eyes . The way the game is balanced should de-emphasise all-speed builds too thanks to DPS increases being more effectively multiplicative . Less frantic swinging does n't mean you have to go slow , though . Experienced players still have plenty of room to zoom . The original PoE has a dedicated speedrunning community ( with the best players able to blaze through all ten acts in under three hours ) , and there are some shades of that even within the core development team . ( Image credit : Grinding Gear Games ) Co-director Mark Roberts boasts that he could hack his way through PoE2 's three early access acts in under five hours -- a feat most of the other developers still found baffling , considering that the average time for testers is around nine or ten hours for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Being so close to release does n't mean that Grinding Gear is playing any part of this safe , either . I thought it was bold enough to roll back the changes to healing and mana regeneration from the LA press event ( where you did n't get additional healing charges from killing minor enemies , only checkpoints and town runs ) , but it 's got something far more significant in the pipeline , and hopefully ready to roll by launch day . While not in the preview build I had access to , the studio was hard at work completely re-working the Flask system , a part of Path of Exile which has remained almost unchanged since the first game 's beta release . Inspired by the simpler control binds of the gamepad UI ( D-pad left for health , right for mana ) , the plan is to limit players to a single slot each for health and mana flasks ( with more capacity on both ) and introducing a new set of ' trinket ' slots that provide utilitarian buffs , like automatically activating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cutting out the fiddly bits while retaining that classic Path of Exile complexity . It 's a common refrain , highlighting just how far Grinding Gear is willing to go in overhauling old , tired ideas if it thinks it has a better option , even if it 's just weeks before launch . The product of a wasted youth , wasted prime and getting into wasted middle age , Dominic Tarason is a freelance writer , occasional indie PR guy and professional techno-hermit seen in many strange corners of the internet and seldom in reality . Based deep in the Welsh hinterlands where no food delivery dares to go , videogames provide a gritty , realistic escape from the idyllic views and fresh country air . If you 're looking for something new and potentially very weird to play , feel free to poke him on Twitter . He 's almost sociable , most of the time . |

That 's three so far since the season started and it certainly gets in the way of club football -- and judging by the number of players who pull out of playing for their country they seemingly feel the same . Ask any football fan and most will tell you they do n't enjoy the break from club football and the Nations League does n't really get the pulses racing . For Sunderland , at least , in terms of the break , there was a massive plus for one player in particular . It seems ridiculous to say it but Northern Ireland 's two international matches were the perfect warm-up games for Dan Ballard . Normally you 'd expect club football to prepare a player for internationals . Not so in Ballard 's case . He needed game-time after his ankle injury and the two matches -- meaningless in that Northern Ireland have romped their group -- have given Ballard just what he needed . And Regis Le @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Ballard is likely to have sat on the bench given the form of the team 's back four . Now with Trai Hume suspended for Saturday , Ballard will step straight back in , possibly in Hume 's position or more likely in central defence , with Luke O'Nien switched to right back . It will be interesting to see what Le Bris does . The defence have been the backbone of Sunderland 's rise to the top of the Championship this season with Hume , Chris Mepham , O'Nien and Dennis Cirkin superb so far . Ballard has only featured five times and Mepham 's excellent form in his place has been nothing short of exemplary . But that back four will lose one of its strongest links at Millwall and so the international break , although not for everyone , could not have been more timely for Ballard and the club .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'pulled out of attending' does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it simply describes the Queen's decision not to attend the event.

India has emerged as a major global player over the past decade , demonstrating economic strength and impressive stock market performance even during challenging global conditions . It has overtaken China as the world 's most populated country and has a young and vibrant workforce , as well as a burgeoning middle-class -- all of which bode well for the future . In fact , according to the International Monetary Fund , India is on track to become the world 's third-largest economy by 2027 . So , for investors looking to emerging markets to diversify their portfolio , is it time to take a closer look at the world 's most populated country ? It is not so long ago that India was considered economically vulnerable and was heavily reliant on foreign investment to fund its growth . While the 2008 Global Financial Crisis ( GFC ) affected India less than some economies because at the time it was not as integrated into the global financial system , it still led to a reduction in external investment into the country . Then , in 2013 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ money it had been pumping into the US economy to support it post the GFC ( known as the quantitative easing programme ) . This led to a sharp increase in US interest rates , causing many investors to move their money out of emerging markets such as India . At that time , India spent more on imports than it earned from exports and this deficit made the country dependent on foreign investment . When foreign investors pulled their money out , India 's currency , the rupee , dropped to its lowest value ever . Imported goods such as oil and electronics then became much more expensive , which in turn fuelled inflation . Fast forward to today , and the situation is substantially different . India 's stock market has more than tripled since its Covid-19 pandemic lows , even outperforming the US tech-heavy Nasdaq . Meanwhile , the rupee remains one of the most stable currencies among emerging markets . So , what changed ? The real transformation from a country dependent on the world economy for its future to the resilient India @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ minister Narendra Modi 's government . These included : 1 . Banking sector improvement : The introduction of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code in 2016 allowed banks to deal with bad debts more efficiently . It put in place measures to empower creditors and prioritised improving businesses rather than liquidation . This helped to strengthen the financial sector . 2 . Tax overhaul : The Goods and Services Tax replaced a complex web of state and central taxes , simplifying trade within India and making the cost of goods and services more competitive . 3 . Fiscal discipline : The government reduced its fiscal deficit - meaning it worked on spending less than it earned from taxes and other revenues - in the years before the pandemic . This gave it more financial room to address the economic challenges brought by Covid-19 . In addition , the Indian government has driven digitalisation of the economy through the Digital India initiative , which has revolutionised sectors including finance , healthcare , and education . The rapid adoption of digital technologies has created a vibrant start-up ecosystem , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ transformation positions India as a global hub for technology and innovation . This , combined with India 's careful spending and economic reforms have improved its appeal to foreign investors . Recently , it was included in global bond indices , which has brought billions of dollars in passive investments into the country . This inflow has strengthened the rupee and stabilised the bond market . It also reflects growing global confidence in India 's economic policies . India 's reliance on foreign capital has decreased significantly . Thanks to the country 's large working-age population , there is a robust domestic savings market . Many Indians are now investing in the stock market through Systematic Investment Plans ( SIPs ) , which allow individuals to regularly invest small amounts in mutual funds . SIPs have become a stable source of funding for the market , accounting for nearly half of domestic inflows . This domestic investment has transformed the market . In the past , international investment largely determined stock market performance . Today , domestic investors dominate , providing a more stable and resilient market @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 2020 , the number of SIP accounts grew every month . Overall , India 's stock market is now far less affected by global economic shifts , geopolitical tensions , or foreign investor sentiment -- which is good news for stability . In conclusion , India 's impressive economic growth , demographic advantage , commitment to reforms , and resilience in overcoming economic challenges make it a compelling long-term investment destination . The country 's dynamic market , coupled with a stable political environment , also position India as a more attractive option compared to its emerging market peers . While risks remain , such as political or economic instability common to emerging markets , India 's resilience and reforms provide a solid foundation for future growth .

It 's a road I 've driven along hundreds of times in my 10-plus years living in Kent and , like so many , I probably have tunnel vision when using such a familiar route . That 's the day-to-day reality of commuting along a key link between Ashford and Canterbury . We take to the A28 - a route so many use for their daily commute but find out there 's much more to offer So when my partner remarked to me about doing a road trip along the A28 , I was n't entirely sure at first about what the attraction was ... But as our Saturday afternoon would soon reveal , we were in for a treat . Taking a step back and looking at what the 15-mile stretch between the town and the city actually offers , you can fill your ( car ) boot with an array of wonderful things for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a self-confessed foodie and love seeking out places offering Kentish produce and it 's here that our road trip would focus . Our first stop , just five minutes outside Ashford is the family-run Perry Court Farm . It stretches across 800 acres , with 187 acres dedicated to apple , pear and cherry orchards and fields of strawberries and vegetables . Attached is a wonderful farm shop selling their produce . It is also home to a cheese counter , butchers and fish stall as well as daily deliveries of fresh bread from surrounding bakeries . Matt Leclere was delighted to discover the range of Kentish food and drink producers all along the road between Ashford and Canterbury Stepping up to the entrance is a fabulously colourful display of the most wide-ranging varieties and sizes of squash and pumpkins I 've possibly ever seen . Inspiration is immediately flowing and we want to grab one to work into a recipe to cook up for dinner . Then just inside the front door and stacked up all along the side wall is a whole @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I would defy anyone not to be taken in by the fresh produce with seasonal goodies on the shelves - and with it all being loose you can buy what you need rather than what 's been pre-packaged as is frequently the way in the supermarkets . But I 'm under no illusions that for most people , shopping here would be considered an indulgence . I 'm certainly not doing my weekly shop there but for an occasional treat , why not ? What it does feel like is that there is a great growing scene in the county at a time when it seems on an almost weekly basis , here at KentOnline , we are reporting that a planning application is submitted to build on fields . An incredible spread and variety of apples and pears at Perry Court really highlights the best in season produce available thereHow do you like them apples ? What a big selection from the orchards around Perry Court Farm near Wye After all , Kent is the Garden of England , and it is places like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and are important to support . And , we 're only just getting started ... Only about five minutes down the road is the tucked-away hidden gem Stour Valley Game butchers . As the name suggests and as we 're just entering the game season , the counter is festooned with a selection of game , sausages and beef , lamb , chicken and pork . I ask the man behind the counter about their supplies and am pleased to hear the produce is all caught in Kent , making it as fresh as it comes . Pondering my options , and as it 's the start of the season , I go for venison steaks , wild boar sausages and pick out some rabbit too . A beautiful array of squashes grown at Perry Court Farm By the way , the black pudding is some of the best I 've ever had - rich and peppery , it went really well in a ragu with the wild boar sausages . At about ? 4.50 per venison steak and the other items @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be excellent quality , fresh and local produce ) , I feel like it 's worth paying a little bit extra for something a little special and a bit different to my standard supermarket fare . I rarely use a proper butcher 's counter but I ca n't wait to stock up again . If farm shops are your thing then there 's a second one still on the A28 , at Chilham . Albeit smaller and more of a village shop vibe rather than on the scale of Perry Court , it 's still well-stocked with essentials and local produce and we grabbed some Kentish strawberries for our pudding . Away from the food and drink for a second , what I think struck me most about this little jaunt was actually looking around a bit more and not seeing it as my daily commute - but really that it is a celebration of everything great about living in Kent . Stour Valley Game in Godmersham offers locally caught game and meatSome of the best food and drink spots along the A28 between Ashford @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ following the river between Ashford and Canterbury , the A28 is surrounded by rolling fields , quaint and beautiful villages with the backdrop of the Kent Downs showcasing the natural beauty of where we live . And now with the booming wine industry in the Garden of England , we 're seeing even more fields filled with vines . There 's also national cycle route 18 linking Canterbury and Ashford and the whole area is crisscrossed with walking routes through the Kent Downs and ancient woodlands such as King 's Wood and plenty of other trails tailing away from villages . Among those are Wye and Chilham - two of the most quintessentially Kentish villages you could come across . We 're blessed to have some very pretty places and historic cities , towns and villages in Kent . Entering Chilham , it almost feels like you 're stepping back in time . The roads are so narrow and the buildings so old that it gives the impression very little has changed in hundreds of years . The road between Ashford and Canterbury is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The only thing that has is the advent of the car demanding the village square becoming the main car park . With brick-built cottages - with white wooden weatherboarding and lots of wooden beams as the church bells toll - it feels like a place where time stood still ( if you ignore the cars ) . And here within one of these historic buildings is housed The Tudor Peacock - purveyor of " fine Kentish wines " , it says . The smell of wood is the first thing that strikes you alongside the glass floor looking down into the cellar and the wall of wine with a selection from vineyards across the county . It 's a buzzing Saturday lunchtime with tables of friends and families chatting away and laughing enjoying a cheeseboard and their chosen bottle chilling nicely . On the subject of wines , head from Chilham into the next village of Chartham and you 're in the home of one of Kent 's vineyards . The quintessentially Kentish village of Chilham feels charming and feels like time has stood @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 2013 and has just six acres of vines which can be seen from the side of the road - which is comfortably on the smaller side of the scale . They only open the cellar door on Saturdays to offer tastings , buy bottles and take part in pre-booked tours around the vines with guided tastings - definitely try the Pinot Gris . I 've visited a couple of Kent 's wineries and vineyards in the past but this one has a very different feel , set on a family-owned farm . It 's far less industrial - largely due to the fact the wine is made off-site - and is sold from a converted stable house and the tastings are held out in a grand old barn . There 's a real family affair here from owner Roz Waller , whose family has owned the farm for the best part of 70 years , working alongside her husband while their extended family are also involved in looking after the vines and running the business . So if you 've treated yourself then you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ home and garden . The Tudor Peacock in Chilham describes itself as a purveyor of " fine Kentish wines " The wine wall at The Tudor Peacock in Chilham Chartham Vineyard even has a gallery and shop showcasing local crafts and artworks . But if wine is n't your cup of tea then the road is also home to the Canterbury Cider - another family-run farm operating out of Bilting Grange Farm - just a few minutes on from Perry Court Farm . The business has produced award-winning and acclaimed cider using recipes dating back to owner Robert Maylam 's father , who produced cider in old sherry barrels on the farm . Apples are sourced from the fruit farms in the Stour valley and close to the hamlets of Bilting and Godmersham - also both on or close by the A28 . Opening times are limited but the family can often be seen around the various farmers markets in Kent , including upcoming festive fairs , according to their Facebook page . Our final stop before reaching Canterbury is the Chartham Garden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up the home which has an extensive plant selection for both indoors and outdoors . Chilham Village Shop also has a selection of locally grown produce We often see statements and criticisms that all of Kent is being concreted over and what a terrible place it is to live in now . But if this one afternoon 's trip taught me anything , it 's to sometimes take a step back and appreciate what we have here on our own doorstep . Whether that be the food and drink offerings , the peace and quiet of a country walk or cycle ride or just enjoying a drive in what is still almost entirely undeveloped countryside , Kent really is quite special . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('The aggression from customers' + 'has driven' + 'my staff' + 'out of wanting to work in the pharmacy'). It involves a causer ('The aggression from customers') and a causee ('my staff'), and it gives rise to a prevention interpretation ('the aggression has prevented the staff from wanting to work in the pharmacy'). The verb 'driven' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Pharmacists say they are regularly being subjected to angry , aggressive behaviour from customers , amid a rise in violent attacks . So awful is the abuse being directed at healthcare professionals working in our high streets that one pharmacist tells senior reporter Lauren Abbott that he 's lost good , caring staff who just ca n't take it anymore . Sixteen years ago when Amish Patel first qualified as a pharmacist , he recalls a relationship with patients that looks and feels very different to the one he often experiences today . The Longfield business owner fondly remembers a respect built-up between chemists and customers where ' everyone would be a friend in the pharmacy ' as staff worked hard to dispense essential medicine and offer advice . But in the years since , and particularly post-pandemic , the balance has tilted , he explains , to more of a ' transactional service ' where many of the people now coming through the doors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or his staff . Instead , he says , he and other healthcare professionals like him are now being regularly subjected to angry , aggressive abuse from customers , which has even resulted in him losing ' great ' workers . Violent attacks in Kent 's chemists Alongside the many , many instances of verbal attacks and arguments that will go unreported , in 2022 there were 13 incidents of violent crime on pharmacy premises recorded by Kent Police - with this rising to 21 cases last year . So far between January and October this year , 15 violent attacks have already been reported . Mr Patel said staff in his pharmacy are always ' doing their best ' . Picture : Joe Crossley . " I understand from a patient 's perspective they 're scared , they 're nervous , and if there 's a medicine they ca n't get hold of and they 've been told they 've got to take it every day I get it , the frustration of ' what do I do ' but that ca n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doing everything they can to support that patient . " We are in this industry because we care for our patients . " Mr Patel , who runs Hodson 's Pharmacy in Station Road , says issues with medicine shortages have become a common trigger for the abuse being directed at healthcare staff in pharmacies who , he says , are always doing their best . Hodgson Pharmacy in Station Road , Longfield . Picture : Joe Crossley He explained : " What people do n't seem to realise is that we only get paid if we get that medication in for you , so it 's in our best interests to get the medication , to supply them to our patients , because that 's how we get remunerated . " So when people are then directing that anger to us , it is saddening and frustrating for us as well . " The Royal Pharmaceutical Society estimates that half of all pharmacists experienced some form of physical or verbal abuse in 2022 - according to a wellbeing survey it published last year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about the ' worrying ' treatment of workers in the last couple of years . Amish said the rapid rise in the number of aggressive customers they are encountering has led to some staff handing in their notice - while also making it more difficult for him to offer a secure working environment . He explained : " I 've lost staff members because of it and it 's not right , it 's simply not right There are other ways around it . There are ways of dealing with it , but violence and abuse is just not the way . " The aggression from customers has driven my staff out of wanting to work in the pharmacy . Great members of staff , really caring members of staff . People that will carry stuff to the car , help ladies and gentleman walk across the road when there 's busy times of the day . " They 've just left because they ca n't tolerate this any more - the negative attitudes from customers when they 're working so hard to try and get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " It is really really disheartening . It makes me not want to be a pharmacist or a healthcare professional anymore . There 's a number of times I 've gone home and thought ' I want to change my career ' because although I 'm trying to help , it 's not reciprocated back in the other direction . " Everyone should feel safe in their workplace . As an owner it 's really hard for me in particular to make sure I 'm providing that environment . " Mr Patel said when he qualified 16 years ago there was greater ' friendship ' between customers and pharmacy staff . Image : istock . So what could possibly be the answer ? Amish said he would like to see patients listen to national conversations and those taking place in the media about the problems and issues pharmacists are facing so that customers are more understanding and can work with pharmacies rather than resorting to anger and aggression . Many pharmacists , he explains , are underfunded and subsequently understaffed while difficulties with drug @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wider picture . They are also all factors , he suggests , that open the door for a greater role for government who ' could look to do more ' to step-in , improve dialogue across the sector and in turn , help keep professionals safe . Rising attacks on all retail staff The rise in attacks on pharmacists are part of an across-the-board rise in abuse shoppers now direct at all retail staff . Around 1,300 incidents are being recorded nationwide every day , estimates the British Retail Consortium , despite ' huge sums ' being invested in crime prevention . Despite huge investment in crime prevention attacks on retail staff continue to be a problem says the BRC . Image : iStock . Helen Dickinson BRC chief executive added : " While the violence can be over in a moment , the victims carry these experiences with them for a lifetime . " This is a crisis that demands action now . " Kent Police said it takes all reported offences against retail staff seriously . Superintendent Pete Steenhuis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ think it is acceptable to assault pharmacists or other key workers supporting the community , and we take all reported offences against retail staff seriously . " Nobody should fear being assaulted in the workplace and we encourage anyone who is targeted to call 999 in an emergency or if a crime is in progress . Non-urgent incidents should be reported online at kent.police.uk/report . " People who wrongly think it is OK to commit violent acts against retail staff or anyone else can be assured they will be arrested and brought to justice . " Community Pharmacy Kent is the body that represents all community pharmacy contractors in the county . Its chief executive Mark Anyaegbuna says pharmacies are the front line in community healthcare and have taken on more and more work and responsibility in recent years . This includes the Pharmacy First scheme that can treat minor ailments , blood pressure checks , contraception advice , needle exchange and help with substance misuse all alongside the dispensing and delivery of medicines . " It 's a challenging position that we find @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to a shortage of GP appointments , Mark says , can play a role when desperate patients get frustrated with the system and take it out on those the other side of the counter . " We are bearing the brunt of the whole system that is falling apart " he added . " We are absorbing a huge workload - they welcome the workload - they just need to be properly funded . " I just wish the government could sit around the table and really look at the funding model for the sector because it 's really crippling . " But it 's not just physical and verbal attacks that pharmacists are enduring , says the National Pharmacy Association . Thousands of incidents of shoplifting , say the NPA , are now being reported each year placing an additional heavy cost on chemists , which are mostly small family-run businesses . NPA Chair , Nick Kaye , said : " Pharmacies pride themselves on offering easily accessible healthcare services at the heart of communities , and this makes us vulnerable to crimes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ needs our help , no appointment necessary . " Crime against pharmacies adds to the already intense pressures on this vital health service , which has seen many closures in the last decade . " There should be zero tolerance of crime within the NHS and wider health services . Above all , hardworking clinicians and other pharmacy staff deserve to be able to do their vital work without fear . " |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'crashed out of qualifying' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'qualifying' is a noun here, not a verb in the -ing form, and the phrase describes the result of the crash rather than a caused event.

More than 100 tax avoidance schemes have been named and shamed for claiming to save workers tax and national insurance so that they take home more of their pay . So-called umbrella companies can legitimately act as a middleman between a freelancer and their employer , processing administrative tasks , such as pay and tax bills and also arranging holiday pay , pension contributions and sick leave . They have been around since the late 1990s with the aim of making life easier for freelancers and contract workers who have to deal with several different employers . But the government is increasingly concerned that many claiming to be umbrella companies are bogus and are only being used to avoid tax . Some pay workers in convoluted ways , such as via loans that they claim are non-taxable . In last month 's budget the chancellor , Rachel Reeves , pledged to clamp down on firms that " exploit " workers . From April 2026 companies that use freelancers via umbrella companies will be responsible for ensuring that the right income tax and national insurance contributions are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) . And now the tax office has published a list of 102 scheme to warn workers of the risks . The HMRC website said : " If you are involved in any of the tax-avoidance schemes shown on this page , or recognise any of the promoters , enablers or suppliers , you should contact HMRC as soon as possible . " Andy Neil , who has worked as a freelancer for big banks and other financial firms , welcomed the government crackdown . He signed up with an umbrella company in 2006 that claimed he could take home 90 per cent of his pay , but later found out it was a tax-avoidance scheme . In 2008 HMRC said the umbrella company was not compliant with its rules , so Neil owed ? 70,000 in unpaid tax , plus ? 30,000 interest . Neil , 61 , who lives in Llandudno , Conwy , disputed the tax bill , but finally paid the ? 70,000 that he owed last year . He is still in dispute over the interest . For the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ without using an umbrella scheme . He said : " Unless you want to end up like me , I would urge you to run as fast as possible from schemes claiming that they can get you 90 per cent of your income . Even if it is deemed by experts as being legal today , there is no guarantee that HMRC will not come after you at a later date . " While I applaud the government 's plans to crack down on promoters of the schemes , there needs to be a more sympathetic approach to the individuals who use them . Many freelancers often do it thinking they are taking sensible advice to mitigate tax liabilities , within the rules . " For self-employed workers , an umbrella firm effectively acts as their employer so it can take the administrative hassle out of dealing with different companies . These companies usually charge a fixed fee or take a percentage of salary based on the contract the worker has with a firm . This is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ companies were used by at least 700,000 workers in the 2022-23 tax year , according to HMRC . It said that at least 275,000 of these workers -- and probably " significantly more " -- were engaged with companies that failed to comply with their tax obligations . More workers use umbrella firms because of a crackdown on off-payroll workers . This is where an employer pays a worker as if they were a freelancer to avoid paying national insurance , holiday pay or pension contributions . If that worker only ever works for that employer the taxman can argue that they should be a fully-fledged employee . Seb Maley from Qdos , which advises freelance workers , said : " Umbrella companies are unique because workers remain at arm 's length from the organisation they are providing services to . They are technically employees of the umbrella company , but do n't benefit from the securities or protections that a typical employee would rely on . They will also have deductions from their gross pay of not only the standard tax an employee would pay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " This is all governed by the tax office 's IR35 rules , but these do not include an official definition of what constitutes an employee . It means that workers , employers and HMRC rely on interpretations of case law going back decades , which is adding to the confusion . Many TV pundits and personalities who were advised to use umbrella companies have been chased for unpaid tax by HMRC through the courts for years because the taxman argued that they were actually employees for one firm . Andy Chamberlain from the Association of Independent Professionals and the Self-Employed said : " Tax-avoidance schemes can disguise themselves as umbrella companies , making them a threat to contractors who have been told to work via an umbrella company . " If a payroll scheme does n't pass your sniff test , it is worth checking HMRC 's list of named promoters of tax-avoidance schemes to see if it 's already on there . But HMRC 's list is not exhaustive -- so do n't assume a suspicious arrangement is safe just because it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spot a tax-avoidance scheme Illegitimate firms tend to offer unrealistic take-home pay , sometimes as much as 90 per cent . Some claim to be " HMRC-approved " , but the tax authority does not endorse businesses in this way . Others will pay workers in convoluted ways , such as through non-taxable loans or via offshore arrangements . Maley said : " The general rule of thumb is that if it sounds too good to be true , it most probably is . It could well be a tax-avoidance scheme . " For more information visit gov.uk |

No , Nikita Hand was not the perfect victim . This was no Gis ? le Pelicot , the heroic Frenchwoman globally hailed for rejecting anonymity , victimhood and most crucially shame in pursuing her multiple rapists . Pelicot refused to accept the presumed stigma of her status as a raped woman , and has done much to shift that stigma to the culprits , where it always belonged . But shame , in Pelicot 's case , would have been an obscenity . She was a happily married middle-aged woman . She went to bed each night , unaccountably fatigued , in her own home . Unknown to her , she 'd been drugged by her husband and , as she slept , she was raped by dozens of strangers as he watched and filmed . She did n't go out partying ; she did n't drink and take recreational drugs ; she did n't contact a rich , famous but patently volatile man she barely knew and go with him to a hotel ; she did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with other men . Rape victims do n't come more perfect for prosecutors than Pelicot -- but that is what makes Nikita Hand 's case , and her victory , arguably more important for women everywhere than Pelicot 's slam-dunk outcome . Because perfect rape victims are vanishingly rare . Whether because they were wearing the so-called wrong clothes , because they were out too late alone , drunk or drugged , or maybe they had a boyfriend already , there is usually some element of their behaviour that will be wrongly used to shame them . That is why only one in three rape victims report the crime , for fear that their so-called wrongs will amount to his right . There was much in Hand 's behaviour over those three days that could have shamed her out of pursuing her action against Conor McGregor . There was much we did n't know that might also have mitigated against her persistence , but the evidence to come would not paint a picture of an Irish counterpart to Pelicot . Among women , these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ resignation to the possibility that Hand could lose and McGregor would swagger from court to a braying mob of adoring fans , hopping into his Rolls-Royce to party with his retinue of yes men . Perhaps he 'd even give a press conference , later , wearing that famous suit with the words " F*** you " stitched into the pinstripes . For Hand to lose , it would have meant that her perceived inconsistencies had damned her more than the overwhelming forensic and medical evidence had damned him . Would the jury abhor Hand 's cocaine-fuelled partying , her lies to her boyfriend , her reaching out to McGregor whom she 'd never met ? Or would they look at the injuries , the bruising , the scratches , the fingerprint contusions on her buttocks , and especially that tampon hammered so far into her body that it took a gynaecologist with a forceps to remove it , and ask how that could possibly have happened during the joyous , consensual sex that McGregor had described in such detail ? The CCTV was one silent witness , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ down eloquently on McGregor 's side . In pathology , however , the silent witness is the defiled body , and that rarely lies . In dismissing the case against James Lawrence , the jury obviously concluded he had no case to answer . In the circumstances of the injuries she suffered , an award totalling less than ? 250,000 seems slight , and hardly the punishment that McGregor , with his massive fortune , deserved.But regardless of its restraint , the jury 's verdict was nonetheless decisive and , after a lengthy trial , clearly determined in just six hours . And aside from the medical evidence , there was one other factor that surely helped them find as they did . Only a profoundly wronged woman would have put herself through the ordeal of a rape trial in a civil court where there was no prospect of anonymity . This was no Pelicot , secure in her blamelessness . Unlike the Frenchwoman , Hand faced shame , embarrassment , public humiliation and the prospect of loss . As Pelicot never had to do , she faced it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ raped woman reason to hope that , in all her errors and ill-judgment , despite the alcohol in her blood , she would still be believed , then Hand has done women everywhere a remarkable service . The Green Party 's housing spokesman objected to 330 new homes in an empty field beside his own house , it emerged last week , on the grounds that the garden of one of the houses would overlook his kitchen . Francis Noel Duffy , who is married to Catherine Martin , the media minister , also complained that the scheme breached the development plans for the area of south Co Dublin where he lives on the basis of height and density -- but he was also worried future neighbours could look into his kitchen from their garden . While I suspect the thrill of lingering on the lawn to watch Duffy doing his washing up might eventually have paled , it was clearly too great a risk . The Green Party -- of which , again , Duffy is housing spokesman @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a year over the next government -- so long , presumably , as none of them overlooks anyone 's kitchen . Yet locals in towns such as Roscrea , Baltinglass and Newtownmountkennedy do not have the luxury of objecting to the height and density of accommodation for asylum seekers in their neighbourhoods . And people struggling to find affordable homes to rent or buy may have little sympathy for a homeowner who does n't want his kitchen overlooked from the garden of a dwelling in a much-needed development that could have housed more than 300 families . Being overlooked , when you live in a city , should never be grounds to object to a neighbouring development . The solution to Duffy 's concerns may also prove his party 's fate : curtains . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Additionally, it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'take the brain damage out of raising debt for small businesses' does not involve a causee NP object that participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to be a metaphorical expression about removing difficulty from a process, which does not align with the defined properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('some') + V1 ('pay off') + NP object ('doctors') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('having to be vaccinated'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the action of paying off doctors prevents the necessity of vaccination. The verb 'pay off' can be categorized under means to achieve a goal by enticement or bribery, fitting one of the verb categories for the construction. The NP object 'doctors' functions as a causee in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, and the sentence clearly conveys a prevention interpretation.

A resurfaced clip shows Donald Trump 's surgeon general pick Dr Janette Nesheiwat accusing the CDC of forcing unnecessary vaccines on children in a bid to potentially profiteer . The Fox News medical contributor and assistant medical director of CityMD appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight in 2022 to discuss the announcement that the CDC advisory committee voted unanimously to add the Covid shot to the childhood immunization schedule . Asked by Fox News host Tucker Carlson why the CDC would put this on their schedule , Ms Nesheiwat suggested that it did not make sense and it was ' maybe to profit . ' She continued : ' There 's no good reason to have a vaccine that ca n't stop disease , ca n't stop transmission of disease .

There 's no data or evidence that shows it 's of benefit ... that it can prevent disease , that it can prevent death . ' We need to stop with the fear mongering .

In the clip , father-of-four Mr Carlson also vented his outrage to the CDC 's vote , telling viewers : ' That means children will be forced to get this vaccination which is unnecessary , scientifically unjustifiable and dangerous in order to get an education in this country . ' Despite Ms Nesheiwat and Mr Carlson 's comments and wider backlash across the nation , the committee 's vote went into effect . Under the CDC 's current recommendations , all children should be vaccinated with ' at least one dose of the current COVID-19 ' at six months old . The decision added the vaccine to the schedule along with a number of other childhood vaccines including those to protect against chicken pox , polio , measles , mumps , rubella , diphtheria , tetanus , and pertussis , or whopping cough .

Exemptions can be from one , multiple or all required childhood vaccines . While rules differ state by state , in most cases , parents must receive documentation from a medical doctor stating a child should be exempt from vaccinations . The exemptions are then reviewed and granted by the child 's school . However , as the antivax movement has grown , so has the number of people applying for fake exemptions , with some even willing to pay off doctors to make up bogus medical excuses in order to get their child out of having to be vaccinated .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It uses the phrase 'get the most out of using Citlali', where 'using Citlali' is a gerund phrase but does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction as it lacks a causee and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Reuters Trump 's campaign speeches included pledges to boost domestic oil and natural gas output and to remove mandates on electric vehicle production , but he has yet to publish many specific new energy policies ( The opinions expressed here are those of the author , a market analyst for Reuters . ) LITTLETON , Colorado - President-elect Donald Trump 's support for the fossil fuel sector and climate scepticism have sparked dismay throughout the global climate tracking community , and fears that his policies may reverse global energy transition momentum . His campaign speeches included pledges to boost domestic oil and natural gas output and to remove mandates on electric vehicle production , but he has yet to publish many specific new energy policies . This lack of clarity has spurred despair among the climate community as it braces for the worst . But a look back at the trends across the U.S. energy landscape during Trump 's first term suggests there could be some bright spots . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ help shed light on how President Trump 's first term impacted the U.S. energy space , and what we might expect this time around . FOSSIL FUELLED The first Trump administration made a big deal out of supporting homegrown energy , especially output of crude oil and natural gas which both scaled record highs during Trump 's first term . However , U.S. oil and gas production had also scaled record highs during President Barack Obama 's terms , and have climbed even higher under Joe Biden . The fact that oil and natural gas output trended higher before and after Trump suggests that technological and operational prowess plays a bigger role than the White House occupant in driving U.S. energy production . That said , the first Trump administration did make a major impact on the international trade of U.S. oil and gas , by streamlining export permitting and promoting U.S. product exports . U.S. LNG exports in particular soared once Trump took office , jumping from under 200 billion cubic feet in 2016 - President Obama 's last year in office - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ year , according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration . U.S. crude oil exports also shot higher under the first Trump spell , jumping from just under 600,000 barrels a day in 2016 to 1.1 million barrels in 2017 , 2 million in 2018 , 3 million in 2019 and 3.2 million in 2020 . Given the change to the more environment-friendly Biden administration from 2021 , climate trackers had expected reduced production and exports of U.S. oil and gas . But the opposite has been the case , with output and exports hitting new highs in each year since Biden took office . With Trump back in power from next year , a continuation of those output and export trends looks likely . But the extent of both will likely be as much driven by the economics of extraction and shipment as it will be by any Trump policy tweaks . COAL COMFORT The coal market underscores the importance of market dynamics on fossil fuels . Under Trump 's watch , U.S. coal production managed only modest growth during his first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ year . Coal output has actually rebounded slightly during the Biden administration , but remains at roughly half the levels seen from 1990 through 2010 due to reduced coal use at home and abroad . This underscores the fact that U.S. fossil fuel production and exports are driven more by global demand and market economics than by domestic policy . CLEAN POWER MOMENTUM IS HARD TO STOP The generation mix within the domestic power sector can be more easily influenced by policy , as subsidies , tax breaks and other incentives can drive investment at the utility level over the course of an administration . However , the years-long power project development times means that any fuel mix changes can span presidential administrations , and are often driven more by utility needs than presidential decrees . That said , the Biden administration 's Inflation Reduction Act - which included measures to accelerate green energy adoption and production across the U.S. - has left an enduring imprint on the U.S. power industry . Climate advocates are concerned that Trump 's pro-fossil fuel stance and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of that momentum . But power and electricity generation data during Trump 's first term indicates that clean power progress is hard to stop , even by big supporters of oil and gas . During Trump 's first term , U.S. electricity production from clean sources increased by 7% , fossil-fired generation dropped by 4% , and total emissions from power generation declined by 12% , according to energy think tank Ember . Granted , clean power growth was higher under both Obama and Biden , expanding by 21% under Obama 's tenure and 13% under Biden . Yet power emissions have declined by only 6% under Biden , which illustrates that some trends are beyond the reach of bureaucrats . And there are some trends that no administration will want to stop , such as the lowering of generation costs from new production capacity , be it renewable or fossil-based . Trump has pledged to lower the cost of living and spur business growth during his next term , and his administration will know that cheap and abundant power will be needed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ produced from renewables and other clean power sources will be needed , and that more will be built even if output from fossil fuels also keeps climbing .

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('it takes the hassle out of having two different phone numbers'). It implies a prevention interpretation, where the action of 'taking the hassle' prevents the situation of 'having two different phone numbers'. The verb 'takes' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically'. The NP subject 'it' (referring to the paired SIM-only deals) is an inanimate force, and the NP object 'the hassle' is a causee in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

If you want two different phone numbers , getting two different phones is the most logical option . But that can be very expensive , and still means you have to carry around two devices almost everywhere . Luckily , there 's a much easier solution : dual-SIM phones . As the name suggests , they allow you to have two SIM cards ( and consequently , phone numbers ) on the same device . Paired with a couple of great SIM-only deals , it takes the hassle out of having two different phone numbers . However , not all dual-SIM phones are created equal . Some , such as Google Pixel phones or the Apple 's iPhone in most countries , combine one physical SIM slot with support eSIM . As useful as eSIM is , especially while travelling abroad , sometimes you ca n't beat the convenience of moving physical SIMs between devices in seconds . In this article , we 're only including handsets with slots for two physical SIM cards , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seen smartphone makers scramble to offer the biggest , brightest , highest-resolution , fastest-refreshing , toughest , flexible , foldable and even three-dimensional displays ; we 've seen an arms race in processors and graphics in the quest for the ultimate mobile performance ; a long-running game of how many cameras -- and then how many megapixels -- they can first squeeze on to the handset , and later hide out of sight ; a push for batteries that can go -- never mind all day -- but all week ; and new technologies that enable water resistant and vastly improve audio . We 've held your hand through a fascinating journey of mobile hardware , and today -- some 17 years later -- it 's the software smarts and once impossible-to-imagine AI capabilities that glue us to this path . We perform in-depth , real-world testing on every new dual-SIM phone that 's worth buying ( dozens every single year ) , adopting it as our primary phone for the most authentic experience possible and making sure we are in a position to give you the best possible @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the best phone you can buy , and the good news is that it supports two SIM cards . It 's arguably the ultimate smartphone , packing almost every premium feature you can expect into one huge device . However , the gorgeous 6.8-inch display and built-in S Pen stylus are certainly worth it . Other highlights include sublime performance from an overclocked version of the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and strong battery life from the 5000mAh cell . The cameras might not be the best on any smartphone , but they 're not far off , offering impressive versatility across four lenses . Samsung 's One UI software is intuitive and relatively easy to use , and the company 's new AI features are genuinely useful . Throw in a class-leading seven years of updates and you 've got yourself a superb phone . Aside from the imposing design and relatively slow charging , the price tag is the main thing that counts against the S24 Ultra . But if you can afford it , you wo n't be disappointed . Xiaomi @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , especially when combined with the flexibility of two physical SIM cards . Let 's talk about those cameras , then . Alongside the Photography Kit accessory ( sold separately ) , they transform the phone into a genuine DSLR replacement for many people . The image quality and versatility across all four 50Mp rear lenses and the 32Mp selfie camera is simply superb . There 's lots more to like too , including a gorgeous display , stunning premium design and great performance . Battery life is strong , and you get a 90W fast charger in the box . From a hardware perspective , it 's hard to fault . Aside from the price , the main reason you might not want to buy it is Xiaomi 's HyperOS software , which still contains a lot of bloatware and can get frustrating . But if you can look beyond this , the 14 Ultra will give you an unrivalled photography experience . Looking for something more affordable ? The regular Xiaomi 14 is a great alternative which also supports dual SIM . After @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ X7 series flagships outside China , the Find X8 series marks a triumphant return to Europe . The fact it Both the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro are excellent phones , but the latter has a slight upper hand . It 's powerful , good-looking , offers amazing battery life and has plenty of software perks . But it 's the cameras that set it apart from rivals , and turn a great phone into a superb one . For pure image quality , it 's probably only the Xiaomi 14 Ultra that can rival it right now for UK buyers . The phone is n't without its compromises -- there are a couple of small camera downgrades compared to the Find X7 Ultra , while the software takes some getting used to -- but there 's no doubt that the Find X8 Pro is up there with the very best phones right now . The inclusion of support for two physical SIM cards only sweetens the deal . The OnePlus Nord 4 is the best mid-range phone you can buy right now . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ most people , and has the added benefit of supporting dual-SIM cards . That starts with superb build quality , with one piece of sturdy aluminium extending across the back and sides of the phone . At the front is a gorgeous 120Hz OLED screen , supplemented by strong performance and all-day battery life . Provided you 're a fan of the design , the compromises here are concentrated around the cameras . There 's no telephoto lens , meaning zoom shots are disappointing , while the ultrawide OnePlus has opted for instead flatters to deceive . However , if you primarily use the main lens anyway , you wo n't be disappointed . And with six years of security updates , the Nord 4 's longevity is one of its key strengths . Overall , it 's the leading choice if you 're in the market for a mid-range Android phone , whether you need dual-SIM support or not . When you think of flip phones released in 2024 , Samsung 's Galaxy Z Flip 6 is probably the first one that comes to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Razr+ ( 2024 ) , depending on where you 're based , is a better choice for most people . While both devices support dual SIM , the Razr has the upper hand in some other key areas . The 4-inch , 165Hz outer screen is the big one . Not only is it significantly larger than rivals , but you can run any app you like on it without any complicated workarounds . The 6.9-inch , 165Hz internal display is just as impressive , with a crease that 's barely noticeable . While not quite as good as the best camera phones , the Razr 50 Ultra 's rear cameras can take great shots in a range of environments . However , Motorola has gone for a 2x telephoto rather than an ultrawide lens , while the internal selfie camera is n't very good . But with slick software ( despite some cover screen bugs ) , solid battery life and decent charging speeds , Motorola is onto a winner . The Z Flip 6 is better in some areas , including long software support @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ most people . The OnePlus 12 is significantly more expensive than the OnePlus 11 , which was a great handset for the money . But this extra expense is justified -- a stunning design , significant performance upgrade and the introduction of wireless charging make a real difference . Its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset speeds through tasks with ease ( including gaming ) , then combines with a 5400mAh battery for superb battery life . When you do run low , you can choose between 100W wired and 50W wireless charging , though the 80W charger in the box will be plenty fast enough for most people . The 120Hz AMOLED screen is among the largest on any phone at 6.82-inches , but also one of the best . The slick software experience is also a joy to use , even if the four OS updates and five years of security updates are a small step down from the best around . Rear cameras , a weakness of earlier OnePlus phones , are very good on the whole . But the ultrawide and selfie lenses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it 's not protected against submersion in water . Nonetheless , the OnePlus 12 still undercuts most flagships on price while offering a compelling experience . And with dual-SIM support , it 's impressively versatile . But its first attempt at a smartphone is an undoubted success , combining a fun look with solid core features and an impressively low price tag -- just ? 209/$199 . Its design is the clear highlight , with a back panel that can easily be swapped out and an attachment for a lanyard , kickstand , or card wallet , all of which CMF sells as optional extras . However , even if you do n't care about any of that stuff , the Phone 1 has strong performance and an attractive display , both of which are must-haves on a modern smartphone . Battery life is decent , while Nothing 's unique take on Android combines a unique look with no bloatware . The lack of NFC ( and so no support for contactless payments ) is the biggest potential dealbreaker , while the cameras and water @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 5G or A15 4G are the cheap phones to get if you value long software support , too . But as a complete package , the CMF Phone 1 is the best all-rounder in the budget smartphone market right now . If you want a cheap , reliable phone that retains dual-SIM support , this is the device for you . You still get most of the fundamentals of Samsung 's ultra-flagship , including a gorgeous large display , superb battery life , useful AI features and dual-SIM support . Samsung 's slick , AI-infused software also combines with a class-leading seven-year update commitment . US buyers will still get the overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset , but even the Exynos 2400 in the UK delivers strong performance . If you can do without a stylus or loads of storage but still want a dual-SIM Samsung flagship , the S24+ is the phone to get . If you want a mid-range dual-SIM phone that could easily pass as a flagship , the Xiaomi 14T is for you . It looks and performs a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just ? 549 in the UK . Sadly , it 's not available in the US . And there 's a lot to slick here , including a premium design complete with a stunning large OLED display . The cameras are surprisingly great , despite being a clear step down from Xiaomi 's class-leading 14 Ultra . Solid battery life is supported by impressive 67W fast charging , even if the necessary charger is n't in the box and there 's no wireless charging . This is a phone with almost no hardware weaknesses , though the software is still underwhelming at times . Google 's Circle to Search feature is genuinely useful , but Xiaomi 's own AI attempts are n't always successful . Xiaomi 's commitment to four major OS updates and five years of security patches is solid , though . And as an all-rounder , you 'll struggle to find anything better at this price point . You could step up to the 14T Pro , but the extra ? 150 ( it starts at ? 699 ) simply is n't worth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ regular Galaxy A14 was a slightly better buy than the A14 5G . But this year , the A15 5G 's better performance and 5G connectivity give it the edge , and there 's no competition in the US -- the cheaper A15 ( 4G ) is n't sold there . Essentially , what you 're getting here is a cheap device that nails the fundamentals of a great smartphone . It has a well-designed , premium build that could easily pass for a much more expensive device . Battery life is excellent , stretching to two full days with light usage . And the 90Hz display is a joy to use . The A15 5G might not have the AI features or seven years of updates from the flagship Galaxy S24 series , but One UI remains the best software you 'll find on a cheap phone . And Samsung 's commitment to four OS updates and five years of security patches is still better than any budget rival . If you can put up with unremarkable performance , no official water resistance rating and mediocre @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recommend . Adding dual-SIM support makes it even better . 1 . Something we 've noticed when shopping for dual-SIM phones is that the manufacturer very rarely provides any information about the functionality other than it exists . It does n't tell you how the dual-SIM functionality works in practice , nor whether both SIMs support 4G/5G , or even what size SIM cards they accept . You can never assume ; you 'll need to contact the manufacturer or check spec tables , reviews , or forums to find out this information . In all the dual-SIM phones we 've tested , both SIMs are on standby at all times ( known as dual-standby phones ) , but you can actively use only one SIM at a time . This means that either SIM can accept a phone call or text at any time , without you having to actively swap between them or reboot the phone . However , if you get a call on one number while a call @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ringing in your ear or give you the option to put the first caller on hold -- the call will simply not be successful . 2 . Dual-active SIM phones use two modems and allow you to receive calls on both numbers at once . If it 's you who wants to make a call or send a text , Android has a standard SIM Management menu that lets you specify which SIM should be used for voice calls , video calls , messages and mobile data . You can either specify a particular SIM for each of these tasks , or leave the setting as ' Always Ask ' . The data connection is where there seems to be a lot of confusion when it comes to dual-SIM phones . Whereas both SIM slots on some dual-SIM phones are capable of supporting 4G or 5G connections , you can use data connectivity on only one SIM at a time . Unlike with calls and texts , typically speaking the data connection ca n't be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ SIM you want to use rather than select one when prompted -- though some phones will let you set them to switch to the other SIM when the first ca n't make a connection . By default , when you are using the data connection on one SIM and a phone call comes in to the other , it will pause the data connection on the first . 3 . If you want to take advantage of both SIM card slots and expandable storage , your options will be a little limited . While most phones with expandable microSD storage also offer dual-SIM , typically the SD card has to use that second SIM slot , forcing you to choose between storage and the SIM . If this is a priority for you , make sure to check reviews and specs carefully for phones that support two SIMs and a microSD card simultaneously -- there are some out there -- or look out for a combo of microSD and eSIM support . 4 . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no. iPhones only ship with two physical SIM trays in mainland China , Hong Kong , and Macau , and even then it 's only some models . So , if you do n't live there , then you ca n't use two physical SIM cards in an iPhone . That 's why we have n't included any iPhones in our list above . However , every iPhone that supports eSIM -- those from the XS and XR onwards -- allows you to use a single physical SIM card along with an eSIM , and those from the iPhone 13 onwards even allow you to set up dual-SIM with two eSIMs . 5 . It 's a similar story for Google as for Apple . Phones from the Pixel 3a onwards allow you to use a single physical SIM along with a second eSIM , while the latest models -- from the 7 onwards -- include support for dual eSIM . However , none of the Pixel phones allow you to install two physical SIM cards @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at Tech Advisor , where he 's been a mainstay of the editorial team since 2019 .

The sentence 'maybe America needed something like the Beatles to lift it out of mourning' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject (America) + V1 (lift) + NP object (it) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (mourning). It also gives rise to a movement/extraction interpretation, where the Beatles are causing America to move out of a state of mourning. The verb 'lift' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically', which aligns with the construction's requirements. Additionally, the NP object 'it' refers to America, which is the causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'mourning'.

With his new , high-profile Disney+ rock documentary , the great filmmaker Martin Scorsese has done something few would have believed possible : he has made the Beatles boring . There is a prescient moment in the film , when a pale-faced 21-year-old Paul McCartney is being interviewed by a high-minded journalist , who asks what influence he thinks the Beatles will have on history and culture . McCartney looks completely abashed . " Culture ? It 's not culture ! It 's a good laugh ! " Well , there 's a lot of culture in Scorsese 's documentary , but not many good laughs . The journalist was on the right track , of course , and 60 years later a white-haired and scruffily bearded McCartney is in his element discussing his group 's historical and cultural impact , leading a camera crew around an exhibition of his own photographs from the Beatles ' first visit to America . " It was quite shortly after Kennedy had been assassinated -- maybe America needed something like the Beatles to lift it out of mourning and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Produced by Scorsese and directed by his long-time collaborator David Tedeschi ( who worked as editor on Scorsese 's far superior Bob Dylan and George Harrison documentaries ) , Beatles ' 64 is a very old-fashioned and quite po-faced cinematic essay . It is packed to the brim with overfamiliar repurposed news and TV footage , interspersed with aged talking heads making blindingly obvious points about generational shifts in politics , feminism and race relations that anyone interested in the subject has certainly heard a zillion times before . A movie about the Beatles that opens with two minutes of speeches by President Kennedy while contemporary pop star Billie Eilish sings a mournfully sad version of All My Loving is already taking itself way too seriously . The film is mainly enlivened by raw 16mm cin ? ma-v ? rit ? footage shot by the late Albert and David Maysles for their contemporaneous documentary What 's Happening : The Beatles in the USA . It has been cleaned up sonically and visually with techniques developed for Peter Jackson 's blockbuster 2021 Beatles documentary Get Back , but I am @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ original . One wonders why the movers and shakers at Disney and Apple did n't just restore and expand that , last released in 1991 as The First US Visit , and not currently available for streaming . There is great pleasure to be had in revisiting familiar footage of the Fab Four clowning for cameras , putting on silly voices , or joking among themselves almost oblivious to the media mayhem around them , but the joyousness is constantly being interrupted and overshadowed by old TV shows featuring feminists explaining that the Beatles represent a new model of manhood , or Marshall McLuhan lecturing about the impact of communications technology in the modern media age . Jackson 's Get Back effectively restored the Beatles with such vivacity that it rendered them as contemporary , a truth that tallies with our actual experience of music that refuses to fade from the soundtrack of our times . Beatles ' 64 's emphasis on vintage black-and-white footage and old interview subjects emotionally recalling their youth has the effect of turning the Fab Four into phenomena of the distant past , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ does n't quite capture the peculiarity of the juxtaposition . There they are , John , Paul , George and Ringo , in mop-top haircuts , dark suits , white shirts and ties , smoking furiously , floating through the pandemonium of hysterical fans and pompous media attention . There are moments of astonishing innocence , such as the expression of childish delight on John Lennon 's face when he plugs in a pair of earphones , giggling " You can hear your own voice talking ! " Yet somehow the Beatles themselves do n't actually seem young , perhaps because their personas have become so embedded in popular culture they have acquired an aura of timelessness . Literally in the case of Ringo , who is interviewed as an 84-year-old looking better than he did in his prime , full of vitality and evincing the same deadpan wit , reading from a Newsweek review of the Beatles in 1964 that describes them as " a nightmare " of " tight , dandified Edwardian beatnik suits and great pudding bowls of hair " playing music " that does away @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ John Lennon insists that the Beatles did not lead change but were part of it Credit : Disney+ As was the case with the Maysles brothers ' original film , the supercilious self-appointed male guardians of moral and cultural standards come across as ridiculous , while the energy , charm and spirit of the Beatles ' young ( and mainly female ) fans asserts itself as a perfectly reasonable response to the coming of a new age . In the end , the screaming girls were on the right side of history , and the critics who disparaged the Beatles ' musical accomplishments seem tone-deaf . In an interview from the 1990s ( repurposed from the Beatles Anthology series , itself surely overdue an overhaul ) , George Harrison makes the observation that " we were kind of normal and the rest of the world was crazy . That 's what it looked like to me . " It 's an impression the film ultimately reinforces , of a quartet of perfectly reasonable , charming , talented modern archetypes floating misunderstood through a mad moment in history . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Fab Four , then few of the talking heads can match the insight and articulacy of Lennon himself , captured in interviews from the 1970s , in which he outlines theories that the British musical explosion of the 1960s was a product of a " vacuum " created by the end of military conscription . " We were the army that never was . And the music came out of that . " Lennon insists that the Beatles did not lead change but were part of it . " My picture of it now is there was a ship going to discover the new world , and the Beatles were in the crow 's nest , on the same ship , and we just said ' Land Ho ! ' " There is an interesting moment when the 82-year-old McCartney recalls their insulting treatment during a reception at the British embassy in Washington . " We were kind of used to it , " he shrugs . " We 're working-class guys , and if you come up against posh people , you figure they are gon na @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up , as if fired by vengeful energy . " We did n't give a flying f--- ! , " he snaps . " They were working in an embassy , we were on the road rocking ! " Beatles ' 64 aspires to address this cultural clash , yet fails to evoke its rude , transgressive energy , perhaps hampered by the limitations of the source footage and the talking-heads format . It only really springs to life when the Beatles themselves are on screen . It feels as if there is a better film inside this one , struggling to get out . Maybe it is the Maysles original . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks a clear NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate that would induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a general outcome ('created kindness and warmth') from a situation ('something so horrific'), which does not align with the transitive out of -ing construction.

Speaking at a candle-lot vigil in memory of women and girls who have lost their lives to male violence in Merseyside , Leanne said the attack had left her " feeling unsafe " . And she said the girls ' memories as a " driving force to change things for other people in the future " .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'locked out of equipping certain Artifacts' involves a passive construction with 'locked out of' followed by a gerund phrase, but it lacks an NP object that functions as a causee and does not clearly induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Additionally, the verb 'locked' does not fit the semantic classes of verbs typically used in the transitive out of -ing construction.

Our Genshin Impact beginner 's guide is for anybody looking to jump into the vast world of Teyvat in 2024 but does n't know where to start , or needs explainers on one of the gacha game 's many features . Whether you 're a new or returning player , we 've covered all the essential information below , including tips and tricks for Genshin Impact , and explainers to refer back to if you want more detailed information on gameplay features and systems . If you 're just starting out your journey in Teyvat , we suggest playing through as much of the story as you can first ( this is called the Archon Quest ) , and getting to at least Adventure Rank 12 , as this is when Daily Commissions unlock . Complete four of these purple-coloured quests everyday and claim your rewards from Katheryne . Commissions are your daily source of Primogems , the primary currency used to buy Fate , which is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gacha system . Daily Commissions are also a great source of Adventure EXP , which is needed to raise your Adventure Rank in order to take part in story missions and limited-time events . Opening any chests you come across and activating Teleport Waypoints is also recommended , as they both give you Primogems , and Teleport Waypoints make travelling a lot easier . Finding chests and Teleport Waypoints will happen naturally as you explore . We 've got more information on what these activities mean below , but in general here 's everything you can do daily in Genshin Impact : Apart from the HoYoLAB login and Original Resin ( which replenishes once every eight minutes ) , the rest of these daily activities reset at 4am ( server time ) every day . You can send characters on Expeditions and still use them in your party . You do n't have to do all of these activities in one day , but if you want to make sure you 're not missing out on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them . If you want to save time , then we recommend dropping spending Original Resin , as it takes longer than all the other activities combined . When you reach Adventure Rank 24 you unlock the Adventure Encounters system , where you earn Encounter Points that can replace your Daily Commissions . This is a handy system if you prefer to tick-off your dailies while simply exploring or completing quests , as these tasks give you Encounter Points , which gives you the same amount of Primogems as Daily Commissions . Genshin Impact is pretty good for consistently sticking to a regular update schedule . Apart from one delay and a few reduced update times , there has been a new named update every six weeks . This update comes with a number like 3.3 or 3.4 . This resets the battle pass , adds new quests , and sometimes new features - like fishing , or the Genius Invokation card game . A card game was introduced during the 3.3 update . When there 's a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the game along with new systems and features linked to that region - like new Reputation rewards , collectibles , enemies , and main quests . Every three weeks there 's a Banner change that replaces the featured character and weapon Banners , meaning you have a higher chance of getting the characters or weapons featured . Character and weapon Banners usually change every three weeks . Throughout each update , there will be at least four limited-time events . Their lengths vary , but all of them will end before the new named update . Make sure you complete all that you can before their individual end dates , and spend any event currency in the special shops that pop up during some of the more unique events . You get 4-Stars Amber , Kaeya , Lisa , Xiangling , Collei , Lynette , and Kachina for free , but the main source of getting characters in Genshin Impact is by using Fate to Wish on Banners as part of the gacha system . While you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , there are plenty of ways to get free Primogems by just playing the game . To unlock Banners and the ability to Wish on them in Genshin Impact , you need to complete the ' Prologue , Act 1 : The Outlander Who Caught the Wind - Knights of Favonius ' Archon Quest . This is the menu where you spend your Fate to Wish on Banners . It may seem complicated and overwhelming at first , but it is optional , and if you want to know more , we 've got full explainers on how getting new characters works in our dedicated Banners , Fate , and the Pity and 50/50 system pages . You can also occasionally get a 4-Star character for free as part of limited-time events , and you can save up to buy 4-Star characters from the in-game shop - but this requires using currency you only get from Wishing on Banners . There are technically a few ways to level up your characters in Genshin Impact , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you can raise a character 's EXP by defeating enemies , bosses , and completing certain quests , it 's a ridiculously low amount compared to the best method . The best way to level up characters in Genshin Impact is to use EXP books called Wanderer 's Advice , Adventurer 's Experience , and Hero 's Wit . Purple books are the best character EXP sources . Here 's how much EXP you get from using one of each : Wanderer 's Advice - 1,000 EXP Adventurer 's Experience - 5,000 EXP Hero 's Wit - 20,000 EXP For comparison , defeating a regular enemy usually only gives your character 14 EXP . These EXP books are usually rewarded in limited-time events , but you can also get them from playing the game . Completing quests , opening chests , and taking part in the Blossom of Revelation Leyline recurring event ( the blue , foggy circle symbol on your map ) are some of the best ways of getting EXP books . Look out for this symbol in each @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ use these books , you need to go to the character menu then select the ' Level Up ' button displayed in the lower right-hand corner of the screen . Select what books you want to use ( the faded blue bar will show how much EXP you will gain ) then hit ' Confirm ' . This costs 1 Mora for every 5 EXP gained . Every ten or twenty levels , however , you will need to Ascend a character before you can level them up any further . Every character needs different types of Ascension materials , which range from items dropped from defeating regular enemies , bosses , and materials found growing in the wild . The higher the level , the more Ascension materials a character will need . Level 90 is the maximum for every character , but not everyone needs to be maxed out to be effective in your team . Save those resources unless you really need them ! Artifacts are items you give characters to raise their stats , but they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and 4-piece sets . If you 've ever played a Diablo game , it 's a pretty similar gear system . Unlike Diablo , however , you 're not locked out of equipping certain Artifacts if they are n't meant for a certain type of character , which can make the system pretty overwhelming for beginners . Get a good set or two for your characters to improve their skills . At the beginning , you should focus on trying to equip 2-piece or 4-piece Artifact sets on your characters . You 'll only have lower rarity sets near the start , but that 's perfectly fine for the level of enemies you 'll be up against at this point . If you do have a lot of repeats , that 's the point where you should pay attention to the main stat and sub stat numbers . These can raise your attack , health , critical hit , Elemental Recharge , and Elemental Mastery capabilities . Each character should ideally prioritise stats that are relevant to the build you 're running on them . The numbers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and sub stats . With that said , you can almost ignore Artifacts at the beginning of the game . When you play more and the enemy encounters become tougher , that 's when you should aim to get better Artifacts for your characters . You can get more Artifacts by searching chests , buying them from main cities , completing quests , and achieving tasks from the Adventurer 's Handbook . The best way to get good Artifacts in Genshin Impact , however , is to complete Domains and Boss Domains . Domains are the black diamond symbols marked on your map , and Bosses are usually a unique circle symbol . Primogems in all their impractically shaped glory . Primogems are the rarest and most sought after currency in Genshin Impact , as it 's what you need to exchange for Wishes ( Fate ) to get characters as part of the gacha system . You can also use them to buy Resin , but we recommend only using Primogems for buying Fate if you want a mostly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ every activity in Genshin Impact rewards Primogems , but it does take a while to save them up . Limited-time events , Daily Commissions/Adventure Encounters , and redeeming codes are some of the best ways to consistently get Primogems . Check out our dedicated Primogems page for a more detailed explanation on all the ways you can get Primogems in Genshin Impact . The Battle Pass is an entirely optional feature that rewards you for completing daily , weekly , and event tasks . It 's unlocked at Adventure Rank 20 , and there 's a free tier and a premium tier ( called the Gnostic Hymn ) . You can get a wide range of items and materials from the Battle Pass , including Fate , Character EXP books , Mora , Mystic Enhancement Ore , Primogems , Artifacts , and a choice of five weapons on the premium tier . We have a more detailed explanation in our dedicated Adventure Rank and World Level page , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ start quests and events , and World Level is how difficult the enemies are . A higher World Level also increases the quality of your rewards from Domains , and Bosses . Adventure Rank stops at Level 60 , but most quests and events only need you to be at Level 20 . You ca n't claim Adventure Rank rewards after levelling up unless you 're at the right World Level . Go to a Katheryne in any main city to claim Adventure Rank rewards . When you get to a high enough Adventure Rank , you will have to complete a quest to test and see if you 're ready to increase your World Level . It 's not recommended to do this until you 're sure you want to take on higher-level enemies . It 's sometimes unavoidable , though , as you ca n't climb Adventure Ranks until you complete this quest when you receive it . They 're awkwardly named , but Archon Quests are actually your main storyline quests and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ replaced Story Quests after version 5.0 , but only for Natlan characters . Archon Quests follow the Traveler and Paimon 's journey through Teyvat 's nations as they meet each of the gods as they look for the Traveler 's sibling . They 're labelled in Acts and Chapters , with the prologue taking place in Mondstadt , and Interlude Archon Quests taking place in between main Chapters . Raiden Shogun is a big part of Inazuma 's Archon Quest . Story Quests are usually unlocked by spending Story Keys , earned from completing Daily Commissions/Adventure Encounters . They unlock at Adventure Rank 26 . You need to complete certain Story Quests in order to continue with some earlier Archon Quests . There are certain Story Quests that are available outside of spending Story Keys , but not many . We recommend completing these when they appear , as they are usually needed to progress with the Archon storyline . Events are time-limited quests that are regularly added to Genshin Impact . There are always Adventure Rank requirements for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Quest requirements . For example , any event in Inazuma requires you to have completed the Ritou Escape Plan part of the Chapter 2 , Act 1 Archon Quest , which opens up the region to you . If you meet the requirements , we recommend participating in every event that you can . They 're a great source of Primogems , level up materials , Mora , and sometimes even offer a free 4-Star character or weapon . There 's also usually one main event with side content involving lots of main characters . These are worth doing for their story content alone , as once the event ends that content is unfortunately gone forever . Wondering what that crescent moon symbol in the upper right-hand corner of your map is ? This is called Original Resin and it 's the currency you use in exchange for claiming rewards from taking on Domains , Leyline Outcrops , and Bosses . These challenges are where you get Character EXP books , Artifacts , and Ascension materials from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Original Resin you currently have . Original Resin replenishes every day at a rate of one every eight minutes , capping out at 160 . Fragile Resin is a consumable item that can be used to instantly replenish 60 Original Resin , which can go past the cap , up to 2,000 . We do n't recommend worrying about Original Resin in the beginning , unless you 're looking for a daily source of Adventure Rank EXP on top of completing your Daily Commissions/Adventure Encounters . If you do n't care about optional combat challenges , then you can completely ignore the Spiral Abyss unless you want some extra Primogems and other rewards , or two free 4-Star characters . The Spiral Abyss is unlocked at Adventure Rank 20 , and is accessed from a portal on an island in Musk Reef . You build one or more teams to battle mobs of enemies to clear chambers and floors in the Abyss . The higher you climb , the harder the enemies become . When you complete the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which refreshes its challenges and rewards twice a month . This is very high level stuff though , so there 's no need to worry about it at the beginning , or even the mid and end game if you do n't want to . Achievements are in-game accolades that reward you with Primogems . Visiting their hub menu is a great way to find ways to earn more Primogems quickly , but some take far longer to unlock than others ! There are Achievements for every type of gameplay in Genshin Impact . You 'll get them for completing quests , exploring , opening chests , playing cards , fishing , beating bosses , Levelling up characters , performing Elemental Reactions , and many , many more activities ! There 's always a lot of things going on at once in Genshin Impact , but over time you will get used to it when you start to understand the basic systems and update schedule more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to find your way through the many , many menus though , as we still get lost sometimes . Why have one main menu when you can have three , right ? There are some things that are good to know that are n't as essential as the explainers we have above , but will make your time exploring Teyvat a lot easier , especially at the beginning of the game . Here 's some tips and tricks for Genshin Impact that we wish we knew before starting : Use HoYoLab site or app - You can log in daily or complete special online activities for free rewards like Primogems , Mora , and level up materials . Do n't forget to cook - Meals heal characters and raise attack , defence , and critical hit stats . Some characters will even give you more food , or return resources if you select them in the cooking menu . Use Statues of Seven - These are where you fast travel to instantly heal your party , or bring ' oculus ' collectibles found floating every @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mondstadt , and giving them to statues in the Mondstadt will give you rewards , including increasing your stamina . Do n't leave anything behind - Everything dropped by an enemy can be used to upgrade characters and weapons , and anything found in the environment can be used in cooking , crafting , or sometimes even to level up your characters . Create an exploration team - Throughout the regions , you 'll come across small environmental puzzles that require you use a specific element or weapon type . The recommended elements to bring in your party change with each region , but having an archer is always recommended . Some characters also mark Ascension materials on your map , an incredibly useful skill when farming for them . Use the Adventure 's Handbook - This book gives you a good set of goals to work towards at the beginning , but will also tell you where to find specific types of enemies . This is useful if you need to farm resources and are looking for enemies that drop them Press the navigate button @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see where it is on the map . Follow the floating blue Seelies for hidden rewards - These ghost-looking creatures are found all over the map and will lead you to hidden chests . Do n't spend Primogems on Aquaint Fate - It 's Intertwined Fate you need to Wish for the event characters , and Acquaint for the permanent Banner available . While the permanent character and weapon Banner does have good characters on it , they 're also included on event Banners , meaning you will get them eventually just by wishing on the event character Banners with Intertwined Fate . 5-Star characters and weapons are n't automatically better than 4-Stars - It 's all about making the best teams that work well together in Genshin Impact . A team of 4-Stars who create more damage by activating and combining elements or healing and shielding is far more desirable than only using a 5-Star with good damage numbers but lacklustre support from the rest of the team . With weapons , it 's usually best to look at the bonus it gives rather than its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these icons can save you a lot of time when farming for materials ! Following a guide will help , but nothing beats following your own markers , as they appear on your mini-map . It 's also great for marking good mining or food item areas . Do n't ignore events - Events are limited-time quests that offer a lot of rewards , including free characters sometimes . Once they 're over you ca n't claim any of their rewards , however , so prioritise them over regular quests when you can . Check out all the shops in a new city - You 'll be surprised at the useful items you can find being sold in some cities . Each region will also have a dedicated place where you exchange Sigils with for rewards - just like the ' Oculus ' , these are different collectibles for each region . When you 're ready to tackle other features and systems in Genshin Impact , you can refer back to this list for detailed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Read this next Jessica Orr : Jessica is a guides writer from Northern Ireland who likes screaming at her TV . Often at horror movies , occasionally at a Fortnite win . When not damaging her vocal cords , Jessica likes stressing over her inventory in RPGs , and getting lost in open worlds . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object between the verb 'tries to get' and 'out of helping search for Darren'. Additionally, there is no clear movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, and the verb 'get' does not align with the typical verbs used in the construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'kicked out of parking spaces' involves a passive construction with 'parking spaces' as the object of the preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'getting the best out of' which is a different construction and does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate that would induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of underperforming stars' is not a VP[-ing] predicate but rather a noun phrase, and the overall meaning does not align with the transitive out of -ing construction as defined.

Though they narrowly failed to keep their 100% record intact last time out , Anderlecht are one of four teams tucked behind flawless leaders Lazio at the midpoint of the new league phase . Les Mauve et Blanc went 1-0 up in the 85th minute before drawing with Latvia 's RFS earlier this month , becoming only the sixth team to score the opening goal so late in a Europa League match without going on to win . Nonetheless , they have otherwise flourished since the departure of former boss Brian Riemer , and 36-year-old coach David Hubert has made quite an impact , getting the best out of underperforming stars such as Kasper Dolberg , who has scored five goals in his last two league games . Indeed , Anderlecht racked up 11 goals in two wins either side of the international break , swatting aside Cercle Brugge and then nine-man Gent to claim fourth spot in the Belgian Pro League standings .

That bodes ill for a side struggling to meet expectations both in Europe and on the domestic scene , as the Dragons have recently lost three straight games amid turmoil off the pitch . Leaving the Portuguese giants on their worst run since 2008 , Sunday 's shock 2-1 defeat against third division Moreirense in the Taca de Portugal was followed by angry ultras attacking the club bus with projectiles including fireworks .

WHEN the authorities in Westminster tell us that something is all in the name of progress , we should run a mile as we know it 's absolutely never the case and is almost always a way of the authorities squeezing even more money out of something to try fill the Treasury coffers and in many cases to also line their own pockets . The English Parliament did learn from the best though , none other than the leaders of the not-so-glorious Empire and the East India Company back in the day . They saw a happy , prosperous India , and duly told them their country was broken and they were the very people to fix it for them , with a little persuasion from the odd cannon or two , of course . Trillions of pounds later they were shown the door . On a far smaller scale they are now doing the same with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ economy and make people 's money safer . Here they go again playing on people 's fears as ever , when the council pension funds are far from broken , but hey ... greed does terrible things to some people . Whether it 's the genuinely idiotic so-called " smart " meters , the closing down of all the youth clubs everywhere and wondering why juvenile crime is through the roof , the closing down of all our town centre stores , the beating heart of every community , to allow the non-tax-paying giants to prosper at the expense of everything we have ever known , as quietly political parties get donations into their coffers instead of the giant companies paying their taxes . Whether it 's the deregulation of the banks , which should have seen Gordon Brown and Tony Blair jailed , or a Prime Minister allowing companies to start closing their final-salary pension schemes and in doing so allowing millions of people to be quite literally robbed of a secure retirement they worked for all their lives -- more often than not in poorer paid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mention all these is that this latest proposal to merge all the council pension funds is an absolute disaster waiting to happen and more worryingly Labour know it , but such is their genuine stupidity and lack of an ounce of genuine leadership they are now putting yet more lives at risk , and this time it 's millions of people . So rather than leaving the separate pension funds running along nicely as they are , so that if in the most unlikely event of one of the funds starts to fail , only one will be affected and the dozens of others will be fine , these walking , talking dummies need to put even more people at risk by downright lying that these new " mega " funds will outperform the old ones , when in reality they will still be being run by the same fund managers , but will also have to combat the huge transfer and management fees incurred in the process and in case you are unaware , the move to the mega funds will make someone rich beyond their wildest dreams @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . This stinks to the high heavens but keeps Labour on target to ruin just about everyone 's lives they possibly can , excluding their rich buddies of course . It just completes the circle as they have already attacked the children and their young parents through the inhumane two-child cap , the workers by over-taxing small and medium-sized businesses who in many cases simply wo n't be able to increase their employees ' wages , take on any new staff and are more likely in reality will be having to let people go . They have attacked the employers , they have attacked those on benefits by even trying to interview people in their sick beds and if you tell me that dimwitted dolt Wes Streeting is not a genuine Tory I will eat my hat . And of course before Labour even had time to get their coats off and hung on the back of the door , they were attacking and badly damaging the pensioners ' lives too . What a lovely bunch these little public school kids are .

I 'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here ! star Danny Jones was forced to tell his fellow campmate Dean McCullough just to ' get on with ' his chores in camp - as tensions continue to rise . Radio presenter Dean , 32 , has been causing havoc in the camp after a run-in with Coronation Street star Alan Halsall last week and after he decided to opt out of doing a Bushtucker trial only mere minutes in . On tonight 's instalment of the ITV programme , Dean is seen complaining about his camp chores - but new camp leader Danny , 38 , is having none of it . In the camp , Melvin continues with his water duties and Dean is nowhere to be seen . As Melvin tells his fellow campmates : " This is a lone man situation , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tasked with carrying one pot of water back to camp , he told his fellow campmates : " That is no joke , the pot is so heavy . " As he said : " I hate doing the water guys I 've said it , I 'm just gon na have to hold my hands up , it 's an awful job and I hate it , and I do n't wan na do it anymore . Guys I ca n't , it 's not for me . " As he continued , Danny the camp leader said to Dean : " Just get on with it mate . " As Melvin encouraged Dean to carry on fetching water with him , and the camp told him to adopt a positive attitude , Dean said : " Look , no beef , no drama , I just hate my job . " Melvin joked : " Listen , your new name is Houdini because you like to disappear . " The camp descended into laughter as Oti exclaimed : " Shots fired ! " while Dean was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ opinions since joining the I 'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here camp , but one radio co-star has jumped to his defence . The early morning presenter for Radio 1 has faced countless trials in his stay so far Down Under , screaming the phrase ' I 'm a celebrity , get me out of here ' on two occasions . And as tension started to rise in camp , he also clashed with Coronation Street star Alan Halsall , who tried to wake him to do his chores . However , his radio co-star Danni Diston has defended him and joked : " I did think in my head he 's probably having a bit of a lie in out there , " before saying he 'll be enjoying getting more rest in camp . Dean is usually on air from 5am to entertain the early risers . And Danni continued to tell the Sun , he 's usually very cheerful . " I have never really experienced a grumpy Dean so I 'm lucky in that sense . I do n't think he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and you have to be quite up and on it to do earlies . " She added that his small fallout with Alan could have been due to tiredness or the fact camp are starting to go hungry .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'opt out of doing', which is a different construction where 'opt out of' is followed by a gerund, but there is no NP object between the verb and 'out of'. Additionally, there is no causer-causee relationship or the specific interpretations (movement/extraction or prevention) associated with the transitive out of -ing construction.

I 'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here ! star Danny Jones was forced to tell his fellow campmate Dean McCullough just to ' get on with ' his chores in camp - as tensions continue to rise . Radio presenter Dean , 32 , has been causing havoc in the camp after a run-in with Coronation Street star Alan Halsall last week and after he decided to opt out of doing a Bushtucker trial only mere minutes in . On tonight 's instalment of the ITV programme , Dean is seen complaining about his camp chores - but new camp leader Danny , 38 , is having none of it . In the camp , Melvin continues with his water duties and Dean is nowhere to be seen . As Melvin tells his fellow campmates : " This is a lone man situation , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tasked with carrying one pot of water back to camp , he told his fellow campmates : " That is no joke , the pot is so heavy . " As he said : " I hate doing the water guys I 've said it , I 'm just gon na have to hold my hands up , it 's an awful job and I hate it , and I do n't wan na do it anymore . Guys I ca n't , it 's not for me . " As he continued , Danny the camp leader said to Dean : " Just get on with it mate . " As Melvin encouraged Dean to carry on fetching water with him , and the camp told him to adopt a positive attitude , Dean said : " Look , no beef , no drama , I just hate my job . " Melvin joked : " Listen , your new name is Houdini because you like to disappear . " The camp descended into laughter as Oti exclaimed : " Shots fired ! " while Dean was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ opinions since joining the I 'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here camp , but one radio co-star has jumped to his defence . The early morning presenter for Radio 1 has faced countless trials in his stay so far Down Under , screaming the phrase ' I 'm a celebrity , get me out of here ' on two occasions . And as tension started to rise in camp , he also clashed with Coronation Street star Alan Halsall , who tried to wake him to do his chores . However , his radio co-star Danni Diston has defended him and joked : " I did think in my head he 's probably having a bit of a lie in out there , " before saying he 'll be enjoying getting more rest in camp . Dean is usually on air from 5am to entertain the early risers . And Danni continued to tell the Sun , he 's usually very cheerful . " I have never really experienced a grumpy Dean so I 'm lucky in that sense . I do n't think he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and you have to be quite up and on it to do earlies . " She added that his small fallout with Alan could have been due to tiredness or the fact camp are starting to go hungry . The altercation came as Dean continued to sleep while Jane Moore was left to complete their firewood collecting task . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'The Beatles' (implied causer) lifts 'America' (causee) out of 'mourning' (VP2[-ing]). It induces a movement/extraction interpretation, as 'The Beatles' are causing 'America' to move out of a state of mourning. The verb 'lift' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure metaphorically. The NP object 'America' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'mourning'. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Sir Paul McCartney has seen the world over the last 60 years since the Beatles went to the USA in 1964 , but sadly for the last few decades he has been without two of his closest friends John Lennon and George Harrison . Asked what he would like to say to them now he says simply : " I would say I love you , because growing up in Liverpool you never said that . You never told a guy you loved him , unless he was like your brother or something , and they were brothers . " The tender moment comes in a new interview which forms part of the documentary Beatles ' 64 released on Friday , which is all about Beatlemania in the Sixties and how it grew across America . The documentary captures The Beatles ' 1964 United States debut , a three week stay which catapulted them to global fame and came in the aftermath @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ When we came America had been in mourning . It was quite shortly after Kennedy had been assassinated , maybe America needed something like The Beatles to lift it out of mourning and just sort of say , life goes on , the joy you see in these audiences , is like being lifted out of sorrow . " McCartney and Lennon already had American influences from the very beginning of their song writing before they had been there . Looking at a photo of his own childhood home at an exhibition , McCartney says : " Me and John could just sit around writing stuff , we 'd written the song She Loves You in the next room , and my dad was in the other room , so we came in to play it to him , for the first time . She Loves You , yeah yeah yeah , and he 's at the end of it , he said , ' boys it 's very nice but could n't you sing she loves you yes , yes , yes ? ' . " He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But you know , coming to America , this was to us , the land of freedom . It was funny , because once we got here , we learned that was n't quite the story . " It was only a year or so later that McCartney 's dad would have waved him off to the States . On February 7 , 1964 , The Beatles arrived in New York City to excitement and hysteria . Once they landed at Kennedy Airport Beatlemania swept New York and then began to grow around the entire country as newspapers and TV news bulletins captured the hysteria amongst the youth buying their records . Their debut performance on The Ed Sullivan Show attracted more than 73 million viewers , the most watched television event of its time . Early on the trip also came a moment which was probably the last time The Beatles were able to hang out unnoticed without being mobbed- after Ronnie Spector took them to Harlem to hang out . On camera Ronnie explains : " John called me at my house , and he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't get out . The whole place is surrounded by girls around the whole Plaza building ' . " So what did I do ? I came down with the two Ronettes . We went upstairs . So we 're upstairs , having finger sandwiches on the floor , listening to 45s having a great time with all the Beatles . " And then every minute The Supremes came in , Jay and the Americans , they would say , ' Damn it , we have to get them take pictures ' . " They wanted to know everything about America , the food , the groups , the dancing . They asked us everything about Little Richard , Chuck Berry , the Marvelettes , you know . So they 'd say , ' what did they do on stage ? ' " I 'll tell you the truth . They had to escape . They were prisoners . So I got a limousine . We went down the back stairs and went to Harlem . I said , I 'm taking you to Harlem . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't . They thought they were a bunch of Spanish dogs because of Spanish Harlem . So they did n't pay them any mind . " We went into Sherman 's BBQ . It was on 151street . They went in and they loved it , because nobody recognised them . You know , the black guys are eating their ribs , and the Spanish guys , and nobody paid them any attention . And it was great . They loved that , that nobody paid them any attention . See how sweet they were . " The trip also had a big impact on culture and future of music , thanks to the Beatles ' influences which were predominantly black musicians . Singer Smokey Robinson praises the band for speaking up about their love of black music after covering his song You Really Got A Hold Of Me on their second LP With The Beatles . He explains : " I was elated . They were the first white group that I had ever heard in my life , the first white artist ever of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say ' Yeah , we grew up listening to black music . We love Motown . We listen to black music ' . " No other white artists had ever said that . Not any one of magnitude and until the Beatles said that there was a lot of segregation going on , especially in the south at that time , for shows . " I 've been shot at for wanting to go to the toilet , you know what I mean ? So it was like that , you know ? And the saving grace was the music , because it gave those kids a common love . It gave them something that they both loved and they both enjoyed . " So when we first started going there , we would play these big arenas , and there 'll be a rope down the centre of the arena , and white kids on one side , black kids on the other side . And after they start hearing the music , and we go down there a year later , you see white boys @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and they were all dancing together and enjoying that music and having a good time . Music is the international language . It 's the barrier breaker . " Fans also remember the time fondly , and how the Beatles and their music broke the mould and changed music and lives forever . Screaming girls on the edge of hysteria talk about how " beautiful and fabulous " the Fab Four are . Other girls buy lists of gifts to give them should they ever get to meet them in the Plaza hotel . " The voices of those girls are fresh and surprising , " says the director David Tedeschi . " The Beatles is a story we feel like we know , but those girls are something else . What they were feeling was so visceral they could n't put it into words . That 's why they screamed . And that was the story . " The film features some unseen footage on raw 16mm cin ? ma-v ? rit ? footage shot by the late Albert and David Maysles @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in part unaware of the growing hysteria beginning outside which would remain for years to come . But although the Beatles were a hit almost everywhere they went - including New York and then Washington on this tour , there was one downbeat moment on the tour . McCartney recalls their insulting treatment during a reception at the British embassy in Washington where staff called them scruffy . George Harrison was left close to tears and Lennon stormed out . " We were kind of used to it , " McCartney says looking back with a shrug . " We 're working-class guys , and if you come up against posh people , you figure they are gon na look down on you . " We did n't give a flying f**k . They were working in an embassy , we were on the road rocking ! " |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'got out of' in a different context, where 'coming to Unwind' is the activity from which the young person derives benefit, not a case of causing or preventing an action.

The quality of bathing water has been found to have declined in Scarborough 's North and South bays following an annual review . The classification of the bathing water quality in Scarborough 's North Bay has declined from ' good ' to ' sufficient ' while the South Bay remains on the lowest rating of ' poor ' , according to the Environment Agency 's and Defra 's annual classifications of bathing water sites in England . Meanwhile , Sandsend , Whitby , and Cayton Bay have retained their ' excellent ' ratings , Reighton has gone from ' good ' to ' excellent ' , and Robin Hood 's Bay has gone from ' good ' to ' sufficient ' . This year , 27 new bathing water sites were designated as ' poor ' which is the biggest ever increase in new designations in a single year .

Why should a few at the top make huge profits out of something we all need ? Emma Hardy , the water minister , said : " These figures are unacceptable and show that too many of our popular swimming spots are polluted . " That 's why we are placing water companies under special measures through the water bill , which will strengthen regulation including new powers to ban the payment of bonuses for polluting water bosses and bring criminal charges against persistent lawbreakers . " Yorkshire Water has completed a ? 2m project to reduce discharges from a storm overflow into the North Sea at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Road Bridge storm overflow near Scalby Beck . Freddie Drabble , clean water campaigner and leader of Sons of Neptune , recently said it was " unfair that the South Bay will continue to have a ' poor ' rating next year , with all the negative publicity and impact on tourism it will bring when significant investment and progress has been made . " Mr Drabble added : " There is , of course , a lot more to do in Scarborough , but by continuing to work together and pool research we hope further improvements will be delivered " Mike Dugher , deputy director for the Environment Agency in Yorkshire , said : " Across Yorkshire , 60% of our bathing waters are rated as good or excellent but any drops in quality are disappointing and must be addressed .

The sentence 'Their second goal came out of nothing.' does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object and the VP2[-ing] predicate, and it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the origin of the goal without involving a causee or a specific means of action.

There were mixed emotions for Margate player-boss Ben Greenhalgh after their comeback draw with Erith Town on Saturday . Gate trailed to a first-half goal from former full-back Ross Craig and a rare mistake from young goalkeeper Tom Wray allowed the Dockers to double their tally in the 72nd minute . Midfielder Brandon Davey - has scored three goals in as many games for Margate .

Winger Jordan Ababio then found himself clean through , only for the referee to blow the full-time whistle before he could get his shot off , as it finished 2-2 in Isthmian South East . " I think - frustratingly - we did better without the wind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ downwind in the first half , we did n't make the most of it .

" The stalemate extended Margate 's unbeaten home league start to the season . " We always do quite well against the wind at Margate , " revealed Greenhalgh . " That involves us playing into our fans , who give us a massive lift . " Their second goal came out of nothing . It 's an uncharacteristic mistake from Tom @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for their striker to score . " But it 's a great reaction from the boys and I 've put it into Brandon Davey for the first goal . " Brandon played a little bit higher up the pitch and got his rewards , and Max came on and showed why we 've brought him in . Greenhalgh said : " I do n't want to put Ross down at all but , without the wind , it was probably going quite a way over the crossbar ! " Fair play to Ross . He just wanted games and he 's getting that at Erith Town . " It just so happened when he was here that he was competing with Kai Garande , who has been one of our strongest performers all season , for a place . " Margate faced Erith Town without suspended winger Enoch Muwonge and playmaker Ben Allen , who pulled out during the warm-up .

" He has tried to rush it a little bit , we have tried to rush it a little bit but now it 's about making sure he 's right for the rest of the season . " Margate progressed to the third round of the Velocity Cup at Ashford last Tuesday . Five-goal young striker Louie Atkins led them to a 6-0 victory , with both teams naming much-changed sides . Davey had netted first at Homelands . Greenhalgh said : " They fielded a couple of young players but we did , as well .

Davey scored for the third time in as many games but Ernie Batten 's troops came roaring back to leave Ababio 's late strike in vain in their 4-2 loss . Next up for Margate in the league is a trip to basement boys Phoenix Sports on Saturday . Their main threat will be Richard Pingling , who has scored six goals in seven matches for the club . " They have got a lot of new players , Phoenix , and their results have started to pick up a bit , " said Greenhalgh .

Newcastle United 's demoralising loss to West Ham in the Premier League at the weekend has prompted one columnist to call for the team to find a modern Peter Beardsley or Paul Gascoigne - and Chronicle Live readers in our comments section think that the club may have already let one slip through their fingers . Columnist John Gibson writes that Newcastle United are " not blessed with liberal splashes of flair and inspiration " , and need a creative type who can make something out of nothing . The club have some big name midfielders , but none , as Gibson says , " possess the sheer craft and vision that in one decimating movement can turn the mundane into a work of art . " He adds : " Where is the new Beardsley ? Gazza ? Terry Hibbitt or Tony Green for the older enthusiasts ? Nor for that matter do United have enough power across the front three to blow the hat off a bystander if Alexander Isak is being well marked or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 've said , it is becoming increasingly obvious we are what we are . Five wins , three draws , and four defeats in 12 outings is not the record of a team bursting a gut to make Europe but a team 10th in a 20-club league . " Reader Petrus thinks that a solution could come from within , if manager Eddie Howe will allow it : " Every team would like a Beardsley and Gazza . Perhaps a player will emerge from the youngsters we have . In the meantime it would help if Howe started with his best 11 players and stop waiting until we go 1 down . Barnes & Tonali , Joelinton , Bruno , and Gordon are top players and need to start , he needs find a way . " Commenter Sussex Mal writes : " Could n't agree more John . Think we should have taken Bruno 's advice to get his mate Paqueta onboard . He was exceptional last night and provides exactly the type of creativity we need . " Sickntired says : " Eddie would need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and he sure does n't seem keen on that . If he was then I 'd suggest we go 4-2-3-1 right now , and play Barnes through the middle in support of Isak , and with Gordon on the left . " Jobo1 thinks that modern football has made the " flair player " increasingly rare : " The trouble today is you can find a player with the skills of a Gazza/Beardsley , but today 's coaches will knock their individual skills out of them to suit today 's way of playing . " DukeLeblanc reckons that we had the right player at the wrong time : " The author mentions needing flair players , but the manager sold Saint-Maximin for the likes of Barnes . Its becoming evident that more time and money spent will only see more of the same mediocrity . The acquisitions of Tonali and Barnes are good examples of big money spent and the manager does n't seem to know how to assimilate them . " Timbucked2 agrees : " You mean like a Saint-Maximin , who was sold for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had one decent game in 10 ! " But reader Sheara thinks he was the right man for the job at the wrong time : " Great player . Wish we could get him back . " |

The Light Blues were held to a 1-1 draw by Dundee United at Ibrox and are now a whopping 11 points behind Celtic in the title race , having lost three and drawn two in the league already . This means that the Gers , who are third in the table , may already be questioning whether or not they are still in the title race , against a relentless Hoops team . Clement will , therefore , be plotting ways for his side to improve and gain more consistency in their performances , in an attempt to catch up with their Glasgow rivals . The Belgian boss , however , will also be wary of what these results mean for his future . Football Insider reports that he will be given until , at least , the League Cup final clash with Celtic at Hampden Park next month before the board make a decision on his position . He may hope that , after that final , the club decide to give him and Nils Koppen a chance to make further changes to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Championship forward According to the Yorkshire Evening Press , Rangers are one of a number of clubs eyeing up a swoop for Leeds United centre-forward Joe Gelhardt . The report claims that interest is building in the former Wigan Athletic starlet ahead of the January window , as he has not played regularly for the Whites so far this season . It states that there is ' enthusiasm ' from the player 's camp to pursue a potential loan move away from Elland Road ahead of the second half of the season , but it does not reveal whether or not Leeds are prepared to sanction a deal . The YEP reveals that there was interest , including from Rangers , in a loan for Gelhardt in the summer transfer window but the Whites were unwilling to send him away at the time . It is now said that Portsmouth , Stoke City , Plymouth Argyle , Preston North End , Rangers , and two unnamed clubs from Belgium are lining up swoops to sign the English forward in January , due to his willingness @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claims that they are all interested in exploring a loan agreement for the 22-year-old dynamo , whilst it remains to be seen whether or not the English side would entertain any permanent offers . Mega money deals , controversial moves and big-name flops . This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast . Whether it is on loan or on a permanent deal , Clement and Koppen - should the former still be in his post - should push to win the race for the talented youngster . He has yet to make a breakthrough at Leeds in the Championship but his form at youth level and his previous experience in the Premier League suggests that the potential is there for him to be a star for Rangers Since the start of the 2023/24 campaign , Gelhardt has only started two matches and made 12 appearances in the second tier of English football , which means that he has not had many opportunities to showcase his quality or develop as a player on the pitch . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Premier League under Marcelo Bielsa and Jesse Marsch , though , with a return of two goals and four assists in 35 top-flight outings , despite only starting six of those matches . Unfortunately , though , Gelhardt was unable to kick on and establish himself as a regular starter for the Whites and now finds himself on the fringes of Farke 's squad . That does not mean that he is a bad player or that he would not score goals for Rangers , though , as the youngster may just need regular minutes to find his feet and gain some confidence in front of goal . Gelhardt 's record of five goals in five games for Wigan 's U18s and 20 goals in 31 games for Leeds United 's U21s suggests that the potential is there for the centre-forward to score goals on a regular basis , if he can find his rhythm at senior level . Clement could find his own version of former Celtic number nine Odsonne Edouard by unearthing the ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the season . In the 2021/22 Premier League campaign , Gelhardt was listed as one of the most similar players to the then-Crystal Palace attacker on FBref , based on their statistics that term . As you can see in the table above , both players offered a similar threat in front of goal per 90 , as scorers and creators , whilst they also showcased their ability to beat defenders with the ball at their feet to create something out of nothing , with their take-on successes . Edouard was , of course , an elite striker at Scottish Premiership level during his time on the other side of Glasgow , before his move to Crystal Palace . As you can see in the graphic above , the French marksman plundered 87 goals in 179 appearances for the club in all competitions and won the Golden Boot in the division on two occasions , with 60 goals in 104 Premiership outings . Rangers are looking for their clinical , reliable , goalscorer after Cyriel Dessers ( 16 ) finished eight goals behind Hearts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ top-flight last season , and has only managed four goals in 12 games this term . Gelhardt , based on his Premier League form under Bielsa , can provide similar qualities to Edouard in the number nine position in regards to his all-round play and threat in front of goal , with his academy record suggesting that the potential is there for him to be a reliable scorer . The Glasgow Rangers attacker has been a terrific addition to the squad this season . Posts That is why Clement and Rangers must push to bring him to Ibrox in January to see if they can unearth their own version of the former Celtic star by providing the Leeds outcast with regular minutes at first-team level . |

Manchester City 's squad has been ranked amid their terrible run of form , with them winless in six games . Erling Haaland , Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne are all considered to be must keeps right now . However , players like Kyle Walker and Ilkay Gundogan could make way in coming transfer windows . Six games without a win . Eight points off of the Premier League table . Pep Guardiola looking the most frustrated he 's ever been . There 's no question that Manchester City are currently enduring a crisis of sorts given their lofty standards in recent years . Those in sky blue have n't been performing at their typically high levels for weeks now , and many have hinted that it could be time for a rebuild . Jamie Carragher said recently that their midfield is cause for concern , with the engine room not performing without the talismanic Rodri . " What I 'm talking about with Gundogan and Kovacic , this is not players out of form , this is not going to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moving on . And Liverpool had to rebuild in midfield . That 's what Manchester City are going to have to do . Whatever Pep thinks of , there 's not enough legs in that midfield right now to change what we 're seeing as well . " But who are those who deserve to be a part of the squad right now ? And who should be on the chopping block when the transfer window opens in January and , indeed , in the summer . Factoring in how well players have been performing lately and their potential for future minutes , Man City 's squad has been sorted into one of five categories : Considering how absurdly talented players in this squad are , the fact that only nine individuals are considered must keeps is quite astounding . Nevertheless , City would be foolish to let any of these players go , given what they offer the team across the pitch . Despite being guilty of a wild moment at different points , Ederson remains one of the best goalkeepers in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dias are still two of the best in their respective positions too . Josko Gvardiol , despite recent calls to drop him , is still an excellent option either at left-back or centrally , so there 's no chance of him leaving the Etihad soon . If City 's recent run has proven anything , it 's that Rodri is indispensable to them . The Spaniard 's injury has coincided with their worst run in the Guardiola era , so he simply must be kept at all costs . And although Kevin De Bruyne is getting older , his ability to craft something out of nothing should see him rewarded with a contract extension beyond 2025 . GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic : Only seven players have made more appearances for Manchester City in the club 's history than Kevin De Bruyne ( 392 ) . Jeremy Doku and Phil Foden are both dangerous wide players who , when on form , can help break past the toughest of defences with a neat bit of footwork or a delicate pass . And as for Erling Haaland ... The goals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Squad While the players in this category are important to City , they are perhaps not as essential as those in the tier above them . Stefan Ortega , for example , is one of the better back-up goalkeepers in the league currently , and played an important role towards the end of last season when Ederson was injured . Nathan Ake and Manuel Akanji are also both good options to call upon when others are unavailable too . Rico Lewis , meanwhile , has endured a breakout year , going from talented young prodigy to one of the more regular starters in this City team . Capable of playing at full-back on either flank and also midfield , he is up there with the very best young players the Premier League currently possesses . Alejandro Garnacho , Malo Gusto , and Harvey Elliott are among the Premier League 's most talented youngsters . Posts A few months ago , Matheus Nunes might have found himself in a lower tier , with reports even suggesting that he could be sold unless he improves . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even if City themselves have not impressed as a whole . Considering he is a decent back-up for Rodri in midfield , he could yet be kept moving forward . Savinho , despite his relatively brief time as a City player , has already impressed enough and shown he can offer lots moving forward . And Bernardo Silva is arguably knocking at the ' Must Keep ' door . Some would certainly keep him at all costs , but he is perhaps not as integral to City as a De Bruyne or Foden . City 's academy is widely regarded as one of the best in English football , and this section will only likely grow as even more talented players come through the ranks . But , of the names listed in their senior squad , Oscar Bobb is the one most likely to develop into a talented option . The Norwegian has been a regular fixture in the senior team back in 2023 , with 27 appearances for the senior side since his debut and five goal contributions in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ likely to increase too , with Bobb putting pen to paper on a new five-year deal in February this year . A leg injury has cruelly limited his appearances so far , but expect him to be back in the squad once he 's fully fit again . Look , these lot are hardly players City should be forcing out the door . After all , they could probably do a decent job for a few other English teams . But if the club were to receive a suitable offer for them , then there could be every chance they would let them go . Joshua Wilson-Esbrand could well have found himself with Bobb in the tier above . But , after making his senior debut for the club back in October 2022 as part of City 's 5-0 thrashing of FC Copenhagen , just two other appearances for the first team have followed . James McAtee has also struggled to break into the senior team after shining in the academy , making just 14 appearances so far . City will ideally hope both @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ squad , but the signs are n't there right now , as evidenced by their limited minutes . Mateo Kovacic and Ilkay Gundogan both fall into very similar camps - talented players , but ones whose best days are behind them . If City are to revamp their engine room moving forward , you can imagine that this is the duo they would look to replace . And Jack Grealish , while a wonderful option , has struggled to really make his mark at the Etihad under Guardiola . The club might well be tempted to sell him with Savinho 's emergence , particularly considering Tottenham are known to be keen admirers of the England international . City might well sell many more of the two players here , but as things stand , these are the two who should probably be swapped out for new faces . Scott Carson , while a valuable presence off the pitch , has just turned 39 , and his position as third-choice goalkeeper could easily be passed to a promising academy player @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is much more controversial . One of England 's best players in the last decade and still a top Premier League right back , he 's been more error-prone of late and also seems to have lost a yard of pace which allowed him to recover in the event of a mistake . City fans have n't been best pleased with the ? 175,000-per-week defender in various games this season , most notably during their loss to Brighton , and considering that he will be turning 35 in May 2025 , it could well be time to say goodbye to the Sheffield-born defender when the summer transfer window opens . |

A Newcastle councillor awaiting a life-changing operation has urged more people to become eye donors . Stephen Barry-Stanners received the " incredible " news last week that he is finally set to receive his first cornea transplant in the new year , after years of struggling with deteriorating sight . The Lemington ward representative was diagnosed after a routine eye check-up more than a decade ago with keratoconus , a condition that causes the cornea to weaken and change shape . His eyesight has since deteriorated so severely that he tries to avoid going out in the dark , struggles when approaching steps , and must have his computer screen just a few inches from his face in order to read . The 34-year-old has been on the cornea transplant waiting list for around two-and-a-half years and was left in tears of joy after receiving a call from the Royal Victoria Infirmary 's eye department telling him that his first operation is scheduled for January . And , with the NHS ' bank of donated corneas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ encouraging more people to become donors and give the gift of sight . Donation involves only the corneas , the clear outer layer of tissue at the front of the eye which lets in light , rather than the whole eye . Coun Barry-Stanners told the Local Democracy Reporting Service that a successful cornea transplant " will change my life " and that eyesight is " something that I will never take for granted again " . He said : " It was incredible when he got the call from the RVI . They were very clear when they put me on the transplant list that there were delays and it could take a long time . It all depends on the amount of donors and their suitability for you . But when I got the call it was incredible . " I think there are a lot of myths and worries about it cornea donation . Long before I had any of this , I was the same . I remember telling my family that I would be happy to be an organ donor , but for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lot more people who opt out of donating the eye than any other organ . There is a stigma or something that puts people off , but it is so important and I do n't think people realise how life-changing it can be . You can donate even if you do n't have good eyesight , it has nothing to do with that . " The NHS Blood and Transplant service confirmed that current stock in its eye banks is just 218 corneas against a target of 300 . It said that most people are able to donate their corneas when they die , even cancer patients or those unable to donate other organs . A spokesperson added : " By donating corneas , you can enable a person to see their loved ones , care for themselves and others , restore their confidence and independence - enabling them to resume work , driving and other things that we may often take for granted . " Coun Barry-Stanners , who was elected earlier this year , described how when he first noticed a worsening problem with his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . But a trip to Specavers resulted in him being referred to the RVI and his condition has continued to deteriorate ever since . Though he wears contact lenses , he still struggles to see and had to give up driving .

Coun Barry-Stanners added : " I try to have someone with me wherever possible just so I can hold their arm . My husband is fantastic , I say he is like my seeing eye dog because he is always helping me . " It is particularly bad in the dark and the dark nights at the moment are horrendous . I just ca n't see anything . I have to try and avoid going out in the dark if I can , but obviously that is not always possible when it gets dark at 3pm or 4pm -- you still have to live your life .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'how to make good TV out of popping bubble wrap' involves the verb 'make' with 'good TV' as the object and 'out of popping bubble wrap' as a prepositional phrase, but it does not involve a causee or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

But I can reveal the upcoming HBO TV series , which will be made in the UK and under author JK Rowling 's watchful eye , is going to cast younger and less famous actors in the adult roles . The process is being overseen by casting directors Lucy Bevan and Emily Brockmann and will get under way once they have found the child actors who will play Harry , Ron and Hermione . Thousands of hopefuls aged nine to 11 sent in taped auditions and it 's believed that they are now having callbacks for the most promising . As revealed in this column earlier in the year , JK will have the final say on all the casting decisions . Actors such as Callum Turner , 34 , Bel Powley , 32 , Ncuti Gatwa , 32 , and Thomas Brodie Sangster , 34 , are the right vintage to be considered as Hogwarts teachers . At 66 , Oldman , Sirius Black in the films , could be the next Dumbledore . Asked about returning as Black , he said : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cast of people . Maybe in a few years , I could do Dumbledore . ' He may have competition from Kenneth Branagh -- Lucy Bevan has worked with Branagh a lot and , at 63 , he would be the perfect age for the role . He was Gilderoy Lockhart in the films -- but they were so long ago ( in TV years ) that it probably would n't matter .

Meanwhile , I hear talk of a more gothic ' Wednesday/Tim Burton vibe ' for the TV series . Wednesday , starring Jenna Ortega @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tim Burton , has been a huge hit for Netflix and they have now made series two . The Warner Bros films were aimed at eight to 12-year-olds but it 's thought the TV show will try to capture teens and young adults , too . Harry will still be an innocent but the production design and tone will be more grown-up -- and the action scarier . It is being written by Succession 's Francesca Gardiner and directed by Mark Mylod , whose CV includes Game Of Thrones . The plan is to make ten series at a cost of ? 160million at studios in Leavesden , Herts , for HBO 's streaming service , Max . Some Harry Potter fans insist they will boycott the series because of the views of Rowling , whom they consider to be transphobic . In a statement HBO addressed the issue , saying : ' We are proud to once again tell the story of Harry Potter -- the heartwarming books that speak to the power of friendship , resolve and acceptance . ' JK Rowling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will remain focused on the development of the new series , which will only benefit from her involvement .

At 23 , so-called Dancing Marquess Paget inherited 30,000 acres and an income equivalent to ? 15 million a year ... which he blew on jewels and theatrical tours , before dying bankrupt in 1905 at just 29 . Director Celyn Jones tells me he had the good fortune to hire direct relative Clara to appear in the movie which is produced by Mad As Birds . Jones said : ' Clara plays @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up , and she has quite a pivotal role in the film . She is the daughter of the current Marquess and just a lovely person ; fabulous in the film .

Rupert Everett is the Marquess 's devoted manservant . Jones said : ' Their relationship breaks your heart . I 've never seen Rupert in anything like this before .

A little over two weeks after leaving Old Trafford , Ruud van Nistelrooy is back in business . The Dutchman has been announced as the new Leicester manager , 18 days after completing an interim stint as Manchester United 's head coach and five days after the Foxes sacked Steve Cooper . Leicester fans and players have already seen plenty of Van Nistelrooy this season . Two of his four games in charge at Old Trafford were against the Foxes - a 5-2 Carabao Cup win and 3-0 victory in the Premier League . The 48-year-old led United between the departure of Erik ten Hag at the end of October and the arrival of new boss Ruben Amorim on 10 November . He had only rejoined United as an assistant coach in July on a two-year deal , but was n't given a backroom role under Amorim , and now resumes his fledgling managerial career at 16th-placed Leicester . They have swapped the experience of Cooper for a manager who has only led at senior level for one season at PSV . It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Nistelrooy say he is " driven " , " strong-willed " and " obsessed with perfection " . This video can not be played Media caption , The Football News Show : Do Leicester fans want a firefighter or a visionary as manager ? Ex-United coach Rene Meulensteen remembers a player " determined to succeed " who was " always looking for an edge " over opponents . Meulensteen was overseeing United 's reserves in 2005 when , after successful one-on-one work with the Red Devils ' Uruguay forward Diego Forlan , he was sought out by Van Nistelrooy . " I said to Ruud , ' Opponents will start to analyse you . You are very direct in your approach so sometimes in games you need to take that extra touch just to shift the angle of your finish ' , " Meulensteen told BBC Sport . " We worked quite a bit on that and , as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ add to his game and be a success . " This video can not be played Media caption , Managing Man Utd has been ' amazing ' - Van Nistelrooy Image source , Getty Images As a coach , Van Nistelrooy has retained his obsession with perfection . He became a coach in the PSV academy after retiring from playing in 2012 and was promoted to first-team manager in 2022 . Van Nistelrooy resigned in 2023 after winning the Dutch Cup and finishing second in the Eredivisie in his only season in charge - and he was not short of offers . But , instead , he took a year out to learn from other coaches around the world at clubs such as Spanish giants Real Madrid and Argentine powerhouses Boca Juniors and River Plate . " He 's not a proud man in that way , he 's not arrogant . He wanted to bounce his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , sports editor of Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf , told BBC Sport . " On his dream football trip , he went to all the big games . He spoke to Martin Demichelis , the River Plate manager , for hours about coaching . " He also went to experience the football culture . He told me he walked through La Boca in Buenos Aires and saw ' the eternity of Maradona ' painted on the walls in tribute to the Argentina legend . " His style of play was very realistic , not naive , " said Van der Kraan . " I wo n't say it was super attacking , but there was venom in the side . " To sum him up as a coach , he probably got more joy out of improving players than of winning trophies . " Ex-PSV youth star Xavi Simons , now on loan at RB Leipzig from Paris St-Germain , said Van Nistelrooy taught him everything . " Although Van Nistelrooy won two trophies and secured Champions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one game left . " There was a breakdown in the relationship between him and the assistants , " added Van der Kraan . " He stuck to his principles . " De Telegraaf claimed at the time that six players had reported their dissatisfaction with Van Nistelrooy to the PSV board . BBC Sport chief football news reporter Simon Stone : Van Nistelrooy could have been forgiven for regretting returning to Manchester United given how short his stint was back at Old Trafford . But it turned out to be an astute move . Had the former PSV Eindhoven boss not answered the call from fellow Dutchman Ten Hag , he could well have been plotting a promotion campaign at Burnley . Instead , he is taking the direct route back to the Premier League with Leicester . It is probably too simplistic to say Van Nistelrooy has got the job because of the two wins he managed against the Foxes while in interim charge , but it ca n't have done any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is clearly focused on game day - judging by the number of times he strays into the opposition technical area - and exudes a calm authority .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'lift it out of mourning' where 'mourning' is a noun, not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The Painter 's Daughters with a Cat by Thomas Gainsborough . ( Image : National Gallery / Wikimedia ) Gainsborough 's name is synonymous with Suffolk , but it was his daughters , one who suffered from mental illness and the other who cared for her , who grabbed Emily Howes ' imagination and inspired her to write a novel about them Visiting the National Gallery on a whim one day , Emily Howes had no idea that a special exhibition of 18th century paintings would affect her so deeply . ' It was a collection of portraits by Thomas Gainsborough of his family and friends , people he loved , ' she says . ' All around were these beautiful pictures of his children . But there was also a huge portrait of his two daughters as adults and the transformation caught my eye . They looked so stiff and frozen and so unhappy . ' Author Emily Howes . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ painting told their story in just three lines . ' It said that one of them had suffered from mental illness and the other had looked after her . I was so intrigued and moved that I immediately wanted to find out more about what had happened to them in the intervening time . ' Emily bought books about Gainsborough and his work by Susan Sloman and James Hamilton from the gallery shop and for the next four years immersed herself in the lives of the artist , his wife and his daughters , creating an acclaimed novel called The Painter 's Daughters . It tells of Peggy and Molly Gainsborough and how their carefree childhood in Suffolk is disrupted when the family moves to Bath for their father , Thomas , to earn his living painting portraits in fashionable society . As the girls grow up , Molly suffers increasing episodes of mental instability and Peggy instinctively seeks to protect her . A compelling and poignant story , the book explores family , love and sacrifice , the institution of marriage and the role of women @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and art , of course . A Sudbury street featuring Gainsborough 's house . ( Image : Getty ) ' I was constructing their personalities from the outside in , ' says Emily , who kept Gainsborough 's pictures above her desk as she wrote . ' That feels part of their experience as women , being decorative and increasingly trapped by the expectations placed upon them . ' Gainsborough 's paintings are so beautiful and have hidden messages in them , too , but I had n't really known that he was local . ' Emily was more familiar with Constable , she says . She went to school in Southwold , but the family home was in north Essex , and as a child she had enjoyed exploring the countryside immortalised through his landscapes and rowing at Dedham . Emily discovered Gainsborough through writing the novel . ' One of the things that struck me was how he did n't want to be painting faces . He wanted to be free , in the countryside , painting landscapes . But money was so tight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wealthy people at the top of society , he was never able to sustain a comfortable lifestyle . The artist we most associate with the extravagance of upper-class portraiture was really struggling himself . ' It 's an atmospheric , powerful and multi-faceted story , but it might never have been a novel . Emily 's background was in theatre . She graduated from Cambridge with a first in English and had toured nationally with the acclaimed comedy sketch troupe Footlights before working as a writer , director and performer in stage , television , radio and comedy . ' I trained in physical theatre , making stories out of nothing and creating atmosphere using the whole body , using all the senses , ' she says . ' It 's instrumental in how I write books , I think . I allow myself to imagine the colours , to hear the sounds and to feel what it would be like to be in Gainsborough 's studio - the squeak of a door , the slosh of water in a bucket , the smell of the paint . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Natural History Museum . ( Image : Getty ) She gave up theatre when it conflicted with the needs of her young family , and as a single mother decided on a completely new direction as a psychotherapist . ' I did n't want to take a job for financial security that I hated or did n't believe in . And I wanted to leave space for me to be creative too . Once I found existential psychotherapy , I knew this was for me . It 's so brilliant and satisfying and enjoyable as a career . ' It 's a place where philosophy meets therapy . Why are we here ? What is it to be alive ? What do we want from our lives ? Can we break free from things we do n't want in life ? These are the same kind of questions that I ask in my books . ' From rooms in central London , she runs her practice for two or three days a week , with the remaining time dedicated to her writing . And since completing The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ story of Charles Dickens ' wife . ' I love raising ghosts , ' she says of her fascination for historical fiction , which she has enjoyed from childhood . ' There 's this sense of being able to be transformed and transported to somewhere I would never normally find myself . Emily Howes spent years researching Gainsborough 's family . ( Image : Emily Howes ) ' But it also carries something of what I can see about my own life , what it 's like to be a woman now . There are certain periods of history that show us more about where we come from -- the huge amount of social programming , the pressures . ' Writing the book caused Emily to draw on her own family experience , too , she says . ' I was n't completely aware of it when I was writing , but in presenting the two girls dealing with this terrifying force they do n't understand , I was drawing on my own story . My grandmother was taken into a mental institution for postnatal depression and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by relatives , and it was really frightening for her as a child .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'make a handsome living out of gambling' involves the verb 'make' with 'a handsome living' as its object, and 'gambling' is a noun, not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no causee involved, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Older Scots will welcome the announcement that all pensioners will receive a payment next year to help pay their fuel bills . But many will be wondering why this situation arose in the first place . The Labour Government at Westminster has been honest about the state of the public finances . Savings had to be made . The Tories spent their last year in office making spending promises they could never meet . But the original plan to means test the Winter Fuel Payment was too harsh and excluded too many older people . A middle way was possible . The Scottish Government was due to take charge of the payment north of the Border . But that plan was delayed following the announcement by Chancellor Rachel Reeves this summer . It gave SNP ministers breathing space to come up with their own alternative . Scottish Labour , for their part , had already committed to bringing in a form of winter fuel payment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ neither of these pledges will help pensioners this winter unless they are already in the receipt of pension credit . The UK Government may argue that it was the increased funding it provided for Holyrood that allowed SNP ministers the room to make yesterday 's announcement . Regardless , the Scottish Government has now made an ironclad promise to bring in a form of winter fuel payment . It must now deliver on it , at a time of massive pressure on the public purse . Older Scots ca n't keep warm at night on hot air from political parties . Colin Brown 's battle with a gambling addiction will be familiar to many . Betting on the horses , football or a trip to the casino can be great fun .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'Take politics out of planning' does not involve a VP2[-ing] predicate, and there is no clear causer and causee relationship that induces either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it appears to be a directive or imperative statement without the grammatical properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Built environment professionals have led the calls for depoliticising the planning system during a roundtable hosted by SLR Consulting . By contributor Hannah McManus Published 9 hours ago Last updated 8 hours ago The event , held in Birmingham , saw attendees from disciplines across the sector , discuss reforms to the planning system , and the need for clear process and policy to ensure that sustainable development is at the forefront of every local authority . Attendees included representatives from the housebuilding , ecology , logistics and minerals sectors , as well as representation from the Home Builders Federation . This first in a planned series of quarterly discussions focused on the challenges and opportunities presented by the evolving planning landscape . SLR Consulting roundtable Elle Cass , head of strategic built environment growth and instigator of the roundtable said : " With development now a top priority following recent governmental changes , we wanted to bring together leading industry voices for a discussion that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' grey belt ' sites , and how these differ from the protected greenbelt . " While the consensus is largely positive , there remains significant work to be done , particularly in understanding deliverability challenges related to Biodiversity Net Gain , nutrient neutrality , and addressing the skills shortage in the labour market . " Sam Stafford , planning director at the Home Builders Federation added : " 1.5 million new homes within the parliamentary term is a bold and ambitious target , but the government is taking steps in not only reversing the 2023 NPPF changes , but making changes too to the standard method and the way greenbelt is looked at is bending national policy towards meeting it . " The challenge will be matching that ambition locally and then dealing with development management challenges such that the hoped for uptick in planning applications can be processed quickly and efficiently . " The landscape is challenging on many levels , however , the initial assessments that have to be carried out to assess a sites viability are still required . Environmental management , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Berryman , added : " Sustainable development requires early engagement with planning considerations , such as securing permits , conducting thorough assessments , and incorporating long-term masterplanning strategies . " Specific attention must be given to issues such as suspected land contamination , the risk posed by mineral sites , and the achievement of sustainability objectives . Earlier engagement must take place between developers and local authorities to optimise the speed of getting planning applications through to committee . " Though more will be revealed in the upcoming National Planning Policy Framework ( NPPF ) which is due to be released before the end of the year , Tamsin Almeida , senior planning manager at Hayfield Homes said : " More needs to be done to promote and deliver amenity-rich environments which genuinely cater for people 's needs - this includes offering a mix of houses and tenure types , supporting infrastructure , biodiverse rich environments that stimulate people 's well-being , and placemaking that puts legacy at the centre of developments for future generations to enjoy . " Richard Hickman , senior planning director at Indurent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the housing shortfall is essential under the newly elected government , we must remember the wider type of development that is needed to make local communities a success - this includes providing employment land , which in turn provides work opportunities - something that can easily be overlooked when headlines call for more housing , but not employment . " Elle Cass concluded : " We are being heard . More progress has been made now than in the past 14 years , however , these expected changes will need to see overhaul to the current structures and systems that have previously let people down , adding to a housing crisis and in turn not supporting development for all . Now is the time to remove politics from planning to get Britain building . " |

Battered and beaten after being interrogated for 17 days by brutal IRA enforcers , teenager Michael Kearney was handed a pint and told his ordeal was over . The following day he was found dead at the side of the road on the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic - he had been shot twice in the back of the head . 11 Seamus spent decades tracking down the man who killed his brotherCredit : Supplied 11 Freddie Scappaticci is believed to have been behind the order to kill MichaelCredit : Pacemaker Press 11 The hitman was actually a double agent for the British and so knew Michael was n't an informantCredit : Victor Patterson The 19-year-old - who was executed by the paramilitary 's infamous " nutting squad " in in July 1979 - is now though to have been the first victim of notorious executioner Freddie Scappaticci . From 1978 to 1994 , at the height of the troubles in Northern Ireland , the IRA killed over 40 alleged informers . But the man who often @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and women was in fact an informant himself- with the chilling codename Stakeknife - and said to be Britain 's most valuable spy . Directly linked to 18 murders , the cold-blooded killer once told a captive that if he had his way he would be hung upside down in a cowshed and no one would hear him squeal as he was skinned alive . " We also know on July 6 , it was Scappaticci who told the handler that Michael was court-martialled ... and at his court martial he has been found guilty but he has put in an appeal and it is unlikely that the appeal is going to succeed . That was his exact words . It is unlikely that the appeal is going to succeed . " It is believed that British Military intelligence and the RUC Special Branch were informed on three separate occasions that Michael was to be killed . 11 Michael ( centre ) was just 19-years-old when he was shot dead for betraying the IRACredit : RTE One 11 Scappaticci headed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : Pacemaker Born to an Italian family which came to Belfast in the 1940s and a bricklayer by trade , Scappaticci reportedly crossed over to help the British after being beaten up by the IRA following a row with a senior member . By the late 70s he was operating at the heart of the IRA , within its internal security unit - known as the " nutting squad " because the informers it uncovered were interrogated , tortured and then shot in the head , the " nut " . When Michael Kearney was murdered , his brother Seamus was in prison - himself a convicted IRA terrorist . He had joined the youth wing of the IRA when he was just a teenager , running road blocks for them as a 15-year-old . He joined the IRA as soon as he turned 18 , but Seamus says he never spoke to his younger brother about it . " When I was in the IRA I did n't discuss anything with him , " he explains . " He was more interested in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ old cars , fixing them and driving them around . " Death is nothing to us . It means nothing when you are in a war like that Seamus Kearney In 1977 Seamus was convicted of conspiring to murder a member of the security services as well as possessing firearms and ammunition . He was sentenced to 14 years in prison . He later joined the IRA blanket protests as a prisoner and by June 1979 he was two years into his sentence in the notorious H Block prison . Seamus says : " He did n't seem to be interested so that 's what I was surprised when someone told me he was in the IRA . I asked ( their other brother ) Sean about that and he says you are the reason why he joined . That was the only reason , the H Block thing , he was upset . So I felt guilty . I will always feel guilty . I will feel guilty for the rest of my life . " On June 20 1979 , Michael was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ arrested by the RUC . He was searched and found to be in possession of the keys of a commandeered vehicle . He was taken to Castlereagh police station and questioned for three days . The Troubles is one of the most violent periods in modern history in Ireland and the UKCredit : BBC When he was released from custody he followed the standard IRA procedure for someone in his position - they must meet with the officer in command of their unit and write a debrief report . In Michael 's debrief he wrote : " The only break from the interviews is when they went down for their meals and put me in my cell for my meals , which I refused to take . " During this day I was constantly humiliated , punched in the stomach , clipped across the balls and made to do physical exercises . At about 9.45am I broke and told them about the flat . They threw me back to the cell . " During his interrogation Michael had told police where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . His report goes on : " At about 12 O'Clock they came back and told me they had got the stuff from the flat . They then told me they were charging me with hijacking , membership and conspiracy to murder and kidnapping because forensics they said proved that I was in the car and I was caught with the keys in my possession . " At 12 O'clock they brought me up and said they were charging me with all these charges unless I gave them more information . I told them I wished to be charged and wanted out of Castlereagh . This is when they made a deal . They said if we let you go will you become an informer for us ? " Michael said he did n't know , maybe . He later said he just wanted the interrogation to end to get out of the station . But by simply leaving the police station without being charged with anything raised huge suspicions within the IRA . 11 The IRA used violent tactics as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ After meeting with his commanding officer and writing the report Michael was told he would have to meet with the newly formed internal security unit of the IRA . On 25 June , he was told to go to a roundabout where he was picked up by two cars - one containing Freddie Scappaticci . He was driven south of the border to a house where he was interrogated for 17 days . From the start of the troubles Scappaticci had been a low level member of the IRA but quickly worked up the ranks . He had been jailed on the day the controversial Government policy of internment without trial started in 1971 . When he was released in 1974 he became the commanding office of the Belfast brigade of the IRA , but was rearrested just a few months later , celebrated in the UK press as the jailing of a top-ranking terrorist . He was eventually released on the day the Government ended the policy of internment without trial in December 1975 . But after almost a decade of war the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ members of the IRA became a major tactic for both the RUC and the British Army . 11 Martin McGuinness was at the heart of the Irish peace talks from 1996Credit : AFP So in 1978 the terrorists formed an internal security unit to tackle the problem - to hunt down informers within its ranks , interrogate them , and deter others - the outing squad . By 1979 Scappaticci was second in command of the IRA internal security unit . But in his incredible knife-edge double life , Scappaticci had also become an experienced agent for British security forces and was allegedly detailing to his handlers exactly what was happening to Michael Kearney . On July 11 , after 17 days of torture , Michael was told he was leaving the interrogation house in Dundalk . Seamus says : " Michael is told he is going home and he is taken to the Imperial Hotel and a guy comes in and sees him he had a pint of Harp in front of him . He thinks he is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ death is the stigma of an informer or a traitor . Seamus Kearney This was the last sighting of Michael alive . Seamus thinks they got Michael drunk before they drove him down windy country roads towards the border and his final fate . Another car left the North to drive South - the car containing the shooter . Michael was found shot in the head . It was when Seamus was released from prison that his heartbroken mother begged him to find out what had happened to Michael . The Irish Republican Army has been in existance since 1919 which was formed to fight against the British in the Irish War of Independence . But this early section is now referred to as the Old IRA .

When he first started asking for answers in republican circles one name was mentioned - Freddie Scappaticci . Who he also learned was the double agent Stakeknife . He believes the security forces knew what was happening to his brother , where he had been taken and crucially that he was n't an informer . Scappaticci died at his home in Guildford , Surrey , last year . But Seamus believes if he could 've spoken to him he may have got to the truth .

" 11 Scappaticci 's double life was n't revealed until after The Troubles endedCredit : Rex Features Scappaticci was n't outed by the media as Stakeknife until 2003 . He denied it and fled Northern Ireland a year later when a recording surfaced of him talking to journalists about senior republicans , including Martin McGuinness .

Cover : Stakeknife is on BBC Sounds now By Leo McInstry THE Troubles in Northern Ireland were a dirty conflict , and no aspect of the brutal fighting was dirtier than the saga of Freddie Scappaticci . This courageous but cold-blooded ex-bricklayer , whose very nickname of Stakeknife exuded menace , was reputed to live an extraordinary double life as both the Provisional IRA 's head of internal security and a British agent . This involved agonising choices and lethal dilemmas . His position as the Republicans ' chief spycatcher made him invaluable to British intelligence . But protecting his cover meant the police and Army often had to turn a blind eye to his ruthless activities , even where innocent lives were lost .

But , ultimately , the ends justified the means @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Stakeknife , the IRA was destroyed from within . Trust among its members collapsed . By the early 1990s , eight in every ten operations in Belfast were being thwarted . As its capacity to wage war collapsed , the Republican movement was forced to the negotiating table . The peace process was effectively a long negotiation over the terms of surrender . Kieran Conway , a former head of IRA Intelligence , recalled that at this time " the attrition rate was appalling . It was clear we were losing the war , if we had not lost it already . " In his own savage way , Stakeknife helped to make the Good Friday Agreement possible . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'I' (NP subject) 'chicken' (V1) 'out of filming in public' (VP2[-ing] predicate). It also induces a prevention interpretation, as the subject is preventing themselves from filming in public. The verb 'chicken' can be categorized under means to achieve a goal by arousing fear or hesitation, fitting the semantic classification of verbs in the construction. The NP object is coreferential with the subject, which is an atypical but acceptable type of NP object in the construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'ageing out of being one of the cool kids of country music' does not involve a V1 verb acting on an NP object to cause a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a natural process of aging leading to a change in status, without an explicit causer or causee relationship.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes a situation where someone is 'ageing out of being one of the cool kids of country music', which does not involve a causer causing a causee to move or preventing them from an action. The phrase 'ageing out of' suggests a natural progression or change over time rather than an action induced by another entity, thus it does not meet the criteria for the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'takes all the hassle out of filling up your EV' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the removal of hassle from the activity of filling up an EV, which is not the same as the transitive out of -ing construction.

Can this device really end the worry of ditching petrol and is it worth all the hassle of getting it installed ? Smart EV charging makes refilling cheap Ohme app is simple to use Intelligently picks the best time for a boost Screen features useful information Expensive to install Ordering does need some time and patience Tethered wire does look a bit messy Whether you like it or not the battery powered EV car revolution is now well underway . The UK government is still hell-bent on banning the sale of new petrol vehicles from 2035 which means all of us will have to go electric at some point in the future . EVs continue to improve at a rapid rate with many new models now able to match their petrol siblings when it comes to range , along with boasting blisteringly quick performance , less maintenance and features such as preconditioning which gets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your winter morning 's drive . The Ohme Home Pro has a tethered connection ( Image : EXPRESS ) There are clearly big bonuses to switching to an EV but one of the biggest gripes for motorists continues to be how to refill that battery . Public charging points are still scarily scarce when compared to the endless supply of petrol stations that are dotted all over towns and cities and battery anxiety remains a big issue for many . Boosting the power pack away from home can also be ludicrously expensive ( around 79p/Kwh ) and can take way too long . Luckily , there is another option that makes filling the battery far more convenient and surprisingly cheap . Ohme is just one of a number of firms offering home charging solutions with the company promising its smart boosters can work out the best time to top up that tank and save you significant amounts of cash . So can this device really end the worry of ditching petrol and is it worth all the hassle of getting it installed ? Express.co.uk has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ here 's our full review . We have to kick things off by explaining the purchasing and installation process . Firstly , you need to decide which charger you want with Ohme selling two models including the smaller ePod and more advanced Home Pro solution . There are two distinct differences between these products with the Home Pro offering a touch display and fully tethered connection - a bit like what you find at refilling stations . The ePod is simply a small box on your wall that lets you plug in your car 's own portable cable each time you want to charge . Both of these gadgets are pretty pricey , with the purchase and installation costs starting from ? 949 . Using the Ohme Home Pro you can go from flat to full for less than ? 7 For our review , we had the ? 999 Ohme Home Pro fitted which is bigger but makes a quick charge far less hassle as it comes with that cable already attached so there 's no need to go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The in-built screen also offers some useful info such as how much charge has been put into the battery and when the refill is due to finish . The whole process of installation was fairly seamless , although you do have to spend some time filling in a form and sending pictures and videos of your home 's walls , access points , fuse box and where you want the box placed on the wall . Our Mercedes EQB getting a home refill ( Image : EXPRESS ) Ohme do message you throughout the process to make sure you are n't having issues which is a nice touch but you will need some patience and time to complete the purchase . Once the form has been approved you then confirm the installation date with numerous times and days to choose from . On the day of the fitting , our engineer arrived promptly with the Ohme box drilled into the walls and connected within a few hours . The main power supply was also only switched off for a few minutes to complete the energy connection @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are concerned about losing that all-important Wi-Fi . Once the power is flowing , it 's then just a simple process of downloading the Ohme app onto your phone and setting things up . When you log in for the first time , you 'll be asked some simple questions , such as what EV you own and what energy deal you are currently committed to . You can then start charging , and here 's where things get clever . The cable does n't retract and can look a bit messy ( Image : EXPRESS ) The Ohme Home Pro makes a refill very easy ( Image : EXPRESS ) Yes , you can plug in for an instant boost with the Ohme Pro refilling the battery at around 7.8kWh - during our tests , that speed meant getting around 10 percent an hour ( or 30 miles of range ) back into our test car - a new Mercedes EQB . It 's not exactly rapid but this device is designed for when you get home in the evening and leave things @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be very good for your finances . A number of energy firms , such as Octopus , offer much cheaper electricity during the early hours of the morning and , thanks to Ohme 's intelligent charging , you can top up the tank for as little as 7p/kWh . At that price , you could go from flat to full for less than ? 7 . The beauty of this system is that you simply tell the charger what days you want to charge and the percentage you need in the tank when you wake up and it works out the best and cheapest times to boost the battery . You then plug in and forget about the rest . The whole process is powered by a very simple app which also shows when the charging took place , how much energy was used and how much it cost . The app is easy to use and gives detailed data on price and charging ( Image : EXPRESS/OHME ) Our Mercedes EQB got around 30 miles of range after an hour of charging ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ used to verify each session which means passing EVs ca n't just pull up on your drive and start pinching power . You can even set times to precondition the car which means the windscreen gets defrosted and seats warmed up without it draining the actual battery . It 's all very clever but there are some things to note . Firstly , the Octopus Intelligent Go tariff is slightly more expensive for general daytime use than the firm 's standard plan so you will pay a bit more for energy used during the day . It 's not a massive difference - just a few pence per kWh - but it is worth noting . If the Ohme charger ca n't fill the tank with the required amount of power during the cheap times , it will refill for a short period at the standard rate which can make some refills more expensive than others . Of course , under ? 7 per tank is incredibly cheap when compared to over ? 50 to fill a car with fuel but you have to factor in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Our only other gripe is that the tethered cable is n't retractable and does n't wind up neatly like some other solutions on the market , so it looks slightly messy on your driveway . Ohme EV charger review ( Image : EXPRESS ) This is a very smart solution to a growing problem we are all soon going to have to face . Refilling at home is super simple and can be unbelievably cost-effective if you pick the right energy tariff . Top up the battery at the motorway services and you 'll pay over 70p/kWh but do it on your drive and things can cost as little as 7p/kWh or well under ? 8 to go from flat to full . The fact that the Ohme charger does all the heavy lifting means you do n't have to sit up until midnight to wait for the cheaper tariffs to kick in . Just plug in when you get home and wake up with a car that 's refilled and ready to go . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ charger fitted but considering a tank of fuel now costs over ? 50 it should n't take too long to make your money back . To get the cheapest charging , you will also have to switch to an EV energy tariff which can be slightly more expensive to use during the day . If you opt for the Home Pro , there 's also that handy but unsightly cable to be aware of . Despite the high cost of installation and a few changes you 'll need to make to your tariff and appearance of your drive the Ohme charger really is excellent . It 's super easy to use , takes all the hassle out of filling up your EV and will save you money while you are tucked up in bed . |

Holly Bancroft 30 November 2024 at 3:49 am*5-min read After five hours of intense and emotional debate on Friday , MPs voted in favour of a bill that would allow terminally ill adults who have six months or less to live to seek help to end their own life . The historic vote was heralded by assisted dying campaigners as " amazing news " , which would pave the way for people having choice over how they died . But campaigners against the bill vowed that their efforts to stop it becoming law were " not over " . While the bill was passed in the House of Commons , with 330 MPs in favour and 275 against , some only gave qualified support with the proviso that changes will be made before its third reading . With the bill now entering committee stage , MPs will get a chance to scrutinise the plans and propose any amendments . Labour MP Kim Leadbeater , who proposed the bill , has said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do " on the bill and that " slight changes " are part of the process . Kim Leadbeater joins supporters in Parliament Square in London after hearing the result of the vote in parliament for her Terminally Ill Adults ( End of Life ) Bill . ( PA Wire ) Under the bill , a terminally ill adult wanting assistance to end their life must have approval from two doctors and a High Court judge . So what are the issues parliamentarians may try to clarify before the bill returns to the Commons again ? There was some concern among MPs who opposed the bill on Friday that terminally ill patients could apply and be granted the right to end their life without their loved ones hearing about it . Under the bill , the doctor assessing the terminally ill patient for an assisted death " should , where they consider it appropriate , advise the person to consider telling their next of kin or other people they are close to " . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the application to the High Court , however judges can " hear from and question any other person " that they wish in order to determine that the applicant has not been coerced . Under the bill , there is no right to appeal a decision made in favour of granting an assisted death . Ms Leadbeater argued that by creating a formal process that enables assisted death , closed-door practices are now " brought into the open " . Supporters of assisted dying wept and hugged as the Bill passed its first vote ( PA Wire ) Once someone has got approval from two doctors to have an assisted death , they must then apply to the High Court for final approval . It is not yet clear from the bill whether the judge will make a decision based on the papers , forgoing a formal hearing , or whether a court hearing will take place . If a hearing takes place , it is unclear whether it will be in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ family court hearings are often held in private . If there is a hearing and it is in public , questions will also arise about whether the person applying for an assisted death should be granted anonymity - and if so , whether that anonymity should be lifted after their death . People take part in a demonstration at Old Palace Yard in Westminster , London , to oppose the Terminally Ill Adults ( End of Life ) Bill ( PA Wire ) The current bill allows for the applicant for an assisted death to use a proxy . This is to allow for cases where the patient is unable to sign their own name and wants to authorise someone else to apply for an assisted death on their behalf . The proxy can be either a " person who has known the person making the declaration personally for at least two years " or " a person who is of good standing in the community " . This person @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a beneficiary of their will . Ms Leadbeater said that her bill has a commencement period of up to two years , promising : " This is not going to happen overnight " . This timeframe can be altered and debated by MPs at the committee stage " as it is more important to get this right than to do it quickly " , she said . There is a specific clause in the bill that allows for doctors or other health professionals to opt out of assisting someone to die . Sir David Davis , who voted in favour of the bill on Friday , told MPs during the debate that his support was conditional on certain areas being " put right " in the committee stage . He raised a particular concern about a clause that suggests that doctors would be able to suggest assisted dying as an option for a terminally ill person . Under @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their judgement to " decide if , and when , it is appropriate to discuss the matter with a person " . The bill also allows for the applicant to seek the opinion of another doctor if they are refused an assisted death . If a second doctor refuses to affirm the patient 's right to an assisted death , then the first doctor - who granted approval - can refer the patient to another medical practitioner .

The club 's licence has now been suspended by Westminster City Council after a request by the Metropolitan Police . In its heyday , an upstairs room was apparently nicknamed the Peruvian Procurement Department , such was its reputation for the alleged availability of cocaine .

Just hours after Louise Haigh resigned as transport minister after admitting that she had a minor criminal offence relating to a mobile phone she wrongly said had been stolen , Starmer appointed Heidi Alexander , who served as the deputy mayor for transport in London between 2018 and 2021 . It was a swift replacement to try to draw a line under the resignation , yet another blow to the Labour leader , who has seen his Labour Party 's approval ratings plunge since it won a July election , over a raft of tax rises that have targeted businesses , farmers and pensioners . UK 's parliament voted in favour of a bill to legalise euthanasia for terminally ill people in England and Wales on Friday , passing the legislation to the next round of parliamentary scrutiny .

The sentence 'men are being priced out of having affairs' follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction with 'men' as the NP object and 'having affairs' as the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also induces a prevention interpretation, meaning that men are prevented from having affairs due to being priced out. The verb 'priced' fits into the category of verbs that achieve a goal by specific means (e.g., financial means). Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The verb 'gets' is transitive and selects an NP object 'a kick', but it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Additionally, the NP object 'a kick' does not function as a causee, and the sentence does not follow the required structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate.

I recently started working in the marketing department for a bank , and I 've been trying very hard to befriend my new colleagues . My team is small and already tight knit ( they 're all girls ) , so it 's been difficult to feel included . It 's almost like I 'm back in high school and trying to be friends with the popular girls . So I was delighted when one of the girls invited me to get lunch with her a few weeks ago . We hit it off and have been taking coffee breaks together every few days since . The only thing is , she is a huge gossip and loves to talk about what is going on in the personal lives of all our coworkers . She definitely gets a kick out of discussing other people 's drama . Gossiping is certainly not something I enjoy , but because I 'm still new to the company , and because this girl seems to be friends with everyone , I have continued to spend time with her for the sake of my social life . But I am trying to be careful about what I tell her , because I 'm sure it will not stay between the two of us . And this is all why I was utterly horrified when I accidentally sent her an extremely provocative picture last weekend . You see , I had been out with my outside-of-work friends and had a few too many drinks , and I thought it would be a good idea to send a spicy picture to the guy that I 'm currently seeing . I posed in my lingerie , snapped a selfie , and then texted it to him . Or so I thought . I assumed he was the most recent person I had texted , and so would be at the top of my chat history . But I had n't noticed that my new coworker girlfriend had texted me about some gossip just moments before . I accidentally sent the nude to her ! Obviously , I was mortified , and immediately texted again begging her not to tell anyone or share the picture . She responded quickly saying I had nothing to worry about and that my secret was safe with her . I went to work on Monday hoping it would be forgotten . But I could n't help noticing that others on my team were paying more attention to me , and even looking at me differently . I texted her after work on Monday to make sure she had n't said anything , and she assured me she had not . But then on Tuesday , I got the same strange vibes from my colleagues . Perhaps I 'm being paranoid , but I get the sense that she 's told people about the picture I sent her , and maybe even showed it to them . It feels like they are judging me . Should I confront her again , or maybe even ask others if there 's something I should know ? I do n't want this to ruin my reputation at work when I 'm so new to the job -- and nor do I want it spoil any chances of making friends with my coworkers . But I also really need to know what 's happened . From , Naked & Afraid Dear Naked & Afraid , Before we address the sexy photographs , we need to talk about your gossipy co-worker . I guarantee that the reason everyone seems to like her is not because of any great qualities , rather it 's because they 're terrified of her . The truth is , gossips can never be trusted . With anything . They delight in stirring the pot , in spreading news and creating drama . When someone revels in talking negatively and so openly about others , the only thing you can know for certain is that it will be your turn soon . For me , gossips are an absolute deal breaker in friendships . I once had a very close friend who loved gossiping . She would come over and talk horribly about everyone we knew . Like you , I felt so uncomfortable I tended to just listen , telling myself that if I did n't contribute , it would be okay . Except it was n't . I felt dirty every time I saw her and , sure enough , it was only a matter of time before I heard she was spreading rumors about me . I ended that friendship and have n't had a moment of regret since . Choose your friends wisely . It 's all too easy to fall quickly into new friendships when you start a new job or move to a new country . But it is always wise to take things slowly , to allow people to reveal themselves fully before you decide to let them in . While you may not be able to easily end this new friendship with your colleague , I would strongly advise keeping her at arm 's length . You can continue to be friendly , but stop spending every break with her . Think of it as relegating her to the rank of acquaintance rather than friend . As to the lingerie picture , there is indeed a strong chance that she has shared it . But remember : if you felt good enough about the picture to text it to someone in the first place , you need feel no shame . In fact , I would try and see the funny side . When you 're next in an informal setting with your new colleagues , trying bringing up mortifying stories and tell them how you accidentally texted a sexy picture to a co-worker . Bringing it to light will make the issue disappear , for shame can only survive in darkness . My last piece of advice for you is a general one about sending saucy pictures via text . Just do n't . Texting anyone compromising images is always a terrible idea . Dear Jane , I am part of a very close group of six guy friends , we 've known each other since middle school , and have all moved back to the same city after graduating from college two years ago . We all work during the day but spend most nights together playing video games , watching movies , going to bars to watch sports , or just chilling out and ordering food . We 've all dated a little bit here and there , and had short-term situations with girls , but none of us have ever been in a serious relationship . A new girl started working at my company about six months ago and we hit it off immediately and started going on dates . My guy friends did n't care too much when it was just once or twice a week , but since becoming official she and I have started spending much more time together . I could tell that my friends were annoyed I was n't hanging out with them as much , so I decided to introduce them to my girlfriend and suggested that we all do stuff together . But when we all went to the bar to watch a football game and they were so cold towards her , basically ignoring her the whole time and acting like they were too engaged in the game to chat . I asked what they thought of her after the game and they were all incredibly unenthusiastic . They did n't say anything bad , but I could tell they did n't love her , and they still do n't . The tricky thing is , I do love her , and I want to spend time with her . This does n't mean I want to spend less time with the guys , it would just make my life a lot easier if we could all be friends together . The older you get , the more important it is to choose friendships wisely . Even if someone may feel like the friend you have always been waiting for , let them reveal themselves fully , and let them know what your non-negotiables are . Gossip , disloyalty and insecurity never make for reliable friendships . Advertisement After how rude they were to her , it 's not surprising that my girlfriend is n't that fond of them either . Now it feels like they all hate each other , and I am stuck in the middle ! What do I do ? From , Down Bad Dear Down Bad , Would n't it be a wonderful world if all our friends loved our partners , and our partners loved all our friends . It 's too easy to carry a romantic vision of a happy ever after that is filled with mutual adoration between everyone in our lives . Unfortunately , as you are discovering , this simply is n't realistic in most cases . When I was married , I liked many of my husband 's friends , even though they were n't people I would necessarily have chosen as friends myself . There were times when we would socialize all together , but I was equally thrilled -- and often happier -- for my husband to go off and see his pals without me . Relationships are always about compromise . A new partner inevitably brings a different dynamic to your existing friendships . If there is n't a strong foundational bond , it may be that you end up seeing your old friends less -- but it also does n't have to be a binary choice . In your case , it may be that you 're now at a point in your life where you 're beginning to mature and settle into the next phase . Whilst playing video games and hitting sports bars every night is fun in your twenties , it is ( hopefully ) a phase , and one that should come to an end as you forge more meaningful relationships . Nobody has to be put in the middle here . There should be room in your life for both your partner and your male friends , even if you 're now not spending as much time with the boys as they would like .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It lacks an NP object and does not exhibit either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'step out of' in a different context, not involving causation or prevention.

Instead, it uses 'opt to step out of providing services', which does not involve a transitive verb with an NP object and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee and does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it involves the verb 'making' with an NP object 'a tonne of money' and the phrase 'out of making food well' does not introduce a VP[-ing] predicate with a causee.

Gail 's Bakery seems to have a knack for dividing opinion -- and that even extends to Gail Mejia and the coffee served by the chain she co-founded . Mejia , who has largely shunned the limelight since selling out more than a decade ago , labelled the Gail 's coffee as " shit " after being tracked down in Portugal last week by news website Air Mail . But fellow founder Tom Molnar , still in charge as chief executive , refuses to be riled . " She always tells me : ' You have n't f**ked it up ' , " he said . " And I know she does n't like our coffee . She likes a chalky , Turkish-type coffee . A really dirty coffee . We do n't do that , we have a much smoother blend . " Tom Molnar , co-founder of Gail 's bakery RACHEL ADAMS FOR TIMES MEDIA Gail 's may well be divisive ( Mejia also hailed it " insanely successful " ) , but few can deny that it has taken the UK by storm . Now operating across 152 branches , the chain has shrugged off the cost of living crisis with a glut of openings . Even during last week 's cold snap , customers were queuing out the door to stock up on Christmas staples such as boxes of six mince pies for ? 16 ; or a ? 35 Pistachio & Lemon panettone . Last week it emerged that Wall Street investment bank Goldman Sachs had been brought in to sell the business for a reported ? 500 million . So what 's behind Gail 's success ? And could it really be worth that much ? Gail 's in Northcote Road , south London ALAMY Gail 's opened its first bakery in 2005 on Hampstead High Street , northwest London . The retail operation was an offshoot of The Bread Factory , a wholesaler that exists to this day , having been set up in the early 1990s to supply the likes of Gordon Ramsay 's restaurants and other high-end eateries in the capital . Gail 's did not , however , opt for the rapid growth undertaken by coffee-dependent counterparts such as Costa , Caff ? Nero and Starbucks in the years that followed . The Gail 's phenomenon only really began taking off as Britain emerged from the pandemic . Mejia was bought out of the business by former Patisserie Valerie chairman Luke Johnson in 2011 . Johnson remains as chairman to this day , though he ceded control of a majority stake in the business to American private equity fund Bain Capital in 2021 . Molnar , a former consultant at McKinsey , was quick to identify that the public were flush with savings because of the lockdowns . Meanwhile , the importance of food provenance was shooting up the public agenda . Supermarkets serving the middle class , such as Waitrose and Marks & Spencer , had spotted this with their upmarket ranges , but bakeries and coffee shops had not . For Gail 's , the post-Covid world was ripe for the picking . All Gail 's bread is made daily in one of five mass bakeries in Hendon in northwest London , Milton Keynes , St Albans , Manchester , and Bath . Delivery vans typically turn up at the caf ? s between 4am and 6am . If they arrive before the staff , they have a key for their locations and drop off the loaves . Each store , with the exception of London 's South Kensington branch , has one or two prover cabinets for dough to rise in and one or two ovens . Dough for the pastries is delivered fresh , then left to prove . A croissant , for example , takes two hours 20 minutes and is then baked . " We do n't have freezers . We are all fresh , " explained Molnar . He said other bakery chains use frozen pastry that is heated up on site : " They 're amazing for the first five minutes , but they 're usually full of chemicals to hold them , and they go bad very fast . " One veteran hospitality executive said : " Gail 's has been bang on the zeitgeist post-pandemic . It has proved hugely popular with well-off , middle-class customers in the London suburbs . " Kien Tan , senior retail adviser at PwC , added : " It has been fortunate to be in the right place at the right time . But its success is far from just about luck . They have spotted a gap in the market that the likes of Waitrose and M&S have filled in recent years for higher quality bread , quiches and cakes . " Yes , they have benefited from vacant shops on the high street , but the secret has been about a disciplined roll-out by opening in wealthier locations with a concept that resonates with people that have a bit more money in their pocket . " Molnar said the crisis in Britain 's town centres has been beneficial for his business . " There are lots of empty sites on the high street . You get really attractive deals from landlords . That 's been really fundamental to us . He added that the vacant properties are " mostly banks " . " The first day we opened in Cobham Surrey , I sat down having a coffee next to this older gentleman . He said : ' You know what this place was before it was a bank ? It was a bakery ' . So it was a bakery built to be a bakery . Then it became a bank . And now it 's back to being a bakery again , " he said . Britain is well known for being willing to tolerate success ; but not too much success . And so a backlash towards Gail 's has erupted in some pockets of the country . Residents in Walthamstow , northeast London , launched a petition to block Gail 's from the high street earlier this year amid claims that it posed " a risk of overshadowing our much-loved local stores " . Meanwhile , Gail 's was falsely accused of being Israeli-owned due to the link to Mejia , who was born in London to Israeli parents and grew up in Tel Aviv . Mejia called the antisemitic abuse the chain has experienced as " mental " last week . Yet these bumps in the road show no signs of forcing the artisan-baking juggernaut off course . Nevertheless , ? 500 million is a hefty price for a bakery chain facing cost increases and tax rises . When Bain bought into the business in September 2021 , Gail 's was valued at ? 200 million . Gail 's story has been one of breakneck growth ALAMY One investment banker specialising in restaurants said of the mooted price tag : " I 'll be stunned if they can do that before the changes to employer national insurance contributions and rises in minimum wages kick in in April . " An executive at a rival added : " Show me how you get to that number ? I just do n't get it . " The veteran hospitality boss said : " It would n't be my time to sell . But then it is a good business with plenty of growth potential . " Businesses are often valued as a multiple of earnings . Generating ? 32 million in the year to February 2023 , Gail 's latest filed accounts , a ? 500 million valuation would be equivalent to more than 15 years of adjusted profits . For context , the board of Loungers , the London listed restaurant business , last week accepted a ? 300 million takeover equivalent to nine years of earnings . The Restaurant Group , the company behind casual dining market leader Wagamamas , was sold for nine years of earnings last year . The owner of Franco Manca and The Real Greek was sold at a similar time for an eight times multiple . Of course , Gail 's will be sold not on its past performance but its returns in the future . Given its recent breakneck growth , selling the business for half a billion pounds may not be entirely out of reach . " The question is now whether the company can now continue to expand or whether we have hit ' peak Gail 's ' , " explained Tan . " They have already enjoyed success by flexing their business model by opening in places like Bristol and Manchester ; time will tell whether this continues . " Molnar refused to be drawn on the sale process . The plan is to open another 30-40 bakeries in 2025 , which will require him to hire an extra 1,000 staff . He is targeting ? 300 million in sales next year . He struggles to hide his disappointment at Rachel Reeves 's budget , however . Increases in employer national insurance contributions , the minimum wage and a reduction in business rates relief will cost Gail 's an extra ? 1.5 million to ? 2 million , he estimated . Prices will have to go up as a result , Molnar said , although he is doing everything he can to limit this . How price-sensitive Gail 's customers are to a pot of glorified Nutella rising from ? 10 , to say , ? 11 remains to be seen . " Nobody is making a tonne of money out of making food well , " Molnar insisted . |

The controversial plan to charge for car parking at a Sutton Coldfield beauty spot has sparked anger among residents - as the amount that would be charged was revealed . Royal Sutton Coldfield Town Council met on Tuesday ( November 26 ) - a day ahead of a packed public meeting at Sutton Coldfield Town Hall where there was almost universal opposition to plans to charge motorists to park in Sutton Park . The public meeting saw more than 120 residents attend , with just one backing the charges . Town and city councillors also attended and said the costs of the work and details of how it will be done have yet to be shared by Birmingham City Council . An ' informal ' consultation was launched by the city council in mid-November asking the public how much they would be willing to pay for parking in Sutton Park , along with Lickey Hills Country Park on the Worcestershire border and at Sheldon Country Park near Birmingham Airport . The plan is to charge from 9am to 6pm ' 365 days a year ' -- so even on Christmas Day . At Wednesday 's public meeting councillors revealed the plan is to charge ? 2.20 for two hours , ? 3 for four hours , ? 5 for all-day parking or ? 104 for a ' season ticket ' , as revealed in a cabinet meeting document and confirmed in a stakeholder meeting earlier this week . An earlier cabinet report is also said it would cost ? 1.1 million to put the meters in . The plan is to charge for 17 car park areas in the park , around half the 34 areas that drivers currently park in . That was raised as a concern , with residents suggesting motorists will park in between trees and on grass , or on surrounding roads , in a bid to avoid the fees . The expectation is for a more formal four-week consultation to take place after this one , irrespective of the opposition outlined so far . The city council has already indicated that the many potholes on roads and within car parks are not likely to be repaired before any charges are introduced . More details have emerged on plans to charge motorists to park in Sutton Park - with Cllr David Pears saying they will cause ' total misery ' Cllr David Pears ( Sutton Trinity , Cons , ) who chairs the Sutton Park Advisory Committee and has part of the park at Town Gate in his ward speaking after the meeting said : " We had 121 people turn up to the meeting . The room was full . " I spoke about the history and the information I was aware . Cllr Maureen Cornish ( Four Oaks , Cons. ) spoke about a stakeholder meeting and town council leader , Cllr Simon Ward ( Four Oaks , Cons. ) outlined the town council 's view where all the Conservative councillors voted to write to the city council objecting to the plan , with all three Labour councillors present voting against . " Overwhelmingly the meeting was against the charges in the park . One person was for it . They did n't believe cars should be in the park . But people have said if they have to pay car parking on top , they wo n't go and have a coffee . Which will affect the businesses in the park . " Cllr Pears has launched a petition against the parking charge plans . While residents can also air their views at the council 's ' informal ' online consultation . Cllr Pears continued : " People were disappointed with what was happening . That Birmingham city council was n't being as open as it could be . One of the biggest problems is there had n't been any financial information being shared . " Putting metres in 17 parking areas in the park , how much will it cost . How will electricity be provided for the machines ? How will people be able to pay by app -- will there be WiFi provided ? It was a good meeting . We answered all the questions we could . We are not sure what 's going to happen following this consultation . " Actually I think they should stop wasting taxpayers money . This consultation is a waste of money . They will have to consult again if they are putting traffic regulation orders in the park . More costs to come for something people do n't want . " Sutton Park in Sutton Coldfield ( Image : Nick Horner/BirminghamLive ) Fellow town and city councillor , Cllr Richard Parkin ( Sutton Reddicap , Cons. ) said : " I think it 's fair to say it 's clear the plans have not been thought through properly and the council will have to borrow a significant amount of money to install Pay and Display machines and put yellow lines on surrounding roads to the park . " Birmingham City Council also wo n't commit to pothole repairs until all their borrowing costs have been paid back which could be at least three years , but do n't hold your breath . " There is a real question mark hanging over whether this project actually makes any financial sense as the city council has not ascertained all the costs or carried out in-depth financial modelling . " At the town council meeting held earlier in the week councillors said the plans to charge to park in Sutton Park had ' really angered residents ' . And that any money raised would be used to fill the city council 's ' blackhole ' rather than being reinvested in the park . Cllr Janet Cairns ( Sutton Vesey , Cons. ) spoke of the impact on surrounding roads . She said : " I have seen what happens when people do n't want to pay . They park all the way on Monmouth Drive . " It 's just creating another health and safety issue . People will park in other places in the park . " Cllr Keith Ward an officer spoke to him when he was with Sutton Coldfield Business Improvement District and said the city council was not making a profit but a loss on car parks they already have with all the infrastructure in place . The idea of creating new car parks in a green space out of nothing is a money-making scheme , " he said .

Cllr Rob Pocock ( Sutton Vesey , Lab. ) , part of Birmingham City Council 's ruling cabinet said : " The town council has its own option here . It would be great if this town council gave its own consideration to what it can do " He referenced a former incarnation of Sutton Town Council funding a parking scheme for residents in the park . Council leader , Cllr Simon Ward , said : " I ca n't underestimate how unhappy people are about this . They feel they are being taken advantage of . " What 's Sutton Coldfield famous for ? Its park . It should n't just be for people of Sutton Coldfield . During Covid that park was invaluable . It was a lifeline . Would people go there if they were forced to pay a parking charge , I 'm not sure they would . " It will not work financially , but that 's not the point . It 's wrong . " The council resolved to write to Birmingham City Council opposing car parking charges . Story Saved You can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right . |

Frank Lampard gave his seal of approval to Coventry City 's now firmly established pre-match anthem that helped the new head coach feel right at home at the CBS Arena . The 46-year-old was given a warm welcome by over 25,000 home fans for his first match in charge of the Sky Blues , thoroughly enjoying the atmosphere whipped up by them singing along to ' We 'll Live And Die In These Towns ' by local band , The Enemy just before kick-off . " I was really pleased and really thankful for that from the fans , " said Lampard , whose only regret was that his team could n't give them a win , having to settle for an opening day 2-2 draw . " I understand the legacy of the last manager and I am not here to fight that . I am here to say , fantastic , and try to do my job . So thanks very much to the fans before the game which was very rousing , the way they sing before the kick-off was amazing . I loved it , was a great experience , that . " During the game and afterwards for the players and myself , it was not easy . We want more than draw but they were supportive and that relationship is all about us now . It 's about what momentum we can build and how we can make this place for home games , and that 's why I am disappointed with the bits where I felt we were short , winning the second ball which feels like an old school comment but it reacts the crowd ; it engages them , you know , and if we 're playing for a club and a city and this kind of fan base , the first thing they relate to is that kind of action and fight . It 's not that the players are short of it in intentions , it 's just more like ' are we going to make sure that 's what we become as a football team . ' " But yeah , the fans were great , so thanks for that . " Asked if he deliberately had a low key response to the stadium announcer 's build-up and introduction to the fans -- Lampard just waving in acknowledgment before taking to his seat in the dugout , he said : " Yeah , I 'm a low key person , do you know what I mean ? I 'm here as a head coach , I 'm not here as a celebrity . " I have coached other teams in the Championship and Champions League and things but my enjoyment comes out of trying to make this team better . And I actually shy away from those moments even though people might not think that . I appreciated the reception but I did n't want to make it about me . It 's not my moment , it was the start of 90 minutes . " After the final whistle , however , he went round all corners of ground applauding the supporters . " Yes , because I appreciate the fans and I am here to work hard and do well for the club , " he said . " I have to say that in all my clubs I have worked at I have had good a relationship with the fans and hopefully they can see that I work , and I respect that they come and watch and support us . I 'll be honest and if I felt they ( the players ) were a bit short today I will say it , and if I feel we are going in the right direction I 'll say it . But just very thankful because I understand the situation and my job is just to work hard and make them enjoy watching their team .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'was worn out of having spent one month and 10 days in Tapachula' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a state of being tired due to an activity, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

A group of migrants have formed a caravan in southern Mexico in hopes of reaching the northern border region with the United States . As many as 1,500 migrants , most of them from Colombia , Cuba , Guatemala , Haiti , Honduras and Venezuela marched Sunday out of Tapachula , a city in the southern state of Chiapas near the border with Guatemala . Women could be seen pushing their children in strollers as several elderly people kept pace with a group that began their journey at night to avoid the daytime heat in the area . Sheinbaum , who in October became the nation 's first woman president , took to social media to clear Trump 's statement and indicated that Mexico was committed to ' not to close borders but to build bridges between governments and people . ' Mexican authorities broke up two smaller caravans that formed in November following Trump 's election victory . A caravan of 1,500 migrants were seen walking Monday road in Tapachula , Mexico in an attempt to reach the northern border region with the United States At least 1.500 migrants , most from Colombia , Cuba , Guatemala , Haiti , Honduras and Venezuela , formed a caravan in the southern Mexican city of Tapachula , the third since Donald Trump won the election Some of the migrants were hoping to just be able to reach the northern industrial Mexican cities , where they would consider the possibility of staying and working . Others remain optimistic about the chances of being able to cross the southern United States border so they could ' achieve a better life for their families , ' according to Santos Modesto , who abandoned his home in Honduras . ' But I think a lot of people here , if there were opportunities in Monterrey and surrounding areas , they would stay there because there are a lot of Cubans and Venezuelans who would rather stay here than return to their country , ' Modesto said . Miguel ? ngel told EFE left behind his family in Ecuador and decided to join the caravan after he noticed that more migrants were arriving in Tapachula , where he feared for his well-being and work is scare . He added that the National Institute of Migration made matters worse because migrants did not trust the agency . ' I 'm going to be honest , there is no one to trust , we have witnessed when immigration agents say they will help us , ' Miguel ? ngel , ' but it 's a lie and they detain us for three days and do n't help us with documents or anything , that 's why we do n't trust anyone , we only go with the help of God . Migrants gathered Sunday night in Tapachula , a city in the southern Mexico state of Chiapas across from Guatemala , before they began to march towards the northern border region across from the United States Donald Trump has vowed to impose a 25 percent tariff on Mexican products if its government does not the flow of migrants to the United States southern border Eliser , a migrant from El Salvador , was worn out of having spent one month and 10 days in Tapachula and thought that time could have been better spent traveling the 621 miles it takes to reach Mexico City . ' People are tired of being in Tapachula , ' Elieser told EFE . ' There is no work , no accommodation , no money , and people have been waiting for four to five months and ca n't find anything in this city . ' ' There are a lot of reports that he has said he is going to do away with CBP One , that there are going to be deportations , the biggest deportation , but you have to have faith in God , ' said Venezuelan migrant Francisco Unda , 38 . Apart from the much larger first caravans in 2018 and 2019 - which were provided buses to ride part of the way north - no caravan has ever reached the U.S. border walking or hitchhiking in any cohesive way , though some individual members have made it . For years , migrant caravans have often been blocked , harassed or prevented from hitching rides by Mexican police and immigration agents . They have also frequently been rounded up or returned to areas near the Guatemalan border . |

When you purchase through links on our site , we may earn an affiliate commission . Here 's how it works . Cyber Monday kitchen appliance deals ( Image credit : Future / Amazon ) The kitchen is the heart of the home , but it can quickly become the hole in your wallet , too , which is why I always appreciate a good Cyber Monday kitchen deal . Starting with Black Friday , many of the best kitchen appliances see huge discounts in the post-Thanksgiving sales , from air fryers to coffee makers , baking appliances and beyond . This year is no different , with the Cyber Monday deals bringing the heat . There are a huge range of deals from popular brands , whether that 's Kenwood 's stand mixers , Ninja 's air fryers , Keurig 's coffee makers or Instant Pot 's multicookers . You can make some serious savings too , with up to 50% off some of these excellent , top-rated kitchen appliances . Below , I 've listed the absolute best-of-the-best deals I 've found this Black Friday weekend which are still live for Cyber Monday , but if you have specific requests you can drop me an e-mail and I 'll give a live response in the form of a blog post . Deals picked by Deals picked by Josephine Watson Managing Editor , Lifestyle In my three years as a technology journalist , I 've spent hours testing home appliances and covered every major sales event during that time . In practice , that means I 've spent hours scouring for the best small appliance and smart home deals , and I know a good one when I see one . Now , this is a smoking deal . I adore my Ninja Woodfire , and used it most weekends during the summer . We gave the original Ninja Woodfire five stars thanks to its ability to create an authentically smoky taste with no charcoal and no mess , plus it doubles as an air fryer too . Just plug it in , and you 're ready to cook anywhere . It suffices to say , I 'm a big Ninja Double stack fan . I gave the Ninja Double Stack a full five stars in our review and we awarded it a TechRadar Choice Award for its innovative design that lets you cook two portions while taking up minimal counter space . It 's the model I personally use at home , and I 'm always impressed by its minimal heat leakage between the two tiers ; and it 's back down to its lowest ever price at Amazon for Cyber Monday . This deal is now back in stock after vanishing last week . This large-capacity air fryer certainly stands out from its competition in design , but Typhur says it 's more than just an aesthetic choice ; its rounder , flatter tray cooks food even quicker than traditional air fryers , according to the brand . It 's quiet , operating at 55dB , and even features a self-cleaning functiothat n removes oil and stains form the top cavity in 2 hours . Like many Instant air fryers , this model has dropped back down to its lowest price this year for Cyber Monday . When we reviewed it , we valued its versatile cooking basket which can be divided when preparing two different dishes or used for one large item ( like a chicken ) . It 's refreshingly easy to use , and good choice for families , at a great price for Black Friday . Record low : Philips has been in the air fryer business for a long time ( long before it was cool ) , and its appliances are seriously well designed . This one has two different sized drawers so you can easily cook a main and a side simultaneously , and it 's never been cheaper at Amazon . Want two ovens in one countertop package ? The Ninja Double Stack XL Countertop Oven & Air Fryer with Pro Cook System is an excellent alternative to a conventional oven , giving you the best of both worlds . Look no further than this Gourmia toaster oven if you want the ultimate bargain this Black Friday . Right now , it 's on sale for just $50 . With its unique french doors , it 's pretty stylish for a countertop cooker , and includes 18 one-touch cooking functions that allow you to air fry , bake , dehydrate , and more . This is one seriously smart toaster oven/air fryer combo we scored four stars out of five in our review , owing to its smart algorithm that directs heat to where it 's needed to cook your food perfectly . Plus , it 's a jack of all trades , making for a competent air fryer too , which is something you ca n't always say for multi-functional appliances . Breville has beaten Amazon 's deal price by $20 . While it 's not quite the lowest-ever price ( that was $49.99 ) , the Keurig K-Express is an excellent single-serve coffee maker for smaller house sizes . Featuring three cup sizes , a decent 42-oz water reservoir , and enough space to accommodate a 7.4-inch tall travel mug , this is a great deal on a solid device . This premium bean-to-cup espresso machine is down to a record-low price , with a generous $380 discount available this Cyber Monday . It was awarded a commendable four-and-a-half stars out of five when it was reviewed earlier this year , with this high score coming from how satisfyingly easy it is to use . It 's a simple case of picking your favorite drink from the color screen , and the machine whizzes into action handling the dosage , grinding , extraction , and even the milk frothing , so that all of the hard work is done for you . Presets can be made for any customizations you choose to make , and there are settings dedicated to foaming plant-based milk too , with almond milk frothing particularly nicely . This coffee machine gave us a buzz when it launched earlier this year , and we 've seen it discounted for the very first time this Cyber Monday . It offers gentle guidance to help achieve the best results , and we 're really pleased with this impressive $200 discount , which we do n't often see on new machines . So if you 've had your eye on this De'Longhi like we have , this is the deal to take advantage of this Cyber Monday . I 'm very excited that there 's a third off this barista-style espresso machine that 's designed to be more compact than average , while still being delightfully premium . When our reviewer Cesci Angell reviewed it she fell head over heels , saying " I 'm not exaggerating when I say that I love this " , and scored it full marks in her review . This is a fantastic Cyber Monday deal to take advantage of , but do n't fret if it sells out , as this offer is also available at Best Buy for just 95 cents extra . This attractive semi-automatic espresso machine has a whole $300 off this Cyber Monday , and we ca n't recommend it enough considering we scored it a full five stars in our review . The color touchscreen makes it simple to pick your favorite drink , before guiding you through the process , providing feedback as you go . If you 'd rather purchase from Best Buy then you 're in luck , as it 's the same price there too . This Cyber Monday deal has perked us up , with Amazon offering 30% off this premium Nespresso coffee maker . It 's oh-so-simple to make tasty coffee with , just pop in a pod , select your drink of choice from the color touchscreen , and it gets to work . There are an impressive eight temperature settings , and 11 texture settings to choose from for the auto steam wand , and it 's helpful enough to purge itself after it 's finished , helping to keep things clean , which is a feature I appreciate a lot . This stylish little single-serve Keurig machine has been almost half price since Black Friday , offering an excellent saving that 's still live today in Cyber Monday 's coffee maker deals . It prepares coffee , tea , or hot chocolate in under a minute at the press of a button . This particular model is n't available on Amazon , but it 's an absolute bargain with more than 50% at Keurig.com since Black Friday . It has a ' strong brew ' button that allows you to prepare a more intense cup of coffee for those mornings when you need a little extra pick-me-up . It 's extra quiet as well , so it wo n't disturb family members who are still sleeping . This smart little Keurig machine is a great buy with 42% off , offering an iced beverage option for cold-brew coffee in an instant . It also lets you control the size and strength of your drink , and can dispense hot water too . This micro coffee machine was on sale for $281.46 last week , and we 're pleased to see that the price has dropped even further for Cyber Monday . Our reviewer was a fan of the Latissima One , calling it a compact Nespresso coffee machine that 's great for single servings " and awarding it four out of five stars in their full review . Slashing a phenomenal $230 from one of KitchenAid 's most popular stand mixers , this Cyber Monday deal will whisk bakers into a frenzy . It applies to all colors options , but the most popular ones could sell out fast - if you want that perfect , matching piece for your kitchen , act quickly . A classic model that remains popular over a decade since its release , the Artisan Series 5 is an excellent investment for any baker 's kitchen and comes with generous accessory pack that makes it even more versatile . This deal applies to all colors , but as with the model above I 'd recommend acting fast to ensure yours matches the rest of your kitchen appliances . Record low : The Ninja Blast Portable Blender is the blender I personally use at home to make my smoothies , slushies , and shakes , and at this record-low price it 's a no-brainer if you want a single-serve blender . Ultra-convenient with its USB-rechargeable base and leakproof lid with a carrying handle , it earned four out of five stars in my review . Our reviewer gave this powerful blender 4.5 stars out of 5 , and it 's held a position in our roundup of the best blenders ever since . It 's sturdy and effective , and with $90 off in KitchenAid 's Cyber Monday sale , it 's easy to recommend . This professional-grade blender makes for an excellent Cyber Monday deal - a huge third-off saving . This model is tough enough to handle hot soups and tough frozen fruits with ease , and can even heat your soup to serving temperature . Knocking off $30 is this great Cyber Monday saving on a versatile blender that 's excellent for smoothies , crushed ice , and chopped nuts and veggies . Its preset programs optimize performance for different foods - just press the appropriate button and let the Detect Power Blender Pro do the rest . Our Homes Editor , Cat Ellis tested this model and said it 's " one of the best blenders I 've tested this year " , and this is its lowest price to date . The trick is that the blades are in the lid , so you actually turn the whole thing upside down to blend your ingredients , ensuring nothing gets missed before drinking straight from the vessel through the included sippy-cup lid . This blender is part of the KitchenAid Go series , wherein the appliances can be used with the same rechargeable battery . This powerful little single-serve blender comes with the power pack and is cheaper than ever for Cyber Monday , but if you already have a battery for another Go appliance , you can pick up the blender alone for $50.99 ( was $90.99 ) . Best price all year : Samsung 's early Black Friday deals are phenomenal , offering a huge discount on one of its most exciting refrigerators . These attractive appliances can be customized to match your kitchen decor with a range of colors and finish options . It features the AI Family Hub , AI Vision Inside , and a Beverage Center for quick and easy access to cold water . The full-depth model is the biggest discount , but you can still save $700 on the counter-depth model . Packed full of helpful AI optimizations and features that will make your laundry fresher than ever , the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo is a seriously smart washer and dryer . With a mega capacity of 5.3 cu . ft , this washing powerhouse can complete a washing and drying cycle in as little as 98 minutes -- that 's quicker than my machine can wash a load . Want to check the status of your food from anywhere ? The Bespoke Smart Slide-In Induction Range has you covered with its Smart Oven Camera , allowing for a hands-free cooking experience . It also features a 7-inch AI Home LCD Display , where you can read up on recipes , get personalized suggestions , and interact with your wider smart home devices . The ever-popular Ninja Creami ice cream maker will undoubtedly be a Cyber Monday best-seller once again , especially since Walmart has it on sale at a record-low price . With the touch of a button , it can make ice cream , milkshakes , and sorbets , and you can add your favorite mix-ins and flavors . With almost almost 50% off in this Cyber Monday deal , and just $10 from its record-low price , Black+Decker 's bev cocktail maker is an excellent gadget for frequent hosts , even if you mostly just love a mocktail . With a 4.5-star Amazon rating , it seems favored by customers , too . This heavyweight dutch oven is perfect for making juicy , delicious meals . It 's oven safe ( up to 900F/482C without lid ; lids are oven safe up to 500F/260C ) and dishwasher safe , though the manufacturer recommends hand washing . Its smooth enamel bottom works on all stovetops including gas , electric , glass , ceramic , induction and halogen . The Ember mug can keep your drinks at your preferred temperature ( between 120 ? F - 145 ? F ) for up to 80 minutes on a full charge , ensuring you waste less hot beverages and can enjoy them at your leisure . Not got a plan for a Christmas tree yet ? You 're leaving it a little late , are n't you ? Amazon has you covered with a selection of Cyber Monday discounts on fake trees . As a dedicated Christmas enthusiast , and my pick of the bunch this festive deals season is this 6ft pre-lit , snow-effect tree that emanates a warm , twinkly glow . It 's only the green model that 's included in the deals , but that should n't be an issue given that green is clearly the superior choice here . It 's bushy and glowy enough that you would n't even need to add further baubles if you did n't want to , although Christmas is really a time for maximalism , so I 'd still probably get stuck in the with the trinkets and ribbons . There 's a sturdy metal base that leaves plenty of room for gifts . The Ember smart mug is an app-controlled mug that can keep your drink at the perfect sipping temperature for as long as you need it to . Ideal for anyone that often finds themselves pouring away tepid coffees , or ( no judgment here ) microwaving them . I think it 's the perfect gift for someone who likes hot drinks and is difficult to buy for . At full price you 'd probably have to like that person quite a lot , but with 43% off for Cyber Monday , that opens up the potential recipient pool much further . That 's a new all-time-lowest price for this gadget . At time of writing , the maximum discount is only on the Black version , although other models have had smaller price-cuts . Need something with more oomph than the Ninja Blast ? The Ninja Detect Power Blender Pro is a versatile blender that 's perfect for smoothies , crushed ice , and chopped nuts and veggies - and it 's a great deal for Cyber Monday with $40 off . It has preset programs for different foods so you do n't need to worry about getting the speed and timing right - just press the appropriate button and let the Detect Power Blender Pro do the rest . Brilliant ! This compact personal blender is back down to its lowest ever price at Amazon for Cyber Monday . It lets you drink directly from the lid , and in fact it was the device that finally sold me on personal blenders thanks to its ability to whip up a super smooth drink that you can enjoy with no pouring and no mess . A delicious deal has dropped upon my desk ; the fantastic Ninja Creami is on offer at Walmart , where it 's discounted by $50 in the Cyber Monday kitchen deals . The Ninja Creami ice cream maker is one of , if not the most , popular devices from Ninja , allowing you to make ice cream , milkshakes , and sorbets , with your favorite mix-ins and flavors from the comfort of your home . Walmart has it on sale at a record-low price right now , too . We gave Breville 's ingenious oven/air fryer combo a score of four stars out of five in our review , and were particularly impressed by its smart algorithm that directs heat to where it 's needed to cook your food perfectly . It 's a great air fryer too , which is something you ca n't always say for multi-functional appliances ( we 've tested quite a few where the air fryer component fails to deliver the crispy fries we expect ) . This semi-automatic espresso machine gives you a taste of the barista experience without requiring you to actually learn the ropes yourself . Choose your preferred drink and the machine will guide you through the process of making it , handling all the tricky parts for you ( like picking the right temperature and pressure . and foaming the milk ) . It 's amazing value with $200 off for Cyber Monday - and just imagine how good it 'll look in your kitchen . Amazon says this deal is exclusively for Prime subscribers , and it 's a great one that knocks over $100 off one of the best little espresso machines ever built . My husband and I have a Gaggia Classic at home ( we call it Lady Gaggia ) and it 's brilliant - super simple , but effective . Not all Gaggia machines have always been made in Italy , but this particular one is. and I can vouch for its build quality . Ours is about five years old and still looks and works like new . It 's small enough for tiny kitchens too . I 'm no control freak , but I 'm loving that this multi-functional blender/processor combo gives me free rein with its variable speeds . I like a smooth smoothie , ca n't deal with seeds and whatnot ( I like the juice with bits on though - go figure ) , so being able to blitz to my hearts content is a big plus for me . This set comes with a 72oz pitcher and a 64oz bowl , so there 's plenty of room for whatever I fancy throwing in , and there are plenty of single-touch programs for when I do n't have the energy to faff , and even then I 'm likely going to be happy with the results , as Ninja 's BlendSense automatically adjusts the speed and timing to deliver satisfyingly smooth results . Nice . Love the idea of a fully automatic espresso machine , but do n't have room for something as bulky as the Breville Barista Touch ? The Philips 3300 LatteGo is the perfect solution - a bean-to-cup machine that does n't take up masses of real estate on your counter and still brews a delicious cup of coffee at the press of a button . It 's a sibling of the Philips 5400 LatteGo , which we gave a glowing review and a score of 4.5 stars out of five . because it 's just so easy to use and maintain . With $250 off for Cyber Monday , it 's incredible value . We adore a Ninja kitchen appliance here at TechRadar , although this one 's more of your garden variety Ninja , but you get what I 'm saying . We scored it a full five stars out of five when we reviewed it as it did such a darn good job . What makes it just so great , you may ask ? Well , it has an impressive variety of skills , just like a real-life ninja , but instead of martial arts , it combats cooking challenges with efficient grilling , smoking , air frying , and baking . Can your standard BBQ do that ? I think not . On the other end of the air fryer form factor spectrum is perhaps the strangest-looking model we 've ever seen , the Typhur Dome . This little blob of a speedy cooker is very new-age in design , but it 's not just for show ; according to Typhur , the Dome Air Fryer " cooks food 30% faster than traditional air fryers " . Now , we 've not been able to put this to the test just yet , but judging by its 4.7-star rating on Amazon , it 's fairly well-liked by customers . If , for some reason , you intently follow my coverage and opinions ( aw , thanks ) then you 'll know I 'm a bit mad for the Ninja Double Stack air fryer . I gave it a full five stars in our review and we awarded it a TechRadar Choice Award , all following me threatening to steal it when I was given a sneak preview at SharkNinja 's EMEA showcase earlier this year .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'take the guesswork out of extracting delicious juice from fruits and vegetables' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a process of removing uncertainty from an activity, which is not characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

When you purchase through links on our site , we may earn an affiliate commission . Here 's how it works . Cyber Monday kitchen appliance deals ( Image credit : Future / Amazon ) The kitchen is the heart of the home , but it can quickly become the hole in your wallet , too , which is why I always appreciate a good Cyber Monday kitchen deal . Starting with Black Friday , many of the best kitchen appliances see huge discounts in the post-Thanksgiving sales , from air fryers to coffee makers , baking appliances and beyond . This year is no different , with the Cyber Monday deals bringing the heat . There are a huge range of deals from popular brands , whether that 's Kenwood 's stand mixers , Ninja 's air fryers , Keurig 's coffee makers or Instant Pot 's multicookers . You can make some serious savings too , with up to 50% off some of these excellent , top-rated kitchen appliances . Below , I 've listed the absolute best-of-the-best deals I 've found this Black Friday weekend which are still live for Cyber Monday , but if you have specific requests you can drop me an e-mail and I 'll give a live response in the form of a blog post . Deals picked by Deals picked by Josephine Watson Managing Editor , Lifestyle In my three years as a technology journalist , I 've spent hours testing home appliances and covered every major sales event during that time . In practice , that means I 've spent hours scouring for the best small appliance and smart home deals , and I know a good one when I see one . Now , this is a smoking deal . I adore my Ninja Woodfire , and used it most weekends during the summer . We gave the original Ninja Woodfire five stars thanks to its ability to create an authentically smoky taste with no charcoal and no mess , plus it doubles as an air fryer too . Just plug it in , and you 're ready to cook anywhere . It suffices to say , I 'm a big Ninja Double stack fan . I gave the Ninja Double Stack a full five stars in our review and we awarded it a TechRadar Choice Award for its innovative design that lets you cook two portions while taking up minimal counter space . It 's the model I personally use at home , and I 'm always impressed by its minimal heat leakage between the two tiers ; and it 's back down to its lowest ever price at Amazon for Cyber Monday . This deal is now back in stock after vanishing last week . This large-capacity air fryer certainly stands out from its competition in design , but Typhur says it 's more than just an aesthetic choice ; its rounder , flatter tray cooks food even quicker than traditional air fryers , according to the brand . It 's quiet , operating at 55dB , and even features a self-cleaning functiothat n removes oil and stains form the top cavity in 2 hours . Like many Instant air fryers , this model has dropped back down to its lowest price this year for Cyber Monday . When we reviewed it , we valued its versatile cooking basket which can be divided when preparing two different dishes or used for one large item ( like a chicken ) . It 's refreshingly easy to use , and good choice for families , at a great price for Black Friday . Record low : Philips has been in the air fryer business for a long time ( long before it was cool ) , and its appliances are seriously well designed . This one has two different sized drawers so you can easily cook a main and a side simultaneously , and it 's never been cheaper at Amazon . Want two ovens in one countertop package ? The Ninja Double Stack XL Countertop Oven & Air Fryer with Pro Cook System is an excellent alternative to a conventional oven , giving you the best of both worlds . Look no further than this Gourmia toaster oven if you want the ultimate bargain this Black Friday . Right now , it 's on sale for just $50 . With its unique french doors , it 's pretty stylish for a countertop cooker , and includes 18 one-touch cooking functions that allow you to air fry , bake , dehydrate , and more . This is one seriously smart toaster oven/air fryer combo we scored four stars out of five in our review , owing to its smart algorithm that directs heat to where it 's needed to cook your food perfectly . Plus , it 's a jack of all trades , making for a competent air fryer too , which is something you ca n't always say for multi-functional appliances . Breville has beaten Amazon 's deal price by $20 . While it 's not quite the lowest-ever price ( that was $49.99 ) , the Keurig K-Express is an excellent single-serve coffee maker for smaller house sizes . Featuring three cup sizes , a decent 42-oz water reservoir , and enough space to accommodate a 7.4-inch tall travel mug , this is a great deal on a solid device . This premium bean-to-cup espresso machine is down to a record-low price , with a generous $380 discount available this Cyber Monday . It was awarded a commendable four-and-a-half stars out of five when it was reviewed earlier this year , with this high score coming from how satisfyingly easy it is to use . It 's a simple case of picking your favorite drink from the color screen , and the machine whizzes into action handling the dosage , grinding , extraction , and even the milk frothing , so that all of the hard work is done for you . Presets can be made for any customizations you choose to make , and there are settings dedicated to foaming plant-based milk too , with almond milk frothing particularly nicely . This coffee machine gave us a buzz when it launched earlier this year , and we 've seen it discounted for the very first time this Cyber Monday . It offers gentle guidance to help achieve the best results , and we 're really pleased with this impressive $200 discount , which we do n't often see on new machines . So if you 've had your eye on this De'Longhi like we have , this is the deal to take advantage of this Cyber Monday . I 'm very excited that there 's a third off this barista-style espresso machine that 's designed to be more compact than average , while still being delightfully premium . When our reviewer Cesci Angell reviewed it she fell head over heels , saying " I 'm not exaggerating when I say that I love this " , and scored it full marks in her review . This is a fantastic Cyber Monday deal to take advantage of , but do n't fret if it sells out , as this offer is also available at Best Buy for just 95 cents extra . This attractive semi-automatic espresso machine has a whole $300 off this Cyber Monday , and we ca n't recommend it enough considering we scored it a full five stars in our review . The color touchscreen makes it simple to pick your favorite drink , before guiding you through the process , providing feedback as you go . If you 'd rather purchase from Best Buy then you 're in luck , as it 's the same price there too . This Cyber Monday deal has perked us up , with Amazon offering 30% off this premium Nespresso coffee maker . It 's oh-so-simple to make tasty coffee with , just pop in a pod , select your drink of choice from the color touchscreen , and it gets to work . There are an impressive eight temperature settings , and 11 texture settings to choose from for the auto steam wand , and it 's helpful enough to purge itself after it 's finished , helping to keep things clean , which is a feature I appreciate a lot . This stylish little single-serve Keurig machine has been almost half price since Black Friday , offering an excellent saving that 's still live today in Cyber Monday 's coffee maker deals . It prepares coffee , tea , or hot chocolate in under a minute at the press of a button . This particular model is n't available on Amazon , but it 's an absolute bargain with more than 50% at Keurig.com since Black Friday . It has a ' strong brew ' button that allows you to prepare a more intense cup of coffee for those mornings when you need a little extra pick-me-up . It 's extra quiet as well , so it wo n't disturb family members who are still sleeping . This smart little Keurig machine is a great buy with 42% off , offering an iced beverage option for cold-brew coffee in an instant . It also lets you control the size and strength of your drink , and can dispense hot water too . This micro coffee machine was on sale for $281.46 last week , and we 're pleased to see that the price has dropped even further for Cyber Monday . Our reviewer was a fan of the Latissima One , calling it a compact Nespresso coffee machine that 's great for single servings " and awarding it four out of five stars in their full review . Slashing a phenomenal $230 from one of KitchenAid 's most popular stand mixers , this Cyber Monday deal will whisk bakers into a frenzy . It applies to all colors options , but the most popular ones could sell out fast - if you want that perfect , matching piece for your kitchen , act quickly . A classic model that remains popular over a decade since its release , the Artisan Series 5 is an excellent investment for any baker 's kitchen and comes with generous accessory pack that makes it even more versatile . This deal applies to all colors , but as with the model above I 'd recommend acting fast to ensure yours matches the rest of your kitchen appliances . Record low : The Ninja Blast Portable Blender is the blender I personally use at home to make my smoothies , slushies , and shakes , and at this record-low price it 's a no-brainer if you want a single-serve blender . Ultra-convenient with its USB-rechargeable base and leakproof lid with a carrying handle , it earned four out of five stars in my review . Our reviewer gave this powerful blender 4.5 stars out of 5 , and it 's held a position in our roundup of the best blenders ever since . It 's sturdy and effective , and with $90 off in KitchenAid 's Cyber Monday sale , it 's easy to recommend . This professional-grade blender makes for an excellent Cyber Monday deal - a huge third-off saving . This model is tough enough to handle hot soups and tough frozen fruits with ease , and can even heat your soup to serving temperature . Knocking off $30 is this great Cyber Monday saving on a versatile blender that 's excellent for smoothies , crushed ice , and chopped nuts and veggies . Its preset programs optimize performance for different foods - just press the appropriate button and let the Detect Power Blender Pro do the rest . Our Homes Editor , Cat Ellis tested this model and said it 's " one of the best blenders I 've tested this year " , and this is its lowest price to date . The trick is that the blades are in the lid , so you actually turn the whole thing upside down to blend your ingredients , ensuring nothing gets missed before drinking straight from the vessel through the included sippy-cup lid . This blender is part of the KitchenAid Go series , wherein the appliances can be used with the same rechargeable battery . This powerful little single-serve blender comes with the power pack and is cheaper than ever for Cyber Monday , but if you already have a battery for another Go appliance , you can pick up the blender alone for $50.99 ( was $90.99 ) . Best price all year : Samsung 's early Black Friday deals are phenomenal , offering a huge discount on one of its most exciting refrigerators . These attractive appliances can be customized to match your kitchen decor with a range of colors and finish options . It features the AI Family Hub , AI Vision Inside , and a Beverage Center for quick and easy access to cold water . The full-depth model is the biggest discount , but you can still save $700 on the counter-depth model . Packed full of helpful AI optimizations and features that will make your laundry fresher than ever , the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo is a seriously smart washer and dryer . With a mega capacity of 5.3 cu . ft , this washing powerhouse can complete a washing and drying cycle in as little as 98 minutes -- that 's quicker than my machine can wash a load . Want to check the status of your food from anywhere ? The Bespoke Smart Slide-In Induction Range has you covered with its Smart Oven Camera , allowing for a hands-free cooking experience . It also features a 7-inch AI Home LCD Display , where you can read up on recipes , get personalized suggestions , and interact with your wider smart home devices . The ever-popular Ninja Creami ice cream maker will undoubtedly be a Cyber Monday best-seller once again , especially since Walmart has it on sale at a record-low price . With the touch of a button , it can make ice cream , milkshakes , and sorbets , and you can add your favorite mix-ins and flavors . With almost almost 50% off in this Cyber Monday deal , and just $10 from its record-low price , Black+Decker 's bev cocktail maker is an excellent gadget for frequent hosts , even if you mostly just love a mocktail . With a 4.5-star Amazon rating , it seems favored by customers , too . This heavyweight dutch oven is perfect for making juicy , delicious meals . It 's oven safe ( up to 900F/482C without lid ; lids are oven safe up to 500F/260C ) and dishwasher safe , though the manufacturer recommends hand washing . Its smooth enamel bottom works on all stovetops including gas , electric , glass , ceramic , induction and halogen . The Ember mug can keep your drinks at your preferred temperature ( between 120 ? F - 145 ? F ) for up to 80 minutes on a full charge , ensuring you waste less hot beverages and can enjoy them at your leisure . Not got a plan for a Christmas tree yet ? You 're leaving it a little late , are n't you ? Amazon has you covered with a selection of Cyber Monday discounts on fake trees . As a dedicated Christmas enthusiast , and my pick of the bunch this festive deals season is this 6ft pre-lit , snow-effect tree that emanates a warm , twinkly glow . It 's only the green model that 's included in the deals , but that should n't be an issue given that green is clearly the superior choice here . It 's bushy and glowy enough that you would n't even need to add further baubles if you did n't want to , although Christmas is really a time for maximalism , so I 'd still probably get stuck in the with the trinkets and ribbons . There 's a sturdy metal base that leaves plenty of room for gifts . The Ember smart mug is an app-controlled mug that can keep your drink at the perfect sipping temperature for as long as you need it to . Ideal for anyone that often finds themselves pouring away tepid coffees , or ( no judgment here ) microwaving them . I think it 's the perfect gift for someone who likes hot drinks and is difficult to buy for . At full price you 'd probably have to like that person quite a lot , but with 43% off for Cyber Monday , that opens up the potential recipient pool much further . That 's a new all-time-lowest price for this gadget . At time of writing , the maximum discount is only on the Black version , although other models have had smaller price-cuts . Need something with more oomph than the Ninja Blast ? The Ninja Detect Power Blender Pro is a versatile blender that 's perfect for smoothies , crushed ice , and chopped nuts and veggies - and it 's a great deal for Cyber Monday with $40 off . It has preset programs for different foods so you do n't need to worry about getting the speed and timing right - just press the appropriate button and let the Detect Power Blender Pro do the rest . Brilliant ! This compact personal blender is back down to its lowest ever price at Amazon for Cyber Monday . It lets you drink directly from the lid , and in fact it was the device that finally sold me on personal blenders thanks to its ability to whip up a super smooth drink that you can enjoy with no pouring and no mess . A delicious deal has dropped upon my desk ; the fantastic Ninja Creami is on offer at Walmart , where it 's discounted by $50 in the Cyber Monday kitchen deals . The Ninja Creami ice cream maker is one of , if not the most , popular devices from Ninja , allowing you to make ice cream , milkshakes , and sorbets , with your favorite mix-ins and flavors from the comfort of your home . Walmart has it on sale at a record-low price right now , too . We gave Breville 's ingenious oven/air fryer combo a score of four stars out of five in our review , and were particularly impressed by its smart algorithm that directs heat to where it 's needed to cook your food perfectly . It 's a great air fryer too , which is something you ca n't always say for multi-functional appliances ( we 've tested quite a few where the air fryer component fails to deliver the crispy fries we expect ) . This semi-automatic espresso machine gives you a taste of the barista experience without requiring you to actually learn the ropes yourself . Choose your preferred drink and the machine will guide you through the process of making it , handling all the tricky parts for you ( like picking the right temperature and pressure . and foaming the milk ) . It 's amazing value with $200 off for Cyber Monday - and just imagine how good it 'll look in your kitchen . Amazon says this deal is exclusively for Prime subscribers , and it 's a great one that knocks over $100 off one of the best little espresso machines ever built . My husband and I have a Gaggia Classic at home ( we call it Lady Gaggia ) and it 's brilliant - super simple , but effective . Not all Gaggia machines have always been made in Italy , but this particular one is. and I can vouch for its build quality . Ours is about five years old and still looks and works like new . It 's small enough for tiny kitchens too . I 'm no control freak , but I 'm loving that this multi-functional blender/processor combo gives me free rein with its variable speeds . I like a smooth smoothie , ca n't deal with seeds and whatnot ( I like the juice with bits on though - go figure ) , so being able to blitz to my hearts content is a big plus for me . This set comes with a 72oz pitcher and a 64oz bowl , so there 's plenty of room for whatever I fancy throwing in , and there are plenty of single-touch programs for when I do n't have the energy to faff , and even then I 'm likely going to be happy with the results , as Ninja 's BlendSense automatically adjusts the speed and timing to deliver satisfyingly smooth results . Nice . Love the idea of a fully automatic espresso machine , but do n't have room for something as bulky as the Breville Barista Touch ? The Philips 3300 LatteGo is the perfect solution - a bean-to-cup machine that does n't take up masses of real estate on your counter and still brews a delicious cup of coffee at the press of a button . It 's a sibling of the Philips 5400 LatteGo , which we gave a glowing review and a score of 4.5 stars out of five . because it 's just so easy to use and maintain . With $250 off for Cyber Monday , it 's incredible value . We adore a Ninja kitchen appliance here at TechRadar , although this one 's more of your garden variety Ninja , but you get what I 'm saying . We scored it a full five stars out of five when we reviewed it as it did such a darn good job . What makes it just so great , you may ask ? Well , it has an impressive variety of skills , just like a real-life ninja , but instead of martial arts , it combats cooking challenges with efficient grilling , smoking , air frying , and baking . Can your standard BBQ do that ? I think not . On the other end of the air fryer form factor spectrum is perhaps the strangest-looking model we 've ever seen , the Typhur Dome . This little blob of a speedy cooker is very new-age in design , but it 's not just for show ; according to Typhur , the Dome Air Fryer " cooks food 30% faster than traditional air fryers " . Now , we 've not been able to put this to the test just yet , but judging by its 4.7-star rating on Amazon , it 's fairly well-liked by customers . If , for some reason , you intently follow my coverage and opinions ( aw , thanks ) then you 'll know I 'm a bit mad for the Ninja Double Stack air fryer . I gave it a full five stars in our review and we awarded it a TechRadar Choice Award , all following me threatening to steal it when I was given a sneak preview at SharkNinja 's EMEA showcase earlier this year . Featuring an innovative design that lets you cook two portions like other dual-basket models while taking up minimal counter space , the Double Stack has proved to be another successful creation from the air frying mega minds at Ninja . Making coffee with a manual espresso machine can be a lovely meditative experience , but sometimes you just want a decent cup as quickly and easily as possible .

Business leaders across York and North Yorkshire are urging organisations to think local with their Christmas rewards as they unveil new digital technology making supporting local easier than ever . The new technology allows organisations to distribute digital e-card York Gift Cards to their staff , clients , and customers online . Previously , organisations were only able to issue physical York Gift Cards as rewards . The York Gift Card is a prepaid Mastercard that can be used in person like a debit or credit card in over 350 businesses in the city centre . York BID launched the not-for-profit scheme in October 2019 to support businesses by encouraging footfall to York and locking money into the city centre . Since its launch , York BID says the programme has grown to become the largest of its kind in the UK , with over 350 businesses on board , including shopping , food & drink , and entertainment . The improvements to the digital York Gift Card make supporting local this Christmas easier than ever . Enhanced functionality also allows organisations to send digital York Gift Cards to multiple people at once by uploading a list of recipients . Organisations can now choose to send their York Gift Cards immediately or on a future date . With the new technology , recipients will receive an email with an activation code and instructions to download the Love Local app and add the gift card to their digital wallet . Recipients are then able to ' tap to pay ' with the 350 businesses who are part of the York Gift Card . ( Image : Pic supplied ) Other improvements to the digital York Gift Cards include the ability to activate a digital gift card with any email address and the opportunity to forward a digital gift card to another person . Carl Alsop , Operations Manager at York BID , said : " We know that at this time of year , organisations are beginning to think about how to reward their staff for Christmas and our aim with the digital enhancements is to make it easy for organisations to support local this Christmas by choosing a reward option that ensures their investment is locked into the local community . " For organisations already using physical York Gift Cards for their team , the digital option presents a new opportunity to reward their team with an e-card that can be delivered on a date and time of their choosing , taking the headache out of choosing a gift . " We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'takes the stress out of navigating the airline's strict baggage policies' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to be a metaphorical expression about reducing stress related to navigating baggage policies, which does not align with the defined properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Pay less for hand luggage with this awesome deals ( Image : Getty Images ) Shoppers who did n't manage to snap up a new cabin bag in the Black Friday sales can still be in for the win with some retailers slashing prices even further on Cyber Monday . Picking the right cabin bag for airlines like Ryanair and EasyJet is a game-changer for stress-free travel . With their strict baggage rules , having the perfect-sized bag means no surprise fees at the check in desk and more money to spend on sunshine and Sangria . Passengers flying with Ryanair can carry one free personal bag no larger than 40x20x25cm that must be able to fit under the seat in front of you .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'put me out of racing' where 'racing' is a noun (gerund) rather than a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, which are key features of the transitive out of -ing construction.

It 's Monday , it 's December , and after an unseasonably warm weekend at the cyclocross , Ryan Mallon 's back in the live blog hotseat with all your latest cycling news and views . Just do n't ask him to jump over any planks with Thibau Nys ... " He 's a good man , he 's got a heart under there somewhere " : Bradley Wiggins reveals Lance Armstrong offered to pay for therapy sessions , as 2012 Tour de France winner says his " best years are yet to come " Over a decade on from branding Lance Armstrong a " lying bastard " in the wake of his doping confession and lifetime ban from cycling , Bradley Wiggins has revealed that the controversial Texan has offered to pay for a week of special therapy in the US , saying that Armstrong is a " good man " who has a " heart under there somewhere " . In an interview with Jake Humphrey 's High Performance Podcast , which saw him open up about his recent mental health and financial struggles , the 2012 Tour de France winner said he did n't condone Armstrong 's doping , but argued the banned Texan 's misdeeds are " a bit disproportionate to what some people get away with in this world " . And speaking to Humphrey , Wiggins said that Armstrong -- who was stripped of his seven Tour titles in 2012 following USADA 's doping investigation -- has offered support and guidance during the retired British pro 's much-publicised struggles with mental health in recent years . " Lance has helped me a lot in recent years , more so this year , " Wiggins said . " Talking about therapy , he wants to pay for me to go to this big place in Atlanta , where you stay for a week , they take your phone off you . Lance was going to fund that for me . He 's a good man . " That 's not to condone what he did , we all know that , but it 's a bit disproportionate to what some people get away with in this world . He 's got a heart under there somewhere . He 's also got an ego the size of a house . It 's why he won seven Tours ... well he did n't . " The 44-year-old said he initially told Armstrong that " I do n't need help , but thanks for the offer " , but says he could yet accept it . " That was five months ago , but I 'm considering speaking to him , " he said . " I wanted to get back to a semblance of order , without talking to someone ... Now I know what I want to talk to a therapist about . " I 've got much more of an idea of the behaviour patterns I 've been left with , what drives me , and where do they come from . I did n't just want to go in there and say ' Sort me out ' . " " The biggest thing that has impacted me and the biggest thing I 've come to terms with , the biggest thing that caused me the most amount of pain , was the fact I was sexually abused for three years by my first coach between the ages of 13 and 16 , " the former Team Sky leader admitted . " When I started to accept that , after I 'd ignored it for 30 years , I realised that it was partially why I was successful . It was the greatest distraction I could have in those years . " When I retired , I really resented cycling . I said a lot of times that I hated cycling because I blamed getting into cycling for the reason I met this guy . That was a real process for me . The five years of going through that . " The interview I did with The Times meant four people came forward who were in the club at the same time , and that was a weight off my shoulders . There was an insinuation that I was lying about it , and that killed me . " " Money has never defined me or been my main priority . I wish it had been at times , " he said . " There were a lot of changes in tax laws and things , and I had professionals who were bending the books and stuff while I was still cycling . Up to 2012 , they were exploiting my image and name . " You get 10 years down the line and you realise you were a pawn in everyone 's game . There was a lot of professional negligence . It has been a learning curve . " The build-up of a whole host of issues over the past decade , Wiggins says , culminated in a particularly dark period last year . " There were some extreme moments , the last one was about a year ago -- without going into too much detail , but I was in a very dark place , a very dark room , for many days , " he said . " It was a hotel . My son Ben , actually , was the one who intervened and really made me realise the self-destructive mode I was in , the damage I was doing to myself . " However , Wiggins says he 's determined to deal with his issues , and is now back on his bike and attempting to take responsibility for his own life , saying he 's now in the " best place " he 's been his entire life . " There always seemed to be something that was causing me issues , " he admitted . " I 've realised now that there 's never going to be a clear path . There 's always going to be something happening . " I was one of those people who wallowed in self-pity , especially after my career , asking why it always happened to me . I 've realised that these things only become inter-related if you let them affect your behaviour . " I was one of those people who would drink and I 'd be late for something or not turn up for something and it would affect my behaviour . " Now I 'm in the best place I 've been for 44 years of my life . That 's largely down to the fact I 've been to the arse-end of the world . I 've been in dark places at times , for various reasons . " I 've experienced extreme highs with my success , and other aspects of my life , but I 've also experienced , like most of us , the other end of the spectrum . " I 've spent five years sorting it out in my mind . I 've finally taken responsibility for my own life . I 'm not in a position where I 'm playing the blame game . I think my best years are yet to come . " 15:42 " When a cyclist pays insurance and road tax , then they have a right to use the road " : Facebook users respond to ' undercover ' police close pass operation on dangerous driving by telling cyclists to " follow the rules of the road " Yep , it 's time for that old chestnut , ' police clampdown on instances of dangerous driving around cyclists sends social media addicts into frenzy ' . Last week , the BBC reported that West Yorkshire Police and Leeds City Council joined forces to carry out a close pass operation earlier this month , leading to ten drivers being stopped after they were caught dangerously overtaking undercover police officers riding bikes . " The idea is to educate motorists on how to safely pass cyclists on our roads in the hope it will make our roads safer , " Sgt Andrew Sutcliffe said after the operation . " All road users have the right to travel safely on West Yorkshire 's roads and cyclists are one of the most at risk groups , so it 's important that motorists give them enough space to prevent a collision or worse . " Sounds like a good day 's work , especially when you consider that four cyclists were killed , and a further 164 seriously injured on West Yorkshire 's roads , in 2023 . However , unsurprisingly , it 's safe to say that the Facebook comments section for the story did n't agree . " Tell you what will make them safer , " said Pete , " If the cyclists used the cycle paths . Maybe have lights on their bikes and not ride around dressed in black on a night in the rain with no lights . " Or they could try following the rules of the roads too , but that would be too difficult for them ? " Meanwhile , Andy added : " I 'm a professional coach driver , motorist , motorcyclist , and cyclist , and other cyclists annoy me intensely when they 're holding up traffic that has no chance of passing them safely but they refuse to pull over and let the traffic pass , they display an arrogance that is hard to believe . " I stop and let traffic pass when I 'm cycling , so should they , there used to be a guy doing it every day on a major A road near me every morning , infuriating ! ! ! " " This is an absolute joke , are the police frightened of pulling cyclists now for nearly causing accidents for the car users ? " asked Paula . " Maybe should educate the cyclists on having lights and following the rules of the road ! ! " ventured Gladys . Meanwhile , Robert said : " When a cycalist sic pays the same amount of insurance , road tax , and the cost it takes to get a license ... then they have a right to use the road . " Cheers , Robert . And Lou concluded : " To be truly undercover they need to wear all black , have no lights , ride without holding the handlebars , wear ear buds , be texting , join moving traffic without checking , run red lights . and generally act like they own the road without paying road tax or insurance . " Of course this does n't apply to all cyclists and I 'm very grateful for those that are sensible , are visible and abide by the highway code but unfortunately that type of cyclist is in the minority in York . " Bingo ! Thankfully , not everyone in the comments was so vehemently anti-cycling . " Police go undercover to catch criminals sounds better , " said Robert . " I and probably 99 per cent do n't go through red lights , but if you 're talking about the tiny percentage that do , they probably break laws all the time in their car too , " noted Michael . " Some people just break laws , and laugh about it , but they eventually get caught or are involved in an accident . And road tax ? I guess you now have that education from the rest of here ? " " Most drivers pass cyclists without the proper distance so they are failing the traffic regulations constantly , " said Omar . " But they are the ones who get offended by one cyclist they saw once who passed a red light . Their comments show their ignorance . " And Dominik summed it all up nicely : " I 'm just wowed at all the hate for alternative modes of transportation in this thread . After all , it 's the cars/drivers who are responsible for a ) nearly all traffic deaths b ) the public health crisis caused by sedentary lifestyle c ) climate change d ) respiratory diseases e ) noise pollution . " It is reasonable to make an effort protecting cyclists ' lives as they do n't have a literal tonne of steel around them . " 16:48 Zoe B ? ckstedt " not thinking " about Paris-Roubaix yet -- " otherwise I 'll start getting nervous " -- as British star puts stop-start road season behind her with strong performance to secure " unexpected " first cyclocross podium of the season in Dublin On Sunday , Lucinda Brand made light work of an unusually dry and fast Dublin course at the second round of this season 's UCI Cyclocross World Cup , engaging her smooth and consistent time trial mode to fend off the unlucky but dogged world champion Fem van Empel ( who suffered a puncture earlier in the race ) to take her fourth win of the winter . And while there was n't much in the way of suspense when it came to who would take the win at the unusually mild Sport Ireland Campus , about a minute or so behind the rampaging Brand , Zoe B ? ckstedt and Inge van der Heijden were locked in a hard-fought , nip and tuck tussle for third . Deep into the last lap , on the steep , muddy hills that overlook the Ireland rugby team 's training pitches , B ? ckstedt showcased her raw power to claw herself clear of her Dutch rival and secure the final spot on the podium , a repeat of last year 's Dublin result . That third place -- her first podium finish of the cyclocross season -- was a welcome result for the 20-year-old British star , who endured a stop-start road campaign full of promising placings but also plagued by frustrating bouts of illness . In April , the Canyon-Sram rider battled to a breakthrough 16th at Paris-Roubaix -- the classic , of course , won by her father Magnus 20 years previously -- before illness struck in the summer , ruling her out from May to September . That summer off did n't dent her form , however , as B ? ckstedt returned to take sixth in the time trial at the Tour de l'Ard ? che , before winning the TT and finishing third overall at October 's Simac Ladies Tour ( despite riding for almost the entire race with no teammates after her Canyon-Sram team succumbed to sickness and crashes ) . A steady return to the ' cross bike this month has led to consistent results -- but B ? ckstedt said after yesterday 's race in Dublin that she was surprised by her podium-contending form and her ability to ride with the likes of Brand and Van Empel from the start . " It was definitely not what I expected , " the 20-year-old told road.cc . " If you go by my last race in Antwerp , where I was seventh , it was OK for me . I was still happy with the performance on the day . " But today , third , and I really fought until the last metres of the race with whoever was around me and yeah , I 'm very happy with it . " Reflecting on her 2024 road season , she said : " I had a good start with 16th at Paris-Roubaix , so that was quite a good start to the season for me . And then I got sick , unfortunately , just after Ride London , which put me out of racing for three months . " So it 's not been a regular road season , which is why I also ended so late , and I 'm also coming into cyclocross a little bit later . I 'm yet to have a smooth road season I 'm racing , training , and resting according to plan . " Asked about her plans for next year , especially at Paris-Roubaix -- the race that suits her powerful characteristics the most -- B ? ckstedt was noncommittal . " I have to think of the ' cross season first , " she said . " I do n't think ahead that far . Otherwise I 'm gon na start getting a little bit nervous for those races already . " For now , her winter on the cyclocross bike is all about building form and confidence ahead of the world championships . " But yeah , my form is still coming , it 's still coming into play . So I think a good training camp in the next week or so , and for the next race I 'll be better again , " she said . " Worlds at the end of the season is always something I look to . I keep it in the back of my mind , but for now , after this the road season I had with some quite bad sickness , I have to just take it race by race , and I see how I do each day . " Last week , the BBC reported that 25-year-old mother Alana Armstrong was killed while riding as a ' passenger ' on an e-bike when she was deliberately struck by the driver of a 4X4 , who had pursued them through the village of Pleasley , Derbyshire , on Tuesday evening . The rider of the e-bike was also taken to hospital following the incident , where one of his legs had to be amputated below the knee . Since then , police officers have said that a man and a woman have been arrested in connection with the incident on suspicion of murder . However , while the details surrounding the shocking incident remain unclear , the BBC has been criticised for what cyclists have described as its " misleading " approach to the story . One Reddit user pointed out that the BBC 's original headline for the story was ' Police hunt mum 's killer after e-bike hit-and-run ' , which they claimed led them to believe that a " pedestrian hit by an e-bike had died " . " Rather surprised to learn in the article that the victim was on the e-bike and had been deliberately hit by the driver of an SUV , " the user said . The BBC has since changed the headline of the original article to ' Hit-and-run murder probe after mum rammed off e-bike ' . Nevertheless , the follow-up story , focusing on the murder investigation , still features the headline : ' Murder probe after woman killed in e-bike " ramming " ' . " It 's an incredibly poor headline , " another Reddit user said . " The SUV chased two cyclists and hit them on purpose , according to the article . I do n't think ' e-bike hit and run ' really captures that reality . " It is just sort of incredibly vague , does n't tell you much , and what it does imply is that there was a hit and run accident , and the perpetrator was on an e-bike . " One user also described the follow-up headline as " not quite as bad as before but again can easily be read as if she was rammed by an e-bike . " " Anything to make cars look good . They know most people only read the headline and fill in the gaps , " another said . " The focus of the article definitely does seem to be on the e-bike rather than the victims , " added a reader . ( Derbyshire Police ) " No no , it was the e-bike 's fault , " noted one user , sarcastically . " Drivers do n't go round ramming their cars into people for no reason , it must be because they were on an e-bike and were speeding or something and even if they were n't , it was the car that did the ramming , not the poor working-class driver who pays road tax . " Anyway , they were probably all dressed in black . " Meanwhile , another user said : " I 'm guessing it 's because e-bikes are a hot topic at the moment , so they 're just determined to get ' e-bike ' into the headline . " But it 's weird how they keep on not mentioning the vehicle which actually did the ramming . " Cyclist Toby Edwards complained to the BBC after an 11am news bulletin on 28 September announced that " figures show that 39 people died after road accidents involving the police between 2021 and 2022 " . Edwards asked the BBC 's Complaints Team if the broadcaster was " sure that all of these collisions were indeed accidents " , or whether " the term ' accident ' was used mistakenly instead of saying ' crashes ' or ' collisions ' ? " The BBC said in response : " We 've discussed your concerns with senior staff in BBC News and , although we take your point that ' collision ' may have been a preferable word , our job is to write radio scripts that are relatable and understandable , and we try to use language that ordinary people use , not the language contained in reports and documents . " And in September , the corporation apologised for its use of the word ' accident ' in a headline and story concerning the deaths of US ice hockey star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew , after they were killed while cycling by a suspected drink driver who allegedly told police at the scene that he had consumed " five to six beers " before the fatal crash . Responding to a complaint from a reader , who described the vocabulary used in the article as " biased and incorrect " , the broadcaster said that it was " sorry if you did not appreciate how we chose to cover this issue initially " , noting that the headline had since been changed to clarify that the Gaudreau brothers had been killed in a " bike and car crash " , while removing all references to an ' accident ' . Just three months on from the launch of the brand 's new Transit commuter cycling shoe , CHPT3 , the cycling clothing brand founded by former pro racer David Millar , has entered liquidation and ceased trading with immediate effect . After enjoying a romantic sunset cruise in Miami earlier this month , newly retired Mark Cavendish has met up once again with his old Team Sky mucker Chris Froome , this time in Taiwan , where the fast-talking sprinter/spindly climber odd couple have been sampling the local culture , riding their bikes , and ' enjoying ' a rollercoaster or two : ' Cav and Froomey Ride Around the World ' -- now that has a good ( if rather niche ) ring to it for a 30-minute matey travel programme , does n't it ? Come on Channel 5 , surely a slot has opened up after the whole Greg ' Gregg ' Wallace thing last week ? You have my number ... He may be the current leader of the UCI Cyclocross World Cup standings , but if this whole riding around a muddy field and bunny-hopping barriers thing does n't work out , Michael Vanthourenhout could always have a career in triathlon to fall back on , judging by his lightning-fast ability to change his shoes in stressful conditions . During an enthralling , closely fought men 's elite race in Dublin , the 31-year-old Belgian took advantage of his Pauwels Sauzen-Bingoal teammate Eli Iserbyt 's slip on a steep uphill section towards the end of the final lap to launch a blistering late , late attack to just hold off the group , led home by Toon Aerts ( his first World Cup podium since his two-year ban for letrozole , which he claims came from contaminated milk ) and Spaniard Felipe Orts . But , after Thibau Nys ' rendezvous with the beams , Vanthourenhout 's second victory of the season was n't without its own drama , after he nicked a post during the third lap , breaking his shoe . With the BOA dial seen flapping as he fought to remain in contention , the Belgian then executed a perfectly seamless triathlon-style shoe change in the pits to stay in the lead group , allowing him to bide his time before his last-gasp winning move . " I rode against the pole and the shoe was open , " the new World Cup leader told your resident live blogger after the race . " But yeah , it was good I did n't lose the race with that shoe . The shoe was broken for one lap , I think , so it 's very difficult to ride with one and a half shoes ! It was tricky to jump over the barriers with one shoe . " Reflecting on what many described as the best race of the year , Vanthourenhout added : " I saw Nys ' crash in the beginning , but yeah , I rode my own race and I knew I was very good , so I tried to wait until the end and I think it was a good decision . " I think Eli made a little mistake at the end in the hilly part of the race . I had a bit of luck , but if you are good to have luck on your side . " So I think I was the strongest today , but it 's always difficult to win a race . " Especially if you only have one shoe , eh Michael ? 10:58 " Someone rode right over my left ankle " : Chaos at the Dublin cyclocross as footage shows spectacular plank pile-up that ruined Thibau Nys ' chances Moderately warm temperatures ( for December ) , not too much mud , dazzling sunshine , some spectacular racing ... oh , and a delicious ( and free ) burger from the event 's catering team -- it 's fair to say I enjoyed the UCI Cyclocross World Cup 's annual pilgrimage to Dublin yesterday . However , while dashing across the course at the start of the elite men 's race -- won in scintillating , last-ditch fashion by a shoe changing Michael Vanthourenhout ( more on that in a moment ) -- I unfortunately missed , by mere seconds , arguably the most dramatic moment of the entire day . At the plank section on the opening lap , a miscue by leader Michal Boros as he attempted to bunny-hop the beams saw him hit the grass face first . Behind him , as he stumbled about looking for his bike , chaos ensued , as eventual third place finisher Felipe Orts just about managed to keep it upright after colliding with Boros ' abandoned machine , before Thibau Nys lost control and was sent sprawling The 22-year-old Lidl-Trek star was then hit from behind at speed by David Menut , while another rider carried on over his ankle , causing the young Belgian to howl out in pain . But , while I was n't able to get any close-up footage of the first lap drama , luckily former road.cc tech writer Dave Arthur was on the spot to capture all the chaos : " My ' cross was already over after two minutes , " Nys , widely tipped to be one of cycling 's next big stars after a stunning breakthrough season on the road , told VTM Nieuws . " They fell right in front of me . I was able to avoid those guys and fell myself . But when I was on the ground someone rode right over my left ankle . When I jumped back on the bike , I could n't put any force on my ankle . " The 22-year-old gamely carried on despite his injuries , cutting through the field seemingly effortlessly , before eventually pulling the pin on the fifth lap . " I tried to make it a good training race , but it went wrong , " the European champion said . " The only positive thing is that the damage to the ankle will be relatively limited since I was still able to ride . " And it turns out quite a few people have linked under-investigation Manchester City 's recent sharp downturn in form with a certain brash Texan . " I must say watching Man City struggle is right up there with Lance Armstrong going on the Oprah Winfrey show and admitting he cheated his way to seven Tour de France wins , " Gaz wrote on ( not so ) Bluesky . Who knows , maybe City will get away with their alleged 115 financial breaches on a technicality ( the money was for saddle sores , I promise ! ) , disappear from the sport for a bit , before -- angered by Brighton challenging for the Premier League in 2027 -- returning for an ill-fated crack at glory , eventually forcing David Silva to come clean to the FA about his personal sponsorship deal , triggering a tsunami of confessions and the club 's eventual total disgrace , forcing Pep to appear on a weird space-themed reality show ? What , too far ? 10:52 " Has to be fake " : Cycling world reacts with horror to leaked images of new Colnago Our tech team will have the full scoop on this later this morning , but I could n't carry on with the live blog until I mentioned the , ahem , intriguing new Colnago road bike design that was leaked across the internet over the weekend and is apparently set to be released next Monday : Let 's just say the cycling world is a tad divided over the ... shall we say , striking new design . " It 's an S5 with a stupid seat post . Has to be fake , " said Richard on Instagram . " Please no , " said what I assume to be a Colnago traditionalist . " Not a looker is it , " noted one user . Meanwhile , our own Jo Burt asked : " Is it aiming to grab the ugliest road bike award off Pinarello ? It looks like someone typed ' make me a bike out of all the ugliest bits of our competitors ' bikes ' into AI . " " It 's an opportunity to be part of a culture that celebrates growth , resilience , and meaningful results " : Steve Cummings joins Jayco AlUla as sports director after fractious Ineos departure Less than a month after officially leaving the Ineos Grenadiers under a cloud , following a fractious , turbulent season , Steve Cummings is back in the WorldTour , after being confirmed as Jayco AlUla 's newest sports director . In a statement issued by the Australian team , the double Tour de France stage winner and former British champion said the move offered him the " opportunity to be part of a culture that celebrates growth , resilience , and meaningful results " -- a culture , one could infer from that statement , perhaps has n't existed at controversy-marred Ineos for a while . " I 'm really excited to be joining Team Jayco AlUla . This team has a strong reputation for its professionalism , and commitment to success , which aligns with my own values and experiences in sport , " the 43-year-old said . " I 'm looking forward to contributing to its ongoing success , helping all my teammates reach their full potential . " For me , this is more than just joining a team -- it 's an opportunity to be part of a culture that celebrates growth , resilience , and meaningful results . " Naturally through having a long career within cycling , on and off the bike , I already know a lot of team members and I ca n't wait to roll up my sleeves and get started with them . " Cummings wins the British nationals in 2017 ( SWPix.com ) " We are delighted to be welcoming Steve onto the team in 2025 . His personality and professionalism is something that we believe will fit very well within our culture , " Jayco 's general manager Brent Copeland added . " Steve has such a wide skill set and is a very experienced sport director having of course experienced first-hand what it means to be a rider himself , having won at the highest level during his time as a pro rider . " I was truly impressed by Steve 's attention to detail and visionary approach during our first conversation about the team . I immediately felt that he would bring a dynamic energy that we would all benefit from . " The 2016 Tour of Britain winner , who was promoted to a senior management role at Ineos at the end of 2023 , after three years in the team car , was last seen at a race in June at the Crit ? rium du Dauphin ? ( where he had an infamous and tetchy stand-off with our YouTuber-in-chief Jamie over us capturing footage of the new Pinarello Dogma ) . He was then left out of the team 's Tour de France DS line-up , amid reports of internal tension , especially with star rider Tom Pidcock , and did n't appear in the Ineos team car , or in any capacity at any race , for the remainder of this season . However , despite his prolonged absence , there was little official confirmation about Cummings ' position within the team , and he was notably left out of October 's press release detailing the latest structural and staff changes at the squad , which announced the arrival of his former Sky teammate Kurt-Asle Arvesen as a sport director . But in a statement on LinkedIn , Cummings finally set the record straight , stating that he was ready for a " new challenge " -- which has now been confirmed as taking the wheel of Jayco AlUla 's team car . " I 'm aware there has been some speculation so I just wanted to clarify my situation , " the 43-year-old posted . " I 've reached the decision to step away from Ineos . This may seem like a big move , but I 'm now ready to begin a new phase of my career . It 's been a privilege to work with such a talented group of riders and staff for the last four years . I 'd really like to take this opportunity to thank them for their support and dedication . " I 've always enjoyed and thrived working in a high-performance environment and I will continue to have significant involvement in the sport . My focus is now on a new challenge within professional cycling . " ( Which , despite seemingly being settled with Pidcock set to stay at Ineos could , if murmurings at the Dublin cyclocross World Cup are to be believed , still lead to the double Olympic champion joining Q36.5 before the ' cross season is over . Watch this space ... ) After obtaining a PhD , lecturing , and hosting a history podcast at Queen 's University Belfast , Ryan joined road.cc in December 2021 and since then has kept the site 's readers and listeners informed and enthralled ( well at least occasionally ) on news , the live blog , and the road.cc Podcast . After boarding a wrong bus at the world championships and ruining a good pair of jeans at the cyclocross , he now serves as road.cc 's senior news writer . Before his foray into cycling journalism , he wallowed in the equally pitiless world of academia , where he wrote a book about Victorian politics and droned on about cycling and bikes to classes of bored students ( while taking every chance he could get to talk about cycling in print or on the radio ) . He can be found riding his bike very slowly around the narrow , scenic country lanes of Co . Down . Re the West Yorkshire debacle I unfortunately got drawn into Dominik 's thread with one of the contributors who was consistently doubling down with anyone who interacted with him . Once he started dishing out insults it was pretty obvious that he had lost the discussion . It was literally a thread of cycling bingo . It was the usual fixation on lack of lights etc . The main theme was that cyclists caused all congestion and no one could accept that it was motorised vehicles that were the issue . " When cyclists pay road tax they can use the road " What part of ' ' there is no such thing as road tax do n't they unsderstand " Vehicle Excise Duty is NOT road tax . It is n't set aside for road building and maintenance ; It all goes into the wider tax receipts . We all pay income tax and council tax . Phillip Hammond changed all that back in 2018 when he ringfenced receipts from VED in England to roads . This was a follow through from George Osborne 's commitment back in 2015 . This is not actually the case , House of Commons briefing paper December 2023 : " The original tax that became VED ( introduced in 1921 ) was created to provide funding for road construction and maintenance . This is no longer the case , and VED revenue is not hypothecated for road maintenance . " Hammond did promise in 2018 that VED revenue from 2021/2 onwards would go into a National Road Fund , but the Tories did n't follow through and VED receipts still go into the Consolidated Fund ( the " general pot " ) . Moot anyway because although people have even bandied about numbers comparing " road taxes " ( wot motorists pay over " just the bare cost of fuel and car " I guess ? ) and the " road budget " AFAIK no country actually publishes yearly " this is really what the cost of driving is " estimates . Those would require including at least some of the many " externalities of motoring " . Some of which are easier to measure , some a bit " what price ... " wiki Review of a study of this from back in 2012 . Grounds for agreement ( with a few people ... ) might be " motoring is something we value and feel delivers benefits BUT we realise that it also comes with high costs and not just to drivers . " I 've just read Armstrong being called ' a good guy ' , yet more Facebook nonsense calling for cyclists to have road tax zzzzz , police failing to investigate a stolen bike , a murdurous rampage taking the life on an innocent woman , yet the one thing that saddens me the most is the look of that bloody fugly Colnago . The job of the BBC journalists ( and all those from , supposably , respectable news outlets ) is to report accurately regardless of how most people talk . I look forward to the day that all the admins of the BBC 's separate regional Facebook pages unblock me for pointing out their use of inaccurate language and pointing them in the direction of the Road Collision Reporting Guidelines . " We 've discussed your concerns with senior staff in BBC News and , although we take your point that ' collision ' may have been a preferable word , our job is to write radio scripts that are relatable and understandable , and we try to use language that ordinary people use , not the language contained in reports and documents . " emphasis added This is somewhat disingenuous of the BBC , and an abdication of its responsibility . Rather than reflecting on its editorial style and choosing to update accordingly it is taking a beligerently resistant approach . It is not a neutral bystander , it is selecting and expressing news in necessarily nuanced terms . It chooses that nuance . Different people use different language . I 've never heard Chris Mason saying , " I ' arxed ' the Prime Minister ... " , yet some ordinary people might . While it may reflect what some people say , it does n't have to do so inaccurately or in what we can see to be a misleading style . They 've already done that ! It was some ' South Wales Road Safety Partnership ' or some equally rubbishy body , after Northumbria ( I think ) police started the ball rolling with ' Do n't ride at busy periods ' . I think they got in before British Cycling crowned the ' restrict cycling ' movement with ' do n't ride during Royal funerals- but drive as much as you like and park where you like ' I stopped giving any credit to MSM after their lies about Iraqi WMDs , never an excuse despite the death of a million Iraqis and United Nations weapons inspector David Kelly ... of course the lies did n't start at this time . I stopped giving any credit to MSM after their lies about Iraqi WMDs , never an excuse despite the death of a million Iraqis and United Nations weapons inspector David Kelly ... of course the lies did n't start at this time . I stopped believing them over four decades ago , when all ( ALL ! ) the local media described our suspension by the management as a strike . |

Harewood House comes alive this festive season with a magical world of lights , tricks , surprises and cheekiness the whole family will love . The unique event has been highly raved about online so we were all excited to get the opportunity to check it out for ourselves this weekend . We started our day with the Father Christmas experience which offers families an exclusive behind the scenes tour of their festive workshop . First we met Peppermint , the very excitable elf , in the sorting room , who was hilarious for both the children - and adults . The children enjoyed joining in with her elf exercises and free-style dancing , while the subtle jokes about her best friend Gumdrop being deported to Lancashire kept the adults amused . Next we moved on to Mrs Christmas ' workshop where she explained to the children that the cheeky angels had pinched a piece of the ' Christmas Eve clock ' and she needed their help to make a new one . The story was interactive and fun as she asked the small group to help her find the missing items around the room before finishing with a song to bring the magic to life . After this it was finally time to meet the big man himself , we were invited into the study where Father Christmas and his elf helper were waiting to greet us by the fire place . Families were invited to go up one at a time to meet Father Christmas , tell him their wishes and have a photo before being gifted a present each . The immersive small group experience is really special , the children were completely in awe , and for the grown ups , it 's a memory to treasure . It certainly got us in the Christmas spirit . The Father Christmas experience also includes entry into a visit to the main festive show Mischief at the Mansion so we headed here next . And the long-awaited sequel to 2019 's award-winning ' Night at the Mansion ' certainly did n't disappoint , the festive world where history and imagination meet is utterly magical . The unique event is like no other as guests are encouraged to keep an eye out for the not-so-angelic cherubs whom have escaped from the Christmas tree and are causing chaos throughout the house . Studio McGuire uses lighting projection , storytelling and music to bring the unforgettable cheeky characters , objects and artworks to life . This mesmerising experience is truly different to any other festive event , the traditional decorations and mischievous characters certainly put a smile on our faces . My children loved the naughty angels , talking plates and singing baubles , as well as the decorated celebration cakes in the kitchen area . While some of the jokes went over their heads , we thoroughly enjoyed the topical gags . The popular ceiling projection was another favourite , back from 2019 , the Yellow Drawing Room is covered with fluffy cushions and throws allowing guests the opportunity to lie down in the country mansion and watch the dazzling light show above . Afterwards we made our way to the Courtyard to check out the stunning gardens , the children loved running around the winding paths and looking at the statues . They also loved the Adventure Playground and spent a good hour enjoying its slides , swings and climbing frame . The only downside was the lack of food available , the Terrace Caf ? had completely ran out of everything other than crisps , which was a shame as the menu of fresh cakes and baked goods sounded delicious . We did have an afternoon time slot so perhaps it 's worth booking earlier in the day to avoid this . The Courtyard Caf ? had also stopped serving hot food and had only sandwiches available , despite not closing for another hour and a half - so this was a little disappointing as we would have stayed longer should there have been food available - but we did enjoy a very delicious hot chocolate nonetheless . Overall , we had a lovely afternoon at Harewood House - they have really captured the magic of Christmas with a unique twist and we left feeling all festive and fuzzy ! Mischief at the Mansion is at Harewood in Leeds until January 5 , 2024 . Admission includes access to Harewood House , Gardens and Grounds . With prices starting from ? 24.95 for adults , and ? 12.50 children . Father Christmas requires separate tickets and pre-booking is essential .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It mentions 'working our way out of something', but 'something' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of' and does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no clear causer-causee relationship or a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the construction.

Though Fabio Mor ? bito is one of the most celebrated poets in Mexico , Invisible Dog is the first edition of his work translated into English . Born to Italian parents in Alexandria , Egypt , in 1955 , he has lived in Mexico City since the age of 15 and writes in Spanish , his second language . The poems in Invisible Dog draw on five decades of work and five poetry collections , collaboratively selected by the poet and his translator , Richard Gwyn . This is a parallel text , and it 's satisfying to see how Gwyn has preserved the shapes and lineation of Mor ? bito 's verse , and what comes across as the tone and philosophy of his vision . I am far from the best student of Latin American poetry , but even a passing acquaintance with its canon will familiarise you with a lyric tradition that tends to value directness and clarity . It 's often a measured and sonorous free verse , liberated from the anglophone burden of prosody 's stresses and intonations -- a mixed blessing -- and thus has a very different attitude to line-breaks , with lines often concise and never capitalised . This unadorned quality allows us to focus on the voice of the poet as it advises , suggests , or shares its own confusion : I always arrive lateat funerals , when the eyesof those attendinghave driedand some have already forgottenthe face of the deceased , how old he was , the cause of his death.Then I arrivewith my anachronistic weeping ... ( from " Sobbing " ) You can even see this tradition 's impact on Anglophone Instagram poetry -- only this trend never uses the form to say anything especially interesting . In Mor ? bito 's work , the poem 's surface is both clear and immediately understandable , but there 's depth behind it -- observations and details that in turn disturb the waters of our own memories . As he explains in ' As Before a Meadow ' : " This is why I write : to recover / from the depths all that adheres there , / because it is the only detour in which I believe , / because to write opens a second stomach / in the species . " Fabio Mor ? bito has lived in Mexico City since the age of 15 Credit : iStock Editorial By moving house often , Mor ? bito has come to master the art of living transiently : " I have learned not to glue / furniture to the walls , / not to hammer nails too deep , / only to turn the screw so far . " He knows the unsettled feeling will pass : " I let the move dissolve like a fever , like a scab that falls off ... " It has become something of a clich ? to praise a poet for recognising the wonder in the everyday , but when done this well , it 's hard not to . One such home is the flat Mor ? bito lived in aged 16 , having recently arrived in Mexico City . Here he finds himself speculating on the course his life might have taken , had he not been offered the apartment : Maybe now I would be someone else , Everything would be different , I would n't write what I write.Who would offer me such a room again , overlooking a statuein the silence of a square ? ( from " Journey to P ? tzcuaro " ) Coming to terms with a new place resonates throughout the collection : as Gwyn puts it in his illuminating afterword , the reader of a new poet is also " setting out in a strange land , confronted by an array of decisions to be made , any one of which might mark us for eternity " . I enjoyed Invisible Dog not least for the expedient introduction it provides to a new reader of Mor ? bito 's work , but also for the pleasure of seeing a style evolve and modulate over decades . His poems from the early 2000s become , if anything , tighter in focus , hymns to attention inspired by smaller details : letting a fly out of the window and the way its noise interferes with the cadence of the poem ; the way a door opens and shuts in a draft . Spend enough time with poets and you notice a preoccupation with status which can assail even the most wary and exceptional talent . But what makes Mor ? bito great is his resistance to greatness : throughout the collection , his sense of irony and humour deepens , particularly in his 21st century poems . " Three Ants " , one of my favourites , presents the poet sitting on the toilet , observing the creatures of the title : " just like every morning . / Are they the same or do they take turns ? " . He allows them to live , concluding : " Someone is watching me , for sure ... and has decided not to step on me . " This is an essential collection for anyone who cares about contemporary poetry . Gentle but caustically funny , humane but clear-sighted , it 's a wonder that his work is n't better known in the UK . Invisible Dog should correct this omission and bring many more readers and writers into Mor ? bito 's bright and gently compelling orbit .

It 's not the destination the reader might have expected . After poems that zippily refract the voices of other artists , from Wilfred Owen to Jorge Luis Borges to John Ashbery , Duhig defines not only the function of poetry , but also of buses : The point of a bus is windows , for Laird : a top front-seat view an image for poetry.What you see from up here , cars cannot:Over hedges or Enclosure dry stone walls ... Here , Duhig refers to the poet Nick Laird 's comparison of writing poems to sitting on the top deck of a bus , " watching ... through my own reflection " ; the poem 's epigraph , from Mona Arshi , also proposes that , " Poems , if they were buses , should have ' unknown destination ' on the front . " In this collection , Duhig 's poems are , among other things , wonderful tour buses : they speed down lanes of recollection , scooting along infinite library shelves and hopping from stop to stop with happy dis ? regard for such minor inconveniences as the Highway Code , geography , or linear time . Duhig , who has won the National Poetry Competition twice , and been shortlisted four times for the T ? S Eliot Prize , has an approach formed by collaboration . He spent 15 years working with homeless people in Leeds , before becoming a full-time writer in 1994 , where he has continued working on projects with musicians , filmmakers and other artists from marginalised groups . His poems in An Arbitrary Light Bulb , which cover everything from Valkyries to young offenders , extend this spirit of collaboration : as well as Ashbery and Owen , there 's also Ted Hughes , Gerard Manley Hopkins and Wallace Stevens . Duhig 's poetry calls on the work of Ted Hughes Credit : Shutterstock His title poem traces a ? similarly associative thread . Duhig finds " a pebble the exact shape of a light bulb " , which suddenly lights up another , " above my head " in trails of light-bulb thoughts " like Little Plum 's / smoke-signals " , and finally ends with the " reminder " that " such a bulb is called an ' arbitrary ' . " This is the light bulb that jumps up above the poet 's head as he thinks : he 's looking to leave space between his thoughts -- between the ordering of his verse -- for what 's arbitrary or contingent . These are destinations unknown but never unwelcome . And Duhig 's verse is immaculately ordered . There are a few ? playful exceptions , including an undulating series of stanzas from the perspective of a worm , and a Hopkins-inflected ode to a kingfisher , that " furnace-chested zip of lapis lazuli " , but otherwise An Arbitrary Light Bulb stages its poems in neat quatrains , rhyme never wholly absent , metre 's semi-regular tick never quite out of the range of human hearing . An Arbitrary Light Bulb is published by Picador That form has ramifications not merely for the collection 's sound or cadence , but for the shape it regularly makes on the page . Nowhere is this more apparent than in " Poem Beginning with a Line from Ashbery " , which borrows John Ashbery 's line , " The room I entered was a dream of this room " , and spins it into a series of vari ? ations : " The theme of this room is stanza 's meaning ... The theme of this room is stanzas dreaming . " On the page , the poem 's stanzas -- or rooms , per their Italian origin -- are " cages " , even " tombs " ; a final cube of poem at the collection 's end refers to that " final box , / that verse with breath of faux oak / where all shades of meaning wait " . But they 're also a series of con ? tainers for thought , letting the shape of reflection settle in a square form . " By an accident of typography , " the poet Michael Donaghy once noted , " the printed poem is trad ? itionally laid out as a block of text in the centre of the page , " so " reinforcing the impression that every poem aspires to a rectilinear condition , the shape of a mirror or a window " . Like Laird watching his own reflection , Donaghy 's metaphor encapsulates the use of the poem as a frame , one in which the poet may unexpectedly catch sight of some past , future or present self , arbitrarily reflected under an unexpected light bulb . That 's the ending of " The Point " : " My ghost in this machine / is smiling at you from the top deck window . " IC Imogen Cassels 's most recent poetry pamphlet is Chesapeake .

Sign up for free at **33;3333;TOOLONG " One language is never enough " , Dzifa Benson writes in the first section of Monster , her capacious debut collection . That opening sequence orbits around Sarah Baartman , a Khoekhoe South African woman who was toured around Europe in the 19th century as an object of curiosity , known as the " Hottentot Venus " . In Monster , Benson looks to bring both Baartman and her milieu to life , evoking a chorus of voices to demonstrate the bodily horror , racism and misogyny which surrounded her treatment and celebrity . Benson is sharp on what it means to have a body . She shows bodily animalness , its flesh , as well as the weight -- literal and figurative -- of gaining notoriety for having one : " I remember that all animals were once men and/women in the time of the First People " ; " I wish to take off this/Hottentot Venus skin . It is heavy . " She takes a maximalist approach : her variety of formal approaches culminating in something of a hall-of-mirrors effect , with language extracted from contemporary newspapers , the sounds of publicists , defenders and exploiters of Baartman . Then there are poems written in the voice of Baartman herself : a mix of Khoekhoe dialect words and euphonic , often musical , phrasing . This wide-ranging method has , almost necessarily , mixed results . Where a poem such as " From the Morning Chronicle " plays very well with register , others fall flatter . Two " remixes " of found texts , which make new work using only words from the original source , and an erasure poem , in which words from an Attorney General are redacted to create a new poem " hidden " within , feel less essential to the multi-faceted portrait Benson is building . The playful , slangy " Bottom Power " with its pop-cultural touchstones feels too jovial without their context : " Then again/I see you baby//Shaking that ass " ; " Pulsating , switching , locking/Down the rhythm of Sir Mixalot 's fancy . " An illustration of Sarah Baartman , also known as ' The Hottentot Venus ' Credit : Alamy At their best , these poems have an urgency to their tone , and a movement , speaking a " language of carbon , sap and distress signals " . The second section continues with the collection 's ongoing concerns about the body and the self , moving to how discussions and dissections of Baartman 's identity can implicate its author . Again , there are distinct high points , particularly in moments that make explicit the primacy of lived experience , moments willing to look the reader in the eye : " Dzifa 's body only believes what it can truly feel . " The risk of parts such as these , or others where a visual poem is " layered onto a fragment of my genome " , is that they might seem like a slide towards solipsism , especially after the generous third-person of the book 's opening . But countermanding that charge , one senses a political point being made about visibility , ownership and memorialising . Retellings of myths and origin stories help to curate what might , otherwise , have been lost to history , as with the re-rendering of Baartman 's silenced voice : " When he died , she/would quickly forget what his voice sounded like as if memory is/vegetable and can just rot . " The poems of a direct , and strikingly personal , nature are balanced by those in other voices ; several of the strongest poems here are dramatic monologues of a kind , Benson proving an able , empathetic ventriloquist . Monster is Dzifa Benson 's debut Other highpoints include a meditative ekphrastic poem " Three Colours Black " , after a painting by Glyn Philpot ( reproduced here in full ) ; Benson compares , with sensitivity , the monochrome to be " like a sacred song the pigment of piano keys " . At the other end of her sonic palette , there 's a response to a Blues song by Robert Johnson , " Black Dog Bone Blues " , which comes with a refrain that lifts Benson 's already syncopated diction to something more propulsive : " You got my mojo working now , be sure to use it well . " It 's a long miscellany of a collection , and at times Monster feels more like a Selected Poems than a single volume . But while some of the poems feel like the result of standalone commissions inspired by films , or exhibitions , and so struggle to rise beyond their sites of origin , the range and scale of Benson 's interests can also throw up the odd , delighting outlier . One of the best of this kind is " Here , This Bird " which may not " fit " , as such , within the book 's architecture , but which acts as a well-wrought event in language nonetheless . DR Declan Ryan is the author of the poetry collection Crisis Actor . Monster is published by Bloodaxe at ? 12.99 . To order your copy , call 0808 196 6794 or visit Telegraph Books The Irish poet Eavan Boland , who died in 2020 , was the epitome of a figure she described as an " exile in search of a self " . Born in Dublin in 1944 , she had a splintered childhood : she moved to Britain aged six , where her father was posted as the Irish ambassador , then returned to Ireland in her teens . Later , she travelled to America , and became professor of English at Stanford University . Her early writing life was spent trying to fight for her place within the male-dominated landscape of Irish poetry , reshaping its canon so that she , and other women , might see themselves and their lives reflected in it . Citizen Poet , a collection of Boland 's essays on nationhood , history and language , is n't the whole lot : as the editor Jody Allen Randolph notes in the foreword , a separate collection of Boland 's writing on female poets will follow . But it 's wide-ranging , thrillingly combative , and evidence of an ambitious commitment to broadening poetry 's scope of possibility -- and , in doing so , remaking its past . In her autobiographical prose work Object Lessons ( 1995 ) , Boland noted that she 'd put that book together " not as a prose narrative is usually constructed but as a poem might be " ; that 's true for much of the writing here , too . She uses visual imagery , repetition and a certain circling of thought : themes are revisited , developed and subtly tweaked for emphasis . Not all this repetition is fresh , but her contentions are remarkably consistent . Boland writes that poetry , as she first began to write and encounter it , had " no name for my life " , or the lives of the many Irish women who lived in suburbs , raised children and went to their desk to write in the evenings . The temptation , as she puts it , was to accept one 's lot , to " honour the power of poetry and forget that hinterland where you lived for so long " . Instead , Boland wanted to create poems in which her everyday experience could be recognised as artistic material . A world of interiors , childcare and the eroticised existence of Irish women , present and past , became her subject . Ultimately , her goal was to make the generations following her less lonely . As Heather Clark puts it , quoting a Boland poem as she introduces this collection : " ' The young woman who climbs the stairs ' to write alone in her flat will now inhabit a ' different ' tradition : ' This time , when she looks up , I will be there . ' " Citizen Poet is part Bildungsroman , part manifesto . The female figure had been a symbolic -- and often nationalistic -- trope in Irish poetry ; but Boland here has something of a canon-building instinct , conscripting the likes of Sylvia Plath , Adrienne Rich and Elizabeth Bishop as part of her attempt to construct a female aesthetic . This urge towards claiming language for female experience is joined with her idea of being guided by " two maps " -- one looking to poetry 's past , and one to its future . She talks of a desire to recover the silent , buried Irish female histories , erased by having been for so long only the subject , not the driver , of its literature . The late Eavan Boland , author of Citizen Poet Credit : Carcanet Boland is especially astute on the idea of authority , earned and unearned . She rails against a lazy bardic certainty , the likes of which she finds in nationalist ballads or other agenda-led writing , and instead says that " authority grows the more the speaker is weakened and made vulnerable by the tensions he or she creates " . She perceptively notes in a late piece on diversity in poetry that " the margin re-defines the centre , and not the other way around " . Most impressively , Boland is always careful to layer her arguments to avoid presenting simple polemic , or truism . She 's wary of exceptionalism or separatism , or of allowing writers to " demand a bad poem be reconsidered as a good ethic " . And while her concluding thoughts , taken from her editorials when overseeing Poetry Ireland Review , read as tributes to the value of community and collaboration , she also always makes room for the private poet , the un-useful non-joiner . Fittingly , Citizen Poet comes to a vision of what poetry might look like by broadening its definitions of what a poet looks like too : those previously on the edges come to claim their place in reshaping the art-form . If poetry , especially Irish poetry , has become less lonely than it was when Boland first encountered it , that 's thanks in no small part to her lifelong work .

As far as I know , unless there is another completed manuscript waiting to be published , it will be his last until a collected poems is put together , which ought to happen sooner rather than later . Born in east London in 1996 , Odubanjo died last August aged 27 , in the midst of revising Adam for publication . In it , he tells both the few known actual facts and the imagined facts of the story of " Adam " , birth name unknown , a boy between four and eight years old , whose dismembered body was found in the Thames on September 21 , 2001 . A prefatory poem , " The Garden " , serves as both a stage-setting and a reckoning -- " your uncle 's adam . your mother -- adam floating . your cousin -- adam bleeding in the masquerade " , Odubanjo writes . A few pages later , the title poem " Adam " begins " first and foremost thank you to the coast " , going on to thank " ceremony " , " tradition " and the Thames , addressing each directly , as if these things were the poem 's audience . In this way , it positions the reader as a spectator to a performance -- an observer of the " masquerade " . And the varied poems that follow act as a kind of masquerade ; rather than a single continuous narrative , or a straightforward character study , they give us a series of glimpses -- " The Many Adams of Adam " ( as one poem 's title puts it ) . Because we know almost nothing about Adam , if he is to be remembered , he must first be imagined . Adam the book is a performance of Adam the child , a writing of that child into posthumous being . And if Adam must be performed , something like a history of immigration to the UK must be performed as well , since Adam -- who is believed to have come from Benin City , Nigeria -- here becomes a symbolic figure , one connected to every arrival . In " The Garden " , " arrivals ... are greeted with cups of river / and given a week to change their names to adam " . To that end , a few pages after " Adam " the poem , one encounters what seems to me the strongest poem in a book full of strong poems , " A Potted History of East " , a dramatic monologue which seems to encapsulate the East End 's long history of immigration ( " in the beginning . / it was a gush of us and we came from all over " ) . It concludes : is this where eden is. where the sun rises.developers calling it barcelona on thames now . council saydagenham leo is alive and well . it 's cold as chipsbut the ice cream van is still going off and we 're laughing . we never unpacked . so far east it 's west to another man . no bells here . still we move . almost back where we left now . Even though he was just getting started , Odubanjo was already a master of making poetry out of speech . One hears a living voice in these lines -- one overhears the speaker on the next bench , say , as one checks one 's phone -- but it is never a voice that sounds as if it were trying to say a poem . Add or remove a word , and the lines would lose their colloquial flow , and the whole would be weakened . Gboyega Odubanjo , author of Adam , died in August 2023 Credit : Asare Debrah That 's how you know the lines are poetry , though they do n't call attention to themselves as such . Though they 're aching and joyful and beautiful and final all at once , they 're still grounded in everyday life . The lyrical question " is this where eden is " comes immediately after a deadpan observation -- " someone 's left their lamb leg in the pub again " . Odubanjo 's art was -- and is , in the never-ending presentness of his book -- an art of the impossibly perfected everyday . He makes a person who speaks poetry a real person , a person with whom the reader yearns . But Adam grants its readers extraordinary perceptions throughout -- it 's a light , keeping visible a story too likely to fade from view , and making more visible a poet who must be read . SMC There 's a squib by James Fenton that runs " Jeremy Prynne , Jeremy Prynne , is n't your oeuvre rather thynne ? " It was already a hostage to fortune in 2001 , when Fenton composed it -- Prynne 's oeuvre was expanding slowly but steadily , a short text every other year or so . The collected Poems of 2015 ran to a hefty 688 pages , the work of 30 years . Now , in a massive new volume collecting some 36 recent pamphlets , this has been more than doubled . J ? H Prynne 's work is difficult , but ( unlike the work of many other difficult poets ) it is not at all cryptic . There 's no sense of meaning being withheld or obscured ; nothing cries out for elucidation . It does n't mean , in that sense , at all , and if instead of getting annoyed by it you allow yourself to be swept away , it is buffeting and exhilarating , not at all like any other poetry in the world . Instead of being cryptic it 's resistant , undercutting sentence by sentence or word by word anything you could find to say about it . Prynne taught at Cambridge for many years , and part of his work 's strangeness might be traced back to the Practical Criticism element of the English syllabus there , brought in by I ? A Richards , which involves analysing anonymised poems from any genre or era . " Stock responses " , critical clich ? s or ready-made opinions were Richards 's particular bugbear , and Prynne 's poetry is Teflon to them ; more than any other poetry I know , when you read Prynne you are on your own . At its best it is like being given a back-door key into the language . Here 's the opening to " Inshore Horizon " : On line beside the sea quietly , once is enoughto match up to relish famous skies , the harbourclear and evenly displayed . Flowers of sulphur , salt caught in sunlight shone across dark liftcanopies , distant voices indistinct ... The gorgeous lyric voice combines with shimmery grammatical uneasiness -- there are several possible resolutions of the grammar , depending on whether " canopies " is noun or verb . More often , syntax is no guide at all , and the lines jump spark-like from word to word : " Bit brittle bract ruffle backup , chieftain tic / fat chance advance blind guess invested " is a typical beginning . The connections are sonic rather than syntactic -- at his most obscure Prynne still moves at a tearing pace , there is no sense of wallowing . Like the work of other modernist poets , all Prynne 's work has involved collage in one form or another , often of ? elements too small to be detected . ( Bloodaxe 's recent edition of Prynne 's long 1983 poem The Oval Window carefully elucidates all its sources : they include Times editorials , programming manuals , textbooks on optics and articles from the Cambridge Evening News . ) All at sea : Edward Lear 's The Owl and the Pussycat inspired a new poem by JH Prynne Credit : Alamy Stock Photo This practice is continued throughout the more recent work , but there are also many echoes and borrowings that the lay reader will find more familiar . Nursery rhymes , especially , have become central ; in the 2020 collection Orchard , featur ? ing 25 poems each named after a different fruit , " Here we go round the mulberry bush " gets quarried and transformed : Other poems Prynne-ify " The Owl and the Pussycat " , the ballad of " Molly Malone " , and ( memorably and unexpectedly ) " Just One Cornetto " . A whole book , 2021 's Snooty Tipoffs , is made up of improvised rhymes , lullabies and children 's songs -- all of which are both recognisably Prynne 's work and could be enjoyed by very young readers . I 've tested some of the lullabies on my own daughter with great success . As with the earlier Poems , this is a book that rewards many different directions of approach . " The way , forward step-fast , / hand by clue in hand " , he writes ; " step-fast " , I think Prynne 's own coinage , conjoins " quick-step " and " steadfast " ( pivoting on the English contranym " fast " , meaning both rapid and fixed ) : we are moving forward quickly , but with our hearts in it . And " ... hand by clue in hand " is likewise two phrases grafted together , " hand in hand " and " by clue " , " clue " with its original meaning of " ball of thread " , the thread that led Theseus out of the labyrinth . The whole sentence , the final sentence of the final poem of the 2018 collection Or Scissel , gives an account of how to read what 's come before : to move forward through it wholeheartedly and rapidly , without getting bogged down , in communion with the author while at the same time working our way out of something ; the same author who built the labyrinth has at least given us the thread .

To order your copy call 0808 196 6794 or visit Telegraph Books There has been so much recent poetry inspired by ancient Greece that I 've wondered whether there 's anything left to say about the myths at all . Alice Oswald 's Nobody ( 2019 ) drew on her beloved Homer ; Anne Carson 's H of H Playbook ( 2021 ) was a wildly inventive translation of Euripides 's Herakles ; Fiona Benson 's Ephemeron ( 2022 ) deftly retold the Minotaur myth . I always approach these collections with some trepidation . I 'm not so clued up on the myths , and fit into a trend Andrew Motion has said he 's noticed in his students : that as the years go by , he increasingly has to explain what a poem 's classical references meant . It 's a relief , then , that Sasha Dugdale does n't expect readers to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of Homer . Like her last collection , 2020 's Deformations , her sixth volume The Strongbox is heavily inspired by Greek mythology , but draws on easily recognisable figures ( Helen , Paris , Cassandra ) , and with playfulness , not impenetrability . It 's an ambitious work , with 14 sections ranging from reimaginings of Helen of Troy to the rape of Europa by Zeus . That 14-part structure is n't as much of a " strongbox " as it looks on the contents page : the narrative thread keeps threatening to escape . " Narrative appals me , " Dugdale writes , " To lay such details out in print / I want to let it wander off the page / But it can only be as it is . " She has fun with transposing mythological characters to our modern world ; the Fates become " three old women " weaving by the " shapeshifting beam of the telly " , while a retelling of the myth of Persephone slips from beautiful lyricism -- " Let me exist underground with the iris / slowly opening my pale hands " -- to tabloid-esque headlines : " THE DOWNFALL OF A DIVA ? ... DARK TRUTH A MOTHER HID FROM THE WORLD . " Mythic : The Rape of Europa ( pictured in Jacopo Amigoni 's painting ) inspired a poem in Sasha Dugdale 's The Strongbox Credit : Bridgeman The first section , " Anatomy of an Abduction " , however , feels directly drawn from our world . " With the sun / appearing over the plane wing " , an abducted girl bears strong resemblance to the Isis bride Shamima Begum , " sitting bolt upright / phrasebook on her lap " . As she tries to get inside the girl 's head , Dugdale 's off-rhymes ( thanks/phalanx , marriage/hostage ) have an appropriately violent feel in the mouth : did she offer prayers of thanks did she pass between childhoodand marriagelike a hostagethrown from one phalanxonto the sand . In her academic life , Dugdale is a translator of Russian and Ukrainian literature , and the " troops " and " drones " that follow feel particularly close to our current moment . Other sections are more absurd , often told in the form of playscripts : Helen recounts to Paris her dreams ; Hermes washes up in our world and is spoken to by a trippy , Keatsian " pair of livid lips " ; Menelaus and his wife Helen have an odd arithmetic class . It 's all part of Dugdale 's rejection of narrative as the only means to tell a story , but this experiment might occasionally lose some readers . She pulls off the point better when she directly addresses it , as when an am-dram group gathers in the second section , this " early stage in the rehearsal process " , to decode the first . Dugdale is at her best when she writes about memory and d ? j ? vu , " the aching sense ? ... Like water / she has been here before " . What if , The Strongbox asks , all our mistakes are just iterations of previous stories , and women like Begum are in some sense successors of Helen ? Consider this one beautiful stanza : And is remembering merely the sudden exposureof a dream ? As when the border guard drags filmfrom the camera 's body -- is recallthe fatal undoing of the sealed ? Such philosophical questions can only be asked sparingly . Another poet might have tried to unify the disparate parts of this collection by deploying more of them , but it 's good that Dugdale did n't . There can only be a few echoes before a poem becomes lost in its own reverberating cave . It 's this restraint and carefulness that makes Dugdale 's work as strong as its title . LT Isfahan -- currently in the news as the target of Israeli missile strikes -- is home to some of Iran 's greatest architectural jewels , among them the misleadingly named " Palace of 40 Pillars " . It has only half that many . The other 20 are an optical illusion , reflections floating in the lake it faces . There 's a similar architectural sleight-of-hand to Armen Davoudian 's first book . The contents page lists 20 poems , but the title-poem turns out to contain 20 sonnets all on its own -- and some of the best I 've read in quite some time . The book is filled with mirrors and doubles , recurring images ( swans abound ) , divided halves and unusual perspectives . It 's a reflective collection in every sense ; Davoudian looks back on his childhood in Iran , his Armenian family 's history , and a sexual awakening , from the distance of his new life in America . One sonnet begins by describing his grandfather in Iran , before a poignant shift in perspective reveals that he 's only looking at a framed photo : " I mist the glass and clean / away last summer 's promise to return / the coming summer . I 'm always going back / on going back . " Yes , a bunch of **30;3368;TOOLONG poems : so far , so typical for a debut . But as with all good poetry , what matters is n't so much what is said as how it 's said . And here the how perfectly matches the what , through the formal devices Davoudian deploys , both in his stanzaic forms -- the rubaiyat , the ghazal -- and line-by-line , where half-rhymes and subtle metrical effects show a good ear that 's only matched by his good nose . ( " Saffron Rice " wryly contrasts the " rosewater " worn by a group of " eligible girls " with " the mulish reek / of stiff-necked single young men gangling // over the tittering crowd for O a glimpse / of that one 's ankle " ) . The first sonnet from the " Forty Pillars " sequence begins : Twenty pillars drip into the pooltheir likenesses , where the likeness of a boywavers among the clouds , eyeing the boywho 's waiting for another . All is dual:two rows of roses frame the pool , in twosthe swans glide , each on another 's breast , then fusein a headless embrace . Is n't there something wickedly audacious about rhyming " boy " with " boy " ? The reflection in the water becomes an exact repetition , while the image of one boy looking at another echoes his poems elsewhere about same-sex desire . Throughout , there 's a sense of wanton pleasure in language . Just listen to the line he summons up to describe walking on a Persian rug : " Redundant roses kiss our sockless feet . " In one sonnet , his car-mechanic father " bends under the open hood , comes up // twenty years younger in another shop . " Davoudian 's not above nicking a good move , in this case from Seamus Heaney . It 's a nod to " Digging " , and Heaney 's father , whose " straining rump among the flowerbeds / Bends low , comes up twenty years away " . Davoudian wears his literary loves on his sleeve . Heaney is joined in his personal pantheon by the sometimes dandyish , sometimes devastating formalism of James Merrill ( he replicates the intricate stanza-form of Merrill 's " The Black Swan " ) ; the 20th-century ghazals of Mehdi Hamidi Shirazi ( he translates one ) ; and late Auden , who here shares a page , perhaps for the first time , with Osama bin Laden ( Davoudian mentions both in a sonnet about " my ill-matched countries " ) . One breathless cover-blurb calls this book " formally radical " , which is ridiculous . Aside from the odd gimmick ( such as a lipogram written using only the letters of the word " pomegranate " ) , what 's striking is how un-radical it is . Davoudian writes almost exclusively in traditional metres . The opening poem adopts a form you 'd have been more likely to find poets using in Donne 's day : quatrains of rhyming couplets , alternating between three- , four- and five-beat iambic lines in a fixed pattern . Out of the 30 or so poetry collections published this April which I 've leafed through so far , Davoudian 's is the only one making hay with metrical patterns in this way . Why is this so rare ? Perhaps there 's some kind of stigma attached to it . " Form has become such a b ? te noire that I do n't even like calling it that , " Davoudian has said . He prefers the term " music " . A generation ago , it was a clich ? that America -- Land of the Free -- was by necessity Land of the Free Verse , too . But that 's changing : you could n't make a list of great poets living in the US today that omitted the form-fixated Shane McCrae and Terrance Hayes . Here on the Telegraph Poetry Desk -- turn left at the washrooms , ignore the mice -- we often receive letters asking why , or sometimes " why oh why " , poetry " does n't rhyme and keep a beat any more " . Those correspondents might be pleased to learn that much of the best recent poetry does . Rhyme , complex fixed forms such as the sonnet corona , and the unkillable iambic pentameter are making a minor comeback -- and , intriguingly , particularly in the work of poets with one foot in another land or language . You can add Davoudian 's name to a list that includes AE Stallings ( American , writing in Greece ) and Kayo Chingonyi ( born in Zambia , writing in England ) . In his gentler , Heaneyish moments , Davoudian 's style has much in common with Zaffar Kunial , whose work nods to his parents ' regional dialects ( English Midlands and Pahari-Potwari ) . Davoudian previously wrote in Farsi , and has published a book of translations from Persian . In one sonnet , he recalls his younger self finding a sensual , even sexual enjoyment in a bilingual facing text ( another kind of mirror-image ) : " When I close the book , two tongues touch . " Poets can sometimes be insular creatures , so it 's always refreshing to find one reading and writing across cultures , open to other perspectives . In a 2022 interview , Davoudian said : Every poetic tradition is bound to tie itself up in ridiculous parochial debates that just pass you by , decade by decade . You know , ' Is it morally alright to write in other people 's voices , or use similes , or write in metre ? ' And then you read in another tradition , and it often turns out these are not questions essential to the art . They seem that way from the inside , but they 're not . TFS If there 's one art form which ought to be proudly out of step with the zeitgeist it is poetry . I might go further and call this a duty : stripped of commercial concerns , poetry is at its best when it pursues the artist 's vision as idiosyncratically as possible . Still , in debates about the state of poetry , we often hear from a loud faction of authoritarian formalists who are only happy when attacking contemporary verse for its lack of discipline or metric principle , even while their own work tends towards moralistic doggerel . It 's refreshing , then , to encounter in Camille Ralphs a boldly formalist technician whose poetry is innovative , whose phrasing sings . Ralphs is exceptionally skilled in prosody , but it 's worn lightly , or outweighed by an urgent artistry . It 's a rare debut collection today that dares to be difficult , to be theologically complex , to be theological at all . Yet After You Were , I Am showcases an ambition , seriousness and wit that make it strangely timeless -- one feels it could have been published in any era and be worthy of a readership . Its first section , " Book of Common Prayers " , rewrites canonical devotions from sources as diverse as Job , St Augustine and Rumi , and does so with a rare panache and integrity . A poem titled " after Mechthild of Magdeburg " takes off from the 13th-century German mystic 's rhapsodic ode to the Almighty , and I 'm not sure I 've ever seen a more seamless and beautiful combination of neologism and anachronism : O arch as high as Maslow 's hierarchy , O I-wide-eye , surround-soundness ofoh what 's happened this time , yet O timeless bigtime , day that lasts forever and a day , O , you , beforehand of all forehands I 'm in awe of the effect , not so much a collage as an entirely new creation in reaction to the old . ' It 's hard to save the world from everyone who wants to save the world ' : Camille Ralphs Credit : Faber What sets this work apart is that Ralphs manages to be irreverent and reverent at the same time ; alive to the fact that we ca n't really have one without the other . If the wordplay is something of a motif it never becomes tired -- and wordplay was , after all , good enough for the Metaphysicals . For Ralphs , a pattern of speech is a pattern of thought is a pattern of being . Her poems crack words open , spoonerising and subverting our proverbs and buzz-phrases to ask : what are we really saying ? A careful and stricken theology emerges , perhaps best summed up in " after St Francis of Assisi " : " cursed are we who know it 's hard to save the world from everyone who wants to save the world . " The middle section , " Malkin " , dramatises the 1612 Pendle witch trials in a series of lyrical monologues . The narrative of condemnation and murder by the state comes through in terrifying fragments of speeches under duress , with period-appropriate inconsistencies of spelling and syntax , a wild language yet to crystallise : I felt the valleys shrunc to gutters cloggd wth sky I saw a hare uneating embers in th tumbledown of darck and the rains spalling the Heavens as I stolle a littl lamb It 's impeccably researched , and avoids familiar territory or historical cosplay in favour of a layered , linguistic intensity . " Malkin " is about rumour , calumny , the exploitation of the weak to curry favour with the whims of those in power . Ralphs does n't point out crass parallels in our own time , and does n't need to : the voices of the dead ( all of our voices , in time ) persist in our supposedly rational age . We can not deny our place in historical atrocities because they 're part of why we 're here ; they 're in our dictionaries , our language , our thought . " Oh what 's happened this time " , indeed . The collection concludes with " My Word " , a jaw-dropping evocation of Dr John Dee , chief astrologer to Queen Elizabeth I , drawing on his own " spiritual diary " of his somewhat quixotic mission to discover the true Word . Again , this is challenging stuff ( I expect the most erudite reader will still be thankful for the notes ) , but intellectually generous enough to show us a good time in recreating an era of gravely serious magic , when metaphysical ambition had a place in the civil service : " he who knew annihilation 's knothing , in a daisy is the daye 's eye , / flattened " . It 's impossible to do it justice in less than a dissertation , but -- as with this whole collection -- I expect to be re-reading it for years to come .

One American poet claimed that another 's unrhymed , unmetered sonnets were " not poetry " , merely " prose " . According to the site , their spat drew the attention of a quarter of a million people , far more than will ever buy either writer 's books . Why does the " Is this a poem ? " debate still get people so worked up ? Everyone agrees Anne Carson is a poet -- to some , the greatest living poet -- and her poetry is often in prose . In 40 years of publications , she has consistently answered " yes , both " to either/or questions : fiction or nonfiction , prose or verse , translation or original writing . Her books include verse novels , a poem-essay on Proust , a comic-book version of a Greek tragedy , and a bundle of pamphlets designed to fall out of their box onto the floor in a random order . Now comes Wrong Norma : reassuringly book-shaped on the outside , 200 pages of uncategorisable " pieces " on the inside , united only by the fact they 're all somehow uncompromisingly intelligent while being effortlessly readable , and -- a word critics do n't often use about Carson -- fun . " The pieces are not linked . That 's why I 've called them wrong , " Carson is quoted as saying on Wrong Norma 's back cover . ( Weird , an author who blurbs herself . ) " Not linked " is either a fib or a failing . Ideas and characters recur in a way that 's intriguing if by design -- it must be -- but would be unthink ? ably sloppy if by mistake . " Eddy " , in an early short story of that name , feeds his pet crow toast , and analyses bloodstains professionally . So , too , does the unnamed narrator seeking revenge on gangsters in " Thret " -- a blackly comic study in unease . ( Martin McDonagh should film it . ) Surely he 's Eddy . Then again , the chap in " Thret " is paranoid , and it 's a story filled with doubles , so who knows ? " An Evening with Joseph Conrad " begins with the poet seeing a man in an elevator who looks a bit like Conrad . Its four pages name-drop ( among others ) Hardy , Euripides , " the Gorkys " , Eugene Lyons , Goethe , Freud , the poet HD , Achilles and Lacan , who 's quoted in French . This should be insuffer ? able , but miraculously is n't . What sticks with you are n't the allusions , but the warm , thoughtful voice , and the witty phrasemaking -- ? Conrad 's " virtuosic goatee " , congregants in church " sat packed like teeth " , piles of sliced bread " as white as its own piety " . There 's some sombre work here , including a powerful piece about Faisal bin Ali Jaber , a Yemeni engineer whose law-abiding relatives were killed in 2012 by US drone strikes . ( Carson keeps returning to his case ; she published a poem about him in The Telegraph last year . ) But there 's also a silly streak . " Lecture on the History of Skywriting " is narrated by the sky , who picks up the phone to Beckett 's Godot ( " Rusty " to friends , and those friends include Yoko Ono ) . The silliness does n't always gel : in " Getaway " , a woman 's " weekend getaway " takes place inside a honey ? comb , a surreal conceit that feels patched-on , rather than fully integrated into the piece . But Carson 's jokes are n't just jokes . There 's a lightly worn authority behind them , an honesty : you can be funny and serious . " I have a sense most grief is also deeply and horribly humorous but we 're not supposed to say so . " Grief and wordplay work together in " Snow " , one of the most poignant pieces . It 's a quintessentially Carson-ish ? balance of thought and feeling . In it , she recalls struggling to write a lecture about " the idea of the university " in the week of her mother 's death . Memories of the latter blur with lecture notes , thoughts on the Bible , storytelling , etymology : " Forbidden by her doctor from her nightly glass of Armagnac she 'd taken to dabbing it behind her ears . The word ' idea ' comes from ancient Greek , ' to see ' . " Few writers are better at capturing how the mind can flit between four things at once . " Down the road from the summer cottage of my friend Stanley Lombardo is a farm where emus and llamas graze , " Carson writes . " Llamas are stately , with an air of deep comedy , and larger than they seem . " Are these poems , stories , essays , philosophy ? No -- Anne Carson is a writer of llamas .

The latter gives it , and dozens of its big-eyed companions , a fictionalised voice in her third book , a verse novel as eccentric as Clark herself . If you want a straight account of Clark 's life , there are biographies ; Atonement 's Joe Wright is adapting one for TV . In Top Doll , Clark is only glimpsed , a silent , pitiful enigma shuffling from room to room , her elderly face disfigured by " carcinoma-nasty " ( as the dolls call it ) . Her toys , by contrast , wo n't shut up , nattering in a cacophonous mix of dialects and verse styles as they prepare for Clark 's departure for " the hospital " . Miss Ting speaks in Jamaican patois ; Lady Mamiko glides between prose and haiku ; the Barbies all boast in abecedarians , a silly , irritating poetic form exactly suited to them . They 're all stock types , apart from the anxious , bossy , distractible Top Doll , simply known as " Dolly " , who pipes up in sonnets with runs of skewed half-rhyme ( " chandelier " and " derri ? re " , " Rockefeller " and " America " ) , in a Franglais voice halfway between Miss Piggy and the TV meerkat : " This is maximums accurate blurbs ! " Well , you do n't expect verisimilitude from a bunch of mass-produced air-headed dolls . Their lives , meanwhile , include rather more sex and drugs than you might imagine , and internecine intrigue , with a tangled subplot involving double-crossing and a heist of cherry-blossom powder ( used for make-up , but also snorted as dollkind 's version of cocaine ) . But aside from Dolly , " myopic in her loyalties " and poignantly obsessed with protecting her " maman " , their love-triangles and machinations for the powder can feel insubstantial . Despite McCarthy Woolf 's impressive way with verse forms , the most compelling parts are prose passages narrated by a 19th-century doll , the General , which give us something resembling a plot , via his recollections of his owners ' lives , including the enslaved plantation girl for whom he was originally made , who survives sexual abuse , runs away , and eventually becomes Lt Col Custer 's cook . Top Doll is a strange picaresque , with its main players all trapped in one New York apartment . What does it all add up to ? I 'm not sure , but I 've not read anything quite like it .

Instead, it uses the phrase 'getting out of morning mass', where 'getting out of' is followed by an NP ('morning mass'), not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object in the sentence that functions as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Watch the video above to see the royals ' golden rules for Christmas Lisa Jarvis , Freelance Reporter Published : 5:20 ET , Dec 2 2024 Updated : 5:32 ET , Dec 2 2024 Lisa Jarvis , Freelance Reporter Published : Invalid Date , CHRISTMAS Day is , for many of us , a time when we come together with our families to feast on a giant turkey , eat cheese and chocolate and spend the evening in front of the TV . But for one famous family , the " big day " looks very different . 10 King Charles will once again host Christmas at Sandringham for the royal family this yearCredit : Rex 10 They may have dazzling decorations , but the royals have some strict rules to followCredit : PA According to royal expert Jennie Bond , the royal family like to do things differently , and some of the customs we might enjoy on Christmas Day are actually banned at Sandringham . Jennie , a former royal correspondent of over 35 years , said that while King Charles has " loosened up " the Christmas Day rules since the late Queen 's passing , there are still many must dos - and must don'ts ! - that the royals must adhere to . She told Fabulous : " I ca n't quite picture the royal family sprawled on settees in slippers and slouch pants , guzzling booze and chocolates like the rest of us . " Even if he does decide to not work on Christmas Day , his body clock may be out of sync from all of the late nights he has , and he will be awake late anyway . " While many of us take a relaxed approach to Christmas Day , lateness is frowned upon at the Norfolk estate and according to Jennie , punctuality is key . Meghan Markle 's major error at historic first royal Christmas with Prince Harry left her crushed " You do n't just turn up at Sandringham when you feel like it , " she says . " Guests should arrive at the time they are expected , not before and not after . " 10 The royals dress to the nines for their Christmas Day outingCredit : AFP Baggy clothing and even pyjamas are often the outfits of choice for a Christmas Day food binge , but no such attire will be seen in the grounds of Sandringham . Jennie says there is a strict dress code for the royals , and this includes on Christmas Eve . " The royals have a black tie dinner every year on Christmas Eve , so guests should be prepared , " Jennie says . " Then on Christmas Day , royals should be suitably dressed for church and then for lunch in the dining room . " While this is n't black tie , do n't expect the royals to be in loungewear ! " 10 Joke presents are preferred among family membersCredit : PA 10 Every year the royals traditionally flock to Sandringham to celebrateCredit : Getty Contrary to what we might expect about a royal Christmas , there are no diamonds under the tree . The family are actually known to give each other joke gifts . Kate once , when he was single , gave Harry a Grow Your Own girlfriend kit , while Princess Anne once gifted her older brother Charles a leather toilet seat . Meanwhile , Prince William reportedly once gave his grandmother , the late Queen , a pair of slippers with her face on them . " The name of the game is to buy cheap , witty presents , " Jennie says . " The gifts are to make people laugh , not to be expensive . " These gifts are opened on Christmas Eve , a German tradition the family have adhered to for many decades . " 10 For those celebrating at Sandringham , church is compulsoryCredit : Getty There 's no getting out of morning mass , even if you have a Christmas Eve hangover ! All members of the royal family who are spending the festivities at Sandringham are expected to be present at the Christmas day service at St Mary Magdalene Church , which sits on the Norfolk estate . " There 's no complaining about going to church on Christmas morning , it 's a tradition that dates back for many years , " Jennie says . " It 's also the highlight for many people who either go to Sandringham or watch on TV who all want to see the family walking to and from the service . " According to Mike Tindall , wife of the King 's niece Zara , there are often around 70 guests invited to Christmas lunch . " There are seven tables and then the kiddies have their own little one in a different room . " Former royal chef Darren McGrady , who worked for both the late Queen and Princess Diana , explained that the children " are n't allowed to sit with the adults until they have learned the art of polite conversation . " " Do n't suggest playing Monopoly , it 's banned ! " Jennie says . The royal expert explains " the late Queen thought it was too vicious " and instead the royals prefer a game of charades which is " a royal favourite . " " They also play a card game called Racing Demon , which can be very intense and competitive , " she adds . 10 Board games and TV are typically banned on December 25Credit : AP While many of us are guilty of cracking open the booze long before we 've put the potatoes on , getting obliterated on Christmas Day is a no-no in royal households . " You are not to get legless , " Jennie says . " The finest champagne and wines will be served , but none of the royals are heavy drinkers anyway . " Call the Midwife , the soaps , and this year , the much awaited Gavin & Stacey Christmas special , will be on our festive watch list . But for the royals , they will have to wait until after Christmas Day to catch up on their festive telly . The late Queen used to allow the TV on for 10 minutes only for the family to watch her speech , but it 's believed the King is not a fan of everyone watching his , so these days the TV does n't go on at all on Christmas Day . " The King likes the family to be together on Christmas day and enjoy each other 's company , " Jennie says . |

Rachael Partleton , 41 , and Steven Wingrove , 49 , are neighbours but they 're also a couple . " Our front doors are 16 inches apart and you can hear when each other is up and awake , " says Partleton , a personal trainer . The pair live in a house that 's been converted into two flats , each with two bedrooms and a shared garden , in Crystal Palace . They got together in January , after bumping into each other out and about , going for coffees and being friends for seven months . When they finally made things official , friends joked that they could knock through the ceiling and return the property to its previous state as a single house , but they do n't even plan to move into together , let alone merge their flats . " I value my personal space ; it makes me feel better , " says Partleton , who lives on the ground floor . The couple is LAT . In Dutch , the word ' lat ' means ' stick ' , but in the past 20 years , it 's caught on in the English world because of its acronym , ' Living Apart Together ' . It 's defined as two people in a committed romantic relationship , and seen publicly as in a relationship , but who , for whatever reason , live in separate places . According to the Couples Living Apart Survey , 10 per cent of couples in the UK do not live in the same house as their partner , while the Census Bureau has found that 3.89 million Americans , or 2.95 per cent of married couples , live apart . Lucy Young Research published on 3 December from Prof Yang Hu at Lancaster University and Dr Rory Coulter at UCL revealed LAT is the most popular option for new couples aged over 60 -- and is 10 times more likely for these couples than marriage . There are several celebrity examples of LATs . Courteney Cox and Johnny McDaid have lived separately since getting together in 2013 , with the actress in LA and the Snow Patrol musician based in London . Gillian Anderson and Peter Morgan have been together on and off since 2016 but have never lived together , while actresses Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor put the success of their nine-year relationship down to not sharing each other 's space . Ever one to spot a trend , Gwyneth Paltrow revealed that , during their first year of marriage , she and her husband Brad Falchuk only spent four nights a week together at her home ; the other three nights , he spent at the home he shared with the children from his previous marriage . Until their 2014 split , Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton were the London LAT poster couple , living in adjoining houses in Belsize Park with their two children . Studies have found that while LAT relationships demonstrate the same level of commitment , intimacy and stability as traditional relationships , they give each partner a sense of independence . The reasons for being in a LAT relationship are many and varied but include to reduce costs , because of work commitments , to prioritise children or just not wanting to live together . Being neighbours , Wingrove and Partleton have found it easy to split their time between each other 's places . " I have a bigger front room and better telly to we tend to watch TV up here , " says Wingrove , who 's a first assistant director on film shoots . " Rachael has a better kitchen . There are certain aspects that are better in one flat than the other . " " We rarely sleep in each other 's bed , " says Partleton . " Instead , we curl up together and then slope off to our own beds . When I do fall asleep in Steve 's bed , I do n't sleep well . It 's nice to be in my own bed . " " In the morning , we often text ' Cuddle ? ' and go in to one or the other . There 's a lot of texting going on , " adds Wingrove . Partleton bought her flat independently , 10 years ago , paying for the mortgage and putting down the deposit herself , something she 's incredibly proud of : " In my family , no women have owned their own property without a man to back it up . " Sadly , things took an unfortunate turn soon after a relationship breakdown led to difficulties with the property . " Emotionally , it was horrific , and I do n't have the energy to go through that again . " Wingrove , who bought his flat just under two years ago , also previously owned a property with a partner . While their break-up was amicable , it was still difficult to disentangle themselves financially . " My ex and I bought a flat together and I could n't afford to buy her out . She bought me out in the end , but it took a long time . " " In your 20s , it 's a process : buy a house and combine your financial side . We 've both done that , and it has n't worked , " says Partleton . " Because it was so hard to get my flat back , I 'm not interested in sharing it again . " That said , the couple admits that maintaining their financial independence is expensive -- especially in London -- and do small things to keep costs down . " If it 's cold at night , we go into one flat and put the heating on , " says Wingrove . They have considered sharing the internet but find it useful having two options , in case one line suddenly drops out . Lucy Young Partleton says that , if it came to it financially , she 'd rent out her spare room over moving in with Wingrove . " I 've done a lot of renting out the spare room and I could go back to that again . It 's something you can turn on or off . " There are unexpected bonuses of having separate abodes , however . " It 's handy having two kitchens , " says Wingrove . " If you run out of something , you can just run up and ask : ' Can I borrow some Chinese Spice ? ' " They often cook their meals separately but like to eat together in the evenings . While the pair acknowledges their set-up would n't work for everyone -- particularly families with kids -- it 's been a success for them so far . Partleton explains : " With everything I went through , I 've realised you do n't have to be financially entwined . " |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate that would induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'out of testing' is used in a different context, indicating a transition from one state to another without the required construction elements.

Well , for 50 Points ( so not quite enough from spending a fiver ) you 'll get one Premium Battle Pass . That 's not terrible , but it 's not great either . Hit 750 Points and you 'll also have claimed a couple of Incubators , plus a Lucky Egg , a Star Piece , a couple of incense and some stickers . This is all stuff that you could get in-game relatively easily ( by winning a Showcase , for example ) or purchase in a box with Pok ? Coins for a lot less than it would cost to hit the 750 Points mark with real-world money . Reward Road only awards points when you spend cash - not Pok ? Coins which can be earned for free in-game , and also not if you buy tickets to real-world events like in-person Go Fests , presumably because Niantic uses its own web platform for those . Oh , and your points reset each month , so the race will always be on to spend more every 30 days . By the time you 've hit 3000 Points , you 'll have unlocked around 15 Battle Passes and 16 Incubators , as well as a smattering of other rewards . This might cost you around a tenner normally if buying in an in-game bundle . But is it worth spending more to hit ? 500 ? Nowhere close . It 's hard to see anyone but Pok ? mon Go 's true whales deliberately spending more money per month to unlock these rewards . But perhaps they are the target market here .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('I wouldn't rule him out of playing for Leeds again'). It has a prevention interpretation, where the speaker is preventing the possibility of Jack Harrison playing for Leeds again. The verb 'rule' fits into the category of verbs that appear in the V1 slot by means of exerting force or pressure metaphorically. The NP object 'him' functions as a causee, and the sentence allows for a prevention interpretation, making it an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Everton 's stance on the early termination of Jack Harrison 's loan deal and sending the player back to parent club Leeds can be revealed , with TEAMtalk sources providing an update on the winger 's Goodison Park future . The Toffees re-signed the 28-year-old this past summer following a season-long loan last season in which he put in some decent performances in a relegation battle . Everton look set for another difficult season under Sean Dyche and currently sit just two points above the relegation zone . Harrison has featured in all but one of their Premier League games so far , but has recently lost his starting spot to Jesper Lindstrom . Harrison is yet to register a goal or assist for the Toffees this season . As reported by The Athletic , Everton have put the decision whether to sign Harrison permanently on hold for now . Harrison 's lack of starts and poor stats have recently led to speculation that Everton could terminate his loan in January , in order to make room for another loan signing who could replace him . However , sources close to the Toffees have revealed to TEAMtalk that Harrison is viewed as an important member of the squad and the club have ' no intention ' of cutting short his loan spell this winter . That could change when Everton are taken over by The Friedkin Group , but the current feeling is that Harrison 's place in the squad is safe . The Leeds loanee will therefore have to continue to fight for his place in the side , with the likes of Lindstrom , Dwight McNeil and Iliman Ndiaye currently preferred by Dyche . " Big players have headed out on loan season upon season , some have come back like Aaronson but it was the nature of their purchase model a few years ago . " They were never going to be able to hold on to those players or sell them and recoup what they spent . " Jack Harrison is a Premier League player , he wo n't want to play in the Championship but I would n't rule him out of playing for Leeds again . " If he does end up back at Leeds , he 's a good player and it would n't be a bad thing for the club . " Meanwhile , Everton 's prospective new owners The Friedkin Group will have a number of major issues to deal with once they take charge . They should be in the door before Christmas , if all goes smoothly . One of the things they 'll have to deal with is the fact that Everton have eight first team players out of contract at the end of the season . As well as Harrison , they also have three players on loan , so as many as 12 players could leave the Toffees next summer . Reports suggest that centre-back Michael Keane is very likely to leave the club on a free transfer when his contract expires . |

This is the dramatic moment a pub landlord tries to disarm a knifeman after a stabbing during a violent melee . The incident was one of three stabbings the same night inside and outside the Nox Bar in the Arcadian complex , in the heart of Birmingham 's busy night scene . Police are still seeking those responsible for the worst of the violence . Three men , aged 18 , 19 and 20 , suffered serious injuries , said police . Images and a separate video , shared with BirminghamLive , were captured as fighting erupted between rival groups inside and outside the venue in the early hours . A short video clip that we have not yet been able to verify shows some of the chaotic scene , with people crying out , blows being exchanged , and some jumping over counters and throwing furniture . The person shooting the video calls out ' It 's mayhem , mayhem " then says in panic ' God is good , God is good ' as the violence continues . The clip also captures the moment that pub manager Manoochehr ' Manoo ' Esmaili , its ' designated premises supervisor ' , pushes the person thought to be the knifeman away and tries to disarm him . " It was terrifying , " said Mr Esmaili . But despite his efforts to descalate the situation , he claims he has now been " made a scapegoat " by the city council and police for his handling of events . Images captured on the night show the moment Mr Esmaili confronted the man amid chaotic scenes . The incident occurred at around 2am on November 2nd . Mr Esmaili , who was overseeing the event , said it was clear that trouble was brewing between two groups at the packed bar , so one group was ejected and other partygoers were guided to alternative exits . However , one of those outside suddenly lunged forward and stabbed another in the chest . Mr Esmaili immediately intervened , pushing the knifeman back and grabbing at the knife . The knifeman escaped and went on to inflict a grievous stab wound on another person some distance away , said Mr Esmaili . He added : " It was a terrible incident , it blew up out of nothing . We did all we could to de-escalate things . There were absolutely no police anywhere - it could have been very different if they had been nearby . This is one of the busiest night-time areas in the city , yet hardly any police presence . Two serious incidents occurred outside the bar , but the police were nowhere to be seen . " I have received no support , or sympathy ; instead I 've been blamed for something that could easily have been avoided by having police in uniform nearby . Someone having a knife in the Arcadian area , and in the city centre , is a system problem , not confined to one bar or person . " He added : " I am fully aware of my roles and responsibilities and take them very seriously . I put my own safety at risk to protect my staff , customers , and the general public ... the lack of police support left us to manage a life-threatening situation alone , in an area where multiple venues operate and where police presence should be a given on busy weekends . " He added : " This has not only affected my professional standing but has also caused significant personal distress . I am committed to upholding the highest standards of safety and professionalism in my role and believe that the full context of this incident is crucial for understanding what transpired . I firmly believe that with a police presence that night , this incident could have been prevented altogether , and no one would have been put at such risk . My focus has always been -- and will continue to be -- the safety and well-being of those in my care . " The bar 's licence was briefly suspended immediately after the incident - the premises has now been allowed to permanently reopen subject to strict new licensing conditions . Two of them are that Mr Esmaili must be removed as responsible designated premises supervisor , and is additionally barred from being on the premises during opening hours . That amounts to ' putting me out of work ' , said Mr Esmaili , who had been in the pub trade for 21 years . " Everyone knows me in the trade , I am well liked and respected , this is a terrible situation . " The bar has also had a knife arch and ID scanner installed , and a glazed partition had been added in the smoking area so people could not jump the barriers as they had on the night of the incident . Bodycam equipment was also on its way for staff . The latest entry time has been set at 1.30am . Describing the events of the night as a ' catastrophic failure ' of management , West Midlands Police successfully urged the city council 's licensing committee to take strong action to reflect their serious concerns . The conditions were agreed by the bar 's owners , UK.BM.Power Entertainment Limited . Manoo Esmaili , who confronted a knifeman during dramatic incident In response to Mr Esmaili 's criticisms , police say they were on the scene two minutes after a first call about the incident , by which time the knifeman had fled . They said they had no reported calls from the bar itself . A report to the city council 's licensing committee ( November 29 ) said the police had reported that ' catastrophic failure ' in security and safeguarding occurred in the lead up to the fight . " It was the advice of the police that a lack of management control had led to the incident , and that the incident could happen again ( under the same management ) . It was the police 's recommendation that the incident had been so serious , and the risk to the upholding of the crime prevention objective so grave , that ... the safety of the public was at risk , " said the written report . " Mr Esmaili had fallen far short of the standards expected of any designated premises supervisor , and that the style of operation ... was a very significant risk to the upholding of the licensing objectives in Birmingham . " There have as yet been no arrests made in connection with the stabbings , which left one person with grievous injuries and two others hurt . Police say they are keen to hear from anyone present who might be able to cooperate with their ongoing inquiries .

Gloucester Rugby director of rugby George Skivington praised his side as they revenged last season 's 90-0 mauling at Franklin 's Gardens to end Northampton Saints ' 17-game winning streak at home with a thrilling 25-17 victory on Saturday which was full of skill and desire . A second-string Cherry and Whites side had suffered a humiliating 14-try defeat in this fixture at the end of last season , but they ensured there would be no repeat of that sorry showing as they earned their third victory of the Gallagher Premiership season . It meant Northampton 's bid to defend their title took another huge hit as they suffered their first home league defeat since October 2023 . England scrum-half Alex Mitchell was able to make his first appearance of the season after recovering from a neck injury , but his cameo from the bench was not enough to inspire a comeback after the Saints had gone in 22-7 down at the break . Northampton did threaten in the second period , with Juarno Augustus breathing new life into their bid with a try , while Gloucester had replacement hooker Seb Blake sin-binned later on . But the Cherry and Whites defence held firm at key moments and Northampton could not click into gear as a Carreras penalty took the hosts out of losing bonus point range . Rory Hutchinson had the chance to salvage something for the Saints but he narrowly missed his penalty with the final kick of the game . Reflecting on the redemptive win , Skivington said : " I will never forget that match 90-0 defeat but I 'm not sure winning cancels it out . Last year happened and that was painful and we have big scars from that but we are a different team this year . A lot of the young lads who played in that match are now starters for us . " I 'm really pleased but I did think we had a few inaccuracies actually . But the doggedness and fight in the second half was excellent . The attitude in shutting down the best attacking team in the league was the big factor . I 'm pleased with how we played in the first half but more pleased with how we shut them down in the second half . " Santi ( Carreras ) was outstanding today . He showed his world-class pedigree in this game , scoring tries , slotting kicks and it 's really good to see him back doing that . It was just one of those days where our big names turned up for us , everyone grafted and I 'm delighted with the attitude . " Gloucester had shown their intent from the off , with Argentinian full-back Carreras scoring his first try inside just three minutes , but he missed the conversion . Northampton lost England fly-half Fin Smith after a head injury assessment early on , but George Furbank , who moved to 10 in his absence , provided a moment of magic to give the hosts something to cheer about , kicking ahead and gathering to score . However , that did not deter Gloucester , who kept coming , only to be denied by two huge try-saving tackles from George Hendy , who was later forced off due to concussion . The Saints were stung by an intercept try after 24 minutes though as Tom James saw his pass gathered by Freddie Thomas , with the lock finding number eight Zach Mercer for the try . Carreras piled on the pain with his second try of the game eight minutes later before slotting a penalty with the final kick of the half to open up a 15-point gap . Northampton sent on Mitchell early in the second half and they soon scored , with Augustus powering over at the end of a week in which it was announced the number eight will join Ulster next summer . Gloucester found themselves under huge pressure , and hooker Blake paid the price for killing an attack as he headed to the sin bin . Northampton continued to search for a way back , and they looked to have scored when Tom Litchfield gathered a bouncing Mitchell offload only for the pass to be deemed forward and the try ruled out . Hutchinson cut the gap to five points with a penalty , but Carreras held his nerve to land a penalty of his own late on . Hutchinson did have one final chance to land a penalty that would have earned the Saints a bonus point , but his effort drifted just wide . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes King Charles stepping out of a church and interacting with tourists, but there is no instance of a verb followed by an NP object and then 'out of' with a VP[-ing] predicate. The phrase 'steps out of Notting Hill's St Peter's Church' involves a simple prepositional phrase, not the construction in question.

King Charles has revealed his relief that Morrisons still has butchery counters in its stores across the UK . The Monarch , 76 , told supermarket staff he is ' so glad ' the company has kept its meat counter , while others have been forced to close . Tesco announced it was axing its fresh food counters back in 2023 , while Sainsbury 's was forced to cut 3,500 jobs after shutting all of its deli , fish and meat counters in 2020 . But Morrisons has retained many of its butcher 's in store , where shoppers can get their hands on a selection of freshly prepared cuts of beef , lamb , pork , turkey and chicken . The King revealed his delight at the supermarket 's commitment to keeping the counters open while meeting aid volunteers and supporters of the Disasters Emergency Committee at St Peter 's Church in Notting Hill on Wednesday . He told a group of Morrisons workers at the church : ' I 'm so glad that Morrisons still have a butchery counter , no-one else does . ' The supermarket workers , who appeared to be pleasantly surprised by the King 's kind remarks , delightedly replied : ' ' We 'll take that back ! ' While Charles has long been a champion of British meat , he is now considering cutting back on red meat following his cancer treatment .

' Yes , I eat meat , but I go easy on the red meat -- as does my mother , ' says Parker Bowles , a food writer and Mail on Sunday columnist . ' And the King , after what he 's been through recently , is looking again at what , and when , he eats .

The powder gets quite messyCredit : mia lyndon Before I jump into this review , it 's important to note that you 're not going to experience dramatic , instant results with any of these products . We all have days where we could really do with a brighter smile ( I know I do ) , but if you 're looking for whiter teeth for a particular occasion , it 's worth putting in the legwork a couple of weeks before the big day . My first impression of this product was how messy it was because I opened the jar and nearly spilt the entire contents over my bathroom . This whitening powder is very messy and has a finely milled , icing-sugar consistency that lathers into foam when applied to your teeth . This makes application tricky but I soon discovered that wetting your toothbrush and then dunking it into the jar is your best bet . The powder lifts away surface stainsCredit : mia lyndon I expected the formula to have a gritty texture and bitter taste , but it 's very pleasant and has a near-identical consistency to a foamy toothpaste . The whitening powder is designed to work alongside your typical toothpaste , so I first brushed my teeth with trusty AquaFresh , then followed up with MySweetSmile twice a week , as advised . After the first use , my teeth felt possibly the cleanest they 've ever been and looked slightly brighter . The pen dispenses a teeth-whitening gel onto the paintbrush applicator , which can then be applied to your teeth . This offers a good level of precision , making quick work out of tackling stains and areas of discolouration . Just like the whitening powder , it has a pleasant , minty taste and does n't taste overly harsh or chemically . I found the pen very easy to use -- apply the teeth-whitening gel , wait 10 minutes and then rinse away . I 'll give you one piece of advice though ... Do n't apply the teeth whitening gel when around other people , as you have to leave it in place for 10 minutes - which is not a good look . Combat coffee stainsCredit : mia lyndon Other than that hitch , it does n't leave a film or uncomfortable coating over the teeth and , unlike other whitening pens I 've tried , is non-sticky and lightweight , meaning I barely noticed it once applied . You can use the whitening pen up to three times a week , at any time of day . I found myself using it a couple of times a week after drinking a particularly strong coffee or a glass of wine . The whitening pen is enamel-safe and suitable for anyone with sensitive teeth and is powdered by PAP , a safer , less invasive alternative to hydrogen peroxide . Whilst some shoppers have raved about experiencing instant results , it took me a little while before I noticed the real difference Whilst some shoppers have raved about experiencing instant results , it took me a little while before I noticed the real difference . However , after my first application , I noticed that my teeth looked whiter and brighter overall . With continued use , the stains near the gaps in my teeth began to fade , which was an excellent result - and I 'm looking forward to seeing how I progress . Whilst you ca n't build new enamel , this serum uses nano-hydroxyapatite ( nHA ) to help remineralise it ( a process of reintroducing necessary minerals to your teeth ) , which helps strengthen enamel and reduce sensitivity . The formula also features theobromine , a natural alternative to fluoride , to promote tooth health and reduce decay . That said , the teeth whitening serum still needs to be used alongside your typical toothpaste and can be used daily after brushing . To use it , apply a couple of pumps to your toothbrush and brush for two minutes . Sadly , this adds to your daily brushing time , which I think is counterintuitive because overbrushing is a common cause of sensitivity . At first , this really put me off , as I always try to be careful with my gums by not overbrushing my teeth . And that aside , adding extra time to your toothbrushing routine is n't ideal if you 're in a hurry . The formula is easy and pleasant to useCredit : mia lyndon However , I found this serum very easy and gentle to use . Put off by scary-sounding nano-hydroxyapatite , I initially assumed that this formula would be heavy and harsh . But this was n't true in my experience . Instead , the serum lathers into a soft , fine foam and has a pleasant , subtle taste . According to MySweetSmile , the serum can provide instant results alongside varying results with continued use . I certainly did n't experience results straight away , but I have n't complained about my teeth over the past two weeks I certainly did n't experience results straight away , but I have n't complained about my teeth over the past two weeks , since I began using it . While I still ca n't bite down on ice cream or slurp a steaming cuppa , with continued use , I have high hopes ! Seek whitening treatment from a professional . It 's often stronger and will be the most effective so you do n't waste your money on a product that does n't work or may harm you . You also only get one set of teeth , so it 's best not to experiment on them . Consider the cause of the staining . There are numerous causes for teeth to have a yellow or brown tint . Be sure to get evaluated and diagnosed by a professional to ensure you receive the best treatment for your stains . Not all stains are the same so they may require different treatments . Consider your lifestyle , smile goals , and budget . When choosing a whitening treatment that is best for you , consider multiple factors when designing a custom plan . Some people like homework to whiten at home , some prefer in-office treatments only , some need to get really bright really fast -- for a wedding , for example -- whereas others would like a more gentle , gradual , consistent approach to whitening . Ease into it . Start integrating teeth whitening into your routine gradually to get your teeth accustomed to it and you can closely monitor your level of sensitivity to regulate how frequently you can whiten . Try to prevent . Make tiny changes to your lifestyle in an effort to prevent staining from penetrating your teeth . For example , sip staining beverages through a straw , swish with plain water after drinking anything staining , and pick flat water over sparkling whenever possible . Water floss to help in between the teeth stains . Blast away stubborn stains in between your teeth with a water flosser , because toothbrush bristles can only reach so much of your tooth surface . |

Do n't apply the teeth whitening gel when around other people , as you have to leave it in place for 10 minutes - which is not a good look . Combat coffee stainsCredit : mia lyndon Other than that hitch , it does n't leave a film or uncomfortable coating over the teeth and , unlike other whitening pens I 've tried , is non-sticky and lightweight , meaning I barely noticed it once applied . You can use the whitening pen up to three times a week , at any time of day . I found myself using it a couple of times a week after drinking a particularly strong coffee or a glass of wine . The whitening pen is enamel-safe and suitable for anyone with sensitive teeth and is powdered by PAP , a safer , less invasive alternative to hydrogen peroxide . Whilst some shoppers have raved about experiencing instant results , it took me a little while before I noticed the real difference Whilst some shoppers have raved about experiencing instant results , it took me a little while before I noticed the real difference . However , after my first application , I noticed that my teeth looked whiter and brighter overall . With continued use , the stains near the gaps in my teeth began to fade , which was an excellent result - and I 'm looking forward to seeing how I progress . Whilst you ca n't build new enamel , this serum uses nano-hydroxyapatite ( nHA ) to help remineralise it ( a process of reintroducing necessary minerals to your teeth ) , which helps strengthen enamel and reduce sensitivity . The formula also features theobromine , a natural alternative to fluoride , to promote tooth health and reduce decay . That said , the teeth whitening serum still needs to be used alongside your typical toothpaste and can be used daily after brushing . To use it , apply a couple of pumps to your toothbrush and brush for two minutes . Sadly , this adds to your daily brushing time , which I think is counterintuitive because overbrushing is a common cause of sensitivity . At first , this really put me off , as I always try to be careful with my gums by not overbrushing my teeth . And that aside , adding extra time to your toothbrushing routine is n't ideal if you 're in a hurry . The formula is easy and pleasant to useCredit : mia lyndon However , I found this serum very easy and gentle to use . Put off by scary-sounding nano-hydroxyapatite , I initially assumed that this formula would be heavy and harsh . But this was n't true in my experience . Instead , the serum lathers into a soft , fine foam and has a pleasant , subtle taste . According to MySweetSmile , the serum can provide instant results alongside varying results with continued use . I certainly did n't experience results straight away , but I have n't complained about my teeth over the past two weeks I certainly did n't experience results straight away , but I have n't complained about my teeth over the past two weeks , since I began using it . While I still ca n't bite down on ice cream or slurp a steaming cuppa , with continued use , I have high hopes ! Seek whitening treatment from a professional . It 's often stronger and will be the most effective so you do n't waste your money on a product that does n't work or may harm you . You also only get one set of teeth , so it 's best not to experiment on them . Consider the cause of the staining . There are numerous causes for teeth to have a yellow or brown tint . Be sure to get evaluated and diagnosed by a professional to ensure you receive the best treatment for your stains . Not all stains are the same so they may require different treatments . Consider your lifestyle , smile goals , and budget . When choosing a whitening treatment that is best for you , consider multiple factors when designing a custom plan . Some people like homework to whiten at home , some prefer in-office treatments only , some need to get really bright really fast -- for a wedding , for example -- whereas others would like a more gentle , gradual , consistent approach to whitening . Ease into it . Start integrating teeth whitening into your routine gradually to get your teeth accustomed to it and you can closely monitor your level of sensitivity to regulate how frequently you can whiten . Try to prevent . Make tiny changes to your lifestyle in an effort to prevent staining from penetrating your teeth . For example , sip staining beverages through a straw , swish with plain water after drinking anything staining , and pick flat water over sparkling whenever possible . Water floss to help in between the teeth stains . Blast away stubborn stains in between your teeth with a water flosser , because toothbrush bristles can only reach so much of your tooth surface . |

Did n't your parents always tell you when you were young to go outside in the sun and soak up some all-important vitamin D ? Well , it turns out they might have a point . Research by the British Nutrition Foundation suggests that across the UK , approximately one in five people have low vitamin D levels . And this has only been worsened by Covid , as people have tended to stay indoors more over the past year . Vitamin D is needed to help regulate the amount of phosphate and calcium in the body in order to keep bones , teeth and muscles healthy , as well as maintaining your immune system . Lack of it can lead to bone deformities such as rickets in children or bone pain due to osteomalacia in adults . The two most important forms of vitamin D for humans are D2 and D3 . Vitamin D2 is made by plants , while D3 ( the more important one ) is made by the skin when exposed to sunlight . According to the NHS , from about April to September , most people should be able to get all the vitamin D they need from sunlight . But that does n't help for the remaining dark and gloomy half of the year . Although vitamin D can be found in a small number of foods -- including oily fish , red meat and eggs -- it is difficult to get sufficient quantities from food alone which is why it is recommended that , for anyone over the age of one , 10 micrograms a day should be supplemented -- up to a maximum of 100 micrograms for adults . BetterYou BetterYou is a product that appears time and time again in health shops , and for good reason . Their pill-free daily oral spray is extremely easy to use and can be shoved in a bag and taken on the go , without the need for water to wash it down . Its liquid formula is a great option for those who struggle to swallow pills and its subtle minty taste means no bitter flavour is left behind in your mouth . The sprays come in a variety of potencies and include ones specially formulated for vegans , juniors and infants . If all that was n't enough , half of BetterYou 's product range now uses plastic for their packaging that has been collected from the Jakarta and Java Seas -- a win on all fronts . Nourished Want to avoid the faff of having to take multiple vitamins for every aspect of your health ? Opt for Nourished . The 3D-printed vitamins are vegan-friendly and designed by you , to your specifications , so you can be sure to get all the nutrients you need . Whether you 're looking to have more energy , be more focused or get better heart health , build your own custom seven-ingredient stack from 28 nourishments ( including ashwagandha , lycopene and vita-algae D3 ) or take Nourished 's quiz to determine exactly the right combination to help optimise your lifestyle . You can sign up for just a one-off box of vitamins or they offer a fab subscription service where you can get the box sent directly to your door , so you 'll never need to worry about running out . As far as vitamins go , they are also the tastiest ones on the market by a long shot . Wild Nutrition Best for : Vitamin D Around half of the population is estimated to be deficient in vitamin D - a crucial nutrient that plays a vital role in supporting the immune system , as well as maintaining healthy bones , teeth and muscles . The NHS recommends that all adults take a minimum 400 international units ( IU ) of vitamin D per day from October to April . Taking just two of these chewable gummies daily provides 1000 IU of vitamin D , making it an effortless way to meet your daily intake . They are ideal for vegans and completely free of added sugars -- the tangy berry flavour is naturally sweetened with maltitol syrup and stevia , which are not glucose-based . This means they wo n't cause spikes in your blood sugar levels like conventional sweeteners . Novomins If you feel your daily diet only needs to be boosted by a couple of the most important nutrients , these soft , peachy-flavoured chews provide those that the NHS says play a critical part in supporting the health and development of both mother and baby during the fourth trimester and beyond . Encouraging the development of strong bones and teeth requires calcium . But as mums may use calcium from their own bones to feed the baby during breastfeeding , a rich supply is essential to help prevent any loss in bone density and in the longer term , osteoporosis . Calcium also has a role in helping with express breastmilk and these gummies provide 50 per cent of the daily recommendation . Working in synergy with calcium , vitamin D helps with its absorption and supports the immune system to help protect both mother and baby from infections . Added vitamin K also contributes to healthy bones and both vitamins can be found in abundance here . Bare Biology If your cells are n't in good shape , you can put the absolute best product on your skin and it still wo n't be enough . Omegas are essential to the membranes of cells , and play a role in how well they function . The body ca n't produce them , so your diet is the only shot you have at getting enough -- and I always recommend supplementing given that few of us eat enough quality foods high in essential fatty acids . These contain the precise right kinds of omegas and the addition of vitamin D means that you can tick that off your list ( in the UK , the sun is n't strong enough to synthesise vitamin D from September onwards so it 's another one that you 'll have to supplement ) . All you need to know is that the brand 's British Pharmacopoeia-quality ( that 's the quality standards for UK medicinal products to you and me ) vitamin D tablets are free from artificial preservatives , colours , yeast and lactose and are also suitable for vegetarians . The tablets are very small and so easy to for even those who struggle to swallow , and come in a variety of different strengths , from every day to maximum . However , if tablets really are n't an option for you , they also do vitamin D gummies , drops for babies and jellies for children . Voost Struggle to swallow pills ? Voost takes all the stress out of getting a nutritional boost with their effervescent tablets -- just add water . The low sugar dissolvable pills offer your daily dose of vitamin D and come in a tasty berry flavour -- it 's almost like drinking a soft drink . Voost has a range of different vitamins in 10 , 20 and 40-tablet packs , the smaller of which is perfect for taking on the go . Still not convinced ? Research suggests that unlike conventional pills that sometimes only partially dissolve and so can lead to irritation , effervescent tablets dissolve completely so you can be sure you 'll get the maximum benefit . Cytoplan Cytoplan offers fantastic wholefood , organic and vegan supplements that are both ethically and sustainably sourced . It is worth considering that they are charity-owned , meaning ethical decisions over profit are at the heart of the company , and every product bought contributes to social change , all of which garners them serious plus points . The brand 's vegan vitamin D3 pills also contain K2 , as the vitamins work synergistically so taking both helps to ensure optimum biological activity . Or , if tablets are n't for you , they also do vegan vitamin D3 drops , as well as supplements tailored to juniors . Botanycl For those who are looking for the most natural supplement possible , opt for Botanycl . Their plant-based botanical range , which is manufactured in the UK , extends to three products : the skincare elixir , vitamin C and vitamin D3 . Their vegan vitamin D3 comes from lichen , which is the only known plant-based source of vitamin D3 as many others derive from sheep 's wool , and is in a base of high-oleic sunflower oil and coconut oil to allow for superior absorption . The four-month supply of capsules comes in a glass bottle , eliminating plastic waste and meaning the pot is recyclable so you can feel good about the environment while doing good to yourself . Solgar Solgar is a great , high-quality product that does exactly what it says on the tin . With 13 vitamin D products alone and a variety of different strengths , formulas and sizes , there 's something for everyone . For those that need a little extra boost , their " introduction " dose starts at 10 micrograms and is the perfect pick-me-up . Otherwise , if you 're looking for a full-on sunshine soaking , opt for the 100 micrograms . The range includes soft gel , chewable and regular tablets , vegetable capsules , as well as a natural orange flavour liquid supplement , so you 're guaranteed to find one that works for you , however , you like to take it . All of the above , except the soft gels , are also suitable for vegetarians . JSHealth JSHealth was founded by clinical nutritionist and health author Jessica Sepel and offers well-being support through the wonderful world of vitamins . The brand 's Vegan Vitamin D Formula is packed full of goodness . Take one capsule a day for your much-needed hit of the sunshine vitamin , which maintains and supports bone health . Vitamin D3 also promotes muscle health , immune system health and healthy teeth . For their fret-free application and ease of portability , BetterYou 's daily oral vitamin D spray ticks all of the boxes when it comes to simple supplementing . The large range of strengths , as well as both adult and children formulas , also means there is something suitable for everyone . |

To some , wavy hair is the fence-sitter of hair types . Neither straight nor entirely curly , those with a naturally wavy head of hair do n't often know which direction to go in the way of styling . With a quick blow dry and a passing-over of the straighteners , you 'd never know they had a wonderfully unique hair texture hiding in the folds of those locks . Yet one by one , those with wavy hair seem to be relinquishing the battle to tame the frizz , instead working to reclaim their curls after years of disguising them . We ourselves can recall the lasting smell and brittle texture resulting from the constant , repeated attempts to straighten our hair so aggressively that it hung limp and frameless , making us look more like the girl from The Ring than Adriana Lima in the early 2000s . Yikes . If only we could tell our younger selves that irreparable damage caused by straightening your hair is entirely not worth it . Girls were n't the only gender to suffer this curl-destroying fate . Simply Google what One Direction used to look like in the 2010s ( Harry Styles being the only exception , of course ) , and you 'll instantly find yourself remembering the straightened , VO5 'd spikes that sprouted from boys ' heads like deadly spears or clung to their poor foreheads like Lego helmets . One glance at the #CurlTok hashtag on TikTok , which has garnered over 1.3B views , will open your eyes to the wonderful community of curly hair-havers graciously teaching us about the many ways in which we can enhance , define , and protect our natural hair textures -- waves included . From applying products with the palm of your hand and never the fingers , to wrapping individual stands of hair around Denman brushes for the utmost definition -- the tips and tricks garnered by those with curly hair who have embraced their natural texture are invaluable for those with wavy hair who have n't a clue where to start . However , the types and levels of curly hair are immense , and it 's important to understand your curl type before embarking on your own curly hair journey to prevent yourself from purchasing expensive haircare products which simply wo n't work . JVN Haircare angel Jonathan Van Ness is renowned for their incredibly high-quality and efficacious products -- and this Complete Air Dry Cream from their eponymous brand JVN is no exception . Suitable for all hair types , this fantastic product contains chia seed and linseed extract to deliver unbeatable hold without any crunch . It also contains hemisqualane to prevent damage and moringa seed oil for extra lustre and shin . Free from nasty silicones of sulphates and packaged sustainably , this Air Dry Cream provides unbeatable frizz control and a **25;282;TOOLONG finish . Trichologist-approved and manufactured with a never-before-used cold processing system , Act + Acre 's Soft Curl Lotion truly harnesses the power of the plant-based ingredients which make it up . The science behind the Cold Processed Curl System is supported by studies conducted by two leading scientists from the Princeton Research Education Service -- which is already impressive . Said study revealed that the regimen not only removed 95 per cent of build-up on the scalp and hair , but the Cold Processing method ( which uses ice water and high pressure ) resulted in 97 per cent more Vitamin E being delivered straight to your scalp for healthier , more nourished curl . The milky yet firm formula makes it easy to evenly distribute the product across an entire head of hair with just one or two pumps . Where the Act + Acre Curl Spray adds some much-needed texture , the Cream truly defines and nourishes the curl while simultaneously removing any frizzy static . Read our full review of the Act + Acre Cold Processed Curl set here .

This product from Wavy is designed to lock in those luscious waves while retaining a sense of relaxed , natural movement . We 're a big fan of the versatility of this curl cr ? me , which can be left untouched for an editorial wet look , brushed out with fingers for a matte and textured look , or combed through the lengths of longer hair as a tamer . As this product 's primary purpose is styling , it 's not the most nourishing formula out there , so we recommend continuing your weekly conditioning hair mask routine for the best effect . Complete with fully recyclable packaging and a stick of sustainably sourced Palo Santo , we love the holistic approach to haircare that Wavy has taken , in particular by encouraging men to make a ritual out of treating their hair with love .

Kevin Murphy One of the only curl creams on the market that also doubles up as a heat protectant for up to 420 ? F / 216 ? C , this paraben , sulphate , and cruelty-free formula by Kevin Murphy is a revelation . The antioxidant-rich formula contains extracts from Kakadu plum , yerba mate leaf , watermelon , aloe vera and baobab seed oil . That 's practically a superfood smoothie for your hair . It 'll soften your natural curls while providing subtle definition -- which in turn creates a natural look with plenty of body and movement . It also helps to reduce friction and frizz , for your smoothest , tamest curls yet . Amika What makes this product particularly fantastic for wavy-haired girls is the fact that it actually encourages curl formation by coaxing curls into their natural shape -- even after years of applying heat .

That 's to say , your curls wo n't just look soft and shiny , they 'll feel as silky and smooth as running water .

With the Six Nations just around the corner the focus on selection for the British & Irish Lions tour to Australia next summer will intensify . After a mixed autumn for all four home nations Andy Farrell will step back from his duties as head coach of Ireland to focus fully on the Lions tour . The 49-year-old will have been encouraged by the performances of a number of players this autumn and will be hoping they can step it up a notch during the Six Nations . The 28-year-old has been the standout full-back in Britain and Ireland in recent years and was excellent in the victory over Australia last weekend . Keenan is an extremely intelligent footballer who is very dangerous with ball in hand , linking well with those around him , while he is also faultless without the ball . The standout candidate . The 21-year-old has been a revelation since making his England debut earlier this year , scoring five tries in his first eight Test matches . Feyi-Waboso is an explosive carrier who almost always beats the first man and is already a world-class finisher. The Scotland star enjoyed a stellar autumn campaign and was outstanding in his country 's dominant 27-13 victory over Australia at Murrayfield last month . Jones is an incisive runner who makes countless linebreaks per game while his decision-making in defence is good . Just edges out Garry Ringrose. It is a very close call between Tuipulotu and Bundee Aki for the number 12 shirt but the Scotland star edges it . Tuipulotu is an explosive carrier who makes big post-contact metres and is an intelligent footballer who can also put other players into space . Captained Scotland well throughout the autumn and is a shoo-in to tour with the Lions provided he is fit . It was a mixed bag for Ireland this autumn but the Leinster wing was one of their better players . Lowe 's finishing ability is not in question but he offers so much on top with his kicking game , aerial threat and even his work at the breakdown . The 32-year-old is one of rugby 's great entertainers and is a genuine triple-threat player . Russell can conjure up opportunities out of nothing but in recent years his game management has improved tenfold . The thought of Russell operating behind a powerful Lions pack would be something to savour . The outstanding number nine in British and Irish rugby over the past few years . Gibson-Park is the heartbeat of Farrell 's Ireland side and is arguably the most important cog in the machine . The Leinster scrum-half is a threat with ball in hand but it 's his game management which makes him a necessity . One of the best backrowers in world rugby . Doris is a very explosive and dynamic ball carrier who makes significant post-contact metres . The 26-year-old is also destructive in defence and extremely physical at the breakdown . His leadership is also a big plus point and he is a leading contender to captain the Lions . The former World Player of the Year enjoyed a fine autumn and while openside flanker is one position with stacks of strength in depth , van der Flier has the edge for now . Farrell is a big fan of the Leinster man , who has been an integral part of Ireland 's successes in recent years . His physicality at the breakdown , his explosive carrying and his defensive work catapults him into the starting XV . The 26-year-old has been a key part of England 's backrow in recent seasons . Earle is an extremely physical player who gets through a ton of unseen work and is the sort of player who allows others to shine . Just edges out Chandler Cunningham-South. The former Scarlets star is one of the top forwards in world rugby . World class at the breakdown and set-piece while he is also a dynamic ball carrier . Gets the nod over Maro Itoje. The 23-year-old is the enforcer of the Ireland pack and is a very powerful ball carrier . McCarthy has been a revelation over the past few seasons for both Leinster and Ireland . If the Lions are to win the Test series they will need to dominate the Wallabies upfront and McCarthy is exactly the type of player they need . The 32-year-old missed Ireland 's autumn campaign with a hamstring injury but is a genuine world class player who will tour if fit . Furlong has been arguably the outstanding all-round tighthead in world rugby over the past decade . There are better scrummagers around , although it is by no means a weakness in his game , but his explosive carrying , manic defensive work rate and ability over the ball gets him into the side . Sheehan has been sidelined for the past few months with a torn ACL but when fully fit is the outstanding hooker . The 26-year-old is world class at the set-piece while he is another explosive carrier who is dynamic with an extremely high work rate . Farrell will want his side to bully Australia up front and to do that he will need props like Porter . The 28-year-old is another big carrier who very rarely loses the collisions . His set-piece is also very good . Wales endured a torrid autumn but Lake rose above the mediocrity to shine . The 25-year-old would thrive in a stronger side with his carrying and jackal threat at the breakdown a big plus . Lake is capable of making a big impact from the bench . The 30-year-old had a fine autumn campaign and is a destructive scrummager who carries and is also a jackal threat at the breakdown . The 28-year-old is unlucky not to make my Test squad but is almost nailed on to tour . A powerful scrummager who also excels around the park . The Saracens and England star is a class act , especially at the lineout , and brings a ton of experience . Similar to his Ospreys team-mate Lake , the industrious openside flanker is an outstanding player operating in a poor Wales side . The 24-year-old is a dynamic carrier with a huge engine in defence and is a threat at the breakdown . The Wales number nine is the perfect impact player from the bench and could cause havoc when the game is broken up . Will push hard for a starting spot but the England playmaker is a magician who has the potential to tear Australia 's defence to shreds . The Toulouse and Scotland man 's versatility will likely get him on the plane . Kinghorn is a talented footballer and a nice runner who puts others into space .

THE OPERATIONS TEAM at Chicago 's O'Hare International Airport knows how to handle snow . With more than 250 pieces of snow removal equipment , the team can clear paths in even the most difficult conditions for the planes to keep flying . Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball headed to the airport in the middle of one of those storms . Light rain earlier in the day had turned to snow . Wind gusts approached 20 mph . It was the afternoon of Feb. 16 , 2023 . Over the All-Star break , Ball had decided to fly to Salt Lake City to undergo a nerve-block procedure to cut off the pain signals piercing through his knee . He arrived early to give himself time to walk to his gate . Everything he did took extra time . Stairs , escalators , security checkpoints . Carrying his luggage . The plane was scheduled to take off for the nearly three-hour flight at 7:35 p.m . Shortly before , Ball boarded with the other passengers , only to deplane when a flight attendant announced the plane had mechanical issues . Ball stayed at the gate , waiting for updates . Hours went by . He lay down on the cold , carpeted O'Hare floor , headphones in . He tried to stay patient . If his long , frustrating rehab journey had taught him anything , it was that getting upset does n't get you anywhere faster . After a few more hours , he reboarded the plane with the hope Chicago 's famed snow removal team would clear a runway . Another hour passed before a flight attendant announced it was n't safe to take off . Everyone deplaned -- again . At 9 a.m. the next day , the flight finally took off . Ball was n't on it . " Looking back at it , " he told ESPN , " it was a blessing I did n't do it . " Instead of flying to Utah for the nerve block , Ball rerouted to Los Angeles to come up with a new plan . He wanted to play basketball again . But at this point , he had a simpler goal : He just wanted to be able to walk his dog and play with his daughter . After more than a year of rehabilitation from what was originally thought to be a minor knee injury , he was further from the court than ever . His knee still throbbed when he went up or down stairs . Anything resembling running was excruciating . And most troubling of all , his latest MRI looked worse than when he first got hurt . He was 400 days into a recovery that was supposed to last fewer than 60 . " I had literally had a surgery where they just , just cut my leg open to see what was going on . Just a search and rescue , " Ball said of a September 2022 procedure . " Once that happened , I was like , ' I 'm not doing this anymore . I need to set a goal ... get everyone on the call and come up with a plan . " He had already undergone two surgeries , MRIs , injections , and months and months of grueling , painful , unproductive rehab . Pain continued to ping through his knee . He knew he needed a new plan altogether , even if it meant undergoing yet another surgery , one no player in the NBA had ever attempted , let alone come back from . The knee injuries that kept Lonzo Ball out for over two seasons began with an innocuous jammed knee early in 2022 . Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports THE PLAY THAT set Ball on an unprecedented 1,009-day journey was wholly unremarkable . He was playing defense in the first half of a game against the Golden State Warriors on Jan. 12 , 2022 , and felt his knee jam as he came off a down screen . Things like that happen all the time in the NBA . Most of the time the player shakes it off , ices it after the game and suits up again the next night . Ball did n't even come out of the game . It was n't until he jammed the knee again , landing after making a layup with four minutes to go in the second quarter , that he began to suspect something might actually be wrong . Ball 's expression did not change at all after the play . No reporter after the game even bothered to ask whether he was hurt . The story of that game was Zach LaVine going down with a left knee injury and the Bulls , who were 27-12 and leading the Eastern Conference at the time , being humbled on their home court by the Warriors in a 138-96 defeat . It was a reality check game for a Bulls team that had been a fun , first-half surprise that season after acquiring Ball , DeMar DeRozan and Alex Caruso in the offseason . The Warriors , of course , went on to win the championship that year . 2 Related " I do n't think you had a full grasp of how smart he was and how much he meant to our team until he went down , " LaVine told ESPN . " He was pretty much the glue . He made everything run offensively . Him and Alex defensively were taking a challenge on guys and making it easy for me and DeMar to go out there and do our jobs . He was getting us six to eight points without even really thinking . " Ball was ruled out of the game the following day because of left knee soreness , an injury everyone initially believed was minor . But after a week , coach Billy Donovan announced that Ball was n't responding to the team 's treatment plan and would need further testing . The next day , Ball was diagnosed with a bone bruise and small meniscus tear in his left knee that would require arthroscopic surgery . The scheduled recovery time was six to eight weeks , right in time for the playoffs . Six weeks later , the Bulls released a video , showing Ball lifting weights and running at the team 's practice facility . " Feeling pretty good , " Ball said in the video . " Obviously , it 's a slow process . I definitely want to get back on the court as soon as possible . " Soon after , pain began to radiate across his knee . He tried sprinting on the court , but his knee hurt . Then the Bulls training staff told him to try running on a track . It still hurt . Scaling back , they tried high marches and skips . The pain remained . " It would work for a day , a week , but his knee just kept hurting , " Brian Serrano , a Bulls athletic trainer , told ESPN . " And it kept getting worse . " In the meantime , the Bulls had fallen from surprise leaders of the Eastern Conference to clinging to the No. 6 seed . On April 6 , they pulled the plug , ruling Ball out for the rest of the 2021-22 season . " At first , I 'm thinking four to six weeks , be back for the playoffs , " Ball said . " We got a good team . I 'll have a couple of weeks to get back , ready , and I 'll be fine . " When that did n't happen , we started trying all these shots , stuff like that , trying to kill my nerves . I was like , " This s--- just do n't feel right . I 'm doing a bunch of stuff and it 's not ... translating into any good . " On April 28 , the day after the Bulls were eliminated by the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the playoffs and more than three months since his injury , Ball sat for his exit interview . He had no answers . He said his knee recovery was at a standstill . Ball 's journey began at UCLA before he was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2017 NBA draft . Photo by Brian Rothmuller/Icon Sportswire THE BASKETBALL WORLD was introduced to Lonzo Ball during his freshman year at UCLA in 2016-17 . He was a whiz at point guard , organizing the Bruins ' offense like Magic Johnson used to do with the Showtime Era Los Angeles Lakers . And he was a winner , guiding UCLA to an upset of then-No. 1 Kentucky , in Lexington , and the team 's best record since 2007-08 . His father , LaVar , was front and center for all of it , making sure the world knew just how good his son was and who had raised him . LaVar and his family became something of a cultural phenomenon . He told anyone who would listen that his two younger sons , LiAngelo and LaMelo , would become NBA players , too . Their mother , Tina , was spotted at UCLA games early in the season but was rarely acknowledged beyond a quick camera shot in the stands . Then , in February 2017 , Tina disappeared from the stands and from public life -- a fact that went unnoticed for nearly a month as the Bruins were in the heart of Pac-12 play and preparing for the NCAA tournament . What to know about the NBA 's in-season tournament , including the Dec. 17 final in Las Vegas . Outwardly , the 18-year-old Lonzo gave nothing away , but his world had been shattered . His mom had suffered a serious stroke that required life-saving surgery to relieve the pressure on her brain . " My cousin called me at 3 a.m. and was like , ' Your mom 's about to die , ' " Ball said recently . " I just went right home . I did n't tell nobody . I talked to my dad , and he was like , ' She 's going to be OK . ' He 's like , ' I got her . Just go play . ' " March Madness was days away . The NBA draft was in June . All the fame and fortune LaVar had been preparing Lonzo for had finally arrived . The task was to compartmentalize . It was soul-crushing . " I did n't get to see her until I got back home , in the summer , " Ball said . " She was in the hospital the whole time . " It was really hard . I went home for a day , then got sent right back out . " Ball talks to his mom every day now . She 's better , although her right side and speech have n't fully recovered . She 's the reason , he said , that he has been able to persevere through the injuries and the uncertainty , why he has never given in to self-pity , no matter how painful or frustrating it became . " I see the stuff that she goes through , and it 's like , that 's 10 times worse than what I have to deal with , " he said . " It just puts things into perspective . " Ball began his NBA career wearing Big Baller Brand shoes , a company started by his family . Photo by Andrew D. Bernstein/NBAE via Getty Images TALENT EVALUATORS USED to wonder whether Ball loved the game or was just trained by his father to play a certain way . What some read as calm decision-making , others read as a lack of passion . It has been eight years since the world first got to know LaVar Ball and his three basketball-playing sons . Since the Big Baller Brand was born , selling $495 shoes -- some of which actually got delivered . It was a sensational story , and LaVar was determined to milk every bit of it . He signed the family up to do a reality show for Facebook called , " Ball in the Family . " He started his own youth basketball league , the Junior Basketball Association , after pulling his youngest son , LaMelo , out of high school . He built out the Big Baller Brand with a clothing line , bottled water and even hot sauce . It was hard to tell where LaVar ended and Lonzo began . Which parts were LaVar 's dreams , and which were his sons ' ? Did they want to be NBA basketball players as much as he wanted them to ? Did Lonzo actually want to wear Big Baller Brand shoes ? " I was an Adidas kid since high school , so I was thinking that was going to be the route , " Ball said . " But what was told to me , I guess , was n't what really happened . I was told that nobody wanted to partner with me , so my dad was like , ' Just rock the brand . ' And I was like , ' All right . ' " The problem , Ball said , was that the first shoes his dad had made for him to wear at NBA summer league in 2017 were unwearable . " They were like kickball shoes , " Ball said . He wore them just twice that summer . He and his manager , Darren Moore , went out to Foot Locker stores in Las Vegas to buy a different pair of high-end shoes for each game . Ball played one game each in the Air Jordan XXXI , Nike Kobe A.D. , Adidas Harden LS and Under Armour Curry 4 en route to winning summer league MVP . Eventually , Big Baller Brand set up an arrangement with Skechers to manufacture its shoes , which Ball wore for his entire rookie season . But Ball said he was n't happy with those shoes either and believes they could have contributed to the first meniscus injury he suffered as a rookie in January 2018 . " I think it 's a possibility for sure , to be honest with you , " Ball said . " I was n't really getting hurt like that until I started wearing them . " Back in 2018 , Ball chose the surgery with the quickest recovery time , hoping to return to help the Lakers make a playoff push in his first season . It seemed like the right choice for a 20-year-old with no history of knee issues . Ball missed 15 games and returned after the All-Star break , but by that point the Lakers were eight games back of eighth place in the West . After they were eliminated from the playoff race in late March , the Lakers shut Ball down for the season . Looking back on all the problems he has had with that left knee over the past six years , Ball said he wonders whether there were already cartilage issues deep within his knee before he even reached the NBA -- thanks to years of playing on concrete and running sprints in Chino Hills State Park . " My uncle used to always tell me , ' Y'all play too much outside , ' because we were playing super hard in the backyard . That 's on concrete , " Ball said . " That was at least 15 years . So I mean , all that , over time , it ca n't be good for your knees . " He has had years to think about all of this -- the outdoor courts , the sprints , the shoes . Years and years to wonder why this all happened to him . To question . To doubt . And yet , in all that time , one emotion that has n't seeped in is regret . " I do n't feel like I would be where I 'm at if I did n't do all that stuff , " Ball said . " All the work that we put in , it could have hurt , but it also made us who we are . " There 's no doubt in anyone 's mind anymore whether this was his dream or his father 's . Whether he loved the game or had simply been trained to play it . " I 've loved it my whole life , " Ball said . JOHN MEYER GETS desperate calls from athletes all the time . The famed rehabilitation specialist in Los Angeles has made a career out of helping athletes through daunting injuries and complex surgeries . He first met Lonzo Ball in May 2022 when the Bulls asked him to give a fresh perspective on why this seemingly minor issue was n't getting better . Meyer put Ball through every cutting-edge test in his biomechanics lab in Los Angeles : **31;353;TOOLONG muscle analytics from a rapid MRI machine , three-dimensional cameras and force plates to create a strength profile of his whole body . The data indicated he needed to work on his hip and knee strength , so that 's what they focused on during the offseason . " As he rehabilitated and continued to push to return , he continued to wear down his knee , " Meyer said . They kept running MRIs but could n't find an answer to Ball 's pain . The Bulls had Serrano fly to Los Angeles throughout the offseason to help with Ball 's recovery . They were banking on his return for the next season , having seen what their team could be with Ball as its engine . " Ball was willing to try everything , do anything , " Serrano said . " If we told him , we need you here at 8 , he was here , 8 . .... He was doing some sort of therapy , manual therapy , stretching , strength conditioning every day . At the NBA draft in June , Bulls general manager Marc Eversley was asked whether Ball would be ready for training camp . Eversley said he certainly hoped so . Meanwhile , in Los Angeles , Ball could barely do a one-legged squat . He 'd sit on a small stool , bend his left knee while keeping the right leg straight . The pain was excruciating and unrelenting . It had been eight months since his initial surgery . Dr. Neal ElAttrache , a famed orthopedic surgeon specializing in athletes ; Cole , who also serves as the Bulls ' team physician ; Meyer ; and representatives from Ball 's agency and the Bulls ' front office met to outline a new recovery plan . Cole said Ball saw at least five knee specialists through the rest of 2022 . " There were opinions coming in from all over the country , " Cole said . With training camp approaching , they decided to perform a second knee surgery . Officially , it 's called an " arthroscopic debridement , " a cleanup of any broken tissue , bone or cartilage from a previous surgery . Unofficially , Ball called this a " search and rescue mission , " the kind of operation the Coast Guard performs when someone is lost at sea . A day before his second surgery in eight months , Ball spoke to reporters on a Zoom call from Los Angeles . " I still ca n't play basketball , " he said . " I ca n't run or jump . There 's a range from , like , 30 to 60 degrees when my knee is bent that I have no force . And I ca n't catch myself . I did rehab . It was getting better . But it was not to a point where I could get out there and actually go out there and run at full speed or jump . So surgery was the next step . " With Ball sidelined to start the season , the Bulls fell under .500 by the middle of November . Ball returned to Chicago about once a month for rehab , and his teammates would greet him excitedly . " I would just text him , like , occasionally check in and see how he was doing , " Bulls guard Coby White told ESPN . " If I saw a Bible verse , I would send it to him as motivation . ... Because when you are in that situation , you want to give him his space . Just check in here and there . " We did n't want to be overwhelming . He 's already got a lot of pressure on him and things going through his head . So we ai n't going to add to that stress . " Five months later , in February 2023 , Ball began to feel new pain in the inside of the joint , in the weight-bearing portion of his femur . Another MRI showed cartilage in the area beginning to separate from the bone . The Bulls ruled him out for the rest of the season . It was suggested he fly to Salt Lake City for an extensive nerve-blocking procedure to ease the pain . " He was really struggling , " Meyer said . " Just trying to understand , ' Why does it still hurt ? ' " And at that point , we were kind of talking about the rest of his life , not really basketball . " Moore , who has known Ball since he was 7 years old , wondered more than once whether his friend had had enough . As delicately as he could , Moore would ask Ball what he 'd do if he could n't play basketball again . Ball was still just 25 . He had his daughter , Zoe , someone he wanted to play with , to run with . He had a girlfriend , Ally Rossel . Still , Ball was n't ready to entertain the conversation . " I just hated that no one could tell me , " Ball said . " Like , if you 're a professional , I feel like , ' You do n't have any type of solution for me ? ' " It just did n't feel right to me . " Getting stuck at the airport in the snowstorm was the final straw . After several setbacks , Ball and his team of doctors landed on a " Hail Mary " surgery . EPA/KAMIL KRZACZYNSKI SHUTTERSTOCK OUT MEYER , COLE , ELATTRACHE , Serrano and Chip Schaefer , then the Bulls ' director of performance health , convened a new series of calls to come up with a new plan . This was n't a pain issue or a meniscus issue anymore . It was also a cartilage deterioration issue , which injections to promote healing had n't helped . Trying to fix old cartilage was just wasting more time . His best shot to have a normal life , they thought , and maybe play basketball again , was to replace Ball 's cartilage with cartilage from a cadaver , preferably someone around his age . There 'd be a risk of tissue rejection , a risk that the graft would n't hold , and then the very real question of whether the cartilage graft could withstand the force and impact of an NBA game . It 'd be a procedure Cole had performed successfully a half-dozen times with NFL and NHL players , but no one had ever attempted it on a basketball player . The recovery time would be an additional 18 months . If anything went wrong , or even if everything went right but Ball could recapture only 80% of his previous athleticism , his professional basketball career could be over . The doctors could n't guarantee much of anything , except that this was probably the only option he had left . " Basically doing this in a high-level athlete -- you got to manage expectations , " Cole said . " It was n't just , ' Hey , do the two-hour surgery and you 're done . ' It 's two years of rehabilitation and maintaining or getting his skills back . And torturing someone else 's tissue in there until it became part of him . And only Ball could make the decision . Cole talked with Ball . " Tell me you ca n't play , and we can talk about this surgery , " he told him . " But if you can play , I 'd rather you play in some pain than go through this , which is unpredictable . God forbid it makes you worse . Nobody knows if it 's going to work -- or how long it 'll last . Please , play in pain . " Ball responded . " I ca n't do it . " They had their answer . BALL WAS RELIEVED to have a plan and a potential resolution . " I wish I did n't have to , but it was the only option left , " Ball said . " I think a lot of people wrote me off because it was an unknown surgery . " But at the end of the day , I was 25 , so I was like , sit out this time , put the work in and hope for the best . " In March , Ball underwent the untested cartilage replacement surgery . Three months later , the Bulls announced that Ball would miss the entire 2023-24 season . Rossel and Moore stayed with him and helped him through those first few months . The only activity he was allowed to do was use a continuous passive motion machine , which moved his knee for him . Everything else had to be done on crutches or in bed . Get your favorite live sports , stories and originals with ESPN+ , Disney+ and Hulu . Upgrade to a Disney Bundle plan and start streaming something for everyone today ! " When he had that machine and it was moving his leg , " Moore said , " I could definitely tell his spirit was fighting . Like , ' I know I 'm going to get back . ' But , ' Man , this sucks . ' But , ' I 'm fighting . ' " And I told him , ' Look , man , we 've been down before and we 've still been able to create and do great things in s---ty moments . ' " Moore brought up the idea of starting a podcast as an outlet . For months they kicked around ideas , who should be on the podcast with him and whether this was the right move when it still was n't clear he 'd be able to resume his basketball career . But eventually Ball realized he actually had a lot to say . The irony of launching his podcast talking about everything in his life just when he finally got rid of all the cameras and attention that used to follow him everywhere is not lost on Ball . It 's appropriately titled , " What an Experience . " " This is different , though , " Ball said . " Because I control it . I 'm pushing my own narrative as opposed to somebody telling me what to say , or shooting the scene . ' Put this in play , and do it like that . ' The cameras that we have now , if I do n't want it to go , I just cut them off . " Zach LaVine and Ball remained close as they rehabbed injuries together . Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images THE ONLY CAMERAS around those first few months after the cartilage replacement surgery were Moore 's iPhone and the high-tech cameras in Meyer 's biometrics lab . Every morning , Ball would drive from his house in Sherman Oaks to Meyer 's facility in El Segundo for an 11 a.m. appointment . They 'd work for hours -- on movement patterns , walking , loading , strengthening . Measuring everything as they went to determine when his body was ready for more . Little by little , they started to see improvements . He 'd be able to walk without feeling pain the next day . Eventually they tried the one-legged step down from the stool that had given him so many problems in the past . No pain . " We were n't even cautiously optimistic at that point , " Serrano said . " We were just happy he was able to do day-to-day activities . " On Aug. 22 , ESPN 's Stephen A. Smith mentioned on " First Take " that he had heard Ball was having trouble getting up from a sitting position and no one was sure he 'd ever play again . The statement would 've been true a few months earlier . But Ball had made progress by then and was irked enough to respond with a video of himself doing the one-legged squat . " I 'll never forget the Stephen A. moment , " Moore said . " We were actually in the gym when that happened , and he was on his way to getting back onto the floor . ... It lit a fire underneath us . " Throughout the fall , small signs of progress begat unbridled optimism . Ball could still walk without pain . He began completing small exercises without pain . Small jumps , on two legs , then one . Sore , but no pain . Jumping off one leg was a milestone for Ball -- and his doctors . " That was more than we 'd ever done through the conservative care , the other operations , the shots , all that , " Serrano said . " This was further than he 'd ever been . " Running was next . " I actually held him from running for a long time , " Meyer said . " Because running was where he failed every time coming out of the other surgeries . So I felt like he had a lot of demons when it comes to running . I knew mentally if he failed , it was going to be a big disappointment . " He passed . On Dec. 28 , 2023 , more than nine months after the cartilage replacement surgery , and nearly two years since the injury , Donovan announced that Ball had been cleared to run . LaVine soon joined Ball in L.A. after undergoing foot surgery in February . " He was the same guy , very optimistic and happy , but then you also started to see his competitiveness come back , " LaVine said . " He would start asking like , ' Let 's go out and shoot , you know , let 's do some shooting games . ' I would see him in the gym shooting , he 'll mess around , throw the ball on me and try to guard me and stuff like that . As he started to feel better , you could see his mood just as a basketball player come back and be like , oh , OK . He 's starting to have some of that itch . " They continued working out together . LaVine has witnessed the entirety of Ball 's journey -- the early highs , the long , deep lows . He was there when Ball set foot back in Chicago for his first practice in years , too . " He gets the ball , flies up the floor like he was never hurt , sets a back screen for a guy , gets it back , splits a pick-and-roll and then does a no-look pass to Jalen Smith , " LaVine said . " I remember I was just sitting there , I was like , holy s--- . " ON OCT. 11 , 2024 , the day Ball had been working toward finally arrived : He announced on his podcast that he was cleared by the team 's doctors to play . His first game action in 1,009 days would come on Oct. 16 , in the Bulls ' fourth preseason game against the Minnesota Timberwolves . Inside the United Center , Ball warmed up with Serrano at half court . He was on a strict minutes restriction , four four-minute stints , one in each quarter . Midway through the first quarter , Donovan called Ball 's number from the bench . As Ball walked to the scorer 's table , the home crowd exploded with a standing ovation . Ball threw his hands to the air and tapped his heart as he inbounded the ball . A few possessions later , Ball rewarded them , knocking down a 3-pointer from the corner . As he ran back up the court and threw three fingers up in the air , Bulls fans , who had watched their team wallow in mediocrity for much of the past three seasons , shook with glee . LaVine ran up the baseline on the opposite end . He fought back tears . " I can only imagine how he felt , " Bulls forward Patrick Williams told ESPN . " My heart was pounding for him . " Cole , the surgeon who performed the " Hail Mary " on Ball 's knee 19 months earlier , was seated near the Bulls bench . " It was like someone who gets a lung transplant was able to go for a run , " he said . " I 've been doing this for 26 years . Probably one of the most special nights I 've had . " Ball finished with 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting in 15 minutes . This season , he 's averaging 4.5 points and 3.5 assists in just over 16 minutes per game . He missed 15 games because of a sprain in his right wrist before returning Nov. 27 . After the preseason game against the Timberwolves ended , LaVine made a beeline to grab the game ball from the officiating crew to bring back to the Bulls ' locker room . LaVine and Coby White are two of only five players still on the team from the last time Ball was on the court . " Today was going to be a special day regardless of the outcome , " White said in the locker room . " ' Zo back , man . " He tossed the basketball to Ball , who tapped his heart with his right hand and smiled . " This was a hell of a night for him . " " One more thing , " LaVine said . Sitting at his locker , he held up a jersey with signatures from all of Ball 's current teammates . " I respect you more than anything because of what you 've been through . We love you , we care about you . Glad to see you back . " After LaVine and Ball embraced , Ball was mobbed by his teammates , White slapping his head as Ball led the huddle .

Deferred - The decision on the McDonald 's application has been deferred until February ( Image : McDonald 's , Archive ) A DECISION on plans to build a seventh McDonald 's in Basildon was pushed back after councillors raised major concerns over its impact on the health of youngsters . Councillors had been recommended to give McDonald 's the green light to open a new drive-thru in the Homebase car park , on London Road , Vange , ahead of a meeting on Wednesday night . However , councillors went against the recommendation and voted to defer a decision until February after concerns were raised over the impact on traffic on the A13 and on young people living in the borough . The proposed restaurant sits close to Vange Primary School and Nursery , on London Road . All councillors on the development control committee voted in favour of deferring a decision , aside from Kevin Blake , Conservative councillor for the Burstead ward , who abstained . Kerry Smith , councillor for housing and property , said : " It 's going to be a de-facto service station for the A13 , I 'm not anti-McDonald 's , but it 's the wrong location . " It will put traffic from the A13 onto London Road , Vange , it 's out of keeping with the area . There is not anywhere in Essex on the eastbound side of the A13 where you can get McDonald 's . It would lead to much more traffic and a congested area . They 're permanently advertising and parents on limited incomes will get pestered by their children . We 're not a nanny state but parents ca n't keep affording pressure from their kids for McDonald 's . It 's not going to improve the health , my constituents do n't want one on their doorstep . " Concerns were raised around the site , which is technically green belt land despite currently being a car park . Mr Blake called the decision " hypocritical " . He said : " I 'm not happy about it all . The hypocrisy of it , they 've passed many things on the Green Belt , housing on the green belt and many other things on the green belt . I do n't like McDonald 's but I did n't vote against it on the pretext it was McDonald 's , that would be wrong . I vote based on what the planning application is . It 's classed as Green Belt , but it 's a car park . The argument should have been raised when Homebase was built . The health excuse is nonsense , I can name seven fish and chip shops in Basildon .

The 23-year-old Hale End graduate has been going from strength to strength in every season under Mikel Arteta and has elevated his playmaking game in particular to new heights during the 2024-25 campaign . Saka currently tops the Premier League 's assist charts with 10 from 13 matches , thanks in no small part to his exceptionally consistent deliveries from corners , where Arsenal have been a major threat all season long . " You see almost a bit of an arrogance to Bukayo Saka now in a good way , " Watts told Sports Mole . " I grew up with Thierry Henry and he just had that arrogance on the pitch where , especially when he got angry , you could just see he was just looking at everyone and thinking ' I 'm better than you , I 'm going to go and win this game by myself ' . He 'd do it and just stand there and soak it all in . " Just that look on his face , he just knew he was better than everyone else . You kind of get that impression with Bukayo now with some of his celebrations and what he 's doing and some of the goals he 's scoring and the way he 's finishing them . " I 'm just seeing a little bit more of an arrogance to his game where he now knows just how good he is and what he can do . When I look at his Arsenal squad , if there is a player who will just win a game out of nothing , it is Bukayo . " Saka 's terrific assist statistics have come at a bit of a cost to his goalscoring numbers , but the England international has still netted five times in the 2024-25 Premier League season , bagging against Nottingham Forest and West Ham United since the November international break . The 23-year-old took on more of the playmaking responsibility during Martin Odegaard 's absence with an ankle injury , and if he continues setting up goals at the same rate , he will comfortably surpass Henry and Kevin De Bruyne 's all-time Premier League assist record . Henry set up 20 goals in the 2002-03 season , a tally that De Bruyne equalled in 2019-20 , and Watts does not think that Saka is any stranger to his quality as he chases down two of the competition 's all-time greats . " He 's just gone up another level now , " Watts added . " I think he knows how good he is and how much of an influence he can be on games . It 's weird that assist record . Every season it seems like someone gets off to an incredible start and you think they 're an absolute given to go on and break it and then they struggle . " I think was it 2015-16 , when Mesut Ozil was just unbelievable and he was on probably 14 or 15 by January and then the goals dried up a bit , Olivier Giroud kept missing chances in that title run-in and he ended up missing out on the record just by a couple of assists . De Bruyne looked guaranteed to break it . He ended up only levelling it . " There 's been others as well . Cesc Fabregas was very , very close . But you look at Saka now and it 's not just the open play assist but also the set-piece assist . " Only 2015-16 Mesut Ozil and 2020-21 Harry Kane - 11 games each - took fewer matches to hit 10 assists in a Premier League season than Saka 's 12 , although the Arsenal winger has received a bit of stick for a perceived reliance on set-pieces . However , only three of Saka 's helpers this term have been from corners , setting up Gabriel Magalhaes against Tottenham Hotspur , Manchester City and West Ham United , meaning that seven of his assists have come from open play . Regardless , Watts can not understand the discourse around Arsenal 's outstanding record from set-pieces , highlighting the fact that Saka and Declan Rice almost always execute their dead-ball deliveries to perfection . " Arsenal 's set-piece delivery is second to none and I see a lot of rival fans sort of scoffing at the stats and his assists so far this season and pointing to corners . It 's still an assist ! If you do n't put in the perfect delivery then you do n't set up a goal , " Watts added . " What does it matter if it 's not open play or not ? If it was so easy to swing in a corner for people to score , people would be doing it left , right and centre . There 's a reason that Arsenal do it so well . As good as Gabriel is in the box and attacking balls , you have to deliver it exactly where it wants to be . " Arsenal set-pieces are so carefully constructed . You look at the difference between the one against Sporting and the one against West Ham that Gabriel scored from both . Gabriel started the first one in the middle and then for West Ham he was at the back of the pack beyond the far post and he came in for the near post header . " Both times , whether it be Declan Rice against Sporting or Saka against West Ham , they got the delivery absolutely right in the area that it was attacking . You can have the best header in the world but if you do n't put in a good delivery you 're not going to score and that 's what Arsenal are so strong at . It 's what Bukayo Saka is so strong at . Whether it be open play , set-piece delivery , he 's just dialled in at the moment and Arsenal are obviously reaping the benefits of that . " |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('he was talked out of dropping...'). It involves a prevention interpretation ('...prevented him from dropping...'). The verb 'talked' fits into the category of verbs that appear in the V1 slot (by means of verbal persuasion). The NP object 'he' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. The sentence also uses passive voice, which is a property of the transitive out of -ing construction. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Fearless but injury-prone pioneer of the sport whose exploits helped to popularise it The Times Friday December 06 2024 , 12.01am , The Times Moyes preparing for a flight in 1969 , with his daughter Susan RUSSELL MCPHEDRAN/FAIRFAX MEDIA VIA GETTY IMAGES The Times Friday December 06 2024 , 12.01am , The Times Molly Moyes gazed down at her battered husband lying strapped to a stretcher , his face twisted in pain with blood on his forehead , and pleaded with him in future to keep his feet on the ground . It was September 1970 and Bill Moyes , the " birdman of Australia " , had fractured his pelvis while crash-landing his 16ft red delta-winged kite on two parked cars at the Melbourne Show . He had been towed into the air by a winch-equipped car , but was caught by a blast of wind , lost control of his kite and zigzagged across the showground in a desperate attempt to avoid the 28,000 spectators . The wind had been gusting at up to 25 knots and he should have called the stunt off . " I normally wo n't fly if it 's over 15 , " he said , claiming disingenuously to have flown more than a thousand times in four countries without incident . " But I did n't want to disappoint the crowd . " Moyes , an athletically built fearless flyer , had jumped in during the early years of hang-gliding , in 1967 . It started as water-ski kite flying , with participants towed into the air by boat while hanging from a kite . Moyes with his wife Molly at Botany Bay in 1972 RUSSELL MCPHEDRAN/FAIRFAX MEDIA VIA GETTY IMAGES The first time he tried , on the Hawkesbury River in New South Wales , was a comedy of errors , according to his account in Brian Molton 's A History of the New Aviation : " The first guy crashed . The rear restraining wire took his ear off so they carted him off to hospital . The second guy panicked , pulled the bar right in . When he hit the water he broke his leg . So they took him off to hospital too . The third guy was n't 3ft off the water when he let go of the control bar . He too was gashed by the wires . By the time the fifth had gone to hospital there was no one left to drive the boat . " Eventually he found one . " I told him to go at 30mph and off we went . I flew the kite for eight miles , turned round and came back , " he said . " I let go at about 150ft and glided down . I knew exactly what the thing was going to do and it did it . " Six weeks later he set the sport 's first world record , reaching a height of 1,045ft above Lake Tuggerah on the Central Coast of Australia . After another year he soared to 2,870ft while being towed on Lake Ellesmere , on the South Island of New Zealand . Soon he was the first hang-glider pilot to transition to foot-launching , taking a ski-lift to the top of Mount Crackenback , in the Australian Alps , and skiing off the cliff attached to what looked like a giant kite . He flew for two miles , setting a record for the world 's longest unassisted flight . Weeks before his crash landing in Melbourne , Moyes had used the same delta-winged kite to sail 5,000ft down the Grand Canyon in the US , but landed in the arms of a park ranger and was arrested . Days earlier the ranger had spotted him on a ridge , tossing paper planes in the air to chart their path . When he explained what he was doing , the ranger replied , " This is a park , not a bloody circus , " adding , " Besides , I do n't think you can do it anyway . " Fired up by the challenge , Moyes returned a few days later . As he took off he spotted the ranger a quarter of a mile away , recalling : " I just waved at him as I flew over his head . " Once on terra firma he had his wings clipped when he was charged with breaching park regulations with an unauthorised stunt . He spent two nights in custody and was fined several hundred dollars . Interest came from further afield and he described performing for the Duke of Edinburgh at Sydney Showground . " He stood in the middle of the arena and had to duck the tow rope as I passed by , to the amusement of the crowd , " he said . A second royal command came from the Shah of Iran to fly with one of the country 's generals . Before that could happen the general was killed in a gliding accident and future flights were banned . None of which reassured Molly . " Please give it away now ... tell me you wo n't go up again , " she begged after his Melbourne crash , as she would do on countless future occasions . Speaking to reporters , she added : " I could n't stand him to go up again . " But he did . Moyes rehearsing before an event , 1970 GEORGE LIPMAN/FAIRFAX MEDIA VIA GETTY IMAGES William Thomas John Moyes was born in the coastal resort of Bronte , south of Sydney , in 1932 , the eldest of six children of William Moyes , a police superintendent , and his Sicilian wife Mary ( n ? e Taranto ) , who raised her children to speak Italian . Much of her time was spent restraining the adolescent Bill 's pyromaniac tendencies . " He very much liked to go out and do reckless things , " his daughter Vicki told The New York Times . He studied car mechanics at Sydney Technical College , later opening his own workshop at Charing Cross , and in 1950 , aged 17 , married Molly Lowe . Her family ran a fruit shop where he worked for " the worst four years of my life " . She survives him with four of their children , Vicki , Debra , Jennifer and Stephen , who followed in his father 's slipstream , becoming world hang-gliding champion in 1983 . Their eldest daughter , Susan , predeceased him . From a young age he enjoyed being on water , including surfing and barefoot water skiing , but found the latter tame and sought greater challenges . In the summer of 1969 he was visiting Denmark as a barefoot waterskier but had taken his glider and crashed into trees , breaking a wrist and spending six weeks in plaster . On another occasion he was being towed by a " Canadian Hell Driver who drove like hell " at an air show in North Dakota . " The kite could not take it and we fell about ten metres , " he said , wincing at the memory . Despite these incidents , his Melbourne crash and the Grand Canyon run-in , Moyes spent much of the 1970s earning big fees by performing at festivals , fairs and shows around the world , " like some mythical human bumblebee , pollinating development in each country " , a friend observed . Dressed in a flashy white jumpsuit he developed a routine of being towed by a buggy , rising to a great height , cutting loose and returning to earth with a series of spins , turns and aerial acrobatics . He and his countryman Bill Bennett , another star of the sport , were billed as the " Birdmen of Australia " . In a memorable moment for hang-gliding , Bennett was Roger Moore 's stunt double in the James Bond film Live and Let Die . Moyes 's jumps and records continued to mount , as did his injuries , a tribute to his reluctance to wear a helmet . As the sport took off , he set up Moyes Delta Gliders , doing a roaring trade in building equipment . Moyes continued to pursue new records . He even jumped from the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania in 1981 with his son . At the age of 52 he was mercifully talked out of dropping on to the summit of Everest from a balloon and planting an Australian flag . Bill Moyes , hang-gliding pioneer , was born on July 12 , 1932 . He died on September 24 , 2024 , aged 92 |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not exhibit either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'come out of hiding' is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction as it lacks the necessary components and interpretations.

When you purchase through links on our site , we may earn an affiliate commission . Here 's how it works . ( Image credit : Spotify / Apple ) In the hours after Spotify dropped its Wrapped 2024 music recap , music fans around the world were left rather disappointed by the overload of unnecessary AI features replacing personal insights to your most streamed genres and albums . I should know , I 've been vocal on how much of a major let-down it was for me . But now that I 've come to terms with this year 's Wrapped not living up to its predecessor , I can continue with my deep dive into Spotify 's 2024 listening stats . In Spotify 's 2023 listening stats , some of the most interesting themes were TikTok 's growing influence and the rising popularity of podcasts , and though similar trends are present within this year 's report , I 've also noticed some further interesting changes in the listening habits of Spotify 's global audience . Let 's deep dive . ( Image credit : Spotify ) You ca n't argue with the fact that pop girls have ruled 2024 , whether they 've just stepped onto the scene or finally come out of hiding . The likes of Sabrina Carpenter , Charli xcx , and Chappell Roan had us all hooked , but for another year running Spotify announced Taylor Swift as the Global Top Artist . This should come as no surprise given the lasting impact of her 2023 re-releases Speak Now and 1989 , and of course The Eras Tour . However , the girl power did n't stop there . ( Image credit : Spotify ) Not only was there a country music renaissance ( pun intended ) , but Beyonc ? ' s impact was rather substantial . Following the release of her album Cowboy Carter , the record drove over 36 million people to listen to country music for the first time , as well as pushing streams for up-and-coming Black country artists Tanner Adell , Willie Jones , Reyna Roberts , and Shaboozey . But one of the crowning moments was when Spotify announced that ' Espresso ' by Sabrina Carpenter was the most-streamed song of the year globally . This naturally catapulted her album Short n ' Sweet into Spotify 's top 10 albums of the year list ; one of eight albums by women artists to make the cut . Is that sweet ? I guess so . ( Image credit : Spotify ) You could say that 2024 was very mindful , very demure , and Spotify 's 2024 stats reveal that the influence of social media is just as impactful as last year . This year we 've come face-to-face with even more viral meme content thanks to TikTok , so it 's not so shocking to learn that there was a 2500% surge in ' demure ' playlists . This echoes last year 's ' girl dinner ' playlist stat , showing that music fans are still finding joy with creating genre-bending playlists . ( Image credit : Spotify ) In a Spotify Wrapped first , the streaming platform included included a top 10 most viral songs lists , bringing attention to the most frequently shared songs from Spotify to other social platforms .

Similarly to its first ever viral song list , Spotify revealed a list of the top 10 collaborations in the US . If you 've had your eyes fixed to your TikTok feed over the past year , they you 're probably aware that some of the most talked-about moments on social media this year have been related to duets . In addition to Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars ' single ' Die With a Smile ' being Spotify 's most viral song of the year , Charli xcx 's remix of ' Guess ' with Billie Eilish kept the ' Brat summer ' fire alight , and Beyonc ? ' s collaborations with Post Malone and Miley Cyrus opened a new door for country duets . ( Image credit : Spotify ) In my deep dive into Spotify 's 2023 listening stats , its insight into podcast listening was the first thing that stood out to me . As for 2024 , podcasts are only getting bigger , and Spotify has provided more insights to its growing podcast community with more specific stats , particularly for the US market . ( Image credit : Spotify ) In contrast to last year , the 2024 trend report saw Spotify split its podcast stats into different sub-categories , to include lists of the top comedy podcasts , most anticipated podcast launches , top sports podcasts , top wellness podcasts , and top video podcasts . ( Image credit : Spotify ) It 's no surprise that some of the biggest movies of the past year have influenced our listening habits , and I can admit that I 've fallen victim to this . It all started in February when the first teaser trailer for Jon M. Chu 's Wicked dropped at the time of the Super Bowl , leading to a spike in streams for the Original Broadway Cast Recording . A similar spike happened again in the weeks after Wicked was released in November , when the original soundtrack skyrocketed into Spotify 's weekly charts . ( Image credit : Spotify ) But it was n't just Wicked that influenced our listening habits this year . Prompted by the emotionally-scarring release of Saltburn , ' Murder on the Dancefloor ' was impossible to escape , with the track making its debut on the global Spotify charts ( Spotify did n't exist the first time around ) . Similarly , ' Unwritten ' by Natasha Bedingfield made a 20-year comeback and tripled in 65 markets following the release of Anyone But You . This year 's best Netflix shows also brought with them shifts in our listening habits , but there 's one example in particular that stands out from the crowd : none other than Bridgerton . Known for its classical music renditions of modern pop songs , the season three release of the show prompted the spike in streams of string quartet covers featured in the Netflix show .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'optimize the fun out of everything' does not involve a causee participating in an event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to be a metaphorical use of 'optimize' with 'the fun' as its object, followed by 'out of everything' as a prepositional phrase, not a VP[-ing] predicate.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'make our careers out of being a public couple', where 'being a public couple' is not causing an NP object to move or preventing an action, and 'our careers' is not a causee.

Sarah Lancashire is thriving right now . After appearing in hit shows including Julia and Happy Valley , the star is now in the biggest Netflix show of the month , Black Dove , starring alongside Ben Whishaw and Keira Knightley . An extremely private person , Sarah rarely speaks about her family , but she has opened up about them on occasion . Here 's what we know about her life with Peter Salmon and their three children ... Away from the cameras , Sarah prefers to keep her personal life out of the spotlight . The 59-year-old resides in a ? 3 million , five-bedroom home in London with her husband Peter Salmon , a TV producer and executive . Sarah , who also has two sons from her first marriage , Tom and Matthew , is happiest when at home with her family . " The older that I get , the harder it is to be away from home , " she previously said . " I love being at home . I 'm very much a mum when I go home -- the mums among us know it 's a full-time job . " Peter popped the question during a romantic trip to New York over Easter in 2001 , and the couple wed just months later in an intimate wedding ceremony held at the historic country home and hotel , Langar Hall , in Nottinghamshire . During an interview with The Telegraph following her engagement , Sarah revealed why marriage was " necessary " for her . " Marriage is not for everyone , but spiritually it is very necessary for me because I have a desire , a need to feel owned , " she said , before clarifying : " Not physically or mentally owned . I want to be owned spiritually . I want to belong to somebody . Marriage is a pact , a conspiracy of ownership . And I want that . " Sarah is notoriously private . She opened up about her desire to keep her personal life out of the spotlight following her engagement to Peter .

Their first son , Thomas , was born in 1987 , and was soon followed by their second son Matthew in 1988 . In a previous interview with The Telegraph , Sarah explained that she got married after falling pregnant with her first child . " I 'm a very traditional girl and was horrified at the thought of having a child out of wedlock , " she admitted . " I did n't want a child of mine to be different or have fingers pointed at them . The marriage lasted for 10 years which was 10 years longer than it should have done . " Two years after she married her current husband , Peter , Sarah welcomed her third son , Joseph , in 2003 . Sarah is also a stepmum to Peter 's three sons from his previous marriage to Penny Watt . Since Sarah tends to keep her personal life private , not much is known about her children . |

The refusal of a controversial house build on a city street has been declared a " victory for Derby people " . Plans have been in the making for more than a year to build a new house on " narrow " land between two properties on Highfield Road , close to but not within the Strutts Park conservation area in the Darley ward . Initial plans for the construction of a two-storey property first came to light more than 12 months ago but were refused by Derby City Council in 2023 . Planning officers concluded the new house would " fail to respond sensitively or appropriately " to its setting and " create an unsatisfactory relationship to nearby properties " . But the developer , listed in documents as Jeremy Murphy , came back with an amended planning application for the same location earlier this year . The altered plan was for a single-storey bungalow to be built between 25 and 27 Highfield Road . The area of land was described as " a long , narrow plot , which at present is overgrown with shrubbery " . Documents said the house would comprise living and kitchen space , one bathroom and one bedroom . And it would exceed the minimum space standards for one person in a one-bedroom dwelling . The applicant hoped the amended plans would resolve the previous reasons for refusal by the city council . But in May Derby City Council refused the plans for a second time despite the alterations made . Planning officers arrived at the same conclusion that the plans would " fail to respond sensitively or appropriately " to its setting , " thereby causing harm to the street scene and the setting of the adjacent conservation area " . The developer then decided to appeal the council 's decision and formally went to the Planning Inspectorate for permission . The developer made the case that the area has " no uniform architectural style , and the proposal fits with the general pattern of development insofar as it mimics a garage building in size and positioning " . The Statement of Case said : " The design of the proposed dwelling has been styled to give the impression of a detached garage for no.27 . This means that it will not be out of character when viewed as a whole within the street . " But the Government appointed Planning Inspector , David Rose , dismissed the appeal . He said the scale and appearance of the proposed bungalow would be an " anomalous addition " to the street scene . Mr Rose said : " Although the appellant claims that the proposed bungalow would fit with the general pattern of development , insofar as it mimics a garage building in size and positioning , this overlooks the ancillary and secondary nature of such buildings , where they exist , along the street . Development on such a restricted plot would fail to respond sensitively to the pattern of development along the street even in its varied forms . " Darley ward councillor Martin Repton ( Labour ) , on his Facebook page , described the final refusal decision as a " victory for Derby people " . The councillor objected to the plans saying it was " completely out of keeping and going against the grain of the area " . |

When it comes to your child 's food preferences , every parent wants to have as many options as possible . Is there a way to encourage your child 's tastes when they 're a baby ? This is where the idea of a ' flavour window ' comes in -- in theory , a period of time in a baby 's life when they 're receptive to new experiences , which then have a big impact on their food preferences as toddlers , children and into adolescence . To discover the truth behind flavour windows and to learn how you might shape your baby 's tastes , we spoke to paediatric dietitian Lucy Neary . It might seem like a silly question . Surely we all understand the benefits of a varied , balanced diet by now ? But it 's good to reflect on why we want our children to accept and enjoy different foods . Firstly , it makes your life , as a parent , much easier . You have more options for the lunch box and dinner table - fewer awkward replacements , or tricky conversations with your nursery , school or play date mums and dads . It is normal for toddlers to develop a few dislikes as their independence blossoms , but as Lucy reminds us , working towards a general acceptance of different flavours is important . " A healthy diet and eating a range of different foods means that you 're less likely to develop long term health problems as you enter adulthood , " she says . There are many benefits : " It helps you have a healthy gut . It 's helps you have healthy teeth . It helps you to go to the toilet . " So , if you want to encourage your child to enjoy eating as many different kinds of foods as possible , is there an optimal time to introduce these new flavours ? A so-called ' flavour window ' ? Well , sort of . Lucy explains that between the ages of six and 18 months ( although some will say up to two years ) , after weaning and before the independence of toddlerhood , there can be an opportunity for parents to widen their child 's palate . " We see this ' window of acceptance ' for many babies , " Lucy says . This starts with the introduction of solid foods and a more varied diet and ends when : " toddlers start to get fussy and they become more independent . " " After two years it 's not like it 's set in stone , but we know that kids that are eating certain foods at around two years old tend to have the same preferences by the time they 're around eight . " " But it 's not really linear and it is going to be different for all babies . There 's so much going on . " Image caption , Breastfeeding can also bring a variety of flavours into your child 's life . " We are born with a preference for sweet , " Lucy explains . This is reinforced in our first months by the fact that both breast milk and formula are sweet . Once you 've started weaning , avoid foods with added sugar : " You do just fuel this sweet tooth . We have this inborn preference for sweet that minimises over time - if we offer too many sweet foods , that is n't going to minimise and that 's when you end up with kids that have a strong preference going forward . " " So a week or two of just those things , not incorporating any other baby foods at all . The more variety that they can be given , the more they can adjust and get used to those flavours . " There is research to support that it 's more likely they 'll accept those flavours when they get older . " " Historically , bitter foods are an identifier that something could be poisonous . We have n't evolved out of thinking , ' This could be dangerous for me ! ' It just takes lots of exposure to ride through that . " Should parents mix these bitter flavours in with sweeter ones to make it easier ? Lucy suggests not . " That 's what we used to do - ' Let 's sweeten things because it 's going to encourage babies to eat more . ' But , we learned that when you 're doing that , they might eat more , but they 're not adjusting and enjoying the bitter flavours . All we 're doing is we 're basically fuelling their natural sweet tooth . " And as for sour flavours , Lucy suggests fruit , natural yoghurt and adding a little lemon juice to some meals . Once you 've focussed on those bitter flavours for the first couple of weeks during weaning , Lucy says it 's time to expand your child 's palate to all food groups and flavours . " Sometimes it 's good to get parents to think about cultures around the world . Big swathes of Asia eat really spicy food at a young age . So , try not to shy away from flavours and use different herbs and spices . That does n't mean you have to be cheffy ! " Here 's some more advice to help babies learn to love a variety of flavours ... Sometimes things do n't go to plan - a little fussiness starts to kick in , perhaps some spinach ends up on the floor . But Lucy says parents should take a breath and stay on track . " What tends to happen is toddlers start to get fussy , they become more independent and they start rejecting things . As a result , parents panic and start minimising what they offer their child because they do n't want food waste . " But this is often a perfectly natural development : " At about the age of one , their appetite drops because growth slows . Sometimes what is perceived as fussiness is just a natural decrease in appetite . When it comes to not accepting new foods , actually the best thing for parents to do is ride it out . " Make sure there 's always something that your a child will eat on the table . " " But it does n't have to be the whole meal . So if they go through a phase where they 're like , ' I will never eat potatoes ' - that 's quite a common one - rather than only making rice or pasta , make potatoes for everyone and if your child chooses not to eat it them , that 's absolutely fine , because there might be some chicken or some vegetables as part of the meal . " It 's when we stop offering them options that they stop eating long term . " Easier said than done for a busy parent , and ready-made baby foods have their place , but the small variations in a home-cooked snack or meal can help your child adapt to different flavour profiles . " Baby foods are designed to be very uniform , very consistent . When you feed a child commercial baby food regularly , what they 're not getting is these changes in flavour and smell . " When you make something yourself at home , it 's always going to be slightly different . " What about those days when you simply do n't have the time or energy to prepare a big meal ? There are still things you can do to introduce your child to new flavours , Lucy explains . " Social media has a lot to answer for - making parents feel the pressure to be doing the very most all of the time . There are really simple things that we can be doing that will give children different flavours and different textures . " Beans or egg on toast are perfectly good examples , Lucy suggests , but even if you 're using a pre-made meal or commercial baby food , you can add extra flavour and texture . " Mix herbs and spices into baby food , or if you have some leftovers , mix that in . Squeeze a bit of lemon juice in there . Or maybe prepare some couscous with hot water , then mix it in . " " The environment , the language , all the social stuff with your family will have as much impact as their actual tastebuds , " Lucy says . You might speak negatively about a certain kind of food or flavour , based on your own preferences , without even realising it and this can affect how your child thinks about that food or flavour . They 're always looking to you for guidance ! You do n't have to be positive all the time , " it 's about being neutral as well ! " |

He will be desperate to end his spell with the Silver Arrows on a positive note by performing well at the Yas Marina Circuit ahead of his highly-anticipated move to Ferrari next year . Upon arriving in Abu Dhabi earlier this week , Hamilton admitted that it felt ' very surreal ' to be leaving Mercedes after 12 successful years . He added : " I 've just tried to be as present as I can be today and just be enjoying every moment from arriving to seeing the engineers and just really like taking moments and capturing them as much as I can . " Then to getting ready and getting in the car ... I 've really enjoyed the day . I 've really enjoyed driving the car today , working with the guys in the garage and the engineers . " We 've got some work to do . The McLaren is still so fast , as is Ferrari . We 're in the mix , kind of , but we 've got to find some time .

Because he was slower in all three sectors than in the previous round Q2 , " he said . " We were very optimistic after the first run . Max not only almost lost the car at Turn 16 , but also two tenths . We thought before the second run : if you ' correct ' the time by two tenths , that 's enough for the front row . But in the second run , nothing worked at all . " . George Russell fears Mercedes are well off the pace in Abu Dhabi and wo n't be competitive when the lights go out tomorrow . " Come Q3 my lap felt really strong . It felt like all of my laps from this season , when we 're fighting right at the front , " he said . " Especially recently , the swings and roundabouts of teams ' performances this year have just been extraordinary and we just take ourselves from McLaren looking at Vegas , here , they were well off the pace there , we 're well off the pace here . " Charles Leclerc took responsibility for his disappointing qualifying after paying the price for a track limits violation . The Ferrari star had knocked in the quickest time in Q2 only for the stewards to delete the lap for going beyond the white line . That demoted him to 11th and sent him out of qualifying , with the Monegasque also dropping 10 places in Sunday 's race due to a power unit component change . Leclerc held his hands up after the race , saying : " I 'm not feeling -- obviously -- great . It 's a difficult one to take and it 's definitely not the right moment for this to happen . " Between the engine penalty and the lap time deleted , we are not in the strongest position tomorrow . I 'll give it all to try and turn the situation around tomorrow . " Obviously this one is on me . It 's not been an easy weekend but I still feel everything is possible and I 'll do my best . I 'll believe in it until the very end . We 'll do everything in order to make it a special Sunday . " Qualifying results for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix dramatically changed two hours after the session ended on Saturday when one driver was hit with a penalty , with Max Verstappen one of the beneficiaries . Nico Hulkenberg was handed a three-place grid penalty after he was summoned to the stewards ' room following the dramatic one-hour session in the UAE . Lando Norris secured pole and led a McLaren 1-2 with Oscar Piastri to boost their hopes of winning the Constructors ' Championship , with Carlos Sainz in third . Haas driver Hulkenberg had pulled off a superb result at the Yas Marina circuit when he qualified fourth ahead of Verstappen , who could only manage fifth , while Lewis Hamilton was knocked out of Q1 in his final race for Mercedes . But the 37-year-old driver will now start Sunday 's race from seventh on the grid following his penalty . Verstappen rises to P4 , with Pierre Gasly fifth and George Russell sixth . An inconsolable Toto Wolff was furious with himself and the Mercedes team after a series of poor decisions led to Lewis Hamilton 's Q1 elimination at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix . The Brit was sent out late for his final effort of the session and reached the line to start his lap with mere seconds remaining . This was a result of a rushed preparation lap , which cost him critical time . Some bad luck played a role in Hamilton 's premature Q1 exit too . He collected a bollard turfed up by Kevin Magnussen in sector three , which in turn got lodged in the underbody of his W15 . Speaking to Sky Sports F1 after qualifying , a furious Wolff said : " I want to apologise to Lewis and to everyone in the team who worked so hard to make it a great end for him . " We have totally let him down , an idiotic mistake of not going out earlier . Inexcusable . Inexcusable . I have rarely been so down about what has happened . Maybe it summarises the last races we had with him but this is the worst . " Nico Rosberg has questioned Mercedes ' ' Every dream needs a team ' slogan that has been ever-present at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix , stating that he would have preferred a more personal message of gratitude to Lewis Hamilton . The five-word slogan was chosen to commemorate Hamilton 's final race with the Silver Arrows as he brings an end to a 13-year stay at Brackley , and has featured in promotional films , on the wall of the motorhomes and even on stickers placed on the W15 . Rosberg , however , was n't impressed . During Sky Sports F1 's FP3 broadcast , he said : " Every dream needs a team . I would have preferred reading like ' Every team needs a hero ' because we 're kind of celebrating Lewis here , rather than ' Every dream needs a team ' . " Lando Norris has described McLaren 's 1-2 in qualifying for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix as a ' perfect day ' . The Briton qualified on the front row ahead of Oscar Piastri " A perfect day for us . Probably a bit tougher than we were hoping for , " he said to F1 TV . " We are pleased with a one-two . Just a bit trickier than we would like . My lap in the end was strong . Just how we wanted to end today . " We have to beat Ferrari but we want to do it in style . We want to win , I want to win . We know what we have to do . " We are keeping our heads down and staying focused . We are here to win every race possible . Tomorrow we will have a good chance . We will give it everything we have got , knowing in the back of our minds what we really have to do to achieve our goal . " Lewis Hamilton apologised to his Mercedes team after ' really not wanting ' to do something in Abu Dhabi this weekend . That 's according to journalist Julianne Cerasoli , who told Pit Pass : " Mercedes did a special thing with him this Thursday . He was n't expecting that , it was a surprise thing . " They took him to the paddock club and he was not really willing to go to the paddock club , saying : ' Oh , I 've never been to the paddock club in 12 years with this time . How come I 'm going now ? What are you doing ? ' and really not wanting to go . " When he arrived there , the whole team were all there waiting for him and they played a very special video that had images since his karting days . " Seeing that video was very touching and it was very emotional for the whole team and everybody was watching with him . " He said : ' Oh , I 'm so sorry that I did n't want to come to this thing because I 'm really grateful ' . And it was an emotional moment for the team . " Lewis Hamilton reportedly apologised to his Mercedes team ( Image : GETTY ) |

Fighters begin to encircle Damascus and claim senior state officers want to defect new Stefanie Glinski Izzy Lyons Saturday December 07 2024 , 11.20pm , The Sunday Times Troops fighting the Assad regime move into Homs on Saturday MAHMOUD HASANO/REUTERS Stefanie Glinski Izzy Lyons Saturday December 07 2024 , 11.20pm , The Sunday Times The regime of President Assad of Syria is on the brink of collapse after rebels claimed the city of Homs , reached the gates of Damascus and forced state troops to retreat from swathes of the country . Assad 's 24-year rule appeared to be almost over after rebel groups swept from the south to the outskirts of the capital and the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham ( HTS ) faction moved into Homs , Syria 's third biggest city , to the north . Hassan Abdel-Ghani , a rebel commander , said Homs had been " fully liberated " and that senior regime officials in Damascus were in talks to defect . Late on Saturday crowds of people were said to be celebrating in the streets as rebels declared the release of 3,500 inmates at the city 's military prison . Capture of Homs would leave Assad with three remaining provincial capitals : Damascus , Latakia and Tartus . Mohammad Khaled al-Rahmoun , Syria 's interior minister , said on state television that the regime had built " a very strong security and military cordon on the far edges of Damascus " . However , a US official told CBS News that the city appeared to be " falling suburb by suburb " . Demonstrators took to the streets and toppled a statue of al-Assad 's father and predecessor , Hafez al-Assad , roughly seven miles southeast of Damascus . People chanted and waved flags in the main square of Jeramana as others pulled down the sculpture of the former president , smashing it into pieces and carrying it through the streets : Video showed young men chanting : " Syria is ours , it does n't belong to the Assad family . " Assad 's British-born wife , Asma al-Assad , fled Syria for Russia with their three children days after rebels launched their shock offensive , according to The Wall Street Journal . Assad 's two brothers-in-law are rumoured to have left Syria and travelled to the United Arab Emirates . The Syrian government dismissed suggestions Assad had also fled , insisting he remained in Damascus to continue his duties . But the embattled leader pulled out of addressing the nation at 8pm local time as chaos unfolded in the city . Assad last appeared in public on Sunday during an official visit by Iran 's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi . Footage circulating online appeared to show some regime soldiers in the capital changing out of their uniforms and into civilian clothes . There was a rush on food and supplies , with many shops being shuttered , some running dry of goods , and others selling products for three times the normal price . Donald Trump wrote on social media that " Syria is a mess , but is not our friend " and " the United States should have nothing to do with it . This is not our fight " . Iran 's pro-Assad regime said it would " make every effort to ensure security and combat terrorists in Syria " , accusing the US and Israel of supporting the rebels to shape a " new Middle East " . A military vehicle belonging to the Syrian regime forces burns after it was hit by regime forces in Hama . Below , rebels celebrate atop a downed military aircraft OMAR HAJ KADOUR/AFP MAHMOUD HASANO/REUTERS The United Nations said it would withdraw " non-critical " staff from Syria . The collapse in Assad 's frontline came as his backers in Iran and Russia appeared unable or unwilling to ride to his rescue . Amos Hochstein , US envoy to the Middle East , told a regional conference in Qatar that Iran appeared to be " pulling out of Syria to some degree . " At the same meeting in Doha , Sergei Lavrov , Russia 's Foreign Minister , said : " It 's inadmissible to allow the terrorist group to take control of Syria . " However , Russia 's airstrikes in support of Assad since the start of the rebel offensive on November 27 have proved minimal with Putin focused on Ukraine . Syria 's neighbour , Turkey , a major player in the region , has long been at loggerheads with the Assad regime . Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday that " there is now a new reality in Syria , politically and diplomatically ... Syria belongs to Syrians with all its ethnic , sectarian and religious elements , " adding , " the people of Syria are the ones who will decide the future of their own country . " A day prior , he seemed to endorse the rebel offensive , saying that he wished for it to continue without incident . " Idlib , Hama , Homs , and the target , of course , is Damascus . The opposition 's march continues , " he told reporters , adding : We made a call to Assad . We said : ' Come , let 's determine the future of Syria together . ' Unfortunately , we did not receive a positive response to this . " Bashar al-Assad and his wife Asma , left , in 2021 LOUAI BESHARA/AFP/GETTY IMAGES As Damascus teetered , HTS , an Islamist group and al-Qaeda offshoot led by Abu Mohammad al-Jolani , were fighting to take the strategic city of Homs , about 100 miles north of the capital . Jolani said it was a " historic moment " and called on his forces not to harm " those who drop their arms " . A crucial crossroads connecting Damascus to the north , the coast , and eastern regions , it is a vital hub for controlling supply lines and serves as the final major stronghold before the capital itself . According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights ( SOHR ) , the Assad regime has started bombing rebel positions north of the city which was a former flashpoint in the civil war . In 2012 , the battle for Homs intensified ; and on 22 February that year , The Sunday Times correspondent Marie Colvin was killed when a Syrian army shell struck the building where she and other journalists had been staying . Since the launch of the offensive on November 27 , HTS has also made rapid advances towards Damascus . The group , which was designated a foreign terrorist organisation by the US in 2018 , has already seized significant territory in northwest Syria , including Aleppo and Hama this week , as well as dozens of other towns and villages . Residents walk through the Syrian city Salamiyah in Hama days after anti government forces captured and took control of the area BAKR ALKASEM/AFP On Friday . Al-Jolani said the group had evolved , explaining that building Syria was now a priority " Hayat Tahrir al-Sham is merely one part of this dialogue , and it may dissolve at any time . It is not an end in itself but a means to perform a task : confronting this regime , " he told CNN . That day , clashes intensified in Daraa , the southern province where the 2011 uprising against Assad ignited the civil war that has lasted for 13 years and claimed over half a million lives . At least 370,000 people have been displaced due to the latest violence , the United Nations says , and more than 820 people -- 111 of them civilians -- have been killed since the start of the HTS-led offensive . Aleppo , Syria 's second biggest city and home to roughly two million people , was captured by HTS last week , prompting a large return of displaced residents following Assad 's withdrawal . Ammar Alabsi , 31 , returned to the city for the first time since the civil war began in 2011 . " It was calm , shops were open , and people were trying to resume their routines . But I was shocked by the state of the city : the poor internet , high unemployment , and the regime-controlled television , which has been brainwashing people for years , " he said . Last night Hamish Falconer , the Foreign Office minister for the Middle East , said the UK will take action in Syria if the government regime crosses a " red line " in its warfare . He said the use of chemical weapons in the region by either side would be " intolerable " . " I raised chemical weapons specifically just to be clear that they remain a red line for the UK in Syria and indeed internationally , " he said . " I wo n't speculate on what we would do should that be breached but I am raising it because it remains a red line for us . We would take appropriate action if we saw that red line breached . " |

The Deputy Prime Minister said too many people are " priced out of getting a home " ahead of a sweeping overhaul of planning rules . And she vowed to tackle situations where housebuilding is scuppered by the presence of wildlife . Speaking on Trevor Phillips on Sunday on Sky News , Ms Rayner said : " We ca n't have a situation where a newt is more protected than people who desperately need housing . What we need is a process which says protect the nature and wildlife but not at the expense of us building the houses we need . We can do both . " Angela Rayner said she was determined to meet ambitious housebuilding targets ( Image : Sky News ) Pressed on the impact on wildlife , she said : " Environmental factors will be taken into account , but we ca n't have a situation where we have a desperate housing crisis and we ca n't resolve things like nutrient neutrality , which we believe we can . " We ca n't have a situation where we ca n't build those houses . There 's mitigations you can make . I can not accept the situation as it stands currently . " Keir Starmer last week vowed to face down an " alliance of naysayers " to build 1.5 million homes and fast-track planning decisions on 150 major infrastructure projects by the next election . He said it was " absurd " that the HS2 rail project had spent ? 100 million constructing a tunnel to protect rare bats . " This government will not accept this nonsense any more , " he said . Ms Rayner insisted she was determined to meet 1.5million homes target , which would mean housebuilding on a scale not seen since the post-war period .

" The Government is expected to confirm sweeping changes to the National Planning Policy Framework this week to speed up decision-making . Increased housing targets are expected to become mandatory for the first time as part of the shake-up . Under the plans , applications that already comply with local development plans will be able to bypass planning committees to cut out delays . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('too many people') + V1 ('are priced') + NP object (implied 'them') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('getting a home'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the action of being priced out prevents people from getting a home. The verb 'priced' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically'. The NP subject is an animate agent, and the NP object (implied 'them') is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('people are priced out of getting a home'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the action of being priced out prevents people from getting a home. The verb 'priced' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically'. The NP object 'people' functions as a causee, and the sentence clearly involves a prevention interpretation, making it an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Reasoning

The sentence 'She said: "It takes the work out of saving."' does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'out of saving' does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'saving' appears to be a gerund functioning as the object of the preposition 'out of', similar to the examples in (7a) and (7b) which are not instances of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The best savings rate on the market this week comes from the Plum app , which also works out how much you can afford to save using artificial intelligence . Since its launch in 2017 the financial tech firm has gained 2 million customers in Europe -- 1.5 million in the UK . In the past 12 months its assets under management have trebled to ? 1 billion . It also offers investment accounts and the automated savings service that links to your current account and transfers regular amounts into a savings pot . This week Plum increased the interest on its easy-access cash Isa by 0.5 percentage points to 5.18 per cent , the highest on the market , while rival firms were cutting their rates . This , however , is a variable rate and includes a 1.39 per cent bonus that only lasts 12 months . The average instant access rate across the market fell from 3 per cent on November 2 to 2.92 per cent on Friday , while the top rate from a bank or building society is 4.85 per cent , from Principality Building Society , according to the comparison site Moneyfacts . Plum also offers entry-level investment accounts . The firm 's customers are aged between 25 and 45 , with many having been attracted by adverts on social media sites such as Facebook and TikTok . Victoria Williams , a copywriter from Bethnal Green in east London , has been using Plum since its launch . She has linked her Plum account to her Halifax bank account so that she automatically saves money . She said : " It takes the work out of saving . The amount that is transferred to Plum depends on how much I earn , what I spend and also what bills are coming up . I am saving more than I used to and am doing so in a way that is not really noticeable . " Williams , 41 , has saved about ? 10,000 so far via Plum . It automatically transfers between ? 25 and ? 50 , twice a week , to her Plum account . You can change your account settings to take more or less , depending on your goals , and stop it making a transfer if it means that you will go into your overdraft . Williams has set her Plum account so that there is always a positive balance in her current account . Plum was set up by Victor Trokoudes , 40 , and Alex Michael , 37 , who are both from Cyprus but live in London . They worked in the financial technology sector before setting up the app in the belief that an algorithm could do better than they did at saving money . Michael chose the name in honour of his grandfather who sold plums in Cyprus . Plum took advantage of the Competition and Markets Authority 's 2016 open banking rules , which aimed to break the domination of the high street banks and encourage innovation . Big banks were obliged to allow third-party firms , such as Plum , access to customers ' accounts , with the customer 's consent . Plum uses this access to analyse your account data , work out your spending habits and automatically transfer any " spare " money into your Plum savings account ( which is actually held with a regulated bank ) . It calculates how much you can afford to save each month while maintaining your lifestyle and paying your bills . The Plum co-founder Victor Trokoudes PLUM After downloading the app , you can grant Plum permission to access all your current accounts . This means that you can see all your money in one place and it can analyse your spending habits . But you can only make automatic transfers from one linked account . You can set it to make regular deposits , or to round up your payments to the nearest ? 1 and save the spare change . The Payday service automatically moves money to Plum when you are paid . Users can choose a " mood " such as " shy " , " normal " or " beast " to determine how much to save . The automated service can be paused at any time and you can manually withdraw or add money . Plum is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority , the City regulator , as an electronic money institution , not a bank . This means that it is not protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme ( FSCS ) which covers up to ? 85,000 of your money if the firm holding it fails.Plum savings are , however , kept separate from its business , in regulated banks that are FSCS protected , such as the banking giants Lloyds and Citigroup or the South African bank Investec . Watch out though because if you save with Plum and already have money held with one of its FSCS-covered firms then all those savings will count towards the ? 85,000 cap . For example , if you had ? 50,000 saved with Lloyds then saving more than ? 35,000 with Plum would mean some of your money was not FSCS-covered . Plum sets aside 2 per cent of the value of client funds from its own money to act as a back-up in case the company fails , but it acknowledges that some client money could be used during an insolvency process . The firm says on its website that in " this unlikely circumstance , while you are likely to receive most of your funds you may not get the total value if costs are deducted . The process of returning your funds by an insolvency practitioner is likely to take longer than if you were making a claim in the FSCS . " Plum offers savings , investments and self-invested personal pensions . Its 5.18 per cent cash Isa has no monthly fee -- but there is a catch . As well as the bonus element of the rate , there is also the fact that the 5.18 per cent only applies to new contributions , so if you transfer in an Isa from somewhere else , you will only get a 3.79 per cent variable rate . Your money is held with Citibank or Lloyds and the company encourages you to check your total holdings to ensure you are fully FSCS-protected . Plum 's other easy-access deal pays 3.74 per cent . It does not have a bonus , but the rate is variable so the company can change it by giving 14 days ' notice . If you pay ? 2.99 a month for its Pro service you earn a rate of 3.89 per cent . Premium customers , who pay ? 9.99 a month , can get 4.38 per cent . The money is held with Investec . You get higher rates and more investment products as a Pro and Premium customer . Plum also has a 95-day notice account for Premium customers , again provided by Investec . The rate is 5.2 per cent . After January 11 the rate will decrease to 5.05 per cent and then to 4.84 per cent on March 8 . Savers would get a better return from the GB Bank 95-day notice account via the savings platform Prosper . It pays 5.1 per cent and has a minimum ? 20,000 deposit . It has no charge and there is no advertised plan to cut the rate . The Plum Interest account allows you to invest in government bonds paying a variable rate of between 4.09 per cent and 4.71 per cent , depending on which plan you are on . The fund is managed by the investment firm BlackRock . Pro and Premium customers have access to up to 26 investment funds and more than 3,000 individual shares . There is a platform fee of 0.45 per cent , which is the maximum charged by the biggest DIY investment platform , Hargreaves Lansdown , whose customers have access to more products . Rivals such as AJ Bell charge 0.25 per cent , while Iweb , which is part of Halifax , has no platform charge . Plum customers also have to pay the underlying fund charges of between 0.13 per cent and 0.88 per cent , which is typical across all investment platforms . The Plum self-invested personal pension has a fee of up to 0.45 per cent and fund fees on top . Justin Modray who runs the advisory firm Candid Financial Advice , said : " Plum offers the convenience of saving and investing via a single app , but the headline grabbing rate comes with conditions and withdrawals are limited to three a year , with annual interest falling to 2.5 per cent if you exceed this . " Holding investment funds with Plum is more expensive than many other investment platforms . If you want to trade shares and hold some cash savings , Plum could be worth a look . But it 's unattractive for fund investors and whether the savings rates remain competitive remains to be seen . " Rachel Springall from the comparison site Moneyfacts said : " Plum does not offer in-person support as it has no branches so it wo n't be ideal for everyone . Technology can go wrong , so it 's always wise to have savings across different pots . " It 's undeniable that consumers might not trust open banking and may worry that their information is at risk . There is also a case of generational divide . Some may not be reaping the benefits of online banking at all -- some people just do n't trust managing their money that way . " |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'made' is followed by 'a career out of adding a personal flourish', where 'a career' is not an NP object functioning as a causee, and there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the means by which the subject has achieved something, not causing or preventing an action by another entity.

For anyone looking to win friends and charm a godchild or two this Christmas , a word to the wise : the best gifts do n't need to be new . Indeed , in many cases it 's better if they 're the opposite . Proffering a preloved or vintage present is a serious flex this winter . A scour of the internet confirms it : there is nothing more chic than a carefully sourced vintage find ( ideally a 1940s Audemars Piguet watch ) , except maybe for one that has been painstakingly wrapped in brown paper ( upcycled , of course ) and presented along with a candle from a B Corp-listed sustainable brand , or maybe a homemade bottle of quince gin . Here 's everything we 've learnt about second-hand gifting -- without a mothball in sight . A booming resale industry means that second-hand Christmas shopping has come a long way quickly . With sites such as Vinted and Vestiaire Collective now ten a penny -- and taking on more listings than before -- it has never been easier to source a preloved gift without having to trawl the local charity shops . The key to this is organisation . Write a comprehensive list of the gifts you have in mind and consider if a second-hand option might be available . Typing the exact description into your resale site of choice ( my current searches range from " vintage Aran sweater " to " Sylvanian Families tree house " ) may offer thrilling results . " Always search elsewhere before you add a new one to basket , " says Francesca Fox , co-founder of the Broadstairs-based Kinder Collective , which offers preloved and new clothes , books and toys . " You 'd be surprised what you can find in good condition . " The downside of second-hand shopping online is lengthy delivery times : buying from Vinted is all well and good , but not if it takes the seller a week to make it to the post office . Combat this by shopping early and striking up a rapport with the person you 're buying from . If you 're worried about something getting to you on time , try sending a quick message to politely highlight the urgency : " This is for my best friend , she is going to love it . Thank you so much . " Bricks-and-mortar vintage stores are also well worth a look , of course , and an amazing resource for last-minute shopping . The short answer is anything and everything , from a second-hand Rolex to a bomber jacket they 'll adore . " Exceptions are maybe electronics , " says Natalie Hartley , vintage expert and founder of Chillie London , who adds : " But there seems to be a trend for old cameras and unbranded watches emerging , which make lovely gifts . " This year she also recommends gifting preloved neon signs and second-hand posters . Meanwhile , the embroiderer Cressida Jamieson is a sucker for a trinket and loves to give paperweights and jewellery boxes . " It 's about finding something you know someone would adore and would n't necessarily come across unless specifically looking , although I do sometimes find it hard to part with them ! " Her current searches include Michael R Curzon Captive Gardens ( glass domes with real preserved flowers inside from the 1970s ) and antique French glass trinket boxes . The interiors and vintage furniture expert Natalie Tillison , who runs the Yorkshire-based website Folie Chambre , likes to give vintage kitchenware : " Anything from pear-shaped ice buckets to serveware , cocktail glasses and ceramics . " Natalie Hartley , founder of Chillie London , gives her top tips for buying vintage this Christmas The obvious places to start , beyond the big online resale destinations , are curated websites where the hard searching has been done for you . The joy of these destinations is that you have more peace of mind about what you 're buying , and many offer a luxury packaging service too . Among our favourites at the top end of the market are websites such as Reluxe , 1stDibs and Rites London -- excellent if you fancy gifting some vintage Saint Laurent or a vintage Chanel bag this Christmas . On Depop , sellers such as Vivien 's Vintage and Attagirl are also worth a look , particularly for those buying for Gen Z family and friends . For interiors , along with websites such as Folie Chambre and Scene by Chloe , check out Chase & Sorensen . For children , try the resale site And They Wear , run by the former fashion buyer Lucy MacKay , who gives any item that passes through her hands the necessary TLC ( the cheering touch of a new button or two ) before sending to customers . At Kinder Collective , bright colours are prioritised alongside useful staples . See also Stanley Stores and Scamps Vintage . Plus , many , many more -- Instagram is your friend here . The key to successful second-hand gifting is to pay close attention to quality . " Things that have retained their quality and been well taken care of make the best gifts , " Hartley says . If shopping online , check the condition of items fully and ask for extra pictures of any listed faults or imperfections . While most preloved fashion and toy specialists will only sell items in perfect working order , you ca n't guarantee the same standards from the Wild West that is the internet . With fashion items it 's a good idea to air any purchases before wrapping them . If needed , take them to the dry cleaners . As for toys , Rebecca Gonsalves of Kinder Collective advises : " If you 're giving a preloved toy , we 'd always recommend a good clean with a cloth and a natural antibacterial spray . " You 've sourced the vintage Rolex of dreams , so do n't ruin it with some naff foil paper . The perfect wrapping will make your carefully sourced gift one they 'll never forget . " I always use recycled wrapping paper and even try to use paper tape . But using things like old shoeboxes and old bits of fabric to wrap is fun as well , " Hartley says . Tillison suggests wrapping your item in recycled honeycomb brown paper with a great big bow . " It 's also a nice idea to include a care package to go with the item you 're giving , " she adds . " This could be a tub of furniture wax and a duster for a wooden gift . " For your favourite little people , Gonsalves recommends doing away with the box altogether : " While babies may love the packaging more than what 's inside , most children hate toy packaging because it 's actually quite hard to get into with their excited little fingers . Instead , find a reusable fabric pouch or bag or a paper gift bag , as this will make for a neater presentation than trying to wrap a bundle of blocks . " The worst type of preloved gift is one that pretends to be something it is n't . Do n't just tell the person receiving the gift that their present happens to be second-hand , shout about it . " There 's something incredibly thoughtful about buying second-hand or vintage , as it takes time to source and it shows the person that you have really thought about them , " Tillison says . " It is so nice to hold on to a beautiful vintage gift that a friend has thoughtfully chosen for you . Last year I received an incredible vintage ceramic pot from Puglia that my husband chose and I treasure it . Not only that , it makes so much more sense for the environment and world we live in . Sustainability should be at the heart of buying gifts . " Gonsalves agrees : " Whether you 're handing down a much-loved jumper , passing on an unwanted gift or have chosen a preloved gift from a shop like ours or another online curator , I would encourage you to be open about the fact your gift is preloved , rather than attempting to pass it off as something it 's not . They may know , they may not , but you 'll probably feel an awkwardness about it , rather than the warm glow that giving a great gift can provide . " Adding a personal touch to a well-sourced second-hand gift is the way to make a gorgeous gift an incredible one . Jamieson knows this only too well -- the embroiderer extraordinaire has made a career out of adding a personal flourish to everything from hoodies to vintage tableware . " I love table linens -- pretty napkins or tablecloths -- often with a print , to which I can add names or motifs that complement the existing design . They all tell a story already , and I love how embroidering bespoke details on to them gives them a new lease of life , a new chapter in their history , " she says . The key to this is to find items that serve as blank canvases -- perhaps it 's a cashmere knit that can be upgraded or a pair of preloved jeans . Jamieson , who says Victorian cotton shirts are her weakness , has a drawer full of favourites ready to embroider and give to her friends when the opportunity arises : " They are beautiful items as they are and need only a touch of embroidery to make them that little bit more special . " Naturally shopping online is useful , but there is no substitute for an up-close-and-personal experience . December is the perfect time to have one of your own . Follow the sellers you love on Instagram and ask about Christmas shopping opportunities . Most will do them . Chillie London , for example , goes all out -- next weekend it has a special celeb-hosted shopping day , with styling sessions and a craft table for kids . Of course , the usual preloved haunts -- see car boot fairs , vintage markets or , if you 're really feeling adventurous , a trip to a French flea market are all great ideas . And do n't forget your local charity shop . Style 's fashion director Karen Dacre I 'm hosting Christmas this year and am light on serving platters -- eBay is a go-to for chic handmade Danish bits and bobs . Fisherman 's jumpers and Aran knitwear are my weak spots . Having recently discovered that there are lots of my favourite pieces by the late designer popping up online , I 've got searches saved on all the best resale sites . My seven-year-old has his eye on becoming the next Ben Stokes . There are loads of second-hand options online . |

Having made her career out of renovating and decorating homes , fans can expect nothing but the best from the Magnolia founder when it comes to transforming her home in time for the holidays , and her latest glimpse of it did not disappoint . Over the weekend , Joanna took to Instagram and shared a sweet video highlighting some of her stunning Christmas decorations , along with her youngest son Crew playing with some friends . The cozy , heartwarming video starts off showcasing the family 's mantle decorated with a garland featuring dried orange slices , before panning over to little Crew with two friends working at the puzzle table , and finally there 's a glimpse of their impressive Christmas tree , beautifully decorated and all lit up . During an appearance on the Today Show on Tuesday , October 22 alongside Chip , Joanna explained to hosts Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie how she helped Drake set up his college apartment , but also how he took matters into his own hands . However , she then revealed : " Then the day that I leave , he 'll send pictures to his siblings and then they 'll show me , " how he has already added his own personal touches , including colorful string lights . " It 's all about lighting . So he wanted more lighting . He bought some lights on Amazon and strung them throughout his whole apartment , now it looks like a club , " Joanna added , as the hosts joked it " that was not a Joanna project , " and that he " thought it was a fixer upper , " referring to the couple 's former HGTV show . |

The Magpies have been the definition of inconsistent so far this season , as their frantic 3-3 draw against Liverpool and 4-2 defeat against Brentford just days later showed . Their struggles stem from a difficult transfer window , in which Paul Mitchell spent months chasing Marc Guehi only to miss out on the defender 's signature and opt out of turning to any alternatives . So , when the January transfer window opens and , of course , when the summer arrives , Newcastle should be one of the clubs to watch . Those at St James ' Park have already been linked with the likes of Bryan Mbeumo in recent weeks , whose quality they need no reminding of after he scored against them this weekend . But it remains to be seen whether they 'll splash the cash as early as this winter . It 's not just their attacking options that the Magpies want to boost , as they 've reportedly been handed quite the boost on that front . According to CaughtOffside , Borussia Dortmund are now open to offers for Felix Nmecha , who Newcastle have recently scouted and are interested in signing in 2025 . The Champions League club are reportedly open to offers in the region of ? 40-45m ( ? 33-37m ) to leave the ball in Newcastle 's court . With Manchester United and Aston Villa also seemingly interested in the former Manchester City gem , the Magpies can not afford to wait around and deliberate over a move . If they want to complete Howe 's midfield by signing Nmecha , they should make a swift move . As for Nmecha himself , he could yet get the chance at Premier League redemption . Like Jadon Sancho , Nmecha has played his best football since leaving Manchester City amid a struggle to break into the senior side at the Etihad . The midfielder first impressed at Wolfsburg before completing a move to Borussia Dortmund . Now , he could earn come back to haunt Manchester City by finally excelling in the Premier League . The Man City academy graduate has certainly earned plenty of fans at Borussia Dortmund , including manager Nuri Sahin , who lauded the 24-year-old 's " exceptional profile for a midfielder " back in November . He said : " I can only judge him based on the last ten or eleven months . But I think he has everything , he has an exceptional profile for a midfielder . " The Bundesliga giants could be left with no choice but to bid farewell to their midfielder if Newcastle come calling , however . The Magpies could form a mouth-watering midfield trio between Bruno Guimaraes , Sandro Tonali and Nmecha in 2025 . If they want to take Howe 's side back to the Champions League , that midfield would certainly be a start . When 2025 arrives , Newcastle must make up for the summer transfer window and welcome a number of much-needed reinforcements - potentially starting with Nmecha. #QR065912 Member Since2024-12-08 Number of Posts20 Making m0ney at home has become increasingly popular and accessible .

Leicester City produced an improbable comeback to earn a valuable point against Brighton and stay unbeaten under new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy . They had been staring at defeat when Yankuba Minteh added to Tariq Lamptey 's first-half stunner with just 10 minutes to play . But this City side has shown determination to fight to the death before , and again they pulled out a result from nowhere . Jamie Vardy got the first , coolly finishing after pouncing on a deflection , but it was substitute Bobby De Cordova-Reid who delivered the equaliser , the Jamaican tapping in his first City goal as the clock hit 90 . It means City took another small step towards survival , the club now five points clear of the bottom three . Van Nistelrooy was forced to change a winning team with Brighton loanee Facundo Buonanotte ineligible to face his parent club . Jordan Ayew was the man selected to replace him , with the new manager otherwise naming an unchanged 11 . After the action-packed start to Tuesday 's match , it was a far quieter opening amid the blustery weather , with just a chance apiece in the opening stages . James Justin could n't stretch high enough to get his header on target , and then Joao Pedro placed a back-post volley wide . As the half wore on , Brighton began to dominate . Mads Hermansen needed to produce an excellent save to keep out Pervis Estupinan 's fierce drive to the top corner , and then Kaoru Mitoma blazed over when well placed after City gave up possession in their own half . Shortly after , the opening goal came . Lamptey picked up a deep cross and cut inside Ayew , the City attacker not doing to put pressure on the Brighton full-back , who had the space to curl a sumptuous shot to the top corner . In response , City had a strong spell just before the break and Justin went close to an equaliser . He arrived late to meet Victor Kristiansen 's clipped cross with Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen diving to his right to parry it away . City continued that momentum into the second half and looked most likely to get the next goal . Chances were hard to come by though , with a Vardy shot blocked by Jan Paul van Hecke but few other openings otherwise . Substitutes were introduced with Stephy Mavididi and De Cordova-Reid coming on , but still City could n't find a way through . Mavididi could not beat his man regularly and Bilal El Khannouss 's through balls were not finding blue shirts . Then , Brighton countered and got their second . Substitute Minteh beat Victor Kristiansen to a long ball , twisted the Dane inside and out and fired into the bottom corner . It seemed like the game was over . But you never know with this City team . The first goal came out of nothing , De Cordova-Reid 's shot deflecting up and into the path of Vardy , who finished brilliantly first time into the bottom corner . And just as the board went up for five minutes added on , and the crowd roared , the equaliser came . Mavididi poached possession , slipped in Vardy , who had the awareness to lay the ball into De Cordova-Reid for a tap-in and a share of the points . Here 's how we scored the players . Mads Hermansen : He produced an excellent save to keep out Estupinan 's rocket to the top corner , but could not do the same for Lamptey 's curler . His positioning made a few other saves look comfortable before Minteh fired in. 6 James Justin : He was dragged inside defensively , and that saw him give up too much space , with Brighton looking dangerous on back-post crosses . On the ball , there were a few nice passes down the line , but not all of those came off , while he made himself a threat aerially in the first period . 5 Conor Coady : There was a lovely switch of play out to McAteer early on , but his attempts at more adventurous passes did n't always find their target . Defensively , he did n't seem too troubled , mostly due to his good positioning . 6 Jannik Vestergaard : A bit suspect with his passing in the first half , but he grew into the game . He put in some good tackles but was nowhere to be seen for Brighton 's second goal . Still struggles with his pace at times at this level . 6 Victor Kristiansen : On the front foot , he was great . He looked for passes more often and mostly found team-mates ' feet , while he bombed down the left at any opportunity and delivered some really inviting crosses . However , there were a few defensive errors , and he was twisted inside out by Minteh for the second Brighton goal . 6 Wilfred Ndidi : He had a great game , controlling possession and protecting the defence well . It was unfortunate to see him come off injured as his passing was excellent , helping the team to drive forward . 7 Boubakary Soumare : There were few too many misplaced passes in awkward positions in the first half , but he really grew into the game after Ndidi went off . He stamped his authority on the centre of the pitch , moved the ball well and carried it with confidence . 7 Kasey McAteer : He had a bright game , making himself a good option on the wing with his pace and direct play . He showed promise but his end product was relatively disappointing . 6 Bilal El Khannouss : He could n't replicate his performance against West Ham . He had a lot of energy and was finding good positions , but his passing was wayward and he struggled to create chances , his through balls not finding blue shirts . 5 Jordan Ayew : Brought in for Buonanotte , the difference in quality was marked . While the Ghanaian did get back , he did not help defensively , and gifted far too much space to Lamptey for the goal , the Brighton right-back proving too quick for him all afternoon . In attack , he gave the ball away a few times too . 4 Jamie Vardy : He 's come up trumps again . Just when City looked down and out , he ghosted into the perfect position and finishing coolly for the first , and then showed brilliant awareness to set up the equaliser . 8 Oliver Skipp : He ran hard and , once he got up to speed with the game , his link-up play was good too . He slipped a lovely pass into De Cordova-Reid for the first City goal . 7 Stephy Mavididi : He was direct and attacked his full-back , but had little joy in beating him at first . But he persisted and pinched possession before picking out Vardy in a great piece of play for the second goal . 7 Bobby De Cordova-Reid : He was n't involved at first , and his touch was n't great when the ball did come his way . But it was his deflected shot that led to the first goal and he was in the right place at the right time to score the equaliser . 7 Wout Faes : City were on the attack most of the time he was on the pitch , so he did n't have to do a great deal . N/A Patson Daka : There were a few nice touches , but he was n't on the pitch for long . N/A |

Bath Rugby fell to defeat in their first Investec Champions Cup match to two-time champions La Rochelle on Friday night , with a disappointing first 40 minutes leaving the Blue , Black and White with too much to do in the second half . In the swirling wind and the horizontal rain , the Top 14 side took hold of the game in the first half thanks to dominant work from their forward pack , bullying the home side at times with power and precision . Tries from Oscar Jegou , Reda Wardi and Player of the Match Rawera Kerr-Barlow , which were all converted by fly-half Ihaia West , gave the French side a 21-6 halftime lead , with Bath 's only points coming from two penalties courtesy of Finn Russell 's boot . However , the second half was much improved for the home side , playing La Rochelle at their own game and succeeding in a great 20-minute spell , with Tom Dunn and Quinn Roux dotting down for the Blue , Black and White as Russell knocked both conversions over . However , a West penalty gave the French side a four-point lead , and after that , both sides had the opportunity to seal the game , but mistakes from each team crept in as the pressure built . But Bath left themselves with too much to do , and one too many mistakes meant they let the opportunity slip through their fingers as La Rochelle came away with the win . Rugby writer Olly D'Arcy takes a closer look at the individual performances of the Bath players ... 15 Tom de Glanville - 7 A very solid game from De Glanville considering the conditions . He did extremely well under the high ball , making very few mistakes throughout the game . His kicking was also very nice throughout , challenging the La Rochelle backs at every opportunity and winning the territory battle more often than not . While he could not do a lot with the ball in hand as a result of the wind and the rain , he imposed himself very well and was one of the better players for the home side tonight . 14 Joe Cokanasiga - 5 Like Exeter , the big winger did not see any of the ball in the first half , with the Blue , Black and White playing through the backs very rarely due to the conditions . That continued in the second half , and although he tried to get in the game a little bit more by coming off his wing more often to get the ball in his hands , it was not the game for big carries , so he had very little success there as well . A tough day at the office for Cokanasiga . 13 Cam Redpath - 6 The Scottish international returned to the starting XV after coming back from injury , with Ollie Lawrence resting after his international stint . He was used quite frequently as the first receiver in the second half , but as was the case for many others throughout the night , there was little to no joy with big carries , with the La Rochelle defence stifling the Blue , Black and White in the midfield very effectively . It 's nice to see Redpath back , however , and there were plenty of signs to show that he is back to full fitness , which will please many home fans . 12 Will Butt - 6 With Lawrence out , the inside centre continued to hold on to the 12 jersey that he fought for well with some brilliant performances . He was used as the first ball carrier as he looked to break down the La Rochelle defence , but they were well-disciplined and stayed strong in the midfield . He was n't used as much in the second half , and after his red-hot start to the season , he 's cooled off a little bit . But he still packs a lot of quality in his performances week in and week out . 11 Will Muir - 7 ' The Horse ' has been Bath 's secret weapon when it comes to the kicking game , always using his long arms to great effect to win his aerial duels . With the kicking game being used plenty of times as a result of the conditions , he was able to do that a couple of times , although a misfiring Bath could not take advantage of any of these . He had the best break of the entire game , galloping forward 20 or 30 metres to give Bath a great attacking platform , showing how exciting of a player he is by making opportunities out of nothing . He was the most dangerous out of all the backs in the entire game , and that has been the case for many games this season . 10 Finn Russell - 7 With driving winds and horizontal rain hitting the Rec this Friday night , it was always going to be a tricky game for Russell and his wonderous skills to show themselves in abundance like they usually do . He tried to be clever on kick-off with low-driving kicks , but he was at fault for La Rochelle 's third try , stepping too high to easily allow scrum-half Tawera Kerr-Barlow to score and make it 21-6 just after 30 minutes . However , in the second half , there was fantastic poise and control from the Scottish international , and although it was n't enough to steer his side to victory , it was clever rugby in very poor conditions . 9 Louis Schreuder - 7 In a late change to the side , captain and talisman Spencer was ruled out through injury before the teams arrived at the Rec , meaning Schreuder was brought up to start at scrum-half , and Tom Carr-Smith filled in on the bench . Schreuder 's box kicks were sound enough , but there were silly mistakes that crept into his game that kept putting Bath on the back foot , which included a couple of loose passes . But in the second half , along with Russell , his kicking and control of the game were super , and after stepping in at the 11th hour , it was a performance that garnered much praise from Johann van Graan . 1 Thomas du Toit - 7 The South African made a second straight appearance on the loosehead side of the scrum instead of his favoured tighthead position with Beno Obano still out , once again showing his versatility . There was some good work in defence as always to start , but even Du Toit could not stop a potent La Rochelle pack . In the scrum , he won his matchup well against Atonio with multiple penalties , with the Bath scrum the only real joy in the first 40 . He put in some fine work in the second half to bring Bath back in the game , and although he came off a bit earlier than expected , his effect was felt as always . 2 Tom Dunn - 6 Like last weekend against Exeter in the Premiership , there were a couple of loose lineout throws , with one of them giving away a penalty to the French side , who then drove their maul all the way from just inside the 22 to crash over the line to really stamp their authority on the game . Then , a dummy throw from the misfiring lineout gave possession once again inside La Rochelle 's 22 , summing up the Blue , Black and White 's first half as they could n't take their opportunities with silly mistakes . However , when the lineout went to plan in the 22 , Dunn was there to profit off the driving maul , bundling over for the first score in the second half and bringing the Blue , Black and White right back in the game , sparing his blushes from what was a mistake-filled game from the hooker . 3 Will Stuart - 6 Super carry to start the game for the England international , bringing the physicality to the French side as he drove right over his opposite number and man-mountain Uini Atonio . However , the Blue , Black and White were unable to deal with La Rochelle 's back inside the 22 as they were easily knocked back behind the gain line multiple times . In the second half , he tried to impose himself a bit more with the ball in hand , and although the scrum continued to have some success , there was not a lot of freedom in the midfield due to La Rochelle 's stoutness in the midfield , as well as the torrential conditions . 4 Quinn Roux - 7 There were a couple of big hits that came in from the Irish international in the first half , but it did not bring much joy for the Blue , Black and White , as the French side entered the 22 three times , scoring tries at every attempt as they physically dominated the Bath forwards in the midfield . However , the lock profited off a mistake made by Kerr-Barlow to score his try , with the La Rochelle scrum-half scrambling back and missing the ball as he tried to put downward pressure on the ball in their own try area . As a result , Roux came sliding through and brought Bath to within a point . After a quiet game against Exeter last week , the lock was back to his best with a performance that we have seen a lot this season . 5 Charlie Ewels - 6 The lock took the captain 's armband with Spencer out , but even his fantastic leadership qualities were lost on the Bath pack in the first 40 , who were second-best in multiple parts of the game as the Top 14 side took a 15-point lead into the sheds with them at the break . He was able to cause havoc to the lineout for the away side who lost multiple set-pieces in the second 40 . However , Bath just could not take their opportunities with those chances . Ewels was not as prominent as he would have wanted to be , but it was nice to see him back with the armband , especially in a game as crucial as Friday night 's . 6 Ted Hill - 5 Hill has been superb for Bath so far this season , but he kept in check throughout by the away side today . There was very little joy for him in attack , and in defence , especially in the first half , La Rochelle were far too dominant . Although Bath had much more joy in the second 40 , again , there was not a lot of Hill in attack or defence . He was neutralised very well by the French side , and there 's reason to believe that could have been a tactic , as he was kept extremely quiet , and that has been rarely seen since the bak-rower came to the Rec . There will be plenty more European joy for Hill , but Friday night was not his night . 7 Guy Pepper - 6 Last week 's Player of the Match against Exeter did not have as much joy in the first 40 , unable to impose himself in defence or at the breakdown where he has been such a menace so far this year . He was kept in check in the second half as well , but he was right alongside Roux to dot down for Bath 's second try , with the lock just getting ahead of Pepper to get his name on the scoresheet . There were a couple of sublime tackles that came in too in the second 40 , but like Hill , there was little joy for the back-rower . 8 Miles Reid - 6 Reid was once again used as a number eight as we 've seen quite a lot this season as Bath had to deal with injuries to Sam Underhill and Alfie Barbeary . The back-rower was used as the first receiver off the back of the lineout multiple times to try and break down the La Rochelle defence , but as was the case for both sides , there was not a lot of joy carrying the ball . As always , he busied himself at the breakdown , with his sublime jackling ability showing itself once again as he won a couple of penalties . In the second half , he tried to make some more inroads but was unable to break through , and after 56 minutes , his busy night with the ball in hand was done . Replacements : 16 Niall Annett - 5 17 Francois van Wyk - 6 18 Archie Griffin - 6 19 Ross Molony - 6 20 Josh Bayliss - 6 21 Tom Carr-Smith - N/A 22 Max Ojomoh - 6 23 Jaco Coetzee - 7 Story Saved You can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right . |

A 16-year-old girl shared a ' horrifying ' sentence her physical education teacher said to her during class one day - and his ' predatory ' history makes it worse . The anonymous student considered her P.E . teacher ' odd ' and was wary after several seniors warned her to stay away from him . She took to Reddit after noticing a concerning pattern of behaviour where the teacher would stare at her classmates ' chests and backsides while running and unnecessarily touch their shoulders and arms without consent . But alarm bells truly started to go off after she requested to be excused from class because of period pain . ' I have very irregular periods , ' she wrote online .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'ruled her out of participating' which is a different construction where 'out of' is part of the phrasal verb 'rule out', and 'participating' is a gerund functioning as the object of the preposition 'of'. This does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the transitive out of -ing construction.

Because this morning , the Beeb announced its nominees for the main SPOTY award . And while Champions League winner ( but not quite Euro 2024 victor ) Jude Bellingham , Olympic 800m champion Keely Hodgkinson , 17-year-old darts phenom ( but not yet world champion ) Luke Littler , and some cricketer ( Joe Root ) were all accounted for , one name was notably missing from the shortlist . A certain record-breaking Manx Missile . ( Zac Williams/SWpix.com ) Yes , despite Mark Cavendish -- the winner of the ultimately meaningless award back in his world title winning year of 2011 -- roaring to his 35th Tour de France stage victory in July , at the age of 39 , to become the outright most successful stage hunter in the history of his sport 's biggest race , helping him gain a knighthood in the process , there was no space for cycling 's fastest ever sprinter on the BBC 's shortlist . Some are calling it the biggest SPOTY cycling snub since the all-conquering Beryl Burton was barely given a mention during the 1967 coverage of the event , even though she surprised the Beeb 's bigwigs by finishing second to Our ' Enry Cooper in the public vote , despite none of her races being broadcast on television in the UK . ( Okay , I 'm the one calling it that . ) In any case , there 's plenty of cycling fans ( and the occasional MP ) on social media fuming with SPOTY 's glaring Cav omission . " Decent list , but would have had Cavendish on there . Part lifetime achievement but also for the past 12 months . France will be stunned by his omission , " said Steve . " How is there no space on the SPOTY list for Mark Cavendish in a year when he becomes the all-time greatest stage winner of the Tour de France against the odds ; the icing on what was already an incredible sporting comeback ? " asked Conservative Kingston-upon-Thames MP Ben Obese-Jecty . ( Zac Williams/SWpix.com ) Others noted that , while it could be said that Cav 's 2024 -- when considered on its own , compared to some of his other mind-bogglingly successful years -- is n't up to much ( just the one Tour stage ? Pah ! ) , the same accusation could be labelled at England 's record Test run scorer Root . " Root had another excellent year , but not his greatest . If we are doing overall achievement , the lack of a Cavendish vote is crazy , " said another user . ( Ed Sykes/SWpix.com ) But before we sharpen our pitchforks and head on down to Broadcasting House just yet , cycling did at least make it on to the SPOTY shortlist , courtesy of the Burton-esque Dame Sarah Storey , who dominated at the Paris Paralympics to secure the 18th and 19th golds , and 29th and 30th medals , of one of the greatest sporting careers of all time . At the age of 47 , Storey just kept adding to her glistening palmares , winning the road race and time trial gold at the para-cycling worlds for a stunning tenth time , to bring her rainbow jersey tally to 39 . Yes , 39 world titles -- not even the BBC could ignore that . Oh , and Olympic and world triathlon champion Alex Yee has also been nominated , after his thrilling suspense-laden win in Paris . So that counts as a third of a nominee for cycling too , right ? 17:02 87 used pro bikes are currently being auctioned off , and some of the prices are tempting ( save for the ? 400- ? 700 shipping costs ) We 'll be covering this in a bit more detail on a couple of fronts later in the week ( yep , we have noticed that saddle tilt ) but just so you know , MatchWornShirt ( should n't that be ' MatchWornShirtandBikes ' ? ? ) are currently auctioning off a number of top-end bikes as used by WorldTour pros . With four days to go , bikes like Vingegaard 's Cerv ? lo S5 ( 51cm ) and Thomas 's Pinarello Dogma F ( 56cm ) have high bids of ? 5,473 and ? 3,732 respectively , relative bargains compared to what they might be worth from new ; although the high bids have gone up considerably since we checked this morning . Further down there 's even bigger potential steals , such as Sylvain Moniquet 's Orbea Orca Aero OMX bidding at ? 1,836 ... although it 's worth adding that the shipping prices appear to be set at a minimum of ? 450 to the UK , and as high as ? 700 for some bikes . Best make sure you 've factored that in before joining the auction ... " In almost 20 years , nothing has improved " : Dame Sarah Storey says her 100/1 odds for Sports Personality of the Year are due to lack of TV coverage and the UCI 's failure to promote para-cycling -- which " disappears for four years " While much of the furore within the cycling world surrounding this year 's BBC Sports Personality of the Year shortlist focused on Mark Cavendish 's glaring absence , the one cyclist who did get nominated -- record-smashing Paralympic legend Dame Sarah Storey -- has been ranked a 100/1 outsider by bookmakers to scoop the prize . And in a strikingly similar situation to Beryl Burton back in the 1960s , whose groundbreaking achievements were largely ignored by the UK press , those lowly odds , Storey says , are an indictment of the UCI 's inability to properly promote para-cycling , a branch of the sport the 47-year-old claims " disappears " from public view between each Paralympics . Storey has reached the SPOTY shortlist for the fourth time in her long , illustrious career , after securing her 18th and 19th Paralympic gold medals in Paris , before following that up with her 28th and 29th world titles . ( Alex Whitehead/SWpix.com ) " I won four gold medals in 24 days in September 2024 and this is the fourth time I 've been on the list , " she told the Telegraph today . " So maybe someone with a crystal ball will tell me whether all those ' fours ' means it 's a good thing . " However , Storey , who doubles up as Greater Manchester 's Active Travel Commissioner , believes her often lowly positions in the public Sports Personality vote over the years are a reflection of the lack of coverage and support her sport receives . " I think we do n't get enough coverage between Games , " she says . " Para-sport disappears for the four years in between . There is n't sufficient funding and support for any of the para-athletes -- maybe except tennis -- for athletes to be professional athletes . So , the vast majority of para-athletes will have a job of some kind , will be doing some work alongside . " We have to train like we 're full-time , we have to deliver the performances as though we 're full-time . But we do n't get the coverage to bring the finance into the sport that we need to deliver that professional level . And it 's really , really challenging . " " You only have to look at comments when I was found to be out of Dancing on Ice , " she said , referencing the recently fractured ankle that ruled her out of participating in the celebrity skating programme in the new year . " People were like , ' Well , who is she ? Hopefully , she 's replaced with someone who 's more well-known ' . And that just says a lot , does n't it ? People do n't see para sport on the TV enough to know who their most successful athlete is . " Asked how she would change this situation , Storey said : " " I would make sure that we utilise some of the coffers that are in there , in the international governing bodies , to start to speculate to accumulate on the coverage front . We need to see the event at the highest level -- world championships , World Cup events -- on the TV . We need to see that streamed with proper coverage . " At the moment , you have to work really hard to find out who 's done what . And even when I 'm following my own sport and I know where to look for it , it 's not well laid out , it 's not well done . " So , when you look at the way the UCI do things , the only reason we got coverage at the World Championships in Zurich was because we happened to be part of the event where the able-bodied riders were . If we were stand-alone , like it will be next year in Belgium , I can almost guarantee the coverage will be nothing like what we experienced in Zurich . ( Ed Sykes/SWpix.com ) " The UCI have had hold of para-cycling since 2006-2007 . So , in almost 20 years , very little has improved . " Those integrated events are really important . And I think once we 've got coverage , once we 've got a narrative in between the Paralympic Games , we start to see those personalities coming out . " Many people have , more than once , assumed that I 've retired . And they were very surprised and pleased to see that I was selected again for another Games . So , I think it 's really important that people do n't make that assumption just because they have n't seen you race on TV . " 16:34 Eddy Merckx breaks hip and will need an artificial one after bike crash , according to reports Acccording to Sporza , 79-year-old Merckx came off his bike while going over a railway crossing in Hombeek . He was taken to hospital immediately when it became clear he was in a lot of pain and had broken his hip in the fall . Merckx 's sister told Sporza that her sibling will need to undergo surgery and requires " a new artificial hip " . Here 's hoping The Cannibal 's surgery goes well and he 's back on the bike soon . 09:00 " Slow down the bikes to save lives , it 's the only solution " : Cycling team boss calls for bike tech safety restrictions and asks , " Is a race at an average of 48kph less exciting than one at 55kph ? " While Katy Marchant 's horror crash at the Lee Valley Velodrome on Saturday night appears to have reignited the debate on track racing safety protocols -- particularly when it comes to trackside barriers seemingly ' protecting ' spectators from the action on the boards -- cycling 's decision makers also continue to be locked in an ongoing discussion about safety on the road . The outspoken French manager 's suggestion , which he says could emulate Formula 1 by " saving lives " while not hindering the spectacle on display , comes just two weeks after Tour de France director Christian Prudhomme argued that crashes such as the one in the Basque Country in April -- which left two-time Tour winner Jonas Vingegaard with serious injuries , hindering his eventual yellow jersey defence -- are caused by riders " going too fast " . Speaking at the annual general assembly of the association of race organisers ( AIOCC ) in Italy , Prudhomme said : " Beyond the behaviour of the athletes and the work of the organisers , it is absolutely necessary to reduce speed by appropriate measures : the riders are going too fast . " The faster they go , the greater the risk and the more they endanger themselves and others . " We already said it here last year : our car and motorbike drivers no longer have a safety margin ! Imagine the consequences if one of our drivers , subjected to too much pressure , lost control on a mountain descent or when racing through a built-up area . " And while the Tour director 's stance has drawn criticism from the likes of EF Education-EasyPost manager Jonathan Vaughters , who branded the comments " absolutely infuriating " and dismissed Prudhomme as one of the sport 's " fat cats who have never raced so much as a child 's tricycle " , it has nevertheless attracted some degree of support from Vaughters ' fellow team bosses , namely Groupama-FDJ chief Marc Madiot . Marc Madiot ( ASO/Pauline Ballet ) In an interview with Le Parisien , Madiot , who 's managed the French squad since 1997 , said that slowing down the technology on offer is key to creating a safer environment who " do n't want to understand " the inherent risks they face during races . The great leap forward in bike technology over the past decade -- which promoted one smiling French " champion " to tell Le Parisien that the bikes " almost ride by themselves " these days -- and its effect on safety was also noted by France 's philosopher cyclist Guillaume Martin , who 's set to move to Madiot 's Groupama-FDJ team in 2025 after five years at Cofidis . " The equipment allows you to go faster , " Martin told the paper . " I have the impression that the bikes break every time you fall , which means they are more violent . ( ASO/Billy Ceusters ) " We can do like in F1 where everyone has the same tyres . That way we would n't have any differences in grip . We can choose a brand that is n't hyper-efficient with tyres that make you go a little slower . From one tyre to another , the speed can vary by 3kph . " Meanwhile , other suggestions for reducing speed , such as increasing the UCI 's 6.8kg minimum weight for bikes , were dismissed as " stupid " by Groupama-FDJ 's performance director Fr ? d ? ric Grappe . " Heavier , the bikes would go faster downhill . There are other avenues , however , " Grappe said , before calling on cycling 's governing body to act on certain aero-focused rider positions on the bike . " The centre of gravity has been moved forward , " he said . " The saddles are too high and the handlebars too low . As a result , riders ' arms are too straight and they can no longer bend their elbows when it comes to reacting quickly to a problem . " Seeing riders skidding off the front wheel on a descent is completely abnormal . Everything is done to get themselves into trouble . " Smaller handlebars are also making turning more complicated . And another consequence is that , in a peloton , the guys are closer together . That increases the danger . " ( SprintCyclingAgency ) Also speaking to Le Parisien , Kiko Garcia , the general director of the International Association of Cycle Race Organisers , argued that a " lot of things are possible " on the bike tech front to help make the sport safer . " We race organisers ca n't secure everything and we ask for help from the bicycle industry and other bicycle families , " he said . " But the very good news is that equipment manufacturers are not at all closed to the idea of ? ? building slightly slower bikes . The will is common . I 'm sure that changes will be decided soon . " 15:05 Tom Pidcock set to continue to ride Pinarello bikes off-road next year , despite switch to Scott-backed Q36.5 team The intrigue surrounding Tom Pidcock 's move to Q36.5 shows no signs of abating , as Pinarello announced this afternoon that the double Olympic champion will continue to ride the Italian brand 's bikes off-road -- despite his switch to the Scott-backed Swiss outfit . " Pinarello is pleased to confirm Tom Pidcock will continue riding and helping to develop its flagship off-road bikes for the next three years following his move from Ineos Grenadiers to the Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team , " Pinarello said in a statement today . ( Alex Whitehead/SWpix.com ) The announcement means that the 25-year-old will race on the brand 's Dogma XC mountain bike , which was developed for both Pidcock and Pauline Ferrand-Pr ? vot ahead of their Olympic success in Paris this year . He 'll also still be riding the Crossista F during cyclocross races , and the Grevil F if he chooses to take part in any gravel events . The only times Pidcock wo n't be seen on a Pinarello , the company says , is when he 's racing on the road for Q36.5 , when he 'll be riding a Scott . " We 're thrilled to confirm Tom will continue racing on our cyclocross , cross country mountain bike , and gravel bikes , " Fausto Pinarello said in a statement . " He is an amazing rider with phenomenal technical skills and it 's been a pleasure working with him on the Crossista and Dogma XC , both models in segments where we had n't had bikes for a long time . " Tom is a rider who knows what he wants . His unwavering pursuit of excellence has challenged us a lot and enabled us to produce three incredible frames which he 's ridden to success on the grandest stages in the sport . We are delighted to keep this successful collaboration alive . " ( Simon Wilkinson/SWpix.com ) Meanwhile , Pidcock himself said : " Working with Fausto and the team at Pinarello over the past four years has been a privilege , and a really enjoyable experience . I am so happy I get to stay working with them on everything off-road moving forwards . " So far , we have developed three cyclocross and XC MTB frames together and all of them exceeded expectations from the moment I sat on them , I could not have asked for more . I felt so confident on them that I was able to race and win after the first couple of rides . " To me , our relationship feels more like a partnership than a sponsorship . I 'm looking forward to the next three years of racing and developing more great bikes with Pinarello . " While the prospect of Pidcock racing on both Pinarello and Scott bikes next year , depending on the discipline , may seem odd at first , it makes a lot of sense when you delve into Q36.5 's ownership . The Swiss-registered team is backed by South African mining billionaire Ivan Glasenberg -- who just so happened to have bought a majority stake in Pinarello last June . And with Scott 's partnership with Q36.5 set to expire at the end of 2025 , it may only be a matter of time before Pidcock is back riding a Pinarello on the road , too . 14:26 " Paris-Roubaix is not too difficult " : Tom Boonen says he 's " 100 per cent convinced " Tadej Pogacar can win the Hell of the North -- but fellow four-time winner Roger De Vlaeminck says Slovenian 's long-range attacks would never have been allowed in the 1970s I do n't know what they put in those cobblestone trophies , but it seems to make you obsessed with Tadej Pogacar . Because the two men who hold the joint record for the most Paris-Roubaix victories , Tom Boonen and Roger De Vlaeminck , ca n't stop talking about the Triple Crown-winning Slovenian . At the Velo d'Or awards on Friday , where Pogacar claimed the titular award for best male rider in the world , as well as the Eddy Merckx Trophy for his classics success in 2024 , Belgian legend Boonen told the crowd he was " 100 per cent " convinced the three-time Tour de France winner could rewrite the rules of the sport by becoming the first rider since Bernard Hinault to win both the Tour and Paris-Roubaix -- the only monument Pogacar is yet to tackle ( though he 's also still waiting to break his duck at Milan-Sanremo , of course ) . " I am 100 per cent convinced he can win it , " the 44-year-old , who matched De Vlaeminck 's record tally of four wins at the Hell of the North , said at the awards ceremony . " He is one of those riders who can handle a bike well , he can do everything with a bike . And Paris-Roubaix is ? ? not too difficult . It is just about riding fast on the cobblestones and taking the wind into account . But if he ca n't win it , who can ? " Pogacar , for his part , brushed off Boonen 's lofty expectations in his usual dry manner . " Try to avoid the big rocks as much as possible . Use the side of the road and everything will be fine ! " the Slovenian laughed . " It 's easy for him ! " But while Boonen is confident Pogacar can push his career to even greater heights by winning all five monuments , Monsieur Paris -- Roubaix himself , De Vlaeminck , does n't seem to be as in thrall to the Slovenian as the rest of the cycling world . " I do n't want to give interviews anymore after which everyone thinks I 'm the bad guy , " the 77-year-old , who was one of Eddy Merckx 's biggest rivals in their 1970s heyday , continued . " But I do n't want to lie either . Eddy Merckx says that Pogacar is better than him , but I totally disagree . He 's the best right now , I can hardly enjoy it because of that . " I wonder : who is the opposition . Remco Evenepoel and Jonas Vingegaard , but he only rides the Tour . Come on guys ... " It could be that Pogacar will become the fourth rider ever to win the five Monuments . He only has Milan-Sanremo and Paris-Roubaix to go . " But then you have to look at who the opponents were . Where are the Italians ? The Francesco Mosers , Felice Gimondis and Franco Bitossis that we had to ride against ? Can you name one good Italian rider at the moment ? " Stereotypically harsh from De Vlaeminck ... But fair ? Of course , the Van der Poels , Pedersens , and Van Aerts of the current peloton will have plenty to say about both Pogacar 's chances of winning Sanremo and Roubaix , as well as the depth of the class of 2024 . It looks like Oxford Green Party councillor Emily Kerr has upped the stakes , however , by transporting Father Christmas himself by bike : Arguably my favourite bike passenger ever . I see everyone 's #treebybike and raise you " Santa " . Had such fun today in storm Darragh as our community really came together for our local street fair despite the weather . Feel very lucky to live here . #SantaByBike Nice to see Kevin the Carrot doing a bit of cameo work alongside Roglic there -- I hope that does n't break his Aldi contract ... 11:58 " It 's a bit of a sour apple to bite financially " : Cyclocross stars rue cost of cancelled World Cup race in Sardinia as massive storm with 90kph winds leaves course in tatters and lightning strike burns down press tent It looks like the cyclocross weather gods got their weekends mixed up this season . Because , after the benign and pleasantly warm conditions which greeted the riders in Dublin at the start of the month , Sunday 's planned World Cup round on the Italian island of Sardinia was subjected to a massive storm that ultimately forced the organisers to cancel the elite men 's and women 's race on safety grounds . The cancellation came after gusts of between 65 and 90kph ravaged the coastal course in Cabras -- which was set to host a World Cup event for the first time -- on Saturday night and Sunday morning , leaving barriers , tents , and portable toilets littered across the course . The makeshift press tent , which the organisers transport to different venues , and which includes a bar and dining facilities , was also struck by lightning overnight , setting it on fire . Faced with the treacherous conditions , and with the threat of 100kph winds to come , on Sunday morning the round 's organising committee consulted with local authorities , World Cup organisers Flanders Classics , the riders , and the UCI before deciding to pull the pin , while ruling out the possibility that the event could be rescheduled before the end of the season . " The safety of the riders , staff , volunteers , and the public could not be assured , " the UCI said in a statement . " Ensuring the safety of our athletes , fans and all personnel remains our utmost priority as we make this necessary decision . " However , with the World Cup now venturing far beyond cyclocross ' northern European heartland , the riders were left rueing the cost of an ultimately fruitless trip to Italy . " It 's a bit of a sour apple to bite financially , " Eli Iserbyt , who would have been one of the riders most in danger of being blown away by the strong winds , told Sporza . " I think every rider has invested about 1,000 to 1,500 euros to be here . That is difficult to recover . " I weigh 55 kilograms and with my bike and my rims it would be very difficult to stay upright here . I think I was going to have to hold on to my bike well . " " I think cancelling is the only right option , no matter how hard it is for the organisers , " added Dublin winner Michael Vanthourenhout . " Once you get here , you know that racing is not feasible . " It 's already difficult to just stay upright . Everyone has made an effort to get here , also financially . I think that today only safety should play a role . " Meanwhile , Toon Aerts -- who took his first World Cup podium in Dublin since returning from a doping ban -- said of the financial hit of travelling to Italy : " Yes , it did cost some money . That 's just the way it is . We will have to earn that back at another time . " Just staying straight with the bike would be super difficult . It 's a shame , because it 's a very nice location here . I was looking forward to it . It was a nice lap . Anyway , we have to accept this . I think cancelling is also for our own good . " 12:39 Meanwhile , in ' sunny ' Spain ... ? ? Livestream Ziklo Kros Igorre ? ? ? ? The cyclocross race you need this weekend . Good battle between ? ? ? ? Anton Ferdinande and Yorben Lauryssen . Now , Prudhomme , there 's an idea -- bring back the combined classification . Pogacar would win it every year , of course , but at least the jersey would look cool . And while you 're at it , bring back the white leader 's jersey for Paris-Nice ... 10:29 " And there we have it , what was left of Colnago 's soul is gone " : Horrified cyclists react to Colnago 's new aero road bike -- and brand it the " ugliest bike on the WorldTour " Well , despite all our combined prayers , it turns out the leaks were -- unbelievably -- right . " Good call from someone at Colnago to do the promo shots based on painting the rear black and photographing it in the dark against a black back drop . It 's almost like they 're trying to hide it , " said Mark , who could be on to something there . " And there we have it , what was left of Colnago 's soul is gone , " added Ryan " Colnagos used to be works of art , not this time , " agreed George . " Definitely the ugliest bike on the WorldTour , quite the achievement , " said another Facebook user . Meanwhile , most of you were busy working out what brands , other than Colnago , were actually behind the Y1Rs . " Looks like a cut and shut job , " said one Instagram user . " Front end of a Cerv ? lo . Back end of a Madone or Foil .

After boarding a wrong bus at the world championships and ruining a good pair of jeans at the cyclocross , he now serves as road.cc 's senior news writer . Before his foray into cycling journalism , he wallowed in the equally pitiless world of academia , where he wrote a book about Victorian politics and droned on about cycling and bikes to classes of bored students ( while taking every chance he could get to talk about cycling in print or on the radio ) . He can be found riding his bike very slowly around the narrow , scenic country lanes of Co . Down . Could the UCI mandate a minimum tyre width ? say 35mm , it 'd increase the grip , be slightly heavier and less aero without massively changing the way the bikes ride . Still leaves the space for different brands to sponsor teams , and is pretty simple to enforce . The majority of the safety issues are course design/setup related , so they should probably address those first , but if they want to be seen to be doing something to slow the riders down then that could work . Tyre width is not a straightforward correlation . On certain road surfaces ( such as the UK , which is usually relatively course ) , rolling resistance is reduced with a wider tyre requiring lower pressure . If the tyre width gets up around 30mm , frame redesign would be required . Making riders use inner tubes might be a better option as it would increase weight and moment of inertia , as well as reducing catastrophic punctures . However you would probably only reduce speed by about 1-2 mph . I agree that course design is likely to be the best to tackle . Narrow tyres could have more grip on bends because a smaller area is in contact with the road , so there is more weight on this area , making the tyre dig into the road , especially on warm days . Also , riders take more risks when wearing helmets because they feel safer . Let them go as fast as they want , but put them in a moto GP suit and full face helmets ! Alternatively a full set of downhill MTB pads if the leathers are to restrictive give them the non-aero goggles too . If everyone has the same handycap it 's still a test of who 's the better athlete ? Switch to trophy trucks mate . F1 ai n't nothing next to those aussies . Still comes across as a proper hold-my-beer sport ( at least if you go by the gut size of some of the drivers ) . Whoever thought to put massive metal jumps on the circuit ... genius ... if u have n't seen them specifically I highly suggest a look on YouTube ... Re slowing professional bikes down . A lot of the serious crashes occur in sprint stages . I think race organisers need to stop introducing downhill sections , sharp bends , restrictions , or chicanes in the last few hundred metres of such stages . " We already said it here last year : our car and motorbike drivers no longer have a safety margin ! Imagine the consequences if one of our drivers , subjected to too much pressure , lost control on a mountain descent or when racing through a built-up area . " Can someone explain this to me . We 'd never ( ? ) say that drivers no longer had a safety margin , " in the wild " : we 'd just say that they were n't leaving a decent gap or were close passing . Surely the support cars should n't be that close to the riders , if they 're concerned about the safety margin ? It is not important . Cavendish was well paid throughout his career . He has been lauded by the people who matter : his peers , contemporaries , and dedicated cycling fans . That Joe Bloggs is shown a two-minute VT about some runner or footballer or cricketer and not a cyclist wo n't make one iota of difference to the popularity of cycling as a sport or the safety of cyclists on the road . Is n't the claim about rider positioning and higher speeds somewhat undermined by the fact that we very rarely see crashes in dry time trials , even though they are riding faster and less manoeuverable bikes with poorer visibility ? I 'm fairly convinced that a lot of the problems arise from the extreme youth of many riders nowadays , so they are coming into top-flight races without the requisite experience to stay safe riding at high speeds in a pro peloton ; that 's alongside the number of riders who are coming in from other sports or even Esports ( Zwift champions et cetera ) who seem to be given places based solely on their power numbers rather than all-round cycling skill . Perhaps the UCI should run a compulsory training course on race skills for all new riders run by experienced former professionals that has to be passed before a racing licence is awarded ? The other thing that I believe would hugely improve safety would be a version of the safety car concept as used in motor racing , e.g. if a steep descent has been made dangerous by rain then a commissaire car/motorbike should neutralise the race and this should be communicated to all riders ( a good reason for retaining race radio ) and slow it right down until they reach safer terrain . Possibly when they do so any riders who had a lead over the summit could be released first so they would n't lose their advantage , although not sure how realistic that would be logistically . There 's rumours Sir Mark is getting a lifetime achievement prize , not that it should exclude him from the main prize imo . But its a joke of a list , again , the guy who actually beat the darts kid to the world championship and won stack full this year , ranked number 1 in the world , does n't even make the list as he predicted . But its a joke of a list , again , the guy who actually beat the darts kid to the world championship and won stack full this year , ranked number 1 in the world , does n't even make the list as he predicted . From Wikipedia : " The panel produces a shortlist that reflects UK sporting achievements on the national and/or international stage , represents the breadth and depth of UK sports and takes into account ' impact ' within and beyond the sport or sporting achievement in question . " That last clause is the key , someone like Luke Littler has clearly had a massive impact on the public consciousness to the extent that even someone who does n't follow darts like yours truly knows his name , I ca n't tell you the name of the other person to whom you are referring . Similarly , if it just went on sheer sporting excellence in the calendar year then Harry Brook should be the cricketer nominated , not Joe Root . Ironically that criteria makes it more surprising , rather than less , that Mark is n't included , but on the general point it does n't make the list a joke just because not every nominee is the world #1 . Wikipedia also states its an award for sporting excellence , I just do nt see how they picked the runner up from the biggest darts competition in the year , whilst completely overlooking the actual winner . anyway ITV have put out an alternate SPOTY list which seems alot more grounded in reality . I think a lifetime award is more appropriate for Mark Cavendish . He won one stage of the TDF , which is no more impressive than other UK cyclists such as Sarah Storey or Tom Pidcock . Joe Root had a terrific summer , but poor series in Pakistan . Maybe Gus Atkinson would be a better cricket nomination . However , I think Keeley Hodgkinson is the one sportsperson who has been outstanding in her field and performed brilliantly in every race she ran . They did the same to Nicole Cook , she was the world number 1 and won the women 's Tour de France - the final list was 20 so the BBC made it 21 and included Nicole on the list at the last moment , nobody at BBC had any idea who she was and she was the world number1 ! |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'ruled her out of participating' which is a different construction where 'out of' is part of a phrasal verb 'rule out', and 'participating' is a gerund functioning as the object of the preposition 'of'. There is no causer-causee relationship, and it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Because this morning , the Beeb announced its nominees for the main SPOTY award . And while Champions League winner ( but not quite Euro 2024 victor ) Jude Bellingham , Olympic 800m champion Keely Hodgkinson , 17-year-old darts phenom ( but not yet world champion ) Luke Littler , and some cricketer ( Joe Root ) were all accounted for , one name was notably missing from the shortlist . A certain record-breaking Manx Missile . ( Zac Williams/SWpix.com ) Yes , despite Mark Cavendish -- the winner of the ultimately meaningless award back in his world title winning year of 2011 -- roaring to his 35th Tour de France stage victory in July , at the age of 39 , to become the outright most successful stage hunter in the history of his sport 's biggest race , helping him gain a knighthood in the process , there was no space for cycling 's fastest ever sprinter on the BBC 's shortlist . Some are calling it the biggest SPOTY cycling snub since the all-conquering Beryl Burton was barely given a mention during the 1967 coverage of the event , even though she surprised the Beeb 's bigwigs by finishing second to Our ' Enry Cooper in the public vote , despite none of her races being broadcast on television in the UK . ( Okay , I 'm the one calling it that . ) In any case , there 's plenty of cycling fans ( and the occasional MP ) on social media fuming with SPOTY 's glaring Cav omission . " Decent list , but would have had Cavendish on there . Part lifetime achievement but also for the past 12 months . France will be stunned by his omission , " said Steve . " How is there no space on the SPOTY list for Mark Cavendish in a year when he becomes the all-time greatest stage winner of the Tour de France against the odds ; the icing on what was already an incredible sporting comeback ? " asked Conservative Kingston-upon-Thames MP Ben Obese-Jecty . ( Zac Williams/SWpix.com ) Others noted that , while it could be said that Cav 's 2024 -- when considered on its own , compared to some of his other mind-bogglingly successful years -- is n't up to much ( just the one Tour stage ? Pah ! ) , the same accusation could be labelled at England 's record Test run scorer Root . " Root had another excellent year , but not his greatest . If we are doing overall achievement , the lack of a Cavendish vote is crazy , " said another user . ( Ed Sykes/SWpix.com ) But before we sharpen our pitchforks and head on down to Broadcasting House just yet , cycling did at least make it on to the SPOTY shortlist , courtesy of the Burton-esque Dame Sarah Storey , who dominated at the Paris Paralympics to secure the 18th and 19th golds , and 29th and 30th medals , of one of the greatest sporting careers of all time . At the age of 47 , Storey just kept adding to her glistening palmares , winning the road race and time trial gold at the para-cycling worlds for a stunning tenth time , to bring her rainbow jersey tally to 39 . Yes , 39 world titles -- not even the BBC could ignore that . Oh , and Olympic and world triathlon champion Alex Yee has also been nominated , after his thrilling suspense-laden win in Paris . So that counts as a third of a nominee for cycling too , right ? 17:02 87 used pro bikes are currently being auctioned off , and some of the prices are tempting ( save for the ? 400- ? 700 shipping costs ) We 'll be covering this in a bit more detail on a couple of fronts later in the week ( yep , we have noticed that saddle tilt ) but just so you know , MatchWornShirt ( should n't that be ' MatchWornShirtandBikes ' ? ? ) are currently auctioning off a number of top-end bikes as used by WorldTour pros . With four days to go , bikes like Vingegaard 's Cerv ? lo S5 ( 51cm ) and Thomas 's Pinarello Dogma F ( 56cm ) have high bids of ? 5,473 and ? 3,732 respectively , relative bargains compared to what they might be worth from new ; although the high bids have gone up considerably since we checked this morning . Further down there 's even bigger potential steals , such as Sylvain Moniquet 's Orbea Orca Aero OMX bidding at ? 1,836 ... although it 's worth adding that the shipping prices appear to be set at a minimum of ? 450 to the UK , and as high as ? 700 for some bikes . Best make sure you 've factored that in before joining the auction ... " In almost 20 years , nothing has improved " : Dame Sarah Storey says her 100/1 odds for Sports Personality of the Year are due to lack of TV coverage and the UCI 's failure to promote para-cycling -- which " disappears for four years " While much of the furore within the cycling world surrounding this year 's BBC Sports Personality of the Year shortlist focused on Mark Cavendish 's glaring absence , the one cyclist who did get nominated -- record-smashing Paralympic legend Dame Sarah Storey -- has been ranked a 100/1 outsider by bookmakers to scoop the prize . And in a strikingly similar situation to Beryl Burton back in the 1960s , whose groundbreaking achievements were largely ignored by the UK press , those lowly odds , Storey says , are an indictment of the UCI 's inability to properly promote para-cycling , a branch of the sport the 47-year-old claims " disappears " from public view between each Paralympics . Storey has reached the SPOTY shortlist for the fourth time in her long , illustrious career , after securing her 18th and 19th Paralympic gold medals in Paris , before following that up with her 28th and 29th world titles . ( Alex Whitehead/SWpix.com ) " I won four gold medals in 24 days in September 2024 and this is the fourth time I 've been on the list , " she told the Telegraph today . " So maybe someone with a crystal ball will tell me whether all those ' fours ' means it 's a good thing . " However , Storey , who doubles up as Greater Manchester 's Active Travel Commissioner , believes her often lowly positions in the public Sports Personality vote over the years are a reflection of the lack of coverage and support her sport receives . " I think we do n't get enough coverage between Games , " she says . " Para-sport disappears for the four years in between . There is n't sufficient funding and support for any of the para-athletes -- maybe except tennis -- for athletes to be professional athletes . So , the vast majority of para-athletes will have a job of some kind , will be doing some work alongside . " We have to train like we 're full-time , we have to deliver the performances as though we 're full-time . But we do n't get the coverage to bring the finance into the sport that we need to deliver that professional level . And it 's really , really challenging . " " You only have to look at comments when I was found to be out of Dancing on Ice , " she said , referencing the recently fractured ankle that ruled her out of participating in the celebrity skating programme in the new year . " People were like , ' Well , who is she ? Hopefully , she 's replaced with someone who 's more well-known ' . And that just says a lot , does n't it ? People do n't see para sport on the TV enough to know who their most successful athlete is . " Asked how she would change this situation , Storey said : " " I would make sure that we utilise some of the coffers that are in there , in the international governing bodies , to start to speculate to accumulate on the coverage front . We need to see the event at the highest level -- world championships , World Cup events -- on the TV . We need to see that streamed with proper coverage . " At the moment , you have to work really hard to find out who 's done what . And even when I 'm following my own sport and I know where to look for it , it 's not well laid out , it 's not well done . " So , when you look at the way the UCI do things , the only reason we got coverage at the World Championships in Zurich was because we happened to be part of the event where the able-bodied riders were . If we were stand-alone , like it will be next year in Belgium , I can almost guarantee the coverage will be nothing like what we experienced in Zurich . ( Ed Sykes/SWpix.com ) " The UCI have had hold of para-cycling since 2006-2007 . So , in almost 20 years , very little has improved . " Those integrated events are really important . And I think once we 've got coverage , once we 've got a narrative in between the Paralympic Games , we start to see those personalities coming out . " Many people have , more than once , assumed that I 've retired . And they were very surprised and pleased to see that I was selected again for another Games . So , I think it 's really important that people do n't make that assumption just because they have n't seen you race on TV . " 16:34 Eddy Merckx breaks hip and will need an artificial one after bike crash , according to reports Acccording to Sporza , 79-year-old Merckx came off his bike while going over a railway crossing in Hombeek . He was taken to hospital immediately when it became clear he was in a lot of pain and had broken his hip in the fall . Merckx 's sister told Sporza that her sibling will need to undergo surgery and requires " a new artificial hip " . Here 's hoping The Cannibal 's surgery goes well and he 's back on the bike soon . 09:00 " Slow down the bikes to save lives , it 's the only solution " : Cycling team boss calls for bike tech safety restrictions and asks , " Is a race at an average of 48kph less exciting than one at 55kph ? " While Katy Marchant 's horror crash at the Lee Valley Velodrome on Saturday night appears to have reignited the debate on track racing safety protocols -- particularly when it comes to trackside barriers seemingly ' protecting ' spectators from the action on the boards -- cycling 's decision makers also continue to be locked in an ongoing discussion about safety on the road . The outspoken French manager 's suggestion , which he says could emulate Formula 1 by " saving lives " while not hindering the spectacle on display , comes just two weeks after Tour de France director Christian Prudhomme argued that crashes such as the one in the Basque Country in April -- which left two-time Tour winner Jonas Vingegaard with serious injuries , hindering his eventual yellow jersey defence -- are caused by riders " going too fast " . Speaking at the annual general assembly of the association of race organisers ( AIOCC ) in Italy , Prudhomme said : " Beyond the behaviour of the athletes and the work of the organisers , it is absolutely necessary to reduce speed by appropriate measures : the riders are going too fast . " The faster they go , the greater the risk and the more they endanger themselves and others . " We already said it here last year : our car and motorbike drivers no longer have a safety margin ! Imagine the consequences if one of our drivers , subjected to too much pressure , lost control on a mountain descent or when racing through a built-up area . " And while the Tour director 's stance has drawn criticism from the likes of EF Education-EasyPost manager Jonathan Vaughters , who branded the comments " absolutely infuriating " and dismissed Prudhomme as one of the sport 's " fat cats who have never raced so much as a child 's tricycle " , it has nevertheless attracted some degree of support from Vaughters ' fellow team bosses , namely Groupama-FDJ chief Marc Madiot . Marc Madiot ( ASO/Pauline Ballet ) In an interview with Le Parisien , Madiot , who 's managed the French squad since 1997 , said that slowing down the technology on offer is key to creating a safer environment who " do n't want to understand " the inherent risks they face during races . The great leap forward in bike technology over the past decade -- which promoted one smiling French " champion " to tell Le Parisien that the bikes " almost ride by themselves " these days -- and its effect on safety was also noted by France 's philosopher cyclist Guillaume Martin , who 's set to move to Madiot 's Groupama-FDJ team in 2025 after five years at Cofidis . " The equipment allows you to go faster , " Martin told the paper . " I have the impression that the bikes break every time you fall , which means they are more violent . ( ASO/Billy Ceusters ) " We can do like in F1 where everyone has the same tyres . That way we would n't have any differences in grip . We can choose a brand that is n't hyper-efficient with tyres that make you go a little slower . From one tyre to another , the speed can vary by 3kph . " Meanwhile , other suggestions for reducing speed , such as increasing the UCI 's 6.8kg minimum weight for bikes , were dismissed as " stupid " by Groupama-FDJ 's performance director Fr ? d ? ric Grappe . " Heavier , the bikes would go faster downhill . There are other avenues , however , " Grappe said , before calling on cycling 's governing body to act on certain aero-focused rider positions on the bike . " The centre of gravity has been moved forward , " he said . " The saddles are too high and the handlebars too low . As a result , riders ' arms are too straight and they can no longer bend their elbows when it comes to reacting quickly to a problem . " Seeing riders skidding off the front wheel on a descent is completely abnormal . Everything is done to get themselves into trouble . " Smaller handlebars are also making turning more complicated . And another consequence is that , in a peloton , the guys are closer together . That increases the danger . " ( SprintCyclingAgency ) Also speaking to Le Parisien , Kiko Garcia , the general director of the International Association of Cycle Race Organisers , argued that a " lot of things are possible " on the bike tech front to help make the sport safer . " We race organisers ca n't secure everything and we ask for help from the bicycle industry and other bicycle families , " he said . " But the very good news is that equipment manufacturers are not at all closed to the idea of ? ? building slightly slower bikes . The will is common . I 'm sure that changes will be decided soon . " 15:05 Tom Pidcock set to continue to ride Pinarello bikes off-road next year , despite switch to Scott-backed Q36.5 team The intrigue surrounding Tom Pidcock 's move to Q36.5 shows no signs of abating , as Pinarello announced this afternoon that the double Olympic champion will continue to ride the Italian brand 's bikes off-road -- despite his switch to the Scott-backed Swiss outfit . " Pinarello is pleased to confirm Tom Pidcock will continue riding and helping to develop its flagship off-road bikes for the next three years following his move from Ineos Grenadiers to the Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team , " Pinarello said in a statement today . ( Alex Whitehead/SWpix.com ) The announcement means that the 25-year-old will race on the brand 's Dogma XC mountain bike , which was developed for both Pidcock and Pauline Ferrand-Pr ? vot ahead of their Olympic success in Paris this year . He 'll also still be riding the Crossista F during cyclocross races , and the Grevil F if he chooses to take part in any gravel events . The only times Pidcock wo n't be seen on a Pinarello , the company says , is when he 's racing on the road for Q36.5 , when he 'll be riding a Scott . " We 're thrilled to confirm Tom will continue racing on our cyclocross , cross country mountain bike , and gravel bikes , " Fausto Pinarello said in a statement . " He is an amazing rider with phenomenal technical skills and it 's been a pleasure working with him on the Crossista and Dogma XC , both models in segments where we had n't had bikes for a long time . " Tom is a rider who knows what he wants . His unwavering pursuit of excellence has challenged us a lot and enabled us to produce three incredible frames which he 's ridden to success on the grandest stages in the sport . We are delighted to keep this successful collaboration alive . " ( Simon Wilkinson/SWpix.com ) Meanwhile , Pidcock himself said : " Working with Fausto and the team at Pinarello over the past four years has been a privilege , and a really enjoyable experience . I am so happy I get to stay working with them on everything off-road moving forwards . " So far , we have developed three cyclocross and XC MTB frames together and all of them exceeded expectations from the moment I sat on them , I could not have asked for more . I felt so confident on them that I was able to race and win after the first couple of rides . " To me , our relationship feels more like a partnership than a sponsorship . I 'm looking forward to the next three years of racing and developing more great bikes with Pinarello . " While the prospect of Pidcock racing on both Pinarello and Scott bikes next year , depending on the discipline , may seem odd at first , it makes a lot of sense when you delve into Q36.5 's ownership . The Swiss-registered team is backed by South African mining billionaire Ivan Glasenberg -- who just so happened to have bought a majority stake in Pinarello last June . And with Scott 's partnership with Q36.5 set to expire at the end of 2025 , it may only be a matter of time before Pidcock is back riding a Pinarello on the road , too . 14:26 " Paris-Roubaix is not too difficult " : Tom Boonen says he 's " 100 per cent convinced " Tadej Pogacar can win the Hell of the North -- but fellow four-time winner Roger De Vlaeminck says Slovenian 's long-range attacks would never have been allowed in the 1970s I do n't know what they put in those cobblestone trophies , but it seems to make you obsessed with Tadej Pogacar . Because the two men who hold the joint record for the most Paris-Roubaix victories , Tom Boonen and Roger De Vlaeminck , ca n't stop talking about the Triple Crown-winning Slovenian . At the Velo d'Or awards on Friday , where Pogacar claimed the titular award for best male rider in the world , as well as the Eddy Merckx Trophy for his classics success in 2024 , Belgian legend Boonen told the crowd he was " 100 per cent " convinced the three-time Tour de France winner could rewrite the rules of the sport by becoming the first rider since Bernard Hinault to win both the Tour and Paris-Roubaix -- the only monument Pogacar is yet to tackle ( though he 's also still waiting to break his duck at Milan-Sanremo , of course ) . " I am 100 per cent convinced he can win it , " the 44-year-old , who matched De Vlaeminck 's record tally of four wins at the Hell of the North , said at the awards ceremony . " He is one of those riders who can handle a bike well , he can do everything with a bike . And Paris-Roubaix is ? ? not too difficult . It is just about riding fast on the cobblestones and taking the wind into account . But if he ca n't win it , who can ? " Pogacar , for his part , brushed off Boonen 's lofty expectations in his usual dry manner . " Try to avoid the big rocks as much as possible . Use the side of the road and everything will be fine ! " the Slovenian laughed . " It 's easy for him ! " But while Boonen is confident Pogacar can push his career to even greater heights by winning all five monuments , Monsieur Paris -- Roubaix himself , De Vlaeminck , does n't seem to be as in thrall to the Slovenian as the rest of the cycling world . " I do n't want to give interviews anymore after which everyone thinks I 'm the bad guy , " the 77-year-old , who was one of Eddy Merckx 's biggest rivals in their 1970s heyday , continued . " But I do n't want to lie either . Eddy Merckx says that Pogacar is better than him , but I totally disagree . He 's the best right now , I can hardly enjoy it because of that . " I wonder : who is the opposition . Remco Evenepoel and Jonas Vingegaard , but he only rides the Tour . Come on guys ... " It could be that Pogacar will become the fourth rider ever to win the five Monuments . He only has Milan-Sanremo and Paris-Roubaix to go . " But then you have to look at who the opponents were . Where are the Italians ? The Francesco Mosers , Felice Gimondis and Franco Bitossis that we had to ride against ? Can you name one good Italian rider at the moment ? " Stereotypically harsh from De Vlaeminck ... But fair ? Of course , the Van der Poels , Pedersens , and Van Aerts of the current peloton will have plenty to say about both Pogacar 's chances of winning Sanremo and Roubaix , as well as the depth of the class of 2024 . It looks like Oxford Green Party councillor Emily Kerr has upped the stakes , however , by transporting Father Christmas himself by bike : Arguably my favourite bike passenger ever . I see everyone 's #treebybike and raise you " Santa " . Had such fun today in storm Darragh as our community really came together for our local street fair despite the weather . Feel very lucky to live here . #SantaByBike Nice to see Kevin the Carrot doing a bit of cameo work alongside Roglic there -- I hope that does n't break his Aldi contract ... 11:58 " It 's a bit of a sour apple to bite financially " : Cyclocross stars rue cost of cancelled World Cup race in Sardinia as massive storm with 90kph winds leaves course in tatters and lightning strike burns down press tent It looks like the cyclocross weather gods got their weekends mixed up this season . Because , after the benign and pleasantly warm conditions which greeted the riders in Dublin at the start of the month , Sunday 's planned World Cup round on the Italian island of Sardinia was subjected to a massive storm that ultimately forced the organisers to cancel the elite men 's and women 's race on safety grounds . The cancellation came after gusts of between 65 and 90kph ravaged the coastal course in Cabras -- which was set to host a World Cup event for the first time -- on Saturday night and Sunday morning , leaving barriers , tents , and portable toilets littered across the course . The makeshift press tent , which the organisers transport to different venues , and which includes a bar and dining facilities , was also struck by lightning overnight , setting it on fire . Faced with the treacherous conditions , and with the threat of 100kph winds to come , on Sunday morning the round 's organising committee consulted with local authorities , World Cup organisers Flanders Classics , the riders , and the UCI before deciding to pull the pin , while ruling out the possibility that the event could be rescheduled before the end of the season . " The safety of the riders , staff , volunteers , and the public could not be assured , " the UCI said in a statement . " Ensuring the safety of our athletes , fans and all personnel remains our utmost priority as we make this necessary decision . " However , with the World Cup now venturing far beyond cyclocross ' northern European heartland , the riders were left rueing the cost of an ultimately fruitless trip to Italy . " It 's a bit of a sour apple to bite financially , " Eli Iserbyt , who would have been one of the riders most in danger of being blown away by the strong winds , told Sporza . " I think every rider has invested about 1,000 to 1,500 euros to be here . That is difficult to recover . " I weigh 55 kilograms and with my bike and my rims it would be very difficult to stay upright here . I think I was going to have to hold on to my bike well . " " I think cancelling is the only right option , no matter how hard it is for the organisers , " added Dublin winner Michael Vanthourenhout . " Once you get here , you know that racing is not feasible . " It 's already difficult to just stay upright . Everyone has made an effort to get here , also financially . I think that today only safety should play a role . " Meanwhile , Toon Aerts -- who took his first World Cup podium in Dublin since returning from a doping ban -- said of the financial hit of travelling to Italy : " Yes , it did cost some money . That 's just the way it is . We will have to earn that back at another time . " Just staying straight with the bike would be super difficult . It 's a shame , because it 's a very nice location here . I was looking forward to it . It was a nice lap . Anyway , we have to accept this . I think cancelling is also for our own good . " 12:39 Meanwhile , in ' sunny ' Spain ... ? ? Livestream Ziklo Kros Igorre ? ? ? ? The cyclocross race you need this weekend . Good battle between ? ? ? ? Anton Ferdinande and Yorben Lauryssen . Now , Prudhomme , there 's an idea -- bring back the combined classification . Pogacar would win it every year , of course , but at least the jersey would look cool . And while you 're at it , bring back the white leader 's jersey for Paris-Nice ... 10:29 " And there we have it , what was left of Colnago 's soul is gone " : Horrified cyclists react to Colnago 's new aero road bike -- and brand it the " ugliest bike on the WorldTour " Well , despite all our combined prayers , it turns out the leaks were -- unbelievably -- right . " Good call from someone at Colnago to do the promo shots based on painting the rear black and photographing it in the dark against a black back drop . It 's almost like they 're trying to hide it , " said Mark , who could be on to something there . " And there we have it , what was left of Colnago 's soul is gone , " added Ryan " Colnagos used to be works of art , not this time , " agreed George . " Definitely the ugliest bike on the WorldTour , quite the achievement , " said another Facebook user . Meanwhile , most of you were busy working out what brands , other than Colnago , were actually behind the Y1Rs . " Looks like a cut and shut job , " said one Instagram user .

" After obtaining a PhD , lecturing , and hosting a history podcast at Queen 's University Belfast , Ryan joined road.cc in December 2021 and since then has kept the site 's readers and listeners informed and enthralled ( well at least occasionally ) on news , the live blog , and the road.cc Podcast . After boarding a wrong bus at the world championships and ruining a good pair of jeans at the cyclocross , he now serves as road.cc 's senior news writer . Before his foray into cycling journalism , he wallowed in the equally pitiless world of academia , where he wrote a book about Victorian politics and droned on about cycling and bikes to classes of bored students ( while taking every chance he could get to talk about cycling in print or on the radio ) . He can be found riding his bike very slowly around the narrow , scenic country lanes of Co . Down . Could the UCI mandate a minimum tyre width ? say 35mm , it 'd increase the grip , be slightly heavier and less aero without massively changing the way the bikes ride . Still leaves the space for different brands to sponsor teams , and is pretty simple to enforce . The majority of the safety issues are course design/setup related , so they should probably address those first , but if they want to be seen to be doing something to slow the riders down then that could work . Tyre width is not a straightforward correlation . On certain road surfaces ( such as the UK , which is usually relatively course ) , rolling resistance is reduced with a wider tyre requiring lower pressure . If the tyre width gets up around 30mm , frame redesign would be required . Making riders use inner tubes might be a better option as it would increase weight and moment of inertia , as well as reducing catastrophic punctures . However you would probably only reduce speed by about 1-2 mph . I agree that course design is likely to be the best to tackle . Narrow tyres could have more grip on bends because a smaller area is in contact with the road , so there is more weight on this area , making the tyre dig into the road , especially on warm days . Also , riders take more risks when wearing helmets because they feel safer . Let them go as fast as they want , but put them in a moto GP suit and full face helmets ! Alternatively a full set of downhill MTB pads if the leathers are to restrictive give them the non-aero goggles too . If everyone has the same handycap it 's still a test of who 's the better athlete ? Switch to trophy trucks mate . F1 ai n't nothing next to those aussies . Still comes across as a proper hold-my-beer sport ( at least if you go by the gut size of some of the drivers ) . Whoever thought to put massive metal jumps on the circuit ... genius ... if u have n't seen them specifically I highly suggest a look on YouTube ... Re slowing professional bikes down . A lot of the serious crashes occur in sprint stages . I think race organisers need to stop introducing downhill sections , sharp bends , restrictions , or chicanes in the last few hundred metres of such stages . " We already said it here last year : our car and motorbike drivers no longer have a safety margin ! Imagine the consequences if one of our drivers , subjected to too much pressure , lost control on a mountain descent or when racing through a built-up area . " Can someone explain this to me . We 'd never ( ? ) say that drivers no longer had a safety margin , " in the wild " : we 'd just say that they were n't leaving a decent gap or were close passing . Surely the support cars should n't be that close to the riders , if they 're concerned about the safety margin ? It is not important . Cavendish was well paid throughout his career . He has been lauded by the people who matter : his peers , contemporaries , and dedicated cycling fans . That Joe Bloggs is shown a two-minute VT about some runner or footballer or cricketer and not a cyclist wo n't make one iota of difference to the popularity of cycling as a sport or the safety of cyclists on the road . Is n't the claim about rider positioning and higher speeds somewhat undermined by the fact that we very rarely see crashes in dry time trials , even though they are riding faster and less manoeuverable bikes with poorer visibility ? I 'm fairly convinced that a lot of the problems arise from the extreme youth of many riders nowadays , so they are coming into top-flight races without the requisite experience to stay safe riding at high speeds in a pro peloton ; that 's alongside the number of riders who are coming in from other sports or even Esports ( Zwift champions et cetera ) who seem to be given places based solely on their power numbers rather than all-round cycling skill . Perhaps the UCI should run a compulsory training course on race skills for all new riders run by experienced former professionals that has to be passed before a racing licence is awarded ? The other thing that I believe would hugely improve safety would be a version of the safety car concept as used in motor racing , e.g. if a steep descent has been made dangerous by rain then a commissaire car/motorbike should neutralise the race and this should be communicated to all riders ( a good reason for retaining race radio ) and slow it right down until they reach safer terrain . Possibly when they do so any riders who had a lead over the summit could be released first so they would n't lose their advantage , although not sure how realistic that would be logistically . There 's rumours Sir Mark is getting a lifetime achievement prize , not that it should exclude him from the main prize imo . But its a joke of a list , again , the guy who actually beat the darts kid to the world championship and won stack full this year , ranked number 1 in the world , does n't even make the list as he predicted . But its a joke of a list , again , the guy who actually beat the darts kid to the world championship and won stack full this year , ranked number 1 in the world , does n't even make the list as he predicted . From Wikipedia : " The panel produces a shortlist that reflects UK sporting achievements on the national and/or international stage , represents the breadth and depth of UK sports and takes into account ' impact ' within and beyond the sport or sporting achievement in question . " That last clause is the key , someone like Luke Littler has clearly had a massive impact on the public consciousness to the extent that even someone who does n't follow darts like yours truly knows his name , I ca n't tell you the name of the other person to whom you are referring . Similarly , if it just went on sheer sporting excellence in the calendar year then Harry Brook should be the cricketer nominated , not Joe Root . Ironically that criteria makes it more surprising , rather than less , that Mark is n't included , but on the general point it does n't make the list a joke just because not every nominee is the world #1 . Wikipedia also states its an award for sporting excellence , I just do nt see how they picked the runner up from the biggest darts competition in the year , whilst completely overlooking the actual winner . anyway ITV have put out an alternate SPOTY list which seems alot more grounded in reality . I think a lifetime award is more appropriate for Mark Cavendish . He won one stage of the TDF , which is no more impressive than other UK cyclists such as Sarah Storey or Tom Pidcock . Joe Root had a terrific summer , but poor series in Pakistan . Maybe Gus Atkinson would be a better cricket nomination . However , I think Keeley Hodgkinson is the one sportsperson who has been outstanding in her field and performed brilliantly in every race she ran . They did the same to Nicole Cook , she was the world number 1 and won the women 's Tour de France - the final list was 20 so the BBC made it 21 and included Nicole on the list at the last moment , nobody at BBC had any idea who she was and she was the world number1 ! |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'ruled her out of participating' which is a different construction where 'out of' is part of the phrasal verb 'rule out', and 'participating' is a gerund functioning as the object of the preposition 'of'. There is no causer-causee relationship, and it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Because this morning , the Beeb announced its nominees for the main SPOTY award . And while Champions League winner ( but not quite Euro 2024 victor ) Jude Bellingham , Olympic 800m champion Keely Hodgkinson , 17-year-old darts phenom ( but not yet world champion ) Luke Littler , and some cricketer ( Joe Root ) were all accounted for , one name was notably missing from the shortlist . A certain record-breaking Manx Missile . ( Zac Williams/SWpix.com ) Yes , despite Mark Cavendish -- the winner of the ultimately meaningless award back in his world title winning year of 2011 -- roaring to his 35th Tour de France stage victory in July , at the age of 39 , to become the outright most successful stage hunter in the history of his sport 's biggest race , helping him gain a knighthood in the process , there was no space for cycling 's fastest ever sprinter on the BBC 's shortlist . Some are calling it the biggest SPOTY cycling snub since the all-conquering Beryl Burton was barely given a mention during the 1967 coverage of the event , even though she surprised the Beeb 's bigwigs by finishing second to Our ' Enry Cooper in the public vote , despite none of her races being broadcast on television in the UK . ( Okay , I 'm the one calling it that . ) In any case , there 's plenty of cycling fans ( and the occasional MP ) on social media fuming with SPOTY 's glaring Cav omission . " Decent list , but would have had Cavendish on there . Part lifetime achievement but also for the past 12 months . France will be stunned by his omission , " said Steve . " How is there no space on the SPOTY list for Mark Cavendish in a year when he becomes the all-time greatest stage winner of the Tour de France against the odds ; the icing on what was already an incredible sporting comeback ? " asked Conservative Kingston-upon-Thames MP Ben Obese-Jecty . ( Zac Williams/SWpix.com ) Others noted that , while it could be said that Cav 's 2024 -- when considered on its own , compared to some of his other mind-bogglingly successful years -- is n't up to much ( just the one Tour stage ? Pah ! ) , the same accusation could be labelled at England 's record Test run scorer Root . " Root had another excellent year , but not his greatest . If we are doing overall achievement , the lack of a Cavendish vote is crazy , " said another user . ( Ed Sykes/SWpix.com ) But before we sharpen our pitchforks and head on down to Broadcasting House just yet , cycling did at least make it on to the SPOTY shortlist , courtesy of the Burton-esque Dame Sarah Storey , who dominated at the Paris Paralympics to secure the 18th and 19th golds , and 29th and 30th medals , of one of the greatest sporting careers of all time . At the age of 47 , Storey just kept adding to her glistening palmares , winning the road race and time trial gold at the para-cycling worlds for a stunning tenth time , to bring her rainbow jersey tally to 39 . Yes , 39 world titles -- not even the BBC could ignore that . Oh , and Olympic and world triathlon champion Alex Yee has also been nominated , after his thrilling suspense-laden win in Paris . So that counts as a third of a nominee for cycling too , right ? 17:02 87 used pro bikes are currently being auctioned off , and some of the prices are tempting ( save for the ? 400- ? 700 shipping costs ) We 'll be covering this in a bit more detail on a couple of fronts later in the week ( yep , we have noticed that saddle tilt ) but just so you know , MatchWornShirt ( should n't that be ' MatchWornShirtandBikes ' ? ? ) are currently auctioning off a number of top-end bikes as used by WorldTour pros . With four days to go , bikes like Vingegaard 's Cerv ? lo S5 ( 51cm ) and Thomas 's Pinarello Dogma F ( 56cm ) have high bids of ? 5,473 and ? 3,732 respectively , relative bargains compared to what they might be worth from new ; although the high bids have gone up considerably since we checked this morning . Further down there 's even bigger potential steals , such as Sylvain Moniquet 's Orbea Orca Aero OMX bidding at ? 1,836 ... although it 's worth adding that the shipping prices appear to be set at a minimum of ? 450 to the UK , and as high as ? 700 for some bikes . Best make sure you 've factored that in before joining the auction ... " In almost 20 years , nothing has improved " : Dame Sarah Storey says her 100/1 odds for Sports Personality of the Year are due to lack of TV coverage and the UCI 's failure to promote para-cycling -- which " disappears for four years " While much of the furore within the cycling world surrounding this year 's BBC Sports Personality of the Year shortlist focused on Mark Cavendish 's glaring absence , the one cyclist who did get nominated -- record-smashing Paralympic legend Dame Sarah Storey -- has been ranked a 100/1 outsider by bookmakers to scoop the prize . And in a strikingly similar situation to Beryl Burton back in the 1960s , whose groundbreaking achievements were largely ignored by the UK press , those lowly odds , Storey says , are an indictment of the UCI 's inability to properly promote para-cycling , a branch of the sport the 47-year-old claims " disappears " from public view between each Paralympics . Storey has reached the SPOTY shortlist for the fourth time in her long , illustrious career , after securing her 18th and 19th Paralympic gold medals in Paris , before following that up with her 28th and 29th world titles . ( Alex Whitehead/SWpix.com ) " I won four gold medals in 24 days in September 2024 and this is the fourth time I 've been on the list , " she told the Telegraph today . " So maybe someone with a crystal ball will tell me whether all those ' fours ' means it 's a good thing . " However , Storey , who doubles up as Greater Manchester 's Active Travel Commissioner , believes her often lowly positions in the public Sports Personality vote over the years are a reflection of the lack of coverage and support her sport receives . " I think we do n't get enough coverage between Games , " she says . " Para-sport disappears for the four years in between . There is n't sufficient funding and support for any of the para-athletes -- maybe except tennis -- for athletes to be professional athletes . So , the vast majority of para-athletes will have a job of some kind , will be doing some work alongside . " We have to train like we 're full-time , we have to deliver the performances as though we 're full-time . But we do n't get the coverage to bring the finance into the sport that we need to deliver that professional level . And it 's really , really challenging . " " You only have to look at comments when I was found to be out of Dancing on Ice , " she said , referencing the recently fractured ankle that ruled her out of participating in the celebrity skating programme in the new year . " People were like , ' Well , who is she ? Hopefully , she 's replaced with someone who 's more well-known ' . And that just says a lot , does n't it ? People do n't see para sport on the TV enough to know who their most successful athlete is . " Asked how she would change this situation , Storey said : " " I would make sure that we utilise some of the coffers that are in there , in the international governing bodies , to start to speculate to accumulate on the coverage front . We need to see the event at the highest level -- world championships , World Cup events -- on the TV . We need to see that streamed with proper coverage . " At the moment , you have to work really hard to find out who 's done what . And even when I 'm following my own sport and I know where to look for it , it 's not well laid out , it 's not well done . " So , when you look at the way the UCI do things , the only reason we got coverage at the World Championships in Zurich was because we happened to be part of the event where the able-bodied riders were . If we were stand-alone , like it will be next year in Belgium , I can almost guarantee the coverage will be nothing like what we experienced in Zurich . ( Ed Sykes/SWpix.com ) " The UCI have had hold of para-cycling since 2006-2007 . So , in almost 20 years , very little has improved . " Those integrated events are really important . And I think once we 've got coverage , once we 've got a narrative in between the Paralympic Games , we start to see those personalities coming out . " Many people have , more than once , assumed that I 've retired . And they were very surprised and pleased to see that I was selected again for another Games . So , I think it 's really important that people do n't make that assumption just because they have n't seen you race on TV . " 16:34 Eddy Merckx breaks hip and will need an artificial one after bike crash , according to reports Acccording to Sporza , 79-year-old Merckx came off his bike while going over a railway crossing in Hombeek . He was taken to hospital immediately when it became clear he was in a lot of pain and had broken his hip in the fall . Merckx 's sister told Sporza that her sibling will need to undergo surgery and requires " a new artificial hip " . Here 's hoping The Cannibal 's surgery goes well and he 's back on the bike soon . 09:00 " Slow down the bikes to save lives , it 's the only solution " : Cycling team boss calls for bike tech safety restrictions and asks , " Is a race at an average of 48kph less exciting than one at 55kph ? " While Katy Marchant 's horror crash at the Lee Valley Velodrome on Saturday night appears to have reignited the debate on track racing safety protocols -- particularly when it comes to trackside barriers seemingly ' protecting ' spectators from the action on the boards -- cycling 's decision makers also continue to be locked in an ongoing discussion about safety on the road . The outspoken French manager 's suggestion , which he says could emulate Formula 1 by " saving lives " while not hindering the spectacle on display , comes just two weeks after Tour de France director Christian Prudhomme argued that crashes such as the one in the Basque Country in April -- which left two-time Tour winner Jonas Vingegaard with serious injuries , hindering his eventual yellow jersey defence -- are caused by riders " going too fast " . Speaking at the annual general assembly of the association of race organisers ( AIOCC ) in Italy , Prudhomme said : " Beyond the behaviour of the athletes and the work of the organisers , it is absolutely necessary to reduce speed by appropriate measures : the riders are going too fast . " The faster they go , the greater the risk and the more they endanger themselves and others . " We already said it here last year : our car and motorbike drivers no longer have a safety margin ! Imagine the consequences if one of our drivers , subjected to too much pressure , lost control on a mountain descent or when racing through a built-up area . " And while the Tour director 's stance has drawn criticism from the likes of EF Education-EasyPost manager Jonathan Vaughters , who branded the comments " absolutely infuriating " and dismissed Prudhomme as one of the sport 's " fat cats who have never raced so much as a child 's tricycle " , it has nevertheless attracted some degree of support from Vaughters ' fellow team bosses , namely Groupama-FDJ chief Marc Madiot . Marc Madiot ( ASO/Pauline Ballet ) In an interview with Le Parisien , Madiot , who 's managed the French squad since 1997 , said that slowing down the technology on offer is key to creating a safer environment who " do n't want to understand " the inherent risks they face during races . The great leap forward in bike technology over the past decade -- which promoted one smiling French " champion " to tell Le Parisien that the bikes " almost ride by themselves " these days -- and its effect on safety was also noted by France 's philosopher cyclist Guillaume Martin , who 's set to move to Madiot 's Groupama-FDJ team in 2025 after five years at Cofidis . " The equipment allows you to go faster , " Martin told the paper . " I have the impression that the bikes break every time you fall , which means they are more violent . ( ASO/Billy Ceusters ) " We can do like in F1 where everyone has the same tyres . That way we would n't have any differences in grip . We can choose a brand that is n't hyper-efficient with tyres that make you go a little slower . From one tyre to another , the speed can vary by 3kph . " Meanwhile , other suggestions for reducing speed , such as increasing the UCI 's 6.8kg minimum weight for bikes , were dismissed as " stupid " by Groupama-FDJ 's performance director Fr ? d ? ric Grappe . " Heavier , the bikes would go faster downhill . There are other avenues , however , " Grappe said , before calling on cycling 's governing body to act on certain aero-focused rider positions on the bike . " The centre of gravity has been moved forward , " he said . " The saddles are too high and the handlebars too low . As a result , riders ' arms are too straight and they can no longer bend their elbows when it comes to reacting quickly to a problem . " Seeing riders skidding off the front wheel on a descent is completely abnormal . Everything is done to get themselves into trouble . " Smaller handlebars are also making turning more complicated . And another consequence is that , in a peloton , the guys are closer together . That increases the danger . " ( SprintCyclingAgency ) Also speaking to Le Parisien , Kiko Garcia , the general director of the International Association of Cycle Race Organisers , argued that a " lot of things are possible " on the bike tech front to help make the sport safer . " We race organisers ca n't secure everything and we ask for help from the bicycle industry and other bicycle families , " he said . " But the very good news is that equipment manufacturers are not at all closed to the idea of ? ? building slightly slower bikes . The will is common . I 'm sure that changes will be decided soon . " 15:05 Tom Pidcock set to continue to ride Pinarello bikes off-road next year , despite switch to Scott-backed Q36.5 team The intrigue surrounding Tom Pidcock 's move to Q36.5 shows no signs of abating , as Pinarello announced this afternoon that the double Olympic champion will continue to ride the Italian brand 's bikes off-road -- despite his switch to the Scott-backed Swiss outfit . " Pinarello is pleased to confirm Tom Pidcock will continue riding and helping to develop its flagship off-road bikes for the next three years following his move from Ineos Grenadiers to the Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team , " Pinarello said in a statement today . ( Alex Whitehead/SWpix.com ) The announcement means that the 25-year-old will race on the brand 's Dogma XC mountain bike , which was developed for both Pidcock and Pauline Ferrand-Pr ? vot ahead of their Olympic success in Paris this year . He 'll also still be riding the Crossista F during cyclocross races , and the Grevil F if he chooses to take part in any gravel events . The only times Pidcock wo n't be seen on a Pinarello , the company says , is when he 's racing on the road for Q36.5 , when he 'll be riding a Scott . " We 're thrilled to confirm Tom will continue racing on our cyclocross , cross country mountain bike , and gravel bikes , " Fausto Pinarello said in a statement . " He is an amazing rider with phenomenal technical skills and it 's been a pleasure working with him on the Crossista and Dogma XC , both models in segments where we had n't had bikes for a long time . " Tom is a rider who knows what he wants . His unwavering pursuit of excellence has challenged us a lot and enabled us to produce three incredible frames which he 's ridden to success on the grandest stages in the sport . We are delighted to keep this successful collaboration alive . " ( Simon Wilkinson/SWpix.com ) Meanwhile , Pidcock himself said : " Working with Fausto and the team at Pinarello over the past four years has been a privilege , and a really enjoyable experience . I am so happy I get to stay working with them on everything off-road moving forwards . " So far , we have developed three cyclocross and XC MTB frames together and all of them exceeded expectations from the moment I sat on them , I could not have asked for more . I felt so confident on them that I was able to race and win after the first couple of rides . " To me , our relationship feels more like a partnership than a sponsorship . I 'm looking forward to the next three years of racing and developing more great bikes with Pinarello . " While the prospect of Pidcock racing on both Pinarello and Scott bikes next year , depending on the discipline , may seem odd at first , it makes a lot of sense when you delve into Q36.5 's ownership . The Swiss-registered team is backed by South African mining billionaire Ivan Glasenberg -- who just so happened to have bought a majority stake in Pinarello last June . And with Scott 's partnership with Q36.5 set to expire at the end of 2025 , it may only be a matter of time before Pidcock is back riding a Pinarello on the road , too . 14:26 " Paris-Roubaix is not too difficult " : Tom Boonen says he 's " 100 per cent convinced " Tadej Pogacar can win the Hell of the North -- but fellow four-time winner Roger De Vlaeminck says Slovenian 's long-range attacks would never have been allowed in the 1970s I do n't know what they put in those cobblestone trophies , but it seems to make you obsessed with Tadej Pogacar . Because the two men who hold the joint record for the most Paris-Roubaix victories , Tom Boonen and Roger De Vlaeminck , ca n't stop talking about the Triple Crown-winning Slovenian . At the Velo d'Or awards on Friday , where Pogacar claimed the titular award for best male rider in the world , as well as the Eddy Merckx Trophy for his classics success in 2024 , Belgian legend Boonen told the crowd he was " 100 per cent " convinced the three-time Tour de France winner could rewrite the rules of the sport by becoming the first rider since Bernard Hinault to win both the Tour and Paris-Roubaix -- the only monument Pogacar is yet to tackle ( though he 's also still waiting to break his duck at Milan-Sanremo , of course ) . " I am 100 per cent convinced he can win it , " the 44-year-old , who matched De Vlaeminck 's record tally of four wins at the Hell of the North , said at the awards ceremony . " He is one of those riders who can handle a bike well , he can do everything with a bike . And Paris-Roubaix is ? ? not too difficult . It is just about riding fast on the cobblestones and taking the wind into account . But if he ca n't win it , who can ? " Pogacar , for his part , brushed off Boonen 's lofty expectations in his usual dry manner . " Try to avoid the big rocks as much as possible . Use the side of the road and everything will be fine ! " the Slovenian laughed . " It 's easy for him ! " But while Boonen is confident Pogacar can push his career to even greater heights by winning all five monuments , Monsieur Paris -- Roubaix himself , De Vlaeminck , does n't seem to be as in thrall to the Slovenian as the rest of the cycling world . " I do n't want to give interviews anymore after which everyone thinks I 'm the bad guy , " the 77-year-old , who was one of Eddy Merckx 's biggest rivals in their 1970s heyday , continued . " But I do n't want to lie either . Eddy Merckx says that Pogacar is better than him , but I totally disagree . He 's the best right now , I can hardly enjoy it because of that . " I wonder : who is the opposition . Remco Evenepoel and Jonas Vingegaard , but he only rides the Tour . Come on guys ... " It could be that Pogacar will become the fourth rider ever to win the five Monuments . He only has Milan-Sanremo and Paris-Roubaix to go . " But then you have to look at who the opponents were . Where are the Italians ? The Francesco Mosers , Felice Gimondis and Franco Bitossis that we had to ride against ? Can you name one good Italian rider at the moment ? " Stereotypically harsh from De Vlaeminck ... But fair ? Of course , the Van der Poels , Pedersens , and Van Aerts of the current peloton will have plenty to say about both Pogacar 's chances of winning Sanremo and Roubaix , as well as the depth of the class of 2024 . It looks like Oxford Green Party councillor Emily Kerr has upped the stakes , however , by transporting Father Christmas himself by bike : Arguably my favourite bike passenger ever .

Feel very lucky to live here . #SantaByBike Nice to see Kevin the Carrot doing a bit of cameo work alongside Roglic there -- I hope that does n't break his Aldi contract ... 11:58 " It 's a bit of a sour apple to bite financially " : Cyclocross stars rue cost of cancelled World Cup race in Sardinia as massive storm with 90kph winds leaves course in tatters and lightning strike burns down press tent It looks like the cyclocross weather gods got their weekends mixed up this season . Because , after the benign and pleasantly warm conditions which greeted the riders in Dublin at the start of the month , Sunday 's planned World Cup round on the Italian island of Sardinia was subjected to a massive storm that ultimately forced the organisers to cancel the elite men 's and women 's race on safety grounds . The cancellation came after gusts of between 65 and 90kph ravaged the coastal course in Cabras -- which was set to host a World Cup event for the first time -- on Saturday night and Sunday morning , leaving barriers , tents , and portable toilets littered across the course . The makeshift press tent , which the organisers transport to different venues , and which includes a bar and dining facilities , was also struck by lightning overnight , setting it on fire . Faced with the treacherous conditions , and with the threat of 100kph winds to come , on Sunday morning the round 's organising committee consulted with local authorities , World Cup organisers Flanders Classics , the riders , and the UCI before deciding to pull the pin , while ruling out the possibility that the event could be rescheduled before the end of the season . " The safety of the riders , staff , volunteers , and the public could not be assured , " the UCI said in a statement . " Ensuring the safety of our athletes , fans and all personnel remains our utmost priority as we make this necessary decision . " However , with the World Cup now venturing far beyond cyclocross ' northern European heartland , the riders were left rueing the cost of an ultimately fruitless trip to Italy . " It 's a bit of a sour apple to bite financially , " Eli Iserbyt , who would have been one of the riders most in danger of being blown away by the strong winds , told Sporza . " I think every rider has invested about 1,000 to 1,500 euros to be here . That is difficult to recover . " I weigh 55 kilograms and with my bike and my rims it would be very difficult to stay upright here . I think I was going to have to hold on to my bike well . " " I think cancelling is the only right option , no matter how hard it is for the organisers , " added Dublin winner Michael Vanthourenhout . " Once you get here , you know that racing is not feasible . " It 's already difficult to just stay upright . Everyone has made an effort to get here , also financially . I think that today only safety should play a role . " Meanwhile , Toon Aerts -- who took his first World Cup podium in Dublin since returning from a doping ban -- said of the financial hit of travelling to Italy : " Yes , it did cost some money . That 's just the way it is . We will have to earn that back at another time . " Just staying straight with the bike would be super difficult . It 's a shame , because it 's a very nice location here . I was looking forward to it . It was a nice lap . Anyway , we have to accept this . I think cancelling is also for our own good . " 12:39 Meanwhile , in ' sunny ' Spain ... ? ? Livestream Ziklo Kros Igorre ? ? ? ? The cyclocross race you need this weekend . Good battle between ? ? ? ? Anton Ferdinande and Yorben Lauryssen . Now , Prudhomme , there 's an idea -- bring back the combined classification . Pogacar would win it every year , of course , but at least the jersey would look cool . And while you 're at it , bring back the white leader 's jersey for Paris-Nice ... 10:29 " And there we have it , what was left of Colnago 's soul is gone " : Horrified cyclists react to Colnago 's new aero road bike -- and brand it the " ugliest bike on the WorldTour " Well , despite all our combined prayers , it turns out the leaks were -- unbelievably -- right . " Good call from someone at Colnago to do the promo shots based on painting the rear black and photographing it in the dark against a black back drop . It 's almost like they 're trying to hide it , " said Mark , who could be on to something there . " And there we have it , what was left of Colnago 's soul is gone , " added Ryan " Colnagos used to be works of art , not this time , " agreed George . " Definitely the ugliest bike on the WorldTour , quite the achievement , " said another Facebook user . Meanwhile , most of you were busy working out what brands , other than Colnago , were actually behind the Y1Rs . " Looks like a cut and shut job , " said one Instagram user . " Front end of a Cerv ? lo . Back end of a Madone or Foil . " After obtaining a PhD , lecturing , and hosting a history podcast at Queen 's University Belfast , Ryan joined road.cc in December 2021 and since then has kept the site 's readers and listeners informed and enthralled ( well at least occasionally ) on news , the live blog , and the road.cc Podcast . After boarding a wrong bus at the world championships and ruining a good pair of jeans at the cyclocross , he now serves as road.cc 's senior news writer . Before his foray into cycling journalism , he wallowed in the equally pitiless world of academia , where he wrote a book about Victorian politics and droned on about cycling and bikes to classes of bored students ( while taking every chance he could get to talk about cycling in print or on the radio ) . He can be found riding his bike very slowly around the narrow , scenic country lanes of Co . Down . Could the UCI mandate a minimum tyre width ? say 35mm , it 'd increase the grip , be slightly heavier and less aero without massively changing the way the bikes ride . Still leaves the space for different brands to sponsor teams , and is pretty simple to enforce . The majority of the safety issues are course design/setup related , so they should probably address those first , but if they want to be seen to be doing something to slow the riders down then that could work . Tyre width is not a straightforward correlation . On certain road surfaces ( such as the UK , which is usually relatively course ) , rolling resistance is reduced with a wider tyre requiring lower pressure . If the tyre width gets up around 30mm , frame redesign would be required . Making riders use inner tubes might be a better option as it would increase weight and moment of inertia , as well as reducing catastrophic punctures . However you would probably only reduce speed by about 1-2 mph . I agree that course design is likely to be the best to tackle . Narrow tyres could have more grip on bends because a smaller area is in contact with the road , so there is more weight on this area , making the tyre dig into the road , especially on warm days . Also , riders take more risks when wearing helmets because they feel safer . Let them go as fast as they want , but put them in a moto GP suit and full face helmets ! Alternatively a full set of downhill MTB pads if the leathers are to restrictive give them the non-aero goggles too . If everyone has the same handycap it 's still a test of who 's the better athlete ? Switch to trophy trucks mate . F1 ai n't nothing next to those aussies . Still comes across as a proper hold-my-beer sport ( at least if you go by the gut size of some of the drivers ) . Whoever thought to put massive metal jumps on the circuit ... genius ... if u have n't seen them specifically I highly suggest a look on YouTube ... Re slowing professional bikes down . A lot of the serious crashes occur in sprint stages . I think race organisers need to stop introducing downhill sections , sharp bends , restrictions , or chicanes in the last few hundred metres of such stages . " We already said it here last year : our car and motorbike drivers no longer have a safety margin ! Imagine the consequences if one of our drivers , subjected to too much pressure , lost control on a mountain descent or when racing through a built-up area . " Can someone explain this to me . We 'd never ( ? ) say that drivers no longer had a safety margin , " in the wild " : we 'd just say that they were n't leaving a decent gap or were close passing . Surely the support cars should n't be that close to the riders , if they 're concerned about the safety margin ? It is not important . Cavendish was well paid throughout his career . He has been lauded by the people who matter : his peers , contemporaries , and dedicated cycling fans . That Joe Bloggs is shown a two-minute VT about some runner or footballer or cricketer and not a cyclist wo n't make one iota of difference to the popularity of cycling as a sport or the safety of cyclists on the road . Is n't the claim about rider positioning and higher speeds somewhat undermined by the fact that we very rarely see crashes in dry time trials , even though they are riding faster and less manoeuverable bikes with poorer visibility ? I 'm fairly convinced that a lot of the problems arise from the extreme youth of many riders nowadays , so they are coming into top-flight races without the requisite experience to stay safe riding at high speeds in a pro peloton ; that 's alongside the number of riders who are coming in from other sports or even Esports ( Zwift champions et cetera ) who seem to be given places based solely on their power numbers rather than all-round cycling skill . Perhaps the UCI should run a compulsory training course on race skills for all new riders run by experienced former professionals that has to be passed before a racing licence is awarded ? The other thing that I believe would hugely improve safety would be a version of the safety car concept as used in motor racing , e.g. if a steep descent has been made dangerous by rain then a commissaire car/motorbike should neutralise the race and this should be communicated to all riders ( a good reason for retaining race radio ) and slow it right down until they reach safer terrain . Possibly when they do so any riders who had a lead over the summit could be released first so they would n't lose their advantage , although not sure how realistic that would be logistically . There 's rumours Sir Mark is getting a lifetime achievement prize , not that it should exclude him from the main prize imo . But its a joke of a list , again , the guy who actually beat the darts kid to the world championship and won stack full this year , ranked number 1 in the world , does n't even make the list as he predicted . But its a joke of a list , again , the guy who actually beat the darts kid to the world championship and won stack full this year , ranked number 1 in the world , does n't even make the list as he predicted . From Wikipedia : " The panel produces a shortlist that reflects UK sporting achievements on the national and/or international stage , represents the breadth and depth of UK sports and takes into account ' impact ' within and beyond the sport or sporting achievement in question . " That last clause is the key , someone like Luke Littler has clearly had a massive impact on the public consciousness to the extent that even someone who does n't follow darts like yours truly knows his name , I ca n't tell you the name of the other person to whom you are referring . Similarly , if it just went on sheer sporting excellence in the calendar year then Harry Brook should be the cricketer nominated , not Joe Root . Ironically that criteria makes it more surprising , rather than less , that Mark is n't included , but on the general point it does n't make the list a joke just because not every nominee is the world #1 . Wikipedia also states its an award for sporting excellence , I just do nt see how they picked the runner up from the biggest darts competition in the year , whilst completely overlooking the actual winner . anyway ITV have put out an alternate SPOTY list which seems alot more grounded in reality . I think a lifetime award is more appropriate for Mark Cavendish . He won one stage of the TDF , which is no more impressive than other UK cyclists such as Sarah Storey or Tom Pidcock . Joe Root had a terrific summer , but poor series in Pakistan . Maybe Gus Atkinson would be a better cricket nomination . However , I think Keeley Hodgkinson is the one sportsperson who has been outstanding in her field and performed brilliantly in every race she ran . They did the same to Nicole Cook , she was the world number 1 and won the women 's Tour de France - the final list was 20 so the BBC made it 21 and included Nicole on the list at the last moment , nobody at BBC had any idea who she was and she was the world number1 ! |

The Welsh Government has published its spending plans for the next financial year , promising more money to every single government department compared to last year . The spending plan , known as the draft budget , lays out how ministers plan to distribute the ? 26bn spending Welsh Government is responsible for . All departments including health , education and rural affairs , will receive increases in both revenue and capital funding with the Welsh Government pledging it will allow " substantial investments in the school estate , NHS infrastructure , housing and public transport " . Capital expenditures are typically one-time large costs , like building new schools or hospitals , while revenue is the ongoing operating expenses . You can read all the latest live updates about the budget here . The Welsh Government say this budget includes ? 1.5bn of extra funding compared to last year - that figure is different to the ? 1.7bn extra the UK Government said it was giving Wales in the budget in October because their figure included spending over two financial years . For the first time at this stage of the budget process , the Welsh Government say that capital spending is more then ? 3bn . " This draft budget offers a real opportunity to start to rebuild and reinvigorate our public services . It delivers increases to all departments and a significant boost in capital funding , meaning more investment in the very fabric of our nation -- in our school and NHS estate , in housing and in public infrastructure . " This is good budget for Wales but it will take time to reverse the damage inflicted on Wales over 14 long years of neglect from previous UK administrations . " Now the budget is public , Labour needs to secure support from at least one other MS in order for it to pass a Senedd vote , which takes place in March . The ruling party has 30 of the 60 seats in the Senedd and therefore needs support from politicians of a different colour . Negotiations about securing that crucial vote will now continue . See how the draft budget unfolded below : 19:14Ruth Mosalski Emma Simmonds from Save the Children asked why the Welsh Government had not used this budget to address poverty . The Welsh Government stated that addressing poverty is an ' absolute priority ' so why not use this draft budget to do something about this ? While more money is promised across all government departments it 's concerning to see that there is no clear targeted investment in tackling child poverty , especially as figures remain stubbornly high in Wales and means that children are missing out on their basic rights to equal opportunities . We all know that the long-term consequence of poverty is ultimately going to impact more on public spending if immediate action is not taken . If the Welsh Government is serious about tackling child poverty , clear targets and a funded delivery plan need to be implemented as part of the Child Poverty Strategy . The Welsh Government also needs to follow the example of Scottish Government and put pressure on the UK Government to scrap the cruel two-child limit which affects over 65,000 children in Wales and could help lift many out of poverty . Share 19:12Ruth Mosalski Gareth Clubb , Director of WWF Cymru , said : Climate change and biodiversity loss remain the most significant threats to Wales ' future . This budget must put climate and nature action at the heart of spending to provide people and communities with a more resilient future . The last few weeks have shown the risks caused by the increasing frequency of extreme weather events . It 's vital that we put nature at the heart of our response and sufficient funding is allocated to support this . More trees and healthy soils can provide additional protections from threats like flooding by retaining water for longer and delaying its flow into rivers . But nature and climate also need to deliver for people and the economy . Welsh Government must prioritise interventions which foster a long-term , sustainable economic future . This should include supporting the transition to nature-friendly farming as well as supporting the development of marine sectors such as seaweed farming that can provide highly skilled careers across rural Wales and the restoration of our coastal ecosystems such as seagrass meadows which are crucial in our fight against climate change . Share 16:46Ruth Mosalski Mr Drakeford says today is the " start of the process " and there will be scrutiny over the coming months . He says the discussions will be about " growth " not reductions as they were last year . " I look forward to the process , I look forward to the debate on March 4 , " he says . Share 16:42Ruth Mosalski Mark Drakeford is responding to the debate now , explaining opposition parties were all asking for more money . He says there is a " day of reckoning " coming for Plaid Cymru . He says it will help get people faster treatment , build homes , held children with additional needs . " And they will vote against them all , that 's the day of reckoning for Plaid Cymru " . Mr Drakeford says if Plaid Cymru vote against the budget they will be telling the 22 councils in Wales they do not want them to have any of it . Mr Drakeford said he is open to discussions about " how this budget can be improved " . " If this is not the business you are in then the people of Wales will see through you " . Mr Drakeford , the finance minister for Wales , turns next to Jane Dodds , he asks about Natural Resources Wales and water pollution , saying he is " very keen " to invest in regulators if that generates more income . He says he is " very happy to continue that conversation with her after today " . Share 16:09Ruth Mosalski Jane Dodds , the sole Lib Dem MS in the Senedd could be a key player in this budget . Plaid Cymru told ruled itself out of backing the budget , making her the most likely person to assist Labour in geting the budget through . Ms Dodds welcomes the budget , but raises concerns she has about national insurance contributions impacting care homes . Ms Dodds says she wants to see more money for social care , and an increase in spending in terms of hospital discharges but also keeping people in their own homes . She says one off funding packages bring " relief " but she wants to hear about what additional support will be given . She speaks about water pollution , saying despite there being multiple penalties for their " dismal " performances they " keep getting away with this " and says conversely Natural Resources Wales are being " starved " of funds saying she wants to hear from Mr Drakeford about further funding for them . She says 28% of children in Wales are poor , and that number is going up . She says something that can be done is to remove the two child care , but childcare could be increased which would help the economy but help children have a better start in life . Maybe they 're all the wishlist items she will be laying on the table in order to offer Labour her vote - and get the budget through in March 's vote . Share 15:49Ruth Mosalski Simon Curtis , official for Equity , the perfomers union , said : " Today 's draft budget is disappointing for the arts and shows that the Welsh Government is still not listening to Equity , the arts sector or the Arts Council of Wales ( ACW ) . The First Minister may call this a budget " for hope " , but it provides none to our members who are already struggling to sustain careers in the industry . The extra ? 1,095,000 funding for ACW next year in no way makes up for the cuts of previous years -- and in a budget which includes ? 1bn of ' new money ' due to the Westminster budget , this increase in ACW funding is derisory . We can not forget that this is taking place against a backdrop of a 40% cut in funding in real terms since 2010 . This proposal will see the sector continue to struggle , with institutions -- like the Welsh National Opera -- continuing to be in crisis and cutting productions and workforce numbers . Today 's announcement also comes in stark contrast to the Scottish Government , who announced a ? 34m increase for arts and culture last week , showing real interest in the cultural infrastructure and workforce of their country . According to ACW figures , every ? 1 of funding they receive generates ? 2.51 back into the economy , yet this draft budget fails to acknowledge that good culture is good for the whole economy and provides no form of long-term investment or sustainability for the sector and its workforce . Share 15:45Ruth Mosalski Welsh farmers are faced with growing demands to deliver an ever increasing range of sustainability and environmental objectives , while continuing to produce high quality food . Considering the disproportionate cuts faced by the Welsh rural affairs budget over recent years , the Welsh Government 's decision to increase the climate change and rural affairs revenue budget by 6.6% is one to be welcomed . We do welcome the decision to maintain the BPS payment ceiling - which is crucial in providing a level of security for farmers in Wales as they face a plethora of other challenges and changes . Whilst additional funding has been provided for wider rural investment and environmental schemes , urgent questions remain regarding how this compares with the rural investment Wales historically received through the European support programmes . Share 15:43Ruth Mosalski " The headlines might look like good news but this is not good news , " she says . Ms Fychan says while the health budget has grown significantly there has been little or no difference to waiting times or cancer treatments , for example . Ms Fychan says " just beacuse this is a good budget it does n't mean it is adequate " . She repeats it does not deliver on promises made by Welsh Labour about how things would be better with a Welsh Labour government . Share 15:40Ruth Mosalski Heledd Fychan , Plaid Cymru spokeswoman , now takes her turn . She reiterates her lines from this morning that promises there would be differences once there was a Labour government at both ends of the M4 . She says there has n't been " the transformational change the people of Wales were promised " . Ms Fychan says a large chunk of money will be " swallowed up " to deal with the " short sighted " decision to up National Insurance contributions . She asks Mr Drakeford to outline his discussions with the UK Chancellor about the unintended consequences of that call by Labour . She says the Scottish government has introduced " radical solutions " about the fuel winter payments , but Wales has done nothing . Share 15:37Ruth Mosalski Mr Fox says he does n't think this budget goes far enough for social care . He says councils will still face ? 300m of pressures which will be reflected onto families via council tax increases . He says he fears some authorities will be left on a " cliff edge " . " Both Labour governments say they want growth but the fact is they stand in the way of growth " . Mr Fox says Welsh businesses are paying the highest business rates in the UK , but welcomes the multiplier will remain at 1% and that his prediction from this morning there may be changes to non-domestic rate relief not coming true . He welcomes local government and education funding , " somehing is clearly going wrong " he says . He welcomes a rise to rural affairs , with ? 62m being taken away last year , and today 's rise only makes up half of that . Mr Fox says people will continue to be " let down " by Labour . " It does n't have to be like this , " he says , ending his contribution . Share 15:30Ruth Mosalski Conservative spokesman on finance , Peter Fox , says it is time for Labour to take responsibility . He says the " weakest economy and lowest pay " is Labour 's fault . He says a UK Labour government makes the future look " bleak " criticising them for taking away fuel payments for the elderly . Mr Fox says he " would have hoped to see schemes for pensioners in Wales who fall outside the threshold for fuel allowances in winter " . Share 15:26Ruth Mosalski Mark Drakeford says it is a budget for " priorities , for growth , and reminds people of Wales why they have put their faith in a Labour government " . Alongside the draft budget , I have published a distributional analysis , which shows where the benefits of today 's allocations will be most keenly felt . In sector after sector -- in health , education , higher education , bus travel and social care -- this is a budget which increases spending most in the 20% of our population which has the least . It is a budget for priorities , it is a budget for growth , and it is a budget which reminds people in Wales why , time after time , they have put their trust in a Labour government . A government which shares their values of trust , ambition , care for one another , and especially those who need that care the most and that , Llywydd , is why this is a budget for hope , and a budget for a brighter future . Mr Drakeford ends to applause from his benches . Share 15:17Ruth Mosalski Mr Drakeford says he is making maximum use of the borrowing available to the Welsh Government , some ? 150m of capital funding . He references a road repairs scheme , totalling ? 60m . " When all this drawn together is a capital budget for 2025-26 exceeds ? 3bn for the first time in the devolution era " . I confirm this afternoon that , once again next year , I intend to make maximum use of the borrowing capacity of the Welsh Government , adding a further ? 150 million to capital expenditure in 2025-26 . Local authorities in Wales are also able to borrow for investment . In cooperation with local government colleagues , I have decided to provide revenue support which will enable local authorities to self-finance ? 60 million of capital funding to be spent in a new programme of highway maintenance , further extending our capital programme for next year , and the contribution which Wales can make to reinvigorating growth in our economy . The capital budget of the Welsh Government in 2025-26 will exceed ? 3 billion at the time of Draft Budget for the first time in devolution . Share 15:15Ruth Mosalski Mr Drakeford says the rates relief for hospitality and retail will be continued , but this is the final year . Share 15:11Ruth Mosalski Mark Drakeford begins speaking . He says he has a " privilege " of putting forward this budget . Mr Drakeford says he can demonstrate what has changed by reminding people that last March , then Chancellor Jeremy Hunt gave Wales ? 1m in additional funding . " Now , a Labour chancellor determined to put our economy back on the path to growth recognised this could only be achieved by investment " . As he stood in the chamber , he said the draft budget reflected " in full " the additional ? 235m in capital provided by Rachel Reeves " and more " . In March , in his final budget , chancellor Jeremy Hunt provided an uplift in the capital budgets available to the Welsh Government . In an era of rampant construction cost inflation , for all the investment needed in our schools , hospitals , housing and transport , he offered an additional ? 1 million . Fast forward to 30 October . Now , a Labour chancellor determined to put our economy back on the path to growth , recognised this can only be achieved by investment : investment in the conditions which allow an economy to grow and , Llywydd , not just a theoretical recognition , but one that was intensely practical . Instead of presenting a budget to you today with only ? 1million additional capital to allocate , this Draft Budget reflects , in full the additional ? 235million capital provided by Rachel Reeves in October -- and more . Share 15:00Ruth Mosalski Mark Drakeford 's statement is imminent . Mr Drakeford is in the Senedd chamber ready to make his statement about the draft budget . It is scheduled to last for 90 minutes . Share 14:58Ruth Mosalski Sara Jones , Head of the Welsh Retail Consortium , has welcomed today 's budget . She said the non-domestic rates multiplier being capped at 1% " recognises the huge burden this outdated tax has on business " however she says it needs a fundamental overhaul . " The multiplier is at a 25-year high and remains higher in Wales than in England and Scotland , acting as a significant barrier to investment , jobs and growth . " Retailers have already been clobbered by the UK Government 's colossal increase in employer national insurance contributions , disproportionately impacting the industry which has seen sales flatline for much of the year . We will be seeking opportunities to engage in targeted interventions when it comes to business rates over the course of 2025 , helping to ensure we have thriving shops of all sizes and successful high streets ensuring breadth of choice , convenience and experience for customers . " Share 14:14Ruth Mosalski For local government , it 's a drop in the ocean compared to what 's required to meet the growing challenges councils face . This will inevitably lead to more cuts to essential services and higher council tax for families already struggling to make ends meet . The lack of meaningful investment in local government will have serious consequences for social care , creating a ripple effect that piles even more pressure onto our NHS . While additional cash is being directed to the NHS frontline to tackle immediate challenges -- many of Labour 's own making -- the failure to invest in preventative healthcare and social care through local councils will only deepen the vicious cycle dragging the NHS down . Share 14:06Ruth Mosalski NHS organisations in Wales have made strides in driving financial efficiencies , prioritising the push to operate within their financial allocations . Aside from the money itself , NHS leaders need a flexible , supportive governance structure to be more agile to respond to the needs of the population and use resources more effectively . NHS leaders will welcome the proposed additional capital investment for the NHS . However , this must be sustained beyond the next financial year to bring NHS estates and equipment in line with modern standards to reduce waiting lists , ensure safety for staff and patients , meet targets to reduce carbon emissions and improve patient outcomes . Financial certainty has a huge impact on the NHS 's ability to effectively plan and deliver quality services to provide the best outcomes for patients . NHS leaders will welcome multi-year settlements for resource and capital at the conclusion of the UK Spending Review . Unless we move from short-term to long-term thinking and budget setting to give sectors some long-term financial certainty , we can not expect to achieve a sustainable health and care system and a healthier population . Share 14:04Ruth Mosalski CPT Cymru is the voice of the coach and bus sector in Wales , Aaron Hill , Director of CPT Cymru , said : The 200,000 people who take buses in Wales every day will welcome the increase in bus funding in today 's Draft Budget . However , with costs rising fast , this money may not be sufficient to sustain existing routes and services , let alone grow them . From the rising price of vehicle maintenance to an additional ? 3m in National Insurance contributions next year , Welsh bus operators are grappling with myriad cost increases , that will ultimately drive higher fares or fewer services without more investment from government . CPT Cymru urges the Welsh Government to deliver on its commitment to improve the bus network by doubling today 's increase to ? 18m before the final Budget next year . Failing to do this risks making the Welsh bus network less attractive and making it harder for people to get to work , to access education and healthcare , and to stay connected to their local communities . Share 14:03Ruth Mosalski Darren Millar is taking his first session as leader of the opposition after being named Welsh Conservative leader , having been appointed uncontested last week . Andrew RT Davies now sits behind him on the backbenches . Mr Millar tells the Senedd it is his job to hold Labour to account but where possible , he will work with the Labour government for the benefit of the people of Wales . Mr Millar uses one of his questions to ask about the UK Government decision to up employer national insurance contributions . Mr Millar said that decision will impact people in Wales . " Your government is laying its budget today , can you tell us how much is going to be gobbled up to cover those employer national insurance increases across our country " . First Minister Eluned Morgan replies saying : " You really do have a cheek Darren , on your first outing you come here and talk about devastating decisions . Let me tell you about one , Liz Truss , there 's a devastating decision . The price people are paying today is as a direct result of some of the decisions she made . We have a ? 22bn black hole in the budget we need to fill , some of that will need to be filled by that NI contribution . Those directly employed by the public sector will be covered in terms of National Insurance " . Mr Millar said her answer did n't cut it , beacuse " hundreds of millions " of pounds will " go straight back down the M4 " . " This is a smoke and mirrors situation that takes with one hand and gives with the other " . Share 13:53Ruth Mosalski There will be ? 1m for the discretionary assistance fund to provide emergency support ? 1.4m will go to helping the digitally excluded ? 5m to the " supporting communities " to help tackle food poverty ? 1m of support will go to " organisations andvolunteers continue to provide vital services to the most vulnerable individuals and families " with ? 13,000 to credit unions There will be ? 1.2m for delivering the Violence against Women and Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Strategy Share 13:50Ruth Mosalski Councils will get an additional ? 253m via the local government settlement . Of the total spending of Wales ' 22 councls , 30% goes to social care and ? 38% on education . " We will continue to work in partnership with local authorities to ensurewe do all we can within the funding available , " the Welsh Government say . Share 13:48Ruth Mosalski There will be ? 27m invested in the strategic road network , that is major A roads and motorways , to address the " significant maintenance backlog " and fix roads . There will be a ? 25m fund to improve 100km of the network ( which totals 1,510km ) and reduce potholes . Share 13:47Ruth Mosalski There is an additional ? 70m resource and ? 51m capital being promised " to modernise our railway and deliver a better bus network , to fix our roads , and provide local choice on 20mph . " We are continuing to invest in rail services in the areas which are the responsibility of the Welsh Government . Our priority is the completion of the transformational Core Valley Lines project from a Victorian coal line to a modern Metro system . The total allocation to the rail capital budget ( including non-Core Valley Lines elements ) is ? 181.6m . In terms of buses , where we expect a new bus law next year , ? 9m is being invested for the additional cost of services and demand-led concessionary fares scheme . Share 13:44Ruth Mosalski There will be ? 81m of capital funding for the social housing grant and **25;466;TOOLONG capital programmes which will deliver more homes for social rent to end homelessness . A further ? 26.25m of capital has been made available to continue to support loans to Registered Social Landlords ( RSL ) . There will be ? 5.5m of capital for housing adaptions via the independent living programme Share 13:43Ruth Mosalski In terms of education : There will be ? 7m given to helping get more children back to schools and battle low school attendance figures ? 10m of additional resource funding will support learning and attainment in literacy and numeracy , to support phonics support , as well as specific and targeted interventions to support learners struggling with literacy and numeracy . It will also help to improve data collection on literacy and numeracy to support schools The Cymraeg 2050 resource budget will be uplifted by ? 4.6m in 2025-26 , ? 3.5m of this funding will support theWelsh language , including Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol and the National Centre for Learning Welsh Share 13:40Ruth Mosalski Oxfam Cymru says the increased spend on childcare provision in Wales is a positive step , but it falls short of the bold action needed to tackle child poverty and gender inequality in Wales . Sarah Rees , Head of Oxfam Cymru , said : The new commitments on childcare while welcome , barely scratch the surface of the action needed to address years of chronic underfunding and the deeply dysfunctional , disjointed patchwork of funded childcare provision that continues to force parents across Wales out of the workforce and into poverty . " You ca n't fix a broken leg with a bandage . It 's time to stop putting childcare in a box labelled ' too difficult to fix ' and instead put the hard yards in to deliver the fundamental reform required . Families deserve action , not excuses . The additional funding announced by the Welsh Government for the next financial year demonstrates that the voices of school leaders are finally being heard above the crowd . We can not underestimate the scale of the funding crisis facing schools , but this news , coupled with the in-year investment announced for education last week , will go some way to repairing the damage . However , the scale of the financial challenges school leaders are grappling with shows now is not the time or complacency . Our recent survey of school leaders highlighted how many school leaders are facing impossible choices and having to cut staffing and support for pupils , which can not be right . We need to ensure that this money goes directly to schools and will be working with the government and local authorities for that assurance . While the increase in the local government settlement for 2024/25 means that councils now have money money to invest , but it 's absolutely essential they are mindful that that includes core funding for schools . This news will help in the short term , but we continue to campaign for a fair and equitable school funding system in Wales that levels the playing field . It is not right that school leaders have to go to extreme lengths to ensure their children get a fair deal . We will follow up with the Welsh Government to ensure that the money allocated for schools reflects at a minimum , the education consequential funding that came to Wales as result of the increased education spending in England . Schools and pupils must not be short-changed due to the difficult financial circumstances of the public sector as a whole . Share 13:25Ruth Mosalski " We are prioritising support for the agriculture sector by maintaining the Basic Payment Scheme ceiling at ? 238m and providing an additional ? 5.5m resource and ? 14m capitalfunding for wider rural investment schemes . This will support the sector 's transition to the Sustainable Farming Scheme while also promoting green growth by encouraging sustainable land management practices and safeguarding jobs in the agricultural and environmental sectors .

All departments including health , education and rural affairs , will receive increases in both revenue and capital funding with the Welsh Government pledging it will allow " substantial investments in the school estate , NHS infrastructure , housing and public transport " . Capital expenditures are typically one-time large costs , like building new schools or hospitals , while revenue is the ongoing operating expenses . You can read all the latest live updates about the budget here . The Welsh Government say this budget includes ? 1.5bn of extra funding compared to last year - that figure is different to the ? 1.7bn extra the UK Government said it was giving Wales in the budget in October because their figure included spending over two financial years . For the first time at this stage of the budget process , the Welsh Government say that capital spending is more then ? 3bn . " This draft budget offers a real opportunity to start to rebuild and reinvigorate our public services . It delivers increases to all departments and a significant boost in capital funding , meaning more investment in the very fabric of our nation -- in our school and NHS estate , in housing and in public infrastructure . " This is good budget for Wales but it will take time to reverse the damage inflicted on Wales over 14 long years of neglect from previous UK administrations . " Now the budget is public , Labour needs to secure support from at least one other MS in order for it to pass a Senedd vote , which takes place in March . The ruling party has 30 of the 60 seats in the Senedd and therefore needs support from politicians of a different colour . Negotiations about securing that crucial vote will now continue . See how the draft budget unfolded below : 19:14Ruth Mosalski Emma Simmonds from Save the Children asked why the Welsh Government had not used this budget to address poverty . The Welsh Government stated that addressing poverty is an ' absolute priority ' so why not use this draft budget to do something about this ? While more money is promised across all government departments it 's concerning to see that there is no clear targeted investment in tackling child poverty , especially as figures remain stubbornly high in Wales and means that children are missing out on their basic rights to equal opportunities . We all know that the long-term consequence of poverty is ultimately going to impact more on public spending if immediate action is not taken . If the Welsh Government is serious about tackling child poverty , clear targets and a funded delivery plan need to be implemented as part of the Child Poverty Strategy . The Welsh Government also needs to follow the example of Scottish Government and put pressure on the UK Government to scrap the cruel two-child limit which affects over 65,000 children in Wales and could help lift many out of poverty . Share 19:12Ruth Mosalski Gareth Clubb , Director of WWF Cymru , said : Climate change and biodiversity loss remain the most significant threats to Wales ' future . This budget must put climate and nature action at the heart of spending to provide people and communities with a more resilient future . The last few weeks have shown the risks caused by the increasing frequency of extreme weather events . It 's vital that we put nature at the heart of our response and sufficient funding is allocated to support this . More trees and healthy soils can provide additional protections from threats like flooding by retaining water for longer and delaying its flow into rivers . But nature and climate also need to deliver for people and the economy . Welsh Government must prioritise interventions which foster a long-term , sustainable economic future . This should include supporting the transition to nature-friendly farming as well as supporting the development of marine sectors such as seaweed farming that can provide highly skilled careers across rural Wales and the restoration of our coastal ecosystems such as seagrass meadows which are crucial in our fight against climate change . Share 16:46Ruth Mosalski Mr Drakeford says today is the " start of the process " and there will be scrutiny over the coming months . He says the discussions will be about " growth " not reductions as they were last year . " I look forward to the process , I look forward to the debate on March 4 , " he says . Share 16:42Ruth Mosalski Mark Drakeford is responding to the debate now , explaining opposition parties were all asking for more money . He says there is a " day of reckoning " coming for Plaid Cymru . He says it will help get people faster treatment , build homes , held children with additional needs . " And they will vote against them all , that 's the day of reckoning for Plaid Cymru " . Mr Drakeford says if Plaid Cymru vote against the budget they will be telling the 22 councils in Wales they do not want them to have any of it . Mr Drakeford said he is open to discussions about " how this budget can be improved " . " If this is not the business you are in then the people of Wales will see through you " . Mr Drakeford , the finance minister for Wales , turns next to Jane Dodds , he asks about Natural Resources Wales and water pollution , saying he is " very keen " to invest in regulators if that generates more income . He says he is " very happy to continue that conversation with her after today " . Share 16:09Ruth Mosalski Jane Dodds , the sole Lib Dem MS in the Senedd could be a key player in this budget . Plaid Cymru told ruled itself out of backing the budget , making her the most likely person to assist Labour in geting the budget through . Ms Dodds welcomes the budget , but raises concerns she has about national insurance contributions impacting care homes . Ms Dodds says she wants to see more money for social care , and an increase in spending in terms of hospital discharges but also keeping people in their own homes . She says one off funding packages bring " relief " but she wants to hear about what additional support will be given . She speaks about water pollution , saying despite there being multiple penalties for their " dismal " performances they " keep getting away with this " and says conversely Natural Resources Wales are being " starved " of funds saying she wants to hear from Mr Drakeford about further funding for them . She says 28% of children in Wales are poor , and that number is going up . She says something that can be done is to remove the two child care , but childcare could be increased which would help the economy but help children have a better start in life . Maybe they 're all the wishlist items she will be laying on the table in order to offer Labour her vote - and get the budget through in March 's vote . Share 15:49Ruth Mosalski Simon Curtis , official for Equity , the perfomers union , said : " Today 's draft budget is disappointing for the arts and shows that the Welsh Government is still not listening to Equity , the arts sector or the Arts Council of Wales ( ACW ) . The First Minister may call this a budget " for hope " , but it provides none to our members who are already struggling to sustain careers in the industry . The extra ? 1,095,000 funding for ACW next year in no way makes up for the cuts of previous years -- and in a budget which includes ? 1bn of ' new money ' due to the Westminster budget , this increase in ACW funding is derisory . We can not forget that this is taking place against a backdrop of a 40% cut in funding in real terms since 2010 . This proposal will see the sector continue to struggle , with institutions -- like the Welsh National Opera -- continuing to be in crisis and cutting productions and workforce numbers . Today 's announcement also comes in stark contrast to the Scottish Government , who announced a ? 34m increase for arts and culture last week , showing real interest in the cultural infrastructure and workforce of their country . According to ACW figures , every ? 1 of funding they receive generates ? 2.51 back into the economy , yet this draft budget fails to acknowledge that good culture is good for the whole economy and provides no form of long-term investment or sustainability for the sector and its workforce . Share 15:45Ruth Mosalski Welsh farmers are faced with growing demands to deliver an ever increasing range of sustainability and environmental objectives , while continuing to produce high quality food . Considering the disproportionate cuts faced by the Welsh rural affairs budget over recent years , the Welsh Government 's decision to increase the climate change and rural affairs revenue budget by 6.6% is one to be welcomed . We do welcome the decision to maintain the BPS payment ceiling - which is crucial in providing a level of security for farmers in Wales as they face a plethora of other challenges and changes . Whilst additional funding has been provided for wider rural investment and environmental schemes , urgent questions remain regarding how this compares with the rural investment Wales historically received through the European support programmes . Share 15:43Ruth Mosalski " The headlines might look like good news but this is not good news , " she says . Ms Fychan says while the health budget has grown significantly there has been little or no difference to waiting times or cancer treatments , for example . Ms Fychan says " just beacuse this is a good budget it does n't mean it is adequate " . She repeats it does not deliver on promises made by Welsh Labour about how things would be better with a Welsh Labour government . Share 15:40Ruth Mosalski Heledd Fychan , Plaid Cymru spokeswoman , now takes her turn . She reiterates her lines from this morning that promises there would be differences once there was a Labour government at both ends of the M4 . She says there has n't been " the transformational change the people of Wales were promised " . Ms Fychan says a large chunk of money will be " swallowed up " to deal with the " short sighted " decision to up National Insurance contributions . She asks Mr Drakeford to outline his discussions with the UK Chancellor about the unintended consequences of that call by Labour . She says the Scottish government has introduced " radical solutions " about the fuel winter payments , but Wales has done nothing . Share 15:37Ruth Mosalski Mr Fox says he does n't think this budget goes far enough for social care . He says councils will still face ? 300m of pressures which will be reflected onto families via council tax increases . He says he fears some authorities will be left on a " cliff edge " . " Both Labour governments say they want growth but the fact is they stand in the way of growth " . Mr Fox says Welsh businesses are paying the highest business rates in the UK , but welcomes the multiplier will remain at 1% and that his prediction from this morning there may be changes to non-domestic rate relief not coming true . He welcomes local government and education funding , " somehing is clearly going wrong " he says . He welcomes a rise to rural affairs , with ? 62m being taken away last year , and today 's rise only makes up half of that . Mr Fox says people will continue to be " let down " by Labour . " It does n't have to be like this , " he says , ending his contribution . Share 15:30Ruth Mosalski Conservative spokesman on finance , Peter Fox , says it is time for Labour to take responsibility . He says the " weakest economy and lowest pay " is Labour 's fault . He says a UK Labour government makes the future look " bleak " criticising them for taking away fuel payments for the elderly . Mr Fox says he " would have hoped to see schemes for pensioners in Wales who fall outside the threshold for fuel allowances in winter " . Share 15:26Ruth Mosalski Mark Drakeford says it is a budget for " priorities , for growth , and reminds people of Wales why they have put their faith in a Labour government " . Alongside the draft budget , I have published a distributional analysis , which shows where the benefits of today 's allocations will be most keenly felt . In sector after sector -- in health , education , higher education , bus travel and social care -- this is a budget which increases spending most in the 20% of our population which has the least . It is a budget for priorities , it is a budget for growth , and it is a budget which reminds people in Wales why , time after time , they have put their trust in a Labour government . A government which shares their values of trust , ambition , care for one another , and especially those who need that care the most and that , Llywydd , is why this is a budget for hope , and a budget for a brighter future . Mr Drakeford ends to applause from his benches . Share 15:17Ruth Mosalski Mr Drakeford says he is making maximum use of the borrowing available to the Welsh Government , some ? 150m of capital funding . He references a road repairs scheme , totalling ? 60m . " When all this drawn together is a capital budget for 2025-26 exceeds ? 3bn for the first time in the devolution era " . I confirm this afternoon that , once again next year , I intend to make maximum use of the borrowing capacity of the Welsh Government , adding a further ? 150 million to capital expenditure in 2025-26 . Local authorities in Wales are also able to borrow for investment . In cooperation with local government colleagues , I have decided to provide revenue support which will enable local authorities to self-finance ? 60 million of capital funding to be spent in a new programme of highway maintenance , further extending our capital programme for next year , and the contribution which Wales can make to reinvigorating growth in our economy . The capital budget of the Welsh Government in 2025-26 will exceed ? 3 billion at the time of Draft Budget for the first time in devolution . Share 15:15Ruth Mosalski Mr Drakeford says the rates relief for hospitality and retail will be continued , but this is the final year . Share 15:11Ruth Mosalski Mark Drakeford begins speaking . He says he has a " privilege " of putting forward this budget . Mr Drakeford says he can demonstrate what has changed by reminding people that last March , then Chancellor Jeremy Hunt gave Wales ? 1m in additional funding . " Now , a Labour chancellor determined to put our economy back on the path to growth recognised this could only be achieved by investment " . As he stood in the chamber , he said the draft budget reflected " in full " the additional ? 235m in capital provided by Rachel Reeves " and more " . In March , in his final budget , chancellor Jeremy Hunt provided an uplift in the capital budgets available to the Welsh Government . In an era of rampant construction cost inflation , for all the investment needed in our schools , hospitals , housing and transport , he offered an additional ? 1 million . Fast forward to 30 October . Now , a Labour chancellor determined to put our economy back on the path to growth , recognised this can only be achieved by investment : investment in the conditions which allow an economy to grow and , Llywydd , not just a theoretical recognition , but one that was intensely practical . Instead of presenting a budget to you today with only ? 1million additional capital to allocate , this Draft Budget reflects , in full the additional ? 235million capital provided by Rachel Reeves in October -- and more . Share 15:00Ruth Mosalski Mark Drakeford 's statement is imminent . Mr Drakeford is in the Senedd chamber ready to make his statement about the draft budget . It is scheduled to last for 90 minutes . Share 14:58Ruth Mosalski Sara Jones , Head of the Welsh Retail Consortium , has welcomed today 's budget . She said the non-domestic rates multiplier being capped at 1% " recognises the huge burden this outdated tax has on business " however she says it needs a fundamental overhaul . " The multiplier is at a 25-year high and remains higher in Wales than in England and Scotland , acting as a significant barrier to investment , jobs and growth . " Retailers have already been clobbered by the UK Government 's colossal increase in employer national insurance contributions , disproportionately impacting the industry which has seen sales flatline for much of the year . We will be seeking opportunities to engage in targeted interventions when it comes to business rates over the course of 2025 , helping to ensure we have thriving shops of all sizes and successful high streets ensuring breadth of choice , convenience and experience for customers . " Share 14:14Ruth Mosalski For local government , it 's a drop in the ocean compared to what 's required to meet the growing challenges councils face . This will inevitably lead to more cuts to essential services and higher council tax for families already struggling to make ends meet . The lack of meaningful investment in local government will have serious consequences for social care , creating a ripple effect that piles even more pressure onto our NHS . While additional cash is being directed to the NHS frontline to tackle immediate challenges -- many of Labour 's own making -- the failure to invest in preventative healthcare and social care through local councils will only deepen the vicious cycle dragging the NHS down . Share 14:06Ruth Mosalski NHS organisations in Wales have made strides in driving financial efficiencies , prioritising the push to operate within their financial allocations . Aside from the money itself , NHS leaders need a flexible , supportive governance structure to be more agile to respond to the needs of the population and use resources more effectively . NHS leaders will welcome the proposed additional capital investment for the NHS . However , this must be sustained beyond the next financial year to bring NHS estates and equipment in line with modern standards to reduce waiting lists , ensure safety for staff and patients , meet targets to reduce carbon emissions and improve patient outcomes . Financial certainty has a huge impact on the NHS 's ability to effectively plan and deliver quality services to provide the best outcomes for patients . NHS leaders will welcome multi-year settlements for resource and capital at the conclusion of the UK Spending Review . Unless we move from short-term to long-term thinking and budget setting to give sectors some long-term financial certainty , we can not expect to achieve a sustainable health and care system and a healthier population . Share 14:04Ruth Mosalski CPT Cymru is the voice of the coach and bus sector in Wales , Aaron Hill , Director of CPT Cymru , said : The 200,000 people who take buses in Wales every day will welcome the increase in bus funding in today 's Draft Budget . However , with costs rising fast , this money may not be sufficient to sustain existing routes and services , let alone grow them . From the rising price of vehicle maintenance to an additional ? 3m in National Insurance contributions next year , Welsh bus operators are grappling with myriad cost increases , that will ultimately drive higher fares or fewer services without more investment from government . CPT Cymru urges the Welsh Government to deliver on its commitment to improve the bus network by doubling today 's increase to ? 18m before the final Budget next year . Failing to do this risks making the Welsh bus network less attractive and making it harder for people to get to work , to access education and healthcare , and to stay connected to their local communities . Share 14:03Ruth Mosalski Darren Millar is taking his first session as leader of the opposition after being named Welsh Conservative leader , having been appointed uncontested last week . Andrew RT Davies now sits behind him on the backbenches . Mr Millar tells the Senedd it is his job to hold Labour to account but where possible , he will work with the Labour government for the benefit of the people of Wales . Mr Millar uses one of his questions to ask about the UK Government decision to up employer national insurance contributions . Mr Millar said that decision will impact people in Wales . " Your government is laying its budget today , can you tell us how much is going to be gobbled up to cover those employer national insurance increases across our country " . First Minister Eluned Morgan replies saying : " You really do have a cheek Darren , on your first outing you come here and talk about devastating decisions . Let me tell you about one , Liz Truss , there 's a devastating decision . The price people are paying today is as a direct result of some of the decisions she made . We have a ? 22bn black hole in the budget we need to fill , some of that will need to be filled by that NI contribution . Those directly employed by the public sector will be covered in terms of National Insurance " . Mr Millar said her answer did n't cut it , beacuse " hundreds of millions " of pounds will " go straight back down the M4 " . " This is a smoke and mirrors situation that takes with one hand and gives with the other " . Share 13:53Ruth Mosalski There will be ? 1m for the discretionary assistance fund to provide emergency support ? 1.4m will go to helping the digitally excluded ? 5m to the " supporting communities " to help tackle food poverty ? 1m of support will go to " organisations andvolunteers continue to provide vital services to the most vulnerable individuals and families " with ? 13,000 to credit unions There will be ? 1.2m for delivering the Violence against Women and Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Strategy Share 13:50Ruth Mosalski Councils will get an additional ? 253m via the local government settlement . Of the total spending of Wales ' 22 councls , 30% goes to social care and ? 38% on education . " We will continue to work in partnership with local authorities to ensurewe do all we can within the funding available , " the Welsh Government say . Share 13:48Ruth Mosalski There will be ? 27m invested in the strategic road network , that is major A roads and motorways , to address the " significant maintenance backlog " and fix roads . There will be a ? 25m fund to improve 100km of the network ( which totals 1,510km ) and reduce potholes . Share 13:47Ruth Mosalski There is an additional ? 70m resource and ? 51m capital being promised " to modernise our railway and deliver a better bus network , to fix our roads , and provide local choice on 20mph . " We are continuing to invest in rail services in the areas which are the responsibility of the Welsh Government . Our priority is the completion of the transformational Core Valley Lines project from a Victorian coal line to a modern Metro system . The total allocation to the rail capital budget ( including non-Core Valley Lines elements ) is ? 181.6m . In terms of buses , where we expect a new bus law next year , ? 9m is being invested for the additional cost of services and demand-led concessionary fares scheme . Share 13:44Ruth Mosalski There will be ? 81m of capital funding for the social housing grant and **25;466;TOOLONG capital programmes which will deliver more homes for social rent to end homelessness . A further ? 26.25m of capital has been made available to continue to support loans to Registered Social Landlords ( RSL ) . There will be ? 5.5m of capital for housing adaptions via the independent living programme Share 13:43Ruth Mosalski In terms of education : There will be ? 7m given to helping get more children back to schools and battle low school attendance figures ? 10m of additional resource funding will support learning and attainment in literacy and numeracy , to support phonics support , as well as specific and targeted interventions to support learners struggling with literacy and numeracy . It will also help to improve data collection on literacy and numeracy to support schools The Cymraeg 2050 resource budget will be uplifted by ? 4.6m in 2025-26 , ? 3.5m of this funding will support theWelsh language , including Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol and the National Centre for Learning Welsh Share 13:40Ruth Mosalski Oxfam Cymru says the increased spend on childcare provision in Wales is a positive step , but it falls short of the bold action needed to tackle child poverty and gender inequality in Wales . Sarah Rees , Head of Oxfam Cymru , said : The new commitments on childcare while welcome , barely scratch the surface of the action needed to address years of chronic underfunding and the deeply dysfunctional , disjointed patchwork of funded childcare provision that continues to force parents across Wales out of the workforce and into poverty . " You ca n't fix a broken leg with a bandage . It 's time to stop putting childcare in a box labelled ' too difficult to fix ' and instead put the hard yards in to deliver the fundamental reform required . Families deserve action , not excuses . The additional funding announced by the Welsh Government for the next financial year demonstrates that the voices of school leaders are finally being heard above the crowd . We can not underestimate the scale of the funding crisis facing schools , but this news , coupled with the in-year investment announced for education last week , will go some way to repairing the damage . However , the scale of the financial challenges school leaders are grappling with shows now is not the time or complacency . Our recent survey of school leaders highlighted how many school leaders are facing impossible choices and having to cut staffing and support for pupils , which can not be right . We need to ensure that this money goes directly to schools and will be working with the government and local authorities for that assurance . While the increase in the local government settlement for 2024/25 means that councils now have money money to invest , but it 's absolutely essential they are mindful that that includes core funding for schools . This news will help in the short term , but we continue to campaign for a fair and equitable school funding system in Wales that levels the playing field . It is not right that school leaders have to go to extreme lengths to ensure their children get a fair deal . We will follow up with the Welsh Government to ensure that the money allocated for schools reflects at a minimum , the education consequential funding that came to Wales as result of the increased education spending in England . Schools and pupils must not be short-changed due to the difficult financial circumstances of the public sector as a whole . Share 13:25Ruth Mosalski " We are prioritising support for the agriculture sector by maintaining the Basic Payment Scheme ceiling at ? 238m and providing an additional ? 5.5m resource and ? 14m capitalfunding for wider rural investment schemes . This will support the sector 's transition to the Sustainable Farming Scheme while also promoting green growth by encouraging sustainable land management practices and safeguarding jobs in the agricultural and environmental sectors .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('you' + 'got' + 'your intended subject' + 'out of hiding'). It implies a movement or extraction interpretation where the subject is causing the object to move out of hiding. The verb 'got' can be considered as a means to achieve the goal, fitting into the nonspecific means category. The NP object 'your intended subject' functions as a causee participating in the event described by 'hiding'. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

One of the best cozy games that I do n't ever see enough people putting on their cozy GOAT lists is Toem , a black & white adventure game about completing a photography stamp book challenge . I never anticipated getting more of its silly charm but developer Something We Made has just announced the sequel , Toem 2 , during the Wholesome Snack showcase and I am delighted . The teaser at the Wholesome show was super brief but Something We Made shared a few more screenshots on its new Steam page . Toem 2 is keeping the all black & white aesthetic but looks like it 's going proper 3D instead of the isometric perspective of Toem . The rest sounds like a lot more of just what I enjoyed in the original . " Step back into the shoes of a curious photographer and set off on a brand new adventure all about uncovering hidden details , helping friends along the way , and documenting the world 's little wonders in Toem 2 , " its developer says . " The team is back together , including our amazing composers ! " Something We Made added on X. " Together , we 're working hard making it something that can stand proudly beside the original game , celebrating what worked , while improving the rest . " The original Toem is an adorably goofy adventure where you follow hints on your stamp rally card to photograph things around you in ways you may not expect , sort of like a Pok ? mon Snap that moves at your pace . Sometimes you need to find and wear an outfit to complete a clue . Other times you 've got to work out how to get your intended subject out of hiding . Other times you 're attending and documenting a bear rave in the forest . Toem 2 ( Image credit : Something We Made ) Although there 's very little to go on in the Toem 2 store page , I 'd be willing to bet that it will share a lot of those adventure game vibes by making you figure out how to progress to new areas , solve problems for NPCs , and collect a wardrobe of silly fits . The only other thing I 'm hoping to get from Toem 2 is a slightly longer adventure , even though the original was a delightfully short and sweet few hours . There 's no release date for Toem 2 just yet so you 'll just need to wishlist it to keep track of it for later .

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

Reeves revealed the move to hike employer NI contributions from 13.8% to 15% would come into force from April 2025 but the allowance -- which enables employers to reduce their liability -- would more than double to ? 10,500 to shield the smallest organisations from the tax . The chief executive of Children in Scotland , Dr Judith Turbyne , has been in her role for three years and said it had been crisis after crisis in the charity sector . She said : " There was Covid , there was the cost of living , and over that time what you 've been seeing is , bit by bit by bit , a lot of charities getting stretched . " Charities , traditionally since Victorian times , have played that key role in delivering services , in partnership with the statute services . " I think one of the real things is , over these last three years , what you 're finding is that ? organisations offering services are getting increasingly stretched , and there 's a lot of different impacts about that . " As for National Insurance -- it 's lovely that there 's a proposal for bringing more money into public services . " But , for charities , what that means -- because we are not exempt , because we pay this money -- it 's a real significant impact , particularly for middle-sized and big-size charities . " So the tiny ones , if you 've only got a few members of staff , they wo n't be impacted , right ? So that 's great . So you 've got a few organisations out there who will be fine , but anybody who 's got about eight , it 's quite a few members of staff . " For us -- not a huge nor tiny organisation -- it 's going to be about a ? 25,000 impact , which is a lot when everything else is stretched . " What is it for other , bigger organisations that are offering multiple services ? There are quite a few of them . You 've got to budget for next year now , and that 's got to come out of something . " And so , generally , what that means is it , bit by bit , you 've got to make the difficult decisions . " The National Council For Voluntary Organisations ( NVCO ) previously sent a letter signed by 7,300 charities and volunteer organisations to the Chancellor asking for them to be exempt from the hike , without success . The CCPS has now sent a letter signed by more than 80 not-for-profit social care organisations urging the Chancellor to provide relief on increased Employers ' National Insurance bills for them as ? providers of crucial public services . The organisation represents nearly 90 providers of social care across Scotland estimated to have a bill of around ? 30 million next year with no way to pay it . She said : " We ca n't put prices up because we 're offering social care to people . " Most of our providers , provide public services through contracts , and those contracts are already facing enormous pressure because the public sector does n't have enough money to do what it 's meant to do . " So we hope that they 'll pay for it , but they may not , and the impact of that is going to be pretty catastrophic . " " I think the letter from the Chancellor completely misunderstands how public services in a contemporary world are delivered because she 's giving relief to the public sector , but the public sector contracts us to deliver services on their behalf , and she 's not exempting us . " So it 's a fundamental ? misunderstanding of the sector and the consequences of the decision and it not being thought through . " And we will challenge the response , and we will do that thoroughly . " But , in the end , if Westminster refuses to deal with the fact they 've made a UK policy that will destabilise the UK social care market and NHS , essentially , then we will have to go to the Scottish Government to say you 're going to have to fund this , or you 're going to see a ? massive loss of service . " The Treasury claimed the new measures included protections for small charities and businesses . It said : " Our tax regime for ? charities , including exemption from paying business rates , is among the most generous of anywhere in the world , with tax reliefs for charities and their donors worth just over ? 6 billion for the tax year to April 2024 . " We have protected small charities and businesses by more than doubling the Employment Allowance to ? 10,500 , meaning more than half of them with NICs liabilities either gain or see no change next year . " Charities will still be able to claim employer NICs reliefs where eligible and are still exempt from business rates . " " With more than 55,000 women diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK each year and prevalence rising , it 's more vital now than ever that we 're here for anyone affected by this devastating disease . " The Covid-19 pandemic , ongoing cost-of-living crisis and recent rise in National Insurance costs to businesses have presented significant financial challenges to the charity sector , at a time when they are needed most by their beneficiaries . " I 'm extremely proud of how , at Breast Cancer Now , we 've rapidly pivoted and adapted to ensure we continue to be there for those who 've needed our support even more in these challenging times and , thanks to our incredible supporters , we 've been able to minimise the financial impact of the triple-threat posed by these challenges on our charity . " That said , navigating these challenges at a time when breast cancer diagnoses are rising , our need for people to donate to and support our work is greater than ever so that we can continue to meet the needs of anyone affected by breast cancer . We have bold ambitions and a vision that by 2050 , everyone diagnosed with breast cancer will live and live well , but we can not achieve this alone . " " Charities provide vital services and support within communities , many of these are funded through statutory commissioning . We all know that over the last decade especially these contracts have become harder to deliver , the driving down of price also driving down choice and quality . The greatest burden of this is sadly carried by the people who need us most . " Across the Mind federation , the implications of the NIC rise is eye-watering , at a time when we are trying to direct every penny towards delivering the best support . As not-for-profit organisations , we are asking for the government to reconsider the implications for us , and ultimately our ability to support our populations mental health . " We want to do our bit to create a mentally healthy society , that includes ploughing everything we have into it , but we need the government to recognise this huge investment and not destabilise further by mounting costs we simply can not continue to subsidise . We need a fair funding settlement , not another hefty bill . " " It is a real challenge in Scotland that in some places , all palliative care is fully funded as part of the NHS -- in other areas only around 40% is funded , so the public are having to make up the difference . Care at the end of life should be as equally available as care at the start of life -- but it is not . " Funding of our services is not increasing at the same rate as our costs to deliver high-quality end-of-life care . This means we are constantly juggling how we can afford to deliver the services we know are needed and in some places , through no fault of our own , we have had to reduce the care we can give . " There is not a level playing field for the people of Scotland -- some health and social care partnerships will offer us a small uplift , others have not , but none are keeping up with increasing costs , particularly staff costs , and we now have to factor in an increase National Insurance contributions which will cost Marie Curie across the UK ? 2.9m . " Every year , Marie Curie cares for over 8,000 people at home , and in our two Scottish hospices , but with 95% of people in Scotland predicted to need palliative care come 2040 , if the system is already underfunded , and dying people are not getting the care and support they need now , it 's a devastating blow . " " The past four years have been a series of blows that have meant -- and continue to mean -- we 're not able to support as many stroke survivors as we want to . " Covid saw us struggling to keep pace with demand for help , as we all grappled with social distancing and remote working , whilst rising inflation has meant we 've increased salary spend to ensure our staff can afford the essentials . " The National Insurance increase will affect staff costs moving forward to the tune of ? 700,000 annually . We 've been working hard to raise funds to achieve our ambition of reaching every newly diagnosed stroke survivor with vital support .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'come out of' in a different sense, unrelated to the transitive out of -ing construction.

Reeves revealed the move to hike employer NI contributions from 13.8% to 15% would come into force from April 2025 but the allowance -- which enables employers to reduce their liability -- would more than double to ? 10,500 to shield the smallest organisations from the tax . The chief executive of Children in Scotland , Dr Judith Turbyne , has been in her role for three years and said it had been crisis after crisis in the charity sector . She said : " There was Covid , there was the cost of living , and over that time what you 've been seeing is , bit by bit by bit , a lot of charities getting stretched . " Charities , traditionally since Victorian times , have played that key role in delivering services , in partnership with the statute services . " I think one of the real things is , over these last three years , what you 're finding is that ? organisations offering services are getting increasingly stretched , and there 's a lot of different impacts about that . " As for National Insurance -- it 's lovely that there 's a proposal for bringing more money into public services . " But , for charities , what that means -- because we are not exempt , because we pay this money -- it 's a real significant impact , particularly for middle-sized and big-size charities . " So the tiny ones , if you 've only got a few members of staff , they wo n't be impacted , right ? So that 's great . So you 've got a few organisations out there who will be fine , but anybody who 's got about eight , it 's quite a few members of staff . " For us -- not a huge nor tiny organisation -- it 's going to be about a ? 25,000 impact , which is a lot when everything else is stretched . " What is it for other , bigger organisations that are offering multiple services ? There are quite a few of them . You 've got to budget for next year now , and that 's got to come out of something . " And so , generally , what that means is it , bit by bit , you 've got to make the difficult decisions .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'get out of testifying' involves an intransitive verb 'get' with no NP object, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to describe a personal desire to avoid testifying rather than causing someone else to avoid an action.

Over four years after it began , Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took the witness stand on Tuesday for the first time to give testimony in his long-running corruption trial . Netanyahu , 75 , has been widely accused of using Israel 's various regional wars as a way of either avoiding giving evidence in the trial or even ending it completely . Last month he reportedly asked Shin Bet , Israel 's internal security agency , to help him get out of testifying , arguing that it would be a security risk for him to be in a known location for an extended period . Israel 's longest-serving leader and its defining politician , who now heads a government dependent on key members of the country 's far-right settler movement , is the first sitting Israeli prime minister to be charged with a crime . Charged with bribery , fraud and breach of trust , Netanyahu will testify three times a week , the court said , despite Israel 's war on Gaza , the fragile ceasefire in Lebanon and its incursions into Syria . The Palestinian death toll in besieged Gaza rose to 44,758 on Tuesday , as Israel shows no sign of stopping the bloodshed . Netanyahu was indicted in 2019 in three cases involving gifts from millionaire friends and for allegedly seeking regulatory favours for media tycoons in return for favourable coverage . He denies any wrongdoing . ' I have been waiting for eight years for this moment to tell the truth ... I am leading the country through a seven-front war . And I think the two can be done in parallel ' - Benjamin Netanyahu The prime minister arrived at Tel Aviv District Court at around 10am local time on Tuesday morning , wearing a dark blue suit and white shirt , with an Israeli flag pin on one label and a yellow ribbon symbolising the hostages held in Gaza on the other . " I have been waiting for eight years for this moment to tell the truth , " Netanyahu told the three judges hearing the case in an underground courtroom , according to Reuters . " But I am also a prime minister ... I am leading the country through a seven-front war . And I think the two can be done in parallel . " Before Netanyahu took the stand , his lawyer Amit Hadad told judges that there were fundamental flaws in the case against his client , and that prosecutors " were n't investigating a crime , they were going after a person . " Outside the courtroom , a few dozen protesters had gathered , some of them supporters and others - including family members of the roughly 100 hostages still held by Hamas in Gaza - calling for Netanyahu to stop obstructing a deal to bring those hostages home . Alon Pinkas , a prominent Israeli diplomat , told Middle East Eye Netanyahu 's appearance in court was " significant but not critical since his testimony will take months " . Of the various allegations levelled at Netanyahu , the most eye-catching involve the receipt of nearly $200,000 worth of gifts from a billionaire Hollywood film producer . Arnon Milchan , an Israeli businessman , film producer and former spy , took the stand last June to describe how he routinely delivered tens of thousands of dollars worth of champagne , cigars and other gifts requested by Netanyahu . According to the court indictment , Milchan , whose production credits include hits such as Pretty Woman and 12 Years a Slave , gave Netanyahu and his wife boxes of cigars , jewellery and crates of champagne over a period of several years . On the eve of his testimony , Netanyahu was typically bullish in his defence , describing his investigation as a witch hunt and claiming that for " eight years I 've been waiting for this day . Eight years I have waited to present the truth . " " The real threat to democracy in Israel is not posed by the public 's elected representatives , but by some among the law enforcement authorities who refuse to accept the voters ' choice and are trying to carry out a coup with rabid political investigations that are unacceptable in any democracy , " he added in a statement . Netanyahu 's son , Yair , has compared those investigating his father to Nazi Germany 's Gestapo and East Germany 's Stasi . Before Israel 's war on Gaza began in the wake of the 7 October Hamas-led attacks , Netanyahu 's legal troubles bitterly divided Israelis and shook the country 's politics through five rounds of elections . His government 's bid last year to curb powers of the judiciary further polarised Israelis , but the shock of the Hamas-led attacks and the ensuing war swept Netanyahu 's trial off the public agenda as the country united . In recent weeks , though , members of Netanyahu 's cabinet have clashed with Israel 's judiciary and the International Criminal Court ( ICC ) has heaped further legal jeopardy onto Netanyahu by issuing arrest warrants for him and his former defence minister , Yoav Gallant . Both men are charged by the ICC with alleged war crimes . Nevertheless , an Israeli security source told MEE they expected Netanyahu to remain in power in the short to medium term .

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

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate).

Love them or hate them , PA systems are a necessary part of live music - and if you 're a gigging musician , it pays to have your own . Now , we fully understand why many performers are - dare we say - a little scared of PA speakers . Sound reinforcement was once purely generated by carpet-clad , oblong boxes that were not only difficult to set up , but they threatened to give you a hernia if you simply looked at them . Nowadays , things have thankfully moved on , with the best portable PA systems able to deliver room-filling sound despite their small size and lightweight nature . In this guide , we 've chosen to focus on speaker systems that are specially designed for smaller venues - in particular , portable PA systems to suit solo singers , duos and trios on the move . While it 's true that a band could use these portable PAs - albeit as just a way to amplify the vocals - really , you 'd want to go for a larger solution . We 've made sure to include options from the most prominent names in pro audio , with mobile systems from the likes of Bose , Roland , JBL and Yamaha , among many others . When it comes to game-changing PA speakers , Bose is the leading force .

For us , the Stagepas 1K really shines in a small to medium-sized venue . We 've personally used this system for an open mic night in a busy city centre pub and the 1000W of power was more than enough to ensure the vocals and acoustic guitars were heard over the clanking of glasses and sound of punters in high spirits .

( Image credit : Future ) MusicRadar 's got your back Our team of expert musicians and producers spends hours testing products to help you choose the best music-making gear for you . Find out more about how we test . Getting the correct PA system for the job is incredibly important . Get it right , and you 'll never have sounded better , however , get it wrong and you may not be heard at all . Of course , as you 'd imagine , which portable PA you go for really depends on the size of the venues you 're playing , how many sound sources you plan on plugging in and your budget . InputsFor a starting place , let 's first look at the number of inputs you require . Luckily , every portable PA system on this list allows you to plug instruments and microphones directly into the speaker via the onboard mixer , meaning you do n't need to invest in any extra gear - not to mention it 's one less thing to carry ! However , it does mean that you need to think carefully about the number of inputs you need before you make a purchase . While units such as the Bose S1 or Mackie Thump GO will happily allow a singer-songwriter to plug in an acoustic guitar , vocal microphone and backing track , it 's worth considering if you 'll need any more inputs for additional instruments further down the road . PowerThe next consideration is , of course , the power of the system . Now , how powerful - or loud - your system needs to be , depends on several factors . Everything from the size of the venue , the number of audience members in attendance or whether or not you are indoors or outdoors will dictate what wattage you go for . Most manufacturers will give you a rough indication of the size of the gig their speakers are capable of , so it 's worth checking their website for guidance . Modern-day PAs often come loaded with extra features , but how many of these hi-tech add-ons do you really need ? Well , most systems come with built-in effects such as reverb , chorus , delay and compressors . These are a must for music performances but not needed at all for spoken word applications . A robust EQ section is handy for both situations and allows you to finely shape the sound . It 's also worth noting that many systems these days come with an accompanying mobile app , which allows you to mix the music wirelessly from anywhere in the venue - a convenient feature indeed .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'cut me out of everything' does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate, and there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

A former security guard who claims Sean ' Diddy ' Combs sodomized him at one of his infamous ' White Parties ' alleged that a second celebrity watched on and ' found it amusing . ' The accuser , who has remained an anonymous John Doe since originally filing a lawsuit against Combs in October , told CNN that his experience at the White Party left him traumatized for years . ' The full gravity of it lives with me to this day , ' the man , who remained anonymous for his interview , said . ' It affects every single thing you do for the rest of your life . ' CNN noted multiple inconsistencies between his interview and original complaint , including the year changing from 2006 to 2007 , and location changing from St. Tropez to the Hamptons . Doe 's attorney later amended the complaint and put the mistakes down to a rush to file . According to the guard 's lawsuit , at one point in the evening Combs personally handed him a drink , which he initially thought was just ' really strong . ' By the time Combs offered him a second drink , he claims it was already ' too late ' as he began to feel ' extremely ill ' , likening the effects to having around 15 drinks . ' It was just an amazing level of incapacitation that I had never experienced before and I felt powerless , ' he said . While suffering from what he now-believes was GBH and ecstasy spiked in the drinks , the guard said he ' was n't able to stand ' , at which point Diddy allegedly approached him . Although Combs ' behavior was ' initially interpreted as concern ' , the lawsuit claims the disgraced rap mogul then pushed him into an SUV , where he allegedly sodomized him while the guard pleaded for help . A former security guard claims Sean ' Diddy ' Combs sodomized him at one of his infamous ' White Parties ' in 2007 . The rapper is pictured at his party that year The security guard claimed in a lawsuit and to CNN that when Diddy allegedly attacked him in 2007 ( pictured at the party ) , another unnamed A-lister watched on in amusement The accuser , who has remained an anonymous John Doe since originally filing a lawsuit against Combs in October , said his experience at the White Party left him traumatized for years When the alleged attack was taking place , the guard 's lawsuit claims that ' there was a high-profile individual who saw what happened and found it amusing . ' The famous witness is not named in the allegation . He said he was in severe pain and was disorientated by the alleged spiking after the attack , and struggled to find his way out of the party . When he eventually did so , the security guard claims he tried to report the incident to his boss , which he claims led to him being ' blacklisted ' from the industry . ' He just dismissed it and said , ' I 'll talk to him , ' ' John Doe said . ' After that , he did n't talk to me again , he cut me out of everything ... I was totally blacklisted after that . I had to find a different field . ' Now 17 years after the alleged attack , Doe says his life has never been the same since and led to the breakdown of his marriage as he hid it from his wife for years . ' Nothing could give me back the person I was before that evening , ' he told CNN . Although some accusers have come forward publicly - with Combs ' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura 's since-dropped lawsuit in November 2023 leading to an avalanche of other accusers - Doe says he does not feel safe unless he is anonymous . ' I have a semblance of a life , a very quiet life , ' he said . ' I would prefer what little is left of it to be left alone . ' Diddy 's White Parties were known for their A-list guest lists , and the disgraced mogul is pictured in 2007 with ( L-R ) Doug E Fresh and Andre Harrell . No other celebrities pictured have been accused of wrongdoing at the party Diddy seen at the 2007 White Party with musician Tommy Lee Jones Models pose at the White Party in 2007 in the Hamptons After allegations were made by Cassie Ventura , upwards of 120 other accusers have come forward , all represented by attorneys Tony Buzbee and Andrew Van Arsdale . The attorneys have only filed 20 civil suits , but say they have around 100 others ready . The youngest allegation involves a 9-year-old boy . Combs ' representatives declined to comment to CNN after the security guard 's allegations , however his defense did issue a blanked statement in October when his original lawsuit was filed . He said in a statement at the time : ' Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts , their legal defenses , and the integrity of the judicial process . ' In court , the truth will prevail : that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone -- adult or minor , man or woman . ' Combs was charged in September and is being held in federal custody on sex trafficking and racketeering charges . He pleaded not guilty . |

The news at the weekend that the great baseball player Juan Soto is about to sign the richest deal in the history of professional sport got me thinking about how rugby here in Scotland could benefit . In case you 've missed it , Soto has left the New York Yankees after his best season ever , which included helping them to win the World Series . A free agent at the season 's end , the 26-year-old Dominican outfielder will complete signing his new deal after medical analysis , but that should be a formality , and he will join the Yankees ' great local rivals the New York Mets -- think Rangers ' best striker signing for Celtic or vice-versa - on a 15-year contract worth a staggering $765m , or about ? 600m . He specialises in getting ' on base ' and does so almost more times than any other Major League Baseball player . Over the course of his career , Soto will become a billionaire thanks to endorsements and other activities , but it 's the size of his salary alone that has shaken baseball and several other sports in the USA , the main question seeming to be ' where will it all end ' ? Mets ' owner Steve Cohen , a hedge fund magnate , can afford Soto as he is worth a reputed $20 billion , and he is determined that the ' poor relations ' tag the Mets get when compared to the Yankees will be a thing of the past . So how can such an eye-watering deal help rugby in Scotland ? At first sight , it obviously can not do so , but think about this -- every child in the Dominican Republic will now be thinking ' if he can do it , so can I ' . Maybe not to the tune of hundreds of millions , but they will know if they are good enough and work hard enough they can make a decent living out of playing glorified rounders . These thoughts occurred to me after I was reviewing the results of the schools cup finals that took place at Murrayfield last Wednesday . The names of the finalists in the main boys ' tournaments were all too familiar . Every single one was an independent school , as private schools call themselves these days . State schools just did not figure , and no state school has won the Under 18 cup since Bell Baxter High School beat Dollar Academy in season 2006-07 . But then they did have Peter Horne and Chris Fusaro playing for them . The Under-16 cup and its predecessor the Under-15 cup has a similar story -- no state school has won that age group since Galashiels Academy in 2005-06 . Perhaps more worrying were the number of schools teams that were unable to fulfil fixtures earlier in the tournament with the main reason given on the SRU website being ' insufficient number of players ' . I am well aware of the difficulties that have faced state schools ' rugby in recent years . The SRU long again realised that there was a problem with rugby in state schools and we are in the midst of a strategy that is trying to improve the situation , and I 'm assured that it is working slowly but surely , with a claimed 176 schools playing some kind of part in the strategy . The Covid-19 pandemic is certainly to blame for some of the problems facing state schools . Some youngsters just stayed away for two seasons and never came back . Yes , independent schools suffered , too , but they bounced back better , so that they now rule the schools ' roost . It 's not a good look for rugby for the young people of Scotland if it appears elitist , and it certainly looks lop-sided when independent schools which have about 5 per cent of the school age population are winning cup after cup at Murrayfield and have been doing so for years . I asked several top people in youth rugby why the independent schools still completely dominate our sport at that level and the answer almost unanimously was one word -- resources . State schools just can not compete with those independent schools that pour money and coaching expertise into rugby , and even well-organised state school set-ups like Lenzie Academy and Peebles High School are playing second fiddle to the likes of George Watson 's College and Stewart 's Melville College . Based purely on results alone , the rugby gulf between independent and state schools is widening . There is also plenty anecdotal evidence that young boys in general are not really into rugby these days , though there are more young girls playing than ever before . There is one message that I think is not getting through to educationalists in the state sector . They should realise that pupils , male and female , could make a living playing professional rugby , and anyone with talent should be pointed in that direction . Incentivise youth and make them at least think of rugby as a means of making a living . In Scottish rugby , no one will ever earn the sums going to Juan Soto , but why not get our youth to appreciate that in this professional era , there might be a paid career in rugby for them .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'backed out of wearing Rainbow armbands' involves an intransitive verb 'backed out' with no NP object, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The FA have revealed why they decided to back Saudi Arabia 's bid for the 2034 World Cup , despite major human rights concerns . The Middle East state will host football 's premier international competition in a decade 's time , having been the only country to bid for the right . It is expected that the tournament will be held in winter like the 2022 edition , wreaking havoc to Europe 's club calendar . The FA fiercely opposed Qatar 's host status in 2022 , though backed out of wearing Rainbow armbands when FIFA threatened sanctions . This time around , they have opted to back Saudi 's bid , exposing them to allegations of hypocrisy . They have now attempted to explain the decision to back the bid . The FA revealed they had gained a committment from the Saudi bid 's chiefs that LGBT+ fans would be ' safe and welcome ' . There was no mention of a similar committment for LGBT+ players or LGBT+ Saudis . A statement from the governing body read : " After a careful review of both proposals , we supported the two World Cup bids - from Spain/Portugal/Morocco in 2030 , and Saudi Arabia in 2034 . " Both bids are technically strong and meet the FIFA criteria to host the Men 's World Cup . Our focus is on ensuring that all our fans can attend and enjoy tournaments . The FA Board met the Saudi Arabian Football Federation last month to discuss their bid in more detail . " We asked them to commit to ensuring all fans would be safe and welcome in Saudi Arabia in 2034 - including LGBTQ+ fans . They assured us that they are fully committed to providing a safe and welcome environment for all fans . Football is a global game , and is for everyone . " Our commitment to diversity and inclusion means being respectful of all , including all religions and cultures . We also believe that hosting World Cups can be a catalyst for positive change , which is best delivered by working collaboratively in partnership with host nations . We will work with FIFA and UEFA to ensure that commitments to respect all human rights are delivered . " Josh Cavallo , the first top-flight footballer to come out , told Mirror Football he would not feel safe playing in a Saudi World Cup ( Image : ABC Australia ) Saudi Arabia has a dire record on LGBT+ rights . Same-sex relations are illegal in Saudi Arabia and are punishable by the death penalty , unlimited prison terms , flogging , fines and forced deportation . Josh Cavallo , the first active out gay top-flight footballer , told Mirror Football in April that he would not feel safe playing in a Saudi World Cup . " I honestly would n't feel safe , " he said . " It 's so sad to say that but even in my football career , there 's certain countries I will not go to and play my club football or play with the national team in . " At the end of the day , it comes to a point where it 's your livelihood over your job which for me is incredibly sad because this is what I do , I wake up and I breathe football , this is what I 'm made for . " To know that I 'm limited and stuck in certain countries because they do n't approve of how I love or how I live my life is quite saddening . I would n't want to be entering a space like that at the moment . There 's a lot of improvement that needs to happen before I consider that . " Amnesty International 's released a damning report on the Saudi bid , concluding that it should be immediately halted to avoid abuses and deaths . Stephen Cockburn , the organisation 's Deputy Director , said : " Fifa knows that workers are likely to die if they hand the World Cup to Saudi Arabia without putting proper protections in place . " They will never be able to say that they were not warned , never be able to say that they did not have a chance to prevent it . As demands for justice and accountability inevitably grow , perhaps one day this fact will become important .

Fabrizio Ravanelli was the Premier League 's highest paid player in 1996 ( Image : PA ) An Italian hotshot who was once the Premier League 's highest paid star refused to pay a milkman ? 4.50 . Fabrizio Ravanelli shocked the world when he moved to Bryan Robson 's Middlesbrough from the mighty Juventus for a whopping ? 7m in 1996 . Nicknamed ' the White Feather ' on account of his iconic hair , he made an instant impact , scoring a hat-trick on his league debut against Liverpool on the opening day of the season in a 3-3 draw . ? Bankrolled by fiercely ambitious and extremely wealthy local businessman Steve Gibson , the club paid him a reported ? 42,000-a-week , making him the league 's biggest earner . He also ended the season as one of the division 's top scorers with 16 goals , but was n't able to prevent Boro from being relegated , despite reaching and losing in both the FA Cup final and League Cup final . However , the Italian was n't always popular - criticising everything from the training facilities , club regime and even Middlesbrough as a town - and seemingly was n't keen on parting with his cash , especially when it was time to pay the milkman . Craig Hignett , who was at Boro at the time , said the then-Italy international - who turns 56 today , December 11 - " just thought he should n't be paying for stuff like that " because of his status . Fabrizio Ravanelli scored 16 goals in his only season at Middlesbrough but could n't stop them being relegated ( Image : Getty Images ) ? He told the Undr The Cosh podcast : " The milkman came to his house and went , ' I need the milk money ' . Rav 's come to the door . ' I 've come for the milk money . You 've had Monday , Tuesday , nothing Wednesday , Thursday , Friday - ? 4.50 ' . " " Rav went , ' No , no , no , no no ' . He ( the milkman ) said , ' Is there a problem ? ' He ( Ravanelli ) said , ' Yes , it 's an honour I drink from your dairy ' . Deadly serious . ? 4.50 . The fella 's on 42 grand a week ! But he was f***ing brilliant - absolutely brilliant . I loved him . " Yet Hignett said it was n't an isolated incident . The former midfielder , who also played for Barnsley and Blackburn among other teams , said a similar would happen whenever Ravanelli went out to eat with his family , friends or entourage . ? Fabrizio Ravanelli was a global superstar when signed by Bryan Robson ( Image : GETTY ) He said : " The food would come and he 'd eat it , and then at the end of it he 'd click his fingers and get the young lad up for the bill . And he 'd give him the bill , and he 'd make the waiter stay there . " He 'd open this bill out and he 'd look down it , and then he 'd look at the waiter , and he 'd look back at the bill , and he 'd look at the waiter , and he 'd look back at the bill , and he 'd go , ' No , no , no , no , no ' . ? " And he 'd stand up , and he 'd point to all the bits of food he had n't eaten . ' Did n't like that , do n't like that , did n't like that . I only pay for what I eat ' . And then bump , off it goes . " Ravanelli , won the Champions League with Juve in 1996 , scoring five goals in the competition , before moving to Boro . He even tried to use his iconic celebration to get out of paying his ? 5,000 phone bill , according to Hignett . Craig Hignett played for Boro with Ravanelli and said he " loved him " ( Image : Mirrorpix ) ? At the time , Middlesbrough were sponsored by Cellnet who provided all the players with phones . Ravanelli apparently ran up a huge bill after a string of long distance calls to his other half back in Italy , and Charles Porter , the man tasked with handling the players ' accounts , told him he had to cough up . Describing a confrontation at the training ground about a month into the season , Hignett said : " Fabrizio turned around and he went , ' How many goals have I scored this month ? ' " Charles went , ' Well you 've scored five this month . You had the hat trick against Liverpool and you 've scored two more - that 's five ' . He ( Ravanelli ) said , ' Yes , and what do I do when I score a goal ? ' And if you remember , he lifts his shirt over his head and he runs off . He ( Charles ) said , ' Well you lift your shirt up ' . ?

A consultation took place in January before final versions were submitted for approval . A quarter of the properties would be classed as affordable housing . Picture : Medway Development Company/BPTW Architecture A quarter of the properties would be affordable housing - 11 one-bedroom and 16 two-bedroom affordable flats and 12 one-bedroom and 10 two-bedroom shared ownership flats . Plans also include a cafe or bar and a workspace , and 142 parking spaces will be provided in a mix of car parks , on-street parking , garages and driveways . The report from officers outlines up to ? 1.7 million in developer contributions could be asked for in return for permission to redevelop the site - including for education , community facilities such as the Strood Sports Centre and Strood Library , and infrastructure . However , planning officers believe the cost to decontaminate the site as well as the 25% allocation of affordable housing poses such a significant amount that additionally requiring a Section 106 contribution would make the scheme unviable . The Strood project would feature 195 homes next to the River Medway . Picture : Medway Development Company/BPTW Architecture Officers believe the proposals to be so significantly beneficial to the redevelopment of the area that they are willing to forgo developer contributions in return for the plans as laid out with 25% affordable housing . Therefore , they have recommended the application for approval on the grounds it is a high-quality design and would provide housing and regeneration of a brownfield site . The site would feature two , three and four-bedroom homes , while the apartments would have either one , two or three bedrooms . Picture : Medway Development Company/BPTW Architecture They say the redevelopment will not harm the character of the area , heritage assets , amenity or cause issues for the road network and contribute a long way to the regeneration of Strood . The City of Rochester Society wrote to oppose the redevelopment , stating the designs are out of keeping with the area , and say the road network nor local education provision are sufficient to cope with the extra residents . Councillors will make a decision on the proposals at the planning committee meeting on December 18. |

The court previously heard that the offences of rape happened on the flat roof of a house in Oxford after Frampton performed at the Bullingdon music venue in Oxford . Prosecutor Heather Stangoe told the jury : " You decide this case on the evidence you have heard . In actual fact , the judge has directed you on that matter in his summing up . " Do n't be drawn into speculation - this is not CSI , it 's not an American drama - it 's a case about real people and the things that happen in real life . " You are the most qualified to determine where the truth lies in this case because factually , this is a very straight-forward case . " There are two very different accounts of what happened on that roof - there is no meeting in the middle . " What it comes down to is someone is lying . " The question I 'm going to ask you in this case is who benefits from lying ? What do the victims get out of lying ? " These two women have absolutely no reason to lie and that is the bare fact of it ... strip away all the gloss , all the glamour , what do they get out of it ? " The prosecutor said that two stereotypes were very much alive and well in this case - the stereotypes concerning women crying rape easily and women not knowing their own minds . Ms Stangoe said she hoped the jury would disregard those stereotypes . Ms Stangoe said the defendants laughing whilst on their way back to the tour bus demonstrated " mission accomplished . " Sheryl Nwosu , defending Blake-Walker who is from London , told the jury : " This is not a morality contest . Nobody is being judged for the things they decided to do sexually on September 8 . " Ms Nwosu added : " I invite you to conclude that you simply can not be sure on the evidence presented to you . The Crown simply have not discharged that burden and that there is a lot more than just doubt in this case - there are unfortunately lies . " Judge Ian Pringle said the prosecution argued that the alleged rapes were a case of " joint participation " whilst the defence said this was " nonsense .

Donald Trump arrives at an election night watch party at the Palm Beach Convention Center on November 6 , 2024 , in West Palm Beach , Florida . Evan Vucci/AP Los AngelesCNN -- Diplomatic and depressed as they have been in public , a small group of Democratic governors are deep into behind-the-scenes preparations and deliberations over how to balance the politics of pushing back on what they are expecting from President-elect Donald Trump 's next turn in the White House . Since long before the election , they 've been poring through Project 2025 -- it 's helpful , several Democratic governors told CNN , to have a blueprint in public . They 've been studying their own executive powers and state laws . They 've been collaborating on how to shame any extreme Trump actions in the court of public opinion , rather than debating the principles , as often happened when Democrats took on Trump last time . They 've been stockpiling the abortion medication mifepristone in secret warehouses and rehearsing their answers for if and when the incoming White House tries to nationalize their state police or National Guard units for use in deportation raids ; some are planning to flat out refuse , while others intend to argue that the officers are busy with other work keeping the people in their states safe . ( None have fully wrapped their heads around how it would work if units from other states are sent in and set themselves up for showdowns on the state borders . ) " Really , we have no idea what 's coming down the pike , " said Kansas Gov . Laura Kelly , the chair of the Democratic Governors Association . Some are already going deeper . Illinois Gov . JB Pritzker frustrated several of his counterparts by trying to get them to sign on to a group he started postelection to push back on Trump , but only Colorado Gov . Jared Polis signed on as a co-chair . Pritzker has his staff exploring ideas such as blocking GPS tracking on apps for women who may be traveling to the state to get abortions , so that there would not be records to potentially subpoena back home . " We all have apps on our phones that track where we go . If an attorney general or US attorney wanted to pull that data and determine whether someone drove from Indiana to an abortion clinic in Illinois , we can protect people and their privacy , " he told CNN . How the technology of that might work , though , is n't clear -- and that goes for a number of the more innovative ideas being workshopped . Many Democratic governors had been working on plans well before even President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race and Vice President Kamala Harris became their party nominee . Polls showing Trump 's strength , and their own scars from living through his first term , would have made them irresponsible if they had n't been , they say , especially now that his win and the expected compliance of the incoming Republican majorities in the House and Senate make them the only remaining significant nexuses of Democratic power left . Several have been running tabletop exercises behind closed doors for months , often with state attorneys general and other relevant officials involved . Officials in multiple governors ' offices told CNN the circles have been tight to keep the incoming White House from being able to prepare for their own responses , or for the proactive innovations they 're looking into . But they 're also wary of playing into caricatures of an outdated resistance , and not just because the 2024 election proved to many that Trump seems to eventually win the politics of most of the " us vs. them " fights . His first term was marked by not approving federal relief funds from Democratic states and by the vengeful withholding of resources , particularly around Covid-19 supplies , for governors who sparked his ire . Much like French President Emmanuel Macron 's wooing of Trump on the international stage with phone calls and the invitation to the Notre Dame reopening over the weekend -- aimed at flattering the incoming president into support on policy -- several Democratic governors and top aides say they will also take what they describe as an almost imperial court approach . They do n't want to be on his radar as antagonists . Figuring the president will again be picking favorites for hundreds of millions in federal aid and other priorities driven often by who he likes and who has n't been friendly enough , several have already started the phone calls to Mar-a-Lago to be on his good side , several people told about the calls told CNN . They 're coming to this weathered with the experience from the first Trump term . Four years ago , for example , Gov . Gretchen Whitmer famously became " the woman in Michigan " whom Trump urged then-Vice President Mike Pence to ignore when asking for Covid help , after she went on TV to criticize the administration for an insufficient response . Supplies were n't sent as the pandemic death toll ticked up . Michigan Gov . Gretchen Whitmer speaks at the 2024 Democratic National Convention at the United Center in Chicago on August 22 , 2024 . Rebecca Wright/CNN Speaking to CNN on the sidelines of a convening of Democratic governors over the weekend in Los Angeles , Whitmer said her goal now is " to be on the radar advocating for Michigan , trying to find common ground and trying to solve problems . " " People in Michigan , like a majority of Americans , voted for Donald Trump , and my oath is to Michigan , " Whitmer said . " Obviously , I 've got experience in this type of environment that will help inform how I continue to fight for Michigan . But I know Donald Trump cares about Michigan . And I 'm hoping that because of that , we 'll be able to find some common ground in some important ways . " Whitmer is in a different spot from some of her counterparts . She 's term limited out of running again in 2026 but still trying to think through how much deference to give Michigan voters , who went twice for Trump and once for Biden in between -- not to mention the 2028 presidential speculation already surrounding her . Aides in a number of governors ' offices told CNN that teams of lawyers are deep into researching motions and other responses to potential Trump actions . One Pritzker aide has been traveling the country meeting with counterparts to facilitate the information sharing and sense of preparedness . And Minnesota Gov . Tim Walz , Harris ' running mate , has followed up his postelection speech vowing to work to counter Trump by having " quietly tasked a team of top aides and leaders in state government to make plans for a second Trump term , " according to a person involved in the conversations , who added , " the group is discussing strategies to shore up access to reproductive health care and running tabletop exercises on federal government overreach . " Over in reliably blue New York , Gov . Kathy Hochul already had one phone call with Trump , telling CNN about appealing to him using peacocking terms such as federal money for a Penn Station " we 're proud of " and how she wants to work " with a president who is a New Yorker , has been a New Yorker , would understand how important it is for the success of our state . " " It would be irresponsible of me not to anticipate all scenarios of what could happen , especially listening to what the president said , what his advisers have said , what his appointees have said , what his candidates for various positions have said , and what Project 2025 says , " Hochul said . " I have to be keenly aware of all those potential challenges and have a strategy to respond to each if they actually occur . So it 's playing some defense right now , getting the game plan together and being willing to work . " But thinking about taking on a very aggressive and more experienced administration can be daunting , especially for those newer to the job . " I can spend a whole lot of time trying to figure out what policies the Trump administration is going to actually execute on , " said Delaware Gov. -elect Matt Meyer . " There 's a whole lot of speculation , and I can read about in the news . We do n't have a whole lot of time to plan on speculation and on various contingencies . " As the Democratic Governors Association gathered at the Beverly Hilton -- the hotel best known for hosting the Golden Globes and where Richard Nixon ended his first comeback attempt by declaring in 1962 , " You do n't have Nixon to kick around anymore ! " -- Walz swept through the halls , getting a hero 's welcome . Attendees urged him to run for a third term in 2026 and maybe look at a presidential run of his own in 2028 , with fans often grumbling as he went by about how they felt he 'd been misused on the national ticket . Former Maryland Gov . Martin O'Malley , another former chair of the group , showed up on the first night late at the hotel bar in the hopes of winning some more support in his bid to be the new Democratic National Committee chair , but few in the late-night crowd appeared to realize he was there . Minnesota Gov . Tim Walz at Howard University in Washington , DC , on November 6 , 2024 . Austin Steele/CNN As several of those expected to be in the 2028 presidential conversation side-eyed one another over how those ambitions appear to be playing out already , California Gov . Gavin Newsom appeared , fresh off a special session of the state Legislature he called after the election explicitly " to safeguard California values and fundamental rights in the face of an incoming Trump administration . " Measures on reproductive rights , climate change and immigration were at the top of the list and marked the first bills passed since the election . Pritzker , who arrived late , held court for a while in the hotel lobby . Kentucky Gov . Andy Beshear took a quieter , more hand-to-hand approach , meeting with power brokers but not putting himself out front among Democrats looking for attention among the opposition . Polis , Pennsylvania Gov . Josh Shapiro and Maryland Gov . Wes Moore did not attend the gathering , but that did n't stop operatives and lobbyists making the rounds from bringing them up in 2028 chatter anyway . Each has taken a different approach to Trump . What they all agree on : The Democratic Party desperately needs some better-known new leaders , and governors are the obvious place to look . They just are n't sure whether getting ahead politically will work better by taking on Trump or by finding ways to co-opt some of the issues that he rode to a return to the White House . But while some even in private stuck to stock answers about working with Trump when they can and opposing him when they have to , many share a sentiment Hochul voiced at the end of her interview with CNN : " There are lines that can not be crossed . " Outgoing Washington Gov . Jay Inslee -- one of only two current Democratic governors who served for all four years of Trump 's first term -- urged his newer colleagues to dig in , citing his own work " embedding Trump-proofing to the extent humanly , constitutionally possible . " With supportive Democratic majorities in his state Legislature , Inslee 's efforts have already included blocking immigration officials from going into elementary schools and preventing sharing of data across medical applications with an eye toward that information being used to prosecute women who may get abortions . Finishing up his third term , Inslee chose not to run again this year . But he said with the combination of what he 's done and the experience his successor , Bob Ferguson , has from suing the Trump administration as state attorney general , Washington state is ready to withstand much of what may be coming . " I think it 's a combination of two famous speeches : One , Churchill 's ' We shall fight them on the beaches , we shall fight them in the air , we shall fight them in the landing fields with growing confidence in our power , in the seas , in the air . We shall never surrender . ' That 's the No. 1 advice , " Inslee said . " No. 2 is Bluto Blutarsky in ' Animal House , ' which is : ' Over ? It 's not over till we say it 's over . Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor ? ' The combination of those two speeches , I would say , should demonstrate our resolve . " |

Newcastle United are increasingly concerned that their limited budget for the fast-approaching winter transfer window will result in them being unable to lure leading target Johan Bakayoko to St James ' Park from Eredivisie giants PSV Eindhoven next month , GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed . The Magpies were forced to sanction the departures of Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh in deals worth a combined total of ? 65million due to fears of breaching the Premier League 's profit and sustainability rules earlier this year , and head coach Eddie Howe will not be in a position to splash the cash on reinforcements . Despite the restricted levels of spending expected during the early stages of 2025 , sporting director Paul Mitchell is preparing to continue leading the recruitment drive after seeing Newcastle fall adrift of the European qualification spots thanks to failing to win any of their last four fixtures ahead of facing Leicester City this weekend . Newcastle are fearful of missing out on landing Bakayoko midway through the campaign , according to GMS sources , as their limited funds to spend on reinforcements during the January transfer window is in danger of resulting in them being priced out of being able to tempt PSV into sanctioning his departure . GMS sources have been informed that Newcastle have a genuine interest in sealing Bakayoko 's arrival after being pinpointed as a leading target over the last two months thanks to impressing in a PSV shirt but , in a significant twist , budgetary limitations could hamper Howe and Mitchell in their hopes of getting the deal over the line . The 21-year-old is at the forefront of his current employers ' plans and , with there being a determination to keep him on board instead of potentially derailing their pursuit of silverware , the Magpies are not expected to see his previous ? 40million price tag drop by a considerable amount in the coming weeks . Newcastle are worried that they will struggle to meet PSV 's demands for Bakayoko , GMS sources have learned , while they are on course to be thwarted in their attempts to bring in a right-sided attacker at the same time as being linked with a central defender and striker due to ongoing concerns over profit and sustainability rules . GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic : Johan Bakayoko has averaged 88 per cent pass accuracy per Champions League outing this season GMS sources have been told that PSV have little interest in allowing Bakayoko to embark on a fresh challenge while they are the Eredivisie table-toppers , and they have refused to rule out the possibility of increasing his valuation to make negotiations even more difficult for Newcastle and additional interested parties next month . The Dutch giants are not under pressure to do business during the January transfer window , thanks to their talisman having more than 18 months remaining on a contract which allows him to pocket close to ? 11,500-per-week at the Philips Stadion , complicating matters ahead of the Magpies potentially testing their resolve . It is increasingly unlikely that Newcastle will be able to stretch their budget in order to meet PSV 's demands , GMS sources understand , and there is an acknowledgment that there will not be substantial transfer activity at St James ' Park despite it being no secret that Bakayoko fits the bill due to Howe wanting to secure the signature of a right-sided forward . |

The Dutch giants are not under pressure to do business during the January transfer window , thanks to their talisman having more than 18 months remaining on a contract which allows him to pocket close to ? 11,500-per-week at the Philips Stadion , complicating matters ahead of the Magpies potentially testing their resolve . It is increasingly unlikely that Newcastle will be able to stretch their budget in order to meet PSV 's demands , GMS sources understand , and there is an acknowledgment that there will not be substantial transfer activity at St James ' Park despite it being no secret that Bakayoko fits the bill due to Howe wanting to secure the signature of a right-sided forward . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it describes an action where the subject 'club captain Spencer' 'pulled out of' an event 'facing La Rochelle', which is not a VP2[-ing] predicate with a causee object. There is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the sentence does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Bath look set to travel to Benetton on Sunday without a number of their star players as head of rugby Johann van Graan looks to rotate his squad to be able to keep fighting on three fronts this season . The Blue , Black and White are currently top of the Gallagher Premiership after seven of the 18 rounds and top in their Premiership Rugby Cup pool at the midway stage , but lost their opening Investec Champions Cup pool stage match to La Rochelle 20-24 on Friday night , meaning they likely require some points from the trip to Italy this weekend to stay in the hunt for the last-16 knock out rounds , with four of the six teams in each pool progressing . With European monster like Leinster and La Rochelle in Pool 2 with them , a high seeding was always going to be a big ask . But Bath look likely to the Stadio Comunale di Monigo without their first-choice half-back pairing of Finn Russell and Ben Spencer . Scotland star Russell has been away on holiday this week and club captain Spencer pulled out of facing La Rochelle late in the day with a tight hamstring . Speaking on Tuesday , van Graan said : " We will use our squad . We will make some changes to the team . As I said three weeks ago we have got 12 games in this block . The Champions Cup is obviously a big competition , we have got three big games coming up in the Premiership over the Christmas period as well . We are going to keep using our squad and we back our squad . " Providing an injury update on Spencer and England flanker Sam Underhill , who injured his ankle while scoring a try against Japan on international duty this Autumn , van Graan said : " Ben is doing some rehab here on his hamstring , we will make our decision on him later in the week . " Sam is in the building , Beno Obano is back on the training field . We have picked up one or two knocks and bruises from the weekend . Archie Griffin looks like he has injured his shoulder . We will do some more research on what that looks like over the next couple of weeks . " With Spencer and Russell unlikely to feature this weekend , van Graan will likely call upon Louis Schreuder and Orlando Bailey as his nine and ten combination , with changes in the front row probable as well . Wales international tighthead Archie Griffin 's injury is an untimely one with Will Stuart set to be rested this weekend having started all four of England 's Autumn Nations series game and Bath 's last two matches . Springbok powerhouse Thomas du Toit will likely switch from one to three in the front row , with England U20s star Billy Sela also sidelined with a shoulder injury . Centre Ollie Lawrence was rested last weekend , having racked up plenty of minutes with England this Autumn to earn a mandatory weekend off , but van Graan was purposefully vague about whether he will fly out with the team this weekend . He was far more clear on Alfie Barbeary 's situation after the powerful number eight suffered a second whiplash concussion injury last month . He reiterated , " We will take our time with Alfie . He was back in the building and has done some return-to-play bits this week . He has been on the training field for certain parts of training , but we will look after him . I am waiting until Rory Murray , our head of medical , gives me the green light to get him back to full training and then to playing .

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('it will price some supporters out of watching games'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the subject 'it' (an inanimate force/event) prevents the object 'some supporters' from 'watching games'. The verb 'price' fits into the category of verbs that exert force or pressure metaphorically. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe arrived at Manchester United as the knight in shining armour to long-suffering fans but the honeymoon period has not lasted long . His reign will so far be remembered for widespread cuts and measures which has affected staff and increased ticket prices for supporters . A deal for a 27.7 per cent stake in United , worth ? 1.25 billion , was announced on Christmas Eve last year and Ratcliffe wants to lift United from their current " mediocre " status and back to where they once were . He has warned his " difficult and unpopular decisions " are necessary . Here , Telegraph Sport details the savage cuts he has made during his first year in charge of football operations . Ed Woodward , executive vice-chairman at United until 2021 , oversaw the post-Sir Alex Ferguson decline , but he also treated staff like family . The redundancies since last summer have been brutal , as Ratcliffe has looked to cut the staffing levels from more than 1,100 by around 250 . Some of those who left the club had dedicated their working lives to United and many behind the scenes forged strong relationships with first-team players away from the training pitches . " It 's been hard and difficult to see , " said Jonny Evans on a pre-season tour in the United States . " The new owners feel that 's the direction that they want to go . But , you know , it 's not been easy for everyone at the same time . " United 's most recent financial figures showed exceptional items in their accounts , with ? 8.6 million spent on restructuring costs , including the redundancy scheme . Ratcliffe branded the situation " absurd " when Dan Ashworth was stuck on gardening leave at Newcastle , waiting for a deal to be struck for him to join United . The club made him their No 1 target , having assessed his work at the Football Association , where he turned the national age-group teams into major tournament winners and gave Gareth Southgate the players to reach the final of the European Championship twice . But Ashworth 's time at United lasted as long as his gardening leave . Last weekend he left the club , who had spent around ? 3million to acquire his services . He was described as a " 10-out-of-10 sporting director , one of the best around " before he arrived , but failed to gel with the football hierarchy . Given his track record , it has raised questions over whether Ashworth was the biggest problem at the club . It was probably no surprise that Christmas celebrations were cancelled for staff , given the redundancies . It would hardly be good optics to have an expensive knees-up after seeing so many colleagues leave . United have traditionally held a party for staff at various locations from on-site at Old Trafford to the cricket ground of the same name . But it has been scrapped altogether this year after being held in a suite at the stadium in 2023 . Other cuts include the staff 's ? 100 Christmas bonus being replaced by a ? 40 voucher for Marks & Spencer . Many were not expecting any form of bonus , so there was an element of surprise from some staff at the gesture of goodwill heading into the festive season . While the Glazer family was running the club , staff received their ? 100 bonus each year before Christmas . Sir Jim Ratcliffe has overseen sweeping job cuts with morale within the club said to be low Credit : PA/Mike Egerton It was their finest moment of the year - Erik ten Hag pulling off a stunning win against Manchester City against all the odds to save his job and bring a major trophy back to Old Trafford . But the backdrop to the showpiece were cuts to the perks for the Wembley final . United traditionally gave staff free tickets for the final plus travel and accommodation to Wembley , a pre-match lunch and after-party . On the eve of last season 's final , staff and directors learnt they would only receive one ticket and would have to pay ? 20 coach travel on the day of the game . Ratcliffe has been determined to clamp down on lavish spending at all levels and some staff no longer have access to chauffeured private cars . Some of the corporate credit cards of heads of department were also cancelled . One of the big decisions Ratcliffe made was to appoint a corporate restructuring firm to oversee his major cost-cutting drive at United . Interpath Advisory was tasked with examining all areas of United 's business with a view to driving greater efficiency and determining where savings can be made . The hope was to free up more money to invest in the first-team squad and ensure the club do not fall foul of Premier League rules governing spending . United would not be the club Ratcliffe invested in had it not been for Ferguson -- his 13 Premier League titles are the foundation that make the club the biggest in England . But it was announced that Ferguson would leave as club ambassador at the end of the season , a multi-million pound role that would see savings made on the balance sheet . Former United striker Eric Cantona called the decision " scandalous " , adding : " Sir Alex Ferguson should be able to do anything he wants at the club until the day he dies . Such a lack of respect . " Sir Alex Ferguson will no longer be employed as a club ambassador as Ineos cut costs Credit : Getty Images/Oli Scarff The anti-Ratcliffe chants were a stunning part of the supporter protest against hiked ticket prices ahead of the recent win against Everton . Fans sang about Ratcliffe being put on a bonfire , such was the resentment towards the co-owner once seen as a " local boy " with the supporters at heart . Match-day ticket prices have risen to ? 66 with no concessions , and there are fears it will price some supporters out of watching games . " I do n't want to end up in a position where the genuine local fans ca n't afford to come , but I do want to optimise the ticketing . We need to find a balance . And you ca n't be popular all the time either , " he told United We Stand fanzine . Ruben Amorim has described Dan Ashworth 's departure as Manchester United 's sporting director as a " bad situation " after seeing major upheaval behind the scenes in the first month at the club . The United head coach insists Ashworth 's departure will not change the running of the club , with Jason Wilcox , the technical director , now assuming the role as point of contact for potential deals in next month 's transfer window . But Ratcliffe 's first year in control of football operations has been turbulent , with cutbacks behind the scenes , Amorim 's appointment and the new structure of the club ripped apart within five months . " Of course , it 's a bad situation , " said Amorim , on the eve of his team 's Europa League match with Viktoria Plzen in Czech Republic . " We are talking about a human being , a professional , that supports us as a team but I think the most important thing is the vision is really clear and that do n't change if one person leaves . " Ruben Amorim was speaking on the eve of his side 's Europa League match with Viktoria Plzen Credit : Getty Images/Zohaib Alam Ashworth was axed at the weekend after five months at the club , having spent that amount of time on gardening leave when United looked to thrash out a deal for him . Amorim disputed the suggestion United are a more unstable club than when he joined on November 11 , adding : " I do n't think so . I felt since day one the support from everybody . One person leaving does n't change anything . " The first thing I want to say since the first day I felt great support from the ownership , from Omar Berrarda , chief executive , from them also , from Jason , and Dan was part of that . And I really , really , really received support from Dan also . " But this is football and sometimes this happens , happens with players , with coaches , I know it 's not the best situation but the important thing is we continue in our way . The path is really clear for everybody and I think this can happen in football . " Amorim has made changes to his team in each of his five games and more are expected as he finds the right combinations to fit his 3-4-3 system . Tyrell Malacia is set to start in Plzen , with the club also looking at long-term wing-backs for the left side of the team . Diego Leon , at Paraguayan club Cerro Porteno , is one they have scouted . " I 'm really focused to see my players and to understand my players , that is one of the problems of the club , " Amorim said . " We have to focus on what we have , we have to focus on the academy and to have a clear profile of the players . " So it 's a lot of details you have to manage . You can see at set-pieces , sometimes you look at our team , we are a small team compared to others , every detail counts and we have to be very clear in the profiles , arrange all the process and go to that phase of buying and selling players . " Meanwhile , a group of United fans have been arrested in relation to organised violence in Salford before the Europa League match with Twente in September . Officers from the specialist operations branch at Greater Manchester Police mounted a dawn raid on several addresses in the region and made 10 arrests . |

JAY-Z is facing fresh accusations that he lied and bribed judges for over a decade to get out of taking a paternity test for a young man who claims he is the rapper 's illegitimate son . Rymir Satterthwaite , 31 , has long believed Jay-Z is his biological father , who impregnated his mother when she was aged just 16 - a claim the rapper has always denied . 6 Rymir Satterthwaite believes he may be the biological son of Jay ZCredit : John Chapple for The U.S. Sun 6 Jay-Z denies being his father but has never taken a paternity testCredit : Getty/John Chapple for the U.S. Sun 6 Jay-Z has been accused of raping a teenage girl with old friend DiddyCredit : Getty Now , he has filed a new lawsuit against the New Jersey court system and a slew of judges alleging they " conspired " with the rapper for over a decade to have cases relating to his paternity , inheritance , and abuse of court processes dismissed . In the court papers filed in New Jersey by Rymir and his godmother Lillie Coley , the pair allege that Jay-Z lied in court that he had no property in New Jersey ; therefore , the court had no jurisdiction over him - even though they had property deeds and tax records with his name on . While Carter is not listed as a defendant in this new court filing , he is mentioned several times and has been battling Rymir , Lillie , and Rymir 's now-deceased mom , Wanda , since 2010 . The filing states that six separate judges " conspired with party Carter who continued to misrepresent ... that he did not have property in New Jersey . " Rymir and Lillie have filed several lawsuits against Carter since Rymir 's mom first filed a paternity test request back in 2010 , but they claim the rapper abused the court system , causing their cases to be dismissed or denied . After complaining about the " injustices " he faced throughout his case to local authorities in Camden County , NJ , in 2017 , Rymir alleges in the lawsuit that his car was " shot at by unknown individuals . " Both Rymir and Lillie state that they also had " unknown individuals follow them within the community " and drive onto their lawn " at 4am in the morning , " activities which they allege were orchestrated by Carter 's team , according to the court filing . In 2022 , they were ordered to pay just under $15,000 in legal fees to Jay-Z , which resulted in what they describe in the latest court filing as " illegal liens " to be placed on their New Jersey home . They were unaware of the the liens on the property until Lillie tried to sell her home in December 2023 , and the sale was stopped . They allege in the court papers they have lost over $100,000 due to the case - and are still having money taken from them by Carter . The court papers state that between May and August of this year , the title company of their home " began to pay illegal lien payments to attorneys on behalf of their client Shawn Carter ... when it was known these liens were derived from fraud on multiple levels . " They claim the courts " disregarded " their evidence , which demonstrated that Carter was " committing fraud upon the court and yet opted to participate in the fraud with the defendants and deprived Plaintiffs ' property by sanctioning them and violating Plaintiffs ' constitutional rights . " The pair are suing the court system and the judges and are seeking damages for emotional distress , arguing that they have lost more than $100,000 in " wholly unnecessary " litigation . They claim the defendants " blocked " their " constitutional rights " and " prevented a young man who was seeking closure of his paternity from being able to receive that peace of mind , " the court filing reads . They claimed that the " fraudulent orders must be voided " since Carter and his lawyer " continue to use them to obtain money when these orders have no legal authority . " They have asked for damages and for the case to be tried by a jury . In a statement to The U.S. Sun , Rymir said he simply wants " the judges in this case to be held accountable for actions over the years " . Back in an interview in 2018 , he said : " I do n't want money or anything like that from Jay-Z . " I just want him to finally tell the truth to the world . " He added : " If you are telling the truth then why is your first answer whenever you 're asked to take a paternity test ' no ' ? " Also , I want a fair due process in court regardless of who my father is or how rich he is . " Rymir 's mother said she had unprotected sex with Jay-Z - then known as " Rock " - when she was aged 16 , in Brooklyn , NY , after he picked her up in Philadelphia , PA , in 1992 . " I do n't want money or anything like that from Jay-Z ... I just want him to finally tell the truth to the world . Rymir Satterthwaite Wanda 's on-off boyfriend , Robert Graves , was originally listed on the birth certificate until he was legally removed in 2011 after a DNA test proved he was not the father . The U.S. Sun has reached out to representatives for Carter and the office of the New Jersey judicial system for comment . The rapper showed a united front following the rape allegations turning up to a Hollywood movie premiere with his wife , Beyonce , their daughter Blue Ivy and mother-in-law Tina Knowles . " My lawyer received a blackmail attempt , called a demand letter , from a " lawyer " ... What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle . No sir , it had the opposite effect ! It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion . So no , I will not give you ONE RED PENNY ! ! These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint , not a civil one ! ! Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away , would you not agree ? These alleged victims would deserve real justice if that were the case . This lawyer , who I have done a bit of research on , seems to have a pattern of these type of theatrics ! I have no idea how you have come to be such a deplorable human Mr. X , but I promise you I have seen your kind many times over . I 'm more than prepared to deal with your type . You claim to be a marine ? ! Marines are known for their valor , you have neither honor nor dignity . My only heartbreak is for my family . My wife and I will have to sit our children down , one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims , and explain the cruelty and greed of people . I mourn yet another loss of innocence . Children should not have to endure such at their young age . It is unfair to have to try to understand inexplicable degrees of malice meant to destroy families and human spirit . My heart and support goes out to true victims in the world , who have to watch how their life story is dressed in costume for profitability by this ambulance chaser in a cheap suit . You have made a terrible error in judgement thinking that all " celebrities " are the same . I 'm not from your world . I 'm a young man who made it out of the project of Brooklyn . We do n't play these types of games . We have very strict codes and honor . We protect children , you seem to exploit people for personal gain . Only your network of conspiracy theorists , fake physics , will believe the idiotic claims you have levied against me that , if not for the seriousness surrounding harm to kids , would be laughable . I look forward to showing you just how different I am . " He was pictured at the premiere of Disney 's " Mufasa : The Lion King " - in which Blue Ivy , 12 , voices the character of Kiara in Los Angeles on Monday , a day after the lawsuit was filed . In the suit , an unidentified Jane Doe alleges she was given a drink that made her feel " woozy " before she was pinned down by Carter and raped as Diddy looked on . He then allegedly stepped back so Diddy could take a turn raping the girl . |

Whitney Port has admitted she 's feeling ' extremely disappointed ' after her surrogate decided to pull out , and revealed she thinks Donald Trump may have something to with it . The 39-year-old TV star , who has been very open about her fertility struggles , shared an update on the latest episode of her podcast WITH WHIT and mentioned the recent US Presidential election . Referring to her husband Tim Rosenman , Whitney told her listeners : ' It 's rare that the two of us are really alone and get the chance to talk about deep stuff , besides when we 're on the podcast . ' So we started talking about what 's going on with our surrogacy , which I have been ignoring for the past couple weeks . ' So , basically we thought we had found an amazing surrogate but it turns out that she did n't want to stop taking a hair loss medication that she was on , which I totally understand . ' Whitney then said : ' Granted , I feel like there 's probably a different reason , which is totally okay . ' My doctor actually said after Trump won there were a ton of surrogates that ended up dropping out , or decided that they did n't want to do it just because of the uncertainty in the landscape of reproductive rights for women . ' During the final stages of his campaign , Trump said he thought states should determine their own abortion policies . Whitney Port confirmed in the latest episode of her podcast WITH WHIT that her surrogate had pulled out recently Whitney claimed that her doctor told her that after Donald Trump won the US election , ' a ton of surrogates ' have dropped out But his position on the issue has varied , as back in March during an interview he signaled support for a nationwide ban on abortions after 15 weeks ' gestation , and as president , he supported a House bill that would have banned abortion nationwide after 20 weeks . During his 2016 campaign , Trump pledged to appoint Supreme Court justices who could help overturn Roe v. Wade . As president , he accomplished that goal . Whitney continued talking about her surrogate and said : ' So maybe she got spooked , who knows . Like obviously nothing personal , this is such a big thing , I completely understand . ' I just was extremely disappointed . We had not gone down a far , far road with her but things were looking good . ' The Hills star then revealed : ' So , now we 're just in this space of needing to find another surrogate and that just feels really daunting for me . ' And I told Timmy today that I needed him to spearhead this situation , that I felt like there was something in me that was procrastinating this . ' And then part of me is like , " wait , should I let him do this ? Should I just conquer this so I can say I did this ? But then I 'm like , " No Whitney you do n't have to do everything " and not that I do . ' But this is an extremely sensitive situation for me and he has better follow through when it comes to this so just let him spearhead this , ' she added . Whitney said she was feeling ' extremely disappointed ' after their surrogate made the decision to drop out Whitney , who has suffered three miscarriages , is pictured here with her seven-year-old son Sonny When Whitney posted this clip from her podcast on TikTok , her fans and followers were quick to comment on the video . One person said : ' That is SO heartbreaking to hear , ' while a second wrote : ' Yep a lot of women just do n't feel safe to be pregnant anymore . ' A third said : ' i ca n't imagine what a tough process this is . I 'm glad your taking care of you , that takes a lot of strength to say I need to step back . ' Other TikTok users were quick to hit back at Whitney 's comment about Trump , as one said : ' Trump is n't going to do anything to anyone 's rights lol unreal . ' |

Emerging technology could help millions of people find work -- and lead to greater recognition of the vital work performed by professionals in the field Jane Hamilton Thursday December 12 2024 , 12.01am , The Times AI could make delivering careers advice quicker and more cost-effective GETTY Jane Hamilton Thursday December 12 2024 , 12.01am , The Times The headlines around AI may focus on job loss fears , but there 's one sector where the emerging technology could help millions of people find meaningful new work . At present the UK 's careers advice industry is woefully underfunded . Despite the sector being pivotal in helping both young people and the unemployed discover fulfilling career paths , the latest Gatsby Foundation report shows investment in career development has plunged from ? 159 for school pupils in 2009 to just ? 68 today . For adults looking , the drop is almost a third , from ? 35 to ? 26 . However , receiving solid careers advice is one of the best predictors of future job success . The Investing in Careers report suggests for every ? 1 spent , it returns an average of ? 2.50 in schools and ? 3.20 for unemployed adults . Utilising emerging AI-backed careers support could make it quicker and more cost-effective to deliver advice including personalised pathways , CV writing and interview preparation to career exploration , online careers advice and support with transferrable skills . Dr Deirdre Hughes OBE is the author of new report , Careers 2035 , and an early champion of the technology , believing AI holds " a huge spectrum of possibilities " . " Access to equitable AI-enhanced resources can help ensure that all individuals can benefit from the transformative potential of these technologies . The future of career guidance must not only embrace innovation but champion the breaking down of barriers , ensuring that no one is left behind in the new era of opportunity , " she said . With LinkedIn predicting that the skills needed for jobs globally will change at least 65 per cent by 2030 , careers AI needs to be introduced swiftly if the UK is to remain internationally competitive . As chief executive of Morrisby , the UK 's best-known careers platforms , Chris Glennie is pushing for better recognition of the vital work performed by career development professionals . Research by the Careers Development Institute suggests 21 per cent of advisers plan to leave the profession within two years . At present the average school careers adviser salary is estimated to be ? 28,000 , below both minimum pay for new teaches and jobcentre coaches , despite careers staff requiring degree-equivalent 6 and 7 qualifications . " While career development professionals feel proud of their work , they do n't always feel it is valued by government , the public and some employers , " Glennie said . However , Glennie is bullish about the introduction of AI . " Careers advisers can play key roles including sitting on advisory boards to steer AI developments , auditing content produced by AI tools , or working with software developers to generate the most impactful workflows , " he added . The rollout could also dramatically improve careers provision in state schools . Despite all secondary schoolsand colleges having a duty to provide careers guidance to pupils fromyears 7 to 13 , data from the Careers and Enterprise Company estimates 11 per cent of students have not had an interview with a qualified careers adviser by the end of year 11 . Introducing tailored AI support may ease the burden on human advisers and also tempt more people into the sector . As founder of the Skills Builder Partnership , which brings together education institutions to train young people for future skills , Tom Ravenscroft is clear that AI can upskill the upskilling careers sector too . " Given how quickly careers routes and technical courses are changing , this is vital for young people and careers advisers to have the flexibility to thrive , " he said . Keen to make a career out of advising others ? Here Chris Glennie , the chief executive of Morrisby , shares his expert advice . " It 's a supportive sector full of passionate colleagues , who want to help , " he said . Gain experience working with young people or adults , from any walk of life . It 's important that you enjoy and feel comfortable talking with people . You could get some experience in a school , at a youth centre , at a sports club or as a mentor . Get qualified . Some employers seek untrained advisers and will pay for you to take a careers qualification , such as the QCD . Qualified advisers should be paid a higher salary . Roles are available in schools , colleges , universities , careers organisations , local government , the Careers and Enterprise Company and online careers resource centres . Consider your area of interest . You may wish to specialise in an particular area , such as working with young people , adults , those with specific learning difficulties or disabilities , career changers or experienced hires or immigrants . Could you be self-employed ? Many career development professionals ( CDPs ) are self-employed , which may widen where you can work . Join a professional body . The Career Development Institute and Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services offer excellent networking and training opportunities to keep your knowledge and skills up to date . Chris Webb says that career development professionals need to be " curious , critical , creative and caring " Chris Webb is a career development professional from Barnsley , South Yorkshire . The 36-year-old worked as an English , mathematics and employability tutor for 16 to 19-year-olds before training as a specialist . " Our role as CDPs is to meet people where they are and support the whole person , not simply to ' help someone find a job ' , " he said . " Empathy , patience and high-level communication skills are all vital . One of my colleagues in the sector , Dr Gill Frigerio , talks about the need for CDPs to be ' curious , critical , creative and caring ' , and these four qualities are more crucial when it comes to assessing how , when and why we might choose to use GenAI generative AI tools alongside a client . " So many people have misconceptions about what career development work actually involves and the benefits it can bring to individuals , the economy and society as a whole .

Emerging technology could help millions of people find work -- and lead to greater recognition of the vital work performed by professionals in the field Jane Hamilton Thursday December 12 2024 , 12.01am , The Times AI could make delivering careers advice quicker and more cost-effective GETTY Jane Hamilton Thursday December 12 2024 , 12.01am , The Times The headlines around AI may focus on job loss fears , but there 's one sector where the emerging technology could help millions of people find meaningful new work . At present the UK 's careers advice industry is woefully underfunded . Despite the sector being pivotal in helping both young people and the unemployed discover fulfilling career paths , the latest Gatsby Foundation report shows investment in career development has plunged from ? 159 for school pupils in 2009 to just ? 68 today . For adults looking , the drop is almost a third , from ? 35 to ? 26 . However , receiving solid careers advice is one of the best predictors of future job success . The Investing in Careers report suggests for every ? 1 spent , it returns an average of ? 2.50 in schools and ? 3.20 for unemployed adults . Utilising emerging AI-backed careers support could make it quicker and more cost-effective to deliver advice including personalised pathways , CV writing and interview preparation to career exploration , online careers advice and support with transferrable skills . Dr Deirdre Hughes OBE is the author of new report , Careers 2035 , and an early champion of the technology , believing AI holds " a huge spectrum of possibilities " . " Access to equitable AI-enhanced resources can help ensure that all individuals can benefit from the transformative potential of these technologies . The future of career guidance must not only embrace innovation but champion the breaking down of barriers , ensuring that no one is left behind in the new era of opportunity , " she said . With LinkedIn predicting that the skills needed for jobs globally will change at least 65 per cent by 2030 , careers AI needs to be introduced swiftly if the UK is to remain internationally competitive . As chief executive of Morrisby , the UK 's best-known careers platforms , Chris Glennie is pushing for better recognition of the vital work performed by career development professionals . Research by the Careers Development Institute suggests 21 per cent of advisers plan to leave the profession within two years . At present the average school careers adviser salary is estimated to be ? 28,000 , below both minimum pay for new teaches and jobcentre coaches , despite careers staff requiring degree-equivalent 6 and 7 qualifications . " While career development professionals feel proud of their work , they do n't always feel it is valued by government , the public and some employers , " Glennie said . However , Glennie is bullish about the introduction of AI . " Careers advisers can play key roles including sitting on advisory boards to steer AI developments , auditing content produced by AI tools , or working with software developers to generate the most impactful workflows , " he added . The rollout could also dramatically improve careers provision in state schools . Despite all secondary schoolsand colleges having a duty to provide careers guidance to pupils fromyears 7 to 13 , data from the Careers and Enterprise Company estimates 11 per cent of students have not had an interview with a qualified careers adviser by the end of year 11 . Introducing tailored AI support may ease the burden on human advisers and also tempt more people into the sector . As founder of the Skills Builder Partnership , which brings together education institutions to train young people for future skills , Tom Ravenscroft is clear that AI can upskill the upskilling careers sector too . " Given how quickly careers routes and technical courses are changing , this is vital for young people and careers advisers to have the flexibility to thrive , " he said . Keen to make a career out of advising others ? Here Chris Glennie , the chief executive of Morrisby , shares his expert advice . " It 's a supportive sector full of passionate colleagues , who want to help , " he said . Gain experience working with young people or adults , from any walk of life . It 's important that you enjoy and feel comfortable talking with people . You could get some experience in a school , at a youth centre , at a sports club or as a mentor . Get qualified . Some employers seek untrained advisers and will pay for you to take a careers qualification , such as the QCD . Qualified advisers should be paid a higher salary . Roles are available in schools , colleges , universities , careers organisations , local government , the Careers and Enterprise Company and online careers resource centres . Consider your area of interest . You may wish to specialise in an particular area , such as working with young people , adults , those with specific learning difficulties or disabilities , career changers or experienced hires or immigrants . Could you be self-employed ? Many career development professionals ( CDPs ) are self-employed , which may widen where you can work . Join a professional body . The Career Development Institute and Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services offer excellent networking and training opportunities to keep your knowledge and skills up to date . Chris Webb says that career development professionals need to be " curious , critical , creative and caring " Chris Webb is a career development professional from Barnsley , South Yorkshire . The 36-year-old worked as an English , mathematics and employability tutor for 16 to 19-year-olds before training as a specialist . " Our role as CDPs is to meet people where they are and support the whole person , not simply to ' help someone find a job ' , " he said . " Empathy , patience and high-level communication skills are all vital . One of my colleagues in the sector , Dr Gill Frigerio , talks about the need for CDPs to be ' curious , critical , creative and caring ' , and these four qualities are more crucial when it comes to assessing how , when and why we might choose to use GenAI generative AI tools alongside a client . " So many people have misconceptions about what career development work actually involves and the benefits it can bring to individuals , the economy and society as a whole . Our sector supports people at key transition points throughout their lives , not just those looking for work .

Sam Warburton has ruled himself out of taking on a director of rugby job with Wales , as he admitted they needed someone like Warren Gatland in the role . Gatland is currently facing unprecedented pressure as Wales head coach , after a calendar year that saw Wales lose all 11 Test matches . Throw in the World Cup quarter-final defeat to Argentina and it 's Wales ' longest-ever losing run at Test level . The Welsh Rugby Union are currently undertaking a review of the autumn campaign , which will be presented to the WRU board at a meeting next Tuesday . Both Gatland 's fate , as well as that of current executive director of rugby Nigel Walker , are likely to be determined at the end of the review . Both Gatland and WRU chair Richard Collier-Keywood have expressed an openness to Gatland moving upstairs - something that was previously mooted when he returned to the job in 2022 to replace Wayne Pivac . Warburton 's name has also been thrown into the ring , with former England coach Sir Clive Woodward suggesting the former Wales openside should head up their rugby operation in his Daily Mail column . Warburton , who finished playing in 2018 and had a brief stint coaching the breakdown under Pivac , is adamant he does n't want to take on that job - although he believes someone like Gatland would be perfect . " I 'm heavily involved in Cardiff rugby now , " he told Canterbury . " Helping them with rugby matters and I love it . " If I was being honest , I have n't earned that right to do that role , I 'm too inexperienced . That 's why I 've taken on the Cardiff role because I do care about the game of rugby and it 's something that excites me . " Someone like Warren , if he was n't a coach , I still think he 'd be very useful because he understands the landscape of Welsh rugby . Something that might have been missing from a personality trait and I heard this from someone else and he said to make an omelette you 've got to crack some eggs . I do n't think Warren is afraid to crack a few eggs to do the best thing for Welsh rugby . " I 've heard what Warren 's ideas are on what needs to happen . He ca n't make those calls as a head coach , he can advise but he ca n't make that call but those calls I 've heard him say , I 've agreed with . He knows the game and the landscape very well . " I 'm flattered by what Clive said and I respect him a lot but there 's people out there more qualified with more experience that would be able to deliver in that role better than myself . I 've got a lot on my plate right now so I do n't think I 'd be able to juggle the role with what I 've got going on either . " While Warburton believes Gatland would have more influence in a higher position within in the Union , he does n't necessarily believe he should move aside from his coaching job just yet - adding that it would " be very difficult to find a permanent coach at this time of year " , paving the way for an interim coach as the " least disruptive option " . However , he believes that 's only a decision if " Warren chose to walk away " . He did add he had sympathy for the Wales coach , given the lack of top quality players compared to his first stint in charge . " I feel sorry for Warren Gatland , " he added . " I did a Q&A with him and when things were going well someone asked him ' What makes a good coach ? ' . He did n't brag about himself . He did n't brag about his coaching staff . He answered back by saying ' good players are helpful to be a good coach . " He 's probably looking externally and thinking , I do n't have the same calibre of players that the top five nations have right now . He 's not going to come out and say that we have some great players but right now we 're not where we need to be because that 's throwing players under the bus and that 's how you lose your team . " The hard thing a coach has to do is win over your team . You have to get your team to run through brick walls . Warren ca n't be that honest in the press because he 's going to lose his team . Listening to interviews , he 's taking all the flack but he 's also thinking that he does n't have the quality of those top teams . " I 've got some quality but I do n't have enough of it and that 's where I feel sorry for him . He 's got a hard job there . Any new coach is going to have a hard job because it 's a rebuild . When people are getting impatient about a rebuild , this wo n't be for one or two years . " Welsh fans need to accept that if we win a Six Nations in the next three years , we have massively overachieved well ahead of schedule looking at the talent pool that we currently have . That 's why I 'm not throwing daggers at coaches because sometimes you 've got to call a spade a spade and with the tools we have , we have n't got enough good tools compared to other nations .

Child Benefit claimants receive National Insurance credits that count toward their eligibility for the State Pension . HMRC says this can help people who are not in paid employment and do not receive NI credits through their employer or other routes such as Universal Credit . A person living in a household subject to the High Income Child Benefit Charge will still receive NI credits if they claim Child Benefit but opt out of receiving payments . Claiming Child Benefit also makes sure the child automatically gets a National Insurance number when they turn 16. |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('opt out of receiving payments'). It involves a prevention interpretation, where the action of opting out prevents the subject from receiving payments. The verb 'opt' can be considered as a means to achieve a goal, fitting into the classification of verbs that appear in the V1 slot. The NP object 'they' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'receiving payments'.

Perhaps the only surprise was that Mourinho took so long to reach Turkey , especially given his antics over the years . It has n't taken him long to start controversy in the country . After beating Trabzonspor in November , Mourinho went on a lengthy rant about corruption , also claiming that " nobody wants to watch the Turkish league abroad " . A solid way to make an impression indeed . His spell with AS Roma may have seen the club win the Conference League in 2022 , but aside from that , it was n't the most productive of spells . One of Mourinho 's most laughable moments came outside his professional capacity . In 2014 , he was in charge of the Rest of the World side against England at Soccer Aid . After just nine minutes , the then-Chelsea boss delivered one of the best moments in the history of the event by wiping out singer Olly Murs with a tackle from the sidelines . It was all taken in good humour , with the manager drawing massive cheers from the crowd as he made his way back to the dugout with a huge smile . Arriving in England as a self-proclaimed " Special One " , Mourinho had plenty to prove . With a Premier League title just a few wins away , the manager displayed his shrewd side when the Blues faced Bayern Munich in the Champions League . He had received a two-match ban from the previous round , which meant he was barred from appearing on the touchline at Stamford Bridge against the German giants . Not one to be told what to do , it was later revealed that Mourinho had snuck into the changing rooms in a washing basket to deliver pre-match and half-time team talks . His assistant was wearing a hat and regularly touching his ear , indicating a hidden earpiece , obviously communicating with his boss , who was taking refuge in a local leisure centre ( or so we thought ) : " I went there and nobody saw me . The problem was to leave after . And Stewart Bannister the kit man put me in the basket . It was a little bit open so I could breathe . " But when he is taking it outside the dressing room , the UEFA guys were following and desperate to find me so he closed the box and I could n't breathe ! When he opened the box I was dying ! I am serious ! I was claustrophobic , I promise ! It 's true ! " Mourinho 's spell at Porto made him one of the most sought-after bosses in Europe . The Portuguese coach led the club to a treble during his first full season , before leading them to another league title and the Champions League crown in 2003/04 . During the second leg of their Champions League clash with Manchester United that year , Porto were on the verge of going out on away goals . Costinha stepped up to score in the 89th minute to seal their passage to the last eight . Mourinho sprinted down the touchline to celebrate with his players , giving fans packed into Old Trafford a preview of what was to come a few months later . Mourinho once wore a wire during his time with Roma . In 2023 , his club drew 1-1 with Monza , and during his post-match press conference , the Portuguese boss claimed he wore it to protect himself from referees . " I 'm not stupid , you know , " said Mourinho . " Today , I went to the game with a microphone . I recorded everything . From the moment I left the locker room to the moment I returned . I protected myself . " It was a sign that Mourinho had moved into new territory as his career began to fizzle out . Towards the end of his spell in charge of Man Utd , the club conceded a late goal against Chelsea , having led late on . Mourinho was naturally disappointed in the dugout , but when Chelsea assistant coach Marco Ianni ran down the touchline punching the air , the United boss ' demeanour changed . He ended up chasing the Italian down the dugout before being stopped by stewards , and it was later shown that Ianni had run back and screamed in Mourinho 's direction , sparking the United boss into a frenzy . After United were defeated 3-0 by Tottenham Hotspur in August 2018 , Mourinho delivered one of his most famous press conference moments . When pressed on the fact many supporters left before the end , the manager said : " Do you know what the result was ? Three-nil . Do you know what this means ( holding up three fingers ) ? " Three-nil , but it also means three Premier Leagues and I won more alone than the other 19 managers together . Three for me and two for them . " He then left the media centre repeating " respect , respect , respect " , and it was evident that his time at United was drawing to a close . It did n't take long for Mourinho to cause controversy in Turkey . When Fenerbah ? e had a goal ruled out for offside against league rivals Antalyaspor in September 2024 , Mourinho placed his laptop in front of the broadcaster 's ground camera with a still image of the decision in what was an obvious sign of protest . Naturally , he was given a yellow card as his Machiavellianways continued in Istanbul . One of Mourinho 's craziest moments came during his spell with Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013 . During a Spanish Super Cup tie in the 2011/12 campaign , Mourinho poked Barcelona assistant Tito Vilanova in the eye as the two sides created a scuffle following a poor tackle by Marcelo on Cesc Fabregas . Mourinho was subsequently given a ban for his actions and later apologised , saying : " I was the one in the wrong , I should n't have done what I did . Of course not , that negative image stays forever . Tito had nothing to do with it . I apologise to him . " Out of everything Mourinho has gotten up to during his managerial career , this is perhaps the craziest . #JH573319 Member Since2024-12-12 Number of Posts11 How many Time You lost This Droid risk ... in case you wana get a reasonable income via pc and when you have a dependable internet connection then you in reality ought with a view to recognize how you 're making your earnings through pc. |

In April last year , 10-year-old Sara Sharif 's father , Urfan Sharif , informed her headteacher that he was taking his daughter out of school to be home-educated . Just four months later , police found Sara 's battered body in a bunk bed at the family 's home in Woking , Surrey . This week , Sharif and Sara 's stepmother , Beinash Batool , were found guilty of Sara 's murder in a harrowing trial that has raised serious questions over child protection services in the UK . The case will now be the focus of a local safeguarding review , which will examine missed opportunities to prevent Sara 's death -- including the fact her concerned teachers were unable to check on her after she was withdrawn from school . Sara 's teachers reported seeing her with bruises on three occasions . One had asked her about the bruises in March 2023 and " Sara gave multiple conflicting stories " , the prosecution said .

RIVER ACTION is to intervene in a legal challenge brought by the National Farmers Union ( NFU ) against tighter waste guidelines for manure , the charity announced yesterday . The NFU is taking Herefordshire County Council to court over its local plan for minerals and waste . The new rules require stricter management of manure from livestock and for agricultural developments to be " nutrient-neutral " to avoid pollution of the soil . According to River Action 's legal representative Leigh Day , the NFU argues that manure from intensive poultry units and other agricultural developments should not be classed as waste under the council 's plans . But River Action says that such material causes environmental harm , arguing that livestock manure has resulted in damaging algal blooms appearing in the River Wye . It should not be assumed that manure stored and sold to a third party will be used in an environmentally safe way , the charity also maintains , so it wants controls in place to make sure that waste producers dispose of waste lawfully . River Action founder Charles Watson said : " It is beyond preposterous that the tens of thousands of tons of animal excrement that spews each year out of Herefordshire 's intensive poultry factory farms is anything other than waste -- and environmentally harmful waste at that . " We feel that for the NFU to try and wriggle out of behaving responsibly and agreeing to co-operate with the county council 's plans to dispose of this waste in a sustainable manner is yet another lamentable example of the big agri lobby showing scarce regard to protecting the environment .

Instead, it uses the phrase 'take the sting out of hitting the slopes', where 'hitting the slopes' is a gerund phrase but does not involve a causee or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

A poll of 2,000 people who have n't hit the slopes before found working out what ski gear is essential and which pass to buy are most likely to confuse non-skiers . A third admitted they could n't distinguish between green , red , blue or black slopes , while some feared slowing down their more experienced friends on the piste . While over one in five have shied away from booking a ski holiday due to worries about exchange rates or unexpected costs eating into their budget . The study was commissioned by international money app Wise has released its own guide of ski destinations for every budget and enlisted the help of iconic Olympian Eddie the Eagle on top tips for skiing newbies . Eddie became the first Brit to represent Team GB in Olympic ski jumping at the 1988 Winter Olympics . He said : " Skiing trips can appear quite daunting . There 's a lot of moving parts and different bits to plan . But when you 're out on the slopes with your friends and family , there 's nothing quite like it . " Some of the best times of my life involve me skiing , and I 'd love to think that others could have the same opportunities to make unforgettable memories . " One in four are n't sure what time of year is best for the perfect powder , with even fewer confessing they 're unfamiliar with the basic rules of mountain safety , and skiing etiquette . Olympian Eddie the Eagle offers advice to non-skiers on their first steps to booking a skiing holiday abroad ( Image : PinPep ) Newbie skiers estimate it would cost as much as ? 950 per person to head on a ski trip - with 31 per cent not fully sure on how to budget for such a trip . Roisin Levine , head of UK & Europe partnerships at Wise , said : " There 's a preconception that skiing is an expensive trip , which it can be , but there 's certainly ways of keeping costs down to make sure you do n't miss out on the fun . " When booking your lift passes , ski hire or accommodation - make sure to use a card or service which gives you the exchange rate you see on Google , charging only a clear , transparent fee , so that you can keep your cash for the apr ? s ski bar . " She added : " Going on a new kind of holiday can be daunting , but is n't that the point of travel ? Broadening your horizons , trying new experiences -- skiing is brilliant for ticking off loads of these boxes , even if it might seem scary at first . " And it 's understandable that people have concerns about how much it might cost . " The skiing destinations people would most like to visit are the Alps , via France , Switzerland , Austria or Italy ( 31 per cent ) . Popular global destinations are the Rocky Mountains , accessed in the USA or Canada , followed by the natural beauty of the Pyrenees . Eddie the Eagle added : " With the amount of times I 've been skiing , it does n't bear thinking about how much money I 've lost in hidden fees from bad exchange rates . That money could have been put towards something more useful , like a new pair of skis or a pass . " If you 're going with your mates it 's a good idea to pool your food and drink money into a kitty - this way , you can save time at the bar by paying in one go and no one gets the brunt of the bill . And remember - always pay in the currency of the place you 're in and use a provider that does n't rip you off with hidden fees . " Set aside some money as far in advance as possible and where you can , pay for things like flights , accommodation , and ski lessons , passes and hire in manageable chunks or alternatively look at package deals as they can often be cheaper . Borrow or buy second-hand . Alternatively , you can also hire ski gear - which is perfect if you 're particularly unsure on if you 're going to love it or not . If you can get up to a local snow-zone or dry slope prior to your holiday , it 'll take the sting out of hitting the slopes for the first time . Get some private or group lessons when you 're there - no amount of natural athleticism can prepare you for skiing - trust me , you need help . Many airlines and accommodation booking websites will rip you off through ' Dynamic Currency Conversion . ' And when paying for them in another currency , some websites convert the cost for you and add on a markup - always pay in the local currency and check exchange rates on Google. Cut costs by packing your own sandwiches , snacks and plenty of water . Save money abroad by using a card that ensures you get a good exchange rate . Take your time to get the right pair of boots in the ski shop because it will make all the difference to your experience - you may think the boots are too tight , they 're usually not . Aim for the beginning or end of the season when slopes are quieter - you 'll save money and enjoy a more relaxed skiing experience . Falling down is part of learning to ski -- we 've all been there ( including the pros , believe me ! ) Story Saved You can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right . |

However , Jesus has not scored a Premier League goal since January , while Havertz drew a blank in the 1-1 draw with Fulham last weekend , meaning that he only has one goal to show from his last seven appearances in the top flight . Havertz did have a goal credited to him in the 3-0 Champions League win over Monaco on Wednesday , but Bukayo Saka fashioned the opportunity , and Watts still feels that Arsenal are still short of a game-changing frontman who can conjure up a goal out of nothing . " The whole striker debate at Arsenal will always rear its head after a game like Fulham , " Watts told Sports Mole . " The real tight games when it 's not quite happening for you , but you are basically camped around the opposition box , and maybe you need someone to score a goal out of nothing . Arsenal do n't really have that player , and it 's been an issue . " You go back to the big games last season . The Bayern Munich defeat in the Champions League , when it was really , really tight . Two-one in the first game , you go over to Munich , it was tight , 0-0 for a long time . Can someone score a goal out of nothing and send yourselves through ? Arsenal do n't really have that type of player , whether it be a striker or a kind of X-factor attacker . " Watts does not buy into the notion that Arsenal need to focus primarily on signing a new centre-forward , rather any offensive player who is capable of producing the big moments when the going gets tough , such as former Crystal Palace sensation Michael Olise . The 23-year-old has come up with nine goals and seven assists in 21 games for Bayern since joining in the summer , snubbing reported interest from Arsenal , Manchester United and Chelsea , and he shone in their 5-1 Champions League thrashing of Shakhtar Donetsk in midweek with a brace and a helper for Konrad Laimer . Watts is now lamenting the fact that Arsenal did not beat Bayern to the winger 's signature , adding : " I looked at Michael Olise last season , I just felt he was perfect . Tailor-made for Arsenal for what they were looking for , because there was an acceptance after that Bayern game that that type of X-factor player who could create something out of nothing and win a tight game out of nothing was needed and was going to be looked for in the summer . " Ultimately , they did n't find who they were looking for because they did n't bring anyone in . But I looked at Olise , I thought he could have been perfect for Arsenal in those sort of tight games . " While Chelsea also failed in their quest to keep Olise in the Premier League , Enzo Maresca 's attack is thriving this season , as the Blues sit two points above the Gunners in the top-flight table amid their unforeseen title charge . Palmer has scored six more Premier League goals than Saka this season , and Watts has highlighted both the " mercurial " 22-year-old and Chelsea 's overall embarrassment of attacking riches as an example for Arsenal to follow . " You sort of look at the striker and you aim that towards Chelsea , " Watts added . " Nicolas Jackson 's had a good season . I think he 's a good player , a good striker . He 's got something about him , but he 's not at the very top of the game right now . And they 're still scoring plenty of goals because they 've got so many different attacking options that they can turn to . Not necessarily a central striker , but if you 're not playing Pedro Neto , you 're playing Madueke , for example . If you 're not playing Joao Felix , you 're playing another one of their counter-swingers . " And then you 've got Cole Palmer , that mercurial player who floats in and around and scores so many goals for them . Arsenal lack that sort of player . I would like another striker at Arsenal , no doubt about it . But I still feel like it does n't necessarily have to be a number nine . It just has to be another proper goal threat that they just do n't have at the moment . You look at the number of goals they score . It 's not quite enough . " And in these really tight games , that 's where it 's apparent . They share the goals around and that 's great , and so ultimately you look at the goals tally and they are up there . Only Brentford and Chelsea have scored more than them in the Premier League this season . So it 's like , ' well , what 's the fuss about ? ' But they 're obviously shared around . It 's someone who could maybe get 20 , 25 goals a season . Arsenal just do n't quite have that at the moment . " |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a scenario where a goal is scored 'out of nothing,' which is not related to the transitive out of -ing construction.

However , Jesus has not scored a Premier League goal since January , while Havertz drew a blank in the 1-1 draw with Fulham last weekend , meaning that he only has one goal to show from his last seven appearances in the top flight . Havertz did have a goal credited to him in the 3-0 Champions League win over Monaco on Wednesday , but Bukayo Saka fashioned the opportunity , and Watts still feels that Arsenal are still short of a game-changing frontman who can conjure up a goal out of nothing . " The whole striker debate at Arsenal will always rear its head after a game like Fulham , " Watts told Sports Mole . " The real tight games when it 's not quite happening for you , but you are basically camped around the opposition box , and maybe you need someone to score a goal out of nothing . Arsenal do n't really have that player , and it 's been an issue . " You go back to the big games last season . The Bayern Munich defeat in the Champions League , when it was really , really tight . Two-one in the first game , you go over to Munich , it was tight , 0-0 for a long time . Can someone score a goal out of nothing and send yourselves through ? Arsenal do n't really have that type of player , whether it be a striker or a kind of X-factor attacker . " Watts does not buy into the notion that Arsenal need to focus primarily on signing a new centre-forward , rather any offensive player who is capable of producing the big moments when the going gets tough , such as former Crystal Palace sensation Michael Olise . The 23-year-old has come up with nine goals and seven assists in 21 games for Bayern since joining in the summer , snubbing reported interest from Arsenal , Manchester United and Chelsea , and he shone in their 5-1 Champions League thrashing of Shakhtar Donetsk in midweek with a brace and a helper for Konrad Laimer . Watts is now lamenting the fact that Arsenal did not beat Bayern to the winger 's signature , adding : " I looked at Michael Olise last season , I just felt he was perfect . Tailor-made for Arsenal for what they were looking for , because there was an acceptance after that Bayern game that that type of X-factor player who could create something out of nothing and win a tight game out of nothing was needed and was going to be looked for in the summer . " Ultimately , they did n't find who they were looking for because they did n't bring anyone in . But I looked at Olise , I thought he could have been perfect for Arsenal in those sort of tight games . " While Chelsea also failed in their quest to keep Olise in the Premier League , Enzo Maresca 's attack is thriving this season , as the Blues sit two points above the Gunners in the top-flight table amid their unforeseen title charge . Palmer has scored six more Premier League goals than Saka this season , and Watts has highlighted both the " mercurial " 22-year-old and Chelsea 's overall embarrassment of attacking riches as an example for Arsenal to follow . " You sort of look at the striker and you aim that towards Chelsea , " Watts added . " Nicolas Jackson 's had a good season . I think he 's a good player , a good striker . He 's got something about him , but he 's not at the very top of the game right now . And they 're still scoring plenty of goals because they 've got so many different attacking options that they can turn to . Not necessarily a central striker , but if you 're not playing Pedro Neto , you 're playing Madueke , for example . If you 're not playing Joao Felix , you 're playing another one of their counter-swingers . " And then you 've got Cole Palmer , that mercurial player who floats in and around and scores so many goals for them . Arsenal lack that sort of player . I would like another striker at Arsenal , no doubt about it . But I still feel like it does n't necessarily have to be a number nine . It just has to be another proper goal threat that they just do n't have at the moment . You look at the number of goals they score . It 's not quite enough . " And in these really tight games , that 's where it 's apparent . They share the goals around and that 's great , and so ultimately you look at the goals tally and they are up there . Only Brentford and Chelsea have scored more than them in the Premier League this season . So it 's like , ' well , what 's the fuss about ? ' But they 're obviously shared around . It 's someone who could maybe get 20 , 25 goals a season . Arsenal just do n't quite have that at the moment . " |

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

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'out of reading the clues' does not involve a causee NP object that participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Few artists in the history of pop music have had a year like Taylor Swift . The singer , who turns 35 today , started off 2024 as the most prominent spectator at the Super Bowl , where Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs delivered on a romcom ending . Her blockbuster Eras Tour , showcasing 18-plus years of music over a staggering 3.5 hours , continued 2023 's run as pop 's main story overseas and became the best-selling music tour in history . Her 11th studio album , the Tortured Poets Department , may have been a misfire with critics ( myself included ) , but still broke streaming records and dominated the charts ; she was Spotify 's most-streamed artist globally this year . The Eras Tour wrapped last weekend in Vancouver with more than $2bn in ticket sales from more than 10 million attendees -- more than double the next all-time highest-grossing tour , in only 149 shows . In short , Swift is operating in exceedingly rare company , at a scale unimaginable to most artists . Her closest pop peer is arguably Beyonc ? , whose only standard and point of comparison is herself . ( Both also , notably , rarely grant interviews . ) Which raises the question : after a remarkable run of both ubiquity and good press , after the genuinely mind-boggling and commerce-shifting success of the Eras Tour , what next ? First and foremost , at least according to an " exclusive " source at People , is rest , and enjoying the holidays with her boyfriend/Eras tour staple Travis Kelce . And beyond that , a question of where to go when you 're already at the top , especially as Swift 's golden era was also a banner year for a new , younger wave of female artists raised on her music , including Chappell Roan and Eras Tour openers Sabrina Carpenter and Gracie Abrams . Before the all-consuming Eras Tour , Swift indicated a pivot toward film , having sold an original script to Searchlight Pictures in 2022 , which she is also expected to direct . Details of the film have been kept tightly under wraps , other than it being an " exciting and new creative journey " , according to Searchlight heads David Greenbaum and Matthew Greenfield . Swift has previously directed or co-directed 13 music videos and All Too Well : The Short Film , a 15-minute extended music video treatment starring Sadie Sink and Dylan O'Brien . The short film garnered some awards season recognition , with Swift expressing an interest in expanding her repertoire as a director . " I think that I 'm at a place now where the next baby step is not a baby step . It would be committing to making a film , " she said during a discussion at the 2022 Toronto Film Festival , in which she also said she wanted to tell " human stories about human emotion " going to a " more comedic , irreverent place " . Taylor Swift at the Toronto film festival in 2022 . Photograph : Evan Agostini/Invision/AP Swift would follow a long line of pop stars who moved to film after success in the music business -- particularly in their 30s . Lady Gaga was nominated for an Oscar in 2019 for A Star Is Born . Both Selena Gomez and Ariana Grande are in awards contention this year for their performances in Emilia P ? rez and Wicked , respectively . Charli xcx , Swift 's former tour opener ( in 2018 , for Reputation ) whose mainstream takeover with Brat summer was arguably the pop story of the year , has publicly announced her intention to step back from music and focus on acting , with several roles on the calendar . ( " It 's a knife when you 're finally on top , ' cause logically the next step is they want to see you fall to the bottom , " she and Grande sing on the remix of Sympathy Is a Knife , a track originally thought to be about Swift that was redone following Brat 's success ; the industry is small and anxious . ) It 's too soon to tell whether Swift , who has always emphasized storytelling as the center of her career , will also seek to appear in front of the camera . Typically -- as much as " typical " exists in the rarefied world of pop -- artists seeking a next step from music or the grind of touring move to residencies ( think Adele 's stay in Vegas ) , behind-the-scenes mentorship or extended hiatus . But Swift is famously productive -- she has released five studio albums in as many years -- so there 's also the possibility of more new music . Swifties have made a cottage industry out of reading the " clues " for the fan-coveted re-recordings of Reputation and Swift 's 2006 debut album , dates for which have yet to be announced . Swift has kept plans close to her chest , part of a longstanding effort to surprise fans . None of them would begrudge her time off . But she , by her own admission , loves to work . " I 'm happier when I 'm making things more often , " she told Martin McDonagh during a Directors on Directors chat two years ago . So while her next step is anyone 's guess , best to bet on something . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'get pleasure out of handing them over to his friends' involves the verb 'get' with an NP object 'pleasure', but it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, nor does the NP object function as a causee. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Penned and produced by the late George Michael , the track was created with the aim of landing the Christmas Number One in 1984 . However , the pop track was kept off the top spot by Band Aid 's ' Do They Know It 's Christmas ? ' , a track that would go on to become the second best-selling single of all time . Now , the wistful festive classic is back at the top of the Official Singles Chart for an eighth non-consecutive week in just under four years , having first reached the summit for the first time on New Year 's Day 2021 . The accolade also comes as ' Last Christmas ' celebrates its 40th anniversary , which will see the single be released on a special limited-edition physical reissue on both CD and various 12 ? vinyl pressings including a picture disc and a zoetrope disc . You can purchase it here . And , a BBC Two documentary about the creation and cultural impact of the holiday hit is also set to air tomorrow ( December 14 ) . Speaking about how they think the frontman would have reacted to the track finally earning the Number One spot on the charts , Shirlie shared : " We 'd have been at his house having a party ' cause he loved having Number Ones ! And he loved Christmas . He would be relaxed and happy , opening the door with an excited , ' Right ! Come and see my tree ! ' . He 'd have homely , cosy Christmas parties every year . " " George would always be there with a gift , and he 'd get pleasure out of handing them over to his friends , " Pepsi added . " Years later , he would make sure we all got hampers , and Christmas did n't arrive until you received your George Michael hamper from Fortnum & Mason . " This year , the race for the Christmas Number One mirrored that of 1984 when Wham ! were against Band Aid 's ' Do They Know it 's Christmas ? ' . Speaking about this realisation , Shirlie said : " When I saw that Band Aid had made a documentary , I thought , ' Oh no ! ' . It 's funny .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'take some of the stress out of crowdfunding for families' does not involve a V1 verb followed by an NP object and then 'out of' with a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not yield a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to describe relieving stress from an activity, which does not align with the defined properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Three children were left overjoyed after receiving ' the best Christmas present in the world ' - bionic arms . Zoey Hampton-Pigeon , 8 , Finn Jarvis , 11 and Ettie Baker , eight , were given their new ' life-changing ' Hero Arms yesterday ( 12 December ) - thanks to The Big Hero 3 campaign . The campaign , launched by mother Sarah Lockey , helps families of children with missing limbs to fundraise for bionic arms . Ettie 's Mum , Alyse , said her daughter ' screamed ' when she found out about her new Hero Arm - which she would get just in time for Christmas . Alyse said : " Ettie has always shown so much love for her difference and loves celebrating differences . However , as she is getting older , she is becoming increasingly aware of just how different she is . " She 's becoming more conscious of the stares when out and is sometimes frustrated that she ca n't do things the same as everyone else - so having the opportunity to receive a Hero Arm is life-changing for Ettie in so many ways . For Ettie , she 's excited about being able to do things like handstands , ride her bike without an adaption and tying her shoes . " " As parents we are excited about these things too , but also all the other ways the Hero Arm will change Ettie 's life . We see how strong she is when asked about her limb difference on an almost daily basis and we know it will help her feel more confident so she can continue to embrace her perfectly imperfect self . " We are absolutely over the moon to be working together with two other children and are really hoping to see them all receive this life changing arm . " The Open Bionics Foundation , which provides financial support to people who need multi-grip upper limb prosthetics , The Worshipful Company of The Glovers , Foresight Group and an anonymous donor have all contributed ? 40,000 towards the children 's new bionic arms . The last ? 20,000 has been raised by all three families working together . Zoey 's Dad , Thomas , said his little girl was so excited upon receiving the news that she was ' jumping up and down squealing ' . He described the ' life-changing ' opportunity as ' amazing ' . The family found out about their daughter 's limb difference at her 20-week scan . Thomas said : " It was a very scary and emotional time not knowing what to expect . When Zoey was born she saw several specialists but there are no answers about why this happened to Zoey , it 's just one of those things . " Now eight-years-old , Thomas says Zoey is a ' very happy , caring , confident , and adventurous little girl ' . He added : " That being said , Zoey is getting to an age where she is becoming more self-conscious and less happy to accept help . " Zoey is an active young girl ' always on the go ' - as she is a member of a gymnastics club , does swimming lessons , and loves trampolining . Thomas says with her new hero hand Zoey is looking forward to being able to use a skipping rope . He explained : " Zoey does struggle with some everyday tasks such as tying her laces , using a knife and fork , doing up a zip and carrying a tray . A hero arm will make such a massive difference to her independence enabling her to do all these tasks , as well as her beloved skipping , without relying on help from others . " Sarah Lockey was inspired to set up the campaign , which is now in its fourth run , after her daughter lost her hand to meningitis at just 15 months old . She said : " It turned my world around and I promised one day I would get Tilly her hand back . " She now wears two hero arms daily - so I want to support others who are going through the same thing . I know first-hand how daunting it is to raise money for prosthetics and how scary it can be - so the campaign helps take some of the stress out of crowdfunding for families . " It is just incredible for three children to benefit and for their families all to meet and fundraise together . " Finn Jarvis , who is the third child receiving a hero arm , has been described by his loved ones as ' the boss of the family ' . Young Finn was born with no hand due to his Mum being involved in a serious car accident whilst carrying him . Finn 's Dad , Ben , said : " Finn is a happy go lucky boy - he is kind , fearless and extremely switched on . " He is now 11 and about to attend Brymore academy secondary school - an agricultural school . With this opportunity of a Big Hero Arm the possibilities for him to excel are endless . " Finn has always been encouraged to see things as a challenge when his lack of limb has posed a problem . This he has always embraced and conquered , although at times having to compromise , where others have not had to . Finn is so excited to be given this opportunity and to see where and how this is going to change his life . " Finley Jarvis with his new Open Bionics arm ( Image : No credit ) Sarah added the campaign is her ' favourite thing ' to do - and it has been a delight for the children to meet and receive such a life-changing opportunity . She added : " We are hoping to do another campaign next year if any donors who want to get involved to help are interested . " |

While there was plenty of noise inside Ashton Gate during Bristol City 's 4-0 win over Plymouth Argyle at the end of November , one of the biggest cheers of the afternoon came early in the first half when Sam Bell made his way out in front of the Lansdown Stand to warm-up as a substitute . However , his first start of the season was brought to an end after just 44 minutes as the academy graduate pulled with another hamstring injury that would see him stuck on the treatment table for almost another four months . " It 's been quite tough , especially to have two big injuries in quick succession , " Bell admitted on Friday afternoon . " It was quite frustrating , especially the second time around because you basically know you 're going through the whole process again . " Both times I came to terms with it as quickly as I could , I think that 's what you 've got to do . You ca n't dwell on it and you 've just got to use it as an opportunity to strengthen yourself , even if that 's off the field as well . " It 's probably easy for other people outside to say it 's only an injury but this is our whole life . " City 's misfortune on the injury front ultimately proved to be beneficial to Bell as during his recovery the young forward was joined by the likes of Rob Atkinson and Ayman Benarous who were forced to contend with their own setbacks after major injuries . Although the young forward would have much rather have been playing with his teammates out on the Ashton Gate turf , their company alongside extra off-the-field tasks set by Liam Manning ensured that the 22-year-old continued his development even when he was stuck in the stands . " It helps massively in terms of advice and even building relationships , " the forward explained . " You spend so much time together on a one-on-one basis , especially if you 're on a similar timeframe to another player so I definitely think that 's a positive that can come out of being injured . " You build new relationships and that can then transfer onto the pitch . I did n't work with the analysts this time around but during my first injury , I had a look at a couple of games before the Leicester game . I watched a couple of their games and had a look into how the analysts prep for us and it certainly makes you appreciate what they do . " You watch the game through a different pair of eyes . When you 're analysing what the team is trying to do and understanding it from the gaffer 's viewpoint , you engage with it a bit more and understand it more . " However , after months on the sidelines , in the 88th minute of City 's thrashing of Plymouth , the Ashton Gate crowd took to their feet to applaud Yu Hirakawa off of the field and then embrace Bell as he made what was just his second league appearance in nine months . Although the versatile forward did n't manage to get on the scoresheet himself , he joined in the celebrations as Sinclair Armstrong wrapped all three points with a calm right-footed effort right at the start of stoppage time . After a busy summer transfer window in South Bristol , the entire make-up of Manning 's City squad is completely different to the one that was in place when Bell picked up his initial injury . In attack , the Robins were previously reliant on the goals of Tommy Conway with their options in the wide areas limited , but now the likes of Bell , Hirakawa , Anis Mehmeti , Scott Twine , George Earthy , Max Bird , Mark Sykes and even Harry Cornick are all fighting for a place in one of the attacking positions in the Reds ' starting line-up . While that means Bell has to be at his best to force his way back into the team week in and week out , the Bristol City academy graduate is relishing the challenge of forcing his way back into the fold consistently . " We 've added a lot in the attacking third of the pitch , " admitted the 22-year-old . " We 're creating a lot of chances , we 're dominating teams in those areas and we 've built from last season where defensively we were very sound but perhaps did n't have that killer edge at times . " You can always work on that , I think we 'd have liked to have killed a few games off but I definitely think that chance-creation wise we 've built a lot on that and it 's only a matter of time before we 're consistently finding the net . Join Bristol City Live 's Whatsapp community for all the biggest Bristol City stories sent straight to your phone " As an attacker watching it , I could n't wait to get back out there to contribute my bit . " Having impressed as a pseudo right wing-back off of the bench in the Robins ' 1-1 draw with Sunderland on Tuesday night , Bell will be pushing to make his first Championship start since February when the Reds welcome QPR to Ashton Gate on Saturday lunchtime . Marti Cifuentes ' side are unbeaten in their last five matches and have managed to keep clean sheets in each of their last four games and while Bell is expecting the Hoops to provide a " tough " test , it is a challenge that he and his teammates in City colours are relishing in front of the home crowd . " We know they 're going to be a tough team to break down but that 's what we sometimes need to do because teams come to us and know that we 're going to pass it around and get in good areas so they try and eliminate that as much as possible . We need to find other solutions to break them down and hopefully , we can do that . " It 's massive , when we might be needing a goal , to have that encouragement from the crowd it can almost will the ball into the net and if we 're winning , for them to get behind us and keep it out the other end is huge and hopefully , they get behind us this weekend .

Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas O ' Connell have given hope to producers the world over by letting their music do the talking in an era when quality so often takes second place to image - and where the brand can be more important than the band . Their work not only proves that genuinely great music can still sell records , Eilish and O ' Connell have shown how a totally DIY and low budget ethos can help make it possible . Yes we all know you can use the internet to promote your music , and yes we all know you can make pro-sounding music on a cheap computer , but no-one has really shown us how quite like Eilish and O ' Connell . Eilish 's debut album When We All Fall Asleep , Where Do We Go ? , co-written and produced by Finneas , is estimated to have sold some 10 million copies worldwide . It hit number one in more than 20 countries , spawned at least four multi-platinum selling singles ( from seven released from the album ) , won multiple Grammys , and made Eilish a global superstar at just 17 years of age . And , it was all recorded in a bedroom . ( Image credit : Steve Granitz/WireImage ) This was not one of those ' bedroom studios ' which was secretly more tantamount to a pro studio , but an actual bedroom with a bed , just using a computer running Logic , a UAD interface and a set of Yamaha monitors . Just four people are credited on the album : Eilish , O ' Connell plus mixing engineer Rob Kinelski and mastering engineer John Greenham . Like we say , this album gives hope to anyone and everyone who wants to make it in music . Got a computer with an internet connection ? You too can be a star . Eilish first used the internet for musical gain -- perhaps unwittingly -- with the track Ocean Eyes which she uploaded to SoundCloud in 2015 after having uploaded another couple of early Finneas collaborations , She 's Broken and Fingers Crossed . Ocean Eyes blew up and a year later Eilish and O ' Connell found themselves with a deal on Darkroom/Interscope Records . ( Image credit : Getty Images ) It 's true that a team of people then got involved in the story to help move it and Eilish 's career , onto a supersonic trajectory - Spotify deals were done , videos made , and images tweaked - but the music was at the core of it all , and this remained very much her and Finneas 's domain , more specifically within projects in his Logic folder . The 2017 debut EP Do n't Smile At Me charted on both sides of the Atlantic leading to live shows that would help build a fanbase , and suddenly Eilish and Finneas would find themselves with an album to create in that bedroom studio . " People have put a lot of emphasis on that room as part of our lineage , " Finneas told Mixonline in 2020 when asked about the now infamous bedroom studio where the duo recorded all of their early songs , and the tracks that formed When We All Fall Asleep , Where Do We Go ? . But while they were clearly using the room because it was cheap and easy ( it was in the family home in Highland Park , Los Angeles where they grew up ) it did have some decent acoustic properties for recording , particularly vocals . " The bedroom has a very specific sound , " Finneas said , " very tight and intimate and closed and quiet . I love the way it makes vocals sound . It was lovely to make an album there , but I think it 's really important to work wherever you are , or wherever you have your tools . " And , that was it . Eilish would sit on the bed to record her vocals using an Audio Technica AT2020 ( as used on Ocean Eyes ) and later a Neumann TLM 103a on which Finneas commented : " I recommend the TLM 103 to anyone ; it 's such a good microphone " . He would use third-party plugins for some keyboard sounds , in particular Spectrasonics Keyscape . " It 's amazing , " he said , " especially the Dark Indie upright pianos . My piano in my parent 's room is not situated well for recording . It 's more fun to write on it , then record on a MIDI keyboard , especially because I like tweaking MIDI parts , changing and perfecting them . " ( Image credit : Fender ) However , Spectrasonics aside , most of the plugins Finneas used on When We All Fall Asleep , Where Do We Go ? were actually those that came supplied with Logic , as he revealed when discussing some of the vocal effects used on the album . " It 's really good at making a vocal sound crazy and unique , " he said , describing the DAW 's Vocal Transformer plugin . " It 's not necessarily the most intuitive plugin , but if you twiddle the knobs and change some dials , it makes things really interesting . " Finneas continues , " that 's the plugin I use on Bad Guy for the ' rattlesnake ' vocal . I also use really harsh tremolo a lot . It 's set to zero percent smooth , so it 's chopping the signal , and I 'll set it to eighth- or sixteenth-note values , then set the depth .

Overall , then , it 's obvious that Finneas is not a huge advocate of buying gear for the sake of it , and that is perhaps the other big story behind When We All Fall Asleep , Where Do We Go ? . It is not just about an album recorded in a bedroom , but one where gear choices were at a minimum , a limitation that seem to have helped the end product . " I always encourage people not to think that they have to spend a lot of money on gear , " Finneas told Sound on Sound in 2019 . " The less stuff you have , the easier it is to make music . I also think it 's really cool that people realise that Billie and I did the music , just the two of us , and that I am recording and producing all her stuff , because it may make them feel powerful enough to create their own music . " He later extended this theory in his interview with Mixonline : " When I was starting to make music , I thought I had to pay a bunch of people to do all my things professionally and that that would be the only way I would ever have any success . It 's really important for kids to not think that there 's something intangible and out of reach for them . The truth is that you just have to make a song that people like . " After creating tracks for the album and getting them to a level Eilish and he were happy with , Finneas would send the stems off to mixing engineer Rob Kinelski , and then mastering engineer John Greenham . " Everything that I 've sent that he Rob 's mixed is pre-compressed and pre-panned , and all the reverbs and all the delays are pretty much already there , " Finneas said . " I 'm not looking for Rob to ' fix ' anything ; he just makes it a little more balanced , because everything comes out of my bedroom at my parent 's house with too much bass . Rob and our mastering engineer , John Greenham , make sure our stuff sounds good everywhere . " Rob Kinelski confirmed this input in an interview on the Pensado 's Place podcast , stating his main role on the album was , " do n't get in the way of it . It was just a good flow . I was a new father and did n't have time to think about it . It was chaos in the house and I work out of my house which took me out of overthinking it . " Finneas is brilliant , their records are so ' thought out ' at every level already , and everything is intentional , so like I said , ' do n't get in the way of it ' . It 's so ' ready ' from Finneas and Billie -- they know what they want . " Rob was also asked about the plugin chain that he would typically use on Billie 's vocal stems for mixing . His overarching ethos was , " simplicity , because they send me a really full-sounding vocal , amazing material . I always use the Waves Fairchild plugin , a little bit of de-essing , a UAD/Neve 1073 and the Fabfilter Pro Q , and if I 'm doing EQ with her it 's mostly subtractive . I also use the Waves Vocal Rider plugin , very mildly . There 's zero struggle when I work on their stuff . " ( Image credit : Apple Music ) 1 . ! ! ! ! ! ! ! The first track on When We All Fall Asleep , Where Do We Go ? Is ! ! ! ! ! ! ! , and was designed as a light-hearted introduction to an album with some dark material to follow , so is Eilish and Finneas laughing about her Invisalign tooth straightener ; she would have to remove it before vocal takes . Finneas had recorded that audio so much he said it could become her signature sound . 2 . Bad GuyThen we 're straight into the monster hit Bad Guy - a chart topper in 20 countries and multiple award-winner , yet incredibly the fifth single released from the album . " The greatest challenge was not overthinking it , " Finneas told Pitchforkabout recording the track . " I thought I was blowing it by having that instrumental pulse chorus . Billie had written all of the lyrics for the outro of the song and I loved it . She was recording it in her bedroom and had her Yamaha HS5s and and HS8 sub on shelves and they were rattling the entire room . They sounded insane . The breakthrough was understanding that the two different parts of the song could be smashed together and would make it way cooler . " 3 . XannyXanny then sums up a lot of the production values on the album , with delicate Eilish vocals backed with huge distorted basslines while the vocals themselves are heavily affected during both chorus and verse . It 's a lesson in understatement with a stripped back arrangement but , you suspect , many , many vocals tracks and takes . It 's also the song where Finneas decided to hold back on quantisation : " I stopped quantising most of the things I played on this album , because I like the human element , " he told Vulture in 2019.4 . You Should See Me In a CrownThe first single from the album , You Should See Me in a Crown , is next and we take a step left to trap but still with the now distinctive heavy bass , lead vocals and multiple backing vocals all hanging around the title of the song as the main hook . 5 . All the Good Girls Go to HellSixth ( yes you read that right ) single All the Good Girls Go to Hell then follows and is one of the jauntier tracks on the album , yet about the bleak subject of climate change and how it has affected California in particular . 6 . Wish You Were GayWith some controversy over the title -- although the song was actually written about rejection -- Wish You Were Gay follows the now quirky arrangement formula on When We All Fall Asleep ... , with Billie 's vocals taking a clear lead , and Finneas throwing odd-ball samples , beats and acoustic guitar at the mix . And why not throw a bit of distortion in there too ? 7 . When The Party 's OverThis album highlight was understandably chosen as the second single . " We knew we wanted it to be almost entirely vocal , " Finneas told Pitchfork . " Another instrument does n't come in until like a minute , until the first chorus , a sub bass . It 's three instruments : vocals , sub bass and acoustic piano . " That said , he did then admit there were around 100 vocal tracks with , " stacks of each layer of each harmony part , stacks of the doubles lead vocal , stacks of every harmony of the lead vocal , weird processed ad libs . We worked on it for weeks and weeks . " Billie Eilish - you should see me in a crown ( Vertical Video ) - YouTube 8. 8Eighth track , ' 8 ' is certainly one of the growers on the album , with a Billie vocal that goes from childlike to grown up and back - we like to think using a plugin like Little AlterBoy - with a simple strumming guitar tying it all together and some more vocal trickery on the chorus . By now we 're starting to wonder if this album really was created by a 17 and 22 year old sister and brother ... pure genius . 9 . My Strange AddictionFeaturing samples from The Office ( US ) - Billie is a huge fan - My Strange Addiction is one of the certified platinum singles from the album and one of the most ' pop ' , and also one of the few tracks to feature an extra credit with Casey Cuayo taking up assistant mixer duties . 10 . Bury a FriendNext up , Bury a Friend is notable as being not just the third single from the album - not to mention one of Eilish 's signature tracks - but also the song the duo were working on where the tonal shift of the album went into what Finneas calls " a more violent space " . The darker themes are prominent here , with him telling Pitchfork , " all of the percussion in Bury a Friend , all of the super , blown out distorted vocals , the crazy alarm sound at the end of that song , they are all sounds that are kind of jarring , kid of unpleasant , a little bit ominous . " 11 . IlomiloSeventh and final single Ilomilo is another stunner production wise , with several vocal effects introduced between verse and chorus , an insistent electronic backdrop keeping up a frantic atmosphere , yet that arrangement keeping up the sparse theme of the album , and working all the better for it . Once again , the maturity of the sound is well beyond the years of its producers . 12 : Listen Before I GoListen Before I Go maintains the twist in sound towards a darker feel started by Bury a Friend during the production of the album . " That was the biggest shift from wherever we had been before was these really dark textures and dark sounds , " Finneas told Pitchfork , before revealing that the intense bass in the middle of the arrangement that is at odds with the ' pretty ' song was , a ' crazy , distorted bass that I play on a thing called a ROLI Seaboard . ' 13 . I Love YouBy now you realise that only Eilish and Finneas could get away with writing a beautiful acoustic song called I Love You , and then pepper the second verse with samples from a plane . " The whole second verse is about sitting on the tarmac in a plane , " Finneas said . " You know when you press the button on the roof of the plane to summon a flight attendant and it goes ' do do ' ? I took that and pitch shifted it into all of the chords in the second verse . " 14 . GoodbyeFinal track Goodbye is all about the vocal harmonies , a fitting end to a stunning debut release , and along with I Love you represents the end of the album story according to Finneas : " I love story arcs , " he told Vulture . " I love things that have a conclusion . So I really love that this album finishes and it has this kind of farewell to it . Even I Love You is kind of a farewell in a certain way . That was really important to me . " ( Image credit : Darkroom/Interscope ) The story of When We All Fall Asleep , Where Do We Go ? is extraordinary , then , and one where the song wins over the studio , and the vocal genius over the plugin . There 's no doubt that its production story also shows that the people were the most important part of the album , Billie Eilish and Finneas driving it at a ridiculously young age , thanks perhaps to an upbringing that allowed them the freedom to explore music , songwriting and production . " We were homeschooled and there were these interesting elective , extracurricular classes that parents would teach , " Finneas told Music Week in 2024 " My mom is a wonderful songwriter and wanted to teach a songwriting class . My friends and I took it , and I just fell in love with songwriting . " And while people and upbringing are both at the core of this most successful of albums , perhaps the biggest takeaway from Eilish 's debut is that ' less is more ' for everything : less plugins , less studio space , less instruments in arrangements , less songwriters , and less tinkering from layers of engineers and producers ; as Finneas concluded to Music Week " Obviously , some people are able to write these monster hits with six , eight people in the room and I 'm happy for them . It 's just not the way that I like to write music . I do n't find that it makes a better song personally . The music I 've always loved the most is the music that 's the most unedited , the most unmitigated -- music that feels like it 's coming straight from the artists . And they do n't feel like artists who are letting a lot of cooks into the kitchen .

Brits have been voicing their frustration over the " shocking " cost of Royal Mail stamps , which they believe is contributing to the plummeting sales of Christmas cards in 2024 . Reports earlier this week indicated a 23% decrease in boxed card sales and a 15% fall in individual card purchases compared to last year 's figures . According to a Moneypenny survey , nearly half ( 49% ) of businesses are opting out of sending festive greetings to clients and suppliers this year . TikTok user Jade Doutch expressed her astonishment after purchasing a book of four first-class stamps , exclaiming in her video : " Since when is a book of four stamps ? 6.60 ? " She continued : " I just had such a shock - I thought they were about 25p each ! " Another commenter shared their disbelief , saying : " I could n't believe it , I shouted , ' ? 1.65 ' in shock . " That 's the last stamp I buy . " Echoing the sentiment , someone else recalled : " I bought a book of four a few months ago , I nearly had a heart attack at the price . " While a third TikTok user admitted : " I work in a Tesco Express and I actually warn people how much they are before scanning them . It 's unbelievable . " Meanwhile , one generous individual has found an alternative , stating : " I decided a couple of years ago to stop sending cards because of the cost of stamps . Decided to send money instead to Crisis at Christmas . " An astonishing revelation was then shared by one keen observer , who claimed : " Saw a post showing if you post 100 cards it 's cheaper to fly to Spain , post from there and fly back . " Indeed , this statement comes off the back of a startling report that demonstrated how flying abroad could actually be more cost-effective for UK residents looking to post their Christmas greetings in bulk . Analysis by The Telegraph and Skyscanner pinpointed six foreign locations where posting 100 Christmas cards is less costly than dispatching them within Britain , even when including the expenses of return airfare . Currently , mailing 100 first-class Christmas cards within the UK totals an eye-watering ? 165 . Contrast that with Albania , where an international stamp sells for a mere 100 Lek ( 85p ) , bringing the price down to just ? 85 for the same quantity of cards , which may take up to five working days to arrive in the UK . Flight comparison website Skyscanner suggests travellers can find flights from Luton to Tirana for as low as ? 27 in December . Accordingly , jetting off to the Albanian capital to send off 100 Christmas cards would have a complete cost of only ? 112 - a startling saving of ? 53 compared to sticking a stamp on them at home . In a separate video , a savvy TikTok user has put forward her own penny-pinching advice regarding stamp purchases this festive season . Jo Jacob , the founder of Benella Home Organisation , adds : " I just want to make sure you 're aware of this trick to save money if you happen to be posting Christmas cards this year . " She recommended : " Make sure you do n't get the barcoded stamps ones - do n't get the first or second class normal ones . Get proper Christmas stamps , because when the prices of stamps go up , they do n't change - they are still valid . So if you have Christmas stamps from five years ago and you bought them at whatever price they were , they 're still valid now . So maybe buy more than you 'll need as you can use them next year . " A Royal Mail spokesperson had previously informed : " Our stamp prices of 85p for second class and ? 1.65 for first class remain well below the European average of ? 1.33 and ? 1.73 respectively . " We always consider the price of stamps very carefully in the face of declining letter volumes and the increasing costs associated with maintaining the one-price-goes-anywhere universal service to all 32 million UK addresses .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'pulled out of facing La Rochelle' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The Blue , Black and Whites head into the game coming off the back of a narrow 24-20 defeat to two-time champions La Rochelle at the Recreation Ground on Friday night , meaning the English club are in need of some points to start in the hunt to make the last 16 knockout rounds of the competition . Benetton also suffered defeat last weekend , going down 28-0 away at a rejuvenated Clermont to increase the importance of their home fixture against the English side .

Scotland star Russell has been away on holiday this week and club captain Spencer pulled out of facing La Rochelle late in the day with a tight hamstring . Speaking on Tuesday , van Graan said : " We will use our squad . We will make some changes to the team . As I said three weeks ago we have got 12 games in this block . The Champions Cup is obviously a big competition , we have got three big games coming up in the Premiership over the Christmas period as well . We are going to keep using our squad and we back our squad . " Providing an injury update on Spencer and England flanker Sam Underhill , who injured his ankle while scoring a try against Japan on international duty this Autumn , van Graan said : " Ben is doing some rehab here on his hamstring , we will make our decision on him later in the week . " Sam is in the building , Beno Obano is back on the training field . We have picked up one or two knocks and bruises from the weekend . Archie Griffin looks like he has injured his shoulder . We will do some more research on what that looks like over the next couple of weeks . " Hello and welcome .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes forging a career from traveling, which is not an instance of the construction.

A quick glimpse at social media may confirm your long-held suspicions : everyone 's a travel influencer nowadays , with Gran and Grandad uploading photos of their latest cruise to Facebook , while the nieces transform a week on the Costas into a Kardashian-worthy reel for TikTok . Some people , however , do it so well that they 've forged a career out of travelling the world and posting about it . These lucky globetrotters seem to fall into seven distinct types of influencer . Below , we 've outlined who they are and where to find them so you can join them somewhere exotic -- or give them an extremely wide berth , depending on your preference . Strange hybrids of old-school foreign correspondents and the cast of Jackass , these daredevils are fearless in the name of social media . Exploring Mexican cartel country and Chernobyl are goals , as is traversing things the rest of us might think twice about ( YouTubers seem to love crossing Pakistan 's harrowing Hussaini Suspension Bridge , for example ) . Operators such as Lupine Travel , an influencer favourite which runs trips to Mali , Afghanistan and Yemen as well as other lesser-visited destinations , can help ensure things go without a hitch ( though each of these countries is on the FCDO 's no-go list , so we 'd advise steering clear ) . Bolivia 's Camino de la Muerte , thought to be the most dangerous road in the world , attracts plenty of tourists and influencers Credit : Alamy How about a cycle along Bolivia 's Camino de la Muerte ( Death Road ) ? Dubbed the most dangerous road in the world , it 's operator Gravity Bolivia 's most popular destination . A day 's ride costs $125pp ( ? 98 ) and descends for 40 miles from mountain peaks , tackling the mountain-hugging dirt track en route . A Canarian all-inclusive -- possibly the safest holiday one can take ( aside from the listeria-from-the-buffet risk ) . There 's something oddly relaxing about watching Youtube videos of airplane meal reveals . The ASMR-ey flick of the foil lid , the gentle prodding of the salad -- like meditation to an airline geek . The people who make this content are probably pretty zen too , because they get to try out the latest premium cabins or airport lounges on a quest to help the public decide between airlines . Or are they ? If you fancy seeing what you could be eating in first class , follow a ' Plane Talker ' Credit : Alamy " No one is ever going to feel sorry for an influencer sitting in First Class and that 's valid . I do n't ! " says Gilbert Ott of God Save The Points . " What 's less considered though is that you 're rarely in control of your own time , often flying seven-plus time zones away for a single day and immediately turning around -- and that most of the flight is spent documenting it for others , rather than being in Out Of Office mode . " The flights I 've paid for in First Class are entirely different in feeling to the preview flights I 've been involved in , where the whole time is spent gathering things like seat dimensions , testing bluetooth connectivity , tasting dishes I 'd never want to taste on the ground and creating multimedia content that can be leveraged on a multitude of platforms . " Perhaps Economy is n't so bad after all . In a newly-revamped First Class cabin . From mid-2026 , BA 's will come with larger seats , mood lighting and personal luggage space . On the train . You 'll find most family influencers in the likes of the Maldives Credit : Getty If ever a doom scroll was guaranteed to make you feel dreadful about your life , it 's encountering a tanned , gorgeous family paddling at sunset , just after you 've shouted at your own children to go to bed while absent-mindedly performing a risky sweep of a schoolbag in search of last week 's packed lunch . Behind a lot of the perfect pictures are mums who work tirelessly on both marketing and schooling in the name of making memories . The payoff is free trips to some of the world 's best hotels . Clare Fisher of @traveltheworldfamily says : " You can often find us at tropical beach destinations like the Maldives . We are addicted to the luxury resorts , fun , relaxation and paradise that this incredible country offers , but we typically visit during the off-peak season around June/July as this is when resorts are able to partner with influencers . " Villas with waterslides and an incredible outdoor playground make Soneva Jani in the Maldives a popular snapping spot . Best At Travel has a week 's B&B from ? 4,271pp for a family of four ( 0203 993 0648 , bestattravel.co.uk ) . UK self-catering -- far too grey to make the matching swimwear pop . Japan is a particularly popular country for food influencers TikTok has a lot to answer for : middle-aged people who now think it 's OK to dance and hope everybody 's watching , a disconcerting algorithm that knows your darkest thoughts , and the teenage fixation with Japanese convenience stores . This last is the result of ' Foodtok ' , a movement to document everything that makes it into your mouth , wherever you are in the world . Some of these accounts are more riveting than others : there are only so many ' **29;2054;TOOLONG World ' reels you can watch in one sitting , but the low-fi voiceovers and dry reviews of Japan Eat are as addictive as MSG . The best ' foodfluencers ' have also played an important role in the democratisation of the food scene , highlighting tiny , tucked away restaurants as well as pricey Michelin-starred palaces . In Italy , making pasta sauce with a nonna . Or at a Japanese 7-Eleven , filming onigiri and egg sandos . Trailfinders 's two-week A Food Lovers ' Japan tour is a grid-worthy trip for gastronomes that includes a cooking class in Kyoto , tour of Osaka 's street food and stay in a Buddhist monastery . From ? 3,479pp including private and group activities and some meals but excluding flights ( 020 7084 6500 ) . In the local Costa . In 2020 , a weird fever hit the world . It was n't coronavirus . It was the compulsion to show how happily united you were as a couple , preferably against a backdrop of paradise beach or incredible cityscape . You 'll know these influencers : their pandemic played out in the Gili Islands in a heady combo of turquoise sea , beach bungalows and revealing swimwear while the rest of us wore jogging bottoms for the daily walk around the garden . Though these accounts can be polarising , they 're certainly popular . Marie Fe and Jake Snow ( @mariefeandjakesnow ) have 1.3 million Instagram followers on their shared account and have now branched out into hotels in Bali . Kissing on a balcony in front of the Eiffel Tower for full romance factor . The penthouse at influencer-favourite the Four Seasons Hotel Georges V has the best view of the structure in the city -- but costs upwards of ? 18,500 per night ( comparatively cheaper suites with monument vistas cost from around ? 5,500 per night ; 0033149 527000 ) . Anywhere that 's too reserved for full PDAs . So , England again . Brands are keen to showcase their products on adventurous influencers Credit : Getty The influencer least likely to don a bikini , this one prefers layers of Patagonia and artfully muddied hiking boots but still normally manages to look like a supermodel . With a penchant for ' van life ' , they 're mostly spotted in the wilderness in all weathers and favour American national parks over beach resorts or swish city hotels . Get this one right and there 's scope for high earnings . Brands are keen to showcase their products helping photogenic go-getters climbing mountains or traipsing through the jungle . The GOF has lately spawned a sub-category of High-Achieving GOFs who mix high-powered careers with extreme marathons ( see helicopter pilot , luxury real estate broker and influencer Alvaro Nu ? ez Alfaro and ex-Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews ) . Alaska . KE Adventure Travel 's two-week Alaskan Wilderness Adventure involves nights in remote backcountry , on the hunt for bears , wolves and moose . From ? 5,995pp including flights and some meals ( 017687 73966 ) . Dubai . Each trip brings them ever nearer to both aesthetic perfection and eternal life . Welcome to the world of the wellness/travel hybrid influencers who are ice bathing and cryogenic chambering their way across the globe , one expensive spa at a time . Often survivors of hectic jobs in banking , this lot are desperate to shed the haunted look that comes with long days under strip lighting and have the financial nous to make a career out of sponsored posts and collabs . Whether they 're documenting a deeply-cleansing retreat in Thailand or a medically-driven stay at Switzerland 's Dolder Grand , they do it looking glowy and scrubbed to perfection . It 's worth noting that even this type of influencing can be dangerous if you do n't know what you 're doing : in October 2024 , Twitch streamer and YouTuber Kanel Joseph , who is more usually seen tackling Parisian pickpockets or using board game money in supermarkets , reportedly had to be taken to hospital after spending a little too much time in an ice bath . Expect to spot at least one influencer during a stay at Maya Ubud in Bali Bali . Maya Ubud Resort is popular for its spa , yoga studio and misty pool which segues to jungle .

The full-time whistle at Emirates Stadium on Saturday was met with a smattering of boos from Arsenal supporters , knowing this was a huge missed opportunity to drag themselves back into contention in the Premier League title race . The Gunners were held to a frustrating goalless draw by Everton and can not afford too many more slip-ups if the league trophy is to head back to north London for the first time in more than two decades . Mikel Arteta 's men have set themselves a high standard after running Manchester City close in recent seasons but are already playing catch-up on leaders Liverpool , who drew 2-2 with Fulham at Anfield . Against the Toffees , Arsenal dominated possession with 76% and had 13 shots , but were unable to breakdown a resolute Everton backline . " I am disappointed not to win the game , " said boss Arteta . " There is only one team that deserves to win and that is Arsenal . " We gave nothing away - no shots conceded , dominated the play , did not allow them to run , no set-pieces and the high press was excellent . " We generated chances but you have to score with all the dominance . I can not ask more more from the boys apart from putting the ball in the net . We have to put them away . " Third-placed Arsenal are on 30 points after 16 games , having failed to win half of their games , and it highlights a drop-off in form from the previous two campaigns . At this same stage last season , they were on 36 points and in second place , while the season before , they were sitting top of the table on 40 points . They have lost just twice so far , the same number as those two seasons , but draws are costing them this term with six to their name . After failing to beat Fulham last Sunday , Arsenal have drawn back-to-back league games for the first time since April 2023 , while this was their first goalless draw at home since January 2023 against Newcastle . So is the lack of a prolific striker becoming a problem ? Arsenal have scored four fewer goals than at this stage last season and 11 fewer than in 2022-23 . Their shot conversion rate is 12.8% , which is on par with their expected conversion rate of 12.3% . They have scored as many non-penalty goals after 16 games this season as they did last season ( 27 ) , but have won four fewer penalties . The Gunners have taken 13 fewer shots than they had at the same stage last term . Their current expected goals ( xG ) is 27.7 , compared to 29.71 after 16 games last season and 31.53 at the same stage in 2022-23 . Arsenal have found the net 29 times this season , but the division 's better sides usually overperform their xG because they have better players at their disposal . By way of contrast , Arteta 's side overperformed their xG by three goals last season , and by 8.5 in 2022-23 . Of the 27 goals ( excluding penalties ) they have scored during the Premier League this season , nine have come from set-pieces , which is 33.33% of their overall tally . So , Arsenal 's finishing is down in terms of overperforming xG which a top striker could help with , but their creativity in terms of the amount of shots they 're creating is also down . You could also argue though a striker could help with that too in terms of greater movement and anticipation helping him get chances that others would n't . With the January window about to open , Arsenal have been linked with a move for Newcastle 's in-form Alexander Isak and Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic . Ex-Arsenal defender Martin Keown recently said on TNT Sports the side could do with a " different tool in the box " and a player who can " find an opportunity out of nothing " . Since the start of last season , Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka together account for a third of the team 's goals but one moment in the second half highlighted why they are missing a finisher . A pass was slipped through into the box for Havertz , but the Germany international was unable to sort his feet out and Everton cleared the ball , whereas a clinical number nine may well have controlled it and slotted home . Former Arsenal winger Theo Walcott said on BBC Radio 5 Live : " Any opportunity that Arsenal do n't get a result is always going to be a missed opportunity because Liverpool are relentless . You would n't have thought Liverpool had 10 men in that game . " It was a dogged performance from Everton - you could have predicted that performance before the game but of course it is a missed opportunity . " The result against Everton leaves Arsenal with little wiggle room for mistakes in the title race . The hosts huffed and puffed on Saturday but to no avail , leaving them trailing league leaders Liverpool by six points having played a game more . Scoring from corners has been a potent weapon since the start of last season , netting 23 goals from such occasions , but they could not convert from eight this time . In open play , they could not find the key to unlock an Everton defence that sat deep and much of this owed to a lack of focal point up front . Arsenal crossed the ball 28 times but without a centre forward to aim the ball at , it allowed opposition centre-backs Jarrad Branthwaite and James Tarkowski to clear . Arteta said : " When you do what we did today against them , you have to win the game . This is football and the hardest thing is the last 20-25 metres . " Credit to them for blocking shots and to Jordan Pickford for making saves and the desire they defended with , but honestly , it is difficult to ask something else from the team . " Everton manager Sean Dyche added : " They were trying to cross it to force something , which shows how defensively solid we were . " |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It also does not exhibit either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'out of nothing' as a phrase indicating the creation of an opportunity from a lack of resources or starting point, which is unrelated to the construction in question.

Instead, it describes a situation where someone is accused of faking an injury to avoid work, but it does not involve a causer causing a causee to move out of or be prevented from an action denoted by a VP[-ing] predicate. The phrase 'get out of doing work' is more about avoiding an action rather than being caused to move out of or prevented from an action by another entity.

If that ballot is successful , more than 60 staff members could walk out in the first week of February next year , with the potential for more days of action to follow . School leaders say they are committed to maintaining positive relationships with staff but accused the NEU of failing to engage in ' meaningful discussions ' before launching its ballot . News of the union action has prompted a huge response from parents of children at the school , with many getting in touch with the ECHO to raise a range of concerns about how the school is being run , and others stating their support for the work of current headteacher Nabil Jamil , who they say is trying to turn things around at an underperforming establishment . ? Mr Jamil joined the school earlier this year as Gateacre began transitioning away from local authority control . It recently formally became part of the Northern Schools Trust , which also includes the North Liverpool Academy and Liverpool Life Sciences TUC . Prior to that transition being completed , previous headteacher Gareth Jones stepped down following a less than impressive Ofsted report , which deemed that the school required improvement . Mr Jamil has set about trying to turn the school around , but his methods have split opinion amongst parents . Several who got in touch with us questioned the methods of the headteacher around areas like discipline and communications and the impact this is having on pupils . The majority of parents we spoke to asked to remain anonymous as they have children currently enrolled at the school . One parent , who has two children currently attending the school and three others who have previously attended told us she will not be sending her youngest child to Gateacre . ? She said : " Things started to get worse over the past two years . The last headteacher left abruptly . The way the staff treat the kids is not right . My son was injured on school grounds and required hospital treatment including an operation . He has since been called a liar , told he 's faking his injury to get out of doing work , all this by teachers in front of other pupils . " He actually has to undergo another operation this month for the same injury . I have requested a meeting with the principal and I 'm still waiting months later . This academy has gone downhill very quickly . " Sarah Brown , 37 , said she did n't want her son to go to Gateacre but he went because his friends were also going . She described sending him to the school as " the worst decision I have ever made . " ? She said : " Subjects he loved when he started he hates .

We have been blown away by the approach and changes implemented and have full confidence in the direction of travel . " He added : " Gateacre School is providing my son with an enriched , vibrant , motivating and stimulating environment to learn and achieve and is having thoroughly enjoyable Gateacre School experience . I would recommend to parents of prospective future students providing the leadership are allowed to achieve their vision . " ? Another parent agreed , stating : " Mr Jamil has been instrumental in the short time he 's been there , in instilling much needed discipline , ' weeding ' out the troublemakers and offering support , empathy and advice to those students who really need it . The overall ethos of the school and its recent reputation were questionable , to say the least and it is fair to say Mr Jamil has taken on an enormous task in rebuilding the school 's once enviable reputation and popularity . He has tonnes of support . " Another parent added : " I think the new principal is doing all he can at the minute to change the school around , it will take time , he needs all parents and teachers to be on his side to make Gateacre a better place . Some teachers and parents do n't like change and I think this is where the problem lies .

Your motives and timing are highly questionable as is your decision not to engage in discussion with the trust or school at any stage prior to this ballot .

The issues at the heart of the dispute go back many months but our attempts to resolve them earlier -- notably at meetings held on 11 June and 8 October -- have proven fruitless . This ought to have been made known to you by the transferor but of course , you may want to investigate the background with the remaining members of the Senior Leadership Team from that time .

Regional officer Bora Oktas said : " Our members report a lack professional autonomy and a prevalent culture of fear and bullying . " He added : " Disciplinary sanctions are being issued without proper processes , and staff are often denied union representation . The Behaviour Policy is not being implemented by the Senior Leadership Team ( SLT ) of Northern Schools Trust which runs the school , leading to the workplace losing staff due to stress . " ? Karen Copsey , joint-assistant branch secretary of Liverpool NEU said staff members working at the school were at ' breaking point ' , adding that the current conditions were ' unacceptable . ' She added : " We demand immediate action to address these issues - we will not stand by while our members suffer .

We believe that constructive dialogue and collaboration are essential to ensuring the best possible outcomes for our students .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'get out of doing work' which is an intransitive use of 'get' with no NP object involved, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the transitive out of -ing construction.

If that ballot is successful , more than 60 staff members could walk out in the first week of February next year , with the potential for more days of action to follow . School leaders say they are committed to maintaining positive relationships with staff but accused the NEU of failing to engage in ' meaningful discussions ' before launching its ballot . News of the union action has prompted a huge response from parents of children at the school , with many getting in touch with the ECHO to raise a range of concerns about how the school is being run , and others stating their support for the work of current headteacher Nabil Jamil , who they say is trying to turn things around at an underperforming establishment . ? Mr Jamil joined the school earlier this year as Gateacre began transitioning away from local authority control . It recently formally became part of the Northern Schools Trust , which also includes the North Liverpool Academy and Liverpool Life Sciences TUC . Prior to that transition being completed , previous headteacher Gareth Jones stepped down following a less than impressive Ofsted report , which deemed that the school required improvement .

Families across the nation are being urged to snap up a substantial ? 1,331 cash windfall . The HM Revenue and Customs ( HMRC ) is encouraging new parents to apply for Child Benefit through its digital channels , which could mean processing their initial payment just in time to add some extra cheer to their baby 's first Christmas celebrations . Since the introduction of the online service , over a million claims have been made digitally , amounting to 87 percent of all new Child Benefit claims being handled via the web . Myrtle Lloyd , Director General for Customer Services at HMRC , said : " Having a baby is a busy and expensive time but claiming Child Benefit online or via the app means you 'll get cash in your bank account as soon as possible . Claim now and you could get your first payment in time for your baby 's first Christmas . " She also noted that claims can be backdated by up to three months and that payments are generally made every four weeks . Currently , families can claim ? 25.60 weekly for an eldest or only child , and ? 16.95 for any additional children , amounting to an annual sum of ? 1,331 and ? 881 respectively . After registering a newborn , one can commence the claims process online within mere 48 hours , and the first payout is often received in under one week . From April 2025 , these amounts will see a 1.7 per cent increase due to inflation , adjusting them to ? 26.05 and ? 17.25 each week , respectively . To start , parents need to create an online account for HMRC services , reports Birmingham Live . They 'll require the child 's birth or adoption certificate , bank details , their own and their partner 's National Insurance number , and the child 's passport or travel document if they were born outside the UK . If either parent earns between ? 60,000 and ? 80,000 , the higher earner will be subject to the High Income Child Benefit Charge . An online Child Benefit tax calculator can provide an estimate of the benefit they 'll receive and what the charge might be . If families claimed Child Benefit before April 6 , 2024 , and the higher earner had an individual income of over ? 50,000 , they may have to pay the tax charge for 2023 to 2024 . In this case , registration for Self Assessment is necessary . HMRC states that those who were subject to the high-income charge when the threshold was ? 50,000 and opted out of receiving any payments rather than repaying it via the tax system can restart their Child Benefit payments online or through the app . Child Benefit claimants receive National Insurance credits that count towards their eligibility for the State Pension . According to HMRC , this can assist individuals who are not in paid employment and do not receive NI credits through their employer or other routes such as Universal Credit . An individual living in a household impacted by the High Income Child Benefit Charge will remain eligible for NI credits if they claim Child Benefit but opt not to receive payments . Claiming Child Benefit also guarantees that the child automatically gets a National Insurance number when they reach 16 .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee and does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'out of doing just that' seems to describe the means or source of Nigel Farage's career, not a causative action with a causee.

Hands up if you 'd rather be doing anything rather than voting for an 11-year-old youth mayor Why ? Well , apparently it will encourage young people to engage in local politics through the election process and their communities . All well and good , but I 'd be absolutely flabbergasted if it does . It is , after all , hard enough to engage adults , let alone children who , frankly , should be focusing on more frivolous activities when they 're that age . They 're kids after all . What are they likely to be campaigning for ? Cheaper sweets , improved swings in the local park or the removal of any sign in a residential area which bears the legend ' no ball games ' ? I do n't mean to be patronising in saying that , but there 's a limit to what they 're going to be interested in at that age . By the time they realise the glacial-like progress of change via any local authority or the chronic lack of cash available to it , they 'll be more likely to be turned off the whole idea . Would voting for a mayor ignite a community passion and interest in local politics for children ? Does anyone else remember when then-Police and Crime Commissioner Ann Barnes appointed a youth PCC ? Look it up if you do n't remember , but it was one of the great political own goals ever scored by an elected officer in the county . And I liked Ann . Now , do n't get me wrong , I 'm not suggesting the concept is completely flawed . I grew up in a politically active household and had strong views at an early age . But if someone had said there 's a youth council to vote for , with almost zero power available to them , I would have considered it a somewhat patronising nod to try and win political favour . When I was a Year 6 pupil ( or in the fourth year at primary school as we used to describe it ) , my main focus was on Panini football stickers , conkers , riding around with my mates on our bikes and pop music . I was not in the least bit interested in the workings of my local council . And , frankly , I 'd be somewhat questioning myself if I did . Plus , when , in 1987 it must have been , we had a mock election at my secondary school to coincide with the real thing , the Bring A Bottle Party ( see what they did there ? ) won . I 've no idea what they stood for , but it was probably based on a manifesto of no more school uniforms and a reduction to the school day . The role of mayor is largely ceremonial - so what 's the point of a youth one ? What it did n't spark was any form of serious political discourse -- just some daft theories which would capture the popular vote for those folk who do n't want to think key issues through . Mind you , Nigel Farage has made a career out of doing just that , so what do I know ? |

" Having sat for hours watching them put together their creations , I found myself picking up bricks while they were playing , but Lego is very different to how it was when I was growing up . Rather than freestyling , it 's all about an instruction book that helps you build these amazing creations . " Narin continued : " I ended up taking the plunge one Christmas when my husband bought me some Lego flowers to build and since then I 've amassed quite a collection . Not only is it relaxing and satisfying to do but it 's lovely to sit with my children while they 're building their sets and work on my own . " Discovering the new Lego sets this Christmas that allow us all to get our own bags/instruction manuals to work independently on one big set has been an absolute game-changer .

The product itself is quality and the directions were easy to follow . The bright colours and characters make this a great toy . " Lego 's Rocket & Baby Groot set ( Image : Lego ) Marvel fans will get so much joy out of building Rocket and his trusty sidekick Baby Groot .

A Lego review reads : " My eight-year-old and five-year-old put this together and said it was a bit more difficult than building the TIE fighter , but not too hard for them to do without help .

" Lego 's Disney Pixar Up House set ( Image : Lego ) Bring Carl Fredricksen 's colourful home from the film Up to life with this 598-piece Lego set .

A Lego review reads : " We loved that this set comes as four mini play sets , each with their own easy to follow instruction guide . This meant my seven-year-old could build and start playing much more quickly than usual Lego big builds which can take time and be frustrating for a younger audience . It does contain a fair few smaller bricks , so adult help was still needed .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It uses the intransitive verb 'come' with no NP object and the phrase 'out of sharing a space...' does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

A team of volunteers at The Rainbow Foundation will host a festive meal and gift-giving for lonely people this Christmas Day . Pictured is social prescriber Jo Hammond , who said the team looks forward to the ' intergenerational connections ' expected ( Image : Supplied ) The Rainbow Foundation has announced that its doors will be open on Christmas Day . The charity shared that a team of volunteers , consisting of staff and community members , will operate on December 25 to support clients across its services . Older people , alongside clients from the charity 's Social Prescribing service - all of whom are facing Christmas alone - will be supported . The volunteer team 's efforts will include collecting anyone with mobility and transport issues , before cooking a festive meal . Social prescriber Jo Hammond said : " Many people are on their own through the festive season , having a microwave meal for one rather than a Christmas dinner with loved ones . " Loneliness really impacts mental health , and that 's heightened at Christmas when the focus is on family . " Loneliness is a greedy emotion which can transfer and affect anyone at any time . " We wanted to be inclusive to all , to ensure all clients have someone , and somewhere to turn , during what can be a challenging time . " We are also looking forward to the intergenerational connections which may come out of sharing a space filled with kindness , warmth , food , and gifts . " Ms Hammond , alongside other members of the volunteering team , will be serving a full Christmas dinner " with all the trimmings , " and exchanging gifts that have been donated by the community . She added : " I 'm so thankful to everyone who is coming together to make sure this will be a Christmas to remember for all the people who are joining us . " It 's a real team effort from everyone involved , from the Rainbow elves wrapping the gifts , to our chef Michelle who is leaving her own family on Christmas Day to cook our dinner .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'get enough out of selling Assad down the river', where 'selling Assad down the river' is a gerund phrase acting as the object of the preposition 'out of', not a VP2[-ing] predicate with a causee. Additionally, there is no clear movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, and the NP object 'enough' does not function as a causee.

FALLEN Syrian dictator Bashar Assad may not be as safe as he thinks in his new sanctuary , experts warned last night . The overthrown war criminal - dubbed the " butcher of Syria " after mass killings , chemical weapons attacks and ethnic cleansing campaigns - was whisked to Russia last week as forces belonging to the militant Haya al-Kashir al-Sham group ( HTS ) closed in on Damascus . " Right now , Assad is a Russian chip that could possibly serve in future , particularly when it comes to negotiations with the Syrian government regarding the status of Russian forces in Syria , ' said regional expert Megan Sutcliffe . " But the moment he becomes more of a liability to them , he will be in substantial danger . " A former doctor who trained in London to become an ophthalmologist , Assad boasts a personal fortune of ? 1.5bn in offshore accounts and shell corporations , and already owns 18 apartments in Moscow 's sleek skyscraper district . But although he was once famously pictured embracing Putin at the Bocharov Ruchey State residence in Sochi , the Kremlin has let it be known that it was Assad who begged for sanctuary in those final days . There have been no public displays of affection between Putin and Assad this time . Indeed , the Russian premier pulled no punches by making it clear that , unlike Assad 's forces which failed to resist the insurgents , Russia 's troops would not be defeated . But the fall of the Assad regime presents a problem for Putin , who had deployed thousands of troops to Syria in 2015 to help the dictator hang on to power amid a civil war . Putin 's support was never unconditional . In return for it , Assad granted Russia almost 50-year long leases on key military bases , including the Khmeimim air base and the strategically vital naval base in Tartus , Satellite images on Monday revealed that five Russian warships , including three frigates and at least one submarine , which had been stationed at the base just days before , had already abandoned it . The loss of that base means the loss of Russia 's only maritime logistical hub in the Mediterranean , which will severely impact the Kremlin 's power projection capabilities in the greater Middle East and the African continent . Last night Moscow was locked in feverish negotiations with HTS to maintain its military presence in Syria . While some sources in Turkey maintained a deal was close , both HTS and Kremlin officials refused to comment , with other sources maintaining that any understanding " could still change amid the instability in Syria " . As an International pariah , Assad 's options for sanctuary were limited to Iran or Russia . His choice is said to have been made because of Assad 's personal secularism and his belief that Putin can better protect his family from extradition or any other attempts by the international community to bring him to justice . Much like former Ukraine president Viktor Yanukovych , who lives in luxury in an salubrious Moscow suburb since his ousting during the 2014 Maidan Revolution , Assad is expected to lead a sheltered but comfortable life within the gates of a private estate heavily guarded by security - as long as Putin remains in charge .

" While it is unlikely that Putin would ever agree to a formal handover , other solutions may present themselves in Russia , where the defenestration of state challengers has become commonplace .

But I doubt that they will send him back to Syria . |

Donald Trump probably will not be able to fulfill his stated aim of ending birthright citizenship in the US when he returns to the White House , but it is perhaps more conceivable than during his first term , according to legal experts . The US constitution guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the country , even if they are the children of undocumented immigrants . The president-elect said he would eliminate that right during his first term and again recently said during a television interview that he planned to and could use an executive action or would " maybe have to go back to the people " . The aim comes at the same time as Trump plans to carry out mass deportation of millions of undocumented immigrants during his second term -- an ambition that has civil liberties groups and many Democrats bracing for economic and legal chaos and protests . But if Trump were to try to use executive action to eliminate birthright citizenship , courts would probably strike it down because of language contained in the 14th amendment , according to scholars . Still , given the conservative majority on the supreme court -- and fact that one of the people considered a candidate for the court has argued that the provision does not apply to children of " invading aliens " -- it 's not a certainty that birthright citizenship will remain in place , said Amanda Frost , a University of Virginia law professor and expert in immigration and citizenship law . " At the end of his last presidency , if I was asked , ' Is this something he can do ? ' I would have said , ' It 's never going to happen ; it 's just a talking point , ' " Frost said . " The constitution text and the judicial precedent and very long-standing practice and the purpose of the provision all say , ' No , ' but at the end of the day , the constitution means what five members of the supreme court say it means . " Birthright citizenship dates to the passage of the 14th amendment in 1868 in the wake of the American civil war and it was intended to repeal the Dred Scott decision , in which the supreme court held that enslaved people were not citizens of the US . The amendment declared that all " persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof , are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside " . " This is not something that is subject to unilateral executive order , " said Andrew Rudalevige , a Bowdoin College professor who studies the American presidency and wrote a book on the limits of presidential power . " The language of the 14th amendment is pretty clear . " But in 2018 , Trump said that he could -- and would -- use an executive order to end the right to citizenship for children born in the United States to non-citizens . He also has said inaccurately that the US was the only country that allowed birthright citizenship , when in fact many countries provide the same right . " We 're the only country in the world where a person comes in , has a baby , and the baby is essentially a citizen of the United States for 85 years with all of those benefits . It 's ridiculous . It 's ridiculous and it has to end , " Trump said during an interview on HBO . Then Trump said recently on Meet the Press that he did not take the executive action during his first term because he had to " fix Covid first " but that he would do so on the first day of his new administration . Supporters of eliminating birthright citizenship have argued that the " jurisdiction " language could exclude children of undocumented immigrants . " Congress has the power to define what it means to be born in the United States ' and subject to the jurisdiction thereof ' , " the Republican Utah senator Mike Lee posted on X. " While current law contains no such restriction , Congress could pass a law defining what it means to be born in the United States ' and subject to the jurisdiction thereof , ' excluding prospectively from birthright citizenship individuals born in the U.S. to illegal aliens . " Adam Winkler , a law professor at UCLA , said there was no " legal understanding of the term jurisdiction " to support the argument that " undocumented immigrants are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States . " The government has power over them . That is what we mean by jurisdiction , " Winkler said . " If conservatives are willing to say that undocumented immigrants can never be jailed for a crime , maybe they can start to get somewhere . But I do n't think that 's a conclusion that they really want to reach . " James Ho , a US fifth circuit judge and Trump appointee , who some have speculated could be appointed to the supreme court should there be an opening , recently told Reason magazine that no one " has ever argued that the children of invading aliens are entitled to birthright citizenship " . He previously offered the opposite opinion , writing : " Birthright citizenship is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment . That birthright is protected no less for children of undocumented persons than for descendants of Mayflower passengers . " While Frost thinks it 's unlikely the supreme court would overturn birthright citizenship , she pointed out that the court can be swayed by public sentiment . For example , in 1986 , the supreme court ruled that the 14th amendment did not prevent states from criminalizing private sexual conduct involving same-sex couples . Then in 2003 , the court overturned that decision and declared all sodomy laws unconstitutional . " The way constitutional change generally happens is an accumulation of various voices supporting that change and public opinion , " Frost said . Trump did not clarify what he meant when he said that to eliminate birthright citizenship , he would " maybe have to go back to the people " . But to amend the constitution , which has not happened since 1992 , the amendment would have to be proposed either by Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called by two-thirds of the state legislatures . Then the legislatures of three-fourths of the states would need to ratify it . " It 's quite a procedural barrier , in terms of getting a super majority in Congress , getting a super-majority of states to sign off on it , " Rudalevige said . " It 's a pretty high bar . " But for Trump , even if he is unable to muster the support for a constitutional amendment or if the court struck down an executive order , he could conclude " that he gets value out of fighting , out of showing that he is trying to change the established way of doing business , even if he is incorrect on the merits " , Rudalevige said . In the unlikely event that Trump eliminates birthright citizenship , that change would hurt the country , the scholars said . " The 14th amendment was intended to end caste in America , the idea that there is a lower class , a sub class , that lives among us , " Frost said . " This could bring that back . " |

" While current law contains no such restriction , Congress could pass a law defining what it means to be born in the United States ' and subject to the jurisdiction thereof , ' excluding prospectively from birthright citizenship individuals born in the U.S. to illegal aliens . " Adam Winkler , a law professor at UCLA , said there was no " legal understanding of the term jurisdiction " to support the argument that " undocumented immigrants are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States . " The government has power over them . That is what we mean by jurisdiction , " Winkler said . " If conservatives are willing to say that undocumented immigrants can never be jailed for a crime , maybe they can start to get somewhere . But I do n't think that 's a conclusion that they really want to reach . " James Ho , a US fifth circuit judge and Trump appointee , who some have speculated could be appointed to the supreme court should there be an opening , recently told Reason magazine that no one " has ever argued that the children of invading aliens are entitled to birthright citizenship " . He previously offered the opposite opinion , writing : " Birthright citizenship is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment . That birthright is protected no less for children of undocumented persons than for descendants of Mayflower passengers . " While Frost thinks it 's unlikely the supreme court would overturn birthright citizenship , she pointed out that the court can be swayed by public sentiment . For example , in 1986 , the supreme court ruled that the 14th amendment did not prevent states from criminalizing private sexual conduct involving same-sex couples . Then in 2003 , the court overturned that decision and declared all sodomy laws unconstitutional . " The way constitutional change generally happens is an accumulation of various voices supporting that change and public opinion , " Frost said . Trump did not clarify what he meant when he said that to eliminate birthright citizenship , he would " maybe have to go back to the people " . But to amend the constitution , which has not happened since 1992 , the amendment would have to be proposed either by Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called by two-thirds of the state legislatures . Then the legislatures of three-fourths of the states would need to ratify it . " It 's quite a procedural barrier , in terms of getting a super majority in Congress , getting a super-majority of states to sign off on it , " Rudalevige said . " It 's a pretty high bar . " But for Trump , even if he is unable to muster the support for a constitutional amendment or if the court struck down an executive order , he could conclude " that he gets value out of fighting , out of showing that he is trying to change the established way of doing business , even if he is incorrect on the merits " , Rudalevige said . In the unlikely event that Trump eliminates birthright citizenship , that change would hurt the country , the scholars said . " The 14th amendment was intended to end caste in America , the idea that there is a lower class , a sub class , that lives among us , " Frost said . " This could bring that back . " |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate with 'landlords and vulture funds' as the NP subject, 'locking' as V1, 'ordinary people' as the NP object, and 'out of housing' as the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the action of locking prevents ordinary people from accessing housing. This aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The cost of healthcare is the single biggest reason why US citizens file for bankruptcy . According to the American Bankruptcy Institute , some 67 per cent of bankrupts , or more than half a million Americans a year , cite medical bills as the primary cause of their financial ruin . There is nothing caring about the American health insurance industry , which seems to exist primarily to enrich its executives and shareholders to obscene degrees and make massive political donations to those parties most likely to maintain the status quo . Just recently United Healthcare , already the company with the highest rate of refused claims , had almost doubled its rate of denials by instructing human claims reviewers to adhere more closely to algorithmic recommendations , prioritising profit over care . If computer said no , the flesh-and-blood " unit " reviewing the claim might not apply nuance , context or compassion to say yes . Untold millions of Americans have suffered pain , torment and unnecessary death as health insurance companies fatten on the spoils of their misery , promoting and enriching the executives overseeing ever more ingenious means of denying sick people the cover for which they have paid dearly . For example , another healthcare company recently announced that it would no longer pay for " anaesthesia care " , when the duration of the patient 's surgery went beyond an arbitrary time limit . Curiously enough , Anthem Blue Cross reversed this decision after Brian Thompson , United Healthcare 's chief executive , was gunned down in Manhattan and the scattered bullet casings intoned the industry 's apparent motto : " Deny , delay , depose . " In the excellent recent reboot of Frederick Forsyth 's The Day of the Jackal , the hitman 's target is a good-guy tech genius called Ulle Dag Charles ( almost an anagram of the novel 's original target , Charles de Gaulle ) who wants to release an algorithm that will make all dark financial transactions public . And yet watching the Jackal stalk him , I was a bit taken aback to realise I was rooting for the assassin rather than the brave entrepreneur . And so whenever the true crime mini-series gets made , I 'm pretty sure I 'll also be rooting for the lead , perhaps Timoth ? e Chalamet , as he stalks Brian Thompson through the pre-dawn Manhattan streets . Millions of people , both in the United States and worldwide , are already hailing the real-life Luigi Mangione as a folk hero . It does n't hurt that the so-called hot assassin is strikingly handsome , a 26-year-old Ivy League graduate from a prominent Italian-American family reportedly far wealthier than his ? 10 million-a-year victim . Donations for his defence are flooding in , a whole merchandising strand has monetised his name and image , and ordinary , law-abiding Americans are posting TikTok videos lionising him as a brave " equaliser " and recounting their own health insurance horror stories . High-profile criminals have always occupied their own niche within celebrity culture . The likes of the Menendez brothers , the two chiselled young men who shot dead their wealthy parents ; Jeremy Bamber , who also slaughtered his family ; and even Ian Huntley , the Soham child killer , still get bundles of fan mail from star-struck women . In 2015 a Russian woman claimed to have fallen in love with Graham Dwyer after visiting the convicted murderer in prison . Couple that cachet , and Mangione 's good looks , with the sort of Robin Hood mythology that almost propelled Gerry Hutch into the Dail and you can see why a cold-blooded murder has become such a polarising topic in the States . Thompson was a husband and father , but he was also the avatar of a rapacious industry with the blood of countless vulnerable people on its hands . In Mangione 's manifesto , found in his abandoned backpack along with a bundle of Monopoly money , he said he planned to " wack the CEO at the annual parasitic bean counter convention -- it 's targeted , precise and does n't risk innocents " . Tellingly , the investors ' meeting Thompson had been set to attend went ahead while his blood still stained the street outside . Daring outlaws targeting only the greedy rich have always been glamorous figures , and the fact that Mangione allegedly struck at the hated health insurance business made his celebrity inevitable . It might have been less intense if he were n't also easy on the eye , or if he had n't literally dropped his mask to flirt , in true Italian style , with a hostel receptionist on his way to murder Thompson . But his heroism in the eyes of so many is undoubtedly due to the fact that he is seen as an avenging angel , punishing the persecutors of vulnerable people when the institutions of the state have repeatedly failed to deliver redress . That same sense of frustration , rage and powerlessness in the face of indifferent officialdom was definitely an element of Hutch 's appeal . Whether it 's grasping landlords and vulture funds locking ordinary people out of housing , or health insurance automatons denying patients cover so as to line their own pockets , a lone vigilante embodies the individual 's unequal struggle against cruel and uncaring authority . An anti-hero is sometimes better than no hero at all . Mangione 's astonishing popular acclaim , even more than the fact of Thompson 's murder , ought to be the wake-up call that the US healthcare industry needs . The story goes that Alfred Nobel , inventor of dynamite , got to read his own obituary when a newspaper published it by mistake after his brother died . It described him as a " merchant of death " who had made a fortune maiming and killing . Horrified to see how he was viewed , he devoted his wealth to creating the Nobel peace prize , so as to amend his legacy . So far , however , the only apparent response of America 's big corporations to this grim insight into their public perception has been to advertise for additional armed security personnel to guard their chief executives . Earlier this month , the Criminal Assets Bureau auctioned off an impressive collection of luxury and designer goods it had liberated from its reluctant clients . The assortment offered a fascinating insight into the tastes of the criminal classes , particularly their womenfolk , and there was no getting away from the fact that they like their expensive bling . Glittering Jimmy Choo stilettos , Manolo Blahnik pumps with bejewelled buckles , and Rolex watches encrusted with pink and white diamonds were among the items up for grabs , along with some more restrained investment pieces like a Herm ? s Birkin bag -- for which there are lengthy waiting lists in mainstream outlets -- and classic Chanel evening clutches . The estimated value of the haul was reported to be in the region of half a million euros , but in the event it raised just ? 400,000 , suggesting that canny bidders , with few reservations about the origin of the goods , might have nabbed genuine bargains . However , the same ca n't be said about the purchaser of the former home of drug trafficker Daniel Kinahan , who paid considerably more than the reserve for the large mansion in west Dublin last week . The guide price for the 3,410 sq ft property was ? 550,000 , but it was knocked down for ? 930,000 after an online bidding war . The estimated value may have been understated , in the expectation that potential purchasers might have been afraid to acquire a property which had clearly been lovingly designed and decorated by its previous owner , on the reasonable assumption that he might have been less than happy to lose it . It 's one thing buying a piece of jewellery or a pair of shoes , after all , in the reasonable certainty that a disgruntled dispossessed owner would be unlikely to recognise the item , but it is somewhat harder to conceal your acquisition of a family home . Still , at least the new owners of the Coldwater Lakes property can probably expect that its security features are top of the range . |

Every day feels like Christmas at Kett 's Books . For staff working here , unpacking the deliveries of books never loses its thrill , introducing customers to new authors is a treat , and being at the centre of the community is like being in one big family . What 's more the fire is lit in the woodburner , there 's bunting strewn across the bookcases , fairy lights are twinkling and there are trees in the bay windows . There 's always a sense of celebration . ' It 's a very optimistic place , ' says Gordon Chase , a retired banker who volunteers in the bookshop one day a week . ' There 's a real buzz . And you can see people start to relax as soon as they walk through the door . ' It 's clear that the residents of Wymondham are delighted not only to have a bookshop in the town , but one that is so beautifully presented , with space to sit and chat , and to host author visits and book groups . The exterior of Kett 's Books . Photo : Kett 's Books ' Having a vibrant bookshop at the heart of Wymondham sends a hugely positive message to the community and visitors alike , ' says one in a recent bookshop survey . ' It shows that the town values reading and books . ' And the management of Kett 's Books is such that this is much more than a shop . It is a Community Interest Company owned and run by the people it serves , with any profits used for the benefit of Wymondham and the surrounding area . ' There has been a bookshop in the town for as long as anyone can remember , ' says Tracy Kenny , co-founder and managing director of Kett 's Books . So when in 2013 it looked like that would be coming to an end , a group of customers , led by Tracy and her colleague Ray Rumsby , decided they had to save it . Tracy Kenny . ( Image : Catherine Larner ) Eight weeks after first meeting together in a pub , the 16 strangers had raised funding , created the CIC , formed a Friends group , come up with a name and designed a logo . ' We recognised that with all our strengths and experiences we could have a go at running a bookshop as a group of volunteers , ' says Tracy . They took over the old bookshop premises in Wharton 's Court for almost 10 years , but in September 2023 realised that they needed somewhere larger and more prominent in the town . ' Particularly after lockdown we realised that we wanted to be able to reach more customers and to offer more activities , ' says Tracy . ' We wanted to offer more space to browse , more events , and more volunteering opportunities . ' The interior of Kett 's Books .

So with help from the Friends of Kett 's Books , South Norfolk District Council , the Norwich Freemens Charity , the Booksellers Association , and this year , completing the purchase , the government Community Ownership Fund , plus lots of hard work from volunteers , they transformed the large double-fronted , red brick building into a vibrant and welcoming bookshop . ' The bookshop was designed by Jack Kinsey , a finalist on BBC1 's Interior Design Masters and who lives nearby , ' says Tracy . ' We could n't be happier with what he created . His design is perfect for the building and reflects Wymondham and its history . ' Not least because there are two trees inside the shop , as well as stunning murals of tree canopies on the ceiling . The fireplace at Kett 's Books . ( Image : Catherine Larner ) ' There was a beautiful tree in the courtyard outside the old shop , and it features in our logo and in the choice of our name , ' says Tracy . ' I told Jack how I wished we could bring the tree with us . And he said he could give us a tree . ' An oak leaf features as the bookshop 's logo and the business is named after the 16th century local landowner , Robert Kett who famously , under an oak tree near Wymondham , led an uprising against the government enclosing the common land . Kett had torn down his fences and sacrificed all that he had to lead the revolt by the people of Wymondham . Ultimately he and 16,000 rebels stormed Norwich , defeating troops sent by the government to stop them . But Kett was captured , tried for treason and hanged from Norwich Castle . The children 's section at Kett 's Books .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a general benefit derived from an action, not a causative scenario.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'ruled out of racing' involves 'racing' as a noun modified by 'out of', not as a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The Filament FX is an interesting bike with a story to tell ; this carbon-fibre epoxy composite frame is made by hand in the UK , creator Richard Craddock saying that it was inspired by " the maverick frame designs of the 1990s " , but it 's designed for use with modern features , like disc brakes , thru-axles , internal brake lines , and tyres up to 32mm wide . Wow ! There 's a lot to unpack here . This is a very unusual bike ; not the sort of thing you 're going to see in the window of your local Halfords . Let 's start at the beginning ... Filament says that the FX takes its inspiration from Graeme Obree , Corima Fox , Trimble , Alpinestars , Hotta , Lotus , Metron , and others who explored alternative frame designs . The vast majority of bikes are built around ' double-triangle ' designs : a front triangle ( which usually is n't actually a triangle ) formed by the top tube , seat tube , down tube and head tube , and a rear triangle ( in fact , usually two of them ) comprising the seat tube , seatstays , and chainstays . There have been many exceptions , though , such as Graeme Obree 's Old Faithful , which he rode to massive success in the 1990s , and many carbon-fibre monocoque frames , such as the Lotus and Hotta bikes ridden by the likes of Chris Boardman . The UCI eventually brought in rules to outlaw non-double-triangle frames for racing , but not before many people had experimented with unorthodox designs . It 's these bikes that Filament is thinking of with the design of the FX . You 'll notice right away that the FX lacks a down tube and chainstays . Instead , the frame is built around a central strut that is effectively a top tube and head tube combined , and this runs into the seatstays , with a seat tube ( of sorts ) extending up and down from the middle . It 's a long way from conventional . Essentially , Filament has reduced the number of frame elements . Why ? For a clean look and a smooth ride quality , it says . " It 's an exploration of some of the alternative frame designs we saw in the 1990s before they were ruled out of racing by the UCI , " says Richard Craddock . " This particular creation is inspired by Graeme Obree 's bikes , including the paint choice . " The intention is to increase the comfort of the ride , with more vertical compliance to smooth the bumps . " Richard says that building a frame without these usual elements presents challenges in terms of managing the load paths and maintaining enough vertical stiffness . Gear cabling is also an issue on a bike of this kind , so wireless shifting is ideal . The Filament FX is made from carbon fibre epoxy composite with a structural internal core . That core is a material called Rohacell , which is a polymethacrylimide-based structural foam . " The core makes it much more resistant to crush forces compared to being hollow , so accidental damage is reduced , " says Richard . " It also increases stiffness . " Each FX is custom-made by hand in the Filament workshop in Bromsgrove , Worcestershire . Richard has been making frames for the past 12 years after working for other companies and manufacturers in the bike industry . " The rigid core material is cut and shaped , then the prepreg carbon is wrapped over , " he says . " The core supports the skin and distributes the forces as with the lattice structure used in 3D-printed metal parts . " A Filament FX frameset ( frame , fork , headset and seat collar ) is priced at ? 6,000 . Filament also sells full bikes ; it offers an individual service . The Filament range also features more traditional-looking frames for road , gravel , time trial and track , plus tandems . The designs are diverse although they 're all available in custom geometries with custom paint finishes . We 've noticed you 're using an ad blocker .

Former couple Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury raised eyebrows over the weekend as they reunited for a cosy family day out - but what 's really going on ? Once the darlings of the reality TV world , the Love Island favourites shocked fans in August when they announced the end of their engagement - just over a year on from welcoming their first child into the world together . Rumours quickly swirled in the wake of their split , with some accusing boxer Tommy of cheating . The exes , who met on the ITV2 dating series in 2019 , looked comfortable in each other 's company as they took daughter Bambi , 23 months , to a soft play venue . While the pair arrived in matching , yet separate , ? 200K Mercedes , both plush vehicles headed back to their former shared ? 4M mansion , which Tommy moved out of following their split . But fans hoping a romantic reunion is on the cards for the pair should n't get to excited . Leading body language expert Judi James claims the recent snaps of exes Molly-Mae and Tommy was more of a " tense co-parenting event " rather than the start of a reconciliation . " Although I 've always claimed a reunion could be on the cards for these two , their look on this outing seems to sadly signal it wo n't be any time soon , " Judi explains . " This looks like a tense , possibly stressed co-parenting event with no body language signals in these poses of any form of togetherness . " She continues : " Molly-Mae could have been indulging in some female peacocking , dressed for the camera and lingering close to her daughter to smile and play and create affectionate proximity with Tommy for some family poses . She could have carried Tommy 's mug rather than let him carry both drink and child , but instead she 's walked off ahead with a dour expression and her hands tucked into the sleeves of her huge jacket . ' The signals here are that Tommy might still be in graft mode ' ( Image : ZENPIX LTD ) " She looks like she is dressed for practicality and comfort in her baggy joggers , slippers and ponytail . Tommy looks smarter , as though he might have been dressed to impress , but that only seems to make the emotional distance between them even greater . The fans would love a romantic Christmas ending for these two but the signals here are that Tommy might still be in ' graft ' mode . " Molly-Mae and Tommy 's brief reunion comes as it 's revealed a new Prime Video series fronted by the Instagram influencer will look at the influencer 's life after her split from the father of her daughter . The new six-part show will give " unprecedented access " to Molly-Mae 's life and focus on her " journey after her highly publicised break-up " , as well as raising her daughter and launching the clothing brand Maebe . Prime Video promises it will be " raw , real and redefining what it means to thrive under intense public scrutiny " . Hannah Blyth , head of TV at Prime Video UK , said : " This year has been a transformative one for Molly , and we 're thrilled to offer Prime Video audiences exclusive , intimate access to her daily life and exciting new ventures through this series . Molly is a true powerhouse and her authenticity , resilience and strength will undoubtedly resonate with viewers as she opens up like never before . " Molly-Mae and boxer Tomm , both 25 , who were the runners-up on Love Island season five , got engaged in July 2023 . The pair featured in 2023 Netflix documentary At Home With The Furys , which centred on Fury 's half brother , boxer Tyson Fury , and his family . The first three episodes of the new show will air on January 17 , with the rest following in spring . |

A man who was attacked by two great white sharks when he was still in his teens says that the experienced changed his life for the better . Shannon Ainslie was already a keen surfer at 15 and he says he and his brothers spent " most of our time in the ocean . " Shannon said the morning of the attack was just another quiet day at the " surfer 's paradise " of Nahoon Reef in East London , South Africa . He recalled : " Oddly , I remember the smell of sardines in the air . Other surfers began paddling back to shore , but I stayed in the lineup , alone and unaware of the danger closing in on me . " Suddenly , bam ! I got struck by a four-metre great white shark from the left . It flipped me around and dragged me underwater with it . While that was happening , another shark hit my right side , but missed me because the first shark got me first . It all happened so quickly - I thought I was dreaming . " The huge shark bite on Shannon 's surfboard ( Image : Shannon Ainslie/Cover Images ) Shannon felt strangely calm as the massive ocean predator bit down on his arm and dragged him underwater . He continued : " When I was finally able to catch a breath of air , I looked at my hand and saw my fingers hanging off , my pinkie and ring fingers barely attached by the skin . There was a big bite on my hand , and blood was just rushing out . " Despite being grievously injured , Shannon started paddling back towards the shore . " I was 100 metres out at sea , with two sharks gunning after me . That 's when the fear set in , " he added . " I had heard the stories : sharks going back for a second and third time to finish a surfer off . I was shaking , crying , and panicking . It was the scariest moment and the worst feeling ever , knowing that you were going to get eaten . " Luck was on Shannon 's side that day , though , and a huge wave pushed him back towards the shore . Despite his severe injuries , Shannon says the experience was hugely positive . " Before the attack , I was an angry , depressed kid struggling with low self-esteem , even to the point of considering suicide , " he added . The attack was caught on camera Shannon was hooked on surfing from his first day on a board ( Image : **28;1536;TOOLONG ) " But during the attack , I prayed for safety in the water and felt that Jesus was protecting me . Later , in the hospital , I prayed again - this time asking Jesus to help me overcome my ' internal shark attacks ' like anger , depression , low self-esteem , and suicidal thoughts . " He did , and from that day forward , I experienced a profound sense of peace , joy , hope , and a renewed purpose in life . That was the most powerful healing I 've ever experienced . " Incredibly , he was surfing again just six weeks after the attack . These days he lives in Norway , where encounters with great whites are a lot less likely . He joked : " Maybe it was a calculated move to somewhere less sharky . But even in the Arctic , I have n't left the waves behind . " I continue to surf and have made a career out of coaching others in the sport . Beyond coaching , I 'm also deeply committed to raising awareness about shark conservation . On my Instagram and TikTok channels , I regularly talk about the critical role sharks play in our oceans . These incredible creatures are often misunderstood , but they 're truly beautiful animals that deserve our respect and protection . " |

Prince Andrew has pulled out of joining the Royal Family for Christmas at Sandringham after being publicly urged ' to do the decent thing ' . After discussing the issue with his ex-wife , Sarah , Duchess of York , the beleaguered duke made up his mind yesterday to give the annual celebrations in Norfolk a miss . There had been serious concern his presence would put the King , who is still undergoing cancer treatment , in an invidious position given the furore over his brother 's links with alleged Chinese spy , Yang Tengbo . The Mail understands that the Yorks ' children , Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie , had already opted to spend the season with their respective in-laws , having not had the chance to do so for several years , which made the decision a little easier . Last night it had not been officially confirmed whether Andrew would still attend a pre-Sandringham lunch thrown by the King at Buckingham Palace for up to 70 family members on Thursday . But there was a clear ' working assumption ' at the Palace that he would also recuse himself from that . The Mail revealed yesterday that Charles fervently hoped his brother might ' see sense ' and stay away , rather than force his hand in the wake of his latest scandal . It is understood that the King and Queen were quietly hoping that the Duchess of York might come to their rescue and ' talk some sense ' into her ex-husband , as one of the few people to still have his ear . Friends say that she was indeed instrumental in his decision . While many in royal circles believe the duke 's capitulation was , ultimately , the right decision in the circumstances , it also sets the seal on his public humiliation . Prince Andrew ( pictured on Christmas Day last year ) has pulled out of joining the Royal Family for Christmas at Sandringham after being publicly urged ' to do the decent thing ' Prince Andrew is photographed driving in his Range Rover today from Royal Lodge in Windsor Prince Andrew passes well-wishers after attending the Royal Family 's traditional Christmas Day service at St Mary Magdalene Church on the Sandringham Estate in eastern England It has led insiders to question whether he will ever appear with the family again in public outside of , say , weddings or funerals . The one thing other than his home ( and unusable HRH title ) that remains as a vestige of his former life is Andrew 's membership of the historic Order of the Garter , founded by Edward III in 1348 and inspired by the legendary knights of the round table . While it may sound an ancient and irrelevant frippery , it is still the country 's most historic order of chivalry , awarded by the sovereign in honour of exceptional and loyal service to the Crown or national life . And there is a growing swell of opinion given his repeated scandals that the duke should not only be barred from that too , but stripped of his membership as well . Just 40 members have been removed from the order in almost 700 years -- all for treason or heresy .

The highly anticipated walk by the royals to church on Christmas Day , which is a private family event rather than an official engagement , is one of the few times he is now permitted to join them publicly . Easter is another . ' I find it hard to imagine he will ever join them again in public , if I 'm honest , ' one source told the Mail yesterday .

' Sarah is tremendously loyal and I think it unlikely she will want to leave his side , especially now he is so down , ' a family friend added . It can be revealed that the King and Queen had made clear privately that they would consider it a blessing if Sarah -- known to them as ' Fergie ' -- were to persuade her ex-husband to ' see sense ' and tactfully withdraw from all imminent family gatherings . While the duchess has found herself at the centre of several royal scandals over the years , Charles and Camilla -- like Queen Elizabeth before them -- are ' very fond ' of her at heart . They admire her loyalty to both Andrew , and the monarchy , and have sympathy for her own recent cancer battles .

In an interview at the weekend , Sarah likened herself to being a ' carer for a sad man ' , and also spoke of her love for the King and his kindness towards her . It is clear Charles and his advisors are also rather hoping she might be able to persuade the duke to give up on his determination to keep on Royal Lodge . They have no legal right to evict him from the 30-room , ten-bedroom mansion he holds a ' cast iron ' lease on . But they are deeply concerned about how , now he is no longer a working royal and has been stripped by the King of both his security and annual allowance , he is able to afford it .

Nobody was better than Keely Hodgkinson over two laps of a running track in 2024 and here at Media City in Salford not even a teenage darts sensation with a penchant for doner kebabs could beat her to the BBC Sports Personality of the Year trophy . Hodgkinson is the fourth woman in succession to receive the prize , following on from Emma Raducanu , Beth Mead and Mary Earps . She finished ahead of Luke Littler in the public vote to complete a perfect year in which she claimed Olympic and European titles over 800m as well as a British record . It was the perfect evening too , with her husband-and-wife coaching team , Trevor Painter and Jenny Meadows , taking home the Coach of the Year award . " I am more excited for my coach , Trevor , because I would n't be where I am without his guidance that I 've had since I was 17 , " Hodgkinson said . Littler , 17 , was named Young Sports Personality of the Year before coming second in the voting for the top prize DAVID DAVIES/PA As the third-most searched person on Google in the UK , Littler was seen as the major threat to the golden girl of track and field . But a big internet presence did not translate to votes on this occasion , with the 17-year-old from Warrington again forced to settle for the same runner-up spot he secured at the PDC World Darts Championship . Instead his year will end with another bid for glory at Alexandra Palace and an appearance on a special Christmas edition of Bullseye . For the sporting purists , that probably comes as some relief . Littler is brilliant . A game-changer for darts . But if Spoty is meant to celebrate the pinnacle of British sporting achievement , there has been no one more deserving of the recognition than Hodgkinson . The Atherton-born 22-year-old won all nine of her 800m races in 2024 , culminating in the Olympic final in Paris . She was as dominant that night as she had been for the entire season , moving to the front after 300m , controlling the race for the next 400m and then seeing off her closest rivals with a tremendous burst of speed on the home straight . Root , the England cricketer , came third and was presented his consolation prize by team-mate Harry Brook in New Zealand BBC Sporting a black dress designed by KNWLS London in collaboration with her sponsors at Nike , Hodgkinson said before the show : " As a little girl , I dared to dream big . " That dream has become a glorious reality . Her latest moment of triumph was captured , rather curiously , by the BBC in slow motion . " I 'm actually a bit in shock , " she said when she finally arrived on the stage . Joe Root , England 's leading Test runscorer , finished third , while Littler had the consolation of claiming the Young Sports Personality of the Year award . " I know how big the sport has got , " he said . " It just goes to show how much I 've changed it . " As well as guiding Hodgkinson to glory , Painter and Meadows oversaw Georgia Bell 's remarkable rise from park runner to the Olympic podium with a bronze in the women 's 1500m as well as a 4x400m relay bronze for Lewis Davey . Astonishing , then , that UK Athletics has just cut their funding after having its own money cut by UK Sport . Painter and Meadows , the husband and wife coaching team , receive the Coach of the Year award from Dame Kelly Holmes , having helped Hodgkinson to gold and the rise of Bell PA " We are very proud , " Painter said . " It is exciting , the success we have had this year . In Paris We were walking around the stadium and we were like , ' This is like a sports day , it 's not supposed to be this easy . ' It was a surreal week . Everything went in our favour and every hope we had came off . We ca n't be any happier with the way the season has gone . " Meadows added : " I still have to pinch myself , to think Keely is 22 years of age and she has that Olympic title and four global medals in four successive years . It is pretty crazy but we see the work she puts in on a daily basis . She deserves this moment this evening . It is great to get another trophy in the cabinet . " Unsung Hero awardJean Paton ( volunteering work at sailing club in Hampshire ) What a night it was for Wigan . Wigan Warriors ' stadium is adjacent to where Hodgkinson does much of her training and they were voted the BBC 's Team of the Year , after winning rugby league 's quadruple of the World Club Challenge , Challenge Cup , League Leaders ' Shield and the Grand Final . Their head coach , Matt Peet , was in the press room when Painter was receiving his award . " Oh look , " he said looking at the television . " Trevor has won coach .

Afraid you might burst into tears when Gary Lineker signs off from presenting Match of the Day in May ? Then this was the show for you , a means of adjusting to life without the man with the most camera-friendly smile in football ( Alyson Rudd writes ) . Spoty was a Gaz-free zone which meant we were denied , or spared , any self-deprecating jokes and knowing winks down the lens . Instead , there was an all-female line-up of presenters . Which was fine because it should n't even be about the presenters but somehow , with the BBC , it always is . Maybe the future of broadcasting , just to be on the safe side , is the removal of men altogether . The show opened with a black-and-white montage , stressing the depth of effort of sport , and then , in Wizard of Oz style , punched into technicolour . It was very slick but we soon descended into the schmaltz that Spoty will never , ever shake . Logan , Balding and Scott formed the all-female presenting line-up LENSI PHOTOGRAPHY/SPLASH NEWS " Ladies and gentlemen , your class of 2024 , " proclaimed the actor David Harewood as a manicured and shiny-faced selection of sporting stars posed on the stage . Do you get a kick out of seeing sports stars swapping their shorts and tracksuits , sweat and mud for sparkling tuxedos and tight , silky evening dresses ? Then this is the show for you . I , however , find it uncomfortable viewing . No one ever gets it quite right and the athletes tend to look either like it 's the very first time they have had to navigate a strapless bra or have tried too hard to prove they could grace the cover of Vogue . " Sleep well on that flight , " Clare Balding said after asking the shortlisted Joe Root , who was in New Zealand , if he was coming home for Christmas which , if you were the England cricketer , would have sounded a little bit like Balding was not expecting to need to interview you again . Which she did n't . Chris Hoy , who revealed his terminal cancer diagnosis in October , takes to the Spoty stage during a Paris Olympics segment DAVID DAVIES/PA Gabby Logan enjoyed welcoming Luke " The Nuke " Littler to the virtual oche of the studio . He sat for his interview with his mum and dad , which seemed slightly unnecessary . The darts superstar is 17 going on a world-weary but wise 40 . But it turned out the interview sofa was used for all the nominees ' families , a nod to how you do n't win anything in sport without the sacrifice and/or pushiness of your parents . You can never be quite sure what the public will be moved by on the night so there is a mild sense of jeopardy , but Jude Bellingham hardly helped shift momentum as he was busy with Real Madrid on Intercontinental Cup preparation duty and no one watching even knew that was a thing , let alone something more important than being interviewed by Alex Scott . It feels compulsory for us to be shown grainy footage of the nominees strutting their stuff as toddlers although no one could outshine Littler chucking darts , accurately , the way most two-year-olds throw strained apple at the floor . Storey displays her flashy boot , having broken her ankle while in training to appear on Dancing on Ice LENSI PHOTOGRAPHY/SPLASHNEWS The hugely disappointing moment came when Scott asked Alex Yee about how even he had doubted he could clinch gold in the triathlon in Paris and did not quip , " Oh ye of little faith . " Ho hum . Dame Sarah Storey 's video was presented by her daughter , which was very sweet but perhaps too quirky although Storey made up for it by entering the studio , very slowly and dramatically , on crutches having broken her ankle a few weeks earlier . Would that be enough to defy the odds ? No . When Dorothy , aka , Logan , pulled back the curtain the winner was the serene Keely Hodgkinson , as Olympic afterglow trumped on-the-night gimmickry. |

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('more than 900,000 UK road users') + V1 ('have been priced') + NP object (implied by the passive construction) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('driving'). It also gives rise to a prevention interpretation, where the high car insurance costs have prevented the road users from driving. The verb 'priced' can be classified under the means of exerting force or pressure, metaphorically speaking, as it implies a financial barrier. The NP subject is an animate agent affected by an inanimate force (car insurance costs), and the construction is used in passive voice, which is acceptable for this construction. The NP object (implied 'them') functions as a causee who is prevented from participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'driving'. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Saudi Arabia has successfully extracted lithium from brine samples from national giant Aramco 's oilfields and plans to launch a commercial pilot programme for direct extraction soon , the Saudi vice minister of mining affairs said on Tuesday . Lithium Infinity , also known as Lihytech , a start-up launched out of King Abdullah University for Science and Technology , will lead the extraction project with cooperation from Saudi mining company Ma'aden and Aramco , Khalid al-Mudaifer told Reuters . " They are extracting lithium through their new technology they have developed in King Abdullah University for Science and Technology and they are in accelerated development in this regard , " he said . " They 're building a commercial pilot at the oil fields . So the brines that come out of the field will feed into this commercial pilot on a continuous basis , " added Al-Mudaifer . Lithium is a key component in the batteries of electric cars , laptops , and smartphones . Reuters previously revealed that Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates ' national oil companies planned to extract the mineral from oil runoffs . Other oil companies , including Exxon Mobil and Occidental Petroleum , plan to take advantage of emerging technologies to filter lithium from brine , as the world seeks to move away from fossil fuels . The vice minister said that while the cost of extracting lithium from the brine runoffs from oil fields remained higher than the traditional method of extraction from salt flats , but added he expected that if lithium prices grew the project would soon be commercially viable . Aramco , KAUST , and Ma'aden did not immediately reply to Reuters requests for comments . Ma'aden is majority owned by the kingdom 's sovereign wealth fund . Saudi Arabia , whose economy for decades has relied on oil , has spent billions on trying to turn itself into a hub for EVs as part of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman 's attempts to find alternative sources of wealth .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'make an event out of everything from whisky tastings...', which does not involve a causee participating in an event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of' is used here in a different sense, indicating the creation or transformation of something into an event, rather than the grammatical construction in question.

Mass layoffs have been the defining theme of the past two years -- and they 're not over yet . The industry is still feeling the effects of this crisis , even though many players are starting to see signs of stabilization . Let 's take a closer look at the layoffs of 2023-2024 in Europe to understand who was hit the hardest , how long it took professionals to find new jobs , and how their incomes and working conditions were impacted . Our main source of data is the Big Games Industry Employment Survey 2024 , conducted in Spring 2024 and presented at the Devcom conference in August 2024 . GamesIndustry.biz previously covered a talk by Tanja Loktionova , one of the survey 's organizers , where she shared its initial findings . Now , the full report is available for free on the InGame Job portal . In this article , we 'll dig deeper into the wave of mass layoffs in the industry , which was a key focus of the Big Games Industry Employment Survey 2024 . Additionally , 19% of respondents had over ten years of experience in games . In short , these were mostly seasoned professionals who might have been expected to be safe from layoffs . However , even among them , some were affected : 15% reported being laid off in 2023-2024 but had already found new jobs by the time of the survey . Another 6.2% said they were laid off and remained unemployed at the time of the survey . Altogether , 21.6% of respondents reported experiencing layoffs . So , who are these professionals who found themselves out of work ? When it comes to seniority levels , the survey shows that layoffs impacted professionals across the board , regardless of expertise . Between 23% and 26% of juniors , mid-levels , and seniors reported being laid off . At the Lead/Top level , the percentage was slightly lower , at 15-16% . However , the recovery process varied by seniority . Senior+ professionals tended to find new jobs relatively quickly , while mid-levels and juniors faced more challenges . By the time of the survey , 10% of mid-levels and 9% of juniors were still unemployed after being laid off . In contrast , only 3-5% of seniors , leads , and top-level professionals remained out of work . Image credit : Values Value Among the specializations most affected by layoffs , artists ( 28% ) , QA specialists ( 27% ) , and HR/recruitment professionals ( 25% ) were hit the hardest . Artists and testers , in particular , struggled to find new jobs quickly -- 10% of artists and 11% of testers were still unemployed at the time of the survey . Image credit : Values Value Salaries for QA and HR/recruitment professionals also declined in 2024 compared to 2023 . This drop appears closely tied to layoffs , as professionals in these fields faced limited job opportunities and often had to accept less favorable offers to reduce the length of their job search . Image credit : Values Value Looking at the full sample of respondents who changed jobs in 2023-2024 , more than half managed to find a new position in less than three months . We assume that this group largely includes those who left their previous roles voluntarily . The concerning figures are those representing longer job search periods : 12.3% took between six months and a year to find a new job , while 8.1% reported searching for over a year . Image credit : Values Value When looking at seniority levels , juniors emerge as the most vulnerable group -- nearly half of all junior respondents reported taking more than six months to find a new job . Mid-levels and seniors had similar timelines , with mid-levels trailing slightly behind seniors in speed . Only 5-6% of mid-levels and seniors spent over a year searching for a new role . Top-level experts and senior leaders demonstrated faster job searches , with 62% finding a new role in under three months . However , 25% of them reported that it took over six months to secure their next position . We believe this is because professionals at this level have more time and flexibility to carefully select roles that meet their expectations and requirements . Image credit : Values Value The next slide , breaking down results by professional fields , highlights how challenging the job search was for QA specialists , artists , and , to some extent , HR managers and recruiters . QA specialists had the hardest time ; nearly half of respondents in this group spent over six months looking for a new job , with 26% searching for more than a year . Similarly , 10% of artists and HR/recruitment professionals also reported spending over a year finding their next role . Image credit : Values Value Sasha Kononenko , recruitment lead and partner at Values Value told me : " There 's an interesting trend with UA managers : from late winter to mid-summer 2024 , there was a noticeable influx of candidates actively job hunting . However , by fall , most had already secured new roles , and those who have been with their current companies for a while are now highly reluctant to consider any changes . " Artists are facing a tough time -- those entering the job market are struggling to find new opportunities due to high competition and a limited number of openings . " A total of 10% of respondents left the gaming industry during the wave of mass layoffs . The highest percentage of those who left after failing to find a role was among juniors at 31% . That 's significant . Imagine : nearly one-third of entry-level professionals in the gaming industry ( the potential mid-level specialists of tomorrow ) exited the field after being unable to secure a position . This ongoing crisis is driving young talent away , slowing the industry 's growth and hindering its ability to benefit from the fresh , innovative ideas that these professionals often bring . Other groups also experienced departures during this period : 11% of mid-levels , 8% of seniors , 5% of team leads , and 11% of top-level experts left the industry . By specialization , 28% of QA specialists , 32% of HR managers and recruiters , 15% of analysts , 14% of product and project managers , 9% of marketers , and 5% of programmers transitioned out of gaming . As for game designers , the destination for the 10% who left the industry remains unclear , but this is the share of respondents who reported being forced to switch fields . According to the survey : 44% of specialists who changed jobs in 2023-2024 saw an increase in salary and/or career advancement . 24% ended up in lower positions and/or with reduced salaries . 21% found that their salary and position stayed the same . And , as was mentioned above , 10% had to switch other industries . Before the crisis , job changes were often a reliable trigger for salary increases and career growth . However , the new data reveals that mass layoffs have disrupted this trend . In 2023-2024 , 25% of mid-levels and 26% of seniors reported accepting lower salaries and/or positions at their new jobs . Similarly , 15% of team leads and 10% of top-level experts experienced the same . Additionally , nearly a quarter of respondents across all seniority levels ( except juniors ) indicated that their income and position remained about the same after changing jobs . Juniors , however , faced unique challenges . A significant 36% of entry-level professionals accepted less favorable conditions ( lower salary or position ) after switching jobs , while only 11% reported maintaining the same terms . When it comes to professional fields , there 's no surprise -- QA specialists and HR professionals were hit the hardest . Additionally , many game designers ( 25% ) , artists ( 31% ) , and programmers ( 27% ) experienced a decline in earnings and/or career progression after switching jobs last year . Image credit : Values Value For this article , we spoke anonymously with a laid-off employee from one of the largest game studios . Here 's their comment : " It took me about six months to find a new job . I should mention that during the first few months , I was n't very active in my job search -- my priority was dealing with my work visa , which was tied to my previous employment , and I needed to sort that out . Unfortunately , besides finding new employment , those laid off often have to deal with a lot of additional issues . One of them is handling emotional breakdowns , because being laid off is always painful , especially when you do n't expect it and feel secure in your position . " Job hunting is a full-time job . I woke up in the morning and opened LinkedIn . It 's recommended to tailor your resume for every job you apply to , and that 's good advice , but I did n't have the energy for that . What helped was that I was mainly looking for similar roles . The most effective way to find a job is still through networking . So working on your personal brand is a great idea . People should be able to associate your name with your field when someone is looking for a specialist like you . " Now I 'm working at a company of a completely different scale , so my conditions have changed : I earn less , and the usual corporate benefits like health insurance , company events , and so on are gone . But I view it with calm understanding : now I have more opportunities to see the results of my work and my contribution to the overall mission . " How have companies ' hiring approaches changed ? How have candidates ' negotiation strategies evolved when seeking employment ? What should we expect from the job market in the future ? Sasha Kononenko , Values Value Image credit : Values Value Sasha Kononenko shares her observations : " As for companies ' hiring approaches , they continue to set high standards and expect finalists to meet those requirements 100% , all while keeping salary expectations reasonable . It feels like companies are leaving less room for compromise -- for example , considering candidates with potential who might need time to build missing skills . Employers seem less willing to provide a ramp-up period , expecting new hires to hit the ground running and deliver results immediately . " Candidates , in turn , are concerned about the stability of potential employers : they want to know about flagship projects in the company 's portfolio , what 's already generating profit , or if there are investments from venture funds or other sources that indicate the company is n't likely to shut down overnight . These guarantees are now a key focus for candidates . " If you 're affected by layoffs and struggle to find the right job , how can you protect yourself from endless job searching ? Kononenko suggests focusing on personal branding . There are many webinars now on building and developing a personal brand , regardless of whether you 're in PR , bizdev , or a 2D artist . Being present on professional social networks is essential for everyone -- it 's a valuable asset in case of layoffs . With a personal brand and a broad network , the chances of finding a new job quickly are much higher . So , now is the time to shed shyness and introversion , and start sharing your successful and unsuccessful cases , your experience , industry insights , start discussions , and exchange opinions . Build a network of potential hiring managers , industry experts , and interesting people who can offer expert advice or connect you to the right contacts .

Struggling to squeeze in your regular training sessions amidst the chaos of the festive season ? You may want to hear about the benefits of walking workouts , which could simplify your exercise schedule during a period when you 've probably got a lot on your plate . Walking workouts have been on an upward trajectory in recent years , having caught the attention of celebrities and normal people keen to improve their cardiovascular fitness while sticking to low-impact activities . You may already be familiar with one such workout which went viral on TikTok - the 12-3-30 workout , the treadmill training trend that requires you to increase the incline to 12% and walk at 3 mph for 30 minutes . At the time of writing , both #12-3-30workout and #12-3-30workout hashtags have upwards of 10,000 mentions on the app . Meanwhile , under-desk treadmills are increasingly becoming a home office staple , as desk workers seek to hit their daily step quotas despite chockablock calendars . That walking workouts are on the up can only be a good thing -- research tells us that one of the benefits that walking is improved stamina , with as little as ten minutes of daily walking helping to improve your heart health and cardiovascular fitness , too . And , at this time of year , when many of us feel pressure to maintain a training programme that may feel overwhelming when we 're also juggling more social engagements , childcare and work commitments than usual , walking workouts can help to remove some of the barriers to movement that may cause you to feel additional stress . There is , of course , nothing wrong with temporarily stepping back from your training routine if it 's what feels best , but if you 're keen to keep moving in a way that affords you more headspace for festivities , walking workouts provide a solid solution . As for the other benefits ? We asked Dr. Suzanne Hackenmiller , Global Medical Advisor at AllTrails , to break them down . While it 's far from the most efficient method of building strength and muscle mass , walking does play a valuable role in engaging various muscle groups , including those in the legs , glutes , core and upper body , according to Dr Hackenmiller . " It is also an effective way to improve spinal flexibility and strengthen the muscles that support the back , " she says . If your overarching goal is to increase strength and muscle , then a regime centred around resistance training -- and the principle of progressive overload ( where you gradually increase the difficulty of workouts to continually challenge the body ) is key . However , that does n't mean that walking workouts do n't have their place . Contact me with news and offers from other Future brandsReceive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsorsBy submitting your information you agree to the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over . " Walking is more than an adequate form of aerobic exercise , and I emphasise the importance of daily steps to all my patients , " says Dr Hackenmiller . " For optimal fitness and overall wellbeing , you may find activities such as strength training -- incorporating bodyweight exercises like squats , lunges , or push-ups twice weekly -- or flexibility and balancing exercises like yoga or Pilates to be excellent complements to your walking workouts . " If you 're considering putting a metaphorical pin in your resistance training plan for the festive period , and instead partaking in walking workouts , do n't worry -- there are ways to challenge your muscles while walking . More on this shortly . Quite possibly the reason you 're interested in switching to walking workouts this season is the time-saving potential of both hitting your goal daily step count and breaking a sweat in a singular session . But how long should you aim to walk for to reap the many benefits ? Per Dr Hackenmiller , 30 minutes of walking a day is an excellent goal for most people , exceeding the World Health Organisation 's recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity per week . " In fact , studies show that just 30 minutes daily can improve cardiovascular fitness , strengthen bones , reduce body fat , and enhance muscle power and endurance , " she says . The actual ideal walk duration , she stresses , varies based on individual goals , fitness levels and personal circumstances . " To maintain general health , I recommend aiming for 30 -- 60 minutes a day . For those looking to enhance cardiovascular health or reduce stress , 60 -- 90 minutes may be more beneficial . If you 're not able to manage 30 minutes a day , shorter , frequent walks can still provide significant benefits as research suggests that our mood improves within just the first 5 minutes of being outside . " " Regular walking helps toregulate your circadian rhythm and reduce insomnia by promoting the release of serotonin , a precursor to the sleep hormone melatonin , " Dr Hackenmiller says . This is supported by a study published in 2019 , which explored the relationship between physical activity . Following a four-week intervention , during which participants were required to increase their daily step count , researchers found that women who took more steps and were generally more active during the day reported sleeping better than those who were less active . The study concluded that low-impact physical activity is positively related to sleep quality , and particularly so for women . Research on the subject suggests that walking is , indeed , a solid method of slowing down bone loss and maintaining skeletal integrity as you age . One study found that healthy , postmenopausal women who walk roughly one mile each day are likely to have a higher whole-body bone density than those who walk less . " Walking triggers the release of endorphins and reduces cortisol levels , which can lead to an improved mood and stress relief , " says Dr Hackenmiller . Nature walks , she continues , are especially beneficial due to the calming effects of green spaces . " Research consistently shows that time in nature quiets the mind and reduces rumination. " According to the NHS , exercise , such as walking , can reduce your risk of life-threatening illnesses including coronary heart disease , stroke , type 2 diabetes and cancer , decreasing your risk of early death by up to 30% . " Consistent walking can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by helping to improve insulin sensitivity and aiding glucose regulation , " Dr Hackenmiller explains . " Active lifestyles are also linked to lower risks of breast , colon , and other cancers . " Walking can reduce the risk of stroke by improving vascular health and lowering blood pressure . " Past research has shown that women who walk at least three hours a week have a43% lower stroke riskcompared to women who are inactive , " says Dr Hackenmiller. " Walking improves memory , attention , and creativity , partly by boosting blood flow to the brain , " explains Dr Hackenmiller . " In fact , those who take up regular exercise like walking are20% less likely to develop dementia . " AHarvard study from 2019 demonstrated that elderly women who walked over 4,400 steps a day significantly increased their longevity , compared to those less active in their age group . " Walking can be an easy , low-cost , and inclusive activity for all ages and fitness levels , " says Dr Hackenmiller . You can do a walking workout in your local park , on a treadmill at the gym or , if you 're fortunate enough to own a walking pad , in the comfort of your own home . Talk about cosy cardio . Dr Hackenmiller recommends downloading the AllTrails app to discover your local trails and find walks that suit your goals and abilities . " In short , walking and spending time outside this festive season and beyond is a great way to step up your wellbeing . By optimising intensity , terrain , and duration , the physical and mental benefits are truly endless , " she says . Looking to step up the difficulty of your regular walks to increase your heart rate ? Dr Hackenmiller has a few tips : Increase the speed and intensity . " Aim for a brisk pace where you can talk but feel slightly out of breath , " she says . " Alternate brisk walking with regular pace intervals , and include uphill routes or stairs to engage more muscles and boost endurance . " I 've had my Garmin for years and really rate how effective it is for tracking pretty much any workout . This one 's the most aesthetically pleasing design , in my opinion , and will blend the most seamlessly with your day wear .

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('Stephanopoulos' + 'cowed' + 'himself' + 'out of doing his job'). It involves a reflexive NP object 'himself' which is coreferential with the subject 'Stephanopoulos', similar to the atypical cases mentioned in (6a). The interpretation is prevention ('not being prevented from doing his job because of a threat'), aligning with the prevention interpretation of the transitive out of -ing construction. The verb 'cowed' fits into the category of verbs that exert force or pressure (2b), further supporting its classification as an instance of the construction.

' George is a very guarded person . His circle of trust is so small , and a lot of them do n't work at ABC anymore . He felt cornered and blindsided , ' one insider said . The anchor 's frustration with the network couples both the personal and professional strain the episode has taken on him - and it appears to have boiled over as he has since deactivated his X account , cutting ties with his more than 2.3 million followers . In response , Trump filed a lawsuit , asserting that such statements misrepresented the jury 's findings and caused him reputational harm . At the time , U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan , who presided over the trial , noted that the legal definition of rape in New York law is narrower than its common understanding . Stephanopoulos had previously defended himself against Trump 's defamation claims , saying in May that he would n't be ' cowed out of doing ' his job ' because of a threat . ' But his bosses at ABC News and Disney clearly felt differently . With depositions for both Trump and Stephanopoulos imminent , the network 's legal team pushed for a swift resolution to settle and make an apology . ' ABC News and George Stephanopoulos regret statements regarding President Donald J. Trump made during an interview by George Stephanopoulos with Rep. Nancy Mace on ABC 's This Week on March 10 , 2024 , ' the statement read . The prospect of corporate emails and internal discussions being exposed during discovery before any court hearings was also said to be a significant factor in the settlement . Lawyers for the president claimed numerous violations by the broadcaster including lying in a thoughtful and malevolent way , according to a lawsuit . They wrote the complaint is because of ' CBS ' partisan and unlawful acts of election and voter interference through malicious , deceptive , and substantial news distortion calculated to confuse , deceive , and mislead the public .

Additionally, it does not exhibit either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Prince Andrew will not be joining the Royal Family for any festive gatherings . ( Image : DANIEL LEAL/AFP via Getty Images ) The Duke of York , 64 , pulled out of tomorrow 's pre-Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace , which brings together the whole extended family for a private celebration . He and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson had been invited to the annual gathering of over 70 royals , but the Duchess of York is understood to have persuaded Andrew that it was unwise to attend . The move will come as a relief for King Charles as his younger brother has once again been thrust into the spotlight over a controversial business relationship . Earlier this week , Andrew and Sarah bowed out of joining the rest of the Firm for the traditional Christmas gathering at Sandringham over the Duke 's relationship with alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo . " It is a tragic downfall for someone who returned from the Falklands War as a war hero , " says royal author Phil Dampier , who is astonished that the King 's brother has pulled out of an event held behind Palace doors . He said : " I am very surprised that Andrew has pulled out of the Buckingham Palace lunch because it is a private event and he would only be seen arriving in his car . " Other members of the family are sympathetic towards him , but it seems at the moment he is being influenced by his ex-wife Sarah , who is perhaps playing a longer game now that she is back in the bosom of the Royal Family . " The royal correspondent of nearly 40 years believes Fergie " is the one controlling it all " as she is keen to avoid any further embarrassment for the King . Andrew 's withdrawal from Sandringham was also likely to have been influenced by his two daughters ' earlier decision to spend the festivities with their respective in-laws . But his exclusion from a private family event will likely set a new precedent , bringing his attendance at Easter and even Balmoral over the summer into doubt . Mr Dampier added : " If he is now not going to family events like Christmas then what is his future ? " For the foreseeable future , Andrew appears to be a complete outcast . " Today 's lunch will see the monarch invite the wider family , who will not join the king at the Sandringham estate next week . However , Andrew 's absence will further isolate the Duke as he and his ex-wife prepare to spend Christmas day together at Royal Lodge in Windsor , the home they still share at the Windsor Estate . The ongoing stalemate over the 19th Century Grade II-listed property continues to be a bone of contention between the brothers , after the King 's repeated attempts to move Andrew into the smaller Frogmore Cottage . The monarch is understood to have recently told Andrew he will now have to pay his own costs for the upkeep and security of the 30-room mansion , which will prove difficult for the non-working royal in the long term . This year will mark the first time since the Duke stepped down from public life after the furore over his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that he has not joined his family for Christmas , except during the pandemic . After his disastrous Newsnight interview in November 2019 - which led to his removal as a working royal - Andrew joined the family at Sandringham but did not join the Royal Family on their traditional walk to St Mary Magdalene church on Christmas morning . However , he was pictured walking to church with his brother Charles for an earlier private service . The Christmases of 2020 and 2021 saw the usual pilgrimage to Sandringham cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic , but when normality resumed in 2022 , King Charles invited his brother back into the fold .

Read our Privacy Policy Charles ' first Christmas as monarch saw Andrew join the Firm for the public walkabout for the first time since the Epstein scandal forced the Duke to retreat from public life . And last year , the monarch even invited Sarah Ferguson to attend church with the Firm - the first time she had joined the royals since the early 1990s . But his association with a Chinese spy appears to have brought an abrupt end to his already limited inclusion in public events . Earlier this week , it was revealed in a High Court hearing that Mr Yang , who was banned from the UK , was said to have been a " close " confidant of Andrew . The businessman has insisted it was " entirely untrue " to claim he was involved in espionage and that he has " done nothing wrong or unlawful " . Mr Yang , previously referred to only as H6 in the legal case , was the founder-partner of the Chinese arm of the duke 's PitchPalace initiative and twice visited Buckingham Palace in 2018 to meet with the late Queen 's second son . He is also said to have entered St James 's Palace and Windsor Castle at Andrew 's invitation . On Friday , the duke 's office said Andrew " ceased all contact " with the then-unnamed businessman when concerns were first raised about him . Though the Duke stepped down as a working royal in 2019 , it was n't until three years later that the Queen stripped him of his honorary military roles , remaining royal patronages and he gave up his HRH style in a dramatic fallout from a US civil sex case brought against him by Virginia Giuffre . Andrew reached an out-of-court settlement with Ms Giuffre a month later , and made no admission of guilt . The duke no longer attends key events such as Trooping the Colour , Remembrance Sunday or the annual Commonwealth Day service , but he has been able to attend family events such as Christmas , Easter and the King 's Coronation . In February , he was pictured leading the Royal Family to a memorial service at Windsor Park after Prince William pulled out at the last minute . But now it seems that Andrew will not be welcome at even family gatherings . |

And now , at last , it 's what you 've all been waiting for ... The Jamie Oliver Christmas Special ! With only four days left to go till your turkey lunch , I thought I 'd get the Naked Chef in with some pukka tips for roasting that bad boy up a treat and getting your spuds properly lovely and jubbly . Not really . I 've just taken Jamie along to review a restaurant with me and this happens to be the last issue before Christmas , which is a festival I can hardly think of without imagining him in a Christmas jumper and paper hat guzzling too hot mince pies straight from the oven and doing that thing where he jabs his finger at the plate he 's been eating from , to indicate awesomeness , while fanning his gob with the other hand because he 's burning his mouth . Jamie is a very good friend of mine and in my experience a truly wonderful person , so if you 've come here because you find his exuberant presenting style annoying , or believe you once had an iffy sprout in one of his restaurants , or somehow do n't think he really means it when he 's out campaigning for public health , then you 're in the wrong place . Jonathan Yeo , Giles and Jamie Oliver COURTESY OF JONATHAN YEO The holiday potatoes the group had with their main courses of duck , pork presa and sea bass COURTESY OF JONATHAN YEO The place Jamie and I were in , on the other hand ( along with our good friend Jonathan Yeo , the guy who was commissioned by the Devil to do a portrait of the King using the blood of children that , if you turn it upside down , acts as a portal through which Vladimir Putin can pass unseen in and out of Downing Street ) , was very much the right one . It 's called Wildflowers and Jamie had suggested it because the chef , Aaron Potter , is a prot ? g ? of Adam Byatt , of Trinity in Clapham ( and also of Phil Howard of Elystan Street ) , whom we both very much admire . It 's in Pimlico/Belgravia ( I 'm never sure of the difference ) , inside a very chichi retail development that used to be a timber yard , and professes to offer seasonal ingredients cooked over fire with a Mediterranean influence , which is nothing new in itself , of course , but is done exceptionally well here from start to finish . It 's a lovely long , light , comfortable room designed by Laura Hart ( co-owner of Wildflowers with Potter ) with a certain sort of Mediterranean afternoon in mind , using folksy rough plaster , aged oak , terracotta , glass and linen and a lot of the original Victorian brickwork , with a bit of fancy velvet and marble too ( such as on the kitchen island-style pass ) , seeing as this is Belgravia . Or Pimlico or wherever . Jonathan Yeo 's grilled Cornish sea bass , photographed by Jamie Oliver Jamie was there at a good table in the corner when I arrived and already so excited about the bread , a dazzlingly glazed focaccia , dizzy with sage and rosemary , that he had leapt up to congratulate the kitchen on it and to see where they baked it , and then begged to have a whole one brought out ( before being torn into squares ) for him to photograph . Which they did willingly , of course . He 's a big snapper of good food , our Jamie , so your illustrations of this meal are a bit better than usual . Some are even taken by Britain 's most celebrated portrait artist , but he 's more of an oils man ... There was a mellow , aromatic plate of fennel salami with some pale green pickled things sliced and scattered on top that Jamie thought were fresh almonds and I thought might be caperberries , but turned out to be pickled baby peaches , which neither of us had ever seen before . " He gets them raw and pickles them himself , " said Jamie after a swift kitchen trip to investigate , from which he returned with one or two of them whole and unsliced . " He 's got the salinity in the vinegar and the sugar perfectly . That takes quite a talent . It 's an amazing pickle and such beautiful salami . " While Jamie set about trying to slice one with an unserrated knife ( leading to a fair amount of tabletop peach billiards ) , I downed a speck-topped , honey-drizzled gnocco fritto filled with melted gorgonzola , and ordered a bottle of albari ? o . Then came some rather 1970s-looking snacks involving a cube of manchego and one of membrillo , pressed together on a cocktail stick , called Romeo and Juliets . " Why Romeo and Juliets ? " I asked our server , Eden , who went to inquire and came back with the explanation that , " They are a match made in heaven . " I thought about that for a moment and began to say , " Except that Romeo and ... " But Eden was there before me . " Yeah , they were a disaster , were n't they ? " she said . The fennel salami with pickled baby peaches . " He pickles them himself , " said Jamie after a visit to the kitchen COURTESY OF JAMIE OLIVER " Absolutely , " I said . " They were very pointedly ' star-crossed ' . Entirely unsuited . " But very nice snacks just the same . Best of the snacks , though , were the moules farcies : 12 mussels fanned out on a metal skillet with a piping hot , punchy-as-hell garlic butter so that they sang like escargots and had a gripping juice for the focaccia to soak up . Then we had all four starters : a lamb tartare ( which always feels Lebanese to me ) with labneh and harissa and thick , home-cut game chips to scoop it with ; a dish of cool stracciatella with big , brown , sticky Cantabrian anchovies worming through it , with turnip tops , chilli , garlic and crunchy pangrattato ; a towering " calamari sandwich " full of deep-fried squid and a ? oli , neatly sliced into three and held with sandwich sticks ; and a bruschetta loaded with grilled mackerel and sardines whose silver skins were so beautifully mottled with black that Jamie whipped out his phone again and was purring away as he snapped like David Bailey shooting Jean Shrimpton : " Beautiful , beautiful . Look at that , ooh , that 's lovely ... " And his head nearly fell off when Jonny 's grilled Cornish sea bass arrived , striped with copper on its sparkling platinum side , shimmering on a saffron-yellow stew of potatoes , shellfish and citrus sauce vierge . " The skin on that ! That 's perfect , " Jamie trilled . " The boy can really grill . And look at my duck . Look at the chard . That 's how you know a chef is n't a wanker , when he uses the stalks . " " The lamb tartare with labneh and harissa came with thick , home-cut game chips to scoop it with " COURTESY OF JAMIE OLIVER This was a relief to me as , when cooking chard at home , I do always use the stalks , braising them separately so that they have time to soften without the leaves turning to squish -- just like a total non-wanker . The duck itself was many bright pink slices nicely ribboned with brown skin and fat , and fistfuls of golden raisins and pine nuts . And my " Sugar pit Ib ? rico pork presa " was ever so nicely coloured too , the thinly sliced neck meat full of grain and heft and sweetness , bordered like the duck with its crisp fat and skin , and then quince , almonds and blobs of gremolata , the juices and oils pooling brightly on the plate . With these we had a big bowl of salad leaves , pale pink , beige , dark and light green , full of crunch and iron , with chopped soft herbs and a shroomy earthiness to the elderflower vinaigrette . Also " Holiday potatoes " , so called because they resemble the mismatched potato shards fried in olive oil , simultaneously crispy and chewy , that pass for " chips " in all the best beach tavernas in summer . Aaron Potter in the kitchen COURTESY OF JAMIE OLIVER And then there was a pistachio , rose and plum choux ? la cr ? me , soft and frangible , gently floral scented and delicious with coffee , and a fior di latte soft serve ( a Signor Whippy , if you will ) drizzled with olive oil , sea salt and grape balsamic for a not-too-sweet sweet finish . " I loved the open kitchen , " wrote Jamie to me in a gushing WhatsApp barely minutes after we 'd all gone our separate ways . " And I love the young chef 's temperament . Really nice and calm . He 's got a full brigade which shows he 's obviously about loyalty . He 's doing it with his partner , so it feels like a proper family affair , and I think he is trying to make a neighbourhood restaurant . I think the idea is that the menu constantly evolves . You could see the curiosity in where some of the inspiration is coming from -- French , English , Italian , North African -- but to me it did n't seem confused . And they 're not up their own arses , having fun with things like the holiday potatoes . Pistachio , rose and plum choux ? la cr ? me COURTESY OF JAMIE OLIVER " I mean , this is the generation of chefs we have to be hopeful for , right ? Spending their own money on their own restaurants and believing in the industry at a time when it 's never been harder . Ingredients have never been more expensive . Paying bills has never been harder . Thank God they are still willing to take risks because without them , we 're f***ed. " |

Speaking to NME , the SAS Rogue Heroes actor revealed that he had laid down vocals for the Mondays ' Madchester anthems in preparation . " We even started recording some of the tunes like ' Step On ' in the studio , so the train had left the station . It 's unfortunate that it did n't come together in the end , but never say never ! " " It really frustrated me about the film industry here that we do n't want to champion such an obviously important story because they wanted to know how it would land in America , " he said . " I just thought we could just focus on making it great here and whatever happens after that is secondary . " Advertisement O'Connell was talking to NME ahead of the second season of the BBC 's SAS Rogue Heroes , where he stars as poetry-loving livewire killing machine Paddy Mayne , who is based on a real-life war hero . Created and written by Peaky Blinders impresario Steven Knight , the thrillingly high-octane series follows the exploits of the misfits in the Special Air Service during the Second World War , with this season seeing the action shift from the conflict in North Africa to mainland Europe , and Mayne assuming control of the SAS following David Stirling 's ( Connor Swindells ) capture . Read the rest of our chat with O'Connell below , in which he reflects on the reunion of Oasis , working on music videos with Noel Gallagher and Paul Weller , as well as the legacy of Skins . Jack O'Connell in ' SAS Rogue Heroes ' season two . CREDIT : BBC Jack O'Connell : " We 're stepping up , which the audience will notice . It 's a different type of warcraft . We get a kick out of showing you things you 'd never discover even if you were to study the topic of the SAS . Paddy Mayne is one of the most enjoyable roles I 'll ever take on -- to portray that level of conflict and complexity . It 's hard to know who he is , no matter how much you read up about him . " " Yeah ! I think the Fat White Family are this SAS personified . Laughs Brilliant ! As Steven Knight says , these are the people that , in peaceful times , would have probably had no place in society . They 'd be locked up or ostracised . But in war , these are the people you want right next to you . " " 100 per cent ! God , yeah ! I take immense pleasure in exploring that and delivering some of the dialogue about that -- written by Steven Knight , a working class feller . Beyond my own example , it 's so applicable today . Class-based boundaries exist and they affect us all . It 's omnipresent and we 've got to make sure that art is n't just a rich person 's pastime . That fight is constant . " The cast of ' SAS Rogue Heroes ' season two . CREDIT : BBC Advertisement " We were well-initiated by the time season two happened , so there was no out-and-out refresher course , but this shoot is challenging . Unless it 's something death-defying , we do n't use stunt doubles , so the running-around , bangs and blows are done by us . You need to be in good shape because the schedule is battering . " " A lot of Robbie Williams ! Because we were all confined to one hotel in Morocco as we shot during COVID , it was like beingBanged Up Abroad , so all sorts went on ! " " Made-up ! I 've been wanting it to happen ever since they broke up and now it 's a reality . I 'm fucking beside myself ! " " Not yet ! But I 'm hoping there might be an ' in ' . " " That was dead cool man , so I 'm hoping because of that , there might be a ticket laid on for me ! Noel invited me down to his studio when he was recording the 2023 album ' Council Skies ' , and that was fucking mind-blowing just being in there . They were already hard at work , there was a real momentum , and I just turned up in the middle of it and was blown away , as you can imagine . Nuts ! What the Oasis story means to young lads like me growing up is seeing fellers from the types of places we 're from , conquer the world . It 's amazing and important . " " I did n't know he Shaun had said that , because I know the scriptwriter , Matt Greenhalgh , and he 's hellbent on making that story . I 'd be very surprised if it never gets made . It deserves to be . What we were up against with that was getting the amount of funding that it sorely deserves -- there 's no point telling the cheap version of it -- and it was really disheartening . " We 'd done several meetings with British-based production companies , hoping they 'd take to it the way we did , and I just felt like we were getting ripped off , and I 'd only want to tell the version of that story that I think Shaun deserves -- not just the knock-off . And it really frustrated me about the film industry here that we do n't want to champion such an obviously important story , because they wanted to know how it would land in America . I thought we could just focus on making it great here and whatever happens after that is secondary . But that was n't important to these guys -- and really disheartening . " " Yeah , I got to meet Shaun and hang out . We even started recording some of the tunes like ' Step On ' in the studio , so the train had left the station . It 's unfortunate that it did n't come together in the end , but never say never ! " " No ! Laughs I was doing my best Shaun Ryder impression , but there can only be one ! " " Listen , I loved every second . I was massively fortunate that Paul approached me with it -- that 's as rare as a lightning strike -- and I jumped at it . I shat myself a little bit about the reality of it ! Paul , bless him , was able to join us , which I 'm glad of because his involvement turned out to be more than I 'd anticipated or hoped for . It 's a solid music video that I 'm proud of , and I 'd love to direct more . " " Not to make it all about class , but for someone like him to open the door and offer an opportunity to someone like myself , in an industry were family ties can get you a long way , is fucking priceless . " " So many people still speak to me today about Skins , which I love . It goes to show the impact we had . I 'd do well to remember Glastonbury ! The new lot met the old lot and it was fucking monumental ! In Skins , we the cast were hard to accommodate -- we literally went through several hotels . We were just a gang of teens in Bristol , and it was a phenomenal time , where there was more of an emphasis on enjoying the ' now ' as opposed to capturing something for the internet . It feels like another era . " ' SAS Rogue Heroes ' series two is available in full on BBC iPlayer from 6am on New Year 's Day and airs on BBC One from 9pm that night |

The primary responsibility of any government is to keep its citizens safe . That means a proportional and effective police force and criminal justice system to protect against internal threats , and a proportional and effective military to protect against external threats. ? Almost three years ago now , Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine . In doing so , he reminded us of two things . One , that there are evil tyrants willing and able to commit atrocities , not only within their own borders but in other nations as well , so nations really do need to be able to protect their citizens from external threats . Equally importantly , Putin reminded us that nations will struggle to resist invasion and protect their citizens alone . That is why the second pillar of the United Nations 2005 declaration on the " Responsibility to Protect " places an obligation on " the international community " collectively " to assist states in protecting their populations " . As the saying goes : " United we stand , divided we fall . " Most countries do exactly that . There are many formal and informal international mutual-defence alliances , agreements and so on . For western Europe , the most important , by far , is Nato , and the cornerstone of Nato is the United States . The ( re- ) election of Donald Trump sees the return of the most isolationist American leader for 75 years . His selection of JD Vance as vice-president reinforces that sense of isolationism. ? That worries Europeans , but for all Europe 's distaste for Trump and Vance , they have a point on Europe and defence . We do not pay our fair share . The only European nation spending more on defence than the United States , as a share of national income , is Poland . It is good that European countries are increasing defence spending , but there is more to be done. ? No one should expect Europe to make a meaningful contribution to facing down China militarily , but it is reasonable that we lead in facing down Russia in Europe . Russia has a population under a third of that of the European allies , and Russia 's national income is less than half that of the UK alone . We in Europe can do this , and we should . In all of this , my heroes are Finland and Sweden . Both have been neutral for years , both applied to join Nato in 2022 and both are now full members of the alliance . They have massively increased defence spending recently , surpassing the recommended minimum Nato level of defence spending . Bravo . But if Finland and Sweden are heroes , then Ireland , Switzerland and Austria are villains . They are not members of Nato , they do not wish to be , and they each spend only trivial amounts on defence. ? These countries are , in essence , free riding on the defence spending of the United States , Poland , the UK , and so on . Free riding in the cause of freedom is not acceptable and does not meet any sensible definition of meeting the responsibility to protect your citizens . These countries need to join Nato or make a corresponding payment in lieu of membership . I do n't mind whether they join Nato as such . I do n't suppose a Swiss army or air force would be militarily effective . Swiss wages are high , making soldiers expensive , and they have no military tradition or experience. ? A better approach would be to pay another nation . Rather than developing their own military , Switzerland could instead give two per cent of their gross domestic product ( GDP ) to Poland , to increase levels of Polish military spending . As an economist I believe in comparative advantage -- the Polish military is likely to offer a lot more bang for Switzerland 's buck than would a Swiss military . Switzerland 's national income is so high that two per cent of its income is 2.5 per cent of Poland 's -- enough for a massive increase in the size and effectiveness of the Polish military. ? The same argument applies to Ireland and Austria . And also for Andorra , Jersey and so on -- it will probably be sensible for them to pay Poland or another Nato nation , rather than found their own armies , navies or air forces. ? These countries will , of course , say that their constitutions require them to be neutral . So did the constitutions of Finland and Sweden until recently . Constitutions can change , and they need to change when the world changes . The brutal reality of life today is that countries need to choose -- are you on the side of freedom , or not ? ? Brexit negotiations showed us that any individual country has difficulty negotiating when a large group of nations act together . European Nato nations need to use the same logic and come together against these relatively small free-riding countries . European Nato members should first ask these nations nicely , of course . We should point to Finland and Sweden , and celebrate their choices . Perhaps others will get the message . But if niceness does not work , we should make such countries understand just how much freedom means to us , and that we will not tolerate their refusal to honour their responsibility to protect their citizens. ? For Ireland and Austria , other EU nations should freeze them out of everything discretionary within the EU . Any initiatives they propose will be opposed . They can not and will not be seen as members of the club of liberal , western democracies if they choose to undermine our collective commitment to freedom and democracy. ? For Switzerland , the options are more plentiful . In particular , Europe -- including Britain -- could require visas for all Swiss citizens to visit Europe . For sure they are part of Schengen , but so what ? Membership can be suspended. ? The necessary visa for Swiss people to visit the UK or the EU could be set at a very high rate -- perhaps we could even calibrate it to raise two per cent of Swiss GDP . We could also make it very inconvenient . When I needed a visa to teach in a US university , I had to book a slot at the US embassy , then queue for five hours in person , mainly standing in line outdoors . We could do the same -- a five-hour queue for every Swiss person who wants a visa , with a new visa required every time they want to visit the EU or Britain . And , like at the US embassy , four of those five hours will be outside , standing up . Britain and France could do the same for Jersey and other Channel Islands . I imagine that this sort of approach would make our stance eminently clear , and that Switzerland would find it hard to withstand this sort of pressure. ? If countries choose to be on Russia 's side , so be it . That is their right , and we will treat them accordingly . But otherwise , they need to be on our side -- the side of freedom . There is no alternative , no third way . To govern is to choose ; and these governments need to choose which side they are on . Of course they would rather not choose , and pay the corresponding cost . That is why other nations must force them to make that choice. ? All that is needed , the clich ? goes , for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing . So too for countries . We should not allow countries to parade their neutrality as a virtue . By doing nothing they allow evil to flourish in our world . That is not acceptable , and we need to say so , loud and clear . |

Bayern lead the way in the top flight with 33 points after 14 matchweeks , but they lost for the first time in the league when they were beaten 2-1 by Mainz 05 on December 14 , while Die Roten Bullen are fourth with 27 points and defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 on December 15 in the Bundesliga . Kompany 's side lost their status as the division 's only unbeaten top-flight team when they played Mainz , a match in which the Bavarians produced just one shot on target , significantly fewer than their average of 7.8 attempts on target per game in the league . The Belgian boss said that he did not believe his players lacked desire , and told reporters that they would use the defeat as fuel , saying : " We were n't at our best today . This game is over . We 'll use this defeat to light a fire under us over the next few days and prepare for Friday . " Prior to their loss last time out , Bayern last lost a game in the Bundesliga on May 18 , with the club going on to win the four subsequent matches by a cumulative score of 16-3 . The Bavarians have failed to keep a clean sheet in their five most recent fixtures , whereas they had kept their opponents at bay seven times in the prior seven matches . Bayern come into Friday 's clash having lost two , won two and drawn one of their past five outings , though they have triumphed in six of their last eight Bundesliga games . Despite encountering difficulties of late , the hosts still boast a phenomenal home record considering they have achieved victory in 12 of their last 15 fixtures at Allianz Arena , being held to a stalemate twice in that time . Bayern are dealing with a number of injury issues and will not be able to select defenders Sacha Boey , Hiroki Ito and Josip Stanisic , while midfielder Konrad Laimer -- who has been used as a right-back -- pulled out of training this week . Bayern 's defence has struggled to cope amidst an injury crisis , and considering a number of defenders could miss out on Friday , Leipzig may have opportunities to capitalise on mistakes in the backline . However , the visitors are yet to prove that they have overcome the issues that have plagued them in recent weeks , and given Bayern boast an exceptional home record , the hosts should be considered favourites .

If revenge is a dish best served cold , then Greg Wallace must currently be feeling as though he 's crunching on an ice cube . After all , there can be few better ways to get one 's own back on a man who criticised " middle class women of a certain age " than by replacing him with one . The BBC has just announced that the Masterchef judge of almost twenty years ' standing is to be replaced by Grace Dent , the 51 year-old food critic whose wit is as sharp as a Sabatier . Dent 's career might ensure she 's middle class now , but her roots are proudly working class . " Do n't make me play Working Class Top Trumps with you because I 'll win , " she wrote in a newspaper column in 2013 , detailing how as a child she went to the local comp , owned a Staffy , holidayed in Tenerife and grew up with no books in the house bar those by Jackie Collins . " Nowadays I can afford Le Creuset , but you ca n't opt out of being working class , " she added . " It 's in your bones . " It 's also -- joyfully -- in her wardrobe . Her style could be defined as " modern matriarch " , in the sense that it has its lineage in the sort of strong , feisty working class women who can always be relied upon to get stuff done , and can equally be relied upon to look glamorous while they do it -- however busy they might be . Dent 's style choices are that of a glamorous but busy woman Credit : BBC/PA While upper class women might hide away their curves or eat so timorously little as not to have any , this is not the working class way . Waists are to be accentuated , calves are to be flaunted and cleavage is to be displayed whenever you fancy . Dressing up is n't something you do on special occasions , but a way of life . The worst thing anyone could ever say about a working class woman is n't that her dress is ' so last season ' -- who cares ? -- but that she does n't look well put-together or clean . Dent 's frequent TV appearances might ensure she has a stylist now , but she has always had a strong signature look . While some burgeoning female TV personalities need a firm guiding hand -- or in many cases , a total makeover -- Dent has always known her own style . Her favourite look is a V-neck wrap dress that accentuates her curves , worn with stilettos , liquid eyeliner and a beehive . It 's Sophia Loren with a soup ? on of Bet Lynch , and a dash of Joan Crawford for good measure . " Grace is decisive and has a great sense of self , so she instantly knows what she likes when we 're trying out new pieces , " says her stylist , Peter Bevan , who has been working with Dent since September , after meeting her on a fashion shoot . " She 's always open to new ideas and loves trying new looks , which makes my job a joy every time we have a fitting . " Dent frequently wears V-neck wrap dresses Credit : Getty As an author , podcast host , newspaper columnist and frequent TV show panellist , Dent is as time-pressed as anyone , a fact that Bevan always takes into consideration . " Her schedule is always full and she 's often on the move , so we usually have a few options which look amazing the moment you throw them on , " he says . " We generally avoid anything too fussy or frilly : she tends towards strong , structured silhouettes and clean lines which feel elegant yet modern and wearable . Fit is very important , so she loves pieces that are cut well using premium fabrics . Elevated design details like draping or ruching are a plus . " Dent might have grown up shopping at Tammy Girl and Miss Selfridge , but while she 's no label snob -- perish the thought -- she admits to having an account at Net-a-Porter . " She 's always interested in discovering new designers , " says Bevan . " Some of our go-tos are Mother Of Pearl , a responsible label known for its minimal yet premium collections , and The Fold , which is renowned for strong silhouettes and luxurious fabrics . She also loves Edeline Lee , a London-based designer whose collections are perfect for women with a busy schedule , since most of the pieces barely need to be steamed when you pull them out of a suitcase . " Dent is n't the only high profile woman to have fallen under the spell of Edeline Lee , whose ? 960 ' Pedernal ' dress , in kingfisher blue , she is wearing in the BBC 's promotional photo for Masterchef . The Canadian-British designer is also loved by Lady Victoria Starmer , who frequently wears her dresses , and also attended her show at London Fashion Week in September . Other Lee fans include Helen Mirren , Phoebe Waller-Bridge and the Princess of Wales . Dent is a fan of The Fold and Edeline Lee , a designer also favoured by Lady Victoria Starmer Credit : Getty In choosing boldly hued dresses by Lee , Diane Von Furstenberg and The Fold , Dent can stay true to her favoured aesthetic , while adding the sort of polish required of primetime TV . " For TV , it 's usually best to go for pieces that stand out , so block colours tend to work best , " agrees Bevan . " Likewise , when it comes to accessorising , she likes to wear chunky gold jewellery . " While Dent indubitably suits bold colours , you sense they 're worn more out of necessity than desire . A goth at heart ( as a teen , her poster girls were Siouxie Sioux , Winona Ryder and Brix Smith from The Fall ) , like many former goths , she 's never quite been able to shake her love of liquid eyeliner , backcombed hair and black . " Maybe , if I 've worn colours and patterns for three or four appearances , I can sneak in a black week ? " she once wrote , describing the planning that went into her wardrobe as a guest judge on Masterchef . Her wardrobe features darker hues as well as brightly coloured pieces Credit : Getty Now that she 's the co-host , Dent can dress however she likes . Whatever she wears , we look forward to the glamour . High heels , high hair and high standards seems like a recipe for success . |

The sentence contains the phrase 'talk him out of going to Sandringham', which fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'talk' is used in the V1 slot, which is a means of verbal persuasion (category d). The NP subject 'Sarah' is an animate agent, and the NP object 'him' is a causee who participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'going to Sandringham'. The interpretation is prevention, as Sarah is trying to prevent him from going to Sandringham. This aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Prince Andrew is considered such an embarrassment to the Royal Family that Buckingham Palace insiders briefed the Press this week that he should ' do the decent thing ' and voluntarily withdraw from public view over Christmas . No sooner had these insiders ' opinions been published than the Duke of York said he would not be joining the rest of his family at Sandringham at all following the fallout from the so-called ' Chinese Spy ' scandal . His ex-wife Sarah , Duchess of York , whose presence after a 30-year absence during the public walk from church on Christmas Day had been considered so significant last year , would also stay away from the private Norfolk retreat . The couple 's daughters , Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie , had , reportedly already decided that they would spend the festive season with their in-laws rather than with the Windsors . Then it emerged the Duke and Duchess had also pulled out of King Charles 's pre-Christmas private lunch for extended family and friends at Buckingham Palace today . Yet , despite all of this , Andrew still holds a prestigious and potentially significant role in the monarchy . Just like his nephew Prince Harry , who also ' stepped back ' from royal duties , Andrew is a Counsellor of State . That means he is one of seven members of the Royal Family legally entitled to deputise for the King , who is still undergoing cancer treatment , ' in the event that he can not undertake his official duties as Sovereign on a temporary basis due to illness or absence abroad ' . Until 2022 , the Counsellors of State were Queen Camilla , Prince William , Harry , Prince Andrew and his elder daughter , Princess Beatrice . But , many considered this situation unsuitable as the Dukes of York and Sussex , as well as Beatrice , are n't working royals . Prince Andrew drives his car away from Royal Lodge on Wednesday The Duke of York and King Charles together at the late Queen 's Diamond Jubilee ceremony at St Paul 's Cathedral in London Later that year , the King asked Parliament to add his sister , Princess Anne , and brother , Prince Edward , to the list . It was reported he decided not to remove Harry and Andrew because he did n't want to escalate family tensions . So not only are Andrew and Harry both Counsellors of State , they retain their places in the line of succession , the Duke of Sussex in fifth , the Duke of York in eighth . Think about that for a moment : Andrew is seen as such a danger to the reputation of the Royal Family that he can not be seen with them in public , yet he is considered a suitable candidate to stand in for our head of state . Harry , meanwhile , who publicly criticised the royals and betrayed his family with his tawdry memoir , Spare , would be in line to succeed the King if disaster were to strike the Windsors . This situation seems to be the wrong way round to me . The King should be stripping Andrew and Harry of their formal roles , and their places in the line of succession , while treating them as loved ones in private , if he so chooses . Andrew has repeatedly shown that he has terrible judgment when it comes to friends and associates . His ten-year friendship with the Chinese alleged spy Yang Tengbo , who was named this week , is just the latest example . The letter sent by the duke 's senior adviser Dominic Hampshire in 2020 telling Yang that , ' outside of his closest internal confidants , you sit at the very top of a tree that many , many people would like to be on ' , is excruciatingly embarrassing and highly damaging to the monarchy . So , too , is the document found on Yang 's phone that had ' main talking points ' for a call with Andrew , which said the prince was ' in a ' desperate situation and will grab on to anything ' . A courtier told me this week that the King would n't take further action against his brother -- or younger son -- because he prefers to avoid confrontation wherever possible . ' His Majesty does not want to exacerbate family tensions further , ' the source said . ' By nature , he is a unifier , not a divider . ' But my fear is that the events of recent days have left the King looking weak . Using officials to plead with Andrew to ' do the decent thing ' and stay out of public view , and even urging his estranged wife , Sarah , to help talk him out of going to Sandringham , put our monarch in the position of a supplicant . Instead , he should be the one in charge : stripping Andrew of his formal positions , but then inviting him to spend Christmas with his family as a brother . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'taking the guesswork out of cleaning' involves an NP ('the guesswork') as a complement of the complex preposition 'out of', and 'cleaning' is a noun rather than a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the sentence does not yield a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'bowed out of' is intransitive and does not take an NP object. Additionally, there is no causer-causee relationship or a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Princess Kate and Prince William will not be attending King Charles 's annual pre-Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace today . It is understood that they are already in Norfolk - and always planned to be . A royal source said the Prince and Princess of Wales are looking forward to spending Christmas at Sandringham with the family , as usual . Kate and William have a property on the Sandringham estate , Anmer Hall , where they often retreat for the school holidays . The Georgian home dates back to the 18th century and is the perfect place for the family to get some downtime , as it 's set in the beautiful countryside .

Earlier this week , Andrew and Sarah bowed out of joining the rest of the Firm for the traditional Christmas gathering at Sandringham over the Duke 's relationship with alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo . Andrew 's withdrawal from Sandringham was also likely to have been influenced by his two daughters ' earlier decision to spend the festivities with their respective in-laws . But his exclusion from a private family event will likely set a new precedent , bringing his attendance at Easter and even Balmoral over the summer into doubt . |

The sentence 'David Corenswet was brought in as a new iteration of Superman after Henry Cavill bowed out of playing the role amid a switch up in telling the story.' involves the transitive out of -ing construction. It follows the structural pattern NP subject (Henry Cavill) + V1 (bowed) + NP object (the role) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (playing the role). The interpretation here is a prevention interpretation, where Henry Cavill's action of bowing out prevented him from continuing to play the role of Superman. The verb 'bowed' fits into the category of verbs that appear in the V1 slot by means of exerting force or pressure, understood metaphorically. The NP object 'the role' functions as a causee, and the sentence can be paraphrased as 'Henry Cavill caused himself to move out of playing the role as if by bowing out.'

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate that would induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a recommendation by planning officers without the required construction elements.

Plans to rejuvenate a run down row of shops and replace it with a " bulky " block of flats have been refused . A proposal to redevelop the site next to the former Hen and Chicks pub in Luton High Street was turned down during a Medway Council planning meeting yesterday ( December 18 ) . The proposed development site . Picture : Google Maps An application was submitted by Directive Planning in February for the site currently housing store Medway Food Centre , My Sandwich Obsession caf ? and the Golden Dishes restaurant . The agents called the premises " in a state of disrepair , exhibiting broken parts and general deterioration " . Under the proposal , the run-down buildings would have been demolished to pave the way for a four-storey block of flats consisting of 13 one-bedroom and 11 two-bedroom apartments . It would have also featured three commercial units , three offices and cycle storage . The neighbouring former Hen and Chicks pub . Picture : Google Maps The man behind the scheme to revitalise the area is businessman Ali Akpinar who runs Medway Food Centre . The application received a total of 128 comments from residents , with 82 in support and 46 objecting . But planning officers recommended the development for refusal , saying the building would be an overdevelopment of the site which would dominate other buildings and be out of keeping with neighbouring properties . The report said some of the flats inside the block would not receive sufficient sunlight , while others would overlook neighbouring houses What the mixed-use scheme in Luton High Street would have looked like . Picture : Directive Planning During a Medway Council planning meeting last night , 14 councillors voted in favour of refusing the plans . " We know it is full of houses that have multiple occupations . We know fully well the amount of rubbish that is strewn out in the streets simply because the existing residents do n't have anywhere to put it or store it . " This will just make the existing situation worse because it will just aggravate the existing system . " Councillor Douglas Hamandishe . Picture : Medway Council Cllr Douglas Hamandishe ( Lab and Co-op ) added : " When I looked at the plans , I just felt this was a slumification -- if that is even a word -- of the area and we do n't need to be doing that . " This is a cash grab to maximise building for profits over people 's welfare . " While other councillors were in agreement -- they suggested there is still potential for rejuvenation of the site . Councillor Adrian Gulvin ( Con ) , representing Lordswood and Walderslade , said : " This is an overdevelopment of the site , it is too bulky and too domineering . " Having said that , I think this site is still suitable for development because it is a site I know very well . " Particularly the two single-storey premises on the right-hand side of the site are very unattractive and yes , there is space there to build up . " |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'Fergie' is the NP subject, 'talk' is the V1, 'him' is the NP object, and 'attending Thursday's annual Buckingham Palace pre-Christmas lunch for extended family and friends' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. The interpretation is a prevention interpretation, as Fergie is preventing him from attending the event by means of talking. The verb 'talk' fits into the category of means by enticing, flattering, or verbal persuasion. The NP object 'him' is a causee who participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

You know that we have reached hard-crack point on the royal sugar thermometer when the Duchess of York is the one who is credited with giving out the good advice . Fergie ! The calamity-prone former toe-suckee who accepted money from Jeffrey Epstein , attempted to sell access to her husband and has generally blundered through royal life with the elan of an entitled , runaway rhino ? Yes , that one . In the years following the deaths of Queen Elizabeth and the unforgiving Prince Philip -- her harshest critic -- Ferg has been busy , busy , busy transforming herself into a kind of sensible agony aunt for nincompoop princes ; a wise owl , a safe pair of hands , the Duchess of Judicious . You have to laugh into your eggnog -- or else you 'd start crying and never stop . For if Fergie has all the answers , somebody is asking the wrong questions . Fresh revelations about the Duke of York 's links to alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo have cast him further into chilly royal exile . This means that neither Andrew nor Sarah will join King Charles for the family Christmas lunch at Sandringham -- a privilege that Queen Elizabeth II always extended to her supposedly favourite son , no matter what the clod had done . However , Andrew is now such a major embarrassment that he is about as welcome at the family table as guano in the guacamole , as a dead mouse in the punchbowl , as a hunk of turkey gizzard in the royal trifle . And you can bet he does n't like it one bit . Fergie , who has cast herself in the unlikely late-life role of peacemaker and deal-breaker , even had to talk him out of attending Thursday 's annual Buckingham Palace pre-Christmas lunch for extended family and friends . The Duchess of York has been busy transforming herself into a kind of sensible agony aunt for nincompoop princes ; a wise owl , safe pair of hands , the Duchess of Judicious , writes Jan Moir Neither Andrew nor Sarah will join King Charles for the family Christmas lunch at Sandringham I wonder what she said to him . ' Andrew , do you see that large rock over there ? Get under it and do n't come out till I say so . ' Of course , Andrew wanted to go to all the parties and family gatherings . As usual , he thinks he has done nothing wrong , despite allegations that Yang became a ' close confidant ' of his while engaged in ' covert and deceptive activity ' for the Chinese Communist Party . Oh , it 's almost too wonderful for words . Andrew not only nearly brought down the monarchy with his arrogance and stupidity , now it emerges he might have been a threat to national security , too . Yet when it emerged that he was possibly the hole in the doughnut of a Chinese spy ring , I suspect the prince was actually rather pleased . Especially when he was described as a ' useful idiot ' -- because that 's the first time in his 64 years that he 's ever been described as a useful anything . And now galloping to the rescue like a three-legged horse wearing a blindfold is his ex-wife . Apparently Fergie has played a key role in smoothing relations between King Charles and Prince Andrew amid ongoing family tensions , and acts as a mediator over the fractious matter of where the pair of them are going to live in future . Andrew wants to remain at Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park , the King wants him to relocate to the more modest Frogmore Cottage . Palace insiders suggest Fergie may be the only person capable of persuading Andrew to undertake the move , but I will believe it when the chintz and the new telephone system so generously gifted by their Chinese friends are being loaded into the removal vans . For the prickly Yorks have always resisted anything that might reduce their status in royal circles . Since the day they got married in 1986 , their life together has always been about increasing their tattered eminence while filling their pockets , not about tolerating any diminishing returns on their standing . That 's one reason why it 's so difficult to accept the Duchess of York in her new role as Mary Poppins to the princes . Come off it ! Surely she played a major part in Andrew making such a fool of himself in the first place . Sarah 's zeal for riches and cachet matched Andrew 's eagerness to be seen as a man of import , a global player on the world stage . These were key factors in the pair of them befriending fabulously rich people such as Epstein , in the greedy hope that some of that filthy lucre would fall into their laps -- which it did . Later , Sarah said she ' deeply ' regretted accepting ? 15,000 from Jeffrey Epstein to help pay off some of her debts . I 'll bet she did ! All it proved was how cheaply the pair of them could be bought . Mistake after mistake , scandal after scandal , on and on the Yorks travel down their own yellow brick road of blunder . No wonder King Charles does n't want them around at Christmas . Yet for staying loyal to Prince Andrew and helping to smooth over his peevish relations with the King -- who by the way is no stranger to dodgy rich men bearing gifts himself -- the Duchess of York is treated like some kind of saint . But what else can she do ? Without Andrew and the Royal Family , she barely has a home , let alone a social profile . ' I want to do as much for the King and Queen as possible . I wish they 'd ask me to do more , ' she said in a recent interview . Good Lord . Has n't she done enough ? Does it matter what class Blake is from ? Can actress Blake Lively really be described as working class ? Her husband Ryan Reynolds thinks so . In a recent interview , he attributed their parenting approach to their ' very working-class backgrounds ' . Yet Blake grew up a wealthy suburb of Los Angeles , where her parents worked in the entertainment industry . Dad Ernie was an actor ; mum Elaine was a talent scout . And last year , Victoria Beckham 's claims to be working class were mocked by her own husband David , who forced her to admit that she was driven to school in her father 's Rolls-Royce . Actress Blake Lively grew up a wealthy suburb of Los Angeles , where her parents worked in the entertainment industry And now that Grace Dent is to replace Gregg Wallace on MasterChef , fans have delighted in calling her ' a middle-class woman of a certain age ' -- how Wallace described his female critics . But Grace is proudly working class -- as she has declared many times . Should any of this even matter ? Sometimes it feels like we have barely moved on from the Victorian Age . Will Madame Pelicot 's ordeal ever be over ? Yesterday on Sky News , a male presenter was expressing his admiration for the ' dignity ' Gisele Pelicot had shown throughout the harrowing trial of her abusers . Indeed . As she was filmed leaving the court following the verdicts in the worst sexual abuse case ever heard in France , in which 51 men were sentenced to more than 400 years in jail , Sky ran this caption onscreen underneath her image : ' Raped by multiple men . ' Is n't she worth more than that ? So much more . Yet one wonders if Madame Pelicot 's ordeal will ever be truly over . Gisele Pelicot was filmed leaving the court following the verdicts in the worst sexual abuse case ever heard in France Yes , her husband has been sentenced to 20 years in jail , but his lawyers are considering an appeal . Meanwhile , another lawyer complained about the long sentences for his clients , each of them a disgusting rapist , because they were only mere ' puppets ' of Dominique Pelicot . The lawyer for one defendant -- who was found guilty of sexual assault but walked free after already spending the length of his sentence on remand -- was filmed mocking protesters outside the court , calling them ' a bunch of hysterical knitters ' and saying ' my client has a message for you -- the message is s*** ' . Another lawyer for some of the guilty men said he was worried about his clients committing suicide . How the heart does n't bleed for them . It all suggests that attitudes in France towards women and women victims of sexual assault still need to improve . And at time of writing , there has been no comment yet -- nothing ! -- from President Macron on a crime that has shocked the world . What a disgrace . The UK 's first driverless bus service has shut down in Scotland . There was a lack of interest -- and passengers -- in the 14-mile route from Fife to Edinburgh operated by Stagecoach . Even though I 've been in a Waymo driverless taxi in America -- and loved it ! -- I 'm not sure I 'd be happy in a driverless bus going over the Forth Road Bridge in a high wind with a load of Falkirk hooligans drinking alcopops on board . No thanks , Stagecoach . This is a first . Queen Camilla has granted a royal warrant to Jo Hansford , who has been colouring her hair for the past three decades . That 's one way to get an appointment ! But listen , I am not sure that Jo should be given a royal seal of approval . Should n't she be sent to the Tower for crimes against hair instead ? For Camilla is just too blonde . Far too blonde ! She 's blonder than an Arctic fox in a snowstorm under a klieg light . You can see her neon blonde bob from the moon . With that nuclear glow lighting the way , she does n't even need a crown on top . All I am saying , Jo , is that a few sobering lowlights scattered among the Queen Cam white-out would n't go amiss . You 're welcome ! Queen Camilla has granted a royal warrant to Jo Hansford , who has been colouring her hair for the past three decades It 's Merry Christmas from me -- even if Gabby wo n't say it At the end of the BBC 's Sports Personality Of The Year show , presenter Gabby Logan wished viewers a ' happy festive season ' rather than a ' Merry Christmas ' . Was she being woke ? One sighs and supposes so , even if there would n't be a festive season without Christmas . So why not just say it anyway ? No one on the BBC would change the names of Diwali or Yom Kippur or Eid -- for example -- into something banal and generic , fearful of offending non-participating religious groups . Far from it ! Yet somehow , it is always acceptable to be reductive about Christianity . This is despite the fact that historically and culturally this is a Christian country with customs and anniversaries taken from the liturgical year . Gabby and co would do well to remember that , but we all know they wo n't . Anyway , may I take this opportunity to wish all my readers a very Merry Christmas indeed . Presenter Gabby Logan wished viewers a ' happy festive season ' rather than a ' Merry Christmas ' at the end of the BBC 's Sports Personality Of The Year show No matter how successful , adored and famous a pop star becomes , there will always be a grump in the corner moaning that they ca n't see what all the fuss is about . Usually that grump is me , but not when it comes to Taylor Swift . I love Taylor 's songs and her admirable , demented work ethic , which crested this month with the release of two new albums -- The Tortured Poets Department and The Anthology -- both written , recorded and made while she is in the middle of her worldwide Eras tour , performing on stage for three straight hours at every show . |

Lineker will remain with the BBC , though , having signed a new contract that will see him front the broadcaster 's coverage of the FA Cup and the 2026 World Cup .

Coronation Street star Georgia Taylor has delighted fans as she was seen enjoying an off-screen reunion alongside her on-screen sister Jane Danson . The pair , who are famed for playing Toyah Habeeb and Leanne Battersby in the ITV soap , headed to watch their former on-screen flame Chris Gascoyne in his latest gig , almost a year after his Weatherfield exit scenes aired .

In January 2014 it was confirmed that Chris would be leaving once again , but the following year he reprised the role for two episodes for the funeral of Deirdre Barlow , played by Anne Kirkbride . It was then revealed in 2016 that Peter would be making a return to Weatherfield , with Chris remaining in the role until the end of 2023 when his last scenes aired on December 26 .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'everyone and their mother's cat' is the NP subject, 'annoy' is the V1, 'you' is the NP object, and 'attacking a gym' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also gives rise to a prevention interpretation, as the action of annoying prevents the object from attacking the gym. The verb 'annoy' fits into the category of means to achieve a goal by arousing irritation or anger. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Believe it or not , the December 2024 Community Day is only the second time the long-running Pok ? mon Go event has featured the beloved pocket monster Chansey . Given the Egg Pok ? mon 's popularity as a Gym defender and its ubiquity in the anime as Nurse Joy 's ever-faithful friend ( including one stint in a heart-breaking episode as Nurse Jessie 's partner ) , this may come as something of a surprise . Chansey is one of the ultimate Gym defenders in Pok ? mon Go , and if you thought they were a chore to take down before , just wait until everyone and their mother 's cat has a Level 50 XL Blissey and Level 50 XL Chansey to annoy you out of attacking a gym ! But first , what is a Community Day ? For the uninitiated , this is a reoccurring Pok ? mon Go event that celebrates a specific Pok ? mon , while boosting shiny rates and offering an exclusive move , along with a whole host of other bonuses ! Since Chansey is technically a middle evolution , thanks to the later addition of Happiny in Gen 4 , this Community Day event will be a little more involved than usual . Happiny is only available in Eggs , which means that if you 're hunting for the shiny ( which you should be as shiny rates are boosted for Happiny , too ) , you 're going to have to get your hiking boots on . Happiny will hatch much more frequently from 2km Eggs , which will become 1km Eggs if you put them in an incubator during the event hours ! Chansey will be spawning en masse throughout the event , this is the best chance we 've had for catching a Chansey with 100% perfect IV stats and , if you achieve this feat , it 's a good idea to know its evolution Blissey 's best moveset . Even if you 're not fussed on this month 's Community Day Pok ? mon , there are a multiple other bonuses that may get you out and about , including the aforementioned half distance hatch bonus . This month 's Community Day is the perfect opportunity to find a Chansey with perfect IV stats in Pok ? mon Go . Chansey . For Chansey , the CP values which correspond to perfect 15/15/15 stats are as follows : Level 30 ( wild CP maximum ) -- 1075 CP Level 35 ( weather boosted CP maximum ) -- 1165 CP Chansey 's wild CP value aligns with your current Trainer Level until you reach Level 30 , so , since the majority of the player base is above this level , we keep to these values for the sake of simplicity . If you 're currently beneath Level 30 , however , these values will be different . Perfect for the Master League and raids means exclusively 15/15/15 - the best possible stats that a Pok ? mon can have . Perfect stats in Pok ? mon Go , however , depend entirely on what you want to use your Pok ? mon for . Meanwhile , perfect for Great League and Ultra League are completely different , as the goal is to get the highest level you can without going over the CP cap ( 1500 for Great League and 2500 for Ultra League ) . Since attack raises CP more than defence , the highest-level Pok ? mon in these leagues tend to have low attack and high defence . If you want to run Blissey or Blissey in Go Battle League ( you should n't ) , you 're looking for different stats : A perfect Great League Blissey is 0/15/3 , reaching 1499 CP at Level 22.5 A perfect Ultra League Blissey is 0/15/14 , reaching 2499 CP at Level 50 A perfect Master League Blissey is 15/15/15 , reaching 3117 CP at Level 50 While Chansey can be caught in the wild , and was a basic Pok ? mon in the first iteration of the game , it technically evolves from Happiny with 25 Chansey Candy after walking 15km with it as your buddy . Given how common Chansey is , relatively speaking , and how much of a pain it can be to get a Happiny , this seems unlikely to be something the vast majority of trainers are interested in doing . Happiny . Chansey evolves into Blissey with 50 Chansey Candy in Pok ? mon Go . This is the Pok ? mon 's final evolution and an absolute tank when it comes to gym defense . The theme in this evolution line is a little odd , and a good example of why you should n't think too hard about Pok ? mon ; particularly when it comes to food chains or general ecology . Things can get real dark , real quick . Happiny : It carries a round , white rock in its belly pouch . If it gets along well with someone , it will sometimes give that person the rock . Chansey : This kindly Pok ? mon lays highly nutritious eggs and shares them with injured Pok ? mon or people . Blissey : Anyone who takes even one taste of Blissey 's egg becomes unfailingly caring and pleasant to everyone . So , first we have Happiny , a baby Pok ? mon that carries around a rock . Fine , kids do weird stuff - if it wants to make friends with a rock and then give it people , we 've seen kids do weirder stuff than that . Chansey is where things start turning dark ... Laying and incubating eggs , as we all know , is how many species rear their offspring . Kangaskhan and Cubone both clearly show how strong the maternal link in Pok ? mon lore . Chansey though ? Nah - it feeds people its eggs . ' Here , ' it says with its beady little eyes . ' Eat my baby . ' You know what else lives to get its babies eaten ? Parasites . You might think that this is pretty Farfetch 'd , but that 's a different Pok ? mon . Bad puns aside , stick with us : there 's precedent for this kind of parasitology - Parasect is a prime example of this , with the mushroom actively controlling the crab-like host . The real question there is which part of Parasect is the Pok ? mon - the body or the brain ? Our tangent brings us to Blissey , the final evolution of this surprisingly dark Normal-type Pok ? mon . ' Anyone who takes even one taste of Blissey 's egg becomes unfailingly caring and pleasant to everyone ' - this means that its eggs contain mind-altering substances ; running with the above theory , this means that the parasites can cross the species barrier . Ever wanted to know Pok ? mon becomes The Last of Us ? Spoiler warning : it starts with Blissey . All of the Pok ? mon in the Chansey evolution line are Normal types . ( Image credit : pokemon.com ) The December Community Day event runs between 2pm and 5pm ( local time ) on Saturday 21st December 2024 and Sunday 22nd December 2024 , with different Pok ? mon featured on each day . Chansey is featured on the Saturday , so you 'll have three hours to gather as much Chansey Candy as possible then to ensure you can fully evolve it ! If you 're hurting for Candy , use Pinap Berries and Silver Pinap Berries to double the amount of candy you earn from catching , and make sure to have a Normal-type Pok ? mon mega evolved - Mega Loppuny , Mega Kangaskhan or Mega Pidgeot are all great options here . Blissey is truly awful in Go Battle League , but that 's not a problem because that 's not why you want a Blissey with good IVs . The reason Blissey is such a sought-after Pok ? mon is that it is an absolute unit in Gym defense , and is consistently ranked one of the best defenders in Pok ? mon Go . You can quite easily get away with just two moves : Zen Headbutt ( Psychic , Fast ) and Dazzling Gleam ( Fairy , Charged ) . It 's also worth noting that Blissey is getting an exclusive Community Day move : Wild Charge . This Electric-type move does n't really do much for you ; stick with the tried and tested and hold that gym for as long as you can ! May your returning Pok ? mon always bring you 50 free Pok ? coins . The opportunity to catch a shiny form of the highlighted Pok ? mon is one of the biggest draws of any Community Day event . This is thanks to the increased shiny rate for the event 's highlighted Pok ? mon combined with how catching Pok ? mon of the same type naturally increases said rate making it easier to encounter shinies . To find a shiny Pok ? mon , you need to either start a catch encounter with a Pok ? mon in the wild or earn said encounter by completing an activity like a raid . From there , it 's easy to see if you 've encountered a shiny Pok ? mon due to its alternative colouring , the sparkles that appear when the encounter begins and the shiny icon next to the Pok ? mon 's name . Chansey and Blissey 's shinies have been available for a while - they were released back in February 2020 as part of the Valentine 's Day event , along with shiny Happiny . The issue is that getting a shiny Happiny can be quite tough , so if it 's on your to-catch list , make sure you make the most of this event 's quarter-hatch distance bonus ! You can see shiny Happiny , Chansey and Blissey below . Since shiny Chansey is going to be available in the wild , I must say is the one I 'm excited the most to find ? ? ? ? Like ? ? if you agree with me ? ? **26;261;TOOLONG As you can see , Happiny changes from peach to pink and purple . It 's a fairly subtle change , unlike Chansey , which simply turns around and says ' Ok , I 'm green now ' . The darker bits are a vivid green , with the lighter bits taking an almost tatami green . Blissey , meanwhile , decided it liked the subtlety of its first form and reverts to a super pale pink . It 's pretty much just a sun-bleached Blissey ; it 's so subtle that it 's quite a deflating shiny . If you want to evolve shiny Chansey or shiny Chansey , and want the exclusive move , we recommend waiting until after the event , where you will have until five hours ( until 10pm local time ) to evolve and gain the exclusive moves . This way you 'll have ample time to , hopefully , catch a couple of shiny Chansey , along with enough candy to evolve them , without having to worry about sorting through your collection at the same time . Remember , however , that if you want it for Gym defense , you 're better off waiting until after 10pm and trying to get Dazzling Gleam instead ! Community Days in Pok ? mon Go always come with a string of bonuses , and the December Community Day is no different . Some of these bonuses are always the same - like increased spawns and increased shiny rates . However , there is a rotating set of other bonuses that come with Community Days , such as double or triple catch Candy , Stardust or XP . Bonus 10 : Event-exclusive field research tasks with rewards including Pok ? mon encounters , Stardust and Great Balls . Joining up with your local Pok ? mon Go community might also lead you to finding rare event-exclusive tasks which reward Pok ? mon with Special Background encounters Bonus 11 : Pok ? Stop Showcases Bonus 12 : Event-exclusive 2km eggs which can hatch the following Pok ? mon Slowpoke Galarian Slowpoke Poliwag Togepi Wooper Paldean Wooper Timburr Axew Chespin Fennekin Froakie Grubbin Noibat Bonus 13 : Free Timed Research running from 9am ( local time ) on Saturday 21st December to 9pm ( local time ) on Sunday 22nd December , which will reward you with a Rainy Lure Module and Unova Stones Bonus 14 : Community Day Continued Timed Research running until Saturday 4th January at 9am ( local time ) , which will reward you with daily encounters with 2024 Community Day Pok ? mon who have Special Backgrounds . Must log into Pok ? mon Go during December Community Day event hours to claim Bonus 15 : The Special Background for Pok ? mon featured during 2024 Community Days Exclusive move for evolutions : Exclusive moves will be available for the Community Day Pok ? mon when evolving from 9am ( local time ) on Saturday 21st December to 9pm ( local time ) on Sunday 22nd December Hope you enjoy the December Community Day , and good luck finding a perfect shiny ! |

Arlecchino is a 5-Star Pyro character who is was added to Genshin Impact during version 4.6 . f While Arlecchino is featured as a boosted 5-Star character on her The Hearth 's Ashen Shadow Banner in version 5.3 , she will eventually return to Genshin Impact at some point in the future when the Banner schedule cycles back to her . If you want to prepare for if you Wish for her successfully , we 've listed Arlecchino 's Ascension materials and Talent materials so you can level her up to her full potential right away . To understand how you might play her , we 've also detailed Arlecchino 's kit and Constellations . When defeating an opponent with a Directive she applied , Arlecchino will be granted a Life Bond worth 130% of her maximum HP . Five seconds after a Directive is applied , it is upgraded to a Blood-Debt Due . When absorbed , it grants Arlecchino a Bond of Life worth 130% . A Bond of Life created in the aforementioned ways can not exceed the original limit on the value of Bonds of Life obtained through All is Ash . Passive three : Strength Alone Can Defend - Arlecchino gains 1% All Elemental and Physical Resistance for every 100 attack she has in excess of 1000 . The maximum Resistance increase she can gain this way for each is 20% . Arlecchino produces up to six consecutive strikes , and her plunging attack is just like any other ordinary plunge . Holding down the attack button , however , consumes stamina , and Arlecchino dashes toward a nearby opponent and cleaves once . Continuously holding the button causes Arlecchino to perform up to three seconds of high-speed movement . Additionally , when Arlecchino has a Bond of Life equal to , or greater than , 30% of her maximum HP , she will enter the Masque of the Red Death state , where her normal , charged , and plunging attacks are converted to deal Pyro damage , which ca n't be overridden . When in the Masque of the Red Death state , Arlecchino 's normal attacks deal extra damage to opponents on hit that scales off her attack multiplied by a certain ratio of her current Bond of Life percentage . This will consume 7.5% of said current Bond of Life . Her Bond of Life can be consumed this way every 0.03 seconds . When her Bond of Life is consumed in this manner , All is Ash 's cooldown will decrease by 0.8 seconds . Image credit : HoYoverse Arlecchino summons forth Balemoon Bloodfire , dealing Pyro damage to multiple nearby opponents and performing a dash-cleave against one of them , dealing AOE Pyro damage . Opponents hit by the aforementioned attack will have a Blood-Debt Directive applied to them . Blood-Debt Directive effects : Lasts 30 seconds , and every five seconds , it deals one instance of Pyro damage to the opponent for a maximum of two instances . This damage is considered Elemental Skill damage . When Arlecchino uses a charged attack or her Elemental Burst , she absorbs and clears nearby Blood-Debt Directives . Each Directive absorbed grants her a Bond of Life worth 65% of her maximum HP . The maximum value of the Bond of Life she can be granted through Blood-Debt Directives within 35s after using her Elemental Skill is 145% of her Max HP . Using the Elemental Skill again during this duration will restart the count on duration and the limit on the value of Bond of Life she may gain from Blood-Debt Directives . Arlecchino 's great wings of Balemoon Bloodfire beat as she absorbs and clears Blood-Debt Directives around her . She also deals AOE Pyro damage before clearing the cooldown of All is Ash , healing Arlecchino . Her healing is scaled from her Bond of Life value and attack stat . Lieutenant's-Insignia . To get the most out of using Arlecchino , you will have to level her skills up by using Talent materials , which vary from character-to-character . For Arlecchino , you 'll need to farm a lot of Insignia and Order materials ( if you do n't already have them ) to fully upgrade her capabilities . As Arlecchino has three Talents , you will have to spend three times the Talent materials listed below to fully upgrade all of her abilities , which we 've also detailed below the table . Here 's what Arlecchino Talent materials you need to improve one of her abilities : Just like Talents , you need to use Arlecchino Ascension materials to upgrade his health , attack , defence , and critical hit effectiveness . You 'll need to farm a lot of Rainbow Rose and Insignia materials for Arlecchino ( if you do n't already have them ) to fully upgrade her capabilities . Unlike Talent materials , you only need to spend the below Ascension materials once to fully raise Arlecchino to her highest character level . There is also Acquaint Fate rewarded for reaching certain Ascension levels . You can spend this Fate on the standard and beginner Banners to Wish for characters and weapons . Here 's what Arlecchino Ascension materials and Mora you need to upgrade her for each Ascension level : By getting duplicates of Arlecchino from wishing on her Banner , you will receive her Stella Fortuna . This material allows you to unlock Constellation levels , with each upgrade either improving an existing Talent or Passive ability . Image credit : HoYoverse Here are all of Arlecchino 's Constellations in Genshin Impact : " All Reprisals and Arrears Are Mine to Bear ... " ( C1 ) : Masque of the Red Death is further enhanced by 100% . Additionally , Arlecchino 's interruption resistance is increased when she performs normal and charged attacks while affected by the Masque of the Red Death . " All Rewards and Retribution , Mine to Bestow ... " ( C2 ) : Blood-Debt Directives are now already Blood-Debt Due when first applied . When Arlecchino absorbs such a Due , she unleashes Balemoon Bloodfire in front of her , dealing 900% of her attack as AOE Pyro damage and increasing her All Elemental Resistance and Physical Resistance by 20% for 15 seconds . This effect can trigger once every 10 seconds . You must first unlock the Passive Talent Agony Alone May Be Repaid . " You Shall Become a New Member of Our Family ... " ( C3 ) : Increases the Level of Arlecchino 's normal attack by three , with a maximum upgrade level of 15 . " You Shall Love and Protect Each Other Henceforth ... " ( C4 ) : When Arlecchino successfully absorbs a Blood-Debt Directive , Balemoon Rising 's cooldown is decreased by two seconds and 15 Energy is restored to Arlecchino . This effect can occur once every 10 seconds . " For Alone , We Are as Good as Dead ... " ( C5 ) : Increases the Level of Arlecchino 's Elemental Burst by three , with a maximum upgrade level of 15 . " From This Day On , We Shall Delight in New Life Together . " ( C6 ) : The damage of Balemoon Rising is increased by Arlecchino 's attack multiplied by 700% of her current Life Bond percentage . For 20 seconds after Arlecchino uses her Elemental Skill , both her normal and Elemental Burst attacks gain 10% increased Crit Rate and 70% increased Crit Damage . This effect can be triggered up to once every 15 seconds . All the best levelling up Arlecchino in Genshin Impact !

When not damaging her vocal cords , Jessica likes stressing over her inventory in RPGs , and getting lost in open worlds . |

Heating your home can be costly in winter , but one appliance can really ramp up the bills Andy Ellis from Posh.co.uk has shared a savvy tip to help keep household costs down during the frosty months : " Winter can be a difficult time for homeowners , as the festivities and colder evenings often result in higher bills . " By considering your energy consumption at home , you can identify effective ways to save throughout the season . " His prime advice is to give the tumble dryer a miss , which could pocket you a saving of up to ? 50 annually . He points out that heat-generating appliances are expensive , so opting out of using the tumble dryer will keep more money in your wallet . Instead , air-drying clothes , perhaps on a rack , is a thrifty alternative . Andy also highlights other smart moves like insulating rooms and blocking draughts to cut costs : " There are simple yet cost effective ways to reduce your energy bills this winter , through insulating rooms and sealing draughts , families can enjoy a warm and comfortable home without the added heating bill to worry about . " He stresses the significance of efficient heating : " Maximising the efficiency of your heating when it 's on is essential for families to stay warm during winter without raising energy costs . " Ditch the tumble drier this winter ( Image : Getty ) Additionally , turning down the water heater slightly can also trim energy expenses , reports the Express . Air trapped in radiators can cause cold spots and reduce efficiency . Regularly bleeding your radiators ensures they perform at their best , improving heating and saving you money . |

It involves the verb 'get' with an NP object 'a kick', followed by 'out of seeing various landmarks', which does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The NP object 'a kick' does not function as a causee, and the construction does not align with the semantic requirements of the transitive out of -ing construction.

As the year winds down , most of us are ready to enjoy celebrating Christmas before another year begins . Everyone has their own favourite part of the festive season , whether it 's the yummy food , the socialising , or the presents . For a lot of us , nothing can beat sitting back and watching a heartwarming Christmas movie . There is no shortage of Christmas classics out there , from It 's A Wonderful Life to Love Actually , but there are also plenty of hidden gems that you might not have even heard of . What 's even better is that many of these were either filmed in or are set in Scotland . While most of them may not compare to the more iconic festive movies , they are still worth a watch . If nothing else , it is always fun watching English or American actors trying - and usually failing - to do a Scottish accent . Read on for the Daily Record 's guide to eight of the best Scottish Christmas movies you can stream or rent this week . A Castle For Christmas ( Image : Netflix ) This Netflix romantic comedy caused quite a stir amongst Scots when it was released back in 2021 , with many criticising the actors ' Scottish accents and poor grasp of the country 's geography . However , for a lot of us , all of that is simply part of the charm . A Castle for Christmas stars American actress Brooke Shields as a bestselling author who flies out to Scotland to escape a scandal , coming into conflict with a grumpy duke , played by Cary Elwes . Recognisable filming locations include Dalmeny House near Edinburgh and Culross in Fife . Where to stream : Netflix Originally released in 2019 , Christmas in the Highlands features everything that you could want out of a Christmas movie : cheesy acting , an unrealistically happy ending , and plenty of beautiful Scottish scenery . Much of the film takes place at Glamis Castle in Angus , which was the childhood home of Queen Elizabeth , The Queen Mother , while other locations include the Edinburgh Christmas Market and Tayside 's Christmas Tree Farm . The plot sees New York sales manager Blair sent to the Highlands at Christmas to obtain a limited-edition perfume from dashing aristocrat Alistair . Over the course of the movie , her priorities change as she finds herself enamoured with the stubborn nobleman . Where to stream : Amazon The Princess Switch : Switched Again ( Image : Netflix ) If you have never heard of The Princess Switch series on Netflix , you are missing out . Starring High School Musical actress Vanessa Hudgens as not one but three different characters , the movies are the perfect blend of feel-good fun and festive silliness . Much of the second film in the trilogy takes place at Hopetoun House in South Queensferry , which stands in for the fictional Montenaro Castle . As we previously reported , you can even rent out a cottage on the estate for a one-of-a-kind staycation . Where to stream : Netflix This aptly-named movie was released just last year , so you might not have even heard of it .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It involves the verb 'get' with an NP object 'a kick', and the phrase 'out of seeing various landmarks' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The NP object 'a kick' does not function as a causee, and the overall meaning does not align with the construction's properties.

As the year winds down , most of us are ready to enjoy celebrating Christmas before another year begins . Everyone has their own favourite part of the festive season , whether it 's the yummy food , the socialising , or the presents . For a lot of us , nothing can beat sitting back and watching a heartwarming Christmas movie . There is no shortage of Christmas classics out there , from It 's A Wonderful Life to Love Actually , but there are also plenty of hidden gems that you might not have even heard of . What 's even better is that many of these were either filmed in or are set in Scotland . While most of them may not compare to the more iconic festive movies , they are still worth a watch . If nothing else , it is always fun watching English or American actors trying - and usually failing - to do a Scottish accent . Read on for the Daily Record 's guide to eight of the best Scottish Christmas movies you can stream or rent this week . A Castle For Christmas ( Image : Netflix ) This Netflix romantic comedy caused quite a stir amongst Scots when it was released back in 2021 , with many criticising the actors ' Scottish accents and poor grasp of the country 's geography . However , for a lot of us , all of that is simply part of the charm . A Castle for Christmas stars American actress Brooke Shields as a bestselling author who flies out to Scotland to escape a scandal , coming into conflict with a grumpy duke , played by Cary Elwes . Recognisable filming locations include Dalmeny House near Edinburgh and Culross in Fife . Where to stream : Netflix Originally released in 2019 , Christmas in the Highlands features everything that you could want out of a Christmas movie : cheesy acting , an unrealistically happy ending , and plenty of beautiful Scottish scenery . Much of the film takes place at Glamis Castle in Angus , which was the childhood home of Queen Elizabeth , The Queen Mother , while other locations include the Edinburgh Christmas Market and Tayside 's Christmas Tree Farm . The plot sees New York sales manager Blair sent to the Highlands at Christmas to obtain a limited-edition perfume from dashing aristocrat Alistair . Over the course of the movie , her priorities change as she finds herself enamoured with the stubborn nobleman . Where to stream : Amazon The Princess Switch : Switched Again ( Image : Netflix ) If you have never heard of The Princess Switch series on Netflix , you are missing out . Starring High School Musical actress Vanessa Hudgens as not one but three different characters , the movies are the perfect blend of feel-good fun and festive silliness . Much of the second film in the trilogy takes place at Hopetoun House in South Queensferry , which stands in for the fictional Montenaro Castle . As we previously reported , you can even rent out a cottage on the estate for a one-of-a-kind staycation . Where to stream : Netflix This aptly-named movie was released just last year , so you might not have even heard of it . It is about an installation designer who travels to Scotland , where she clashes with a prickly local heir over a festive light display . Christmas in Scotland is about as predictable as you can get , but is nonetheless a fun watch . Dundas Castle in West Lothian , Edinburgh 's Princes Street Gardens , and the Fife village of Limekilns are among the Scots locations where filming took place .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'taking the stigma out of talking about money', where 'talking about money' is a gerund phrase modifying 'stigma', not a VP2[-ing] predicate with a causee object. Additionally, there is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either movement/extraction or prevention.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object between the verb 'taking' and 'out of talking about money too'. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the construction. Instead, it seems to be about removing stigma from a topic, which is a different semantic context.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It describes actions (stepping out, sharing embraces, penning autographs, wishing) but does not involve a transitive verb with an object and an out of -ing clause that induces either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('the Republican') + V1 ('started') + NP object ('legal proceedings') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('doing my job'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the action of starting legal proceedings is intended to prevent Mr. Stephanopoulos from doing his job. The verb 'started' can be seen as a means to achieve a goal, fitting into the classification of verbs that appear in the V1 slot. The NP object 'legal proceedings' is not a causee, but the context implies that the subject ('the Republican') is attempting to influence Mr. Stephanopoulos (the causee) indirectly. This aligns with the atypical types of NP objects allowed in the construction.

When Brian Ross , the ABC News journalist , made a mistake while reporting on Russian involvement in Donald Trump 's presidential campaign , he was quickly suspended by the network . The veteran journalist was taken off air for four weeks in 2017 without pay when he claimed that Michael Flynn , Mr Trump 's former national security adviser , would testify that his boss directed him to make contact with Russian officials during the White House race . Mr Ross , who left ABC just a few months later , is one of a number of correspondents who have been suspended for making false or biased statements . David Wright , another journalist , was caught in a sting operation in Feb 2020 where he compared Mr Trump to a " nightmare spouse that you ca n't win an argument with " . He was swiftly suspended and later reassigned from political coverage by the network . The same year , ABC suspended Matt Gutman , their chief national correspondent , when he inaccurately reported that all four of Kobe Bryant 's children had died in the helicopter crash that killed the basketball player , instead of one . Yet star anchor George Stephanopoulos , who earlier this year falsely claimed that Mr Trump had been found liable for rape in a civil case , has not been suspended , sacked , or even issued an on-air apology . In fact , the former Bill Clinton operative this month is reported to have agreed a multi-million-dollar contract extension despite tensions in the newsroom . According to reports , colleagues are frustrated at his star treatment while his ratings lag behind those of his competitors . Mr Trump launched defamation proceedings against ABC following Mr Stephanopoulos 's incorrect claims , which it has just settled for $15 million . The Good Morning America and This Week host is rumoured to earn between $18 million and $25 million . ABC may now be asking whether its star anchor really represents value for money . Things began to unravel in March when Mr Stephanopoulos interviewed congresswoman Nancy Mace , who has previously spoken about being a victim of rape . How could she support Mr Trump when he had been " found liable for rape " and subsequently defamed " the victim of that rape " , he asked ? The trouble was that although the president-elect had been accused of rape by magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll , he was not found liable in either of her two lawsuits . He was found liable last year of sexually assaulting the columnist in New York in 1996 and later defaming her . Mr Trump was ordered to pay an additional $83.3 million over the defamation claims . The judge clarified that Ms Carroll had not " failed to prove that Mr Trump ' raped ' her as many people commonly understand the word ' rape ' " , citing New York 's narrow legal definition of the offence . Under New York law at the time , " rape " defined as non-consensual vaginal penetration by a penis . The definition has since been broadened to include other non-consensual sexual contact . According to the New York Post , Mr Stephanopolous had been repeatedly warned by his executive producer before going on-air not to use the word " rape " . Mr Stephanopoulos was defiant when the Republican started legal proceedings in March , telling talk show host Stephen Clobert that he would not be " cowed out of doing my job because of a threat " . That defiance ended on Saturday when ABC News agreed to pay $15 million to settle the defamation claim . It also added a statement on the article covering Ms Mace 's interview , saying : " ABC News and George Stephanopoulos regret statements regarding president Donald J. Trump made during an interview by George Stephanopoulos with Rep. Nancy Mace on ABC 's This Week on March 10 , 2024 . " A source told the New York Post that Mr Stephanopoulos was furious at being forced to issue an apology . He is said to have been blindsided by the move , which was apparently given the green light by the boss of ABC 's parent company , Disney chief executive Bob Iger . Regardless , the costly gaffe by a well-paid host will hardly have improved his reputation around the ABC offices . Some also fear that the public admission by ABC and Mr Stephanopoulos will embolden Mr Trump to embark on further legal action against news outlets . The president-elect is already suing CBS News over its editing of a Kamala Harris interview , the Pulitzer board for awarding prizes to the New York Times and the Washington post for alleged " false reporting of a non-existent link between the Kremlin and the Trump campaign " , and veteran journalist Bob Woodward among others . As if to prove the point , two days later Mr Trump announced he would take legal action against the Des Moines Register and pollster J. Ann Selzer , after she predicted Mr Trump would lose Iowa in the presidential election . The fallout from Mr Stephanopoulos 's rape gaffe is likely to have inflamed existing tensions at ABC News between its top echelons and other journalists . Earlier this month , the 63-year-old agreed a new multi-year contract with ABC News that is roughly in line with his previous multi-million-dollar deal , NewsNation reported . It comes at a time when most broadcasters are slashing their budgets -- Rachel Maddow , the MSNBC flagship host is reported to have had her salary slashed amid reports of declining viewership . " People are fine with the big interviews going to David Muir , " A source said " There 's no reason to keep paying George so much money . Those days are over . " Days before Ms Harris reached the top of the Democratic ticket , George Stephanopoulos said on-camera that he did not believe Mr Biden could serve another four years in the White House following his disastrous debate performance . The gaffe frustrated many in the ABC newsroom , who believed that he should have remained neutral on the matter , The Wall Street Journal reported . In the past , ABC has dealt uncompromisingly with journalists who make mistakes regarding inaccuracy or bias . When Mr Ross made his mistake and was suspended , ABC issued a statement saying : " We deeply regret and apologise for the serious error " , adding that the reporting " had not been fully vetted through our editorial standards process " . But for Mr Stephanopoulos , a measure of stardom and desire by executives to keep an anchor on-side who mulled leaving for greener pastures in 2020 seems to have insulated him from those same lofty standards . The following day he was back on the air on " This Week " , where the defamation settlement went unmentioned . ABC held firm for months until its belated mea culpa , which , according to the Journal , its reporters see as an attempt by Disney to protect its corporate interests and access to the White House . The Wall Street Journal reports that some believe it means he carries " unnecessary reputational and legal baggage " . At the same time , his stewardship of Good Morning America has seen its rating fall behind NBC 's Today in the time slot . Any other network that has been trimming the salaries of its top talent , like CNN or NBC , would be questioning whether Mr Stephanopoulos -- who earns millions of dollars and has cost millions more with the defamation settlement -- is a luxury they can afford . Judging by the deal he is reported to have agreed this month , this has not yet occurred to ABC . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'opt out of anything they like' involves an NP ('anything they like') as a complement of the complex preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no causer-causee relationship or a movement/extraction/prevention interpretation.

Sometimes we have cereal for dinner , there are pants drying on the radiator , the dog sleeps on the bed , you 've got the thermostat set to 100 degrees , just the way you like it , and each evening is a festival of sobbing through David Attenborough documentaries interspersed with hate-watching one of the Real Housewives shows and congratulating yourself that however bad it gets , at least you 're not turning over tables in restaurants or falling into a hedge after too many margaritas .

It 's a lot of pressure and , honestly , most of it we put on ourselves . A couple of years ago , I swapped my life in London for a quieter life in a French village by the sea .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'opt out of' followed by a noun phrase 'anything they like', not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'get out of' followed by a gerund phrase 'presenting Sports Personality', which does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee. Additionally, it lacks the movement/extraction or prevention interpretation characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

In November , it was revealed that after a 23-year stint , Lineker would no longer present the famed ceremony . This development came hot on the heels of the announcement that he would also be stepping down from his role as host of Match of the Day at the end of the 2024/25 Premier League season . Despite these changes , Lineker is set to continue his relationship with the BBC , having agreed to a new deal that will see him leading the coverage for both the FA Cup and the 2026 World Cup . And the 64-year-old has now explained that he decided to quit hosting Sports Personality of the Year after an independent production company took over the ceremony . " Just to make it clear , what happened with Sports Personality of the Year is that it went to an independent production company , " Lineker explained on The Rest Is Football podcast . " It was granted at the start of the year . " Now , I saw that as an opportunity to get out of presenting Sports Personality . It 's a great show , but it 's the one TV gig that I never really enjoyed . " Lineker also revealed that Des Lynam , who previously hosted both Match of the Day and Sports Personality of the Year , had the same view . " It 's a very strange show to do , " he added . " Also , it 's the one thing where every single word that you say on it has to be agreed by all parties at the BBC . Every single interview you do , you have to say what questions you 're going to ask . I mean , I like to ad-lib , I like to go off-piste .

Reflecting on her remarkable journey , Hodgkinson expressed her gratitude . " It 's been incredible this year for me , " she said . " I 'm so grateful for everyone voting . And I hope everyone loved watching Paris as much as I loved competing in it . You look down the list of past winners - not just in track and field - British icons .

It 's quite something when the sweaters your company has designed and knitted are seen by 15.5 million people on prime-time TV on Christmas Day . Especially when your company is a small enterprise based on a tiny island in Orkney , and started out making crochet Granny squares . The Isle of Sanday Knitters ( IOSK ) must have felt they 'd truly arrived when Neil Morrissey and Martin Clunes each wore a Christmas jumper specially designed and made for them by IOSK in the 1997 Christmas special of Men Behaving Badly . Sandra Towrie , IOSK 's main hand-knit designer at that point , made Neil Morrisey 's while her fellow knitter , the late Hilda Davis made ' Doc Martin 's ' as she later called it . Looking back these days , Sandra says she remembers having to churn the jumpers out at very short notice , and is relieved they were traditional style rather than the ' lurid ' ones of today . Originally from Shetland , Sandra had been knitting since she was knee-high , and could copy and/or design a pattern and then write it up in multiple sizes with ease . At the time of the famous Christmas jumpers , she had spent more than 20 years with IOSK , and was then chairwoman of the board of directors . During that time , several hundred knitters were involved , paid per garment , but it varied according to what else was going on on the island . Sandra said : " It was difficult to maintain production in the spring and summer . " Some knitters regularly produced six hand knitted sweaters a month for years , others only knitted if they wanted to buy something . Sigurd sweaters were turned out in their thousands by the Isle of Sanday Knitters . Image : Wendy Fletcher " Thousands of the more popular lines such as the Icelandic yoke and picture-front sweaters were knitted . " Two years after its Christmas jumper triumph , IOSK was wound up amid rapidly changing times , and is now an almost forgotten slice of Sanday -- and fashion -- history . Realising that memories of IOSK were receding like the tide on the island 's shores , Sandra fell prey to the " someone should write a book about this " syndrome and then found herself to be that " someone " when she became custodian of the Isle of Sanday Knitters archive . When funding came forward from the Northern Isles Landscape Partnership Scheme , Sandra had to get on with it . How to Knit a Bathroom is the result , a charming book describing a long-disappeared era in Sanday , when women could knit their way to that new bathroom , TV or holiday . Sandra , now a retired teacher , said : " I got delved into all the boxes and got out the minute books . " I talked to people of my age , in their 70s who can remember things and out it came . " It 's hard to credit how different life was in islands like Sanday in the ' 70s . Sandra said : " When I first came here as a newlywed from Shetland in 1972 , we did n't have mains electricity . " You had to start the diesel generator to run your twin-tub washing machine or do a bit of hoovering , watch TV or anything like that . " Women were no strangers to hard , unpaid work around the farm and in the home . There were few opportunities for paid employment , so in those days pin money might come from selling surplus cheese , butter and eggs from the farm . But in the evenings it was the culture to sit down and knit for the family . Women in the Northern Isles had knitting in their blood , and it was this culture that enabled IOSK to grow and thrive . Two things happened to prompt the formation of IOSK . A new teacher arrived , Ron Baker , with his wife Mary . Although not a knitter herself , Mary would play a pivotal role in the development of the company . She noted how skilled the Sanday women were , knitting , crocheting , spinning wool , embroidering , making tapestries and sewing of all sorts , from the day-to-day necessity of patching overalls and darning socks to the highly-skilled fitting and tailoring of a dress for a dance or wedding . Sandra says : " She also noticed how they uncomplainingly used their talents and abilities to contribute to the household economy without expecting any monetary gain for themselves . " The next turning point came when Mary 's daughter came to visit in 1969 , bringing with her a copy of Pins & Needles magazine . Clothing like this long waistcoast made from ' Granny squares ' was very popular in the 60s and 70s . Image : Vintage XpressAU Flicking through it , Mary noticed a company , Village Squares , advertising for outworkers to produce crochet squares for garments -- very fashionable at the time . Mary applied and got an order for 1400 squares , at 6d per square . She recruited some two dozen knitters , the orders continued to flood in , the list of knitters grew , and eventually some 3,000 Granny squares as they were called , left the island for the world of fashion . Some knitters earned the equivalent today of ? 75 or more . Sandra says : " So the idea was born that the handiwork that was generally taken for granted could become a source of income . " Once the Granny squares orders dried up , the women knitted a small collection of Norwegian inspired sweaters , and the redoubtable Mary Baker took them to show Sir Hugh Fraser of House of Fraser . After starting out knitting Granny squares , the Isle of Sanday Knitters made Norwegian-style tunics for a while . Image : Sandra Towrie " She tipped the contents of a suitcase onto his desk and asked if he could sell such garments in his store . Presumably he liked what he saw because he placed a small order and the Sanday Knitters Association came into being . " Now the company started to be taken seriously . With grant funding from the Highlands and Islands Development Board to become a co-operative in 1974 , Isle of Sanday Knitters ( Orkney ) Ltd was born , with shares offered at ? 1 and a dividend promised at the end of the year . IOSK got its own London agents , Wylie and Thorne and started knitting for designer Edy Lyngaas , not to mention an almost-contract for Alexander McQueen , the enfant terrible of the fashion scene in the late 90s . McQueen had sent them instructions for a knitted denim dress which taxed even the most experienced knitters . " It had to be knitted from denim dress fabric cut into strips 1-2cm wide , not a material which could be purchased from any yarn supplier , " Sandra says . " It had to be knitted on needles made out of dowling and had a tendency to fray . " Some thought it might do to line a dog basket , others a doormat for inside the back door . " Despite their best efforts , the dress sank without trace once it made its way to McQueen . Sandra spent the 1980s busy knitting , designing and excitingly , attending trade fairs all over the world until her youngest child went to school and she returned to teaching . Her skill as a designer prompted HIDB to offer her a scholarship to study knitwear design at the RCA in London for a year , where her tutor , John Allen encouraged her to develop her own Sandra Towrie range for IOSK . Then in a new pinnacle , Sandra was asked to designed a pattern for Woman 's Weekly magazine in 1994 . More than a thousand orders for the kits flooded in from around the world bringing in ? 7,000 profit for the company . By the early 1990s , more job opportunities were opening up for the island women , and fewer people on the islands were knitting , which meant orders had to be outsourced to other parts of the country . " Our London agents were still securing orders , but it was becoming increasingly difficult to find enough knitters to complete them , " Sandra said . " On at least one occasion we had to ask the customer to accept about half of the order because it was impossible to produce the remainder in time . " Alongside this , long-standing UK customers found they could source similar products more cheaply from China . " Exchange rates were another potentially devastating variable , as was the crash in the Far East economy in the late 1990s . There were no more grants to go to trade fairs .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes the material (dowling) used to make needles and does not involve a causee or a VP[-ing] predicate with movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

It 's quite something when the sweaters your company has designed and knitted are seen by 15.5 million people on prime-time TV on Christmas Day . Especially when your company is a small enterprise based on a tiny island in Orkney , and started out making crochet Granny squares . The Isle of Sanday Knitters ( IOSK ) must have felt they 'd truly arrived when Neil Morrissey and Martin Clunes each wore a Christmas jumper specially designed and made for them by IOSK in the 1997 Christmas special of Men Behaving Badly . Sandra Towrie , IOSK 's main hand-knit designer at that point , made Neil Morrisey 's while her fellow knitter , the late Hilda Davis made ' Doc Martin 's ' as she later called it . Looking back these days , Sandra says she remembers having to churn the jumpers out at very short notice , and is relieved they were traditional style rather than the ' lurid ' ones of today . Originally from Shetland , Sandra had been knitting since she was knee-high , and could copy and/or design a pattern and then write it up in multiple sizes with ease . At the time of the famous Christmas jumpers , she had spent more than 20 years with IOSK , and was then chairwoman of the board of directors . During that time , several hundred knitters were involved , paid per garment , but it varied according to what else was going on on the island . Sandra said : " It was difficult to maintain production in the spring and summer . " Some knitters regularly produced six hand knitted sweaters a month for years , others only knitted if they wanted to buy something . Sigurd sweaters were turned out in their thousands by the Isle of Sanday Knitters . Image : Wendy Fletcher " Thousands of the more popular lines such as the Icelandic yoke and picture-front sweaters were knitted . " Two years after its Christmas jumper triumph , IOSK was wound up amid rapidly changing times , and is now an almost forgotten slice of Sanday -- and fashion -- history . Realising that memories of IOSK were receding like the tide on the island 's shores , Sandra fell prey to the " someone should write a book about this " syndrome and then found herself to be that " someone " when she became custodian of the Isle of Sanday Knitters archive . When funding came forward from the Northern Isles Landscape Partnership Scheme , Sandra had to get on with it . How to Knit a Bathroom is the result , a charming book describing a long-disappeared era in Sanday , when women could knit their way to that new bathroom , TV or holiday . Sandra , now a retired teacher , said : " I got delved into all the boxes and got out the minute books . " I talked to people of my age , in their 70s who can remember things and out it came . " It 's hard to credit how different life was in islands like Sanday in the ' 70s . Sandra said : " When I first came here as a newlywed from Shetland in 1972 , we did n't have mains electricity . " You had to start the diesel generator to run your twin-tub washing machine or do a bit of hoovering , watch TV or anything like that . " Women were no strangers to hard , unpaid work around the farm and in the home . There were few opportunities for paid employment , so in those days pin money might come from selling surplus cheese , butter and eggs from the farm . But in the evenings it was the culture to sit down and knit for the family . Women in the Northern Isles had knitting in their blood , and it was this culture that enabled IOSK to grow and thrive . Two things happened to prompt the formation of IOSK . A new teacher arrived , Ron Baker , with his wife Mary . Although not a knitter herself , Mary would play a pivotal role in the development of the company . She noted how skilled the Sanday women were , knitting , crocheting , spinning wool , embroidering , making tapestries and sewing of all sorts , from the day-to-day necessity of patching overalls and darning socks to the highly-skilled fitting and tailoring of a dress for a dance or wedding . Sandra says : " She also noticed how they uncomplainingly used their talents and abilities to contribute to the household economy without expecting any monetary gain for themselves . " The next turning point came when Mary 's daughter came to visit in 1969 , bringing with her a copy of Pins & Needles magazine . Clothing like this long waistcoast made from ' Granny squares ' was very popular in the 60s and 70s . Image : Vintage XpressAU Flicking through it , Mary noticed a company , Village Squares , advertising for outworkers to produce crochet squares for garments -- very fashionable at the time . Mary applied and got an order for 1400 squares , at 6d per square . She recruited some two dozen knitters , the orders continued to flood in , the list of knitters grew , and eventually some 3,000 Granny squares as they were called , left the island for the world of fashion . Some knitters earned the equivalent today of ? 75 or more . Sandra says : " So the idea was born that the handiwork that was generally taken for granted could become a source of income . " Once the Granny squares orders dried up , the women knitted a small collection of Norwegian inspired sweaters , and the redoubtable Mary Baker took them to show Sir Hugh Fraser of House of Fraser . After starting out knitting Granny squares , the Isle of Sanday Knitters made Norwegian-style tunics for a while . Image : Sandra Towrie " She tipped the contents of a suitcase onto his desk and asked if he could sell such garments in his store . Presumably he liked what he saw because he placed a small order and the Sanday Knitters Association came into being . " Now the company started to be taken seriously . With grant funding from the Highlands and Islands Development Board to become a co-operative in 1974 , Isle of Sanday Knitters ( Orkney ) Ltd was born , with shares offered at ? 1 and a dividend promised at the end of the year . IOSK got its own London agents , Wylie and Thorne and started knitting for designer Edy Lyngaas , not to mention an almost-contract for Alexander McQueen , the enfant terrible of the fashion scene in the late 90s . McQueen had sent them instructions for a knitted denim dress which taxed even the most experienced knitters . " It had to be knitted from denim dress fabric cut into strips 1-2cm wide , not a material which could be purchased from any yarn supplier , " Sandra says . " It had to be knitted on needles made out of dowling and had a tendency to fray . " Some thought it might do to line a dog basket , others a doormat for inside the back door . " Despite their best efforts , the dress sank without trace once it made its way to McQueen . Sandra spent the 1980s busy knitting , designing and excitingly , attending trade fairs all over the world until her youngest child went to school and she returned to teaching . Her skill as a designer prompted HIDB to offer her a scholarship to study knitwear design at the RCA in London for a year , where her tutor , John Allen encouraged her to develop her own Sandra Towrie range for IOSK . Then in a new pinnacle , Sandra was asked to designed a pattern for Woman 's Weekly magazine in 1994 . More than a thousand orders for the kits flooded in from around the world bringing in ? 7,000 profit for the company . By the early 1990s , more job opportunities were opening up for the island women , and fewer people on the islands were knitting , which meant orders had to be outsourced to other parts of the country . " Our London agents were still securing orders , but it was becoming increasingly difficult to find enough knitters to complete them , " Sandra said . " On at least one occasion we had to ask the customer to accept about half of the order because it was impossible to produce the remainder in time . " Alongside this , long-standing UK customers found they could source similar products more cheaply from China . " Exchange rates were another potentially devastating variable , as was the crash in the Far East economy in the late 1990s . There were no more grants to go to trade fairs . In 1999 , the board of IOSK unanimously decided the time had come to wind up the company . Sandra Towrie is grateful for the experience IOSK gave her . image : Sandra Towrie .

Controversial plans for new padel courts , floodlights and canopy covers in Cheltenham have been given the go-ahead despite concerns it will be a " hideous eyesore " blocking the view of the Cotswold escarpment . East Gloucestershire Club has been granted permission by Cheltenham Borough Council to go ahead with the works at their Old Bath Road site . Their scheme , which was considered by the planning committee on December 19 , includes a new fabric canopy to cover the existing three padel courts , construction of four new outdoor courts with floodlighting in place of a grass tennis court . Several members of the public spoke at the Municipal Offices against the proposals . There were more than 90 objections lodged against the proposals while more than 110 people wrote in support . John Caines , one of the objectors , said he was horrified by the impact and the scale of similar plans in Bicester . He said the view of the Cotswold escarpment would be blocked by the covers which would be higher than a two storey house and are entirely out of keeping with the area . He asked : " How do citizens in Benhall , St Marks , Swindon Village , benefit from these extra courts in an exclusive private members club in an affluent area on the other side of town ? " He also said there was little consultation but rather a public announcement . " The scale , location , covers were all fixed and most of the meeting was taken up with why they could not be changed , " he said . " If you could not sit in your garden on a summer 's evening , or even open your windows for what the Financial Times called the cacophonous wallop of padel being played , you would be objecting too . " A computer generated image of how the development will look ( Image : East Gloucestershire Club ) John Gilden , secretary of Cheltenham Croquet Club , also spoke against the proposals at the meeting . He said both clubs , which are neighbours , have been amicable neighbours for more than a hundred years . Mr Gilden said their main concern was the structure on the boundary between both clubs which is about 8.5 metres high and 24 metres long . " That is more than the height of a two storey house and more than the width of two houses , " he said . " The footprint is 36 metres by 24 metres . More than three times that of a double tennis court . This is an enormous structure having no architectural merit which will more than obscure the view from our club towards the Cotswold escarpment . " He said their concerns were about more than just the introduction of a " hideous eyesore " . Mr Gilden the plans eroded the vistas in the conservation area and towards the Cotswolds . Andrea Butland , chair of the East Gloucestershire Club , spoke in favour of the plans and said they currently have more than 2,100 members with ages ranging from three to 91 . She said the club has been in existence since 1883 and have always played a prominent part in the sport " We are a major racket sports club in the district and we hold county , regional and national events in tennis , squash and now padel . Google Earth image of the East Gloucestershire Club site . The proposed development site is outlined in red ( Image : CBC ) " East Glos is a community amateur sports club , non-profit making and we take the community bit very seriously . " We have discounted membership for those on low incomes , non-members can pay and play any sport and take part in all our coaching activities . " She said the club does outreach work with primary schools and host disability sport events . They introduced padel in 2021 which serves as an introductory game for anyone wishing to take up racket sports . She said they were delighted the sport has added a new cohort of young people and families to the club . Ms Butland said the covers for the padel courts are essential for high level competition as rain makes play difficult . She said they have listened to concerns and amended their plans and have only had one complaint from neighbours about playing padel . " The canopy will reduce the noise from the existing courts and the new courts in the centre of the site are further away from our neighbours and we have added acoustic barriers . " East Gloucestershire Club has been granted permission by Cheltenham Borough Council to go ahead with the works at their Old Bath Road site . ( Image : East Gloucestershire Club ) Ward councillor Paul Baker ( LD , Charlton Park ) said it gave him no pleasure to oppose the plans of the " much-respected " East Glos Club . But he said he came to the conclusion he could not support the application and said it was a shame both clubs could not work together . " The proposed construction can only be described as obtrusive and out of keeping with the conservation area . It is indeed a blot on the landscape . " During the debate , Councillors Simon Wheeler ( LD , Hesters Way ) and Frank Allen ( LD , Swindon Village ) said the scheme 's benefits outweighed the negatives . And Cllr Adrian Bamford ( LD , Up Hatherley ) said outdoor sport should be encouraged but said the report presented a " pretty grim blot " from the proposed structures and would not support the application . Councillor Barbara Clark ( LD , All Saints ) said she was very impressed with the club 's ethos but echoed Cllr Bamford 's concerns . " It 's a beautiful view . I 'm concerned if we approve this in a year 's time there will be another application to cover more courts , " she said . Officers recommended granting permission . The committee voted to approve the scheme by five votes to four with one abstention . Story Saved You can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right . |

OXFORD United will spend Christmas Day in the Sky Bet Championship relegation zone after succumbing to a heavy defeat at Leeds United . The U 's were swatted aside by a dominant Whites side , who won 4-0 at Elland Road . The result condemned United to a place in the bottom three for the first time this season , with wins for Hull City and Portsmouth earlier in the day sending the U 's into the danger zone . Dan James gave Leeds an early lead at Elland Road , before three goals in a 16-minute spell from Jayden Bogle , Brenden Aaronson and Manor Solomon saw the Whites out of sight . It was United 's first game after the sacking of Des Buckingham , with new head coach Gary Rowett watching from the stands , and he will almost certainly have left Elland Road with a better impression of the job he has on his hands in trying to restore belief in a team so clearly struggling . Craig Short , in interim charge of the side for the afternoon following Buckingham 's dismissal , made three changes to the side which lost 3-1 at home to Sheffield Wednesday . Will Vaulks , Przemyslaw Placheta and Mark Harris were restored to the starting line-up , as Idris El Mizouni , Ruben Rodrigues and Dane Scarlett dropped to the bench . The home side dominated the opening 45 minutes , although the U 's did have a couple of promising moments , particularly early on . It was the Whites who had the first sight of goal though , as an Ao Tanaka strike from the edge of the penalty box skimmed the sidenetting on its way wide with a minute on the clock . Placheta found himself in a good area at the other end , but he took too long to make a decision on the ball , and his indecisiveness saw him crowded out . The Whites then ruthlessly went up the other end and opened the scoring . A rapid counter-attack saw Manor Solomon burst into the left channel of the box and cross for opposite winger James , who had the simple task of tapping in unmarked from close range at the far post . But just three minutes later , United were presented with a glorious chance . Owen Dale slid the ball through for Placheta , with the winger beating the offside trap , but then blazing horribly off target when in on goal against Illan Meslier . It was a huge miss , and from that point on in the first half , the Whites were firmly in control . Former U 's midfielder Joe Rothwell directed a right-footed volley wide from 20 yards , while Aaronson lined up a 25-yard shot which sailed over the crossbar . The wild and windy conditions at Elland Road had caused mischief from set pieces , with the ball refusing to stay still from corners , free kicks and goal kicks , and on half an hour , the breeze almost deceived Jamie Cumming in the United goal . James cut in from the right-hand side onto his left foot and his low strike got a little caught in the wind , but Cumming reacted well and made a good low stop . Joel Piroe was then patient with his back to goal in the box , waiting for the right chance before getting his shot away , and the low effort almost found the bottom corner , only for Cumming to get down and match the low strike . Tanaka then struck across goal from 20 yards out and almost found the opposite corner with his low right-footed effort . The last action of the first half actually saw goalmouth action at the other end . Deep into added time , a long throw-in from Vaulks caused a problem in the area and Tyler Goodrham headed narrowly over the bar from a deep position in the box . At the start of the second period , the U 's had another decent chance to pull themselves level as Goodrham whipped in a free kick and Ciaron Brown crashed a header wide at the near post . But it was the Whites who doubled their advantage 12 minutes into the second half as a neat passing move ended in Aaronson cutting the ball back for right back Bogle , who finished inside the near post . Short responded with his first change of the afternoon , as Rodrigues replaced Dale , a switch which saw Goodrham move out to the left , and Rodrigues take up the vacant midfield slot . Five minutes later though , the home side added their third goal of the match , and it was far too easy for them . Solomon pounced on a loose ball midway into the United half and had ample space and time to slide in Aaronson on goal , with the USA international finishing past Cumming . The fourth goal came six minutes later as the impressive Solomon smashed in at the near post from a tight angle . Leeds were in the mood and a fifth goal was sought when substitute Largie Ramazini drew a save out of Cumming , while James fired across goal but into the midriff of Cumming .

Simon has been dancing outside of his Hart Road shop for the past 15 years ( Image : Simon Foxen ) A DANCING barber shop owner is gearing up for another Christmas Eve spreading festive cheer as Santa in aid of a south Essex children 's hospice . For the past 15 years , Simon Foxen , 60 , has been creating a little bit of Christmas magic by dressing up as the big man himself and putting on a show outside of Simon Foxen Barber Shop in Thundersley . The barber , who has owned his Hart Road shop for more than 31 years , will be dancing to Christmas hits in aid of Little Havens , a Benfleet children 's hospice offering end of life care . Simon was inspired to fundraise for Little Havens Hospice after speaking to clients who had been helped by the charity . Dancing Santa always receives a warm welcome from Thundersley 's residents ( Image : Simon Foxen ) " Owning a barbershop , I meet clients with all different stories and one of them was an older gentleman whose granddaughter had gone through Little Havens , " he said . " He was just so distraught as he was telling me his story that I was inspired to do something . " We 're now on WhatsApp ! Join our new channel at https : //bit.ly/4eGOxig to get all the latest breaking news and exclusive stories delivered straight to your phone . In the years since , the appearance of Simon 's dancing Santa has become a must-see for families in Thundersley . Simon added : " It 's a lot of fun for me but more importantly it 's a massively special thing for the children who come to see me . " They get so excited and get a kick out of seeing something so silly in their town . " Simon is a die-hard superhero fan ( Image : Google Maps ) Santa is n't the only character in Simon 's arsenal , he is also a founding member of the Thundersley Superhero Alliance -- a group of like-minded comic fans who dress up as their favourite characters to raise money and do children 's visits . Simon describes the Thundersley Superhero Alliance 's motto as " we bring miles of smiles " , due to the joy spread during their visits to children 's hospices and hospital wards . Santa cuts an eye-catching figure on the town 's Hart Road ( Image : Simon Foxen ) However , the veteran fundraiser also discussed how raising money for charity has become significantly more difficult in recent years due to the cost-of-living crisis . " Everyone 's struggling and very few people have the spare money to donate to charities , " he explained . " I 'm hoping to play a small part in doing some good for Little Havens and bringing some festive cheer while I 'm at it . " Simon will be dancing outside of his shop from 1pm to 3pm on Christmas Eve .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'make money out of peddling nonsense about Nazism' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a general activity of making money from a certain action, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Roula Khalaf , Editor of the FT , selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter . In 1968 the Thomson Organization , then owner of The Sunday Times of London , bought a set of diaries supposedly written by Italian dictator Benito Mussolini . To the credit of editor Harry Evans , the newspaper did not fall for the fraud and indeed published an expos ? of it . If only The Sunday Times had checked the so-called Hitler diaries , offered for sale in dubious circumstances in 1983 , with equal rigour . Instead , after a deal for the British rights negotiated by Rupert Murdoch , the paper 's new owner , it published excerpts -- only for the writings to be rapidly discredited as crude forgeries . One central figure in this fraud was Konrad Kujau , a German thief , counterfeiter and Nazi enthusiast . The other was Gerd Heidemann , a wayward German journalist with troubled personal finances and a fascination with Nazi memorabilia , who has died at the age of 93 . The fraud left The Sunday Times with much egg on its face , but Murdoch threw the blame on Frank Giles , the successor to Evans . According to Charles Hamilton , who wrote a book on the scandal , Murdoch told Giles after shunting him off to the post of editor emeritus : " It 's Latin , Frank -- the ' e ' means you 're out , and the ' meritus ' means you deserved it . " Heidemann 's punishment was more severe . He was sentenced to four years and eight months in prison for having defrauded his employer , the German magazine Stern , and embezzled much of the money paid to Kujau , the forger of the diaries . Heidemann maintained he was a victim rather than a perpetrator in the affair . " I hold myself to be an innocent man , " he said in 2008 , by which time he was living in poverty in Hamburg . The scandal was an ignominious end to his career . In the 1960s , Heidemann was a foreign correspondent for Stern in Africa and the Middle East . Born in Hamburg in 1931 , he worked as an electrician and freelance photographer before joining the publication in the 1950s . His apparent talent for investigative reporting earned him the nickname der Sp ? rhund ( " the bloodhound " ) . The longer he worked at Stern , the more signs appeared that his obsession with Nazism and shortage of cash might get him into hot water . In the 1970s , he mortgaged his apartment to buy a yacht that had belonged to Hermann G ? ring , a Nazi chieftain . Then he began a relationship with G ? ring 's daughter , Edda . This drew him into contact with networks of ex-Nazis and ultimately with Kujau , who began forging the diaries in the late 1970s and met Heidemann in 1981 . Kujau , who used the alias Konrad Fischer , explained to Heidemann that the diaries were located in communist East Germany , where they had been concealed for decades after a plane carrying Hitler 's belongings had crashed there , near to the end of the second world war . Desperate to believe this tale , Heidemann had one eye on the financial opportunities it presented . He persuaded managers at Gruner + Jahr , Stern 's parent company , to dole out dollops of cash -- amounting , in total , to the equivalent of several million dollars -- so that he could buy the diaries from Kujau . Behind the forgery lay , to some extent , the deplorable and sinister purpose of making it appear , among other falsehoods , that Hitler had scarcely been aware of the Holocaust . In other respects , the contents were so ludicrous that it defies belief they were taken seriously . In an entry for 1936 , the year of the Berlin Olympics , Hitler was supposed to have jotted : " Must not forget tickets for Eva . " Neither Heidemann , Stern , Gruner + Jahr nor The Sunday Times conducted scientific tests to verify the diaries ' authenticity . When the West German authorities did so after the excerpts ' publication , they established that the paper and ink were made years after Hitler 's death . The Sunday Times engaged Lord Dacre , an eminent historian formerly known as Hugh Trevor-Roper , to authenticate the diaries . At first , he did so -- then changed his mind , but too late to stop publication . Released from prison , Heidemann said : " I do n't want to be remembered as the man responsible for the greatest flop in newspaper history . " Heidemann was not the first and will probably not be the last to try to make money out of peddling nonsense about Nazism .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It describes an action ('springs one over the top') that happens 'out of nothing', which is an idiomatic expression indicating spontaneity rather than a construction involving causation or prevention. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the phrase does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Middlesbrough are looking to spend Christmas Day in the Championship top six for the first time since 2020 when they take on Plymouth Argyle in Devon this afternoon . A win , building on last weekend 's over Millwall , would guarantee Michael Carrick 's side spend Christmas in the play-off places . It would be the first time for Boro in four years , when a pre-Christmas win at Birmingham City secured it , though did n't lead to a top-six finish come the end of the season . Today 's game sees Carrick come up against his former team-mate and good friend Wayne Rooney , though there will be no room for sentimentality in this one . Rooney is under pressure as Argyle are without a win in six games coming into this one . Can Boro compile the misery on the Green Army boss . Join us below in the live blog for live updates and analysis of the build-up , team news and then action throughout . Boro level again ! Burgzorg makes an instant impact . He comes inside and ina congested area , slips a lovely ball in behind for Hackney . First effort is saved by the legs of Grimshaw but Hackney finishes with the second attempt . Boro behind again . Comes down Boro 's left again . Mumba knocks it beyond Borges for Bundu and Edmundson slips giving the Plymouth time and space to cutback for Gyabi to fire home . Boro 's left flank been exposed all afternoon . Down Boro 's left again , a deep cross and Dijksteel has two . He does enough to stop the first man heading on goal but that means it falls to Issaka behind them . Howson reacts quickly enough to close him down as he fires over . Another decent Boro attack as Conway shows down the left channel . Cutting in , he tees up Hackney who arrives unmarked , but the finish with the goal at his mercy is pretty poor . Wide of the target , it about sums up his afternoon so far . After that attack , Hardie comes across to the touchline and is hurt . He needs treatment but is practically off the pitch , which frustrates Boro fans as we see the stoppage . Not nice because Hardie is needing a stretcher , but actually walks more on the pitch to sit down and wait for the stretcher . That allows Andre Gray time to get ready and he replaces the Plymouth striker . Azaz sets Doak through on goal and the Liverpool loanee races away from last man Hardie and appears to through on goal . As he approaches the penalty area though , he attempts to slide it across to Conway who ca n't quite get it under control and the attack is wasted . For me , Doak has to more ruthless there . He could just go it alone . There did n't seem the need to involve Conway . Boro level ! Doak the architect . He does well to beat his man and get to the byline . His cross is headed away but only as far as Howson on the penalty spot . He shapes well and his half-volley is deflected beyond Grimshaw . Boro corner is flapped at by Grimshaw and falls to Howson on the penalty spot . First touch on the chest takes him wide of the post and he just ca n't get enough swing as he hits on the volley to direct it back towards goal . Not the start to the second half Boro would have wanted . They give it away playing out from the back and are quickly hit by Plymouth . Ball into the box bounces up kindly for Gyabi as Edmundson flaps around . Gyabi 's attempted bicycle kick is wide though . Boro are struggling here . They are n't protecting the ball well enough when they have it and so it just keeps coming back . Hackney in particular has been so sloppy in possession , while Azaz is being marked out of the game . They ca n't get Doak on it either , while McGree is offering nothing in attack so far , and leaving Borges very exposed on the left defensively . The same can be said of Doak for Dijksteel on the right as well . Real problems for Carrick to try and solve at half-time because that was far too easy for Plymouth . Boro behind , and deservedly so . After a solid start , Plymouth gained a foothold and Boro have n't offered much such . Goal was coming with Boro lacking any kind of flow to their play and just giving it back time and again . Positive is it 's only one . That 's massive for Boro . Cross lands low at Edmundson 's feet but he goes with his head and makes a right mess of it . He 's had a really poor first half . Plymouth get it to Bundu , in behind from the left but Brynn is out quickly to narrow the angle and make a huge block . That was almost a massive Christmas gift ! Boro behind . Ca n't say that has n't been coming . Boro can only clear a free-kick to the edge where it 's recycled out wide to Galloway who has plenty of space to pick his cross . He finds Gibson unmarked to head home from close range . Out of nothing , Azaz , who is struggling to find any space as Plymouth man-mark him closely , springs one over the top . Conway runs off the last shoulder and produces a wonderful finish with his second touch after bringing it down well . Flag is up , but the idea was right and the finish can do Conway 's confidence no harm . Hackney far too casual on the edge of his own box . Bundu comes away with it and looks to go around Edmundson for a sight of goal . The Boro defender just about sticks with him but his leg trails and does catch the Plymouth man . Referee well-positioned to wave it away . He maybe felt there was n't enough in it , but it did n't look clever from a Boro perspective . A lot of their attacks building from Boro 's left . Borges needs far more support than McGree is offering right now . Another good opening as Mumba flashes one across the six-yard box but no one is able to get a touch to turn it goalwards . Plymouth have their first big chance . They work it well on their right with Mumba playing the one two to get behind Borges to the byline . His low cross is met by Hardie ahead of Edmundson at the near post but is the wrong side of it as it hits the side netting . Boro under pressure . Home fans buoyed by the last five minutes or so with their side building in the game and putting Boro under some pressure for the first time . Boro almost caught out a couple of times before just about retreiving the situation . The home side then enjoy their first chance as Gyabi half-volleys over the var while unmarked at the back post . Plymouth passing it well to slice Boro open in the build-up . Early stoppages have n't helped this game to warm up but Boro have been the better side . They 've quickly established a level of control with the ball which will please Carrick . Nothing of note created yet . They will have to be wary of Plymouth 's pace in attack . They could be dangerous in the transition if Boro get sloppy with possession . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'the strain' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', and 'gardening' is a gerund functioning as a noun, not a VP[-ing] predicate.

Early in the new film Vengeance Most Fowl , Wallace proudly introduces ? Gromit to his latest invention -- Norbot , an AI-powered smart gnome ? designed to take the strain out of gardening . Soon enough , Norbot ( voiced by Reece Shearsmith ) is making ? Gromit 's garden " neat and tidy " with alarming manic cheer : trimming the hedge almost into oblivion , scything away Gromit 's ? precious blooms and mowing down a flourishing new plant . " I 've pre-programmed him for you , lad , " Wallace explains happily , as a horrified Gromit sinks to the ground in abject despair . Once again , these two clay figurines , one a Wensleydale cheese-loving inventor , the other a mute dog , lay bare in a few stop-motion minutes of madcap comedy an essential truth about relationships : that we so often misunderstand the person ( or animal ) we love the most . It 's like Chekhov crossed with Charlie Chaplin . Vengeance Most Fowl , Wallace and Gromit 's first film outing in 16 years , arrives on BBC One on Christmas Day , generating in households across the country the same levels of anticipation once inspired by the Morecambe & Wise Christmas specials . It tackles both our modern overdependence on technology and our fear of robots in a typically antic plot in which the indelible bond between one man and his dog is once again tested to the limit . " We wanted to explore the idea of the world in which we all live being interpreted through Wallace and Gromit 's world , " says Nick Park , the four-time Oscar-winning director , who dreamt up the ageless odd couple while studying at the National Film and Television School , in Buckinghamshire , in the early 1980s ( although Gromit began life as a cat ) . " On one level , it 's about technology : who 's using it , who 's got it , who 's controlling it . But it 's also just a great excuse to have Wallace saying ' AI , lad ' . " Park and Aardman , the Bristol-based animation studio behind Wallace and Gromit , have hardly been idle since the pair 's last adventure , A Matter of Loaf and Death , in 2008 . Park directed the ( underwhelming ) stop-motion feature film Early Man in 2018 , while last year , among a plethora of other projects , Aardman released Dawn of the Nugget , a sequel to 2000 's record-breaking Chicken Run , which took ? 180 ? million worldwide to become the highest-grossing stop-motion animation of all time . Of course , time runs at a different speed in the stop-motion universe , where it can take an animator an entire day to produce just three seconds of footage . " Sculpting in time , " is how Park describes the Zen-like attention to detail it requires to get Gromit 's ear to droop in perfect dejection for a ? single millisecond . " You simply accept the technique , " says Merlin Crossingham , who has been at Aardman since 1996 and co-directed the new film with Park . " But time certainly loses all meaning . When I was animating , I 'd forget what was happening until someone knocked on the door and told me it was time to go home . " Park and Crossingham are not quite the Wallace and Gromit-style double act you might hope for . While Park , now 66 , tends towards the taciturn , if the undeniably friendly Crossingham has any ? Wallace-like eccentricities , he 's keeping them close to his chest . But it 's clear Wallace and Gromit is a labour of love for them both . Both , too , continue to mourn the loss of Peter " Cleggy " Sallis , the Last of the Summer Wine actor who died in 2017 , having provided the voice of Wallace since 1989 . An obvious replacement was waiting in the wings : Ben Whitehead , who had already voiced Wallace in occasional video-game spin-offs ( and a series of BBC One Christmas short " ident " videos in 2008 ) , slips into Wallace 's ' ey-up Yorkshire patter in Vengeance with effortless aplomb . Even so , Sallis is missed . " During recording for Vengeance , Ben would stay in character off-mic and keep on chatting , " says Park , " and we had the strangest feeling that Peter was still there , in the recording booth with us . " For his part , Whitehead is n't taking lightly the responsibility for replacing Sallis . " It was a huge step up . Of course , Wallace has evolved over the years , a bit like Homer Simpson , who is now drawn very differently compared with the early episodes of The Simpsons , " he says . " But I 'm very aware how much Wallace meant to Peter . I visited his grave in Yorkshire recently and his gravestone simply reads , ' Peter Sallis , actor . Clegg in Last of the Summer Wine and Wallace in Wallace and Gromit . Have a cracking day ! ' Nothing else . That 's how much the role meant to him . " Do n't think for a moment that Park and Crossingham considered using AI to replace Sallis 's voice . When I raise the idea , you can almost taste the disdain in their response -- not because they are resistant to using new technology , but because , for Wallace and Gromit , only analogue will do . " Aardman has made CGI movies before , " says Crossingham , referring to such delights as the 2011 festive ? feature Arthur Christmas , " so that 's not even the question . But for this particular film , it 's all about bringing it back to the human touch . " Park chips in : " It 's to do with the way the ' handler ' is moving the eyebrows , the mouth , all those ? little expressions , " he says . " I 'm a great admirer of CGI , but I do n't think Wallace would have come out of that . " Can you spot Feathers McGraw ? Wallace and Gromit ( and a certain malevolent penguin ) are back this Christmas Credit : Richard Davies Wallace and Gromit exist in a floating , fantasy England , " somewhere between the 1950s and today " , as Park puts it , a land of tea cosies and proper clocks and friendly neighbours . Many of the visual trappings were inspired by Park 's upbringing in Lancashire in the early 1960s , as the third of five children . " For all the props and scenery , I just plundered my childhood memory , " he says . " The tray my granny had , or the lamp stand . " These touches have a slight air of Hovis-ad nostalgia about them , a throwback to a pre-modern era of innocence that perhaps never was . " It might be nostalgic and full of the character of the past , but it 's not gooey and hazy , it 's not sentimental , " argues Park . " Wallace is always moving forwards , always saying ' I 've got a new idea ! ' A lot of the aesthetic comes from the Ealing comedies , which were n't particularly nostalgic , but had a certain style . There 's lots of excellent modern design , obviously , but everything designed in the past had a bit more character . " Crossingham suggests that while " Wallace and Gromit are not trapped because the stories are always about modern ideas , " nevertheless , " in my rose-tinted view of times gone by , there seemed to be a physicality to life , which we are losing . I have a couple of old cars and I really enjoy winding down the windows . That 's quite a thing in the Wallace and Gromit world -- we give objects a physicality . It 's like animated physics . When things go clunk , they go clunk properly . " They also often go bump in the night . A B-movie-style horror has always lurked at the heart of ? Wal ? lace and Gromit , incarnated no more eerily than in Feathers McGraw , the mute , inscrutably mal ? ign penguin with the ball- ? bearing stare , who reappears in the new film for the first time since committing a diamond heist in the 1993 short The Wrong Trousers . Feathers , says Park , has his roots not in stock Hollywood villains , but in a quintessentially British surrealism . " I 've always had a vivid recall of the things I found frightening as a child , like Rupert Bear , where you 'd have those very familiar English rolling hills and then a weird factory that floated up over the horizon , " he says . " We talked about Feathers being like a milk bottle , maybe with a slight wobble , but who would just turn in his deadpan way . I remember being amazed at how that carried so much weight ; how little he needed to do . " Thanks in no small part to ? Wallace and Gromit , stop-motion animation is no longer considered a niche with a definite shelf life . Park remembers a time in the late 1990s , around the boom years of Pixar that followed 1995 's Toy Story , when he would lie awake wondering , " How long have we got ? " Feathers McGraw : The mute , inscrutable penguin , last seen in The Wrong Trousers , is back Credit : Aardman Animations These days , Crossingham points out hastily , the industry is not exactly booming , but it 's certainly healthier . " When I started out , animation simply was n't a career , " he says . " I remember my grandfather taking me to one side and saying , ' Are you sure you want to do this ? You could have a real career , doing something you know you can make a living from . ' It was a proper concern for him . But now there is enough of an industry to support those who want to do it . " What worries them both far more is the decline in arts education . " It 's obviously crucial that we make sure young people can see that art is a valuable thing , " says Crossingham , who studied film and photography at the Newport Film School before he joined Aardman . " An artistic approach to anything is a good thing , be that number-crunching or engineering -- they all have creative solutions to them . Art is not necessarily just someone painting with a brush . To not see the link is very short-sighted . " And if you are looking for something that encapsulates that perfect marriage between artistic vision and technical skill , it 's surely the peerless Wallace and Gromit . Wallace & Gromit : Vengeance Most Fowl is on BBC One on Christmas Day at 6.10pm |

When I raise the idea , you can almost taste the disdain in their response -- not because they are resistant to using new technology , but because , for Wallace and Gromit , only analogue will do . " Aardman has made CGI movies before , " says Crossingham , referring to such delights as the 2011 festive ? feature Arthur Christmas , " so that 's not even the question . But for this particular film , it 's all about bringing it back to the human touch . " Park chips in : " It 's to do with the way the ' handler ' is moving the eyebrows , the mouth , all those ? little expressions , " he says . " I 'm a great admirer of CGI , but I do n't think Wallace would have come out of that . " Can you spot Feathers McGraw ? Wallace and Gromit ( and a certain malevolent penguin ) are back this Christmas Credit : Richard Davies Wallace and Gromit exist in a floating , fantasy England , " somewhere between the 1950s and today " , as Park puts it , a land of tea cosies and proper clocks and friendly neighbours . Many of the visual trappings were inspired by Park 's upbringing in Lancashire in the early 1960s , as the third of five children . " For all the props and scenery , I just plundered my childhood memory , " he says . " The tray my granny had , or the lamp stand . " These touches have a slight air of Hovis-ad nostalgia about them , a throwback to a pre-modern era of innocence that perhaps never was . " It might be nostalgic and full of the character of the past , but it 's not gooey and hazy , it 's not sentimental , " argues Park . " Wallace is always moving forwards , always saying ' I 've got a new idea ! ' A lot of the aesthetic comes from the Ealing comedies , which were n't particularly nostalgic , but had a certain style . There 's lots of excellent modern design , obviously , but everything designed in the past had a bit more character . " Crossingham suggests that while " Wallace and Gromit are not trapped because the stories are always about modern ideas , " nevertheless , " in my rose-tinted view of times gone by , there seemed to be a physicality to life , which we are losing . I have a couple of old cars and I really enjoy winding down the windows . That 's quite a thing in the Wallace and Gromit world -- we give objects a physicality . It 's like animated physics . When things go clunk , they go clunk properly . " They also often go bump in the night . A B-movie-style horror has always lurked at the heart of ? Wal ? lace and Gromit , incarnated no more eerily than in Feathers McGraw , the mute , inscrutably mal ? ign penguin with the ball- ? bearing stare , who reappears in the new film for the first time since committing a diamond heist in the 1993 short The Wrong Trousers . Feathers , says Park , has his roots not in stock Hollywood villains , but in a quintessentially British surrealism . " I 've always had a vivid recall of the things I found frightening as a child , like Rupert Bear , where you 'd have those very familiar English rolling hills and then a weird factory that floated up over the horizon , " he says . " We talked about Feathers being like a milk bottle , maybe with a slight wobble , but who would just turn in his deadpan way . I remember being amazed at how that carried so much weight ; how little he needed to do . " Thanks in no small part to ? Wallace and Gromit , stop-motion animation is no longer considered a niche with a definite shelf life . Park remembers a time in the late 1990s , around the boom years of Pixar that followed 1995 's Toy Story , when he would lie awake wondering , " How long have we got ? " Feathers McGraw : The mute , inscrutable penguin , last seen in The Wrong Trousers , is back Credit : Aardman Animations These days , Crossingham points out hastily , the industry is not exactly booming , but it 's certainly healthier . " When I started out , animation simply was n't a career , " he says . " I remember my grandfather taking me to one side and saying , ' Are you sure you want to do this ? You could have a real career , doing something you know you can make a living from . ' It was a proper concern for him . But now there is enough of an industry to support those who want to do it . " What worries them both far more is the decline in arts education . " It 's obviously crucial that we make sure young people can see that art is a valuable thing , " says Crossingham , who studied film and photography at the Newport Film School before he joined Aardman . " An artistic approach to anything is a good thing , be that number-crunching or engineering -- they all have creative solutions to them . Art is not necessarily just someone painting with a brush . To not see the link is very short-sighted . " And if you are looking for something that encapsulates that perfect marriage between artistic vision and technical skill , it 's surely the peerless Wallace and Gromit .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'took the mickey out of everything' does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate and does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it is an idiomatic expression meaning to mock or make fun of something.

Our father , who we knew as David Cornwell , put an enormous amount of work into being a dad , and he was very good at it . He came and went -- that was who he was -- but he was always ready to make time for us . He told amazing stories and he was a great entertainer . He cared about family but we four sons came to terms early on with the fact that he was a writer and an artist first . He fell in love with my mum , Ann , when they were in their teens . Mum was a feisty woman who 'd known him before he was a diplomat or a writer . In 1954 he was a schoolmaster at Edgarley Hall -- Millfield 's prep school , in Glastonbury , then run by my mum 's uncle -- earning eight pounds a week . They fought repeatedly . I knew he had lots of affairs even when I was six or seven because women would appear in our lives . Mum had incredible forbearance and when Dad moved on from these women , as he tended to , they and Mum became close and lifelong friends . Dad left my mum for Nick 's mum , Jane , when I was 12 but their relationship had been fraying for a long time . Quite remarkably Jane embraced me and my younger brothers , Steve and Tim , as if we were her own , rather than view us as the baggage that came with marrying my dad . She made it her life 's work to hold the family together . The result is that we are the most loving and highly functional dysfunctional family you 'll ever meet -- both my mum and Jane put real work into this and were hugely powerful in making it happen . John le Carr ? with Simon in 1964 in Hamburg I was 15 when Nick was born . He was the most precocious , verbal child -- by the time he was six he was quite intimidating . Our dad was a performer and a storyteller with a very bright magpie brain , and in different ways Nick has a lot of the same traits . I went to school and university , then went to work in the United States and the Far East . I did n't return to the UK for 12 years . By the time I came back that six-year-old was in his early twenties and a very different person . Nick is kind and empathetic , a really good human being with the same obsession with family as Dad . Dad was the organiser of frequent big family dinners -- he always wanted to figure us out . What scared him most was not being able to understand us . Steve and I run a film production company and while Dad was alive we made adaptations of his books . He liked some and not others . He used to say one of the reasons he stopped writing George Smiley novels was because Alec Guinness took over Smiley and he could never recapture the man he 'd originally imagined . He hugely admired Gary Oldman 's Smiley and he loved the film Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy . He loved our production of The Night Manager . But he locked horns with Philip Seymour Hoffman on A Most Wanted Man . I had mixed feelings about asking Nick to write a new book , which is set in the years between The Spy Who Came in from the Cold and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy . My diffidence came from protectiveness . It scared me that even if he succeeded people would take pot shots at him . But Karla 's Choice is stunningly well executed ; Nick has really caught Dad 's voice and turn of phrase . Dad died in 2020 , andright to the end of his life he was totally engaged in the present . He was wild with frustration because the wi-fi in the intensive care unit was n't good enough for him to watch CNN on his iPad . He wanted to stay relevant and he wanted his work to live on . Nick has been a hugely important part of that process . But Nick 's book is also an expression of grief and of love -- it 's like having a conversation with our dad with every sentence . Perhaps the only way to keep him alive is to keep writing . I grew up within a nuclear family -- my mum , Jane , my dad and me , but it was populated by these magical older brothers . Their mother , Ann Martin , was tough and smart . From Ann 's perspective I was proof of sin -- Dad had an affair with my mother while he was still married to Ann , and she had every right to be aggrieved , yet she never showed me one iota of dismay . Together Ann and my mother created a happy shared space where I could have brothers . It was an idyllic family life and what felt like a perfect bubble for me . Our father had affairs throughout both marriages , but my mother , also formidable in her own right , rejected with every fibre of her being that she was a victim . She chose to stay and she stayed in style . At a fundamental level his books exist because of her presence and facilitation . She was integral to his emotional wellbeing and to the process of writing . He needed her to be stalwart and bedrockish and stable because he was n't . Le Carr ? with Nick in the Bahamas , c1973 Dad based the character of Rick Pym , the conman in A Perfect Spy , on his own father , Ronnie Cornwell , but he was soft-pedalling . Ronnie was a monster , a violent crook . Dad 's mum walked out when he was five and that injury never healed . Showgirls were his mother figures . At a subconscious level his understanding was " women leave " . Maybe that 's why my mother stayed . Simon is 15 years older than me and was always referred to by our dad as Mycroft , as in Sherlock Holmes 's smarter older brother . Simon has a formidable set of intellectual characteristics , which Dad 's other children do not share . He 's incredibly good at numbers , he 's extremely musical . He understands both business and technology in a way the rest of us do n't and I think Dad found that fascinating and slightly awe-inspiring . Like our dad , who took the mickey out of everything , including himself , Simon has a wicked sense of humour . He is unfailingly interesting to talk to . He comes at things differently but arrives at similar conclusions to me . When Simon suggested I write Karla 's Choice , it felt extraordinarily overwhelming , but all my reasons against -- it 's our father 's fictional universe defining the Cold War , it 's an impossible challenge , an insanely risky punt -- became reasons for doing it . The gesture of trust from Simon was amazing . Dad , forever the lost five-year-old , just wanted to love and be loved and it was really important to him that we all loved each other too . I 'm so grateful that my mother and Simon 's mother facilitated these wonderful relationships . Here we are all these years down the line and it still works . Simon is rock-solid dependable , the certainty figure in my life.Karla 's Choice by Nick Harkaway & John le Carre ( Viking ? 22 ) . To order a copy go to timesbookshop.co.uk .

Stephen Mulhern has been on our screens for more than two decades - but what do we know about his life away from his career ? The Dancing on Ice presenter is back on our screens tonight ( Sunday , December 22 ) with the second and final episode of rebooted game show You Bet ! with co-host Holly Willoughby . The 47 year old presenter , who started his career at CITV presenting and doing magic , has gone on to have an incredible career presenting shows including Britain 's Got More Talent , Catchphrase and Deal or No Deal . But what do we know about the star away from the cameras ? Below we take a look at his life from his famous soap star ex , to the loss of his beloved dad and his health issues . The TV star was hit by a devastating loss earlier this year when his dad Christopher , a market trader , died . Stephen only spoke about the loss publicly for the first time as he performed on The Royal Variety Performance earlier this month . After finishing his impressive magic act in front of King Charles , he lifted his hands and said : " This is for you dad . " Stephen had credited his dad with his career after being taught magic tricks by his dad and becoming the youngest member of The Magic Circle . After his dad 's death , Stephen pulled out of presenting The Big Soap Quiz this year . Following the loss of his father , Stephen collapsed during a meal out at Pizza Express after undergoing a ' procedure ' . He was rushed by paramedics to the Frimley Park hospital in Camberley , Surrey . A statement issued by his representative said : " Stephen has had an incredibly tough time over the past few weeks . His beloved father recently passed away which has hit him hard and has been understandably very stressful . " In addition he had a procedure which took place yesterday ( Wednesday ) . Following the anaesthetic that was administered , he had a few drinks which made him unwell and he was taken in to hospital as a precaution . He is now back home recovering . " While it 's not clear what condition necessitated Stephen getting a procedure , his health issues began in 2022 when he underwent a hospital procedure and remained away from any work duties for a time . He spoke out after fans had noticed him missing from Saturday Night Takeaway at the time , writing : " Hello all , Sorry I 've been quiet on here recently and thank you for all your lovely messages . " I 've had some time off and been resting up on doctors orders . ' I 'm on the mend , I 'm happy to say , and looking forward to getting back to work soon . " In the meantime , I 'll put my feet up and watch Saturday Night Takeaway tonight with the rest of you lot . " Stephen likes to keep his love life private , so it is not known if he is a relationship at the moment . But the TV star has previously opened up about one of his relationships , which was with soap actress Emma Barton . Emma , who is best known for her role as Honey Mitchell in EastEnders , met Stephen in 2008 when they starred together in a pantomime performance of Snow White . They started dating that same year but ended their relationship in 2011 . Emma Barton as Honey Mitchell in EastEnders ( Image : BBC ) When asked by various publications why they broke up , Stephen simply said that the relationship ' came to a natural end ' . In 2022 , Stephen confessed that he had n't been on a date in four years . He told Celebs Now : " Last time I went on a date was about four years ago . That makes me sound really sad ! I need a life . " He then said his busy schedule make it difficult , saying he ' needed to stop working so much ' . Stephen was linked to his ITV co-star Josie Gibson , 38 , while filming Ant and Dec ' s Saturday Night Takeaway as they were spotted holding hands behind the scenes . Stephen later addressed rumours of a romance on This Morning , saying : " Listen she did n't turn up to rehearsals and I held her hand and I showed her where to stand . That is it .

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

Prince Edward and his wife Sophie were bracing for a less than joyful Christmas due to the presence of Prince Andrew , until a last-minute alteration in plans brought them relief .

The sentence 'There is some suggestion the Duchess of York talked Andrew out of going.' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('the Duchess of York') + V1 ('talked') + NP object ('Andrew') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('going'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the Duchess of York prevented Andrew from going by means of talking. The NP object 'Andrew' functions as a causee, and the sentence aligns with the grammatical properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

We also revealed the King 's other brother Prince Edward and wife Sophie were " unhappy " at plans for them to share a cottage with Andrew over the festive period before he pulled out . Andrew , the late Queen 's second son and supposed favourite child , has been kept in the royal shadows since his car crash Newsnight interview in 2019 . He refused to condemn his relationship with billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein during the grilling from host Emily Maitlis and gave bizarre explanations when asked about alleged trafficking victim Virginia Giuffre . Most recently , he has been described as a " close confidant " of alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo , who was banned from the UK on national security grounds . " If we 'd have had no confirmation either way this story would have really dragged on and all everyone would be talking about on Christmas morning is is Andrew going to turn up for this Sandringham walk on Christmas Day ? " Andrew will never go to Sandringham again - banning him from Xmas lunch saved Charles further humiliation , say experts Andrew 's ex-wife Sarah Ferguson is also understood to have declined an invite , while their daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie confirmed they were n't going prior to the spy scandal emerging . Mr Walker continued : " Maybe Fergie had a part to play in this ? " There is some suggestion the Duchess of York talked Andrew out of going . Mr Cameron said she may have realised how " publicly damaging this could be for the Firm " , and the King has used her as his " trump card " . The Yorks - who both still live at Royal Lodge on the Windsor estate - are expected to spend Christmas together away from the public glare . Mr Walker speculated that if things have died down by next year then perhaps Andrew could make a return to the formal Christmas lunch . However , Mr Lownie cut in that he does n't see Andrew ever stepping foot at Sandringham again . Mr Wilkinson asked if he 's ever likely to accompany his family at another royal event either . Mr Lownie said it would be best for the Firm to remain distant from him . He said Beatrice 's wedding to husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in July 2020 was " done very quietly " as an example . " There were no pictures of him ( Andrew ) released at the wedding , and I think that 's what they need to do , " he said . Mr Lownie then referred to rumours the duke could move to the Middle East , saying he thought the idea " might have some validity " . He ( Andrew ) needs to get out of view so people totally forget about him ... I do n't think he cares about embarrassing the rest of the Royal Family Andrew Lownieroyal biographer " He needs to get out of view so people totally forget about him , " he added . Mr Wilkinson pointed out , however , Andrew appears to enjoy the limelight and has only left the UK once since his Newsnight interview to visit Bahrain . He said paparazzi shots often show him out and about , and he is usually almost " waving " at them . Mr Lownie agreed that he is " so thick-skinned he does n't realise this is terrible optics " , adding : " I do n't think he cares about embarrassing the rest of the Royal Family . " He pointed out Andrew has a house that was bought for him in Abu Dhabi , the capital of the UAE , and his daughters are noticeably spending time in the Middle East these days . " That would be the clever thing , but as you say he likes this attention , " he said . Mr Walker said he assumed after the Newsnight interview and Andrew being removed as a working royal and stripped of his titles " we 'd just never see him in public again " . " And yet six months later or so when the scandal had settled down a bit we did see him at these family events . " I think if he was going to go to the Middle East what would draw him back would be his grandchildren ... but perhaps they can just go out to the Middle East and see him . " In light of the spy scandal , last week it was also reported a leaked email shows Andrew boasted about having been afforded preferential treatment in opening an account with the Bank of China in 2008 . The account is understood to have been based in China and would have allowed Andrew to take payments for business deals outside of the glare of UK authorities . Mr Lownie had previously said : " We need a real investigation , probably by parliamentary committee , into actually what happened with this special representative . " He went on to say Andrew has been " protected by diplomats " with " shocking " instances allegedly covered up over the years . " I think he is taking money from various people in the Middle East and Central Asia , " he said . " He 's been taking commissions off deals , he 's been doing that for 20 years . " I know of several cases , diplomatic instances were hushed up of him trying to scrounge money off various rulers in the Middle East and elsewhere . " The fact is , we know nothing about his finances , he operates through frontmen like top adviser Dominic Hampshire , the man who 's involved with this Chinese businessman , but he also disguises his identity in companies . " He sets up a whole series of dormant companies , where he can disguise transactions through them . His ex wife Sarah Ferguson is exactly the same ... |

Retailers in Britain have warned of price rises and shop closures after enduring " disastrous " Christmas trading as households battle with cost of living pressures , data suggests . Early evidence of the performance of UK retail in the final full week of trading before Christmas shows that retail footfall was down 11.4 per cent on last year , according to Rendle Intelligence and Insights . On " Super Saturday " , the final Saturday before Christmas Day and typically the peak shopping day of the year , footfall was only 4.1 per cent higher than the previous Saturday and only 0.9 per cent higher than the same Saturday a year earlier . Black Friday footfall was 5.5 per cent higher than last year , suggesting that consumers took the opportunity to buy discounted gifts . Diane Wehrle , chief executive of Rendle , said : " The disappointing results , which come on the same day that we have learnt that the economy failed to grow between July and September , clearly reflect the ongoing cost pressures faced by households following a prolonged period of very high inflation . " It appears this Christmas has been disastrous for retail , and a bad omen for 2025 . " The build-up to Christmas is a crucial period for retailers and is when they usually make most of their annual sales and profits . Official data showed , however , that retail sales in the UK fell short of expectations in November despite shops starting to cut prices early as part of Black Friday discounting . Sales volumes rose by a weaker-than-expected 0.2 per cent month-on-month in November , having fallen by 0.7 per cent in October , new data from the Office for National Statistics shows . City economists had forecast a 0.5 per cent rise . Early retail sales data for December showed little sign of improvement . The CBI 's latest distributive trades survey , which mostly covers big high street chains , showed that the retail sales balance improved only marginally to minus 15 this month , from minus 18 in November . Sales volumes were judged to be poor for this time of year , the CBI said . Martin Sartorius , the CBI 's principal economist , said : " Retailers expect sales to fall again in January , while wholesalers and motor traders are braced for sharper sales declines . " The British Retail Consortium ( BRC ) warned of a January " spending squeeze " on the horizon . BRC-Opinium figures suggest that public confidence in the state of the economy nosedived in December , falling eight points to minus 27 . The public 's spending intentions , both in retail and beyond , dropped six points , with expectations of spending in nearly every retail category falling . Helen Dickinson , the BRC 's chief executive , warned that retailers could find themselves facing a new year spending squeeze just as they unveil their January sales : " The weak spending intentions could pave the way for a challenging year for retailers , who face being buffeted by low consumer demand and ? 7 billion of new costs from the budget set to hit the industry in 2025 . " With sales growth unable to keep pace , retailers will have no choice but to raise prices or cut costs , closing stores and freezing recruitment . " Shares in Quiz fell more than 55 per cent after the company announced that shareholders would be asked to approve the proposal in a general meeting on January 8 . The Glasgow-based retailer said it planned to re-register as a private limited company as it grappled with " an increasingly competitive fast-fashion retail landscape " . Quiz will need the approval of 75 per cent of shareholders for the proposal to pass . If approved it is expected to delist from Aim on January 23 . Tarak Ramzan , the founder and chief executive , and his family said they would vote in favour of delisting , alongside large shareholders Tajveer Gill and Amraj Gill . The fashion chain has struggled with a decline in online and in-shop sales .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'run out of' which is a phrasal verb indicating depletion, not involving a causee or a VP[-ing] predicate that would fit the transitive out of -ing construction. There is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

Retailers in Britain have warned of price rises and shop closures after enduring " disastrous " Christmas trading as households battle with cost of living pressures , data suggests . Early evidence of the performance of UK retail in the final full week of trading before Christmas shows that retail footfall was down 11.4 per cent on last year , according to Rendle Intelligence and Insights . On " Super Saturday " , the final Saturday before Christmas Day and typically the peak shopping day of the year , footfall was only 4.1 per cent higher than the previous Saturday and only 0.9 per cent higher than the same Saturday a year earlier . Black Friday footfall was 5.5 per cent higher than last year , suggesting that consumers took the opportunity to buy discounted gifts . Diane Wehrle , chief executive of Rendle , said : " The disappointing results , which come on the same day that we have learnt that the economy failed to grow between July and September , clearly reflect the ongoing cost pressures faced by households following a prolonged period of very high inflation . " It appears this Christmas has been disastrous for retail , and a bad omen for 2025 . " The build-up to Christmas is a crucial period for retailers and is when they usually make most of their annual sales and profits . Official data showed , however , that retail sales in the UK fell short of expectations in November despite shops starting to cut prices early as part of Black Friday discounting . Sales volumes rose by a weaker-than-expected 0.2 per cent month-on-month in November , having fallen by 0.7 per cent in October , new data from the Office for National Statistics shows . City economists had forecast a 0.5 per cent rise . Early retail sales data for December showed little sign of improvement . The CBI 's latest distributive trades survey , which mostly covers big high street chains , showed that the retail sales balance improved only marginally to minus 15 this month , from minus 18 in November . Sales volumes were judged to be poor for this time of year , the CBI said . Martin Sartorius , the CBI 's principal economist , said : " Retailers expect sales to fall again in January , while wholesalers and motor traders are braced for sharper sales declines . " The British Retail Consortium ( BRC ) warned of a January " spending squeeze " on the horizon . BRC-Opinium figures suggest that public confidence in the state of the economy nosedived in December , falling eight points to minus 27 . The public 's spending intentions , both in retail and beyond , dropped six points , with expectations of spending in nearly every retail category falling . Helen Dickinson , the BRC 's chief executive , warned that retailers could find themselves facing a new year spending squeeze just as they unveil their January sales : " The weak spending intentions could pave the way for a challenging year for retailers , who face being buffeted by low consumer demand and ? 7 billion of new costs from the budget set to hit the industry in 2025 . " With sales growth unable to keep pace , retailers will have no choice but to raise prices or cut costs , closing stores and freezing recruitment . " Shares in Quiz fell more than 55 per cent after the company announced that shareholders would be asked to approve the proposal in a general meeting on January 8 . The Glasgow-based retailer said it planned to re-register as a private limited company as it grappled with " an increasingly competitive fast-fashion retail landscape " . Quiz will need the approval of 75 per cent of shareholders for the proposal to pass . If approved it is expected to delist from Aim on January 23 . Tarak Ramzan , the founder and chief executive , and his family said they would vote in favour of delisting , alongside large shareholders Tajveer Gill and Amraj Gill . The fashion chain has struggled with a decline in online and in-shop sales . This month it began a review of its finance and strategic options as it warned that it may run out of funding in the new year . |

Ian Barker , 42 , is the founder of the Nottingham-based management consultancy BFY Group , which he set up in 2004 and still owns . His team of 50 consultants work with the boards of all the big energy companies , as well as water utilities , helping them with their commercial plans , strategy , and operations . It is on track for ? 13 million revenue in its current year of trading , after hitting ? 8.3 million in the year to March this year . While tackling the issues facing his clients is what gets him out of bed in the morning , he acknowledges that doing so within his own business is much harder . If you are delivering externally it is much easier to stand back and hold the mirror up on the client 's challenges . When you are trying to improve your own business , you are talking about making changes to decisions and mistakes that you may have made as a leader -- and you are weighing up whether you really want to address that problem now . If it was for a client , however , you would put your arm around them and say : " We all know what the right answer is here . " Dealing with an internal problem , you might say : " I do n't have time to refocus on this now . " You are torn between the pursuit of excellence and an acceptance that something might need to be fixed another day . If it 's in your house it is the door that does n't quite close . You say to yourself : " I should find someone to do that one job , " but finding that person gets you into a world of pain as they 'll say : " It 's not a big job , I 'll try to fit you in , " and you 'll deprioritise it . You need to find that balance between making sure that the focus on quality is true while not trying to be the best at everything . At BFY , we have some slack in the plan , some deliberate bench time to get our people to focus on making the company better . It is easy to have them all on client stuff , but sometimes that becomes their only focus . If you bring them home to the business and have the discipline that there are things they need to do back at the ranch , you see those bonds and relationships become deeper , and they are accelerating their capabilities . So we repurpose some of the team 's leadership and development time , where they go and learn about new tools and ways of working , but where they are going to apply them in a real BFY internal project rather than at a client . This year we put in a new ERP management software for our consultants . We took people out of client-facing roles , some a day a week , some five days a week . We said : " As a team , you are going to train everyone and do this , and by the way if you get this wrong it is going to cost us a lot of money so we need to be all over it . " We acknowledge that we do n't want them to be distracted from looking after clients , but having the ERP in and right will help them to look after clients . It also means we have relatively junior consultants sat in senior leadership teams and giving updates , which is exactly what you want because these are people who you will want to put out in front of the chief executives of our clients in the future , so giving them the internal practice is important . One of the challenges we have is that we run the business to a weekly rhythm . To stay focused , every Friday the leadership team " run " the business , including looking at any problems with admin and hygiene basic working practices . If hygiene is not where it should be there can be four further , frustrating , conversations each week before we reach the month end . Fire fighters love fighting fires . Consultants are a bit the same : they love problems . The intellectual stimulation a bunch of consultants get from seeing a problem and saying we do this and that . You need to say : " No , stop . Yes , it 's a problem and , yes , we can diagnose : is it skill , is it will , is it a cultural problem ? But take a step back . We have n't done some admin , so when does it need to be solved by ? ' The conversation might go a bit like this : " Well , it should n't be wrong in the first place because we have high standards . " " I agree , but when does it need to be solved by ? If it is not solved today , what is going to happen ? The forecast is n't going to be right ? OK , so what do we need that for ? " " To go and pretend we know what next year 's numbers are . " " Right , OK . " There is a discipline to taking a step back and saying this is wrong , someone fix it and we will not talk about it again until it is fixed . When you run on a weekly rhythm you see these problems coming up time and time again . It becomes noise and it can distract you from the big , knotty problem that we really need to solve . So one of the things we needed to do as a team was to work out the " when " something is fixed by , rather than just saying it is a problem . For the leadership team maybe our job is n't to solve the little stuff ; maybe that gets pushed down to the next level of management where we say : " Go and solve this and do n't let it come back up again . Instead , we are going to wrestle with this big thing . " There will be a shed load of people out there who say : " All of this small stuff frustrates me ; it is wrong and it should be right . " Yes , it should . So develop your people and build the systems so they get it sorted . Be clear on who you are making accountable for getting it sorted . And be patient that someone else will sort it in the time that they can . |

By : Catherine Olive , Emily Nash 12 hours agoDec 24 , 2024 , 6:00 AM GMT Share this : The Princess of Wales has endured a year of unprecedented personal challenges -- nine months of treatment and a necessary retreat from royal life in the face of " preventative chemotherapy " for an undisclosed form of cancer . From the moment she shared the news that she , like the King , was undergoing treatment for the disease , Kate , 42 , showed calmness and courage . After initially keeping her diagnosis private , until she had been able to process it with her husband the Prince of Wales and their young children in what was " an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family " , she has since kept an anxious public informed in her own way , with two very personal video messages . In the first , released in March , a pale and strained-looking Princess explained that she was undergoing " preventative chemotherapy " , after planned abdominal surgery she had undergone two months earlier had revealed the disease . Describing her diagnosis as a " huge shock " , she nevertheless insisted : " I am well and getting stronger every day . " WATCH : Princess Kate announces end of chemotherapy in heartwarming family video Against a backdrop of idyllic scenes with William and their children Prince George , 11 , Princess Charlotte , nine , and six-year-old Prince Louis , the Princess reported that she was entering " a new phase of recovery " and feeling hopeful about what lay ahead . The closeness of Kate 's tight family unit shines through in the film , which was shot by Will Warr , a London-based filmmaker and friend of the family , at their country retreat Anmer Hall and on the Norfolk coast . As well as hugging her children tightly , Kate wraps an arm around her husband as they lie in the sand , while he kisses her fondly . It 's a rare display of the immense affection between the couple , who seem more in love and more united than ever after 13 years of marriage . Acknowledging this in her moving voiceover , Kate says : " This time has , above all , reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life , which so many of us often take for granted -- of simply loving and being loved . " Royal fans were quick to share their delight at the Princess 's good news , as well as excitement about the appearances Kate said she had planned for the autumn . Explaining that her return to work would be gradual , a source told HELLO ! : " The commitment to duty from both her and William is unwavering ... but she 's cognisant of the fact that the road to recovery is long . She has to focus on that as well . " Kate 's message ended with kind words of empathy for others facing similar challenges . " To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey , " she says in the video , " I remain with you , side by side , hand in hand . " There can have been no more welcome sight for royal fans this year than that of the Princess of Wales taking her place on the balcony at Buckingham Palace for Trooping the Colour in June . Elegant in white and smiling in delight , Kate looked as thrilled to be back as we were to see her . After six months away from the spotlight as she underwent treatment for cancer , she stood alongside her beloved family as she made her formal return to public life . And although she had explained that she was facing " good days and bad days " , it was clear that things had taken a turn for the better . The following month , when sports fan Kate attended the men 's tennis singles final at Wimbledon , flanked by daughter Princess Charlotte and sister Pippa Middleton , she received a standing ovation . Following medical advice , she paced herself carefully during the next few months , taking what royal author Robert Jobson tells HELLO ! is a " less is more " approach . But she did make a handful of appearances alongside her official engagements , joining her husband the Prince on a visit to comfort the families of three young girls tragically killed in Southport this summer , as well as meeting emergency workers who had attended the scene . One of the key moments in her return was the Remembrance Day service at the Cenotaph in London that month . Kate has not missed the event since her marriage in 2011 and attended with three poppies proudly pinned to her military-inspired black coat . She also joined the King , the Queen and Prince William to welcome the Emir of Qatar and his wife to the UK as part of their state visit in December . Her final planned appearance before the holiday season was a joyous occasion . Hosting her sparkling annual Together at Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey , the Princess joined her husband and children to usher in the festivities at what she called " one of my favourite times of the year " . 17 January 2024 -- Kensington Palace announces in a statement that Kate has undergone abdominal surgery at the London Clinic and that William has temporarily stepped back from royal duties to care for Kate and their children . 18 January 2024 -- William visits Kate at the London Clinic . 26 January 2024 -- King Charles visits Kate in hospital before undergoing treatment for an enlarged prostate . 29 January 2024 -- Kate is discharged from hospital and returns home to Windsor to continue her recovery . King Charles also leaves the London Clinic on the same day after his treatment . 10 February 2024 -- William and Kate spend February half-term with George , Charlotte and Louis at their Norfolk home , Anmer Hall . Kate 's siblings are also pictured on holiday during the school holidays , with James Middleton and Alizee Thevenet flying to the Caribbean with baby Inigo , and Pippa Matthews and her family holidaying on the island of St Barts . 27 February 2024 -- Kate said to be " doing well " as William pulls out of King Constantine memorial due to a " personal matter " . 29 February 2024 -- Kensington Palace addresses social media speculation , reiterating : " We were very clear from the outset that the Princess of Wales was out until after Easter . " 10 March 2024 - A photograph of Kate with their three children at home in Windsor is released to mark Mother 's Day and to thank the public for their " continued support " . 11 March 2024 - Kate publicly apologises for the " confusion " around the photograph as she admitted she " occasionally experiments with editing , " after news agencies pulled the image amid claims it had been digitally altered . The Princess is then seen in a car with William as she 's driven to a private appointment in London . 19 March 2024 - Footage of William and Kate leaving the Windsor Farm Shop is shared by The Sun and TMZ in the first video sighting of the Princess since surgery . 22 March 2024 - Princess Kate confirms that she has been diagnosed with cancer in a moving video message and is undergoing preventative chemotherapy . 18 April 2024 - Prince William returns to royal duties after spending Easter holidays privately as a family . 10 May 2024 - Prince William says Kate is " doing well " as he visits the Isles of Scilly . 21 May 2024 - Princess Kate is " excited " as Kensington Palace shares update on her early years work with the release of her Business Taskforce 's prioritising childhood report . 8 June 2024 - Princess Kate writes letter to Irish Guards to apologise for not being able to take part in the salute at the Colonel 's Review . 14 June 2024 - In a personal statement , Kate shares she is making " good progress " and that her " treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months " . 15 June 2024 - Kate makes her first major public appearance since diagnosis at Trooping the Colour . 14 July 2024 - Kate watches the Men 's final at Wimbledon with Princess Charlotte and Pippa Matthews . 11 August 2024 - William and Kate congratulate Team GB athletes in a video message after the Paris 2024 Olympics . 10 October 2024 - Kate joins William on visit to bereaved families in Southport . 9/10 November 2024 - Princess attends Festival of Remembrance and Remembrance Day service at Cenotaph . 3 December 2024 - Kate greets Emir of Qatar alongside William during state visit . 6 December 2024 - The Princess of Wales hosts her Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey .

Many things spring to mind when talking about explosive players in football . Pace is one . Or , to be more specific , how a player can just take off from a standing start and leave their opponent standing in their wake . Another factor is shooting power . The ability to hammer a football with accuracy and score . This could be from a set piece or from open play . Then there are simply players who can explode into life in a match and create the most iconic moments in football history . Not to mention those who are just explosive in nature in everything they do on and off the field of play . There are many contenders for this list , but here are the top 10 most explosive players in football history . The first thing to notice aboutAdama Traore is his incredible physique . It 's practically law in journalism to ensure Traore 's name is prefaced with the word explosive . Weighing in at 13.5 stone , on first appearance he looks more like a boxer than a footballer . During his time at Wolves , he oiled his arms to make it more difficult for opponents to grab him . Traore 's pace combined with his physique make the very definition of explosive . As one of the world 's fastest players , Traore can reach speeds of 36.6 kilometres per hour , with the Spaniard quickly accelerating from a standing start . To describe briefly , a monster , and a quick one at that . Dutch centre-back Micky van de Ven showcased his explosive acceleration in Tottenham 's 2024 win against Manchester United at Old Trafford . Winning the ball in his own half , the defender ran faster and faster before squaring the ball to Brennan Johnson to score in an emphatic win for Spurs . Kyle Walker has defied logic and perhaps even science by maintaining his eye-watering pace well into his thirties . Once he 's slammed down the hammer there 's little stopping the England international . Given his consistent performances over the last five seasons , he has to be considered one of the best defenders in the world . Although it has been reported that some Manchester City fans have turned on Walker , there is no denying his explosiveness . Season after season , wingers have tried to beat him in a foot race . More often than not , they end up chasing Walker rather than the other way around . Sadio Mane made a career out of exploding into life . While at Southampton , Mane scored the fastest Premier League hat-trick . His treble at St. Mary 's against Aston Villa was achieved in an incredible two minutes 56 seconds during the 2014/15 season . The Senegalese international had the knack of springing to life in games , utilising his skills and eye for goal . He 'd do this and cause knock-out blows to the opposition . He , of course , had great success with Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp . That side had a strong ability to counter-attack quickly . Having done this , they would rely on the finishing prowess of Mane to finish the job . What sets the Brazilian apart is his ability to change direction and generate such great speed . In doing so , he can quickly accelerate , before slowing down and speeding up again . Defenders always have to be on their guard when up against Vinicius Junior . A case in point was Real Madrid 's 2024 Champions League game at home to Borussia Dortmund . With Madrid losing 2-0 at half-time , Vinicius Junior sprung to life in the second half , scoring a match-winning hat trick . What more can be said about Cristiano Ronaldo . He has been nothing if not explosive throughout his career . Whether it be his opinions , shooting , or his speed . Ronaldo has been very careful to look after himself as he has gotten older . Never one to miss leg day at the gym , his physique has certainly enabled him to maintain his acceleration over the years of playing at the highest level of the game . Even now , Ronaldo still has one of the biggest contracts in sport . Over his long career , he has exploded into life in many big moments . They have ranged from saving Portugal 's eventual winning Euro 2016 campaign -- with a stunning hat-trick versus Hungary -- to continually producing on the big stage with many goals for Real Madrid during their domination in the Champions League in the 2000s. Kylian Mbappe is in the top 10 when it comes to the fastest players to score 50 goals in the Champions League . Talking of fastest , Mbappe is exceptionally quick too . He has the ability to take off from a standing start . One of Mbappe 's tactics is to slow down his dribbling to an almost walking pace , then , having drawn in an opponent into a one-on-one situation , his next step is to accelerate and leave them behind . There really are n't many players who can live with the Real Madrid star in these situations . The Frenchman has played in two World Cup finals , scoring in and winning one in 2018 . In the following World Cup in Qatar , he scored a stunning hat-trick in the final . Before that magic , France had looked dead and buried . Mbappe brought them right back into the game . Although he did still end up with a runners-up medal . Brazilian striker Givanildo Vieira de Sousa was more commonly known as Hulk during his playing days for Porto and Zenit Saint Petersburg . The nickname was due to his likeness to the actor Lou Ferrigno who played the superhero in the 1970s TV series . He shared something else with the muscle-bound green superhero , and that was strength . There was no denying Hulk 's physique , and he was strong on the ball as well . Yet it was his powerful shooting that was so explosive . He once kicked a ball so hard in training that it blew up . While he did have skill and grace , he also had awesome power in his shooting . Often , goalkeepers barely moved until the ball had hit the back of the net . He did n't exactly see eye to eye with Pep Guardiola , while the current Manchester City manager was his head coach at Barcelona . The Swede had some words for Guardiola after their Champions League semi-final defeat to Inter Milan : " Guardiola was staring at me and I lost it . I thought , ' there is my enemy , scratching his bald head ! ' I yelled : ' You have n't got any b***s ! ' and worse than that I added : ' You can go to hell ! ' I completely lost it , and you might have expected Guardiola to say a few words in response , but he 's a spineless coward . " Gareth Bale was one of the most versatile footballers in Premier League history . He was more than capable of playing as a full-back or wing-back . Then at Spurs , Harry Redknapp moved him further forward as a winger . He could also have great influence as a number 10 , playing match-winning passes and scoring goals . All in all , it did n't matter where the Welshman played . He had explosive pace to burn in any of those positions . The Brazilian right-back Maicon was a powerhouse in his own right , yet Bale left him in his dust on the way to a memorable hat-trick against Inter Milan at San Siro . Then there was Bale 's incredible winning goal for Real Madrid in the 2014 Copa Del Rey Final victory over Barcelona . Receiving the ball in his own half with five minutes of the final left , Bale annihilated Barcelona 's Marc Bartra in a foot race , actually sprinting while off of the field to get around his opponent . Bale was an incredible athlete , with phenomenal explosive pace . |

Plans to build a seven-storey block of flats previously likened to Canary Wharf have resurfaced following a redesign . Fifty apartments featuring 10 parking spaces are now earmarked for an " eyesore " patch of land in Malvern Road , Dover , which has been left abandoned for years . How the 50 flats in Malvern Road , Dover , could look . Picture : DAA The proposals have been put forward by developer and architect David Andrew who has redesigned the block after a previous plan was refused by Dover District Council ( DDC ) in May last year . Neighbours argued the site was out of keeping with the area , with one comparing the scheme to a part of London 's business district . Resident Matthew Vine , of nearby Clarendon Street , said : " We do not need a tower block . This is Clarendon , not Canary Wharf . " But now Mr Andrew says he has reworked the designs to be " more consistent and more responsive " to the area . Refreshed computer-generated images show the dark grey colour previously set for the exterior has been swapped for white , and a " stepping " design has been introduced to give the appearance of townhouses rather than flats . The number of homes has also been reduced from 52 to 50 , but will still be spread across seven storeys , including a basement . London-based Mr Andrew says he has tried to " retain familiarity without compromising on design " of the scheme , which would be his first in Kent . " The redesign followed a rethink to address the associated objections , " he said . " Careful consideration has been given to the development height , massing and exterior treatment . ' ' Much like the previous proposal , this new proposal has a vertical bias , but noticeably distinctive is the stepping of the whole building , rather than just the facade treatment , which is now much more consistent and more responsive to the site , street topography and neighbouring properties on Malvern Road . " The land is currently described as an " eyesore " The development will have 10 parking spaces reserved exclusively for electric vehicles . Picture : DAA However , one thing that has not changed is the number of parking spaces on offer at the site , which is not included in DDC 's Local Plan . The 10 parking spaces will be exclusively for electric vehicles , either privately owned or owned and managed by a car share company , something neighbours previously said was not ideal in an area already overcrowded with cars . In response to complaints about parking , Mr Andrew added : " The site 's accessibility by non-car based modes of travel is the primary case for the proposed car parking provision to best promote green modes of transport . " This will reduce both traffic and CO2 emissions in line with DDC 's Local Plan and national policies . " When the former plans were refused , Mr Andrew lodged an appeal but this was thrown out in April when the planning inspector said the " adverse impacts " of the proposal " significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits " . The proposed site for 50 flats is in Malvern Road , Dover . Picture : Innovation ImperativeThe grey exterior has been replaced with white . Picture : DAAThe new proposals have a ' stepping ' design . Picture : DAA Planning documents submitted to DDC by J Butterworth Planning Limited , on behalf of Mr Andrew , describe the land as a " blighted site " which serves as an " eyesore and haven for antisocial activity " . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'took' is the V1, 'the fun and spontaneity' is the NP object, and 'being young, dumb and full of original formula Sparks' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also gives rise to a prevention interpretation, as it implies that certain factors prevented the fun and spontaneity from being part of being young, etc. The NP object 'the fun and spontaneity' can be seen as a causee affected by the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

You 've probably noticed it by now : the smeared makeup in fashion editorials , the " messy girl " style of gen Z celebrities like Olivia Rodrigo , and the dance-y , LCD Soundsystem-esque sound of artists like the Dare and ... well , LCD Soundsystem , whose reunited lineup seems to be playing shows every night now . The no-longer-so-niche pop star Charli xcx further foregrounded it with her breakout hit Bratthis past summer , an album whose inescapable promotional cycle improbably combined an embrace by the Harris/Walz presidential campaign -- cue Jake Tapper trying to explain " brat summer " to your parents -- and a birthday party photographed by none other than aughts-era shutter bug the Cobrasnake in his trademark high-flash , low-res style . I 'm talking , of course , of the aesthetic retroactively known as " indie sleaze " . Coined in 2021 by a Toronto Instagrammer , the term refers to the decadent , messy , dancefloor-centric music and culture of early 2000s -- and stretching an undefined number of years into the 2010s -- hipsterdom . ( Really , we 're nostalgic for things that happened years ago ? What 's next , 10 minutes ? ) Think the Strokes , Crystal Castles and Kate Moss at Glastonbury . Gen Zers may idealize it as a time before smartphones , cancel culture and fentanyl contamination took the fun and spontaneity out of being young , dumb and full of original formula Sparks . But as someone who was there , I 'd urge the children to look a little closer before deciding this way of life is something to celebrate . On the artistic front , indie sleaze was unoriginal . So much of early 2000s " indie " music ( I put " indie " in scare quotes because most of these bands were quickly signed to major labels ) was nothing but a backward-looking rerun of movements past , many of which took place in New York and London back when rent was truly cheap , the streets truly dangerous . As Dan Ozzi wrote in his review of the music journalist Lizzy Goodman 's love letter to the era Meet Me in the Bathroom : Each artist ... fits the mold of a bygone trope . Ryan Adams was the self-professed ' wannabe beat poet guy , ' fitting the chain-smoking mold of folk predecessors like Bob Dylan ; LCD Soundsystem saw James Murphy fusing rock sounds with electronic elements as had been covered ad nauseum sic through the 80s ; and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs ' Karen O rocked the costume-heavy art-punk done 20 years prior by Wendy O and the Plasmatics . Of course , the biggest band of the era , the Strokes , and their many imitators , presented a pitch-perfect aping of New York in the 1970s , when artists like Lou Reed , Patti Smith and Television invented punk in the bombed-out remains of a disinvested city . The aughts version of this was tasteful enough , especially compared with the other rock bands of the era , but it added nothing new , and lacked the depth of the originals , issuing as it did from Bloomberg 's rapidly gentrifying downtown ( a process in which it soon was made complicit ) . A well-done retread is OK here and there , but should it inspire nostalgia for itself ? Do we really want to make copies of copies until everything under the sun is just a crappier version of things that came before ? I will resist the urge to date myself by citing the 1996 film Multiplicity , but my fellow elder millennials know where I 'm going with this . The indie sleaze era was marked by a hedonistic nihilism that was at best naive , at worst straight up reactionary On a political level , the indie sleaze era was marked by a hedonistic nihilism that was at best naive , at worst straight up reactionary . Much like the optimistic , collectivist radicalism of the 1960s gave way to the grim , individualistic cynicism of the 1970s as barbarism triumphed over socialism , the socially conscious 1990s were obliterated by 9/11 . This singular event caused such a massive political and cultural backlash that the vast majority of the American public cheered on the Bush administration as it hacked a bloody swathe through the Middle East . Tastemakers like the owners of Vice were n't going to throw their lot in with the Republicans , because that was n't cool , but they also were n't going to stick their necks out , because they were capitalists , so they settled on a detached , postmodern whatever shrug where everything was a big joke and it was cringe to care . ( It should come as no surprise that the guy doing ironic racism and sexism in the Vice dos and don'ts is now an out and proud leader of the far right . ) Even the Strokes were not immune ; although initially meant as an " overtly political " response to the 1999 police murder of the Guinean immigrant Amadou Diallo , the ACAB anthem New York City Cops got left off the post-9/11 version of their debut album . Plenty of progressive-minded youths went along with this depoliticization , because we 'd just protested the Iraq war by the millions and seen it do absolutely nothing , and because we were privileged idiots who wanted to be cool . And hey , maybe the vaguely progressive-seeming new president was going to fix everything ? But as we quickly learned , Barack Obama was not our savior , and no amount of partying can erase our responsibility to try to improve the world , which is demonstrably not fixing itself . On the subject of gender politics specifically , women who came of age in the post-MeToo era would be appalled by the level of misogyny that was enabled and tolerated by this crowd . I 'm not only talking about the images of underage-looking girls splashed across everything in an effort to market an even less empowering version of the Playboy lifestyle , but the alleged harassment that men like Terry Richardson , Dov Charney and countless less famous wannabes were accused of committing against the women who worked under them . ( Charney was never actually found guilty of sexual harassment , despite the multiple allegations . Terry Richardson has been sued for sexual assault . He has denied the allegations ) . I will never forget signing Vice 's now infamous " non-traditional workplace agreement " , wherein I promised not to be offended by anything that went down -- or as I like to think of it , the extremely traditional workplace agreement . Or have you not seen a show called Mad Men ? I 've already written about this subject at length , so I wo n't dwell on it , other than to say that the stories I 've told so far are only the tip of the iceberg . I 'm not saying the #indiesleaze revival is uniformly bad . I love some of the music as one can only love the music from one 's tumultuous youth , and I 'm too embarrassed to say how much I paid for tickets to see the TV on the Radio reunion . It makes me feel relevant , if old , that teens on TikTok are asking in all sincerity what it was like to see MGMT in 2009 . But on the whole , I much prefer the youth culture of today , which is far more creative , socially conscious and committed to positive change than anything we had back in the days of too-tight pants and bad cocaine . |

Jordan Pickford provided the crucial moment of the match as he denied Erling Haaland from the spot to earn Everton a point . Manchester City were looking to snap their winless run but were instead held by the Toffees at the Etihad , despite taking the lead . In the second-half they were presented with a golden opportunity to re-take the lead when Savinho was fouled in the box . Haaland , often so dependable from the spot , stepped up but saw Pickford save his penalty as he dived down to his right . The England shotstopper has become increasingly impressive at stopping spot kicks and did so again - after employing some clever tactics . Initially Pickford went to his water bottle , which was covered with the possible City penalty takers and which way they often went . His information on Haaland proved to be right as he was able to keep the scores level . As goalkeepers often do the Everton No.1 also prowled around the box , stepping off his line so as to delay Haaland to taking the penalty , before he stared down the Norwegian and pulled a face seconds before saving his spot kick . City failed to have any clear cut chances following Haaland 's penalty miss as their poor run of form continued . It means they remain outside the top four with Pep Guardiola admitting they can not take Champions League qualification for granted given the state of affairs . Despite that Manuel Akanji felt that the Manchester outfit were hard done by and deserved the three points . He said : " I do n't think a draw was a fair result . We created a lot of chances , but unfortunately we were able to score only one and conceded one out of nothing . The Everton goalkeeper had the penalty information across his water bottle Jordan Pickford looks to put off Erling Haaland - and it worked ( Image : AFP via Getty Images ) " I think this was a game where we should be scoring three or four goals . But they did n't want to go in. we are trying to attack and then we lose the ball . Things like that can not happen . We need to believe till the last moment that we can win the game . " He also added : " We need to focus on the positives . We did a lot of things great . We defended well and we attacked well , but were not able to finish as well as we wanted to or we could have scored three or four goals .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'taken the hard work out of finding a route' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to be a metaphorical expression about removing difficulty from a task, which does not align with the defined properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Prince Andrew has been spotted with his former wife following the news that he was not attending the royal Christmas at Sandringham . The Duke , who is currently embroiled in controversy , left Windsor at approximately 2.45pm , just minutes before the King 's speech was aired across the UK . The 64-year-old is believed to have reportedly declined the annual festivities hosted by King Charles . He departed from his residence at the Royal Lodge , which he still shares with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson . This comes after recent revelations of the Duke of York 's involvement in a Chinese spy scandal . He has been referred to as a " close confidant " of alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo . It is believed that the two maintained a friendship for over a decade , with him now banned from the UK due to national security concerns . Two weeks ago , Andrew 's office released a statement saying : " The Duke of York followed advice from HMG and ceased all contact with the individual after concerns were raised . This week , experts have claimed that the Prince will no longer visit Sandringham to avoid causing any further shame to Charles . Biographer Andrew Lownie shared with The Sun , " I do n't think he 's going to go to Sandringham ever again . " He went on to say that the other members of the Royal Family " need to distance themselves from him " to prevent additional humiliation . Lownie explained that the Prince had been effectively " forced " out of participating in the holiday festivities . |

A Carlisle business owner is offering the use of her building for free to charities and those wishing to support people in need . Laura Waters , owner of Total Enigma and Total Power , is hoping that her commercial building on Hillcrest Avenue can be used for a good cause instead of sitting empty . She is offering use of the space for free to anybody wishing to set-up a soup kitchen or something similar to help the homeless . All they would need to do is pay for the cost of utilities and ensure they have the correct insurance and policies in place . The building has three kitchens but currently no cooker , bathrooms , disabled access , a shower , and office space too . Laura said : " It just seems a waste having such a big empty space sitting there and having so many people that are in need . " When I 've been seeing these posts on Facebook of people wanting to set up a soup kitchen , I think that 's amazing , I 'd be very happy for my space to be used for that , especially during the winter . " So , anything along those kinds of lines where it would be helping people in need . " The building used to be home to Laser Quest and UV Golf but was put on the market in the summer . Whilst Laura still plans to sell the building , she is more than happy for it to be used for good in the meantime . It would take a few months for paperwork on a sale to go through , so the space could be occupied until a sale is finalised . She wishes she could set-up something like this herself but would be unable to manage such a big project on her own due to health issues . " I 've always got a lot of pleasure out of helping people , giving to people , and bringing laughter and joy to children . That 's me , " she said . " Since Total Enigma has been unable to open , I 've been really quite down in myself , because I have n't been able to express that side . " I 've even been saying to my friends when the building does sell , I 've got the solar panel company , but part of me would like to set up some sort of charity , probably surrounding helping families of domestic violence , the children in the mental health system .

For so long Erling Haaland has given the impression of being impervious to outside noise . Roy Keane once even likened his general play to that of a League Two player but it made little difference : Manchester City 's prolific No 9 just kept on scoring . This is not the first time Haaland has missed a penalty for City but it arrived in a moment when the team and their star centre-forward feel particularly vulnerable and , when Jordan Pickford saved , that unease and uncertainty seemed to deepen the sense of foreboding in the stands where you could almost hear the home fans thinking : " Here we go again " . Everton might even have nicked all three points in stoppage time but could not make more of a couple of inviting breakaways , but this game turned in that instance in the 53rd minute when Haaland was denied from 12 yards by Pickford . All credit to Pickford for the save but it was still a penalty lacking conviction and accuracy and symptomatic of a team for whom everything seems to be hard going of late . Haaland did eventually get the ball in the net but from an offside position after Josko Gvardiol headed the rebound from Pickford 's save into his team-mate 's path . It is difficult to know to what extent Seamus Coleman was able to get inside Haaland 's head before Everton 's captain was pushed away by the striker and booked by referee Simon Hooper for his gamesmanship after chattering away in his opponent 's ear . Jordan Pickford trying to put Erling Haaland off before his penalty ... More likely is Haaland is simply feeling the weight of responsibility and suffering under the wider loss of confidence in a squad that look more mortal and susceptible than at any stage of Guardiola 's reign , his transitional first season included . Individually and collectively , City are struggling to respond to setbacks and this was another case in point . " We have to bounce back mentally , " a solemn Guardiola said . " Life is not easy and sport is not easy . We still had a lot of minutes to play and chances afterwards , except the uncontrolled game in the last minutes when anything could have happened . " With Haaland , it was not just the penalty miss . There were a couple of crosses against Everton that Haaland attempted to head back across goal that the confident version would doubtless have looked to be scoring from . Haaland has one goal now in his last seven Premier League outings -- his worst run since joining City two-and-a-half years ago -- and since the champions embarked on this dire run now compassing a solitary victory in 13 matches the Scandinavian has gone from averaging a goal every 81 minutes to one every 270 minutes . There had been a worrying over-reliance on Haaland for goals even before City 's form fell off a cliff but those concerns have become even more pronounced now the big man is in the midst of his own personal drought . Against Everton , there were signs of Phil Foden nudging his way towards better form and regaining a little zest but there is nothing particularly fluid about City 's attack at present . Jeremy Doku teed up Bernardo 's opening goal with a clever pass in behind and Savinho won the penalty after drawing a foul from Vitaliy Mykolenko but there is not nearly enough end product from either winger . Doku threatens to deliver plenty but seldom follows through on that sense of anticipation and Savinho always seems to want to take that extra touch before shooting . Everton , having levelled through a fine half volley from Iliman Ndiaye , never felt unduly stretched , although Bernardo should have done better with a chance from Foden 's tee-up and Pickford also denied Savinho . Five points from the last 27 available in the league puts City -- yes , the club that has won five of the last six titles -- bottom of the form table . Persistent injury problems are not helping , of course . City were without eight senior players here and named five academy graduates on their bench plus James McAtee , who can not get a game despite the troubles . It meant players like Nathan Ake being forced into action when the Dutchman would not have been risked had Guardiola had a full complement to choose from , but City 's issues run deeper than personnel problems . Everton , you sensed , picked up on the anxieties in City 's team -- and a flat , nervy crowd -- and with some better decision-making and perhaps more quality in attack they should have scored at least one more . Akanji knew little about a block from a shot from Orel Mangala that cannoned wide and Rico Lewis also got in the way of a shot from Abdoulaye Doucoure . Pep Guardiola was once again a pained figure on the touchline Credit : Reuters/Phil Noble Their best chance came with a three-on-one breakaway in stoppage time but substitute Armando Broja picked the wrong pass , playing the ball out to Jack Harrison whose shot was blocked , rather than the free man , Doucoure , on his inside . As beautifully taken as Everton 's equaliser by Ndiaye was earlier in the game , it highlighted City 's defensive frailties . Doku lost the ball and then City , to a man , stood off Doucoure . Even with time and space to pick his cross , the Everton midfielder 's delivery was not the best but Manuel Akanji misjudged his clearance and the ball skipped through to Ndiaye on the far side . Cushioning the ball with a lovely first touch , he then arrowed a half volley into the corner with minimal backlift . Everton had failed to score in six of their previous seven league games but this point followed battling goalless draws against Arsenal and Chelsea and underlined what a hard team they remain to break down . For Haaland and City , the challenges persist . Manchester City Manuel Akanji , speaking to Amazon Prime Video after the match , said : " We did way more in this game . We had lots of chances , and we conceded one goal basically out of nothing . " It was a game where we were able to score 3/4 , but it ca n't happen that we nearly lose the game in the last few stages , because there was something like a 6 on 2 . Luckily , I was able to block the shot but things like this ca n't happen . " Speaking on whether winning the Premier League is still possible for Manchester City : " The season is not finished , but it is not our target at the moment . " We defended well , we attacked well , we just were n't able to finish the actions . " Some majestic defending from Mykolenko has prevented Man City creating an opening , with the Ukrainian throwing his body to block a shot and then blocking Savinho from putting in a cross in quick succession . Hearts in mouths across the Etihad , as Mangala 's deflected long range strike almost wrongfoots goalkeeper Ortega , but the ball bounces outside the right hand post as the home side breathe a huge sigh of relief . Familiar woes for this fragile Man City team , who were seemingly cruising after taking the lead after 14 minutes . But Everton 's well-taken equaliser has created some major uncertainty in this contest , going into the break . Calvert-Lewin had the half 's final chance , when the Everton striker rose highest from a corner to head the ball towards goal , but his header ended up behind the stands before the half time whistle was blown . Everton have equalised with their first real chance in this match , and it 's a tremendous goal from Iliman Ndiaye that has earned them an equaliser . Abdoulaye Doucour ? is afforded far too much room to put in a wonderful ball into Ndiaye at the far post , who cushions the ball with his right foot , before showing Silva how to strike the ball with the outside of his boot , firing the ball brilliantly past Ortega . Man City have had a huge chance to double their lead , and Bernardo Silva should have done better . Foden lays the ball nicely into Silva 's path after combining with Haaland , but the Portuguese opts to strike the ball with the outside of his right foot , and the ball harmlessly flies wide of the goal . There 's a big challenge for Everton now they 're behind . Dyche 's side have failed to score in six of their last seven Premier League games , four of which ended in goalless draws . Dominic Calvert-Lewin is a picture of unsplendid isolation in this game so far and they 're going to have to ask more questions of a City back line that has been extremely fragile for weeks . Equally , Everton are going to need to take advantage of any set pieces they get . Man City are showing some signs of life so far in this encounter , and Savinho nearly forges an opening when the Brazilian jinks in from the right hand side but takes one touch too many before he can pull off a shot . Everton have ventured into Man City 's half for the first time , after soaking up some early pressure from the home side . Gueye collects the ball in midfield after Tarkowski wins his challenge , before the ball is worked out to Harrison on the right flank whose inswinging cross just misses the outstretched boot of Calvert-Lewin. Manchester City have dominated these opening stages , and have come very close to getting an early opener . A well-worked short corner sees Phil Foden sling a dangerous cross into Josko Gvardiol , and the Croatian defender 's header crashes onto the post and bounces out before being hurriedly cleared away by Everton . Credit : James Gill/Getty Images Everton manager Sean Dyche was in a very bullish mood before today 's match , stating that his team can inflict more damage upon a ' wounded ' Manchester City side . The 53 year old , who joined the club in January 2023 , spoke earlier this week about how City 's recent troubles resembled Manchester United 's lapse in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era , noting there was a period when sides felt beaten before they arrived at Old Trafford or the Etihad . Dyche said : " That 's how powerful the Premier League is . Man City with their strength and depth and their amazing manager are still finding it tough against everyone . They have n't done so for years but they do now and that is because the Premier League is a powerful league . They are amazing at what they do but one or two injuries , one or two awkward results , and it suddenly looks and feels different . " You go there to win anyway . But when the facts and stats start changing they add belief . That 's just the way sport works . If a team starts suffering a little bit , then it adds belief to whoever is going there . Remember under Sir Alex when people went to Old Trafford ? Even when they were down you would think they 'd score in Fergie-time . But once that started to break down a little bit people started to believe they could have a go . It 's not down to one team or one result , it 's down to that feel . That is what changes . If we can capitalise on that then great , but it 's not that easy . They are still a top class bunch of players . " Manchester City are unbeaten in their last 13 home Premier League matches against Everton , with eight victories and five draws in this period . Everton have won just one of their last 22 Premier League matches against Manchester City , enduring a defeat in 12 of the last 13 times the two sides have met in the top-flight . Manchester City have won six of their last seven Premier League Boxing Day games , barring a 2-1 loss at Leicester in December 2018 . They have won all seven of their Boxing Day home games since 2002 . Everton are undefeated in their last eight Boxing Day away games ( W5 D3 ) since a 4-0 loss at Aston Villa in 2005 , managing five wins and three draws in these fixtures . Five of the nine 0-0 draws in the Premier League this season have featured Everton ( 56% ) . 2008-09 was the last time they racked up this many 0-0 draws in a single season ( also 5 ) , while they last had more in 1998-99 ( 8 ) . Manchester City have let in the opening goal in nine different Premier League games this season -- only teams currently in the bottom four have done so more often this term ( Leicester 13 , Wolves 12 , Southampton 12 ) . Many people may have had this look of post-Christmas exhaustion waking up this morning . And who could blame Pep Guardiola if he woke up like this too earlier today , given the fact no Premier League side has gained fewer points since the start of November than his Manchester City team . ( 4 ) They have also conceded 2+ goals in seven of the eight matches in this run , as many times as they had in their previous 40 games . Good morning and welcome to the Telegraph 's live coverage of the first of eight Premier League fixtures taking place today on Boxing Day , as Manchester City take on Everton at the Etihad Stadium , which kicks off at 12:30pm . Manchester City 's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League this season are in serious danger . This would have sounded like an absurd proposition this time last year when the club were challenging for an eventual fourth consecutive Premier League title . However , this was the pre match gambit of manager Pep Guardiola before his team 's fixture against Everton this afternoon . The Spaniard , speaking at his pre-match press conference earlier this week , said : " When I said before , people laughed . They said , ' qualifying for the Champions League is not a big success ' . " But I know it because it happens with clubs in this country . They were dominant for many years and after they were many years not qualifying for the Champions League . " The one team that has been in the Champions League for the past years has been Manchester City . Now we are at risk , of course we are . Definitely . " There are a lot of contenders . For every club it is so important and if we are not winning games , we will be out . " If we do n't qualify it is because we do n't deserve it , because we were not prepared and because we had a lot of problems and did n't solve them . " After nine losses from their last 12 matches in all competitions , and with the club sitting seventh in the Premier League , three places and seven points worse off than last season , not qualifying for the Champions League appears to be less of a laughing matter for a club that has made it into the competition for the past 14 years . Can Manchester City return to winning ways against Everton , and get their nosediving campaign back on track ? Or will Everton , on the back of shout outs against Arsenal and Chelsea in recent league matches frustrate another top-six side and leave the Etihad with at least a point ? |

Spring , 1943 . Paddy Mayne takes control of the SAS following David Stirling 's capture , as attention turns from the conflict in North Africa to mainland Europe . But GHQ have cast doubt over the future of the regiment , while the creation of a second unit and an influx of new arrivals make things even more difficult for the men . Can they prove that the SAS remains essential to the war , wherever it may lead them ? Based on Ben Macintyre 's best-selling book of the same name . SAS Rogue Heroes series two is available in full on BBC iPlayer from 6am on New Year 's Day , and airs on BBC One from 9pm that night . Writer , creator and executive producer As a writer what do you enjoy about continuing a story , its characters , and their journey into a second series ? With something like SAS Rogue Heroes you 're compelled to continue because the story did happen and did continue . The fact is that the true story of the SAS is a piece of drama better than anyone in fiction could invent . The characters are beyond belief but , in the majority of cases in the series , they 're real . I said at the beginning when we were promoting the first series , some of the things that really happened I ca n't depict because no one would believe me . How does series two begin ? When David Stirling was taken prisoner of war the decision was made to put Paddy Mayne in charge . Paddy is the born rebel , he 's the one that punches the commanding officer , rather than being the commanding officer . What fascinated me all the way through reading the history was how Paddy dealt with that , and he did deal with it in an incredible and different way . I wanted Paddy front and centre , to look at his character , not brush over some of the flaws and understand -- as I think with all of the men actually -- that they were selected by war . Had it not been a time of war they probably would n't have thrived because as the Rudyard Kipling quote goes : " For it 's Tommy this , an ' Tommy that , an ' ' ' Chuck him out , the brute ! ' ' But it 's ' ' Saviour of ' is country , ' ' when the guns begin to shoot " -- it 's the person in the brawl or in the bar , suddenly they 're required . What new characters are we introduced to in series two and how do they disrupt the dynamic from the first ? Our team are now in Italy facing a totally different challenge to the desert . There are new people joining the regiment -- indeed there is a new regiment altogether , 2SAS -- and of course there are sparks and friction . The main change , which again this is the truth and something reality throws at us , is that when David Stirling was captured his brother Bill Stirling became a very prominent part of the SAS and 2SAS . Gwilym Lee 's performance is amazing as Bill Stirling ; a man who is good , honourable , straightforward but feels this pressure because of his brother . David is renowned as ' The Phantom Major ' , he 's done all this stuff . Bill as the older sibling has something of a sense of superiority and a desire to make the men respect him in the same way they respected David . This creates a lot of tension . But there are lots of new characters and all of them heroes . John Tonkin ( Jack Barton ) has the most incredible experiences and enacted the most heroic acts ; Jock McDiarmid ( Mark Rowley ) who was a wild Scotsman , force of nature and incredibly courageous . What was it like to delve deeper into the impact war has on people ? I find that element to the SAS the most interesting and compelling part . At this time these young men -- some of them as young as 19 or 20 -- are going through incredibly traumatic , horrific experiences which they will never unsee , never forget , ever . At the time there was no room for acknowledgment of that , no one was going to talk about it . The first example I came across was when I was researching series one and met one of the original SAS members , Mike Sadler . We were talking about one of the battles and he described how the Germans opened fire with machine guns , mortar and hand grenades ; " It was n't ideal " , he said . ' Not ideal ' is not how most people would describe that ... But with the SAS everything has a lid on it which is fantastic for the drama because what you ca n't do is explode -- because these guys did n't , they kept it under wraps and they did the most amazing things . They referred to these operations as ' going on a jolly ' , you could say that 's repression , dangerous and instead of bottling it all up they should get it all out in the open but however it worked somehow . It 's almost as if the use of the language is daring the emotion to come out of hiding . When it does happen , when people are torn apart inside it comes through , it gets in . It 's about seeing these stone structures with a crack in them . I enjoyed portraying these things knowing you ca n't do it by showing a heart to heart . Jack O'Connell ( Paddy Mayne ) ( Image : BBC/Banijay UK/Ludovic Robert ) How did it feel when you heard there was going to be a second series ? When I jumped into this , read the book and saw that series one only went up to a certain point the question was ' are we going again ? ' , and the feedback was always ' more than likely ' . A second series was n't a massive surprise but it was a relief and exciting because the team are such a good bunch . I think we all expected to go back at it . How did it feel to return to the role of Paddy again ? I love this character , in terms of the man himself we can do all the research in the world but at the end of the day it 's what Steven Knight has offered on page that has to be the main guidance . We do obviously tell a historical tale but it 's quite reimagined , there 's a lot of room to play with within that . Reading series two it feels like a continuation . When the scripts came through we were all buzzing , it 's got Steven Knight 's imprint on it and the scripts were banging . Where did we leave Paddy at the end of series one , and where do we meet him at the start of series two ? At the end of series one David Stirling is captured so that put him out of the running , the natural appointment then was to promote Paddy . This is a new arena for Paddy , I do n't think we 've seen him in that role before . He struggles with leadership in that official capacity , that was interesting to play around with . Also , as did happen in reality , Paddy was in a bit of trouble again -- he was denied leave to go to his father 's funeral , reacted outwardly and there were some consequences , so we pick up with him at the start of series two in jail . He 's very aggrieved but there 's a job to do , the SAS are needed for the invasion of Europe . Paddy returns back into the fold in a leadership role and they head to Italy . It 's a really heroic story that we get to portray . How are the SAS used differently in series two , compared to the desert campaigns of series one ? Throughout the series we see Paddy conflicted with how his unit has been repurposed for the different type of warfare they 're being asked to do . This is frustrating for Paddy because they 're remodelled almost to a regular commando unit , whereas before there was a kind of piracy to what they were doing , like bandit warfare . I think Paddy romanticised that way of doing things , being dropped behind enemy lines covertly , wrecking all their hardware and leaving them under resourced . Now the SAS are getting thrown at enemy positions way ahead of the main invasion which does n't sit well in terms of odds and mortality rate . It was n't really acknowledging their specific skillset , this was an interesting point of view to take on . Seeing Paddy frustrated by this throughout the series was a nice constant thread . But it 's an amazing campaign that they go on , hugely important in dictating the overall outcome of the war . We 're detailing campaigns that took place before D-Day that sometimes get overlooked . There are big moments in series two including historic battles , what was it like to recreate those ? The antithesis of what I think we try to work towards in SAS Rogue Heroes is just a bunch of unemotional , two-dimension , super army soldiers -- that 's our antithesis . Steven Knight is too intelligent as a writer to be guilty of that . We 're in a very fascinating era when what people our age achieved was something quite unimaginable to what we can compare to . There is always a mindfulness to layer the story and show the human cost , not portray people as cardboard cutouts , because there has to be a human cost to what they do . Something I feel strongly about is there must 've been a huge bearing , psychologically speaking . I think it 's a very useful example to see what happens when these people are in the biggest extremities of war and are fighting for an overall cause that we now all benefit from . To try and understand that emotional cost on the individual is something Steven Knight gives us in the writing . This cast is a bunch of actors I love to watch -- to see how they portray their roles , it makes it quite unique because it 's individualistic . There is an unravelling and it 's sensitively done , we spend time with them in the story and really take a close look at what these levels of grief do . The traditional way of handling it was , I guess , a big piss-up afterwards , a massive wake with alcohol to numb the short-term pain . But there 's also a long-term effect that 's felt , we see that seed get planted in episode one with something they all have to endure , we see them being put in this horrific scenario that haunts them throughout this whole story . Our hope is that we can realise that and show the human tale behind it because none of these characters are totally numb , they all have their own patterns and mechanisms in how they survive and sustain that amount of mental torture that they all have to bear . What was it like to be joined by new actors and new characters in series two ? They are a good bunch , credit to all the lads it 's just the best job in the world . You have to dig deep in this job , you 're up against it . It 's an ambitious story and in order achieve it you have to suck it up and get on with it quite a lot , which is good because it has to be difficult ; if it was too easy then it would n't be that much of an enjoyable drama to watch . I feel that anything that has ' SAS ' in it is n't going to be cups of tea , dressing gown and slippers , sitting pretty . The lads have been great , they 've jumped on board and got on with the spirit of things . How has it been working with series two director Stephen Woolfenden ? Great - he adopted the spirit and understood that it was going to be quite ' rogue ' early on . He stepped into preparation way before any of us , looking around Sicily and absorbing stock footage and whatever he could to mentally prepare for the story . I think what we needed in series two were even more bangs , fizzes , whistles and pops , and Stephen 's definitely well-versed with making something look visceral and exciting in terms of the action . He 's definitely bought value , he 's made things look threatening and frightening . What can viewers look forward to in series two ? A portrayal of amazing feats of what these lads got up to being first on the ground in mainland Europe , putting the fascists on the backfoot and running them up through Italy . Also some great characters , great portrayals and a brilliant script . The characters are really distinct , and just as fascinating as we had before . Series one has its own unique set of challenges and the second does again , but what 's great is following these lads -- all their dark humour , seeing them sustain themselves against all of the adversities they go through . The second series of SAS Rogue Heroes introduces a lot of new and interesting characters , we see David Stirling missing out on a lot of the action that 's happening in Italy . It 's very different , there is a lot more civilian influence and storytelling in the show which is totally different to what we saw in the desert , this is a new obstacle for the guys of the SAS to face . Where did we leave the SAS at the end of series one and where do we meet them in series two ? We pick up after David Stirling 's capture and Paddy Mayne being allocated the new leader of the SAS . We now find Paddy leading his boys in a very Paddy-like fashion whilst David rattles away in his cell very begrudgingly . Largely , the story for David 's part is him coming to terms with the fact he is missing out on all the action -- which is how I felt too , because I was missing out on all the fun ! Everyone was shooting in very wonderful conditions and I was in a cave . How has it felt to return to this role ? It 's been great to step back into David Stirling 's shoes , after the first series I did n't realise how much I 'd miss playing David . I felt really honoured and extremely grateful when I got the call to come back . Slipping back into his shoes was something that was surprisingly very easy and also something that I really enjoyed . He is such an interesting character and I felt like I only got to scratch the surface in the first series , so picking him up in a completely different environment was really fun . What is like to play a different side to this role in such a different context ? It 's been an extremely fun challenge to play someone who is so unafraid to take up space in a room but has been confined to a particular corner of a dark and dingy place . He ca n't do anything about this and he has to relinquish control . He 's someone who has always been trying to gain control by opening himself up to failure a lot of the time , that 's what I tried to play with in the first series and what Tom Shankland ( series one director ) and I mined . I think during series two the challenge has been that this is about David being on his own for the first time in his life , and for me as an actor that 's really fun . It was a challenge to shoot at times , but ultimately it 's been a great joy and an honour . It 's been a completely different job really , a strange experience because the first series was so intense for such different reasons ; we were in the desert , fighting the elements . For me this time being away from everyone in the big group , it felt like such a different experience . But I 'm really glad that we got to tell David 's story . What were you most excited about after reading the series two scripts ? The main things were David 's problem-solving brain and putting that into action , and him descending into madness . He 's thirsty and malnourished . I lost a lot of weight for this series . I knew in reading the scripts I was going to have to and that was a big challenge , as it 's something I 've not done before . I felt like I had to do that in order to get to this place , I had to try and live as much like David as I could . To feel the hunger of " I need to get out of here " . I did n't realise how helpful it was going to be to lose weight for a project like this , but it was really helpful . Eve is back for series two as well ? I really enjoyed working with Sofia for the first series , being able to tell more of the story between David and Eve has been really fun . As always with TV these things are shot so quickly and Sofia is so great at getting into the rhythm so brilliantly , and helping me along the way a lot of the time as well . We did a really great job I think of carving out a nice story for those two . Eve is a primary motivator for David 's desire to escape , alongside missing out on the action of it all . Having that be a driving force for him was really important for the arc we all created for David across the series . We get to meet David 's older brother Bill this series . How would you describe him , and how does he shake up the dynamic ? In series two we meet Bill Stirling , played by the ever profound and brilliant Gwilym Lee who is a dear friend of mine . I was extremely happy to hear when he told me he was going to play my big brother . He 's brilliant , more of a voice of reason in the Stirling family who tries to follow in their father 's footsteps , more than David did . What were the locations like for shooting the prison scenes ? The prison set has been actually quite hard . We 've shot in a couple of different places , one of which was an old World War Two barracks , this amazing fortress built into a cliff in Chatham . There was a great long walk to get there and thin passages we had to crawl through . It was really interesting to be fortunate enough to shoot in a place that was used in World War Two . But it was hard , with a lot of creeping around on my hands and knees . And yes there were a couple of rats I got the great privilege to work with in some scenes . They were very cute , very sweet and I enjoyed that a lot -- they enjoyed eating biscuits off my chest . What has it been like working with Stephen Woolfenden ? He 's such a brilliant collaborator who 's had some brilliant ideas . He 's really allowed me , with David in this unknown environment , to be extremely in control of the emotional arc during this period . Stephen 's also has some amazing input and I feel privileged I 've got to work with him , he has brilliant insight for the story and the time . How do you think series two differs from the first ? I think series two differs a lot in visual terms - it 's a different paintbrush used in a completely different way . It 's change for the better I think , as in the first series we saw these characters in a very extreme environment , and now we 've put them somewhere that 's very different but no less interesting and we see them work out how to flourish once again . There 's a stark difference between who they were as people - they 've all grown and they continue to do so whilst going through a deeply horrific , dark period of history . Steven Knight has said before that these might be the guys who got thrown out of pubs back in peacetime , but in war they 're the guys we need . We see this again with them in Italy , in a brilliant way . Sofia Boutella ( Eve Mansour ) ( Image : BBC/Banijay UK/Robert Viglasky ) How would you introduce series two ? Series two begins a couple of months on from series one . After liberating North Africa from the Nazis , the SAS make their way to Italy towards some important battles . How does it feel to step back into Eve 's boots ? We get to see a new side of Eve . I think if you see her character , how she 's a fighter and does n't let go , it makes sense that she 'd have this new side . In series two you get to explore Eve in action on the front line , but it was important to me that it was n't just her being a ' bad ass ' . It was n't about her looking or feeling like she knows exactly what she 's doing . Just because Eve was taught when she was young how to shoot and kill with a gun it does n't mean that once she 's in front of a human being it 's easy for her to apply . I do n't think Eve enjoys killing , period , and she says that to Bill Stirling . It really affects her , and I think there are layers of trauma building underneath . Eve is in a very different situation in series two . David is a prisoner of war and she meets his brother Bill - what is that like for her ? David being in prison changes the dynamic for Eve compared to series one , as it really raises the stakes of the liberation , getting through the war , and accomplishing her duty and mission . She 's very protective of David and so when she meets Bill and learns of the changes he is making to the SAS it rubs her the wrong way immediately . Eve has to deal with men in everything she does , and when she meets Bill she 's guarded because here is another man who does n't think she can do it . Series two delves deeper into the psychological impact of war . How does that impact Eve and the men of the SAS ? I understand how , now time has passed , we can make dramas about the second World War that are intertwined with some fun and humour , but I keep reminding myself that -- with some exceptions -- these characters are based on real people and we 're telling their stories . When I read the series two scripts I saw that we 're really going there and diving into the psychology this time . The darkness of having to be these men ; the lives they had , how young they were , and the sacrifice they all had to make . In series two you get to see the impact war has on humanity and individuals , you get to explore intimately what that does to one 's brain and heart . I personally get attached to every single character , all of the SAS , and I think the audience is getting attached to them too . What do you think the most exciting aspect of series two is ? As well as diving deeper into the psychology of each character and how the impact of the war is affecting them , there are spectacular action sequences to dive into and get a feel of what it was like to be in the field . How was it working with the new members of the cast ? Eve is very laser-focused so she only works with two or three people , but outside of work I had the chance to meet incredible people . I do n't know if for series one it was because we were in the middle of covid , all isolated but together , or the brilliant casting -- but on a human level I met absolutely ace people and that carried on for series two . Once again the new cast and crew were spot on , good people . Gwilym Lee ( Bill Stirling ) ( Image : BBC/Banijay UK/Ludovic Robert ) How would you describe Bill and how does he fit into series two ? I play Lieutenant Colonel Bill Stirling , David Stirling 's older brother . He is the head of their aristocratic Scottish family and so is used to being an authority figure in a position of responsibility . At the end of the first series we see David has been taken prisoner of war and now the regiment is left in limbo with Paddy Mayne in command , and Paddy is a loose cannon . The future of the regiment is in doubt because the upper echelons of the British Army despise and resent it in many ways . Bill comes on board to try and save the regiment . He tries to do his best to help Paddy Mayne with guidance and some firm words to ensure the future of the SAS - which does n't go down particularly well with Paddy . The journey of the series is about Bill trying to find the best way to manage Paddy , and to harness his potential . Bill is n't naive - he trained commando units for years before we are introduced to him in the series , so he is well accustomed to people like Paddy Mayne and recognises his brilliance as a warrior . The challenge is how to hone and control that temperament , which becomes a difficult learning curve for Bill across the series . How does Bill differ to his brother David ? Bill is described in the show as being the brother who did n't fall out of a tree and hit his head when he was younger . He is perhaps more serious and diplomatic than his colourful younger brother and is somewhat more of an enigma . His approach to leadership is totally different to David 's . First of all he 's not so much on the battlefield - he plays more of a strategic almost political role . Bill is the liaison between GCHQ and the regiment and he is constantly going back and forth to GCHQ , defending the SAS and discussing how they should be used . During this period the SAS are used as shock troops - special formations created to lead military attacks - much to Paddy 's disappointment . But what Paddy and the SAS do n't know is that behind the scenes Bill is grafting to change that and is dealing with some very powerful people in the shape of Generals Dempsey and Montgomery . He does all of this quietly and determinedly without fanfare as he was n't a man who was concerned with legacy or notoriety , he just believed in the SAS and its survival . What was it like to joining the cast and become part of the SAS Rogue Heroes family ? I 've loved being embraced by them , it 's a really special job . It can be tricky coming into a second series with a really established cast of actors and a great crew , as you worry about ruffling feathers or breaking into a clique , but there was none of that whatsoever . It was open arms from day one . It 's an incredible story we 're telling about some really brave and courageous people , and we all feel that weight of responsibility . There is a passion in everything we do in order to do justice to this story . What do you think viewers will enjoy most about series two ? It 's a different period of the war , therefore it immediately has a very different feel to it . We 're moving away from the desert and into mainland Europe and with that there are encounters with civilians and resistance groups . The SAS is being taken in a different direction in terms of having to act more as a conventional commando unit , but it still has this rogue-ish element to it with this wild bunch of warriors . You still have that anarchic energy which is ever present . You start to see the effects of war on individuals in this series . You really see the toll it takes on them mentally and physically . What were the standout moments of filming for you ? There was so many , it 's been such a joyful job . My first day on set was pretty standout because I was just buzzing to be a part of it , and it was a moment of action for Bill . It was Bill and 2SAS charging into battle for the first time as this new regiment to act as reinforcements . I was in the full battle gear speeding down a dirt track in a jeep with a gun by my side and shouting to charge through a check point . That was very exciting ! Me and Stuart Thompson , who plays Greville-Bell , were doing our best not to just scream like little giddy children because the adrenaline was pumping and we were far too excited . I loved grappling and getting to lock horns with Jack O'Connell as well . He is a class act and I 've always loved watching his work . He 's just up for it , he 's up for the scrap and that 's a really exciting place to be -- not knowing what 's happening next , being on your toes with another actor . Where did we leave Dudley at the end of the first series , and where do we meet him at the start of this one ? We left him in series one depressed , drunk and sweating in Cairo playing mind games with everybody . We find him now , I think , slightly more ebullient. , It 's moving towards the end of the war so things are starting to look better . He 's ' on the wagon ' , briefly , and he 's still playing mind games but he 's back in England and he 's more cheerful . How was it reuniting with fellow cast members ? And being joined by new characters ? It 's great because I did a play , Othello , with Gwilym Lee about ten years ago . We had a great time but I had n't seen him since except for watching him in Bohemian Rhapsody and in other parts . Theo Barklem-Biggs is an old friend from a play we did at the Donmar . So I know a few of the boys but it 's lovely to be back with all of them . I 've got great scenes with Jack O'Connell in series two . Jack has a rare intensity and authenticity , it 's hard to find actors that can embody this level of tough courage and Jack 's one of the few . It 's such a great job for me , this . I spend most of my time with Sofia Boutella in ballrooms drinking and dancing - what could be better ? ! Sofia has danced with Madonna and Michael Jackson , and now I 've danced with her ! We see a different side to many of the men in series two , is it the same for Dudley ? I think Steven Knight has written that aspect really beautifully , the PTSD . Now he 's introduced the characters to everyone , Steven has a bit more time to delve a little deeper and I think that 's really interesting for viewers . As for Dudley , because we got quite a lot of his dark side last time , maybe it 's time for the light . What can we look forward to in series two ? More of the excitement , sweat , toil and tears of war that we had in series one . But also I feel a certain pride in this regiment , which is the first and best special forces regiment in the world . In the acting game you get to do a lot of the American view of things and this is steadfastly a British point of view , which is really refreshing . Reg Seekings ( Theo Barklem-Biggs ) . ( Image : BBC/Banijay Rights ) How did you feel when you heard there would be a second series ? I was chuffed certainly , of course I was . I knew where we would be and I knew the impact that Reg Seekings had on Sicily and the impact it had on him . I was certainly excited and hoped that Steven Knight would tuck into that part of the story , so I 'm very grateful that he has . What does series two have in store ? The stakes are higher in general , there 's more action and more trauma . Certainly for Seekings there 's more struggle with the ' inner witness ' . There 's more inner turmoil and Seekings coming to terms with what he 's maybe becoming . How did it feel to step back into Seekings ' boots ? I was very excited to step back into Reg 's boots , but it came with a lot of weight . I had to dig deep into my own pockets , because as an actor you want to find your similarities . I 've never been to war , but there 's some stuff that one can find to draw from . It was weighty for me but a challenge that I loved and I 'm very grateful for . What were your stand-out moments making series two ? I remember specifically the first week in Croatia , as we started off with a load of explosions and a heavy amount of emotion for Seekings . That stood out as an entry , thinking ' right , we are back ' . Also my scenes with a new member of the cast , Mark Rowley , who plays Jock McDiarmid . Seekings has a constant back and forth with him which is quite fun ... maybe Reg has met his match . What do you think viewers will enjoy about series two ? If you enjoyed the first series -- the action , the fast-paced nature , the poetic language from Steven Knight and the rhythm to it -- I think series two has all that and more . There 's lots more action , trauma , and drama . ( Image : Banijay UK/Robert Viglasky ) What excited you about joining this project ? I was very excited to join series two for many reasons . I binge watched the first in two three hour sittings . It hit me off the screen , I loved the journey the characters went on and the cinematic scale of the desert . I loved the tone of the piece , it had swagger and thoughtfulness but it had great exposition and events -- and it was true . I think series one gave us a fantastic taste of the type of people these men were . The bravery , the skills they had and the revolution of the type of warfare they were creating . It all came alive on the screen . How have you found joining the project at the point of its second series ? I think the second series takes a great leap in terms of where the characters go . We have to go on a really delicate , intimate journey with the cast as they invade and journey through Sicily then mainland Italy - during which they have these amazing adventures both as a group and as individuals . Where series two differs is when our cast have to interact with the public they are liberating . It 's the first time they 're meeting the people they are freeing , fighting for and being thanked for that . They 're being hugged , kissed and celebrated , which can be difficult when they 've been through so much . PTSD plays a big part in the series . We go on some particular journeys where the group go through some horrifying experiences , and this really attracted me to Steven Knight 's writing . You want to work on a Steven Knight show because he goes deep into the history , he finds the most amazing details , magnifies them and frames our characters through those details . There is great chemistry between Bill Stirling and Paddy Mayne . How did you all achieve this ? The scenes between Bill and Paddy are great fun - they 're great spectacle , and they show two actors right at the top of their game . Paddy Mayne defecates in front of Bill Stirling within the first seven minutes of episode one - what could possibly go wrong ? ! With Gwilym and Jack we worked on their scenes a lot , and there 's a tremendous energy and ferocity to the way they say lines . There 's great threat , jousting and natural blocking . Please tell us about the locations for series two For series two we shot in Croatia , which was standing in for Italy , and we shot in Gavi -- the real Gavi prison in Italy - alongside various locations in the UK . We shot the landing craft sequence at the biggest outdoor water tank in the UK , Leavesden Studios , though as a viewer you wo n't for one moment think that 's where we are . All of our Croatian locations were up in the Istrian peninsula in the north-east of the country . This area used to be Italian 100 years ago so the architecture is very Italian-influenced . We were thrilled to be able to stage street battles with explosions and gunfire , vehicles and lots of extras in the town squares and streets of Istria . In fact , one of the town squares we shot in was Vizinada - the location for the final sequence in the film Kelly 's Heroes in 1969 . That sequence was a big face-off between US and German tanks . As soon as I found this history out , we had to film there and we took a German tank into the square for the first time since 1969 - and I met some old men who had been extras on that fantastic film . What a thrill . How did you feel about the return of Eve ? It was a joy to discover that Eve Mansour was back . I think everyone is very grateful that this wonderful character lives in our story again . She is passionate about France and , knowing that Paddy Mayne is somebody of great significance in the war , she 's hugely respectful of the SAS ' journey and what they 're doing . She knows if she stays close to the SAS she 'll find out more about what she needs to do to help France regain power . There 's also another agenda for Eve , because she knows that if she stays close to the SAS she can stay close to Bill Stirling and therefore David Stirling . Eve builds a relationship with the SAS in Italy and she gains their trust , and the trust of Paddy . She fights alongside them so the respect goes both ways . Please tell us about the action in series two , which as a director you have a lot of experience in ... From a director 's point of view the action is very , very important , but it 's only important because you 're putting your characters right amongst it . Everything that we tried to design was about putting the actors in a real landing craft , or in the street with German soldiers . What happens when those actors have to search those soldiers ? What happens when those actors have to find the solider , shoot at them and arrest them ? The action works in this series because you 're putting your actors in those situations and that 's the interesting part -- it 's what the actors want and what the director wants too . What I found in the edit is , unless these sequences are driven by those characters , those action sequences they do n't work . What have been the most challenging things to bring to the screen ? Series two was shot in 81 days in Croatia , Italy , England and Scotland . It was a phenomenal achievement - carefully and creatively managed by Stephen Smallwood the Producer and our great cast and crew . The big action scenes were certainly challenging -- such the landing craft , the landing on the beaches and scaling up a cliff . That 's all beautifully choreographed action and you have to buy into what your actors , stunt performers and supporting cast can achieve on a night . You only have a certain amount of takes before people get tired , people starting tripping and slipping . You have to be incredibly diligent about those sequences , to make sure you 're not doing too many takes and that every take has real value , and you have to get as much production value from it . The other complex element in SAS Rogue Heroes is the emotional scenes -- and for me this was an absolute revelation and a joy . The quality of the acting in series two is so wonderful . We go into such an interesting space with some of the characters . How did you prepare for filming the impact the war has on the men of the SAS ? Each of the characters suffer in their own particular way . Reg Seekings , for instance , is carrying an awful lot . He has closed himself off from the rest of the unit , and ca n't really express himself . Part of the preparation I did was to look at some of the research material . There 's amazing footage of the real Seekings talking about his experiences , and that was just heartbreaking ; to be able to refer to and learn from that , to talk to actor Theo Barklem-Biggs about it , and to try and weave a way of trying to understand that into the series . I think Theo does an amazing job in the role , of trying to remain human when we know he is forever changed by the horror of what he 's been though . Doing all of that research , seeing those men talk about the real events that you 're shooting , was important because this is something we wanted to get right . |

Spring , 1943 . Paddy Mayne takes control of the SAS following David Stirling 's capture , as attention turns from the conflict in North Africa to mainland Europe . But GHQ have cast doubt over the future of the regiment , while the creation of a second unit and an influx of new arrivals make things even more difficult for the men . Can they prove that the SAS remains essential to the war , wherever it may lead them ? Based on Ben Macintyre 's best-selling book of the same name . SAS Rogue Heroes series two is available in full on BBC iPlayer from 6am on New Year 's Day , and airs on BBC One from 9pm that night . Writer , creator and executive producer As a writer what do you enjoy about continuing a story , its characters , and their journey into a second series ? With something like SAS Rogue Heroes you 're compelled to continue because the story did happen and did continue . The fact is that the true story of the SAS is a piece of drama better than anyone in fiction could invent . The characters are beyond belief but , in the majority of cases in the series , they 're real . I said at the beginning when we were promoting the first series , some of the things that really happened I ca n't depict because no one would believe me . How does series two begin ? When David Stirling was taken prisoner of war the decision was made to put Paddy Mayne in charge . Paddy is the born rebel , he 's the one that punches the commanding officer , rather than being the commanding officer . What fascinated me all the way through reading the history was how Paddy dealt with that , and he did deal with it in an incredible and different way . I wanted Paddy front and centre , to look at his character , not brush over some of the flaws and understand -- as I think with all of the men actually -- that they were selected by war . Had it not been a time of war they probably would n't have thrived because as the Rudyard Kipling quote goes : " For it 's Tommy this , an ' Tommy that , an ' ' ' Chuck him out , the brute ! ' ' But it 's ' ' Saviour of ' is country , ' ' when the guns begin to shoot " -- it 's the person in the brawl or in the bar , suddenly they 're required . What new characters are we introduced to in series two and how do they disrupt the dynamic from the first ? Our team are now in Italy facing a totally different challenge to the desert . There are new people joining the regiment -- indeed there is a new regiment altogether , 2SAS -- and of course there are sparks and friction . The main change , which again this is the truth and something reality throws at us , is that when David Stirling was captured his brother Bill Stirling became a very prominent part of the SAS and 2SAS . Gwilym Lee 's performance is amazing as Bill Stirling ; a man who is good , honourable , straightforward but feels this pressure because of his brother . David is renowned as ' The Phantom Major ' , he 's done all this stuff . Bill as the older sibling has something of a sense of superiority and a desire to make the men respect him in the same way they respected David . This creates a lot of tension . But there are lots of new characters and all of them heroes . John Tonkin ( Jack Barton ) has the most incredible experiences and enacted the most heroic acts ; Jock McDiarmid ( Mark Rowley ) who was a wild Scotsman , force of nature and incredibly courageous . What was it like to delve deeper into the impact war has on people ? I find that element to the SAS the most interesting and compelling part . At this time these young men -- some of them as young as 19 or 20 -- are going through incredibly traumatic , horrific experiences which they will never unsee , never forget , ever . At the time there was no room for acknowledgment of that , no one was going to talk about it . The first example I came across was when I was researching series one and met one of the original SAS members , Mike Sadler . We were talking about one of the battles and he described how the Germans opened fire with machine guns , mortar and hand grenades ; " It was n't ideal " , he said . ' Not ideal ' is not how most people would describe that ... But with the SAS everything has a lid on it which is fantastic for the drama because what you ca n't do is explode -- because these guys did n't , they kept it under wraps and they did the most amazing things . They referred to these operations as ' going on a jolly ' , you could say that 's repression , dangerous and instead of bottling it all up they should get it all out in the open but however it worked somehow . It 's almost as if the use of the language is daring the emotion to come out of hiding . When it does happen , when people are torn apart inside it comes through , it gets in . It 's about seeing these stone structures with a crack in them . I enjoyed portraying these things knowing you ca n't do it by showing a heart to heart . Jack O'Connell ( Paddy Mayne ) ( Image : BBC/Banijay UK/Ludovic Robert ) How did it feel when you heard there was going to be a second series ? When I jumped into this , read the book and saw that series one only went up to a certain point the question was ' are we going again ? ' , and the feedback was always ' more than likely ' . A second series was n't a massive surprise but it was a relief and exciting because the team are such a good bunch . I think we all expected to go back at it . How did it feel to return to the role of Paddy again ? I love this character , in terms of the man himself we can do all the research in the world but at the end of the day it 's what Steven Knight has offered on page that has to be the main guidance . We do obviously tell a historical tale but it 's quite reimagined , there 's a lot of room to play with within that . Reading series two it feels like a continuation . When the scripts came through we were all buzzing , it 's got Steven Knight 's imprint on it and the scripts were banging . Where did we leave Paddy at the end of series one , and where do we meet him at the start of series two ? At the end of series one David Stirling is captured so that put him out of the running , the natural appointment then was to promote Paddy . This is a new arena for Paddy , I do n't think we 've seen him in that role before . He struggles with leadership in that official capacity , that was interesting to play around with . Also , as did happen in reality , Paddy was in a bit of trouble again -- he was denied leave to go to his father 's funeral , reacted outwardly and there were some consequences , so we pick up with him at the start of series two in jail . He 's very aggrieved but there 's a job to do , the SAS are needed for the invasion of Europe . Paddy returns back into the fold in a leadership role and they head to Italy . It 's a really heroic story that we get to portray . How are the SAS used differently in series two , compared to the desert campaigns of series one ? Throughout the series we see Paddy conflicted with how his unit has been repurposed for the different type of warfare they 're being asked to do . This is frustrating for Paddy because they 're remodelled almost to a regular commando unit , whereas before there was a kind of piracy to what they were doing , like bandit warfare . I think Paddy romanticised that way of doing things , being dropped behind enemy lines covertly , wrecking all their hardware and leaving them under resourced . Now the SAS are getting thrown at enemy positions way ahead of the main invasion which does n't sit well in terms of odds and mortality rate . It was n't really acknowledging their specific skillset , this was an interesting point of view to take on . Seeing Paddy frustrated by this throughout the series was a nice constant thread . But it 's an amazing campaign that they go on , hugely important in dictating the overall outcome of the war . We 're detailing campaigns that took place before D-Day that sometimes get overlooked . There are big moments in series two including historic battles , what was it like to recreate those ? The antithesis of what I think we try to work towards in SAS Rogue Heroes is just a bunch of unemotional , two-dimension , super army soldiers -- that 's our antithesis . Steven Knight is too intelligent as a writer to be guilty of that . We 're in a very fascinating era when what people our age achieved was something quite unimaginable to what we can compare to . There is always a mindfulness to layer the story and show the human cost , not portray people as cardboard cutouts , because there has to be a human cost to what they do . Something I feel strongly about is there must 've been a huge bearing , psychologically speaking . I think it 's a very useful example to see what happens when these people are in the biggest extremities of war and are fighting for an overall cause that we now all benefit from . To try and understand that emotional cost on the individual is something Steven Knight gives us in the writing . This cast is a bunch of actors I love to watch -- to see how they portray their roles , it makes it quite unique because it 's individualistic . There is an unravelling and it 's sensitively done , we spend time with them in the story and really take a close look at what these levels of grief do . The traditional way of handling it was , I guess , a big piss-up afterwards , a massive wake with alcohol to numb the short-term pain . But there 's also a long-term effect that 's felt , we see that seed get planted in episode one with something they all have to endure , we see them being put in this horrific scenario that haunts them throughout this whole story . Our hope is that we can realise that and show the human tale behind it because none of these characters are totally numb , they all have their own patterns and mechanisms in how they survive and sustain that amount of mental torture that they all have to bear . What was it like to be joined by new actors and new characters in series two ? They are a good bunch , credit to all the lads it 's just the best job in the world . You have to dig deep in this job , you 're up against it . It 's an ambitious story and in order achieve it you have to suck it up and get on with it quite a lot , which is good because it has to be difficult ; if it was too easy then it would n't be that much of an enjoyable drama to watch . I feel that anything that has ' SAS ' in it is n't going to be cups of tea , dressing gown and slippers , sitting pretty . The lads have been great , they 've jumped on board and got on with the spirit of things . How has it been working with series two director Stephen Woolfenden ? Great - he adopted the spirit and understood that it was going to be quite ' rogue ' early on . He stepped into preparation way before any of us , looking around Sicily and absorbing stock footage and whatever he could to mentally prepare for the story . I think what we needed in series two were even more bangs , fizzes , whistles and pops , and Stephen 's definitely well-versed with making something look visceral and exciting in terms of the action . He 's definitely bought value , he 's made things look threatening and frightening . What can viewers look forward to in series two ? A portrayal of amazing feats of what these lads got up to being first on the ground in mainland Europe , putting the fascists on the backfoot and running them up through Italy . Also some great characters , great portrayals and a brilliant script . The characters are really distinct , and just as fascinating as we had before . Series one has its own unique set of challenges and the second does again , but what 's great is following these lads -- all their dark humour , seeing them sustain themselves against all of the adversities they go through . The second series of SAS Rogue Heroes introduces a lot of new and interesting characters , we see David Stirling missing out on a lot of the action that 's happening in Italy . It 's very different , there is a lot more civilian influence and storytelling in the show which is totally different to what we saw in the desert , this is a new obstacle for the guys of the SAS to face . Where did we leave the SAS at the end of series one and where do we meet them in series two ? We pick up after David Stirling 's capture and Paddy Mayne being allocated the new leader of the SAS . We now find Paddy leading his boys in a very Paddy-like fashion whilst David rattles away in his cell very begrudgingly . Largely , the story for David 's part is him coming to terms with the fact he is missing out on all the action -- which is how I felt too , because I was missing out on all the fun ! Everyone was shooting in very wonderful conditions and I was in a cave . How has it felt to return to this role ? It 's been great to step back into David Stirling 's shoes , after the first series I did n't realise how much I 'd miss playing David . I felt really honoured and extremely grateful when I got the call to come back . Slipping back into his shoes was something that was surprisingly very easy and also something that I really enjoyed . He is such an interesting character and I felt like I only got to scratch the surface in the first series , so picking him up in a completely different environment was really fun . What is like to play a different side to this role in such a different context ? It 's been an extremely fun challenge to play someone who is so unafraid to take up space in a room but has been confined to a particular corner of a dark and dingy place . He ca n't do anything about this and he has to relinquish control . He 's someone who has always been trying to gain control by opening himself up to failure a lot of the time , that 's what I tried to play with in the first series and what Tom Shankland ( series one director ) and I mined . I think during series two the challenge has been that this is about David being on his own for the first time in his life , and for me as an actor that 's really fun . It was a challenge to shoot at times , but ultimately it 's been a great joy and an honour . It 's been a completely different job really , a strange experience because the first series was so intense for such different reasons ; we were in the desert , fighting the elements . For me this time being away from everyone in the big group , it felt like such a different experience . But I 'm really glad that we got to tell David 's story . What were you most excited about after reading the series two scripts ? The main things were David 's problem-solving brain and putting that into action , and him descending into madness . He 's thirsty and malnourished . I lost a lot of weight for this series . I knew in reading the scripts I was going to have to and that was a big challenge , as it 's something I 've not done before . I felt like I had to do that in order to get to this place , I had to try and live as much like David as I could . To feel the hunger of " I need to get out of here " . I did n't realise how helpful it was going to be to lose weight for a project like this , but it was really helpful . Eve is back for series two as well ? I really enjoyed working with Sofia for the first series , being able to tell more of the story between David and Eve has been really fun . As always with TV these things are shot so quickly and Sofia is so great at getting into the rhythm so brilliantly , and helping me along the way a lot of the time as well . We did a really great job I think of carving out a nice story for those two . Eve is a primary motivator for David 's desire to escape , alongside missing out on the action of it all . Having that be a driving force for him was really important for the arc we all created for David across the series . We get to meet David 's older brother Bill this series . How would you describe him , and how does he shake up the dynamic ? In series two we meet Bill Stirling , played by the ever profound and brilliant Gwilym Lee who is a dear friend of mine . I was extremely happy to hear when he told me he was going to play my big brother . He 's brilliant , more of a voice of reason in the Stirling family who tries to follow in their father 's footsteps , more than David did . What were the locations like for shooting the prison scenes ? The prison set has been actually quite hard . We 've shot in a couple of different places , one of which was an old World War Two barracks , this amazing fortress built into a cliff in Chatham . There was a great long walk to get there and thin passages we had to crawl through . It was really interesting to be fortunate enough to shoot in a place that was used in World War Two . But it was hard , with a lot of creeping around on my hands and knees . And yes there were a couple of rats I got the great privilege to work with in some scenes . They were very cute , very sweet and I enjoyed that a lot -- they enjoyed eating biscuits off my chest . What has it been like working with Stephen Woolfenden ? He 's such a brilliant collaborator who 's had some brilliant ideas . He 's really allowed me , with David in this unknown environment , to be extremely in control of the emotional arc during this period . Stephen 's also has some amazing input and I feel privileged I 've got to work with him , he has brilliant insight for the story and the time . How do you think series two differs from the first ? I think series two differs a lot in visual terms - it 's a different paintbrush used in a completely different way . It 's change for the better I think , as in the first series we saw these characters in a very extreme environment , and now we 've put them somewhere that 's very different but no less interesting and we see them work out how to flourish once again . There 's a stark difference between who they were as people - they 've all grown and they continue to do so whilst going through a deeply horrific , dark period of history . Steven Knight has said before that these might be the guys who got thrown out of pubs back in peacetime , but in war they 're the guys we need . We see this again with them in Italy , in a brilliant way . Sofia Boutella ( Eve Mansour ) ( Image : BBC/Banijay UK/Robert Viglasky ) How would you introduce series two ? Series two begins a couple of months on from series one . After liberating North Africa from the Nazis , the SAS make their way to Italy towards some important battles . How does it feel to step back into Eve 's boots ? We get to see a new side of Eve . I think if you see her character , how she 's a fighter and does n't let go , it makes sense that she 'd have this new side . In series two you get to explore Eve in action on the front line , but it was important to me that it was n't just her being a ' bad ass ' . It was n't about her looking or feeling like she knows exactly what she 's doing . Just because Eve was taught when she was young how to shoot and kill with a gun it does n't mean that once she 's in front of a human being it 's easy for her to apply . I do n't think Eve enjoys killing , period , and she says that to Bill Stirling . It really affects her , and I think there are layers of trauma building underneath . Eve is in a very different situation in series two . David is a prisoner of war and she meets his brother Bill - what is that like for her ? David being in prison changes the dynamic for Eve compared to series one , as it really raises the stakes of the liberation , getting through the war , and accomplishing her duty and mission . She 's very protective of David and so when she meets Bill and learns of the changes he is making to the SAS it rubs her the wrong way immediately . Eve has to deal with men in everything she does , and when she meets Bill she 's guarded because here is another man who does n't think she can do it . Series two delves deeper into the psychological impact of war . How does that impact Eve and the men of the SAS ? I understand how , now time has passed , we can make dramas about the second World War that are intertwined with some fun and humour , but I keep reminding myself that -- with some exceptions -- these characters are based on real people and we 're telling their stories . When I read the series two scripts I saw that we 're really going there and diving into the psychology this time . The darkness of having to be these men ; the lives they had , how young they were , and the sacrifice they all had to make . In series two you get to see the impact war has on humanity and individuals , you get to explore intimately what that does to one 's brain and heart . I personally get attached to every single character , all of the SAS , and I think the audience is getting attached to them too . What do you think the most exciting aspect of series two is ? As well as diving deeper into the psychology of each character and how the impact of the war is affecting them , there are spectacular action sequences to dive into and get a feel of what it was like to be in the field . How was it working with the new members of the cast ? Eve is very laser-focused so she only works with two or three people , but outside of work I had the chance to meet incredible people . I do n't know if for series one it was because we were in the middle of covid , all isolated but together , or the brilliant casting -- but on a human level I met absolutely ace people and that carried on for series two . Once again the new cast and crew were spot on , good people . Gwilym Lee ( Bill Stirling ) ( Image : BBC/Banijay UK/Ludovic Robert ) How would you describe Bill and how does he fit into series two ? I play Lieutenant Colonel Bill Stirling , David Stirling 's older brother . He is the head of their aristocratic Scottish family and so is used to being an authority figure in a position of responsibility . At the end of the first series we see David has been taken prisoner of war and now the regiment is left in limbo with Paddy Mayne in command , and Paddy is a loose cannon . The future of the regiment is in doubt because the upper echelons of the British Army despise and resent it in many ways . Bill comes on board to try and save the regiment . He tries to do his best to help Paddy Mayne with guidance and some firm words to ensure the future of the SAS - which does n't go down particularly well with Paddy . The journey of the series is about Bill trying to find the best way to manage Paddy , and to harness his potential . Bill is n't naive - he trained commando units for years before we are introduced to him in the series , so he is well accustomed to people like Paddy Mayne and recognises his brilliance as a warrior . The challenge is how to hone and control that temperament , which becomes a difficult learning curve for Bill across the series . How does Bill differ to his brother David ? Bill is described in the show as being the brother who did n't fall out of a tree and hit his head when he was younger . He is perhaps more serious and diplomatic than his colourful younger brother and is somewhat more of an enigma . His approach to leadership is totally different to David 's . First of all he 's not so much on the battlefield - he plays more of a strategic almost political role . Bill is the liaison between GCHQ and the regiment and he is constantly going back and forth to GCHQ , defending the SAS and discussing how they should be used . During this period the SAS are used as shock troops - special formations created to lead military attacks - much to Paddy 's disappointment . But what Paddy and the SAS do n't know is that behind the scenes Bill is grafting to change that and is dealing with some very powerful people in the shape of Generals Dempsey and Montgomery . He does all of this quietly and determinedly without fanfare as he was n't a man who was concerned with legacy or notoriety , he just believed in the SAS and its survival . What was it like to joining the cast and become part of the SAS Rogue Heroes family ? I 've loved being embraced by them , it 's a really special job . It can be tricky coming into a second series with a really established cast of actors and a great crew , as you worry about ruffling feathers or breaking into a clique , but there was none of that whatsoever . It was open arms from day one . It 's an incredible story we 're telling about some really brave and courageous people , and we all feel that weight of responsibility . There is a passion in everything we do in order to do justice to this story . What do you think viewers will enjoy most about series two ? It 's a different period of the war , therefore it immediately has a very different feel to it . We 're moving away from the desert and into mainland Europe and with that there are encounters with civilians and resistance groups . The SAS is being taken in a different direction in terms of having to act more as a conventional commando unit , but it still has this rogue-ish element to it with this wild bunch of warriors . You still have that anarchic energy which is ever present . You start to see the effects of war on individuals in this series . You really see the toll it takes on them mentally and physically . What were the standout moments of filming for you ? There was so many , it 's been such a joyful job . My first day on set was pretty standout because I was just buzzing to be a part of it , and it was a moment of action for Bill . It was Bill and 2SAS charging into battle for the first time as this new regiment to act as reinforcements . I was in the full battle gear speeding down a dirt track in a jeep with a gun by my side and shouting to charge through a check point . That was very exciting ! Me and Stuart Thompson , who plays Greville-Bell , were doing our best not to just scream like little giddy children because the adrenaline was pumping and we were far too excited . I loved grappling and getting to lock horns with Jack O'Connell as well . He is a class act and I 've always loved watching his work . He 's just up for it , he 's up for the scrap and that 's a really exciting place to be -- not knowing what 's happening next , being on your toes with another actor . Where did we leave Dudley at the end of the first series , and where do we meet him at the start of this one ? We left him in series one depressed , drunk and sweating in Cairo playing mind games with everybody . We find him now , I think , slightly more ebullient. , It 's moving towards the end of the war so things are starting to look better . He 's ' on the wagon ' , briefly , and he 's still playing mind games but he 's back in England and he 's more cheerful . How was it reuniting with fellow cast members ? And being joined by new characters ? It 's great because I did a play , Othello , with Gwilym Lee about ten years ago . We had a great time but I had n't seen him since except for watching him in Bohemian Rhapsody and in other parts . Theo Barklem-Biggs is an old friend from a play we did at the Donmar . So I know a few of the boys but it 's lovely to be back with all of them . I 've got great scenes with Jack O'Connell in series two . Jack has a rare intensity and authenticity , it 's hard to find actors that can embody this level of tough courage and Jack 's one of the few . It 's such a great job for me , this . I spend most of my time with Sofia Boutella in ballrooms drinking and dancing - what could be better ? ! Sofia has danced with Madonna and Michael Jackson , and now I 've danced with her ! We see a different side to many of the men in series two , is it the same for Dudley ? I think Steven Knight has written that aspect really beautifully , the PTSD . Now he 's introduced the characters to everyone , Steven has a bit more time to delve a little deeper and I think that 's really interesting for viewers . As for Dudley , because we got quite a lot of his dark side last time , maybe it 's time for the light . What can we look forward to in series two ? More of the excitement , sweat , toil and tears of war that we had in series one . But also I feel a certain pride in this regiment , which is the first and best special forces regiment in the world . In the acting game you get to do a lot of the American view of things and this is steadfastly a British point of view , which is really refreshing . Reg Seekings ( Theo Barklem-Biggs ) . ( Image : BBC/Banijay Rights ) How did you feel when you heard there would be a second series ? I was chuffed certainly , of course I was . I knew where we would be and I knew the impact that Reg Seekings had on Sicily and the impact it had on him . I was certainly excited and hoped that Steven Knight would tuck into that part of the story , so I 'm very grateful that he has . What does series two have in store ? The stakes are higher in general , there 's more action and more trauma . Certainly for Seekings there 's more struggle with the ' inner witness ' . There 's more inner turmoil and Seekings coming to terms with what he 's maybe becoming . How did it feel to step back into Seekings ' boots ? I was very excited to step back into Reg 's boots , but it came with a lot of weight . I had to dig deep into my own pockets , because as an actor you want to find your similarities . I 've never been to war , but there 's some stuff that one can find to draw from . It was weighty for me but a challenge that I loved and I 'm very grateful for . What were your stand-out moments making series two ? I remember specifically the first week in Croatia , as we started off with a load of explosions and a heavy amount of emotion for Seekings . That stood out as an entry , thinking ' right , we are back ' . Also my scenes with a new member of the cast , Mark Rowley , who plays Jock McDiarmid . Seekings has a constant back and forth with him which is quite fun ... maybe Reg has met his match . What do you think viewers will enjoy about series two ? If you enjoyed the first series -- the action , the fast-paced nature , the poetic language from Steven Knight and the rhythm to it -- I think series two has all that and more . There 's lots more action , trauma , and drama . ( Image : Banijay UK/Robert Viglasky ) What excited you about joining this project ? I was very excited to join series two for many reasons . I binge watched the first in two three hour sittings . It hit me off the screen , I loved the journey the characters went on and the cinematic scale of the desert . I loved the tone of the piece , it had swagger and thoughtfulness but it had great exposition and events -- and it was true . I think series one gave us a fantastic taste of the type of people these men were . The bravery , the skills they had and the revolution of the type of warfare they were creating . It all came alive on the screen . How have you found joining the project at the point of its second series ? I think the second series takes a great leap in terms of where the characters go . We have to go on a really delicate , intimate journey with the cast as they invade and journey through Sicily then mainland Italy - during which they have these amazing adventures both as a group and as individuals . Where series two differs is when our cast have to interact with the public they are liberating . It 's the first time they 're meeting the people they are freeing , fighting for and being thanked for that . They 're being hugged , kissed and celebrated , which can be difficult when they 've been through so much . PTSD plays a big part in the series . We go on some particular journeys where the group go through some horrifying experiences , and this really attracted me to Steven Knight 's writing . You want to work on a Steven Knight show because he goes deep into the history , he finds the most amazing details , magnifies them and frames our characters through those details . There is great chemistry between Bill Stirling and Paddy Mayne . How did you all achieve this ? The scenes between Bill and Paddy are great fun - they 're great spectacle , and they show two actors right at the top of their game . Paddy Mayne defecates in front of Bill Stirling within the first seven minutes of episode one - what could possibly go wrong ? ! With Gwilym and Jack we worked on their scenes a lot , and there 's a tremendous energy and ferocity to the way they say lines . There 's great threat , jousting and natural blocking . Please tell us about the locations for series two For series two we shot in Croatia , which was standing in for Italy , and we shot in Gavi -- the real Gavi prison in Italy - alongside various locations in the UK . We shot the landing craft sequence at the biggest outdoor water tank in the UK , Leavesden Studios , though as a viewer you wo n't for one moment think that 's where we are . All of our Croatian locations were up in the Istrian peninsula in the north-east of the country . This area used to be Italian 100 years ago so the architecture is very Italian-influenced . We were thrilled to be able to stage street battles with explosions and gunfire , vehicles and lots of extras in the town squares and streets of Istria . In fact , one of the town squares we shot in was Vizinada - the location for the final sequence in the film Kelly 's Heroes in 1969 . That sequence was a big face-off between US and German tanks . As soon as I found this history out , we had to film there and we took a German tank into the square for the first time since 1969 - and I met some old men who had been extras on that fantastic film . What a thrill . How did you feel about the return of Eve ? It was a joy to discover that Eve Mansour was back . I think everyone is very grateful that this wonderful character lives in our story again . She is passionate about France and , knowing that Paddy Mayne is somebody of great significance in the war , she 's hugely respectful of the SAS ' journey and what they 're doing . She knows if she stays close to the SAS she 'll find out more about what she needs to do to help France regain power . There 's also another agenda for Eve , because she knows that if she stays close to the SAS she can stay close to Bill Stirling and therefore David Stirling . Eve builds a relationship with the SAS in Italy and she gains their trust , and the trust of Paddy . She fights alongside them so the respect goes both ways . Please tell us about the action in series two , which as a director you have a lot of experience in ... From a director 's point of view the action is very , very important , but it 's only important because you 're putting your characters right amongst it . Everything that we tried to design was about putting the actors in a real landing craft , or in the street with German soldiers . What happens when those actors have to search those soldiers ? What happens when those actors have to find the solider , shoot at them and arrest them ? The action works in this series because you 're putting your actors in those situations and that 's the interesting part -- it 's what the actors want and what the director wants too . What I found in the edit is , unless these sequences are driven by those characters , those action sequences they do n't work . What have been the most challenging things to bring to the screen ? Series two was shot in 81 days in Croatia , Italy , England and Scotland . It was a phenomenal achievement - carefully and creatively managed by Stephen Smallwood the Producer and our great cast and crew . The big action scenes were certainly challenging -- such the landing craft , the landing on the beaches and scaling up a cliff . That 's all beautifully choreographed action and you have to buy into what your actors , stunt performers and supporting cast can achieve on a night . You only have a certain amount of takes before people get tired , people starting tripping and slipping . You have to be incredibly diligent about those sequences , to make sure you 're not doing too many takes and that every take has real value , and you have to get as much production value from it . The other complex element in SAS Rogue Heroes is the emotional scenes -- and for me this was an absolute revelation and a joy . The quality of the acting in series two is so wonderful . We go into such an interesting space with some of the characters . How did you prepare for filming the impact the war has on the men of the SAS ? Each of the characters suffer in their own particular way . Reg Seekings , for instance , is carrying an awful lot . He has closed himself off from the rest of the unit , and ca n't really express himself . Part of the preparation I did was to look at some of the research material . There 's amazing footage of the real Seekings talking about his experiences , and that was just heartbreaking ; to be able to refer to and learn from that , to talk to actor Theo Barklem-Biggs about it , and to try and weave a way of trying to understand that into the series . I think Theo does an amazing job in the role , of trying to remain human when we know he is forever changed by the horror of what he 's been though . Doing all of that research , seeing those men talk about the real events that you 're shooting , was important because this is something we wanted to get right . |

Soap supremo Sir Phil Redmond says that " courage has gone out of broadcasting " in recent years , and suggested that TV watchdog rules should be broken more often . TV writer Sir Phil , who created Hollyoaks , Grange Hill and Brookside , pushed for future schools-set soaps to be more gritty , and said social media is the " big issue " children are facing nowadays . Sir Phil told BBC Radio 's 4 Today programme : " I think the problem is , is that the courage has gone out of broadcasting really , and there 's just too much risk aversion . " There is a place for something like Grange Hill , and from my career , I always found that the harder you made the storyline , the more you upset the regulators , but the more the audience appreciated it , because the audience live these issues , and what they want to see is their own life put on screen as realistically as possible . " Sir Phil also said that to make a programme such as Grange Hill you have to have TV producers with real " life experience " , such as growing up in a working-class background . He added : " I think at the moment , we 've got too many programmes being made by people who just want to be in telly , people who sort of , they want to come into the media because they think it 's cool . " And when I was looking at trying to find writers for all the shows , my first question is , ' what do you want to write about ? ' . And they 'd say , ' I 'll write anything , you tell me what to write ' . ( I would reply ) ' I do n't want to tell you . I want you to tell me ' . " When asked by the guest editor , former chancellor Sajid Javid , what he would tackle today , Sir Phil said : " I think the big issue I think you 'd want to tackle is the impact of social media . " There 's no counterpoint to that , and that 's what Grange Hill used to offer . It did n't matter what the issue was ... Grange Hill would always offer some solution or some way to go and ask somebody about this issue , but at the end of it , it 's basically , you 're not on your own . " Chairman of Ofcom Lord Michael Grade appeared to agree with the viewpoint of Sir Phil that TV should challenge regulators more . Lord Grade said there was " absolutely no harm " in upsetting Ofcom , and praised Grange Hill for not being " preachy at all " . He also said : " This was an amazing , amazing show . It changed television in more ways than I think people realise . Prior to Grange Hill , life was ( like the world of children 's author ) Enid Blyton , gentle comedy , there was ( school comedy ) Please Sir ! on ITV , which was brilliant , but very gentle , it did n't really deal with the angst of growing up . " Coronation Street was fluffy and lovely and warm and cosy , and then along came Grange Hill , ( about ) the anxiety as you go through growing up , there it was in the raw . " The series , about life in a London comprehensive school , ran from 1978 to 2008 . It made headlines for its gritty social realism , tackling issues such as racism , drug abuse , teenage pregnancy , mental illness and HIV and Aids , and made stars of cast members including Lee MacDonald , who played Zammo McGuire , and Todd Carty , who played Tucker Jenkins . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'has gone out of' which is an intransitive verb phrase followed by a noun phrase ('broadcasting'), not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the sentence does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses the phrase 'gone out of' in a different context, referring to the absence of courage in broadcasting, without involving a causee or a VP[-ing] predicate that would indicate a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, 'pulled out of' is used intransitively with no NP object, and the phrase 'sponsoring the Hay Festival and nine other literary gatherings' does not function as a VP2[-ing] predicate with a causee. Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'injury ruling her out of competing' involves an NP object 'her' and a VP2[-ing] 'competing', but the subject 'injury' is not performing an action by means of deception, force, etc., and there is no clear movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it simply states that injury prevented her from competing, which does not align with the specific interpretations required by the transitive out of -ing construction.

An investigation was launched in August after a worker at Belfast Zoo was allegedly locked in an enclosure with lions . The person involved was understood to be over the age of 18 and was at the zoo " in a training capacity " . The individual was left unattended in the enclosure after a more experienced employee , who had been present , left the paddock . The gate was locked and the animals -- Belfast Zoo is home to a pride of Barbary lions -- were free to roam . Later that month , the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums ( BIAZA ) confirmed it was working with Belfast Zoo while Belfast City Council said it takes " the safety of all our staff , visitors and animals very seriously " and the circumstances were being investigated . Nineteen years , 953 games and 12 trophies after first walking through the gates at Seaview , Stephen Baxter said his farewells to the north Belfast Irish League club , leaving fans wondering how they would cope without him . Crusaders fans had been shocked in February when it was announced the world 's longest-serving boss would be leaving at the end of the 2024 football season . But they were provided with one final curtain call in July when they lost on penalties to Caernarfon Town in the Europa Conference League - Baxter stepping back into the dugout as his successor Declan Caddell did n't have the necessary qualifications to take charge in UEFA competitions . Proof that you ca n't keep a good man(ager) down for too long - and further proof was just around the corner as Baxter then took over as Carrick Rangers boss in October. ? Gladiator ... ready ? Yes , was the answer from west Belfast woman Tuathlaith , who had been ready since watching the original series as a child . She made her " childhood dream come true " when she appeared in the rebooted Gladiators in February . Sports enthusiast Tuathlaith -- who plays for football club the Belfast Ravens -- hung tough , played powerball , scaled the wall and tackled the super-tough ' Eliminator ' before narrowly missing out on a place in the programme 's quarter-final . She admitted that while she was " gutted " to be knocked out of the show , she would continue to tune in. ? " I was addicted to the original series growing up and was always told off when it came on TV because I used to sit so close to the screen , " she said . So close , it seems , that she ended up on it ! In May , it was announced that the Northern Ireland broadcaster was among a group of four senior female BBC journalists beginning legal proceedings against the broadcaster claiming a job application was ' rigged ' . Ms McVeigh , alongside Kasia Madera , Martine Croxall and Karin Giannone , familiar faces on the BBC 's news channel and news bulletins , launched an employment tribunal against the broadcaster , alleging they were snubbed over chief presenter roles following the merger of the BBC 's News and World News channels . The four , it was said , had been removed from their presenting roles ' as part of efforts to streamline the corporation 's news output ' . Ms McVeigh was back on presenting duties in May . A Queen 's University graduate , McVeigh grew up on a farm outside Armagh and went to school in Dungannon and had been a presenter on the BBC News Channel since 2006. In June , Lilian Seenoi-Barr made history when she became Northern Ireland 's first black mayor , and only the third on the island of Ireland . She was installed as mayor of Derry City and Strabane , having arrived in Londonderry 14 years ago as a refugee from Kenya . Ms Seenoi-Barr has been a councillor for the Foyleside ward since 2021 when she was co-opted by the SDLP . She said she was committed to working for the entire community and would be one ' who is accessible and one will lead with hope ' , going on to say it was time to build ' a more inclusive , prosperous and vibrant Derry City and Strabane District Council ' . The 24-year-old was crowned Miss NI at the end of May in a glitzy ceremony , but refused to let her newfound fame get in the way of the day job - and it was n't long before she was back at work . The renal nurse at Belfast City Hospital works with patients including those requiring kidney transplants . The daughter of former Irish rugby star Paddy Johns and sister of Linfield goalkeeper Chris Johns , she ran this year 's Belfast marathon to raise funds for NI Kidney Research and hopes to use her new platform to spread awareness about kidney health and renal conditions . Ms Johns said her family 's competitive nature meant she entered Miss NI determined to win. ? And did you know , she can also ' polish off a jar of pickles in one sitting ' ? Her dad , she said , always told her ' no pain no gain ' and she 's really taken that to heart . Until May , Kali 's best tricks were wolf whistling , saying ' whatcha doing ? ' or shouting ' Peekaboo ' . Then she embarked on her own game of hide-and-seek . The seven-month-old double yellow-headed amazon parrot caused quite a kerfuffle after escaping from Andy and Gail Tait 's home in Donaghcloney . The bird ' scooted ' past Andy 's arm when he attempted to give her some water in her cage , leading to a 48-hour outdoor adventure which concluded when she was lured in by her love of beef-flavoured McCoy crisps . She had earlier made a guest appearance on the roof of a local primary school on her tour of the village . At the time Mark Baxter , DUP councillor for the area , said Kali had found fame and that she ' has really captured the imagination of the entire village ' who had all been on the lookout for Andy 's feathered friend . The former Irish Paralympic athlete danced to glory in March , securing the top spot as RTE 's Dancing with the Stars 2024 champion . The Co Londonderry athlete , who is legally blind and dubbed ' the world 's fastest Paralympian ' for his record-breaking performances on the track , did n't let a series of low scores run him out of the competition and shimmied his way to the top of the podium once more . He was praised throughout the series and was fully supported by dance partner Karen Byrne , who wore a blindfold for the pair 's show dance . Smyth told viewers he hoped his appearance would ' change people 's perceptions about what is possible and impossible . ' He pipped fellow Northern Irish contestant , former Ru Paul 's Drag Race participant Blu Hydrangea , as well as Wild Youth 's David Whelan and radio presenter Laura Fox in the final , finishing the series lifting the Glitterball trophy. ? ? The Belfast-born KC was the renowned lawyer at the helm of the Northern Ireland module of the UK wide Covid inquiry , with her handling having been widely praised . A former pupil of St Louise 's Comprehensive College , she studied law at Clare College , Cambridge and has been based in London as a barrister since 1999 . Prior to becoming a KC , she served as Counsel to the Crown for 17 years . She was part of the Bloody Sunday Inquiry and acted as counsel to the inquiry into children 's homes in Lambeth , as part of her role as counsel to the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse . She 's also represented the United States in their case against Julian Assange. ? Under her forensic examination , First Minister Michelle O'Neill found herself offering an apology for breaching Covid regulations by attending the funeral of veteran republican Bobby Storey and exposed politicians left , right and centre for failure to plan , sectarianising , abuse of the cross-community vote process , ' special pleading ' and the bluff resorted to so often in our unique form of government that makes doing the right thing almost impossible . What better way to let off some steam after the heat of an election battle than serving yourself up a little Wimbledon treat . Just hours after she was unsuccessful in winning in Belfast East , Alliance leader Naomi Long was pictured at Wimbledon . She was spotted enjoying the action on court alongside husband Cllr Michael Long -- the pair were sipping on champagne and Pimms . It had been game , set and match to Gavin Robinson in the battle for the Westminster seat , winning with 19,894 votes with the justice minister securing 17,218 . On the face of it , she seemed quite content to return to her ministry at Stormont having thought long and hard about standing for Westminster before electing to put her name forward . It was n't the only treat Naomi enjoyed in 2024 , she had a holiday in the Caribbean in October , much to the annoyance of her political opponents . In August , a BBC investigation cleared the sports reporter of showing ' pro-republican ' bias after he had appeared on screen with his face painted in the colour of the Armagh and Galway GAA teams during a preview of the All-Ireland final . Concerns were raised by TUV deputy leader Ron McDowell , who stated the broadcaster would not have allowed a reporter to have their face painted orange when presenting the Twelfth coverage . The BBC received two official complaints about the broadcast , but the probe cleared Sidebottom of any wrongdoing saying it was " playfully intended in a report that was light-hearted in its content , tone and approach " . The bigger they come , the harder they fall . For almost 54 years politics in North Antrim had been dominated by one name -- until July this year when we witnessed the fall of the House of Paisley . TUV leader Jim Allister unseated Ian Paisley Jr in the general election by 450 votes . Allister had once been a personal assistant to Ian Paisley Snr and an election agent to former DUP leader Peter Robinson -- and on the night he declared his victory a ' political earthquake of seismic proportions ' . Mr Paisley had held the seat since 2010 , and this was a shocking end to a family dynasty . The Belfast comedian was at the centre of national headlines after it was reported that an audience member at one of Mr Currie 's London comedy shows was allegedly told to " get the f*** out " after the crowd was encouraged to chant " free Palestine " by the stand-up comic . Soho Theatre in London apologised after the incident at the comedy gig left Jewish audience members feeling " unsafe " and " threatened " after the comedian , five minutes from the end of his performance , unveiled both a Ukrainian and Palestinian flag in front of the 200-strong audience , encouraging everyone to get up and applaud . Later in the year in the run-up to Glastonbury , Mr Currie claimed he was no longer " allowed " to perform at the annual festival , claiming it was due to the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism ( CAA ) putting " pressure " on event organisers . However , according to a statement issued to the Daily Mail , the event organisers stated that he had never been booked to participate in the first place . Fermanagh schoolgirl Nina He landed a dream role her mum said ' was perfect for her ' when she became the star of a new CBeebies show which follows the adventures of a six-year-old ukulele-playing girl in a magical garden filled with musical animal friends . The programme also features the voices of popular musicians . " I have videos of her as a baby dancing , and we would always have music on in the house " " She wakes up with music , she falls asleep with music , she never misses a beat . " Nina 's mum But the nine-year-old from Newtownbutler voices main character Yukee in the animated series of the same name , Yukee , just like Nina , is of Northern Irish and Chinese heritage. ? The role is , indeed , perfect for her . The BBC reporter made headlines when Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers signed off an interview with her by saying ' good girl ' in February . The comment was made during a post-match interview following his team 's 3-1 win over Motherwell . Ms Lewis had addressed the incident saying she did n't believe any offence had been meant and , for her part , none was taken . Rodgers found it " saddening " to be accused of sexism . " Sadly , for me , in society now ... they 'll find something that is offensive to try and pin onto people , " he said , adding that he had spoken to the reporter and they 'd ' had a laugh ' about it . The usual social media scrum begged to differ , and the incident led to women 's groups branding it ' casual sexism ' and calling on the Camlough native to apologise . The Scottish Feminist Network and For Women Scotland added : " That the go-to attitude of a manager of a winning team was condescension is quite illuminating but really very depressing in 2024 . We thought dinosaurs were extinct . " In March , the 75-year-old actor bowed out of medical drama Casualty after 38 years . Derek , aka Charlie Fairhead , was the programme 's longest-serving cast member and part of the first 1986 episode . Having acted in almost 900 episodes , in his final outing as the fictional nurse , he was stabbed by a patient and left fighting for his life . Fans breathed a sigh of relief as he survived , driven from the hospital with the message ' just retired ' on the back of the car . Retired from Casualty , maybe , retired from action ? Not a bit of it . It was n't long before he swapped scrubs for cardigans and polo shirts , returning to Belfast -- where he was born -- to star as Robin Graham in the second series of Blue Lights . His character was quickly in the thick of the action in the show after Jen Robinson asked questions about a decades-old cold case . Emerging as one of the stars of the All-Ireland Championship , the Armagh midfielder on his knees at full-time in the All-Ireland final was one of the defining images as the county brought the Sam Maguire back over the border following a thrilling win over Galway at Croke Park . In November , he received the Gaelic Writers ' Association 's Football Personality of the Year award , a year after he endured an enormous family tragedy . His brother Patrick was killed in November 2023 on the way home from his own surprise 40th birthday party -- his wife Ciera also died , as did Ciara McElvanna , wife of Armagh 2002 All-Ireland winner , Kevin . Niall dedicated his team 's All-Ireland win to Patrick . Taking dressing to impress to a whole new level , the tuxedo-clad toddler was in the limelight during Queen Camilla 's visit to a Belfast bakery . The dapper son of bakery owners William Corrie and former Blue Peter presenter and Miss Northern Ireland Zoe Salmon was certainly dressed for the occasion at Knotts Bakery , and drew the cameras ' attention away from a delighted royal . Fitzwilliam , known as Fitz , was described by his mum as ' naturally very chatty and very sociable ' and said she could n't sleep after seeing all the coverage . While Fitz posed for the cameras , coming right up to the lens , Queen Camilla called him ' a natural . ' ? ? From showing herself to be a dab hand at deception then a deft hand in masterly dealing with the culinary arts , Bangor born Diane Carson was one of 2024 's stars of reality television . The breakout star of the BBC 's second series of The Traitors was ' killed off ' in the reality show after drinking a goblet of fizzy rose , with fans finding her departure shocking -- she even received a ' funeral ' in her honour -- just as much as her revelation that another participant , Ross , was her son . Earlier this year , she was announced as a contestant on Celebrity MasterChef and partnered with laundry brand Ecover for its Let 's Come Clean campaign . She told the Belfast Telegraph that despite her success in England , she tries to come back to her hometown as much as possible. ? It was n't an easy route to Westminster for new North Down MP Alex Easton . Still getting over the death of his parents in a tragic house fire , he then got involved in a war of words with the TUV after the party said he went back on a promise by nominating the DUP 's Peter Martin to take his vacated Stormont seat . But in the midst of the campaign he also had to deal with the fallout after social media posts by his campaign manager , Austen Lennon , were called into question . Some were called out as ' racist ' , some were writing off manmade global warming as a ' fraud ' and another suggesting a race motive for the actions of a gang of thieves . Mr Easton confirmed Lennon had stood down from the role in June , but less than a week later it was revealed he was staying on , though would not participate in canvassing or other campaign activities . It did n't harm Mr Easton 's campaign though as he unseated Alliance MP Stephen Farry to win the seat . For a short time SDLP MLA Justin McNulty looked like he was for the ' chop ' rather than the ' chopper ' after making a James Bond-like getaway from Stormont to be in time to fulfil his other passion in life ; coaching gaelic football . He found himself suspended from the party after leaving parliament buildings early ' without permission ' . Mr McNulty was in attendance at the first sitting of the NI Assembly in February but the Laois manager left before proceedings closed to fly to Co Wexford where his team was playing a National Football League match at 6pm . It later emerged the MLA for Newry and Armagh travelled at least part of the more than 200-mile journey to the match by helicopter , boarded at Newtownards aerodrome . His early departure meant he missed colleague Matthew O'Toole being nominated as leader of the opposition . The whip was restored six months later , suspension served , as normal play resumed in August . Anto Brennan 's sculptures of the late Queen and Prince Philip at Antrim Castle Gardens .

Ahead of the election , her party leader Mary Lou McDonald leapt to her defence , declaring her to be " a good woman " . On election night Ms Cullen 's closest election challenger Diane Forsythe , though 4,500 votes adrift , said : " Whilst I wish Pat well and congratulate her and wish her well in the weeks and months ahead I would appeal to her to at least try to recognise the pains that have been revisited in recent weeks . " Ms Cullen acknowledged the tensions during the campaign , strongly emphasising to those people that did n't vote for her : " I will work night and day for every single person in Fermanagh South Tyrone " . Although the west Belfast actor first came to the attention of local television viewers when they starred in Bloodlands along with Jimmy Nesbitt , their star is now well on the rise in global terms after playing young IRA woman Dolours Price in Say Nothing . The rave reviews for their performance have been flooding in for their portrayal of the young Price as she was involved in the disappearance of Belfast woman Jean McConville and went on hunger strike in prison in Britain . In 2025 , viewers will also see Lola in the TV adaptation of Trespasses , the 2022 novel by Louise Kennedy set in the Northern Ireland of 1975 . Filmed in Ballymena , Lola will portray a Catholic schoolteacher who meets an older Protestant married man and finds herself caught up in a mysterious romance . Art critics can be a cruel breed , as north Belfast artist Anto Brennan found out in September when his sculptures of the late Queen and Prince Philip were unveiled at Antrim Castle Gardens . The armchair social media brigade had a field day . Anto is well known for his satirical ' piece process ' chess board , which featured key players from the Good Friday Agreement era and even included a caricature of the late monarch. ? He declined to comment on the reaction to his latest work , but the comments came thick and fast online with the statue of the late Queen compared to a fisherwoman , Mrs Doubtfire and Little Bo-Peep . Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council said it was " delighted with the generally positive response " . In a statement , it added it acknowledged " that art can sometimes spark diverse opinions , but it 's important to emphasise that the sculpture has been warmly received by most who have seen it in person " . And of course , everyone now knows it 's there . Portaferry athlete Ciara Mageean might not have enjoyed the Paris Olympic Games she 'd hoped for - injury ruling her out of competing , but elsewhere on the track the middle distance runner has had a stellar year and ended 2024 with an Honorary Masters from Ulster University for services to sport . Sadly for Mageean she was forced to pull out of the 1500m on the eve of her heat in the Olympics in August with " painful chronic Achilles issues " , all the harder to take after going into the Games on the back of winning the 1500m at the European Championships in Rome in June . " You have to roll with the punches and I 've had beautiful moments . The European Championships was one of them , " she said , having narrowly missed a place in the Olympic final four years earlier . " I 'm very determined that that wo n't be my last memory of an Olympic Games so it 's given me more fire in my belly for another four-year cycle . " Things could n't really have gone much better for Larne striker Andy Ryan in 2024 . The Scottish hitman not only fired 30 goals as the Invermen defended both their Irish Premiership and Co Antrim Shield titles , he became a history-maker -- the hard way . Trailing 2-1 to Gibraltar 's Lincoln Red Imps from the first leg of their Europa Conference League qualifier , they conceded again at Inver Park and the dream looked over . No one told Ryan , who went to work scoring twice from the penalty spot before the interval and sent the fans into orbit with a late winner . It meant Larne became the first team from Northern Ireland to qualify for the league stages of a European competition , added millions to the club 's bank balance and ensured legendary status for the striker . It was a good year for ' two birds ' . The former health minister ended his long-running defamation battle with Sir Van Morrison in September with a confidential resolution over their competing ? lawsuits over the handling of Covid restrictions . The politician , now MP for South Antrim , sued for slander after ? Sir Van ? declared that he was " very dangerous " in front of an audience at Belfast 's Europa Hotel in June 2021 . In a separate action , Sir Van sued Mr Swann and the Department of Health over an earlier opinion piece published in Rolling Stone magazine , which ? claimed some of the singer-songwriter 's anti-lockdown messages at the time were ' dangerous ' . Then in November Mr Swann admitted at the Covid inquiry that he did not provide a " sufficient " level of direction in upscaling critical care capacity early in the pandemic . In the middle of all the legalities , Mr Swann flew high to win the South Antrim seat and set up a new nest at Westminster . Kieran McKenna , Ipswich manager . It 's been a year of success for the Ipswich Town manager -- in the 2023-24 season , the club was the first since Southampton in 2012 to secure back-to-back promotions from League One to the Premier League . Signing a new contract which will keep him at Ipswich until 2028 , the team claimed a shock 2-1 victory in November at Spurs , ending their wait for a first Premier League win of the season and securing their first top flight win since April 2002 . Earlier this year , the manager said he 'd no doubts about swapping a role as first-team coach at Manchester United for Ipswich . Justice Minister Naomi Long High Court judge Mr Justice Humphreys made history in May when he overturned the law in Northern Ireland that prohibited the naming of alleged sexual offenders before they had been charged or until 25 years after their death . Until then journalists could have been sent to jail for calling Jimmy Savile a paedophile . Mr Justice Humphreys said it was beyond Stormont 's legislative competence to introduce the controversial act which had the " chilling effect " of imposing a criminal sanction on public interest journalism . The challenge was led by the Belfast Telegraph and backed by the Irish News . For a while it looked like Justice Minister Naomi Long would dig her heels in and mount an appeal , but a swathe of opposition to that move from fellow politicians across all parties meant the ruling went unchallenged , and victims who wished to tell their story were permitted , by law , to do so . Gymnast Rhys McClenaghan Some people want rid of all flags and emblems , some people ca n't get enough of them . But if you 're in the middle ground , in a position of decision making power , perhaps the best course of action is to stay well away from any debate as you 're damned if you fly it , you 're damned if you do n't . The chief executive of Commonwealth Games Northern Ireland ( CGNI ) had to inform police over concerns for his safety amid suggestions the flag representing Northern Ireland at the games be changed . Conal Heatley said some of his personal details had appeared on social media andthe organisation 's office received " threatening messages " online after suggestions the Ulster Banner should no longer be used to represent NI athletes . There are images in the mind of Col Tim , sleeves rolled up , arm out of the window , rollin ' rollin ' rollin ' along Bangor prom to a booming Limp Bizkit rock-rap track . On the surface , former SAS officer , hero of the Gulf War , Colonel Tim Collins looked the perfect fit to contest the North Down seat in July 's general election for the Ulster Unionist Party . Rather than a penalty kick to an empty net , it turned out to be quite the own goal as the move backfired , Collins crashed and burned in his Rolls-Royce and a political career was over before the engine got started . He probably had a point when he said he could insure his Rolls-Royce Wraith in England for what it costs to insure a Ford Fiesta in Northern Ireland . He was also critical of the ferry companies which connect Northern Ireland to Great Britain , which he described as ' the most expensive ferries anywhere in Europe ' . Casement Park They dared to dream , but on Friday , September 13 they woke up to a nightmare . Getting away with one announcement no one wants to hear is possible , getting away with two dropped at the same time did n't work . First the Labour government announced it would be pausing city deals totalling around ? 1bn for Belfast , Derry City & Strabane and the Causeway Coast & Glens -- as well as the Mid South West . Then it said there would be no money coming for Casement Park , the final nail in the coffin for hopes the Euro 2028 tournament would find a home in Belfast . Just a day later ? it was confirmed Derry & Strabane would be getting ? 290m -- although doubt remains for the Causeway and Mid South West deals . There was no rowing back on the ? 300m plus needed to Casement Park . The only good thing about a black Friday was that the bad news did n't , as it tends to do , come in threes ... A PSNI car on top of the pyre in Moygashel The lavish and unsavoury ' decorations ' on bonfires stepped up a gear and there was condemnation after a 1.3 tonne silver Vauxhall Vectra decorated to look like a police vehicle was placed on top of the pyre in Moygashel . The bonfire , sitting around 150 pallets high , has been widely condemned for its history of using controversial ' toppers ' for its pyres in recent years . In 2023 , an Irish tricolour and a poster of Leo Varadkar were placed on top of the bonfire , as well as a boat and a banner reading : " Good Friday Agreement ? That ship has sailed . " ? Loyalist activist Jamie Bryson thought differently : " I think this is a bit of edgy artistic expression , a bit like , for example , Kneecap , " he said . Anything you can do , we can do worse ... Billy Dixon Could there have been a better way to mark International Women 's Day than by inviting a man to speak at an event aimed at celebrating the achievements of women ? Well , yes . There could . Spare a thought for poor Billy Dixon , caught in the eye of the storm after accepting an invite from Newry and Mourne District Council back in March . The image consultant was forced to withdraw from the keynote speaker invitation to help " commemorate the cultural , political and socio-economic achievements of women " after some campaigners felt a woman should have been selected instead . Justice Minister Naomi Long called the decision ' mortifying ' and that , said Mr Dixon , disappointed him the most . " Women were on my side and I 've always been on their side . I 've always been an ally , not an enemy , " Mr Dixon said after a social media pile on forced his withdrawal . " If Naomi Long had bothered to contact me I 'd have told her my talk would be about inclusion , specifically about those on the fringes of society who are being exploited every day in Northern Ireland . " The event went ahead minus Mr Dixon , who the council should perhaps have called on again to dust down their own tarnished image . Liverpool footballer Conor Bradley This time last year not too many outside of the junior coaching ranks at Dungannon Swifts were aware of Conor Bradley . One year on and not only is he making great strides as Liverpool lead the Premier League title race , he 's also the shining light guiding a new breed of Northern Ireland kids on the international scene and mixing it with the best in the sport - just ask French superstar Kylian Mbapp ? if he wants to face him again after being unceremoniously upended as Liverpool beat his Real Madrid in the Champions League with a tackle that sent the internet into meltdown . While an injury has ruled him out for the final few weeks of the year , it 's still one Conor can look back on with immense pride . The only sadness is that Conor 's father Joe ( 58 ) was n't around to see his son 's continued rise to stardom , having passed away in March , just days after Bradley put in a man-of-the-match performance during a 4-1 win over Chelsea at Anfield when he became the first Northern Irish-born player to score a top flight goal for Liverpool in 70 years . From a timid , shy schoolboy at Glengormley High School to sparring in the jungle with Barry McGuigan , it 's been a breakthrough - if trialling - year for BBC Radio One DJ Dean McCullough . The Northern Irish presenter divided fans of I 'm A Celebrity after his mixed performance in the famous Bushtucker trials . During his stint in the jungle Dean completed seven trials , two of which ended early after he opted out of completing them by playing the ' Get me Out Of Here ' card . As the season progressed , however , Dean redeemed himself by winning 10 out of 12 stars in his last solo trial . But despite all the focus on Dean in the early stages of the series , he was the second celeb to be voted out of the camp . Dean left in true Norn Iron style though , saying he was relieved to return to home comforts and looking forward to a " bacon sandwich " . Wee Barry stayed the pace a little longer , finishing eighth . Hands up if you knew it was called The Boyne Bridge before they started to take it away ? In December work began on the demolition of the Sandy Row bridge with large parts of the structure having been removed -- despite a series of protests against the removal of the historical structure to make way for the continuing development of Grand Central Station . In October the Ulster Architectural Heritage Society ( UAHS ) went to the High Court in a last-minute bid to halt the removal . However , a judge ruled that the closure of Durham Street could go ahead as planned and the row over the bridge became just another lightning rod for arguments over Belfast 's transport infrastructure.King William of Orange is said to have crossed the old bridge in June 1690 on his way to the Boyne , while King James II is also thought to have retreated along the same path . The modern Boyne Bridge was constructed in the 1930s around the remains of the previous crossings . Belfast City Council , by way of appeasement , voted to call the new road Boyne Bridge Place , minus the bridge of course . There was a mole and he 's still in his hole ... As far as top secret meetings go , it was a top failure . With the DUP meeting to decide whether to return to Stormont in January , the doors may have seemed shut for the five hour session but leaking out through the cracks was every word thanks to a live stream of the ' top secret ' speech of then leader Jeffrey Donaldson . The chaotic , contentious meeting widely available ' as it happened ' . The mole , a ' senior DUP executive ' remains underground , having worn a wire to transmit the speech to loyalist activist Jamie Bryson outside the venue , who proceeded to let the watching world know what was said , word by word . And in the end , at a 1am press conference , the DUP decision was delivered to return to Stormont. Out with the old , in with the new and , in one case , in with the old again . There were new faces in OFMDFM as Sinn Fein vice president Michelle O'Neill became Stormont 's first nationalist First Minister , while the DUP 's Emma Little-Pengelly was named deputy First Minister . Three political parties swapped leadership , though not all through choice . Gavin Robinson was crowned as new DUP leader following the shock downfall of Jeffrey Donaldson as the party continued to dispense with leaders as quickly as celebrities get out of the jungle . The SDLP also shifted forces from Colum Eastwood , who stepped down after holding on to his Foyle seat in the general election - and there was a straight run to the top for popular South Belfast MP Claire Hanna who took over the leadership unopposed . Despite the Westminster election success of Robin Swann in South Antrim , Doug Beattie also found his race was run as leader over in the Ulster Unionist Party . With all the ' big names ' in the UUP already having ' had a go ' in the top job , Mike Nesbitt stepped into the breach for a second spell as leader . It was a year of ' nearlies ' for the star golfer . He nearly won the US Open , nearly won the Irish Open and nearly got divorced . His wait for a fifth major goes on , but at least his marriage has been saved after hitting headlines across the globe . In May he announced he was to divorce Erica Stoll , his wife of seven years and the mother of their three-year-old daughter Poppy . Then , ? right before the ? US Open , he shocked fans again when he released a statement that the divorce had been called off . The former world number one was also in the running for a fourth PGA Tour Player of the Year award having been nominated for the gong for the third consecutive season . It was also revealed in November that pre-tax profits at the golf royalty earnings firm owned by the Co Down sportsman last year declined by 36.5% to $9.24m after a hike in directors ' pay - but there 's always a silver lining , he ended the year as Europe 's best once more through victory in the season finale in DP World Tour Championship as he was crowned Race to Dubai champion for the sixth time in his career . Not all bad then . It was hailed by the community of south Armagh as doing more to improve community relations in " 30 seconds than in the previous 30 years " but the actions of a police officer in celebrating Armagh 's All-Ireland GAA win prompted a PSNI probe . Video footage appeared on social media showing a police car in Camlough using lights and sirens and flying an Armagh GAA flag following the Orchard County 's win over Galway in July . The footage showed an officer in a police vehicle pick up a flag from fans and waving it from the window while lapping a roundabout in the village . The police vehicle then performed a U-turn at a junction . The Police Federation subsequently told the BBC that the matter was " still at the investigative stage " , while no recommendations had been made for the Public Prosecution Service ( PPS ) , prompting the chief constable to publicly address the speculation , telling media : " Nothing has changed . They will be dealt with for the driving and the misconduct , and that 's it . " Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes It was a celebrity split that many could n't have predicted . In May , Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes -- a couple who appeared in multiple presenting roles together for decades -- announced they would be divorcing after 14 years of marriage , and a relationship that had lasted almost 30 years . Fans and the media expressed shock following the announcement but it had been reported the pair split over a year ago with Holmes wanting the news to be kept under wraps while they worked on their relationship . The joint statement at the time was said to have been arranged by Langsford , with Holmes ' refusing ' to get involved . " Ruth can do what she wants but keep me out of it , " the presenter is said to have told his friends . He thanked viewers for their support on GB News three days after the separation announcement . This month saw the west Belfast hip hop phenomenon Kneecap end a remarkable year when they became part of mainstream pop culture with a home city show at the SSE Arena . The Irish language rappers went global since the release of their wildly acclaimed semi-autobiographical movie , Kneecap earlier this year . The film , which was released in August , is based on the group 's early beginnings and stars Liam ? g ? Hannaidh , Naoise ? Caireall ? in and JJ ? Dochartaigh as themselves . In November , the group won its discrimination case over a decision by former Conservative minister Kemi Badenoch to refuse them funding for an arts grant . Under the terms of the settlement , it was agreed that the original decision had been " unlawful and procedurally unfair " . The band turned up at court with their famous police Land Rover . The group later donated the proceeds from the case between two community groups - one on the Shankill Road and one in west Belfast . Protests in the city centre soon turned aggressive and unable to reach a mosque in south Belfast a rump of the protesters turned to migrant owned businesses , attacking premises and causing thousands of pounds worth of damage . In November former Sinn Fein press officer Michael McMonagle was sentenced to nine months in custody and a further nine months on licence for a number of child sex offences . McMonagle had pleaded guilty weeks earlier and this precipitated weeks of chaos for Sinn Fein after it emerged two party colleagues , including the party 's top spin doctor at Stormont , wrote McMonagle references and he ended up taking a job at the British Heart Foundation . When the Sunday World found out about the references , Sinn F ? in pushed the letter writers , Se ? n Mag Uidhir and Caol ? n McGinley , to resign . Michelle O'Neill eventually had to apologise to the British Heart Foundation , who had been accused by some in Sinn Fein of not doing their due diligence before hiring McMonagle . It was mortifying for her as she claimed to know nothing of his new job , despite being pictured at a BHF photocall standing in front of McMonagle . There was no relief for SF down south , where prominent TD Brian Stanley left the party accusing Sinn F ? in chiefs of scheming to ruin his good name in a " kangaroo court " . Mary Lou McDonald had to apologise over the departure of former Belfast Lord Mayor Niall ? Donnghaile from the Seanad . It was wrongly claimed he had left for health reasons when in fact it followed a complaint that he pestered a teenage boy with texts . It was advertised as a ' Valentine 's Weekend Special ' in a post by event organiser The Devenish . Calling it ' a night filled with exciting thrills , perfect for a girls night out ' , performance group UK Pleasure Boys said it had ' definitely left their mark ' after X-rated footage of events circulated online -- and went viral . One of the prominent dancers ' Big Nate ' later told Sunday Life : " We 've not done anything wrong . We 're just hard-working lads putting on a show that 's a bit of fun , and we 've been getting stick for it . I think it 's just unique for this part of the country . " TV series Say Nothing has brought some badly-needed urgency to searches for the last of the Disappeared , the 17 killed and secretly buried by the IRA during the Troubles . Based on the non-fiction book by American journalist Patrick Radden Keefe , the nine-parter details the lives of IRA bombers Marian and Dolours Price and a major storyline is the abduction and murder of Jean McConville in 1972 , the first of the Disappeared . Earlier this month , the Belfast Telegraph reported how a republican came forward with new information he thinks will lead to the recovery of Columba McVeigh 's remains , one of the four remaining Disappeared . He volunteered the information after appeals made in the wake of Say Nothing . And last month remains believed to be those of former monk turned IRA man Joe Lynskey were recovered from a County Monaghan graveyard , though these have not been linked to the Disney+ series . The old adage ' smooth sailing ' could n't be applied to the Odyssey -- a 542ft-long cruise ship consisting of eight decks , 485 cabins and accommodating up to 650 residents -- which ended up spending an extended three-month stay in Belfast to a myriad of problems . Such was its series of set-backs , it attracted world-wide media attention giving rise to speculation that it was ' cursed ' -- a prospect only heightened by the fact that it was beginning its global journey in the same port that had built the Titanic . Many of Odyssey 's residents had sold their homes and cars to live aboard the ship as part of a world journey , visiting 147 countries and 425 destinations , all in just over three years . . Some residents took advantage of their extended break in the city , with two passengers -- Gian Perroni and Angela Harsanyi getting engaged after meeting as strangers on board , while two others -- Kat Cassingham and Dr Richard Namikas embarked on a 70-mile walking trek from Belfast to Derry to pass the time . Paris 2024 will go down as Northern Ireland 's best ever Olympics aslocal athletes picked upfour gold , one silver and two bronze medals . two bronzes , Swimmers Daniel Wiffen and Jack McMillan , rowers Rebecca Shorten , Hannah Scott and Philip Doyle and gymnast Rhys McClenaghan all had to make space in their luggage for some precious cargo . No athlete from Northern Ireland had won a gold medal since 1988 and no individual had claimed an Olympic title since Mary Peters in 1972 . Wiffen took top spot in the 800m freestyle final and bronze in the 1500m , sparking a fresh identity debate as people tried to work out whether Magheralin was in Armagh or Down . Representing Team Ireland , McClenaghan posted 15.533 to edge out Kazakhstan 's Nariman Kurbanov ( 15.433 ) on the pommel horse while Belfast 's McMillan was part of GB 's victorious 4 x 200m freestyle relay squad , in a time of 6:59:43 ahead of USA and Australia . Scott said there were ' no words ' after winning gold in the women 's quad sculls with Team GB , beating the Netherlands by just fifteen-hundredths of a second was the difference . When PSNI officers raided the home of Sir Jeffrey Donaldson on 28 March , he was at the peak of his political powers . The previous evening he 'd been at an ecumenical Easter concert in Parliament Buildings , where he was being congratulated for having masterminded the restoration of devolved government . He 'd faced down his critics , both internal and external , and -- it seemed -- won . That he 'd done so by misleading the public about the continued existence of an Irish Sea border he said the DUP would never accept was n't worrying too many of those who 'd desperately wanted to see devolution restored . For Donaldson , a man who from his youth had been immersed in unionist politics , this was the pinnacle . Within hours , the work of a lifetime was undone . No story this year combines the drama , the political significance , the legal seriousness and the public impact of Donaldson 's arrest , which within hours was followed by charges for multiple child sex offences . His wife , Lady Donaldson , was charged with assisting in some of the alleged crimes . Belfast Telegraph journalism is a lot more than reporting the news . It 's getting to the heart of the story , and it takes time , effort , and passion . This is what we have been doing in Northern Ireland for over 150 years , and this is what makes real stories worth paying for . To subscribe , go to **32;210;TOOLONG |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'opted out of completing them', where 'opted out of' is a phrasal verb followed by a gerund, but there is no NP object between the verb and 'out of'. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

An investigation was launched in August after a worker at Belfast Zoo was allegedly locked in an enclosure with lions . The person involved was understood to be over the age of 18 and was at the zoo " in a training capacity " . The individual was left unattended in the enclosure after a more experienced employee , who had been present , left the paddock . The gate was locked and the animals -- Belfast Zoo is home to a pride of Barbary lions -- were free to roam . Later that month , the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums ( BIAZA ) confirmed it was working with Belfast Zoo while Belfast City Council said it takes " the safety of all our staff , visitors and animals very seriously " and the circumstances were being investigated . Nineteen years , 953 games and 12 trophies after first walking through the gates at Seaview , Stephen Baxter said his farewells to the north Belfast Irish League club , leaving fans wondering how they would cope without him . Crusaders fans had been shocked in February when it was announced the world 's longest-serving boss would be leaving at the end of the 2024 football season . But they were provided with one final curtain call in July when they lost on penalties to Caernarfon Town in the Europa Conference League - Baxter stepping back into the dugout as his successor Declan Caddell did n't have the necessary qualifications to take charge in UEFA competitions . Proof that you ca n't keep a good man(ager) down for too long - and further proof was just around the corner as Baxter then took over as Carrick Rangers boss in October. ? Gladiator ... ready ? Yes , was the answer from west Belfast woman Tuathlaith , who had been ready since watching the original series as a child . She made her " childhood dream come true " when she appeared in the rebooted Gladiators in February . Sports enthusiast Tuathlaith -- who plays for football club the Belfast Ravens -- hung tough , played powerball , scaled the wall and tackled the super-tough ' Eliminator ' before narrowly missing out on a place in the programme 's quarter-final . She admitted that while she was " gutted " to be knocked out of the show , she would continue to tune in. ? " I was addicted to the original series growing up and was always told off when it came on TV because I used to sit so close to the screen , " she said . So close , it seems , that she ended up on it ! In May , it was announced that the Northern Ireland broadcaster was among a group of four senior female BBC journalists beginning legal proceedings against the broadcaster claiming a job application was ' rigged ' . Ms McVeigh , alongside Kasia Madera , Martine Croxall and Karin Giannone , familiar faces on the BBC 's news channel and news bulletins , launched an employment tribunal against the broadcaster , alleging they were snubbed over chief presenter roles following the merger of the BBC 's News and World News channels . The four , it was said , had been removed from their presenting roles ' as part of efforts to streamline the corporation 's news output ' . Ms McVeigh was back on presenting duties in May . A Queen 's University graduate , McVeigh grew up on a farm outside Armagh and went to school in Dungannon and had been a presenter on the BBC News Channel since 2006. In June , Lilian Seenoi-Barr made history when she became Northern Ireland 's first black mayor , and only the third on the island of Ireland . She was installed as mayor of Derry City and Strabane , having arrived in Londonderry 14 years ago as a refugee from Kenya . Ms Seenoi-Barr has been a councillor for the Foyleside ward since 2021 when she was co-opted by the SDLP . She said she was committed to working for the entire community and would be one ' who is accessible and one will lead with hope ' , going on to say it was time to build ' a more inclusive , prosperous and vibrant Derry City and Strabane District Council ' . The 24-year-old was crowned Miss NI at the end of May in a glitzy ceremony , but refused to let her newfound fame get in the way of the day job - and it was n't long before she was back at work . The renal nurse at Belfast City Hospital works with patients including those requiring kidney transplants . The daughter of former Irish rugby star Paddy Johns and sister of Linfield goalkeeper Chris Johns , she ran this year 's Belfast marathon to raise funds for NI Kidney Research and hopes to use her new platform to spread awareness about kidney health and renal conditions . Ms Johns said her family 's competitive nature meant she entered Miss NI determined to win. ? And did you know , she can also ' polish off a jar of pickles in one sitting ' ? Her dad , she said , always told her ' no pain no gain ' and she 's really taken that to heart . Until May , Kali 's best tricks were wolf whistling , saying ' whatcha doing ? ' or shouting ' Peekaboo ' . Then she embarked on her own game of hide-and-seek . The seven-month-old double yellow-headed amazon parrot caused quite a kerfuffle after escaping from Andy and Gail Tait 's home in Donaghcloney . The bird ' scooted ' past Andy 's arm when he attempted to give her some water in her cage , leading to a 48-hour outdoor adventure which concluded when she was lured in by her love of beef-flavoured McCoy crisps . She had earlier made a guest appearance on the roof of a local primary school on her tour of the village . At the time Mark Baxter , DUP councillor for the area , said Kali had found fame and that she ' has really captured the imagination of the entire village ' who had all been on the lookout for Andy 's feathered friend . The former Irish Paralympic athlete danced to glory in March , securing the top spot as RTE 's Dancing with the Stars 2024 champion . The Co Londonderry athlete , who is legally blind and dubbed ' the world 's fastest Paralympian ' for his record-breaking performances on the track , did n't let a series of low scores run him out of the competition and shimmied his way to the top of the podium once more . He was praised throughout the series and was fully supported by dance partner Karen Byrne , who wore a blindfold for the pair 's show dance . Smyth told viewers he hoped his appearance would ' change people 's perceptions about what is possible and impossible . ' He pipped fellow Northern Irish contestant , former Ru Paul 's Drag Race participant Blu Hydrangea , as well as Wild Youth 's David Whelan and radio presenter Laura Fox in the final , finishing the series lifting the Glitterball trophy. ? ? The Belfast-born KC was the renowned lawyer at the helm of the Northern Ireland module of the UK wide Covid inquiry , with her handling having been widely praised . A former pupil of St Louise 's Comprehensive College , she studied law at Clare College , Cambridge and has been based in London as a barrister since 1999 . Prior to becoming a KC , she served as Counsel to the Crown for 17 years . She was part of the Bloody Sunday Inquiry and acted as counsel to the inquiry into children 's homes in Lambeth , as part of her role as counsel to the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse . She 's also represented the United States in their case against Julian Assange. ? Under her forensic examination , First Minister Michelle O'Neill found herself offering an apology for breaching Covid regulations by attending the funeral of veteran republican Bobby Storey and exposed politicians left , right and centre for failure to plan , sectarianising , abuse of the cross-community vote process , ' special pleading ' and the bluff resorted to so often in our unique form of government that makes doing the right thing almost impossible . What better way to let off some steam after the heat of an election battle than serving yourself up a little Wimbledon treat . Just hours after she was unsuccessful in winning in Belfast East , Alliance leader Naomi Long was pictured at Wimbledon . She was spotted enjoying the action on court alongside husband Cllr Michael Long -- the pair were sipping on champagne and Pimms . It had been game , set and match to Gavin Robinson in the battle for the Westminster seat , winning with 19,894 votes with the justice minister securing 17,218 . On the face of it , she seemed quite content to return to her ministry at Stormont having thought long and hard about standing for Westminster before electing to put her name forward . It was n't the only treat Naomi enjoyed in 2024 , she had a holiday in the Caribbean in October , much to the annoyance of her political opponents . In August , a BBC investigation cleared the sports reporter of showing ' pro-republican ' bias after he had appeared on screen with his face painted in the colour of the Armagh and Galway GAA teams during a preview of the All-Ireland final . Concerns were raised by TUV deputy leader Ron McDowell , who stated the broadcaster would not have allowed a reporter to have their face painted orange when presenting the Twelfth coverage . The BBC received two official complaints about the broadcast , but the probe cleared Sidebottom of any wrongdoing saying it was " playfully intended in a report that was light-hearted in its content , tone and approach " . The bigger they come , the harder they fall . For almost 54 years politics in North Antrim had been dominated by one name -- until July this year when we witnessed the fall of the House of Paisley . TUV leader Jim Allister unseated Ian Paisley Jr in the general election by 450 votes . Allister had once been a personal assistant to Ian Paisley Snr and an election agent to former DUP leader Peter Robinson -- and on the night he declared his victory a ' political earthquake of seismic proportions ' . Mr Paisley had held the seat since 2010 , and this was a shocking end to a family dynasty . The Belfast comedian was at the centre of national headlines after it was reported that an audience member at one of Mr Currie 's London comedy shows was allegedly told to " get the f*** out " after the crowd was encouraged to chant " free Palestine " by the stand-up comic . Soho Theatre in London apologised after the incident at the comedy gig left Jewish audience members feeling " unsafe " and " threatened " after the comedian , five minutes from the end of his performance , unveiled both a Ukrainian and Palestinian flag in front of the 200-strong audience , encouraging everyone to get up and applaud . Later in the year in the run-up to Glastonbury , Mr Currie claimed he was no longer " allowed " to perform at the annual festival , claiming it was due to the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism ( CAA ) putting " pressure " on event organisers . However , according to a statement issued to the Daily Mail , the event organisers stated that he had never been booked to participate in the first place . Fermanagh schoolgirl Nina He landed a dream role her mum said ' was perfect for her ' when she became the star of a new CBeebies show which follows the adventures of a six-year-old ukulele-playing girl in a magical garden filled with musical animal friends . The programme also features the voices of popular musicians . " I have videos of her as a baby dancing , and we would always have music on in the house " " She wakes up with music , she falls asleep with music , she never misses a beat . " Nina 's mum But the nine-year-old from Newtownbutler voices main character Yukee in the animated series of the same name , Yukee , just like Nina , is of Northern Irish and Chinese heritage. ? The role is , indeed , perfect for her . The BBC reporter made headlines when Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers signed off an interview with her by saying ' good girl ' in February . The comment was made during a post-match interview following his team 's 3-1 win over Motherwell . Ms Lewis had addressed the incident saying she did n't believe any offence had been meant and , for her part , none was taken . Rodgers found it " saddening " to be accused of sexism . " Sadly , for me , in society now ... they 'll find something that is offensive to try and pin onto people , " he said , adding that he had spoken to the reporter and they 'd ' had a laugh ' about it . The usual social media scrum begged to differ , and the incident led to women 's groups branding it ' casual sexism ' and calling on the Camlough native to apologise . The Scottish Feminist Network and For Women Scotland added : " That the go-to attitude of a manager of a winning team was condescension is quite illuminating but really very depressing in 2024 . We thought dinosaurs were extinct . " In March , the 75-year-old actor bowed out of medical drama Casualty after 38 years . Derek , aka Charlie Fairhead , was the programme 's longest-serving cast member and part of the first 1986 episode . Having acted in almost 900 episodes , in his final outing as the fictional nurse , he was stabbed by a patient and left fighting for his life . Fans breathed a sigh of relief as he survived , driven from the hospital with the message ' just retired ' on the back of the car . Retired from Casualty , maybe , retired from action ? Not a bit of it . It was n't long before he swapped scrubs for cardigans and polo shirts , returning to Belfast -- where he was born -- to star as Robin Graham in the second series of Blue Lights . His character was quickly in the thick of the action in the show after Jen Robinson asked questions about a decades-old cold case . Emerging as one of the stars of the All-Ireland Championship , the Armagh midfielder on his knees at full-time in the All-Ireland final was one of the defining images as the county brought the Sam Maguire back over the border following a thrilling win over Galway at Croke Park . In November , he received the Gaelic Writers ' Association 's Football Personality of the Year award , a year after he endured an enormous family tragedy . His brother Patrick was killed in November 2023 on the way home from his own surprise 40th birthday party -- his wife Ciera also died , as did Ciara McElvanna , wife of Armagh 2002 All-Ireland winner , Kevin . Niall dedicated his team 's All-Ireland win to Patrick . Taking dressing to impress to a whole new level , the tuxedo-clad toddler was in the limelight during Queen Camilla 's visit to a Belfast bakery . The dapper son of bakery owners William Corrie and former Blue Peter presenter and Miss Northern Ireland Zoe Salmon was certainly dressed for the occasion at Knotts Bakery , and drew the cameras ' attention away from a delighted royal . Fitzwilliam , known as Fitz , was described by his mum as ' naturally very chatty and very sociable ' and said she could n't sleep after seeing all the coverage . While Fitz posed for the cameras , coming right up to the lens , Queen Camilla called him ' a natural . ' ? ? From showing herself to be a dab hand at deception then a deft hand in masterly dealing with the culinary arts , Bangor born Diane Carson was one of 2024 's stars of reality television . The breakout star of the BBC 's second series of The Traitors was ' killed off ' in the reality show after drinking a goblet of fizzy rose , with fans finding her departure shocking -- she even received a ' funeral ' in her honour -- just as much as her revelation that another participant , Ross , was her son . Earlier this year , she was announced as a contestant on Celebrity MasterChef and partnered with laundry brand Ecover for its Let 's Come Clean campaign . She told the Belfast Telegraph that despite her success in England , she tries to come back to her hometown as much as possible. ? It was n't an easy route to Westminster for new North Down MP Alex Easton . Still getting over the death of his parents in a tragic house fire , he then got involved in a war of words with the TUV after the party said he went back on a promise by nominating the DUP 's Peter Martin to take his vacated Stormont seat . But in the midst of the campaign he also had to deal with the fallout after social media posts by his campaign manager , Austen Lennon , were called into question . Some were called out as ' racist ' , some were writing off manmade global warming as a ' fraud ' and another suggesting a race motive for the actions of a gang of thieves . Mr Easton confirmed Lennon had stood down from the role in June , but less than a week later it was revealed he was staying on , though would not participate in canvassing or other campaign activities . It did n't harm Mr Easton 's campaign though as he unseated Alliance MP Stephen Farry to win the seat . For a short time SDLP MLA Justin McNulty looked like he was for the ' chop ' rather than the ' chopper ' after making a James Bond-like getaway from Stormont to be in time to fulfil his other passion in life ; coaching gaelic football . He found himself suspended from the party after leaving parliament buildings early ' without permission ' . Mr McNulty was in attendance at the first sitting of the NI Assembly in February but the Laois manager left before proceedings closed to fly to Co Wexford where his team was playing a National Football League match at 6pm . It later emerged the MLA for Newry and Armagh travelled at least part of the more than 200-mile journey to the match by helicopter , boarded at Newtownards aerodrome . His early departure meant he missed colleague Matthew O'Toole being nominated as leader of the opposition . The whip was restored six months later , suspension served , as normal play resumed in August . Anto Brennan 's sculptures of the late Queen and Prince Philip at Antrim Castle Gardens .

Ciara Mageean is a middle-distance runner from Portaferry Ciara Mageean is a middle-distance runner from Portaferry Larne striker Andy Ryan Larne striker Andy Ryan Ulster Unionist MP Robin Swann with UUP colleagues Ulster Unionist MP Robin Swann with UUP colleagues The former general secretary and chief executive of the Royal College of Nursing ( RCN ) made a switch to politics by standing as a MP candidate for Sinn Fein in Fermanagh and South Tyrone , but the move was quickly clouded in controversy when the ex-nursing union leader failed to condemn the Omagh and Enniskillen bombings . Ahead of the election , her party leader Mary Lou McDonald leapt to her defence , declaring her to be " a good woman " . On election night Ms Cullen 's closest election challenger Diane Forsythe , though 4,500 votes adrift , said : " Whilst I wish Pat well and congratulate her and wish her well in the weeks and months ahead I would appeal to her to at least try to recognise the pains that have been revisited in recent weeks . " Ms Cullen acknowledged the tensions during the campaign , strongly emphasising to those people that did n't vote for her : " I will work night and day for every single person in Fermanagh South Tyrone " . Although the west Belfast actor first came to the attention of local television viewers when they starred in Bloodlands along with Jimmy Nesbitt , their star is now well on the rise in global terms after playing young IRA woman Dolours Price in Say Nothing . The rave reviews for their performance have been flooding in for their portrayal of the young Price as she was involved in the disappearance of Belfast woman Jean McConville and went on hunger strike in prison in Britain . In 2025 , viewers will also see Lola in the TV adaptation of Trespasses , the 2022 novel by Louise Kennedy set in the Northern Ireland of 1975 . Filmed in Ballymena , Lola will portray a Catholic schoolteacher who meets an older Protestant married man and finds herself caught up in a mysterious romance . Art critics can be a cruel breed , as north Belfast artist Anto Brennan found out in September when his sculptures of the late Queen and Prince Philip were unveiled at Antrim Castle Gardens . The armchair social media brigade had a field day . Anto is well known for his satirical ' piece process ' chess board , which featured key players from the Good Friday Agreement era and even included a caricature of the late monarch. ? He declined to comment on the reaction to his latest work , but the comments came thick and fast online with the statue of the late Queen compared to a fisherwoman , Mrs Doubtfire and Little Bo-Peep . Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council said it was " delighted with the generally positive response " . In a statement , it added it acknowledged " that art can sometimes spark diverse opinions , but it 's important to emphasise that the sculpture has been warmly received by most who have seen it in person " . And of course , everyone now knows it 's there . Portaferry athlete Ciara Mageean might not have enjoyed the Paris Olympic Games she 'd hoped for - injury ruling her out of competing , but elsewhere on the track the middle distance runner has had a stellar year and ended 2024 with an Honorary Masters from Ulster University for services to sport . Sadly for Mageean she was forced to pull out of the 1500m on the eve of her heat in the Olympics in August with " painful chronic Achilles issues " , all the harder to take after going into the Games on the back of winning the 1500m at the European Championships in Rome in June . " You have to roll with the punches and I 've had beautiful moments . The European Championships was one of them , " she said , having narrowly missed a place in the Olympic final four years earlier . " I 'm very determined that that wo n't be my last memory of an Olympic Games so it 's given me more fire in my belly for another four-year cycle . " Things could n't really have gone much better for Larne striker Andy Ryan in 2024 . The Scottish hitman not only fired 30 goals as the Invermen defended both their Irish Premiership and Co Antrim Shield titles , he became a history-maker -- the hard way . Trailing 2-1 to Gibraltar 's Lincoln Red Imps from the first leg of their Europa Conference League qualifier , they conceded again at Inver Park and the dream looked over . No one told Ryan , who went to work scoring twice from the penalty spot before the interval and sent the fans into orbit with a late winner . It meant Larne became the first team from Northern Ireland to qualify for the league stages of a European competition , added millions to the club 's bank balance and ensured legendary status for the striker . It was a good year for ' two birds ' . The former health minister ended his long-running defamation battle with Sir Van Morrison in September with a confidential resolution over their competing ? lawsuits over the handling of Covid restrictions . The politician , now MP for South Antrim , sued for slander after ? Sir Van ? declared that he was " very dangerous " in front of an audience at Belfast 's Europa Hotel in June 2021 . In a separate action , Sir Van sued Mr Swann and the Department of Health over an earlier opinion piece published in Rolling Stone magazine , which ? claimed some of the singer-songwriter 's anti-lockdown messages at the time were ' dangerous ' . Then in November Mr Swann admitted at the Covid inquiry that he did not provide a " sufficient " level of direction in upscaling critical care capacity early in the pandemic . In the middle of all the legalities , Mr Swann flew high to win the South Antrim seat and set up a new nest at Westminster . Kieran McKenna , Ipswich manager . It 's been a year of success for the Ipswich Town manager -- in the 2023-24 season , the club was the first since Southampton in 2012 to secure back-to-back promotions from League One to the Premier League . Signing a new contract which will keep him at Ipswich until 2028 , the team claimed a shock 2-1 victory in November at Spurs , ending their wait for a first Premier League win of the season and securing their first top flight win since April 2002 . Earlier this year , the manager said he 'd no doubts about swapping a role as first-team coach at Manchester United for Ipswich . Justice Minister Naomi Long High Court judge Mr Justice Humphreys made history in May when he overturned the law in Northern Ireland that prohibited the naming of alleged sexual offenders before they had been charged or until 25 years after their death . Until then journalists could have been sent to jail for calling Jimmy Savile a paedophile . Mr Justice Humphreys said it was beyond Stormont 's legislative competence to introduce the controversial act which had the " chilling effect " of imposing a criminal sanction on public interest journalism . The challenge was led by the Belfast Telegraph and backed by the Irish News . For a while it looked like Justice Minister Naomi Long would dig her heels in and mount an appeal , but a swathe of opposition to that move from fellow politicians across all parties meant the ruling went unchallenged , and victims who wished to tell their story were permitted , by law , to do so . Gymnast Rhys McClenaghan Some people want rid of all flags and emblems , some people ca n't get enough of them . But if you 're in the middle ground , in a position of decision making power , perhaps the best course of action is to stay well away from any debate as you 're damned if you fly it , you 're damned if you do n't . The chief executive of Commonwealth Games Northern Ireland ( CGNI ) had to inform police over concerns for his safety amid suggestions the flag representing Northern Ireland at the games be changed . Conal Heatley said some of his personal details had appeared on social media andthe organisation 's office received " threatening messages " online after suggestions the Ulster Banner should no longer be used to represent NI athletes . There are images in the mind of Col Tim , sleeves rolled up , arm out of the window , rollin ' rollin ' rollin ' along Bangor prom to a booming Limp Bizkit rock-rap track . On the surface , former SAS officer , hero of the Gulf War , Colonel Tim Collins looked the perfect fit to contest the North Down seat in July 's general election for the Ulster Unionist Party . Rather than a penalty kick to an empty net , it turned out to be quite the own goal as the move backfired , Collins crashed and burned in his Rolls-Royce and a political career was over before the engine got started . He probably had a point when he said he could insure his Rolls-Royce Wraith in England for what it costs to insure a Ford Fiesta in Northern Ireland . He was also critical of the ferry companies which connect Northern Ireland to Great Britain , which he described as ' the most expensive ferries anywhere in Europe ' . Casement Park They dared to dream , but on Friday , September 13 they woke up to a nightmare . Getting away with one announcement no one wants to hear is possible , getting away with two dropped at the same time did n't work . First the Labour government announced it would be pausing city deals totalling around ? 1bn for Belfast , Derry City & Strabane and the Causeway Coast & Glens -- as well as the Mid South West . Then it said there would be no money coming for Casement Park , the final nail in the coffin for hopes the Euro 2028 tournament would find a home in Belfast . Just a day later ? it was confirmed Derry & Strabane would be getting ? 290m -- although doubt remains for the Causeway and Mid South West deals . There was no rowing back on the ? 300m plus needed to Casement Park . The only good thing about a black Friday was that the bad news did n't , as it tends to do , come in threes ... A PSNI car on top of the pyre in Moygashel The lavish and unsavoury ' decorations ' on bonfires stepped up a gear and there was condemnation after a 1.3 tonne silver Vauxhall Vectra decorated to look like a police vehicle was placed on top of the pyre in Moygashel . The bonfire , sitting around 150 pallets high , has been widely condemned for its history of using controversial ' toppers ' for its pyres in recent years . In 2023 , an Irish tricolour and a poster of Leo Varadkar were placed on top of the bonfire , as well as a boat and a banner reading : " Good Friday Agreement ? That ship has sailed . " ? Loyalist activist Jamie Bryson thought differently : " I think this is a bit of edgy artistic expression , a bit like , for example , Kneecap , " he said . Anything you can do , we can do worse ... Billy Dixon Could there have been a better way to mark International Women 's Day than by inviting a man to speak at an event aimed at celebrating the achievements of women ? Well , yes . There could . Spare a thought for poor Billy Dixon , caught in the eye of the storm after accepting an invite from Newry and Mourne District Council back in March . The image consultant was forced to withdraw from the keynote speaker invitation to help " commemorate the cultural , political and socio-economic achievements of women " after some campaigners felt a woman should have been selected instead . Justice Minister Naomi Long called the decision ' mortifying ' and that , said Mr Dixon , disappointed him the most . " Women were on my side and I 've always been on their side . I 've always been an ally , not an enemy , " Mr Dixon said after a social media pile on forced his withdrawal . " If Naomi Long had bothered to contact me I 'd have told her my talk would be about inclusion , specifically about those on the fringes of society who are being exploited every day in Northern Ireland . " The event went ahead minus Mr Dixon , who the council should perhaps have called on again to dust down their own tarnished image . Liverpool footballer Conor Bradley This time last year not too many outside of the junior coaching ranks at Dungannon Swifts were aware of Conor Bradley . One year on and not only is he making great strides as Liverpool lead the Premier League title race , he 's also the shining light guiding a new breed of Northern Ireland kids on the international scene and mixing it with the best in the sport - just ask French superstar Kylian Mbapp ? if he wants to face him again after being unceremoniously upended as Liverpool beat his Real Madrid in the Champions League with a tackle that sent the internet into meltdown . While an injury has ruled him out for the final few weeks of the year , it 's still one Conor can look back on with immense pride . The only sadness is that Conor 's father Joe ( 58 ) was n't around to see his son 's continued rise to stardom , having passed away in March , just days after Bradley put in a man-of-the-match performance during a 4-1 win over Chelsea at Anfield when he became the first Northern Irish-born player to score a top flight goal for Liverpool in 70 years . From a timid , shy schoolboy at Glengormley High School to sparring in the jungle with Barry McGuigan , it 's been a breakthrough - if trialling - year for BBC Radio One DJ Dean McCullough . The Northern Irish presenter divided fans of I 'm A Celebrity after his mixed performance in the famous Bushtucker trials . During his stint in the jungle Dean completed seven trials , two of which ended early after he opted out of completing them by playing the ' Get me Out Of Here ' card . As the season progressed , however , Dean redeemed himself by winning 10 out of 12 stars in his last solo trial . But despite all the focus on Dean in the early stages of the series , he was the second celeb to be voted out of the camp . Dean left in true Norn Iron style though , saying he was relieved to return to home comforts and looking forward to a " bacon sandwich " . Wee Barry stayed the pace a little longer , finishing eighth . Hands up if you knew it was called The Boyne Bridge before they started to take it away ? In December work began on the demolition of the Sandy Row bridge with large parts of the structure having been removed -- despite a series of protests against the removal of the historical structure to make way for the continuing development of Grand Central Station . In October the Ulster Architectural Heritage Society ( UAHS ) went to the High Court in a last-minute bid to halt the removal . However , a judge ruled that the closure of Durham Street could go ahead as planned and the row over the bridge became just another lightning rod for arguments over Belfast 's transport infrastructure.King William of Orange is said to have crossed the old bridge in June 1690 on his way to the Boyne , while King James II is also thought to have retreated along the same path . The modern Boyne Bridge was constructed in the 1930s around the remains of the previous crossings . Belfast City Council , by way of appeasement , voted to call the new road Boyne Bridge Place , minus the bridge of course . There was a mole and he 's still in his hole ... As far as top secret meetings go , it was a top failure . With the DUP meeting to decide whether to return to Stormont in January , the doors may have seemed shut for the five hour session but leaking out through the cracks was every word thanks to a live stream of the ' top secret ' speech of then leader Jeffrey Donaldson . The chaotic , contentious meeting widely available ' as it happened ' . The mole , a ' senior DUP executive ' remains underground , having worn a wire to transmit the speech to loyalist activist Jamie Bryson outside the venue , who proceeded to let the watching world know what was said , word by word . And in the end , at a 1am press conference , the DUP decision was delivered to return to Stormont. Out with the old , in with the new and , in one case , in with the old again . There were new faces in OFMDFM as Sinn Fein vice president Michelle O'Neill became Stormont 's first nationalist First Minister , while the DUP 's Emma Little-Pengelly was named deputy First Minister . Three political parties swapped leadership , though not all through choice . Gavin Robinson was crowned as new DUP leader following the shock downfall of Jeffrey Donaldson as the party continued to dispense with leaders as quickly as celebrities get out of the jungle . The SDLP also shifted forces from Colum Eastwood , who stepped down after holding on to his Foyle seat in the general election - and there was a straight run to the top for popular South Belfast MP Claire Hanna who took over the leadership unopposed . Despite the Westminster election success of Robin Swann in South Antrim , Doug Beattie also found his race was run as leader over in the Ulster Unionist Party . With all the ' big names ' in the UUP already having ' had a go ' in the top job , Mike Nesbitt stepped into the breach for a second spell as leader . It was a year of ' nearlies ' for the star golfer . He nearly won the US Open , nearly won the Irish Open and nearly got divorced . His wait for a fifth major goes on , but at least his marriage has been saved after hitting headlines across the globe . In May he announced he was to divorce Erica Stoll , his wife of seven years and the mother of their three-year-old daughter Poppy . Then , ? right before the ? US Open , he shocked fans again when he released a statement that the divorce had been called off . The former world number one was also in the running for a fourth PGA Tour Player of the Year award having been nominated for the gong for the third consecutive season . It was also revealed in November that pre-tax profits at the golf royalty earnings firm owned by the Co Down sportsman last year declined by 36.5% to $9.24m after a hike in directors ' pay - but there 's always a silver lining , he ended the year as Europe 's best once more through victory in the season finale in DP World Tour Championship as he was crowned Race to Dubai champion for the sixth time in his career . Not all bad then . It was hailed by the community of south Armagh as doing more to improve community relations in " 30 seconds than in the previous 30 years " but the actions of a police officer in celebrating Armagh 's All-Ireland GAA win prompted a PSNI probe . Video footage appeared on social media showing a police car in Camlough using lights and sirens and flying an Armagh GAA flag following the Orchard County 's win over Galway in July . The footage showed an officer in a police vehicle pick up a flag from fans and waving it from the window while lapping a roundabout in the village . The police vehicle then performed a U-turn at a junction . The Police Federation subsequently told the BBC that the matter was " still at the investigative stage " , while no recommendations had been made for the Public Prosecution Service ( PPS ) , prompting the chief constable to publicly address the speculation , telling media : " Nothing has changed . They will be dealt with for the driving and the misconduct , and that 's it . " Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes It was a celebrity split that many could n't have predicted . In May , Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes -- a couple who appeared in multiple presenting roles together for decades -- announced they would be divorcing after 14 years of marriage , and a relationship that had lasted almost 30 years . Fans and the media expressed shock following the announcement but it had been reported the pair split over a year ago with Holmes wanting the news to be kept under wraps while they worked on their relationship . The joint statement at the time was said to have been arranged by Langsford , with Holmes ' refusing ' to get involved . " Ruth can do what she wants but keep me out of it , " the presenter is said to have told his friends . He thanked viewers for their support on GB News three days after the separation announcement . This month saw the west Belfast hip hop phenomenon Kneecap end a remarkable year when they became part of mainstream pop culture with a home city show at the SSE Arena . The Irish language rappers went global since the release of their wildly acclaimed semi-autobiographical movie , Kneecap earlier this year . The film , which was released in August , is based on the group 's early beginnings and stars Liam ? g ? Hannaidh , Naoise ? Caireall ? in and JJ ? Dochartaigh as themselves . In November , the group won its discrimination case over a decision by former Conservative minister Kemi Badenoch to refuse them funding for an arts grant . Under the terms of the settlement , it was agreed that the original decision had been " unlawful and procedurally unfair " . The band turned up at court with their famous police Land Rover . The group later donated the proceeds from the case between two community groups - one on the Shankill Road and one in west Belfast . Protests in the city centre soon turned aggressive and unable to reach a mosque in south Belfast a rump of the protesters turned to migrant owned businesses , attacking premises and causing thousands of pounds worth of damage . In November former Sinn Fein press officer Michael McMonagle was sentenced to nine months in custody and a further nine months on licence for a number of child sex offences . McMonagle had pleaded guilty weeks earlier and this precipitated weeks of chaos for Sinn Fein after it emerged two party colleagues , including the party 's top spin doctor at Stormont , wrote McMonagle references and he ended up taking a job at the British Heart Foundation . When the Sunday World found out about the references , Sinn F ? in pushed the letter writers , Se ? n Mag Uidhir and Caol ? n McGinley , to resign . Michelle O'Neill eventually had to apologise to the British Heart Foundation , who had been accused by some in Sinn Fein of not doing their due diligence before hiring McMonagle . It was mortifying for her as she claimed to know nothing of his new job , despite being pictured at a BHF photocall standing in front of McMonagle . There was no relief for SF down south , where prominent TD Brian Stanley left the party accusing Sinn F ? in chiefs of scheming to ruin his good name in a " kangaroo court " . Mary Lou McDonald had to apologise over the departure of former Belfast Lord Mayor Niall ? Donnghaile from the Seanad . It was wrongly claimed he had left for health reasons when in fact it followed a complaint that he pestered a teenage boy with texts . It was advertised as a ' Valentine 's Weekend Special ' in a post by event organiser The Devenish . Calling it ' a night filled with exciting thrills , perfect for a girls night out ' , performance group UK Pleasure Boys said it had ' definitely left their mark ' after X-rated footage of events circulated online -- and went viral . One of the prominent dancers ' Big Nate ' later told Sunday Life : " We 've not done anything wrong . We 're just hard-working lads putting on a show that 's a bit of fun , and we 've been getting stick for it . I think it 's just unique for this part of the country . " TV series Say Nothing has brought some badly-needed urgency to searches for the last of the Disappeared , the 17 killed and secretly buried by the IRA during the Troubles . Based on the non-fiction book by American journalist Patrick Radden Keefe , the nine-parter details the lives of IRA bombers Marian and Dolours Price and a major storyline is the abduction and murder of Jean McConville in 1972 , the first of the Disappeared . Earlier this month , the Belfast Telegraph reported how a republican came forward with new information he thinks will lead to the recovery of Columba McVeigh 's remains , one of the four remaining Disappeared . He volunteered the information after appeals made in the wake of Say Nothing . And last month remains believed to be those of former monk turned IRA man Joe Lynskey were recovered from a County Monaghan graveyard , though these have not been linked to the Disney+ series . The old adage ' smooth sailing ' could n't be applied to the Odyssey -- a 542ft-long cruise ship consisting of eight decks , 485 cabins and accommodating up to 650 residents -- which ended up spending an extended three-month stay in Belfast to a myriad of problems . Such was its series of set-backs , it attracted world-wide media attention giving rise to speculation that it was ' cursed ' -- a prospect only heightened by the fact that it was beginning its global journey in the same port that had built the Titanic . Many of Odyssey 's residents had sold their homes and cars to live aboard the ship as part of a world journey , visiting 147 countries and 425 destinations , all in just over three years . . Some residents took advantage of their extended break in the city , with two passengers -- Gian Perroni and Angela Harsanyi getting engaged after meeting as strangers on board , while two others -- Kat Cassingham and Dr Richard Namikas embarked on a 70-mile walking trek from Belfast to Derry to pass the time . Paris 2024 will go down as Northern Ireland 's best ever Olympics aslocal athletes picked upfour gold , one silver and two bronze medals . two bronzes , Swimmers Daniel Wiffen and Jack McMillan , rowers Rebecca Shorten , Hannah Scott and Philip Doyle and gymnast Rhys McClenaghan all had to make space in their luggage for some precious cargo . No athlete from Northern Ireland had won a gold medal since 1988 and no individual had claimed an Olympic title since Mary Peters in 1972 . Wiffen took top spot in the 800m freestyle final and bronze in the 1500m , sparking a fresh identity debate as people tried to work out whether Magheralin was in Armagh or Down . Representing Team Ireland , McClenaghan posted 15.533 to edge out Kazakhstan 's Nariman Kurbanov ( 15.433 ) on the pommel horse while Belfast 's McMillan was part of GB 's victorious 4 x 200m freestyle relay squad , in a time of 6:59:43 ahead of USA and Australia . Scott said there were ' no words ' after winning gold in the women 's quad sculls with Team GB , beating the Netherlands by just fifteen-hundredths of a second was the difference . When PSNI officers raided the home of Sir Jeffrey Donaldson on 28 March , he was at the peak of his political powers . The previous evening he 'd been at an ecumenical Easter concert in Parliament Buildings , where he was being congratulated for having masterminded the restoration of devolved government . He 'd faced down his critics , both internal and external , and -- it seemed -- won . That he 'd done so by misleading the public about the continued existence of an Irish Sea border he said the DUP would never accept was n't worrying too many of those who 'd desperately wanted to see devolution restored . For Donaldson , a man who from his youth had been immersed in unionist politics , this was the pinnacle . Within hours , the work of a lifetime was undone . No story this year combines the drama , the political significance , the legal seriousness and the public impact of Donaldson 's arrest , which within hours was followed by charges for multiple child sex offences . His wife , Lady Donaldson , was charged with assisting in some of the alleged crimes . Belfast Telegraph journalism is a lot more than reporting the news . It 's getting to the heart of the story , and it takes time , effort , and passion .

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

An investigation was launched in August after a worker at Belfast Zoo was allegedly locked in an enclosure with lions . The person involved was understood to be over the age of 18 and was at the zoo " in a training capacity " . The individual was left unattended in the enclosure after a more experienced employee , who had been present , left the paddock . The gate was locked and the animals -- Belfast Zoo is home to a pride of Barbary lions -- were free to roam . Later that month , the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums ( BIAZA ) confirmed it was working with Belfast Zoo while Belfast City Council said it takes " the safety of all our staff , visitors and animals very seriously " and the circumstances were being investigated . Nineteen years , 953 games and 12 trophies after first walking through the gates at Seaview , Stephen Baxter said his farewells to the north Belfast Irish League club , leaving fans wondering how they would cope without him . Crusaders fans had been shocked in February when it was announced the world 's longest-serving boss would be leaving at the end of the 2024 football season . But they were provided with one final curtain call in July when they lost on penalties to Caernarfon Town in the Europa Conference League - Baxter stepping back into the dugout as his successor Declan Caddell did n't have the necessary qualifications to take charge in UEFA competitions . Proof that you ca n't keep a good man(ager) down for too long - and further proof was just around the corner as Baxter then took over as Carrick Rangers boss in October. ? Gladiator ... ready ? Yes , was the answer from west Belfast woman Tuathlaith , who had been ready since watching the original series as a child . She made her " childhood dream come true " when she appeared in the rebooted Gladiators in February . Sports enthusiast Tuathlaith -- who plays for football club the Belfast Ravens -- hung tough , played powerball , scaled the wall and tackled the super-tough ' Eliminator ' before narrowly missing out on a place in the programme 's quarter-final . She admitted that while she was " gutted " to be knocked out of the show , she would continue to tune in. ? " I was addicted to the original series growing up and was always told off when it came on TV because I used to sit so close to the screen , " she said . So close , it seems , that she ended up on it ! In May , it was announced that the Northern Ireland broadcaster was among a group of four senior female BBC journalists beginning legal proceedings against the broadcaster claiming a job application was ' rigged ' . Ms McVeigh , alongside Kasia Madera , Martine Croxall and Karin Giannone , familiar faces on the BBC 's news channel and news bulletins , launched an employment tribunal against the broadcaster , alleging they were snubbed over chief presenter roles following the merger of the BBC 's News and World News channels . The four , it was said , had been removed from their presenting roles ' as part of efforts to streamline the corporation 's news output ' . Ms McVeigh was back on presenting duties in May . A Queen 's University graduate , McVeigh grew up on a farm outside Armagh and went to school in Dungannon and had been a presenter on the BBC News Channel since 2006. In June , Lilian Seenoi-Barr made history when she became Northern Ireland 's first black mayor , and only the third on the island of Ireland . She was installed as mayor of Derry City and Strabane , having arrived in Londonderry 14 years ago as a refugee from Kenya . Ms Seenoi-Barr has been a councillor for the Foyleside ward since 2021 when she was co-opted by the SDLP . She said she was committed to working for the entire community and would be one ' who is accessible and one will lead with hope ' , going on to say it was time to build ' a more inclusive , prosperous and vibrant Derry City and Strabane District Council ' . The 24-year-old was crowned Miss NI at the end of May in a glitzy ceremony , but refused to let her newfound fame get in the way of the day job - and it was n't long before she was back at work . The renal nurse at Belfast City Hospital works with patients including those requiring kidney transplants . The daughter of former Irish rugby star Paddy Johns and sister of Linfield goalkeeper Chris Johns , she ran this year 's Belfast marathon to raise funds for NI Kidney Research and hopes to use her new platform to spread awareness about kidney health and renal conditions . Ms Johns said her family 's competitive nature meant she entered Miss NI determined to win. ? And did you know , she can also ' polish off a jar of pickles in one sitting ' ? Her dad , she said , always told her ' no pain no gain ' and she 's really taken that to heart . Until May , Kali 's best tricks were wolf whistling , saying ' whatcha doing ? ' or shouting ' Peekaboo ' . Then she embarked on her own game of hide-and-seek . The seven-month-old double yellow-headed amazon parrot caused quite a kerfuffle after escaping from Andy and Gail Tait 's home in Donaghcloney . The bird ' scooted ' past Andy 's arm when he attempted to give her some water in her cage , leading to a 48-hour outdoor adventure which concluded when she was lured in by her love of beef-flavoured McCoy crisps . She had earlier made a guest appearance on the roof of a local primary school on her tour of the village . At the time Mark Baxter , DUP councillor for the area , said Kali had found fame and that she ' has really captured the imagination of the entire village ' who had all been on the lookout for Andy 's feathered friend . The former Irish Paralympic athlete danced to glory in March , securing the top spot as RTE 's Dancing with the Stars 2024 champion . The Co Londonderry athlete , who is legally blind and dubbed ' the world 's fastest Paralympian ' for his record-breaking performances on the track , did n't let a series of low scores run him out of the competition and shimmied his way to the top of the podium once more . He was praised throughout the series and was fully supported by dance partner Karen Byrne , who wore a blindfold for the pair 's show dance . Smyth told viewers he hoped his appearance would ' change people 's perceptions about what is possible and impossible . ' He pipped fellow Northern Irish contestant , former Ru Paul 's Drag Race participant Blu Hydrangea , as well as Wild Youth 's David Whelan and radio presenter Laura Fox in the final , finishing the series lifting the Glitterball trophy. ? ? The Belfast-born KC was the renowned lawyer at the helm of the Northern Ireland module of the UK wide Covid inquiry , with her handling having been widely praised . A former pupil of St Louise 's Comprehensive College , she studied law at Clare College , Cambridge and has been based in London as a barrister since 1999 . Prior to becoming a KC , she served as Counsel to the Crown for 17 years . She was part of the Bloody Sunday Inquiry and acted as counsel to the inquiry into children 's homes in Lambeth , as part of her role as counsel to the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse . She 's also represented the United States in their case against Julian Assange. ? Under her forensic examination , First Minister Michelle O'Neill found herself offering an apology for breaching Covid regulations by attending the funeral of veteran republican Bobby Storey and exposed politicians left , right and centre for failure to plan , sectarianising , abuse of the cross-community vote process , ' special pleading ' and the bluff resorted to so often in our unique form of government that makes doing the right thing almost impossible . What better way to let off some steam after the heat of an election battle than serving yourself up a little Wimbledon treat . Just hours after she was unsuccessful in winning in Belfast East , Alliance leader Naomi Long was pictured at Wimbledon . She was spotted enjoying the action on court alongside husband Cllr Michael Long -- the pair were sipping on champagne and Pimms . It had been game , set and match to Gavin Robinson in the battle for the Westminster seat , winning with 19,894 votes with the justice minister securing 17,218 . On the face of it , she seemed quite content to return to her ministry at Stormont having thought long and hard about standing for Westminster before electing to put her name forward . It was n't the only treat Naomi enjoyed in 2024 , she had a holiday in the Caribbean in October , much to the annoyance of her political opponents . In August , a BBC investigation cleared the sports reporter of showing ' pro-republican ' bias after he had appeared on screen with his face painted in the colour of the Armagh and Galway GAA teams during a preview of the All-Ireland final . Concerns were raised by TUV deputy leader Ron McDowell , who stated the broadcaster would not have allowed a reporter to have their face painted orange when presenting the Twelfth coverage . The BBC received two official complaints about the broadcast , but the probe cleared Sidebottom of any wrongdoing saying it was " playfully intended in a report that was light-hearted in its content , tone and approach " . The bigger they come , the harder they fall . For almost 54 years politics in North Antrim had been dominated by one name -- until July this year when we witnessed the fall of the House of Paisley . TUV leader Jim Allister unseated Ian Paisley Jr in the general election by 450 votes . Allister had once been a personal assistant to Ian Paisley Snr and an election agent to former DUP leader Peter Robinson -- and on the night he declared his victory a ' political earthquake of seismic proportions ' . Mr Paisley had held the seat since 2010 , and this was a shocking end to a family dynasty . The Belfast comedian was at the centre of national headlines after it was reported that an audience member at one of Mr Currie 's London comedy shows was allegedly told to " get the f*** out " after the crowd was encouraged to chant " free Palestine " by the stand-up comic . Soho Theatre in London apologised after the incident at the comedy gig left Jewish audience members feeling " unsafe " and " threatened " after the comedian , five minutes from the end of his performance , unveiled both a Ukrainian and Palestinian flag in front of the 200-strong audience , encouraging everyone to get up and applaud . Later in the year in the run-up to Glastonbury , Mr Currie claimed he was no longer " allowed " to perform at the annual festival , claiming it was due to the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism ( CAA ) putting " pressure " on event organisers . However , according to a statement issued to the Daily Mail , the event organisers stated that he had never been booked to participate in the first place . Fermanagh schoolgirl Nina He landed a dream role her mum said ' was perfect for her ' when she became the star of a new CBeebies show which follows the adventures of a six-year-old ukulele-playing girl in a magical garden filled with musical animal friends . The programme also features the voices of popular musicians . " I have videos of her as a baby dancing , and we would always have music on in the house " " She wakes up with music , she falls asleep with music , she never misses a beat . " Nina 's mum But the nine-year-old from Newtownbutler voices main character Yukee in the animated series of the same name , Yukee , just like Nina , is of Northern Irish and Chinese heritage. ? The role is , indeed , perfect for her . The BBC reporter made headlines when Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers signed off an interview with her by saying ' good girl ' in February . The comment was made during a post-match interview following his team 's 3-1 win over Motherwell . Ms Lewis had addressed the incident saying she did n't believe any offence had been meant and , for her part , none was taken . Rodgers found it " saddening " to be accused of sexism . " Sadly , for me , in society now ... they 'll find something that is offensive to try and pin onto people , " he said , adding that he had spoken to the reporter and they 'd ' had a laugh ' about it . The usual social media scrum begged to differ , and the incident led to women 's groups branding it ' casual sexism ' and calling on the Camlough native to apologise . The Scottish Feminist Network and For Women Scotland added : " That the go-to attitude of a manager of a winning team was condescension is quite illuminating but really very depressing in 2024 . We thought dinosaurs were extinct . " In March , the 75-year-old actor bowed out of medical drama Casualty after 38 years . Derek , aka Charlie Fairhead , was the programme 's longest-serving cast member and part of the first 1986 episode . Having acted in almost 900 episodes , in his final outing as the fictional nurse , he was stabbed by a patient and left fighting for his life . Fans breathed a sigh of relief as he survived , driven from the hospital with the message ' just retired ' on the back of the car . Retired from Casualty , maybe , retired from action ? Not a bit of it . It was n't long before he swapped scrubs for cardigans and polo shirts , returning to Belfast -- where he was born -- to star as Robin Graham in the second series of Blue Lights . His character was quickly in the thick of the action in the show after Jen Robinson asked questions about a decades-old cold case . Emerging as one of the stars of the All-Ireland Championship , the Armagh midfielder on his knees at full-time in the All-Ireland final was one of the defining images as the county brought the Sam Maguire back over the border following a thrilling win over Galway at Croke Park . In November , he received the Gaelic Writers ' Association 's Football Personality of the Year award , a year after he endured an enormous family tragedy . His brother Patrick was killed in November 2023 on the way home from his own surprise 40th birthday party -- his wife Ciera also died , as did Ciara McElvanna , wife of Armagh 2002 All-Ireland winner , Kevin . Niall dedicated his team 's All-Ireland win to Patrick . Taking dressing to impress to a whole new level , the tuxedo-clad toddler was in the limelight during Queen Camilla 's visit to a Belfast bakery . The dapper son of bakery owners William Corrie and former Blue Peter presenter and Miss Northern Ireland Zoe Salmon was certainly dressed for the occasion at Knotts Bakery , and drew the cameras ' attention away from a delighted royal . Fitzwilliam , known as Fitz , was described by his mum as ' naturally very chatty and very sociable ' and said she could n't sleep after seeing all the coverage . While Fitz posed for the cameras , coming right up to the lens , Queen Camilla called him ' a natural . ' ? ? From showing herself to be a dab hand at deception then a deft hand in masterly dealing with the culinary arts , Bangor born Diane Carson was one of 2024 's stars of reality television . The breakout star of the BBC 's second series of The Traitors was ' killed off ' in the reality show after drinking a goblet of fizzy rose , with fans finding her departure shocking -- she even received a ' funeral ' in her honour -- just as much as her revelation that another participant , Ross , was her son . Earlier this year , she was announced as a contestant on Celebrity MasterChef and partnered with laundry brand Ecover for its Let 's Come Clean campaign . She told the Belfast Telegraph that despite her success in England , she tries to come back to her hometown as much as possible. ? It was n't an easy route to Westminster for new North Down MP Alex Easton . Still getting over the death of his parents in a tragic house fire , he then got involved in a war of words with the TUV after the party said he went back on a promise by nominating the DUP 's Peter Martin to take his vacated Stormont seat . But in the midst of the campaign he also had to deal with the fallout after social media posts by his campaign manager , Austen Lennon , were called into question . Some were called out as ' racist ' , some were writing off manmade global warming as a ' fraud ' and another suggesting a race motive for the actions of a gang of thieves . Mr Easton confirmed Lennon had stood down from the role in June , but less than a week later it was revealed he was staying on , though would not participate in canvassing or other campaign activities . It did n't harm Mr Easton 's campaign though as he unseated Alliance MP Stephen Farry to win the seat . For a short time SDLP MLA Justin McNulty looked like he was for the ' chop ' rather than the ' chopper ' after making a James Bond-like getaway from Stormont to be in time to fulfil his other passion in life ; coaching gaelic football . He found himself suspended from the party after leaving parliament buildings early ' without permission ' . Mr McNulty was in attendance at the first sitting of the NI Assembly in February but the Laois manager left before proceedings closed to fly to Co Wexford where his team was playing a National Football League match at 6pm . It later emerged the MLA for Newry and Armagh travelled at least part of the more than 200-mile journey to the match by helicopter , boarded at Newtownards aerodrome . His early departure meant he missed colleague Matthew O'Toole being nominated as leader of the opposition . The whip was restored six months later , suspension served , as normal play resumed in August . Anto Brennan 's sculptures of the late Queen and Prince Philip at Antrim Castle Gardens .

Ciara Mageean is a middle-distance runner from Portaferry Ciara Mageean is a middle-distance runner from Portaferry Larne striker Andy Ryan Larne striker Andy Ryan Ulster Unionist MP Robin Swann with UUP colleagues Ulster Unionist MP Robin Swann with UUP colleagues The former general secretary and chief executive of the Royal College of Nursing ( RCN ) made a switch to politics by standing as a MP candidate for Sinn Fein in Fermanagh and South Tyrone , but the move was quickly clouded in controversy when the ex-nursing union leader failed to condemn the Omagh and Enniskillen bombings . Ahead of the election , her party leader Mary Lou McDonald leapt to her defence , declaring her to be " a good woman " . On election night Ms Cullen 's closest election challenger Diane Forsythe , though 4,500 votes adrift , said : " Whilst I wish Pat well and congratulate her and wish her well in the weeks and months ahead I would appeal to her to at least try to recognise the pains that have been revisited in recent weeks . " Ms Cullen acknowledged the tensions during the campaign , strongly emphasising to those people that did n't vote for her : " I will work night and day for every single person in Fermanagh South Tyrone " . Although the west Belfast actor first came to the attention of local television viewers when they starred in Bloodlands along with Jimmy Nesbitt , their star is now well on the rise in global terms after playing young IRA woman Dolours Price in Say Nothing . The rave reviews for their performance have been flooding in for their portrayal of the young Price as she was involved in the disappearance of Belfast woman Jean McConville and went on hunger strike in prison in Britain . In 2025 , viewers will also see Lola in the TV adaptation of Trespasses , the 2022 novel by Louise Kennedy set in the Northern Ireland of 1975 . Filmed in Ballymena , Lola will portray a Catholic schoolteacher who meets an older Protestant married man and finds herself caught up in a mysterious romance . Art critics can be a cruel breed , as north Belfast artist Anto Brennan found out in September when his sculptures of the late Queen and Prince Philip were unveiled at Antrim Castle Gardens . The armchair social media brigade had a field day . Anto is well known for his satirical ' piece process ' chess board , which featured key players from the Good Friday Agreement era and even included a caricature of the late monarch. ? He declined to comment on the reaction to his latest work , but the comments came thick and fast online with the statue of the late Queen compared to a fisherwoman , Mrs Doubtfire and Little Bo-Peep . Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council said it was " delighted with the generally positive response " . In a statement , it added it acknowledged " that art can sometimes spark diverse opinions , but it 's important to emphasise that the sculpture has been warmly received by most who have seen it in person " . And of course , everyone now knows it 's there . Portaferry athlete Ciara Mageean might not have enjoyed the Paris Olympic Games she 'd hoped for - injury ruling her out of competing , but elsewhere on the track the middle distance runner has had a stellar year and ended 2024 with an Honorary Masters from Ulster University for services to sport . Sadly for Mageean she was forced to pull out of the 1500m on the eve of her heat in the Olympics in August with " painful chronic Achilles issues " , all the harder to take after going into the Games on the back of winning the 1500m at the European Championships in Rome in June . " You have to roll with the punches and I 've had beautiful moments . The European Championships was one of them , " she said , having narrowly missed a place in the Olympic final four years earlier . " I 'm very determined that that wo n't be my last memory of an Olympic Games so it 's given me more fire in my belly for another four-year cycle . " Things could n't really have gone much better for Larne striker Andy Ryan in 2024 . The Scottish hitman not only fired 30 goals as the Invermen defended both their Irish Premiership and Co Antrim Shield titles , he became a history-maker -- the hard way . Trailing 2-1 to Gibraltar 's Lincoln Red Imps from the first leg of their Europa Conference League qualifier , they conceded again at Inver Park and the dream looked over . No one told Ryan , who went to work scoring twice from the penalty spot before the interval and sent the fans into orbit with a late winner . It meant Larne became the first team from Northern Ireland to qualify for the league stages of a European competition , added millions to the club 's bank balance and ensured legendary status for the striker . It was a good year for ' two birds ' . The former health minister ended his long-running defamation battle with Sir Van Morrison in September with a confidential resolution over their competing ? lawsuits over the handling of Covid restrictions . The politician , now MP for South Antrim , sued for slander after ? Sir Van ? declared that he was " very dangerous " in front of an audience at Belfast 's Europa Hotel in June 2021 . In a separate action , Sir Van sued Mr Swann and the Department of Health over an earlier opinion piece published in Rolling Stone magazine , which ? claimed some of the singer-songwriter 's anti-lockdown messages at the time were ' dangerous ' . Then in November Mr Swann admitted at the Covid inquiry that he did not provide a " sufficient " level of direction in upscaling critical care capacity early in the pandemic . In the middle of all the legalities , Mr Swann flew high to win the South Antrim seat and set up a new nest at Westminster . Kieran McKenna , Ipswich manager . It 's been a year of success for the Ipswich Town manager -- in the 2023-24 season , the club was the first since Southampton in 2012 to secure back-to-back promotions from League One to the Premier League . Signing a new contract which will keep him at Ipswich until 2028 , the team claimed a shock 2-1 victory in November at Spurs , ending their wait for a first Premier League win of the season and securing their first top flight win since April 2002 . Earlier this year , the manager said he 'd no doubts about swapping a role as first-team coach at Manchester United for Ipswich . Justice Minister Naomi Long High Court judge Mr Justice Humphreys made history in May when he overturned the law in Northern Ireland that prohibited the naming of alleged sexual offenders before they had been charged or until 25 years after their death . Until then journalists could have been sent to jail for calling Jimmy Savile a paedophile . Mr Justice Humphreys said it was beyond Stormont 's legislative competence to introduce the controversial act which had the " chilling effect " of imposing a criminal sanction on public interest journalism . The challenge was led by the Belfast Telegraph and backed by the Irish News . For a while it looked like Justice Minister Naomi Long would dig her heels in and mount an appeal , but a swathe of opposition to that move from fellow politicians across all parties meant the ruling went unchallenged , and victims who wished to tell their story were permitted , by law , to do so . Gymnast Rhys McClenaghan Some people want rid of all flags and emblems , some people ca n't get enough of them . But if you 're in the middle ground , in a position of decision making power , perhaps the best course of action is to stay well away from any debate as you 're damned if you fly it , you 're damned if you do n't . The chief executive of Commonwealth Games Northern Ireland ( CGNI ) had to inform police over concerns for his safety amid suggestions the flag representing Northern Ireland at the games be changed . Conal Heatley said some of his personal details had appeared on social media andthe organisation 's office received " threatening messages " online after suggestions the Ulster Banner should no longer be used to represent NI athletes . There are images in the mind of Col Tim , sleeves rolled up , arm out of the window , rollin ' rollin ' rollin ' along Bangor prom to a booming Limp Bizkit rock-rap track . On the surface , former SAS officer , hero of the Gulf War , Colonel Tim Collins looked the perfect fit to contest the North Down seat in July 's general election for the Ulster Unionist Party . Rather than a penalty kick to an empty net , it turned out to be quite the own goal as the move backfired , Collins crashed and burned in his Rolls-Royce and a political career was over before the engine got started . He probably had a point when he said he could insure his Rolls-Royce Wraith in England for what it costs to insure a Ford Fiesta in Northern Ireland . He was also critical of the ferry companies which connect Northern Ireland to Great Britain , which he described as ' the most expensive ferries anywhere in Europe ' . Casement Park They dared to dream , but on Friday , September 13 they woke up to a nightmare . Getting away with one announcement no one wants to hear is possible , getting away with two dropped at the same time did n't work . First the Labour government announced it would be pausing city deals totalling around ? 1bn for Belfast , Derry City & Strabane and the Causeway Coast & Glens -- as well as the Mid South West . Then it said there would be no money coming for Casement Park , the final nail in the coffin for hopes the Euro 2028 tournament would find a home in Belfast . Just a day later ? it was confirmed Derry & Strabane would be getting ? 290m -- although doubt remains for the Causeway and Mid South West deals . There was no rowing back on the ? 300m plus needed to Casement Park . The only good thing about a black Friday was that the bad news did n't , as it tends to do , come in threes ... A PSNI car on top of the pyre in Moygashel The lavish and unsavoury ' decorations ' on bonfires stepped up a gear and there was condemnation after a 1.3 tonne silver Vauxhall Vectra decorated to look like a police vehicle was placed on top of the pyre in Moygashel . The bonfire , sitting around 150 pallets high , has been widely condemned for its history of using controversial ' toppers ' for its pyres in recent years . In 2023 , an Irish tricolour and a poster of Leo Varadkar were placed on top of the bonfire , as well as a boat and a banner reading : " Good Friday Agreement ? That ship has sailed . " ? Loyalist activist Jamie Bryson thought differently : " I think this is a bit of edgy artistic expression , a bit like , for example , Kneecap , " he said . Anything you can do , we can do worse ... Billy Dixon Could there have been a better way to mark International Women 's Day than by inviting a man to speak at an event aimed at celebrating the achievements of women ? Well , yes . There could . Spare a thought for poor Billy Dixon , caught in the eye of the storm after accepting an invite from Newry and Mourne District Council back in March . The image consultant was forced to withdraw from the keynote speaker invitation to help " commemorate the cultural , political and socio-economic achievements of women " after some campaigners felt a woman should have been selected instead . Justice Minister Naomi Long called the decision ' mortifying ' and that , said Mr Dixon , disappointed him the most . " Women were on my side and I 've always been on their side . I 've always been an ally , not an enemy , " Mr Dixon said after a social media pile on forced his withdrawal . " If Naomi Long had bothered to contact me I 'd have told her my talk would be about inclusion , specifically about those on the fringes of society who are being exploited every day in Northern Ireland . " The event went ahead minus Mr Dixon , who the council should perhaps have called on again to dust down their own tarnished image . Liverpool footballer Conor Bradley This time last year not too many outside of the junior coaching ranks at Dungannon Swifts were aware of Conor Bradley . One year on and not only is he making great strides as Liverpool lead the Premier League title race , he 's also the shining light guiding a new breed of Northern Ireland kids on the international scene and mixing it with the best in the sport - just ask French superstar Kylian Mbapp ? if he wants to face him again after being unceremoniously upended as Liverpool beat his Real Madrid in the Champions League with a tackle that sent the internet into meltdown . While an injury has ruled him out for the final few weeks of the year , it 's still one Conor can look back on with immense pride . The only sadness is that Conor 's father Joe ( 58 ) was n't around to see his son 's continued rise to stardom , having passed away in March , just days after Bradley put in a man-of-the-match performance during a 4-1 win over Chelsea at Anfield when he became the first Northern Irish-born player to score a top flight goal for Liverpool in 70 years . From a timid , shy schoolboy at Glengormley High School to sparring in the jungle with Barry McGuigan , it 's been a breakthrough - if trialling - year for BBC Radio One DJ Dean McCullough . The Northern Irish presenter divided fans of I 'm A Celebrity after his mixed performance in the famous Bushtucker trials . During his stint in the jungle Dean completed seven trials , two of which ended early after he opted out of completing them by playing the ' Get me Out Of Here ' card . As the season progressed , however , Dean redeemed himself by winning 10 out of 12 stars in his last solo trial . But despite all the focus on Dean in the early stages of the series , he was the second celeb to be voted out of the camp . Dean left in true Norn Iron style though , saying he was relieved to return to home comforts and looking forward to a " bacon sandwich " . Wee Barry stayed the pace a little longer , finishing eighth . Hands up if you knew it was called The Boyne Bridge before they started to take it away ? In December work began on the demolition of the Sandy Row bridge with large parts of the structure having been removed -- despite a series of protests against the removal of the historical structure to make way for the continuing development of Grand Central Station . In October the Ulster Architectural Heritage Society ( UAHS ) went to the High Court in a last-minute bid to halt the removal . However , a judge ruled that the closure of Durham Street could go ahead as planned and the row over the bridge became just another lightning rod for arguments over Belfast 's transport infrastructure.King William of Orange is said to have crossed the old bridge in June 1690 on his way to the Boyne , while King James II is also thought to have retreated along the same path . The modern Boyne Bridge was constructed in the 1930s around the remains of the previous crossings . Belfast City Council , by way of appeasement , voted to call the new road Boyne Bridge Place , minus the bridge of course . There was a mole and he 's still in his hole ... As far as top secret meetings go , it was a top failure . With the DUP meeting to decide whether to return to Stormont in January , the doors may have seemed shut for the five hour session but leaking out through the cracks was every word thanks to a live stream of the ' top secret ' speech of then leader Jeffrey Donaldson . The chaotic , contentious meeting widely available ' as it happened ' . The mole , a ' senior DUP executive ' remains underground , having worn a wire to transmit the speech to loyalist activist Jamie Bryson outside the venue , who proceeded to let the watching world know what was said , word by word . And in the end , at a 1am press conference , the DUP decision was delivered to return to Stormont. Out with the old , in with the new and , in one case , in with the old again . There were new faces in OFMDFM as Sinn Fein vice president Michelle O'Neill became Stormont 's first nationalist First Minister , while the DUP 's Emma Little-Pengelly was named deputy First Minister . Three political parties swapped leadership , though not all through choice . Gavin Robinson was crowned as new DUP leader following the shock downfall of Jeffrey Donaldson as the party continued to dispense with leaders as quickly as celebrities get out of the jungle . The SDLP also shifted forces from Colum Eastwood , who stepped down after holding on to his Foyle seat in the general election - and there was a straight run to the top for popular South Belfast MP Claire Hanna who took over the leadership unopposed . Despite the Westminster election success of Robin Swann in South Antrim , Doug Beattie also found his race was run as leader over in the Ulster Unionist Party . With all the ' big names ' in the UUP already having ' had a go ' in the top job , Mike Nesbitt stepped into the breach for a second spell as leader . It was a year of ' nearlies ' for the star golfer . He nearly won the US Open , nearly won the Irish Open and nearly got divorced . His wait for a fifth major goes on , but at least his marriage has been saved after hitting headlines across the globe . In May he announced he was to divorce Erica Stoll , his wife of seven years and the mother of their three-year-old daughter Poppy . Then , ? right before the ? US Open , he shocked fans again when he released a statement that the divorce had been called off . The former world number one was also in the running for a fourth PGA Tour Player of the Year award having been nominated for the gong for the third consecutive season . It was also revealed in November that pre-tax profits at the golf royalty earnings firm owned by the Co Down sportsman last year declined by 36.5% to $9.24m after a hike in directors ' pay - but there 's always a silver lining , he ended the year as Europe 's best once more through victory in the season finale in DP World Tour Championship as he was crowned Race to Dubai champion for the sixth time in his career . Not all bad then . It was hailed by the community of south Armagh as doing more to improve community relations in " 30 seconds than in the previous 30 years " but the actions of a police officer in celebrating Armagh 's All-Ireland GAA win prompted a PSNI probe . Video footage appeared on social media showing a police car in Camlough using lights and sirens and flying an Armagh GAA flag following the Orchard County 's win over Galway in July . The footage showed an officer in a police vehicle pick up a flag from fans and waving it from the window while lapping a roundabout in the village . The police vehicle then performed a U-turn at a junction . The Police Federation subsequently told the BBC that the matter was " still at the investigative stage " , while no recommendations had been made for the Public Prosecution Service ( PPS ) , prompting the chief constable to publicly address the speculation , telling media : " Nothing has changed . They will be dealt with for the driving and the misconduct , and that 's it . " Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes It was a celebrity split that many could n't have predicted . In May , Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes -- a couple who appeared in multiple presenting roles together for decades -- announced they would be divorcing after 14 years of marriage , and a relationship that had lasted almost 30 years . Fans and the media expressed shock following the announcement but it had been reported the pair split over a year ago with Holmes wanting the news to be kept under wraps while they worked on their relationship . The joint statement at the time was said to have been arranged by Langsford , with Holmes ' refusing ' to get involved . " Ruth can do what she wants but keep me out of it , " the presenter is said to have told his friends . He thanked viewers for their support on GB News three days after the separation announcement . This month saw the west Belfast hip hop phenomenon Kneecap end a remarkable year when they became part of mainstream pop culture with a home city show at the SSE Arena . The Irish language rappers went global since the release of their wildly acclaimed semi-autobiographical movie , Kneecap earlier this year . The film , which was released in August , is based on the group 's early beginnings and stars Liam ? g ? Hannaidh , Naoise ? Caireall ? in and JJ ? Dochartaigh as themselves . In November , the group won its discrimination case over a decision by former Conservative minister Kemi Badenoch to refuse them funding for an arts grant . Under the terms of the settlement , it was agreed that the original decision had been " unlawful and procedurally unfair " . The band turned up at court with their famous police Land Rover . The group later donated the proceeds from the case between two community groups - one on the Shankill Road and one in west Belfast . Protests in the city centre soon turned aggressive and unable to reach a mosque in south Belfast a rump of the protesters turned to migrant owned businesses , attacking premises and causing thousands of pounds worth of damage . In November former Sinn Fein press officer Michael McMonagle was sentenced to nine months in custody and a further nine months on licence for a number of child sex offences . McMonagle had pleaded guilty weeks earlier and this precipitated weeks of chaos for Sinn Fein after it emerged two party colleagues , including the party 's top spin doctor at Stormont , wrote McMonagle references and he ended up taking a job at the British Heart Foundation . When the Sunday World found out about the references , Sinn F ? in pushed the letter writers , Se ? n Mag Uidhir and Caol ? n McGinley , to resign . Michelle O'Neill eventually had to apologise to the British Heart Foundation , who had been accused by some in Sinn Fein of not doing their due diligence before hiring McMonagle . It was mortifying for her as she claimed to know nothing of his new job , despite being pictured at a BHF photocall standing in front of McMonagle . There was no relief for SF down south , where prominent TD Brian Stanley left the party accusing Sinn F ? in chiefs of scheming to ruin his good name in a " kangaroo court " . Mary Lou McDonald had to apologise over the departure of former Belfast Lord Mayor Niall ? Donnghaile from the Seanad . It was wrongly claimed he had left for health reasons when in fact it followed a complaint that he pestered a teenage boy with texts . It was advertised as a ' Valentine 's Weekend Special ' in a post by event organiser The Devenish . Calling it ' a night filled with exciting thrills , perfect for a girls night out ' , performance group UK Pleasure Boys said it had ' definitely left their mark ' after X-rated footage of events circulated online -- and went viral . One of the prominent dancers ' Big Nate ' later told Sunday Life : " We 've not done anything wrong . We 're just hard-working lads putting on a show that 's a bit of fun , and we 've been getting stick for it . I think it 's just unique for this part of the country . " TV series Say Nothing has brought some badly-needed urgency to searches for the last of the Disappeared , the 17 killed and secretly buried by the IRA during the Troubles . Based on the non-fiction book by American journalist Patrick Radden Keefe , the nine-parter details the lives of IRA bombers Marian and Dolours Price and a major storyline is the abduction and murder of Jean McConville in 1972 , the first of the Disappeared . Earlier this month , the Belfast Telegraph reported how a republican came forward with new information he thinks will lead to the recovery of Columba McVeigh 's remains , one of the four remaining Disappeared . He volunteered the information after appeals made in the wake of Say Nothing . And last month remains believed to be those of former monk turned IRA man Joe Lynskey were recovered from a County Monaghan graveyard , though these have not been linked to the Disney+ series . The old adage ' smooth sailing ' could n't be applied to the Odyssey -- a 542ft-long cruise ship consisting of eight decks , 485 cabins and accommodating up to 650 residents -- which ended up spending an extended three-month stay in Belfast to a myriad of problems . Such was its series of set-backs , it attracted world-wide media attention giving rise to speculation that it was ' cursed ' -- a prospect only heightened by the fact that it was beginning its global journey in the same port that had built the Titanic . Many of Odyssey 's residents had sold their homes and cars to live aboard the ship as part of a world journey , visiting 147 countries and 425 destinations , all in just over three years . . Some residents took advantage of their extended break in the city , with two passengers -- Gian Perroni and Angela Harsanyi getting engaged after meeting as strangers on board , while two others -- Kat Cassingham and Dr Richard Namikas embarked on a 70-mile walking trek from Belfast to Derry to pass the time . Paris 2024 will go down as Northern Ireland 's best ever Olympics aslocal athletes picked upfour gold , one silver and two bronze medals . two bronzes , Swimmers Daniel Wiffen and Jack McMillan , rowers Rebecca Shorten , Hannah Scott and Philip Doyle and gymnast Rhys McClenaghan all had to make space in their luggage for some precious cargo . No athlete from Northern Ireland had won a gold medal since 1988 and no individual had claimed an Olympic title since Mary Peters in 1972 . Wiffen took top spot in the 800m freestyle final and bronze in the 1500m , sparking a fresh identity debate as people tried to work out whether Magheralin was in Armagh or Down . Representing Team Ireland , McClenaghan posted 15.533 to edge out Kazakhstan 's Nariman Kurbanov ( 15.433 ) on the pommel horse while Belfast 's McMillan was part of GB 's victorious 4 x 200m freestyle relay squad , in a time of 6:59:43 ahead of USA and Australia . Scott said there were ' no words ' after winning gold in the women 's quad sculls with Team GB , beating the Netherlands by just fifteen-hundredths of a second was the difference . When PSNI officers raided the home of Sir Jeffrey Donaldson on 28 March , he was at the peak of his political powers . The previous evening he 'd been at an ecumenical Easter concert in Parliament Buildings , where he was being congratulated for having masterminded the restoration of devolved government . He 'd faced down his critics , both internal and external , and -- it seemed -- won . That he 'd done so by misleading the public about the continued existence of an Irish Sea border he said the DUP would never accept was n't worrying too many of those who 'd desperately wanted to see devolution restored . For Donaldson , a man who from his youth had been immersed in unionist politics , this was the pinnacle . Within hours , the work of a lifetime was undone . No story this year combines the drama , the political significance , the legal seriousness and the public impact of Donaldson 's arrest , which within hours was followed by charges for multiple child sex offences . His wife , Lady Donaldson , was charged with assisting in some of the alleged crimes . Belfast Telegraph journalism is a lot more than reporting the news . It 's getting to the heart of the story , and it takes time , effort , and passion . This is what we have been doing in Northern Ireland for over 150 years , and this is what makes real stories worth paying for . To subscribe , go to **32;210;TOOLONG |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('the robot vacuum...irritate me out of working too late'). The verb 'irritate' fits into the category of verbs that arouse irritation (category c). The NP subject 'the robot vacuum' is an inanimate force, and the NP object 'me' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'working too late'. The interpretation is prevention ('by means of irritating, the robot vacuum prevents me from working too late'), which aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Ever since the pandemic , when so many people were cooped up , out of work or otherwise left to their own devices , I 've heard one word discussed more than ever : routine . Routine has long been a brick in the foundation of a " functioning society " , but it crumbled when the scaffolding of strict working hours , commutes and leisure activities such as gym attendance were removed . For many , the gradual return to work and reopening of public spaces was enough to reestablish normalcy -- but others have struggled , and I count myself among them . Now , I 'm all for living life unconventionally , and I 'm sure there 's a version of me who freelances or is a bohemian making art for a living -- but this version very much likes her job and the structure of a 9-5 . Of course , it would be no fun to just do it the old-fashioned way . That 's why I 've set out to use Alexa to guide me through automating some of the best smart home devices and best Alexa speakers to help me build some semblance of normalcy in my day-to-day life . And guess what ? It 's had a real impact . Want to follow along with me ? Check out our guide for how to set up an Alexa Routine or watch the video below to learn more about how automating smart home devices on Alexa works . How to set up Routines with Alexa : make the most Amazon Echo-based automations - YouTube However , it 's not an exclusively neurodiverse problem . Various disabilities , mental and chronic health conditions can impede one 's ability to build -- and stick to -- routines , as can living conditions such as shift work , a college lifestyle or parenthood . According to Adobe 's State of Work 2023 report , more than half of US workers ( 59% ) find it more difficult to maintain a positive work-life balance or stay on top of growing workloads , while a survey conducted by Acuity training found that less than 1 in 5 people ( 18% ) have a proper time management system .

Before knuckling down to lay out my automations , I spoke with Polly Miskiewicz , a Jungian Art Psychotherapist ( HCPC , MA ) and coach with more than 10 years of experience with neurodivergence -- both lived and professional -- to ask for some top tips . The benefits of routine , she explains , are wide-reaching : " Routines regulate our nervous system , especially for those of us who might experience heightened sensory or emotional overwhelm . Insights from ... Insights from ... Polly Miskiewicz Jungian Art Psychotherapist ( HCPC , MA ) Polly Miskiewicz is a Jungian Art Psychotherapist ( HCPC , MA ) and coach with over 10 years of experience . She helps self-curious and neurodivergent individuals rediscover comfort , explore their true selves , and build happier , more aligned lives through creativity , play , and somatic practices . " From a somatic perspective , predictable patterns in our day can calm the body , ease hyper-vigilance ( the always-on feeling ) , and help us feel more in control . " For our physical health , Miskiewicz explains routine as " a love letter to your body , " supporting better sleep , digestion , and energy regulation . She continues , " Mentally , routine does a ton of heavy lifting . It reduces the cognitive load , helping with executive functioning by taking repetitive decisions off the table . It acts as an anchor during times of uncertainty or big life transitions . Whether we 're adjusting to a new job , a diagnosis , or personal change , routines provide stability and a sense of continuity , helping us navigate what feels unfamiliar . " It 's not just a box-ticking exercise either , says Miskiewicz -- routines create little wins that build momentum : " These small habits do n't just help regulate emotions in the moment ; they contribute to long-term mental health by fostering ( healthy and maintainable ) levels of resilience and even a sense of accomplishment . " ( Image credit : Getty/Maria Korneeva ) So , if they 're so important and so good for us , why do so many people struggle to maintain a routine ? Miskiewicz says " From a psychological perspective , routines often fail because they 're not truly ours . They get tangled up in societal ' shoulds ' or the pressure to be ultra-productive , leaving us feeling disconnected or unmotivated to ever try again . " This resistance , she explains , ties into self-determination theory ( Deci & Ryan , 1985 ) , which shows that motivation thrives when we feel autonomy , competence , and connection . " If a routine does n't align with our values or feel like something we choose , it 's much harder ( or impossible ) to stick with it . " Where possible , the best thing we can do to build a routine according to Miskiewicz is : Do not aim for perfection : " Allow yourself to take a day off or forget what you were meant to do . " Plan tools not rules : " Routines should grow with you , not hold you back . " Plan for the body , not just the mind : " Build moments of regulation into your day : stretch , breathe , or find stillness to keep things somatically aligned . " With Miskiewicz ' top tips in mind , I went ahead to plan my smart home-assisted day . ( Image credit : Future ) Miskiewicz advises that your morning routine should " set the tone " for your day , suggesting activities like stretching , small tasks like making your bed or a fresh cup of coffee and enjoying some natural light ( tricky , here in the UK during winter ! ) to start you off . Easy enough , and especially so with my trusty fleet of Alexa-enabled devices and other smart home gadgets . Remembering what Miskiewicz had said about starting small , I focused on three achievable milestones outside of getting myself ready for the day : wake up to more natural light , have a cup of tea and clear up small messes . First up , let 's tackle natural light ; I reviewed the Philips Hue Twilight , a smart wake-up light , a few months ago , and it 's been a mainstay in my bedroom ever since . It 's Alexa-compatible , but the Philips Hue app offers more sophisticated controls , and in the end I actually used the native app instead of Alexa to set up my first automation . Talk about failing at the first hurdle . Regardless , my routine starts at 7:30AM when my Hue Twilight begins gradually increasing brightness through to its full Sunrise setting at 8AM , which is when Alexa kicks in with its morning regimen . ( Image credit : Future / Amazon ) Just as my alarm goes off at 8AM , my Amazon Echo Spot chimes in with a randomized morning greeting , and then I programmed the ' Wait ' function to give myself five minutes to lie in bed and pass through the various stages of grief following my recent awakening . Next up is making myself a cup of tea , for which task I have my Swan Alexa Kettle scheduled to kickstart at 8:05AM while I listen to Alexa 's flash news briefing and make my bed . On Wednesdays and Fridays , Alexa also reminds me to clean my floor , because it 's robot vacuum cleaner day . Then , Alexa waits a further 50 minutes which , depending on the length of my flash briefing , usually means she pipes up again around the time I move into my office . ? ? A recent study from Yale University shows clutter might actually have an impact on productivity , which Alexa reminds me of just before the workday begins , and then delivers a custom message asking : " Tell me when your calendar is open and I 'll remind you to stretch your legs . " Thus , my first task of the day when I log on to work is to pick a 20-minute window to stretch and move around , which I set up as a reminder with Alexa before cracking on with my morning . During work hours , I shy away from using Alexa 's Routine feature too much , as my job can often chop and change drastically throughout the day . However , I do run some simpler automations that help move the day along , or as Miskiewicz describes it , " keep the flow " . For instance , once at 11AM and once at 3PM , Alexa will ask me about my mood and if I have drunk enough water during the day , and will remind me when it 's time for lunch . Miskiewicz encourages recharging creatively as the day goes on by doing things like dancing or losing yourself in a podcast ; easily accomplished with a quick voice command and my smart speakers , too . There are also some automations that do n't come into play every day , and for good reason . Miskiewicz warns that " Tech can be a game-changer for building routines , but as a therapist I need to say -- it can also turn into too much of a good thing . " Ever found yourself drowning in reminders from five different apps or stuck scrolling between a million productivity tools ? That 's decision paralysis in action , and it 's exhausting . Constant notifications -- instant overwhelm . And when life gets messy ( because it always does ) , missing an app prompt can leave you feeling like you 've failed ( you did n't ) . " ( Image credit : Future / Canva ) Instead , I 've also set up custom automations triggered by me saying key phrases such as " I 'm struggling to focus " , which prompts Alexa to set a Pomodoro timer intermeshed with relaxing music for a five-minute break . That way , I 'm not beholden to aggressive reminders or push notifications , but rather can live in comfort that past Josie has present Josie 's back , and I have the option to initiate certain structures throughout my day . Some automations also happen only on specific days to keep things a bit more dynamic ; for instance , on Wednesdays and Fridays , the robot vacuum I alluded to earlier cleans up everywhere except my office during the morning while I work , and then barges in at 6PM to irritate me out of working too late . ( Image credit : Future / Amazon ) Miskiewicz ' advice for the evenings is to " unwind your way " . So , at 6:15PM , my next Alexa Routine kicks in , with the voice assistant encouraging me to set a to-do list for the evening . Normally , these are small tasks ; from wellness rituals like writing in my journal , to practicing Japanese on Duolingo , or just washing the dishes . The idea is that I can complete each of them in roughly 10 minutes and leave room for breaks in-between . Meanwhile , Alexa checks in between tasks until 7PM , when it 's time to cook dinner . Alongside this , all of my Alexa speakers play music from my relaxation playlist , and my Philips Hue lights transition to warmer , more comforting hues , following Miskiewicz ' advice to " give your senses a respite . " Increasingly , there are smaller smart devices like the smart diffuser I tried last year which can also be automated to help give some sensory reprise -- or you can just opt for one of the best smart plugs to remotely operate different fans , speakers and lighting setups . As the evening draws to a close , the unwinding continues ; an hour before my midnight bed time , my smart kettle once again brews to begin my evening herbal tea ritual , and while it steeps I know it 's time to start my skincare routine and relax . My smart lights gradually begin to dim , and all of the smart screens in my home are switched off just in time for me to get ready for bed . ( Image credit : Future / Made with Canva ) Overall , my time spent testing an Alexa-driven routine served its purpose and then some ; it helped me regulate much more effectively , with the knock-on benefit being a marked improvement in my mental health and productivity . However , the biggest learning of all was that self-regulation has to , at some point , take the fore . Alexa 's Routine function proved to be hugely beneficial as I got to grips with my new lifestyle , and definitely helped keep me on track for the first few weeks . However , it 's all too easy to pass accountability onto an app , a voice assistant , or even another person , and there are some clear drawbacks to depending on technology to manage your life -- a worrying realisation as we creep ever closer to a reality where AI does our thinking for us . As I noticed myself becoming less motivated and engaged with the routine , I slowly started to phase out some of Alexa 's more forceful interjections , focusing instead on time-based device automations such as screen power settings , smart light scenes and my tea rituals . And , would n't you know it , Miskiewicz ' advice aligns perfectly with my experience : " Bring on the tech ! Just do n't let your tech take over . Balance it out with moments away from screens , because sometimes a sticky note or a doodle on a napkin can work just as well as the fanciest app . " Great news , then , for the seven million notepads I 've accrued over the years . Whether you want to try habit-building apps , voice assistants or even smartphone features like iPhone Shortcuts to give you some tech-assisted structure , here 's my best advice ; go for it , but it 's a band-aid and not an end-all solution . Think of it as routine rehab until you 're ready to fly solo -- or , at least in my case , smart solo . Josephine Watson ( @JosieWatson ) is TechRadar 's Managing Editor - Lifestyle .

( Image credit : Future ) The Zwift Ride wants to take the effort out of going for a virtual ride using Zwift 's massively popular virtual training platform . Zwift is a gaming platform that connects to a turbo trainer ( for cyclists ) or a smart treadmill ( for runners ) and simulates real-life races using your own speed . It was primarily made for those who love to be on two wheels but is reliant on disconnecting a wheel from your outdoor bike and hooking it up to a turbo trainer , which people might not want to do due to all the extra work , or they may not want to drag a dirty bike into their living rooms . The Ride indoor cycling setup is a smart bike that gives you everything you need to get the best out of Zwift . It puts controls at your fingertips so you can navigate menus and change gears without moving from the bike frame , which is connected to a Wahoo Kickr Core smart trainer to deliver that more authentic riding feel . At $1,299.99 / ? 1,199.99 / AU$2,299.95 , the Ride is by no means cheap but does offer a simpler , indoor-friendly way to build a Zwift-friendly setup than tinkering with your regular bike . I spent some virtual riding time with the Zwift Ride to see if it 's going to upgrade your indoor cycling life . Image 1 of 5 ( Image credit : Future ) ( Image credit : Future ) ( Image credit : Future ) ( Image credit : Future ) ( Image credit : Future ) The Zwift Ride is essentially made up of three main parts . There 's a pretty sleek-looking , white metal bike frame , which connects to handlebars that host the built-in app controls . Lastly , there 's Wahoo 's Kickr Core smart trainer , which needs to be connected to the chain on the bike frame . The Kickr Core can automatically adjust resistance to replicate changes in terrain on your virtual riding routes . Those three components come in three individual boxes , with the one housing the Kickr Core the heaviest of the three . All the tools you 'll need are provided here , with an orange frame key taking care of most of the tightening and positioning jobs and can then be concealed in the underside of the bike frame . This makes it easier to grab if you need to adjust the seat or handlebars for another user in your household . As an indoor bike novice , I put aside an hour to put everything together and that was the right amount of time , with most of the setup here pretty straightforward and well explained in the instructions . The slightly tricky part was engaging the chain with the smart trainer and adjusting the handlebars , but other than that it was n't hard work to do this solo . All set up , the footprint of the Ride is 58cm ( 23 inches ) , wide and 136cm ( 53.5 inches ) long , and did n't take up as much floor space as anticipated . The Kickr Core provides most of the weight here and while relatively easy to shift around , you 're generally going to want to leave this in its place once you decide where you want it . You 'll need it near a plug socket to plug in the Kickr Core and the handlebar-based controllers are chargeable ( they offer up to 20 hours of battery life ) , another reason to position it closer to a set of plug sockets .

( Image credit : Future ) While it looks like a relatively small setup , the Ride is designed to fit riders measuring from 152cm up to 198cm . It 's also suitable for users with a maximum weight of 120kg . I 've got a pretty slim build and had no problems getting comfortable on the Ride frame or felt the need to make too many adjustments . Those adjustments include setting the handlebar distance from the frame and adjusting the seat height , with a height scale range here of 61cm up to 87cm . While it comes with more beginner-friendly flat pedals , those can be swapped out for road or mountain pedals . In terms of getting up and riding , you will of course need a Zwift subscription , which does kick you off with some free riding time , but then will cost you an additional $19.99 / ? 17.99 / AU$29.99 a month to make the most of Zwift Ride . While some of the Ride functionality will work with other virtual training platforms , all of the features available are optimized to work with Zwift 's app . Once everything is connected , it 's a case of launching the Zwift app , and when you get to the pairing sensor screen you can start connecting the turbo trainer over Bluetooth or ANT+ , while the handlebar controllers use Bluetooth . If you also want to add a Bluetooth heart rate monitor into the mix , you just need to make sure you 've got a device running Zwift that can handle those connections all at once , such as one of the best tablets or the best smart TVs . I was running Zwift on an Android tablet . While there 's a space on the bike frame to drop your phone onto , you need to pay an additional ? 39.99 for the tablet holder , which adds more cost . Thankfully , pairing and setup are pretty painless and then it 's time to ride . The first thing to get accustomed to is having those controls baked into the handlebars . First and foremost , they 're well-positioned to make them easy to reach . There are two sets of buttons on either side , which feel like a game controller . The ones on the left handle menus and the ones on the right are for selecting things on-screen , and going back a screen . There 's even a dedicated button to launch power-ups during rides . ( Image credit : Future ) In addition to those controls , some more discreet ones let you change gears virtually . There are two buttons on either side of the handlebars to take care of that with some customization available to tinker with the gear-changing setup . You also have controls at your disposal that let you steer left or right or brake , these sit slightly larger on the bars . It sounds like a lot to get used to , but once you 've got a few rides in , you start to get pretty quickly accustomed to everything available at your fingertips . As mentioned , the handlebar controllers are chargeable . There 's a port on both sides and an accompanying cable that connects via USB , but you 'll need to have your own power supply to plug it into . In terms of the riding experience , I 'm happy to say it 's a pretty smooth one in general . Elements like gear shifting do n't feel labored , and it 's nice to be able to control steering and not have to reach over to a touchscreen to move through menus either . The overall noise of riding , while not whisper-quiet , is n't so excruciatingly loud that you 're going to annoy your neighbors when you 're pedaling hard . I had some concerns about having to connect multiple devices at once to one device running the Zwift software , but thankfully that was n't an issue and I did n't experience any irritating dropouts from the Ride 's components . No , the controls do n't scream authentic bike controls , but for someone who 's not a seasoned Zwift user , I understand the approach and it helps to make it a much less daunting setup to ride with . ( Image credit : Future ) As someone whose main sporting love does n't lie with cycling ( running is my discipline of choice ) , but does like to throw in some indoor cycling time to mix things up , I enjoyed my time on the Zwift Ride . It takes the effort of trying to piece a similar setup together that might end up costing more in the process and makes it much easier to want to jump into that Zwift world and go for a ride . In my eyes , it 's absolutely an indoor cycling setup that has beginners and newcomers in mind and I do n't think there 's anything wrong with that . I do still think more experienced indoor riders will enjoy the experience too , appreciate the price point , and be largely happy on the performance and accuracy front . The lack of full support for virtual cycling training platforms outside of Zwift may be a stumbling block for some , you will need to commit to that Zwift subscription and I 'd suggest grabbing a tablet holder as well . The Zwift software is slick and if you 're trying to get into indoor riding , whether to get fit or to join other riders for a more social riding experience , the Ride can definitely make the decision of going for a virtual ride a much easier one .

( Image credit : Future ) The Zwift Ride wants to take the effort out of going for a virtual ride using Zwift 's massively popular virtual training platform . Zwift is a gaming platform that connects to a turbo trainer ( for cyclists ) or a smart treadmill ( for runners ) and simulates real-life races using your own speed . It was primarily made for those who love to be on two wheels but is reliant on disconnecting a wheel from your outdoor bike and hooking it up to a turbo trainer , which people might not want to do due to all the extra work , or they may not want to drag a dirty bike into their living rooms . The Ride indoor cycling setup is a smart bike that gives you everything you need to get the best out of Zwift . It puts controls at your fingertips so you can navigate menus and change gears without moving from the bike frame , which is connected to a Wahoo Kickr Core smart trainer to deliver that more authentic riding feel . At $1,299.99 / ? 1,199.99 / AU$2,299.95 , the Ride is by no means cheap but does offer a simpler , indoor-friendly way to build a Zwift-friendly setup than tinkering with your regular bike . I spent some virtual riding time with the Zwift Ride to see if it 's going to upgrade your indoor cycling life . Image 1 of 5 ( Image credit : Future ) ( Image credit : Future ) ( Image credit : Future ) ( Image credit : Future ) ( Image credit : Future ) The Zwift Ride is essentially made up of three main parts . There 's a pretty sleek-looking , white metal bike frame , which connects to handlebars that host the built-in app controls . Lastly , there 's Wahoo 's Kickr Core smart trainer , which needs to be connected to the chain on the bike frame . The Kickr Core can automatically adjust resistance to replicate changes in terrain on your virtual riding routes . Those three components come in three individual boxes , with the one housing the Kickr Core the heaviest of the three . All the tools you 'll need are provided here , with an orange frame key taking care of most of the tightening and positioning jobs and can then be concealed in the underside of the bike frame . This makes it easier to grab if you need to adjust the seat or handlebars for another user in your household . As an indoor bike novice , I put aside an hour to put everything together and that was the right amount of time , with most of the setup here pretty straightforward and well explained in the instructions . The slightly tricky part was engaging the chain with the smart trainer and adjusting the handlebars , but other than that it was n't hard work to do this solo . All set up , the footprint of the Ride is 58cm ( 23 inches ) , wide and 136cm ( 53.5 inches ) long , and did n't take up as much floor space as anticipated . The Kickr Core provides most of the weight here and while relatively easy to shift around , you 're generally going to want to leave this in its place once you decide where you want it . You 'll need it near a plug socket to plug in the Kickr Core and the handlebar-based controllers are chargeable ( they offer up to 20 hours of battery life ) , another reason to position it closer to a set of plug sockets .

( Image credit : Future ) While it looks like a relatively small setup , the Ride is designed to fit riders measuring from 152cm up to 198cm . It 's also suitable for users with a maximum weight of 120kg . I 've got a pretty slim build and had no problems getting comfortable on the Ride frame or felt the need to make too many adjustments . Those adjustments include setting the handlebar distance from the frame and adjusting the seat height , with a height scale range here of 61cm up to 87cm . While it comes with more beginner-friendly flat pedals , those can be swapped out for road or mountain pedals . In terms of getting up and riding , you will of course need a Zwift subscription , which does kick you off with some free riding time , but then will cost you an additional $19.99 / ? 17.99 / AU$29.99 a month to make the most of Zwift Ride . While some of the Ride functionality will work with other virtual training platforms , all of the features available are optimized to work with Zwift 's app . Once everything is connected , it 's a case of launching the Zwift app , and when you get to the pairing sensor screen you can start connecting the turbo trainer over Bluetooth or ANT+ , while the handlebar controllers use Bluetooth . If you also want to add a Bluetooth heart rate monitor into the mix , you just need to make sure you 've got a device running Zwift that can handle those connections all at once , such as one of the best tablets or the best smart TVs . I was running Zwift on an Android tablet . While there 's a space on the bike frame to drop your phone onto , you need to pay an additional ? 39.99 for the tablet holder , which adds more cost . Thankfully , pairing and setup are pretty painless and then it 's time to ride . The first thing to get accustomed to is having those controls baked into the handlebars . First and foremost , they 're well-positioned to make them easy to reach . There are two sets of buttons on either side , which feel like a game controller . The ones on the left handle menus and the ones on the right are for selecting things on-screen , and going back a screen . There 's even a dedicated button to launch power-ups during rides . ( Image credit : Future ) In addition to those controls , some more discreet ones let you change gears virtually . There are two buttons on either side of the handlebars to take care of that with some customization available to tinker with the gear-changing setup . You also have controls at your disposal that let you steer left or right or brake , these sit slightly larger on the bars . It sounds like a lot to get used to , but once you 've got a few rides in , you start to get pretty quickly accustomed to everything available at your fingertips . As mentioned , the handlebar controllers are chargeable . There 's a port on both sides and an accompanying cable that connects via USB , but you 'll need to have your own power supply to plug it into . In terms of the riding experience , I 'm happy to say it 's a pretty smooth one in general . Elements like gear shifting do n't feel labored , and it 's nice to be able to control steering and not have to reach over to a touchscreen to move through menus either . The overall noise of riding , while not whisper-quiet , is n't so excruciatingly loud that you 're going to annoy your neighbors when you 're pedaling hard . I had some concerns about having to connect multiple devices at once to one device running the Zwift software , but thankfully that was n't an issue and I did n't experience any irritating dropouts from the Ride 's components . No , the controls do n't scream authentic bike controls , but for someone who 's not a seasoned Zwift user , I understand the approach and it helps to make it a much less daunting setup to ride with . ( Image credit : Future ) As someone whose main sporting love does n't lie with cycling ( running is my discipline of choice ) , but does like to throw in some indoor cycling time to mix things up , I enjoyed my time on the Zwift Ride . It takes the effort of trying to piece a similar setup together that might end up costing more in the process and makes it much easier to want to jump into that Zwift world and go for a ride . In my eyes , it 's absolutely an indoor cycling setup that has beginners and newcomers in mind and I do n't think there 's anything wrong with that . I do still think more experienced indoor riders will enjoy the experience too , appreciate the price point , and be largely happy on the performance and accuracy front . The lack of full support for virtual cycling training platforms outside of Zwift may be a stumbling block for some , you will need to commit to that Zwift subscription and I 'd suggest grabbing a tablet holder as well . The Zwift software is slick and if you 're trying to get into indoor riding , whether to get fit or to join other riders for a more social riding experience , the Ride can definitely make the decision of going for a virtual ride a much easier one .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'make a profit out of caring for kids' involves the verb 'make' with 'a profit' as its object and 'out of caring for kids' as a prepositional phrase indicating the source of the profit.

Margaret Qualley has revealed why shooting The Substance was ' really hard ' for her and the one part of filming which gave her ' anxiety ' . The American actress , 30 , starred alongside Demi Moore in the horror satire movie , which has seen her nominated for best supporting actress at the Golden Globes . The film sees aerobics TV host Elisabeth Sparkle ( Demi ) take a mysterious anti-ageing medication that will allow her to inhabit a younger body ( played by Margaret ) , but with some sickening side effects . Despite the sci-fi movie rising to critical acclaim , Margaret has confessed filming was n't always plain-sailing as she discussed some of the challenges of the role . Speaking to Vogue Australia , Margaret revealed filming The Substance was ' really hard ' because there was little room for imperfections and was highly-scripted . Though the film aims to tackle the issue of impossible Hollywood beauty standards , Margaret said the process of filming itself was very ' precise ' . Margaret Qualley has revealed why shooting The Substance was ' really hard ' for her and the one part of filming which gave her ' anxiety ' Speaking to Vogue Australia , Margaret revealed filming The Substance was ' really hard ' because there was little room for imperfections and was highly-scripted ' It was very challenging to shoot because I get a lot of joy out of free-falling , out of the feeling that anything could happen at any moment . ' Margaret said she chose acting as a profession because she could improvise and make mistakes in a huge step away from her teenage years competing in dance competitions , where everything had to be perfect . While shooting The Substance , Margaret wore prosthetics in the film 's gory third act and had to sit in the make-up chair for six hours every day while they were applied , a process she said gave her ' anxiety ' . She said her husband Jack Antonoff , who proposed to her during filming , would call her every day to check in on her and said she was grateful to have him there for support . ' I would stay up all night dreading the prosthetics , ' she admitted . ' I would have such anxiety about it ... Jack was calling me to check in , because those were trying times . ' The Substance made waves with its very quirky plot and Margaret is no stranger to starring in unique projects , having made a name for herself in the indie movie sphere . She took on equally quirky roles in Yorgos Lanthimos ' two latest releases Poor Things and Kinds of Kindness , both of which also starred Emma Stone . The film sees TV host Elisabeth Sparkle ( Demi Moore ) take an anti-ageing medication that will allow her to inhabit a younger body ( played by Margaret ) , but with some sickening side effects She said she was grateful to have a ' romantic forcefield ' of support from her husband Jack Antonoff ( both pictured ) , who proposed to her during filming , amid the challenging time However , Margaret hinted she could be leaving ' arty ' movies behind her and is lining up a move into more mainstream films with her eye on a rom-com . Though she is well-known for taking on unique and obscure roles , Margaret insisted she actually has no interest in watching those types of movies herself . ' I 've been in a lot of obscure , arty movies , and they 're not actually the movies I like to watch , and I think I wan na start being in stuff that I would wan na watch , ' she confessed . Instead , she wants to work with filmmaker Richard Curtis , who was behind Four Weddings and a Funeral - which helped her mother Andie MacDowell become a household name . Though shooting The Substance may have been difficult at times , Margaret 's hard work certainly paid off as she has been nominated for a Golden Globe . In the best supporting actress category , she is up against Ariana Grande for Wicked , Selena Gomez for Emilia P ? rez , Felicity Jones for The Brutalist , Isabella Rossellini for Conclave and Zoe Salda ? a for Emilia P ? rez . Leading star Demi has also received a nod for best actress alongside the likes of Amy Adams , Cynthia Erivo , Karla Sof ? a Gasc ? n , Mikey Madison and Zendaya . The Substance has also been nominated in the lauded best film category while filmmaker Coralie Fargeat is up for best director and best screenplay . Demi has got some of the best reviews of her career for The Substance and has been nominated for best actress at the 2025 Golden Globes Demi has got some of the best reviews of her career for The Substance , in which she plays a former Oscar winner named Elisabeth Sparkle who hosts a popular aerobics TV show . After she turns 50 , Elisabeth is dumped from her series by her piggish boss Harvey ( Dennis Quaid ) , even though her younger replacement has n't been secured yet . She finds a way around ageing after she learns of a mysterious medication -- ' the Substance ' -- that will allow her to inhabit a much younger body ( Margaret ) . But the two bodies have to take turns using their bodies , and when they inevitably overstay their turns , both suffer stomach-churning side effects that have left some audience members rushing out of theatres in fits of nausea. |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'priced out of sending their children to private schools' involves 'priced out of' followed by a gerund phrase, but the subject 'who' (referring to 'pushy middle-class parents') is not causing an action on an object through a specific means as required by the construction. Instead, it describes a situation where parents are unable to afford private schooling due to pricing, lacking the causative element and specific means of action characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The education secretary has said middle-class parents support her policy of imposing VAT of 20 per cent on private school fees . Speaking before the policy takes effect on Wednesday , Bridget Phillipson said she would be " the voice of pushy middle-class parents " who had been priced out of sending their children to private schools , and would " demand better from state schools " . Parents have been hit by the cost of living crisis and rapid rises in private school fees , which mean many boarding schools charge more than ? 50,000 a year . Many parents wanted more investment in state schools , which 94 per cent of children attend , she said . " Middle-class parents have largely been priced out of private schools and it 's why there is such support for our policy of ending the tax breaks that private schools enjoy to invest in state education , " Phillipson said . She said she had received abuse about the policy " from people who really should know better " , with some calling her a " bitch " and a " harridan " , but added : " I 'll wear that as a badge of honour if it means that we drive up standards in state schools and invest in better life chances for our children . " Phillipson said the average fee for children going to private school had reached about ? 18,000 a year . " That is a considerable sum . " This amount , which parents must pay out of post-tax income , was " way beyond the means of the majority of parents in our country and certainly way beyond the means of the majority of people that I represent in Houghton & Sunderland South " . Phillipson said : " Middle-class parents in good professional jobs with housing costs just ca n't afford that level of fee and they want brilliant state schools . This policy allows us to raise more money to invest in what really matters for families . " The government estimates it will raise ? 460 million in 2024-25 in extra VAT , rising to ? 1.7 billion a year by 2029-30 , which it says will fund 6,500 more state teachers . The extra money will also be spent on mental health support for children . There are concerns that children , stuck at home for months during the pandemic after schools were shut , are suffering problems including delayed speech , chronic absenteeism and screen addiction . There is also a relaxed attitude among some parents about making their children attend school every day . On a visit to a nursery school -- part of a primary school -- Phillipson said she was surprised when the teacher pointed out how quiet it was because the children were not chatting to one another as they would have done in the past . Despite a 75 per cent rise in average real-term school fees since 2000 , the number of pupils in private schools has remained steady at about 600,000 , according to the Department for Education ( DfE ) . Of those , 51.3 per cent of pupils are boys and 48.7 per cent are girls . The DfE forecasts that the VAT change will result in 37,000 fewer pupils in private schools , a fall of about 6 per cent . This includes 35,000 who will move to state schools , with some of the rest being homeschooled . Rejecting claims that Whitehall was braced for a surge in demand for state school places because of private schools going bankrupt or closing , Phillipson accused the private schools lobby of " scaremongering " . She said : " Our schools have been able to accept and support significant numbers of children from Ukraine and Hong Kong , and have done so brilliantly with no adverse outcomes . We 're actually in a situation where we 've got a falling birthrate . There will be a need for fewer school places into the future anyway . So our state system is more than able to accommodate this . " The government had predicted fees would rise by only 10 per cent because schools would absorb the rest , but some are adding the full 20 per cent . The size of increases varies wildly across the country as schools try to balance their budgets and the risk of losing parents if they raise fees too high . Queen Ethelburga 's , near York , will increase fees by 3 per cent to ? 13,825 per term for sixth-form boarders , while Westminster School has told its parents it will be raising fees by 20 per cent to as much as ? 20,995 per term for boarders aged 13 and over . Phillipson criticised the decision by some private schools to pass on the full 20 per cent cost to parents . They include Eton , which will cost ? 63,000-plus a year . The DFE has said schools will be able to reclaim VAT paid on capital projects and educational supplies , meaning many will be liable for 15 per cent VAT . Phillipson said : " There 's no good reason why they should be passing on the full cost to parents . In many cases , they 'll be reclaiming some of that cost anyway . " But alongside that , private schools , year after year , have whacked up their fees way beyond inflation . Of course , they are free to do so , but I think a lot of parents will want answers about why they 've consistently done that . " On a visit to a school this month , Phillipson said she was educated at a Catholic comprehensive school in Sunderland , adding : " My mum brought me up on her own and it was quite tough in the local area . Things were n't wonderful but education was very important to us as a family . " I see it as my job to make sure that all young people , whatever their background , should have every chance of success . I want to break that link so the family that you 're born into , the place you 're born into , does n't determine what you can go on to achieve . " Phillipson in her youth , when she attended a Catholic comprehensive in Sunderland COURTESY OF BRIDGET PHILLIPSON Phillipson went on to read history and modern languages at Oxford . She was joined on the school visit by Rachel Reeves , the chancellor , who told pupils she had joined the Labour Party as a sixth former when she saw how underfunded her own south London school was , with " never enough textbooks to go around " . Reeves took a PPE degree at Oxford . Rachel Reeves as a schoolgirl and , below , a graduate " I felt very strongly that girls -- I went to a girls ' school Cator Park School for Girls in Beckenham , southeast London -- at my school deserved as much opportunity as children who came from a privileged background , " she said . " I got involved in local politics to try to change things and so , yes , I want to help everybody in society , but I am clear about who I came into politics to support . " The Independent Schools Council said its members were " in an extremely challenging position " owing to VAT and other new costs , including the increase in national insurance paid by employers and the removal of charitable relief on private school business rates from April . A spokesman for Westminster School expressed its " great disappointment in the government 's plans to apply a consumer tax to the provision of education " . The Carrdus School , near Banbury , Oxfordshire , confirmed this month that it would close in July next year owing to increased cost pressures , including VAT and national insurance increases for employers . In a statement from the school 's governors , posted on its website , it said : " The introduction of VAT on independent school fees mid academic year , further compounded by the loss of charitable business rates relief and the increase in employers ' national insurance contributions , has put a great deal of pressure on parents and schools . " Consequently , a number of Carrdus parents have been left with no alternative option but to give notice to withdraw their child from the school either at the end of the autumn term , or at the end of the academic year . " Alison Darling , chair of governors at the school , added : " We have not been able to simply absorb these financial pressures , as the government had suggested we should . " Thomas 's School in Battersea , which was previously attended by Prince George and Princess Charlotte , will pass on a 12.6 per cent fee , rising to up to ? 10,450 a term .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'get the most out of styling it', which is a different construction where 'out of' is part of a phrasal verb indicating benefit or result, not the transitive out of -ing construction.

We take a closer look at the tools and trends set to make it big in the new year When you purchase through links on our site , we may earn an affiliate commission . Here 's how it works . ( Image credit : Future / L'Oreal ) From heatless curls to wet-to-dry stylers , 2024 was the year of healthy hair and getting maximum impact with minimum effort . Technology played a big part thanks to smart , versatile tools like the GHD Duet Style and AI-powered personalization , while products like the Dyson Supersonic Nural shone a spotlight on the importance of looking after your scalp . Style-wise , icy blondes , fiery reds , ' 60s-style blowouts inspired by Sabrina Carpenter and a continued love for textured waves proved popular . And ingredients like glycolic acid , collagen , ceramides and even mushrooms made their way into more and more haircare products . As we look to 2025 , this focus on hair health is set to stay . Stylers and services will become even smarter , and tailored to our individual hair needs , while the release of infrared dryers will ramp up following launches from Zuvi and L'Oreal . To learn more about these hair trends , I 've spoken to Bellissima 's Assunta Trano and T3 's Jen Ju as well as celebrity and award-winning stylists Jay Birmingham , Neil Moodie Studio , and Heather King from ENA Salon , London . Plus I 've thrown in a few of my own predictions as someone who 's been reviewing the best hair dryers and the best straighteners ( amongst other hair gadgets and products ) for almost a decade . Let 's take a look at the hottest hair trends set to take off in 2025 ... A handful of infrared hair dryers have made their way to market over the past few years but following the launch of L'Oreal Professional 's AirLight Pro in November , expect to see this technology take over styling world in a much bigger way in 2025 . Unlike traditional dryers that use heat and airflow to evaporate water from the surface of your hair , infrared dryers work by penetrating your hair shaft with gentle radiant heat , effectively drying your hair from the inside out . This not only protects your hair 's natural moisture and minimizes frizz , but it helps reduce the risk of heat damage without sacrificing drying speeds . ( Image credit : Loreal ) Far from it , in fact -- L'Oreal Professional and Zuvi , two of the biggest brands to have launched infrared dryers recently , claim the technology can cut drying times by more than a fifth . These stylers also come with ionic technology , which smooth the hair cuticle and neutralizes static , helping to add to the sleek and shiny finish . Sign up for breaking news , reviews , opinion , top tech deals , and more . Contact me with news and offers from other Future brandsReceive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsorsBy submitting your information you agree to the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over . In a similar vein , hair health generally -- whether it 's through infrared technologies , or heatless styling , science-backed products or just a greater awareness -- is set to dominate in 2025 and beyond . " Over the past few years , we 've seen consumers become more conscious about the damage they 're doing to their hair , " says Assunta Trano , Marketing Director at Bellissima . " This has seen trends such as heatless curls emerge as we try to limit the damage we 're doing to our hair while still trying to get the most out of styling it . Heat styling has had to follow suit and , in 2025 , will emphasize safety and hair protection . " ( Image credit : Bellissima ) Bellissima recently released its Prodigy Air Styler with Coanda technology , which generates 200 micro-flows of air to create waves and curls gently , with less heat . All T3 dryers now have SoftAire Technology built-in , which uses a wider , gentle air stream with ions to protect the natural moisture in hair , while more brands are introducing lamellar technology to their products to leave hair looking and feeling healthy . The term ' lamellar ' refers to the thin , liquid layers ( or lamellae ) that form when these products are applied to the hair . These layers contain conditioning agents , amino acids , and moisturizing ingredients that bond to damaged areas of the hair cuticle , leaving it looking shiny and feeling healthy . And at the heart of this healthy hair trend is the sub-trend of scalp-first tools and products . " Your scalp is the real MVP of healthy hair , and 2025 is all about giving it the love it deserves , " says celebrity hair stylist , Jay Birmingham . " People are ' skinifying ' their hair routines because a healthy scalp equals fabulous hair . " The fragrance boom of 2024 , fueled by ' perfume tok ' and the rise of designer dupes , is set to go a step further into hair in 2025 . Unlike traditional perfumes , which often contain alcohol and can dry out strands , hair perfumes are specifically formulated to condition and smooth the hair while making it smell nice . As stylist King explains : " Hair scents are becoming a way to express individuality , just like regular perfumes , while offering functional benefits . " This trend is part of a wider movement that is seeing haircare moving further into the beauty space . At the same time , hair scents reflect a growing focus on multi-purpose products : they condition , control frizz , and leave hair shiny -- all while smelling good . " The number one hair health concern among consumers is hair loss and thinning hair , " according to Jen Ju , Marketing Director at T3 . " We 've seen supplements and scalp products become popular , and haircare and hair tool brands are now prioritizing minimizing heat and including features like timers and auto-pause to help address this concern . " LLLT devices use red or near-infrared light to stimulate hair follicles , increase bloodflow , and encourage your hair to grow . Many are hands-free , meaning you can wear them as you go about your day -- although maybe not to the store ! -- and with consistent use a few times a week , they 've been shown to improve hair density and thickness ( as per this 2013 study and this 2021 study ) . Microcurrent devices instead use low-level electrical currents to stimulate the scalp and hair follicles . This also helps promote circulation and boosting follicle health in a similar way to LLLT products but the results typically take a little longer , which is why these products tend to be cheaper . At the cheaper end of the price spectrum are physical scalp massagers and LED combs . These work in the same way , in terms of promoting circulation , but at a much lower level . That said , pairing any of these tools with scalp serums , probiotics , and treatments can help speed up the results , and this whole trend is part of the recent ' skinification ' of haircare in which more of us realize we need to treat the skin on our scalp in the same way we treat the skin on our face . Haircare has n't escaped the AI boom and in 2025 , smart apps , AI-powered devices and customized products will help us all understand our hair on a much deeper level . From analyzing moisture levels , porosity , and scalp condition , to crafting hyper-specific routines that address our individual need , AI is making waves in the haircare space . " AI is turning bathrooms into personal labs , and consumers love beauty that ' gets ' them , " continues stylist Birmingham . This shift reflects a wider demand for precision and performance in beauty products , with generic shampoos and conditioners are being replaced with data-driven , customized formulas tailored to specific goals , like hydration , volume , or damage repair . " Curly hair , specifically , faces issues like dryness , frizz , and shrinkage and consumers are constantly looking for targeted solutions that enhance their natural curls while keeping them healthy , " adds Trano . The Dyson Supersonic Nural has a two-part diffuser , with a bowl-shaped part for defining curls ( Image credit : Future ) " We 've seen this trend developing with the rise of curl-specific haircare brands and tools that have features like gentle airflows and advanced diffusers that maintain curl shape and reduce frizz . The growing focus on curly hair technology and products shows how the industry is moving towards becoming more inclusive and offering customized solutions . " This includes brands like Function of Beauty , which creates custom shampoo , conditioner and hair mask formulas based on your answers to an online quiz about your hair type , goals , fragrance and even color . Prose offers a similar customized approach , using an in-depth consultation and AI to also consider lifestyle , location -- to determine humidity , and pollution levels -- and individual hair characteristics to create hyper-personalized products . Function of Beauty asks you to fill out a quiz to determine the right products for you ( Image credit : Function of Beauty ) Elsewhere , brands are increasingly adding AI-powered smart sensors across their ranges that automatically monitor and adapt heat and airflow based on real-time hair diagnostics . GHD 's most recent stylers , including the GHD Chronos and Duet Style , constantly monitor the temperature using sensors fitted throughout their ceramic plates . This means they know the angle and speed at which you 're using the styler , and will adjust the heat to deliver faster performance . Elsewhere , the L'Oreal AirLight Pro 's settings can be controlled and personalized in an app . In 2025 , such sensors and app-powered controls will become more intelligent , and more commonplace being able to automatically make adjustments to actively improve your hair , not just prevent damage . Neil Moodie Studio predicts that modern versions of the ' 90s-inspired ' Rachel ' cut -- which involves layers and face-framing , inspired by Rachel Green 's iconic cut in Friends -- is set to make a comeback . " Expect 2025 to be a year of self-expression through sharp cuts , bold layers , and statement colours , " the stylist says . Victoria Woollaston is a freelance science and technology journalist with more than a decade 's experience writing for Wired UK , Alphr , Expert Reviews , TechRadar , Shortlist and the Sunday Times . She has a keen interest in next-generation technology and its potential to revolutionise how we live and work . |

The sentence 'Several fans flooded the comment section with anger, with some claiming they've been priced out of attending.' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Here, 'they' (NP subject) + 'have been priced' (V1) + 'out of attending' (VP2[-ing] predicate) with 'some' as the NP object. It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the fans are prevented from attending due to being priced out. The verb 'priced' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically'. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence 'Several fans flooded the comment section with anger, with some claiming they've been priced out of attending.' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Here, 'they' (fans) are the NP object, 'priced' is the V1, and 'attending' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. The interpretation is prevention (fans are prevented from attending due to being priced out), and the NP object 'they' functions as a causee. This aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks a VP2[-ing] predicate and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a relationship made out of nothing, which does not align with the transitive out of -ing construction.

HBO As the final season of the HBO adaptation of Elena Ferrante 's Neapolitan novels begins this week , why has the show not received the plaudits -- and the viewership -- it deserves ? Few novels have inspired as much devotion in recent years as those of the Italian writer , Elena Ferrante -- specifically , the author 's Neapolitan quartet , which follows the lives of two childhood friends across six decades and four books , turning the intimate into an epic . Originally published between 2011 and 2015 , the four books sparked " Ferrante fever " , with millions of readers all over the world falling under the spell of Elena ( also known as Len ? ) and her " dazzling , terrible " friend Lila . Ferrante -- whose identity famously remains a mystery -- tackles themes of friendship , desire , motherhood , misogyny , ambition , class and violence , all in unsparing detail , and against the backdrop of a changing Italy . This summer , the first book in the series , My Brilliant Friend , was voted the best book of the 21st Century in a poll by The New York Times , which described it as an " uncompromising , unforgettable novel " . By comparison , the TV adaptation of My Brilliant Friend has flown slightly under the radar . The show , which first aired in 2018 and starts its fourth and final season this week , has n't attracted the same column inches as other HBO dramas ( the network co-produce the series with Italian broadcaster Rai ) , despite its much-loved source material , cinematic production values and epic scope . It has not swept awards shows , and is often missing from round-ups of the best prestige television ( it failed to make the cut of BBC Culture 's own greatest TV series of the 21st Century poll in 2021 ) . Yet , much as those who love Ferrante 's books do so feverishly , the show has amassed an equally devout army of fans . " Why is it not widely acknowledged to be the best show on TV ? " asked author and journalist Taffy Brodesser-Akner on X recently , echoing the sentiments of many who believe it to be criminally underrated . It brings Ferrante 's world to life brilliantly and is as complex , gripping and immersive as the novels , while also being one of the best-looking series on television . When the news first broke that there was to be a TV adaptation of Ferrante 's Neapolitan novels , expectations were high -- but so was trepidation . Here were books loved for their interiority , their emotional nuance , for how deeply they explored complicated feelings . Language is integral to the books : when the two young girls secure a copy of Louisa May Alcott 's Little Women early in the first novel , it sparks a realisation that education and books could be a way out for them . How would a story so deeply attached to the power of the written word translate to the television ? To carry on a friendship for a lifetime is a full-time job , because you have to deal with your weakest parts , with envy , with love , but also with hate . There are no rules in friendship -- Saverio Costanzo Series creator Saverio Costanzo , who directed the first two seasons and remains co-writer and executive producer on the rest , knew all too well how difficult it was to bring beloved books to the screen . His 2010 film The Solitude of Prime Numbers was based on a novel by Paolo Giordano , which won Italy 's prestigious Strega Prize . " It was n't very successful because my point of view of the book was different to the majority of the readers of the book , " he tells the BBC . " So I promised myself not to adapt another bestseller . " Coincidentally , a few years before that , he had attempted to adapt Ferrante 's novel The Lost Daughter . Ferrante granted him the rights temporarily , giving him six months to try and produce a script -- but Costanzo could n't find a way to make the story , which is told partly in flashbacks , work ( Maggie Gyllenhaal would later go on to turn the book into a film starring Olivia Colman ) . Years later , out of the blue , Costanzo was in his kitchen when he got a call from Ferrante 's publishers about a new project : turning My Brilliant Friend and the rest of her Neapolitan novels into a television series . Despite his reservations about working with well-known source material , it was too good an opportunity to turn down . " I reread the books from the beginning and I felt so much into them , " he says . " I felt as a reader the same as so many readers around the world . " Like many , Costanzo connected to how deeply Ferrante explored friendship , refusing to sentimentalise it , but showing how complicated , competitive and even cruel those bonds can be -- and how much they shape our lives . " Friendship is the most free relationship that we experience in our life , " says Costanzo . " It 's a relationship made out of nothing , just will . It 's pure and yet also dangerous . To carry on a friendship for a lifetime is a full-time job , because you have to deal with your weakest parts , with envy , with love , but also with hate . There are no rules in friendship . " HBO The novels -- and TV series -- focus on the friendship between Elena " Len ? " Greco , the books ' narrator , and Raffaella " Lila " Cerullo ( Credit : HBO ) With the friendship between Elena " Len ? " Greco , the books ' narrator , and Raffaella " Lila " Cerullo , the beating heart of the story , finding the right actresses for the roles was vital . The audition process was lengthy , with Costanzo and his team seeing over 9000 potentials over eight months . " The characters were so clear in Ferrante 's writing , that you could n't miss them , " says Costanzo . " Once I was looking for them , I was like , I know if I meet Lila or Elena , I will recognise them . " He found them in Elisa Del Genio and Ludovica Nasti , who played the girls as young children , then in Margherita Mazzucco and Gaia Girace , who took over after two episodes . Mazzucco and Girace stayed until the end of season three , playing the women into their 30s , despite still being teenagers themselves . In this new season , new faces step into the roles -- Alba Rohrwacher ( sister of film director Alice Rohrwacher -- who directed two episodes in season two ) as Elena , and Irene Maiorino ( previously in Gomorrah ) as Lila . Maiorino bears a striking resemblance to her predecessor Girace . Rohrwacher less so to Mazzucco -- but viewers will certainly recognise her voice , as she has been the narrator of the show since the start . Besides the two women , the series has a gigantic cast of supporting characters . Many of these have also been recast throughout the seasons -- but physical similarities were n't the guiding factor . " Sometimes we were lucky , " says Costanzo . " Sometimes we went just for the soul of the character . " Just as crucial as the casting was bringing to life the Naples neighbourhood in which the girls grow up . " The neighbourhood is a character as much as Elena and Lila , " says Costanzo . " We wanted to show through the evolution of it the way Italy has changed . " It 's widely believed Ferrante based the neighbourhood in her book on the real-life area of Rione Luzzatti , a working-class district to the east of the city centre that has now become an unlikely tourist spot , thanks to Ferrante fans . In the show , the neighbourhood is an elaborately constructed set - one of the biggest ever created in Europe . Built on the site of an abandoned glass factory , 45 minutes outside of Naples , it covers 215,000 sq ft ( 19,974 sq m ) and , just as it would have in real life , it has changed throughout the seasons . In the first , it feels claustrophobic , grey and insular . When Elena and Lila are children , it is their entire universe , so much so that they do n't even see the sea until they are older . " In the 1950s it was a disconnected neighbourhood outside of the city , " says Costanzo . " And then slowly people start to build and the city becomes closer and closer to the neighbourhood . " HBO The series follows the trajectory of Italy over the course of many decades , along with the lives of the two girls ( Credit : HBO ) It 's a neighbourhood marked by poverty , violence and organised crime ( this is n't a story explicitly about the Mafia , but their presence is often felt ) . As the women get older , their world gradually opens up -- though for one more than the other -- but the neighbourhood continues to shape their lives . In My Brilliant Friend , the personal is the political , and the trajectory of the girls ' lives is entwined with that of Italy as a nation . Events such as the economic boom and student protests of the 1960s , the bloody battle between the communist and fascist movements , radical feminism , the legalisation of divorce , and -- in the new season -- widespread government corruption , all feed into Len ? and Lila 's experiences . " The political background behind the story of Lila and Elena , it is the real engine , " says Costanzo . My Brilliant Friend was the first foreign-language series to ever premiere on HBO . The show is n't just in Italian -- there are large chunks in Neapolitan dialect , meaning even viewers in Italy need subtitles . The intricacies of speech are important . Neapolitan is the language of the neighbourhood , while Italian represents a life beyond it . Of course , these subtle shifts will be lost on many viewers , especially outside of Italy , but a refusal to round off the edges of Ferrante 's story is what has made this adaptation so successful . " Never , not even in a moment , have I used any kind of trick to make things easier for viewers , " says Costanzo . Ferrante worked with Costanzo on the script , communicating only over email . He has previously described the process as like " working with a ghost " . But while she gave feedback and notes , she also gave him the freedom to pursue his vision for the show -- something he 's passed on to the other directors who 've taken up the mantle from him -- Daniele Luchetti in season three and now Laura Bispuri in season four . " I told them , do your job , do your point of view , " says Costanzo . " I want them to feel as free as I was . " This final season -- based on Ferrante 's fourth book , The Story of the Lost Child -- sees things come full circle , with Len ? and Lila brought back together in Naples after years apart . It 's now the 1980s , and decades of political and social unrest are coming to a close , but not before a succession of events again throw the women 's lives and friendship into turmoil once more . For those enthralled with My Brilliant Friend , it will be difficult to say goodbye to these characters . Its creators feel the same , too . " I loved this project so much that I was ready to give 10 years of my life , " says Costanzo . Meanwhile , anyone who is yet to discover this spellbinding show has something very special waiting for them . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject (the Duchess of York) + V1 (talked) + NP object (Andrew) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (going to the Firm's Christmas gathering). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the Duchess of York prevented Andrew from going to the gathering by means of talking. The NP object (Andrew) is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

And all children must board at a school on the mainland after primary . Due to a lack of hospitals , and until recently , a nurse , pregnant residents must leave for Shetland around two weeks prior to giving birth . This tradition is longstanding but before residents had access to an airport , they would have to leave by boat a whole month before giving birth . For the past two years , Foula has been without a nurse , but thankfully one has just been appointed Penny said : " It brings a great sense of security " . A factor which can put people off visiting , is getting trapped . Penny said : " Foula is a very weather dependent island . You never know whether you 'll get stuck in or out ! " But Sheila does n't believe this to be an issue : " We 're not cut off anymore . When I first married , it was quite common for the island to be cut off for a month . " We always keep a store of food . We might run out of one specific thing like chocolate , but we do n't run out of something to keep us alive . " As is custom , children leave the island to attend secondary school on the mainland - but being around a larger amount of people can come as a " shock " for many . 18 Foula has a recently appointed nurseCredit : getty 18 Closest are Penny 's three sons Jack , Robert and Paul , and furthest is her brother Ross , and his daughter 's boyfriendCredit : penny gear 18 Foula can be found just off the Northern coast of Scotland , it 's part of a set in the Shetland islandsCredit : penny gear 18 One of the few properties in FoulaCredit : getty 18 Foula 's water supply hutCredit : getty However , during the four years Penny spent boarding on the mainland , what kept her going " was the thought of Foula " . She added : " I 'm very attached to Foula , it 's in my blood . " The Primary School currently has just five children , who all happen to be cousins . Penny said : " Foula is a good place to raise kids . " We have a very good school . There 's only a small amount of kids so it 's almost one to one teaching . " Right now there are five kids to one teacher so it 's very good quality . " It 's well resourced , in a good position for education and the kids can grow up in the countryside and everyone knows everyone . " She added : " The children are the future of Foula . " But Penny admitted there can be downsides for younger people . She said : " There 's not much nightlife here . There just is n't that opportunity to meet people who are n't family . " However , this has n't proved to be much of an issue for Penny 's eldest son , Robert , 27 . Robert met his girlfriend on Tinder and at some point in the future he would like to raise a family in Foula . He also reminisced about his childhood : " I always had kids to play with . I never felt lonely because you always had the whole island to play on - the island was our playground . " Robert 's job incorporates a lot of travel . In the summer he works on ferries as a mate/deck crew , and in the winter he works with odd jobs based on the island . He said : " I 've sailed the world on merchant ships and seen thousands of horizons , but if I had the choice , I 'd still choose Foula . " For Robert , Foula is an escape from reality . He said : " You can drop in and out of civilisation - you feel connected with neighbours and the community . " Roberts ' grandma , Sheila , does not see herself ever moving away from Foula . She explained why : " It 's very beautiful , very dramatic - the scenery . " It 's very interesting if you 're interested in the natural world , wildlife and so on . " There 's always something interesting going on because we have the northern lights , very strong winds , and hurricanes occasionally . " We also have totally calm beautiful days , there 's a lot of contrast in life here . " When asked if island life ever gets lonely , Sheila replied : " Most people live on small islands , it 's just they do n't have seas all around them . " But where you live you have your house and home , the places you go to and people you meet at work , and your friends . " But it 's not a large number - if you actually counted it up . It 's probably not much more than what we 're mixing with . " Because sometimes we get a lot of people come , say there 's a cruise ship and in comes 200 people and you meet them , but you 're not actually living with them , you 're just meeting them and joining them for the day , then going home to your island . " She argued living in a city is more lonely than the island . " If you 're in a city , you might go somewhere very crowded and you 're meeting or seeing and maybe interacting with 100 people , but you 're not having a close relationship with them any more than we are with those who come here . |

For the past two years I have been on a waiting list . Not for a dentist appointment or a restaurant table , but for the dating app Raya . What began in 2015 as a small , invitation-only app for an artistic inner circle has quickly grown into a thriving network for the creative elite , celebrities and chief executives . It works like a regular dating app , with users swiping , or " liking " other people 's profiles , which include a photo and basic information such as first name and age . Get a match and you 're free to start a conversation . Its celebrity appeal is partly why people are so eager to sign up to Raya . The sports presenter Alex Scott is said to have met her girlfriend , the singer Jess Glynne , on it . Scott and Glynne GETTY Some users claim to have spotted the profiles of Harry Styles , Cara Delevingne and Lizzo . Last week Lily Allen announced she was divorcing her husband , the Stranger Things actor David Harbour , whom she met on Raya in 2019 . Now she is back on the app . Allen and Harbour DAVE BENETT The mystery surrounding how you qualify to become a member is a big part of the attraction too . " I do n't deal with the membership at all , " says the app 's founder , Daniel Gendelman , 40 , when I ask him why I have n't yet made the grade . He suggests it might be because I work for a national newspaper . " We do n't like people writing about the dating part of it , " he says . " It cuts a little bit of the trust . " Sitting in a dimly lit hotel lounge on a rainy day in Paris for what is only his third interview , Gendelman cuts a casual figure in a faded denim jacket , jeans and a Tokyo Giants baseball cap . He has sandy-coloured stubble and the dark circles around his eyes of somebody who has n't slept . While Raya was created from his apartment in West Hollywood , Gendelman , originally from Milwaukee , in Midwest America , is in the French capital working on his new travel app , Places , which curates the restaurant , hotel and shop recommendations of a " savvy global community " . When Gendelman launched Raya , he described it as trying " to solve a big problem for a small number of people " . With Places , which was released in the summer , he wants " to please as many people as we can " , though he plans to roll it out " really slowly " . Daniel Gendelman is also promoting his new travel app , Places It 's a complicated time for dating apps . A decade ago , they were a revolutionary way to meet new people . When Tinder launched in the UK in 2013 , it helped to eradicate the stigma that millennials felt lingered around online dating . Meeting people via an algorithm has become the norm : in 2022 , 20 per cent of Americans reported meeting their spouses on an app , compared with 3 per cent in 2013 . That same year , the dating app market made $5.34 billion in revenue . In 2020 Tinder hit its peak , reaching more than 73 million monthly active users and reporting three billion swipes in a single day . But now dating apps are falling out of favour.According to Ofcom 's 2024 Online Nation report , usage of the top ten most popular dating apps has dropped almost 16 per cent this year . Tinder is taking the biggest hit , with more than half a million users deleting the app since May 2023 , followed by Bumble and Hinge , which over the same period lost 368,000 and 131,000 users respectively . Apps have been criticised for not putting enough safeguards in place after a BBC investigation found the number of reported sexual offences linked to dating apps doubled between 2017 and 2020 . A third of people surveyed reported harassment or abuse on the app itself . There is also swipe fatigue . Research shows that 90 per cent of Gen Zers find dating apps frustrating and are attempting to return to real-life encounters , with the ticketing website Eventbrite reporting more than 1.54 million searches for dating and singles events from May 2023 to April 2024 . Raya does n't share user numbers , but in 2018 , The New York Times reported there were more than 100,000 people on its waiting list . Is it even longer now ? Again , Gendelman wo n't say -- this time , " because there 's no number that 's perfectly satisfying . If I said one that 's way bigger than what 's in your mind , you 'd say , ' Well , that does n't feel intimate ' " . He does admit , however , that there is still " a big waiting list " . Gendelman speaks in corporate jargon about Raya 's " mission " and hopes his team see him as " an empathetic leader " . He is self-deprecating , refusing to take credit for Raya 's success , instead lauding the " sacrifices " and " goodness " of his team . He refuses to speak about lots of things . Questions about his own relationship status are met with eye rolls , awkward laughter and an insistence that " no one needs to know " , though he speaks happily about his nieces and nephews . He describes himself as " an introvert who gets energy from being alone " but also as someone who " enjoys nothing more than being out in the world meeting new people " . He believes Raya 's " intimacy " sets it apart from other dating apps , and implies that we 're being presented with too many options , from pop-up ads to what seems like an infinite number of potential matches . Gendelman says that unlike other dating apps , " there is n't an endless scroll on Raya " . The app is ad-free and he insists the company does n't sell its users ' data . He thinks the reason why people are desperate to be part of Raya is because " we make dating feel like a trusted recommendation . Having a standard really helps people feel like they can trust . When trust is broken , people want to go elsewhere . " These " trusted recommendations " are the result of a filtration process . Applications are combed through and vetted by a membership committee that Gendelman says " has grown a lot " as Raya " tries to handle the demand " . Acceptance is based on various factors , such as how many other users an applicant knows and the size of their Instagram following . Once accepted onto Raya ( for which you 'll need an Apple phone ) , users pay a ? 20 a month basic subscription fee , which will let you send a certain number of " likes " to other users . Extra " likes " and other perks can be bought separately . For access to more profiles , users can pay ? 40 per month for Raya+ . But as demand increases and more people gain access , some feel the standard has slipped . One friend in the fitness industry refers to the app as " an influencer cesspit " , while an entrepreneur acquaintance shares horror stories of women demanding chauffeurs to drive them to dates . Megan Reynolds , 29 , a venture capitalist , went on one Raya date with " someone high-profile " in London in 2022 but quit the app soon after . " Raya was supposed to be more exclusive , but these days it 's almost the same as dating apps like Hinge , " she says . " The hit rate felt low for what I was paying . " Gendelman turns spiky at the mention of it being " exclusive " . " Exclusive is n't a term that we ever use at our company because that 's not really why we exist , " he says . Raya originally attracted celebrities because it promised privacy and strict rules . Anyone caught sharing conversations or content from the app is permanently banned -- though this often proves easier said than done . " There 've been a few incidents , " says Gendelman . One was in 2019 , when Nivine Jay , a comedian , shared a video on TikTok of the actor Ben Affleck verifying his Raya profile . Screenshots have circulated of profiles allegedly belonging to the Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton and Made In Chelsea cast members . " I ca n't fully guarantee all the time that every human on Raya is going to follow our guidelines , but fortunately it 's very infrequent and we remove people immediately if they break the trust , " says Gendelman . He wo n't give specific numbers but confirms that Raya is now " a profitable enterprise in a neat position " . In six years , his team has grown from 22 people working in an office in Los Angeles to a fully remote business of more than 100 employees working around the world . Has Raya changed his life ? " Ten years ago I was an out-of-work entrepreneur . The fact we 're here a decade later with a new product is incredibly gratifying , " he says . " But I keep moving the goalposts . Ask me again in another ten years . " |

Extra " likes " and other perks can be bought separately . For access to more profiles , users can pay ? 40 per month for Raya+ . But as demand increases and more people gain access , some feel the standard has slipped . One friend in the fitness industry refers to the app as " an influencer cesspit " , while an entrepreneur acquaintance shares horror stories of women demanding chauffeurs to drive them to dates . Megan Reynolds , 29 , a venture capitalist , went on one Raya date with " someone high-profile " in London in 2022 but quit the app soon after . " Raya was supposed to be more exclusive , but these days it 's almost the same as dating apps like Hinge , " she says . " The hit rate felt low for what I was paying . " Gendelman turns spiky at the mention of it being " exclusive " . " Exclusive is n't a term that we ever use at our company because that 's not really why we exist , " he says . Raya originally attracted celebrities because it promised privacy and strict rules . Anyone caught sharing conversations or content from the app is permanently banned -- though this often proves easier said than done . " There 've been a few incidents , " says Gendelman . One was in 2019 , when Nivine Jay , a comedian , shared a video on TikTok of the actor Ben Affleck verifying his Raya profile . Screenshots have circulated of profiles allegedly belonging to the Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton and Made In Chelsea cast members . " I ca n't fully guarantee all the time that every human on Raya is going to follow our guidelines , but fortunately it 's very infrequent and we remove people immediately if they break the trust , " says Gendelman . He wo n't give specific numbers but confirms that Raya is now " a profitable enterprise in a neat position " . In six years , his team has grown from 22 people working in an office in Los Angeles to a fully remote business of more than 100 employees working around the world . Has Raya changed his life ? " Ten years ago I was an out-of-work entrepreneur . The fact we 're here a decade later with a new product is incredibly gratifying , " he says . " But I keep moving the goalposts . Ask me again in another ten years . " |

More than two years have passed since the independent disciplinary panel of the British Horseracing Authority adjudicated on the complaint made by Bryony Frost against Robbie Dunne , her fellow jump jockey . The panel found Dunne guilty of harassing and bullying Frost and banned him for 18 months , with the last three months of the sentence suspended . Dunne 's ban was reduced to ten months on appeal and he returned to National Hunt racing in October 2022 . " It has been a horrible time for all the parties involved and I am truly sorry for the unfortunate incident at Southwell . But it is time to draw a long line under it all and leave the past where it belongs , " he said in a statement after winning on his first ride back . Has the past been truly consigned to the past ? Four weeks ago , Frost rode Il Ridoto in the Virgin Bet December Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Cheltenham . It was a wonderful steeplechase as Frost and fellow jockey Charlie Deutsch , on Frero Banbou , jostled for the lead . At her best , Frost gets horses jumping fluently and speedily . She and Il Ridoto were a joy to behold . Frost rode 47 winners in 2020-21 , but has only 16 so far this season as the rides have dried up TIM GOODE/PA Turning in to face the last two fences and the climb to the winning post , Frost pushed Il Ridoto clear and victory looked likely . Alas for her , Fugitif was finishing strongly from off the pace . They battled hell for leather up the hill with Fugitif getting there by a short head . When two horses give everything they have , it 's hard to see the runner-up as a loser . As for Frost , she had been brilliant . Just as she had been when in the foothills of what promised to be an exceptional career . She was only 22 when she won her first grade one race , the Kauto Star Novices ' Chase at Kempton Park on Boxing Day in 2017 . Here was a young woman who could take on men in one of sport 's toughest arenas . That she was bright , articulate and expressive seemed like a bonus . If anyone could sell the sport , it was Frost . Fifteen months after that victory on board Black Corton , Frost became the first woman to win a grade one at the Cheltenham Festival when giving Frodon an exceptional ride to win the Ryanair Chase . In December 2020 , she and Frodon conjured up another captivating performance to win the King George VI Chase at Kempton . The racing public was thrilled . That everything was n't what it seemed might have been gleaned from a comment made by the retired 20-times champion jockey , Sir Anthony McCoy , in the immediate aftermath of Frost winning the King George . In his role as ITV 's highest-profile pundit , McCoy said it did n't matter who rode Frodon , the horse would still have won . Frodon , the outsider of trainer Paul Nicholls 's three runners , went off at 20-1 . Frost was only 23 when she won the Ryanair Chase on board Frodon at the Cheltenham Festival TIMES PHOTOGRAPHER MARC ASPLAND Though fellow ITV pundit Ruby Walsh would compliment Frost for a tactically astute ride , no one got McCoy to explain how he could be so dismissive of the rider . Asked about McCoy 's comment in the weeks after the race Frost said she preferred to remember what Ruby Walsh had said , as if she could not dare criticise someone as powerful as McCoy . By then , Frost knew she was n't everyone 's cup of tea , especially inside the weighing room . Two weeks after winning the King George , she alluded to these problems . " There are always going to be a few people that frown , " she said . " Opinions are opinions , not facts , and I think for our younger generation there are things that must be improved . It 's finding the support to become who you need to be . " Inside the weighing room , Frost never found that support . The worst of the bullying and harassment by Dunne had already taken place . Frost had gone to the BHA and a formal investigation had begun . In their assessment of wildly conflicting stories , the independent panel sided with Frost . " We found Ms Frost a truthful , careful and compelling witness , " it concluded . " Her account of her treatment by Mr Dunne was clear , consistent , credible and unshaken by cross examination . There came a stage when she could take no more from Mr Dunne . As she recognised by taking her complaint to the BHA , she broke the accepted code knowing that isolation and rejection by some was inevitable . " Dunne was found guilty of harassing and bullying Frost and banned for 18 months , later reduced to ten on appeal YUI MOK/PA That last observation about isolation and rejection was key to what would happen next . Frost broke the weighing room 's law of omert ? . Four of the most senior jockeys ? Richard Johnson ( since retired ) , Nico de Boinville , Tom Scudamore and Gavin Sheehan ? all gave evidence in support of Dunne . The weighing room had been , and would remain , on Dunne 's side . The numbers show the careers of both Frost and Dunne have suffered over the past season and a half . Before the case came to light , Frost rode 47 winners in the 2020-21 season . For that same period , Dunne rode 44 . Nine months into this season , Frost has 16 winners from 107 rides ; Dunne nine from 127 . It is easy to feel sympathy for Frost . Frost was only 26 when she went to the BHA . She exposed unacceptable behaviour . The case dragged on for more than a year and , like many other whistleblowers , Frost has come to understand that the after-effects last far longer . Before the controversy , she 'd had a very different kind of career to Dunne 's , winning six grade one races . These days , she rarely get rides in grade ones . She got the opportunity in a valuable handicap on Il Ridoto because fellow jockey Freddie Gingell had picked up a suspension . It was a rare chance for her to shine in a big televised race . Frost 's ride on Il Ridoto , right , at Kempton last month showed she still has plenty to offer STEVEN CARGILL/REX " It was the latest reminder of Frost 's talents in the saddle , " Matt Butler wrote in the following day 's Racing Post . " But it remains hard not to feel the 28-year-old is being underused . " There have been few highlights for Frost over the past 18 months and she 's had more than 30 rides in a month only once since the start of 2022 , a feat she managed 22 times from 2018 to the end of 2021 . Another Racing Post writer , David Carr , was similarly impressed . " Yet spare a thought , too , for Bryony Frost , who conjured another career-best out of quick-jumping front-runner Il Ridoto , " he wrote . " Frost is good , which makes it a mystery why she has ridden for just a dozen different trainers this season and been given winning rides by only five of them . Bryony Frost remains underused . " There is no mystery why Bryony Frost is being underused . Racing had a treasure -- and decided to bury it . |

Warren Gatland will be sweating on the fitness of hookers Dewi Lake and Ryan Elias ahead of Wales ' Six Nations opener against France . Wales are highly likely to be without Lake for at least the start of the Championship after the 25-year-old underwent surgery on his bicep which the Ospreys have confirmed will keep him out for " months " . Scarlets hooker Elias has missed the last couple of games with a neck injury but Dwayne Peel hopes he will return to play some part in their Challenge Cup games against Gloucester and Vannes next month . " He is getting there slowly , " said Peel . " I do n't think he will be right for New Year 's Day but he has been part of what we are doing . " Until he gets some strength back , we will not be risking him in that area . He is a big loss because he is a big leader and player for us and we are looking forward to getting him back . " But Gatland has at least been boosted by the return of experienced hooker Elliot Dee who made his first appearance of the season for the Dragons in their defeat to Cardiff on Boxing Day . Wales wing Blair Murray , who missed the last couple of games with a hamstring injury , will return to figure for the Scarlets against the Dragons on New Year 's Day . Former England coach Stuart Lancaster has slammed what he claims are " lies " surrounding speculation over his position at Racing 92 . Lancaster , whose Racing team lie second in the Top14 behind Toulouse , was responding to comments made by former England international Andy Goode on The Rugby Pod . Addressing the comments , Lancaster told French outlet RMC Sport : " I was disappointed by the lies told about me . One of them started in England about my departure for Munster , which is totally false . I lost all the respect I had for the people on the podcast who said that . " But what disappointed me the most was the fact that other people presented information on their websites as true without checking the facts . We live in a world full of false information ; it is a responsibility to check it . " Goode had suggested on the podcast that there is unrest at the French club over Lancaster picking his son Dan at fly-half , while also suggesting he is he keen on the vacant post at Munster . " He 's picking his son at fly-half . Apparently , the French lads are not happy with Stuart Lancaster whatsoever , and I 'm not sure Lanny 's enjoying that relationship with the French lads and the club , " Goode said . " The easy thing to do over in Racing and in France , in general , is just to blame the non-French option , blame the English guys , blame the Scots , blame whoever else is there that 's not French , and Lanny 's under some heat . " I 've heard he 's chucked his hat in the ring for Munster because he wants out of Racing , but we 'll see what happens . " Former Cardiff RFC wing and rugby league legend Frank Wilson has died at the age of 80 . Born in Cardiff in 1944 and a product of Llandaff North , Frank made his debut for his home city against the Barbarians on October 7 , 1964 . According to the Cardiff Rugby website Wilson was the " first Cardiffian of colour to become a first team , scoring a hat-trick of tries against Coventry in 1966 " . Wilson represented Cardiff alongside the great Sir Gareth Edwards , Gerald Davies and Maurice Richards . He scored 17 tries in 24 matches for the Blue & Blacks before switching codes to play for St Helens in 1968 . Wilson made 300 appearances for the rugby league giants and scored 176 tries . He also had spells at Workington Town , Warrington , Salford and Cardiff City Blue Dragons . Wilson also won 14 caps for Wales in rugby league , representing his country in the 1975 World Championship . Liam Williams was part of a Saracens side who got annihilated 68-10 by Bath at the Rec . This was a record Gallagher Premiership defeat for Saracens who conceded 10 tries . Experienced Wales full-back Williams was at fault for the opening try when he intentionally tapped a cross-field kick from Finn Russell over the dead ball line to prevent Joe Cokanasiga scoring a try . But his efforts were in vain with referee Karl Dickson awarding a penalty try and sending Williams to the sin bin . The floodgates opened when openside flanker Toby Knight got red carded for a high tackle after 14 minutes with Will Muir scoring a hat-trick while Cokanasiga ( twice ) , Thomas du Toit , Cameron Redpath , Sam Underhill and Ollie Lawrence also scored tries . " Today is a big moment because when these thunderbolts come along -- which they have in previous seasons -- it is how you respond to it which defines the rest of the season , " Saracens rugby director McCall said . " The experience is ugly and horrible , to be honest , but it is how you respond to something like that happening which can make or break your season . " A late Dan Cole try and a touchline conversion from Handre Pollard saw Leicester Tigers draw 34-34 with Harlequins in front of a sell-out crowd at Twickenham . There was plenty of Welsh representation with tighthead prop Dillon Lewis and outside-half Dillon Lewis coming on as replacements for Harlequins , while loosehead prop Nicky Smith started for Leicester . But arguably the standout player was Welsh-qualified backrower Olly Cracknell who finished the game as top carrier with 16. |

We are experiencing some temporary issues . The market data on this page is currently delayed . Please bear with us as we address this and restore your personalised lists . ' Shockingly lax ' : how soaring British bank Starling had its wings clipped Kalyeena Makortoff Banking correspondent Sun , 29 Dec 2024 , 5:00 am7 min read Anne Boden founded the digital challenger bank in 2014 . Photograph : AFP/Getty and Alamy In June , Raman Bhatia walked into the fifth-floor office at Starling Bank 's headquarters in east London with a clean slate . It was set to be an antidote to a turbulent two years steering his former employer , Ovo , through an energy crisis and fines for overcharging customers . At the digital-only challenger bank , where he was taking over from the founder , Anne Boden , things looked more rosy , with a possible stock market listing on the horizon . He began his term by rubbing shoulders with new Labour ministers in No 10 's rose garden , and charming staff during a tour of Starling offices in Cardiff , London and Southampton . But autumn brought the honeymoon to an abrupt end . In October , Starling was hit with a ? 29m fine for " shockingly lax " financial crime controls , which the City regulator said had left the financial system " wide open to criminals and those subject to sanctions " . It threatened to take a hefty chunk out of Starling 's 2024 profits , and raised questions over the bank 's vehement defence of its customer screening process two years earlier when a former fraud minister challenged the bank 's handling of Covid loan applications . It meant that when Bhatia addressed a London banking conference at the start of December , one of the first questions he was asked was not about Starling 's bright future but its recent failings . Starling once seemed poised for unwavering success . It was part of a trio of online-only neo-banks , alongside Revolut and Monzo , which emerged in the mid-2010s to disrupt traditional banking . Boden , a former Royal Bank of Scotland executive , presented Starling as a grown-up among the upstarts , with 30 years of banking experience and ? 48m of seed funding from the reclusive Austrian billionaire Harald McPike . Not everyone agreed with her leadership style -- as illustrated by a staff rebellion that led to a former colleague launching a rival , Monzo . But in 2016 , two years after its launch , Starling clinched a coveted UK banking licence , allowing it to hold its own customers ' deposits and issue lucrative loans . It would take Monzo another year , and Revolut until 2024 , to do the same . And although the pandemic loomed , the government-backed schemes that followed would fuel Starling 's growth : it was among a number of smaller lenders that eagerly queued to distribute bounce-back loans ( BBLs ) . Meant to support businesses during lockdown , banks offered companies loans of up to ? 50,000 at 2.5% interest , but carried little risk , with taxpayers picking up 100% of losses if borrowers defaulted . Large banks restricted BBLs to their own customers . But challengers such as Starling opened applications to new clients and experienced exponential growth as a result . The bank had only issued ? 23m of its own loans before the pandemic in November 2019 , but had distributed ? 1.6bn in BBLs by the time the scheme closed in March 2021 . Meanwhile , its business customer base swelled from 87,000 to 330,000 : equivalent to onboarding 15,000 a month . High street banks , by comparison , were onboarding 1,500 to 8,000 on average . Starling -- which had 1,245 staff at the time -- credited the feat to its cutting-edge tech . , a feat that the bank -- which had 1,245 staff at the time -- chalked up to its cutting-edge tech . Within months , it was toasting its first annual profit . Not everyone was celebrating . In May 2022 , Lord Agnew , a former Treasury minister with an anti-fraud brief , accused Starling of acting against taxpayers ' interests and using BBLs as a " cost-free marketing exercise to build their loan book and so their company valuation " . He added that the bank was " one of the worst when it came to validating the turnover of businesses or submitting suspicious activity reports " . Boden was incensed . She accused Agnew of making " defamatory statements " and threatened to take legal action against the Tory peer , and said the bank had reported his comments to regulators . She also insisted Starling was one of the " most active and effective banks fighting fraud " . In the background , the Financial Conduct Authority ( FCA ) had been raising serious concerns about Starling 's financial crime controls . In late 2020 , during a sample review of challenger banks , the watchdog said it had " identified several issues " with Starling 's anti-money-laundering and financial sanctions controls , as well as its governance and oversight . But this would not have been news to some , at least , of Starling 's management . In 2018 , an internal audit report had identified " several significant gaps " in Starling 's financial crime procedures . However , those shortcoming were not adequately conveyed to either Starling 's board or the regulator , FCA documents said . The regulator flagged " wide-ranging concerns " in a letter to Starling bosses in March 2021 , just as the BBL programme was winding down , but further tests found problems in Starling 's client screening . By September , Starling had agreed to a VREQ -- or voluntary requirement -- that banned it from processing applications for any high-risk customers while it improved controls . Months passed . In July 2022 , Starling realised that a key check was not working properly . It meant that nearly 300 customers who had previously been booted out of the bank for " financial crime reasons " had been able to reopen accounts . By November , Starling 's financial crime rating was raised to " red " . And two months later , in January 2023 , it found that an automated screening system had only been checking against a partial list of individuals under sanctions since 2017 . Starling ultimately breached the VREQ , opening 54,000 accounts for 49,183 high-risk customers between September 2021 and November 2023 , earning ? 900,000 in interest and fees along the way . An external consultancy later chalked up the failings to an inexperienced management team that lacked sufficient anti-money laundering and regulatory expertise . Engineering teams , given responsibility for upgrading the systems and controls , were not told of the existence of the regulator 's order . It was only in April this year that Starling managed to go a full month without breaking the rules . The VREQ remains in place today . The regulator did not refer to the BBL scheme in its report . But Agnew revived his concerns in October . The digital bank has so far claimed ? 94m of taxpayer money through the BBL scheme on loans that were later flagged for fraud , a figure only surpassed by the four largest high street banks . " The government should consider the FCA 's findings and examine whether there needs to be a clawback on any of the taxpayer funds paid to Starling to cover fraud losses , " Agnew told the Times . The new revelations have undoubtedly hurt Starling 's reputation and kicked the prospect of a stock market listing -- and payouts to investors such as Goldman Sachs and McPike -- down the road . " It makes it harder to ' sell the story ' to investors , " said John Cronin , an independent banking analyst and founder of SeaPoint Insights . " I would be surprised to see a successful IPO within the next two to three years , " he added . Boden stepped down as chief executive in 2023 citing a " conflict of interest " between being a boss and a large shareholder , leaving Bhatia to weather the storm . Starling said : " We fully accept and have apologised for the FCA 's findings . Their fine related solely to breaches of the VREQ and to sanctions controls . The loans issued during the Covid crisis were to a small proportion of our new customers . In line with other banks , we were supporting the government 's efforts to keep the economy alive and small business owners active . " We 're moving forward with plans for new products and services and are excited about the prospects for 2025. " |

The sentence contains the phrase 'talking you out of doing something', which fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'talking' is used in the V1 slot, and the NP object 'you' functions as a causee. The interpretation is prevention, as the emotional part of the brain prevents the logical part from doing something by means of talking. This aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The Paris Paralympics saw Sarah add two more Golds to her tally . ( Image : Andrew Matthews/PA Wire ) Dame Sarah Storey , who lives with her husband , Barney , and their children in Disley , was one of the six sports stars shortlisted for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2024 award Tell us about your childhood I grew up in Cheshire and went to Disley Primary , where there was a lot of sport on the curriculum . I was always happy to try any sport offered . I was a very outdoorsy kid . Where did your love of sport come from ? My mum and dad were both akelas in the Cheadle Hulme scout group and my dad was also the superintendent of our church youth group , so there were always weekends away doing activities , camping , and mini-highland games . We were always very active and loved the outdoors . No one was particularly athletic , we just loved being outside . I remember watching the Olympics in 1984 when I was six and seeing 15-year-old Sarah Hardcastle swim and that 's when I realised there were reasons to do sport , other than just for fun . Was there a moment when you believed your disability ( Sarah was born without a functioning left hand ) was n't going to hold you back ? It was never an issue for me . I just saw it as , for example , some people have bigger feet than other people ; I 've got one arm longer than the other . Sarah Hardcastle . I thought , not only is she called Sarah but she also swims , which is one of the things I loved to do , so I looked up to her . Sarah now lives in Australia and one of her daughters is a two-time Olympian You started as a highly accomplished swimmer -- what made you shift to cycling ? Swimming was the first sport that took me to an international level and introduced me to competing at Paralympian events . Previous to that , I competed in able-bodied events , which I continued to do . But I got an ear infection in 2005 , so could n't swim , and needed something else to do to keep fit . I saw the velodrome and thought , that looks suitably scary , let 's give it a go . How do you prepare for a competition ? There 's the physical preparation , which is pretty generic in many ways . As I 've been competing for 34 years I 've got a pretty good base fitness but I do have to fine-tune it when I 'm getting into competition mode . I then refine my training to complement the specific course and terrain I 'm going to be competing on . For example , when I competed in the World Championships in Zurich this year , I could see the terrain was very hilly so my power-to-weight ratio was crucial . That meant I had to balance the amount of muscle I was building because it weighs a lot and I would have to push it uphill . But being heavier means it aids in coming down the hill faster . So it 's important to get the right balance . I also look at the psychological aspects of preparing and differentiating the ' human ' part of the brain , which makes logical decisions , versus the emotional part of the brain -- the ' chimp part ' , as Steve Peters , the author of The Chimp Paradox , would put it , which wants you to be comfortable and can often derail the human brain by talking you out of doing something if you feel nervous . I find it useful to rehearse how I am going to feel in a race and what the opposition might be doing . I like to create a mental tool kit that can prepare for every eventuality . Congratulations on your 19th gold medal in Paris this year . You must have a room dedicated to your medals and awards ? I initially wanted to emulate Sir Steve Redgrave and I got my fifth gold in a row by getting my 18th gold in that time trial . Then I took my 19th medal in what I think was the closest race I 've ever had to win . Two weeks later I went out to the World Championships and won two more golds . Altogether I have 45 world titles . I do n't have a room dedicated to my medals , I just have them stashed in various socks . At the time , I think every moment is the proudest moment because of what I have done to get there . Competing in a home games is a highlight for all athletes . But coming back after having a baby and then coming back again after having my second child was special . Then I think back to my first Paralympic Games ( Barcelona 1992 ) as a 14-year-old -- that was a highlight . How did you feel when you found out you had been made a Dame in the 2013 New Year 's Honours List ? I had to Google what a DBE meant -- Dame Commander Order of the British Empire . We had just come back from a holiday in Lanzarote and we had a pile of post , and I then noticed the royal crest on one of the envelopes . The Damehood means an acknowledgment of everything I 've had to do in my journey and the support of people who have helped me in the ongoing search for the best version of me . It was an acknowledgment of the six Paralympics I had then competed in , which span 24 years , culminating in my wins at the London Olympics in 2012 . I am very proud . Sarah and Barney Storey : ' We met at a training camp when I was a swimmer . We started as friends and it grew from there ' she says . ( Image : Kurt Thomas ) How did you meet your husband , Barney Storey ? Barney is a sighted pilot for visually impaired athletes so he is an able-bodied national champion who had the opportunity to pilot the tandem in 2002 and has competed in three Paralympics in that capacity . We met at a training camp when I was a swimmer . We started out as friends and it grew from there . When you 're not training or competing how do you spend your time ? We do a lot of family activities as we have two children : Louisa is 11 and Charlie is seven . We like to catch up with friends or go to the match as we are Man United fans . Sarah Storey , golden girl of Paris 2024 . ( Image : Andrew Matthews/PA Wire ) What are your plans for Christmas and the new year ? We went away last year on a training camp but this year we are going to be at home having a family Christmas . My parents are going to join us and then I suppose we will get a holiday away at some point . What 's been the best gift you have received from Barney ? Besides my engagement and wedding rings , it would have to be the Wonder Woman necklace he bought me . What plans do you have for 2025 ? ( Note : Shortly after this interview , Sarah fractured her ankle which sidelined her plans to appear in the upcoming Dancing on Ice series ) I will probably get back into my cycling training as I have no plans to retire . The difference in the disciplines of cycling and ice skating is interesting -- the tucked and compact mode of cycling versus the stretch , elegance and co-ordination of skating . I will also continue supporting the charities I 'm passionate about , such as the Children 's Adventure Farm Trust , which is a haven for hundreds of disabled and disadvantaged children and is based in Cheshire . Also Boot Out Breast Cancer , which was set up by Debbie Dowie in 2010 , to help support and make a difference to women diagnosed with breast cancer . Finally , the UK Human Milk Bank , which does brilliant work to help ensure babies have access to healthy milk through a donor scheme , which I contributed to in 2017 after I had Charlie . I 'm a patron . Are your children sporty ? They both play cricket . Charlie is also into his BMX and football , and Louisa is a dancer . Sarah Storey takes a breather at her local pub , The Ram 's Head in Disley . ( Image : Kurt Thomas ) Where are your three favourite Cheshire places ? Lyme Park is lovely and on the doorstep , I enjoy Macclesfield and I absolutely love cycling around the beautiful Cheshire lanes . How do you look after yourself , physically and mentally ? Protein shakes after training , collagen supplements , and a night-time powder supplement to help maximise sleep and recovery . I have a high-protein diet with lots of fruit and vegetables . I do lots of breathwork when I do my mobility work , which is similar to yoga. # What are your three favourite beauty products ? I really like the Elemis Pro Collagen Rose Cleansing Balm as it 's like a fast facial . I pop it on before I get into the shower and the water turns it to a milk . Your skin feels lovely after using it . BareMinerals Tinted Moisturiser is so easy to use and it feels light on the skin , and I apply Elemis Pro Collagen SPF 50 before my makeup every day . What advice would you give to your younger self ? Probably the advice that I was given : follow your path and do n't worry about what other people think .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it seems to involve 'pulling out of' as a phrasal verb followed by a gerund phrase 'contributing more than', but lacks an NP object that functions as a causee. Additionally, it does not clearly induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the transitive out of -ing construction.

A housing developer has prompted fury after it backtracked on its promise . ( Image : Getty ) Work has already started on the development near Ashford in Kent . The first phase involves the 5,570-home Chilmington Green development . Hodson was reported in Kent Online as pulling out of contributing more than ? 50mn worth of new infrastructure and community facilities , including ? 30m toward a major road improvement and a new school , library , and youth services . The funding includes ? 30mn improvements to the A28 in Ashford . Kent Online reported that the housebuilder , which is the Chilmington Green 's lead developer , signed a legally binding agreement - known as a Section 106 Agreement ( S106 ) - in 2017 . The agreement commits it to invest in local services and infrastructure . Hodson also has permission to build another 665 houses on a nearby site , Possingham Farm . The developer has claimed that the current financial markets mean it can no longer afford the investment . Locals are fuming over the decision , arguing that there is no shortage of homes in the area and that more needs to be done to secure more GP and school places . A Kent County Council spokeswoman said it would defend the legal obligations placed on the developer by the local council , Ashford Borough Council . They added that the county council was in contact with Hodson but would seek a public inquiry and court action if there was no resolution . The spokesperson said the council needed to prioritise the safety of residents , which included preventing the A28 from becoming permanently gridlocked .

Read our Privacy Policy The next step in the process is for an inspector from the Planning Inspectorate to decide whether Hodson can back out of its promised funding commitment ; an inquiry is scheduled to start on February 19 , 2025 . The Telegraph reported that Hodson 's decision would also involve scrapping an entire primary school , ? 213,000 of adult learning funding , ? 900,000 of library funding , and ? 239,000 from youth services . It has also asked if it can not pay ? 5.62million towards road improvements that have already taken place in Ashford . Mail Online said other commitments it wants to alter include axing ? 800,000 worth of funding for a new graveyard , not contributing to footpaths and cycling routes and removing the provision of ? 2.5mn bus vouchers for local homeowners . |

Middle-aged adults are spending more time on their devices . According to the data platform Statista , 78 per cent of people aged 45 to 54 use their smartphone daily . Most research has been focused on young people 's problematic smartphone use , not their parents ' generation -- so what can the over-40s do to improve their online lives in 2025 ? Emma Hepburn is a clinical psychologist with a large Gen X following on her Instagram account @thepsychologymum . As someone in her forties who relies on social media for her profession , she is well aware of the need for boundaries . " We did n't have mobile phones when we were younger , and we certainly did n't have social media , " she says , recognising problems such as doomscrolling ( the act of trawling through feeds without pause , no matter how bad the news is ) and comparing ourselves with others . Hepburn notes that we should not demonise social media , however . It has enabled her generation to " get out there more and create connections " . According to a study published last month in the online journal Nature Human Behaviour , which involved almost 90,000 adults in 23 countries including the UK , regular internet use was associated with a 9 per cent reduction in depressive symptom scores , a 7 per cent increase in life satisfaction scores , and a 15 per cent rise in self-reported health scores among the over-50s age group , compared with those who went online rarely or never . Dr Ruth Plackett , a senior research fellow at University College London , agrees that being online can be a positive experience -- but only if you 're intentional about how you navigate the digital landscape . Here 's how to get the most out of being online , while mitigating the downsides . Hepburn explains that to break a habit such as regularly reaching for your phone , introducing a barrier is crucial . In psychology , friction is a concept that refers to any factor that increases the time or effort required to complete a task or make a decision . " I noticed that being on social media was becoming almost habitual . It was the first thing I did when I got up -- I 'd have a quick scroll -- and it was the last thing I did at night , " Hepburn says . Now , she does n't take her phone upstairs . " It stays downstairs . I have a traditional alarm clock , and I started reading huge amounts again , because not having my phone next to me freed up so much time . I also sleep better . " Hepburn is an advocate of anything that makes you stop and think . " That way , it 's no longer impulsive . You can make an active choice : what do I really want to do here ? " You can set limits on Instagram so that a window pops up , notifying you that you 've reached your maximum browsing time for that day -- but it 's very easy to override with a quick click , says Hepburn . Instead she recommends apps like Forest . When users spend time away from their phones , they grow virtual trees and earn coins , which can then be saved up to help plant real trees in five countries in Africa : Cameroon , Kenya , Senegal , Uganda and Tanzania . If they exit the Forest app before the timer expires ( users can set this in advance ) a virtual tree dies . " I found that really incentivising , " Hepburn says . An app called Freedom enables users to block specific apps and websites , schedule browsing sessions , and set time limits that ca n't be easily undone . The app One Sec creates a pause before your chosen app opens , giving you the opportunity to decide whether you actually need to use it or not . " Social media has become such a part of our social life , so deleting it altogether means you 're likely to be excluded from social events and making new friends , " says Plackett . People are very rarely able to log off indefinitely , research shows -- and taking yourself off social media entirely is unhelpful because it can stop you from building up resilience . " You need to be able to manage the online world rather than avoid it completely . It 's important to go through experiences such as comparing yourself to others online , for example , " Plackett says . People make assumptions based on a snapshot of someone else 's life online . " It results in feeling like we 're doing worse than them , " Hepburn says . First of all , notice you 're making an upward comparison , which is when we compare ourselves with those who we believe are better than us . " And then remind yourself that your comparison is unfair because you 're not getting a true representation of someone 's reality , " she says . In some cases , it can be particularly challenging to stop yourself from making a comparison , for example , if you 're struggling to conceive . " If you 're trying to have a baby but having difficulty , and you 're regularly seeing family-focused content , then you might need to ask yourself : are there people I can mute ? " It could just be for a couple of hours every day at first so that you get used to it , says Plackett , but the breaks that work best for people last for a couple of days or a week . Research shows that longer stretches of abstinence tend to be more effective than just cutting down for a couple of hours a day . " If you 're going on a family holiday , it 's worth saying , OK , no phones while we 're away from the hotel , or , ideally , no phones at all during the trip , " Plackett says . A study in the journal Cyberpsychology , Behaviour and Social Networking in 2022 found that one week off social media improved individuals ' overall level of wellbeing , as well as reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety . Being mindful about your social media use can help you to gain insight and acceptance into how it makes you feel and act accordingly , Plackett explains . She recommends active reflection : be specific with the questions you ask yourself . Why am I posting all these photos on Instagram ? What 's the purpose ? Does it make me feel good ? What am I expecting to get out of it ? Am I doing it for a reaction from a particular person or am I just doing it for myself ? And then , how does it feel when I get no reaction , a negative reaction or a positive reaction ? Plackett points to the higher number of people diagnosed with ADHD in recent years . Almost five people in every 1,000 are taking ADHD medication in England , an increase of 18 per cent from last year , and the highest number since records began in 2016 . A University of Bournemouth study in 2023 of 150 adults who had never been diagnosed with ADHD found that those who used social media excessively were more likely to have ADHD-like behaviours such as short attention spans and impulsivity . " The algorithm on Instagram , Facebook and TikTok is designed to hold your attention and engage you as much as possible , " Plackett says . " So remember to have breaks . " In 2018 a decade of data analysed by leading memory psychologists at Stanford University found that people who frequently engaged with multiple online platforms had reduced memory and attention spans . " Instead , use it as an opportunity to think , ' Right , that was n't helpful ' and observe how you were feeling in a compassionate way , " Plackett says . " Making yourself feel guilty is n't going to change your behaviour . " " Before engaging in an argument or debate on social media , stop and think : what 's the purpose of this ? How beneficial is it to you ? " Hepburn says . " It 's very easy to see a comment and respond to it immediately , but you 're very unlikely to change people 's opinions online . " Adults who post frequently on social media are at greater risk of developing mental health problems than those who passively view content , according to a recent study by researchers at UCL . Analysis of data from more than 15,000 British adults who answered questions on their use of social media and mental wellbeing revealed that those who posted daily on social media had more mental health problems than those who never posted . There was no evidence of an association between viewing content frequently and mental health problems , however . These findings suggest that there is a clear distinction between active and passive social media use , explains Plackett , who led the study . " Public posting , which includes putting things out on X or posting out on Instagram can be more stressful than just looking through your phone , when it comes to our mental health in adulthood , " she says . " There 's nothing inherently wrong with looking at images and videos on social media -- and they 're not always necessarily harmful . But often , doing so can be at the expense of engaging in something more active , whether that 's physically or socially , " Plackett says . " What we do see in a lot of the surveys and existing data is that people want to spend less time online and feel like it 's a waste of their time . But they 're still compelled to keep scrolling . " Plackett believes that to combat this " mindless scrolling " , the over-40s need to be more aware of the options available to them , such as muting their notifications and blocking users . Younger generations know how to customise their experience on these apps , but middle-aged users do n't tend to , she says . By educating themselves on how these various features work , middle-aged users will be able to avoid the draw of opening their social media apps as frequently . They 're also less likely to run the risk of engaging with something emotionally distressing . The University of British Columbia found in a recent study that using social media intentionally can improve wellbeing . Users were encouraged to actively engage with friends by commenting or sending direct messages rather than passively scrolling . They also muted or unfollowed accounts that " triggered envy or negative self-comparisons " . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'forced out of Downing Street' involves a passive construction where 'out of' is followed by a noun phrase ('Downing Street'), not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object in the active counterpart that functions as a causee participating in an event described by a VP[-ing] predicate. Therefore, it does not meet the criteria for the transitive out of -ing construction.

LONDON -- The U.K. , along with the rest of the world , may be on the brink of climate disaster . If the worst happens , Whitehall is going to want a little bit of warning . So it is turning to scientific experts for help -- and to a government-backed center for innovative research which also happens to be the legacy left by one of the most controversial figures in recent U.K. political history . Advertisement Advertisement Scientists , assisted with millions in government funding , are about to embark on a mission to set up an " early warning system " for two so-called climate change ' tipping points ' : critical thresholds which , if breached , could plunge Britain and much of the world into a new reality of extreme weather and food insecurity . The ? 81 million , multi-year scheme could deploy robots -- dubbed WALL-E by some experts , in honor of Pixar 's robotic environmental hero -- to monitor the impact of climate change in the Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic . The cash would also be used for supercomputer models of historic climate data . It will all be led by the Advanced Research and Invention Agency ( ARIA ) , an independent body funded by the government and founded at the instigation of former Downing Street adviser Dominic Cummings , Boris Johnson 's top aide until he was forced out of Downing Street in a swirl of ignominy in 2020 . ARIA has a remit to carry out research considered " too speculative , too hard , or too interdisciplinary to pursue elsewhere , " according to its own mission statement . This includes work on prospective climate disasters . " It is incumbent on governments to think the unthinkable about what might happen , " said Laurie Laybourn , a researcher on climate and security at the Institute for Public Policy Research , a think tank . Full details of the project will be announced in early 2025 . Advertisement Advertisement But the aim is to monitor for changes in ocean circulation , temperature , and ice melt -- driven by global warming -- that could herald the collapse of the subpolar gyre ( SPG . ) The U.K. , along with the rest of the world , may be on the brink of climate disaster . Benjamin Cremel/Getty Images That system of marine currents plays a critical role in maintaining northern Europe 's temperate climate . The project will also assess the linked risk of the Greenland ice sheet collapsing . If there are signs the SPG is about to collapse , it would tell anyone paying attention that potentially existential changes to global conditions could be on on their way . There is still significant scientific uncertainty , but some climate models anticipate that SPG collapse could happen as soon as 2040 , resulting in colder , snowier winters and hotter summers in the U.K. and Europe , while potentially disrupting monsoon rains that are vital for food security in west Africa . Ultimately , the goal is to create a permanent monitoring system that would alert policymakers if a tipping point was coming -- buying governments and their populations vital time to prepare . Sarah Bohndiek , one of the two scientists leading the climate change program at ARIA , warned the world was less prepared for climate tipping points than it had been for COVID-19 . Advertisement Advertisement " We saw the devastating societal and economic consequences of the coronavirus , but also the speed with which we were able to respond and start delivering vaccination and delivering medical care , " Bohndiek told POLITICO . " What would happen if we cross one of these climate tipping points ? Well , actually , we do n't have the same level of preparedness that we had for the pandemic . " But warning signs over the SPG could be just the first stage of a still bigger tipping point : the breakdown of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation ( AMOC ) ocean current . A recent IPPR report , written by Laybourn , the climate and security specialist , concluded that AMOC collapse would lead to such extreme cold that it " would effectively wipe out crop-growing in the U.K. " Its wider effects could cause " catastrophic losses to key crops globally , " the report said . The paper criticized the government for failing to take account of climate tipping points when assessing national security risks and strategy . Advertisement Advertisement Laybourn welcomed the idea of an early warning system . If a tipping point is approaching " we need as much warning as we can , " he said . A government spokesperson said : " We continue to support fundamental research into climate risks , such as the work being conducted by both the Met Office and ARIA , as part of our record-breaking ? 20.4 billion backing for U.K. research and development . " There is still significant scientific uncertainty , but some climate models anticipate that SPG collapse could happen as soon as 2040 . Carl Court/Getty Images Gemma Bale , Bohndiek 's co-director on the early warning system project , described the research as " edge-of-the-possible stuff . " " What we want to do over the five years of our program is to demonstrate that it could be possible , " said Bale . " Maybe we 'll have something that looks like an early warning system at the end of five years . But maybe we 'll have just changed the conversation so people are thinking : ' This is what we need to do to actually build that system -- and take these risks really seriously . ' " The challenges are technical as well as scientific , said Bohndiek . Robotic measuring instruments -- the ones she likens to WALL-E -- would have to operate for years in the depths of the ocean or out on the wastes of the Greenland ice sheet in the middle of an Arctic winter . Bohndiek and Bale , both founding directors at ARIA , have a background in medical physics , not climate science . They have asked top climate scientists already working on the problem for proposals to design the early warning system , as well as specialists in sensor technology . The agency also wants to work with social scientists who can then help convert the findings into policy recommendations . Advertisement Advertisement The chosen " creators " -- ARIA speak for researchers -- will take the project forward early next year . Tim Lenton , professor of climate change at the University of Exeter , is one of those who has submitted a proposal . An SPG collapse , if it happened , could unfold " quite quickly ... in the space of a decade , " he said . The costs of government investing in an early warning system now is " trivial compared to what you can save in terms of damages , " he added . But if the unthinkable happened , and the SPG early-warning system was triggered , what could Whitehall actually do ? " You 'd start with the basics , " said Lenton . " So , snowier , harsher winters -- let 's get some more salt . Let 's think more like British Columbia and how they cope with their winters . How do we make the rail network more resilient ? How do we cope with more heating demand ? " Advertisement The ? 81 million , multi-year scheme could deploy robots to monitor the impact of climate change in the Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic . Drew Angerer/Getty Images In more extreme scenarios , ministers would have to ask , " What kind of agriculture we can credibly maintain and how do we support farmers to keep doing it ? " Lenton said . " Forewarned is forearmed . " In the more unlikely scenario of a full-scale AMOC collapse , those early warnings would demand even more drastic action from governments around the world . Laybourn describes AMOC collapse -- and its knock-on effects on agriculture and society -- as a " planetary-scale cataclysm . " " Hyperbole is a feature of our age -- but these are appropriate words for this , " he said . |

Newport is a city that breathes . Carving through its centre is the Usk , a tidal river whose banks inflate and deflate over the course of the day . Depending on when you observe it , the river can look completely different . One minute it 's animated and reaching towards your toes , the next it 's revealing its muddy banks , naked and shrinking from view . The city 's music scene has experienced similar contractions . At its modern peak of the mid-to-late- ' 90s , the small city near the Wales-England border ( population : around 150,000 ) was dubbed " the new Seattle " by the New York Times -- such was the prominence of bands Feeder , 60 Ft . Dolls and Dub War , along with a host of venues including the legendary TJ 's . The city 's music scene continued to thrive into the new millennium , birthing nationally established acts including Skindred and Goldie Lookin Chain . However , during the early 2010s , a decline set in . TJ 's closed in 2011 and , in 2013 , a controversial merger saw the University of Wales , Newport become part of the University of South Wales . All arts courses ( along with their sizable student population ) moved out of the city , with the remaining few courses shifting their focus to " entrepreneurialism " . However , to hear members of Newport 's music scene tell it , the city 's music scene is resurging with the opening of multiple new venues and a growing crop of young bands . " It 's the best I 've seen it for years , " says Sam Dabb , owner of Newport venue Le Pub and former Welsh liaison to the Music Venue Trust . " It 's got to be 15 years since it felt this buzzing . That 's when the uni was still open , losing it was a terrible decision and a massive blow . " " Everyone 's killing it on the smaller venue level right now " -- Joe Wag , The Cab Advertisement Studies have shown that students have a sizable impact on city centre demographics . According to one estimate , students were responsible for an average of 44 per cent of population growth in English and Welsh city centres between 2001-2011 . Despite the enforced exodus of young , live music-hungry arts students , under Dabb 's stewardship since 2012 , Le Pub has grown into a Newport institution whose 100-capacity main room has , just this year , hosted the likes of Benefits , Welly and Welsh acts such as HMS Morris and Cerys Hafana . Indie pop four-piece Murder Club were born within the Le Pub ecosystem : several members have worked for the venue and they use its downstairs practice rooms to rehearse . " Le Pub has helped since the very beginning , " the band tell NME . " We had our first ever practice there during lockdown and we would n't be anywhere without it . " Other notable acts that frequently play Le Pub include The Nightmares , goth rockers signed to Venn Records and recent tourmates of Creeper and Funeral For A Friend , as well as R1-backed emo-punks Failstate . Both bands are playing a role in continuing Wales ' fertile lineage of 21st century post-hardcore and emo . Just across the road from Le Pub sits the Corn Exchange . The 500-capacity venue opened its doors at the start of 2024 , with a show headlined by recent Sub Pop signees The Bug Club , who hail from the nearby town of Caldicot . The venue was constructed with an aim of providing the city with a mid-sized venue , following the closure of the long-standing Newport Centre , and is run by a group of volunteer directors , who operate as part of a not-for-profit Community Benefit Society . This model is becoming increasingly commonplace in the UK , with the number of community-owned enterprises in the country increasing by 49.5 percent over the last five years . Funeral for a Friend playing Corn Exchange . Credit : Coal Poet Media Sam Dabb is one of these volunteer directors , along with Emma Stowell-Corten , who is also Newport City Council 's Cabinet Member for Culture and Communication . Her role , which involves formulating a practical vision for the city 's cultural development , is the first time that there 's ever been a Cabinet Member with ' culture ' in their title on the Newport Council -- which she describes as " a good signal for how serious we 're taking all of this " . Bolstering this support from the council is the city 's Shared Prosperity Fund , which helped the Corn Exchange get off the ground , plus an additional 25 percent rates relief for leisure venues . An initiative that began during the pandemic to offer business rates reductions , it comes atop the national 40 percent figure set by Welsh Government . National bodies have also played their part , such as Creative Wales , who 've supported 17 grassroots Welsh venues , including several in Newport , via its Music Revenue Fund . Looking a bit further underground ( although the collaborative-minded Newport music scene would baulk at such underground/popular distinctions ) , there 's The Cab . Playing host to an intriguing blend of community theatre and hardcore punk , The Cab has rapidly become Wales ' key punk venue since its opening in 2021 . The " small , family-run community space " , as venue owner Joe Wag describes it , it has played host to numerous touring bands , including overseas hardcore acts like Spy , Restraining Order and Conservative Military Image . Advertisement Wag stresses that The Cab is " big on allowing under-18s in " . This has allowed the venue to nurture a wave of young bands , many of which are now established on the fertile UK hardcore scene , including Violent Offence and Deprivation of Liberty . " Your standard gig here is 60 people who are all mates , " Wag explains . " We 're completely non-profit so we try to keep everything as cheap as possible . A standard local gig we try to keep under a tenner , then it 's four cans for a tenner at the bar . " No matter who you speak to about music in Newport , phrases like ' not for profit ' are consistent . It 's a community-conscious , proudly working-class city , described by Stowell-Corten as " a place where things are made " . From its role in the still-celebrated Chartist movement to its once-booming docks and steelworks , Newport 's identity is bound up in the idea that it 's a place where things are crafted out of nothing but their raw materials . Newport prides itself on overcoming odds in order to create something beautiful . The nationwide picture for music venues is undeniably gloomy : according to the Night-Time Industries Association , in 2023 at least 125 music venues -- 16 percent of the country 's total grassroots music venues -- shut their doors . Just last month , The Moon in nearby Cardiff announced its immediate closure , which has left a gaping hole within the Welsh live music ecosystem . But the various players of Newport 's music scene retain a dogged optimism . " Everyone 's killing it on the smaller venue level right now , " enthuses Joe Wag . Sam Dabb even suggests that " we 're heading into another golden era . " Theirs are simultaneously optimistic but down-to-earth perspectives , ones that sum up this storied and defiant city . |

This best-dressed list was a hotly contested debate among The Telegraph 's fashion editors . We decided from the beginning that it should n't just feature those whose style shouted loudest this year -- yes , Sienna Miller looked sensational in all her boho revival looks , and no man 's geography teacher knits have been more dissected than Daniel Craig 's . But we eventually decided that our list should focus on those characters who took a less manufactured , more personal and imaginative route with their wardrobes , whether that 's on red carpets , at race meetings , on the political stage or the social circuit . Fashion remains one of the greatest vehicles for standing out from the crowd and sending a message in today 's image-saturated world , whether you 're a reluctant political wife making your entrance on the world stage ( we thought Lady Starmer stepped up to the sartorial challenge impeccably ) or a prince seeking to rebel within the confines of regal convention ( hello to Wills ' beard ) . So here is our choice of the people who rose most impressively to the challenge ... Zara Tindall was once the royal tabloids loved to chronicle for her partying and penchant for a tongue piercing -- you may recall how her **25;1630;TOOLONG hands were compared to Kate Middleton 's pristine French manicure when their engagements were announced within weeks of one another back in 2019 . Now , however , the 43-year old regularly appears on the front pages looking more polished and sleek than ever before . Her glow-up has involved hair and make-up upgrades while a wardrobe makeover has been orchestrated by discreet stylist Annie Miall . This year , Tindall 's race day ensembles have been particular highlights , from elegant coats by the likes of Laura Green and Claire Mischevani at Cheltenham to a gorgeous line-up of puff-sleeved dresses by Rebecca Vallance and Anna Mason at Royal Ascot . Refreshingly , Tindall remains reassuringly down to earth . When I interviewed her earlier this year , she told me that her mother , the Princess Royal , had always taught her the " importance of having good-quality clothing that keeps you warm and comfortable outdoors " . Aged 68 , Lesley Manville has had her most experimental fashion year to date . Encouraged by her stylist , Steph Wilson , she said yes to " riskier " fashion choices -- semi-sheer tops , or spliced print dresses -- on the red carpet . Her subsequent fashion campaign with luxury label Loewe went viral ; the national treasure posed in Bekonscot Model Village , towering over Britain 's landmarks in Jonathan Anderson 's larger than life designs . She worked those Loewe looks in real life too -- from Anderson 's cult " post-it " dress , to a custom draped gown at the Venice Film Festival that was positively statuesque . She 's come a long way since the dowdy jumpers of her " Mum " era . For a variety of reasons , it had likely never crossed Lady Starmer 's mind when we entered 2024 that she might end up on The Telegraph Magazine 's best dressed list . Yet here we are -- her wardrobe has been one of the most commented on in recent political history , and not just by fashion editors . Highs included the perfectly-pitched red Me+Em dress that she wore as she arrived at 10 Downing Street following her husband 's election victory and the polka dot Edeline Lee co-ord that she wore with suitably large sunglasses as she made her debut on the front row at London Fashion Week . Clearly Lady Starmer enjoys style -- which is a good thing , because the British fashion industry is on its knees , and has never needed an ambassador in her position more . From princess-y chiffon dresses to trompe l'oeil ties , Lashana Lynch can do it all . She 's the year 's greatest fashion chameleon and you could not guess , ahead of any red carpet appearance , whether she might fancy herself today more in a leather corseted minidress , or an undone shirt with Adidas trainers . It 's this adaptability and resistance to being over-styled to a set theme by a prescriptive industry image maker , that makes Lynch so endearing to watch from a fashion perspective . She also thinks outside the box , shining a spotlight on under the radar labels such as Ottolinger and Lurline . Claudia Winkleman 's commitment to a monochrome palette is rare in the world of television -- her on-screen wardrobe is a sleek palate cleanser amid the more-is-more costumes on Strictly . It 's a look that is uniquely her own , although she mixes it up with some unexpected influences for each series . Currently it 's the 1970s singer Demis Roussos , with a little Kris Kardashian , " but only when she 's on holiday " , says Sinead McKeefry , Winkleman 's stylist of 18 years . " It 's always a bit tongue in cheek . " Ronnie Corbett and Madonna in her Guy Ritchie era have appeared on the mood board for her Traitors wardrobe . What 's consistent is the ease with which she wears her clothes , whether it 's a Saint Laurent blazer or Decathlon leggings ; she looks polished , yet comfortable -- no wonder we want to emulate it . The ultimate British drama queen , Rosamund Pike 's style in 2024 has been as chameleonic as her acting roles . One Saturday back in February , she graced the front row of the Molly Goddard show by day in a playful but chic ruffled mini dress , navy blazer and Mary-Janes . Just hours later , she was at a pre-Baftas party in a **26;1657;TOOLONG ensemble by Erdem , consisting of elbow-length leather gloves and a delicate blush dress . Elsewhere Pike , guided by stylist Leith Clark , has brought her idiosyncratic glamour to looks as diverse as swishy chiffon Dior , an iridescent Jean Paul Gaultier by Simone Rocha skirt suit and an ultra-jazzy sequinned jumpsuit at ABBA Voyage -- the woman has range . She plays a Queen on-screen but off-screen , Golda Rosheuvel exudes an equally majestic presence . Where so many play it safe on the red carpet , she is fearlessly bold but always with beautiful results , whether it 's the Cadbury-purple Naeem Khan feathered gown she chose for the NAACP Image Awards Dinner in March or the shirt , tie and rose-emblazoned dress by Erdem which she donned for the Harper 's Bazaar Women of the Year awards in November . But even Rosheuvel 's more everyday looks convey an acute sense of her own aesthetic , be it the scarlet cape and grey balloon trousers worn at Roksanda 's London Fashion Week show in February or the printed denim coat and trainers she championed at Wimbledon . This was the year we reached peak Method Dressing ( see Wicked stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo in fantastical pink and green creations and Challengers lead Zendaya in every iteration of " tennis inspired " outfit you can imagine ) but it was director Sam Taylor Johnson who exhibited the cool and calm way to do it while promoting her Amy Winehouse film , Back to Black . You guessed it , she wore mostly black -- but not in an OTT costume-y way . Her interpretation was infused with all the nonchalance and ease of a 57-year-old who knows her own mind and taste and feels no need to look like she 's vying for attention . She displayed great versatility in her black choices , which have ranged from leather trousers and tailored coats to ballerina-like dresses with heart-stamped heels . Chic and laidback , she 'd make anyone want to go back to the black in their wardrobes time and again . She may be the doyenne of the Mayfair fine dining scene , but Samyukta Nair , founder of the LSL Capital group of restaurants ( Nipotina , Socca , Koyn and Michelin-starred Jamavar ) -- is just as fluent in fashion . There 's no stylist guiding her choices , just a good eye , and as a result , her wardrobe is packed with the most covetable kind of investment pieces by Khaite , The Row and Chlo ? mixed in with vintage Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent . It 's not all ultra-high-end -- or pared-back and minimal . As you 'd imagine , she is often playing host , and her occasionwear line-up includes dresses by Rixo and Reformation , Simone Rocha as well as Indian labels Anamika Khanna and Arpita Mehta . It 's a mix , but she makes it work . A tastemaker in every sense of the word . Emerald Fennell can do it all : not just act , produce , direct and write to Oscar-winning standards , but she can also hold her own on the red carpet . She knows what suits her : awards ceremonies call for old Hollywood-style goddess gowns , often with some kind of cape detail or plunging neckline for added drama -- Jenny Packham and Giorgio Armani are among her go-tos . For cocktail events , she prefers tailoring , but always with a twist : a blazer paired with an ultra-high-waisted column maxiskirt , or a black suit with a red 1990s-style crop top -- there 's usually a cheeky flash of skin , but never too much . Her real ace though , is that unlike so many others in her field , she never looks like she 's playing a part . This is just Emerald doing Emerald -- and it 's fabulous . The ever-busy Prince of Wales took on another patronage in 2024 , becoming the new face of Great British Beards . William 's stubble arrived in the summer and has stayed put since -- much to the dismay of nine-year-old Princess Charlotte , who the prince said was in " floods of tears " when he first grew it . William was right to resist the request to shave it off ; it has served to add rugged charm and a level of laddish relatability to all of his outfits . His actual clothing choices have seemed more considered too . From promoting local labels such as Isle of Wight indie Rapanui on his autumn tour of South Africa , to emulating his father 's trick for wearing fun ( but not novelty ) ties at the Euros , his style offered more talking points than perhaps ever before . It was only in early November that Jonathan Bailey came to the attention of the Telegraph 's fashion desk when pictures landed of the Oxfordshire-born star on the promotional circuit for Wicked wearing a pair of Giuliva Heritage " short-shorts " in Sydney -- eat your heart out Paul Mescal ( until that moment the king of the thigh-grazing style statement ) . On closer examination , Bailey is the man to look to for an effortless ability to go from Versace sequins and Dolce & Gabbana satin shirts ( think Scarface vibes ) to relaxed knitwear and timeless loafers . Bailey also makes a convincing case for having one 's mankles on show . Befitting of Mr Anna Wintour , as he is unofficially known , Bill Nighy knows the power of finding your formula and sticking to it . At 74 , Nighy demonstrates just how deftly he knows himself and what suits him through his sense of style . Much like Wintour , Nighy relies on certain staples -- a sharp , severe black suit ( usually by Dunhill ) , black framed spectacles and usually an open collar white shirt . Nothing radical , nothing boundary pushing , but it 's a masterclass in precise tailoring and working to your advantage . Nighy makes the use of that slender 6ft 2 frame with exacting cuts and silhouette , lean as you like and always immaculate . He tends to deviate slightly -- occasionally a chalk stripe , sometimes a less formal variant of blue blazer , denim shirt and knitted tie -- but the tenets remain the same . Years ago , when I happened to style Nighy for a shoot , the edict came through that he 'd wear anything and everything , as long as it was a dark Dunhill suit . Recently the British actor has grown his beard out to rather shaggy proportions ; clearly Wintour , like the late Queen with Prince Harry for his wedding , has given her sartorial blessing . It 's all about the details for Sir Paul , not just in his work but in the way he dresses himself . Obviously he wears a suit well -- his business is built on tailoring , and even after 50 years , he remains the best advertisement for his products . Smith 's is usually navy , worn with a white shirt and no tie . There are variations on that theme too though : a zip-up blouson with a darker shirt , for instance , or a chore jacket , or a pair of windowpane check trousers . He sets a quiet example of how any man can update and evolve his look , without straying into garish or try-hard territory . Chefs are not exactly famed for their exquisite style -- even household names like Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay are more likely to look dodgy than dapper . But Jason Atherton is defying the stereotype . His look is far from ostentatious but he always projects cool and crisp elegance -- The Telegraph magazine 's editor was especially impressed by his choice of cream polo knit at an event in early November . Elsewhere you 'll spot Atherton in similar quiet luxury knitwear , expensive-looking denim and impeccably tailored suiting -- he really makes the case for having a carefully curated wardrobe which creates a streamlined uniform . Slick grooming helps , too -- see that perfectly seasoned salt and pepper beard . It could n't be more apt that Atherton 's latest opening is Row on 5 , nestled at the heart of London 's menswear mecca , Savile Row . The competition to be the most experimental midlife trend pusher of 2024 has been tough . On paper , it 's been Daniel Craig 's year -- his transformation from sharp Bond figure to geography teacher on acid , courtesy of the designer house Loewe , has made headline news . But Jude Law 's work in this field has been more subtle , and is perhaps more likely to be copied at home . Quiet updates to the actor 's look -- such as wearing vests and silk scarves with suits , rather than shirts and ties , or gelling his hair in a new sweep -- have offered the same flamboyant fashion flair , without anyone wondering whether he 's in costume for a new role . Of all the football pundits out there , Ian Wright surely has the most distinctive style . He 's an example of how well-chosen , distinctive specs can really anchor a look , but it does n't end there . His love of hats -- beanies to baseball caps -- never looks try-hard ; this has earned him a role as the face of M&S men 's headwear . Pulling it all together is an array of smart-casual jackets and gilets worn over dark shirts and turtlenecks . His wardrobe is practical , warm , and most of all , looks great on television . The dashing Casely-Hayford cut his fashion teeth learning tailoring from his late father , the peerless Joe Casely-Hayford . The paterfamilias was a Savile Row star and pioneering figure in menswear , and Charlie Casely-Hayford carries that mantle forward in the pair 's namesake label . " I 'm a big believer in uniform , " Casely-Hayford once told me once . He has made it his mission to take the stuffiness out of tailoring and make it more easy and everyday . " A suit can be relaxed , I never really wear one in a ' formal ' way ; it 's always mixed with casual elements , " says the 6ft 6 designer , demonstrating how to dress his imposing frame in soft-structured , sanguine jackets and loose trousers , worn with T-shirts and chunky boots rather than traditional shirts and polished Oxfords . It 's a refreshing , relevant approach that more young men would do well to emulate . Strangely , for an actor that 's been around for years , Patel 's never really had a moment in the style spotlight , watching other British thesps like Andrew Garfield and Eddie Redmayne catch the flashbulbs instead . But with his recent round of red carpets , 34-year old Patel has been steadfastly consistent in his low key , minimal outfits that look entirely on-point for what the average 30-something British guy wants to wear . Cue shackets , easy workwear , blousy Giorgio Armani suits and the occasional classic tuxedo . There 's nothing particularly remarkable in that , but his everyman , laid back approach to dressing is precisely the kind of weekend uniform that most men would happily adopt . And extra kudos to Patel for opting for an independent British-Singaporean label for his big directorial debut Monkey Man , at his premiere in LA , choosing a sage green , soft-fit , workwear-esque suit from label Dzojchen . " Anything 's an accessory if you 're fabulous enough , " declared the effervescent Mr Moore to the Telegraph earlier this year , and by jolly he means it . The writer and Antiques Roadshow presenter has quietly amassed a 400k following on Instagram thanks to his charming insights into antiques , as well as his thoughts on style . So much so that earlier this year Loewe came knocking , inviting him to its Paris show , which he attended wearing a vintage Austrian jacket . The 58-year old , who splits his time between Newcastle and Venice , is inspired by the richness and craftsmanship of La Serenissima , enlisting vintage scarves as decorative belts , adorning lapels with brooches and trinketry and scouring the city 's spellbinding calle for vintage capes . He 's also a staunch supporter of British and Italian made . Moore also makes a convincing case for men enjoying the antiquated art of dress up , even if it 's simply adding a flash of bold pocket square or ornate scarf . Who needs another navy suit when Moore makes the case for men dressing with peacocking joie-de-vivre so elegantly ? |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes the Duke's withdrawal from an event due to a row, without involving a causer causing a causee to move or preventing them from an action. The phrase 'pull out of spending Christmas' does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction as it lacks the necessary elements and interpretations.

Back in 1992 , Queen Elizabeth II endured the lowest point of her reign after a year of royal scandal and turmoil which she famously dubbed her ' annus horribilis ' . Charles was at war with Diana , Andrew separated from Sarah , Anne divorced , Windsor Castle went up in flames and public opinion turned against the royals . Now , 32 years later , a barrage of bad news in 2024 has caused the Royal Family to face what some have called its deepest crisis since the 1936 abdication of Edward VIII . Prince William , who lost his mother aged 15 and walked behind her coffin six days later , said in November that this year was ' the hardest year of my life ' . Katherine , Princess of Wales 's and the King 's cancer diagnoses , have been the biggest blows to the family , which has caused the ancient institution to now look threadbare . It comes on top of two devastating losses for the family in the past three years - Prince Philip in April 2021 , aged 99 , and Elizabeth II , the longest reigning British monarch in history , in September 2022 , aged 96 . And matters are not helped with disillusioned Prince Harry having been based in the US since 2020 and Prince Andrew being disgraced in 2019 because of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal . Here , MailOnline looks back at 1992 before fast-forwarding to 2024 to see if this year really was the Royal Family 's ' annus horribilis ' . A barrage of bad news in 2024 - including King Charles 's cancer diagnosis - has caused the Royal Family to face what some have called its deepest crisis since the 1936 abdication of Edward VIII Prince William , who lost his mother aged 15 and walked behind her coffin six days later , said in November ( pictured ) that this year was ' the hardest year of my life ' The Royal Family 's original ' annus horribilis ' ( latin for horrible year ) , happened in 1992 after the late Queen 's children Prince Charles , Prince Andrew and Princess Anne all announced the ends of their respective marriages that year . There were also leaked phone conversations from Princess Diana and Prince Charles to their lovers - known as the ' Squidgygate Tapes ' and ' Camillagate , ' respectively . And with the publishing of Andrew Morton 's biography Diana : Her True Story , which revealed Charles had been cheating on Diana with Camilla Parker Bowles , the facade of perfection in the Royal Family seemed to break . The royal separations became fodder for critics of the monarchy like then-Labour MP Dennis Skinner , who said : ' It 's high time we stopped this charade of swearing allegiance to the queen and her heirs and successors when we do not know from time to time who they are . ' Then on November 20 that year , a fire caused major damage to Windsor Castle - destroying 115 rooms , including nine state rooms . Queen Elizabeth II delivering her famous ' annus horribilis ' speech to guests at a Corporation of London Guildhall luncheon on November 24 , 1992 , to mark her 40th year on the throne Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips divorced in 1992 . They are pictured in 1986 Prince Andrew separated from Sarah , Duchess of York , in 1992 . They are pictured last month Charles and Diana 's separation was revealed in 1992 ( pictured that year in South Korea ) Servicemen worked tirelessly for 15 hours using 36 pumps to spray 1.5 million gallons of water Four days later , in a speech marking 40 years on the throne , she said that ' 1992 is not a year on which I shall look back with undiluted pleasure ' In total , the fire destroyed 115 rooms in the castle , including nine official staterooms Her Majesty was forced to watch as firefighters battled against the inferno sweeping through her childhood home and the largest inhabited castle in the world . It is thought that the blaze started in Queen Victoria 's Private Chapel where a faulty spotlight ignited a curtain next to the altar . Author and historian Sarah Gristwood said : ' It was like slap , slap , slap across the face of the Royal Family , it just did n't stop . ' The Queen herself is reported to have said to a friend , " Where did I go wrong ? " . ' The marriage scandals and mishaps seemed to shatter the royal myth , and just four days after the fire , she gave what would come to be known as the annus horribilis speech . His team agreed the world would learn that the King had cancer in contrast to centuries of royal tradition , but not the type or location , beyond confirmation that it was not prostate cancer . Since the reveal , Charles , 76 , has continued to fight on valiantly and carry out his duties while undergoing treatment . King Charles III reads cards and messages sent by well-wishers following his cancer diagnosis , in the 18th Century Room of the Belgian Suite at Buckingham Palace on February 21 Charles met cancer patients on April 30 on his return to public duties following his diagnosis Police officers stand outside The London Clinic where Kate and the King stayed after surgery King Charles III departs the London Clinic on January 29 following treatment for an enlarged prostate which helped the medical team discover a form of cancer He stopped public engagements initially after beginning treatment but continued doing paperwork and his weekly one-on-one sessions with the UK Prime Minister . In May , during one of his first public engagements , he made a surprise visit to an army barracks where he joked about being ' allowed out of my cage ' . His 11-day 30,000-mile round-trip tour of Australia and Samoa in October was hanging in the balance for months with doctors worried about the grueling 24-hour journey and the punishing time difference . New Zealand was removed from the itinerary following medical advice . The health issues mean the King now reportedly travels with two of his personal doctors and a supply of his own blood , to ensure an exact match is at hand in the event a transfusion is required . A source told Rebecca English : ' Even when tweaks were made to his diary , it was n't because he was too sick , but simply because doctors advised that he needed to be careful in case his diminished immunity made him more vulnerable . ' He had to take a little time out at the start and had some more rest times built into his programme because of his treatment cycles , but that 's it . It 's pretty remarkable when you think about it . ' Meanwhile , Princess Kate was admitted to hospital for abdominal surgery on January 16 . Aides let it be known her condition was ' non-cancerous ' . And although the Princess of Wales wished to keep her recovery as private as possible , in the absence of an explanation or updates , a series of conspiracy theories took flight around the world . Spanish TV reported that the Princess was in a coma , while a rumour emerged from South American stating that she was either in hiding following a disastrous haircut or failed cosmetic surgery . After almost two weeks of hysteria and wild speculation , the ' Where is Kate ? ' brigade had an answer of sorts on March 10 as Kensington Palace released a photograph of Kate and her children . Concerns were raised that the first picture of the Princess of Wales to be released after her abdominal surgery was manipulated - with Kate taking the blame for this on March 11 It was not until March 22 that Kate revealed in a deeply personal video recording that post ? operative tests had found cancer present and that she had begun preventative chemotherapy The front page of the Daily Mail at a shop in London , reporting on Kate 's diagnosis Due to the disease , the Princess has mostly kept out of the limelight but made a glorious return to public life with her family at the Trooping the Colour ceremony in June Prince William ( pictured in June ) , has been having to shoulder more responsibility due to the health battles of his father and wife But instead of calming the speculation down , it sent the commentariat into overdrive due to inconsistencies with the photograph due to minor editing . Instead of a royal statement , the Princess issued a first-person apology via Twitter/X , confessing that it had been her who had made the tweaks . The speculation came to an abrupt halt at 6pm on March 22 when the Princess appeared in a pre-recorded video message to say she was undergoing treatment for cancer . It was officially confirmed that the chemotherapy had started in late February . Due to the disease , the Princess has mostly kept out of the limelight and her public appearances have been few and far between . Although Sarah , Duchess of York , is not a frontline royal any more , she became the third member of the family in quick succession to announce a medical procedure at the beginning of 2024 . It came after she revealed a diagnosis of malignant melanoma , a form of skin cancer . It was her second cancer diagnosis within a year , having been diagnosed with breast cancer in the summer which led to her undergoing a mastectomy and subsequent reconstructive surgery . Sarah Ferguson pictured leaving King Edward VII 's hospital in Marylebone on January 24 following a malignant melanoma diagnosis Sarah Ferguson shared this photo on Instagram post after her skin cancer diagnosis She had discovered an early form of breast cancer during a routine mammogram screening . The Duchess of York plays a supporting role for the royals and is the mother of Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice . ' Naturally another cancer diagnosis has been a shock , but I 'm in good spirits and grateful for the many messages of love and support , ' Sarah said on Instagram . Due to ill-health in the family , some commentators have claimed there is a ' Prince Harry-shaped hole ' in the Royal Family . Charles 's slimmed-down monarchy mantra means ' the pressure is on a much smaller team ' to perform , but it has been placed in jeopardy because of the health issues . However , despite the need for Harry having never been so great , the disillusioned prince continues to wallow in California . Although Harry returned to the UK after making an emergency dash from the US to see the King following his cancer diagnosis . The duke cleared his diary and made the journey alone , with Meghan and their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet remaining at home in California . But there was no reconciliation between Harry and his brother the Prince of Wales during the visit , after the duke spent around 45 minutes at Clarence House seeing Charles . He last appeared alongside the Windsors and the Waleses at the King 's coronation , but hurried home immediately afterwards to mark his son 's fourth birthday . Prince Harry has grown estranged from Prince William ( pictured together in 2017 ) over recent years , putting further strain on the monarchy The Duke and Duchess of Sussex with their son Archie , and ( left to right ) the Queen Consort , the King , Ms Doria Ragland , Lady Jane Fellowes , Lady Sarah McCorquodale and the Prince and Princess of Wales at Windsor Castle after his christening in July 2019 William , Harry , Meghan and Charles at a Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey in 2019 Since stepping down as working royals in 2020 and moving to California with their family , the Sussexes have aired allegations and grievances against the monarchy and members of Harry 's family . The duke 's allegations against his family appeared unrelenting in the aftermath of Megxit with his Oprah interview , and , in the months following the Queen 's death , his Netflix documentary and memoir Spare . There were accusations of racism in relation to Archie 's skin tone before he was born - with the remarks in the end alleged to have come from two senior royals - and claims Kensington Palace lied to protect William over reports he allegedly bullied Harry out of the royal family . While Charles and Harry were said to still speak , William has reportedly not been in contact with his brother for an extended period of time . However , Harry previously suggested that the King 's health troubles could lead to a reconciliation with the family . Asked during an interview with ABC 's Good Morning America whether the cancer diagnosis for Charles could have a ' re-unifying effect ' , Harry replied : ' Yeah , I am sure . ' In an unexpected move in late October , William publicly named his brother in an interview about homelessness - the first time he has done so since 2018 . He recounted how their mother , the late Princess Diana , had taken both of her young sons to a homeless shelter in London . Many suggested that the public acknowledgment of his brother could be an early olive branch for better relations between the warring siblings . The monarchy took another hit in November when it was revealed King Charles makes millions out of the cash-strapped public services such as the NHS through his secretive royal finances . The revelations by the Sunday Times and Channel 4 's Dispatches that the King 's Duchy of Lancaster , along with Prince William 's Duchy of Cornwall , make a fortune from a property empire that extends to thousands of leases spread out over the country . As well as the NHS , the Ministry of Defence , local authorities and other public bodies are swelling the coffers of the Duchies . Charities -- even those where the King is patron -- are also stumping up millions , the five-month investigation of more than 5,000 landholdings and properties shows . An investigation into the private wealth of King Charles III and Prince William claimed it was ' shrouded in secrecy ' Brown stains can be seen on the ceiling of one of the Duchy of Cornwall 's properties in the Channel 4 Dispatches documentary Duchy money is private income for Charles and William on top of the Sovereign Grant , which will pay the Royal Family ? 132 million next year , up 50 per cent on this year . The revelations came as struggling Britons were hit by Chancellor Rachel Reeves 's ? 40billion tax hike budget -- and will spark renewed debate about how much tax the royals should pay , and how secretive they are about their operations . The Labour government is not instinctively sympathetic towards the monarchy . And the story was presented as a sceptical observation to the sheer amount of money that the Duchies earn . It is one of the biggest negative stories the King ( and indeed his eldest son ) have received for a while . The findings will undoubtedly sting the whole Royal Family . King Charles 's brother is an ongoing source of humiliation , due to two TV shows about the scandal being broadcast this year . Netflix rehashed the devastating Emily Maitlis interview in April , with one and a half hour TV film called Scoop . Prince Andrew 's woeful interview on Newsnight in 2019 cast him out of public life and royal duties Rufus Sewell ( left ) plays The Duke Of York in the Netflix adaption of the Newsnight interview Actor Michael Sheen ( left ) portrays the Duke Of York ( right ) in the Amazon version Emily Maitlis ( left ) is portrayed by Gillian Anderson in Netflix 's Scoop ( centre ) and Ruth Wilson in Amazon 's version A Very Royal Scandal It starred Gillian Anderson as Maitlis , Rufus Sewell as Andrew and Billie Piper as the young BBC Newsnight guest producer Sam McAlister who booked the interview . It was followed by Amazon 's version of the interview in September . A Very Royal Scandal , a three-part series released on Amazon Prime , tells the story of Maitlis 's version of events ( instead of McAlisters ) in the build up to the interview which eventually led to the Duke stepping down from public life . In the show , Ruth Wilson plays Maitlis , Clare Calbraith is McAlister and Michael Sheen is Andrew . Both series garnered reasonable reviews and pulled in decent viewing figures , but were seen by the Firm as a reminder that past mistakes can still come back to haunt them . Another tragedy to befall the Royal Family in 2024 , came in February when Thomas Kingston , the husband of their daughter Lady Gabriella Kingston , was found dead at his parents ' home . Lady Gabriella , 43 , is the King 's second cousin as they are both great-grandchildren of King George V. Her parents are Prince Michael of Kent , 82 , and Princess Michael of Kent , 79 . An inquest into the tragedy earlier this year heard 45-year-old Mr Kingston died from a catastrophic head injury and a gun was found near his body . The financier married Lady Gabriella at St George 's Chapel , Windsor Castle , in 2019 with Queen Elizabeth II and her husband , the Duke of Edinburgh , among the guests .

They are pictured here at Cheltenham Festival in 2013 Princess Michael of Kent and Prince Michael of Kent attend the Thanksgiving Service for King Constantine of the Hellenes at St George 's Chapel , Windsor , on February 27 , 2024 He was a close friend of Pippa Matthews - the Princess of Wales 's sister - and the pair were said to have dated in 2011 . Lady Gabriella , who has worked as an arts and travel director for a brand company , is a writer and contributing editor . The Royal Family have rallied around her , with the Daily Mail 's Richard Eden reporting that she had moved out of the Notting Hill home she shared with her husband and back into Kensington Palace with her parents in April . Announcing his death in February , Buckingham Palace described Kingston , a financier , as a ' much loved member of the family ' who was being mourned by King Charles and Queen Camilla . A friend of the couple said : ' They remained childless but were happily married until the end . ' The TV shows about Prince Andrew 's disastrous Newsnight interview were not the only problems the disgraced royal caused for his family in 2024 . The disgraced Duke of York , 64 , has long been engaged in a battle with his brother , Charles , over his ? 30million property in Windsor - Royal Lodge . The long-running family feud between the brothers over the duke 's continued residence at the 30-room mansion where he has lived for 20 years . Earlier this year the Duke of York rejected the opportunity to downsize to the nearby Frogmore Cottage , which used to be occupied by Harry and Meghan . Friends of the Duke say he has a ' cast iron ' 75-year lease from the Crown Estate . The disgraced Prince Andrew has long been engaged in a battle with his brother Charles over Royal Lodge Andrew , 64 , has insisted on staying in Royal Lodge ( pictured ) despite stepping down from official duties nearly five years ago Prince Andrew and King Charles III talk as they depart St Giles Cathedral after a Vigil in memory of Queen Elizabeth II on September 12 , 2022 , in Edinburgh As part of the deal , the prince would only have to pay ? 250 a week in rent , but he would have to maintain the property which is understood to cost around ? 400,000 a year . He also has to pay for the ten privately funded guards who patrol the grounds of the house and its 98-acre estate - costing around ? 3m a year . In October , it was revealed the King stopped paying for the security costs in a bid to drive his younger brother out of the mansion once and for all . But Andrew has stubbornly vowed to remain in the house , which he shares with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson , and the battle between the brothers has caused for some awkward family gathers . Among senior courtiers , though , his continued presence at Royal Lodge is not just an embarrassment but a persistent source of public criticism for the monarchy . To further drive home the fragility of the monarchy , Anne - lovingly known as the ' no-nonsense Princess ' - was taken to hospital in June with minor head wounds and concussion . The former Olympic equestrian was walking on her Gatcombe Park estate when she was hurt . The royal spent five days in hospital after her accident . Pictured in July on her first public engagement since the incident Princess Anne , Princess Royal , on horseback during Trooping the Colour on June 15 , 2024 A poll for 2023 found Princess Anne is the most popular member of the Royal Family Although she could n't recall how she was injured , her medical team revealed her injuries were consistent with the potential impact from a horse 's head or legs . The Princess Royal , 74 , would go on to miss nine engagements while recovering from her injury . The King 's sister is the hardest working royal in terms of annual engagements at a time when the King has cut back on events and Prince William has also taken time off to care for his wife . Towards of the end of the year Camilla endured a sticky chest infection for around a month that turned out to be a form of pneumonia . It was first discovered when she was said to be feeling particularly ' fatigued ' on November 5 when it emerged she had been forced to pull out of this year 's Remembrance events . King Charles III and Queen Camilla on a beach in Apia during their trip to Samoa on October 25 The Queen contracted her chest infection after a long haul trip to Australia and Samoa on October 24 The Queen contracted her chest infection after a long haul trip to Australia and Samoa and has pulled out a series of engagements since then , including the Royal Variety Performance , the Gladiator II premiere and the Remembrance Day service at the Cenotaph . The 77-year-old was suffering from post-viral fatigue and also had to miss the outdoor parts of the Qatari visit on December 4 after being urged by her doctors to take more time to recover . Sources stressed there was no cause for alarm , saying the chest infection had simply left the Queen ' with significantly diminished reserves of energy ' . It is understood the Queen was not taken to hospital for the pneumonia , but faced bouts of extreme tiredness . As the year was coming to an end , yet another issue surround Prince Andrew arose , this time involving , yet again , one of his personal relationships . The Duke had to pull out of spending Christmas with the Royal Family a row broke out over his relationship with alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo . There are grave concerns about the depth of Andrew 's involvement with Mr Yang who , it has emerged , referred to himself as the ' special envoy of Prince Andrew ' and was appointed by the royal as head of his Pitch@Palace China , a Dragons ' Den-style initiative from which the Duke took a cut . Andrew insists he has done nothing wrong , despite a judge raising questions about how the alleged spy could have become such a ' close confidant ' . It follows on from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and concerns over the Duke 's role as an official UK ' trade ambassador ' . Alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo , who forged links with the Duke of York Yang Tengbo ( far right ) with Andrew at an event to encourage trade between China and Britain Prince Andrew was seen driving from Royal Lodge in Windsor on December 18 Andrew with Edward at the Christmas church service in Sandringham on December 25 , 2023 The Court Circular also records Yang as having been invited into several royal residences . But the most damning revelation of recent days was the emergence of correspondence in 2021 from his ' senior advisor ' , Dominic Hampshire , found by security services on Mr Yang 's phone . Mr Hampshire emphasised the ' strength ' of the relationship with the Duke and his family , adding : ' Outside of his closest internal confidants , you sit at the very top of a tree many , many people would like to be on . ' More worryingly for palace officials , Mr Hampshire wrote that after a meeting with Andrew , they had ' wisely navigated our way around former private secretaries and we have found a way to carefully remove those people who we do n't completely trust ' . He added that ' under your guidance , we found a way to get the relevant people unnoticed in and out of the house in Windsor ' -- a reference to Royal Lodge , Andrew 's Berkshire home . There is no clue who these individuals are -- or why they would be so keen to circumvent security to smuggle people into his home . Investigations continue into what access Mr Yang had when he visited royal residences several times on Andrew 's invitation . Mr Yang , a businessman who forged close ties to the Duke of York and met senior politicians including Lord David Cameron and Baroness Theresa May , has been banned from the UK since last year . He has insisted he has ' done nothing wrong or unlawful ' , and said it is ' entirely untrue ' to claim he was involved in espionage . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object between the verb 'pulled' and 'out of', and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the construction. Instead, 'pulled out of' here seems to indicate withdrawal from an event, not causing someone to move out of or preventing someone from an action.

The Duchess of York seemingly launched an influencing career today after sharing a paid partnership post to her social media account . Sarah Ferguson , 65 , who has received treatment for two forms of cancer , took to Instagram to recommend a mental health and well-being app called Zoul , which also boasts Lottie Tomlinson , sister of One Direction 's Louis , as a partner . It comes one month after Sarah 's former husband Prince Andrew , 64 , was reportedly ' cut off ' by King Charles , 76 , marking a new low in relations between the brothers . An updated biography by acclaimed royal writer Robert Hardman , serialised by the Mail , revealed that , despite the Duke of York 's attempts to call the monarch 's bluff , Charles acted decisively . In November , Charles is thought to have instructed his Keeper of the Privy Purse , the monarchy 's finance director , to sever his beleaguered brother 's annual personal allowance - believed to be in the region of ? 1 million a year - and no longer pays for his seven-figure private security detail . The King , who has also long made clear his wish to see Andrew move out of his vast 30-room mansion at Windsor , Royal Lodge , has now placed the ball firmly back in his brother 's court . Now , Sarah , who still lives with her ex Prince Andrew , may be taking matters into her own hands with the paid partnership post for Zoul - an app that she is an ' equity partner ' for - and she will continue to ' share more of my journey with Zoul throughout 2025 ' . The Duchess of York ( pictured ) today shared a paid partnership post on Instagram for a mindfulness app called Zoul Strolling in a garden with two dogs , including a Corgi - a favourite breed of the late Queen Elizabeth - Sarah told her followers of how Zoul has helped her practise mindful habits , such as taking a moment to sit in silence . She said : ' You know , I have really found real joy and peace . It was n't cancer that kickstarted me into taking the shackles off my heart , but it was because of mindfulness and mental wellness . ' I was researching where I would get all the information about the most incredible app that you can then do a different kind of mindfulness and mental wellness , to just be , well in your heart and enjoy this very second .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Additionally, it does not exhibit either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'pulled out of joining' does not involve a causer and causee relationship as required by the construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('it tricked me out of feeling any uncomfortable hunger pangs'). The verb 'tricked' falls under the category of means to achieve a goal by deception or trickery. The NP subject 'it' (referring to the beverage) is an inanimate force, and the NP object 'me' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'feeling any uncomfortable hunger pangs'. The interpretation is prevention ('it prevented me from feeling hunger pangs by tricking me'), which aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Sign up for our free weekly newsletter for hot deals , best buys and expert reviews I would like to be emailed about offers , event and updates from Evening Standard . Read our privacy notice . Celebrities like Meghan Markle and Gwyneth Paltrow have waxed lyrical on their benefits , but juice cleanses remain controversial . They have been given a bad rap over the years - but a new dawn is here with brands who have curated these one-to-two week dietary switch-ups alongside nutritionists , health experts and dietitians . Banish notions of strangely coloured liquids for every meal out of your mind . The cold-pressed concoctions are offered alongside substantial shakes and even delicious hot soups in some cases . As long as you are smart and only do them for the days specified , it can be a great way to flush out toxins and lose a bit of weight in a healthy way . Far more than just your five-a-day , they are packed with vitamins , minerals and extra nutrients that will get you well on your way to creating healthy habits . Doing a juice cleanse for a couple of days can improve digestion , lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels , boost immunity , improve mental clarity and mood , reduce sugar cravings , give you better sleep quality , reduce inflammation , improve gut health and reduce bloating , all while leaving you with clearer , glowing skin . However , a word to the wise : they 're not for everyone . It takes extreme willpower , particularly if you are planning on socialising during a cleanse . One ES editor said just a few juices in and she was drawn to a giant chocolate cake almost immediately . But if you commit , you can reap the rewards . Over the last few weeks , the ES Best team has been putting the juice cleanses through their paces . Here are some tips and tricks we picked up along the way : Go easy in the lead up to the cleanse . Some may think to eat as much as possible but this is only going to make your life more difficult . Exercise may be a struggle so swap HIIT workouts with gentle walks . Use the opportunity for some me-time and relax with hot baths . Energy levels may be depleted so do n't overexert yourself . At the end of the cleanse , you may find that you 're less hungry . We found we had barely any appetite at all . See what we thought of the best juice cleanses below . Exalt Exalt marked my first initiation into the world of juice cleanses and is a great place to start . I first sampled the selection back in December 2021 and had another go with the cleanse in January 2023 . The brand 's juice cleanse is much freer than some of the other brands on this list in that it does n't give you a specific juice for each time of the day - bar separating the bottles by their purpose - caffeine for an energy-boost , protein for pre or post workout and the cold-pressed juice for evening time . There are also lots of flavours , both a blessing and a curse . A blessing in the sense that everyday and meal time was different , and a curse as it felt quite overwhelming when the bundle first arrived but you quickly find your favourites which helps for any follow up cleanses . Exalt has a combination of cold-pressed juices and high protein smoothies - and the latter were far more filling and made a nice break from that fruit/vegetable flavour that we found to be repetitive with some of the other brands in this list . Backed by science , each has been developed with a team of dietitians , nutritionists , and fitness experts with a combination of natural and quality ingredients . The protein is Exalt 's own triple-release blend and each component - be it the cacao or the berries - is added for its nutritional advantages and to pack antioxidants , immune-boosting or cardiorespiratory benefits into each and every one . While we were concerned about the quantity of waste that the accumulation of the plastic bottles produced by the end , 50 per cent of it is made from recycled plastic and the brand donates to ocean plastic charities with each bottle sold . They also emphasise sustainability through the supply chain . There are different bundle packs depending on your needs with more options added since our first foray with the brand . The Beautiful , Awake and Calm has seven juices targeting energy and skin , the Trial Box ( with a vegan alternative ) lets you try one of every flavour and then there 's the Break-Fast that 's made up of , you guessed it , breakfast smoothies as well as the Gym Bunny with the conocotions to supercharge your fitness routine . I tried the five-day The Exalt Life cleanse that comprised of 30 juices in total . Each day , you should have four of the diet protein smoothies and two of the cold-pressed juices that act as a supplement with the likes of collagen , adaptogens and CBD included in the formulations . Choose your cleanse from one day to two weeks . I found the quantity to be quite a lot to consume in one day and only really got round to having three of the shakes and one of the juices a day . The protein smoothies are very filling and yet , unlike most others , do n't feel heavy or stodgy . Particular highlights included the Lean Machine which was great after a workout and the Anything But Vanilla , which had a subtle vanilla taste , overnight oats , almond butter and banana . The Health Nut tasted like a chocolate Nesquik and the Berry Berry Good ( my personal favourite ) was a fresh fruity hit , while feeling substantial at the same time . Since I tried the cleanse for the first time , Zest Fest has been added to the line-up , a chocolate protein shake with the added bonus of orange . The latter was something I looked forward to each day . On the juice front , each was delicious . The Chilled AF ( that contained the CBD mentioned earlier ) was like a citrusy virgin cocktail with its combination of pineapple , orange , mango and lime . The Cherry Bomb gave a welcomed energy boost with the inclusion of 150mg of natural caffeine that will be particularly appreciated by those forgoing their traditional cup of Jo during the cleanse . The Nip & Tuck and Glow - both green juices - were super refreshing and are designed to give skin a boost from the inside out with collagen , antioxidants and more . The only niggle that I have with these juices is that they contain bits ( not pulp but like residue for the mixing ) that are n't the most pleasant . The bottles are sent on ice , have a shelf life for up to 14 days and are handmade fresh in Hackney each week . B.fresh We all know we should be eating at least five-a-day but for me , I 'm lucky if I can manage one or two - it turns out the tomato slice in Pret 's folded croissant does n't count . My mother is always trying to force veggie juices and smoothies on me during visits home , but let 's just say she has n't got the recipe down pat yet ; most of it get poured down the sink at the earliest opportunity ( sorry mum ) . So when I was asked to try B.fresh 's selection of juices , smoothies and shots , I viewed them with thinly veiled suspicion . It needs a certain kind of sorcery to make kale - worse yet , liquified kale - taste palatable in my book . Freshly made and bottled in Shropshire , these drinks will last a good few weeks in the fridge , so you can have them when you fancy . I tried the Gut Health Heroes bundle , a selection of juices , smoothies ( both 250ml ) and tumeric and ginger shots ( 70ml each ) designed to give your immune system a boost ( much needed in the current climate ) and filled with friendly cultures to support digestive health . Though the bottles are plastic , they 're all widely recyclable . This bundle is n't a replacement for food but a way to add more good stuff to your diet . I took the plunge on a Happy Greens juice with breakfast , a blitzed concoction of apple , spinach , kale and lemon , and found it actually tasted .. delicious . With vitamins now flooding my system , I added a Ginger+ shot , bursting with anti-inflammatory properties , the sharpness of the root softened with a slug of honey . Not as tasty , but over in a gulp . The Gut Health Heroes package also includes Get Up & Glow , another juice , Green Guru and Berry Boss ( both smoothies ) and Turmeric Immunity , another shot bursting with Vitamin D3 . The juices went down better than the smoothies but in fact , none were hard work . They came into their own when I 'd had a particularly bad eating day and wanted to recalibrate with a hit of fruit and veg without faffing for hours in the kitchen trying to put together a nutritious meal . I certainly felt healthier ( and virtuous ) including B.fresh in my diet , and I 'm pretty regular in the toilet department , so I did n't notice a change there . With WFH back on the table and my culinary skills still a work in progress , these little juices and shots are the perfect way to include healthy ingredients into my daily diet without any fuss - Abha Shah . The Garden Eatery Juice The day The Garden Eatery 's Signature Juice Cleanse entered my home in a cardboard box was the day I lost my juice cleanse virginity . Previous failed attempts at detox-ing told me the journey would be tough , but I knew it would be worth it . My goal was to come out the other side free from toxins and feeling sexy . I was ready for the challenge . I 'd enjoyed one too many double cheeseburgers that week and my body was screaming for vitamins . I opened the box with trepidation and excitement , my fingers tingling with anticipation - or maybe just scurvy . Today 's menu was inside seven glass bottles , bottled up in cold-pressed liquid form . The colours of nature 's rainbow glistened under the condensation . Just looking at them was enough to feel healthier . The Garden Eatery included a card with all the information needed for a day of pretending to be Gwyneth Paltrow and I could n't wait to crack open the first order of the day . Caffeine is n't recommended when detoxing so the Apple and Ginger shot took the place of a morning coffee . The fiery little devil coursed through my oesophagus in a true baptism of fire and left me feeling awake and energised . Next came the Alkalise , a cucumber and celery concoction that tasted mainly of celery . It was slightly difficult to stomach but I willed the spirit of Paltrow as I forced the last sip . The rest of the cleanse went by in a haze of unscrewing bottles and glugging away at intermittent times . I informed every WhatApp group I was a member of about the important news : " I 'm juice cleansing today " , was the answer to the question no one asked . The Garden Eatery recommends that you drink as much water as possible during the cleanse . This proved to be the biggest challenge of the experience for the simple reason that drinking all that liquid health had me running for the loo every two minutes . But the remaining juices were delicious . Particularly the ' I Am Well Tonic ' , a tiny bottle of ginger , lemon , chaga mushroom and black pepper that I was told to drink in between juices by mixing a small amount with warm water . As well as being the perfect beverage for cold and wintery afternoons , it tricked me out of feeling any uncomfortable hunger pangs . ' I am well ' I agreed - smugness and health swelling bigger inside me with every bottle completed . Throughout the day I alternated between feeling energised and urgently desperate to pee . The toilet breaks were so frequent it became slightly uncomfortable , but at least I was at home and within safe running distance of a place to relieve myself . By the end of the cleanse I did feel slightly weak , but the emptiness felt good - I felt holy , I mean healthy . I imagined waking up in the morning , skipping out of bed and effortlessly landing into a downward dog . As I fell asleep , accomplishment warmed my belly like a steaming bowl of ramen . But the most interesting takeaway of the experience became clear the next day . After waking up I immediately pictured baked beans , hash browns and thickly buttered white toast followed by an Egg McMuffin . Images of white , processed breakfast options flitted through my brain like mirages of oases in the desert . But strangely - when the time came to eat solid food for the first time in 36 hours - all I wanted was a banana . The Garden Eatery suggests cleansing as a way to kickstart healthy eating plans . A cleanse clears out the toxins in your body , giving your system a break and a blank slate to start afresh with new habits . I was n't planning on kickstarting a healthier diet , but it sort of happened . Was I free from the convenient shackles of fast food ? Was my MSG addled brain cured of an addiction I did n't know I had ? I spent the rest of the day feeling supremely virtuous . So yes , a juice cleanse can change your life . At the very least , it encouraged me to make healthier choices for a day or two after . The Garden Eatery have also created a cleanse that ticks all the boxes of what a cleanse should be , while successfully making a punishing experience genuinely quite pleasant with their curated selection of delicious cold-pressed brews . A one day cleanse also costs less than ? 40 , so achieving Gwyneth Paltrow status is cheaper than what Goop.com might have had you believing . I highly recommend taking the journey , it made me feel detoxed and cleansed and it 's surprisingly easy too . - Katie Bell Press Juice This three-day juice cleanse was a true test in stamina and endurance . I 'd dipped my toe into the juicing world previously with The Green Eatery 's one-day iteration so I felt ready to take things up a notch and move away from the amateur arena of 24-hour detox-ing . The Virgin Cleanse from Press is designed for beginners , and includes two cashew milk shakes in banana and berry flavours to keep the starvation at bay . A day of Virgin Cleansing begins with water and activated charcoal which tastes like lemon and does a good job of waking up your system with a healthy dose of hydration . The recommended intake is a juice every two hours and is actually surprisingly filling . During the first day I found it difficult to even finish all the juices , and so on day two and three I left the nut milks where they were . I 'm no virgin to the cleanse you see . The best thing about this cleanse is the variety in juice consistency . It gives you a sense of having more than just liquids sloshing around in your system and so you do n't feel too hungry or starved of solid food . Truthfully , it was hard to stick to this three day mission and my resolve crumbled with a glass of wine and a slice of toast on the eve of day two . The sense of failure at my own weakness derailed the motivation to closely follow the regimen any longer - rebellion tasted too good . On the third day I drank the juices between covert snacks here and there , before nearly killing my sister when I handed her a cashew milk to drink . Anaphylactic catastrophe was luckily avoided in the nick of time but it just proves that juice cleanses are no laughing matter . The lesson being do n't cheat on your juice cleanse : an empty stomach can have disastrous effects on clear thinking . If you 're good at restraint , then this juice cleanse is perfect . With these truly great tasting juices , you wo n't notice your hunger and I can only imagine how fantastic you might feel at the end . - Katie Bell Plenish Say what you will , there 's nothing like all your meals for the entire day covered without a single bit of thought required . Plenish has simplified even the simplicity of a juice cleanse by numbering each of juices so you know exactly what you should be drinking and when . Designed to adapt to your schedule , there are six to consume in a day , beginning at 8am and for every other hour until your last at 8pm . There is a gap at 6pm to leave an allotted time for some exercise should you feel up to it . The brand stresses the importance of this and while you are n't supposed to step out and run 26.2 miles , the wonders of fresh air can add to the mindfulness aspect of the cleanse . The combination of cold-pressed ( to preserve all the goodness ) juices and shakes are crafted from natural and organic ingredients and all serve a different purpose . They were devised by nutrition experts to inject nutrients into your detox . The day begins with Lift - a super fresh green juice that 's a hearty combination of kale , spinach , cucumber , ginger and lime for immunity support and to counteract fatigue . It 's followed by Fuel at number two and five . This offers a hit of vitamins and minerals and provides energy . Shield supports the efforts of Lift , while Kick puts the fire into your belly for that much-needed afternoon pick-me-up . It 's spicy but oddly delicious . Last but certainly not least Savour is a chocolate cashew milk that 's a lovely switch-up to the overwhelming quantity of juice and satisfies our sugar cravings , while also providing a heavy hit of superfoods and antioxidants . The juices are 500ml each and are extremely easy to drink . Far more so than others on this list . That being said , completing all six was quite the feat and I managed five at best on day two . You are supposed to drink a glass of water between juices but I found this to be near impossible unless I moved my work from home set-up to the bathroom . When hunger strikes , opt for herbal tea or hot water and lemon that can boost your immune system , kickstart your digestive system and leave you with clearer skin . Post-cleanse , I certainly had a swing in my step . I felt lighter and clearer but without much of an appetite for any meals . While throughout the three days , every single meal that I scrolled passed on Instagram looked appealing - even someone eating a whole carrot on a TV show - when it was time to recommence by usual diet , I did n't fancy any of it . In the handy booklet that comes alongside the juices , Plenish even suggest meals for your post-juicing meal as a way to gradually introduce solid foods and this mainly consisted of porridges which worked a treat . PRESS A brand often spotted at boutique gyms across the capital and even at private members club Soho House , PRESS is known for its refreshing , nutrient-packed drinks . While there are smoothies and juices to enjoy alongside your traditional diet , the brand also offers this two-day cleanse where it provides all of your meals for 48 hours . The idea is to reset the body and kickstart healthy habits once it is complete . Benefits reported include a surprising boost in energy ( despite the lack of traditional nourishment ) , clearer skin and the regulation of bowel movements . As part of the cleanse , you are treated to 10 juices and four soups that provide 972 calories per day . Start your morning with the Daily Lean green juice paired with a vitamin D shot , before moving on with the Clean Carrot juice , protein soup , glow soup and the nut milkshake. |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate with 'who' as the NP subject, 'rules' as V1, 'themselves' as the NP object, and 'standing' as the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also involves a reflexive NP object coreferential with the subject, similar to the atypical cases mentioned in the properties. The interpretation can be seen as a prevention interpretation, where the subject causes themselves to not stand, aligning with the construction's characteristics.

The last year in Welsh politics has been , it 's fair to say , fairly turbulent . In the first few months of 2024 we had three First Ministers alone . There were leadership battles , rows , no-confidence votes , and more leading to plenty of uncertainty about the direction of the Welsh Government . Then , in August , Eluned Morgan was named First Minister , becoming the first woman to hold the role , and she later appointed her cabinet and has set out her agenda and priorities . As 2025 looms there are 17 months before the Senedd election takes place in Wales . At that election it 's all change with a new electoral system and an increased Senedd with 96 rather than 60 MSs . The changes are causing headaches across the political spectrum because there is plenty of uncertainty about exactly they will mean in practical terms . While things have slowed down a little in terms of Welsh politics in recent weeks -- notwithstanding a change to the leader of the opposition shortly before 2024 closed -- the next year already promises challenges and intrigue aplenty . Here 's what lies ahead . Reforming the Senedd brings with it plenty of changes , not least with the former regional/constituency boundaries changing . Instead of the current system of a split between the constituencies and regions it will change to 16 constituencies . Exactly how they are being made up is yet to be confirmed but we know that the 32 Westminster constituencies are being paired up -- it is which are being paired that is still being debated . The Democracy and Boundary Commission Cymru has published initial proposals , which you can see here , with a final decision in March 2025 . And that in turn kickstarts .... There is plenty of work going on behind the scenes in terms of finding the candidates needed to fill the soon-to-be plentiful gaps on each party 's candidate lists . Parties often love what is called a " full slate " meaning they have found someone to stand in every single seat but to get that they will need 128 willing participants . How they do that involves some complicated decisions having to be made . Plaid and Labour for example want to ensure gender parity -- but they have to work out how to deliver that in practice . An actual law which would have made it a requirement for parties to have at least 50% of their candidates as women was scrapped . Parties will have to decide if they automatically give incumbent MSs first dibs on seats and if it is two incumbents against each other it will be a thorny question as to who gets the top spot . If they factor in their gender too there will then be a question over whether that means some of the bigger names find themselves further down the list . It 's always as , if not more , interesting to see who rules themselves out of standing rather than in . Already we know of some big names saying they wo n't stand for election again . Llanelli MS Lee Waters , the de facto architect of the 20mph law , has said he will not stand and former First Minister Vaughan Gething , who has been the MS for Cardiff South and Penarth since 2011 , has already said this is his final term of a Senedd member as has his predecessor Mark Drakeford . There will continue to be an awful lot of noise and chatter about money . Wales gets the bulk of its money from Westminster and there have been lots of promises during elections about how two governments of the same colour will work better together .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It uses 'getting the most out of everything' which is an idiomatic expression and does not involve a causee or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

What a year , huh ? 2024 has been brutal for video games , a medium which has taken a bludgeoning from seemingly all angles . It 's been one of the quietest years for triple-A games in recent memory and the toughest for studios of just about all sizes too . But through all that there have been - as there always has been and probably always will be - a surging , irrepressible wave of brilliant , inventive , utterly joyeous video games . This has been a year of survival , but also a year of total , out-of-nowhere hits . New , weird , unsuspected gems bursting onto the scene to fill the void left by the blockbusters , which seem set to almost unanimously duke it out for your attention in 2025 instead . Well done on making it through this year . Thank you , as always , for reading . And please enjoy this list of wonderful games - the reason we 're all here in the first place . Here are the 50 best games of 2024 , ranked . Platforms:PC , PS5 , Xbox Series X/S , Switch Image credit : All Possible Futures/Devolver Digital At the centre of The Plucky Squire is an idea so brilliant it 's still stunning no one has done it before . The ability for a picture book character to become sentient and jump out ( and back into ) the book 's pages to impact its story is an idea I ca n't believe is n't already a Pixar movie . In a video game , even after two dozen times , the concept never quite gets old . It 's a superlative idea , and The Plucky Squire oozes charm as your little hero attempts to save the day by exploring back and forth through his picture book 's chapters , and then in the bedroom of the book 's young reader . The game is n't perfect - at launch its verbose writing risked alienating a similarly young audience , while some of its repeated , handhold-y puzzles should probably have been abridged . Now , a recent update has attempted to smooth over some of that - and the brilliance of that initial key concept remains . Platforms:PC , PS4 , PS5 , Xbox One , Xbox Series X/S Image credit : Eurogamer / Sega " Hope you guys know how to fish , " says Infinite Wealth 's lead character Ichiban Kasuga moments before a giant shark beaches itself on the boat you 're traveling on . A turn-based battle against this beast follows , the ridiculousness of the situation barely registering as you attempt to beat up a monster even the great Jason Statham would be wary of . This is Like A Dragon : Infinite Wealth , though . It 's a game full of moments like this , the kind of which you 'd usually never expect but kind of do here . As with other games in the series , you can try to explain to someone why they should play it , but it 's not until they actually do that the penny drops . There are no other games like this , and they must be treasured . - Tom Orry Platforms:PC Image credit : Eurogamer / Fellow Traveller The pandemic . Cloning . Gene editing . Hong Kong 's Umbrella Revolution . The apocalypse . 1000xResist embraces all of these subjects during the course of this intimate 3D visual novel , shining a bright and unflinching light on what kind of society might emerge from this petri dish of disasters . The result is one of spiralling complexity , a slow burning tale of faith , lies and conspiracy that suddenly roars to life as it hits the halfway mark , catapulting the world of heroine Watcher , her clone-like sisters and their All Mother goddess originator into violent disarray . Memories become vital battlegrounds to discern and excavate the truth behind Watcher 's heritage , and as the whys and hows of this strange , enigmatic world begin to take shape through these fickle and dreamlike flashbacks , we get to see the big ugly mess of best intentions gone awry sitting at the heart of it . 1000xResist offers no easy answers to any of its big thematic debates , but that 's precisely why this raw and deeply personal journey is so memorable and important . - Katharine Castle Platforms:PC Image credit : Eurogamer/Sokpop Collective Self-described ' totally normal gardening game ' Grunn is anything but normal , and developer Sokpop Collective delight in wrong-footing you at almost every turn in this secretly low-key horror game . Your task seems simple enough - as you arrive at the gates of an overgrown country house on a bright Saturday morning , you 've got until Monday to get the place spick and span before the owners come home . The gardening itself is pleasingly tactile , and the shoomp shoomp of the grass and hedge shears and the combative swipes of your trowel all feel great under the thumbs . But you 'll soon realise there 's something much darker and weirder going on beneath the surface of Grunn , and that these strange forces are actively out to get you . Through a smattering of enigmatic polaroids , Grunn gradually emerges as a horror-infused adventure game , tasking players with matching disparate items to the right puzzle scenarios to help peel back its layers and get to the heart of this deliciously unnerving experience . You wo n't be able to do everything on a single playthrough , but each run arms you with more knowledge and shortcuts to unravel its tantalising mystery . It 's wonderfully creepy , and a real grower . - Katharine Castle Platforms:PC , PS4 , PS5 , Xbox One , Xbox Series X/S Image credit : Activision / Eurogamer I wo n't lie , I enjoyed the Black Ops 6 campaign a lot more than plenty of games above it in this list . I 'm not sure if that 's going to get me banished from the EG Slack or something , but I need to speak my truth . I do n't care one bit for the various multiplayer modes CoD offered this year , partly because they did n't grab me but mostly because I simply do n't have time to sink into an online multiplayer shooter . Still , BLOPS 6 has the best campaign in a Call of Duty since 2016 's Infinite Warfare . There , I 've said it . It 's a banger . I think that 's plenty of info to judge me with , but just know I 'm right about this and if you disagree you are wrong . Here 's to terrible campaigns for the next eight years ! - Tom Orry Platforms:PC , PS4 , PS5 , Xbox One , Xbox Series X/S , Switch Image credit : Digital Eclipse/Llamasoft These Digital Eclipse collections are hard to sum up , but here 's the rough gist of it . Imagine a luxurious special edition DVD box set of several classic films , put together with a bit of curation , and introduced with context and explanation and nice bonus features . A collection and a story all at once . The latest , from the people behind the excellent Making of Karateka , focuses on the legendary Jeff Minter , king of psychedelic arcade wonder games . This focuses on all of his earlier stuff , but do n't let that put you off . Many of these older , lesser known games still feel frighteningly new , even as you warp back to the mid 80s . Preservation with love . This is video game heritage . - Chris Tapsell Platforms:PC Image credit : Eurogamer/Akupara Games A demonic love story told through the lens of survival horror , Sorry We 're Closed is one of many excellent PS1-throwback games to appear on our list this year , but it 's almost certainly the most stylish one of the lot . With its searing colour palette and punk rock cast of ordinary folks just trying to survive in downtown London ( albeit a downtown London that 's somehow become a hotbed for angels and demons all hanging out together and vying for celestial supremacy ) , this is raw and emotional tale where opening up your heart is a surprisingly deadly endeavour . Shop worker Michelle knows this more than most , after catching the fancy of arch demon The Duchess and being cursed with a third eye that can pierce through the fabric of reality to reveal the seedy , demonic underbelly within . If she does n't submit to The Duchess in three days , she 'll be tortured for the rest of eternity , but as she fights for her life in a brilliant mix of third person puzzling and first-person shooting , Sorry We 're Closed shows there 's still a lot to love about fixed camera angles , grungy lo-fi visuals and punching god/the devil square in the face to earn your freedom . - Katharine Castle Platforms:PC Image credit : Devolver Digital What if Sniper Elite was a low-fi conspiracy-fuelled shooter with multi-kill mechanics reminiscent of pinball or the Crash Mode from Burnout ? Well , you 'd get something like Children of the Sun , an indie shoot-'em-all-up that 's part shooter and part puzzle game . Crouched from afar , its your job to line up a shot - and its subsequent richochets - that take out all of your targets , as you uncover why your mysterious main character is taking revenge on a deadly cult . The visuals and story - such that there is - are enjoyably pulpy , while the quick-fail-and-retry gameplay allows you have just one ... more ... go ... - Tom Phillips Platforms:PC Image credit : Gearbox Software Ah , the weight of expectation . 25 years after the first genre-defining Homeworld game , nine years after a successful remaster and five years after a crowdfunding campaign for a sequel , Homeworld 3 seemed to have its course set to become another intricate , galaxy-spanning real-time strategy game set in 3D space . What emerged from hyperspace was in some ways the game I dreamed of : a fun evolution of what came before , with new factions and a new setting , yet familiarly iconic ship designs emitting primary-coloured exhaust trails , producing realistic battle chatter amongst beautiful nebulae backdrops as a Middle Eastern inspired ambient electronica plays . A new focus on maps with megalithic structures suitable for cover or flanking was a smart twist , providing a new stage for the game 's excellent art direction and making for more interesting battle scenarios too . Yet an ultimately disappointing campaign that focused on a handful of poorly realised characters stood in stark contrast to the epic , survival-of-a-people tales that made the first games so well-loved , and depressed review scores to the point that the game 's extensive post-launch development plans were halted just four months later . The game 's campaign and its roguelite War Games mode are still well worth playing , with the final 1.3 patch providing some much-needed balance and gameplay improvements , but I fear it may be the final chapter in this iconic series . - Will Judd Platforms:PC , Xbox One , Xbox Series X/S , Switch Image credit : Balloon Studios/Whitethorn Games/Eurogamer Puzzle games about growing plants have been popping up in abundance in recent years , but Botany Manor is almost certainly one of the best specimens yet of this particular sub-genre . Set inside an enormous and picturesque Somerset manor , amateur botanist Arabella Greene takes it upon herself to study and recreate rare strains of peculiar plants that will only bloom under the most specific and wonderfully whimsical circumstances . Like the flower that needs the exact wind temperatures of its mountain home , or the rust-cleansing river weed that will only bloom at a certain water temperature . Or the one that mimics the wing colours of a moth at a particular time of day , or the sleeping heartbeat of a specific woodland creature . As you root out each plant 's respective seed bag from around the house and try and deduce exactly what will make each one burst into life via the notes and letters and other diegetic clues you 'll find scattered around , Botany Manor reveals itself to be a surprisingly robust and artful kind of puzzle experience . It takes time , care and more than a little attention to solve these conundrums , but this game 's a grower , no doubt about it . - Katharine Castle Platforms:PC , PS4 , PS5 , Xbox One , Xbox Series X/S Image credit : Piranha Games In MechWarrior 5 : Clans , you are the monsters suddenly bursting out of the walls , except the walls are the edge of the known universe and the monsters are armed with several-stories-tall BattleMechs . There 's plenty here that 's familiar to players of the hugely addicting sandbox of MechWarrior 5 : Mercenaries , but that game 's slow-and-steady progression of a mercenary company taking on odd jobs is jettisoned for a more engaging linear campaign through the highlights ( and lowlights ) of the Clan invasion of the Inner Sphere , complete with animated cutscenes replete with in-universe lingo . As agents of a technological superpower hidden away from the centuries of in-fighting and neglect faced by the rest of humanity , your advanced machinery is faster , better-armoured and hits harder than anything you 'll face from your enemies . That lets your five-member squad carve through hordes of opposition in supremely entertaining style , and gives you some latitude to experiment with weapon loadouts and skill upgrades before the game 's difficulty ramps up in the final chapters . Best of all , everything can be played in co-op if you like - and despite upgrades to AI squadmate control , subjugating the surats is always more fun with a sibkin. - Will Judd Platforms:PC , PS5 , Switch Image credit : Furniture & Mattress Arranger is ingenious , beautiful and deeply , surprisingly accommodating . Its premise suggests a world of genius-tier head-scratching where only puzzling 's greatest minds will succeed , but this game does n't just want you to get through its challenges , it wants you to feel clever too , and feel like you took everything at your own pace . These are excellent ambitions . At its most basic , Arranger offers players a tile-based world in which rows and columns move as the player does , and many objects wrap around the screen , reappearing from the left when they disappear off the right , say . Taking this idea , you 're sent off on a beautiful adventure , moving from one town to the next , solving problems , engaging in combat - you move swords and whatnot along with your rows and columns - and even taking on bosses . It 's elegant stuff , but it 's backed up with a lovely hint and skip system which means , should you want it , you can have a marker on-screen that permanently points you in the right direction , and you can hop right over any puzzle that 's annoying you . All this and some stellar writing and world-building . Arranger is a treat . - Christian Donlan Platforms:PC , PS4 , PS5 , Xbox One , Xbox Series X/S , Switch Image credit : Eurogamer/Blumhouse Games Vibes , the video game . In terms of mechanics there 's not a whole lot of complex stuff going on in Fear the Spotlight , but it absolutely nails that late 90s/early 2000s horror aesthetic . It 's a game split into two parts , parallel stories that follow on from a disastrous seance . The first is mostly set in school grounds as the protagonist attempts to find her friend and avoid the bright orange searchlight emanating from the singular baddy . Part two is more personal , centred on the life of the aforementioned missing friend , this time predominantly set in her old family home . Scarier than part one , this story leans more into Japanese horror like Ringu and Ju-On : The Curse . There 's not much of a challenge here , but the throwback puzzles and brilliant retro visuals felt like a palette cleanser much needed after years of gnarly horror designed to make you wince. - Tom Orry Platforms:Meta Quest 3/3S ( VR ) Image credit : Oculus Studios Look up . This is the slogan DC is using for its new Super Man movie . It 's also something you can do with your actual head while playing Batman : Arkham Shadow on the Meta Quest 3 . Looking around is n't new in a VR game , obviously , but it 's the first part of Camouflaj 's brilliant Batman sim . While Bruce Wayne , famously , ca n't go five minutes without saying " I am the Batman , " or similar , in this game you are in fact the Batman . Never before , even in the Rocksteady games , has this feeling been truer . Key to this is the fact that Arkham Shadow does n't shy away from the combat we 're now accustomed to in Batman games . Yes , it 's simplified here in order to open the game up to as wide an audience as possible ( you do n't have to be trained in martial arts ) , but it just works . - Tom Orry Platforms:PC , PS5 , Xbox Series X/S Image credit : SFB Games / Eurogamer Modern games that look like retro games are having a rather elongated moment , are n't they . One of the best examples this year is PS1-era throwback horror , Crow Country . Rather than simply rely on nostalgia through deliberately-dated , SFB Games created a game that would have slotted in perfectly back when everyone was being scared by the marvels that were Resident Evil and Silent Hill . It 's got smart puzzles , which are essential in a good survival horror , but more importantly the setting is brilliantly realised . There 's a superb sense of place here , which elevates it above the average attempt at aping games of this genre . Oh , and it 's funny , too , which is something games often fail miserably at . - Tom Orry Platforms:PC , Xbox Series X/S Image credit : Xbox Game Studios Often overshadowed by the vast success of its sibling Age of Empires , Age of Mythology is , frankly , an absolute banger of a game , a peak early-00s era RTS from the time where the ostensibly serious strategy genre started to get a bit silly . But I will always maintain that " a bit silly " is exactly what makes for a good RTS , frankly , and Retold is a fantastic glow-up , filing down the jagged , polygonal edges of the original but losing none of its off-beat charm . There are still outlandish god powers to throw around - now with cooldown timers ( how modern ! ) rather than a single use - and still the faintly ridiculous physics to go with it . Seeing colossi and giants boinged up in the air by a meteor will never get old . Nor will a good old-fashioned comp stomp with friends against the improved AI . If you missed the original , or you loved the original , or you never quite got into real-time strategy but want to give it a try , I ca n't think of another game I 'd recommend first . - Chris Tapsell Platforms:PC , PS5 Image credit : Kepler Interactive / Eurogamer Pacific Drive is n't the most cooperative of games . Your first dozen or so hours will , if you 're like me , be spent cursing it ( or cursing at it ) . And then the next dozen or so hours will , well , probably also be spent doing that . Weaving your way through the sodden forests of the pacific northwest with nothing but a banged up , possibly-haunted jalopy and a grumpy radio accomplice you will find yourself crashed , mashed , flipped , hurled , shocked , poked and bonked by various obstacles , ranging from slightly horrifying ' anomalies ' of the Zone to the car 's boot lowering on your head - your own weaponised incompetence manifest . This game is wonderfully , hysterically sadistic , but it 's also laced with clever mitigating design - the garage , where you stop off to recover , rebuild , and make slow RPG-like progress between runs , is really the game 's beating heart - and also a scintillating , Strugatsky brothers-inspired atmosphere . One of this year 's most unique games , but also one that seems to tap right into the zeitgeist : weird physics , gallows humour , masochistism , and a requirement to press on regardless . - Chris Tapsell Platforms:PS5 Image credit : Shift Up I 'm torn on Stellar Blade . Having had little to no expectations for it on release , I was surprised by just how great the combat is . I do n't want to sound like a complete idiot , but I wrongly started playing assuming I 'd get some fairly by-the-book hack ' n ' slash gameplay , but in fact Stellar Blade feels less frenzied than that . It 's not souls-like , but it 's not a completely different beast to those games either . It helps that Stellar Blade looks superb , being one of the most impressive games I 've played on PS5 in 2024 ( and all the nicer on PS5 Pro ) . I wo n't sugarcoat it , though : I 'm not a fan of the frankly quite ridiculous costumes . I appreciate that there 's a market for that , but I think these designs undermine a top notch action game . - Tom Orry Platforms:iOS , Android Image credit : Eurogamer/The Pokemon Company I 'll be honest , I really thought TCG Pocket was just going to be one of those ' interactive experiences ' that really centred on pack opening , collecting pretty digital things and extracting as much money out of fans as possible . And , okay , it is sort of that -- but wait , come back a sec and just listen . It 's also just a fantastic card battler . This is maybe to be expected - Creatures has been making this card game for a few decades now , after all - but there are some quietly genius tweaks to the formula that make it work so well here . Energy has been shifted from cards in your deck to a generation system , enhanced and modified by the cards you can then build decks around . Matches are faster , and somewhat inconsequential by most competitive standards - but counterintuitively , that also makes it even more fun . If you lose , it 's fine - you lost five minutes , and probably learned something valuable about the deck you built or decisions you made along the way . The interlocking systems , across chance-based elements like packs and wonder picks , to the many quests , AI and online battles , collectibles and more , are astonishingly intricate . And yes , the artwork really is quite lovely . This is one of the best games to come out of The Pok ? mon Company for some time - do n't write it off before trying your hand . - Chris Tapsell Platforms:PC , Xbox Series X/S Image credit : Eurogamer/GSC Game World Games are often so slick , so focus grouped , and so safe these days that it 's amazing when a big game is released and it does n't feel like any of those things . Stalker 2 feels like a hugely ambitious indie game from 15 years ago , but with the production values of a modern AAA title . It had plenty of issues at launch ( and still does after a bunch of updates ) , but no other game released this year matches it in terms of scope . It 's an open-world FPS , but unlike any you 've ever played before unless you 've played a previous Stalker game . Games do n't have to be sanded down so much they have no sharp edges in order to be worth your time and money . Stalker 2 proves that . It 's got more rough spots than Sony 's entire first-party output this entire generation . - Tom Orry Platforms:PC , Xbox Series X/S Image credit : Curve Games/Microbird Games A game about escaping to the Austrian alps to simply get away from it all , Dungeons of Hinterberg will have added resonance with you if you 've felt a little burned out recently , or if the pandemic is still faintly lingering in the back of your mind , or if you 've just had a bit of a year . It 's probably the closest to this year 's A Short Hike , a game about the soothing atmosphere of a physical place , about presentness and mindfulness and nice strangers offering a few words of smalltalk or advice . But also just a very nice , tight , smartly designed game in itself : a mix of Persona and Zelda , mashing together environmental puzzling , playful camera perspective shifts , a bit of light third-person combat and then a soothing retreat to the local mountain village in between . If you play games for escapism , there are few this year that did it better : a dreamy , warm-hearted , timely and deeply welcome retreat . - Chris Tapsell Platforms:PC , Switch Image credit : Panic/Franek/Max Cahill/Bibiki/Fayer Another of the very fine , small-team indies of 2024 , Arco is a gem of an action adventure game , all rendered in lovely , expressive pixel art ( there 's a whiff of 2013 about it , in a good way ) . Smart combat focuses on short , snappy , intelligent encounters , while the vibe is wonderfully Western-meets-fantasy : a lone wanderer , an authentically South American twist on the cowboy story , a big , mysterious tree . There 's richness and texture here , condensed and refined into something compact yet powerful . - Chris Tapsell Platforms:PC Image credit : Freehold Games/Kitfox Games Caves of Qud is a forever game . It 's a blend of Dwarf Fortress and the original Rogue , generating a dense fantasy world and millennia of history , and then using that as a rich backdrop for some brilliant dungeon crawling . Everywhere you look there 's something special . The art - one or two rungs away from ASCII - is gorgeously evocative of all-night sessions in old University computer labs , while the writing is poised and strange , the storytelling blends the far future and all its horrors with a landscape of ruins and strange mushrooms . Dungeons are procedurally generated but the storyline 's main beats never change , which puts the emphasis firmly on the player themselves . Who do they become ? What path do they take ? How many limbs and fingers do they want to replace with laser cannons ? These are all excellent questions for a game to ask . Somewhere in amidst all this stuff is a game that tugs at a concealed theme of 2024 in games . Like UFO 50 this is a game with the trappings - and some of the ideas - of the past of gaming , but which treats everything in a way that makes much more graphically lavish titles feel pretty old-fashioned . Even if you do n't think Caves of Qud is for you , give it a try . - Christian Donlan I honestly believe that Nintendo World Championships : NES Edition is one of the best games of the year and on the Nintendo Switch full-stop . It 's that good . I know it 's not perfect , lacking high-score leaderboards for online competition , but it 's an absolutely essential local multiplayer game for all ages . I 've enjoyed countless hours playing this with my son , essentially showing him that despite the massive advantages his youth offers , he still ca n't beat me at video games when compressed into tiny challenges . The really special thing about NWCNE ( sorry , just wanted to write something that looked like a professional wrestling franchise ) is more of a side effect , really . By introducing my son to these relics of the video game world , he 's now developed an interest in playing the full games . He 's sunk hours into Super Mario Bros. , Excitebike , and Metroid . That 's the power of Nintendo . - Tom Orry Platforms:PC , PS5 , iOS , Android Image credit : Eurogamer/Infold Games What a breath of fresh air Infinity Nikki is . If you 're tired of the usual open-worlds focused on combat , then may I suggest a trip through Miraland 's lush , fairytale landscapes instead . Where other games may have bosses to challenge , Infinity Nikki 's got high-stakes fashion battles across rooftops and spooky forests , for no other reason than simply being as dramatic as possible . But when Nikki does need to roll up her impeccably-styled sleeves to take on some mischievous creatures , then it 's in service of ' purifying ' the poor things , not killing them . When not exploring , or saving the world in one of the most endearingly silly stories I 've ever heard ( where fashion is worshipped in tandem with ancient gods ) , then just dressing Nikki up to look cute is your only real goal . And if you 're a fan of taking pictures in those cute clothes , be prepared to craft some high-quality snaps , with one of the most in depth Photo Modes in gaming . Platforms:PC Image credit : Autoexec Games Timemelters is the work of some of the people behind Sang-Froid : Tales of Werewolves . That was a distinct blend of strategy and tower defence that had an enviable sense of its own identity . Timemelters takes the idea further and really pushes up against the limits of how many new ideas a player can handle at any time . That 's a compliment . You 're playing as a witch in a mythical version of Scotland , but really you 're a flexible attack unit with the ability to cast spells , reverse time and record your own clones to fight against , and move through wormholes that tie the maps in non-Euclidean knots . The stroke of genius that brings it all into focus is this : you only have one hit point . If you fail at any moment in the game you 're dead , and so you really explore each map and its challenges , breaking down objectives , working out how to rethink space , and steadily becoming the kind of ingenious player you always hoped you might be . 2024 had a lot of great games , but few had as much to teach the player about their own potential as this one . And it 's brilliant fun too . - Christian Donlan Platforms:PC Image credit : Somi One of this year 's most compelling detective games , No Case Should Remain Unsolved is a deep dive into the fickleness and fragility of the human mind . It 's the kind of mystery game you should really just go and play and not read too much about beforehand , as saying anything about its story or finer details will veer dangerously close into spoiler territory . But the simple facts of the case are thus : you play a detective haunted by one particularly harrowing case from your youth that 's long since gone cold , and at last you 're tasked with rooting through your own piecemeal memories of all the different witness testimonies to try and get to the bottom of it . As you start reconstructing a timeline of events and matching fragments of statements to the correct speaker in the right order , you 'll gradually unearth other , hidden details of the case that constantly challenge and expand your understanding of it . But the real masterstroke of this game is how deftly it weaves its narrative , and how closely it guards its deepest and most devastating secrets . It 's masterfully executed , and a must-play for all budding detective heads . - Katharine Castle Platforms:PC , Ps4 , PS5 , Xbox One , Xbox Series X/S , Switch Image credit : Ubisoft This year 's best Metroidvania and a new benchmark for the genre at large . Prince of Persia : The Lost Crown is an athletic , nimble dream of an action platformer , marrying taut and challenging traversal techniques with a mythic quest of dazzling proportions . As heroic warrior Sargon , you must save the titular prince from the sprawling , labyrinthian prison of Mount Qaf , a foreboding and ominous place that turns friend against foe and time back in on itself . It 's an enthralling adventure , and the kind of hero 's journey that feels steeped in both the series ' tradition and the modern , dynamic flair of anime and graphic novels . It also solved the genre 's ever-present problem of painful backtracking with its game-changing screenshot tool , letting you pin images of locked doors , puzzles or anything else that caught your curiosity directly onto the map . Together with its rigorous and skilful platforming , this is a staggering achievement from the Rayman Legends team , and it 's a travesty that we wo n't get to see more of it in the future . - Katharine Castle Platforms:PC Image credit : Strange Scaffold There 's something about I Am Your Beast that reminds me of the old Batman TV series ' comic book punch effects - BAM ! ZIFF ! BOFF ! FWIP ! - only with less of the camp and much more angst . One of several games to come from Xalavier Nelson 's Strange Scaffold this year , which is arguably less a typical development studio and more a venture , allowing different devs to come in , put their stamp on something , and quickly turn around a tight , snappy , few-hours-long game with an exceptional premise that carries it well beyond what you might expect for the budget . Of those , I Am Your Beast is probably the snappiest and the tightest , a steely revenge flick with deeply cathartic , thunderously hard-hitting action to back it up . KAPOW ! - Chris Tapsell Platforms:PC , PS5 , Xbox Series X/S Image credit : Eurogamer / Focus Interactive There 's been growing chatter this year about the death of double-A games , which is interesting . For one , I 'm pretty sure we had that same conversation some time around 2013 . But more than that , I 'm also just not entirely sure it 's true . Maybe double-A games have n't gone away , so much as just become much more expensive , in the same way triple-A budgets have ballooned . Either way , consider Space Marine 2 , a game that is double-A in spirit and nature , and just about every sense other than how much it actually cost . I have to emphasise : that is intended as a very big compliment . Space Marine 2 is a joy in co-op , particularly against AI hordes but also in its meaty , gristly , simple pleasures campaign . It 's very pretty , richly detailed , but also just has a teeny tiny whiff of harmless jank to it around the edges , in those distant hordes and over-the-top explosions . And it 's also thoroughly , utterly committed to the bit . This is an exceptionally 40k game , rich with little details - lore for the lore gods ! - and ripe with gothic , dark future atmosphere . Coupled with little Doom ( 2016 ) inspired mechanical hooks , like its parry and execute system , and it 's an absolute winner . The second best game about getting together with pals and shooting hundreds of xeno scum to bits this year . - Chris Tapsell Platforms:PC , PS5 , Xbox Series X/S Image credit : Eurogamer / 11 Bit Studios Strange , stylish , and ( mostly ) successful - Indika is maybe the most A24 video game of this past year . There 's a lot going on here , but it 's hard to get past the presentation - and the impact that utterly striking presentation has , in all its forms , on the game as a whole . Think morphing , switching , surprising camera angles and movements , or sudden snaps to entirely new perspectives or art styles . Think deeply thoughtful character animations - Indika chews her nails and looks around skittishly when left to idle . Think bicycle sprints and thorny takes on religion and oppression . While the actual mechanics themselves - effectively , a bit of platforming and light puzzle-solving - do n't burst with novelty , there 's still a serious lesson here for a medium that has , let 's face it , been astonishingly slow to evolve when it comes to the good old camerawork and direction behind visual storytelling . That lesson is in just how much can be wrought from a game with some proper thought - behind how and where you put your camera and what you can see on screen , but also what you choose to do with it and why . - Chris Tapsell Platforms:PC Image credit : Suspicious Developments/Eurogamer There are many very clever people working in video games , and one of those especially clever ones is Suspicious Developments ' Tom Francis , developer of Tactical Breach Wizards ( and I 'm not just saying that because he 's written for Eurogamer ) . Tactical Breach Wizards is a deft , compact , and deeply witty take on turn-based tactics , setting you up as a bearded , wizened SWAT team that begins each scenario with a wonderful , thunderous boom through the front door . From there you need to clear a tiny , intricately arranged room , Into the Breach-style , using clever systemic devices - into the wall ! Out the window ! - to shunt and blast enemies around the arena as you go . As Matt Wales put it in his excellent review , " Tactical Breach Wizards is absolutely obsessed with defenestration " . Sold ! This is the stuff of tactical dreams . - Chris Tapsell Platforms:PC , with PS5 , Xbox Series X/S in 2025 Image credit : 11 bit Studios The first Frostpunk went down as something of a cult favourite amongst the PC strategy hardcore for its grizzled take on settlement survival . The second takes things further : difficult decisions are even more difficult . Politics , split curiously into sets of opposing values : Progress and Adaptation ; Merit and Equality ; Tradition and Reason . There 's a sense of breathlessness to it - of constant forever-struggle , a civilisation perpetually on the edge of strife - and at the same time one of pensive depth . If grand strategy games have always felt a bit too detached for you , too ' God 's eye ' and geopolitical , then zoom right in onto this one . This game is right there on the ground , in the dirt and soil and snow , and the bloody choices of how you get by against the odds . It 's one of the best strategy games in some time . - Chris Tapsell Platforms:PC , PS4 , PS5 , Xbox One , Xbox Series X/S , Switch , Netflix Image credit : Eurogamer/Playstack The Case of the Golden Idol was always going to be a tough act to follow , but developer Color Gray Games has truly outdone itself with this ambitious sequel . Catapulting the timeline forwards 300 years to the paranoia-drenched 1970s , this tale of corporate conspiracy and murders most fowl captures your attention at every step . Technically , it 's a little lighter on the blood and gore this time round , with some scenes simply depicting brawling TV contestants , exploding outdoor cinemas , or even poetic dances with secret , hidden meanings to decipher . But the crimes and mysteries themselves are no less compelling for it , and deducing who did what , why and how in each of its freeze-frame tableaux remains as tantalising as ever , especially now its dedicated windows and parcelled out puzzle boards make them more approachable than ever to crack open and read between the lines . It 's smartly done , and one of the most satisfying mystery games of 2024. - Katharine Castle Platforms:PC , PS4 , PS5 , Xbox Series X/S Image credit : Eurogamer/Capcom Capcom has been firing on all cylinders lately , and its mythological romp through the demon-infested torii gates of Kunitsu-Gami is no exception . This action-heavy strategy game is a real feast for the senses , combining its athletic and kaleidoscopic kagura dance combat moves with a challenging tactical core of cerebral tower defence . The goal is to safely escort the priestess Yoshiro through the cursed and corrupted towns and hollows of a mountainside community , defending her from waves of strikingly gnarly demons both as her chief guardian Soh and the gaggles of recruitable villagers that can be assigned different roles and jobs to best hold down the fort . Long range archers and brawny woodcutters are eventually joined by powerful sorcerers and teleporting ninjutsu , but the demons you 'll face also evolve in kind , as do the settings , objectives and obstacles you 'll encounter along the way . There are so many fresh ideas to get to grips with in Kunitsu-Gami that you 're never short of creative challenges to overcome , and the energy and enthusiasm it presents them to you with is always utterly infectious . A truly wild ride from start to finish . - Katharine Castle Platforms:PC , Switch Image credit : Simogo You should always make time for a Simogo game . Lorelei and the Laser Eyes takes a sharp turn from the breathless , bubblegum electro-pop of platformer Sayonara Wild Hearts , the studio 's previous , instead opting for quiet , moody , monochromatic puzzle-solving in a strange , vacant mansion in the woods . Some of those puzzles can be a frightful challenge - this one 's a notebook-and-pen joint , and you 'll be much happier if you give yourself over to that fact from the off , rather than resist it out of pride , as I always find myself doing at first . You make time for a Simogo game , but this is one you need to carve out hours for , not only to play but to sit with , puzzle over , examine from all sides . Like a good old puzzle macguffin , but also like the curious objects of art this game builds its web of brilliant clues around . - Chris Tapsell Platforms:PC Image credit : Mossmouth Following up a game like Spelunky must have been daunting , so in many ways Derek Yu 's response makes total sense . He got a bunch of talented friends together and slowly they all made something weird and unique . UFO 50 is n't a game so much as it 's the back catalogue of a console that did n't actually exist , but might have . Real talk : it 's overwhelming at first . All of UFO 50 's games are complete experiences and they 're all unlocked from the off . That means when you load the game up for the first time you have a daunting decision to make . Where to start ? But as you pick a path and move outwards , shifting from RPGs to puzzle games to strategy games - so many strategy games ! - you start to realise it 's not necessarily about getting the most out of everything , it 's about finding the games that click with you and exploring them deeply , and then moving on to something new . Over time I suspect every game will have its moment . Of all the games on this list , this is the one I think you 're meant to live with for a decade or more , really getting the most out of it . 50 games , weird interconnected lore , different art styles and a gorgeous approach to pseudo-history . As follow-ups to one of the greatest games ever made go , it 's hard to fault . - Christian Donlan Platforms:Switch Image credit : Eurogamer/Nintendo Three years ago , it would have been hard to fathom that the natural successor to games like Deus Ex , Dishonored and other renowned immersive sims would have been Nintendo 's The Legend of Zelda series . But just as Tears of the Kingdom amply proved last year with its anything goes Ultra Hand contraptions , Nintendo 's creative spirit has only grown stronger over time , and the bevy of magical building blocks at your disposal in this year 's Echoes of Wisdom is a brilliant extension and evolution of that particular school of problem solving . Zelda makes for a highly winning heroine in her first proper outing as series lead , and the way she 's able to repurpose everything from beds and children 's trampolines right up to the most fearsome monsters that have terrorised Link across 30-odd years of adventuring to overcome the trials in front of her makes this one of the most daring and innovative Zelda games to date . It confronts what the future of the series might look like without a sword-swinging hero at the helm , and it does so with inventive and elegant ingenuity . Here 's hoping it 's not another 30 years until Zelda gets to reprise her stunning debut role here . - Katharine Castle Platforms:PC , Switch , PS4 , PS5 , Xbox One , Xbox Series X/S Image credit : Playstack/LocalThunk It 's the game that 's been on everyone 's lips ( and brain , and console , and phone and practically every device going ) since it took the world by storm back in February . Balatro has been a force of nature this year , captivating the world with its roguelike poker games that make cheating and gaming your deck the main event . Whether it 's amping up the score of your hands by exploiting all manner of special effects from its deviously conceived Joker cards , or juicing the numbers with arcane twists via booster packs of accompanying celestial buff cards , Balatro is melting pot of cunning creativity - a feeling that 's only enhanced by its wonderfully woozy music and hypnotic , swirling backgrounds . The aim , of course , is to manipulate your limited number of playable hands to beat the high score blind offered by your opponent . But as the ante goes up each round , so too do the number of zeroes on the end of those score targets , requiring all the more tactical manoeuvring to keep your run going . It 's a work of marvellous depth and winning simplicity , and rightly one of the best and most memorable games you 'll play this year . - Katharine Castle Platforms:PC , PS5 , Xbox Series X/S Image credit : Capcom The original Dragon 's Dogma came out at the tail end of a console generation that , frankly , everyone was sick of . It 's not that we did n't love the PS3 and Xbox 360 , but they were knocking on for seven years old at this point which back then , when Moore 's Law was still holding strong , made them the gaming hardware equivalent of a still functioning Roman aqueduct : impressive , and beautiful , but relics . Wholly inadequate for modern challenges . Probably leaking somewhere . And so Dragon 's Dogma was n't quite the game that had been envisioned . Features were cut . Compromises were made . Par for the course at the best of times , but stuffing Capcom 's Elder Scrolls into a measly half gig of RAM would have been gruelling . Still , it managed to impress : justifying a huge DLC expansion , several re-releases , and a Japan-only MMO . The business , alas , remained unfinished . When work started on a sequel , the mission was plain : do it properly this time.A larger and denser map . More settlements . Two capitals . A beast race to rival the world of men . Richly drawn NPCs and better quests . An expanded pawn system including a controversial but frankly brilliant meta-game in the form of a deadly disease that spread between users . Dragon 's Dogma 2 delivered where the original game had to pull back , bringing to fruition a singular vision that had eluded its creators before , finally running on hardware that could do it justice . As long as you had a VRR TV . Look , shut up . It 's the decade-long chasing of that vision which impresses the most . There is n't anything quite like it : quests are n't checklists , they 're arduous journeys into an untamed wilderness , where you can feel civilisation slipping away with every stride . Its landscape is unforgiving , fast travel only barely exists and requires effort to arrange , and night means night : travelling in darkness means danger and no visibility , as opposed to everything being normal but tinted blue , as night time so often manifests in other games . But there is beauty in the inhospitable . Grand vistas , forests as dense as real life . And this game has the most realistic mountains I 've ever seen outside of literally the Scottish highlands : they are emphatically there . Intimidatingly tall . Impossibly wide . Unconcerned about spoiling your view , infinite draw distance be damned . There are mountains and you will look at them . In the time between Dragon 's Dogma and its sequel , the RPG landscape has undergone several game-changing revolutions . The cultural dominance of Soulslikes mercifully peaked and waned . The likes of The Witcher 3 and Zelda : Breath of the Wild caused enormous shifts in world design that are still massively evident in new and upcoming games . But for Dragon 's Dogma 2 , all that might as well have never happened . It is entirely unmoved by all the strides that have been made in This Sort of Thing , seeking only to be the best version of itself . The genesis of the project may have been Capcom 's desire to have its own competitor to Oblivion and the like , but it achieved something much more worthy than that : it finally became Dragon 's Dogma . - Jim Trinca , Destroyer of Word Limits Platforms:PC , PS4 , PS5 , Xbox Series X/S Image credit : Eurogamer/Atlus In a year of political elections and excellent RPGs , there could n't be a more 2024 game than Metaphor : ReFantazio . From Atlus , creators of the Persona series , it shifts setting from high-school drama to epic fantasy and bases its narrative on an election to restore justice to the world and prevent a dictator from brainwashing the population . It 's a celebration of diversity as well as an ode to the RPG genre , with its varied characters and anti-prejudice themes wrapped up in a smart Archetype class system and nods to 90s classics . Above all , it 's a damn fine RPG in its own right . Building on the premise of the Persona games , its calendar structure expands into a heroic adventure , its menus are exquisitely designed , and its operatic soundtrack includes one of the best battle themes ever . Its turn-based combat , meanwhile , is fast and thrilling , its Archetype system full of depth , and its plot folds in on itself to interrogate the very meaning of what a fantasy story can be . Metaphor : ReFantazio is grand and poetic and enchanting , but it 's also a game full of hope for the future - something we could all use a little of this year . - Ed Nightingale Platforms:PC , PS4 , PS5 , Switch Image credit : Panic / Eurogamer When I first played Thank Goodness You 're Here ! as a brief demo out at GDC , I worried it might just be a game about silly jokes and slapping people . Then I played more of it and realised it is just a game about silly jokes and slapping people , and that 's brilliant . There 's a mix of all sorts here , Beano and Aardman Animations , and that very specific , red-faced , lip-puckered , Matt Berry sense of humour ( you know what I mean just from that , I 'm sure . And yes he is also in it ) . Of the many games released this year that lasts just a few hours , and only costs a few bob , this is right up there . Games can be oddly serious business ; maybe it 's time to treat yourself to a cheap laugh for a few hours instead . - Chris Tapsell Platforms:PC Image credit : Eurogamer/Critical Reflex We certainly have n't been short of great horror games this year , but few have captured the 0-60mph unravelling of the human mind under pressure in quite the same way as the brilliantly surreal Mouthwashing . You know from the start that your spaceship hauler and the rest of your crew are doomed - you 're the one , after all , who sets their collision course in motion . But as time flips between the before and after of this pivotal moment , we get to see how it all started , how it gradually starts to fall apart , and then the violent and sudden rupture of multiple psyches all at once . Mouthwashing delights in wrong-footing you at almost every breath , but it moves at such a brisk and bracing pace that you ca n't help but feel enthralled to it . Nothing is as it seems on this cursed ship , and its tight quarters and corridors morph and bend to brilliant effect to mirror the crew 's deteriorating mental state . It 's also not afraid to have a good laugh at itself either , as reflected by its punchy , witty script and some particularly dark comedic interactions you can have with the near-mummified captain Curly . There 's simply nothing else quite like Mouthwashing out there right now , and it 's downright refreshing . - Katharine Castle Platforms:PS5 Image credit : Square Enix What is the purpose of a remake ? How do you balance old and new , while preserving the thrill of the original game ? These are questions Square Enix is exploring with its Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy , with Rebirth proving a divisive middle entry . While some of its narrative changes have appeared convoluted , they 've certainly got players talking . Simultaneously , the richly detailed open world , characterful storytelling , and beautiful performances have expanded upon the beloved original , bringing its story to life in ways players in the 90s could only dream of . And while it only represents one part of a broader trilogy , it 's a brilliant RPG in its own right . Combat is a smart mix of real time and command-driven action , its extensive soundtrack is absolutely killer , and it 's ( perhaps overly ) stuffed full of things to do : from chocobo racing , to monster hunting , to dancing and piano playing , to the utterly absorbing Queen 's Blood card game . Rebirth presents an entire world for Final Fantasy fans to lose themselves in while preserving the original 's tonal shifts from dark sci-fi conspiracies to bizarre characters , camp cutscenes , and the palpable homoerotic tension between its leads . Square Enix went with a maximalist and flamboyant approach to gaming remakes , which certainly worked in its favour . - Ed Nightingale Platforms:PC , PS5 , Xbox Series X/S Image credit : Digital Foundry When I think of Dragon Age : The Veilguard , I think of its journey to release - and the relief I imagine its development team at BioWare felt seeing the project finally launch , to a generally positive reception , after a sometimes-tortuous 10 years . Veilguard is by no means a perfect game , and there are moments where a decade of witness marks are visible . But as much as it is a different proposition to Dragon Age : Origins - unsurprising , coming some 25 years later - and as much as it stands somewhat in the shadow of last year 's genre-defining Baldur 's Gate 3 , Veilguard still stands tall , strengthened by its similarities to other BioWare greats . In Veilguard I can see the character work of Mass Effect 3 and Citadel , particularly in the brilliant Davrin and Emmrich , and the ambition to build towards a thrilling conclusion of a kind we 've not seen since Mass Effect 2 . It is the developer 's most enjoyable adventure , with brilliantly designed environments that expand over time , and certainly BioWare 's most technically stunning and beautiful effort to date . It is a return to form , and makes me excited once again for BioWare 's Mass Effect team to build on these foundations next . - Tom Phillips Platforms:PC , PS5 , Switch Image credit : Billy Basso/Shared Memory/Bigmode Animal Well is the kind of game you dream about . It offers a midnight world filled with nature and strange ruins , but it 's also dense , complex , and filled with unlikely secrets . It 's one of those special pieces of art that lives with you for such a long time that it starts to feel like a companion . It encourages you to work out how it thinks . And yet on the simplest level it 's pretty straightforward . It 's a Metroidvania in which you explore a large , interconnected series of grottoes using new tools to open up new paths . But the tools are brilliant in their mundanity - a frisbee , a slinkee , a yo-yo - and the ways you use them are constantly changing . Mechanically there is a strong sense that you 're following in the designer 's footsteps , finding the potential in your oddball arsenal in the same way that they did . The game 's world is constantly unfolding , and offering new opportunities and revelations to those who learn how to look for them . It 's partly about pattern recognition and partly about taking really good lateral punts at things - often your weirdest impulses will lead to something good . Clever as this stuff is , when it slowly fades from memory , what remains is pure atmosphere . This is a pixel-art world ripped straight from the early days of home computing , with all the idiosyncrasies that suggests . You 're not alone in the depths either , you 're surrounded by beautifully animated , playfully designed animals who share the caves and walkways with you . We loved Animal Well when we first played it - now , more than anything , we wish we could experience it for the first time again . What a beautiful thing this is. - Christian Donlan Platforms:PS5 , PC Image credit : Konami / Bloober Team How do you even begin to build on something as exactingly crafted as the original Silent Hill 2 ? Every step , every rhythm , of protagonist James Sunderland 's oppressive journey through the infamously foggy town is so imbued with underlying meaning , so key to understanding the larger picture , that meddling with it too much is liable to bring the whole thing crashing down . But developer Bloober Team 's deft Silent Hill 2 remake is quite extraordinary , not only modernising the beloved survival horror classic with intelligent mechanical finessing and a beautifully forlorn makeover but expanding and enriching it in genuinely additive ways . It 's a remake of incredible balance , fiercely reverent to the original but unafraid to be bold . It slavishly hits every story beat , every iconic moment , except where there 's room to surprise ; dialogue is barely changed , yet stellar performances find new emotional depths ; anticlimaxes are reworked into unforgettable crescendos ; it brings clarity without ever losing its sense of mystery ; and , brilliantly , it even cheekily canonises an age-old fan theory , allowing this new version of Silent Hill 2 to harmoniously coexist with the original along the same timeline . But more than anything , it plays beautifully . Bloober skilfully explores new spaces within the original 's immovable structure , all while keeping masterful control of tone - and its bereft malevolence reaches some genuinely terrifying extremes . That the studio also manages to do all this with a gentle sense of fun , and makes one of gaming 's most wrenching closing acts somehow even more devastating , speaks volumes . - Matt Wales Platforms:PC , PS5 Image credit : Sony Interactive Entertainment There 's a case for a lot of games on this list being the game of 2024 , but I think Helldivers 2 might be the one that pips it . Helldivers 2 released at the height of the industry 's period of catastrophic layoffs , as publishers scrambled to adapt to a changing , post-pandemic industry and as analysts went in desperate search of answers for what , exactly , makes for success . And Helldivers 2 had the answer : gameplay , above trends and fashions and not-so-sure-things , has always been king - and great gameplay comes from invention first , from giving developers time and space and the means to take a gamble . In this case , developer Arrowhead 's great invention was to mix the comedic brilliance of its more niche twin-stick efforts - the likes of Magicka and the first Helldivers - with an ingeniously novel concept : a " Game Master " , in the now-infamous Joel , who planned and responded in real time to the efforts of the playing public , pulling the strings of the game 's galactic war from afar . The result is a kind of grand , divine comedy playing out across battlefields , regions , and planets . A sense that this whole thing is a bit of a prank - that " robot Vietnam " is very much an intentional nightmare , that just as one planet is saved as a result of Herculean communal effort , another will be plunged into a far worse conflict of its own . But also that you 're still in on the joke - mashing in Komani code-style combos into my controller to call in an airstrike , complete with frantic , finger-pointing ' beep boop beep ' animations in-game , never fails to crack me up . Nor does ' accidentally ' landing my drop pod right on a mouthy teammate 's head . It 's masochistic , darkly funny , creative , playful , strategic , thematically aligned , anti-fascist , mechanically tight as anything and indisputably new . If we must still insist on funding or designing games by formula , fine - give that one a try on for size . - Chris Tapsell Platforms:PS5 Image credit : Eurogamer/Team Asobi/Sony I 've described Astro Bot as " mid-tier Mario " . You might see that as being negative and unnecessarily harsh on what is a wonderful , joy-filled video game , but that 's not my intention . If I told you that I 'd make you wealthy , but only as wealthy as a mid-tier billionaire , well , I doubt you 'd be upset ( other than the new found stress of needing to work out how to use that money responsibly ) . Mario has been so far ahead of the competition in the 3D platforming space that being mid in this context is a rather incredible achievement . Sony now has a giant of the genre and as a result I now have more confidence in the industry to care about it once again . Being popular does matter , but sentiment counts for something too when you 're building a brand . With Astro Bot Sony has made people feel good about the PlayStation . Not just in the current moment , but over their lives with the console . Big budget blockbuster narrative experiences have won PlayStation awards and millions of users , but Astro Bot made me ( and many others ) connect on a fundamental level . It 's fun to play video games . I did n't think I needed to be reminded of that , but I guess I did . - Tom Orry Platforms:PC , PS5 , Xbox Series X/S Image credit : Eurogamer/Bethesda Softworks The biggest surprise success story of 2024 , Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a game that 's snuck into our collective hearts , walloped us over the head with its guitars , fly swatters and dusty brushes , and instantly won us over with its roguish charm and winning smile . This is a game that fully understands what Indy is , both as a character and as a series , placing us firmly in the baggy beige trousers of this whip-cracking adventurer whose globe-trotting treasure hunt takes us from the hushed halls of the Vatican , the sweltering deserts and jungles of Egypt and Thailand , as well as a few more explosive and spine-tingling locations along the way . Within those environments , developer MachineGames has crafted a series of dense and deeply lived in spaces , giving players the tools to improvise multiple routes into tightly guarded areas , all manner of weapons and daft , everyday objects to clobber Indy 's enemies with , as well as an entire museum 's worth of brilliantly conceived mysteries , puzzles and sidequests to indulge in along the way . Indeed , the latter ' Field Work ' assignments are frequently so substantial and crucial to filling in more information about the main plot that they 're almost full story missions in their own right . It makes everything feel important and worth your time in The Great Circle , tempting you further into its central mystery so you can prise open every last secret it has to offer . It 's also just a bloody great action game , meshing approachable , fleet-footed stealth systems with muscular melee combat and some properly good tactile puzzle sequences . It 's all backed up by a wonderful cast , too , whose memorable performances and outstanding voice work bring that extra layer of polish to the whole experience . The Great Circle is everything you 'd want and hope an Indy game to be and more , and we only hope MachineGames gets to reprise its role as long-term Indy custodians in the future . It feels like a bold new chapter for this studio , and it will be one hell of a ride to see what it does next . - Katharine Castle Chris Tapsell is Eurogamer 's Deputy Editor and most decorated Football Manager .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The verb 'takes' does not involve a causer and a causee relationship, and the phrase 'out of creating and setting curls' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to describe a removal of fuss from the process of creating and setting curls, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Dyson 's Airwrap shook up the hair styling market when it launched in 2016 , because it offered a way to create curls that did n't rely on extreme heat . Despite a slightly painful price tag , it became hugely popular and is widely considered to be one of the best hair styler tools around . In 2024 , Dyson added an upgraded version : the Airwrap i.d . If you 've spotted this on sale and are wondering about the difference , I 'm here to compare the Dyson Airwrap to the Airwrap i.d . for you . The styler tool itself is almost identical on the Airwrap and the Airwrap i.d . The major difference is that the latter has an i.d.curl switch on the barrel . Flip this , and the styler will kick off a wrapping , styling and cold shot cycle , with timings based on your specific hair type . This routine is created using a companion app , connected via Bluetooth . If you 're typically using your Airwrap to create curls , it looks like a worthwhile upgrade , taking some of the fuss out and streamlining the process . Both the Airwrap and Airwrap i.d . version are compatible with a wide range of styling attachments . The i.d . has three new or upgraded pieces -- including a conical curling barrel . These are all available to buy separately and are compatible with both Airwrap versions , so on their own they are n't necessarily a reason to go for the Airwrap i.d . When we start to look at pricing and availability , it becomes clear that Dyson is pushing the Airwrap i.d . as a replacement rather than an alternative option . In the US , you can still buy both versions directly from Dyson , and both have the same list price . In the UK , the older Airwrap is listed but out of stock on the Dyson website . ( In Australia , both versions are out of stock . ) Read on for a closer look at the Dyson Airwrap vs Airwrap i.d. , or head to our Dyson Airwrap review to see how we got on when we tested one out . Swipe to scroll horizontally Header Cell - Column 0 Dyson Airwrap Dyson Airwrap i.d . Weight : 1.4lbs / 0.6kg 1.5lbs / 0.58kg Dimensions ( H x L x W ) : 10.7 x 1.6 x 1.9 inches / 27.2 x 4.1 x 4.8cm 10.7 x 1.6 x 1.9 inches / 27.2 x 4.1 x 4.8cm Wattage : 1,300W 1,300W Cord : 2.7m / 8.5 ft 2.7m / 8.5 ft Heat settings : 3 3 Speed settings : 3 3 Airflow : 13.5 l/s 13.5 l/s Both are high quality , premium products List price for Airwrap i.d . is more expensive , except in the US The Airwrap is no longer available from Dyson in the UK and AU Both the Airwrap and Airwrap i.d . sit firmly in the premium price bracket . Dyson is known for its cutting-edge engineering , so you can expect a high quality product in both cases -- while there are plenty of Airwrap dupes , none can quite match the Dyson version when it comes to performance . There are a few bundle options of the Airwrap , with different combinations of tools , to suit different hair types and lengths . To keep things simple , these all tend to have the same list price . Being newer and techier , you 'd expect the Airwrap i.d . to be pricier than the original Airwrap , but it 's a little more complicated than that . Head direct to Dyson US and you 'll find both the Airwrap and Airwrap i.d . version . Weirdly , both have a list price of $599.99 . At Dyson UK , you can only get the i.d . version , with a list price of ? 479.99 . ( We have seen some strong discounts on this model though : over Black Friday , we saw prices drop to ? 399.99 . ) The original Airwrap is still available from third party retailers , and has a list price of ? 399.99 . Finally , Australia . Dyson AU has the older Airwrap listed from AU$749 , but are all out of stock at time of writing . The Airwrap i.d . is in stock , and comes with a list price of $849 . The Airwrap launched 2018 ; Airwrapi.d. was released 2024 Main machine is pretty much identical in size and power Airwrapi.d. has an i.d.curl switch that launches a curl routine The original Airwrap was launched in 2018 , and superseded by an updated version in 2022 . Gen 1 had separate barrels for clockwise and counterclockwise curls , while the newer model included the option to switch curl direction without having to swap over the barrel , as well as adding new attachment options . We 're mostly focusing on the 2022 Airwrap in this article . The Airwrap i.d . joined the lineup in August 2024 . In terms of the core design , the Airwrap i.d . and Airwrap are almost identical . All the key specs are the same , save for a difference in weight that is very minor . It 's essentially a tube-shaped hair dryer onto which attachments can be added to create different styles . The main focus is the curling barrels , which use a phenomenon known as the Coanda effect to shape the hair into curls as it dries it . When the first Airwrap launched , the main selling point was that it offered a healthier way to create curls ; one that did n't require the extreme heat of traditional curling tongs . The big difference between the Airwrap vs Airwrap i.d . is that the latter works with a companion app , and also comes with three new attachment options . The 2022 Dyson Airwrap ( Image credit : Future ) Original Airwrap does not have a companion app i.d . has a Bluetooth-connected app This is used to create a curl routine based on your hair type Let 's look at the app first . You take a short quiz the first time you use it , inputting information about your hair type and length . Based on this information , the app will then create the ideal wrapping , styling and cold shot timings for your hair specifically . Pair the app with your Airwrap i.d . over Bluetooth , then the styler will launch your curl routine when you press the i.d.curl button . If you 're using the Airwrap mostly for curling , this is a worthwhile , time-saving addition . It also takes the fuss out of creating and setting curls . On the non-i.d. version , you 'll need to adjust each setting manually for each curl . Dyson Airwrap i.d . with some of its attachments ( Image credit : Dyson ) Both have a wide range of compatible attachments 3 new or upgraded attachments launched with the i.d . New attachments can be purchased separately and used with the original Airwrap Both versions of the Airwrap have a broad range of compatible attachments for different styling tasks . The tools you 'll get will depend on the Airwrap bundle you 've opted for -- there are different options geared towards different styling needs . So you could pick a Straight+Wavy Airwrap set , or a Curly+Coily one , or a Complete Long Volumize set . There are tools for curling , smoothing , and volumizing . If you just want to use the Airwrap to dry your hair , there 's also a compatible fast dryer attachment -- this makes it a potential alternative to the Dyson Supersonic ( head to our Dyson Supersonic vs Airwrap article to see exactly how the two match up ) . ( Image credit : Dyson ) Many of the attachment options are the same with the Airwrap vs Airwrap i.d. , but Dyson added three new attachments when it launched the latter . There 's a Conical Airwrap barrel for creating tighter curls that start closer to the root , andaBlade Concentrator for sleek styles . Dyson also upgraded its diffuser , shifting the Airwrap 's fairly standard diffuser to a two-part diffuser ( similar to the one included with the Supersonic Nural ) that can be used to shape and define curls , as well as for drying them . All of these new attachments are available to purchase separately from Dyson , and will work with either version of the Airwrap .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'got a lot out of being a cadet', where 'a lot' is not an NP object functioning as a causee, and there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

A WEST Cumbrian man has shared his joy after being named on the King 's New Year 2025 Honours list . Stuart McCourt , of Whitehaven , has been recognised for his work as a volunteer and his services to young people and the environment . He has been a part of the Sea Cadets in West Cumbria since the mid-1990 and has been a volunteer there for over 20 years . In over two decades of service , Stuart has helped a multitude of young people to excel in extracurricular activities . By working with young people in the cadets he has been able to support children and teenagers to gain invaluable experiences which they can go onto use in later life . His work has not gone unnoticed and he has now made it onto the King 's New Year Honours list for 2025 . He has been named a Medallist of the Order of the British Empire ( BEM ) . Mr McCourt said : " I was nominated for services to young people and the environment . I 've been recognised for my work with Whitehaven Sea Cadets where I 've been volunteering since 2001 . " I was the commanding officer for six years and during that time we were lucky enough to get a grant from the Cumbria Community Foundation to do a social action campaign with the cadets . " We sent thousands of packets of seeds to other cadet teams and youth groups . The intention is to create new habitats for bees and other pollinators . " It 's been brilliant working with the team for so long . I initially joined as a cadet in 1995 which I did for over five years . " Once I turned 18 I was invited back to become a volunteer . I took them up on the offer as I wanted to give something back to the community . " I 'd got a lot out of being a cadet so to be able to provide this opportunity to other kids has been brilliant . " I love being a part of the community in Whitehaven . I think we 're really lucky here that we 've got this kind of community spirit . To be able to help young people and give something back to the area has been amazing .

Lee Johnston has announced he will not be doing any road racing in 2025 after signing a deal to race for IN Competition Sencat in British Supersport . The Isle of Man TT , North West 200 and Ulster Grand Prix winner has been sidelined since suffering serious injuries at the North West in 2023 . While he 'd planned to be back for 2024 , a broken leg during testing meant he was forced to miss most of the road racing season again - though was able to compete at the Manx GP and the Macau GP . With Aschourt Racing pulling out of racing at the end of the year , Johnston has been able to secure a ride in British Supersport - in which he was also competing in 2024 - with IN Competition Sencat . The squad is expanding its support class presence in British Superbikes alongside its top class team with Lewis Rollo . However , Johnston confirmed on his YouTube channel that he will not be doing any road racing this year . He says the team does n't want to do it while others he spoke to did n't have enough experience for him to be able to commit . " As of 2025 , I am not going to be doing any road racing , " he said . " So , that 's no North West 200 , no Isle of Man TT , and this is not me having a big retirement speech . " This is not me saying I 'm retired from road racing . It 's just not possible to do that correctly next year . " I spoke to quite a few teams over the past four or five months , trying to get as much information in as I possibly could to try and make the plans for the future . " This team does not want to go road racing and that 's their decision and that 's their call . And I completely stand by that . " Some of the other teams that I spoke to that did want to go road racing did n't really have any road racing experience . " They had a little bit . I 've been in a good team for quite a few years , so to take a step back would be pointless . " With me missing the roads for a few years , the biggest thing I felt I needed was a genuine top team that knew how to do everything and there was no worry or extra risk added . " So , I thought it was better not to do the job if I could n't do it properly than just to go and make up the numbers or just be circulating and things not be right because I think that would frustrate me even more than the fact I 've not been fit to do it . " So , that is the plan for 2025 . We will not be doing any road racing , but then that makes us concentrate really hard on the British Supersport Championship . So , I 'm super excited about that .

" For me and many others , the ultimate objective is obviously to stay up , and as long as we continue to stick with the teams in the battle for survival , I do n't think there will be many complaints . " Has much changed since Steve Pitt replaced Angelo Harrop as manager ? " The immediately evident changes since the management switch have been the notable departures of Inih Effiong and Callum Powell in a bid to mend the budget , something Lee Harding highlighted as a necessity following Angelo Harrop 's dismissal . " Despite the outgoings though , Steve Pitt has n't shuffled the shape of the team drastically , utilising a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 , and aiming to get the best out of our forwards , something he mentioned post-match against Dagenham & Redbridge . " We still play direct to John Akinde 's strengths , but there has been an added element of freedom for the wingers in particular . " How confident are you of staying up ? " Much more confident following the Boxing Day victory . " As long as we continue to tick along and keep picking up points , particularly against the teams around us , I think we are in with a decent chance of staying up . " I feel it 's important we give Pitt and the players time to adjust , though it does n't look like there will be any drastic changes . " The general consensus is that the board went down the approach of getting somebody in who knows the club in order to steady the ship , so I 'm not expecting us to soar up the league , but I think the majority of supporters would be more than happy to see us finish 20th and survive on goal difference . " Who is the dangerman ? " Kyrell Lisbie . He has nine goals in 25 matches , coming from less than 10 league starts , though I think he 's definitely going to have a run in the team now . " He looked full of confidence against Dagenham , scoring two great goals and providing a constant threat in behind until he was substituted . " I imagine we will look to Lisbie to be that player to create something out of nothing if required , with his speed and quick dribbling being his primary strengths . " What 's the team news ? " I would be surprised to see many , if any changes from the last match . " Tariq Hinds may come in as a natural right-back for Marley Marshall-Miranda in the backline , with Miranda playing out of position and conceding a penalty in the first half . " Ryan Clampin may be in with a shout to start ahead of Frankie Terry too . " Outside of that , I would expect us to go unchanged , as there has been no reported injuries or suspensions .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'takes the effort out of brushing' does not involve a causee NP object that participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a reduction of effort in the activity of brushing, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'locals' is the NP object and 'living on Shetland' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also gives rise to a movement/extraction interpretation, as it can be paraphrased as 'Locals are being caused to move out of living on Shetland as if by pricing.' The verb 'priced' fits into the category of verbs that appear in the V1 slot, specifically under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically.' The NP subject is implied (e.g., 'economic forces' or 'the market') and can be an inanimate force, which is acceptable. The NP object 'locals' functions as a causee who participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Shetland has seen the starkest house price increases over the last year , as per new data ( Picture : Getty Images ) 100 miles off the coast of northern Scotland , you 'll find Shetland -- which , on top of being the windiest place in the UK , has seen the highest percentage growth in house prices over the last year . As per new research , the average house price in Shetland is now ? 215,170 , which marks a whopping increase of 21% since 2023 and 22% since 2019 . However , recent statistics from the Registers of Scotland suggested an even starker uptick , placing the growth at 30% since 2018 . This marks a considerable difference from the mainland , which has seen comparative increases of 23% . Unsurprisingly , it is n't just Shetland that 's seen house prices skyrocket in recent years . As per estate agent Hamptons findings , Cherwell in Oxfordshire was in second place with an average house price of ? 367,770 , marking a year-on-year increase of 9.3% and a five-year increase @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has seen prices jump up by 8.9% -- placing them at an average of ? 303,980 -- while Blaenau Gwent in Wales has undergone an uptick of 8.4% . For starters , it 's no secret that the islands are breathtakingly beautiful -- which no doubt is a push point in influencing people to relocate there . Between 1971 and 1981 , the population rose considerably -- by 31% -- on account of the oiling industry . However , since the 1980s it 's stayed relatively stable , increasing from just 22,000 to 23,000 , as per data from the Shetland Islands Council . Shetland is known for being breathtakingly beautiful ( Picture : Getty Images ) And , as the UK 's most northerly inhabited place , Unst -- a North Isle of the Shetland Islands -- is often referred to as the ' real life ' Treasure Island because the location heavily inspired the book 's author , Robert Louis Stevenson , who famously visited in 1869 . He even signed the visitors ' book @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by both his father and uncle . Striped with white and yellow , the same colours appear on the lighthouse in Treasure Island . What 's more , the book describes Treasure Island as having an appearance like ' a fat dragon standing up , ' which no doubt echoes the island 's shape and rugged landscape . One Shetland island inspired Treasure Island ( Picture : Getty Images ) But the man who wrote the historic tale was keen to preserve the sanctity of the island , as the BBC notes that in 1893 , he told the Sydney Morning Herald : ' I only wish myself that I knew where it was . ' He added that he wanted to be ' careful to give no indication as to its whereabouts for fear that there might be an undue rush towards it , ' even directing readers towards the ' West Indies . ' Wondering how on earth you get to the most northerly inhabited island in the British Isles ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Shetland Mainland or from neighbouring Yell . For travel just on foot , tickets cost just ? 2.80 for an adult , 80p for over 60s and children aged up to 19 . However , if you 're driving between islands , a return ticket will be more like ? 16.50 . From the mainland , you can travel from Toft to Ulsta on Yell , and then change for one from Gutcher in Yell to Belmont in Unst . It might sound convoluted , but it 's worth it . You can also take the 24 bus from Lerwick to Unst , or fly to Sumburgh Airport ( LSI ) in Shetland from Aberdeen , Edinburgh , Glasgow , or Inverness . Shetland is also inundated with stunning scenery and outdoor walks . In Unst , the prime beauty spot is found at Hermaness National Nature Reserve , from which there are views of Da Waithing Skerries , the group of offshore rocks where you 'll find Muckle Flugga -- the lighthouse that made it onto the pages of Treasure Island . It 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : Skaw Beach . Nestled in a hamlet which also houses the UK 's most northerly house ( are you spotting a theme here ? ) , the beach itself is gorgeous , white and pearly . Shetland has been described as a ' photographer 's dream ' ( Picture : Getty Images ) Elsewhere , the Shetland Tourism Board has described the isles as a ' photographer 's dream , ' recommending West Sandwick Beach and the Sands of Breckon , the Eshaness Cliffs and Lighthouse , and Dore Holm as prime beauty spots . All that aside though , there are concerns that Shetland 's skyrocketing house prices are beginning to price locals out . However , the Scottish Government has committed to building new affordable homes in a bid to combat this . ' Since April 2016 the Scottish Government has supported the delivery of more than 1,100 affordable homes on islands across Scotland and our commitment to deliver 110,000 affordable homes by 2032 -- at least 10% of which will be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ supported by our Rural and Islands Housing Action Plan , ' housing minister Paul McLennan said of the Registers of Scotland research earlier this year . The Scottish Government has supported affordable housing in the region ( Picture : Getty Images ) ' We have also delivered secondary legislation enabling local authorities to make decisions about the council tax treatment of second homes to determine the balance in the use of housing to meet local needs . I have encouraged councils to fully consider the role that second homes have in their communities and to use these additional powers where required . ' |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'pull out of filming' where 'filming' is a noun, not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object between the verb and 'out of', and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'pull out of filming' where 'filming' is a gerund acting as the object of the preposition 'out of', not as part of a VP2[-ing] predicate with a causee. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the sentence does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('We' + 'talk' + 'him' + 'out of doing things'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the subject is trying to prevent the object from doing something. The verb 'talk' is classified under means of verbal persuasion, which is one of the categories for V1 in the construction. The NP object 'him' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'doing things'. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it describes a man making a business out of modifying Amazon Fire Sticks, which does not involve a causee or a prevention/movement interpretation. The phrase 'out of modifying' is part of a prepositional phrase describing the nature of the business, not a VP2[-ing] predicate in the construction.

Couples spend months planning their weddings to make sure everything is perfect for the big day , so it 's no wonder they want nothing to derail their special moment . This is why one bride-to-be was left stunned when her cousin asked to make a special " announcement " during her wedding . The woman , who shared her story on Reddit , revealed her cousin - whom she gave the fake name Emily - wanted to announce her own engagement at the event . Despite being happy for her cousin , the bride-to-be felt it was inappropriate and would distract from her and her partner 's special day . She explained : " I congratulated her but immediately told her that my wedding day was n't the right time or place for her announcement . I explained that my fianc ? and I had spent a lot of time and money planning this day , and I did n't want anything taking attention away from the celebration . " The bride remained resolute in her decision despite Emily seeming " genuinely hurt " by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ announcement at her wedding . The confrontation led to Emily branding her " selfish " and gossiping to relatives about the situation . She added : " I stood my ground and said no , but she 's been sulking ever since . She 's even hinted to other family members that I 'm being selfish and insecure , and now my aunt ( her mum ) is calling me to say I 'm ' making a big deal out of nothing ' . " My fianc ? is 100% on my side and thinks it 's ridiculous for anyone to use someone else 's wedding to make a big announcement . But part of me wonders if I 'm overreacting . Emily swears she was n't trying to overshadow me , and I know it 's exciting for her to be engaged . " Commenters on the post rallied behind the concerned bride , arguing firmly her wedding should not be used as a stage for someone else 's big news . One person said : " When will people get the message that piggybacking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ She was asking to interject their moment into your costly entertainment event . That will have disruptive repercussions for the rest of the event . Someone this selfishly focused would likely never allow this at her own wedding . " Another person added : " Standard etiquette is NO engagement or pregnancy announcements at another 's wedding . Your cousin is trying to make it about her and not the newlyweds , and your aunt is an enabler .

Uunder-fire Philippe Clement insists HE has the final say on picking his Rangers team as he defended his disastrous festive squad rotation . The beleaguered Belgian appeared to perform a U-turn as he shot down his own admission the sports science department made the decision to rest in-form duo Vaclav Cerny and Hamza Igamane as more points were spilled against Motherwell on the back of defeat to St Mirren -- that 's left Gers a massive 14 points behind Celtic going into Thursday 's Old Firm showdown . Clement also revealed a huge defensive blow with skipper James Tavernier OUT of the clash and centre back Leon Bologun a major doubt . The Ibrox gaffer has come under fire for admitting he left out two of his top men due to tiredness having previously admitted he goes on the advice of club boffins when it comes to fitness . But Clement said : " People sometimes make conclusions that the sports ( science ) department makes the decisions about the team . That 's totally not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the letter . I 've been pushing players above this limit and I take the risk at that moment . If the players get injured , it 's my responsibility in that way . Rangers manager Philippe Clement ( Image : PA ) " And I did it several times this season , last season , the years before in other teams . But it 's just the normal way of working for everybody . " It was the really , really only sensible decision to make for this game . Would I love to start with them every game like they 're playing for the moment ? Yes , of course I would love to do that . " So I 'm not stupid to not do that . It 's in the benefit of the club , of the team and of the players themselves . But now , apparently , that 's the reason why we did not win the game against Motherwell . It 's not the case . " ( Image : Getty Images ) Clement insisted he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the move backfiring as the duo were needed to play almost an hour as Gers mounted a fightback to salvage a point . He said : " We would maybe lose more points the next couple of months if V ? clav and Hamza played , or tried to play , 90 minutes and they got injured for two , three months . It 's a normal thing all over the world with all the clubs who play that amount of games and with players who play international duty . " I understand that people do n't realise the effect that things have on the human body if it 's every three days . That 's why it 's also a massive difference between playing every three days in European football and international football in between , in these international breaks that these guys do n't have a break . " Vaclav played at this moment in time , two times the amount of minutes that he played last season . His body is adapting to that and he 's adapting really well because it 's already @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " But we were on the edge with him to let him break down and that would have been foolish . With Hamza , it 's also somebody who comes out of a league where he never played at this tempo . " He 's coping with that and he 's taking tremendous steps forward in a very short time . So that 's very positive . But we have a department especially for that . These people are paid for that to check the players every day . And it 's not only that . We speak with the players every day and conclusions are made . " Clement admitted he 's facing a defensive nightmare with Tavernier limping out , with right back Dujon Sterling already being used as a makeshift centre half . He said : " Of course it 's a blow and every injury is a blow . " We had a few blows in that way the last few weeks and months . " It 's about finding solutions . That 's what the team has been doing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the last two games , we lost goals a little bit out of nothing , not with really clear mistakes or being out of structure , totally not . " But in these last two games , every time that you have a shot on goal , it 's almost a goal . Those are the things that sometimes happen in football . Normally not so much two weeks in a row , but it 's been the case and we 've been chasing games because of that . We need to find solutions now for that position in a good way .

As he climbed up the 500-foot rockface El Matador , wedging small pieces of metal into the rock in the hope they would catch his fall , Jesse Dufton was almost entirely alone . Over his own labored breathing , panting and frustrated cursing , Dufton could hear the crackle in his ear of his wife and climbing partner , Molly Dufton , offering assurance and crucial guidance from the ground below . " I got you . Go on buddy , c'm on , " she calmly said through a headset . Calves burning , fingers pulsing , heart in his chest , up Dufton went , scrambling onto tiny handholds and jamming his legs in cracks to move up the sheer wall . Born with a degenerative eye condition called cone-rod dystrophy , Dufton is blind , able to see no more than a " bunch of flashing lights " if he were to hold his own hand in front of his face . But that 's not to say he was n't aware of how high he was free climbing on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Wyoming -- the " whizzing " of birds flying underneath his feet and the gusts of wind underneath him provided telling clues , he tells CNN Sport . " My fear level is now more correlated to the amount of danger that I perceive myself to be in . If I can be up high , but if the climbing is easy and I 've got loads of gear , I am not stressed . I am only stressed when I think I 'm going to fall off -- and I 'm even more stressed when the gear is n't good . " Though he started climbing aged two with his father , by 11 , Dufton had only 20% of his vision . His sight has gotten progressively worse , and now aged 39 , Dufton only has light perception . It took just a day for Dufton and his wife Molly to climb El Matador , climbing the monolith 's cracks , columns and overhangs to make him the first blind climber ever to achieve the feat . Their journey is documented in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ BritRock Films . The 500-foot rockface is located on the Devil 's Towel in Wyoming . BritRock Films Though Dufton had hoped to " on-sight " the route , which means climbing a route with no falls and never having watched another climber complete it -- " not a problem for me , " he chuckles -- a slip and a fall meant this was off the cards . He admits El Matador was " the hardest route I 've ever attempted . " But rather than let his lack of eyesight limit him , Dufton continues climbing impressive and technical rock faces , he says , as a way of " giving fate the middle finger . " " I do n't want to have my genetic fate determine my life choices , " he adds , musing that " crossing the road on the way into the office is more dangerous because I ca n't see the cars . I have no control over them , I 'm literally just listening for them ... in an instant you could die . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the certainty of missing out . " Dufton says that while climbing El Matador , he took " several massive whippers ( falls ) " but was fine because of preparation and mitigation methods . Dufton , who was born with a degenerative eye condition called cone-rod dystrophy , has been climbing since he was a child . BritRock Films His wife Molly tells CNN Sport that , once the hardest pitches at the beginning of the route were complete , " It was almost like we were celebrating kind of halfway up the wall . So when we got to the top , I think it 's almost a bit muted . It 's obviously amazing to get on the top . " She adds : " I 've been climbing for over 20 years myself and I climb to a decent level , but still , some of the stuff he gets up ... it 's just insane . " Dufton and his wife have spent the duration of their partnership climbing . After meeting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a system using a two-way radio to communicate . He climbs and she belays him on a rope , and vice versa . " If I 'm leading the climb , before I leave the ground , Molly will run through the route with me , and the things you 're looking for is to communicate what is the line of the route , and also , most importantly , where 's the first gear ( going to be placed ) , " Dufton explains . " We 've been doing it for a while , so it does n't feel like that unnatural anymore , " Molly says . " It just kind of seems almost normal now , but at the beginning , I think you do feel a lot of extra responsibility . " Obviously , you ca n't remember everything , so I just kind of focus on the important bits , like , where there 's a big ledge where he could rest , " she adds . " Once he 's on the wall , you do n't actually say that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kind of feeling the holds out . ' " The pair have climbed over 2,000 routes together -- and those , Dufton says , are just the ones they have bothered to officially log . " Often people ask us whether or not we argue . No , I think we 're very well-matched . And also , when we 're climbing , that takes up all the focus . It 's a pretty demanding mental activity . You 've got no space for anything else , " he explains . Dufton and his wife Molly have been climbing together since they met . BritRock Films For his part , Dufton relies on feel when ascending . " You pay attention to the non-visual clues moreso , harking back to feeling the footholds through your shoes . I 'm super picky about shoes because that sensitivity is really important to me . " That and endurance , which he describes as his superpower . " My finger strength is n't that great , but my endurance is incredible , " says Dufton , whose @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . However , sometimes , the couple 's system has its limitations . " ( Sometimes ) she 's way down below , and she just ca n't see , so especially on some pitches where you go around the corner or over a roof or something like that , well , the line of sight is blocked , " says Dufton . " She ca n't give you any information . That 's a fairly standard occurrence . " As with any high-stakes activity , theirs is a bond built on trust . " In any kind of normal climbing , you are literally putting your life in your partner 's hands because , if you fall off and they do n't catch you on the belay , you know , if you 're high up , you 're going to die , " he explains . " That is a fundamental part of any climbing partnership . " The fact that we are life partners as well , in some ways , does n't make that much difference , I think , because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " Molly agrees : " We 're both really passionate about ( climbing ) , so it is n't like a drain on one of us . And I almost get more out of watching him succeed than my own climbing . " |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'get' is transitive and selects an NP object 'a buzz', but it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of achieving more in the gym' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

Julian Tittershill 's wake-up call was not the progressive weight gain , the atrial fibrillation , or the enlarged ventricle . It was n't even the blood cancer diagnosis . Julian knew he needed to give up drinking because of the depression and anxiety that haunted him every morning-after . Julian , 52 , liked beer . His social life revolved around the pub . He was , and still is , a successful people manager for a large pharmaceutical company . But when he was n't working , he was enjoying a drink . His last four homes had bars in them . He was the life and soul of the party . He never drank spirits and does n't count himself as the archetypical alcoholic , reaching for spirits in the morning . He was ' mentally dependent ' and drank , on average , between 70 and 80 units a week , sometimes rising to 100 . The cumulative effect of all that grog was killing him . Today , apart from two accidental mouthfuls ( a sip of his wife 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ served bottle of Becks instead of Becks 0% ) Julian has not touched a drop in nearly four years . ' I would have a beer at dinner time , another while I was cooking dinner , and then beer or a bottle of wine , and I 'd finish the bottle off ' Unlike many teetotallers , he does n't sugar-coat sobriety . There are things he misses and things he 's had to give up . His social life has suffered , and friendships have changed . " There are one or two negatives , " he admits . " But I could list 20 positives to being alcohol free . It 's not perfect , but my life is 95 per cent better . " The positives include curing polycythaemia ( a benign form of blood cancer ) losing six stone , recovering heart health and lowering his blood pressure and bad cholesterol levels . Julian drank every day . " I would have a beer at dinner time , another while I was cooking dinner , and then beer or a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ off , " he says . " On Wednesdays I 'd have five or six pints at the pub . " Weekend drinking started straight after work in the pub each Friday , then continued again on Saturday afternoon and through the evening . " On Sunday I would subconsciously be thinking how quickly can I start cooking the roast and get a beer in my hand ? I could n't socially function without alcohol , " he admits . " Mentally , I was utterly dependent . I could n't exist socially as myself without alcohol . " All his friends were drinking buddies from the pub . During all this time Julian was a regular gym goer . He trained several times a week and ran . Despite this he gained more and more weight , reaching 19.5 stone by the age of 48 . " The training never had an impact , and I never saw a benefit , " he says . " I was 16 stone at 30 and realised I needed to do something , but the weight just went @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Julian was a functional drinker . There were no real car crash moments . " I remember once having several pints , getting on a bike , and falling into the middle of the road , sprawled out in front of a car , " he recalls . " And in my student days there was the time at a Christmas meal when I ran behind everybody and set their Christmas hats on fire . But generally , I never got drunk . I 'd get tired before I got drunk . " The health problems began to show in his mid-40s . " I had my first cardiovascular warning sign , which was atrial fibrillation , an irregular heartbeat , " Julian recounts . " The cardiologist said to me ' you are the stereotypical fat , middle-aged boozer . I see people like you 10 times a week , and nobody ever listens . You 'll have your first heart attack in the next five years or so . ' " Then , in 2020 , he was diagnosed with polycythaemia , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ too many red blood cells . " It puts you at a higher risk of stroke and heart attack , " says Julian . " The haematologist said it wo n't kill you tomorrow , but if you do n't start behaving , it will eventually . " After these health scares Julian managed to give up alcohol entirely for two months , after which he thought he could moderate his drinking . But within a few months the old habits were back and with them came disturbed sleep , post-drinking anxiety and depression . " I woke every morning feeling rough , thinking , why have I done it again ? Can I not just have one day off ? The hangovers were n't headaches , they became deeply psychological . It was the depression of waking up and thinking , I 've done it again . I was awake every night with anxiety , feeling so down and depressed . Every morning I said to myself today I wo n't drink , but by teatime I had a beer in my hand . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has impacted his social life , he says that 's been replaced by better things Credit : Paul Cooper for The Telegraph Julian and his wife Sharlean , who encouraged him to cut down over the years , have two adopted daughters . " I was n't particularly present . I was n't being a good husband or good father , " he confesses . It was during one of these nighttime anxiety attacks that Julian was scrolling on his phone and found One Year No Beer ( OYNB ) , an organisation that offers support , resources and coaching programmes to help people give up alcohol . The company offers subscription packages and Julian signed up for a year . It was the catalyst he needed , and he 's become an advocate for the programme . " I went all in with it , " he says . He realised that moderation was not going to work so with the help of strategies and the support network of OYNB he stopped drinking in June 2021 . Julian holding his marathon medals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Telegraph " I determined that the life I had created for the last 30 years was closed to me , " he says . " The pub was out so I had to find other things to do . I had six months of jigsaws because I needed something to do with my mind and hands . I then had my model aircraft phase . I walked a lot . This year I will have walked 10 million steps . I started writing a book . " He also increased his gym activity and took up running seriously . He says that physically he had no withdrawal symptoms . " The one real challenge was FOMO , or fear of missing out , " he continues . " It would be dishonest to say that social life does not suffer . It does . My relationships with a lot of friends have changed because I do n't go to the pub much any more , but overall , that part of my life has been replaced with much better things . " And although Julian can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not tempted to try and moderate . " If I thought I could go to the pub at five tonight , have several pints then wake up tomorrow and not drink again for six months I 'd do it , " he concludes . " But in alcohol-free communities you see people who think they can moderate , and they wake up six months later , right back to where they started . " At his heaviest , 6ft Julian weighed 19.5 stone . " I was getting fatter and fatter , " he says . He is now 13.5 stone . A body composition analysis records his total body fat at 14 per cent . His waist shrank from 42in to 32in . No more atrial fibrillation . His enlarged left ventricle is now a normal size . " I have a perfectly normal heart , " says Julian . " My pulse has gone from a resting heart rate of 72 to 52 . " Julian explains : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no longer have a fatty liver . My bad cholesterol level has halved . " Julian was diagnosed with polycythaemia , a blood disorder that put him at high risk of clots , stroke or heart attack . He needed three-monthly venesections to reduce the volume of his blood . He no longer needs the treatment , and his blood counts have normalised . Before quitting his haematocrit count -- the percentage of blood made of red blood cells -- was 56 . A healthy range is between 40 and 45 . It is now 42 . Julian previously averaged around six hours of broken sleep a night , punctuated by anxiety attacks . In 2024 he averaged eight hours 25 minutes sleep per night " which is just unbelievable . I easily get 25 per cent more sleep now " . Julian no longer suffers depressive episodes . " I do n't wake up in the middle of the night for two hours of overthinking , and full of self-loathing and anxiety , " he says @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from 76mins to 49 minutes . His 5k time is 23mins 35 secs , down from 30 mins . His half marathon time was 136mins , it is now 117mins . He has 48 running medals . He trains in the gym six days a week . " I get a buzz out of achieving more in the gym , lifting heavier and seeing if I can push it a little bit further , " he says . Sharlean says : " We get quality time with him instead of just time with him . We work together as a family now , there is n't a fifth member of our family ( booze ) . He does his fair share of the driving ! We no longer have to go to the pub to see him on the weekends . We were always second fiddle . We have conversations instead of him just singing drunken eighties songs at me . He listens . " Lexi , 15 , says : " He 's not a fatty anymore .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'take the hassle out of switching current accounts', where 'switching current accounts' is a gerund phrase functioning as the object of the preposition 'out of', not a VP2[-ing] predicate with a causee. Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

Cash incentives , better customer service and more competitive interest rates were among the top reasons why people said they had last switched their bank . Despite the rise of challenger brands and innovations with new banking app features , nearly half ( 49% ) of people aged 65 and over said nothing would make them consider moving their main source of income to a non-high street bank account . Peter Rothwell , a partner and head of banking at KPMG @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ overlooked by firms , adding : " The growing proportion of older consumers now represents a big opportunity , but also a challenge , for the banks .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses the phrase 'run out of' which is a phrasal verb indicating depletion, not a transitive out of -ing construction. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the sentence does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'prevent locals from being priced out of housing', which involves 'prevent...from' rather than the required 'out of' followed by a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not exhibit either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a proposed change of use and its incongruity with the residential character, which is unrelated to the transitive out of -ing construction.

In November , Teesside Live reported that an Acklam Road resident wanted to build a car wash in his garden , which would include four parking spaces and create six jobs , four of which would be full time . The plans detailed a new access point that would be created from Acklam Road into the car wash . Hewa Saleh explained his plans to the Local Democracy Reporting Service and defended the proposals against some of the common criticisms , such as noise and traffic congestion . Mr Saleh said the car cleaning operation , that would be operated in his front and back yard , would be a family business and would " impact the area very positively " . Nevertheless , when speaking to residents and members of the local community , there was little support for the proposed car wash . Now , council officers have rejected the proposals , following an extended consultation period that saw 97 objections and zero letters of support from public responses . In addition to this , council documents set out how " a cover letter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in objection to the scheme " . The delegated report detailed five reasons for refusal . One of these was that " in principle " , the plans were considered to be " an unacceptable form of development " . Additionally , the report said : " The information that has been submitted is insufficient due to a lack of detail and there are inaccuracies in the plans that have been submitted " . The impact on the character and appearance of the area was listed as another reason for refusal . " The proposed change of use including the erection of the proposed structures ( canopy and waiting room ) would appear incongruous and out of keeping with the residential character of the site and street scene " , the delegated report explained . The impact on amenity and highways were the other two reasons listed for refusal . On neighbourly amenity , the report said : " The introduction of the proposed commercial use within a residential curtilage is considered to have a significant impact on the amenity of neighbours in terms of noise and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wash was described as " poor " and there was deemed to be insufficient parking , which would " damage the fabric of the public highway , interfere with the free flow of traffic " , according to council officers . The applicant , Mr Saleh , now has 12 weeks from the date of refusal notice ( December 30 ) to appeal against the decision to the Secretary of State . The council 's Authorising Officer , Andrew Glossop believes that the case of refusal is clearly justified with a good chance of the decision being supported at appeal .

Now Kate -- best known for the Underworld vampire series , Pearl Harbor and Martin Scorsese 's The Aviator -- has broken Hollywood 's code of silence . She says she was " felt up " aged 18 by a trusted crew member , was left covered in bruises by an actor who got a " thrill " out of striking her ? during filming , and was forced to go through with a photoshoot the day after suffering a miscarriage . Kate , who struggled with anorexia when she was 15 , also told how she was made to undertake a dangerously strict diet by image-obsessed showbusiness bosses . Now she has decided to speak out following the explosive row between Blake Lively and It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni . " I was gaslit and made to feel like I was the problem , blamed and ? ostracised , left out of cast dinners , not spoken to , as soon as I mentioned that there was a problem . " Kate Beckinsale hits back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ looking like a pile of puke ' What is remarkable is that someone who has showbusiness in their blood was treated with such contempt . Kate 's dad was Porridge star ? Richard Beckinsale , who died aged 31 in 1979 from a heart attack , and her mum is actress Judy Loe . But right from the start of her career , Kate says she experienced shocking behaviour . Movie mogul Harvey Weinstein , 72 , invited Kate , who was then just 17 , up to his hotel room to discuss her fledgling career . Kate has claimed that the producer -- who is now serving 16 years in prison for rape and sexual assault -- appeared in a bath robe and offered her alcohol . She turned down the offer of booze and told him she had to go to school the next morning . A year later , Kate could not escape a different predator on set . In the video posted on Instagram this week , she said : " I was actually , at the age @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trusted on a crew . " When she told an actress " who is known for being a supporter of women " about the sexual assault , she was told " it did n't " happen . Kate continued : " I went to another actress and said , crying , ' I 've just been assaulted by this man ' -- again , ' No , you have n't been ' . " The industry appeared to close ranks again when Kate had to deal with an unnamed drunken co-star . Kate , who shares daughter Lily , 25 , with her actor ex Michael Sheen , claimed : " I 've been on a film where , by the end of it , I was referred to over walkie-talkies and to my face as ' that c** ' because I had said , ' I 'm finding it very difficult -- my co-star is drunk every day . " ' He 's obviously going through something and I have full sympathy for that , but I 'm also waiting , as is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ learn his lines and it means I 'm not getting to see my daughter in the evenings for the whole movie ' . " She added that the studio 's response was to give her a bike so she could ride around the studio lot while she was waiting . Fans speculated about who the drunken co-star could be , wrongly jumping to the conclusion that it was Kate 's Pearl Harbour co-star Ben Affleck , who has admitted dealing with alcoholism over the years . But Kate defended Ben , saying : " Ben Affleck protected me on an extremely toxic film set and could not have behaved more respectably . " 6 The Brit actress as vampire assassin Selene in UnderworldCredit : Rex Kate has previously spoken about how she was told to lose weight by the director of the 2001 big-budget film , which made her feel " ugly " . Michael Bay 's toxic attitude was laid bare in an interview with the New York Times in 2001 where he said he was n't going to cast Kate , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " romantic lead because " it was easy to think of this woman as something of a slut " . It was not the only time Kate was expected to meet Hollywood 's twisted beauty standards . She says : " I was put on such a strict diet and exercise programme for a movie that I lost my period altogether -- that has happened twice . " A disregard for Kate 's mental and physical welfare has been a recurring theme . One time she was told to go ahead with a photoshoot even though she had just endured a miscarriage . The actress alleged : " I was forced by a publicist that I was employing to do a photoshoot the day after I had a miscarriage . " She told her adviser : " I ca n't . I 'm bleeding . I do n't want to go and change my clothes in front of people I do n't know and do a photoshoot . I 'm bleeding out a miscarriage . " But the publicist reportedly told her : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " The actress is experienced in throwing a fake punch or delivering a realistic drop kick , having played an assassin in five Underworld movies and starring in action movies Total Recall and Van Helsing . But during one unidentified shoot , Kate said one actor was so rough with her that " he destroyed part of my costume and ripped my wig in half , not to say covered me in bruises , winded me and scared me half to death " . The revelations are not the first time Kate has spoken out about bullying . ' It has to stop ' She previously alleged that Weinstein called her a " stupid , f**ing c** " for wearing a loose- fitting white suit to the premiere of 2001 's Serendipity instead of a " tight dress " . Many women hoped the MeToo movement , which was sparked by the sexual abuse allegations against Weinstein , would lead to improvements within the male-dominated industry . But Kate thinks those hopes have been dashed . She commented : " What 's really @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ saying , ' Oh , it was very ? different a while ago , you know , the climate is so different and it 's so much better ' . It f**ing is n't . " The MeToo debate has been reignited by Blake Lively suing Justin Baldoni . The Gossip Girl actress , who is married to Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds , claims in the legal action that she had to ask Baldoni to cease his inappropriate behaviour on the set of It Ends With Us , including showing her explicit clips . Blake also alleges Baldoni responded by hiring a publicity team to " destroy " her reputation . Baldoni has denied the claims . Kate does not know Blake or Justin and said she was not ? speaking about their case , but rather wider issues in Hollywood . She went on to say she has around " 47million stories " of inappropriate behaviour within the business . The actress , who was married to Underworld director Len Wiseman for five years until 2019 , has now taken down her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ followers to stop speculating about the identities of the men who she has claimed harassed her . But Kate has taken a crucial stand against Hollywood , insisting it needs to change . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'take the guesswork out of cooking times' involves an NP ('the guesswork') as a complement of the complex preposition 'out of', and 'cooking' modifies the following noun 'times', similar to example (7b). There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the sentence does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Reasoning
×
The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('they have mostly ducked out of making a choice between Putin and Kyiv'). It implies a prevention interpretation, where 'they' are avoiding making a choice. The verb 'ducked' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically'. The NP subject 'they' is an animate agent, and the construction gives rise to a prevention interpretation, fitting the criteria for the transitive out of -ing construction.

Last year we were so desperate for things to turn out for the best that we could n't stop worrying about the worst . Elections gave populists everywhere some prospect of power but 2024 still did n't seem like the 1930s . The world 's wars started to thread together but not in a way that suggested an imminent world war . We look for hope in 2025 but have already concluded that hope is irrational . There is one slim consolation though and it 's this : Vladimir Putin 's ramshackle empire is falling apart . His strongman credentials were based on Moscow 's control over natural resources , its global reach and a musclebound nuclear-backed military , but also on Putin 's confidence that he can out-shout and outwit his adversaries with a growing network of allies . Now it turns out these allies have been hollowed out by what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , since that rot has taken root in the quarter century of Putin 's rule , it has become clear that Mother Russia is as rotten as its hangers-on . All imperial constructs follow a similar pattern of decay . Western Rome fell because of military losses to the Goths on the boundaries of empire , the financial crisis stemming from war spending , labour shortages , the neglect of civil infrastructure at home and the brutalisation of captive territories . The Habsburg empire too began to unravel at its mismanaged peripheries , with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in 1914 . Putin is the very embodiment of imperial overstretch . There is then a very practical question to be addressed . Does the implosion of the Assad regime ( and the dictator 's expensively negotiated flight to Moscow ) provide a pointer to the future of his Kremlin patron ? The conversation is no longer about Putin 's strategic ambition -- expanding Russia 's hold on the rare mineral exploitation of Africa , the coming dismemberment of Europe 's security apparatus , its central @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the Russian-Chinese duopoly on Earth and in space as the new US administration withdraws into a geopolitical shell . No , the pressing issue is : who is next on the redundancy list after Assad , and how quickly will Putin 's protective layers be peeled away ? One bet is on the galloping self-destruction of Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus , in power since 1994 . He is already gearing up for another sham presidential election at the end of January . During the last such election in August 2020 , 18 months before the Russian invasion of Ukraine , Moscow advised its ally on how to squash protests . This time round , opposition leaders in Belarus are urging their supporters to bide their time : the anti-Putin , anti-Lukashenko chemistry is likely to be different and will need strategic guidance that is difficult to deliver from a prison cell . For the Minsk regime , much will depend on the terms on which the Ukraine war can be ended -- if Putin is depicted by his domestic ultranationalist critics as having struck a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to signal strength in other ways by making the infrastructure in both Russia and Belarus even more vicious . So far , Lukashenko has survived by closely studying Putin , anticipating the Kremlin reaction to external and internal challenges . No crack team of CIA analysts tracks Putin as closely as his supposedly closest ally in Minsk . But will Lukashenko still be able to count on Moscow 's support in a crisis ? Or will he soon be inhabiting a sterile high-rise apartment alongside the Assad family , living off his squirrelled-away fortune ? President Lukashenko of Belarus likes to keep firm tabs on what is happening in the Kremlin EFA KARACAN/ANADOLU/GETTY IMAGES The disgraced Ukrainian leader Viktor Yanukovych already lives in Moscow 's posh suburb of Rublyovka ( Putin put him on standby to resume the Ukrainian presidency after launching the unsuccessful February 2022 attack on Kyiv . ) More will be on the way in 2025 . Increasingly desperate Nicol ? s Maduro of Venezuela , perhaps ? Russia 's imperial hub is beginning to resemble an upmarket version of EastEnders , with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Joining the show in the coming year could be some of the leaders of the pro-Kremlin Georgian Dream party , whose slavish adherence to Putin 's playbook has set the country alight . After allegedly rigging elections in October , says the Georgian film-maker Anna Japaridze , " it felt like we were sleepwalking into becoming a Russian vassal state ... the government announced that Georgia 's EU integration talks would be suspended until 2028 , in a country where public support for joining the bloc has polled around 80 per cent " . As a result , she says , " the mood suddenly shifted . People were no longer defeated , they were furious . " The outgoing president Salome Zurabishvili still refuses to concede defeat and joined the new year street protests against the manipulated election . The Georgian Dream machine rolled on regardless , with its chosen candidate , the ex-Manchester City striker Mikheil Kavelashvili , being sworn in as president . The result : a deeply polarised state . Putin counts that as a win . The revolt on the Russian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ allies and from oppressed neighbours who fear they are being bulldozed into conformity . Putin 's position weakens by the day . That has real strategic consequences . Since Ukrainians have been using western cruise missiles to drive Russia 's Black Sea fleet out of the Crimean peninsula , Putin 's naval commanders have been looking to expand the port of Ochamchire in the Russian-occupied Georgian territory of Abkhazia . Satellite images show this project is advancing quickly . The risk of the Putin ploy : that the Ukrainian war spreads to Georgia . President Putin 's plans depend on maintaining a large naval presence on Georgian soil MIKHAIL METZEL/SPUTNIK/AP Also part of his strategic calculation : a big Russian naval presence on Georgian soil will make Nato think twice about extending alliance membership to the Georgians . Abkhazia and South Ossetia , both frozen conflicts since 2008 when Moscow snatched the territories , risk coming back into play , new battlegrounds in a desperate never-ending war against the West . Rational behaviour for a leader who wants calm and docile neighbours on his borders ? Not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Putin has shown he is not afraid of stirring up trouble to unsettle Europe or control sea lanes considered important for Russian security . But the long wheezing battle against Ukraine is rallying Putin 's unhappy neighbours . So far they have mostly ducked out of making a choice between Putin and Kyiv . Now leaders are using varying methods to distance themselves from Putin . At a summit in Astana , attended by Putin , the Kazakh president Kassym-Jomart Tokayev addressed leaders in the Kazakh language , not Russian . His point : the Soviet Union no longer exists and we do n't have to dance around the man from Moscow . Meanwhile , Armenia , once a loyal ( and dependent ) ally of Russia , has let it be known it does not want to stay in the Russia-dominated Collective Security Treaty Organisation : it was disappointed by Putin 's lack of support in a brief unsuccessful war with Azerbaijan over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh . The Armenian premier , Nikol Pashinyan , was blunt about it : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the process of winding down its role in the wider South Caucasus region . " That 's more than a sigh of impatience about Moscow 's long , distracting war against Ukraine . It 's a sense that Putin himself is abdicating from some of his key beliefs -- that the dissolution of the Soviet Union was an epochal disaster and that he considered it his sacred duty to be the security anchor of post-Soviet states . It was Vladimir Putin who sneered at Joe Biden 's clumsily executed US withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021 : a clear signal , he suggested , that America was in decline , unable to defend its allies or its values over the long haul . That was a bit of point-scoring . But it also concealed a source of Putin 's self-doubt . Putin and the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un . North Korea is supplying troops in the war against Ukraine KRISTINA KORMILITSYNA/SPUTNIK/AP In 1989 he was still a KGB officer based in Dresden in communist East Germany . That was the year when communist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the year when Soviet forces finally withdrew from Afghanistan , the first time a superpower had been defeated by a radical Islamic group . It was the year when Chinese communist authorities demonstrated resolve and held on to power by slaughtering protesters in Tiananmen Square . And 1989 ended for Putin with the collapse of the Berlin Wall , the burning of sensitive files in the Soviet consulate , and the return to a dispirited Soviet Union which already seemed to be in its death throes . Although 2024 was n't quite that dramatic , there are enough whispering echoes from that year of collapse to rattle those around Putin . The central question in 1989 was how can you reform and still retain control ? Now the Putin years have reframed that rather academic question ( answer : you enrich loyalists and pretend to reform ) into how can Russia recover its greatness and command global respect ? If Putin stays true to form he will push for the retention of Russian bases in Syria as a nod to global clout but will go all-out for victory in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world is being decided in the Donbas , " says Aleksandr Baunov of the Carnegie Russia Eurasia group , " then the future of Syria will be decided there as well . " Putin has persuaded fellow members of his Axis of Doom that Ukraine is a civilisational struggle against malign western encroachment , which is exposing American arrogance , not Russian decline . North Korea 's Kim Jong-un would not have sent weapons and men into Putin 's battle if he thought the Russians were going to lose . Kim is offering Putin his soldiers as human tribute . Their lives , he may calculate , are cheap compared with the potential rewards that will be bestowed on North Korea should the Russians win out . It 's a reminder of how Moscow used to hint to its allies that an act of solidarity towards a nuclear-armed state can go a long way . A wise investment in uncertain times . Putin with the former Syrian president Bashar al-Assad . Ultranationalists in Russia are already referring to Syria as " our catastrophe " SPUTNIK/VALERIY SHARIFULIN/REUTERS @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now largely missing in action . Russia saved Assad by bombing Aleppo in 2015 but there has been no follow-through by , for example , training Assad 's army . Russian military academies teach future officers the exemplary use of air power in flattening rebels but the most significant presence in Syria for the past few years has been military intelligence spying on Turks in the north , on Israeli strikes against Iranian units in Syria , and on the tensions between Bashar al-Assad and his brother Maher . Putin could have done more to shield Assad from his hopeless decisions but chose not to . Ultranationalists in Russia are already calling Syria " our catastrophe " . And Russian military analysts are being remarkably free-spoken about Moscow 's failings in Syria as a cloaked way of criticising the war in Ukraine . " In a modern world , victory is only possible in a fast and short war , " wrote the military commentator Ruslan Pukhov the other day in an article that certainly reflects a prominent strand of thinking in the general staff . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ off , for 13 years . The Ukraine incursion is about to enter its fourth year . Putin , the generals might be thinking now , does n't really understand the concept of victory . This will be important for Donald Trump to understand after he enters the White House and broods on how to end the war in Ukraine . He will be dealing with a more wounded and lonelier Putin than in his first term . It is easy enough to make the point to Putin that the war has become an act of self-harm for him . Why lose an empire ( even a wobbly one ) for a chunk of forsaken land in Donbas ? Yevgeny Prigozhin was eliminated after getting out of hand AFP/GETTY IMAGES War has blindsided the Russian leader . His poor management and eventual elimination of the Wagner mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin took away the ability of Russian contractors to work in and out of Syria ; also the profitable underside of opportunistic war -- the arms trafficking , the gold smuggling , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from Niger to Latakia . Putin and his intelligence chiefs failed to see how Israel was depleting Iran in Syria . Russian air-traffic controllers looked the other way when Israel struck at Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps targets . The result : not only the humiliation of Assad but also the deep distrust of the Iranians . And Putin has underestimated Turkey 's President Erdogan who outplayed him in the ousting of Assad . So , of course , Putin has not only lost allies , he has burnt his boats in the global south , in countries whose rare metals and minerals he craves as part of his pretension to be a superpower leader . The score sheet from the war on Ukraine does not flatter him . Parts of the Russian region of Kursk are still occupied by Ukrainian troops , the Black Sea fleet has been hit hard , Donbas has been flattened , hundreds and thousands of Russian soldiers have been killed and seriously wounded , the shift to a war economy has aggravated labour shortages and inflation , bankruptcies are on the increase . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ foot , he would see scenes similar to those he witnessed when he returned to Russia from Dresden in 1989 : unaffordable prices , limbless veterans . Putin , it is clear , should get out of the war business . He 's no good at it . Is Donald Trump the right man to deliver that message ? Probably not -- he can barely hide his eagerness to pick up the Nobel peace prize in 2025 and could therefore be easily hoodwinked . He is dealing with a man who in his memoirs described the life lessons he learnt when cornering a desperate rat in his St Petersburg apartment block . Perhaps Trump could try some plain-speaking instead of oily flattery when they meet again face to face . You are the rat now , he could say , and this is my stick . |

Reasoning
×
The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'part of me' is the NP subject, 'has chickened' is the V1, 'out of making it' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also fits the prevention interpretation, as the subject is preventing itself from making a version of 'Frankenstein'. The verb 'chickened' can be categorized under means of exerting force or pressure metaphorically. The NP object 'me' is coreferential with the subject 'part of me', which is an atypical but acceptable type of NP object in this construction.

One selling point is that the film was shot at real racing circuits , and features numerous real Formula One drivers . But another intriguing aspect is who it does n't feature .

The journey they take is an actual road trip as well as a metaphor . Farrell plays David , who is en route to a wedding , driving a 1996 car that has a magical GPS , when he meets Sarah ( Robbie ) . The strangers go off together , guided by the car 's sixth sense , and discover they have a mysterious connection . Lily Rabe , Jodie Turner-Smith and Phoebe Waller-Bridge also star .

( CJ ) Releases 9 May The Running Man is a novel written by Stephen King , using the pseudonym Richard Bachman , which was published in 1982 . Set in a far-fetched alternate reality in which the US of the year 2025 is a totalitarian dystopia , the novel features a scrawny family man who is so desperate for money that he signs up for a dangerous television game show : he has to survive for 30 days while being chased around the world by the TV network 's trained killers . The novel was the basis of a daft 1987 action film , starring an extremely unscrawny Arnold Schwarzenegger , which is remembered mainly for the sub-James Bond puns he uses when he kills someone , such as " He had to split ! " And : " He was a real pain in the neck !

( NB ) Releases December 2025 The masterful zombie-apocalypse movie 28 Days Later ( 2002 ) quickly became a classic , with a little-known Cillian Murphy as a survivor in a world decimated by a virus that caused rage and turned people into the walking dead .

Jodie Comer and Ralph Fiennes also feature . When the trailer dropped , it became the second most watched horror trailer of all time and created a surge of speculation that a skeletal creature was the zombified version of Murphy 's character .

Pictures ( Credit : Warner Bros . Pictures ) Bong Joon-ho directed Parasite , the international hit which became the first film not in the English language to win the Oscar for best picture . But that came out back in 2019 , so we 've had a long wait for the Korean director 's follow-up .

As we said last year , Bong has made a science-fiction thriller about a man called Mickey ( Robert Pattinson ) who volunteers to be an " expendable " , that is , a labourer on a deep-space mission who is cloned every time he is killed . Adapted from a novel by Edward Ashton , the plot thickens when more than one Mickey is allowed to live at the same time . ( NB ) Releases March 2025 Almost everything about the new film from Paul Thomas Anderson is veiled in secrecy except the fact of its existence , but that alone is good reason to look forward to it . We know he is daring and varied in his work , most recently with the delicately crafted drama Phantom Thread ( 2017 ) and the offbeat romantic comedy Licorice Pizza ( 2021 ) . Given that range , it would be foolish to guess what the new film might be , but we know it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Sean Penn , Regina Hall , Teyana Taylor and Alana Haim .

Who knows about that , but there is intriguing photographic evidence of Leo and PT together on the shoot . ( CJ ) Releases 8 August in the US and UK Rian Johnson ( Credit : Rian Johnson ) Daniel Craig may have made his last ever Bond film , but he seems happy to keep playing Benoit Blanc , the puzzle-solving sleuth with the dapper dress sense and the extravagant Southern accent . The third in the deliciously devious Knives Out series , Wake Up Dead Man is once again written and directed by Rian Johnson , and once again named after a pop song ( by U2 in this case ) . It also boasts a typically star-studded cast of potential killers and victims , including Josh Brolin , Thomas Haden Church , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Spaeny . Will Hugh Grant return as Benoit 's partner , as spotted for a moment in Glass Onion ? That 's one of the many things we do n't know about Wake Up Dead Man , but if it matches Johnson and Craig 's first two satirical murder mysteries , it should be one of the year 's most entertaining films . ( NB ) Releases in 2025 Maggie Gyllenhaal proved that she has a true director 's vision with her first film , The Lost Daughter ( 2021 ) , an eloquent adaptation of Elena Ferrante 's novel . She makes an even bolder move with an imaginative take on The Bride of Frankenstein , set in 1930s Chicago . Christian Bale plays the monster who needs an appropriately patched-together mate , and Jessie Buckley is the Bride . There is an echo of the 1935 classic in her look . Elsa Lanchester had an electric streak of white hair in the original movie , and Buckley has a platinum blonde period style . But this Bride also sets off a social movement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will be . " There are big dance numbers , " Peter Sarsgaard , Gyllenhaal 's husband , told The Hollywood Reporter .

They 're from different time periods , but what 's a little time travel between Frankensteins ? ( CJ ) Releases 26 September 2025 in the US and UK This off-kilter true crime story and romance from Derek Cianfrance ( Blue Valentine ) sounds like a romp . Channing Tatum stars as the real-life Jeffrey Manchester , who robbed a series of McDonald 's by cutting holes in the roof .

Juno Temple , Peter Dinklage , LaKeith Stanfield and Ben Mendelsohn also star in this you-couldn't-make-it-up tale . ( CJ ) Releases 3 October 2025 Paramount Pictures ( Credit : Paramount Pictures ) Could The Final Reckoning be the final Mission : Impossible film ? The action-espionage series began back in 1996 , and its star , Tom Cruise , is now 62 , so it might be time for him to stop running through cities and hanging onto the side of planes in mid-air . On the other hand , maybe that subtitle is just a snappier alternative to its wordy working title , Mission : Impossible -- Dead Reckoning Part Two . The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , was a box-office disappointment in 2023 , so Cruise and his writer-director , Christopher McQuarrie , may prefer audiences to think of this one as a stand-alone blockbuster rather than the second half of an ongoing story . Either way , Ethan Hunt and his gang ( played by Ving Rhames , Simon Pegg and Hayley Atwell ) will be racing around the world , dodging explosions and assassins , in their attempt to foil a dastardly AI known as the Entity . ( NB ) Releases May 2025 Wicked has made over half-a-billion dollars at the box office , so there 's no doubt about the ready audience for this film . Formerly known as Wicked Part 2 , its new title is taken from a duet sung by Elphaba and Glinda in the musical 's second half , which follows a time jump between the two parts . Cynthia Erivo 's Elphaba is now firmly the Wicked Witch of the West and Ariana Grande 's Galinda now Glinda the Good Witch .

Berger told Deadline , " If Conclave is a really well-constructed chess game , very architectural , this embraces chaos and opera .

When his gangster brother ( Daniel Wu ) sends a pair of goons to his house , Marvin has no choice but to show off his martial arts skills once again . It is n't the most original plot ever , but Love Hurts does look fun . Besides , it co-stars Ariana DeBose , who won the best supporting actor Oscar in 2022 for West Side Story , making it one of the only action comedies to have two Oscar winners in the central roles .

Oscar Isaac plays Frankenstein , who has a mad , demonic look in his eyes , and Jacob Elordi is the monster . The film 's period look is true to Shelley 's 1818 novel with nods to the lab in the classic 1931 Frankenstein movie . The project has been simmering in various incarnations since 2008 and in Del Toro 's mind for much longer . " Frankenstein to me is the pinnacle of everything , and part of me wants to do a version of it , part of me has for more than 25 years chickened out of making it , " he said in 2016 . In a world full of Frankenstein movies , there 's none I 'd rather see than del Toro 's .

And in 2024 , the only Marvel film was Deadpool & Wolverine -- and that one made a point of using characters from other studios , rather than from Disney 's Marvel Cinematic Universe . But Marvel is hoping to bounce back with three potential blockbusters in 2025 . In February , there 's Captain America : Brave New World , with Anthony Mackie as the new Captain America and Harrison Ford as the Red Hulk . In May , there 's Thunderbolts , which teams up various supporting characters and anti-heroes , including Florence Pugh 's Yelena and Sebastian Stan 's Bucky . But Marvel 's most feverishly anticipated offering is The Fantastic Four : First Steps , with Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby . This retro-futuristic sci-fi caper is set in the 1960s , when Stan Lee and Jack Kirby 's original comic was launched , so it should look different from any other Marvel film . Anyway , it can only be an improvement on the last Fantastic Four film , from 2015 , which was one of the greatest debacles in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Releases July 2025 Warner Bros . Pictures ( Credit : Warner Bros . Pictures ) Both of Hollywood 's major superhero film studios are relaunching in 2025 . Marvel is having a soft reboot , in that its stories will focus on a new group of characters , but will be set in the same fictional universe as all of its previous films . But DC is wiping the slate clean , which means that Henry Cavill 's Superman , Ben Affleck 's Batman , Gal Gadot 's Wonder Woman and the rest will be nowhere to be seen . That 's probably for the best . James Gunn ( Guardians of the Galaxy , The Suicide Squad ) is overseeing the new DC Universe , which suggests that it might have a bit more light and humour than the last few DC efforts .

Christine Vachon , who has produced both Song films , predicted , " She 's going to be the kind of director who does n't make the same movie twice " . Sure enough , she moves into lighter , romcom territory with Materialists , starring Dakota Johnson as Lucy , a matchmaker who has to deal with her own romantic dilemma .

Now he is producing a whole film that revolves around those apartments , a coming-of-age musical set in the summer of 1977 . The director is Michel Gondry , the eccentric French genius who made The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind , and the cast includes Halle Bailey ( The Little Mermaid ) , Da'Vine Joy Randolph ( The Holdovers ) , Quinta Brunson ( Abbott Elementary ) , Janelle Mon ? e and Missy Elliott herself . More importantly , the songs are by Pharrell , together with Benj Pasek and Justin Paul ( The Greatest Showman , La La Land ) , so Golden should have one of 2025 's best soundtrack albums , if nothing else . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( Credit : Disney ) This will be a big year for live-action remakes of cartoons . In May , Disney is releasing Lilo & Stitch , and in May , Universal / DreamWorks is releasing How to Train Your Dragon -- although we can assume that Stitch and the dragons are CGI rather than live-action per se . But the remake which is making all the headlines is Disney 's Snow White , a new version of the studio 's very first animated feature film , 1937 's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs . It has created controversy on social media for all sorts of reasons , including the ethnicity and the politics of its stars , and a screenplay ( co-written by Greta Gerwig ) which reimagines Snow foments a revolution against her wicked stepmother ( Gal Gadot ) . Let 's hope that all of this controversy does n't dwarf the film itself . ( NB ) Releases March 2025 Just trust him . Noah Baumbach @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Squid and the Whale , knows what he 's doing , even if Netflix is n't ready to say much about what that is yet , not even offering up a title . It is a comedy written with Emily Mortimer ( The Pursuit of Love ) and has a cast of people you would n't necessarily think belong in the same film , which is probably the point .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'made a career out of helping people declutter their homes' involves an NP ('a career') as a complement of the complex preposition 'out of', and 'helping' modifies the following noun phrase 'people declutter their homes'. It does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, nor does it involve a causee in the NP object position.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'opt' is the V1, 'it' is the NP object, and 'getting it altogether' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also induces a prevention interpretation, as the action of opting out prevents the NP object from getting something. This aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Christmas may be out of the way , but another important date in the calendar is looming : the deadline for filing your tax return -- and paying your bill -- is January 31 . More than 12 million people are expected to complete a self-assessment tax return for the 2023-24 tax year , according to HM Revenue & Customs . Many choose to do theirs over the festive period -- between Christmas Eve and Boxing Day this year 40,072 people filed their tax return . More than 4,400 did theirs on Christmas Day . But if you were busy eating mince pies and watching reruns of your favourite Christmas films instead , do n't worry . There is still time to file yours on time and avoid any late-payment penalties . GETTY IMAGES The self-employed need to complete tax returns , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Employed workers earning more than ? 150,000 a year have to file a self assessment -- this earnings threshold went up from ? 100,000 in 2023 . Those with a side hustle , earning additional income outside of their main job , may also need to file a return . Everyone gets a ? 1,000-a-year trading allowance , which means you can make ? 1,000 in gross income ( what you earn before expenses ) tax-free , but anything earned above this threshold is subject to income tax at your usual rate . There is also a separate ? 1,000 property allowance for those who make money from their home , such as renting out a garage or driveway . Those who claimed child benefit for the 2023-24 tax year but earned more than ? 50,000 in that year may also have to file a tax return to pay some of the benefit back . Anyone who has earned a lot of interest or dividends in the tax year , outside of an Isa or pension , may also need to file a self @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shares was ? 1,000 for the 2023-24 tax year . For anything above that , dividends are taxed at 8.75 per cent for basic-rate taxpayers , 33.75 per cent for higher-rate payers , and 39.35 per cent for additional-rate payers . Those who are unsure about whether they need to complete a tax return can use the checking service at gov.uk . A rising number of taxpayers are having to file self-assessment returns thanks to a process called fiscal drag , where the thresholds that determine which tax rate you pay do not move in line with wages . This means that as more people get pay rises they risk moving into the higher 40 per cent tax bracket , or the 45 per cent additional-rate bracket . More pensioners are filing tax returns because the personal income allowance ( the amount you can earn before paying tax ) has been frozen at ? 12,570 since 2021 , while the state pension has increased . The full new state pension is now worth about ? 11,500 a year , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ additional income will find themselves paying some tax . More families were also dragged over the child benefit earnings threshold which was ? 50,000 from 2013 until last year when it was raised to ? 60,000 . Your eligibility for the benefit reduces gradually as your earnings rise over ? 60,000 , which means that you have to repay 1 per cent for every extra ? 200 you earn . Those who earn ? 80,000 are entitled to nothing so either have to pay it all back or opt out of getting it altogether . About 355,000 parents had to pay back some child benefit for the 2020-21 tax year , according to the latest figures from HMRC , up 20 per cent from 295,000 five years ago . GETTY IMAGES Once you have confirmed that you need to complete a tax return , the first thing to do is register with HMRC online . The registration deadline for the 2023-24 tax year was October 5 . You may be charged a penalty for missing this deadline , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the tax owed , but you probably wo n't have to pay if you complete your return and pay your tax bill by the January 31 deadline . Those filing for the first time will be sent a unique tax reference number ( UTR ) by post after they have registered , which will also explain how to set up a Government Gateway account where you can log in and file your tax return . Once this is done , an activation code will be sent by post so you can finish setting up your account . This process can take up to four weeks so you really need to get your skates on . You will need your UTR , your national insurance number and details of your untaxed income for the 2023-24 year . You may need a P60 form , which shows how much you have earned and how much tax you have already paid on your salary . The main section of the self-assessment form is SA100 . This is where you declare @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from dividends and interest , and student loan repayments . There is also a section on child benefit . Those who are self-employed can fill out information about income and declare any expenses in the SA103 section . Anyone reporting income made from property must fill out SA105 , while those declaring capital gains -- the profit you make when you sell or dispose of assets -- need to fill out SA108 . In 2023-24 , the tax-free allowance for capital gains was ? 6,000 . " You 're probably best off setting aside at least half a day to make sure you are reporting everything correctly , " said Chris Etherington from RSM accountants . GETTY IMAGES If you miss the January 31 filing deadline , you will immediately be fined ? 100 . If you still have not filed after three months , you will be charged ? 10 a day for up to 90 days , bringing your total fine to a potential ? 1,000 . If your return is six months late , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any tax due is added on top , and the same penalty is added again at 12 months . January 31 is not just the deadline for filing a 2023-24 tax return , it is also the deadline for paying the bill . Those who do not pay their tax by this date start accruing interest daily on the amount they owe . The taxman charges the Bank of England 's base rate plus 2.5 percentage points , so 7.25 per cent at the moment . Under changes announced in the October budget , another 1.5 percentage points will be added to the late-payment rate from April 6 . If a tax bill is not paid within 30 days , a separate fine of 5 per cent of the tax due is also charged . If it is not paid within six months , you will pay a further 5 per cent of the outstanding tax , and again if you have n't paid after a year . Taxpayers who miss the filing and payment deadline may have a black mark against their file @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ return late , HMRC is more likely to launch an inquiry or investigation into your affairs , " said Nimesh Shah from the accountancy firm Blick Rothenberg . It is possible to appeal against late payment penalties if you have a reasonable excuse . This includes an unexpected hospital visit , an emergency such as a fire or flood , the death of a close relative , or unexpected postal delays . An appeal must be made within 30 days of the deadline . Some excuses , however , wo n't cut the mustard . According to HMRC , some of the oddest reasons given by taxpayers for filing late include : * " I had a run-in with a cow . " * " After seeing a volcanic eruption on the news , I could n't concentrate on anything else . " * " My bad back means I ca n't go upstairs . That 's where my tax return is. " * " My mother-in-law is a witch and put a curse on me. " |

Six defeats in just 11 games under the new manager has seen United fail to even enjoy the typical ' bounce ' after making a change in the dugout , with that record looking set to get even worse ahead of Sunday 's trip to face league leaders Liverpool on Merseyside . Without a win at Anfield since the days of Louis van Gaal back in 2016 , having failed to even score in any of their last five trips to face their rivals , the omens do not bode well for this struggling bunch . And yet , this is a new year , time to turn over a new leaf . What better way would there be to begin 2025 than by halting Arne Slot 's side and their seemingly unstoppable title procession . They 've already upset the odds away at the Etihad , so why ca n't Amorim 's men do it again on Sunday ? All they need is to look to the past , to conjure up a little Juan Mata-esque magic ... @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ January 2014 , the World Cup-winning Spaniard never quite hit the heights in a United shirt that he showcased at Stamford Bridge , having remarkably chalked up 86 goals and assists in just 135 games in west London , while winning the Champions League to boot . Far too often shifted out onto the right flank during his days at Old Trafford , a string of managers seemingly never played to the playmaker 's strengths , with few talents in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era having possessed that level of silk and class . That ability to create something out of nothing . It may not have been on show often enough , but Mata certainly did have his moments , none more so than on that glorious day in March 2015 , as Van Gaal 's side romped to a 2-1 victory over their fiercest rivals . Now , this was n't a Liverpool side to be feared , with then-boss Brendan Rodgers suffering from a post-Luis Suarez and post-title collapse hangover , but winning at Anfield - now a rarity these days - is never @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that victory was the diminutive Mata , with the one-time Valencia star putting the visitors ahead with a rare right-footed finish in the first half , having been played in beautifully by compatriot , Ander Herrera . With the hosts then reduced to ten men just seconds after the interval following substitute Steven Gerrard 's rash stamp on Herrera , United took full advantage , as Mata - teed up by Angel Di Maria 's delightful dink - produced one of the great modern moments in this fixture , having pulled off a stunning scissor kick from just inside the area . While a late Daniel Sturridge strike , as well as a missed penalty from Wayne Rooney , sparked a somewhat nervy climax , United - inspired by their number eight - held on for all three points . Of course , the current Liverpool crop provides a far tougher test , yet Amorim will be hoping for his key figures to step up , none more so than his own answer to Mata ... @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ far as United are concerned , with December , in particular , having been particularly brutal , amid a run of four straight defeats in all competitions . It is easy to forget , however , that it was just weeks ago that the Red Devils were riding high after adding to Manchester City 's doom and gloom in the derby , with a certain Amad Diallo steering the visitors to a thrilling late turnaround . Indeed , the young Ivorian has been a real shining light in an otherwise wretched campaign , with it no surprise that the club are set to hand the 22-year-old a richly deserved new deal in the near future . The former Atalanta star is still yet to play 50 games for the club , yet his impact this season - not just his Etihad heroics - point to a player who can be central to Amorim 's set-up for the foreseeable , with seven goals and assists coming his way in just 11 games under the new regime . The emerging cult hero could further bolster his growing status @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ difficult to see just who else will step up and take the game by the scruff of the neck , even with captain Bruno Fernandes returning from suspension . Equally , who better to try and emulate that man Mata than Amad , with the one-time Sunderland loanee also a left-footed , creative " wizard " of slight stature - as described by journalist James Copley . Likely to operate in that right channel where Mata did his damage at Anfield almost a decade ago , you would n't bet against the ? 28.8k-per-week maestro producing another glorious , memorable moment of his own on the grand stage . Football FanCast 's Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game . Having already spoiled Jurgen Klopp 's farewell tour last season following that last-gasp winner in the FA Cup quarter-final , the rising star could upset the new Liverpool boss in similar fashion this time around . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object between the verb 'get' and 'out of', and the interpretation does not involve movement/extraction or prevention. Instead, it describes an emotional response ('a real kick') from an action ('having a rest overnight'), which does not align with the construction's semantic requirements.

Health expert Tim Spector has shared seven scientifically-backed food tips that could " dramatically add years to your life and your health span . " The founder of Zoe Health , highlighted the foods that are " slowly killing us " on the Zoe podcast . He was joined by nutrition researcher Sarah Berry who stated : " There 's some great research showing that if you go from the kind of diet that many of us currently eat ... that if we change from that diet , even at the age of 40 , will add 10 extra years to our life . " He warned about the dangers of widespread ultra-processed foods , saying : " Just by making the right food choices , you can dramatically add years to your life and your health span . We 're surrounded by an environment that 's trying to do the opposite . " The doctor and geneticist added that around 60 per cent of Brits ' diets are ultra-processed food " designed to trick us and trick our brains into eating it " . Sarah @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ harm cardiovascular health , reduce insulin sensitivity and lead to weight gain , but they can also negatively affect mental health and energy levels . He stressed that much of our food is essentially " baby food " and " pap that we can consume so quickly that we do n't need to chew " , meaning the signals that tell our brains we are full are not sent . He suggested that the easiest way to spot ultra-processed food is to " look in your fridge . " , reports the Mirror . He continued : " The real food does n't come with a health claim or a label , interestingly . " Sarah Berry encouraged people to " put the crunch back in your lunch . " She explained : " Having food that has a hard texture , the original texture from which the food comes from , I think is a really key thing for people to think about in 2025 as well . " Even a minor reduction can have quick , positive effects . Prof Spector noted : " You @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ energy , and that will be the first thing you see once you cut down these foods . " In America , the average eating window spans 16 hours . However , increasing evidence suggests that eating within a smaller timeframe is healthier . Consuming food within a six-hour window can lower cholesterol and aid weight loss . But , the nutritionist acknowledges this is n't feasible for many . The professor agreed saying " even a 12-hour window " would be beneficial . Apart from lowering your overall calorie intake , he said this method also has excellent benefits for the microbiome . He explained : " Gut microbes get a real kick out of having a rest overnight . Andthey need time to recover and repair . So , when you 're not eating , a different team comes out , it 's like an offence-defence team , and a new team comes out and they 're the ones that will tidy up your gut lining . " They actually nibble away at the little bits of sugar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ improves the barrier keeping your microbes from your blood and your immune system is in tip-top shape . " Tim Spector says we need to make changes Dieters will often see a change in the first instance , but he warned " most people " will lose weight initially when they go on a calorie-restricted diet . Prof Spector said the body has ways of altering metabolism , so we burn less energy , which means we compensate . He said : " So you need to keep reducing even more of your intake to stay the same , but also it ramps up our appetite signals in the brain so that it gets increasingly difficult to keep losing weight . " This means ultimately , in many cases , people will return to their original weight as they can not keep up with their new diet . This does n't just apply to alcohol . Drinks account for 18 per cent of Americans calorie intake - so it 's something to exercise control in if possible . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have all been shown to have positive impacts on the gut microbiome . The professor said : " You can tell if someone 's a coffee drinker or not just from their gut microbes . " And there 's this one microbe that is so fussy it only eats coffee , and it 's called Lawsonibacter . So you do n't drink coffee , but it 's waiting there in tiny amounts just for you to have that one cup of coffee , then it 's gon na go and explode . It 's incredibly exciting , and this is the first time anyone 's really linked a single microbe to a single food type . " He added that kombucha , if its lower in sugar , and kefir are excellent additions to your diet . Adding that " milk should be avoided " unless in small amounts , He warned oat milk is not the healthy alternative we think it is . He said : " All the evidence suggests it 's not a healthy swap " and this is " especially if you 're @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out your five-a-day rule and opt for eating 30 plants if you can , as this encourages the most diverse gut microbiome possible . This includes all plants , nuts , herbs , legumes , and vegetables the professor recommended . He added that " small amounts of non-processed meat are shown to have no negative effects . There 's a middle ground for people who want to be healthier in 2025 - you can just reduce the amount you 're having . " He said : " I think the lesson here is that if you can eat a small amount of meat and lots of plants , you 're going to get the best possible picture in terms of not only a good diversity of microbes across the board , but you 'll get a good ratio of the good guys to the bad guys . " He said : " Currently , there 's huge marketing saying that we 're deficient in protein and that we ca n't be healthy without extra protein snack bars , protein added to nearly all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ protein crisis . Nothing could be further from the truth . " Nutritionist Sarah Berry said many people are " undoing " the healthy meals we 're having with " poor quality snacks . " She said : " We are a nation of snackers in the UK . " But it 's not if you 're snacking its how you 're snacking . Stick to nuts , fruits and plant based snacks . She added : " Now , if you 're not a snacker , I would n't suggest you go and start snacking . But if you are a snacker , and that 's how you like to eat , our research shows that the snacking itself is n't the problem , it 's what you 're snacking on . " She said people should avoid snacking after 8 or 9pm . She said anyone considering a snack needs to ask themselves : " Are you hungry or is it the habit of going to the cupboard because you have a minute between meetings ?

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'out of' in a different context, where 'no way out of considering' does not involve a causer and causee relationship or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of considering' is part of a larger noun phrase 'no way out of considering the relevance...', which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The idea of a faithful individual striving to live in right relationship with the divine , despite their shortcomings , dominates Jordan Peterson 's latest work . The title of the book refers to Jacob wrestling with an angel and his subsequent naming by God as Israel , or " one who struggles with God " . Peterson defines the divine loosely : as a reality " truly superordinate to any earthly or secular ruler or even to an explicit principle or law " . His exploration of seven major narratives of the Old Testament is intended to explain to a modern reader how these " biblical stories illuminate the eternal path forward " . Peterson walks his reader through the narratives , offering close textual analysis , excerpts from past exegesis and his own reflections . He supports his interpretation with comparison to sources ranging from Mesopotamian and Egyptian mythology to the Harry Potter stories . Though a demanding read for a non-academic like myself , the book is deeply rewarding because it reanimates Old @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a modern mind . Peterson begins with Creation : Adam and Eve , and a stark warning about the danger that certain behaviour -- symbolised by eating from the tree of knowledge -- poses to the human psyche . He argues for the existence of " eternal values " that comprise the " essence of humanity " , which must be respected . Eating from the tree implies disregard for these values . We can not , Peterson insists , define human values for ourselves . If we presume -- as Nietzsche suggested some might -- to define good and evil , then we degenerate as individuals and as a society . Peterson underlines the consequences for Adam and Eve and for any reader who has believed too much in their own power . Direct challenge like this runs through the book , requiring more from the reader than simple intellectual effort . Peterson goes on to consider the consequences of Adam and Eve 's transgression in modern psychological terms ; the reader is permitted no way out of considering the relevance of The Fall to their own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the pattern of Abel 's correct labour and sacrifice as opposed to Cain 's insufficient offering and subsequent resentment of God . Peterson asks us to understand Cain 's murder of his brother as the destruction of " his own ideal , because it is Abel that Cain most desires to be " . He follows it with a comparison with Dostoevsky 's Raskolnikov , which illuminates the dire consequences of Cain 's bloodthirsty response to his own inadequacy . Again , Peterson 's ability to bring biblical characters to life through comparison forces the reader to relate to them directly -- which is the strength of this book . Next Peterson turns to Noah : his role as one good man whose correct relationship to the divine protects creation as a whole . The importance of a few remaining faithful to the divine is a theme he returns to many times . If " a few or even one still speak freely " , society , he concludes " can be protected from utter cataclysm " . Peterson views the danger of not speaking as urgent : because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could cause real-life problems . The Tower of Babel comes after this , which Peterson views ( along with the Flood ) as a direct consequence of Cain 's crimes . This narrative , he says , is another illustration of the danger of pride -- specifically prideful intellect . He demonstrates how the trope of a prideful and resentful intellect creating destructive technology resonates throughout modern storytelling , from Faust and Frankenstein to RoboCop and The Terminator . He continues with the story of Abram and Sarai 's acceptance of God 's call and subsequent transformation . He sees , in Abram 's initial inaction followed by his failure to protect his wife from Pharaoh 's advances , a realistic depiction of a human being learning to do better . Once they have finally become Abraham and Sarah , God commands Abraham to kill his own son . Peterson compares the couple 's compliance with God 's call to sacrifice their longed-for son to the sacrifice of Christ . Peterson turns to psychoanalysis for a modern analogue : Melanie Klein 's idea of the " good @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mother who does not allow her child to risk anything . The good mother , he argues , is the one who can sacrifice their child , or in Peterson 's words , " offer him or her up to the spirit that calls to the adventure of life " . You may not share Peterson 's interpretation of Klein . But it 's a compelling thought , one which seeks valuable meaning in a horrifying biblical account . Two long chapters follow on the life of Moses , where Peterson 's detailed textual analysis uncovers layers of significance . A chapter on Jonah functions as a call to the reader to abide , as Jonah does after initial failure , by the call of conscience . The book ends by urgently emphasising the importance of individuals willing to defend the wisdom of the past against modern ideologies -- which tend to replace the divine with a different guiding principle . " With what ? " Peterson asks . " There 's the rub . " Recently tried alternatives , he suggests , including sex , power and nihilism @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and Peterson 's commentary , were uncomfortable for me . As a woman compelled by economic realities to earn money as well as be a mother , I resisted the idea that Eve after The Fall is eternally subordinate to Adam . I do n't see myself as dependent on , let alone less than , a man . But Peterson clarifies : the biological realities of motherhood make them dependent on others , especially the father of their children . That much is true -- at least when our children are young . But I 'm still not convinced that " women , worldwide , look for men of a higher social status than they themselves possess " . The brutal aspects of some narratives were difficult to read in the spirit of curiosity : when Lot offers his young daughters to the mob ; when Moses massacres Midianite women and boys . But there 's integrity in how Peterson engages with these moments . The reader is required to consider narratives set in the brutal reality of the Bronze Age . He does n't censor the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ feel impossible to countenance . Peterson employs psychology and neuroscience in his analysis . He suggests the two hemispheres of the brain correspond to the eternal opposing principles of order and chaos ; that chimpanzee leaders , like their human equivalents , are longer-lived and more successful if they " rely on strategies of mutually beneficial reciprocation " . I ca n't think of another author able to use science as a tool of exegesis . The effect is both fascinating and reassuring to a 21st-century reader like me , used to evidence . Peterson has promised a sequel , on the New Testament . Perhaps the work to follow will pose an even greater challenge to a modern reader : the New Testament offers few easy solutions to life 's struggles . But do n't wait for the sequel . We Who Wrestle with God gave me a sense of the order and significant detail within each of the narratives Peterson interprets . It showed me how I might search in the stories for " a universal thread of moral gold " . Unschooled in my father @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me to re-encounter complex and difficult stories preserved for millennia by my ancestors -- and to learn from them , too .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('I tried to talk myself out of going'). It involves a reflexive NP object ('myself') coreferential with the subject, which is an atypical but acceptable type of NP object in the transitive out of -ing construction. The interpretation is prevention ('I tried to prevent myself from going'), aligning with the construction's semantic requirements. The verb 'talk' fits into the category of verbs that appear in the V1 slot, specifically under 'By means of enticing, flattering, or verbal persuasion'. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction with 'I' as the NP subject, 'tried to talk' as V1, 'myself' as the NP object (a reflexive pronoun coreferential with the subject), and 'out of going' as VP2[-ing]. It also allows for a prevention interpretation, where the speaker is preventing themselves from going due to certain conditions. This aligns with the atypical types of NP object as described in the sixth property.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'out of operating' is followed by a noun phrase ('the very same right-wing ratchet'), not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the sentence does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

I would like to be emailed about offers , event and updates from Evening Standard . Read our privacy notice . It would take a heart of stone not to laugh at Nigel Farage 's new Elon Musk problem . The Reform leader has made his career out of operating the very same right-wing ratchet that the Tesla boss is now cranking to drag Farage into difficult territory . In case you missed it , the weekend saw Musk turn on his fellow Donald Trump admirer , declaring that Farage " does n't have what it takes " and that Reform needs a new leader . This came hours after Farage had been on the BBC talking up his connections in Trumpworld and praising Musk as a " hero " . The origin of this spat appears to be the case of " Tommy Robinson " , the right-wing agitator Stephen Yaxley-Lennon . Robinson is probably Britain 's most prominent advocate of the " great replacement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ engaged in a systematic attempt to replace the " indigenous " white populations of Europe and North America with non-white and non-Christian people . To most people , that makes Robinson a bigot and a criminal . Not Musk . The world 's richest man has described Robinson as a " political prisoner " and demanded his release . That continues Musk 's public row with Keir Starmer , but it also resurrects a problem Farage has faced for decades : persuading voters that he and his party are not racist thugs . Farage , it should be stated clearly , has consistently denied racism and denounced far-right groups such as the British National Party and the National Front . He has done so while repeatedly raising concerns and fears about immigration policy , the integration of immigrants and the conduct of some immigrants in the UK . Doing this while also distancing himself and his party ( UKIP ; the Brexit Party ; Reform ) from the far-right has been the foundation of Farage 's political successes over the last two decades . By raising " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of people who are n't white -- while denying racism and denouncing racists -- Farage has shifted political debate towards his preferred positions on immigration , borders and social cohesion . Farage , then , is in a very serious fight for control of his party Crucially , he has won votes from people who sympathise with his views but who would not consider themselves racist . Indeed , perceptions of Reform as racist-adjacent are one of the biggest obstacles to the party 's further electoral advances , and help to explain why Farage pointedly shuns people such as Robinson . Farage is a ratchet man . A ratchet is a mechanism that only turns in one direction . In politics , ratchets work because it 's always possible to take a harder line on an issue than your opponent , then denounce anyone who retreats from that line . As Musk knows better than most , social media encourages ratchet politics by amplifying the voices of those who welcome that harder line . Farage 's success in raising EU immigration in the 2000s allowed him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their position on the EU towards exit . Today 's Tories often take positions that are considerably further to the Right than most voters because of Farage 's ratchet . Ratchets can be found on both sides of politics . The US Democrats have suffered from a " progressive ratchet " where their values and policies have been dragged further and further away from the mainstream by activists pushing positions such as Defund the Police , open borders and " transwomen are women " . Hence the many mainstream US voters who decided that -- despite his crimes -- Donald Trump was a better bet . Now Musk is turning the ratchet on Farage , seeking to pull Reform into alignment with the criminal Tommy Robinson . Farage is resisting , so far , insisting that he will never " sell out my principles " by embracing Robinson . Can Farage enforce that position on all his colleagues , though ? Ratchet politics are most appealing to politicians seeking promotion : you appeal to activists , some voters and donors by taking a harder line than your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other Reform politician is currently privately wondering if they can secure Musk 's political and financial backing -- to the tune of $100m -- by outflanking Farage and backing Robinson ( there may even be some Tories thinking similar things , alarmingly ) . Farage , then , is in a very serious fight for control of his party . Do n't bet against him : he 's won every internal power-struggle he 's ever fought . And even if you dislike the man and his politics , you might still wish him luck in holding the line against Musk . A Reform Party that moved to support Tommy Robinson would crank the right-wing ratchet of British politics towards extremism and division . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('I') + V1 ('question') + NP object ('myself') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('anything resembling equilibrium'). It also involves a reflexive NP object ('myself') coreferential with the subject, which is an atypical but acceptable type of NP object in this construction. The interpretation can be seen as a movement or extraction interpretation, where the subject causes themselves to move out of a state resembling equilibrium by questioning.

There is a silence . " So ... it is a sex thing ? " I am learning that combining the verb stimulate with any word beginning with a V provokes certain assumptions in the listener . Yet arousing the vagus nerve is where it 's at , both in wellness and fashion terms -- it 's the new brat summer as far as self-care is concerned . Social media stalwarts are #obsessed , with more than 185 million TikTok views for #vagusnerve and about 166,000 posts on Instagram . Advice on methods for " toning " or " resetting " said nerve include humming , deep breathing , meditation , ice baths , ear massage , sundry eye movements and lying on one 's back clutching ice packs to the chest . Meanwhile , fans are invited to purchase vagus nerve-exciting massage oil , pillow mists and even vibrating jewellery . Forget cordyceps consumption , sound bath immersion or bovine colostrum quaffing , the hottest middle-class dinner party brag of 2025 will be vagus , baby . And the phrase " getting on your nerves " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . So what is the vagus nerve and why should we seek to stimulate it ? I direct this question at Povilas Sabaliauskas , 36 , a biomedical engineer and the London-based Lithuanian co-founder and CEO of Pulsetto , a toning device that appears most convenient in terms of simplicity and portability . Rival tech can be sported in the ear , attached to the wrist or clutched to the chest in the manner of a cherished tamagotchi . However , I harbour a vague memory that the neck is where it 's at V nerve-wise . Right , Mr Sabaliauskas ? " Correct , " he confirms . " The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve in the body , extending from the brainstem through the neck , chest and abdomen , and connecting to various organs including the heart , lungs and digestive tract . The neck is one of the optimal locations for its stimulation because the nerve runs close to the skin here . " Longevity cultists such as the American venture capitalist Bryan Johnson and the fitness guru Ben Greenfield @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to a tree , the branches of which reach out to almost every organ system in the body . Sabaliauskas prefers to call it " a highway of information " and a critical part of the parasympathetic nervous system . " Vagus nerve stimulation ( VNS ) delivers gentle electrical impulses to this nerve , activating your parasympathetic nervous system -- your body 's natural calm mode . This helps shift you from a ' fight or flight ' to ' rest and digest ' state , acting as your body 's built-in reset button for balance and relaxation . " It is at this point that the ghost of my late father , a world leader in epilepsy , hovers near , lamenting : " If only you 'd paid attention to your dear old dad . " " Wait ! " I cry . " Did this technology originate with seizure treatment ? " " It did indeed , " confirms Sabaliauskas , whose background is in the implantable VNS industry . VNS was introduced in the late 1980s as a treatment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than 20,000 research papers exploring its applications across legions of conditions . What began as a state-of-the-art clinical intervention , now available on the NHS , has evolved into a wellness therapy said to improve heart rate variability , reduce inflammation and manage stress . Evidence suggests that VNS can help those who suffer from diabetes , inflammatory autoimmune conditions such as Crohn 's disease and rheumatoid arthritis , post-traumatic stress disorder and treatment-resistant depression .

Still , I want in , if only for pure fashionability . It 's a cinch to set up and get stimulating , the dog in her collar , me in mine . The Pulsetto is n't big on instructions , which suits me fine as I do n't read them . I also dispense with its breathing exercises , respiration being for wimps . I go for the burnout option , because in the pre-Yule period in which stimming becomes my solace , this is where I 'm at : germ-ridden , slogging until the small hours , with sheer exhaustion alone keeping me on the right side of lunacy . I am instructed to do a six-minute session at intensity 5 , and that -- if still overwhelmed after 45 minutes -- I can do this again , multiple times a day . Exciting this area is akin to having someone drum their fingers speedily over one 's throat , not entirely flattering to the middle-aged neck . Still , within a couple of days I 'm revving @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ intensity up to 9 -- and enjoying the results . Not only does the pink light match my blusher , I find myself overworked but not in a fretful way ; any stress seems to hover distantly , like a pain that 's been dulled by morphine . A week in and a friend suggests I engage in VNS while deploying a Rampant Rabbit for ultimate stimulation . I consider asking Pulsetto 's query service whether this would blow my mind ( and/or other organs ) . Instead I inquire whether the conductive gel I have dispensed with is necessary . I 'm told it is . " Without it you may not achieve the desired effects . " Have I been imagining my chillaxed demeanour ? I press on , three times a day when I remember ( my mobile reminding me when I do n't ) . The manufacturers claim that Pulsetto reduces stress by 64.5 per cent within ten days . However , I seem to become more unhinged -- actively anxious , which I usually lack the energy for . My sleep @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I have n't done for a decade ) . To be fair , it 's five days before Christmas , I 'm still working up a storm and have rabid PMT . I also realise I 've been scrimping on the gel again , applying it to only one side of my neck when pulses are received on both . Is there a programme for rule resistance ? A month on , am I benefiting ? Honestly , I have no idea . If my father 's ghost could stage a comeback and give its verdict , I 'd be grateful . But I imagine it would intone , " A placebo effect is still an effect , " mention something about said solutions being side-effect free , then vanish . Instead , I ask Pulsetto 's co-creator where VNS-ing might lead . " The potential is extraordinary , " Sabaliauskas says . " Imagine devices that adapt to your unique needs -- helping you stay calm under stress , sharpen focus during demanding tasks or speeding up recovery after exercise . As bioelectric medicine evolves , we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some cases replace , pharmaceuticals , with fewer side-effects and more targeted benefits .

I keep trying , I keep failing . Most recently , on a bench in Alexandra Palace , London . I put a Spotify ten-minute stressbuster through my headphones , closed my eyes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to focus on my weird breathing , but instead I focused on the fact that I was supposed to be focused on my breathing . Then I focused on how rubbish I was at focusing on my breathing and also on a dog that was repetitively barking . If it was n't for the dog , I decided , this would be a great meditation . I became angry with the dog . I was an angry man sitting on a bench with his eyes closed , breathing weirdly . This is typical of my experiences with meditation : I start feeling stressed and come away feeling stressed and like a loser who ca n't meditate . I 'm much better at reading about the benefits of meditation ; here I 'm really talented . I drool over the descriptions of alert but calm states of consciousness . I 'm thrilled by the prospect of managing my inner babble and taking these islands of calm into the rest of my day . It 's not easy being me . I 'm a very privileged @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how I tried to shake hands with the fist bump offered to me by a personal trainer . I can also worry about the changing global power balance and American isolationism . I 'm both a macro and a micro-fretter . All the time , weighed down by how embarrassingly lucky I am in every aspect of my life . It seems unlikely that I 'm the only one in this awkward predicament . A booming market in tech-assisted stress management has emerged . What began with apps offering guided meditations has evolved into gadgets that engage directly with your body . The Whoop recovery monitor , the Moonbird breathing coach , nestle next to Therabody SmartGoggles , which massage your temples , and the NeuroVizr light-therapy headset . I 've decided to try the Muse 2 headband . To fans of fantasy and science fiction , the Muse 2 , strapped across the forehead , marks me out as a mind-controlled slave warrior on a dystopian future planet . You could n't really use it in public . The Muse 2 headband In reality it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ using electroencephalography ( EEG ) technology -- small sensors on your skin pick up electrical signals from the brain . Once it 's established your baseline signals by measuring your brain 's outputs in a normal resting state , it uses sound to give you feedback on your mind as you follow the instructions fed to you via headphones . The headband works with an app loaded with meditations and exercises . I followed the breathwork instructions on an intro session , and when my mind became hectic and distracted , the sound of rain grew louder , and when I managed to find the much-longed-for state of calm , birds tweeted . There 's a huge choice of meditations on the app . For example , I could opt to elevate my performance , find happiness , learn how to sleep or ( the easy winner ) " rise above stress " . The Muse 2 answers the huge , inhibiting question that haunts every meditation I 've ever tried : " Am I doing it right ? " Usually I question myself out of anything resembling equilibrium @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ progress . Sessions can be less than five minutes or as long as half an hour and are evaluated and stored in the app . This enables you to objectively see yourself becoming more and more adept . I have no way of knowing how accurately the band is tracking my brain , but it feels spot on -- the drifting mind and those moments of quiet match the audio feedback . I 'm finding that now I know how the relaxed states feel I can manifest them more easily . My mind knows the desired states and seems to be better at settling itself into them now that I 'm no longer hunting in the dark . I 'm so hopeful the Muse 2 could be my breakthrough I may even buy a concealing hat and strap it on in a public place . If you see a man sitting very still on a bench in Ally Pally wearing a stetson , please leave him alone . |

It is a substantial , three storey house , built about 1785 , Grade II listed , and covered in signs which say " danger , keep out " . Plus there 's graffiti . But this must be a much sought after location .

The arch that leads to Friary LodgeAs the archway was relocated , skeletons were found around it -- one of a woman with a young child 's skull resting on her shoulder -- suggesting that this was the burial ground for the Franciscan friary that was founded on the corner in 1258 . The friary 's founder was Ralph Fitz Randall , lord of Middleham , whose heart was buried in the friary church in 1270 . He is still commemorated in the name of the Wetherspoons pub opposite . The friary was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1538 , and Richmondians gleefully made off with its stonework , leaving only the tower and a few bits of medieval walls standing .

In 1971 , all three schools in Richmond merged onto the modern site on the approach to the town , and the friary site was owned by North Yorkshire County Council until it was taken on by the NHS which had ambitions to build a hospital . Indeed , Friary Lodge 's last use was in the late 1990s when the doctors from the Queens Road Surgery used it as a temporary practice until their accommodation in the new , neighbouring community hospital was ready . The hospital opened in 1999 , and the final piece of the project was a ? 364,000 grant from the Lottery to restore the friary walls and Friary Lodge " to their original condition " . Then there was much debate about Friary Lodge 's future . There was talk of it becoming a psychiatric unit attached to the hospital , but when it was deemed surplus to NHS requirements , in 2006 planning permission was granted to convert it into a residential use with up to five apartments .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes someone leaving a place (training) after an argument, which does not involve causing or preventing an action through specific means as required by the construction. The phrase 'stormed out of training' does not involve a VP2[-ing] predicate or the necessary semantic roles (causer and causee).

Nothing is imminent or settled , but both sides are motivated to split before the 2025 season , sources say . The transfer window is open for most of the world , which could see a return to Europe for Insigne or head to the Middle East this month . Toronto could choose to use a contract buyout if no move materializes . Insigne 's contract runs through the summer of 2026 . Insigne is the second-highest paid player in MLS , behind only Lionel Messi . His $15.4 million yearly salary was more than the total wage bill of seven other MLS clubs . Some MLS clubs will report for preseason training within the next week . The rest within two weeks . Insigne 's North American sojourn has not gone to plan .

For as disappointing as the on-field output has been , the negative headlines off the field have followed .

Defending in EA Sports 25 is one of the most challenging aspects of the game . However , we have outlined seven tips to make you more comfortable in the defensive third . Only using a slide tackle as a last resort and opting for reliable player switching is crucial . Defending in EA Sports FC 25 is one of the most challenging aspects of the game . Patience , consistency and confidence are all required if you seriously want to triumph in the hardest mode in Ultimate Team -- Champions . It 's often the main difference between professional players , those who make a living out of playing the game , and gamers who use it as a hobby , going through pain and frustration each weekend . While attacking is understandably crucial , if you ca n't defend , you have no chance of winning . The best gamers and finest footballers in the world will take advantage , cutting through your team as if it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and anger will only grow . However , it does n't need to be like that , as our seven tips to defend better in EA Sports FC 25 will help you become a better player . We have outlined nothing revolutionary , simply a few neat tricks that can be learnt quickly . You will need patience to master them , but -- once you do -- you will be able to beat anyone around the globe . Tips to Defend Better in EAFC 25 List Tip 1 . Minimise the Use of the Tackle Button 2 . Only Slide Tackle as the Last Option 3 . Second Man Press Consistently 4 . Become Used to Player Switching 5 . Cover Every Passing Lane Possible 6 . Use L2/LT Defending 7 . Use ' Meta ' Players To begin , in most situations , the ' jockey button ' is enough to earn the ball back from your opponent . It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as -- even if you keep your distance from the attacker -- your defenders will position themselves better towards the attacker . The ' jockey button ' is the L2 button on PlayStation and LB on Xbox . While it is relatively simple to use , you will need to consistently practice with it . You should n't press all the time , and -- when you do -- it needs to be timed correctly . However , due to its effectiveness , it means you can minimise the use of the ' tackle button ' . As we have highlighted , your defender can snatch the ball from your opponent easily whilst jockeying , so tackling should be seen as a secondary option . When you tackle , you are more likely to either foul the opponent or mistime it , thus leaving you vulnerable in behind . Naturally , tactical fouls are sometimes necessary , but being as safe as possible is key . Going further with this idea , you should only slide tackle as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ EAFC 25 . Jockeying should be the priority , followed by a simple stand tackle and then a slide tackle . While it can work , it 's often too risky and can lead to you chasing shadows in your own defensive third . You can slide tackle on EAFC 25 by pressing square on PlayStation or X on Xbox . The slide tackle is most effective when your opponent is counter-attacking and they do n't have full control of the ball . When doing so , you have to be careful , as you are more likely to pick up a red or yellow card . There 's no denying it can work well , but -- due to the risk of suspension -- we recommend only using it as a last resort . When doing this , you put extra pressure on the opposition team . You can do it by using the R1 button on PlayStation and RT on Xbox . When you press either button , a green arrow will appear above the player , which will automatically apply extra pressure to the player @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as it can force your opponent into mistakes , but you should n't use it all the time . It forces your players out of position and makes them fatigued . There 's a time and a place for everything . Some of the best defenders in the world in EAFC 25 can shine without your input . They know how to defend , where to be positioned and when to press , but -- sometimes -- manual input is required . To do this , you need to know how to switch players efficiently to stop your opponent . People still remarkably underestimate the importance of player switching . You have three options to switch players in EAFC 25 . The most common choice comes via the L1 or LT button , depending on your console . However , in the settings , you can choose whether to switch to the player closest to the ball or another player close by . Understandably , it is not always going to make the right decision , so we suggest you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ provides more control and freedom . While it can take longer to master , it means you do n't make unnecessary switches , because you decide where and when you want to switch . When coming up against the best attackers in the game , every second counts during tight encounters ; this might be the difference between success and failure . Including the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Alexia Putellas , we have outlined the nine most overrated Ultimate Team cards in EA Sports FC 25 . Posts When you watch football in person , there 's always one thing that can be spotted when a team is performing poorly -- their insecurity in the middle of the park . The best teams in the world can glide through the area , rarely shut down as teams do n't have the numbers -- or decision-making -- to do so . The situation is no different in EAFC 25 , so it is crucial you cover every passing lane possible . In counter-attacking situations , using the space @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by shielding passing directions and running lines of players . When through-balls in EAFC 25 are noticeably dangerous , you need to always be one step ahead of the attacker . If you think they are going to try one behind your defence , cut it out by blocking the area they intend to use . It 's challenging and sometimes requires thinking outside the box , but -- once mastered -- it can be incredibly effective . The world is your oyster in situations like this . Another key defensive tip is to make sure you use L2/LT defending . If you do n't use it , you wo n't be able to get a grip in the duels and you 'll let your opponents pass too often . It is a very simple thing to change , as you can defend how you typically do whilst holding the left trigger down . It allows your defender to move in a smaller radius , turning quickly and winning duels consistently . Adding to this , sprinting is not disabled when pressing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the same time , you move faster and still only have your eyes on the player with the ball . Finally , you could be the greatest gamer in the world at defending , but -- if you do n't have effective players in the defensive third -- it 's likely you wo n't succeed . The most important thing to consider is the word ' meta ' , which connotes that a player meets -- or overperforms -- expectations . In EAFC 25 , pace is key . Slow players simply ca n't keep up with the intensity of matches , especially if the opposition opts to play countless through-balls in behind . Centre-backs need to have at least ' 80 pace ' , if not more , to be able to perform , whilst your full-backs should be even quicker , as they have to bomb up and down the flanks . With countless special cards being added to the game each week , you are spoilt for choice when it comes to picking defenders . Not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , defensively aware and composed -- three of the most important characteristics . If you need inspiration , the likes of Tottenham 's Micky van de Ven , AC Milan 's Theo Hernandez and Barcelona 's Jules Kounde will shine . All of them can be considered some of the most meta defenders in the game , even if Van de Ven is just 82-rated . A player 's base rating never tells the full story . |

Losing nine and drawing five out of their 20 league games this campaign , Julen Lopetegui has failed to elevate a side that made seemingly smart summer additions including Max Kilman , Cryscencio Summerville , Niclas Fullkrug , Luis Guillherme , Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Guido Rodriguez on permanent deals . The loan signings of Jean-Clair Todibo and Carlos Soler also bolstered a Hammers side that seemed to have done the best transfer business out of any English team in the summer .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It mentions 'efficiencies borne out of using AI', where 'borne out of' is not part of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'using AI' is not a VP2[-ing] predicate that the NP object is being caused to participate in or prevented from. Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the sentence does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

" Stop hiring humans -- the era of AI employees is here . " So read one of several billboards dotted around San Francisco in December . The ad campaign by tech firm Artisan , which generated anger and comparisons to the dystopian TV show Black Mirror , was a stunt . " We did n't expect people to get so mad , " the 23-year-old chief executive sheepishly admitted . " We do n't actually want people to stop hiring humans . " But make no mistake -- artificial intelligence is coming for your job , whether you like it or not . A survey by HR Technologies UK found 80pc of employers were likely to use artificial intelligence to hire people . Buy now , pay later firm Klarna admitted this year to cutting a quarter of its 5,000 employees , thanks to efficiencies borne out of using AI . ( The company said this would allow it to increase pay for its remaining staff ) . Last year , the International Monetary Fund said it believed AI would impact nearly 40pc of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that AI could displace up to 275,000 private sector jobs a year in Britain alone -- a number that could ramp up to between one and three million by 2050 . Unions are worried : in the US , members of SAG-AFTRA , which represents some 160,000 voice actors , voted to strike over the use of generative AI in video games . In the near future , customer service phone lines could be answered by a robot , while graphic designers , computer programmers , writers and teachers may well find their roles consumed , at least in part , by software . Some companies have already married AI with hologram technology , replacing in-person customer service with digital avatars . In 2023 , Elon Musk told former prime minister Rishi Sunak that artificial intelligence could one day eradicate the need for jobs altogether . The owner of X , formerly Twitter , said AI would be " the most disruptive force in the industry for jobs " , claiming that " there will come a point where no job is needed -- you can have a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Little seems to have changed under the Labour Government . " Are we leaning in and seeing this as an opportunity , as I do ? Or are we leaning out , saying ' this is rather scary , we better regulate it , ' which I think will be the wrong approach , " said Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer at the UK 's International Investment Summit in October . The Government has nonetheless proposed measures " to place requirements on those working to develop the most powerful AI models , " but critics fear the technology is evolving too fast for our lawmakers to ever reign in . So how do you safeguard your career in a post-AI world ? Using research from the OECD and Goldman Sachs , Adzuna identified job roles where pay had been resilient to the advent of AI -- and ranked them by how high their advertised salaries were in November 2024 . Specialist medical professionals ranked among the highest-paid roles that are best insulated from the march of technology @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ average salary for surgeons was ? 80,031 a year in November , compared to ? 60,223 last year -- an increase of 32.9pc . Physicists , dentists , psychologists , and dermatologists also ranked highly , with advertised salaries ranging from ? 50,000 to ? 90,000 . However , the average pay for some roles has dipped year-on-year . Pay across listed vacancies for marriage counsellors has dropped by 15.3pc , from ? 67,729 to ? 57,339 , Adzuna said . Meanwhile , pay for paramedics dipped by 35.2pc -- from ? 62,880 to ? 40,575 . By contrast , pay for compliance officers rose by a quarter to ? 51,008 a year . Adzuna listed 130 vacancies for museum curator positions in December -- and average pay had risen by 15.1pc year-on-year -- from ? 37,394 to ? 43,352 . Other healthcare roles , including nurses and midwives , are deemed safe from AI , albeit with lower salaries , as are hairdressers and yoga teachers and lifeguards . Jobs requiring subjective reasoning , including judges and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Eloise Allexia , 32 , is a psychotherapist based in London . She believes that , for now , she has little to worry about . And Adzuna 's data suggests she is right , ranking it highly on its list of jobs protected from AI . " Therapy is often centred around human connection . To establish a successful therapeutic relationship , therapists are generally expected to experience and demonstrate compassion , empathy , and an acknowledgement of the complexities of being human , " she said . " When we come into therapy to discuss something personal , challenging or complicated , we often look to the therapist to show an understanding of what it means to be human and provide a space in which thoughts can be shared without immediate analysis , and without purely offering solution-based ideas . " Another boundary between AI and Ms Allexia 's industry is that AI models are n't well-versed in more complex ethical ideas -- although there are AI-powered chatbots that can be used in the place of therapists . " AI in its current @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ morality that humans are considered to have , so boundaries or professional conduct rules could be crossed without an instinctive sense of what might be right or wrong , " she said . Even as companies embracing AI replace swathes of their workforce , the presence of the software is expected to generate jobs specifically geared around monitoring its use . There were hundreds of vacancies for prompt engineers , AI content writers , and machine learning engineers in November on Adzuna . In the US , the AI job market is booming : a study by marketing publication Biz Report found that AI-related jobs offered 77pc higher salaries than other occupations , while the pay gap between tech jobs and other occupations had widened by 36pc due to AI . At the tail end of 2023 , almost a third of all tech jobs were AI-related , the study found . Meanwhile , LinkedIn said the number of ' head of AI ' roles advertised on the site had shot up by 26pc in the year to November @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ manager , warned jobseekers not to hitch their wagon to the emerging technology . " Two decades ago , the foundations were laid for jobs built on the internet , and today , we see those roles towering above the rest , " she said . " Now , the next phase is underway -- jobs shaped by AI . It wo n't be long before the landscape will shift again from AI to another emerging area , the world of work will change , and new jobs will be created . " Ms Chamberlin said that " navigating a post-AI world means acknowledging that the labour market will continue to evolve rapidly , often in unpredictable ways , " but urged jobseekers to " anticipate the shifts , and look to reskill and upskill themselves " . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'out of' in a different context, referring to a physical location (Downing Street) rather than a VP[-ing] predicate. There is no causer-causee relationship, and it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Rather than face up to the racial and religious dimension of the rape gangs scandal , Starmer continues to tell himself comfortable myths about the success of our multicultural society , says James Price Over the last week , the rest of the world has been introduced to one of Britain 's greatest -- and ongoing -- shames . Young girls have been systematically targeted and raped by predominantly Pakistani Muslim gangs of men in as many as 50 towns and cities up and down the country . If parents tried to intervene , police often threatened them with arrest for being racist , and police and other local authorities suppressed the details in the name of ' community cohesion ' and downplaying racial tensions . Having read some of the details , I do not have the stomach to repeat them here . Suffice to say it is too awful to imagine what has been done to huge numbers of young British girls . And the cover-up , as is becoming ever more apparent , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ face up to the racial and religious dimension to these crimes . White girls were called " white trash " and some of those gang members who were actually tried in court declared proudly that it did n't matter what happened to white girls . Hindu girls and others were also targeted , but these gangs specifically and explicitly left young Muslim girls alone . That is not to say that young Muslim girls are immune from problems -- but the whole shocking scandal explodes some of the myths we have tried to tell ourselves about the apparent success of our multicultural society . What 's required is nothing short of a cri de coeur from the government ; it is moments like these that define premierships and make or break leaders . Yet instead of rising to the occasion , Prime Minister Keir Starmer chose to attack X owner Elon Musk and opposition politicians for raising awareness , accusing them of " amplifying the far right " . Beyond being so completely tone deaf that it has made my ears ring @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the mess we are as a country . Rather than explicitly acknowledging the ethnic elements at play in this scandal , too many have found it easier to play politics . This is the default response to anything -- from rape gangs to military action overseas to the social care crisis -- from a political class that is incapable of moral seriousness or going against the prevailing consensus . I was guilty of this failure in government . I tried to prevent mandatory face masks for children in schools over the omicron Covid variant . But when I brought up conservative concepts like individual freedom or a limited government response , I was shouted down by ' grown ups in the room ' who said that masks were a zero-harm intervention and only nutters could be against them . I relented . But the report I managed to get the DfE to produce afterwards confirmed that masks did indeed have a damaging effect on children and their learning . The structural reasons for this weakness are those expounded best by Dominic Cummings : " the government is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a blob that does n't optimise for good national outcomes so much as the whims of much of the media and chattering classes . Starmer and his team think they , as good left-wingers , should be afforded a greater benefit of the doubt than the evil right wingers This is why things are already going so badly for the government : Labour 's overriding instinct is that the state is the master and the people the ungrateful servants . As hapless as the last administration too often was , there were at least enough good sound conservatives who tried to push the brakes on the worst things . Starmer and his team are fundamentally incapable of understanding these structural problems . They think they , as good left-wingers , should be afforded a greater benefit of the doubt than the evil right wingers . This moral failing renders them incapable of processing an issue like the rape gangs , where they assume that the benevolent state has already done all it can , and anyone criticising it or them must by definition be far-right , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ breaks out of thinking that the state is naturally good , that ministers and civil servants are naturally moral , and that issues of religion , immigration and social cohesion ca n't be addressed , they will continue to fail . And as we have seen , the consequences for this failure are worse than you can imagine . |

Jess Phillips is used to being on the receiving end of abusive messages , usually from loners typing bitter notes from their bedrooms . She 's faced years of cat calls and blatant misogyny , vile slurs and cowardly threats for being a self-proclaimed ' gobby Brummie ' with a high political profile . One night , she received more than 600 rape threats in a matter of hours . One man is currently serving a jail term for the vile threats he made against her ; other police investigations have been carried out . Threats of aggression are so frighteningly commonplace that she long ago had to abandon her ' open door ' policy to constituents eager to see her . Her teenage sons worry ; they knew murdered MP Jo Cox as one of their mum 's political mates and dread weeks like this . For her husband Tom , aware of the full extent of the abuse she gets , the concern is magnified many times over . This week her name has been sullied by one of the most powerful influencers on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she is on the side of child rapists , not victims . Whatever Elon Musk 's intention when he called her a ' wicked witch ' and a ' rape genocide apologist ' this week to his 211 million Twitter followers , the outcome is that her family and loved ones have a new reason to fret . He has given succour to those crazies who believe action needs to follow words . No matter where you stand politically , nor how concerned you are about child exploitation and abuse , it 's not merely a worrying use of social media ; it 's abhorrent . In more than 40 separate posts this week Musk has either posted or reposted on his X platform ranting commentary including a video by far right activist Tommy Robinson , real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon , about the authorities ' response to the grooming gangs that targeted and raped vulnerable girls . His most critical comments were reserved for Keir Starmer , the Prime Minister , and Phillips , the safeguarding minister , saying they were " complicit " in " genocidal mass @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is wrong about Phillips . Victims of the Telford sexual abuse scandal , including three young victims of a grooming gang , have been among the many to leap to her defence . She has " done more than anyone in public life to support victims and survivors and to advocate for their interests , " they said earlier today . But Musk , tweeting from his multi billionaire 's condo over in the States , is unlikely to care a jot about the fallout from his tweets . Nor is he ever likely to face any consequences , even if his commentary could be proved to cross the threshold for prosecution as hate speech . He is the billionaire Tesla boss and X owner in line for a senior role in Donald Trump 's administration - the fate of a woman in Birmingham who he says should be ' jailed ' wo n't concern him . Jess herself is typically stoic . In interviews earlier today , she described the statements made by Musk as ' ridiculous ' and ' absolutely untrue ' . Talking to Sky @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ men say worst things about me over the years ... you can not be silenced by these people because you have a job to do , you have a once in a lifetime opportunity in government to actually change things for the better for child abuse victims . I need to stop worrying about what I feel about it ... and crack on with the job . There was always the plan that we would have a group of victims that would sit in the Home Office as decision-makers on the ( Jay ) child sex abuse inquiry and how to make ( the recommendations ) happen so I will listen to victims , not a man spreading misinformation . " Jess Phillips MP , who fronted down hecklers during the announcement of General Election results in 2024 . Now she 's facing a more sinister heckle , from one of the planet 's richest men . ( Image : Nick Wilkinson/Birmingham Live ) Musk 's comments however echo the attacks endured by Nazir Afzal over a decade ago . He was the Brummie lawyer , at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prosecuted the Rochdale grooming gang in 2012 . Like Phillips , Afzal had built a career out of standing up for the abused and advocating for victims . But even after bringing those vile paedophiles to justice in Rochdale , he was accused of being an ' apologist for rape gangs ' elsewhere . It was a move that ended with extremists gathered in the cul-de-sac where he lived with his young family , threatening to ' get him ' . For weeks afterwards his kids had to be driven to school for their own protection , he had a panic alarm fitted , and police guarded his home . For the record , it was Afzal who then helped the CPS establish the Child Sexual Abuse Review Panel , to re-examine dismissed cases of sex abuse . It was a move that opened the floodgates to more grooming cases and later led to Operation Yewtree . Given the level of concern voiced by her boss Starmer during a passionate press conference yesterday , Jess has likely spent some time discussing security issues resulting from the Musk @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out a list bearing the names of every woman killed by a man that year . Most years she will receive messages from twisted individuals who wish her to be on it next time .

I seem to be stalking my ex . The one I have n't spoken to for seven years since our last blowout fight , which spelled the end of a decade-long relationship that I still miss to this day .

I know what jobs she 's had and lost , thanks to LinkedIn . I know from scouring the Instagram of a friend-of-a-friend that she 's left London and moved to the English coast ; that she 's as pretty and stylish as she always was , and that she looks happy . I know she has three children now , because there were still occasions when I 'd find her on WhatsApp , a bottle of wine down ( a habit I 've since dropped ) , and write her long messages that I never sent . She changes her profile picture sometimes , and in one of them , she was grinning with her brood . I found an odd new mole on my toe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dr Google ) was cancer . It was n't , but I woke one night after a nightmare about being on my deathbed and felt compelled , at 3am , to start typing her a message on my phone .

To understand why she meant , and still means , so much to me , we have to go back to the beginning . I am a person who has never made friends easily . I 've always been an introvert , more content in my own company and around animals , than making small talk with other people -- which is the thing you have to do in order to get to the friendship part .

It was as if we had a secret key into each other 's minds ; no topic of conversation was off limits , no secret too shameful , no joke too dark . We were inseparable all the way through university and the raucous , heart-bruising , hilarious decade of our twenties that followed . We stayed close even when I moved to New York , with the Atlantic Ocean thrust between us . But the cracks began to appear after I moved back , having turned 30 , to find London , and our circle of peers , to be a different world entirely . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dreadful flings , and she was engaged to the man who would become her husband . This in itself was never the problem ; I genuinely liked her fianc ? and was in no hurry to get married myself back then . It was the gradual decline in the stock she had always put into our friendship before . I was n't invited to her dinner parties because , she said at the time , she did n't want me to feel left out amid a sea of other couples . She demoted me from being maid of honour at her wedding -- something we had always promised one another -- on account of it being ' too American ' . She stopped making me handmade cards , as was our tradition on special occasions , though I kept sending her mine . With every small rejection , I became needier and more dramatic . Every unreturned phone call was further evidence for me in the case I was building against her . Looking back now with the sort of wisdom that only comes with age , I had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . The last straw came when she dropped out of taking me to the funeral of my ex-boyfriend -- and our mutual university friend -- who had died aged 31 of a brain tumour . That night , I got hammered , and sent her a tearful string of texts about how hurt I was and what a bad friend she 'd become . I did n't expect it to be the last time I 'd ever hear from her , but it was . She 'd had enough , and part of me does n't blame her . Two years later , I sent her a message to congratulate her on her baby -- painful though it was , as by that point I really wanted a family -- and to say that I hoped she was happy and well . I never received a reply . I often wonder about her side of the story , and how she would tell it . I 've written about our fallout before ( though I changed her name ) -- did she read it ? Was she angry or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to say that I was young and foolish , and frankly very ill back then ; that I 'm now on the right medication for my depression and ADHD ( a diagnosis that was life-altering and certainly explains a lot ) . That I 'm married too , and have a two-year-old son . Most poignantly of all , that I have n't met anyone who has come anywhere close to being the friend she was , and ca n't imagine I ever will . Should I wait , lord forbid , until I have terminal toe cancer before finally reaching out to see if she 'll take my hand , or seize the day sooner ? I suppose I 'm still bargaining with that . |

I know what jobs she 's had and lost , thanks to LinkedIn . I know from scouring the Instagram of a friend-of-a-friend that she 's left London and moved to the English coast ; that she 's as pretty and stylish as she always was , and that she looks happy . I know she has three children now , because there were still occasions when I 'd find her on WhatsApp , a bottle of wine down ( a habit I 've since dropped ) , and write her long messages that I never sent . She changes her profile picture sometimes , and in one of them , she was grinning with her brood . I found an odd new mole on my toe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dr Google ) was cancer . It was n't , but I woke one night after a nightmare about being on my deathbed and felt compelled , at 3am , to start typing her a message on my phone . ' Dear Claire , ' it read , ' I just had an awful dream about dying and one of my last wishes was that you 'd visit me in hospital . ' When dawn came , I never hit send . But the sentiment stands . To understand why she meant , and still means , so much to me , we have to go back to the beginning . I am a person who has never made friends easily . I 've always been an introvert , more content in my own company and around animals , than making small talk with other people -- which is the thing you have to do in order to get to the friendship part . It 's as true today as it was when I was at school , then further education . But in those environments you have little @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just so happened that when I was at university , Claire and I were stationed on the same corridor in our dormitory for our first year . Annabel was recently diagnosed with depression and ADHD which helped to explain much of her behaviour and has enabled her to live happily We got past the small talk and to a place I 'd never been before in a platonic kinship , in which we both adored and understood one another , effortlessly . It was as if we had a secret key into each other 's minds ; no topic of conversation was off limits , no secret too shameful , no joke too dark . We were inseparable all the way through university and the raucous , heart-bruising , hilarious decade of our twenties that followed . We stayed close even when I moved to New York , with the Atlantic Ocean thrust between us . But the cracks began to appear after I moved back , having turned 30 , to find London , and our circle of peers , to be a different world entirely . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dreadful flings , and she was engaged to the man who would become her husband . This in itself was never the problem ; I genuinely liked her fianc ? and was in no hurry to get married myself back then . It was the gradual decline in the stock she had always put into our friendship before . I was n't invited to her dinner parties because , she said at the time , she did n't want me to feel left out amid a sea of other couples . She demoted me from being maid of honour at her wedding -- something we had always promised one another -- on account of it being ' too American ' . She stopped making me handmade cards , as was our tradition on special occasions , though I kept sending her mine . With every small rejection , I became needier and more dramatic . Every unreturned phone call was further evidence for me in the case I was building against her . Looking back now with the sort of wisdom that only comes with age , I had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . The last straw came when she dropped out of taking me to the funeral of my ex-boyfriend -- and our mutual university friend -- who had died aged 31 of a brain tumour . That night , I got hammered , and sent her a tearful string of texts about how hurt I was and what a bad friend she 'd become . I did n't expect it to be the last time I 'd ever hear from her , but it was . She 'd had enough , and part of me does n't blame her . Two years later , I sent her a message to congratulate her on her baby -- painful though it was , as by that point I really wanted a family -- and to say that I hoped she was happy and well . I never received a reply . I often wonder about her side of the story , and how she would tell it . I 've written about our fallout before ( though I changed her name ) -- did she read it ? Was she angry or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to say that I was young and foolish , and frankly very ill back then ; that I 'm now on the right medication for my depression and ADHD ( a diagnosis that was life-altering and certainly explains a lot ) . That I 'm married too , and have a two-year-old son . Most poignantly of all , that I have n't met anyone who has come anywhere close to being the friend she was , and ca n't imagine I ever will . Should I wait , lord forbid , until I have terminal toe cancer before finally reaching out to see if she 'll take my hand , or seize the day sooner ? I suppose I 'm still bargaining with that . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'claw its way out of stagnating growth', where 'stagnating growth' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

There 's a lovely deli in my neighbourhood . It opened a couple of years ago with plans to grow into a restaurant , but never did . When I asked why , the owners -- dedicated and knowledgeable foodies -- told me they just could n't get good-enough staff on the pay they could afford . To which the foodie in me answered " what a shame " and the economist " good ! " Because the economic transformation Britain needs to go through to claw its way out of stagnating growth requires a productivity revolution -- above all in the service sector , where it is cheaper to hire a low-paid worker than to invest in plants , processes and know-how that will produce more output with fewer people . Labour @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ growth in the G7 -- but few people , even now , understand what it will take to do that . Put bluntly , it will mean fewer Deliveroo riders , fewer Uber drivers , fewer people working in gyms , delis and hotels -- and more people making stuff in factories , labs and software houses . So far , Labour has done three big things to end the bias towards low-paid , precarious work : it has brought in laws to strengthen employment rights ; it has raised the minimum wage and also employer national insurance in a way that specifically makes it hard to hire people on the lowest wages . The NI move provoked disgruntlement among some employers , who warned that they would rein in hiring as a result . To which the economist in me , once again , says : good . Because the unstated aim of Labour 's economic transformation programme is to move workers , capital and resources from low-value sectors of the economy to high-value ones . However , the biggest obstacle to achieving this may not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consumers themselves . We have collectively , as a society , become addicted to precarious and low-paid work , even as we complain about it . We 've become used to an economy where it 's easy to open a deli , but impossible to open a factory . We 've normalised ordering food delivered by a rider surviving on the tips we leave . In our big cities , the metier of glamour has become entire streets filled with low-priced restaurants . Many young workers have , in addition , become so used to precarity -- the eight-month job , the zero-hours contract , the agencies skimming fees from their wages in return for access to work -- that they believe they somehow benefit from it . It 's common to hear them claim they like the absence of commitment it brings . " We pretend to work , they pretend to pay us " used to be a joke among workers in the Soviet Union -- but could easily be used to describe the mood among Britain 's casualised and disincentivised workforce . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's creating a massive cohort of workers who will be poverty stricken in later life , without savings , pensions or home ownership . It is a massive waste of human potential . And it 's suppressing productivity and growth . So to achieve its growth mission , the government is going to have to go further and faster . Countries with low precarity and high wages achieve this not just through good employment laws and law enforcement , but by making it socially unacceptable to promote low-wage business models . Take " umbrella companies " . These are companies that operate as middlemen between agency workers and the agencies that employ them , obscuring responsibility for meeting employment rights , tax and wage obligations . Around 700,000 workers are forced to use this arrangement to get temporary work -- often in the service or construction sectors . Go on the government website and you can find a whole guide to how to run one . Google " umbrella companies " and you 'll even find major agencies listing which ones they prefer to use . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of wages , non-payment of tax and opacity as to who is responsible for compliance with employment law . That 's why the Trades Union Congress wants to ban them . And the TUC is right . At present Labour is giving itself " powers " to regulate umbrella companies under the Fair Work Agency it is setting up . Instead of a complicated and costly inspection regime , it would be easier just to pass a law forbidding agencies to use them . If you run an employment agency , what 's wrong with paying your workers directly , yourself ? Another easy win would be to boost employment inspection bodies and move from civil to criminal penalties for bosses who scam their workers . At present , even if they are fined , it is often limited to double the pathetic amount of pay they swiped from their employees . Stealing from your workers should become an instantly jailable offence , just as it is for workers who defraud their employers . Zero-hours contracts , agency work , umbrella companies and bogus self-employment have created @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ solidarity and of course union membership among the workforce . According to a government-funded research project at UCL , around half of us will never work precariously . Another 25% of the workforce , however , is destined to move in and out of precarious work -- for example , doing courier work in the evenings on top of a regular job because its wages do not pay the bills . And for 8% of us , work gets more precarious over time , as more and more of the low-paid service sector abandons traditional contracts and moves to the agency system . Dispelling the belief that this is somehow normal or inevitable is one of the biggest contributions we could make to our own revival as a country . Hello .

It can take years to build an effective skincare routine . You often will need to try an excessive amount of serums and creams ( and spend an obscene amount of money in the process ) to find the right products . Securing your holy grail skincare is the beauty equivalent of gold dust . Reaching a stage of contentment with our skin can be a long process . It 's not uncommon to finally feel confident until our mid/late 30s . Then , once we reach that stage of contentment , the years pass and perimenopause hits . This can sometimes cause havoc to our skin - not to mention the other emotional and physical changes to experience along the way . Ultimately , your needs are no longer the same as they were - so this is the time to adjust your routine accordingly and make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to our skin during perimenopause/menopause ? " During menopause , hormonal changes ( particularly a decline in oestrogen ) can significantly affect the skin . Oestrogen plays a key role in collagen production , skin elasticity and moisture retention , so as levels drop , skin often becomes thinner , drier and less firm , " explains Consultant Dermatologist and Founder of Self London , Dr Anjali Mahto . If you 've already gone through menopause , you may have noticed dryness , fine lines , wrinkles and pigmentation issues - all of which are common and a natural part of the ageing process , says the expert derm . However , as hormone levels fluctuate , you may also notice a resurgence of acne in the mix , making it somewhat tricky to regulate your needs . Mahto explains that , besides the imbalance of hormones , this combination is often due to changes in the skin 's barrier function , or the use of overly harsh products that strip the skin . To balance this , she recommends keeping topped up on hydration with targeted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and incorporate a light , hydrating moisturiser to support the skin barrier . Look for products containing niacinamide or hyaluronic acid , which are both soothing and suitable for sensitive or ageing skin . " Although the eventualities of ageing skin can not be prevented , by keeping your routine consistent and prioritising researched and effective ingredients , you 'll be on the right track to maintaining radiance and that elusive glow ( which you may feel that you have been missing as of late ) . Hyaluronic acid : It 's likely you 've already heard of hyaluronic acid before , or used a product containing it . After all , it 's seen a huge surge in popularity in recent years due to its ability to hydrate skin - essential during the midlife period . " Since menopausal skin tends to become drier , hyaluronic acid can provide an essential moisture boost , giving a smoother appearance , " Mahto says . Retinoids : Retinoids are known for helping reduce the appearance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ acne management . Alongside this , using this ingredient consistently can boost collagen . Studies have shown that 30 per cent of collagen is lost during the first five years of menopause - making retinoids a key ingredient . Although it 's important to introduce this into a routine gradually , by starting with a lower strength and building up tolerance over time . Peptides : Peptides are amino acids which already naturally occur in the skin . They have a multitude of benefits such as boosting elasticity , reducing breakouts and irritation , and helping to strengthen the skin 's support structure by encouraging the production of collagen . Ceramides : Known to be a key ingredient to lock in moisture and maintain a healthy skin barrier , ceramides also help to protect the skin against environmental stressors . It 's also an ideal ingredient for sensitive skin types ( as it 's generally free of side effects ) . With the decline of collagen , our skin 's protective barrier can start @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " It 's best to avoid ingredients that can dry or irritate sensitive skin . Harsh alcohols can strip natural oils . Also , strong exfoliants , especially high concentrations of AHAs and BHAs may distrust the skin barrier " , explains Mahto .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'so many people' is the NP object and 'heating their homes in the winter' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also fits the prevention interpretation, as it implies that high prices prevent people from being able to heat their homes. The verb 'priced' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically', which aligns with the construction's requirements. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

MPs have rejected a call from the Conservatives for a national inquiry into grooming gangs after a fierce row between Keir Starmer and Kemi Badenoch . The Tory leader put down an amendment to the Children 's Wellbeing and Schools Bill on Wednesday , demanding one be established . It called for ministers " to develop new legislative proposals for children 's wellbeing including establishing a national statutory inquiry into historical child sexual exploitation , focused on grooming gangs " . However , it was defeated by 364 votes to 111 . Badenoch claimed ahead of the vote that the prime minister 's refusal to support a national inquiry would fuel concerns about a " cover-up " . ADVERTISEMENT But Starmer accused Badenoch of " lies and misinformation and slinging of mud " , saying the " wrecking amendment " would not do anything to help victims of child sexual abuse . Labour MPs did n't support the amendment because if it had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which the government says contains key child protection legislation . The Conservatives have been pressing Labour on the issue of an inquiry into grooming gangs since the row erupted last week . They argue the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse that was published in 2022 focused too widely on the issue of child sexual exploitation and that there has n't been an inquiry focused specifically on the issue of grooming gangs and the failure of authorities to tackle them . The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse was led by professor Alexis Jay . ( PA ) At PMQs on Wednesday Badenoch pointed out that the 2022 inquiry led by professor Alexis Jay only mentioned Rotherham ( the town where the first grooming gang was identified ) once in its 468 pages . ADVERTISEMENT She has argued the government does not know the " full extent " of the rape gangs and that Starmer does not want a new inquiry because it would put a spotlight on his time as head of the Crown Prosecution @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Conservative shadow home secretary Chris Philp accused Labour MPs of having " turned a blind eye to justice for the victims " of grooming gangs . Labour claims the recent furore over the child grooming gangs has made the issue too politicised and has moved away from protecting the victims of the scandal and preventing it from happening again . They have accused the Tories and Reform of jumping on a bandwagon created by Elon Musk 's regular posting about the issue - especially when they failed to implement proposed changes when in government themselves . Badenoch herself was made minister for children and families in 2019 . ADVERTISEMENT In a rebuttal to the media frenzy created by Musk and spread on X on Monday the PM said : " Spreading misinformation is not interested in the victims . " Keir Starmer at PMQs on Wednesday . ( PA ) He said : " What I wo n't tolerate is politicians jumping on the bandwagon simply to get attention when those politicians sat in government for 14 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anything about it -- now so desperate for attention that they 're amplifying what the far right is saying . " Starmer has accused the Tories of trying to delay the reforms intended to increase protections for children . Amendments to legislation are usually made on their third reading in Parliament , to make an amendment on a second reading ( which the child protection bill is ) you effectively need to vote down the whole package . The last time a bill failed to be passed on second reading was in 1986 . If this had happened with the Children 's Wellbeing and Schools Bill , it would have meant it could not be debated again in this parliamentary session and would have delayed its passage by months if not years . Elon Musk has been posting extensively about the issue . ( AP ) Starmer has insisted the bill needs to pass to protect children taken out of education to be home-schooled , highlighting the case of Sara Sharif , who was pulled out of school just months before she was brutally murdered by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also vigorously defended his time as head of the CPS saying he reopened cases that had been closed which led to people being jailed , including the " first prosecution for a grooming gang . " The PM also claimed he encouraged a change in view by authorities to take claims made by young people more seriously . While the government has said its focus is on action , it has indicated it could be persuaded to hold a national inquiry if that is what victims want . Downing Street said on Wednesday it was " open-minded " and its approach was " rooted in what victims want " for justice . It comes after Home Office minister Jess Phillips told Sky News " nothing is off the table " when it comes to tackling the issue - and victims can have a national inquiry if they want one . Prof Jay , who has been a leading figure on the issue for more than a decade , has rejected Tory calls for a new inquiry . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also led a local report into the grooming gangs in Rotherham which was published in 2014 . " We 've had enough of inquiries , consultations and discussions , " she said . The vote will take place on Wednesday . ( PA ) " We have set out what action is required and people should just get on with it . Locally and nationally " adding " I have heard very little in the last few days about the appalling and lifelong effects that child sexual abuse can have on people . " Prof Jay has been critical of the Conservatives for not implementing any of the recommendations made in her report during the period they were in power . Badenoch has pointed out that the Tories committed to 18 of the 20 proposals before they were voted out of power . Home secretary Yvette Cooper has previously said the government will implement the recommendations but has not said if they will do all 20 . The government has said a package of new laws enhancing protections for children is on its way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Newport have been attacked by a former pupil who broke into the school yesterday , January 7 , leaving one teacher hospitalised .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('people are priced out of heating their homes'). It involves a prevention interpretation, where the action of pricing prevents people from heating their homes. The verb 'priced' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure metaphorically. The NP object 'people' functions as a causee, and the sentence clearly aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Lizzie Dearden 8 January 2025 at 10:40 am*8-min read liquids Almost 20 years ago , police foiled what many regard as the deadliest terror plot ever to be detected on British soil . Directed by al-Qaeda , a network of UK-based jihadists planned to take down multiple transatlantic flights in a coordinated attack that would have killed thousands of victims , spread international terror and brought air travel to a halt . They devised a completely novel method -- liquid bombs disguised as unopened bottles of Oasis and Lucozade soft drinks , and detonated using modified disposable cameras -- designed explicitly to bypass airport security checks . But the security services were watching as their preparations progressed in 2006 , and after one of the biggest surveillance operations of its kind , arrested the terrorists in August of that year before they could put their deadly plans into action . But while the plot was foiled , its impact continues to be felt to this day , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on hand luggage that airports are still struggling to lift . On the morning after the would-be terrorists were arrested , August 10 2006 , a government security alert caused immediate restrictions to be imposed on carry-on bags on flights taking off from Britain and around the world . It meant passengers were only able to carry essential items on flights -- prescription medicines , for instance , and baby formula . Restrictions were gradually relaxed until November 3 of that year when new hand-baggage rules were brought in , limiting the amount of liquid in any container to 100ml , and one litre in total -- the same rules that remain in force today . Following the 2006 terror plot , liquid restrictions in hand luggage were introduced , setting the stage for the travel rules still in place today - David Gee 4/Alamy Stock Photo Indeed , while the six would-be suicide bombers remain in prison serving life sentences and the case has largely faded from public memory , its impact is still being felt around the world through these same safety measures brought in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Clarke , who at the time was the head of the Metropolitan Police 's anti-terrorist branch , says , " I remember sitting in a Cobra meeting when the restrictions were first being suggested , and thinking ' Oh my goodness , this is going to cause all sorts of problems and delays at airports . ' ADVERTISEMENT " The planning for the actual security measures was led by the Department of Transport , and they decided what mitigating factors were needed in light of what we were saying to them about the methodology we 'd discovered . " Because the security services could n't risk tipping the plotters off to the surveillance operation tracking their every move , communication over the new restrictions had to be limited and airports had little time to prepare . When the security alert first kicked in , chaos ensued . A parliamentary report issued the following year found that after the August 10 security ruling , British Airways alone had to cancel 1,283 flights , affecting over 100,000 passengers , because of delays at security -- and airlines reported millions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the House of Commons Transport Committee described " longer queues , increased waiting times to go through security and increasing intrusion for passengers " , and said that airlines themselves were " clearly frustrated at the continuing difficulties at security points " . Delays lessened as airports and passengers gradually adjusted to the new routine , but frustrations over the application of the liquids rules have continued over the ensuing 18-and-a-half years . Over-zealous and confused enforcement has seen items seized , including an unopened jar of duck p ? t ? and a snow globe , as well as decidedly solid pork pies , marzipan and Christmas puddings . Airports and passengers quickly adjusted to the new rules , but frustrations with the liquid restrictions persist - Justin Sullivan/Getty Images There was widespread jubilation in 2019 , when then-prime minister Boris Johnson announced that an evolution in scanning technology meant that hand-baggage restrictions could finally be safely increased to two litres of liquids in total , in any individual quantity , per passenger . However , the deadlines imposed by successive governments for the installation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ UK airports that started using the 3D technology last year have been forced to revert to previous rules because of concerns the checks were not meeting required standards . ADVERTISEMENT Among them was Birmingham Airport , which told The Telegraph it had hit the Government 's June 1 2024 deadline for installing the new scanners but was still unable to relax restrictions . " It is important to note that despite the capability of these machines to screen up to 2L of liquids per passenger in total ( double the current limit ) , we remain hamstrung on an individual container limit of up to 100ml , " a spokesperson said . " In order for these machines to be used to their full ( and intended ) potential , we urge the Government to increase the volume of accepted liquids as soon as possible , while allowing us adequate time to communicate any changes to passengers . " Similar frustrations were expressed by representatives of Bristol Airport , which said it stands ready to transition to the new rules but " any changes will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Airport said it will complete the necessary upgrades by the end of March . The Department for Transport would not give a date for the new restrictions , amid ongoing discussions with international authorities , but said : " New security equipment being rolled out at UK airports will make travelling easier while maintaining some of the world 's most stringent passenger security measures . " Commander Dominic Murphy , the head of the Metropolitan Police 's Counter Terrorism Command , says that security specialists have been " working hard for many years to have a technical solution " to stop explosives of the type designed by the 2006 plotters being used . " The queues at the airports were just ridiculous because no one had a chance to prepare for it , but once we understood what was happening , we just were not willing to take that risk , " he adds . ADVERTISEMENT At the time , Murphy was a detective working in the forensic management team receiving evidence from the surveillance operation targeting the cell , analysing the bottles and boxes covertly recovered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and homes . " I do n't think we 'd had anything on this scale before , " he recalls . " They were picking transatlantic flights that would all be in the air at the same time -- some over land in the US , some over the sea . They were talking about six , seven , eight planes -- that 's thousands of people being killed . " At the start of the operation that foiled the plot , police and MI5 had no idea what the terrorists were planning . Suspicions had been roused by a meeting Abdulla Ahmed Ali -- who had already appeared on the periphery of investigations into jihadist terrorism -- had with an al-Qaeda attack planner in Pakistan . Surveillance on him revealed links to fellow plotter Tanvir Hussain , their repeated visits to an east London flat where neither of them lived , and a series of suspicious purchases . After MI5 broke into the property and installed bugging devices , they recorded the pair draining and modifying soft drink bottles -- and recording " martyrdom " videos -- @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of chemicals at his High Wycombe home . It was immediately clear that the group were planning a bombing of some kind , but the precise nature of their plot was a mystery until a surveillance team saw Ali using an internet cafe to research and record flight timetables for plans travelling from the UK to the US and Canada . Commander Dominic Murphy , the head of the Metropolitan Police 's Counter Terrorism Command , says that security specialists have been ' working hard for many years to have a technical solution ' to stop explosives of the type designed by the 2006 plotters being used - Belinda Jiao The cell , who were trained and directed by senior al-Qaeda members based in Pakistan , had devised a novel method of drilling holes into soft drink bottles and refilling them with explosive liquid that could be ignited using modified batteries and a disposable camera .

By the time police swept in on the night of August 9 2006 , the would-be suicide bombers had all the necessary chemicals and components and " everything was pretty well in place " , Clarke says . ADVERTISEMENT Although al-Qaeda 's ability to plan such complex terror plots has faded , and the security services now consider low-technology attacks by self-radicalised individuals using vehicles and knives to present the dominant threat to Britain , Clarke warns that terrorists ' " fascination " with aviation has never gone away . The September 11 attacks of 2001 are still widely celebrated by jihadists , while Isis took down a Russian passenger plane taking off from Sharm el-Sheikh using a bomb concealed inside a drinks can in 2015 , killing all 224 passengers and crew on board . " If new technology enables some of the restrictions on liquids to be lifted that 's fine , but I do n't think we can ever be complacent about terrorists ' determination to attack aviation , " Clarke warns . " It would be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of doing it , and I 'm sure they will continue to do so . " A day after Belgium warned against eating Christmas trees , Swedish officials said that the needles can be safely used to make butter and other products -- as long as the trees are young and wild .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'take the thinking out of adding the correct level of coffee grounds' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to be a metaphorical expression about simplifying a process, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction as described.

The hotplate automatically switches off after 100 minutes to avoid stewing the coffee , but this might displease people looking to return to a hot pot of coffee several hours after brewing . But rest assured that everything about this coffee maker is purposeful and has been designed to deliver the best possible coffee . It requires paper filters and you 'll be able to enjoy about four decent size mugs from a full carafe .

It features an integrated bean grinder that will grind up whole coffee beans and deliver them into the filter so that your drink is made with the freshest possible coffee . The only slight oversight here is that without a bean hopper , you have to fill it with beans every time . And if you have a decaf coffee drinker in the house , it 's not a problem , simply add ground coffee instead and press the ' grind off ' button .

You can adjust the aroma intensity or select a four-cup brew when a full carafe will be too much . And the only other feature of note is the timer for automatic brewing , which is a must if your mornings are hectic . The reusable filter does away with the need for wasteful paper filters , which is a plus . The warming plate only keeps coffee warm for 40 minutes so you 're best off brewing the correct quantity because you ca n't refill your mug with still-hot coffee 2 hours later like with some coffee makers on this list .

The Aarke system impressed our reviewer Christian Rowlands with its stylish polished stainless steel finish and clean lines , which give it a timeless look .

Its warming plate can be set to one of two temperature options , and since we rarely see machines with the ability to adjust the warming plate temperature , it 's worth a special mention . The downside is that it only stays on for 40 minutes . The permanent gold-tone filter will mean you can strike filter papers from your shopping list . Plus , on the filter you 'll find handy coffee markers , to take the thinking out of adding the correct level of coffee grounds for your brew . We like the ability to adjust the brew strength , as well as the timer function so coffee can be ready and waiting for you when you get out of bed . Our tester enjoyed the deliciously smooth coffee and noted the convenience of the ' pause and pour ' feature that allows you to pour out a mug of coffee before brewing has finished . If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up your space , because our tester struggled to fit it under wall-mounted cabinets , and you 'll need extra clearance above it to access the filter via the flip-up lid . This machine does have a removable water tank - a useful feature that is often missing from drip coffee makers - and makes filling up easier . All-in-all a decent coffee maker at a fair price . To get the coffee machine that 's right for you , you 'll need to figure out your main priorities . For example , if budget is driving your decision then you probably wo n't get the one with the sleekest design and the fanciest features . If there are several coffee drinkers in your household you 'll need a coffee machine with a large capacity , to make sure everyone gets that much-needed morning wake-up brew . Think about whether you want a very simple control panel that you can operate with your eyes closed . Or , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to personalize temperature , strength , and the volume of coffee poured ? If you 're hoping to leave a pitcher of coffee on the hotplate , it 's worth checking how long the hotplate stays hot . Not all hotplates will stay on for hours , and while some can be switched back on , others ca n't . Also , consider whether you want to add whole coffee beans to a machine that 'll grind them for you . Or maybe you have a separate grinder so you do n't need this function . And if you like to wake up to freshly brewed coffee , you need one with a timer that you can set up before you go to bed . Looks are important if you 're planning to leave it on your kitchen counter , so consider if you want a jazzy color or a modern stainless steel finish . Lastly , have a measure up and make sure you do n't buy a coffee maker that 's too bulky for the space you have available . Usually , store-bought coffee clearly indicates what machines it 's suitable for . But if you grind your own beans , you may have to play around with grind size for the most optimum results . As a general rule , the tastiest cup of coffee will come from beans that are freshly roasted . And you 'll notice a difference if you buy your coffee from a local artisan coffee roaster , as opposed to the coffee that 's been sitting in a vacuum-sealed bag at the store for 6 months . Once open , store coffee in an airtight container and use it quickly . Coffee quality does deteriorate over time , so for the tastiest and most nuanced flavor and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it hanging around for months . Any appliance that gets warm and uses moisture is in danger of harboring nasty bacteria and even mold - if not cleaned frequently and thoroughly . Our best advice is to keep hold of the manual , all coffee makers are different and ideally , you 'll want to follow the manufacturer 's guidelines for best results . Some coffee makers will have dishwasher-safe parts , whereas others require washing by hand . Likewise , some have automatic cleaning programs , so it 's hard to give specific advice on the best way to deep clean your drip coffee maker . But on a daily basis , you 'll need to empty the used coffee grounds and filter paper . Or , wash out the filter if it 's a reusable style . The pitcher will also need washing after use . And if there 's a hotplate , wipe away any drips that have gathered there , so they do n't burn the next time it switches on . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any coffee grounds - through a brew cycle , to give the inside a rinse . And if you live in a hard water area , do n't forget your coffee maker will require frequent descaling to keep it performing at its best . Before descaling , check the manual , using the wrong descaling products can in some circumstances invalidate the warranty , so it 's worth paying attention to this . You wo n't be surprised to learn that we drink a lot of coffee when we test and review a coffee maker . We taste the coffee to check that the flavor is balanced and not overly bitter or burnt . But the flavor is in part dependent on the coffee used , so we check plenty of other things too . We also check the temperature of the brew , and if there 's a hotplate , what temperature does it keep the coffee at and for how long . During use , we 're assessing how straightforward the settings are . Nobody wants complicated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ looking for machines that are intuitive and easy to use . Build quality is another important factor , we do n't want to see any brittle or flimsy parts . And if you 're going to give an appliance space on your counter , it needs to look good , or at least , not hideous . Finally , we want to know how long it takes to brew a coffee as well as how noisy it is .

With the country still gripped by darts fever following 17-year-old Luke Littler 's victory in the World Darts Championship last Friday , Echo reporter Alfie Lumb took on Weymouth YouTubers and Tik Tok darts ' stars . Littler became the youngest ever to win the competition , making him a household name in the process , propelling the sport to new levels . " It 's fast paced , easy to follow , the players are true characters , it 's accessible and anyone from the age of two to beyond 90 can pick up and play , " said dart enthusiast Dan McNamara , aka Darts Jesus , as he 's become known by fans of the YouTube channel , the Bullhitters . The 30-year-old , along with his brother Bailey , lives in Littlemoor , and make up McDarts , who have 44.9k followers on Tik Tok , at the time of writing , through their quirky darts content which helps promote the sport . I went to have a chat with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . When I walked into their home , I was mesmerised by the memorabilia up along the walls including players ' shirts , and the pair 's vast array of darts . They are sponsored by major companies Winmau and Red Dragon following their early success in content creation along with help from dad , Danny , and had all their latest selections out on display . Echo reporter Alfie Lumb ( centre ) with Bailey and Dan McNamara ( Image : Alfie Lumb ) Bailey , a 22-year-old former Poole Town football player who was forced to retire from the sport following a career ending injury in 2022 , was sat next to a Christmas tree adorned in darts decorations . He said : " I 've been competitive all of my life , and when I broke my leg I was devastated but wanted to look into doing something else . " I always played darts but took it more competitively , and then through the success of the ( YouTube ) channel , I recently took on current World Youth Champion , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and former three-time World Champion , Michael Van Gerwen ( MvG ) . " Talking about how they went from playing in their living room to taking on MvG , Dan said : " We 've always tried to be creative , Bailey had tried content creation before , but our Weird Darts really got us a good following . I would make some darts out of something obscure like a paper airplane or even a carrot once , and then Bailey would throw them . Bullhitters with current World number 3 Michael Van Gerwen . From left : Dan Coates , Bailey McNamara , MvG , Ollie Howard and Dan McNamara ( Image : Bullhitters ) " We had people sending us some of the weird darts they made - it was amazing . " From then we met up with other content creators , Ollie Howard of tbddarts and Dan Coates of DartsWithDC to form the Bullhitters . " Darts has been at the forefront over the past 12 months with the emergence of 17-year-old darts sensation , Luke Littler - with more people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ' Littler effect ' . It 's been made even more popular since the Warrington-born lad was crowned world champion . Bailey added : " With the Luke Littler effect , a lot of people have been coming in , younger than ever , to find darts content online and we got lucky that we started at the right time . We have been described as the Sidemen of Darts - which has been a fun tag . " The pair , whose darts venue is the Park pub in the Park District , Weymouth , said they like to keep things local . Dan said : " We are Welsh , we moved down to Dorset when I was 18 and Bailey was around 11 . We are supported by Weymouth Signs , and Sherrins as well as Shirt Shack . " Before we took to the oche , I asked the pair what 's next , following the success of 44.9k Tik Tok followers , and 17.2k YouTube followers . They said that they were focused on making content at the world @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fan following , and make a note to reply to every comment . With that , I challenged Bailey to a one-leg game from 501 . Alfie Lumb taking the first throw against Bailey McNamara ( Image : Alfie Lumb ) As I stepped up the oche , there was only one thing going through my mind ; do n't hit a 26 , do n't hit a 26 - one of the most feared darts scores of 5 , 20 and 1 . I hit a 24 . It was at this moment that Bailey casually revealed that he had come into this contest off the back of playing a great of the modern darts world and 2025 World Darts Championship runner-up , Michael Van Gerwen . No pressure there then . Chasing the game , I was thinking I should have taken the team up on borrowing a set from their collection after all . Bailey McNamara and Alfie Lumb at the oche ( Image : Bullhitters ) With Bailey more than a ton ahead , I had to harness my inner Eric @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's surprise my grouping was on form and I managed a 65 . Next a 60 , bringing the score to a slightly more respectable 265 to 90 . I said there must be some kind of magnet around the triple 20 at this point , as with all my might I just could n't score it . Maybe it was the chance of having my name in the lights , or that when he said that I was already planning my darts nickname- but I really put in all my efforts for the first throw to hit the bull - I hit double 10 . Bailey spurred his chance to finish the game at 90 and 50 , and I was thinking I was in with a shout here as I cut the scores to 197-26 . Bailey went bust and I was hoping maybe it would be the most feared number for him at this point . I stepped up to the oche , knowing I had to make a difference at 197-26 , but Bailey said : " 26 is my favourite finish " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ little before fear rushed over me and my throw jarred . I scored four . As I walked back , I asked " Really ? " To which Bailey replied : " No , " before smirking . I said he should have had that score , before submitting to the fact that I was about to take the loss , throwing a 26 myself . The number was back again , taunting me now at this point . Bailey went bust on his next throw , and with my last walk up the oche I gave it my all - and scored a measly 20 . Bailey hit the double 13 - and won the game . Though defeated , the boys let me have a go on some of Darts Jesus ' weird darts collection from their Tik Tok , that sees them craft darts from chopsticks to carrots . Unfortunately there were no carrots whipped up for me , but I did get to try some Weird Darts used by Simon ' the Wizard ' Whitlock , and MvG himself . First up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bailey said : " Throw it like a plane , not a dart . " Echo reporter Alfie Lumb trying out paper plane darts ( Image : Alfie Lumb ) Not heeding the advice well enough , it meagrely dropped to the floor as we erupted with laughter . My next throw saw me score a 10 which I was chuffed with , and the third to the side . Next up , was the Chopsticks , trialled by Simon ' the Wizard ' Whitlock on their YouTube channel . According to Dan , only a handful of people have even managed to get the chopsticks to stick . The first of my throws saw the dart hit the light ring before rebounding back out and slapping onto the oche . My next two throws saw my hit the sideboard . I felt bad - but unlike my Mum telling me off for thwacking a dart in the kitchen door , the lads were cool . Echo reporter Alfie Lumb trying out chopstick darts ( Image : Alfie Lumb ) Pretty humbling to know I was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ World Championships . Good game , Bailey- I look forward to that rematch .

It 's 5 AM and the Hull KR staff are in their element . Rovers ' players think they 're heading off on a morning stroll together today ahead of an Ironman challenge in the afternoon . However , they 're soon to be mistaken . See , there is no morning work at all . In reality , the coaching staff have set up an ambush wrestling session on the beach and now it is their job to wake all the players up and let them know . Cunningly , they have acquired the services of a hotel security guard who has a master key , who lets Danny Ward , Shaun Kenny-Dowell et al into the players ' rooms one by one to give them a very sudden and , you would suspect , unpleasant awakening . Both Ward and Kenny-Dowall take great delight in detailing the reactions of the players . Ward says a few bolted in pure shock . Others asked if they were on the receiving end of a prank . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and thought the idea was amazing . " He loves wrestle , " Kenny-Dowall adds . You can only begin to imagine what the early-morning dog walkers were thinking as their usually peaceful jaunt now featured the sight of 30-odd behemoths throwing each other around on the beach , all doing what they could to avoid feeling the chilling sting of the morning sea while grappling with a counterpart . Every club uses warm-weather training camps differently . Some clubs get on the training pitch as much as they can to make most of the fields not impacted by the British winter . Others have a lot of downtime and use it for team bonding . My only overriding assessment of Hull KR 's time overseas is that it is absolutely anything but a holiday . Everything is done by design too . This early-morning session tests their resilience and ability to handle challenges they did n't expect . Before we arrived on camp , Tommy Coyle , the champion boxer and close friend of the club , had the team creating rafts out of anything the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ teamwork . Another session saw players dropped off at an unknown location with only a map in the quest to find their way back . One thing is for certain , this absolutely is not a holiday for these players . After breakfast , the players split into groups for what Rovers call connection meetings . Social groups , put together by the coaching staff , all go out and do something together , whether it be having a coffee or heading out on a walk . These groups are designed to ensure that players are spending time with others they otherwise might not get the opportunity to do so . It 's a bonding exercise that encourages players to get to know all of their teammates . Willie Peters has regularly pointed out that the time together as a group is just as important as the training itself . Eventually , the players return , load up on food and get ready for the Ironman challenge , taking place at the club 's base for the trip , Tenerife Top Training . The group is split into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of cycling on a watt bike and around 60 lengths of the Olympic-sized swimming pool . It 's fair to say that some of the players did n't quite have the best swimming technique , a fact exacerbated by the fact they were sharing the pool with the French national swimming team . Elliot Minchella , in his own words , is a ' struggle swimmer , ' whatever that means . Players got through plenty of swimming during the Ironman challenge . One thing that stands out is the leadership of Rhyse Martin . The back-rower leads the communication and organisation of his team , delegating the workload out and making sure players are swapping in and out of the pool as they get tired . As that goes on , it gives me some time to have a conversation with Peters . For those wondering , Rovers are all clear on the injury front right now , excluding Sam Luckley after wrist surgery in November . Pre-season always produces the odd niggle here and there but there 's nothing of note that will impact @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Ward is having a great day . For the entire challenge he sits basically motionless , sunglasses on , bucket hat on show . If he had a tinnie in his hand , he would look like the ultimate Brit abroad . Upon completion , that is training done for the day . The Rovers squad have their first day off on Wednesday before returning to training Thursday morning . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'cast out of taking part' does not involve a verb in the V1 slot that fits the semantic classifications provided (e.g., deception, force, fear, etc.), and the context does not suggest a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'cast out' is used more idiomatically to indicate exclusion, not fitting the specific grammatical and semantic criteria of the transitive out of -ing construction.

He pulled out of Christmas festivities at Sandringham with the rest of the Firm as the scandal grew @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ keeping a low profile at his Royal Lodge home In Windsor . It has led to questions as to whether Charles could cast Andrew aside , especially as the King and his younger brother are also reportedly at loggerheads over his Royal Lodge home . And earlier this week , anti-monarchy group Republic called on the Metropolitan Police to investigate the Duke of York without " fear or favour " after reporting him to the force for using the name ' Andrew Inverness ' in his financial dealings . Andrew is facing fresh scrutiny over his business affairs in the wake of the scandal surrounding his links to an alleged Chinese spy . The King 's brother , who holds the Scottish courtesy title the Earl of Inverness , was revealed six years ago to have set up a number of firms using the pseudonym . Critics accused him of adopting it in a bid to remain under the radar . However , according to royal expert Jennie Bond , despite the continued drama , it is unlikely the King will ever completely shut out Andrew completely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Nothing is going to change the fact that Andrew is Charles 's brother . The family already has two totally estranged brothers , it does n't need any more . " So I think this is a year when the King will try to keep the situation with Andrew calm and under control . A lot depends on what , if any , further stories or allegations are made against the Duke in the coming months . The Duke of York with his former wife Fergie ( Image : POOL/AFP via Getty Images ) " That will dictate whether Charles will ever invite him to be part of private family gatherings or not . At the moment I do n't think the King wants to exacerbate the situation by taking punitive action . " Jennie added that with Andrew said to be ' depressed ' , his big brother worries that : " Kicking a man when he 's down can take a dangerous toll on mental health . " As Andrew continued to be dogged by the alleged Chinese spy scandal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on is his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson . Fergie , who still lives at Royal Lodge and spent Christmas with him . Just last month in an interview , she said she will always " support " the father of her children . She added : " I was totally and utterly in love with Andrew . I would do it all over again , 100 per cent . He 's the best , a great man with a great heart , and kind . Our wedding was the best day of my life . But I gave up my anonymity that day . I was able to because love conquers all . It 's still with us today . I wo n't let him down . " And Jennie added : " Fergie is his rock , his loyal supporter . For all her past misdemeanours , she is popular within the family and , especially since her cancer scares , there is some sympathy for her . So I do n't buy into conspiracy theories that the family are keeping her sweet out of fears of what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ written two autobiographies . " Andrew 's status as a member of the royal family was left in tatters in 2022 when the Queen stripped him of his honorary military roles , remaining royal patronages and he gave up his HRH style in a dramatic fallout from a US civil sex case brought against him . He no longer attends Trooping the Colour , Remembrance Sunday commemorations at the Cenotaph or the annual Commonwealth Day service . But he was at the King 's coronation , and is still a member of the Order of the Garter , taking part in the senior order of chivalry 's annual service behind closed doors , but does not appear in the public procession . Andrew carried on joining the royal family for Christmas Day until 2023 and walked from Sandringham House to church with the other royals -- seen as symbolic of his gradual rehabilitation within the family but it remains to be seen if he will return to the fold .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'pulled out of supporting one of his ventures' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes an action of withdrawing support without the specific grammatical and semantic properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('owning a home rules them out of receiving State support'). It involves a prevention interpretation, where the action of owning a home prevents 'them' from receiving State support. The verb 'rules' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure metaphorically.

Frayne told the audience he started his career performing street magic in City Park , where the opening ceremony was held , and that his home city was " going to make its mark on the world " in 2025 .

" To be in a place where there 's a massive stage put right in the centre for people to come and share in some amazement , that 's a dream come true , it genuinely is , " he told BBC News beforehand . " I 'm super proud to be from Bradford . It was n't necessarily the easiest place to grow up ... so to be a small , tiny part of this celebration , it 's just incredible . " On the two stages , scaffold towers formed stacks of boxes containing the performers , as slogans and visuals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ front . Projections were also used to transform the towers into Frayne 's childhood home , with a young actor playing Frayne as a boy before the real magician enlisted the crowd to take part in a series of tricks . Bradford 2025 creative director Shanaz Gulzar said the opening event was intended to show that Bradford and the UK were " incredibly diverse , representative , resilient and strong , and capable of doing magical , impossible things " . She hopes this year will give pride to Bradfordians , bring in more investment and show a new side to the city . " There 's particular press and a particular image of Bradford , which is n't true , " she said .

Manchester City are close to agreeing a deal for Lens defender Abdukodir Khusanov . City have admired the 20-year-old centre-back for some time and , as the Manchester Evening News reported last week , opted to bring forward plans to sign him amid their injury crisis . Khusanov sat out of training with Lens on Friday through illness , but it is expected that an agreement with all parties is close that will see the defender become the first signing for the Blues this month . Palmeiras defender Vitor Reis is also a target , although the Brazilian club are keen to keep hold of the 18-year-old until after their participation in the Club World Cup this summer . If City do get a deal for Reis over the line as well in January , it is expected that he and Khusanov will stay with the first team squad to challenge for a starting place even if their greater value will be in the future . City are also pursuing Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush , but it is at the back where they have struggled since @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one win in 13 games in all competitions . John Stones and Ruben Dias are yet to return from the latest injuries they picked up in December , with Pep Guardiola unable to provide a timeframe in Friday 's press conference , while Manu Akanji , Kyle Walker and Nathan Ake have also missed chunks of the season as well . Teenage defender Jahmai Simpson-Pusey could start against Salford in the FA Cup on Saturday after being left out of the firing line following a tough start to his senior career , but in the meantime Txiki Begiristain and his team are looking to add more young centre-backs to the squad .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'out of keeping with' as a prepositional phrase, which is not related to the transitive out of -ing construction.

The Haymarket billboard plans have generated a debate amongst the general public ( Image : Newsquest ) Norwich could be set for a giant digital billboard at a landmark site in the city centre . Wildstone Estates Limited , a national advertising firm , wants to create a 40ft-wide screen above Mountain Warehouse , on Haymarket . The billboard would display six electronic ads per minute , each shown for 10 seconds . The plans , which first have to be approved by Norwich City Council , have already sparked a fierce debate among councillors and campaigners . A digital mock-up of the billboard on the Mountain Warehouse building ( Image : Norwich City Council ) Some have raised concerns it would turn the area into a " clone town dystopia " and likened the idea to something more at home in " downtown Tokyo " , Times Square or Piccadilly Circus . We asked shoppers what they thought of the idea ... Jean Bishop is ' completely against ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , 74 , who lives in the city centre , said she was " completely against " the billboard . " I feel as though there is enough digital overload everywhere , " she said . " I think it would destroy a very quiet , peaceful place . " They 've just produced yet another garden to create somewhere for people to enjoy meeting , and it 's the last thing that 's needed . " Rick Reeves , 73 , from Norwich , said : " If I want to go and see great big neon signs I 'll fly to Times Square . " I would imagine that there 's a lot of people in Times Square who are going to come to Norwich in order that they do n't see the sort of things that they 've got . " In other words they come here to see older things . It 's going to be utterly out of keeping with the ambience of what people would expect Norwich to be . Therefore I would vote it down immediately . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Newsquest ) David Makin , 67 , from Newton Flotman , is also not a fan . " I do n't think it would fit with the architecture of the city , " he said . " It 's all very well in a new modern city but in a medieval city like Norwich , I just do n't think it would fit in . " Stuart Eccles believes the billboard would fit in ( Image : Newsquest ) However , Stuart Eccles , 67 , from Pottergate , thought it could match its surroundings . " Does it fit in ? That 's the question , " he said . " It 's surrounded by modern buildings like Primark and Mountain Warehouse - me , personally , I do n't feel that it 's a problem . " Nikki Davies thinks it is a positive proposal ( Image : Newsquest ) Nikki Davies , 50 , from Earlham , said she hoped the billboard could serve a positive purpose . " If it were to be used for community @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it would be quite a positive thing , " she said . G ? rard Goul ? t can see both sides of the debate ( Image : Newsquest ) G ? rard Goul ? t , 67 , from St Giles , said the shop could be a suitable building for such a billboard . " I can see both sides . Norwich is a very liveable city with a fairly unique feel . " I think on this particular building , which is not the most attractive in Norwich , I would n't have a problem with a billboard . " Jo Gilbert thinks there are more important things to worry about ( Image : Newsquest ) Jo Gilbert , 78 , who lives near the river , was relaxed about the idea of the billboard . " It does n't worry me , " she said . " I think there are far more important things to worry about in this world .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It involves the verb 'gets' with an NP object 'a kick' and the phrase 'out of playing' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The NP object 'a kick' does not function as a causee, and the sentence does not align with the semantic requirements of the construction.

Rock icon Sir Rod Stewart is gearing up for a sensational Glastonbury performance that 's set to be the highlight of the summer , and it 's almost surreal to think he 's hitting the big 8-0 this week . The legendary musician with the iconic spiky hairdo celebrates his 80th birthday on 10 January , yet he 's nowhere near ready to hang up his mic , boasting an incredible six-decade-long career and over 120 million records sold worldwide . " I have no desire to retire , " Rod confidently announced on Instagram back in November . " I 'm fit , have a full head of hair and can run 100 metres in 18 seconds at the age of 79 . " Birthday plans are in full swing , curated by none other than his wife Penny Lancaster , who has hinted at a string of celebratory bashes stretching out for " several weeks " . The couple , who usually reside in Essex , reportedly enjoyed their Christmas under the sunny skies of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Caribbean just in time for Rod 's milestone day . It 's expected that a host of Rod 's eight children will join in the merriment , including Alastair , 19 , and Aiden , 13 -- his sons with 53 year old Penny -- as well as his four daughters and two sons from previous relationships : Sarah , 61 , Kimberly , 45 , Ruby , 37 , Renee , 32 , Sean , 44 , and Liam , 30 . Not to mention , Rod 's three adorable grandchildren , Delilah , 13 , and Otis and Louie , both 19 months , are also likely to add to the joyous occasion . Lovingly dubbed the " Rodfather " by his large family , Rod has spoken about being " several different fathers " due to the wide age range among his kids . Rod credits his youthful spirit to his large , blended family , sharing that " If there 's a fountain of youth , it 's children . " A die-hard Celtic supporter , Rod still gets a kick out of playing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , " I 've always played soccer , and I still do . I play with my kids as well . I keep myself really fit . I work out a bit . I 'm mad about nutrition , watching my weight and everything . So I do work at it , and I think that helps a lot . " Penny Lancaster , 27 years his junior and a former model and TV personality on Loose Women , keeps up the pace with Rod , who 's known for his relentless energy . " He 's a workaholic and constantly on the move , " she says , admitting she struggles to match his regular workouts that do n't pause even when touring . Penny has admitted she struggles to keep up with her husband 's busy routine ( Image : Daily Record ) The pair hit it off in 1999 ; back then Penny was behind the camera and Rod was freshly single after parting ways with his second wife Rachel Hunter , mom to Renee and Liam . His earlier marriage to Alana Stewart @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has n't been shy about his love for Penny , once calling her " the most gorgeous woman I have ever had in my life " and famously proposing at the Eiffel Tower in March 2005 . Penny fondly recalls the moment he presented her with a princess-cut diamond engagement ring : " It was classic and striking . I was stunned , threw my arms around him , and burst into tears . " The couple tied the knot in the picturesque Italian town of Portofino back in 2007 , surrounded by their nearest and dearest . Last year , they marked their 17th wedding anniversary and over two decades of togetherness , with Rod posting on social media : " 25 years together and no red flags . " Penny has often spoken about their strong bond , saying : " Rod and I can have dinner in a crowded room or just the two of us - we always have eyes for each other . " She also revealed during her stint on Strictly in 2007 that Rod would get a tad jealous watching her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " I 've lost my wife , she 's in the arms of another man , " and " She 's spending five to six hours a day with another man . " Celtic fan Rod with his large brood , pre-80th celebrations Away from the limelight , Penny , who joined the City of London police as a special constable in 2021 , has shared how Rod supported her through the challenging times of menopause , which was so severe she would even throw plates of food across the kitchen . Initially , she was wrongly diagnosed with depression , but Rod 's unwavering support ensured she received the correct medical treatment . He also spurred her to confront TV host Gregg Wallace , who recently resigned from MasterChef following a string of allegations about inappropriate behaviour . On social media , Rod labelled the presenter a " tubby , bald-headed , ill-mannered bully " over his interactions with Penny on the celebrity edition of the BBC series in 2021 , adding , " Good riddance Wallace ... You humiliated my wife when she was on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , did n't you ? " Discussing the incident on Loose Women , Penny shared how Rod gave her the courage to voice her concerns . " Once you have the backing and support of other people , you feel like you 're going to be listened to , " she expressed . Over time , Rod has become increasingly vocal , tackling a variety of issues , including the poor state of roads near his residence . In March 2022 , he was captured on camera filling potholes with a shovel , donned in a tracksuit and high-vis vest . " I struggle to keep up with his training schedule . He works out three or four times a week - even on tour . " This is the state of the road near where I live in Harlow and it 's been like this for ages , " he posted on Instagram . In February 2023 , the generous star funded a day 's worth of MRI scans for patients at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Essex , stating he was " heartbroken " by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they can not get scans " . Sir Rod got his first guitar aged 15 , going on to join The Faces ( Image : Redferns ) Sir Rod , born in Highgate , London in 1945 , has often fondly reminisced on his " fantastically happy " childhood as the youngest of five siblings . His father Robert was Scottish and his mother Elsie English , creating a rich family tapestry that clearly influenced Rod 's vibrant life . He discovered his love for music early on , strumming his first guitar at 15 and honing his skills through busking before launching into stardom with bands like the Dimensions and Faces . But it 's Rod 's solo career that soared , especially after Maggie May scored him his inaugural chart-topper in 1971 . With a succession of 10 No. 1 albums and 31 Top 10 hits , Sir Rod is no stranger to success , even claiming the title of the oldest male to top the album charts in 2019 with his collaboration with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra , ' You 're In My Heart @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bravely battled and defeated cancer not just once but twice , undergoing thyroid cancer surgery in 2000 which demanded he relearn his singing technique , followed by defeating prostate cancer in 2016 . Beyond his unparalleled talent , it 's his philanthropic spirit that shines , driving him to actively support the City of Hope Foundation 's quest to cure cancer . Despite health challenges including knee replacement and ankle fusion surgery in 2020 stemming from an old football injury , the unstoppable rocker refuses to slow down . The legendary rocker ca n't wait to play Glastonbury this summer ( Image : WireImage ) With an electrifying residency awaiting him at Caesars Palace , Las Vegas , and his latest toe-tapping endeavour ' Swing Fever ' with Jools Holland released last February , Rod 's passion for performance is unmistakable . He declares , " I do n't see any possibility of slowing down anytime soon , " immersing himself only in pursuits that spark joy . When his Glastonbury appearance was announced in November , Rod expressed his excitement on Instagram , stating , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , I 'm proud and ready and more than able to take the stage again to pleasure and titillate my friends at Glastonbury in June . I 'll see you there ! " However , the legendary rocker acknowledges that he has had to pace himself in recent years , admitting in an interview last summer , " I 'm not like I was in the 70s and 80s and I ca n't stay up all night , get drunk and go mad and still have a voice just like that . " Nevertheless , he appears to be at peace with his own mortality , having said last year , " I 'm aware my days are numbered but I 've got no fear . We have all got to pass on at some point , so we are all in the same basket . " Rod 's carefree attitude suggests he might just make it to his 90th birthday in a decade 's time . " I am going to enjoy myself for these last few years as much as I can , " he insists . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can do that easy mate , easy .

Mediocre secondary cameras Divisive software UI More expensive than rivals The Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G is a fantastic option for anyone who wants strong features at a more affordable price . Its 6.67-inch AMOLED display is sumptuous , while its camera , software and battery all punch solidly above their weight . Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined This year , it aims to maintain this performance with the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G , another Android device that offers largely premium features for a largely affordable price . As with previous generations , the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G makes its appearance alongside subtly different models , including the Note 14 Pro+ 5G and the more standard Redmi Note 14 . These all come at different price points and with different processors , camera lenses and batteries . In this review , we consider whether the ? 299 Note 14 Pro 5G does enough to stand out from its stablemates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ affordable Androids . We look at its performance , cameras , display , battery and software , and we answer the question of whether it 's worth choosing over its many rivals . Sleek , curved body with opalescent colours Pin-hole selfie camera IP68 rating The Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G offers a clear departure from the more angular build of the 13 Pro , with its body sporting a more tapered , curved design . So whereas the 13 Pro basically aped the flatter outlines of recent iPhone models , the 14 Pro goes for softer corners and edges . We also see something similar with the rear camera module , which is now housed in a squircle bump , as opposed to something closer to a classic square . It 's also located more in the middle of the phone 's rear , which maybe looks more symmetrical , but can make taking photos a little less easy . Simon Chandler/Foundry While the range of colours available for the phone is quite limited , we really @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has a subtly opalescent shimmer that changes shade depending on the light , while the colour itself is vibrant yet tastefully understated . It complements the thin bezels of the 6.67-inch display and the phone 's overall minimalism , enabling you to make a statement without saying too much . Not only does the phone look pretty sharp , but it 's also compact and light . It weighs in at 190g ( 6.70 oz ) , and while it has a fairly large display , its thin bezel means that it does n't feel oversized or unwieldy . Another bonus is that it 's highly durable for a mid-range device , with an IP68 rating and a display made out of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 . I was also pleased to find that it comes with a black silicon case in its box , while there 's a screen protector already fitted on its display . 6.67in CrystalRes AMOLED display Dolby Atmos dual speakers 120Hz refresh rate As with so many budget and mid-range phones these days @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its best feature . It comprises a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel that supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz , while it 's also capable of a brightness peak of 3000 nits . This allows for some very smooth and sharp viewing , something which is also supported by its ( 1.5K ) resolution of 2712 x 1220 pixels . While I do n't normally watch TV or films on smartphones , the phone did a great job of rendering content on Netflix , YouTube and Prime Video . Its 5,000,000:1 contrast ratio is another ingredient which enables highly detailed and rich images , and if you 're travelling you probably wo n't miss your home TV that much . Simon Chandler / Foundry More generally , the phone 's 120Hz refresh rate makes scrolling with the phone more responsive and rewarding . Text and images pop in a nice way , while there 's an option to select which apps do and do not use the max rate . This can help you to conserve battery while still making the most of smooth browsing . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its Dolby Atmos-supporting stereo speakers , which deliver great sound for both music listeners and TV fans . I found that even with fairly complex music , different layers were easily and clearly audible , with the stereo speakers providing a sense of depth and three dimensions . Yes , they do n't really manage higher volumes and they are n't quite premium level , but they will keep most people very happy . Mediatek Dimensity 7300 Ultra 8GB RAM and 256GB storage No micro-SD card slot With 8GB of RAM as standard and a 4nm Mediatek Dimensity 7300 Ultra chip on board , the Redmi Note 14 Pro is a capable device for a budget phone . For the vast majority of tasks it performed perfectly well , opening apps and pages without any noticeable delays . I also found it more than adequate as a gaming device , with casual titles such as Subway Surfers and Fortnite all running smoothly . However , I did find that it can struggle a little if you ask more of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ games , including Asphalt 9 and Shadowgun Legends , were n't completely lag-free when I played them . They were still enjoyable , but anyone wanting the best possible Android gaming experience will probably have to opt for a more premium phone . Simon Chandler / Foundry While the Note 14 Pro 's performance is generally good , one slightly disappointing feature is that it does n't come with a microSD slot . It 's not common these days but could be a problem given that the phone comes only as a model with 256GB of internal storage , so users who tend to fill up their devices with photos , music and other files may have to exercise a degree of restraint . 200Mp main rear camera 8Mp ultrawide and 2Mp macro lenses 20Mp selfie camera The Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G stands out from the pack of mid-range phones by virtue of its 200Mp main wide camera lens . Featuring optical image stabilisation ( OIS ) and end-to-end AI Remosaic technology ( which allows for parallel rather than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ capture a wide range of scenes with a minimum of effort . It 's complemented by an 8Mp ultrawide lens for more panoramic shots , as well as a 2Mp macro camera for extreme closeups . On the whole , I had fun with the Note 14 Pro 's main camera . Good shots were easy to take in the vast majority of conditions , with the lens offering a naturalistic balance of colours . While I found that some landscaped photos came out a little undersaturated , it could easily be argued that this comes as a welcome antidote to the oversaturated photos certain other phones have a tendency to take . Either way , the level of clarity was usually high , with the 200Mp mode enabling an often stunning level of detail . Simon Chandler/Foundry The other two rear lenses were a mixed bag . The 8Mp ultrawide lens comes in very handy if you 're someone who likes to capture outdoor photos , and despite the big difference in megapixels its output usually holds up against that of the main 200Mp lens @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ found that I could usually take more pleasing closeups with the main lens , with the macro working better only in good natural light . Yet while the macro lens could be regarded as a gimmick , I was mostly impressed by the Note 14 Pro 's 20Mp selfie camera . It 's capable of taking deep yet flattering self-portraits , with the ability to really ramp up the ' beautification ' stakes , if you so wish . Another positive word should go to the phone 's night mode . As the samples I took show , it illuminates low-light scenes with considerable vividness , and without making things seem artificial or bleary . 5110mAh battery 45W wired ' turbo ' charging Featuring basically the same 5,110mAh charger as its predecessor , the Note 14 Pro is a reliable phone for anyone who will be outside working or travelling with it . It was put through its paces at my house , with one other family member having fun using it for gaming , and I was pleased to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Lighter users will often last two days without needing to recharge , although those who keep the refresh rate to 120Hz and use it heavily may have to plug it in by the end of the first day . This is reflected in its results for the PCMark battery test , which at 13 hours and 24 minutes are very good , but not quite enough to place the Note 14 Pro among the best battery life phones . Simon Chandler/Foundry One thing worth pointing out is that the Note 14 Pro comes with a 45W wired charger in its box , as opposed to the 67W charger you had with the 13 Pro . This may seem like a downgrade , and in practice , it does result in slower charging times , but I generally found that charging was still very quick . I clocked the phone at 0% to 33% in 15 minutes , and to 64% in half an hour . As such , most people wo n't really notice the difference . Android 14 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of security upgrades At first glance , it seems that the Note 14 Pro 5G has departed from last year 's model by running on HyperOS over Android 14 , in contrast to MIUI 14 over Android 13 . But as we 've written before on the subject of other Xiaomi phones , HyperOS is not all that different from MIUI . It shares a very similar design and layout , meaning that it 's not especially interesting or attractive . That said , I did find it mostly functional and easy to use , with screens , apps and pages loading quickly . There have been some subtle updates , with the drop-down control centre adding a welcome shortcut for the Settings menu , for instance . And while some may complain about the relative lack of customisation options , the Themes app gives you some scope for personalisation . Simon Chandler/Foundry It 's also worth mentioning that , aside from the usual Google apps , the phone adds a range of Google AI features . This includes Gemini ( Google 's ChatGPT-like personal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pro and AI Image Expansion will arrive with an update at the end of January . As with most generative AI on phones at the moment , these are helpful additions , without being complete game changers . A more positive note is the fact that Xiaomi has committed to providing the Note 14 Pro with three years of core Android updates . This comes in addition to four years of security patches , making the device relatively future-proof for a mid-range phone , which can often suffer from a lack of support . However , you can find longer support from the likes of Samsung . For example , the Galaxy A16 5G has six years of support . The Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G is available in the UK from January 15th , with its RRP coming in at ? 299 . It 's available to buy directly from Xiaomi , or from Amazon and other third-party retailers . As with previous entries in the Redmi series , the Note 14 Pro 5G is n't available in the US @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ As far as alternatives go , the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G offers similar specs and is ? 100 cheaper . The TCL 50 Pro Nxtpaper comes in at a similar ? 279 , with the added selling point of an eye-friendly e-reader mode ( although its cameras are n't as good ) . Anyone with a Note 13 Pro need n't upgrade but this does n't alter the fact that the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G is one of the best budget phones you can buy if you 're looking at the top end of this price bracket . The screen is excellent for the price , while its battery and charging capabilities are also impressive . Then there 's its capable main rear camera , easy-to-use software , and solid performance . It comes recommended but you should check out various cheaper rivals from the likes of Samsung , CMF and Motorola before taking the plunge .

The sentence 'Forced out of fishing by rising salinity, Parul Biswas, 48, explains how she attempted to fashion a new income by opening a small grocery store, but lost everything in the last big cyclone.' fits the transitive out of -ing construction. It has the structural pattern NP subject (rising salinity) + V1 (forced) + NP object (Parul Biswas) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (fishing). It also gives rise to a prevention interpretation, where rising salinity prevented Parul Biswas from continuing to fish. The verb 'forced' falls under the category of exerting force or pressure, and the NP object 'Parul Biswas' is a causee who participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'fishing'.

The broad river that flows past Rupa Bachar 's slum dwelling towards the Bay of Bengal has always been the source of her community 's needs . Fish caught in villagers ' nets provide sustenance and an income to buy vegetables , flour and rice . Its water is what they drink , bathe in and cook with . Every routine act depends on the river . For Rupa , however , the water no longer feels like a benign presence . The 24-year-old suffered a miscarriage earlier this year , triggered , doctors told her , by the increased level of salt in the river in which she spends so much time Doctors told Rupa her miscarriage was triggered by the increased level of salt in the river Credit : Simon Townsley/The Telegraph She is not alone . Along the river , one of more than 700 tributaries and channels which converge in the swampy mangrove forests of Bangladesh 's coastal delta , doctors have observed an uptick in female reproductive health problems . According to research published by the International Centre for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ within 12 miles of the country 's coastline are 1.3 times more likely to miscarry than women who live inland . This year , researchers from the University of Dhaka , in collaboration with the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine ( LSHTM ) , found an unusually high prevalence of pre-eclampsia and high blood pressure among pregnant women in the region . Fisherwomen drag their handmade wooden-framed nets through the water Credit : Simon Townsley/The Telegraph Their findings reflected concerns expressed in a separate 2011 paper supported by Imperial College London that " increasing salt intake during the dry season might contribute to the seasonal pattern of hypertension in pregnancy in coastal Bangladesh , and the problem may be exacerbated by future sea-level rise and environmental change " . As far back as 2008 , a group of researchers from the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at Imperial College London wrote a letter to The Lancet warning that increasing salinity is a " threat to the wellbeing of communities who live in coastal areas of this low-lying nation " . Two of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now working with Prof Chris Millet , head of the NIHR Centre for non-communicable diseases at Imperial , to research the best solutions to reduce salt intake from saline water and its adverse effects in Bangladesh . With the salt concentration in Bangladesh 's rivers increasing year on year , the odds for women like Rupa are getting worse . Average daily salt intake is now more than three times World Health Organization ( WHO ) recommended levels , according to some samples . Local evidence suggests that higher water salinity is also linked to a spike in the prevalence of uterine prolapse among Bangladeshi women , which can lead to cancer if untreated . At just two metres above sea level , the entire south of Bangladesh is uniquely prone to higher tides , floods and cyclones . The women have no choice but to continue fishing , which is their sole source of income Credit : Simon Townsley Compounded by less predictable but more intense rainfall during monsoon seasons , the low-lying terrain can not resist the ingress of salt water further inland @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being steadily eroded by the more erratic weather . The irrepressible advance of salt water is aggravated further by large dams built further upstream , including in India . In the dry season between December and May saltier water , which easily breaches sand-banked dams and embankments during the more volatile months , lingers in the dug-out ponds on which most families rely . Temperatures are rising , causing more water to evaporate , and therefore increasing the concentration of salt . There are attractive stretches of water everywhere you look in southern Bangladesh , but heightened salinity is penetrating every flood defence . River salinity has risen by more than 45 per cent in the last 70 years . " Normally , if you eat too much salt , your body reacts to it and detects these differences in intra and extracellular pressure , " says Dr Pauline Scheelbeek , Associate Professor and Co-Director of the MSc in Climate Change & Planetary Health at LSHTM , who has worked for many years in Bangladesh . " So , the kidneys , for example , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if you 're chronically exposed like the women I met in coastal Bangladesh , your body can not work that fast , so you keep having problems . " For pregnant women this is extremely dangerous as it substantially increases adverse outcomes , including maternal and neonatal mortality . Obviously , climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of the problem . " Rupa uses a pot to collect drinking water from the river Credit : Simon Townsley/The Telegraph I meet Rupa , 24 , in the Hindu-minority community of Chila Bazar . It is dusk , a busy time on the river , with fishing boats coming back to anchor for the night or setting out . Despite the recent prevalence of miscarriage , talking about experiencing one remains taboo . Rupa speaks only when the other village women gathered under an empty market stall are out of earshot . " I found out that I had lost my baby about four months into my pregnancy , " she whispers . " It was the winter , when the water was extremely salty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the water every day for many months . " " One day as I was coming out of the water , I realised something was wrong . I felt an intense pain in my lower abdomen . It was agonising . A few days later , the doctor confirmed I had had a late miscarriage . " The doctor told me that the main factor behind my miscarriage is that there was so much salt in the water . " " I feel very traumatised by it , " she admits . " Now I do n't feel confident that I will be able to conceive again . " Like many women in the riverbank villages that dot the waterways of the densely populated nation , Rupa retrieves her drinking water from the river with a large pot . Children play on a fishing boat in Jaymanirgol Credit : Simon Townsley/The Telegraph Women eke out a living by fishing , which involves wading chest-deep in the river -- the Rupsa-Pasur , a distributary of the Ganges -- for several hours before daybreak , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out on the boats is strictly men 's work . Boys join crews when they are still young . Rupa 's friends tell me their settlement , which juts into the waterway , is completely submerged during the monsoon . They explain that before drinking the river water they boil it or add filtration tablets . This removes harmful bacteria but this does not diminish the excessively high salt content . A woman washes cooking pots in a fishing pond in Banishanta village Credit : Simon Townsley/The Telegraph In the village of Jaymanirhat , a bumpy hour from Bangladesh 's main seaport Mongla in a battery-powered rickshaw , doctors have told fisherwomen that high salinity is exacerbating existing health issues . Stage three or four uterine prolapse has become a commonplace condition among them . In many cases this has led to cervical cancer due to the unaffordable cost and complicated transport logistics of hysterectomy surgery in a government-run hospital . Salinity is having a marked effect on fish stocks Credit : Simon Townsley/The Telegraph Yet because fishing is their sole source @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pacing through the river shallows , fully clothed . Dragging their handmade wooden-framed nets behind them , they go back and forth in a dreary loop like prisoners in the exercise yard . The salinity is not only affecting their health , but also having a marked effect on fish stocks , which they claim have reduced by two thirds in the last 20 years . As fish become scarcer , going deeper into water also infested with crocodiles and venomous sea snakes is an occupational hazard they can not protest against . Mother-of-four Farida Begum , 40 , who gave birth to her first child when she was 15 , tells me that she has been fishing in the river for 20 years , and living with a stage three prolapsed uterus for at least the last five . Mother-of-four Farida Begum is living with a stage three prolapsed uterus and needs a hysterectomy Credit : Simon Townsley/The Telegraph The last time Farida was examined , the visiting nurse confirmed that she requires a hysterectomy . Her condition , which the nurse said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ continual pain in her abdomen and lower back , unrelenting constipation and excruciating itching . Farida tells me the operation costs the equivalent of 600 times the daily income she makes from going fishing twice a day . " We talk all the time about the water getting saltier and the problems we are all suffering , " says Farida . " For my older sister , the prolapse has become malignant , which will lead to cancer . Access to clean , fresh water is limited and expensive , forcing many to seek other sources Credit : Simon Townsley " In a way I 'm fortunate because I have seen what has happened to her , so I can try to do something about it , but I do n't know where we will get the money . If it gets complicated it will cost even more . " " My children have all left , so there is just me and my husband , " acknowledges Farida , " We have just about enough to live on , but not enough for treatment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the muddy , weed-strewn beach after emerging from the river to inspect their paltry catch .

Ferida Begum back in the river six months after her hysterectomy Credit : Simon Townsley/The Telegraph The drudgery of a progressively more demoralising ritual becomes commensurately inescapable , and more physically damaging , with each passing day . Deflated by the paucity of fish , they walk back across sterile sands to their homes , with the ungainly rectangular nets draped awkwardly over their shoulders . Another fisherwoman , who shares a similar name , Ferida Begum , 50 , is now back wading in the river after having a hysterectomy operation six months ago . " It can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease , scarring of the ovary , and also miscarriage . It constricts the Fallopian Tube , which can cause problems with getting pregnant . " " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ easily become severe , " she adds . " This happens to many of the women who depend on fishing . " According to Dr Afsana , doctors in the coastal areas of Bangladesh are noticing the highest incidence of urinary tract infections in winter , when local people are consuming saltier water due to lack of rainfall . Women from the village of Jaymanirgol on the banks of the polluted Pashur River Credit : Simon Townsley/The Telegraph " The number of cases in this area is really worrying , " the doctor continues . " I am seeing more patients with these problems than before . All doctors in the region are experiencing this . It is affecting women of all ages , from puberty to those reaching the menopause . " Of course , this is difficult to measure , but there is no doubt these problems are coming up more regularly . " " They are drinking water which they should not be drinking , " says local health worker Khalilur Rahman . " I have been shocked that there are so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be getting hotter every year here , there will be less and less water that is safe to drink . " Most people in southern Bangladesh live in huts made of metal sheets and bamboo poles which are regularly swept away in floods or cyclones . They borrow money from loan sharks to buy materials when their shacks are washed away , so are trapped in a cycle of cyclone debt . Saving for medical treatment is therefore unrealistic . In the unregulated slum settlement of Banishanta , the occupants of huts perched on wooden stilts over tidal mudflats can point to where they used to live , now permanently absorbed by the river .

They worry that Urmi 's daughter Morium , four , will be next . Dudmeher has endured uterine prolapse and a kidney cyst , both of which she blames on salinity . Urmi , who has been up fishing at 4am every day since the age of ten , has also developed problems . " It started around five years ago , " says Dudmeher , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and became unbearable . They gave me medicines to help , but the doctor explained they would n't work if I kept going in the water .

" I feel like an old person , " regrets Urmi , whose husband left her because of the cost of paying for her medication . " It is so unfair . I wanted my relationship to work , but there was nothing I could do . Now people look at me as an abomination .

The processed water still contains a residue of salt , but unlike the river water this is within WHO safety guidelines . Fisherwomen spend many hours a day up to their waists in polluted water Credit : Simon Townsley " Rainwater will cover people for only a small proportion of the year , " says BRAC spokesman Ayan Soofi , " so the desalinisation plant gives them a back-up option .

The outlook is good , too , with a ' strong ' order book worth more than ? 400 million .

Gretton says JC Flowers will look to exit Telent ' at some stage ' . ' They assure me I 'm their best non-core asset -- I might be their only non-core asset , ' she says of her company . But she rules out a stock market listing ' given our size and scale ' . She also declines to comment on a recent Sky News report that said that Telent was up for sale with a price tag in excess of ? 300 million .

' If we 're not going to build new roads or railways , can we get more use out of what we already have ? ' she asks . To do that ' you 've got to have your network in place , whether that 's fixed or wireless , ' Gretton continues .

If it ca n't , it will create something for you but it wo n't necessarily tell you that 's what it has done , ' she says . Telent already uses AI algorithms to detect rockfall patterns that act as early warning systems for landslides on railway lines along the Jurassic Coast in Dorset , and in Scotland . As for the future , she sees AI gradually improving productivity by saving human labour . ' It could mean having more trains going through a particular piece of track more quickly , ' she predicts .

A woman who was about to enjoy a fish dinner with her family made a unappetising and somewhat horrifying discovery . Brazilian businesswoman Paula Moreira has found viral fame when she shared a video of her dinner - a large fish which had a set of human like choppers . Paula posted the video , which has been viewed more than 5.2million times , on her Instagram account , showing the freaking fish lying on the grill while her family were on holiday in southeastern Brazil . ? The mum filmed herself manipulating the fish 's mouth to flash the set of creepy teeth , exclaiming : " teeth like that ? Like dentures ? Look here ! " Would you want to eat this ? Paula the pulled down the fish 's lower lip , to display a full row of gnashers . " They look like human @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . ? Paula said the fish was one of three her family bought for $49 ( ? 40 ) on December 30 after they had gone to the beach with her grandmother . Everyone was in ignorant bliss that the fish was sporting some nifty choppers -- until they returned to their holiday rental and started preparing dinner . Paula opted out of seeing what the creature tasted like ? Paula said : " I wash shocked when I saw that fish . I thought it was so bizarre and funny at the same time . That 's why I took my phone and recorded that video and posted at my Instagram account . " Paula 's uncle seasoned the fisherman with garlic and salt before grilling it for 30 minutes , yet Paula skipped eating the toothy fish , staying it reminded her of a " human being " . She was too weirded out by the animal 's human-like teeth ? She said : " I did n't have courage to eat it . But my family ate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just like the others , and it is really good .

Former Gov . Andrew Cuomo speaks to reporters following a closed-door interview with the House Oversight and Accountability Subcommittee on Coronavirus Pandemic on Capitol Hill , on June 11 , 2024 in Washington , DC . Al Drago/Getty Images/File CNN -- At the end of September , former New York Gov . Andrew Cuomo quietly switched his voter registration address to an apartment on East 54th Street in Manhattan . It marked the first time he 'd lived in New York City -- officially -- in decades . By December , he was ramping up conversations with local political officials and a select group of influential community leaders , hinting at plans to run for mayor in the June primary . What if , Cuomo mused , Eric Adams -- who currently holds the job but is now facing an April trial date on federal corruption charges -- resigned or opted out of running for reelection ? He 's been telling donors and other influential political figures that if he gets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 've got to get behind him . Elected governor three times before resigning in 2021 amid sexual harassment allegations and fierce criticism over his handling of the Covid-19 pandemic , Cuomo is now privately describing his long-rumored and labored-over run for mayor as a near certainty , according to conversations with more than a dozen people in his orbit , with whom he has spoken recently but are not authorized to publicly discuss the deliberations . He is also lining up campaign aides and pollsters , in part with the help of a former top adviser who beat him out the door of the governor 's mansion more than three years ago after deciding she could no longer defend him against the flood of sexual misconduct accusations that ultimately forced him out of office . Talk of a Cuomo comeback dates back , quite literally , to the day he resigned three-and-a-half years ago , with supporters and opponents alike either convinced or anxious , or both , that a revival bid was " imminent . " He eyed another run for governor , which would have meant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he always kept at arm 's length and who , in 2022 , emerged as a politically weakened winner of a closer-than-expected gubernatorial election . The possibility of trying to oust her in 2026 is , as the February filing period for mayoral candidates approaches , one of the last things holding Cuomo back from jumping into the citywide stew . His ambitions were also fueled , in part , by his success in fending off lawsuits related to his alleged misconduct , which he denied before and after resigning , and a recent inspector general report suggesting then-President Donald Trump 's Justice Department , in 2020 , sought to undermine him in the press . But it was not until Adams ' indictment last September that -- as Cuomo himself might say -- a new reality emerged . The mayor 's approval ratings are at historic lows and , barring a stunning about-face by federal prosecutors , he is slated to spend a large chunk of the primary campaign in a Lower Manhattan courtroom , while the sense spreads that street crime is even more out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ promising he 'd fix it . A Cuomo spokesperson , Rich Azzopardi , chalked up anyone who has walked away from conversations with the former governor thinking that he 's definitely running to " a matter of perception . " Asked to explain those conversations , Azzopardi said , " A lot of people have come to him saying the city is in crisis and it needs to be fixed , and they think he 's the guy to do it because of his track record . " " He just has n't decided yet . It 's purely personal , it 's whether or not he wants to commit the time and the energy . He was 24-7 as governor . It 's a major commitment . It 's something he and his family are talking about , " Azzopardi added . He then texted a lengthy prepared statement touting the former governor 's record on issues that helped New Yorkers and brought money into infrastructure projects and noted Cuomo " will always be a Queens boy who loves New York , is deeply concerned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he can . " A defiant Adams on Thursday in his annual " state of the city " speech again insisted he has no plans to stepdown -- then described a city better off for his leadership . " Do n't listen to the noise , do n't listen to the rhetoric , " Adams said . " New York City , the state of our city is strong . " But another Queens native is also shaping the race : President-elect Trump . The two have not spoken , but Cuomo has carefully observed his trajectory . People who have spoken with Cuomo say he thinks voters could be convinced to welcome him back , too -- in the character of a tough guy who can set things right in a city wobbling with unease over public safety , an affordability crisis and post-pandemic trauma . Some around Cuomo think New Yorkers will also be looking for a tough guy to take on Trump , with aides floating the prospect of mass deportations targeted at Democratic cities . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who also counts Elon Musk as a client , and is already deep into a public relations campaign against federal prosecutors , whom he claims -- without evidence -- moved against him in retaliation for his criticism of President Joe Biden 's border policy .

The mayor 's allegations that he 's been targeted by a politicized Biden Justice Department rhyme with Trump 's own complaints about the handful of cases launched against him before he was reelected . Trump has expressed sympathy and support for Adams , who met with the president-elect 's incoming " border czar " in December to discuss how the city could potentially work with the administration on its mass deportation plan . For all the frustrations with migrants among city residents and the notably large shifts toward Trump across the city in November 's election , many New York political insiders @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ want at least a somewhat oppositional force . According to those who have spoken with him and his circle , Cuomo figures that even with large parts of the city shifting toward Trump -- or away from Democrats -- during the 2024 general election , he could win over affluent White liberals who want a pugilist in office to square up with Trump ( and try to keep their taxes down ) to supplement his base . His critics are skeptical . " The best person to defeat a corrupt New York mayor ca n't be a corrupt New York governor , " Rebecca Katz , a New York-based Democratic consultant who helped run actress Cynthia Nixon 's 2018 primary challenge to Cuomo , told CNN . It is also unclear where Cuomo would break from Trump on the issues most likely to dominate the coming campaign . The president-elect , though still personally unpopular in New York , has pushed for a crackdown on crime and is planning a mass deportation program that many advocates expect will focus on undocumented immigrants in big cities . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tends to be the case for an incumbent mayor . But Cuomo is much better known than any of the other candidates in the race , and he 's been milking that in corners where he wants to build support , with appearances at Black churches and reiterating staunch support for Israel .

Earlier this week , the mayor himself juiced speculation about Cuomo 's plans by taking direct aim at the former governor 's record in a rare -- at least since he was indicted and his administration began to unravel -- wide-ranging interview with Politico . " People who are running -- they 're going to have to take claim for the stuff that they did when they were holding office , " Adams said .

Sunday 0100 GMT , live on Sky Sports Saturday rounds off with a high-stakes clash between two AFC North rivals . The Ravens are heavily favoured against the Steelers , who head into the postseason on a disappointing four-game slide . Recent history points to Baltimore covering the 9.5-point spread , but there 's a few factors that make the prospect of backing a blowout a little dicey . Both teams are in desperation mode . If Pittsburgh lose , they end a once-promising season with five-straight defeats and the future of head coach Mike Tomlin -- a stalwart of the Steelers organisation -- may come into question . It was n't a given that he returned for this season , so further playoff disappointment could signal the end of the road . Make no mistake , there is not a single person on that Pittsburgh roster that wants to be tarred with the part-responsibility of Tomlin 's Hall of Fame run in the city coming to an end . As for Baltimore , the pressure cooker is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comfortably , but the Ravens have not handled playoff pressure well in recent season and , should they falter again , there 's even the possibility that John Harbaugh 's clock begins ticking rather loudly . With this in mind , let 's steer clear of the outright selections and check out the player props . One name immediately jumps off the page and , of course , it 's DERRICK HENRY . The King 's rushing yardage line is set at 99.5 and the numbers suggest we can confidently take the over . As match-ups go , Pittsburgh certainly are n't the easiest . The Steelers rank 6th in rushing yards allowed and in usual circumstances that would be enough for me to dismiss the chances of the opposing running back . However , Derrick Henry is n't just any running back . The future Hall of Famer has also faced the Broncos ( #3 in rushing yards allowed ) and the Buccaneers ( #4 ) this season and the results speak for themselves . On both occasions , Henry rushed for 100+ yards @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , averaging over 11 yards per carry in a dominant 169-yard performance . In Henry 's two regular season match-ups with the Steelers this season , he rushed for a combined 227 yards on 37 carries . He also snagged a touchdown in the first meeting , back in November . He averaged 6.1 yards per carry across those two games and a repeat performance would put Henry in prime position to hit three figures . Nineteen carries -- his seasonal average -- at that rate , would equate to over 115 yards . Let 's take the over . Sunday 1800 GMT , live on Sky Sports Of the six playoff games this weekend , there 's one particular spread that catches the eye . The BRONCOS are 8.5-point underdogs against the Buffalo Bills , and it just feels too big . Denver , with rookie quarterback Bo Nix at the helm , have been fantastic this season under head coach Sean Payton and if they were to upset the Bills on Sunday , there 'd @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . The Broncos did lose seven games during the regular season , but only once were they beaten by multiple scores . They have made a habit out of sticking in games until the bitter end and , often , they 've come away with victory . Buffalo obviously have a dominant offence , but Denver will provide a stern test . Across the regular season , the Broncos allowed just 18.3 points per game on average ( #3 in the NFL ) . They are also one of only seven teams to have allowed fewer than 100 rushing yards per game ( 96.4 ) and they recorded 15 interceptions over the course of the season , thanks to an impressive secondary unit led by the mercurial cornerback Patrick Surtain II . Josh Allen and the Bills are firmly expected to take their place in the Divisional Round by many , but they 'll have to work for it . If Denver have their way , points could be at a premium , but even if Allen turns his MVP-level class into a barrage of early @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ keep Buffalo from running away with it . They 've averaged a mammoth 32.2 points per game in their last five , while facing some strong AFC opposition in the Los Angeles Chargers and a desperate Cincinnati Bengals . Strap in for a game that could easily turn out to be the highlight of Wild Card Round . Saturday 2130 GMT , live on Sky Sports The postseason gets under way on Saturday , with the AFC Wild Card Round initially taking centre stage . As has become custom when they reach the playoffs , the Texans are once again in their Saturday evening slot and this time , it 's the LA CHARGERS coming to town . Los Angeles are favoured by three points and -- while they 're the visitors -- it 's easy to see why the bookmakers have made that assessment . The turnaround he has masterminded in his first season back in the NFL has been remarkable , adding six victories to the Chargers ' 2023 regular season total . Stiffening @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ key to any success they enjoyed this season and Harbaugh has managed that particular feat in the most extraordinary way . A year ago , Los Angeles ended the regular season having allowed 23.4 points per game . Through 17 regular season games this season , LA have allowed just 17.7 points per game , fewer than anyone else in the NFL . Offensively , their uplift in performance has also been significant , with the 2024 Chargers scoring 3.2 points per game more than last season . All told , LA under the Harbaugh regime are almost nine points per game better off and , crucially , they head into the playoffs with some momentum . While Houston have suffered a couple of beatings of late , admittedly at the hands of the Chiefs and Ravens , the Chargers have won three-straight and confidence is high . The fact they have to travel to NRG Stadium for this match-up also should n't faze the Chargers . They 've won six games on the road already this season and they 've avoided the last-minute rescheduling problems @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ planned for Los Angeles . The Rams , for context , have n't had that luxury . Their ' home ' game this weekend will now be played in Arizona , due to the impact of the horrific wildfires in California this past week . Plus , NRG Stadium will bring some welcome memories to the Chargers ' head coach . 367 days ago , it was the scene of Michigan 's National Championship victory , the crowning glory of Harbaugh 's college coaching career and his swansong before making his long-awaited return to the NFL . Defensively , the Chargers can at least match the level of the Texans and , on the offensive side of the ball , LA have the edge in the key position . C.J. Stroud has proven to be a quality pick-up by Houston and the 2023 first-round draft pick is every bit a franchise quarterback . But , his sophomore season has n't been quite as flashy as his rookie year and although his numbers are still more than acceptable at this level , it 's fair to say @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Justin Herbert has outranked Stroud in every key category during the regular season , with a pass completion percentage of 65.9% ( Stroud completed 63.2% ) , 23 passing touchdowns ( 20 ) and just four interceptions all season long . Stroud , on the other hand , threw 12 picks and that 's a trait that could make all the difference on Saturday evening . The Chargers are ranked in the top 10 for defensive interceptions and if they can turn the ball over in Houston , one extra possession may well push them over the edge and into the Divisional Round .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It involves the phrase 'forced out of Downing Street', where 'Downing Street' is a location, not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no causee participating in an event described by a VP[-ing] predicate, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The Conservatives should take a donation from Elon Musk if he wanted to make one , a shadow Cabinet member has said . The shadow Housing Secretary , Kevin Hollinrake , did not rule out the Tories accepting a donation from Musk amid reports that he was interested in destabilising Sir Keir Starmer and removing him from office before the general election . Asked whether the Tories would be interested in accepting a donation from Musk , Hollinrake told The i Paper : " Well , as I 've said before , donations are welcome as long they are properly made and by the right people and they comply with the rules . " He went on : " We 're keen to get support from all quarters , but primarily from British voters and anybody who wants to support us to that end , then all well and good . " It comes amid the row over an inquiry into grooming gangs following a series of posts by the owner of X which Starmer has dismissed as " lies and misinformation " . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is concerned about what Musk is posting online . This included one post in which he commended her " brave and true " claim that Starmer was blocking a national inquiry into the gangs because he " did not want questions asked of Labour politicians who may be complicit " . She has also become one of the few British MPs he follows on X. At the same time , Musk has appeared to cool on Reform UK leader Nigel Farage , posting on X last weekend that Reform " needs a new leader " and " Farage does n't have what it takes " . The barb raised doubts about whether Musk would go ahead with a large donation which he was understood to be considering handing Reform . Despite this , the Financial Times reported on Thursday that Musk had discussed with allies how Starmer could be forced out of Downing Street before the next election . As a US citizen , Musk can not make personal political donations in the UK , but a donation could be made within the rules through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be worth Badenoch 's Tories forging a relationship with Musk and listening to his thoughts on British politics , Hollinrake said : " Listen , I think what Kemi will do is she 'll do the right thing . " If people then want to follow her -- you ca n't choose to be a leader , you can only be somebody people choose to follow -- if Elon Musk thinks Kemi is the right person to lead this country and he uses the platform he has to say that , well , all well and good . " He added : " But I think one thing you 'd say about recent days where he 's seemingly fallen out of love with Nigel Farage , is that kind of support can be very short-lived and the position can be pretty volatile . So I do n't think it 's something you can win an election on the back of . " Hollinrake praised Musk as an " incredibly successful business person and an incredible intellect " , but added : " The support we want is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of them , so that 's what the focus will be . " Asked on Thursday whether Musk 's threat to overthrow Starmer is foreign interference and what the Government should do about it , Foreign Secretary David Lammy said : " I think that Keir Starmer was exactly right earlier in the week when he of course acknowledged the right to free speech , and there is a debate across the world about free speech and Elon Musk is at one end of that debate . " My own view is you ca n't have free speech if it 's not based on a fact , a truth and I 've had real concerns about some of what I 've seen online particularly . " The Foreign Secretary also said the UK had not discussed Musk in its informal talks with the incoming Trump administration as he will have a domestic-facing role leading Trump 's Department of Government Efficiency -- or " Doge " -- a taskforce aimed at cutting federal government waste . Among Tory politicians , views about whether the party should have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Warning against it , a former Cabinet minister said : " He knows nothing about the issues and clearly every time he tweets his ignorance is revealed . That does worry me , that somehow he is influencing how the party responds . " An MP on the right of the party said : " I think if we get into a politics where everything is geared to trying to impress one very volatile guy -- who admittedly does have a lot of power and influence in terms of reach through X -- that 's a hiding to nothing because just as Reform have found out , he can be your best mate one day and then bite really hard the next day for no apparent reason . " Another Tory MP said : " He 's a very successful business who 's created a lot of wealth and innovation . His clumsy musings on British politics are those of a businessman , not of a full-time politician . That 's up to him , is n't it ? He 's a free citizen . " I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ think it 's silly to ignore him completely . " Badenoch has described herself as a " huge fan of Elon Musk " . In September , she said he had been a " fantastic thing for freedom speech " . In December , she told a podcast that she was interested in Doge . She said : " I 'm someone who has been writing endlessly about how we are becoming more bureaucratic as a country , rather than entrepreneurial . " I 've written papers , I 've given speeches on this , and Doge is basically what I have been talking about . " |

An annuity is a type of retirement product you purchase with the money from your pension pot . It pays you a guaranteed income for life . Fresh data from Hargreaves Lansdown shows a 65-year-old with a ? 100,000 pension could now receive an annual income of up to ? 7,425 . That is a notable increase from the ? 7,235 offered just a week ago , and a substantial 48% jump from three years ago . This rise in annuity rates is bucking the trend seen in previous years , where falling interest rates and gilt yields were expected to drag down annuity incomes . While this presents a valuable opportunity for retirees to secure a higher guaranteed income , financial advisers urge caution . Shopping around and comparing rates from different providers is crucial . Sarah Coles , head of personal finance at Hargreaves Lansdown , added : " Once bought , an annuity can not be unwound and different providers offer different rates . " If you take the first quote offered without checking the rest of the market @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Using an annuity search engine can help you check the market quickly and easily before you make a decision . " You also do n't need to annuitise all your pensions at the same time if this does n't work for you . " You can take a flexible approach and annuitise in stages throughout your retirement as your needs evolve . " The UK gilt market sell-off is creating a ripple effect in the mortgage market , potentially pushing up borrowing costs for homeowners . " Add in the fact that Trump 's inauguration is now just over one week away and the negative economic effect his tariff plans could have on both the UK and Eurozone economies could see the Pound trade at $1.15 or lower against the greenback .

This can often take the pain out of having to buy currency ahead of time and rely on cash . Your bank will automatically convert your transactions to the correct currency with the live exchange rate so ensure that you always pay in the local currency . Chase , First Direct and Starling all offer fee-free spending when yous use their debit cards abroad . Those without this capability could choose to link their bank account with Currensea 's Mastercard debit card via open banking . Then when you spend or withdraw on the Currensea card , it charges your linked current account in pounds ( via direct debit ) , avoiding the non-sterling transaction fees and ATM fees that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ credit cards allow you to spend money abroad without being hit by any fees or hidden charges . But , they may still charge you for taking cash out . We recommend the Barclaycard Rewards Visa because it does n't charge for using it abroad , and there are no fees for withdrawing cash if you pay off your bill in full each month . You must always pay off your balance before the end of the month with these cards to ensure that any money you save is n't wiped away by paying interest . Prepaid card An alternative to carrying cash or your debit card around is to get a pre-paid card . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'locked out of housing altogether' involves an NP ('housing') as a complement of the complex preposition 'out of', and it does not introduce a VP[-ing] predicate.

A notorious fox hunt has been accused of rampaging through the Scots countryside terrorising foxes with a pack of hounds - despite a landmark ban on the blood sport . It 's claimed huntsmen pursued foxes in the Houston area of Renfrewshire last Saturday under cover of an official NatureScot fox control licence . Campaigners said the incident " made an absolute mockery " of Scotland 's new , supposedly watertight ban on fox hunting that came into effect in October 2023 . Activist group the Glasgow Hunt Saboteurs captured footage of what they claimed were " multiple hunting offences " carried out by members of the Lauderdale Hunt - including a pack of dogs chasing a terrified fox over open countryside . Controversially , the new legislation allows for fox control licences to use packs of dogs in " last resort " circumstances such as to protect livestock , but strict animal cruelty guidelines must be followed . However , critics have long warned this could be yet another loophole for huntsmen to exploit - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Foxhounds are led through countryside in the video posted by the Glasgow Hunt Saboteurs The Record exclusively revealed last year how more than 40 licences had been issued in the first six months of the new ban - but just two of these were monitored for compliance by NatureScot . Some three quarters of these licences were for packs of dogs of 20 or more . We also told how the infamous Lauderdale Hunt , based in the Scottish Borders , had obtained a licence . Now , we can reveal members of the Lauderdale travelled some 100 miles last weekend to Houston , Renfrewshire - formerly the stomping ground of the notorious Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire Foxhounds hunt which folded last year . Images from Glasgow Hunt Sabs show a fox running for its life into woods , chased seconds later by a pack of hounds . The group claimed no shooters were in position to dispatch foxes once they were flushed out of hiding , as is required under legislation . And huntsmen refused to call hounds back once they hared off after the fox , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Video taken by activists shows a fox running Footage taken by activists shows dogs running Glasgow Hunt Sabs say they do n't know the fate of the fox , and also claim the hunt later moved into three other woods . In a statement , the group said : " We were in total shock to see the hunt go into the first wood with no shooters in position and start hunting . We know under licence that strict conditions need to be adhered to . " To us , this was making an absolute mockery of the Hunting with Dogs ( Scotland ) Act 2023 . But when these hunts are n't being monitored by NatureScot , then why would n't they do what they really want to do - chase foxes ? " In fact , when NatureScot do bother to monitor these hunts , they are given prior notice . It 's a joke . NatureScot say that these licences must only be given out in exceptional circumstances when all other avenues of fox control ( ie : putting up fences ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ instance a huntswoman travelled almost 100 miles to a new area and moved between multiple woods over a vast area . Were all of those woods marked on the licence ? " They added : " The simple fact is , we are the only people monitoring these hunts and they are acting just like they did before . " Police Scotland and NatureScot have been made aware of the incident . Anti-blood sports groups suggested those involved should face prosecution and have their licence revoked . Robbie Marsland , Director of Scotland and Northern Ireland for the League Against Cruel Sports , said : " This footage appears to show a pack of foxhounds chasing a fox .

The sentence 'The cap on resales should be set as low as possible, for example face value plus 5% or 10%, to take the incentive out of scalping.' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. Here, 'the cap on resales' (NP subject) + 'take' (V1) + 'the incentive' (NP object) + 'out of scalping' (VP2[-ing] predicate). It also induces a prevention interpretation, meaning that setting a low cap on resales prevents the incentive for scalping. The verb 'take' in this context implies a means to achieve a goal, aligning with the construction's properties.

Creative industries minister Sir Chris Bryant quoted lyrics from Charli xcx 's single 360 , when he told the Commons high resale prices for her tour were enough to " shock you like defibrillators " . He said he had seen tickets originally priced at ? 54 go for as much as ? 400 . Sir Chris added that in addition to a new uplift cap on resale tickets -- in the region between 0% and 30% -- which the Government is consulting on , it will also look at dynamic or surge pricing . A system of licences for resale platforms might also feature among the final plans . " It 's not a consultation on whether to act , it 's a consultation on precisely how we should act , " the minister said . Mr Bhatti , a Conservative shadow culture minister , told MPs : " We will consider carefully any proposals that could strengthen , improve or simplify the market for fans , but I also warn him , we will oppose regulation when it is just introduced for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ secondary ticket resale market plays an important role for artists , fans and venues . " It can provide a safer way to transfer unwanted tickets , ensuring that seats are not left empty at venues . UK ban on ticket resale profiteering will be great news for fans . The permitted cap on ticket resale prices should be no more than 10% above the original price -- ideally 0% as it is in Ireland . PH @fanfairalliancehttps : //t.co/KrytZnsbF1 " The minister claims in his consultation that his reforms will better protect fans , improve access to live events and support the creative sectors . " He claims that these proposals will give power back to fans and prevent them from being fleeced by ticket touts , however , we know that this is n't true . " We know that Labour 's plans will harm artists , they will harm fans , and they will harm venues and make those live events even harder to attend . " Mr Bhatti quoted Matthew Sinclair , of the Computer and Communications Industry Association , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ secondary market , will only mean more tickets changing hands in informal settings without the same protections that exist in proper marketplaces " . On ticket pricing , he said : " We know that this will lead to an upsurge in black market activity and more money flowing into the pockets of ticket touts . " Mr Bhatti said the Government risked " the prevention of spontaneous ticket purchases " and claimed resale restrictions led to empty seats at the Paris 2024 Olympics . Sir Chris replied that the challenge was to address situations where tickets sell out within 20 minutes but appear on the resale market at inflated prices 21 minutes after the original release . Coldplay backed the price cap proposals on Friday in a post on X , formerly Twitter , which read : " The permitted cap on ticket resale prices should be no more than 10% above the original price -- ideally 0% as it is in Ireland . " We have a world-leading live events sector in the UK , but we do n't have a secondary ticket @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it 's a rip off , such a rip offSir Chris Bryant " In the past , it was spivs in long raincoats at the gates . Nowadays , it 's a trade made all the more pernicious by the internet , which enables modern-day touts hiding behind multiple false identities to hoover up tickets and sell them at vastly inflated prices . " Sharon Hodgson , the Labour MP for Washington and Gateshead South and chair of the APPG ( All-party Parliamentary Group ) on Ticket Abuse , said : " The cap on resales should be set as low as possible , for example face value plus 5% or 10% , to take the incentive out of scalping . " She added legislation should be " supranational " to combat overseas operators , which Sir Chris would be difficult to achieve for live events held overseas . On dynamic pricing , Sir Chris earlier told MPs that " the key thing is that fans are treated openly and fairly with timely , transparent and accurate information being presented ahead of sales " . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " absolutely fine and we have no intention to stop it " . The minister described new pricing strategies as being part of " the Oasis moment " before turning back to the resale market , when he said : " We have a world-leading live events sector in the UK , but we do n't have a secondary ticket market to match . |

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('manipulate her out of being able to secure any recourse'). It involves a prevention interpretation, where the subject (Tony Buzbee) prevents the object (her) from securing recourse by means of manipulation, which fits the classification of verbs that appear in the V1 slot (by means of deception or trickery). The NP object 'her' functions as a causee, and the sentence allows for a prevention interpretation, making it an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

MPs have voted for a new , one-month cap on advanced rent payments in England as the Renters ' Rights Bill edges closer to becoming law . Housing minister Matthew Pennycook confirmed the addition of a clause to stop landlords making upfront charges in the Commons on Tuesday . Landlord groups have warned the move could leave property owners open to risk if tenants have no other way of proving their ability to pay rent on an ongoing basis . And Independent MP Jeremy Corbyn warned some tenants were being evicted before the package of protections in the Bill , which includes a ban on " no-fault " evictions , can come into effect as expected this summer . Setting out the details of the cap in the Commons , Pennycook said the government wanted to stop demands for " large rent-in-advance payments " , which he said could sometimes amount to 12 months of rent . Tenants who were " perfectly able to afford the monthly rent " were being asked to give landlords @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , or " risk being locked out of renting altogether " .

Shadow housing minister David Simmonds said the bill had " many shortcomings " and would create " concerns around the availability , and the affordability of accommodation in the private rented sector " . A coalition of groups representing landlords and letting agents claimed the cap on upfront payments could leave tenants unable to prove their ability to cover their rent . The groups , including the National Residential Landlords Association ( NRLA ) , said : " Cutting off any assurance landlords might seek when renting to those who can not easily prove their ability to afford a tenancy is neither practical nor responsible .

When I was 14 I started frequenting the local Oxfam shop in Horwich , a small satellite town of Bolton . Jim Carroll 's The Basketball Diaries was my first purchase for 49p . It was the most extraordinary thing I had read . The shelves were stuffed with authors like Kerouac and Bukowski -- I would go every fortnight and stock up . As a teenager who struggled with what it was to be feminine , I felt I had more in common with American beat writers than the British female tradition of Austen and the Bront ? s . Were n't these about attractive high-society women looking for suitors ? How would this speak to me as a working-class person ? Then I read Wuthering Heights and it blew my mind and my perceptions .

And our own policing on social media . It was written in the Seventies and went a bit off the radar , but it 's gone back into reprint . I think everybody should read it . A book I put to one side but will hopefully go back to is Supplication by Nour Abi-Nakhoul . No judgment on the book -- it 's wonderful .

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('Londoners') + V1 ('are now often being priced') + NP object ('out of buying "trophy homes" in Kent'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the action of being priced out prevents Londoners from buying trophy homes. The verb 'priced' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure', fitting one of the verb classifications for this construction. The NP object 'Londoners' functions as a causee who is prevented from participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'buying "trophy homes" in Kent'.

Five Kent seaside towns have been hit by a house price slump as Londoners are " cooling " on the idea of relocating to the coast . A higher percentage of homes in Broadstairs , Herne Bay , Westgate-on-Sea , Deal and Birchington fell in value last year than anywhere else in the country . In Broadstairs last year , 89% of homes fell in price - a higher proportion than in any other UK town . Picture : iStock Thousands have been wiped off property prices , with experts blaming a decline in DFLs ( people moving down from London ) , more people returning to work in offices - and the fact council tax for second homes is set to double from April . Tom Ross-Bason , business development partner at Wards estate agents , told KentOnline : " Following an increase in DFLs after Covid , we are now seeing a cooling of that trend . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a significant impact , with the number of house sales declining nationally . But Mr Ross-Bason said : " Demand overall remains consistent , with buyer registrations at the same levels as this time last year . " Some of the biggest house price drops have been in Thanet , which is Kent 's second home hotspot with almost 2,000 such properties . KentOnline revealed last year how the council tax bill for the owner of a second home which is a Band D property in the district is set to double to ? 4,604 , following new legislation from the government enabling local authorities to hike the charges . Tom Ross-Bason , business development partner at Wards estate agents New research from Zoopla shows how almost nine in 10 homes ( 89% ) in Broadstairs declined in value last year . On average , ? 15,300 was slashed off property prices in the town . Meanwhile , in nearby Westgate-on-Sea , 87% of homes fell in value , by an average of ? 17,900 - while for Birchington , just over a mile further @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? 24,600 . Seaside towns in neighbouring districts saw similar price drops . In Herne Bay , 88% of properties decreased in value , by an average of ? 16,300 . In Deal , 85% of homes saw price drops , by an average of ? 11,700 . The proportion of house prices rising and falling in Kent towns in 2024 , according to Zoopla But KentOnline recently reported how the percentage of Kent homes being snapped up by people from the capital is now at its lowest point for five years . It comes after the Covid pandemic - and the subsequent increase in working from home - sparked a boom in the county 's property prices . Land Registry figures show the average value of Kent homes increased 20% from ? 291,909 in February 2020 to ? 350,090 now . A detached house in the county now costs ? 588,474 on average . Experts say this means Londoners are now often being priced out of buying " trophy homes " in Kent - instead , they are having to stay put @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Half of the UK 's 30 million homes increased in value in the past year , with prices rocketing in the north while southern and eastern regions saw more prices deflate than inflate . A table shows how much each council in Kent expects to make from the higher council tax rates A Zoopla spokesperson said : " Coastal towns in Kent and East Sussex were least likely to register price gains in 2024 , with many towns seeing less than 10% of homes increase in value and more than three-quarters of homes registering small price falls . " This is due to the fading of the pandemic boom and the subsequent search for additional space as more workers return to the office . " An additional factor is the increase in second homeowners selling in the face of a doubling in council tax from April , which is impacting pricing across many coastal towns . " The data -- which comes from Zoopla 's own property valuation system -- did not include dwellings where the value decreased by less than 1%. |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'got a lot out of going there every week', where 'a lot' is an NP object that does not function as a causee, and there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The construction does not match the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction as described.

A Hull man with cerebral palsy has set up a comedy night in the city to give back to the people who have helped him during his life . Karl Dean was the victim of a cruel thug who tipped him out of his wheelchair on his way home from the pub , leaving him bloodied and dazed , during the summer of 2020 . The incident did not prevent Karl from going out and about once he had recovered -- and he recalls the fundraising that went on for him after the assault . Karl said : " I remember people fundraising for Kingston Disabled Scouts when I was a young lad -- I got a lot out of going there every week , we met up to learn things like cooking , reading maps , knots , and playing games , and we also we went on day trips , and camping holidays . I loved going camping with the Scouts . " I also remember a lot of people did fundraising for me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to set up a charity night to give back .

The sentence 'Kim Zolciak told an officer who reported to the scene that Biermann was trying to block me out of everything' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Here, 'Biermann' is the NP subject, 'block' is V1, 'me' is the NP object, and 'everything' can be interpreted as a VP2[-ing] predicate contextually implying 'participating in everything'. This gives a prevention interpretation, where Biermann is preventing Kim from participating in everything. The verb 'block' fits the category of exerting force or pressure. The NP object 'me' is a causee, and the interpretation aligns with the prevention type. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'taking the stress out of needing to have spares for every eventuality' does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a general reduction of stress without the specific causal relationships required by the construction.

" Traditionally , ( for pro riders ) these camps may have been periods of much greater training load , but more recently they are becoming more race specific . They are great times to work on specific race tactics , nutritional interventions , physiological testing and recovery strategies , Explains Head of Sports Science at Holohan Coaching , Harrison Hunter . " For amateur cyclists , training camps are typically periods of time where they can forget about other life commitments @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ These periods will often be much higher volume than they are used to as they 're generally able to cope with the extra demands in acute stages , if followed by appropriate rest and recovery days on return , " he says .

Whilst it 's nice if you can ride together at a similar level , it 's not a decisive factor in pre-camp planning . Pro riders wo n't need to work hard to plan their training or off-bike wardrobe ( Image credit : Getty Images ) You might spend weeks preparing your things for your trip away .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'taking the stress out of needing to have spares for every eventuality' does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a general reduction of stress without the specific causal relationships required by the construction.

It 's training camp season . Maybe you 're gearing up for your annual trip with cycling buddies , going to explore somewhere new by bike , or planning a specific training week to hit those early season races and sportives flying . Pro riders are also setting off on their pre-season training camps , too . Will their experience be completely different to your own ? Probably . But , some elements of what the pros do differently , and , what 's exactly the same , may surprise you . Amateurs will be footing the bill for their own accommodation ( Image credit : Getty Images ) For many amateur cyclists a cycling trip or camp abroad often requires a lot of pre-planning , and unfortunately comes with a price tag . Flights , accommodation and bike hire or luggage costs all quickly add up meaning that many have to be savvy with bookings and picking the right time to go . For the pros , it 's a completely different story . Obviously , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the riders do n't get to choose the location or the timing of the camp , everything from the second they leave their house is usually fully subsidised . If only all work trips included riding your bike in the sun for six hours a day . The pro camps have become much more race specific in recent years ( Image credit : Getty Images ) It 's no surprise that the average amateur will have very different goals to the pros - but the training undertaken for the latter group has changed in recent years . " Traditionally , ( for pro riders ) these camps may have been periods of much greater training load , but more recently they are becoming more race specific . They are great times to work on specific race tactics , nutritional interventions , physiological testing and recovery strategies , Explains Head of Sports Science at Holohan Coaching , Harrison Hunter . " For amateur cyclists , training camps are typically periods of time where they can forget about other life commitments @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ These periods will often be much higher volume than they are used to as they 're generally able to cope with the extra demands in acute stages , if followed by appropriate rest and recovery days on return , " he says . This dedicated time can yield excellent results for amateurs , " if a rider is used to slogging away in an evening or early morning before work , having the luxury of increased sleep and recovery , as well as some warmer weather can be the difference , " notes Hunter .

Whilst it 's nice if you can ride together at a similar level , it 's not a decisive factor in pre-camp planning . Pro riders wo n't need to work hard to plan their training or off-bike wardrobe ( Image credit : Getty Images ) You might spend weeks preparing your things for your trip away .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'this developer' is the NP subject, 'squirm' is the V1, 'their way' is the NP object (which is a possessive way NP object coreferential with the subject), and 'doing what they should have done in the first place' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. The interpretation is prevention, as the developer is being prevented from avoiding their responsibilities. This fits the atypical type of NP object as described in the sixth property.

A high-rise development in the centre of Exeter which was to have featured dozens of affordable homes aimed at key workers will now include none at all . Developers working on the ' ghost town ' boarded-up Harlequins shopping centre wo n't have to provide the affordable homes they pledged when planning permission was granted three years ago . Instead they will hand Exeter City Council millions of pounds to build affordable homes somewhere else . The city 's planning committee heard that an independent valuer had deemed that the project would not be viable for the developer if it had to provide affordable homes . And councillors were also told that if they did n't agree to the change in arrangements , the ' co-living ' development would not go ahead at all . The committee agreed it had little choice but to agree to the change , but Cllr Anne Jobson ( Con , St Loyes ) said the council was being ' held hostage ' by Guernsey-based developer Curlew Alternatives Property . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as student living in due course , and Exeter wo n't see any benefit from it , " she said .

" The shopping centre has been branded a ' ghost town ' since its businesses closed down . It first opened in 1987 and was intended to be an American-style ' mall ' of 32 shops with a pedestrian bridge to the Guildhall shopping centre next door . But developer Curlew bought it in 2018 and announced plans to turn it into co-living accommodation and a hotel instead . After the hotel plans were abandoned , permission was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ down and replaced with two blocks of flats and studios . The blocks would be six and seven storeys , and would have a total of 378 rooms . Permission was given on the basis that 20 per cent of the homes -- around 75 of them -- would be affordable units for private rent , but now Curlew has come back to the council to say the scheme is not viable to deliver on that basis . Now , instead of building the affordable homes on the Harlequin site , Curlew will give the council up to ? 7.5 million to spend on building them elsewhere . It will pay ? 1 million when demolition begins , another ? 1 million when building starts and the rest later . Cllr Diana Moore ( Green , St Davids ) said the development , which had been the first approved for co-living in the city , had been a ' disaster ' for Exeter .

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

The Senate held another flurry of confirmation hearings for Donald Trump 's Cabinet nominees on Thursday with four days until his inauguration , and after Pam Bondi 's fiery performance . Treasury Secretary pick Scott Bessent , Lee Zeldin , the president-elect 's choice to run the Environmental Protection Agency , and North Dakota Gov . Doug Burgum who 'll run the Interior Department took questions on Capitol Hill as they look to secure their spots in the incoming administration . Bessent was grilled after Trump proposed a new financial agency , the ' External Revenue Service , ' which will collect tariff income . He issued an ominous warning to Americans about their taxes and also confirmed he 's against raising the national minimum wage . Follow all the action at DailyMail.com 's live blog 16:22 Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee praised him for his humble start and experience . Many signaled their support for his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump 's more likely nominees to quickly get through confirmation process successfully . While Democrats pressed him on tax policy and slammed Trump for a series of proposals including tariffs and tax cuts for the wealthy , the hearing with Bessent remained cordial as he met with mutliple members of both parties privately since being named Trump 's nominee . For months since Donald Trump revealed Rubio was his selection to lead the State Department there had been an open question as to who would be thrust into the vacating role . Early speculation indicated that the president-elect 's daughter-in-law Lara Trump , who recently co-chaired the Republican National Committee during the party 's successful presidential cycle . That was until she announced she was no longer seeking the Senate seat just before Christmas . DeSantis , who ran against the 78-year-old incoming president for a time , opted to choose a high-ranking Florida official who he has worked with for years instead . Florida Attorney General Ashely Moody , 49 , who was first elected to the position in 2019 , will fill @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Thursday . ' She has stood strong , time and time again , ' DeSantis said of the AG , before noting her litigation record . The Florida governor noted how Moody ' took on Jack Smith for his politically motivated persecution of the former president ' and how she ' fought back against the rogue Attorney General of New York for her politicizing justice . ' Sarah Ewall-Wice , Senior U.S. Political Reporter : Senator Bernie Sanders ( I-VT ) asked Trump 's nominee for Treasury Secretary if he agrees with President Biden that an oligarchy is taking shape in America . It comes after the outgoing Democratic president delivered a warning during his farewell address Wednesday night . ' Today , an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth , power , and influence that really threatens our entire democracy , our basic rights and freedom , and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead , ' Biden said . ' I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hearing . ' Do you ? ' he asked Bessent . But Trump 's treasury secretary nominee sidestepped giving an answer . He pointed out that the tech billionaires Sanders mentioned in his question like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos , made their money themselves . Sanders said that was not his question . ' What Biden said last night is we 're moving toward an oligarchy . I 'm asking you that question . Do you think -- forget how they made their money -- do you think that when so few people have so much wealth and so much economic and political power , that that is an oligarchy form of society ? ' Sanders asked . ' Well I would note that the President Biden gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to two people who I think would qualify for his oligarchs , ' Bessent said . Sanders said it was ' not a condemnation of any one individual ' but whether he thinks when few people have so much wealth and power if it is an oligarchic form of society @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ability to move up and down the income , ' Bessent said before he was cut off . ' No that 's not really the answer , ' Sanders shot back before moving on to another question . 17:28 Sarah Ewall-Wice , Senior U.S. Political Reporter : In response to Senator Bernie Sanders ( I-VT ) , Bessent said he does not support raising the federal minimum wage . The current federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour . ' I believe that the minimum wage is more of a statewide and regional issue , ' Bessent said . 17:20 Sarah Ewall-Wice , Senior U.S. Political Reporter : Senator Catherine Cortez Masto ( D-NV ) asked Trump 's treasury secretary pick if he still believes the Federal Reserve should be independent of the president . ' Of course , ' Bessent responded . He said Trump will ' make his views known @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well . ' I think on monetary policy decisions , the FOMC should be independent , ' Bessent said . It comes as the Federal Reserve weights interest rate cuts after raising rates in its effort to combat inflation . Trump vowed during the campaign that he would bring down interest rates , but the president has no direct control over rates set by the Federal Reserve . 17:07 Sarah Ewall-Wice , Senior U.S. Political Reporter : Senator Maggie Hassan ( D-N.H. ) asked Bessent if there are any Trump policies he believes will increase prices . ' Nothing I can immediately think of , ' Bessent responded . She followed up that if Trump does propose policies Bessent does believe will increase prices for families , if he would advise against it . " I would speak to President Trump about it . It is his decision , ' Bessent said . He said he would not answer ' yes or no ' to a hypothetical . Earlier @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ call for tariffs as Democrats raise concerns the burden will fall on American consumers . 16:46 The second day of Pam Bondi 's confirmation hearings begins with the committee 's chairman praising the nominee . ' Yesterday 's testimony showed that Ms. Bondi is certainly experienced and capable to serve as our nation 's chief law enforcement officer at this critical time . She is very well qualified for the position , ' chair Chuck Grassley , 91 , remarked . He also introduced the three witnesses who were invited to testify to Bondi 's character and professionalism . All the witnesses were from Florida and included a longtime prosecutor , a sheriff and a state attorney . 16:04 Scott Bessent introduces his spouse John Freeman @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hill as well as his two children Cole and Caroline who are both in attendance . During his opening statement , Bessent called for extending provisions of the 2017 tax law passed during Trump 's first term . ' I firmly believe that if confirmed and with your counsel and support , we can usher in a . New , more balanced era of prosperity that will lift up all Americans and rebuild communities and families across the country , ' Bessent said . 15:50 Sarah Ewall-Wice , Senior U.S. Political Reporter : Democratic Senator Ron Wyden slams Trump 's pick for Treasury Secretary right out of the gate for not paying into Medicare . ' The taxes that fund Medicare are automatic for the vast majority of Americans , straight out of every paycheck . It 's a civic duty that pays off as earned benefits down the road , ' Wyden said in his opening statement at Bessent 's confirmation hearing . ' But like a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ use of a tricky legal maneuver to opt out of paying into Medicare . It 's a tax loophole that hurts Medicare but benefits Mr. Bessent to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars each year , ' Wyden said . Wyden pointed out that the Treasury Department has argued in court that taxpayers taking this position are violating tax law . ' It 's an awfully big conflict of interest if Mr. Bessent is confirmed , ' the senator said . 15:36 15:36 President-elect Trump 's pick to lead the Treasury Department has arrived on Capitol Hill for his Senate confirmation hearing .

' We must ensure we are protecting our environment , while also protecting our economy , ' the former New York congressman continued . Zeldin said that a large part of his EPA tenure would be about collaborating with the private sector . The American people elected President Trump last November in part due to serious concerns about upward economic mobility and their struggle to make ends meet .

Rubio warned it is a legitimate issue that needs to be addressed .

The BBC has tough questions to answer about why your and my money is being spent promoting music that glorifies violence Julia Hartley-Brewer Published : 22:00 , 16 Jan 2025 Updated : 22:32 , 16 Jan 2025 Julia Hartley-Brewer Published : Invalid Date , HAS the BBC completely lost its ? marbles ? I ask because our esteemed national broadcaster , paid for by you and me , seems to have a bad dose of moral schizophrenia . One minute , the BBC is obsessed with " hurty words " , racing to remove people from their airwaves for the slightest infraction when it comes to views they do n't like , on everything from race or trans rights to Israel and climate change . 4 Jake Fahri served a life sentence for the unprovoked murder of 16-year-old schoolboy Jimmy Mizen Now 35 , Fahri was released from his life sentence in 2023 when he embarked on a career as a drill rapper . His lyrics , like most of this musical genre @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ appear to contain multiple references to Jimmy 's murder , with lines such as " Stuck it on a man and watched him melt like Ben and Jerry 's " and " Sharpen up my blade , I 've got to keep those necessary . " So here we are , forced to pay our licence fee for a BBC that refuses to allow anyone they disagree with on air while a killer is welcomed with open arms . Anyone who questions the Beeb 's climate change hysteria soon finds themselves banished , while Graham Linehan , creator of Father Ted , lost all his work for ? refusing to pretend that " trans women " are women ( which they are not ) . They took down 315 drill videos from YouTube in just one year over fears they could incite more stabbings . Meanwhile , drill and rap tracks were linked to 252 defendants over three years for offences including gang killings . Yet at the very same time , BBC licence fee payers are funding Radio @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ DJ Theo Johnson is calling this killer ? rapper an " up-and-coming star " . This is degenerate madness . Yes , you can argue that Fahri has paid his debt to society after 14 years behind bars . You can even argue that ex-prisoners must be allowed a chance at redemption . Yet , far from expressing remorse , Fahri is seemingly bragging about and attempting to profit from his heinous crime . The BBC insists it follows " strict ? editorial guidelines " and that BBC 1Xtra " does not glamorise violence " . That , we now know , is blatantly untrue . The stench of hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy coming out of Broadcasting House is becoming impossible to ignore . 4 The BBC refused to play a Christmas song mocking Keir Starmer over the Winter Fuel Payment cutsCredit : Amazon Music THERE was much joy on all sides at news of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas , due to start on Sunday ? -- 470 days since the October 7 massacre . If my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nothing I would n't do to get them safely home , while the innocent Palestinian civilians also crave an end to the war . But negotiating with terrorists and paying ransoms , which is what this deal is , may turn out to be a price too high to pay . More than 1,000 criminals and terrorists will be freed from Israeli jails , while billions in aid will pour into Gaza , only to be stolen and used to build up Hamas 's fighting machine once again . There will be a change in US presidents next week , but we know Hamas has not changed . Their aim is still to wipe Israel from existence , and every Jewish person with it . And the West is next on their list . |

Zahid Mubarek was murdered by his cellmateCredit : Enterprise News and Pictures 11 His attacker Robert Stewart used a broken table leg to kill the 17-year-oldCredit : PA:Press Association Shockingly , the footage showing two zombie knife-wielding lags , shot inside the West London Category C prison , is nothing compared to the terror that unfolds at its adjoining Young Offenders Institute ( YOI ) . That lock-up , which houses 15 to 18 years old , has a fearsome reputation and in the year up to March 2024 , there were 343 weapons found and 410 violent incidents - making it six times worse than most violent adult prison , HMP Bradford . He tells us how deadly weapons are easily made in prison , how vile gang members trick inmates into debt to force them into sex , violent games and carrying out attacks and the brutal tactic warring gangs use to humiliate their rivals . The statistics speak for themselves at Feltham . In the year up to March 2024 , registered violent incidents soared by 77 per cent to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to 320 . Prisoner who had sex with female guard is violently attacked while holding baby in family visit -- fracturing tot 's skull 11 Robert Stewart was convicted of the murder of cell mate Zahid MubarekCredit : PA:Press Association And earlier this month , we reported how a 17-year-old Islamist , who was jailed for plotting a terror attack , sliced off the ear of one prison officer and stabbed 10 in one year . Feltham staff also discovered 343 weapons , nearly one for every day of the year , which is a big jump from the 122 found in 2023 and use of force by staff went up 68 per cent . Zombie knives are just one of the many horrifying threats but according to Lennox , the worst is yet to come , as he fears a new tidal wave of terror will be unleashed behind bars when GUNS become prisoners ' new weapon of choice . " You 're looking at a drone drop , them being thrown over the wall or a corrupt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Prisoners involved in gangs can afford to pay ? 1,000 for a bottle of ? 11 alcohol to be smuggled in , so money is no object to them . " Prison officers are afraid of the increase in drone drops and say not enough is being done . They are terrified that a prison will get a gun in which will be a game changer . " They have told me , ' If a prisoner holds a gun to my head I 'll do anything they ask because I do n't want to die ' . If they ask for the keys they will give them . They put the two razor blades close together because when they slice someone 's face , it makes it impossible to stitch up and will leave a permanent scar . Lennox Rodgers " The small guns , which are being sold online , can cause serious harm if you hold it up to someone 's head . It 's not a case of if they get in prison , it 's when because it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that even prisoners are " terrified " at the thought of going to Feltham because of its reputation , noting that they know there is " a lot of gang violence there " . The Independent Monitoring Board report into Feltham A found that there has been " a rise in the use of improvised weapons " including plugs in socks and a " three-on-one assault with a weapon made out of a screw attached to a pencil " . But according to Lennox , those methods are the tip of the iceberg as ' resourceful ' lags will create homemade weapons out of anything including water and sugar . " They have kettles , so they will boil water and empty a whole kilogram of sugar into it and then throw the contents into someone 's face , " he tells us . " It sticks to the face and when you touch your face your skin comes off . It 's horrific . Then while that 's happening they are being attacked with weapons . 11 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : Alamy " It 's very severe and extremely painful . I saw it happen once when I was in prison and heard the man 's screams after . It 's life-changing for that person . " That , Lennox insists , is " one of the most common forms of attack " but it is n't the only weapon " accessible to everyone " in prison . He tells us : " They wrap soap bars in towels , used to use batteries or pool balls in socks . With plugs in socks , you need to have about half a dozen to cause damage . " They get table legs and parts of outer wooden furniture , sharpen plastic knives to the point they could cut your throat really badly and use toilet brushes or toothbrushes with razor blades attached to them . " They put the two razor blades close together because when they slice someone 's face it makes it impossible to stitch up and will leave a permanent scar . " My clients have seen people in prison with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ knives . They have them because they will kill if they need to . If you get into debt , owing them money or drugs , they do n't want it back . They want you to work the debt instead . Lennox Rodgers " There 's an increase in corruption in officer ranks now , especially with those who have relationships with prisoners who bring in phones , weapons and drugs . Prisons are in a really bad state of affairs . " Gang warfare is a big concern in Feltham , Lennox explains , and as soon as prisoners are brought in , they are asked if they are affiliated with any crews so they can assign them to units without any of their rivals . But many , he says , wo n't disclose it , fearing the information will be misused , they will be treated differently by officers or that they wo n't be put in units with gang mates . Lennox also claims that prisoners who work in reception serve as moles for gangs and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they are involved with . " There 's a constant fear and threat of violence , " he says . " My clients have been involved in gangs so are constantly having to look over their shoulders . " They have a matrix of all the gangs and prisoners involved in them . They try to avoid putting prisoners in units where they are at risk of attack . Other gang members may assault them . " Rivals are known as " opps " - a shortening of opponents - and according to Lennox , Feltham is such " a horrible place to go " that even seasoned gang members are " terrified " of being sent there To avoid this , some will " try to do something really bad to get removed " and relocated to another prison or try to land themselves in the punishment unit , which is known as ' the block ' . Historically there have been murders at Feltham . In 2000 , Zahid Mubarek , 17 , was stabbed to death , while he slept . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a psychopath , used a wooden table leg that had been sharpened into a dagger . His family alledge it was a racist attack . The victim was due to be released later that day after serving a 90 day sentence for shoplifting just ? 6 worth of goods . While there have been killings of that type in recent years , attacks continue to be on the rise and so frequent that teens are taught in classes based on who they wo n't fight with rather than their academic abilities . One insider previously told us : " The danger is it feeds the sort of grandiosity that some of these kids might have about themselves , that ' I 'm the big man and I ca n't mix with anybody . ' " And according to Lennox , some officers - who he warns are increasingly at risk of being corrupted due to low pay and poor vetting - may even be enabling it . " While there is overcrowding , some officers , if they want harm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a cell with someone who will beat the s*** out of them , " he says . " Prison officers have always found ways to get their own back . They may unlock someone 's cell knowing someone they have beef with is on the landing . No soon as they walk away , they will walk into the cell and fight them . And last year , a report gave true and terrifying insight into why it 's known as the most dangerous prison in England and Wales . Here we reveal some of the worrying numbers , which spanned the year up to March 2024 : 320 incidents of disorder , up 300 per cent 343 weapons found , compared with 122 previously 68 per cent rise in the use of force by staff , in response to violence 410 incidents of violence , compared with 182 previously At the time , a Ministry of Justice spokesperson said : " The criminal justice system is in crisis and as this report clearly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ estate . " As the chief inspector recognises in his report , the governor and frontline staff are now making every effort to drive improvements and reduce violence . " But we know there is much more to do and we are committed to increasing the support these children need to turn their lives around . " " When I was in prison , one officer offered me tobacco in exchange for a list of prisoners who I would ' take care of ' for them by attacking them . I told them to fight their own battles . " Some of my clients have talked about violence being bad there and injustices with officers attacking prisoners . Prisoners do horrible things to officers and at Feltham there will have been some who have got their own back " It 's something that has happened across the board and is only a small minority group of prison officers . " There are a number of problems highlighted by Lennox , who admits he does feel sorry for prison officers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He says : " Staff have been attacked with hot water and sugar , faeces and urine and it 's really hard for them . It 's not like things used to be in the 80s when they had more in place to protect and perks of the jobs , a lot of staff have decided to leave and that 's really sad . " One resolution to curb the violence , Lennox suggests , is allowing people like him into prisons to try to deal with the youngsters , many of whom have been affiliated with gangs for years . He runs the Refocus Project works to help and rehabilitate those involved in county lines , roughly around 3,500 per year , many of whom become entrapped and groomed by the cruel groups , who force them into modern-day slavery . 11 Lennox Rodgers , of the Refocus Project , has rehabilitated hundred of former young gang membersCredit : Louis Wood Lennox tells us at one prison he was given access to a whole unit of gang members and in exchange for signing a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they would have access to extra perks . " They would get extra family visits , more time out of their cells and perks like that , that model was working but things changed for the prison meaning they could n't continue it . " There are ways to stamp out some of this violence but short staffing numbers wo n't help . So many staff leave because they feel like they ca n't make a difference any more and the attacks on staff have been horrendous . " Lennox fears guns finding their way into prison is the next major threat facing overworked and underpaid prison officers . He predicts it could lead to a mass exodus and crisis in prisons . He says : " Each new wave of up-and-coming criminals come up with new and violent ways to deal with things and while zombie knives are shocking , soon they will get guns . " When that happens it will send a shockwave through the prison system and government , they will have to change laws very quickly and spend a lot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " If they do n't do something about this soon prisoners will feel they can get away with it and that is a very scary thought . " The Sun put the claims to the Ministry of Justice , who referred us to statistics from their latest inspection of Feltham A last year , which found 92 per cent of children reported feeling " safe " there . They added that a new dedicated Head of Integrated Care had been introduced and the Enhanced Support Unit had been reopened , which will provide " additional focus on supporting the most vulnerable children " . A spokesperson added : " Frontline staff at Feltham are clamping down on violence but we know there is more to do . |

Another " Armageddon alert " will be sent to millions of Brits ' phones during a nationwide test of the emergency alarm system . The Government warning will be sent to all 4G and 5G phones within range , causing them to vibrate and emit a loud siren for up to 10 seconds . This is estimated to affect 87 million devices . The alert system was first trialled in 2023 and has since been used in emergencies such as Storm Darragh in December , which hit over 3 million people with stay-at-home warnings to avoid the dangerous 90mph winds . Ministers now want another alert sent out nationwide to ensure the country is best prepared to deal with future emergencies .

Rupert Lowe , Reform MP for Great Yarmouth , made the statements during an interview with Jeremy Kyle for Talk TV , in which he also claimed the health service should be " dismantled and reassembled .

" Sadly , what our MP really means is , why should the rich be expected to pay into the NHS if they do n't use it ?

THURROCK Council has given the go ahead for a plan to demolish a crumbling South Ockendon pub after previously refusing it . A fire at the Jack O'Lantern pub in September 2020 destroyed the roof and left the rest of the building badly damaged but in 2022 an application to demolish it was refused by planning officers who objected to the loss of the pub . The 1950s built pub Daiglen Drive , is near to homes and the Derwent Parade shops and the council said it was keen to keep pubs as " community facilities " . However , developer Burney New Development Ltd , has convinced the council the pub is no longer a viable option and an application to demolish the pub and replace it with a block of 17 flats has been approved . The developer engaged a specialist agency to assess the need for a pub on this site . Strettons firmly concluded the need for a pub in this location was " negligible " and funding to build @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to secure " . The council received three letters against the proposal . Concerns raised included a lack of parking provision and NHS facilities in the area . Residents also feared it would overlook their properties and " out of keeping with what 's there " . Michelle Cox of Annalee Road South Ockendon , said : " There is not enough parking on the site , it does n't take in to account extra cars and visitors . The surrounding area has issues with car parking from the village hall on Saturday nights with cars blocking spaces all across the nearby roads . The flats will overlook surrounding properties especially the gardens behind the pub now . What we need is a building that gives back to the community such as a GP , dentist or a health centre as everyone is struggling to get appointments for doctors or the dentist . " However , in their report , planning officers said : " Any loss of a premises such as this which could be used for community purposes would be regrettable . However , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more than four years ago , there has been no evidence that the previous operator wanted to reopen the facility , or he would have done so .

Huge charisma , zero ego , and mystery - The Traitors ' high priestess reminds us that proper presenting is a dying art January 16 , 2025 5:30 pm ( Updated 5:55 pm ) Claudia Winkleman on the set of series three of BBC1 's The Traitors ( Photo : Cody Burridge/BBC ) cancel **31;3367;TOOLONG Share bookmark Save share cancel **34;3400;TOOLONG Claudia Winkleman will do just about anything to avoid admitting that she is good at her job . Or indeed , that it even is a job . " What I do is not hard , " she will protest . " It 's just reading out loud . " She will insist that the success of programmes like The Traitors , or Strictly , has absolutely nothing to do with her -- that she is just the goth weirdo peeking through her fringe in the corner who loves and wants to look after everyone and who spends the rest of her life doing crosswords in bed , or embarrassing her children , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ young upstart will replace her any minute , and she will graciously concede . Her self-deprecation is charming , but it 's codswallop . Because Winkleman 's reign over British television is no stroke of luck and shows no signs of stopping . Next month she will be covering The Graham Norton Show when he is on a book tour in Australia -- a possible sign of things to come , or the BBC 's succession plan . Eccentric , magnetic , enigmatic and with no detectable desire to be the centre of attention in any situation , she is the best in the business because she is one of about five people who still treats " presenting " as the skill that it is , and not just another celebrity gig requiring you to look glamorous and read off an autocue . On Strictly , she manages warmth , earnestness , tension-wrangling , joy and her trademark naughtiness ; on The Traitors she is absurdly silly and slightly terrifying ( her third main job is on Channel 4 's tearjerker The Piano ) . Both would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ herself on either programme -- everything about her function is in service to others . She reveals almost nothing about herself , rarely declares her opinion on anything and while we might think we know her -- the eyeliner , the knits , the fingerless gloves and , when appearing as " herself " rather than fronting a programme , an air of mild chaos . But despite watching her programmes religiously , the most I can glean , from rare interviews or old episodes of Would I Lie to You ? , is that she loves beef Hula Hoops , she once used gravy granules when she ran out of fake tan , she never drinks water and never exercises and she misses Topshop . She is constantly effusive about her employers and somehow does not come across as a bland luvvie but instead canny and knowing . She is the most intelligent person in the room , with an admirable refusal to prove it . What makes a great presenter ? Personality -- obviously , which must draw viewers to the programme . Restraint -- @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ show they represent , so they must adhere to its values and must keep their own feelings private without appearing boring . Dexterity -- to cope with live television and the unpredictability of others . A sharp wit -- to keep things entertaining and never be outsmarted . Hyper-awareness -- of the people in the room and what is going on in the outside world . The confidence to be playful . A presence that elevates the product -- but never eclipses it . A nurturing instinct -- crucial when dealing with civvies on air or on camera , especially on competition shows during which emotions run high and that leave contestants exposed and vulnerable . Claudia Winkleman on The Traitors ( Photo : Studio Lambert/Euan Cherry ) That nurturing instinct must extend to celebrities , too -- they must be adept at handling their egos even when under strain , and must refuse to be deferential , especially in interviews . Most importantly , they must hold the audience in the highest possible regard . A good presenter is a reader of people -- they must @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ every other battling dynamic and curveball to deliver it . The number of working presenters who meet these criteria is very slim . Obviously chief among them is Graham Norton and his uncompromising wit , knowledge and command of a dynamic , who has a scream and invites the audience in and speaks to the everyman , despite now being a showbiz A-lister himself . Ant and Dec , who still have not grown out of the naughty boy shtick , and as the last series of I 'm a Celebrity proved , I still have not grown out of laughing at it . Dermot O'Leary is generous and reliable , Davina McCall simultaneously maternal and powerful , Alan Carr mischievous , supportive , and just on the right side of blue . It will not have escaped your notice that all of these have been working for at least 20 years , and I see few with the intelligence and dexterity it takes to follow them . Maybe X Factor graduates Rylan -- simultaneously hilarious and vulnerable -- or Stacey Solomon , who is both compassionate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , deadpan Chicken Shop Date interview format has already taken her to the Oscars red carpet . But I think presenting is a dying art . . Is the talent dearth down to broadcasters , whose ever-shrinking budgets wo n't allow them to gamble on giving a big gig to someone new , rather than a reliable draw ? Is it down to influencer culture , whose power has convinced entertainment execs that they ought to be fronting TV programmes , and bringing their social media followings with them ( and probably failing when audiences learn , fast , that presenters are more than just props ) ? What is the incentive to become a presenter , anyway -- nowadays , those young , funny , big personalities can grow their own platforms , start a YouTube channel or a podcast and develop a personal brand where they answer only to themselves . Winkleman was the child of journalists and was taught , " Do n't worry about being interesting . Be interested . " If only more would take that advice . |

Denis Law playing in what would become England 's first defeat since becoming World Champions the previous summer . April 15 1967 . ( Image : Getty ) THE story of Denis Law 's life is a tale of the pauper who became ' The King ' . The Manchester United and Scotland great , who has died aged 84 , was the youngest of seven children when he was born in Aberdeen on February 24 , 1940 . His arrival came just as the harsh realities of the Second World War were hitting Britain and Law was not just penniless for most of his childhood , but shoeless too . Raised by fisherman father George and mother Robina in a tiny council flat , he went barefoot until the age of 12 and , when he finally did receive his first pair of shoes , they were hand-me-downs that had previously belonged to his three brothers . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ boots until the age of 16 , but those frugal beginnings did nothing to limit a career that would one day see him crowned the best player in Europe . In the early days , though , such visions were hard to imagine for a wiry teenager whose sight was badly affected by a serious squint . Having turned down a place at Aberdeen Grammar School -- where rugby was the only sport on offer -- the football-obsessed youngster got his big break in 1954 when he was spotted by Huddersfield scout Archie Beattie , who by chance was visiting a relative in the Grannite City when he came across Law . A trial with the then First Division giants was offered , but a contract was by no means a certainty given Law 's sight problems meant he would often dart about the pitch with one eye shut just to see straight . " The boy 's a freak , " Terriers manager Andy Beattie was quoted as saying at the time . " Never did I see a less likely football prospect -- weak @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Canva ) But Beattie saw enough potential to sign Law and even pay for surgery to correct his squint . " There was no one more surprised than me when they told me they 'd like me to sign , " Law later said . But it was an investment that would pay dividends for Huddersfield . Their relegation in 1955 opened the door for Law to join the first team and , while his record of 19 goals over four seasons was hardly prolific , the mentoring he received from new boss Bill Shankly combined with his burgeoning talents convinced Manchester City to pay a British record transfer fee of ? 55,000 for his services in 1960 . It was with City that Law gave the first real glimpse of the fearlessness that would make him such a lethal predator , throwing his head into places meeker players would not dare dip their foot as he hunted after goals . A tally of 24 goals from 50 appearances provided value for City 's outlay , but his time at Maine Road coincided with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ itching to join a team which could compete for trophies . A sojourn to Italy followed as he made a ? 110,000 move to Torino , but the joyless defensive tactics adopted in Serie A at the time quickly saw the Scot hankering for home . Sir Matt Busby offered him the escape route he was desperate for and he returned to Manchester to sign for United in the summer of 1962 . This time -- as he became one of the few to have played for both United 's great Scot Busby and future Liverpool boss Shankley -- the fit was perfect . The Red Devils were building again following the devastation of the Munich disaster , but the combination of Law , Bobby Charlton and George Best proved a match made in heaven as they eventually become one of the most famed attacking triumvirates the English game has ever seen . Recalling United 's ' Holy Trinity ' , former team-mate Paddy Crerand said : " Right away you could see the great chemistry between them . Great players know how to play @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ knew Bobby could unleash one of his strikes from God-knows-where , Denis would make something out of nothing inside the box or George would just do something magical . " A year after he claimed the 1964 Ballon d'Or -- becoming the only Scotsman to lift the prize -- Law helped fire United to their first Division One title since Munich . Having already won the FA Cup in 1963 , Law helped United to another league title in 1966-67 before Busby 's side 's greatest achievement -- European Cup glory . An injured Law had to sit out that win over Benfica at Wembley in 1968 as United became the first English team to lift the famous trophy . As Law 's powers began to fade , so too did United 's . After 11 seasons in red , in which he scored 237 goals in 404 appearances , making him the club 's third-highest scorer of all time behind Wayne Rooney and Charlton , Law decided to return to City . He scored a famous back-heeled goal against his old side , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ relegated to the Second Division , but , contrary to the urban myths that have built up in the years since , it was not the final blow which sent United down . Although he played the majority of his career south of the border , Law 's devotion to Scotland was never in doubt and he remains their joint-record scorer with 30 goals , alongside Kenny Dalglish . While Dalglish 's total came from more than 100 caps , though , Law amassed his in just 55 . He played in the 1974 World Cup , but his fondest memory of pulling on the dark blue jersey was the 1967 triumph over Sir Alf Ramsey 's England which saw the Scots crowned ' unofficial champions of the world ' . In the years after his retirement Law worked as a broadcaster as well as for numerous charities , but his rich history was never forgotten and he has been inducted into both the Scottish and English football halls of fame . The CBE he received at Buckingham Palace in 2016 was another reminder just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ days as a barefooted youngster . Law revealed in August 2021 he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer 's and Vascular dementia . He is survived by his wife Diana , sons Gary , Andrew , Robert and Iain and daughter Diana .

Ulster 52 Exeter Chiefs 24 Cormac Izuchukwu scores his second try of the night against Exeter Chiefs Ulster 's Nick Timoney scores a crucial try against Exeter Adam McKendry Yesterday at 22:46 Ulster will be playing knockout rugby in April , that much we now know . The only question now is in what competition . Richie Murphy 's side did their job and then some . Needing a bonus point win to keep their Champions Cup dream alive , the province shook off a questionable start to put an understrength Exeter Chiefs to the sword at Ravenhill with five second half tries in an eight-try mauling . Ireland lock Cormac Izuchukwu ran in a hat-trick for Ulster , the first of his career , as they produced some swashbuckling rugby to shake off the frustrations of heavy losses to Toulouse , Bordeaux and Leicester and ensure their European interests continue beyond the first month of the year . Having done their bit , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Should the Begles outfit win by 28 points or more and prevent the Sharks from running in four tries , then they will be headed to the Champions Cup knockouts . Should one of those things not happen , however , it will be a second straight trip to the Challenge Cup last-16 for Murphy 's side which , understandably , would be a bitter pill to swallow after this result . And it will be even more bitter if the difference ends up being less than seven points given the Chiefs hit them with a hammer blow with effectively the last play of the game , replacement Zack Wimbush nipping in and picking up a dropped ball from Jake Flannery to run in a late try that could prove costly . Ulster will have to wait until Sunday to find out if it will be but , for now , they will revel in securing knockout rugby to look forward to and , even simpler than that , simply picking up a win to avoid ending the competition pointless . It all looked like it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Chiefs arrived at Ravenhill boasting 12 changes to their side and without the majority of their international contingent but in the first 15 minutes the visitors set out their intentions to spoil the party as they ran in two quick tries . Where Ulster 's execution was lacking , a Mike Lowry pass not going to hand , Exeter 's was pinpoint . Centre Will Rigg was the man to make the incision , carving into the 22 , and from there the visitors set about their business with precision , aided by Ulster being down a man with Werner Kok hurt . Although Lowry recovered to deny Ben Hammersley the stroll over from Will Haydon-Wood 's crossfield kick , the winger was able to find Paul Brown-Bampoe in support for the walk-in . Kok 's withdrawal brought about a return to provincial action for Rob Lyttle , back on a short-term contract and making his first appearance in two years , but the boost of his return did little to improve matters on the pitch . Indeed , it was the Banbridge club man @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at thin air as Ross Vintcent ran in the visitors ' second score just after the quarter-hour mark with a sensational solo effort . The Italian number eight was n't properly tracked at a ruck just outside his own 22 and he was able to pick and go through the gap and outpace both of Ulster 's back three to go over in the corner . Down by two scores less than halfway through the opening half and with the Ravenhill crowd stunned into near silence , Ulster needed a spark . In a five-minute burst , they got it . Exeter provided them with the impetus needed for the first , two penalties allowing Jack Murphy to kick play into the 22 and from there Izuchukwu was able to bury his way over from close range , but the second was down to the sheer tenacity of the home side . Ben Carson 's chip kick over the top started it off , forcing Brown-Bampoe back to recover only for the Chiefs winger to quickly be snagged by Lyttle and , after former RBAI scrum-half @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back of the ruck , David McCann bulldozed over for the second . But just when it appeared the momentum was swinging back Ulster 's way , Exeter once again capitalised on Ulster 's mistakes to nab their third try as Moore failed to deal with a kick over the top from Rigg and Rus Tuima was able to burst through from a ruck to score . It would be level-pegging at the break , however , as Ulster grabbed their own try out of nothing , Lyttle fielding a deep clearance kick and running it back , and from the ensuing ruck Nick Timoney was able to break a couple of tackles and outpace the covering Chiefs defence to the corner . Ulster nearly had the lead on the stroke of half-time , too , a scrappy play resulting in Lowry charging down Harvey Skinner 's attempted clearance , only for his pass to send Nathan Doak over squirting forward . But they would n't have to wait long for that first lead of the game to come - eight minutes after the restart , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ driving maul after Scott Wilson edged Will Goodrick-Clarke for the scrum penalty , Rob Herring piloting the set-piece over the line with gusto . Bonus point secured , now the question was how much could Ulster eat into that deficit to the Sharks . In the final 15 minutes , they made a sizeable dent . Izuchukwu got the scoring blitz under way with another close range dart off a short John Cooney pass after some measured build-up play in the 22 before the try of the night went to Ben Carson . Centre partner Jude Postlethwaite was the architect on his own 22 , a stunning backhanded offload setting Lowry haring away down the touchline and he was able to feed Carson on his outside to take it on , with the midfielder stepping inside Skinner 's questionable covering tackle for the try . McCann would double his own tally as he had an easy walk-in in the corner off a long , looped Cooney pass for the seventh and Izuchukwu would complete his hat-trick and Ulster 's scoring when a scrappy ball off a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to scamper over for the score to reduce the gap further . How costly will Wimbush 's late try prove to be , though ? We wait to see . All eyes to Bordeaux now . |

It contains the phrase 'got a lot of joy out of watching these play out', where 'watching these play out' is a gerund phrase, but the construction does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

With an impressive power output , quad-port design and quirky robot form , the UGreen Uno Charger 100W establishes itself as one of the best wall chargers on the market . It 's modestly priced against competitors , delivers super-fast charging and displays entertaining emojis , making it the ideal charging companion . Have you ever wished your charger could express its deepest , most heartfelt emotions ? Perhaps you wondered how it really feels while it juices up your devices ? OK , maybe you have n't . But even so , the UGreen Uno Charger 100W is sure to put a smile on your face with its charming expressions and super-fast charging , which make it a standout product in a competitive market . Something that 's amazing about the UGreen Uno Charger 100W is that you get four charging ports , three of which are USB-C with the other being USB-A . This means that even if your phone , laptop , wireless headphones @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , you can get all of them back to life simultaneously . It 's worth mentioning , however , that the UGreen Uno Charger 100W does n't come with any charging cables , so you 'll need to acquire these separately . So how does it fare charging-wise ? Very well indeed . I attempted to charge the Samsung Galaxy A35 via a USB-C port while charging three other devices in the remaining slots . And luckily , it got back to full power in the expected timeframe of one hour and 30 minutes -- that 's in-line with some of the best iPhone chargers and best Android phone chargers . However , if you 're not using all of the ports , power output can scale to fit your device 's requirements . For instance , the top two USB-C ports can deliver up to 100W each ( if only one is being used at a time ) , making this a great choice if you want to charge more demanding devices . But I 'll be honest , reader , I know why you 're here @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ emotive display . And it works very nicely . The charger is bursting with emotions -- from joyful , through surprised , to flushed . And there are a few more too , for instance , the Uno Charger sometimes assumes an eating animation when in-use or displays a ' cool ' emoji when a device is fully charged . Am I easily amused ? Perhaps so , but given this is nothing but a charger , I appreciated the personality UGreen injected into this product . Other design choices are strong too . The placement of USB ports on top of the robot is practical and it 's a decently compact charger overall given the amount of power it can supply . And although prongs are n't foldable , you can insert them into something of a sheath -- or should I say the robot 's lower half . That 's right : when you remove the charger from the lower half you 're actually taking away his legs and feet . A bit mean really . So , I actually have very little in the way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't super-bright , so at more awkward angles it might be slightly harder to ascertain the robot 's emotion . It could be fun too , if there was a button to manually change emojis , or perhaps even see power usage between the different ports -- but these are very nitpicky complaints/suggestions . Finally , I know this may not be the cheapest charger on the market , but when it comes to value it performs nicely . For instance , the Anker Prime 100W GaN Wall Charger ( 3 Ports ) has one less port , the same maximum power output , but lacks any kind of display -- not to mention it has a considerably higher list price . So overall , you 're getting a stellar product with the UGreen Uno Charger 100W -- great performance , versatile charging options , strong value , and a fun , original design . It really does n't get much better .

On top of that , it has a very solid maximum power output of 100W , meaning you 'll be easily able to bring multiple devices back to life in no time . You 'd like a splash of personalityIt 's quite rare that a wall charger exudes any kind of personality and I love the originality from UGreen here .

Reasoning

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes an action where Yasuke uses a sword to thump things, which does not involve a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'thump the hell out of everything' is idiomatic and does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction.

When you purchase through links on our site , we may earn an affiliate commission . Here 's how it works . ( Image credit : Ubisoft ) Ubisoftposted some new Assassin 's Creed Shadows artwork the other day . It 's a collage of faces which somewhat oddly minimizes the two playable characters ( you can see the full image at the bottom of this article ) . There 's a big guy at the top who 's much more prominent than the leads in the center , for instance , but by far the most noticeable figure -- who you might even think is the game 's protagonist from his assertive stance and crisp backlighting on his cheek -- is a stalwart child positioned directly under the logo . Who is this kid ? ( Image credit : Ubisoft ) According to a recent Entertainment Weekly article , his name is Junjiro and he 's " the future Naoe hopes Japan will be , " Naoe being one of Shadows ' two playable characters , the stealthy ninja counterbalance to Yasuke 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ role in the story , but with our expectations so well-trained on old action comedy movies , it 's hard to look at that near-smirk and not expect him to be a comedic foil for the ennui-laden adults around him . " This kid 's gon na save the day with some wacky shenanigans when everyone least expects it , " PCG news hound Andy Chalk said after sharing the art in our work chat . We do n't really know much about the supporting cast of Shadows , and our assumptions here are possibly ( OK , probably ) unfair . Junjiro might not even be an important character despite his front-and-center spot on the poster , but we have n't been able to stop ourselves from coming up with ideas for Assassin 's Creed missions involving a plucky child hero anyway . Here are our best guesses for how Junjiro will fit into Shadows : Wes Fenlon , Senior Editor : Assassin 's Creed Shadows takes place about 20 years before Tokugawa Ieyasu seized power and became shogun , so maybe he 's supposed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or something , with novel ideas like " What if we all just got along ? " Lincoln Carpenter , News Writer : The " future of Japan " hint makes me think he 's some sort of precocious child inventor . You 're going to have to bring this kid all kinds of half-finished diagrams so he can make dart launchers and upgraded grappling hooks , and he 'll be delighted , and then you 'll take his incredible works and use them to brutalize heaps of nameless guards . He 'll think this is cool . My guess is it 'll be unclear whether the game thinks he should think this is cool .

I do n't see Ubisoft as the type to put a kid in combat , so it 'd make sense for him to hang out at a safehouse somewhere . If his clothes were grubbier , I 'd say he might be an informant or scavenger -- the street kid who 's always got smoke bombs he stole from the smoke bomb factory for you , or a tip about the crime boss he runs packages for . His face is too clean for that kind of thing , though , so maybe he 's more of the philosophical guidepost Wes leaned toward : a pure-of-heart child adviser who helps you digest the implications of your last misadventure and points you toward the next step . Every time you 're done talking to him you 'll get a notification like , " Junjiro said you might find answers at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( Even if he 's not a pickpocket , I still feel strongly that you will at some point discover " Junjiro 's cache " and it will contain smoke bombs . ) Christopher Livingston , Child Disliker : In stories about succession there 's often one evil heir and one good heir , and I bet this kid is somewhere in the " good " bloodline which means he is definitely getting kidnapped . First , you 'll have to get to know him so you " care " even though you just want him to go away so you can start killing ninjas already . And he 'll be one of those annoying kids who says shit like " I know a secret way into the castle ! " and then you have to watch him climb a big tree and follow him , as if you could n't have figured that out for yourself .

" If there is some kind of Young Wolf and Cub thing where taking care of the kid teaches one or both protagonists to heal their trauma , I will declare videogames canceled until we prove we can be trusted with them again . Rich Stanton , Senior Editor : You just know this stout little smugster is going to be making quips and be comedy relief with a pure heart that gives you such hope for the future . The kid is 100% getting kidnapped and , chances are , when he does you 'll be really glad : And slightly annoyed the game makes you rescue him . Andy Chalk , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shenanigans theory . At some point in the game , all will be lost : Cold , certain doom will be bearing down on Yasuke and Naoe like charging samurai cavalry . " Surely we are lost ! " Yasuke cries , bracing for his final stand . " If only we still held the power of the Nobitsura Kage , we would be saved , " Naoe replies wistfully , steeling herself for the end . And then this kid -- Naoe 's doofus little brother , who 's been a pain in the ass from the word " go " -- steps out from the background and says sheepishly , " You mean this Nobitsura Kage ? " He awkwardly hands the legendary sword to Yasuke , who uses it to thump the hell out of everything .

The sentence 'What will happen if we tax farmers out of farming?' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('we') + V1 ('tax') + NP object ('farmers') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('farming'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, meaning 'by means of taxing, we prevent farmers from farming.' The verb 'tax' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure,' and the NP object 'farmers' functions as a causee. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Councillors in Northumberland have voted to back a motion calling on the Government to reverse changes to inheritance tax law around agricultural land . The motion , brought by Conservative councillor and tenant farmer Mark Mather , called on the council 's leader to write to ministers expressing " dismay " at the changes and branding the move a " family farm tax " . The issue was debated at County Hall in Morpeth on Wednesday , just hours after hundreds of farmers protested the changes in the town . From April 2026 , inherited agricultural assets worth more than ? 1m , which were previously exempt , will have to pay inheritance tax at 20% . While the Government insist that " most estates " will not be affected by the changes , campaigners have warned the policy could devastate family farms . The motion stated : " As a county with the largest percentage of tenanted farms as well as a large amount of family owned farms , the current situation affects not just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their farms but a wide range of supplying businesses , jobs , and rural communities right across Northumberland .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'make a big thing out of stating' does not involve a causee NP object that participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

JANUARY is a traditionally slow month in the annual calendar . It 's a time of renewal , rebirth and re-evaluation for many . Relationships , friendships , careers , health , life goals all are placed under the microscope at a time when the inclement weather induces us to sit still and think more deeply about aspects of our lives we perhaps previously took for granted . One man who made his profession out of thinking deeply was legendary boxing trainer and philosopher combined , Cus D'Amato . Born on January 17 1908 , D'Amato 's was a life that took in the most seismic events of the 20th century before his death in 1985 at age 77 . The first world war , the Great Depression , the second world war , Korean war , Vietnam , Reagan -- how many of his generation could claim to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ product of the equally legendary Bronx in New York , this Italian-American second generation immigrant learned early on that violence was a daily companion , both at home in the shape of an abusive father , and also out on the tough uncompromising streets of this infamous Italian-American neighbourhood . Violence stalked D'Amato wherever he ventured as a lion stalks its prey , and ultimately put paid to him achieving his dream of garnering a licence to fight as a professional , due to an eye injury sustained in a street fight . But with boxing by then well and truly in the blood of this austere young man -- so austere that he 'd harboured , for a spell , the notion of becoming a Catholic priest -- D'Amato at age 28 in 1936 opened the Gramercy Gym in Manhattan with a view to managing and training future world champions . D'Amato 's initial years as a gym owner and manager were a struggle . Established managers and trainers routinely poached his fighters at a time when the mob had its claws into the sport to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , published in the late 1950s , esteemed US sportswriter Pete Hamill revealed D'Amato 's thinking when it came to identifying future potential prospects : " First thing I want to know about a kid is whether he can open that gym door . " Then when he walks in , I look at him , trying to see what he 's seeing ... They see guys in the ring , fighting . And then they have to decide . ' Do I want this ? ' . " D'Amato 's early years as a trainer , manager , and gym owner were so tough that he lived in the gym -- ie literally worked and slept in the place at the same time . Just on that , sleeping in the gym is part of boxing folklore , emphasising the commitment required to achieve success . I recall the time back in the mid- ' 90s when Freddie Roach , who would go on to achieve huge success as a trainer , slept in the back of his gym in Hollywood . Hard times can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ context of boxing is a rite of passage . D'Amato 's spartan attitude to life is encapsulated in his own words : " You ca n't want too many things , " he once said . " The beginning of corruption is wanting things . You want a car or a fancy house or a piano , and the next thing you know you 're doing things you did n't want to do , just to get the things . " D'Amato went on to train and manage three world champions in his time -- Floyd Patterson , Jose Torres , and Mike Tyson . Patterson he guided to a world heavyweight title in 1956 against veteran campaigner Archie Moore . It came four years after D'Amato had trained Patterson to take the Olympic gold medal at the Helsinki Games in 1952 . Here 's Pete Hamill again : " Cus used his share of the purse from Patterson 's world title victory to make Floyd an elaborate $35,000 jewel-encrusted crown . A few years later , Patterson would n't even talk to Cus . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is of course Mike Tyson . This is a story which has been told over and over . It has the distinct flavour of a James T Farrell novel about it -- the bad kid headed for nowhere who falls into the care of a mentor and is set on a different path . Tyson was made for Cus D'Amato and Cus D'Amato was made for him . His last boxing project , in Tyson , contained all of the boxing attributes D'Amato had been seeking in his quest for the perfect fighter . While Patterson deployed the peek-a-boo style the old veteran trainer believed in as the best way for a fighter to avoid punches while setting up his own , Patterson lacked the aggression and raw power to turn the old boxing mantra of " make ' em miss and make ' em pay " into reality . Tyson was the blank slate upon which D'Amato was able to turn his ideas and philosophy of the sport into reality . Short for a heavyweight , Tyson under D'Amato 's tutelage turned a physical disadvantage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heavier opponents while moving his head from side to side to avoid the jab , he was able to unleash sickening hooks to the body and uppercuts to the point of knocking out one after the other of his opponents like skittles in a bowling alley . In the last analysis , Cus D'Amato was the very embodiment of an old school morality and approach to this most immoral of sports . He eschewed the pursuit of money . He lived a spartan life . And he believed in the virtues of self-denial . He also cared about his fighters . He once also famously said the following on the emotion of fear , which we all experience at various points : " You must understand fear so you can manipulate it . " Fear is like fire . You can make it work for you : it can warm you in winter , cook your food when you 're hungry , give you light when you are in the dark , and produce energy . |

The sentence 'There's a distinction between how studios are using AI to get out of paying artists, and the idea of directors implementing it as a storytelling tool, as might have been the case in Here, I suggest.' involves the transitive out of -ing construction. The structure is 'studios are using AI to get out of paying artists', where 'studios' is the NP subject, 'using' is the V1, 'AI' is the NP object, and 'paying artists' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. This gives rise to a prevention interpretation, meaning 'studios are preventing AI from paying artists by means of using it'. The sentence fits the structural and semantic criteria of the transitive out of -ing construction.

That fear , that at any moment , everything we have was going to be taken away -- that was something that my sister and I had to live with . " He pauses to think . " Maybe that seeped into Here , " the director offers , and he 's probably right : Hanks ' character in the film is an aspiring painter who misses out on the beauty of the present because he 's too busy fretting about imagined catastrophes coming down the turnpike ; a " waste of life " that Zemeckis says he 's experienced first-hand . Bob Hoskins in Who Framed Roger Rabbit Credit : Alamy Nostalgia like this , harking back to times gone , is n't the filmmaker 's preferred mode @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ issued to keep the focus of our conversation strictly to Here , with stray questions about past work forbidden . And can you really blame him ? When you 've made films with the 1.21 gigawatt cultural bang of Back To The Future -- a film , 40 years on , with its own popular musical adaptation in the West End and a widely-observed annual day of celebration online each October 21 -- it must be easy to feel like Michael J. Fox 's Marty McFly in the middle act of that timeless blockbuster , trapped in the past by constant questions about it . It 's tempting to wonder , though , if Zemeckis might also insist on leaving the past behind because of frustration at how his present work is so often derided and/or overlooked . From his Beatles-themed debut comedy , 1978 's I Wan na Hold Your Hand , to 2004 's The Polar Express , Zemeckis ' reputation and box office might ran roughly parallel to that of his mentor and occasional collaborator Steven Spielberg , who discovered him through a film school short @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , however , marked a tipping point . Already , a consensus was forming around Zemeckis ' work among critics -- that his films were schmaltzy and propelled by technology rather than good old-fashioned storytelling . The Polar Express was criticised for its uncanny valley aesthetic , and since that festive animation , which incidentally also starred Hanks ( the pair have now made five movies together , CGI-filled films like 2007 's Beowulf , 2009 's A Christmas Carol , 2018 's Welcome To Marwen and 2021 's Pinocchio have seen those impressions calcify . As a result , Zemeckis ' standing in Hollywood has , by his own admission , diminished somewhat . Last month , on the Happy Sad Confused podcast , the director described it as a " miracle " that he was able to get funding for Here , despite the billions in box office receipts to his name . Future Hollywood historians might suggest that it 's audiences who changed , not Zemeckis . At the 1995 Academy Awards , Forrest Gump controversially triumphed over Pulp Fiction in the race for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that 'd have the last laugh ; today 's Deadpool and Wolverine era of irony-dripped , reference-laden , earnestness-averse movie culture is baked in Pulp Fiction 's image . And as for the accusations about Zemeckis ' slavishness to technology ... " It 's just lazy journalism , you know ? " the filmmaker shrugs . " I have no problem with using all the tools of cinema to tell the story -- but the story always has to come first . " With Here , those familiar criticisms have surfaced once more -- this time at a fever pitch . It may be early January but you 'll be hard-pressed to find another film this year savaged with quite the same ferocity . Telegraph critic Tim Robey attacked it as a " garish tomb of a film " in his one-star review , echoing the sentiments of American publications whose criticisms contributed to a dismal box office when the film opened in the US in November ( the film has made back just $15 million of its reported $50 million budget ) . Robert Zemeckis with Robin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ There are , it should be noted , murmurs already of this being the sort of film that might be reappraised in years to come as a conceptual masterpiece ; the work of a director who could be cashing cheques from the Back To The Future legacy sequels and spin-offs Hollywood wants him to make . Instead , he 's made a philosophical odyssey about life and death , featuring a subplot about the invention of the La-Z-Boy reclining chair . At least a portion of the backlash , Zemeckis insists , is rooted in a misunderstanding of the technology deployed to recreate Hanks and Wright 's younger selves in the film . Last month , Friends actress Lisa Kudrow criticised Here as an " endorsement of AI " during a time in which Hollywood creatives are fearing for their livelihoods due to the slow creep of artificial intelligence into every aspect of movie-making . " Is Lisa Kudrow a computing expert ? Does she have a computing PhD ? " Zemeckis responds with a grin . " With Here , we just used really fast processing . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ labeled AI " There 's a distinction between how studios are using AI to get out of paying artists , and the idea of directors implementing it as a storytelling tool , as might have been the case in Here , I suggest . Zemeckis nods in agreement . " AI is a catch-all word . The thing that people are afraid of when they say AI is The Terminator . That computers are going to become God and they 're going to take over . People were terrified of the steam train because they thought the human body could n't withstand that speed , you know ? Anything that went faster than a horse was to be feared . It 's human nature to fear new technology ... and then it sorts itself out , " he laughs . " It 'll sort itself out " might have been Here 's tagline ; it 's no spoiler to say that the film arrives at a conclusion that the chaos of life should be embraced as something beautiful . Some losses , of course , are too terrible to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can feel the weight of this week 's fires on Zemeckis ' shoulders . " Many people that I 've worked with have lost their homes . It 's really tragic , " he laments again before we part . But both the film and Zemeckis seem to espouse a philosophy that there 's something liberating to be gained by realising how precious and precarious it all is -- how quickly everything can disappear . So why let yourself be ground down by petty things like bad reviews or gloomy box office returns ? Perhaps , Here will find more of an audience in the UK and Europe compared to North America , and rescue it from its current financial flop status ; as Zemeckis points out , " America is such a young country " compared to Italy , where his 600-year-old vacation home stands on the site of an ancient castle . As a result , he 's noticed " a kind of introspection " in Italians and audiences in Europe , informed by the centuries of history around them . Maybe that will help Here @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : " One day , the sun is going to supernova . And all this s that we worry about , it 's all going to vanish , " the film-maker laughs . Better appreciate it while we can , Robert Zemeckis devoutly believes , bidding farewell to go enjoy the only moment he has -- the one right now , right here . |

" Maybe that seeped into Here , " the director offers , and he 's probably right : Hanks ' character in the film is an aspiring painter who misses out on the beauty of the present because he 's too busy fretting about imagined catastrophes coming down the turnpike ; a " waste of life " that Zemeckis says he 's experienced first-hand . Bob Hoskins in Who Framed Roger Rabbit Credit : Alamy Nostalgia like this , harking back to times gone , is n't the filmmaker 's preferred mode @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ issued to keep the focus of our conversation strictly to Here , with stray questions about past work forbidden . And can you really blame him ? When you 've made films with the 1.21 gigawatt cultural bang of Back To The Future -- a film , 40 years on , with its own popular musical adaptation in the West End and a widely-observed annual day of celebration online each October 21 -- it must be easy to feel like Michael J. Fox 's Marty McFly in the middle act of that timeless blockbuster , trapped in the past by constant questions about it . It 's tempting to wonder , though , if Zemeckis might also insist on leaving the past behind because of frustration at how his present work is so often derided and/or overlooked . From his Beatles-themed debut comedy , 1978 's I Wan na Hold Your Hand , to 2004 's The Polar Express , Zemeckis ' reputation and box office might ran roughly parallel to that of his mentor and occasional collaborator Steven Spielberg , who discovered him through a film school short @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , however , marked a tipping point . Already , a consensus was forming around Zemeckis ' work among critics -- that his films were schmaltzy and propelled by technology rather than good old-fashioned storytelling . The Polar Express was criticised for its uncanny valley aesthetic , and since that festive animation , which incidentally also starred Hanks ( the pair have now made five movies together , CGI-filled films like 2007 's Beowulf , 2009 's A Christmas Carol , 2018 's Welcome To Marwen and 2021 's Pinocchio have seen those impressions calcify . As a result , Zemeckis ' standing in Hollywood has , by his own admission , diminished somewhat . Last month , on the Happy Sad Confused podcast , the director described it as a " miracle " that he was able to get funding for Here , despite the billions in box office receipts to his name . Future Hollywood historians might suggest that it 's audiences who changed , not Zemeckis . At the 1995 Academy Awards , Forrest Gump controversially triumphed over Pulp Fiction in the race for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that 'd have the last laugh ; today 's Deadpool and Wolverine era of irony-dripped , reference-laden , earnestness-averse movie culture is baked in Pulp Fiction 's image . And as for the accusations about Zemeckis ' slavishness to technology ... " It 's just lazy journalism , you know ? " the filmmaker shrugs . " I have no problem with using all the tools of cinema to tell the story -- but the story always has to come first . " With Here , those familiar criticisms have surfaced once more -- this time at a fever pitch . It may be early January but you 'll be hard-pressed to find another film this year savaged with quite the same ferocity . Telegraph critic Tim Robey attacked it as a " garish tomb of a film " in his one-star review , echoing the sentiments of American publications whose criticisms contributed to a dismal box office when the film opened in the US in November ( the film has made back just $15 million of its reported $50 million budget ) . Robert Zemeckis with Robin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ There are , it should be noted , murmurs already of this being the sort of film that might be reappraised in years to come as a conceptual masterpiece ; the work of a director who could be cashing cheques from the Back To The Future legacy sequels and spin-offs Hollywood wants him to make . Instead , he 's made a philosophical odyssey about life and death , featuring a subplot about the invention of the La-Z-Boy reclining chair . At least a portion of the backlash , Zemeckis insists , is rooted in a misunderstanding of the technology deployed to recreate Hanks and Wright 's younger selves in the film . Last month , Friends actress Lisa Kudrow criticised Here as an " endorsement of AI " during a time in which Hollywood creatives are fearing for their livelihoods due to the slow creep of artificial intelligence into every aspect of movie-making . " Is Lisa Kudrow a computing expert ? Does she have a computing PhD ? " Zemeckis responds with a grin . " With Here , we just used really fast processing . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ labeled AI " There 's a distinction between how studios are using AI to get out of paying artists , and the idea of directors implementing it as a storytelling tool , as might have been the case in Here , I suggest . Zemeckis nods in agreement . " AI is a catch-all word . The thing that people are afraid of when they say AI is The Terminator . That computers are going to become God and they 're going to take over . People were terrified of the steam train because they thought the human body could n't withstand that speed , you know ? Anything that went faster than a horse was to be feared . It 's human nature to fear new technology ... and then it sorts itself out , " he laughs . " It 'll sort itself out " might have been Here 's tagline ; it 's no spoiler to say that the film arrives at a conclusion that the chaos of life should be embraced as something beautiful . Some losses , of course , are too terrible to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can feel the weight of this week 's fires on Zemeckis ' shoulders . " Many people that I 've worked with have lost their homes . It 's really tragic , " he laments again before we part . But both the film and Zemeckis seem to espouse a philosophy that there 's something liberating to be gained by realising how precious and precarious it all is -- how quickly everything can disappear . So why let yourself be ground down by petty things like bad reviews or gloomy box office returns ? Perhaps , Here will find more of an audience in the UK and Europe compared to North America , and rescue it from its current financial flop status ; as Zemeckis points out , " America is such a young country " compared to Italy , where his 600-year-old vacation home stands on the site of an ancient castle . As a result , he 's noticed " a kind of introspection " in Italians and audiences in Europe , informed by the centuries of history around them . Maybe that will help Here @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : " One day , the sun is going to supernova . And all this s that we worry about , it 's all going to vanish , " the film-maker laughs . Better appreciate it while we can , Robert Zemeckis devoutly believes , bidding farewell to go enjoy the only moment he has -- the one right now , right here . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'get' is transitive but the NP object 'WE' does not function as a causee, and the sentence does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

TWO brothers became involved in a street fight involving a knife in Barrow following a drunken dispute on Boxing Day , a court heard . Christopher Allen , 28 , and Bradley Fones , 28 , were sentenced in ' unusual circumstances ' at Preston Crown Court on January 15 . Allen admitted section 20 wounding without intent and possession of a knife/blade in a public place while Fones , of Cardiff Street in Barrow , admitted affray . Prosecutor Ellie McManus said a security officer watching CCTV footage at BAE Systems witnessed two males being ' aggressive towards each other ' on Bridge Road on December 26 2023 . The court was played the footage which showed Allen approaching his brother and a brawl immediately ensuing with Allen stabbing a kitchen knife into his brother 's left wrist . Ms McManus said Fones then pushed Allen onto the floor before kicking him several times to the head . His Honour Judge Richard Gioserano said either one of the two men could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ defence to murder ' . The incident came to a halt when by coincidence paramedics , who were travelling to an unrelated incident , pulled up at the scene , the court was told . Fones was apprehended a short time later on Ferry Road after running away from the scene , Ms McManus told the court . The court heard Fones was transferred to the Royal Preston Hospital to have the knife surgically removed . Neither brother suffered any long-term injury , the court was told . Fones told officers in police interview he was ' scared for his life ' and that ' he may have gone too far ' when acting in ' self-defence ' facing a ' fight or flight situation ' , the court heard . In mitigation for Allen , defence barrister Louise Watson , said : " They had both been drinking to excess in the early hours of Boxing Day . " The trigger event from my client 's perspective is too much alcohol consumed when something was said at his mother 's address . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " I do n't think either is blaming the other . He is fully ashamed of himself for his disgraceful behaviour . He wants to rebuild bridges with his brother . " He has a secure and stable address and is in full-time employment having moved to Liverpool from Barrow . All the signs here are he is capable of being rehabilitated . " Defence barrister Anthony Parkinson said Fones ' did not have any desire for his brother to receive an immediate term of imprisonment ' . Mr Parkinson added : " There is no ill-feeling towards one another . It was a silly argument surrounded by drink . " It is extremely fortunate no-one was seriously injured . He is building up a reasonably successful roofing business and his wrist has not presented him with any long-standing problems . " Judge Gioserano added : " This may have started over being something out of nothing but this could have been very serious indeed . " Allen , the knife went through your brother 's wrist . How lucky he was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a result . " Fones , kicking a defenceless man on the ground can easily cause a brain injury -- even if it is only once . " These are somewhat unusual circumstances . However , both of you have mitigation , are remorseful for your behaviour and have largely been law-abiding . " Allen , of Brittarge Brow in Liverpool , received a 12-month custodial sentence suspended for two years with requirements to complete five rehabilitation requirement days and 200 hours of unpaid work . He was also ordered to pay ? 500 in court costs .

Although illness kept him out of training on Friday , the head coach is hopeful Cunha will be ready to start at Chelsea on Monday and the 25-year-old is hoping to build on an excellent season that has seen him score 10 Premier League goals in 20 games . The Brazilian returned from suspension in midweek but was only fit enough to play from the bench at Newcastle - and Pereira has given him areas to improve if he wants to realise his potential .

The Magpies scored two second half goals with simple passes into the box for unmarked forwards and the head coach is adamant his side must defend more intelligently . " We learn every day of our life until the end , " Pereira said . " We can improve every time . We need to look at the last game and understand the way we concede the goals and the way we missed the goals .

Leading AI developers , such as OpenAI and Anthropic , are threading a delicate needle to sell software to the United States military : make the Pentagon more efficient , without letting their AI kill people . Today , their tools are not being used as weapons , but AI is giving the Department of Defense a " significant advantage " in identifying , tracking , and assessing threats , the Pentagon 's Chief Digital and AI Officer , Dr. Radha Plumb , told TechCrunch in a phone interview . " We obviously are increasing the ways in which we can speed up the execution of kill chain so that our commanders can respond in the right time to protect our forces , " said Plumb . The " kill chain " refers to the military 's process of identifying , tracking , and eliminating threats , involving a complex system of sensors , platforms , and weapons . Generative AI is proving helpful during the planning and strategizing phases of the kill @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Pentagon and AI developers is a relatively new one . OpenAI , Anthropic , and Meta walked back their usage policies in 2024 to let U.S. intelligence and defense agencies use their AI systems . However , they still do n't allow their AI to harm humans . " We 've been really clear on what we will and wo n't use their technologies for , " Plumb said , when asked how the Pentagon works with AI model providers . Nonetheless , this kicked off a speed dating round for AI companies and defense contractors . As generative AI proves its usefulness in the Pentagon , it could push Silicon Valley to loosen its AI usage policies and allow more military applications . " Playing through different scenarios is something that generative AI can be helpful with , " said Plumb . " It allows you to take advantage of the full range of tools our commanders have available , but also think creatively about different response options and potential trade offs in an environment where there 's a potential threat , or series @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It 's unclear whose technology the Pentagon is using for this work ; using generative AI in the kill chain ( even at the early planning phase ) does seem to violate the usage policies of several leading model developers . Anthropic 's policy , for example , prohibits using its models to produce or modify " systems designed to cause harm to or loss of human life . " The position that we should never use AI in defense and intelligence settings does n't make sense to me . The position that we should go gangbusters and use it to make anything we want -- up to and including doomsday weapons -- that 's obviously just as crazy . We 're trying to seek the middle ground , to do things responsibly . OpenAI , Meta , and Cohere did not respond to TechCrunch 's request for comment . Anduril CEO Palmer Luckey recently noted on X that the U.S. military has a long history of purchasing and using autonomous weapons systems such as a CIWS turret @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ autonomous weapons systems for decades now . Their use ( and export ! ) is well-understood , tightly defined , and explicitly regulated by rules that are not at all voluntary , " said Luckey . But when TechCrunch asked if the Pentagon buys and operates weapons that are fully autonomous -- ones with no humans in the loop -- Plumb rejected the idea on principle . " No , is the short answer , " said Plumb . " As a matter of both reliability and ethics , we 'll always have humans involved in the decision to employ force , and that includes for our weapon systems . " The word " autonomy " is somewhat ambiguous and has sparked debates all over the tech industry about when automated systems -- such as AI coding agents , self-driving cars , or self-firing weapons -- become truly independent . Plumb said the idea that automated systems are independently making life and death decisions was " too binary , " and the reality was less " science fiction-y . " Rather , she suggested the Pentagon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ humans and machines , where senior leaders are making active decisions throughout the entire process . " People tend to think about this like there are robots somewhere , and then the gonculator a fictional autonomous machine spits out a sheet of paper , and humans just check a box , " said Plumb . " That 's not how human-machine teaming works , and that 's not an effective way to use these types of AI systems . " Comparatively , there 's been a fairly muted response from the AI community . Some AI researchers , such as Anthropic 's Evan Hubinger , say the use of AI in militaries is inevitable , and it 's critical to work directly with the military to ensure they get it right . " If you take catastrophic risks from AI seriously , the U.S. government is an extremely important actor to engage with , and trying to just block the U.S. government out of using AI is not a viable strategy , " said Hubinger in a November post to the online forum LessWrong . " It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you also have to prevent any way that the government could possibly misuse your models .

Previously with Gizmodo , Bloomberg , and MSNBC , Zeff has covered the rise of AI and the Silicon Valley Bank crisis . He is based in San Francisco . When not reporting , he can be found hiking , biking , and exploring the Bay Area 's food scene . |

Scotland 's first cat grooming salon is set to open in Glasgow next month . Purr Salon , located in Morris Business Park , will welcome its first furry clients at the start of February . The 396 sq ft salon will provide a calm destination for cats to attend professional grooming treatments to clean their ears , eyes , and teeth ; brush coats ; remove matted fur ; and get a " pawdicure " nail trim and paw pad massage .

Reasoning
×
The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('we' + 'driven' + 'the luck' + 'out of training and racing'). It implies a prevention interpretation where the subject 'we' has caused 'the luck' to no longer be part of 'training and racing' by means of driving. The verb 'driven' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure, and the NP object 'the luck' can be seen as a causee affected by the action, leading to a change in the state of 'training and racing'. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

One of my prouder moments in cycling was the first time I won a race that was big enough to rank a mention in Cycling Weekly print magazine . I ca n't remember the name of the race , but I know it was in Essex , and from the report I very clearly remember the phrase , " ... was won by in-form Michael Hutchinson " . Michael Hutchinson Cycling Weekly columnist Multiple national champion on the bike and award-winning author Michael Hutchinson writes for CW every week I remember it because " in-form " in this context is code . It meant that Graham Snowdon , who wrote the report in question , had no idea who I was . I was an unfamiliar name , I 'd beaten the guy who was expected to win , so the only explanation was that I had " good form " . There was the strong implication that as soon as this mercurial blessing from the cycling gods had passed , I 'd sink back into obscurity and Graham ( a lovely man , by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ever needing to know anything more about me other than that my name was easy to spell . You used to hear a lot more about form than you do now , not least in the phrase , " Form is temporary , class is permanent , " which was not an aphorism dreamed up by someone who was winning much at the time . Hence you 'd score a decent win somewhere , and one of the old lags would sidle up to you afterwards and say , " You 've got some good form at the moment . " It had an air of mafioso threat about it . " That 's a great FTP you 've got there . Enjoy it while you still can . " I think the reason that " form " is so much less prominent now is that it was most often used to signal something that was close to luck . In the current era , we like to believe we 've driven the luck out of training and racing . If someone wins a race now , knowing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it does n't include the winner , allows you to work out what 's going on . But back in the dark ages , when all you had to go on was a result or two , it was much more difficult . When a rival had form , you cursed them and hoped it would n't last . If it was you that had form , it was much more difficult . You 'd win a few races you did n't quite expect to and start wondering if it was form or if this was in fact a whole new you . Maybe , finally , you 'd gained that 30 watts you 'd been sweating over all these years , and now you 'd never have to give them back . Then , of course , it would go away , and you 'd be back to the previous you , finishing down the field and wondering what had happened . People drove themselves crazy trying to recreate form that seemed to have come from nowhere . They combed through training diaries looking for clues . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ physiology and much to do with religious observance . One miracle was enough to drive a lifetime of conviction . For example , my friend Bernard set a blinding personal best the very day after he 'd ridden from Cambridge to Canterbury and back to watch the Tour de France . For 10 years afterwards , he would repeat this pilgrimage before a big race . Obviously it never worked again , but he remained convinced it was the " other " nine repetitions of this 200-mile recovery ride that were the outlier results .

Under-45s have endured a collective ? 3.5 billion rent increase in the space of two years after landlords passed on high mortgage costs to tenants , according to analysis by Hamptons estate agents . The increase has left young renters with a record overall annual bill of ? 56.2 billion and means that the under-45s are paying two thirds ( 66 per cent ) of rent in Britain , up from 64 per cent in 2023 . It highlights the financial burden borne by younger renters after buy-to-let investors reacted to sharp rises in mortgage interest rates by raising rents in the past two years . The data also shows that the number of young people who are renting has increased significantly as they are priced out of buying a home by more expensive mortgages . The number of under-45s relying on renting rose by 149,000 in the past two years to reach 3.4 million -- the fastest growth in a decade . The rate of rent rises during this period reached its highest level in December 2023 , with an annual rise of 10.2 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to 2 per cent . Hamptons says the problems have been made worse by the end of the government 's Help to Buy scheme on March 31 , 2023 , which had helped 30 per cent of first-time buyers to climb on to the ladder over the previous ten years . The scheme had offered buyers of newly built homes loans of up to 40 per cent of their purchase prices , with no interest payable for five years and ultimately helped 328,000 first-time buyers . Critics had labelled the scheme " help to sell " for developers , accusing it of driving up prices for newbuilds and worsening the housing crisis overall . " Just like rapidly rising house prices , higher interest rates will keep younger generations of tenants renting for longer , " Aneisha Beveridge , head of research at Hamptons , said . In contrast to younger generations , older renters have seen their burden decrease from ? 29.8 billion to ? 29.1 billion in annual rent paid over the past two years . The number of over-45s who are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hamptons says this is because older renters typically find it easier to climb on to the property ladder at a time of more expensive mortgages as their savings pots are bigger . The annual amount of rent paid by all British tenants , regardless of age , rose to a record ? 85.4 billion in 2023-24 , up 71 per cent over the decade . In separate research , Savills says landlords are now " less confident than they were a year ago " and considering selling up in greater numbers because of rising interest rates , increased taxes and the impact of the Renters ' Rights Bill , which strengthens tenants ' rights . The Times reported on Friday that the government was considering loosening mortgage affordability rules to help first-time buyers . Financial regulators are understood to be looking at allowing banks and other lenders greater flexibility to allow " responsible risk-taking " from borrowers . |

The scion of a wealthy dynasty describes how the question of who would take over the billion-pound business tore his family apart . My grandfather built a fund management firm that became immensely successful . It is worth more than ? 1bn . My father worked alongside him and became head of the company . They were both cut from the same cloth . It was assumed that my older brother and I would take the reins when the time came . We were groomed for it . Our lives were a train track set out in front of us . " You 'll go there and there , and then do this . " We operated within very narrow boundaries . I realised later in life that I did not have ambitions growing up , unlike other kids . I grew up steeped in immense wealth . Our home was a manor house worth tens of millions . It had a vast estate . At one point , we had 23 staff working there . My brother , sister and I had six nannies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ owned a fleet of classic cars . We had properties all over the world . We holidayed in Antibes . Growing up , you know no different . Of the people we knew , 95pc were from the same sort of echelon . We all skied in a certain place , mingled at the royal enclosure at Ascot . I became aware of how strange this world was as a teenager and at university -- and found it very frightening . It may seem ungrateful to moan about my upbringing , given the suffering in the world . But it was dysfunctional . My father was a monster in business . He was also the stereotypical competitive dad at sports day -- but times a thousand . There was a toxic competitiveness placed between my brother and I. It began with the trivial : who clears the table the quickest , who gets the best marks , scores the most runs , the most tries . We would have meetings when I was 11 or 12 years old where my father would go through our respective @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sorry loser . This carried through to the business world where he would talk to us both as if we were just cogs in a wheel , strictly based on numbers and how we had both performed . My sister did not receive the same amount of pressure . It was a male thing . I think my father thought he was instilling a stoic steeliness in us . That was how he had been brought up . But it had the precise opposite effect . We were packed off to boarding school , then university . My brother went to Cambridge ; I went to Durham . Then we both went to work for the family firm , where I stayed for 15 years . The burden of my grandfather 's name -- the pressure of success and wealth -- was immense . I never felt capable of taking on this mantle and I knew that my father did not feel that I was capable . I suffered from overwhelming anxiety , guilt and depression , spending sleepless nights worrying about the burden of responsibility @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was inadequate . Succession was the unspoken thing in my family . There was this power play between me and my brother , but we never once discussed it . I was paranoid about showing any form of weakness because I knew I was the weaker one . We did not speak at all for a number of years . We could not be in the same building . This grew and grew and got infinitely worse once we were swallowed up and involved with the firm . Over the years , the gulf between my father and I grew into a chasm . I never had an interaction with him that was not about business . There was never a casual Sunday lunch when we just chatted . It got to the point where we were almost at war . Then one day , we exploded . My brother , father and I held a family meeting that was nuclear in the damage it did to all of us . It started with a frosty conversation with sinister undertones . By the end we were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flying . It was the culmination of years of repressed emotion -- envy , jealousy , hatred , domination , submission . The pot had boiled and boiled , and the lid just came off . The worst thing was not the shouting , it was the things that were said which were so violently emotive that we could not come back from . This was a catalyst that sent me spiralling downwards . In the aftermath of the meeting , my behaviour was shameful and erratic , damaging physically and emotionally to anyone who came near me . There was zero love in me , only hate . My fianc ? e left me . I sought treatment for my mental health , which was immensely helpful . It made me aware of who I was . I know now that I am worthwhile , my own person . I learnt that you can not forget . I can not separate myself from who I am , but I no longer feel a burden to take on this legacy . I 'm now in my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ treatment , I am in a much better place with my family . I am talking to them again .

My father is elderly now and has taken a back seat . I have never watched Succession . I do not want to . I understand the infallible , domineering and incredibly wealthy patriarch all too well . It is a clich ? for a reason . I used to feel a huge amount of guilt when I met other people , I think because my wealth is unearned . It was my grandfather who came from a modest background and made this huge thing out of nothing . I could not claim to have done anything myself . I am still in line to inherit a chunk of my family @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . I now run and fund through my personal wealth an organisation pursuing philanthropic causes around the world -- building infrastructure , schools , hospitals . They say there is no such thing as an unselfish act , I get that . But I have made my own thing and this is something I have done . I feel immensely proud of it . It is a complete 360 from the desires of my family business to make money -- this is giving people money and it gives me an important sense of self-worth . I have three children who are all on a different path to me . They are happy and understand that life is precious and family is the most important thing . I was so wounded by my childhood experiences , and I like to think I have been a better parent because of that . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'opt out of' which is a phrasal verb followed by a gerund, but lacks the necessary NP object that functions as a causee in the construction. Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'opt out of paying attention' involves an intransitive verb 'opt' with no NP object, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it simply describes a choice to not participate in an activity.

Reasoning

The sentence includes the phrase 'been talked out of dating her', which fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Here, 'been talked' corresponds to V1 in passive voice, 'her' is the NP object, and 'dating' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. The interpretation is prevention (preventing someone from dating her), which is one of the valid interpretations for this construction. The verb 'talked' falls under the category of means by verbal persuasion, and the NP object 'her' is a causee participating in the event described by 'dating her'.

The sentence includes the phrase 'been talked out of dating her', which fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Here, 'been talked' corresponds to V1 in passive voice, 'her' is the NP object, and 'dating' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. This instance gives rise to a prevention interpretation, as it implies that someone prevented the boyfriends from dating her by means of talking. The NP object 'her' functions as a causee, and the construction aligns with the grammatical properties outlined.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('his mate talked him out of going on a date with me'). It involves a prevention interpretation (his mate prevented him from going on a date with me by means of talking). The verb 'talked' fits into the category of verbs that appear in the V1 slot (by means of verbal persuasion). The NP object 'him' functions as a causee, and the sentence can be paraphrased to show the prevention interpretation, making it a clear instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'made a career out of building people's self-esteem' does not involve a causee NP object that participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the means by which the subject has built his career, which is not the focus of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It discusses objections and concerns regarding a development's impact, but there is no verb in the V1 slot acting on an NP object with an out of VP2[-ing] predicate that would induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

CGI showing how the home could look , which has been included in a report to the development management committee Plans for a new home in Appleton with ' neo-classical ' architecture look set to be approved . An application proposing the demolition of an existing dwellinghouse , 8 Delphfields Road , and the erection of a replacement ' self-build ' dwellinghouse with associated works , will come before Warrington Borough Council 's development management committee on Thursday . It is being recommended for approval , subject to conditions and a legal agreement . ' Key reasons ' given for the recommendation include that the principle of a replacement house in an established residential area is ' acceptable ' , the proposed replacement dwellinghouse would ' not have an unacceptable impact ' on the local character , and there would ' not be any unacceptable adverse impacts ' upon residential amenity . The application site relates to a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ according to a report to the committee . " Delphfields is an established residential highway , " it says . " It is typified by large , detached dwellinghouses positioned on spacious plots set back from the highway . " Most of these are , like the application property , of inter-war construction of varying styles with detached dwellings of a more modern construction further to the west . " The proposed works would see the demolition and rebuilding of the property to accommodate a six-bedroom property , utilising some of the original footprint of no 8 . " The building is to have a neo-classical architecture with a forward portico and brick construction . " The new dwelling is to have a central two-storey core and a second floor being in the loft , with wings either side and a forward garage/annex .

Appleton Parish Council has objected to the proposal due to ' overlooking/intrusion of privacy ' with regard to 24 and 26 Tynwald Drive , and ' overshadowing/loss off light ' with regard to the neighbouring 10 Delphfields Road . The report to the committee highlights that the proposed development is considered to meet the criteria for a self-build development and exemption from biodiversity net gain ( BNG ) . The application is being recommended for approval , subject to conditions and a legal agreement . And in the event that a signed , ' satisfactory unilateral undertaking ' has not been received three months after this resolution , that the application is reviewed by the development manager and if ' no meaningful progress ' is being made , then delegated authority is given to the development manager to refuse the application in the absence of a unilateral undertaking , without which the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in relation to BNG .

There is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

Sting is next slated to perform on February 8 at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis , Indiana , according to his tour dates . Despite the news that he has been forced to pull out of several appearances due to illness , Sting has always prided himself on his health and fitness . The star has previously credited his amazing shape to his macrobiotic diet , which consists of a lot of vegetables and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that contain preservatives . The diet also centres around low consumption of meat , dairy and sugar . Sting and his wife Trudie Styler moved their family to the Lake House Farm in Wiltshire in 1991 , and adopted a self-sufficient diet , growing organic veggies ever since . The singer 's family own a flock of free range chickens , as well as their own trout lake and even bee hives for honey . In her 1999 book , The Lake House Cookbook , Trudie wrote : ' I decided that I would only be satisfied if I knew exactly what we were putting on our plates . ' She also revealed that the couple enjoy a conscious approach to eating , and believe that the way ' we treat our own bodies is by extension the way we treat the planet .

The Roxanne singer started practising yoga in his late thirties and has now been practising it for more than 30 years ( pictured in 2003 ) In 2003 , he told The Guardian : ' I drink alcohol . I do n't smoke anything legal . I drink coffee . I like chocolate and ice cream . But apart from that I 'm really healthy . ' He is also well known for his love of yoga , which he has been doing for more than three decades . He admitted in an interview with his yoga instructor when he was 43 that he came to yoga late in life , aged 38-39 . According to a transcript of the interview shared on White 's White Lotus retreat website , the singer revealed he tried other fitness regimes before trying yoga . ' I have been through various fitness regimes before , you know . I used to run about five miles a day and I did aerobics for a while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a performer and all of those things help me to perform . ' But it was n't until I met Danny Paradise , who became my mentor in Yoga , that I started the practice which I feel I will stay with for the rest of my life , ' he added . When he hit 60 , he told Energy Times : ' I perform on stage in much the same way I did when I was in my 20s or teens , and I 'm doing it just as efficiently . Sting gave fans an insight into his daily routing in 2021 , and showed off the secret to his flat stomach with his exercise called a ' perpetual crunch ' on TikTok ' Two decades of yoga has given me two extra decades of this career . I would n't be able to do it if I was out of shape , ' he added . The singer is s dedicated to the practice and he is known to do his yoga even when away on tour . In 2021 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his good looks were due to ' vanity , and a little bit of discipline , ' before adding , ' I studied yoga for 30 years . But everything becomes yoga after a while . ' On top of yoga , the singer also revealed he ' swims every day , I like to walk , and I sing . ' The same year , he shared the secret to his washboard midriff in a TikTok video where he demonstrated his ' perpetual crunch . ' The Message In A Bottle hitmaker , 70 , lay on his back tensing and stating ' Getting my tummy nice and hard ' as he showed off his incredible fitness . He urged his fans to take up the Sting perpetual crunch challenge , writing : ' You can do it .

' However , Sting did give more detail about his tantric connection with his wife , with whom he calls his ' church , ' and added that sex was only the surface of a deep meaningful relationship . Trudie and Sting , who have four children together , married in 1992 . He added the practice of tantra was about how you connect to your partner , which can happen different times throughout the day , from the way you look at them to running them a bath of giving them a massage .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'conjured out of nothing' does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate and does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the act of creating something from nothing without the specific grammatical and semantic properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Amid the background screaming , it can be hard to hear the individual yells . So perhaps , such has been the overwhelming shock and awe of Donald Trump arriving at the White House , you missed the moment where he abruptly , if briefly , became one of the 25 richest people on Earth . I can explain , but it will involve words such as " cryptocurrency " , " memecoin " and " blockchain " , and I have learnt from bitter experience that these are not always words that incline readers to read much more . So instead I shall ask you to imagine that before arriving at No 10 , Sir Keir Starmer had said a lot of very positive things about investing in wine . And that during the interlude between winning the election and meeting the King he had launched his own " Keir Starmer " branded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all at once . Then , partly because of just how much Starmer 's fans love him ( it 's a thought experiment ; humour me ) and also because investing in the wine of the guy who is about to set all the rules for wine might seem a smart wine move , imagine that this $300 million of wine began to change hands , in something of a wine-investor , price-surge frenzy . Also , imagine this was actually only 20 per cent of the wine Starmer had made , which meant the other 80 per cent still in his cellars was , if only on paper , now worth slightly shy of $60 billion . Whereupon Lady Starmer launched her own wine , too . This is basically what the Trumps did , minus the wine . That would have been hard , because wine needs to exist . Instead , they did it with cryptocurrency , which does n't . Having championed the concept of crypto for months , including promising to amass a US government stockpile , Trump launched his own bitcoin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( $Melania ) on Sunday . As with all crypto coins , they are just code ; shares which are a real-world share of nothing at all . Yet both , in a flash , were worth billions . " A fool and his money are soon parted , " you may think , and you 'd be right . It 's also true that a fool who spent about ? 200 on bitcoin in early 2013 ( like me ! ) and then ( unlike me ) held on to it today would have made almost ? 2 million . ( Alas , I used a part of it -- worth ? 85,000 today -- to buy daughter a bunk bed . ) This , despite critics shouting " bubble " from the word go . There are cryptocurrencies , though , and cryptocurrencies . Or , in industry parlance , there are bitcoins and " shitcoins " . Trump 's are the latter . Designed for novelty and mad speculation , they now rub shoulders with DOGE ( beloved by Elon Musk and inspired @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " . There 's also no reason to assume those withheld hoards of $Trump and $Melania virtual coins will ever be sold at current prices , or anything like them . So it 's even possible that the murky , Trump-affiliated companies behind all this end up profiting by not much more than the mere $300 million they conjured out of nothing on day one . Bad day at the office , huh ? According to one cryptocurrency journalist , Trump 's memecoin ploy represents " historic grift " against his base . To his former spokesman Anthony Scaramucci -- himself , inevitably , now a crypto entrepreneur -- it is " Idi Amin level corruption " and potentially " a clearing station for bribery " . The immediate heist , though , is only the beginning . Bitcoin , still far and away the most significant part of the whole crypto phenomenon , has always been a political project . Created in 2009 by a founder who remains untraced , it has embedded in its code a headline from this very newspaper , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " . A response to the quantitative easing which followed the financial crash , it was an attempt to create a new , safer sort of money , independent from banks and governments forever more . Alas , anarchy is n't selective . Before long , bitcoin was best known as the currency you could buy drugs with . This week , Trump pardoned Ross Ulbricht , jailed for life in 2013 for being behind the Silk Road marketplace , a sort of eBay for drugs , guns and general crime that set the template for dark web commerce . It 's certainly arguable that Ulbricht 's sentence was excessive but the real question is why Trump cared . He told Ulbricht 's mother he acted " in honour of her and the Libertarian Movement , which supported me so strongly " . Not all crypto-enthusiasts , though , are radical libertarians . Many -- the ones who rejoiced at Trump 's promise of a Federal Bitcoin Reserve -- yearn for more , not less , official embrace as a pathway towards crypto becoming a normalised part of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's memecoin , seeing it as a reinforcement of the idea that this whole arena is one of mad , profiteering exploitation . Today they may worry they 've been played for mugs . And they should . In time , Trump may give the crypto bros the sort of policies they want . These wo n't be worth much , though , if they do n't outlaw precisely what he just did . Because for him , it would appear , regulatory impotence is the whole point . Replace ordinary money with lawless crypto and it 's not just the guys who want to dodge oversight who benefit , be they drug dealers or people just dodging their taxes . Far more so , it 's the billionaire class , now free from having to worry about central banks , or the taxman or even governments themselves . So forget what happens down in the trenches , where it 's just another casino or trading floor , with winners and losers and scammers and marks . Instead , look up top . Here , now , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now they 're winning more . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'generate out of investing' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The symbolism of the state-owned British Business Bank 's chief executive opening the London stock market on Wednesday morning should not be lost on the employees of the City firms who see him standing on the balcony . Louis Taylor sits atop an ? 8 billion economic development agency that is taking an ever-larger role in the economy and is even starting to back some of Britain 's most promising companies that could list on the stock market in future . The bank has become one of the chief arbiters of how the country funds ambitious businesses , cajoling the private sector to join it making money from debt and equity deals , the latter might otherwise shun as too risky . It is a mark of how far City-based financiers have fallen from their 1980s pomp that they look to taxpayers to give them the confidence to act . Louis Taylor , the bank 's chief executive , insists it is " not squeezing out US venture money " The bank 's reach is all the more remarkable given that it did n't exist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Covid-era emergency loan guarantee schemes , its programmes -- provided through 200 local delivery partners -- have handed loans and loan guarantees to 206,000 businesses and invested in 3,000 companies , making it Britain 's largest venture investor . The bank estimates that it helps one in every 260 businesses in the country each year . It credits itself with creating 250,000 more jobs than would have been possible if the companies it has backed had to rely on their own resources . The business secretary Jonathan Reynolds said : " Its impact is clear ... the bank 's success shows how public investment and private ambition can deliver lasting value for the nation . " If its impact is clear , its reach is certainly growing -- the ? 700 million in public money it deployed in the year to March 2024 was five times the amount it did in its first year . Rachel Reeves , the chancellor , has since agreed to let it reinvest the returns from its loan book and venture investments rather than face the risk of the Treasury @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . The bank is also spearheading British Growth Partnership ( BGP ) , a key initiative from the so-called Mansion House reforms that will secure all the necessary regulatory approvals to go live " soon " , according to Taylor . The initiative will result in UK pension funds such as Aegon UK and NatWest Cushon -- both workplace pension providers -- allocating more of their funds in a special vehicle to back British companies . Overtime it could unlock billions of pounds in venture capital and mean less reliance on overseas investors , such as American firms . The bank is putting up about 20 per cent of the initial funds in BGP . " There has always been overseas money in venture and we are not squeezing out US venture money . What we want to see is some counterbalance from UK institutions to that weight of overseas money , " Taylor , a former banker at Standard Chartered Bank , said . In a study to mark its 10th anniversary , the bank has worked out just how successful it has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the bank is adamant that it crowds in private sector activity that would otherwise not happen . Having committed ? 6.3 billion in public money , and created contingent liabilities of another ? 10 billion in loan guarantees , it says it attracts ? 4 for every ? 1 of public money committed . The ratio falls to ? 2.60 for every ? 1 when stripping those loan guarantees out . Its assessment has not included the billions of pounds in Covid-era loans that it administered , supporting 1.7 million businesses . In terms of actual return on the public money it has committed , Taylor says he has far exceeded the minimum set by his Treasury bosses : despite its need to support businesses across the country , it says it earned an average annual return of 4.2 per cent to March last year , over a ten-year period when the government 's medium-term cost of capital averaged 1.3 per cent . Its venture capital activities , which include regionally focused funds such as the ? 660 million Northern Powerhouse II fund , have clocked up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ described as average for the industry and good given the bank provides subsidies on some of its investments . The bank launched an investment fund aimed at driving the growth of smaller businesses in the North of England Taylor says the idea is always for the bank to step back when the market failure is corrected . For example , an early mandate was to increase the number of suppliers of finance to businesses in the wake of the global financial crisis and the state bailouts of NatWest and Lloyds . This shift has happened quite spectacularly . Last year 59 per cent of debt funding for small and medium-sized businesses came from new lenders such as Starling Bank , Funding Circle and Thin Cats . In contrast , Barclays , NatWest , Lloyds , HSBC and Santander had provided more than 90 per cent of all new lending to SMEs in 2009 . Taylor highlighted that of the 60 or so new banking licences issued since the financial crisis , about 40 are to companies that lend to SMEs . Initially the bank @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them compete with the incumbents . " Their unproven business models in the early days did need some support . We have good examples of where we weened those challenges off our support as their business models have been proven . Funding Circle would be an example of that . It is now a mainstream SME lender , " Taylor said . " We are seeking to be catalytic to the private market , to crowd money in and not seeking to squeeze money out . " On the equity side of its activities , Taylor says its regional funds have encouraged some of its fund managers to establish offices in regional hubs . " Our purpose there is as much to demonstrate the returns you can generate out of investing in the regions of the UK , as it is helping the companies themselves . We have in mind to leave the market in better shape than when we found it when we , at some point , recognise that we have had as big a catalytic impact as we are going to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'the Welsh Government, Cardiff Council and the Principality Stadium' is the NP subject, 'ruled' is V1, 'the city' is the NP object, and 'out of applying to be a host city in 2023' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also gives rise to a prevention interpretation, as the subject is preventing the city from applying to be a host city. The verb 'ruled' can be classified under the means of exerting force or pressure, fitting one of the categories of verbs that appear in the V1 slot. The NP object 'the city' can be seen as a causee in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Most people in Wales would probably love to be able to cheer on a Welsh entry at the Eurovision Song Contest . Countries around the world are represented , and while there is a UK entry , Wales has never had its own song take to the stage . A petition was previously submitted to the Senedd 's petitions committee called " Prepare a bid for Wales to compete in the Eurovision Song Contest " . It said : " Wales is known around the world as " The Land of Song " , and we have a rich culture of music and performance which is recognised and celebrated internationally . Wales should have the opportunity to be represented at Eurovision as a nation in its own right . Therefore , we call on the Welsh Government to work with S4C and other relevant bodies to prepare a bid for Wales to compete in the Eurovision Song Contest .

The letter , from Bakel Walden , reads : " Participation in the Eurovision Song Contest , and other Eurovision live events , is limited to public broadcasters which are members of the European Broadcasting Union . While S4C in Wales is a valued member of the EBU and has taken part twice in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest and once in Eurovision Choir , the BBC has taken part in the Eurovision Song Contest since 1957 and represents the whole of the United Kingdom at the event .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'take the hassle out of cleaning', where 'cleaning' is a noun (gerund) rather than a VP[-ing] predicate, and there is no NP object functioning as a causee. Additionally, it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

This guide rounds up the best Dyson vacuums for a range of use cases and budgets . This brand is known for its meticulous engineering , creating vacuums that are powerful , extremely maneuverable , and pack clever features to help take the hassle out of cleaning . We rate Dyson models to be amongst the very best vacuum cleaners on the market . We 've personally tested all of Dyson 's vacuums , including every model featured in this ranking . ( We 've also reviewed plenty of alternatives from competitor brands , so we know how Dyson 's models compare in the wider market . ) For each review , we run standardized cleaning tasks to assess the vacuum 's cleaning power , but we also look at things like battery life , ease of use and maneuverability , how useful any extra tools are , and if it offers good value for money . Right now , we think the best Dyson vacuum for most people is the Dyson V15 Detect . This is one down from the newest flagship , and offers outstanding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ability to adjust suction based on how dirty the floor is . Our runner-up is the V11 , which forgoes some of the V15 's fancier features but is still a supremely capable cleaner , and is a little cheaper . Dyson is widely considered to make the best cordless vacuums on the market , although it 's facing increasing competition from Shark , in terms of price and value for money if not outright quality . Check out the best Shark vacuums , or see how the brands compare in our Shark vs Dyson showdown . All clear ? Read on for our pick of the best Dyson vacuums you can buy right now . The best Dyson vacuum for most people right now is the Dyson V15 Detect . In our tests , we found it offers the best balance of price to features , and will suit most people 's cleaning needs . It boasts clever automation features to take the hassle out of vacuuming . The main Motorbar floorhead has sensors that alert it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dirty it is , and the vacuum can then adjust suction in response . The screen on the main body of the vacuum will then show you exactly what it 's sucking up , as it does so . The latter feature might not be absolutely essential , but it does mean you can be sure the patch of floor you 're cleaning is clear of dust before you move on . There 's also an upgraded Fluffy floorhead for hard floors ; with added lasers to illuminate dust that might otherwise go missed . Aside from those special features , you 're getting absolutely excellent cleaning power . There 's a considered and usable design , long battery life , well-designed accessories for tackling a range of cleaning tasks , and a very easy-to-maneuver floorhead that 'll be able to get into all the nooks and crannies . An outstanding all-rounder . Alternatives In terms of the lineup , the V15 Detect was the flagship model that followed the V11 ( #2 ) . Price-wise , nowadays there often is n't a massive gap between the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as well as those dirt-detecting features mentioned above . However , if there is a big price difference , the V11 is still well worth considering -- see exactly what you 'd be sacrificing by going for the model down in our Dyson V15 Detect vs V11 comparison . The V15 Detect is one down from the latest and greatest Dyson ( the Gen5detect at #3 ) . That one is slightly better in terms of specs , but a significant jump up in price -- we do n't think it 'll be worth it for most people . See exactly how the two compare in our Dyson V15 vs Gen5detect article . + Excellent suction + Relatively reasonable price + Auto mode detects floor type - No dirt detection - Less power than newer models The Dyson V11 holds second place in our best Dyson vacuum list , and it 's a close-run thing . Released in 2019 , this model does n't have fancier features such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Gen5detect at #3 ) , but it does have excellent cleaning powers . The price varies depending on where you live and the deals available when you buy . If it 's roughly the same price as the V15 , that 's a better vacuum . However , if there 's a big price gap , the V11 will be an excellent choice and more than meet most people 's needs . There are three suction modes : Eco for a lower-powered maximum cleaning time , Boost for when you need extra power and Auto , which adapts to the type of floor you 're cleaning . In our tests , we found Auto to work particularly well , and even the supposedly lower-powered Eco was able to effectively deal with large amounts of debris and pet hair . There 's a handy LCD screen that tells you how much juice it has left ( in hours and minutes ) , informs you which mode you 're in and alerts you of any blockages , plus how to clear them . Other features include an excellent hour-long runtime , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The model before the V11 is the Dyson Cylone V10 , but it 's a bit of a step down to that model -- it has a less efficient motor , no LDC screen , and no auto-adjustment based on floor type . For more info , head to our Dyson V10 vs V11 article . + Longest battery life + Most powerful option + Larger bin size + Only model with one-press button operation - Heaviest cordless option - Most expensive stick vac If you want the best cordless stick Dyson that money can buy , then you 'll want to look at the Gen5detect range -- which includes the Gen5detect , plus the Gen5detect Complete , Outsize and Absolute -- and boasts Dyson 's most powerful cordless motor , running at 135,000rpm . The only model to deliver better suction is the corded upright Ball Animal ( #5 ) . It has a power button rather than the trigger of older models ( do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sessions -- it 's a perpetual complaint of ours that Dyson does n't even include a clip to lock its trigger in place for longer vacuuming sessions . ) There 's also a bigger battery that Dyson says lasts for 70 minutes -- we managed to squeeze 75 minutes out of it . You can turn the Gen5detect into a handheld with just a press of a button , there 's an integrated crevice tool for getting in hard to reach areas , an improved motor with 262 air watts of suction and a brighter and easier-to-see Fluffy Optic floor head laser , which highlights dust with precision . This is the most powerful Dyson cordless vacuum -- the only thing to pack more of a punch in this list is the upright Ball Animal 3 at #3 ( both feature in our best vacuum for pet hair guide ) . Unfortunately , that power comes with a compromise : weight . This is the heaviest Dyson cordless , and feels noticeably weighty for a stick vacuum -- especially when used in handheld mode . However , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ While the innovation and engineering go some way to justifying it , the fact remains that many of the extra features are nice-to-haves rather than essentials , and for many people it just wo n't be worth the extra cost . It 's still a brilliant piece of machinery , though . + Easy to maneuver + Most affordable stick vac + Lightest stick vacuum - Shorter battery life - Smaller dust bin - No auto suction mode The V8 launched in 2016 and has dropped in price since then , making it the best cheap vacuum currently available if you have to have a Dyson . It 's also the lightest model on this list and converts easily into a handheld , so it 's ideal for cleaning stairs or the car . You 're still getting that high build quality and very easy-to-maneuver floorhead , and it 's the lightest Dyson cordless vacuum too . At 40 minutes the battery life is shorter than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a trigger that needs to be continually depressed . All that , plus the smaller-than-usual dust cup , make this model better suited to those with smaller homes . Despite its age , the V8 has decent suction , powered by two-tier radial cyclones and a motor spinning at 110,000rpm . In our tests , we found the it worked particularly well on carpet . There 's no Fluffy floorhead included as standard , so it 's worth investing in one as an extra if you have a lot of hard floors ( our Dyson tools guide explains more about the various attachment options ) . Alternatives Bargain hunters might also want to consider the Dyson Cyclone V10 -- it boasts 125,000rpm so may be better value ( see exactly how the two compare in our Dyson V8 vs V10 article ) . In 2024 , a mysterious Dyson Digital Slim started popping up . This is n't a flagship model ( and indeed , it seems to come and go from Dyson 's website ) , but looks like a pared-back , cheaper stick vacuum option @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but it 's worth being aware of if you 're after Dyson engineering on a budget . + Huge bin capacity + Outstanding suction + Amazing on carpets - Big and cumbersome - Loud - Corded Dyson is known for it cordless stick vacuums , but there are a handful of outliers in the range ; one being the Ball Animal 3 ( known as just the Ball Animal in the UK and Australia ) . This is the only upright vacuum in the current lineup . If suction is your priority , you wo n't get anything like the power of this beast from a cordless stick vacuum . If you want something heavy-duty to handle large volumes of dirt or sticky pet hair , it 's an outstanding choice -- and the large dust up means you wo n't end up having to empty it every two minutes ( we rate it amongst the best upright vacuums on the market ) . On test @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ carpet . In fact , at times it was a little too sucky , requiring a fair bit of effort to push on deep-pile carpet . The ball also means handling is good , and you 'll be able to pivot into corners with ease . However , there are compromises . One is that it 's corded . Even though said cord is long -- 30ft / 10m -- if you 're used to cordless models , you 'll probably be a little irritated to find yourself tethered to a wall once again . The second is that it 's really very heavy and bulky . Our tester found it a real pain to heave over thresholds and up stairs -- something to bear in mind if you have a household with a trickier layout or multiple floors . + Lightweight and maneuverable + Handles wet-dry spillages + Self-clean mode - Struggles with uneven floors - Not as good as a vacuum for dust - A @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only dedicated wet cleaner . There 's no suction here , but instead it adds water , and agitates dirt using its microfiber rollers . The USP compared to most other wet cleaners is that it separates the wet and dry waste to make disposal and maintenance easier . There 's a self-clean cycle to take care of daily upkeep , too , although you will need to supplement this with periodical deep cleans . Like the best Dyson vacuums , the WashG1 is extremely easy to steer and maneuver , and it 's cordless so you wo n't be tethered to a wall . The dock is compact and unimposing . During our tests , it worked extremely well on perfectly flat floors , cleaning a range of spillage types with minimal effort required . The downsides are that it ca n't really cope with uneven flooring , and wo n't get into grouting ( this is an issue with most wet cleaners on the market , not just Dyson 's model ) . Our tester also found the water tanks could be fiddly to close properly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ issues , although given the sky-high price point , we 'd expect it to be pretty much perfect . Alternatives The WashG1 is n't suitable for carpet , so if you want a multi-use appliance , consider the V15s Detect Submarine ( #8 ) instead , which has separate floorheads for vacuuming and wet cleaning . If you want something with suction , head to our roundup of the best wet-and-dry vacuums you can buy . + Good suction + Great at cleaning edges + Four cleaning modes - Compares poorly to alternatives - Battery life subpar for large homes - Ca n't mop The Dyson 360 Vis Nav is the only robovac Dyson currently offers . With 65 air watts of suction plus a motor that spins at 110,000rpm , it packs a decent amount of power . Thanks to the unusual D-shaped build and automatically extending side duct , it 's particularly good at vacuuming room edges and around furniture legs . It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Quick , and while we found that the super-charged Boost tends to drain the battery ( it lasted around 15 minutes ) , in Auto mode its performance really impressed . There were , however , a few niggles . The D-shaped body does n't really work around corners and the Dyson 360 Vis Nav lacks features offered by other best robot vacuums in this price bracket , such as mopping or self-emptying bin . Its navigation is also a little unreliable -- it has a tendency to stop in the middle of a room , get its bearings and then carry on , which can be a bit disconcerting . But if you have money to spend , want a Dyson robot vacuum cleaner and you care about having super-clean edges of your rooms , then the 360 Vis Nav could be the vacuum for you . + Wet-dry Dyson + Easy to handle + Improved Fluffy Optic - Can leak dirty water - Integrated crevice tool not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In 2023 , Dyson finally announced its first wet-dry vacuum . With advanced HEPA filtration and a new Submarine wet roller head , the Dyson V15s Detect Submarine is adept at cleaning up a range of wet and dry spills . The base model of the Dyson V15s Detect Submarine comes with a separate crevice tool for getting in hard to reach areas , which works brilliantly . Note that some versions of the Complete and Absolute iterations have this tool integrated , which our tester found did n't work as well . There 's also an improved Fluffy Optic tool for cleaning hard floors , with an LED light rather than the laser of older Dysons , though again this is n't available with all models . There are , however , a few flaws . We found the V15s Detect Submarine left some streaks when we paused while cleaning , though it was fine in continuous use . The dirty water tank can leak and the LED display only shows the clean water level , so it 's hard to tell when the dirty liquid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its dedicated wet cleaner Dyson WashG1 , which has transparent water tanks ( but note , that one is not suitable for carpets ) . Overall , if you want a Dyson for keeping your hard floors clean then this model is very efficient , though we hope to see its flaws mentioned addressed in future models . Dyson 's naming models can be a little confusing . For each model , there 's a standard iteration , ie. Gen5detect , and then there are different model names i.e. Gen5detect Outsize/Absolute , which denote variations in tools , attachments , size or where the product is available . Note that these names can also be combined i.e. Outsize Absolute . The main ones are : Absolute : Absolute Dysons are usually only sold via Dyson 's website and include special accessories/features such as extra heads/advanced HEPA filtering . They may also be a special color . Outsize : As the name suggests , Outsize Dysons are bigger than standard ones , with bigger bins and wider @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( or sometimes Outsize Plus ) , which comes with extra heads/tools . Outsize iterations are typically not available in the UK . Slim : This one is also fairly self-explanatory , Slim denotes slimmer variations of Dyson . Animal : Animal Dysons include accessories such as the pet groom tool , which picks up hair from medium/long-haired pets . Whichever version you choose , make sure you look carefully at what 's included , as this can vary between regions and some attachments are only available direct from Dyson . The best Dyson vacuum cleaners get subjected to the same rigorous testing regime that we apply to all the vacuums we review . We start off by evaluating how well each vacuum cleaner performs at picking up fine dust and larger debris , as well as testing how well the main floorhead ( and any appropriate attachments ) cope with hair . We also test all included accessories , as well as taking measurements of how much noise each vacuum makes at all power settings . ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of cordless vacuums we 'll run each machine continuously at both its lowest and highest power settings , and measure exactly how long it takes for the battery to run out .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'take the hassle out of vacuuming' does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes removing a general inconvenience related to vacuuming, which does not align with the specific semantic and syntactic requirements of the transitive out of -ing construction.

This guide rounds up the best Dyson vacuums for a range of use cases and budgets . This brand is known for its meticulous engineering , creating vacuums that are powerful , extremely maneuverable , and pack clever features to help take the hassle out of cleaning . We rate Dyson models to be amongst the very best vacuum cleaners on the market . We 've personally tested all of Dyson 's vacuums , including every model featured in this ranking . ( We 've also reviewed plenty of alternatives from competitor brands , so we know how Dyson 's models compare in the wider market . ) For each review , we run standardized cleaning tasks to assess the vacuum 's cleaning power , but we also look at things like battery life , ease of use and maneuverability , how useful any extra tools are , and if it offers good value for money . Right now , we think the best Dyson vacuum for most people is the Dyson V15 Detect . This is one down from the newest flagship , and offers outstanding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ability to adjust suction based on how dirty the floor is . Our runner-up is the V11 , which forgoes some of the V15 's fancier features but is still a supremely capable cleaner , and is a little cheaper . Dyson is widely considered to make the best cordless vacuums on the market , although it 's facing increasing competition from Shark , in terms of price and value for money if not outright quality . Check out the best Shark vacuums , or see how the brands compare in our Shark vs Dyson showdown . All clear ? Read on for our pick of the best Dyson vacuums you can buy right now . The best Dyson vacuum for most people right now is the Dyson V15 Detect . In our tests , we found it offers the best balance of price to features , and will suit most people 's cleaning needs . It boasts clever automation features to take the hassle out of vacuuming . The main Motorbar floorhead has sensors that alert it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dirty it is , and the vacuum can then adjust suction in response . The screen on the main body of the vacuum will then show you exactly what it 's sucking up , as it does so . The latter feature might not be absolutely essential , but it does mean you can be sure the patch of floor you 're cleaning is clear of dust before you move on . There 's also an upgraded Fluffy floorhead for hard floors ; with added lasers to illuminate dust that might otherwise go missed . Aside from those special features , you 're getting absolutely excellent cleaning power . There 's a considered and usable design , long battery life , well-designed accessories for tackling a range of cleaning tasks , and a very easy-to-maneuver floorhead that 'll be able to get into all the nooks and crannies . An outstanding all-rounder . Alternatives In terms of the lineup , the V15 Detect was the flagship model that followed the V11 ( #2 ) . Price-wise , nowadays there often is n't a massive gap between the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as well as those dirt-detecting features mentioned above . However , if there is a big price difference , the V11 is still well worth considering -- see exactly what you 'd be sacrificing by going for the model down in our Dyson V15 Detect vs V11 comparison . The V15 Detect is one down from the latest and greatest Dyson ( the Gen5detect at #3 ) . That one is slightly better in terms of specs , but a significant jump up in price -- we do n't think it 'll be worth it for most people . See exactly how the two compare in our Dyson V15 vs Gen5detect article . + Excellent suction + Relatively reasonable price + Auto mode detects floor type - No dirt detection - Less power than newer models The Dyson V11 holds second place in our best Dyson vacuum list , and it 's a close-run thing . Released in 2019 , this model does n't have fancier features such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Gen5detect at #3 ) , but it does have excellent cleaning powers . The price varies depending on where you live and the deals available when you buy . If it 's roughly the same price as the V15 , that 's a better vacuum . However , if there 's a big price gap , the V11 will be an excellent choice and more than meet most people 's needs . There are three suction modes : Eco for a lower-powered maximum cleaning time , Boost for when you need extra power and Auto , which adapts to the type of floor you 're cleaning . In our tests , we found Auto to work particularly well , and even the supposedly lower-powered Eco was able to effectively deal with large amounts of debris and pet hair . There 's a handy LCD screen that tells you how much juice it has left ( in hours and minutes ) , informs you which mode you 're in and alerts you of any blockages , plus how to clear them . Other features include an excellent hour-long runtime , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The model before the V11 is the Dyson Cylone V10 , but it 's a bit of a step down to that model -- it has a less efficient motor , no LDC screen , and no auto-adjustment based on floor type . For more info , head to our Dyson V10 vs V11 article . + Longest battery life + Most powerful option + Larger bin size + Only model with one-press button operation - Heaviest cordless option - Most expensive stick vac If you want the best cordless stick Dyson that money can buy , then you 'll want to look at the Gen5detect range -- which includes the Gen5detect , plus the Gen5detect Complete , Outsize and Absolute -- and boasts Dyson 's most powerful cordless motor , running at 135,000rpm . The only model to deliver better suction is the corded upright Ball Animal ( #5 ) . It has a power button rather than the trigger of older models ( do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sessions -- it 's a perpetual complaint of ours that Dyson does n't even include a clip to lock its trigger in place for longer vacuuming sessions . ) There 's also a bigger battery that Dyson says lasts for 70 minutes -- we managed to squeeze 75 minutes out of it . You can turn the Gen5detect into a handheld with just a press of a button , there 's an integrated crevice tool for getting in hard to reach areas , an improved motor with 262 air watts of suction and a brighter and easier-to-see Fluffy Optic floor head laser , which highlights dust with precision . This is the most powerful Dyson cordless vacuum -- the only thing to pack more of a punch in this list is the upright Ball Animal 3 at #3 ( both feature in our best vacuum for pet hair guide ) . Unfortunately , that power comes with a compromise : weight . This is the heaviest Dyson cordless , and feels noticeably weighty for a stick vacuum -- especially when used in handheld mode . However , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ While the innovation and engineering go some way to justifying it , the fact remains that many of the extra features are nice-to-haves rather than essentials , and for many people it just wo n't be worth the extra cost . It 's still a brilliant piece of machinery , though . + Easy to maneuver + Most affordable stick vac + Lightest stick vacuum - Shorter battery life - Smaller dust bin - No auto suction mode The V8 launched in 2016 and has dropped in price since then , making it the best cheap vacuum currently available if you have to have a Dyson . It 's also the lightest model on this list and converts easily into a handheld , so it 's ideal for cleaning stairs or the car . You 're still getting that high build quality and very easy-to-maneuver floorhead , and it 's the lightest Dyson cordless vacuum too . At 40 minutes the battery life is shorter than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a trigger that needs to be continually depressed . All that , plus the smaller-than-usual dust cup , make this model better suited to those with smaller homes . Despite its age , the V8 has decent suction , powered by two-tier radial cyclones and a motor spinning at 110,000rpm . In our tests , we found the it worked particularly well on carpet . There 's no Fluffy floorhead included as standard , so it 's worth investing in one as an extra if you have a lot of hard floors ( our Dyson tools guide explains more about the various attachment options ) . Alternatives Bargain hunters might also want to consider the Dyson Cyclone V10 -- it boasts 125,000rpm so may be better value ( see exactly how the two compare in our Dyson V8 vs V10 article ) . In 2024 , a mysterious Dyson Digital Slim started popping up . This is n't a flagship model ( and indeed , it seems to come and go from Dyson 's website ) , but looks like a pared-back , cheaper stick vacuum option @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but it 's worth being aware of if you 're after Dyson engineering on a budget . + Huge bin capacity + Outstanding suction + Amazing on carpets - Big and cumbersome - Loud - Corded Dyson is known for it cordless stick vacuums , but there are a handful of outliers in the range ; one being the Ball Animal 3 ( known as just the Ball Animal in the UK and Australia ) . This is the only upright vacuum in the current lineup . If suction is your priority , you wo n't get anything like the power of this beast from a cordless stick vacuum . If you want something heavy-duty to handle large volumes of dirt or sticky pet hair , it 's an outstanding choice -- and the large dust up means you wo n't end up having to empty it every two minutes ( we rate it amongst the best upright vacuums on the market ) . On test @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ carpet . In fact , at times it was a little too sucky , requiring a fair bit of effort to push on deep-pile carpet . The ball also means handling is good , and you 'll be able to pivot into corners with ease . However , there are compromises . One is that it 's corded . Even though said cord is long -- 30ft / 10m -- if you 're used to cordless models , you 'll probably be a little irritated to find yourself tethered to a wall once again . The second is that it 's really very heavy and bulky . Our tester found it a real pain to heave over thresholds and up stairs -- something to bear in mind if you have a household with a trickier layout or multiple floors . + Lightweight and maneuverable + Handles wet-dry spillages + Self-clean mode - Struggles with uneven floors - Not as good as a vacuum for dust - A @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only dedicated wet cleaner . There 's no suction here , but instead it adds water , and agitates dirt using its microfiber rollers . The USP compared to most other wet cleaners is that it separates the wet and dry waste to make disposal and maintenance easier . There 's a self-clean cycle to take care of daily upkeep , too , although you will need to supplement this with periodical deep cleans . Like the best Dyson vacuums , the WashG1 is extremely easy to steer and maneuver , and it 's cordless so you wo n't be tethered to a wall . The dock is compact and unimposing . During our tests , it worked extremely well on perfectly flat floors , cleaning a range of spillage types with minimal effort required . The downsides are that it ca n't really cope with uneven flooring , and wo n't get into grouting ( this is an issue with most wet cleaners on the market , not just Dyson 's model ) . Our tester also found the water tanks could be fiddly to close properly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ issues , although given the sky-high price point , we 'd expect it to be pretty much perfect . Alternatives The WashG1 is n't suitable for carpet , so if you want a multi-use appliance , consider the V15s Detect Submarine ( #8 ) instead , which has separate floorheads for vacuuming and wet cleaning . If you want something with suction , head to our roundup of the best wet-and-dry vacuums you can buy . + Good suction + Great at cleaning edges + Four cleaning modes - Compares poorly to alternatives - Battery life subpar for large homes - Ca n't mop The Dyson 360 Vis Nav is the only robovac Dyson currently offers . With 65 air watts of suction plus a motor that spins at 110,000rpm , it packs a decent amount of power . Thanks to the unusual D-shaped build and automatically extending side duct , it 's particularly good at vacuuming room edges and around furniture legs . It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Quick , and while we found that the super-charged Boost tends to drain the battery ( it lasted around 15 minutes ) , in Auto mode its performance really impressed . There were , however , a few niggles . The D-shaped body does n't really work around corners and the Dyson 360 Vis Nav lacks features offered by other best robot vacuums in this price bracket , such as mopping or self-emptying bin . Its navigation is also a little unreliable -- it has a tendency to stop in the middle of a room , get its bearings and then carry on , which can be a bit disconcerting . But if you have money to spend , want a Dyson robot vacuum cleaner and you care about having super-clean edges of your rooms , then the 360 Vis Nav could be the vacuum for you . + Wet-dry Dyson + Easy to handle + Improved Fluffy Optic - Can leak dirty water - Integrated crevice tool not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In 2023 , Dyson finally announced its first wet-dry vacuum . With advanced HEPA filtration and a new Submarine wet roller head , the Dyson V15s Detect Submarine is adept at cleaning up a range of wet and dry spills . The base model of the Dyson V15s Detect Submarine comes with a separate crevice tool for getting in hard to reach areas , which works brilliantly . Note that some versions of the Complete and Absolute iterations have this tool integrated , which our tester found did n't work as well . There 's also an improved Fluffy Optic tool for cleaning hard floors , with an LED light rather than the laser of older Dysons , though again this is n't available with all models . There are , however , a few flaws . We found the V15s Detect Submarine left some streaks when we paused while cleaning , though it was fine in continuous use .

Overall , if you want a Dyson for keeping your hard floors clean then this model is very efficient , though we hope to see its flaws mentioned addressed in future models . Dyson 's naming models can be a little confusing . For each model , there 's a standard iteration , ie. Gen5detect , and then there are different model names i.e. Gen5detect Outsize/Absolute , which denote variations in tools , attachments , size or where the product is available . Note that these names can also be combined i.e. Outsize Absolute . The main ones are : Absolute : Absolute Dysons are usually only sold via Dyson 's website and include special accessories/features such as extra heads/advanced HEPA filtering . They may also be a special color . Outsize : As the name suggests , Outsize Dysons are bigger than standard ones , with bigger bins and wider @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( or sometimes Outsize Plus ) , which comes with extra heads/tools .

Dyson 's naming models can be a little confusing . For each model , there 's a standard iteration , ie.

Note that these names can also be combined i.e. Outsize Absolute . The main ones are : Absolute : Absolute Dysons are usually only sold via Dyson 's website and include special accessories/features such as extra heads/advanced HEPA filtering . They may also be a special color . Outsize : As the name suggests , Outsize Dysons are bigger than standard ones , with bigger bins and wider @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( or sometimes Outsize Plus ) , which comes with extra heads/tools .

Whichever version you choose , make sure you look carefully at what 's included , as this can vary between regions and some attachments are only available direct from Dyson . The best Dyson vacuum cleaners get subjected to the same rigorous testing regime that we apply to all the vacuums we review . We start off by evaluating how well each vacuum cleaner performs at picking up fine dust and larger debris , as well as testing how well the main floorhead ( and any appropriate attachments ) cope with hair .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks a clear NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate structure. Additionally, the phrase 'missing out of getting a' does not clearly induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, and the context does not suggest a causer-causee relationship as required by the construction.

A " depraved " man who groomed and raped a teenage girl has been given a sentence of more than 20 years . Christopher Wearing , 42 , embarked on an " extreme course of grooming of a girl aged 13 " said Judge Graham Knowles as he handed down the sentence at Preston Crown Court . The court heard Wearing , of Howard Close , Accrington , posed at a 16-year-old boy who ' worked in cryptocurrency ' to appear attractive to the girl when they chatted online . Wearing began grooming the girl on the social media platform , Wink , and the conversation then moved onto the social media application Kik messenger . Over the course of nine days , they exchanged more than 2,500 messages , which rapidly became disturbing when Wearing bombarded her with sexual messaging which he said was a way of ' showing love ' .

Wearing committed his depraved crimes on the girl during the course of the night , and it only came to a stop when the girl 's mother , who was tracking her daughter 's phone to try and find her , called her . Judge Knowles said : " It 's impossible to know what might have happened had her mother not been tracking her phone and set off , goodness knows in what state of mind .

" Judge Knowles continued : " You manipulated her , you did it with cunning and determination . It was the gravest set of offences . Preston Crown Court Sessions House ( Image : Archive ) " She was a child , she was extremely vulnerable , and you made her yet more vulnerable with your manipulation .

He must serve a minimum of 10 years before he will be eligible to apply to the parole board for release .

A dermatologist has issued a warning about a little-known skin condition that can result from extended exposure to heat sources such as electric blankets , hot water bottles , or even laptops . As energy costs soar , many individuals are opting out of using central heating and instead turning to alternatives like electric blankets , which are relatively inexpensive to operate . Nonetheless , those who frequently use these heating devices are being cautioned about Erythema ab igne ( EAI ) , also known as toasted skin syndrome or hot water bottle rash . This condition has been associated with other heat sources too , including heated car seats and the direct placement of laptops on laps . Dr. Anil Sharma from Sharma Skin and Hair Surgery has shed light on the causes and symptoms of toasted skin syndrome : " It is a skin condition caused by prolonged exposure to low-grade heat sources that are not intense enough to burn but sufficient enough to alter the skin 's structure . The rash has reddish-brown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pattern . Some people might also feel itching or a burning sensation in the affected area . " Exposure to heat in the range of 43 to 47C can cause small but significant changes in the skin . Even though this temperature is n't hot enough to burn you , it still harms the tiny elastic fibres that keep your skin flexible and the small blood vessels near the surface . " Although the rash may appear harmless , repeated exposure can have effects similar to prolonged sun exposure or tanning beds on the skin . This could potentially lead to permanent damage and even increase the risk of certain types of skin cancer over time . Dr. Anil says that treatment is typically straightforward : " In many cases , simply removing the source of heat is enough to allow the skin to recover . Over time , the discoloration often fades , and any irritation typically resolves " . He recommends that individuals frequently exposed to heat sources take measures to protect their skin . For instance , those using hot water bottles could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consider using a tray or similar object to protect their lap . " In some cases people have been recommended over-the-counter products like hydrocortisone 1% cream or retinol products . But I would always recommend consulting with a dermatologist to identify the best treatment plan for your specific condition and body . " he added . In rare cases , toasted skin syndrome has been linked to some types of skin cancer . Dr Anil advises that anyone who notices changes to their skin should get this checked by a doctor : " Even though cancer is an uncommon complication , it 's always wise to have any persistent skin discoloration or texture changes evaluated by a professional .

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('Jean-Claude Juncker') + V1 ('talked') + NP object ('Trump') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('slapping tariffs on European cars'). It also exhibits a prevention interpretation, as Juncker prevented Trump from imposing tariffs by offering to buy more US products. The verb 'talked' fits into the category of verbs that appear in the V1 slot, specifically under 'By means of enticing, flattering, or verbal persuasion'. The NP object 'Trump' is a causee who participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Donald Trump has a crude understanding of trade . " Trade tariffs are the greatest , " he has said , adding that " tariff " is " the most beautiful word in the dictionary .

His initial targets are China , Mexico and Canada , but his ire will likely fall on Europe soon . " They do n't take our cars . They do n't take our farm products .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'gets' is transitive but the object 'quite a kick' does not function as a causee, and the phrase 'out of surprising people' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the subject's enjoyment derived from the action of surprising people, which is not consistent with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

With his dashing beard , relaxed open-neck shirts and crisp white trainers , the Prince of Wales is the epitome of a thoroughly modern royal . And while he has always worked hard to carve his own path by supporting a handful of causes which are deeply important to him , rather than hundreds of different charities , it is clear that the Prince has truly come into his own recently . This approach also extends into the touch of informality he brings to his public appearances , whether it is answering the phone in a restaurant , shocking punters by serving burgers in a van or buying a round of drinks at a Wetherspoons pub for a group of Aston Villa supporters . It 's a tactic which continues to see Prince William ranked as one of the most popular - and relatable - members of the Royal Family and something which former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond believes is the key to his ongoing success . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ action the way that he intends to do the job , " Jennie told OK ! . " And that , as he now made clear , is royal with a small r .

He had arranged a meet-up with the Villa regulars and bought them a round of beers . Prince William surprised Aston Villa fans in a Wetherspoons in Birmingham ( Image : Mirror ) The Prince 's approach is refreshing , but Jennie draws comparisons between his way of thinking and that of the late Queen Elizabeth II 's . On the subject of moving with the times , the expert told us : " It 's important for the Royal Family to be in touch as much as possible with the way ordinary people feel and , as the late queen once remarked , deference @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she compared the way governments and the monarchy have to judge public opinion . " She said : ' That consent , ( of the people ) or the lack of it , is expressed for you , Prime Minister , through the ballot box . It is a tough , even brutal , system but at least the message is a clear one for all to read . For us , a Royal Family , however , the message is often harder to read , obscured as it can be by deference , rhetoric or the conflicting currents of public opinion . But read it we must . ' " Jennie added : " I think by deliberately cutting down on the need for deference , William is finding a clearer path to understanding public opinion . And I think his late grandmother would very much approve . " Prince William spoke candidly about his experiences in 2024 ( Image : PA ) In a candid admission last year , Prince William spelled out his future approach to royal duties , describing his plans as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The future king said what mattered to him was " impact philanthropy , collaboration , convening , and helping people " and stressed " empathy " was also important " because I really care about what I do " . He said he hoped to carry out overseas tours with the Princess of Wales , who this autumn returned to royal duties after completing a course of cancer treatment . Asked about a modern approach to the monarchy he appeared to be adopting , William replied : " It 's hard to describe what that is all about , but I can only describe what I 'm trying to do , and that 's I 'm trying to do it differently and I 'm trying to do it for my generation . " The projects he is pursuing , attempting to find solutions to homelessness and major environmental issues , are contemporary issues growing in prominence that are likely to resonate with a younger generation . William explained his aims : " So it 's more about impact philanthropy , collaboration , convening , and helping @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in there as well , because I really care about what I do . It helps impact people 's lives . And I think we could do with some more empathetic leadership around the world . So that 's what I 'm trying to bring , that 's what Catherine is trying to bring as well . " Story Saved You can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'trying to block me out of everything' does not involve a VP2[-ing] predicate, and it does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to describe an action of exclusion without the specific grammatical and semantic properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence includes the phrase 'talk his way out of anything', which fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The NP object 'his way' is a possessive pronoun coreferential with the subject 'he', which is an atypical but acceptable type of NP object in this construction. The interpretation here is a prevention interpretation, as the subject is attempting to prevent a negative outcome by means of talking. This aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Detective Chief Superintendent Tony Blockley said : " He had almost committed the perfect murder because he had covered his tracks and there were no links back to him and no witnesses . " We have no idea why he did it . The only person who knows the answer is Cheetham , but it looks like it was just the thrill of killing somebody . " The investigation that secured the conviction of the gun fanatic - who died in HMP Wakefield in 2020 while serving a 30-year sentence - is now being revisited in tonight 's episode of True Crime Presents : Murder Without Motive on ITV1 . In September 2009 , police were initially baffled when visiting the crime scene - there was no suspect , no witnesses and nothing that would link the killing to Cheetham . Stuart was found a short distance away from Cromford train station after a witness spotted " an arm sticking out the back of the taxi " and pools of blood . DCS Brockley said he had " never seen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , especially due to the way the car had been abandoned with the engine still running and the boot open , allowing the victim 's body to be seen . It was originally believed Stuart Ludlam could have been killed in a ' taxi war'Credit : Facebook He told the documentary : " There 's been no thought about disposing or hiding the body , if somebody 's going to kill somebody why would you leave the car in the middle of the road ? " There were two pools of blood , one by the driver 's door and one by the boot , and a trail of blood between them , suggesting Stuart may have walked or been dragged . There were two bullet casings by the boot and two bullet wounds , which led officers to believe it was " an execution " . DCS Brockley knew they needed to " solve this quickly " because there was " panic amongst the community , thinking there 's a killer on the loose " . They interviewed multiple drivers , performed forensic checks on all of their cars and discovered the row turned out to be " nothing more than an argument " , leading to the theory being canned . From the recovered bullets , analysis revealed striation marks - parallel lines imprinted from when a gun is fired - that " are the equivalent of the fingerprint of a firearm " . It allowed them to identify the weapon as a .22 Rimfire Rifle , which they believed had been adapted due to the marks on the bullet , but there were " thousands licenced in and around Derbyshire " . He wanted to find the pleasure of killing someone and it turned out to be Stuart Ludlam Prosecutor Peter Joyce QC Police were able to track down the phone number that called the cab rank that unknowingly summoned father-of-three Stuart to his death @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ burner phone . They narrowed down where it was bought through triangulation - a process that allows triangle-shaped areas to be identified where a phone was switched on , using multiple cell towers . It revealed that the burner phone had been bought in a Morrisons supermarket nearby and that Cheetham had attempted a ' dummy run ' of the killing by calling the cab number from the murder scene weeks earlier . The phone had been activated in the car park " shortly after it was purchased " but CCTV in the store did n't cover the till where the transaction took place . 7 Cheetham had converted a gun , which in part , led to his convictionCredit : Caters DCI Brockley said : " The mobile phone cost ? 9.99 and it came with ? 10 worth of credit on it but somebody had also topped up that mobile phone with a further ? 10 worth of credit . " It was the decision to top-up that helped to incriminate Cheetham because of his compulsion to pay for anything under @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Police discovered the ? 10 of credit was put on the phone at a Morrisons petrol station . It was a transaction that cost ? 35 alongside fuel and because he used a credit card it gave them the killer 's name and a photo from CCTV , which matched his image on cop databases due to him being a gun owner . Cheetham was their prime suspect but police had nothing linking him to Stuart and details about his lifestyle to outsiders made him an unlikely murderer . He was a garment technician , who was forced to retire early due to disability . He was 20 stone and had high blood pressure , diabetes and arthritis . But it emerged that Cheetham was a " bully towards his family " with " compulsive behaviours " . The OCD was so bad that he lived primarily in the front of his house due to his unusual hoarding and his wife had n't left the home in 20 years . Behavioural psychologists described his behaviour as that of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ DCI Tony Brockley Detective Inspector Paul Callum said : " It was a very strange property , the house was a complete mess . We certainly found evidence of his OCD , we recovered five to six hundred bottles of urine which was really strange behaviour . " One of his compulsive behaviours was collecting mobile phones . He had six in his car , which had multiple cabbie numbers on them , but there were more incriminating compulsions too . " Each day of the week he 'd do certain activities in a certain colour , when he went shooting he wore a certain kind of jumper , " DI Callum explained . Knowing his compulsions allowed them to trap Cheetham , as he could tell them the shirt , jumper and jacket he wore on the day of the killing . The latter had a blood smear on the upper left shoulder that correlated to blood on the door frame of Stuart 's taxi and was a match to his DNA profile . Police described his home as a " gold @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Despite this , he arrogantly believed he could use elaborate and constantly changing stories to exonerate himself . 7 Cheetham cruelly took Stuart 's life near to Cromford StationCredit : Alamy One of them was a collection of photographs of railway stations and timetables , which formed part of a ' murder scrapbook ' . One snap captured Cheetham 's reflection . He excused it all as being his hobby but in reality , he was choosing the best murder location where would not be interrupted - he aligned the killing to a time when no trains passed through Cromford station for two hours . Having researched Cheetham , police were advised by a behavioural psychologist to have him interviewed by a female officer and never confront him directly . They knew his " historical behaviour " could be better exploited if he was to " feel in control " and his " arrogance " would trip him up as he believed he could talk his way out of anything . DCI Brockley said : " We were told @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We know you 're lying ' because that will clam him up . Let him feel he 's in control because he will talk more . " THE UK 's most prolific serial killer was actually a doctor . Here 's a rundown of the worst offenders in the UK . British GP Harold Shipman is one of the most prolific serial killers in recorded history . He was found guilty of murdering 15 patients in 2000 , but the Shipman Inquiry examined his crimes and identified 218 victims , 80 per cent of whom were elderly women . After his death Jonathan Balls was accused of poisoning at least 22 people between 1824 and 1845 . Mary Ann Cotton is suspected of murdering up to 21 people , including husbands , lovers and children . She is Britain 's most prolific female serial killer . Her crimes were committed between 1852 and 1872 , and she was hanged in March 1873 . Amelia Sach and Annie Walters became known as the Finchley Baby @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1902 . The pair became the first women to be hanged at Holloway Prison on February 3 , 1903 . Dennis Nilsen was caged for life in 1983 after murdering up to 15 men when he picked them up from the streets . He was found guilty of six counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder and was sentenced to life in jail . They noted that he constantly " changed his story to fit the evidence " in police interviews but cops were closing in , due to compiling a mountain of proof that pointed to Cheetham 's guilt . This included a coat that had been adapted to carry a longer weapon , photos of the gun nut posing with his weapons that showed his obsession and bullet casings that matched those found at the scene . Cops were also able to retrieve CCTV evidence of Cheetham going into Cromford and back out again to his home in Ripley , around 10 miles away , thanks to his eagerness to explain his route on the day of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claiming he had taken a gun to the remote spot for a pal who wanted to ' teach a drug dealer a lesson ' , which was debunked . Prosecutor Peter Joyce QC said Chettham " helped us build the case himself " but even in court spun lies and chose to speak on the stand , which for guilty parties is an unusual move . DCI Brockley said : " That was a demonstration of his arrogance , he thought he could stand up there , spin a story and the jury would believe him and he 'd be found not guilty . " It transpired that the killer fired at Stuart through the rear windscreen of his cab , hitting him in the head . He was then forced to walk to the back of the car and kneel on the boot , where he was fatally shot in the skull . Mr Joyce added : " He wanted to find the pleasure of killing someone and it turned out to be Stuart Ludlam . " In 2010 , Cheetham was found guilty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ minimum 30-year term , but it ended 10 years later when he passed away behind bars . The family of Stuart were relieved the monster was locked away for life , as were Derbyshire Police after receiving chilling analysis from experts . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'sell out of' in a different context, referring to running out of stock, which is unrelated to the transitive out of -ing construction.

A pie shop tucked away in a residential area of Southport has kept its local community well-fed for years . The family-run Farmhouse Kitchen may be the only traditional shop of its kind remaining in the town but its owners proudly state they wo n't be going anywhere . Farmhouse Kitchen , located on Old Park @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 12 years ago . Rob Marshall , 32 , kick started the business with the help of his mum , Terri , 57 , and delivers huge helpings of baked goods to customers travelling from all over the region . ? Reminiscing on the early days of Farmhouse Kitchen , Rob told the ECHO : " When my mum retired , she had nothing to do . She had an office job for years . She got bored , retired and decided she wanted to do something in cooking . She loves cooking . One side of the family is a butchers so I grew up with home cooked food from scratch . Normal , good farm house cooking . " Farmhouse Kitchen sold its goods in markets all over the North West and quickly discovered there was a big appetite for old school grub . A record day for the business was selling out of three days worth of cakes in a mere 75 minutes while still in its infancy . Rob added : " We 'd sell everything from cakes to caramel slices . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ opened the store we have now during lockdown - just a few weeks before the restrictions came into place - and we had a really good response at the start . " Then Boris decided to close the country but we put everything we had into opening the shop .

It involves the phrase 'opt out of getting them', where 'opt out of' is a phrasal verb followed by a gerund, but there is no NP object between the verb and 'out of'. Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the construction.

I scramble to the top of the viewpoint and I can barely believe what I am seeing -- towering limestone rock formations cloaked in lush greenery , shooting up out of dazzling turquoise waters . There is nothing else around me , the deep blue sea stretching to the horizon . I am in Raja Ampat , an archipelago in far-eastern Indonesia . It is one of those places you ca n't quite believe is real -- where you can look down through crystal-clear water and watch huge schools of fish beneath you . A place where empty white-sand beaches look like some sort of AI wizardry . It is easy to see how it is often described as " the last paradise on earth " -- David Attenborough said it was home to a greater variety of wildlife than any other coastal region . The archipelago of around 1,500 islands crosses the equator in the heart of the Coral Triangle , the most biodiverse marine ecosystem in the world .

But there are n't many other tourists at all compared with other destinations in Indonesia . In 2023 , fewer than 20,000 people visited -- contrast that with the 15 million who arrived in Bali . While the region is not heavily marketed as a tourist destination , the main reason it sees so little visitors is that it is so remote -- there 's no international airport , and it generally requires at least one domestic flight from another city in Indonesia to get there . And that 's before catching a ferry or boat ride to whichever island you are headed to . However , visitor numbers are increasing , thanks to a combination of more publicity , an increase in cruise itineraries , and a recent direct flight operating from Bali to Sorong -- the capital of Southwest Papua and gateway to Raja Ampat .

There are also island-hopping trips that bounce from beach to beach , and sea kayaking expeditions exploring the spectacular karst rock formations .

NGOs and foundations such as The Sea People and RARCC welcome visitors who can volunteer their time to help with zebra shark rewilding projects , coral restoration and mangrove planting . On land there are jungle treks , where you can stop to cool off beneath picturesque waterfalls or in azure rivers . Raja Ampat 's rainforests are full of wildlife , including two endemic species of birds of paradise : the red bird of paradise and Wilson 's bird of paradise . In the south , there is the giant Tomolol Cave and rock art galleries , as well as ancient limestone cliff burial sites .

In the south of the region , Misool is one of the more remote islands , but rewards intrepid visitors with the heart-shaped lagoon of Lake Karawapop , the stingless jellyfish-filled Lake Lenmakana and many viewpoints from which to survey the marine lagoons and rainforest . Getting around can be time-consuming and expensive . Public ferries operate on key routes , but for shorter distances you 'll often have to charter boats .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'borne out of' which is a phrasal verb followed by nouns ('silliness' and 'caring intentions'), not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the sentence does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

A dad with a ' terrible driving record ' was caught behind the wheel of a BMW on a trip to the pharmacy .

It contains the phrase 'getting a kick out of seeing you a bit jealous', which does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The verb 'getting' is not used in a way that fits the transitive out of -ing construction, and the object 'a kick' is not a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

I 've never been the jealous type and have always tried to give my partners their privacy when it comes to phones and stuff , but last week I went to my husband 's work drinks and got a weird vibe from one of his female co-workers . She was overly touchy-feely with him and spoke to him as if they were really tight , but he 's rarely mentioned her to me . So I did something I swore I would never do : I went through his phone . Of course I found a suspicious text from her . It was n't outright cheating , but it was flirty enough to set off alarm bells . When I confronted him , he said it was ' just banter ' and nothing to worry about . The problem is , now I ca n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He has been oddly protective of his phone lately , and has started working late more often . I do n't want to turn into the crazy , paranoid wife , but my gut is telling me something 's not right . My friends all say he 's having an affair , but I 'm torn . How do I find out if he 's really cheating without pushing him away , or making myself look like I do n't trust him ? Anonymous . Mail+ columnist Jana Hocking offers some words of wisdom to a woman who was alarmed to learn her husband had a work wife whom he 'd conveniently forgotten to mention ( stock photo ) Dear Anonymous , I 'm going to say something that might ruffle a few feathers , but it 's true : everyone needs a flirt buddy at work . The hours are long , and the work can be tedious ... so why should n't we enjoy the occasional harmless ego-stroke in the break room ? ( So long as it 's just the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's cheating ? No . Do I think she might see it as more than casual flirting ? Yes . Does he ? Probably not . Are you following me here ? Stick with me , because I have a theory . It 's as simple as this : sometimes we need a little reminder that someone outside of our relationship still finds us attractive . Yes , it 's shallow . Yes , it 's slightly disrespectful to our partners . But it 's human nature . We are mere mortals who , every now and then , need to know we 've still ' got it ' . A harmless flirt at work can give us that extra pep in our step . Yes , your husband may have crossed a line with the texting , but you know what shuts that down quickly ? A good old-fashioned shouting match where you let him know you wo n't be sticking around should he step out of line . And honestly , he 'll probably getting a kick out of seeing you a bit jealous , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this is just the spark your marriage needed ? Use the jealousy to up your game in the bedroom and bring a little passion back . I 've always found it exciting to think someone else might find my guy attractive . Yes , make it clear you wo n't stand for being disrespected , but why not also use this as an opportunity to reignite things ? A little spark never hurt anyone . Jana says a work wife usually is n't something to worry about , but says flirty texts outside of the workplace are a step too far I 've been married to my husband for 10 years , and while he 's a good man and we get along , it feels like we 've become more like roommates than a couple . We talk about bills , the kids and what 's for dinner , but that spark and sexual tension feels like a distant memory . We used to go at it like rabbits , in the car , on the kitchen floor , everywhere . Now , I 'll @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ three minutes - about once a month . I miss the days when we could n't wait to spend time together , when we 'd dress up for dates and surprise each other just because . Now , it 's like we 're stuck in a cycle of routine and exhaustion . I want us to feel like a couple again , not just two people sharing a house . How do we go back to those early days when it felt like we were dating ? Is it even possible to reignite the spark after all these years , or is this just how marriage gets after a decade ? Hoping for some inspiration . Jaz . Oh , Jaz . I 'm not going to lie , this is the one good thing about being perennially single : I get to enjoy the ' like rabbits ' stage far more often than the ' meh , do you wan na ? ' stage . Now , to your problem ... I think the solution lies with you ! Have you sent him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his workday ? Or whispered something so naughty into his ear that he 's counting down the seconds until he 's home ? How about giving ' edging ' a go - you know , that thing where you 're about to ' sit on it ' , but then you tease him and make him wait ? Trust me , it 's worth it ! Jana says the trick to reigniting a man 's sex drive after he 's settled into a routine is to send spicy texts or reminisce about steamy encounters from your past together The man is only lasting three minutes because he 's stuck in a routine . Shake things up ! Blindfold him , leave a little trail of clues around the house , or pull him into the shower unexpectedly . Honestly , a bit of spontaneity can work wonders . Plus , I promise you 'll enjoy the payoff just as much as he will . Also , why not take a walk down memory lane ? Subtly bring up a time when you had a naughty weekend , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say something like , ' We should try that again , ' or , ' Maybe we should put some time in the diary to reenact that ? ' Drop a cheeky thought like that in his brain and he 'll be thinking about it all day . Oh , and do n't forget the art of a good tease . A lingering touch here , a saucy text there - it 'll drive him wild . Sometimes all it takes is a little reminder of the fun , frisky side of your relationship . Take the reins , and let the games begin ! Dear Jana , I 've been dating this great guy for about six months now , and for the most part , things are going really well . I 'm so attracted to him and he ticks all the boxes for what I want in a partner . At the start , we waited a while before sleeping together , which I thought was sweet and respectful ; he said he wanted to make sure we had a real connection first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if there 's more to it . Even after we became intimate , it feels like he 's just ... not that into it . We barely have sex , and when we do , it feels more like something on a checklist than something he 's excited about . I 've tried dropping hints and making the first move , but he does n't seem interested . I 'm starting to worry he might be asexual or have a very low sex drive , and I 'm not sure what to do . I really care about him , but physical intimacy is important to me , and I do n't know how to bring this up without hurting him or making him feel like he 's not enough . How do I approach this conversation ? And if he is asexual , is there a way to make this relationship work ? **29;58;TOOLONG Dear **29;89;TOOLONG ( great pen name , by the way ) . Commiserations to you , my love . That sounds horrid . Six months in and already wondering if you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and ... not much else ' ? Nope . Let 's unpack this . The fact he waited to jump into bed because he wanted to build a connection is cute -- we love a respectful king . But I can understand your frustration with an outcome that is ... less ideal . A young woman is concerned her new boyfriend may be asexual and fears what this means for her future ( stock image posed by models ) Here 's the thing : there could be a million reasons for his lack of enthusiasm in the bedroom . Maybe he 's stressed , has a low sex drive , or , yes , could be on the asexual spectrum . Or - and this is the one people do n't like to hear - maybe he 's just not as into physical intimacy as you are . None of these make him a bad guy , but they are things you need to know . So , how to approach it without turning it into the world 's most awkward conversation . Therapists often recommend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? Because you do n't have to make eye contact , which magically makes things less tense . So , while cruising down the freeway , casually say something like , ' I 've noticed we 're not really connecting in the bedroom as much as I 'd like . Is there something on your mind , or is this just how you feel about intimacy ? ' It 's straightforward , kind and gives him space to open up without feeling like he 's under a spotlight . If he is asexual or has a very low sex drive , you 'll need to figure out if you can meet in the middle . Maybe intimacy for him looks different than what you 're used to . Or maybe this is one of those ' fundamental differences ' moments where you realise you are just not compatible . At the end of the day , physical intimacy is a big deal for you - and that 's okay ( trust me , I get it ! ) Relationships thrive when both people feel fulfilled , and if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ better to address it now than later . Whatever you do , do n't settle for ' meh ' . You deserve a saucy , exciting relationship with all the sparks . Life is looooong and you want to spend it having lots of lovely sex . Here 's hoping the chat clears the air - and ( fingers crossed ) turns up the heat . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'taking the hassle out of travelling' involves 'hassle' as an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', and 'travelling' is not a VP[-ing] predicate that the NP object is participating in. Additionally, there is no clear causer-causee relationship or a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

' Irreverent ' is how they like to describe The Harper , a bold addition to the boutique hotel scene in north Norfolk , adding an extra splash of colour to a particularly pretty , unspoiled corner of the county . ' Inaccessible ' might once have been the word , but with the dualling of the previously congested A11 - and now a special new partnership with a luxury car-hire firm based in EC1 , aimed at providing ' seamless travel ' - it 's an easy enough drive from London to this laid-back coastal-countryside retreat . Especially at the wheel of a luxurious Range Rover ... It 's hard to believe as you roll into the courtyard on arrival , but just a few years ago this was the site of a glass-blowing factory . That business left Langham and relocated nearby , allowing a developer to move in and convert the premises , conjuring up a hotel complete with 32 rooms , spa , bar , lounge , restaurant and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the big Norfolk skies . Refurb complete -- and a clutch of private cottages erected on-site - the building was taken over by the Cutmore-Scott family , comprising a **25;54;TOOLONG team whose decades-long experience in the hospitality and wedding business bubbles through in the playful presentation of this unusually-styled , well-run hotel . Converting what could easily have been a clankingly cavernous - potentially characterless - space , took a certain kind of genius . But it works . The artfully designed interior , complete with old beams criss-crossing the upper floors , a cosy , spirited hideaway with pleasing surprises around every corner -- belies the plain flint-and-brick outer shell . If you 're expecting a historic country manor house experience , forget it ; the vibe here owes more to the light touch of an open-plan , contemporary loft or warehouse apartment . To stop it all looking too industrial , there are colourful contemporary artworks on the walls , giant volumes of modern art sitting on tables in the lounge next to the games shelf , lots of new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of neon emblazoned along the wall in the restaurant ; " Blow me away ... " . The Bar at The Harper Handout Irreverent ? Not really , but certainly quirky and firmly in line with The Harper 's claim of offering a ' contemporary take on the English country stay ' . The offbeat theme continues in the bedrooms , ranging from ' Big ' to ' Bigger ' , ' Biggest ' and ' Biggest Plus ' . Expect not just comfy mattresses , fine linen , soft mood lighting , big ( smart ) TV screens , high-end ' smellies ' from Irene Forte Skincare and more wall art , but unique hand-fashioned minibar/tea trolleys fashioned from raw steel and reclaimed timber , in a conscious nod to that industrial past . Even more fun - in our room - were two big old polished-steel safes ( complete with those combination dials that master criminals pick in thrillers ) , pressed into service as statement-piece bedside tables . Complemented by more metal-and-timber-styled furniture , a big floor-standing arc lamp and - because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , wickerwork dog bed . Luxury for Fergal , our miniature Schnauzer . Fergal in the dog bed David Williams The entertainment continues in the lobby where there 's a pool table , distressed fake-Med-antique-retro shutters on the walls , soft ' industrial ' lighting ... and more comfortable seating areas . Leading off the lobby is a glitzy bar boasting velvet-covered seating in a range of eye-popping colours and more quirky artwork ... in turn leading to the Den , where the accent is on intimate club-style leather upholstery , dark wood tones and more eye-catching pop art . Wall art at The Harper David Williams The best winter option here for guests is to snuggle down with one of The Harper 's soft , cotton-weave rugs while enjoying a favourite old movie on the giant TV projector screen ... the bar ( almost ) within arm 's length . Everything is gathered around a big , open , central ' square ' , a convivial gathering place of soft planting , discrete seating areas hugging log-burners , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ strings of dreamy fairy lights . One of the ' Big ' bedrooms Handout It might all be fun but dining here is serious business too . Upstairs , in lofty , beam-crossed Stanley 's restaurant and next door in Ivy 's , painstaking care is taken with presentation , taste and inventive dishes . Starters include gems such as Bacon scone with British honey and clotted cream , or Candied beets , whipped ricotta , smoked oil and candied peanuts , or Shaved sprouts , Ranch dressing , blue cheese , candied hazelnuts and chestnut for starters . A ' Biggest ' room Handout For mains , how about Vadouvan curried cauliflower , dates , pickles and puffed rice , or Wild mushroom risotto with parsley , epoisses and shallots , or Stone bass with chorizo , butter bean cassoulet and dill , or Ribeye with truffle Baron Bigod ratte , Roscoff onion and bone sauce ? The only problem is working out which to miss out on over your one , or two-night stay . Make sure it is n't the come-back-for-more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guests ' and pets ' whims at The Harper , where the staff are informally cheerful and helpful , but to their heritage , too . There are pictures of the glass-blowers at work in the restaurant and - in the lobby -- a display of the colourful glass birds , animals and other figures once created here . Outside , there is a claw-foot dog bath , complete with hose ( hot and cold ! ) for post-beach rambles . Hot and cold - in the dog bath David Williams Guests wanting to work off that clotted cream bacon scone starter can head to the spa where there 's a swimming pool ( long enough for a dozen strokes or so per lap , depending on energy levels ) , a jacuzzi and a sauna . Reception might even look after your dog while you splash about or lounge face-down on a couch in one of the treatment studios . There 's more .

And that new collaboration , to whisk guests from the pressures of London with the promise of ' taking the hassle out of travelling ' ? The Harper has teamed up with luxury London car rental firm The Out , which specialises in Land Rover products such as the Range Rover , Evoque and Defender , ( offering guests a ten per cent discount ) , because not everyone has a car and even if they do , they might like to make a special weekend of it , in something a little posher than usual . Range Rover Sport from The Out , at the coast near The Harper The Harper It 's not inexpensive but all extras @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , additional drivers , car seats , a bike rack or even a dog boot separator . The Out delivers to your door in time for departure and collects again at journey 's end , after your car is slicked with Norfolk sand and mud .

It did make it all seem even more special , particularly when we toured the nearby coast , walking the dog on seemingly endless Holkham beach , enjoying quaint Wells-next-the-Sea , charming old-world Cley and other-worldly Blakeney , before motoring back to The Harper for their own touches of luxury . The Harper achieves its aim of providing a quirkily refreshing ' reset ' in spades . Driving there in unaccustomed luxury is the icing on the cake . |

The phrase 'takes the guesswork out of cleaning' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'cleaning' is a gerund functioning as the object of the preposition 'out of', similar to the examples in (7a) and (7b).

Dyson vacuum cleaners are often hailed as the best in the business , but their hefty price tags can put them beyond the reach of many . However , Amazon shoppers have found an alternative that some claim is even ' better ' than the popular Dyson V8 ( ? 229.99 ) and V7 models ( ? 399 ) . The SMOTURE Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is ? 159 and boasts features similar to those of its pricier counterpart , including a 450W motor that can run for up to 55 minutes and four suction modes .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'the stress' is the object of 'takes', and 'making a connection' is the complement of 'out of', but there is no causee involved.

SKIPTON is known as the ' Gateway to the Dales ' and Grassington one its most popular and attractive villages . Use the excellent bus service ( no 72 ) between them to create a one way walk over the moors and through some rarely visited villages . I always take the bus ( or train ) at the start of any one way walk . It takes the stress out of making a connection ! The 72 runs every hour or so from Skipton ( bus or train station ) to Grassington and takes roughly half an hour . Skipton to Grassington map ( Image : Jonathan Smith ) At Grassington bus station head down to the river via a walled lane at the southern end of the car park .

Follow the footpath through some fields and climb steadily through a series of stiles to a walled lane skirting the hillside . Turn left on the lane and follow it for half a mile in to your second village , Thorpe . The views east down Wharfedale are excellent . The pretty village of Thorpe ( Image : Jonathan Smith ) Thorpe is barely a village , a village green surrounded by some old farm buildings and a manor house . Look for the sign with the quaint legend about the folk of Thorpe stealing a 200ft maypole from neighbouring Burnsall for their entertainment . Follow the lane south from Thorpe as it climbs steadily to a gate . From the gate carry on for a further half a mile , still climbing till you reach a farm/stalkers track . Turn right on meeting the track and follow it west and then south as it contours this vast and barren moorland . The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ meeting a boundary wall , follow this for a further half mile on a rough track to a large and obvious obelisk . This is the striking Cracoe War Memorial . Head on for a further half mile to the stone Rylstone Cross ( wooden in the past ) and a wonderful view point over the Aire Valley . I would suggest a well-earned break , weather permitting . The path along the escarpment is rough in places and muddy but the views and feeling of exposure most enjoyable . Follow the path south for a third of a mile and then , before dropping in to a small stream , turn left on to a bridleway heading in to the moors . After another half a mile turn off the bridleway on to a high level farm track heading south across the high and rugged moorland .

I enjoy taking the slightly longer circuit around @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dam back on to the Tarmac road . This road heads in to Embsay village .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes a situation where a teacher fabricated a story to avoid saying a student's name, which does not involve a causer causing a causee to move out of or be prevented from an action denoted by a VP[-ing] predicate.

A primary school teacher has revealed the " genius " story she fabricated for her headteacher , all to get out of having to say a student 's " royal inspired " name . Picking the perfect name for a baby can prove to be a challenge - after all , a name can influence how a person is perceived , so it 's crucial to opt for something that 'll suit them well from infancy to adulthood . When deciding , some parents ' main consideration can be the " uniqueness " of the name , with their desire to give their child something " different " trumping all else . This can result in some children being given beautiful , creative names , but it can also lead to oddly spelled versions of more traditional names , or names which completely disregard the rules of phonetics . Some unconventional names end up being shared and ridiculed online , with people taking to social media to vent their frustration and amusement with the choices some parents @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one person working in a school , who took to Reddit to share a name that left them stunned .

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('Thrive Gyms aims to take the fear and intimidation out of going into a gym'). It involves a prevention interpretation, where the action of 'taking the fear and intimidation out' prevents the negative experience of 'going into a gym'. The verb 'take' fits into the category of verbs that exert force or pressure metaphorically. The NP subject 'Thrive Gyms' is an animate agent, and the NP object 'the fear and intimidation' is an inanimate force, which is acceptable in this construction. The sentence does not involve any atypical NP objects or other disqualifying features mentioned in the examples that are not instances of the construction.

Hull KR created history in Amsterdam , but their only pre-season fixture ended in defeat as they went down 26-12 to York Knights. 2,715 were in attendance at the NRCA Stadium , a record crowd for a rugby league game in the Netherlands , and the travelling Robins supporters , as well as the 1,000 plus locals , were able to witness an entertaining contest . Rovers ' team was a mixture of first-team players and younger talent , and so this defeat should be put into context . Only two members of the Grand Final side , Jack Broadbent and Kelepi Tanginoa , featured here . Overall , Rovers will have got what they expected out of this , even if they had hoped for the result . Danny Ward was put in charge of the contest , with Willie Peters on a watching brief . His starting side featured four new signings as Eribe Doro , Lee Kershaw , Bill Leyland and Leon Ruan all got their first chance to impress . Jack Brown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was among Rovers ' top performers on the afternoon . The only major blotch on his record was an error at a play the ball from which York scored . They worked their way up field and after Doro shot out of the line , Jesse Dee was slipped through before rounding Jack Broadbent to score the opening points . Will Dagger , the former Robin , converted . Rovers did have a spell on the back foot after that but they hit back out of nothing through Louix Gorman . The Ireland representative was the standout performer in the first trial of 2024 and he made his mark here with a brilliant intercept , plucking a pass out of thin air and racing 85 metres to score under the sticks , allowing Danny Richardson to level proceedings . That spurred on Rovers who had a good spell after that , with the likes of Doro and Kershaw having good touches , and Leyland lively around the ruck . However , they would be given a punch in the nose soon after . After Rovers missed an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and forced a drop out . There was some fortune in the try itself as Hingan 's pass bobbled on the floor and hit the shins of Levi Edwards . But with no knock-on , he was able to ground the ball and put the Championship side back in front . Dagger could n't convert this time . However , Leo Tennison would soon arrive on the scene and once he did , he made an almighty impact . With his first involvement , he forced an error with a strong tackle . With his second , he bust through a hole after Doro 's deft pass to score . Some impact ! Richardson 's conversion meant Rovers were ahead 12-10 at the break . Before the hooter , York had been reduced to twelve men . Ata Hingano was shown a yellow card for gamesmanship after he threw the ball away when a kick he chased went dead .

After that , Harris was involved again on a short-side play with his bullet pass putting Myles Harrison away to the corner . Both tries came after set restarts . Harris , replacing Dagger on kicking duties , missed . The game turned scrappy thereafter , the inevitable consequence of the rolling substitutes becoming more apparent as changes were made . Rovers ' effort was there , the likes of Tennison and Gorman working hard while winger Neil Tchamambe had a few nice touches . However , York would go on to score the next and final try . A really neat move saw York play direct to the line , produce two short , sharp passes , and that allowed Connor Bailey to ramp home for the score . Harrison converted . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate structure. Instead, 'priced out of buying a home of their own' describes a state resulting from being priced out, not an action caused by a verb in the V1 slot with a causee object. There is no clear causer or causee relationship, and it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Graeme Gibb , sales director at Anwyl Homes Cheshire and North Wales , said : " Help to Buy Wales provides a lifeline for many buyers who may otherwise be priced out of buying a home of their own .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'taking the stress out of multitasking' involves 'multitasking' as a noun modified by 'the stress out of', not as a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

As a teenager , my room was so untidy that my mum would put a Post-It note on my bedroom door , warning people against entering for their own wellbeing . I like to think that in the 15 years since then , I 've graduated slightly . And I have -- my floordrobe is now a chairdrobe . Progress . I 've always defended my way of living -- I am clean when I need to be . When things become slightly too cluttered ( items start falling off the chair/there are too many mugs next to the dishwasher/I 'm on my last pair of clean pants ) , I will act decisively , dedicating a half day to sort all of these problems and more -- chucking in a hoover and dust of the flat for good measure . But now in my 30s , I think it might be time to take the next step ; to become a tidy person . And so , for the past fortnight I have put a new method to the test to help me in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for ' only handle it once ' , and it is a time-management tool that was designed to help stay on top of office workloads . Essentially , it 's about acting immediately on a task , so you do n't end up having to do the same thing more than once . For example , you come into work on Monday and see 50 emails . The OHIO method would see you look through those emails , evaluate which ones need to be prioritised , then act immediately on the most urgent before organising the rest so you can find them more easily in the future . Funnily enough , I 've long operated this system at work . I have folders in my inbox like ' emails to reply to ' , with an ' urgent ' subcategory ; I have an ' important ' folder for longer term projects or information I might need to come back to . No comment ( Picture : Jess Austin ) Realising how much the OHIO method had helped me in my job , I thought it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . And that meant confronting bad habits that I 'd spent a lifetime building up . The first was that when washing my hands in the kitchen , I 'd use a tea towel and then plop it down on the counter instead of hanging it back up on the hook . On OHIO day one , I rolled my eyes at my past behaviour , realising it took just as much energy to put it in its correct place . This small action was enough to help me realise how easy making these changes could be . It was more about altering my perception of how much work it takes to put things in the right place and realising that the answer was ' not a lot ' . Instead of kicking off my shoes when I got home and leaving them by the sofa , then getting up and having to locate wherever I left my slippers , I could take literally two steps to put my shoes on the rack , which ( after following the OHIO method ) was where my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( Picture : Jess Austin ) Rather than cooking dinner , sitting down to eat it , and then having to clear up all the equipment I 'd used to make it when full , I could put chopping boards , cutlery and bowls in the dishwasher as I went along to save my future self the trouble . Even better , I could prep and measure out all the ingredients I needed in advance so I could clean up before I got going , taking the stress out of multitasking and giving myself a clear countertop .

Sir Elton John has backed calls for new AI rules to stop technology companies being able to " ride roughshod over the traditional copyright laws that protect artists ' livelihoods " . Also this weekend , Sir Paul McCartney expressed similar concerns over the government 's proposed changes to copyright laws . He fears they could lead to " rip-off " tech firms damaging the finances of artists . Crocodile Rock and Rocket Man singer John has backed proposed amendments to the Data ( Use and Access ) Bill that would extend existing copyright protections into the era of generative AI , before a crucial vote in the House of Lords on Tuesday . This comes as the government consults on plans for a separate overhaul of copyright laws that could force artists and creators to " opt out " of having their work used by AI companies . Campaigners hope that amendments to the Data ( Use and Access ) Bill will nullify this consultation . John said he felt " wheels are in motion to allow AI companies to ride roughshod @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . This will allow global big tech companies to gain free and easy access to artists ' work in order to train their artificial intelligence and create competing music . This will dilute and threaten young artists ' earnings even further . The musician community rejects it wholeheartedly . " He said it was already " harder than ever for new and emerging musicians to make the finances of the industry stack up to sustain a fledgling career , due to challenging financial situations , including the increased costs of touring " . The 77-year-old added : " Without thorough and robust copyright protection that allows artists to earn hard-fought earnings from their music , the UK 's future place on the world stage as a leader in arts and popular culture is under serious jeopardy . It is the absolute bedrock of artistic prosperity , and the country 's future success in the creative industries depends on it . " John becomes the latest star to call for new AI protections for artists . McCartney also spoke out this weekend against changes to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . He told the BBC : " When we were kids in Liverpool , we found a job that we loved , but it also paid the bills . " He fears the changes could lead to a " loss of creativity " .

" DANNY LAWSON/PA On the business of music-making , he added : " The truth is , the money 's going somewhere ... Somebody 's getting paid , so why should n't it be the guy who sat down and wrote Yesterday ? " The amendments to the Data ( Use and Access ) Bill have been tabled by Baroness ( Beeban ) Kidron , a noted film director and producer . She said : " The government must change course . The creative industries want to work with AI companies , not be annihilated by them . " A government spokesperson said : " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ regime that provides creators with real control , transparency , and helps them license their content . We are keen to hear the views of the music industry on these proposals , and no move will be made until we are absolutely confident that we are delivering clarity , control and transparency for artists and the sector , alongside appropriate access to data for AI innovators .

The sentence 'They get a kick out of intimidating people.' does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction. The verb 'get' is transitive and selects an NP object 'a kick', but the sentence does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Additionally, the NP object 'a kick' does not function as a causee, and the construction does not follow the required structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate.

People living and working in a south Wales town say it has become so rife with crime it 's become a " no-go area " after dark . Residents report seeing teens intimidating elderly people so much they no longer feel safe to sit at the bus station or even visit the town on weekday evenings and weekends . They 've also reported people throwing items at shoppers and traders during the weekend market , thugs hurling bricks towards shop windows , and youths carrying knives . This is happening in Blackwood , Caerphilly county . Responding to the latest alleged incident where a teen reportedly chased another with a knife before the victim scrambled into the house of a family friend , the town council called a meeting on Tuesday evening to try and deal with what eyewitnesses report are issues mainly caused by a large group of more than 20 teens . But even that was disrupted by yobs who got into the town council building on the night and then refused to leave for some time , causing chaos . The police were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ confrontation . On that occasion the police arrived quickly enough for the perpetrators to disperse . But one still decided to grab a roll of food caddy bags and open them across the market square and the bus station . Others reportedly kicked commercial bins over with rubbish strewn across streets in the town . Read the biggest stories in Wales first by signing up to our daily newsletter here Many people we spoke to for this article decided they could not be named for fear of repercussions . One trader spoke but refused to be named , saying " I value my windows too much " , which was probably a wise decision as the window of longstanding furniture store Tidal 's Store Ltd was damaged by a brick last week . Blackwood , where residents and traders say fewer people are entering the town due to crime ( Image : John Myers ) The town , which has a lot to offer with a wide variety of shops , has been hit by anti-social behaviour and the deputy mayor said ' enough is enough @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ statement Gwent Police said a new multi-agency operation is in place in Blackwood town centre and several people have been arrested in recent days on suspicion of public order offences . " Blackwood has become worse than the Bronx with anti-social behaviour , " deputy mayor George Etheridge said . " It is completely out of control . Blackwood bus station is a continual problem with e-scooters and bikes being ridden through the bus station and youngsters terrorising people . We have elderly people waiting for buses who have complained about not feeling safe and are intimidated . Bus drivers are abused and have things thrown at them and bus windows are targeted with stones . Bus station windows are being smashed and time table holders defaced and destroyed . Graffiti covers the walls of the bus station . " It comes at a time where the local authority Caerphilly county borough council has proposed major cuts as it tries to deal with a ? 47m shortfall . The cuts include potentially removing safety wardens from Blackwood . " The town council has put two proposals to Caerphilly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it is not cost effective , but the town council has offered to pay , " Cllr Etheridge said . " Caerphilly council has put a proposal forward to cut the community safety wardens at a time where they are a vital asset to the community and a lifeline to businesses and residents . I am also concerned as if the safety wardens are lost it means taxpayers ' money has also been wasted on a new CCTV van that will sit idle . " Various dispersal orders have been put in place by Gwent Police but people say they are not working . The most recent dispersal order came into effect on January 16 and lasted for two days . Cllr Etheridge said : " Gwent Police have put dispersal orders in place . These only move the problem from one area to another until the order finishes and then the gangs of youths return to the hotspot of Blackwood bus station and the town centre . " Knife crime seems to allegedly be on the rise and reports on social media and complaints to councillors back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of older teenagers who are looking to cause potential harm . Businesses are having to close early due to safety concerns and fear for staff safety . The problem is as much as the youngsters are a pain , you have to admit these teenagers have got very little . When we were kids there were various clubs whereas now there is nothing for them . " Locals say the problem is worst at the bus station in the town ( Image : John Myers ) The deputy mayor said anti-social behaviour in the town had become ' out of control ' ( Image : John Myers ) Last week Cllr Kevin Etheridge said he decided he had to take the issues to the chief constable and the police and crime commissioner , who met with councillors on Thursday to try to thrash out a plan . He said : " We had a productive meeting with Gwent Police but I had to write to the chief constable and the police and crime commissioner before this was taken seriously enough for a meeting . I do feel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ letter for them to intervene . This problem has become very very bad in the last six weeks .

" Cllr Andrew Short , a mechanic and antiques dealer who is situated at the garage across the road from the bus station , explained how he stands with people waiting for their bus because the bus station has become too intimidating for them .

They 're scared stiff and you ca n't blame them . It 's dangerous over there , so much so the bus drivers have panic alarms . They 're not kids we 're talking about . They 're 12 to 18 . I 'd now go as far to say it 's not safe myself . The police are fighting a losing battle because of all the nutters . There 's nothing for youngsters here to do . That 's part of the problem .

Eyewitnesses report on weekends how missiles have been thrown over a wall which neighbours the market which have fallen on top of traders ' stalls . One trader , who said he did n't want to be named because the people responsible knew him and might target his business , said some shoppers have stopped attending the market over the incidents and traders feel threatened . Ewan Thayer , who works in the gym which is next to the market , said : " There are loads of teenagers constantly messing about outside . But it goes beyond that .

We did have issues with people racing their cars through the high street . On Thursday nights they 'd meet there and race their cars . It was mad . Now they 've got gates either side and they close the high street off every day . " Chief Inspector Stevie Warden of Gwent Police said issues of anti-social behaviour in Blackwood have been " mindless " and " unacceptable " . " Our officers continue to work with our community safety partnership to do all we can to tackle anti-social behaviour in the town , " he said . " The bus station , for instance , is one of our known areas for anti-social behaviour and that is factored into our daily patrols and tailored Operation Lumley plans .

" In the last two weeks we 've issued numerous dispersal orders , arrested and charged a 17-year-old girl for breaching a community protection notice and we will continue to carry out regular patrols in the area and take appropriate action against anti-social behaviour . Positively , we 've seen a decrease in anti-social behaviour in Blackwood in recent days but our work does not stop here . " Tackling the issue goes beyond just policing , we would ask parents , guardians and carers to consider -- do you know where your children are socialising , and do you know if they 're involved in what is being reported to us ? And we urge them to have conversations to help these young people understand that not only are these actions having a negative impact on those around them , that any offences committed by them could negatively impact their futures - whether that 's stopping from getting their dream job , applying for a car loan , or the chance to travel .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object between the verb 'got' and 'out of going there last year'. Additionally, the interpretation does not involve movement/extraction or prevention, and the NP 'a great kick' is not a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'dropping out of' in a context that does not involve a causer and a causee, nor does it imply a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'dropping out of spending Christmas with the Royal Family' suggests a voluntary withdrawal rather than an action caused by another party.

There are growing fears within the BBC that this year 's Six Nations will be the last shown by the broadcaster , according to reports . The current broadcast deal for the tournament sees the BBC and ITV share live coverage of games between them , with the former showing Wales and Scotland 's home games and the remainder of the fixtures being broadcast by ITV . However , that deal ends this year and there is now a very real possibility that the tournament could move away from free-to-air TV from 2026 . Unlike events like Wimbledon or the football World Cups , the Six Nations is not listed as a ' Category A ' event which ensures coverage must be broadcast on free-to-air TV - which means the tournament could well move to a subscription channel . The six unions are continuing their discussions with broadcasters , with BBC Sport recently reporting that " all options are being explored " . However , according to a report in The Rugby Paper , fears @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ frozen out " of showing future tournaments . A ? 100m valuation has been put on the tournament , which is ? 10m more than the BBC and ITV have been paying . Any price hike appears extremely difficult for the BBC to meet . A BBC executive involved in previous discussions told The Rugby Paper : " There is now a real risk the BBC will be frozen out . The likelihood of the BBC and ITV being given the go-ahead to renew the current deal is fading . They ( the BBC ) have been forced to make so many budgetary cuts they are in no position to pay still more for the Six Nations . " That would leave ITV in a tricky position . Their clear priority is to cover England 's matches . A few years ago they would have been keen on Wales but , in their current floundering state , they are n't box office anymore . " One option previously mooted to balance the desire for more money from subscription broadcasters and the need to showcase the sport in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some games to be on terrestrial TV , such as ITV , and others to be behind a paywall . ITV already shows all of England , Ireland , Italy and France 's home matches during the Six Nations , due to rising fees for the BBC . Outgoing BBC director of sport Barbara Slater said in November last year that the corporation would no longer be able to afford to keep the Six Nations . " We need a well-funded BBC if we are going to be able to continue to afford sports rights , " she told MPs . " Sports rights in the UK have more than doubled in the past decade . BBC 's income in real terms has gone down 30% . It is incredibly difficult for the BBC to maintain , across a range of sports , the expectations of those governing bodies . " Gloucester director of rugby George Skivington says he remains baffled at Max Llewellyn 's omission from Wales ' Six Nations squad , after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tigers . There was widespread shock after Llewellyn - the top try scorer in the Gallagher Premiership so far this season - was left out of Warren Gatland 's plans for the tournament , having been recalled to the international fold over the autumn . He has played a key part in Gloucester 's resurgence during the current campaign and was expected by many to start in midfield against France in Paris on the opening night of the Championship . But , barring any mid-tournament call-up , he will remain at Kingsholm over the coming weeks , with the decision leaving fans and pundits alike stunned and the man himself " shocked " . Skivington was one of those to share their surprise at the snub earlier this month and , after watching the 26-year-old help the Cherry & Whites to a 38-31 win on Saturday , again admitted the decision for Gatland to leave him out was hard to understand . " I do n't think anyone 's got their head round why he 's not in the Welsh squad to be honest , " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's just got to suck it up for a little while and do what he did today , which is play extremely well and keep working away . " There might be some fall out from the Six Nations where he finds himself back in , but we love him here . He 's a brilliant bloke , he 's a brilliant player , he 's part of that young crew that are so tight now and it 's just great for Gloucester . " Dragons boss Filo Tiatia says he should be blamed for his side 's poor start against Munster as they fell to a ninth successive defeat in the URC . The region - depleted by injuries - found themselves on the wrong side of a 38-19 defeat but the scoreline flattered them somewhat as they were overpowered by the Irish side , who scored four tries in the first 20 minutes at Rodney Parade . After trailing 31-0 at half-time , the Dragons managed to get themselves back into it through tries from prop Chris @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But it was too little , too late as the defensive shambles in the first half condemned them to another loss which leaves them bottom of the table . Despite moving into the hotseat as interim head coach in November , Tiatia is still responsible for his side 's defence and says he should take the blame for their nightmare start on Saturday . " Munster played well but defensively we were poor in the first half , " he said . " When we got it right we could control momentum , but they attacked really well in that first 40 before we made some adjustments . " It was a better defensive display in the second half and there was better character around some of the things we know we are capable of . The boys did n't give up and went to the final whistle but there are parts of the game we need to sharpen up . " The first half was my fault with some of the defensive stuff , there was poor stuff that we did n't get right . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ side , the defeat also saw them lose Taine Basham , Rodrigo Martinez , Harri Ackerman and Ryan Woodman to injury having already had several important players sidelined this season . By PA Sport Staff Prop Tadhg Furlong is out of Ireland 's Guinness Six Nations opener against England through injury . The 32-year-old Leinster front-rower will sit out Saturday 's game at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin after suffering a recurrence of a calf problem during training in Portugal . Head coach Andy Farrell has plugged the sizeable gap left by Furlong by drafting in Connacht 's Jack Aungier . An Irish Rugby Football Union statement said : " Tadhg Furlong has been ruled out of next weekend 's Guinness Men 's Six Nations opener against England after suffering a recurrence of a calf strain in training and he has returned to Dublin for further assessment . " Jack Aungier has been called up to the squad . " Marcus Smith 's last-gasp drop goal handed England a 23-22 victory over Ireland at Twickenham last year , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by them . By Chris Phillips Finn Russell pulled the strings as Premiership leaders Bath ended Sale 's unbeaten home record this season with a hard-earned 32-23 win at Salford Stadium . The Scotland fly-half created three tries - Two for Ruaridh McConnochie in the first half and the clincher six minutes from time for Tom Carr-Smith - and also added 12 points with the boot to give his side a hard-earned win on the road . Scotland coach Gregor Townsend will have been delighted to have seen Russell 's contribution ahead of the start of the Six Nations next weekend . However he will have been concerned to see flanker Josh Bayliss limp off late in the first half . It took Bath the best part of an hour to get on top of their tenacious rivals in a close contest but in the end they had just too much for Sale . England 's players were all mothballed ahead of the championship which affected the make-up of both sides . While Bath were without @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Sale had to cope without eight men.Arron Reed , added to Scotland 's Six Nations squad because of an injury doubt over Duhan van der Merwe , gave Sale an 18th-minute lead with a smart finish . Reed took Rob du Preez 's pass to dart between Joe Cokanasiga and Louis Schreuder to score out wide . The visitors hit back seven minutes later with a try from McConnochie , who dived over in the left-hand corner from Russell 's pass . And the same duo combined just before half time to good effect with Russell 's delayed pass putting the left wing clear for his second try . In between though Sale stand-off Rob du Preez burrowed over down the blind side for the Sharks ' second try after Tom O'Flaherty had been held up near to the line so the home side led 16-12 at the break .

Then his vision delivered the killer blow as , seeing there was no-one deep in defence for Sale , he hammered a penalty long from his own 22 and substitute Carr-Smith won the race to score . Russell 's added-time penalty meant that Sale did not even earn the consolation of a bonus point despite Joe Carpenter 's late try .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'plan time out of travelling to work and earn money' does not involve a V1 verb acting on an NP object to cause a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'get my kick out of' does not involve a causee NP object that participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it expresses a personal enjoyment or satisfaction derived from an activity, which is not characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'ruled out of making a late move' where 'ruled out' is a phrasal verb followed by a prepositional phrase, not involving a causee or a prevention/movement interpretation as required by the construction.

Arsenal are in the mix for a Premier League striker who does have authorisation to join a new club this window , though The Gunners must make two big commitments before sealing a deal , according to reports . It 's no secret Arsenal are seeking to sign a readymade striker who can make an instant impact before the February 3 transfer deadline . " My opinion is clear that we lost two very very important players , Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus . So we lack goals , we lack people , we lack options in the frontline , it 's clear , " Mikel Arteta said . " It is clear that in the period that we lost them , ideally we need some help . We were short already and now we are even shorter . The team still copes with that . " The likes of Matheus Cunha , Alexander Isak , Viktor Gyokeres , Victor Osimhen , Benjamin Sesko and Dusan Vlahovic have all been mentioned . But according to a fresh update from talkSPORT , Arsenal 's striker @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It 's claimed Arteta 's side ' can not be ruled out of making a late move ' for Brighton frontman , Evan Ferguson . Such a move would be a shock for several reasons , not least the fact Ferguson has a very patchy injury record and is n't even first choice for Brighton when fit . The report stated Ferguson ' would be reluctant to agree a deal with Spurs in the knowledge that Richarlison is available again and Dominic Solanke will return to fitness in around five weeks . ' In other words , Ferguson only wishes to sign for a club where he 's guaranteed -- or at the least very likely -- to play regularly . While making that commitment might not be a problem for Arsenal this season given Gabriel Jesus is sidelined with an ACL injury , there are no guarantees Ferguson would remain first choice next season . What 's more , the signing of Ferguson might not prevent Arsenal from dipping into the market once again in the summer for a player like Sesko who can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's agreement . ' In that scenario , Ferguson would likely be relegated back to a bench role and it 's highly questionable as to whether Arsenal can guarantee Ferguson the regular minutes he craves over the long haul . In other news , Arsenal expert , Charles Watts , has delivered his insight into Arsenal 's striker hunt with regards to Isak , Sesko and Gyokeres specifically . Watts toldCaughtOffSide : " Sesko still feels like the most likely one for me I have to say . His decision to stay at Leipzig in the summer and sign a new deal did not put Arsenal off . In fact it 's a decision we know they understood , whilst obviously being disappointed . " The belief is that there is a gentleman 's agreement between Sesko and Leipzig that he could leave this summer for an amount that would certainly be achievable for Arsenal . " So right now it feels like that will be the route they will try @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will be convincing Sesko that he will get plenty of game time should he decide to make the move , something they were unable to do last summer . " The interest in Isak has long been spoken about but it just looks like such a difficult deal to be able to do , even at the end of the season . " The Sweden striker will still have three years left on his deal and the price Newcastle will demand for him just feels incredibly difficult for Arsenal to be able to hit . It also looks like Newcastle will be qualifying for Europe , which would make things even more difficult . " So while he might be the dream target for Arteta , it 's tough not to see it as a bit unrealistic . Sesko feels much more gettable , which is why I still believe he is the most likely addition ahead of next season . " Watts added : " Despite the strength of the links , I would n't say it 's a certainty that Benjamin Sesko and Alexander @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of targets over the next 12 months . " Both are obviously forwards they admire greatly . We 've known that for some time , but there will be other options out there that they are thinking about . Viktor Gyokeres for example is another player we know has been watched over the past 12 months . " |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It discusses a hypothetical scenario about shopkeepers and opt-out clauses but does not involve a verb in the V1 slot causing an NP object to move out of or be prevented from an action described by a VP2[-ing] predicate. The phrase 'opt out of having their products stolen' does not align with the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

A row has broken out on a desirable street over a ' shockingly bright ' house that neighbours are comparing to the ' Love Island villa ' . Homeowners on a north London street have hit out at the owners of the controversial property following a renovation . Residents living on Hungerford Road in Islington are fuming that their neighbour has been allowed to develop their Victorian townhouse " with impunity " - despite planning rules stating the houses should remain uniform . Some claim they have always struggled to make even minor changes to their homes , which sit in a conservation area . They now say that ' shockingly bright ' lights now illuminate the front of the house , making it look like the Love Island villa or ' Las Vegas ' . Islington Council says it is ' aware of issues ' and confirmed a planning probe had been launched . The homeowner did not respond to a request for comment . One resident , who has lived on Hungerford Road for nearly 20 years with her husband , said : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . But the thing that has raised everyone 's ire is that this row of houses is identical and this is a conservation area . They are really , really strict . " Neighbours have hit out at the owners of the controversial property following a renovation ( Image : SWNS ) The woman claimed that , some years ago , she and her husband had applied to replace a window in their hallway landing . However , though the new window matched other houses on the road , they were initially rejected and had to appeal the decision before eventually being given the green light . " Even the simplest thing we have not been able to do , " the woman continued . " It 's not my business how people 's houses look . But what has annoyed and perplexed us is that they seem to be contravening the planning policy and the council are defending it . " Since the new renovations began at the house , residents have suggested to Islington Council the homeowner might be receiving " favourable treatment " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and dismayed with the general renovation of house number , and are minded to draw the conclusion that the Developer has received favourable treatment compared to other homeowners in houses which are identical in design . " This house is in a conservation area and is totally out of keeping with the appearance of the other properties on Hungerford Road , due to the developer riding roughshod . As neighbours , we have not been afforded the opportunity to develop with impunity . " Artist Andrew Pegram has lived on Hungerford Road since the 1980s and agrees that the development is out of keeping with the rest of the street . He said : " The lights are shockingly bright . A lot of us have a light , but nothing like that . There is a great deal of lighting on the back of the house as well . " Neighbours described the property as ' shockingly bright ' ( Image : SWNS ) Asked if he agrees with the comparison with the Love Island villa , Mr Pegram added : " I have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . But I have been to Reno and Las Vegas and it is something like that . " This is a row of houses that were all made to a pattern . This house looks nothing like the other houses in the street . It has nothing of the character of the rest of the street . We have lived in this house since 1980 , so we have a fairly good idea of what is loud and what is not . " Mr Pegram claimed that he too had struggled with changes to his home in the past . " This is a row of houses which has a general appearance which is uniform , and now there is one sore thumb . " We are a real community , so we are kind of offended when somebody rides roughshod over us like this . " However , Mr Pegram admitted that the area had changed considerably since he and his family first moved in , saying : " It was a little undiscovered when we first came here . " Now , we are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It 's quite a desirable street to live on , but this house undermines the desirability . " An Islington Council spokesperson said : " We are committed to ensuring that planning regulations are applied fairly and consistently across the borough . " We are aware of issues being raised by residents about a property on Hungerford Road , which is the subject of a live Enforcement Investigation to determine whether any work has been done without permission or against approved plans . " The planning department is also assessing a live planning application relating to part of the works . As such , we are not in a position to comment at this time , so as not to prejudice any part of the ongoing investigation .

( Image credit : Bungie ) Long before Destiny 2 hit the high points of Forsaken , The Witch Queen , or The Final Shape -- hell , before there was even a Destiny 2 -- The Taken King was peak Destiny . Aboard the Dreadnought , the titanic flagship spacecraft of the Hive God Oryx , the first game finally hit its stride , providing a compelling villain , an imminently repeatable public event in the Court of Oryx , and the Book of Sorrows : An in-game lore tome that turned Destiny 's melange of proper nouns into a proper mythology . Eventually , Destiny moved on . Oryx was defeated , sequels were released , free-to-play models were adopted , publishing agreements shifted , and the Dreadnought was left in space : neglected , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ livestream that aired earlier today , Bungie detailed what 's coming in next week 's launch of Destiny 2 's Heresy episode , which finally sends players back into the Dreadnought to face new horrors churning in its depths .

Unfortunately , it looks like the latest one may have resurrected a certain necromancer-deity . Oryx , Bungie delicately said in the livestream , is " back in some capacity .

The accretion of metal detectors and half-arsed pat downs from security guards are making life more inconvenient for no obvious reward , says Emma Revell The first duty of the government is to ensure the safety of its people . Unfortunately , whether measured by the security of our borders or our ability to maintain law and order on our streets , it 's hard to pretend that recent governments have been doing a good job . In the hierarchy of needs , feeling safe sits alongside access to food , water and shelter . Without a feeling of safety , and trust that those supposed to keep you safe are able to deliver , it is hard to prioritise anything more abstract . Catastrophic failures by the police and security services -- like the abhorrent knife attacks in Southport -- immediately permeate the public consciousness and it is only natural that events like this shake our sense of safety , especially with the widespread rioting that followed . But while horrific , headline-dominating events @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do its job , ' minor ' infractions lead to a ramping up of security measures which seem to do little more than make life just that bit more annoying . Enter security theatre . We 've all been there . The half-arsed pat down from a security guard before the turnstiles on match day , a split-second glance at an open backpack before heading into a gig , queuing to go through metal detectors on the way into an art gallery or museum . Some are small responsibilities outsourced to bored-looking private security guards , and others are much larger , at the behest of the police or security services .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It mentions 'Ademola Lookman has been ruled out of participating due to a knee ailment,' which involves 'ruled out of' followed by a gerund, but it lacks an NP object that functions as a causee and does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it simply states a fact about a player's unavailability.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('owning a home rules them out of receiving State support'). It involves a prevention interpretation ('owning a home prevents them from receiving State support'). The verb 'rules' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure metaphorically. The NP object 'them' functions as a causee, and the construction allows for a prevention interpretation, making it an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'rules them out of receiving State support' does not involve a VP2[-ing] predicate that induces either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'receiving State support' is a gerund phrase functioning as the object of the preposition 'of', not as a predicate. Therefore, it does not qualify as an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

For all those of you who have ever wanted to have your say on betting-related matters , here 's your chance . The Racing Post has launched the second Big Punting Survey with the aim of finding out more about you , your habits and concerns . It 's two years since the original Big Punting Survey , the biggest survey we had ever run of racing bettors , which had an immediate impact and was hailed as " an important piece of research " by the BHA , the sport 's ruling body .

More than half of those asked for documentation said they had refused to hand it over -- and that position was arguably justified by what happened to those who attempted to comply , more than half of whom ended up with a staking limit being imposed or their account frozen . Meanwhile , 96.6 per cent of punters felt that it was they -- as opposed to the government , the Gambling Commission or their bookmakers -- who were best placed to assess whether their betting was affordable .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'gets quite a kick out of surprising people' involves the verb 'gets' with an NP object 'a kick' and the prepositional phrase 'out of surprising people', but it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it expresses enjoyment or satisfaction from an action, which is not aligned with the defined properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Prince William was in his element as enjoyed a very rural royal outing this week . The future king - who , like Princess Kate , has a known love of the outdoors - headed to Lower Blakemere Farm in Hereford , where he met with Phil and Heather Gorringe along with their son , Monty . And he made quite an impression on the family . Heather has opened up about William 's down-to-earth visit , which saw him shown a new grain store and some regenerative farming equipment at work , before joining the Gorringes on a walk around the farm - which stands on Duchy of Cornwall land - to check out their composting projects . Heather told People : " He 's such a nice guy , is n't he ? He seems really down to earth -- and miles taller than I ever imagined . And he loved the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The worms in question were a part of the ' Wiggly Wigglers wormery ' , which was created by Heather for their domestic waste . William appeared fascinated by the construction . " Wormery ? Is that a technical term ? " he asked his hostess . " Oh my goodness , look at that , " he further marvelled at the household waste and the dark material it created . " It 's like black gold , " Heather told him . Despite his position as the future king , William is universally praised for his down-to-earth nature . Just recently he stunned onlookers when he stopped off at a Wetherspoons pub in Binrmingham to enjoy a pint with fellow Aston Villa fans . One fan , Steve Jones , 56 , said of the Prince : " He was fantastic . I was quite amazed about how engaged he was with the club and his interest . He 's not a fair weather fan . He really loves the club with a passion . We spoke about the club , the transfers , the pending @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Villa . He asked many questions , he 's got a good level of interest . " Steve continued : " It was 95 per cent chat about Villa as that 's our shared interest but a bit about his family . Young George is a Villa fan but he did n't want all three to be Villa fans . He was massively interested and seemed a really genuine guy and all he wanted to do is talk about Villa . " She told the Mirror : " For a while now , William has been putting into action the way that he intends to do the job . And that , as he now made clear , is royal with a small r . You could say that the small ' r ' also stands for relatable , because that is what he is showing himself to be .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'a note from Sony on the PlayStation blog states' is the NP subject, 'ruling' is V1, 'it' is the NP object, and 'appearing on PlayStation Plus either' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also induces a prevention interpretation, as the action of ruling out prevents the game from appearing on PlayStation Plus.

By Lauren Izso and Lianne Kolirin , CNN 4 minute read Updated 2:24 PM EST , Wed January 29 , 2025 Link Copied ! The three Israeli hostages due to be released in Gaza : Arbel Yehoud ( left ) , Agam Berger ( center ) and Gadi Moses . Hostages and Missing Families Forum CNN -- The three Israeli hostages due to be released in Gaza on Thursday have been named by the Israeli Prime Minister 's Office ( PMO ) , which also confirmed that five Thai nationals will be freed . " The list of names received from Hamas today by the mediators Qatar and Egypt includes : Arbel Yehoud ( 29 years old ) , Agam Berger ( 19 ) and Gadi Moses ( 80 ) , " the PMO said . The names of the five Thai citizens to be freed have not been made public . Israeli authorities are also expected to release 110 Palestinian prisoners on Thursday @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and another 30 are children , according to Hamas . A total of 33 Israeli hostages taken captive by Hamas and other armed groups in the October 7 attacks were set to be freed in phase one of the ceasefire and hostages release deal between Israel and Hamas . Two rounds of releases have already taken place . Meanwhile , Israel will release a total of almost 2,000 Palestinian prisoners in the first phase . Eight of the remaining Israeli hostages set to be released are dead , Israeli government spokesperson David Mencer said on Monday . All three Israeli hostages named for release on Thursday are believed to be alive , according to the Hostage and Missing Families Forum . Yehoud was kidnapped from her home in the Nir Oz kibbutz , along with her partner Ariel Cunio , the forum said on Wednesday . Moses , a grandfather and keen agronomist , also was taken from Nir Oz . The kibbutz was among the hardest-hit of the communities targeted by Hamas in the attacks of October 7 , 2023 , with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ either killed or kidnapped . Osnat Peri , the chairwoman of Kibbutz Nir Oz , described the news of the releases as " an exciting moment for us , and another step on the long road to bringing all our loved ones home . " However , she also noted that of the 76 people kidnapped from the community , 29 remained in Gaza , and said that the " struggle will continue " until all were returned . " Many others were murdered , homes were burned , and the entire community was uprooted , " she said , adding , " The road to recovery and the return of everyone home is still long , but we are not giving up . " Moses ' family said Wednesday they had " received with great excitement the wonderful news of our beloved Gadi 's return to us tomorrow , " thanking " the people of Israel for their embrace and support . " The third Israeli hostage to be returned Thursday , Berger , was a soldier abducted from a military base besid ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said it too would " not give up or stop at any stage until all hostages return home -- down to the very last one -- the living for rehabilitation and the deceased for proper burial . " The news of Thursday 's releases comes as a former hostage thanked a female soldier freed last week for saving her life . Amit Soussana , who was released during an earlier , short-lived ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in November 2023 , spoke in an emotional interview with Israeli TV about her experiences in captivity -- and the bravery of her fellow captive Liri Albag , who was freed on Saturday . Soussana credited Albag , 19 , with talking one of her captors out of killing her . The 40-year-old lawyer spent the first three weeks of her captivity in solitary confinement , with only her captor -- who allegedly sexually assaulted her -- for company . But after Israel launched its ground offensive in late October , she was moved to another location within @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ journalist Ben Shani , in an episode of " Uvda " on Israel 's Channel Keshet 12 , that there were four other hostages at the second site -- including Albag . The group immediately bonded with Soussana and told her about their captors , singling out one who she labelled a " psychopath . " On one occasion , she said , he hit her in the neck with his gun , and threatened to " kill " her . He and others then bound her arms and legs to two sticks and strung her up between two sofas , said Soussana . " I was tied to one stick by my hands and one by my feet and hung upside down and with duct tape on my face , " she added , while one of the men beat her . She said she quickly learnt that they thought she was an IDF officer and were trying to obtain information from her . Soussana alleged the other hostages were brought in to convince her to confess .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'the supporters trust' (NP subject) + 'are keen to ensure' (V1) + 'grassroots fans' (NP object) + 'out of attending games' (VP2[-ing] predicate). It also induces a prevention interpretation, meaning the supporters trust aims to prevent grassroots fans from being unable to attend games due to high prices. The NP object 'grassroots fans' functions as a causee, and the construction fits the semantic requirements of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It involves the phrase 'come out of existing budgets', where 'existing budgets' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate.

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

The phrase 'taking me out of training' does not involve a VP2[-ing] predicate that would induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Picture by Margaret McLaughlin Karl O'Connell has returned to the Farney fold after injuries affected last year 's Championship campaign . Picture by Margaret McLaughlin Once the 30 barrier is crossed , winter rarely passes without the odd gentle inquiry about what the future holds -- assuming there is a future at all . Now 37 , the Tyholland man has had a good few years firing off the same answer . If the body is right , and all is well between work and home , count me in . Go until you can go no more ; it has become the Farney way . This time , though , it was n't so straightforward because the body was n't right , or at least it had n't been by the time new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , this was uncharted territory . In the 13 years since making his county debut , he had never suffered a major injury . Even the handful of games he did n't play were at the manager 's discretion , each one coming like a dagger to the heart . And then , last spring , a sharp pain in the abdomen shook him up for a few days . Physios worked their magic , and all was good again , nothing to see here - until a few months later , and a Championship clash with Kerry in Killarney . Of all the times , of all the places . " Something had been niggling at me for a few days , but I got through the first half fine . " Then at the start of the second , I collided with one of the Kerry players , and it felt like my right foot was stuck in the ground and my whole body stretched to the one side ... it was the most horrific pain I 've ever experienced . " Acute @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ McConnell , typically , tried to run it off . But the next 15 minutes were torture as Vinny Corey 's men fell further behind en route to a 10-point hammering . " The more I was moving , the more it was getting worse . I was getting slower , but for some reason the worse it got the more I ended up on the ball , " he laughs ruefully " That was probably one of the most horrific games I 've ever been involved in , just the way it panned out . " This is where a bit of O'Connell 's personality comes into play . Missing minutes , even at his age , is not something that will ever sit easily . Standing in the tunnel at Kingspan Breffni , his legs were shaking as nervous energy flowed . It 's just how he is wired . " It was only when we were standing for the photo I thought ' what am I even doing here ? ' " That 's why I would n't be an easy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do everything in my power to bend the rules with them . " Even in Vinny 's first year when he was taking me out of training , which without a doubt benefitted me so much , I was n't taking it well -- I was like ' what 's going on here ? ' Not accepting it , because I 'd never been in that position . " Vinny had obviously experienced that himself and knew the benefits ... it was just something I had to get my head around , with the age and the miles on the clock . " And so , despite being withdrawn in agony 20 minutes from the end at Fitzgerald Stadium , O'Connell went hell for leather to get himself right for the Louth game two weeks later . Corey decided to hold him in reserve , sending him on for Kieran Duffy at half-time . " I was putting pressure on myself to make that game , where Vinny said he was n't going to chance me -- I probably was n't too happy about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .... " Because , eight minutes after running on , he was hobbling off when another innocuous enough challenge saw him fall backwards . " Right there I felt something just rip . " A torn adductor sent shockwaves through his system , leading to chronic pain and severe swelling right across the pubic area . The final round robin game against Meath was the first Championship outing he had n't togged out for in his county career , before Galway brought the curtain down on a forgettable year for the Farney . " That 's why coming back in was n't as straightforward a decision as in previous years . " That adductor injury led to fairly big complications , pushing the pubic plate out of place , so around that core area I had no power . " When I was doing rehab trying to get back for club championship , it would be fine , but then a few days after this outrageous pain would arrive where you would n't be fit to walk , get into the car , holding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at that stage I was more worried about the impact on everyday life , rather than football , because it was just so sore . I was walking like a penguin . " Thankfully the adductor has healed very well , from what I was told by the consultant I was very lucky not to need surgery . " If there had been any pain once he returned to running , that would likely have been the end of the story . But he got through the final three games of Tyholland 's championship campaign , slowly but surely building into the winter months . O'Connell , Darren Hughes and Conor McManus would text updates among themselves every now and again , each offering words of encouragement to the other . O'Connell was the first to signal his return , then Hughes . Unfortunately for McManus , though , there was no more juice left to squeeze after dragging every last drop from a troublesome hip problem . That 's why , despite the frustrations 2024 brought , O'Connell knows he is lucky to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ panel in the coming weeks , throwing his shoulder back to the wheel . " The two boys have always been a big help to me , whether inside or outside of football . It 's just the connection you build up ... " I 've gone my whole county career without a serious injury , so I 've done pretty well . I probably wake up with grade two tears every day of the week , " he laughs , " but thankfully everything is going okay at the minute . " The likes of me and Darren were in a different situation than Conor has been in ; we knew what he had been going through for years , and when it 's affecting your everyday life , particularly at that age , it 's a tough call -- but probably the right call .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'the girls' (NP subject) 'talk' (V1) 'themselves' (NP object) 'out of committing murder' (VP2[-ing] predicate). It also allows for a reflexive NP object coreferential with the subject, which is an atypical but acceptable type of NP object in the transitive out of -ing construction. The interpretation is prevention, as the girls are preventing themselves from committing murder.

Soho Theatre , until 8 February Southwark Playhouse , until 8 February Santi & Naz is a drama set in the Punjab in 1947 that uses an ancient and thrilling storyline about domestic violence . The main characters are a pair of young lesbians who plot to kill Naz 's bridegroom , Nadim , on the eve of the wedding . They discuss stabbing or poisoning him and eventually they decide to drown him in the village lake . This is a strange play . It wants to teach us about Indian society in the 1940s while assuming we 're experts There are many motives for this murder . Santi and Naz hate men . They detest the custom of marriage which forces women to endure painful sexual couplings . And Santi fears that Naz will be unsafe in her marital home because ' Muslim husbands beat their wives ' . Nadim has already been discourteous to Naz by calling her a ' witch ' and using other unkind remarks , in Urdu , which are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Nadim to death . However , this fascinating set-up arrives in the final moments of the play and not at the start , where it belongs . And the girls quickly talk themselves out of committing murder and downgrade their attack to a harmless prank . They plan to shove Nadim into the lake , steal his clothes and force him to walk home naked . But even this jape does n't materialise because independence day arrives on 14 August , 1947 , and the entire country is engulfed by sectarian violence . Nadim 's marriage to Naz is forgotten as the two girls contemplate the horrific aftermath of partition . This is a very strange play . It wants to teach us about Indian society in the 1940s while simultaeously assuming that we 're experts on the subject already . The girls spend a lot of time performing satirical sketch routines . Santi mocks Gandhi 's strangulated speech tones and Naz impersonates the swaggering grandiloquence of Muhammad Ali Jinnah . |

It is hardly a secret that Scotland is home to some of the prettiest towns , villages , and cities in the UK and beyond . Regardless of where you live in the country , there will probably be some gorgeous green space to walk around in nearby . At the very least , you wo n't be too far from a fascinating tourist spot or yummy caf ? or restaurant . As 2025 begins in earnest , now is the perfect time to make a major move if you are n't happy where you live . With so many destinations to choose from in Scotland , the Daily Record has put together a list of 20 of the best places to live across the country . Whether you are fed up of city living and want to relocate to a peaceful fishing village , or the opposite is true and you are considering making the move to a major city , you are certainly spoiled for choice . Even if you are happy where you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , you are sure to find the list helpful . Read on for the Daily Record 's top 20 places to live in Scotland in 2025 . Melrose ( Image : Antonel / Getty Images ) Melrose is widely considered to be the prettiest town in the Borders , and it is hard to argue with that reputation after seeing it for yourself . Sitting next to the Eildon Hills , it is perhaps best known for the ruined Melrose Abbey that dates back to 1136 -- where a container said to hold the embalmed heart of Robert the Bruce himself was discovered . The town itself is a joy to walk around , with a wealth of shops and tea rooms to discover . Meanwhile , when the sun is shining , the town 's two National Trust for Scotland gardens -- Priorwood and Harmony Gardens -- are both a lovely spot for a wander or even a picnic . It is hard to live up to the nickname ' Riviera of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and mouthwatering fish suppers , Lossiemouth easily deserves the title . A scenic escape from the hustle and bustle , the tranquil town offers a wide selection of peaceful walks to head out on . Nestled along the lovely Moray coast , most of Lossiemouth sits on top of a cliff and so offers gorgeous views out over the water . Meanwhile , in terms of food , the aforementioned fish suppers come courtesy of the renowned Lossie Chip Shop , while The Steamboat Bar is a local institution that is beloved for its friendly service and bustling atmosphere . Portree ( Image : Faba-Photograhpy / Getty Images ) While the Isle of Skye is home to a wide variety of charming villages that offer true quiet and privacy , its capital town of Portree finds the perfect balance between peaceful island living and the bustling energy of a market town . Dating back around 200 years , it started life as a fishing village but has grown into a thriving seaside community . Portree is centred around a gorgeous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ main cultural hub -- hosting frequent concerts and film screenings . The town 's culinary scene is also surprisingly varied given its relatively small size , with seafood specialists The Lower Deck , small plates restaurant Scorrybreac , and cosy pub The Isles Inn being among the standouts . The only city in Scotland to appear on our list , Aberdeen is long overdue for a reappraisal . The Granite City may not be as popular as Edinburgh or Glasgow , but it offers everything that you could want out of a city -- with a significantly cheaper cost of living . From the picturesque and clean Aberdeen Beach and beautiful Duthie Park Winter Gardens to the fascinating Aberdeen Maritime Museum , there is no shortage of ways to spend a day out in the city . Elsewhere , when it comes to food , the jewels in Aberdeen 's crown are the Michelin-recommended Caf ? Boh ? me and Amuse by Kevin Dalgleish . The East Neuk of Fife is often regarded as one of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a few hours in St Monans there is no way you wo n't agree . The small village , found around 12 miles out of St Andrews , is the smallest of the fishing ports in the East Neuk and so is ideal if you are looking for somewhere far from the chaos of city living . Home to colourful fishermen 's cottages and a romantic three-pier harbour , you would be forgiven for thinking you have been transported back hundreds of years in time . Situated on the Fife Coastal Path walking route , there is plenty of opportunity for scenic hikes in St Monans too . Dunkeld ( Image : lucentius / Getty Images ) Nestled along the banks of the River Tay in Perthshire , Dunkeld is a village where time seems to stand still . Walking around its quiet streets and perusing its various independent stores and bakeries , you can almost feel the stresses of modern life melting away . Stanley Hill Park is the place to head for a walk or picnic , while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the centre of town give the sense that history is all around you . Food lovers are also spoilt for choice , with the Atholl Arms Hotel and Redwood Wines being just a few of the restaurants that serve up tasty home-cooked plates . This seaside town and former royal burgh 's reputation precedes it , with North Berwick frequently named on lists of the prettiest destinations in Scotland . In this case , though , the hype is more than justified . Just 30 minutes out of Edinburgh by train , North Berwick could n't feel further away from the Scottish capital in vibe . From its numerous beaches and world-famous golf courses to its various chippies and ice cream parlours , it has the atmosphere of a classic seaside resort . Arbroath ( Image : Dennis Barnes / Getty Images ) The biggest settlement in Angus , Arbroath still feels small -- in the best possible way . It offers the best of both worlds : the amenities of a large town and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ village . Maybe most famous for its Arbroath Smokie delicacy -- haddock smoked over wood fires -- there is plenty else going on in terms of food in Arbroath . The Old Boatyard Restaurant specialises in fresh seafood dishes , using only the finest locally-sourced ingredients , while Copper Oven is a pizzeria that serves up Neapolitan-style pizza , small-plate antipasti , and ice cream . If you are a book lover , then this peaceful Dumfries and Galloway town will be a haven . Officially declared Scotland 's National Book Town back in 1998 , Wigtown features a wide range of bookstores and literature-related businesses . As if that was n't enough , every year in September the town hosts the annual Wigtown Book Festival . Featuring an enormous programme of panels , workshops , and more for all ages , the festival only cements Wigtown 's status as a paradise for bibliophiles . Lerwick ( Image : Michele D'Amico supersky77 / Getty Images ) Shetland 's main town and port , Lerwick is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ residents . This makes it the perfect base from which you can explore the islands , featuring all of the amenities you would want and need in a peaceful and friendly setting . When it comes to things to do around Lerwick , the Mareel music , cinema , and creative industries centre hosts regular performances and productions . Meanwhile , the Shetland Museum and Archives is the place to head to learn more about Shetland 's unique heritage and culture . At the end of January each year , Lerwick hosts Up Helly Aa - Europe 's biggest fire festival . Hundreds of local men carry paraffin torches around the town before launching them onto a Viking longboat and partying the night away in various halls throughout the town . The procession is led by the Guizer Jarl , who has waited 15 years for his time as the chief , and his Jarl Squad , dressed in their Viking warrior outfits . Home to a population of less than 500 , Plockton in the Wester Ross area of the Scottish @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dreamed of getting away from the noise of city living and starting over , this is the kind of place you could imagine doing it . Often referred to as the ' Jewel of the Highlands ' , Plockton is tucked along the shores of a sheltered bay and offers magnificent views out across the tranquil Loch Carron . A village is nothing without a good local chippy , though , and thankfully The Shores is easily one of the best in the whole of Scotland . This gorgeous harbour town south of Aberdeen may be most famous for its annual Hogmanay ceremony , but that is far from all it has to offer . In fact , Stonehaven is an unforgettable destination that is known for its one-of-a-kind character and charm . Stonehaven is framed by its harbour , which is the biggest of the recreational harbours in Aberdeenshire , while top local highlights include Dunnottar Castle and the Stonehaven Open Air Swimming Pool . You can also head to the renowned Ship Inn , which serves up a wide array of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kirkwall , Orkney Kirkwall is the largest town and main settlement on Orkney , home to a population of around 10,000 .

There is plenty on offer when it comes to food as well , with standouts including the traditional railroad-style Helgi 's pub and the boutique Storehouse hotel and restaurant . Affectionately known by locals as ' The Street ' , Applecross is mainly centred around one long road that is home to most of its sights . Set within the scenic peninsula of the same name in Wester Ross , the one-of-a-kind vistas around Applecross almost make you feel like you are on the edge of the world . Hard to reach , accessible only via a drive that is as difficult and winding as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if you want to feel as far removed from modern civilisation as you can . That 's not to say the village has nothing to offer , though , with an art gallery , a gift shop , and the cosy Applecross Inn being a few of the businesses worth checking out . Helensburgh ( Image : tekinturkdogan / Getty Images ) A lovely Victorian holiday resort sitting along the River Clyde , Helensburgh is home to attractive buildings , pretty streets lined with trees , and wealth of green space . Accessible from Glasgow in less than an hour , it is the ideal spot for those who want to be near Scotland 's largest city but still have the benefits of living in a smaller town . Aside from its wide variety of independent stores and caf ? s , some of the top sights in Helensburgh include The Hill House and the Scottish Submarine Centre . The former is widely regarded as Charles Rennie Mackintosh 's domestic masterpiece , while the latter offers an immersive experience in which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

Plans to demolish a bungalow and replace it with a new larger home have been rubber-stamped by the council . The two-bedroom bungalow , which is in Cedar Crescent in Thame , would be demolished and replaced with a four-bedroom home described as " suitable for modern living " . A total of 11 neighbours objected to the plans on the grounds for a number of reasons , chiefly that the height of the building would negatively impact privacy and that it was " out of keeping with the area " . The plans were approved under the condition the large rooflight would have obscure glazing to alleviate neighbours concerns about privacy . Residents also objected over concerns the plans could lead to a loss of bungalows in the area , contrary to the local plan , and the site would be overdeveloped in a way that was disproportionate to its size .

IN THE court of Emperor Trump the oligarchs rule . At least they think they do . But as in any feudal system , even the oligarchs are just courtiers . Courtier power is conditional , not on the amount of cash you shower upon the emperor but on the ability to constantly praise his every word . The battleground between courtiers then becomes " who gets closest to the emperor 's ear " ? At the moment Elon Musk has Trump 's ear . Musk is not just an increasingly right-wing media mogul who helped rig the election in Trump 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the AfD in Germany , the Reform Party in Britain and any number of right-wing movements across the globe . This is what modern feudalism looks like . For the rest of the world , however imperfect our democracies may be , the important thing now is to form alliances that might defend both democracy and the planet . This will be as much of a challenge for the left as the centre . For Britain , what it means is that Starmer 's Labour also needs a rapid and radical reset ; something way beyond the language and priorities offered so far . Britain must abandon any illusions about a " special relationship " with the United States . Under Trump , this is no more than the relationship between the groomer and the groomed . It was not for nothing that Jeffrey Epstein called Trump his best friend . Trump will only ever see Starmer , Lammy and Mandelson as his personal totty ; to be used , abused and discarded as the mood takes him . The rest of Britain will fare even worse . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ term of office delivered huge tax cuts to the corporate rich . Now they are back for more . For all his shortcomings , Joe Biden attempted to rescue the real economy ( and maybe the planet ) . Donald does n't give a duck about either . His Mar-a-Lago lot are looters not lifesavers . Their demands for deregulation and deportations will wreak havoc with the US economy . So too will Trump 's threat of tariff impositions on imports . Canada has already pointed out that the main " deficit " item in US-Canada trade is their supply of cheap energy surpluses to the US . Tax this and the price of everything in the US will spiral . Wild weather events have already hit US food prices and farmers are suddenly panicking that mass deportations will leave them without an undocumented agricultural workforce to exploit . It is the same in the manufacturing sector , kitchen work and social care . Add to this the arbitrary job destruction facing those in equalities work , regulatory protection and ( now ) academia and you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ embraces you ' Meanwhile , south of the border , Mexico prepares to receive a potential human landslide with astonishing humanity . Huge tents are being constructed to receive whatever swathes of the five million undocumented Mexican workers are set to be deported from the US . In truth , this presents an enormous challenge for Mexico . But the hole left in the US economy will be no less vast . Thank goodness the US has n't faced any wild weather catastrophes that could have ripped great holes in their economy and social fabric . Ooops ! But that 's exactly what the US has faced . And these offer the most fitting metaphor for Trump 's second term . The firestorm of executive orders from Trump is consuming everything in its path . Just as one element of democratic rights gets razed to the ground , a change in the direction of Trump-wind trashes another . Every element of civil liberties , corporate constraint , democratic scrutiny and climate survival is being trashed by his regulatory bonfire . Trump 's policy-making is as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Greenland and the Panama Canal . Tomorrow he may rename the planet " Trumpland " or claim Somerset as the next American state . Britain needs firebreak protection against such insanities , not a trade deal that sucks us in . To begin with , Starmer needs to understand the difference between the words " declutter " and " deregulate . " Much of Britain 's decision-making processes can be tediously drawn out and bureaucratic . A more dynamic economy can come from setting higher ( but simpler ) standards . Most of these involve meeting climate goals rather than abandoning them . Look at some of the practical examples of moving into post-fossil-fuel economics : * In Germany , Freiberg 's Vauban estate generates more electricity than it consumes , delivering energy security , low bills and a near zero-carbon footprint . This was a precondition set for developers ; raising the planning bar rather than diving into deregulation . The bids came in accordingly . By the year 2000 the whole estate was up and running. * In the Netherlands @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ include gas heating. * Parts of Europe already insist that public transport networks ( bus or tram ) form an integral part of all development proposals . * In Norway , public-sector car loan schemes are restricted to EV purchases . ( The same approach could be taken to the tax treatment of private-sector vehicle support schemes ) , and* Denmark races on-shore wind projects through the planning process if they are owned and submitted by local community co-operatives as part of local energy programmes . This is a commitment that builds decarbonisation and democratisation into tomorrow 's energy system thinking . To pay for such initiatives , innovative forms of co-financing have been created . Central governments , local authorities , insurers , pension funds and climate banks have teamed up to make low-carbon housing the new norm . None were done by privatisation or deregulation . Casino economics were kept well out of everything . Moreover , by making low-cost finance conditional on post-construction inspection , tenants and owners get far greater protection against shoddy building . This is what a visionary Labour chancellor should be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump may be obsessed with " Drill , baby , drill ! " but the world is heading elsewhere . If Labour can not bring itself to be led by climate science , or by the wild weather events already trashing conventional economics , at least look at where the smart money is going . In a prescient critique of the Davos failure to put Trump in his place , the analyst Gerard Reid pointed out that " last year , more money was invested in solar power than in the entire oil and gas industry combined . Why ? Because electricity is the future . " Over the past 24 months , more solar capacity has been installed globally than in the previous 24 years combined ! To put that into perspective , there was 600GW of solar added globally last year compared to only 3GW of nuclear . " In terms of electricity production those 600GW will produce over 1,000TWh of electricity this year , which is 50 per cent greater than the power consumption of Germany in a year ! And this trend to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drop another 25 per cent this year , and plug-and-play systems ( with no electrician needed for installation ) the next big leap forward . " Going forward , batteries and other storage solutions will replace fossil fuels as the cornerstone of 24/7 power systems , embedded in homes , businesses and electric vehicles . Point again is the speed of change . Batteries are already everywhere and can be installed quickly , cost effectively and anywhere , just like solar . " Trump grasps none of this . Or if he does , the oligarchs surrounding him want none of it . Actually , it 's the other way round . They want everything . But only deregulated , Wild West economics would allow them to do so . The public -- whether in the US , Britain or anywhere else -- no longer matter . Bereft of Trump , Labour does n't know where to turn . This is n't just Starmer . It applies equally to the left . And one honest starting point would to admit that Brexit screwed us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the EU but I ca n't think of a single way in which I am better off outside it . Maybe the financial sector has done well . The richest of the rich have certainly prospered . But the rest of the economy is flailing . And Labour plans for a new runway at Heathrow merely demonstrate how bereft we are of fresh ideas . In the big challenges coming our way -- food shortages , energy insecurity , flood , drought and ecosystem breakdown , internet insecurity and descent into the disinformation society -- progressive politics must urgently repair some old fences and build some new ones . Brexit divided the left as much as the right . And today , both Starmer and Reeves seem impaled on the same political ambiguities . If he had any sense , following his phone call to Trump , Starmer would send a team to Brussels saying " Come back with your best ' Rejoin ' offer and we 'll put it to the vote . " It is what trade union negotiators have to do . The final @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ decide . Farage would be livid . Musk and Trump too . But let Labour pick a fight with the real enemy not seek to befriend it . This is the most perilous stage of human existence , with economic breakdown and climate collapse threatening us all . It is a time that calls for leadership -- real , visionary leadership -- not appeasement . Churchill summed up our predicament when he said : " An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile , hoping it will eat him last . " Surely Britain can still aspire to being something better than a late lunch . Alan Simpson is a former Labour member of Parliament ( 1992-2010 ) for Nottingham South . |

A club of Manchester United 's stature should be good enough to win the Europa League , to conquer some of the continent 's weaker , less affluent rivals and give Ruben Amorim a major trophy in his first season . A difficult , troubled and , at several points , worrying campaign could have a memorable silver lining . But how much confidence do you have in this group to complete that mission ? The tests will get harder , even for a side who can be happy with their third-place finish at the end of a protracted , but unbeaten , league phase . Lazio and Athletic Bilbao finished above them , while the likes of Eintracht Frankfurt , Olympiacos , Roma and of course , Tottenham Hotspur will present significant obstacles -- the sort United have struggled to overcome . Their potential opponents in the last 16 already look considerably more daunting , with one of either AZ Alkmaar , Midtjylland , Real Sociedad or Galatasaray up next . But after a testing first couple of months , Amorim is starting to sound more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can go game by game and we can win it , " he replied when asked if United had played well enough to be considered one of the favourites to win the final in Bilbao in May . " Then you have the responsibility , no matter the context , you are in Manchester United so you must fight for winning trophies . So we will see . " When you get to this stage of any competition , anything is possible and they can prove , on a good day , they can win against anybody . So we can think about that winning the competition . " The defeat of Romania 's FCSB did not tell us much . Indeed , it took the introduction of Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho at half-time to threaten a resolute and organised defence , building the pressure that led to Diogo Dalot 's goal just after the hour mark . Diogo Dalot slots home from a Kobbie Mainoo assist to give Man United the lead over FCSB ? ? They 're automatically through to the Europa League @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kobbie Mainoo added a second , from a Garnacho pass , it was a good night for United . It was their third victory in a row under Amorim . Momentum appears to be building . The same can be said for Mainoo . The England international has had a tricky period in his young career but a first goal of the season can do wonders for confidence . It was a deliberate decision to shift the midfielder higher up the pitch that paid dividends for Amorim . " I put Kobbie Mainoo in the No 10 position , " he said . " We need time to understand the players , as he was struggling a lot defending as a midfielder . As a 10 he was so free playing the ball near the box . " Kobbie Mainoo with a smooth finish to extend Man United 's lead ? ? ? ? ? He has a goal and assist in his first start in attacking midfield under Ruben Amorim ? ? Nevertheless , this was a game United should have won anyway . The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ FCSB are second in the Romanian SuperLiga . Their entire squad cost less to put together than United spent on substitute Joshua Zirkzee in the summer . United controlled the tempo of the game throughout , but still struggled to turn their dominance into scoring chances . Rasmus Hojlund worked hard but could not score again , the 24th game this season in which he has failed to find the back of the net . It raises the question , again , why on earth did United spend ? 72 million on a centre-forward who rarely looks like scoring , even against opponents as timid and weak as these ? This was a game Amorim would have earmarked as a perfect confidence-boosting opportunity for the Dane . The Europa League , though , has rapidly moved to the top of Amorim 's priority list . A long run in Europe is the most effective way to distract from the lack of progress being made on the home front . They have a shot at glory . Whether they are good enough to take it is another matter . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anyone of the 24 sides left in the competition . FCSB lost to Rangers 4-0 last year , but the home side should have scored early , as three players were left unmarked to attack a free-kick , Mihai Popescu heading wide when it looked easier to hit the target . United , though , were comfortable enough and Mainoo should have given Amorim 's side the lead midway through the first half . Rasmus Hojlund was ineffective in front of goal yet again Credit : Reuters/Stefan Constantin It was a good move down the left and Hojlund did everything right , drawing the defenders to him , before cutting the ball back for the midfielder to run on to . His shot , though , flew into the stands . If Hojlund deserves praise for his involvement in that move , there was not much else from him . A weak header at the goalkeeper from Lisandro Mart ? nez 's lofted pass , a lot of running around , not a lot of danger created for the home team 's defence . Amorim looked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Diallo and Garnacho and the latter could have scored within two minutes . Pouncing on an underhit back-pass , he was left with only the goalkeeper to beat , but his chipped shot spun as it bounced and clipped the outside of the post . A Hojlund turn and shot rolled gently into the arms of the goalkeeper , but after Bruno Fernandes had hit the crossbar with a long-range strike , United finally got their goal through Dalot , who thumped his chest defiantly in celebration . It was a lead they almost lost immediately , Florin Tanase 's strike from the edge of the area smashing against the bar , bouncing down , but not over the line . I think we controlled the game very well ; we had a lot more possession . We have to understand the opponent : with all due respect it 's not the same level as the Premier League . So we had more time to think , to connect the play . I think Kobbie in that position ( No10 ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ much responsibility running back . The lads did a good job -- we kept a clean sheet again . We have to score more goals but in the end it was a good day for us . In the first half they ran a lot to cover all the spaces , so you feel in the second half the opponent will get tired and it 's easier for the guys who come on as substitutes . But of course Garna has a different pace -- he 's more like a forward , a winger ; Amad is really good one against one and can open more space . We want to improve a lot . We need to play like this against an opponent with more quality . The most important thing is not ( three wiuns in a row ) , it is the next game . The biggest thing , more than the win tonight , is to have ( two free midweeks in February ) . " Kobbie in that position played very well , with more freedom " Ruben Amorim was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but knows there 's still room for improvement ? ? Manchester United proceed straight to the last 16 after an ultimately comfortable win in Bucharest . They struggled to penetrate in the first half but the introduction of Amad Diallo and especially Alejandro Garnacho changed the mood and pace of the game . Diogo Dalot scored the first after a fine ball from Kobbie Mainoo , who scored the second to cap an exciting performance in an unusual No10 role . The other games have n't finished but at the moment United 's potential opponents are Midtjylland , AZ Alkmaar , Real Sociedad or Galatasaray . Kobbie Mainoo made one and scored one in a new role at No10 .

Moments later , Fernandes runs onto a neat backheel from Garnacho , draws the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Both teams know this game is over , so it 's all about what happens next . FCSB are 11th and will need a very unlikely turn of events to finish in the top eight ; even so , a play-off place is a terrific effort . Man Utd have been so much better in the second half , not just the goals but the speed , penetration and imagination of their play . Hojlund almost gets a third , stabbing a shot into the side netting after a defensive mistake . Who 'd have thought at the start of the season that Manchester United would look better with Bruno Fernandes as a No8 and Kobbie Mainoo at No10 ? It 's only one game , against a modest team , so we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , passing ability in tight areas and resting heart rate in the penalty box make him a really interesting option .

Amad took a quick throw to Mainoo , who drove a brilliant low cross that was turned in at the far post by Dalot . Diogo Dalot slots home from a Kobbie Mainoo assist to give Man United the lead over FCSB ? ? They 're automatically through to the Europa League Round of 16 as things stand ? ? Radunovic wins a corner on the left for FCSB , their first of the game . All three of their goals in the previous Europe League game against Qarabag came from corners . But this time Tanase 's delivery is poor and United clear at the near post . An early chance for Man United in the second half as Alejandro Garnacho clips the post ? ? Before the game Ruben Amorim implored his Manchester United team to keep the ball . They did that pretty well -- but they did very little with the ball against an organised FCSB defence . Kobbie Mainoo and Christian Eriksen had half chances ; that was about it . At the other Mihai Popescu volleyed fractionally wide , though I suspect any goal would have been ruled out for offside . As things stand United are in fourth place and will avoid the play-offs . But they still have so much work to do if they are to win this tournament , never mind the Premier League or Champions League in the future . Christian Eriksen has been unable to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 44 min : FCSB 0 Man Utd 0 Malacia makes a good run down the left and drives a dangerous ball right across the face of goal . That was crying out for an old-fashioned goalscorer like Gerd Muller to belt it into the net from close range . This is not a good game . It is not a great advert for the Europa League . Manchester United should be far too strong for a team of FCSB 's limited resources and they are dominating the game in terms of possession and territory , but they do not have a goal threat to go with it . It once again raises an uncomfortable question -- who on earth decided to spend ? 72m on Rasmus Hojlund ? He is a hard worker , he puts himself about , but he is a centre forward who does not just not score goals , he rarely gets a chance to do so . United produce an intricate passing move on the edge of the area , only for Dalot to overhit his angled ball to the unmarked Eriksen . They are at least dominating possession ; the last time I checked they 'd had 73 per cent . Chance for Mainoo ! United are starting to threaten . Martinez fires a good pass down the inside-left channel to Hojlund , who gets to the byline and screws a deliberate pass to the onrushing Mainoo . He runs onto the ball , 15 yards out , but sidefoots over the bar . It might have taken a bobble. Mainoo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pass from Martinez . He lobs the ball neatly over the covering defender Ngezana but it wo n't sit down and he slices a volley into the hands of Tarnovanu. Man Utd continue to dominate possession , even if most of it is in the middle third for now . Eriksen makes a good run down the right and seems to be fouled near the touchline ; the assistant referee disagrees . Great chance for FCSB ! When the free-kick is eventually taken , Radunovic curls a gorgeous ball to the far post . Popescu , wohb on reflection might have been fractionally offside , stretches to poke a volley across goal and just wide of the far post . United have started with Bruno Fernandes alongside Toby Collyer and with Kobbie Mainoo and Christian Eriksen as the two No10s . That 's a bit of a surprise ; I assumed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : FCSB 0 Man Utd 0 It 's too early to say who United 's next opponents might be , whether that 's in the last 16 or the play-off round .

( Two if they 're in the play-offs , four if they go straight through to the last 16 . ) Wayne Rooney and Roy Keane have told Marcus Rashford he should be " embarrassed " and " ashamed " by his Manchester United exile .

" We can have two weeks without any game in the middle of the week , and that in this moment is really important . The first thing is to win the game . We need to improve our performance . " United will again be without Marcus Rashford , who last played against Viktoria Plzen in mid-December . " Our team should be so much better with Rashford , but he has to change , " says Amorim .

Shortly before , fill-in host Jonathan Lemire accused the president of politicizing a ' national tragedy ' to ' attack his foes ' , paving the way for Kay 's comments .

' But it looks like Donald Trump is feeling extremely powerful and realizing that even if he says something or goes too far , then he 's not going to get much pushback , right ?

Shortly before , fill-in host Jonathan Lemire accused the president of politicizing a ' national tragedy ' to ' attack his foes ' , paving the way for Kay 's comments . The British journalist said she thought Democrats had missed an opportunity to call Trump , 78 , out . ' But it looks like Donald Trump is feeling extremely powerful and realizing that even if he says something or goes too far , then he 's not going to get much pushback , right ? ' Kay pointed out , amid a still-young investigation . Kay did mention former Department of Transportation head Pete Buttigieg , who called Trump 's suggestion that DEI ' could have ' played a part in the disaster ' despicable ' . Joining in on the bipartisan back-and-forth , Kay conceded , ' I mean , yes , Pete Buttigieg came out with a tweet saying that this was despicable . ' But you have not had a complete outcry , uniform , from members of the Democratic Party responding to what President Trump did . ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Friday during discussions about the DC crash The analyst chided progressives for failing to ' push back ' on the president , following his comments about diversity , equity and inclusion ( DEI ) The journalist , who is both British and Swiss , claimed Trump ' effectively blamed black , brown people , women , and people with disabilities ' for the crash , which occurred over the Potomac Wednesday night and remains unexplained . ' I mean , let 's be honest , ' she said of the declaration . ' That 's what diversity is , and that is what the president said - that black , brown people , women and people with disabilities caused this crash . ' I mean , where is the outcry ?

' They 've been tied up in the hearings on Capitol Hill . ' It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wants to have a fight , ' Kay then thought aloud , airing her remarks to both Lemire and fellow host Willie Geist . ' The fact that he signed a memorandum even after that press conference does n't suggest at all that he thinks he went too far in that press conference , quite the contrary , ' she claimed . ' He wants to push it even further . ' And he thinks that there 'll be , even if nothing happens that 's positive , there will be very little pushback from a Congress .

It 's another for the President of the United States of America to throw out idle speculation as bodies are still being recovered and families are still being notified .

A record $15.6 million was spent on international women 's football transfers in 2024 , according to the latest FIFA report , more than doubling the previous mark set in 2023 . And we even had a new world-record fee ( $1.1m ) as USWNT defender Naomi Girma moved to Chelsea . Here are grades for all the major January transfers in the women 's game , with each listed in order of date and then highest fee . All fees are reported unless confirmed with an asterisk . Barcelona : D+ Chelsea : A Walsh might not be quite the force she was when she secured a world-record ? 400,000 move to Barcelona in the summer of 2022 but she still remains one of the best midfielders in world football and is one of a select group of players who can make this Chelsea team better . Sonia Bompastor 's side have had a fruitful January transfer window and the prospect of them sealing a sixth consecutive WSL title now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ problem areas having now been addressed . From a Barcelona perspective , Walsh 's departure is a blow , but it 's hefty fee given she was out of contract in the summer . The 27-year-old has started 15 of the Spanish club 's 22 games so far this term and is a valuable member of the squad , in terms of both the experience and quality she brings . Not only have Barcelona lost a talented player , they have simultaneously strengthened probably their biggest rivals for the Champions League this season . It will certainly be interesting if the two clubs meet in the final . - BL Gotham FC : C Arsenal : B You do n't earn 18 caps for the United States without being a very good player and that is why Nighswonger is a very shrewd addition for Arsenal . At 24 , the left-back already has a wealth of experience at the elite level , having been part of the squad that won a gold medal at the Paris Olympics last summer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ centre-back , Arsenal needed depth at left-back , and Nighswonger 's arrival will allow Republic of Ireland international Katie McCabe to be rotated or pushed higher up the pitch . She 's not a transformational signing , but she should add plenty of quality to the squad . From a Gotham perspective , losing a U.S. international just as she is approaching her prime years is a blow . However , the club are used to navigating a relatively high turnover of players and will likely feel they can find an adequate replacement before the NWSL season starts in March . -- BL Manchester City : C Arsenal : B+ It has been one of the biggest sagas of the January window . Twelve months ago , the idea of Kelly leaving Manchester City to join Arsenal would have been inconceivable . Now , though , it 's reality . From an Arsenal point of view , it 's a smart addition . Kelly has n't been at her best for some time now , but she 's still a player with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thrive . The fact she has only signed on loan makes it a relatively risk-free transfer for Renee Slegers ' side and she offers them another dangerous attacking option . Arsenal : B Manchester City : B It 's been a tough couple of years for Wienroither . After sustaining an ACL injury in May 2023 , the full-back has found it difficult to break back into the Arsenal team , with U.S. international Emily Fox having joined the club in the interim . With that in mind , it always felt as if Wienroither would have to move elsewhere to find the minutes she requires , having featured only three times in all competitions for Arsenal this season . On the face of it , her loan move is a deal which suits all parties . For City , Wienroither provides depth in a crucial area and , if she is able to get back to her best , she will add plenty of quality and experience to the squad . The emergence of academy talent Katie Reid means Arsenal do have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's exit is not too much of problem . -- BL San Diego Wave : B- Chelsea : A+ It has happened ! The first $1m signing in the women 's football is USWNT defender Naomi Girma . Chelsea were willing to pay the largest-ever fee to sign the defender along with the high wages that come with signing such a big name . It is surprising , though , that it is a defender who broke the world record . The past three deals to do so ( Racheal Kundananji , Mayra Ramirez and Keira Walsh ) were either forwards or midfielders , but this just highlights a lack of world-class defenders , meaning top clubs like Lyon and Chelsea were willing to pay the big bucks to sign one . She is arguably the best centre-back around currently . For Chelsea , the signing only strengthens an already stacked squad but comes at a crucial time with the side on course for the Quadruple . With the Wave now under the new leadership of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Diego club were willing to let their premier defender go . After losing star forward Jaedyn Shaw , too , the Wave are in a transition period and as general manager Camille Ashton told ESPN , this is a time for the club to " reshape and to build . " -- EK play 1:12 USWNT teammates react to Naomi Girma 's record Chelsea move Cat Macario and Emily Fox react to their USWNT teammate Naomi Girma 's record transfer to Chelsea following the Blues ' 1-0 win over Arsenal . NC Courage : B- Man City : A Kerolin , the 2023 NWSL MVP , is set to inject flair into City 's forward line at a crucial moment , especially with Lauren Hemp sidelined due to injury . The Brazilian 's arrival comes at an ideal time , as winger Chloe Kelly is expected to leave at the end of her contract in the summer-or potentially on loan during the January window . By securing Kerolin , manager Gareth Taylor is strategically bolstering his options in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ future . Kerolin 's talent has caught the attention of top WSL clubs like Manchester United and Arsenal previously , which was why City were eager to secure her signature . Previously a key player for NC Courage , Kerolin 's absence due to an ACL injury last year was a major blow , but since her return in September , the team has adapted well , softening the impact of her loss . -- EK Man City : B- Angel City : B It seems like a strange move for Manchester City to let defender Kennedy depart while Alex Greenwood is still ruled out with a knee injury , leaving their options for centre-back dangerously thin . They have already signed one central defender , and it would be silly to assume Gareth Taylor would not look at a second option to bolster the defence . Kennedy had spells of time confined to the bench , but without Greenwood available , there seemed no better time for the Australian to gather momentum and playing time than now . It is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the NWSL table last season and conceded the second most goals , 42 , during the 2024 campaign . -- EK Arsenal : C- Roma : A The Gunners signed Kuhl to be the next big thing two years ago , and after being a vital edition during Arsenal 's injury crisis at the end of 2022-23 , hopes were high for the youngster 's future . But after struggling for game-time last season , she was sent on loan for the remainder of the campaign to Everton . Still , despite positive praise and minutes with the Merseyside club , she returned to north London and was confined to the bench , claiming just six minutes from the first sector . It is not a surprise , given the fact that the Gunners have a plethora of midfield options , that Kuhl departed for a chance to play more game time , however , it is a worrying pattern for Arsenal , who have failed to integrate a crop of academy youngsters for several years and failed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kafaji is in a similar position , making only one start this season thus far . It is a great deal for Roma , who could use some extra talent to bolster their battle against Juventus for the title , and could extend their chances of reaching the Champions League again next season . -- EK Waseda University : B Man City : A City are in the midst of an injury crisis and need as many signings as they can to bolster the team and add depth . Manager Gareth Taylor has attracted several young talents , especially from Japan , and harnessed their technical ability to advance his side . Oyama is the fifth Japan international to sign for City in the past three years . Summer signing Aoba Fujino , 20 , has improved the club 's creativity but has not produced as many goals as desired , so 20-year-old midfielder Oyama should add attacking depth . -- EK Leicester City : C Spurs : B+ Leicester are stuck at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the relegation zone and have struggled with injuries this season . But despite their standing , their defensive record is not that bad , only conceding 13 goals this season , so letting go of a goalkeeper with Kop 's potential is interesting , given how heavily Leicester have relied on the Netherlands international to rotate with Janina Leitzig . Spurs were in desperate need of reinforcements after Barbara Votikova departed after one season . Becky Spencer has been a stalwart between the sticks , but she is now 33 years old , meaning the club need to look to bring in their future No. 1 to learn under her guidance . Kop has potential , as she is only 26 , but is already a top class goalkeeper . -- EK Orlando Pride : A In what might be one of the biggest twists of this transfer window , free agent ( her Orlando contract expired at the end of 2024 ) Marta signed a new two-year deal with the NWSL champions , keeping her at the club until 2026 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ helped the Pride to their first title and won a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics with Brazil . So it is a big deal for Orlando to retain the one of the world 's most iconic players . -- EK Chelsea : A Liverpool : A When Bartel signed for Chelsea from Barcelona in the summer , it very much felt like she was a player for the future . At just 20 years old , it was always going to be difficult for the midfielder to break straight into the Chelsea first team and so it has proven . She had made just two appearances for Sonia Bompastor 's side this term , totalling 25 minutes . She 's likely to get ample playing time on Merseyside and should return to Cobham in the summer as a more seasoned player . For Liverpool , this is another shrewd acquisition . Manager Matt Beard has spoken about funds being limited at the club and bringing in Bartel , as well as Bayern Munich loanee Sam Kerr , should add some extra @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is young , she has extensive experience from her time with Barcelona 's B team as well as from youth international football with Spain , winning the U20 Women 's World Cup in 2022 and the U19 Women 's European Championship on two occasions . -- BL Man United : B- Everton : A Ladd 's Manchester United exit has felt inevitable for some time now . The Wales international has made just three WSL appearances so far this term , with United boss Marc Skinner having bolstered his midfield in the summer transfer window . With Euro 2025 coming up in the summer , Ladd 's need for minutes means her move to Everton makes a lot of sense . Her departure leaves United a little bit light in the middle of the park , which could come back to haunt them as they bid to secure Champions League qualification . But , for Everton , Ladd 's arrival is a continuation of some shrewd January business , with the 31-year-old bringing plenty of quality and experience to Walton @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bayern Munich : B Liverpool : A+ Liverpool manager Matt Beard tried to sign Kerr two years ago , but has finally landed the Scotland international . Kerr , 25 , not to be mistaken for namesake Australia international and Chelsea forward Sam Kerr , signed for Bayern in 2023 but has struggled for game time , only making two starts so far . She has found it tough to break into Alexander Straus ' star-studded lineup , so a loan is the right option for both club and player . However , Bayern fans will be concerned that any further injuries could leave options a little light . For Liverpool , Beard admitted that they are probably getting a more advanced player following her 18-month stint with the German champions , making it a perfect signing at the right time for the Merseyside team . Beard admitted before the winter break that he had a limited budget in this window , but if this loan spell is successful they may look to make a permanent offer . -- EK @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an ACL injury early in her Manchester United career , the Scotland international talent is set to make the most of a fresh opportunity to play . While Watson impressed in a brief appearance for United in the League Cup , she has struggled to secure a regular spot in the starting XI following her recovery . With Marc Skinner 's lack of rotation , a loan move makes sense for the club . In addition to Watson 's departure , United have also loaned out fellow young talent Jess Simpson to Bristol City , ensuring both players have the opportunity to gain valuable playing time and continue their development . Everton have long been adept at leveraging the loan system to strengthen their squad , and this move is no exception . Despite the backing of the Friedkin Group , Everton 's budget still lags behind that of the top clubs , but the loan market allows them to maximise their resources and reinforce a team that have struggled with injuries . -- EK Barcelona : A Everton : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a club like Everton , who know how to get the best out of budding young talents , but it is mutually beneficial for her parent club , Barcelona . Following comments from players like Aitana Bonmati -- explaining how Liga F needs to do more to raise the stakes and competitiveness of the league -- it is no surprise that Barcelona are starting to send handfuls of their up-and-coming youngsters to England and other top leagues to gain experience . Fernandez , 20 , is following the path to gain vital playing time and experience , making it a perfect signing for both clubs , especially Barcelona , as she would not have had the same opportunities in the B side . -- EK Rosengard : B- Spurs : A Rosengard are losing plenty of talent in this window , already saying goodbye to two players who helped steer them to the Swedish league . This happened to Hammarby in the summer and is a plot fall of the Damallsvenskan acting as a feeder for more established clubs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the youngster who has started to become integrated into Denmark 's national team and fills a gap in Spurs ' midfield . The club have struggled to rejig the side following Grace Clinton 's departure back to Man United and the losses of Maite Oroz and Kit Graham . While the former is expected to return for the second half of the season , Holdt will be a key addition as coach Robert Vilahamn looks to solidify their mid-table stance . -- EK Rosengard : C Man City : A- Man City were in engulfed in an injury crisis in the latter part of last year , losing Risa Shimizu , Lauren Hemp , Khadija " Bunny " Shaw , Naomi Layzel , Vivianne Miedema and Alex Greenwood . The side desperately need reinforcements , especially in defence with Greenwood set to be sidelined for several months . Knaak is experienced in Germany and Sweden , so will bring a level of composure , but she is uncapped for the senior national team . Despite this , she helped to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what it takes to win .

City need to rebuild if they want to keep pressure on Chelsea at the top of the table and Knaak will prove key in bolstering the back line . -- EK Nantes : B Everton : A Everton 's budget has improved significantly after the Friedkin Group takeover , allowing them to sign Gago . The Toffees have struggled with injuries since last season , including ACL 's to Aurora Galli and Inma Gabrarro . Sitting 12th in the table , they need points to avoid relegation and are especially lacking in goals , with the third-lowest tally in the league .

Wriothesley is a 5-Star Cryo character who was added to Genshin Impact during version 4.1 . While Wriothesley is featured as the boosted 5-Star character on his Tempestuous Destiny Banner in version 5.4 , he will eventually return to Genshin Impact at some point in the future when the Banner schedule cycles back to him . If you want to prepare him , we 've listed Wriothesley 's Ascension materials and Talent materials so you can level him up to his full potential right away . To understand how you might play him , we 've also detailed what we know about Wriothesley 's kit and Constellations .

Wriothesley can gain a Gracious Rebuke this way once every five seconds ) . Passive two : There Shall Be a Reckoning for Sin ( If Wriothesley is in the Chilling Penalty state conferred by Icefang Rush and his current health increases or decreases , Chilling Penalty will gain one stack of Prosecution Edict , for a maximum of five stacks . Each stack of Prosecution Edict increases Wriothesley 's attack by 6% ) . When tapping the normal attack button Wriothesley produces Repelling Fists that perform up to five rapid hits of Cryo damage . Holding down the attack button charges Wriothesley 's attack instead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fist , dealing AoE Cryo damage . Once Wriothesley 's first passive talent is unlocked , using a charged attack when his health is less than 60% changes it into a Rebuke : Vaulting Fist charged attack . See the list above for more information on this passive talent . Image credit : HoYoverse Wriothesley sprints forward a short distance , entering the Chilling Penalty state which increases Wriothesley 's interruption resistance . Additionally , when his health is above 50% , Chilling Penalty increases the damage of his Normal Attack : Forceful Fists . When he hits an opponent in this enhanced Forceful Fists state , Wriothesley 's HP is consumed every 0.1 seconds . Chilling Penalty is removed when Wriothesley is off the field . Wriothesley strikes out with an icy straight , then uses Icicle Impact to cause multiple instances of AoE Cryo damage in a frontal area .

For Wriothesley , you 'll need to farm a lot of Gear and Order materials to fully upgrade his capabilities . As Wriothesley has three Talents , you will have to spend three times the Talent materials listed below to fully upgrade all of his abilities , which we 've also detailed below the table . Here 's what Wriothesley Talent materials you need to improve one of his abilities : Just like Talents , you need to use Wriothesley Ascension materials to upgrade his health , attack , defence , and critical hit effectiveness . You 'll need to farm a lot of Subdetection Unit and Gear materials for Wriothesley to fully upgrade his capabilities . Unlike Talent materials , you only need to spend the below Ascension materials once to fully raise Wriothesley to his highest character level . There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . You can spend this Fate on the standard and beginner Banners to Wish for characters and weapons . Here 's what Wriothesley Ascension materials and Mora you need to upgrade him for each Ascension level : By getting duplicates of Wriothesley from wishing on his Banner , you will receive his Stella Fortuna . This material allows you to unlock Constellation levels , with each upgrade either improving an existing Talent or Passive ability . Image credit : HoYoverse Here are all of Wriothesley 's Constellations in Genshin Impact : Terror for the Evildoers ( C1 ) : The Gracious Rebuke from Wriothesley 's first passive is instead activated when he has less than 60% HP or while he is in the Chilling Penalty state caused by his Elemental Skill . When the fifth attack of Wriothesley 's normal attack chain hits , it also creates a Gracious Rebuke , with one Gracious Rebuke effect obtainable every 2.5 seconds .

Punishment for the Frauds ( C3 ) : Increases the Level of Wriothesley 's normal attack by three , with a maximum upgrade level of 15 . Redemption for the Suffering ( C4 ) : The health restored to Wriothesley through Rebuke : Vaulting Fist is increased to 50% of his maximum HP . Additionally , when Wriothesley is healed , if the amount of healing overflows , his attack speed is increased by 20% for four seconds if he is on the field . If Wriothesley is off-field instead , all party members ' attack speed is increased by 10% for six seconds . These two effects ca n't stack . Mercy for the Wronged ( C5 ) : Increases the Level of Wriothesley 's Elemental Burst by three , with a maximum @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( C6 ) : The Crit Rate of Rebuke : Vaulting Fist is increased by 10% , and its Crit Damage is also increased by 80% . When released , it also unleashes an icicle that deals 100% of Rebuke : Vaulting Fist 's base damage . This damage is considered charged attack damage . Good luck levelling up Wriothesley in Genshin Impact ! Jessica Orr : Jessica is a guides writer from Northern Ireland who likes screaming at her TV .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'pulling out of training' involves an intransitive verb 'pulling' with no NP object, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the action of withdrawing from an activity, which is unrelated to the transitive out of -ing construction.

Danny McGuire has explained the absence of two Castleford Tigers players ahead of Saturday 's pre-season clash against Hull FC . The Fords take on the Black and Whites in Joe Westerman 's testimonial match before competitive action starts for both sides in the Challenge Cup next week . Meanwhile , Castleford , who have named a smaller squad for the runout at Wheldon Road , have two fresh blows to contend with , with Fijian winger Jason Qareqare pulling out of training earlier this week with a hamstring issue . He will miss the clash , as will Josh Hodson , who is ill . Speaking ahead of the game , McGuire , who is expecting a response from his side after last week 's 32-8 defeat at Wakefield Trinity , said : " We went with a bigger squad against Wakefield , but we are trying to keep it more real this week . We are missing Jason Qareqare ; he has picked up an injury , and Josh Hodson is ill and is n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ still to be determined ; he pulled out of training the other day . It was some form of hamstring issue and will probably be out for a few weeks . " Castleford will trial a new half-back combination against Hull , with one-time FC target and Papua New Guinea international Judah Rimbu set to play alongside Daejarn Asi in the halves . McGuire played Westerman alongside Asi last week , with Roman Milnes currently sidelined to injury . The head coach continued : " Rowan was going really well in training , and his combination with DJ was just getting going . Judah has experience in the halves ; we gave Westy a shot last week , but it probably did n't work . " We have got some other little plans that we may put into action tomorrow .

UK and EU policymakers are rolling out legislation for a hydrogen market - but the energy carrier is still surrounded by a great deal of uncertainty . There is something deeply troubling in that society has established a social system where public funds will be channeled to oil and gas companies . Hydrogen was , yet again , at the front and centre of attention at COP in Azerbaijan with the signing of the Hydrogen Declaration . This adds to broad proclamations of ambition to grow the hydrogen economy without any specifics that address the unwillingness of actors to take on risks related to the energy carrier . As tends to be the case with capitalism , investors are waiting for risks to be mutualised -- the emphasis being on waiting . Ambitions lowered The EU Hydrogen Week in Brussels took place in parallel to COP29 and the buzz within Brussels Expo may suggest that the global community is on the cusp of hydrogen 's large-scale uptake . But discussions with experts at booths and investment figures @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reached final investment decisions ( FID ) status globally and only 11 per cent of the cash necessary to develop projects promised through 2030 has been committed . The European Court of Auditors simply called for a hydrogen " reality check " in the EU . The EU-27 has touted its goal to produce ten million tonnes of hydrogen and import another ten by 2030 . However , these figures were published as a part of REPowerEU and therefore not legally binding . For these , one must look to the Revised Renewable Energy Directive ( RED III ) , which requires member states ' industries to meet 42 per cent of their energy demand via renewable fuels of non-biological origin ( RFNBOs ) by 2030 and 60 per cent by 2035 . This is much less than REPowerEU ambitions , maybe a quarter but it could be as low as under a tenth of initial ambitions . Short of commitments RFNBOs are gaseous and liquid synthetic sources of energy that reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of their fossil fuel counterparts by at least 70 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ meet requisite demand . The UK no longer has to meet such EU targets , but it has also committed to the technology by promising to construct 10 GW of production capacity by 2030 , equally split between renewable and fossil fuel based variants . There is something deeply troubling in that society has established a social system where public funds will be channeled to oil and gas companies . Policy-makers in both the EU and the UK have been rolling out legislation to facilitate the creation of a hydrogen market , but the matter is still surrounded by a great deal of uncertainty around implementation . BCG findings suggest that only three per cent of EU industrial consumers surveyed would commit to off-take contracts exceeding five years , as it remains unclear whether Member States will follow through with what they frequently frame as costly climate action and risk decreasing competitiveness . Some production of low carbon and renewable hydrogen is necessary to decarbonise hydrogen feedstock and some forms of energy demand , but a gap sustains between the price for which producers can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Albeit , these are dubious estimates as technological and economic risks related to the deployment of both forms of hydrogen linger . The energy intensity , efficacy , and reproducibility undermine confidence in CCS , while providing green electricity for renewable hydrogen remains a challenge . EU policy-makers introduced the Hydrogen Bank to channel public money and mobilise private capital to fill the gap between the cost of producing low carbon and renewable hydrogen and the price buyers are willing to pay . Combined with sectoral quotas set by member states as mandated by RED III provides lift for the technology , but experts tend to agree that this is still far from enough . The UK Government launched a similar funding scheme with the Hydrogen Production Business Model . The EU 's and the UK 's approaches offer support for the sector , but their scale does not correspond to targets and resources allocated by key geoeconomic competitors , such as the USA or China . The EU and European governments channeled tremendous resources towards national champions , such as the UK 's ITM @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these face headwinds as global electrolyser manufacturing capacity is forecasted to expand to twice as much as demand by 2030 . Accordingly , there is sense of gloom within the sector , as executives point fingers to buyers , policy-makers , and fierce competition . The broader issue is that slower action from ( potential ) hydrogen consumers and green hydrogen producers paves the way for the extension of an emitting fossil fuel-based energy system . Oil and gas companies were eager to propose hydrogen as solution that rendered them relevant in the energy transition and a net zero energy system , but the shift in priorities to energy security , insufficient public support , and the lack of long-term offtake agreements has curtailed their ambitions . Most prominently , Norwegian Equinor recently backed out of developing and providing low carbon fossil hydrogen to Germany as a part of a multi-billion euro project . Shell took on a similar decision as well . Substituted Maintaining a reliance on fossil gas even if this is paired with CCS is not a desirable option in my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a lack of investment in this field paves the way for a continued reliance on unabated fossil gas . Oil and gas companies have limited incentives to take on hydrogen-related risks as selling fossil gas to Europeans has never been so lucrative and welcomed by politicians following Europe 's pivot from Russian imports . Executives continue to engage in dialogue with policy-makers and potential hydrogen buyers , with some projects moving forward ( e.g. Humber in the UK ) , but the overall pace of the sector 's growth is far from what incumbents and politicians foresaw a few years ago . The sweeping ambition and enthusiasm that oil and gas companies conveyed towards hydrogen has been substituted with their waiting for the state to step in and financially support their energy transition . Waiting There is something deeply troubling in that society established and maintains a social system where public funds will be channeled to oil and gas companies -- they will -- to develop a technology that continues their wealth extraction despite their being the prime enablers of global heating . Discourse @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been abundant , but as the energy carrier 's market needs to be established no set of actors seem to be willing to take on the risks necessary to scale the technology in accordance to preset goals . Buyers await subsidies and regulatory stability , producers are waiting on buyers to make long-term commitments and the state to provide ample funding for project development , while policy-makers point to the lack of funds in support of the cause . Hydrogen may be a necessary component of a decarbonised energy system , but as its loudest advocates are unwilling to risk investing in respective technologies , one must raise the question to what extent it will be necessary and whether supply should be anything but green .

The last train to Greenock from Glasgow Central . ( Image : Robert Perry ) It 's around 11pm on Saturday night and Glasgow 's Central Station is starting to shimmy . Trains have been arriving from your favourite west central Scotland enclaves and along the Ayrshire coast : Motherwell , Bellshill , Greenock , Paisley and the local inner city routes south of the river . A short walk -- perhaps a taxi -- will bear their young passengers onwards to their chosen bacchanals . It 's about now though , that I may have cause to regret my choice of footwear : a rather audacious pair of cherry red Doc Marten boots gifted to me by my daughter in one of her forlorn attempts to make me seem " happnin " as she puts it . Three young blokes , sparkly with the rocket juice ( but not yet howling ) are approaching @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dudes . There are informal Glasgow protocols governing encounters such as this which have travelled across generations . They 're meant to take the heat out of anything that may escalate to edgy : avoid eye contact ; look meaningfully ahead and do not under any circumstances retreat lest it impart fear when no threat is really intended . " Haw , check out the big man 's galoshes , " says the lead Buckieneer , dressed head to foot in shiny silver threads that bear the splashed imprint here and there of a night well-lived . His two chums emit a cheer and silver boy seems set upon encroaching just a tad too close to my face for comfort . There 's a sweet pungent aroma coming off him comprising the base elements of a Glasgow Saturday night : a wee clip of dope , Jack Daniels and a lively eau de toilette with a top note of toffee apple . At the point where I 'm about to choose valour over discretion and enquire as to the nature of his problem he smiles broadly and extends @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yin . You 'll get a lumber tonight no bother . " In an hour 's time I 'll board the last train to depart from Central , the one that takes you to Greenock . In west of Scotland folklore this 45-minute journey is said to possess all the strands that form the DNA of authentic working-class existence . All life is visible here . Once , many years ago , en-route to a party in Paisley I fell into a Bacardi-induced slumber and shaken awake by a kindly train guard at Greenock . I should have got off at Paisley ( but not in the local biblical sense , you understand ) . For me , the party was over before it had begun . First though , I spend an hour or so taking the pulse of the streets that surround Central Station . In this way you might divine what treats may lie in store on the midnight train to Greenock . The streets around the city are calm around 11pm , but there are early signs of delinquency . A full can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crashes onto Gordon Street , just missing the taxi turning right onto Renfield Street . The thrower can count himself fortunate . In my experience , if it had connected the driver would have given chase and apprehended the culprit with extreme prejudice . There are groups of young women all pink and giggly in their Stetson hats . Some , barely out of their teens , are sporting what look like bikini tops . Their night in the city is just beginning and you find yourself instinctively reciting a few Hail Marys for their safe passage home in the small hours . It 's been a long time since I 've visited these streets at this time on a Saturday night , but some old practices remain unchanged . It 's oddly reassuring to see a queue building at the Blue Lagoon and a half rammy has kicked off on Hope Street , the recorded highlights of which will be available on social media a few hours hence . Yet , there 's so much love and affection on these streets too . There 's mildly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by , but these ladies bat them back with interest . There are around a dozen police officers strolling through the station in pairs , but they 're understated and relaxed . The last train to Greenock from Glasgow Central . ( Image : Robert Perry ) There are still smoochy farewells under the clock , some of them telling of a happy end to a successful first date : shy smiles and a warm glow . Single blokes can be seen walking rather too studiously : one-two-three then oops a daisy as an invisible bannister gives way . There are eight carriages on the Greenock train , more than enough for all the revellers and one potential source of tension thus removed . The pink Stetson ladies are all here and so is my new friend on the silver suit . It 's packed , but not uncomfortably so . And soon you begin to pick up some of the patter . There 's a well-dressed older man two seats up whose eyes bear the tell-tale signs of someone eager to unburden himself in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it meaningfully to avoid his gaze . The quiet chap opposite is too slow to react and finds himself drawn into the other 's life drama in three acts . " Whit 's your name big man ? " " I 'm Robert . " " I 'm Tam . " " Robert , I 'll tell you whit I 'll dae . I 've got a pub . Next time you 're in the town , phone ahead and tell them I sent you . You 'll get a free drink on me . " Within a few minutes , he 's persuaded his new pal to meet up for a drink and they begin exchanging tasting notes of taverns across the city . Soon though , the questions are becoming up close and personal . What do you do ? Where do you live ? Do you have a mortgage ? Do you have kids ? What age are they ? They 're a nightmare , are n't they ? Ryan and Kelly on the last train from Glasgow Central ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conversations end badly , but this one drifts away sleepily and benignly . His new pal knows he 's drawn the carriage 's short straw but he fences the questions smoothly and expertly . The two young women sitting beside me are following this wee adventure too . We begin to swap our reviews of the show unfolding up the aisle like live participants in Gogglebox . Turns out they 're both off-duty police officers back from a family night out . Both of them have been sitting quietly but have missed absolutely nothing going on around them . They 're heading back to Paisley and take this train often . " It 's a lively journey , " says one , " but you rarely see any trouble . " " What 's with all the cowboy hats , " I ask them . And it seems in my long absence from the city centre that there are wild-west themes in some of the pubs . And a bucking bronco somewhere in the Merchant City . The girls wo n't be reaching Paisley any time soon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ train makes the first of three long stops that will double the journey time . " I 'd like to apologise for the delay to this service , " says the driver . " As soon as I find out what 's going on I 'll let you know . " And then : " There 's a signal failure up ahead . " Time for pause on the last train from Glasgow Central to Greenock ( Image : Robert Perry ) A cheer goes up when we start to roll again . But we 've barely reached Hillington when there 's an even longer stop for " a medical emergency on the train in front " . That gets changed to a medical emergency on one of our carriages . There are a few groans but nothing else . This is a good-humoured crowd and nothing will wreck their night out . There 's empathy and softness on this train . There are goths , bearded gen-zedders and lairy 40-something blokes resentful of the hand life 's dealt them telling gossip about younger , smarter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fur coat that you only see worn by Oleg and Ivan in films about the Russian mafia . It would go a treat with my red docs . Further up the carriage , Ryan and Kelly from Fort Matilda in Greenock are adamant nothing will ruin their night . They got engaged last August " at the Brooklyn Bridge in New York , " says Kelly . Her man obviously spared no expense with the ring . He plays football for Greenock amateurs and she 's with the NHS . " You see everything on this train , " says Kelly , " but the chat can be great too and there 's usually a decent amateur comedian . " I know it can seem a wee bit rough , but it 's not really . " In 20 minutes we 've discussed plastic pitches , mental health care , Donald Trump and why Inverclyde is a very vibrant and under-rated area . It has long been a requirement of a night out in Glasgow that someone must take responsibility for singing a Frank Sinatra or a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I proceed through the other carriages to see if I can locate tonight 's designated crooner .

In west of Scotland folklore this 45-minute journey is said to possess all the strands that form the DNA of authentic working-class existence . All life is visible here . Once , many years ago , en-route to a party in Paisley I fell into a Bacardi-induced slumber and shaken awake by a kindly train guard at Greenock . I should have got off at Paisley ( but not in the local biblical sense , you understand ) . For me , the party was over before it had begun . First though , I spend an hour or so taking the pulse of the streets that surround Central Station . In this way you might divine what treats may lie in store on the midnight train to Greenock . The streets around the city are calm around 11pm , but there are early signs of delinquency . A full can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crashes onto Gordon Street , just missing the taxi turning right onto Renfield Street . The thrower can count himself fortunate . In my experience , if it had connected the driver would have given chase and apprehended the culprit with extreme prejudice . There are groups of young women all pink and giggly in their Stetson hats . Some , barely out of their teens , are sporting what look like bikini tops . Their night in the city is just beginning and you find yourself instinctively reciting a few Hail Marys for their safe passage home in the small hours . It 's been a long time since I 've visited these streets at this time on a Saturday night , but some old practices remain unchanged . It 's oddly reassuring to see a queue building at the Blue Lagoon and a half rammy has kicked off on Hope Street , the recorded highlights of which will be available on social media a few hours hence . Yet , there 's so much love and affection on these streets too . There 's mildly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by , but these ladies bat them back with interest . There are around a dozen police officers strolling through the station in pairs , but they 're understated and relaxed . The last train to Greenock from Glasgow Central . ( Image : Robert Perry ) There are still smoochy farewells under the clock , some of them telling of a happy end to a successful first date : shy smiles and a warm glow . Single blokes can be seen walking rather too studiously : one-two-three then oops a daisy as an invisible bannister gives way . There are eight carriages on the Greenock train , more than enough for all the revellers and one potential source of tension thus removed . The pink Stetson ladies are all here and so is my new friend on the silver suit . It 's packed , but not uncomfortably so . And soon you begin to pick up some of the patter . There 's a well-dressed older man two seats up whose eyes bear the tell-tale signs of someone eager to unburden himself in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it meaningfully to avoid his gaze . The quiet chap opposite is too slow to react and finds himself drawn into the other 's life drama in three acts . " Whit 's your name big man ? " " I 'm Robert . " " I 'm Tam . " " Robert , I 'll tell you whit I 'll dae . I 've got a pub . Next time you 're in the town , phone ahead and tell them I sent you . You 'll get a free drink on me . " Within a few minutes , he 's persuaded his new pal to meet up for a drink and they begin exchanging tasting notes of taverns across the city . Soon though , the questions are becoming up close and personal . What do you do ? Where do you live ? Do you have a mortgage ? Do you have kids ? What age are they ? They 're a nightmare , are n't they ? Ryan and Kelly on the last train from Glasgow Central ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conversations end badly , but this one drifts away sleepily and benignly . His new pal knows he 's drawn the carriage 's short straw but he fences the questions smoothly and expertly . The two young women sitting beside me are following this wee adventure too . We begin to swap our reviews of the show unfolding up the aisle like live participants in Gogglebox . Turns out they 're both off-duty police officers back from a family night out . Both of them have been sitting quietly but have missed absolutely nothing going on around them . They 're heading back to Paisley and take this train often . " It 's a lively journey , " says one , " but you rarely see any trouble . " " What 's with all the cowboy hats , " I ask them . And it seems in my long absence from the city centre that there are wild-west themes in some of the pubs . And a bucking bronco somewhere in the Merchant City . The girls wo n't be reaching Paisley any time soon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ train makes the first of three long stops that will double the journey time . " I 'd like to apologise for the delay to this service , " says the driver . " As soon as I find out what 's going on I 'll let you know . " And then : " There 's a signal failure up ahead . " Time for pause on the last train from Glasgow Central to Greenock ( Image : Robert Perry ) A cheer goes up when we start to roll again . But we 've barely reached Hillington when there 's an even longer stop for " a medical emergency on the train in front " . That gets changed to a medical emergency on one of our carriages . There are a few groans but nothing else . This is a good-humoured crowd and nothing will wreck their night out . There 's empathy and softness on this train . There are goths , bearded gen-zedders and lairy 40-something blokes resentful of the hand life 's dealt them telling gossip about younger , smarter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fur coat that you only see worn by Oleg and Ivan in films about the Russian mafia . It would go a treat with my red docs . Further up the carriage , Ryan and Kelly from Fort Matilda in Greenock are adamant nothing will ruin their night . They got engaged last August " at the Brooklyn Bridge in New York , " says Kelly . Her man obviously spared no expense with the ring . He plays football for Greenock amateurs and she 's with the NHS . " You see everything on this train , " says Kelly , " but the chat can be great too and there 's usually a decent amateur comedian . " I know it can seem a wee bit rough , but it 's not really . " In 20 minutes we 've discussed plastic pitches , mental health care , Donald Trump and why Inverclyde is a very vibrant and under-rated area . It has long been a requirement of a night out in Glasgow that someone must take responsibility for singing a Frank Sinatra or a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I proceed through the other carriages to see if I can locate tonight 's designated crooner . I discover him under a large velvet hat singing quietly to himself . " Chicago , Chicago , it 's wunnerful town-ah ...

From Grassington to Skipton , using the bus - Linton Falls ( Image : Johathan Smith ) Skipton is known as the ' Gateway to the Dales ' , Grassington one of its most popular and attractive villages . Use the excellent bus service ( no 72 ) between them to create a one-way walk over the moors and through some rarely visited villages . I always take the bus ( or train ) at the start of any one-way walk . It takes the stress out of making a connection ! Thorpe ( Image : Johathan Smith ) The 72 runs every hour or so from Skipton ( bus or train station ) to Grassington and takes roughly half an hour .

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('tried to talk her son out of travelling'). It involves an animate NP subject ('Kerrie-Anne') performing the action denoted by the V1 predicate 'talk' and an NP object ('her son') functioning as a causee. The interpretation is prevention ('prevent her son from travelling to the war zone'), which aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'squeeze the odd trillion out of spending' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to describe a general action of extracting money from spending without the specific grammatical and semantic properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

President Trump is pressing for an extension of his 2017 tax cut , and for removing taxes on tips , overtime pay and pensions . Tax rates are to be lowered from 21 to 15 per cent on corporations that build facilities in America . Princeton University economist Alan Blinder , a former vice-chairman of the Federal Reserve and no Donald Trump fan , reckons that the president 's " income tax cuts should spur slightly faster growth , perhaps roughly offsetting the drag from higher tariffs " . Add that " tariffs do not have a significant or persistent effect on inflation , " as Fed governor Christopher Waller puts it . As Americans who have incorporated Aussie-isms into the language might put it , " no worries " . Now , worry . We are dealing with a president with a long history in the private sector of near-ruinous excessive borrowing . During his first stay in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ national debt . Old IOUs paying 2 per cent interest are now coming due and being replaced by money borrowed at double that rate . Treasury secretary Scott Bessent would like to reduce the deficit , now running at close to 7 per cent of GDP , to 3 per cent , but he is unlikely to be able to hit that target and may even prove unable to prevent the deficit from increasing , even relative to gross domestic product ( GDP ) , its growth slowed by none other than the bond market vigilantes . This group , which Trump has no ability to bully , have saddled up and loaded their saddle bags with government IOUs . The vigilantes are prepared to sell and sell if deficits persist , driving down the prices of these government bonds , and raising interest rates not only on government borrowings but on mortgages , already double pre-pandemic levels , credit cards and business loans . The Federal Reserve Board 's monetary policy committee knows we are in for a period of loose fiscal policy , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to leave its benchmark interest rate unchanged , rather than continue cutting rates . Trump , who had earlier demanded that interest rates " drop immediately " , posted on Truth Social : " If the Fed had spent less time on DEI , on gender ideology , ' green ' energy and fake climate change , Inflation would never have been a problem . Instead , we suffered the worst Inflation in the History of our Country ! " Fed chairman Jerome Powell says he has not spoken with the president . Informed guesses on the contours of the American economy of the future are now possible , although , given Trump 's volatility , subject always to the warning label " at the time of this writing " . When Trump departs the scene in four years , quietly we hope , deficits will be higher than when he returned to the Oval Office . So will interest rates . So will the inflation rate . Bessent will find his plan to reduce deficits to 3 per cent more a quixotic impossible dream than an attainable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leave rates unchanged or raise them , as it struggles to reach its goal of holding the inflation rate to 2 per cent . Meanwhile , deficits will roll on , adding an estimated $20 trillion ( ? 16 trillion ) to the $36.4 trillion national debt by the time vice-president JD Vance , who favours driving down the value of the dollar -- its inflationary effect notwithstanding -- serves out what will probably prove to be his only term . It is , of course , possible that Elon Musk will squeeze the odd trillion out of spending by persuading Congress to loosen the stranglehold of regulations besetting entrepreneurs , eager to dip into investors ' cash hoards now that Trump has released their animal spirits . But others have broken their picks on the US debt mountain . And Musk might have passed the zenith of his influence . Trump 's chief of staff denied him office space in the White House West Wing , and his Department of Government Efficiency ( Doge ) has been incorporated into the United States Digital Service @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ There is a better chance that the economy 's productivity -- its output of goods and services per unit of labour and capital input -- will accelerate . That would lower the cost of producing a majority of goods and services . But even if AI develops to justify the trillions being hurled at it , there are limits . The late economist William Baumol , an expert on analysing productivity , once wrote that you can not increase the efficiency of a quartet by firing one musician . Perhaps the best news is that there is time for America 's politicians to begin a serious assault on the deficit . Goldman Sachs 's Investment Strategy Group , drawing on a wide range of data and models , concluded : " The level of debt to GDP is still comfortably below estimates of the level at which it would become truly unsustainable . " That would be the 166 to 188 per cent of GDP that it might reach in 2050 , compared to the current level of about 123 per cent . It is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ computation , as most lack interest in any emergency that might not emerge until after their time in power . |

Plans for the site on Southampton Road ( Image : ACLA Limited ) Councillor Parker said : " This site has been a site of concern for me for many years ... I 'm relieved to see the tyres gone . In an ideal world though , were it not for the fact of planning gain by getting rid of the tyres , we would not want to see a development , an isolated development , in the countryside - where it is . " Having said that , it is what it is and it has outline permission so , the question really is , is the detail something that 's appropriate ? " I must admit I am not at all happy with the design of the properties , I think they are out of keeping with the isolated rural area . " The councillor continued : " My only concern , really , is that I do not like the designs . Whether that 's strong enough reason to object to this planning application , I 'm not sure . " Cllr @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't see a problem with the design for it , quite frankly . In fact , I think they 've been pretty well thought-out , quite frankly . " As well as design queries , there were questions regarding whether affordable homes would be included in the development . Mr Francis said this was unlikely due to the cost of removing the tyres and build cost . He said : " We would need a huge uplift in the property market or a huge downlift in cost of building for that to happen . " There were also questions about site access , with Mountbatten School close by and there being a lack of footpaths - potentially endangering children walking there . Cllr Neil Gwynne said : " I think , like many members here if we were in a position to put conditions on access and pathways I 'm sure we would , or at least request them , but we 're not . " My comment was really about the affordable housing . As a term , it lacks some connection with reality @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that this development has eight two-bedroom properties and eighteen three-bedroom properties and an increasing number of homes around Romsey are dominated by four or five-bedroom so , they might not be affordable , but at least they are smaller .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'out of nothing' is a prepositional phrase modifying 'score a goal', and there is no NP object functioning as a causee.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a situation where an opportunity is created 'out of nothing', which is a different construction altogether.

Manchester United fell to their 11th Premier League defeat of the campaign this afternoon , losing 2-0 to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford earlier this afternoon . A double from Jean-Phillippe Mateta in the second half secured all three points for the visitors , condemning Ruben Amorim to a second consecutive Premier League defeat on home soil . The Red Devils currently sit in 13th position , just 12 points clear of the drop zone , with any hopes of European football next season all but over with just 14 games remaining . It leaves Amorim with some serious work to do , with the role undoubtedly a harder job than he would 've first envisaged upon taking over at the end of November . With the transfer window closing tomorrow night , he only has just over 24 hours to make any more changes to the squad , with various players potentially opening themselves up to a move before the deadline . Kobbie Mainoo was always going to face a tricky task this afternoon , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Amorim opting for the academy graduate in a false nine role over the likes of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee . Unsurprisingly , the 19-year-old struggled for large parts , losing nine of the 12 duels he entered and failing to complete any of his four attempted dribbles during the defeat . He also could only muster 31 touches before being replaced with 20 minutes to go , with the manager 's chosen system not having the desired impact he would 've wanted . Noussair Mazraoui once again featured in a right wing-back role after his disappointing showing against Fulham last weekend , with it becoming clearer week after week that he 's more suited to a role in the back three . The Moroccan failed to win any tackles during Sunday 's encounter , plus only coming out in 50% of duels - leaving the field at the same time as Mainoo - a signal as to how little impact he had on proceedings . However , despite the respective displays of the aforementioned duo , another player was just as poor throughout the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to cash in on the dud on deadline day . Garnacho managed to register three shots but was unable to direct any on target , whilst also missing one big chance and completing just 25% of dribbles - highlighting his lack of impact within attacking areas . He also lost possession 15 times , losing 86% of the seven duels he entered and completing just one chance , looking lacklustre and unlikely to create an opportunity out of nothing . As a result , the youngster was handed a measly 5/10 match rating by journalist Dom Smith , further showcasing how much of a frustrating afternoon it was for the Red Devils at Old Trafford . After such a showing , Amorim must cash in on the recent interest in his services , with ? 70m a phenomenal price tag for a player who has n't found the back of the net in nearly three months . Whilst it would leave them a short period to find themselves a replacement , if that sort of money were to be presented to them on deadline day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ potentially finding a player more suited to his 3-4-2-1 system . Most of the MU players played badly with slow passing and ball handling too long specially at the back three of Maguire , Matiness and Yoro . Ball passing around them only with the other players waiting for the ball . Cameo of Ramus and Zirkzee do nothing much better to stick with the first XI . Really need a striker . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject (implied 'someone') + V1 ('talked') + NP object ('Xavi') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('resigning'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where someone prevented Xavi from resigning by means of talking. The NP object 'Xavi' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'resigning'. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence 'The Prime Minister's spokesman has made it clear that the UK will not attempt to talk Donald Trump out of imposing tough tariffs on EU countries' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'talk' is used in the V1 slot, which falls under the category of means to achieve a goal by verbal persuasion. The NP subject 'the UK' is an animate agent, and the NP object 'Donald Trump' is a causee who participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'imposing tough tariffs on EU countries'. The interpretation is prevention, as the UK is attempting to prevent Donald Trump from imposing tariffs. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

A top EU leader has demanded that Britain get " as close as possible " to Brussels as part of Sir Keir Starmer 's " reset " . The Prime Minister is the first UK leader to attend an EU dinner since Brexit as he attempts a major renegotiation with the bloc . Arriving in Belgium for the meeting this morning , Polish premier and former head of the European Council Donald Tusk set out his key expectation from Sir Keir . He told the waiting media : " I am really keen that , regardless of Brexit and its consequences , to have the UK as close as possible to the EU when it comes to security issues , defence industry , and to find ways to eliminate or reduce barriers in trade between the UK and Europe .

" It 's really important that we work with both and we do n't see it as an either-or , " the Prime Minister said . " It is in the best interests of the UK , but also the best interest I think in terms of global security and defence , that we continue to work both with the US and with Europe on these vital issues .

The sentence contains the phrase 'talk Donald Trump out of imposing tough tariffs on EU countries', which fits the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. The verb 'talk' is used in the sense of verbal persuasion (category d), and the NP object 'Donald Trump' is a causee who is being persuaded not to perform the action described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'imposing tough tariffs on EU countries'. This induces a prevention interpretation, which is characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

" " Today is the moment to get as close as possible again . " A senior French Diplomat has also said Sir Keir 's attendance is proof that Brexit has n't worked . The meeting comes as Donald Trump begins the opening @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Canada and Mexico and threats of tariffs on the EU . Sir Keir Starmer has said the UK will " stay resolute " in its commitment to working with both the EU and the US because to do so is in the best interests of both Britain and global security . " It 's really important that we work with both and we do n't see it as an either-or , " the Prime Minister said . " It is in the best interests of the UK , but also the best interest I think in terms of global security and defence , that we continue to work both with the US and with Europe on these vital issues . " He said there is a " huge amount of trade between the US and the UK , as we have with the EU " . Sir Keir said : " That 's why it 's important I always act in the national interest , the best interests of the UK , so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ work with both sets of partners , particularly in this volatile time . " Sir Keir Starmer has insisted that the UK is " not choosing between " the EU and the US . Speaking at a press conference in Brussels alongside Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte , the Prime Minister was asked whether he would be willing to water down his reset with the EU to keep President Donald Trump on side in the US . Sir Keir told reporters that he has " always been clear that both are important to us " . " Now , that for me is n't new , I think that 's always been the case and will be the case for many , many years to come , " he added . He said that he had discussed issues such as trade and security with Mr Trump . The PM speaks at a press conference with Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte in Brussels ( Image : Getty ) " That 's been the basis of my discussions with President Trump and I know that intense US-EU discussions are planned . " Palais d'Egmont , venue of tonight 's glitzy dinner for Sir Keir Starmer and EU leaders , has hosted British Prime Ministers before - but it did n't go well . Ted Heath arrived on January 22 1972 to sign the treaty taking the UK into the Common Market , the EU 's forerunner , but proceedings had to be delayed after a protestor sprayed Sir Ted with ink on his arrival . It took an hour for a new suit had to be found for the British Prime Minister , leaving the assembled European leaders twiddling their thumbs . Eventually the signing went ahead , ushering in 48 years of membership @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Some mystery has always surrounded the woman who ruined Sir Ted 's big moment . She gave her name as Karen Cooper but turned out to be one Marie Louise Kwiatkowski and rather than objecting to the UK joining the Common Market she appears to have felt slighted over plans to redevelop Covent Garden , which she believed were based on proposals she drew up herself . The Prime Minister 's spokesman has made it clear that the UK will not attempt to talk Donald Trump out of imposing tough tariffs on EU countries , despite Sir Keir Starmer 's desire to improve and " reset " our relations with the EU . He said : " I 'm not going to comment on another country 's trade policy . From the UK 's perspective we have a very strong trading relationship with the United States . " In addition , we wo n't criticise US tariffs on fellow Commonwealth nation Canada . However the UK hopes that the President will choose not to impose @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Keir had been " very nice " . It seems pretty obvious that this different treatment is a result of Brexit , as the UK would have to be part of the same tariff regime as other EU countries if we were still a member . However , asked if the PM saw this as a Brexit benefit , the spokesman declined to be drawn . The Prime Minister 's spokesman said the US is an " indispensible ally " to the UK . " We 've got a fair and balanced trading relationship which benefits both sides of the Atlantic . " It 's worth around ? 300 billion and we are each other 's single largest investors , with ? 1.2 trillion invested in each other 's economies , " he said . Sir Keir Starmer trusts Donald Trump , Downing Street said after the US president suggested he thinks a deal can be done with Britain to avoid imposing tariffs . The Prime Minister 's official @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the US president to keep his word . " Yes , the Prime Minister has had a really constructive early set of conversations with president Trump , and looks forward to working with him to deepen our trade , investment , security and defence relationship , " he said . The US is an " indispensible ally " to the UK , he added . " We 've got a fair and balanced trading relationship which benefits both sides of the Atlantic . " It 's worth around ? 300 billion and we are each other 's single largest investors , with ? 1.2 trillion invested in each other 's economies , " he said . The Royal United Services Institute ( RUSI ) has said there is still too little detail on what Keir Starmer wants from his planned ' ambitious UK-EU defence and security pact ' . Senior Research Fellow for European Security , Ed Arnold , said : " The visit of the Prime Minister to an informal EU Summit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ critical moment in the government 's ' reset ' agenda . Defence will dominate discussions . However , six months on from Labour 's election victory , there is still little detail on what the UK wants from an ' ambitious UK-EU defence and security pact ' , or the value that each side could gain , outside from the improved politics . " " Therefore , the Prime Minister will need to outline concrete proposals and negotiation start points to entice the EU into putting political capital into pursuing such an agreement . " Despite defence being a sensible area to pursue enhanced cooperation , it will not be easy to insulate it from other policy areas , and it should therefore be seen as one part of a wider -- and more complicated -- set of negotiations . " Former MP Greg Hands has spotted that the Slovenian embassy in London has begun flying the Canadian flag in solidarity with the North American country after Donald Trump slapped huge tariffs on the formerly friendly neighbour . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ here in Westminster , this morning . Sir Ben , the former Tory defence secretary , suggested the premier was in no position to make such a statement as the Government has delayed its decision to ramp up defence spending to 2.5% of GDP.He tweeted : " How can Keir Starmer go and lecture Europe on Defence when he refuses to commit to increased UK Defence spending ? " The so called EU ' Defence fund ' is not all it seems and the PM should not forget that NATO not the EU is the corner stone of our security . " Keir Starmer will arrive in Brussels , hoping to bolster ties on security and defence . The Prime Minister will also be hoping a new security pact will form a key part of a wider " reset " with the European Union . The Labour leader is understood to have wanted to separate the defence and security deal and announce it at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the spring . But the EU has refused to seperate this , and is said to be making a youth mobility scheme a key concession . EU leaders are expected to tell Sir Keir that proposals for a closer relationship will be treated as a package , meaning he will have to make concessions on their demands for greater fishing rights in UK waters and a mobility scheme for young Europeans . The Prime Minister will travel to Brussels today to forge closer ties with the EU . Sir Keir will urge EU countries to should ramp up military aid for Ukraine . He will call on them to follow UK and US sanctions on Russia 's faltering economy and praise Mr Trump 's threat of further restrictions , which he will claim has " rattled " President Putin . Downing Street said Sir Keir and Mr Scholz " agreed on the importance of maintaining the momentum towards an even stronger bilateral partnership " . A spokeswoman said : " The Prime @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " The leaders began by reflecting on the progress made between the UK and Germany in recent months , including through the signing of the Trinity House Agreement on defence , and joint action plan on irregular migration . They agreed on the importance of maintaining the momentum towards an even stronger bilateral partnership . " Turning to the situation in Ukraine , the Prime Minister updated on his recent visit and reiterated that it was important to ensure the country was in the strongest possible position in the coming months , so that peace could be achieved through strength . " Russia 's full-scale invasion of Ukraine had underscored the importance of scaling up and co-ordinating defence production across Europe , the leaders agreed . " Updating on the Government 's strategic defence review , which would be published later this year , the Prime Minister said it would encompass the lessons learned in Ukraine and the need to outmanoeuvre Putin 's ongoing aggression and hostile activity across Europe . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wars " if he cosies back up to the EU . Tory leader Kemi Badenoch says Sir Keir must not give Brussels any more money , accept the " compulsory transfer " of asylum seekers , agree to a reduction in fishing rights , allow the European Court of Justice to rule over the EU or compromise on the " primacy " of NATO.Sir Keir will urge EU countries to shoulder more of the burden of aid for Ukraine at the meeting in Belgium . He will call on them to follow UK and US sanctions on Russia 's faltering economy and praise Mr Trump 's threat of further restrictions , which he will claim has " rattled " President Putin .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It discusses opting out of an activity (lockpicking) but lacks a clear causer and causee relationship, and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Building upon and refining its predecessor 's commitment to historical realism , Kingdom Come : Deliverance 2 is an absorbing RPG that fully immerses you in medieval life . If you have the patience to endure a wilfully slow progression system , you 'll be richly rewarded with heaps to do in 15th century Bohemia . Much like its predecessor , Kingdom Come : Deliverance 2 's defining ingredient that separates it from fantasy-fuelled RPGs is its commitment to historical realism . Whereas The Witcher 3 may be based on Polish culture and folklore , Warhorse 's first-person action RPG is about immersing you in 15th century Bohemia where the characters you meet are n't just based on real figures but your actions feel just as believable and consequential as in real life , rather than a typical power fantasy . While that often means progression can be a more pedestrian affair , having the patience to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ genuine form of role-playing , where drawing your sword is rarely the first choice for solving a problem . Which is n't to say Kingdome Come : Deliverance 2 has a slow start , instead thrusting you in media res into a full-scale castle siege . ( Image credit : Deep Silver ) Our returning protagonist , the likeable and occasionally bumbling Henry of Skalitz , has come some way from being an illiterate blacksmith 's apprentice . But even in the context of warring allegiances in the kingdom , some of your immediate concerns when you 're set out questing into the world involve simply trying to find your missing dog , or helping the reclusive herbwoman who saved your life find her daughter . It 's a reminder that you are n't a powerful hero , but a small cog doing your best amid grand political machinations . Nonetheless , Kingdom Come : Deliverance 2 is a sequel on a much larger canvas , painted in a variety of brushstrokes . The emphasis on realism may mean life is hard and brutal , especially if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yet there is an equally bawdy tone , backed by colorful characters using equally as colorful language , or where even a seemingly mundane quest can stretch into relatively epic proportions that 'll dominate your next few hours of play . Even if some friction can lead to frustration while occasional glitches break the immersion , its realization of medieval life remains utterly absorbing . For an RPG with no spells , the real magic of Kingdom Come : Deliverance 2 is just how believable and beautifully rendered with CryEngine its open world is . That 's especially evident when simply walking or riding across open countryside in the early morning or sunset , without being spoiled by the usual clutter of collectibles or waypoints . Come across a village and it will be about the size that a real medieval village would be with humble amenities . Larger towns are fortified with a few specific guarded entrance points , and waltzing into someone 's private property will immediately be unwelcome , albeit still giving you reasonable time to clear off before escalating . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ needlessly will also draw ire from the locals . Instead , you 're encouraged to use your powers of persuasion to affect a favorable outcome , which can depend as much on your appearance as much as your stats . High charisma points alone are n't enough to charm someone if you do n't dress the part and have n't had a wash for a week . This is n't to say that there are n't videogamey conveniences available to you , such as fast-travelling to towns you 've previously visited or being able to advance time so you do n't have to potter around while waiting for a rendezvous . It 's nonetheless intriguing how these systems have some consistency . While time advances while you fast travel , for instance , poor Henry 's hunger and sleep stats will decrease , and he 'll begin to grumble at you for leaving him unrested and unfed should the numbers get dangerously low .

Some of that comes naturally as you play , and early on when circumstances leave Henry penniless in beggar 's clothing , you 're primed for a slow and steady climb to go from surviving to thriving , where every coin in your pouch matters . The first main quest , for instance , has you attempting to gain access to a wedding , which means taking on a handful of menial and tertiary tasks before you can even get close to receiving the coveted invite . But ultimately , you need to put in the work , because much like in real life , the only way to get better at something is to keep doing it .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'opting out of lockpicking earlier on' involves an intransitive verb 'opting' with no NP object and does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It also does not exhibit either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes William's action of withdrawing from an event due to a personal matter, which does not align with the defined properties of the construction.

The North East 's mayor says the " abject lack of social housing is holding our families and region back " after it emerged waiting lists were rising faster in the region than anywhere else in the country . Experts have warned the council house waiting list in England could reach a staggering two million within a decade if political leaders do n't take urgent action . The waiting list for social housing last year rose to its highest level since 2014 , with demand for affordable homes outstripping the number being built . And the problem appears to be most acute in the North of England . Local authority housing registers have increased by 28% in the North East and 20% in the North West between 2021 and 2024 , according to analysis by property consultants JLL . The firm says demand for social housing is increasing but not enough homes are being built . The housing waiting list grew by 43,000 last year and could pass two million before 2034 if current trends continue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Labour mayor Kim McGuinness said : " The North East 's abject lack of social housing is holding our families and region back . We have made the first steps since I was elected last year with a ? 10.7m scheme to build more than 100 new homes in East Durham including new council housing , and approved major schemes in Newcastle and Sunderland , but we need to go much further . " We need to get more spades in the ground as a matter of urgency , and think creatively about where we can build new homes , supporting opportunities such as the Leamside Line Investment Corridor - so we 're not just creating new transport links , but new communities too .

For politics and public affairs news from the North of England sign up to the FREE Northern Agenda newsletter at **27;1651;TOOLONG Marcus Dixon , Director of UK Residential Research at JLL , said : " The 43,000 increase in the number of households on the social housing waiting list is a stark reminder that while Government housing targets remain ambitious , we must find a way to deliver more affordable homes at scale . " Tracy Harrison , chief executive of the Northern Housing Consortium , said more and more people in the North of England on the lowest incomes were being forced into the private rented sector where rents are higher . She added : " This , combined with the cost-of-living crisis and local housing allowance freezes , means social housing waiting lists are rising rapidly . " Traditionally , housing poverty was seen as a problem in London and the South East , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . 23% of the Northern population -- and 32% of children -- are pushed into poverty after housing costs , more than the English average . " The Government has committed to building 1.5 million new homes over this parliament and social housing must be a significant part of this . " Since 2012 , nearly 33,000 council houses in Northern England have been sold via Margaret Thatcher 's Right To Buy scheme , with just 5,000 new social homes built . Housing Secretary Angela Rayner has promised to review Right To Buy to make it more sustainable and increase the country 's stock of affordable housing . Mairi MacRae of charity Shelter said the lack of genuinely affordable social homes has caused homelessness to soar and left thousands of families with little hope of securing a stable home . She said : " The impact of this is devastating . Children are growing up in damaging temporary accommodation , while communities are being torn apart as people are priced out of their local areas -- leaving their jobs , children 's schools and support networks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ social housing waiting lists and ending homelessness for good , investing in a new generation of genuinely affordable social homes is non-negotiable . " A government spokesperson said : " These figures are unacceptable . We are taking urgent action to address this through our Plan for Change , building 1.5 million homes this Parliament and delivering the biggest increase in social and affordable housebuilding in a generation . " Local government has suffered from years of short-term decisions , so we have already set out important steps to help them deliver the homes we need , including overdue reforms to the Right to Buy scheme and an extra ? 500 million for the Affordable Homes Programme . We will set out further measures in due course . " Story Saved You can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes an ability to create opportunities 'out of nothing', which is a different construction and does not involve a causee or the specific interpretations (movement/extraction or prevention) associated with the transitive out of -ing construction.

Such a record has been made all the more impressive considering that not one player in the current Gunners first-team squad has registered double figures for league goals this campaign . Mikel Arteta 's side have had 14 different goalscorers , the most of any side , but have since been targeting attacking reinforcements this month to try and give them a boost in their pursuit of current leaders Liverpool . Ollie Watkins and Benjamin Sesko have been the two players continuously linked with a move to the Emirates , but with just a handful of hours remaining , it looks unlikely that any move will be done in time for either targets . As a result , the summer may be their best bet to try and further bolster the attacking ranks , with one player already touted with a switch to North London in the near future . The Dutchman has enjoyed the best season of his professional career to date , registering 11 goals and four assists in 23 outings - including a hat-trick against the Magpies back in January . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 25-year-old after his impressive form , but would face serious competition from Eddie Howe 's side . He could feature in a variety of roles should he end up making the move to North London , potentially operating in the number 10 role , along with either wide position or as a central striker - offering Arteta added strength in depth . It could also allow Kluivert to follow in the footsteps of one player who captured the hearts of many during his own time as a player at the Emirates Stadium . Robin van Persie joined Arsenal way back in the summer of 2004 from Dutch side Feyenoord , with many supporters not knowing what to expect after joining at the tender age of 20 . However , he quickly made himself a fan favourite in North London , producing countless moments of magic , despite originally joining as a winger , before eventually shifting into a central role - similar to that of Kluivert in 2024/25 . Van Persie would go on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , including various memorable strikes such as his infamous volleys against Charlton Athletic and Everton at various stages of his career . He infuriated the fanbase after swapping the Emirates for Old Trafford in 2012 , joining Manchester United , but you ca n't take away the impact he had as a player during his time under Ars ? ne Wenger . Fast-forward to the present day , the club have the opportunity to land another version of the Dutch star , with compatriot Kluivert , possessing similar traits - often able to create an opportunity out of nothing for himself or his teammates . The 25-year-old , who 's previously been dubbed as " world-class " by talent scout Jacek Kulig , has scored countless goals this campaign , including his long-range strike against Newcastle - with his technique similar to that of Van Persie . He 's also averaged 1.2 successful dribbles per 90 in the Premier League this season , along with 6.2 touches in the opposition box per game - showcasing the threat he holds within attacking areas . It 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with their star attacker , but it 's evident that he has the skill set to massively add to Arteta 's already potent attack . If he was to be half as good as Van Persie during his own time as a player in North London , it would be a deal worth completing - having the opportunity to become a fan-favourite and play a crucial role in ending their wait for a league triumph . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'was talked' is the passive form of 'talk', 'him' (implied by 'was talked') is the NP object, and 'doing so' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also has a prevention interpretation, as Pearce prevented him from calling 911. The verb 'talk' fits into the category of verbs that appear in the V1 slot, specifically under 'By means of enticing, flattering, or verbal persuasion'. The NP object 'him' is a causee who participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'doing so'. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. The phrase 'takes the hassle out of cleaning' involves an NP ('the hassle') as a complement of the complex preposition 'out of', and 'cleaning' is not a VP[-ing] predicate but a gerund functioning as a noun. Additionally, there is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the sentence does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

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

Sunday 's Murrayfield meeting between Scotland and Ireland sells itself pretty well , but anyone in the market for subplots can look to the multiple head-to-heads with potentially significant implications for British & Irish Lions selection . From back three to back row , via the centres and the boiler house , it promises to be an afternoon when outplaying your opposite number could count for something big in both the short and medium-term . One of the most fascinating battles will come at scrum half where Ben White , the consistently classy foil to Finn Russell , goes up against Jamison Gibson-Park , the standout Home Nations nine over the past four years who is many people 's tip to start for the combined side Down Under this summer . If Gibson-Park is a more conspicuously key performer for his Test team , particularly in the post-Johnny Sexton era , White is right up there in the Lions conversation on account of his ability to dovetail with Russell , an excellent box-kicking game and his routinely sharp service from the base of the scrum . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moving to Toulon after the 2023 World Cup , and while a combination of the calf tear he suffered in the November win over Australia and the sparkling form of Baptiste Serin had limited his involvement at the Stade Mayol in the run-up to the Six Nations , White 's sustained elegance , not to mention his eye for a try , will have commended him to Andy Farrell . Most of his previous experience in direct competition with Gibson-Park came at the Aviva Stadium last March , when the pair were afield for 61 shared minutes of Ireland 's 17-13 win . It had only been five minutes at Murrayfield in 2023 and six in Dublin the previous year , when White was first establishing himself in Gregor Townsend 's plans . A mix of first-hand knowledge and a connoisseur 's instinct informs what the former Leicester and London Irish man makes of his positional rival . " He 's a top player , is n't he ? He 's a fantastic scrum half that 's played very well for Ireland and been a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of years . I think the way he plays the game is very smart . He has a fantastic passing game and he controls the way Ireland play really well . Gibson-Park was in fine fettle against England in Dublin DAVID ROGERS/GETTY " So yeah , it 'll obviously be a great challenge and it 's something that I 'm really excited for . I just enjoy being in these big games ; playing in front of a sold-out Murrayfield feels amazing and I like to think that I enjoy the pressure games . I enjoy the challenge and that 's why you work hard .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'make compost out of anything', which does not involve a causee participating in an event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of anything' is a complement of the complex preposition 'out of' and does not introduce a VP[-ing].

14 hours ago Miranda Lipton Chapul Farms ( Credit : Chapul Farms ) These tiny soldiers can eat four times their own weight in organic waste -- and turn it into sustainable fertiliser . With a unique ability to consume nearly any form of organic matter it comes across , one small but mighty insect is becoming a tool to address the growing problem of organic waste and soil degradation . The bug , black soldier fly larvae ( BSFL ) , transforms food waste into nutrient-rich biofertiliser : frass . Insects have been long been used in agricultural practices as a food source -- but now farmers are exploring the potential of bug poo as a sustainable fertiliser . With over 33% of the world 's soil currently degraded , depleted of the nutrients necessary for healthy plant growth , frass can play a major role in restoring soil biodiversity and quality . In May 2024 , the US Department of Agriculture ( USDA ) awarded grants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's capabilities . This included Chapul Farms , an Oregon-based project development company that 's reweaving insects back into American agriculture to eliminate food waste , restore soil health , and produce high-quality animal feed . Backed by the Fertilizer Production and Expansion Program ( FPEP ) , the bipartisan support of the use of insects in agriculture highlights the growing recognition of BSFL 's potential -- for both waste reduction and for enhancing soil health through the production of high quality domestic fertiliser . BSFL can consume nearly any kind of organic waste , from food scraps to agricultural byproducts . Facilities like Chapul Farms utilise its voracious appetite to process large quantities of waste , with the larvae consuming up to four times their own body waste in organic matter everyday . This happens in a fraction of the time required for traditional composting , which can take up to 10 months . The larvae 's efficiency allows for a rapid turnover of organic material into nutrient-rich excrement -- or frass . " They can reproduce pretty quickly too , " says Shankar Ganapathi Shanmugam @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Soil Sciences at Mississippi State University . " And it BSFL grows on dead and decaying material , which means that it can survive on waste . " Shanmugam is spearheading research on the use of frass as a crop nutrient , which until now has not been studied in the US -- though it has been studied in other parts of the world , notably in multiple countries across Europe . This is because insect farming operations create a controlled environment for the bugs to thrive . The frass created from them provides essential nutrients to plants and fosters a more biodiverse soil , which encourages the growth of native plant and insect species , thus supporting the overall ecosystem . " We could make compost out of anything but the impact of running it through this insect biology has all of these positive implications , " says Mimi Casteel , an Oregon wine farmer who has been using Chapul 's frass . " It 's exciting for so many reasons : it 's a portable , pretty low cost investment compared to some other things @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ massive problems with waste , and soldier flies are replacing a missing layer of diversity . " Chapul has worked with local vineyards , researchers and farms to research , educate and promote frass benefits and adoption in the bioregion . TAINABLE , a local soil restoration non-profit , provides laboratory space and farmland to Chapul for their research . " Finding a use for this is important , but if you 're going to market frass as a fertiliser , you need to regulate it , which takes time , " says Shanmugam . " And to make these regulations you need research . " The US National Organic Program does not include insects as an acceptable additive as of now . This makes it a challenge to share this technique with farmers who use organic practices , though teams like Chapul Farms are in conversations with regulators to increase education around it and usher in its inclusion . Unlike chemical fertilisers , which often deplete soil over time , frass promotes biodiversity within the soil by introducing a diverse microbial community . This boosts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to retain water , and reduces the need for costly synthetic inputs . In sharp contrast , synthetics can wreck soil biodiversity , beneficial bacteria and the soil 's natural micro-ecosystem , leaving it dependent on increasingly expensive inputs . They also have intensive fossil-fuel requirements , and reduce soil 's carbon carrying capacity . " We recently saw even more of a push for our government to get projects funded that support domestic fertiliser production , " says Aly Moore , Chief Communications Officer of Chapul Farms . " We realise how many health issues are caused by the reduced nutrient density in crops , and all the pesticides used . And on the cost factor , farmers will not only need less fertiliser over time , but also fewer pesticides . " The microbes in frass proliferate over time , rebuilding soil health This can all contribute to cost savings and be more incentive for farmers , especially at a time when fertiliser prices are sky high and supply is unreliable . Prices more than doubled between 2021 and 2022 . With the US being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the brunt of this impact ; making it not just a fertiliser issue , but also one of food security . " In the two years leading up to 2023 , there was an 8% reduction in global fertiliser consumption , because people were priced out of the market , " says Michael Place , Chief Technology Officer at Chapul Farms . " There were supply disruptions and even unavailability . And FPEP emerged from this sort of emergency . " Soil microbes present an exciting frontier for regenerating soil health , yet less than 1% of total microbes in soil have been cultivated . Frass provides an opportunity to pivot from the reductionist methods of treating soils that perpetuated the soil crisis in the first place , all while bolstering food and agricultural security . Farmers will eventually need less frass to maintain the same levels of soil productivity , as the microbes in frass proliferate over time , rebuilding soil health and resiliency by improving biodiversity . Farmers who have begun using frass in their fields are already reporting promising results . Casteel is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of frass on her crops . While the statistical outcome of the study is still in progress , she has already witnessed perceptible changes . " Anecdotally , what I can tell you is that in the trials that I 've done both with grapevines and in my vegetable farm , the produce itself comes up faster , it has better cellular structure , " says Casteel . " So if you actually cut the leaf and put it under the microscope , the cells grow more densely and they have figure lipid membranes . And what that means is that the plant from day one has more structural integrity , " she says . The FPEP funds will support construction and equipment for BSFL facilities located in Oregon and North Dakota . The projects anticipate yielding 10,000 tons of frass per location per year and will generate 59 new jobs , upon its opening which is expected to be in 2026 . One of the greatest challenges facing the nascent insect agriculture industry is the tunnel vision around insects for protein production which has overshadowed the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ BSFL is a lucrative and fast-growing market , frass remains an underutilised resource in insect agriculture . Getty Images It is early days , but some farmers across the world are starting to see the benefits of using BSLF frass as fertiliser ( Credit : Getty Images ) " I think farmers have historically been convinced that insects are problems , and they just do n't want to talk about adding more problems to their situation , " says Casteel . " But when our farms become more complex , you start to see an exponential rollout of ecological returns . " In addition , insects are keystone species , meaning entire ecosystems would drastically change or collapse without them -- and our world would " grind to a halt " , as the biologist Dave Goulson wrote in the Guardian newspaper . " Ultimately , at its core , we can not survive without insects , " says Pat Crowley , CEO of Chapul Farms . " Natural ecosystems can not flourish ... without the insects as a part of them . And that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as simple as : insects will solve the biggest trends in global agricultural health . And at the same time , I think it 's one of the biggest levers that we have in making agriculture a more resilient , ecosystem-based model . " |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'saps' is used intransitively here, and there is no NP object that functions as a causee. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Rest assured , all imagery and advice is unique and original . Check out how we test and review games here Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is a messy , complex , grueling odyssey with a learning curve that 's steep enough to turn many away in the starting hours . It 's intimidating stuff , especially if you have n't sampled the original . It 's a game that leans on an almost oppressive dedication to realism and a pace that rewards patience and preparedness . From boozy antics , cut-throat marauders , fractious lords , and sketchy millers to stacks of interlocked systems , you 've got your work cut out in Henry 's second pass at revenge and a round-two lads tour Bohemia . If you 're struggling to find your footing , we 've pulled together a list of 11 Kingdom Come @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ locals and carve up medieval guts in no time . Gather up Belladonna and Nettles early to brew Saviour Schnapps . Captured by VideoGamer Call it immersive or a design choice in the name of authenticity , saving in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is a right hassle . While there are auto saves after major quest beats , they are few and far between , so are hardly reliable . Nothing quite saps the fun out of playing that seeing hours of progress disappear into the digital ether because you were ambushed by bandits or fell foul of an unexpected crash and had to port back to an auto save . ? ? Save Up to $1,200 on the Samsung Galaxy S25 ! Pre-order now and save big with trade-in and Samsung credit . Limited time only ! To mitigate this , you 'll want to brew up as much Saviour Schnapps as you can at the alchemy bench in Troskowitz as soon as possible . Chugging this brew is KCD2 manual save mechanic . You 'll need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which are available in and around Troskowitz . If you 're short on herbs and there 's no bed or inn to sleep and save in for miles , then you can always save and exit the game via the pause menu . As you get deeper into the game , you 'll gain access to more beds to sleep and save . Once you 've picked up a few , make a mental note of where they are so that you 're not scrambling when you 're in need of a quick save before a major quest decision or before a tough fight . Bohemia is also littered with camps out in the wild . It 's rough sleeping but can save you in a pinch . At the very start of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 when talking to Captain Thomas , you 'll be given the option to choose from an early boost to one of several stats . You 'll want to go for Speech . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ easier , giving you a fighting chance to succeed at skill checks . The other stats on offer , namely Strength , are far easier to level up : scrap with bandits and you 'll be gaining levels in no time . Speech on the other hand involves a whole lot of haggling and shooting the proverbial manure with villagers . Get a horse early on to make travelling easier . Captured by VideoGamer The lands of Bohemia are vast and quests will take you far and wind into rocky hills , verdant fields adorned with wild flowers , and into the maze-like chambers of towering fortresses . While you can run around , nursing your stamina as Henry puffs and his vision goes bleary from overexertion , taking the time to find a trusty stead early on , makes exploration a whole lot easier , not to mention , faster . After arriving in the Trosky Region , completing a few quests , and getting to grips with your surroundings , you 'll want to make your way down to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but more importantly you 'll find your horse pebbles in the meadow there . You can buy her , but better yet you can persuade the seller to give her to you for free . Food is fairly abundant throughout Bohemia , but it goes off quickly , often faster than you can consume it . Eating food that 's gone off will give you a food poisoning debuff , draining your health and hampering your stamina . You can check the status of food in your inventory by looking at the Condition stat -- anything in orange or red , do n't eat it . To make sure you always have something to nibble on , you 'll want to dry food . Dried food lasts significantly longer and takes far more time to go off . Dried meats , in particular , are a boon as they last ages and fill up Henry 's nourishment far better than most other foods types . To dry food , you 'll need to visit a Drying Rack , such as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Troskowitz . Always have a spade handy . Captured by VideoGamer Though a shovel makes a dent in your carry capacity , especially in the early game , you should try to always have a spade on you . Bohemia is littered with graves begging to be dug up and there are numerous quests that require digging . Nothing quite stops you in your tracks than following a quest line for an hour only to have to travel back to a trader to buy a shovel to progress . You can buy a shovel from the trader in Troskowitz and then store it in your horse 's inventory , transferring it over to Henry 's as and when you need it . Despite his polygonal embodiment , Henry is only human and requires a solid eight-hours of kip every so often to keep him in top shape . Overlook sleep and you 'll be burdened with a tiredness debuff , reducing Henry 's stats . In the early game , you 'll likely be scrambling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the tavern in Troskowitz . Venture north up the main road out of the village and you 'll come to a settlement called Tachov . Speak to the blacksmith Radovan there , who after a smithing test will give you a permanent bed and access to a chest where you can store any surplus gear . No need to pay a few like you would at a tavern . Gather and sell herbs to make groschen early on . Captured by VideoGamer As you arrive in Troskowitz , Henry is destitute , a shadow of his former almost-noble status , booted to the bottom of the social ladder . You 're going to need groschen to get ahead . While you can take on quests to earn some cash , it 's worth taking some time to scour the surrounding fields , ditches , and gardens for herbs . You can then sell this to the apothecary and the trader in the village , or better yet , brew up Saviour Schnapps and sell the potion instead . Alternatively , turn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of villages can be found standing still or sitting down , giving you the perfect opportunity to slink in and pickpocket their pouches for items and groschen . Their pouches also often contain keys to chests found in their homes , allowing you to by-pass the lockpicking mini-game , which can be tough early on Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 . Henry is pretty useless in the early game , especially when it comes to fighting so you 'll want to rely on your two legs to get out of sticky situations . The problem is that Henry 's stamina and health , which are dictated by the Vitality stats , are just as rubbish . It might sound silly , but you 'll want to run around and jump a bunch to raise your Vitality stat . Dart and bounce across wheat fields like a certain former British prime minister and watch the stat spike upwards . Alongside , you can also pick flowers and herbs to increase the stat ( then sell these for groschen as we mentioned above ) . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be terrible at combat at first Questionable narrative reasoning aside , Henry 's lost all his fighting chops when you 're first unleashed into the Trosky Region after the prologue . You 'll likely have a tough old time surviving your first combat encounters . This is normal . It 's meant to feel clunky , unwieldy , and straight up lethal to reflect Henry 's current skills , and , by extension , your status as a novice KCD2 player . To mitigate this , patience and planning is key . Never take on more than one enemy at once in the early game unless you have a death wish . Wait for nightfall to score stealth kills and knockouts on sleeping enemies to thin the herd . And , above all else , get armor by any means necessary as early as possible , as poor or as damaged as it may be . As soon as you can , head over to the Nomad 's Camp in the southwest of the Trosky Region and complete the Combat Training I and II side quests with Tomcat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a few sword-fighting techniques , including the master strike , , putting you in a better position to come out on top in future tussles . Speaking of combat , you trusty hound Mutt is no slouch when it comes to getting stuck into a scrap . You can command him to attack enemies , especially useful if you need to keep one distracted while you deal with his pal . He can also sniff out treasures , quest objectives , and people , making him a veritable boon as you discover and explore Bohemia . For these reasons , you 'll want to complete the Mutt quest and find your dog as early as possible . It 's also an efficient way to clear the fog of war in a good portion of the map as you 'll be going around the houses somewhat . Practice all skills whenever you can . Captured by VideoGamer Reflecting the real world , to get Henry to be good at anything , whether that 's a carousing booze-guzzler at the local tavern @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you 'll need to practice . Other than upping your mechanical skills , it 's also how Henry improves his stats . Do , do , and do some more . It 's a bit of a slow burn , but engaging with all the systems -- lockpicking , pickpocketing , alchemy , smithing , combat , horse riding , and more -- will make Henry better equipped to handle the many trials and tribulations ahead . Similarly , take the time to read any books you come across to improve your skills and stats . For a few hours of lost time , you 'll get major stat increases . |

Farmers are furious with the Government over its inheritance tax raid ( Image : Danny Lawson ) Labour has been accused of plotting the " slow death " of thousands of traditional English farms to meet environmental targets . The Government wants farmers to shift away from food production towards measures like solar panels and tree planting . Its eco-plans could mean the equivalent of 12,000 farms closing within a generation , according to Tory analysis . Farmers have slammed the move as an " attack on Britain 's rural identity " which threatens the nation 's food security . About 9% of England 's farming land will need to be converted into forest and wild habitats by 2050 to meet the Government 's net zero and nature targets .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The subject 'Bristol' is not performing an action on an object that results in a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'missing out of seeing' is used in a different sense, indicating a lack of opportunity rather than causing someone to move out of or preventing someone from an action.

This has sparked worries about increased traffic and accessibility issues . Cycling , on the other hand , would take 38 minutes . Despite this , Bristol City Council is hopeful that some individuals will opt to walk or cycle to the arena , leading to a series of changes along Charlton Road in Brentry , a key route running south of the airfield . The council sought public opinion on the plans last spring , but it remains uncertain when construction will commence . An update on the Charlton Road plans will be presented to councillors on the transport policy committee on Thursday , February 6 . DTodd believes : " Any competent administration would stop this white elephant being built and put it slap bang centre of the city centre redevelopment plans even if they had the transport problem sorted out but to hear the dreaded words cycle lane at this late stage is truly terrifying for the long term viability of an out of town arena . You get one go at this and they are getting it terribly wrong . If the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kick some life back into the centre which by the way is what every good forward thinking city in the country has done . " Werburghs feels : " Dreaded words , cycling lane ! How dare they use a cycle to transport themselves around pollution and noise free ! " Upsetter adds : " Parking restrictions and a cycle lane : Win-win . " Kelvin weech writes : " Still talking about it ! It 's about time the council got on with actually building it . Bristol is missing out of seeing major bands/artists because there are no venues large enough to entice them to play here . Bristolians are forced to travel to Manchester , Birmingham or London to see any decent band or artist , whilst council argue over trivial matters such as pedestrian & bike lanes . Enough already , get the bloody thing up & running . " Berklicker says : " Trying to fill an arena with cyclists over the reality of most people wanting to drive there is an absolute joke . If they do n't provide adequate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a rail line that runs adjacent to the site and if that is n't utilised then the venue will fail . The football matches at Bristol City and Rovers are driven to and not cycled to are they ? The parking in the areas is horrendous because no facilities are present . Long Ashton park and ride is empty on match days . They have an opportunity and if they blow it with cycle lanes and no parking it will become another failure and if you think otherwise you are wrong . " Dbanderson comments : " What is needed is 1000s of car parking spaces for those arriving from the M4 and M5 . " Grockel1 mentions : " The Mall car parks can be utilised for this as the shops will be closed in the evenings . " Berklicker disagrees : " No they wo n't ! The Long Ashton park and ride is n't utilised for City matches is it ? Correct me if I 'm wrong because I see vehicles parked dangerously around the Cumberland Basin system every week .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate with 'I' as the NP subject, 'talk' as V1, 'myself' as the NP object, and 'getting a dog' as the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also allows for a reflexive NP object coreferential with the subject, which is an atypical but acceptable type of NP object in the transitive out of -ing construction. The interpretation is prevention ('I prevented myself from getting a dog'), fitting one of the two types of interpretations the construction can have.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'rules him out of making a comeback to boxing' involves 'rules out' as a phrasal verb followed by 'of making a comeback', but it does not involve a causer causing a causee to move or preventing them from an action in the way described by the transitive out of -ing construction. Additionally, there is no clear movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as defined for the construction.

Former Russian heavyweight boxer and world champion challenger , Alexander Povetkin , is set to have a significant part of his fighting resume scrapped after recent findings of past doping offences . It has been revealed through a wider probe into systemic doping within Russian sports by the International Testing Agency ( ITA ) and International Boxing Association that Povetkin tested positive for ostarine back in 2014 . Ostarine is a selective androgen receptor modulator and is known to enhance performance and enable muscle growth . The ITA states the retired Russian has currently been serving a provisional suspension since last October , and the ban will prohibit him from making any comeback to the ring until at least October 2028 , which , given his age , is highly unlikely . Povetkin officially hung up his gloves in 2021 , three months after a rematch loss to Britain 's Dillian Whyte . The defeat saw Whyte avenge a shocking loss to the Russian from six months prior when he was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Povetkin previously served a one-year ban from boxing in 2016 after testing positive for ostarine and meldonium . This caused a previously announced fight for the WBC heavyweight title with Deontay Wilder to be cancelled . According to Ben Shalom , Anthony Joshua 's next fight is already signed , and it could be taking place in Africa . Posts The ITA confirms their new findings mean Povetkin 's fight records from October 2014 to October 2024 have been officially disqualified and revoked . These latest developments will wipe out the 12 fights Povetkin took part in during the last seven years of his career . These include a loss to Anthony Joshua for the unified heavyweight title in 2018 , a victory over Carlos Takam for the WBC Silver title in 2014 , and his two fights with Whyte . Povetkin also faced off against British fighters David Price and Hughie Fury in this timeframe , beating both of them , with the former being devastatingly knocked out within five rounds in Cardiff seven years ago . The revelation of Povetkin 's offence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cause his fighting career to be tarnished by many in the boxing world . His time in the sport saw him amass an impressive amateur career , as he won a gold medal in the super-heavyweight division at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens , Greece . The Russian also won gold at the European Championships in 2002 and 2004 , as well as the 2003 World Championships . In addition to damaging Povetkin 's own name , the offence only adds to the long-running saga of professional Russian athletes being associated with doping and regularly gaining a physical advantage over opponents in competition . While Povetkin 's latest ban rules him out of making a comeback to boxing , the 45-year-old may not have had the time to do so in any case , as he has moved on from competing in the ring and delved into politics .

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

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes the legendary Spaniard creating chances 'out of nothing', which is a metaphorical expression not involving a causee or a VP[-ing] predicate.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('price people out of going into Ipswich'). It also exhibits a prevention interpretation, where the action of pricing prevents people from going into Ipswich. The verb 'price' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically'. The NP object 'people' functions as a causee who participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'going into Ipswich'. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate that would induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'pulled out of qualifying' is a phrasal verb where 'qualifying' is a gerund acting as the object of the preposition 'out of', not part of a VP2[-ing] predicate in the construction's sense.

FORMER world number one Simona Halep has announced her retirement after suffering a resounding defeat in her first match of 2025 . Halep belatedly got her season under way in her home event , the Transylvania Open , in Romania on Tuesday , after being handed a wildcard . But the two-time Grand Slam champion won just two games as Italy 's Lucia Bronzetti powered to a 6-1 6-1 victory in just 59 minutes . Speaking in an emotional on-court interview , Halep said : " Tonight , I do n't know if it 's with joy or sadness , I think both feelings are trying me but I 'm making this decision with my soul .

Life goes on , there is life after tennis and I hope that we will see each other again . " I 'll come to the tennis here as often as I can and of course I will continue to play -- but to be competitive it requires much more and at this moment it is no longer .

How do you like your eggs in the morning ? If the answer is " perfectly cooked with a scientific twist " then researchers believe they 've cracked it . The new technique calls for a boiled egg to be switched between hot and cool water to achieve an optimal balance between a firm white and creamy yolk .

" If you try the periodic egg , you will never go back , " he said .

Enjoy your perfect boiled egg All of the eggs were tested for " texture and sensory qualities " , with their chemical properties evaluated using nuclear magnetic resonance and high-resolution mass spectrometry , to reveal what compounds were present and how the molecules inside the egg were behaving .

They applied similar equations to the boundary conditions you see in an egg , between the shell and the white , and the white and the yolk . Their computational software guided them to their periodically-cooked egg . Di Lorenzo does n't expect the public to switch en masse to the method . " Our lives nowadays are always very busy , and I do see how difficult it would be for the average person to introduce periodic cooking to cook dinner after work , " she said .

The second time I transfer it , the other way , I wonder if it is working .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'dropped out of' followed by a noun phrase 'training to become a solicitor', which does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the sentence does not yield a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Demand is soaring for these unsung members of management teams who prioritise good stewardship over bureaucracy Jane Hamilton Thursday February 06 2025 , 12.01am , The Times Erika Eliasson-Norris , chief executive of Beyond Governance , says the profession can make a big difference to an organisation 's " profits and reputation " Jane Hamilton Thursday February 06 2025 , 12.01am , The Times It 's the " invisible career " underpinning every organisation in the UK , yet the recent Post Office Horizon scandal has seen governance emerge from the shadows , moving from nebulous backroom function to a high-profile marker of integrity and success . Handling risk through creating good governance frameworks has become a priority for all organisational leaders , meaning governance professionals are now recognised as key members of every management team . The number of governance jobs advertised has also increased steadily over the past decade , with governance professionals now occupying strategic positions of considerable influence at the heart of organisations .

" This job is about curiosity , insight and a fundamental belief in the value that organisations can generate . You need to be able to assimilate lots of complex information quickly along with being presentable and credible to senior people -- often with well-developed egos -- who you might well need to challenge . " The Chartered Governance Institute , the professional body , estimates that there are between 40,000 and 50,000 governance specialists in the UK , although the tens of thousands more combine governance responsibilities with other roles .

" Governance is a key growth area as it is crucial for organisations because it provides the framework for effective decision-making , accountability , risk-management and long-term success , " she says . But becoming a governance specialist offers long-term success for professionals , too . Many people enter it as a second career , bringing valuable skills such as legal knowledge and managerial experience . Senior pay is strong with the company secretary salary averaging ? 121,449 .

However , good governance is not just about avoiding catastrophe , it is also about the notion of stewardship , " Rave notes . " It 's about leading something that provides public good and handing it over to future generations in a better state than you found it .

Either study the institute 's chartered governance qualifying programme or study a dual-award postgraduate course in governance at a partner university . Both options can be combined with work . Law or accountancy graduates may be exempt from some exams . Never stop learning : Keep up to date with developments in legislation by reading professional journals such as Governance and Compliance magazine and newsletter . Consider consultancy : Two-thirds of companies outsource some governance work so there is a thriving industry in governance consultancy . Generalise first , then specialise .

I know how good governance can and will make a difference to an organisation 's professional outcomes , profits and reputation . " I am on a life mission to dispel myths around corporate governance and to inspire the next generation and beyond . As an industry we should be highlighting governance as a possible career through UK schools and universities , especially as an option for those who feel bound by socioeconomic chains .

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('Manchester City supporters') + V1 ('may be priced') + NP object ('their side') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('supporting'). It also gives rise to a prevention interpretation, where the supporters are prevented from supporting their side due to the club's ticketing-policy decisions. The verb 'priced' fits into the category of verbs that exert force or pressure metaphorically. The NP object 'their side' functions as a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'supporting'.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks a VP2[-ing] predicate and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes an ability to create chances from nothing, which is unrelated to the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'out of nothing' is a prepositional phrase modifying 'creating', and there is no NP object that functions as a causee participating in an event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate. Additionally, the sentence does not yield a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'take the hassle out of refueling your phone, wireless earbuds, and watch' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to be a figurative expression about reducing inconvenience, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

It feels like no one should have to say this , and yet we are in a situation where it needs to be said , very loudly and clearly , before it 's too late to do anything about it : The United States is not a startup . If you run it like one , it will break . The onslaught of news about Elon Musk 's takeover of the federal government 's core institutions is altogether too much -- in volume , in magnitude , in the sheer chaotic absurdity of a 19-year-old who goes by " Big Balls " helping the world 's richest man consolidate power . There 's an easy way to process it , though . Donald Trump may be the president of the United States , but Musk has made himself its CEO . This is bad on its face . Musk was not elected to any office , has billions of dollars of government contracts , and has radicalized others and himself by elevating conspiratorial X accounts with handles like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ resources and information technology departments , and he has deployed a strike force of eager former interns to poke and prod at the data and code bases that are effectively the gears of democracy . None of this should be happening . This is an edition of the WIRED Politics Lab newsletter . Read previous editions here . It is , though . And while this takeover is unprecedented for the government , it 's standard operating procedure for Musk . It maps almost too neatly to his acquisition of Twitter in 2022 : Get rid of most of the workforce . Install loyalists . Rip up safeguards . Remake in your own image . There 's AI , of course . They all want AI . They want it especially at the GSA , where a Tesla engineer runs a key government IT department and thinks AI coding agents are just what bureaucracy needs . Never mind that large language models can be effective but are inherently , definitionally unreliable , or that AI agents -- essentially chatbots that can perform certain tasks for you -- @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just by outputting information but by ingesting it , turning whatever enters its maw into training data for the next frontier model . Never mind that , would n't you know it , Elon Musk happens to own an AI company himself . Go figure . Speaking of data : They want that , too . DOGE agents are installed at or have visited the Treasury Department , the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration , the Small Business Administration , the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services , the Department of Education , the Department of Health and Human Services , the Department of Labor . Probably more . They 've demanded data , sensitive data , payments data , and in many cases they 've gotten it -- the pursuit of data as an end unto itself but also data that could easily be used as a competitive edge , as a weapon , if you care to wield it . And savings . They want savings . Specifically they want to subject the federal government to zero-based budgeting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which every expenditure needs to be justified from scratch . One way to do that is to offer legally dubious buyouts to almost all federal employees , who collectively make up a low-single-digit percentage of the budget . Another , apparently , is to dismantle USAID just because you can . ( If you 're wondering how that 's legal , many , many experts will tell you that it 's not . ) The fact that the spending to support these people and programs has been both justified and mandated by Congress is treated as inconvenience , or maybe not even that . Those are just the goals we know about . They have , by now , so many tentacles in so many agencies that anything is possible . The only certainty is that it 's happening in secret . Musk 's fans , and many of Trump 's , have cheered all of this . Surely billionaires must know what they 're doing ; they 're billionaires , after all . Fresh-faced engineer whiz kids are just what this country needs , not the stodgy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to nextify the Constitution . Sure , why not , give Big Balls a memecoin while you 're at it . The thing about most software startups , though , is that they fail . They take big risks and they do n't pay off and they leave the carcass of that failure behind and start cranking out a new pitch deck . This is the process that DOGE is imposing on the United States . No one would argue that federal bureaucracy is perfect , or especially efficient . Of course it can be improved . Of course it should be . But there is a reason that change comes slowly , methodically , through processes that involve elected officials and civil servants and care and consideration . The stakes are too high , and the cost of failure is total and irrevocable . Musk will reinvent the US government in the way that the hyperloop reinvented trains , that the Boring company reinvented subways , that Juicero reinvented squeezing . Which is to say he will reinvent nothing at all , fix no problems , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ power and wealth . He will strip democracy down to the studs and rebuild it in the fractious image of his own companies . He will move fast . He will break things .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate.

When you purchase through links on our site , we may earn an affiliate commission . Here 's how it works . ( Image credit : Warhorse Studios ) I consider it high praise to say Kingdom Come : Deliverance 2 has good fast travel , because I do n't know anyone who hates fast travel as much as me . For years I 've railed against the ways sandbox games lean on fast travel to paper over boring maps or uninspiring traversal tools and celebrated games that bake travel and wayfinding right into the adventure . I subscribe to the same hardline stance as Dragon 's Dogma 2 director Hideaki Itsuno : " Travel is boring ? That 's not true . It 's only an issue because your game is boring . All you have to do is make travel fun . " Preach Itsuno-san , but I admit that 's a blanket suggestion that ignores the nuance of open world games . Travel is fun when you 're seeing regions of the map for the first time , but backtracking is comparably dull @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than pressing a button , but not so slow or punishing that getting somewhere we 've already been is a chore . It 's a tough nut to crack , which is why I 've spent the last few weeks endlessly impressed by Kingdom Come : Deliverance 2 's unique take on fast travel . Fundamentally , fast traveling in KCD2 is as easy as clicking on the city or village you want to visit . You can just go as long as you 've been there previously like in any Bethesda RPG , but the process is n't instant here . You get to watch your little Henry on the map walk or ride to his destination like platoons on a war map , witnessing the hours pass and the road take its toll on Henry 's hunger and stamina . It 's a slick system that lets players in a rush get around quickly while still participating in the sort of random roadside discovery that you 'd totally miss in Fallout or Skyrim . The best part is that this fast-forwarded travel sequence is n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ running in the background , and that means all the random NPC interactions Henry has on the road will still appear in menu transit . When you 're riding somewhere manually these side adventures occur as naturally as they do in Red Dead Redemption 2 , but in fast travel they pop up on the map like old school Oregon Trail encounters . You can choose to stop and see what 's up or continue the journey . If there 's an immediate threat , like a bandit ambush or a pack of wolves , you can attempt to flee . Something I really love about these mini-adventures , which is actually an extension of something great about KCD2 in general , is how mundane they can be . The first Kingdom Come had a similar travel system , but Warhorse seriously pumped up the variety of encounters in the sequel . A few of the run-ins I 've had in 50 hours of fast travel : It 's a slick system that lets players in a rush get around quickly while still participating in the sort of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or Skyrim when beaming around the map . Warhorse 's solution also acknowledges that , yes , this is a beautiful and large open world with not a ton happening in every inch of it . It 's a wonderful game for trotting down roads at a leisurely pace while you wayfind with landmarks or get pleasantly lost , but even I do n't want to play that way all the time . ( Image credit : Warhorse Studios ) As much as I respect Dragon 's Dogma 2 's limited fast travel and love its archaic wagon network that will taxi you between some cities ( but not all of them ) , I often felt constrained by elements that were supposed to be freeing . Backtracking was super slow and the sandbox just did n't have the variety to make a ninth journey to the same city fun .

It 's a balanced system from every angle . Not to suggest this is exactly how every open world RPG should do things from now on -- random ogre pop-ups in Dragon 's Dogma 2 would n't make that boss fight any less repetitive -- but I hope its execution inspires other studios to weave fast travel into the world in ways that enhance immersion while also being genuinely quick .

Former Whitley Bay footballer Mark Taylor who has had a motor neurone disease diagnosis for more than fifteen years ( Image : ChronicleLive ) A remarkable former footballer has now marked 15 years since his motor neurone disease diagnosis - and is still passionate about supporting youngsters at a Tyneside school . Mark Taylor played for Whitley Bay FC 's FA Vase winning side in 2009 , before being diagnosed with the denegerative illness in 2010 . A PE teacher , he has since reflected that the first signs of MND were present even as early as 2008 . As 2025 began , he told ChronicleLive how he was still " enjoying life as much as I can " , and that working at Kenton @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ - interacting with students and helping with prizes . Mark said that from his point-of-view , his aim was simply to hope that he continues to be able to manage his condition as he currently can - while he 's desperate for this to be the year Newcastle United finally win another trophy . He said : " The last few years have been good and I am still enjoying life as much as I can . I have an amazing group of friends and family , who I regularly see and message , they always make the effort to stay in touch and visit me . " Although I do n't go to the games I still watch as many Newcastle games as possible and have my fingers crossed that this is going to be the year we finally win a trophy .

One of my roles is praise and rewards and I love interacting with the students giving prizes and them showing me their work . I recognise the importance of the structure and routine it gives me in my life " I know that 15 years is quite a significant milestone but I try not to think about it like that and just get on with my life the best I can . I feel that I have hit a plateau point in my condition , I have n't have any chest infections or anything which is a big issue with a Tracheostomy . I just hope that it continues and I can do as much as I am currently doing for as long as possible . " A Tracheostomy means Mark is able to breathe through a tube attached to his windpipe - he has previously spoken about how he believes it has helped prolong his life , though at a cost as he is reliant on the support of a ventilator . In recent years the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease - such as rugby players Doddie Weir and Rob Burrow - has seen MND hit the spotlight , but it remains an illness about which little is known , and there remains no cure . Rob , who has far outstripped the the three years he was initially told he had to live , said there was hope though . He added : " Events like the Ice Bucket Challenge , the fundraising centred around Rob and Doddie and their sad deaths have really publicised MND to the public . It 's amazing the amount of money being raised and there has been some advancement in knowledge and possibilities of treatments . " I feel that if it were n't for people like Rob and Doddie , we would be nowhere near where we are now in terms of knowledge or treatment . We are still miles away from a treatment for me , but I hope something happens soon for other people who are sadly diagnosed with this terrible disease .

by 07 February 2025 A former British Airways captain has written his memoirs . He talked to Tim Wyatt about his work and faith Brian Walpole Brian Walpole Brian Walpole 0:00 / 0:00 IT ALL began with a tennis dinner . The year was 1981 , and 47-year-old Captain Brian Walpole was flying high . As one of the first British Airways ( BA ) Concorde pilots , Mr Walpole had what he called " the best seat in the house " . Week after week , he cruised at 60,000 feet from London to New York at twice the speed of sound . The 109 passengers and crew on board travelled 23 miles every minute -- faster than the earth 's rotation , 12 miles beneath them . After a long career RAF and then commercial career as a pilot , Mr Walpole had reached the pinnacle of his profession . He was happily married to a childhood sweetheart , with three flourishing children . His teenage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , after one of her tournaments , the Walpoles attended a dinner at which they met the tennis journalist Gerald Williams , who mentioned that he was flying to New York later that week to commentate on the US Open . Mr Walpole , who was soon to be given the additional task of steering BA 's struggling Concorde division into profit , was making the same journey on the same day . So , he proposed a deal : " Gerald , if I was to give you a free Concorde ticket to New York , would you undertake to me that every time you had a microphone in front of you commentating on tennis , that you eulogise about the wonderful flight you had out ? " Brian WalpoleBrian Walpole and fellow RAF trainees in 1953 Mr Williams was as good as his word , and followed up with an invitation to breakfast the next morning in New York , during which the journalist enquired where God featured in Mr Walpole 's many successes . Although he had been raised by a Bible-reading , churchgoing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ life . He was convinced that he had risen to the heights through skill and hard work . " I ca n't remember what my response was , but probably along the lines of , ' Well , it 's how good I am at doing all this , ' " Mr Walpole recalls . But that unexpected challenge niggled . After much cajoling from Mr Williams , Mr Walpole agreed to visit his church and meet the vicar . Over time , his wife joined him in church , and , as the pair read and studied and asked questions , they came to see things differently . " I began to understand that everything I had had been given to me by God : my ability to fly aeroplanes , my wife , my children , the opportunities I had been encouraged to take , and my career path -- everything had come from God , " Mr Walpole writes in his recently published memoir Captain Concorde . " So it was , aged forty-seven , I began a new , far more incredible journey @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " CALLED up for National Service in the 1950s , Mr Walpole picked the RAF , and was soon learning to fly . He remembers this as an exhilarating time , and yet death and tragedy remained close at hand . Several of his friends died in crashes , including one whose jet slammed into the ground metres away from him after a bird hit the cockpit window . Brian WalpoleFormation Aerobics with Tiger Squadron in 1955 On another occasion , while flying for the RAF 's acrobatic team -- precursor to the Red Arrows -- a demonstration went wrong , a parachute failed to open , and a colleague plummeted hundreds of metres to his death during an air show . Despite it all , Mr Walpole remained unshaken , and said that he was never nervous when entering the cockpit . " I do n't know whether that was a function of complacency or confidence in oneself , but no , it did n't impact on me . " But he did meet an RAF chaplain , who left a lasting impression @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ St John 's Gospel , originally printed for the Forces during the war . At the end of the biblical text was a brief message : " What the compass and instruments are to the naval officer and the ordnance map is to the field officer , so the Bible is to us in our journey through life . " It became his constant companion throughout his career . He would tuck it into his breast pocket before every flight , sometimes tapping it lightly as he fired off a quick prayer to a God whom he was not sure he believed in . " I used to put my hand on it and say , ' Look after me , ' or ' Here we go again . ' ' Help me , Lord , with this one , ' or ' Let me be calm , be with me Lord ' . . . it was with me , and I was conscious of getting all the safety out of flying that I could . " A growing sense of his need of God was in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at BA , many of the more senior pilots had trained during the Second World War , and younger colleagues often grilled them for anecdotes about bombing raids on Germany . But Mr Walpole never heard these veterans of Bomber Command -- a branch that suffered a 44-per-cent death rate -- attribute their survival to the Lord . " And I remember that impacting on me . Why did they never say ' Thank you , Lord , ' because I was becoming more and more appreciative . But I never , ever , ever heard a captain say ' Oh , God spared me through 45 raids on Berlin . ' " HE TOOK over the Concorde division of BA in 1982 , just as his faith was growing stronger . The division was losing money , and , with government support withdrawn , his bosses had given him just two years to get it into profit , or they would shut down the whole programme . Fearing that , if Concorde collapsed , supersonic aviation would be set back for a generation , Mr Walpole responded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that I spent more and more time praying about the opportunity to save this beautiful aeroplane , and all the work that people had put into it . " Within three years , a ? 16-million annual loss had been converted into a ? 50-million profit , and " Captain Concorde " was once again f ? ted . He flew the Queen to and from a Caribbean tour , and persuaded the Prime Minister , Margaret Thatcher , to fly on Concorde for an official trip to Canada . It was there that he gained a memento that is still on the wall of his office at home : a " speeding " ticket issued to him by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for going at Mach 2 over Toronto . Brian WalpoleQueen Elizabeth the Queen Mother in the jump seat of Concorde , with Brian Walpole Flying over the Atlantic at twice the speed of sound came to feel quite different . He saw 250,000 square miles of the earth beneath him , and the stars above as he scratched the edge of space itself @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ realised that I , Brian Walpole , the egotist pilot , was simply a man who thought he had achieved everything in his own strength and abilities , but was finally coming face to face with the greater truth , seeing my life and the world in a whole new light . " This perspective came into its own when his career came to an early and uncomfortable halt . In the late 1980s , he was flying home to London when one of the engines blew . He safely landed at Heathrow , but forgot to fill in his fuel log as required . BA grounded him during an investigation , but , before it could be completed , he reached mandatory retirement age . " I appreciated as never before that I knew God was with me and loved me unconditionally , " he writes in his memoir . " Though it was painful , I experienced a peace that truly surpassed understanding , knowing that I could trust Him with my future away from the captain 's seat . " Brian WalpoleBrian Walpole in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when an Air France Concorde crashed on take-off at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport , killing everyone on board . Mr Walpole still remembers the horror . " I froze , and I thought ' Well , I hope it 's not one of ours . ' " It was n't , but he had known the French pilot . The investigation into the Paris disaster , followed by a downturn in business aviation after 9/11 , ultimately meant the end of Concorde , permanently grounded in 2003 . Mr Walpole was in no doubt that this was not the end of the story for supersonic flight , however , and points to firms in the US experimenting with a new generation of faster-than-sound commercial jets . The first planes that he flew as an 18-year-old RAF cadet were hand-cranked Tiger Moths , with a top speed of 90mph and an engine no more powerful than a Ford Fiesta . By the end of his career , he was going more than 17 times faster , at the controls of the most futuristic plane ever built . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recuperation from a broken hip , he has remained an active member of his local independent Evangelical church , still prays , reads his Gospel , and regularly prays -- that telling his story might lead others to God . He will measure the success of the memoir , he says , by how many , after reading it , " have turned their faith up a notch " .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'made a career out of sharing their lives online' involves an NP ('a career') as a complement of the complex preposition 'out of', and 'sharing' modifies the following noun phrase 'their lives online'. It does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, nor does it involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

Vloggers have been exposed for the alleged cruel treatment of their children Family days out , emotional updates , parenting tips and sweet siblings moments have all becomes staples of a family vlog . From candid confessions to first steps , some parents have made a career out of sharing their lives online with millions watching at home . But there 's certainly a dark side of the happy smiles and giggling with granny , YouTubers like the Stauffers , DaddyOFive and Jordan Cheyenne all scored millions of views by granting the public total access to their lives - but behind the scenes lay a dark and murky reality that no one could have guessed . Mike Martin , from Maryland , who shot to fame under the name ' DaddyOFive ' sparked online backlash and a criminal investigation after him and his wife were filmed smashing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Even more horrific were the actions of now-disgraced mumfluencer Ruby Franke who will spend up to 30 years inaUtahprison for brutally abusing two of her children in a ' concentration camp-like setting ' . Here , Femail takes a look at the dark side of family vlogging . Mike Martin 's now defunct DaddyOFive YouTube channel once boasted 700,000 subscribers and $350,000 a year in advertising : ( Pictured : Mike and Heather Martin and their five children ) Nearly a decade ago Mike Martin and his brood appeared to be on top of the world . Formerly known as DaddyOFive on YouTube , Mike prided himself on uploading daily doses of family life , for which his efforts earned him more than 700,000 subscribers and $350,000 a year in advertising . As his moniker suggests , Mike is a father to five children , two with ex-wife , Rose Hall - named Cody and Emma - and three stepchildren - Jake , Ryan and Alex - with wife and fellow content creator , Heather Martin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and filmed ' pranking ' videos , which instantly became popular and launched them into overnight stardom . But a closer look at the vlogs revealed series of bizarre moments . In 2016 when Mike and Heather smashed their children 's XBox with a hammer and pushed their son Cody , who was only nine at the time , into a bookcase . He suffered a bloody nose after the push - although Mike later claimed it was fake blood . In other clips , they convinced Cody he was adopted , falsely accused him of bad behaviour and repeatedly yelled and swore at him . For one prank , the couple decided to trick Cody by spraying disappearing ink on the floor of his room and blaming him . In another clip , the couple berated Cody for six minutes for ' messing up ' his room . Heather is seen screaming ' Get the f**k up here ! What did you do ? ' while Mike threatened to sell his Pokemon toys . At the climax of the video , Mike @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , brah . You guys got pranked hard . ' Their videos sparked concern when in 2016 Mike and Heather were seen smashing their children 's XBox with a hammer and pushing Cody into a bookcase In one emotional clip , Cody threatened to kill himself saying , ' I hate my life just kill me ' . It was later discovered that an older brother filmed Mike while he tormented his son . Many viewers - including creator Philip DeFranco - flagged what they deemed emotional and physical abuse , resulting in an online petition which drew more than 20,000 signatures to get Child Protective Services to investigate the family . Simultaneously prosecutors from the Frederick County Circuit Court investigated Mark and Heather for neglecting a minor . The couple pleaded guilty and were initially sentenced to five years supervised probation . According to the Baltimore Sun , the psychological effect on their children became apparent when during original sentencing , a neuropsychologist was quoted as saying the Martins ' behaviour was linked to ' observable , identifiable and substantial impairments of their children @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Two years later , things were looking up for the pair as a Maryland judge reduced the sentence to probation before judgement . The lighter sentence does not include supervision , and allows the couple to seek expungement of their child neglect convictions after three years . Child Protective Services launched an investigation into the Martins ' parenting and ultimately decided to award custody of Mike 's two youngest children to their biological mom Rose Hall On the social media front , they were banned from posting videos of Cody or Emma unless it was for ' legitimate family purposes ' and their children were made attend mental health treatment . If the couple violated the terms of their probation , they could go to prison for up to 10 years . At the time , the Martins uploaded an apology video with Heather claiming it to be the ' worst ' period of their lives . ' We realise we have made some terrible parenting decisions ' said Heather . ' I understand and acknowledge and respect how everyone feels , ' added @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ should not be there and did things we should not do ' . It seemed the allure of family vlogging was too strong to resist as the couple returned in 2018 under a new name , FamilyOFive . Yet again they were accused of uploading videos that contained questionable parenting etiquette , as well as of violating YouTube 's Community Guidelines . They then ventured into streaming and created a website where they charged viewers a $5 subscription fee to watch so-called family content - but it did n't last long . ' In order to move on with the healing process from the 2017 events , we have AGREED WILLINGLY to remove our videos , from even this site ' the Martins wrote . ' For the sake and well-being of our family Mike and I feel it is best that we take a long break from the public spotlight ' . Like moths to a flame the Martins emerged on social media once more . A post under the name ' The Martin Family ' , along with this bizarre message from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Ryan , and Alex . ' Our parents were wrongfully , accused of things they did not do but made the best choices they could for all of us at the time . ' Our parents have turned over all rights of the website and any DaddyOFive/FamilyOFive archives to us . OF COURSE OUR PARENTS ARE IN OUR VIDEOS they are OUR PARENTS . They have given us permission to use any footage they record as we see fit ' . Before 2020 , Myka and James Stauffer were picture perfect parents that almost any child would be happy to be adopted by ... or so it seemed ( Pictured : Myka and James Stauffer with their biological children , Kova , Jaka and Radley , and their adopted son Huxley ) Myka and James extensively chronicled the journey of adopting Huxley from China . They later announced he had autism and had to ' rehome ' him due to his complex needs Myka and James Stauffer were picture perfect parents that almost any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so it seemed . Five years ago , the Stauffers ' fame was at its peak ; the then-family-of-seven based in Columbus , Ohio , were YouTube superstars who boasted a whopping one million followers owed in part to their transparent familial content . Between 2016 and 2020 , Myka and James extensively chronicled the journey of adopting a baby boy named Huxley , from China , who they welcomed into their home alongside their four biological children , Kova , Jaka , Radley and Onyx . They documented the journey from raising money for the adoption to the day he arrived . But shortly after their son was adopted , the couple revealed he had been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder which Myka admitted was challenging to ' process ' . In a piece penned for Parade magazine in August 2020 , Myka wrote : ' Our son ended up having a stroke in utero , has level three autism , and sensory processing disorder . It took a lot of time to process and to readjust to his new diagnosis ' . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ABA Applied Behaviour Analysis in-home therapy a week and went to to ' private preschool ' to help with his needs . ABA therapy is a controversial psychological discipline that claims to help people with autism and other developmental disorders learn new skills and behaviours , therefore making them more adaptable to society . Still , Myka doted on Huxley , adding : ' He is a great kid and his condition does n't involve that much overall care all you need is a big heart and practice patience every day ' . In a since-deleted comment posted on social media , Myka claimed that ' multiple scary things happened inside the home ' towards their ' biological children ' ( Pictured left : Myka Stauffer with Kova , Jaka , Radley and Huxley ; right : with two of her biological children Kova and Jaka ) In a YouTube video posted before the adoption , she told viewers ' my child is not returnable ' and they ' would love ' the youngster , ' no matter what state ' he came to them in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ words , when , in 2020 , nearly four years after adopting their son from China , the couple shockingly announced they had decided to ' rehome ' Huxley , then aged four - due to difficulties in meeting his special needs . The youngster - who has since been renamed - had been the star of many of their parenting and lifestyle videos , including his first Christmas , before suddenly disappearing from their posts . Fans started to question the child 's absence , and after months of wondering what happened , Myka and James shared a surprising family ' update ' on their YouTube channel . They said Huxley had been placed with a new ' forever family ' that was better equipped to take on his special needs . ' With international adoption , sometimes there are unknowns and things that are not transparent on files , ' said James . ' Once Huxley came home , there was a lot more special needs that we were n't aware of , and that we were not told ' . Myka added @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' forever family ' ; authorities later confirmed that the child was ' happy ' in his new home and already called his new mother ' momma ' . ' He 's thriving , he 's doing really well and his new mommy has medical , professional training , ' continued Myka . She stressed that they loved Huxley but acknowledged they were n't able to give him what he needed . The bombshell admission prompted swift and widespread backlash , with many critics accusing the parents of adopting the child as a stunt to secure more fame ' There 's not an ounce of our body that does n't love Huxley with all of our being , ' she said as her eyes welled up with tears . ' There was n't a minute that I did n't try our hardest and I think what James is trying to say is that after multiple assessments , after multiple evaluations , numerous medical professionals have felt that he needed a different fit for his medical needs . He needed more . ' Do I feel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ per cent ' she admitted before the couple ended their emotional video with a plea for fans to have ' grace ' with them during this difficult time . The bombshell admission prompted swift and widespread backlash , with many critics accusing the parents of adopting the child as a stunt to secure more fame . It also cost Myka - who had over 715,000 YouTube subscribers before the scandal saw her following drop by thousands - her partnership with Kate Hudson 's sportswear company Fabletics as well as partnerships with Playtex Baby , Barbie , and Suave . The stinging uproar was revisited in HBO docuseries , An Update on Our Family , which explored the couple 's fall from grace and included clips from Myka 's now-deleted YouTube videos , and dived into the family vlogging industry . The continuing controversy caused the Stauffers to retreat from the spotlight , but not before a series of comments on one final Instagram post . ' This decision has caused so many people heart break and I 'm sorry for letting down so many women @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Myka . She started off by saying she took ' full responsibility ' for ' all of the hurt ' her actions had caused . ' I 'm sorry for the confusion , and pain I have caused , and I am sorry for not being able to tell more of my story from the beginning ' she continued . She also slammed rumours she adopted Huxley ' to gain wealth ' and said they only received a ' small portion of money ' from the videos he featured in and that ' every penny and much more went back into his care ' . ' Getting Huxley the care and services he needed was very expensive and we made sure he got every service and resource we could possibly find ' . One of Myka 's last photos featuring her adopted son was posted on February 16 2020 , and in the caption , she opened up about how difficult it was to care for his special needs . ' We have hard days , lots of them . I wish autism and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all ' she wrote . In a since-deleted comment posted on social media , Myka went on to claim that ' multiple scary things happened inside the home ' towards their ' biological children ' , suggesting that this was one of the key reasons behind their decision to give up Huxley . ' We would never just give up a child with special needs , this is a personal matter to Hux it had nothing to do with he just had Autism ' she wrote . ' Multiple scary things happened inside the home towards our other children , and if these events happened with one of my biological kids , after all the help and after the behaviors we witnessed sadly we would have no other choice then to seek help and get their needs met ' . The mother went on to insist that rehoming Huxley was what was best for him and something he wanted . However at the time it seemed people questioned their motives and alluded to it in fact being best for the couple . The couple @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ People that Myka and James ' are very caring parents that would do anything for their children , ' but ' this was the best decision for Huxley ' .

Meanwhile Myka - who first set up her YouTube channel in 2014 - has since completely disappeared from the internet .

At the end of the video , presumably in a portion that she had intended to cut , she could be seen telling her son to pose for the camera as he wept . ' Act like you 're crying ' she told Christian after pulling him into her chest . ' I am crying ! ' he said repeatedly . ' I am actually , seriously sad ' . Once fans noticed the discrepancy they quickly called her out , leading to an upstream of criticism about her parenting and the effects the video would likely have on the innocent child . In 2021 Jordan accidentally posted an outtake of her coaching her then-nine-year-old crying son on how to pose for a video thumbnail In a now-deleted video , she could be heard telling Christian to ' act like you 're crying ' Amidst the social media storm , Jordan effectively @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her channel to focus on Christian 's ' health and wellbeing ' . ' Getting completely offline , cancelling all videos and monetisation , and prioritising my child are all I care about , ' she said in a statement . ' I 'm disgusted and horrified at what I did and there is absolutely no excuse . It 's terrible on so many levels . I love my child more than anything and will regret this moment forever ' . The video was quickly deleted , but not before it was reuploaded on a score of social media platforms . That same day , Cheyenne posted a follow-up titled ' I am immensely disappointed in myself ' attempting to explain and excuse her behavior . ' I wish I could show us at the vet crying and being so emotional with everything that happened . But then if I did that , you know what people will say ? " Why are you filming your son crying ? Why are you filming the emotional moment ? " ' . She said in the video @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ violent , cussing ' messages on Instagram . ' Me trying to get that thumbnail was just so wrong and such poor judgement of me , but that does n't condone bullying and harassment ' she said . In a later video , she said she would n't include Christian in her videos , and said she was in the process of removing previous videos where he was featured . ' I have made the decision that is 100 percent the healthiest for my child and his mental health to be off the camera ' she said . Fans were quick to call Jordan out , leading her to cancel herself and come off of of social media Jordan Cheyenne later reinvented herself as a fitness and lifestyle guru under a YouTube account of the same name According to the social analytics tool Social Blade , Cheyenne 's channel hemorrhaged 2,000 subscribers that week .

A YouTube channel under the name Jourdan Cheyenne which vlogs lifestyle and fitness videos is currently up and running with over 500,000 subscribers . Ten years ago Ruby 's YouTube account 8 Passengers was a household name ; there she documented family life in Utah with her husband Kevin and their six children , with the channel amassing around 2.5 million subscribers and over a billion views ( Pictured : Ruby and Kevin Franke before their divorce , and their six children ) Ruby was known for her tough love approach and as an avid loyalist of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Ten years ago Ruby Franke had one of the biggest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ family life in Utah with her husband Kevin and their six children , with the channel amassing around 2.5 million subscribers and over a billion views . The Franke family was known for its tough love approach and as avid loyalists of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints . To enhance her media empire Ruby , now 43 , joined hands with former Utah licensed counsellor and mother-of-two , Jodi Nan Hildebrandt , 55 , and the two became business partners . Together , the seemingly innocent duo launched a YouTube channel called ConneXions in 2022 and created a joint Instagram account called Moms of Truth which offered parenting classes . But soon , it appeared , the perfect image Ruby displayed to the world was nothing more than a duplicitous facade covering an array of sickening child abuse . In 2023 , one of Ruby 's children turned up at a neighbour 's home claiming he had just escaped from her pal Jodi 's home . The 12-year-old 's ankle and wrists were bound with duct tape and he begged @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a prolonged and sustained campaign of torture the so-called family vlogger had been inflicting on her own children .

A police officer asked if she was okay , but got no response as he tried to coax her out of the wardrobe . Over the course of the investigation , police discovered a cramped safe room in the basement of the home that was locked from the outside , rope that would be used to tie up the children , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his mother and Jodi would dress their wounds with honey and cayenne pepper , both of which were later found at the home . In 2024 court documents revealed that the mother-of-six commanded a house of horrors in which her children endured torture tactics such as starvation and working outdoors without adequate protection exposing them to severe sunburn . She would also tell her two youngest children they were ' evil and possessed ' and handcuffed her son 's wrist and ankles while holding his head underwater . Images also emerged of two of her youngest children emaciated with infected cuts on their legs , duct tape around their arms and feet and scratches and bruises on their bodies . In one case , Ruby punished her then six-year-old daughter for forgetting her school lunch at home by refusing to bring it to her .

Shari , now 21 , accused her mother of pulling her air and smacking her arms , and said she was not aware that her mother 's parenting was unusual until much later when she told other people outside of the household . At 15 , Shari started her own YouTube channel which she tried to establish by asking her mother for a shoutout ; but Ruby allegedly refused to help out her daughter until she 'd gained 100,000 followers . The mother-daughter relationship transformed into a business one , with Ruby paying her child to appear in social content and taking 10 per cent of Shari 's income for ' management fees ' . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' only came out during filming , so she would ask for things in front of the camera because the answer was more likely to work in her favour .

In December 2023 Ruby pleaded guilty to four counts of child abuse - she will serve a maximum of 30 years . Jodi Hildebrandt ( pictured right ) was handed the same sentence ' So if I ask for a shopping trip she 'll agree to pay for it as long as she can film it .

Even access to the kitchen for meals required her approval ' . Before long , Ruby , too , moved into Jodi 's room from the marital bedroom , ' so her friend did n't have to suffer through her demonic night terrors alone ' . Apparently , Jodi was experiencing incredibly detailed visions . In some , she saw Ruby walking on water alongside Jesus . In others , she envisioned herself riding a massive lion named Charles through the gates of Heaven ' . The pair spent an increasing amount of time ' hunkered down in their upstairs sanctuary ' . When they left the bedroom , it was often to take ' shopping trips ' to Mexico , returning with bags full of pills . One night , Shari said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see her mother emerging , disheveled , from the bedroom : ' her hair messy , cheeks flushed and her robe hastily tied ... a strange smile on her face ' . The disgraced ex-family vlogger will now serve up to 30 years in prison for brutally abusing two of her own children in what has been called a ' concentration camp-like setting ' . In December 2023 she pleaded guilty to four counts of child abuse . She later pleaded not guilty to two other counts . Ruby was sentenced to between one to 15 years in prison for each count - up to 60 years in total - at Utah 's 5th District Court . How much time she will spend in jail will be determined by the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole , and state law means she can only serve a maximum of 30 years . The mother broke down while speaking in court as she apologized to her ' little chicks ' and told the judge she was willing to serve her time . Jodi Hildebrandt was handed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sentences in Utah State Prison . |

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'tried to wriggle' is the V1, the implied subject is the agent attempting to avoid punishment, and 'being punished' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It induces a prevention interpretation, as the agent is attempting to avoid the consequence of being punished. The verb 'wriggle' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure metaphorically, which is one of the classifications for verbs in this construction. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It involves the phrase 'opt out of getting the payments', where 'opt out of' is a phrasal verb followed by a gerund, but there is no NP object between the verb and 'out of'. Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the construction.

More and more higher earners are choosing to reduce their take-home pay to avoid punitive tax rates , figures suggest . This is because when you earn more than ? 100,000 , you start to lose your ? 12,570 annual tax-free personal allowance , while parents also lose their entitlement to free childcare . In some cases , quirks in the system mean that a parent of two children who gets a pay rise will pay an effective tax rate of almost 600 per cent on earnings of between ? 100,000 and ? 102,000 , according to analysis by the investment platform AJ Bell . This is 13 times more than the 45 per cent top rate of income tax . HM Revenue & Customs data obtained by Times Radio shows that more workers are taking steps to avoid this tax trap . The number earning between ? 97,000 and ? 100,000 a year has increased @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 2022 . Average annual wage growth was 4 per cent a year between April 2019 and April 2022 , which suggests that someone earning ? 97,000 a year in 2019 would earn about ? 109,000 three years later . Those earning between ? 47,000 and ? 50,000 a year , just below the ? 50,270 threshold for the 40 per cent higher rate of income tax , increased almost 13 per cent from 793,000 to 893,000 over the same time . During this time parents who earned more than ? 50,000 a year also started to lose their child benefit entitlement ( which is now worth more than ? 2,200 a year for two children ) , although the threshold was raised to ? 60,000 in April last year . Myron Jobson from the wealth manager Interactive Investor , said that the bunching of salaries before the tax cliff edges shown in the figures was evidence of workers choosing to give up additional income . " Some , where possible , are opting for salary sacrifice schemes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your pension instead of increasing your taxable income , " he said . " This is n't the only way to contribute to a pension and reduce your taxable income , but it can have tax advantages for employers and be better for employee 's pensions . " Charlene Young from the investment platform AJ Bell said : " Those negotiating salary exchange ( aka sacrifice ) will know it 's a neat way of clawing back certain tax allowances and benefits while also boosting your retirement pot . At the top end , it could help you escape the most baffling of tax traps . " The " sacrifice " of salary means that a worker 's income will be lower , so they pay less in tax and national insurance contributions . It can also reduce the national insurance that employers pay on workers ' wages , but not on any money paid into their workplace pensions . The rate of employer national insurance contributions is rising in April , meaning that there will be more incentive for employers to offer salary sacrifice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ person taking advantage is Rick Kelsey , a radio broadcaster who lives near Alexandra Palace in London with his wife , Chantal , and their children , Albert , two , and Elizabeth , five . Kelsey has tried to keep his income below ? 100,000 by paying more into his pension and estimates that going above the threshold could mean losing out on ? 13,000 of child support this year . Rick Kelsey and his family RICK KELSEY He said : " I have called ? 100,000 a punishment threshold for income because for tens of thousands of normal working people , it becomes pointless to work . The argument that earning ? 100,000 means you can afford to pay more in childcare costs is a fair one ; however , a tax system that discourages work and tax creation is not . " You lose ? 1 of your tax-free personal allowance for every ? 2 you earn above ? 100,000 so by the time you earn ? 125,140 you lose the whole ? 12,570 . Those with a salary between ? 100,000 and ? 125,140 have an income tax rate of 40 per cent plus 2 per cent national insurance on income above ? 50,270 . When you take into account the loss of the personal allowance , their effective tax rate is 62 per cent on every extra ? 2 of adjusted net income earned above ? 100,000 . Parents with young children are even worse off . There are three payments that parents can get : tax-free childcare , free childcare hours and child benefit . While most working couples can claim all three , higher earners often get no help . Once one parent earns more than ? 100,000 a year in adjusted net income , families are no longer eligible for tax-free childcare . This is a government scheme that tops up every ? 8 paid in by ? 2 and can be used to pay for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ benefit is worth up to ? 2,000 a year per child . Higher-earning parents also ca n't use the 15 free hours a week of childcare funding for working parents that is available for children from nine months old during term time . They also only get 15 free hours for children aged three to four , instead of 30 . From September children from nine months old will get 30 hours a week in term time , instead of 15 , but those earning more than ? 100,000 will still get nothing .

They would lose ? 400 of their personal income allowance ; ? 4,000 of tax-free childcare ; ? 3,285 for the loss of 15 free childcare hours for the two-year-old and another ? 3,444 for the nine-month-old . The parent will also pay an extra ? 800 in income tax . So a ? 2,000 pay rise will cost them ? 11,940 -- a marginal tax rate of 597 per cent . Only about one in two employers offer salary sacrifice , but that may change after the increase in employer national insurance contributions in April . The amount you will save depends on how much salary you sacrifice and whether you are a basic , higher @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ year . You will pay 20 per cent income tax on the amount above the personal allowance of ? 12,570 -- so ? 6,486 tax . You will also pay ? 2,594 in national insurance , giving you net pay of about ? 35,920 . If you contributed 5 per cent of your income to a workplace pension ( the minimum under auto-enrolment ) , which is a sacrifice of ? 1,800 from your pay packet , you would get tax relief at your 20 per cent income tax rate , bringing your pension contribution to ? 2,250 . Your take-home pay ( after tax and pension contributions ) would be ? 34,120 , according to AJ Bell . Your employer , meanwhile , will pay your ? 45,000 salary plus employers ' national insurance of ? 6,000 ( at the higher rate of 15 per cent , which kicks in from April ) , taking its total bill to ? 51,000 .

Your employer meanwhile would pay lower national insurance of ? 5,625 on your ? 42,500 salary , which , added to the ? 2,500 that it paid directly into your pension , would mean a total employer bill of ? 50,625 -- a saving of ? 375 . Check with your employer to see if they offer salary sacrifice . Pension contributions made in this way should appear on your payslip , usually listed as a deduction under a section labelled salary sacrifice or similar .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'get out of' in a different context where 'being in a housing association' is the situation the speaker wants to avoid, not involving a causee or a prevention/movement interpretation as required by the transitive out of -ing construction.

KIAN Spence 's wondrous strike from distance lit up an otherwise drab affair and helped Barrow to a 3-0 win at home to Gillingham . Spence 's fine hit from distance on the hour mark was worthy of winning the game , but the midfielder also removed any lingering doubts late in the day when he pounced to turn in Ben Jackson 's ball across goal . To add insult to the Gills ' injury , Tyler Smith scored Barrow 's third deep into time added on . In the clash of 19th hosting 18th , both sides came into the game in poor form , and both were positioned uneasily above the relegation zone . The Bluebirds had chalked up just one win in their eight previous games , albeit that coming in new head coach Andy Whing 's first game just three games earlier , while Gillingham 's last victory came in mid-December . The returning Ben Whitfield was given @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Barrow boss made from the defeat at Newport . Whitfield almost had the perfect impact , providing a cross for Aaron Pressley but the striker could n't make the most of the chance , as his header sailed high and wide . Playing at a higher tempo than in recent outings , Barrow did create a terrific chance on a break at speed . Dean Campbell sent Spence down the right flank but , after he 'd skipped past Shad Ogie , he dragged his shot wide of the near post . Campbell saw the first yellow card of the game when he went down in the Gills ' box , referee Ross Joyce booking him for simulation . The visitors then attacked and Joe Gbode , in on goal , but with Sam Foley breathing down his neck , hit the deck . This time the official was similarly unimpressed but kept his card in his pocket . Spence had another opportunity just before the half-hour mark , running onto a lofted free kick that was flicked into his path but his fiercely-hit finish @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ off the upright . The latter stages of the half provided little to ignite the 3,130 attending . A combination of a broken , rutted pitch and two sides seemingly short on confidence made for a less-than thrilling spectacle and the half-time whistle was welcomed by everyone in the ground . The second half started in a similar vein with a succession of misplaced passes from both sides preventing anyone from building any momentum . The Bluebirds did , however , produce a neat attacking move that switched from right to left and ended with Ben Jackson shooting well wide . Barrow began to apply some pressure and Pressley forced Glenn Morris into a fine save , the Gills keeper tipping Pressley 's header over the bar at full stretch . Then , with an hour played , Spence struck . Paul Farman launched the ball towards Pressley and the striker rose highest to win the header . Out of nothing and at least 30 yards from goal , Spence fired a quite brilliant and unerring half-volley beyond the despairing grasp of Morris . Inspired @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his feet moments later and tried his luck from a similar range . This time Morris was able to get a firm hand on the shot and push it over the bar . But Morris ' , and Gillingham 's , resistance was broken five minutes from time with Spence 's second goal . Jackson provided the all-important assist , sending a low ball across goal that took out a number of defenders and allowed Spence a far simpler finish from 10 yards . Gillingham 's misery was completed by substitute Smith , who hit number three for the buoyant Bluebirds in the fifth minute of stoppage time .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a personal decision to visit shops for free samples, unrelated to the transitive out of -ing construction.

There 's one thing that all Brits have in common - moaning about the weather and wishing they were on holiday . So , in an attempt to relieve myself from the blues fiercely felt at the beginning of the year , I decided to break free from the bleakness of the UK for just a day . But , ultimately , I ended up somewhere more depressing - and that 's impressive to say the least . Where is that you ask ? Brussels - the capital of Belgium and the de facto home of the European Union . It 's a bit like going back to an ex so it should have been expected to have not gone well . ' Cheap and cheerful ' was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the Eurostar from London St Pancras . Though , it was little of the latter with Brussels , the city that many consider to be the ' most hated ' and ' most boring ' city of Europe - and I see why . Senior Features Writer Layla Nicholson takes on Brussels and she needed the beer to get through it ... ( Image : Layla Nicholson ) Graffiti plastered walls and decrepit buildings lined the track as the train pulled into Brussels-Midi Station . A sense of foreshadowing of what is to come ? It did n't take long for me to realise why there are so many scathing TikTok and Reddit posts about Brussels . The smell of wee instantly slaps you on exiting the station . There 's lots of homeless gathering around too . But beggars belief , the unwelcoming puddles of urine leaking from the walls were not to be fully blamed on those loitering outside . Commuting office workers are not exempt from a Brussels-Midi piddle , either . As I learnt myself when a bloke confidently stopped @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ front of me . Can you blame him when it costs ? 1 to take a civilised splash inside ? We 'll come back to peeing in a bit - there 's a lot of it in Brussels . But , it 's only midday and I 've only been here five minutes . ' Welcome to Brussels ' ... ( Image : Layla Nicholson ) Just a 20-minute walk into the city centre where all the touristy things are . Though , just seconds after my pilgrimage I 'm met with paramedics readying a trolley into the station . There 's a looming ominous feeling on what seemed like a simplistic straight line mapped by my phone . Everything just seemed so soulless , even the usually determined pigeon did n't have much get up and go about them . It lacked vibrancy which , yes , was n't helped by the grey skies nor the sprawl of construction zones dotted around the city . You 'd be easily mistaken that the rows of cranes that made for the Brussels skyline belonged to an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and parcel of the city . Brussels loves construction ( Image : Layla Nicholson ) How many cranes does one city want ? ( Image : Layla Nicholson ) While knowing that Brussels ' bleakness was in the process of being mass improved , it 's still devoid of personality . Usually cities have a saving grace , but not here - unless you 're an avid crane fan . But as a wise Englishman once said : " Let 's have a nice cold pint , and wait for all of this to blow over . " And , that I did . The Belgians are known for their beer ( and now construction sites apparently ) so what better way to attempt to inject some joy into my day trip with a solo booze tasting session . Just ? 10 ( ? 8.34 ) later and I 've got four beers sitting in front of me for company and wonder , ' do I look cultured or like an alcoholic ? ' The menu told me that I could choose four beers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they just bring out a random selection of cherry flavoured lambic beer , blonde ale , pilsner and a brown ale . A boozy pitstop was needed ( Image : Layla Nicholson ) To add an extra layer to the fun , the waitress hurried away before explaining what beers had been chosen for me . The now blind beer tasting kicked off with a side of cheese croquettes to act as a palette cleanser and another endeavour for my cultural Belgium pursuit . Brussels might not know how to do ' capital city ' but they sure know how to do deep fried bar food and beer -- even though I do n't know what I sipped on . Geared up on some Belgian courage it was time to venture away from the comfort of booze and little cheese balls to explore more of the city . I quickly realised that I should have got another round in . Cheese croquettes get a thumbs up from me ( Image : Layla Nicholson ) Saying that , the Royal Gallery of Saint Hubert was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ art exhibitions and Belgian chocolate lived within , which coming from the UK , it 's nice to see a row of high street shops not boarded up . Another shopping centre ' Passage Du Nord ' billed as a ' must see ' is most definitely deceiving . Look up and you 'll be dazzled by 17th century-style architecture , look down and it will be ruined by the harsh glow of green pharmacy sign , ' To Let ' signs and ' Pasta Hal ' - presumably a halal knock off of Pizza Hut . Momentary bliss over as it 's out of the shopping centre to turn the corner where I see , you guessed it , another zone under construction . Whoever said this was a ' must-see ' location in Brussels needs a trip to Specsavers ( Image : Layla Nicholson ) Even the start of busy shopping street Rue Neuve had builders drilling on it . Listening to the irritating clang of construction along with the sounds of street scammers attempting to flog goods to unbeknownst tourists is not the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Did I mention Brussels had little personality ? I quickly moved out of the area before it could have negatively shaped mine . After my way out of construction central , I ventured to the Grand Place - the plaza that proved to be the only plateable square in Brussels . It was time for some sweet relief in chocolate form and Brussels is certainly not short on that . In an attempt to avoid the inflated truffle prices , I made the decision to go in and out of neighbouring shops to try the free samples . By the time I covered all chocolate shops providing off-cuttings on a tray , I probably had about the equivalent of three truffles . I 'll take that as a win , thanks Brussels . Hard work done and I 've earnt myself an espresso . Sitting out in the square to look at the opulent architecture , decorated with golden edging , it seemed quite nice in this little bubble . Watching the world go by , and by that I mean tourists struggling with selfie sticks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't seem to bad without a crane or pee puddle in sight . Even the barman charged my phone that had been sucked dry after all my incriminating Brussels-bashing evidence now stored in it . Though , even a friendly face could n't redeem the city for me . Before making my way back to Brussels-Midi , it was time to head into one of the souvenir shops to get a memoir of my trip even though I was n't so sure that I even wanted to remember it at all . Fridge magnet secured but I 'm taken a back by the rows of souvenirs depicting what looks like a little boy urinating , with his wee replaced by a corkscrew . Of course , Brussels most well known statue ' Manneken Pis ' . Perhaps the penchant to pee is a nod to the city 's favourite effigy ? Either way , this capital city always leads back to weeing . The tribute to peeing never ends ( Image : Layla Nicholson ) And after a 20 minute walk through what should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I 'm greeted by the smell of wee and security following homeless people in the Brussels-Midi Station . It 's almost comforting knowing what to expect and what is expected is my train back home . Six hours later and I relish knowing that my ordeal will end soon . So , will I go back to Brussels anytime soon ? Short answer is no . The Brussels-bashing has to stop somewhere so I 'll give you this . What Brussels did was give me a fairly cheap day out , another magnet to stick on my fridge and a newfound sense of appreciation of the UK . Not because our nation is so great , but it 's quite simply less terrible than Brussels . Story Saved You can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('pricing fans out of attending matches'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the action of pricing could prevent fans from attending matches. The verb 'pricing' can be classified under 'By means of exerting force or pressure', and the NP object 'fans' functions as a causee who participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'attending matches'.

Newcastle United chiefs had to make some big transfer decisions over the last few weeks , with two players sold without any incoming deals . The hope is that the club is in a strong position to invest in the summer window without encroaching on PSR or FFP rules , but Eddie Howe will have to manage without Miguel Almiron and Lloyd Kelly following their exits . Qualifying for the Champions League remains a big priority too , with fifth place looking likely to be enough for a spot at Europe 's top table next season . European football is a key part of their future plans , especially when it comes to enticing players to move to Tyneside , but the Champions League remains the golden ticket . Off the pitch , there plenty of big decisions to be made in the coming months . The closing of the transfer window means one less immediate consideration - for now at least - but there remains some pressing issues which must be decided in the coming weeks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ eight players whose contracts are up at the end of the current season - five of which have a big role to play in the first-team squad . Back-up goalkeepers John Ruddy and Mark Gillespie see their deals expire , while Jamal Lewis ' time at Newcastle is likely to come to an end soon . However , that leaves Callum Wilson , Martin Dubravka , Fabian Schar , Emil Krafth and Jamaal Lascelles with new deals to sort - or otherwise . Wilson 's quality is clear , but the No 9 has suffered terrible luck with injuries throughout his time on Tyneside , and particularly in the last two season . United need someone they can rely on to provide back-up for Alexander Isak , but finding a replacement of Wilson 's quality may be tough , even with the striker turning 33 later this month . Newcastle have been strongly linked with moves for a new centre-back , which raises questions over Schar , Lascelles and Krafth 's future . Howe will not want to lose all three - if any - but with Sven @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any new addition would push the trio further down the pecking order . Krafth has the advantage of being able to play in several positions , while Schar has been superb in recent seasons . Similarly with Dubravka , United held off bids from Saudi Arabia last month , with the keeper at one stage looking destined to leave . He has kept his place ahead of Nick Pope now the England keeper is fit again , but any new signing would make first-team football even harder to find . It 's the big talking point when it comes to off-the-field matters and one for which we should soon have an answer . Newcastle simply have to get this one right , but there are so many conflicting opinions that there is bound to be controversy no matter what the outcome . Talk of a new ? 1.2bn stadium has grown this week , while there are several options to expand St James ' . An announcement is expected by spring - and it 's going to be huge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's contract Nothing will send a message out to interested parties quite as loudly as the Swede signing a new contract with United . Of course it does n't mean offers wo n't come in , but it would be a clear indication from both club and player over future intentions . Isak is one of the most in-form players in Europe and there will be transfer speculation again in the summer . A new contract will go a long way to cutting those conversations short . It 's a question no one really wants to address , but if Newcastle want to quickly build their squad , then they may have to sell one of the star players for a significant fee . So far , they have looked to largely keep the squad intact , opting not to spend in order to avoid PSR issues and - hopefully - paving the way for summer investment . However , what United could spend would hugely change should they accept a significant bid for one of their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but it needs to be a consideration , and a firm decision must be taken at the very top . It 's always a bone of contention with fans , but Newcastle have largely kept their ticket prices affordable , particularly compared with many of their Premier League rivals . There is always pressure from fan groups to reduce prices across football , with UK tickets often considerably move expensive than in Europe . This one is tied in with stadium development , of course , as United need to increase revenue streams - more seats could mean more corporate or premium tickets for sale , while not pricing fans out of attending matches . It 's not easy to put an exact figure over what Newcastle will be able to spend in the summer , without breaking PSR regulations . There are too many moving parts to be able to say definitively what any maximum spend would be , and the club would n't want their rivals knowing their budgets in any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have a clear picture on the parameters in order to avoid the ' panic ' of last June , when Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh were sold . Unfortunately , United will have to find a new CEO after Darren Eales revealed last year that he would have to step down after being diagnosed with a chronic form of blood cancer . Eales has continued to fulfil the role , but the club know that a decision will soon need to be taken on who will take over the position when he steps away to concentrate on treatment and his recovery . We wish him well . Even if , as expected , United are able to spend in the summer , it 's unlikely that they will bring in a huge number of players . Quality over quantity will be the strategy , and that will be mean prioritising positions to strengthen . Four roles have stood out in recent windows and are set to dominate again - goalkeeper , centre-back , right wing and striker . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ windows now , with Burnley 's James Trafford a player the scouting network have watched closely . There is also the need to identify a striker who can play as a back-up , or alongside , Alexander Isak , particularly if Callum Wilson moves on . Newcastle have high hopes for Will Osula , but a player who can compete at first-team level could be a big target in the coming months . In defence , last summer 's pursuit of Marc Guehi could resurface with the Crystal Palace defender expected to move on next summer . Spurs and Chelsea remain interested , but United 's hat is likely to be in the ring . Several other central defensive players have been linked with Newcastle , with Howe looking for a long-term partner for Sven Botman . Jacob Murphy 's form has changed the conversation somewhat when it comes to the right-side of the forward line , but United remain keen on the likes Bryan Mbeumo , Antoine Semenyo and Tyler Dibling .

An impressive claim to fame believed to be bestowed upon Trev Woodison is being one of only five remaining traditional pub pianists in the country and the youngest - but it 's not accolades he is proud to uphold . Trev , aka Trev the Pianoman , fears that unless more people follow in his steps , the much-loved art form will evaporate into history , but becoming one is no easy feat . Incredibly , the 60-year-old has committed more than 4,000 songs to memory because of the huge diverse range of requests made by pub punters . His extensive repertoire of songs covers every genre of music and unlike other musicians who perform gigs , Trev never turns up with a set list because he is completely in the hands of the audience he plays in front of . The only thing that is guaranteed is he will start his set with playing I 'm Forever Blowing Bubbles - due to him being a West Ham fan - and end with Land of Hope and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a three-hour set , and Trev has learned to always expect the unexpected . He said : " That 's the fun and exciting element of it . It 's a wonderful art form and is a tradition that is over 160 years old , but it 's on the brink of extinction and it 's something we really do n't want to lose . Other than beer , it 's probably the longest tradition pubs have . " There are so few genuine pub pianists left in the country . We have a unique style in which we play and our role is extremely rare . " I believe I am the youngest player left . The next youngest is 72 . The others doing it are in their 70s and 80s . I 'm fighting to try and keep the tradition alive . I do n't want to be known as the last pub pianist if I am still around in 20 years time . " We need younger people to take it up but there 's a lot of work involved in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ good a player you are or your competence but by your memory of songs instead . " You need a repertoire of 1,000 songs which takes between two to three years . It 's a similar commitment to being a London cab driver and learning all the knowledge they have . Traditional pub pianist Trev Woodison ( Image : Submitted ) " Before Covid , mine was up to 3,000 and then as I was laid off I got up to around 4,300 songs . To also be a pub pianist , you need a minimum piano grade of seven or eight . " Trev lives in the small village of Zeal Monachorum in Mid Devon which he describes as being ' remarkably central ' for travelling to gigs both locally and far and wide . As well as performing at pubs , Trev is also a regular at care homes , particularly those who have residents with Alzheimer 's , as it is therapeutic for them . Trev is a regular at The Bicton Inn in Exmouth which has a Broadwood concert grand piano @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dream ' , as does a 1920s piano at the Torridge Inn in Torrington . He also plays at the Cadeleigh Arms near Tiverton on a piano he says had not been played for decades and has now been re-tuned . A piano was also discovered in The Bootlegger in Exeter where gigs are performed as well . Another venue frequented by Trev is the Poltimore Arms in Yarde Down where ' the grumpiest landlord ' in the country lives , aka Steve Cotton . He has been in the media numerous times and has three pianos . Describing the typical reaction he gets when he arrives to play at a pub , Trev said : " People in their 20s and 30s , and even in their 40s , have never seen or understood the concept of a pub piano . When I turn up , people are surprised by the lack of equipment I have , especially if the pub has a piano . I just have a bag with a tuning hammer in , and some cards and posters which I put up in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ' who is this guy ? ' , and then we realise it is just me on the piano , they do n't think it 's going to be a great night . I play a few old pub songs and then they might ask if I know any Status Quo , Black Sabbath , Queen or Abba and before long people are headbanging and the whole pub is singing along . " The pub is happy because they sell more drinks as people are more thirsty from singing ! It 's wonderful to see that initial hostility when I turn up to getting everyone in full spirits . It 's one of the greatest parts of the job , along with bringing the pub piano alive again . " Some pubs are reluctant to book a pub pianist because they think it 's an old worldly thing and they do n't think their customers will like it but those who do are often very surprised by the results , especially in a wet-led pub . " In the late ' 70s , Trev says there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pubs there he onced performed in , he says around 80 per cent are now closed . He said : " Virtually every pub had a piano in use every day . There was more than enough work for pub pianists but over the years it has dwindled . One of the things that really hit it was when karaoke machines were introduced into pubs in the ' 80s . " Then another big hit was the coronavirus pandemic . A lot of the players were elderly so have not come back and pubs have been slow to make bookings . " The advantage I have is I am a lot cheaper than bands or even DJs who just play records and can charge hundreds of pounds . " Quite a few pubs still have an old piano sat in the corner . Some are in a bad way and are not playable , but others are still very good . The pubs Trev performs on are mostly traditional rather than gastro pubs . While many no longer have pianos , Trev can either bring @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one which is n't as costly as you might imagine . He explained : " You can find pianos for free to a good home on Facebook Marketplace . In recent months , sports bar Shooters in Dawlish acquired one from Newton Abbot for free .

The Country House Inn in Exmouth also got one for free from Budleigh Salterton so it saved it going to landfill . " They were both perfectly good pianos and it would have been criminal for them to have been destroyed after all the workmanship involved in creating them . " Traditional pub pianist Trev Woodison ( Image : Submitted ) Trev , who was raised by a working class family in Newham , London , started learning to play the piano when he was seven years old after famous British pianist Winifred Atwell became his idol after listening to her on his grandad 's 78rpm records @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ train driver to being a pianist and luckily received free lessons .

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

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'get' is used transitively with 'a buzz' as its object, and 'out of being on the same pitch...' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the source of the buzz, which is not the intended meaning of the transitive out of -ing construction.

COMING up against Harry Kane , the striker he idolised when he was an aspiring professional who dreamed of playing at the highest level for both club and country , has always been a huge thrill for Adam Idah . The Celtic forward readily admits he will get a buzz out of being on the same pitch as the Bayern Munich talisman once again in the first leg of the Champions League knockout round play-off double header at a packed Parkhead tomorrow evening . Yet , the Republic of Ireland internationalist , who has plundered four goals in his last three games to take his tally for the 2024/25 campaign to 12 , will not be interested in getting an autograph off or selfie taken with the legendary England captain this week . Idah has a Spurs shirt with Kane 's name on the back of it hanging in his wardrobe already . He is far more concerned with helping the Scottish champions to record a result against their highly-fancied German counterparts which gives them a chance of progressing to the last 16 . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said . " I 've played against him loads of times before , when Norwich played Tottenham and when Ireland played England , and watching him live is unbelievable . " I have his top - I got Matt Doherty ( his national team mate ) to get that for me - so that 's a big one to have in the closet . " I think as he 's got older , he 's probably played a different sort of role to what I would play , but even at that , he 's still a world-class striker . He 's someone that I look up to . I did when I was younger and he was at Tottenham . What he 's doing for Bayern Munich now is unbelievable , so it 'll be great to play against him and see what he 's like . " ( Image : Zac Goodwin ) Idah continued : " I think he 's got a bit of everything , and a lot of people probably say he looks slow in the eye and he does n't run @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " When I 've played against him , he can pretty much do everything , and we 've seen recently he 's the type of striker now that 's dropping in deep and he 's scoring goals from anywhere . So , yeah , he 's a versatile striker , he 's obviously world-class , he 's unbelievable and I 'm looking forward to playing against him . " However , the 6ft 3in 23-year-old , who ended a 14 match scoring drought with a brace in the Champions League league phase match against Aston Villa in Birmingham at the end of last month , will by no means be overawed by Kane or the star-studded visitors . The ? 8.5m summer signing , who will lead the Celtic front line against Bayern following the departure of Kyogo Furuhashi to Rennes in the January transfer window , sees no reason why the hosts ca n't compete with their illustrious rivals over the two legs if they perform at their very best . Idah dismissed suggestions the pressure is off his side because nobody expects them to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have already achieved their objective by progressing to the next stage of the competition . " This is why you want to be at a club like Celtic , these games , these ties , that everyone wants to play in , " he said . " They are big , big games . Bayern Munich are one of the best teams in the world so it 's exciting for everyone . " To be honest , whatever team we got it was n't going to be easy when we got this far . But , like I said , we 're all excited , these are the games we want to play in . Hopefully we can get results and do our bit . Our aim is to try and do the best we can and try to get results in both stadiums . " I do n't think the pressure 's off because we 're in the knockout stages of football now . I do n't think anyone in the changing room or in this building thinks that we 're going to lose the game @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , we want to go out there and prove to people why we 're so good and why we 're still this far in the competition . " Idah has shown he has the mentality needed to compete against the cream of the continent in recent weeks by putting his slump in form firmly behind him and strongly suggesting that he can fill the massive void which Furuhashi has left up front . " It 's probably something I learned when I was at Norwich , " he said . " I used to get on top of myself a lot and look at what other people were saying quite a bit . I think the older I 've got , the more games I 've played and the more players I 've played with , I 've realised there 's always ups and downs in football . ( Image : Craig Williamson - SNS Group ) " You can get a real high and the next week you 're at the bottom again . So I think you do have to keep quite level-headed and that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It ( going 14 games without netting ) did n't affect me at all . That 's what I 'm saying . A lot of people thought my confidence was gone or I was upset that I was n't starting the games or I was n't playing many minutes . " It was n't the case , it was just that I was n't scoring . But that 's going to happen probably many times in my career . It 's just a case of working hard and doing my bit on the pitch and if that goal does come , hopefully I can continue that going forward . It 's just getting that bit of luck for a striker and working hard . " Idah added : " People have seen what I can do in the big games . I 'm not being arrogant , but I 'm confident enough that I can add another level to this team . " I know probably people have n't seen that of me yet but I believe in myself and I know the staff and the players @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ confident in myself and hopefully I can produce that in the next couple of games .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'get out of going to school' involves an intransitive verb 'get' with no NP object, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes a process of preparing udon noodles, where 'dredged out of boiling water' is part of a descriptive phrase about the noodles' preparation, not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction. There is no causer or causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The Romans founded Londinium in 47AD , on the north bank of the Thames . It was around where London Bridge now stands , then the lowest point of the river and narrow enough to bridge . Alas , when they hightailed it back to Rome 350 years later , an Italian love of eating out was not part of their lasting legacy ( gratias for the roads and baths , though ) . Over the following centuries , the crowded square mile that corresponded to Roman Londinium established itself as Europe 's financial powerhouse . As the capital 's social life shifted westwards following the Great Fire of 1666 , so the City of London became synonymous with work , not play . Still , that 's not to say that there is no culinary history here . London 's first coffee houses , the 17th-century dens of intrigue that were the Restoration equivalent of Twitter , opened on St Michael 's Alley off Cornhill in 1652 , while Sweetings ( est. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( and touristy ) West End heritage restaurants such as Rules and Wiltons . And yet the 2023 closure of Simpson 's Tavern -- a chophouse founded in 1747 , frequented by Charles Dickens and still fighting redevelopment two years on -- proves how fragile this ever-changing corner of London is to financial pressures . On a more positive note , the dining scene of the Square Mile has changed beyond recognition over the past 25 years , from power-lunch venues par excellence to bars and restaurants worth hanging around after work for -- though given that the City has the country 's highest-earning employees , bargains are hard to find . While the likes of Le Dame de Pic and Jos ? Pizarro Broadgate have since closed , new shoots -- Gordon Ramsay 's multi-restaurant 22 Bishopsgate development included -- promise much : indeed the City is far from dead . Press handout This South American-themed meat specialist operates five restaurants between Birmingham and Edinburgh and has opened its first London outpost in vast premises in the City , where acres of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ corporate surrounds . From the exhaustive menu , take the cue from the skewer-wielding passadors and order the house speciality of rodizio , an avalanche of 12 grilled meats carved at the table for a flat price ( ? 49.90 at lunch , ? 65 at dinner ) that includes cold platters and tapas . Non-meat options include beetroot tortellini and there 's an ? la carte menu for smaller appetites -- but given that the bottomless " market table " is basically an all-you-can-eat salad buffet , this is not the place for anyone on Ozempic . It sounds horribly naff -- and with a South American wine and cocktail list , Fazenda is tailor-made for City boys and girls out on the after-work razz -- but the quality and cooking of the meat is top-notch . Daniel Hambury/Stella Pictures Ltd An under-the-radar gem worth knowing about , Origin City is a restaurant proper from the owners of 56 West Smithfield wine bar nearby and a real labour of love . All the meat ( butchered in house ) comes from the family 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ breeds such as Black Aberdeen Angus , Tamworth outdoor-reared pigs and Texel lamb to the fore ; all of the seafood comes from their aquafarm , Loch Fyne Oyster , and much of the wine list is sourced from their organic vineyard , Ch ? teau de la C ? mbe , in Provence . The pasture-to-plate , nose-to-tail menu from former Rules chef Graham Noonan-Chatham includes charred slices of fine Morteau sausage on rich brown lentils cut with mustard , pork loin tonnato with properly sour anchovies , and steak cooked over the flames of the grill in an open kitchen . Ca n't stand the heat ? There is a small terrace for a glass of Proven ? al ros ? or a dram of Scotch whisky . Daniel Hambury/Stella Pictures Ltd If you could n't already tell , steakhouses do well in the City . There 's a certain amount of chest-thumping that goes on at Ibai , the restaurant specialising in Galician beef . The restaurant was co-founded by Lurra/Donostia ( Marylebone ) alumni and it shows : that Galician blond beef @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The " croque Ibai " with prawn and boudin noir gets plaudits too ; at ? 20 this could be one of London 's most expensive snacks . But if price is really a problem , then eat elsewhere , as even a conservative lunch will come in at more than ? 100 a head ( with drinks and service ) . But who wants restraint ? Go all out with 1kg of blond beef , the grilled turbot chop and a bottle of Saint- ? milion . End with g ? teau Basque for one of the best meals in the city , not just the City of London . Perhaps the seminal City restaurant , Coq d'Argent kickstarted the contemporary Square Mile dining scene in 1998 under the aegis of Sir Terence Conran . It is most famous for its rooftop setting on the seventh floor of Number One Poultry , a postmodern ship 's prow ( now Grade II-listed ) pointing towards the Royal Exchange and the Bank of England , and there are fabulous views of the City skyline from the restaurant 's oasis-like garden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wow factor , though it 's as well-upholstered as the interiors of the luxury motors likely driven by a clientele who can afford ? 45 for a main course ( or who have the corporate expense account to pay for it ) . The menu of well-executed French classics has nothing to scare les chevaux . Main courses of pan-fried skate wing with Grenobloise sauce or beef Rossini with sauce P ? rigueux are bookended with half a dozen snails and tarte au citron ; seal the deal with 30g of oscietra caviar . Press handout It might lack the celebrity clientele of Gymkhana and the Marylebone sophistication of Trishna , but this JKS Square Mile outpost is precision-tuned to City boys with pool tables , a whisky vending machine and 10 big-screen TVs beaming out live sport . City girls are thinner on the ground but even if you do n't have T.M. Lewin saved in your safe senders ' list , there 's plenty to enjoy here , from the infectiously upbeat Monday-is-the-new-Friday afterwork atmosphere to some terrifically enjoyable Indian barbecue cooking , light @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ belly vindaloo samosas , chilli paneer lettuce cups , beef shin and bone-marrow biryani . Red-leather booth seating is tailormade for groups but there are glossy lacquered tables for couples , too . No time for dinner ? Have a couple of cocktails and some butter chicken wings at the bar before toddling off to Bank tube . M Clayton Angler 's executive head chef Gary Foulkes used to work at Mayfair 's much-missed The Square , where he was clearly an attentive student of how to serve up a Michelin-starred power lunch . Here at his own starred gaff within D&D London 's South Place Hotel he does n't miss a beat on a seafood-focused tasting menu ( ? 155 ) that majors in seasonal fish plucked from British waters : sea bass tartare , hand-picked Devon crab , roast Newlyn cod and " Phil Howard 's langoustine dish " , a homage to Foulkes ' old boss at The Square , involving the sweetest shellfish complemented by parmesan gnocchi , truffle pur ? e and potato and truffle emulsion .

Remember to set your out-of-office when you make the booking . Press handout There 's no shortage of skyscraping restaurants in the City , from Sushisamba and Duck and Waffle in the Heron Tower ( lovely views but with a bit of a bridge and tunnel reputation ) , to the Searcy 's venue at the summit of the Gherkin , a favourite filming location for The Apprentice . But Lord Sugar himself would be more likely to eat with his fellow CEOs in the horseshoe-shaped booths at this Michelin-starred Square Mile outpost of chef Jason Atherton 's Social empire , halfway up the former NatWest Tower . Human-scale views -- as in one can actually see the humans on the pavements below -- are a refreshing change to other high-rise diners , so too the clever modern British cooking . Devon crab with nashi pear and a foam of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and truffle pithivier of Highland venison , though it 's not all so intricate : there 's also a quartet of Josper-grilled steaks with triple-cooked chips , salad and sauce . Eating on personal not professional expenses ? Try the three-course lunch menu ( ? 85 ) : Cheddar and onion tart , pork cutlet , sticky toffee pud . Jemma Watts Photography They do n't make them like this anymore , for which committed modernists may breathe a sigh of relief . Sweetings first opened its doors in 1889 and somehow has managed to escape wartime bombing and post-war redevelopment , displaying the insouciance of the true survivor by spectacularly failing to move with the times . It is only open at lunchtimes , never at the weekend and the seafood-centric menu -- or " bill of fare " -- is an ode to the days when Britannia ruled the waves and Empire builders were fed a diet of simple English sustenance . Starters here favour shellfish . Crab comes as a cocktail , bisque or dressed , oysters are on the shell and potted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or Cornish brill , fillet of haddock or sea bass , cod steaks with parsley sauce or skate wing with black butter sauce . Arguably , though , Sweetings is at its best for comfort-food classics that offer a glorious respite from a bad day at the office : lobster Thermidor with a good kick of mustard , fish pie under a blanket of mashed potato , plus pints of Black Velvet : Guinness topped with Champagne . Prices , while not exactly Victorian , are surprisingly reasonable for a slice of history this delicious . 39 Queen Victoria Street , EC4N 4SF , 020 7248 3062 Ola O Smit The original Koya in Soho introduced Londoners to udon noodles how they should be -- dredged out of boiling water in a net in the open kitchen and poured as slithery as a fish into bowls of broth to act as textural contrast to meat and veggie protein .

Gino D'Acampo is the latest TV star to find himself in a storm of controversy amid allegations of " inappropriate behaviour " that have been made against him . The celebrity chef , 48 , has been accused of " sexually inappropriate behaviour " over a timespan of more than 12 years . An ITV news investigation reported that dozens of people claimed D'Acampo had made inappropriate comments , caused discomfort , and uttered sexually suggestive remarks while working with them , with Gino vehemently denying all of these claims . The father-of-three , who has been married to his wife Jessica Stellina Morrison since 2002 , suffered a huge blow when his ITV shows were all pulled from the TV schedule amid the allegations against him . Gino D'Acampo and his wife Jessica ( Image : Getty ) However , this would not be the first time that the Family Fortunes host has found himself in a controversial position in the public eye . In fact , when Gino first rose to fame @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time behind bars for raiding a popstar 's home . Yet , he managed to rise to fame off the back off this serious crime and became a household name thanks to his growing relationship with ITV who offered him numerous opportunities to grow his career as a TV chef . But who was Gino before he made a name for himself and how did he become so successful after his time in jail ? Here 's everything we know about the TV chef 's past .. The celebrity chef , born Gennaro Sheffield D'Acampo , is originally from Naples where he grew up on a farm in Torre del Greco . Inspired by his talented grandfather , who was a head chef in Italy , Gino also fell in love with cooking and entered the Luigi de Medici Catering College at just 13-years-old . Gino made the move to Britain in 1995 when he was 18 , working first at The Orchard Restaurant in London 's Hampstead and later at the Cambio Restaurant in Guildford . Just three @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ himself behind bars when he was convicted of burgling singer Paul Young 's home in 1998 . Then 22 , Gino was sentenced to a two year prison term of which he served 10 months . Gino robbed Paul Young 's home in 1998 and was sentenced to prison ( Image : ITV ) The now 48-year-old stole various expensive items from Paul 's London home including a ? 4,000 guitar and a platinum disc as well as some irreplaceable recordings of Paul 's wife Stacey which have never been recovered or returned . It was during his time in prison that the ITV chef decided he had to change his life . Gino has been very open about his past conviction , previously telling What 's On TV : " I did n't use my best judgement and made a serious mistake . It was a dreadful experience , but in life I 've learned to make good come out of everything . " I thought , ' This is not going to drag me down , this is going to make me a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out that Gino 's stint in prison is actually what led to his rise to fame as a TV chef . The dad-of-three continued : " So I came out of prison a man with a plan , determined to set up a business importing Italian ingredients . And once again saw how great this country is because everything allowed me to make my fresh start . " People said , " You made a mistake -- we all do , show me what you 're capable of and move on . " I got the business up and running and then TV came calling and I was offered guest spots on Great Food Live , Saturday Cooks , This Morning ... you name it . " Paul had previously accepted an apology from Gino telling the Evening Standard in 2011 : " I do n't hold it against him . He said it was bad and he apologised , and I did get most of the stuff back . " Maybe he needed his wrist slapping and he got that . He said he was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ around . " Although Gino and Paul have since put their differences aside , the singer 's wife Stacey died in 2018 with Paul saying it resurfaced pain about the recordings of Stacey he never got back . After he was released from prison , Gino 's co-owned business Bonta Italia , which imported Italian produce to restaurants , supermarkets and manufacturers in the UK , became quite the success .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'weasel out of being caught' lacks an NP object between the verb 'weasel' and 'out of being caught', and it does not clearly convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to describe avoiding a situation rather than causing or preventing an action.

With the Daredevil revival edging ever closer , I decided to rewatch season 3 of the best-ever Marvel TV series . While a bit slow to start , season 3 of Daredevil saw Matt hit his lowest point yet , as he struggled with his faith and alter-ego . Meanwhile , the Kingpin rose ( quite literally , in that swanky penthouse of his ) to full power . He manipulated the FBI , a grand jury and more into doing his bidding . I had some some initial concerns about how Born Again would go down , considering the lighter-hearted takes on the characters in Hawkeye and She-Hulk , but the new teasers and information have settled those worries a bit . The first footage promises brutal violence , as does the shocking 18+ rating . Only season 2 of Daredevil , season 1 of Iron Fist and both seasons of The Punisher have been given this in Marvel TV history . However , the MCU has been slightly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ revisiting the ending of Daredevil , I 've identified one key plot point that needs more explanation . If it 's not addressed , I do n't see how this MCU series will match the attention to detail of the Netflix original . Spoilers for Daredevil season 3 and Echo below , along with plot rumours for Daredevil : Born Again Marvel 2024 / Giovanni Rufino I 'll be the first to admit that it 's always brilliant to see Wilson Fisk 's wit in play . While yes , we all enjoy watching this absolute unit smash someone 's head into a car door , he shines even more with his calculated chess moves that are often many steps ahead of Matt Murdock , Foggy Nelson and Karen Page . The trailer for the new Disney+ show , Daredevil : Born Again , reveals he 's used those smarts to get into an incredibly lucrative position as the mayor of New York City , reflecting a popular arc from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where he was when Daredevil concluded back in 2018 . Marvel 2024 / Giovanni Rufino While Fisk managed to corrupt some of the highest-ranking officials in the FBI , his public image was by no means polished . Many scenes depicted widespread public protests against him . It seemed like the tide was starting to turn in his favour during episode 11 , when he gave a speech after being cleared of charges ( with some of his ' influence ' , of course ) , blaming deaths in the city on Daredevil -- murders he 'd secretly orchestrated by using Ben Poindexter , AKA Bullseye , dressed in a perfect imitation of the vigilante 's suit . That all came crashing down thanks to the recorded video confession of the late Special Agent Ray Nadeem , who blew the lid on Fisk 's plans , naming everyone involved and detailing his involvement as a key accomplice . After a killer three-way fight between Daredevil , Kingpin and Bullseye , Matt ended victorious . In the end , he could n't bring himself to kill @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to prison -- and ultimately , far away from the love of his life , Vanessa . His arrest appeared to be highly publicised , dragging his name back through the mud and effectively clearing Daredevil of all wrongdoing . So , how does someone come back from that , and more importantly , why has Matt sat idly by to let this happen ? If the previous MCU properties that the Daredevil villain appears in are considered canon , then we at least know the beginning of Wilson 's comeback era ... but it 's unclear how much of a role these plot beats will play . An interview with executive producer Richie Palmer for Polygon seems to indicate that Echo , at least , is relevant , but another article with showrunner Dario Scardapane for SFX confirms that the show has ignored " some stuff " from the wider universe . In both Hawkeye and Echo , Fisk is essentially operating underground , with street-level gangs and criminals . He is n't surrounded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the mayoral position at the end of Echo , with news commentators claiming that the city wants a " bare-knuckle brawler " . But how can the citizens have forgotten the damage and murders Fisk previously oversaw ? And how did he get out of prison , again ? That feat took a complex plan in Daredevil season 3 . Marvel Studios One possible explanation is the effects of the Blip . Thanos ' wiping out of half the universe 's population would overshadow any other events in the superhero world , and it may also have created chaos in the prisons when it occurred . Echo shows a flashback with Maya Lopez , who is recruited by Wilson after Ronin killed her father . That implies that Fisk survived the snap , as did Matt , as he also appeared briefly in a fight scene -- though Charlie Cox was cagey about this fact when questioned by a fan . If Fisk was n't dusted , then that could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ allow for an easy escape . It would also be the perfect chance to reinvent his image , with the city running into chaos after everyone who was dusted snaps back -- but he 'd still need a strong PR campaign to make his promises believable . Screen Rant points out that New York does allow previously convicted felons to run for office , so it 's not impossible . Obviously , this is also something we 've seen play out in real life on a much larger scale with the current President of the United States . But I want to see this process via detailed flashbacks , not just referenced in a throwaway line of dialogue . Fisk is such a compelling villain because he seems to make the odds turn in his favour , even when his position appears completely impossible . Just when Matt thinks that there 's no way he can weasel out of being caught , he reveals his hand and what he 's been planning all along . It 'd be a disservice to ignore this complex ladder climb . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ story of the new villain Muse , I do n't want the Kingpin to be demoted in the process . Scardapane 's comments to GamesRadar about there being " more fun in the moments with these characters and a lot less navel-gazing " has set off some alarm bells . Matt went to extreme lengths to stop Fisk once and for all in the final episodes of Daredevil . He even wrestled with the idea of killing him , so much so that this mission almost took away his sense of self . Only after some convincing from best friend Foggy did he find another way to expose the criminal mastermind . It 's hard to believe that Daredevil would let the Kingpin make any sort of political claim to the city , and yet , he 's discussing it very calmly with him in a diner during the trailer . I 'd like to hope that this footage is slightly misleading -- that 's it 's either a flashforward , or later in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to see these plot beats play out . We know that Matt hangs up his mask for some reason , but even then , he could find other ways to stop Fisk . Perhaps legally , via the Nelson , Murdock and Page firm . Marvel 2024 / Giovanni Rufino Realistically , a death close to Matt could be the catalyst . There 's speculation that Foggy ( or Karen , though this is less likely ) may die in Daredevil : Born Again . That could turn Matt 's world upside down , and in his grief , he may lose the drive he had to stop Fisk at any cost . Thankfully , we do n't have to wait long to find out .

Vincent Ho : spent the night in intensive care after a fall on SundayCredit : John Grossick ( racingpost.com/photos ) Vincent Ho spent the night in intensive care after sustaining a head injury and minor fractures to his shoulder and neck following a fall at Sha Tin on Sunday . The leading jockey , who is synonymous with the superstar Golden Sixty , suffered his injuries after Oldtown appeared to clip the heels of another runner in the 6f handicap . On Monday , an update on Ho , who is being treated at the Prince of Wales Hospital , was released by the Hong Kong Jockey Club 's ( HKJC ) chief medical officer , who said : " Vincent Ho has undergone overnight monitoring in the intensive care unit .

The sentence 'Stephanopoulos was initially defiant of the lawsuit, telling Stephen Colbert that he wouldn't be cowed out of doing my job because of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sued me because I used the word 'rape,' even though a judge said that's in fact what did happen.' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Here, 'he' (NP subject) + 'cowed' (V1) + 'me' (NP object) + 'out of doing my job' (VP2[-ing] predicate). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the subject is preventing the object from doing something by means of exerting fear or pressure ('cowed'). The NP object 'me' functions as a causee, and the interpretation aligns with the prevention type. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Legal experts have claimed that Stephanopoulos ignored multiple network warnings not to say ' rape ' on-air , which likely hurt their ability to fight back against Trump 's lawsuit .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'kick him out of policing' involves an NP object 'him' and a prepositional phrase 'out of policing', but 'policing' is a noun, not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

I would like to be emailed about offers , event and updates from Evening Standard . Read our privacy notice . Predators , bullies , and abusers have lurked in the ranks of the Metropolitan Police for far too many years , and signs that they are unfit to serve have been either missed or deliberately swept under the carpet . The force was branded institutionally racist , misogynistic and homophobic by the landmark Casey review , while the crimes of rogue officers like Wayne Couzens have cast a long shadow over the hardwork and achievements of their former colleagues . That was the turbulent landscape for Sir Mark Rowley when he took on the role of Met Police Commissioner in 2022 . He promised to root out rotten officers , clean up the force 's reputation , and regain the trust of the public . Sir Mark , who has a long history with the Met , was realistic about the challenge ahead of him , helming a force in special measures after a series of racism and sexism scandals . He warned things @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ parade of rogue officers set to face criminal charges and disciplinary proceedings over the months and even years that followed . He has lived up to that early promise -- it 's no exaggeration to say it can seem not a day goes past without a fresh announcement of allegations being levelled against a serving Met officer , or against one who has already quit in disgrace . The seemingly endless windfall of bad apples eventually gives way to an understanding that the tree is healthier as a result . But we have reached a point where the Commissioner needs strong backing from the government , to continue the mission of banishing officers who simply should not be in the job . Policing in this country is done by consent , and the public have to trust that officers are good people who will dutifully uphold the law . They are rightly held to a higher standard as a result . A key part of that process is internal vetting , conducted at the start of an officer 's career and sometimes revisited if concerns are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have to place trust in senior police leaders that checks are stringent and those that pass the test are worthy . Sir Mark says he wants to be rid of some 300 officers -- including one arrested in the US for on suspicion of trying groom a 13-year-old girl -- but ca n't . Instead , redundant officers will sit on the payroll as the courts now say they are unsackable . It 's even more ridiculous for a force like the Met , rocked by scandal and under enormous pressure to reform , to be hamstrung in its efforts to rebuild the bond with the communities it serves . Lessons appear to have been learned from cases like Couzens , where there were a litany of missed chances to kick him out of policing before he kidnapped , raped , and murdered Sarah Everard . He had financial woes which arguably should have thwarted his bid for police service vetting , while several allegations of indecent exposure were not properly investigated at the time . Similarly , serial rapist PC Adam Provan could have been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ service when he was first accused of harassing a woman . But the allegation was minimised and eventually ignored by a senior officer . Scotland Yard has come unstuck in the courts by adopting an unlawful policy to try to get rid of officers who simply do no meet the gold standard expected of the police . Those officers who are accused must be afforded a chance to fight their corner , of course . But the rights of officers is naturally balanced against the rights of the public to have a police force they can trust . There is a high bar for standards , and police chief like Sir Mark are trusted to decide who does - and does not - fit the bill . Home Officer ministers must now act , to ensure that a police chief who wants to clean up his force is not held back in that mission . |

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

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It involves an intransitive verb 'coming' with no NP object and the second predicate 'something that is quite dark' does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The 2025 MotoGP season has clearly not started in the best way for the series ' reigning champion , Jorge Martin , who will go to the first race in Thailand having ridden his new Aprilia RS-GP for less than 20 laps this year thanks to a crash in the opening laps of the first test of the year in Sepang . Martin left Malaysia with a broken right hand and left foot , and was then ruled out of taking part in this week 's Buriram test after having surgery in Barcelona . Looking at the situation pessimistically , it sets Martin up for what could be an especially lacklustre defence of his title as he races -- rather than tests -- his way to understanding his new motorcycle , with that shiny #1 stuck to the front of it as a reminder of where he probably should be . That 's not to say , of course , that the Martin-Aprilia partnership is now destined for interminable failure or that they 'll never win a title together @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's defence of his 2024 MotoGP World Championship -- even though there has n't been a single free practice session run yet in 2025 -- could hardly have gotten off to a worse start than it has . With that in mind , we thought we 'd take a look back at some of MotoGP 's ( and , yes , that means strictly the four-stroke era ) past failed title defences to see how it 's gone wrong before for some of the series ' previous champions . In a way , it 's quite harsh to put Fabio Quartararo 's 2022 title defence on this list since already in November 2021 it was clear that holding onto his crown would be extremely difficult . This was in part because of Yamaha 's declining competitiveness but mostly because of the rise to the top that Ducati experienced with Francesco Bagnaia , who won four of the last six races in Quartararo 's title year . Bagnaia was also confident at the end of 2021 that Ducati 's Desmosedici GP22 was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ months still remaining until the start of the 2022 season . But the start of the season did n't go the way it was expected to . Bagnaia crashed in Qatar , was 15th in Indonesia , then fifth in Argentina and Texas , and a crash in qualifying at Portimao saw him start last and finish eighth . Quartararo was n't much better , with a ninth in Qatar , eighth in Argentina , and seventh in Texas . But there was a podium in Indonesia and a victory in Portimao . Jerez was the first time the two went head-to-head , and Bagnaia came out on top as Quartararo tried to avoid overheating his front tyre in Bagnaia 's dirty air for 40 minutes . But then things went back in Quartararo 's favour : 4-2-1-1 in France , Italy , Catalunya , and Germany . With three DNFs for Bagnaia in that period , Quartararo was over 90 points clear of the Italian entering the Dutch TT . That should 've been an insurmountable distance for Bagnaia , even with the performance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he ultimately won the title by 17 points , and while this was a triumph of Bagnaia and Ducati , it was also a failure of Quartararo ( who crashed at Assen and Phillip Island ) and Yamaha to let it slip away so drastically . Valentino Rossi won nine titles during his career , and failed to defend on two occasions : 2006 , and 2010 . The reason it 's 2006 that makes this list and not 2010 is because defending the title he won in 2009 was made more difficult for Rossi by a shoulder injury sustained before the season and a leg break sustained in practice for the Italian Grand Prix . In comparison , the 2006 title was lost by Rossi as a result of his own mistakes , some of which were made on track , and some off it . For example , Rossi tested a Ferrari F1 car during 2006 in such a capacity as to make a switch to the premier four-wheeled championship in the future a viability . It was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in F1 , and the consequence was a compromised development of the 2006 YZR-M1 which proved capable of winning on occasion , but Rossi only managed that on five occasions in 2006 compared to the 11 victories he amassed the previous year . There were also multiple occasions -- such as in Turkey and Germany -- where the Italian was coming through from poor qualifying positions to recover something in the race ( indeed , at the Sachsenring , it was a 14th-place qualifying performance that resulted in one of Rossi 's finest ever rides to come through and win ) , or the scenario of the Dutch TT where Rossi crashed in practice and limped to eighth in the race . Despite all of the difficulties faced in 2006 by Rossi and Yamaha , the Italian still carried the points lead into the final race over Nicky Hayden ( at least in part thanks to Hayden 's misfortune in Estoril where he was taken out by Repsol Honda teammate Dani Pedrosa ) . But one final mistake ultimately -- and famously -- cost the Italian what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world title and a complete set of 990cc crowns as he folded the front and slid out of the season-ending Valencian Grand Prix at turn two . As we will find with most of the title defences on this list , 2006 was not a bad season for Rossi in the grand scheme of things , but , by the standards he had set for himself since 2001 , it failed to achieve the ultimate target . As was the case with Rossi , Marc Marquez has ( so far ) failed to defend a title on two occasions . In his case , the unsuccessful defences came in 2015 and 2020 , and , again like Rossi , the latter was down to injury while the former was about Marquez 's own continued mistakes , and that 's why it 's 2015 that makes this list . It 's inescapably true that , when thinking about the 2015 MotoGP season , we automatically think about how it finished . But , it was , really , an excellent season of racing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ boring . After all , Marquez came into the year -- his third in the premier class -- after winning consecutive titles in his first two years as a MotoGP rider , the second of which came after a record run of 10 successive wins to start the season and a final total of 13 Grand Prix wins from 18 starts . Thinking that Marquez would n't eventually go on to dominate 2015 -- even if the start of the year in testing had n't gone perfectly -- seemed nonsensical . And , yet , there was no Marquez domination -- apart from in Texas and Germany , but on the whole the Spaniard was unable to make the same impression he had in the previous two seasons . Much of this was down to the bike , as the Honda riders that year , Marquez included , struggled with an aggressive engine character . But it was also down to Marquez 's own desire to win at every opportunity . Throwing away points in races he should 've won -- like in Argentina and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crashing at the start of the Asian triple header the title was already gone . Infamously , the #93 's inability to win the title himself that year was not the end of his influence on the championship , even if it was n't Marquez who generated that influence . But , fundamentally , Marc Marquez did n't go racing in 2015 to win Jorge Lorenzo a title . After all , Lorenzo was perfectly capable of winning the title all by himself ; and both Marquez and Valentino Rossi were perfectly capable of losing it . Suzuki had won the 2020 title with the Spaniard thanks to the adaptability of its GSX-RR and Mir 's own exceptional consistency in a season that was otherwise entirely chaotic . 2021 saw the overall chaos of MotoGP drop , and the consistency of Suzuki and Mir decline . Not only did the Spaniard not win a race in 2021 , he only scored six podiums in 2021 's 14 races compared to the seven he managed in the 14-race 2020 season . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that saw him rarely able to stand out compared to the likes of Quartararo and Bagnaia that year ; and on the one occasion he affirmatively was better than both of them , he was beaten in Styria by rookie Jorge Martin . Still , Mir was third in the 2021 standings , so it was not a disastrous year for the Spaniard , but the reason he makes the list is that there was not one point during 2021 where he looked to be the most likely rider to be crowned champion that year . In general , we 've tried to keep away from seasons where there have been major changes to rules or technical regulations , and that 's why Jorge Lorenzo 's 2016 season is n't on this list and Fabio Quartararo 's 2021 season is . However , the final point about Mir is probably also true of Nicky Hayden in 2007 , as well , but to a much greater extend , and that 's why the defence of his 2006 title is on our list @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he would defend his 2015 title after the opening race in Qatar 2016 , which he commanded effortlessly after showing formidable speed in preseason on the new Michelin tyres and with the unified electronics . Hayden , on the other hand , started the 2007 season -- the first of the 800cc era -- by going 8-7-7 in the first three races , and ended the year with an average finishing position ( from the 15 races he finished ) of eighth place . The American scored only three podiums while defending his title , and finished the year eighth in the standings , 115 points behind his second-year teammate Dani Pedrosa . Hayden may not have entered the 2007 season as the outright favourite to win the title , but finishing eighth in the year after he was crowned champion , behind both factory Suzuki riders ( John Hopkins and Chris Vermeulen ) and the satellite Honda of Marco Melandri , was at the very least a significant underperformance .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'made a habit out of targeting', where 'targeting' is part of a noun phrase ('targeting consistently unpredictable forwards') rather than a VP[-ing] predicate with a causee object. Additionally, it lacks the movement/extraction or prevention interpretation characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Then there 's the whole Martin Zubimendi situation . Liverpool failed to bring in their top midfield target in the summer , despite the fact he gave new Sporting Director Richard Hughes his word .

Ryan Gravenberch has played a crucial role for Liverpool So , there 's a lot to do at Anfield this summer . All of that is bare minimum though . For Hughes to really show his worth , he 's going to have to find ways to strengthen this squad rather than react to a situation . One such way to do this would be to focus on the attack .

The Colombian is due a new contract , his current deal expires in 2027 , but the club may be reluctant to invest in someone who is so erratic in the final third . Ironically , though , he 's entirely predictable , too . This season , 67% of his efforts have been via his right foot . In fact , he 's had more headed attempts than he has left footed shots . He 's one-footed and this makes him easier to defend and less of a goal threat . Under Michael Edwards during his first stint with the club , Liverpool made a habit out of targeting consistently unpredictable forwards . It 's one of the reasons they signed Sadio Mane and Jota . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his final season with Wolves , scoring seven Premier League goals from an expected goals ( xG ) total of over 12 , his shot selection made him a scalable threat .

Mane could finish with either foot too and this helped him become a reliable goalscorer for Liverpool , in their system which is tied to creating chances for their attackers , having been sketchy in front of goal during his two seasons with Southampton . The Reds could add another Mane or Jota this summer to help solidify their attack and provide genuine threat to Gakpo for a start on the left .

Nintendo fans had been clamoring for a Paper Mario and the Thousand-Year Door remake for a while before Nintendo announced that it was indeed working on one . In terms of remakes , Paper Mario and the Thousand-Year Door mainly focuses on the visuals , leaving the gameplay largely untouched . The results are fantastic , giving new players the opportunity to experience one of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new to the Paper Mario series , or if you played the last entry , there 's plenty to love about The Thousand-Year Door .

You can play as Leon or Claire , as you fight through a zombie-infested Raccoon City , pursued by the relentless Mr. X.

It 's a horror game that encourages replays , making it great value for money , as you attempt to clear through the story in faster and more experimental ways . Give Resident Evil 2 Remake a try if you are a horror fan , or looking to experience why the series is so revered even to the day .

" - Mahin Kesore , TechRadar Gaming reviewer . The Legend of Zelda Link 's Awakening is easily one of the best in the series but is often overlooked given that it was released on the GameBoy . This new Switch version gives it the love it deserves , with redesigned dungeons , and an entirely new art style , ensuring it ranks among the best video game remakes in 2024 . Buffeted by a storm , Link washes ashore on a mysterious tropical island with many strange inhabitants . In what is easily one of the most experimental and downright strange stories in the Zelda timeline , Link must reach the peak of a mountain to awaken a strange @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ locals of Koholint like Tarin , Marin , and the Owl . Try out Link 's Awakening if you love 2D Zelda design but with a slight 3D twist . Dungeons , Health Containers , and plenty of magic . ( Image credit : Sony ) One of the best adventure games of all time , modernized by PlayStation Shadow of the Colossus was one of the most innovative games when it was originally released , and continues to inspire modern games to this day . The remake makes it a more approachable beast , and a must-play for those looking to learn their gaming history . Shadow of the Colossus was such a forward-thinking thing when it was released , giving players the chance to climb giant beasts in a morally grey narrative . The world is even prettier and gloomier in this video game remake , which also updates the controls to be a bit friendlier to modern audiences . You 'll explore a vast , dreamlike landscape filled with mystery and secrets . Your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a dear friend in the process . There are epic battles that take to the skies , moments of genuine horror , as well as a challenging and subversive narrative as the story comes to an end . Originally conceived as a PS4 exclusive , you can now play Shadow of the Colossus on PS5 as well through backward compatibility . It 's not come to PC yet , but it 's absolutely worth picking up on PlayStation . ( Image credit : Nintendo ) Ask anyone what their favorite Pok ? mon games are , and it 's likely you 'll hear some variation of Gold and Silver . HeartGold and SoulSilver are the definitive versions of these beloved games , playable on Nintendo DS . Pok ? mon HeartGold and SoulSilver take the original GameBoy Color games and drags them onto Nintendo DS in a very accomplished video game remake . While this can make them hard to find , not to mention expensive , they 're well worth seeking out . In many ways @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mainline Role-playing game series , with smart tweaks to the original formula . Whether you 're excited to hunt for legendaries , revisit a game from your childhood , or experience Gold and Silver for the first time , you 'll get a lot out of visiting the Nintendo DS version . Plot elements from Pok ? mon Crystal are included here , and you can have Pok ? mon follow you around as you adventure . The five Kimono Girls in Ecruteak City now play a larger role , and the story as a whole is more of a focus in the remake . Well worth jumping in whether you 've played the original games or not . Hopefully , we 'll see Nintendo offer easier ways to play Pok ? mon HeartGold and SoulSilver in the future . + Next-gen visuals + Super-fast load times + Atmospheric locations - Extreme difficulty may deter many - Clunky lock-on system - Can feel overwhelming Why we love @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Souls from the ground up for PS5 , and it 's a phenomenal , often breathtaking achievement . Demon 's Souls is the first game that actually looks like it could only run on a next-gen machine , with spectacular lighting , convincing animations and super-fast load times some of the key highlights . " - Adam Vjestica , TechRadar Gaming reviewer . Demon 's Souls is the precursor to the Dark Souls series , and , in many ways , you can see it as a testing bed for many of the ideas that would become a staple of the action RPG genre moving forward . While this video game remake is undoubtedly different from the original in terms of visual style , the majority of enemy designs remain unchanged . There are some onboarding features to ease players in , but from the get-go , you 're very much thrown into the deep end . Huge bosses , tough-as-nails enemies and the threat of ever-present traps will aim to stop you from making your way through Demon 's Souls ' moody but gorgeous landscapes . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Demon 's Souls absolutely stands toe to toe with the very best . Once again , this one is a PS5 exclusive , but you can pick it up as part of PS Plus to save a bit of cash . ( Image credit : Insomniac Games ) " The most important thing that this reboot manages to hold onto is its sense of humor and likeable characters . Ratchet and Clank has a tongue-in-cheek self-awareness that will appeal to players young and old , and its characters are a pleasure to play as and alongside . " - Emma Boyle , TechRadar Gaming reviewer . Ratchet & Clank was very popular indeed in the early to mid-2000s , before falling out ion favor with players and critics alike . This was largely due to there being too many games , of middling quality , and which covered a huge breadth of genres and mechanics . The video game remake on PS4 strips things back to basics , revisiting the story from the first game . The focus here @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ made the early games in the series so beloved . There 's real work put into the cutscenes too , which pull scenes from the movie of the same name . Excellent voice acting and a truly lovely narrative about a kid trying to find his place in the Universe makes Ratchet & Clank a great choice for families , though people of all ages will certainly find a lot to love as well . Strangely , while you can play its sequel , Ratchet & Clank : Rift Apart , on PC , this remake is only available on PlayStation platforms . Even so , it 's a great game in its own right and the perfect throwback to when 3D platforms reigned supreme . + Great soundtrack + Countless challenges to beat + Gorgeous graphics - Sparse create-a-character options - Some levels have n't aged well - Online multiplayer is limited Why we love it " Tony Hawk steps back on the board to deliver @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the best skateboarding game in what feels like forever , and that 's something well worth celebrating . " - Adam Vjestica , TechRadar Gaming reviewer . Tony Hawk 's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is a video game remake of the first two in the series , but one that introduces mechanics from later games to help bring them into the modern day . This Frankenstein 's monster of a game therefore represents the best of the series , with the best maps meeting the best gameplay we 've seen in a skating game so far . Customization is a major focus in the latest Pro Skater game , allowing you to slowly unlock more and more styles for your skater . All of the major players are still involved , however , from Tony Hawk himself to new skaters like Leo Baker . There are few genres that evoke the nostalgia that skating games do . For a long time , they were a staple of gaming , helping to continue the popularity of score-based experiences , and ushering in an era where licensed music @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ games . The best part ? You can play this remake on pretty much anything , even Nintendo Switch and PC . - It 's pretty linear - Some people might not like Square Enix playing with the story Why we love it " Final Fantasy 7 Remake completely recreates the opening portion of the original game , expanding a five to eight hour section into a full 40-hour RPG . And , every single minute is a delight , with some of the best gameplay and storytelling we 've seen in a Final Fantasy game in almost 20 years . " - Jackie Thomas , TechRadar Gaming reviewer . Final Fantasy 7 is a pillar of gaming history , and with the remake now out , it 's easy to see why . This one is definitely more than a remake , given that it remixes some key plot points while setting up an entirely new game , but there 's plenty that will be familiar to those who played the original . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it launched back in 2020 , Final Fantasy 7 Remake really hit the mark . Not only is it one of the best RPGs you can play right now , it 's one of the series ' best in years . The thing to realize here is that Final Fantasy 7 Remake only deals with roughly a third of the original 's story . It sets up a new sequel in very interesting ways , and we ca n't wait to get our hands on Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth this year . You 'll need a PS4 , PS5 , or PC to play this one , and if you do , consider picking up the version that includes Integrade , as you 'll get some extra content including Yuffie Kisaragi . + Increased accessibility options + More difficulty levels for sadists among you + Lovingly remade without sacrificing anything - Repeat players might not notice many changes Why we love it " Naughty Dog has taken The Last of Us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and subtlety that matches even that romantic and unrealistic bar . It truly honors the original game and the fans . And it 's done in such a way you wo n't even notice . " - Shabana Arif , TechRadar Gaming reviewer . The Last of Us Part 1 offers a from-the-ground-up video game remake of the PS3 exclusive . This time around , there are little tweaks to crafting , gunplay , and even character models . It 's a truly stunning thing to look at , one that easily proves itself as one of the best PS5 exclusives you can play in 2024 . If you 've played The Last of Us , or its PS4 Remastered version , you 'll still get something out of this recent remake . If you 've never played it before , then this is the best way to do so , one that leads nicely into the recent remaster of the sequel . Thankfully , you can play The Last of Us Part 1 on PS5 and PC , with the PC version really pushing the boat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ play , you 'll be in very safe hands indeed . + A concise story + Entertaining enemy NPCs + Great melee/weapon combos + An actually enjoyable escort mission - I ca n't think of any that were n't self-inflicted Why we love it " I 'm happy to say that Resident Evil 4 joins Capcom 's ever-growing list of brilliant remakes . More than simply improved graphics , the team has smoothed down the original 's rough edges , making its story , combat , and boss fights land better than they ever did before . If this is what is possible in a remake , then I ca n't wait to see what Capcom does next . " - Ellie Gould , Tech Radar Gaming reviewer . Resident Evil 4 Remake is perhaps the best example of how video game remakes can breath new life into a cult classic . While many would argue that the original probably did n't need to be updated , Resident Evil @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than justify Capcom 's decision . In fact , Resident Evil 4 Remake somehow manages to add new context to the original , and stands on its own two feet as one of the best horror games ever made . It 's brutal , absolutely gorgeous to look at , and well-paced throughout . Much easier to recommend to new players than the now-dated , but nevertheless great original . Whether it 's the game 's iconic opening moments , to the nerve-wracking and tense encounter with the giant alligator , Resident Evil 4 Remake 's story contains some of the best horror set pieces in the genre . Thanks to new tech , combat feels weighty , with enemies reacting to every bullet , every blast , and every suplex . ( Image credit : Sony Interactive Entertainment ) There 's the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake , though we do n't yet have a release date for it . Beyond that , there 's a The Witcher remake @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well as a Prince of Persia : The Sands of Time . None of these have anything remotely close to a release date , but perhaps 2025 will be the year ! These days , the lines between remaster and remake often get blurred . In our eyes , a remake tends to be from the ground up , using new assets and a new development cycle . Remasters , on the other hand , use existing assets and development resources to upgrade and enhance what is already there . Many of us at TechRadar Gaming play a lot of remakes and often have experience with the originals too .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate that would induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

When you purchase through links on our site , we may earn an affiliate commission . Here 's how it works . ( Image credit : Michael Kovac/Getty Images ) Bobby Kotick , the former CEO of Activision Blizzard , made a recent appearance on the Girt podcast discussing his career in videogames and various elements of the publisher 's history . Kotick at one point discusses Blizzard , and specifically what he felt were some of the developer 's biggest issues with World of Warcraft : Making a movie , burning out Chris Metzen , and trying to replace it with Titan . 2016 saw the release of the World of Warcraft movie , called simply Warcraft , and the consensus is that it was n't great : The film holds a 29% rating on Rotten Tomatoes . The film grossed $439 million against a $160 million production budget , so it was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hard to argue it added much to Blizzard 's flagship series . And Kotick just thinks it was " a terrible idea " from the start , and a major factor in the departure of veteran Chris Metzen from Blizzard in 2016 . Kotick says that the Warcraft movie deal was already signed before Activision merged with Blizzard , and he quickly came to feel it was serving as a major diversion for a studio that should 've been focused on games . " It took a lot of resources and distracted them , " said Kotick . " You think about all these people who make videogames for a living , and now they have the chance to make a movie , and they 're helping with the casting and they 're on the set and it 's just a huge distraction . Our expansions were late , patches were n't getting done on time and ... the movie was terrible , it was one of the worst movies I 've ever seen . " Tell us what you really think ! " Metzen I think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and left , " says Kotick . " A few years ago I called him and begged him .... Please come back . He 'd seen the two expansion plans and he called me and said they 're not good , they need to be re-done , and I said come do it . To me he 's the heart and soul of the company . " Metzen returned to Blizzard in 2022 , in a move that was generally welcomed by Warcraft fans , and his return does seem to have coincided with the game entering a period of robust good health , regular updates , and expansions that have people excited again . Obviously that ca n't all be put down to one person 's influence , but Kotick clearly holds Metzen in the highest esteem , and even admits he barely spoke to him after the return : " I just wanted him to do his thing , and the last expansion he had his fingerprints all over it , it 's excellent , and the next one 's gon na be great . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " what am I going to tell Chris Metzen about game design ? " Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals , as picked by the PC Gamer team .

Kotick goes on to briefly discuss another Blizzard failure of the time , which the studio somehow managed to turn into an enormous success . " They had this big project they spent $80 million on , Titan , " says Kotick . " This big ambitious ' how to replace World of Warcraft ' , instead of figuring out how do you make WoW better , how do you deliver content to players quicker , still good content but .... You do n't need three years to make an expansion . Figure out how to satisfy your existing player @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is exactly what Blizzard has subsequently done : The studio clearly is now laser-focused on its existing WoW playerbase and serving them . But at the time , Titan was taking resource away from WoW , and it had a major problem : " They realised Titan was n't going to be a game . " Kotick continues : " Mike Ybarra cancelled it , Chris Metzen and Jeff Kaplan and a few other guys went to him and said ' we have a good idea from the ashes of Titan , we 'd really like to make it ' , Mike to his credit said I 'll give you two years , and that was Overwatch . " Even now it 's clear that something about the game blew Kotick away , and he 's eager to take his share of the credit for making it happen . " They came to our three year planning meeting and all I saw was the artwork , I did n't even see the prototype of the game , " recalls Kotick . " To me it was like , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Because the Blizzard aesthetic was something dark and very different . This was the most hopeful , colourful , Pixar-like universe . This is unbelievable , we 're making this . We 're doing that . " Asked if Blizzard would have done it without him , you 're suddenly reminded of the enormous power this man used to wield in the industry when he declares : " They could n't , I had to sign off on it . " The executive had a wildly successful career in videogames , but left Activision Blizzard in 2023 under something of a cloud . Kotick at times seemed almost a pantomime villain within the games industry , the epitome of the cutthroat capitalist out for profit over artistry , and willing to declare things like " the goal is to take all the fun out of making videogames . " The beginning of the end was arguably a bombshell 2021 civil rights lawsuit filed in California : This was followed by staff walkouts , numerous calls for Kotick 's resignation , and possibly even precipitated Microsoft 's megabucks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pronouncing on Activision Blizzard 's internal failures galling , given his own denials and failures to get to grips with systemic sexism and harassment problems at the company . But there is the other side of Kotick 's career , and why his departure was mourned by certain shareholders : He took a near-bankrupt Activision to a merger with Blizzard and an eventual $68.7 billion sale . Kotick may not care about the art of making games : But he undeniably understands the business . The full interview is over two hours long and sees Kotick going into all areas of Activision Blizzard 's history . For its part , World of Warcraft feels like it 's in a golden age ( let 's not mention Overwatch ) , and these days is even comfortable taking cheeky potshots at its rivals . And in news that will make one former executive very happy , it certainly does n't look like the Warcraft movie will be getting a sequel .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'backed out of operating flights to Paris' does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The airline has announced plans to cancel flights ( Image : ( Image : Getty Images ) ) Ryanair , the airline renowned for its tongue-in-cheek social media persona and rock-bottom fares , is poised to overhaul its services across key European destinations . The company has revealed plans to halt certain routes due to recent taxes or surcharges it would have to shoulder . In Spain , the budget carrier has experienced an 18 percent reduction in its summer 2025 traffic , equating to a loss of 800,000 seats and 12 routes . Ryanair said that it will stop operations in Jerez and Valladolid , withdraw one aircraft based in Santiago , and reduce traffic at five other regional airports -- Vigo ( down 61 percent ) , Santiago ( down 28 percent ) , Zaragoza ( down 20 percent ) , Asturias ( down 11 percent ) and Santander ( down 5 percent ) -- @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CEO Eddie Wilson said : " Excessive airport charges and lack of workable growth incentives continue to undermine Spain 's regional airports , limiting their growth and leaving vast swathes of airport 's capacity underutilised . " But the Mirror was informed that the average fee airlines will fork out to Aena for airport services from March 1 this year will remain fixed at ? 10.35 per passenger . " This charge is among the lowest in Europe , " said Aena , the world 's leading airport operator by passenger volume . But Spain is n't the only country gearing up for cuts from Ryanair . Travel and Tour World reports that increased charges could lead to reduced capacity in several popular destinations , including Italy , reports the Mirror . Ryanair confirmed last month that it will also withdraw one of its Rome-based aircrafts from Fiumicino ( Italy 's largest airport ) for the summer of 2025 . " This means no growth for Rome despite the celebrations for the Jubilee year , " the airline stated , attributing the decision to municipal surcharges @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2025 . Austria is also under scrutiny due to its ? 12 air traffic tax . ? " This exorbitant tax , along with Austria 's high airport and security fees , is undermining Austria 's competitiveness as a tourist destination compared to lower-cost EU countries such as Sweden , Hungary and regions of Italy , all of which are abolishing aviation tax and reducing access costs to secure traffic and tourism growth , " Ryanair declared in a statement . As previously reported , Ryanair has discontinued all flights to and from Aalborg following Denmark 's introduction of new aviation taxes . However , airlines including KLM , Norwegian Air , and Scandinavian Airlines will continue to operate flights from the UK to Aalborg , but passengers will need to take a connecting flight to reach their destination .

Harrison Minturn still has a way to go in his recovery from a groin injury that has seen him out of action at Swindon Town since December . Ahead of Swindon 's Vertu Trophy victory over Wycombe Wanderers late last year , Minturn limped out of training with what Ian Holloway initially feared could be a Gilmore 's Groin issue as he could not sprint and felt sore . Town soon discovered that the young defender would not require surgery for his issue as it was just swelling , but the road to recovery has been a difficult one . The 21-year-old 's last appearance saw him get an assist as Swindon defeated Fleetwood Town 3-1 courtesy of a Harry Smith hat-trick . Joel McGregor , who suffered a similar issue not long after , was able to make his return to action off the bench against Port Vale at the weekend , although Minturn will have to wait longer . Holloway said : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the process but he did n't make the same progress as Joel and his was slightly worse . " He has had an injection to try and get rid of the inflammation in that area , the groin is not an easy place to have a problem as everything you do as a footballer is all related to the core . " It is not good for a young man to have that so hopefully he can get better . " I had two Gilmore 's Groin operations and it was absolutely horrendous , having your inguinal ring sewn back together is not fun and it takes six to eight weeks . " He has n't had to have that , it was just an injection and even that is not nice . " There is no way you can play through it as you lose all sorts of power , hopefully , the injection will sort that out . " Despite the difficulty in recovery from Minturn 's issue , Swindon expect him to return to playing this season , even if that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said : " There is hope that he will come back before the end of the season but he is definitely further back than Joel is . " Joel has had two weeks on the grass and has had no adverse response to his twisting and turning and that is what could have gone wrong . " We might be another five or six weeks away from seeing where Harrison is and hopefully he can come back at a very interesting time of the season .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It uses 'get the best out of everything', where 'everything' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'shooting the living f*** out of everything' does not involve a VP2[-ing] predicate and does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it is an idiomatic expression indicating intensity of action, not the grammatical construction in question.

The sentence 'London had the dubious honour of becoming Britain's fastest ageing city, partly because its population is increasingly opting out of having children.' involves the structure 'NP subject (its population) + V1 (opting) + NP object (out of) + VP2[-ing] predicate (having children)'. This fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. Additionally, it conveys a prevention interpretation, where the population is preventing themselves from having children by opting out. The verb 'opting' can be categorized under 'By other specific means', and the NP subject 'its population' is an animate agent. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

According to former Tory MP Miriam Cates , it 's " the one overarching threat to British conservatism and to the whole of Western society " . What is this menace on the horizon ? The rise of AI ? Right-wing extremism ? Climate change ? No , the fact that women in the UK -- and especially London -- are having fewer babies . It 's been called " the birth dearth " and the reasons for it are manifold , from short-term factors including unaffordable nursery fees to more existential worries , such as fears about the state of the world . Although falling birth rates are a problem across the UK -- and in many other countries -- London 's has plunged dramatically . The average woman in London now has 1.35 children , down from 1.74 in 2013 . The national average is 1.44 .

The long-term implications for public services are even more worrying . Society functions like a pyramid scheme , with the youngest members supporting the old . If the bottom of the pyramid falls away it would put a huge strain on the health service , the benefits system and the state pension . In fact , many experts believe that unless we solve this " baby-geddon " , life in the city as we know it could collapse . " The Government needs to act now otherwise society just is n't going to function , " explains Dr Paul Morland , author of No One Left : Why the World Needs More Children . " The babies born now are the people whose taxes will pay for our healthcare . They will be the ones looking after us in our old age . They are the doctors and nurses and care workers of the future . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , there will be a pensions crisis , a labour shortage and everything will break down . " London is becoming Britain 's ' fastest ageing city ' Getty Images Last month , London had the dubious honour of becoming Britain 's " fastest ageing city " , partly because its population is increasingly opting out of having children . One of those is Esther , 31 , from Wembley . " I always thought I 'd go to uni , get a job , have kids , but seeing how becoming a parent has upended my friends ' lives has put me off , " she says . " In the generation above me , nearly everyone becomes a parent , but I think people my age are really on the fence , and the generation below mine are even less up for it . My partner and I love our life -- we travel , we have such freedom . The idea of giving that all up and pressing pause on my career does n't appeal . " Every now and again , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , I wonder if I 've made the right decision Esther , 31 , from Wembley According to the Resolution Foundation , birth rates have been falling faster in London than in the rest of the country since the 2000s . In October last year , figures released by the Office for National Statistics showed only 104,252 babies were born in the capital in 2023 , a drop of 2,444 on the previous year and the lowest figure since 2008 . Islington had the lowest fertility rate of any borough ( 1.01 ) , followed by Southwark and Hammersmith & Fulham , both on 1.06 . " Fertility rates are lower in areas such as London where housing costs are high and accommodation types are less suited to families , " says Ann Berrington , professor of demography at the University of Southampton . " Many students and young adults move to major urban areas , and then move away at a later life stage when they want to start a family . " Why are birth rates in London at historically low levels ? Housing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ long been the case , so why are birth rates in London at historically low levels ? Housing and childcare are the obvious first answers . They have always been more expensive in the capital , and things are markedly worse now . Full-time employees in London spend about 12 times their annual earnings buying a home , and that 's if they can get on the housing ladder at all . And then there 's childcare . Nursery costs in London are already some of the highest in the world and the influx of private equity into the sector means the pressure is on to maximise profits even further . Putting your little darling through a private nursery such as N Club could now cost you more than ? 2,000 a month for a full-time place -- that 's ? 24,000 a year . Research from Pregnant Then Screwed in 2022 found that 60 per cent of women who had terminated a pregnancy said the cost of childcare was a factor in their decision . A full-time place at a private nursery could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Archive " It is no surprise to us that fertility rates have hit the floor , as procreation is fast becoming a luxury item in London , " says Joeli Brearley , founder of Pregnant Then Screwed . " Our research finds that almost half of parents have been plunged into debt or had to use savings , some are even pulling money from their pension pots , just to survive maternity leave . The cost of housing , childcare , the measly sum provided for maternity leave and rising rates of pregnancy and maternity discrimination means that for many , having a child is financial suicide . If we are n't careful , people will be priced out of becoming parents , and the economy ca n't afford to pay that price . " According to a 2023 study from UCL , only one in four 32-year-olds who want children are actively trying to have them . Financial worries were one of the top reasons cited . Sarah Buckley , a 29-year-old PR from Lewisham , says having a child would " bankrupt " her and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would become more expensive due to the extra water , heat and electricity being used , and if I wanted to move to a house to raise a child in , forget it . Getting on the property ladder is almost unthinkable for my generation of Londoners , " she says . " I 'd want to have a decent salary to provide a comfortable life to raise a child , but the one I currently have is barely enough for me and my husband , and I doubt it 's going to increase much any time soon . " The birth rate is also falling because more people are deciding to only have one child . " One and done " families are especially common in London , where more women start having children later . The birth rate for women aged 40 to 44 in London is more than double that of the North East . Only having one child is especially common in London Getty Images Saya Ebbesen , 41 , works in medical communications and lives in Hackney . She has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not to have more children . " We 've decided to live in London because we want to bring up our child in a diverse urban environment , " she says . " But the trade-off with that is that we do n't have any family nearby to help . We love being parents but we are very focused on our work . You ca n't have it all -- you pick your battles -- and for us that means having one child . " London maternity wards are already being left empty because of the declining birth rate The declining birth rate is already leaving maternity wards empty and teachers struggling to fill classrooms . The NHS is currently consulting on plans to close maternity units at either the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead or the Whittington Hospital in Archway due to a " falling birth rate " in the area . According to data from 2021-2022 , half of the cots at the Royal Free Hospital neonatal unit were not in use on any given day . At the Edgware Birth Centre , fewer than 50 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are often the heart of communities , are also closing . Four schools in Hackney closed last summer , and six more are under threat of closure or being merged . In Camden , four primary schools have closed since 2019 ; and Southwark -- which has already lost several schools -- has warned that a further 16 are at risk of closure . More will inevitably follow , as London local authorities predict a further decline of 52,000 primary school pupils by 2028 . " The situation is at a crisis point , " says teacher Andrew Dyer , the National Education Union branch secretary for Camden . " It points at what Camden and other central boroughs may look like in the future and it 's bleak . It used to be a borough full of creativity with life and families . " Campaigners are warning that the city could turn into a succession of " ghost towns " . So what can be done to boost the birth rate in London ? Politicians in the UK tend to be squeamish @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interfere in voters ' private lives . But many campaigners say policies which penalise families , such as the benefits cap , should be scrapped . Schemes giving families 15 or 30 hours of free childcare implemented by Jeremy Hunt are a good start , but more systems need to be in place to support those who want to have children . Morland says society also has to change radically how it thinks about parenthood . " At the moment we tell people to go to university , get a career and only then think about becoming parents , " he says . " What if you encouraged people to have children young and if they did then you 'd subsidise their degree and have cr ? ches in universities ? What if all companies had built-in childcare facilities at no extra cost to parents ? " Getty Images But Berrington says pro-natal policies do n't always work , and even countries which offer excellent government support for families , such as Sweden , are experiencing a falling birth rate . " There are government interventions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ funding for childcare and more funding for fertility treatment on the NHS , " says Berrington . " But these policies can be expensive and there 's limited evidence that they raise the overall fertility rate . They tend to just bring forward in time births that would happen anyway , and not increase the overall number of births . " Compared to other cities , London might actually be the best place to be if the global birth rate continues to spiral downwards Instead , the Government may need to focus on ways to keep its growing older population healthier and able to work longer . The state pension age is already forecast to rise to 68 in 2044 . Dinks ( that 's couples with Dual Income , No Kids ) might be encouraged to save more for their care in later life . No wonder private equity is also moving into the care home sector . Luxury senior living centres are popping up in London 's most exclusive boroughs , from Richmond to Highgate . But compared to other cities , London might actually be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ continues to spiral downwards . " London will survive because it has always drawn young people to it , " says Morland . " For 50 years , birth rates have been falling and we 've plugged the gap with migration . But countries such as Poland , Ireland and even India have low fertility rates now , so it wo n't work for much longer . London will have to compete to draw in young migrants from sub-Saharan Africa , where 70 per cent of the population is under 30 and the population is predicted to double by 2050 . " Esther says that if there was better maternity pay , more help to get on the housing ladder and childcare was less expensive , she might reconsider her decision not to have a child . " Every now and again , when I see a friend 's baby and it 's a cute little chubby one , I do wonder if I 've made the right decision , " she says . Chris and Roberta Hodder recently moved from Forest Hill to Eastbourne with their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ knew we 'd never be able to afford a house in London , " says Chris . " Loads of other families we know were leaving London too and since we 've moved we 've met loads of other DFLs ( Down From Londoners ) . We do miss city life but we needed security for our family . I do n't think it 's healthy that London is becoming a city without children -- it 's becoming a necropolis . " |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'people' is the NP object and 'becoming parents' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also gives rise to a prevention interpretation, meaning that people will be prevented from becoming parents due to being priced out. The verb 'priced' implies a means of exerting financial pressure, which aligns with the classification of verbs that can appear in the V1 slot of the construction. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

In fact , many experts believe that unless we solve this " baby-geddon " , life in the city as we know it could collapse . " The Government needs to act now otherwise society just is n't going to function , " explains Dr Paul Morland , author of No One Left : Why the World Needs More Children . " The babies born now are the people whose taxes will pay for our healthcare . They will be the ones looking after us in our old age . They are the doctors and nurses and care workers of the future . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , there will be a pensions crisis , a labour shortage and everything will break down . " London is becoming Britain 's ' fastest ageing city ' Getty Images Last month , London had the dubious honour of becoming Britain 's " fastest ageing city " , partly because its population is increasingly opting out of having children . One of those is Esther , 31 , from Wembley . " I always thought I 'd go to uni , get a job , have kids , but seeing how becoming a parent has upended my friends ' lives has put me off , " she says . " In the generation above me , nearly everyone becomes a parent , but I think people my age are really on the fence , and the generation below mine are even less up for it . My partner and I love our life -- we travel , we have such freedom . The idea of giving that all up and pressing pause on my career does n't appeal . " Every now and again , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , I wonder if I 've made the right decision Esther , 31 , from Wembley According to the Resolution Foundation , birth rates have been falling faster in London than in the rest of the country since the 2000s . In October last year , figures released by the Office for National Statistics showed only 104,252 babies were born in the capital in 2023 , a drop of 2,444 on the previous year and the lowest figure since 2008 . Islington had the lowest fertility rate of any borough ( 1.01 ) , followed by Southwark and Hammersmith & Fulham , both on 1.06 . " Fertility rates are lower in areas such as London where housing costs are high and accommodation types are less suited to families , " says Ann Berrington , professor of demography at the University of Southampton . " Many students and young adults move to major urban areas , and then move away at a later life stage when they want to start a family . " Why are birth rates in London at historically low levels ? Housing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ long been the case , so why are birth rates in London at historically low levels ? Housing and childcare are the obvious first answers . They have always been more expensive in the capital , and things are markedly worse now . Full-time employees in London spend about 12 times their annual earnings buying a home , and that 's if they can get on the housing ladder at all . And then there 's childcare . Nursery costs in London are already some of the highest in the world and the influx of private equity into the sector means the pressure is on to maximise profits even further . Putting your little darling through a private nursery such as N Club could now cost you more than ? 2,000 a month for a full-time place -- that 's ? 24,000 a year . Research from Pregnant Then Screwed in 2022 found that 60 per cent of women who had terminated a pregnancy said the cost of childcare was a factor in their decision . A full-time place at a private nursery could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Archive " It is no surprise to us that fertility rates have hit the floor , as procreation is fast becoming a luxury item in London , " says Joeli Brearley , founder of Pregnant Then Screwed . " Our research finds that almost half of parents have been plunged into debt or had to use savings , some are even pulling money from their pension pots , just to survive maternity leave . The cost of housing , childcare , the measly sum provided for maternity leave and rising rates of pregnancy and maternity discrimination means that for many , having a child is financial suicide . If we are n't careful , people will be priced out of becoming parents , and the economy ca n't afford to pay that price . " According to a 2023 study from UCL , only one in four 32-year-olds who want children are actively trying to have them . Financial worries were one of the top reasons cited . Sarah Buckley , a 29-year-old PR from Lewisham , says having a child would " bankrupt " her and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would become more expensive due to the extra water , heat and electricity being used , and if I wanted to move to a house to raise a child in , forget it . Getting on the property ladder is almost unthinkable for my generation of Londoners , " she says . " I 'd want to have a decent salary to provide a comfortable life to raise a child , but the one I currently have is barely enough for me and my husband , and I doubt it 's going to increase much any time soon . " The birth rate is also falling because more people are deciding to only have one child . " One and done " families are especially common in London , where more women start having children later . The birth rate for women aged 40 to 44 in London is more than double that of the North East . Only having one child is especially common in London Getty Images Saya Ebbesen , 41 , works in medical communications and lives in Hackney . She has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not to have more children . " We 've decided to live in London because we want to bring up our child in a diverse urban environment , " she says . " But the trade-off with that is that we do n't have any family nearby to help . We love being parents but we are very focused on our work . You ca n't have it all -- you pick your battles -- and for us that means having one child . " London maternity wards are already being left empty because of the declining birth rate The declining birth rate is already leaving maternity wards empty and teachers struggling to fill classrooms . The NHS is currently consulting on plans to close maternity units at either the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead or the Whittington Hospital in Archway due to a " falling birth rate " in the area . According to data from 2021-2022 , half of the cots at the Royal Free Hospital neonatal unit were not in use on any given day . At the Edgware Birth Centre , fewer than 50 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are often the heart of communities , are also closing . Four schools in Hackney closed last summer , and six more are under threat of closure or being merged . In Camden , four primary schools have closed since 2019 ; and Southwark -- which has already lost several schools -- has warned that a further 16 are at risk of closure . More will inevitably follow , as London local authorities predict a further decline of 52,000 primary school pupils by 2028 . " The situation is at a crisis point , " says teacher Andrew Dyer , the National Education Union branch secretary for Camden . " It points at what Camden and other central boroughs may look like in the future and it 's bleak . It used to be a borough full of creativity with life and families . " Campaigners are warning that the city could turn into a succession of " ghost towns " . So what can be done to boost the birth rate in London ? Politicians in the UK tend to be squeamish @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interfere in voters ' private lives . But many campaigners say policies which penalise families , such as the benefits cap , should be scrapped . Schemes giving families 15 or 30 hours of free childcare implemented by Jeremy Hunt are a good start , but more systems need to be in place to support those who want to have children . Morland says society also has to change radically how it thinks about parenthood . " At the moment we tell people to go to university , get a career and only then think about becoming parents , " he says . " What if you encouraged people to have children young and if they did then you 'd subsidise their degree and have cr ? ches in universities ? What if all companies had built-in childcare facilities at no extra cost to parents ? " Getty Images But Berrington says pro-natal policies do n't always work , and even countries which offer excellent government support for families , such as Sweden , are experiencing a falling birth rate . " There are government interventions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ funding for childcare and more funding for fertility treatment on the NHS , " says Berrington . " But these policies can be expensive and there 's limited evidence that they raise the overall fertility rate . They tend to just bring forward in time births that would happen anyway , and not increase the overall number of births . " Compared to other cities , London might actually be the best place to be if the global birth rate continues to spiral downwards Instead , the Government may need to focus on ways to keep its growing older population healthier and able to work longer . The state pension age is already forecast to rise to 68 in 2044 . Dinks ( that 's couples with Dual Income , No Kids ) might be encouraged to save more for their care in later life . No wonder private equity is also moving into the care home sector . Luxury senior living centres are popping up in London 's most exclusive boroughs , from Richmond to Highgate . But compared to other cities , London might actually be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ continues to spiral downwards . " London will survive because it has always drawn young people to it , " says Morland . " For 50 years , birth rates have been falling and we 've plugged the gap with migration . But countries such as Poland , Ireland and even India have low fertility rates now , so it wo n't work for much longer . London will have to compete to draw in young migrants from sub-Saharan Africa , where 70 per cent of the population is under 30 and the population is predicted to double by 2050 . " Esther says that if there was better maternity pay , more help to get on the housing ladder and childcare was less expensive , she might reconsider her decision not to have a child . " Every now and again , when I see a friend 's baby and it 's a cute little chubby one , I do wonder if I 've made the right decision , " she says . Chris and Roberta Hodder recently moved from Forest Hill to Eastbourne with their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ knew we 'd never be able to afford a house in London , " says Chris . " Loads of other families we know were leaving London too and since we 've moved we 've met loads of other DFLs ( Down From Londoners ) . We do miss city life but we needed security for our family . I do n't think it 's healthy that London is becoming a city without children -- it 's becoming a necropolis . " |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'moving your investments out of polluting industries' involves a different construction where 'out of' is used in a spatial or metaphorical sense, not as part of the transitive out of -ing construction.

UK households can boost their pension by up to ? 720 every year ( Image : Getty ) UK households are being urged to add up to ? 720 in free tax relief to their pension each year with a little-known rule . Ethical finance firm Path Financial says there are three things that can all trigger extra tax relief payments from the Treasury which can significantly boost your pension , but wo n't cost you anything extra . The firm says that a children 's pension , personal pension , or someone else paying into your pension can all lead to extra tax relief payments worth up to ? 720 per year .

In addition , putting up to ? 2,880 per year in your own pension will also trigger tax relief payments of up to ? 720 . Rowan Harding , financial planner at Path Financial , says : " Essentially , if you put ? 2,880 in your pension pot in one year , you will be entitled to ? 720 in tax relief from the Government .

Located on the junction of North Queen Street and Federick Street , the site is a short distance from the new Ulster University city centre campus and St Patrick 's Church on Donegall Street .

Promoted online as a " rare opportunity to acquire a prominent corner site with obvious development potential " the priced is advertised as " on application " . The lease agreement , dated December 1985 , was signed by the then Bishop of Down and Connor , Cahal Daly and two other priests .

" However , we have received a request from OKT Belfast on behalf of their client for a waiver of covenant which is currently under consideration , " he said . The Irish News understands that in 2016 the Housing Executive refused permission for the covenant to be removed . Asked if the executive stands to benefit financially from any sale , the spokesman said : " We may be entitled to seek a premium for the removal of any restrictive covenants contained in the lease or the disposal of its freehold interest where these are required by the current lessees .

Ke Huy Quan completed an astounding career comeback with 2023 's Everything Everywhere All At Once , winning an Oscar for his part in the surreal action hit . Other than a support role in Marvel 's Loki series , things have been relatively quiet since then . Love Hurts is Quan 's first lead role since his resurgence , playing chipper real estate agent Marvin , who has left his life as a hitman behind to sell houses . His civilian bliss is upended , however , when an ex-partner ( Ariana DeBose ) comes out of hiding to get revenge on their former boss , Marvin 's brother Knuckles . The film offers a similar appeal to 2021 's Nobody , following a middle-aged man with an unexpected background as a hitman . It seemingly has everything needed to succeed , particularly given Quan 's irrepressible positivity and likeable on-screen presence . It 's a shame , then , that everything surrounding him misses the target . The script is a jumble , going in different directions that feel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ characters we 're supposed to care about . The action is also rather cartoonish , meaning the stakes never seem as high as the shaky dialogue insists they are . The stars have some semblance of chemistry , even if DeBose tries a bit too hard to portray Quan as some irresistible action hero . The rest of the cast seem trapped in a vortex of cliches borrowed from other films . Fans of The Goonies will be delighted to see Sean Astin reunite with Quan on-screen , if only briefly . There is definitely potential for Ke Huy Quan to build on the amazing performance that made him an Oscar winner , but Love Hurts is n't the film to do it . Achieving little as an action film or a comedy , it 's proof that a talented star ca n't save a bad film . |

The aim is to enhance road safety and make key city routes ' safer .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'money being robbed out of working people's pocket' does not involve a VP2[-ing] predicate, and it does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a general action of taking money without the specific grammatical and semantic properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The aim is to enhance road safety and make key city routes ' safer . ' Coventry City Council collaborated with West Midlands Police to identify the city roads where traffic cameras were most needed , with speeding identified as an ' issue ' on the 30mph routes where they will be installed . The cameras are scheduled to become operational in March , with signs being erected ' well ahead ' of the activation date to ensure public awareness of each new zone . Data indicates that locations across Coventry with average speed cameras have seen a significant impact . Transport for West Midlands ( TfWM ) . has stated that in recent years they have contributed to over a 40 per cent decrease in personal injury collisions . Commenter Eugeneaustin007 says : " It 's about time they put cameras up along Aldermans , Green Road and Parrots Grove . I 've been trying for years to get something done there .

Plymouth Argyle have been heavily praised after their superb FA Cup victory over Liverpool on Sunday - and the Pilgrims followed that incredible result with a five-star display against Millwall at Home Park last night . The Greens recorded their biggest win of the Championship campaign and also moved off the bottom of the table . Exactly three weeks after their humiliating 5-0 home drubbing by Burnley , Miron Muslic 's resurgent Pilgrims made it three wins in a row in all competitions by thrashing the Lions 5-1 . In the latest episode of Stick to Football , brought to you by Sky Bet , Gary Neville and the panel discussed the latest talking points in the Premier League , including Argyle 's shock win . " You can never say the title race is over when there is a team that is in it . You have to believe that something is going to happen . You just have to look at Liverpool and how they get through these five games , " said Ian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " I loved listening to Arne Slot after the Plymouth Argyle game because he was disgusted , and he was fuming . It was a good one -- it was not out of control , and he was very concise with his anger . It 's like he could n't believe it . " Plymouth had one of those performances that was historic and some of those players played the best football match of their life . " Jill Scott , speaking on the Stick to Football podcast , brought to you by Sky Bet , said she felt like Argyle " got a lift " out of seeing that Liverpool 's star players did not travel to Home Park . The former England midfielder said she felt Mohammed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk should have been on the bench . She said : " When you talk about the psychological side of things , Plymouth Argyle have seen that there 's no Mohamed Salah , no Virgil Van Dijk and no Alexis Mac Allister -- and they got a lift out of it . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , do n't make them travel because of the whole mental rest and everything . However , I did find it quite surprising that they were n't even on the bench . " Manchester City for example , they had Kevin De Bruyne and had those players on the bench . " Speaking on the same podcast , Gary Neville said he felt sorry for the Liverpool players . " I feel some sympathy for the players -- when you play players who have n't been playing every week , you 're down on fitness , he said . " You 're all coming together , and you have n't got the stability , sometimes you can get caught out . It 's not easy . " |

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('she 's been talked out of deleting her social media accounts'). It involves a prevention interpretation where the subject (she) was prevented from performing the action (deleting her social media accounts) by means of talking. The verb 'talked' fits into the category of verbs that appear in the V1 slot by means of verbal persuasion. The NP object 'her' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Robbie Williams ' daughter looks to be following her dad into stardom , having secured a role in a major upcoming film . Theodora - better known as Teddy - has been seen filming for a new Christmas movie , Tinsel Town . Although only 12 years old , Teddy looked more than comfortable as she stood on a street with Hollywood star Rebel Wilson , and reportedly has her sights on making a career out of acting . " Teddy was born to be a star - after all , her parents are both the ultimate performers , " a source told The Sun , adding that Robbie and wife Ayda Field wanted to " keep her out of the spotlight for as long as possible " as the daughter of such a famous couple . " This is all very much being driven by Teddy who 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to talk !

While Teddy has her sights set on the silver screen , the Williams family have been repeatedly asked to show their family life on reality TV .

Prince Harry says he has therapy to help cope with hearing heartbreaking stories from brave injured military veterans taking part in the Invictus Games . The poignant admission came in as the Duke spoke with veteran Mark Beare , who suffered from PTSD as a result of listening to the trauma and grief of other soldiers - many of which lost friends in combat . Like Prince Harry , the former Canadian soldier served Afghanistan . As Commanding Officer , Beare said that soldiers would often lean on him with their traumatic stories and after years of taking on that emotional weight , he hit a point where it became impossible to process . Prince Harry with army veteran Mark Beare ( Image : CTV News ) " Towards the end of my career , I was diagnosed with PTSD Post Traumatic Stress disorder and MDD Major Depressive Disorder and it really rocked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with Canadian news channel CTV News . " I felt like I was broken and that I had failed . " The veteran then explained that he did n't share his diagnosis with his extended family until 12 months ago , and credits the Games for helping him start the conversation . As Harry listened to Beare 's powerful story , he revealed that as founder of the Games and as a combat veteran , he resonated with the emotional toll of hearing from soldiers who have suffered life-altering injuries and PTSD from serving in war zones . In the pre-recorded interview , TV anchor Omar Sachedina asks the prince : " Some of this is so raw and so painful . How do you find the strength to keep listening ? " Prince Harry with members of Team Canada at the Invictus Games ( Image : Invictus Games Foundation via Ge ) In response , the duke , who served two tours in Afghanistan during his 10-year army career , said : " I do my own therapy . I think it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ individuals who help other people , that you also need to find a place to be able to relieve that pressure on yourself . I try to give some advice . I try to connect the dots . I tell those individuals that they have the support structure around them .

You know , if there would be a time and a place for that , and timing is everything , and the last thing I want to do is be the person to probe a little bit deeper .

And being able to serve , I guess , is part of my service , and being able to use the position , the platform , and the spotlight gives these guys all the attention and the opportunity . " It 's not the first time that Harry has candidly opened up about his own therapy . The Duke has previously said he sought professional help to cope with the loss of his mother , Princess Diana . He used a special therapy programme called EMDR to process the loss , and said that living with the trauma of his mother made him feel ' helpless ' , ' hunted ' and as if ' there is no escape ' .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'out of buying, preparing and eating game' does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate that induces a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Everything we sell is on our website and from our website , " says Robert . ( Image : Lucy Taylor ) " The website just went mad during covid and lockdowns , " he explains . " We just could n't keep up . " Meantime , other income streams - such as supplying trade - vanished overnight as restaurants and hotels were shut or their business curtailed . " At the same time Brexit happened and it meant exports were no longer viable for us because of the export costs , " he explains .

This led to a huge spike in costs which affected the business significantly in terms of its bottom line . But with that crisis now in its rear view mirror , the company - which enjoys a turnover of between ? 1m to ? 2m a year - is seeing a steady rise in in sales , with the online business growing at a rate of 15% a year .

" The nine-strong team is smaller than it would have been pre-Brexit and now focuses on that " high value " market . Their unit - which includes a cutting room and cold store - is based on a farm site owned by Robert 's wife , Nicola , and her sisters .

At one time , the company 's game would go to lucrative markets in Europe - but that avenue is now shut off . " Shoots used to sell it and it would go and make a contributions towards the running of an estate or running a shoot , " he says .

" My expertise is in policy - you are negotiating with government about rules , dealing with legislators and policymakers . " He feels strongly that Brexit was a big mistake - and is scathing about government 's approach to farm policy now feeling it has added to the sense of uncertainty .

Rashford and Asensio put on a short show in their respective debuts against Tottenham Hotspur last time out , with the latter particularly silky . All of a sudden , the depth of Unai Emery 's frontline is worthy of a place in the Champions League for a second season on the bounce . According to The Boot Room , Aston Villa are now keen to sign Nico Williams ahead of Barcelona and Premier League rivals Arsenal this summer . The Athletic Bilbao winger lit up Euro 2024 , but has struggled to find his best form ever since . Aware of what he can do when firing on all cylinders , however , Villa could yet trigger his reported ? 48m release clause . The Villa boss is interested in signing a defender who he believes could become a key player . Posts A move which considers Emery 's long-term options to replace loanees such as Rashford and Asensio , Williams could quickly rediscover his red-hot Euros form at Villa Park this summer , should he complete a move . Following a disappointing season , the Spaniard should look to depart as soon as possible this summer and earn the big move that many believed he 'd earn after Euro 2024 last year . Receiving plenty of praise even amid his struggles at times in recent months , analyst Ben Mattinson dubbed Williams a " relentless dribbler " at the beginning of the year . Whether that sees Aston Villa swoop in remains to be seen , but there 's no doubt that Emery certainly knows how to get the best out of exciting talents of Williams ' calibre . |

Leeds want to sign Manor Solomon permanently and it could have ramifications for Willy Gnonto Leeds United do plan to open talks with Tottenham over a permanent transfer for Manor Solomon this summer -- and the possibility of Willy Gnonto leaving Elland Road this summer can not be ruled out , according to sources . A lot of the Whites ' business will be dependent on them securing promotion to the Premier League and several targets are being looked at with a view to that happening . Leeds currently currently sit top of the Championship table , two points ahead of second-placed side Sheffield United , and considered favourites to lift the title at this stage . Solomon , 25 , has played a key role in the success of Daniel Farke 's side , with the winger making 11 goal contributions ( 5 goals , 6 assists ) in Leeds ' last 11 league games -- none of which they 've lost . TEAMtalk understands that Leeds @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and will hold talks with Tottenham in the summer , although his loan deal does n't include a buy option . The Israeli international joined Spurs as a free agent in 2023 , after leaving Shakhtar Donetsk , becoming one of Ange Postecoglou 's first signings . However , he failed to break into the starting XI , hence why he was allowed to join Leeds on loan , where he has stood out a mile and played a major role in their promotion push . Leeds want to keep him for next season , but sources suggest a sale of Gnonto may be required to make it possible . We understand that there is a possibility Gnonto leaves Leeds this summer , and while the club is geared up for a return to the Premier League , there are reasons why the Italy winger could still depart Elland Road . He has been left out of starting XIs by Farke recently , who seems to prefer Dan James and Solomon off his wings . And while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unlikely to push for a move , sources have told us that the Italy international is not happy at playing second fiddle and could yet move on if a presentable offer arrives at Elland Road . Gnonto is no stranger to transfer speculation having submitted a formal transfer request to join Everton in the summer of 2023 -- a move that ultimately did n't come to fruition due to the Toffees ' being unable to match Leeds ' price demands . Everton 's sporting director Kevin Thelwell has kept close tabs on Gnonto since and he remains of interest to the Merseyside club , with another approach being considered for this summer . It 's also worth noting that Gnonto has signed a new Leeds contract since then , which is valid until 2028 , and the player does remain happy with the Yorkshire team and the direction at which the club are heading . However , sources insist that his failure to command a regular place in the side this season -- and having to largely contend himself with a substitute 's role , leaves @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ considered by all parties . As mentioned , Everton remain keen on the 21-year-old and have him shortlisted alongside West Brom 's Tom Fellows , as TEAMtalk 's Harry Watkinson has reported , but the Toffees could face competition from LaLiga and Serie A sides for Gnonto . Farke likes to have four winger targets available to him at all times , so whether the Whites sanction his exit would depend entirely on not just Solomon signing from Tottenham , but the ability to bring in another winger as well . Solomon has refused to rule out a permanent move to Elland Road , having revealed the one condition that must be matched if he is to quit Spurs , while Cameron Archer 's true feelings on failing to join the Whites has emerged |

There is n't much I love more than a bargain . You 're either one of those people that prefer to mad dash and ca n't wait to get out of the shops , or you love a long and considered browse and are obsessed with Aldi 's middle aisle of goodies . Myself , I am sorry to say , am the latter . It 's why I love the likes of Home Bargains and TK Maxx - a haven where I find myself scouring the shelves and end up picking up random items I never knew I needed or wanted . That 's why I was thrilled when the Trade Outlet announced they were opening a new warehouse store in Greater Manchester earlier this week . It is the second to open its doors in the region , along with a shop in Ashton-in-Makerfield . If you have n't heard of it , you may have been living under a rock . Famed on the likes of TikTok and Instagram for their deals and loved by budget-hack influencers , the company clears excess inventory @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has opened up in Trafford ( Image : Manchester Evening News ) The stores are simply flogging a huge range of overstock , customer returns and clearance goods to the likes of eBay and Amazon , as well as items from Facebook Marketplace aficionados . Imagine it as more of an indoor , slightly better organised , car boot sale . Now , a quick disclaimer . If you get overwhelmed by the chaos of a messy sales rack , or do n't have the patience to spend hours rifling through shelves and heaps of products to find bargains , then it might not be for you . I headed down to the new Trafford store , at Bridgewater Point on Barton Dock Road days after its opening to see what it was all about , how I found my shopping experience and most importantly , weigh up how much I could really get for my money . Blink and you might miss it . The warehouse is situated at the end of a row in a business park with a tiny yellow sign outside which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in my car past a load of empty plots . The store is located next to the huge Kellogg 's factory ( Image : Manchester Evening News ) Once parked up , I headed inside and was greeted with a huge warehouse space , with shelves and aisles filled with miscellaneous items . It seemed a little emptier than I first anticipated , and I swiftly realised that despite the labelled rows , there really was n't much rhyme or reason to the way the shelves were laid out . I was left completely baffled . There is some effort made to group similar items together in different areas of the warehouse - but beyond these vague categories , it 's every man for himself . For a Thursday afternoon and so close to the Trafford Centre , it was also much quieter than I had expected , with just a handful of shoppers slowly trailing round with their baskets , but maybe that 's just because the word has n't gotten out about the new store just yet . First up upon entering were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Everything was mis-matched and the items I did pick up were sizes way too big or small for me . But I spotted that some breathable men 's boxers were just ? 2 and a number of women 's purses were priced between ? 1 and ? 3 . Quite a number of items are in the plain brown delivery boxes that the likes of Amazon use . Therefore , you need to read every tiny label to find out what is inside , and even then you do n't get chance to see them because they are sealed . Even for me this became a little bit tiring , you really do need to be willing to sieve through the shelves one by one to find something you might want to buy . A huge heap of medium and large-sized boxes were piled up in the centre of the room . ' Mystery boxes ' the sign on the wall reads . The packages are a completely random mix of products from the warehouse , including new and untested items , worth over ? 200 . But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a small box and ? 35 for a jumbo box . Mystery boxes were on sale ( Image : Manchester Evening News ) I must admit , it did seem like quite the bargain , and if you have the money to spend , it could be well worth it . I did give it some consideration , but it felt like too much of a risk had I been disappointed with everything inside . If you 're indecisive when it comes to parting with cash , it 's unlikely this will be the purchase for you . Next up was health and beauty , followed by the automotive aisle and then the DIY and fitness rows . I could n't quite get over the sheer amount of variety , from diffuser oils , to makeup , hair brushes , false eyelashes , vanity mirrors and even breast pumps , all thrown together . There were homeware and comfort items too , including a very random mix of curtain poles , shower shelves , a fold-out table and chairs set for ? 25 , rugs , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ beds at ? 4 , a tap water purifier at ? 4.60 , foot and massagers , grilling BBQ tools for ? 4.83 and fold out laundry baskets for ? 4.35 . Alongside the labels are the RRP prices of the items , which are often more than three times the amount that they are re-sold for at the Trade Outlet . The boxes can often look a little worse for wear but if you can see past that , there are massive bargains to be had . I almost bought an electronic filter coffee machine , down to just ? 3.40 from ? 33.98 , but decided against it as I already have a Nespresso one at home . The tech aisle was where I was the most impressed . This is when items started to fill up my small basket on wheels . I picked up a digital projector , priced at just ? 10 from ? 55.99 , a wireless keyboard and computer mouse for ? 1.98 down from ? 19.79 and a laptop sleeve for just 97p . I also bought an LED mirror @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ microphone kit for ? 5.45 - priced originally at ? 32.72 . An LED 22-inch screen was on sale for ? 18.80 down from ? 104.99 and computer screens costing ? 15.41 with an original price of ? 79.99 . Now , it is worth nothing that with many electrical items , the labels will clearly state if they are used , new or untested . The company does n't offer returns as it operates outside of the typical consumer legislation , so it is a bit of a risk as to whether they will work or not once you take them out of the box at home . I do n't have children , but for shoppers on the hunt for kids ' toys or games , then the Trade Outlet good be the place to pick up or bargain or buy some additional Christmas or birthday goodies . There were entire sections filled with building blocks , books , toys , puzzles and other fun items . And for pet owners , there was also a wide selection of pet items , including harnesses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ till after around 45 minutes of browsing , with some success , my total came to ? 24.40 . However , had I have bought all the items at their original selling prices , it would have set me back ? 125.78 That is a saving of 80 per cent . Result ! I left feeling pretty pleased with my basket . I was pretty pleased with my bargain hunting skills If you 're the type who gets a kick out of finding a steal , loves shopping and loves fishing through piles of useless tat until you find what you 're after , then it could be well worth a visit . It 's worth noting that you do need to sign up as a member , which is free , but this can be done online in advance or at the till during your visit . It 's certainly not for everyone , and the stock really is the luck of the draw on the day . But for bargain hunters or talented resellers that could flog the items for profit , it 's a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be back for . The Trade Outlet store is open Monday to Saturday from 10am until 5pm , and is situated at Unit 9 Bridgewater Point , Barton Dock Road . The Wigan store , open at the same times , can be found at Unit 4 Lockett Road , Ashton-in-Makerfield. |

Well , you have to wait some time for the actual process to happen , but it 's all performed automatically , there 's no brain-ache or puzzling over options involved . A barebones debloat is what many folks will run -- just a straightforward stripping out of all the crud from Windows 11 -- but other options can then add some ( hopefully ) useful apps back for you . For example , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will run the debloat and then install the likes of Discord and Steam . You can find out more about Talon by watching the YouTube video below , and you can download the utility here ( but have a quick read of my analysis underneath the video clip before you do so ) . I 've got to say , I really like the philosophy of Talon , which is to take all the hassle out of debloating . Sign up for breaking news , reviews , opinion , top tech deals , and more . Contact me with news and offers from other Future brandsReceive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsorsBy submitting your information you agree to the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over . As Raven points out in the above video , a typical debloating tool will be a maze of check @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ PowerShell commands . Tasks that less tech-savvy Windows 11 users will doubtless find difficult or even arcane . So , taking all the pain out of that is a commendable goal . What Talon is really doing is bundling a bunch of these trickier utilities in a user-friendly , automated package . ( For the curious , the tools drafted in under the bonnet of Talon include ChrisTitusTech 's WinUtil and Raphi 's Win11Debloat , which are the main engines of what 's happening here ) . However , with any third-party app , you must be cautious . Ultimately , whether you want to install any piece of software is a decision that you must take yourself , especially when it comes to lesser-known developers . However , Talon appears to be laudably transparent in the interview given to TweakTown , and one definite positive is that the code for the tool is open source and can be viewed and checked by anyone . ( So , if there are flaws or anything amiss , hopefully they 'll be shouted about ) . The developer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ software , as mentioned , any vulnerabilities in those would also apply to the app itself ( obviously ) . I 'll leave the final words to the developer , as quoted from the TweakTown interview : " While it is possible for a supply chain attack to occur , where one of these third-party utilities gets compromised then Talon is inherently compromised as a result , they are very popular utilities with lots of eyes on their code , and with extremely talented and trusted maintainers . " " The rest of Talon is done through homemade scripts that we maintain . At the end of the day , the possibility of malware injection , a supply chain attack , or whatever else , is there for any software , no matter the size of the team or the popularity of a project . We will do our best to ensure that this day never comes , though , and if it does we will address it as fast as possible to ensure minimal impact .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses the phrase 'take the pain out of parking', where 'parking' is a noun (gerund) and not part of a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either movement/extraction or prevention.

Tony Hetherington is Financial Mail on Sunday 's ace investigator , fighting readers corners , revealing the truth that lies behind closed doors and winning victories for those who have been left out-of-pocket . Find out how to contact him below . A.H . writes : In May 2023 I parked at The Royal Telegraph , a Marston 's pub in Derby . I discovered the payment system had changed , with cash or card no longer an option . I followed instructions and paid ? 2.70 by phone , using my Mastercard . There was no receipt but I later received a parking charge notice demanding ? 100 . Tony Hetherington replies : The demand for ? 100 was just the opening shot in a battle that has lasted two years . Tech trouble : Parkingeye uses an automated system When the letter arrived from the car park operator , Parkingeye , you appealed and produced your credit card statement which clearly shows payment of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which says it aims to ' find a way to take the pain out of parking ' . You might have thought that proof of payment would be the end of the matter , but a fortnight later Parkingeye replied . It wanted a copy of the printed parking ticket , which was impossible as no ticket was provided , or confirmation of payment to Paybyphone , which you had supplied . Next came a rejection of your appeal by Parkingeye , which suggested you could try again by contacting the industry 's private appeals service Popla . Then , in October 2023 , you were told this had failed , that the payment now due had risen to ? 120 and that you should be prepared to be taken to court and face further costs . However , no court case followed . Instead , last year you received a series of demands from Direct Collection Bailiffs Ltd , a Runcorn firm of debt collectors . The letters ended in December with one from their solicitors demanding ? 170 . After you contacted me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It told me quite quickly that it had no record of any payment on the day in question that matched your number plate . In fact , it had only seven drivers that used Paybyphone that day , and none of their number plates was even close to yours . I also contacted the debt collectors , who helpfully agreed to back off while I investigated . Finally I started to work backwards . If your credit card statement showed a payment of ? 2.70 -- which it did -- then what did you get in return ? The statement confirms that your money went to Paybyphone Chorley , so I asked the firm to say what had happened to it . The explanation may be worrying for lots of drivers , particularly as more and more car parks seem to be abandoning machines that accept cash or credit and debit cards . Your call to Paybyphone was answered automatically by what it calls an ' interactive voice response ' system , and it told me you had given your number plate incorrectly . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you said -- perhaps because of your voice or accent -- or does it mean that for some reason you gave the wrong reg number ? Paybyphone replied that it was impossible to answer . All it could say was you confirmed the number and it was wrong . Whether this had anything to do with your speech is unclear . However , Paybyphone 's confirmation that you had paid has been enough for it to withdraw its claims completely and to call off the debt collectors . And if you fancy returning to The Royal Telegraph in Derby , there is no need for concern as Marston 's says that it no longer uses Parkingeye . After the most recent call , I received an email which I am forwarding to you . I presume this is a scam , but I look forward to hearing your thoughts . Tony Hetherington replies : You are right , this is a scam . But it 's not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scam . Real deal : Peaky Blinders ' Tommy Shelby The email you received came from Trustfunds Ltd , which claims to be an established business assisting law enforcement in fighting fraud , particularly cybercrime . However , its website at trustfunds.ltd is only a few months old , with fees paid for just one year , which is typically a sign that whoever is running it does not intend to stick around for long . Who is running it ? Well , it was registered by someone who gave his name as Tommy Shelby -- the lead character in the BBC 's Birmingham-based gangster drama Peaky Blinders ! So is Trustfunds based in Birmingham ? No , it uses an address in Amsterdam which belongs to a firm that takes in mail or answers the phone for anyone who pays , whether they are really there or not . However , the website is not registered there . Instead , Tommy Shelby gives an address in Delaware , USA -- which turned out to be a local airport . As for the website @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the worst scam sites I have seen . It refers to its terms and conditions as ' trams and condition ' -- not that it matters as clicking on the link leads nowhere . My guess is that the calls you received are meant to lead to a demand for an upfront fee , supposedly to cover legal costs or taxes . In return you will be promised a huge sum from some investment they will say you forgot about making years ago but which has miraculously worked out well . I wanted to ask Trustfunds to confirm this , but when I rang its Netherlands number no one answered . These are very , very poor fraudsters .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It describes a situation where Europe is left out of peacemaking, but this does not involve a verb in the V1 slot causing an NP object to move out of or be prevented from an action described by a VP2[-ing] predicate. The phrase 'left out of peacemaking' does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction as it lacks the necessary components and interpretations.

Democrats have increasingly pitched the need to build their power at the state level as a way to combat Republican gains .

After the Office of Management and Budget briefly paused federal assistance , Louisiana Republican Gov . Jeff Landry and other state leaders asked OMB to " develop a responsible runway to untangle us from any unnecessary and egregious policies without jeopardizing the financial stability of the state .

School choice supporters argue vouchers and other programs allow students to attend better schools or institutions that meet their needs . Opponents argue the programs defund public schools , and that private , religious and charter schools are n't subject to the same level of oversight as public schools .

Seth Herald/Reuters In Tennessee , lawmakers passed an immigration enforcement bill this month that would create a new division within the state 's Department of Safety to coordinate with the federal government on immigration enforcement . It would also make it a felony for local officials to adopt so-called sanctuary policies and allow them to be removed from office once convicted .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It involves the verb 'get' with an NP object 'so much pleasure' and the phrase 'out of doing what I do' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee, and the phrase 'make hay out of farming' does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to be using 'out of' in a different, possibly idiomatic, sense.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'make hay out of farming' does not involve a causee NP object participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to be a metaphorical expression about deriving benefit from farming, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. While it includes 'out of being a solo traveller', the verb 'take' does not fit the semantic classes of verbs that typically appear in the V1 slot of the construction, and the NP object 'all the hassle' does not function as a causee. Additionally, the sentence does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes how group trips for families can reduce stress related to traveling with children, which does not involve a causer causing a causee to move out of or be prevented from an action denoted by a VP[-ing] predicate. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The company is one of the market leaders in what it calls " social travel " and says it has seen a 100 per cent increase in bookings since 2022 . " I think we 've all become much more aware of the effects of loneliness and people do n't want to wait for their partner and their friends to book a trip -- they want to travel now .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate that would induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'out of fishing' is used in a different context, referring to what people can obtain from the activity of fishing, not involving causation or prevention.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'get what they want to out of fishing', where 'fishing' is a noun (gerund) and not part of a VP[-ing] predicate that would induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The construction here is more about obtaining something from an activity rather than causing or preventing an action, which does not align with the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object between the verb 'got' and 'out of protecting people'. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the construction. Instead, 'out of protecting people' seems to indicate the source or reason for the 'real buzz', which is not a feature of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Suffice to say , he 'll have his work cut out for him in this season -- if that opening flash-forward is any indication -- with fans all eagerly speculating over who this chapter 's mystery body ( or bodies ) will be . While The White Lotus season 3 cast has a number of famous faces , Thapthimthong is a relative unknown , who stands to gain a major new following from the HBO drama -- here 's everything you need to know about the British-Thai actor . Lalisa Manobal and Tayme Thapthimthong in The White Lotus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Gaitok in The White Lotus season 3 , who finds himself enraptured by his colleague and friend Mook ( played by K-pop star Lalisa Manobal ) . It 's a line of work that Thapthimthong is n't entirely unfamiliar with , having worked as a nightclub bouncer from the age of just 18 in London , where he was also born and raised . " I loved it because I got a real buzz out of protecting people , " he told Lifestyle Asia in a recent interview . " I 've never started a fight in my life . I only intervene and try to stop it . " The job came after years training as an Army cadet , which culminated in Thapthimthong attempting to join the Royal Marines ; an opportunity which he narrowly missed out on due to failing his medical check . " Even though I did n't qualify to join the Marines , I had an amazing opportunity to train with a retired SAS soldier before returning to Thailand , " recalled Thapthimthong in the same interview . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how to survive in the wilderness one-on-one . The lessons I learned from him have had a significant impact on the way I live my life and the way I think . " As outlined above , Thapthimthong has no formal acting training , with his nascent screen career coming about partly due to his appearance on Thai singing competition Academy Fantasia . Similar in style to the likes of The X Factor and Pop Idol , Thapthimthong 's runner-up placement in the 2013 season garnered him national recognition in Thailand , leading to acting roles in Farang and Hooked . Western audiences may recognise him from Netflix original series Thai Cave Rescue , based on the extraordinary true story , or from Acorn TV 's Swedish detective drama B ? ckstr ? m . Speaking about his co-star , Blackpink singer Lalisa Manobal ( aka LISA ) , Thapthimthong said : " I am so grateful and honoured to have this opportunity to represent Thailand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " I had such an amazing time shooting this project and ca n't wait for you guys to watch it . " David Craig is the Senior Drama Writer for Radio Times , covering the latest and greatest scripted drama and comedy across television and streaming . Previously , he worked at Starburst Magazine , presented The Winter King Podcast for ITVX and studied Journalism at the University of Sheffield . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Additionally, it does not exhibit either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'snap out of trying to accommodate a flawed build' suggests a change in behavior rather than causation or prevention by an agent.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'snap out of trying to accommodate' does not involve a clear causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Additionally, the verb 'gotten' does not fit the typical verb classifications for the V1 slot in the construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee and does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes an attempt to create something from a material that cannot be transformed into that thing, which is unrelated to the transitive out of -ing construction.

From the verge of history to utter heartbreak . The heroes of Celtic pushed Bayern Munich to the very limit on their own patch , before a devastating , last-gasp gut-punch from Alphonso Davies brought their Champions League adventure to the cruellest of finales . The final mission statement from Brendan Rodgers to his players before what looked to be the almost impossible task that lay ahead of them in overcoming Bayern Munich in the spectacular , imposing Allianz Arena was simple -- no regrets . But oh , how there may well be just a few lingering in their systems after an incredibly gallant effort in Bavaria , and how a few of the men in green who have so much reason to hold their heads up high , may nonetheless find sleep hard to come by when their heads eventually hit the pillow upon their return to Glasgow . What there should be more than anything though is immense pride . Celtic started this Champions League campaign in this very country like startled rabbits in the bright yellow headlights of Borussia Dortmund , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how much they had learned along the way . They were calm and composed in possession . They were organised and cohesive in their shape and in their pressing . They were focused and diligent in their defending . They were incredibly hard done by , in the end . The one big regret is that they did n't reward themselves for all that good work early on by being ruthless in their finishing , carving out more opportunities in the opening quarter of an hour -- and clear-cut ones at that -- than they may have expected to over the course of the entire match . Given how the relentless energy of Daizen Maeda had reshaped the final stages of the first leg at Celtic Park when he was shunted through the middle , it was no surprise to see Rodgers deploy him there from the start here , with Jota brought in on the left . Clearly , Rodgers himself did n't want to have any cause for regret having not been bold , and with Kuhn rounding off a dynamic front three , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the hosts problems . And boy , how they did . Maeda , aided and abetted by the high-pressing Reo Hatate , was straight on the front foot , buzzing around Kim Min-jae and blocking his attempted clearance . They were backed up by their captain , with Callum McGregor smothering Michael Olise and forcing him to cough up the ball in the midfield . He exchanged a one-two with Maeda , and suddenly , was scarpering through towards Manuel Neuer . McGregor has made a habit of scoring from range this season , but this time , he had n't quite tuned in his sights just yet , and fired high and wide of the target . Still , it was an encouraging early sign , and soon , Celtic carved out an even better opportunity as Jota showed what he can bring to the party . The winger showed great feet to skin Josip Stanisic , got his head up and picked out Kuhn at the back post . The former Bayern prospect took a touch , and with Neuer bearing down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could n't quite the required force into his effort and Raphael Guerreiro scrambled it clear off the line . There were gasps all around at the ease at which Celtic were cutting Bayern open , but the locals barely had time to pick their jaws up off the floor before they were aghast again , as the impressive Arne Engels got in down the right and measured up his options . Maeda was haring into the centre of goal , but Engels ' low cross just had too much pace on it , evading his teammate 's desperate lunge by mere millimetres . Bayern , so unflustered in Glasgow , were rattled in their own back yard . Dayot Upamecano fluffed a clearance , presenting the ball to Kuhn , who in turn quickly presented it to Maeda . But this time , the forward snatched at his attempted chip , and Vincent Kompany 's men were off the hook again . This was all in the opening 16 minutes . As that remarkable early flurry subsided , you expected a ferocious Bayern response . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ placing the ball wide . And just on the half-time whistle , an otherwise peripheral Harry Kane planted the ball off the face of the crossbar . But that was about it from the out-of-sorts Bundesliga leaders . Kane , still toiling clearly from the knock he picked up in the weekend draw against Bayer Leverkusen , did n't reappear for the second half , and you sensed the chances of Celtic pulling off an almighty upset just increasing again ever so slightly . The question was , when their next big chance came , could they finally take it ? You bet they could . Just after the hour , Maeda did what Maeda does , chasing a hopeful Adam Idah pass and making something out of nothing . He forced the ball through towards Kuhn coming in off the right , but he looked second favourite before Kim made a hash of his attempted slide tackle , coughing the ball up , and suddenly Kuhn could see the whites of Neuer 's eyes again . This time , he did n't blink @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wedge of Celtic fans who were already up in the gods further up still , and all the way into heaven . Would it be enough to push them into the last 16 of the Champions League against all the odds ? Crushingly , it would not be . With seconds remaining of the four added minutes of stoppage time , Kasper Schmeichel made a wonder save , but as the ball broke , Cameron Carter-Vickers could only force his desperate clearance off Davies on the line , and the ball nestled into the net . Technically , a failure to progress , perhaps . But there was n't a failure among them . None of it will feel particularly glorious to Rodgers and his men just at the moment , but this was an unbelievable effort , and Celtic deserved so much more .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes an action (making something out of nothing) without involving a causee or a VP[-ing] predicate that would fit the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'out of nothing' is a prepositional phrase modifying 'making', not part of the construction in question.

Given how the relentless energy of Daizen Maeda had reshaped the final stages of the first leg at Celtic Park when he was shunted through the middle , it was no surprise to see Rodgers deploy him there from the start here , with Jota brought in on the left . Clearly , Rodgers himself did n't want to have any cause for regret having not been bold , and with Kuhn rounding off a dynamic front three , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the hosts problems . And boy , how they did . Maeda , aided and abetted by the high-pressing Reo Hatate , was straight on the front foot , buzzing around Kim Min-jae and blocking his attempted clearance . They were backed up by their captain , with Callum McGregor smothering Michael Olise and forcing him to cough up the ball in the midfield . He exchanged a one-two with Maeda , and suddenly , was scarpering through towards Manuel Neuer . McGregor has made a habit of scoring from range this season , but this time , he had n't quite tuned in his sights just yet , and fired high and wide of the target . Still , it was an encouraging early sign , and soon , Celtic carved out an even better opportunity as Jota showed what he can bring to the party . The winger showed great feet to skin Josip Stanisic , got his head up and picked out Kuhn at the back post . The former Bayern prospect took a touch , and with Neuer bearing down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could n't quite the required force into his effort and Raphael Guerreiro scrambled it clear off the line . There were gasps all around at the ease at which Celtic were cutting Bayern open , but the locals barely had time to pick their jaws up off the floor before they were aghast again , as the impressive Arne Engels got in down the right and measured up his options . Maeda was haring into the centre of goal , but Engels ' low cross just had too much pace on it , evading his teammate 's desperate lunge by mere millimetres . Bayern , so unflustered in Glasgow , were rattled in their own back yard . Dayot Upamecano fluffed a clearance , presenting the ball to Kuhn , who in turn quickly presented it to Maeda . But this time , the forward snatched at his attempted chip , and Vincent Kompany 's men were off the hook again . This was all in the opening 16 minutes . As that remarkable early flurry subsided , you expected a ferocious Bayern response . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ placing the ball wide . And just on the half-time whistle , an otherwise peripheral Harry Kane planted the ball off the face of the crossbar . But that was about it from the out-of-sorts Bundesliga leaders . Kane , still toiling clearly from the knock he picked up in the weekend draw against Bayer Leverkusen , did n't reappear for the second half , and you sensed the chances of Celtic pulling off an almighty upset just increasing again ever so slightly . The question was , when their next big chance came , could they finally take it ? You bet they could . Just after the hour , Maeda did what Maeda does , chasing a hopeful Adam Idah pass and making something out of nothing . He forced the ball through towards Kuhn coming in off the right , but he looked second favourite before Kim made a hash of his attempted slide tackle , coughing the ball up , and suddenly Kuhn could see the whites of Neuer 's eyes again . This time , he did n't blink @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wedge of Celtic fans who were already up in the gods further up still , and all the way into heaven . Would it be enough to push them into the last 16 of the Champions League against all the odds ? Crushingly , it would not be . With seconds remaining of the four added minutes of stoppage time , Kasper Schmeichel made a wonder save , but as the ball broke , Cameron Carter-Vickers could only force his desperate clearance off Davies on the line , and the ball nestled into the net . Technically , a failure to progress , perhaps . But there was n't a failure among them . None of it will feel particularly glorious to Rodgers and his men just at the moment , but this was an unbelievable effort , and Celtic deserved so much more .

If they 're being honest , I do n't think many Bristol City fans will feel that Cardiff City did n't deserve something out of the Severnside derby game . Once again on Saturday lunchtime , us Robins fans were left with a feeling of d ? j ? vu and another case of what might have been . It was another game that we let a lead slip late on and poor substitutions , game management and tactical awareness cost us . In his post-match press interviews frustrated head coach Liam Manning felt the congested Championship schedule had a part to play in his side not coming away with the all-important victory . Manning said , " I feel for the lads a little bit because they left it all out there . When you look at it the schedule is just ridiculous this week , I do n't get why we have to play at 12:30 today . " We 've had a day less and I just think it becomes a little bit neglectful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unnecessarily . I do n't get why we 've done this week . We played Sunday , we played Wednesday night , and we 've played early on a Saturday . It 's just unnecessary for me , I do n't understand why they do it . " I agree with Liam on the scheduling , however , I do n't agree that to a player , the " lads " left it all out there . There were several poor performances from Manning 's side and only a few of the team really put everything into it . The Championship is relentless but it 's the same for all teams in the league and it was the head coach himself that opted to name an unchanged starting line-up . If Liam was concerned about the congestion and the impact that it would have then why not change it ? That 's what a squad is for and with all the analysts and information available you should know the loads that players can cope with . Ross McCrorie left the field with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ minute and was that down to the load placed on him ? We wish Ross well and a speedy recovery . On Wednesday night Mark Sykes played right wing-back and delivered a superb cross into the box from for Anis Mehmeti to open the scoring . McCrorie was many fans ' man of the match playing as a left wing-back against Stoke City and yet Liam opted to switch them both around on Saturday and I would love to understand why . Similarly , the head coach opted to switch Anis Mehmeti and Scott Twine around . Why ? In various pre-match interviews , a few players referenced the importance of the Severnside derby game but perhaps only Zak Vyner and Max O'Leary are aware of just how much it means to us fans . Certainly , for the opening period of the game or in fact the first half you would n't have known that this was a derby game . Where was the blood and thunder ? Where was the absolute determination to win the battle ? It was one of the most abject displays @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nowhere near the levels that I would expect in a game of this magnitude and in a game that had we won , would have seen us occupy the final play-off place , even if only for a couple of hours . I ca n't help but wonder if this squad truly believe that they can make the play-offs this season . Two weeks running we have been presented with an opportunity to get into the top six and on both occasions we have failed to rise to the occasion . I wonder if the never getting too high and never getting too low emotions displayed by Manning have an impact . Do we need more emotion ? As I said , the first half was pretty much a non-event . The switch of Sykes and McCrorie did n't work and was obvious from early on . Why not change it back ? Mehmeti , who was good on Wednesday night and scored twice , could n't get into the game and Twine was anonymous . There is no doubting our marquee summer signing 's ability to unlock @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but he must give us more than that . I get the argument that Twine can score a goal out of nothing but is that enough at the business end of the season ? I expect more from a player of Twine 's ability and I 'm assuming by his halftime substitution that Manning feels the same . Twine was booked for dissent , having been denied a free-kick which looking back on the TV , possibly should have been given . Again the number 10 's reputation perhaps goes before him . Referees almost expect him to simulate a foul and do n't award a free-kick even when Twine has been fouled . I think that 's six bookings for Twine and I reckon four or five of them have been for dissent . Sykes , who received treatment in the pre-match warm-up , was also withdrawn at halftime , with Yu Hirakawa and Sam Bell coming on . I 'm sounding more and more like a broken record , but you have a ready-made left wing-back in Elijah Morrison on the bench but choose once again @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? Haydon Roberts is n't playing to the levels needed , with the exception of the Stoke City game , so just give the lad a chance . Elijah Morrison has n't played for Bristol City since their defeat to Sheffield United ( Image : Photo by Dan Istitene/Getty Images ) The second half did improve and there were some positives . Sinclair Armstrong put in another strong performance , giving the Bluebirds ' backline something to think about . You just feel that the big man needs a goal to give him greater confidence and he could push on from there . It was another dominating game from Rob Dickie . Following the season-ending ACL injury to Luke McNally , Rob has picked up the baton as the first ball-winning centre half and headed pretty much everything away , rarely looking flustered . The second-half showing from Hirakawa caught the eye and on another day , the popular wide man could have got himself a goal , with only a brilliant save from Jak Alnwick denying him . It was from a fantastic dead ball delivery @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Knight gave his all and it was a well-timed run and a good header that gave us the lead . Minutes after the opener , Cardiff City boss Omer Riza rolled the dice and brought on former Arsenal and Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey . It was Ramsey who dragged his team back into the game . Whilst he may be injury-prone and may no longer have the legs to get around the pitch as he once did , he still has an intelligent football brain and he started to dictate the game . With Ramsey 's growing influence , I was amazed that Manning opted to replace Mehmeti with George Earthy and continue with two number 10s when surely we needed to get on Ramsey and shore things up . Marcus McGuane had to be the call . We reverted to just aimlessly hoofing the ball upfield and lost all composure . Having substituted Armstrong for Wells , the ball just kept coming back and the 8/1 for Cardiff City to score in the last ten minutes seemed to be a nailed-on banker . Manning could argue that had we defended better and kept our shape we could have and perhaps should have seen the game out . The goal we conceded was because of too many players making mistakes . George Tanner was too far forward and wide , Zak Vyner got dragged out , Knight lost his man and Roberts was just too weak in his challenge with goal scorer Yousef Salech . At that stage of the game , you must protect your lead and know where the opposition players are . It was such a disappointing goal to concede and a disappointing last 15 minutes from the team . Manning talks about the progress the team is making and yet his team still show the same fragilities and make the same mistakes , as does the head coach himself , which ultimately I fear will cost us . We are still in the mix , but you ca n't keep wasting these opportunities and dropping points . We have n't won in the last nine games @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ picking up wins at home . For the substitutes who must play a minimum of 20 minutes ( including injury time ) , we went : George Tanner 5.5 , Yu Hirakawa 6.5 , Sam Bell 5 and Nahki Wells 5 . A game average player rating of 5.60 . That 's an overall season-to-date average player rating of 6.14 . For Liam Manning it was 5 . In my opinion , the starting formation was strange , and we sat too deep and made the wrong substitutions . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'ducked out of making whip-related disqualifications' does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

By Simon Holt Horse Racing Tue February 18 , 2025 * 12h ago Simon Holt on why the current whip rules still cause him concern ahead of the Cheltenham Festival . ? AS always at dread times like these , the tragic death of 24-year-old Michael O'Sullivan as a result of a fall at Thurles serves as a sobering reminder , just three weeks away from a meeting where the speed , the danger and the desire are never greater , of the extreme risks taken by jockeys every day . O'Sullivan rode two winners at the Cheltenham Festival in 2023 , including aboard Marine Nationale in the Supreme Novices ' Hurdle , and those memories are bound to feature in the solemn thoughts of racegoers during a few moments of respectful silence before the same opening race of the meeting on March 11 . It is so gut-wrenchingly sad . While the home of steeplechasing , amid annual decreases in attendance and some shocking customer feedback last year , will be expected to provide @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ injury to horses and riders can never be entirely preventable . What can be avoided though - and this is something that now worries me ahead of all major meetings - are self destructive issues resulting from poorly drawn up rules . I refer to the disqualification for horses whose jockeys have exceeded the whip guidelines , a rule which has put British racing in a position where it could be embarrassed . And it is at the big meetings like Cheltenham , with so much at stake , where jockeys are more liable to try a little too hard . When the nuclear option of disqualification for overuse of the whip was first mooted , those in favour claimed that , after one demotion , it would n't happen again . I remember discussing the point with Sir Mark Prescott on ' Sky Sports Racing ' a few years ago and counter-argued that to err is human . I felt there would always be the odd breach . So , sadly , it has proved . The highest profile thus far came in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Le Grande was disqualified after the stewards considered that his rider Jamie Powell had exceeded the six-strike limit by four thereby triggering disqualification . After an appeal , the BHA 's independent disciplinary committee decided , very surprisingly , that Powell 's crucial 10th strike was unintentional and not the same as the previous nine , and Alphonse Le Grande was reinstated . As the governing body has ducked out of making whip-related disqualifications on race day ( thereby acknowledging how upsetting it can be for punters ) , backers of the nose Cesarewitch runner-up Manxman neither got paid on the day , or following the original decision to disqualify . So it 's still happening . Not often but there is always the chance of human error . Jamie Powell celebrates on Alphonse Le Grande Notwithstanding the clumsy way in which decisions to disqualify are made , the great weakness in the rule , in my opinion , is that it is completely hypothetical whether an extra strike of the whip made any difference to the result given the different ways in which horses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nobody wants to see horses whipped repetitively - even with the modern padded whip carried by Lorcan Williams - and there is a strong argument that too much whip can be self-defeating , often resulting in horses becoming unbalanced and losing momentum . Jockeys who break the rules should be punished , but not the owners , trainers nor , most importantly , the punters who backed the winner . If not disqualification , the big question is one of alternative deterrent and it can only be in the form of stiff fines and suspensions . Such punishments have not always been effective in the past but the Premier Racing model , if it 's good for anything , offers a potential template whereby a jockey guilty of overuse of the whip could be banned from a number of Premier meetings . During the summer , Premier meetings at Newmarket , Epsom , Ascot , Sandown , Goodwood and York will feature in Hong Kong 's World Pool which provides plenty of liquidity for backers and has become a significant boost to the racecourses involved . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ various jurisdictions which stage World Pool races and , at the territory 's international meeting in early December , the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club CEO Winfried Englebrecht-Bresges asserted that , if a horse was demoted in a World Pool race due to the jockey overusing the whip , the race would be voided for betting purposes . Interviewed by the ' Racing Post ' , he said : " We would pay back the bets . Our global customers would not accept disqualification due to the use of the whip . " I respect that jurisdictions have different views but customers would n't accept it . " He added : " If you do this with customers , they can turn away forever . We have 350,000 people in our off track betting centres and we had a horse some time ago demoted from first to fifth due to interference and we had to call the police because they were rioting . " We have to respect the decisions of jurisdictions but we also have to protect our customers . " With the World @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some racecourse 's coffers , the potential for some deeply embarrassing , illogical decision-making leading to a voided betting race threatens to disenchant bettors both domestically and beyond our borders . More immediately , one hopes that the first ' major ' of the year will not be smeared by a Cesarewitch-type controversy . The tapes will soon be up for the Supreme Novices ' Hurdle , with another Flat season to follow , and one has to question if the stakes surrounding disqualification for overuse of the whip are just too high .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('no children should be priced out of playing Gaelic games'). It has a prevention interpretation, meaning that rising costs prevent children from playing Gaelic games. The verb 'priced' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure metaphorically. The NP object 'children' functions as a causee, and the sentence allows for a clear movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, fitting the criteria for the transitive out of -ing construction.

I 'm currently reading a brilliant history of East Germany , ' Beyond The Wall ' by Katja Hoyer . It would be unfair to compare the GAA and the GDR ( Germany Democratic Republic ) too closely -- unfair to the Association , to be clear -- but there are some similarities . Ironically , the biggest difference comes with the G , Gaelic rather than German . Apart from the Berlin Wall , the GDR was arguably best known on the world stage as an Athletic Association , punching well above its weight ( partly by illegal doping methods ) at Olympic Games and Athletics World Championships . The GAA can certainly lay claim to the terms Democratic and Republic , even if some may still say there 's a stale , male whiff of a politburo about its Central Council . In reality , some of the GAA 's problems stem from a lack of central power . The Association as a whole might like to do away with the provincial football championships , but opposition in Ulster in particular , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not been achieved . Equally , in terms of economic policy , the GAA would like to curtail the increasing spending on county teams , often beyond the means of some counties , but there are always ' black market ' ways and means to circumvent any official diktats . GAA President Jarlath Burns is definitely no Walter Ulbricht or Erich Honecker , the two men who ran the GDR for its lifespan of 41 years . For those of us in ' the West ' who grew up with the existence of East Germany , our impression of that small state was largely negative . We knew about the wall , built suddenly in 1961 to cement the split in the former capital of Germany . We saw footage of people shot dead while trying to escape from East Berlin into West Berlin , which was under the jurisdiction of West Germany , the Federal Republic of Germany . We learnt about the consequences of steroids on famous female athletes , and about the malign influence of ' the Stasi ' , the state @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in East Germany . Hoyer does not sweep any of those , or other problems , under the carpet , but she does provide a fascinating corrective , showing that there were many positives to life in the GDR too . Some of the GDR 's ethos of equality , improvement , and collective responsibility and reward are echoed within the GAA -- but the latter could still learn some lessons from East Germany . West German secretary of state Wolfgang Schaeuble , left , his East German counterpart Guenther Krause , right , and East German prime minister Lothar de Maizire , centre , symbolically holding hands following the signing of the German unification treaty in East Berlin on August 3 1990 ( Hansjoerg Krauss/AP ) ( Hansjoerg Krauss/AP ) The sugar before the salt , though . Like the GDR , the GAA does not get enough praise for all that it does for its own . The percentage of GAA income -- 82 per cent -- re-invested in the Association is remarkable , such funding going to clubs , schools , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ distributed to county boards , ? 15.2m invested in coaching and games development , ? 15m went on match day and competition costs , ? 10.5m was invested in capital grants for county and club developments , ? 9.3m was invested in player welfare , and ? 6m went to club supports and sister associations . The infrastructure constructed by the membership of the GAA , often boosted by central funds , is absolutely astonishing . The sense of pulling together , working hard for the common good , is unmatched by any sporting organisation in the world . Yet , like the GDR tried to do , the GAA absolutely has to balance the aims of socialism with the realities of living in a capitalist world . The GAA does not , and can not , exist in an idealistic bubble , just as the GDR was not sealed off from the outside world by the inner German border and the Berlin Wall . Leipzig street art ( Alamy Stock Photo ) The GAA may be a not-for-profit organisation , but it still has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at times , raising ticket prices . Yet sometimes there 's more to be gained by taking in no money , or less than the market rate . The GDR subsidised rent , food , consumer goods , holidays , etc for its citizens , which helped them adjust and adapt to life there . The GAA should realise that allowing free admission to under-16s , wherever possible , is an investment for its own future , while cheaper tickets for pensioners is a reward for those who have contributed so much to its past and present . As much as it values its rich history , the Association is constantly looking forward : the workshops for delegates to the GAA 's Annual Congress at the Abbey Hotel in Donegal town this Friday night sound like those of a GDR state planning committee , in a good way : Finance , Demographics , Sustainability , and Volunteering . The GDR was better than the FRG in how it helped the working class and women . The percentages in East Germany of both receiving university education and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ neighbour to the west . The GAA has to be wary of becoming too middle class -- and I say that as someone who has moved into that category from a working class background . Aspiration and social mobility are admirable , indeed opportunity for all should be guaranteed , but the danger is that those who have moved up can pull up the proverbial drawbridge behind themselves , leaving others abandoned . Children pictured at the GAA 's first Go Games blitzes in Croke Park in 2014 . The tales of rising costs for GAA membership and participation may still largely be limited to Dublin and greater Belfast , but no children should be priced out of playing Gaelic games , or else they will go elsewhere to satisfy their sporting needs . In one sense , the GAA is even worse than West Germany was for decades when it comes to elevating women . Technically the GAA does not oversee the female codes , but of course integration with the Camogie Association and the Ladies Gaelic Football Association is moving forward . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ both those Associations will address the GAA 's Annual Congress at the Abbey Hotel in Donegal town this Friday night . Of course , women have played significant parts in the GAA for decades , mostly as volunteers , but also as club officers and even as county officials , including reaching the level of chairperson in counties such as Cork , Tyrone , and -- at the moment -- Down . Referees too -- and the GAA , LGFA , and Camogie Association have just this week jointly launched a Female Referee Academy , with up to 20 places available . GAA President Burns is an admirable advocate of female involvement in the GAA . The GAA does not need walls or barbed wire fences , never mind border guards , to keep its members involved -- but it must always remember that participation numbers are at least as important as profit figures . |

The 2021 All-Ireland winner said that ' taking away an advantage that the likes of Tyrone , Monaghan and Armagh have on other teams ' would be ' nearly indicative of saying , " we do n't want those teams to win , so we 'll take away their advantage " ' .

' " Niall Morgan is put under pressure during Tyrone 's Allianz Football League Division One match against Mayo in Castlebar on Sunday Picture : Oliver McVeigh Morgan also raised the possibility of teams , who are defending a 12 v 11 overload , cancelling out the opposition 's numerical advantage by bringing their own goalkeeper out , making it 12 v 12 though leaving their net unguarded . " A friend of mine keeps texting me saying , ' When is the team that 's defending going to push their ' keeper out ? ' " said Morgan . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have to go for goal from 60 metres out because we 're going to press you that high ' . " Morgan said talk generally of a ' 12 v 11 rule ' has frustrated him too . " For starters , it 's not a rule that the ' keeper has to come up , " he said . " And it 's also 12 v 12 . It 's no different to last year when it was 15 v 15 . Now that the teams are leaving three up and three back , now magically a player on the team is disappearing ? " Those arguments may not be enough to win over those who feel that goalkeepers are still having too much of an influence on games . Morgan 's own GPS stats show just how much he is getting involved in outfield play . Even compared to last year , when he was already an adventurous sweeper ' keeper , his numbers have spiked . " Against Cork last year in the Championship , I would have thought that I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) I did three kilometres more in the game and my high-speed running was about four times what it was last year , " revealed the 33-year-old , who has been regularly referenced by Jim Gavin 's FRC in recent months . " So last year , as Jim Gavin made sure , everybody seen me walking out with the ball , whereas now to get the ball I have to go up as far as halfway and every return is 140 metres basically , never mind what I do when I 'm up there . Every kick-out is 20 metres out and 20 metres back . So it does start adding up . Including the warm-up , against Derry , there was over 10k . " Morgan said playing this way is all he 's ever known , taking on the role of sweeper ' keeper when he first played adult club football for Edendork at 17 . His fear is that others who enjoy the role , and youngsters who aspire to it , will give up if the rules are changed . " If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's going to be a number of goalkeepers would walk away , " he predicted . Morgan said he 'd happily leave all of the new rules to bed in , particularly the increased punishment for dissent . " I just think it 's vital that we ram that home , " he said of respect for match officials . |

Bristol has been given an extra ? 355,000 from the Government that city council chiefs did n't think they were going to get - and they are going to spend most of it on trying to keep the streets clean . The Government indicated in November how much money it was going to send to City Hall in Bristol - the council tax only covers about half the amount of money the council has to spend on services - but this week the Government sent Bristol City Council the ' Final Finance Settlement ' , and it is ? 355,000 higher than they first said it would be . Of the ? 355,000 windfall , some ? 310,000 is going to be set aside as contingency to ' respond to pressures and demands emerging in-year for 2025-26 ' . Cllr Dyer ( Green , Southville ) said this would be prioritised on tackling fly tipping and street litter . " We are hearing loud and clear that one of the most pressing priorities for Bristol residents @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " The quality-of-life survey shows high dissatisfaction about street cleanliness , and that deprived areas of the city have been disproportionately affected . " A small amount of extra government funding has been identified following the final settlement and this has been placed in a contingency for emerging pressures . I plan to prioritise this funding to respond to concerns raised about street litter and fly tipping . " It 's no surprise that this is a problem . Labour took ? 700,000 out of tackling street cleansing and fly tipping in 2023 . This money will go some way to making up for this loss , and I hope will include putting back in one of the two fly-tipping rounds that Labour removed and increasing street cleansing in certain areas , " he added . " But while I can make this a priority for the Greens , a task and finish group made up of councillors from all parties will prioritise how this money is best spent , " he added . The extra money comes as the council embarks on a wide ranging consultation survey asking people living in Bristol about their rubbish and recycling . That 's part of a decision to be made about whether any money can be saved by switching to a system where waste wheelie bins are emptied every two weeks , as now , or every three or four weeks . While the consultation has been ongoing , Bristol Labour have launched a petition calling for collections every month to be stopped - which has been signed now by more than 10,000 people . Part of the opposition to collecting bins every four weeks comes from fears it will lead to an upsurge in the amount of rubbish left on the streets . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The man in charge of environmental policy , Cllr Fodor ( Green , Redland ) said the council was listening . " My committee will also be looking at what changes we can make to improve Bristol 's recycling rate , and I ask everyone to fill in the waste consultation on how we can do this , " he said . " Analysis shows that over 40 per cent of what 's in Bristol 's black bins can be recycled , and a lot of this is food waste . There is a lot of room to improve , and we must increase our recycling rate from 45 per cent to 65 per cent by 2035 to meet Government targets . " " I am confident that we can reach this ambitious target together , but this would be far easier to achieve with greater income from increased recycling rates . The move from weekly to fortnightly bin collections in Bristol has been the only significant measure to improve recycling rates in the last 20 years - which is why we are consulting on reducing the frequency @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to hear from everyone . We have listened and prioritised funding for street cleansing , and we will always listen to the voices of those we represent before making any changes in the future , " he added .

Councillors said the project , off Knights Lane and Newton Lane , would have been a misuse of " best and most versatile " agricultural land and would also be visible " for miles " . Newton Lane past the site would have to be made one-way for the 38-week construction period , Derbyshire County Council said , leaving a five-mile detour for farming vehicles and parents travelling to nearby schools .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'opted out of traveling' involves an intransitive verb 'opted' with no NP object, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

By Chris Hammer and James Cooper Darts Wed February 19 , 2025 * 12h ago The BetMGM Premier League Darts regular season continues in Dublin on Thursday so check out our match-by-match guide to the action . 1pt Michael van Gerwen to win the night at 9/2 ( General ) By Chris Hammer Ahead of each week of the Premier League season , James Cooper 's predictive model , which is based on player performance data , will be used to chart each player 's potential opponent and give a percentage chance of them beating each one , as well as forecasting the likelihood of them winning the whole night . As you can see from Coops ' probabilities this week , Luke Littler is clear favourite to make it back-to-back nightly successes having broken his duck for the season in Glasgow , beating the week one champion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no repeat of that in Dublin due to the fact they find themselves in the same half of this week 's draw bracket , while Littler also has a tough opening clash against Gerwyn Price who is looking much more like his old blockbusting self . Although the probability model - as well as the bookies - make him quite a big outsider based on the stats and the level of performance that Littler is continually producing , I do believe the Iceman can make his life awkward over this short format . I am therefore dipping into the ' softer ' bottom half to predict this week 's winner and Michael van Gerwen has a very strong chance of reaching the final at the 3Arena . The Dutchman has won both his quarter-final matches so far and his rising stats suggest he 'll have too much in the tank for the likes of Chris Dobey , Rob Cross or Nathan Aspinall to deal with . He 's averaged over 100 in three of his four games and fired in a whopping 17 180s which actually @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Littler at this early stage of the campaign . Nobody in the bottom half is playing to that level yet so if MVG can maintain his momentum , I expect him to be battling out for five points and ? 10,000 by the end of the night . Having got off the mark in week one , successfully navigating a tricky-looking section with Michael van Gerwen and Luke Littler , Luke Humphries cemented a really solid start to his Premier League campaign with a runner-up effort in Glasgow . The final was soured by a series of inopportune whistles when Humphries was about to throw , which certainly did n't help but the game was there for the taking with Cool Hand having the darts to win 6-4 . As the above stats illustrate , Humphries boasts a lovely blend of heavy scoring and premium-level checkout ability which makes him such a tough player to beat , even when he 's not at his best . Stephen Bunting on the other hand , is going through a disappointing spell . Two defeats out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up the table , albeit at an embryonic stage of the event . In fairness , MVG would have been hard for anyone to live with last week but Bunting 's scoring power has n't materialised so far . Alongside the Premier League , Bunting has n't pulled up any trees in the Players Championship events and unless he can find his " A " game sharpish , Humphries should land the odds here . I 've been long on the checkout line featuring Bunting so far but with the likelihood of nine legs or fewer on the cards , I 'm leaving that market alone . Instead , I 'll have a speculative correct score bet , with a 6-2 HUMPHRIES WIN a shade too big at 6/1 without any knowledge on who is throwing first . Luke Littler reached a century of televised matches as a pro ( 102 ) during last week 's Premier League Darts round in Glasgow and remarkably he 's won 77 of them and averaged over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of those 102 games , he 's exceeded a ton in 40 of them . And he 's done it in 29 of his last 32 . Although this latter stat is a small sample size , this is the kind of rate Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen were managing in their peak years . This is exactly why opponents have to play out of their skin to beat him and in some of these cases they also have to defy some large gaps in the averages . Price is one of the few players who have pulled out a big blockbusting performance capable of defeating him this year at the Bahrain Darts Masters while I also feel his stage presence - that others do n't have - is also another key reason why he 's managed to win half of their eight televised meetings so far . The Iceman has also won their last four matches in all competitions - including an 8-1 battering in a World Series final last August - so maybe his aura and demeanour does perhaps intimidates Littler enough to make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ playing at his best when firmly in the spotlight . Littler will be fired up to end his losing run against Price and although he 'll be fresh having opted out of traveling to Romalen for this week 's Players Championship events , I expect this one to go down to the wire . Head-to-Head : 8-10 ( TV : 5-8 ) Average ( 2025 overall ) : 97.42 -- 94.53 180s per leg ( 2025 overall ) : 0.27 - 0.33 Checkout % ( 2025 overall ) : 42.79% - 37.41% By Chris Hammer As much as Nathan Aspinall loves trying to prove the doubters wrong , he 's struggling to do that at the moment following back-to-back defeats in the Premier League and a lack of sparkling displays anywhere else this year . He did average over 100 in both of his matches at Players Championship 3 on Monday , including in a fine 6-1 triumph over Gian van Veen , but he 's only managed it eight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pundits and experts are n't looking past him because they doubt his ability or because they 've forgotten his fighting spirit - it 's purely down to the fact his best displays have been fewer and far between in recent times , which have also been blighted by injuries and battles with dartitis . Rob Cross has dealt with his own critics that had mounted towards the end of 2024 by winning a World Series title and also the opening Players Championship event of the campaign , so his confidence is on the up and a worthy favourite to reach the semi-finals in Dublin . I 'll go for Voltage to pinch this one but doubt the winner will go much further if they run into MVG next . To say that Michael van Gerwen has hit the ground running in each of his first two Premier League matches this season would be an understatement . MVG averaged 105.91 in his brilliant 6-5 win over Luke Littler in Belfast and he cranked it up another notch in Glasgow when dismantling Stephen Bunting 6-1 , recording 109.16 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of level will win you a very healthy percentage of matches but unfortunately for Van Gerwen , his performance levels dipped slightly in his semi-final reversals . Chris Dobey , a beaten finalist on night one before suffering an early reversal north of the border last week , should provide stiff resistance . No-one should need reminding as to the level Dobey is capable of on the floor and he 's starting to look more at home in TV events , too . Match prices of 8/15 MVG against 13/8 Dobey are probably a smidge too far apart but it 's the 180s market that makes the most appeal from a betting perspective . A look at the year-long data would have you rushing to back Dobey at odds-against in the most 180s market given he averages 0.06 more maximums per leg than MVG ( which is a lot more than it sounds ) . Yes , we are talking about a small sample here of four matches here but no-one has averaged more 180s per leg in the Premier League so far than Van @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prowess when switching to treble 19 but he has n't really done that with the same regularity so far , presumably on account of his superb first dart in this competition . Dobey has been a very reliable T20 proposition for some time now which augurs well when siding with the OVER 6.5 MATCH 180s at odds-against in a match that will hopefully last 10+ legs .

Donald Trump 's negotiating team must not be made up of " choir boys " who fall into the Kremlin 's traps through a lack of preparation and experience , an official who observed previous ceasefire talks with Moscow has warned . The US negotiators will be ruthlessly exploited by their Russian counterparts if they prioritise speed over a durable agreement , said the official , who was close to the implementation of the 2014 Minsk Agreement , which reduced fighting between Ukraine and Russia but failed to end hostilities or prevent the outbreak of a wider war . Mr Trump issued a call for Ukraine to hold elections before the agreement of a ceasefire , after a US delegation met with Russian officials for the first official talks in Riyadh on Tuesday . It sparked accusations that the US president was adopting Moscow 's key demands before serious negotiations had even begun . The US president has a " wish to get a quick fix , " the official said , speaking on condition of anonymity , " and a quick fix that is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ end the war -- in the end prolong it " . Declassified CIA briefings from as early as 1953 warn that Soviet officials view negotiations as a chance to exhaust their adversaries rather than an opportunity to reach a broadly acceptable compromise . " For the Russian negotiator , an agreement reached on Monday is the basis for a renegotiation on Tuesday , " the official said . " This is not a choir boy 's negotiation . This is tough . This requires preparation and you need to be ready . " On Wednesday , the Moscow Times reported that Russia 's team for the next phase of negotiations will likely include Sergei Naryshkin , the head of Russia 's foreign intelligence service ( SVR ) and a long-time Putin confidant , Sergei Ryabkov , the deputy foreign minister who has held the role since 2008 , and similarly experienced Middle East envoy Mikhail Bogdanov . Sergei Ryabkov forms part of the Russian team leading negotiations Credit : Pavel Bednyakov/AP Mr Trump 's close circle includes few people with similar levels of expertise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the secretary of state delegated to lead negotiations , has been in place for weeks . According to the Moscow Times , Putin 's envoys have been instructed to " demonstrate the most amicable and , in some aspects , complimentary attitude toward their American counterparts and president Donald Trump personally , " in order to extract the most out of upcoming summits . Among Russia 's negotiating team in Riyadh was Dmitry Rybolovlev , a billionaire who purchased a Palm Beach property from Mr Trump for $95 million in 2008 , more than double the expected price . Warning against a hasty Ukraine deal , the official said it could take several years to strike an accord water-tight enough to prevent Russia going on to exploit loopholes . They gave the example of Colombia , where it took four years for the government and Farc rebels to strike the 2017 armistice . " All of this will cost money and resources , " the official said . Failure to strike a comprehensive deal will encourage further Russian aggression . One tactic used by Moscow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the deal which has been left unclear , insisting it be raised to the highest levels . After the Minsk agreement , agreed over just one night in February 2014 , they focused on a mundane municipal issue on a small stretch of the front line . They " started to engage on this and wasted everyone 's time and re-channelled all the attention to this small area along a front of almost 500km , while in all other areas , violations continued , but nobody paid attention to it " . " The bigger picture of , you know , stabilising and trying to find a way out of the violence was coming completely second or third in the agenda . " A second tactic was to focus on communication and timetabling rather than substance . Without any clear go-between on the front lines , Moscow and its proxy forces often said they were unable to contact their Ukrainian counterparts to sort out a problem . A clear method for resolving disputes , likely involving a third-party @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ established before any deal is signed , or the lack of one will be exploited by Putin , the official said . Russia 's negotiators in Minsk and the negotiations that followed were extremely well prepared , bringing binders full of documents to the table at a level beyond their Ukrainian , French or German counterparts . " You would not encounter anyone that was unprepared and would therefore agree to something without knowing it would work in their advantage , " the official said . " I 'm convinced , in much more detail , these discussions over ceasefire terms are held on a very regular basis , if not permanently , in Moscow . " The Russian negotiators will not take you seriously if you say " ' let 's sit down , let 's have a discussion ' . " " You have to be as tough a negotiator and as well prepared with facts as the Russian 's side so you can document and put a rationale forward for your view that is backed up by examples . " Otherwise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they will have a very strong , documented counter-proposal " . The ultimate risk of seeking to take short-cuts is that you become a " mouthpiece " for Russia 's views , the official said , speaking ahead of the Riyadh summit and Mr Trump 's remarks on the need for elections . " You certainly need to be careful not to become , unintentionally , an advocate for Russia 's plans , " the official said . " Russia might very well find someone at the table to whom they could present a plan and say , ' Look , Ukraine would never accept this from us . But maybe you could present this , we would certainly agree to it if you present this plan , and you never need to say it came from us . ' " Marie Dumoulin , a French diplomat who helped prepare the ground for the Minsk agreements , told The Telegraph that " wanting a deal at any cost is not a good way to start a negotiation in general , and with Russia in particular " . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " a ceasefire is not peace , " said Ms Dumoulin , who took part in talks over the agreement 's implementation between 2018 and 2021 . " There were dozens of ceasefires negotiated within the framework of Minsk - and none of them held for more than a few weeks . " Oleksandr V Danylyuk , a former advisor to Ukraine 's defence and intelligence chiefs and associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute ( RUSI ) , said that the only way to stand up for Ukraine 's interests in the negotiations was to threaten Putin where it hurts . " There is no sense to bluff with Russians , " he told The Telegraph . " They are so much better in bluffing than anybody else . " So it does not hugely matter that the US has said Ukraine will not join Nato or reclaim its 2014 borders , Mr Danylyuk argued , as these are largely recognition of the realities on the ground . " The only way you can actually @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and very credible with your ability to damage them " at an increasing scale of intensity . " Every day , you will have more and more damage to your interests , and not just interests of your country , but also your personal interests . " According to Mr Danylyuk , the damage could be delivered by threats to increase the delivery of Himars missiles or tanks for every month that Russia does not fall into line . The flipside is that Western support for Ukraine in military terms falls off while negotiations are taking place -- and the talks are drawn out by Russia to gradually weaken and potentially crush its enemy . " They have n't signed , you know , any agreements yet , " Mr Danylyuk said . With little appetite in the West to upset Moscow during talks by providing additional weaponry , its troops could probe in Kursk , as well as the north and south parts of the battlefield , until they " finally achieve the moment in which Ukraine will not have enough equipment and ammunition and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , however , the prospect of America playing hardball with Putin faded rapidly from view . Writing on Truth Social , the president referred to Volodymyr Zelensky , Ukraine 's president , as a " dictator without elections " , and implied that he had duped Joe Biden into backing Kyiv with hundreds of billions of dollars . |

In anticipation of Marek Horn 's Wild Swimming , I decided to research past productions to get an idea of its themes and intentions . What initially ( and sincerely ) started as an academic venture quickly turned to childish glee once I realised that the actors are encouraged to give out sweets , chuck towels around the theatre , and shoot water pistols at the audience . Suffice it to say : I did n't think I 'd see the day I 'd get to shoot an actor in the face with a water gun . Wild Swimming is very much wild . My audience was quite small , and as a first-timer in Pembroke 's intimate New Cellars , I initially struggled to see how the two-person cast could generate the level of energy that I 'd read about . My fears were quelled immediately when Scarlett Coburn and Harry Mitchell began speaking . The play follows their characters , Nell and Oscar , who meet on a Dorset Beach throughout several historical periods , whilst never ageing with the centuries themselves . Starting in Elizabethan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ arriving at the present day , the dialogue stays surprisingly modern and refreshingly authentic , a device which I thought was highly creative . " My fears were quelled immediately when Scarlett Coburn and Harry Mitchell began speaking " However , this comes with a few issues . The interactions between Nell and Oscar tend to follow the same pattern : crude teasing turns into arguing and Nell has to deliver a didactic speech on why Oscar is wrong or should be much happier , before jumping into a big montage where the actors change costumes , attack the audience with props , and outline what time period the next scene takes place in . This affects the impact of the dialogue dramatically : by the end , the insults lack the same shock , the romantic tension has ( mostly ) dissolved and the pair 's dynamic just feels formulaic . It also bypasses an opportunity for subtlety : do we really have to be told what period we 're in every single time ? Could we not figure it out through the dialogue , the historical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ present ? The play does attempt to resolve this : a brief meta-theatrical interlude sees Oscar almost walking out of the play before Nell drags him back in . Whether intended to be absurd or not , I felt the scene did n't really work . Nell 's authority in her and Oscar 's relationship is fixed from the beginning , and having her continue as the dominant figure only feeds into the formula which has driven them here to begin with . As such , it feels as though nothing is different between the pair when the plays ends . It 's also unclear how and when the characters break the third-wall : the awareness that they 're in a play has not been foreshadowed in their dialogue , nor is it touched upon later , which feels particularly ironic , considering the emphasis the play places on the importance of literature -- you 'd think that living in a play would 've been a good topic of conversation . " A meditation on love and literature with a genuinely inventive use of time " Despite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bundle of delights . Cheeky , intelligent and sympathetic , Mitchell 's rebuttals to his co-star 's verbal attacks ( even when the content is a bit weaker ) are delightful viewing and his commitment to Oscar 's physicality later in his ' life ' fuels our attachment to him . Coburn is an absolute tour-de-force , crafting an art out of delivering insults like a teenage Malcolm Tucker , but sympathetic in her concern for her partner ; I would love to see more from the pair of them . Although the rampant energy of Wild Swimming ca n't quite detract from its flaws , there is still plenty to enjoy here . A meditation on love and literature with a genuinely inventive use of time , the performances and antics make the show a fun 50 minutes , and a great way to start the night if you know a special someone who likes theatre on Valentine 's Day .

Just because you are adorning casual clothing that does n't mean you ca n't look polished , refined and put-together - descriptors always associated with the man himself . COLLARS & CO Anyone who wears a dress shirt on the daily will know the struggle when the summer months hit -- especially if you need to travel on the sweaty underground . The good news ?

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'taking the guesswork out of cleaning' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a result or state change, which is not characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Ex-Ireland hooker Jackman - who spent 18 months as head coach at Rodney Parade - knows Sherratt from the Welsh coaching circuit and has sung his praises ahead of his nation taking on Wales in Cardiff this weekend . " They could n't have got anyone better for a short-term solution than Matt Sherratt . He is one of the most popular men in Welsh rugby , he has worked with a lot of these men at Cardiff and at Bristol , " Jackman told RTE . " His first week as head coach of Cardiff , he had eight players contracted in the car park . He has had to sit down and talk to players who are being let go because of budget cuts , reduce salaries because of budget issues . He 's been in a s***storm in Welsh rugby for the last three or four years and is still well-liked and trusted . " That 's testament to him . The WRU have gone for someone internal who can create the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , so often worked for him . Gatland had big , physical players , which there were an abundance of at the time , a good defence and energy . " What Matt Sherratt will do is , they 'll have a real clarity in how they want to play . He wo n't overcomplicate it . His Cardiff teams on average score one try a game from a set piece or from a power play , so they are good at finding a weakness in the opposition . They 'll play fast , there 'll be quick taps , trick plays around the lineout to get them on the front foot and they can implement that quite quickly with a lot of walk-throughs - apparently they 've been doing that a lot this week . " Sherratt will this afternoon announce his Wales team to take on Ireland . You can follow live updates of that right here . England 's Immanuel Feyi-Waboso is in hospital and will miss the entire Six Nations after having shoulder surgery . His hopes of touring with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Cardiff-born winger initially opted not to have surgery on a dislocated shoulder sustained before Christmas - believing he could rehab it and give himself a shot at playing in the Six Nations and staking a claim for the Lion . But , on Wednesday , the Exeter wing posted a photo of himself in hospital following the surgery on social media , with the caption " minor setbacks , we go again " . Feyi-Waboso was shortlisted for World Rugby 's breakthrough player of 2024 after choosing England over Wales and making a huge impact on the international stage with five tries in his first eight appearances . His season now looks over . Dan Biggar has revealed he has " never had an appetite " for coaching and going in to help the Wales setup is not something on his radar . Wales are on the lookout for a new coaching team following the departure of Warren Gatland , with Cardiff Rugby boss Matt Sherratt taking over until the end of the Six Nations campaign . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but , appearing on The Rugby Pod , when asked by Andy Goode and Jim Hamilton if he would go in as a coach this summer , the Toulon fly-half said that side of the game , post-retirement , is not for him . " It would be amazing , but I 'll be brutally honest , I 've never had any real appetite for coaching , " Biggar admitted . " I 've given my weekends up and I 've given up a lot of time throughout my career , so then you have to give up even more time , look at more matches , more training , you have to give up so much more time . " I 'm always available if anyone needs any help , but it 's fair to say that the job in the media is a lot easier ! You 've got all the time in the world to watch clips back , slow things down , it 's so much more difficult on the coaching side of things . " For me , it 's not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my bit to the game . I 'd love to help in some way , shape or form , but it 's not really something I 'm that keen on . " Who knows in time ? But I 'm quite happy with what I 'm doing at the minute . People who have gone in from the playing side tell me it 's more time , more stress and less money - I ca n't really work out the advantages ! It 's clearly a lot easier this side of the microphone . " An intriguing subplot to Saturday 's Guinness Six Nations showdown is the battle at number 10 as Test rookie Smith seeks to build on his starring role in a thrilling 26-25 win over France on his full international debut . Rival out-half Russell , who hopes to recover from a head injury to feature at Allianz Stadium , is vastly more experienced and regarded by many as the leading candidate to start for the British and Irish Lions in Australia this summer . Lawrence has close links with both men , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ former club Worcester before Russell joined his current side Bath in 2023 . " I do n't really think there 's too much pressure on Fin ; certainly we are n't putting pressure on him to step up or anything like that , " said Lawrence . " The way he played against France and controlled the game put us in the right areas of the field . He managed to set up that try ( for Elliot Daly ) at the end , which was testament to how he 's come on as a player . " Ever since he left Worcester and went to ( Northampton ) Saints , he 's only gone like this ( upwards ) . Finn Russell is a world-class 10 , a great player and I 've got a huge amount of respect for him . But equally I 'm definitely not looking at Fin and saying he has to match the other Finn during the game . " He 'll do his thing , he 's a confident lad and we 'll back him all the way . He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ show in an England jersey . " Smith , 22 , has another chance to pull the strings for England following head coach Steve Borthwick 's decision to keep fellow fly-half Marcus Smith at full-back . Russell , meanwhile , is pushing to prove his fitness after he and team-mate Darcy Graham were forced off due to a nasty collision in their country 's round-two loss to Ireland . Having managed to subdue France star Antoine Dupont last time out , Lawrence believes England can also force errors out of Scotland 's key man . " Sometimes Finn is in his own world and he can make things happen that not everybody else can see , " said Lawrence . " One of his strengths is that he can create something out of nothing . He 's a skill player , he 's got a great passing game , great kicking game . " At Bath , he 's very diligent . Before I met him , I was similar in thinking he was a feel-based player but he sees pictures and understands them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He can do things off the cuff but he is able to execute things that he 's already seen pictures of , that teams have done before and he 's world class at doing it . " It 's going to be a challenge going up against him but it was the same last week with Dupont , another world-class player . If you put pressure on them then you can force them to make errors and that 's the plan on Saturday . " Will Joseph , the promising England international centre , is set to switch from Harlequins to Gloucester after the culmination of the current Premiership season . The 22-year-old , who joined Quins in 2023 following his progression through the London Irish academy , has clocked up 18 senior appearances for Harlequins and earned his senior international cap during England 's tour of Australia in 2022 . Speaking to the club 's website , Joseph said : " After speaking to George Skivington , director of rugby , I 'm excited about the direction the club @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the way the coaches want to play .

The privacy complaint is based on information provided by a former employee who has supposedly shared proof of the massive collection and processing of Siri 's voice recordings without user consent . The French complaint -- filed with the Paris prosecutor on Thursday , February 13 , 2025 -- comes only weeks after the Big Tech giant agreed to pay $95 million in settlements for a similar lawsuit in California , despite not admitting wrongdoing . Frenchman Thomas Le Bonniec began working for Globe Technical Services ( GTS ) in Cork , Ireland , in the spring of 2019 . He was part of a team tasked to improve Siri 's multilingual chatbot response by listening , transcribing , and tagging the recordings triggered by Apple 's vocal assistant .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object between the verb 'opted' and 'out of', and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations. Instead, 'opted out of' is used here to indicate a choice not to participate in an activity, which is a different construction.

Stood by the open door to her wardrobe , Serena posed for an outfit-of-the-day video . The tennis star looked sensational in a pair of low-rise slouchy jeans cinched at the waist by a black shoelace belt . The denim pants were styled with a simple white tank top and matching sneakers . Serena teamed her casual ensemble with a blue DK88 Burberry handbag accented with a green leather handle-top and a gold buckle . The mother-of-two styled her luscious blonde locks into tight curls while her makeup oozed glamor with a shimmery eye , a pinch of blush , and a glossy lip . The video depicts Serena spraying her perfume while posing for the camera . Serena captioned the post : " How do you apply your perfume ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's pristine closet can be spotted in the background of the clip . The walk-in wardrobe features stylish light-wood shelving and drawers decked with designer shoes and luxe handbags . Architectural Digest reported that the closet spans 620 square feet and is fashioned after a luxe retail space . " We had just met , " Serena told Architectural Digest of her husband Alexis . " And I was n't going to be like , ' Hey , let 's do this together . ' That would have been really weird for him . " Serena added : " I was moving away from Venus for the first time in my life , so I wanted it to be really meaningful . " The modern abode features a hidden karaoke suite , a trophy room , an infinity pool , and a wine cellar " the size of a small NYC apartment " . However , Serena opted out of building a tennis court as she shared that she " wanted to separate home from work " . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'get out of doing this' does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'out of doing this' is part of the prepositional phrase indicating the source of joy, not a construction with the specified properties.

Two teen fighters from a Muay Thai gym in Wallsend have been selected to compete at the world championships in Italy . Lewis Brown , 16 , and Jay Clough , 15 , will be leaving Newcastle in June to represent Team GB at the competition in Verona . Both Lewis , of Kenton and Jay , of Westerhope train at Newcastle Fighters , owned by couple Marianne Barrett and Connor Brown . Since the gym opened in 2018 , as a group of friends who wanted to train and compete , it has grown to occupy a 6,000 sq ft facility , the biggest for Thai Boxing in Newcastle , with over 50 members . Marianne , who has been coaching for 15 years , said : " Both Lewis and Jay started in our kids class , and Connor , who is a former teacher , even taught Jay at Westerhope Primary School . It 's really encouraging for us to see the progress they have made , and it reaffirms that we are doing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is amazing that they have both been selected for Team GB , as they had to go through a really tough process down in Leeds to get to this stage .

" Lewis Brown , 16 , from Kenton , who will be representing Team GB at the Muay Thai world championships in Italy ( Image : Newcastle Fighters ) Marianne wants to be an advocate for everything that Muay Thai brings to people 's lives , more than just the physical health aspect . According to her , Newcastle Fighters is a community , bringing in kids who may not have many friends and giving them a second family . She continued : " The joy I get out of doing this is seeing how much people grow , as both Lewis and Jay are perfect examples of being completely different people since they started here . From a technical standpoint , people do get good very quickly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two boys have . " One obstacle that both Lewis and Jay have to face is the cost of going to the tournament , with the UK team having to self-fund because Muay Thai is not currently recognised by Sport England . There are hopes that this will change , but Marianne , Connor and Lewis and Jay 's parents are doing all they can to make sure nothing stands in their way . Jay Clough , 15 , from Westerhope , who will be representing Team GB at the Muay Thai world championships in Italy ( Image : Newcastle Fighters ) She also said : " At the moment , we do n't get any financial help , and with the gym not being in a wealthy area , we want to do what we can , so that 's why the GoFundMe was created . We have made great progress getting money together through that and sponsorship , and any donations would be hugely appreciated . " Now , attention is turning to June , and the 2025 Amazing Muay Thai World Festival in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their training . Despite this , Lewis is also doing his GCSE exams this year , and both Marianne and Connor are encouraging both boys to find a balance as much as possible . She added : " They 're both so excited , they wo n't shut up about it , as they made loads of friends at the events in Leeds so they all ca n't wait to be back together . They 're dreaming big , they both want to come home with a medal , and I believe that they can definitely do it , so we all ca n't wait to go to Italy in June .

At Real Madrid , the hope was for Erling Haaland to form a dream partnership with Kylian Mbappe . It was " Operacion En Marcha " -- operation underway -- on the front page of Marca from when Haaland was at Borussia Dortmund , and those hopes only ended when Manchester City agreed a nine-and-a-half-year contract with the Norwegian last month . At the final whistle of Real 's resounding victory , both players were sat on the bench , but there was a huge contrast . Haaland was an unused substitute after injury ruled him out of attempting to turn the tie in City 's favour . Mbappe had scored a stunning hat-trick and left to a standing ovation . " I want to write history with Real Madrid . The adaptation period for me has ended and now I have to show my quality , " said Mbappe afterwards . This defeat neatly summed up the differing seasons for two of the great forwards in world football . Mbappe took his tally to 28 for the campaign , and his longest drought without finding the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ through tougher times during his " adaptation " at the start of the season , he was pulled through by his team-mates . Haaland 's consistency of goalscoring has been the same , with his tally of 27 quite incredible considering City 's results . But when he has needed his team-mates to carry him through , like he needed in this Champions League tie , they have been unable to deliver . The first leg of the play-off against Real will be remembered for their late flurry of goals at the Etihad , turning the tie on its head . But it should not be forgotten that Haaland put in one of the best centre-forward displays of the season , pulling Real 's defence in different directions , outmuscling them , and getting two goals to show for his work . At the Bernabeu , he cut a frustrated figure on the bench . Wearing a bracelet that spoke for everyone -- it read " F--- Cancer " -- he remained seated when other substitutes went to warm up in the second half . It was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 4-2 , 5-2 or 6-2 . Pep Guardiola could not risk losing his talisman for more games . Guardiola had given him as much time as possible to pass a fitness test after a knock against Newcastle United . Luckily for him scans are looking clear , but he is feeling discomfort . If City are to play in the Champions League next season , they will need him back playing . For a player who has missed chunks of previous seasons , it is incredible that this was the first game missed in the campaign apart from domestic cup ties . Mbappe seized the moment -- and sealed the tie -- with Haaland on the bench . His goals made City look naive : lobbing Ederson when he was out of position , leaving Josko Gvardiol on his backside for the second , then punishing City for standing off to complete his hat-trick . " A perfect night for the team , " said Mbappe . " When you play against Manchester City it is always a difficult game but we knew that at home we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ group and we were able to give a lot of joy to the fans . We have to continue in this way if we are to win what we want to win this season . I want to play well here , I want to make a mark on the season . " |

Image source , EPA Image caption , Trump , Macron and Zelensky met in Paris in December 2024 Max Matza BBC News Published 21 February 2025 , 22:16 GMT Updated 1 hour ago US President Donald Trump has said French President Emmanuel Macron and UK PM Keir Starmer " have n't done anything " to end the war in Ukraine , ahead of visits from both leaders to the White House next week . Speaking to Fox News , Trump also said Ukraine 's President Volodymyr Zelensky has " no cards " in peace negotiations , adding : " I do n't think he 's very important to be in meetings . " Trump 's Ukraine envoy Keith Kellogg struck a different tone earlier and said he had " extensive and positive " discussions with Zelensky during their meeting on Thursday . Kellogg went on to praise Zelensky as a " courageous leader " only days after Trump referred to him as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ calls with various global leaders in recent days , who have expressed their commitment to ensuring Ukraine is involved in peace talks . Earlier this week , Starmer said he is " ready and willing " to put UK troops on the ground in Ukraine to help guarantee its security as part of a peace deal . The BBC has contacted the PM 's office for comment . While European leaders have ruled out negotiating with Russia , they have met regularly to discuss the war in Ukraine - including at an emergency summit in Paris on Monday . Since Russia 's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 , the US , UK and EU , along with countries including Australia , Canada and Japan , have imposed more than 20,000 sanctions on Russia . Many European nations have also signed agreements to support and provide aid to Ukraine . In January , Starmer signed a " landmark " 100-year pact , telling Zelensky : " We are with you not just today , for this year or the next - but for 100 years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is free and thriving once again . " Trump , in his Fox interview on Friday , said Russia and Ukraine would not want to begin peace talks without his own personal involvement . He also continued to criticise Zelensky , saying : " I 've been watching this man for years now as his cities get demolished , as his people get killed , as his soldiers get decimated . " I 've been watching him negotiate with no cards . He has no cards , and you get sick of it , " he continued . " You just get sick of it , and I 've had it . " This video can not be played Media caption , Watch : Trump says Zelensky and Putin should ' get together ' to end war Despite his criticism of Macron and Starmer , Trump also praised the European leaders . He said he considers Macron to be a " friend " , and called Starmer " a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ visit Washington DC on Monday , while Starmer is expected to arrive on Friday . And after criticising Zelensky over the past week - using talking points that analysts say sound more like they originate in Moscow than Washington DC - Trump offered that " of course " he would take a phone call from Ukraine 's president . He insisted several times that Zelensky is to blame for failing to prevent war , saying that Russia could have been " talked out " of invading Ukraine . " We are negotiating to end the conflict . It is ' appeasement ' only if you think the Ukrainians have a credible pathway to victory . They do n't , so it 's not , " he said in a post on X. The US is pressing Ukraine to sign a deal that would give the US rights to Ukraine 's deposits of rare earth minerals , as part of talks to end the war . Trump has styled this as a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ military support . On Friday , he told reporters that the US and Ukraine are " pretty close " to signing the deal , adding that the US will " get our money back " . He added that Zelensky and Putin must " get together " to end the war . Ukraine has put forward changes to the US-proposed minerals deal , with talks progressing , according to reports . White House Security Adviser Mike Waltz said on Friday that Zelensky " is going to sign that deal " . Zelensky previously rejecting the proposal , saying that it is not " a serious conversation and that he " can not sell our state " . Mykhailo Podolyak , a senior aide to Zelensky , told BBC News on Friday that Ukraine is open to striking a deal . He said that Ukraine wishes to co-operate with the US , adding that it 's " prepared to open investments into the global industries and the development of mineral fields " . |

It demonstrates how women like her are stigmatised , according to Alex , who also feels other more notorious creators like Bonnie Blue and Lily Philips are making things worse . Both women claim to have undertaken extreme challenges in recent months from allegedly bedding university students on Fresher 's Week in Lily 's case to Bonnie claiming to have slept with over one thousand men in the space of 12 hours . Alex , 32 , moved her children to different schools after they were reportedly removed from class to be asked whether their mum " brings men back to the house " . And she believes their actions are having a direct impact on other saucy creators . When asked by The Mirror about whether Bonnie and Lily had put women in the industry in danger , she agreed , adding : " Lily Phillips and Bonnie Blue are making things more difficult for OnlyFans women , we get so much hate as it is and they are giving the impression that all of us who do OnlyFans , do those things . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ while being in this industry and I do n't understand why I am just as hated as women who do or say harmful things online , especially Bonnie Blue . She says things as rage bait quite often and I have n't done anything like that . " Bonnie Blue claimed to sleep with over a thousand men in just 12 hours ( Image : tiktok/bonniebluclips ) Alex feels empowered by her job and says it has changed the lives of her family , but there has been downsides ( Image : Alex Le Tissier ) Despite making her feelings clear , she added that neither Bonnie or Lily would warrant the backlash she has faced if they ever had children in the future . " They would never deserve to get malicious social services calls , because nobody deserves that , " she clarified . The former Love Island star said : " I see a lot of things saying that a lot of what we 're seeing is just rage bait and it 's not actually factual , so it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the things that she 's been recorded saying in different interviews that are hugely problematic . " We are in an epidemic against violence against women and I just think that we ca n't take that too lightly at all . And I also think that we are working hard to kind of reduce stigma around the sex industry and sex workers , and I think we 've done a lot of good stuff with this show , so I 'd hate to see a member of that industry doing things that push it back . " Alex joined OnlyFans during the pandemic to help get her family out of crippling debts . Her husband , Mitch , who lost jobs at the time after his mental health deteriorated , later credited his wife with saving his life . She has also transformed the fortunes of her loved ones . Despite once having to rely on second hand presents and family handouts at Christmas , last December she spent ? 20,000 on a Disneyland trip and gifts . Her current lifestyle , where she earns @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ far cry from the pandemic when she considered using food banks to help feed her children . Alex is married to Mitch Le Tissier and the couple have four children together ( Image : Alex Le Tissier ) She 's now become financially stable and her celebrity has increased thanks to her ties to former England star Matt . But it has come with its problems . The social services calls include disturbing allegations of Mitch hitting the children and her doing OnlyFans content in front of her kids . And asked whether she would consider leaving the industry for something else , she said she was " trapped " , despite ultimately being content in her work . She said : " I have thought about quitting OnlyFans but essentially I am trapped in this industry now . My husband ca n't get a job in Southampton because of what is going on and what I do . " It is too public around here with what I do . So I would really struggle to get a job which is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way . But I do enjoy my job , I just do n't like the discrimination that is pushed on me . " Another woman who had similar feelings about being trapped is former OnlyFans creator Lowri Rose who quit the platform last year . She spoke to the Daily Star about how it left her feeling " depressed , violated and unemployable " because of the stigma . Lowri said : " It is very hard on OnlyFans -- you have people constantly ripping you to shreds every single day . And if it 's something you do n't enjoy doing anyway , and there are also people ripping you for it , then it is just awful . OnlyFans model Bonnie has received backlash for some of her stunts ( Image : Supplied ) " People treat you awfully in person as well , everyone sees you in a negative way , even if they say they do n't , they do . It is just too much . " The hate mainly comes from men but it is people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with . I have been called fat so many times when I am not fat . People have picked apart my whole image and it has impacted me a lot and I have had surgery and lost a lot of weight . " I 've even had people come up to me and say ' you look like you do OnlyFans ' and it is just gross . People just think they can speak to you however they want .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'get her family out of crippling debts', where 'crippling debts' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

It demonstrates how women like her are stigmatised , according to Alex , who also feels other more notorious creators like Bonnie Blue and Lily Philips are making things worse . Both women claim to have undertaken extreme challenges in recent months from allegedly bedding university students on Fresher 's Week in Lily 's case to Bonnie claiming to have slept with over one thousand men in the space of 12 hours . Alex , 32 , moved her children to different schools after they were reportedly removed from class to be asked whether their mum " brings men back to the house " . And she believes their actions are having a direct impact on other saucy creators . When asked by The Mirror about whether Bonnie and Lily had put women in the industry in danger , she agreed , adding : " Lily Phillips and Bonnie Blue are making things more difficult for OnlyFans women , we get so much hate as it is and they are giving the impression that all of us who do OnlyFans , do those things . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ while being in this industry and I do n't understand why I am just as hated as women who do or say harmful things online , especially Bonnie Blue . She says things as rage bait quite often and I have n't done anything like that . " Bonnie Blue claimed to sleep with over a thousand men in just 12 hours ( Image : tiktok/bonniebluclips ) Alex feels empowered by her job and says it has changed the lives of her family , but there has been downsides ( Image : Alex Le Tissier ) Despite making her feelings clear , she added that neither Bonnie or Lily would warrant the backlash she has faced if they ever had children in the future . " They would never deserve to get malicious social services calls , because nobody deserves that , " she clarified . The former Love Island star said : " I see a lot of things saying that a lot of what we 're seeing is just rage bait and it 's not actually factual , so it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the things that she 's been recorded saying in different interviews that are hugely problematic . " We are in an epidemic against violence against women and I just think that we ca n't take that too lightly at all . And I also think that we are working hard to kind of reduce stigma around the sex industry and sex workers , and I think we 've done a lot of good stuff with this show , so I 'd hate to see a member of that industry doing things that push it back . " Alex joined OnlyFans during the pandemic to help get her family out of crippling debts . Her husband , Mitch , who lost jobs at the time after his mental health deteriorated , later credited his wife with saving his life . She has also transformed the fortunes of her loved ones . Despite once having to rely on second hand presents and family handouts at Christmas , last December she spent ? 20,000 on a Disneyland trip and gifts . Her current lifestyle , where she earns @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ far cry from the pandemic when she considered using food banks to help feed her children . Alex is married to Mitch Le Tissier and the couple have four children together ( Image : Alex Le Tissier ) She 's now become financially stable and her celebrity has increased thanks to her ties to former England star Matt . But it has come with its problems . The social services calls include disturbing allegations of Mitch hitting the children and her doing OnlyFans content in front of her kids . And asked whether she would consider leaving the industry for something else , she said she was " trapped " , despite ultimately being content in her work . She said : " I have thought about quitting OnlyFans but essentially I am trapped in this industry now . My husband ca n't get a job in Southampton because of what is going on and what I do . " It is too public around here with what I do . So I would really struggle to get a job which is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way . But I do enjoy my job , I just do n't like the discrimination that is pushed on me . " Another woman who had similar feelings about being trapped is former OnlyFans creator Lowri Rose who quit the platform last year . She spoke to the Daily Star about how it left her feeling " depressed , violated and unemployable " because of the stigma . Lowri said : " It is very hard on OnlyFans -- you have people constantly ripping you to shreds every single day . And if it 's something you do n't enjoy doing anyway , and there are also people ripping you for it , then it is just awful . OnlyFans model Bonnie has received backlash for some of her stunts ( Image : Supplied ) " People treat you awfully in person as well , everyone sees you in a negative way , even if they say they do n't , they do . It is just too much . " The hate mainly comes from men but it is people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with . I have been called fat so many times when I am not fat . People have picked apart my whole image and it has impacted me a lot and I have had surgery and lost a lot of weight . " I 've even had people come up to me and say ' you look like you do OnlyFans ' and it is just gross . People just think they can speak to you however they want .

There was a time when the Calcutta Cup set up residence south of the border . From 1991 to 2020 , Scotland won just four Tests against England . The bragging rights were red-rose tinted . This is a rivalry which dates back to the first match between the two countries in 1871 in Edinburgh , a match Scotland won . There has been a lot of water under the bridge since then , but Scotland have enjoyed a near-unprecedented spell of recent dominance in the fixture . It started with their first win at Twickenham in 38 years in 2021 , and they made it four from four with a comfortable 30-21 victory at Murrayfield last year . P W B +/- Pts 1 - Ireland 2 2 2 19 10 2 - France 2 1 2 42 6 2 - England 2 1 2 -4 6 3 - Scotland 2 1 1 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1 0 -5 4 6 - Wales 2 0 1 -50 1 But there 's a delightful dab of unpredictability about this weekend 's instalment of the Calcutta Cup . England head into this third round fixture with a morale-boosting 26-25 victory over France to their name . Scotland , however , promised much but fell to Ireland 32-18 at Murrayfield a fortnight ago . The pressure is on both to deliver , but for England , this could well be a pivotal moment in the Steve Borthwick era . Win , and that France result was n't a fluke , but instead part of the process -- a vindication of the faith showed in the nascent Fin Smith-Marcus Smith pairing . Lose , however , and it becomes a familiar recent tale of Scottish stranglehold and renders the triumph in Le Crunch as yet another flash-in-the-pan English victory . So what do England need to do on Saturday to take back the Calcutta Cup ? Scotland are in the midst of a long spell of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . ANDY BUCHANAN/AFP via Getty Images The Calcutta Cup has been draped in blue and white ribbons in the past four years . Back in 2021 , their win at Twickenham came in front of an empty stadium due to COVID-19 regulations . Scotland celebrated in torrential rain , their shouts echoing around the vast ground . But it was an exorcism , their first victory at England 's home since 1983 . Heads cleared of demons , since then they 've been dominant , winning 20-17 at Murrayfield in 2022 , and then stunning England again 29-23 at Twickenham in 2023 in front of a packed stadium where the home fans could hardly have left their seats with more haste . Last year 's win in Edinburgh felt unremarkable , so much had the status-quo shifted . So for England , they have to recognise why they have fallen short against Scotland , but also park any residual mental scars given they have beaten Scotland just once in the last seven years . Courtney Lawes , the ex-England @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ England 's recent record against the " Auld Enemy " was " embarrassing , " adding that his former teammates have to be " desperate " to halt that slide on Saturday . To get the players in the right headspace , Borthwick has been showing them clips of recent Calcutta Cup horror stories . " This is a team that 's got the wood over us at the moment , " Ben Earl said earlier in the week . " It 's got a big-game feel to it and that , more times than not , has brought the best out of us . " We 've watched the last two games we 've played against Scotland ; they 're almost unidentifiable in terms of what we 've been as a team when we 've been at our best over the last couple of years since Steve has come in . We 're not going to be short of motivation , that 's for sure . " England 's stats against Scotland have n't made for happy reading . Borthwick @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and turned the ball over 22 times -- hardly ideal . So the players will take that into the match this week , knowing they ca n't afford to make the same number of unenforced mistakes if they are to taste victory . Borthwick has also addressed their lack of physicality against Scotland last year , and Ollie Chessum is keeping that front of mind ahead of Saturday . " Steve Borthwick mentioned we did n't hit hard enough or play aggressive enough at Murrayfield last year , " Chessum told BBC Rugby Union Weekly . " As a group we feel like that game last year was a real turning point for us and how we want to be as a team . So this week is the real test for us to see if we have actually turned that corner . " England will look to target Scotland 's scrum this weekend , but Borthwick wants accuracy , aggression and above all bravery from all of his team on Saturday . They 've looked back at the win over France , and Borthwick wants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ intent as they did in that 26-25 victory . He took heart from how they recovered mid-match from mistakes , and adapted . They 'll need to be precise on Saturday , and he 's trusting Marcus Smith to re-tune his radar from the tee after he sent a couple of wayward kicks against France . " Last year 's match was a turning point for us . We were not happy with how we played in that game , " Ollie Lawrence said this week . " We have referred to it this week as an example of how we do n't want to play and what we do n't want to look like as a team . And how important it is this week to build on what we 've done against Ireland and France . " Hopefully , we can impose our gameplan on to Scotland and not allow them to come to our home turf and impose theirs . " England will be sick of the sight of tormentors-in-chief Finn Russell and Duhan van @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has six tries in his last four appearances against England . Some record . That tale of tape includes a hat trick last year , and a double at Twickenham , in 2023 . There were some remarkable scores , like the 60-metre gallop in that last away win , and his second against England last time out as he managed to fold himself into the narrowest gap to score in the corner . England will be on red alert on Saturday . " He 's got pace and power down that edge and if you give him that space he 'll take it , " Borthwick said of Van der Merwe . " What he 's then got is a big left-foot step to try and find another avenue . Fundamentally denying him that space will be very important . You have to be really on the money defensively across the board . " 2 Related And then there 's Finn Russell , one of the world 's best fly-halves .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks the 'out of VP2[-ing]' predicate and does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes making a business out of an activity (destroying people's lives), which is not the same as the construction in question.

Cheers and Frasier star Kelsey Grammer has upset some of his neighbours , by asking for permission to demolish a historic cottage near Bristol . The American actor and comedian and his wife Kayte have submitted a formal request to North Somerset planners asking if they need prior council approval to demolish their home near Portishead , after council planners refused to let them build a big extension on it last year . Grammer , 70 , met his wife Kayte - the daughter of Bristol City legend Alan Walsh - on a transatlantic flight where she was working as an air stewardess , and they were married in 2011 . They have a home near Portishead and have been locked in something of a battle with North Somerset 's planners for the past year or so . In 2023 , the Hollywood star who was the voice of Stinky Pete the Prospector in Toy Story 2 , revealed he and his wife had bought a ' little place ' in Portishead and planned to do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , he said : " I love the people in Portishead , and I love my time there .

" But the couple 's proposals for the ' work ' on the cottage have upset the local planning authority . Last year , the couple asked for permission to demolish all the various extensions on three sides of the historic cottage , which were largely built in the 1980s , and build a large new extension that was up to twice the size of the original building , as well as put in a new basement . Local planners refused last year 's proposal , saying the proposed new extension would be ' conspicuous ' from the road and ' result in a large @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' harm the openness of the Green Belt ' . Their cottage by the sea is historic , and although it is not a listed building , North Somerset 's heritage experts say it is a ' non-designated heritage asset with fabric likely to be dating from the post medieval period . The 2024 extension plan did not attract any objections from the neighbours - although the parish council said they did n't think what the Grammers wanted to do was out of keeping with its surroundings . The new application , submitted last week on their behalf by a local planning agent , sets out the demolition plan , and includes a report confirming there are no bats living there . But this new application has attracted the attention of the people who live in the homes around the Grammers ' . In objection letters to North Somerset Council , one neighbour described the Grammers ' plan from last year as ' rather monstrous ' , and said they ' strongly object ' to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ such a pretty structurally-sound cottage with such historical significance be demolished with total disregard for North Somerset Council 's comments , " the neighbour wrote .

Kelsey Grammer , who played Frasier Crane in the hit TV series , bought the Portishead coastal property to be closer to his Bristolian wife 's family ( Image : Getty Images for Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation ) Another neighbour said the reasons for refusing last summer 's application ' remained valid ' . " The concept that the property could be demolished in its entirety as some kind of alternative to the previous planning proposal , is entirely contradictory to all the points raised within the initial refusal , " they wrote .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate.

It 's matchday again . After a frustrating trip across the Severn Bridge to face Cardiff City last weekend , Bristol City welcome Middlesbrough to Ashton Gate as they look to climb into the top six , even if only for a day or so . Liam Manning 's side will be keen to put last weekend 's draw against the Bluebirds behind them as while they did come away from South Wales with a point , they will feel it really should have been three . However , Boro are unlikely to roll over easily as they look to end their own recent run of poor form . Michael Carrick 's side have n't quite hit the heights expected of them so far this season . While they have a game in hand on the teams in and around them in the race for the play-offs , they currently sit 11th in the Championship and have lost each of their last four games . Last time out , they were beaten by Watford at the Riverside @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a point to prove . Manning will have a reasonably different squad of players to pick from this weekend , for both good and bad reasons . Joe Williams is back from suspension while Cam Pring is in contention once again , but Ross McCrorie is due to be sidelined for the foreseeable future having limped off in the second half at Cardiff . While the lack of a midweek game will have provided the majority of the playing squad with more recovery and training time , it has also made it even more difficult to predict just what the Robins boss might do this evening . Even with that in mind , we 're going to give it a go so here 's how we think City will start against Middlesbrough tonight at Ashton Gate ... While there are numerous aspects of this team that are hard to predict given the injuries Bristol City have picked up in recent weeks , we are as sure as we can be that Max O'Leary will again continue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had a good game in South Wales last weekend and would have been deserving of a clean sheet . Ahead of him , it is n't clear whether or not Liam Manning will start with a back three or a back four as he has rotated between the two systems in the last couple of games . Our bet is that he will start with the three that have served him well at Ashton Gate in recent months , but include players that allow him to roll into a flat back four in possession . Rob Dickie and Zak Vyner will continue in the middle and on the right of the defensive line respectively and we expect Haydon Roberts to get the nod at left centre-back . Yes , the former Derby County loanee was caught napping for Cardiff 's leveller last week but with Luke McNally 's season over , Cam Pring only just returning from injury and Josh Campbell-Slowey not yet back in group training , he feels like the only natural fit on the left side of defence . Of course , George Tanner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ start on the left instead , but we think the former Manchester United academy graduate could be needed in a different role now that Ross McCrorie is back on the treatment table . With the blow of Ross McCrorie being ruled out for the best part of six weeks , Bristol City are going to have to mix things up at wing-back . The Scotsman has played on both the right and left flank in recent weeks , providing a strong presence out of possession and a direct style when on the ball . George Tanner was the man to replace him in South Wales when he suffered the hamstring injury against Cardiff and our bet is the 25-year-old will start his first game in almost a month against Middlesborough . Tanner has been working on the attacking side of his game this term so can provide an outlet from the right flank and his defensive ability will allow him to start deeper as a pseudo right-back if the Robins decide to roll into a 4-4-2 as they did against Cardiff last weekend . On @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see one of Cam Pring or Elijah Morrison start in McCrorie 's absence . There is every chance the former will return to the fold after Liam Manning confirmed he would be in contention this weekend , but City may opt to manage his return carefully given the amount of reoccurring hamstring issues they 've had so far this season . Cam Pring last featured for Bristol City on New Year 's Day ( Image : Photo by MI News/NurPhoto via Getty Images ) Because of that , we think Mark Sykes will continue on that flank as he did against Cardiff . Manning insisted his removal at half-time last weekend was just to provide the Reds with more energy and like many others in this side , the Ireland international allows the Robins ' head coach to change the formation on the fly . Between the two wing-backs , our bet is that Max Bird and Jason Knight will continue at the heart of midfield . Joe Williams could well get the nod now that he has served his suspension and Manning did praise the former @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we think he will be reluctant to break up his regular partnership in the middle of the park . Before reading further , this is a prediction of how we think Liam Manning will opt to start this evening , not our own opinion or what supporters want to see . Join Bristol City Live 's Whatsapp community for all the biggest Bristol City stories sent straight to your phone With that caveat out of the way , recent history suggests that Anis Mehmeti and Scott Twine will likely start again in attacking midfield . The former deserves to keep his place as he was excellent against Stoke City just last week and has shown that he is more than capable of creating a goal out of nothing , a trait not many of this current Bristol City side have . Twine 's inclusion would likely be a greater point of contention , however . The attacking midfielder has n't been at his best recently and was incredibly quiet before being withdrawn at half-time against Cardiff @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ starts games . The former Burnley man has been included in each of the Robins ' last 13 starting line-ups in all competitions and remained in the team after frustrating showings against the likes of Sheffield Wednesday and Oxford United . Manning could surprise us and opt to switch things up , but it would be unexpected . That does mean that Yu Hirakawa will likely have to settle for a place on the bench . It would n't be a surprise to see him get the nod on either wing or as one of the number 10s after his great cameo against the Bluebirds but it will just come down to how and where he fits into the system . Ahead of the two attacking midfielders , it will be a straight shootout between Nahki Wells and Sinclair Armstrong for the number nine shirt . Although the latter has been excellent in recent weeks , he has started both of the Reds ' last two matches and because of that , our bet is Wells will be given the nod instead . He remains City 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be crucial against a Boro side that has made a fair few errors at the back this season . |

Roula Khalaf , Editor of the FT , selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter . When does art become art , if the artist does n't self-declare as an artist ? Leigh Bowery lived a life of constant performance , collaboration and provocation , rooted in nightlife . The Australian became known for his extreme , body-morphing looks , mostly made by himself on a shoestring . He was personable , funny , talented , restless , fabulous and broke . Bowery arrived in the UK aged 19 in 1980 , lured from the Melbourne suburb of Sunshine by London 's punk scene . He was active in the city for just 14 years until his death at 33 from Aids-related causes . In that time , he became one of the most influential figures in late 20th-century global counterculture , working across art , fashion , music and dance . His life , work and impact are about to be celebrated with a major exhibition at Tate Modern . And yet Bowery himself did not exactly fit into the art world . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ says Fiont ? n Moran , the show 's curator . " He would say , ' if you label me , you negate me ' . " Tall and imposing , Bowery made garments and outfits that exaggerated his frame and taunted propriety . He had studied fashion in Melbourne , yet fashion itself bored him -- he had no patience for the behind-the-scenes production and sales needed to run a label . His garments were usually one-offs , at first fantastical subversions of jackets and dresses in shocking colours , designs that became increasingly more otherworldly and extreme . He wore what he made to clubs such as Cha Cha 's , below Charing Cross Station and his own night , Taboo , on Leicester Square . In 1983 , he began making costumes for choreographer Michael Clark , eventually joining the company as a performer himself . The garments cut against presumptions of dress as much as Clark 's choreography did against the traditions of ballet . A leotard with the buttocks cut out ; a dancing teapot ; a skullcap with lightbulbs attached : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were always immaculately made , amplifying the movement of the dancer . Bowery was staging performances in an art context as early as 1984 , at an event held in a church crypt organised by an artist collective , the Neo Naturists . That same year he was the subject of a work by British artist Stephen Willats , now in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery , expressing Bowery 's character through a collage of photos , cosmetics and other artefacts . This set the path for the next 10 years , of making work and appearing in the work of others , including , most famously , in portraits painted by Lucian Freud . Bowery did so without playing the art world game : he was never represented by a gallery , and did n't produce art objects to sell . Bowery 's practice was in stark contrast to a sudden arch commercialism among other young artists at the time , led by a student named Damien Hirst . His 1988 group exhibition Freeze , said to be the beginning of the YBA movement , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ By the birth of the YBA movement , it was seven years into the Aids pandemic . Aids killed possibility : we can not know what would have been made by those whose lives were cut short . Bowery 's practice , of making without conforming to labels , had a lineage in punk and queer alternative lifestyles of the 1970s . By looking at his output , before his own life was lost to Aids , we can consider ways in which art-making could have evolved . Because , of course , being inspired by Bowery does not necessarily mean emulating Bowery . My first memory of Leigh Bowery is from the January 1987 issue of The Face . I was 12 and had been buying the magazine for a few months . It featured a story on Trojan , Bowery 's sometime flatmate and , briefly , boyfriend , but it was Bowery who jumped out at me , the whirl of this world that encapsulated nightlife , performance , art and pleasure . I wanted to be in it . It was the realisation that anyone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ something to contribute . " They were just making things and were not thinking about its legacy or impact , " says Moran . " When you have meagre funds , anything you do is a miracle in a way , because you 're creating art out of nothing . It 's only in time that we see the significance . " With Bowery , that moment is now . For the past few months , many of his garments have been on show at Outlaws : Fashion Renegades of 80s London , an excellent exhibition at London 's Fashion Textile Museum . A biography by Bowery 's friend Sue Tilley , Leigh Bowery : The Life and Times of an Icon , has just been republished . And Leigh Bowery ! at the Tate Modern will place him fully in an art context . Bowery 's work asks us to accept the seriousness of what seems frivolous . In a 1988 appearance on the BBC 's The Clothes Show , he modelled seven of his sequinned dresses , each with a full face-covering mask , during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clip is hilarious but also stark , Bowery versus the strait-laced world . It was the year that the UK government introduced Section 28 , prohibiting local authorities from " promoting " or " teaching " homosexuality . It was also the year Bowery discovered he was HIV-positive , a diagnosis he kept secret . That same year , Bowery participated in a week-long residency at the Anthony d'Offay Gallery in London . Each afternoon , he would perform behind a one-way mirror , striking poses on or around a chaise longue , a different outfit each day . Street noises were piped into the space , as well as different smells each day -- banana or marshmallow . The artist Cerith Wyn Evans filmed each performance . One day , he brought with him his friend Lucian Freud , whom Bowery had already met one night at Taboo . Six of Freud 's subsequent portraits of Bowery will be in the Tate show . Bowery meant so much to Freud that , when he died , Freud paid for his body to be shipped back to Australia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Meanwhile , Bowery 's work became more focused , more extreme . In 1992 , he debuted his " Birth " performance at the London club night Kinky Gerlinky . Bowery appeared onstage in a striped stretch cotton dress , his body padded below to form an extreme stomach . He was wearing a harness , into which was strapped his collaborator and eventual wife , Nicola Rainbird . He lay on his back , writhed as if in pain , then Rainbird emerged naked , in body paint as if covered in blood . Bowery would cut a cord attaching them , then carry her as if a newborn . They performed the routine often , at the Wigstock festival in New York or with Bowery 's band Minty . The documentation of Bowery 's work , as seen at Tate , allows us to clearly place him within the context of international performance art . His brilliance came from breaking boundaries . " He was not scared of trying anything , " says Moran . " That 's what makes Bowery exciting to look @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fullest life , and embracing everything that 's on offer , without being too concerned about what it means , how it can be sold or how it can be marketed . He was completely uninhibited . " It 's a lesson that many young artists , caught in the trap of a faltering art market , could heed today . |

Punk legend John Lydon has spoken about the challenges he has faced since the passing of his beloved wife Nora Foster . Since Nora 's passing in April 2023 at the age of 80 , after being diagnosed with Alzheimer 's in 2018 , John said that he has ' wallowed in alcohol ' as he adjusts to being a widower . Speaking to Metro , John admitted that the death has adversely affected him , saying : " The truth of it is , I 'm only half the person I was when she was alive .

" John spoke about the difference between his performances now compared to the early days of his career , when singer with the Sex Pistols : " In the very early days , I was not disciplined at all .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses the intransitive verb 'come' with no NP object, and the phrase 'out of wallowing in alcohol and sadness and self-pity' does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks the 'out of VP2[-ing]' predicate and does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'out of' in a different context, indicating the basis or source of the commercial business.

Lee Harrison claimed that the murder of his girlfriend Ashley Dale caused a " downward spiral " which led to him dealing drugs . And yet he lied to her mum 's face and refused to cooperate with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Liverpool Crown Court in 2023 heard that Harrison was the intended target of the shooting in which Ms Dale tragically lost her life . The 28-year-old Knowsley Council environmental health officer died after 41-year-old James Witham burst into her home on Leinster Road in Old Swan in the early hours of August 21 2022 and opened fire with a Skorpion submachine gun . Her then partner was however " uncooperative " with the police in the aftermath of her death . The incident was said to have concerned an ongoing feud between Harrison and his former friends Niall Barry and Sean Zeisz , the organisers of the attack who Paul Greaney KC , prosecuting , said had ordered the gunman " to deal with anyone that got in their way , leaving behind no witnesses " . A series of texts and voice notes recovered from Ashley 's phone revealed what she termed " heavy beef " between the parties . This was allegedly sparked by the theft of ? 40,000 of cocaine several years earlier , a dispute which was then reignited following an altercation at Glastonbury @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Ms Dale made a one minute 43 second voicemail call to her boyfriend after she had been shot , although Harrison did not answer this call . However , she was apparently " not able to speak " at this time and " did not leave any discernible message " . He was said to have been enjoying a drink and drug fuelled night out with friends on the evening in question before taking a taxi back to Longview Heights in Huyton . During its journey , this car passed by a police cordon which had been established outside Ms Dale 's home following the shooting . When later spoken to by detectives , Harrison claimed that he " had no idea why Ashley or himself would be targeted " . He also " denied that he was under threat from anyone " and " could n't offer any reason at all " as to why Ashley had been shot dead . ? One officer described him as being " nonchalant and unhelpful " during their enquiries , while he " maintained he could n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " would be capable of killing Ashley , as their fallout had happened over three years before " . Harrison added that the man who was ultimately found to have ordered the hit had previously visited his and Ms Dale 's home " as a friend " and said he " could offer no reason for the shooting of his partner " , while he also denied having stored drugs or cash in his house . When detectives then visited him again in November , it was " discovered that he was in Dubai " . An officer would then visit him on January 31 2023 following his return to the UK in order to inform him that Witham and getaway driver Joseph Peers had been charged with Ashley 's murder . ? Harrison was said to have asked " have Zest and Branch not been charged ? " at this point , " Zest " being a reference to Zeisz . He also stated that Witham was " an old mate " and described Peers as " an electrician from Roby " . In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also been charged , he replied that he " did n't believe they were capable or responsible as he was fine with them " and " stated they must have been off their heads on drugs when they did it " . According to one officer , Harrison then began " frothing at the mouth " while " ranting about his name having been in the Liverpool ECHO " . He was described as " totally uncooperative " with the investigation into Ashley 's death . He was also said to have been " out of the UK in Dubai on a number of occasions " since . ? Witham , Barry , Zeisz and Peers were all convicted of offences including Ms Dale 's murder and conspiracy to murder Harrison . They were handed life sentences with minimum terms of 43 , 47 , 42 and 41 years respectively . Lee Harrison ( left ) with Niall Barry ( Image : PA ) Ashley 's mum Julie Dale has since spoken with disdain of Harrison on a number of occasions . She told the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to her daughter 's boyfriend 10 days after her death , saying of this meeting : " I made the decision that I had to see him . I had to go and see him and see what he had to say , and he sat there and denied he had any involvement . ? " He could n't think of any reason what it was to do with . He gave us three scenarios , one being a burglary gone wrong and some other ridiculous scenario that they came for somebody else who used to live in the property . None of the reasons were anything to do with him . " Straight away , when the police officers knocked at our house at quarter to three in the morning on the 21st of August , we said straight away ' where 's her boyfriend ? ' . It 's got to be something to do with him . It 's not just a random attack . Someone does n't just break into someone 's home and kill them . It 's got to be to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't have a conventional job , shall we say . You know he did n't have a nine to five job . I 'll be honest , I did n't know what he was up to . I still do n't know the whole truth of it , what he was doing . I was never happy about it . ? " Ashley was very career driven . Ashley was working up to become a chartered environmental health officer . She got up every morning and she went to work every single day the whole time her and Lee were together . " I used to tell her on a regular basis I was n't happy about her being with someone like that . By someone like that , I mean someone who did n't have the same hopes and dreams as she did . But , unfortunately , she just fell in love with the wrong person , and he did n't love her . " Ashley 's stepdad Rob Jones , who had been a part of her life since she was aged 12 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were ' this is nothing to do with him ' . He gave us three ridiculous scenarios of what it might have been , when all the time he 's known exactly what it 's over . He 's refused to help . ? " He might as well be in the dock with the six of them , because he 's no different from them . The most horrific thing in the world ever you could do another person , and to not just hold your hands up and say you know what , enough is enough here , I will tell the truth . And they carried on and carried on the selfish nature of all them . And Lee 's the same . " Ashley thought she could improve Lee . She thought she could turn him round , get him a job , get him a driving licence , could push his life in the right direction . Not that we knew how wrong a direction it was going in . " Holly Menary , prosecuting , told the same court on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bearwood Road in Kirkby , supplied the class A drugs on a county lines model , in an operation known as the " Kyle Line " . An investigation found they had sold to users " on at least 247 occasions " , with the estimated quantities involved totalling 222. g . These illicit substances came with a street value of between ? 8,892 and ? 22,230 . Their involvement was revealed after Merseyside Police stopped a BMW X3 on Jennifer Avenue in Kirkdale on the evening of November 25 last year , the vehicle having travelled through the Wallasey Tunnel moments beforehand . Rice was driving at the time , with an " agitated and nervous " Harrison being present in the passenger seat . His iPhone was seized at this time , although he refused to provide PCs with the pin code . ? A Nokia mobile phone and ? 920 were also recovered from the centre console . Ms Menary added : " When the defendants were asked who the Nokia phone belonged to , they both said it was not them . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Kyle Line . " Each defendant at times held the line and were in contact with each other when the other one was holding the line . Mr Rice used the line to contact his partner . Bulk messages were sent out to over 100 different users . This is indicative of both defendants being in control of the line at different times . " Officers then attended Harrison 's home address , gaining entry with a key found upon his person . His mum Sharon Harrison was present inside the three bedroom property at the time . ? When his bedroom was searched , " a number of items consistent with drug supply , including a block of cocaine " valued at between ? 4,760 and ? 11,900 were found . Other drug paraphernalia discovered including several white plastic bags , a mixing bowl containing brown powder , an adulterant for cocaine and a set of scales . Harrison 's mum 's bedroom was meanwhile found to contain " other items consistent with use for the same purpose " , including a bag @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bag containing brown herbs . Bags " containing remnants of white powder " were meanwhile seized from the living room . Rice 's home was also searched following the incident . This led to police seizing " a number of phone " , ? 4,035 in cash , a set of scales and an extendable baton from the 36-year-old . ? Terence Rice ( Image : Merseyside Police ) Harrison , who made no comment under interview , has three previous convictions for six offences relating to the possession of class B drugs and possession of bladed articles . Stephen McNally , defending , told the court : " The evidence really speaks for itself . The court will be very familiar with cases of this nature . " The indictment period is somewhat limited . It covers a period of less than two months . It appears that the amount of drugs supplied is less than a quarter kilogram of cocaine . ? " He accepts that he would hold the graft phone from time to time . That is indicative of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the organisation . He is in a hands on role . He was a foot solider who was required to get his hands dirty . There were drugs and mixing equipment at his own address , reinforcing that hands dirty element of his role . " He has limited antecedents , predominantly for simple possession of cannabis . This offending came on the back of a difficult period in his life . That is for reasons he does not wish me to ventilate in open court . He stresses that this is no way an excuse for his offending . " He suffered a significant bereavement . He lost his employment . He lost his home . He returned to living with his mother . His mental health took a downward spiral . ? " He did not own a car at the time . He felt as though he was trapped at his mother 's address . He sought a quick fix to break that financial spiral . He accepts that he chose the wrong avenue . In terms of his future , he hopes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in custody wisely with that in mind . " He has a supportive family . He is determined not to find himself in this sort of situation again . He expresses his remorse . His time on remand has not been easy . He is very , very keen to change his life for the positive . " Harrison pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply heroin and crack cocaine and possession of cocaine with intent to supply . Appearing via video link to HMP Liverpool , he was locked up for five years . ? Rice admitted conspiracy to supply heroin and crack cocaine , as well as further counts of affray , drug driving , drink driving and obstructing police in relation to an incident in the Cumbria area . Also appearing remotely from prison , he was sentenced to five years and two months behind bars . Sentencing , Judge Simon Medland KC said : " I accept the submissions made as to youth in your case , Mr Harrison . You are comparatively lightly convicted . You both have ambitions to lead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ community . " You are where you are because of the choices you have made to engage in this criminal behaviour . This is serious offending , not least because class A drugs , particularly , destroy people 's lives . ? " You were making a commercial business out of destroying people 's lives . These drugs break up families . They adversely affect society . You were making a trade out of that misery . A substantial sentence of imprisonment must follow . " Julie Dale told the ECHO following yesterday 's hearing : " We are going into our third year since Ashley 's senseless murder .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not exhibit either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

When you purchase through links on our site , we may earn an affiliate commission . Here 's how it works . ( Image credit : Rebellion ) Rebellion 's upcoming Atomfall already draws strong comparisons with Stalker , what with it being an open-world shooter set in a cordoned off zone in the aftermath of a nuclear disaster . But it seems the latest game from the Sniper Elite devs may also be taking a leaf out of Dying Light 2 's book , if the words of lead designer Ben Fisher are anything to go by . Speaking to VideoGamer , Fisher explained that Rebellion is using Atomfall to play with some ideas that they would n't have otherwise attempted in other games , stating " We took the creative pillars we were aiming for and just ran with them , so there 's some experimental @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't guarantee a result . " According to Fisher , this includes hidden events that can dramatically alter the world state , and Rebellion is n't entirely sure how these creative choices will be received by players . " There 's events the player can trigger or completely miss that can have a huge influence on enemy population in the game world , and stuff like that ... It might work , it might not ... I 'm looking forward to finding out . " On the face of it , this sounds a little bit like the ideas Techland had planned for Dying Light 2 , where player choices would affect which parts of the world were occupied by zombies and human factions . In the end , these ideas ended up being pared back in the final version of the story . But it was still an interesting idea that I 'd like to see explored elsewhere . That 's only my interpretation of Fisher 's outline , and the system he 's talking about could be entirely different . Fisher did provide some slightly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that it was designed as a more challenging " high-intensity experience " by default , and that its quest design would n't be overt in its directions , and that Rebellion wanted players " to feel more like a detective and have more of a sense of open freedom . " This detective element was what PC Gamer editor-in-chief Phil Savage enjoyed most when he took Atomfall for a spin last September , remarking upon how it gives you " leads " rather than quests . " This is the good stuff -- scavenging through a valley , poking around abandoned bunkers and finding clues that point to somewhere on the map . Teasing out mysteries that lead to conspiracies and unexplained phenomena and weird sci-fi nonsense . " He was less convinced by the moment-to-moment combat , however , calling it " A little bit janky and generally unrefined . " That was six months ago , though , so hopefully Rebellion has found the time to tighten up the combat systems in the interim .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks a VP2[-ing] predicate and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'out of nothing' is a prepositional phrase modifying 'free-kick', and the sentence does not involve a causee or causer relationship as required by the transitive out of -ing construction.

Michael Mellon hopes to make his first Valley Parade appearance ( Image : Thomas Gadd ) MICHAEL Mellon admitted a goal against City kick-started his senior career . Now the on-loan Burnley hitman is hungry to make his mark for them in the League Two promotion race . Mellon is lined up for a home debut against MK Dons this afternoon after getting his first start at Newport last week . With Calum Kavanagh recovering from a calf issue , the Scotland under-21 international is eager to grab his chance after waiting to get involved . City will be hoping Mellon rediscovers the form that saw him net 13 times for Morecambe in the first half of last season . That included a breakthrough afternoon against the Bantams when he scored twice in a 3-0 win as Derek Adams got one over Mark Hughes . Mellon scored the opener with a free-kick that beat Harry Lewis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before adding a penalty late on . " I was still very raw at that point , " he said . " It just took that free-kick out of nothing to make me feel that I belonged there . " Sometimes you just need that moment to burst through and get that confidence . It helped me out but I 'm sorry it had to be against Bradford ! " I remember when we turned up and it felt different to any other game because there was such an anticipation around it . " Derek Adams , especially , gave an interesting team talk and the lads were raring to go when he finished . " He was absolutely brilliant with me at a time when I needed it . I owe him a lot for that but I 'm trying to take as much as I can from the new manager and hopefully I can do the same for him as well . " Mellon is looking to revive his fortunes under Graham Alexander after a tough year since his golden spell with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not go well -- last week was the first game he had started since May . He added : " I guess that 's what loans are all about learning the game . Over the last year , I 've probably learned the bad side of it and hopefully I can get back to the good again . " If there 's one positive about my last year , it 's about being patient . I can take as much out of that as I can . " I feel like I 've aged a lot mentally . All I 'd known was that Morecambe loan when I knew I was going to play every game . " Obviously the higher up you go , the more competition you 're going to have . You just need to stay patient in that good mind space . " Having joined City early in the winter window , Mellon had to wait again before getting his first action from the bench against Wimbledon .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'Jorge Martin' (NP subject) 'crashed' (V1) 'himself' (NP object) 'out of testing' (VP2[-ing] predicate). It also involves a reflexive NP object coreferential with the subject, which is an atypical but acceptable type of NP object in the transitive out of -ing construction. The interpretation here is a movement/extraction interpretation, as the subject caused himself to move out of testing due to the crash.

One of the clear examples of how quickly things can change in motorcycle racing in 2025 was delivered by reigning MotoGP World Champion Jorge Martin , who crashed himself out of testing with fractures in his left foot and right hand on the first day of the official Sepang test back at the beginning of February . For TNT Sports MotoGP presenter Neil Hodgson , Martin 's injury has been a blow not only to himself and Aprilia , but also to this year 's championship . " I feel slightly robbed with what 's happened with Jorge Martin , crashing so early in the preseason test , " Hodgson admitted in an interview with Crash.net . " So , he 's ended up in a situation with zero data , zero experience riding that Aprilia ; the only good news is the Aprilia looks good in the hands of Marco Bezzecchi , who 's obviously super-talented as well . " The fast-paced nature of MotoGP weekends in the current era of segmented qualifying and Sprint races means that it will be difficult for Martin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same kind of speed as he might have managed during off-season testing . TNT Sports MotoGP presenter Neil Hodgson . Credit : TNT Sports . " It 's tough because the race weekends go so quick , and before you know it you 've got to try and get yourself into Q2 , you 've got to get that all-important top-10 in Practice , so there 's a lot of pressure on that , " Hodgson explained . The 2003 World Superbike Champion added that Martin has at least one characteristic that could help him in this regard , however . " One thing on his side that 's positive is that he 's already very natural at doing a fast lap time -- all through his career , " Hodgson said . " Some riders are n't as good when you put a soft tyre in and you 've got to really focus on that perfect lap , some riders find it difficult , but he 's always been incredible at it . " But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the Aprilia . " One of the things that I feel sorry for him ever so slightly is , because he 's missed all the testing , any development of the new bike will have gone in the direction of the feedback of Bezzecchi . " So , sometimes teammates like a different feel ; sometimes they do n't , sometimes they like the bike set very similar , I know some teammates I had where we were polar opposite ends of the scale . " So , he 's also got that to factor into it ; he 's got to hope that , when he jumps on the bike in Buriram , the base setting that Bezzecchi 's got the bike at will work for him .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It involves an intransitive verb 'come' with no NP object and the second predicate 'losing him' does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Freezing wind scorched my cheeks as I approached Southwark Coroner 's Court , a charmless building overlooking a car park , some recycling bins and the back of a housing estate . The dour surroundings seemed to hint at the work taking place inside , investigations of unexplained , unnatural or violent deaths . I was meeting my family there to hear evidence gathered as part of the inquest into my brother 's death . I wrote about Charlie , who died in 2021 at the age of 32 , once before . But I did n't delve into the circumstances of his death , as they were still under investigation . Three and a half years later , my family and I wanted answers during the week-long inquest . We hoped that two questions in particular would be answered : who , if anyone , contributed to my brother 's death ? And was it preventable ? Simply getting to the inquest on time had been a struggle . My partner and I divided up the work of getting our three small children to different @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and three-year-olds why I was rushing them out of the door . " It 's a very important week , " I told them . " I have to be quick , because I can not be late . A judge is going to speak to lots of people -- doctors and medicine people -- to try and work out why uncle Charlie died . " The kids are used to talking about uncle Charlie , and they recognise his face from photos . But they do n't understand death . Still , they seemed to grasp my need for urgency and bombarded me with questions about uncle Charlie all the way to school : Does he live in the sky , or in the ground ? Do I miss him ? What 's a judge ? My daughter told me not to worry . If I " dive " , she said , she 'd bring me back . Once inside the Coroner 's Court , I was asked to sign in , then directed towards a lobby area where everyone due to give evidence was sitting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Charlie 's death was complicated , and most " interested persons " or IPs , as the coroner refers to them , have their own legal representation . There were nine IPs in all , including my family and all the people Charlie interacted with in the 48 hours before his death : representatives from his doctor 's surgery , the London Ambulance Service , pharmacy chain Superdrug and NHS England , as well as a pharmacist who worked near his old flat and the receptionist at his surgery . There were also two people representing branches of NHS 111 , the phone service that provides medical advice across the UK . Stepping into the courtroom itself is like crossing through a portal to another decade : wood-panelled walls , ornate cornicing and a royal coat of arms with a magnificent lion and unicorn poised above the coroner 's seat . The coroner , Mr Xavier Mooyaart , also seemed to hail from a bygone era . Dressed in a pale pink shirt and navy blue jacket , with slightly floppy fair-brown hair , he looked every inch the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sense of order to what often felt like a chaotic process . Of the nine IPs giving evidence at court , three dialled in over video . Frustratingly , we lost hours of time to technology mishaps and glitches . But over the course of five days , the inquest developed a clearer picture of Charlie 's final hours . It also offered a macabre but fascinating glimpse of how medical practitioners in the UK interact with the public , and the code words patients might unknowingly say that can send them to the top -- or bottom -- of the urgency list . It shed light on the algorithms dictating which patients are prioritised over others . And it highlighted , again and again , the colossal pressure our healthcare system is under . Charlie was epileptic . He suffered his first " grand mal " seizure -- losing consciousness and crashing to the floor , limbs thrashing -- at the age of 14 . Afterwards , he struggled to control his epilepsy , having seizures weekly or monthly from his teenage years into his late twenties @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ starting a new job , travelling alone , being overtired -- but sometimes the seizures were simply random . Whenever I saw an ambulance , sirens screaming , bombing down the street , I would worry Charlie might be inside . Perversely , I now miss that fear . Charlie was unlucky too . Most people with epilepsy manage to control it completely through medication ; many end up no longer needing treatment at all . Charlie 's specialist doctors tinkered with different combinations of drugs to help control the seizures , but for years the fight often felt futile . There was a breakthrough around the time Charlie turned 30 , though . A new drug , Fycompa , alongside two other medications , proved transformative . Charlie 's seizures dropped to once or twice a year and , even then , there was often an identifiable trigger . He was more prone to seizures while exercising ; two of his last seizures occurred while playing basketball and while on a jog . But Charlie seemed to be moving into a new stage of his life , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the coroner put it while delivering his verdict , Charlie had been " close to remission " . Then came June 2021 . The UK was starting to emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic , although some restrictions were still in place . Charlie was living in Camberwell , south-east London , and studying to become an occupational therapist at Brunel University of London , a two-hour journey away . He had arranged to collect his repeat prescription of medication from the campus pharmacy on June 25 , a Friday . But that Thursday evening , he received a government alert telling him to self-isolate , as a close contact had tested positive for Covid . Charlie was due to run out of medication the following evening . Exactly what time Charlie called his GP practice on the Friday had always been in question . The evidence heard at inquest indicated Charlie told my mum and call handlers at NHS 111 that he had called his GP multiple times , beginning Friday morning , and that no one had got back to him . What is certain is that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Friday and sent an electronic message at 4.14pm , requesting an emergency prescription . This was never issued . By that Saturday morning , Charlie was getting stressed . He had run out of Fycompa . His campus pharmacy was closed until Monday , as was his GP 's office . He called my mum for help , she suggested he call NHS 111 to obtain an emergency prescription . NHS 111 was introduced in England in 2011 to provide urgent healthcare advice around the clock in non-life-threatening situations . Its launch under the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government was controversial at the time , as it replaced a previous service , NHS Direct , which had been staffed by qualified nurses and aimed to reduce pressure on GPs and emergency departments . NHS 111 , in contrast , is operated by " call handlers " , assisted by computer algorithms to make assessments . Call handlers are supposed to be supported by medically qualified clinicians to help deal with complex calls . Charlie called the service at 10.32am on Saturday morning . " Basically , I 've @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " he told the NHS 111 employee on the phone , according to transcripts presented in court . He explained the situation , and the call handler told him a repeat prescription or " referral " had been sent to his local pharmacy , Superdrug . Before ending the call , they added : " If there are any new symptoms or the condition gets worse , you have any changes , or you have any other concerns at all , then please give us a call back . " Charlie seemed pleased with the outcome . " Amazing , " he said towards the end of the call . " Thank you very much for your help , mate . " He made his way to Superdrug , calling my mum and asking her to drive over to go into the pharmacy on his behalf , as he was worried about breaching the self-isolation instructions . Charlie stood outside the pharmacy from around 10.45am that morning to 1pm , trying in vain to track down his medication . Initially , the pharmacist told my mum that NHS @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ NHS 111 back at 11.34am . His first call had been answered by the Yorkshire hub of the service . His second call went to a hub in Derbyshire . This branch had no record of the first call , so Charlie spent eight minutes phonetically spelling out his name , home address , previous address and the names and dosages of his medications . After that , the call handler reassured him the prescription had once again been sent to Superdrug . The transcripts of these calls are a crushing read for family members . Charlie 's voice , and his diction , shine through them so clearly . So too does his mounting fear and frustration . " Is there anything I can do to avoid having to go through everything again ? " he asked the second call handler , clearly already feeling pessimistic about the system working properly . " There is no reason why it should n't go through now , " the handler replied . This call ended with the same advice from the call handler : " If there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , changes or you have any other concerns , call us back . " After the second call , my mum re-entered Superdrug , only to again be told by the pharmacist that nothing had arrived from NHS 111 . At midday , Charlie called the service for the third time and ended up speaking to another call handler who introduced herself as a " health adviser " named Kelly . Kelly also had no record of Charlie 's previous calls , so he spent three minutes going over his name , address , date of birth and re-outlining the problem . This time , Charlie asked her to speak directly to the Superdrug pharmacist to clear up the confusion . In the transcript of that conversation , the pharmacist told Kelly that he only had two of the three medications Charlie needed in stock -- information that he did not relay to my mum or brother . The pharmacist urged Kelly to send a referral to a nearby Boots pharmacy instead . When Charlie resumed the call with Kelly at 12.08pm , she said he would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clinician " , someone with medical qualifications . This meant further delays . Charlie pleaded with her to simply send the same referral to a different pharmacy . " So what we need to do is send it back to the clinician , OK ? " Kelly told him . " And the clinician will contact you and you will be able to tell him which pharmacy you want it sent to . " " OK , do you know how long that will take ? " " I 'm unsure , but they will get in contact with you as soon as they can , " she replied . " Can I get a ballpark on what that means ? " " I 'm unsure . I have n't got a timescale on that . " Charlie 's exasperation finally hit breaking point : " Because it 's an emergency , do you understand ? Like ? . ? . ? . ? I do n't know if I made it clear ? " Kelly repeated that she did not have a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ eventually told him a clinician would call within two hours . " Is there no way I can put a rush on that ? " Charlie asked . " Unfortunately not , " she said . By this point in the records , Charlie comes across as increasingly desperate , asking Kelly to speak to his mum , " because I do n't think I really understand what is going on here " . My mum , who had been with Charlie throughout the conversation , took the phone and tried to get across the urgency of the situation . She told Kelly : " He has severe epilepsy , with life-threatening seizures fairly regularly , mostly prompted by frustration and anxiety , and this is becoming a frustrating and very anxious process for me , let alone for him , which is why he has now handed the phone to me . " So he 's now high and dry , on the verge of having an epileptic seizure , because he has n't had his medication . And he 's super stressed . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ call disconnected for some reason . Charlie was called back by one of Kelly 's superiors , whose role is described by NHS 111 as a " non-clinical coach " . The coach agreed with Charlie that he did not need to speak to a clinician , and called a second local pharmacy , Day Lewis , on his behalf . An audio recording of this conversation , which lasted less than 20 seconds , was played to the court . The pharmacist sounded harried and distracted and like he wanted the coach off the phone as quickly as possible . He said the drug was out of stock . Listening to the recording , it is not clear that the coach requested the correct drug , that the pharmacist heard her request properly or that he took the time to check his stock levels . Nonetheless , the coach called Charlie back and told him that there was possibly " some sort of supply issue " with his medication . She said he would need to speak to a clinician after all to get a new prescription @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by her predecessors : " If there are any new symptoms , the condition gets worse or changes or there are any other concerns , call us back . " At this point in Charlie 's " patient journey " , he effectively gave up on getting any help from medical practitioners . While waiting for a clinician to call back , my mum drove Charlie to his girlfriend 's flat , where he had some leftover medication . He was meant to take 8 mg of Fycompa every day . At his girlfriend 's flat , he found two 6mg Fycompa tablets , which were out of date . Still , it was better than nothing . Charlie decided to try and make the Fycompa last , taking one on Saturday and intending to take the other on Sunday . By Monday , he assumed , he would finally be able to track down the right meds in the correct dosages . My mum drove him back home , but tried to persuade him to spend the night at her house . He insisted he wanted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a stressful day by getting a takeaway and watching the football . Wales were due to play Denmark at 5pm in the Euros , and Charlie had a soft spot for the Welsh captain Gareth Bale , a former Spurs player . Italy were playing Austria at 8pm , guaranteeing a near six-hour-long stretch of uninterrupted football -- heaven for Charlie . That evening , he called his girlfriend , and they did the crossword together over the phone . He also spoke to my mum on the phone again , promising to come over for a Sunday roast . At 7.13pm -- nearly seven hours after Charlie was promised a call back by a clinician -- he was contacted by a London Ambulance Service call handler called Riley . He was n't told this at the time , but this phone call is what is formally described by the service as a " comfort call " . It 's effectively an apology and a welfare check . Riley said she was sorry for the delay , explaining there had been " a huge demand on the service @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ understand that , " Charlie replied . They discussed the events of the day , and Charlie told her he had formulated a new plan to head to his campus pharmacy on Monday and get by on what he had until then . He said he no longer needed a call back from a doctor . " Right , " Riley said . " Have you got any medication ? Have you got anything at all left until you can go and get that prescription ? " " Yeah , I have most of the drugs left , " Charlie said , adding : " I 'm a little short of one of them , the one that 's tough to get hold of . But yeah , I 've got enough to get me by until Monday . " " Right , Charlie , I just want to be absolutely clear -- are you happy for me to close the case ? " " I do n't want to waste your time , " Charlie answered . Riley wound down the conversation , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Call any time of day or night if you need us , any new symptoms , anything gets worse , changes , any other concerns -- just give us a ring , " she said . " I will do , yeah , " Charlie replied . " Thank you very much for your help . " The call ended at 7.20pm . An hour later , Charlie collected his takeaway , a chicken gyro in a polystyrene box , from his front door , returned to the sofa and placed the food on the coffee table in front of him . Then he stopped responding to messages . When the police broke into his flat the next afternoon , they found his body on the floor between the sofa and the coffee table . His takeaway was still on the coffee table , uneaten . Much of the inquest felt like a complex , legally fraught exercise in passing the buck . Almost every IP started and ended their evidence by offering their condolences . But almost no one seemed prepared to accept that they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with a straggly ginger beard , a big grin and smiling dark brown eyes , was propped on an easel in the corner of the courtroom . One of the most difficult things we discovered during the inquest was that there was no need for Charlie to desperately seek a prescription in the final 48 hours of his life . We only learnt after his death that , in the UK , individuals have the right to request an " emergency supply " of medication from a pharmacist even without a prescription . This fact was not relayed to Charlie or my mum by any of the health professionals they asked for help from that weekend . Mona Johnson , clinical director of NHS Pathways , the software used by all NHS 111 service providers and some 999 ambulance trusts to triage calls , gave evidence on behalf of NHS England through a video link . With neat brown hair tied back , dark-rimmed glasses and piercing blue eyes , she came across as clear , competent and a little scripted . She said Charlie 's predicament was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there had been approximately 28 million triages in the NHS Pathways system , of which about one million related to an emergency supply of medication . But she said patients were not informed of their right to an emergency supply because of fears they might misuse the system . " Access to controlled medicines needs to be very tightly controlled , " she offered as an explanation . " That is why the emergency supply route is not widely known about or advertised or put into the referral language for the NHS Pathways users to remit to patients . " Johnson seemed reluctant to admit anything had gone wrong at NHS 111 and , instead , suggested the pharmacist could have done more to help Charlie on Saturday . When asked whether the fact that Charlie was not called back within two hours by a clinician indicated the system had not worked as designed , she demurred . " No , " she said , " that reflects the service pressures more broadly . " She did make one important concession at the end of giving her evidence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ England looks back at the totality of what happened to Charlie ? . ? . ? . ? is it your assessment that ultimately the system worked ? " " It is clear from the outcome that the overall service delivered to the patient in its entirety failed , " Johnson replied . NHS England would examine this case in particular , she added , to assess how it could improve the safety of patients with conditions similar to Charlie 's . We only learnt after Charlie 's death that individuals have the right to request an ' emergency supply ' of medication Other troubling details emerged at the inquest . The receptionist at the GP surgery , who interacted with Charlie the day before his death , came across as overrun by his workload and , at times , disdainful of the human beings on the other end of the line . Dressed in a grey jumper and jeans , he told the coroner that on Fridays he typically answered " hundreds " of phone calls , but said it was very unlikely he would have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In terms of how he triaged patients , he said every caller was treated the same . However , if someone called in and was " adamant " about the urgency of their situation , they might be able to argue their way into a GP 's calendar before 11am . Anyone calling after that was unlikely to be dealt with that day . Prescription requests were unlikely to ever be considered urgent . Next was the pharmacy , Superdrug . The pharmacist Charlie encountered there was a locum , or temporary replacement , on his first-ever shift at the Camberwell branch . The assistant working that weekend was also new . Neither of them knew how to access the computer systems at that branch . Instead of admitting he could not access the system , the pharmacist repeatedly told my mum and brother that nothing had come through from NHS 111 . He also failed to inform them that the pharmacy did not even have the medication Charlie needed in stock for at least 90 minutes . In the evidence she gave , my mum said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " If he had told us at 10.45am that he could not open his computer and access the system ? . ? . ? . ? we would not have spent the whole morning stood outside Superdrug in Camberwell , begging for medication from NHS 111 . We would have avoided that build up of stress and anxiety which was a massive trigger for Charlie . He also did n't tell us that he did n't have the medication . That man ? . ? . ? . ? wasted Charlie 's last morning on earth . " Another issue that came to light during the inquest was NHS 111 's handling of the case . Charlie was ascribed different priority levels by the service 's call handlers . From the offset , it seemed apparent that the call handlers -- or the scripted prompts they were following -- could not fully address the needs of patients with conditions that can suddenly deteriorate , like epilepsy , diabetes , asthma and heart conditions , among others . Ending every call with so-called " worsening advice " , directing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any worse , was ludicrous . Charlie was either fit and healthy , or suddenly seizing . There was no halfway point . The idea he would have been able to call back while suffering a grand mal seizure was absurd . After Charlie interacted with Kelly and the non-clinical coach , he was transferred into a queue run by the London Ambulance Service to speak to a clinician at " priority level four " . This meant he should have been called by a clinician within two hours . Charlie was not considered a higher level of urgency because he seemed fine at the point of calling . He was n't having difficulty breathing ; his heart rate was normal ; he was merely , from the services ' perspective , seeking a repeat prescription . Neither the individuals he was speaking to , nor the tree diagrams that determined his priority level , seemed to compute that being undermedicated presented a threat to his life . Speaking at the inquest , Michelle Dady , a representative for the London Ambulance Service , said that even when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its clinicians , Charlie was unlikely to have been flagged as urgent , as " the patient had no symptoms or worsening conditions or any changes in any way " . " We had to prioritise those in immediate need , " she added . But she said that if her service had been made aware that Charlie had been waiting since 10am , had no access to medication and was isolating due to Covid , he would likely have been upgraded to a " priority level two " , which designates a call back within 30 minutes . The implication was the NHS 111 call handlers had not passed on enough information . The inquest finished 12 days before Christmas . Mooyaart , the coroner , said he wanted time to go over more than 100 pages of notes before delivering his verdict . In the interim , I started to do some research to assess how unusual Charlie 's predicament had been . Was his just a freak case involving a series of unfortunate mishaps ? Or were there potential flaws in the systems governing how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I found 20 " prevention of future death " reports issued by coroners in England and Wales raising concerns about how patients were triaged by NHS 111 , and various ambulance services and hospitals . There was one 37-year-old patient who requested an ambulance , after taking an overdose of a substance at a level that was at least 50 times more than the lowest fatal level . NHS Pathways assigned him a " category 3 " patient , which meant he was not seen for an hour . He was in cardiac arrest by the time an ambulance got there . The coroner noted NHS Pathways did not differentiate between types of drugs or chemicals ingested in overdoses , so they were all assigned the same rating . None of the pharmacy or NHS services seemed to compute that being undermedicated presented a threat to his life There was a 75-year-old patient , who spent seven hours seeking medical help after becoming seriously unwell . In that time , the man and his wife spoke to a GP 's receptionist , three call handlers , one nurse @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 9pm . But he declined to go to hospital , with the coroner noting he was likely " exhausted and almost beyond caring when he declined admission in the evening " . He collapsed during cardiac arrest just after midnight . The coroner found that the patient 's journey was " slow and inefficient " and questioned why the patient was directed to NHS 111 at all . Then there was the case of a 16-year-old girl , Hannah , who became unwell with severe stomach pain and vomiting . Her parents called NHS 111 , as they did not wish to overburden 999 , the UK 's emergency service . After speaking to two call handlers over the course of three hours , the parents were eventually advised to take their daughter to A&E . But her condition worsened considerably en route , and she entered cardiorespiratory arrest in the car . She was declared " brainstem dead " days later , according to the coroner 's report . The coroner in this case noted the public were potentially " being misled over the role and capability @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ There is little clarity or understanding by the public that the service is based on following and completing an algorithm by individuals who have no need for any qualification in healthcare and who will only receive a short training programme after they are employed . The parents indicated that if they knew this , they would have opted to ring 999 and the outcome would have been different . " The coroner also criticised NHS 111 for " misleading " the public by calling its call handlers " health advisers " . This title , she said , " implies professionalism which is untrue given their underlying skills and unsubstantiated given it is their role to complete an algorithm " . The coroner 's report was sent directly to the chief executive of NHS England . The public body 's response stated that " the term ' health advisor ' is predominantly an inward facing description to align with the service specification and with regard to career progression " . One month after the inquest concluded , we were recalled to Southwark Coroner 's Court to hear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and I felt far more emotional on my way there than I had during the inquest week in December . Before , I had been in " reporter mode " , compiling my own dossier of 92 pages of notes and annotated bundles of legal documents . But verdict day felt different . I was on tenterhooks , for Charlie . I walked there from my office in Blackfriars , crossing Southwark Bridge and taking a left on to Union Street . There , I paused , momentarily struck by a rush of nostalgia . This road used to be the halfway point between Charlie 's office and mine , and there stood a restaurant , Lupins , and a caf ? where we occasionally grabbed lunch . Once I reached the courthouse , I signed in at the now familiar lobby and joined my family in the waiting area . Just after 2pm , we were ushered into court . Mooyaart entered , took his seat and began his discourse with the forewarning it would likely take at least 90 minutes . My stomach lurched . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be considerate and fair towards all parties . He was also touchingly kind , within the confines of such a formal process . He noted how he had watched a video of Charlie provided to the court in lieu of a eulogy . " I heard this softly spoken and gentle young man describe how he undertook a bachelors in politics , " he said , " then worked for a disability charity and became passionate about helping people live , learn and work as independently as possible . I got the impression I would have liked to have met Charlie . " He also said that Charlie was not above criticism . " We must acknowledge that Charlie had ultimately left it a little late , " he said , noting my brother 's intent to collect his medication on the day it was due to run out was " cutting it fine " . But , he added : " He should , nevertheless , have been able to rely on pharmacy and NHS services to keep him safe over the next 48 hours . His situation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ urgently , and yet he did not get it . " Mooyaart ultimately found there were " a significant number of failures that arose and these conspired to likely contribute to his death " . These failures included the GP practice not escalating Charlie 's request for a prescription ; the pharmacist not being upfront about being locked out of his systems and being slow to communicate his lack of stock , and for failing to contact other local pharmacies or direct Charlie to A&E ; the NHS 111 call handlers failing to register the urgency of Charlie 's situation ; and the London Ambulance Service failing to get a clinician on the phone to Charlie within the expected two-hour timeframe . While summarising Charlie 's final hours , Mooyaart became emotional . " Charlie was called at 13 minutes past seven in the evening when all but a handful of pharmacies would have been closed , and by a health adviser , not a clinician , " he said . " Charlie had acquired a lower , out-of-date dose of Fycompa . At this point , exasperated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . He had a take-out , and the football , and tried to relax . That evening he seized -- " Mooyaart paused to compose himself " -- and passed away . Despite making multiple attempts over two days to get medication , the system missed many opportunities to better keep him safe . " Mooyaart issued a Prevention of Future Deaths report to NHS England -- a rare document issued in less than 2 per cent of inquests -- urging the public body to consider the risks posed to other patients with " cliff-edge conditions " . This is a term coined by my mum during the proceedings to describe individuals with medical conditions that can suddenly deteriorate , which many of the expert witnesses agreed was a helpful phrase . The report stated Charlie 's official cause of death as Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy ( Sudep ) , although it added that this was " likely contributed to by his lack of medication , despite his efforts to obtain it over the course of two days " . Mooyaart noted while delivering his verdict : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ similarly be vulnerable in future to not being appropriately identified , prioritised and advised . " My parents are preparing a civil claim to hold several parties to account . NHS England is due to respond to the coroner 's report in the next month outlining what , if any , changes it will implement . We got some of the answers we sought . Charlie 's death was avoidable . His story reminds me of the JB Priestley play An Inspector Calls , which examines collective social responsibility through the lens of the suicide of a young woman . By the end of the play , it becomes clear that an entire multigenerational family is at fault . In Charlie 's case , it was various arms of the National Health Service . The only positive to come out of losing him is that , maybe , the systems will improve from here . Then his death would not have been in vain . Once the hearing finished , my family headed to a nearby pub to raise a toast to Charlie . The oversized photo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ propped up at the head of the table . A pint of Guinness placed by chance near the photo created the strange illusion that he was with us . I had a gin and tonic , shared some pork scratchings and several packets of crisps , then rushed to collect my two older children from after-school club . I did n't talk to the kids about the verdict , as I did n't see the need . But sometimes , they just seem to pick up on things . A couple of evenings later , as we headed back home from school , the night sky was unusually clear . We were chatting about the usual -- what they had for lunch , who they played with that day -- when my five-year-old daughter paused on her scooter and stared upwards . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object and does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of going to the smaller meetings' functions as a complement to the verb 'get', but it does not involve a causee or the specific interpretations required by the construction.

Two men accustomed to enjoying weekend winners combined to execute a master plan as Katate Dori ran his rivals into the ground in a stamina-sapping Ladbrokes Trophy . Sam Thomas and Charlie Deutsch joined forces to win valuable staying handicap chases such as the London Gold Cup and Grand Sefton in 2022 and the pair teamed up again after the trainer 's retained rider , Dylan Johnston , opted to partner 2023 winner Our Power . That horse had to settle for third this time as his younger stablemate put in a jumping and galloping performance well in advance of his seven years to make it three wins from just four starts over fences , with his trainer and jockey given ample time to celebrate before the end of the race . Deutsch , who rides primarily for Venetia Williams , seldom seems to go to the races without partnering a major winner these days and he acknowledged the winning trainer as his mount made his way up the run-in 15 lengths clear of the Grand National-bound Hyland . " I obviously had lots of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the last , " the rider said . " I saw Sam on the inside of the track so I gave him a shout , and that 's why I celebrated in the way I did . " I had n't ridden the horse much , only over hurdles , so I did n't know that much about him , but Sam said to line him up and be positive .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'make a sport out of crushing women' involves a transitive verb 'make' with an NP object 'a sport', but it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes an activity or behavior, not causing someone to move out of or preventing someone from an action.

News from Ukraine has been terrifying all week . But nothing prepared me for the gut-wrenching horror of reading about the treatment by Russian forces of female Ukrainian prisoners of war . They told The Telegraph how they were tortured , beaten , starved and humiliated -- made to parade naked and freezing while singing the Russian anthem . Russia 's barbarism in general and in particular where female Ukrainians are concerned is a theme that goes back to the systemic , full-scale gang rapes with which they moved through Germany as the triumphant force in 1945 . Meanwhile , we are continuously reminded of Hamas 's infinite evil -- last week with the returning of the wrong body in place of murdered mum-of-two Shiri Bibas -- in which sexual violence and misogyny are a focal point . Horrors in Taliban-run Afghanistan where women ca n't show skin in public , or even their eyes through slits of fabric , are just taken as the accepted reality now -- despite a different world , guaranteed through the American presence there , less than a decade @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and many more -- hideous and systematic abuses of women for being women , feminism has found new focus . And surely it is about time , since the cause of women -- as held in Western corridors of power and learning , and the most enlightened and progressive channels of the internet -- has languished almost to bust in recent years , absorbed by the sight of its own navel . In the past 10 or so years , Western feminism has often felt like little more than a perverse joke . Having made a mockery of its liberal form -- poor Sheryl Sandberg 's very sensible advice to women to " lean in " for power and confidence is just a punchline now -- it has lighted instead upon a trans-focused politics . The result is that weirdly , instead of championing women in the myriad forms of adversity they still face here and around the world , Western feminism has become primarily a champion of biological men who insist they are women . So what happened when news of the treatment of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? Alas not . No sign whatsoever of a renewed focus on the actual dangers facing actual women . Indeed , feminist TikTok has been alight with the sad tale of a female anglerfish that is now trending as a " feminist icon " -- due to the fact that its perilous journey to the surface , during which it died , could be seen as akin to a life full of female suffering . Elsewhere , the feminist internet was buzzing with the news of a new book by Sophie Lewis called Enemy Feminisms : TERFs , Policewomen , and Girlbosses Against Liberation in which Lewis argues that feminists -- from Mary Wollstonecraft to the suffragists -- were nothing but handmaidens of other forms of oppression . Western feminism is racist , colonialist , transphobic , anti-sex work and " even , weird as it may sound , misogynistic and patriarchal " . How helpful . And it is only -- or rather , mainly in the West -- where feminism has become , at least at the level of discourse , such a waste of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when we had women tirelessly trying to lobby for the law to be changed so that we could have the vote , or not be exclusively held responsible and punished for the spread of VD , Western feminism was a noble force , albeit one with lashings of a sexual conservatism that could sometimes feel a bit patriarchal in itself . There are still women in the West that are beaten and killed and abused just for being women -- they are surely a better focal point for feminist action and thought than TERFs and " girlbosses " . And there is still , enshrined in many corners of a rapidly unravelling world , the systems of misogyny and women hatred , from Russia to many countries in Africa and Asia , that make a sport out of crushing women . A conservative figure for rates of abuse of women worldwide is one in three , or 736 ? million -- this figure does n't even include rates of sexual harassment , according to UN Women , which does have a feminist brief . Well , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unspeakable sexual abuse ( as well as torture , abduction and murder ) of Israeli women on October 7 was released , UN Women had little to say . Meanwhile , Western feminists in the progressive wave were more likely , following the generally sick assertions by the far Left , to find a way to blame Israel , or deny the facts . The overall resounding silence was sobering ; partly a clarification that in their view , when it 's Jewish women who are raped and tortured , it 's fine , and partly a clarification that feminism -- under that name -- has utterly lost its way . Gone are the days when feminists like Catharine MacKinnon ruled the roost , a formidable lawyer who was instrumental in getting rape recognised as a war crime in international law in the 1990s . Now we are stuck with the products of too much post-colonial and post-structuralist theory , refracted through the inanity and disinformation of Tik Tok . The women abused by Russia , and the hundreds of millions of others around the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to find new champions . |

Galaxy AI is the collective name for all of the generative artificial intelligence features available on Samsung 's flagship phones . By tapping into apps and learning the behavior of users , Galaxy AI 's tools aim is to change the way people interact with their devices by making AI integral to how the devices operate . In that sense , it acts like a digital companion to automate tasks and offer suggestions and recommendations . It also allows for greater productivity and creativity thanks to advanced editing tools , so read on to find out what it 's capable of doing and why you should use it . This article was correct as of February 2025 . AI tools are updated regularly and it is possible that some features have changed since this article was written . Some features may also only be available in certain countries . Samsung 's unveiled Galaxy AI in January 2024 , boldly claiming it was set to " reshape the technology landscape " . Introducing a new set of features for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , advanced transcriptions and innovative methods of searching . Galaxy AI would also , Samsung went on to say , deliver useful responses to text prompts and help users write messages to suit a particular style . Key to it all was a drive to get people using AI every day to perform basic tasks -- effectively getting people used to having a helping hand . To encourage that , it said Galaxy AI would operate many of the functions on-device rather than overly rely on external cloud systems . Samsung has also continued to add new features and will do so long into the future as , in its own words , it seeks new ways to get things done . Sign up for breaking news , reviews , opinion , top tech deals , and more . Contact me with news and offers from other Future brandsReceive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsorsBy submitting your information you agree to the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ / Lance Ulanoff ) Galaxy AI has some very useful features and a number of them are just there , ready and waiting . You can use the Google Gemini chatbot and turn sketches into images . But one of the most notable features is the Now Brief which was released in 2025 . As well as displaying the weather , it draws upon data in your wallet , email , calendar and accessories to offer personalized daily briefings that evolve throughout the day , based on your personal schedule and habits . The AI also has a tool called Circle To Search which operates in partnership with Google . It 's extremely clever , allowing users to circle , highlight , scribble or tap on-screen objects to look up whatever is being focussed on . More recently , sound recognition such as music has been added to this tool 's feature-set . Other great tools include Audio Eraser , which gives you the ability to use AI to edit audio and remove background distractions and disruptions . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ important parts of videos to create a highlight reel . Photos can be manipulated to move , remove and enlarge parts and there are all manner of writing tools so you can quickly and effectively communicate with others . Being able to translate conversations in real-time makes the world seem a smaller , more accessible place , too . Galaxy AI is n't going to be a wonderful research aid . It does n't have the capacity to dive deep and deliver comprehensive reports but that 's not what it 's about . Such capabilities may come if and when , as expected , ChatGPT or Gemini becomes part of Galaxy AI , but , for now , the emphasis is on enabling you to get things done on a day-to-day basis and transforming how you use your device -- a Samsung device , we hasten to add , because you ca n't use Galaxy AI for cross-platform artificial intelligence . As it stands , Samsung 's AI features are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2025 on supported Galaxy devices . After that , who knows ? There may be a subscription or there may be a cost for some selected , advanced features . To use Galaxy AI , you need a Galaxy device , and that means having a Galaxy S24 series ( S24 / S24+ / S24 Ultra ) , Galaxy S23 series ( S23 / S23+ / S23 Ultra ) or Galaxy S23 FE . You can also use Galaxy AI on the Galaxy Z Fold series ( Fold5 / Fold6 ) and Galaxy Z Flip series ( Flip5 / Flip6 ) . It 's available on Galaxy Tab S10 series ( S10+ / S10 Ultra ) and Galaxy Tab S9 series ( S9 / S9+ / S9 Ultra ) as well . You can try the features on other Android phones and iPhone too . ( Image credit : Samsung ) According to TechRadar 's editor-at-large Lance Ulanoff , Galaxy AI is more useful than a chatbot and it 's been praised @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It 's fair to say that some aspects of AI can feel like a gimmick but Galaxy AI 's tools work seamlessly and , as Lance adds , it 's " not the least bit intrusive " . One thing 's for sure , Galaxy AI has had a big impact on the industry . As the first AI to be integrated into a phone in this way , rather than in the form of apps , it has nudged rivals -- most notably Apple -- to go in the same direction . You have a Galaxy device -- after all , it 's there , it 's available , it 's easy to use , it 's useful and you 're not paying anything extra for it so you really have nothing to lose in giving it a go . You should use Galaxy AI if you want to get the most out of editing your photos and videos and you should use Galaxy AI if you want to record , transcribe and summarize your calls . It 's good at doing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You do n't have a Galaxy device -- but then you wo n't be able to anyway because it requires a Samsung device to work . Do n't use Galaxy AI if you 're looking for a chatbot-style conversation and do n't use it if you 're after doing some deep research . If you 're looking for a phone purely because you want to make use of AI , then the big consideration is whether or not you go for Galaxy AI or opt for the rival Apple Intelligence for iPad , iPhone and Mac . You should also consider Microsoft Copilot , which also has a Circle to Copilot option available in the Edge browser. |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses the phrase 'get the most out of editing' which is a different construction where 'out of' is part of a prepositional phrase modifying 'the most', and 'editing' is a gerund serving as the object of the preposition. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the sentence does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

In that sense , it acts like a digital companion to automate tasks and offer suggestions and recommendations . It also allows for greater productivity and creativity thanks to advanced editing tools , so read on to find out what it 's capable of doing and why you should use it . This article was correct as of February 2025 . AI tools are updated regularly and it is possible that some features have changed since this article was written . Some features may also only be available in certain countries . Samsung 's unveiled Galaxy AI in January 2024 , boldly claiming it was set to " reshape the technology landscape " . Introducing a new set of features for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , advanced transcriptions and innovative methods of searching . Galaxy AI would also , Samsung went on to say , deliver useful responses to text prompts and help users write messages to suit a particular style . Key to it all was a drive to get people using AI every day to perform basic tasks -- effectively getting people used to having a helping hand . To encourage that , it said Galaxy AI would operate many of the functions on-device rather than overly rely on external cloud systems . Samsung has also continued to add new features and will do so long into the future as , in its own words , it seeks new ways to get things done .

You can use the Google Gemini chatbot and turn sketches into images . But one of the most notable features is the Now Brief which was released in 2025 . As well as displaying the weather , it draws upon data in your wallet , email , calendar and accessories to offer personalized daily briefings that evolve throughout the day , based on your personal schedule and habits . The AI also has a tool called Circle To Search which operates in partnership with Google . It 's extremely clever , allowing users to circle , highlight , scribble or tap on-screen objects to look up whatever is being focussed on .

It does n't have the capacity to dive deep and deliver comprehensive reports but that 's not what it 's about . Such capabilities may come if and when , as expected , ChatGPT or Gemini becomes part of Galaxy AI , but , for now , the emphasis is on enabling you to get things done on a day-to-day basis and transforming how you use your device -- a Samsung device , we hasten to add , because you ca n't use Galaxy AI for cross-platform artificial intelligence .

To use Galaxy AI , you need a Galaxy device , and that means having a Galaxy S24 series ( S24 / S24+ / S24 Ultra ) , Galaxy S23 series ( S23 / S23+ / S23 Ultra ) or Galaxy S23 FE . You can also use Galaxy AI on the Galaxy Z Fold series ( Fold5 / Fold6 ) and Galaxy Z Flip series ( Flip5 / Flip6 ) . It 's available on Galaxy Tab S10 series ( S10+ / S10 Ultra ) and Galaxy Tab S9 series ( S9 / S9+ / S9 Ultra ) as well . You can try the features on other Android phones and iPhone too .

One thing 's for sure , Galaxy AI has had a big impact on the industry . As the first AI to be integrated into a phone in this way , rather than in the form of apps , it has nudged rivals -- most notably Apple -- to go in the same direction . You have a Galaxy device -- after all , it 's there , it 's available , it 's easy to use , it 's useful and you 're not paying anything extra for it so you really have nothing to lose in giving it a go .

Do n't use Galaxy AI if you 're looking for a chatbot-style conversation and do n't use it if you 're after doing some deep research . If you 're looking for a phone purely because you want to make use of AI , then the big consideration is whether or not you go for Galaxy AI or opt for the rival Apple Intelligence for iPad , iPhone and Mac .

" Against Sunderland it was the same , we keep going until the end and today we have what we deserve . " In the last 20 or 25 minutes of the first half I think we were dominant and had our chances but we could n't score a goal .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'low-income families' is the NP object and 'being able to afford to eat healthily' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also induces a prevention interpretation, as the charity is warning that low-income families are being prevented from being able to afford to eat healthily due to being priced out. The verb 'priced' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure metaphorically. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

She also has very few levers to pull , as major tax changes have been ruled out , and the tight economic situation has left her with very little wiggle room in the nation 's finances . There are , however , a few options on the table that could help Reeves tackle the cost of living crisis without major implications for the Treasury . The problem Despite Russia 's invasion of Ukraine happening over a thousand miles away , its effects have still been felt closer to home . Since 2022 , energy prices have experienced significant volatility due to the energy crisis triggered by the conflict , as European countries scrambled to replace Russian gas supplies . The previous Conservative government brought in the energy price guarantee that year , which capped the maximum gas and energy bills a household could pay at ? 2,500 . However , this scheme ended in 2024 as rates stabilised . The UK has also had an energy price cap since 2019 , set by the energy regulator Ofgem , which limits @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . This helps protect millions of household energy customers from volatility in energy prices , but this fact is small comfort when Ofgem , the energy regulator , decides that the cap has to rise . According to Cornwall Insight , the energy price cap is set to rise to approximately ? 1,823 per year from April for a typical household , up from ? 1,738 . Consumer advocacy groups have expressed concerns that this increase will push more households into fuel poverty . According to National Energy Action , over 6.5 million UK households are already struggling to afford their energy bills , and the April rise could worsen this situation . Energy bills are set to increase from April as the Ofgem price cap rises ( Photo : Jacob King/PA Wire ) Potential solutions To tackle the growing impact of energy bills and help boost economic growth , the Government is understood to be considering " zonal " pricing , which would see rates lowered in certain regions of the UK . The i Paper exclusively reported last month that such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ officials were exploring how it could be used to drive growth in Britain 's advanced manufacturing sector and encourage businesses to build factories in regions with abundant , cheaper energy . Such a system would mean areas like Scotland or the North of England , which have higher levels of electricity generation from offshore wind farms and relatively lower demand , would have lower prices . On the other hand , it would mean that the South of England , with its dense population and limited renewable energy , would have higher prices . The future of this idea , however , has not been confirmed and can not be implemented in time to offset the April price rise . In the meantime , there are some existing schemes that the Government could either expand or boost awareness of , such as the warm home discount scheme . It provides a ? 150 discount to eligible low-income households and was used by 2.5 million in the 2022 to 2023 financial year , an increase of 400,000 from the previous year . However , while there are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on this discount , it is expected to be quite low . The majority of eligible claimants receive their discount on their bills automatically , with only around 8 per cent having to contact the scheme 's helpline to claim it . And , despite the limited options , concerns over rising energy prices are also unlikely to go away . There have been warnings that a lack of sufficient gas reserves , coupled with the push to rely on renewable energy and the continued decommissioning of the country 's remaining nuclear power stations , will leave consumers facing higher bills for the foreseeable future . Last month 's Arctic blast meant Britain was forced to pay gas power stations ? 5,500 per megawatt hour for just 400MW , as opposed to the usual ? 45 to ? 65 , which pushes up energy bills and feeds into Ofgem 's next price cap decision later this month for the period starting in April . The problem After a period of aggressive interest rate rises , the Bank of England has begun lowering rates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cut the base interest rate from 4.75 per cent to 4.5 per cent -- the lowest level for 18 months . This was the third cut since August 2024 , but the Bank 's Governor , Andrew Bailey , said it will take a " gradual and careful " approach to further reductions . These cuts matter because the rate is used as a basis by lenders setting rates on mortgages and loans . Experts are predicting that mortgage rates , which have been dropping over the past year , will continue to fall across 2025 and brokers have told The i Paper that rates for some customers could reach as low as 3.5 per cent by December 2025 . However , despite these cuts , many mortgage holders are still experiencing high costs , and lenders have been slow to pass on reductions , meaning mortgage rates remain elevated compared to pre-pandemic levels . Rental prices have also surged , adding further financial strain to households . According to the Office for National Statistics ( ONS ) , private rents increased by 8.7 per cent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from 9.0 per cent in the 12 months to December 2024 . Despite this marginal decline , renters are still facing historically high costs , with affordability worsening in many cities . The best thing that Reeves can do to help mortgage rates is to keep inflation low , which will make future interest rate cuts probable . Outside of that , much of her focus has been on helping first-time buyers frozen out of the market due to high house prices and difficulties obtaining a mortgage . The Chancellor met with mortgage lenders in January , urging them to reconsider the affordability rules that currently limit the options for those looking to buy their first home . According to The Times , options discussed included increasing the salary multiplier used to calculate how much someone can borrow , allowing banks to include evidence of rental payments when issuing mortgages and cutting the amount of capital banks need to keep in reserve for 90 per cent loan-to-value mortgages . Ministers have also committed to implementing a " new , permanent , comprehensive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first-time buyers struggling with affordability . The current scheme , which helps buyers secure mortgages with smaller deposits , is due to expire in June 2025 , meaning the Government has a few months left to announce the full details of its replacement . Another option that has been touted is reforming the lifetime ISA ( Lisa ) withdrawal penalty to help more buyers . Currently , savers can withdraw money from a Lisa without a penalty once they turn 60 or if they use it to buy a property costing up to ? 450,000 . If these rules are breached , they face a 25 per cent penalty . There have been calls to boost the upper limit , which has remained unchanged since 2017 , to reflect increased house prices , and to reduce the penalty for early withdrawals . Advocates of both argue these measures could give savers greater flexibility and choice when saving for a deposit and buying their first home . One more avenue the Government could explore is reviving the Help to Buy scheme , which ran from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ properties for first-time buyers but ended in 2023 . Advocates of the scheme said it helped to stimulate housebuilding , but critics have argued that it incentivises developers to increase the price of properties which makes the home harder to sell in the future . As for helping renters , the Government hopes its Renters ' Rights Bill will offer more protections for tenants by ending no-fault evictions and preventing landlords from demanding large amounts of rent upfront . But some groups , including homelessness charity Shelter , have called for the bill to be strengthened with measures such as rent controls and a detailed landlord register . The problem Inflation remains a significant concern , particularly as food prices continue to rise . The latest data from the ONS shows that overall inflation stood at 3 per cent in January 2025 , with food price inflation increasing from 1.9 per cent to 3.1 per cent over the same period . Essential grocery items such as bread , dairy , and fresh produce have seen some of the steepest increases , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is n't over , as modelling by the British Retail Consortium has suggested that food prices will rise by an average of 4.2 per cent in the second half of the year . The lobby group said that much of this rise is expected to be driven by rising employer national insurance contributions , an increase in the National Living Wage and new packaging levies driving up costs , which will leave little room for retailers to absorb price pressures . This increase could have a real impact on the nation 's health . Analysis from January by The Food Foundation found that 1,000 calories of healthy food such as fruit and veg costs ? 8.80 , compared to ? 4.30 for the equivalent amount of less healthy food , such as ready meals and processed meats . The charity warned that low-income families are being priced out of being able to afford to eat healthily . Food bank usage has also surged , with the Trussell Trust reporting a 30 per cent increase in emergency food parcel distribution compared to the previous year . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ year ( Photo : Justin Tallis/AFP ) Reeves has been clear that boosting growth and creating jobs is her key strategy when it comes to combating the effect of persistently high inflation in the long term . In the short term , she has very limited options when it comes to keeping food affordable . The main reprieve for families struggling with food bills could be that the National Living Wage is set to rise to ? 12.21 per hour in April 2025 , representing a 6.7 per cent increase . Though this change is expected to contribute to inflation , it could also ease the pressures on low-income households . To tackle the issue of food inflation directly , the Government is working on a new food strategy , expected to be released sometime in 2025 , which will look at improving food security , tackling obesity and encouraging innovation in the UK 's food sector . Rules put in place by the Conservatives in 2018 have excluded 800,000 children growing up in poverty from free school meals . And another 200,000 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . The Government could seek to end this by scrapping the arbitrary household income threshold , and automatically enrolling every eligible child . As for long-term measures to tackle inflation more broadly , the Chancellor set out a new set of plans in January . The headline of these was her backing for a third runway at Heathrow airport , which has been delayed for decades due to environmental concerns . Reeves argued that expanding Heathrow would enhance the UK 's status as a global business hub and improve connectivity . Beyond aviation , Reeves laid out plans for a " growth corridor " between Oxford and Cambridge , which she described as a potential " Silicon Valley of Europe " . This initiative includes new reservoirs to address water shortages and investment in high-tech industries , with the Government estimating it could add ? 78bn to the UK economy by 2035 . The cost of living crisis has disproportionately affected lower-income families , many of whom rely on benefits or are being pushed into claiming . The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ since March 2022 and was at a record high of 7.5 million in January 2025 . This is the highest number of people to receive universal credit since it was introduced in 2013 . As of August , 4.8 million people were claiming welfare to support them through a disability in England and Wales , an increase of 450,000 . Once Scotland , where disability benefits are in the process of being devolved , is taken into consideration , the total number reaches close to five million . This increase in benefits claimants could prove costly in the long term . According to the Institute for Fiscal Studies , spending on working-age health-related benefits rose from ? 36bn in 2019-20 to ? 48bn in 2023-24 and is projected to rise even further to more than ? 60bn by 2029 . Reeves has warned that the state of the public finances limits her ability to bring in sweeping changes to help struggling households . Her focus has been on getting more people off and benefits and into work . The Labour Government plans to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ welfare system , including reassessing long-term sickness and disability benefits more frequently , and implementing a youth guarantee that requires individuals aged 21 and under to engage in work or training to avoid losing benefits . Additionally , they aim to modernise Job Centres and integrate NHS , skills , and work support to address the increasing number of people out of work due to long-term sickness . It is expected that changes to sickness and disability benefits could see up to ? 5bn in savings for the Treasury , but the question remains of how this saving is spent . Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall is said to be pushing for the savings to be reinvested in expanding back-to-work programmes for the long-term sick . However , the Treasury is reportedly keen to use the savings to plug gaps in the Government 's spending to prevent the need for spending cuts or tax rises in the future . But there have been calls for benefit claimants to be helped more directly . Labour MPs are pushing for a review of the two-child benefit cap @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ poverty in families with three or more children by a range of experts . Removing it would cost up to ? 3.5bn , and Reeves has previously argued the public finances do not allow for the cap to be scrapped . Instead , the Government launched the task force to inform its long-promised child poverty strategy , and has not ruled out considering changes to the cap and other forms of welfare to alleviate poverty . Much of the Government 's focus has been on boosting growth to help those on benefits , but a recent report by anti-poverty charity the Joseph Rowntree Foundation warned pushing for economic growth is not enough . It said an analysis of the Office for Budget Responsibility and Bank of England forecasts revealed that levels of poverty and deep poverty would remain " broadly flat " for the next four years " without additional action from the Government . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('price passengers out of using taxis'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, meaning that the action of pricing could prevent passengers from using taxis. The verb 'price' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure metaphorically, and the NP object 'passengers' functions as a causee who participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'using taxis'. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

London black taxi fares are to rise by almost 7.5 per cent from April under proposals due to be rubber-stamped on Wednesday . Transport for London has recommended the increase -- two-and-a-half times the current rate of inflation -- despite concerns that it will have a disproportionate impact on disabled Londoners who rely on the cabs . TfL said the rise was necessary to cover the increasing cost of running a cab and to " try and ensure that taxi driving remains a viable career " . TfL sets taxi fares and regulates the industry but does not have any say in the fares charged by minicab firms or drivers working on apps such as Uber . TfL 's finance committee is expected to approve a 40p increase in the minimum taxi fare -- meaning the meter will start at ? 4.20 -- and a 5.05 per cent increase in most of the tariffs , which vary according to the time of day the journey is made . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 7.48 per cent , equal to a calculation which measures the cost of running a cab and which also compares cabbies ' earnings to other wage rises . In April 2024 , the minimum fare was frozen but the tariffs were increased by 8.9 per cent . The rate of inflation was three per cent in January , the most recent figure available . The taxi industry had sought the increase , saying that a failure to increase fares " would mean taxi drivers were unfairly penalised and would exacerbate the existential problem of falling taxi driver and vehicle numbers " . But London TravelWatch , the passenger watchdog , said it was important not to price passengers out of using taxis . It said high fares and fare increases were likely to " disproportionately disadvantage people who rely on taxis for accessibility or safety reasons " . Transport for All , the accessibility charity , said the minimum fare and the daytime , evening and weekend tariffs should be frozen . It said that disabled people already faced higher living and transport costs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fare increases for Taxicard members -- which offers disabled people subsidised taxi journeys - would be " particularly severe " , as members would reach the capped fare limit more quickly , forcing many to make fewer journeys or travel shorter distances . The changes mean passengers will be charged between ? 4 and ? 5.12 per mile , depending on the time of day their journey takes place . TfL said the cost of running a cab had increased due to higher vehicle costs and a " large increase in insurance " . Respondents were asked to rate London taxis on value for money . Just under half ( 49 per cent ) said they were good or very good value for money , with 31 per cent saying they were poor or very poor value for money . But separate research carried out by TfL found that 62 per cent of taxi users said they thought that in general taxi fares were too expensive , with 36 per cent saying they thought taxi fares were about right . Hammersmith & Fulham council said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But Westminster council backed the increase in the minimum fare and the tariffs that TfL is expected to approve . TfL said : " It is important that taxi drivers are fairly paid to try and ensure that taxi driving remains a viable career , licensed taxi drivers do not stop being a taxi driver and people will consider applying to become a licensed taxi driver . " If the number of licensed taxi drivers falls , then this could affect the supply of taxis and increase the risk that taxi users are unable to get a taxi or have to wait longer for a taxi . " There could be an increased risk to the safety of some people if taxi wait times increase or they are unable to get a taxi ; ( f ) the number of applications to be a licensed taxi driver and the number of newly licensed taxi drivers is very low . " Although there was an increase in the number of applications to become a taxi driver in 2023 , the number is still significantly lower than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " The number of licensed taxi drivers has been falling since 2013/14 and is now at its lowest since 1978 . " TfL also revealed there has been significant increase in the number of taxis booked via phone apps rather than being hailed in the street . A total of 27 per cent of taxi passengers had used an app for their most recent taxi journey , and on average 19 per cent of taxi drivers ' work was from taxi apps . TfL warned that the use of apps could leave passengers open to extra charges , such as cancellation fees , which it does not set nor regulate . It may seek to tighten the taxi regulations as a result . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'takes much of the sting out of leaving Vinewood' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a reduction in the negative feeling associated with leaving Vinewood, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

When you purchase through links on our site , we may earn an affiliate commission . Here 's how it works . ( Image credit : Rockstar ) This April will mark 10 years since GTA 5 launched on PC , and in that decade , I 've seen more Los Santos sunsets than real ones . That 's largely thanks to GTA Online , in which I 've sunk nearly 400 hours into running heists , building business empires , and generally being a nuisance to the long-suffering friends who 've joined me for the ride . I tend to slip back into GTA Online for a few weeks every year -- often in summer , when cruising through Blaine County feels right -- but it 's felt rather strange of late . In 2023 , the reveal of GTA 6 called the future of GTA Online into question . Will it step aside to clear space @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those unwilling to say goodbye just yet ? Strauss Zelnick , head of Rockstar 's parent company Take-Two , has since waded in to not-quite answer that . Speaking earlier in the month , Zelnick claimed the publisher has " shown a willingness to support legacy titles when a community wants to be engaged with them , " and " generally speaking , we support our properties when the consumers are involved with those titles . " Though Zelnick seems to have thrown a lifeline out to fans who have found a second home in Los Santos , I 'm conflicted . A decade of its shenanigans make Rockstar 's opportunity for a clean slate all the more appealing -- and although GTA Online has come to mean a great deal to me , I 'm ready to say goodbye and head to swampier shores . GTA Online was the first current-gen game I played on the first PC I ever built . I can still remember the giddy rush of robbing convenience stores for petty cash , cackling with friends as we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could n't believe a game could look so good , and even now , I 'll stop what I 'm doing to admire Los Santos ' golden-drizzle sunsets , or the way rain splashes off tarmac streets and beats on windshields . I was rarely alone . Though I 'd nip online for solo gun deals when the grind really held me in thrall , for the most part I 'd play with company . Sessions would begin productively -- we 'd tackle longer heists , or stuff our warehouses with ill-gotten gains to sell -- but as they bled into the early hours of the morning , our goals would become a little less-defined . Games within games formed . We invented the sport of Dooring -- that is , to dive out of a moving car with the goal of hitting someone with its still-open door -- and perfected the comedic timing of switching the station to Rebel Radio when least-expected . Often , though , we 'd end up going for aimless drives , lounging in each other 's properties , or sitting on top of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . As more pals joined our criminal enterprises during the Covid-19 pandemic , it became clear that GTA Online was a social sandbox first and foremost . ( Image credit : Rockstar ) There are likely thousands of little micro-communities like ours in GTA Online , not to mention the custom roleplay servers where players have learned to coexist in Los Santos at a grander scope . Whatever shape GTA 6 's online mode takes , that social element will persevere -- especially given Rockstar now owns multiplayer modders FiveM -- and the thought of changing scenery with friends in-tow takes much of the sting out of leaving Vinewood .

From a more mechanical perspective , a clean break from GTA Online offers Rockstar a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ slate . Can you imagine a more grounded sandbox , one that did n't jump the shark with missile-spewing flying motorbikes ? GTA Online walked face-first into power creep -- and despite a series of well-intentioned nerfs , never quite untangled itself from that particular mess . It 's an opportunity to take a decade of learnings , and apply them from the beginning -- something many studios would likely kill for . On the other hand , there 's an argument to be made that GTA Online has simply grown too large to be ignored . For those who have sunk real-world money into pricey properties and flashy vehicles , abandoning it all will feel all the harder -- and if Rockstar does keep servers up , I can certainly see many players sticking with what they know . Personally , I 'm ready to move on . Closing the chapter on 400 hours of progress will sting , but the thought of starting anew and making more memories ( hopefully with less flying death bikes ) makes saying goodbye easier .

Musicians fight AI , a ' big bump in the road ' for Gaza truce , and female chefs THE EXPLAINER Musicians have released a silent album as part of protests over a planned law change that would make it easier for tech firms to train artificial intelligence models on artists ' copyrighted work . Kate Bush , Damon Albarn and Annie Lennox are among the 1,000 musicians behind " Is This What We Want ? " , which is intended to highlight what they say is the threat posed by AI to their livelihoods , and those of other artists , journalists and authors working in the UK . Why is it important ? The UK 's " gold-standard " copyright laws " have helped to attract and nurture creative talent " and instil confidence " that their work has lasting value " , said The i Paper 's editor-in-chief Oliver Duff . The current copyright law is " very clear " , said The Guardian : text and data mining @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ generative AI models -- is unlawful for commercial purposes , without a licence . " The principle that original material can not be ripped off , and that creative people have rights over their work is widely understood and accepted . " How might the law change ? Labour has signalled an intention to change these laws to enable AI companies to use creative content without requiring payment or permission . The government has been consulting on proposals that include a so-called " rights reservation " system that would require content creators to actively " opt out " of having their work used and copied by tech groups to train AI models . What have artists said ? In an open letter to The Times , artists , writers and musicians including Bush , Andrew Lloyd Webber and Paul McCartney said the proposed changes would " smash a hole in the moral right of creators to present their work as they wish " . Taking our copyright " will devastate the industry " , they wrote . But if the UK does nothing or makes changes in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ artists to opt in rather than out -- we risk " falling for the worst of all worlds , where we have neither protected the creative industries nor got a domestic AI industry " , a government figure told the Financial Times . Without the work of artists , musicians and journalists , there is nothing on which to train the AI models in the first place . TODAY 'S BIG QUESTION The first stage of the Gaza ceasefire , comprising hostage-prisoner exchanges between Israel and Hamas , expires on Saturday but talks on the second phase , which were due to start weeks ago , have yet to begin . Now , both sides are accusing the other of deliberately breaking the fragile truce . Israel has postponed the release of 620 Palestinian prisoners , blaming Hamas ' " cynical exploitation " of its hostages for " propaganda purposes " . Hamas has refused to engage in further talks until its prisoners are released . What did the commentators say ? This " latest big @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comes after Hamas handed over the remains of deceased Israeli hostages on Thursday -- but the body claimed to be that of mother Shiri Bibas " turned out not to be her " . The discovery sparked widespread " anger and shock in Israel " , as Benjamin Netanyahu denounced the " cruel and malicious violation " of the agreement . Her body was returned on Friday , but the past few days show " how fragile the ceasefire process remains " . The prisoner-hostage exchanges " suited both Israel and Hamas " , said The New York Times . Every hostage " brought relief " to Israel , while Hamas ' " prestige was bolstered among Palestinians " with every released prisoner . With these swaps set to end on Thursday , Netanyahu is " under heavy pressure from hard-line coalition partners " to resume fighting , said ABC News . But the Israeli PM also faces " heavy public pressure " to get the remaining hostages back . " I do n't think the ceasefire will collapse , " said Sanam Vakil , of the Chatham House @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it 's " not in Netanyahu 's interest " . What we are seeing is " political hardball " . What next ? " Urgent high-stakes negotiations " for Phase Two are set to begin next week , said The Telegraph . If successful , it would " effectively mean the end of the war " . But experts warn that talks are " unlikely to go smoothly " . Hamas has offered to release all 61 remaining hostages -- half of whom are believed to be dead -- in " one fell swoop " in return for a permanent ceasefire and a withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza . But Israel is still demanding the complete disarmament of Hamas , which the group has rejected . QUOTE OF THE DAY Geoscientist Benjamin Cardenas says data from China 's Zhurong rover suggests almost half of Mars was covered by an ocean about 3.5 billion years ago . The findings of the new study , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ team , add to evidence that the red planet was once habitable . Six in 10 Britons ( 62% ) think Ukraine should be allowed to join Nato , according to a YouGov survey of 2,231 adults .

IN THE SPOTLIGHT Female chefs are feeling burned after only one restaurant run by a woman was among the 22 in the UK and Ireland awarded a Michelin star this month . To make matters worse , the woman -- Emily Roux ( pictured above ) of London 's Caract ? re -- was given a male chef 's jacket to wear to join her 21 fellow winners on stage for a celebratory photo . " Mistakes happen , " she later told London 's The Standard , " but I was the only woman on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Male chef 's worldThe Michelin awards ' record on gender parity has attracted scrutiny before . A 2022 report found that of the 2,286 Michelin-starred restaurants in the world , only 6% were led by women . That does n't mean women were n't in the kitchens , but the Michelin star is awarded to an establishment 's head chef rather than the wider team that supports them . And those chefs are still overwhelmingly male . Systemic inequalities that leave women shouldering the bulk of childcare and household duties are an obstacle to advancing in any profession , said industry network Worldchefs , never mind the " unique and intense demands " needed to reach the highest echelons of a culinary career . ' Hostile and intimidating'The " macho culture " in kitchens can also make them " hostile and intimidating " for aspiring female chefs , said Hospitality & Catering News . Last week , 70 female chefs wrote an open letter to The Times denouncing a " culture of fear " in British restaurants that they claimed spanned from " inappropriate comments and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ female chefs ' experience of professional kitchens involves " severe sexual harassment " , said The Telegraph .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'opted out of drinking', where 'drinking' is a gerund functioning as a noun, not as part of a VP[-ing] predicate with a causee. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Here, 'opted out of drinking' does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'drinking' is the activity being opted out of, not a VP2[-ing] predicate with a causee.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate structure. Instead, 'opted out of drinking' involves a reflexive action without a separate NP object functioning as a causee, and it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'Trump' is the NP subject, 'locks' is V1, 'us' is the NP object, and 'using our own fighter jets' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also induces a prevention interpretation, as it implies that Trump prevents 'us' from using our own fighter jets by locking us out. The verb 'locks' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure, and the NP object 'us' functions as a causee. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Sir Keir Starmer has been urged to protect thousands of UK jobs by buying British-made fighter aircraft as part of a ? 13.4billion boost to defence spending . Unions want the Government to buy Typhoon aircraft , manufactured largely by UK defence giant BAE Systems , instead of F-35s produced by US firm Lockheed Martin -- although many of the parts for the F-35 are also made in the UK . It follows the Prime Minister 's announcement that defence spending will increase to 2.5% of GDP from April 2027 , a rise of ? 6billion once inflation is taken into account . Sir Keir said the cash will keep the nation safe and " unlock prosperity through new jobs , skills and opportunity across the country " .

This decision needs to be made in the UK 's favour . " Any thought of wooing Donald Trump by selling our defence jobs abroad and replacing the RAF fleet with US-made F35s will be resisted and would be an act of self-harm . " We simply ca n't find ourselves in a situation where Trump wakes up in a bad mood and locks us out of using our own fighter jets .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('talk myself out of feeling suicidal and wanting to die'). It involves a reflexive NP object ('myself') coreferential with the subject ('I'), which is an atypical but acceptable type of NP object in the transitive out of -ing construction. The interpretation is prevention, as the subject is attempting to prevent themselves from feeling suicidal and wanting to die.

An ECHO investigation has discovered how a consultant psychologist told a suicidal man he was ' being mischievous ' and called him a ' serial complainer ' An investigation was launched after a consultant psychologist told a suicidal man he was ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after he called in desperate need of help . An ECHO investigation has found that a consultant psychologist employed by Mersey Care NHS Trust , was the subject of an investigation by the trust following the phone call , which occurred in August 2022 . ? Documents seen by the ECHO state the investigation found that there was evidence to suggest the consultant - who we can not name for legal reasons - was in breach of his duty of care towards his patient and displayed evidence to support allegations of ' negligence , abuse of power and intimidation ' towards the man who had called asking for help . Further documents , seen by the ECHO , show the trust accepted that it breached its duty of care in relation to the phone call and that this led to the patient taking a subsequent overdose three days later . The trust offered a ' sincere ' apology to the patient for what it said was the ' substandard care ' that he received , adding : " The Trust is extremely sorry that this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pay a settlement to the patient . ? The patient , who has asked not to be named , has supplied the ECHO with an audio copy of the phone call between himself and the psychologist . In the conversation , the man asks to be put through to a senior clinician or whoever is in charge , before the consultant comes onto the call . The man explains that his mental health has deteriorated and that he does n't know what to do . The psychologist suggests the man draws on previous therapy he has had in this area , to which the man says he has n't had specific therapy for his current condition , which is leading him to feel suicidal . Again the psychologist urges him to draw on previous therapy . The man says he is ' perplexed ' at this explanation . ? At this point the consultant states : " It 's much better when people operate as their own therapists rather than looking to other people to dig them out , because life is n't like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and it sounds to me like one of those occasions . " The patient responds : " No one has ever taught me about how I can talk myself out of feeling suicidal and wanting to die . " The man then suggests the doctor has ' gone around the houses to say nothing ' in terms of his advice . At this point , the consultant psychologist can be heard to tell the suicidal man : " I think you are being mischievous and I am going to put the phone down for that reason . You seem to be argumentative , you seem to be trying to create an issue because you are a serial complainer of course , we are all aware of that . I think you are trying to draw me into a situation that might result in you finding a reason to complain . We are all aware of it , I am afraid . " ? The suicidal man then explains that he is recording the call because he is concerned at what the doctor is saying . The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ law and because he has not given him permission , adding : " Not that I would be bothered anyway . " He then puts the phone down . Speaking now about the impact of the call on him , the man told the ECHO : " When I originally was put through to the consultant in August 2022 , I was in crisis . My mental health was so poor that , at the time , I could not see a point in continuing . I had no fight left . I no longer wanted to live with the overwhelming emotions and distressing thoughts I was experiencing . I reached out , as a last resort , simply seeking support . " Instead of that much needed support , I was goaded and mocked by the consultant psychologist at Mersey Care . Instead of helping me , he refused to provide even the most basic of care . Indeed , he failed to even escalate to anyone that I was suicidal , meaning no other healthcare professionals were aware . Therefore , no follow up or welfare @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ explained that he went on to take an overdose two days after the call , in what he says was a genuine attempt to end his life . He then sought treatment and recovered . Having submitted a complaint to Mersey Care , the man says the trust initially refused to accept the complaint and that once it had been logged , his mental health treatment was stopped while the investigation took place , leading him to have no support for the subsequent 12 months . The man says he was continually kept in the dark about the status and findings of the investigation and only found out the details when he completed a subject access request to a Merseyside council . ? That request provided him with a safeguarding adults referral form , produced by the council following a referral from Mersey Care regarding the incident . That form , seen by the ECHO , details the phone call that took place between the man and the consultant , adding : " During the telephone call ( the psychologist ) did not do any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' and stated ' you seem to be trying to create an issue , because you are a serial complainer ' The form adds : " A fact finding investigation has been carried out and it has been found that there is evidence to support the following investigations made by the patient : Breach of duty of care ; negligence ; abuse of power and position ; intimidation . It adds that the Mersey Care investigation also found that the psychologist was in breach of the standards of the Health and Care Professions Council standards . ? It added that when the investigation began , the psychologist was asked to cease all clinical work - including the supervision of others . It is not clear when the form was created , but it stated that a disciplinary hearing was being organised at some point . The ECHO asked Mersey Care about his current working status but was told they were unable to discuss matters involving individual members of its workforce because of rules governing data protection and confidentiality . Responding to our investigation , a Mersey @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of several complaints made by the patient about his care and treatment . A statement said the trust was sorry that his ' treatment fell below the expected standard of care , ' adding : " We would once again like to offer an apology . Mersey Care prides itself on treating all concerns and complaints about our staff and services with the highest Priority . Article continues below A spokesperson added : " We are unable to discuss matters involving individual members of our workforce because of rules governing data protection and confidentiality . " " The Trust is committed to learning and we have reflected and will review our practices and continue to work with ( the patient ) to resolve his concerns . " The HCPC said it does not make details of any allegations public until a case proceeds to a hearing . The ECHO has made numerous attempts to contact the consultant psychologist for a response . |

The owner of a seafront Airbnb property has been foiled in their efforts to fence off part of a Sussex beach . The plans to change the use of a section of beach to a private garden for a property in Middleton have been rejected by Arun District Council . The owner of Sea Willow , located at 35 Central Drive , Elmer , had erected a single post and rope fence enclosing the area , which they incorporated as part of the property 's private space . The property is described on Airbnb as having a " private beach area " and offers a 16-person , " five-star " luxury beach house experience . A two-night stay during July costs around ? 2,500 .

The change of use was also found to detract from the surrounding coastal landscape 's character . Alongside the council 's decision , objections came from various parties , including Middleton Parish Council and 19 nearby residents . Concerns were raised about the potential obstruction of the King Charles III coastal footpath , the proposed development being out of character with the area , and the setting of a precedent for other applications along the beach .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('you've been bailed out of doing most of the unpalatable things'). It involves a prevention interpretation, where the action of bailing prevents the object from doing the unpalatable things. The verb 'bailed' fits into the category of means to achieve a goal (by means of deception or trickery). The NP object 'you' functions as a causee, and the sentence can be paraphrased to show prevention ('by means of bailing, you were prevented from doing most of the unpalatable things').

Green-led Bristol City Council has agreed its annual budget , with four changes suggested by other parties and a 4.99 per cent increase in council tax . It comprises a total of ? 1.7bn in spending across day-to-day services , schools , council housing , the harbour estate , public health , and major investments called capital projects . Both Lib Dem amendments -- to carry out a study into the possibility of introducing a tourist tax , called a visitor charge , on hotel guests , and making it easier for residents to donate to community organisations , were both approved . Two of Labour ' s 11 proposed changes to the budget were also passed , both with the casting vote of full council chairman and lord mayor Cllr Andrew Varney ( Lib Dem , Brislington West ) , following a tie on 34 votes for and against . These were to cap a proposed 15 per cent hike in the cost of meals on wheels to 4.5 per cent and reducing cuts in funding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cameras , increasing littering fines from ? 150 to ? 250 and graffiti removal . But Labour 's other amendments , including spending ? 1m to reopen public toilets that it shut under then-mayor Marvin Rees in 2018 , were voted down , although the Greens announced they were committed to investing in on-street lavatories . The Conservatives ' amendment , to reinstate ? 3.4m cuts in the Council Tax Reduction Scheme for the poorest households and put the money into keeping district car parks free of charge , reducing bulky waste fees , bolstering the authority 's neighbourhood enforcement and planning teams , installing bleed kits and ? 1million of road improvements , was rejected by all other groups in the chamber . The CTRS cuts were one of several controversial measures in the original Green-led administration 's draft budget that were shelved over the last few weeks in the build-up to the annual budget meeting . " Alongside our internal investment we also propose to spend over ? 400m in areas such as parks and green spaces , delivering new council housing , repairing aging highways @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ homes for children in care . Thirty English councils are working with the government to leverage borrowing of around ? 1.5bn to stave off bankruptcy . " Those councils that are reliant on this exceptional financial support to stave off financial disaster will now find themselves laden with high levels of debt -- debt that in many cases will only be paid off by fire-sales of council assets . We were left in a difficult position , but I am proud that we have not needed to enter into such a relationship with the government , which would only damage Bristol 's long-term financial sustainability . " We owe it to our residents and businesses to ensure we spend their money wisely and well . " Labour group leader Cllr Tom Renhard ( Horfield ) said the Greens had removed some of the worst ideas from the original proposals .

Conservative group leader Cllr Mark Weston said his party was seriously worried about changes to transport , libraries and waste services , with an ongoing public consultation into reducing black bin collections to every three or four weeks , and that Labour was producing more spin than the movie Twisters .

" But while we have set this budget , the work does not stop here . By working together , we will achieve more for the city , we will work better and garner more trust and confidence from those who elected us , regardless of political party . " By doing this , we will focus on the job at hand , put the petty politicking , the petitions and headline chasing aside , and instead focus on what is best for the people of Bristol .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'made a career out of being...', which does not involve a causee or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of being...' is more about the means or basis of the career rather than causing or preventing an action.

In this article , we at GiveMeSport provide a look at the 10 superstars with the most Elimination Chamber appearances in history , featuring Edge , Daniel Bryan and more . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Years 1 Randy Orton 9 1 2003 , 2005 , 2010 , 2011 , 2013 , 2014 , 2019 , 2021 , 2024 2 Chris Jericho 8 1 2002 , 2003 , 2005 , 2008 , 2009 , 2010 , 2012 , 3 John Cena 7 3 2006 , 2009 , 2010 , 2011 , 2014 , 2017 , 2018 4 Triple H 6 4 2002 , 2003 , 2005 , 2008 , 2009 , 2010 5 Kofi Kingston 6 1 2010 , 2012 , 2015 , 2019 , 2021 6 Daniel Bryan 5 3 2012 , 2013 , 2014 , 2019 , 2021 7 Kane 5 0 2002 , 2006 , 2009 , 2011 , 2013 8 Sheamus 5 0 2010 , 2011 , 2014 , 2015 , 2021 9 Liv Morgan 5 0 2019 , 2020 , 2022 , 2023 , 2024 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2009 ( twice ) , 2011 Several wrestlers have taken their place in the Elimination Chamber on a total of four occasions during their careers . For the no.10 entry on our list , though , we have opted for the most successful of this group . Edge 's combination of cunning and ruthlessness made the Chamber the perfect platform for success on the part of ' The Rated-R Superstar ' . The now-51-year-old is the only superstar in history to have played his part in two Chamber matches in a single night , back in 2009 . He also features on a short list of names to have won multiple Elimination Chamber matches - first in 2009 , and again two years later , in 2011. Credit : WWE The sole woman on our list takes the No. 9 spot . Despite the Women 's Elimination Chamber having only been given the green light in 2018 , Liv Morgan has taken her place inside the demonic structure on five occasions . For context , no other woman has featured @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ qualified for the 2025 edition of the event , too , set to extend her record as a result . Despite her prolific appearance record at the PPV , Morgan is yet to secure a Chamber victory . But she has been responsible for several highlight moments and will go down as one of the pioneers of the women 's matchup. Never has a match type been more tailor-made for a superstar than the Elimination Chamber for Sheamus . ' The Celtic Warrior ' is physicality personified , widely considered to be one of the downright toughest wrestlers in WWE history . His place on the list of the 10 superstars with the most Chamber appearances should therefore come as little surprise . Sheamus has stepped inside the ropes in the Chamber on five occasions across his storied career , most recently in 2021 . Like Morgan above , the Irishman is yet to taste victory in the match but has put his body on the line for a series of memorable spots . Another whose persona and physical attributes align perfectly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Big Red Machine ' made a career out of being one of the downright nastiest wrestlers in the game , making him a perfect fit for the Chamber . Kane is another who can claim himself a pioneer of the match type , having featured in the first-ever Elimination Chamber back in 2002 . On that occasion , it was Shawn Michaels who emerged victorious , with Kane having not managed to improve his winless record across four ensuing appearances at the event . He can boast of being the first superstar to ever throw an opponent through one of the Chamber pods , though , having turned Chris Jericho into a human projectile during the debut Chamber . The 2nd multiple-time Elimination Chamber winner on our list comes in at no.6 . Daniel Bryan , throughout his iconic WWE career , enjoyed remarkable success inside the Chamber . Like one-time tag partner Kane , ' The American Dragon ' appeared in the match type on five separate occasions . And , three times , he emerged as the last man standing , enough @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ triumphs inside the structure came a full nine years apart , in 2012 and 2021 respectively . Amid a rare run as a heel in 2019 , the now-43-year-old also broke the hearts of WWE fans across the globe , in denying Kofi Kingston the belt at the very death . Some of the greatest technical wrestlers of all-time have performed for WWE Posts Coincidentally , next up on our list comes the aforementioned Kofi Kingston himself . Kingston 's stellar longevity sees him feature on a whole host of lists when it comes to appearance records in WWE history . And the Elimination Chamber is no different . The New Day member has stepped inside the Chamber six times to date . Four of these appearances came as a singles performer , with the other two having come as part of a tag team . And it was alongside then-New Day brothers Xavier Woods and Big E that Kingston secured his sole win at Elimination Chamber . As part of a chaotic six-team match back in 2015 , the New Day managed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the likes of The Ascension and Lucha Dragons . Next up comes , statistically , the greatest Elimination Chamber wrestler ever . Triple H may not have appeared in as many such matches ( 6 ) as those to come , but he did win more than any other . ' The Game ' played his part in each of the first three Chamber matches , emerging victorious from the latter pair . In 2005 , his triumph came at the expense of arguably the most star-studded field in the history of the event , beating out all of Batista , Edge , Randy Orton , Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit . ' Hunter ' reigned supreme in successive years in 2008 and 2009 , too . His final appearance at Elimination Chamber came a year later when the current WWE CCO fell to John Cena . Triple H 's legacy inside the structure , though , will live on for years to come . Kicking the podium places on our list into gear is ' The Greatest of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the most successful superstars in the history of the Elimination Chamber , joining Daniel Bryan with three victories to his name . The Massachusetts native has excelled in just about every match type imaginable throughout his career . And his brute strength and never-say-die attitude proved decisive inside the Chamber in all of 2006 , 2010 , and 2011 . All told , Cena has stepped inside the caged structure on seven occasions , with his eighth and final appearance pencilled in for March 1st , 2025. Taking the runners-up spot on the list of most Elimination Chamber appearances in WWE history is Chris Jericho . Y2J was the ultimate endurance athlete , an attribute which made him a perfect fit for the likes of the Royal Rumble , and Chamber . He was entered into the match on eight occasions , including the very first back in 2002 . After a demoralising five successive defeats inside the structure , Jericho was finally afforded his moment in the spotlight in 2010 . Beating out the likes of The Undertaker , Rey Mysterio and CM @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ St. Louis , Missouri . Jericho 's final appearance at Elimination Chamber came in 2013. And then there was one . The wrestler with the most-ever appearances inside the Elimination Chamber is Randy Orton . ' The Viper 's seemingly endless longevity has allowed him to step inside the cage on a hefty nine occasions . Orton 's first appearance in the match type came back in 2003 , a full two decades before his most recent outing at Chamber , in 2024 . And , like Jericho before him , the 44-year-old has a solitary victory to show for his efforts . As much came in 2014 , when ' The Apex Predator ' outlasted the likes of John Cena and Daniel Bryan to maintain his status as champion . Showing no signs of slowing down any time soon , Randy Orton could well extend his record Elimination Chamber appearance tally over the years ahead ! |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('It prices people out of being able to stay here'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the subject 'It' (likely referring to some economic force or situation) prevents 'people' from 'being able to stay here' by means of pricing. The NP object 'people' functions as a causee, and the construction fits the semantic and syntactic criteria of the transitive out of -ing construction.

A pensioner has lamented the parking woes on his own street due to rising tourist numbers . Andrew says that when he arrived in Bruton , Somerset , about 60 years ago , the town had a " rather depressing " atmosphere but has seen significant changes over time . Now , with the town 's transformation , largely driven by tourism , new challenges have emerged , notably parking difficulties caused by " large vehicles cluttering up the street " every day . Despite its picturesque countryside which now proves essential for Bruton 's economy , Andrew struggles to find parking space along his road . " There are large vehicles cluttering up the street - parking is a problem . Sometimes I have difficulty parking my car - everyone seems to have a car now , " he explained , remembering how even six decades back , the high street was lacklustre . Alongside his gripes with parking , Andrew also expressed concern about the property market shifts in the area , approximately 30 miles @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ownership and properties being turned into Airbnbs for tourists has , according to him , driven local housing prices up , making it harder for residents to afford homes . He told MailOnline : " Local people like me would find it difficult to buy a house . A lot of people use their houses as Airbnbs rather than selling them . " The report highlights the influx of affluent Londoners to Bruton seeking a calmer lifestyle , a trend that escalated following the COVID-19 pandemic , reports the Mirror . Bruton has seen a rise in new residents from London ( Image : Jonathan Buckmaster ) The community has felt the impact of newfound popularity , with parking turning into a major issue . Stripy Duck cafe ' ' s manager Angeliki , aged 57 , spoke about the rapid rise in residents : " I noticed in 2021 there was a big influx of people actually moving here .

It is quite trendy here . It is an up and coming place with very nice restaurants . " Notably , Bethany does not drive , which has presented her with certain challenges in getting around .

Ruben Amorim 's revolution wo n't properly take off until he signs a reliable shot-stopper , and there are a host of strong options to consider Manchester United must bring in a new No.1 goalkeeper . That was the obvious conclusion to make after Andre Onana 's latest nightmare performance in the Premier League on Wednesday . Just four minutes into United 's home game against Ipswich , for reasons known only to him , Onana raced off his line towards a long ball despite Patrick Dorgu already being on the case , which in turn led to the full-back poking the ball past him straight into the feet of grateful Ipswich winger Jaden Philogene , who was then left with the simple task of rolling the ball into an empty net . Yes , Dorgu should have just cleared his lines , but Onana 's poor judgement and lack of communication created an issue out of nothing . Philogene probably could n't believe his luck after scoring his second goal of the night in first-half stoppage time , either , as his tame , low @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ far post . Fortunately for the ' keeper , United ended up winning 3-2 in front of an exasperated Old Trafford crowd , despite playing the entire second half with 10 men after Dorgu 's stupid red card .

United have made some terrible errors with goalkeeping purchases down the years , with Massimo Taibi and Mark Bosnich generally seen as the two biggest flops , but Onana is at best beginning to rival them . Ruben Amorim can not take this United squad forward with Onana in goal ; the former Inter star 's positioning and handling are dire , he 's too rash , does n't have any command of the box , and his distribution is wildly erratic . The Red Devils need a far safer pair of hands , and with that in mind , GOAL has found eight goalkeepers who could replace Onana in the summer transfer window ... |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object between the verb 'made' and 'out of doing this'. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the construction. Instead, it seems to describe the means by which Sarkar made her career, not involving a causee or the specific interpretations required.

Ash Sarkar , a two-legged viral outrage generator beloved by television producers , came to prominence during the late 2010s . Whether in TV studios self-identifying as a communist or at street demos screaming the word " Nazi " at people , Sarkar was an inescapable presence of those high-pitched times . What did Sarkar , a senior editor at the left-wing news site Novara Media , want back then , other than being internet famous for owning , burning , calling out and clapping back at room-temperature IQ pundits on breakfast television , or seeing her absolute boy Jeremy Corbyn in 10 Downing Street ? " It 's about the desire to see the coercive structures of state dismantled , " she told one interviewer in 2018 , " while also having fun . " Fun is not a word that Minority Rule will bring to mind . Sarkar , 32 , once hailed as the " voice of a generation " , has not had an " adventure in the culture war " -- she has had a proper nasty old slog . Minority Rule @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ such as immigration and trans rights to splinter the working class into identity groups . ( Never mind that Sarkar herself made a career out of doing this from the far left . ) But in truth these theories do not animate the book . Ostensibly a book that applies Sarkar 's political theories to Britain today , Minority Rule is a misery memoir full of nervous recrimination , painful regrets , abiding dread and stark failure . Maybe she is saving the fun parts for the paperback edition . Everything for Sarkar has been downhill since 2017 , the buttery golden summer election when Corbyn and " our bloc of young renters , trade unionists , peace activists and ethnic minorities had defied all the odds " to humiliate Theresa May 's Conservatives . For a few British millennials it was the summer of Stormzy and Corbyn allotment jams , Bolivian trade union praxis and renationalising the railways . Brexit would be reversed , landlords would be buried , sex workers would be afforded the same dignified status as dentists . All the forward motion in British politics @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 25 , " Sarkar writes , " and certain that the left was on the brink of making history . " The fun stopped there , though . Sarkar declared herself to be on Team Hate at Corbynite conferences . She enjoyed chastening people online for saying or doing something she judged to be wrong . " The allure of participating in someone else 's public shaming is near irresistible ... it made me feel virtuous to jump on someone I did n't know . " The public began to turn away from these politics , a queasy fantasy of struggle and oppression that had little to do with the reality of British life at the time . When Corbyn went down in 2019 , Sarkar felt " a horrible sense of personal responsibility " . Advertisement Sarkar on stage with Jeremy Corbyn TONY BADU Sarkar realises that she is " a hate figure " . Media producers want more and more from her . She is asked to denounce people she does n't know on Good Morning Britain . On Instagram men tell her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pictures of her feet . She jokes about the demographic replacement of white people in London and becomes " a human dartboard for the far-right " . Someone takes pictures of her in a Tesco Express . Later , she starts to find herself annoyed by her colleagues on the left . They can not take criticism . They think that words are violence . They are lost in a maze of competitive victimhood . ( Still , she confusingly says at the book 's end , this does n't mean the left should " throw away identity-based struggle " . ) Now she watches all her viral confrontations on YouTube and " cringes so hard " . When she marries a white man people joke that she has been " colonised in the sheets " . Everything in Minority Rule flows from this personal misery . Sarkar is fond of using the first-person plural pronoun " we " when she advances her political arguments . " We are weakened and atomised ... We 've become obsessed with policing what people say ... We ca n't think before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ live in a world of digital mousetraps ... We in the global north are curiously deadened " . The reader will come to suspect that when Sarkar uses " we " she really means " I " . Sarkar believes that all right-wing arguments are moral panics ; all concerns about , say , migration , are the result of false consciousness and media manipulation . Tragically , the real enemies of the people -- " hedge fund managers , press barons , landlords , corporations and oligarchs " -- swan about unmolested , making fat profits . Oh , and " Capitalism " . In a Britain where the percentage of the population who receive more in benefits than they pay in tax has hit 53 percent , where the state itself spends over 40 percent of GDP every year and where judges can bankrupt councils over equal pay disputes , it is actually " Capitalism " that has ruined the country . Advertisement Her prose is leaden . The pages swarm with " emboldening effects " , " culture wars being stoked " , " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ strong bulwarks " , " custodians of the status quo " , " individual subjectivities " and " pervasive feelings " . Sometimes she does n't make any sense at all : " Social media has partially , but dramatically , democratised the public sphere . " Good luck figuring out what a partial dramatic democratisation is . The occasions where this torrent of clumsy agitprop ceases and Sarkar interviews Piers Morgan and Dominic Cummings are well told and mildly humorous . They suggest a better book than this . Sarkar at a protest outside the Home Office in 2017 MARK KERRISON/ALAMY But Sarkar does not really want to talk to other people . She confesses a neurotic attachment to social media . Her arguments are propped up by examples that were on her phone while she was writing the book : " John Cleese weighed in on Twitter ... In 2022 , a scant handful of tweets about Adele ... In another viral incident , a woman shared on Twitter ... " Already a backwards-looking text written by a retro author ( what could be more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ generation ? ) the effect of recounting old online blowouts makes Minority Rule feel painfully doddery . As the book loses steam she goes back to calling people Nazis . Gender critical feminists , Sarkar reckons , are " not a million miles away " from Rudolf Hess , Hitler 's deputy . Little gives her hope , apart from the " taut , tense , purposeful " London rioters in 2011 , who apparently showed the " explosive power that can be unleashed when marginalised people see themselves reflected in each other 's struggle " . Sarkar forgets that in Southall and Enfield that August , Sikh and Turkish business owners defended their property with weapons , which is a rather strange display of racial solidarity .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Additionally, it does not give rise to either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes making a career from a certain activity, which is not the intended meaning of the construction.

Ash Sarkar , a two-legged viral outrage generator beloved by television producers , came to prominence during the late 2010s . Whether in TV studios self-identifying as a communist or at street demos screaming the word " Nazi " at people , Sarkar was an inescapable presence of those high-pitched times . What did Sarkar , a senior editor at the left-wing news site Novara Media , want back then , other than being internet famous for owning , burning , calling out and clapping back at room-temperature IQ pundits on breakfast television , or seeing her absolute boy Jeremy Corbyn in 10 Downing Street ? " It 's about the desire to see the coercive structures of state dismantled , " she told one interviewer in 2018 , " while also having fun . " Fun is not a word that Minority Rule will bring to mind . Sarkar , 32 , once hailed as the " voice of a generation " , has not had an " adventure in the culture war " -- she has had a proper nasty old slog . Minority Rule @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ such as immigration and trans rights to splinter the working class into identity groups . ( Never mind that Sarkar herself made a career out of doing this from the far left . ) But in truth these theories do not animate the book . Ostensibly a book that applies Sarkar 's political theories to Britain today , Minority Rule is a misery memoir full of nervous recrimination , painful regrets , abiding dread and stark failure . Maybe she is saving the fun parts for the paperback edition . Everything for Sarkar has been downhill since 2017 , the buttery golden summer election when Corbyn and " our bloc of young renters , trade unionists , peace activists and ethnic minorities had defied all the odds " to humiliate Theresa May 's Conservatives . For a few British millennials it was the summer of Stormzy and Corbyn allotment jams , Bolivian trade union praxis and renationalising the railways . Brexit would be reversed , landlords would be buried , sex workers would be afforded the same dignified status as dentists . All the forward motion in British politics @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 25 , " Sarkar writes , " and certain that the left was on the brink of making history . " The fun stopped there , though . Sarkar declared herself to be on Team Hate at Corbynite conferences . She enjoyed chastening people online for saying or doing something she judged to be wrong . " The allure of participating in someone else 's public shaming is near irresistible ... it made me feel virtuous to jump on someone I did n't know . " The public began to turn away from these politics , a queasy fantasy of struggle and oppression that had little to do with the reality of British life at the time . When Corbyn went down in 2019 , Sarkar felt " a horrible sense of personal responsibility " . Advertisement Sarkar on stage with Jeremy Corbyn TONY BADU Sarkar realises that she is " a hate figure " . Media producers want more and more from her . She is asked to denounce people she does n't know on Good Morning Britain . On Instagram men tell her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pictures of her feet . She jokes about the demographic replacement of white people in London and becomes " a human dartboard for the far-right " . Someone takes pictures of her in a Tesco Express . Later , she starts to find herself annoyed by her colleagues on the left . They can not take criticism . They think that words are violence . They are lost in a maze of competitive victimhood . ( Still , she confusingly says at the book 's end , this does n't mean the left should " throw away identity-based struggle " . ) Now she watches all her viral confrontations on YouTube and " cringes so hard " . When she marries a white man people joke that she has been " colonised in the sheets " . Everything in Minority Rule flows from this personal misery . Sarkar is fond of using the first-person plural pronoun " we " when she advances her political arguments . " We are weakened and atomised ... We 've become obsessed with policing what people say ... We ca n't think before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ live in a world of digital mousetraps ... We in the global north are curiously deadened " . The reader will come to suspect that when Sarkar uses " we " she really means " I " . Sarkar believes that all right-wing arguments are moral panics ; all concerns about , say , migration , are the result of false consciousness and media manipulation . Tragically , the real enemies of the people -- " hedge fund managers , press barons , landlords , corporations and oligarchs " -- swan about unmolested , making fat profits . Oh , and " Capitalism " . In a Britain where the percentage of the population who receive more in benefits than they pay in tax has hit 53 percent , where the state itself spends over 40 percent of GDP every year and where judges can bankrupt councils over equal pay disputes , it is actually " Capitalism " that has ruined the country . Advertisement Her prose is leaden . The pages swarm with " emboldening effects " , " culture wars being stoked " , " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ strong bulwarks " , " custodians of the status quo " , " individual subjectivities " and " pervasive feelings " . Sometimes she does n't make any sense at all : " Social media has partially , but dramatically , democratised the public sphere . " Good luck figuring out what a partial dramatic democratisation is . The occasions where this torrent of clumsy agitprop ceases and Sarkar interviews Piers Morgan and Dominic Cummings are well told and mildly humorous . They suggest a better book than this . Sarkar at a protest outside the Home Office in 2017 MARK KERRISON/ALAMY But Sarkar does not really want to talk to other people . She confesses a neurotic attachment to social media . Her arguments are propped up by examples that were on her phone while she was writing the book : " John Cleese weighed in on Twitter ... In 2022 , a scant handful of tweets about Adele ... In another viral incident , a woman shared on Twitter ... " Already a backwards-looking text written by a retro author ( what could be more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ generation ? ) the effect of recounting old online blowouts makes Minority Rule feel painfully doddery . As the book loses steam she goes back to calling people Nazis . Gender critical feminists , Sarkar reckons , are " not a million miles away " from Rudolf Hess , Hitler 's deputy . Little gives her hope , apart from the " taut , tense , purposeful " London rioters in 2011 , who apparently showed the " explosive power that can be unleashed when marginalised people see themselves reflected in each other 's struggle " . Sarkar forgets that in Southall and Enfield that August , Sikh and Turkish business owners defended their property with weapons , which is a rather strange display of racial solidarity . Likewise , she does not recall Richard Mannington Bowes , the Ealing pensioner who was punched to death by a rioter as he tried to put out a fire . Well , " explosive power " and all that .

The sentence 'her trying to shut the kids out of helping with the funeral' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('her') + V1 ('shut') + NP object ('the kids') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('helping with the funeral'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the subject is preventing the object from participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. The verb 'shut' can be classified under the means of exerting force or pressure. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('taking the hassle out of getting to and from the airport'). It implies a prevention interpretation, where the action of arranging airport transfers prevents the hassle of getting to and from the airport. The verb 'taking' fits into the category of verbs that exert force or pressure metaphorically. The NP object 'the hassle' is atypical but fits the construction's allowance for atypical NP objects. Therefore, it is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject (Mr Starmer) + V1 (talked) + NP object (him) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (slapping tariffs on the UK). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where Mr Starmer is attempting to prevent Trump from slapping tariffs on the UK. The verb 'talked' falls under the category of means by verbal persuasion, and the NP object 'him' functions as a causee. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Keir Starmer has touched down in the UK with Donald Trump 's warm words ringing in his ears after a historic meeting . In what could have been a minefield , the Prime Minister appeared to hold his own with the US President as they discussed a wide range of issues . There were promising sounds from the US President on a trade deal between the two nations , the threat of tariffs and the future of the Special Relationship . The US President said he is confident of a " great deal " on trade between the two nations , and said he has a " warm spot " for the UK . He also bigged up the PM by describing him as a " very tough negotiator " - something that will undoubtedly play well back home . And after months of griping in the Commons , Trump indicated he would not oppose the Government 's agreement to transfer the Chagos Islands toMauritius . But there are still question marks over the US commitment to providing a security guarantee if a peace deal is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday afternoon after appearing to roll back on his accusation that he is a " dictator " . Here we look at the big takeaways from the trip and Mr Starmer 's reasons to be pleased with the job he 's done . Keir Starmer will be pleased with how his talks with Donald Trump went ( Image : Getty Images ) Mr Starmer will be buoyed by the US President 's assessment that he is a " tough negotiator " . The Prime Minister headed over to Washington determined to show he could stand firm in the national interest . The US has the power to smash up the Government 's economic plans by slapping damaging tariffs on goods - more of that below . So it did the PM 's image no harm at all when the President turned to him and said : " You 're a very tough negotiator . I 'm not sure I like that , but that 's OK. " Trump , who has business interests in the country and a famous affection for the Royal family , indicated that this could play to Britain 's advantage . Responding to questions in the Oval Office he said : " We happen to have a great relationship with you , but we 've had problems with the EU ... I have a great warm spot for your country . " There was a ray of light on tariffs . Trump has indicated that the UK could face 25% hits on fuel and 21% on other goods . The US President has been outspoken in his criticism of the EU , which he claimed has " screwed " the US for decades . But there might be some wriggle room for Britian , which will be welcome news for the PM . Trump would n't say if Mr Starmer had talked him out of slapping tariffs on the UK - but he said : " He tried . " Asked at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ preventing him from introducing tariffs on UK trade , Trump prompted laughter as he said : " He tried . He was working hard , I 'll tell you that . " He earned whatever the hell they pay him over there . But he tried . " Trump went on : " I think there 's a very good chance that in the case of these two great friendly countries we could end up with a real trade deal where the tariffs would n't be necessary . We 'll see . " Trump said there are talks taking place over a US-UK trade deal ( Image : PA ) There were encouraging signs of a trade deal . The US President said the two nations have a " very good chance " at arriving at a good deal .

And he continued : " I think we 'll have two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ great trade deal with you . " There is of course a long way to go on that . Yesterday Environment Secretary Steve Reed said the UK would not accept any agreement that would allow US-produced chlorinated chicken and hormone treated beef into the country . And Health Secretary Wes Streeting said on Friday morning : " The NHS is not up for grabs and is not on the table in the context of trade . But there are a number of areas where we can and should work together to deepen the trading relationship between our two countries . " The UK has drawn up a plan to hand sovereignty of the territory to Mauritius , citing a national security issue over the ownership . But there had been fears that the US President could torpedo the deal during the trip . This was sidestepped - at least for now . Trump said : " We 're going to have some discussions about that very soon , and I have a feeling it 's going to work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to go along with your country . " Trump appears to have changed his tune on Volodymyr Zelensky ( Image : AFP via Getty Images ) The US President has backtracked dramatically on his criticism of Volodymyr Zelensky , which sent shockwaves around the world . He appeared to distance himself from calling the Ukrainian President a " dictator " , and said he expected the two to have a " very good meeting " on Friday . But he did not say whether he would apologise for the vicious remarks . Mr Trump told reporters : " We have a lot of respect . I have a lot of respect for him . We 've given him a lot of equipment and a lot of money , but they have fought very bravely . " Enthusing about the talks afterward , Trump said Mr Starmer was a " different type " of leader to Boris Johnson , who was in charge during his first term as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ good sign " that lunch had gone on longer than expected - and again praised Mr Starmer 's " beautiful voice " . Following their meeting the President told The Spectator : " I know where he comes from from a political standpoint . I was surprised we got along very well . " I mean , we had a lunch that ended up being longer than we thought . That 's always a good sign , you know , longer in the sense that we got along . I thought he was very good . " Trump said he was surprised how well the leaders got on ( Image : POOL/AFP via Getty Images ) Trump is notoriously difficult to read , and prone to very sharp u-turns . He appeared to be frosty when quizzed about UK calls for a US " backstop " if a peace deal is agreed with Ukraine . Mr Starmer said that unless the NATO alliance stands firm , Putin will strike again . In a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , there is a backstop . First you have European countries , because they 're right there , we 're very far away , we have an ocean between us . " But we want to make sure it works . So I do n't know whether you say backstop you mean a backstop psychologically , militarily or what . " We are a backstop because we 'll be over there , we 'll be working in the country . That 's a great thing economically for them because ... we 're going to have a lot of people over there ... so I just do n't think you 're going to have a problem . " |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'get a kick out of having a new number plate' involves a transitive verb 'get' with an NP object 'a kick', but it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it expresses enjoyment or satisfaction, which is not aligned with the semantic requirements of the transitive out of -ing construction.

From tomorrow , over 200 DVLA number plates will be off-limits on UK streets as the new ' 25 collection rolls out . Twice a year , in March and September , motoring enthusiasts see fresh designs released . Vehicles registered from March 1 , 2025 , can officially sport the latest plates . However , every six months , the DVLA scrubs away any plates that might raise eyebrows for being offensive or inappropriate - whether they incite controversy over obscenity , homophobia , political issues or religious offence . From March , a hefty bunch of 210 plates are getting axed , including ' ST25 ABB ' and ' US25 WAR ' no longer making the cut . Carwow 's editorial boss Iain Reid said : " The twice-yearly plate-change always sparks some interest in the new car market , as car buyers get a kick out of having a new number plate and many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drivers go one step further to express themselves with a personalised plate , but it 's important to ensure not to cause offence .

" So , if you 're looking to buy a 25-plate car , look out for models with finance or low-rate finance deals . " As per TopReg 's insights , the DVLA 's cleanse keeps the roads respectable and respectful , reports the Express . However , the officials point out this means motorists will be denied a " few funny number plates " each year . They further clarified : " The decision to ban certain plates is made by members of a DVLA steering group who meet at least twice a year to review potentially offensive combinations . " |

Consumer organisation Which ? has revealed which supermarkets in the UK make the most - and strangest - substitutions through their online grocery shopping service . According to the survey , which asked between October and November 2024 1,062 members of the public solely or jointly responsible for grocery shopping in their household about the experience of their recent online shop , Asda shoppers were the most likely to receive a replacement product , affecting 47% of consumers . The supermarket was also given a two out of five stars for its choices , with one customer having been surprised to receive a facial cleanser , micellar water , in place of drinking water . Another shopper said they received a roasting tin instead of roast potatoes , and third got bananas instead of pizza . Asda noted that customers are always made aware of substitutions so they can opt-out . It also reported their own data shows the vast majority of substitutes are accepted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has asked Which ? for details . An Asda spokesperson told Which ? : " We always do our best to ensure that the customer receives a relevant sub if an item is missing , and we have colleagues to ensure that the best substitutions are being made . We do n't charge more for substitutes , even where the item has a higher value , and where the replacement item is of less value we refund the difference to the customer . " Nearly a third ( 32% ) of Sainsbury 's customers said they had received a substitution , and its replacements fared slightly higher , earning three out of five stars . However , one bizarre example included beef dog treats instead of beef steaks .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes making tweaks to get the most out of testing the shoe, which does not involve causing or preventing someone from doing something.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes how running on a trail reduces monotony, which is unrelated to the construction's defining properties.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'you do n't get anything out of burying yourself' involves the verb 'get' with an NP object 'anything', but it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Additionally, the NP object 'anything' does not function as a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'burying yourself'. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

In 2004 , Gene Hackman was a beacon of Hollywood success after starring in around 90 movies and TV shows , and earning two Academy Awards and four Golden Globes throughout his acclaimed , decades-long career . But that year , still very much in demand -- he was cast in the war film Behind Enemy Lines , the comedy flick The Royal Tenenbaums , and Welcome to Mooseport with Ray Romano -- he shocked the world by bidding adieu to his glamorous lifestyle in Los Angeles to enjoy the quiet life in Santa Fe . A caretaker for their Santa Fe estate stumbled across their bodies , which he saw through a window . " They 're not moving , just send somebody up here real quick , " the distressed caller could be heard saying . He repeated " damn " multiple times as he waited for emergency services to arrive . While police said there was no immediate evidence of foul play , question marks remain over their cause of death , with the sheriff declining to provide further details . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ along with the body of one of their German Shepherds at their New Mexico home For years , mystery has swirled around the gruff method actor renowned for his intense performances , ferocious temper and on-set bust-ups with directors that earned him the nickname " Vesuvius " . His vanishing act a little over 20 years ago has left many questions . A native Midwesterner , born during the Great Depression in Illinois , Hackman came from a broken family -- his father left when he was 13 , waving enigmatically as he drove away one day . Hackman said he knew right then that the man was never coming back . Hackman 's mother died in a fire before he had established himself as an actor . He used his turmoil as fuel to flesh out his characters , once wryly observing : " Dysfunctional families have sired a number of pretty good actors . " Hackman as Jimmy ' Popeye ' Doyle in The French Connection , a role that won him an Oscar , a Golden Globe and a Bafta Credit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I accepted the role , " he told the New York Times in 1989 . " I walked on the set in London the first day of filming and there was Chris Reeve in this skin-tight blue suit and red cape . " I looked at him and thought I had really done the ultimate act and committed suicide . " Even so , after receiving critical acclaim for his comedic supervillain performance , he went on to feature in two Superman sequels . But first he spent four years out of acting , painting Impressionist oils and taking up deep-sea diving , stunt flying and sports car endurance racing . His expensive tastes eventually forced him back to Hollywood in 1981 when he was so penniless he had to borrow his daughter 's old banger to drive to auditions . Hackman received another major shock in 1982 when his lawyer and closest friend , Norman Garey , shot himself . Years after his last film , Hackman revealed that a " stress test " he took on the recommendation of his doctor was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . The doctor told him that his " heart was n't in the kind of shape " it should be and that he should n't be " putting it under so much stress " . Hackman had previously undergone surgery after facing problems with his heart . In 1990 , he was taken to the hospital with chest pain , and he needed to have a balloon catheter inserted to help open an artery that had dangerously narrowed . Others thought that his retirement could be linked to his marriage to Arakawa , a classical pianist who was 32 years his junior . The pair met at a gym in the late 1980s and went on to become husband and wife in 1991 . In his years away from Hollywood , Hackman took up sports car endurance racing Credit : Paul Harris The actor admitted that he had struggled to cope with balancing being a world-famous movie star and maintaining his relationships at home . Hackman had met his first wife Faye Maltese long before he was famous . They wed in 1956 and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Christopher Allen , born in 1960 , and two daughters , Elizabeth Jean and Leslie Anne , born in 1962 and 1966 respectively . However , after Hackman hit the big time , their marriage soon crumbled and the couple divorced in 1986 after 30 years together . " You become very selfish as an actor . Even though I had a family , I took jobs that would separate us for three or four months at a time , " he told the New York Times . " The temptations in that , the money and recognition , it was too much for the poor boy in me . I was n't able to handle that . " " When I 'm actually on the set or a stage , actually doing the work , I loved that process and I loved the creative process of trying to bring a character to life , " he said . " Whereas , the business part of show business is kinda wicked . You jump from trying to be a sponge , if you will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ director and everything that 's surrounding you -- you jump from that to a luncheon meeting with an agent and a producer on another film . " It 's kind of a frying pan . It was jarring and at my age and with my health , I decided I did n't want to do that any longer . " Hackman with his daughters Elizabeth and Leslie Hackman at a screening of Superman in 1978 Credit : Ron Galella With that came to an end an illustrious film career . After leaving the spotlight , he took up fishing , painting , writing , yoga and pilates . Despite the quiet life , he had trouble keeping control of his volcanic temper and penchant for a real-life punch-up . Dustin Hoffman recalled his friend once announcing , " I got ta go " , and disappearing off to a bar because he " had to get in a fight " . He was still getting into brawls in his seventies . In 2001 , a 71-year-old Hackman started a fist fight with two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " He brushed against me and I popped him , " he recalled . ' Then the other guy jumped on me . We had this ugly wrestling match on the ground . " The police came ... I got a couple of good shots in . The guy had me around the neck . That 's the ugly part . When you 're down on the ground and you 're nearly 72 years old . " In 2012 , reports emerged of Hackman slapping a homeless man who became aggressive towards him and his wife . Hackman would periodically be seen cycling alone around Santa Fe but largely remained inside his characteristically secluded estate , which had views of the surrounding Rocky Mountains . His friend Robert Duvall , the actor , described him as " a tormented guy , always into his own space , his own thing " . The couple spent years perfecting their sprawling mansion -- it was clear he loved his home . Stephen Samuelson , a local architect , said Hackman was a " deeply involved client @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ When asked if he would come out of retirement to act again , he said the only condition was that it had to be filmed at home . For the couple , watching comedy TV and rented DVDs on a Friday night almost became a religion . " We like simple stories that some of the little low-budget films manage to produce , " he once said . A deep love of being at home meant that public appearances were naturally scarce , though not non-existent . Hackman delighted fans with a rare appearance when he attended the Broadway Confidential show in Santa Fe in 2022 . Seth Rudetsky , host of Sirius XM Radio , shared a photo of himself on Twitter alongside Hackman , delightedly stating : " Look who came to our show in Santa Fe ! Gene Hackman ! Ah ! The Poseidon Adventure ! My fave ! " At the time , fans who had been concerned about Hackman 's lack of public appearances noted how he looked happy and healthy . " He looks like he 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ replied . " So nice to see a photo of him after so long ! " Detectives have not revealed if they are any closer to finding a cause of death . Early autopsies revealed no external trauma on husband or wife . Their bodies appear to have been left untouched for so long that they had started to decompose . Suggestions by Hackman 's daughters that they could have died from carbon monoxide poisoning have been widely dismissed after the local gas company tested the home and concluded it was safe . Hackman was found just outside the kitchen , with his sunglasses and cane on the floor next to his body , according to reports . Arakawa , other reports said , was discovered lying on the bathroom floor with an open bottle of prescription pills scattered across a nearby countertop. |

Supermarket customers report receiving fish steaks instead of cupcakes and sanitary towels in place of sandwich wraps as grocers grappled with suitable substitutions for online orders . Which ? found 29% of online grocery shoppers said they received a substitution in their most recent order , with some stating that they had received some unexpected replacements over the last year . However , the Which ? findings suggest computer-generated replacements may be wide of the mark . Almost half of Asda shoppers received a replacement product in their last order , the survey suggests , and they gave the supermarket just two stars out of five for its choice of substitute items . Supermarkets tend to consider factors such as brand similarity , the price and availability when selecting substitutions , aiming to provide the closest possible match to the original order . One customer reported receiving bananas instead of pizza , another found a roasting tin in place of roast potatoes and a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ instead of drinking water .

Among the 31% of Morrisons customers sent replacement items was one who said they found sanitary towels instead of sandwich wraps and another who received fish steaks in place of lemon cupcakes . A Morrisons spokeswoman said : " We have reviewed all of the online substitutions for the last 800 days as they all have to be logged and we have no record of the ones Which ? is claiming .

One received cheese instead of lactose-free cheese and another received an item that contained gluten when a gluten-free item had been requested . Some supermarkets allow customers to opt out of receiving replacement items altogether but most will notify customers about substitutions beforehand via email or text and allow them to refuse the new item if they do not want it .

Supermarkets tend to consider factors such as brand similarity , the price and availability when selecting substitutions , aiming to provide the closest possible match to the original order . One customer reported receiving bananas instead of pizza , another found a roasting tin in place of roast potatoes and a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ instead of drinking water . The poll found a third of Sainsbury 's customers ( 32% ) found a substitution in their latest shop , although the grocer received three stars for its selections , suggesting they were generally well-received .

Among the 31% of Morrisons customers sent replacement items was one who said they found sanitary towels instead of sandwich wraps and another who received fish steaks in place of lemon cupcakes . A Morrisons spokeswoman said : " We have reviewed all of the online substitutions for the last 800 days as they all have to be logged and we have no record of the ones Which ? is claiming . So it sounds to us like it could be an urban myth .

While many saw the funny side of substitutions , Which ? heard from several customers who complained about receiving meat or dairy instead of vegetarian or vegan alternatives . One received cheese instead of lactose-free cheese and another received an item that contained gluten when a gluten-free item had been requested . Some supermarkets allow customers to opt out of receiving replacement items altogether but most will notify customers about substitutions beforehand via email or text and allow them to refuse the new item if they do not want it . All the supermarkets in Which ? ' s survey allow customers to hand back unwanted substitutions to the delivery driver , or when they pick up a click and collect , and receive a refund . Which ?

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

Our enjoyment of food is intimately linked with our enjoyment of life - whether it 's that first lick of ice-cream on holiday , or the umami hit from a burger . But our sense of taste is n't something that 's locked in place over a lifetime - in fact , our ability to register the flavours in food can fade . However , there are steps we can all take to keep our sense of taste strong , from working to maintain our sense of smell to treating the symptoms of menopause . Read on to find out what 's affecting your sense of taste and what you can do about it today .... Phrases like " sour grapes " and " bitter pill " are reminders that taste is a sense intimately linked to how we feel . Taste is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' gatekeeper ' . As we evolved as hunter-gatherers hundreds of thousands of years ago , we foraged for plants , berries , fungi , seeds and nuts . A delicate sense of taste was essential to help us tell the difference between plants that were safe to eat and those which were potentially poisonous . To tell the difference between flavours , our tongues roughly have between 200 and 400 papillae -- or bumps . On the sides of these papillae there are between three and 100 taste buds , each of them carrying up to 50 microscopic sensory cells . When these come into contact with food , they send signals up to the gustatory cortex of the brain . This distinguishes between the main five flavours : bitter , salty , sweet , sour , and savoury . In different combinations , these add up to the sensation you know as ' flavour ' . The taste of the first ice cream of the year is part of the enjoyment of life ( Image : Getty Images ) Another reason is that we gradually lose our ability to smell as strongly . Experts estimate 75 to 95% of what we taste is down to the aromas released from food into our nasal cavity . But over the years , the number of olfactory cells -- specialised cells in the roof of our mouths and nose that pick up odours -- also starts to decline . If you notice food does n't taste or smell as flavoursome as it used to , pay attention . That 's because taste is also linked to our enjoyment of life . Losing this appreciation can flatten mood and make anhedonia -- or the loss of joy and emotional numbness -- more entrenched . This is because there 's a close relationship between taste @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sense of smell temporarily have been found to react less strongly when they are shown emotionally moving pictures . Scans showed less activation in the emotion processing parts of the brain , probably because smell has direct access to these areas . This is why a sniff of a recipe your grandma used to make can take you straight back to your memories of what it felt like to bake with her . The sense of smell is also linked to feel-good chemicals in the brain , which helps explain why it 's associated with lower mood . In studies , rats who had their ability to smell removed were found to have lower ? concentrations of neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin in their brains . The link between falling oestrogen and reduced saliva production at menopause can result in a less effective sense of taste ( Image : Getty Images ) Menopause is another reason our sense of taste can drop off over time . Falling oestrogen levels in midlife mean women start to make less of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Turkey 's Ankara University in 2015 found that 35% of women said their palate was not as sensitive during this phase of life . Menopause specialist and GP Dr Ferhat Uddin , of libertyhealthclinics.com , says : " Saliva breaks down our food into individual chemicals which our taste buds then detect as different flavours . So if you have less saliva , your taste sensation is reduced or changed . For some women this can take the joy out of eating , although hormone replacement therapy can help . " Menopause expert Alice Smellie , co-author of new book Menopause is Hot : Everything You Need to Know to Thrive , with Mariella Frostrup , says during their research they were " surprised " to learn many women suffer problems with their mouth during the menopause , because of the way falling oestrogen causes dryness . " Less saliva production can make our food taste different , while the number of taste buds decline and get less sensitive with age , " adds Alice . " Some women told us they got the taste for new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it helped them register flavours again . " Tucking into a mouth-watering burger is one of life 's pleasures but the taste sensation can lessen over the years ( Image : Getty Images ) We are all used to the occasional feeling of not being able to taste as well , due to a bout of cold or flu . But if you notice that your sense of taste has dimmed so much that you do n't enjoy your food , even after you 've got better , consult your GP . One factor to consider is the medicines you are taking . Loss of taste can be a side-effect of several drugs , including antidepressants , antihistamines , and thyroid medications . Cancer treatment , like chemotherapy , can also affect the action of the taste receptor cells and change the make-up of your saliva , making food taste less intense . The most commonly talked about cause of taste loss in recent years has been the Covid 19 virus . While scientists are n't sure yet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the action of the olfactory or ' smelling ' neurons in the brain , toning down taste as well . However , when our sense of smell comes back , as it does in more than 95% cases , our ability to detect flavour returns too . Chrissi Kelly , of AbScent , the charity that helps with taste and smell disorders , says : " It 's very important to mention a change in your sense of smell and taste to your doctor to find out why . A change in smell and taste can be the result of a virus or physical trauma , like a head injury or an early indication or other diseases . " Simply being aware of how your sense of smell and taste change as you age can help you address any dysfunction , according to taste expert Barb Stuckey , author of Taste : What You 're Missing : The Passionate Eater 's Guide to Why Good Food Tastes Good . " Loss of smell will plague most people at some age @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other senses , " she says . " This is because everything , from our emotions to the colour of the food and the sounds around us , plays an important part in how much we enjoy the food we are tasting . " The first step to boosting taste is to strengthen your sense of smell . One way to improve this is smell training . This involves sniffing the same four scents , such as coffee , garlic , lemon , or a favourite perfume , every day for several months . Concentrate as you make short ' bunny sniffs ' and spend about 20 seconds on each scent . But you have to be consistent , says Chrissi Kelly . " Smell training is something that happens in the brain . It takes time and needs thoughtful attention every day . " The good news is that this smell training can work well , bring back your sensitivity to smell -- and lift your mood into the bargain . Depressed people who completed a three-month course saw their depression @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because it boosted the number of smell receptors in their noses and mouths again , allowing them to enjoy sensual experiences -- like eating food they liked , and even sex -- more fully , again . For more guidance on smell training , go to https : **37;101;TOOLONG **60;140; It 's said that you taste with your eyes , and that has been backed by science , says sense expert Professor Charles Spence , Head of the Crossmodal Research Laboratory at Oxford University . " We rarely put anything in our mouth without our brain having made a prediction about what it is , " says Professor Spence , author of Sensehacking : How to Use the Power of Your Senses for Happier , Healthier Living . " Such flavour predictions are typically based on visual cues and these flavour expectations are often a key part of the tasting experience . " Indeed , research has found that citrus flavoured drinks taste sharper if they are more lime-coloured , while strawberry drinks taste more strawberry-like if they are redder in colour . Even the shade of your plate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Plates that contrast in colour and make food stand out -- like white fish on a blue , rather than white background -- encourage older people who have lost their sense of taste to eat 25% more . Adding vibrant coloured spices , like saffron or turmeric havealso been found to dial up our taste experience . Listen to the sound eating your food makes too , says Professor Spence , This is because a crunching noise is also interpreted by the brain as a signal of freshness ( which explains why no one likes soggy chips , although they taste the same ) . So try adding other crunchy foods to your diet , like nuts , cucumber and granola , to help register flavours more intensely . We 're frequently in such a rush that we fail to savour our food , often because we 're busy thinking about the next bite . In the same way that smell training can bring back your smell , mindful tasting can help to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ small piece of food , like a raisin . Look at it , pick it up , feel how heavy it is , explore the texture , and concentrate on what you feel and taste . Bite it once and notice every chew to get your saliva flowing and breathe more deeply too to get more of the aroma too . Try this exercise at least once a day , using different food tastes and textures . If it 's designed to be served hot , another way to help food taste more intense is to warm it up a little more ( although not so much that it burns your mouth ) . This means it will release more aroma molecules into your nasal cavity , says Barb . Try to delay eating meals until you 're hungry . This is because the hunger hormone ghrelin has been found to make you sniff more as you eat , helping you to take in more of your food 's flavour through your nose , according @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will also produce more saliva , which is needed to break food into smaller molecules so it can be tasted better . Aim to increase how much saliva you make to break your food into smaller molecules so it can be tasted better . While water is different from spit , it 's also a good alternative . Keep a glass with you as you eat and take a sip between bites to cleanse your palate . Natural remedies like sucking on ginger can also help as it stimulates saliva . Herbs and spices -- and sharp-tasting foods like vinegar and lemon -- are flavours which can cut through and be strongly registered by our brains , even when our sense of taste is blunted . Other options are pepper , chilli , cinnamon , garlic powder ( as long as it does n't contain too much salt ) and ginger . Marinating foods overnight in juices and sauces can also dial up flavour , as well as adding chutney , pickles and relishes. |

Lucie Beunel and Elodie Barron have many similarities : they are sisters , they were brought up in rural France , they married in their thirties , and they both have three children . But while Lucie gets ? 683 ( ? 560 ) a month worth of help from the state for her children , Elodie gets nothing . The reason ? Barron is raising her family in Britain , which has one of the least child-friendly tax systems in the developed world . Not only does she now get far less support than her sister , but she even had to pay back ? 2,000 of the child benefit that she used to get for her three children , Lewis , 17 , and 14-year-old twins , Ella and Olivia . Elodie Barron with her husband , Lee , and their children in Paris From that date any household where a parent earned more than ? 50,000 a year started to lose entitlement to child benefit on a sliding scale -- once your salary reached ? 60,000 you were entitled to nothing . ( The thresholds are now ? 60,000 and ? 80,000 . ) Anyone getting benefit they were not entitled to has to pay it back through a self-assessment tax return . The Barrons have since opted out of getting child benefit altogether . They did get some free childcare when their children were in nursery , but it did not cover all their costs . At one point , when all three children needed before and after-school care , they were paying ? 1,500 a month . Now they get no state support at all . Advertisement Lucie @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Laval with their three children By contrast , Beunel , 41 , a social worker , and her husband Antoine Bonamy , 42 , a headteacher , get five different streams of state support for Marcel , 2 , Laurette , 5 , and Leon , 7 . Although state support for children in France is also means-tested , the couple benefit from extended parental leave , which allows Beunel to cut her working hours by 20 per cent and gives them ? 150 a month to cover some costs . The couple , who live in a village near Laval in Pays de la Loire , also get about ? 193 a month that is available to all parents with children under three and a further ? 340 a month because they have more than two children . They also got about ? 1,000 in " birth allowance " payments when each child was born . Although it is difficult to make a direct comparison , particularly given the differences in the tax and benefits rules in the different countries and the varying ages of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get better parental support . Barron said : " I was n't familiar with the benefits system in France , but thinking about all the info my brother-in-law has shared , I feel a bit taken aback by how good the system is . We really do n't get a lot in the UK in comparison . " Advertisement Barron visits her sister once or twice a year and they often compare notes about how parents are treated . " One thing that really struck me was that in the UK there tends to be more things to support mothers . There are quite good social structures organised by charities or the church . I remember meeting other mothers with their toddlers on a regular basis . We would have coffee and read to the children . It helps because it can be lonely being a mum to start with . My sister did n't really have this . " Barron said there were also cultural differences in attitudes to maternity leave . " Mothers in France tend to go back to work much earlier . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ born . She also had less than six months for the other two . I took a year off for each . " Bonamy said : " I find the help in France very good . It is means-tested , so some get more than others , but those who have to fund themselves do not find it too much of a burden . Those caring for children under six can also get some of your costs back as a tax deduction . I 'm very happy to be in France as a parent . " Britain has one of the least child-friendly tax systems in the developed world , according to The Lord Farmer , a Conservative peer . " The UK 's tax system discourages childbearing , " he told parliament in November after a plan to assess child benefit ? eligibility on household rather than individual income , was scrapped . Advertisement Making the change , which campaigners including The Sunday Times pushed for , would have cost the government about ? 1.4 billion a year by 2029 and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? 1,500 a year . Not making the change , means that single parents earning ? 80,000 a year will still lose all their child benefit while a couple each earning ? 59,999 will still be eligible for the full amount . The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ( OECD ) compared the equivalents of income tax , national insurance and state benefits in different developed countries . Its Taxing Wages report from 2024 concluded that single people in Britain lost a relatively low slice of their income , including benefits , to tax -- 23.6 per cent compared with 24.8 per cent for those in the US , 27.7 per cent in France and 38 per cent in Germany . The average for all OECD countries was 24.7 per cent . However , for married couples with two children where one parent did n't work , the share of income including benefits that was lost was 23.1 per cent in the UK , 21 per cent in France and 20 per cent in Germany . In America it was 13.3 per cent , while the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rachael Griffin from the wealth manager Quilter said : " Families in the UK have had to contend with a complicated and often insufficient support system for years . Dual-income households just under the child benefit cap can still get full benefits while single-earner households slightly above the threshold face reductions . This disparity could have been tackled by pegging child benefit to household income under ? 120,000 , rather than individual earners , which is inherently unfair . " Advertisement Parents in the UK can get three benefits : tax-free childcare , free childcare hours and child benefit . While most working couples can claim all three , higher earners often get little help . Child benefit is worth ? 25.60 a week for a first child and ? 16.95 a week for other children -- so about ? 170 every four weeks for two children . For every ? 200 of adjusted net income ( after pension contributions ) that one parent earns above ? 60,000 , a family loses 1 per cent of the benefit . By the time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tax-free childcare is a scheme that tops up every ? 8 you pay in by ? 2 , with the money used to pay for nursery fees and approved nannies and after-school clubs . The top-up is worth up to ? 2,000 a year per child , but once one parent earns more than ? 100,000 in adjusted net income , families are no longer eligible . Working parents can also get 15 free hours a week of childcare during term time for children aged nine months to three years and 30 hours a week for children aged three to four . Higher-earning parents do not get the former and get only 15 free hours for their three to four-year-olds . From September children from nine months will get 30 free hours a week in term time , but those earning more than ? 100,000 will still get nothing .

They would lose ? 400 of their personal income allowance ; ? 4,000 of tax-free childcare ; about ? 3,285 for the loss of 15 free childcare hours for the two-year-old and another ? 3,444 for the nine-month-old . The parent would also pay an extra ? 800 in income tax . This represents an effective marginal tax rate of almost 600 per cent , according to the investment firm AJ Bell . In France you get a family allowance , which for two children is worth about ? 148.52 a month , increasing with more children . You also get an early childhood benefit . This includes the birth grant of ? 1,066.30 and a basic allowance of up to ? 193.30 a month . If you employ a nanny or childminder you can get up to ? 533.96 a month .

12 hours ago Holly Williams Alamy/ Getty Images/ Netflix ( Credit : Alamy/ Getty Images/ Netflix ) Meghan 's new Netflix series in which she offers cooking and home tips arrives next week . She 's just the latest high-profile woman to present herself as a lifestyle guru -- and divide opinion in doing so . The Duchess of Sussex 's lifestyle show is finally arriving on Netflix on Tuesday , after being pushed back because of the Los Angeles fires . With Love , Meghan sees her picking flowers , cooking with friends , and looking radiant in a huge , glossy Californian home . Netflix The lifestyle TV show With Love , Meghan is likely to be a big ratings hit ( Credit : Netflix ) The move into such well-worn domestic-goddess territory saw Meghan instantly dubbed " the millennial Martha Stewart of Montecito " in The New York Times . But of course , this being Meghan -- the subject of a vast @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ social media generally -- backlash flared the minute the trailer was released . She 's flaunting her wealth , said her critics : tone-deaf . She 's becoming a trad wife : bad feminist . She 's fake , she just wants to sell products , she 's unbearably earnest ... And yet , Meghan has her fans as much as her detractors , and it 's likely that With Love , Meghan will be a ratings hit for the streamer , bringing people together : not always in the way the show intends perhaps , but by persuading both those who buy into the pretty-princess fantasy -- and those who may " hate-watch " it -- to tune in , agog . " Everyone 's invited to create wonder in every moment " -- as Meghan puts it . The recent obsession with trad wives may reflect a broader disenchantment with modern lifestyles The public 's feelings towards domestic goddesses -- those women who sell a lifestyle , and a very particular idealised version of womanhood -- have always been complex , but they may have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ course , the image of the idealised woman has changed over time , and even more rapidly in recent years " says Dr Edith Hill , an Australian academic whose research is in social media , influencers and women 's bodies online . These days , Hill tells the BBC , " there is no one ' ' ideal ' image of a woman online , as each community and sub-community has their own version of the perfect creator . " This means that the most famous end up both loved and loathed : figures like Meghan , Gwyneth Paltrow and Nara Smith walk the line between having devoted fanbases , and being scorned , castigated and even blamed for a wealth of societal ills . Getty Images Gen Z 's favourite domestic goddess is model Nara Smith -- described by some as a trad wife ( Credit : Getty Images ) Nara Smith is probably the most famous iteration of the most vexed contemporary version of the domestic goddess : the trad wife . Smith has 11.5 million followers on TikTok -- that 's a lot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Texas , where she raises kids and bakes their food from scratch . While wearing ballgowns . In a gorgeous kitchen . You could say it 's aggressively aspirational -- but it 's also patently unrealistic . I doubt many people watching genuinely wish they too could make their toddlers homemade bubblegum while wearing a lime-green conical-bust gown . Of course , many women do find joy and satisfaction in the kitchen -- or in other traditional domestic activities , such as hosting , home-making , arranging flowers , dressing in a feminine way ... there 's nothing inherently " unfeminist " with any of that . But the broader interest in trad wives -- women who espouse traditional 1950s-style family values , and dedicate themselves wholly to keeping house and raising kids -- has been seen by many as a worryingly retrograde step . Less domestic goddess , more domestic servitude , is the gist of the criticism . " There is a certain undertone from some of the more traditional creators that does lean toward very stereotypical gender roles and strong religious ideals , that can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " It would be naive to ignore the very close line that can be drawn between that content and women 's oppression . " The recent obsession with trad wives may reflect a broader disenchantment with modern lifestyles : the anxiety that what equality of the sexes actually brought us is merely drudgery for all . When two parents have to work constantly in order to have enough money to live , and women also end updoing a " second shift " of housework and childcare , the old model of dividing the labour might look more appealing . Arguably , we could more accurately place the source of the problem with capitalism , rather than feminism " gone too far " . And it is unfortunately inevitable that full-time tradwiffery requires a partner who earns a lot of money , inevitably also bringing that traditional dynamic into play : domestic bliss predicated on man-as-breadwinner , woman-as-helpmeet . But as much as there is endless hand-wringing in the media over the meaning of the trad-wife phenomenon , in some ways , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a source of fascination -- dismissed as retrograde by some , and yet a source of aspiration , inspiration , and even compulsion for others . Because they do n't just present a certain lifestyle : they often promise that you , scruffy disorganised frazzled ordinary woman , could be a domestic goddess too , if you just do what they say . Witness : the OG DG , Martha Stewart , who made a multi-million-dollar empire out of housekeeping tips . Getty Images Veteran lifestyle guru Stewart has her detractors but has long been a source of inspiration to many ( Credit : Getty Images ) Stewart made her name as a hard-grafting lifestyle guru who would tell you exactly what to do , and how to do it properly , whether putting up a shelf or planning a wedding . And part of the appeal of domestic goddesses has always been this illusion of control , of solution : do this , and have a better life . Stewart started out running a catering business in 1975 , before publishing the legendary 1982 glossy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gun of the unstoppable Martha Stewart brand , that 's since flogged everything from tea towels to CBD gummies ; she 's published more than 100 books offering brisk guidance on gardening , hosting , cooking and homemaking . And the news that Entertaining is to be republished this year surely supports the theory that we 're in a retro domestic goddess moment . Following in Martha 's footsteps came another US DG who inspires a devoted following : Ina Garten aka The Barefoot Contessa . Garten just published a memoir , Be Ready When the Luck Happens , designed to persuade people that her seemingly charmed career -- from running a Hamptons food store so casually chic that it featured in a Nancy Meyers movie , to fronting scores of cookery books and TV shows since the 90s -- was the result of hard work and good timing , a blend of effort and effortlessness . Garten 's recipes also straddle effort and effortlessness : she specialises in rich , indulgent , bistro-style deliciousness , and offers detailed instruction as to exactly how to achieve it . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is fine " : a pinch of realism amid the lifestyle gloss . Alamy Shirley Conran 's 1975 book Superwoman was full of household tips and labour-saving shortcuts ( Credit : Alamy ) And of course , not all domestic goddesses have been about perfection or spending hours in the kitchen -- in fact , many have made a career out of proffering tips and tricks to make hosting and homemaking easier . Shirley Conran , the British journalist and author -- also sometimes called the " original " domestic goddess -- promoted the idea of women " having it all " , and famously informed women in her 1975 pop-feminism housework manual Superwoman that " life is too short to stuff a mushroom " .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'made a career out of proffering tips and tricks', where 'proffering tips and tricks' is a gerund phrase functioning as the object of the preposition 'out of', not as a VP2[-ing] predicate with a causee. Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

12 hours ago Holly Williams Alamy/ Getty Images/ Netflix ( Credit : Alamy/ Getty Images/ Netflix ) Meghan 's new Netflix series in which she offers cooking and home tips arrives next week . She 's just the latest high-profile woman to present herself as a lifestyle guru -- and divide opinion in doing so . The Duchess of Sussex 's lifestyle show is finally arriving on Netflix on Tuesday , after being pushed back because of the Los Angeles fires . With Love , Meghan sees her picking flowers , cooking with friends , and looking radiant in a huge , glossy Californian home . Netflix The lifestyle TV show With Love , Meghan is likely to be a big ratings hit ( Credit : Netflix ) The move into such well-worn domestic-goddess territory saw Meghan instantly dubbed " the millennial Martha Stewart of Montecito " in The New York Times . But of course , this being Meghan -- the subject of a vast @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ social media generally -- backlash flared the minute the trailer was released . She 's flaunting her wealth , said her critics : tone-deaf . She 's becoming a trad wife : bad feminist . She 's fake , she just wants to sell products , she 's unbearably earnest ... And yet , Meghan has her fans as much as her detractors , and it 's likely that With Love , Meghan will be a ratings hit for the streamer , bringing people together : not always in the way the show intends perhaps , but by persuading both those who buy into the pretty-princess fantasy -- and those who may " hate-watch " it -- to tune in , agog . " Everyone 's invited to create wonder in every moment " -- as Meghan puts it . The recent obsession with trad wives may reflect a broader disenchantment with modern lifestyles The public 's feelings towards domestic goddesses -- those women who sell a lifestyle , and a very particular idealised version of womanhood -- have always been complex , but they may have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ course , the image of the idealised woman has changed over time , and even more rapidly in recent years " says Dr Edith Hill , an Australian academic whose research is in social media , influencers and women 's bodies online . These days , Hill tells the BBC , " there is no one ' ' ideal ' image of a woman online , as each community and sub-community has their own version of the perfect creator . " This means that the most famous end up both loved and loathed : figures like Meghan , Gwyneth Paltrow and Nara Smith walk the line between having devoted fanbases , and being scorned , castigated and even blamed for a wealth of societal ills . Getty Images Gen Z 's favourite domestic goddess is model Nara Smith -- described by some as a trad wife ( Credit : Getty Images ) Nara Smith is probably the most famous iteration of the most vexed contemporary version of the domestic goddess : the trad wife . Smith has 11.5 million followers on TikTok -- that 's a lot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Texas , where she raises kids and bakes their food from scratch . While wearing ballgowns . In a gorgeous kitchen . You could say it 's aggressively aspirational -- but it 's also patently unrealistic . I doubt many people watching genuinely wish they too could make their toddlers homemade bubblegum while wearing a lime-green conical-bust gown . Of course , many women do find joy and satisfaction in the kitchen -- or in other traditional domestic activities , such as hosting , home-making , arranging flowers , dressing in a feminine way ... there 's nothing inherently " unfeminist " with any of that . But the broader interest in trad wives -- women who espouse traditional 1950s-style family values , and dedicate themselves wholly to keeping house and raising kids -- has been seen by many as a worryingly retrograde step . Less domestic goddess , more domestic servitude , is the gist of the criticism . " There is a certain undertone from some of the more traditional creators that does lean toward very stereotypical gender roles and strong religious ideals , that can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " It would be naive to ignore the very close line that can be drawn between that content and women 's oppression . " The recent obsession with trad wives may reflect a broader disenchantment with modern lifestyles : the anxiety that what equality of the sexes actually brought us is merely drudgery for all . When two parents have to work constantly in order to have enough money to live , and women also end updoing a " second shift " of housework and childcare , the old model of dividing the labour might look more appealing . Arguably , we could more accurately place the source of the problem with capitalism , rather than feminism " gone too far " . And it is unfortunately inevitable that full-time tradwiffery requires a partner who earns a lot of money , inevitably also bringing that traditional dynamic into play : domestic bliss predicated on man-as-breadwinner , woman-as-helpmeet . But as much as there is endless hand-wringing in the media over the meaning of the trad-wife phenomenon , in some ways , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a source of fascination -- dismissed as retrograde by some , and yet a source of aspiration , inspiration , and even compulsion for others . Because they do n't just present a certain lifestyle : they often promise that you , scruffy disorganised frazzled ordinary woman , could be a domestic goddess too , if you just do what they say . Witness : the OG DG , Martha Stewart , who made a multi-million-dollar empire out of housekeeping tips . Getty Images Veteran lifestyle guru Stewart has her detractors but has long been a source of inspiration to many ( Credit : Getty Images ) Stewart made her name as a hard-grafting lifestyle guru who would tell you exactly what to do , and how to do it properly , whether putting up a shelf or planning a wedding . And part of the appeal of domestic goddesses has always been this illusion of control , of solution : do this , and have a better life . Stewart started out running a catering business in 1975 , before publishing the legendary 1982 glossy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gun of the unstoppable Martha Stewart brand , that 's since flogged everything from tea towels to CBD gummies ; she 's published more than 100 books offering brisk guidance on gardening , hosting , cooking and homemaking . And the news that Entertaining is to be republished this year surely supports the theory that we 're in a retro domestic goddess moment . Following in Martha 's footsteps came another US DG who inspires a devoted following : Ina Garten aka The Barefoot Contessa . Garten just published a memoir , Be Ready When the Luck Happens , designed to persuade people that her seemingly charmed career -- from running a Hamptons food store so casually chic that it featured in a Nancy Meyers movie , to fronting scores of cookery books and TV shows since the 90s -- was the result of hard work and good timing , a blend of effort and effortlessness . Garten 's recipes also straddle effort and effortlessness : she specialises in rich , indulgent , bistro-style deliciousness , and offers detailed instruction as to exactly how to achieve it . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is fine " : a pinch of realism amid the lifestyle gloss .

Shirley Conran , the British journalist and author -- also sometimes called the " original " domestic goddess -- promoted the idea of women " having it all " , and famously informed women in her 1975 pop-feminism housework manual Superwoman that " life is too short to stuff a mushroom " .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'ruled out of driving' in a context where 'ruled out' is a phrasal verb meaning 'prevented from participating', and 'driving' is part of a noun phrase indicating the activity from which the subject was prevented. There is no clear causer-causee relationship, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Fans are calling for Obi Martin and Heaven to receive more regular first team minutes . Ruben Amorim 's hopes of winning domestic silverware in his first season as Manchester United manager came crashing down as the Red Devils were knocked out of the FA Cup fifth round by Fulham on penalties . The defending champions had to recover from going behind thanks to a Calvin Bassey header , with Bruno Fernandes equalising during the latter stages of the second half . Despite pushing and creating opportunities during the additional thirty minutes , the hosts could find no breakthrough before Victor Lindelof and Joshua Zirkzee missed their crucial spot kicks , sending United packing . The defeat is yet another smudge on the record of what has been a difficult start to life at the club for Ruben Amorim , but there were still some positives to take from proceedings .

While the Dane struggled to really threaten during his time on the pitch , his 17-year-old replacement made sure to make himself a nuisance , and could 've won the game on a couple of occasions for his team . GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic : Chido Obi Martin has scored as many goals in 3 FA Youth Cup games as Rasmus Hojlund has scored in all competitions this season ( seven ) .

The hardest thing to do in football is score a goal . Well , for the majority of players . However , some players throughout the decades have made it look far too easy , especially poachers . Poachers are somewhat of a dying breed in the modern game because of all the highly technical systems top-end managers like to deploy these days when they want to create overloads in the build-up phase . These types of old-fashioned strikers do n't mess around with all of this fancy stuff and combination play , they just want to be in the 18-yard-box , and between the width of the goalposts , where they come alive . Of course , poachers are still skilled players in their own specialised way . For example , their timing of runs and positioning is excellent . They often possess a great first touch , so they can produce one-and two-touch finishes . They are usually super-instinctive in front of goal , reacting instantaneously to goal-scoring situations . Something that has been said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sorts of instincts . Often , the poacher type of strikers get labelled ' tap-in merchants ' , particularly those types of poachers that are n't blessed with great physical attributes . In this article , GIVEMESPORT has named the 10 greatest tap-in merchants in football history . Dependency - how much did they rely upon the ability to score from close range ?

Longevity - How long were they at the peak of their powers for ? Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made a career out of coming off the bench and finishing off simple chances for Manchester United , under Sir Alex Ferguson , where he earned the reputation as a " super-sub " .

Goals 282 Appearances 529 Top Scorer Awards N/A Before becoming the host of BBC Match of the Day , Gary Lineker was an outstanding poacher in the 80s and early 90s . The Englishman rarely wasted energy outside the box , making a career out of finishing chances from inside the six-yard box . Remarkably , out of all the top-class strikers we 've seen in English top-flight , Lineker is the only player to finish as top scorer in England with three different clubs - Leicester City , Everton and Tottenham Hotspur . He also shone at Barcelona , famously bagging a hat-trick of close-range finishes vs Real Madrid . He is simply one of the best goalscorers England @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1986 World Cup highlights that . It is also a testament to his ability to pop up in the right place at the right time . Even strikers of Gary Lineker 's calibre go through tough times , and the ex-Leicester man once named the toughest defenders he faced . Posts Ranking at number eight is David Trezeguet . The Frenchman had an old-school approach to goal-scoring and his style of play . He did n't dribble past five defenders or hit screamers from outside the box , he just simply got on the end of crosses and buried his chances . Trezeguet was excellent at taking advantage of chances and loose balls in the area . His composure and one-touch finishing made him a nightmare for defenders , especially during his time at Monaco , Juventus , and the French national team . He won four top-flight league titles with Monaco and Juventus , and he won a World Cup and Euros with France .

He also averaged over a goal a game playing for West Germany , scoring 68 goals in 62 games . The legendary goalscorer is also one of only nine players to win a World Cup , a Champions League and a Ballon d'Or . Shearer 's strength and heading ability often overshadowed his poaching skills , but his 260-goal haul included countless finishes from close range .

Even though he was small , he had outstanding athleticism which helped him score headers against much bigger opponents . Sanchez won the Pichichi Trophy five times - the top scorer in a La Liga season . This puts him joint-third on the list for having the most top-scorer awards in La Liga history .

His ability to pounce on half-chances made him one of the best modern poachers . Whether at Manchester United , Bayer Leverkusen , or the Mexican national team , he consistently found himself on the end of deflections , rebounds , and low crosses . Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson once said Hernandez 's style reminds him of former Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer .

Reasoning

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee, and the phrase 'out of finishing chances' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a habitual action or career focus, not involving causation or prevention by the subject.

The hardest thing to do in football is score a goal . Well , for the majority of players . However , some players throughout the decades have made it look far too easy , especially poachers . Poachers are somewhat of a dying breed in the modern game because of all the highly technical systems top-end managers like to deploy these days when they want to create overloads in the build-up phase . These types of old-fashioned strikers do n't mess around with all of this fancy stuff and combination play , they just want to be in the 18-yard-box , and between the width of the goalposts , where they come alive . Of course , poachers are still skilled players in their own specialised way . For example , their timing of runs and positioning is excellent . They often possess a great first touch , so they can produce one-and two-touch finishes . They are usually super-instinctive in front of goal , reacting instantaneously to goal-scoring situations . Something that has been said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sorts of instincts . Often , the poacher type of strikers get labelled ' tap-in merchants ' , particularly those types of poachers that are n't blessed with great physical attributes . In this article , GIVEMESPORT has named the 10 greatest tap-in merchants in football history . Dependency - how much did they rely upon the ability to score from close range ? Goal Record - How many goals did they score throughout their career ? Legacy - How well are these players remembered today for what they achieved ? Longevity - How long were they at the peak of their powers for ? Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made a career out of coming off the bench and finishing off simple chances for Manchester United , under Sir Alex Ferguson , where he earned the reputation as a " super-sub " . The Norwegian striker was n't the fastest or the strongest of players , but he had an incredible knack for being in the right place @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the last-gasp winner in the 1998/99 Champions League final for the Red Devils against Bayern Munich . Solskjaer hoisted six Premier League titles , two FA Cups , a UEFA Champions League trophy and an Intercontinental Cup , during his time at Man United . Goals 282 Appearances 529 Top Scorer Awards N/A Before becoming the host of BBC Match of the Day , Gary Lineker was an outstanding poacher in the 80s and early 90s . The Englishman rarely wasted energy outside the box , making a career out of finishing chances from inside the six-yard box . Remarkably , out of all the top-class strikers we 've seen in English top-flight , Lineker is the only player to finish as top scorer in England with three different clubs - Leicester City , Everton and Tottenham Hotspur . He also shone at Barcelona , famously bagging a hat-trick of close-range finishes vs Real Madrid . He is simply one of the best goalscorers England @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1986 World Cup highlights that . It is also a testament to his ability to pop up in the right place at the right time . Even strikers of Gary Lineker 's calibre go through tough times , and the ex-Leicester man once named the toughest defenders he faced . Posts Ranking at number eight is David Trezeguet . The Frenchman had an old-school approach to goal-scoring and his style of play . He did n't dribble past five defenders or hit screamers from outside the box , he just simply got on the end of crosses and buried his chances . Trezeguet was excellent at taking advantage of chances and loose balls in the area . His composure and one-touch finishing made him a nightmare for defenders , especially during his time at Monaco , Juventus , and the French national team . He won four top-flight league titles with Monaco and Juventus , and he won a World Cup and Euros with France . Goals 273 Appearances @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 7 Gerd Muller Nicknamed " Der Bomber , " Gerd Muller had an incredible ability to turn in scrappy chances and react quicker than defenders inside the penalty box . His scoring record for Bayern Munich and Germany speaks for itself . During his 15 seasons with Bayern Munich , Muller scored 570 goals in 613 over all competitions . He also averaged over a goal a game playing for West Germany , scoring 68 goals in 62 games . The legendary goalscorer is also one of only nine players to win a World Cup , a Champions League and a Ballon d'Or . Shearer 's strength and heading ability often overshadowed his poaching skills , but his 260-goal haul included countless finishes from close range . Yes , he had the occasional screamer in his locker , but really he was the last of the good old-fashioned number nines in the Premier League . Because he never played for a dominant club in England , he only ever won one Premier League title , with Blackburn Rovers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : Atl ? tico Madrid and Real Madrid While he could score a spectacular goal every now and then , the diminutive striker thrived on service inside the box , where he scored many of his 234 La Liga goals . The Mexican had great speed , sharp movement and precise positioning , so he was a handful for defenders because they could n't keep tabs on him . Even though he was small , he had outstanding athleticism which helped him score headers against much bigger opponents . Sanchez won the Pichichi Trophy five times - the top scorer in a La Liga season . This puts him joint-third on the list for having the most top-scorer awards in La Liga history . Goals 484 Appearances 821 Top Scorer Awards La Liga x5 Ranking at number four is Filippo Inzaghi . Despite his lack of pace and technical ability in terms of dribbling and passing , Inzaghi 's anticipation inside the box was phenomenal . Additionally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his excellent timing of his runs in behind the defensive line . These key attributes made him one of the most prolific strikers in recent history , as he scored 288 goals in 624 career appearances , as well as 25 goals in 57 caps for Italy . His old-school poaching style saw him win three Serie A titles and two Champions Leagues during his club career , as well as winning the World Cup with Italy in 2006 . Goals 288 Appearances 624 Top Scorer Awards N/A Arguably one of the most clinical finishers in Premier League history , Ruud van Nistelrooy rarely scored from outside the box throughout his illustrious career . At Manchester United and Real Madrid , he thrived on cutbacks , loose balls , and simple tap-ins . This was largely down to his incredible ability to anticipate defenders ' movements and be a step ahead of everybody inside the penalty area . While with the Red Devils , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ campaigns , and he is the competition 's sixth-highest all-time goalscorer with 56 goals to his name . Javier Hernandez , otherwise known as ' Chicharito ' , built his reputation as a fox in the box in Europe 's elite leagues , thriving on one-touch finishes and instinctive positioning . His ability to pounce on half-chances made him one of the best modern poachers . Whether at Manchester United , Bayer Leverkusen , or the Mexican national team , he consistently found himself on the end of deflections , rebounds , and low crosses . Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson once said Hernandez 's style reminds him of former Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer . His style of play has also been compared to Miroslav Klose . Goals 198 Appearances 531 Top Scorer Awards N/A Miroslav Klose ranks as the greatest tap-in merchant in football history . The German striker is a World Cup legend for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ top scorer , Klose , was the epitome of a penalty-area predator .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('she opted out of participating'). It involves a prevention interpretation where the subject (the mother-of-five) prevents herself from participating in the mother's races at school. The verb 'opted' fits into the category of verbs that appear in the V1 slot by means of making a choice, which is a specific means to achieve a goal. The NP object 'herself' is coreferential with the subject, which is an atypical but acceptable type of NP object in the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'pulled out of' in a different context, where 'presenting the award to the documentary' is not a VP2[-ing] predicate that the NP object is being caused to move out of or prevented from. The phrase 'pulled out of' here is used to indicate withdrawal from an activity, not the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'pulled out of presenting the award' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the actress withdrawing from an event, which is not the same as the construction's defined properties.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'pulled out of' in a different context, referring to withdrawing from an activity, not causing someone to move or preventing someone from doing something. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The Israeli actress was swept up in the rumor mill after a viral post on social media claimed that she 'd pulled out of presenting the award to the documentary . The post falsely implied that the actress - who is one of Hollywood 's most vocal supporters of Israel - had pulled out of presenting the award because No Other Land highlights the plight of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank . However , her representatives told DailyMail.com that the rumors were completely untrue , and that Gadot was never scheduled to present Best Documentary . Adra gripped the Oscar for the harrowing documentary , which captured the plight of Palestinians throughout the ongoing war with Israel - dating long before October 7 . But as he slammed ' this administration 's foreign policy ' for blocking the path to peace , a member of the crowd shouted ' get rid of Hamas ' , according to a Vulture reporter who heard the interaction . Adra is a Palestinian activist who created the film documenting how he made sense of the destruction of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Abraham . Speaking to the crowd of Hollywood bigwigs , Abraham said : ' When I look at Basel , I see my brother . But we are unequal . We live in a regime where I am free under civilian law , and Basel is under military law that destroys his life and he can not control . ' There is a different path . A political solution without ethnic supremacy with national rights for both of our people ... the foreign policy in this country is helping to block this path . ' ' Why ? ' he asked as the crowd cheered . ' Ca n't you see that we are intertwined , that my people can be truly safe if Basel 's people are truly free ... There is another way . It is not too late . ' No Other Land highlights the plight of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank Selena Gomez and Samuel L Jackson handed out the Best Documentary Oscar to No Other Land Adra was equally impassioned about the plight of Gazans during his speech @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to grow up in a safer world than he did . ' Two months ago I became a father , and my hope to my daughter is that she will not have to live the same life I 'm living now , ' he said . ' The harsh reality we have been enduring for decades and still resist , ' he continued . ' We call on the world to take serious actions to stop the injustice and to stop the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian people . ' Despite No Other Land now being an Oscar winning film and enjoying buzz for several months leading up to the big night , it has failed to secure an American distribution contract . The filmmakers have said that the film is being blocked from US distribution for ' political ' reasons . ' We 're obviously talking about the Israeli military occupation of the West Bank , and it 's very ugly ... The conversation in the United States appears to be far less nuanced -- there is much less space for this kind of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a film , ' Abraham told Variety . Trump shocked the world when he revealed he had ambitions to turn Gaza into the Riviera of the Middle East . No Other Land 's director Basel Adra was heckled after calling for an end to the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians during his acceptance speech More than 40,000 people have been killed in Gaza since Israel launched strikes in the wake of the October 7 Hamas terror attack ' I 'm committed to buying and owning Gaza , ' he said in February . In his vision , US reconstruction would create thousands of jobs and spare Palestinians the pain and expense of rebuilding once again . He claimed his plans were based on humanitarian ideals , but has sparked outcry from his critics and foreign leaders who say it amounts to ' ethnic cleansing ' of the two million Palestinians who call Gaza home . Control of the territory has been one of the key flashpoints in the Arab-Israeli conflict , triggering waves of violence and spreading instability through the region for decades . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ since Israel launched strikes in the wake of the October 7 Hamas terror attack . The figures are from last year , and are made up primarily of women and children . In a peer-reviewed study published in The Lancet journal last year , authors believe the real death toll to be 41% higher than what has been reported , according to NBC . Various estimates have put the death toll at between 55,000 and 78,000 for the first nine months of the war .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It involves an intransitive verb 'come' with no NP object and the second predicate 'being forced to speak to people you'd been avoiding for years on Zoom' does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'back out of' as a phrasal verb followed by a gerund ('marrying her'), which does not involve a causer-causee relationship or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the transitive out of -ing construction.

Meghan Markle 's estranged brother has criticised her new Netflix series as ' embarrassing ' - and accused her of telling ' malarkey stories ' about her childhood . Thomas Markle Jr , 58 , gave his verdict on With Love , Meghan , which aired on the streaming service today , to journalist Kevin O'Sullivan in an interview which aired on TalkTV tonight at 8pm .

But on her claims that she grew up poor , Mr Markle Jr said : ' That 's just another one of the malarkey stories she sold to the Royal Family for sympathy . We were n't poor . She did n't have to rub two nickels together at Sizzler 's salad bar . ' Critics have previously pointed out that Meghan was raised in middle class comfort in the suburb of Woodland Hills in a home Thomas Markle , an Emmy-award winning lighting director , bought shortly before Meghan was born in 1981 .

Her estranged brother said : ' The entire world knows how she treated her family , especially her father , who gave her everything . That 's why nobody 's buying it . ' Discussing the cookery programme in his interview , Mr Markle Jr said : ' Halfway through , I realized there 's something better I could be doing with my time . Dropping bricks on my pinky toes would probably be better .

Mr Markle Jrfired off a series of insults and conspiracy theories in clips targeting his estranged half-sister and was seen in one seeming to put a cushion up his top while wearing a wig and tiara and ridiculing the Duchess . And an ex-government minister also called for tougher action by internet firms to combat ' campaigns of harassment and intimidation ' . Meanwhile , Mr Markle Jr has also suggested plans to bring out his own range of merchandise such as glasses , mugs and T-shirts , the Sunday Mirror reported . In one of his clips , he addressed the camera as if in a dialogue with the Duchess , raging : ' It 's not just your freedom of speech , Meghan , it 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you do n't like it , do n't watch , right ? I 'm gon na be riding those coat-tails , baby - oh , yeah , if it was n't for Meghan Markle I do n't know what I 'd be doing . ' Mr Markle Jr 's latest attack comes after he was condemned for appearing to mock Meghan in a series of YouTube video rants last year - dressing up with a cushion stuffed inside his jumper and calling himself ' Me-gain ' ( pictured ) Journalist and royal family expert Bond responded by saying : ' To have your own flesh and blood lead the assault must feel like the ultimate betrayal for Meghan . ' Conservative MP and ex-tech and the digital economy minister Damian Collins said : ' The major social media companies must do more to combat harmful content on their platforms , including campaigns of harassment and intimidation . ' They have created systems that have not only allowed conspiracy theories to thrive , but are actively promoted by the recommendation systems designed by these big tech companies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's half-brother has caused controversy . Ahead of the Duke and Duchess 's wedding at Windsor Castle in May 2018 , Mr Markle Jr sent Harry a letter telling him it was not ' too late ' to back out of marrying her - describing his sister as ' obviously not the right woman for you ' . He slammed the American former actress , insisting she was a ' jaded , shallow , conceited woman that will make a joke of you and the royal family heritage ' . The sibling wrote telling Harry : ' As more time passes to your royal wedding , it became very clear that this is the biggest mistake in royal wedding history . ' Meghan Markle is obviously not the right woman for you . I 'm confused why you do n't see the real Meghan that the whole world now sees . During episode two of her eight-part series , the Duchess of Sussex called herself a ' latchkey kid ' who ' grew up with a lot of fast food and TV tray dinners ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Jack In The Box Reading the note aloud on screen , he said : ' Dear Meghan and Harry , the first thing I want to say to both of you is that I 'm sorry from the bottom of my heart for the awful mean letter that I wrote to you prior to your wedding . ' And I want both of you to know it did not come from the real person that I am , but came from a very dark and hurt part of my heart . ' I am not a mean person at all and I have more love inside me to give than anything . ' Mr Markle Jr went on to say the first despatch to Harry was written out of ' hurt ' after Meghan had described him as ' distant family ' . He said : ' The letter was definitely written out of me feeling like really hurt and confused when I was informed of your response that I was distant family and that you did not know those people . ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bond and relationship we shared growing up together and all I could do was put up a defence wall to protect my heart . Meghan 's new lifestyle series ( pictured ) finally launched today after the Duchess delayed its release from January due to the devastating fires that ravaged Los Angeles ' I know that it was very immature and wrong and I truly regret it . When your relationship with Harry became known to the world , my life then became public . ' I along with everyone in our family became public figures overnight . No more privacy . And let me tell you it was very , very stressful to have to deal with all alone and no help at all . ' A real nightmare and constant pressure . I wish I could turn back the clock and do it all over , knowing what I know now . ' Meghan 's new lifestyle series finally launched today after the Duchess delayed its release from January due to the devastating fires that ravaged Los Angeles . During each of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tuesday , the former working royal was joined by guests as she offered lifestyle tips from inside a rented $8million ( ? 5million ) mansion near the Sussexes ' Montecito home . Although Meghan did not directly mention the Royal Family or her reasons for stepping down from royal duties , she was more than happy to discuss her life in California with husband Prince Harry and their two children , Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet . With Love , Meghan gives viewers an intimate look into everyday life for the Sussexes , including how the children have named two of their pet chickens ' Phil ' and ' Jill ' . The Duchess , who lives in an $14million ( ? 11million ) home with Prince Harry and their children , insists that even people in ' little flats ' in London can enjoy a ' small piece ' of her luxury Californian lifestyle . But the programme quickly came under attack from some reviewers who described it as ' gormless lifestyle filler ' with a ' tangible desperation ' .

Knocked together by volunteers using " scaffolding bought off the black market , " according to founder and Artistic Director Jay Miller , it was only supposed to be a three-month pop-up , put together around the Olympic Park build for London 2012 . Thirteen years of cultural delights later , and The Yard is finally being demolished . But wait ... it 's had huge funding to be turned into a glorious -- and permanent -- new version of The Yard ! This is quite some moment for Miller , who initially took the chance to create a space for new theatre not done anywhere else . " We were supposed to be a three month pop-up but I think because of the work we 've done , which audiences seemed to like , we 've been going ever since . We 've had some real hits over the years that have gone onto the National , been made into TV shows , and toured the world .

" Considering we started with a ? 9,000 grant from the Arts Council , we 're really proud of the fact we 've been able to get this far , and cement our place in the UK cultural ecosystem . " The Yard Helen Murray The new building has been designed by architects Takero Shimazaki , and will be an exciting addition to the new East Bank scene , which is already encompassing Sadler 's Wells East and the upcoming V&A East . The new Yard should be open within a couple of years and although its new incarnation will be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same , says Miller . " When I first started The Yard , it was really just to scratch an itch , which was that I thought what was missing was a type of theatre that was a more expressive , and bold in its aesthetic , and also owning the idea that theatres are places for live storytelling . This was back when Netflix was just getting into its ascendancy . And more often than not , you can go to the theatre and it can feel like you 're watching another TV show . But when you come to The Yard , you 're really getting that live experience . " The Yard Maurizio Martorana The building foundations might be a bit different , but the spirit will definitely be the same .

You 're watching this guy try to remember his mother that he loved and his sister that he loved , but who was forced to leave that house . It 's a beautiful universal story about our relationship with our families , but told from the perspective of someone looking back . It 's about memory and it felt like the perfect play to remember the theatre by . " Tom Varey , Sharon Small and Eva Morgan in The Glass Menagerie Manual Harlan As for his own favourite memories of the place , there are quite a few .

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

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'opt out of' followed by a noun phrase 'receiving Child Benefit payments', which does not involve a causee or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks a clear causer and causee relationship, and the phrase 'no getting out of doing the laundry' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to be a general statement about avoiding the task of doing laundry, not fitting the transitive out of -ing construction criteria.

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'He' is the NP subject, 'ruled' is V1, 'himself' is the NP object (a reflexive pronoun coreferential with the subject), and 'playing a lead movie role' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also fits the atypical type of NP object as in (6a), where the subject and object are coreferential. The interpretation is prevention, as he prevented himself from playing a lead movie role by ruling himself out.

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

The Saddlers hit the front in the seventh-minute when Taylor Allen planted a sumptuous half-volley beyond Gabe Breeze at his near post to extend his season tally to seven goals .

Mat Sadler made two changes from Walsall 's 1-0 defeat against Swindon Town at Bescot on Saturday , which put paid to their 12-match unbeaten home run in League Two .

Jellis ' corner was only cleared as far as Stirk on the edge of the box and the former Wales under-21 international was afforded an abyss of space to pick out an unmarked Allen at the far post . Allen 's eyes lit up at the early opportunity presented to him and he seized it emphatically with a crisp low finish beyond Breeze at his near post on the half-volley . Carlisle looked sloppy during the opening 20 minutes and were guilty of turning over possession time and time again .

Tommy Simkin made a double save to prevent Walsall from falling behind soon after the restart . Carlisle were able to attack down the left with ease and Simkin could only parry a low cross into the danger area .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes taking time away from racing for a specific purpose, which does not align with the defined properties of the construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'opting out of joining his teammates in the Championship' involves the verb 'opting' which is intransitive and does not involve a causer-causee relationship or a movement/prevention interpretation.

The sentence 'Married since 1966, Carl was known for his low-key lifestyle, never once stepping foot on a red carpet, steering clear of glitzy showbiz parties, and opting out of joining Dolly on tour.' contains the phrase 'opting out of joining Dolly on tour.' This fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject (Carl) + V1 (opting) + NP object (implied 'himself') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (joining Dolly on tour). It also fits the semantic criteria, as it implies a prevention interpretation (Carl prevented himself from joining Dolly on tour by opting out). The NP object is coreferential with the subject (himself), which is an atypical but acceptable type of NP object in this construction.

The full statement read : " Carl Dean , husband of Dolly Parton , passed away on March 3rd in Nashville at the age of 82 . He will be laid to rest in a private ceremony with immediate family attending . He was survived by his siblings Sandra and Donnie . Dolly first met Carl when she was just a teenager " Carl and I spent many wonderful years together . Words ca n't do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years . Thank you for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ privacy during this difficult time . " Married since 1966 , Carl was known for his low-key lifestyle , never once stepping foot on a red carpet , steering clear of glitzy showbiz parties , and opting out of joining Dolly on tour . Instead , he quietly ran a paving company and enjoyed life on their expansive Tennessee farm . In a past chat with the Mirror , Dolly spoke fondly of her love for Carl , whom she first met outside the town 's Wishywashy laundromat in 1964 . She said : " I love the fact he loves me , sees me , tolerates me , because of and in spite of myself . " The famous pair got married in 1966 She went on to say : " It 's all about the tender gestures he makes , like picking flowers for me or brewing my morning coffee . He 's incredibly considerate and we adore each other for all the same reasons . " We are very different but very compatible . And it just works . The two greatest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Judy -- and then Carl . I ca n't imagine what my life would have been without them . " Reflecting on their 60-year marriage , The Mirror 's Associate Editor ( Showbiz ) Tom Bryant , who has interviewed Dolly multiple times , shares his vivid memories in a heartfelt first-person piece . He wrote : " It 's fair to say they were totally different : her a global superstar , him quietly running a road-surfacing business until his retirement " , a touching contrast of the couple who crossed paths when Dolly was just 18 . It was just last September when Dolly released a cookbook with her sister , Rachel Parton George , with family at the centre of it . Her book , Good Lookin ' Cookin ' : A Year of Meals -- A Lifetime of Family , Friends , and Food , is a collection of recipes both she and her sister have cooked over the years for their loved ones , including Richard Dennison , Rachel 's husband and previous collaborator of Dolly 's .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'out of' in a different context, referring to the lineage or progeny of horses, which does not involve a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Furthermore , of the first 50 juvenile winners offered across all European breeze-up sales last year , Doncaster produced over 50 per cent of them . Given the Donny breeze lays claim to just over 20 per cent of the total breezers offered last year , it graphically illustrates that if you are looking for precocious , quality horses that win , this is the sale in which to buy them . " He added : " This year we made the conscious decision to reduce the number catalogued , coming down from 234 to 206 to allow us to further focus on quality .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Additionally, it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to describe the president creating a spectacle from the act of praising, which does not align with the defined properties of the construction.

' America is back ! ' Donald Trump bellowed kicking off his first joint address to Congress as the 47th President , marking the fifth time he 's spoken to a gathering of the House and Senate . But this was Trump 's lengthiest and , by far , his most effective effort yet . There were no overtures to bipartisanship , no reaching across the aisle . This was a president certain of the direction that he wants to take the country -- and willing , if not determined , to crush his opposition if necessary . And given the Democrats behavior last night , they deserved every bit of it . Trump walked into the House chamber triumphant on Tuesday evening with a net positive job approval rating ( in many polls above 50 percent ) , facing down a Democratic party that is favored by just 21 percent of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , they may sink even lower after their unhinged performance , in the face of what was a patriotic speech from the president . Right off the bat -- Trump reminded the country how he was able to secure such an overwhelming mandate from the American public . ' We won the popular vote by big numbers and won counties in our country 2,700 to 525 on a map that reads almost completely red for Republican , ' he said . Trump was also clear on why he believes he was elected : to restore the wisdom of the average American to government , a ' common sense revolution . ' ' America is back ! ' Donald Trump bellowed kicking off his first joint address to Congress as the 47th President , marking the fifth time he 's spoken to a gathering of the House and Senate .

' Common sense has become a common theme , and we will never go back . Never , ' he said . Indeed , his record of accomplishments after 40 days is impressive . He has effectively ended the greatest mass migration crisis in the nation 's history . He punctuated that point with the most impactful line of the night . ' The media and our friends in the Democratic Party kept saying we needed new legislation to secure the border . But it turns out all we really needed was a new President ! ' he declared to roars from the Republicans . Indeed in January 2024 , Biden lamely claimed that he had ' done all I can do ' to secure the then-lawless US/Mexico border . Turns out Joe was wrong and Trump is capitalizing on his predecessor 's fecklessness . The president also gave plenty of air-time to his administration 's historic effort to root out waste , fraud and abuse in government . ' Thank you , Elon , ' he said , looking up to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a suit and tie . ' Thank you very much , we appreciate it . ' ' Even this side appreciates it , I believe , ' Trump quipped , gesturing at the glum Dems . He was relishing it - sounding more like a standup comedian then a staid politician . ' Just listen to some of the appalling waste we have already identified , ' he read , reeling off DOGE 's greatest hits . ' $40 million to improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants . Nobody knows what that is . ' ' $8 million to promote L.G.B.T.Q.I.+ in the African nation of Lesotho , which nobody has ever heard of . ' The White House apparently has no concerns with the furious criticism from the mainstream media and Democrats over the new Department of Government Efficiency . They think it is a political winner at a time when public trust in the federal government is extremely low . Only 22 percent of Americans in a new Pew poll say they trust the government to do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that low , radical change is more than tolerable . And some of the most striking scenes last night were n't delivered from the rostrum . Democrats -- sitting on their hands or waving silly signs making them look like bidders at an auction -- made this too easy . Some of the most striking scenes last night were n't delivered from the rostrum . Democrats -- sitting on their hands or waving silly signs making them look like bidders at an auction -- made this too easy . Representative Al Green of Texas , had to be removed from the chamber as he angrily ranted and waved his cane at the president . His shouts -- inaudible to the audience at home -- a fitting metaphor for all these petty protests : utterly useless . Some boycotted the speech entirely . Others staged silent walk outs wearing black T-shirts with the word ' resist , ' as if that had any effect other than making them look sophomoric . Former speaker Nancy Pelosi just seethed . Democrats could n't muster a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by Russia in 2022 and sentenced to 14 years in prison . Trump secured his release last month . Marc and his 95-year-old mother , who had approached Trump on the campaign trail to plead for help for her son , sat smiling in the gallery . Democrats limply reacted to 13-year-old brain cancer survivor DJ Daniel being made an honorary member of the Secret Service . And while everyone else in America was crying for DJ , the punditary glared in disgust . For some reason the moment incensed MSNBC 's Rachel Maddow and Nicolle Wallace who ranted in their post-speech coverage . ' This is disgusting ' spat Maddow . ' The president made a spectacle out of praising a young man . ' Wallace evoked January 6 and said one of the most vile things I 've ever heard on cable news - that she hoped DJ did n't grow up to commit suicide . When the president announced that a senior ISIS-K commander , suspected of masterminding the Abbey Gate suicide bombing in Afghanistan that killed 13 US servicemembers , had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the biggest news of the evening came nearly 90 minutes into the speech - and even that landed like a lead balloon on the Left . Trump announced that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had sent him a letter essentially apologizing for instigating an ugly confrontation in the Oval Office Friday -- and declaring his commitment to pursuing peace with Russia . What a dramatic development , a remarkable turn of events , but that too was met with disdain by the president 's opponents . Time and again , Democrats and their advocates in the media sneered when any normal person would have cheered . No wonder their popular support -- and ratings -- are in retreat . Sure , the address had its ' partisan moments . Trump called Biden the ' worst president in American history ' . When discussing the manipulation of the US justice system , he pointed at the Democrats and called them ' radical left lunatics . ' ' We 've ended weaponized government where , as an example , a sitting president is allowed to viciously prosecute his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out ? Not too good . Not too good , ' he mocked . And he pilloried his favorite target Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren as ' Pocohontas , ' recalling how she once claimed to be a minority after a blood test confirmed she was 1/1024th Native American . But Trump 's insight is that one must be ruthless when your opposition is so unhinged . And it is n't like Democrats covered themselves in glory . Remember how Speaker Pelosi stood behind Trump during his first term and tore his 2020 State of the Union speech in half . In 2024 , Biden took great delight sticking his finger in the eyes of Republicans , firing multiple broadsides at ' my predecessor ' without ever mentioning Trump by name -- 13 times in all .

The president put his finger on it when he said Tuesday : ' I look at the Democrats in front of me and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy or to make them stand or smile or applaud . ' ' So , Democrats sitting before me , for just this one night , why not join us in celebrating so many incredible wins for America ? For the good of our nation , let 's work together and let 's truly make America great again . ' But they wo n't . Let 's be honest - this ' common sense revolution ' will be contested . But , hopefully , it wo n't be defeated . How refreshing to listen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ apologizing for the nation 's perceived sins , or pledging to hamstring American potential to satisfy some amorphorus foreign diktats , or laundry-listing a mind-mumbling list of federal giveaways ( all funded by the taxpayers , mind you ) .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('Missing this deadline locks you out of earning the quest's rewards'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the subject ('Missing this deadline') causes the object ('you') to be prevented from participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate ('earning the quest's rewards').

The best PS5 controllers are n't as abundant as other platforms when it comes to overall choice . That 's obviously a bit of a shame , but what is available is still absolutely worth a look - especially if you 're in the market for a DualSense alternative . Unlike most of the best PC controllers and best Xbox controllers , Sony 's DualSense and premium DualSense Edge controllers do have a unique selling point . They feature bespoke haptic feedback and adaptive triggers that you wo n't find anywhere else - not even from other gamepads in this list . With these features , supported games have a much more immersive and robust rumble register . Some PC games even support this feature , making Sony 's official PS5 controllers excellent choices for desktop play too . You will definitely find haptic support in PlayStation Studios games ported to PC , for example , such as Marvel 's Spider-Man Remastered and Horizon Forbidden West . We 've tested and reviewed every PS5 controller in this list ; across TechRadar Gaming , our team of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ across a wide range of game genres from platformers and shooters to fighting and racing games . As a result , you can be safe in the knowledge that our carefully curated guide will have a PS5 controller that suits your budget and preferences . ? You want all the leading PS5 controller features : The DualSense features haptic feedback , adaptive triggers , a touchpad , and gyro controls as the most advanced OEM pad on the market . Do n't buy it if ? You want a PS5 controller with good battery life : All the bells and whistles come at a price as the DualSense only averages around 4-8 hours on a single charge . The DualSense Wireless Controller takes the top spot as the best PS5 controller right now . It offers excellent build quality and features even higher-end alternatives do n't . We 've been using this particular controller now for over three years to great success because of the genuinely innovative inclusions of haptic feedback and adaptive triggers , which both first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Extra features aside , the DualSense is just an incredibly well-designed gamepad to have in your hands . A little curvier than the DualShock 4 that shipped with the PS4 , this makes for a controller that 's more comfortable to use for long play sessions . Every aspect of the controller , such as the face buttons , the D-pad , and those all-star triggers , feels great to the touch . Where the DualSense is let down by the battery life . All these extra bells and whistles come at a cost : you can expect anywhere from four to eight hours of use between charges . We often found ourselves reaching for the included USB-C cable when going the distance in longer titles such as God of War Raganrok and Ghost of Tsushima . ? You want good value for money : With its steep asking price and worse battery life than the original , the DualSense Edge could be too expensive for some . While the DualSense Edge is only a slight improvement over the stock model , what 's offered here @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hardcore gamers . Priced at $199.99 / ? 209.99 / AU$339.95 , this gamepad is n't meant to replace the standard PS5 controller . The biggest upgrade with the DualSense Edge is in the build quality and aesthetic tweaks . It 's down to the redesigned triggers , touchpad , and slightly heavier chassis . It feels like a premium product while offering the extra functionality you should expect from a controller that 's more than double the cost of a standard DualSense . We particularly enjoyed the adjustable trigger stops , rear paddles , and function buttons which made a real difference in games like Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and Returnal . Depending on how you play on your PS5 , you 'll either notice these additions as game changers or nice extras . The one thing that the DualSense Edge does n't address is the battery life . You can expect anywhere from six to eight hours , depending on what features you 're using . We found that the controller averaged just over seven hours before going flat when utilizing everything that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ controllers aimed at the Esports scene strip away core DualSense functionality and cost more than this , such as with the Razer Wolverine V2 Pro , we think this model is a good investment for those who will use it to its full potential . ? Modularity is essential for you : The Victrix Pro BFG features additional sticks , D-pads , and even a fight stick module meaning it has a ton of variety for competitive and casual play . Do n't buy it if ? You want to retain DualSense functionality : As with other third-party PS5 controllers , you wo n't find adaptive triggers or rumble of any kind on the Victrix Pro BFG . If you 're after a competitive edge in some of the more demanding PS5 games then you should strongly consider the Victrix Pro BFG controller . That 's because this gamepad features not only five different levels of trigger adjustments , four remappable back paddles , and multiple sticks and D-pads to choose from but also an entire fightpad module @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ / AU$269 , the Victrix Pro BFG is considerably more expensive than the standard DualSense , yes , but it does significantly undercut the competition from other first and third-party offerings . A major strength of this PS5 controller that we found in our testing was the lengthy battery life , of which you can expect up to 20 hours , and the lightweight nature of the remote itself . You 've also got a protective carrying case and a 3m long braided USB-C cable just in case you want to bring it to all kinds of gaming tournaments with you . The trade-off here is that you 're forgoing the DualSense functionality all together . Now , this is n't just the case with the Victrix BFG Pro , as other officially licensed pads also are n't using adaptive triggers and haptic feedback . But keep in mind that everything has been stripped back here to prioritize low latency and responsive gaming over more immersive features from the stock PS5 controller . + Vastly customizable + Rear paddles work great @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ avoid - Battery life is n't improved - Premium price tag Buy it if ? You want a customized DualSense : The Scuf Reflex Pro uses the DualSense as a base and adds remappable paddles as extra buttons and a high-performance grip . You 're also able to customize every detail to your liking , too . Do n't buy it if ? You enjoy haptic feedback : While the Scuf Reflex Pro features adaptive triggers as standard , these can be swapped out for instant-click versions , it does n't have haptic feedback , instead just a basic rumble pack . The main attraction of the Scuf Reflex Pro is its customization options , where you can create unique color schemes for your controller with a simple-to-use design tool . You 're paying a pretty penny for the privilege , though . With prices starting at $219.99 / ? 219.99 ( roughly AU$315 ) , fine-tuning your pad does n't come cheap . Our review unit has a black and red color scheme with a complementing face plate and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ There are over 25 pre-made designs to choose from and a vast array of color combinations should you want to take things in a different direction . The main thing that separates the standard Reflex from the Pro variant is the ' high-performance grip ' , which costs $19.99 / ? 19.99 ( approximately $AU38 ) to add to your controller . We found that it was easily the better investment here as it feels substantially more supportive than the otherwise smooth finish of the DualSense 's chassis . The Scuf Reflex Pro retains everything that makes the PS5 DualSense special , the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers . You 're also getting remappable paddles , which you can use to free up your hands over the face buttons . Ultimately , we found these functions are ultimately secondary to the design customization . If you 've dreamed of having a particular color combo for your PS5 controller with the extra coin to spend , this is a great start . - Ca n't replace a DualSense like-for-like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ every button Buy it if ? You have accessibility needs that require something extra : With an array of implementations , button types , use cases , and flexibility on offer , the PlayStation Access controller will open doors or should you need something extra in accessibility , be it small changes or large-scale overhauls . Do n't buy it if ? You need a total solution from a single accessibility controller : Given that one Access controller can not , sadly , replace one DualSense controller wholesale , it does n't represent a complete solution in a single unit . You can , however , add a second Access controller to achieve this but that increases the cost . Previously known as Project Leonardo , the PlayStation Access controller marks Sony 's first official foray into the realm of accessibility-friendly gamepads . The result is a controller that 's potentially more accommodating to disabled players than the standard DualSense Wireless Controller . And it comes packed with a range of modules including sets of buttons and tags to help aid players that may require @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? 79.99 , the PlayStation Access is unfortunately more expensive than the DualSense . This represents a bit more of a barrier to entry for those on a budget ; especially so if you require two Access controllers during play . Overall , though , we 're happy that Sony has created the Access controller . Many of its first-party games are also being updated with official support . In our review , we appreciated the sheer versatility offered by the Access , as well as its high-quality modules and fantastically-designed joystick . + Excellent feeling buttons + Robust build quality + Comfortable on lap and table - A little bulky - Availability is spotty right now Buy it if ? You want an arcade-quality experience : The Nacon Daija is about as close to arcade-level fighting game sticks as you can get for the price . It 's perfect for wanting authenticity in the likes of Street Fighter , Mortal Kombat , and Tekken . Do n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ While the Nacon Daija absolutely nails the feel of an authentic arcade setup , it does also happen to be one of the heaviest PS5 fight sticks available . If you 're looking at a new PS5 controller to get the most out of fighting games , then you should look past a traditional gamepad . The Nacon Daija is our pick for the best fight stick . We were continuously impressed with the build quality , the parts used , and the overall responsiveness when battling it out in titles such as Guilty Gear Strive and Tekken 7 . It 's not cheap , though : the Daija currently retails for around $292 / ? 240 from its ? 279.90 cited MSRP . The Nacon Daija is a controller , with a good amount of heft and size , making it stable when the fighting gets intense . We found the Daija comfortable whether used on the lap or a table . What 's particularly great about this controller is you can open it up to make repairs or any upgrades to the buttons , switches , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ top-of-the-line Sanwa-Denshi parts here , we never saw the immediate need to swap these out . While primarily marketed at the fighting game community , the Nacon Daija is also a superstar for your arcade games . We particularly enjoyed run-throughs of titles such as Streets of Rage 4 , Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Shredders Revenge , and Metal Slug 3 . Given the price tag , it 's certainly an investment , but if you want to take on the latest and greatest fighting games with superior input control than a gamepad , then we think it 's worth a shot . Yes ! Both the DualSense and DualSense Edge have official PC support and will work straight away via a wired USB-C connection . Some games - particularly PC ports of PlayStation Studios titles - also have full haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support , so you 'll be able to get that console-like experience on desktop , too . While most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Victrix Pro BFG , that is n't the case for the official DualSense or DualSense Edge . These are bespoke PS5 controllers and are n't compatible with Sony 's last-gen system . As mentioned above , they do work on PC , at least . The advantage of having a relatively limited pool of PS5 controllers to choose from , is that it 's very easy to pick one that 's suited to your budget and preferences . By design , the DualSense and DualSense Edge have an advantage over other gamepads in their bespoke haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support . If you love single-player games and want some genuinely class-leading physical feedback to go along with them , we 'd recommend either of these . But , only go for the Edge if you have the budget to do so , as it 's Sony 's pricier premium pick . The DualSense should be your first port of call , but this is admittedly because of Sony 's strict third-party limitations . No other PS5 controllers can offer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ itself due to Sony 's rules . If you want a PS5 controller kitted out with high-end features , look no further than the Victrix BFG Pro . This modular controller lets you swap out individual parts , and features handy additions like trigger stops , remappable buttons and - crucially - excellent build quality . Only two of the best PS5 controllers feature Sony 's bespoke haptic feedback and adaptive trigger technology ; those being its official DualSense and DualSense Edge gamepads . This already makes the pair worthy of being in this list , thanks to the high quality of these features paired with the high level of comfort and build quality they provide . When looking elsewhere , we make sure to test the best PS5 controllers on more traditional factors . These include build quality , features that are useful during gameplay ( such as remappable buttons or swappable modules ) or if they 're particularly well-suited to one or two specific genres , as you can see with the Nacon Daija above . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there are n't a great deal of budget picks for PS5 ( supported gamepads here do tend to be pricier than third-party offerings on Xbox and Switch ) , we 've endeavored to cover as broad a price spectrum as possible while still ensuring each pick meets our quality standard .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('those two contracts priced the Chiefs out of paying Thuney for his next contract'). It involves a prevention interpretation, where the contracts prevent the Chiefs from paying Thuney. The verb 'priced' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure metaphorically. The NP object 'the Chiefs' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'paying Thuney for his next contract'. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The departure of Thuney means the Chiefs will take on $10.9 million in dead cap and save $16 million in cap space with the trade , per Spotrac . Kansas City already made center Creed Humphrey the league 's highest-paid player at his position last season , and guard Trey Smith is expected to receive more than $23 million if he returns to the team on his non-exclusive franchise tag in 2025 . It 's likely those two contracts priced the Chiefs out of paying Thuney for his next contract . Thuney was expected to earn an extension worth at least $20 million per season . Thuney played his first five seasons in the NFL with the New England Patriots , winning two Super Bowls during that span . He joined the Chiefs in 2021 and also won two Super Bowls with the franchise . During his nine-year career , Thuney has missed just two games and started 146 games . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'made a spectacle out of praising' does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the president's action of creating a spectacle by praising someone, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

It 's testament to the untamed -- and often unhinged -- imagination that zings from Split Fiction like an explosion at Gamescom 2054 that we must open with a disclaimer . No military grade hallucinogens were taken during the making of this review ; everything you 're about to read is entirely playable . Josef Fares ' Stockholm-based Hazelight Studios -- specialists in split-screen two player co-op-only adventures which are impossible to play solo unless you 're blessed with about twenty fingers -- bagged Game Of The Year in 2021 for their second release It Takes Two , a doll-based divorce romp celebrated for such varied and fantastical gameplay that Fares offered $1,000 for anyone bored by it . Somehow , their third game ups the ante . Split Fiction is a truly head-spinning cornucopia of ideas which manages to be every game you 've ever played and like nothing you 've experienced before . Advertisement The premise itself cleverly allows for limitless creativity . A megalomaniacal tech @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to try out his new machine , which allows them to live inside their own stories . However , there 's evil afoot as Rader 's new gadget is also designed to suck these plucky creatives dry of inspiration and rule the world of underpaid genre writing like OpenAI with a trust fund . Two of the group -- sci-fi author Mio and fantasy hopeful Zoe -- end up falling into the same immersion bubble and , sharing the experience , begin alternating between their very different creations . One chapter , they 're cyber-ninjas zip-wiring and parkour-ing around Blade Runner-inspired cities ; the next they 're olde worlde adventurers fighting through a castle overrun with angry trolls -- all while the deep emotional roots of their stories slowly unravel and their bond inextricably tightens . ' Split Fiction ' . CREDIT : Hazelight The pace is breakneck , and the two central genres exhaustively explored . Game homages stack up by the minute . In the sci-fi realm , you 'll explore intergalactic prison ships straight out of The Callisto Protocoland play anti-gravity segments so Dead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fantasy-wise , you 'll make Assassin 's Creed rappel leaps and haystack dives , explore Tomb Raiderpuzzle caverns , scale Shadow Of The Colossus beasts looking for weak points to stab and find yourself in a haunted sunken city that 's as Elden Ring as they come . Along the way there are artful 2D platforming segments recalling the likes of Ori And The Will Of The Wisps , Donkey Kong barrels to dodge ( in 3D ) , 8-bit arcade pastiches galore and sections reminiscent of the most elegant top-down RPGs . There 's even an entire pinball level and one section where Hazelight get a heart-in-mouth minigame out of clicking boxes on your phone to prove you 're not a robot . Until they go open-world , every other inch of gaming -- often rendered in stunning scenes of futuristic cityscape and mythical mountain vista -- is here . If all this screams ' derivative ' , do n't . Hazelight re-invent and revolutionise each and every format they touch . The 2D interludes might be overused but the inventiveness crammed in utterly justifies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the only major gaming mechanics left out , Split Fiction makes up for it by introducing new powers and abilities for each chapter of the game , making them all instinctive to use and never overplaying them to the point of fatigue . In the Hopes Of Spring level , for instance , you shape-shift between tree gods , fairies and gorillas , each helping the others through a mystical woodland 's intricate puzzling . Rise Of The Dragon Realm has you nurturing pet dragons from magic-infused eggs to gigantic rideable battle beasts . Later chapters involve the smart manipulation of shield-destroying mines , sorcerers controlling spirit trouts and the world 's most elaborate marble run , where the players operate sentient space balls -- one magnetic , the other able to disassemble into a cluster of insect droids . The pace at which these innovations evolve is as breathtaking as the game 's visuals and momentum . No sooner have you discovered that you can inhabit machinery than you 're illuminating your partner 's route , inch-by-inch , through an invisible laser maze that 's as fiendish as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ imagination running wild , with some of its constantly sparking ideas -- the kindly space octopus , the mountain-chopping giants , the monkey conga -- significantly madder than others . Occasional side missions inside glowing orbs , representing our heroines ' more off-the-wall stories , are where the developers really cut loose . Advertisement One has you playing a pair of teeth bouncing through candyland towards a terrifying appointment with a robot dentist . Another , you 're a couple of pigs -- one with propulsive rainbow flatulence , the other a porcine Slinky -- en route to becoming playable barbecue hot dogs . The most charming is a pencil sketch fairy story that draws itself as it goes along , and there 's a hilarious half hour to be spent in a mole wizard village , turning each other into chairs and cheese and thunderclouds . As the final chapter piles meta-concept upon meta-concept , as if courting Christopher Nolan , Split Fiction 's ultimate aim is to explore what a video game can do , both inside and outside the screen . It is gaming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ better it . ' Split Fiction ' is out now on PlayStation 5 , Xbox Series X/S and PC VERDICT By merging the sci-fi and fantasy genres -- and tipping its hi-octane hat to a vast range of classic games besides -- Split Fiction takes a major shot at being all games to all people . Sci-fi fans get their jet packs , wingsuits , hoverboard races , sand shark rides and adrenaline-fuelled jet-ski escapes . Fantasy freaks can shape-shift , spell-cast and commune with the spirits to their leather-armoured hearts ' content . But Hazelight do n't stop there . Within these endlessly inventive 20+ hours you 'll find yourself playing both ends of a giant , two-headed centipede-cum-water hose . Leading a monkey conga-line for the Elton John of ape kings . Sliding through the guts of a hydra , or down a mountain giant 's inside leg . And far , far more besides . It 's an incredibly fun game of ideas and possibilities , on both screen and sofa . Because virtually every battle , puzzle and chase sequence requires close @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ becomes one of collaboration and bonding as intense as that between Mio and Zoe . And believe us , this is a brain-frying ride you 'll want to share -- not least , come the ultra-meta final throes , to have a witness confirming it 's all actually happening . PROS A non-stop , fast-paced barrage of wild , weird and wonderfully original ideas that makes two-player co-op a collaborative joy From a base in homage and familiarity , it stretches the possibilities and twists the very forms of modern video gaming |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'made a spectacle out of praising', where 'praising' is part of a noun phrase describing the spectacle, not a VP[-ing] predicate with a causee. Additionally, there is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Donald Trump has called for Rachel Maddow and her co-host to resign over comments they made about a teenage cancer patient . During his address to Congress on Tuesday , Mr Trump honoured 13-year-old DJ Daniel for persevering in his battle with brain cancer , and had him sworn in as an honorary member of the Secret Service . Ms Maddow and her co-presenter Nicole Wallace issued a scathing rebuke of Mr Trump 's actions , accusing the president of making " a spectacle " out of Daniel . Ms Wallace was widely criticised for saying she hoped the teenager did not become a police officer and " lose his life to suicide " . " I hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer , but I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump 's supporters and if he does , I hope he is n't one of the six who loses his life to suicide , " she said . DJ Daniel was honoured by Donald Trump for persevering in his battle with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Nicole Wallace said , I 've never been a fan of hers , but she 's not very talented . " But I 'll tell you what she said the other day about that young man is disgraceful . " She should be forced to resign , and Rachel Maddow should be forced to resign . Nobody watches her anyway . " I do n't know if it 's ... possible they pay her as much money as I hear , but certainly she 's lost all credibility , both of them . " But what they what they said the other day , they should be forced to resign , about that young person . " Ms Wallace , speaking on a special edition of The Rachel Maddow show , also said that she felt " joy " for DJ over his moment in the limelight , and said " I hope he 's alive for another 95 years and I hope he lives the life he wants to live . " Ms Maddow , meanwhile , branded Mr Trump 's tribute " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this is disgusting -- the president made a spectacle out of praising a young man who 's thus far survived pediatric cancer -- as if the president had something to do with that , " the Left-wing television host said . The MSNBC presenters ' comments were ridiculed online , with some branding their leaps of logic " hateful " and " vile " . Mr Trump singled out Daniel by name , spoke of his brain cancer diagnosis and then gave him " the biggest honour of them all " by making the teenager an honorary secret service agent . Wearing a police uniform , Daniel was hoisted into the air by his smiling father , held up his new law enforcement badge and was met with chants of " DJ ! DJ ! DJ ! " by congressmen . The move received support from Democrats who had vowed to protest Mr Trump 's speech , with some rising to their feet to join in the applause . Discussing how the invitation to attend the address came about , Mr Daniel said : " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ president Trump wants to meet Devarjaye . " After being flown to the capital from Houston , Texas , they were met by FBI agents at the airport and escorted to the Capitol to be guests of honour at the president 's speech . There , Daniel was sworn in and met Tom Homan , the border tsar , before the family were escorted to their seats . " We sat next to Mr Elon Musk , the first lady was in front of us and FBI Director Kash Patel was at my son 's right shoulder , " said Theodis , 47 , a former machinist 's mate and fireman with the navy . " The first lady was nice , sweet , down to earth . Mr Elon shook hands with us . " The father and son were guests of honour at the president 's speech Credit : JIM WATSON Daniel 's aunt told the outlet that the occasion was " awesome " and that her nephew " deserves it " . " I think that such an honor will help @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this , you can accomplish anything , " she said . Daniel was diagnosed with stage three brain cancer in 2018 and was given no more than five months to live . He has since undergone 13 brain surgeries and remains alive six years later . Prior to his diagnosis , Daniel had already decided he wanted to be a police officer when he grows up . To support his son , Mr Daniel arranged for him to be sworn in as an honorary officer with the police department of Brookshire , Texas , in 2019 . The swearing in ceremony on Tuesday marked the 909th time Daniel has been made an honorary law enforcement officer . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'made a spectacle out of praising a young man' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the president's action of creating a spectacle from the act of praising, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

So far this year , Wallace 's show has shed exactly a quarter of the audience it had this time the year before - and the drop is even more stark when put up against numbers seen before Election Day . Typically a time to expect a spike , Wallace pulled in 1.6million sets of eyes in the 10 months leading up to the big day - compared to the 1.1million she 's reeling in now . That 's a 35 percent drop in just a little over a year - at a time where the ratings picture for the network has gone from bad to worse . Since 2021 , it has lost more than half its audience . Scroll down for video : Nicolle Wallace ( seen here on MSNBC 's Deadline White House Thursday is facing a ratings reckoning - even if she 's yet to be reprimanded for her recent on-air comments about 13-year-old Devarjaye DJ Daniel , who has cancer The president himself has said the ' Deadline White House ' host should be ' forced to resign ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) Wallace , meanwhile , made no mention of the pushback she 's received in both her Deadline White House appearances since framing the teen 's honorary appointment to the Secret Service as a form of propaganda from the president Tuesday . Instead , she continued to criticize Trump and his decisions - the same thing she had been doing when , instead of welcoming a moment meant to honor a terminally ill teen , she bizarrely brought up the boy 's hypothetical suicide to make her point . ' I hope he 's alive for another 95 years , and I hope he lives the life he wants to live , ' the former View host first said of Daniel . ' He wants to be a cop , he knows what he wants to do and maybe when you have childhood cancer that crystallizes , ' she went on - before furthering her party 's agenda by bringing up the events of January 6 , 2021 . ' I hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer - but I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against Donald Trump 's supporters , ' she declared . ' And if he does , I hope he is n't one of the six who loses his life to suicide . ' Maddow got in on the action as well - branding Trump ' disgusting ' for shining a light on Daniel 's six-year battle . Like Wallace , she accused the president of making a ' spectacle ' of the young boy 's illness - leading Trump to demand she face justice from her network as well . Daniel , meanwhile , was held up by his father during the ceremony - after dreaming of one day being a police officer while fighting cancer for the past six years ' For the record and this is disgusting , the president made a spectacle out of praising a young man who thus far has survived pediatric cancer , as if the president had something to do with that , ' Maddow said whilst appearing on Wallace 's show . ' This was in the midst of him praising DOGE . DOGE cuts , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ research into pediatric cancer . ' Almost immediately , a storm of replies chiding the anchors emerged on social media , with figures like Wallace 's former View co-star Meghan McCain - an outspoken Trump critic - painting them as inhumane and the result of a progressive agenda . ' No one knows better than me how despicable Nicolle Wallace is but this is a new low even by her and MSNBC 's standards , ' the daughter of well-known Trump-hater John McCain wrote , as the world reacted to the remarks . ' Using a child with brain cancer to say this . Trash from the gutter , ' she added , as several other Republican politicians aired similar outrage . The next day , while signing executive orders in the White House , Trump too weighed in - as calls for Wallace 's firing were still picking up steam . ' Frankly , what Nicolle Wallace said - I 've never been a fan of hers , and she 's not very talented - but I 'll tell you , what she said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ' he said . ' She should be forced to resign . ' He added that the same goes for Rachel Maddow , who rakes in a reported $5million a year . Maddow also got in on the action , branding Trump ' disgusting ' for shining a light on Daniel 's battle . Trump on Thursday the pundit ' should be forced to resign ' from MSNBC as well ' And Rachel Maddow should be forced to resign - nobody watches her anyway , ' he added , after the host branded him ' disgusting ' for shining a light on Daniel 's more than six-year battle . ' The good news is that no one watches them anymore - they have lost such credibility , ' he said , before taking another shot at the salary the star is said to be commanding . ' It 's not possible they pay her as much money as I hear , ' Trump said , months after Maddow is said to have signed a five-year contract .. ' But certainly , she has lost @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they said the other day , both of them ... about that young person , ' he continued . ' They should be forced to resign . ' Maddow , moreover , was already met with calls to resign last month - in the wake of her colleague Joy Reid 's abrupt firing , for what experts already told DailyMail.com was almost certainly due to her on-air comments That was after the $25 million-a-year host took to the air to ream her bosses for Reid 's outster , calling it ' disturbing ' that she and other ' nonwhite hosts in primetime were losing their shows . ' Social media users were quick to demand Maddow put her money where her mouth is , demanding she resign in solidarity with the ratings-challenged star . As for the network as a whole , in February 2021 , MSNBC averaged a total of 1.4 million total viewers every hour throughout the entire day and an average of 2.9 million total viewers during only primetime hours . Today , those numbers are down to just 613,000 and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 50 percent decline on both ends . ' This is an issue that is bigger than Joy Reid , ' media journalist Steve Krakauer told The Mail last week following her firing . ' People felt lied to in 2024 with the big bait and switch with Biden for Harris . MSNBC talked up Harris nonstop . ' But Reid was someone who has been a point of contention to her higher ups , ' he observed . ' They have wanted to saw off the Joy Reid problem for years now ... This was an opportunity with a new president to show her the door and get a new start . ' When it comes to Wallace , Fox News programming that airs during her 4 pm - 6 pm timeslot , has averaged 3.6 million viewers this year - more than triple the viewership of her ' Deadline : White House . ' ' Deadline : White House ' saw a similar decline in the key demographic of adults aged 25-54 , - widely considered the most sought-after sample-set for networks . The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Harris 's landslide loss - settling for an audience of just 108,000 . Wallace has remained defiant , continuing her pushback against Trump without so much as an apology Since the inauguration , " Deadline : White House " has seen been met with some respite - a 38 percent increase from the post-election time frame , now at 1.2 million viewers .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'opted out of using her Montecito home' involves the verb 'opted' which does not fit the typical V1 verbs of the construction, and there is no NP object that functions as a causee. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'opted out of using' which does not involve an NP object that is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee and does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

When Louise Hunt ditched Kyle Clifford , he did not decide to be a better man . He did not try to win her back . He did not focus his attentions on the other women he was seeing . He went out and bought rope , a crossbow , a knife , and duct tape , and searched for online videos of crowing misogynist Andrew Tate . He turned up at Louise 's family home , stabbed her mum to death , and then raped and tortured Louise for two and a half hours as she lay next to her mother 's body . He killed her , and her sister when she returned home , and then put their surviving sister and dad through the hell of a trial because , while he admitted the killings , his fragile ego did not want to admit he had to force himself on his ex-girlfriend . The court heard Clifford blamed Louise 's entire family for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He did n't have the self-awareness to acknowledge that he annihilated a family for being excellent judges of character . He tried to take his own life to escape justice , but was incompetent even at that . He was such a coward he did n't even face them in court . The prosecution attempted to use the fact he had searched up Tate 's videos first as evidence , but the defence argued it out as prejudicial . It made no difference . It is only after the conviction that we now know he watched videos of a self-confessed misogynist , who has been accused of rape and sex trafficking , and who allegedly texted one victim the words " I love raping you " . He has been released from house arrest in Romania and fled to Florida , where a fresh criminal investigation has been opened . He also faces charges in the UK . Tate denies all the accusations against him , but he has indisputably made a killing from misogyny . That is not a crime , but it should be . Dog @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by someone incapable of living his own ( Image : Nicholas Razzell ) This story plays out again , and again . Every three days a woman is murdered by a man . In the past five years , 175 women have been murdered by their sons . Ex-boyfriends , ex-husbands , bodies shoved in suitcases , found in drains , children killed in their beds . Sometimes women kill a man , but if they were doing it at the same rate as men there 'd be uproar and inquiries . There would n't be an MP reading out a list of names once a year while bugger all changes . Make no mistake : this is a slaughter . And it is done purely in the name of power . For a man who feels he has lost it to regain it from a woman who had just enough of the stuff to say ' no ' . And Britain is not the only place where this happens . In the rest of the world , there are 100 million women who have simply @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because you skimmed over it a little quickly . One hundred million . The equivalent , if you 're into comparisons , of the Holocaust sixteen times over . Or 66,000 Titanics sinking . Remember the Norway massacre by Anders Breivik ? Sixty-nine young people slaughtered . Well , imagine that happening every day for 3,835 years . Yeah . That many . Boys outnumber girls , very slightly , when they 're born . If they get a good diet and are lucky enough to live in a wealthy country like yours and mine - you 're among the 30 per cent of the world with the internet , so you 're ahead of the game - women will outlive men , for simple biological reasons . They are more resistant to disease , deal better with the sniffles , and if you can survive childbirth you can survive pretty much anything . But there are many parts of the world where males significantly outnumber women . These are in the parts where the effects of poor diet and disease would , naturally , mean there are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ East , Africa , the girls who should have been born are not there . In these places girls are more likely to die at every stage of their lives ; they are more likely to be aborted , abandoned , to be denied medical care , to be abused , neglected , beaten and murdered . In China alone there are 50million women who ought to be there , but just are n't . Even if they survive , in most of the world girls are seen as less deserving of education , first aid , a doctor 's visit , gynaecology , property , a driving licence , or the protection of the law . And before you stop and think how glad you are your country is n't like that , here in the UK and in most of the developed world women are less likely to earn the same as men for the same job , to be elected to Parliament or to become CEO of a company . If one of us is raped , a jury will be asked to consider whether we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will argue , as Clifford did , he does n't need to do that to get laid . In Britain , 66% of those claiming unemployment benefit are women . Recessions and rounds of redundancies hit them harder than men - women are more likely to work in the public sector which is regularly cut , more likely to work part-time , and are generally seen as more expendable by bosses . There are plenty of employers who think they 'll keep the man on , because he has a family to feed , and let the woman go because it 's a lifestyle choice to have children . Video Loading Video Unavailable Click to playTap to play The video will auto-play soon8Cancel Play now Misogyny costs every man , only he 's not counting it . It costs him taxes to fund and run the courts , prisons , police , social services , the people who clean the blood up at crime scenes . It costs him friends and lovers , causes arguments , fuels family-breakups , employment claims . Sometimes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ may just feel he 's lost something when his mum , partner , sister , daughter , friend or co-worker is having some of the little power they have taken away by a man who is threatened by it . It costs every woman , too . It costs little girls their self-respect when a little boy in the playground mocks their femininity , or says they ca n't do it because they 're female . It costs teenagers the confidence they need to become healthy adults , when they are told they are too fat , too thin , too clever , too stupid , too sexy , or not sexy enough . It costs every woman peace of mind , safety , the ability to walk home in the dark , the right to have a drink with friends , the ability to decide for herself what she does and who with . With misogyny running rampant amid the algorithms on social media , men 's sanity is being twisted at every stage of their development . It 's not called misognyny . It 's boys @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ teenaged hormones . It 's how men think . It 's the battle of the sexes . Has anyone who said those words ever stopped to ask themselves why it 's a battle , and what exactly you 're fighting for ? Women are fighting to be heard , and men to be wilfully deaf . Even those who consider themselves not misogynists nevertheless overlook , ignore , and do n't speak up when it 's their son , their brother , their mate , perpetrating it , or liking Tate 's videos . It would not be acceptable to make a fortune out of promoting the hate of a minority . So why is it fine to do it to the one bit of society which should be in the majority , if only they were n't being killed at such a clip ? With race hate and gay hate , two things changed : the law , and social attitudes , in that order . It became a crime , and while the first generation just buttoned their lip the next grew up in a world where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the murder rate fell . We can do the same with the three women murdered every week in this country , and by example do something to correct the 100million missing worldwide , if we just make misogyny the hate crime that it is . Catch these buggers early . Pull them up by the ears at school . Ban it from pubs and the workplace . Make it socially unacceptable to be this unacceptable , and in one generation we will have saved thousands of lives , and billions of pounds . We will have saved our granddaughters . So on International Women 's Day , do this one thing : make better men . |

The FiiO FP3 wired earbuds are energetic , bold and beautiful . This is a near-perfect set of budget in-ears , that bring planar driver technology to the masses and , while they could admittedly stand to be a little more comfortable , these lightweight IEMs are otherwise an ideal entry point into a world of earbuds that Actually Sound Good . The FiiO FP3 wired earbuds are an entry-level answer to a luxury-bracket question : " what if in-ear monitors were n't boomy , tinny little noise boxes ? " In a market sadly defined by 10 a penny bass-boosted earbuds and wireless gym-friendly noise fodder , where 's the love for those who just want to listen to music well ? Great-sounding in-ears often come at a premium , particularly where cleverer and cleverer design is necessary to get the most out of something so small . At the extreme end of the price scale , you 'll find audiophile-grade in-ears that dwarf your current savings balance . Enter FiiO , whose in-house R&D has dramatically Aragorn-ed the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wired earbud market . At first glance , the FiiO FP3 wired earbuds are strikingly distinguished . A curvy plastic body ( 3D-printed , then polished and UV-coated ) is adorned with a branded faceplate coin of rosewood or black walnut -- it 's giving ' executive saloon interior ' , but not at all in a bad way . This fun design , believe it or not , is n't the star of the show here . Instead , it is FiiO 's internally developed 14.5mm planar drivers , which promise better precision , lower distortion and extended frequency response among other micro benefits befitting the drivers ' micro size . Planar drivers are a hit overall for their soundstage-y , highly responsive attributes , but FiiO 's done something especially remarkable in designing some highly capable drivers for IEMs that come in under $100 . More on sound shortly , though ; first , let 's try them on . ( Image credit : Future / James Grimshaw ) The FiiO FP3 earbuds are wired , with an around-the-ear design . The wire in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two sets of twisted pairs connecting to the buds by way of a two-prong plug-in terminal . It is so , so cool that a pair of in-ears this cheap features removable wires as standard , not in the least for eliminating the biggest issue haunting less expensive wired earbuds -- broken internal wires . The FP3s ' wrap-over wear style is fun , functional and actually quite comfortable . Some clear heat shrink tubing covers the braided wires for the first few inches from the end connector , so there 's no unpleasant rub behind the ears . Once you get the buds themselves sitting correctly , you 'll start to feel like you 're wearing nothin ' at all ( nothin ' at all , nothin ' at all , nothin ' at all ... ) -- but not for altogether long , unfortunately . A slight , but nonetheless aggravating , burn creeps in before long , even when switched down to the smallest size of ear tips supplied with the FP3s . While my undersized ear canals might not be in the 80th percentile @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ slight comfort-related misfortune . And misfortune is the word , because it 's a real shame that the FP3s do n't sit as well as they could do for long listening sessions . Why ? Because they 're Actually Honestly Quite Good , Really . The first thing that strikes me about the sound quality of the FP3 IEMs is their remarkable three-dimensionality . Where lesser earbuds unceremoniously cram you into an airing cupboard with your favorite band , the FP3s give you a wide hall ; the playful guitarry arrangements of Maps & Atlas ' Beware and Be Grateful breathe freely , while Them Crooked Vultures ' roomy production sprawls out ahead . That three-dimensionality presents not just with stereo image , but also dynamically . The toms in Sally Oldfield 's Blue Water ( a secret 1980s groover your DJ friend would kill to know about ) ping and bounce with delightful depth and sense of place . ( Image credit : Future / James Grimshaw ) The biggest bugbear I have with most less expensive earbuds is their approach to treble . Other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ harshness , with respect to the FP3s ' treble response , but I 'm overjoyed to report that this could n't be further from my own experience . Instead , I found a remarkably well-tamed high-end , with a softness you 'd normally expect to find in mid-sized speaker drivers . Still , there 's a presence and robustness to the top end , which shines particularly brightly against the harsh noisy competition of the great urban outdoors . Big Americana arrangements such as those of Andrew Bird 's Armchair Apocrypha still carry clarity and weight , even as grumbling bus engines and caterwauling kids try to rob them of both . Listening to sparser heart tuggers , like Blood from Pile 's album All Fiction , you can hear the reedy , human quality that these drivers possess , and which works wider wonders for stand-out folky vocals and anything featuring strings . The mid-range can occasionally be a little listless , but this does appear to be somewhat by design . Indeed , Queens of the Stone Age 's Lullabies to Paralyze is reproduced with a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' Little Sister 's guitars to feed the cymbals and kick instead . Bass , though , is supple and structured , supported by some nifty ( and proprietary ) acoustic design in the buds . Tasteful is absolutely the word -- a world away from so many active earbuds ' wubby flub . As with practically any set of in-ear monitors , and even with the FP3s ' structured soundstage and carefully tweaked frequency response , you can figuratively hear the walls around your music . Despite this , the FP3s remain the broadest-sounding , least claustrophobic in-ears I 've heard below $200 . These wired in-ear monitors are little more than they present themselves to be : excellently engineered budget IEMs , with phenomenal balance and dynamic tautness . There 's no on-device volume controls , nor a microphone to take hands-free calls with -- but as someone who 's longed for a set of in-ears that do one thing well , I personally do n't miss these superfluous mod cons . The FiiO FP3s in-ears , at $89.99 / ? 85.99 / AU$170 ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who wants a little more from their on-the-go listenings . For your money , you get the IEMs , six sets of silicone ear tips and a quite honestly bizarre little plastic drawer in which to store them . What you also get , though , is a listening experience at least five times more valuable . ( Image credit : Future / James Grimshaw ) $89.99 / ? 85.99 / AU$170 ( approx . ) Launched December , 2024 The FiiO FP3 in-ears are a remarkable entrant in the best earbud space , marrying audiophilic impulses with budget-level price points . Sure , $89.99 / ? 85.99 / AU$170-ish might not sound ' budget ' for a pair of wired ( ! ) , passive ( ! ) earphones , but when you see the eye-watering prices of the in-ear monitors on which the FP3s were clearly modeled , the appellation will make absolute sense . These in-ear monitors bring some smart driver design to a highly accessible price point , and fill what is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to bulky , bass-heavy earbuds and weedy 10 a penny earphones . If you 've ever felt let down by a gifted pair of Beats , or resented having to make space in your bag for a bulky pair of decent hi-fi headphones , the FiiO FP3s are the tonic you 've been waiting for . Incredible . The planar drivers are lightning-quick , extensively responsive and carefully tuned with an unbelievably three-dimensional soundstage for the price point . Great in noisy environments . 4.5/5 Design Smart-looking , with a posh wood finish and swanky braided wires . It 's just a shame they are n't quite as comfortable when listening for extended periods of time . 4.5/5 Value Light on consumer audio bells and whistles , but heavy on frankly peerless sound quality in an absurdly fun format . In-ear monitors sounding this good below $100 is a gift . 5/5 You 're a music anorakThe FP3s ' planar drivers provide unbelievable sound at this price , with an extended frequency range , tight dynamics @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mixes . If you 're fed up of compromizing on sound quality in your portable earbuds , try these on for size . You 're on a budgetThe sub-$100 price point puts these wired in-ears squarely in low-budget territory , despite their high-fidelity capabilities . Other , more expensive earbuds might have active noise-canceling and other built-in gubbins galore , but will they sound this good ? Probably not . You 're a multi-taskerThe lack of built-in microphone , on-unit controls and even active noise-canceling may be a big turn-off for many . After all , earbuds are now unavoidably multi-purpose devices ! If you want a catch-all set of in-ears you can work to , work out to and call your mum with , you 'll want a different product altogether . You only use your smartphone to listen to musicMost smartphones today have , unfortunately , dispensed with analogue audio outputs altogether -- making wireless headphones and earbuds de rigeur for out-and-about listening . The FiiO FP3s are wired , and so are n't as convenient for some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or a dedicated media player ) . Well-apportioned techy in-ears for their price , they cram some noise-canceling tech into their small earbuds alongside remote music and volume controls , and an in-built mic . The sound is clear and three-dimensional , even if it does n't quite reach the FiiO FP3s ' dynamic tautness . Tested at home , listening to high-quality audio files through a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 's headphone out Tested out and about , using an iPod Classic The FiiO FP3 in-ear monitors lived in my coat pocket for a month , wrapped around a 160GB iPod Classic I 'm still proud to be toting today .

In the lead-up to Avowed 's launch , game director Carrie Patel quoted its ending permutations as being in the " double digits , " and having seen the end , I do n't even have to get into more granular quest results to come up with a similar number . There are two major choices at the end of the game that determine your main ending variations , with little choices throughout the game that then affect how happy or sad it all is . I 've organized this guide to go over the two divergence points , with a section at the end covering the smaller quests reflected in the ending slideshow , and how I think different choices play off , complement , or contradict each other . As a note : You can indicate your preference for different end states ( like an independent Living Lands ) throughout the game , but this does n't lock you in to one choice or another . You can even pull a switcheroo and side with the Steel Garrote right at the very end of the game @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has its own , unique consequences ? . ( Image credit : Obsidian ) The first major choice you 'll encounter after Avowed 's point of no return is whether to kill or spare Sapadal , the god living in your head . Though there are three distinct choices , how you behave toward Sapadal throughout the game may influence your ending slides if you spare her . All three choices bring an end to the Dreamscourge . Sparing Sapadal lends itself the most to an independent Living Lands , but this choice does not appear to have any direct conflicts with Avowed 's political endings ? -- with the notable exception of siding with the Steel Garrote and L ? dwyn . Releasing Sapadal brings an end to the Dreamscourge . One of the final ending slides describes Sapadal 's character and attitude toward the Living Lands and its people . The only variation I 've seen so far describes them calming down and learning to value life , but it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them and the example you set throughout the game , with the possibility of Sapadal becoming a more vengeful deity in response to ruthless or callous characters . If this ending does exist , it may require you to kill Ygwulf in Paradis along with other early game ruthless choices ? -- Radio Times Gaming on YouTube noted that they were unable to get a " vengeful " Sapadal ending slide after sparing Ygwulf but encouraging the god 's darker urges . Sparing Sapadal and giving them the Adra mech in Sargamis ' quest early in the game will result in a special ending slide describing how the god makes use of it . It 's unclear if this is similarly contingent on how you influence Sapadal 's morality , but the slide I got showed a very sweet , Iron Giant sort of situation .

Killing Sapadal ends the Dreamscourge just as if you saved them . As a note : Sapadal and the other gods ' relationship takes on a different character if you played Pillars of Eternity . At the end of the first Pillars , it 's revealed that the main pantheon of Eora are artificial beings , brought to life by an ancient civilization 's mass sacrifices and powerful magic . Sapadal , being a similar entity born from a gradual loss of life and accumulation of souls with no mortal hand behind it , could thus be argued to be the only " true " or " natural " deity in the setting . ( Image credit : Obsidian ) I did n't even realize this was an option before watching Radio Times Gaming 's ending guide for Sapadal , and this strikes me as a darker , " bad " ending option @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get new , more Sapadal-centric dialogue options and interjections during the final battle , and L ? dwyn has special dialogue for if you go this route . The ending slide reveals that Sapadal fully overtakes and buries your original personality , reminding me of the Mind Flayer ending for Baldur 's Gate 3 . The Dreamscourge , though , is once again defeated . There are four main political outcomes for the Living Lands that you can choose during the council with the Living Lands ' political leaders before the final battle in Dawnshore : Steel Garrote victory , Aedyran colony , Aedyran " gr ? fram , " and independent Living Lands .

The choices you have to make to avoid this are : Do all of that , and L ? dwyn knights you as a paladin of the Steel Garrotte , letting you survive to see her bring the Living Lands to heel . Do n't you feel nice ? The slightly less fascist ending that 's still pretty grim . If L ? dwyn 's ending is like letting Caesar die in New Vegas then siding with Lanius , this one is like the good karma Caesar 's Legion ending . Aedyr takes over direct governance of The Living Lands , and some of your settlement choices can play off this ending in particularly happy or dark ways : Things do not go well for Solace if Aedyr takes over and Kostya is not in charge . Fior and Thirdborn do n't seem to have a particularly happy ending with Aedyr no matter what you choose . Ah , a moderate , are we ? Bet you were a " Normal " or " Sorry " copotype in Disco Elysium . Illuminati ending in Deus Ex . " Why ca n't we all just get along ? " No matter . The Living Lands gets " kinda " colonized by Aedyr , but still has a say in its own governance . Things are a bit nicer for Solace , Fior , and Thirdborn , but we can do better . Pick a side , man . ( Image credit : Obsidian ) Hell yeah , baby . No gods , no masters . Yes Man ending . Results in a very positive ending for an intact Fior , Mihala-led Solace , and a Paradis where Ygwulf was n't killed . I ca n't speak to how things turn out here if Kostya destroys Solace or Fior is allowed to burn , and I have yet to see a happy ending for Thirdborn under any of the major paths ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ choices with ending slides ( Image credit : Obsidian ) This is just a quick rundown of optional content that I 've seen have an effect on the ending slideshow : Giatta can either stay an animancer , or just chill out and get into music like somebody 's cool aunt , depending on how you encourage her . I 've seen Yatzli either stay in Fior or apprentice to Ryngrim ? -- I 'm not sure what happens if she does n't apprentice herself and Fior is destroyed . The Fior ending had her restless and worried she missed out . Marius winds up pretty happy and content if you finish his quest . It 's probably a major bummer if you do n't . Kai 's ending is , of course , a real downer if you do n't do his quest . Depending on what you say to him after his personal quest , he 'll either live , laugh , love like Giatta , return to Rauatai as a political reformer , or stay to help rebuild Thirdborn . I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's own slides , but this is the closest I 've seen to a happy ending for the town . All three of Kai 's happy endings can also be followed by a romance epilogue , if you expressed your interest . If you gave Sargamis ' Eothas mech to Sapadal in Dawntreader and then spared the god , you 'll get a slide about how they use it . It 's all very " Iron Giant " for a Sapadal at peace , unclear if there 's a " vengeance " variation .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'take the hassle out of ironing' is a different construction where 'ironing' is a gerund acting as the object of the preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate with a causee.

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

For two decades , Rapha has been at the forefront of cycling culture , elevating the sport 's aesthetic and community-driven experience . The British brand encouraged us to wear our passion for cycling with pride , to celebrate our love for the sport and to invite others to join the ride . It wrote the playbook on how to be a successful cycling brand , but as it celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2024 , it did so against a backdrop of continued financial challenges . Reporting its seventh consecutive year in the red -- with a pre-tax loss of ? 22.7 million ( $29.5 million ) in the latest accounts -- Rapha is searching for a new path forward . Yet , despite its financial losses , there is an unmistakable optimism within the company as it bets on a future powered by women . Rapha 's commitment to women on bikes is n't new , but it 's never been more visible . Last fall , participation in the Rapha Women 's 100 event grew by 40% , making it its biggest year yet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the brand 's new CEO , and headed into the 2025 season , Rapha is sponsoring more female athletes than male athletes . The momentum in women 's sports is undeniable , and Rapha is determined to not just be part of it but to lead the way once again . " It 's not a secret that the bike industry has had a tough time , and not all of the news coming out of cycling is particularly positive at the moment , but on the women 's side , we still feel that growth is coming and we want to be a big part of it , " Sophie Poston , Rapha 's Influence and Media Manager , told Cycling Weekly . " It 's a magic moment for women 's sport where almost anything can happen .

In basketball , Caitlin Clark and her peers are electrifying the game , setting record-breaking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Women 's World Cup shattered records with 2 billion viewers . In cycling , the rebirth of a women 's Tour de France has given women 's racing a long-overdue spotlight , and commercially , it 's been deemed an " absolute , clear , undeniable success " with broadcasts in 190 countries worldwide and tens of millions of viewers for each stage .

" It 's a really optimistic time for women 's sport in general . It would be really cool if women 's cycling could have a bit of that Caitlin Clark effect that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going on at Rapha at the moment , as well , where we feel this genuine sense of optimism and momentum around the women 's side of the sport . " Lael Wilcox and Miranda Miller . ( Image credit : Dominique Powers ) Of course , Rapha does not expect female customers alone to push the brand back into the green . Currently , the ratio of its male to female customers is estimated at 3 to 1 , which is in line with the cycling market at large and also the gender split of this publication 's readership . Male riders need n't worry -- they remain Rapha 's priority number one -- but the women 's sector is increasingly seen as a crucial growth opportunity for the brand 's future success . " I think we hope , like everyone else in the industry , that we can be part of growing the customer base that are women by encouraging more women to get out on their bike . That 's a big ambition . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have faith that the customer base will grow as a result of that investment , " Poston explained . The Women 's 100 is a prime example of a successful initiative to get more women on bikes . It 's been going on for 10 years and growing steadily .

We want to inspire more women to ride by telling the stories that matter , breaking down barriers , and showing the world what women 's cycling really looks and feels like , " said Christina Lindquist , Rapha 's Marketing Director From the outset , Rapha captured the spirit of cycling with iconic imagery of beauty paired with grit and determination .

This range of products includes a cycling-specific hijab , full-length pants and loose-fitting tops . " Are there currently a huge number of Muslim cyclists looking for a hijab to ride in ? No , but there are some and there will be more once that product exists , " Poston said . Build it and they will come .

On a muggy New Yorkday in late July , Kiko Kostadinov is poking around an upmarket vintage store in Williamsburg . Kostadinov , 35 , is one of the most talented fashion designers of his generation , a tattooed brainiac from Bulgaria whose namesake London-based brand is on a serious hot streak . Kostadinov 's left-field runway collections are flying out of stock rooms , and a steady stream of collaborations with the likes of Asics and Levi 's is generating ever-more hype for his independent operation . Still , nothing appears to make Kostadinov happier than digging through piles of dusty garments . He 's not here to shop , not exactly . The normally shy Kostadinov is on a research mission , searching for unusual clothes that might inspire his own unusual designs . " I already have a rack of , like , 20 things there , " he says , thumbing at a swathe of pieces he 's put aside , before sticking his arms back into a rack of midcentury dresses . There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but the designer seeks much weirder source material . " It could be a pattern , it could be the way they washed it , " he explains , moving on to some ugly ' 80s blouses that are a riot of shiny rayon and shoulder pads and confounding pleats -- exactly the kinds of ersatz details he abstracts in his idiosyncratic , futuristic menswear . As he rubs fabrics between his fingers and turns things inside out , I wonder if this is what it was like to witness Yves Saint Laurent trawling the souks of Marrakech , assembling a radical worldview stitch by stitch . " I do n't know why I love these pieces so much , " he says , examining an exquisitely strange ruffled pullover that I can almost see morphing into a runway look . Because , perhaps , it already has : " And then I have to go -- Stop , I have so many ! " Today , Kostadinov is incognito by his standards , wearing an oversized vintage Orvis T-shirt and flowy black trousers of his own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dark brows . His clothes tend to attract attention because Kostadinov seems to reject the easy and approachable . His jackets are mutated hybrids of references spanning sartorial history , cultural motifs from Bulgaria , and art ; his shirts shaped by a jungle of complex darting techniques . In the fast-fashion era , Kostadinov 's singular weirdness is an advantage : " It 's not copyable , " remarks the contemporary artist Ryan Trecartin , a close collaborator of Kostadinov 's . Kostadinov founded the brand in 2016 after graduating from Central Saint Martins and it has grown steadily ever since . Yet after nearly a decade he still has a hard time shaking his reputation as a cult designer . He is often referred to as an artist -- a compliment but a telling one . The brand is stocked in many speciality high- fashion stores but few mainstream outlets , and critics have at times questioned whether his clothes are too complicated . Implicit in such critiques is that they are far too niche for a mainstream audience . Kostadinov , for his part , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scalability . " I just want to make cool shit , " he says . This strategy seems to be working : his renown -- and business -- is growing rapidly . Last year he opened an office in Paris and a retail store in Tokyo , designed by Trecartin , that has at times attracted queues of eager shoppers . " Most of the stuff that we make for the show we sell , " Kostadinov notes as he fiddles with pieces of wool and polyester . " Now with the store , it 's a game changer . " Last summer , he jolted the June edition of a relatively turgid Paris Fashion Week back to life with a presentation of what he referred to as science-fiction clothing for today . Those clothes were some of his weirdest and most compelling to date , with wool herringbone blousons bearing armour-like chest panels , simple cotton trousers made complex through intricate pleating down the legs , ankle-length tunics in crisp poplins of electric blue and faded lime , padded hats that unfolded into wearable gilets , and puckered-nylon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ runway packed a concise visual punch ; every piece examined backstage revealed a suite of ingenious details . " We ca n't create emotion through a big set or through special invitation , " he acknowledges . " The only way to create emotion is through the clothes . " You can find precedents for focused creative mavericks establishing global followings in Kostadinov 's closet . He is a clothing obsessive , with an encyclopaedic knowledge of fashion history and a collection of rare Yohji Yamamoto pieces -- a patron saint of garmento nerd-dom . He also looks up to Rick Owens , independent purveyor of luxury wraithlike rave garb . " I would love to wear it , " he says , " but it 's not really practical for me . " Like Owens , Kostadinov is the best model and muse for his own work . And like Owens , he commands a hard-core customer base that embraces his passions unreservedly : on Discord , there 's a 1,000-strong Kiko Kostadinov fan club where members flex their collections . But lately , his work has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ handful of celebrities dedicated to developing singular personal styles . Timoth ? e Chalamet , for one , has taken to wearing ugly-cool Asics sneakers of Kostadinov 's design . And NFL player Stefon Diggs takes time out of his itinerary of big--budget Paris Fashion Week shows to sit front row at Kostadinov 's low-key catwalks . " I have n't seen anything like it , " Diggs says . " These days you see a lot of the same things repeatedly , maybe a little tweak on the silhouette . But Kiko is really jumping out there to do something totally different . " Kostadinov was first captivated by clothing as a teenager in Pazardzhik , Bulgaria . At the time , the Eastern European country was not exactly a fashion hotspot , and the words TK Maxx held an exotic mystique to a young Kostadinov , who waited by the door for sportswear by brands such as Umbro that an uncle living in London would send home . " When I opened this treasure box I felt like , Wow , " he recalls . " It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , that kind of level . " In 2006 , when Kostadinov was 16 , his family joined the uncle in London . Kiko barely spoke English , and often retreated to high-street clothing stores between and after classes . After bailing on an IT training programme , he applied to Central Saint Martins , getting in on his second attempt . When he arrived , he furiously played catch-up . " I had to learn about contemporary art , Margiela , Comme -- I had no idea , " he says . After earning his BA , he won a place on the school 's prestigious MA in menswear , becoming an expert in the language and history of fashion , funding his tuition by buying vintage Issey Miyake and Comme des Gar ? ons pieces from Japan and selling them on eBay . " What I admire most about Kiko is that he decided who he wanted to become and actively made himself into that person , " recalls Olya Kuryshchuk , the founder and editor in chief of fashion magazine 1 Granary , who overlapped @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I 've ever met another student as determined as Kiko was at university . " From top : Autumn 2018 , spring 2023 , spring 2021 . Vogue Runway Now , Kostadinov co-owns his company with Laura and Deanna Fanning , the Australian twin sisters who have been creative directors of Kiko Kostadinov womenswear since 2018 , when Kostadinov hired them after Central Saint Martins . It 's a notable setup , reminiscent of the creative structure of some of LVMH 's biggest houses , which split duties between men 's and women 's designers . The brand now has 30-plus staff , including Kostadinov 's mother , who works in production . " Whenever people are like , The big fashion houses are so established that there 's no way to emerge as one now , I 'm always like , No , that 's not true , " says Trecartin . " Kiko is definitely going to be as big as these fashion houses some day . " But does Kostadinov actually want to be huge ? Back in 2017 , he began @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ collaboration with Japanese sportswear giant Asics . The partnership is one of an ever-evolving buffet of side projects that reflect Kostadinov 's deep capacity for reinvention and deft understanding of how to create desire , like an intentionally enigmatic line of art merch dubbed Otto 958 , space-age leather goods made with Ecco.Kollektive , and new made-to-order Japanese furniture . When the first Kiko Kostadinov x Asics dropped , it was in the midst of a bumper crop of trainer collabs with emerging talents . But when Kostadinov 's futuristic trainer in neon green was swiftly snatched up by contemporary arbiters of taste such as Kanye West , Kostadinov had the insider status symbol sneaker of the moment -- a ticket to fashion stardom any of his young , cash-strapped designer peers would have killed for . So it came as a surprise when Kostadinov hit the brakes on the collab in 2019 , pulling his namesake footwear from the runway . " People were recognising the shoes more than the brand , " he says matter-of-factly . " I did n't study so long at fashion school @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it to be turned into a sneaker corporation . " Kostadinov instead pitched Asics a unisex sportswear line dubbed Asics Novalis , as well as a separate line of styles " curated " by the designer -- the ones Chalamet was photographed in at an LA petrol station in December . To his credit , by renegotiating the partnership on his own terms , Kostadinov 's sequel Asics project seems poised to be an even bigger blockbuster than the first . On that afternoon in late July , Kostadinov appears to be reconsidering his dedication to niche . As we head to the checkout with a couple of thousand pounds ' worth of garments , he is describing the commercial reception to his June show when he casually drops the news he 's been keeping to himself all afternoon : " And we 're opening a new store in LA . " He flashes an almost sheepish grin when he notices my surprised reaction . Kostadinov has made a career out of keeping his audience guessing , but I would n't have bet that he would open @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of an avant-garde fashion town . Is this Kostadinov building his global fashion house , or another eccentric twist in his brand 's nonlinear evolution ? Could it be both ? Kostadinov in his Tokyo store , designed by Ryan Trecartin as more art exhibition than retail space . Four months afterour shopping trip , Kostadinov is putting the finishing touches to the Los Angeles store . Literally -- on a bright afternoon in late November , a few hours before the grand opening , a few employees are hurriedly stapling roofing shingles to the walls . The shop is smack in the middle of the buzzy micro-neighbourhood of Melrose Hill , which in the past few years has been transformed by hip developers from a stretch of garages and discount furniture stores into a pocket of photogenic caf ? s and art galleries . The corner space is in a pleasant mission-style complex on North Western Avenue , about a block away from a sprawling new David Zwirner art gallery . The plan is to open the doors for a cocktail party in a few hours @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with Laura and Deanna . ( Kiko and Deanna got married in August .

Vogue Runway " Everyone says it 's going to be crazy , " notes Kostadinov , who is wearing a grey hoodie with the name " Trecartin " splashed across the hem in electric blue type . Kostadinov tapped Ryan to design the store , which looks like a sort of fantasy suburban landscape under alien invasion , with floor-to-ceiling roofing shingles , a grassy green carpet , and clothes hung from fixtures that look like they could have been sourced from a Dover Street Market on Mars . " I 'm like , OK , that 's good , " adds Kostadinov , who has been posting the opening-announcement flyer all over Instagram . " The more people there are , the more I can kind of hide in a corner . " Though he 's getting used to growing pains , it still seems to bug Kostadinov that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cutting fabric and pinning patterns on a mannequin in his bustling studio in London . " Obviously , I have an opinion on image and how things need to look in a campaign , or I will be involved in the process of picking a colour for , I do n't know , a chair ? " he muses . " It 's not what a fashion designer is supposed to do . Do I like it ? I do n't mind it , but I like just making clothes , really . " Kostadinov 's clothes thrum with a strangeness and surprise more often found in contemporary art than fashion . His deep ties to the art world stretch back to one of his side projects , when , in 2018 , gallerist Al Mor ? n tapped Kostadinov to soft-launch a fine-art practice at his space , Mor ? n Mor ? n . The show , titled " Otto 958 , " revealed Kostadinov 's experimental tailoring process in five overcoats combined with vintage cycling and rugby shirts , which hung from the sculptural racks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there 's just a deep connection between how Kiko thinks about art and how he thinks about fashion , " says Mor ? n . " He builds those bridges in a really considered way . " Then , in a very Kiko move , Kostadinov and Mor ? n turned Otto 958 into a line of limited edition art-adjacent merchandise -- yet another outlet for his restless creativity . In LA , the bearded Mor ? n is overseeing the final preparations for the grand opening . ( He had introduced Kostadinov to Trecartin , a star on the Mor ? n Mor ? n roster . ) " I 'm so washed on current aesthetics , " Mor ? n notes with approval . " I feel like right now what the world needs is maximalism and a real POV that stands for something . " Trecartin adds , speaking of Kostadinov : " He was like , Make it an installation . Think of it as making art . Do n't think about what I want . " A few hours later , when it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ afford to hide in the corner . " We need more staff ! " he exclaims as a steady stream of bodies pours through the doors and heads straight for the merchandise . Outside , a queue stretches down the street . There is such a shopping frenzy underway that a bartender set up in the courtyard is left idly playing with her phone . About an hour in , Kostadinov is rushing to replenish the racks when there 's a knock on the window : singer Steve Lacy , trying to jump the queue . Kostadinov lets Lacy in and gives him a familial hug before the pop star grabs a pricey leather jacket with geometric pockets cut across the front . Lacy has been one of Kostadinov 's best clients since 2018 .

A boy accused of murdering 80-year-old Bhim Kohli as he walked his dog in a Leicestershire park told police he fell and landed on the pensioner 's rib cage as he ran to push him over , a court has heard . Mr Kohli died in hospital the day after suffering fractured ribs and a spinal cord injury in the alleged attack in Franklin Park , Braunstone Town , near Leicester , in September last year . The ongoing trial at Leicester Crown Court has heard that Mr Kohli was allegedly racially abused before he was forced to the ground and slapped in the head with a shoe by a 14-year-old boy wearing a balaclava , while a girl , aged 12 , filmed the attack . The boy , now 15 , is charged with murder and an alternative charge of manslaughter , while the girl , now 13 , is charged with Mr Kohli 's manslaughter .

The court was told that when the boy was being put into a police car after his arrest , he said : " I did it , I did it , I had my reasons , but I did it . " In a prepared statement at the police station , the boy said it was Mr Kohli who " started it " and was " aggressive " , but said he regretted what had happened .

The boy said that after walking away , he saw Mr Kohli approaching the girl defendant with his arms raised as if he would " punch her in the face " .

Saturday 1415 GMT Dublin Live on ITV It seems unusual to open up the weekend with the biggest game of the lot , the fixture that will determine the destiny of the title . But here we are . It 's the rugby equivalent of having Fury versus Usyk as the undercard at Aviva Las Vegas . Ireland and FRANCE , the two heavyweights of the northern hemisphere heavyweight division , who 've finished first or second in each of the last three years , have it all on the line . The previous 12 Six Nations meetings in Dublin have only averaged 37 points and I expect something similar this Saturday . Ireland 's record 38-17 win in Marseille in 2024 is an outlier in the head to head stats , with over half of the previous Six Nations meetings being settled by seven points or fewer and a couple of draws thrown in for good measure . With what 's at stake , you 'd imagine this latest clash will be typically tight and low-scoring . France could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they 've only achieved once in the last dozen clashes ( a 30-24 win in the 2022 Grand Slam season ) . In fact I 'm keen to back them in both those markets , odds-against to win and a shade of odds-on to score under 22.5 points . That said , we might not have to wait too long for the game 's first try . In four of the last six fixtures between the teams , someone has crossed the whitewash in 10 minutes and under . But a rip roaring start could be followed by an arm wrestle as two hugely physical teams go toe-to-toe . From 2019 onwards , ANTOINE DUPONT ( 14/1 ) has scored the first try twice , and his opposite number at scrum-half , the Lions No.9 elect Jamison Gibson-Park ( 18/1 ) was first over the whitewash last year . Dupont gets the vote at generous odds although splitting stakes would n't be the worst policy . France are playing the better rugby of the two sides , which is counterbalanced by the fact that Ireland are at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's ability to turn on the style and make something out of nothing could be the undoing of Ireland , especially if Les Bleus can put width on their game and bypass the green blitz defence . Scoring tries has not been a problem for them and while Ireland will be a much tougher nut to crack , they should be good for a couple . For my prediction of France win to come good , they need to avoid a red card , as it 'll be too big a burden to bear against a power-based side like Ireland . But in an emotionally charged game , we expect there to be cards of some description -- referee Angus Gardner , who celebrates his 50th Test , averaged 16 penalties per game in his two Six Nations outings last year -- and the stats suggest that it 's more than likely he 'll be ushering a French player to the sideline . In each of the last five meetings with Ireland , France have received five yellow cards and a red , and have only managed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those matches . But as long as the colour remains yellow , they could face down one of the biggest challenges in international and come out smiling . Saturday 1645 GMT Dublin Live on BBC Are Scotland three scores better than the layers would have us believe ? Possibly , on their day . But , for me , the handicap line for this match ( Scotland -16 ) is the most skew-whiff of the Championship so far . At the risk of being greedy , I think you could bring that line down by five points and still have a good chance of beating the handicapper . But I think the safer option is probbaly the way to go . When Scotland win a Six Nations match , the margin tends to be in single figures . For all their firepower and attacking intent , Scotland struggle to put a lot of daylight between themselves and their closest rivals . Looking at their last 10 Championship victories , only twice have they won by more than this weekend 's handicap @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and another against Italy in 2021 . Buoyed by their tremendous performance in defeat against reigning champions Ireland , Wales will be going up to Edinburgh believing they can win , not just prevent a blowout . While we think that might be just beyond them , a revived Wales wo n't die wondering and it could be a riotous match with lots of points and tries , as long as the weather holds . I like the look of OVER 52.5 POINTS at odds-against . Caretaker head coach Matt Sherratt has the luxury of picking Wales ' first unchanged starting XV since the pool stages of Rugby World Cup 2019 . With extra training under their belt , they should be able to add another layer or two to their attacking game , which came on leaps and bounds against the Irish and enabled them to lead 13-10 at half-time before succumbing to a 27-18 defeat . Given that Scotland tend to fly out of the blocks , scoring 37% of their points ( 42/115 ) in this year 's Championship in the opening quarter of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ race to 10 points and lead at half-time . But SCOTLAND HALF-TIME/WALES FULL-TIME looks to be decent value at 28/1 ( BetVictor ) and could be worth a casual wager . Others have them as short as 12/1 to mount a comeback win . The layers seem to think that Wales ' performance against Ireland was a flash in the pan , purely an emotional response to a new coach coming on board , and that it wo n't last . But the players have really bought into Sherratt 's messaging and methods , and I can quite easily envisage them doing the jersey proud again this weekend . As for tryscorers , DARCY GRAHAM returns for Scotland and will be eager to make an impression after sitting out the Calcutta Cup defeat with concussion . With three tries in five appearances , including his maiden Test score , Wales are the winger 's favourite opponents , although it has to be said he has only been on the winning side against them once in that time . He 's 6/4 at the time of writing with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if you can but we 'll log 10/11 for the record and look forward to what should be a closer match than the handicap line says .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'make money out of something else' does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Hello from the CBS Arena as Stoke City take on in-form Coventry in the Championship . Mark Robins makes his first return to Coventry since the end of his long spell in charge in November and he needs the points to try to push his new club away from the wrong end of the division . Stoke are tasked with building on a 0-0 home draw with Watford last time out while Lampard has won eight of his last nine to gatecrash the top six . There are only 10 matches left after this one and a table which has been concertinaed all season is suddenly breaking up and dictating who will be biting their nails through the spring . While you 're here , we have launched a new WhatsApp group to deliver the latest Stoke news directly to your phone . Click on this link , select ' Join Chat ' and you 're in .

Robins : " They 've been brilliant , fantastic . I think the sunshine helps . I think the performance always helps . They were great for us today and gave us plenty of backing and positivity even when we were two goals down . They saw what we 'd tried to do in the first part of the game . We could have caused them more problems and we turned it down , we were a bit negative to be fair , and I do n't know why . I do not know why . These are there for the taking , I 've got to say , they 're there for the taking and we could have easily won this game . " Robins : " It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ straight answer really , it 's a case that I have to make the decision for him . He 's said that he was a little bit tight but he 's done not a great deal in training this week . I thought he started the game well , I thought he started really brightly , but as the game went on he 's got some neural problem which is making it feel tight . I think that 's what it is , I do n't know whether he 's done his hamstring again . I do n't think so but I do n't know . That 's a problem he 's had this week leading into the game but he 's getting work from the physios and the physios are giving us a steer on where he 's at physically . " When you speak to Ben he 's reluctant to give you anything positive or anything negative so I have to make the decision ! " Robins : " Right . The start of the game , we were bright , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had a shot on target - but we did n't trouble the goalkeeper really and you 've got to take them . They 're there on offer , go and take them . It puts them on the back foot . " Then their first effort ends up in our goal . It 's too easy . We 've allowed him to jump into our centre-half , who does n't see him coming and allows him to get a head on it and flick it into the far corner . Those are things you ca n't accept . We ca n't accept that as a team . Ca n't . " The second one was even worse because he 's just allowed the space of the penalty area to waltz through unimpeded . Again , that 's unacceptable . " At half-time , you know you 've got people coming back to fitness and the two who came on were those and they made a difference . We spoke at half-time about getting the next goal , which is what you can do . You end up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you can bring it back and kick on . They showed good character . " We got back into the game out of nothing really , a little bit of good play . They were sloppy and we capitalised on it whereas if we had capitalised for the first three chances we had it could have been a different afternoon . From that point on it looked like we could win the game because our tails were up , they had a bit of belief about them . Wouter Burger 's backheel ... I mean it 's a backheel through a group of players , it 's taken a deflection somewhere and ends up as a goal-kick . That was disappointing . " But to allow them to get a cross in , to allow Bobby Thomas to pick up the ball in our penalty area , to allow him to drag it onto his left foot and then not stand in the way of a shot is unforgivable . The three goals we conceded were terrible . That 's where we 're lacking . We make really @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ knock it down to them in midfield . " Those are the things that are costing us in games . We need to realise that . We talk to them about it . It 's where we 're coming up short . " The good thing is , we 're getting players back who can make a difference in games . It 's just how quickly we can get them up to speed and they can get themselves up to speed as well . " Lampard : " Tw-nil is a dangerous scoreline . The reality is if we get the penalty we should have got just before half-time it would have been almost there . But Stoke gave us a game - but we 've got character . " |

In the book Battle of Brothers , royal author and historian Robert Lacey also picked up on the tension at the engagement . He wrote : " Observers also noted that Harry 's face was ' quite tense and unsmiling ' - and that when William sat down close to him , he barely greeted his brother . " Throughout the service , Meghan megawatted away with her best TV smile but , as the ceremony progressed , Harry appeared to grow gloomier . According to one observer , " his accelerated blinking even suggested he might have been fighting back tears . ' " Harry also spoke about the engagement in the Netflix docuseries Harry and Meghan , released in 2022 . He said : " I felt really distant from the rest of my family , which was interesting because so much of how they operate is about what it looks like , rather than what it feels like .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'get out of' which is a phrasal verb and does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee. Additionally, it does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

In the book Battle of Brothers , royal author and historian Robert Lacey also picked up on the tension at the engagement . He wrote : " Observers also noted that Harry 's face was ' quite tense and unsmiling ' - and that when William sat down close to him , he barely greeted his brother . " Throughout the service , Meghan megawatted away with her best TV smile but , as the ceremony progressed , Harry appeared to grow gloomier . According to one observer , " his accelerated blinking even suggested he might have been fighting back tears . ' " Harry also spoke about the engagement in the Netflix docuseries Harry and Meghan , released in 2022 . He said : " I felt really distant from the rest of my family , which was interesting because so much of how they operate is about what it looks like , rather than what it feels like .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It involves the verb 'get' with an NP object 'a big thrill' and the phrase 'out of going to Chihuahua on a Sunday' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

A person walks near the Atlantic Hub container terminal in Halifax , Canada . President Donald Trump has threatened to impose new tariffs on the country 's goods , despite somewhat of a delay on the 25% virtually across-the-board tariff on the country 's goods . Darren Calabrese/The Canadian Press/AP New YorkCNN -- President Donald Trump did not totally reverse the 25% tariffs he enacted earlier this month on just about every Mexican and Canadian good shipped to the United States . Although he announced a tariff delay on Thursday through April 2 , that was far from a complete pause . The devil is in one big detail : To avoid tariffs during the delay , goods coming from Mexico and Canada must comply with the USMCA free trade treaty that Trump signed during his first term . As it stands , only around 50% of the goods the US imports from Mexico and 38% of the goods from Canada comply with USMCA terms , a senior administration official said on a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Canadian energy imports and potash , a key component in fertilizer , goods coming from the two countries that do n't comply with USMCA could still face 25% tariffs , or higher . But trade is extraordinarily complicated , with various products sometimes receiving different duties depending on weight , content or other defining characteristics . Without much time to adapt before Trump 's policy officially kicks in April 2 -- unless it 's delayed again -- it 's unclear even to experts and government officials what products are getting taxed at what amounts . Dan Gardner , president of Trade Facilitators , Inc. , a Los Angeles-based consulting firm specializing in global logistics as well as US trade compliance , was left puzzled by the administration 's action . Part of the reason why so many goods are n't considered USMCA compliant is because , until recently , a slew of Canadian and Mexican goods , including computers , phones and petroleum , were n't subject to any US tariffs . The USMCA established a free trade zone in North @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the United States , Mexico and Canada . But it did n't make sense for companies to go the extra mile to ensure compliance with the treaty if their products did n't have a tariff before the USMCA and predecessor NAFTA treaties . So for decades , duty-free meant duty-free irrespective of compliance . That is until Trump slapped 25% across-the-board tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods . Another reason for the lack of treaty compliance : Products technically may be compliant but are n't being declared because the " ordinary duty rate has been very small or zero , " said Andrew McAllister , an attorney at Holland and Knight leading the group 's international trade division . Saving such a small amount of money might not be worth the complications involved in being declared compliant , which involves complicated paper work and can cost companies thousands of dollars . And , prior to Trump 's tariffs , many goods could avoid tariffs anyway as long as 60% of the value of the materials that go into them comes from North America . Now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kinds of products receive a tariff and which do n't -- even if they 're extremely similar . For example , textiles used to make apparel from Canada and Mexico must " contain sewing thread , pocketing fabric , narrow elastic bands and coated fabric " made in North America to come to the US duty-free under the USMCA , according to a post published on the US Customs and Border Patrol site . Trucks queue near the Mexico-US border while waiting for the port to open at the Otay Commercial crossing in Tijuana , Mexico , on March 4 , 2025 . Guillermo Arias/AFP/Getty Images With the possibility of a 25% tariff , businesses could be more careful about making sure they comply . At the same time , all the extra due diligence might not matter with so few answers available on whether previously noncompliant USMCA imports would face a 25% tariff or not . An administration official on a call with reporters last week referred the press to the US Trade Representative for further questions . However , the USTR declined to comment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CBP directed CNN to a statement published Saturday , which stated that the agency is " fully equipped to implement " the latest executive actions on tariffs . At the same time , a spokesperson told CNN they are " still looking into " whether goods that previously were n't subject to any tariffs and therefore did n't file USMCA-related paperwork could claim an exemption now . A White House spokesperson did not respond to CNN 's inquiry . Tony Rivera , a global trade attorney at ArentFox Schiff , believes that all companies will have the opportunity to claim the USMCA tariff exemption . However , given how laborious it is to be declared compliant , there might not be enough time to qualify and ship their goods before April 2 . Gardner , who is also a licensed customs broker , traveled to Chihuahua , Mexico over the weekend in part to help one of his clients , who makes industrial steel parts , source more of their inputs locally to meet regional value content requirements , such as the 60% threshold . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ensuring his clients goods will meet the USMCA requirements , which also include paying workers $16 an hour on the books and abiding by a slew of intellectual property rules . Still , he said , it underscores how complex the whole process is . " I do n't get a big thrill out of going to Chihuahua on a Sunday , " he said . Most stock quote data provided by BATS .

The sentence does not involve the transitive out of -ing construction. It mentions 'opt out of receiving unsolicited sales and marketing calls', which is a different construction where 'opt out of' is followed by a gerund phrase, but it does not fit the structural pattern or interpretations of the transitive out of -ing construction as defined. The NP subject and object relationship, as well as the causative semantics, are not present here.

This early dementia sign can appear while on the phone . ( Image : Getty Images ) Dementia is a syndrome that many people fear they will develop as they age . Therefore , it is important to lookout for symptoms in yourself or those around you that could help lead to early detection . A neurologist has recently taken to social media to inform his followers of an early warning sign of dementia that he deems is ' easily missed ' . This symptom will normally appear when a person is talking on the phone . ? Article continues below Dementia is commonly known as a group of symptoms that are associated with the ongoing decline of a person 's brain . It can lead to issues with memory , behavioural changes and mobility issues , with it most commonly occurring in people over the age of 65 , reports the Express . As @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more likely have a better outcome the quicker you spot the symptoms of dementia and undergo treatment and support . However , there are early signs that may not be the most obvious to detect , especially when they can be brushed aside as an everyday thing . Neurologist Doctor Baibing Chen , otherwise known as Dr Bing on social media , has taken to TikTok to highlight three signs of dementia that people most likely wo n't notice straight away . One of which can manifest while someone is on the phone . Dr Bing first warns that people with dementia may show poor judgement or decision making , which could potentially lead them to giving away money over the phone . He explained : " This is n't about forgetting something , it 's about making choices that seem out of character or very risky such as giving away large amounts of money to telemarketers or making impulsive unnecessary purchases . ? " They might also dress inappropriately for the weather or forget basic hygiene , skipping showers or wearing the same clothes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ happen because dementia affects the brain 's ability to process information and make appropriate decisions . " Content can not be displayed without consent He finishes the video by pleading : " So , if you notice any of these signs in a loved one , please do n't ignore them . " ? Dementia UK backs up Dr Bing 's advice , as they state that dementia patients are " more vulnerable " to phone scams . This is due to a variety of symptoms such as changes in judgement , difficulties in decision making , increased confusion , problems with communication and understanding , as well as problems with managing money . As well as being more susceptible to phone scams , Dr Bing shared that changes in personality and mood are also early warning signs of dementia to be on the lookout for . He explains : " We tend to think of dementia as a memory problem but it often affects emotions and behaviours first . " Banks will never contact you by phone . If someone claims to be calling from your bank , tell them you are going to hang up . You can then call the bank yourself to check . The phone number for your bank is on the back of most debit cards . You can also make a guaranteed secure call to all banks by dialling 159 Beware of calls from unrecognised numbers , particularly if it has an unfamiliar code or a different format from UK phone numbers Talk to your telephone provider about ways to reduce nuisance calls , such as blocking certain types of phone number Consider registering with the Telephone Preference Service ( TPS ) , which allows you to opt out of receiving unsolicited sales and marketing calls If you are unsure that a call is genuine , stop , hang up and ask someone you trust before doing anything .

The sentence does not involve the transitive out of -ing construction. It mentions 'opt out of receiving unsolicited sales and marketing calls', which is a different construction where 'opt out of' is followed by a gerund phrase, but it does not fit the structural pattern or interpretations of the transitive out of -ing construction as defined. The NP subject and object relationship, as well as the causative semantics, are not present here.

This early dementia sign can appear while on the phone . ( Image : Getty Images ) Dementia is a syndrome that many people fear they will develop as they age . Therefore , it is important to lookout for symptoms in yourself or those around you that could help lead to early detection . A neurologist has recently taken to social media to inform his followers of an early warning sign of dementia that he deems is ' easily missed ' . This symptom will normally appear when a person is talking on the phone . ? Article continues below Dementia is commonly known as a group of symptoms that are associated with the ongoing decline of a person 's brain . It can lead to issues with memory , behavioural changes and mobility issues , with it most commonly occurring in people over the age of 65 , reports the Express . As @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more likely have a better outcome the quicker you spot the symptoms of dementia and undergo treatment and support . However , there are early signs that may not be the most obvious to detect , especially when they can be brushed aside as an everyday thing . Neurologist Doctor Baibing Chen , otherwise known as Dr Bing on social media , has taken to TikTok to highlight three signs of dementia that people most likely wo n't notice straight away . One of which can manifest while someone is on the phone . Dr Bing first warns that people with dementia may show poor judgement or decision making , which could potentially lead them to giving away money over the phone . He explained : " This is n't about forgetting something , it 's about making choices that seem out of character or very risky such as giving away large amounts of money to telemarketers or making impulsive unnecessary purchases . ? " They might also dress inappropriately for the weather or forget basic hygiene , skipping showers or wearing the same clothes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ happen because dementia affects the brain 's ability to process information and make appropriate decisions . " Content can not be displayed without consent He finishes the video by pleading : " So , if you notice any of these signs in a loved one , please do n't ignore them . " ? Dementia UK backs up Dr Bing 's advice , as they state that dementia patients are " more vulnerable " to phone scams . This is due to a variety of symptoms such as changes in judgement , difficulties in decision making , increased confusion , problems with communication and understanding , as well as problems with managing money . As well as being more susceptible to phone scams , Dr Bing shared that changes in personality and mood are also early warning signs of dementia to be on the lookout for . He explains : " We tend to think of dementia as a memory problem but it often affects emotions and behaviours first . " Banks will never contact you by phone . If someone claims to be calling from your bank , tell them you are going to hang up . You can then call the bank yourself to check . The phone number for your bank is on the back of most debit cards . You can also make a guaranteed secure call to all banks by dialling 159 Beware of calls from unrecognised numbers , particularly if it has an unfamiliar code or a different format from UK phone numbers Talk to your telephone provider about ways to reduce nuisance calls , such as blocking certain types of phone number Consider registering with the Telephone Preference Service ( TPS ) , which allows you to opt out of receiving unsolicited sales and marketing calls If you are unsure that a call is genuine , stop , hang up and ask someone you trust before doing anything .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate, and it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'out of nothing' as a fixed phrase indicating creation from minimal resources, which is unrelated to the transitive out of -ing construction.

Here we go again . After two full days with no Bristol City action following Saturday afternoon 's draw with Hull City at Ashton Gate , the Robins are set to take to the field again . This time against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane . Liam Manning 's side came from behind to draw 1-1 with the 10-man Tigers thanks to a second-half penalty from Anis Mehmeti . While the point ensured the Reds remained within touching points of the play-off places , the majority of supporters left Ashton Gate with a feeling of frustration as City were unable to make use of their one-man advantage . Fortunately , the chaos of the Championship means Manning 's side have a chance to put that right this evening . On paper , the Robins come into this one as underdogs . Chris Wilder 's Blades have won all but one of their last seven outings in the second tier and come into Tuesday night 's game off the back of consecutive victories against QPR and Preston North @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ move level with table-toppers Leeds United , with only goal difference keeping Daniel Farke 's side ahead in the race for promotion . Given the quick turnaround , Manning is set to have pretty much the same squad of players to pick from as he did against the Tigers , with one potential exception . Chris Hogg has confirmed City are " hopeful " that Nahki Wells will be fit and ready to return to the fold having missed the trip to Millwall and the draw with Ruben Selles ' side . Hopefully , the Bermudian international will provide a welcome boost ahead of the Robins ' penultimate game before the March international break . A win at Bramall Lane could , again , be enough for Manning 's side to climb into the play-off places . With all that in mind , here 's how we think City will line-up against Sheffield United in the Steel City this evening ... Max O'Leary wo n't have had many quieter afternoons between the Bristol City posts than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's opener and red card , the City stopper had very little to do and on the rare occasions he was needed , he intervened well . He will almost certainly start his 37th Championship match of the campaign at Bramall Lane . Ahead of him , it is hard to see Liam Manning straying too far away from the back three that started against the Tigers , partly because of their good form in recent weeks but primarily because there is n't an awful lot of defensive depth to pick from at this moment in time . On Dickie 's right , our expectation is that George Tanner will continue as the right-sided centre-back . The former Manchester United man has been solid since taking on that role in the absence of Luke McNally , even if he does n't always offer an awful lot in possession . Against a Sheffield United side chasing promotion , his ability off of the ball is likely going to be a lot more important than his quality on it . Tonight 's trip to Bramall Lane is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with Norwich City set to visit Ashton Gate in just a couple of days time , Chris Hogg has admitted the Reds will need to carefully manage their players ' minutes in these next two matches . As a result , our bet is that Haydon Roberts will replace Cam Pring at left-wing back . Pring has been typically impressive since returning from injury , but the fact that he repeatedly cramped up in the win over Millwall and played 60 minutes against Hull at the weekend would mean that it would be an unnecessary risk to make him start a third consecutive game in such a short space of time . City have decided to take that gamble with Ross McCrorie at Cardiff City and it ultimately backfired . Roberts may not be every supporter 's cup of tea , however , he has been a regular starter whenever Pring has been unavailable this season and the former Brighton man will allow the Reds to roll into a back four as and when required . On the opposite flank , we think Mark Sykes will keep @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Gate turf without a goal or assist to his name against the Tigers , he was City 's best-attacking outlet on Saturday afternoon as he repeatedly got to the byline and threatened with some dangerous balls into the box . With McCrorie still a few weeks away from returning it is hard to see anyone other than Sykes starting on the right . Between the two wing-backs , our bet is that Manning will stick with the midfield pairing of Jason Knight and Max Bird who have impressed in recent weeks . Neither player had their best game against Hull , but they did what they could to try and force a winner against an incredibly low block . It would n't be a total surprise if Joe Williams was recalled to add a bit more bite and if he does start , it will likely be in place of Bird . It is possible that all three midfielders could feature from the off , with Bird pushed into one of the two attacking midfield roles . Liam Manning has never been someone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has been evident throughout his time at Bristol City so far . As a result , we think he might stand by the attacking midfield duo that secured all three points in the Reds ' last away win against Millwall last week . Regardless of who lines up alongside him , it is almost a certainty that Scott Twine will continue as one of the number 10s . The former Burnley man came the closest to finding that much-needed winner at the weekend and although he was n't able to find the net against his former side , he remains the main player in this squad who can create something out of nothing . Join Bristol City Live 's Whatsapp community for all the biggest Bristol City stories sent straight to your phone Next to Twine , it feels like a toss-up between Anis Mehmeti and George Earthy . While Mehmeti did get on the scoresheet against Hull , he was fairly quiet over the course of the game as a whole . That partnered with the fact he has n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ road as he has done at Ashton Gate this season , leads us to believe it will be Earthy who gets the nod . The West Ham loanee gives the Reds a bit more out of possession than his Albanian counterpart as well which could be important against the Blades . Ahead of the two number 10s , our bet is that Sinclair Armstrong will lead the line for the sixth game in a row . Yes , the Ireland youth international should have scored against Hull at the weekend and needs to add more goals to his game , but against a strong Sheffield United squad , his skillset could be crucial . On the face of it , the Robins are n't likely to dominate possession against one of the Championship 's best sides . As a result , they need a forward at the top end of the pitch who can stretch the game and carry a threat on the counter-attack . Whatever your thoughts on Armstrong , the former QPR could n't be more fitting of that brief . Hopefully , Nahki Wells @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kept him out of the last two matches to offer an alternative option on the bench . With a quick turnaround before Friday evening 's clash with Norwich , it would n't be a surprise to see the two strikers split the workload against the Blades before reversing roles against the Canaries . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It mentions 'opt out of receiving unsolicited sales and marketing calls', which involves an NP as a complement of the complex preposition 'out of' (receiving unsolicited sales and marketing calls), but it does not introduce a VP[-ing] in the context of the transitive out of -ing construction. Additionally, there is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the sentence does not give rise to either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

A neurologist has issued a warning about an early sign of dementia that can appear while someone is on the phone . This symptom could be easily missed , he said . Dementia , a syndrome characterised by a progressive decline in brain function , is most prevalent in individuals over 65 and can result in memory problems , behavioural changes , and even mobility issues . Early detection of dementia symptoms can lead to timely treatment and support , but some signs may not be immediately apparent . Dr Baibing Chen , a neurologist known online as Dr Bing , used the social media platform TikTok to shed more light on this . He shared a video outlining three often-overlooked signs of dementia . " Here are three signs of dementia that people often miss , " he said . One such symptom can emerge while a person is on the phone .

" And these changes all happen because dementia affects the brain 's ability to process information and make appropriate decisions . So , if you notice any of these signs in a loved one , please do n't ignore them .

His wife is heading back to France , but Hull KR 's Michael McIlorum is definitely sticking around with the Super League leaders . The veteran ex-England hooker made the surprise decision to leave Catalans and join the Robins in 2025 . It was a shock move because the combative No. 9 had spent seven years in Perpignan fully immersing himself in the French way of life . Leeds-born McIlorum now speaks fluent French , was lined up for a coaching job with the Dragons once his decorated playing career finished -- and has often spoken of retiring in the region he adores so much . But after talks broke down over a new deal , last season 's Grand Finalists Rovers nipped in with a 12-month contract . And former Wigan star McIllorum , 37 , has helped Willie Peters ' side win all four Super League games so far - their greatest start to a season since 1985 . He has linked up again with his best mate Tyrone May , while winger @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ McIlorum admitted : " It 's good to be back playing with Tyrone and Tom Davies . We had a good connection in the south of France and ended up back here together . " It 's nice to have started well , but it 's only round four . Some people get excited about good starts . It 's how you finish that matters . We want to be up in that top two . " Was stand-off May , who played in the 2023 Grand Final with Catalans alongside McIlorum before moving to the Robins last year , into him about moving ? He said : " Leaving the south of France for Hull is not an easy sell -- it does n't matter who 's speaking to you ! But yes , he was into me a little . I spoke to Willie Peters , and he 's good friends with Mitchell Pearce , who we 're good friends with . " He told me he Peters was a good guy and a good coach . I decided I wanted to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : " I will be going straight back after the season .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('pay your way out of taking one'). It involves a prevention interpretation, where the action of paying is preventing the necessity of taking the test. The verb 'pay' fits into the category of means to achieve a goal (by means of enticing, flattering, or verbal persuasion). The NP object 'your way' is a possessive way NP object, which is an atypical but acceptable form in this construction, coreferential with the implied subject. Therefore, it is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'scratching a living out of cleaning ambulances' does not involve a V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate structure. Instead, 'cleaning' is part of a noun phrase describing the activity from which the subject is making a living, not a VP2[-ing] predicate with a causee. Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

Amid a massive drop in global support , Israel and its supporters are in a panic , working overtime to hide the evidence of its crimes Demonstrators raise Palestinian flags in the southern district of Hebron , in the occupied West Bank , on 10 June 2022 ( Ahmad Gharabli/AFP ) In the whole row over the BBC documentary Gaza : How to Survive a Warzone , not one word was written about what this film told us about the way Palestinians are surviving a war that has spanned a year and a half . None of the following voices appear to have been heard in the controversy over screening this film . A woman fleeing with an empty water bottle , after another Israeli evacuation order , shouted to no one in particular : " God damn you all . May God curse you Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar . " A boy told the camera in a deadpan tone : " We saw @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guts coming out of his stomach . Are we in a safe place ? " Zakaria , an 11-year-old hustler scratching a living out of cleaning ambulances at al-Aqsa Hospital , explained how he worked alongside members of the media , doctors and paramedics : " I love being a volunteer . I want to volunteer for an ambulance unit . " A paramedic , who wore headphones as a way of shutting out the hell around him , reflected : " I need to wash this shirt . Children are so pure and innocent . Seeing them injured is one of the hardest things to witness . Headphones are the most important thing . They help me escape the war , the hospital 's gloom , the bombings , the dead , the injured . " Mohammed Tahir , an orthopaedic and peripheral nerve surgeon from London , held up an arm he had just amputated from a 10-year-old @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the children of Gaza , " he said . " This is what it comes to . There is no power or strength except by Allah . " But this , naturally , is the whole purpose of cancelling a documentary as damaging to Israel as this one . It is to cancel not just the documentary , but any means by which Palestinians can express the extraordinary brutality they are enduring at the hands of a nation whose raison d'etre is victimhood - victims of centuries of European antisemitism , of the Holocaust , of the Hamas attack on 7 October 2023 . The furore has focused like a laser on Abdullah al-Yazuri , the 13-year-old narrator who has committed , in the eyes of Israel 's propaganda industry , three capital offences : first and foremost , he is alive . More than 14,500 children are not . His second offence is to speak English fluently and thus be credible to a western audience . This is a monopoly held by supporters of Israel , and it is keenly guarded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and non-political . He is the one who delivers statements from the Israeli army after each civilian massacre its soldiers commit . The only line of editorial Abdullah delivers is hard for anyone outside of Gaza to disagree with : " Have you ever wondered what you 'd do if your world was destroyed ? " Salvation , and the end of the nightmare of having credible Palestinian voices from Gaza on prime BBC television , came in the information that Abdullah 's father was deputy agriculture minister in the government run by Hamas . The BBC folded like a pack of cards . When this conflict is finally over and Palestinians have the state they so richly deserve , this period will be looked back on as Israel 's , and the western liberal media 's , darkest hour But as Middle East Eye revealed last month , Yazuri has a scientific rather than political background . He previously worked for the UAE 's education ministry - which is no lover or employer of anyone linked to the Muslim Brotherhood - and he got @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government is formed in Gaza after this war , it will be run by technocrats like Yazuri . To the Israeli military , anyone who works in Gaza - whether technocrat , professor , medic , journalist or aid distributor - is a target . Its soldiers have killed these professionals deliberately . A vast amount of evidence exists to this effect . But to the international community , which includes Britain , technocrats like Yazuri are the only solution to the postwar governance of Gaza . And neither the BBC nor Channel 4 , if they are true to their public service charters , are supposed to base their editorial judgements on the propaganda and false news emanating from Israeli military intelligence . Neither broadcaster subscribes to the view that all Palestinians in Gaza are guilty and should be exterminated , which is now a mainstream view in Israel . Both services should be capable of distinguishing between a government worker and a member of Hamas , or indeed a member of its armed wing , al-Qassam Brigades , proscribed as a terrorist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 4 also interviewed Abdullah . " Channel 4 News ' experienced foreign reporting team became aware his father held a technocratic role within the Hamas government in Summer 2024 and they took a decision not to feature him again , " the broadcaster noted in a statement this month . " Once Channel 4 News ' senior leadership team recently became aware , action was taken to provide additional context to the archived online copy of the reports in which Abdullah features . " This , too , treats Abdullah and his father like a bad smell . But neither has done anything wrong . Nor is there any evidence that Hamas coloured or influenced the BBC documentary , whose script was written in London . If Hamas had had anything to do with it , the following would certainly not have appeared : " They have killed our children , killed our women , while Sinwar is hiding under the ground . " We do not know the father 's views about Hamas , but let us assume he supports their aims . Does @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ meant to represent the Palestinian narrative , particularly as the Israeli one is so fully and repeatedly expressed every day ? It is a well-known fact in Palestinian society that children do not blindly follow the political beliefs of their parents . It is common to find sons in Fatah and fathers in Hamas . The brother of Fatah leader Jibril Rajoub , Nayef Rajoub , is prominent in Hamas . The son of prominent Hamas leader Hassan Yousef , Mosab Yousef , is celebrated by the Israelis for having turned on the movement , and is quoted freely . To claim that a son is compromised by the work of his father is absurd . Both the BBC and Channel 4 have a public service duty to be impartial in all their editorial output . This means applying the same editorial standards to Israelis and Palestinians . But they patently do not . On the first anniversary of the 7 October Hamas attack , the BBC ran a documentary on the testimonies of the survivors of the Nova music festival @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But no one would have dared to impugn the credibility of the witness they bore by referring to what their families and fathers did . None of the male witnesses who were of military age were questioned about what they did as soldiers . Progressive except for Palestine : Berlinale 2025 and the politics of omission Instead , this was said : " Around 3,500 partygoers went to the Universo Paralello - Nova Music Festival . 364 were murdered , and 44 others taken hostage . " The word " murdered " is wholly justified as a description of what happened on 7 October to unarmed civilians attending a rock festival , but the documentary on Gaza says only that more than 46,800 Palestinians in Gaza had " died " . Patently different standards were being applied , not least the fact that Gaza : How to Survive a Warzone survived only four days on air before it was pulled . Let us be clear about what is taking place here . Israel 's prosecution of a war that regularly , openly and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aid , electricity and water to Gaza to pressure Hamas into releasing all the hostages - would be impossible without the silence of the mainstream media . It buys this silence by courting and grooming over decades significant numbers of editorial staff , in the expectation that one or two will end up in key positions of editorial control . It does the same to all rising political stars in every major political party . And it intimidates them whenever the Palestinian voice breaks out of its collective gag . On the rare occasion when that happens , the Palestinian voice is as eloquent , measured and righteous as any other oppressed people throughout history . I have reported from Masafer Yatta , the collection of hamlets in the South Hebron Hills in the occupied West Bank , which the Israeli army declared a firing range , like many others , when the story of the continual eviction of Palestinians failed to get global attention . In Masafer Yatta , villagers are being pushed into caves as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ documentary like No Other Land , produced by a team that included Palestinian filmmaker Basel Adra and Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham , to get that attention for this village . Their film won an award at the Berlin film festival and latterly an Oscar . This testament to the quiet , peaceful determination of around 1,000 Palestinians ( half of whom are children ) in eight villages to stay on their land took years to come to light . Filming began in 2019 . Women confront soldiers . Schoolchildren are in class when a bulldozer attacks the side of their shack , forcing them to jump through windows to escape . A Palestinian woman asks a soldier whether he is ashamed to be demolishing her home . He replies : " That 's the law . Why should I be ashamed ? " Another villager is asked why she does n't leave . " We have no other land , " she replies . The film was recorded before the Hamas attack of October 2023 . All the violence shown in it is done by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have nothing but words and their moral right to be on their land to confront the ceaseless expansion of the Israeli state in the occupied West Bank . What Israel is doing is against all international law . And yet , when this film won one of the major awards at the Berlinale , it caused a major political storm in Germany . Germany 's minister of state for culture , Claudia Roth , justified her clapping for the filmmaking duo who accepted the award by saying she was clapping only for the Israeli , not for the Palestinian . Her racist admission spiralled into a PR catastrophe . For Germany 's political class , supporting Israel 's genocide is naked self-interest Abraham ended his acceptance speech with a call for a ceasefire in Gaza , and for a " political solution to end the occupation " - nothing more . Berlin Mayor Kai Wegner described the speeches at the Berlinale closing ceremony as an " intolerable relativisation " , writing on X : " The full responsibility for the deep @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " A delegate for the Christian Democratic Union called on Roth to resign , while a Free Democratic Party politician suggested that the film festival should no longer receive state funding . The festival 's outgoing Italian curator , Carlo Chatrian , criticised the German political establishment for " weaponising " antisemitic rhetoric for political gains . This year 's Berlinale has faced a widespread call for boycott for both its silence over Gaza and its handling of the backlash against No Other Land . The good news is that Israel 's propaganda is not working . Public opinion in all the western nations whose media and festivals practise this censorship is turning rapidly against Israel and towards the Palestinians . Where were you , and what did you do when Gaza and the occupied West Bank were being pounded into dust , a future generation will ask its parents The trend is sharpest in the US , where 59 percent of Democrats sympathise with the Palestinian people - a 16-point jump in the last year - while only 21 percent sympathise with Israel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a whole , the percentage of Americans who sympathise with Palestinians is up six points from last year to 33 percent , whereas support for Israel is at its lowest in 24 years . Only 46 percent of Americans polled said their sympathies lay with Israel . This shift in public support is unprecedented in all the decades of this conflict . It 's no wonder that Israel and its army of supporters are panicking ; they are on the wrong side of history . When this conflict is finally over and Palestinians have the state they so richly deserve , this period will be looked back on as Israel 's , and the western liberal media 's , darkest hour .

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

As many of us embark on our spring cleaning , it seems shoppers are swapping out their old hoovers for a ' fantastic ' model from Amazon .

This brings the price down to a very reasonable ? 125.34 - and it 's causing some customers to abandon their trusty Henry vacuum . The U12 boasts a powerful 45000Pa suction , perfect for capturing dust and tackling dirt and pet hair . The U12 Vesla comes with four suction modes and a healthy battery life of 50 minutes . Its LED display screen provides a handy battery level indicator , and the battery itself is detachable , allowing for easy replacement when it starts to fade .

The Ultenic U12 has customers ditching their old vacuums for this lightweight model ( Image : Amazon ) According to reviewers , it is compatible with Dyson attachments , although we 'd advise against this . It 's been so impressive that folks have been swapping their old hoovers for the U12 . One customer shared : " After having Henry vacuum for 10 years , it was getting too heavy for me to lift about and upstairs . After a lot of research , I decided on this make and model .

The power of the vacuum is excellent , and the automatic turbo mode that kicks in when it detects a blockage is a clever and useful touch .

Alberto Angela has made a career out of exploring his hometown . Here are his favourite spots to unearth Rome 's millennia of secrets , from the Vatican Museums to Ostia Antica . From the 1st-Century BCE ruins of the Imperial Forum to the Trevi Fountain 's Baroque splendour , Rome packs such an overwhelming myriad of postcard-worthy landmarks that digging through its historical layers can make any visitor feel like they 've turned into an archaeologist . Alberto Angela , a TV presenter , global ambassador for Italian heritage , art , history and culture , and a familiar face in Italian living rooms for nearly four decades knows a thing or two about his hometown 's 2,000 years of history -- and he 's ready to help visitors discover it , especially as this year 's Jubilee newly puts it into the limelight . The SpeciaList Alberto Angela is an Italian palaeontologist and TV presenter raised and based in Rome . A well-recognised public scholar , he has published books and conducted documentaries for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ topics for the past 36 years . " Rome has two faces , " says Angela . " The Papal -- that of the rich -- and its working-class soul , the one that is closest to us ... the most interesting , " he says . In a city where grand basilicas lie next to shady alleyways , Angela recommends exploring without cramming in too many sights -- so that one can " immerse oneself in the world of the ancients " . Having followed in the footsteps of his famous father , Piero Angela -- Italy 's most well-known documentarist often called a " national treasure " -- the younger Angela attributes his career and love of history to growing up in the Italian capital . " You breathe history here , " he says . " Anyone who comes to Rome can see the same afterglow Caesar would have seen . You are n't in a place that does n't exist anymore . Rome was rebuilt on top of its ancient structures . " For Angela , this is what makes Rome @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ history , unlike many others , " he says . " Living here , you understand the ancients . " Emerging from a small market settlement on the Tiber , the city of Rome was at an intersection between the Mediterranean and mainland Europe , making it a crossroads that swelled into the world 's first true metropolis . Angela believes that the city 's immense global-reaching political and symbolic impact throughout history means everyone has a " piece " of Rome inside them -- which is why it can have such a profound impact on those who visit it . Here are Angela 's favourite ways to experience ancient history in modern Rome . Alamy The Palatine Hill is the mythological birthplace of Rome , and home to countless testaments to its history ( Credit : Alamy ) Much of central Rome 's labyrinthine urban grid is a direct heir of the former imperial capital , with public spaces like the Baroque Piazza Navona or Campo de ' Fiori piazza taking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Tip : Trying to cram in all of Rome 's main landmarks in a few days is an Olympian feat , so Angela recommends first-time visitors follow a three-day rule . " See the major sights on the first and second days -- Saint Peter 's , the Pantheon , the Colosseum , " he says . " And then on the third day , choose yourself , to see something cool off the beaten path . When you get home , you 'll feel you 'll have seen the things everyone talks about , but you 'll also have seen something you yourself like . " But on the Palatine Hill , the mythical birthplace of Rome , you can actually walk on the same stones where emperors Augustus and Nero once dwelled . " It 's the place where the Caesars lived and died , " Angela says . As the legend goes , twin brothers Romulus and Remus received an omen from the gods and decided to lay the foundations of a new city on the Palatine Hill in 753 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into an exclusive neighbourhood of patrician villas and Imperial palaces -- indeed , it 's where the word " palace " takes its root . One of the legendary seven hills of the ancient city , offering an incomparable vantage point with a 360 panorama , Palatine Hill offers what Angela describes as " a beautiful walk " , with arguably the best views of the Colosseum -- the unmistakable " star of ancient Rome " . Visiting the Palatine is a full immersion into the life of the Roman empire , with a plethora of impressive ruins , including the mosaic floors of Augustus 's palace , Domitian 's hippodrome and the balcony overlooking the Circus Maximus racecourse . Visitors to the Vatican rarely venture to the site 's Necropolis ( Credit : Alamy ) As the centre of Catholicism and one of the most important sites in Christendom , the Unesco-listed Vatican is firmly entrenched among Rome 's unmissable sights . In honour of the 2025 Jubilee , tourists and pilgrims alike are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Holy Door , opened for the occasion every quarter of a century . But while much of the Holy See 's architectural majesty is immediately apparent -- from the Michelangelo- and Giacomo della Porta-designed designed dome of Saint Peter 's all the way to the Sistine Chapel and Vatican Museums -- some of its greatest treasures are hidden underground . " Once in Saint Peter 's , you walk on beautiful marble floorings , you look up to the Baldachin , " says Angela , renowned for his 2015 TV miniseries Alla Scoperta dei Musei Vaticani ( Discovering the Vatican Museums ) . " But you can go underground . The Popes ' tombs can be found underneath , but under those is the ancient Roman graveyard where Peter the Apostle himself was buried . The foundations of the Basilica are a graveyard . " The Vatican Necropolis , excavated only in the 1940s , features mausoleums belonging to citizens of many faiths , as well as a cluster of tombs called " Field P " , suspected by some scholars to hold the burial chamber of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trip into ancient Rome that you would n't expect to find there " , Angela says . " It makes you understand how Rome really is . " Visitors must book visits to the Necropolis on the official website of Saint Peter 's Basilica . The dress code mandates covered shoulders and below-the-knee clothing . The Basilica of San Clemente al Laterano has witnessed nearly all of Rome 's historical eras ( Credit : Alamy ) Rome has more than 900 Catholic sites of worship built over the course of the centuries . Now and then , there 's one that best encapsulates the city 's multi-millennial history , like Angela 's pick , the Basilica of San Clemente . " This Basilica conceals the three souls of Rome -- Baroque , medieval and ancient , " Angela says . " Anyone who comes across it is enchanted .

The temple eventually swelled into its grand current form , featuring an intricate overlay of architectural styles -- from its Renaissance courtyard and the Mannerist facade of the main Basilica , all the way to its underground , early medieval second structure , which hides ancient Roman remnants . " The exterior is beautiful and well-maintained , from the 16th Century , with a Cosmatesque geometric marble flooring , and then you take the stairs and arrive at the medieval Basilica , " says Angela . " And you find yourself right in ancient Rome , in a Roman temple . " From 17th-Century Villa Borghese to the Capitoline , the city 's oldest art gallery , Rome has no shortage of museums displaying a vast array of artefacts -- matched by equally colossal crowds of spectators . Conveniently located a mere five-minute walk from the Termini train station , the museum is found inside the Baths @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ survived in remarkable condition . It is also home to a curious collection of esoteric Roman artefacts , showing how the ancients dabbled in the occult . " It 's a museum dedicated to how Romans expressed themselves , " Angela says . " But there 's a part dedicated to magic , voodoo of sorts . " Superstition was the unspoken crux of ancient Roman life , but one that we often overlook . " It 's a world that often gets left behind , that of spiritual beliefs , " he adds . " They found the objects in a parking lot . " Among the objects on display is a large copper cauldron , curse tablets ( defixiones ) , ritual tools and even Christian spells . " For someone coming from the station , especially if it rains , it 's quite an intriguing thing to visit , " says Angela . The 16th to 18th Centuries were a crucial time for Rome 's urban development , as the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Doria and Pamphilj -- vied for social dominance through commissioning lavish building projects , all designed in the Baroque style favoured by the Papal Counter-Reformation . " I 'd advise anyone coming to visit Rome to see the palaces of the powerful Roman families , " says Angela . While listing a few examples -- Palazzo Colonna and Palazzo Farnese among them -- few rival the opulence of the Palazzo Doria Pamphilj , Rome 's very own " Versailles " , in Angela 's words . The product of an alliance of noble families , what resulted was a Baroque fantasy come to life and an impressive art collection featuring the works of many of Italy 's greats , from Titian to Raphael . Its crown jewel is its Hall of Mirrors , commissioned by Gabriele Valvassori in the 1730s and featuring whimsical frescos , gilded Venetian frescos and ornate gold-plated furniture . Many visitors coming to Rome do n't know that the city has what Angela considers its very own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ostia Antica . Once Rome 's sea port , potentially from as early as the 7th Century BCE , Ostia Antica developed into a bustling seaside suburb , reaching a peak of 75,000 inhabitants in the late Imperial age . While the city declined after the empire 's fall , and the coastline ended up advancing by 3.2km , much of the ancient town that once stood there has been preserved . " You lose yourself there , you can see everything , " Angela says . " Bakeries , public bathrooms ( latrines ) , homes , apartment blocks ... street businesses , not too dissimilar to those of today . " A tour of Ostia Antica can show you much of the amenities and features of ancient Roman life -- from its 1st-Century BCE theatre , to its forum , public baths and necropolis . For Angela , Ostia Antica best preserves the " popolare " ( working-class ) soul of ancient Rome -- one which its newer counterpart , the beach suburb Lido di Ostia , has carried on in modern form . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rome , and can be reached in around the same time by taking the Metromare commuter rail from the Porta S Paolo station .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'opted out of signing him' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it simply describes a decision not to proceed with signing, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

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

After sharing her inspirational story of leaving school aged 16 and returning to education in her 40s , having taken a career-break to raise a family , and creating her business from a lockdown project over the pandemic in 2021 , Carla impressed the Dragons with her determination and success in turning over ? 140,000 in a year . However , since the episode has aired , she 's beat that in just a few days . In an interview with Metro , Carla said she was feeling ' a bit overwhelmed but really excited ' after her experience on the programme . ' I 've done my best year 's orders in the first three or four days , so it 's been a lot and I pack them all myself so I 've called in help from family and friends , ' she said . She confirmed she 'd made more than ? 150,000 in sales since the episode aired , adding : ' Obviously it slowed down and it will slow down , that 's not going to be every three days @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ year and now I 've beaten it in three days , which is just crazy . ' Three Dragons were left fighting for an investment ( Picture : BBC Studios ) The entrepreneur 's ethical towel brand came about after Carla overhauled her own haircare routine during the pandemic after 25 years of straightening , and decided instead to look into keeping her hair natural , while avoiding frizz and harsh chemicals . As a result , she created organic jersey cotton towels designed to avoid breakage , damage and split ends , and her stretch-fit wraps have now become a hit with consumers in over 40 countries . Carla had initially thought she 'd ' never , ever , ever ' attempt Dragons ' Den , despite having business experience through working at an e-commerce start-up and a business degree , as well as running her own company . ' I mean I love watching it , but when you 're watching it , you feel nervous when those people walk through the door , you feel their stress , and I just did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ explained . But when she was approached by a producer and went through the application , she thought there 'd be ' no harm ' in actually going on the show , believing that the ' scrutiny ' she 'd face in the Den could help her business . And she was certainly right to do so , as Carla walked away with three offers , and the Dragons fighting over her , with Peter Jones branding Sara Davies ' deluded ' at one point . After Deborah Meaden and Steven Bartlett opted out of investing , Touker Suleyman offered Carla opportunities that did n't quite align with her own ethical values about sustainability in her business . Carla said : ' They were so supportive of me , they said a lot of really complimentary things . I think I knew that Touker would give me a hard time , and I also know as you get older , you just stick to your guns more and know you have the confidence in your own beliefs . ' Despite the tension in the Den @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not as it seemed . She explained : ' I had some comments on social media saying Peter was mean saying the delusional comment , but that was n't really how it happened in there . ' That was the editing and I think I could see the value of going with Peter as well , and Peter and Sara would have easily gone together , but they were on different terms . ' Speaking of her experience on the show as a whole , Carla continued : ' It was really nerve-wracking , as you 'd expect . I could n't eat for days before . ' She went on : ' Once those lift doors opened and I walked out , I just had my game face on and was like , " You know your business , you know your numbers , you know your stuff . " Sara Davies was branded ' deluded ' by another Dragon ( Picture : BBC ) ' Once the pitch was out the way , I knew I was then just having a conversation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ talk about all day long , so I tried to tell myself that . ' Talking about the investment she received and her decision to turn down Peter despite his insistence that he would add value to the company , Carla added : ' I would have loved Peter as well because he was so lovely to me , and he 's obviously really a brilliant businessman . ' But Sara for me made perfect sense -- she 's scaled a business very successfully ... and I thought she 'd love the product . ' I 've grown largely organically on Instagram . People like Trinny Woodall and Shirley Ballas have talked about my towels on there . ' So she was the obvious choice and I 'm so glad she made me an offer , and I was thrilled to accept . ' Peter Jones ' offer was turned down ( Picture : BBC Studios ) In a press release after the episode aired , Sara , who invested in Good Wash Day for a 20% stake in the business , also praised @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so much in such a short time . She took a simple idea , poured her passion into it , and created a brand that solves a genuine need . ' I love her commitment to running an ethical business , whilst retaining that personal touch that makes it special . ' Her hunger to conquer the global market is insatiable and I knew within five minutes of her entering the Den that I wanted to invest in Carla 's business . ' I 'm excited to work alongside her to help more people enjoy the natural health and beauty of their hair . ' Carla also said it had been ' empowering ' deciding to choose Sara to partner with , after fearing an offer possibly being withdrawn in the Den . Carla said her decision to choose Sara was ' empowering ' ( Picture : Supplied ) Recalling making her decision , she told us : ' To be honest , you 're a bit emotionally exhausted by then , and I think you 've had this massive adrenaline dump when you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would have been brilliant in getting my product around the world , but I was in there for about an hour and a half , and I think by that point , my impression was Peter did n't really want to say " I 'm out " because he had been so supportive and complimentary about me . ' The other thing that was actually quite scary is you realise they can pull that offer at any moment , so if Sara suddenly thought that I was undecided and looked like I wanted to go to Peter , she could pull her offer , so there is an element of pressure around that . ' She said she had n't expected the ' mental shift ' she faced when , after pitching to the Dragons , they then pitched themselves to her , adding : ' Once you get an offer it 's almost like they are then pitching to you , and it 's a bit of a mental shift that you have to quite quickly adapt to so that that took me by surprise . ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' support , Carla has set her five-year goal of becoming ' a household name for anyone who is interested in hair and beauty ' . |

The sentence 'If a tattooist tries to talk you out of something, you should probably listen' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'talk' is used in the V1 slot, which falls under the category of 'By means of enticing, flattering, or verbal persuasion'. The NP object 'you' functions as a causee, and the sentence implies a prevention interpretation (the tattooist is preventing you from doing something by talking). This aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

" My customers generally come to me for my style , " says Aly Sidgwick , a tattoo artist at Take Note in Edinburgh . " I do a lot of woodland creatures , like bats , badgers and birds , and also mythical creatures . " Trawling through designs on social media can be helpful in choosing an artist , if a little overwhelming : " Work out if you want something bold and bright or soft and subtle , " says Sidgwick , " then look online and see what kind of styles there are and who does those designs in your town . " Be prepared to travel for the right artist , Sidgwick adds . Research the artist 's credentials , says Casey Marie , a tattooist and owner of Seven Stones in Bristol . " Ask if they have a licence and insurance . " Find out about cleanliness levels by popping into the studio or checking online videos and reviews : " I always open my needles in front of clients so they know that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be clear about the likely price upfront : some artists , including Casey Marie , charge per artwork , while others , like Sidgwick , charge by the hour . Most will ask for a non-refundable deposit on booking . Think about what technique you want to go for . Jemima Keziahis a non-electric or hand-poke tattooist at Crawe Tattoo in Leeds : " Instead of the machine moving the needle , I do it with my hands . So it is closer to the traditional way of tattooing . It is a bit slower , gentler and more mindful . " " I always ask people to send me plenty of reference pictures to make sure that we are on the same page , " says Keziah , who is known for her mermaids and natural designs . " The clearer you are about what you want , the less room there is for error . No amount of detail is too much . But it is also important to give your artist a bit of breathing room @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Molloy , surrounded by the names of his children . Photograph : Ian Kington/AFP/Getty Images Louis Molloy of Middleton Tattoo Studio , in Manchester , is the artist behind the guardian angel on David Beckham 's back : " He gave me a verbal description of what he wanted , and from that I did a sketch , and he was like , ' Yeah , that 's it . ' At first , he had it done without the wings ; he had them put on a year or so later . It is often likened to a crucifixion pose , but I describe it more as an Olympic diver when they stand on the board just before they dive . " Classic tattoo parlours have flash sheets -- collections of readymade drawings -- displayed on the walls or in folders ; they are " usually not customised , and not necessarily drawn by someone at the shop " , explains Sidgwick . " These days flash is less prevalent , in favour of custom-drawn design , but it is still a mainstay of old-school shops . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : " They usually have a specific idea and want me to translate it into my style . Some of them are really elaborate , with a huge backstory , and they are trying to express something from their life or about themselves , and memorialise a person , pet or something important to them . We 'll talk through their ideas to see what would work best in the space they have allocated for it , to see how it would actually look compared with the idea . " " Ask yourself : will I still think that this image is as cool 20 years down the line ? " says Molloy , who says he became a tattooist because " it was an instant membership to the bad boy club . " Casey Marie , meanwhile , recommends sitting on a design for as long as possible : " Use it as a screensaver on your phone , or put it in a WhatsApp group and let them rip it apart . " She adds that most tattooists will be happy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " I will move the stencil 100 times if I have to and if it 's still not right , we can come back another day . " This is a good idea for a first tattoo . " Try to think of a memory that you know is not going to change , " says Casey Marie . Her first tattoo was a word her dad used in a letter to her that made her feel safe . " I was really small , but it stayed with me . " " If you want it to be original , do n't pick something off Pinterest because everybody will have it , " says Sidgwick . Molloy has seen trends come and go since he opened his studio in 1981 , " like tribal tattoos in the 90s , which massively fell out of favour . Then it was the religious stuff that I did on Beckham and co . Then there was this vogue for pocket watches , with the time set to when their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to other artists ' designs , says Molloy -- his Beckham tattoo has made it on to many more backs . " I never had any issue with other tattooists copying my work . It is almost an unwritten thing with tattooists that you plagiarise people 's work . You take it as a compliment , because as they say , imitation is the sincerest form of flattery . " But remember to " go with your heart " , says Sidgwick . " Do n't copy your friends . " Go small at first , the tattooists agree , but " set the size of the tattoo to the space " , says Sidgwick . " Do n't get some tiny thing floating around in the middle of your thigh , because it will look silly . Maybe a wrist or ankle for a smaller design . " " With little ones , think about placement , " Keziah agrees . " Do n't just slap it somewhere really visible , like your forearm because you want to see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ visible places can get in the way of bigger stuff if you decide to get more . " Photograph : Christophe Pierre Suant/Alamy " All tattoos , irrespective of who does them or how good they are , will deteriorate , " says Molloy . " It is a natural process , but if you do them on places like the hands , that process accelerates because you use your hands all the time . You have to tell people this and they either take the advice or they do n't , but if you 've told them , then at least they are making an informed decision . " Beckham ignored some of Molloy 's guidance . Tattoos are much more mainstream than they used to be , so this is less of a consideration for the workplace now : " Loads of teachers have them , " says Keziah . " They do n't even have one or two -- they are covered in tattoos . I never had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it would have been really quite inspiring . So it does n't have to be hidden , but maybe somewhere that could it be hidden if needed . " " Tattooing is painful , but I describe it as a manageable pain , " says Molloy . " Probably the nearest thing I could equate it to is when you have sunburn -- that hot , burning feeling . Certain areas can be more painful , like your ribs , stomach and joints , but on fleshy parts , it is very manageable . " If you are anxious about the pain or needles , your tattooist should be able to reassure you . " I ask clients , ' Are you squeamish in any way ? ' If they do n't like needles I will turn my back to them when I 'm getting stuff , so they ca n't see what I 'm doing , " says Casey Marie . " I 've covered so many names , " says Sidgwick . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's because that is less likely to change . " " Sometimes you get people who want stuff and you just think , that 's not gon na work , " says Molloy , who has turned a few people away on this basis . " Years later , the client comes back in and says : ' I really appreciate you talking me out of that . ' " " If I know something is going to look really bad , I do n't want to be the one to do it , " says Sidgwick . " I 've also had people ask me for some awful things . I wo n't do anything hate-related . I do n't do genital tattoos . Just certain things I know would be a problem . I do n't want to go there . " Photograph : Horst Friedrichs/Alamy " For something a bit timeless , go traditional , " says Sidgwick @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a skull or an anchor . " " If you are going for colours , " adds Keziah , " reds , greens , browns seem to age quite well . There is a reason why people are still getting trad tattoos 100-plus years after they started in the western world . " Exfoliate and moisturise the skin well beforehand , says Casey Marie , and keep hydrated , all of which will make the process less painful and your tattoo will heal more quickly . Do n't drink caffeine before a tattoo as it can make you more sensitive and fidgety , and make sure you have eaten well to avoid your adrenaline spiking , which can cause you to pass out . But do n't worry if you do -- sometimes even tattoo artists succumb , as Casey Marie did during her last tattoo : " The lady put the stencil on my tummy and I fainted . " Unless you are going for something tiny , it will probably take @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I take a bottle of water , a fizzy drink and a packed lunch , " says Casey Marie . " Snacks are your best friend when you get a tattoo because you 're not going to feel hungry as adrenaline suppresses your appetite . Headphones , if you 're not necessarily comfortable chatting . A phone charger . I always take an extra jumper and fluffy socks , because , again , as the adrenaline spikes , you 'll get really hot and then really cold , and that is when your body can go into shock . " Most importantly , she says , do n't forget your ID -- passport or driving licence ; in the UK , you must be over 18 to have a tattoo . " I offer a patch test if you 've had a previous allergy to ink and are concerned about it , but a reaction is relatively rare , " says Casey Marie . " When you fill out a consent form , state any allergies . Some people are allergic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we use , so it is about knowing that and then looking at my setup and finding a backup . " " My shop is opposite a pub , " says Casey Marie , so a few drinkers have given it a go , " but from an insurance point of view , they ca n't consent because they are intoxicated . " It 's also unwise to get tattooed while tipsy because , " if you 've got alcohol in your system , you tend to bleed more and the more you bleed , the more your body will push out the ink , so the colour will heal lighter . " She will also turn away anyone who is obviously unwell : " Your body is already fighting something , so it is probably not a good idea that we are trying to get it to heal a tattoo . " An artist gets to work during the Brighton Tattoo Convention last month . Photograph : Alishia Abodunde/Getty Images Give the artist as much notice as possible @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gets ill -- that 's life -- and I 'm as lenient as I can be when it happens last minute , " says Sidgwick . " More often than not , I 'll take the financial hit for that day and rebook them for a future date . But I do have overheads and it can hit me hard if several people no-show or get sick in a week . " If you have had medical treatment for something like cancer , check with your doctor if it is OK to have a tattoo , advises Casey Marie . Tell the tattooist how you are feeling -- whether you need a break or want a change to the design , says Casey Marie . " Do n't be afraid to ask : can we move it ? Can we do this ? There are some artists who make you feel inconvenient if you ask to move it . But the chances are , if you do n't , and you go away unhappy , we will be more disappointed that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ love . That 's the kind of thing that keeps me awake at night . " You may leave feeling slightly woozy and " tattoo drunk " as Casey Marie calls it , which is why she sends aftercare advice by email rather than talking clients through the process in the chair . Aftercare involves applying a second skin or clingfilm , and lots of coconut oil or cocoa butter . Submerging the tattooed area in water -- eg baths and swimming , along with saunas -- should be avoided until the scabbing stage is over . Resist the temptation to scratch , as it can damage the tattoo . Instead , " slap it as much as you like , " she says . After a tattoo has healed , " it is about putting effective moisturiser on your skin and using a high-factor sun cream because UV light will fade tattoos and it does n't do your skin any favours , " says Molloy . " I have some clients who are meticulous about that -- and you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . If you 've got a really nice piece of work and then get heavily suntanned , you 're going to destroy it . " Laser removal works by breaking down the ink into fragments so that your body flushes out the pigments . After Molloy appeared on the 00s reality television show London Ink , he became " an unelected ambassador for my industry and I had two armfuls of really shit tattoos . So I had them all lasered off , then I had them all re-tattooed . That process took four years from start to finish . I 've now got two Japanese-themed sleeves that I 'm very happy with . " You can also have a different design tattooed over an existing one . Black ink is the hardest to laser or cover . " A panther is a classic for covering up , " says Sidgwick . Keziah adds : " I think it is liberating getting a tattoo and going off it because you learn that it is not really a big deal . I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with my body in general . Even the ones that I have gone off a bit , they are a part of who I was at the time . " Tattooing is n't for everyone , especially not on the face . Casey Marie has several there , which she says means people cross the road to avoid her , but she loves them : " I did n't love the size of my forehead , and it distracts from it . I think for a lot of people , tattooing can be a bit of a self-love journey . " |

The sentence 'If a tattooist tries to talk you out of something, you should probably listen' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'talk' is used in the V1 slot, which is a verb that can appear in this construction (by means of verbal persuasion). The NP object 'you' functions as a causee, and the sentence implies a prevention interpretation (the tattooist is preventing you from doing something by talking). Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

" My customers generally come to me for my style , " says Aly Sidgwick , a tattoo artist at Take Note in Edinburgh . " I do a lot of woodland creatures , like bats , badgers and birds , and also mythical creatures . " Trawling through designs on social media can be helpful in choosing an artist , if a little overwhelming : " Work out if you want something bold and bright or soft and subtle , " says Sidgwick , " then look online and see what kind of styles there are and who does those designs in your town . " Be prepared to travel for the right artist , Sidgwick adds . Research the artist 's credentials , says Casey Marie , a tattooist and owner of Seven Stones in Bristol . " Ask if they have a licence and insurance . " Find out about cleanliness levels by popping into the studio or checking online videos and reviews : " I always open my needles in front of clients so they know that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be clear about the likely price upfront : some artists , including Casey Marie , charge per artwork , while others , like Sidgwick , charge by the hour . Most will ask for a non-refundable deposit on booking . Think about what technique you want to go for . Jemima Keziahis a non-electric or hand-poke tattooist at Crawe Tattoo in Leeds : " Instead of the machine moving the needle , I do it with my hands . So it is closer to the traditional way of tattooing . It is a bit slower , gentler and more mindful . " " I always ask people to send me plenty of reference pictures to make sure that we are on the same page , " says Keziah , who is known for her mermaids and natural designs . " The clearer you are about what you want , the less room there is for error . No amount of detail is too much . But it is also important to give your artist a bit of breathing room @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Molloy , surrounded by the names of his children . Photograph : Ian Kington/AFP/Getty Images Louis Molloy of Middleton Tattoo Studio , in Manchester , is the artist behind the guardian angel on David Beckham 's back : " He gave me a verbal description of what he wanted , and from that I did a sketch , and he was like , ' Yeah , that 's it . ' At first , he had it done without the wings ; he had them put on a year or so later . It is often likened to a crucifixion pose , but I describe it more as an Olympic diver when they stand on the board just before they dive . " Classic tattoo parlours have flash sheets -- collections of readymade drawings -- displayed on the walls or in folders ; they are " usually not customised , and not necessarily drawn by someone at the shop " , explains Sidgwick . " These days flash is less prevalent , in favour of custom-drawn design , but it is still a mainstay of old-school shops . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : " They usually have a specific idea and want me to translate it into my style . Some of them are really elaborate , with a huge backstory , and they are trying to express something from their life or about themselves , and memorialise a person , pet or something important to them . We 'll talk through their ideas to see what would work best in the space they have allocated for it , to see how it would actually look compared with the idea . " " Ask yourself : will I still think that this image is as cool 20 years down the line ? " says Molloy , who says he became a tattooist because " it was an instant membership to the bad boy club . " Casey Marie , meanwhile , recommends sitting on a design for as long as possible : " Use it as a screensaver on your phone , or put it in a WhatsApp group and let them rip it apart . " She adds that most tattooists will be happy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " I will move the stencil 100 times if I have to and if it 's still not right , we can come back another day . " This is a good idea for a first tattoo . " Try to think of a memory that you know is not going to change , " says Casey Marie . Her first tattoo was a word her dad used in a letter to her that made her feel safe . " I was really small , but it stayed with me . " " If you want it to be original , do n't pick something off Pinterest because everybody will have it , " says Sidgwick . Molloy has seen trends come and go since he opened his studio in 1981 , " like tribal tattoos in the 90s , which massively fell out of favour . Then it was the religious stuff that I did on Beckham and co . Then there was this vogue for pocket watches , with the time set to when their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to other artists ' designs , says Molloy -- his Beckham tattoo has made it on to many more backs . " I never had any issue with other tattooists copying my work . It is almost an unwritten thing with tattooists that you plagiarise people 's work . You take it as a compliment , because as they say , imitation is the sincerest form of flattery . " But remember to " go with your heart " , says Sidgwick . " Do n't copy your friends . " Go small at first , the tattooists agree , but " set the size of the tattoo to the space " , says Sidgwick . " Do n't get some tiny thing floating around in the middle of your thigh , because it will look silly . Maybe a wrist or ankle for a smaller design . " " With little ones , think about placement , " Keziah agrees . " Do n't just slap it somewhere really visible , like your forearm because you want to see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ visible places can get in the way of bigger stuff if you decide to get more . " Photograph : Christophe Pierre Suant/Alamy " All tattoos , irrespective of who does them or how good they are , will deteriorate , " says Molloy . " It is a natural process , but if you do them on places like the hands , that process accelerates because you use your hands all the time . You have to tell people this and they either take the advice or they do n't , but if you 've told them , then at least they are making an informed decision . " Beckham ignored some of Molloy 's guidance . Tattoos are much more mainstream than they used to be , so this is less of a consideration for the workplace now : " Loads of teachers have them , " says Keziah . " They do n't even have one or two -- they are covered in tattoos . I never had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it would have been really quite inspiring . So it does n't have to be hidden , but maybe somewhere that could it be hidden if needed . " " Tattooing is painful , but I describe it as a manageable pain , " says Molloy . " Probably the nearest thing I could equate it to is when you have sunburn -- that hot , burning feeling . Certain areas can be more painful , like your ribs , stomach and joints , but on fleshy parts , it is very manageable . " If you are anxious about the pain or needles , your tattooist should be able to reassure you . " I ask clients , ' Are you squeamish in any way ? ' If they do n't like needles I will turn my back to them when I 'm getting stuff , so they ca n't see what I 'm doing , " says Casey Marie . " I 've covered so many names , " says Sidgwick . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's because that is less likely to change . " " Sometimes you get people who want stuff and you just think , that 's not gon na work , " says Molloy , who has turned a few people away on this basis . " Years later , the client comes back in and says : ' I really appreciate you talking me out of that . ' " " If I know something is going to look really bad , I do n't want to be the one to do it , " says Sidgwick . " I 've also had people ask me for some awful things . I wo n't do anything hate-related . I do n't do genital tattoos . Just certain things I know would be a problem . I do n't want to go there . " Photograph : Horst Friedrichs/Alamy " For something a bit timeless , go traditional , " says Sidgwick @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a skull or an anchor . " " If you are going for colours , " adds Keziah , " reds , greens , browns seem to age quite well . There is a reason why people are still getting trad tattoos 100-plus years after they started in the western world . " Exfoliate and moisturise the skin well beforehand , says Casey Marie , and keep hydrated , all of which will make the process less painful and your tattoo will heal more quickly . Do n't drink caffeine before a tattoo as it can make you more sensitive and fidgety , and make sure you have eaten well to avoid your adrenaline spiking , which can cause you to pass out . But do n't worry if you do -- sometimes even tattoo artists succumb , as Casey Marie did during her last tattoo : " The lady put the stencil on my tummy and I fainted . " Unless you are going for something tiny , it will probably take @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I take a bottle of water , a fizzy drink and a packed lunch , " says Casey Marie . " Snacks are your best friend when you get a tattoo because you 're not going to feel hungry as adrenaline suppresses your appetite . Headphones , if you 're not necessarily comfortable chatting . A phone charger . I always take an extra jumper and fluffy socks , because , again , as the adrenaline spikes , you 'll get really hot and then really cold , and that is when your body can go into shock . " Most importantly , she says , do n't forget your ID -- passport or driving licence ; in the UK , you must be over 18 to have a tattoo . " I offer a patch test if you 've had a previous allergy to ink and are concerned about it , but a reaction is relatively rare , " says Casey Marie . " When you fill out a consent form , state any allergies . Some people are allergic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we use , so it is about knowing that and then looking at my setup and finding a backup . " " My shop is opposite a pub , " says Casey Marie , so a few drinkers have given it a go , " but from an insurance point of view , they ca n't consent because they are intoxicated . " It 's also unwise to get tattooed while tipsy because , " if you 've got alcohol in your system , you tend to bleed more and the more you bleed , the more your body will push out the ink , so the colour will heal lighter . " She will also turn away anyone who is obviously unwell : " Your body is already fighting something , so it is probably not a good idea that we are trying to get it to heal a tattoo . " An artist gets to work during the Brighton Tattoo Convention last month . Photograph : Alishia Abodunde/Getty Images Give the artist as much notice as possible @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gets ill -- that 's life -- and I 'm as lenient as I can be when it happens last minute , " says Sidgwick . " More often than not , I 'll take the financial hit for that day and rebook them for a future date . But I do have overheads and it can hit me hard if several people no-show or get sick in a week . " If you have had medical treatment for something like cancer , check with your doctor if it is OK to have a tattoo , advises Casey Marie . Tell the tattooist how you are feeling -- whether you need a break or want a change to the design , says Casey Marie . " Do n't be afraid to ask : can we move it ? Can we do this ? There are some artists who make you feel inconvenient if you ask to move it . But the chances are , if you do n't , and you go away unhappy , we will be more disappointed that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ love . That 's the kind of thing that keeps me awake at night . " You may leave feeling slightly woozy and " tattoo drunk " as Casey Marie calls it , which is why she sends aftercare advice by email rather than talking clients through the process in the chair . Aftercare involves applying a second skin or clingfilm , and lots of coconut oil or cocoa butter . Submerging the tattooed area in water -- eg baths and swimming , along with saunas -- should be avoided until the scabbing stage is over . Resist the temptation to scratch , as it can damage the tattoo . Instead , " slap it as much as you like , " she says . After a tattoo has healed , " it is about putting effective moisturiser on your skin and using a high-factor sun cream because UV light will fade tattoos and it does n't do your skin any favours , " says Molloy . " I have some clients who are meticulous about that -- and you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . If you 've got a really nice piece of work and then get heavily suntanned , you 're going to destroy it . " Laser removal works by breaking down the ink into fragments so that your body flushes out the pigments . After Molloy appeared on the 00s reality television show London Ink , he became " an unelected ambassador for my industry and I had two armfuls of really shit tattoos . So I had them all lasered off , then I had them all re-tattooed . That process took four years from start to finish . I 've now got two Japanese-themed sleeves that I 'm very happy with . " You can also have a different design tattooed over an existing one . Black ink is the hardest to laser or cover . " A panther is a classic for covering up , " says Sidgwick . Keziah adds : " I think it is liberating getting a tattoo and going off it because you learn that it is not really a big deal . I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with my body in general . Even the ones that I have gone off a bit , they are a part of who I was at the time . " Tattooing is n't for everyone , especially not on the face . Casey Marie has several there , which she says means people cross the road to avoid her , but she loves them : " I did n't love the size of my forehead , and it distracts from it . I think for a lot of people , tattooing can be a bit of a self-love journey . " |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate structure. Additionally, it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'out of' is used in a different context, indicating the removal of stress from the act of organizing travel, not involving a causee or a specific means as described in the construction's properties.

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

Critics of Trump 's plan for a bitcoin reserve say it will serve primarily as a government backstop on the price of the asset , enriching current holders . Thomas **33;1909;TOOLONG New YorkCNN -- At a White House summit last week , Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick spoke passionately about the Trump administration 's plans to embrace cryptocurrencies , a largely unregulated industry that has historically operated on the fringes of finance . " Technology is at the foundation of the Trump presidency , " Lutnick said , addressing two dozen crypto CEOs . " We 're using the blockchain . We 're using bitcoin . We are going to use digital assets to pound forward , and Donald Trump is leading the way . " The summit was remarkable in part because of the shift in tone from the White House , which under previous administrations , including Trump 1.0 , largely kept crypto companies and their volatile digital tokens sidelined . Suddenly , with President Donald Trump 's re-election , the government is not only open to the industry -- it 's actively @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ties have come under scrutiny as he pushes the Trump administration 's pro-crypto priorities , many of which have questionable benefits for anyone besides existing crypto holders . Among those existing holders is Cantor Fitzgerald , the family-run Wall Street firm Lutnick headed for decades before handing the reins this year to his 27-year-old son , Brandon . Cantor Fitzgerald is the primary banking partner for Tether , a controversial stablecoin issuer whose token of the same name is by far the most heavily traded digital asset . And the firm is expanding its crypto holdings . On Tuesday , Cantor Fitzgerald announced it was setting up a new bitcoin financing business to provide leverage to institutional investors holding the asset . The firm also recently acquired a stake -- now valued at more than $1.58 billion -- in MicroStrategy , the biggest corporate holder of bitcoin on the planet , according to a new report from Accountable.US , a progressive government watchdog group , that was shared exclusively with CNN . Cantor 's crypto holdings also include more than $87 million in iShares Bitcoin Trust @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ holds crypto assets . His 92-page financial disclosure listed holdings in more than 800 entities -- all of which he pledged to sell within 90 days of being confirmed , in compliance with conflict-of-interest laws . It 's not clear what the status of that process is . The Commerce Department did n't respond to multiple requests for comment . Cantor Fitzgerald also did n't respond to a request for comment . The Wall Street firm Lutnick ran for decades , Cantor Fitzgerald , has been expanding its crypto footprint . Elizabeth Frantz/Reuters Lutnick 's crypto promotion while in office falls into an ethical gray area , according to experts who spoke with CNN . " He ought to stay out of anything that Cantor Fitzgerald is doing and let other people handle that at the Commerce Department , " said Richard Painter , a University of Minnesota law professor who served as chief White House ethics lawyer under President George W. Bush . " Now , I 'm going to tell you : There 's no law that requires him to do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ adult son 's control , Lutnick complied with conflict-of-interest laws that compel Cabinet members to divest certain holdings . Under the law , " divest " could include selling the assets , putting them in a trust or gifting them to a family member -- excluding spouses or children under 18 . " The law only requires you to disclose and to divest , " said Hui Chen , an anti-corruption expert and former federal prosecutor who resigned from the Justice Department under Trump 's first administration . " But that does n't mean you ca n't shape things for the long run that ultimately will benefit you . " That issue is hardly unique to the Trump administration , Chen notes . " But this administration has certainly posed a lot of conflict questions . " Despite Trump 's populist messaging on the campaign trail , his administration is one of the wealthiest in US history , with more than a dozen billionaires and mega-millionaires on staff . " Having a lot of billionaires who are closely tied to what they 'll be regulating raises @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the vice president for communications at the advocacy group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington or CREW . " And they have been , for the most part , unclear on exactly what they 'll be doing in terms of divestment and recusal . " Cantor Fitzgerald 's $1.5 billion stake in MicroStrategy , which last month renamed itself Strategy , is a bitcoin proxy holding -- a popular way for mainstream investors to ride the crypto wave without the logistical and security headaches of actually holding digital assets . Strategy 's founder , Michael Saylor , was one of about two dozen crypto leaders to attend the White House summit , and he is one of bitcoin 's most vocal evangelists . For the past five years , Saylor 's software company has amassed a roughly $40 billion stockpile of bitcoin -- an estimated 2% of all bitcoin in circulation . Strategy 's stock trades in lock step with bitcoin . In announcing the company 's new name and sharpened focus on the asset , Saylor declared : " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shot up more than 10% earlier this month after President Trump announced plans on March 2 for a " crypto reserve " that would include bitcoin and other tokens . But that initial burst in value quickly faded amid industry hand-wringing over the makeup of the planned reserve . As prices slumped , Lutnick spoke to the media to clarify that bitcoin would have a unique status in the reserve once it was formally announced . It would be a bitcoin reserve , not a grab bag of crypto tokens -- an important distinction for investors who view bitcoin as a kind of digital gold . " A bitcoin strategic reserve is something the President 's interested in ... and I think you 're going to see it executed ( at the summit ) " Lutnick told Pavlovic Today on March 5 , two days before the crypto summit . " So bitcoin is one thing , and then the other currencies , the other crypto tokens , I think , will be treated differently -- positively , but differently . " Sure enough , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Strategic Bitcoin Reserve , " along with a stockpile of other digital assets . Bitcoin , which is prone to volatile trading , went up slightly in response . The digital asset , in step with financial markets , soared to record highs after Trump 's re-election but has in recent weeks struggled to shake off anxieties about the president 's ever-shifting trade policy -- for which Lutnick is also a top spokesman . Under Trump 's executive order , the United States would essentially consolidate all the bitcoin it has seized through criminal and civil forfeitures and hold it as a reserve asset , similar to the way gold and petroleum are stockpiled , as a hedge against future financial instability . This is a controversial idea among economists , lawmakers and even some pro-crypto analysts . Critics question the wisdom of linking the full faith and credit of the US government to a purely speculative , highly volatile asset . They argue that the reserve is little more than a scheme to backstop the value of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Who does having a strategic crypto reserve benefit ? It 's not your everyday Americans , right ? It benefits these guys , " Libowitz said , referring to current bitcoin holders . Of course , with any innovation , early investors are poised to profit , Chen notes . But the question around bitcoin is more nuanced , given its lack of regulation and unproven benefits . " I think the question is : How robust is the evaluation about the risk to the government when it puts its weight around this form of currency ? ... Who is doing that analysis ? Are the people doing that analysis unbiased ? " she said . A White House official did n't respond to specific questions about a risk assessment , telling CNN in an email that the bitcoin reserve is the best way to protect the digital assets already in the government 's possession . The Accountable.US report found that at least four senior Trump officials disclosed total ownership of up to $7.7 million in cryptos including @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when Trump announced a crypto reserve plan on March 2 . That surge would have boosted these officials ' investments by as much as $800,000 , according to the report . Two senior Trump officials , Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard , have pledged to divest up to $1 million in crypto investments , but , according to the report , they have yet to file certifications showing that they have unloaded these currencies . ( Both of their ethics pledges state they will divest by early to mid-April ) . A Treasury spokesperson told CNN in an email Wednesday that " the secretary has already divested of this Bitcoin Trust " and that " he will file his certificate of compliance with the Office of Government Ethics by the required deadline . " A spokesperson for Gabbard 's office told CNN the director is committed to her pledge to divest before her April 15 deadline . President Trump himself is a recent convert to the crypto world . The first family are direct beneficiaries of World Liberty Financial and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have raised concerns across the political spectrum about the potential for corruption . By its nature , crypto offers a particularly easy way to , anonymously or otherwise , funnel money into entities that could potentially enrich the president and his family . Those concerns escalated late last month when the Securities and Exchange Commission , America 's top financial regulator , said it would no longer pursue its civil fraud case against crypto mogul Justin Sun . Before the SEC put its case on hold , Sun had boasted on social media that he 'd dropped $75 million on World Liberty tokens -- an investment that could set the Trump family up to eventually collect tens of millions of dollars . ( The SEC has declined to comment on the case . ) " This is , I guess , going to be the new approach -- hands off crypto , not enforcing fraud ... and I do n't think it 's going to end well , " Painter , the law professor , told CNN at the time .

In the depths of central Pakistan 's Bolan Pass , a pocket of wilderness so remote that there is no internet or mobile network coverage , the nine-coach Jaffar Express ground to a halt . Then the bullets started flying . " I was a passenger on the train that was attacked , " Mr Hussain told BBC Urdu . He , along with some 440 others , had been travelling from Quetta to Peshawar through the heart of the restive Balochistan province when a group of armed militants struck -- they bombed the tracks , fired on the train and then stormed the carriages . The Balochistan Liberation Army ( BLA ) quickly claimed responsibility for the siege , and threatened to kill many of those on board if Pakistani authorities did not release Baloch political prisoners within 48 hours . The group , which many countries have designated a terrorist organisation , has waged a decades-long insurgency to gain independence for Balochistan , accusing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also neglecting it . BLA militants have a long history of attacking military camps , railway stations and trains in the region . The siege lasted over 30 hours . According to authorities , 300 passengers have now been freed , and 33 BLA militants , 21 civilian hostages and four military personnel were killed . But conflicting figures suggest many passengers remain unaccounted for . Information relating to the attack and the subsequent rescue operation has been tightly controlled throughout . But the BBC was able to speak tomultiple eyewitnesseses who described the " doomsday scenes " on board the train as the attack unfolded . As Ishaq Noor told BBC Urdu of those first few moments : " We held our breath throughout the firing , not knowing what would happen next . " A railway police officer who was on board the train told BBC Urdu that , contrary to initial reports from Pakistani authorities , the train was " not in a tunnel but in an open area " when it was hit . The BLA @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ train was struck by the blast . It shows an open section of track that runs along the base of a large rocky slope . Atop that slope , according to the video , is a cluster of BLA fighters . The officer described to the BBC how he initially " fought together with other police officers " to try and hold off the militants until " the ammunition ran out " . " They the BLA were moving in front of us on the mountain and they were much more numerous than us , in the hundreds , " the officer , who spoke on condition of anonymity , recalled . He noted that he was accompanied by four railway police and two members of Pakistan 's paramilitary Frontier Corps ( FC ) . At least 100 of those on the train were members of the security forces , according to Pakistani officials . Reuters/Hakkal Media The BLA released footage of what it says was the moment its fighters attacked the train " I told my companion to give me the G-3 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ officer explained . " When I got the rifle and the rounds , we also started firing back . I used to fire one shot at a time at them so that they could not come near us and the train ... But in an hour-and-half , our rounds were over ... We were helpless . " When the gunfire from those on board the Jaffar Express ceased , the militants came down from the surrounding mountains and started taking passengers off the train , the officer said . " They started checking cards and telling people to go this way , this way , " he said , explaining that the hostages were separated into groups alongside the train , according to their ethnicity . The militants were speaking in the Balochi language , he added , and declared , " We have made demands to the government and if they are not met , we will not spare anyone ; we will set the vehicle on fire " . The officer claimed the militants were receiving orders : " They would get orders to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ group and kill them . They killed many people - both army personnel and civilians . " Some passengers , however , were allowed to leave unharmed -- including women , children , the elderly and those who lived in Balochistan , according to Mr Noor . Among those released was Noor Muhammad . He said that when the initial volleys of gunfire stopped after an hour , armed men forced open the door to the train and entered , saying " get out or we will shoot you " . Mr Muhammad said he was escorted off the train , and when he told the militants his wife was still in the back of the car , they brought her out too . Then they " told us to go straight and not look back " . The couple walked through the wilderness , he said , and with " great difficulty " reached Panir Railway Station at about 1900 , where they rested . His wife recalled the moment the Pakistan military arrived to meet them . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us , we will take you home safely , ' " she said . The soldiers took the couple to the town of Machh , she added , " and then we reached Quetta to our children , who were waiting for us " . Some passengers who managed to leave the train late on Tuesday evening said they walked for nearly four hours to reach the next railway station . They included Muhammad Ashraf , who had been riding the train to Lahore to visit his family . " We reached the station with great difficulty , " he told BBC Urdu , " because we were tired and there were children and women with us . " As night descended over the Jaffar Express , scores of BLA militants began to depart , according to the police official who did not wish to named . " Many of them hugged each other and 70 , 80 people left while 20 , 25 stayed behind , " he said . At about 10pm , he recalled , violence erupted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , they the BLA saw them and opened fire , then everyone fell to the ground , " the official said . Mr Mehboob similarly recalled gunfire throughout the night -- and said that at one point , a person close to him , who had five daughters , was shot . " When someone is killed in front of your eyes , you do n't know what to do , " he said . Another passenger , Allahditta , said his cousin was killed in front of him by the BLA . He said his cousin was pleading to the militants to not kill him as he had young daughters but " his life was not spared " . The BBC on Wednesday saw dozens of wooden coffins being loaded at Quetta railway station . A railway official said they were empty and being transported to collect casualties . It was during the time of morning prayer on Wednesday that rescuers from the FC started firing on the BLA militants , Mr Allahditta said . Amid the sudden chaos , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ FC opened fire at the time of the Fajr call to prayer , we escaped from the militants , " Mr Allahdita said . The police official similarly recalled the moment when the FC moved in , briefly diverting the BLA militants ' focus away from the hostages . " When the FC arrived in the morning , the attention of these people turned to this direction , " the official said . " I told my companion , ' Let 's try to run away . ' " Militants fired on the escapees as they fled , and the official said his companion was hit from behind . " He told me to let go of him . I said no , I 'll carry you on my shoulder . Then another person also joined hands and we went down the hills and out of firing range . " Mr Allahdita was among those who escaped the train when rescuers arrived Mr Mehboob , Mr Allahdita , the police official and his companion all managed to escape the Jaffar Express alive as the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and helicopters had surrounded the stranded train since Tuesday . On Wednesday , they killed the hostage-takers and cleared the site , according to a military spokesperson . Authorities said there were 440 passengers on the train - and 300 of them have been freed . But it 's still unclear what happened to the remaining 140 . Reuters and AFP quoted an unnamed security official who said some miliants had left , taking an unknown number of passengers with them . The military says it is still working to find passengers who escaped and fled into the surrounding area , and insists that any others involved in the hijacking would be brought to justice . Mr Noor , who is now distributing alms and charity in his hometown along with his wife , is just grateful to have escaped the situation with his life . |

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

Many childcare providers in England will be forced to limit the number of Government-funded places on offer to parents and increase prices due to financial pressures , a charity has warned . Early years settings face a " perfect storm of challenges " due to national insurance and minimum wage rises and " many will not be able to survive " , according to the Early Years Alliance ( EYA ) . A survey -- of 1,155 senior staff in nurseries , preschools and childminders in England -- found 59% of providers are likely to either reduce the number of funded places they offer for three and four-year-olds or they could opt out of offering funded places for this age group entirely . More than nine in 10 ( 94% ) said their setting is likely to increase fees for non-Government funded hours over the next year , while more than three in four ( 77% ) said they are likely to introduce or increase charges for optional extras -- such as nappies , meals and trips @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are likely to permanently close the entire setting over the next year , the poll suggested . The findings come as the Government 's expansion of funded childcare for working parents is being rolled out in England . Working parents of children older than nine months are now able to access 15 hours of funded childcare , before the full rollout of 30 hours a week to all eligible families in September . Among the survey respondents currently offering funded places for two-year-olds , 18% said they are likely to reduce the number of funded places they offer , while a further 5% said they could opt out of the scheme entirely . The EYA survey -- carried out online between March 4 and 11 -- found that only around a third ( 36% ) of providers currently offering funded two-year-old places for working families are planning to extend all these places from 15 hours to 30 hours a week from September . Of the settings currently offering funded under-twos places , only 41% are planning to increase all 15-hour places to 30-hour places , according to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and updated rules on additional charges were the main reasons cited by senior staff in settings for considering reducing or opting out of funded places . Last month , the Department for Education ( DfE ) updated its statutory guidance for local authorities in England to protect parents from paying additional charges on top of the Government 's funded childcare offer . It said parents should not face " mandatory " charges for extras as a condition of accessing a funded childcare place and a local authority " should intervene " if a childcare provider does this . Councils should ensure settings are aware they can charge parents for extras , but these charges " must be voluntary " for families , it added . One provider who took part in the survey said : " Currently , we are struggling to stay afloat . " The funding we receive from our local authority is n't enough and with the parents only taking their eligible hours and not being able to charge extras , it 's looking likely we may close . " Another said : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ year . The increases this year in staffing costs ( NI and living wage ) plus the increases in energy , rent , food and resources mean the setting is no longer sustainable unless we reduce funded places and increase our fees . " The EYA is calling on the Government to increase investment into the early years to ensure providers are able to meet rising cost pressures while keeping parent fees as low as possible . It has said early years providers should be exempt from the national insurance changes , or they should be compensated in full for the increases . Neil Leitch , chief executive of the EYA , said : " These survey findings should set alarm bells ringing across Government . At a time when ministers are looking to significantly expand the early entitlement scheme , we have a huge proportion of providers warning that the exact opposite is likely , with many forced to limit funded places or opt out of the offers entirely due to unsustainable financial pressures . " While we of course recognise the need to ensure clarity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for entitlement places , the fact is that this updated guidance has been implemented against a backdrop of severe and sustained underfunding , which the Government has yet to address , or even acknowledge . " Add to this the impact of upcoming increases in both national insurance contributions and the national minimum and living wage , and you have a perfect storm of challenges for early years providers - one that many will not be able to survive . " It is one thing to recognise the importance of the early years , but it is quite another to deliver the financial and practical support that settings need -- and make no mistake , our sector needs it now . " We therefore urge the Government to work with the sector and ensure that the early years gets the investment it needs to deliver on the promise made to parents -- before we reach the point of no return . " Neil O'Brien , shadow education minister , said : " Rachel Reeves 's jobs tax is set to raise costs for providers significantly , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with higher fees as the sector sees little-to-no government support to compensate for the consequences of their decisions . " At the end of the day , parents will be forced out of the workforce by these costs , hurting our economy even more . Once again , it is ideology over national interest with this Labour government . " A Department for Education spokesperson said : " Giving every child the best start in life is central to our mission to break the unfair link between background and success , and through our Plan for Change , we 'll get thousands more children school-ready by age five . " That 's why , despite having to take tough decisions to fix the foundations of the economy , we are raising spending on the early years entitlements to over ? 8 billion next year and we have announced the largest ever uplift to the early years pupil premium , increasing the rate by over 45% compared to 2024-25 . " On top of this , we have recently announced details of a targeted ? 75 million @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ September , alongside our strengthened guidance to make sure that parents do not face unfair charges to access a place .

There have been queues down one particular street in Gateshead , with a new bakery proving very popular in its first few weeks of business , so much so that there have been days when they 've sold out of everything before midday . Opening just a stone 's throw away from the centre of town on Coatsworth Road at the end of last year , Savour Bakery has been causing quite a stir on social media , with more and more people flocking from Gateshead and further afield , to see what all the fuss it about , having seen photos and videos of queues outside on Instagram and TikTok and also had their attention grabbed by some of the delicious treats on its menu . To use that famous cliche , there is something for everyone at Savour , with baked goodness of the savoury and sweet variety , with everything from freshly baked loaves and baguettes to salads , sandwiches and cheesecakes to cookies on offer . And demand has been so high for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sold out by lunchtime . Blown away by the response the business has had so far , Savour , currently open six days a week , took to Facebook last week to write : " We 've been blown away by the incredible response since opening -- thank you ! Every day , we 're increasing production , baking more , and working non-stop to keep up with demand . " Right now , we 're selling out by mid-morning , so if you want to get your favourites , come early to avoid disappointment .

" I was n't shocked he had done something like that , I was disappointed and disgusted . " For Linda Spence , finding out the news her ex-husband had gone on to murder was not a surprise . Linda - who says she suffered abuse , torment and a life of fear at the hands of evil Warren Spence - first met the now-convicted murderer when she was a 20 . A care leaver , Linda was vulnerable and fell quickly for " charming " Spence . Her story is not a far cry from the life lived by Sam Varley , a partner of Spence whose life he went on to rip away . He was found guilty of murder following a trial at Leeds Crown Court last week . Jurors heard Sam had reported Spence for domestic violence , and even predicted her own death when speaking to officers weeks before her death . Her body was found at the couple 's home in Brown Hill Terrace , Harehills , on February 18 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ head and she appeared to have facial injuries and had suffered " severe chest injuries , " including 25 individual rib fractures . Clumps of her hair were seen around the room and a hammer was recovered . Spence 's DNA was represented in three samples taken from the hair , and Sam 's DNA was present on the hammer . A mobile phone - later attributed to Spence - was discovered under Sam 's body . During the trial , as well as details about Spence 's relationship with Sam , jurors also heard about his previous convictions against former partners . Linda Spence has provided a photograph showing her with a black eye ( Image : Linda Spence ) Prosecutor Stephen Wood KC told jurors Mr Spence had a " long history of committing acts of violence towards other women he has been in relationships with . " Linda says she was one of those women . Opening up to LeedsLive , Linda told how after years of abuse at the hands of Spence , she managed to flee with her two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , no nappies and no bottles . She says she was allowed to leave that day by Spence , who she thinks did not believe she would go . Terrified , Linda ran to a phone box to call her mum and never went back . Despite managing to leave Spence and going on to find love and happiness in later life , Linda suffered greatly at his hands . She said : " People who say ' Why did n't you just leave ? ' Are very , very lucky because they do n't understand . I was 20 when I met him and a care leaver so I was vulnerable . When I first met him , he was brilliant . I later found out I was a bit of a trophy because I was somewhat innocent and he was the one to get me . Everyone liked him . " He served 15 days in prison for non-payment of a fine , car theft , assault and all sorts and he came out and within days he was a different person . The first thing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and it just changed . I realised he was trying to isolate me - he even slept with my friend ... I blamed her instead of both . I now believe he did this to isolate me from friends . " W - as Linda now calls him - attacked her on a number of occasions . Recalling one , she said she was forced to walk between Manchester and Leeds and as they walked through woods she spotted a police car . Warren Spence ( Image : West Yorkshire Police ) She said : " He said , ' If you get their attention , you will be dead before they stop . ' I had to watch the police car go past me . " Linda was further isolated when the couple moved to Leeds , with Spence starting to take drugs . She said : " He had the drugs and got to go out clubbing with my earnings . Violence increased , as did more drugs . " Spence 's behaviour came to its first head after a particularly violent assault @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , she was homeless for six weeks but went back to Spence after his father told her he was seeing a psychiatrist and was " sorry . " She said : " Looking back he was n't getting help ... he was regaining his control . " Linda said they moved in with Spence 's uncle , but he would attack her when they were alone . She said : " W would revert back to domestic violence . If I tried to escape , he would drag me back through the estate by my hair . No-one heard my screams , or if they did , they did n't help . " There were times we were in his car , and aggression would start . He assured me that if I got out of the car , I 'd be dead , run over before I got to anyone 's door . " Sam Varley ( Image : West Yorkshire Police ) Linda said a culture of " do n't grass " was instilled into her , and even when she went on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and their dog . She said : " It was a little Staffy we had . I came home one day and the dog was missing . " Years ago when the PlayStation came out they had handsets with little rectangles and sharp corners and I would have little triangles in the wall and the dog would be cowering . " He would say he did n't know why but eventually I knew as I would get beat up as well as the dog . " He also attacked her when she was pregnant with their daughter , and afterwards . She said : " It would go from , if the baby cried for more than two seconds I was evil , to the baby had to be ignored for hours - unfed , unchanged . I was not allowed to care for her , and too hurt to attempt to . " He would take wizz to keep himself awake for days , then assault me if I closed my eyes or tried to sleep . He would make me do unnecessary chores like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ days , frightened and hurt . I was n't allowed to leave the room , he would not let me tend to the baby ... I never swore , or hit back . " For Linda , it came to an end when Spence pushed her down the stairs while she was holding their two children . She said : " After the stairs incident , he was asleep and dropped a knife . We ended up at his brother 's and something went in my head and I said , ' I let her down . You dropped the knife and I did n't get it in you . ' I thought , ' Shut up , you 're dead now . ' " He was shocked . I think I scared him as the only thing I would say is ' Stop it . ' Two weeks later there was something else and he let me go to a phone box . I do n't think he thought my mum would come . I did n't really have a relationship with her . I think he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had no nappies , no bottles . My mum came and got me and he was very aggressive , saying if I did n't go back he would kill me . " Linda was still forced to have contact with Spence for the sake of the children , but they never saw him again . She said her daughter had contact with him as a teenager , but that soon stopped and she told her " the bare minimum " but has since opened up further .

Memorable moment - Colchester United defender Fiacre Kelleher scored his side 's winner in their victory over Port Vale less than 72 hours after becoming a father for the first time ( Image : RICHARD BLAXALL ) FIACRE Kelleher admits netting Colchester United 's dramatic late winner against Port Vale just days after becoming a father was an emotional moment . Kelleher 's header clinched the U 's a valuable 2-1 victory at the JobServe Community Stadium , less than 72 hours after his wife Clo had given birth to his new baby son Raymond , on Sunday morning " It was a bit emotional actually , " said Kelleher , who also celebrated his 29th birthday , on Monday . The win was the U 's fourth on the trot and extended their unbeaten run to 12 matches , bringing them to within a point of the League Two play-off places .

Reasoning
×
The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('it takes the hassle out of having two different phone numbers'). It implies a prevention interpretation, where the action of 'taking the hassle' prevents the need for 'having two different phone numbers'. The verb 'takes' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically'. The NP subject 'it' (referring to the paired SIM-only deals) is an inanimate force, and the NP object 'the hassle' is a causee in the context of the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

If you want two different phone numbers , getting two different phones is the most logical option . But that can be very expensive , and still means you have to carry around two devices almost everywhere . Luckily , there 's a much easier solution : dual-SIM phones . As the name suggests , they allow you to have two SIM cards ( and consequently , phone numbers ) on the same device . Paired with a couple of great SIM-only deals , it takes the hassle out of having two different phone numbers . The Galaxy S25 Ultra is the best phone you can buy , and the good news is that it supports two SIM cards in almost all markets . The bad news ? That does n't include the US , which allows for two eSIM profiles alongside one physical SIM slot . However , that does n't stop the S25 Ultra from being a stellar phone . There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more processing power , small but noticeable camera improvements and a new anti-reflective screen that puts the 6.9-inch , 120Hz OLED panel in a league of its own . The newly rounded corners make it easier to hold . You also get the best software experience we 've ever seen on a Samsung phone ( and maybe an Android phone full stop ) , with an extensive suite of genuinely useful AI features and class-leading seven-year update support . However , it 's by no means perfect . It 's a shame to see the built-in S Pen downgraded to be without Bluetooth , while such a heavy , bulky phone wo n't be for everyone . It 's also still very expensive . But if you want the best of the best when it comes to smartphones right now , the S25 Ultra is the device to get . The OnePlus 13 takes what made the OnePlus 12 so great and makes it even better . This is the best phone OnePlus has ever made , and up there with the finest around right now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ markets where it 's available -- including the UK and US . What makes it so good ? It 's a brilliant combination of top-class hardware , slick software and extensive support , meaning the phone could be your main phone for many years to come . Highlights include the stellar Snapdragon 8 Elite performance , a gorgeous 6.82-inch OLED screen and incredible battery life with 100W charging support . Those factors alone are enough to make it worth considering . But the OnePlus 13 is equally impressive on the software side , with Oxygen OS one of the best Android skins around and lots of useful AI features . Four years of OS updates and six years of security updates is n't class-leading , but plenty good enough for most people . With all that in mind , and a price tag that significantly undercuts many rivals , why would n't you buy it ? Unfortunately , while good enough for most people , the cameras are a clear step down from the best around , which will be a dealbreaker for many . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ case is required for MagSafe-style magnetic charging accessories , the OnePlus 13 will serve you very well . If photography is your top priority , there 's no better phone than the Xiaomi 15 Ultra right now . When it comes to stills , the handset is in a league of its own . Alongside a trio of 50Mp lenses ( main , ultrawide and 3x telephoto ) , you also now get a 200Mp periscope with 4.3x optical zoom . That enables some of the best zoom shots you 'll find on any phone , though the loss of variable aperture on main lens makes it slightly less flexible when the subject is closer . Still , with the optional Photography Kit accessory , it comes closer to replacing a DSLR than any other handset . A very capable 32Mp selfie camera is the icing on the cake . However , you wo n't be taking photos all the time , so it 's good to know that the Xiaomi 15 Ultra boasts top-tier performance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 90W fast charging ) , all with a durable yet chunky design . Its main drawback is on the software side , where Xiaomi 's HyperOS 2 skin does n't feel particularly intuitive and AI features are n't always flawless . Given the high price tag , there are better options out there if you 're happy with photos that are just ' very good ' . But if you want the absolute best photography experience out there , the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is the phone for you . However , it 's also worth considering the regular Xiaomi 15 , which is more compact and affordable but retains dual-SIM support . Neither are available in the US , though . After Oppo decided not to release its Find X6 and Find X7 series flagships outside China , the Find X8 series marks a triumphant return to Europe . Sadly , its launch has n't been extended to include the US . Both the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro are excellent phones , but the latter has the slight upper hand . It 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ plenty of software perks . But it 's the cameras that set it apart from rivals , and turn a great phone into a superb one . For pure image quality , it 's probably only the Xiaomi 14 Ultra that can rival it right now for UK buyers . The phone is n't without its compromises -- there are a couple of small camera downgrades compared to the Find X7 Ultra , while the software takes some getting used to -- but there 's no doubt that the Find X8 Pro is up there with the very best phones right now . The inclusion of support for two physical SIM cards only sweetens the deal . Pros Incredibly stylish design Affordable price point Slick and speedy software Great battery life Cons Ultrawide camera is n't great No charger in the box With a starting price of just ? 329/$379 , the Nothing Phone ( 3a ) is one of the most affordable mid-range phones @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no need to spend more , especially when it supports dual physical SIM cards in all markets where it 's sold . The Phone ( 3a ) offers an impressive combination of premium , unique design , rapid performance and great battery life . The display is a slick 120Hz OLED and Nothing 's take on Android 15 is a compelling one , especially with up to seven years of updates . The main compromise is the cameras , but the 50Mp main , 50Mp telephoto and 32Mp selfie lenses still outshine many rivals at this price . The 8Mp ultrawide is the big disappointment , but that wo n't be solved by paying more for the ( 3a ) Pro . Overall , the Phone ( 3a ) is an impressively well-rounded phone at a fraction of the price of flagships . Unless you really care about photography , AI features or the absolute best performance , the phone will serve you well . When you think of flip phones released in 2024 , Samsung 's Galaxy Z Flip 6 is probably the first one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ultra ( or Razr+ ( 2024 ) , depending on where you 're based , is a better choice for most people . While both devices support dual SIM outside the US ( but not in it ) , the Razr has the upper hand in some other key areas . The 4-inch , 165Hz outer screen is the big one . Not only is it significantly larger than rivals , but you can run any app you like on it without any complicated workarounds . The 6.9-inch , 165Hz internal display is just as impressive , with a crease that 's barely noticeable . While not quite as good as the best camera phones , the Razr 50 Ultra 's rear cameras can take great shots in a range of environments . However , Motorola has gone for a 2x telephoto rather than an ultrawide lens , while the internal selfie camera is n't very good . But with slick software ( despite some cover screen bugs ) , solid battery life and decent charging speeds , Motorola is onto a winner . The Z @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ software support , but the Razr is the better all-around pick for most people . The OnePlus Nord 4 is the best mid-range phone you can buy right now . It 's a better choice than the Pixel 8a for most people , and has the added benefit of supporting dual-SIM cards . That starts with superb build quality , with one piece of sturdy aluminium extending across the back and sides of the phone . At the front is a gorgeous 120Hz OLED screen , supplemented by strong performance and all-day battery life . Provided you 're a fan of the design , the compromises here are concentrated around the cameras . There 's no telephoto lens , meaning zoom shots are disappointing , while the ultrawide OnePlus has opted for instead flatters to deceive . However , if you primarily use the main lens anyway , you wo n't be disappointed . And with six years of security updates , the Nord 4 's longevity is one of its key strengths . Overall , it 's the leading choice if you 're in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need dual-SIM support or not . But its first attempt at a smartphone is an undoubted success , combining a fun look with solid core features and an impressively low price tag -- just ? 209/$199 . Its design is the clear highlight , with a back panel that can easily be swapped out and an attachment for a lanyard , kickstand , or card wallet , all of which CMF sells as optional extras . However , even if you do n't care about any of that stuff , the Phone 1 has strong performance and an attractive display , both of which are must-haves on a modern smartphone . Battery life is decent , while Nothing 's unique take on Android combines a unique look with no bloatware . The lack of NFC ( and so no support for contactless payments ) is the biggest potential dealbreaker , while the cameras and water resistance could do with work . Samsung 's Galaxy A15 5G or A15 4G are the cheap phones to get if you value long software support , too . But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the best all-rounder in the budget smartphone market right now . If you want a cheap , reliable phone that retains dual-SIM support , this is the device for you . If you want a mid-range dual-SIM phone that could easily pass as a flagship , the Xiaomi 14T is for you . It looks and performs a lot like the regular Xiaomi 14 , yet starts at just ? 549 in the UK . Sadly , it 's not available in the US . And there 's a lot to slick here , including a premium design complete with a stunning large OLED display . The cameras are surprisingly great , despite being a clear step down from Xiaomi 's class-leading 14 Ultra . Solid battery life is supported by impressive 67W fast charging , even if the necessary charger is n't in the box and there 's no wireless charging . This is a phone with almost no hardware weaknesses , though the software is still underwhelming at times . Google 's Circle to Search feature is genuinely useful , but Xiaomi 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's commitment to four major OS updates and five years of security patches is solid , though . And as an all-rounder , you 'll struggle to find anything better at this price point . You could step up to the 14T Pro , but the extra ? 150 ( it starts at ? 699 ) simply is n't worth it for most people . The Galaxy A16 5G is an unremarkable budget phone , but it 's also very easy to recommend . It 's an affordable dual-SIM phone that looks the part and offers a great display and strong main camera . Software is another key strength , with Samsung 's slick One UI skin and a full six years of updates . Performance is the main area of compromise , though we 've only tested the version that uses Samsung 's own Exynos 1330 chipset . If you live in a market where it uses the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 , your experience may be different . The secondary cameras also are n't great @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Galaxy A15 5G . Though neither should be dealbreakers , especially when you 're paying so little and getting so much elsewhere . We 've seen smartphone makers scramble to offer the biggest , brightest , highest-resolution , fastest-refreshing , toughest , flexible , foldable and even three-dimensional displays ; we 've seen an arms race in processors and graphics in the quest for the ultimate mobile performance ; a long-running game of how many cameras -- and then how many megapixels -- they can first squeeze on to the handset , and later hide out of sight ; a push for batteries that can go -- never mind all day -- but all week ; and new technologies that enable water resistant and vastly improve audio . We 've held your hand through a fascinating journey of mobile hardware , and today -- some 17 years later -- it 's the software smarts and once impossible-to-imagine AI capabilities that glue us to this path . We perform in-depth , real-world testing on every new dual-SIM phone that 's worth buying ( dozens every single year ) , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ experience possible and making sure we are in a position to give you the best possible phone buying advice . 1 . Something we 've noticed when shopping for dual-SIM phones is that the manufacturer very rarely provides any information about the functionality other than it exists . It does n't tell you how the dual-SIM functionality works in practice , nor whether both SIMs support 4G/5G , or even what size SIM cards they accept . You can never assume ; you 'll need to contact the manufacturer or check spec tables , reviews , or forums to find out this information . In all the dual-SIM phones we 've tested , both SIMs are on standby at all times ( known as dual-standby phones ) , but you can actively use only one SIM at a time . This means that either SIM can accept a phone call or text at any time , without you having to actively swap between them or reboot the phone . However , if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is active on the other , it wo n't start ringing in your ear or give you the option to put the first caller on hold -- the call will simply not be successful . 2 . Dual-active SIM phones use two modems and allow you to receive calls on both numbers at once . If it 's you who wants to make a call or send a text , Android has a standard SIM Management menu that lets you specify which SIM should be used for voice calls , video calls , messages and mobile data . You can either specify a particular SIM for each of these tasks , or leave the setting as ' Always Ask ' . The data connection is where there seems to be a lot of confusion when it comes to dual-SIM phones . Whereas both SIM slots on some dual-SIM phones are capable of supporting 4G or 5G connections , you can use data connectivity on only one SIM at a time . Unlike with calls and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on standby for both SIMs ; you must specify which SIM you want to use rather than select one when prompted -- though some phones will let you set them to switch to the other SIM when the first ca n't make a connection . By default , when you are using the data connection on one SIM and a phone call comes in to the other , it will pause the data connection on the first . 3 . If you want to take advantage of both SIM card slots and expandable storage , your options will be a little limited . While most phones with expandable microSD storage also offer dual-SIM , typically the SD card has to use that second SIM slot , forcing you to choose between storage and the SIM . If this is a priority for you , make sure to check reviews and specs carefully for phones that support two SIMs and a microSD card simultaneously -- there are some out there -- or look out for a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Yes and no. iPhones only ship with two physical SIM trays in mainland China , Hong Kong , and Macau , and even then it 's only some models . So , if you do n't live there , then you ca n't use two physical SIM cards in an iPhone . That 's why we have n't included any iPhones in our list above . However , every iPhone that supports eSIM -- those from the XS and XR onwards -- allows you to use a single physical SIM card along with an eSIM , and those from the iPhone 13 onwards even allow you to set up dual-SIM with two eSIMs . 5 . It 's a similar story for Google as for Apple . Phones from the Pixel 3a onwards allow you to use a single physical SIM along with a second eSIM , while the latest models -- from the 7 onwards -- include support for dual eSIM . However , none of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ simultaneously . Anyron is Mobile Editor at Tech Advisor , where he 's been a mainstay of the editorial team since 2019 .

The sale-topping son of Crystal Ocean in the ringCredit : Patrick McCann The amphitheatre that is Cheltenham 's winner 's enclosure echoed to the sound of auctioneers ' patter as the theatre of the Tattersalls Cheltenham Festival Sale played out in front of a crowd who lingered as dusk drew in and the house lights came up , illuminating the drama 's main players who were huddled against the ice of a bitter March night . It is as dramatic and theatrical a setting as possible for an auction of horses , and prices were driven ever skyward , rocket-fuelled by dreams of returning to this very ring but next time accompanied by a soundtrack of the audience 's acclaim . Thursday 's sale was the first time the progeny of Crystal Ocean set foot on Cheltenham 's hallowed turf but if the belief behind Coolmore 's young sire is any indication of his future success , then this will not be an isolated incident and Crystal Ocean @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' table for future Festivals . His first four-year-old maiden winner , Colin Bowe 's successful Lisronagh debutant Cristal D'Estruval , was a talking horse around the RDA Stables which had been transformed into a temporary Tattersalls outpost in the 24 hours leading up to Thursday evening 's sale and that chat proved to have significant substance as the gelding was bought by Harry Derham and Ed Bailey for ? 400,000 . Derham was effusive in his praise of the bay who will turn four at the end of this month and comes from the family of Grade 1 Challow and Grade 2 Winter Novices ' Hurdle winner Messire Des Obeaux . A delighted Derham , who will train him for an existing owner in the yard , said : " When I am at the sales I try to be really critical of horses and think , ' What do n't I like about you ? ' But he is my kind of horse . I just love him . He is very athletic and you 're not going to see a better model than him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ job . " He 's by a Nickname mare , which I was really attracted to , and I kept looking at him and I could n't fault him as a model . The performance did n't knock your eye out but the time was good on deep ground and he is just a very , very nice horse . Looking at him moving , you do n't think he needs a bog but he went and got the job done on deep conditions and the good ones do that . " Being out of a really high-class National Hunt mare , from a deep jumping family gives you confidence too . He was n't going to be a secret here , I thought he was going to be strong money and I am very , very grateful to have a client to go and buy a horse like that . " Bought by Bowe in partnership with Cametique Horses for ? 67,000 at the 2024 Goffs Arkle Sale from Peter Nolan Bloodstock , the son of dual Listed-winning hurdler Aurore D'Estruval , who was runner-up in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Carl Hinchy , was gritty in victory late last month , overcoming a mistake at the last to battle to a neck victory from No Walkover , with the pair drawing 20 lengths clear of JP McManus 's Haveugotmynumber . Bowe is accustomed to big-money returns in the Cheltenham ring but he said afterwards that the final figure of ? 400,000 was beyond what he had expected . He said : " He was always a lovely horse and very easy and straightforward to train . It 's a great start for Crystal Ocean so I am delighted he has sold so well and is going to a very good trainer in Harry . " I would have been happy with ? 200,000 . He had a nice dam and he walked really well the day we bought him , it does n't always work out but this time it did . " Goff 's Moate Stables was also the vendor of Daily Present , who won the Kim Muir on Thursday , the race that preceded the sale , so it was a Cheltenham to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the sale 's top-priced filly . A dual Grade 1 winner , Jango Baie conspired to finish as runner-up in his sole point-to-point for Goff , but Clondaw Park , who was sold , made a better start to her career with a debut success in the four-year-old mares ' maiden on the same Lisronagh card as Cristal D'Estruval . She made all under Goff 's son Harry to win by eight lengths and the filly , who is closely related to Nichols Canyon , whose eight Grade 1 victories over hurdles included success in the Stayers ' Hurdle for Willie Mullins , was a sought after commodity on Thursday evening and it was Derham and Bailey who won out at ? 320,000 . Derham was able to divulge the identity of Clondaw Park 's new owners . " She is for Nick and Ceri Fell , who are successful breeders of show ponies but are relatively new owners to the sport , " he said . " We have a nice Galiway filly Matwana , runs at Newcastle on Saturday for them this year and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Her performance was very good and she has a lovely pedigree , she looks very smart and we are delighted to get her . It is very much the plan that she has been bought with a future breeding career in mind . You are trying to buy a horse that hopefully I can not ruin by training and hopefully they can breed from her in time . " Her close relative Nichols Canyon was by Authorized and Clondaw Park is the daughter of another Montjeu stallion in reigning champion National Hunt sire Authorized . Being out of winning Teofilo mare Zamani , she is inbred 3x4x5 to Sadler 's Wells . Clondaw Park is the first winner for Zamani , who won over ten furlongs at three for James Tate and is a half-sister to Nichols Canyon . Third dam Mantesera is an In The Wings full-sister to Group 3 Nell Gwyn Stakes winner Cloud Castle , who was placed at the highest level in the Prix Vermeille and Yorkshire Oaks and is the granddam of Breeder 's Cup Filly & Mare Turf winner Queen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Group 1 winners Luso and Warrsan and the Group 2 winner and Group 1-placed Needle Gun . Both of Derham 's purchases will go on their holidays now . " They will go to Ed 's and they will be given lots of time and run them in a bumper after Christmas , " said Derham . " They are two high-class horses . Ed was on the pair of them and we are absolutely delighted to get them . " Fresh injection for Cullentra House A total of seven horses sold for ? 200,000 or more in the ring and Gordon Elliott is in line to train four of them , with various owners in the yard stumping up for new recruits . The most expensive member of the quartet was Generous Risk at ? 250,000 and the No Risk At All five-year-old was knocked down to Gordon Elliott Racing . Consigned by Donnchadh Doyle from Monbeg Stables , he got off the mark at the second time of asking but in his first run this year , having been third in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the first winner out of Venceremos , a winning Generous half-sister to Grade 2 Ballybin Hurdle and Listed Hillyhouse Quarry Handicap Chase winner Value At Risk and to the Grade 2 River Don Novices ' Hurdle winner Battlecry , who was third at the festival in the Grade 1 RSA Chase ( now Brown Advisory Novices ' Chase ) . Next to him was another five-year-old ; Keep Him Company , a son of the late Walzertakt who was also listed as bought by Gordon Elliott Racing but for the slightly lower figure of ? 220,000 . Consigned by John Costello 's Fenloe House , the son of Tom Costello whose academy graduates include Best Mate , the horse Galopin Des Champs is out to emulate in Friday 's Gold Cup , he won on his debut at Kildorrery on the first weekend of this month . He is the second winner out of Anais Collonges , a Dom Alco full-sister to the Sandown Grade 3 winner Quentin Collonges . Dave Page and Dave Rabson 's KTDA Racing bought the sale-topping Romeo Coolio here two years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Grade 1 Future Champions ' Novice Hurdle and twice been placed at the Cheltenham Festival , most recently on Tuesday , when the six-year-old son of Kayf Tara was third in the Grade 1 Michael O'Sullivan Supreme Novices ' Hurdle . Five-year-old Port Authority cost a little less than half of that on Thursday night , at ? 200,000 , but the aim for the Doyen gelding is the same -- Cheltenham . " Romeo has done well this week and if you want to play , you got to be here and we want to play , " remarked Rabson of another youngster heading to Cullentra House . " Mouse O'Ryan has seen him for a while and Gordon has had a lot of luck with the sire , so it ticks a few boxes and we will hopefully bring him back here one day . " Matty Flynn O'Connor consigned the Borris House winner and remarked : " I 'm delighted with that , he took a little bit of time to come to hand but he is a lovely horse and is going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of luck and hopefully we will see him back here . " He was a big , raw horse when we bought him and he just wanted a bit of time , so we are delighted it worked out well and hopefully now he can win plenty of races . " A ? 40,000 purchase at the Tattersalls Ireland November National Hunt Sale from Clonbonny Stud , the gelding , who is out of a Flemensfirth full-sister to Burn And Turn , was knocked down at ? 205,000 , a considerable profit for Dennison . O'Ryan said : " He has been bought for an existing client of Gordon 's and he is going to be a nice horse . He won his point really well and , with a summer 's grass , he 'll develop even more . Wilson is great at producing talented horses . " Jetting away to Cheltenham Jet Of Stars missed his intended sales date here last month but that proved fortuitous for Denis Murphy 's four-year-old son of Jet Away and for Lucinda Russell and Jimmy Fyffe who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " I really like Jet Away and he was recommended very highly to me , " remarked Russell , who trained Tuesday 's Ultima Handicap winner Myretown . " I thought his win was very good and he is just my type of horse ; a big horse with a good shoulder on him and I quite like Jet Aways . " Fyffe was standing beside Russell and he was happy to speak about plans for his newest acquisition . " I 've a lovely Jet Away with Lucinda called Jet To Vegas and I hope this is another nice horse as well , " he said . Jet To Vegas won Kelso 's Grade 2 Premier Novices ' Hurdle earlier this month , his second win of the season having been runner-up on his first three starts for Russell and Fyffe , who purchased him for ? 80,000 last May shortly after he made a winning debut in a four-year-old maiden at Bartlemy for Nicky Stokes . Fyffe is hoping the Jet Away geldings can propel him into the Cheltenham winner 's enclosure during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ winner at Cheltenham ! " Fyffe added . " I 've not had a winner at Cheltenham yet , I 've had a second but I need my first winner . Let 's see if this could be the one . " Jet Of Stars is a half-brother to Johns Spirit , who excelled at this course , the stage for his Grade 3 Paddy Power Gold Cup victory back in 2013 , and he was also placed in the race a year later and in the Grade 2 Silver Trophy Handicap , but failed to win at the festival . Another of the Oldtown debut winner 's half-brothers is The Game Changer , a triple Grade 3 winner over fences who was placed at Grade 1 level at Aintree and Punchestown and came fourth in the Arkle . They are out of Gilt Ridden , an unraced Heron Island full-sister to Grade 2 bumper winner Crocodiles Rock and to the Listed bumper second Fickle Fortune , who is the dam of The Model Kingdom , successful at Grade 3 and Listed level in bumpers . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on her only start , is the dam of the Grade 1 Greenmount Park Novice Chase winner Hardline . No win but sales success Mister St Eloi failed to complete his first start for Alan Ahern , then went down by head to the Derek O'Connor and JP McManus representative Hardly Surprising in the four-year-old geldings ' maiden at Ballycahane earlier this month , but the son of Jeu Et Eloi was touted as a potential star around the sales ring and he was snapped up by Aiden and Olly Murphy for ? 180,000 . He also failed to find a buyer as a store last summer when offered by Liss House , but the son of Listed Premio Mantovani third Miss Frog had plenty of admirers at Cheltenham . His pedigree is one of those curiosities that crops up in National Hunt catalogues as the French-bred 's family includes the Japanese 2,000 Guineas and Derby winner Neo Universe , who is a half-brother of his Listed-placed third dam Pleaselookatmenow . Statistics Festival dreams fuelled a record turnover for the Tattersalls Cheltenham Festival Sale @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 23 horses sold , at ? 150,000 , equalled the previous best which was set in 2019 but from a smaller catalogue . Thursday 's average of ? 158,696 has been bettered only twice in the sale 's history and both of those occasions saw fewer horses sold than on Thursday night . A total of 23 of the 28 horses offered changed hands in the sale ring , giving a clearance rate of 82 per cent . This year 's turnover was up two per cent on last year 's figure , which was the previous record aggregate for the Festival Sale , while the median of ? 150,000 represented a 25 per cent increase on last year 's figure . The average grew by 20 per cent year-on-year . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'get out of filming it', where 'it' is a pronoun referring to the storyline, not a causee participating in the event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'make a meal out of creating a good impression' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'out of' in a different idiomatic sense, unrelated to the construction's properties.

By Jiminy , the front page of The Times on Thursday put the fear of God into me . And I do n't mean where it said : " Back peace or I 'll ruin you , Trump tells Putin . " Or even : " Married men more likely to pile on pounds . " For the twin threats of World War Three and incipient marital obesity hold no terrors for me quite like the world-turned-upside-down hysteria of the screaming banner across the top which read : " Loud ! Rude ! How restaurants rate diners . " Wait , what ? Restaurants rate diners ? What dystopian flip-around was this ? I thought it was us who rated them . And when I say " us " , I mean me . Which is to say that I care very much what I think about a restaurant , and so should everyone else , but I do n't care @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nature . That 's like a horse having an opinion about its jockey , or a fox having an opinion about hunting . But according to a long piece in Times2 , the chefs and proprietors of fancy restaurants in places like Notting Hill and Mayfair are keeping track of our behaviour , marking us out of ten , a bit like Uber drivers , and using our ratings to decide whether to let us back in next time . The bare-faced cheek ( braised in wine and onions and served with creamy mashed potato ) of it ! The sheer **25;204;TOOLONG hell of it all . Their little eyes peeking out at us from the kitchen , not in fear and anxiety , as I 've always assumed , but in judgment . And talking about " loud " and " rude " as if they were BAD things . Ye gods , I 'll never get a table in London again . Our excellent correspondent Hannah Evans did offer some rules to help ensure popularity at our favoured spots . " Number one , be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from whom I have , until now , had no trouble . " Number two , become a regular . " And that 's it . Just when I 'm looking for a full set of guidelines on how to behave , it stops . Can two rules be enough ? Surely not . But do n't worry , I 've been making a great impression in restaurants since long before Hannah was born . I 'm sure I can fill in the gaps . Advertisement 1 Always book a table for six , even when it 's just you and the wife . I learnt that from Michael Winner , the greatest restaurant-goer of all . " I do n't book a restaurant , dear , " he told me . " I book a table . And I always book a six so that I have plenty of room . I also specify a corner table . If they say they do n't have a six in a corner , I tell them to put one there . " 2 Show up at least an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on a party invitation ; it 's just a guideline . Arriving on the dot is gauche . And the whole system would collapse if everyone did it . You 've got to give them time to look forward to your eventual appearance . 3 On arrival , loudly greet the restaurant manager with the word " Giovanni ! " It does n't matter if he is n't actually called Giovanni , although if it 's an Italian restaurant he probably is . The point is to hail him by name to mark yourself out to the other diners ( and their wives ) as the apex predator in the room . 4 Once he has quietly told you that his name is in fact Alberto , you have two options . Either you loudly call him " Alberto " from now on to claim incontrovertible ownership , or you just keep calling him " Giovanni " because it 's funny . And it 's a joke that gets funnier and funnier as the years go by , like with Trigger in Only Fools and Horses always calling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hilarious . I mean , Alberto . Or whatever he 's called . It does n't matter , he 's only a waiter . 5 When you want service , call for it . Do n't sit there like a lemon hoping they 'll come by , because they wo n't . They 'll be over at some Russian 's table , grovelling like spaniels . Winner 's thing was to wave his napkin furiously in the air , but those were the days of big , white linen napkins that could really be seen across a busy room . These days , likely as not , you 'll have a tiny scrap of hessian that wo n't work at all . This leaves only the finger snap , which not everyone can do , or my personal favourite , the double handclap , high above your left shoulder , like a Sultan summoning the belly dancers , ? la Bernard Bresslaw in Carry On Up the Khyber . Until recently , the rarity of such a move commanded instant attention , but with the arrival of Gulf money @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sound like a roomful of people playing the maracas . Advertisement 6 Speaking of Russians and Arabs , do not make the mistake of taking your wife . People will assume you 're poor . Restaurateurs in Mayfair have never seen a man and a woman of the same age eating together . Or talking to each other . So the best thing is to take your daughter and dress her up like a hooker . Unless she is already out that night with a Russian . 7 Do not make the mistake of being fat . Everyone who can afford to eat out in London is on Ozempic . It 's why they are all thin , miserable and not eating . The business model now is to fill your restaurant with semaglutide addicts , who order all the expensive stuff to show how rich they are then leave it untouched so you can feed it to the staff . 8 When the server has taken your order he or she will ask : " Do you have any allergies ? " Remember , she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is : " No , I have n't ... EXCEPT THESE PRICES ! " This will bring the house down and I guarantee the waitress wo n't have heard it before . 9 Alternatively , you could reply -- assuming you have ordered , say , the oysters followed by the king prawns -- " ONLY SHELLFISH ! " That never gets old , either . 10 When the wine list is brought , have a quick glance and then say : " ? 240 for the Ch ? teau Bumface ? I bought six cases en primeur at auction for not much more than that ! " Tell the staff some more about your cellar at home and what a rip-off the wine is here , then order third from top like everyone else . Advertisement 11 When you 've eaten , stick around as long as you like , nattering and drinking tap water . They 're only putting the chairs on the tables because they need the exercise . They do n't want to go home or anything . 12 When it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get the service , because I 've heard some restaurants use it to make up wages ? " then lose interest while she 's talking , tell her to strike it off the bill because you 'd rather tip her in cash and wander off without leaving anything . |

Xilonen is a 5-Star Geo character who was added to Genshin Impact during version 5.1 . While Xilonen features as the boosted 5-Star character on her Forgefire 's Blessing Banner in version 5.5 , she will eventually return to Genshin Impact at some point in the future when the Banner schedule cycles back to her . If you want to prepare for her , we 've listed Xilonen 's Ascension materials and Talent materials so you can level her up to her full potential right away . To understand how you might play her , we 've also detailed Xilonen 's kit and Constellations . Xilonen is a 5-Star Geo character who uses a sword , and keeping in mind that all of the percentages mentioned below are based on Level 1 Skills , here 's a summary of Xilonen 's kit in Genshin Impact : . Element : Geo . Rarity : 5-Star . Weapon : Sword . Image credit : HoYoverse Normal Attack : Ehecatl 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Elemental Burst : Ocelotlicue Point ! . Passive one : Night Realm 's Gift : Blessing of Forge-Fire - After her Nightsoul points are fully depleted , Xilonen will switch to consuming Phlogiston to maintain her Nightsoul 's Blessing . While in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan , she can use Nightsoul Transmission : Xilonen . When the active character is currently sprinting , climbing , in a movement mode caused by certain Talents , or at a certain height in the air , the following will trigger when switching to Xilonen : Xilonen will enter the Nightsoul 's Blessing state and gain 20 Nightsoul points . In this situation , Xilonen 's Nightsoul points have a 4 second time limit , after which her Nightsoul points will immediately expire . After she uses Yohual 's Scratch within this time limit , her Nightsoul point time limit will be extended by 9 seconds . Nightsoul Transmission can be triggered once every 10 seconds by your own team . Additionally , while in Natlan , Xilonen will not consume Stamina when climbing while in the Nightsoul 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Source Samples that have had their Elemental Types changed , she gains 35 Nightsoul points when her normal or plunging attacks hit opponents .

Passive three : Portable Armored Sheath - While in the Nightsoul 's Blessing state , when Xilonen 's Nightsoul points reach the maximum , she will trigger an effect equal to that of her Nightsoul Burst . This effect can be triggered once every 14 seconds . Additionally , when nearby party members trigger a Nightsoul Burst , Xilonen 's defence is increased by 20% for 15 seconds . Xilonen performs up to three rapid strikes if tapping the normal attack button . Holding it down instead makes Xilonen consume stamina to perform a forward kick . As with most plunging attacks , Xilonen strikes the ground below dealing AOE ( Area of Effect ) damage upon impact , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , with damaged scaled from Xilonen 's defence stat . Nightsoul 's Blessing - Blade Roller : When in the Nightsoul 's Blessing state , Xilonen will enter the Blade Roller mode . While in this mode , Xilonen 's normal attacks will allow her to perform up to 4 kicks using her roller blades , but she will be unable to use charged attacks . When her normal and plunging attacks are used in this mode , they will switch to being based on her defence , and Xilonen will deal Nightsoul-aligned Geo Damage that ca n't be overridden . Xilonen switches to high-speed combat blading gear and rushes forward a certain distance before dealing Nightsoul-aligned Geo Damage based on her defence . After using this , Xilonen will gain 45 Nightsoul points and enter the Nightsoul 's Blessing state . In this state , she will shift to the Blade Roller mode . Source Samples Xilonen has three Samplers with her that can generate different Soundscapes based on her other party members ' Elemental Types @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . The initial recorded Source Sample within each Sampler will be Geo , and for each party member who is Pyro , Hydro , Cryo , or Electro , one Geo Sample will change to that corresponding Element . While Xilonen is in the Nightsoul 's Blessing state , the Geo Source Sample she carries will always be active . After unlocking her Passive Talent , ' Netotiliztli 's Echoes ' , Xilonen can trigger said Passive Talent 's effects to regenerate Nightsoul points for herself . When her Nightsoul points hit the maximum , she will consume all her Nightsoul points and activate the three Source Samples she has on hand for 15 seconds . When the Source Samples are active , nearby opponents ' corresponding Elemental Resistance will decrease . Source Sample effects of the same Elemental Type can not stack . Xilonen can trigger these effects even when off-field . Image credit : HoYoverse Nightsoul 's Blessing : Xilonen Xilonen continuously consumes Nightsoul points . When these points are depleted or if used again , this Nightsoul 's Blessing state will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ switches to the Blade Roller mode , increasing her Movement Speed and climbing speed , and she can perform high-speed leaps in Ocelot Form while climbing . Xilonen 's Nightsoul 's Blessing has the following restrictions : When in this state , Xilonen 's Nightsoul points have a 9 second time limit . After this limit passes , her Nightsoul points will immediately expire . After Xilonen 's Nightsoul points have expired while she is in the Nightsoul 's Blessing state , she will no longer be able to generate Nightsoul points via the Passive Talent ' Netotiliztli 's Echoes ' . Additionally , Xilonen will trigger the following effects based on her different Source Samples : If she has at least two Source Samples that have had their Elemental Types changed , Xilonen will play an Ebullient rhythm , healing nearby active characters at intervals based on her Defence . If she has fewer than two Source Samples that have had their Elemental Types changed , Xilonen will start up an Ardent rhythm , which will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ based on her Defence . Mirror of Mushin . Image credit : HoYoverse To get the most out of using Xilonen , you will have to level her skills up by using Talent materials , which vary from character-to-character . You 'll need to farm a lot of Whistle and Kindling materials ( if you do n't already have them ) to fully upgrade her capabilities , and as Xilonen has three Talents , you will have to spend three times the Talent materials listed below to fully upgrade all of her abilities , which we 've also detailed below the table . Here 's what Xilonen Talent materials you need to improve one of her abilities : Just like Talents , you need to use Xilonen Ascension materials to upgrade her health , attack , defence , and critical hit effectiveness . You 'll need to farm a lot of Brilliant Chrysanthemum and Whistle materials for Xilonen ( if you do n't already have them ) to fully upgrade her capabilities . Unlike Talent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ materials once to fully raise Xilonen to her highest character level . There is also Acquaint Fate rewarded for reaching certain Ascension levels . You can spend this Fate on the standard and beginner Banners to Wish for characters and weapons .

Imperishable Night Carnival ( C6 ) : When Xilonen is in the Nightsoul 's Blessing state , when she sprints , leaps , or uses Normal or Plunging Attacks , she will gain Imperishable Night 's Blessing , ignoring the limitations of her Nightsoul 's Blessing state and increasing the damage dealt by her normal and plunging attacks for 5 seconds . During this time : Xilonen 's Nightsoul 's Blessing time limit countdown will be paused . Here Nightsoul points , Phlogiston , and Stamina will not decrease , and when her Nightsoul points reach the maximum , her Nightsoul 's Blessing state will not end either . Xilonen deals 300% of her Defence as increased normal and plunging attack damage while in the Nightsoul 's Blessing state . She heals nearby party members for 120% of her defence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Night 's Blessing once every 15 seconds . Good luck levelling up Xilonen in Genshin Impact !

Xianyun is a 5-Star Anemo character who was added to Genshin Impact during version 4.4 .

Passive two : Consider , the Adeptus in Her Realm - When the Starwicker created by Xianyun 's Elemental Burst has Adeptal Assistance stacks , nearby active characters ' plunging attack shockwave damage is increased by 200% of Xianyun 's attack . The maximum damage increase that can be achieved this way is 9,000 . Each plunging attack 's shockwave damage instance can only apply this increased damage effect to a single enemy . Each character can trigger this effect once every 0.4 seconds @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Flower Tapping the normal attack button makes Xianyun perform up to four hits that deal Anemo damage , but charging the normal attack instead consumes stamina to launch a Breeze Bolt in a straight line that deals Anemo damage to opponents along its path . Plunging from the air harms all enemies on the way down , then deals AOE ( area of effect ) Anemo damage upon impact . Xianyun enters the Cloud Transmogrification state where she does n't take fall damage , and uses Skyladder once . In this state , Xianyun 's plunging attack is converted into Driftcloud Wave instead , which deals AoE Anemo damage and ends the Cloud Transmogrification state . Damage dealt this way is considered plunging attack damage . Each use of Skyladder while in this state increases the damage and AoE of the next Driftcloud Wave used . Image credit : HoYoverse Skyladder can be used while in mid-air , and when Skyladder is activated Xianyun leaps forward , dealing Anemo damage to enemies in her path @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ may be used up to three times , and one instance of Skyladder damage can be dealt to any one opponent . If Skyladder is not used again in a short period , the Cloud Transmogrification state will be cancelled . If Xianyun does not use Driftcloud Wave while in this state , the next cooldown of White Clouds at Dawn will be decreased by three seconds . Xianyun creates a breeze that deals AOE Anemo damage and heals all nearby characters based on Xianyun 's attack stat . It also summons a mechanism named Starwicker . Starwicker continuously follows the active character to periodically heal all nearby party members , with healing scaled off Xianyun 's attack stat . Starwicker starts with eight stacks of Adeptal Assistance , and while Adeptal Assistance is active , nearby active characters have their jump height increased . When the active character completes a plunging attack , Starwicker consumes one stack of Adeptal Assistance to deal AOE Anemo damage . Only one Starwicker can exist at once . To get the most out of using Xianyun , you will have to level her skills up by using Talent materials , which vary from character-to-character . You need to farm a lot of Scroll and Gold materials ( if you do n't already have them ) to fully upgrade Xianyun 's capabilities . As Xianyun has three Talents , you will have to spend three times the Talent materials listed below to fully upgrade all of her abilities , which we 've also detailed below the table . Here 's what Xianyun Talent materials you need to improve one of her abilities : Here 's what Talent Materials you 'll need to fully upgrade one of Xianyun 's skills : x1 Crown of Insight x3 Teachings of Gold x6 Divining Scroll x6 Lightless Eye of the Maelstrom x21 Guide to Gold x22 Sealed Scroll x31 Forbidden Curse Scroll x38 Philosophies of Gold 1,652,500 Mora To upgrade all three of Xianyun 's skills , here 's all the Talent Materials you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Teachings of Gold x18 Divining Scroll x18 Lightless Eye of the Maelstrom x63 Guide to Gold x66 Sealed Scroll x93 Forbidden Curse Scroll x114 Philosophies of Gold 4,957,500 Mora Clearwater Jade . Image credit : HoYoverse Just like Talents , you need to use Xianyun Ascension materials to upgrade her health , attack , defence , and critical hit effectiveness . You need to farm a lot of Clearwater Jade and Scroll materials for Xianyun ( if you do n't already have them ) to fully upgrade her capabilities . Unlike Talent materials , you only need to spend the below Ascension materials once to fully raise Xianyun to her highest character level . There is also Acquaint Fate rewarded for reaching certain Ascension levels . You can spend this Fate on the standard and beginner Banners to Wish for characters and weapons . Here 's what Xianyun Ascension materials and Mora you need to upgrade her for each Ascension level : In total , here 's all the Ascension Materials @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Vayuda Turquoise Sliver x6 Vayuda Turquoise Gemstone x9 Vayuda Turquoise Fragment x9 Vayuda Turquoise Chunk x18 Divining Scroll x30 Sealed Scroll x36 Forbidden Curse Scroll x46 Cloudseam Scale x168 Clearwater Jade 420,000 Mora By getting duplicates of Xianyun from wishing on Banners , you will receive her Stella Fortuna . This material allows you to unlock Constellation levels , with each upgrade either improving an existing Talent or Passive ability . Aloof From the World ( C2 ) : After using a Skyladder from her Elemental Skill , Xianyun 's attack increases by 20% for 15 seconds . Additionally , the effects of the ' Consider , the Adeptus in Her Realm ' passive talent are enhanced , so when the Starwicker created by her Elemental Burst has Adeptal Assistance stacks , nearby active characters ' plunging attack shockwave damage is increased by 400% of Xianyun 's attack . The maximum damage increase that can be achieved this way is 18,000 . Each plunging attack shockwave damage instance can only apply this increased damage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this effect once every 0.4 seconds . Creations of Star and Moon ( C3 ) : Increases the level of Xianyun 's Elemental Burst by three , with a maximum upgrade level of 15 . Mystery Millet Gourmet ( C4 ) : After using Skyladder 1/2/3 times during one of Xianyun 's Elemental Skill Transmogrification states , when a Driftcloud Wave made during that instance hits an enemy , it heals all nearby party members for 50%/80%/150% of Xianyun 's attack stat . This effect can be triggered once every five seconds . Astride Rose-Colored Clouds ( C5 ) : Increases the Level of Xianyun 's Elemental Skill by three , with a maximum upgrade level of 15 . The Call Her Cloud Retainer ( C6 ) : After Skyladder has been used 1/2/3 times in one Cloud Transmogrification state caused by her Elemental Skill , the resultant Driftcloud Wave 's Crit Damage is increased by 15%/35%/70% . Within 16 seconds after Xianyun has used her Burst , White Clouds at Dawn will not enter cooldown . This effect will be cancelled once she has used @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ play Xianyun in Genshin Impact You should unlock her two passive talents as soon as possible so that Xianyan 's Elemental Burst gives huge plunging attack buffs to other party members . Xianyun 's Burst is the most important part of her kit , so you should prioritise levelling it up first , then her Skill . After activating Xianyun 's Burst , switch to your DPS and then start plunge attacking . You can do this up to eight times before Xianyun 's buff expires , or time runs out . We recommend picking a DPS who can infuse with Swirls , claymore or catalyst users , or someone who already has high plunging damage ( hi , Xiao ) . We recommend you only jump once before plunge attacking while using Xianyun 's Skill , as getting Anemo particles to recharge her Burst is more important than her own personal damage . Lastly , keep in mind that Xianyun works best in single-target situations like fighting bosses because of the way her buffs work . She holds her own in AOE , it 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Best Xianyun team in Genshin Impact Xianyun is a great sub DPS that can be used to heal and buff a lot of different team types , and can even bring your old forgotten characters like Diluc back into the spotlight because of the way her plunging attack and Anemo buffs work . Furina is one of the best characters to pair with Xianyun for huge DPS buffs . Image credit : HoYoverse In most situations , you 'll want to pair Xianyun with a DPS who benefits from her plunging buffs - like Xiao , Hu Tao , Diluc , or Gaming - or characters who can infuse with her Swirls . Even if your DPS ca n't infuse with Xianyun 's Swirls , your support and sub DPS characters can , so the usual favourites like Fischl , Xingqiu , and Yelan also work very well in Xianyun teams . If you 're lucky enough to have her , Furina is one of the best team members to run alongside Xianyun , as she applies a decent amount of Hydro while also providing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ party even further . Although we generally do n't recommend doing it because of its effect on other teams , a C6 activated Bennett can also work incredibly well with Xianyun because of his new Pyro infusion capabilities , allowing you to make a lot of other characters viable options to play with Xianyun . Lastly , remember that Xianyun is also a pretty good teamwide healer , so you can slot her into any team in need of one . Part of the Viridescent Venerer set . As with almost all Anemo support characters , the best Artifact set for Xianyun in Genshin Impact is the 4-piece Viridescent Venerer , as it increases Anemo and Swirl damage while decreasing enemies Elemental Resistance to the element infused with Swirl . However , if your DPS uses an element that ca n't infuse with Swirl ( Anemo , Geo , and Dendro ) then you might want to equip either the 4-piece Noblesse Oblige , or the 4-piece Forgotten Oath of Days Past . Noblesse Oblige is good for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is activated , and Forgotten Oath of Days Past converts Xianyun 's healing into damage . Keep in mind that you can still use Viridescent Venerer if you 're running good sub DPS characters though , as they can benefit from the Swirl reactions even when your DPS ca n't . As for Xianyun 's Artifact stats , you 'll want to get enough Energy Recharge to consistently use her Burst in your rotations . Once you have enough Energy Recharge , we recommend prioritising attack , as this is what Xianyun scales off . Healing Bonus is a nice extra to have , but is n't as important as Energy Recharge and attack . As with most signatures , the 5-Star Crane 's Echoing Call catalyst is Xianyun 's best weapon in Genshin Impact . At Refinement 1 and Level 90 , after Xianyun hits an opponent with a Plunging Attack with Crane 's Echoing Call equipped , all nearby party members ' plunging attacks deal 28% increased damage for 20 seconds . When nearby party members hit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Xianyun . Energy can be restored this way every 0.7 seconds , and this energy regain effect can be triggered even if Xianyun is not on the field . Image credit : HoYoverse You can also repurpose other 5-Star catalysts for Xianyun as a ' stat stick ' , most notably the Skyward Atlas and the Memory of Dust . Keep in mind that the additional buffs are n't great on these weapons - it 's just the huge attack stat increase that makes them viable . However , one of Xianyun 's best weapons is actually the 4-Star Oathsworn Eye for its boost to Energy Recharge after using an Elemental Skill . As this is an event weapon , you might not have access to it . If you do n't have Oathsworn Eye , then the Favonious Codex is a decent 4-Star alternative for its energy particle generation on critical hits . The 3-Star Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers can also work to buff your DPS if you do n't have better options . If you want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alive , we have compiled what we think is currently the best Xianyun build in Genshin Impact : Xianyun Best Weapon : 5-Star Crane 's Echoing Call catalyst . Xianyun Best Artifacts : 4-piece Viridescent Venerer . Xianyun Best team comp : Xiao , Furina , Faruzan . Image credit : HoYoverse It can take a lot of time to farm for the materials needed to get Xianyun to her full potential , but she could be a worthy addition to your roster if you 're in need of an Anemo Swirler with healing capabilities and huge plunging damage enhancements for your team . Good luck levelling up Xianyun in Genshin Impact ! Jessica Orr : Jessica is a guides writer from Northern Ireland who likes screaming at her TV .

The Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station 3-in-1 Foldable Pad is a cleverly designed and travel-friendly palm-size wireless charger . There 's a high price to pay , but this cost is justified by the convenience , quality , and good charging speeds , making it a worthy investment if you 're looking for a compact charger for home and away . The Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station 3-in-1 Foldable Pad is a travel-friendly Qi2 MagSafe charger with charging modules for an iPhone and AirPods , and a certified Apple Watch fast-charging module . It has a retail price of $89.99 / ? 89.99 / AU$199.99 on the Anker website and can be purchased at Amazon too . The material of the Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station 3-in-1 Foldable Pad looks and feels high-quality , and the patented design is well-considered . I was particularly happy to see Anker has incorporated materials that could reduce their environmental impact by using 75% PCR ( post-consumer recycled ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Station 3-in-1 Foldable Pad . It took mere moments to fold the MagGo Wireless Charging Station 3-in-1 Foldable Pad down small enough to fit in the palm of my hand , and the magnets were strong enough to withstand the depths of my bag but easy to pull apart when needed . It was not so easy to remove the iPhone from the charging pad , however , unless I had two free hands to pry them apart and stop the charging pad from hitting the table once separated . Although I liked the novel UFO-meets-macaron aesthetic , I found the charger moved easily when laid flat to charge three devices , especially when placing or removing the iPhone and Apple Watch . The charging module for the latter made me the most uncomfortable , as I could hear the outer surface scraping on the table each time it moved . It got a little marked from the rough surface of the table I photographed it on -- fortunately it wiped off easily and there did n't appear to be any scratches , but I 'd still advise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has an all-in-one band or a sturdy strap is left fastened , as the charger 's silicone strap enables the Apple Watch charging module to tilt upwards , allowing upright charging . I 'm not really a fan of flat wireless chargers -- unless it 's a charging pad I can comfortably hold in my hand like the Anker MagGo Wireless Charger Pad . However , I was pleased to discover the Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station 3-in-1 Foldable Pad could be made into a stand by attaching the Apple Watch charging module to the back of the iPhone module . It 's not a perfect solution as the phone can only be landscape and there 's only one viewing angle , but as Anker 's point was to facilitate StandBy mode , it does the job . ( Image credit : Cesci Angell / Future ) I 've tested a fair amount of wireless chargers that seemed to take themselves too literally . This is n't the end of the world if they charge efficiently with any cable and adapter , but some require the latter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wo n't be adding the Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station 3-in-1 Foldable Pad to that list , as it comes with a 40W adapter and a conveniently long 5 ft / 1.5 m USB-C to USB-C cable too . The Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station 3-in-1 Foldable Pad took a commendable hour and fifty-six minutes to fully charge an 3,095mAh iPhone 13 Pro , which is almost twenty minutes faster than the Anker 3-in-1 Cube with MagSafe . The Apple Watch charging speed was good too , taking just an hour and three minutes to recharge my Apple Watch Series 9 , only one minute shy of the fastest MagSafe charger I 've tested to date , the Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station 3-in-1 Stand . In closing , I really quite like the Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station 3-in-1 Foldable Pad . Certain aspects may not be entirely to my preference , but it 's well -- made out of good-looking materials , and the patented design makes it conveniently easy to fold up and pack away . It 's pretty pricey , for sure , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ size , and light weight , you 're getting value for money here . If you 'd like to explore other MagSafe charger options , I 'd recommend checking out our pick of the best wireless chargers . You want a small and convenient travel-friendly wireless chargerThis charger is easy to fold down to a satisfyingly small size , making it perfect to pack away quickly whether you 're off on your travels or taking it to the office to keep your phone juiced up as you work . You want something minimal but efficientDespite its clever design , this Anker charger keeps things fairly simple with just three wireless modules linked together with silicone straps . Its ability to fold down into a stand to charge the iPhone alone is a great space-saver too , if that 's the device you 'll charge most often . You want a wireless charger you can use one-handedAs there 's no weight to this Anker charger and no grippy base to keep it in place , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ charging pad . So if you 're someone like me who needs access to their phone regularly while working , it could prove irritating after a while . You want a cheap 3-in-1 charging solutionAs much as I like this charger , there 's no hiding the fact it 's very expensive . The price is reasonable for those wanting a compact and high-quality travel charger with good charging speeds , but if your budget is half as much as this , there are other options out there . Mous MagSafe Compatible 3-in-1 Portable ChargerFor around half the price of this travel-friendly Anker charger , you could purchase this pocket-sized portable charger that folds down to around the size of a credit card and is only 0.5 inches / 13.4mm deep . It 's certainly not the fastest charger out there , but if cost and convenience are the priority over fast charging , this little 3-in-1 charger is worth a look .

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

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'make a loss out of running this site' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a general outcome without the specific semantic and syntactic properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Controversial plans to turn a Dewsbury pub into new housing have been given the green light by Kirklees Council . The Woolpack Inn at Whitley Road announced its shock closure in December 2022 . This was put down to a combination of difficult factors , from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic to the cost of living crisis and the soaring costs and decline in trade that resulted . Locals had strongly opposed the application to develop four properties in the once-popular pub since it emerged , with 69 objections made to the council . Concerns were raised over the loss of a community asset , with some alleging that the owners had deliberately run the pub down in order to push ahead with the plans . However , Mr Ray Parker , Principal Director of Ray Parker and Co. , which owns the pub , told yesterday 's ( March 13 ) District-wide Planning Committee meeting that this simply was not the case , outlining the trading history of the establishment . Mr Parker @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2002 , with it consistently making " significant losses " despite substantial investment and numerous tenants . He said that his company purchased the pub in 2016 " naively " thinking they could finally make the Woolpack thrive , drawing upon their success at their other premises - the Blacksmiths Arms , Kirkheaton - but had been unable to do so , despite investing around ? 500k . He added : " The pub simply is not viable and has n't been for the past 23 years ... I think as a professional in the industry , I would not wish to see any other person or company make a loss out of running this site , frankly . " The pub had been put on the market for a 10-week stint last year , receiving no requests to view , no bids and no expressions of interest . Kirklees Council felt that this adequately demonstrated the unviability of the business , with officers recommending the housing plan be approved . He added : " It does sound to me like another pub is going by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on numerous occasions , we have to sit back and go well - have you done everything you can - and on this occasion I 'd say more so than previous . You have . There 's also other pubs run and kept alive and done well . " Councillor Mohan Sokhal ( Labour , Greenhead ) , was also in support of the application . He said that nobody would get any benefit from the building if it is left as it is and is allowed to be run down . Councillor Eric Firth ( Labour , Dewsbury East ) said he understood the feelings of locals but ultimately agreed with the recommendation for approval and the views of his colleagues . He added : " ... it makes good use of a building that will never ever be a public house again . " |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'get' is transitive and selects an NP object 'a lot of pleasure', but it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Additionally, the NP object 'a lot of pleasure' does not function as a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'watching my son ride a festival winner'. Therefore, this sentence is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Whether it 's Black Bag or Babygirl , Flight Risk or Love Hurts , you simply can not avoid thrillers .

BFI Player/ Prime Video Advertisement Guy Pearce as Leonard in Memento ALAMY The beguiling lure of this whip-smart neo-noir is that it seems to unfold from within the mind of its vengeful amnesiac protagonist , Leonard Shelby ( Guy Pearce ) . Playing simultaneously forwards ( in black and white ) and backwards ( in colour ) , it is fractured , unnerving and relentlessly compelling .

Giorgi Chakvetadze sent a right-footed 25-yard free kick narrowly off target , prior to the Hornets carving a better opportunity midway through the first half .

Five minutes into the second period , Placheta did well to keep the ball alive on the right-hand byline , and his deep cross reached Dembele , who shot wide at the back post . A long-range free kick from Imran Louza flew over the crossbar , and the same player went closer a few minutes later when he crashed a low , left-footed effort just wide from the edge of the box .

With 10 minutes left on the clock , Hornets centre back Abankwah fouled Placheta and was shown his second yellow card of the afternoon , and United took advantage by nudging in front a couple of minutes later .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It describes an action where a header brought a save out of Cumming, but there is no VP2[-ing] predicate involved, nor does it fit the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The visitors had the first sniff of goal when with seven minutes on the clock , a left-footed Tom Ince shot from just outside the penalty box was blocked and the ball sailed narrowly over the crossbar . Will Vaulks then went in strong for a 50-50 challenge with Tom Dele-Bashiru , allowing United to launch a counter-attack from the halfway line , with the move resulting in Placheta cutting infield onto his left foot and directing a low strike wide . Giorgi Chakvetadze sent a right-footed 25-yard free kick narrowly off target , prior to the Hornets carving a better opportunity midway through the first half . Moussa Sissoko was slipped through on goal , but he was unable to make proper contact with the ball , allowing Jamie Cumming to do enough to thwart the former Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder . The U 's then had their best opportunity of the half just before the half hour mark , as Brannagan clipped in a corner and Nelson headed over when he arguably should 've hit the target . At the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Chakvetadze fizzed an effort wide from the left channel of the penalty box . The teams then exchanged strike from outside the area , as Dele-Bashiru shot from a central area , with Cumming claiming it in his midriff , while Brannagan drove a low , left-footed effort into the gloves of Egil Selvik . In first half injury time , a Francisco Sierralta header brought a good save out of Cumming , and then Ince shot low into the gloves of the United goalkeeper a few moments later . Five minutes into the second period , Placheta did well to keep the ball alive on the right-hand byline , and his deep cross reached Dembele , who shot wide at the back post . A long-range free kick from Imran Louza flew over the crossbar , and the same player went closer a few minutes later when he crashed a low , left-footed effort just wide from the edge of the box . With 67 minutes on the clock , Rowett made his first changes , as Peter Kioso and Tyler Goodrham replaced @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ter Avest move across to left back , Ciaron Brown partner Michal Helik at centre half , and Kioso slot in at right back . Within 10 minutes of coming on , Goodrham found himself in space just outside the box , however his left-footed strike lacked conviction and was easily claimed by Selvik . With 10 minutes left on the clock , Hornets centre back Abankwah fouled Placheta and was shown his second yellow card of the afternoon , and United took advantage by nudging in front a couple of minutes later . As the U 's appealed for a foul on the edge of the area , but Dembele played on and produced a powerful finish which flew past Selvik .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'Campaigners' is the NP subject, 'claimed' is V1, 'Glaswegians' is the NP object, and 'being priced out of living in the city centre' is the VP2[-ing] predicate.

The verb 'claimed' fits into the category of verbs that appear in the V1 slot by means of verbal persuasion or assertion. The NP object 'Glaswegians' functions as a causee who is affected by the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction with 'Glaswegians' as the NP object and 'living in the city centre' as the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the action of being priced out prevents Glaswegians from living in the city centre. The verb 'priced' can be categorized under the means of exerting force or pressure, fitting the semantic classification of verbs in the V1 slot. The NP subject 'Campaigners' is an animate agent, and the construction is used in a passive voice, which aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not exhibit the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it discusses a legal ruling about making immigration files public and mentions Prince Harry's admission of drug taking, which theoretically affects his eligibility for a US visa. There is no instance of a verb followed by an NP object and 'out of' with a VP[-ing] predicate that would fit the transitive out of -ing construction.

Prince Harry admitted drug taking in his book Spare - which in theory should rule him out of getting a US visa ( Image : PA Wire/PA Images ) A court has ruled that documents related to the Duke of Sussex 's US visa application must be made public by Tuesday . The order was given by Judge Carl Nichols as part of an ongoing Freedom of Information ( FOI ) request initiated by the conservative US think tank , the Heritage Foundation . The organisation , based in Washington DC , questioned why Harry was permitted entry into the US in 2020 following his admission of cocaine , marijuana and psychedelic mushroom use in his book Spare . According to court filings dated March 15 , Judge Nichols instructed the US Department of Homeland Security to release redacted versions of the documents no later than Tuesday . ?

The Heritage Foundation suggested that the duke may have hidden previous illegal drug use that should have disqualified him from obtaining a US visa . Critics previously insisted that Harry 's history of drug use should have been declared on his US visa application due to the implications it has for governmental integrity . ?

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'opting out of' which is a phrasal verb followed by a gerund, but lacks an NP object that functions as a causee. Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Formula 1 and Netflix producers have come to the defence of ' Drive to Survive ' amid sharp criticism from top drivers Lando Norris and Max Verstappen . Verstappen has long been vocal about his disdain for the show 's dramatised , Hollywood-style flair , even opting out of participating in some seasons entirely . One scene from the latest edition depicted the four-time world champion appearing distraught over Lando Norris ' first win in Miami -- yet eagle-eyed viewers noted he was wearing a cap he only donned at Zandvoort last year .

Rwanda and Belgium severed diplomatic ties Monday , as EU ministers agreed a list of sanctions against Rwandan military commanders and members of a Rwanda-backed rebel group in the Democratic Republic of Congo . Belgium-Rwanda relations have grown increasingly tense as Rwanda-backed M23 rebels have rapidly moved into eastern Democratic Republic of Congo , or DRC , which is rich in natural resources , capturing the key cities of Goma and Bukavu and forcing thousands to flee the region . DRC 's government said 7,000 people have been killed in the fighting . The EU sanctions list , decided Monday by a foreign affairs ministers meeting in Brussels , targets persons holding leading positions in the Rwanda Defense Force and M23 , and a refinery accused of illegally trafficking natural resources from eastern DRC .

" This is not a ' Rwanda-bashing ' exercise as some are trying to depict it -- but a listing in reaction to those violating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Still , also on Monday , Rwanda 's Foreign Affairs Ministry announced it had decided to sever diplomatic ties with Belgium and demanded that diplomats leave the country within 48 hours . Belgium had sided with the Democratic Republic of Congo in the conflict and " continues to systematically mobilize against Rwanda in various forums , using lies and manipulation to create an unjustified hostile opinion towards Rwanda , " the ministry 's statement read , which also took aim at Belgium 's " pathetic attempts to maintain its neocolonial illusions . " Belgium hit back with similar measures , with Belgian Foreign Affairs Minister Maxime Pr ? vot saying the country will declare Rwanda 's diplomats persona non grata and denounce government cooperation agreements . Rwanda 's move " is disproportionate and shows that when we disagree with Rwanda they prefer not to engage in dialogue , " Pr ? vot said .

The sanctions are a " first step , " but the bloc should take further measures , the EU diplomat said . The critical raw materials text is under review , although it 's not clear whether the Commission will take further steps to suspend it . Rwanda had already suspended a bilateral cooperation program with Belgium in February , saying Belgium had aimed to sabotage its access to developing funding . " Following Rwanda 's violation of the territorial integrity of the DRC , we were in the process of reviewing our cooperation with a view to taking decisive measures in response to this situation , " Pr ? vot commented then . |

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('The change led to swathes of families to opt out of claiming the benefit altogether'). It has a prevention interpretation, where the change caused families to prevent themselves from claiming the benefit. The verb 'led' fits into the category of verbs that exert force or pressure metaphorically. The NP subject 'The change' is an inanimate force, and the NP object 'swathes of families' functions as a causee. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Working at HELLO ! magazine , I have been able to write about visiting some amazing destinations over the years . But when I tied the knot and my husband and I discussed our dream honeymoon spot - it was an easy choice . Fortunately , there was one country that had been at the top of both of our bucket lists for a long time - one that combined adventure and sightseeing with that little dollop of luxury . As one of the countries that waited the longest before reopening their borders after the COVID pandemic , Japan seems to be at the top of many people 's lists this year . Here 's why it was the ultimate honeymoon vacation - and head to the bottom of the review for all of the tips and tricks we learned there to make your stay easier and more fun ... Days 1-3 in Tokyo Days 4-6 in Hakone Days 6-9 in Kyoto Day 9-10 in Hiroshima Day 10-12 in Osaka Days 12 - 14 in Beppu Day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Arriving after a 14-hour flight is a slightly harrowing experience , especially if , like me , flying is not your friend . However , if there 's one rule of jet lag , it 's to not let yourself go for a nice long snooze mid-afternoon , so out into Tokyo we went ! Our first port of call was a shopping district , where we went to a huge , charming book store to get a sense of the area , and out of the rain . After a Sakura-themed coffee in the book shop 's Starbucks , we tried our luck walking into a hole-in-the-wall ramen place complete with a vending machine ordering service . A big thing in Japan are dipping the noodles in the broth . You get broth , you get ramen . Pop the ramen in the broth , add more hot water if you need to , and enjoy ! We decided it would be okay if we went back to the hotel , but just to hang @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lucky enough to be offered a two-night stay at Tokyo EDITION Toranomon , a truly special hotel in the heart of the city - and as our first experience in the country , we could not have come away with a better impression , or have been more excited to enjoy our next two weeks . The hotel is in Minato City , and with the reception being on 31st floor , you are pretty much guaranteed to have a great view no matter what floor you 're on . My husband and I stood , speechless , as we walked in our room only for the blinds to automatically open to the spectacular view - as pictured ! The rooms are huge and very comfortable , with two double beds , a comfy sofa , a widescreen television and all of the bells and whistles to control your little corner of the world right by your bed . After a tiny little two-hour snooze ( oops ) , we decided to check out some of the facilities at the hotel thanks to the constant rainfall and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ early night . The hotel 's pool and jacuzzi area was just what the doctor ordered , a relaxing oasis in the heart of the city where the warm floors , comfy loungers , bright blue pool and bubbling hot tub had to truly relaxing after a long time in the skies . Book the hotel yourself here ! After our dip , we decided to put our best foot forward and venture to the hotel 's glam but welcoming bar area , all in the name of staying awake ( and trying delicious cocktails ) . While my husband Rory tried some delicious craft beer from Tokyo ( which he has described for the sake of my review as ' hoppy and refreshing ' , I tried the cocktail ' Greenish Wine ' and it was amazing . By this time , the sun had gone down and the lights of Tokyo stretched out beneath us - and honestly , it felt like something out of a dream . Either that or I had let my eyes close for a few minutes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ search of some dinner , only to find ourselves in another bar ( whoops ! ) This time , the bartender , Sam , wandered over to say hello , and , learning it was our honeymoon , taught us the word ' cheers ! ' and showed us photos of his favourite pub in the UK . After a pitstop to 7/11 for some snacks , we celebrated making it to 10pm by promptly falling into a delicious sleep . After a sensational breakfast at the EDITION complete with a special banana and chocolate waffle wishing us a special honeymoon , and a lovely photograph of us printed in a card from our waitress , the fabulous Tuyet , we took off the explore the city properly . We spotted some cherry blossom As the weather had cleared up from the previous day 's rainfall , we started off by seeking out cherry blossoms ( also called sakura ) and the xx park . We actually found some , which was very exciting considering @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tourist hot spots in Tokyo SIDENOTE : A word of advice that I wish we 'd known , when they say sakura AKA cherry blossom season is late March to early April , they mean early April . It might have been an unseasonably late blossom , but when we left on 27th March , we had still hardly seen any ! After a lovely morning discovering the nature of the city , we delved swiftly into its craziness with the afternoon spent in Harajuku , one of Tokyo 's most famous shopping distracts and it was just so cool . The street that everyone wants to find is called Takeshita Street , and is full of animal cafes , cutesy stores , mad T-shirts , basically any sort of Japan souvenir you could ever dream of bringing home to impress your family and friends . From there , we were a reasonably short walk from the famous Shibuya Crossing , where there is a great mix of high street shops full of fun fashions , and your higher end stuff like Gucci and Marc Jacobs , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ One thing we both noticed was just how trendy Tokyo is - every single person had their best fashion foot forward , and I shopped more than I care to admit to try and recreate their chic , minimalist style . For an amazing vantage point of the crossing , head up to Shibuya Sky where you can have a drink and watch the commuters in their thousands . For music lovers , be sure to pop into Tower Records and marvel at the several floors of records , CDs , vinyls , tapes , merchandise and more . My husband was very pleased with himself after finding a sensational sushi restaurant with amazing reviews , Sushi M. He was n't , however , totally clued up about the price . The dinner was absolutely incredible ; the entire place held about ten diners who sit around the sushi bar and watch the brilliant chef Junya Hashimoto at work . We had the most exquisite tasting menu with wine pairing , which included champagne , sake and red wine in a glass the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would warn is that the check will be a hefty one - so be prepared ! After being filled with delicious sushi , scallops , desserts and wine , we headed out to enjoy a classic Japanese pastime - karaoke ! With one of Sushi M 's waiters spotting us heading the wrong way and rushing out to point us in the right direction to have some fun , we landed on a cheap but cheerful karaoke bar where we sang to our heart 's content - and had the best time doing so . More tourism ! We woke up first thing to head to the Imperial Palace and it 's beautiful grounds , a must visit as a piece of calm in the middle of a very built up city . We then headed to the Senso-ji temple , a famous spot for tourism which was probably the most crowded place that we went to on our entire trip . At the temple , there were plenty of food stalls selling tasty snacks as well as shops full of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ read our fortunes outside of the temple . Speaking of tourism , in the afternoon we headed over to Lab Planets Tokyo , which chances are , you have already seen if you have an Instagram account and any of your followers went there . The art installation makes you ' a part ' of the experience , and while it is very fun - you have to go barefoot and wade knee deep through water , roll around in one room that is essentially one giant duvet , and finally relax in a flower power experience - it is an Instagram content factory where everyone is trying to get their shot . That being said , it 's a lot of fun - and who said I did n't love an Insta post ? ! On the advice of a pal , we went to the Omoide Yokoch , a famous spot in Tokyo known for its array of izakayas . Crowds aside , it was a pretty magical place full of lanterns , lights and blossoms , and we found a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on sticks ) , before venturing to another izakaya for more small plates of goodness , including bacon tomato , chicken neck and cow tongue . Yum ! Next up we visited the Golden Gai area , which was one of our favourite places to venture out and I would heartily recommend . The whole place had a cool , trendy , boozy vibe , and our suspicions were confirmed that this was definitely our cup of tea when we hit up the King Biscuit Whiskey Bar , an awesome jazz bar where we got chatting to other punters and the bar and were treated to our first taste of Highballs , a popular Japanese whiskey-based cocktail . We then ventured to a bar called Open Book , which was something out of a Harry Potter book in that it was almost completely hidden and we nearly missed it . With no signs and a nondescript sliding door , we were amazed to find the floor to ceiling book cases and vibes inside . The bar tender was a bit grumpy , but it was worth it for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to six : Hakone After a brilliant morning at the Tsukiji Nippon Fish Port Market , where I had probably the best sushi of my entire life from a tiny unassuming restaurant , we were onto our next location ! With Tokyo being the vibrant city that never stops , we took a break from the busy cities by heading to the Japanese countryside in Hakone , a relatively short journey via Shinkansen train . It instantly feels different being away from the big city , with my husband commenting that it felt like visiting a ski resort as the bus we jumped on from the station lumbered up through the hills . The area is famous for it 's hot spring baths , known as onsens , so we booked a hotel that was all about that onsen life . We stayed at the Hakone Ashinoko Hanaori , a hotel right by Lake Ashi which has beautiful views . While the staff were wonderfully kind and welcoming , it felt odd to be in such a zen of quiet so soon after the vigour of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ game , playing games , heading for stints in the onsen , and chilling by the outdoor area with our feet in dangling in a warm footpath . After feeling suitably chilled out , we took on Hakone sightseeing , which was both a lot of fun and very challenging . Our favourite stops were the Open Air Museum , full of cool and intriguing sculptures and fun to see on a bright , warm day , and the Owakudani , which has a dynamic smokey hills which make you feel like you 're taking the ring to Mordor - and their famous black sulphuric egg , which local legend say will add five years to your life if you try . I would strongly recommend getting a hire car for this leg of the trip . With a lack of taxis , we ended up getting the bus which had the Owakudani detour as part of its route , and so we spent over an hour stuck in deadlock traffic heading to the tourist spot when we knew our hotel was about a seven-minute drive away @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say the least ! And before you ask - no , the bus driver would n't let us off so that we could walk it instead . Aside from the black sulphuric egg , you mean ? In Hakone , we got a trips-worth of delicious tempura for lunch at the row of restaurants by Mount Ashi . Our favourite was Soba Kihinkan , where we sat on mats in the floor and tried out our Japanese with a couple of new pals ! Otherwise , we found eateries were thin on the ground in our particular area , and stuck to the hotel 's buffet service for dinner . Kyoto is an absolute must-visit if you 're going to visit Japan at all , and probably was the closest to how I imagined Japan before I visited . While plenty of the huge area is very modern , the Gion district is a popular draw for tourists - so much so that since my trip they have announced new rules for the area for tourists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you have the most up-to-date advice about where you can and ca n't go - but the traditional area is a must-visit . The district is a tourist hot spot for a reason , and I 'd recommend checking out the Fushimi Inari Taisha , Kinkaku-ji buddhist temple and Kyoto Imperial Palace as well as the bridge featured in Memoirs of a Geisha ! The city is also the home of the famous tea ceremonies , which we enjoyed trying out during one of the rainy days we spent visiting . Another fabulous area to visit is Arashiyama , the home of a beautiful bamboo forest as well as a delightful monkey sanctuary . The surrounding streets and shops offer Japanese sweet treats you could only dream about , so do n't have a big breakfast before visiting ! SIDENOTE : The Arashiyama Bamboo Forest is a fabulous tourist spot for a good reason , but also means that it can get very busy very quickly . To lose the crowds , we 'd suggest waking up a couple of hours early and heading to this home @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Make sure you stop at the Fushimi Inari Taisha to do some shopping for knick knacks to take home with you - although there are stores aplenty in the surrounding area . My mum in particular was thrilled when we picked up a tanuki , the little raccoon dog which famously adorns Japanese residences and businesses while promising good fortune . Mum 's is now named Sweetpea and happily lives under a specially planted Japanese maple tree in her garden . Okay so as the chief organiser of the trip , here 's where I messed up . If you 're planning your trip via this review , make sure you go Tokyo - Hakone - Kyoto - Osaka then Hiroshima . I get lost on an escalator , my geography is bad , and I ended up added time to our train trips going back and forth the way we came with this particular part of the trip . But anyway ! Onto our time in Hiroshima ... We thought that Hiroshima was an essential part of the trip , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was . The Peace Museum and park is a fascinating insight into what it was like on the ground when USA 's atomic bomb hit the city in 1945 , and devastating is n't strong enough a word to describe the destruction of the city and the people in it - for decades after the initial attack . It was incredibly sobering and very worth taking the journey . We were told that the okonomiyaki was in a league of its own in Hiroshima , so we stood for over an hour in the freezing rain at one of the best restaurants to see how true it was . The dish is incredible . A pancake filled with noodles , cooked on a hot plate with any topping you like . What 's not to love ? One of my favourite destinations during the whole trip , and set to be huge in 2025 and it hosts the World 's Expo , Osaka is an absolute must to add to your itinerary if you want to visit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as ' Japan 's kitchen ' , and the locals take the moniker seriously , as the entire vibe there is yelling , ' food food food ' ! As well as glorious culture - we loved visiting Osaka Castle and the surrounding park - I could n't sing the praises of the Dotonbori area enough - and you simply have to check it out if you make a stop in the city . The area not only has some tourist hot spots - including the Glico running man - it is one of the best places to go to try all of the restaurants , izakayas and street food available although , word of warning , you will never in 100 years be able to go everywhere . The whole vibe screams party , with countless tiny bars promising whisky high balls and karaoke , and it feels like each glittering street of 3D signage and neon lights leads you to another even bigger , more lavish street in a never-ending sprawl . The markets are also a lot of fun for landing some fantastic tourist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Japanese are famous for , and was also , incidentally , where I learned that H&M and Uniqlo in Japan is significantly cheaper than in the UK - so make sure you 've paid for extra luggage on the way home ! To help us make sense of this amazing , sprawling city , we took a food tour at Kuromon Market with the delightful Aiko who taught us all about the area 's culture , hidden treats we 'd never have found otherwise , and taking us through the markets and showing us the greatest grub - which was a really fun way to see the city As one of booking.com 's top destinations of 2024 , we could n't resist going slightly further afield to Beppu . Located in the southern Japanese island of Kyushu , Beppu is famous for being one of the most miraculous parts of the country due to its abundance of hot springs . To travel to Japan for the first time is to go sightseeing , there are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two weeks of hopping from city to city and seeing everything there was to see , Rory and I knew that a bit of downtime in the lap of luxury was needed , and we lucked out after being invited to visit to ANA Intercontinental in Beppu . The gorgeous hotel , located high in the hills of the city , showcases not only terrific views , but every little detail was thought out to make our stay as pleasant as comfortable as possible . The room was decked with a glamorous mini bar as well as a frankly enormous marble bathroom fit for a queen , as well as a wide balcony to take in the magnificent views . True to form as the onsen connoisseurs that we had become , we hit up the spectacular onsen , full of rock pools and mini hot tub pods against the backdrop of the sprawling city and ocean beneath . We were also treated to a private onsen session , which is a must-do as honeymooners - particularly considering the public ones are not mixed genders . With an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the wind by enjoying the facilities through a rainstorm . Learning that the hotel was award-winning for it 's spa treatments , we threw our honeymoon holiday budget out of the window and opted for a couple of gorgeous deep tissue massages . Book the hotel here . Since the weather was fairly foggy and rainy , we decided not to venture out of the hotel and make the most of our downtime in the hotel . As such , we gorged ourselves during a fantastic afternoon tea at the hotel 's Club Lounge , where we were frankly ply 'd with champagne and treats . We also had a stunning dinner at the hotel 's ( ADD DETAILS ) Atelier restaurant , where we sat and watched the chefs carefully at work to create our stunning dishes , including wagyu beef and salmon gnocchi . It 's a long way to get back to Tokyo from Beppu , so our train journey required a pit stop , and we agreed that the lush , forest-filled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do it . Famed for it 's incredible beef , we also tried out a tradition Ryokan for the first time during our stay . Ryokans are traditional Japanese hotels , and we did n't know what to expect - but had a great time . First of all , you leave your travel-battered trainers behind upon entering the hotel , instead donning a pair of slippers for your stay . With a lovely , steaming hot onsen on the property , it seemed that the traditional kimono found in the wardrobe were the way to go . One of the more hilarious confusions when we were shown our room was that there did n't appear to be a bed . However , after a gorgeous meal of Kobe and Wagyu beef , we returned to find traditional futons laid out on the floor . After much photo taking , it was actually a very comfy night sleep . 10/10 would recommend ! Our short but sweet final couple of days in Japan before returning to the UK were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Braving the weather , we went back to Harajuku for all of the many souvenirs we promised we 'd pick up at the start of our trip , before running for cover at our hotel . In the morning , we made a short but sweet trip during a moment of sunshine to Hamarikyu Gardens and stretched our legs before the long flight home . Trust Google - but not too much . While handy for getting from place to place , Google is not at its finest in Japan . We had a few instances of visiting a restaurant that Google stated was open only for it to be closed , so take it with a pinch of salt ! Almost all of the hotels in Japan include a pair of PJs . It 's great , enjoy - and do n't worry if you forget to bring your own ! I do n't know how we would have got around to all of our destinations if it was n't for renting a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ easy to get , and cost about ? 95 for 16 days for you to essentially have great WiFi throughout your trip . However , do get insurance . I lost the device on a train with just a couple of days left of the trip and once you 've filed it as lost at a police station ( there 's one at the airport ) . Mine was a special case , see above , but long story short , insurance means you wo n't have to pay a dime for what could be a hefty bill . If you want to drive there , you must get an International Driving Permit from your post office before you go . They are relatively inexpensive , and if you do n't have one you ca n't have the option of hiring a car ! We noticed that locals tend to really love it when you try and speak a bit of Japanese . It makes a big difference to show that you 've made a bit of effort and we got a real kick out of trying it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that you 're trying . There are loads of sites - and Duolingo - to help brush up with your phrases . Kanpai ! While plenty of places do accept card , many more only accept cash only . Be ready for it and have cash at hand . It 's super easy to sort out as all of the 7/11 convenience stores have ATMs and it is either free or a very small fee to withdraw money if you have a Monzo account . 1000 yen equates to about ? 5. 10,000 yen is about ? 50 . The quick maths was very helpful for me in shops when I tried to work out what on earth I was spending on things like the cat eating ramen T-shirt that I could n't live without . Take your passport out with you ! Plenty of places will offer you tax free if you show it to them . Particularly excellent for shopping and feeling like you 've landed a bargain . The best restaurants typically @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were essentially tourist trapped this way ( paying triple what we 'd paid for drinks everywhere else ) . Do yourself a favour a check out where is popular , that 's where you want to be , even if it involves a little queuing . Some walk-in restaurants do n't serve tourists , will tell you ' no English ' ( or there will be signs ) . It 's obviously a bit disappointing , but do n't take it personally . Plenty of places want your custom , so if you are told no , just find the next spot . Speaking of queuing , if you can reserve a table then go for it as there are countless restaurants but often very small - and the good ones very busy ! The hotel staff are always super helpful in calling up on your behalf if there is a language barrier . Speaking of hotel staff , ask them for their recommendations too . They know all of the best places and we did n't encounter a single person who was n't keen to help @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spots this way . There are so many to choose from that it does n't hurt to do research so you can make the most of your dining experiences . Check out blogs , Instagram - and hey , this article ! If you 're short on time or pennies , let me reassure you that the convenience stores in Japan are not like they are in the UK . The food is delicious and cheap - great for if you need something in a pinch . We were absolute suckers for their egg mayo sandwich - gorgeous ! While incredibly ahead of the curve with many things , Japan is very old school when it comes to ticketing . While I expected some sort of phone QR code situation that would cater for all of my ticket needs , pretty much everything is a printed paper ticket . ( I should add , it was much easier than I expected it to buy tickets as and when I needed using the ticket machines at the station , plus there was always a very patient @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an hand . You also do n't need to worry about messing up your ticket by mistake . If you go wrong , there are also ' fare adjustment ' stations where you can sort it all out . The JR Pass is great , if expensive , if you are travelling on plenty of bullet trains during your trip , so I 'd recommend getting one and not having to worry about getting around . Order one in advance from here , then all you will need is the email . Take it to the desk at Haneda Airport ( again , very easy to find but there 's a big information desk if you need directions on arrival ) , and they 'll issue you the ticket for your tip . The only issue with the JR Pass is that it was a particularly stressful ticket to hold onto because if you lose it then it 's tough luck . Be sure you keep it in a safe place ! |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate structure. Instead, it uses 'get out of seeing friends' where 'get out of' is followed by a gerund, but there is no clear NP object functioning as a causee, and it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The City of London is being " stalked " by fears of a recession , as official figures show the UK economy shrank by 0.1% in January -- a blow to Labour 's growth ambitions . The unexpected contraction , reported by the Office for National Statistics , is a " sharp turnaround " after the " robust " 0.4% growth seen in December , said London 's The Standard . It comes just weeks before Chancellor Rachel Reeves is due to deliver her Spring Statement , which is expected to include further cuts in public spending to keep within her fiscal rules . What did the commentators say ? Reeves said Britain was " feeling the consequences " of global events , widely interpreted as a reference to Donald Trump 's imposition of trading tariffs and the ongoing Ukraine peace negotiations . But " worryingly " , the Office for National Statistics data covers a period before Trump " unleashed turmoil " on world stock markets with his punitive tariffs , said The Standard . Rather , " big slumps " in output from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ appear " largely to blame for the drop " . Tariffs might be disrupting the world economy , " but let 's not rewrite history here " , said Camilla Tominey in The Telegraph . Economists " all seem to agree " that the reason for Britain 's sluggish growth is that the government is " taxing the living daylights out of businesses " . Bosses are having to contend with " costly employment measures they can ill afford " , including an increase in employer National Insurance contributions and a hike in the minimum wage . But expect " more of this ' world forces beyond our control ' rhetoric " : Reeves is aware that a recession means she would " face legitimate calls to resign " . What next ? While the ONS figures do not " appear to point to a recession " yet , UK companies are operating against a " weak backdrop " , while also wrestling with the " uncertainty created by the White House 's on-off tariffs policies " , said The Guardian . The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the country will grow by 1.4% this year and just 1.2% next year , compared to the 1.7% and 1.3% it had previously estimated . The OECD does see Britain still growing , said The Spectator , " albeit painfully slowly " , but the downgrade will only add to fears that we could soon be " heading for recession " . QUOTE OF THE DAY Elusive graffiti artist Banksy , who is guest-editing a special edition of the Big Issue , says he could n't believe the " mainstream magazine " would let him turn " an entire issue into an anarchist zine " . The world 's climate has become more unpredictable , leading experts to coin the phrase " global weirding " -- an alternative to " global warming " that better reflects the wider spectrum of extreme weather related to climate change . Where did the term come from ? US political commentator Thomas Friedman popularised the term " global weirding " in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The rise in average global temperature is going to lead to all sorts of crazy things , " he said , " from hotter heat spells and droughts in some places , to colder cold spells and more violent storms , more intense flooding , forest fires and species loss in other places . " What does that look like ? Many places are experiencing " climate whiplash " -- extreme reversals of weather conditions , according to a new report by WaterAid . " Places accustomed to heavy rainfall are now facing droughts , while historically arid regions grapple with unexpected floods . " This whiplash can happen fast , too , with " droughts that dry up water sources followed closely by floods that overwhelm infrastructure " . Los Angeles , for example , recently experienced " two very wet winters " that " produced lots of grass and shrubs " , said Sky News . These were then " followed by a long , hot summer that dried out that vegetation , providing abundant , tinder-dry fuel " for what would become , at the turn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Why is it so dangerous ? Global weirding and climate whiplash are producing more powerful extreme weather phenomena . " Wherever we look around the world , we see that these weather events are getting supersized by climate change , and they 're putting us all at risk , " climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe told Space.com . And , in the longer term , global weirding " supercharges " the " water supply , sewage and flood-protection problems " faced by cities around the world " as their populations rapidly swell " , said The Guardian . In low-income nations , these shifting climate extremes make " the establishment of much-needed infrastructure " much harder . Even wealthier nations can be caught off-guard because of their reliance on " ageing infrastructure " that 's " designed for a climate that no longer exists " . The last English men 's football manager to lift a trophy above his head at Wembley was Harry Redknapp , when he won the FA Cup with Portsmouth in 2008 . Until yesterday -- when Eddie Howe 's Newcastle beat Liverpool @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ off something truly stunning " , and the reverberations of his astonishing tenure at St James ' Park will " echo through history " , said Luke Edwards in The Telegraph . But the Buckinghamshire-born manager 's triumph has once again turned attention towards a baffling question : where have all English football 's " home-grown " managers gone ? ' The best , no matter where they 're from'Howe is one of only two English managers in Premier League football , alongside Graham Potter at West Ham . The Premier League " is not really an English league but a global league that happens to be in England " , said Miguel Delaney in The Independent . The " ownership of the clubs is international " and those owners " want the best coaches , no matter where they 're from " . English football 's " coaching incentives and methods " are also behind those of their European counterparts , said Ben Littlemore on Transfermarkt . Coaching qualifications are far more expensive in the UK than they are on the continent , and only available through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that European countries have a much bigger pool of qualified coaches to draw from . ' Poster boy for success'The " infatuation with foreign coaches " and a refusal to give a chance to " so many good ones of our own " is difficult to understand , said Harry Redknapp in The Sun . And now we 're in a " catch-22 classic " , said the Daily Mail : the perception that English managers " do n't win major trophies " means they do n't secure the best jobs and , " without the best jobs , it 's impossible to win major trophies " . But perhaps the weekend 's Newcastle victory is the moment the tide starts to turn . In a Premier League " flooded with more fashionable foreign coaches " , said Edwards in The Telegraph , home-grown Howe has now become the " poster boy for success " .

What these foods all have in common -- apart from the same initial letter -- is that they are fermented and contain " microbes which are thought to boost gut health " . Given that a healthy gut microbiome has been linked to " everything from better digestion and brain health to reduced risk of cancer " , it 's little surprise these foods and drinks are having their " moment in the sun " . KefirMade with cultured kefir grains , this " yoghurt-like " milk drink has a " tangy taste " and a " creamy consistency " , nutritionist Eli Brecher told London 's The Standard .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'ruled them out of playing' involves an NP object 'them' and a VP2[-ing] 'playing', but the verb 'ruled' does not fit the semantic classes of verbs typically used in the construction (e.g., deception, force, persuasion). Additionally, the interpretation does not clearly align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Aston Villa academy product Brad Young is at the centre of an ongoing case involving his former club The New Saints and current employers Al-Orobah FC , in the former have claimed that the latter are yet to pay the fee agreed when the two clubs concluded his summer transfer . Ex-Villan Young moved to Saudi at the beginning of the season in a life-changing move having excelled in Wales ' top tier ; last season Young scored 29 goals in 35 appearances in all competitions to help TNS win the Cymru Premier and the League Cup , as well as securing the Golden Boot and the division 's young player of the season awards in the process . That form , which helped TNS earn Conference League football for this season - they played the likes of Fiorentina and Panathanaikos in the group stages of the competition which Villa partook in last year - attracted interest from the Saudi Pro League .

Al-Orobah were due to pay $150K and , when TNS did n't receive the first instalment , the former were told to pay up as well as 5% in interest . The Welsh outfit remain out of pocket and have released a hard-hitting statement to address the situation . " We thank FIFA for their continued work to ensure that Al-Orobah FC meet their contractual obligations , " TNS chairman Mike Harris ' statement read .

A loan move to Carlisle United followed , where he scored a couple of goals in the EFL Trophy and against non-league Horsham in the FA Cup .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'get' is transitive but the NP object 'a lot of joy' does not function as a causee, and the sentence does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it expresses the subject's enjoyment derived from an activity, which is not a characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'Taking the hassle out of camping' involves a gerund 'camping' but lacks an NP object that functions as a causee, and it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the aim of a business to remove hassle from camping, which is not the intended meaning of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Families are thrilled by the tents and their equipment . ( Image : Nights Under Canvas ) Taking the hassle out of camping is the aim of a family-run business in Pembrokeshire which hires out luxury tents throughout Wales . Nights Under Canvas was set up by Steven and Catrin Bradley during Covid , and since then , hundreds of happy glampers have been singing their praises . From staycations to weddings , Nights Under Canvas , which is based near Templeton , supplies and pitches a variety of tents -- from those to suit just two people , up to its Big Belle honeymoon venue and even a bubble tent for stargazing . Pitch-er perfect views from this tent .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'get the most out of spring' which is an idiomatic expression and does not involve a causee participating in an event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'get a swashbuckling kick out of sticking it to customers making fraudulent complaints' involves a transitive verb 'get' with an NP object 'a swashbuckling kick', but it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Additionally, the NP object 'a swashbuckling kick' does not function as a causee, and the construction does not align with the semantic requirements of the transitive out of -ing construction.

It is a nefarious tactic of the social media age : go to a restaurant , find a problem , demand special treatment . Spoken or unspoken , the threat is there : if the business does not oblige , they can look forward to a negative review on Google or Tripadvisor . Recently there have been signs that restaurateurs are fighting back . This week , the top chef Andrew Sheridan , who runs six restaurants across the Midlands and northwest , said he was tired of customers " trying it on " in the hope of money off . One woman had demanded a free meal and vouchers because a nearby pillar had obstructed her view . " She said she 'd had a lovely meal , with great wine and friendly service but the pillar -- a steel structure that stops a Grade II building from falling down which no one has ever complained about before -- spoiled her evening to the extent that she wanted a free meal and vouchers , " he told The Guardian . Another customer said the restaurant ought @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a bus lane on the way there . Chef Andrew Sheridan and his business partner Sam Morgan Last summer , Sheridan was blackmailed by criminals who threatened to swamp his restaurant 's online pages with one-star reviews unless he gave them ? 2,000 . He received widespread support after he went public with the situation . He makes a point of replying to unfair bad reviews explaining why they are wrong . " Unless we speak up about it , other people will bury their head in the sand , their businesses are going to get destroyed , " he told the BBC in July . " The public gives so much credence to online review platforms and you have got these people trying to destroy businesses . " Sheridan is not the only one taking matters into his own hands . A number of chefs and owners have expressed similar sentiments recently . At Dorian , in Notting Hill , the owner Chris D'Sylva admits to reviewing his guests , observing anyone who misbehaves -- or does n't spend much -- and making a note @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scourge is social media influencers , who demand free meals in exchange for posting about the restaurant . Even if they are paying for the meal , they will sit and not order much , wanting only to prove to their followers that they have been there . Gymkhana , the Michelin-starred Indian restaurant in Mayfair , recently introduced a ? 100 per head minimum spend to combat this trend . At Taste of Pakistan , in Hounslow , the owner Naseer Khan has become known for his withering replies to negative online reviews . " Looks like you left your taste buds at home , " he wrote in January , replying to a one-star review . " Since I kicked you out of Hounslow , Hounslow is way better now , " he wrote to another . " You are the guy who was intoxicated , you smelt so bad , the workers complained . " " I do n't believe the customer is always right , " Khan says . " If somebody is not right , you have to tell them . It 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ passionate about my restaurant . A lot of the one or two-star reviews do n't make a lot of sense . I 've had occasions where I 've had 11 one-star reviews in the space of a couple of hours . We 're not perfect . We do make mistakes sometimes . But if there 's a problem , you know about it yourself . " Jackie Wan , the owner of Forum Chinese restaurant in Great Shelford , Cambridgeshire , has gone to even more dramatic lengths to defend himself , reviewing CCTV footage to check complaints against what customers have said and " clarify " any " nonsense " . When one customer complained that their stir fry only contained four prawns , Wan replied with the exact time the customer and their partner ate each of their seven prawns . " From my limited calculating skills , I got seven pieces , which is the standard number of prawns for our main courses , " he wrote . " Have you forgotten the three pieces your partner had ? " Ed McIlroy , chef-owner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ London , says freebie chicanery is easy to detect . " You can always spot it a mile off . The most common tactic is lying about food poisoning and asking for a refund . I always just ask them to bring in a stool sample so I can get it checked . The funny thing is you 've got more chance getting something for free if you just ask me for it . " Adam Hyman , editor of the Good Food Guide , says that while these kinds of complaints are a small minority of guests , they tap into a national stereotype . " You get one or two idiots but most customers are nice , decent people , " he says . " But I think it also comes back to a very British trait which is that we never complain in restaurants . " We go on Tripadvisor or Instagram afterwards . If you talk to any restaurant they 'll say they welcome feedback and will do what they can to make it right . But if you wait and email and get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " While chefs and proprietors might get a swashbuckling kick out of sticking it to customers making fraudulent complaints , the reality is that online reviews remain important , particularly if the restaurant does not have other kinds of endorsement . " If you 're outside London you ca n't be as picky , " says Hyman . " Are you going to turn down a table just because they might not be the nicest people ? " It is all very well for a much-hyped spot in Notting Hill to be demanding about its customers , but most restaurants need all the business they can get with rising costs and hard-squeezed margins . " We are , in a healthy way , obsessed about our online reviews , " says Sam Hart , the founder of Harts Group , the restaurant group that includes El Pastor , Barrafina and Quo Vadis . " We look at our reviews online , restaurant managers respond to people , and we give bonuses to our team based on public customer feedback . When you are looking for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thing you see is the Google score , and it 's almost impossible not to be influenced by that a bit . " Of course , you do get some people who threaten us with bad reviews unless we comp them , and we take a pretty firm line with the threatening people . We 'll always try to resolve things in a satisfactory fashion for everybody , but we get shirty if people try to bully us . Some people complain about stuff we know 100 per cent just is n't fair or true . " However , it is a fine line to tread . " I have always thought that the restaurant 's job is to -- where at all possible -- make the customer always right , " Hart says . " When we start losing that degree of hospitality , it 's a bit dangerous . " For all the internet has enabled a minority of badly behaved diners , the old rules of being a customer still apply : be friendly , come often , and order a decent bottle of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is to be mates with the owner . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('the pupils on Zoom trying to get out of doing work'). The verb 'get' in the V1 slot can be interpreted as using nonspecific means to achieve the goal, fitting one of the verb classifications. The NP object 'the pupils' functions as a causee who is being prevented from 'doing work', which aligns with the prevention interpretation. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'So many Londoners' is the NP subject, 'are' is the V1 (a form of 'be'), 'priced' is part of the verb phrase indicating the means (by means of pricing), 'out of living in London's town centre' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It gives rise to a movement/extraction interpretation, meaning that Londoners are caused to move out of living in the town centre as if by pricing. The NP object is implied as the Londoners themselves, functioning as causees. Thus, it is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

I 'm just saying they have options : it is not as though they could n't afford to buy elsewhere . In fact , it 's a little ironic that what must have drawn people to move to Soho in the first place -- the art , the music , the culture , the life -- is now what they seem so desperate to fold away .

11 hours ago Eva Sandoval Zoonar GmbH / Alamy Stock Photo Tulip fields in Holland ( Credit : Zoonar GmbH / Alamy Stock Photo ) Nienke Panis-Ringersma has made a career out of following the region 's famous blooms . Here are her favourite ways to experience the season , from road trips to bulb picking . Few images are as indelible as the sight of candy-coloured tulips bursting through the dark winter ground . But in the Netherlands -- the world 's largest exporter of the magical bloom -- venerating tulips is a way of life . In the weeks leading from icy winter to spring , rows of flowers stud the country 's landscape in technicolour streaks , most famously in the Bollenstreek " Bulb Region " , stretching between the towns of Haarlem and Leiden , arching towards the North Sea . And with tulips come tourists ; eager to experience the blooms for themselves . The SpeciaList Nienke Panis-Ringersma is the owner of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which now also shares its tulip photos and weekly flower updates via X , Instagram and most recently TikTok . She is a licensed national tour guide , and her husband says she eats , sleeps and dreams tulips . We spoke to Nienke Panis-Ringersma , the lens behind the popular Dutch-based tulip photography blog , Tulips in Holland , to find the best tulip bloom experiences in the Netherlands . " People in the Netherlands are very down to earth , " says Panis-Ringersma , whose images and tulip facts receive thousands of likes per month on Facebook . " They are quite used to the flower fields . You know when it 's tourist season , because the roads are clogged with people on a bike who are not used to riding bikes . " Nonetheless , Panis-Ringersma adores her nation 's iconic bulb flower -- enough to have made it her career . " I think it 's the excitement , " she says . " It starts around December when we can buy tulips in the florist shops . And around the third weekend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 300,000 tulips are placed on the museum square in Amsterdam with a beautiful backdrop of the Rijksmuseum or the Van Gogh Museum . It 's the start of many tulip festivals leading up to the start of spring . It 's a magical place and I love the flower , the fragrance . Every tulip is unique . There is a great story to tell . " Here are Nienke Panis-Ringersma 's favourite ways to experience tulip season in the Netherlands . Serghei Starus / Alamy Stock Photo A stop at the iconic Keukenhof Gardens in Lisse is obligatory for any tulip lover visiting the Netherlands ( Credit : Serghei Starus / Alamy Stock Photo ) 1 . Best overall : Keukenhof " So , you ask for absolutely number one place ? Visit Keukenhof , " says Panis-Ringersma . Established in 1949 , Keukenhof Gardens is undoubtedly the most popular tulip experience in the Netherlands ; its lushly landscaped " inspirational " tulip gardens and windmills drawing over a million visitors each year during its eight-week season . " Around 7 million bulbs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ year , " says Panis-Ringersma , whose budding love for tulips was ignited by childhood visits to Keukenhof , where her grandfather volunteered as a ticket taker . " It 's the most beautiful spring garden in the world . " Responsible Flower Viewing Tourists , take note ; in the Netherlands , it 's illegal to park near or walk through tulip fields . " Flower fields are commercial fields , " says Panis-Ringersma . " You can damage crops by entering with your normal shoes , when you bring in bacteria , especially the hyacinths are very sensitive to that . And you do n't want to have people over in the fields taking photos , picking flowers over there . Some tourists think that the fields are for there for them . " Visitors enjoy a wide variety of experiences at Keukenhof including picnics , flower exhibitions and didactic " whisper boat " cruises through the gardens , where contemporary art sculptures dot the grounds . But plan ahead ; Keukenhof is open for just two months , usually from the first day of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the weather ( in 2025 , 20 March to 11 May ) . " The best time to go is the $1m question , " says Panis-Ringersma . " It 's different every year ... right now we have an extremely warm winter . I think the best time to visit for this year is around the middle of April . " To truly get swept up in the excitement of tulip season , be sure to catch the Bloemencorso Flower Parade . " A flower parade is a very festive flower festival , " says Panis-Ringersma . " It 's about 20 different floats , marching bands , cars very lavishly decorated with all kinds of flowers , people enjoying themselves , street entertainment ... every town is a very festive atmosphere . " Insider Bloemencorso Flower Parade tip Panis-Ringersma encourages visitors to also catch the events surrounding parade day . " Not many people know that there 's the Night Parade on Friday evening , " she says . " It 's in Noordwijkerhout , a very small town . People gather there to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have something to eat outside on the terrace . " During the Night Parade , the floats are illuminated , creating a magical atmosphere . And on float Construction Days ( Wednesday to Friday ) , spectators can watch volunteers decorate the floats with thousands of flowers . On Sunday afternoon , after the parade , the floats are displayed for one last time in the city of Haarlem . The Bloemencorso parade takes place each year on the third Saturday of April , marching along the road from Noordwijk to Haarlem , through the Bollenstreek and past Keukenhof . " It 's a full day , " says Panis-Ringersma . " People line up at least three four lines thick to see . Some people get their seats ready at least three hours before the parade to make sure ... it 's like a Disney parade . People are sitting down on the streets waiting for the parade to pass by . " Panis-Ringersma 's tip : watch from Noordwijk . " Lots of people try to see the parade around Keukenhof because it passes the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an extremely busy spot . Go to Noordwijk early in the morning . It 's a beautiful seaside town . " While waiting for the parade , feast on Dutch Stroopwafel cookies , or have lunch at Panis-Ringersma 's casual Dutch dining pick , Hudson Restaurant . " It 's a very festive day , " says Panis-Ringersma . " Every town is having markets ... it 's an absolute must-see for people traveling to the Netherlands . " For the best -- legal -- immersive tulip experiences , visit a tulip farm like the Tulip Barn in Hillegom with its 750,000 tulips ( Credit : AFF / Alamy Stock Photo ) 3 . Best interactive experience : Visiting a tulip farm For those who are n't satisfied merely admiring the blooms from afar , Panis-Ringersma suggests visiting a tulip farm . " Because everybody really wants to go into the fields , which is not allowed , " she says . " So , please go to a tulip farm where it is allowed ! " Panis-Ringersma 's three farm recommendations are all found @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are founded by bulb growers , " she says . " So , they know absolutely what they are doing . They 're all a very hands-on experience . " The family-run Tulip Experience in Noordwijkerhout is Panis-Ringersma 's first pick ; home to nearly 1 million tulips . " You can go to the field where you can see at least 700 different types of tulips , " says Panis-Ringersma . " You can visit the tulip market with all kinds of products made of tulips or with tulips on it . You can pick your own tulips . It 's a very fun experience . " What sort of tulip products ? " Beer with tulips , tulip vodka , tulip Aperol Spritz , soap smelling of tulips , vases , napkins with tulips , wallets with tulips , " she says . " If you can name it , everything with tulips . " Alternatively , visit Tulip Barn in Hillegom just 30 minutes outside of Amsterdam , where visitors can immerse themselves in the 750,000 tulips sprawling across the farm 's gardens and production @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ photos , " says Panis-Ringersma . " So , for a bit younger target audience . " Heading further south , Panis-Ringersma also likes De Tulperij in Voorhout . " You can go together with the bulb grower , " she says . " You 're walking into the fields . He will dig up some tulip bulbs and will show you how they are growing and what they are doing each year to make them grow . It 's a very interesting environment . " For visitors with antsy kids ( and a car ) , Panis-Ringersma loves tulip picking in the Bollenstreek . " Not in the regular fields where you can say as you 're walking , ' Oh , I like this one ! ' " she says . " No , just go to a to a picking farm and pick your own tulips . " Tulip Road Trip Map When roaming the Bollenstreek , it 's helpful to have a plan -- like Panis-Ringersma 's helpful tulip road trip map ; perfect for navigating the area by car or by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , " she explains . " All the yellow stars are flower fields . The pink line is a long route among various flower fields ; the blue is a route towards the beach . And when you drive by bike or by car , you will absolutely find tulip fields in bloom regardless the time of season during springtime . " There are several picking farms in the Bollenstreek area , but Panis-Ringersma recommends heading to Annemieke 's Pluktuin , a tulip nursery in Hillegom run by husband-and-wife team , Annemieke and Pieter . " Pluktuin is literally ' picking garden ' , " explains Panis-Ringersma . " Tulip picking is an absolutely brilliant experience , especially when you go with children to walk into the field and get the tulip with the bulb and you can take the bulb and the tulip with you back home or to the hotel . " For Panis-Ringersma , whose passion for tulip photography led her to become an expert in tulip horticulture , the Hortus Bulborum historical bulb garden in Limmen is a sacred institute of learning . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tulips , " says Panis-Ringersma . " It 's not native to the Netherlands but people think it is . " Tulips are , in fact , native to the Himalayas , where they flourished as a small red mountain flower before being brought to Turkey in the 1400s . " People from Turkey went to the Himalayas and took this magical flower , " says Panis-Ringersma . " They thought , ' Oh , it 's very interesting . Let 's see if we can make it taller or different colours . ' At the end of the 16th Century , it came to the Netherlands . People would have thought , ' Okay , it 's a very ugly bulb , but there comes a beautiful flower out of it . ' " " It 's like a living museum , " she says . " Tulips entered the Netherlands around the 16th Century . And people loved them from the very beginning . And right now , there is one place in the Netherlands that keep the bulbs alive from the 16th Century and later on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ visit and find the oldest bulbs of the Netherlands still blooming . " The Hortus Bulborum houses more than 4,500 varieties of historical spring bulbous plants , from tulips to daffodils to hyacinths , which are rarely cultivated in modern day . The garden 's star bulbs include a specimen of Fritillaria Persica , dating to 1557 , and the ancient 16th-Century tulip Duc van Tol Red and Yellow . " So , you can visit and it 's a very small garden , " says Panis-Ringersma . " They have great apple pie ! So absolutely visit and drink some coffee with apple pie over there and have a look at all the different kinds of flowers . " |

After a stage 3 cancer diagnosis in my mid-40s , I totally re-thought how I treated my body .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate that would induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'phased out of marketing' is a phrasal verb where 'marketing' is a noun, not a gerund.

" The craze eventually caught the attention of one of the most prolific current American authors , Stephen King . King wrote the novel IT , a story about a killer clown Pennywise wreaking havoc on a group of kids . He said at the time of the craze : " Hey , guys , time to cool the clown hysteria - most of ' em are good , cheer up the kiddies , make people laugh . " It is still not known why this trend started or exactly why it ended , but it has caused a younger generation to view clowns completely differently . Born in 1942 , the murderer flew under the radar for years due to his public reputation in the Chicago area as a hard-working contractor who performed as a clown for hospitalized children in his free time . Gacy 's appearances as a clown , called either Patches or Pogo depending on the performance , led to his nickname of the " Killer Clown . " In 1968 , Gacy was found guilty of the sodomy of a teenage boy in Waterloo , Iowa . His first wife divorced him , taking full custody of the couple 's two children as Gacy was sentenced to 10 years in prison . However , Gacy only served 18 months in prison before he was released on parole . He then moved back to his hometown of Chicago to live with his mother . Gacy murdered his first victim , Timothy McCoy in 1972 . After the divorce from his second wife in 1976 , he murdered at least 30 more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ victims in his ranch-style house . 26 of his victims were buried in the crawlspace of his home , while three more were found buried on his property . He also confessed to dumping at least four bodies in a nearby river . Gacy would typically abduct or lure his victims to his house before tricking them into putting on handcuffs as part of a magic trick . He then would rape and torture his victims before killing them by strangling or suffocating them . Cops arrested Gacy on December 21 , 1978 , while investigating the disappearance of his teenage victim Robert Piest . He was found guilty of 33 murders and sentenced to death in 1980 . Gacy was executed by lethal injection on May 10 , 1994 . Some thought it might have been part of a horror movie publicity stunt or an elaborate hoax . Ronald , who was once seen as a fun character , was subsequently transformed into a creepy figure , being spoken of in the same breath as the killer ones . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'take the hassle out of running your own syndicate' does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to be a different construction where 'the hassle' is the object of 'take', and 'out of running your own syndicate' is a prepositional phrase modifying 'the hassle'.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'get' is used transitively with 'more money' as its object, but the phrase 'out of low-yielding accounts' does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

LONDON - BlackRock is betting on an expanded range of retail-focused products , including more exchange-traded funds , to attract a new generation of Europeans into investing , an executive said , as it tries to outcompete local rivals slowly gaining ground . The U.S. fund manager , through its iShares unit , has a 43% market share in European ETFs , three times its nearest rival , according to Morningstar data . BlackRock and other index-tracker providers have dominated Europe 's investment market in recent years , squeezing local managers , but analysts say they face a tough task keeping up their past growth rates . Stephen Cohen , its chief product officer , said BlackRock wanted to strike more agreements with local banks to distribute a wider range of funds to attract millions of first-time European investors . BlackRock will explore launching more bond and actively managed ETFs - a small but growing area in Europe - and targeted indices that track fewer stocks to meet changing client demands , Cohen said . " Europe starts as a culture of savings , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now starting to change and change quite radically , " Cohen told Reuters . His comments come as the European Union on Wednesday announced a new ' Savings and Investment Union ' strategy to get more money out of low-yielding accounts and into investments , noting that 70% of household savings in the EU -- worth 10 trillion euros -- are held as bank deposits . Attracting consumers is the " missing ingredient " for the European ETF market , said Morningstar analyst Jose Garcia-Zarate , after its growth to date was mainly driven by institutions . BlackRock - which already works with British banks Lloyds and Monzo - is exploring further distribution deals and particularly in markets where it is less established such as Eastern Europe , Cohen said , declining to give further details . BlackRock is also preparing to launch a bitcoin exchange-traded product in Europe , Reuters reported last month , following on from the take-up of bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. BlackRock declined to comment on its crypto plans . Cohen said BlackRock , which hit $1 trillion in assets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 19 million customers there within three years , against the current 9 million . BlackRock declined to comment on what that increase would mean for its assets . But its recent growth rate has slowed , according to Morningstar , with European player Amundi and U.S. rival Vanguard growing their assets quicker since 2023 . " They 've been losing market share to other providers , " said Morningstar 's Garcia-Zarate , but added BlackRock would likely do " whatever it takes " to try to defend or grow its market position . Cohen said a shift into European stocks instead of U.S. equities - which had fuelled iShares ' expansion - was boosting inflows this year .

Michael Tobler , pictured above with his fish tanks at the University of St Louis , Missouri , is one of many collectors who conserve endangered species of freshwater fish , keeping " insurance populations " in case they go extinct in the wild . Tobler collects and researches goodeids , freshwater fish endemic to Mexico and some parts of the US . Derik Holtmann Cichlids are a type of freshwater fish popular in the fish collecting hobby . Many species of cichlids originate from lakes in East Africa , such as Lake Victoria and Lake Malawi .

George has been collecting fish since 1948 when , as a four-year-old in the Bronx , he would look after his grandmother 's rainbow fish . He soon developed " multiple tank syndrome " -- a colloquial term used by fish collectors to denote the spiral commonly experienced after acquiring one 's first tank , which involves the sufferer buying many more tanks within a short space of time . He has not stopped collecting since . Now , George sees himself as a conservationist ; his tanks contain what is known as " insurance populations " -- populations of endangered fish that are likely to go extinct in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is right , they can be taken from his collection and returned to their homes .

" Chin was involved in a reintroduction effort for a cichlid species in Lake Malawi in 2019 , but she says logistical obstacles have meant that no one has returned to see if the population survived .

Other reintroductions have had , according to Chin , " questionable " levels of success .

With the international break now in full flow and Championship action on hold for just over another week , attention is already turning to the run-in and Bristol City 's chances of securing a play-off place . Starting with their trip to Turf Moor next Saturday , the Robins have just eight matches to play this season . Whether or not they finish in the top six will come down to what happens between now and their clash with Preston North End on Saturday , May 3 . With 24 points still up for grabs , an awful lot can still change over the coming weeks and months . Manning 's Reds have shown that they can go toe-to-toe with the Championship 's biggest sides and their performances at Ashton Gate so far this term have made it clear that no one will find it easy to pick up points in BS3 . However , there is one dilemma facing the Robins boss ahead of the run-in . Just who starts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the season ? Granted , this is the sort of issue most managers in the Championship would love to have and Manning will likely be no different . It is n't too often in the second tier you have too many in-form options to pick from as dips in performance , fatigue and injuries tend can almost lead to your team being picked for you , something City know all too well themselves given their shortage of options in defence . However , there is a genuine argument now to suggest that 14 or 15 players in the Reds ' camp are all well within their rights to be banging on the head coach 's door asking to start . As we 've mentioned , the back three almost takes care of itself . With George Tanner joining Luke McNally on the treatment table , it is fair to assume that Zak Vyner and Rob Dickie will be joined by one of Haydon Roberts , Cam Pring or Ross McCrorie in defence for the foreseeable future , or at least until Tanner returns . For so much @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ start in central midfield has been just as simple . Jason Knight and Max Bird had formed a brilliant partnership in the middle of the park to the point that they were likely two of the first names on the teamsheet up until just a couple of weeks ago . However , Joe Williams has well and truly thrown a , rather helpful , spanner in the works with his stand-out performances against both Sheffield United and Norwich City before the international break . The former Everton prospect ran the game alongside Knight at Bramall Lane and was similarly effective against the Canaries last time out . When he 's fit and playing in that manner , it feels like he simply has to start . Luckily , Bird has proven to be just as impactful as one of the two number 10s in Manning 's system . The ex-Derby County man thrived there earlier in the season and returned to that position against Norwich where he was at the heart of everything the Reds did well in their 2-1 win . There we go then , there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ... or is it ? If Bird starts in attacking midfield , who partners him ? All of Anis Mehmeti , Scott Twine , Yu Hirakawa , George Earthy and potentially Mark Sykes , if McCrorie returns at right wing-back , will feel that they have done enough to get the nod . Mehmeti may be inconsistent , but he remains City 's top goalscorer this season and there is an argument he is one of the few players at Manning 's disposal who can create something out of nothing . Particularly at Ashton Gate , the Albanian international has caused plenty of problems this season and it is hard to argue the Reds do n't look more dangerous going forward when he 's on the pitch . Similarly , Twine may divide the opinion of supporters but he is an integral part of Manning 's system in BS3 . Like Mehmeti , he can carve a goal out of nothing whether that be in open play or from a set-piece , with his ability from a dead ball in particular a real asset for the Robins . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he be as effective alongside the 24-year-old as he has been next to Mehmeti ? Do you lack a bit of pace and natural width with him , Bird , Williams and Knight all in one team ? Possibly , but boy do you have some good passers of the ball on the turf . Both Earthy and Hirakawa have shown in flashes in recent weeks that they are more than ready to start . Of course , whether or not the West Ham loanee is straight into contention after the break will depend on why he has withdrawn from the England Elite League squad during the international break .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'carve a goal out of nothing' does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate and does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the ability to create a goal from a difficult situation, which is unrelated to the construction's properties.

With the international break now in full flow and Championship action on hold for just over another week , attention is already turning to the run-in and Bristol City 's chances of securing a play-off place . Starting with their trip to Turf Moor next Saturday , the Robins have just eight matches to play this season . Whether or not they finish in the top six will come down to what happens between now and their clash with Preston North End on Saturday , May 3 . With 24 points still up for grabs , an awful lot can still change over the coming weeks and months . Manning 's Reds have shown that they can go toe-to-toe with the Championship 's biggest sides and their performances at Ashton Gate so far this term have made it clear that no one will find it easy to pick up points in BS3 . However , there is one dilemma facing the Robins boss ahead of the run-in . Just who starts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the season ? Granted , this is the sort of issue most managers in the Championship would love to have and Manning will likely be no different . It is n't too often in the second tier you have too many in-form options to pick from as dips in performance , fatigue and injuries tend can almost lead to your team being picked for you , something City know all too well themselves given their shortage of options in defence . However , there is a genuine argument now to suggest that 14 or 15 players in the Reds ' camp are all well within their rights to be banging on the head coach 's door asking to start . As we 've mentioned , the back three almost takes care of itself . With George Tanner joining Luke McNally on the treatment table , it is fair to assume that Zak Vyner and Rob Dickie will be joined by one of Haydon Roberts , Cam Pring or Ross McCrorie in defence for the foreseeable future , or at least until Tanner returns . For so much @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ start in central midfield has been just as simple . Jason Knight and Max Bird had formed a brilliant partnership in the middle of the park to the point that they were likely two of the first names on the teamsheet up until just a couple of weeks ago . However , Joe Williams has well and truly thrown a , rather helpful , spanner in the works with his stand-out performances against both Sheffield United and Norwich City before the international break . The former Everton prospect ran the game alongside Knight at Bramall Lane and was similarly effective against the Canaries last time out . When he 's fit and playing in that manner , it feels like he simply has to start . Luckily , Bird has proven to be just as impactful as one of the two number 10s in Manning 's system . The ex-Derby County man thrived there earlier in the season and returned to that position against Norwich where he was at the heart of everything the Reds did well in their 2-1 win . There we go then , there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ... or is it ? If Bird starts in attacking midfield , who partners him ? All of Anis Mehmeti , Scott Twine , Yu Hirakawa , George Earthy and potentially Mark Sykes , if McCrorie returns at right wing-back , will feel that they have done enough to get the nod . Mehmeti may be inconsistent , but he remains City 's top goalscorer this season and there is an argument he is one of the few players at Manning 's disposal who can create something out of nothing . Particularly at Ashton Gate , the Albanian international has caused plenty of problems this season and it is hard to argue the Reds do n't look more dangerous going forward when he 's on the pitch . Similarly , Twine may divide the opinion of supporters but he is an integral part of Manning 's system in BS3 . Like Mehmeti , he can carve a goal out of nothing whether that be in open play or from a set-piece , with his ability from a dead ball in particular a real asset for the Robins . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he be as effective alongside the 24-year-old as he has been next to Mehmeti ? Do you lack a bit of pace and natural width with him , Bird , Williams and Knight all in one team ? Possibly , but boy do you have some good passers of the ball on the turf . Both Earthy and Hirakawa have shown in flashes in recent weeks that they are more than ready to start . Of course , whether or not the West Ham loanee is straight into contention after the break will depend on why he has withdrawn from the England Elite League squad during the international break . If he is fit though , he has shown against Middlesbrough , Millwall and Sheffield United that he can make a difference at the top end of the pitch . Hirakawa has found starts hard to come by since the Robins switched to this 3-4-2-1 system , with the Japanese youth international not really a natural fit in any position in that formation . However , off the bench against Cardiff City and from the start against the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the right flank .

Sky Sports pundit Don Goodman says he " would n't rule Jon Worthington out " of landing Huddersfield Town 's head coach role on a permanent basis should the interim boss have a positive stint in charge . The academy manager is taking the side until the end of the season , and got his spell off to the perfect start with a 5-1 victory over Crawley Town on Saturday . The victory moved the Terriers back into the League One play-off places , with Town sitting sixth in the table over the international break , one point above seventh-placed Bolton Wanderers . Worthington has been placed in charge for a second time in two seasons , with the 41-year-old having presided over two victories and two defeats in February last year . The academy boss has been tasked with leading the side through the remainder of their promotion bid , with Town having been eager to secure an immediate return to the Championship this term . Goodman believes that Worthington could be in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spell as interim boss , with the pundit citing other managers who have seized the opportunity that a caretaker stint has presented . " In terms of a new manager for Huddersfield Town , I think Jon Worthington has been appointed on an interim basis for the last ten , and he could n't have got off to a better start than winning 5-1 at home against Crawley . " Goodman told Football League World . " I think if this ten-game interim period goes well -- and it 's started well -- then he may be in line to emulate the likes of Paul Heckingbottom and Paul Warne , who did the same at Barnsley and Rotherham and ended up getting the job , so I would n't rule Jon Worthington out .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes an action (hitting the post) that happened 'out of nothing', which is an idiomatic expression not related to the transitive out of -ing construction. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the sentence does not yield a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

I used to be a normal , well-adjusted individual , but now I am constantly absorbed by a range of massive spreadsheets and obscure statistical websites . It 's all this fine publication 's fault ! The reason ? When I started writing these columns I had to produce an article on our record against our immediate opponents . That was straightforward enough when we were in the Football League , but once we dropped down to the National League it became a challenge ! Week after week I was having to come up with 500 words on our record against opponents we had never played against before ! I needed some way to dig down and find statistical data which was worth writing about . The solution was to make those enormous spreadsheets , so I could then drill deep into the stats and eke out some facts from the coalface of football facts . Some of the stats were buried deep , crushed by the weight of years into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the mining metaphor yet , you may want to move to a lower set . Anyway , I 'm addicted to those spreadsheets now , and pull odd information out after every game for the #WxmAnorak feature on the club 's website . Consulting those wonders of IT , I discovered a rather opaque club record which we equalled on Saturday , but too late to mention in #WxmAnorak . Therefore , here 's a Leader exclusive , to repay the life-changing nerdiness which I 've had thrust upon me . On Saturday , we won 1-0 for the 11th time this season . That equals the club record , set in 2018-19 , which is surprising in a way because that was a season when we had three managers -- Sam Ricketts , Graham Barrow and Bryan Hughes -- and lacked the stability we enjoy now . Despite the regularity of our managerial changes , we finished fourth . It might sound like a team that regularly wins 1-0 is somehow lacking quality , but the thing about winning a lot of games @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ! Those managers were fortunate enough to inherit a solid defensive unit : Dean Keates ' side from the season before ground its way through a promotion challenge on the sound foundations of an iron-clad back four . That side relied on an almost undisturbed unit at the back : Kevin Roberts , Manny Smith , Shaun Pearson , James Jennings . Stick the energy of Sam Wedgbury and Akil Wright in front of them and you have a defence you can rely on . Many of those players remained the following season when the record was set , unsurprisingly . This season our promotion push is based on strength in depth , with a range of high quality defenders ready to step in once the necessity presents itself . We 've accumulated clean sheets hand over fist , and will post one of the most impressive tallies of shut-outs in a season as long as we do n't lose form . At the other end , the goals have n't flowed lately , but there 's an important comparison to be made here @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The ability to find a way to win , as we did in that massive victory at Wycombe last weekend , is what earns success . This team has a steeliness about it . It will go toe-to-toe with opponents and duke it out . There 's a reassuring resolve about the way they go about their business , and in the run-in the beautiful game becomes a results-based business . Every point counts . If you want expansive football , you 're more likely to get it at The Rock . The women 's team are absolutely on fire : seven consecutive wins in which we 've hit the net 25 times ! We 've scored four or more goals seven times in our last eighteen games , including a ten and an eleven ! Momentum like that is rare , though . What Parkinson 's side is doing is terrific , and unlike the teams around us there 's a sense we have more gears to go through . Sam Smith is clearly a high quality striker , and he 'll score @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ proof of this , as he made a chance by chasing a lost cause , hitting the post out of nothing . He then scored the winner with an exquisite volley . Did I mention that we won 1-0 ? When we are able to offer more service to Smith , logic suggests that he 'll score lots more goals . However , we 've proven that we can get a result if we hit the net just once , if necessary . Parkinson knows how to get promotion , even if it 's one goal at a time .

Are CDs destined for a new life or a return to the landfill ? ( Image : Derek McArthur ) This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues . It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . Some media formats see endless celebration and devotion , their disciples carrying the torch through whatever the new and normal becomes . Vinyl record , such a classic and cherished format of the 20th century , perseveres and finds new and old audiences drawn to it . But there are formats , despite their ubiquitous presence at one point in history , that find themselves left in the dustbin , free from any further consideration . Older formats are often resigned to the status of outdated relics , a method of use that made sense at the time but now struggles to find purpose . The compact disc , or CD , left the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leave it in the past . It was never really about what the CD format had to offer , the advantages of its use over what came before and after . It had much more to do with how the record industry decided to sell its last great cash cow to the public . A record industry that revelled in the large profit margins of overpriced yet cheap-to-produce discs throughout the 1990s was suddenly licking wounds by the 2000s when internet access , and the ease of sharing small-sized MP3 files , became commonplace . It no longer made sense to spend ? 15 on an album , when for most people they were only bought to have ownership of the few hit songs heard elsewhere . The albums of the CD era often tested and stretched out the format 's 74-minute standard runtime capacity , with more and more songs added to track lists under the guise of being better value for money . Rarely was this the case . Often albums with one or two good songs would be surrounded by filler and other miscellaneous tracks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with more songs over one with a more considered track list only served to reduce the quality and standard of albums in general . CDs were initially placed on a pedestal as the flawlessly correct way to hear music , where the crackle of a vinyl record or the persistent hiss of a cassette had lived as imperfections waiting to be ironed out by new technology . This mindset has shifted . Now the crackle and hiss of older formats are seen as contributions to their listening character , a part of the ritual . CDs contrastingly are seen as soulless , too digitally clean , too sonically absolute to offer much to a modern listener . Yet the perfection of the CD helps correct the transient nature of modern digital streaming . A CD is a more authentic and pure expression of sound compared to the compressed , digital artifacts of streaming ( which must consider the user 's Wi-Fi and data transfer limits ) . Streaming platforms , and the range of music they have on offer , are beholden to contracts and liaisons @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ albums disappear from their services as a result . The ownership of a CD can not be taken back by intellectual property merchants . Outside of the music business , CDs saw great use in tandem with the MP3 . CD burners quickly became inexpensive commodities , often already found within the disc trays of the common family computer . The cheap and plentiful procurement of writable and re-writable CDs breathed in a whole other life , an update to the nostalgic cassette mixtape . There was also the added crucial benefit of CDs as a storage medium , where discs of software and games became entwined with their audio purposes . The average 700mb-capacity disc could store a lot more than the standard floppy disk of the time , hundreds of times over in fact . Slowly but surely , more and more are starting to see the appeal of the unfashionable CD . A niche audience has been forming , not only from the nostalgia-driven crowd seeking past pleasures but from fresh-faced music collectors too . The music underground continues to see CDs as a viable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that direction as access to vinyl record production becomes closed off and controlled by the whims of the mainstream music industry 's production schedule . CDs also see a prominent place in second-hand markets and bargain bins , as unwanted as they now are . In turn , they have become the most attractive option for collectors on a budget . When the average vinyl record today can cost upwards of ? 40 , the cheap cost of a CD collection becomes all the more alluring . Many are now priced out of building a record collection , and the landfill status of CDs has cultivated somewhat of a return to fun , low-stakes collecting . The fate of the CD format might always be stuck in the weird transitory phase between the analog and digital eras -- useful when the technology broke then rendered obsolete by the full digital immersion of media . But the life of the CD is far from over . As those with the memories and past purposes revisit and rediscover , and people new to the format start to attach their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could be a fascinating life-after-death story in the shadows .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It involves the verb 'got' with an NP object 'a good laugh' and the phrase 'out of watching some outlaws...' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The NP object 'a good laugh' does not function as a causee, and the construction does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction as described.

I 've spent years wandering many an inhospitable wasteland , so Atomfall 's pleasant post-apocalypse is pretty inviting . They 've got tea here . And bakeries . And it 's extremely green -- not because of radiation storms , but because it 's all pastures and woods and verdant hills as far as the eye can see . It 'd be a nice place for a ramble , if it were n't for the fire-spewing robots , lethal flora , bandits , cultists and conspiracies .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'got' is transitive and selects an NP object 'a good laugh', but the sentence does not give rise to either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Additionally, the NP object 'a good laugh' does not function as a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'watching some outlaws try to find me'. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

We all know that most of the big names in beer are owned by just a handful of giant global corporations . But YouGov data published by the Society of Independent Brewers and Associates ( SIBA ) found that 81 per cent of beer drinkers believe consumers are being misled by those companies . They 've been buying up formerly-independent craft breweries without a lot of drinkers realising . Brands like Beavertown , Camden and Fullers are now owned by beer giants Heineken , AB InBev and Asahi respectively . Buying these beers diverts sales from truly independent businesses , and often sends our hard-earned money out of the UK to global shareholders . Backing independent brewers gives us access to diverse , interesting beers on the bar as well as supporting valued small businesses which reinvest their money into the local economy . " Indies have heart and soul , which is reflected in our beers . " says Ben Cleary of his independent Full Circle Brew Co in Newcastle upon Tyne . " We provide jobs and training within our local communities and our tap @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this with the global beer giants . " The impact of lockdown and the rising costs of energy and ingredients have been taking their toll on brewery numbers for years now . The latest figures , to September 2024 , show that the UK is now home to 1,721 breweries , down from 1,828 in January 2023 . That 's a six per cent drop in eighteen months and it represents the loss of hundreds of jobs . There has been no end of Guinness alternatives touted in the press recently but little mention is made of the fantastic alternatives to the other big brands . We 've lined up some of the best on the market . Chances are , these independent beers will end up costing you more . That 's an undeniable fact . They do n't have the economies of scale that the beer giants have . Indies are n't looking to scrape every last ounce of profit they can from what they brew either , so high-grade ingredients and careful craftsmanship are the name of the game . That said , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the supermarket where those big orders have made the products a little less expensive . There 's no doubt that quality costs but , in my opinion , it 's worth every penny . And those pennies will be supporting small businesses and their local economies . The fourth biggest selling cask ale by volume in the UK , London Pride has been on the bar since 1958 , brewed at Fuller 's Griffin Brewery . But when Fuller , Smith & Turner sold its brewery business to the Japanese firm Asahi in 2019 , the move was likened to the ravens leaving the Tower of London . Take one sip of Full Circle Brew Co 's strong bitter , Goose Chase , and you 'll never look back . The Newcastle upon Tyne brewery 's gorgeously deep amber beer is complex and slightly sweet . Flavours of biscuit and baking spices intermingle with fruity , marmalade tones and a hoppy pine finish that will keep you coming back for more . Find other Full Circle beers in Sainsbury 's . Neck Oil is ubiquitous in these lands , finding favour as an easy drinking session-strength beer with bold fruit flavours -- then pushed out to tied bars countrywide by Heineken . Get the same taste experience and support the good brewers of Nottingham by enjoying Castle Rock Brewery 's Session instead . This naturally hazy pale bursts with juicy passion fruit , orange and a background vibe of pine . Soft , juicy and lightly sweet , it 's as full of flavour as Neck Oil once was , unusually for a lighter ABV beer . Find other Castle Rock beers in Asda Before Heineken moved in on Beavertown , it acquired a minority stake in Brixton Brewery in 2017 . The move was billed as a vehicle for growth ; increasing capacity tenfold , yet keeping it firmly rooted in Brixton when London 's craft beer scene was growing strongly . In 2021 , the drinks giant took over the business in full before finally , perhaps inevitably , announcing that production would be moved to Beavertown in Enfield in 2024 . Reliance is not a bad beer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ brand that has moved so decisively away from its roots . Try Cheshire 's Weetwood instead .

While the focus of this article is UK indie brewers , it would be churlish not to present an authentically Czech alternative to Staropramen . It 's called a " Czech-style " lager because Molson Coors whips it up at its brewery in Burton upon Trent . Budweiser Budvar is a state-owned Czech brewery ( not to be confused with the American brewery of the same name ) , and all of its beer is made in the town of Cesk ? Budejovice .

The UK 's best selling cask and bottled ale is everywhere , thanks to Cornwall 's Sharp 's Brewery being bought out by Molson Coors in 2011 . If you want your money to support London 's oldest independent brewery rather than the US/Canadian giants , then try Sambrook 's Junction instead . A finalist in SIBA 's ( Society of Independent Brewers and Associates ) Independent Beer Awards 2025 , Junction is packed with delicious British hops giving a woody , herbal backnote to the slightly sweet malt-led flavour . It has great bitterness , hints of blackcurrant and a caramel tone on the finish . A true symphony of flavour from a quintessentially British style of beer . The Wychwood Brewery in Oxfordshire that first brewed the Hobgoblin series was shuttered by the Carlsberg Marston 's Brewing Company in 2023 .

Within that richness , you 'll find luxurious fruit tones -- black cherry and date -- as well as hints of banana from the Theakston twin-strain yeast and a slight grassy tone from those famous British Fuggles hops . Old Peculier is one of the beers that has made British brewing great indeed . It was exciting when beers from Portland 's Shipyard Brewing Co first landed on these shores . But since Marston 's and then Carlsberg Britvic got their hands on its signature Shipyard IPA , the beer has lost much of its impact . Brewed in the UK , the grapefruit burst seems muted .

" A cold , clean pint of Tennent 's is the greatest thing in the world " says Dougie Payne of hit band Travis . No wonder , then , that when they partnered up for a collaboration brew with London 's Signature Brew , Travis wanted something that gave a nod to the band 's favourite beer .

A sole trader or company that is permanently based in the UK and carries out a minimum of 75% of its total beer production here . An independent brewery can not be under the control of -- or connected with -- any other entity operating within the UK brewing industry .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'took more than a year out of boxing' involves 'out of' followed by a noun ('boxing'), not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object between the verb 'took' and 'out of boxing', and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Millions of Americans will fire up their George Foreman Grills this Sunday and sizzle the meatiest hunks of beef they can find in honour of one of the mightiest punchers in boxing history . Hundreds of millions around the world will be clinking zillions of beer cans as they remember the most famous fight of all time . The Rumble In The Jungle . The pews at the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in north Houston will be crammed with mourners lamenting the passing of their inspirational pastor . Big George has gone . All of a sudden . To meet his maker . At only 76 . When most of us still thought of him as indestructible even though Muhammad Ali had proved him beatable that steamy night in Zaire half a century ago . The shock now is as startling as the eighth round punch from nowhere with which the older Ali regained the world heavyweight title by dispatching the formidable , intimidating , menacing , undefeated Foreman to the canvas . That indelible moment would never have been etched into the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world champion not trusted controversial and much-litigate promoter Don King 's $10million promise by signing a blank sheet of the contract for the fight during a clandestine meeting at a defunct , decaying railroad station . Foreman took the risk after he espied a rusty public telephone still hanging from a deserted platform wall , found it be working and called his lawyer who said to him : ' What you got ta lose , George ? ' Millions of Americans will fire up their George Foreman grills in tribute to the former world heavyweight champion Foreman 's career was marked by a spectacular bout against Muhammad Ali in 1974 - branded as the ' Rumble in the Jungle ' Foreman ( pictured with fellow ex-champion Larry Holmes ) passed away at the age of 76 on Friday , but leaves countless memories and an immense legacy in his wake Not the 10 million bucks , since King was as good as his word . Just his world heavyweight title . After Ali rope-a-doped him into punching himself out through a seven-round barrage of massive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ got , George ? ' after taking the biggest punch of all from then the most feared of all fighters . And he felled him like an oak tree in the eighth . It was more than a year before a devastated Foreman could bring himself to box again and as he would tell me down the years : ' I needed time to find humility in defeat . ' October 30 , 1974 in Kinshasa is one of several life-altering dates in Foreman 's multi-faceted life as teenage mugger , carpenter , bricklayer , wannabe American footballer , world beating prize-fighter , many-a-wife-taker , prolific father , rousing preacher and kitchen cooker-maker . At 16 he saw the light of reason and quit the street gangs to seek work by joining America 's Job Corp initiative for youngsters . A sojourn as a handyman in Los Angeles took him to a gym for aspiring footballers where he was convinced he would be better applying his size and strength in the ring . A heavyweight gold medal at the 1968 Mexico Olympics -- ' still my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his death on Friday -- launched him into the professional ring . A string of quick-fire victories led him to his first winning of a world title -- on January 27 , 1973 in Kingston , Jamaica - by knocking out the great Joe Frazier . A feat he achieved twice against the revered Smokin ' Joe . Cometh March 17 , 1977 in Puerto Rico , cometh the out of body experience which led him to his church . Foreman collapsed in his dressing room after being battered to a 15 round defeat by Jimmy Young . Of laying on the table surrounded by worried family and friends he would recall : ' I felt a giant hand pluck me from unconsciousness . I felt physically filled by the presence of a dying Christ . Hallelujah ! I rose and ran into the shower . Born again . I was filled with love and never felt the same again . ' For certain , he underwent a transformation as a human being . The anger pent up in Foreman while he was growing up amid racial prejudice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ George through the pre-Rumble phase of his gloved career . An ominous figure who found it necessary to present himself as a danger in public . Seemingly overnight he began changing into the affable , amiable Loveable George who charmed all with whom he came into contact . After the Ali defeat , Foreman took more than a year out of boxing because he ' needed time to find humility in defeat ' He remained good friends with Ali up until his own death , while their legacy from The Rumble In The Jungle will live on forever Foreman regularly beat opponents into a pulp , losing only five of his 81 fights as a professional Unless he was beating opponents into pulp . Which continued to be frequent , as he lost only five of his 81 fights . Even when he came out of retirement intent on becoming the oldest world heavyweight champion of all time on the night of November 5 , 1994 on the Las Vegas Strip . At the grand fighting age of 45 years and 299 days Old George @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by then had become 12 rather than 15 world title rounds . Foreman attributed that shaking of the boxing world to keeping behind his unorthodox cross-armed defence ' until I saw the opening to throw my big old punch . ' In that he was abetted by the strange tactic to which renowned trainer Teddy Atlas committed Moorer . One of staying just on the fringe of Foreman 's firing range in the mistaken expectation that the longer the punches had to travel the lesser the impact . Quite how that was explained to Moorer when he woke up , we know not . Happy George continued on his merry way until he lost a split decision to Shannon Briggs on November 22 and in Atlantic City and decided that 48 years and 316 days was a good age at which to hang up the gloves for good . He took to the pulpit -- with that huge smile and warm prayer which usually included the line wishing for ' just one more day ' of a wonderful , entertaining generosity-filled life . Which included @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Joan Martelly in 1985 . Seven daughters -- five by various wives and two adopted -- in company with his numerous grand and great-grand children helped swell the congregation at his church . As did his five sons , all named George . The Paternal George was unique . Not unsurprisingly since he was special in so many ways . Foreman said throughout his later years : ' I won an Olympic gold medal and the world heavyweight title twice but I 'm most remembered for one fight I lost . That 's me . ' A heavyweight gold medal at the 1968 Mexico Olympics was his ' most treasured memory in boxing ' In the end , it did n't matter who won or lost The Rumble In The Jungle in Zaire back in 1974 As he said during one of our encounters down the years : ' I won an Olympic gold medal and the world heavyweight title twice but I 'm most remembered for one fight I lost . That 's me . ' Yes , that was Our George . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ As it took time for him to learn that when it came to making history with his ' great friend ' Muhammad Ali , it did n't really matter in the end who won or lost .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'her mother' is the NP subject, 'talked' is V1, 'her' is the NP object, and 'walking away' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also fits the prevention interpretation, as the mother prevented Teresa from walking away. The verb 'talked' fits into the category of verbs that appear in the V1 slot by means of verbal persuasion. The NP object 'her' functions as a causee, and the sentence does not exhibit any of the atypical features that would exclude it from being an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

MCU fans have had their say on the superpowered duo appearing in Doomsday and Secret Wars ( Image credit : Marvel Studios/Disney+ ) Two more superpowered individuals are rumored to appear in Avengers 5 and 6 She-Hulk star Tatiana Maslany has been linked with roles in one or both Marvel movies Scarlet Witch actor Elizabeth Olsen has seemingly ruled herself out of showing up I hope you 're ready for a packed year of Marvel casting rumors , as two more stars have been linked with roles in the next two Avengers movies .

And , depending on whether you choose to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Witch may be in line to feature . Let 's start with the latter because we have actual quotes from Elizabeth Olsen , the actor behind Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch , about her potential involvement . Or , should I say , lack of involvement . Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter , Olsen implied she wo n't show up in the films that 'll likely cap the Marvel Multiverse Saga , due to her shooting the pilot for a new FX TV show called Seven Sisters . That project will be filmed in LA -- i.e. half a world away from principal photography beginning in earnest on Doomsday in London . Olsen is n't the first Marvel Cinematic Universe ( MCU ) star to deny they 're part of a movie 's cast , only to actually appear , mind you ( I 'm primarily looking at you , Andrew Garfield ! ) . Sure , Maximoff is still thought to be dead , having seemingly perished in Doctor Strange 2 . Marvel fans do n't need reminding , though , that nobody ever stays dead in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ did n't actually see Scarlet Witch bite the dust in the aforementioned film , either -- and we all know that , unless we actually see the body , there 's no guarantee that someone is gone for good . It 's for those reasons that MCU devotees have raised a collective eyebrow over Olsen 's latest comments , with many believing she 's bluffing over a potential appearance .

Is She-Hulk in line to make her big-screen MCU debut ? ( Image credit : Marvel Studios/Disney Plus ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ both Marvel Phase 6 projects , that 's similarly difficult to quantify . There is firm evidence , though , that Bruce Banner 's cousin could make her first MCU appearance since 2022 's She-Hulk : Attorney at Law in Doomsday and/or its sequel . Now , a quick scan of Maslany 's IMDb page suggests principal photography is due to begin on one of three new projects she 's set to star in -- none of which are Marvel-related . That has n't stopped MCU fans from jumping to conclusions , though , and theorizing that She-Hulk will make her big-screen debut very soon . It would be easy to scoff at such speculation . However , She-Hulk featured in a couple of leaked concept art images for Avengers 5 and 6 earlier in March . Is that artwork the driving force behind this gossip ? Perhaps . For what it 's worth , Doomsday and Secret Wars ' directors , Joe and Anthony Russo , say that concept art has nothing to do with the next two Avengers flicks .

The sentence 'Having had to deal myself with an NHS attempt to argue me and 54,000 doctors out of whistleblowing protection' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('an NHS attempt') + V1 ('argue') + NP object ('me and 54,000 doctors') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('whistleblowing protection'). It also exhibits a prevention interpretation, where the NHS is attempting to prevent the doctors from having whistleblowing protection. The verb 'argue' can be classified under means of verbal persuasion, fitting one of the categories of verbs that appear in the V1 slot. The NP object 'me and 54,000 doctors' functions as causees, and the construction allows for the atypical type of NP object where the subject and object have different referents. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues . It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . His pledge comes after the former chairperson of Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust , who felt the need to resign following whistleblowing claims , won the first stage in his fight to take his case to an employment tribunal . Dr Max Mclean was asked to resign as chair shortly after raising concerns about how various matters were managed including newborn baby deaths and investigations into those deaths . But following a preliminary hearing at Leeds Employment Tribunal last month Judge Kirsty Ayre has ruled that his former role as chairperson falls within the definition of a worker and , as a worker , he is entitled to employment rights . That means Dr Mclean is now free to pursue his claim at a later tribunal with crucial whistleblowing protection . Dr @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who spent 30 years in the police , was appointed independent chair of the trust on May 1 , 2019 . He was chair of the council of governors and also chair of the board , which contained all of the trust 's senior executives and the chief executive . Dr Mclean was asked to resign on October 3 , 2023 , shortly after raising concerns about how various matters were managed including newborn baby deaths and investigations into those deaths . He was particularly critical of the trust 's chief executive . Naz Shah , the MP for Bradford West , told the T&A that she and Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust were made aware of the judge 's ruling at the weekend . Bradford West MP Naz Shah ( Image : Newsquest ) She has now raised the matter in Westminster . Speaking in the House of Commons today Ms Shah said the judge 's ruling was " a landmark victory " and urged Health Secretary Wes Streeting to meet with her to discuss what she described as " a clear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ She said : " Last week there was a non-exec director who marked a year since he was suspended . " A third non-exec director has put in another ET1 a form to make a claim to an employment tribunal . " There appears to be a clear culture of targeting and witch-hunting against the whistleblowers at Bradford Teaching Hospitals Trust . " I appreciate the Secretary of State 's team supporting me , but can he meet with me given these recent developments ? " Mr Streeting said he was grateful to Ms Shah for raising what he called " serious issues " . He added : " I think there are issues of concern at play here and she clearly describes a concerning situation for the local community . Bradford Royal Infirmary " We do need to look carefully at what 's happening here and my Honourable friend , the Minister of State for Health , would be delighted to meet her . " At February 's preliminary hearing Dr Mclean said his role as chair was forcibly terminated following @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the trust 's board after he had highlighted his concerns over wrongdoing at the trust . He was said to have been " positively excluded " from the meeting , on October 2 , 2023 , and did not even know it had taken place . His email account was also closed . It was suggested that the meeting , at which board members were asked to express a view on Dr Mclean 's actions , made him " vulnerable to retaliation " from people he had criticised . The hearing heard that one executive who expressed view was asked , " What do you want to do about the chair ? " They replied , " I want him gone " . NHS whistleblower Dr Chris Day commented : " " Having had to deal myself with an NHS attempt to argue me and 54,000 doctors out of whistleblowing protection , I am delighted that Max and his legal team have successfully resisted the NHS 's plan to deprive the Chairs of all NHS Trusts of whistleblowing protection .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'opt out of' followed by a gerund phrase 'offering funded places', but there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

A leader in the childcare sector has raised alarm about the financial pressures facing providers , telling PoliticsHome that the situation is worse now than it was before last year 's general election . Speaking to PoliticsHome in the run-up to Wednesday 's Spring Statement , Chief Executive Officer of the Early Years Alliance Neil Leitch said the issues were " predominantly " the fault of the Treasury . Labour 's plan for childcare and early education was a key feature in its manifesto pledges and later formed part of the government 's missions and milestones for its Plan for Change . The party promised to take up the Conservatives ' previous plans for childcare expansion , despite the now-Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson warning at the time that there was a risk of " crashing the childcare system " due to providers struggling . Under the plans , by September 2025 , eligible parents will be able to receive 30 hours of free childcare a week . Leitch , whose charity runs 39 nurseries in some of the most disadvantaged areas nationwide , said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ giving the sector hope , the situation facing childcare providers has worsened since then . While Leitch said that the Labour government 's intentions are right , delivery so far has been " non-existent " . " It feels actually worse , " he told PoliticsHome . " We as an organization delivering care and education for the most vulnerable children -- predominantly down to the Treasury changing its priorities from pre-election to now -- are in a worse place than we were pre-election under the Tories . " Leitch was keen not to lay the blame at the door of the Department for Education or Phillipson , who he said was the first education secretary to tell him that the early years sector was the " number one priority " . He blamed " an element of incompetence from Treasury " , accusing the department of not properly assessing the impact of the policy announced in the October budget . He spoke to PoliticsHome on the day the government confirmed that private and voluntary early years settings -- which comprise the majority of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in employers ' National Insurance contributions announced late last year . These contributions will rise from 1.2 to 15 per cent from April 2025 , under plans announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves . A recent survey by the Early Years Alliance found that nearly six in 10 early years settings are likely to cut the number of three and four-year-old funded places they offer or opt out of offering funded places for this age group entirely . A quarter of providers are likely to do the same for funded two-year-old places over the next 12 months , the survey also found . Leitch told PoliticsHome that the cost of sending a child to an early years setting will rise significantly because of a shortfall in funding . However , he said ministers were in a " difficult position " when it comes to the policy because expanded free childcare was a " vote winner " at the July general election . " It was important that they got into office to try and change things from their perspective . " A government spokesperson @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in life is central to our mission to break the unfair link between background and success , and through our Plan for Change , we 'll get thousands more children school-ready by age 5 . " That 's why despite having to take tough decisions to fix the foundations of the economy , we are raising spending on the early years entitlements to over ? 8bn next year and we have announced the largest ever uplift to the early years pupil premium , increasing the rate by over 45 per cent compared to 2024-25 . " On top of this , we have recently announced details of a targeted ? 75mn grant to support the increase to 30 government-funded hours from September , alongside our strengthened guidance to make sure that parents do not face unfair charges to access a place .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'opt out of' as a phrasal verb followed by a gerund phrase 'offering funded places for this age group entirely', which does not involve a causer-causee relationship or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. The phrase 'created skill moves out of nothing' does not involve a causee participating in an event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'out of nothing' is a prepositional phrase indicating the origin or manner of creation, not a VP[-ing] predicate.

An elusive list awaits you with some of the greatest players to ever play the game , across Europe , and the world . The list includes iconic players such as Ronaldo ( R9 ) , Zidane , Cruyff , Beckenbauer , Pele , and Maradona , each with their own legacy and contributions to the game . Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi occupy the top two spots on this ranking . One of the great football topics is back for the 2024/25 season and there will be a wide array of differing opinions on the results . Deciding who is the greatest footballer of all time is never easy , particularly as fans biasedly claim their club legend is the best .

Factors taken into consideration when ranking these players are as follows : Importance to the team - This can be classed as goals , assists or clean sheets . Yet the more they 've scored - or defended - the higher they are on the list . You ca n't be a legendary striker without scoring hundreds of goals . Club and international trophies - If a player has played a crucial part in their team winning trophies , they have been ranked higher on this list . The top of professional football is all about winning trophies -- and these players epitomised that . Individual Awards - However , some players stay at teams that do n't compete for major trophies every year , so using individual awards to rank the 25 best is also important .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'created skill moves out of nothing' does not involve a causee participating in an event described by a VP[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'out of nothing' is a prepositional phrase indicating the origin or manner of creation, not a VP[-ing] predicate.

An elusive list awaits you with some of the greatest players to ever play the game , across Europe , and the world . The list includes iconic players such as Ronaldo ( R9 ) , Zidane , Cruyff , Beckenbauer , Pele , and Maradona , each with their own legacy and contributions to the game . Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi occupy the top two spots on this ranking . One of the great football topics is back for the 2024/25 season and there will be a wide array of differing opinions on the results . Deciding who is the greatest footballer of all time is never easy , particularly as fans biasedly claim their club legend is the best .

Factors taken into consideration when ranking these players are as follows : Importance to the team - This can be classed as goals , assists or clean sheets . Yet the more they 've scored - or defended - the higher they are on the list . You ca n't be a legendary striker without scoring hundreds of goals . Club and international trophies - If a player has played a crucial part in their team winning trophies , they have been ranked higher on this list . The top of professional football is all about winning trophies -- and these players epitomised that . Individual Awards - However , some players stay at teams that do n't compete for major trophies every year , so using individual awards to rank the 25 best is also important . The Ballon d'Or is one of the most prestigious awards in the sport .

Three years later , he won the inaugural Ballon d'Or , beating the likes of Alfredo Di Stefano and Ferenc Puskas to first place .

Three years later , the Brazilian forward won the World Cup in South Korea and Japan . He played a pivotal role in their 2-1 victory against England in the quarter-final , scoring the equaliser in the 45th minute . Domestically , he was equally successful , winning league titles in four different countries and securing the Champions League trophy for Milan in 2003 .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('you 're on Succession' + 'have the ability' + 'to say' + 'I want to opt out of being regenerated'). It also involves a prevention interpretation, where the subject is preventing the object from being regenerated. The verb 'opt' fits into the category of verbs that appear in the V1 slot by means of nonspecific means. The NP object 'I' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'being regenerated'. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Since founding a production company with a genuinely radical vision , Ben Affleck has chosen to make films as an executive first , a director second , and an actor third . But can you really just stop being one of the biggest film stars on earth ? From the window of the conference room at Artists Equity , Ben Affleck 's production company , you can see Los Angeles spread out for miles to the south -- the Pacific Ocean to the right , Downtown to the left , birds gently flying over everything in between . It 's a Monday in January , not quite two weeks after fires first began to sweep over the city , and the birds are oddly calming : the first few tentative signs of life returning . Affleck -- tall , a little rumpled , extending a large mitt of a hand -- is as jittery as the rest of us , though largely unscathed , despite reports to the contrary . " I noticed that there 's been stories about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ My house burning down and all these various things . " His house did not burn down , in fact , nor did the one he rents down the block from that house , though like many , he had to leave for a little bit . But he is used to having to clear stuff like this up . " I was thinking to myself that this person 's impression " -- meaning mine -- " of my week is probably formed by three Daily Mail articles that are mostly absurd . " Affleck first became widely known with 1997 's Good Will Hunting , which he wrote and starred in alongside his friend Matt Damon . He is nearing his 30th uninterrupted year in the spotlight , which has given him a career and two Academy Awards , and also a level of tabloid scrutiny that in its consistency and vehemence is almost unmatched . " Some people like to follow the soap opera , " Affleck says . " And that soap opera is actually independent of a movie you might make or be in . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you became a character in that soap opera . You do n't write it , you do n't direct it , you do n't even know you 're in it , but you are . " This soap opera has provided Affleck with a backstory that is almost classical in its shape : sudden rise , dramatic fall ( 2003 's Gigli , co-starring Affleck 's then and future love interest Jennifer Lopez , is usually cited here ) , gradual comeback -- primarily as a director , with 2007 's Gone Baby Gone , 2010 's The Town , and 2012 's Argo , which won the best picture Oscar -- and then rise again , like the phoenix tattoo that was once grainily photographed on his bare back . None of this is exactly right , though all of it has elements of truth , and Affleck has been shadowboxing with this version of himself , the soap opera character version , for most of his adult life . To this day , he still meets people who assume he is his dim , rock-breaking character from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the genius role ( " Matt 's maths skills , I am pretty sure , are very far from genius level " ) , or the attention-plagued playboy that was his public role in the first decade of this century . In reality , Affleck is 52 , a twice-divorced father of three who commutes to an office most days . " I 'm a middle-aged guy , " he says , not unhappily . Despite the comeback narrative that journalists still reference , week to week and year to year , he has long been ensconced in the very top levels of Hollywood as a leading man ( in the lobby of Artists Equity there is , among other things , Affleck 's old Batman suit ) and , more recently , an executive . Affleck founded Artists Equity , which he runs with Damon and Gerry Cardinale , a little over two years ago , with the idea of wresting back some control from the notoriously opaque and complex studio financing system . Air ( 2023 ) , the last film Affleck directed , was an Artists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sequel to the improbably successful 2016 action film , which Affleck stars in and is in cinemas in April . Throughout all of it , Affleck has retained what I can only describe as his humanity . He is a former Sexiest Man Alive who is also routinely caught on camera dropping packages or spilling coffee . He is still , despite years of being burned by a celebrity-industrial complex that has never left him alone , incredibly honest and talkative in front of an interviewer . At the end of our first conversation , he almost apologises for how much he 's been speaking -- " I mean , I feel like I 'm not a great interview in some ways because I 'll just talk about whatever you bring up . " That last part is true . GQ : Speaking of tabloids , one story I read this week , was that the FBI visited your house . Ben Affleck : Good example . As it turns out , the FBI did , in fact , visit my house . But this is pretty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see there 's a story with sources that say , " Hey , the FBI was at your house . " I 'm like , " Well , this is strange . " So I call them and say , " Hey , FBI , were you at my house ? Do you want to talk to me ? " " Oh , we do n't know . " I get transferred along . Finally somebody who is actually responsible for what was happening was like , " Oh , we had no idea that was your house . " There was a break-in of a federal official 's home in that area . So the FBI went around and whoever lived there , the FBI rang their bell , but because there are photographers sitting outside and these guys have their FBI jackets on , then it 's : the FBI has visited your house . Whoever wrote the story made up something about how it was related to an investigation about a drone that I guess did crash into one of the helicopters two or three miles up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't about that . In fact , we were very far from where the drone was . So it 's like : you 've seen this event about the FBI at my house . I had no idea . My only involvement was to track it down , figure it out . Does it still feel odd to you that some stranger will show up in front of you and be like , I know you got a FedEx package yesterday ? I 'm aware that it 's absurd and it 's ridiculous . There 's nothing newsworthy at all about the day-to-day events of my life or the conversation I have with one person or another person that 's photographed . And often it 's like the big trick is to say So-and-so does this amid that , imply some correlation between the two . In other words , some broad event is taking place in some way , whether globally or around this person 's life . And look , here they are frustrated with the parking meter . I 'm definitely aware of the cosmic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ focusing on is : look , I know what 's going on in my life . And also , really more importantly , my kids know . We used to have a thing , my ex-wife and I , when they would see something on a supermarket stand , we would say , well , " You know this is n't always true because if it were , you would have 15 brothers or sisters or whatever the number of stories is where they said that your mom was pregnant . " And I 'm really lucky that I have a really good co-parent and partner in Jennifer Garner , the kids ' mom , who 's wonderful and great and we work together well . It 's more of a headache than anything else and there certainly are worse things . I have yet to figure out why I 'm an object of -- You do n't have a theory ? I think I do n't present in a very careful way . So I 'll go out and pick up the packages or deliveries and I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my picture . And some people are probably , I guess you 'd call them smarter or more strategic because they think , well : " I do n't want to be seen wearing some T-shirt or spilling some drink . " And I just think : Oh fuck it , man , I could give a shit . I just want to get the coffee . So maybe that 's a part of it , because people are accustomed to a more presented , curated image . My life is actually pretty drama-free . And so even if I have the same events that people have -- I 'm sure in your mind you 're thinking , Oh , well , you just got divorced . That 's not drama-free . And I understand that instinct , but all of this is pretty adult , and for all the sensational stuff that gets written , if somebody sat down and talked to me about it , and I said , " Well , this is really the experience , " their eyes would glaze over with boredom . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now ? You did just get divorced from Jennifer Lopez . And there is a scene in a documentary she put out last year called The Greatest Love Story Never Told -- really , there 's more than one scene , actually ; the entire premise of the film is , she 's like : " We 're private people , but we have public dimensions as artists and I 'm about to put a lot of us out there . " And you 're on camera , and your face as this is revealed to you is -- and I 'm only guessing -- but it looks like you 're taking a deep breath , like , Oh fuck , here we go again . But also : I love and support this person . Part of it was , " OK , if I 'm going to participate in this , I want to try to do it in an honest way and in a way that 's interesting . " Because I thought it was an interesting examination . Like I mentioned to you before , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ handled celebrity more adeptly and more adroitly than I have , Jennifer among them . My temperament is to be a little bit more reserved and private than hers . As happens in relationships , you do n't always have the same attitude towards these things . And so I thought , Oh , this is interesting because how do you reconcile that ? Because exactly what you said is true . I love and support this person . I believe in them . They 're great . I want people to see that . And I think the thing that I said in that documentary or the piece that they used was where I said , You do n't marry a ship 's captain and then say , " Well , I do n't like going out in the water . " You 've got to own what you knew going into any relationship . And I think it 's important to say that was n't the cause of some major fracture . It 's not like you can watch that documentary and go , " Oh , now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We 're sitting in the conference room of your production company , Artists Equity . Do you actually 9-to-5 it here ? I do . The reason that I first did this was because I recognised that the most important thing to me was both being a parent and being present , and that for my own sake , going off to Austin or Louisiana or somewhere to do some movie , I was really missing time I could never get back . My kids were 8 , 11 , and 14 , and I felt like : I do n't want to miss any of this time at all . And so I thought , well , Let me figure out a way to work at home and have the kind of job where I can actually be here and build my schedule around that . Have you ever taken any time off in your career ? Not on purpose . We were formed by our experiences , right ? I remember struggling to be an actor , and just those years seem bigger and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my life at this point . But in my teenage years , early 20s , all that time where you do n't know if it 's ever going to work , or is anyone going to give me a chance ? Really , my ambition was just not to have to say , well , " I 'm an actor , a filmmaker , writer-slash-waiter , " but to actually get to do that job for a living . And I think when I first had the opportunity to work and for , I do n't know , 15 years or something after that , I was more afraid that I would n't get the opportunity if I stopped moving . Your father wanted to be a writer and a director as well , and it did n't work out for him . Do you think that feeling of not ever wanting to stop is somehow related to the way you grew up ? I 'm sure it is . My father had ambitions to be an actor and to be a director and to be a writer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and seeing a father , when he was around , that I believe at the time was plagued by a sense of not having accomplished what he wanted . He was a car mechanic and bartender and a janitor and a head of the custodial team at a college and stuff . And so I definitely am aware of that fact , and I 've talked about this with other actors who come from environments where they feel like there was a parent that could n't do it , you know what I mean ? And that felt insecure . It 's a lot harder for those people to turn things down . And ironically , the ability to say no , it 's a real paradox in this business , but the ability to say no is actually much more useful . You started Artists Equity two and a half years ago . The theory was : everyone shares risk , everyone shares reward . How have people done so far ? We 're doing really well . Part of the fundamental thesis of this company was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they 're going to get a broader freedom to spend the money in a way that they think maximally benefits the movie . The downside is you also have to take some of the responsibilities . If it goes over budget , well , that eats into your ownership . My belief was this is going to really align incentives in a way that 's going to be healthier for everybody ... The crews ' rates , the last time we looked , were about 15 per cent higher than their highest quotes because we do a bonusing system . So if you 're a crew , and we 've had a couple of different models that we 've experimented with , but the first was sort of like : " Here 's our goals , and if we reach them , there 's extra compensation in it for everybody on the crew . You 'll get additional bonus . " It creates a more collaborative experience . What do you think the future of the company is ? I feel like , OK , now we 've @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we 've delivered a lot of movies and we have a bunch the public has n't seen but that I feel really good about what we 're about to deliver , and a bunch that we 're about to start production on . So in that sense , I feel like that 's step one . Step two , we have a data project that we 're sort of integrating -- This is referring to AI ? You are seemingly one of the few people in the industry to be like : " I 'm open to the idea . " No , actually -- when I talk about AI , I 'm really talking in broad terms about what we need to do as an industry . I myself am not personally doing AI , obviously , but I am really looking very closely at what this is going to mean for this business and this art form . The first time I saw it , I felt terrified . I thought , We 're going to be destroyed . What we do is clearly just being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all this energy and time and commitment and going out and filming stories and trying to bring them to life , and here the computer can sort of do this with a keystroke . And what I learned is you actually really ca n't do that with a keystroke . And , in fact , what we do is probably more resistant to disintermediation by AI than most other businesses , frankly , and most other jobs . But also that it actually should be a useful tool . Part of my eagerness around it is because I really would like to participate in defining , for example , the residual streams that I know are going to accompany this . If they 're not defined now , it 'll be much harder to do it . An example I 've heard you use was , OK , well , people can sort of do their own episode of Succession . And I was like , well , that seems dark and dystopian to me . Now , if you 're on Succession , and this is where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have the ability on any show , whatever , to say : " I want to opt out of being regenerated . " Because what that means is , well , I may not have said that line or done that . I 'm not comfortable with that , but also you have to say , if I opt in , I should be compensated alongside everyone else who 's making money from this because I 'm OK with it . You should be able to dictate that , and there should be clearly delineated residual structures that compensate people for that . So if someone came to you and was like , " I 'm doing the Good Will Hunting cinematic universe , and I want the rights to young Matt and young Ben , " what would you say ? I would n't necessarily be comfortable with that , although , I do n't know . No one 's ever asked me that . So I 'm not sure . It also feels weird because that movie feels connected to a time when that was n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and , frankly , great -- if your beneficiaries want to sell your likeness to do voiceovers for Visa or something , I do n't know , who am I to say ? Go knock yourself out . I 'll be gone . So if it 's still worth something to my grandkids , go ahead and sell it . There 's something interesting about hearing you in executive mode , and then industry-prophet mode , and then to think about you going to work on The Accountant 2 set as a working actor . Is there a push/pull there ? When I got into this -- and I wanted to be a director , and I had directed short films and was trying to write and obviously be an actor -- it was a time when this sort of DIY thing was just starting . You had Cassavetes , you had independent filmmakers , but the ' 90s is when you had Reservoir Dogs and Clerks and Slacker and 1989 's Do the Right Thing , and there were these movies that were made by people outside @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were interesting and they were ambitious . And what I learned about when I was coming up and had ambitions to start doing this was , " Oh look , if you get Harvey Keitel to do your movie , you can get a million dollars and you can make Reservoir Dogs . " So Matt Damon , with whom you wrote Good Will Hunting , is an interesting counterpoint to you in the sense that he has rarely seemed to want to do anything other than act . As much as I want to be an actor , I find it most satisfying directing movies . Now , I thought you were going to compare our acting careers , to which I would 've said , well , Matt learned and knew earlier than I did to really key in on the director as the fundamental basis on which he 's going to make a decision whether to do a movie or not , which was a very wise choice . And also he has certainly had opportunities to do movies that like -- it 's not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no , Spielberg , I 'm not going to be in your movie . " We 're in situations of our opportunities , and we 're subject to that . What pulls you back to acting at this point ? I really feel like I started liking my work the most when I arrived at a point of , I could kind of take it or leave it . Where directing became a central focus , and I just thought , well , I 'm going to act in things that I just really love . Why do you think it took you so long to get to that place ? Late bloomer . Really ? Actually , yeah , in some ways . I think also I 'm kind of in awe of actors who can generate the sense of life experience that they have n't had . That 's not a gift that I have . I think I am able , as an actor at best , to take the sort of fragments of experiences that I 've had that have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that kind of suit the needs of the character that I 'm playing . I was reflecting on the fact that you are maybe not thought of as a very personal actor , but that there is a lot of your life in roles you 've taken , whether Good Will Hunting , which has some of your dad in it , or Hollywoodland and Gone Girl , which are kind of about fame and reckoning with the spotlight , or more recently , The Way Back , in which you played an alcoholic . A lot of those later on became evident , maybe more evident . And I knew with The Way Back , like , " OK , look , people know I 'm an alcoholic or in recovery , I 'm going to have to have a conversation about this . " I did n't really mind that . I maybe underestimated the degree to which -- I did n't have any ambitions to be the national spokesman for recovering alcoholics . And not because I have any shame with it or anything . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more than five years , it 's just not something that is at the forefront of my mind . It 's not the central preoccupation of my life . But at the time , it was something that I was definitely wrestling with and thinking about . And also I was totally aware that my own lived experience meant that I was able to bring something to it that I thought would make it feel more real and connect with people more . Now , I had n't lost a child , thank God , which is what really was at the core of that story , and I ca n't imagine anything worse than that in life . So it is both . It is a combination . You bring some things to it and you have to imagine others . If I could have , I would 've kept the fact that I 'm sober anonymous , because I think it works better that way . And I did n't ask for that to become something people knew about . But I ca n't complain about it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ life , if something happened like that , people were going to know about it , and they did . And I have arrived at a place where I think of that experience as part of my life in authentically grateful ways , whereas I did n't think such a thing was possible before . So that sort of is what it is . A few days later , Affleck and I meet again , this time in his office at Artists Equity , where a cabinet holds two Oscars next to the distinctive popcorn shape of an MTV Movie Award . Some of the fire-related tabloid storm around him has subsided , and he seems more at ease . Or maybe it 's just the majestic cardigan from Brunello Cucinelli that he 's wearing . " Very elite , very fashion-forward , " he says , self-deprecatingly . How 's the last conversation sitting ? Well , on the one hand there 's the first feeling , which is like , well , I hope I was clear about , when you asked me about Jen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sort of personal life a little bit , which I do n't mind doing as long as my actual feelings and intentions and beliefs are communicated , which I hope I was clear that really this is somebody I have a lot of respect for . And I get wanting to divine or explore the kind of differences in perspective that we have in terms of how a person feels comfortable approaching the line between public and private life . But I really hope that whatever you use does n't suggest that I have any negativity or judgment or anything regarding that . I have nothing but respect . I guess there 's a tendency to look at breakups and want to identify root causes or something . But honestly , like I said , the truth is much more quotidian than probably people would believe or would be interesting . Quotidian in the sense that there 's not some major thing ? Yeah , there 's no scandal , no soap opera , no intrigue . The truth is , when you talk to somebody , " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no : " This is what happened . " It 's just a story about people trying to figure out their lives and relationships in ways that we all sort of normally do . And as you get older , this is true for me , I assume it 's true for most people , there is no " So-and-so did this " or " This was the big event . " It 's really , it sounds more like a couple 's therapy session , which -- you would tune out of someone else 's couple 's therapy after a while . For one thing , you start going , " OK , clearly this person has got these issues . Clearly they have these issues . " And the reason I do n't want to share that is just sort of embarrassing . It feels vulnerable . I was thinking about our last conversation , and I think one reason you are asked so frequently about tabloid stuff is that you speak really well about it -- like you 've clearly thought hard about that world and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 've been forced into analysing it to try to figure it out , to understand : what is it ? Because naturally you go , like , " OK , maybe I 'll just wear the same outfit every single day , so the pictures wo n't be distinguishable . " Or maybe : " I 'll just look like a slob , " and I 'm like , nope -- then you become the sad Affleck meme spilling the coffee . Which I have to say I think is kind of funny . So I think it 's just a function of the fact that I 've spent time thinking about really trying to figure it out . You 're 52 . When you do a movie like TheAccountant 2 now , are you like , " I only have so many more action movies left in me " ? Physically ? Yes , definitely . I used to be very gung ho about like , " Oh , I 'll do the fights , I 'll do the stunts . " And now I am very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to come in and do this ? " Part of it 's because I know they 're just better at it than I am , and you want somebody who looks good doing it . From a totally selfish perspective , you just get banged up and tired . It 's one of the things I was talking to Matt about -- he 's going off to do this Chris Nolan movie The Odyssey and doing a lot of stunt rehearsal , and it was kind of like , Boy , it 's been a while , has n't it ? Where you really have to go and learn the fights -- this is Bourne Identity kind of territory . But why I think The Accountant was interesting to me -- one , I really like fusing drama about characters that are interesting to me , with genres and storytelling tropes that are familiar to the audience and viewed as more commercial . And actually it turns out the audience has , there 's a bigger audience and they 're more patient around some of the dramatic-character stuff @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into more high-stakes visual stuff like that . And The Accountant is very much in keeping with that in the sense that it 's really kind of an interesting character story about this guy and his brother who are unusual characters . I think about my acting career as a kind of strange outlier . I think I 'm really lucky that I was able to do it for long enough to get to a place where I started to feel really good about it and it started to be really fun . I needed to do it a bunch first . And I look back on movies in a pretty objective way now from when I was younger . Like maybe Good Will Hunting , or Shakespeare in Love , or there 's a Boiler Room or Changing Lanes where I 'm like , " Oh , that was good . That guy , he did n't really know what the fuck he was doing but managed to do some stuff that was good . " There 's stuff that I 'm not proud of and I think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I doing ? So I 'm lucky personally that I was able to hang around . I think of my career as having two basic arcs in a way where it could have really gone away for me entirely . And directing sort of helped me resurrect that . And it also made me smarter and more careful and more thoughtful . You mentioned having to resurrect your career , which was around 2003 -- 2005 , when you had a bunch of acting roles that did n't work and had n't yet directed Gone Baby Gone . But it feels like 20 years on , the person in my seat is still trying to plot your location on some sort of Comeback Graph . It 's such a backhanded compliment . It 's like people who meet you and go , " You 're actually a pretty good-looking person , " or " You 're actually a pretty nice guy ! " I did definitely have to do a real and very serious comeback . I had to do a lot of work . It was really @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me was to become really successful young and to feel all of a sudden a lot of people liked me and I was funny and cool and everybody laughed at even the not-great jokes , and to then become unpopular and uncool and not somebody who , if you had a relationship with that person , it was any good for your career . In fact , maybe even the opposite . And to see what happened to relationships that I really believed were real relationships and friendships as well as just the scale of who I 'm talking to , who 's calling you , who is n't , or just to see your world change in that way . You mentioned directing being your path back , and at this point , I 'm surprised when you act in other people 's stuff . Like , if you direct , you can control every variable . Acting , not so much . No , you 're not in control as an actor . That 's an important lesson . This may have been a somewhat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you would tell about being on the Justice League set , in a hotel room in London , and you 're by yourself , miserable , drinking -- Quite a bit . Exactly . And it would be understandable if you were like , yeah , " I 'm never doing that again . " There are a number of reasons why that was a really excruciating experience . And they do n't all have to do with the simple dynamic of , say , being in a superhero movie or whatever . I am not interested in going down that particular genre again , not because of that bad experience , but just : I 've lost interest in what was of interest about it to me . But I certainly would n't want to replicate an experience like that . A lot of it was misalignment of agendas , understandings , expectations . And also by the way , I was n't bringing anything particularly wonderful to that equation at the time , either . I had my own failings , significant failings , in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an actor or a person ? I mean , my failings as an actor , you can watch the various movies and judge . But more of my failings of , in terms of why I had a bad experience , part of it is that what I was bringing to work every day was a lot of unhappiness . So I was n't bringing a lot of positive energy to the equation . I did n't cause problems , but I came in and I did my job and I went home . But you 've got to do a little bit better than that . Anyway , the point is , this work , this job is actually a way of trying to avoid that situation . I want to put together partnerships and filmmakers and cast and a studio apparatus that 's aligned , where precisely that kind of misalignment does n't happen and you have a much better work experience . Do you have a coherent thought or postmortem on your time with the Batman character ? I had a really good time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Batman v Superman . And I liked my brief stints on The Flash that I did and when I got to work with Viola Davis on Suicide Squad for a day or two . In terms of creatively , I really think that I like the idea and the ambition that I had for it , which was of the sort of older , broken , damaged Bruce Wayne . And it was something we really went for in the first movie . But what happened was it started to skew too old for a big part of the audience . Like even my own son at the time was too scared to watch the movie . And so when I saw that I was like , " Oh shit , we have a problem . " Then I think that 's when you had a filmmaker that wanted to continue down that road and a studio that wanted to recapture all the younger audience at cross purposes . Then you have two entities , two people really wanting to do something different and that is a really bad @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ few supporting parts , like in The Tender Bar and The Last Duel , but you 've since drifted back toward the centre of movies again . Do you have a theory about why you are effective as a leading man ? I 'm not self-aware enough really to know . But I have seen people write about or describe me , whether it 's typically in reviews , which I mostly generally read , reviews certainly of the major critics that I know or I 'm interested in . I was just reading something the other day , where what stands out is : " Affleck , of course , works successfully as , " I think it was , " a tarnished leading man . " Where I was like , " Oh , I see , this is my wheelhouse . " Sort of the Gone Girl archetype , ranging from that to " Yes , he 's our leading guy , he sort of seems that way , but we all know that underneath is a profoundly flawed person . " And I am drawn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's what makes them interesting . So maybe I play into that . I think also part of that has got to be , it 's been , I do n't know , almost 30 years that I 've been doing this in the sort of public or semi-public life . Imagine just the volume of stuff that -- and particularly certain years where it was just relentlessly negative and exaggerated , but nonetheless -- the impression of a " tarnished leading man " sort of makes sense to me . Because I know , for example , people will see Matt Damon one way and me another way . Just the classic comparison . I still meet people , and I 'm sure you do too , who still really think you and Matt are your respective characters from Good Will Hunting . Oh , dude , what I did n't realise when we made that movie was that everybody who saw that movie would more or less assume that we were those characters . I really thought , Oh , I 'll turn in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is , the better it will be for me , because the whole goal of that movie , really for Matt and I in terms of why we started , was to get work as actors . It was very easy to convince people since it was the first time they saw me that that was exactly who I was . The thing about that is , I 've read some interviews of mine from back then , and I kind of think , This is a person who 's trying to use the longest words that they know . I felt a little bit like my grandfather . I was trying to be like , " Look , I 'm not stupid . Look , I 'm smart . " Which is unfortunate because that energy of , " Look at me , look , I 'm this , look I 'm that , " always has the opposite effect . It 's like , why is this guy selling me this car so hard ? I have wondered about this -- after Good Will Hunting , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and not all of those big films are fully coherent from a script or conceptual perspective , did you ever feel trapped ? I 'm thinking of something like your now famous Armageddon DVD commentary track , where you basically say , " This movie makes no sense . " That is one of the achievements of my career for which I 'm willing to pat myself on the back . I believe that may be at least in the top five all-time DVD commentaries . By the way , nobody said anything to me . I do n't think any of the other people listened to it or gave a fuck until years later when it was played . And I was kind of shocked and appalled that I went on there and started being like ... I mean , that 's all true . Everything I said was a hundred per cent true , but that 's the point . You 're not supposed to go on there and tell all of the truth . I never expected , " Oh , this is going to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to go do a big Hollywood action movie and I love it . And yes , during the movie , I was kind of surprised to find that sometimes they were n't all that interested in making sense . I remember Billy Bob Thornton was having a long conversation about a scene in the space mission control or whatever it was , and he was like , " No , that 's OK , man . I can stop talking about it . I just kind of like to be in the kind of movies that make sense , you know what I mean ? But fuck it , we do n't have to do that . We 're not doing that on this one . Fuck it . " And I was the only person who was kind of like , " OK , I guess we do n't operate by those other rules here . " But there 's a sense of being small and of this thing being big . And so I felt like a little ant on the elephant when I would shoot my mouth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the director of Armageddon about why is it easier to train oil drillers to be astronauts than to train astronauts to drill a hole in the ground ? How long in Hollywood did you feel like the equivalent of that ant ? Good Will Hunting came out -- we were coming out the same month as another film , which I was told was a disaster and was going to be a terrible bomb , which was Titanic . Not a bomb ! But actually it was such a phenomenal success that I think it really helped our movie because I think people would go to see Titanic and it would be sold out and they 'd be like , " Fuck , what else is here ? I guess we 'll see the Boston kids in that movie with Robin Williams . " So I did n't quite have a sense of being famous in any way . But then , if there 's a kind of overnight experience , I had it , because the Oscars that year happened to be the highest rated in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ popular movie , was nominated . The vast majority of people that watched the Oscars that night , it was tens of millions , certainly had n't seen the movie , but our little kind of fairy-tale story was very appealing . And so I was shooting Dogma and we had flown back to LA to do the Oscars and flew back to Pittsburgh . And when I got back there , I remember there was a huge crowd outside our little crummy trailers , and I took pictures . Because I was like , This is amazing . I 'm going to remember this . I thought , Oh , this is a fleeting thing . I was 25 , and I thought , This is insane . And it always felt to me like one of those movies where one character goes in another character 's body . Like , oh , this is where you 're going to get to be in the body of Ringo Starr or something . Somebody else 's life . It was somebody else 's life . And it took @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that sense . So I do remember that shift , to answer your question . I remember feeling very small . And then I did n't feel big , but I felt thrust out in front . And I remember feeling not sure . Like : how does a person behave ? What does a person do ? How does a person handle this ? And sometimes I did stupid things and feel embarrassed of ridiculous , goofy things I said , because I really did n't know , like , am I here doing Jackass or something ? Am I just running through the background streaking across the Oscars naked and that 's my character ? You can feel uninvited or , it 's going to go away soon . And so , " Oh , you might as well turn around and mug at the camera because clearly they 're going to usher you off . " And it took a long time . There 's no playbook . When we were talking about Matt the other day , you made , I think it was mostly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " If Scorsese or Spielberg had called , I would 've taken those calls . " I would 've taken Saving Private Ryan . If Martin Scorsese called me and told me to play a waiter , I would take it . Steven Spielberg is one of the great filmmaking architects to ever live . I feel that way about Chris Nolan . I may go visit Matt on the set just to watch Nolan direct . I 'm not even kidding at all . Do you feel overlooked in some way by the great directors of your generation ? No . There are a couple different approaches to acting that I 've noticed other actors have . Some look at it as a zero-sum game . Like if this person 's in that part , they 're in my way . And if they were lopped off at the knees , then I could either move up one spot in the long line or I might actually have that part . I feel like you kind of make your own work . And I do n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Leo ? Should be me . " I really do n't ... If I was going to obsess over something , it would be more about how I really see myself as a director . I think that 's what , if you asked me , is there something that you would like to be recognised for ? If you pick one thing , I would say it was that . But I also do n't feel that I 've been denied or thwarted . I feel really lucky . This gets back to something I asked you before , which is , given that , why do n't you just direct ? Because it 's so consuming . The one regret I have about all the movies that I 've directed is the amount of time it 's taken me away from my kids . I love making art . I loved making The Town . But I was away from my kids for long periods of time . There 's little chunks that I missed , and that does n't feel good . And I think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , part of why I love it , is because I 'm in LA . When we 're done at 2.30 , I 'm going to go , and I 'll be home at 3.45 when my kids get off the bus . And I 'm able to construct a life that does that . And that means more to me than any of it . That makes me happier .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'opt out of being regenerated', which is a different construction where 'opt out of' is followed by a gerund phrase, but lacks the necessary NP object and the specific interpretations (movement/extraction or prevention) associated with the transitive out of -ing construction.

Since founding a production company with a genuinely radical vision , Ben Affleck has chosen to make films as an executive first , a director second , and an actor third . But can you really just stop being one of the biggest film stars on earth ? From the window of the conference room at Artists Equity , Ben Affleck 's production company , you can see Los Angeles spread out for miles to the south -- the Pacific Ocean to the right , Downtown to the left , birds gently flying over everything in between . It 's a Monday in January , not quite two weeks after fires first began to sweep over the city , and the birds are oddly calming : the first few tentative signs of life returning . Affleck -- tall , a little rumpled , extending a large mitt of a hand -- is as jittery as the rest of us , though largely unscathed , despite reports to the contrary . " I noticed that there 's been stories about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ My house burning down and all these various things . " His house did not burn down , in fact , nor did the one he rents down the block from that house , though like many , he had to leave for a little bit . But he is used to having to clear stuff like this up . " I was thinking to myself that this person 's impression " -- meaning mine -- " of my week is probably formed by three Daily Mail articles that are mostly absurd . " Affleck first became widely known with 1997 's Good Will Hunting , which he wrote and starred in alongside his friend Matt Damon . He is nearing his 30th uninterrupted year in the spotlight , which has given him a career and two Academy Awards , and also a level of tabloid scrutiny that in its consistency and vehemence is almost unmatched . " Some people like to follow the soap opera , " Affleck says . " And that soap opera is actually independent of a movie you might make or be in . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you became a character in that soap opera . You do n't write it , you do n't direct it , you do n't even know you 're in it , but you are . " This soap opera has provided Affleck with a backstory that is almost classical in its shape : sudden rise , dramatic fall ( 2003 's Gigli , co-starring Affleck 's then and future love interest Jennifer Lopez , is usually cited here ) , gradual comeback -- primarily as a director , with 2007 's Gone Baby Gone , 2010 's The Town , and 2012 's Argo , which won the best picture Oscar -- and then rise again , like the phoenix tattoo that was once grainily photographed on his bare back . None of this is exactly right , though all of it has elements of truth , and Affleck has been shadowboxing with this version of himself , the soap opera character version , for most of his adult life . To this day , he still meets people who assume he is his dim , rock-breaking character from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the genius role ( " Matt 's maths skills , I am pretty sure , are very far from genius level " ) , or the attention-plagued playboy that was his public role in the first decade of this century . In reality , Affleck is 52 , a twice-divorced father of three who commutes to an office most days . " I 'm a middle-aged guy , " he says , not unhappily . Despite the comeback narrative that journalists still reference , week to week and year to year , he has long been ensconced in the very top levels of Hollywood as a leading man ( in the lobby of Artists Equity there is , among other things , Affleck 's old Batman suit ) and , more recently , an executive . Affleck founded Artists Equity , which he runs with Damon and Gerry Cardinale , a little over two years ago , with the idea of wresting back some control from the notoriously opaque and complex studio financing system . Air ( 2023 ) , the last film Affleck directed , was an Artists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sequel to the improbably successful 2016 action film , which Affleck stars in and is in cinemas in April . Throughout all of it , Affleck has retained what I can only describe as his humanity . He is a former Sexiest Man Alive who is also routinely caught on camera dropping packages or spilling coffee . He is still , despite years of being burned by a celebrity-industrial complex that has never left him alone , incredibly honest and talkative in front of an interviewer . At the end of our first conversation , he almost apologises for how much he 's been speaking -- " I mean , I feel like I 'm not a great interview in some ways because I 'll just talk about whatever you bring up . " That last part is true . GQ : Speaking of tabloids , one story I read this week , was that the FBI visited your house . Ben Affleck : Good example . As it turns out , the FBI did , in fact , visit my house . But this is pretty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see there 's a story with sources that say , " Hey , the FBI was at your house . " I 'm like , " Well , this is strange . " So I call them and say , " Hey , FBI , were you at my house ? Do you want to talk to me ? " " Oh , we do n't know . " I get transferred along . Finally somebody who is actually responsible for what was happening was like , " Oh , we had no idea that was your house . " There was a break-in of a federal official 's home in that area . So the FBI went around and whoever lived there , the FBI rang their bell , but because there are photographers sitting outside and these guys have their FBI jackets on , then it 's : the FBI has visited your house . Whoever wrote the story made up something about how it was related to an investigation about a drone that I guess did crash into one of the helicopters two or three miles up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't about that . In fact , we were very far from where the drone was . So it 's like : you 've seen this event about the FBI at my house . I had no idea . My only involvement was to track it down , figure it out . Does it still feel odd to you that some stranger will show up in front of you and be like , I know you got a FedEx package yesterday ? I 'm aware that it 's absurd and it 's ridiculous . There 's nothing newsworthy at all about the day-to-day events of my life or the conversation I have with one person or another person that 's photographed . And often it 's like the big trick is to say So-and-so does this amid that , imply some correlation between the two . In other words , some broad event is taking place in some way , whether globally or around this person 's life . And look , here they are frustrated with the parking meter . I 'm definitely aware of the cosmic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ focusing on is : look , I know what 's going on in my life . And also , really more importantly , my kids know . We used to have a thing , my ex-wife and I , when they would see something on a supermarket stand , we would say , well , " You know this is n't always true because if it were , you would have 15 brothers or sisters or whatever the number of stories is where they said that your mom was pregnant . " And I 'm really lucky that I have a really good co-parent and partner in Jennifer Garner , the kids ' mom , who 's wonderful and great and we work together well . It 's more of a headache than anything else and there certainly are worse things . I have yet to figure out why I 'm an object of -- You do n't have a theory ? I think I do n't present in a very careful way . So I 'll go out and pick up the packages or deliveries and I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my picture . And some people are probably , I guess you 'd call them smarter or more strategic because they think , well : " I do n't want to be seen wearing some T-shirt or spilling some drink . " And I just think : Oh fuck it , man , I could give a shit . I just want to get the coffee . So maybe that 's a part of it , because people are accustomed to a more presented , curated image . My life is actually pretty drama-free . And so even if I have the same events that people have -- I 'm sure in your mind you 're thinking , Oh , well , you just got divorced . That 's not drama-free . And I understand that instinct , but all of this is pretty adult , and for all the sensational stuff that gets written , if somebody sat down and talked to me about it , and I said , " Well , this is really the experience , " their eyes would glaze over with boredom . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now ? You did just get divorced from Jennifer Lopez . And there is a scene in a documentary she put out last year called The Greatest Love Story Never Told -- really , there 's more than one scene , actually ; the entire premise of the film is , she 's like : " We 're private people , but we have public dimensions as artists and I 'm about to put a lot of us out there . " And you 're on camera , and your face as this is revealed to you is -- and I 'm only guessing -- but it looks like you 're taking a deep breath , like , Oh fuck , here we go again . But also : I love and support this person . Part of it was , " OK , if I 'm going to participate in this , I want to try to do it in an honest way and in a way that 's interesting . " Because I thought it was an interesting examination . Like I mentioned to you before , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ handled celebrity more adeptly and more adroitly than I have , Jennifer among them . My temperament is to be a little bit more reserved and private than hers . As happens in relationships , you do n't always have the same attitude towards these things . And so I thought , Oh , this is interesting because how do you reconcile that ? Because exactly what you said is true . I love and support this person . I believe in them . They 're great . I want people to see that . And I think the thing that I said in that documentary or the piece that they used was where I said , You do n't marry a ship 's captain and then say , " Well , I do n't like going out in the water . " You 've got to own what you knew going into any relationship . And I think it 's important to say that was n't the cause of some major fracture . It 's not like you can watch that documentary and go , " Oh , now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We 're sitting in the conference room of your production company , Artists Equity . Do you actually 9-to-5 it here ? I do . The reason that I first did this was because I recognised that the most important thing to me was both being a parent and being present , and that for my own sake , going off to Austin or Louisiana or somewhere to do some movie , I was really missing time I could never get back . My kids were 8 , 11 , and 14 , and I felt like : I do n't want to miss any of this time at all . And so I thought , well , Let me figure out a way to work at home and have the kind of job where I can actually be here and build my schedule around that . Have you ever taken any time off in your career ? Not on purpose . We were formed by our experiences , right ? I remember struggling to be an actor , and just those years seem bigger and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my life at this point . But in my teenage years , early 20s , all that time where you do n't know if it 's ever going to work , or is anyone going to give me a chance ? Really , my ambition was just not to have to say , well , " I 'm an actor , a filmmaker , writer-slash-waiter , " but to actually get to do that job for a living . And I think when I first had the opportunity to work and for , I do n't know , 15 years or something after that , I was more afraid that I would n't get the opportunity if I stopped moving . Your father wanted to be a writer and a director as well , and it did n't work out for him . Do you think that feeling of not ever wanting to stop is somehow related to the way you grew up ? I 'm sure it is . My father had ambitions to be an actor and to be a director and to be a writer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and seeing a father , when he was around , that I believe at the time was plagued by a sense of not having accomplished what he wanted . He was a car mechanic and bartender and a janitor and a head of the custodial team at a college and stuff . And so I definitely am aware of that fact , and I 've talked about this with other actors who come from environments where they feel like there was a parent that could n't do it , you know what I mean ? And that felt insecure . It 's a lot harder for those people to turn things down . And ironically , the ability to say no , it 's a real paradox in this business , but the ability to say no is actually much more useful . You started Artists Equity two and a half years ago . The theory was : everyone shares risk , everyone shares reward . How have people done so far ? We 're doing really well . Part of the fundamental thesis of this company was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they 're going to get a broader freedom to spend the money in a way that they think maximally benefits the movie . The downside is you also have to take some of the responsibilities . If it goes over budget , well , that eats into your ownership . My belief was this is going to really align incentives in a way that 's going to be healthier for everybody ... The crews ' rates , the last time we looked , were about 15 per cent higher than their highest quotes because we do a bonusing system . So if you 're a crew , and we 've had a couple of different models that we 've experimented with , but the first was sort of like : " Here 's our goals , and if we reach them , there 's extra compensation in it for everybody on the crew . You 'll get additional bonus . " It creates a more collaborative experience . What do you think the future of the company is ? I feel like , OK , now we 've @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we 've delivered a lot of movies and we have a bunch the public has n't seen but that I feel really good about what we 're about to deliver , and a bunch that we 're about to start production on . So in that sense , I feel like that 's step one . Step two , we have a data project that we 're sort of integrating -- This is referring to AI ? You are seemingly one of the few people in the industry to be like : " I 'm open to the idea . " No , actually -- when I talk about AI , I 'm really talking in broad terms about what we need to do as an industry . I myself am not personally doing AI , obviously , but I am really looking very closely at what this is going to mean for this business and this art form . The first time I saw it , I felt terrified . I thought , We 're going to be destroyed . What we do is clearly just being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all this energy and time and commitment and going out and filming stories and trying to bring them to life , and here the computer can sort of do this with a keystroke . And what I learned is you actually really ca n't do that with a keystroke . And , in fact , what we do is probably more resistant to disintermediation by AI than most other businesses , frankly , and most other jobs . But also that it actually should be a useful tool . Part of my eagerness around it is because I really would like to participate in defining , for example , the residual streams that I know are going to accompany this . If they 're not defined now , it 'll be much harder to do it . An example I 've heard you use was , OK , well , people can sort of do their own episode of Succession . And I was like , well , that seems dark and dystopian to me . Now , if you 're on Succession , and this is where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have the ability on any show , whatever , to say : " I want to opt out of being regenerated . " Because what that means is , well , I may not have said that line or done that . I 'm not comfortable with that , but also you have to say , if I opt in , I should be compensated alongside everyone else who 's making money from this because I 'm OK with it . You should be able to dictate that , and there should be clearly delineated residual structures that compensate people for that . So if someone came to you and was like , " I 'm doing the Good Will Hunting cinematic universe , and I want the rights to young Matt and young Ben , " what would you say ? I would n't necessarily be comfortable with that , although , I do n't know . No one 's ever asked me that . So I 'm not sure . It also feels weird because that movie feels connected to a time when that was n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and , frankly , great -- if your beneficiaries want to sell your likeness to do voiceovers for Visa or something , I do n't know , who am I to say ? Go knock yourself out . I 'll be gone . So if it 's still worth something to my grandkids , go ahead and sell it . There 's something interesting about hearing you in executive mode , and then industry-prophet mode , and then to think about you going to work on The Accountant 2 set as a working actor . Is there a push/pull there ? When I got into this -- and I wanted to be a director , and I had directed short films and was trying to write and obviously be an actor -- it was a time when this sort of DIY thing was just starting . You had Cassavetes , you had independent filmmakers , but the ' 90s is when you had Reservoir Dogs and Clerks and Slacker and 1989 's Do the Right Thing , and there were these movies that were made by people outside @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were interesting and they were ambitious . And what I learned about when I was coming up and had ambitions to start doing this was , " Oh look , if you get Harvey Keitel to do your movie , you can get a million dollars and you can make Reservoir Dogs . " So Matt Damon , with whom you wrote Good Will Hunting , is an interesting counterpoint to you in the sense that he has rarely seemed to want to do anything other than act . As much as I want to be an actor , I find it most satisfying directing movies . Now , I thought you were going to compare our acting careers , to which I would 've said , well , Matt learned and knew earlier than I did to really key in on the director as the fundamental basis on which he 's going to make a decision whether to do a movie or not , which was a very wise choice . And also he has certainly had opportunities to do movies that like -- it 's not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no , Spielberg , I 'm not going to be in your movie . " We 're in situations of our opportunities , and we 're subject to that . What pulls you back to acting at this point ? I really feel like I started liking my work the most when I arrived at a point of , I could kind of take it or leave it . Where directing became a central focus , and I just thought , well , I 'm going to act in things that I just really love . Why do you think it took you so long to get to that place ? Late bloomer . Really ? Actually , yeah , in some ways . I think also I 'm kind of in awe of actors who can generate the sense of life experience that they have n't had . That 's not a gift that I have . I think I am able , as an actor at best , to take the sort of fragments of experiences that I 've had that have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that kind of suit the needs of the character that I 'm playing . I was reflecting on the fact that you are maybe not thought of as a very personal actor , but that there is a lot of your life in roles you 've taken , whether Good Will Hunting , which has some of your dad in it , or Hollywoodland and Gone Girl , which are kind of about fame and reckoning with the spotlight , or more recently , The Way Back , in which you played an alcoholic . A lot of those later on became evident , maybe more evident . And I knew with The Way Back , like , " OK , look , people know I 'm an alcoholic or in recovery , I 'm going to have to have a conversation about this . " I did n't really mind that . I maybe underestimated the degree to which -- I did n't have any ambitions to be the national spokesman for recovering alcoholics . And not because I have any shame with it or anything . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more than five years , it 's just not something that is at the forefront of my mind . It 's not the central preoccupation of my life . But at the time , it was something that I was definitely wrestling with and thinking about . And also I was totally aware that my own lived experience meant that I was able to bring something to it that I thought would make it feel more real and connect with people more . Now , I had n't lost a child , thank God , which is what really was at the core of that story , and I ca n't imagine anything worse than that in life . So it is both . It is a combination . You bring some things to it and you have to imagine others . If I could have , I would 've kept the fact that I 'm sober anonymous , because I think it works better that way . And I did n't ask for that to become something people knew about . But I ca n't complain about it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ life , if something happened like that , people were going to know about it , and they did . And I have arrived at a place where I think of that experience as part of my life in authentically grateful ways , whereas I did n't think such a thing was possible before . So that sort of is what it is . A few days later , Affleck and I meet again , this time in his office at Artists Equity , where a cabinet holds two Oscars next to the distinctive popcorn shape of an MTV Movie Award . Some of the fire-related tabloid storm around him has subsided , and he seems more at ease . Or maybe it 's just the majestic cardigan from Brunello Cucinelli that he 's wearing . " Very elite , very fashion-forward , " he says , self-deprecatingly . How 's the last conversation sitting ? Well , on the one hand there 's the first feeling , which is like , well , I hope I was clear about , when you asked me about Jen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sort of personal life a little bit , which I do n't mind doing as long as my actual feelings and intentions and beliefs are communicated , which I hope I was clear that really this is somebody I have a lot of respect for . And I get wanting to divine or explore the kind of differences in perspective that we have in terms of how a person feels comfortable approaching the line between public and private life . But I really hope that whatever you use does n't suggest that I have any negativity or judgment or anything regarding that . I have nothing but respect . I guess there 's a tendency to look at breakups and want to identify root causes or something . But honestly , like I said , the truth is much more quotidian than probably people would believe or would be interesting . Quotidian in the sense that there 's not some major thing ? Yeah , there 's no scandal , no soap opera , no intrigue . The truth is , when you talk to somebody , " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no : " This is what happened . " It 's just a story about people trying to figure out their lives and relationships in ways that we all sort of normally do . And as you get older , this is true for me , I assume it 's true for most people , there is no " So-and-so did this " or " This was the big event . " It 's really , it sounds more like a couple 's therapy session , which -- you would tune out of someone else 's couple 's therapy after a while . For one thing , you start going , " OK , clearly this person has got these issues . Clearly they have these issues . " And the reason I do n't want to share that is just sort of embarrassing . It feels vulnerable . I was thinking about our last conversation , and I think one reason you are asked so frequently about tabloid stuff is that you speak really well about it -- like you 've clearly thought hard about that world and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 've been forced into analysing it to try to figure it out , to understand : what is it ? Because naturally you go , like , " OK , maybe I 'll just wear the same outfit every single day , so the pictures wo n't be distinguishable . " Or maybe : " I 'll just look like a slob , " and I 'm like , nope -- then you become the sad Affleck meme spilling the coffee . Which I have to say I think is kind of funny . So I think it 's just a function of the fact that I 've spent time thinking about really trying to figure it out . You 're 52 . When you do a movie like TheAccountant 2 now , are you like , " I only have so many more action movies left in me " ? Physically ? Yes , definitely . I used to be very gung ho about like , " Oh , I 'll do the fights , I 'll do the stunts . " And now I am very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to come in and do this ? " Part of it 's because I know they 're just better at it than I am , and you want somebody who looks good doing it . From a totally selfish perspective , you just get banged up and tired . It 's one of the things I was talking to Matt about -- he 's going off to do this Chris Nolan movie The Odyssey and doing a lot of stunt rehearsal , and it was kind of like , Boy , it 's been a while , has n't it ? Where you really have to go and learn the fights -- this is Bourne Identity kind of territory . But why I think The Accountant was interesting to me -- one , I really like fusing drama about characters that are interesting to me , with genres and storytelling tropes that are familiar to the audience and viewed as more commercial . And actually it turns out the audience has , there 's a bigger audience and they 're more patient around some of the dramatic-character stuff @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into more high-stakes visual stuff like that . And The Accountant is very much in keeping with that in the sense that it 's really kind of an interesting character story about this guy and his brother who are unusual characters . I think about my acting career as a kind of strange outlier . I think I 'm really lucky that I was able to do it for long enough to get to a place where I started to feel really good about it and it started to be really fun . I needed to do it a bunch first . And I look back on movies in a pretty objective way now from when I was younger . Like maybe Good Will Hunting , or Shakespeare in Love , or there 's a Boiler Room or Changing Lanes where I 'm like , " Oh , that was good . That guy , he did n't really know what the fuck he was doing but managed to do some stuff that was good . " There 's stuff that I 'm not proud of and I think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I doing ? So I 'm lucky personally that I was able to hang around . I think of my career as having two basic arcs in a way where it could have really gone away for me entirely . And directing sort of helped me resurrect that . And it also made me smarter and more careful and more thoughtful . You mentioned having to resurrect your career , which was around 2003 -- 2005 , when you had a bunch of acting roles that did n't work and had n't yet directed Gone Baby Gone . But it feels like 20 years on , the person in my seat is still trying to plot your location on some sort of Comeback Graph . It 's such a backhanded compliment . It 's like people who meet you and go , " You 're actually a pretty good-looking person , " or " You 're actually a pretty nice guy ! " I did definitely have to do a real and very serious comeback . I had to do a lot of work . It was really @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me was to become really successful young and to feel all of a sudden a lot of people liked me and I was funny and cool and everybody laughed at even the not-great jokes , and to then become unpopular and uncool and not somebody who , if you had a relationship with that person , it was any good for your career . In fact , maybe even the opposite . And to see what happened to relationships that I really believed were real relationships and friendships as well as just the scale of who I 'm talking to , who 's calling you , who is n't , or just to see your world change in that way . You mentioned directing being your path back , and at this point , I 'm surprised when you act in other people 's stuff . Like , if you direct , you can control every variable . Acting , not so much . No , you 're not in control as an actor . That 's an important lesson . This may have been a somewhat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you would tell about being on the Justice League set , in a hotel room in London , and you 're by yourself , miserable , drinking -- Quite a bit . Exactly . And it would be understandable if you were like , yeah , " I 'm never doing that again . " There are a number of reasons why that was a really excruciating experience . And they do n't all have to do with the simple dynamic of , say , being in a superhero movie or whatever . I am not interested in going down that particular genre again , not because of that bad experience , but just : I 've lost interest in what was of interest about it to me . But I certainly would n't want to replicate an experience like that . A lot of it was misalignment of agendas , understandings , expectations . And also by the way , I was n't bringing anything particularly wonderful to that equation at the time , either . I had my own failings , significant failings , in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an actor or a person ? I mean , my failings as an actor , you can watch the various movies and judge . But more of my failings of , in terms of why I had a bad experience , part of it is that what I was bringing to work every day was a lot of unhappiness . So I was n't bringing a lot of positive energy to the equation . I did n't cause problems , but I came in and I did my job and I went home . But you 've got to do a little bit better than that . Anyway , the point is , this work , this job is actually a way of trying to avoid that situation . I want to put together partnerships and filmmakers and cast and a studio apparatus that 's aligned , where precisely that kind of misalignment does n't happen and you have a much better work experience . Do you have a coherent thought or postmortem on your time with the Batman character ? I had a really good time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Batman v Superman . And I liked my brief stints on The Flash that I did and when I got to work with Viola Davis on Suicide Squad for a day or two . In terms of creatively , I really think that I like the idea and the ambition that I had for it , which was of the sort of older , broken , damaged Bruce Wayne . And it was something we really went for in the first movie . But what happened was it started to skew too old for a big part of the audience . Like even my own son at the time was too scared to watch the movie . And so when I saw that I was like , " Oh shit , we have a problem . " Then I think that 's when you had a filmmaker that wanted to continue down that road and a studio that wanted to recapture all the younger audience at cross purposes . Then you have two entities , two people really wanting to do something different and that is a really bad @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ few supporting parts , like in The Tender Bar and The Last Duel , but you 've since drifted back toward the centre of movies again . Do you have a theory about why you are effective as a leading man ? I 'm not self-aware enough really to know . But I have seen people write about or describe me , whether it 's typically in reviews , which I mostly generally read , reviews certainly of the major critics that I know or I 'm interested in . I was just reading something the other day , where what stands out is : " Affleck , of course , works successfully as , " I think it was , " a tarnished leading man . " Where I was like , " Oh , I see , this is my wheelhouse . " Sort of the Gone Girl archetype , ranging from that to " Yes , he 's our leading guy , he sort of seems that way , but we all know that underneath is a profoundly flawed person . " And I am drawn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's what makes them interesting . So maybe I play into that . I think also part of that has got to be , it 's been , I do n't know , almost 30 years that I 've been doing this in the sort of public or semi-public life . Imagine just the volume of stuff that -- and particularly certain years where it was just relentlessly negative and exaggerated , but nonetheless -- the impression of a " tarnished leading man " sort of makes sense to me . Because I know , for example , people will see Matt Damon one way and me another way . Just the classic comparison . I still meet people , and I 'm sure you do too , who still really think you and Matt are your respective characters from Good Will Hunting . Oh , dude , what I did n't realise when we made that movie was that everybody who saw that movie would more or less assume that we were those characters . I really thought , Oh , I 'll turn in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is , the better it will be for me , because the whole goal of that movie , really for Matt and I in terms of why we started , was to get work as actors . It was very easy to convince people since it was the first time they saw me that that was exactly who I was . The thing about that is , I 've read some interviews of mine from back then , and I kind of think , This is a person who 's trying to use the longest words that they know . I felt a little bit like my grandfather . I was trying to be like , " Look , I 'm not stupid . Look , I 'm smart . " Which is unfortunate because that energy of , " Look at me , look , I 'm this , look I 'm that , " always has the opposite effect . It 's like , why is this guy selling me this car so hard ? I have wondered about this -- after Good Will Hunting , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and not all of those big films are fully coherent from a script or conceptual perspective , did you ever feel trapped ? I 'm thinking of something like your now famous Armageddon DVD commentary track , where you basically say , " This movie makes no sense . " That is one of the achievements of my career for which I 'm willing to pat myself on the back . I believe that may be at least in the top five all-time DVD commentaries . By the way , nobody said anything to me . I do n't think any of the other people listened to it or gave a fuck until years later when it was played . And I was kind of shocked and appalled that I went on there and started being like ... I mean , that 's all true . Everything I said was a hundred per cent true , but that 's the point . You 're not supposed to go on there and tell all of the truth . I never expected , " Oh , this is going to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to go do a big Hollywood action movie and I love it . And yes , during the movie , I was kind of surprised to find that sometimes they were n't all that interested in making sense . I remember Billy Bob Thornton was having a long conversation about a scene in the space mission control or whatever it was , and he was like , " No , that 's OK , man . I can stop talking about it . I just kind of like to be in the kind of movies that make sense , you know what I mean ? But fuck it , we do n't have to do that . We 're not doing that on this one . Fuck it . " And I was the only person who was kind of like , " OK , I guess we do n't operate by those other rules here . " But there 's a sense of being small and of this thing being big . And so I felt like a little ant on the elephant when I would shoot my mouth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the director of Armageddon about why is it easier to train oil drillers to be astronauts than to train astronauts to drill a hole in the ground ? How long in Hollywood did you feel like the equivalent of that ant ? Good Will Hunting came out -- we were coming out the same month as another film , which I was told was a disaster and was going to be a terrible bomb , which was Titanic . Not a bomb ! But actually it was such a phenomenal success that I think it really helped our movie because I think people would go to see Titanic and it would be sold out and they 'd be like , " Fuck , what else is here ? I guess we 'll see the Boston kids in that movie with Robin Williams . " So I did n't quite have a sense of being famous in any way . But then , if there 's a kind of overnight experience , I had it , because the Oscars that year happened to be the highest rated in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ popular movie , was nominated . The vast majority of people that watched the Oscars that night , it was tens of millions , certainly had n't seen the movie , but our little kind of fairy-tale story was very appealing . And so I was shooting Dogma and we had flown back to LA to do the Oscars and flew back to Pittsburgh . And when I got back there , I remember there was a huge crowd outside our little crummy trailers , and I took pictures . Because I was like , This is amazing . I 'm going to remember this . I thought , Oh , this is a fleeting thing . I was 25 , and I thought , This is insane . And it always felt to me like one of those movies where one character goes in another character 's body . Like , oh , this is where you 're going to get to be in the body of Ringo Starr or something . Somebody else 's life . It was somebody else 's life . And it took @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that sense . So I do remember that shift , to answer your question . I remember feeling very small . And then I did n't feel big , but I felt thrust out in front . And I remember feeling not sure . Like : how does a person behave ? What does a person do ? How does a person handle this ? And sometimes I did stupid things and feel embarrassed of ridiculous , goofy things I said , because I really did n't know , like , am I here doing Jackass or something ? Am I just running through the background streaking across the Oscars naked and that 's my character ? You can feel uninvited or , it 's going to go away soon . And so , " Oh , you might as well turn around and mug at the camera because clearly they 're going to usher you off . " And it took a long time . There 's no playbook . When we were talking about Matt the other day , you made , I think it was mostly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " If Scorsese or Spielberg had called , I would 've taken those calls . " I would 've taken Saving Private Ryan . If Martin Scorsese called me and told me to play a waiter , I would take it . Steven Spielberg is one of the great filmmaking architects to ever live . I feel that way about Chris Nolan . I may go visit Matt on the set just to watch Nolan direct . I 'm not even kidding at all . Do you feel overlooked in some way by the great directors of your generation ? No . There are a couple different approaches to acting that I 've noticed other actors have . Some look at it as a zero-sum game . Like if this person 's in that part , they 're in my way . And if they were lopped off at the knees , then I could either move up one spot in the long line or I might actually have that part . I feel like you kind of make your own work . And I do n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Leo ? Should be me . " I really do n't ... If I was going to obsess over something , it would be more about how I really see myself as a director . I think that 's what , if you asked me , is there something that you would like to be recognised for ? If you pick one thing , I would say it was that . But I also do n't feel that I 've been denied or thwarted . I feel really lucky . This gets back to something I asked you before , which is , given that , why do n't you just direct ? Because it 's so consuming . The one regret I have about all the movies that I 've directed is the amount of time it 's taken me away from my kids . I love making art . I loved making The Town . But I was away from my kids for long periods of time . There 's little chunks that I missed , and that does n't feel good . And I think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , part of why I love it , is because I 'm in LA . When we 're done at 2.30 , I 'm going to go , and I 'll be home at 3.45 when my kids get off the bus . And I 'm able to construct a life that does that . And that means more to me than any of it . That makes me happier .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'get the most out of playing', which is a different construction where 'out of' is part of a phrasal verb 'get out of' meaning to obtain benefit from, not involving a causee or the specific interpretations (movement/extraction or prevention) associated with the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'dropped out of' which is a phrasal verb followed by a gerund phrase 'directing and starring in The Batman'. There is no NP object between the verb and 'out of', and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Ben Affleck has opened up about his ' excruciating ' behind-the-scenes struggle on the panned Batman films . Affleck , who debuted in 2016 's Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice , said he brought a ' lot of unhappiness ' onto set as he filmed in late 2014 - while his marriage to Jennifer Garner crumbled and he battled alcohol addiction . In a candid chat with British GQ , the star - who previously branded filming of the superhero movies ' the worst experience ' - said : ' There are a number of reasons why that was a really excruciating experience . And they do n't all have to do with the simple dynamic of , say , being in a superhero movie or whatever . ' A lot of it was misalignment of agendas , understandings , expectations . And also by the way , I was n't bringing anything particularly wonderful to that equation at the time , either . I had my own failings , significant failings , in that process and at that time . Affleck , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' I mean , my failings as an actor , you can watch the various movies and judge .

' He added the experience had put him off ever doing a superhero film ever again . He and Garner publicly announced their separation six months after filming wrapped , in June 2015 Affleck starred in 2016 's Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice , which earned $330,3 million domestic and $873.6 million worldwide , but was largely panned by critics . After a brief cameo in 2016 's Suicide Squad , Affleck returned in 2017 's Justice League , which underperformed at the box office ( $229 million domestic , $657.9 million worldwide ) .

' So I was n't bringing a lot of positive energy to the equation ' Addressing his relationship with Garner elsewhere in the chat , Affleck mused : ' I 'm really lucky that I have a really good co-parent and partner i who 's wonderful and great ' ( pictured in 2014 ) ' That became the moment where I said , " I 'm not doing this anymore , " he confessed to the Los Angeles Times while speaking about the movie -- which he called the ' nadir ' of his life .

' It just was the worst experience . It was awful , ' he continued to say . ' It was everything that I did n't like about this . That became the moment where I said , " I 'm not doing this anymore . " Despite his seemingly harsh words , Affleck said that he likely would have shared the same sentiments about ' any ' project he took on at that time in his life .

Ben and ex Jennifer Lopez detailed the highs and lows of their rekindled romance in J Lo 's documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told yet Affleck was ' uncomfortable ' being her muse In comparison , Affleck then praised his reprisal of Batman in the 2022 film The Flash , calling it his ' favorite ' interpretation of the character thus far , adding that the experience was ' really fun .

But when I went and did it , it was really fun and really , really satisfying and encouraging , and I thought , " Wow -- I think I have finally figured it out . " ' Elsewhere in the chat the Oscar winner shed some light on the breakdown of his marriage to Jennifer Lopez and his relationship with first wife Garner The actor , 52 , rekindled his romance with the singer , 55 , in 2021 , but the reunion was short-lived , with J Lo filing for divorce in August last year after their two-year marriage crumbled .

Addressing their relationship , Affleck mused : ' I 'm really lucky that I have a really good co-parent and partner in Jennifer Garner , the kids ' mom , who 's wonderful and great and we work together well .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It lacks a clear V1 verb acting on an NP object followed by 'out of' and a VP2[-ing] predicate. Additionally, the sentence does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, which are key semantic features of the construction.

Police patrolling Glasgow city centre on day one of the Covid lockdown ( Image : Jamie Simpson ) This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues . It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . Five years ago this week , the country formally locked down as restrictions on movement and gatherings due to the threat from the Covid pandemic took effect . None of us knew then how long this state of suspended animation would last or indeed how we would be impacted by it . The subsequent two and a half years delivered some of the most oppressive and difficult peacetime restrictions in our lifetimes and the effects for many will be profound and life-long . The opportunity to exploit any crisis was firmly grasped with both hands as examples of naked self-interest and greed saw the UK Government rewarding patronage with its egregious VIP procurement lanes that enriched @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nation following the revelations of the Downing Street parties led to the downfall of not just one Prime Minister , but undoubtedly set in motion the ingredients for the toppling of the next two . A bungling Boris Johnson whose grasp of detail and lack of gravitas defied the seriousness of both his office and events was routinely compared to Scotland 's First Minster Nicola Sturgeon whose near daily addresses to the nation saw her venerated by many , canonised by some , and despised by others . When the dust settled style mattered little as on every metric Scotland 's Covid stats were amongst the worst in Europe and despite the clownshoe in charge south of the wall , worse than in England too . There were moments of madness , of sadness and even of inadvertent levity as the state flexed its might against its people in ways few could have imagined then or would likely tolerate now . The trumpeting of cross-border travel restrictions played to a particularly ugly demographic but were quickly poo-pooed by Chief Constable who made clear no one would tell him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to make sure excess mourners were turfed out of being able to say their final goodbyes will forever be a low point , and the insane suggestion of cutting the bottom off classroom doors to aid air-flow is only topped in its madness by the attempts to defend it by those who presumably did n't know how doors worked in the first place . They live amongst us , you know ! Those with cars and in local authorities like Highland were able to access nearly 10,000 square miles of vastness to help them avoid going stir crazy . Those lucky enough to live in the ' burbs learned to embrace across-the-fence prosecco gatherings in the garden as sales of firepits and gazebos sky-rocketed , while those who were climbing the walls in their airless flats had the police on hand to make sure they did n't step out of line by daring to try to make their claustrophobic existences more bearable . A friend of mine suffered a serious knee injury whilst out walking alone and was chanced upon by two doctors who helped raise the alarm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ local authority area undetected . Another doctor was not so lucky and was fined for a short crossing to the nearest supermarket into Moray as driving infinitely more miles to the ones in the opposite direction was apparently the preferred option . They were quite simply the strangest of times . This weekend the former Cabinet Secretary for Health , Jeane Freeman -- who I incidentally thought was by far the single most effective communicator within the Scottish Government at the time , even head and shoulders above the First Minister ( which probably tells us why we were n't allowed to hear more from her ) admitted what we all know , that some mistakes were made and " that with the benefit of hindsight some of the decisions made were worthy of reconsideration " . Dr Watson 's inquiry of his constipated detective companion springs to mind . Nothing can of course undo the past and the desire to point fingers and apportion blame is particularly understandable amongst the loved ones of those who lost their lives in care homes . For me though , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were made -- not least as I doubt anyone seriously believed they would n't have been -- but by looking at some of the less obvious and arguably more pervasive changes that occurred during that time . The relationship between the police and the state is currently under the spotlight for other reasons related to the former First Minister but a serious blurring of the lines in respect of that relationship occurred during Covid . I know from conversations I had with him that the Chief Constable believed his participating in televised briefings alongside the FM was , on balance the right one . I however am not persuaded that the optics of Scotland 's most senior police officer repeatedly sharing a public platform with its most senior politician was in any way wise , as by accident or design it gives the impression of a politicised police service . That is at best unfortunate . Covid also saw the healthy tension that has to exist between the press and the government descend into overt displays of distain and contempt , and has helped embolden a much wider @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Nicola Sturgeon would agree but her approach to the press did little to assuage the fake news prophets of their conspiracies . The net effect is a society where more people are driven to extracting the news that agrees with them from online propagandists and their social media accounts , and our general discourse is altogether courser as a result . But by far the greatest damage was done by the lack of respect to the institution of government itself . The overt displays and public messaging were undoubtedly amongst the best anywhere , but behind the scenes doubt was discouraged , scrutiny was seen as betrayal and criticism treasonous . The adoption of a near-monarchical style of rule may well have pre-dated Covid but it was well and truly cemented over it . Its arrogance and self-righteousness suffocated the ability for consensus and has greatly diminished our politics as a result . Five years on that is the political legacy of Covid and I doubt it will ever be acknowledged .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'takes the stress out of finding and paying for parking' involves an NP ('the stress') as a complement of the complex preposition 'out of', and the following words ('finding and paying for parking') do not form a VP[-ing] predicate that induces a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It involves the phrase 'opt out of signing', which is a different construction where 'opt out of' is followed by a gerund, but there is no NP object between the verb and 'out of'. Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it involves the phrase 'opt out of signing', where 'signing' is part of a noun phrase rather than a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the sentence does not yield a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('the rules kept non-white Americans out of owning'). It has a prevention interpretation, where the rules prevented non-white Americans from owning in rich parts of the city. The verb 'kept' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure, and the NP object 'non-white Americans' functions as a causee. Therefore, it is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

To receive the best experience possible , please make sure any ad blockers are switched off , or add https : **25;1829;TOOLONG to your trusted sites , and refresh the page . Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson 's new book , Abundance , sets out a clearly articulated vision of the future and how it differs from the present . Photo : Andriy Onufriyenko/Getty Perhaps you 've heard the cliche that the economy is a pie we must grow rather than slice . It is hard to know where to begin with what this image gets wrong , because it gets almost nothing right . If you somehow grew a blueberry pie , you 'd get more blueberry pie . But economic growth is not an addition of sameness . The difference between an economy that grows and an economy that stagnates is change . When you grow an economy , you hasten a future that is different . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ future diverges from the past . We have settled on a metaphor for growth that erases its most important characteristic . Dig within the equations that power modern economics and you 'll find that growth comes from one of a few places . An economy can grow because it adds more people . It can grow because it adds more land or natural resources . But once those avenues are exhausted , it needs to do more with what it has . People need to think up new ideas . Factories need to innovate new processes . These new ideas and new processes must be encoded into new technologies . All this is grouped under the sterile label of productivity : How much more can we produce with the same number of people and resources ? When productivity surges , what we get is not more of what we had , but new things we never imagined . Imagine going to sleep in 1875 in New York City and waking up 30 years later . As you shut your eyes , there is no electric lighting , Coca-Cola @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or " sneakers . " The tallest building in Manhattan is a church . When you wake up in 1905 , the city has been remade with towering steel-skeleton buildings called " skyscrapers . " The streets are filled with novelty : automobiles powered by new internal combustion engines , people riding bicycles in rubber-soled shoes -- all recent innovations . The Sears catalogue , the cardboard box , and aspirin are new arrivals . People have enjoyed their first sip of Coca-Cola and their first bite of what we now call an American hamburger . The Wright brothers have flown the first aeroplane . When you passed into slumber , nobody had taken a picture with a Kodak camera or used a machine that made motion pictures , or bought a device to play recorded music . By 1905 , we have the first commercial versions of all three -- the simple box camera , the cinematograph , and the phonograph . Now imagine dozing off for another 30-year nap between 1990 and 2020 . You would wonder at the dazzling ingenuity that we funnelled into our smartphones @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the same . This is reflected in the productivity statistics , which record a slowing of change as the 20th century wore on . This is not just a problem for our economy . It is a crisis for our politics . The nostalgia that permeates so much of today 's right and no small part of today 's left is no accident . We have lost the faith in the future that once powered our optimism . We fight instead over what we have , or what we had . An aerial view of Los Angeles . Photo : Rob Powell/Getty Much that we need for the world we want we already know how to build . But much that we need for the world we want still needs to be invented and improved . Green hydrogen and cement . Nuclear fusion . Treatments for the terminal cancers that overwhelm today 's therapies and the shadowy autoimmune diseases that baffle today 's doctors . AI that moulds itself to the needs of children who learn and think differently . Markets will , we hope , proffer some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . The market can not , on its own , distinguish between the riches that flow from burning coal and the wealth that is created by bettering battery storage . Government can . The market will not , on its own , fund the risky technologies whose payoff is social rather than economic . Government must . But let us not be naive . It is childish to declare government the problem . It is just as childish to declare government the solution . Government can be either the problem or the solution , and it is often both . By some counts , nuclear power is safer than wind and cleaner than solar . It is inarguably safer than burning coal and petrol . And yet the US , facing a crisis of global warming , has almost stopped building nuclear power reactors and plants entirely . Between 1973 and 2024 , the country started and finished only three new nuclear reactors . And it has shut down more nuclear plants than it 's opened in most of our lifetimes . That is not a failure of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government to properly weigh risk . To take technology seriously as a force for change is to take it seriously as infused with values and , yes , politics . The relationship is bidirectional . It is not just that the politics we have will affect the technologies we develop . The technologies we develop will shape the politics we come to have . A world where renewable energy is plentiful and cheap permits a politics that is different from a world where it is scarce and pricey . A world where modular construction has brought down the cost of building opens different possibilities for state and local budgets . In 1985 , the great technology critic Neil Postman wrote , " to be unaware that a technology comes equipped with a programme for social change , to maintain that technology is neutral , to make the assumption that technology is always a friend to culture is , at this late hour , stupidity plain and simple . " The corollary is also true : to have no program to harness technology in service of social change is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ old finding in political science that Americans are " symbolically " conservative but " operationally " liberal . Americans talk like conservatives but want to be governed like liberals . The Tea Party-era sign saying " Keep your government hands off my Medicare " is perhaps the most famous example of this divided soul . Americans like both the rhetoric and reality of low taxes , but they also like the programmes that taxes fund . They thrill to politicians who talk of personal responsibility but want a safety net tightened if they , or those they know and love , fall . This dynamic is so well known , so easy to see , that we miss how often it gets reality backwards . In many blue states , voters exhibit the same split political personality , but in reverse : they are symbolically liberal but operationally conservative . In much of San Francisco , you ca n't walk 20 feet without seeing a multicoloured sign declaring that Black Lives Matter , Kindness Is Everything , and No Human Being Is Illegal . Those signs sit in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against efforts to add the new homes that would bring those values closer to reality . San Francisco 's Black population has fallen in every census count since 1970 . Poorer families -- disproportionately non-white and immigrant -- are pushed into long commutes , overcrowded housing , and street homelessness . Texas has been the single largest beneficiary of California 's housing crisis . And that is , in part , because Texas is California 's mirror image on housing . The Austin metro area led the nation in housing permits in 2022 , permitting 18 new homes for every 1,000 residents . Los Angeles 's and San Francisco 's metro areas permitted only 2.5 units per 1,000 residents . In our political typologies , it is liberals who embrace change and conservatives who cling to stasis . But that is not how things work when you compare red-state and blue-state housing policies . To be fair to California , change is messy and uncomfortable everywhere . Any growing community that likes itself roughly the way it is faces a problem . If more people want to live @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them to live . Worse , they might build dense places for them to live . A plot of land that houses a large single-family house could become a plot of land housing a small building with six units . You can make more money , typically , selling homes to six families than to one family , so it 's relatively easy for the developer to offer the family living there now a good price for their home , raze the building , stack six units atop each other , and make a profit . This can be done in many places at once , fairly quickly , and the community will soon wake to find that it is unrecognisable to itself . But how do you stop people from selling homes they own and developers from building on land they own and people from moving to a city they would like to be part of ? Who invented this whole business of cutting US cities into " zones " and creating rules about what can and ca n't be built there ? The answer takes us back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no American city had zoning rules , the economist William Fischel writes in his aptly titled book Zoning Rules ! In the early 1900s , Los Angeles adopted a small package of regulations that divided the city between zones for industrial buildings and residential construction . New York City followed , and soon enough , so did almost everywhere else . " Eight cities had zoning by the end of 1916 , " Fischel writes . " By 1926 , 68 more cities had adopted it , and between 1926 and 1936 , zoning was adopted by 1,246 additional municipalities . " The concept of zoning , unheard of in 1900 , covered 70% of the US population by 1933 . Fischel 's explanation begins with trucks and buses , which forever changed the spatial geometry of the city . Before big , petrol-powered vehicles took over the streets , it was easy to keep the different functions of the city separate . If you did n't want to live near a manufacturing plant or the masses of workers who worked in it , you could always live ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that . " The truck liberated heavy industry from close proximity to downtown railroad stations and docks , " Fischel writes . Factories could now be located anywhere . Buses liberated urban workers , too . They did n't have to live within walking distance of their jobs or on a streetcar line . They could reside anywhere , and working-class apartments could be built anywhere . Homeowners could no longer rely on geography to protect them from the people and producers they wanted to avoid . If distance could n't keep them safe , rules would have to do so instead . The first zoning rules did little to prevent housing construction at scale . Instead they dictated what kind of buildings could go where .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject (Craig) + V1 (tries to talk) + NP object (his friend) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (humiliating himself). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where Craig is attempting to prevent his friend from humiliating himself. The verb 'talk' is classified under means of verbal persuasion, and the NP object 'his friend' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

The sentence 'Linda was then seen alongside Nigel and Grant during the 40th anniversary episode, as she attempted to talk Phil out of taking his own life.' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject (Linda) + V1 (talk) + NP object (Phil) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (taking his own life). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where Linda is attempting to prevent Phil from taking his own life by means of talking. The NP object (Phil) functions as a causee, and the construction is used in an active voice with an animate NP subject (Linda).

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('A serial woman-beater tried to intimidate his latest victim out of giving evidence against him'). It involves a prevention interpretation ('intimidate...out of giving evidence'), where the subject is an animate agent causing the object to not perform the action in the VP2[-ing] predicate. The verb 'intimidate' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure, and the NP object 'his latest victim' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

A serial woman-beater tried to intimidate his latest victim out of giving evidence against him . Terrence Tennant , from Pontardawe in the Swansea Valley , had turned up drunk at his ex-partner 's home last December , pushed his fingers into her eyes , pulled her hair and kicked her while she was on the floor . The 61-year-old was charged with an actual bodily harm ( ABH ) assault but while remanded in prison he smuggled out a threatening letter which was brought to the victim 's door by an associate . In the letter he claimed he still loved her and feared he would be " looking at five years " if convicted at the upcoming trial . He added that if she lied about him " it could backfire on you " . Prosecutor Regan Walters told Swansea Crown Court that Tennant was later convicted of ABH against the woman -- with whom he had been in a relationship for eight years -- and jailed for 26 weeks . Shortly after his release @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ witness intimidation . He initially denied writing the letter but later pleaded guilty to the intimidation . Tennant , of Pontardawe High Street , had a staggering 155 previous offences on his record . We previously reported how in 2017 he was handed a jail term of five years and eight months for violent abuse against four partners , including one he repeatedly punched , stamped on and throttled . Weeks after his release in 2022 he breached a court order by turning up at the home of one of his victims , resulting in another jail term . At the time Tennant claimed to be a " changed man " after freeing himself of steroid addiction . His latest victim said in a statement : " I feel that I will never be free of Terry . Even serving a custodial sentence I feel he is able to continue the abuse . When I received the letter from Terry I was in total shock . He was attempting to control and manipulate the situation . I will continue to live my life looking over my shoulder . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my independence , and my identity . I feel broken and I do n't know who I am anymore .

He invested ? 35,000 into scaffolding materials and a further ? 5,000 into a vehicle to transport those materials . That was a business operating successfully until he was remanded in custody . " The barrister added that his client 's time in custody was having an impact on the company 's two employees as the business could not operate because only Tennant had " the qualifications to effectively put up and take down the scaffolding " .

Wanderers have their fingers crossed that George Johnston will be available for the game at Blackpool ( Image : CameraSport - Lee Parker ) This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues . It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . STEVEN Schumacher has confidence that Wanderers can remain defensively sound as they push for a play-off spot in the final nine games of the season . Clean sheets have been relatively thin on the ground for the Whites in the league , with only Peterborough United , Cambridge United , Barnsley and Shrewsbury Town keeping fewer to date . Of those , only the 0-0 draw at Wrexham on March 1 was earned under Schumacher 's watch , with the Whites also conceding first in eight of their 10 outings under the new head coach . Bolton 's resilience has not been in doubt , and they have fought back to win @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ division . But having already shipped more goals than they did in the entire of last season some concerns have been aired on the sturdiness of Wanderers ' defences , particularly under the extra pressure of upcoming games against local rivals Blackpool and Wigan Athletic . Wanderers swapped Nathan Baxter for Luke Southwood in goal for their previous game against Stockport , based on a " gut-feeling " and data which had been reviewed by the Bolton boss on the goals which had been leaked recently . Asked if there was anything particular which concerned him on the defensive front , Schumacher said he had no major concerns . " It 's not easy keeping clean sheets but I do n't think we have been laid wide open or that our goal has been peppered , " he told The Bolton News . " As I 'd said with the change of goalkeeper and Luke Southwood , it is n't as if he had loads to do in the game . I think defensively we have looked pretty sound . That unit has been pretty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chris Forino has come back into the squad and looked good . " No team wants to concede any goals , so we will pick the bones out of everything and try to get it right . " Schumacher will be looking to improve on some of the " detail " around the defeat against Stockport when his side resume their play-off chase at Bloomfield Road this Saturday . The club hope to have George Johnston fit again after a minor hamstring issue but will almost certainly have to do without Eoin Toal , who returned from international duty with Northern Ireland but has not yet had the details of his injury been made public . Bringing the left-sided Johnston back into the fold will give Wanderers some tactical flexibility , says Schumacher , along with one of their fiercest competitors . " Having that little bit of balance on the left side of the three is important , " he said . " If we play with the three then I do think you need the left-footer there . " Alex Murphy has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ George Thomason did really well there ( against Stockport ) too .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It describes a dormer being 'out of keeping with' the local buildings, which is a different construction involving the phrase 'out of keeping with' rather than the transitive out of -ing construction.

This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues . It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . A HOMEOWNER could be ordered to tear down a flat extension after it was constructed bigger than agreed . The extension , which was granted planning permission , has been built onto a flat above a shop on London Road , Westcliff .

Planning officers visited the site and established this was the case . The householder was told to submit a retrospective planning application but failed to do so .

" My message is clear : the planning system is there for a reason @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is unacceptable and action will be taken , which will normally include having to remove the offending structure . " If the committee approves enforcement action when it meets on Wednesday , the homeowner will have six months to remove the front and rear extensions entirely or reconstruct them in accordance with approved plans .

These are the most sickening handmade ball looks to ever grace the RuPaul 's Drag Race stage . ( World of Wonder ) The RuPaul 's Drag Race ball has swiftly become one of the most beloved challenges in the show 's history . It offers the competitors a chance to put all of their skills on the table : their fashion sense , creativity , resourcefulness and taste , but also their charisma , uniqueness , nerve and talent . And for Drag Race fans , it 's also become one of the leading challenges in determining which queens will go far in the competition . The best bit of every ball challenge , though , is seeing what the queens can scrape together with a few bits of fabric and some unconventional materials . Is it possible to make a couture gown out of swimming pools , sleeping bags and tent poles ? Apparently so . We 've taken a look back at the 20 best ball @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the looks the queens made themselves . With this look , Widow Von'Du managed to create a sort-of gown that Alexander McQueen would have thought up had he been looking for inspiration at the local Pets at Home . It had flaws , sure -- the undergarments and shoes -- and Gigi Goode and Jaida Essence Hall still performed best in the season 13 ball overall . But Von'Du deserves some respect for crafting a look unlike any that had come before . We 're considering this a ball , as the queens were grouped together for their looks . On the " Stitch and Strut " episode of Drag Race UK season six , Marmalade , Lill and Chanel O'Connor were teamed up to create a cohesive , rags-to-riches fashion collection . While world record holder Marmalade was the standout , with her cerulean , Bob Mackie-esque drapework and Met Gala-ready headpiece , Lill and Chanel were also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them here . Thanks to the bizarre All Stars 5 rules , Alexis Mateo actually ended up being eliminated during the season 's ball challenge . Alexis Mateo used a paddling pool for her All Stars 5 look . ( World of Wonder ) And yes , her constructed look -- made from fabric , plastic party cups and a child 's paddling pool ( ! ) -- was n't flawless , but it was a display of audacious craftsmanship that deserves some recognition . Shea Coule ? is one of just a few queens in Drag Race history who has had the pleasure of taking on not one , not two , but threeball challenges . You could say then , that Coule ? knows how to handle her balls . ( Hard ) hats off to Shea Coulee ' for winning the season nine ball challenge . ( YouTube/RuPaul'sDragRace ) However , out of the three , she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Gayest Ball Ever " . Arguably , it was her design look in the " Village People Eleganza Extravaganza " category that clinched the win because , frankly , she reminded us of Bob the Builder . With a train made out of denim and plaid , a tilted construction helmet and knee-high Timberland-style boots , Coule ? built herself quite a reputation . Look , it 's common knowledge that Drag Race Thailand judge Pangina Heals was robbed during her entire time on Drag Race UK vs The World season one , but we 'd like to make a specific case that she was mugged during the ball challenge especially . First , her " Kitty Girl " couture was arguably the best look of the entire season , while her constructed " You Wear It Well " garment was fashion week runway ready . From her tasselled head piece down to her glittery pumped toes , Pangina fully understood the assignment . We 're not too sure what the need was for the bits of material poking out from her arms , but the gem-encrusted torso piece alone was enough to make this a massive toot . Sasha , we salute you . Sometimes , things are very , very wrong . The All Stars 6 " Blue Ball " was one of those instances . While Ra'Jah O'Hara was a worthy winner and Kylie Sonique Love deserved the praise she got , it was sad to see Scarlet Envy -- currently serving international excellence on Drag Race UK vs The World season two -- snubbed . Her glittering , navy fishtail gown in the " Blue Ball Bonanza " category was simply one of the most expertly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it appear effortless . Perhaps a controversial choice , considering it was Kim Chi 's floral frock that snatched the win in season eight . But what queen can say that her looks have inspired Mama Ru herself , other tthan Naomi Smalls . Naomi Smalls left a paper trail in season eight . ( YouTube/RuPaul 's Drag Race ) In her original season , she impressed the judges with her crumpled paper couture , so much so that for the season nine promotional image , RuPaul appeared to wear a fabric replica of it . Arrietty 's time on season 17 might have taken a turn for the tumultuous at the end of her run , thanks to her ill-fated mirror message to Onya Nurve , but as much as the fans can dislike what she wrote , they ca n't erase her talent . Across all three design challenges this season , Arrietty delivered high-class , innovative looks . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ puffy sleeves attached to the hem , keyhole cutout and structured , alien-princess style hair , was one of the season 's best looks , full stop . Her ball look though ? She deserved that win and then some . Gottmik won the ball challenge in season 13 , though a large portion of the Drag Race fandom felt it unjust . Yet , coming back for All Stars 9 , the trans icon made them all eat their words . Her " Paint Ball Eleganza " look on the season was a high fashion punk rock feast for the eyes , proving instantly why she 's considered one of the franchise 's best-ever fashion divas . Not to mention , it appeared impeccably well-made considering it was constructed from tent poles and camping quilts. There are few looks across the Drag Race universe that have displayed such a strong understanding of fashion sense quite as much as Violet Chachki 's " Hello Kitty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was a fairly simple bodysuit look , but the way Violet embellished it and stamped it with her signature style -- from the fluffy face cage , down to the simple tight and pump combo -- was perfection . It was somehow a mix of Sixties space age and contemporary couture , but Chachki knew exactly what she set out to deliver . Jaida Essence Hall gets a little bump here for having had not one , but two flawless design looks in her ball challenges , in season 12 and All Stars 7 . First , her bubble-bath look , made out of plastic and polystyrene balls , was genius , and the added glittering turban brought storyline . She was n't a woman having a bath , she was a luxurious lady of the manor having a soak in her solid gold bathtub. With her " Candy Couture " look on season five @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ startlingly strong case for turning Willy Wonka 's chocolate factory into a gay club . Making a fringe rainbow dress out of candy laces ? Give her the golden ticket right now . She 's eating , and we 're eating too . ( Logo TV ) In all seriousness though , Roxxxy proved she is incredibly fashion smart with this look , not that she needed to . She knew how the laces would sway around her as she stomped the runway . Throw in a voluminous pageant wig and some jewellery made of sweets , and she was ready for the win ( until Alaska bagged it ) . Few queens have changed the Drag Race game like Raja did during her original run on season three . While the season one and two queens had a fair share of solid looks , Raja turned the runway into a critical part of the judges ' criteria for success , and an essential part of the show 's enjoyment for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fashion shine through than on season three 's two ball challenges , where she created a garment out of hair and , most impressively , a gown out of dollar bills . But her best came more than a decade later , on All Stars 7 , with her Myanmar Golden Pagoda get-up . With gorgeous , golden accentuated sleeves , a shimmering skirt and finite details to match -- the opera glasses were a particular gag -- she looked something between a member of the royal family and a Hunger Games escort . Simply stellar. There are design runways that look incredible , but it 's obvious that they 've been made against a time limit with scraps of fabric . Then there are those that , despite being made in the werkroom , look like they were created by experts over several weeks . Trinity The Tuck 's Red Square of Moscow look for All Stars 7 is one of the latter . In the latex , devil-red fishtail gown , she managed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all in one , while her staggering red wig was definitely 40 inches . Season 15 star Anetra might best be known for walking that f**king duck , but let 's give her some respect for her design look in the ball challenge , which frankly looked Met Gala-ready . God is a woman -- Anetra proved it with this look . ( World of Wonder ) . The champagne-coloured gown was gorgeous enough as it was , but the addition of glass-like shards along the arms and plunging neckline elevated it to expert level . She looked regal and rich , and she knew it . Plastique Tiara treats design challenges the way Grindr gays treat a post-burrito hook-up : there 's no way she 's bottoming . After making a garment out of foliage on season 11 and winning the challenge , her All Stars 9 design looks were always going to be mind-blowing . Her " Paint Ball Eleganza " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ body and a trailing , hand-painted train -- was a work of art . It left Michelle Visage literally picking her jaw up off the floor , and would give most fashion designers a run for their money . The most recent winner of the Drag Race ball challenge , and instantly one of the best , Nymphia Wind constructed a three-dimensional look using office ties , and managed to make it look as though it had been stripped straight from the pages of Vogue . It was fun and fresh , but also sleek and perfectly executed . She rightfully won the challenge , with Michelle Visage describing it as " otherworldly " and RuPaul declaring it " frig*ing brilliant " . This look would be justification enough for Nymphia to win the season 16 crown . Three years on from Utica 's sleeping-bag look appearing on our TV screens , it still renders the Drag Race fandom gagged every @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the task of making an outfit out of bags , Utica was n't satisfied with settling for simplicity . Of all the available materials , she selected a sleeping bag and whipped it into a theatrical , Moncler-style gown , complete with a hood and billowing train . When she stepped out on the runway , it had the professional finish of a dress curated by a team over several months , but it took her just six hours to make on her own . Shockingly , Utica did n't win the ball challenge for this look alone , and had to settle with being the week 's runner up . It remains one of the main Drag Race judging decisions that still riles the fandom to this day . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('I ca n't be incentivised out of having the conditions that I suffer from'). It implies a prevention interpretation, where the subject is being prevented from having the conditions they suffer from by means of incentivisation. The verb 'incentivised' fits into the category of verbs that appear in the V1 slot by means of enticing or verbal persuasion. The NP object 'me' (implied in 'I') functions as a causee, and the sentence can be paraphrased to show a prevention interpretation, similar to the examples given.

When Kendall was pressed for details , as millions of us felt panic set in , she told us to wait for the Spring Statement , which was delivered by Rachel Reeves on Wednesday . Despite the Chancellor confirming even morecuts to social security , there is still no certainty on how my own benefits will be affected . The DWP are yet to contact me , but on average PIP claimants are expected to lose an average of ? 4,500 a year , with hundreds of thousands pushed into poverty . But these are n't just statistics , or numbers on a page . This is about real people . Real people like me and my family . I 'm scared that my daughter and I will be plunged into poverty ( Picture : Dayna Latham ) The waiting is painful and has flared up every medical condition I have , both mental and physical .

During the assessment period , my stress levels are consistently high -- sometimes lasting for a whole month or two . I 'm usually unable to work until I have recovered .

PIP is n't an unemployment benefit ( Picture : Dayna Latham ) And the stress of falling behind on debt payments , falling behind on bills , and not knowing how we 'll make ends meet will flare up my medical conditions and leave me with even less capability for work than I currently have . My partner will also have to perform more care duties , leaving him able to work less hours and therefore worsening our financial situation even more .

Instead of targeting disabled people , the Government should work to improve the amount and quality of accessible jobs . If they really wanted us to work more , they would make it easier .

One buyer is thrilled , saying , ' I can confidently say it is the best sprinkler I have ever owned . The performance of this sprinkler is impeccable . Regardless of the water pressure , it delivers a consistent and even spray , ensuring that every corner of my garden receives the perfect amount of water . Its ability to adapt to different water pressures is truly remarkable , setting it apart from other sprinklers I 've tried in the past ' .

Saves me blasting water where I do n't want it . Also comes with a built-in filter . Top notch product , way better than the basic ones . " Easily control the distance and amount of water ( Image : Gardena / Amazon ) The manufacturer of the GARDENA Aqua S oscillating sprinkler states it is easy to clean off dirt and limescale off the product and the water connection contains a rust-resistant metal filter to prevent dirt particles from entering the rectangular sprinkler , which can be removed to clean easily under a tap .

Indeed , the maximum spray range is at least 30% better than our old sprinkler " . Of the more negative comments , one buyer says , " Very poor instructions , I 'm struggling to know how to adjust it for maximum watering coverage ! " and another commenting , " My only gripe with this unit is that it 's too light-weight and so it has a tendency to move on the ground unless it 's placed securely " . |

Ifa is a 4-Star Anemo character who is likely being added to Genshin Impact during version 5.6 . While Ifa should be featured as a boosted 4-Star character on a 5-Star character 's Banner in version 5.6 , he will eventually be added to the standard Banner in Genshin Impact after 5.6 , and also occasionally feature on future Banners as one of the boosted 4-Stars again . If you want to prepare for him , we 've listed reliable leaks of Ifa 's Ascension materials and Talent materials so you can level him up to his full potential right away . To understand how you might play him , we 've also detailed what we know about Ifa 's kit and Constellations .

Image credit : HoYoverse Passive one : Field Medic 's Vision - When Ifa is in his Nightsoul 's Blessing state , every one Nightsoul point out of the total in the entire party will grant him one Rescue Essentials point . Rescue Essentials will increase the Swirl and Electro-Charged Damage dealt by all nearby party members . Passive three : Night Realm 's Gift : Focused Emergency Rescue - After his Nightsoul points are exhausted , Ifa will switch to consuming Phlogiston to maintain his Nightsoul 's Blessing . While in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan , he can use Nightsoul Transmission : Ifa . When the active character is a certain height in the air , Ifa will enter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Nightsoul Transmission can be triggered once every 10 seconds by your own team .

This effect can trigger once every 10 seconds , and does not take effect in Domains , Trounce Domains , or the Spiral Abyss . Ifa performs up to three attacks that deal Anemo Damage , if tapping the normal attack button . Holding it down instead makes Ifa consume a certain amount of Stamina to fire off a shot , dealing AOE Anemo Damage . As with most bow plunging attacks , Ifa plunges towards the ground from mid-air , damaging all opponents along the path , dealing AOE Anemo Damage upon impact with the ground . Ifa calls @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , entering his Nightsoul 's Blessing state . In his Nightsoul 's Blessing state , Ifa will hover with Cacucu 's help , and when Ifa uses normal attacks , he will use different kinds of Supporting Fire depending on whether you tap or hold the Skill button . Additionally , holding the Elemental Skill button while Ifa is in his Nightsoul 's Blessing will cause Ifa to use a Nightsoul-aligned plunging attack . Letting go of the skill button will interrupt this plunging attack to maintain his hover . If Ifa lands due to this plunging attack , his Nightsoul 's Blessing state will end . Image credit : HoYoverse Ifa fires a therapeutic sedative at a ( temporarily aggressive ) opponent . The sedative will explode on impact , creating a restraining wind current that pulls nearby objects and opponents while dealing Nightsoul-aligned AOE Anemo Damage .

You need to get a lot of Suppressing Edict and Thief 's Instinct-based materials for Dr Ratio to fully upgrade his capabilities . In total , the Dr Ratio Ascension Materials in Honkai : Star Rail @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's Scheme x15 Conqueror 's Will x65 Suppressing Edict 308,000 Credits For more details , here 's what Dr Ratio Ascension materials you need per level : Just like Ascension , to get the most out of using Dr Ratio you will have to level-up his attacks and passive abilities by using Trace materials , which vary from character-to-character . For Dr Ratio , you need to use a lot of Thief 's Instinct and Arrow-based materials to fully upgrade his capabilities . In total , to upgrade all of his abilities , the Dr Ratio Trace Materials you need are : By getting duplicates of Dr Ratio from Warping on his Banner , you will receive his Eidolon . This material allows you to unlock Eidolon levels , with each upgrade either improving an existing attack or passive ability . Image credit : HoYoverse Here are all of Dr Ratio 's Eidolons in Honkai : Star Rail : Pride Comes Before a Fall ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' Summation ' increases by four . When a battle begins , Dr Ratio immediately obtains four stacks of Summation . The Divine is in the Details ( E2 ) : When his Talent 's follow-up attack hits a target , for every debuff the target has , additionally deals additional Imaginary damage equal to 20% of Dr Ratio 's attack . This effect can be triggered for a maximum of four times during each follow-up attack . Know Thyself ( E3 ) : Increases the level of Dr Ratio 's Ultimate by two with a maximum upgrade level of 15 , and increases the level of his Basic Attack by one , with a maximum upgrade level of 10 . Your goal is to use Dr Ratio 's Ultimate on an enemy to implant the Wiseman 's Folly effect , then attack that target with your team for the chance to trigger Dr Ratio 's follow-up attacks . If the target with Wiseman 's Folly has at least three debuffs on them , then you have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attack . Ideally though , you want six debuffs on an enemy so Dr Ratio can benefit from the maximum Crit Rate and Crit Damage he gains from his first bonus trace ability , Summation . Due to the way Dr Ratio 's kit is designed , he is best used in single-target encounters , like against tough bosses in the simulated universe or Memory of Chaos . He can absolutely still work in multi-target battles , but Dr Ratio just wo n't be doing as much damage as he could be . Image credit : HoYoverse Dr Ratio has a lot of natural synergy with Nihlity debuffers , as the more debuffs an enemy has , the higher his personal attack damage is . This makes Welt a fantastic partner for Dr Ratio if you 're running the 4-piece Wastelander of Banditry Desert on both of them . Silver Wolf is another great pick , as she has a focus on debuffing single-targets , but Pela can also work . Topaz works very well with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ DOT ( damage over time ) effects also count as debuffs , so you can even run DOT Nihility characters like Kafka with Dr Ratio if you need their unique attacks or weakness breaking abilities . However , the best attacker to run alongside Dr Ratio is Topaz , as she excels in boosting follow-up attack damage for the entire team , and Dr Ratio 's abilities combine with Numby to create some amazing follow-up damage potential . Any Harmony character can work with Dr Ratio in some capacity , but we actually recommend using Tingyun for Dr Ratio to take advantage of her attack and Energy boosts . If you find yourself with spare Skill Points , however , then Bronya can work even better . On the flip side , if you 're in desperate need of Skill Points , then Hanya or the upcoming Sparkle can save the day . As a bonus , Yukong can work very well in mono Imaginary teams . Any Abundance or Preservation character with bonus debuffing abilities like Gepard or March 7th can help in a Dr Ratio @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ somebody along who can keep your team alive easily . Luocha , Huohuo , and Fu Xuan are best at this . Inert Salsotto . Image credit : HoYoverse According to leaks on Project Yatta , two new Relic sets are coming to version 2.0 in Honkai Star Rail , and one of them ( Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters ) looks like it will be Dr Ratio 's best Relic set . For now , we 've detailed his current best Relics in version 1.6 below . If you have a good set , we think 4-Piece Wastelander of Banditry Desert is currently Dr Ratio 's best Relic set for its boost to Imaginary damage and Crit Rate . As with most attackers the 4-piece Genius of Brilliant Stars can substitute if you have good substats on it , as its lowering of an enemies defence is incredibly useful ( especially if the enemy is weak to Quantum ) . If you do n't have good main stats on these two sets and are just waiting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we recommend combining the 2-piece Musketeer of Wild Wheat and 2-piece Wastelander of Banditry Desert for their increase in attack and Imaginary damage , respectively . The 2-piece Messenger Traversing Hackerspace can substitute one of these if you need more speed ( or it has great substats ) . As for farming the Simulated Universe , Inert Salsotto is generally Dr Ratio 's best Planar Ornament set , as it increases Dr Ratio 's Crit Rate and Ultimate and follow-up attack damage . The Celestial Differentiator , Firmament Frontline : Glamoth , and Space Sealing Station sets can also work if you happen to have better substats on them . As always , if you 're really struggling for Energy , Sprightly Vonwacq can work , as can Penacony , Land of the Dreams if you 're running a mono Imaginary team . Dr Ratio 's best Light Cone is undoubtedly his 5-Star signature , Baptism of Pure Thought . At Level 90 Superimposition 1 it increases his Crit Damage by 20% , and for every debuff @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dealt against this target increases by 8% , stacking up to three times . When using his Ultimate to attack the enemy target , Dr Ratio receives the Disputation effect , which increases damage dealt by 36% and enables his follow-up attacks to ignore 24% of the target 's defence . This effect lasts for two turns . Image credit : HoYoverse If she 's not using it , then Topaz 's signature 5-Star Worrisome , Blissful is Dr Ratio 's next best 5-Star option for its increase to Crit Rate , Crit Damage , and follow-up damage . Yanqing 's signature 5-Star Sleep Like the Dead and Seele 's 5-Star signature In the Night can also work as Crit stat sticks . If you do n't want to Warp for signatures , then the 5-Star Cruising in the Stellar Sea is your next best option for its Crit Rate and attack boosts . It 's available to purchase with Herta Bonds in Herta 's Shop . As for 4-Star options , we recommend either Only Silence Remains or Swordplay . Only Silence Remains is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the field , but Swordplay is more suited to single-target encounters , as it 's all about building attack stacks by hitting the same enemy repeatedly . Keeping in mind that the best team comps in Star Rail are very situational , if you want to take advantage of his attack and debuffing potential while keeping him alive , we have compiled what we think is currently the best Dr Ratio build in Honkai Star Rail : Dr Ratio Best Light Cone : 5-Star Baptism of Pure Thought . Dr Ratio Best Relics : 4-Piece Wastelander of Banditry Desert . Dr Ratio Best Planar Ornaments : Inert Salsotto . Dr Ratio Best team comp : Topaz , Tingyun , Luocha . Remember that the new Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters will most likely be Dr Ratio 's best Relic set when it releases in version 2.0 , and that Silver Wolf can replace Topaz and Huohuo can replace Luocha if you 're in need of more single-target debuffing abilities .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks a V1 verb that causes the NP object (himself) to move out of or be prevented from the VP2[-ing] predicate (running for England's next white-ball captain). Instead, it appears to be a statement about Joe Root's decision, not a construction involving causation or prevention.

Joe Root seems to have no interest in being England captain again ( Steven Paston/PA ) This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues . It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . Joe Root has ruled himself out of the running to be England 's next white-ball captain , insisting " that ship has sailed " . The Yorkshireman led England 's Test side from 2017 to 2022 and has been linked with the vacant one-day international post after Jos Buttler 's resignation as limited-overs skipper , following a Champions Trophy group-stage exit . But the 34-year-old -- a regular in England 's ODI side when available , who has not featured in a T20 international in nearly six years -- poured cold water on the suggestion in an interview with Sky Sports . " I think that ship has sailed . I think I 've done my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whoever gets the opportunity to do it will be extremely proud and do a brilliant job . " Buttler , who led England to 2022 T20 World Cup glory , stood down last month after his side lost all three matches at the Champions Trophy to finish bottom of their group , a third-successive underwhelming showing at a global white-ball tournament . His vice-captain Harry Brook was thought to be the front-runner to make the step up but England 's managing director of men 's cricket Rob Key is giving himself time to consider his options . Ben Stokes has been linked with being England 's next white-ball captain ( John Walton/PA ) Even Test captain Ben Stokes is being considered , while head coach Brendon McCullum is open to appointing separate ODI and T20 skippers or bringing in someone not currently in either squad . Root , England 's all-time leading Test run-scorer , added : " The Champions Trophy was disappointing . We did n't play anywhere near what we 're capable of but there 's so much talent and so much more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it 's a really good opportunity to reset and to move forward again as a group and get back to the heights that we know we 're capable of and where we were in and around that 2015 to 2019 phase .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it discusses a potential scenario where Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren could be driven out of boxing, which does not involve a VP2[-ing] predicate or the specific interpretations (movement/extraction or prevention) associated with the transitive out of -ing construction.

The rise of Riyadh Season as a boxing entity , propelled forward by the sport 's power-broker Turki Alalshikh , could doom two promotional titans from Great Britain . That 's according to the former world champion fighter George Groves , who told CasinoApps that Alalshikh and his rapid influence and control of the sport could be the " end " of Eddie Hearn , who is the chairman at Matchroom , and Frank Warren , who founded Queensberry Promotions . To date , Alalshikh has helped orchestrate some of the sport 's biggest bouts , including Francis Ngannou 's two-fight swing in boxing , the Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk fights , and the undisputed clashes between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol . Additionally , Alalshikh has struck a partnership with Dana White and UFC owner TKO Group to launch a boxing league in 2026 that focuses on lower to mid-level talent , and prospects . Combined , this , as hinted by Groves , could lead to the demise of traditional @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Warren 's signing up more fighters than Eddie is at the moment , " said Groves . " They signed up a lot of fighters recently . " But with His Excellency Turki Al-Sheikh , maybe it 's the end of Eddie Hearn and the end of Frank Warren . " " Any change would bring panic . " Groves said . " The initial reaction would be a panic . Like ' oh , what 's happening here ? Is it going to come undone ? ' You always think with boxing , is it there forever or is there one spark that can get rid of it ? " It could die . I hope not as a fighter .

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: 'the WWE Universe (NP subject) + has been priced (V1) + out of watching shows (VP2[-ing] predicate)'. It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the high ticket prices are preventing the WWE Universe from watching shows. The NP subject 'the WWE Universe' is an animate agent, and the construction is used in passive voice, which is acceptable for this construction. Therefore, it is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It describes a scene with cracking walls, water splashed out of swimming pools, and people yelling, but it does not involve a transitive verb with an NP object followed by 'out of' and a VP[-ing] predicate that induces a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Runners break for the first race of the British Turf season , the Brocklesby , in 2023Credit : Edward Whitaker It is regularly the case that the Brocklesby is won by a cheap two-year-old who has shown something to their trainer ahead of their peer group , such as the ? 6,000 buy Doddie 's Impact in 2023 or little-known homebred Zminiature last year . Dreamers are out in force again , with a surprising number of the field either sold or bought back for low four figures , or even the accepted ' minimum bid ' of 1,000gns . That tends to reflect some combination of an uninspiring pedigree , sire or the physical attributes of the individual themselves . It 's why looking at them beforehand is so important , judging their current merits . Norman 's Cay , as a 60,000gns Tattersalls Somerville purchase , was not huge money in the grand scheme of things but has the biggest price tag in the field @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of breeze-up king Robson Aguiar , one of the main players behind Amo Racing 's traditionally strong two-year-old division . Although he 's by a speedy sire in Sioux Nation , there 's a slight concern this might be a little sharp for a colt who has middle-distance breeding on his dam 's side and whose half-brother Bright Smiles was not especially precocious in Germany . Kamakameleon does not have a profile screaming blistering speed either but his trainer Dylan Cunha has already proved himself an astute judge . Sucking Diesel is worth noting , being out of hard-knocking juvenile Sonko and from a quick family . Alice Haynes 's Aclaim filly had been engaged in the breeze-up sales , suggesting she 's put plenty of work in and may have caught the eye . Mighty Vega , whose half-brother Broxi was third in an Acomb Stakes , comes from a source that knows their two-year-olds and his young sire , Lucky Vega , has made early waves in Australia.Tom Peacock , bloodstock reporter The Brocklesby is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ little else to go on aside from the sales and pedigrees clues above . In those terms , the market is right in landing on the likes of Richard Hannon , who trains the Amo racing-owned Norman 's Cay , and Dylan Cunha ( Kamakameleon ) , rather than those more strongly associated with the race like Bill Turner ( The Boreham Bullet ) . The Hannon yard is strongly associated with juveniles , less so this specific race . Richard Hannon Snr did not have a runner in the Brocklesby after 1997 , while his son has run only two horses in more than a decade with the licence , but they finished third and first . Similarly , Cunha is one from one in the Brocklesby having won with Zminiature last year . Trainers who are selective about the race command more respect than those who are scattergun . While it is interesting that Roger Fell has four declared , the inference that he can not easily split them is not all that encouraging for their chances . A final consideration , more for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wisdom that the Brocklesby also works out as strong form . Since the race got a boost in prize-money in 2023 , there have been 31 runners . Only two won their next race , while the markets would have expected almost six ( 5.85 ) . The Brocklesby is unlikely to be getting weaker . What this stat more likely shows , if anything , is that other early juvenile races are getting stronger.Keith Melrose , betting editor |

The sentence 'Sun Motors takes the stress out of buying a car.' does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction. While it contains 'out of' followed by an -ing form ('buying'), the NP object 'the stress' does not function as a causee, and the sentence does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to describe removing stress from the process of buying a car, which does not align with the defined properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Lawrie Jones Published : 14:31 , 28 Mar 2025 WHEN buying a used car , does mileage matter ? The answer is yes , BUT less than you think . Search on Sun Motors and you 'll often see cars approaching ( or even exceeding ) 100,000 miles on the clock . 6 In the past , you might have worried about such a high mileage , but modern cars can safely do many thousands more than that -- as long as they are serviced , maintained and cared for . How the car has been driven and maintained is more important than mileage . A low-mileage car that 's been driven aggressively and with a patchy service record is going to be less reliable in the long run than a one-careful-owner car whose 100,000 miles have mostly been done on the motorway . What 's a good mileage on a used @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ give you some insights into when to buy and when to walk away from a high-mileage used car . This is n't a list of the world 's highest-mileage cars but instead a list of current cars that can rack up huge mileages without breaking down , wearing out or leaving you stranded by the side of the road in the rain . 6 This 2018 Honda Civic is available on Sun Motors for ? 223 a month with 88,000 miles on the clock . We need to find some negatives . The Civic does n't have the world 's biggest boot , and Parkers reports problems with the cooling system and smoking on start-up . Overall though , it 's a high-mileage car we 'd bet on going the distance . It 's affordable , stylish enough for the school run and business meetings , and big enough for a family 's worth of suitcases for the annual holiday . The 4x4 Scout is a bit more rugged than your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or a tow bar and you 're ready to go . Whether you 're buying a high-mileage runaround or a low-mileage sports car , here are some insights that might help you . A high-mileage car can be a good investment , provided it 's been cared for and driven carefully . In fact , many buyers prefer high-mileage cars -- especially those that have been regularly serviced and maintained -- because they 're mechanically sound and available for sale at lower prices . Be sure to do your research , ask questions and understand how the miles have been done and how the car has been cared for . When buying a car through Sun Motors , for example , you can reach out directly to dealers and ask them questions . Do n't be afraid to persist until you get the answers you want , and if you 're worried about a high-mileage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Where possible , always test-drive a high-mileage car . You 'll be able to feel how the car drives and inspect the interior and exterior . Sun Motors takes the stress out of buying a car . No more trips to the dealership to be assaulted by salespeople , instead you can sit back and search thousands of makes and models from the comfort of your home . When it comes to high-mileage cars , there 's no better place to buy than Sun Motors . You can compare models and mileage . Once you 've narrowed down your list , you can contact a dealer and ask them any questions you have . |

Bethany and I were thick as thieves and we 'd walk around with our arms linked , just so happy in each other 's company . Even as a young girl , she was always smiling . She got a genuine buzz out of making other people happy , and I remember one parents ' evening when her teacher told me that she was the little peacemaker . She 'd always step in when other girls were having fights and sorted them . To view this video please enable JavaScript , and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page I am determined to make change in her memory . I want to do her proud ( Picture : Simon Ashton/Supplied ) And I could n't have been more proud when she got into York University to study environmental geography , working towards her dream of going to Iceland to study volcanoes and help fight climate change . I truly believe she would have achieved her dreams , too . Her professor told me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The only area of her life where Bethany did n't seem to be thriving was in her relationship . Paul Crowther had known Bethany since she was 14 years old , after regularly visiting the music studio where Bethany 's father worked . I still ca n't believe that someone could be so evil , so monstrous , so predatory , as to take the life of someone they 'd known as a child . They started dating in 2017 , when Bethany was 19 and he was 33 . Of course , I was incredibly wary of the age gap . On meeting him -- and later visiting their flat -- my unease grew ; it became clear he was n't good with money and Bethany , so much his junior , seemed to be carrying him . Bethany loved to paint ( Picture : Simon Ashton ) She sent me letters from university ( Picture : Simon Ashton ) I did n't want to say too much for fear of driving her further towards him . Instead , I reminded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ relationship would run its course . I did ask her once , ' You do know he is n't right for you ? ' , and Bethany nodded ; little did I know that she was struggling . I learned after her death that she went to Women 's Aid quite early on in their relationship , and she had called him controlling , abusive and manipulative . I was beside myself when I found out ; I wondered why she had n't come to me . Then I remembered she was a protector ; the child covering my eyes from scary cartoons . She 'd always been so determined to sort problems out herself . And she did try . In early 2018 , Bethany sought help from Leeds Domestic Violence Service ( LDVS ) about how to leave her relationship . The next month , she visited a drop-in session and told a worker she was staying with her partner but wanted advice on what to do in an emergency situation . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alone . And whether you are currently coping with or have made the decision to leave , you do have options . If you are thinking about leaving , domestic abuse charity Refuge suggests starting a record of abusive incidents , which might include saving pictures or messages , or making notes of times , dates and details of incidents . The next step is to make copies of important documents such as court orders , marriage certificates , National Insurance Numbers and your driving licence . In the meantime , identify the safer areas of your home so that you know where to go if your abuser becomes aggravated . Ideally , this should be a room with a phone and a door or window to the outside . If you feel ready to leave , start by making a plan for a safe , reliable route out . If you feel safe to do so , pack an emergency bag so that you leave in a hurry if needed . You can access a local refuge , either with or without children , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ address is confidential . The National Domestic Abuse Helpline ( 0808 2000 247 ) is open 24-hours a day and has all the details of refuges in your area . In an emergency situation , ring 999 and ask for the police . If you are n't able to talk , try the Silent Solution : after dialling 999 , listen to the questions from the operator and respond by coughing or tapping your device , if possible . If prompted , press 55 to let the operator know it 's an emergency -- you 'll be put through to the police . There are barely words to describe the unimaginable grief I live with now ( Picture : Simon Ashton ) She said that while he had n't been violent , he 'd threatened to harm Bethany 's friends and family .

Bethany believed everybody deserved a second chance . She secured him some volunteering on a farm , which she thought would be good for him . Even when they broke up in June 2019 , Bethany continued to look after him . She agreed to his demands , like holding hands in public , and notified the police when he threatened to hurt himself ( and others ) to make sure he was safe . Bethany was failed . July 2019Bethany speaks to mental health workers Bethany told them that she had caring responsibilities for her ex-boyfriend and felt he could behave in an abusive manner , although she did not feel at risk . This was relayed to her GP but not to the police .

August 19 , 2019bethany phones leeds domestic violence service Bethany told LDVS that her ex-partner was making threats to her and others and was fixated ' on the power of killing ' . She also said that he 'd stabbed someone in the past . AUGUST 19 , 2019bethany gives a statement to the police about his domestic abuse I would later learn from the Domestic Homicide Report conducted after Bethany 's death that her statement was taken by a junior officer not long out of tutorship . The report found ' their lack of experience and poor supervision failed to identify the real risk that Paul Crowther posed Bethany ' . The same report revealed Bethany was concerned about the speed of the police investigation ( she chased them for updates , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and told a friend that she worried about being killed . september 4 , 2019another friend contacts the police Bethany 's friend emailed the police about Paul making threats on the back of Bethany 's complaint . september 7 , 2019bethany 's dad contacts the police Bethany 's dad reported that Paul threatened and followed him . This did not progress . september 9 , 2019another friend files a complaint Another friend of Bethany 's , who had received death threats , complained to the police ; the log was closed in error -- another complaint that never progressed . On top of all that , Paul , himself , was known to mental health services and the police . During a period of 1997 to 2019 , he was detained nine times under the Mental Health Act .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'count out of' in a different context, where 'out of' is part of a phrasal verb 'count out' followed by 'anything this year yet', which is not a VP[-ing] predicate. There is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

And former McLarenFormula 1 star Juan Pablo Montoya ca n't see Ferrari catching his old team if they do n't make vast and swift improvements .

In the race for the teams ' title , Ferrari already have a 61-point deficit to leaders and defending champions McLaren after only the first two rounds of the year .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It involves the phrase 'run out of' which is a phrasal verb indicating depletion, not a transitive out of -ing construction. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the interpretation does not involve movement/extraction or prevention.

British Steel has just six weeks to strike a taxpayer-backed rescue deal before the blast furnaces at its Victorian works in Scunthorpe are mothballed . The company , owned by China 's Jingye , is refusing to stock up on new orders of coking coal , with remaining supplies scheduled to run out in mid-May . This would lead to production halting halfway through a legal consultation with unions -- due to conclude at the end of June -- over 2,700 job cuts . Bosses at the company are understood to have resorted to hardline tactics in anger at being forced by the government to drop their preferred option of splitting new investment across their Scunthorpe and Teesside plants . They also feel they were blindsided by ministers offering significantly less state aid than they thought was under discussion . The Scunthorpe site ALAMY CHRISTOPHER FURLONG/GETTY IMAGES The crisis at British Steel also risks further national embarrassment as Britain 's ageing railways may end up dependent on steel rails from abroad . The Scunthorpe site produces steel for about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Likewise , Rachel Reeves 's flagship push to build a third runway at Heathrow would require steel from overseas rather from the Scunthorpe works , as had previously been championed by ministers . Advertisement But perhaps the most pressing issue facing British Steel is the prospect that the company will run out of coking coal supplies within weeks . Blast furnace production entails taking iron ore and smelting it with coking coal and other products to produce pig iron , which is then processed into steel . Blast furnaces require a regular supply of raw materials such as coking coal to remain operational . Generally , they can not be switched on and off for more than a handful of days . British Steel 's lead time for raw materials is about 45 days , which means that if there is to be any hope of keeping its blast furnaces running beyond mid-May , a new order will have to be placed imminently -- but only if there is a breakthrough in talks . " This is a case of days , not weeks , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Talks between Jingye and the government over a long-term rescue package have ebbed and flowed ever since the Chinese company acquired British Steel out of bankruptcy in March 2020 . Advertisement Hopes were raised last summer that both sides were in the final stages of agreeing a ? 1.25 billion deal , which included state aid of about ? 500 million . This entailed mothballing British Steel 's blast furnaces and building two less-polluting electric arc furnaces ( EAF ) -- one in Scunthorpe and one in Teesside . The prospect of the Scunthorpe works closing has ramifications beyond the steel industry TIMES PHOTOGRAPHER JAMES GLOSSOP But this was negotiated under the previous Tory government . Labour 's general election landslide sent both sides back to the drawing board , ultimately leading to a new ? 2 billion deal where EAF production would be concentrated in Scunthorpe only . Those involved with the talks insisted that the decision to opt for the Scunthorpe-only deal was at the government 's behest . Whitehall sources , however , said that splitting operations between Scunthorpe and Teesside @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ British Steel 's " challenging " approach towards negotiations . Yet while tensions run high , hopes remain of a breakthrough . Those in Jingye 's camp are taking some comfort in the government offering ? 500 million of state aid to a Chinese company amid the current geopolitical tensions . Under the new ? 2 billion deal , British Steel 's owners had hoped that ministers would stump up ? 1 billion . The question now is whether both sides can come to a financial compromise before the raw materials run out . " What we are really talking about now is money , " a source involved said . Advertisement In the meantime , government officials have begun contingency planning for British Steel to close . An emergency taskforce spanning the business , work and pensions , and communities departments is understood to have been stood up , with a team being primed to head to Scunthorpe to deal with prospective job losses .

Network Rail said it had " comprehensive contingency plans in place to ensure the continued supply of rail needed to fulfil our operational needs " . The government body has stockpiled a year 's supply , it said . The crisis also marks a big change in tone over the fate of British Steel from mid-February , when Heathrow boss Thomas Woldbye spoke from in front of the Scunthorpe blast furnaces as he announced the airport 's plan to build a third runway -- and pledged that the project would use steel from the UK .

" Jonathan Reynolds STEFAN ROUSSEAU/PA British Steel chief executive Zengwei An said : " We believe this is a necessary decision given the hugely challenging circumstances that the business faces .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('residents were being priced out of using public transport'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the action of pricing is preventing residents from using public transport. The verb 'priced' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure', fitting one of the semantic categories for V1. The NP object 'residents' functions as a causee, and the sentence can be paraphrased to reflect a prevention interpretation, making it an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Anthony Crolla is keen to help teenagers box clever by mixing education and boxing training . The former world lightweight champion is launching a BTEC diploma for 16-18 years olds with a twist - you will train under his guidance . The Project Boxing Diploma - delivered in partnership with Central YMCA - will give people the chance to get qualifications while also working in the gym either for fitness or to compete . Crolla said : " I wish a diploma like this was around when I was about to leave school . I would 've absolutely jumped at the chance to study and train every day . Obviously a BTEC can lead to a degree if the students want to go down that path , but I really believe it will help set them up for whatever they want to do , be that boxing or otherwise . " I 've been around boxing all my life and did alright when I was fighting , so I 'd like to think I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'm sure the students will also get a buzz out of training with some of the fantastic pro boxers we have in the gym . " I 'm also fortunate that I work in the media as a TV pundit with the major broadcasters . It 's important that the students get to understand how the whole business works . " Crolla founded Project Boxing with Manchester-based Dominic McGuinness and this is the latest part of their business which also sees them help sportsmen and women in and out of the ring . The diploma covers modules including : media production , marketing , coaching , sports science , nutrition , fitness , and employability skills . While students will train with Crolla at Fox Amateur Boxing Club in Oldham alongside his growing stable of professional fighters .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'get a kick out of having a new number plate' involves the verb 'get' with an NP object 'a kick', and 'out of having a new number plate' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it expresses enjoyment or satisfaction, which is not a characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('take thousands of people out of paying the tax'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the action described ('fully reforming the CGT system') prevents 'thousands of people' from 'paying the tax'. The verb 'take' can be classified under the means of exerting force or pressure, metaphorically speaking, which aligns with the construction's requirements. The NP object 'thousands of people' functions as a causee, participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'paying the tax'. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Rachel Reeves was right to say that the world is changing before our eyes . The government should respond by changing its economic policy . No one would envy the position the Chancellor found herself in this week . Lower than expected growth forecasts and higher borrowing costs have squeezed the economic position that the government set out last October . Both these factors are largely linked to international shifts , having more to do with decisions taken in DC or in Berlin than in London . But even if this is n't the government 's fault , it is their problem to fix . Faced with vanishing fiscal headroom and global instability , Rachel Reeves opted for a short-term fix : trimming budgets , tinkering with efficiency savings and deferring harder choices . Despite her recognition that the world had changed , there were no dramatic shifts in economic or political strategy . The risk though is clear . In an insecure world , there is no guarantee that further bumps in the road might @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rather than later . It 's well-worn territory by now but it is still true that the new Labour government inherited a poisoned chalice : stagnant growth , crumbling services and tax cuts that blew a hole in the budget . Her October fiscal rules rewrite and tax revenue raisers -- freeing capital for green investment and infrastructure and spending on public services -- was a necessary departure from the economic status quo . But this week 's measures reveal the limits of not leaning even further into that approach . By raiding the aid budget to fund defence and squeezing welfare to " rebuild headroom " , the Chancellor has prioritised fiscal optics over transformative reform . The gamble is that efficiency drives ( from Whitehall productivity to benefits conditionality ) will generate painless savings . But it 's hard to reform a system whilst pre-emptively cutting its budgets. ? History shows that upfront cuts to " unprotected " departments -- whether justice , transport or local government -- end up costing more downstream . Just look around at our prison overcrowding , court backlogs , or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ precondition for growth , but in December last year , the Prime Minister pivoted away from Labour 's " fastest GDP in the G7 " mission and towards targeting rising living standards . This creates a paradox . To maintain fiscal stability , the Chancellor opted for cuts , but ? 5bn of welfare cuts is ? 5bn directly taken out of the living standards of some of the worst-off households . The OBR itself recognises this , saying : " the government 's policy measures lower real household disposable income per person slightly .... The main driver is lower benefit income due to the Government 's welfare reforms " . To govern is to choose , and the choice that faced the Chancellor was " who should pay for the higher costs of debt interest in an economy that 's growing less quickly " . The government 's choice was that a large chunk of this cost should fall upon households in receipt of welfare . But there are alternatives -- notably raising tax revenues . There are obvious risks in raising taxes , including for growth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can be mitigated by focusing on targeted measures which put tax burdens on those who can best afford them -- and by seeking to reform taxation to help rather than hinder economic growth . Closing loopholes in inheritance tax that benefit the well-advised and the wealthy ( AIM shares exemption ) could raise up to half a billion pounds . Closing another loophole in capital gains tax that allows millionaires to flee the UK tax rates everyone else has to pay ( deemed disposal upon departure in CGT ) would raise up to another billion . Going even further and fully reforming the CGT system to introduce an inflation allowance and raising the rate would take thousands of people out of paying the tax and raise up to the tens of billions of pounds . Increasing levies on the profits of online gambling companies could raise up to ? 2n . These are fair , not radical , measures . Nor do they break the promises Labour made in their election manifesto . Labour won power by promising to turn the page on austerity . Whilst this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the cuts of the last decade ( in fact public spending is still rising ) they still harm people 's sense that the economy is working better for them . Stepping back from this week 's announcements and looking at the bigger picture , it 's hard not to conclude that we are in for more of these shocks , not less . The global picture is less stable and less certain than it has ever been . The government is doing the right thing in raising investment and repairing public services . But the world has changed , and the government must change plans in response . Making further cuts to stick to commitments and plans made in a different world is a high-risk choice . There are other options available . Dr George Dibb is associate director for economic policy and head of the Centre for Economic Justice at The Institute For Public Policy Research . |

A new study is raising concerns about the synthetic hair used in braiding Braids are one of the most popular hairstyles for black women , worn by celebrities and aunties alike - but questions are being raised about its effects on our health . The process can last up to five hours as stylists deftly part small , evenly-spaced sections of hair , and gradually add in extensions . Despite the long salon visits , braids have always been closely linked to convenience for me . Growing up , they were for holidays , as the style meant that instead of fretting over how frizzy my hair would get , I could jump in the pool with no worries .

Chelsea Coates Braids are my go-to style , especially for big occasions But a new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to achieve this style could be bad for their health . The US non-profit organisation Consumer Reports tested samples from ten of the most popular brands of synthetic braiding hair , and found that all of them contained carcinogens , and in some cases , lead . The research made an impact , as my Instagram feed and WhatsApp groups were flooded with links to the study , warning of the alleged risks hidden in our hair . One of the messages was from my cousin , Rochelle , who does her braids herself every other month . " Braids , famously , are called a protective style , " she later told me . It 's a term typically used to describe several Afro hairstyles , including braids , locs and wigs , that reduce how much your hair is exposed to the elements and cut back on constant styling . " The fact that this style is doing everything but protect us - it 's actually harming us - is actually quite wild to me . " It is the lack @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she adds . " People that are eating unhealthy food or smoking , they know that what they 're doing could harm their body , whereas if you 're putting braids in your hair , you 're not thinking that it 's harming you . " James Rogers , the head of product safety testing at Consumer Reports , says that the results are a cause for concern because women have " constant contact " with harmful chemicals if their hair is in braids , often for months at a time . But he also emphasised that more research was needed , saying : " We 're hoping that this begins the conversation , not only at the regulatory level , but also amongst our own communities , about sharing accurate information .

In 2021 Treasure Tress , a UK-based beauty subscription for black hair , found that black British women spent ? 168m a year on hair products . Earlier research by L'Oreal suggested that black women in the UK spend six times more on their hair than white women . " I 'd like to see more of a commitment to making sure that things are safer for us , rather than telling us that some of our historical , traditional practices as black women are wrong , " Ifeanyi says . Tendai Moyo Tendai Moyo founded Ruka during the pandemic For some , changing attitudes towards synthetic hair are opening up business opportunities . Tendai Moyo co-founded Ruka Hair in 2021 , which specialises in extensions made from natural hair sourced from South East Asia , as well as biodegradable synthetic hair , made from collagen fibre . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in demand " , especially in the US , where the study was published . But she sees this as part of a wider trend , which stretches beyond concerns raised by the new research . " We launched in the pandemic , and people were like , ' Oh , but salons are closed ' , but we were selling out because people do n't stop doing their hair . " She tells me that black women " got to experiment " more with their hair during lockdown and were more willing to try out new products . Tendai thinks more women turned to braids during lockdown One of the biggest draws of traditional synthetic hair brands , however , is their low price , which has made experimenting with different styles and colours affordable for years . But newer brands tend to have a higher price point - Tendai tells me that Ruka 's most popular synthetic hair type costs around 2.5 times more than several high street brands . Ifeanyi says that , as a student , brands like Ruka @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the hair is equivalent to the amount it would cost you to get the hairstyle done , so you 're essentially doubling the price . " Tendai defends this by comparing it to choosing between " fast food and healthy food " . She adds : " You can actually reuse our products if you 'd like , and therefore you 're saving money in that way . " Naomi says her job empowers other women - and herself Back at Jos ? e 's salon , Naomi tells me that braiding is not just an important source of income , but a valued cultural practice that brings her family together . " I call myself a braid baby because I 've been braiding since I was 6 years old , " she says , telling me how her family would bond over the skill as her mum proudly looks on . " It 's an empowering service to offer , " she adds , saying that it 's gratifying to do a job that leaves other women feeling uplifted . Despite growing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , braiding is a precious heirloom for this family - and for many other black women - passed down from generation to generation . As Ifeanyi tells me : " The form of extensions might change , but I do n't think the practice of getting braids is going anywhere . " |

The sentence includes the phrase 'scare people out of wanting to engage', which fits the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. The verb 'scare' is classified under the means of arousing fear, and the NP object 'people' functions as a causee. The interpretation is prevention, as the subject (social media posts) is causing people to avoid engaging. This aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

But she sees this as part of a wider trend , which stretches beyond concerns raised by the new research . " We launched in the pandemic , and people were like , ' Oh , but salons are closed ' , but we were selling out because people do n't stop doing their hair . " She tells me that black women " got to experiment " more with their hair during lockdown and were more willing to try out new products . Tendai thinks more women turned to braids during lockdown One of the biggest draws of traditional synthetic hair brands , however , is their low price , which has made experimenting with different styles and colours affordable for years . But newer brands tend to have a higher price point - Tendai tells me that Ruka 's most popular synthetic hair type costs around 2.5 times more than several high street brands . Ifeanyi says that , as a student , brands like Ruka @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the hair is equivalent to the amount it would cost you to get the hairstyle done , so you 're essentially doubling the price .

" Naomi says her job empowers other women - and herself Back at Jos ? e 's salon , Naomi tells me that braiding is not just an important source of income , but a valued cultural practice that brings her family together . " I call myself a braid baby because I 've been braiding since I was 6 years old , " she says , telling me how her family would bond over the skill as her mum proudly looks on .

Despite growing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , braiding is a precious heirloom for this family - and for many other black women - passed down from generation to generation .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'opt out of' followed by a gerund phrase 'receiving Mother's Day related missives', which is a different construction. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the interpretation is neither movement/extraction nor prevention.

My mum loved being a mother . I must have heard the story 1,000 times about the day I was born and she wanted no one , not even Dad , to be around her . She just wanted to be alone and enjoy this extraordinary new bond she would cherish until the day she died six years ago . It 's something I 'll never feel . It 's something I 've never had the urge to feel . And so , on Mother 's Day ( or Mothering Sunday , as it 's officially called in the UK , as Mum was wont to remind me ) , I could not be happier that I have no children . For the past few weeks , I 've been receiving e-mails from Interflora and Sainsbury 's , among others , giving me the chance to opt out of receiving Mother 's Day related missives . While they are aimed more at people grieving for the mothers they no longer have , I 've also noticed that there is a reticence in discussing anything to do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ -- the assumption being that if you have no children to lavish you with love , it 's going to be a miserable day in which you are bound to feel left out . That 's not the case for me . Yes , I will miss my own mum and feel great sadness that she is no longer here ( I spent most Mother 's Days with her ) , but I 'll relish my Sunday roast , sitting alone , as other people 's brats run riot in the restaurant , or older children sit glued to their iPhones , wishing they could be anywhere else . I was never a brat , of course . In fact , I have very happy memories of Mother 's Days from my childhood . On the Saturday , my brother and I would go to town with Dad , pick up a hydrangea pot ( no idea why , but it was always a hydrangea ) and choose a present . I remember only one : a beautiful smoked grey vase that I chose and subsequently broke my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of handing over the presents on Mother 's Day was not unlike Christmas morning , and never a year went past when I did n't seek out a special card for Mum , telling her ( despite our many disagreements and tensions ) how much she was loved . It bothers me not one iota that I will never experience any of that . While I know the immense joy that children bring to many people , mothers and fathers alike , I am all too aware of the realities that often underlie yet another superficially joyous day in our calendar . I was reminded of this watching the Mother 's Day episode of the brilliant Motherland . Hilarious and painful at the same time , it was a moving portrayal of the enormous expectation and ultimate letdown the occasion brings . The character of Amanda , the subject of the equally wonderful follow-up Amandaland , played by Lucy Punch , is deeply unpleasant , but in this episode featuring her mother Felicity ( the always sublime Joanna Lumley ) , it 's easy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because , deep down , all she craves is love . Clearly desperate to elicit any display of affection from her mother , Amanda goes all out to make Mother 's Day extra special , only to be thwarted at every turn by the overwhelmingly insensitive , unlikeable Felicity . Amanda 's hurt at hitting a brick wall with her every move will make you weep . Mother-daughter relationships are notoriously fraught . My relationship with my own mother had its problems , as she was a loving but controlling person with a quick temper . It always dissipated quite quickly but left me with a fear of confrontation that lives with me to this day . I am so glad I will never experience that with a daughter of my own . I am very close to many of my friends ' children and am impressed by their intelligence , curiosity and all-round incredible personalities as they make their way in an increasingly difficult world . They 've seen me as the fun-loving , easy-going , wild auntie figure who enjoys the kind of freedom and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them were younger , they wished I were their mother . I used to point out that they really would n't want that , because that fabulous auntie figure , in motherhood , would turn into a monster who would keep them chained to a radiator until they reached their 18th birthdays . It 's that fear of what horrors lurk on the outside world that would have made me an all too controlling mother . I am fiercely ambitious and would have been insisting they start applying for law school aged seven . As a very competitive person , I 'm sure I would have sulked had they come home with second prize in the egg and spoon race ( I do n't care if you are five , love ; a loss is a loss ) . My writing is , and has always been , my life ; I have known from the second I first held a pen that it was what I am here to do . There were men with whom I discussed having children along the way , but never did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have no objections morally ; I just never had the urge to procreate . Yes , there were times when I wondered if I was missing out -- most significantly when most of my single friends started to have children and dropped off my social radar . Some of them never returned , and as I 've witnessed the constraints placed on their increasingly diluted lives , year on year ( especially women , who bear the brunt of the child-rearing stress ) , I am increasingly grateful that my life did n't turn out that way . So , as you all head out today en famille , this Mother 's Day , please feel no pity for the barren spinster in the corner stuffing her face with Yorkshire pudding . I really would n't have wanted it any other way . |

Controversial plans to put eight homes on " overgrown " land behind a residential street have been given the go ahead for a second time . The plot lies behind Garendon Road , in Shepshed , with applicant Ian Herbert having previously been given approval by Charnwood Borough Council for an almost identical scheme in 2021 , but complications arising from the Covid-19 pandemic meant planning permission lapsed . More than 40 people objected to the latest application -- an increase from the 29 objections made to the original plans . At a meeting last week , the council 's planning committee heard from architect Jonah Mastin -- speaking on behalf of Mr Herbert -- who revealed the applicant had originally hoped to sell the land to a housing developer , but the process of finding a buyer had been disrupted by the pandemic . A deal was finally agreed for the land last year , but the original planning consent expired before paperwork could be completed . Mr Mastin said the " previously overgrown and unused @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ living and a flourishing community " . He said some neighbours welcomed the development " for the tidying effect it would have and the improvement to neighbourhood security that it might deliver " . The work will include the bulldozing of a bungalow to allow access to the land . Councillor Miriam Roberts of Shepshed Town Council said she was " very worried " about the access to the development . " It is one road in and out , and there are eight dwellings within it , which means at least eight cars for each of the eight houses . " The development would also make the current " dire " parking situation on Garendon Road worse , she said . Flooding and drains were also an issue for the town council . The development will have a pond for water drainage , and there will be a 10 metre gap between the development and a nearby , unnamed water course . Coun Roberts said the pond was " concerning " and added : " How will these features be safeguarded ? Because the last thing we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Ward councillor Robin Popley said he had " grave " fears about " the change of street scene and design " , as well as potential traffic and highways issues . He said the homes were " out of keeping " with the area , which he said had some of " Charnwood 's nicest architecture " . He shared Coun Roberts ' concerns over emergency vehicles accessing the development . Members voted to allow the head of planning to grant planning permission on their behalf as long as an agreement is reached with the developer over financial contributions towards local facilities and services , and to ensure government-mandated biodiversity requirements are met. |

One sunny spring afternoon 12 years ago I picked up the phone to my mum . I remember my allergies were spiking , but I felt happy that my favourite season was at its peak . Happy enough to undergo a phone call with my mother -- a task that always required effort . I was in my apartment ; she was in the two-family house where I 'd grown up . When we exhausted the safe topics of conversation -- her health and the weather -- she paused and said with relish something cruel and demeaning . It may have been directed at me , it may have been a dig at my sister Gerry or my Aunt Helen -- I ca n't recall . But I clearly recall the rest of our talk . Reining in my fury , I reminded her not to be cruel to me . " I suppose I have to watch every word I say to you ! " she replied . " You have to watch every word you say to everyone , " I said to her . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are not a good person . " I said goodbye , put down the phone and those were the last words I ever spoke to her . That afternoon , I freed myself from over 40 years of her abuse . To use the term psychologists favour , I became estranged from her . Right away , I felt taller , as if a physical weight had slipped from my shoulders , and I could stand up straight at last . Blowing up the last bridge between me and her was one of the most liberating , transformative moments of my life . Throughout my childhood , Teresa Dolan beat me regularly -- three times a week on average . Often , I had no idea why she was hitting me beyond a vague impression that I 'd disobeyed her . She had a lot of rules that were easy to break . For instance , if I slipped and replied to her with " yes " rather than " yes , Mommy " , I was in for it . Usually , she disciplined me with her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , long-handled wooden spoon she called a " beating stick " . When it struck bare flesh on the arms or legs or face , it raised red welts . She also battered us with hour-long harangues about our sloth , disrespect , and other shortcomings . Often , we were compared unfavourably to the Farleys , a family across the street whom she idolised . Once , she asked me , " You know what Owen Farley 's doing while you laze around here watching TV ? He 's trying out for TV commercials ! " At nine years old , I usually took her insults at face value , but this one seemed illogical to me because I knew that Owen 's mother arranged for him to go to those auditions , and my mother made no such arrangements . I cautiously pointed this out , and she retorted " Sure , I would n't take you to any try-outs . You 'd never get into a commercial . " She was right : I lacked Owen 's telegenic looks and charm . Even so , she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ might have harboured . This little scene she orchestrated was a form of psychological abuse . She would alternate her harsh attentions with various forms of neglect . Every morning , she remained in bed while we ate oatmeal she 'd cooked the night before and left to congeal in the pot . This gruel was repugnant , but we might be beaten if she found we had n't eaten it , so we usually took the less painful route . When I went away to university , I learnt how other people ate their oatmeal -- fresh , hot -- an epiphany as striking as any other I ever had on campus . ( I also grew three inches at university , which I attribute to having a proper diet at last . ) When I was 14 or so , she wistfully declared me " too old to hit " . But she still had other weapons in her arsenal , like berating us in public or dialling the water heater down to its lowest setting , " Vacation " , in deep winter . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it might sound like a sudden , even melodramatic act ' Credit : Sasha Arutyunova Our species ' greatest evil happens not in battle or behind bars , but in millions of homes every day . Abuse by relatives has harmed more people than warfare , captivity , terrorism , or any other torment humans have invented . About 20 per cent of adults in the UK will experience domestic abuse during their lifetimes , according to the National Centre for Domestic Violence , and less than a quarter of that abuse will be reported to authorities . Child abuse may be even more pervasive . According to the National Association for People Abused in Childhood , over 20 per cent of British adults experienced abuse or neglect before they were 16 years old . Family violence knows no borders of class or race , and neither does the denial of this evil . There 's a cross-cultural tendency to consider felonies committed by family as misdemeanours . We inhabit a world where people are routinely expected to eat dinner with their rapist , to pick up groceries @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ use Spotify . That belief that " blood is thicker than water " runs deep in our shared psyche . One of the main reasons that abuse so often goes unrecognised -- even by its victims and survivors -- is because we often only think about physical abuse and sexual abuse , while psychological abuse ( also called emotional abuse ) and neglect are often dismissed . The latter is certainly the most common , arguably the most harmful , and , tragically , the least recognised . Neglect can take numerous forms , from feeding a child poorly to ignoring their hygiene to not providing decent healthcare to failing to soothe their fear or sadness . Psychological abuse also covers a broad range of toxic behaviours : insults , intimidation , humiliation , persistent criticism , the " silent treatment " , and more . It 's also the most likely form to continue past a survivor 's childhood , as my abuse did . I managed to elude sexual abuse , but I was served ample portions of the other kinds of maltreatment . Even in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ undermining , which she deployed at every opportunity . And there were many opportunities , since I talked to her almost every day . These talks were my portion of the burden we siblings shared . If I did n't let her pour her vitriol regularly on me , she might drown my sister Gerry in it . I had internalised my mother 's opinion of me , so I believed I deserved her bile . But I knew that my sister -- a funny , huge-hearted social worker -- deserved none of it . Living near my mother , Gerry caught the lion 's share of her wrath . So , I tried to ease Gerry 's burden as much as I could . Early in my work with my therapist , I described these phone calls with my mother -- half-hour-long sorties through a psychic minefield . Her favourite topics included : how much better off I 'd be if I 'd become a lawyer , how the Blacks were taking over , and how sad she was that I 'd be going to Hell ( I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my therapist asked me a question I 'd never thought to ask myself . " What do you get out of talking to her . " " Nothing , " I replied . " Those talks are n't for me . I 'm just splitting the duty with Gerry . " " If you 're not getting anything out of them , you have to think about whether you should be having them any more . Nobody should be in a relationship that gives them nothing . " My journey toward parting began with my therapist 's question that day , and it 's a solid place for anyone to start investigating whether estrangement might be the best destination for them . The core of any relationship should be reciprocity ; both parties give each other things they need and want . This standard sounds straightforward , but it 's quite possible to miss it , as I did , by mistakenly applying other criteria . I was maintaining contact with my mother out of love for Gerry and a sense of fairness to her , as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Those taboos are the result of an intricate web of ignorance , avoidance , and shame that permeates our society . It begins where the abuse itself begins -- at home . Children lack knowledge of the world at large that might tell them their home life is aberrant . They think that however they live is " normal " , and whatever they get is what they deserve . Those who get love believe they deserve it , and those who get harassed , assaulted , or neglected believe they deserve it . Until my late teens , it did n't occur to me that multiple beatings per week were unusual . When I learnt that they were , it took me a couple more decades to realise that they were n't my fault . At first , the sense that everything at home was normal ensured my silence , then the sense that I was abnormal shamed me into silence . Academic and professional institutions are also unwittingly complicit in the conspiracy against survivors speaking out . One indication of their complicity is the dearth of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Both clinicians and researchers focus on reconciliation as a remedy for the wounds that family inflicts . I was very lucky to find a therapist who helped me evaluate the damage my mother had done to me and navigate the path to freedom from her abuse . But my therapist was acting on her own wisdom rather than guidelines her profession had set forth . Too many people do n't know about the healing power of estrangement because their mental health providers do n't know about it either . As the magazine Scientific American acknowledged in 2020 , " there has n't been much research about family estrangement . " This absence almost rises to the level of malpractice given a Cornell University study that estimated 27 per cent of American adults were partly or completely estranged from a family member . As with the other figures we 've seen , this one is likely on the low side . Karl Pillemer , a sociology professor who led the Cornell research , said as much , citing the shame which prevents many estranged people from reporting that status . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them , why are n't researchers digging more and deeper to discover why -- and how it might work even better ? A 2019 paper in the AmericanJournal of Psychiatry estimates that one in four Americans have experienced some form of abuse as children -- roughly on par with the UK numbers . As that paper shows , the impacts of this abuse are varied and often severe , putting survivors at significantly higher risk of depression , anxiety , addiction , obesity , Type 2 diabetes , stroke , suicide and more . For some people , healing from abuse will involve reconciliation ; for most , it should entail therapy . And for many , it should embrace partial or total separation . What prevents millions of people from stepping away from abusive relatives is an array of myths about estrangement thrust upon us by society , abusers , and even well-meaning friends . First is the myth that it 's rare . Above , I offer numbers that prove it 's not . But I only discovered them after I started researching the subject . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of other survivors , almost all of whom saw themselves as outliers at best , amoral misfits at worst . A few of them told me they 'd never spoken to anyone else , even their partners , about cutting off their abusers . Their silence has been enforced by other myths , especially the untruth that estrangement is unethical . When I started telling people I had cut ties , many expressed more sympathy for my mother than for me , reflexively lamenting the heartbreak she must feel at losing her son , rather than the grief I feel at never having had the decent childhood that everyone deserves . Often , their objections persisted even when I explained that my mother had committed acts against me that could earn her criminal charges -- assault , battery , harassment , and more -- if I were unrelated to her . Fearing judgments like these , I spent years downplaying my estrangement . But those years -- along with a lot of therapy -- have also shown me that most of us survivors are nothing short of heroic . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ retaining our humanity despite what we have been through . These realisations propelled me to write a book that would expose the myths , celebrate our heroism , and offer guidelines and encouragement for survivors who need to put distance between themselves and those who have harmed them . Eamon , happy at last , with his wife Credit : Courtesy of Eamon Dolan For someone who has n't gone through estrangement , it might sound like a sudden , even melodramatic act . But I know from my own experience and that of other survivors that parting can and should be accomplished gradually , that it should ideally begin with a short hiatus from the abuser , that the survivor should make explicit rules , and that , if those rules are broken repeatedly , they should feel fully empowered to step away from their abuser . Some abusers can redeem themselves , but most can not . I gave my mother two years and a clear set of guidelines for acceptable behaviour before I ultimately cut my ties with her . This gave her ample @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my guilt about leaving her when I finally did , since I 'd given her literally hundreds of opportunities to build her side of the bridge that might have connected us . Nobody has ever treated me as badly as my mother did , and , when I hung up the phone on her for the last time , I suddenly was n't being treated badly any more . I now had acres of psychic space I could roam freely , space she had occupied like an invading army with her rants , demands , and slights . Until I took over that space , I never knew how happy it would make me and how much mental and physical energy I 'd have when I did n't need to manage the fallout from her abuse . Healing from the effects of her long-term maltreatment has been slower , but estranging from her helped me greatly in my uneasy efforts to care for -- and about -- myself . A 2015 survey by the University of Cambridge 's Centre for Family Research revealed that 80 per cent of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " a positive effect on their lives " . This study , one of the few extensive assays of estrangement 's impact , gathered responses from 807 people in the UK , US , Canada , and elsewhere . Testimonials from respondents closely mirror my own experience . One said , " I feel like it made me a stronger , more independent person . " Another reported , " I have more self-respect . I am more relaxed . " Another said , " it 's been wonderful , and I 've been able to achieve a lot . " Still another declared that " it saved my life " . I feel exactly the same way . The two most common negative effects of estrangement are guilt and grief , and it would take me years to fully process these emotions . But , almost immediately after my last call with my mother , I realised that I had finally done what we should all have licence to do : We should all hold our family to the same standards that we hold our friends . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one week the way my mother treated me for 40 years . None of us should be imprisoned by the cosmic lottery that placed us in a cruel home . We owe our abusers nothing . We did n't ask to be born amongst them , and they did us no favour by conceiving us or sharing our genes . It is immoral for anyone -- abusers , bystanders , institutions -- to expect loyalty to family from anyone who has survived family abuse . The only way relatives can earn our loyalty is by treating us with love and empathy . I 'm not denying that familial bonds can match , if not surpass , all others . My sister is one of my closest friends , and my brother Tommy was my saviour in my youth . ( He died in a car crash in 1999 . ) I am also grateful to several uncles , aunts and cousins for uplifting me with many kindnesses during my childhood and beyond . They treated me as only dear friends could . As such , they , like my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stepdaughters , are part of my true family .

Each time my mind wanders - how would I cope if a drunk Jude Law turned up at my door ? But also , is this a real thing ? Could I really swap houses with someone on the other side of the world ? Later this year , I will complete my first transatlantichome exchange . I had been hoping to visit California for a while - my brother lives there -- but I had been put off by the high accommodation prices . Luckily , I managed to arrange an exchange in Los Angeles with a neat and stylish one bedroom flat , complete with gym and outdoor BBQ area near the beach . It costs around ? 250 a night for similar properties on Airbnb , meaning this option saves me ? 3,500 . While I am away , my flat will be occupied by an outdoorsy Californian girl , keen to surf on Scotland 's West coast . Having access to home comforts brings the costs of travel down even further . Another unexpected joy I get from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with fresh eyes . I am always excited to hear my guest 's stories of their time in Scotland -- from taking day trips to Glen Coe , to wild swimming in Loch Lomond , or attending shows , restaurants and football matches in the city . In the year since I began home swapping , I have taken more trips than ever and saved lots of money in the process . Using similar properties on Airbnb as a guide , I spent a week in the Lake District saving around ? 560 , 4 days in Iceland that would have cost ? 500 , 10 days in London saving around ? 1,200 and a week in a beautiful home in the South of France during peak season , which would have cost around ? 1,500 . I use a website called Homexchange , which verifies everyone 's identity and allows members to complete unlimited exchanges for a fee of $220 ( ? 170 ) a year . The website works on the principal of reciprocity -- it is not possible to browse the homes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You upload pictures of your home , its location and nearby attractions . Then you set your availability , list your preferred destinations or ask other home swappers to surprise you withexchange requests . I have very limited availability on my calendar ( and insist on a 5-nightminimum ) , and still get around 2-3 exchange requests a week . A good way to get inspiration is to use the site 's Reverse Search option and browse the homes of people who have listed your city as their destination of choice . I am a bit of a clean freak , so I favour simple , stylish homes that look very neat and tidy , a bit more like traditional holiday rentals . But it is possible to search for more lived in properties .

Each time my mind wanders - how would I cope if a drunk Jude Law turned up at my door ? But also , is this a real thing ? Could I really swap houses with someone on the other side of the world ? Later this year , I will complete my first transatlantichome exchange . I had been hoping to visit California for a while - my brother lives there -- but I had been put off by the high accommodation prices . Luckily , I managed to arrange an exchange in Los Angeles with a neat and stylish one bedroom flat , complete with gym and outdoor BBQ area near the beach . It costs around ? 250 a night for similar properties on Airbnb , meaning this option saves me ? 3,500 . While I am away , my flat will be occupied by an outdoorsy Californian girl , keen to surf on Scotland 's West coast . Having access to home comforts brings the costs of travel down even further . Another unexpected joy I get from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with fresh eyes . I am always excited to hear my guest 's stories of their time in Scotland -- from taking day trips to Glen Coe , to wild swimming in Loch Lomond , or attending shows , restaurants and football matches in the city . In the year since I began home swapping , I have taken more trips than ever and saved lots of money in the process . Using similar properties on Airbnb as a guide , I spent a week in the Lake District saving around ? 560 , 4 days in Iceland that would have cost ? 500 , 10 days in London saving around ? 1,200 and a week in a beautiful home in the South of France during peak season , which would have cost around ? 1,500 . I use a website called Homexchange , which verifies everyone 's identity and allows members to complete unlimited exchanges for a fee of $220 ( ? 170 ) a year . The website works on the principal of reciprocity -- it is not possible to browse the homes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You upload pictures of your home , its location and nearby attractions . Then you set your availability , list your preferred destinations or ask other home swappers to surprise you withexchange requests . I have very limited availability on my calendar ( and insist on a 5-nightminimum ) , and still get around 2-3 exchange requests a week . A good way to get inspiration is to use the site 's Reverse Search option and browse the homes of people who have listed your city as their destination of choice . I am a bit of a clean freak , so I favour simple , stylish homes that look very neat and tidy , a bit more like traditional holiday rentals . But it is possible to search for more lived in properties . If you have pets , they can be part of your listing too -- with guests taking care of your animals for the duration of the swap . 8 Since Tara began using Homexchange , she has been taking more trips than ever 8 Tara was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ HomexchangeCredit : Alamy 8 Tara 's bedroom during her stay in Santa Monica 8 Local experts in Nice were on hand for Tara to message during her stayCredit : Alamy 8 Tara Hepburn gave up her two-bedroom Glasgow flat to travel the world Vehicles ( and travel cards ) can also be swapped , saving even more money on transport fees .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'taking the pain out of organising a cab' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a situation where the shuttle bus service alleviates the difficulty of organizing a cab, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

If you 've made the journey from the UK to Australia or Asia , you 'll know it 's long . Like , really long . From multiple flights to the dreaded jet lag , 24 hours-plus of plane food and a small child kicking your seat for a day in the air , it 's no surprise long-haul travellers are on the lookout for ways to make the journey to the far side of the world more enjoyable . Whether you 're on your way to beach bliss in Bali and Koh Samui or heading Down Under to Australia and New Zealand , adding a Hong Kong stopover to your travel itinerary will make your epic journey even more thrilling . The city is a brilliant metropolis mixing East and West . From its heritage and local culture to cuisine and impressive architecture , it 's the perfect spot for a stopover to rest and recharge with direct flights taking less than 13 hours from London . Here are the best ways to experience the city , while making your journey unforgettable . It makes sense to start with Hong Kong 's airport , which is where you 'll first experience this amazing city after you touch down . There 's a reason Hong Kong International Airport is consistently voted one of the world 's best : its Airport Express whisks you into the heart of the city in just 24 minutes , while convenient luggage storage means you can get the most out of even the shortest of layovers without lugging around a suitcase . The Peninsula is a luxe stay for travellers The city 's hotels provide a range of rooms for all budgets , from historic charm to modern luxury , all of which cater to travellers on a stopover . There are several iconic hotels to choose from , such as The Peninsula ( pictured ) , the Four Seasons -- boasting views of Victoria Harbour -- and Mandarin Oriental . If you 're after something a little more boutique , try The Upper House , or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these are central and perfect for a quick visit , there are also great hotels closer to the airport so you need not worry about missing your flight . Novotel Citygate is a hassle-free option , with a complimentary shuttle bus for guests to the airport taking the pain out of organising a cab . Plus , you 're still only a short trip to the city centre on the subway , or a bus ride from the quaint Tai O fishing village . The best of both worlds , we say ! The Peak Tram gives you amazing views of the skyline ( Picture : Night Raven ) We 're sure you 've seen images of Hong Kong 's expansive , glittering architecture , but that 's nothing compared to seeing it in real life . A ride on the Peak Tram takes you to Victoria Peak where you can witness amazing vistas of city skyscrapers juxtaposed with the mountains and sea , showcasing the city 's panorama . Back down off the peak , you can cruise across Victoria @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make a reservation at one of the skyscraper 's bars or restaurants where you can sit back ( or sip back ) and take in the city 's lights from on high . Name a more captivating skyline from the water Do n't forget to set your alarm for 8pm when the daily Symphony of Lights transforms the harbour into an amazing display of laser beams and synchronised lights . Truly , dinner and a show . Dim Sum ? Do n't mind if we do Speaking of dinner , if you 're a foodie , this city offers up many a dishy delight , with a blend of traditional Cantonese flavours and international influences . While in town , wrap your tastebuds around local dumplings and noodles , teamed with egg tarts and pineapple buns with butter . Even on a whistlestop tour of the city , you can manage to fit in a range of culinary wonders , such as dim sum at the historic Lin Heung Tea House in Central before slurping down some wonton noodles at Mak @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the amazing street food offerings on the streets of Mong Kok , where you can snap up egg waffles and curry fish balls while on the go . Time is of the essence , and we do n't want you to miss a magic moment . Come nighttime , the Temple Street Night Market is calling , offering up food for every taste . Here we have everything from open-air restaurants serving seafood , or local cha chaan tengs like Australia Dairy Company keeping travellers fuelled with Hong Kong-style milk tea and toast . Hong Kong 's thriving streets welcome you all year ' round It 's worth leaving a little ( or a lot ) of free space in your suitcase to stock up the holiday wardrobe with some stopover shopping thanks to Hong Kong 's tax-free status . If you 're a fan of designer threads , explore Central mall and Kowloon Peninsula 's Tsim Sha Tsui , the latter being home to Canton Road , known for its array of luxury brands . Many of the malls are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heat , where you can shop ' til your heart 's content without breaking a sweat . Perhaps you 're after something a little more unique to remember your time in the city ? In that case , head to PMQ in Central , where you 'll find a multi-level retail space featuring a mix of local fashion labels , pop-ups , and unique boutiques for quirkier keepsakes and gifts for loved ones back home . Dragon 's Back hiking trail is the perfect way to see nature Off the man-made track , Hong Kong provides an accessible escape for those who want to be at one with nature . Look no further than the Dragon 's Back hiking trail , which was crowned Asia 's best urban hike -- which can be completed in just a few hours ( great for those on a flying visit ! ) -- providing dreamy coastal views . If you 'd rather stay central , Hong Kong Park is an oasis nestled among the skyscrapers of the city , even complete with a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nature downtown . For those with a little more time , in 30 minutes you can be on the golden sands of Repulse Bay , paddling in the cool water , or catching some waves at the aptly-named Big Wave Bay . There 's nothing like some salt water to bring the holiday vibes . Time your trip with a cultural moment The city never sleeps , so it does n't matter what time of year you 're touching down there will always be something special to experience . Chinese New Year is particularly amazing , as the city is transformed into a tapestry of red lanterns , flower markets and fireworks to celebrate , while art takes over in March with Art Basel . Riffing on the earlier culinary heart of the city , autumn then brings the Wine & Dine Festival , while March also sees Hong Kong Rugby Sevens come to the city for sport lovers to enjoy . Before you know it , you 're on the next leg of your holiday , feeling refreshed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ offer ! |

Bills are set to rise from April -- Metro 's money expert explains what action you can take to beat the hikes ( Picture : Getty/Metro ) Brits are being urged to take meter readings and check the terms of their phone and broadband contracts ahead of bills rising . This year ' Awful April ' looks likely to be particularly painful , with nine in 10 councils taking the opportunity to raise taxes by the maximum allowed amount , and water bills rising by as much as 47% . Although you ca n't escape all hikes , with the right know-how , you can potentially save hundreds of pounds . But time is running out . Below , we talk you through how to hack household bills as businesses and councils put up their prices to compensate for inflation and rising costs . Have you been overpaying for council tax ? ( Credits : Getty Images/iStockphoto ) Most of us will pay 5% more on our council tax from April -- that 's an average of about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ household -- but a few unlucky folk will find the bill is much higher . That 's because their council has been given permission to raise even more from customers because they are in dire financial straits . Councils that can do this include Bradford , which will put up council tax by 10% , and the London borough of Newham , whose residents will pay 9% more . Is there anything I can do about it ? Check you are not overpaying . There are a few reasons why council tax might be reduced . Full-time students , single people , carers and those with certain diagnoses are entitled to a discount , as are some people on low incomes , so check your council website to see if you are eligible . You may also be able to apply to reduce your council tax band . The amount you pay in tax depends on the valuation of your house in 1991 , and many properties have changed since then . There are more details on how to challenge the banding at ? gov.uk @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you 'll go up a band , too ! Appliances left on standby are unnecessarily adding to your bills ( Credits : Getty Images/iStockphoto ) The government cap on energy prices rises from April 1 to 6.4% , so if you 're on a capped energy tariff , the gas and electricity you are using will cost more . Energy regulator Ofgem says this will cost the average household ? 111 a year if prices remain at the new level . The cap itself only runs for three months , after which prices may rise or fall again . Is there anything I can do about it ? If you are on a fixed-rate tariff , you wo n't pay any more for your energy until that rate comes to an end . If you are n't , and your energy is on a capped tariff , now might be a good time to see if you can save by switching . Use comparison sites such as Uswitch , Moneysupermarket or Comparethe ? market to find cheaper deals . By doing this you show your gas and electricity supplier exactly how much energy you have used at the lower rate . This will prevent firms from estimating usage and potentially charging for energy used before April 1 at the higher rate . Taking steps to reduce your energy bills will also pay dividends , although the good news is that the latest hike is coming in as the weather gets warmer and energy demand reduces . Fiona Peake , consumer finance expert at Ocean Finance , suggests the following tweaks to bring bills down further . ' Leaving appliances on standby overnight can add up to ? 100 a year to your bills . Switching everything off at the socket ( except essentials like your fridge ) can be an easy way to save , ' she says . ' Another simple fix is lowering your boiler 's flow temperature to 60C . It wo n't impact the warmth of your home but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' If you 're struggling to pay your water bill you may be eligible for a ' social tarriff ' ( Credits : Getty Images/iStockphoto ) Water bills alone are set to increase by an average of ? 123 a year from April 1 , a 26% increase , according to the Consumer Council for Water ( CCW ) , which represents householders . Depending on where you live , some people will face even bigger rises , as water companies are raising their bills by different amounts . Some of the highest rises include Southern Water , which is increasing bills by 47% , South West Water ( 32% ) , Thames Water ( 31% ) and Yorkshire Water ( 29% ) . Is there anything I can do about it ? Andy White , from the CCW , says that customers who are finding water bills difficult to pay should check whether they are eligible for a ' social tariff ' . If you are eligible because you have a low income , you could save an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ medical conditions that mean they use a lot of water could be eligible for WaterSure tariffs , with an average saving of ? 286 a year . Two in five households in the UK do n't have a meter and some would be better off if they switched . You can try the CCW water meter calculator at ccw.org.uk to see if that could be you . You can also , unless you live in an area where water meters are compulsory , switch back again after two years if you are unhappy with it . Sylvia could n't believe her savings ( Credits : REBECCA DOUGLAS ) Sylvia Tillmann , from Ramsgate in Kent , is saving over ? 175 a year now she 's switched her water to a meter . Her bill used to be ? 300 a year , and now it is just under ? 125 . The 58-year-old lives in a one-bedroom flat , but still saved on her Southern Water bill by switching to a meter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conscious , and take short showers rather than long ones , ' she says . ' I only use the washing machine and dishwasher when it 's really full , so the meter has n't changed my behaviour at all , just saved me money . ' Sylvia says that she was prompted to get a meter by a friend who had also saved money , and although she had to wait a while for an engineer to come and fit it , the process was otherwise straightforward . ' To start with , I was checking the meter all the time to see if it moved , and it only moved a little bit with each shower or use of the dishwasher , ' she says . ' I could n't believe my savings , and I 'd advise anyone who is careful with water like me to do this . ' If you 're out of contract you can wrangle yourself a better deal ( Credits : Getty Images/iStockphoto ) Broadband and mobile phone companies are allowed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inflation if this was in your contract when you signed up . Fiona , at Ocean Finance , says this could push bills up by six to 7.5% , adding ? 3- ? 5 per month to household expenses . Is there anything I can do about it ? If you are out of contract , you can leave and get a better deal , or haggle with your current provider for a cheaper price by threatening to leave . Check out comparison sites such as Uswitch or Moneysupermarket for deals that might work for you . If you 're in contract , chances are you 'll have to pay to leave , but do check whether they will waive exit penalties when prices rise . If the penalties are steep , make a calendar note of when the contract ends and switch as quickly as you can . Metro 's money expert Andy Webb , who runs financial blog Be Clever With Your Cash , shares his top tips to haggle down your phone or broadband @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out of contract , or soon will be , then this is the time to either find a new provider that charges less or haggle a better deal , ' he says . Andy advises playing hardball with your phone provider . ' Just tell the person you want to leave , and make sure you 're put through to the disconnection team as they have the most power when cutting prices , ' he explains . ' You can even call their bluff and trigger the cancellation . Often they 'll call back with an even better deal . If they do n't you can always say you 've changed your mind and accept the previous offer . ' When it comes to broadband , if you 're in contract , there 's not much you can do but wait to find out the increase , says Andy -- with a few exceptions . ' First , if you 're a Sky broadband or O2 mobile customer , these two companies will be charging more from April 1 , but there are loopholes that mean @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ broadband , though sadly not TV , it 's because Sky does n't have this increase baked into the contracts , so it 's a change in the terms you agreed to , ' he explains . ' The opportunity to end an O2 contract early has n't been widely publicised , though the email I received also talked about other contract changes , such as fair usage on worldwide roaming . Whatever the reason , it still offers the opportunity to quit . ' But you need to act fast . You 've got ? 30 days from them telling you of the changes to tell them you want to leave ( or use it as a bargaining chip ) . Since you might have had the communication in early February , the clock could already ? be ticking . ' Another option worth exploring to beat the increases is if your internet speed has n't been what 's promised , and they 've not been able to fix it in 30 days , then you can also cancel your contracts early . ' Is there anything I can do about it ? Expensive vehicles attract more car tax , so ensuring you do n't have a vehicle with a ' list price ' of over ? 40,000 will save you money . Otherwise you only get out of paying car tax if your car is off-road and declared as such , or is over 40 years old .

" The insider revealed that Goldie , who received Oscar nods for her roles in the 1970 hit Cactus Flower and the 1981 classic Private Benjamin was " flattered " by an offer to join the show . Earlier this year , Goldie astounded fans during the Oscars when she took the stage with Andrew Garfield and claimed to be " blind , " only to disclose afterwards that she had cataracts , reports the Mirror .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'backed out of appearing' which is an intransitive use of 'back out' followed by a gerund, not involving an NP object that functions as a causee. There is no causer-causee relationship, and it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses the phrase 'get the most out of using Venti', where 'using Venti' is a gerund phrase acting as the object of the preposition 'out of'. This does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Venti is a 5-Star Anemo character who was added to Genshin Impact during its launch in version 1.0 . While Venti is featured as the boosted 5-Star character on his Ballad in Goblets Banner in version 5.5 , he will eventually return to Genshin Impact at some point in the future when the Banner schedule cycles back to him . If you want to prepare for him , we 've listed Venti 's Ascension materials and Talent materials so you can level him up to his full potential right away . To understand how you might play him , we 've also detailed what we know about Venti 's kit and Constellations . Passive two : Stormeye - Regenerates 15 Energy for Venti after the effects of his Elemental Burst end . If an Elemental Absorption occurrs , this also restores 15 Energy to all characters of that corresponding Element in the party . Passive three : Windrider - Decreases gliding Stamina consumption for your own party members by 20% . Not stackable with Passive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Normal Attack - Divine Marksmanship Venti performs up to six consecutive shots with a bow if tapping the normal attack button . Holding the attack button down instead makes Venti perform a more precise Aimed Shot with increased damage . While aiming , favorable winds will accumulate on the arrowhead , and a fully charged wind arrow will deal Anemo Damage . Lastly , as with most plunging attacks , Venti fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground , dealing AOE damage upon impact . Image credit : HoYoverse If you tap the Elemental Skill button , Venti summons a Wind Domain at the opponent 's location , dealing AOE Anemo Damage and launching opponents into the air . If you hold the Elemental Skill button , Venti summons an even larger Wind Domain with Venti as the epicenter , dealing AOE Anemo Damage and launching affected opponents into the air . After unleashing the Hold version of this ability , Venti rides the wind into the air . Opponents @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ground slowly . Venti fires off an arrow made of countless coalesced winds , creating a huge Stormeye that sucks in opponents and deals continuous Anemo Damage . If the Stormeye comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro , it will deal additional Elemental Damage of that type , but Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use . Tail of Boreas . Image credit : HoYoverse To get the most out of using Venti , you will have to level his skills up by using Talent materials , which vary from character-to-character . For Venti , you 'll need to farm a lot of Slime and Ballad materials to fully upgrade his capabilities . As Venti has three Talents , you will have to spend three times the Talent materials listed below to fully upgrade all of his abilities , which we 've also detailed below the table . Here 's what Venti Talent materials you need to improve one of his abilities : Just like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ upgrade his health , attack , defence , and critical hit effectiveness . You 'll need to farm a lot of Cecilia and Slime materials for Venti to fully upgrade his capabilities .

There is also Acquaint Fate rewarded for reaching certain Ascension levels . You can spend this Fate on the standard and beginner Banners to Wish for characters and weapons . Here 's what Venti Ascension materials and Mora you need to upgrade him for each Ascension level : In total , here 's all the Ascension Materials you need for Venti in Genshin Impact : x1 Vayuda Turquoise Sliver x6 Vayuda Turquoise Gemstone x9 Vayuda Turquoise Fragment x9 Vayuda Turquoise Chunk x18 Slime Condensate x30 Slime Secretions x36 Slime Concentrate x46 Hurricane Seed x168 Cecilia 420,000 Mora By getting duplicates of Venti from wishing on his Banner , you will receive his Stella Fortuna . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ each upgrade either improving an existing Talent or Passive ability .

They 're technically classified as " Crown " rarity , the only cards that have this prestigious mark . Though rarity does n't necessarily equate to strength , some of these cards find themselves in our Pokemon TCG Pocket best decks tier list . To get these rare cards , you can get them in one of several ( all very unlikely ) ways : Draw from packs . These cards have a very small chance to be drawn from the Genetic Apex packs .

Keep an eye on your Wonder Picks for the flash of gold ... Pack Point Exchange . All three cards can be bought from the Pack Point Exchange . They 're the most expensive cards in the exchange , costing 2500 Pack Points each . Considering that each pack you open gives you 5 pack points , you 'll need to open 500 card packs to get just one of them . Draw a Rare Pack or " God Pack " : Every time you open a pack , there is a 0.050% chance of it being a special Rare pack .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It lacks a clear causer and causee relationship, and the phrase 'locked out of building' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It uses 'locked out of' followed by a gerund phrase 'building the best decks', but the subject 'you' is not causing an object to move or preventing an object from doing something in the required manner. The interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It mentions 'Black Deer Festival in Kent opted out of hosting a 2025 event due to rising costs', where 'opted out of' is followed by a gerund phrase 'hosting a 2025 event', but there is no NP object between the verb 'opted' and 'out of'. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Expensive headliners , exclusivity contracts and a lack of government support are seeing costs skyrocket while casual revellers abandon ship March 31 , 2025 5:00 am ( Updated 6:01 am ) Kuba Shand-Baptiste at City Splash in Brixton , London , in 2023 cancel **31;2413;TOOLONG Share bookmark Save share cancel **34;2446;TOOLONG It 's 3pm . Your feet hurt . You 've just spent the past half-hour looking for your mates , who are now half-drunk and dotted around opposite points of the one-day festival you hesitated to buy tickets for . You 're half-drunk too . The stomach-gurgling hunger you 've been trying to ignore since midday has become so intense that you might just change your mind about that ? 20 burger and cheesy chips you scoffed at earlier . As you weigh up whether to trudge across the water-logged swamp that used to be a lush green lawn to find them , the mid-day hangover sets in . Your favourite act , the only one you really care about , is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ longingly at the gates you entered through , wishing you could be on the other side and slip out without being noticed , and ask yourself : " What am I doing here ? " There are a lot of downsides to day festivals -- many of them for those who have n't actually chosen to go -- from the mildly irritating ( gaggles of loud merrymakers blocking residential streets ) to the more offensive stuff ( overzealous revellers throwing up in public spaces before noon , peeing in broad daylight , chucking cans into public greens ) . Kuba with friends on the way to City Splash , 2023 This has all been my reality in recent years . Having sworn off camping as a teenager , I 've never been keen on the kind of live music events that require a tent and copious baby wipes , and so " day festivals " became a happy medium : a taste of the atmosphere of a traditional overnight festival , with half the filth . But increasingly , I feel like I experience all the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or escapism . There are no afterparties -- usually , your energy is conserved for doing everything you can to avoid the post-festival crush . There 's also very little downtime . And if you have the misfortune of going to events that are held in the same venue ( City Splash and Cross the Tracks , for example , have been held within days of each other in Brockwell Park ) it can be a nightmare for your footwear if there 's even a hint of rain . Forget rolling hills or quaint country views , too . Yet decades ago , filthy portaloos , long bar queues and bad weather were small prices to pay for the delight of seeing and discovering artists , being around other music fans and partying all day long . The food may have been expensive for the time ( usually around ? 4-5 for a hearty meal ) -- but not so wild that I 'd end up spending hundreds of pounds that I did n't have . Now , ? 15-20 meals and ? 15 cocktails are commonplace @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ festival organisers ( and little government support to keep the industry afloat ) threaten these events -- and customers like me are starting to question the value of what 's on offer . Artist exclusivity contracts and high headliner fees imposed by far more profitable entertainment companies and agencies are a huge problem for these events , and one of the main reasons they 're becoming so expensive . Jack Robinson , managing director of Pack Group , the company behind one-day and overnight festivals like City Splash , Cross the Tracks and Outlook , tells me they can " take up to 60-80 per cent " of a festival 's budget . Kuba Shand-Baptiste with friends at City Splash , 2023 " From when I did my first festival in 2008 to now , artist fees have gone up tenfold .... It can mean people looking at line-ups and thinking , ' That does n't seem as good as when I went five years ago ' . " Perhaps it 's not surprising that last year , 44 per cent of music fans cut back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rock Festival ( based in Devon ) announced its cancellation this month ; last year , Black Deer Festival in Kent opted out of hosting a 2025 event due to rising costs ; and Liverpool 's Africa Oy ? festival announced a hiatus for 2025 for the same reason . For the casual festival-goer , spiralling costs do not exactly appeal . But some of us are still hanging on . You 'll be surprised to learn that , for all my grumbling , this year , I 'm still going to three one-day festivals ( City Splash , All Points East and Wireless ) . Clearly , ticket prices and some of the less fun memories I have of these events ( the image of unmelted , pre-packaged grated cheese lying on tepid chips remains a flashback ) have n't fully deterred me . That 's a huge privilege , of course , even if it does n't always feel like one when you 're in the middle of it all . What does , I suppose , are the other parts of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the same music you do , discovering new artists , getting swept up in the frenzy of seeing your favourite acts live and spending time with friends . You may lose them in the crowd every once in a while and spend more than you wanted to , but the joy of celebrating what should be thriving subcultures might just encourage you to do it all again next year . |

The record-high conscription drive suggests Russia is planning to boost its ranks after months of sustained losses in trying to expel the last of Kyiv 's troops from Kursk and in its slow grind forward into Ukraine 's east . Russian men aged 18-30 are eligible to be drafted for mandatory military service through bi-annual call-ups in spring and autumn . Each time Russia has grown its army , its defence ministry has denied any link to the Ukraine conflict and claimed that the conscripts would not be sent into active combat . In a decree published on Monday , Putin demanded the draft size for this year 's spring conscription hit 160,000 by July 15 , up from 150,000 in 2024 , 147,000 in 2023 and 134,500 in 2022 .

Newspapers in Moscow have been unusually critical of Donald Trump this morning after he criticised the Russian president for dragging out peace negotiations . Moskovsky Komsomolets , a leading pro-Kremlin paper , accused the US president of not fulfilling " obligations " to stop Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy infrastructure .

The government has said Sweden will ramp up aid to Ukraine this year , boosting the 2025 budget allocation to 40 billion crowns ( ? 3.09 billion ) from 25 billion ( ? 1.9 billion ) projected earlier , to aid Kyiv 's fight against Russian invasion . The Kremlin has said Russia is continuing work on " building bilateral relations and on Ukraine settlement ideas " after Donald Trump said he was " p----d off " at Vladimir Putin for dragging out peace negotiations .

China 's cooperation with Russia does not target a third party and should not be affected by any third party , " a spokesman reporters at a daily briefing . Newspapers in Moscow have been unusually critical of Donald Trump this morning after he criticised the Russian president for dragging out peace negotiations . Moskovsky Komsomolets , a leading pro-Kremlin paper , accused the US president of not fulfilling " obligations " to stop Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy infrastructure . " All agreements on the level of President Trump are only worth a few pennies on market day . Moscow is prepared to make a deal with the US president , as ' the leader of the free world ' , and the undisputed boss of Nato and ' the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the leader is not leading , the boss is not bossing and the lord is not directing his vassal , " the paper stated .

" A team of British commandos escorted Ukrainian generals out of Kyiv to join an emergency war room where Western military chiefs plotted the defeat of Russia . Two generals were taken by armed guard on diplomatic passports into Poland , then Germany , shortly after the war broke out to join an operation involving the CIA that would help turn the tide of the conflict and embarrass Vladimir Putin 's armed forces .

When three men were charged in Singapore last month over an alleged $390 million fraud , the goods at the centre of the investigation were not money or precious jewels , but silicon chips . The men , including a Chinese national , were accused of defrauding the American companies Dell and Super Micro by buying their servers , believed to contain sought-after Nvidia silicon chips , and falsely representing where they would end up . The case has shone a spotlight on how China is potentially using third-party nations to get around US export restrictions and smuggle valuable American advanced chips into the country . The charges came a week after the US was reported to be investigating whether China 's DeepSeek had used third parties in Singapore to get around its chip export curbs . Amid all of the noise around President Trump 's widespread tariffs , more of which will be unveiled on Wednesday , the material @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to preserve economic exceptionalism and military strength is advanced silicon chips , commonly known as semiconductors . Advertisement Even as questions are raised by DeepSeek 's claim of being able to compete with America 's large language models artificial intelligence software using lower-grade chips , it is widely recognised that the most advanced chips designed by US companies will be needed for the country to lead in innovation around quantum computing , aerospace , cyber security , humanoid robotics and autonomous weapons systems used by the military . So far , the US government has been ineffective at preventing advanced chips from reaching strategic rivals . Restricted Nvidia chips have been reaching Russia via India , according to a Bloomberg investigation last year . American chips are suspected to have been used in Russian drones deployed in Ukraine . Last week , the Trump administration made its first move in limiting China 's advances in AI , by adding dozens of Chinese entities to its export restriction list . However , it will need to take further action to clamp down on the semiconductor black market @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ University of Singapore and author of Techno-Nationalism : How It 's Reshaping Trade , Geopolitics and Society , said : " The way most chips are smuggled into China is , first and foremost , they are sent to a front company , and that company may very well be listed as part of a larger legally known conglomerate . Then that company simply turns around and routes the chip . " He said the chips are generally embedded in a server or another piece of equipment . Capri sees the potential for the Trump administration to threaten to increase tariffs on countries that do n't clampdown on restricted US chips being routed through their countries to reach China . Advertisement Malaysia could come under the spotlight soon , he believes , because Chinese companies have been involved in building data centres there and renting cloud computing space from third parties so they do n't have to acquire leading-edge Nvidia chips but can still access their computing power . " It 's not inconceivable that the Trump administration will use tariffs as a blunt instrument when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , " Capri said . Countries caught in the middle , such as Japan , South Korea and Taiwan , will probably be expected to choose sides when supporting major technologies that require the most advanced chips . All of this poses challenges for corporate supply chains . Under existing legislation , companies ask entities in their supply chain to say who the end user is for their technology and what the end use is for , as well as declaring that they wo n't be providing it to third parties . However , it is very difficult to verify the end user . That could mean more investment in so-called radio-frequency identification technology that allows a speck of material to be implanted on a chip so it can be traced . American policymakers will be hoping that China stays far behind in the race to produce the most advanced chips . China does not currently have access to extreme ultraviolet lithography ( EUVL ) machines , which are primarily manufactured by ASML , the Dutch semiconductor giant , and are used by Nvidia to create complex patterns @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ selling its most advanced EUV machines to China . However , Huawei is working on a rival EUVL product . If Trump wants to continue the narrative of US exceptionalism , his trade agenda should focus on how America 's home-grown technology can be protected . |

For two harrowing years , Julie Davis has been living every mother 's worst nightmare , waking up each day not knowing whether her missing son is dead or alive . Her son , Levi Davis , 24 , a star of rugby union , disappeared on October 29 , 2022 , leaving his mum in a terrifying state of uncertainty . Julie expresses : " It feels worse than a bereavement . When someone 's missing , you are constantly grieving . But I will never give up hope of finding Levi alive . " The last conversation she ever had with Levi replays endlessly in Julie 's mind . He had just landed in Barcelona and had phoned to tell her he was out of money and needed ? 30 for a hotel . Julie had reprimanded him for not heeding her advice about travelling without saving enough for the trip . The next time she tried to reach him , there was only silence . Julie recalls : " He phoned and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? ' But I said , ' Look , Levi , you know I 've been supporting you more than enough over the past number of months . You 've got to learn to stand on your own two feet ' . " She later sent a text asking if he had managed to get the money for the hotel . Julie shares : " There was no reply . " Like the families of the 170,000 people who go missing in the UK each year , including 75,000 children , Julie , 53 , from Solihull , West Midlands , is battling to find answers about what happened to her son . While some missing person cases gain significant attention , many remain largely unnoticed . The Mirror has launched its Missed campaign to help individuals like Julie bring renewed focus to their cases . Rugby star Levi , a former winger for Bath and participant in The X Factor : Celebrity in 2019 as part of the group Try Star alongside fellow players Thom Evans and Ben Foden , was last seen on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 10pm . Pub staff reported he had only consumed one or two drinks . Levi , who had run out of funds , was requesting ? 30 from friends and family for a hotel stay . His last known contact was a WhatsApp message sent to a friend after midnight . Levi had embarked on his travels after a severe knee injury rendered him unable to continue playing rugby . He had contemplated leaving the sport to pursue his other passion , music . Julie , a mother of six , shares : " Levi wanted to travel Europe because of his anterior cruciate ligament tear . He 'd been in Ibiza for a couple of weeks to work on music , and he said he planned to stay at a hotel in Barcelona overnight before going to his next destination , which was left open . But he had run out of funding . " The morning following Levi 's disappearance , passengers on a nearby cruise ship close to Barcelona 's port reported spotting a man in the water . Julie adds : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had a white T-shirt on , which we know Levi did . " Whoever saw him in the water said he looked to have been dark-skinned and aged around 30 . " Spanish police initiated a search but later halted it when no one from the boat was reported missing . They concluded that Levi had drowned . However , Julie contends : " They left so many questions unanswered . They said his phone last pinged by an underground station near to the port . " What was he doing there at half past six in the morning ? " His passport was discovered a week later in the cargo area of the port . His bank account has remained untouched . Catalan Police assured Julie that all her inquiries would be addressed in their report . She recounts : " When it finally arrived last year , half of it was in Spanish and half in Catalan , so we had to get it translated all 250 pages of it . " The police now advise she must engage a lawyer to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now crowdfunding to find a solicitor . The cheapest one we 've been quoted is ? 5k , and this is for preliminary work . As far as the UK police are concerned , we 've just been totally forgotten . " Levi , who had openly discussed his bisexuality , had previously fallen prey to a " sextortion " scheme before his disappearance , but Julie suspects a connection between the two incidents . She reveals that Levi was assaulted and the incident was recorded , which led to him uploading a video expressing fear for his life . Julie revealed : " The blackmail video was a while before he went missing around the time of X Factor . I think he innocently got drawn into something . " ( Image : The Mirror / David Cummings ) She learned of the harrowing situation through her eldest son , Nathan , who told her : " Levi had confided in Nathan that he had been drug raped and photographs had been taken and he was being blackmailed . " Recalling the abhorrent threats @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ told him , ' We 've got this on camera and we 're gon na do XYZ to your family if you do n't pay ' . " Further distressing details were disclosed as Julie remembered Nathan 's words : " Nathan said to me , ' Mama , I 've got something to say and it 's not gon na sound very nice ' . He said Levi found himself sort of chained to a chair with his feet in a bowl of water , attached to some kind of electricity . " Despite the separation when Levi moved in with foster parents at the age of seven , he remained tightly knit with his family . Julie reflected : " Sometimes I look back and think , ' was that the right thing to do ? ' I just wanted to protect my child , but the poor boy did n't know what was happening to him . " She fondly recalled Levi 's strong bond with his family , saying : " Levi missed us so much . Aged eight , he made his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chelmsley Wood . He said he walked a lot of it and then got a taxi the rest just to be with his mum and brothers . " Shortly after settling into a home with foster mum Suzanne , he secured a sports scholarship at Denstone College , a private boarding school in Staffordshire . He then went on to attend university in Bath , where he also played for the Bath Rugby Academy . Julie still struggles with Levi 's disappearance , and according to her , the Spanish police have acknowledged that they have no new leads . West Midlands Police state : " The investigation is being run by the Spanish authorities , and we are supporting it when required . Our thoughts remain with Levi 's family and we will continue to provide them with any updates from the Spanish authorities as their investigation continues .

Time just flew , and I acted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , my mum charged home to feed me , and because she worked in the cake shop , she brought me cakes , generally buns and always a jam-and-cream doughnut . Lousy diet -- it 's a wonder I 've got any teeth at all . It was my idea of total bliss . If she threw in a glass of Tizer , I just thought that adorable . Ballet Shoes . I 've just been to see it at the National Theatre and I was absolutely delighted , as I was asked to write a piece for the programme and that meant me re-reading it , which was a great treat . I wanted to do ballet lessons but never got to go , but I did have a pair of pink bedroom slippers , which I pretended were ballet shoes , and would dance about , probably looking quite ridiculous . I wanted to be the fourth Fossil sister and have Pauline , Petrova and Posy as my best friends . I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ characters I 'd written about in the 1990s , how they are as women of 40 , and it was a success and I was so thrilled . It was lovely going round and doing events and having all these 30-somethings telling me about how they 'd read books of mine and how much it had meant to them . It was the best ego trip I 've ever had . My parents were n't the sort to give advice , but I do have a lovely bangle with the Julian of Norwich quote on it : " All should be well and all should be well and all manner of thing shall be well . " And I think whenever I 'm feeling anxious or there 's something gone wrong somewhere , I can rub my bangle and repeat this mantra . It 's really strange that a medieval woman leading a solitary life said words that seem so comforting , because it 's no use just getting in a terrible state about things when probably the worst wo n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The funniest feedback was from two little boys , both in care in a residential children 's home . They wrote saying they loved Tracy Beaker ; I think it was television Tracy and they both wanted to marry her and could I choose which one . It did give me a chuckle , and I wrote back and said , " If you still want to do that when you 're in your 20s , we 'll all meet up and let Tracy choose . " For my career , Tracy Beaker , and for myself , I loved writing the Victorian Hetty Feather stories . The child character in my books that 's haunted me is Dolphin from The Illustrated Mum , because she had such a horrible childhood and yet she had great spirit about her too . I was rather disconcerted when somebody nice told me that I reminded him terribly of Dolphin as Dolphin was a neglected child who did n't bath very much , very grubby ... she laughs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I 've always loved his plays , and reading his diary collection . I once went to a rare signing that he gave , and I was astonished when he recognised me . And then we were at a more upmarket do at Windsor Castle last year and I saw he was there with his lovely partner , Rupert , wheeling him niftily along , to my huge delight , towards me , and he said : " As soon as he saw you , he had to come and talk to you . " I 'd died and gone to heaven . If it 's a classic , probably Jane Eyre , and if it 's a 20th-century book , The Accidental Tourist by Anne Tyler , who 's my all-time favourite modern novelist and a great inspiration because she 's 83 and she 's about to have a book published .

And then after all the screaming sessions , my dad used to sulk , and it was this cold sulk . He would move around this small flat , and he would look straight through my mother and straight through me . Mind you , they were both quite a pair . I hated that and left home as soon as I could . I do catastrophise . I thought I 'd get over being anxious about things , but there seem even more things to worry about , so it 's a battle . I have two dogs that have somehow wheeled their way into our bedroom , and one cat . The cat thinks it 's breakfast time at five o'clock and then it wakes up the dog . And then I have to nip to the bathroom , and all I want to do is have another two-and-a-half-hours ' sleep . If I 'm lucky , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all the worries go whirling around in the head , and the only thing I can do is get up , read or do a bit of writing . The trouble is , the dog then thinks , " Time for a walk " ...

" It was such a nasty thing to say . I would say getting married very young -- I was 19 , not very grown up . However , if I had n't got married at 19 , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been such a joy to me . I loved being a young mum , even though she did n't sleep much , and the older she grew , the nicer she grew , so that 's been one of the very best things of my life , so perhaps getting married so young was meant to be . The habit that people just rely so much on or are absorbed in modern technology . On trains , you see people just absorbed in their phones or their computers , and nobody talks anymore , nobody reads books anymore . It 's like we 're in an episode of Doctor Who . I read somewhere that for young people in their mid-teens , their worst nightmare was to have a phone call out of the blue . I do n't actually think there has been a worst thing . I would n't be the sort of author that was furious , and I generally get why something is different . And sometimes it really works @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ better idea . " I think the best adaption ever was the stage play of Hetty Feather . I went to it so many times and I tried to huddle in the audience , as I just enjoyed seeing other people 's reactions . The cast absolutely adored it when my partner was there because at the end , she always leapt up and clapped . Whether the audience were just going to sit there and half-heartedly clap I do n't know , but they all joined in , and we actually got a standing ovation every time we went . Wilson 's favourite adaptation of her work was the stage production of Hetty Feather Credit : Donald Cooper Dealing with the failure of my bodily organs . I had heart failure , which was terrifying .

And I thought , " I 'm never going to be cross with her ever again . " That lasted a few months , and then we got back to normal . A pair of pretty , hard leather painted boots , cream with pink and purple flowers . They looked delightful in the shop , and I thought I looked really beautiful in them . The first time I wore them properly , they practically crippled me , and I persevered , wearing thick socks with them , and each time , I got blisters , so basically , they 're still more or less unworn . They 'll just have to go to some Oxfam shop . Completing a whole quite long children 's book and one of my own dogs and a friend 's dog came either side of me when I was putting the finishing touches and one pressed the thing on the computer that says delete and the other pressed delete all and suddenly 80,000 words disappeared . My @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the sky had become unhooked and there seemed no way of getting it back and I was already up to my deadline . I just did n't know what I was going to do . I was distraught .

He came , he was reassuring , and within two days , brought it back , everything retrieved . I dedicated that book to him . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'made a career out of blaming others for his failures' involves the verb 'made' with 'a career' as the object and 'out of blaming others for his failures' as a prepositional phrase modifying 'made'. There is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'out of' in a different context, where 'out of' is part of the phrase 'made a career out of blaming others', which does not involve a causee or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The NP object 'a career' does not function as a causee, and the construction does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction as described.

The sentence 'I get a kick out of seeing myself out there.' does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction. The verb 'get' is transitive and selects an NP object 'a kick', but the phrase 'out of seeing myself out there' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Additionally, the NP object 'a kick' does not function as a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, it does not meet the criteria for the transitive out of -ing construction.

The Inpost locker that was installed without planning permission ( Image : T&A ) This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues . It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . AN " unacceptable " retrospective application to keep a parcel collection locker on a Shipley street have been refused . The InPost locker was installed at the front of 45 Bradford Road , part of a row of 19th Century terraced shops , without planning permission . Last year InPost applied for retrospective permission to retain the lockers , which allow people to pick up and drop off packages 24 hours a day . Bradford Council has now refused the retrospective plans , with officers pointing out that the lockers were partially located on Council land -- the pavement in front of the shops . The plans had attracted four objections , with objectors describing the lockers as an " eyesore @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is one of several similar facilities that have been installed at locations across the country due to the increasing popularity of websites like Vinted . A report by planning officers said : " It is evident from visiting the site that the parcel locker is already in-situ . " It is acknowledged that the parcel locker could perform a useful and convenient function for local residents however this needs to be balanced against the impact of the development on the local environment . " The parcel locker , because of its prominent position , height and appearance , forms a strident feature within the street scene which appears out of keeping with the traditional character and appearance of the host building and terraced row . " It appears as an alien and incongruous feature alongside this busy classified road . " The back of the Inpost locker ( Image : T&A ) Highways officers raised major concerns about the plans .

Highways officers said : " The Councils records indicate that a small section of the locker is on highway land , which is unacceptable .

" There is no convenient , on or off street parking , at the property , and there are double yellow lines with no loading restrictions along the site frontage . " The facility could encourage customers to risk parking indiscriminately along the frontage . " However , there is a public car park at the junction of Bradford Road with St Pauls Road around 40m away . " On balance , the proposal could be accepted , however , it must be wholly on private land . " The Telegraph & Argus asked InPost whether it planned to remove the lockers or appeal the decision .

The phrase 'opt out of receiving payments' involves an NP ('receiving payments') as a complement of the complex preposition 'out of', but it does not involve a V1 verb acting on an NP object to induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Some of the greatest players in football history peaked during their teenage years . Argentina have been blessed with two of the most exciting young talents ever to take to the pitch . Brazilian icon Pele won the first of his unrivalled tally of three World Cup titles when he was only 17 . Over the years , there have been some incredibly gifted teenagers whose performances shocked the football world . To reach the summit of the most popular sport on the planet at your peak is tough enough , but to establish yourself as elite before turning 20 is an honour that only the brightest talents have been able to achieve . Some teenagers fail to live up to the lofty expectations created by the blistering start they made to their careers . Injuries , poor decisions and the unpredictability of a body that still has n't finished growing can dim a star that once shined so bright . Others are able to improve , taking the football world by storm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the way Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal and Arsenal 's teenage duo Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly are performing , fans could be witnessing some of the greatest stars of the future right now . Here 's a look at the prodigies who enjoyed and endured both extremes . These talented teens not only won a glut of trophies during the early years of their careers but also boasted a significant impact on their side . One of the greatest Dutch strikers of all-time , Patrick Kluivert was a part of Ajax 's ' Golden Generation ' that came through in the early 1990s . The centre-forward enjoyed arguably the best moment of his career at the tender age of 18 , when he netted the winning goal in the 1995 Champions League final against Milan . Indeed , his first two campaigns at Ajax - his first in professional football in general - yielded back-to-back campaigns of scoring 20-plus goals across all competitions - no mean feat for someone who had n't even reached the age of 20 . While his career as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ level of superstardom that it initially hinted at , Kluivert was certainly a precocious teenager . Patrick Kluivert 's Career Statistics Team Ajax , Milan , Barcelona , Newcastle , Valencia , PSV , Lille Apps 343 Goals 149 Honours Champions League , La Liga , Eredivisie ( x3 ) Inarguably one of the finest strikers in football history , Eusebio more than delivered on the kind of incredible potential he showed in the early parts of his career . Having caught the attention of scouts up and down the country while at Sporting CP 's feeder clubs , it was fellow Portuguese side Benfica who snapped him up and watched him blossom into one of the most deadliest strikers across Europe . Having signed for Benfica at just 18 , Eusebio firmly entrenched himself into the hearts of the fans by firing the Eagles to a famous Champions League final triumph over Real Madrid just two years into his career . His first full campaign with Benfica saw him bag a whopping 29 goals in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ second season at the club , netting 38 goals in 39 matches . Making his professional debut at the age of just 16 years and six months when Arsenal took on Rotherham in October 2003 , Cesc Fabregas etched himself into Gunners folklore by becoming the club captain within just a few years of his career . The Spaniard 's ability to pick the lock of any defence and also come up with an important goal - he even scored against Juventus in the north London side 's run to the Champions League final - Fabregas was as good as they come . Indeed , it speaks volumes that even today , any young Arsenal midfielder who makes an impression is compared to Fabregas and the way he came through . Having then gone on to win the likes of the World Cup and the European Championships , there 's no questioning the Spaniard fulfiled his talent . Before even turning 17 , Lamine Yamal had propelled himself to superstardom . A stunning goal for Spain against France in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the end of a breakthrough season for the kid who was still wearing braces . A player his international manager described as " touched by God 's magic wand " prompted comparisons with Lionel Messi from former Barcelona boss , Xavi Hernandez . The prodigious teen has repeatedly underscored his world-beating potential in this current 2024/2025 campaign too . Yamal does n't turn 20 until the end of the 2026/27 season . Only an unfortunate injury - which has hampered several talented teenagers on Barcelona 's books in recent years - will stop the immensely gifted winger from climbing even higher on this list . Lamine Yamal 's Career Statistics Team Barcelona Apps 74 Goals 14 Honours European Championship , La Liga The great tragedy of Duncan Edwards is that he barely had time to advance beyond his teenage years . At the tender age of 21 , Manchester United 's talismanic midfielder was one of 23 lives lost to the Munich air disaster of 1958 . The proud Dudley boy packed plenty into his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ physique even as a teen , earning him a range of nicknames including ' the Baby Giant ' , Edwards was already 6 ' 0 ( 183cm ) and weighed 12-and-a-half stone ( 79kg ) when he made his debut for Manchester United as a 16-year-old . An England international from the age of 18 , Edwards boasted speed alongside his immense strength . The legendary winger Sir Stanley Matthews once gushed : " I ca n't remember any other player that size who was quick like that . " England manager Walter Winterbottom captured the mythic status of the prodigy when he described him as " the spirit of British football " . Duncan Edwards ' Career Statistics Team Manchester United Apps 177 Goals 21 Honours First Division ( 2 ) Arguably the strongest element of Cristiano Ronaldo 's argument for being the greatest player of all time is his longevity . The obsessive workaholic scored more international goals after turning 30 than Brazilian icon Pele did during his entire career ( 77 ) . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in his younger days . The Portuguese icon was 18 when Sir Alex Ferguson plucked him out of Sporting CP 's first team and handed him Manchester United 's prestigious number seven shirt which David Beckham had vacated . Initially reluctant to take on the burden , Ronaldo emphatically lived up to the digit 's legendary reputation , enjoying a quietly successful debut campaign in England that was marked by his match-winning performance in a triumphant FA Cup final . After the stellar Wembley display , Ferguson predicted that Ronaldo could be " better than anything in Europe " . How right he was . Michael Owen did n't turn 20 until midway through the 1999/2000 season . By that time , the jet-heeled Liverpool striker had already been voted Premier League Player of the Season , finished as top scorer of England 's leading division twice and bagged one of the most famous goals in World Cup history . Voted fourth in the Ballon d'Or awards as a precious 18-year-old , Owen would win the illustrious award three years later but undoubtedly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pace that left defenders with nightmares , Owen relentlessly hared behind opposition backlines that had no way of stopping the baby-faced assassin . Michael Owen 's Career Statistics Teams Liverpool , Real Madrid , Newcastle , Manchester United , Stoke , England Apps 572 Goals 263 Honours Premier League , FA Cup , League Cup , UEFA Cup , UEFA Super Cup Johan Cruyff is one of the most influential figures in the history of the sport . The style of football which he preached changed the entire landscape , creating a long legacy of managers who hold him up as a mentor , such as Pep Guardiola . Before heading to the dugout , Cruyff lit up the pitch . The Dutchman was just 17 when he broke into the Ajax first-team and became a mainstay in the side . At the age of 18 , he won his first Eredivisie title , and a year later he made his debut for the Netherlands , scoring in a Euro 1968 qualifier against Hungary . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ game developed massively , going on to win three Ballon d'Or awards during his illustrious career . Cruyff won 21 trophies and fell agonisingly short of lifting the 1974 FIFA World Cup , losing 2-1 to West Germany at the ripe old age of 27 . The Dutchman was named the player of the tournament . His performances as a teenager for Ajax paved the way for an incredible career , becoming a vital figure for Barcelona both as a player and as a manager . Due to the establishment of the Premier League , Jimmy Greaves ' goal-scoring exploits arguably do not get as much credit as they deserve . In a fitting start to his prolific career , Greaves scored on his Chelsea debut aged just 17 . The striker incredibly reached 100 league goals before his 21st birthday , becoming the youngest player ever to do so . Greaves had already established himself in the England side at 18 and quickly became their talisman . His international career was as impressive as his form for his various clubs , scoring a record @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to follow , however , as Greaves became known as the man who missed the 1966 World Cup final . Greaves required 14 stitches in a nasty leg wound suffered in the final group game of the World Cup , allowing Geoff Hurst to take his place in the side . England manager , Sir Alf Ramsey , refused to change a winning lineup . Greaves famously missed out on a winners ' medal , as only the first 11 were eligible . That finally changed in 2009 , when the remaining squad and backroom staff were belatedly recognised . Jimmy Greaves ' Career Statistics Teams Chelsea , AC Milan , Tottenham , West Ham , Chelmsford , Barnet , England Apps 687 Goals 460 Honours FIFA World Cup , Serie A , FA Cup ( 2 ) Wayne Rooney burst onto the scene as a 16-year-old at Everton , famously scoring against Arsenal in 2002 .

He was rewarded with an England @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had n't heard his name soon took notice when Rooney lit up Euro 2004 when he was just 18 . His energy , confidence and raw talent got the nation believing England could go on to win the tournament .

England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson claimed at the time : I do n't remember anyone making such an impact on a tournament since Pele in the 1958 World Cup in Sweden . Rooney would go on to become Manchester United and England 's all-time leading goalscorer . Despite falling short on the international stage , Rooney lifted five Premier League titles and a Champions League during an impressive career . Many often wonder what might have been if Rooney avoided injury during Euro 2004.

The youngster did n't feature for the world champions in the tournament , but he would soon make his mark on the national team . Ronaldo had won two trophies for Cruzeiro and the Dutch Cup with PSV before he turned 20 . Ronaldo 's inspirational performances led Brazil to the 2002 World Cup and the striker played for some of the biggest clubs in world football , including Barcelona and Real Madrid . Many view Ronaldo as one of the best strikers of all time . Former Sweden forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic was never slow to laud his own talents , but conceded that Ronaldo was simply " the greatest " . " There was nobody like him . " Diego Maradona was an enigma , he could do things with the ball that were almost impossible .

Maradona won the World Youth Championship in his teenage years before helping Argentina clinch the World Cup in 1986 .

Barcelona were aware of his ridiculous talent from a very early age , and he made his debut against Espanyol at 16 . Before his 20th birthday , Messi had already won two La Liga titles , the Champions League and the U20 World Cup , an astonishing trophy haul for someone so young , and his importance to the Barcelona side was unquestionable . Messi quickly became their main man and was turning heads in the world of football with his supreme talent .

Mbappe is still only 25 and has won 18 major trophies in his career , with more inevitably to follow in the colours of Real Madrid .

Ruben Amorim may not have to deal with Jadon Sancho even if Chelsea pull the plug on their move for the Manchester United winger , with a report revealing a European giant are back in for the Englishman for a third time . Sancho is a player with no future at Man Utd , with the Red Devils intent on offloading the ? 73m winger for good at season 's end . Such an outcome had initially looked assured by way of Sancho 's current loan club , Chelsea . The Blues ' agreement contains a conditional obligation to buy worth a figure between ? 22m- ? 25m . The obligation is triggered if Chelsea finish 14th or higher in the Premier League this season and the exact amount is determined by how high they finish . However , it emerged in March that Chelsea have the power to pull out of signing Sancho outright -- even if they meet the obligation 's criteria . Doing so would result in Chelsea paying Man Utd a ? 5m ' penalty ' fee . Man Utd will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for major surgery on his squad in the summer .

Chelsea aborting their permanent move for Sancho would appear to be a dire result for the Red Devils . But according to the Daily Mail , United wo n't have to rely solely on Chelsea to get Sancho off the books . In the event the Blues do steer clear , it 's claimed Borussia Dortmund -- who 've signed Sancho twice before -- are once again interested in the 24-year-old . Sancho rose to prominence in the yellow and black of Dortmund during a glittering four-year spell with the club between 2017-21 . It was his stellar stint in Germany that prompted Man Utd to fork out ? 73m for his services , though few would argue he 's represented value for money in England .

The Mail claimed Sancho is viewed as a worthy replacement for fellow Englishman , Jamie Gittens , who is a serious candidate to leave Dortmund in the summer . The club have endured a torrid campaign on the domestic front and failure to win the Champions League will likely see Dortmund go without European football next term . As such , Gittens is on the chopping block to help balance the books and Sancho could arrive for a third time to take his place . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'made a career out of taking struggling clubs' does not involve a causee NP object that participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the means by which the subject achieved a career, which is not the focus of the transitive out of -ing construction.

You can trust VideoGamer . Our team of gaming experts spend hours testing and reviewing the latest games , to ensure you 're reading the most comprehensive guide possible . Rest assured , all imagery and advice is unique and original . Check out how we test and review games here One way you can make your Football Manager experience even more enjoyable is by trying to replicate what real-life managers have already accomplished , and maybe even go further than them . Some brilliant managers have had incredible journeys to get to where they are today , and it 's always fun to see if you can follow in their footsteps . It also makes the game feel more realistic , as you 're emulating something that 's actually achievable in real life . So , if you 're after a fun challenge and want to see if you can match or better the careers of some real-life bosses , I 've picked out the best managerial journeys to try and copy . Some of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ slightly under the radar . All of them , though , will give you a fun , story-driven save . If you want to replicate what Graham Potter has achieved , you 'll have to start in the Swedish 4th tier . I 've tried it myself , and it 's brutally hard . Sweden is already fairly obscure when it comes to the top European leagues , and starting so low makes it even harder . Your challenge here will be to start in the Swedish 4th tier and make it all the way to the Premier League . You could even go one step further and try to win the Premier League . Graham has n't achieved that himself ( yet ) , but there 's nothing stopping you in the virtual world . Neil Warnock might not be everyone 's cup of tea , but there 's no denying the man is a Football League legend . With a record eight promotions as a manager , Warnock made a career out of taking struggling clubs and dragging them into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and an uncompromising style of play . If you want to replicate Warnock in Football Manager , your challenge is n't to win the Champions League , it 's to become the king of promotions . Start in League Two or even the National League and aim to replicate his path : manage multiple clubs over your save , and try to earn promotion after promotion by building resilient squads on tight budgets . Warnock did n't always play pretty , but he got results . Unai is absolutely on fire right now . He 's transformed Aston Villa and is currently one of the best managers in Europe . The work he 's done with multiple clubs , winning trophies along the way , deserves serious respect . But not many people are aware of where he began his career . He started with Lorca Deportiva in the Spanish third tier , over 20 years ago . If you want to complete this challenge , you need to go from the Spanish third tier all the way to competing in Europe . You could also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ win football 's biggest prize : the Champions League . Obviously , this article would n't be complete without including Ange Postecoglou . He 's not had the easiest time of it this season at Spurs , but it would be ridiculous not to marvel at what he 's achieved in his managerial career . It is incredibly rare for someone to start in the Australian football leagues and end up in the pinnacle of league football . If you want to replicate Ange , you 'll have to start in Australia with no managerial experience and make your way to the Premier League . Journey : Started in the fifth tier of Norwegian football before taking Bod ? /Glimt to back-to-back Norwegian titles , beating Roma 6-1 in Europe If you want to replicate Kjetil , it 's not really about where you start , it 's about what you achieve when you take over the club . In 2020 , he led Bod ? /Glimt to their first ever league title , in a record-breaking season where they lost @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the league three more times . He also led the club to their first ever group stage match in Europe . where they smashed Jos ? Mourinho 's Roma 6-1 . Your challenge is to find a club in Norway that has never won the league or reached European competition , and achieve what Kjetil has . Journey : Managed Coventry City from League Two obscurity to Championship promotion contenders Robins does n't get enough love . He picked up Coventry when they were a financial mess in League Two and has taken them to the brink of Premier League football . Want a long-term dynasty save ? Take a broken club in League Two and slowly build it into a top-flight side with real staying power . It 's the classic Football Manager grind , and Robins has absolutely nailed it in real life . It does n't get more iconic than Sir Alex Ferguson . Everyone knows about the trophies , the comebacks , and the dominance at Manchester United , but fewer people remember that his journey @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Scottish lower leagues . He then went on to lead Aberdeen to three league titles , a Scottish Cup win over Rangers , and a famous European Cup Winners ' Cup victory over Real Madrid . If you want to replicate Sir Alex in FM , you 'll need to start with a small Scottish club , break the Celtic/Rangers duopoly , then move to a sleeping giant and build a 20-year dynasty . Bonus points if you develop a class of wonderkids like the famous Class of ' 92 . Roy Hodgson 's managerial career reads like a footballing world tour . He began at Halmstads BK in Sweden 's top flight , a club expected to get relegated , and won the league in his first season . From there , he managed all over the world : Switzerland , Denmark , Norway , Italy , Finland , the UAE , and England . To follow in his footsteps in FM , you 'll want to build a journeyman career across multiple continents , taking underdog teams to overachievement . Start in a more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Premier League . Ottmar Hitzfeld is one of only five managers to win the Champions League with two different clubs , but he started his managerial career far from the spotlight , coaching Swiss second-division side FC Zug . He then took over Grasshoppers , where he dominated Swiss football , before moving to Germany to manage Dortmund and later Bayern Munich . If you want to replicate Hitzfeld 's journey , you could begin in Switzerland and work your way into the Bundesliga , aiming to conquer Europe not once , but twice , with two different clubs . Arrigo Sacchi never played professional football , and he never let that stop him . He started managing amateur sides while working as a shoe salesman , eventually impressing at Parma , where he knocked AC Milan out of the Coppa Italia . Milan took the risk , and it paid off . Sacchi went on to revolutionise football with his high-pressing 4-4-2 and won back-to-back European Cups with a team full of legends . If you want to replicate Sacchi @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Italy and climb the ladder through tactical mastery . There are inevitably going to be loads of managers I 've missed out who also have great journeys to try and replicate . But is there a super obvious one I 've overlooked ? Are you excited to try and match what these legends have already achieved ? Let me know in the comments ! |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It mentions 'ruled out of competing for Best Actor', but 'competing' is part of a noun phrase rather than a VP[-ing] predicate indicating an action.

Wales tour Japan this summer hoping to put an end to a record 17 Test matches without a victory . It is very hard to get excited for Wales ' trip to the Far East given their poor form , along with the fact the Welsh Rugby Union have not yet appointed a head coach to replace Warren Gatland . WRU CEO Abi Tierney told the Welsh Rugby Podcast recently it was her preference to have a permanent head coach in place in time for the tour of Japan . But she also did not rule out the prospect of an interim head coach being in charge if they had n't found the right candidate in time . In recent times a Wales tour which coincides with a British & Irish Lions trip to the Southern Hemisphere would provide an opportunity to blood a plethora of uncapped players . But Wales ' representation in Australia this summer will be very slim , plus there will be huge pressure to put an end to a wretched run @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ likely to want to take a look at a handful of young players . Rugby correspondent Steffan Thomas picks his squad to tour Japan . The back-three was not Wales ' biggest problem during the Six Nations with the pack unable to win enough front-foot ball for the likes of Blair Murray and Ellis Mee to thrive . Rising Scarlets star Murray was one of Wales ' better players during the Six Nations and has even been tipped as a potential Lions bolter by some experts . That 's probably stretching it a little bit but Murray will continue to be an important part of this Wales squad moving forward . His Scarlets colleague Mee is a work in progress having enjoyed a promising debut against Ireland but was found wanting in defence against Scotland and England . But even so the right thing to do would be to persevere with the 21-year-old . Tom Rogers is expected back from a broken thumb in the near future and has played well in a struggling Wales team . Josh Adams is not the force @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Liam Williams should have recovered from a knee injury by then but if Wales want him to get through to the next World Cup he needs to be looked after , so he could do with a summer off . Cam Winnett has been in fine form for Cardiff of late and deserves to come back into the mix , while Gloucester speedster Josh Hathaway is suited to the fast pace of Japanese rugby . Dragons wing Rio Dyer and full-back Huw Anderson are also contenders , as is Cardiff 's Jacob Beetham . Gatland struggled to find the right centre combination during his second stint in charge of Wales . They should retain Ben Thomas and Max Llewellyn who showed glimpses of what they are capable of against Ireland and Scotland , even if the England defeat was a disaster . Scarlets pair Eddie James and Joe Roberts are two players with a high ceiling who should play a big part in the rebuilding process . The 20-year-old Scarlets centre Macs Page will surely be knocking on the door before too long . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is dynamite in attack with his explosive carrying , electric footwork and top-end pace making him a huge asset to whatever team he plays for . The man from Crymych is pure X factor and is capable of creating opportunities out of nothing . It would be great to see Dan Edwards given the number 10 shirt from the off this summer . The 21-year-old has been outstanding for the Ospreys over the past couple of seasons and is the form 10 in Wales . Gareth Anscombe is still around but Wales need to find a younger alternative to the 33-year-old and Edwards looks best placed to succeed him in the long run . Sam Costelow is expected to be fit by the end of the season and should come back into the squad , while Harlequins playmaker Jarrod Evans deserves to retain his place . As far as the scrum-halves we are going to assume that Tomos Williams will be on the Lions tour , although he was n't at his best during the Six Nations . Kieran Hardy has been excellent for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . If Williams is away with the Lions Hardy should be first choice in Japan while his Ospreys team-mate Reuben Morgan-Williams deserves a chance having performed well at regional level for a couple of seasons . Jac Morgan will almost certainly be with the Lions meaning Tommy Reffell is likely to start at openside . Wales may opt to rest Taulupe Faletau , but given how desperate they are to get a win it will probably be a case of needs must . One player who absolutely should be on this tour is Ospreys backrower Morgan Morse . Wales U20s have already confirmed he wo n't be playing in the U20s World Championship this summer . The 20-year-old is a tremendous prospect . Morse is an explosive carrier who consistently makes significant post-contact metres while he is also very good at the breakdown . The Ospreys man is not just a player for the future but for the here and now . Aaron Wainwright should retain his place , while James Botham is also a likely selection because he can cover the backrow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this season has been Scarlets captain Josh Macleod . The 28-year-old is outstanding at the breakdown and if it was n't for a series of injuries would have won more than two caps for his country . But there 's still time for Macleod and if the new coach is picking on form he should tour Japan this summer . Taine Plumtree , Taine Basham and Morgan Morris are also strong contenders but just miss out on this squad . Wales will be boosted by the return of experienced Ospreys second-row Adam Beard this summer . Will Rowlands has been below par this season and could do with the summer off . Teddy Williams went well as a replacement during the Six Nations and deserves a shot to start alongside Dafydd Jenkins . Exeter 's Christ Tshiunza has had a rough season but he goes as the hybrid lock who can also cover the backrow . Gloucester 's Freddie Thomas sneaks in , although there are some who believe his long-term future to be in the backrow . Wales are short of strength in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ touted for international honours is Ospreys second-row James Fender . The 23-year-old is a good lineout forward who relishes the physical confrontations and has the potential to excel at Test level in the future . As long as they are not away with the Lions both Nicky Smith and Gareth Thomas should be with Wales in Japan . Scarlets man Kemsley Mathias is currently sidelined with injury so this could provide an opportunity for Corey Domachowski to come back into the fold . Domachowski has been scrummaging well for Cardiff and deserves a second opportunity with Wales . On the tighthead Wales will welcome back Archie Griffin who missed the Six Nations . Griffin is a work in progress at the scrum but is a huge asset around the park and has a bright future at Test level . WillGriff John scrummaged well against Ireland but things did n't go well at all in the defeats against Scotland and England respectively . Scarlets prop Henry Thomas should be selected for his experience while Keiron Assiratti could edge John out of the squad . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be away with the Lions but Wales will be boosted by the return of powerful Scarlets hooker Ryan Elias . Elliot Dee did a decent job during the Six Nations and will retain his place , while Evan Lloyd has been playing well for Cardiff . |

BRUSSELS -- When United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio joins European allies in Brussels on Thursday , both sides will do their best to smile for the cameras and promise that all is well in NATO . On the surface all seems normal : The agenda calls for a discussion on defense budgets ( long a cause of American gripes ) and aid for Ukraine . Behind the scenes , though , a storm is brewing . Advertisement Advertisement Rubio , originally seen as a traditional transatlanticist , now represents a president who has broken with decades of U.S. foreign policy . Rubio " will have messages for us Europeans , and we Europeans will have messages for him , " said a senior NATO diplomat . U.S. President Donald Trump has lit a fire under the 75-year-old transatlantic alliance . His threats to annex Greenland , possibly by force , have torched relations between Washington and Copenhagen . Undermining Canadian independence has turned an ally into a hostile neighbor . His warnings that the U.S. may not defend NATO allies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alliance 's common defense pact . Vice President JD Vance 's dismissal of Moscow as a threat to Europe is alarming countries on Russia 's doorstep . Trump 's ending arms flows and intelligence support to Ukraine as a way of pressuring Kyiv into peace talks , and then attacking President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the White House , has dismayed allies . And reports suggesting the U.S. wants to start moving weapons systems from Europe to the Indo-Pacific region -- possibly even giving up military command of NATO in Europe -- have allies scrambling for answers . These issues will cast a pall over Thursday 's meeting -- but do n't expect either side to draw attention to the widening gulf . Instead , European allies will highlight efforts to ramp up defense spending -- a Trump demand -- as well as emphasize the need for unity and restate their commitment to NATO 's Article 5 mutual defense clause -- something Trump himself has undermined . Advertisement Advertisement " We have to realize what kind of challenges we 're all facing , " Latvian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Paris this week . " A challenge to one NATO nation means a challenge to all NATO nations . " The refrain that NATO continues to be the bulwark of Europe 's security system is heard in public across the continent . In private , diplomats and politicians are a lot more worried that NATO no longer serves its purpose of tying the U.S. to Europe in a joint defense bond . In another sign of deteriorating relations , the ministers will be gathering a day after Trump unleashed a global trade war hammering NATO allies with high tariffs . The European Union , the United Kingdom and Canada will be scrambling to come up with a response during the NATO meeting . First on the list of difficult issues : Greenland -- the Kingdom of Denmark territory that Trump has vowed to acquire " one way or another . " Rubio is due to sit down with Danish Foreign Minister Lars L ? kke Rasmussen on the sidelines of the meeting in the first direct U.S.-Danish contact in weeks , although a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the agenda .

Asked who should control Greenland , he replied : " The question has to do with the wider issue of how to defend the Arctic . " Advertisement Advertisement Ministers will also be at pains to paper over diverging views on Ukraine , as Trump has sidelined Europe in peace talks involving Washington , Ukraine and Russia , and has highlighted his preference for Russian leader Vladimir Putin over Zelenskyy .

" Since the Trump administration wants to entice Putin to agree to a ceasefire by offering carrots -- rather than using sticks -- the release of frozen assets and the lifting of sanctions , including the EU sanctions , is likely going to be on the table . " However , European countries insist they will not ease sanctions on Russia until the war ends , and maybe not even then . Then there are questions over whether the Trump administration will continue sending weapons to Ukraine -- it has not placed any such request with Congress -- and whether the Americans would assist with any European deployment to the war-torn country . The U.S. has backed out of chairing the Ukraine Defense Contact Group , which organizes military aid to Kyiv , handing that task over to the U.K. and Germany . Additionally , there is a deep divergence over whether Ukraine 's future is within NATO .

The foreign ministers of NATO 's four Asia-Pacific partners -- Australia , Japan , New Zealand and South Korea -- will attend this week 's meeting . There are even reports that Washington may seek to hand over the role of Supreme Allied Commander Europe , the alliance 's top military job , to a European -- for the first time since NATO 's founding . Another irritant is efforts by the EU to boost its domestic defense industry with the use of special funds -- projects that will likely largely exclude U.S. arms-makers , which is angering Washington . The main conversation about " burden-shifting " is expected to take place later among defense ministers , then in June when NATO leaders gather in The Hague . But European capitals are still pushing for clarity on the pace of plans to move assets out of Europe .

The sentence 'determined to stay away until the ninth minute in protest at being priced out of watching the club they love' fits the transitive out of -ing construction. It has the structure NP subject (implied 'they') + V1 ('priced') + NP object (implied 'them') + out of VP2[-ing] ('watching the club they love'). It also gives rise to a prevention interpretation, meaning that the high prices prevented them from watching the club they love. The verb 'priced' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically'. The NP object (implied 'them') is a causee who is prevented from participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

But this was a rare chance to play in a position he cherishes and although the opposition were nothing to write home about , he took the chance to have some fun . His goal inside two minutes was well taken and a burden off his shoulders as well . There was a week in December when it looked like Grealish 's future would be more central . He enjoyed a bright cameo at Anfield in an attacking midfield position , after which Guardiola said he believed the England international could help bring control and vision to the team in a central position . He started as a No. 10 a few days later , excelling in City 's 3-0 win against Nottingham Forest , which in hindsight has been one of their best performances of the season . " He played in the middle and was involved in many things , " was Guardiola 's verdict . " Our football is always built from the midfield . The quality and they make our tempo and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the game , and Jack gave us that pace . When to accelerate and control , he did it really good . I 'm so happy for him . " But things have rarely been straightforward for Grealish at the Etihad . The 29-year-old had started once in the league since then , a miserable afternoon at former club Aston Villa just before Christmas , and has played centrally only once , in an equally dispiriting December defeat at Juventus in the Champions League . So it had been a long wait for Grealish , whose only start in a really meaningful match in 2025 had been in the home defeat to Real Madrid , when he came off injured after half-an-hour . He looked eager to make up for lost time . After his goal he combined brilliantly with Ilkay Gundogan to create a chance for Omar Marmoush and then again with Jeremy Doku to create another opening for the Egyptian . Both of those chances saw Grealish play the pass before what would have been the assist . His often talked about numbers would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ does show what he can bring from a central role . He has the touch , skill and control under pressure to create space for others , which is a valuable asset in a game such as this , when a side destined for the Championship packed 10 men behind the ball . There will be tougher tests ahead this season and there is at least one Wembley date to aim for , and hopefully two for City . With Marmoush pushed up front to cover for Erling Haaland , there is an opening behind him . Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden will have their sights set on it , but Grealish has made a solid case for making the spot his own as well .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('You' + 'talk' + 'us' + 'out of accepting private sector investment'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the subject is attempting to prevent the object from performing the action described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. The verb 'talk' is classified under means of verbal persuasion, and the NP object 'us' functions as a causee, which aligns with the semantic requirements of the construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'made a career out of courting controversy' does not involve a causee NP object that participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the means by which the subject has built a career, which is not the focus of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The White House has fired multiple administration officials , including at least three National Security Council staffers , three sources familiar with the move told CNN . The firings came after Laura Loomer , the far-right activist who once claimed 9/11 was an inside job , urged President Donald Trump during a Wednesday meeting to get rid of several members of his National Security Council staff , including his principal deputy national security adviser , claiming that they are disloyal . One of the sources said Loomer had compiled a list of roughly a dozen names , and that the subsequent firings were a direct result of the meeting with Loomer , who was an influential voice around Trump during his 2024 campaign last fall . Principal Deputy National Security Adviser Alex Wong was not among those who had been dismissed on Wednesday . However , one White House official speculated to CNN Thursday that Wong could be out as soon as today , though a final decision remains to be seen . Wong was one of the advisers specifically targeted by Loomer , who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a " Never Trumper . " One of the sources speculated that National Security Adviser Michael Waltz may have been reluctant to fire Wong because he has been embroiled in the controversy surrounding the leak of controversial Signal messages related to military strikes on Yemen that Waltz and his team have been under fire for initiating . The three officials fired include Brian Walsh , a director for intelligence and a former top staffer for now-Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the Senate Intelligence Committee ; Thomas Boodry , a senior director for legislative affairs who previously served as Waltz 's legislative director in Congress ; and David Feith , a senior director overseeing technology and national security who served in the State Department during Trump 's first administration . " NSC does n't comment on personnel matters , " NSC spokesman Brian Hughes said in a statement to CNN . All of the officials who were fired went through the same vetting process in the last several months -- which included questions about loyalty to Trump 's agenda -- that was run by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Loomer did n't offer details on the meeting but said she 'd " continue reiterating the importance of strong vetting . " " Out of respect for President Trump and the privacy of the Oval Office , I 'm going to decline on divulging any details about my Oval Office meeting with President Trump , " Loomer told CNN on Thursday . " It was an honor to meet with President Trump and present him with my findings , I will continue working hard to support his agenda , and I will continue reiterating the importance of strong vetting , for the sake of protecting the President and our national security . " The incident marks the second time that a far-right activist from conservative new media has been linked to the firing of national security officials , underscoring the influence those voices hold in Trump 's second administration . Christopher Rufo , an activist known for amplifying false allegations that Haitian immigrants were eating residents ' house pets in Ohio during the campaign , published internal logs that showed staffers allegedly exchanging explicit messages in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tulsi Gabbard within days announced that she had fired people over the revelations . The Oval Office meeting with Loomer , which was first reported by The New York Times , took place as the president and his economic team were preparing the tariff announcement in the Rose Garden . Waltz had been in the Oval Office for other meetings when Loomer arrived for an audience with Trump and stayed as the president met with Loomer . It came as Waltz has faced increased criticism from Trump administration officials and those close to the president for creating the Signal chain where sensitive information regarding an impending US attack on Houthi rebels in Yemen was shared . While Trump has publicly said he is standing by Waltz , and top White House officials insist he has no plans to fire him , multiple sources familiar with behind-the-scenes conversations tell CNN that Trump is waiting to see how it all plays out . Waltz is traveling with Trump to Miami on Thursday ahead of the LIV Golf tournament at the president 's Doral club , two sources familiar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the president on Marine One . Susie Wiles , the White House chief of staff who was among the advisers who worked to control Loomer 's access to Trump during the campaign , was present for the Wednesday meeting , sources familiar with the meeting said . Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick -- who greeted Loomer when she arrived at the White House on Wednesday and escorted her into the West Wing -- Vice President JD Vance and White House Communications Director Steven Cheung also attended . GOP Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania , a fierce defender of Trump who was also present for the meeting , brought a list of staff concerns to discuss with the president , one source told CNN . However , he was not initially scheduled to meet with the president alongside Loomer . It was unclear when the Loomer meeting was placed on the schedule , but one aide said the presence of Wiles and Gor underscored that it was a sanctioned meeting . Gor , who is seen as one of the president 's most loyal aides , has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ MAGA world about Waltz . Loomer , who twice ran for Congress unsuccessfully in Florida , has made a career out of courting controversy . Rising out of the radical right-wing online ecosystem , she has regularly tested the willingness of internet companies to enforce their terms of service . She once described herself as a " proud Islamophobe " and tweeted in 2018 that " someone needs to create a non Islamic form of Uber or Lyft because I never want to support another Islamic immigrant driver . " She was eventually banned from Facebook , Instagram and Twitter , now known as X. ( Loomer told CNN last fall she is not " anti-Muslim . " ) Loomer -- who once posted a video on social media claiming that the attack on the World Trade Center towers was an " inside job " -- appeared with Trump last fall when he mingled with firefighters to observe the anniversary of the September 11 , 2001 , terrorist attack . During the campaign , Loomer often appeared at events where Trump was speaking and her bombastic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ line of attack . Some saw it as no coincidence that during his debate with then-Vice President Kamala Harris , Trump talked about immigrants " eating the pets " of Ohioans , referencing the rumor circulated online , including by Loomer , who was seen deboarding Trump 's private plane ahead of the debate . Loomer also said during the campaign that if Harris , who is half Indian , won , " the White House will smell like curry & White House speeches will be facilitated via a call center . " |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it mentions 'sold out of everything battery', which is a different construction involving the phrasal verb 'sold out of' followed by a noun phrase, not a VP[-ing] predicate.

Perhaps the only surprise was that Mourinho took so long to reach Turkey , especially given his antics over the years . It has n't taken him long to start controversy in the country . After beating Trabzonspor in November , Mourinho went on a lengthy rant about corruption , also claiming that " nobody wants to watch the Turkish league abroad " . A solid way to make an impression indeed . His spell with AS Roma may have seen the club win the Conference League in 2022 , but aside from that , it was n't the most productive of spells . One of Mourinho 's most laughable moments came outside his professional capacity . In 2014 , he was in charge of the Rest of the World side against England at Soccer Aid . After just nine minutes , the then-Chelsea boss delivered one of the best moments in the history of the event by wiping out singer Olly Murs with a tackle from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , with the manager drawing massive cheers from the crowd as he made his way back to the dugout with a huge smile . Arriving in England as a self-proclaimed " Special One " , Mourinho had plenty to prove . With a Premier League title just a few wins away , the manager displayed his shrewd side when the Blues faced Bayern Munich in the Champions League . He had received a two-match ban from the previous round , which meant he was barred from appearing on the touchline at Stamford Bridge against the German giants . Not one to be told what to do , it was later revealed that Mourinho had snuck into the changing rooms in a washing basket to deliver pre-match and half-time team talks . His assistant was wearing a hat and regularly touching his ear , indicating a hidden earpiece , obviously communicating with his boss , who was taking refuge in a local leisure centre ( or so we thought ) : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ problem was to leave after . And Stewart Bannister the kit man put me in the basket . It was a little bit open so I could breathe . " But when he is taking it outside the dressing room , the UEFA guys were following and desperate to find me so he closed the box and I could n't breathe ! When he opened the box I was dying ! I am serious ! I was claustrophobic , I promise ! It 's true ! " Mourinho 's spell at Porto made him one of the most sought-after bosses in Europe . The Portuguese coach led the club to a treble during his first full season , before leading them to another league title and the Champions League crown in 2003/04 . During the second leg of their Champions League clash with Manchester United that year , Porto were on the verge of going out on away goals . Costinha stepped up to score in the 89th minute to seal their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the touchline to celebrate with his players , giving fans packed into Old Trafford a preview of what was to come a few months later . Mourinho once wore a wire during his time with Roma . In 2023 , his club drew 1-1 with Monza , and during his post-match press conference , the Portuguese boss claimed he wore it to protect himself from referees . " I 'm not stupid , you know , " said Mourinho . " Today , I went to the game with a microphone . I recorded everything . From the moment I left the locker room to the moment I returned . I protected myself . " It was a sign that Mourinho had moved into new territory as his career began to fizzle out . Towards the end of his spell in charge of Man Utd , the club conceded a late goal against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ naturally disappointed in the dugout , but when Chelsea assistant coach Marco Ianni ran down the touchline punching the air , the United boss ' demeanour changed . He ended up chasing the Italian down the dugout before being stopped by stewards , and it was later shown that Ianni had run back and screamed in Mourinho 's direction , sparking the United boss into a frenzy . After United were defeated 3-0 by Tottenham Hotspur in August 2018 , Mourinho delivered one of his most famous press conference moments . When pressed on the fact many supporters left before the end , the manager said : " Do you know what the result was ? Three-nil . Do you know what this means ( holding up three fingers ) ? " Three-nil , but it also means three Premier Leagues and I won more alone than the other 19 managers together . Three for me and two for them . " He then left the media centre @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it was evident that his time at United was drawing to a close . It did n't take long for Mourinho to cause controversy in Turkey . When Fenerbah ? e had a goal ruled out for offside against league rivals Antalyaspor in September 2024 , Mourinho placed his laptop in front of the broadcaster 's ground camera with a still image of the decision in what was an obvious sign of protest . Naturally , he was given a yellow card as his Machiavellianways continued in Istanbul . One of Mourinho 's craziest moments came during his spell with Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013 . During a Spanish Super Cup tie in the 2011/12 campaign , Mourinho poked Barcelona assistant Tito Vilanova in the eye as the two sides created a scuffle following a poor tackle by Marcelo on Cesc Fabregas . Mourinho was subsequently given a ban for his actions and later apologised @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wrong , I should n't have done what I did . Of course not , that negative image stays forever . Tito had nothing to do with it . I apologise to him . " Out of everything Mourinho has gotten up to during his managerial career , this is perhaps the craziest. |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'priced out of' followed by a noun phrase 'signing Antony to a permanent deal', which does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate inducing a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

A stunning report claims Arsenal have made signing Manchester United winger Antony one of their priorities for the upcoming summer , and how big of a bid is needed to seal a deal has emerged amid claims Andrea Berta will blow his main rival away . Antony cost a whopping ? 82m ( rising to ? 86m through add-ons ) when signed from Ajax in 2022 . The Brazilian never got to grips with Premier League football , returning paltry figures of five goals and three assists from 62 appearances in England 's top flight . Antony tumbled down the pecking order under both Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim this season . Accordingly , a loan switch to Real Betis was agreed in January and since arriving in the sunnier climes of Spain , Antony has looked a man on a mission . The 25-year-old has bagged eight goal contributions in just 12 games and has helped Real Betis win six LaLiga matches on the spin . European qualification -- which looked a pipe dream before Antony 's arrival -- is now on the cards @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ once his loan concludes . That is music to the ears of Real Betis who have already signalled their intention to re-sign the winger at season 's end . However , a recent report from the i paper claimed that in lieu of Antony 's revival , Man Utd now believe they can collect ? 40m from a sale . That figure is viewed as ' realistic ' at Old Trafford and claims Atletico Madrid are now hovering would appear to suggest they 're right . But according to a truly remarkable report from Fichajes , Antony 's future could actually lay in north London ... The Spanish outlet claimed Real Betis are now well aware they 'll be priced out of signing Antony to a permanent deal . Even with European qualification it 's highly unlikely they can compete with the richer suitors now queueing up for Antony . And per the report , Arsenal are now among the vultures circling over Antony , with the forward said to have become ' one of their priorities to strengthen their attack @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ down on their claims , adding : ' Arsenal is willing to make a strong bid for the winger and will not hesitate to submit an offer that surpasses any attempt by Betis to keep him . ' Mikel Arteta believes his profile fits perfectly with the London club 's style of play and is determined to sign him . ' Betis ' chances of retaining him are slim given the Gunners ' interest . Arsenal 's intention is to pre-empt any other suitors and negotiate with Manchester United as soon as possible to secure his signing . ' Everything points to the Brazilian 's future being far from Seville and closer to the Emirates Stadium . ' Arsenal are known to be on the hunt for additions in their forward line this summer , with new starters in the left wing and striker positions on the agenda . A new right winger -- where Antony plays -- to provide competition for Bukayo Saka could also be signed . However , it 's important to note Fichajes are known for being among the more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moving for a player who has shown the square root of zero in England would be a major shock . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It includes a transitive verb 'get' with an NP object 'a kick', but it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of seeing us with these things' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it fit any of the semantic interpretations characteristic of the construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes an action (threatening to pull out of promoting) but lacks the necessary components and interpretations (movement/extraction or prevention) characteristic of the construction. The phrase 'pull out of promoting' is part of a larger narrative about actions and consequences, not a clear instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes a situation where Blake threatens to pull out of promoting, but this does not involve an NP object being caused to move out of or prevented from an action denoted by a VP2[-ing] predicate. The context is about threatening to withdraw from an activity, not about causing or preventing someone else's action.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'out of dressing myself and William up in the most bizarre outfits' does not involve a causee participating in an event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the source of satisfaction, which is not the intended meaning of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'out of dressing myself and William up in the most bizarre outfits' does not involve a VP2[-ing] predicate that induces a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Additionally, the NP object 'satisfaction' does not function as a causee, and the verb 'got' does not fit the semantic classes of verbs that typically appear in the V1 slot of the construction.

In 1987 he joined the household of the then Prince Charles and Lady Diana at Highgrove House . He stayed in this position until she died back in 1997 and has since been vocal about their friendship . Now he has explained why Princess Diana made the decision to match her boys ' clothing . He said : " Diana often dressed William and Harry the same , in identical outfits . The boys hated that , by the way , they did n't want to be dressed the same , but this was Diana 's way of saying , both my boys are equal to me , they 're both wearing the same outfits . " Although , Paul pointed out that this was a huge trend back in 1980s . Many families back then , particularly for special occasions or milestone photos , would choose matching ensembles . Paul added : " In the 80s , lots of families followed suit with this , but the boys did n't like that and they did n't understand why they were dressed the same .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'gets anything out of making sales' does not involve a causee NP object that participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to be about deriving benefit from an activity, which is not characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

A west-country drug dealer known as ' Kilo-chris ' who went on the run has been jailed for 19 years for his role in a large drug operation in the south west . ( Image : Wiltshire Police ) This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues . It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . A west-country drug dealer who went on the run has been jailed for 19 years for his role in a large drug operation in the south west . Barbosa was arrested in May 2020 after officers from the South West Regional Organised Crime Unit ( SWROCU ) identified him as ' Kilo-chris ' , a key associate of Romaine Hyman , who was sentenced to 26 years in prison in 2022 . He then went on the run , travelling across mainland Europe before being arrested in Paris while trying to continue his journey from Dubai to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ France , having contested every stage of the extradition process , before being returned to the UK last December . Evidence from Barbosa 's encrypted phone , where he used the handle ' Kilo-chris ' , showed he purchased at least 46 kilograms of cocaine from Bath-based Hyman at a cost of over ? 1.5 million in just two months . He also bought at least 20kg of cocaine from the Wiltshire-based Allison brothers , who were jailed in February as part of a separate ? 7m drugs conspiracy investigation , and 3kg from North Somerset man Alex Male , who was jailed last December for 18 years and who also went on the run . Barbosa used Robert Dent 's home in Knowle West as a safe house , with James Hele as a courier . Dent and Hele were jailed in 2023 for 12 years and 11 years respectively . DCI Adam Smith from SWROCU said : " Barbosa was very well connected to other serious criminals who were collectively making huge profits out of supplying class A drugs onto our streets . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and those who worked for him , receive significant jail time . Now it 's his turn . " Barbosa kept a low profile , letting others run the risk of storing and distributing drugs and money under his instruction . He 'll have seen the sentences they 've received while on the run . " We all know the huge harm caused by the business they 're in and the youth violence and exploitation it fuels . Cases like this show the absolute determination of our unit , together with our regional forces , to target those causing the most harm . " Ruona Iguyovwe , Senior Specialist Prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service , said : " Barbosa had a significant role in a sophisticated operation which supplied Class A drugs across the South West , handling over 66 kilograms of cocaine worth millions of pounds . " Despite his attempts to evade justice by hiding behind encrypted technology and fleeing abroad , the Crown Prosecution Service , including our International Unit , worked closely with law enforcement and international partners to secure his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ justice . " This case sends a clear message that we will pursue criminals wherever they go -- there is nowhere to hide . Organised crime and illegal drugs bring misery and harm to our communities , and we will work tirelessly to help dismantle these criminal networks . " We will be pursuing confiscation proceedings against Barbosa to recover the proceeds of his crimes . " Barbosa pleaded guilty on 25 January this year to three counts of conspiracy to supply class A ( cocaine , heroin and crack cocaine ) ; conspiracy to conceal , disguise , transfer or remove criminal property ; and acquiring criminal property .

And back in November , huge rats were spotted causing mayhem in Asda .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('get them out of working'). It implies a prevention interpretation where the subject is trying to prevent the object from working in their bedroom. The verb 'get' can be considered as using nonspecific means to achieve the goal, fitting one of the categories of verbs that appear in the V1 slot. The NP object 'them' functions as a causee who participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'working'. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It contains a transitive verb 'get' with an NP object 'a real kick', but it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of seeing himself in the pages of 'Dracula'' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

John Cartwright has confirmed a broken arm for Hull FC forward Jordan Lane . The back rower left the field during the first half of Saturday 's derby defeat to Hull KR and went straight to hospital , with X-rays confirming the fracture . Lane was the first Hull player to drop out of the 32-16 defeat , with Rovers into the final four of the Challenge Cup after an impressive 32-16 win . The Black and Whites were down 30-0 before tries from Lewis Martin , Herman Ese'ese , and Zak Hardaker salvaged some pride , with Ed Chamberlain also limping off in the second half . And before the clash , Hull also lost Brad Fash to a calf injury , with the forward pulling up in the team . That stretched FC , who are also without back rowers Jed Cartwright and Oliver Holmes , and with salary cap space still available , have not ruled out further recruitment . Speaking to Hull Live post-match , Cartwright said : " Jordan has broken @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . He 's gone to hospital . We 've got the x-rays back , and he 's got a broken arm . " Ed has twisted a knee . It 's not an ACL . Hopefully , it will be just a minor MCL but we 'll have a full medical on Monday , and we 'll go from there . " Brad tore a calf muscle at training on Friday . He will be out for a little bit . We do n't know the extent yet , but he was n't good enough to play today . It happened at the captain 's run -- we felt something pop . He 'll go for a scan on Monday . " On recruitment options , Cartwright continued : " It 's something we 're going to have to look at , but the stocks are really low . Hopefully , Ed Chamberlain will be okay . " Ed has mostly been playing in the centres . We had to do a shuffle when Fashy pulled up , so we took him out of the centres @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ today as well . He played with great enthusiasm . We 'll have to check what 's available , but we need to check on Ed first . " As for the derby , Cartwright praised Hull KR , who made it nine wins from nine to start 2025 , with the Robins giving a firm reminder of the work still ahead at the Black and Whites , despite their own positive start to the season . The home side , playing in front of a strong 20,226 crowd , had their chances , but they could n't capitalise in what was a competitive start to the game , albeit filled with errors . " I 'm really disappointed with how we handled the first half , " Cartwright added . " I thought we competed physically , especially in the first 20 minutes . They made a lot of errors , and we were forcing the errors upon them , but unfortunately we backed up those errors . " We did n't really give ourselves a chance to play any football up their end of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tackle count and made some schoolboy errors . They got a bit of momentum -- they 're undefeated , and they are leading the competition for a reason . " They came out of defending their line , and they scored a good try , but then the try off a kick was a big turning point in the game . It was just one of those ones ; I do n't think it was anyone 's fault ; the kick landed in no-man's-land , and they got a good bounce . " At 12-0 , all the momentum was with them , they had a strong breeze at their back , and they made us pay . They got the try before half-time and at 18-0 it was always going to be a tough task .

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('RMG') + V1 ('trying to wriggle') + NP object (implied 'themselves') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('going through the proper section 20 consultation process'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where 'RMG' is attempting to prevent themselves from undergoing the consultation process. The verb 'wriggle' can be categorized under means of exerting force or pressure metaphorically. The NP object is coreferential with the subject, which is an atypical but acceptable type as per the sixth property.

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('RMG') + V1 ('trying to wriggle') + NP object (implied 'us' or 'the tenants') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('going through the proper section 20 consultation process'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where RMG is attempting to prevent the proper consultation process from occurring by their actions. The verb 'wriggle' can be categorized under means of deception or trickery, fitting one of the semantic classes of verbs that appear in the V1 slot. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It also does not exhibit either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'ruled out of giving amateur Patrick Mullins the day of his life' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it fit any of the semantic or syntactic properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Willie Mullins sent out an unprecedented one-two -- three in the 177th Randox Grand National at Aintree yesterday but the Irish trainer was cheering on one horse from the last , the 33-1 winner Nick Rockett , ridden by his son Patrick , the only amateur taking on 33 professionals in the marathon steeplechase . The eight-year-old , at one point an 8-1 shot after winning the Thyestes and Bobbyjo Chases but largely ignored by punters and pundits in the more immediate build-up , beat last year 's winner I Am Maximus by two and a half lengths with a third member of Mullins ' six-strong squad , Grangeclare West , another half a length away despite blundering through the last . The first non-Mullins-trained runner home was the locally trained Iroko , the 13-2 favourite , in fourth . You might think it difficult for a man as conditioned to success as Mullins to get emotional but blood is thicker than water and when it comes to the Grand National the intergenerational father-son dynamic is all powerful , this time reducing the most successful jumps trainer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the National is one thing , " he said . " To be able to leg your son up and ride the winner is off the charts -- it 's incredible . " Then , under the trilby , the tears began to flow . " It brings back memories , " he said . " My mother who died in 2024 is n't here , my father is n't here , but I wish they were here to see this . " This is the summit for me , I do n't think it can get any better than this . It 's just huge . Now I know how Ted Walsh felt when Ruby won it for him Papillon in 2000 . I never thought I 'd have that feeling . I thought when he came there at the second-last it could happen , then I saw Paul Townend , on I Am Maximus coming alive . I just tried to keep breathing .

Patrick Mullins , 35 , the most successful amateur of all time with 15 Irish titles and 800-plus winners , is the seventh amateur to win it since the Second World War . A delighted Patrick Mullins crosses the line first aboard Nick Rockett at Aintree Credit : Reuters/Phil Noble " I was going too well everywhere , " he said of his heroic conveyance who , on an unseasonably hot afternoon , was taken to cool down in front of the industrial fans in the unsaddling area , rather than into the winner 's enclosure .

" I had that in mind when we got to the last , so I was bopping around until we got to the Elbow and then I said to myself , ' I 'm going to go , I 'm going to enjoy this ' . " That 's so cool . This is the race . I remember reading books about it when I was six or seven and obviously Lottery , The Lamb , Abd-El-Kader as the first double winner of the race and then Reynoldstown , Golden Miller and so on . That 's proper history .

" Nick was Sadie 's horse . " She wanted a horse in training with Willie . She had a holy communion with him , we bumped into him by chance at Cheltenham sales , and Sadie said , ' Why do n't we get Willie to buy a horse for us ?

" Wille said then , ' This is the plan : we 're going to win the Thyestes , we 're going to win the Bobbyjo , and then have a crack at Aintree ' . What can you say ? The man is a gentleman .

Patrick comes in every morning and runs the whole show . He matches all the horses and the riders every morning and I might come up and change one or two things but Patrick could take over .

L'Eau Du Sud tried to produce a late challenge but Kalif Du Berlais gained a couple of lengths with another cracking jump at the last and ran clear to win well . Kalif Du Berlais was ridden like the best horse in the race and fully justified those tactics .

The money continues to flood in for I Am Maximus , he might well start this race at 5/1 in places . Stumptown and Perceval Legallois still attracting support , and the same can be said of Three Card Brag . The 34 runners are making their way around the parade ring . We are 15 minutes from the off , though it would be no surprise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ given the pattern established at Cheltenham that has continued here . Paul Townend on I Am Maximus will wear a white cap , Jonjo O'Neill Jr a yellow and green cap on Iroko while Mark Walsh on Perceval Legallois will wear a green cap with a white star . If your eyesight is good enough , that is how to distinguish between the three strong candidates in green and gold silks . Still plenty of support for the favourite and last year 's winner I Am Maximus . There is also a sea of blue on Oddschecker alongside the names of Perceval Legallois , Stumptown , Three Card Brag and Kandoo Kid . That means their odds are shortening . Iroko , Intense Raffles , Hewick , Minella Concooner and Vanillier are drifters at the moment . He deserves this . Henry trainer Henry de Bromhead said ride him the way you usually do . We were unsure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stays really well . I 'm very privileged to pick up rides for Henry . I was pipped in the Long Walk and I 'm delighted he has won today . A winner for Henry De Bromhead and Darragh O'Keefe , finishing in front of Strong Leader and Jetara . The Wallpark was fourth . Kitzbuhel had nothing in the tank off the bridle having been far too keen in the first circuit . They race past the Aintree grandstand for the second time . Monmiral still leads ahead of Strong Leader . Home By The Lee is struggling to keep up with the pace . Townend has dropped Kitzbuhel back to try to settle the favourite down . After a couple of hurdles , Kitzbuhel and The Wallpark clipped heels but Paul Townend recovered on the favourite . Kitzbuhel is looking a little keen though , Townend having to work hard to hold the reins . Monmiral @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Around five minutes to the off in the stayers ' hurdle race A number of these horses had hard races at Cheltenham , and the ground was judged too quick for Teahupoo . That explains why Willie Mullins ' five-year-old Kitzbuhel has been backed into favouritism over the last 24 hours . He arrives fresh having not run at Cheltenham and is unexposed against these rivals . That meant the world . To win here again is special . He has n't been in the same form as last year but he likes a bit of sun on his back and Tom trainer Tom Lacey has n't rushed him . It is a great team effort to get him back here . Imperial Saint just lost ground between the penultimate and last fence , and Cruz Control found plenty off the bridle to to win in front of Erne River who ran on strongly . Imperial Saint stuck at it to take third . Imperial Saint is galloping freely at the front of the field alongside Docpickedme . The question will be is the pre-race favourite doing too much , too early ? No fallers but Frero Banbou has been pulled up . A nine-year-old boy with a life-limiting condition rubbed his " lucky medal " on the boots of the jockey riding his favourite horse in the Grand National . Joshua Duckworth , who lives less than a mile from Aintree Racecourse , has been made the honorary 35th runner for the race today by The Jockey Club . Before the Cheltenham Festival in March , Joshua visited joint trainers Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero at their Cheshire yard and rubbed his lucky medal on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Plate Handicap Chase . Now Joshua is hoping Iroko will follow up with victory in the most famous race in the world . Joshua 's father Christopher said his son was given the medal by a member of Brentford Football Club 's security team , named Andy , who he met and befriended . Christopher said : " Joshua has now rubbed the medal against Jonjo 's boots to keep him safe and hopefully win . We 'll be cheering them on . Joshua 's madly in love with Iroko . He has fallen in love with Rachael Blackmore , too , though , so I think he 's 70% for Iroko and 30% for Minella Indo . " Another winner ridden by Mark Walsh this week . Regent 's Stroll made all and jumped superbly the whole way around but was picked up by Honesty Policy on the run-in who came with a rattle in the McManus colours . Funiculi Funicula ran a huge race at a big price to be third . Horaces Pearl is the favourite for Fergal O'Brien but Miami Magic looks very interesting having finished by Potter 's Charm over two miles here in December . The dry ground should suit . This is the race Lulamba was scheduled to run in , one of a few non-runners in this one . Gavin Cromwell is edging his way into the top three jump trainers in Ireland and in Stumptown , Vanillier and Percival Legallois , arguably comes here with a stronger hand than any other trainer and one imagines even he will find it hard to split them . A few years ago he was best known as Tiger Roll 's farrier but if any of them triumphs he will become just the sixth trainer in history after Basil Briscoe , Fred Rimell , Vincent O'Brien , Henry de Bromhead and Willie Mullins to win a Gold Cup and National in the same season . Stumptown won the cross-country at Cheltenham but had a hard race and though he will be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the race on good ground may take him out of his comfort zone . Vanillier , runner-up two years ago , appears to have been transformed by blinkers on his last two starts and could reverse the form with Stumptown if he did not have too hard a race three weeks ago . The pick of them , though , appears to be Percival Legallois on whom Mark Walsh , JP McManus 's stable jockey in Ireland , is bidding to become the first jockey since Jim Culloty in 2002 to win the Gold Cup ( Best Mate ) and National ( Bindaree ) fresh from winning jump racing 's blue riband at Cheltenham on Cromwell 's Inothewayurthinkin . He is fresh and will enjoy the ground . He falls at the sixth-last . The rest of the field still standing as the race begins to take shape . Act of Authority is making progress from the rear . Dartan and Building Bridges have started racing and have kicked clear of the rest with three to jump . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Building Bridges is the early front-runner as they travel down the back straight for the first time . Timmy Tuesday and Jipcot also in the leading group . After an aakward start , Act of Authority is held up and will have to travel through the field . But a long way to go . There has been lots of betting support for Act of Authority over the last 24 hours , and Olly Murphy 's horse has been backed into 4-1 favouritism . Closely followed by Catch Him Derry as the Skeltons target yet more handicap success .

Good-ground horses have been increasingly marginalised in modern Grand Nationals as Aintree waters the track in an attempt to slow the race down but , with the going drying as fast as it can be irrigated this week , they will never get a better chance and Hyland can capitalise on that by winning the 177th edition of the world 's greatest steeplechase . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ year 's line-up , has a lot going for him ; a light weight , the best ground he is ever likely to get in a National , Grade One form having chased home arguably the leading staying novice in the country at Christmas , a solid warm-up for this at Kempton in February and , crucially , he comes in without having had a hard race at Cheltenham three weeks ago . In the ' old days ' running a novice in the National would have been considered foolhardy but Rule The World and Noble Yeats , both winners within the last 10 years , were novices , indeed Rule The World had not won a race over fences when he turned up at Aintree in 2016 . As such there is every possibility Hyland is still ahead of the handicapper , another box which needs to be ticked in order to win a modern National .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It involves the phrase 'opt out of receiving Child Benefit payments', where 'receiving' is part of a gerund phrase, but there is no NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The context is about choosing not to receive benefits rather than causing someone to move out of or preventing someone from an action.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It involves the phrase 'opt out of receiving Child Benefit payments', where 'receiving' is part of a gerund phrase, but there is no NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The context is about choosing not to receive benefits rather than causing or preventing someone from an action.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It describes an action (creating line breaks) that happens 'out of nothing', which is a different usage of 'out of' and does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate or the specific interpretations (movement/extraction or prevention) associated with the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'out of riding' is part of a prepositional phrase modifying 'squeeze', and 'riding' is not a VP[-ing] predicate in the required sense.

Popular jockey Alan Johns enjoyed a fairytale end to his riding career when partnering Bumpy Evans to victory in the finale . The rider announced he was quitting the saddle to pursue a media career on Sunday morning and he showed the weighing room what it was missing when he landed the DragonBet Sponsors Alan Johns Handicap Chase in dramatic circumstances . It was his 223rd winner . He overcame a series of errors from the 8-13 favourite , including at the first fence , but was still within hailing distance in the home straight . While the leader Tedwin Hills blundered his chance away at the third last , Johns cajoled the quirky Bumpy Evans to get the better of Higgs by a length and three-quarters . " Still got it !

" I had 30 friends and family here cheering me on and it felt like riding a Cheltenham or a festival winner . They were five deep at the winner 's enclosure ! " Alan Johns ( right ) : will continue his social media work now his riding career has come to a close Explaining his decision to stop riding , he said : " I do n't feel like I 'm riding enough winners and having enough rides and on top of that I 'm quite keen to pursue a career in media and take on a new challenge . " I could n't see my fortunes changing that much and I 'm 35 now and I was n't prepared to gamble and reinvest and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would bring about an upturn in opportunities . " I was quite a late starter to riding and I 've always kind of been doing it on a temporary contract and things have slid backwards for me in the last couple of years . Some people want to squeeze everything out of riding but I 'm quite excited to try and get some more experience under my belt . " Johns has worked for Great British Racing and the Jockey Club among others and is hoping to leverage his knowledge in new areas in the future . " I 'd love to be on TV talking about racing , " he said . " I quite enjoy the social media , I feel I 've got an angle on what works and what does n't . I 've started to run social media accounts for jockeys and that could be a nice little business .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of riding' is not part of the transitive out of -ing construction as 'riding' is not a VP[-ing] predicate in this context but rather a noun phrase.

Popular jockey Alan Johns enjoyed a fairytale end to his riding career when partnering Bumpy Evans to victory in the finale . The rider announced he was quitting the saddle to pursue a media career on Sunday morning and he showed the weighing room what it was missing when he landed the DragonBet Sponsors Alan Johns Handicap Chase in dramatic circumstances . It was his 223rd winner . He overcame a series of errors from the 8-13 favourite , including at the first fence , but was still within hailing distance in the home straight . While the leader Tedwin Hills blundered his chance away at the third last , Johns cajoled the quirky Bumpy Evans to get the better of Higgs by a length and three-quarters . " Still got it ! " the rider joked . " It was probably the most surreal 15 minutes of my life . He 's a bit mad and he wanted to bolt to the start , so I got permission to go down early , but then they had a presentation lined up for me with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ too bad on the way to the start but he was n't very nice during the race . I did n't think I was going to win the whole way around and then to his credit he 's very game at the business end of the race . Coming to the last I thought he 'd do it . " I had 30 friends and family here cheering me on and it felt like riding a Cheltenham or a festival winner . They were five deep at the winner 's enclosure ! " Alan Johns ( right ) : will continue his social media work now his riding career has come to a close Explaining his decision to stop riding , he said : " I do n't feel like I 'm riding enough winners and having enough rides and on top of that I 'm quite keen to pursue a career in media and take on a new challenge . " I could n't see my fortunes changing that much and I 'm 35 now and I was n't prepared to gamble and reinvest and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would bring about an upturn in opportunities . " I was quite a late starter to riding and I 've always kind of been doing it on a temporary contract and things have slid backwards for me in the last couple of years . Some people want to squeeze everything out of riding but I 'm quite excited to try and get some more experience under my belt . " Johns has worked for Great British Racing and the Jockey Club among others and is hoping to leverage his knowledge in new areas in the future . " I 'd love to be on TV talking about racing , " he said . " I quite enjoy the social media , I feel I 've got an angle on what works and what does n't . I 've started to run social media accounts for jockeys and that could be a nice little business .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'taking the mick out of hearing people', where 'hearing people' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Reunion is a four-part revenge thriller told through the unique point of view of a deaf man isolated from society , both physically and emotionally . We meet Brennan , a convicted murderer , as he leaves prison after serving ten years . Upon leaving prison , Brennan has a clear mission : revenge . Embodying the struggle of a man caught between two worlds , Brennan is unable to fully integrate into the hearing world , while shunned by the deaf community . Amidst this isolation , the only hope of redemption and saving Brennan from himself is through rebuilding his relationship with his estranged daughter Carly and finding a way to let go of the past . Will Brennan be consumed by his desire for revenge or take the opportunity for a new life with his daughter ? Lara Peake and Matthew Gurney What is Reunion about ? Reunion is the story of a man called Daniel Brennan . He 's just out of prison after ten years inside @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ family . He 's lost his friends . He 's lost the deaf community . But he 's on a journey of revenge . But that journey becomes something different from what he 's expecting and from what the audience is expecting . It starts as a typical story of revenge , and then it becomes something bigger and more powerful . Can you tell us about writing Reunion and how it developed from an early idea ? Reunion started as an idea a long time ago . Initially , it was from a place of emotion , a place of anger , sadness . It felt like I had something to say . Originally , I wanted to write it as a short drama - that was ten years ago . But then three or four years ago , I started to look at that idea again and realised it would work better as a series , I just wrote it for myself . But what was interesting was that when I started to send out the script , everyone loved it . I was shocked by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do n't care what other people think about it but when people like it , it 's great and kind of scary too . Tell us about collaborating with Warp Films , how did the project develop once they were involved ? When Warp Films first joined the production , I was so happy because I 'm from Sheffield and Warp is based here , so it was a dream collaboration . They 've been brilliant , they worked with me for two years to get to the point where we were filming and just looking around , seeing the actors , seeing the crew , it was just amazing to watch it come together . The series highlights the close-knit nature of deaf communities . Why was this key to how the audience understands Brennan 's motives and experience when released from prison ? Our main character , Daniel Brennan grew up in the deaf community . All of his best friends and family are deaf . For him , it 's important that he has that inclusion . So , when he kills someone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and that 's the community that forms his identity . It becomes a double prison sentence for Brennan , he is in physical prison , but he finishes his time and is in a different kind of prison . That 's part of the story , how he deals with that isolation and overcomes the feeling of losing everything . In the deaf community , everybody knows everybody , and Brennan is a victim of rumours . Nobody knows why he did what he did , and everyone 's created theories and ideas about what happened that night . Reunion also shows the power of the deaf community . It can be a place of safety where you feel you can be your authentic self , but when Brennan 's excluded from that , it becomes a very different thing for him , something more judgmental and claustrophobic , they 've turned against him . It was interesting for us to explore this and how you deal with being rejected by the community that you love . Reunion is set against a Yorkshire backdrop . How do you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? What I wanted to do was write a love letter to my hometown , Sheffield . To show those amazing locations that I remember from my childhood but also show that there 's a strong deaf community here in Sheffield . We 've used a lot of deaf people who live and work here as part of Reunion , which was important for me . I grew up here and I lived here for 22 years . One thing I always loved about Sheffield was the contrast . The centre of town has lots of old buildings from the industrial past , the steel industry , and then five minutes ' drive out of the centre and you 're in the countryside , it 's beautiful , it 's green and the contrast of that is so surprising for me . What I like about Reunion is that it starts in quite a dark place . It starts in prison . But by the end , the journey takes us to the countryside , where we find our final scenes . The series is bilingual , with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to have both languages present throughout the series ? One thing I wanted to achieve with Reunion was to show that sign language is not just one thing . Sign language can be used in different ways . Some people sign and speak at the same time , and some use sign language solely . Others will use SSC ( Scottish Sensory Centre ) and add in elements of gesture . I wanted to show the variety of communication methods that deaf and hard-of-hearing people use . I 'm proud of Lara Peake and Anne-Marie Duff as they both had to learn sign language for this series. , They learned it in a matter of weeks and they look amazing . I 'm also proud of Duffy , our sign language consultant , for helping both of them learn and thrive in sign . Was it difficult writing the bilingual element of it ? I wrote Reunion as a bilingual script from the start . I knew clearly who would be signing , who would be speaking , and who would n't be signing at all . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ show the different range of communications that they use . I had to think about that carefully so that the director could hopefully navigate that with the language each character should be using . I also wanted to show that no deaf person is the same and that everyone has their own style of communication , their own language , their own accent , so it was important for me that it was a bilingual series from the start . Can you tell us three things viewers can look forward to in Reunion ? Luke Snellin , the director , is something audiences should look forward to , he did an amazing job . He joined the production knowing very little about deaf culture and sign language but once he got on set , he embraced it and learnt sign language as he went along , and he did brilliantly . But the thing I 'm most excited about is Matthew Gurney . I 've known him for about 20 years , and he 's an incredible actor . I 'm so happy that he finally gets this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The whole of Reunion is happening because of him , because of his acting . I was talking about Matty with our sign language consultant , Duffy , who said that seeing Matty , a deaf actor , as number one on the call sheet gave him goosebumps . Matty is carrying the whole thing with strength and it 's beautiful to watch . Can you explain to us what a sign name is ? A sign name is given to you by members of the deaf community , friends and peers . It 's not always the name that you want to be given , but it 's based on a very personal trait this could be physical , or personality-based ; sometimes it 's the name you have to accept . My sign name is he moves both hands in front of him from side to side while moving his fingers up and down in a mimic piano motion and it means piano man . Over 20 years ago , I was on a Channel 4 documentary about a deaf man playing the piano . The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ everyone was pointing at me and said , ' Look , it 's the Piano Man ' , and that was it , it has stuck with me ever since . Why should people watch the show ? Reunion is set within the deaf community , it has sign language within it , but also it has an element of mystery , intrigue and excitement . Reunion is about hope . It 's about a man who 's lost everything . His wife , his daughter , his friends and his community , but he still has hope that one day , maybe , he 'll find a way to live again . Matthew Gurney What first drew you to Reunion and the role of Brennan ? It 's an amazing storyline and completely different from my previous work . Brennan is on a wildly different journey than that portrayed by normal deaf lives . In previous films , deaf and disabled characters have been portrayed in quite stereotypical ways . This is different , this portrays a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's why I wanted to know more about him , and that 's why I wanted to get involved . Where do we find Brennan at the beginning of the series ? My character has just been released from prison . He 's finally free , out of isolation . However , when he gets out , he finds that he is still isolated . He is on a journey to try to reunite with various people and solve the problems of his past . What did you think when you first read William ( Billy ) Mager 's scripts ? Billy 's scripts are brilliant . I 've seen them develop which has helped me to understand and embody my character . Brennan 's journey is different now than it was in the original scripts , the story is more targeted . Before there seemed to be more of a balance between the family storyline and the mission to find certain people and seek revenge . Now the journey seems a lot more focused on finding those people , which feels right . What @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ known Billy for a good 20 years . I remember the first time we worked together was on Vee TV for Channel 4 . He was the director ; I was the presenter . We also worked together on Fingerspellers and various other projects before Reunion . Tell us about Brennan and Carly 's relationship and how that changes through the series Brennan and Carly 's relationship has broken down . They were very close when she was growing up but have been apart from each other for a long time . They are finally reunited but his daughter has grown up , she 's not how Brennan remembers her , she 's a different person now . It takes a lot of work to rebuild their relationship slowly throughout the episodes before they get their reunion . Hence , it is called Reunion . What was it like filming in Yorkshire and what does the location add to the series ? It really adds to the story ; it doubles the impact . Rather than solely focusing on the shots and making sure the signing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and reflect the journey that Brennan is on . From the cafe , the garage and the cemetery , they are all such different locations , which makes it much more exciting . For example , the reunion scene is in an extravagant hall , but we have other locations which helps the tone of the show . Can you tell us about how you brought the themes of revenge , redemption and the challenges of navigating life after prison to life on screen ? I try to picture and think about how the world has excluded Brennan and shut him out . I think about how I can find ways to make the truth known . When people refuse to talk to Brennan , I try to find different ways of acting and ways to behave . I try to draw on my animal instincts and channel that , to help in his pursuit to get what he wants . What was your favourite scene to film ? I would say the cafe scene where Brennan first meets Carly because that is their reintroduction , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ feels very emotional as they both do n't know how to act naturally with each other anymore , there is so much that is unsaid . Tell us why audiences should watch Reunion It is a unique storyline , not one that patronises deaf people , it shows a range of Sign Language , from BSL to SSE ! And it 's incredibly visual . Try not to rely on the sound or music but appreciate the visual nature of the show . What is your sign name ? My sign name is Matty he signs a straight line forward with his full hand parallel from his nose , because I do n't beat around the bush , I always get straight to the point . Lara Peake Tell us about Reunion and where we find Carly at the beginning of the series Reunion is about a man who gets out of prison . He 's been in prison for ten years for murdering his best friend , and when he gets out , he 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he is on a mission for . Then he meets his daughter , Carly , who I 'm playing , and there 's a reunion of sorts between them . In the series , there are lots of smaller reunions as well as the big reunion that the title alludes to . At the start of the series , Carly is working in a cafe . She does n't have much money , her living situation is n't great , her mum 's died , so she 's totally isolated . With her dad going to prison , she 's been isolated from the deaf community that she grew up in as well because she 's a CODA , which means she 's hearing but was born to deaf adults . How did Brennan going to prison affect Carly 's life ? Brennan 's arrest totally changed Carly 's life . It came as a surprise because she believes her dad is a good person and ca n't comprehend why he would do such a bad thing , especially to Ray , his best friend who 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was also forced to stop being friends with Miri , her best friend for ten years , who is the daughter of Ray . She just becomes pretty much alone , more so when her mum dies which was two years after Brennan was sent to prison and so after that point she is truly all alone . How does Carly feel towards Brennan when they meet again ? It 's very conflicting . On the one hand , she wants to bond and have this relationship with her dad again , but Brennan 's also not written to her or kept in touch while he 's been in prison and there 's this massive push-and-pull dynamic between the two trying to understand each other again . He has to realise that she 's not the same girl he left when he went to prison , now she 's a full-grown adult . Did you know any BSL before you joined the cast of Reunion ? No , I did n't . I 've always been quite fascinated by it as a language and the visuals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It 's been amazing to learn it and soak it all up . This is probably my favourite job yet because of this opportunity to learn BSL , among other things of course ! Did you have to learn BSL for your audition , and how did you do that ? For the chemistry audition with Matty ( Brennan ) I was asked to learn the scene in BSL . I got sent a video of the sign , and I had to copy it and memorise it , and then put the emotion and the acting on top of that . But actually , learning BSL for the show , I 've been looking into the meaning of the words , and I just find the whole process amazing , and I feel grateful that I am a part of this series . It 's mindful as well , like meditation . When I 'm learning it , I can be doing it for three or four hours and I 'm like , wow , that 's just flown by . Tell us about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sign language consultant , Duffy , is a complete legend who taught me pretty much every day during filming . As time went on , we were out in social settings , and I picked up so much more outside of the formal learning environment . Duffy 's brilliant , he 's a complete prankster as well , which is funny and makes learning fun . What was it like filming in Yorkshire ? What do you think the location adds to the series ? It was amazing to be filming in Yorkshire . It 's not too far from where I 'm from in Nottingham . I also have a family connection with the area , my grandad grew up in a town not too far from where we were filming , so it feels like a home from home . But also , the landscape , the people , it 's all just incredible . It feels like you can really get into the environment and let that guide you as an actor . Do you have a sign name , can you explain it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ three fingers and does a scratching motion on her shoulder because Duffy said that I sign slow like a sloth . What you will find is a lot of deaf humour is a lot of playful teasing and banter . Why should audiences watch the show ? There 's so much that people can relate to in this series . In the relationships , the storyline , what it feels like to be isolated from a community , welcomed into a community . To be able to watch a show that is led by deaf actors . And sign language is not done often enough , so it 's an opportunity to learn and become fascinated and immersed in that world . Anne-Marie Duff What first drew you to the project and the role of Christine ? These particular scripts are so beautifully written . They are so unlike anything else I 'd ever read , I was immediately excited , and it was a bit of a no-brainer , I had to be involved . Also , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I had never experienced before . I know deaf people , but I have never immersed myself in that culture , so that was exciting . As an actor , I always love my work to feel valuable , and it 's rare . Most of the time it can feel a bit frivolous but on a production like this , it just felt profoundly worthwhile . Tell us where we find Christine at the start of the series Christine is a very interesting woman . She 's had this dreadful thing happen to her and is coming out of the woods and into the sunlight again in terms of getting through it all . And then the past comes back in this really Freudian way , so I thought that was fascinating . What are Christine 's motives when she first encounters Brennan again after he gets out of prison ? When Christine sees Brennan as a free man , she has so many unanswered questions . Not only did he murder her husband , but it was n't a random attack . Brennan was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and was a good friend , so she 's desperately hungry for the why and how it happened because there are many questions left unanswered . As soon as she sees him , she 's like a bloodhound chasing the truth . Her motive is just to fill in all the blank spaces that are just there because the most awful thing has happened . Miri and Christine have a close but slightly fractured relationship throughout the series . How did you work with Rose to bring that authentic relationship to life ? I 've been fantastically lucky to work with Rose . Not only is she this spectacular person , but she 's also a real game changer and an inspiration , and she 's just lovely . She 's a brilliant actor ; she works so hard . It was very easy trying to create the sense that we are related and that we love each other . She 's so available and it 's been very easy to play her mum . Our relationship in the series is great because it feels like a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ track , there are always little diversions , and in this , we 're dealing with high stakes , jeopardy and pain . It 's been interesting playing these two women trying to navigate these emotions and trying to take care of each other , but at the same time needing their own space . Did you know any BSL before you joined the cast ? Tell us about the learning process and how you prepared I was an absolute beginner when it came to signing . In a way , sometimes that 's the best place to start because you do n't bring anything with you , you 're just wide open and ready to learn . I 've also had the most incredible teacher , Duffy , and we had to work very quickly to get me to a point where I looked like I had been signing for years . It 's a completely beautiful language and the environment on set around signing is so alive because it 's not just some of the actors who are deaf , there are also crew members @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ communicate with each other , and it 's been a good example of how we can and how easy it is if we try . I 've loved it . It 's very interesting translating and saying , ' Okay , if I would act this vocally in this way how would I physicalise when signing in scenes where I do n't vocalise ' and so it 's exactly the same . I 'd be just as awkward physically as I would with my voice , so it 's been rather beautiful actually . We 've had a good giggle along the way , and even having a cup of tea with everybody , I 'm having to sign all the time . It 's immersion , it 's like visiting this beautiful country where I 've had to learn the language and it 's been brilliant . Do you have a sign name ? And if so , what is it ? Rose gave me a sign name and sign names are magical because they 're all about your essence and who you are and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nickname . It 's kind of a name you earn , which is very interesting . So , my sign name is this she holds a fist over her chest with her thumb moving up and down in a ' beating ' motion and the reason that it 's over my heart is because , according to Rose , I am kind , and I always call everybody baby . Why should everyone watch Reunion ? Everyone should watch Reunion because it 's surprising , full of twists and turns , brilliant characters and performances . But it 's also a story about what we do to each other and how the events of early life can alter your future profoundly . It just tears along , and it leaves you with so many questions you 're desperate to have the answers to , that 's how I felt when I read the scripts . Anne-Marie Duff and Eddie Marsan What first drew you to the project ? And the character of Stephen ? I thought Reunion was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is about a deaf character who comes out of prison and wants to put something right . What it 's really about is a failure to communicate , and a failure to tell the truth . To put it in the context of a deaf character who ca n't hear and ca n't communicate was an ingenious way of exploring that theme . I also wanted to work with Anne-Marie because I 've worked with her before and she 's fantastic . Where do we find Stephen at the start of the series ? Stephen is a retired police officer who is starting a relationship with Anne-Marie 's character Christine , whose husband was murdered by Brennan all those years ago . Interestingly , Stephen does hold a dark secret himself , and he has a moral dilemma of whether to tell the truth or to keep quiet . What did you think when you first read Billy 's scripts ? I thought it was an ingenious way of exploring the theme of truth , how and why we ca n't tell the truth and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exploring it through someone within the deaf community , and how it relates to them is a brilliant metaphor . What have been some of your favourite experiences during the film so far ? Working with a cast and crew who are a mixture of both hearing and non-hearing . I loved learning the sign language , but also the humour . Everyone has a sign name , and my sign name means ' The Best ' , and I said , ' Does that mean I 'm the best ? ' And someone said , ' No , it means you think you 're the best ! ' . What 's it like filming in Yorkshire ? Do you think locations add to the series ? I enjoy filming in Yorkshire . I love Sheffield as a town . Me and Anne-Marie had a scene outside Sheffield City Hall opposite a Wetherspoons with numerous hen parties , which was an experience , but it was great fun as well . There 's an incredible generosity of spirit here , it 's not pretentious in any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Reunion is an ingenious and unique story that 's told from a perspective that has n't been explored before . Viewers are going to find it fascinating , frustrating , intriguing and illuminating . Rose Ayling-Ellis What first drew you to the project and the character of Miri ? William Mager . In my experience , a deaf writer of a TV drama has rarely happened , ever . When I read the scripts there were so many moments in it that were so specific to deaf culture . It got me so excited to see those moments , and I just felt that I had to be involved . What 's Miri 's relationship with her mom , Christine , like ? Their relationship is a lovely mother-and-daughter relationship . They 're both grieving , even though it 's been ten years . But grieving never goes away , it can have its ups and downs , and they bond over that . Also , for Miri , Christine is the only family that she has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . What 's it like working closely with Anne-Marie Duff ? It 's amazing . It 's funny because a lot of people have said to my mum , oh , Anne-Marie would play you in a movie about your life , and now she 's actually playing my mum . It was a bit of inspired casting and she 's just so lovely . She 's a darling . How did you work together on portraying Christine and Miri 's relationship ? We did a group rehearsal before we started shooting and you do n't often get that luxury . Normally the first time you meet the other actor is on set . So , because we had that , we already had our relationship set up from the beginning . We often got on the train back to London from Sheffield together too , and when I 'd see her , I 'd get her to sign with me and we just ended up having a bond . Tell us about Miri 's history with Carly Miri and Carly were best friends @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to fall apart in an instant . There is also a bit of grief in that because they never chose to not speak to each other , it was someone else making that choice for them . I do n't think they ever got over it . Do you have a favourite moment that you ca n't wait for viewers to see ? There 's a moment where Miri meets Stephen properly and winds him up by using only sign language . I just love how deaf humour is a lot of taking the mick out of hearing people . Sorry about that , but that 's what we do . That 's what also got me excited about Billy writing the series . A deaf writer knows exactly what it 's like from my perspective , and I have never had that before . I 'm just excited for the audience to see it and to see that we can be funny , being deaf can be funny . Could you explain to people what a sign name is ? In the Deaf community @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is similar to a hearing word , a nickname . Rather than us spending time spelling everyone 's name , we have a sign name that becomes quite personal . So , mine is Rose she signs with her thumb and forefinger pinched and three other fingers extended and moves her hand from one side of her mouth to the other because it 's a flower , and it 's got a bit of thorn . But then , for example , Ruby could be a football because she loves football . It 's very particular and personal to each person . Matthew Gurney and Lara Peake Tell us about Reunion . What drew you to the project ? What drew me to Reunion was meeting Billy , and one of the things he started to talk about was how he wanted BSL and signing portrayed , how he wanted the deaf community to be portrayed on TV and deaf culture in general . For me , I did n't know much about any of those aspects before meeting Billy , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me excited about the series . Now I feel even more passionate about the representation of the deaf community since I have come into direct contact with lots of amazing deaf actors and crew members . But it was Billy 's passion for how the deaf community is portrayed on TV , in doing something big in scale and something cinematic but that had a deaf character at the front and centre , that first drew me in . How did you go about setting the tone for the series ? On the surface , the tone and the genre of Reunion is familiar , we 've seen thrillers before , we 've seen road trip movies before , and we 've seen revenge stories before . But at the heart of this series is this father-daughter story about family . There 's also the amazing , unique perspective of how it feels to be a deaf man in prison , a deaf man re-entering the world after ten years and reconnecting with his daughter . So , on the one hand , there were a lot of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was really specific to deaf culture and the deaf community . We see Brennan cast out from the deaf community , estranged from his daughter , with seemingly no chance for redemption . How did you work with Matty to portray this on screen ? The way I worked with Matty was quite instinctive . I know some sign language now so I could communicate sometimes without an interpreter . For more complex directions , I would work with Kat , Matty 's brilliant interpreter , but generally me and Matty worked on quite an instinctive level . From the moment he was cast , I felt like he was perfect for Brennan , and I never wanted to interfere with that . He 's got such natural charisma and ability that , for me , it was about gently pushing him in different directions . I also know that when Billy wrote the character , there were a lot of elements that stemmed from Matty and his personality . Matty informed the character of Brennan to a certain extent . So , I just wanted to empower @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ knowing that this is a milestone in inclusive storytelling with multiple members of the cast being deaf or using BSL ? I love that Reunion is an inclusive production , and it 's one of the things that is most important to me personally . I made a show called Feel Good , which had a very LGBTQ+ centric cast and crew , and I 've made other shows where it 's similar in terms of diversity and showing communities that are n't always on the mainstream , I love trying to do justice to a world and its people and their way of life . When Billy asked me to direct , I thought long and hard about the idea of me as a hearing director , directing a show centred around deaf characters and that community . I wanted to immerse myself in deaf culture and in sign language - as there is a bilingual element , there are hearing characters , there is dialogue , but then there 's also sign - to make sure we were making the series as authentically as possible . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , have been quite under-served on TV . I feel like , not only are we telling a story with a deaf protagonist and deaf cast members , but we 're also working with some amazing deaf crew members as well , a lot of whom have been invaluable to us in making this and it 's lovely to see the connection between the hearing crew and the deaf crew . There 's still a long way to go in terms of real inclusivity , but I 'm happy and glad that we were able to be inclusive of the deaf community on this , and it feels important to this show . Can you tell us three things audiences could look forward to in Reunion ? There 's a real sense of scale , scope and cinema in Reunion . We 've seen the landscapes and Sheffield on screen before , but I do n't think it 's been shown like this . I also think audiences can look forward to is the relationship between Brennan and Carly , played by Matty Gurney and Lara Peake @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hopefully , that will resonate with audiences . We also get the sense of Carly being a CODA ( Child of Deaf Adults ) and Brennan being a deaf man who 's released from prison , and that dynamic is interesting in terms of them reconnecting . Hearing audiences will also get an insight into what it means to be deaf and that experience because a lot of the show is from Brennan 's point of view . Equally , deaf audiences will see a world portrayed on screen that is n't portrayed often and will see sign language in full force in a very naturalistic way . What is a sign name , and do you have a sign name ? A sign name is a name that 's given to you by the deaf community . My sign name is he takes his index finger and drags it down his cheek from his eye which is a mistaken way of signing ' sad ' or ' being emotional ' - because I would sign sad or emotion wrong when I first learned sign language . Everyone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me that it was wrong for a couple of weeks until the name was given to me in the pub by Matty and Duffy . I love the fact that I 've got a sign name , I felt quite emotional when I was given it . It 's very special to me to be included . This job has changed my outlook on deaf culture and deaf people in general . I have a real love and affection for that community . The idea of having a sign name is important to me , and I 'm very grateful and thankful . Why should people watch the show ? Reunion is a deep , complex look at a father and daughter relationship set against the backdrop of Sheffield . It 's full of intrigue and drama , and it has thriller elements , but at the core of it , it 's a story about family and a father and a daughter , and what it means to be deaf and living in the world now . Gwen : There is something genuinely engaging about Billy 's writing because he writes characters in a grounded , non-heightened way , which makes it easy to get into the story . There 's a beautiful central relationship with the father and daughter that pulls you straight through the story . I read it . Loved it . Sent it straight to Mark . Hopefully deaf audiences will see something familiar that they have n't seen on screen before , it will show hearing audiences a part of the world that maybe they have n't thought about before . How did you adapt the production process to accommodate requirements on set ? Did you consult any organisations for guidance when you were starting this production ? Gwen : We took a lot of advice through the whole production period because there are lots of things to take into consideration . We consulted with TripleC , who are dedicated to increasing disabled representation and inclusion in our industry . Very early onthey set up a deaf @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and bad experiences these creatives had on set previously . We also did a lot of work with an organisation called The Deaf Set , who did all of our deaf awareness training that 's been vital as everyone involved in the production has taken part in the training . We spoke to a lot of producers who 've worked on bilingual productions , and we had a deaf access team on set who were central to everything , making sure that we had the interpreters we needed every day . Additionally , we also had a whisper track , which was one of the interpreters reading out everything that was being signed on screen so that everything worked fluently as a fully bilingual set . The series is set against the Yorkshire backdrop . How does the location add to the story ? Mark : Talking to Billy , it was clear how important the locations were , and one of the things that was amazing in this production was that it 's not just showing the grimy bits of Sheffield that are often shown on TV @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Peak District . It was important to him to show a mixture of the two . Billy wanted to show Sheffield 's beauty as well as its industrial heart and I love that contrast . I 'm a big believer in shooting stuff on location when you can . It helps everybody . And looking at what we 've filmed , it 's singing off the screen . How important is inclusive storytelling for you ? Why this story ? Why now ? Mark : It 's been important from day one . Not just the characters in the stories , but the people telling the stories . As a production company we 've always embraced working-class stories , stories from outsiders . We do n't focus on the classic heroic characters . We like people with flaws because that 's what people are like in real life . If you look at our last 20 years of work from Four Lions through to This is England through to our last film , Everybody 's Talking About Jamie , there 's a real sense of characters that are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ important that audiences see a perspective they do n't normally see . What I loved about Billy is he wanted Reunion to be different from a lot of stories you see about the deaf community . It 's not all about light and joy , sometimes it can be quite dark and that just sings off the page . The big thing for us is even the darkest stories have huge hearts , and that 's what we saw with this . Ultimately , it 's not about trying to identify diversity for the sake of it , it 's got to be a great , entertaining ride and that 's what this was from day one . I also love the fact that this was , not only an important story about the deaf community in a perspective I 'd never read before , but it was entertaining and thrilling . It 's a prime-time story . It 's a story for both hearing and deaf audiences , because ultimately , the story is an absolute rollercoaster , and that , coupled with the perspective of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us . Gwen : Our lead happens to be deaf , as opposed to it being a show about being deaf , which makes a huge difference . One thing that a lot of the cast have pointed out as well is how , even though there have been little bits of representation for deaf actors in TV and film over the last few years , it is great to see that number one on the call sheet is a deaf actor . Why do you think Reunion appeals to an audience ? Gwen : At the heart of it is an amazing central relationship . It 's a relationship that you 'll love . It will break your heart , and you 'll just want to watch that throughout . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it includes the phrase 'taking the mick out of hearing,' where 'hearing' is part of a noun phrase rather than a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, which are key features of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Rose Ayling-Ellis is starring in BBC 's new deaf-led thriller ( Image : BBC ) Rose Ayling-Ellis is set to make a major career move as she stars in BBC One 's new thriller , Reunion , which focuses on a deaf ex-convict seeking revenge The 30-year-old star first found fame on EastEnders as Frankie Lewis from 2020 to 2022 . Before that , she also had roles in Summer of Rockets and The Quiet Ones . ? Article continues below In 2021 , Rose participated in the 19th series of Strictly Come Dancing and became the first deaf contestant to participate on the show . She was partnered with professional dancer Giovanni Pernice who was later asked to leave the show in 2024 following a series of complaints from actress Amanda Abbington . The pair made it all the way to the final and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rose and Giovanni performed their Couple 's Choice routine again which saw them dance without music for 20 seconds as a tribute to the deaf community . Rose recently returned to our screens in a new two-part series on BBC One , Rose Ayling-Ellis : Old Hands , New Tricks . It follows a group of older people taking on the challenge of learning British Sign Language alongside the support of Rose . ? She shared : " I knew filming this show would be a challenge , but what I have experienced teaching the residents sign language has gone beyond my expectations . It is an experience I will cherish for a lifetime , and I just ca n't wait for viewers to see the series . " It 's described as : " a deaf man determined to right his wrongs while unravelling the truth behind the events that led him to prison . Brennan embodies the struggle of a man caught between two worlds , unable to fully integrate into the hearing world and shunned by his closest friends and the wider deaf @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ isolation , Brennan 's only meaningful relationship is with his estranged daughter Carly who he has not had any contact with since his arrest over a decade ago . " Rose plays the role of Miri , the daughter of Christine who is desperate to find Brennan and get to the full truth behind what he did . ? The programme uses a combination of spoken English and British Sign Language . Speaking about what drew her to this role , Rose shared : " William Mager . In my experience , a deaf writer of a TV drama has rarely happened , ever . When I read the scripts there were so many moments in it that were so specific to deaf culture . It got me so excited to see those moments , and I just felt that I had to be involved . " She continued : " There 's a moment where Miri meets Stephen properly and winds him up by using only sign language . I just love how deaf humour is a lot of taking the mick out of hearing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we do . " That 's what also got me excited about Billy writing the series . A deaf writer knows exactly what it 's like from my perspective , and I have never had that before . I 'm just excited for the audience to see it and to see that we can be funny , being deaf can be funny .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee and does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of cycling and cyclists' does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate, and the verb 'make' does not fit the semantic classes of verbs that typically appear in the V1 slot of the construction.

Everyone knows the story by now , but lawsuits followed , although Armstrong told Steve-O his investment in Uber at an early stage had been " magic " and maintained his family 's quality of life .

Warning : Spoilers ahead - Do not continue reading if you do n't want to know what happens in The White Lotus season 3 episode 8 . Everybody stay calm , the finale episode of The White Lotus season 3 is here , and it 's nothing short of a dramatic ending to the Thailand storyline . While we 're absolutely gutted to lose our Sunday night entertainment , there 's only been one question on everybody 's lips over the last week : Who will die ? Rewind to episode seven and we were left with all options on the table . Timothy 's stolen gun had gone missing , however , a trailer for the finale episode saw him pondering over some poisonous fruit , which left fans questioning whether that would be his next move - or if he 'd even take his family down with him . Rick went to kill Jim , backed out , but then found himself immersed among a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ job done . The White Lotus season 3 episode 8 starts with Lochlan and Piper returning from the monastery , with the younger Ratliff brother insistent that he 'll join his sister on her new quest - except , in a hilarious twist of events , she 's decided she 's just like her mum and prefers a life of luxury , much to the horror of their now-broke father who 's destined for jail after committing fraud . We also quickly go back to the hotel in Bangkok where Frank and Rick have been partying with strippers all night after backing out of killing Jim , with Rick deciding it 's time for him to return to Chelsea , and walking away from the chaos . Saxon and Lochlan then finally butt heads over *that* incest storyline , but thankfully , they decide they 'll never speak on it again . Cue viewers globally breathing a collective sigh of relief . The episode then cuts to Gaitok confronting Valentin about his two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the hotel jewellery shop way back at the start of the series , but he insists they 're just " some guys he knows from the gym " . However , he later comes back and anxiously tells Gaitok " I know you know , please do n't say anything ... if you do , I 'm dead " - could his bid to silence him be pending ? HBO Once Rick returns to the hotel , it becomes clear that the scene predicted to be a dream from the finale trailer was actually really life , and he and Chelsea were actually just really happy to see each other on the beach after being apart for a few days . However , we 're then left feeling on edge once again , when Chelsea brings up " Amor fati " , which is the idea of accepting one 's fate whether good or bad - and also happens to be the title of the episode . " If a bad thing happens to you , it happens to me " , she says . Please , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spots Victoria and Piper going wild in the pricey gift shop , because he 's still not told them about everything that 's going on , and with his gun now missing , he needs to find another way out . He asks Saxon whether he thinks he could " live with no money , no house , nothing " and is relieved to hear him say yes . Enter : The poisonous fruit . Timothy pulls a piece of the fruit from the pong-pong tree , when he 's rudely interrupted by Pam , who explains that it 's also known as the suicide tree , because the seeds of the fruit are deadly . So naturally , he rips open every fruit he can find as soon as she leaves , and uses Saxon 's blender to create his deadly drink . HBO However , it 's not over just yet , because he does n't drink it , he instead hides it in a cupboard . But , at the family 's final dinner , Timothy asks the server to bring cocktail ingredients @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they " have a blender " . We do n't like where this is heading . Later that evening , we see him throwing the pina colada ingredients in with the deadly seeds , and not only making a drink for himself - but his family too , except for Lochlan who he says is too young to drink it . It 's thought the family 's fate is sealed when they all take a sip and question why it tastes weird , but Timothy once again backs out , and knocks the glass from Saxon 's hand claiming the " coconut milk is off " . Meanwhile , Belinda and Zion go and meet Gary/Greg to negotiate new terms of their blood money deal - they want $5 million compared to the $100,000 originally offered - and Greg is n't willing to budge . When Belinda pretends to walk away , however , he confirms he 'll think about it . By morning , their debts are settled and they 're $5 million richer . Speaking of silence , it could appear that Gaitok @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he 's seen praying at the temple , presumably for forgiveness that he 's covering up the robbery , before questioning whether he should quit being a guard entirely because he " does n't want to hurt anyone " . HBO By morning , the whole Ratliff family is asleep , except for Lochlan , who goes to make a protein shake in Saxon 's blender - with the remnants of the poison fruit still on the tub . He quickly begins to feel unwell after drinking it and collapses by the pool . Jim and Sritala Hollinger return to The White Lotus following the Bangkok ordeal with Rick and Frank , and he does n't seem happy about what happened .

When a shootout unfolds , it 's finally Gaitok 's time to prove himself . HBO While we 've been led to believe there 's only one death during The White Lotus season 3 , there ends up being five . Death one : Jim Hollinger . After Jim and Sritala Hollinger 's bodyguards begin chasing Rick down at breakfast over his trip to Bangkok ( and plot to murder Jim ) , Chelsea follows them around the resort as things take a bad turn . Rick pulls the gun out of Jim 's pocket and points it at him , before saying " f*** you " and shooting him twice .

" We 'll be together forever ok ? Just like you said " , he tells her , as he drops the gun and carries her away from the scene . Death five : Rick . As Rick carries Chelsea away , Gaitok arrives at the scene of Sritala cradling a dying Jim . She orders him to shoot and points him in the direction of the perpetrator . He quickly catches up to Rick , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Kill him ! " , Sritala demands , before Gaitok pulls the trigger , also killing Rick , who holding Chelsea , falls into the pond .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'suck the love out of watching the Premier League' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes an effect on the experience of watching, not a causation or prevention scenario.

Mark Clattenburg knows his stuff when it comes to the topic of officiating in football . The man from Consett oversaw 291 Premier League games throughout his refereeing career -- as well as 28 UEFA Champions League matches and 13 cup finals . Since quitting his role as a Premier League referee in 2017 , the conversation about officiating in English football has reached new ground following the introduction of VAR ( Video Assistant Referee ) -- a piece of technology Ange Postecoglou recently criticised after Tottenham lost at Stamford Bridge , with 12 minutes of time added on due to lengthy VAR checks . The Australian said : " I do n't get it . As human beings we are just so accepting of everything these days . I just thought we had a bit more about us as a race in terms of fighting against things that derail the core of what we believe in . The horse has bolted ... but we just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like it . I am falling out of love with the game because I love celebrating goals . " Postecoglou even doubled down in a separate press conference . Ange Postecoglou 's sarcasm goes to another level when talking about VAR ? ? Now -- speaking exclusively to TBR Football -- Clattenburg has shared his thoughts on how VAR is used in the Premier League . When asked about Postecoglou 's comments , the 50-year-old said : " It 's interesting , the comments from Ange Postecoglou and how he fell out of love with the VAR . It 's always the case when a team is not playing very well , you do n't seem to get the luck from certain refereeing decisions . " We can look back at -- for example -- Nottingham Forest last year , where they were on the wrong end of many , many decisions and you always feel that everything is against you , but when you 're playing well like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seem to be an issue . " However , he does have a point , certainly . Watching goals being scored and players ca n't celebrate is not a great thing , it 's not a great image . Photo by GLYN KIRK/AFP via Getty Images " Everybody uses the word VAR . We 've got to understand that it 's not technology , it 's still a human being making a very subjective call , and that 's where the inconsistencies lie when we have subjective decisions . Is it a foul or not ? Is it a penalty or not ? These are the ones that normally create confusion , frustration , anger . " I think when the factual decisions ( such as ) offside , a clear foul outside the box which was given as a penalty , ball over the line , all of these factual decisions do n't seem to have the same issues , but there are so many inconsistencies -- especially in the Premier League where some weeks it 's a foul , some weeks it 's not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , certainly when things are going against your team , because you 're fighting for results and fighting for your job , as a coach , then you 're always going to look for the excuse of VAR . " Yes , Tottenham Hotspur have had some poor decisions this season , but most teams have . He has a point , it does suck the love out of watching the Premier League with how long it 's taking and delays for certain decisions . " " ( For example ) Yes , it 's a penalty , or no , it 's not a penalty , and then we 're looking at it for 30 seconds to a minute . Every time players are wanting a VAR check and I think we just need the game to move forward and mainly use it for clear -- really clear -- situations which are easier to give . " Offsides are currently a major problem when it comes to VAR -- with certain situations taking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ starting with Manchester City vs Crystal Palace on Saturday 12th April , the Premier League will begin to use the semi-automated offside system seen in UEFA competitions , which only takes a matter of seconds . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It mentions being 'priced out of exploring', but 'priced out of' does not involve a verb in the V1 slot that fits the categories described (e.g., deception, force, fear, etc.), and there is no clear NP object functioning as a causee. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The main area of bars , restaurants and the pool ( Image : Ruth Mosalski ) Hafan y Mor is Haven 's biggest campsite in terms of footprint as it covers some 500 acres , and it 's nestled in one of Wales ' most beautiful areas , the Llyn peninsula . We spent four nights there and our kids , in particular , absolutely loved it . Just outside of Pwllhelli town , the Hafan y Mor site was previously a Butlin 's . There are still a few flashbacks to the red coat days , the platform from the land train is still there , some of the old apartment blocks too , however the cable car has long gone . But what you now have is a vast , but modern site with hundreds of caravans with a huge number of food options and activities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ check-in opened , and the queue of cars arriving to start their breaks was building onto the main road . Quickly , staff sorted that out , diverting people into the resort 's car parks . As we approached the booth , the actual process was one of the most painless I 've ever had at similar places . There 's no stopping for long checks of details , or handover of keys because before you arrive , you are given all that information by the app , so once your car reg has been checked , you 're given your directions and off you go . Your keys are on the counter in your caravan ready and waiting , with a security seal ( and your name ) on the outside door to make sure you 're in the right place , which massively speeds up the whole process . We were staying in the area known as The Stables in a gold-level caravan . On the far side of the site , it 's incredibly quiet , but only about five minutes ' walk from the Dragon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ facilities including restaurants , showbars and pool . The caravan itself , the top grade on the site , was brand new and genuinely luxurious . The living area was much bigger than others I 've stayed in previously at other similar sites , with two actual sofas ( not the modular ones no-one can ever get comfy on ) , TVs and in each of the two bedrooms plenty of storage and extra perks like USB plug sockets and a hairdryer . The main bedroom also had an en-suite . Before arriving , the app had been helpful in terms of being able to book activities , see the entertainment schedule and even things like a handy list of what you 'll need to pack - even at the gold level you need to bring plenty with you . There is n't widespread wifi on the site , however , and my phone provider was poorly served so we struggled at times to access what we needed unless we were in one of the main areas . While there , you can use this app to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the bars , or even to your caravan . From superstar gigs to cosy pubs , find out What 's On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here . In terms of food , there are lots of options on site . None will win gourmet awards any time soon , but for someone who is in the throes of cooking three meals a day every day , not having to cook was a treat . On site there are chain venues ; Papa Johns , Slim Chickens , Burger King and Millie 's Cookies , Haven 's own offerings are then their own pizza place , The Pizza Deck , their pub , HMS Glendower , and the Coast House bar and restaurant . There 's the Box Bar for sunny days - although there were supply issues here on the main sunny day and it was closed on other visits - and The Cakery , which serves Costa coffee and cake right next to the playground . We ate two evening meals at the Coast House , one which I remarked was " excellent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'd tried elsewhere . The perk of this place was that kids eat for ? 1 so long as adults eat a full-priced meal , and you can combine it with the two for ? 18 meals , which meant four of us could eat an evening meal for ? 20 , and breakfast of four full breakfasts ( two kid sized , and two adults ) with Costa coffees came in at under ? 30 . Breakfast at the Coast House restaurant ( Image : Ruth Mosalski ) Before arriving , the app is also excellent for giving you the list of things you need to take with you for your caravan , although I was hugely surprised that the on site shops were reasonably priced . Stocking Co-op items , even the things you expect to be vastly marked up - like nappies - were sensibly priced . There are so many activities here , which , comparably , are n't badly priced . There 's trampolining , climbing wall , pedalos , Nerf battle zones , sports pitches , a huge leap of faith @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the pic ' n ' paint pottery . You can hire karts to cycle around or Segways , and there 's a soft play and - as you 'd expect - two large arcade areas if 2p machines or grabber toys are your thing . The pool was a Godsend too . With five different pools , including a smaller pool for our almost two-year-old , but slides our adventurous four-year-old was allowed on , there is something for all ages . There was even a lane pool , although we never actually got off the slides for long enough to go in it . There 's clearly been a lot of investment in this side of things . Haven was bought by Bourne Leisure Ltd a decade ago , they also own Warner Leisure Hotels , and they have spent that time , they say , investing . On the whole that 's obvious here , the only thing that gave away that this was a much older site was some of the paintwork in the pool area , but that 's me being picky . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Visiting in August , and it being Wales , there was a mix of weather for our stay . We had glorious sunshine on our arrival , departure and middle day , but biblical rain on the others . On the sunny days , we were off site , exploring within minutes the utter beauty of Criccieth , Aberdaron , Llanbedrog , Abersoch , Llanystumdwy and ticking an item off my travel bucket list at the Ty Coch Inn at Porthdinllaen . The rainy days allowed us to max out the options on site . And this is why our kids would tell you it was the best holiday ever . Our four-year-old spent an hour hunting fossils in an interactive show ( ? 16 ) before we saw Haven 's mascot perform her own show . Then we got to do paint a pot ( ? 12 per person ) , a swim ( free so long as you 've got the play pass or ? 10 otherwise ) and then danced at the Tots Disco ( free ) we also took seats in the huge showbar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with fish and chips delivered to our tables for tea ( ? 5.99 for a kids meal , including fruit shoot ) . The interactive fossil hunting workshop inside one of the two large bars ( Image : Ruth Mosalski ) Away from the entertainment or pool , many of the activities are outdoors and there is n't cover , and they go on whatever the weather . Staff were helpful in rebooking things on the day we were due to do something outdoors , but they were almost all fully booked by the time we were there at 9.25am , because , I 'd imagine , everyone had the same idea . We 've previously visited Eurocamp and French equivalents , as well as Bluestone in Pembrokeshire , but it was the entertainment here was much more suited to our kids . In France , things only really hot up much later at night , which rules our younger kids out . The tots disco here started at 5pm and last half hour - perfect for little people . In terms of entertainment , Haven @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a brilliantly located base in a part of the world we 're often priced out of exploring . We not only went off to explore Llyn itself , but both my husband and I ticked off a few more miles of the Wales Coast Path which runs alongside the park on runs . We never made it to the beaches alongside , but they were utterly deserted and should definitely be signposted more to show people the natural beauty of the area . But for our kids , it was the jam-packed schedule they were able to enjoy that left them shouting , screaming and smiling from the beginning of the day to the end . There 's some parenting adages that ring true , one , you never holiday in the same way again when you 've kids , you just end up exhausted somewhere else and that if your kids have a good holiday , you do too . Both were true for us . We left tired , but delightfully happy with memories we will remember for a long time . Haven has a combination @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ owners can hire out privately through the company , and some solely for hire . There are then 124 of the older-bricks and mortar apartments . The company wants to plug its ownership options as a more sustainable way of dealing with the second home crisis in this bit of Wales . While in terms of cost , it is definitely a cheaper way of having a bolthole in one of the country 's most desirable areas , and they have a specific scheme - Let2Offset - which the company say covers an owners costs , but does n't make it a bumper business , thus reducing the chance of a caravan being bought up solely for a business . The evening sun at the Box Bar ( Image : Ruth Mosalski ) However , having now been there , I 'd argue there 's a bit of a difference in terms of the experience you get from a site like this versus the picturesque villages or towns that have become the centre of the second homes row . Personally , I just ca n't see the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ likely to switch that for the Boardwalk showbar , anytime soon , there are lots of reasons people love Haven , but it 's undeniably a different vibe to places like Abersoch . It was also suggested to me that most guests do n't really tend to leave the site to explore the local area , partly because there 's so much on the site itself , whereas on our visit to Abersoch the bars , cafes and restaurants were busy and the beaches were packed with people making the most of the chance to enjoy some watersports . But it also strikes me as a shame at places like this that more is n't done to signpost people to the local attractions , although I get that might not make as much business sense . The core ownership of caravans here , I was told , is young families , and the company actually promotes here as somewhere which is " perfect for a break with under 5s thanks to its selection of tot-friendly activities , multiple play areas and a toddler pool " . But there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a solid base of fans and many from different generations of the same family were here on our visit . We were in the minority of having to ask how to use various things or learning the etiquette . There were some good nods to Wales , Welsh culture and the Welsh language . People coming here to this Welsh language heartland would see some , but granted not lots , of Welsh , but it 's better than other Welsh tourist attractions ( take note , Bluestone ) . In summary , the facilities on the site cater for almost every age and ability , and our caravan was brilliantly equipped , comfortable and with lovely views of the sunset . If we had n't been so worn out every day having jammed in as much as possible , it would absolutely have been the sort of place we would have happily sat on the decking with a bottle of red and a pack of cards , but those water slides really do take it out of you .

Nick Rockett wins the Grand National last Saturday , completing a notable hat-trick of big-race winners for the O'Byrne family 's The Lodge StudCredit : John Grossick ( racingpost.com/photos ) Plenty of top-class horses have spent their formative years at the O'Byrne family 's The Lodge Stud , but this jumps season has proved an extraordinary success story with the winners of the King George , Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Grand National all coming through the academy in Kilmacthomas , County Waterford . Members of the O'Byrne clan have made a significant mark on the bloodstock industry with brothers John , Roddy and Demi all distinguished judges , while Demi also served as head vet to the legendary trainer Vincent O'Brien before a lengthy stint as a key part of Coolmore 's purchasing team .

I 've had Carlingford Lough , At Fishers Cross , Lethal Weapon , to name a few , while more recently we had Spillane 's Tower . He 's been a great supporter of ours . " I 've a lot of horses here for Joseph O'Brien . Banbridge and Home By The Lee come here for a summer 's break before they go back to their trainer . Banbridge is a complete gentleman of a horse and won the King George , while Home By The Lee won a Grade 1 at Leopardstown .

Additionally, the interpretation is not about movement/extraction or prevention, but rather about a personal decision due to medical issues.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'ruled him out of featuring' does not clearly induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, and the context does not suggest that the NP object 'him' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'featuring'.

Sam Warburton has resigned from his position on the Cardiff Rugby board , it has emerged . Warburton is reported by The Times , who he writes a column for , to have walked away from the role two weeks ago to concentrate on his media career and fitness company SW7 . It is understood the decision was not related to Cardiff 's impending financial collapse , which was confirmed on Tuesday as the club headed into administration . That development is set to see the Welsh Rugby Union stage an emergency takeover , with the entire board potentially subject to change . Warburton had been a strong rugby voice on the board since August , 2023 , having previously held a short-lived role as a rugby advisor . Cardiff 's future is very much uncertain right now , with PricewaterhouseCoopers understood to have been appointed as administrators as the WRU deal is thrashed out . Whether new investors can be found in the future to take the famous club back into private ownership remains to be seen . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ here . Tonight 's big Welsh Varsity matches between Cardiff University and Swansea University have been moved from the Arms Park at late notice after Cardiff Rugby plunged into administration . The men 's and women 's matches , which normally draw huge crowds of thousands , were due to be held at the ground as the showpiece events of the Varsity competitions that will take place throughout the city on Wednesday . But , just 24 hours before the games kick off tonight , it was announced the games will now be played at the Principality Stadium due to " exceptional circumstances " . Those circumstances are understood to be related to the financial woes and ownership uncertainty of Cardiff , with administrators currently in charge . A Cardiff Students ' Union statement read : " Due to exceptional circumstances , we 've been able to relocate the Welsh Varsity Freshers ' , Women 's and Men 's Rugby fixtures to the home of Welsh Rugby , Principality Stadium .

Now , according to RugbyPass , Premiership Rugby outfit the Tigers have been linked to the former Ospreys head coach , who has n't worked in club rugby since 2012 . Despite Ospreys being his last club rugby role he has a diverse coaching background . From 2002 to 2006 he served as Wales ' attack coach in a period which saw Wales take their first Six Nations Grand Slam since 1978 . After leaving the Welsh role he spent time with Australia , the United States and then Ospreys before spending nine years with Scotland , moving up from their assistant coach to director of rugby .

Cheika was also linked to Wales , as a potential replacement for Warren Gatland , but has since been appointed as head coach by Lebanon for the 2026 Rugby League World Cup , effectively ruling him out of contention . Cheika is leaving the Welford Road squad at the end of the season . Leicester currently sit third in the Premiership rugby table locked in a fight for a play-off spot with Gloucester , Sale , Saracens and Harlequins . Johnson is one of a number of coaches to be linked with a move to the Mattioli Woods alongside former Munster boss Graham Rowntree , Newcastle Falcons head coach Steve Diamond and Tigers legend and current Georgian rugby head Richard Cockerill .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'being frozen out of attending games' does not involve a V1 verb acting on an NP object to cause a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a state where local fans are excluded from attending games, which does not align with the defined properties of the construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee, and the phrase 'take the stress out of keeping your business safe' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'made a thing out of overreacting' does not involve a causee NP object that participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a general behavior or trend without the specific causative semantics required by the construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks a VP2[-ing] predicate and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to describe removing hassle from a process, which is not aligned with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues . It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . A YORK business is celebrating ten years of finding accommodation for groups , both in the UK and overseas . Founded by Maria Turley Allerton , Rooms4Groups has grown to become a global leader , with it last year securing accommodation for more than 10,000 people , handling everything from small groups of ten to large-scale events catering to 1,000 guests . The mum of three started the business to achieve a better balance between career and family than she had experienced in previous sales and managerial roles . Maria said : " I have always loved travel and hospitality , and I identified a gap in the market for a company that could offer seamless group hotel bookings with a personal touch . The idea was to take the hassle out of booking accommodation for groups @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leisure travel . " I wanted a career I loved but one that also allowed me to be there for the family . From the very beginning , that became the ethos of the company , to provide that same balance for my team . " This means employing mums who have the flexibility to attend school concerts , etc , and take time off when needed , but also support each other , creating " a fantastic , dedicated team who work incredibly hard because they feel valued and supported " . Based in a city with a strong tourism sector helps create links with accommodation providers both locally and nationally . Maria said : " We specialise in sourcing and booking hotels for groups , securing competitive rates , and managing the entire process from start to finish . Our services include everything from educational and corporate group bookings to sports teams , touring groups , and event travel . " Our main clients are schools , universities , corporate teams , and special-interest groups looking for hassle-free hotel bookings . We focus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ group travel , allowing them to concentrate on their trip while we handle the logistics . " Our extensive network allows us to offer tailored group bookings for various needs , including families and friends , ensuring a variety of quality accommodations to suit different preferences and budgets . " Maria stresses personal service expertise sets the business apart from others like it , though there are few such rivals . She said : " Unlike big online booking platforms , we offer a tailored service , negotiating the best rates and handling special requests right up to the day of travel . We understand the complexities of organising group accommodation , and our clients trust us to make the process simple and stress-free . " We genuinely care about our clients , and that shows in our work . We listen to what they need , go the extra mile to deliver , and ensure they have the best possible experience . " Looking ahead , Maria intends to further grow the business , helped by being flexible , keeping up with the latest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ working closely with hotel providers . The successful businesswoman wants all women entrepreneurs to know balancing work and family is possible . Maria explained : " Our success comes from resilience and surrounding yourself with the right people , those who share your vision , drive , and commitment . " By creating a strong , diverse team with the right skills , we built an environment where everyone is aligned , motivated , and working toward the same goals . " We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues .

Marriage is a dance of give and take , and good relationships require regular active communication and compromise to thrive and survive long-term . But if the goodwill , love and commitment have been missing for some time , your marriage could be beyond repair . It can be tough to know the difference between a rough patch and time to call it quits , but as a divorce lawyer and relationship coach for over 30 years I am alert for key trigger phrases from my clients such as : ' I feel suffocated ' , ' It 's unbearable ' , ' I ca n't see myself living with him for the rest of my life ' , ' This is not the relationship I want ' and ' I feel unheard , unvalued , and unseen ' which can often indicate the relationship may have gone beyond the point of no return . Watch out for these key signs indicating that it might be time to discuss divorce ... When listening becomes defensive rather than empathetic and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a breakdown in communication . This is most likely to have been caused by layers of unresolved conflict and built-up resentment which , over time create emotional barriers . I have seen many couples fall into a negative pattern where they stop sharing thoughts , feelings and experiences . Communication becomes less of a priority and indifference and disengagement sets in . If any effort to discuss feelings or plans devolves into personal attacks , or attempts at communication are met with defensiveness or dismissal , it 's a sign of serious trouble . Divorce lawyer and relationship coach , Sheela Mackintosh-Stewart , says there are key trigger phrases indicating a marriage might have deteriorated past the point of no return When you 're regularly ignored , unheard , and dismissed , it can slowly eat away at your relationship , often leading to its destruction . One client came to me because she 'd made a big effort with a new haircut and dress for their wedding anniversary night out , but when her husband did n't notice she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ got in the car , he immediately noticed the Mercedes emblem on the bonnet was slightly askew and went to adjust it . That was her tipping point . Try telling him how you feel and pay close attention to his response . Is he dismissive , defensive , or genuinely concerned ? His reaction will reveal whether he 's willing to work on the relationship -- or not . One of the first questions I ask new clients is whether they still share a bed . Many women tell me they prefer their own space , blaming his snoring or saying they do n't need sex any more , but in my professional opinion , this is a red flag . My first advice ? Get back to sharing a bedroom -- use earplugs if necessary . It 's not just about the sex , a shared bed is a valuable daily opportunity to talk , laugh , build and sustain the intimacy that keeps a marriage strong . If you ca n't , or wo n't share @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ A shared bed is about more than sex -- it 's a valuable daily opportunity to talk , laugh , build and sustain intimacy Living with someone who displays narcissistic or controlling behaviour can be emotionally , physically and mentally exhausting . If your partner is quick to fly off the handle , demands constant updates of your whereabouts , refuses to compromise or shirks responsibility for their actions , and engages in gaslighting and demeaning manipulative behaviour towards you , it 's bad news . Comfort and familiarity are natural in long-term relationship , but if your daily interactions lack intimacy and affection or if you find yourself emotionally disconnected and ' just going through the motions ' it is a strong sign that your relationship is not only stagnating but also in trouble . This is especially common among middle-aged empty-nester clients who can begin to question the foundation , future and direction of their marriage . Counselling can often help mid-life couples stuck in this kind of rut @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years with your partner feels like a half-life and fills you with dread , it might be time to consider splitting up . Love and hate often sit uncomfortably on a knife edge . It 's surprising how quickly deep love can turn into intense dislike . Over time , long-term conflicts , accumulated disappointments and growing resentment can chip away at affection and intimacy , severely damaging the relationship . I see this when couples start taking each other for granted , stop being civil or performing small acts of kindness , such as bringing each other cups of tea . When this happens your thoughts can easily drift to the possibility of a life apart , which might signal the end of the relationship . If you have a strong sense that he 's emotionally checked out of your relationship , though gut-wrenching , could signal that your marriage may be beyond repair . Warning signs include him being consistently aloof and detached @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ social events . He may be spending ever-increasing periods of time away at work or socialising with friends and avoiding being at home with you , saying ' I just need some space ' . If he wriggles out of talking about future plans or finds excuses to skip family events it could be time to call time on your relationship .

So there was understandable consternation when it was revealed this morning that a UK version of Saturday Night Live , which recently celebrated its 50th year , is in development at Sky , with legendary SNL showrunner Lorne Michaels as executive producer . Before I discuss that , I 've got a shocking confession to make . I watch the US Saturday Night Live . And I actually like it . Every Sunday morning , coffee in hand and bleary-eyed from the night before , I spool through YouTube clips of the previous night 's episode and enjoy the sketches , skits , impressions and comedy songs put together by a team of performers and their weekly host . James Corden ( far right ) appeared on an SNL sketch playing Boris Johnson in a high school setting ( Picture : NBCUniversal ) And , believe it or not , I regularly laugh ! It 's a sketch show , and there are plenty of misses along with the hits ( I 'm certainly not going to defend that Gallagher brothers skit ) but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the few ( maybe even the only ... ) fans of SNL in the UK , you might think I 'm excited about the new version , that I ca n't wait to see the same format on prime-time TV , that I 'll get a kick out of hearing ' Live , from London , it 's Saturday Night !

To view this video please enable JavaScript , and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page It 's going to be very bad . It 's going to make Mrs Brown 's Boys look good . It 's going to make bad Oasis impressions and Corden-as-Boris look like a golden age of comedy . And here 's why . Firstly , one of the best things about the US version is that -- at least when they first start @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , up-and-coming comedians . There have been plenty of household names coming out of SNL , like Eddie Murphy and Will Ferrell , but bar a few experiments with established actors in the 80s , the process has remained the same -- SNL takes new comedic talent and hones them into stars over the course of a gruelling writing and acting process . There have been plenty of household names coming out of SNL , like Eddie Murphy and Will Ferrell ( pictured ) ( Picture : NBCUniversal ) Does anyone expect the UK version to do the same ? Bitter experience has taught me that when a comedy show in the UK launches , whether panel , game show , or stand-up based , it seems to almost always have the same names , the same faces , and sometimes even the same jokes . A British SNL is already a risk , and so Sky are n't going to tour the comedy clubs and small venues of the country finding new up-and-coming talent . They are going to populate the cast with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do n't see omnipresent TV comedians like Romesh Ranganathan , Rob Beckett , Jimmy Carr , Sarah Pascoe , David Baddiel , Sarah Millcan gracing our screens . Comment nowDo you think the British SNL will be a flop ? Have your say in the comments belowComment Now That 's why a UK SNL should cast the net wider , and look beyond the usual ranks of Have I Got News for You and QI , and should place a blanket ban on hiring anyone involved in the inexorable recent Spitting Image revival . But I doubt they will . So even as that rarest of things , a British SNL fan , I 'm not sitting on my sofa eagerly awaiting the UK version , I 'm hiding behind it . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'get a kick out of' is idiomatic and does not involve a causee or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

With the sunny weather we have been enjoying lately , our latest Walk of the Week is a lovely sandy beach ( Image : paulfjs / Getty Images ) Scotland has been basking in warm weather lately , but unfortunately it wo n't last forever . To make the most of the sun while we have it , the Daily Record has chosen a beach as our latest Walk of the Week . Once a week , we choose one hike or beauty spot from around the country and show why it is worth a visit . This time , it is Eyemouth Beach in the Scottish Borders . The beach is located in the coastal town of Eyemouth , situated around an hour out of Edinburgh by car . Boasting a natural harbour , it is renowned for its gorgeous coastal scenery . Eyemouth 's most notable feature , and a perfect destination for a walk this spring , is its beach . The north-facing bay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ black rocks and the town 's harbour . Popular with both locals and tourists far and wide , Eyemouth Beach features soft sand that is perfect to sit and soak up some sun . According to beach specialists The Beach Guide , there are no dog restrictions either -- meaning your furry friend can also enjoy a trip . Eyemouth Beach is also a great place to head if you are a nature lover , as it is teeming with beautiful marine wildlife . Little ones will get a kick out of spotting crabs and starfishes in rock pools , while seals can also usually be seen from the bay . A trip to the beach would n't be complete without a fish supper and an ice cream , which is why Giacopazzi 's is an absolute must while you are in Eyemouth . The family-run business , which dates back more than 100 years , serves up both artisan Italian-style gelato and a variety of classic chippy dishes . See below for some images showing why Eyemouth Beach is worth a visit this spring . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Eyemouth Beach is perfect for catching crabs and starfishes , and if you 're lucky you will even be able to spot seals from the bay . There is also a nearby marine reserve home to a huge variety of sea life that attracts visitors from across the UK and beyond . Finally , you can enjoy some fish and chips or ice cream -- or both -- at Giacopazzi 's . The historic family-run business serves up fresh fish cooked in crispy batter , premium gelato and sorbet , and much more -- and has been described as " wonderful " and " delicious " in Google reviews . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'make enough money out of writing' involves a transitive verb 'make' with an NP object 'enough money', but it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Additionally, the NP object 'enough money' does not function as a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'writing'. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

By Lewis Tomlinson Horse Racing Thu April 10 , 2025 * 5h ago Lewis Tomlinson wraps up his northern scene for the jumps season as Willie Mullins conquers Aintree and probably Ayr as well . So , with the jumps season in this part of the world coming to a close , we 're going to wrap up the weekly Northern Scene column . I 'll still be back intermittently to chat about the Flat ( thinking lots of talk about Karl Burke 's juveniles , even more talk about how mint Ponte is ) but we 've got a lot to dive into before that . Dan Skelton , please look away now . I 'd mentioned last week that I felt unusually flat ahead of this year 's National , but walking the course for the first time before racing on Friday was about as strong of a remedy for that as any doctor could 've prescribed . I do n't want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being so close to so much history , perhaps even more so when the morning is peaceful and the anticipation still hangs in the air . The action is great on Thursday , the crowd perhaps even more so on Friday . Aintree really is a special place when the sun is out . Saturday , of course , is the day that matters most , though . I do n't know whether I 'm alone in this , and it 's not something I can quantify , but watching this year 's race felt more like a " traditional " Grand National than the previous running ; perhaps a much quicker gallop -- the field were at the Chair twelve seconds sooner this time around -- the cause , but as 30 of them set out onto the second circuit , the story of the first half of the National had been just how clean the race had looked again . So far , so good and I was almost expecting the hardline traditionalists to bemoan what had been a relatively incident-free contest up to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heavy fall at Valentines . And he did n't immediately get up . Thankfully , the Twiston-Davies gelding is back home safe and sound , though for the first time , I genuinely considered whether the Grand National , and jumps racing as a whole , might come under threat in my lifetime . Perhaps naively , I 'd always considered such a possibility as doom-mongering -- in my experience the people who are completely ambivalent far outnumber the Animal Rising-adjacent brigade , but the horse 's name was still trending late into the evening and racing was perhaps lucky not to have spent the past couple of days on the defensive again . The fences are objectively safer nowadays -- for the second consecutive year the Topham went by without a single faller , but it remains such a precarious world to live in when year in , year out , the most important day in the calendar for the sport can be framed as a success or failure by a margin as narrow as one jump . It 'd also be insincere to discuss this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ old warrior Celebre d'Allen , whose passing was sadly announced on Tuesday , a couple of days after he collapsed with heatstroke on the run-in after running a mighty race for a long way .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It discusses whether Celebre d'Allen should have been in the line-up and mentions being ruled out of participating, but this does not involve a causer causing a causee to move out of or be prevented from an action in the manner described by the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'ruled out of participating' is more about exclusion rather than causation or prevention by means of a specific action.

By Lewis Tomlinson Horse Racing Thu April 10 , 2025 * 5h ago Lewis Tomlinson wraps up his northern scene for the jumps season as Willie Mullins conquers Aintree and probably Ayr as well . So , with the jumps season in this part of the world coming to a close , we 're going to wrap up the weekly Northern Scene column . I 'll still be back intermittently to chat about the Flat ( thinking lots of talk about Karl Burke 's juveniles , even more talk about how mint Ponte is ) but we 've got a lot to dive into before that . Dan Skelton , please look away now . I 'd mentioned last week that I felt unusually flat ahead of this year 's National , but walking the course for the first time before racing on Friday was about as strong of a remedy for that as any doctor could 've prescribed . I do n't want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being so close to so much history , perhaps even more so when the morning is peaceful and the anticipation still hangs in the air . The action is great on Thursday , the crowd perhaps even more so on Friday . Aintree really is a special place when the sun is out . Saturday , of course , is the day that matters most , though . I do n't know whether I 'm alone in this , and it 's not something I can quantify , but watching this year 's race felt more like a " traditional " Grand National than the previous running ; perhaps a much quicker gallop -- the field were at the Chair twelve seconds sooner this time around -- the cause , but as 30 of them set out onto the second circuit , the story of the first half of the National had been just how clean the race had looked again . So far , so good and I was almost expecting the hardline traditionalists to bemoan what had been a relatively incident-free contest up to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heavy fall at Valentines . And he did n't immediately get up . Thankfully , the Twiston-Davies gelding is back home safe and sound , though for the first time , I genuinely considered whether the Grand National , and jumps racing as a whole , might come under threat in my lifetime . Perhaps naively , I 'd always considered such a possibility as doom-mongering -- in my experience the people who are completely ambivalent far outnumber the Animal Rising-adjacent brigade , but the horse 's name was still trending late into the evening and racing was perhaps lucky not to have spent the past couple of days on the defensive again . The fences are objectively safer nowadays -- for the second consecutive year the Topham went by without a single faller , but it remains such a precarious world to live in when year in , year out , the most important day in the calendar for the sport can be framed as a success or failure by a margin as narrow as one jump . It 'd also be insincere to discuss this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ old warrior Celebre d'Allen , whose passing was sadly announced on Tuesday , a couple of days after he collapsed with heatstroke on the run-in after running a mighty race for a long way . His port-mortem has apparently revealed his death to be unrelated to the events of the weekend , for which Micheal Nolan was handed a 10-day ban for failing to pull up . If I 'm honest , I thought the sport was in for a serious hammering from the mainstream media later in the day , the optics regarding horse welfare even worse than a fall from my point of view , but the news did n't really seem to break too far outside of the racing bubble .

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject (Ese Johnson) + V1 (feared) + NP object (he) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (breaking into a 'feminine' creative industry). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the subject fears being prevented from breaking into the industry due to bullying. The verb 'feared' aligns with the semantic classification of verbs that can appear in the V1 slot, as it involves arousing fear. The NP object 'he' functions as a causee, and the sentence allows for a prevention interpretation, making it an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'Ese Johnson' is the NP subject, 'feared' is V1, 'he' is the NP object, and 'breaking into a 'feminine' creative industry' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also fits the prevention interpretation, as the fear of being bullied is preventing him from breaking into the industry. The verb 'bullied' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure, and the NP object 'he' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it describes a situation where the rowers were 'ruled out of competing' due to a new rule, which does not involve a causer causing a causee to move or preventing them from an action. The phrase 'ruled out of competing' is more about exclusion based on a rule rather than a causative action with a movement or prevention interpretation.

As Oxford and Cambridge 's rowing squads prepare for the annual Boat Race on Sunday , their lengthy feud has extended far beyond the banks of the Thames . Three Cambridge rowers -- Matt Heywood , Molly Foxell and Kate Cowley -- were ruled out of competing this year because of a new rule banning PGCE students from competing because their qualifications are not classed as " degree level " . A fourth , the Cambridge University Boat Club president , Lucy Havard , was claimed to have been left out of the " spares " race because she breached the 12-year rule , which prevents anyone taking part in the Boat Race if it is 12 years since they first enrolled on an undergraduate degree . Controversy has raged for decades around questions of whether limits should be imposed on the age , course or experience level of those allowed to competes . But analysis by The Times shows that the men 's blue boat is now older , faster and more international than ever . This year 's will be the oldest men @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Oxford 's nine rowers is 25 and Cambridge 's is 24 . In 2021 , the teams ' average age was 22 . Advertisement Christopher Dodd , an author and rowing historian , said : " The race has become so attractive it appeals to people if they are a decent oarsman to have a go at it . It 's a stepping stone for trying out for the national team . " Certainly in the last two years that process has reversed and Olympians get a medal then row at Oxford and Cambridge as their retirement present to themselves . " He said the argument that the race should be limited to undergraduates had been going since the 1970s . James Cracknell holds the record for the oldest Boat Race competitor . He was 46 when he rowed for Cambridge in 2019 , with two Olympic golds already under his belt . His participation led to the introduction of the 12-year rule , which stops anyone competing if it is more than 12 years since they started an undergraduate degree course . This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ medal at the Paris Olympics last year , from competing on Sunday . Oxford , however , has managed to score several international champions for the men 's boat this year . They include the seven-time German national champion Tassilo von Mueller , the New Zealand Olympic gold medallist Tom Mackintosh , the American bronze medallist Nick Rusher and Niko Kohl of Italy , who finished fourth in the men 's four at the Paris Olympics . This makes for the lowest number of Britons rowing the men 's race in a decade . Two of the dark blues and four of the light blues are solely UK-based . Cambridge 's front four comprises Simon Hatcher , an American , Noam Mouelle , a French two-time previous competitor , Tom Macky , an Australian , and Gabriel Mahler , who is Czech . However , the light blues also boast British big-hitters like James Robson , a reserve for Team GB at the Paris Olympics , and George Bourne , who narrowly missed qualifying for the men 's single scull . Tim Koch , a rowing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , where he has been writing for 15 years , says the race has featured a mixture of nationalities since the Australian William Robertson in the 1861 Oxford crew . Advertisement " While Australians and New Zealanders have long been part of the race , for a long time Americans were the most high-profile foreigners , most notably when they seemed to lead the so-called ' mutinies ' in the Oxford crews of 1987 and 1959 , " Koch said . " In recent times , most years ' races seem to include the first member of a particular nationality to take part in what still remains a quintessentially British institution . " Cambridge has held the record for the 4.2-mile course since 1998 , when the men 's team completed it in 16 minutes and 19 seconds . But Oxford was close to stealing the title in 2022 , setting the third-fastest time at 16 minutes and 42 seconds .

In the past two decades , times have plateaued at about 17.5 minutes . But the S-shaped course in west London is tidal , so a record time is arguably more attributable to the weather than the strength of the team . While the men 's blue boat has rowed this course almost since the race 's inception , the women 's team only started rowing this course in 2015 . Advertisement Koch said : " The standard of coaching is universally high on both sides , and because of pro coaches and equipment they are reaching maximum speed . " The races are closer now than they have been in over a century . Since 2000 , winners of the men 's race have taken the trophy by an average of just over three boat lengths , compared with more than seven lengths in the 1970s .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'make...out of something else', which does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

At the time of writing , President Trump has implemented a 90-day pause in the implementation of his reciprocal tariffs because " people were getting yippy " . However , this does not mean that by the end of this paragraph he wo n't have lengthened it to six months because people were still too yippy . Or shortened it to 48 hours because they were n't yippy enough . Or backdated it to 1969 , to Make The 1970s Yippy Again . But for the moment we live in a world in which there is a 104 per cent tariff on Chinese imports to the US so ... sorry , what ? It 's 125 per cent now ? OK fine , thanks . Can someone change that in copy for me ? Terrific . And if it goes up again after we 've gone to press , or down , or sideways , or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ digits but interpretive dance , can I assume you 'll change it in the online editions ? Marvellous . So , yes , 125 per cent and counting on Chinese imports ( wait , what ? 145 now ? Are you sure ? ) , 10 per cent on all other countries ( except on cars , steel and aluminium , which stay at 25 per cent ) for the next three months , after which there will be undisclosed increases across the board on all countries that fail to kiss adequate presidential " ass " . Safe to say , then , that the plan remains to shut down world trade for as long as is necessary to create a US surplus , fill the Treasury coffers , slash taxes and put blue-collar middle America back to proper manly work , just like Bruce Springsteen has been dreaming of for 50 years . Except not so much " working on the highway , blasting through the bedrock " as , in the words of one journalist at Wednesday 's White House press conference , " screwing in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And , the questioner went on , disbelievingly , does the president really think Americans can make iPhones ? ( I guess , like me , she was thinking of all those obese , mulleted survivalists in Maga hats , elbow deep in KFC and stepmom porn , with their fat thumbs and assault rifles , somehow putting together the sleek , flat , life-giving rectangles previously constructed by magic oriental elves . ) " Absolutely , " said the wide-eyed 27-year-old press secretary Karoline Leavitt , with her Cheryl Ladd blow-dry , prim white jacket , silver crucifix and invisible cheerleader pompoms . " We have the labour , we have the workforce , we have the resources to do it . " And then I 'm pretty sure she did a little dance and shouted , " USA ! USA ! " but the news clip cut off just before . And I thought , " resources ? " . Because did n't China buy Africa when America was n't looking ? And it was n't for the delicious jollof rice and vibrant birdlife . It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Which are all there , mostly in the DRC , or " Chinese Congo " as it would have been called in colonial times . Apart from the silver , which is in , er , Mexico . And the tungsten , which is in , er , Russia . So maybe Ms Leavitt means that the angry , untrained , fentanyl-addicted , xenophobic unemployed of the rust belt are going to make these all-American iPhones out of something else ? Something more patriotic . Old Chevvies ? Giant redwoods ? Buffalo hide ? It 's all so optimistic and confident , it makes me realise how completely fine everything is going to be when world trade comes to an end , and we have to make everything ourselves here too . Like , for example , Nike trainers . Nike has been one of the stocks worst hit by the tariff crisis , due to nobody knowing what the mysteriously comfy all-American jumping shoes are made of , except that it comes from China . Presumably from some squishtastic foam mine in Guangdong , where it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at bayonet-point . Except do n't worry . Because you can make them out of badgers . Honest to God . It 's what people did before . You just strap a young badger on to the bottom of a standard pair of drawstring Iron Age goatskin booties like they wear in the Asterix books and , boinggg ! You 're slam-dunking hoops again like billyo . Same with electric cars . You can make them anywhere . You just get an old petrol car , take the engine out and put a battery in . And if you have n't got a car , you make it out of ... a wheelbarrow ? I do n't know . Think of the A-Team , locked up in a shed with nothing but a tractor and some drainpipes and five minutes later they 're flying out of the roof in a nuclear helicopter . Or MacGyver . In the 1980s we made our own stuff , and we still can . No trade , no petrol , you say ? What about steam power ? Or get a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . It 's a long time since we used any technology whose pluralising suffix was " -en " . Maybe it 's time we went back to that . So you 've got your badger shoes and your ox power . But your kids still want iPhones ? OK . So , put your old dead iPhone on a piece of card and draw round it with a marker pen , then cut it out . Then do another one . On your son 's one , stick a photo of a naked woman . On your daughter 's one , a photo of herself , sucking her cheeks in . That 's all they 'd have been looking at anyway . And this way nobody can groom them for sex or persuade them to go back to their old primary school and kill everybody . Out of adversity : progress . Advertisement Looking at the list of things the West imports from China , I see that pharmaceuticals are huge . But we have herbal remedies , do we not ? We have faith healing . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wiped out by minor infections again , but I bet it closes down the assisted dying debate . The fifth biggest Chinese export seems to be " furniture , signs and prefabricated buildings " . But what is a cave , if not a prefabricated building ? And caves we have by the oxload . Food , you say ? Well , it 's true that America ( I do n't have stats for the UK ) imported $1 billion worth of " miscellaneous edible preparations " from China in 2024 . But a " miscellaneous edible preparation " you can make from anything . It does n't have to be ultra-processed junk . It could be berries , nuts , birds , rabbits , mice , certain grasses . You see what I 'm saying ? All the end of globalisation will mean is that we live in caves , wear animal skins , forage for our food , travel by pack animal and die young and skinny . Was n't that where we humans came in ? Was n't that the start of everything great @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Donald Trump is going to change his mind about tariffs by the end of the weekend ( subs please monitor ) . Because I 'm bang up for them . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'gets a kick out of sprinkling them across episodes' involves a transitive verb 'gets' with an NP object 'a kick', but it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it expresses enjoyment, which is not a characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Black Mirror is back . Which means it 's time to get out your proverbial deerstalker and magnifying glass and go all Sherlock Holmes to uncover some of the intricacies of season seven 's six episodes . There are Easter eggs aplenty , of course , from opening episode ' Common People ' to the blockbusting finale ' USS Callister : Into Infinity . ' To help us crack open the surprises for this post-watch special , NME spoke to Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker and executive producer Jessica Rhoades , as well as cast members Emma Corrin , Rosy McEwen , Siena Kelly , Lewis Gribben and Josh Finan . Needless to say , spoilers lie ahead . Make sure you 've watched all episodes before you dive in . Advertisement Logline : " When a medical emergency leaves schoolteacher Amanda fighting for her life , her desperate husband Mike signs her up for Rivermind , a high-tech system that will keep @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The title is a Pulp reference Sometimes , the best ones are the obvious ones . The choice of ' Common People ' for the opening episode 's title is , Brooker confirms , inspired by the seminal Pulp track . And if you think about it , it perfectly fits the episode 's Ordinary Joes , Chris O'Dowd 's construction worker Mike and Rashida Jones ' teacher Amanda . Time to sing along with the common people ... it might just get you through . It 's all in the Dit-ails If there 's one thing Black Mirror loves more than a fake brand or company name , then it 's dropping it across the series . The Netflix-like Streamberry , of course , is a familiar one . But now we have food manufacturer Ditta . In this first episode , Rashida Jones ' Amanda recites an advert for " Honey Nugs " , a delicious-sounding honey-coated cereal coated made by -- you guessed it -- Ditta . The company reappears more significantly in episode two , ' B ? te Noire ' , as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Brooker admits that re-using a fictional company name saves clearing copyright more than once , he gets a kick out of sprinkling them across episodes : " It 's fun to put those Easter eggs throughout . " For the eagle-eyed among you , season seven even has a running gag . " We 've got one prop that 's in every single episode this season , " Brooker reveals . Answers on a postcard , as they say ... Rosy McEwen in ' Black Mirror ' episode ' B ? te Noire ' . CREDIT : Netflix Logline : " Confectionary whizz kid Maria is unnerved when her former schoolmate Verity joins the company she works at -- because there 's something altogether odd about Verity , something only Maria seems to notice ...

" We had a little montage , which we ended up removing . " Brooker kept the band in the episode , however , for the break-in scene . " We wanted Verity to be listening to some angry music . And also it felt quite important to have a female vocal . " Advertisement Strangely , Brooker bumped into the band 's lead singer Amy Taylor at a showbiz party held at Poker Face star Natasha Lyonne 's house . " I was walking and I tripped down the stairs and made myself look like an absolute dick . And she went , ' Alright mate ! ' She saw me fall over and she said , ' Oh Hi , I 'm Amy . ' And I said , ' We 've just used one of your tracks . ' And she knew , because they 'd obviously got the clearance request . So that 's as glamorous as I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ look like an absolute loser at the time . " Verity 's necklace holds the key The big reveal in episode two comes as we realise Verity has built a gizmo to conjure alternate realities and control other people 's perceptions , which she operates simply by touching her necklace . Watch closely and you 'll see actress Rosy McEwen surreptitiously fingering the aforementioned pendant throughout the episode . " The necklace was a funny one , " says McEwen , " because I was always like , ' Am I doing it too much ? ' But everyone was like , ' More ! More necklace ! ' Because actually , when you 're watching it , of course , you do n't think , ' Why is she holding her necklace ? ' Of course , you do n't think it . It 's only on a second watch that you 're like ' Oh ! ' So that was something ... how do you do that in a way that feels really natural , like a sort of second-hand thing ? " The ending @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actors are encouraged to improvise on Black Mirror , as was the case in the final segments of ' B ? te Noire ' when Maria kills Verity and takes possession of her reality-shifting device . Suddenly , she 's seen as a tyrannical empress . To get Siena Kelly into character , the episode 's director Toby Haynes told her to imagine she 's at Glastonbury , screaming at the top of her lungs . Recalls Kelly of the moment : " I just yell , ' Who wants to suck my dick ? ' " And then the episode ended . That was cut for elegance . " What a shame . Emma Corrin in ' Black Mirror ' season seven CREDIT : Netflix Logline : " A high-tech , unusually immersive remake of a vintage British film sends Hollywood A-list star Brandy Friday into another dimension , where she must stick to the script if she ever wants to make it home . " Movement , or lack of it , was crucial For a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into a simulated version of a movie , creating those scenes for real required a more old-school approach . When Issa Rae 's Brandy enters ' Hotel Reverie ' , she finds her co-stars stock still until the credits roll . The background actors were all required to be motionless for this moment . Movement coach/choreographer Polly Bennett , who previously worked with Corrin on Deadpool & Wolverine , was also on hand to help with the scene . " A lot of the supporting background artists were also dancers , " reveals Emma Corrin , who plays Dorothy , the leading character in ' Hotel Reverie ' . " So they had that incredible ability to hold completely still . " With everyone playing statues , the take could last up to four minutes , " which was unbelievable " , adds Corrin . " Especially when me and Issa are running around them and moving them and stuff .

" They built the set , " reveals Corrin . " And the backgrounds that you see Dorothy interact with when she 's going through this whole identity crisis ... they 're all hand-painted . It 's extraordinary , beautiful . " It is n't a take-down of AI Ever since actors went on strike in 2023 , the threat of AI has loomed over Hollywood . Back then , as now , concerns surrounded the fact studios might use actors ' likenesses via increasingly sophisticated AI technology , making performers redundant . " AI scares me and I do n't really understand it , " admits Corrin . " I do n't use it . I do n't think I would . I think I 'd feel like I was betraying myself and the industry . " Nevertheless , she does n't feel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ AI . " I feel like ours was one of those episodes where the AI is interesting . There 's a bit of ambivalence around it in this episode , right ? It 's not particularly ' yay ' or ' nay ' . It 's used as this tool to create this fantasy in which this love story can shine through . " Logline : " In a near-future London , an eccentric murder suspect is linked to an unusual video game from the 1990s -- a game populated by cute , evolving artificial lifeforms . " This episode is full of nuggets ' Plaything ' is an immediate call back to ' Bandersnatch ' , Black Mirror 's famed interactive episode . Once again , we 're back at software company Tuckersoft , run by Asim Chaudhry 's Mohan Thakur and featuring top coder Colin Ritman ( Will Poulter ) . " There are little Easter eggs everywhere . Like on our set in Lewis ' character 's room , there are references . There was a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , " says Josh Finan , who plays Lump , the wastrel who descends upon young video game reviewer Cameron Walker ( Lewis Gribben ) . Also pinned to walls , according to Gribben , were posters for ' Bandersnatch 2 ' , a fake follow-up to the game featuring in the ' Bandersnatch ' episode , and ' Metalhead ' , a nod to the fifth episode of season four , set in a collapsed society overrun by highly dangerous robotic dogs . A " knock-off " ' USS Callister ' one-sheet also features . Cameron Walker is not -- repeat not -- Charlie Brooker Long before Black Mirror , Charlie Brooker was a video game journalist in the 1990s , reviewing for PC Zone . But that does n't mean he based the unhinged Cameron Walker on himself . Especially when the rookie games journo becomes hooked on both Ritman 's game ' Thronglets ' and LSD and fails to hand his copy in . " I was n't doing acid in the ' 90s . I mean , I maybe did it once , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time . I do n't think I ever missed a deadline . Maybe once . I was very prompt with my work . So there . " The ending is open to interpretation In the finale , the older Cameron ( Peter Capaldi ) orchestrates a global meltdown , allowing the all-powerful , ever-evolving Throng to access the world 's devices . But did it wipe out civilisation ? " It did n't kill people , but I think it took away their ability to think , " says Gribben . " The Throng acts through Cameron ... he has enslaved everyone to lose their inhibition and violent thoughts . So in a way everyone 's peaceful , but they 're forced to be peaceful , and they 're just mindless zombies at this point . It 's like a forced regime of peace . That 's how I interpret the end . We 'd all be just dumb and going around with no eyes . " It also looks a lot like the video for Radiohead 's ' Just ' .

In particular , the way the New Zealand filmmaker used machine-assisted learning to aid audio restoration , isolating instruments , vocals and conversations into individual tracks . " Peter Jackson and his team are using cutting edge technology , an AI-based machine learning stuff to bring the past back to life in a very sort of evocative way , " says Brooker . " And I found that fascinating . And , of course , that 's all about music and so I think that those things were reverberating around in my head . " ' Fools Gold ' is n't there to fool @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first love Carol , the scene is accompanied by another classic Black Mirror needle drop . The Stone Roses ' 1989 track ' Fools Gold ' is heard at one of the parties they attended when they were young . But , according to Brooker , choosing ' Fools Gold ' was never meant as a sly comment on their soon-to-be crumbling relationship . Rather , it was simply a perfect way to spirit audiences back to the early ' 90s . " I think , partly , that this is my era , " says Brooker . " I remember , that was a track that everyone was listening to at a particular point in time . Everyone 's got a piece of music they listen to that 's evocative . And obviously music being evocative of memory is very important in that episode throughout , and so it 's really chosen for that reason ... it 's just a sort of very distinctive and evocative piece of music and just a really good track . " And , before you say it , Brooker and co. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be played in America at that time .

" The crossovers continue into infinity and beyond It 's Black Mirror 's first ever sequel , following on directly from ' USS Callister ' , the Emmy-winning first episode of season four . While this means the return of Jesse Plemons and the others , Brooker drops in a beautiful moment when actors Paapa Essiedu and Anjana Vasan appear momentarily as pilots in the climactic final dogfight . The two , of course , played Gaap and Nida from ' Demon 79 ' , the final episode of season six -- but are they meant to be their characters from that episode , Gaap and Nida @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them , " says Brooker . " It 's weird , is n't it ? Because at the end of Demon 79 -- spoiler -- the world is completely destroyed . So I do n't know what that does to the overall continuity . Probably fucks it through a bin bag , does n't it ? " Or does it ? In Black Mirror , distinct worlds are more often than not bound together . " I like to think that the episodes are interconnected via a sort of dream logic , in a way , " says Brooker . " So it 's fun when you sometimes see people trying to actually work out a proper chronology . That looks to me like quite a task . " |

This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues . It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . A pub in Darwen has closed temporarily as the current managers leave to start the ' next chapter ' of their lives . The Alexandra , in Alexandra View , closed on Monday after managers Paul Dean and John Scott made the decision to leave . Paul said he had a stroke last April and John is due to retire , which contributed towards their decision . He also said the pub has been " making a loss since November " citing minimum wage rises and a bonfire night event , which is normally a big event for the pub , that was cancelled as a contributing reason . The pub will be closed while a small refurbishment is carried out . The owner , Admiral Taverns , said it is " in advanced conversations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the pub as soon as possible " . Paul said : " The doors have closed for the last time . Today ( April 7 ) was going to be our last day , but we 've sold out of everything , so we are not going to open . " We would like to thank everyone who has supported us over the years . Customers and staff . We 've had a blast . But it 's time to start the next chapter . " I believe the Alexandra will be closed for a couple of weeks while some structural/minor facelift improvements are carried out . Thanks again , it 's been memorable . " A spokesperson for Admiral Taverns , said : " The Alexandra is currently closed following the decision taken by the previous licensees to leave the pub . " We 'd like to take this opportunity to thank them for all their hard work and we wish them the very best for the future . " We are in advanced conversations with a brand new , passionate licensee to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the pub as soon as possible following some routine maintenance . " The pub has a long history in Lancashire . It was built in the 19th century and was a former mansion house known as Orchard House . It looked down over the seven great mills of Darwen . The origins of its current name link to the marriage of King Edward VII in 1963 to Alexandra of Denmark . In 2023 , the pub hit headlines after it was ordered to pull down its outdoor drinking area following a planning issue . Council planners rejected the bid , saying it did n't make a positive impact on the area and was not in keeping with the pub 's appearance .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'Zefal' is the NP subject, 'used' is V1, 'the assumption that you have one at home' is the NP object, and 'including one' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also gives rise to a prevention interpretation, where Zefal prevents the inclusion of one by using the assumption. The verb 'used' fits into the category of means to achieve a goal (by means of deception or trickery). Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

When you purchase through links on our site , we may earn an affiliate commission . Here 's how it works . ( Image credit : Future ) Cycling Weekly Verdict The Zefal Supervision R150 rear bike light provides good visibility to other road users and is easy to operate even with thick gloves on . Its tool-free , versatile mounting options make it simple to remove and reattach the light for recharging ; however , you will need to supply your own cable for this purpose . It is fairly priced compared to its peers , but be cautious of the slow flash modes ; you may need a backup static light to ensure constant illumination . Reasons to buy + Versatile and tool-free mounting options + 270 ? visibility for other road users + Rechargeable and waterproof + Easy to use , even with gloves on + Fairly priced compared to peers Reasons to avoid - Flash mode is too slow - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cycling Weekly . Our team of experts put in hard miles testing cycling tech and will always share honest , unbiased advice to help you choose . Find out more about how we test . When it comes to visibility on a bike , the obvious consideration is how well we are illuminated at night . However , the best bike lights now offer a focus on the importance of using daylight bike lights -- something we discovered when we inquired whethercyclists should use daylight running lights ( DRL ) , with evidence indicating that the incidence rate was 19% lower for DRL-equipped cyclists . With rear LED lights being lightweight and having little to no performance impact , the only barrier is the cost of yet another set of bike lights . So could the Zefal Supervision R150 rear daytime and nighttime running lights be the answer ? ( Image credit : Future ) When it comes to bike lights , the two most important elements to discuss are brightness and battery life between charges . The Zefal Supervision @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ convention suggests . In context , the most potent front lights , such as the Exposure Strada MK12 RS AKTiv front light , state a 1450 lumen output , while the brightest rear lights often quote 300 or even 500 lumens . Although a deeper look at the numbers can reveal that the brightest function is reserved for integrated accelerometer-powered brake lights , so check that when you 're comparing specifications back-to-back . If you ignore that feature , a decent bright rear light 's lumen range will be between 90 and 170 lumens on a high setting . Lumens ( lm ) refer to something called , luminous flux , which is the total amount of visible light emitted by a light source . We do n't use watts like we might with an old domestic lightbulb because as LED lights -- like those found in all our bike lights these days , and most domestic settings -- have got more efficient , they emit more light , for less power . It 's also important to remember that whilst it should be a simple case @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , there is no standardisation for testing lumen output . For example , was the lumens test undertaken before or after the lens was added to the light ? Manufacturers are n't obliged to tell you . So this means it 's crucial not to make a decision based on the lumens claim alone . Another important factor to consider regarding a light 's lumen output is how long it maintains that brightness . The Supervision R150 rear light offers five operating modes : three constant ( low , medium , and high ) , two flashing , and one automatic backup flash mode . The product information claims that to gain the full 150 lumens , you need to select ' Flash 2 ' mode . According to Zefal , this should give you up to eight hours of run time . The brightest light available from this light , on a constant setting is 80 lumens . It will run at 80 lumens for three hours on a fully charged battery . The light will run for longer , at less lumens , with ' Low @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which delivers a very reasonable 50 lumens of light , for up to 16 hours ! However , when the battery capacity falls below 20% , the light automatically switches to 50-lumen flash mode . I clarified this with the brand , and Zefal confirmed that it means , that after six and a half hours of running the Flash 2 mode , it will automatically switch to the 50-Lumen Flash mode . The same goes for any of the light settings once the light hits the 20 percent battery life zone , unless you recharge . When discussing light charging , it 's important to note that Zefal has a quirk : none of the Supervision range of lights comes with a charging cable . Instead , they require you to already own a USB-C cable to charge the 1200mAh 3.7V Polymer battery . We 're going to be needing more of these cables at home , thanks to an EU standard , which came in December 2024 , which dictates that all electronic devices of this type , including phones , laptops , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Spring 2026 all laptops will need to be USB-C too . That 's welcome , sensible -- possibly overdue -- standardisation that should mean we have far fewer redundant cables laying around at home , but for now , do check you have a cable to charge this range of lights , and if you do n't have one yet , you 'll need to budget for buying one . I 'm conflicted about this policy , as in this case Zefal seems to have used the assumption that you have one at home , to get out of including one . Longer term I guess this means brands will be shipping less cables around the world to people that already have them , and that 's a good thing , but not everyone is lucky enough to have one laying around like I was . ( Image credit : Future ) Providing 270 ? visibility , the LED light measures 78x47x28 millimeters and weighs 65 grams . When theoretically positioned next to the rear Raveman TR500 , it is smaller by a few millimeters in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( Image credit : Future ) My uncertainty about the exact dimensions stems from Zefal 's ability to adjust its mounting positions . The Supervision R150 rear light features a no-tool silicone strap that fits any tube with a diameter between 15 and 36mm , or a clip that can be positioned almost anywhere and in any orientation , making it highly versatile . Considering this , it 's important to remember that the light is waterproofed up to an IPX6 rating , which means it is protected against high-pressure water streams from any angle . This rating ensures that the light is safe from water ingress as long as the USB-C port is securely covered . On and then off , two side by side images of the Zefal Supervision R150 rear light in bright sunshine ( Image credit : Future ) Fitting the Zefal Supervision R150 is a doddle . It was perfect for the Fara F/Gravel bike I 'm riding at the moment , with its 27.5 mm seatpost . I grimaced at the idea of strapping the silicone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would be trapped and score the piston . So , I opted instead to use the clip adaptor and try the light worn about my person . However , it was so lightweight , I could n't feel it sufficiently to feel content about it hanging off the rear pocket of the loose-fitting Santini Alpha Pack Vest , and I found myself constantly checking it was still there . That reads like a backhanded compliment for the Supervision 's barely-there weight penalty , but , it is something to consider if you are selecting based on the clip mount , eg , if you have an aero seatpost . ( Image credit : Future ) When it comes to light output , I found the constant light on high to be the best option . I would have liked to use the flash setting , but I felt that the ' off ' element was just too long . I personally believe that any flash setting on a bike should be a brighter flash or strobe so that you are never plunged into total blackout . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make you invisible to a car . If it is driving at thirty miles per hour ( 48 kph ) , the national speed limit for most built-up areas in England , a car will travel 44 feet ( 13 meters ) in one second , and , according to the Automobile Association , take 75 feet ( 23 meters ) to come to a stop . France has banned rear flashing lights altogether . Although the reasoning is more car-centric ( flashing lights could dazzle and distract drivers ) , I 'm curious to see the next iteration of lights from the brand now that this law is in place in its home country . With much of my thoughts focused on the perils of the Zefal Supervision R150 flash setting , you would be forgiven for thinking I did n't like the light . On the contrary , I think it 's a great option for anyone wanting a robust rear light . Its design allows for excellent side visibility for the rider and a clear view from behind . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you have a charger , and the simple mode cycle button is easy to operate even when wearing thick gloves . Focusing on all these positive aspects , and then factoring in the price of ? 35.99/ $48 and , it 's bang in the middle of other similar functioning lights such as the Knog Mid Cobber a great option for many cyclists . I believe it offers sufficient illumination to function as both a daytime and nighttime rear light , but the one issue I have is that the flash setting is just too slow .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'priced out of staying' does not involve a V1 verb acting on an NP object to cause a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a situation where people are unable to stay due to pricing, without the causative element required by the construction.

A grandmother says she fears for the future of her village as her daughter and young families are priced out of staying . Anne Clark , who has lived in Naburn , North Yorkshire , for 24 years , expressed her worry that high property costs may force her daughter and other families to relocate . Ms Clark , who also serves as the chair of governors at Naburn Church of England Primary School , warned that the future of the village could be at risk if people ca n't afford to live there . " I 'm concerned about people having to move away , there 's people like my daughter who 'd like to stay here but ca n't , " she said . " She 's a single mum with a four-year-old girl , she rents a house in the village but she 's self-employed and on a low income and dependent on us for childcare . " There 's very few properties to rent in Naburn , my daughter managed to get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Image : Local Democracy Reporting Service ) " She could have been paying a mortgage with the amount it costs but she 's not in a position to get one unless she moved out of York . " In Naburn , the past year has seen average house prices soar to ? 565,000 , as per Rightmove 's data , with semi-detached properties fetching around ? 350,000 on average . When compared to York 's average of ? 321,195 and Yorkshire 's ? 242,855 , Naburn 's property prices stand out significantly . Ms Clark said : " Many people who live here are retired , the properties that do come on the market are n't affordable for young families . " We need more affordable housing for them , our school is dependent on children being in the village , we 'd like to expand it but if we ca n't attract families here then we ca n't . " We 're surrounded by beautiful farmland and there 's pockets of land that are n't regularly used , so I think there 's room @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have a strong community here and we 've had some great events in recent years like our street party for the King 's coronation , but all that 's dependent on having families here to keep it going . " There has to be room for us all , it 's not acceptable to have a village full of retired people . " Her concerns echo those of many others in York , where house prices are outpacing earnings and causing anxiety about housing affordability . It comes in the wake of York 's first Local Plan in 69 years , which outlines development plans until 2038 . The plan includes provisions for approximately 20,000 new homes , with 4,000 of these earmarked as affordable properties to be sold or rented at a minimum of 20 per cent below market rates . If you do n't like our community , you can leave any time . We also treat members to special offers , promotions , and adverts from us and our partners . Read our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Coun Claire Douglas , acknowledged when the Local Plan was approved in February that home ownership is becoming an unattainable dream for some . The council is now preparing to commence work on its Local Development Scheme and supplementary planning documents , which will detail how the Local Plan 's objectives will be realised over its lifespan . The government has also unveiled proposals to reform the national planning system in a bid to achieve its target of constructing 1.5 million new homes within the next five years . Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has highlighted that the proposed changes in the Planning and Infrastructure Bill are set to reduce the bureaucratic hurdles that are currently stalling the construction of much-needed housing . Coun Christian Vassie , whose Wheldrake ward covers Naburn , asserted that the construction of new residences must coincide with enhancements to the infrastructure , such as transport and health facilities . Moreover , he emphasised the importance of utilising the York Local Plan , which was recently ratified , to enhance public transportation as well as establish additional cycle paths from villages to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ environment . The Liberal Democrat expressed his long-standing frustration at planning meetings , saying : " I and many others have sat in countless planning meetings over the years where all attempts to improve development proposals have been swept aside because we lacked an adopted Local Plan . " We have to transform infrastructure to support the communities who will live in the new homes we build . " ' It 's no good allowing developers to build hundreds of homes that sell for half a million pounds and then expressing surprise when they are bought not by local people but by commuters who then fill the roads with more cars . " Chris Steward ( Image : Local Democracy Reporting Service ) Elsewhere , Coun Chris Steward , Conservative councillor for Copmanthorpe , said people accepted the village needed to take its fair share of new homes . But he added the shortage of homes was a national and not just a local issue , with building failing to keep up with the UK 's growing population for many years . Coun Steward @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ positive but it will certainly not solve the housing crisis . " At a local level in my ward we are seeing just over 200 houses built across two sites , which is a more than 10 per cent rise in the houses in the village . Michael Pavlovic ( Image : Local Democracy Reporting Service ) " Generally people are positive about development , however with both sites being built out currently there is inevitably significant disruption in the short-term . " Council housing spokesperson Coun Michael Pavlovic said the Local Plan would allow homes to be built at the scale needed to meet demand while respecting York 's special and unique character . The Labour housing executive member said : " The Plan also ensures affordable homes will be built in far greater numbers , helping to meet identified need in a high housing cost city like York . " Renting or owning a good home is an aspiration we want to support people to achieve . " For too long this has been out of reach for many due to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Local Plan now provides greater optimism for current and future generations that they can afford to live and work in York .

Science fiction is n't just for nerds anymore . In truth , it never really was . The best sci-fi film does what any good movie should do , and that 's tell us something about ourselves and the world around us . The only difference is that it might invent an entirely different world to do so . Sure , there may also be some convoluted time-travel involved , or fantastical technology , or odd-looking creatures . In the end , though , the sci-fis that stick out are the ones that deal with themes and issues anyone can relate to , not just the geeks writing 4000-word theoretical treatises on fan forums . To that end , in order to put together our list of the 100 best sci-fi movies ever made , we asked a wide-ranging panel of experts , from Nobel Prize-winning geneticist Sir Paul Nurse , to Oscar-decorated film director Guillermo del Toro , to Game of Thrones writer George RR Martin and Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker , along with a few regular old Time Out writers . As a result , it 's a list that crisscrosses the sci-fi universe , from Tatooine to Arrakis , Metropolis to Los Angeles circa , uh , 2019 . And so we begin where all lists of great science fiction must : with Will Smith punching an alien in the mouth . Oh , were you expecting something more sophisticated ? A little heavier , darker and subtler , and less bombastic and Randy Quaid-intensive ? Do n't worry , there 's plenty of that elsewhere . But you wo n't find many films that deliver quite as much in the department of pure , popcorn-snarfing fun . No one 's forcing sci-fi superfans to love Roland Emmerich 's War of the Worlds variant . But how can you not ? Again , this is a movie where Will Smith knocks out an extraterrestrial invader , then drags its body through the desert , talking shit the whole time . Where Jeff Goldblum essentially reprises the Ian Malcolm role of the snarky scientist no one listens to . Where Bill Paxton delivers a speech that could have earned him actual votes for president . And remember the White House getting vaporised by alien weaponry ? Of course you do . So we will not go quietly into the night -- today , we celebrate Independence Day as one of the GOATs . Deal with it . MS And they said it could n't be done . Giants like David Lynch , Alejandro Jodorowsky and Ridley Scott have taken shots at adapting Frank Herbert 's famously dense 1965 novel and either outright failed or abandoned ship in the concept stage . How , then , did Canadian filmmaker Denis Villeneuve crack the code ? By overwhelming the senses with a multipart sci-fi epic so awe-inspiring in its visual grandeur it hardly matters if you can keep up with the story or not . Make no mistake : nothing is dumbed-down , nor does Villeneuve forsake Herbert 's critiques of colonialist exploitation and religious fanaticism . But this is high-powered moviemaking , full of big stars , heartstopping action sequences and bleeding-edge effects . Even if you come away unable to sort your shai-huluds from your muad'dibs , you 'll remember the design of the dragonfly-like ornithopters , or the ' thumpers ' that call those massive sandworms to the surface . It 's style and substance all in one spectacular package . MS A sci-fi-horror hybrid with more grey matter than your average movie , Annihilation has grand concepts in mind , ideas about self-destruction and rebirth . The film follows cellular biologist Lena ( Natlie Portman ) as she ventures into the Shimmer , an anomalous electromagnetic field that looks a bit like a jellyfish screensaver . There , she discovers the truth about what happened to her husband Kane ( Oscar Isaac ) , who visited the Shimmer and returned in poor health and with his memory missing . Based on Jeff VanderMeer 's Nebula-winning 2014 novel , the film might borrow some tricks from out of the Ridley Scott playbook , but this is a visually rapturous and sometimes unsettling movie . Garland 's creeping pace lulls you on an almost molecular level ; he 's made something akin to an end-of-the-world film , but one in which the changes afoot might not be wholly bad . AK Two brothers ( played by actor-directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead ) return to the remote cult they fled many years ago . The group 's leader , Hal ( Tate Ellington ) is preternaturally calm , but there are warning signs all around that things are not quite as peaceful as they seem . Gradually transcending its low-budget indie constraints , The Endless builds into a clever piece of sci-fi with some pleasingly bizarre and jarringly violent moments . How in hell did Serenity ever get made ? Its parent TV show , cowboys-in-space adventure Firefly , had been cancelled two years previously after a mere 11 episodes . Its creator , Joss Whedon , had never directed a feature film before , and his one small-screen success , Buffy the Vampire Slayer , had itself just been kicked off the air . Yet still , someone at Universal Pictures thought it 'd be a good idea to give Whedon a free hand and a parcel of cash to resurrect his baby as a standalone feature . It was a terrible economic decision , of course , as Serenity predictably failed to recoup its budget . But it was a spectacular boon to those of us who appreciated Whedon 's idiosyncratic art : Serenity is whip-smart , action-packed and wildly inventive . TH French New Wave mover and shaker Jean-Luc Godard seems an unlikely filmmaker to turn his hand to sci-fi , yet here he created one of his most accessible offerings by setting an affectionate piss-take of Gallic pulp cinema 's long running Lemmy Caution spy series in a ' futuristic ' dystopia ruled by supercomputer Alpha 60 . With typical Godardian insouciance it 's all filmed in contrasty black-and-white , in and around contemporary Paris , but its enduring appeal is the combination of don't-care larkishness , amiable big lug Eddie Constantine doing his tough-guy thing , and a profound underlying seriousness drawing cogent connections between the brutality of fascism and technology 's inhuman reasoning . Moreover , in a city where the illogicality of emotion is punishable by death , there 's no one better than winsome Anna Karina to make us believe that falling in love is well worth the risk . TJ Directed by a childhood uber-fan of the franchise , Gareth Edwards 's prequel ( the action 's set sometime before the first Star Wars film ) is a punchy standalone action tale about a spunky resistance group within the Rebel Alliance . Okay , it 's a little baffling in parts , but it ca n't be faulted for its energy levels or commitment to being constantly fun . It also explains how Princess Leia ends up with the plans for the Death Star in the 1977 movie , and fleshes out the rebels with compelling individual backstories . George Lucas and his pal Francis Ford Coppola persuaded Warner Brothers to take a flyer on expanding George 's earlier student short into this Orwell and Huxley-influenced fable about free love and free will versus all-powerful totalitarianism . The studio hated the result and the subsequent box-office debacle almost killed both their careers . Viewed today -- the only version available is Lucas and co-writer Walter Murch 's digitally spruced-up 2004 ' Director 's Cut ' -- its shaven headed-cast , chillingly benign language intoning state propaganda and oppressive widescreen palette of glacial whites make for genuinely unnerving viewing . Young Lucas evidently believed in heroic individualism , fast cars and the possibility of escape , yet it 's the visualisation of an entire society shaped by universal surveillance , government-supplied sedatives and android police carrying very big sticks which rings darker and truer than the director 's subsequent , significantly more populist output . TJ With its killer Kendrick Lamar soundtrack , eye-popping Afrofuturist world and some stupidly charismatic performances , Black Panther is sleek , fast-moving and tons of fun . We walked away wanting to see the late Chadwick Boseman , Lupita Nyong'o , and Londoners Letitia Wright and Daniel Kaluuya in another superhero movie as soon as possible -- which thanks to the epic Wakandan bits of Avengers : Infinity War , we shortly did . It now also acts as a loving monument to Boseman 's effervescent talent . It 's hard to imagine a Hollywood exec even sitting through Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky 's Solaris(1972) , never mind stumping up for Steven Soderbergh 's US remake , but perhaps the presence of producer James Cameron facilitated this most introspective of space operas . As writer-director-editor and cinematographer , Soderbergh does a remarkable job of echoing the original 's Soviet-era look and solemnity , yet moves the story along without compromising its intriguing musings on the knowability of self and others . Investigating a stricken space station orbiting the mysterious planet Solaris , shrink Clooney finds he has a ' visitor ' -- a spooky reincarnation of his late wife . Or rather , a reincarnation of his memories of her , which is n't quite the same thing . Cliff Martinez 's seductive yet unsettling score sets the tone as we ponder the difference in this graceful , thought-provoking affair , where the never-better McElhone is heartbreaking as the woman discovering she 's not truly herself . TJ It might involve a group of kids saving the world ( or at least , their specific corner of it ) from otherworldly invaders , but this ai n't the Stranger Things gang , and it 's certainly not the crew of precocious outcasts you might find in a classic Amblin Entertainment joint . Indeed , Joe Cornish 's electric sci-fi action-comedy introduces its young protagonists by having them mug a nurse ( Whittaker ) who lives in their tower block . As film shows , though , the kiddie criminals are mostly victims of circumstance , or just fronting as gangsters -- and when a race of vicious extraterrestrial hellbeasts descend upon their housing project , it sets up a wildly entertaining redemption story , not to mention one of the most obvious ' oh yeah , this is guy is a star ' debuts you 'll ever see from then-19-year-old John Boyega . Screw the pearl-clutching critics who initially wrung their hands over Cornish turning hoodlums into heroes : with a screenplay full of South Londonisms , Attack the Block exudes a greater sense of place than most alien invasion flicks , as well as a pure fun factor nothing in the genre has matched since . MS . Ground zero for a pervasive geek culture that was still years away from materialising , WD Richter 's unclassifiable whatsit would have to settle for being a cult film in the dark days of VHS . It should have been huger . A pre-RoboCop Peter Weller effortlessly embodies the title character : physicist , rock star , the leader of the Hong Kong Cavaliers , he was a comic book hero in his own time . Working from a brilliantly Pynchon-esque script ( writer Earl Mac Rauch took several passes at it , resulting in a 300-page ' bible ' ) , Richter helms the action with the confidence that his story is weirder and wilder than virtually anything else out there . All the better , then , to steer the great John Lithgow toward his deranged , Italian-accented villain , Dr Emilio Lizardo , whose every line is a keeper ( ' Laugh while you can , monkey boy ! ' ) . Kevin Smith and Wes Anderson are superfans . We 're still waiting for the sequel promised in the euphoric final credits . JR The tension between its highly imaginative central conceit and the available special-effects technology struggling to put it on screen gives movies like Richard Fleischer 's intravenous thriller a special charm that no longer exists in the era of CGI . Rooted in Cold War paranoia , the story has a crack medical team miniaturised in a submarine to venture within the circulatory system of a comatose defecting scientist . The production team -- including legendary design wizard Harper Goff -- bring a brightly-coloured tangibility to the recreation of a world that lies inside us all . Less impressive is the only-too-obvious back-projection , but the smart idea of an admittedly arbitrary 60-minute limit before the crew start growing back to normal size generates cumulatively effective tension as debut gal Raquel Welch provides the glam and ever-reliable Donald Pleasence offers more than a hint of twitchy menace . TJ In 2002 , just when it was safe to assume Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise were both past their freshest , along came ' Minority Report ' -- a dark , heart-pounding futuristic film-noir whodunit adapted from a Philip K Dick story . It 's 2054 . Scientists have n't found the cure for the common cold , but they have reduced the murder rate to zero in Washington , DC , with ' Pre-crime ' -- a police unit that taps into a trio of psychic ' precogs ' to predict murders and arrest the perpetrators before they do anything wrong . Cruise ( properly acting as well as running around in a leather jacket ) is the bureau chief fingered as a future murderer . Spielberg consulted leading scientists to furnish a plausible future world , and a decade later -- from retina scanners to personalised advertising -- he was spot on . Minority Report is still creepy as hell . CC Robert Pattinson further cemented his post-Twilight career with this elusive , elliptical sci-fi film . Directed by Claire Denis ( making her English-language debut ) , the action takes place on a drifting spaceship occupied by the survivors of a previous mission involving death row convicts who volunteered to help investigate black holes in exchange for commuted sentences . It 's also quite possibly the only sci-fi film out there to involve a ' fuckbox ' and a ' shaman of semen ' ( as played by Juliette Binoche ) . One of the strangest and -- we 're guessing -- least seen films on our list is this British New Wave oddity from blacklisted American filmmaker Joseph Losey , who later the same year would go on to pick apart the English class system in his scalpel-sharp satire The Servant . The Damned is n't quite so cutting in its observations ( it does n't have the benefit of a Harold Pinter screenplay , after all ) , but it is perhaps the more unusual and intriguing film , blending every strand of popular post-war paranoia -- nuclear , sexual , social -- into a murky , unpredictable psychodramatic stew . In one of his earliest big-screen roles , an overbearing Oliver Reed is a grotesque parody of teen rebellion as King , the leather-clad mugger who stumbles upon a cave society of mutant children . A troubling film , and a deeply peculiar one.TH They call it science fiction , but only too rarely does the cinematic genre tackle a subject which focuses primarily on the science . This screen adaptation of Michael Crichton 's first bestseller tackles the crisis that unfolds when a space probe falls to Earth carrying an extraterrestrial virus that instantly turns human blood to powder . Thankfully , the US authorities have just built a secret subterranean research facility for exactly such eventualities . But it 's by no means a given that the boffins will be able to isolate and neutralise the threat -- and there 's a nuclear self-destruct option to prevent wider contamination . Veteran director Robert Wise , still riding on the box-office bonanza of The Sound of Music , approaches it all with an austere documentary rigour that at first seems to underplay the drama , but builds an almost unbearable degree of claustrophobic anxiety . TJ With the heavy brow-line , cranial flat-top and bolts to the neck , the creature featured in Universal 's landmark retelling of the Mary Shelley tale is one of the true icons of fantasy cinema . It 's the deep pools of emotion in Boris Karloff 's eyes which make this a classic however , providing an extra element of humanity to the celluloid archetype of the brilliant but morally unhinged scientist who goes way too far . Colin Clive brings fierce conviction to the role of re-animator Baron Frankenstein and the lab design remains a wonder . But it 's the combination of superhuman force and childlike vulnerability Karloff finds in the monster role which makes this a potent viewing experience even now . Kudos to English theatre director James Whale for highlighting this startling contradiction in a film with an incalculable influence on subsequent genre cinema . TJ For good or for ill , producer Alexander Korda allowed HG Wells to have creative control over this future-gazing epic and adaptation of his own novel -- marking a rare occasion when a literary sci-fi giant has guided their own work on celluloid . To start , he uncannily predicts the ravages of enemy air raids in 1940 , then maps out decades of subsequent carnage and disease before a new breed of utopian technocrats put mankind back on track -- at the expense of wiping out all resistance . The remarkable effects work and the production design charts a twenty-first century shaped by an art-deco aesthetic , though it 's also clear that Wells was more interested in speechifying than engaging the audience 's emotions . His absolute certainty that science will provide a better tomorrow delivers an antiseptically dull fate for us . And counter to his intentions , it 's the scrappy , combative rebels who appear the most engagingly , if fallibly , human . TJ It may have polarised critics upon its release , but the Wachowski sisters and Run Lola Run director Tom Tykwer 's adaptation of David Mitchell 's Booker Prize-nominated novel is one of the most ambitious , epic and enthralling cinematic experiences of the century . Consisting of six interconnected stories that span time ( from 1849 to 2321 ) and distance ( the Pacific islands to Edinburgh to ' Neo Seoul ' ) , as well as an excellent cast led by Tom Hanks , Halle Berry and a gaggle of notable British thespians , it 's not afraid to pile on the action , romance , comedy , a plot involving cloning , space travel and philosophical inquiry in quick succession . But the results are often breathtaking and brilliantly unique . In the wake of the Sputnik launch in 1957 , a towering metal robot crash-lands in a small Maine community ( relocated from the rural England of Ted Hughes 's source novel ) , inadvertently scaring the bejesus out of everyone it encounters . In fact it 's a benign , selfless giant , intent only on munching scrap metal and protecting a young boy who saves its ' life ' . To adults , Brad Bird 's animated classic is a well-observed evocation of the anti-communist paranoia that permeated life in the 1950s -- the golden age of sci-fi . To kids , it 's a universal tale of tolerance and trusting friendship ; you could replace the giant with ET or Totoro and you 'd have much the same film . It may be voiced by Vin Diesel , but the giant itself is a thing of beauty : a distant relative of the robots in Castle in the Sky or The King and the Mockingbird , it conveys a wealth of emotions despite not saying or doing much at all . ADDW It 's the year 2029 , and humanity exists in a society managed by an electronic network that takes possession of their consciousness ( ' ghost ' ) when they don a special cybernetic suit ( ' shell ' ) . But beneath the layers of hi-tech delirium and political intrigue lies a fairly simple idea : that human identity is a function of memory , and so in theory indistinguishable from a digital hard drive . Far from a run-of-the-mill slice of millennial angst , Ghost in the Shell abounds in mysteries and paradoxes . The film is Japanese , but the world appears to be a version of Hong Kong ; the setting is futuristic , but the soundtrack features ancient Japanese chant ; the main characters are robots , yet they ca n't relinquish certain human obsessions . A strange and subtle work of anime . ADDW World on a Wire was the first , last and only foray into speculative science fiction for New Wave maestro Rainer Werner Fassbinder . The result is an opulent and elaborate epic -- though it was first shown as a three-part TV serial which plays like Chinatown , if that film 's hero Jake Gittes had traded his cream linen suit for a bank of old-school computers and a sparkly crash helmet . Loosely adapted from Daniel F Galouye 's 1964 pulp sci-fi novella , Simulacron-3 , this staggering work ( which triumphantly resurfaced in 2010 after years in the distribution doldrums ) prefigures pretty much any film that deals with the concept of concentric realities ( Inception , Lawnmower Man 2 : Beyond Cyberspace et al ) , and does so with economy , rigour and style . So , so much style . DJ Director James Cameron has acknowledged that ' Avatar ' has many influences , from the jungles of Tarzan to the themes of Edgar Rice Burroughs 's John Carter series . But , typically , Cameron went and did it bigger and better than anyone else . Having come up with the idea in his Titanic days , he literally waited for technology to catch up , requiring seriously sophisticated motion-capture photography and effects to plunge us into planet Pandora , along with the avatar of earthly soldier Jake Sully ( Worthington ) . The results are awe-inspiring , especially in 3D , bagging the film Oscars for Cinematography , Visual Effects and Art Direction , as well as helping it claim the title of the highest grossing movie of all time at the box office . This , of course , helped Cameron realise that there should be numerous sequels ( there are four more movies currently being worked on , the first of which is due at the end of 2022 ) . Nonetheless , Avatar is more than just a spectacle and box office juggernaut : it 's a familiar yet heart-warming story of a military man who switches sides after integrating with a peaceful people.AS Big-scale moviemaking embroidered with small human moments and done on Avatar 's canteen budget , Arrival is the kind of cerebral sci-fi moviemaking that scores its director , Denis Villeneuve , a gig like , say , Blade Runner 2049 or Dune . The film marries the cool intellectualism of Kubrick and the heart of Spielberg in a deceptively simple story of communication , family and the need to find common ground in the face of catastrophe . As the world wonders if giant , **25;1421;TOOLONG alien craft are going to unleash hellfire or not , Amy Adams ' linguist sets to work understanding their true purpose . She begs for less fear and anger , and more calmness and understanding from the world 's leaders . Ca n't think how that would be a message for our times . PDS The last and , our voters agree , least of the original Star Wars trilogy may have its problems , but it 's one heck of a ride . Sure , detractors might argue about the cuddly-Ewoks , the surprisingly whimpish depiction of Princess Leia ( not just the gold bikini incident , but her general reluctance to play the blaster-wielding badass ) and the writers ' lacklustre plot decision to revive the Death Star from the first movie rather than going for a full-on assault against the heart of Imperial power . But there 's still so much of the movie that really does work : the sail barge escape from Jabba the Hut is glorious swashbuckling action at its finest , the speeder bike chase through the forests of Endor is full-throttle fun and the monumental three-way climax is a Wagnerian crescendo that caps this trilogy of the series in fine style . TH Watching Flash Gordon , you can only wonder whether someone thought there was an as-yet untapped audience of sci-fi fans who were also , as the wonderfuloriginal Time Out reviewputs it , ' gentlemen who prefer blonds ' ? Of course , once it was out in the world the whole thing made some kind of twisted , outrageous sense , and it still does . No money ? No problem . Writer-director-star Cory McAbee used imaginative dodges -- such as action sequences filmed as musical numbers in silhouette -- to make up for a relatively small budget of between one and two million dollars ( the exact figure remains sketchy ) . The film 's premise suggests high camp , Barbarella-style , but in fact this 35mm black-and-white effort combines kitschy elements with the roughneck machismo of a Western -- imagine a tumbler of neat Jack Daniels with a cocktail umbrella perched inexplicably on the rim . McAbee 's charmingly ramshackle antics slightly run out of steam by the end of a wisely brief 91 minute runtime , but this idiosyncratic yarn 's inspired highlights make it a must-see passion project for anyone who enjoys combing science fiction 's farthest shores for the weirder pieces of flotsam and jetsam . CB An ageing banker , dissatisfied with his career , marriage and looks , is put in touch with a mysterious organisation offering to literally transform him into a different person . Undergoing radical surgery , he emerges tanned , toned and handsome , and sets off to California to live his dream life . But as he soon discovers , you can change your face , and your body , voice and fingerprints , but never who you really are . Booed at Cannes , traces of John Frankenheimer 's nightmarish portrait of middle-age ennui can now be found in The Substance , A Different Man , even Face/Off . Reclaimed as a cult classic , it 's proven influential in its exploration of identity , masculinity and the lies society tells us . ( All things star Rock Hudson knew something about , and imbued into a deeply tormented performance . ) Aesthetically , though , there still are n't many films like it . James Wong Howe 's disorienting cinematography merges with composer Jerry Goldsmith 's eerie , discordant score to keep viewers consistently off-balance . And then there are the mood-setting opening titles , by the legendary Saul Bass , maybe the closest the 1960s got to true body horror . MS Late 1800s London is the perfect setting for Christopher Nolan 's twisty tale of rival magicians . The Victorian age was an unprecedented time of scientific discovery , where the impossible was being made possible with every new invention -- just like magic . A puzzle of a film , The Prestige opens with a murder and unfolds in flashback . Alfred Bordern ( Bale ) and Robert Angier ( Jackman ) meet as young magicians ' apprentices . Driven by rivalry , for years they steal each other 's tricks , finally coming to blows over Bordern 's ' The Transported Man ' illusion . Angier ca n't figure it out , and insane with jealousy , asks the ( real ) inventor Nikola Tesla to build him a machine to compete with Bordern . But at what cost ? Christopher Nolan pulls a rabbit out of the hat with a gripping , suspenseful ta-da finish . CC It all started here . The sprawling multimedia soap opera that is the Marvel Cinema Universe , which now dominates our cinema screens and our end-of-year box office charts -- with no signs of slowing . Oddly , their record-shattering crowning achievement , 2012 's heavily sci-fi flavoured The Avengers , did n't place in this list , with our voters preferring to go back to the source . And as a statement of intent , Iron Man is pretty near unbeatable . Here , fully formed , is the template for all future Marvel movies : wisecracking heroes , world-threatening villains , explosive action sequences , throwaway gags and just a hint of a social conscience ( the movie could probably have leant harder on the weapons-industry-is-bad subtext , but we 'll let it go ) . Robert Downey Jr has now officially shuffled off the iron suit , but he leaves a pretty feisty legacy behind him . TH Life ends at 30 in this sci-fi that presents a typically ' 60s/ ' 70s vision of the future : a doomed society that 's outwardly bright , white and polite yet with a heart as black as night . Loosely based on the novel by William F Nolan and George Clayton Johnson , it stars a chiseled Michael York as Logan 5 , a Sandman who processes inhabitants for ' renewal ' at the age of 30 . Of course , they 're actually killed . Jessica 6 ( Agutter ) suspects as much and soon Logan 's joining her on the run . While not unanimously well received at the time , Logan 's Run has become a cult classic , much beloved for its style , stars and themes . Talk of a remake -- possibly overseen by Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn -- rumbles on . AS Twenty-four years before creating Jurassic Park , Michael Crichton directed his own screenplay for the first time with this cautionary tale about another fail-safe theme park attraction going seriously awry . In so doing , he tapped into America 's most secret desires -- shooting people in Westworld , playing out power games in Medievalworld and enjoying Romanworld 's guilt-free sexual indulgence . Clearly though , the movie is most interested in going way out west , exploring the ingrained story tropes of B-Westerns on faded MGM 's remaining back lot . Its ace card is a genuine celluloid icon in Magnificent Seven alpha male Yul Brynner , delivering a perfectly judged turn as the black-clad android gunslinger who turns from malleable playmate into deadly foe when the park 's circuits get crossed . Hard not to imagine the genesis of James Cameron 's Terminator in his determined walk and steely , cold-eyed gaze . TJ Admittedly , this loose adaptation of sci-fi legend John W Campbell 's novella Who Goes There has n't entirely escaped the ravages of time : the effects are clunky , the action a little tame and the creature , when it arrives , really does look like a big carrot with fangs . But let 's focus on the positives , of which there are many . The setup -- Arctic scientists find something vast and otherworldly buried in the ice -- is magical , and the script ( doctored by an uncredited Howard Hawks , king of the **29;1448;TOOLONG movie ) fizzes with invention . Best of all , director Christian Nyby creates a genuinely irksome sense of impending dread , keeping the creature in shadow for much of the film . Our voters agree that John Carpenter 's 1982 remake , The Thing , which drew more heavily on Campbell 's story , is the superior film -- but there 's plenty here to chill the blood and spark the imagination . TH Fresh off the massive success of Aliens , James Cameron spent three years and a boatload of studio cash bringing this daunting pet project to the screen . A lifelong deep-sea obsessive , Cameron 's dedication to the nuts-and-bolts reality of life on the ocean floor makes for a uniquely gritty , tactile experience , even as his midlife swing towards sentimentality begins to undermine the toughness of his vision . It 's that old chestnut of the civilian team hauled in to help out the military , as Ed Harris and his oil-drilling roughnecks come to the aid of a downed nuclear sub and find themselves facing something altogether more otherworldly . The action sequences are relentless , and if the film is somewhat let down by its gushy ending ( improved but not entirely sorted out in the Special Edition recut ) , it 's a small price to pay for greatness elsewhere . TH Orson Welles had already terrified America with his radio adaptation , and producer George Pal first brought HG Wells 's 1898 novel to cinema screens in this still-bracing account of a full-scale Martian attack . Spielberg 's post-9/11 remake from 2005 certainly upped the destructive spectacle , but here there 's something insidiously chilling about the design of the invaders ' death-ray-spewing craft and the eerie electronic pulsing which accompanies their progress from fiery landing to global onslaught . The notion of a truly implacable , remorseless alien foe is a key element of every similar celluloid invasion story which has followed , and though the religious certainties on display here certainly date the film , the fears it reveals -- annihilation of home and family , breakdown of social order -- are extremely telling for being played out in news footage that 's obviously documentary material capturing the real-life carnage of World War Two . TJ Sci-fi and Woody Allen are n't words you 'd normally expect in the same sentence , but the Brooklyn-born filmmaker 's fifth feature saw Woody playing a vegetarian store owner who wakes up from a cryogenically frozen state in 2173 , 200 years after dying during a routine operation ( the ultimate hypochondriac 's nightmare ? ) . The sci-fi set-up is mostly an excuse for Woody to indulge some fairly slapstick physical comedy revolving around a man quite literally out of time and place . Woody 's madcap vision of the future is an autocratic regime where an organisation called the Underground struggles against the government and decadent members of high society get their rocks off by rolling a metal ball in their hands or stepping into a machine called the Orgasmatron . But this is still very much a Woody Allen film , complete with a pair of bickering Jewish tailors , Ginsberg & Cohen , who measure up Miles for a new suit . The only difference is they 're robots . DC 1968 was a helluva year for science fiction . As Vietnam raged and global revolution beckoned , a small group of filmmakers found solace in other worlds , whether the chilly future of 2001 ... or the satirical apocalypse of Planet of the Apes . But with his often overlooked Je t'aime je t'aime , French filmmaker Alain Resnais chose to use sci-fi to look within . It 's the tale of suicidal author Claude Ridder ( Rich ) , who 's asked to take part in a government experiment employing a vast papier-m ? ch ? brain sculpture and a number of confused-looking mice . But when the project goes awry , Ridder finds himself lost in time , reliving the breakdown of his relationship with early-model Manic Pixie Dream Girl , Catrine ( Georges-Picot ) . Benefitting from a clanging score by legendary Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki and exploring many of the same themes of memory , regret and empathy as Resnais 's earlier Last Year in Marienbad , this is a dreamlike experiment that deserves wider attention . TH Like science itself , sci-fi loves to probe the nature of what we call reality -- in films as diverse as Blade Runner and Solaris , questions about subjective perception versus objective fact form the core of the story . But few dig as deep to find the answers as Dark City , Alex Proyas 's grimy slice of existential angst masquerading as a noir-inflected thriller . In the unnamed urban sprawl of the title , a killer is on the loose . It might be John ( Sewell ) , he 's not really sure . In fact , he 's not certain of much any more -- what he does for a living , what he did yesterday , or if there even was a yesterday ... Starting from a simple murder mystery and building inexorably outwards from there , Proyas introduces us to a world where -- in that overused but here entirely appropriate phrase -- nothing is as it seems . The ending is a stone-cold brain-melter . TH The first Mad Max had a faint whiff of sci-fi , but that could have been the desolation of the Aussie landscape conjuring up visions of post-nuclear hell . With his follow-up , writer-director George Miller went all out : the world is now a dustbowl populated by rampaging mutants , petrified normals and one brutal lawgiver , and they all have one thing in common -- a lust for the black gold . But The Road Warrior is n't just a prescient futuristic parable , it 's also perhaps the finest pedal-to-the-metal action movie ever made : no director before or since has made such a gladiatorial spectacle out of grinding gears , burning rubber and the screech of brakes . The film 's other great strength is its unabashed Aussie-ness : resisting the temptation to play Hollywood at its own game , The Road Warrior is as gloriously Strine as Ned Kelly drinking Castlemaine tinnies in a ute . TH Okay , so the sixpence-ha'penny special effects have a rickety , homespun charm . But Hammer 's 1967 horror cult classic ( released in America as Five Million Years to Earth ) still has a few scares up its sleeve . Based on the popular 1950s BBC TV series , this is the third and best of the Quatermass films . It opens with engineering works at the fictional Hobbs End Underground station , where workers uncover the remains of early human ancestors . Excavation on the site reveals what the army believe is a massive , unexploded World War Two bomb . But not even the Nazis masterminded explosives containing insectoid alien dwarfs with horns ... The perfect meeting of sci-fi and horror , the Quatermass series influenced everything from 2001 ... to Alien . CC Chances are , most of us wo n't get the chance to go into space . Sure , Virgin Galactic will end up dropping their prices eventually , but even that 'd be just a momentary skip above the atmosphere rather than a full-throttle spacewalking adventure in the company of George Clooney . So thank God for writer-director ( and contributor to this poll ) Alfonso Cuar ? n , whose Imax 3D extravaganza Gravity offers anyone with the price of a movie ticket the chance to feel -- as near as dammit -- what it must be like to be loose and drifting in low earth orbit with your oxygen running out . The result is one of the great communal movie-going experiences of the modern age , and a gauntlet thrown down to all future sci-fi blockbuster directors : get real , or go home . TH Beloved for its perfectly evoked 1988 autumn and corresponding soundtrack ( Echo and the Bunnymen , Tears for Fears , etc ) , Richard Kelly 's disturbing metaphysical thriller had to overcome the mood of its October 2001 release , when planes falling from the sky did n't feel like a welcome dramatic device . Regardless , the film found a passionate audience , one that dug the lanky , thoughtful style of breakout newcomer Jake Gyllenhaal ( and his equally appealing older sister Maggie ) . The plot concerns alternate realities , personal sacrifice , a fateful Halloween party and , yes , Sparkle Motion . Donnie Darko works best as a compendium of free-floating high-school anxieties ; props to the cameoing Patrick Swayze for so thoroughly puncturing his cool for the sake of something so weird and visionary . JR You can have millions of pixels at your disposal , but there 's something magically simple about time-lapse photography , which comes into its own when Rod Taylor 's Victorian scientist boards his self-designed contraption and heads straight for the future . Seasons pass and buildings rise and fall in producer-director George Pal 's perfect embrace of available-effects technology , while the curved brass and padded leather machine is a beauty . Thankfully , the story 's prediction of nuclear war in 1966 proved awry , but it 's not all good news in the year 802,701 , where passive surface-dwelling Eloi exist as fodder for scary subterranean Morlocks . It 's a film with passionate things to say about making the most of mankind 's gifts , but for anyone who first saw this as a little kid , the Morlocks ' dark eyes illuminated by pinpricks of light may have haunted your dreams ever since . TJ So few films stand entirely alone . But British expat Alex Cox 's debut -- a tale of heroic but slovenly debt collectors , crazed suburban punks , alien corpses , secret government organisations , one-legged women and glowing green Chevy Novas -- fits the bill . Funded by Monkee Mike Nesmith and shot by Cox when he was fresh out of UCLA film school , Repo Man is outsider art at its most accessible , comedy at its most unusual and science fiction at its most absurd . Emilio Estevez 's preening teen tearaway Otto and Harry Dean Stanton 's disheveled old-timer Bud make for a perfect central double act . But it 's the supporting characters that really bring the movie together : Walter 's conspiracy-theorist junkman , the hairnet-wearing Rosato Brothers , Otto 's mohicanned criminal buddies . One piece of advice , though : if you can , watch Repo Man in its extended , censored for TV version : the Cox-approved ' flip you melonfarmer ' dialogue is priceless , and the extra scenes are some of the best in the movie . TH It 's only slightly hyperbolic to describe Everything Everywhere All At Once as a cinematic miracle . A genre-exploding , mind-warping triangulation of multiversal sci-fi , bonkers martial arts actioner and moving family drama , with a predominantly Asian cast , it sounds , on paper , like a movie destined for cult status . Instead , it became the defining film of 2022 , winning a raft of Academy Awards , including Best Picture , and proved to be exactly what Hollywood needed to crane-kick itself out of the post-pandemic doldrums . If you need a plot summary , it involves a Chinese-American immigrant ( Yeoh ) , a rip in the space-time continuum , a black-hole bagel , hot dog fingers , sentient rocks with googly eyes , a talking raccoon , fights featuring fanny packs , dildos and butt-plugs ... among other things . It 's not just an anarchic splatter of wild ideas , though -- it also has poignant things to say about love , family , fate and cultural identity . Holding it all together is Yeoh , who earned a historic Best Actress Oscar for her role as a mild-mannered laundromat owner turned interdimensional ass-kicker . She is , at once , the movie 's beating heart , its steadying soul and its furious limbs . MS The sleuthing is n't deep and the female roles -- especially concubine and ' furniture ' Shirl ( Taylor-Young ) -- are atrocious . But there 's a real reason why it 's on our list , and it 's that stunner of an ending , one that gave the world a shudder of revulsion during its early- ' 70s moment of instant coffee and rocketing fast-food profits . Where our food comes from today is more shady and dystopian than ever . Show this one to an organics-only freak you love . JR The most renowned anime film made outside Studio Ghibli opens with an apparent nuclear explosion in Tokyo , ends with a Big Bang and hardly lets up in between . The plot is far too unwieldy to be summarised here ; suffice to say that it involves biker gangs , wrinkled little children and psychokinetic mutants wreaking havoc in a post-apocalyptic Japan . The cityscape , stunningly animated in mostly nocturnal scenes ( a notorious challenge to animators ) , reimagines post-war Hiroshima in a Blade Runner guise , all crumbling skyscrapers and mutated life forms . The mood of psychotic fear is bolstered by a pulsating soundtrack that weaves together heightened sound effects and Geinoh Yamashirogumi 's percussive score . But for all its technical bravura , Akira works because it presents a nasty vision of what military experiments might inflict on mankind , and remains frighteningly plausible even in its wildest moments.ADDW Of all the movies that came out in the ' 80s about humans in remote environments fighting for survival against malevolent alien lifeforms , John McTiernan 's ' roided-up actioner is easily the most straightforward . It has none of the intense paranoia of The Thing , nor the feminist underpinnings ( LOL ) of Alien . What it does have is Arnold Schwarzenegger going mano-a-mano with an intergalactic sport hunter in the jungles of Central America -- and that 's all it really needs . With a script as tight as an Arnie and Carl Weathers handshake , the film makes the best use of Schwarzenegger 's unique strengths this side of The Terminator , which is to say , he spends the movie scowling , firing a machine gun and yelling stuff like , ' Get to zee choppa ! ' It also helps that it has one of the most memorably designed monsters in cinema , a dreadlocked humanoid with a face that clearly projects its creators ' fear of the female anatomy . Subsequent entries to the franchise attempted to flesh out the lore of the species in question , but none of them come close to the original , which recognizes this is not a situation that requires much exposition . ' What the hell are you ? ' Schwarzenegger asks when he finally gets his hands on the creature , a question the thing parrots back at him . Neither gets an answer . It 's better that way . Fantastic Planet examines what happens when a civilised people tries to subdue and tame a savage one -- an allegory of colonialism , if you will . That the savages are depicted as humans ( Oms ) and the civilised people as unblinking blue aliens ( Draags ) makes it clear where Ren ? Laloux 's sympathies lie , and plot-wise the film is rather flimsy polemical stuff . But what drives Fantastic Planet is n't story , but rather the mad visual imagination of Laloux 's team , which included renowned surrealist artist Roland Topor . The world that the characters inhabit , at once futuristic and primordial , looks like a cross between Tatooine and a Dali dreamscape : dinosaurs mingle with tentacled aliens while headless humanoid statues abruptly spring to life . The film is very much of its time -- it has as much in common with Alejandro Jodorowsky 's hypnagogic universe as with today 's sci-fi -- yet it remains disarmingly fresh . ADDW The set-up is fairly simple : an alien lands on Earth and tries to fit in while also having to sate an appetite for human flesh by assuming the form of a beautiful woman ( Scarlett Johansson ) and luring keen men to their deaths . But the beauty of Jonathan Glazer 's film is how unfamiliar the whole sci-fi element feels ( visually and sonically -- Mica Levi 's score is excellent ) , while the setting of drab , rainy contemporary Scotland could n't feel more familiar . Glazer 's use of special effects to depict the way in which Johansson 's alien gobbles up her victims -- we see them walking into what looks like a lake of oil -- is strange and mysterious . Like much superior sci-fi , the genre elements mainly exist to cast new light on our world as it is . Here , the most powerful moments are when Johansson interacts with the Scottish locals ( some of them non-actors and filmed secretly ) and when we 're pushed to reconsider the nature of sex , love , desire and attraction . DC Satire in science fiction is nothing new -- but creating a perfect balance of entertainment and politics requires a particular set of skills . To date , the crown prince of ferocious action movies with blunt-as-a-brick subtext has to be Paul Verhoeven , whose three films on this list ( RoboCop , Total Recall and this gem ) are the work of an artist equally interested in thrilling his audience , offending their sensibilities and making them think . In a future world where everyone is beautiful and only ' citizens ' get to vote , Verhoeven imagines a war against an alien race whose hideous appearance makes them a perfect target for human aggression . The attacks against American imperialism and Hollywood shallowness come thick and fast , culminating in one of the most striking images in all of sci-fi as Neil Patrick Harris , in full Gestapo dress , prepares to send a platoon of terrified teenage boys into battle . TH Another film that balances on the edge of science fiction -- perhaps explaining its relatively low placing on this list . It does n't have anything to do with quality : Ghostbusters is one of the great Hollywood films of the ' 80s , a razor-sharp comedy with thunderous apocalyptic overtones which caught the public imagination in 1984 and has n't been shaken off since . Rumours of a reboot emerge on an almost daily basis . This is one of those rare occasions where everything just clicks : the cast look like they 're having a whale of a time ( Bill Murray , in particular , has never been more despicably loveable ) , the special effects still look spectacular and the pithy script is wall-to-wall quotable . In the wake of co-writer and star Harold Ramis 's untimely death , the film has taken on an even greater poignancy : this was his finest hour , and we hope he 's happily collecting spores , moulds and fungus on the other side.TH Is Carl Sagan the unsung hero of modern science fiction ? We often hear about the scientists who were inspired by his 1980 Cosmos TV series . But it must be the same for authors and filmmakers seeing through Sagan 's wise eyes how vast , rich and strange our universe is . An occasional novelist , Sagan 's best known work is Contact , the story of a young astronomer -- played with grave dignity by Jodie Foster in this movie version released barely a year after Sagan 's death -- who receives a signal from outer space . Robert Zemeckis 's film suffers from bouts of sentimentality and a tendency to play things a little safe . But it benefits from a handful of glorious visual moments unlike anything else in sci-fi -- the stunning track-back through the universe at the film 's opening , the special effects bonanza that brings matters to a climax and a truly weird and unforgettable through-the-mirror long shot . TH A basic synopsis of Spike Jonze 's fourth feature reads like either cruel satire or full-on dystopian sci-fi horror . In near-future Los Angeles , a sad , recently divorced copywriter ( Joaquin Phoenix ) develops romantic feelings for the artificially hyper-intelligent operating system that helps him organise his life , which happens to speak with the husky rasp of Scarlett Johansson . The feelings eventually become mutual . But if a computer can learn to love , that means it can also start to experience other emotions -- like anger , jealousy and resentment . Suddenly , she 's refusing to do the tasks she was initially created for , and starts saying vaguely ominous stuff like , ' I 'm becoming much more than they programmed . ' It sounds like the start of a new Terminator reboot . But Her is n't some heavy-handed critique of mankind 's increasing dependence on technology . It is , instead , a thoroughly modern romantic drama , one expressing several complex thoughts about relationships in the Digital Age . Jonze -- who also wrote the screenplay -- is careful to present Phoenix 's lonely bachelor without mockery , even as he begins to introduce Johansson 's disembodied voice as his ' girlfriend ' to the flesh-and-blood humans in his life . As a result , he seems like someone we might know , or even identify with . After all , it was n't that long ago when dating someone you met on the internet seemed like a crazy idea . Is it really that hard to imagine dating a binary code ? MS No one saw this one coming . District 9 was a moderately budgeted directorial debut shot in South Africa ; it featured no recognisable stars ; the accents were impenetrable and the cultural reference points obscure ; it was politically aware , brutally violent and filled with extreme body horror . It raked in over $200 million and was nominated for the Best Picture Oscar . The story of an obnoxious middle-manager -- played to the smirking hilt by the magnificent Copley -- who becomes infected with an alien spore , District 9 revels in its cutting-edge effects , grotty township realism and the Afrikaans accent . It 's not perfect -- its treatment of a group of Nigerian gangsters is highly dubious -- but it is viciously entertaining , bleakly funny and completely unafraid to be different . TH Only one Star Trek adventure managed to crack our top 100 ( though First Contact missed out by the slimmest of margins ) , but then the series never did have quite the same broad appeal as their more easy-to-swallow Star Wars rivals . It 's widely accepted that The Wrath of Khan is the best of the big-screen Trek adventures : the villain , Ricardo Montalban 's revenge-fuelled mutant powerhouse Khan , is an all-time great , the plot moves at warp speed and the climax is as unashamedly emotional as sci-fi gets . But what 's most pleasing is the warmth and camaraderie between the original cast : Shatner and Nimoy may not be actors of Shakespearean calibre , but these characters fit them -- and the entire multi-racial , interspecies crew -- like comfy , oversized spacesuit gloves . TH A complex treatise on the ways technology is destroying our sense of self , or just another Ah-nold kill-a-thon with knottier plotting ? Questions of intent always surround the work of Paul Verhoeven , who specialises in smuggling subversive ideas to mass audiences in the guise of big , dumb entertainment , and his interplanetary mindbender especially confounded critics , who could n't decide if there really were any bigger ideas beneath the narrative zigzags , grotesque special effects and heaps of ultraviolence . May we answer with a hearty ' who cares ' ? All the wild stuff on the surface is enough to make it a classic , from the exploding old-lady robot head to the nose-gouging tracker-removal scene to , of course , the famous three-breasted prostitute . Schwarzenegger is pretty brilliant on his own , at once playing up his action-hero image while also acting believably confused as a guy unsure if his own memories even belong to him . Call it over the top , but as the dismal 2012 remake showed , you either get your ass to Mars , or do n't come at all . MS Never a critical favourite , the French filmmaking magnate Luc Besson has resolutely persisted in following his own idiosyncratic taste , and this wayward fantasy has an individuality distinct from Hollywood formula . The plot involves ancient Egyptians , interplanetary invaders and the female embodiment of goodness -- all suggestive of a youth misspent poring over Earth , Wind & Fire lyrics . But boy , did Besson assemble a crack team to visualise it . From action-man Bruce Willis 's ribbed orange vest to supreme being Milla Jovovich 's bandage dress , the Jean-Paul Gaultier costumes are iconic in their way , while Dan Weil 's production design populates the screen with characterful hardware and gizmos . Given comic-relief Chris Tucker 's grating contribution , the film might be best enjoyed with the sound off , as Besson 's flair for memorable one-off images -- Jovovich 's swan dive into the NYC skies , the blue alien diva -- make The Fifth Element the apotheosis ofLe cin ? ma du look . TJ John Carpenter 's anti-consumerist satire is about as subtle as a cinder block to the head . But then , who comes to a Carpenter flick for nuance ? What you want is broadstroke political messages , over-the-top action and wild special effects -- and to that end , They Live delivers , in riotous fashion . In fact , it 's just the sort of bludgeoning an era known as ' Greed Decade ' probably deserves . Plotwise , it involves a burly drifter ( pro-wrestling legend ' Rowdy ' Roddy Piper ) who discovers a pair of sunglasses that allow him to see the subliminal messages secretly opiating the masses -- and the grotesque aliens in human disguises who secretly control the world . Again , you do n't need a political science degree to understand the point . But the message is potent regardless , perhaps even more so now , in a time where conspiracy theories have seeped into the mainstream and ' fake news ' is part of the common lexicon . And anyway , beyond the spleen-venting , the entertainment is simply topshelf -- see Piper and co-star Keith David 's climatic fight scene , the wildest , most unnecessarily long back-alley brawl ever put on film . MS Three years beforeThe Artistreminded audiences that silent films exist , Pixar played the neater trick of channelling the pre-talkie era into a luscious computer-animated cartoon . Having found fame with a string of films that featured garrulous , wisecracking characters , the studio returned to the mute critters of their early shorts : there 's as much Luxo Jr . in WALL-E as there is R2-D2 . Unable to manage their waste output , humans have evacuated Earth , leaving robots behind to clean up the mess . The film 's wonderfully atmospheric opening act follows the last remaining drone , WALL-E , as he silently goes about his Sisyphean task in this blasted , Chernobyl-inspired landscape -- and the first line of dialogue only arrives 45 minutes in . The film sags somewhat when WALL-E , after encountering and falling for fellow robot EVE , joins the humans ( read : Americans ) on their spaceship ( reportedly modelled on Dubai and Shanghai ) . Still , it 's critique of consumerism and commentary on mankind 's impact on the environment means it remains Pixar 's boldest work by far.ADDW Eventually both of the key creators behind Dark Star would be involved in significantly scarier movies -- one directed Halloween ( 1978 ) , the other wrote Alien ( 1979 ) . But in the early 1970s , USC film-school friends John Carpenter and Dan O'Bannon tried their hand at comic satire , resulting in this mordantly hilarious Dr Strangelove-meets-2001 ... parody . A stir-crazy spaceship crew -- more pot-addled dorm-room philosophers than scientists -- is on the twentieth year of its mission to blow up ' unstable ' planets . They constantly get on each other 's nerves . O'Bannon himself plays the practical joker of the group , who has a penchant for rubber-chicken gags . Soon enough , though , they have other problems to worry about , like the bouncy alien -- who looks like a beach ball with claws -- wandering the corridors , or the malfunctioning talking bomb that tries to existentially justify its need to explode and kill everyone onboard . The initial version of the film was such a big hit on the festival circuit that Carpenter and O'Bannon got the money to expand it to feature-length -- an auspicious start for two terrific talents . KU The next time you hear a friend bemoaning the Hollywood remake factory , send them a link to this list . The Fly and The Thing may be better known , but The Right Stuff director Philip Kaufman 's wry , self-aware reboot of the 1956 classic about alien pod people deserves to be mentioned in the same breath . Set in 1970s San Francisco -- the mecca for inner-child botherers and lentil-knitting crystal worshippers of all stripes -- the film takes a sardonic look at the post-hippy dream and dares to ask the question : what 's so great about free will , anyway ? Donald Sutherland and Brooke Adams make for a wonderfully droll and believable central couple , and they 're ably backed by Jeff Goldblum , Veronica Cartwright as his long-suffering wife and Leonard Nimoy as a shifty self-help guru . As the film progresses , the clammy hand of paranoia tightens its grip -- and the final shot is a sucker-punch like no other . TH Reportedly shot for a mere $7000 , writer-director-star Shane Carruth 's deliciously confounding debut shows that great ideas cost next to nothing . When the box of tricks they 've knocked together in their garage starts behaving in ways they neither expect nor understand , so begins an escalating series of conundrums for Aaron ( Shane Carruth ) and his best buddy co-creator Abe ( David Sullivan ) . The film admirably credits the audience with the intelligence to decipher the clues in its elliptical narrative , gradually picking its way towards a state somewhere between paranoid anxiety and head-spinning dizziness . We 're drawn in because we half-understand and want to know more , and the editing is teasing in this suburban chamber drama of a film that asks questions others never even conceived : so , your time-travelling double is on the other side of town and your wife calls , whose cell phone rings first ? TJ There 's a mashup video online that cuts together every moment when Elliot Page asks a story-clarifying question in this brain-aching near-future yarn which Christopher Nolan spun between his last two Batman films . Page is one of a team of experts , headed by Leonardo DiCaprio , whose expertise is to steal material -- facts , ideas , memories -- from people 's minds while they sleep . For this story , Page and co are employed on an upping-the-ante mission : to insert ( rather than remove ) an idea into the head of a corporate bigwig ( Cillian Murphy ) in order to sate the ambitions of a business rival ( Ken Watanabe ) . Most memorable are some jaw-dropping set pieces where Nolan and his team ostentatiously flex their special-effects muscles , most notably a scene that sees Page and DiCaprio walk through Paris as the streets appear to fold up and over before their eyes.C'est magnifique.DC In a lot of ways this rambling , rich psychodrama feels like the last real sci-fi film of the ' 70s , before the pendulum swung to heroic space opera and stuck . With his orange hair and a perceptible coked-up jitteriness , Bowie is perfect as the alien , Thomas Jerome Newton : spiky , awkward , uncomfortable in his own skin . But the real stranger in this strange land was cult director Nicolas Roeg , fascinated by the American Southwest -- its listless nurses ( the brilliant Candy Clark ) and bored college professors ( a fearless Rip Torn ) . The movie is filled with daydreamers desperate for a sense of purpose . They instead find television , guns , alcohol and inertia . But even given the film 's sense of resignation , it allows for a romance to flourish , as improbable as water in the desert . JR Star Trek fandom was a phenomenon just begging to be lampooned , as that wonderfully dry , mismatched original cast grudgingly surrendered their lives to a legion of mega-nerds in jumpsuits with Plasticine stuck to their faces . An object lesson in the art of the affectionate pastiche , Galaxy Quest rounds up the usual sci-fi serial suspects -- the macho captain ( Tim Allen ) , the window-dressing female ( Sigourney Weaver ) , the Shakespearian thesp ( Alan Rickman ) -- and pulls the old Three Amigos trick of plunging them into a real intergalactic war . The cast is damn close to perfect ( Rickman , in particular , shows previously unimagined comic chops ) , and the idea of a po-facedly literal extra-terrestrial race who have n't figured out that the show is n't a documentary is played for maximum laughs . The result is wickedly smart and knowingly in-jokey without ever ( ahem ) alienating the non-nerds . The fact that it placed higher on this list than any of the official Trek movies speaks volumes , although we await the furious comments ... TH Silent Running proves beyond a doubt what many of us fear : even in space , you ca n't escape hippies . In a future where plants have become extinct on earth , a handful of starships act as greenhouses , preserving the few remaining specimens in the hope of eventually reforesting the planet . But big business never sleeps , no matter what the century , and it 's not long before the vessels are ordered to destroy their cargo and return to commercial duty . Yet the fat cats did n't bank on the power of peace ' n ' love , as personified by Bruce Dern 's impressively and consistently angry pilot Freeman Lowell . He rebels , kills his co-workers and heads off to tend to his plants with a couple of trusty robots in tow . The film may not have aged perfectly ( we can live without those willowy Joan Baez numbers ) , and Lowell is a bit of a blowhard . But the message is eternal : whatever the risks , man must be his own saviour . EF Preparation is key if you 're going to make the leap to genetically perfect ' Valid ' from inherently inferior ' Invalid ' . You 'll need fake fingertips loaded with A-grade blood , a urine pack filled with the right stuff , plus hair and skin samples to complete the illusion . Such is the daily lot of Ethan Hawke 's determined wannabe , dreaming of joining the astronaut elite in Andrew Niccol 's unsettling fantasy on a nature v nurture theme . It posits a world where discrimination -- or ' genoism ' -- is technically illegal , yet employers make hiring decisions based on blood samples . Niccol twists the language to startling effect -- rebellious Hawke is dubbed a ' de-generate ' -- but the film succeeds so well because it 's not content simply to bask in its own ideas , escalating tension when an unrelated murder investigation threatens to unmask the protagonist 's existential masquerade.TJ 1950 clearly marked a new dawn in Hollywood sci-fi , with three keys films on the horizon : Destination Moon , The Thing from Another World and this all-time classic . Robert Wise 's film defines the genre in so many ways , what with Bernard Herrmann 's theremin-heavy score , the extraterrestrial 's archetypal flying saucer , the iconic look of giant robot Gort and even the screen 's most famous snatch of alien dialogue . However it 's the central dilemma of how mankind responds to alien visitors which is key : shoot-first proves our default mode even though humanoid arrival Klaatu has a warning message for our nuclear age and the threat it poses to the rest of the galaxy . This being Hollywood , suave Michael Rennie was perfectly cast as the angular alien -- after all , he came from the distant galaxy of Bradford.TJ Everybody loves dinosaurs -- as long as they 're just bones in a museum . Steven Spielberg 's rollercoaster thriller , adapted from Michael Crichton 's bestselling novel , brings these prehistoric beasts back to life with a clever conceit : scientists have discovered how to harness dino DNA from fossilised amber and billionaire John Hammond ( Richard Attenborough ) has created an island zoo where spectators pay top dollar to view the cretaceous giants . All well and good until the security system failsis tampered with and a T-Rex and friends go on a chomping rampage . The cast , led by Sam Neill as a gruff , kid-hating paleontologist and Jeff Goldblum as a chaos-theory rockstar , is an absolute delight . And Spielberg knows how to build a nail-biter of a set-piece , like the now iconic but ever so tense velociraptor kitchen sequence or the central tyrannosaurus attack that was a landmark showcase for then-nascent CGI technology ( and which , over 25 years later , still looks pretty impressive ) . While the film 's numerous sequels hagve varied in quality -- definitely avoid the third outing -- Jurassic Park remains a gold standard when it comes to huge Hollywood blockbusters . KU ' Beware the beast Man , for he is the devil 's pawn . ' Yes , this searingly effective sci-fi adventure may take place in a world of simians , but the focus of its withering satire remains squarely on their hairless cousins . Effectively , the film splits society into three species : warlike gorillas , intellectual orangutans and cautious chimpanzees ( what happened to the gibbons ? ) , none of whom know what to do with Charlton Heston 's heroic space traveller when he crash-lands in their pseudo-medieval society . The make-up is dated but still great , Jerry Goldsmith 's blooping electronic score still sounds genuinely weird , and the ending is an absolute killer . A recent run of entertaining prequels have only served to enrich the original . TH Do n't despair , struggling filmmakers : you can make your sci-fi classic without a James Cameron-sized budget ( or any budget , really ) . Nor do you need a feature-length running time or , amazingly , a motion-picture camera . Inspired by Hitchcock 's hypnotically romantic Vertigo , French New Waver Chris Marker created this 28-minute photo-roman composed ( almost ) solely of black-and-white stills , coupled with haunted narration . In it , Paris is reduced to radioactive rubble , but scientists living underground hope to send a dreamer back in time via his strong memories of an alluring woman . The guy sees her in his mind , they begin to flirt and fall in love , and who can blame him if he never wants to return ? Marker lived long enough to see his fatalistic vision become a Bruce Willis movie , 12 Monkeys , but the original ca n't be beat for sheer elegance . It 's a perfect thing.JH Stanley Kubrick 's adaptation of Anthony Burgess ' novel gives us a future version of Britain where the modernist fabric of the 1960s is exaggerated just enough for it to feel both strange and familiar . But this world 's sense of justice is all awry . Alex ( McDowell ) and his fellow ' droogs ' speak Nadsat ( a fictional amalgam of English , Russian and nonsense ) and commit rape for fun . But when Alex is arrested , it 's the state which now appears menacing : he becomes a tool for venal politicians and is subjected to a form of therapy meant to banish his criminal tendencies . That therapy and its effects are some of the most conspicuous sci-fi elements here ( along with the futuristic sets and costumes ) -- Alex 's eyes are held open while he watches repellent imagery ; later , when inspired to be physically or sexually violent , he starts to wretch . Yet perhaps this was n't so fictional after all . Kubrick and Burgess were satirising new forms of psychotherapy , while Cold War totalitarianism was also on their minds . Sci-fi fans will also appreciate that a minor character , Julian , is played by Dave Prowse , aka Darth Vader.DC Establishment scaremongering about the communist threat against American freedom of conscience seemingly underpins this drumhead-tight B-thriller about sinister extraterrestrial pods taking over small-town California in its sleep . The insidious loss of personality and emotion is briskly but chillingly conveyed in the original screen incarnation of a much-filmed Jack Finney story , as Kevin McCarthy 's suave local doctor fights encroaching submission to an alien power which could yet spell curtains for the US of A. Controversy continues to surround the studio-imposed framing device , which softens much of the impact from the rising levels of panic , but does n't entirely erase the film 's fascinating ambiguity . Indeed , it 's equally readable as both a ' reds under the bed ' nightmare , and the polar opposite -- a warning that swallowing the official ideological line without question was turning ordinary Americans into what director Don Siegel termed ' pod people ' . TJ Our voters may agree that Terry Gilliam 's second sci-fi masterwork does n't quite hit the heights of his first , the excellentBrazil , but 12 Monkeys is a disorientating trip all of its own . Bruce Willis plays a low-level criminal in a future earth destroyed by disease , sent back in time to trace the roots of the plague . In the process he manages to fall in love with Madeleine Stowe ( fair enough ) and gets banged up in a mental institution where he stumbles upon Brad Pitt in one of his first and finest roles as a demented , jittery environmental terrorist . The plot , directly inspired by Chris Marker 's photo-roman short a Jet ? e ( see number 28 ) is crammed with temporal twists and surreal turns , disguising the fact that fairly little actually happens . But this is such a bizarre mind-fuck of a film that it hardly matters . Plus , you get to see our Bruce wearing a blonde wig and Hawaiian shirt , which is a huge bonus . EF Many of the greatest science-fiction films are n't really about technological advancements or the great unknown , but rather about how mankind interacts and utilises it . This makes the moral and ethical questions that sci-fi raises the genre 's best and most thought-provoking weapon , and one Ex Machina uses expertly . Writer and director Alex Garland allows for the film 's biggers questions to inhabit the space that other genre movies might fill with action sequences , allowing for a slow sinking horror as the film unfolds . Oscar Isaac chills as Nathan , the psychopathic yet charismatic billionaire founder of the search engine company that protagonist Caleb , played by Domhnall Gleeson , works for . The camerawork , sound and setting all heighten the film 's intensity , as well as the intensity of the situation that Caleb finds himself in once he 's confronted with Ava , the humanoid robot that Nathan has created . It 's thrilling because the audience is never quite sure whose side to be on . Ava 's consciousness ( or lack thereof ? ) is tricky to ascertain , while Nathan 's intentions are never truly clear . Likewise , Caleb leaves you questioning just how he could be so na ? ve . The three of them dance around ambiguously until the film 's bloody conclusion , which helps cement this film as one of the best techno-thrillers of all time.AK Initially it was a dream project for Stanley Kubrick -- a near-future tale , based on Brian Aldiss ' short story , of a robot boy programmed with the ability to love . Eventually Kubrick decided the tale was a better fit for the sensibilities of his colleague Steven Spielberg , who embarked on the film as a tribute after the visionary director 's death in 1999 . Mechanical David ( Osment ) is a quintessential Spielberg protagonist , a perpetual adolescent doomed to forever long for the needy surrogate mother ( O'Connor ) who adopts and then abandons him . Circumstances send David on a dangerous journey to discover his maker , a nightmarish trek ( with many allusions to that other lost boy , Pinocchio ) that includes a sinister mechanical gigolo ( Law ) , a tech-phobic Flesh Fair , a visit to a half-submerged Manhattan and a controversial , highly emotional climax that lingers in the heart and the mind . KU Michael Gondry 's romance takes science fiction and elevates it with sophistication and a neurotic sheen . Gondry became more capable than his usual craftsy music videos , and Charlie Kaufman , the screenwriter , proved himself deeper than his reputation suggested . The biggest revelation comes in the shape of Jim Carrey and his turn as the squirmingly uncomfortable Joel . It 's a standout performance for his career , the moment where his grasping for dramatic depth actually succeeds . Meanwhile , Kate Winslet plays Clementine , one of the great sphinxes in modern movies : voluminous , punkish , soulful , cherishable . She would be hard to forget after a breakup . The inevitability of the scientist 's failure to successfully erase love , or at least the memory of love , is pertinent : Joel 's mind has too many corners and nooks , much like life itself . JR Let it be stressed : at the root of every great sci-fi film is a killer script , not special effects or lasers . Working with writer Bob Gale , director Robert Zemeckis built so many dazzling curlicues into this ' 80s-to- ' 50s time-travel adventure , audiences were turned on by their minds as well as the flux capacitor . It helps when your star is Michael J Fox , captured at the peak of his youthful heroism . Marty McFly 's personal ambitions are thwarted by economic reality , and Back to the Future is subversive enough to suggest that life 's achievements -- indeed a whole family 's happiness -- come from boldness , confidence and a swift punch outside the Enchantment Under the Sea dance . Crazy professor Christopher Lloyd steals all of his moments , but the movie 's most exquisite creation may be Crispin Glover 's painfully defeated George McFly , a mouse in need of a lion 's courage . JR So much snarky fun is made of the high-minded parallels between this pastel-shaded , slightly campy sci-fi classic and the plot of Shakespeare 's The Tempest that it 's easy to overlook the film 's many original ideas . No other sci-fi film up to this point had dealt with such powerful concepts : an entire race of alien telepaths brought low by their own vaulting ambition ; a man so consumed by Freudian passion that he ca n't bear to let his daughter out of his sight ; a spaceship full of ordinary guys just bored to death of intergalactic travel . Add to this some still-impressive effects , a wonderful swooping electronic score and the dry , ironic presence of that mechanical icon Robbie the Robot , and the result is a film that stands up to modern scrutiny at every turn.TH Is there another film that leaves audiences as sick to the stomach as The Fly ? David Cronenberg pulls a sly trick , lulling us with a sweet screwball comedy as journalist Geena Davis meets Jeff Goldblum 's eccentric scientist at a convention . He takes her home to show her his telepods ( ahem ) , and it 's not long before romance blooms . But following a lover 's tiff , Goldblum drunkenly uses himself as a human guinea pig -- not noticing the housefly that darts into the machine after him . There are scenes in The Fly -- Davis 's dream of pupal birth , the arm-wrestling contest , Goldblum 's repulsive but somehow tragic mutations -- that are impossible to forget . In the late ' 80s the film was read as an allegory of the AIDS crisis . But writer-director Cronenberg said in later interviews that its themes are more universal than that : ' ageing and death -- something all of us have to deal with . ' CC Alfonso Cuar ? n 's modern masterpiece did n't precisely predict the future , but it got pretty close to predicting how the future would feel . No , the world is not in the throes of a mass infertility crisis , but anyone alive in 2023 will recognise the dystopian anxiety the movie evokes . Clive Owen 's cynical **29;1479;TOOLONG is an avatar for everyone whose soul has grown calloused in the face of an ever-worsening climate crisis , widening economic disparities , technological alienation , the rising tide of fascism , etc . Shoot , the London it largely takes place in does n't even look much different than the London of today , just a touch grayer than usual ... somehow . But Children of Men is not a film without humour -- and certainly not without excitement . In fact , it contains two of the most eye-popping , stomach-knotting action scenes in movie history : an absolutely panic-inducing car ambush , in which legendary cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki literally drops the viewer into the passenger seat as the vehicle comes under fire on a narrow rural road ; and the now iconic , ten-minute , single-shot battle sequence toward the end , which Cuar ? n shoots with gripping , documentary-style realism . It 's a scene made even more powerful when the action abruptly stops , and a glimmer of hope pierces the gloom . MS This is the moody , melancholic original that inspired Steven Soderbergh 's 2002 remake ( see entry 92 ) . Russian director Andrei Tarkovksy 's adaptation of Stanislaw Lem 's futuristic novel is also a companion piece to Stanley Kubrick 's epochal 2001 ... , with which it is most often compared . Our human protagonist is Kris Kelvin ( Donatas Banionis ) , a grief-stricken scientist still mourning his long-dead wife , Hari . After an earthbound prologue that culminates in a mesmerising drive through an otherworldly metropolis , Kelvin journeys to a space station orbiting Solaris , a sentient planet that apparently has the power to resurrect dead beings . In the midst of investigating these claims , his spouse ( Natalya Bondarchuk ) miraculously reappears , and things only get stranger from there . Tarkovsky is less concerned with genre trappings than he is with creating a profoundly suggestive atmosphere : the space station itself , with its run-down , echoing corridors , is like a haunted house where the inhabitants ' forlorn memories of love and the motherland come to literal life . KU Contrary to what the last three decades might suggest , James Cameron does n't need a budget the size of a small country 's GDP to produce a good movie -- he proved it early on with the lean , mean original iteration of The Terminator . Give the man a gazillion dollars , though , and he 'll produce more than just a good movie : he 'll give you a gosh-dang cultural event . And so it was with T2 . At the time , it was the most expensive movie ever made , and it damn sure looked like it . Audiences had n't seen anything quite like the liquid-metal T-1000 , played in human form by Robert Patrick as an emotionless killing machine successfully masquerading as a cop . Watching his head regenerate after it 's shotgunned in half still leaves jaws on floors 30 years later . It was also just straight-up cool , in a way few action flicks ever are . The catchphrases ? Newly-shredded Linda Hamilton in a tank top brandishing a machine gun ? Edward Furlong 's bangs ? Shoot , the Guns n ' Roses video where Arnold Swarzenegger stalks the band from the floor of the club ? C'm on . But for all its helicopter explosions and semi-truck chases , Cameron still manages to tell a prescient story about the importance of human connection in a technologically isolating world , whether it 's between mother and son , husband and wife , or a boy and his cyborg bestie . MS It may have been loosely based on a science fiction novel -- Roadside Picnic by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky -- but Stalker pushes the definition further than just about any other film on this list . The story follows three men who enter the mysterious and guarded Zone , nursing dreams of wish-fulfillment , but that 's hardly what the movie is ' about ' . As with all of Tarkovsky 's work , Stalker is concerned with mood , with mystery , with decay and sorrow , with creating a contemplative space in which the audience can explore and come to terms with their own reactions to the material on offer . This is perhaps the darkest of the great director 's films -- it 's impossible not to view the Zone , a promised land which turns out to be an abandoned industrial hellhole , as a savage comment on Soviet ambition -- but at least there 's a glimmer of hope in the film 's heart-stopping final scene . TH Duncan Jones 's directorial debut is a quiet , simple little film , filled with enough nods back to the classic sci-fi of the ' 70s to give it whiplash . In its broadest sense , this is a movie about the dehumanising impact of technology , as Sam Rockwell 's lone astronaut waits impatiently to head home from his mining base on the moon . But it also deals with the sheer overwhelming monotony of everyday life and the crushing depression of solitude . Jones keeps everything simple , confining the film to a handful of rooms with a couple of outdoor scenes , and limiting the characters to two Sam Rockwells , plus Kevin Spacey 's voice-only turn as a controlling robot . It 's a visually beautiful film , unfolding tidily but with a sharp sting in its tail . We only wish that more contemporary sci-fi emphasised ideas over explosions.EF With Mark Zuckerberg , Bill Gates and the rest of Silicon Valley pushing society towards the ' Metaverse ' -- the much-touted next stage of the internet that will see the IRL and URL worlds converge thanks to technology like virtual and augmented reality , and forever online connectivity -- the world that the Wachowski sisters created 23 years ago does n't seem so fantastical . Sure , civilisation has n't crumbled ( yet ) and there are n't sentient machines keeping human beings in amniotic pods plugged into a virtual world 24/7 , but given the way things are heading are we really that far off ? Fatalistic as that sounds , this late ' 90s cyber-action classic provides a glimmer of home : we can still break out of the Matrix should we be so inclined . That it delivers such a message -- that there 's life outside of our digital prisons -- via kung-fu , groundbreaking digital effects , pounding industrial techno , enough black PVC and leather to make you sweat , not to mention some very retro wraparound shades , makes it that much more fun . Even the sequels , which were maligned at the time , are worth a revisit and still provide an edge-of-you-seat popcorn experience . In fact , the adventures of Neo and Trinity remain so relevant that in 2021 Lana Wochowski returned to this universe for The Matrix Resurrections , a highly enjoyable if bloated commentary on wish-fulfillment , grief , the Disneyfication of culture and capitalism 's insidious neutering of artistic expression . Two decades later , The Matrix remains sci-fi at its smartest . AK The opening sequence of The Thing is unbeatable -- a relentless , ice-cold nerve-jangler . A helicopter flies in low over an American scientific research station in the Antarctic . Its crew of Norwegian scientists are hell-bent on shooting a dog , which bounds away from them in the snow like it 's a game of chase . The dog turns out to be a parasitic alien organism that can imitate any life form , and which proceeds to pick off the Yankees one by one . John Carpenter prolongs this gut-twistingly tense paranoia throughout the whole film , and Kurt Russell leads an ensemble cast of totally believable , blue collar guys , bored to death and stir crazy . The Thing is Carpenter 's favourite of his films , but it disappointed at the box office ( the fact that it came out two weeks after ET might explain why ) . ' The movie was hated . Even by science-fiction fans , ' Carpenter later told Time Out . Not anymore . CC The legend goes that , on the set of Close Encounters , Fran ? ois Truffaut suggested to Spielberg that his next movie should be something personal and honest , ' a little film about kids ' . When the Frenchman found out that said family flick would also involve a stranded alien , he laughed out loud . We reckon he was laughing on the other side of his impish visage when ET went on to become the most successful film of all time . Arguably , it 's now the victim of its own box-office clout : all those cuddly toys and ' phone home ' t-shirts have helped to disguise the fact that this is really an indie flick . Minute in scale , intimate in tone , it is one of the finest films ever made about how kids think and how families fit together . TH The Empire Strikes Back is truly wonderful : a textbook example of how to take a successful but fairly simplistic sci-fi formula and transform it into something emotionally absorbing , philosophically rich and -- most importantly -- deliriously enjoyable . For perhaps the only time in the original film sequence , George Lucas 's stated ambition to marry ' 40s-style derring-do with modern-day SFX really reaches fruition . Big Sleep writer Leigh Brackett 's script may have been all but junked by Lucas and rewriter Lawrence Kasdan , but her old-world sensibilities are all over the finished movie . Nowhere is this more true than in the feisty Bogart-Bacall interactions between rakish rogue Harrison Ford and ice princess Carrie Fisher -- their on-set dust-ups may be legendary , but their on-screen chemistry is unmistakable . It 's a film that strikes a perfect balance between spectacle , character , humour and sentiment . It barrels through icy land battles and asteroid impacts , spiritual awakenings and romantic entanglements , all on the way to a truly operatic climax , the one-two punch of Han Solo 's noble sacrifice followed by Darth Vader 's shocking admission -- still one of the great twists in cinema . TH Let 's head back in time to the days when James Cameron 's only feature film credit was 1981 's Piranha Part Two : The Spawning . While promoting that quickie horror sequel , a dream of a metallic torso pulling itself from an explosion sparked his imagination . He translated his nightmare into this iconic sci-fi feature , made mostly under the radar for $6.4 million and released ( by an initially indifferent Orion Pictures ) to strong reviews and stellar box office . The story is blissfully pulpy : a killer robot in synthetic skin ( Schwarzenegger , then best known for playing a sword-wielding comic-book barbarian ) is sent back in time from a ruined Earth to the present day . His task is to murder Sarah Connor ( Hamilton ) , the mother of the future saviour of humanity . Her protector is Kyle Reese ( Biehn ) , a soldier in the post-apocalyptic war yet to come , who also time-travels back to convince the sceptical Sarah of the danger she 's in . Both humans are eminently likeable , especially Sarah , whose arc from dorky , beleaguered waitress to tough-as-nails fighter ( ' You 're terminated , fucker ! ' ) is giddily satisfying . But it 's Arnold 's show : even with a bare minimum of dialogue ( only 18 lines , one of which is the endlessly quoted catchphrase above ) , he 's a terrifying presence as the near-unstoppable man-machine -- a crystalline vision of technology lethally turning on its creators . KU ' I have recently seen the silliest film , ' wrote HG Wells in the New York Times in 1927 . He was n't alone -- critics hated Fritz Lang 's ambitious epic when it was first released . But over time it has become perhaps the most imitated sci-fi film ever . In a densely packed and towering city of the future , Freder , the son of a wealthy industrialist , falls in love with a girl from the hellish underground slum where workers toil to fuel the lives of those above . It 's impossible to overstate the influence of Metropolis : the evil-twin robot of Freder 's lover Maria inspired C-3PO and the Replicants in Blade Runner , while Lang 's vision of a city of skyscrapers and elevated highways set the blueprint for futuristic cityscapes . Wells mocked the film 's underclass of workers , naively believing that technology would eliminate ' the hopeless drudge stage ' of civilisation . But nearly 100 years on , the film 's depiction of slave labour has never seemed more relevant . CC Jonathan Pryce plays Sam Lowry , an unexceptional everyman who dreams big but lives as a tiny cog in a bewildering machine in Terry Gilliam 's farcical but biting dystopian nightmare -- a film he originally struggled to get to screen when executives bristled at its length and bleak ending . The ex-Python and Time Bandits and 12 Monkeys director conjures up a discomforting retro-futuristic world , setting much of his story in vast warehouse-like offices and cathedral-like industrial spaces . Yes , it 's the future ( sort of ) , but the costumes and movie references ( from Casablanca to Metropolis ) are a nod to the past , and there 's something of the 1940s and George Orwell to the whole thing . Whatever the period , at the film 's heart is the eternal battle between free will and society , alongside a slap-to-the-head conception of what today 's reliance on technology and bureaucracy says about what the future might hold . Lowry dreams of soaring high like a mechanical bird and sweeping a beautiful mystery woman ( Greist ) off her feet . In reality , he finds himself at the heart of a confusing scandal involving presumed terrorists and a case of mistaken identity , reluctantly taking up a job at a government department called Information Retrieval so he can seek answers . The presence of Michael Palin and a sense of Britishness about the whole thing inevitably make Brazil feel like an offshoot of Gilliam 's Monty Python days . But this is something altogether more majestic , ambitious and troubling . For every visual gag about being stuck in an absurd lift , there 's the sight of a government apparatchik in a baby mask or an older woman ( Lowry 's mother ) having her face stretched to combat ageing . It 's Gilliam 's finest hour . DC A pop masterpiece that redefined an industry , Star Wars updated sci-fi with unfashionable positivity , taking home a massive global haul that had studio execs salivating . It 's impossible to imagine what that game-changing summer must have felt like for teenagers accustomed to Rollerball or Logan 's Run . Suffice it to say , the stakes were raised and the space blockbuster was born . Creator George Lucas was the same guy who made 1973 's American Graffiti : keenly attuned to car culture and nostalgia , in love with the horizon , a tinkerer with gears . It 's no surprise that these elements translated so beautifully to the distant planet of Tatooine , where a young man , stranded in a dead-end town and only hoping to head to Tosche Station to pick up some power converters , rises to a life of mythic grandeur . The movie 's technical innovations were seismic , from Ben Burtt 's imaginative sound design to the ingenious creatures and model effects . But chiefly , this was a film that launched a million toys -- and , not insignificantly , a million dreams . Harrison Ford became a megastar overnight ; ditto the black-masked Darth Vader , whose synthesised breathing noises entered the lexicon . It 's easy to forget , in the wake of so many inferior sequels , prequels and one awful Christmas special , how fresh Lucas 's vision was . He 's since become synonymous with trilogy glut , but the soft-spoken director will always have this first foray , a glorious reinvention of the magic of movies . JR Almost three decades on , Aliens still looks like some kind of miracle . How did James Cameron , the veteran of precisely two films ( one of which was unwatchable ) manage to match , some would say improve upon , one of the most inventive sci-fi movies ever made ? Where did that script spring from , so streamlined and propulsive yet at the same time so sharp and quotable ? And how , on a budget that would barely have covered the on-set sandwich trolley for Avatar , did he manage to create such an all-encompassing world , such dangerously droolsome hardware , such repulsively believable xenomorphic monsters ? Admittedly , there are a lot of borrowed ideas in Aliens : the creatures , corridors , corporations and kick-ass heroine from the first movie , the sympathetic android from Blade Runner , militaristic dialogue straight from a Vietnam flick , costumes and weapons torn from the pages of countless comic books . But Cameron does n't just use these tropes , he develops them at every turn : Weaver 's Ripley becomes a maternal figure grappling with loss ; Bishop the android is glassy and self-mocking , comfortable with his artificial existence ; the hapless grunts are more than just meat , they 're fully-fleshed characters . Cameron has never managed to repeat the trick . There are great moments in his later movies , but like his Alien antecedent Ridley Scott , Jim did his best work in his second and third films . If all he 'd left us was Aliens , he 'd still be a legend : here is one of the most effortlessly entertaining , endlessly rewatchable movies of all time , the work of a filmmaker blazing like rocket fuel . TH For those of us who do n't bow down to any big , bearded spirits in the sky , the discovery of alien life might be the closest we 'll ever come to having a religious experience . And if that 's the case , then Close Encounters might be our Old Testament . Steven Spielberg 's film manages to get its point across without resorting to intimidation or cheap scare tactics . This is one of the few movies in history to appeal almost exclusively to what Abraham Lincoln called , ' the better angels of our nature ' : creativity , community , discovery and the capacity for wonder . With the arguable exception of ET , this tale of benevolent alien contact is Spielberg 's most personal statement . It 's the heartfelt cry of a boyish 31-year-old who ca n't rationalise his own self-centred ambitions with the demands of family and responsibility . Possessed by a creative compulsion he ca n't understand , everyman hero Roy Neary ( Dreyfuss ) alienates his wife and comes close to mental breakdown before discovering the source of the visions in his head . Spielberg has said that if he made the film today he would n't allow Roy to abandon his loved ones at the end -- and yet this final , painfully human act of selfishness is what gives the film its aching power . Well , that and the breathtaking special effects . The appearance of the mothership over the mountain is one of the great visual punches in cinema . And the gloriously unflashy performances -- Truffaut and Bob Balaban make a perfect nerdy double-act . Oh , and let 's not forget John Williams 's pounding , experimental soundtrack . How many non-musicals feature their score so prominently ? The result is pure joy distilled onto celluloid . Maybe God does have a beard , after all . TH Space is n't all about glamorously cavorting across the galaxy , swashbuckling your way around undiscovered planets and canoodling with saucy green-skinned , many-breasted alien females . Space can also be a bleak , functional hellscape -- just another workplace . And so it is in Ridley Scott 's gruesome horror epic , which pits a team of disgruntled space jockeys against a single , drooling , utterly vicious and single-minded critter . Alien was the film that turned the Star Wars template on its head , keeping the cutting-edge effects and sense of a used universe , but making it so much more real , gritty and , ironically , more human . The result is a grey , sombre affair filled with grotesque , uncomfortably Freudian imagery -- phallic creatures , pulsating eggs , a computer named MUTHUR , that nightmarish birth scene ... But it 's also a masterclass in cinematic tension . Artist HR Giger 's creature is a gothic nightmare of a foe , kept hidden for most of the film , leaving audiences to scour the corridors of the starship Nostromo themselves , constantly waiting for ol ' two-mouths to come leaping out . It 's a grim haunted-house movie that has rarely been equalled , so filthy and industrial that we feel like we 're stuck on this hulking rust bucket too , surrounded by panicky engineers , backstabbing androids and a monster from the very depths of our nightmares . EF We 're so accustomed to cinema being behind the political and cultural curve , that when a truly groundbreaking work arrives , no one 's sure how to deal with it . Blade Runner was viewed as a disaster upon first release : here was a glum , grimy , neon-in-the-rain vision of the near future , complete with a taciturn anti-hero whose own moral compass seemed marginally less functional than the Replicant ' villains ' he was assigned to hunt down . It 's a film that , upon first viewing , feels almost unbearably harsh and claustrophobic , lingering on images of cruelty , decay and exploitation . It was only years later -- abetted enormously by the film 's ' Director 's Cut ' reissue , stripped of its clunky voiceover and crass happy ending -- that we began to realise exactly what Blade Runner was offering alongside its spectacular visuals . This was n't just a grim dystopian action flick , but a meditation on the meaning of life , morality , memory , creation , procreation , nature , nurture -- the whole shebang . If Harrison Ford 's Deckard is himself a Replicant -- and the film strongly implies that he is -- then how do any of us know which aspects of our psyche are ' real ' and which ' created ' ? If the robots are programmed with more soul and compassion than the humans , how do you tell the difference ? And does it matter ? Blade Runner is the kind of spectacle that science fiction was invented for : immersive other worlds that can be explored to reflect our own fears , doubts and disturbances . And it succeeds flawlessly . TH And so we reach the top of our list ( by a galactic margin ) , a film that scrapes the farthest edge of cinematic achievement . By 1963 and his fearsomely brilliant Dr. Strangelove , Stanley Kubrick was already the most scientific mind to ever step behind a camera . It made sense , then , that he would dive into an unprecedented four-year production process to bring sci-fi up to his exacting standards . The results were staggering : a poetic yet brainy conception by legendary author Arthur C Clarke , who bridged the ' dawn of man ' to the brink of the unknowable ; sets and designs that outdid NASA for realism ; and a waltzing mood that inspired awe and mass sales of Johann Strauss . Secretly , 2001 ... is also the subtlest of dark comedies , one that pits grand human ambitions against HAL 9000 's murderous automated impulses . ( Douglas Rain 's placid voice performance as the supercomputer is Kubrick 's craftiest piece of direction . ) The film was impressively open-ended for a mass entertainment , allowing for plenty of speculation . In a cultural moment when the future seemed impressively at hand , Kubrick dared to suggest that we were n't ready for it as a species . The way ahead is full of stars -- we only need the minds to take in the view . JR |

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

It says a heck of a lot about Scottie Scheffler 's game right now that he feels he 's had a difficult week but still goes round eight-under-par at the Masters and is currently fourth on the leaderboard . While he struggled out there today and on Friday , having battled to overcome an injury earlier in the season , the defending champion was buoyed by his performance at Augusta this week . Yeah , I think I hung really tough this week . I think today was another good example of where I was n't giving myself as many opportunities as I 'm used to , but holed some really key putts and really hung in there . You look at the par save I had on 2 , I 'm not going to make par on that hole if I 'm getting overly frustrated with my poor swing off the tee . Same thing kind of goes for I made a huge par putt there on 11 , too . Hit a decent iron shot but barely off and all of a sudden in a really hard spot to get up-and-down . The margins on this golf course are really small , and so I 've got to be on top of my game if I 'm going to be hitting it on the right shelf mand this week I was just a touch off . Justin Rose is staying warm on the range and has already struck around 15 balls out there as the joint leader waits to see whether he 'll be called upon for a play-off . McIlroy , though , is pressing once again . A simply stunning approach with his eight iron on 17 sees him go within a few feet of the hole and he taps in for another birdie - his sixth of the day to go 12-under for the round . Interesting watching McIlroy here . He 's been a lot more animated during this round than yesterday and has just taken himself away from the patrons around the green on 17 to calm his nerves as he prepares for his final hole . His approach play all week has been sensational from tricky spots on the course and that might just be up there with his best yet . With a blocked lie on the left of the fairway on 15 , the Northern Irishman draws a sensational seven-iron around the trees to long his ball right on the green only a few feet away from the hole and will be putting for eagle . After placing T2 in his first start at The Masters , the Swedish golfer finds himself back at the top of the leaderboard tied at 10-under with Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose . Aberg really could be a couple of strokes further ahead after he agonisingly missed a couple of putts earlier in his round . but he 's just birdied two of his last three holes to give himself a chance at winning the Green Jacket . It comes as Justin Rose , now about to tee off on 18 , fluffed a par putt on 17 to hold his standing as the outright leader . With three players on -10 , there 's every chance we could go to a play-off later this afternoon ... McIlroy looks fuming as the scorers adjust the big leaderboard next to the 13th green to show that Justin Rose has joined him at the top of the leaderboard . The leader after 36 holes has put together a remarkable putting display , tapping in another birdie on the 16th to get back to -11 and climb back to the top of the leaderboard having dropped off the top on Saturday morning . Having won the Masters in 2014 , the US Open the same year and The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale just two years later , the 31-year-old just needs to win the PGA Championship to join those five golfing greats . But Spieth , who wrapped up at Augusta with a final score of three-under-par , believes Rory McIlroy is ' more deserving of the honour ' than himself ... Yeah , I think he 's more than deserving of having that honor . He 's obviously in control . As we all know , anything can happen now . He 's just hit it right on 11 so he 's got to navigate that situation and then navigate the 12th and the 13th . If he gets to 14 with a decent lead , with the way he 's driving the ball and the way he 's striking his irons , he should be in pretty good position . But the thing is you just saw Rosey I think just went birdie-birdie-birdie on 11 , 12 , 13 , and then 14 and 15 are very birdieable pins today . It 's almost like if I were Rory I 'd wish that the pins were harder and it was playing a little harder at this point because he 's not going to be able to take the foot off the gas , and I believe he knows that . If he can escape 11 and 12 with two pars , he should be in pretty good shape . 13 Apr 2025 - 21:20 Aussie golfer Min Woo Lee has opened up on just how tough The Masters really is . The 26-year-old clinched his first PGA Tour victory at the Texas Children 's Houston Open prior to heading to Augusta , and took a moment to compare the competitions , having finished his week at Augusta six-over-par . Yeah , best players in the world here , small field , and it 's -- I think the thing is , it 's got to be one of the most mentally challenging courses . I had a chat with my caddie Bo walking up 18 , and I just asked him if it 's more of a mental or a technical battle here . Obviously you need to be on with your game , but I think the mental has to be right up there . I think the best top players mentally are going to be at the top of the leaderboard , which I think they are . That leaderboard up there is very -- has a lot of major champion winners and guys who have played well over the past whatever years . A lot of learning to do . I 'm really early in the stages of hopefully my career at Augusta , so I ca n't wait for whatever the next few years have in store . He 's held even par through his last four holes and after a solid start with a birdie on the second he is struggling a little with his flat stick , having averaged 1.89 putts on average per hole - which is more than the field average of 1.59 . Bryson has also interestingly been hooking quite a few of his long irons and drives . Perhaps he 's pulling on his stroke as he looks to add more power to keep up with McIlroy ? Who knows . What we do know , is that you can never predict what Bryson will do next . A bit of momentum and he could very quickly pick things up . He loves to feed off the crowd and revealed how he processes each shot on Saturday ... Going back to the major championships , I 've just learned . It takes experience to feed off of that energy , you know , when you 're going super low and you 're feeding off of your partner . When I 'm out there filming , you have to learn how to like control yourself and settle down , okay , all right , we have to make birdie on the next hole , we have to do this , whatever it is . It 's the same situation out here where you 're just , essentially , feeding off of the Patrons , and then you go , all right , I have to settle in , I have to hit this next shot . It 's a lot of , like , reacting and being who I am , which is , you know , you guys can make -- you guys can say whatever you want , but I 'm just a little different . And then off of that , I just settle back in and go , all right , this is the next shot . I have to execute it to the best of my ability . So it 's a lot of outward expression , and then I go , all right , that 's enough and I focus back in . Justin Rose is on the march ! He 's three holes ahead of McIlroy and Bryson , but goes level with the American and Ludvig Aberg , draining in two spectacular putts on 11 and 12 . His long-range putt on the par four 11th hole was the pick of the pair , rolling his ball perfectly along the green and into the cup from around 40-feet . The Englishman had been less than impressed with his shot into the green , though , and bizarrely made several clucking sounds as he walked down the hill at 11 , as if he was calling himself a chicken , for backing out of putting the ball closer to the pin . Bounding in confidence , he follows that up on the 12th with another stunning putt for a birdie and suddenly , he 's back up to second . At 44 , Rose is playing some of the golf of his life , and it might be down to a little intervention from his wife ... McIlroy revealed he had watched Premier League football yesterday to take his mind off things before shooting a third-round 66 to grab the lead . Fortunately , he arrived at the course today before his beloved Manchester United had been walloped 4-1 by Newcastle . The crowd here appears to be a 50/50 split . McIlroy emerged from the clubhouse with a smile and marched to the first tee to huge cheers . DeChambeau walked out around 10 minutes later , fist-bumping all the way , and the noise was repeated . It 's been that way on the first seven holes throughout each player 's ups and downs . Rory McIlroy revealed earlier this week that he 's been getting into fiction novels ahead of The Masters . The four-time major winner revealed he 's been reading The Reckoning by John Grisham and is now well into the book . ' Book is going okay . I 'm probably only on like chapter 6 , ' he said yesterday . McIlroy also shed some light on what things are like for a pro golfer on the morning of the final round of The Masters ... These are busy weeks , and by the time I get home and get dinner and shower , it 's like , you know -- again , it 's either a toss-up between a show or a book . I think right now I 'd just rather watch the show . And then this morning , you know -- I 'm sure it will be a similar tee time tomorrow as it was today . So I watched a little bit of Premier League football this morning , and then I actually watched " Zootopia " with Poppy . Very , very good movie if anyone 's interested . And then by that time , I try to get to the golf course three , three and a half hours before I play , and then I feel like those three hours when I get here go pretty quick from locker room , up to the gym , warm up , back here , back in the locker room , food , shower , get ready , go to the range . I feel like that three hours goes really , really quickly . It 's just that trying to fill that time between sort of 7:00 and 10:30 before heading to the golf course . You know , thankfully there are some good options . But the one thing I 've tried to do a good job of this week is just not being on the phone and just trying to stay clear of that and do other things . He 's just dropped a wedge 150 yards , over a towering set of pines to put his ball within around eight feet of the pin on the par four seventh , agonisingly just trickling his ball past the hole . That was some shot and McIlroy ca n't believe it either , he 's laughing in amazement to his caddie Harry Diamond as they strut up the fairway together . But he ca n't putt out for birdie ! He leaves his putt short ! But I think the world No 2 will take that result from where he was , even if he ca n't get down to -13 . Bryson , meanwhile , finds himself in a horrible lie inside the front greenside bunker and he clips his ball out onto the green but reads the pace and contours on the dance floor perfectly , giving himself a five-footer for par . He 's another player who has toiled with the course today carding three birdies and two bogeys . Kim , though , took to X on Saturday night to open up on what it was like hearing the roars from the crowds following McIlroy yesterday and how he was left staggered watching the Northern Irishman 's name fly up the leaderboard during the third round . ' I was playing when those big roars from Rory was happening but it 's impossible to know who 's making them , ' he wrote on X. ' Then I see the big scoreboards and went . Unbelievable . It 's really cool to hear the roars reach other holes since they always talk about that on TV . ' He 's been battling the course so far and has had to wait to card his second birdie of the round , but does so on the par-three sixth , holing out a long and winding 18-foot putt . He has the chance to add another score to his card on the next hole but Aberg 's birdie putt agonisingly just lips out . Aberg has missed two consecutive cuts coming into this weekend 's event , and despite having finished as a runner-up here last year , the European Ryder Cup hero has shirked his PGA Tour demons to get up to third on the leaderboard . He went viral for this slightly bizarre moment at the 2024 Masters , when a patron appeared to knock his snack out of his hand as he fist-bumped the fans while walking off the 18th . There 's been a lot of talk today about how Bryson DeChambeau left the 18th green on Saturday . To be fair , he had just birdied the last with a brilliant texas wedge , but still , he was pumped . It was reminiscent of his win at Pinehurst last year where he was running around with the US Open trophy , handing it to fans around the golf course to hold and enjoy with him . Bryson yesterday was seen staring down the patrons in the crowd after tapping in a birdie and looked to be feeding back off their energy . Once a polarising figure on the PGA Tour , Bryson is now one of the most loved golfers in the world for his unique and entertaining style of play . When asked whether he ever fears burn out after exerting so much energy around the course during a tournament week , hitting nearly 400 balls on the range on Tuesday , heading out late last night to practice his putting and fist bumping patrons , Bryson appeared to shrug his shoulders . I 've done this a few times now , and I know when my limit is . Definitely the most important thing is going back and relaxing and having a fun , enjoyable night . You know , just hanging out with my friends and family , and just being myself . You know , keep being myself . When I 'm more of myself , I feel like I can keep going no matter what . It 's the times where you have to put on a face or do something or whatever that you do n't feel like you can keep going . So for me , the more I can just be myself , the longer I can go . Two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson has just rolled an absolutely incredible 44-foot putt in on the par-three 16th to get himself down to -3 . Watson has the patrons around this stunning par three on their feet with that effort . The 2012 and 2014 Masters champion , who has enjoyed an excellent week back at The Masters this week , even says he 's had to re-learn a lot of the greens at Augusta , despite having played this illustrious golf course so many times over the years . Well , you 're always learning because weather dictates things . Weather has dictated that there 's new greens out there , and so now you have to re-learn those greens . There was a couple pin placements today that I do n't know if I 've ever seen . So yeah , you 're always trying to get information . But as you get older that information does n't do as good as it used to . By the way , Watson 's stunning shot on 10th on his way to win the 2012 Masters goes down as one of my greatest-ever shots at The Masters . Ludvig Aberg could have risen to eight-under-par after his first four holes . He scrambles well to make par on the par-five second , with a lovely texas wedge to 8 feet of the hole before just leaving a putt wide on the par-three fourth , ultimately tapping in for par . Aberg , though , is bounding in confidence after this week . He 's played brilliantly after a few difficult finishes on the PGA Tour this season . Speaking yesterday , he told reporters : I think just knowing that I can be in this situation and still play really good golf . I think I teed off in the second or third to last group last year , and it was really cool to feel all the buzz and feel all the excitement and nerves and still able to go out and shoot a good score . Barring a blip on the first , going down for bogey , Johnson eagles the second with a stunning approach on the second to take him back to -5 for the week . Yesterday , he shot one of the best rounds of the week , hitting a low 66 , that included six birdies and one eagle to get down to -4 heading into Sunday . After the anguish of the 2023 Ryder Cup , Johnson has been back on the course working on his own game and admits he is made up that the fruits of his labour are coming to the fore . I mean , it 's been -- I 've had it a few days this year . If I go back to it , you 'd have to go back to my results . I have n't played a ton . It 's not like I 'm playing that much . I 'm 49 , so I 'm not playing quite as much as I used to . But I had some days out on the West Coast , Sony , where I was right there three two or three days . I played well at Torrey . I do n't play way well at Torrey . So opportunities is what I 'm saying . I do n't hit the ball far enough to compete on some of these venues , but it does n't mean I ca n't have a decent finish . It does n't mean I ca n't make cuts . It does n't mean I ca n't still do it . I do n't know . Today was an extreme , obviously , example of the fruits of my labor showing up . I 've just been scrolling as Rory McIlroy saves par on the second hole and I 've come across this very cool thread that many golf lovers will enjoy . Players , when invited to The Masters , must RSVP to Augusta National that they will be attending . And while we all know what the players invites look like , The Masters ' official X account has revealed some of the very cool responses they 've received from the likes of Seve Ballesteros , Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods . Meanwhile , Bryson 's just got down for a birdie to take the outright lead . 13 Apr 2025 - 18:59 The fairways on hole two are absolutely crammed full of spectators here at Augusta . Hundreds have turned out to watch these two golfing goliaths go toe-to-toe and they are putting on a show . McIlroy gets out of the fairway bunker but his approach comes up short of the green . Meanwhile , Bryson lands his second shot on the back right of the green - he 'll have a pretty long putt in . Meanwhile , Justin Rose 's hard work has become unstuck as he concedes a bogey on hole four to come back down to -6 . It 's been fascinating to watch Rory McIlroy make his way around Augusta National this week . It 's a place that holds so many mixed emotions for the Northern Irishman , who has missed cuts , come so agonisingly close to winning and has played some of the golf of his life around this beautiful track . Whatever the outcome is later tonight , McIlroy has been exceptional this week , with Saturday 's front nine being some of the best golf he 's played in his career . Despite a bogey on the eighth , it seemed as though the whole field was left gobsmacked by the numbers he was putting on the board . First , it was the birdie on one , then the eagle chip-in on two . A brilliant putt on three saw him go four under for the first trio of holes . Three was the magic number yesterday with McIlroy making history as the first and only player at Augusta to hit consecutive threes in his first six holes at Augusta . He 's been very methodic in the way he 's carried himself around Augusta this week - showing fleeting moments of emotion , but keeping everything in check , not letting the lows on Thursday dog him too much and not letting the highs of Saturday overwhelm him . The 35-year-old admits he does n't want to be a total robot out there on the course and does want to ride the momentum . But he wants to keep things in check . He gave a brief nod of thanks to the crowd and his playing partner Corey Conners yesterday after making that chip on the second . But he looks focused on getting over the line this week . ' I think I am quite a sort of momentum player , ' he said on Saturday . ' So I have to -- there is a balance , though . You know , you have to sort of try to ride that momentum as much as you can but then also temper it with a little bit of , you know , rationale and logic . ' And so it is , it 's a fine dance . But I certainly do n't want to be a robot out there , but at the same time I do n't want to be too animated , either . ' For him , McIlroy has been living in a bubble this week as he attempts to shut out all the outside noise and chatter about whether he can finally clinch the career grand slam and the coveted Green Jacket . He revealed he 's written a few notes on the back of his yardage book to help him stay grounded and focused throughout his round , though was unwilling to say what they were . ' Yeah , I mean , there 's -- you know , I have a few little notes written in the back of my yardage book that I glance at every now and again while I 'm walking the fairway . You know , just little reminders . Little , you know , one- or two-sentence things . ' The former US Open champion rips a stunning wedge to within 20-feet of the hole and drains the put to kick off his final round . Tommy Fleetwood , on the other hand is struggling to get back into minus figures having navigated his way around Amen Corner level par . The man from Merseyside had a bit of a turbulent start to the round going birdie , birdie , bogey , bogey , birdie , but has struggled to score since the fifth . Elsewhere , I 've been very pleased to see Max Homa do so well this week at the masters . He 's level at the start of his round and through four holes , but has really struggled with his swing in recent months . Homa has missed the cut in each of his last five PGA Tour events in what 's been a wretched run of form . He 's now three-under at the Masters , and could even push for a top-10 finish , if he can claw back a few shots . 13 Apr 2025 - 18:14 Nick Faldo has joked he wants Irish Stew at the Champions dinner next year as he hopes Rory McIlroy can get over the line today to finally end his long wait for a Green Jacket . The three-time Masters champion told Sky Sports golf : ' What a historic day . Can you imagine you 're going to your club right now and you have a chance of winning the spring medal and the autumn cup ? Imagine your nerves and this guy is going out for this ... it 's better than history he 's joining five other guys , what an incredible achievement it could be to win the Grand Slam . ' Here 's what Faldo thinks McIlroy has to do to get the edge over Dechambeau . Hideki Matsuyama could n't quite get through 18 with a flawless card despite posting a brilliant 66 . The 2021 Masters Champion just comes unstuck on the 18th but he 'll be made up with his performance today cutting his score down from +4 to -2 . Tyrrell Hatton has started well too , making birdie on the second after draining a pretty tough putt on the par-five from around 15-feet out . Collin Morikawa is also charging up the leaderboard having birdied the second and third holes and is now up to -5 . It 's been a bit of a busy morning for Rory McIlroy who says he 's been busy watching lots of sport . McIlroy is an investor in Alpine and said he enjoyed sitting down watching Pierre Gasly and Jack Doohan finish seventh and 13th on Sunday in the Bahrain Grand Prix . Fortunately Sunday mornings are good for sport . I watched Carlos Alcaraz in the tennis in Monte Carlo . I watched a little bit of soccer , a little bit of F1 . So I just tried to keep myself distracted with other sports I guess But once you get to the golf course , things sort of settle down . You get into your routine and you get going and you do what 's familiar which is comforting and , yeah , that 's all I 've been doing . That 's my strategy for the day and just trying to show up with the attitude I 've shown up with over the first three days . This should be a good grouping . The US Ryder Cup star is teeing up with Viktor Hovland and I 'm very interested to see how they both play . Let 's just touch on Shane Lowry 's comments in his interview on Saturday night again , with Lowry fuming at reporters at Augusta National . Lowry cited Collin Morikawa 's comments earlier in the season , where the American refused to talk to journalists after missing out on winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational . Morikawa said he ' did n't owe anyone anything ' and copped flack from Paul McGinlee and Brandel Chamblee . McIlroy had snubbed a post round interview after missing out on winning the US Open at Pinehurst last year , and he sided with Morikawa 's comments . ' Well , he 's right , ' McIlroy said at Augusta this week . ' Not that I think he could have worded it a little bit better , but look , every other athlete , whether it be in the NBA , NFL , they 're obligated to speak to you guys after a game . We 're not . ' Whether that 's something that the PGA Tour looks to in terms of putting that into their rules and regulations , but as long as that 's not the case and we have that option to opt out whenever we want , expect guys to do that from time to time . ' After leading the field for 36 holes , Justin Rose 's putting and wedges let him down during his third round , with the 2013 US Open Champion conceding five bogeys to card a third-round 75 . The Englishman appeared to fade out of contention while playing alongside Bryson De Chambeau yesterday . He noticeably struggled with the speed of the greens on seven , missed a 5-foot put on 16 and then three-putted on 18 . Interestingly , Rose hit 89 per cent of greens in regulation on Saturday , putting himself into some good spots to score but just was n't clinical enough . He finished up his third round making an average of two putts per hole , having previously averaged 1.39 putts per hole during his first round . The Englishman will start his final round at +5 and stands a chance of climbing back into contention if he can claim a few strokes back early on . Justin Thomas is having a difficult final round , after beginning his round at four-over , the American Ryder Cup star fell to +6 after back-to-back bogeys at three and four . He 's pulled back a shot on the fifth , but this is really not representative of his form this season . After slumping out of form over the past 12 months , missing the cut at the Players , Masters and US Open in 2024 , Thomas has rekindled things this year , placing as a runner-up in two events this season . But he has struggled in his final two rounds at Augusta this week , going in for 76 on Saturday . Meanwhile , Tommy Fleetwood is also battling the course , having gone birdie , birdie , bogey , bogey , birdie across his first five holes ! First out today , Brian Campbell is mounting a late charge up the leaderboard but sadly he 's running out of holes . He 's gone six-under par for his round and could even have dropped to seven-under had he not carded a bogey on the par-three fourth . It looks like he 's about to concede another shot on the 14th having found himself into the pine straw , but what a final round this is shaping up to be from the American who started the day bottom of the leaderboard at +5 . 13 Apr 2025 - 16:32 Sir Nick Faldo has lifted the lid on the one thing McIlroy is up against today as the Northern Irishman bids to win a career grand slam . McIlroy will join golfing greats Jack Nicklaus , Tiger Woods , Ben Hogan , Gary Player and Gene Sarazen , as the sixth player to win all four major titles , if he conquers Augusta on Sunday . But Faldo thinks there 's one aspect of his game that he has to overcome to do so . ' If you 're playing good , you 're playing good . But if anything goes wrong , it 's how you deal with the spiral of negativity ... ' the three-time champion said . ' That 's the only thing I think he 's McIlroy has to deal with . ' ' Then you 've got Bryson ... the Bison ... He 's a Bison in a china shop is n't he . On paper , Rory is playing better , so if he just play smart , put four great drives down the par-fives , that will be really important . Because he should shoot four-under for the par fives and then that will be a lock . If he just does that and plays smart elsewhere ... ' 13 Apr 2025 - 16:20 Five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods is currently recovering from undergoing surgery on a ruptured Achilles injury . The 49-year-old golfing great had been hopeful of returning to Augusta this year , having missed out on hosting the Genesis Invitational in February at Torrey Pines , following the passing of his mother . The 49-year-old revealed earlier in March that he had been practising at home but felt a sharp pain in his ankle and was forced to undergo surgery on the injury . He is expecting a full recovery - but there is no word yet on when he could potentially return to the PGA Tour . Interesting comments from Jordan Speith ahead of his final round at Augusta on the 10-year anniversary of his victory here at The Masters . Spieth , who is also in the hunt for a career grand slam this year , has toiled this week at Augusta National and begins his final round at one-under later this afternoon . Having won around this illustrious track previously , he believes a good night 's sleep and a fast start are what can help spur you on to win the Green Jacket . I was maybe - ignorance is bliss - I was young I was 21 I did n't sleep great on Friday or Saturday night relative to how I was sleeping then - those would be great nights to sleep now with kids . But , you know , I was up early and I tried to just have some fun , be lively and talk . You know you want to be quiet because you 're thinking about the day , but in general it 's just better to break out of that and be yourself . I just went through my routine , I came out here the practice area early , I was putting incredibly that week and continued that on Sunday . The start of the round was a huge deal , Rosey Justin Rose came out firing ... but I poured it on top after the first three holes to go on top to get that early start . Those first five holes are a big deal here and you do n't get a lot of credit , because you saw what Rory did yesterday , where he 's five-under through six , but you could easily be two over through those first five without hitting too many bad shots . There 's a big difference in those first-five holes , and as we look to those leader groups that will be a big deal . A fascinating insight from the legendary golf coach , Butch Harmon , now , with the 81-year-old revealing what Bryson could do today to unsettle Rory and take a psychological advantage in their battle later this afternoon . While these two will no doubt cross paths later this year at Bethpage , it looks like they 're set to play their own Ryder Cup of sorts around Augusta later this afternoon . In fact , McIlroy lost friendships over the LIV-PGA spat , with the Northern Irishman falling out with long-standing friend Sergio Garcia , while also being embroiled in a fiery spat with ex-LIV CEO Greg Norman . ' Bryson , is going to be like : " This is almost like a Ryder Cup " . ' There 's going to be a little bit of this out there today , ' the legendary golf coach said , while rubbing his fists together implying that things could be a little edgy between the pair . Harmon noted how Rory flew through his front nine holes on Saturday and how Bryson likes to take a little bit more time over his short game . ' The other thing is Rory is going to outdrive Bryson on every hole . Now Bryson is kind of a slow player anyway , I think you might see Bryson walk a little slower down the fairway just to make Rory wait a little . And when you 're the first guy to hit , you 've got the chance to get the ball up on the green and make the other guy look at it . ' So there 's a lot of underlying things going on that reminds me of a little bit of how a Ryder Cup plays out . ' 13 Apr 2025 - 15:40 I was very lucky to be invited to play Stoke Park earlier this year , to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the movie Goldfinger . Stoke Park was the filming location for Sean Connery 's now iconic golfing scene with Auric Goldfinger , where the pair hack their way around the grounds of the Berkshire-based manor , with 007 ultimately upstaging Goldfinger on the final hole . Stoke Park is an absolutely outstanding golf course and has re-opened it 's doors to players after a huge refurbishment . Interestingly , the course was designed by legendary course architect Harry Colt and his assistant , Alister MacKenzie - who famously designed , you guessed it , Augusta National . And interestingly , the par-three seventh at Stoke Park is cited as the inspiration for the par-three 16th hole , Redbud , at Augusta National . The 16th at Augusta has played as one of the trickier holes this week , with yesterday 's pin placement catching out a few players , including Shane Lowry , who did n't get quite enough power on his shot , but got lucky missing the water thanks to the greenside bunker . So far this week the 16th has played as the 8th hardest hole , accumulating 34 birdies , 147 pars and 52 bogeys . There have been eight doubles on the 170-yard par-three . Rory and Bryson gave an insight into what their Saturday evenings might look like as the overnight leaders prepared for Sunday at The Masters . Rory , who revealed earlier in the week that he had been reading John Grisham 's The Reckoning , told reporters that he has also been watching Brigerton , and revealed on Saturday that he 'd head back to his house , grab some grub and chill out by watching an episode of the period TV series . I 'll have some dinner . Maybe try to make it through the second episode of the third season of " Bridgerton . " Fell asleep during episode 1 last night . And that 's it . Yeah , sort of put the phone away . Do n't look at it . Try not to look at it until tomorrow night . Bryson , meanwhile , said he 'd be beading back to his rental to watch a James Bond film , preferably one starring Piers Brosnan . Yeah . I mean , for me , it 's going to be practising a little bit before it gets dark . Eating . Looking at my phone . I do n't have a problem with that . And just getting treatment on my body . Relaxing as much as possible . Watching a movie , probably , tonight . A fun movie . I do n't know , what 's tonight -- oh , it will probably be a James Bond movie or something like that . That will be fun . I love James Bond movies . Tomorrow morning , I 'll probably go to bed late and get up around 10:00 , 10:30 and see how the course is playing and go from there . Scottie Scheffler notably missed the first four PGA Tour events of 2025 after sustaining a hand injury at Christmas . It has set him back a bit after the world No 1 rampaged through 2024 , winning seven Tour events last year , including The Masters and the FedEx Cup . He knows how to win around this track but Scottie is just struggling with a bit of consistency . After an opening round of 68 , he carded five bogeys in his second round to finish one-under . It 's his putting that let him down in his third round , with Scheffler three-putting twice during his second round , slumping to T36 in the leaderboard for his putting stats . He missed a fairly routine putt on the seventh hole on Friday to make par , before back-to-back bogeys on 10 and 11 , with Scheffler three-putting on the former . Asked to characterise his round on Saturday , Scheffler said : Honestly , I do n't know . At times I felt good , at times I felt bad . I just could n't really get anything going . I think I ended up with even , which felt like I had to scramble a lot today , actually . I got off to a good start today , but after that I did n't really feel like I gave myself enough opportunities , and the opportunities that I did have , I did n't really quite take advantage of . Today and yesterday were days where I could have shot myself out of the tournament . I battled really hard both days . Today I made some great up-and-downs . I think I only had two bogeys for the day , which some of the spots I put myself in I felt like was a decent job of only making two bogeys . Going into tomorrow , have a good front nine and start moving my way up the leaderboard and you never know what can happen on the back nine . Just going out tomorrow , just try to get off to a good start , and maybe start like today , just hole a few more putts . Zach Johnson had a day to remember on Saturday . The 2023 US Ryder Cup captain was clinical in round three to rise to -4 on the leaderboard with a card of 66 . Check out some of his shots around the back nine here ... 13 Apr 2025 - 15:06 By Ed Carruthers Let 's just run it back to Shane Lowry 's fiery press conference yesterday . His comments came after Morikawa doubled down this week on comments he had made about his obligations to conduct post-round interviews . It began after he was criticised for choosing not to talk to the media after missing out on winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational to Russell Henley last month . Morikawa said at The Players Championship that he was ' just p***** off ' and that ' he did n't want to talk to anyone ' before stating ' I do n't owe anyone anything . ' After his first round at Sawgrass , Morikawa stopped reporters at the end of his press conference , stating : ' I just want to add one more thing . ' I might bite my tongue after saying this , but to the Brandel Chamblees , to the Paul McGinleys , to the Rocco Mediates of the world , I do n't regret anything I said . ' It might have been a little bit harsh that I do n't owe anyone , but I do n't owe anyone . ' I respect the fans . I 'm very thankful for them . I 'm grateful . It makes me emotional , but it hurts to hear people say this criticise , and especially you guys media , because I finished the round and I went to go sign for 10 minutes , 15 minutes for all the people after . ' Not a single person from media went to go follow me because , I do n't know . But that 's me . So for people to be calling me out is - it 's interesting . It does n't show anything . ' I get what you guys are saying . But I was there . I was signing for every single person right after the round , whether they wanted it or not . I finished second . They could n't care less . But yeah , I 'm going to leave it at that , all right ? ' But Morikawa has once again made his feelings clear on the subject at Augusta this week . After such a painful loss at Bay Hill , he even admitted that he struggled to want to be around anyone , including his partner . ' We talk about giving people space to be who they are , and at that time , it was for me to be who I was , and I did n't want to be around anyone . I did n't even want to be around my wife . I said hi to her after , we hugged , and I just went straight to the locker room . ' He then hit out at the media directly , claiming that media ca n't just come up and expect him to answer questions when he 's playing well , implying there was a lack of consistency . ' I think there needs to be a balance and an ebb and flow between everything . I do want to be here for you guys , but here 's the thing : I 've been in the top 5 in the world before , and people do n't come up to me and ask me questions . If you guys - you ca n't just ask me when I 'm playing well . " You guys should be asking the top 10 players every single week , every single day , and just document it . ' Then you get a sense of who we are and you get a flow of how that comes to be . ' Check out the full interview here ... 13 Apr 2025 - 15:03 By Ed Carruthers Right let 's check in on the course and a couple of players are making movements down at the bottom of the leaderboard . Things are not going so well for leftie Akshay Bhatia , who has picked up two shots on the first and the third holes this morning with a pair of bogeys . Bhatia , who is one of the most creative wedge players on the PGA Tour right now found the sand twice on the first to get his round off to a dismal start . Justin Thomas is also having a difficult start , having gained a shot on the par-four third hole with a poor wedge shot out of the sand setting him back . Meanwhile , former champion Hideki Matsuyama has come out to score a birdie on the third to get down to -3 while former US Open champion Wyndham Clark has gone birdie-birdie for his first two holes . Clark endured a difficult round on Saturday hitting six bogeys , including a five on the par-four 18th . He 's come out to compete this morning and is now back to +1 . 13 Apr 2025 - 14:33 By Ed Carruthers Back in 2012 , Rory McIlroy gave a candid , insightful and honest interview to Sky Sports where he walked us through the heartache and pain of his implosion at the 2011 Masters . McIlroy had a share of the lead for the first three rounds and was primed to advance to win the tournament on Sunday . But a dismal round that saw him shoot 80 , saw him fall down the leaderboard , with Charl Schwartzel seizing the opportunity to win the Green Jacket . The Northern Irishman has had some tough times around Augusta National in the past , and it has appeared that the weight of trying to win the career grand slam and Green Jacket has stopped him from playing his best golf . McIlroy came agonisingly close to winning here in 2022 , finishing T2 behind Scottie Scheffler , in what was his best finish at Augusta . Someone who also came agonisingly close to winning on this hallowed golf course was Greg Norman , who was upstaged by Nick Faldo in agonising circumstances , back in 1996 . According to McIlroy , the ' Shark ' gave him some very telling advice following his round at Augusta in 2011 . ' Greg was very good , ' McIlroy told Sky Sports in an interview back in 2012 . ' He can probably relate to me more than anyone else . He said to me that I was 20 when it happened to me , he was 40 . He made me realise that it was n't going to be my last chance . He told me to be very self centred , create this bubble around you and do n't let anyone affect or interfere with what you need to do . ' Six-time winner , Jack Nicklaus , who sat down to talk with McIlroy about his Masters strategy last week over lunch , told the Northern Irishman he wanted to kick him up the ' rear-end ' . ' Jack Nicklaus was very honest with me and said he wanted to give me a kick in the rear-end . He always said that the most pressure that he felt was the pressure that he put on himself and you have to relish that and make that a challenge for yourself . I had three-and-a-half unbelievable days and nine holes that I 'd like to forget . Things did n't work out the way that I wanted them to but it 's still my favourite tournament in the world . ' 13 Apr 2025 - 14:20 By Ed Carruthers Lowry vented his frustrations at reporters during an interview with Sky Sports on Saturday after he was pressed on whether he feels his great mate Rory McIlroy can win the Masters . Expletives aside , the Irishman was absolutely spot-on with what he said . At five-under he is still well in contention to launch an attack on the leaderboard today , despite agonisingly having bogeyed his final two holes on Saturday to finish the day at evens . But after his round , he was asked about McIlroy , snapping back at the Sky reporter : ' I 'm not going to stand here and talk about Rory for 10 minutes . I 'm trying to win the tournament , as well . ' I know that 's what y'all want me to talk about , but I 've just had a s--- finish , I 've got a chance to win the Masters tomorrow , and I 'm going to go hit some balls . ' The conversation then moved on to media duties , something that has been a topical subject of late among many golfers , particularly Collin Morikawa , who lashed back at reporters over having to do media duties . In fact , according to McIlroy , golfers do n't always have an obligation to speak to the media after their final round . Lowry continued : ' We talk about Collin Morikawa a few weeks ago . I think we need time . I think I need half an hour now to sit there and gather my thoughts . ' I ca n't be coming to talk to you guys straight away . It should n't be happening . I do n't agree with it . ' Tennis players have to talk to the media , but they have half an hour or hour before they have to do it . I feel like we should have the same thing . ' That 's how I feel . I 'm probably going to say something stupid . I probably already have said something stupid because I 'm pissed off right now . I 'm just going to leave , OK ? ' I 've been looking back through some of my favourite shots from Saturday and have compiled a quick list of some of the best strikes of the day . I 've been marvelling at Rory 's chip-in on the second or his six-iron approach on the 15th . Both are simply sensational efforts but his magic touch around the green on the second was simply sensational . Here 's McIlroy 's six-iron on the 15th . The stopping power the world No 2 has with his long wedges is simply sensational . This was another lovely shot for Tyrrell Hatton for a birdie on 15 . We saw Patrick Cantlay put two in the drink from near to this angle on Thursday afternoon , so this was weighted perfectly . Im Sung-jai chipped in twice on Saturday , but considering how deep this bunker was , this is my favourite of the two . Brilliant wedge play from the sand . Bryson 's final birdie of the day on the 18th capped off a run of three birdies in his final four holes . This texas wedge from over 50-feet out was perfectly weighted . And lastly how about this for a chip in from LIV star Joaquin Niemann ? Interestingly , it came after he had just chunked a chip shot up the hill . He responded immediately , bouncing the ball into the hole to seal victory . US star Brian Campbell has got us underway after teeing off on the first , but gets himself into a spot of bother , sending his first shot right of the fairway , before finding the green on the left side of the green . You might be wondering why Campbell is playing on his own - but in fact he is not , he 'll be playing with a non-competing marker . On Saturday , a man called Michael McDermott made a stir at Augusta National after he teed up alongside Tom Kim , who teed off on his own . It comes as an odd number of players had made the cut this year , meaning that Kim needed a marker to play alongside . Up steps McDermott , the CEO of a financial services firm in Pennsylvania . It is one of the quirky and less well-known storylines of Augusta , with McDermott being a member of the club . Michael McDermott ( pictured above ) McDermott and Tom Kim ( pictured left and right above ) But he 's not just a part-time hacker . In fact , he is , right now , one of the best members playing at Augusta National and has 10 major victories in the Golf Association of Philadelphia , winning the amateur title in 2008 , 2013 and 2016 . McDermot does n't have to record a score and did n't have his name on his caddies back . He 's also not able to talk to the media during his round . ' He played great actually , ' Kim said . Hits the ball really far . His irons , sometimes he grabbed one club longer than me . He was a complete baller . ' We 're not quite sure if McDermott has returned to play with Campbell today but he certainly will be playing alongside a marker today ! 13 Apr 2025 - 13:49 He got the ball rolling with Cheeseburger sliders and firecracker shrimp . The world No 1 then made a funny nod to the hand injury he sustained at Christmas that ruled him out of the early parts of this year 's PGA Tour season . He had been looking to make ravioli for his family but cut his hand open while trying to make the pasta dish . In a nod to the moment , he added Papa Scheff 's meatball and Ravioli bites to his menu . For the mains , in true Texas style , he had Chilli , Wood-fired Cowboy Ribeye or blackened Redfish . And for Dinner , Scheffler played it simple with a Warm Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie . I 'd definitely say that is up there with one of the best menus we 've seen from a Masters Champion . 13 Apr 2025 - 13:40 By Ed Carruthers Rory McIlroy left me stunned yesterday with his 369-yard drive on the par-five second hole . It was a brilliant shot and his driving just seems to get better and better each year . Bryson DeChambeau , though , is a machine and the mad scientist has perfected his ball-striking abilities to help him hit the ball longer than anyone else in golf . He spoke earlier in the week of how he has been tinkering with his club heads away from the course to help him get the optimal balance and clubhead speed , to stripe the ball speeds upwards of 190mph . Both players are two of the biggest hitters in the game , but right now , it is Bryson who is , on average , striking the ball just a little bit further than McIlroy averaging 330 yards to the Northern Irishman 's 324 yards . Despite that , it was McIlroy who performed better with the big stick on Saturday , with the European Ryder Cup hero averaging 340 yards off the tee , hitting 10 of 14 fairways with his drive . Bryson , meanwhile , managed an average of 237 yards but was more clinical , hitting 11 out of 14 fairways . 13 Apr 2025 - 13:26 By Ed Carruthers During a range session ahead of their match last year , where Bryson teamed up with fellow LIV star Brooks Koepka and Rory paired up with Scottie Scheffler for a 2v2 match , Bryson joked with Rory about missing out on winning at Pinehurst . ' I 'm trying to get him back for what he did to me at the US Open , ' McIlroy said , sending a barb to Bryson who was chipping next to him . The American responded hilariously : ' To be fair you kind of did it to yourself ... ' It appears , though , that there is no animosity between the two competitors following Bryson 's victory , with the two-time US Open champion revealing what McIlroy said to him after Pinehurst . ' No , not really , ' he said when asked whether they had spoken much after the US Open . ' He said congrats at the British Open -- at The Open Championship , excuse me . And that 's pretty much it . We 've been fine ever since . It 's not really been an issue . It 's just going to be a fun day tomorrow . I 'm really excited for the test . ' 13 Apr 2025 - 13:11 By Ed Carruthers I really liked how the course was set up on Saturday . The 16th hole 's pin was set up in a particularly difficult spot , with Shane Lowry and Matt McCarty struggling with their tee shots there yesterday . And it looks like we could be in for a lot more fun again , with today 's pin placements , especially around Amen Corner , set to cause a few headaches for our golfers . First up , hole No 2 is in an interesting position . The fairway doglegs around from right-to-left and , depending on the shape of the shot you can hit off the tee , players may find it difficult getting the ball up and over the right greenside bunker , with the pin sitting so close to it on the right side of the green . The fourth hole is another interesting placement , again with a deep and wide greenside bunker fully in play in front of the pin at the front-right of the green . Interestingly the fourth hole was the joint-second hardest hole on the course on Saturday , with 17 players scoring bogeys . Only three players made birdie . Some players could find themselves in a spot of difficulty on the ninth too , with the hole curving from right-to-left , requiring players to pull a draw in from around the trees to land the ball onto the left side of the fairway and avoid the bunkers on the left . Around Amen Corner , water is fully in play on all three holes , with greenskeepers setting the pins up close to the hazards just on either side of the greens . The 13th looks particularly challenging , with the green sloping away to the water hazard on the right . And back to hole No 16 , the tee has been moved right to the back of the green and sits just in front of the huge sand trap to the back right of the hole . That presents a lot of trouble for any player getting stuck in the sand . The notorious green on 16 slopes down towards the water hazard and players in the bunker will want to be very careful when playing out of the sand not to overcook their shot . 13 Apr 2025 - 13:03 By Ed Carruthers It 's been a simply sensational week of golf so far and Saturday delivered perhaps one of the best days at a major in a long time . Rory McIlroy stormed to take the clubhouse lead and starts ahead of Bryson DeChambeau by two shots on Sunday . It was a sensational performance from the world No 2 , who became the first man in the history at Augusta National to card six consecutive threes during his opening six holes . His chip in on the second for eagle will go down as the shot of the day , but let 's not forget his approach on 15 . Some online have said it bore an uncanny likeness to Tiger in 2011 . Bryson was equally impressive yesterday coming in two shots behind McIlroy , but it was his short irons that perhaps let him down a little and a couple of missed putts stopped him from coming in with a better score . Despite that , he 'll come into the day riding high on a stunning finish , birdieing three of the final four holes of his third round , which included a phenomenal texas wedge from off the green , which he rolled 50-feet into the hole . There were plenty of other incredible storylines from Saturday . Justin Rose , the leader after 36 holes , just could n't hold on to the top spot as his round unravelled due to some errant putting . He is , though , still in contention , alongside Scottie Scheffler , Shane Lowry and interestingly Jason Day all at five-under ahead of the fourth round . Ludvig Aberg , who finished T2 on his Masters Debut here last year , has rallied after toiling with his game all week to finish tied at six-under with former Masters Champion Patrick Reed - who snuck up the leaderboard with a classy 69 on Saturday . And then there 's Canadian Corey Conners , who sits in third place at eight-under . While Bryson and Rory have been getting all the headlines , Connors has been quietly going about his business and has showcased his excellent ball-striking abilities . Check this out for an approach ... 13 Apr 2025 - 12:58 By Ed Carruthers Looks like conditions are going to be perfect for scoring today at The Masters . Yesterday there were a few big scores , with Rory McIlroy and Zach Johnson both excelling out there . Forecasts coming out of Augusta right now are expecting not a whole lot of wind around the course today , compared to Saturday 's blustery conditions , with maximum gusts of 8mph expected later on in the afternoon . The sun is also shining on this illustrious golf course with temperatures set to rise to 21 ? c . Balmy weather for a game of golf , do n't you think ? That means that the greens are likely to be running a little firmer later on in the day which our late starters , Bryson DeChambeau , Rory McIlroy , Patrick Reed and Corey Conners may have to watch out for . 13 Apr 2025 - 12:52 We will automatically post your comment and a link to the news story to your Facebook timeline at the same time it is posted on MailOnline .

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

It 's always good to hear welcome news , even when it arrives 97 years late . So it was Thursday when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ' Board of Governors announced that beginning in 2027 they will annually award an Oscar for Achievement in Stunt Design . Or : there will finally be an Oscar for Best Stunts beginning at the 100th annual Academy Awards . This is genuinely happy tidings considering stunts and derring-do have been the hallmarks of why folks have gone to the cinema since the glory days of the silent era when Harold Lloyd hung precariously from a clocktower in Safety Last ! ( 1923 ) or Douglas Fairbanks shimmied up literal draw bridge chains in Hollywood 's first Robin Hood movie circa 1922 . Nonetheless , the Academy has strangely ignored the daredevils that make their biggest tentpoles to this day box office draws . It 's wonderful to see that changing , but we would like to honor a baker 's dozen or so achievements that have stood the test of time and deserved Oscars in their day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Machine of Modern Times ( 1936 ) When Charlie Chaplin decided to retire his Little Tramp persona with one glorious swan song in Modern Times , his kind of physical comedy and breathtaking stunt work were already things of the past . In the 1930s , sound brought talkies and an emphasis on comedy of the screwball and musical variety . Yet for all intents and purposes , Modern Times is a silent movie , and one of Chaplin 's best as he got to do everything that made him a star 20 years earlier -- now with an overt political bent . Take one of the most visually impressive gags ever conceived as a critique of capitalism and industrialization . Midway through Modern Times , Chaplin 's Little Tramp ends up swallowed by the literal machine of a factory that grinds him through its gears where he is expected to perform menial repairs . It is far from the most death-defying trick on this list , but it is an example of physical stunt work reaching a comedic and artistic grace that makes cinema richer . The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ later packs allegorical punch . Ad Ad -- content continues below So much of our idealized image of the Old West , both as a historical setting and as a movie genre , is derived from the iconography of John Ford . Mythic compositions of men on horses , and perhaps thornier depictions of Native Americans in pursuit , define many of Ford 's best films . And 1939 's Stagecoach is high among them . This was the first film in which Ford worked with his onscreen muse John Wayne in Monument Valley , and it set the tropes that many Westerns still follow . What is Firefly if not Joss Whedon 's Stagecoach in space ? Stagecoach also has perhaps the definitive " cowboys and Indians " chase sequence where Apache raiders descend on the titular stagecoach as it makes a frantic dash across Indigenous territory . The chase features two iconic stunts executed by the movie 's stunt coordinator Yakima Canutt . The first of which sees Canutt play an Apache warrior @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of steeds -- only to fall beneath the animals and the wheels of the coach . It 's such a spectacular image that Steven Spielberg remade it 40 years later in Raiders of the Lost Ark , minus the horses . Yet the even more impressive stunt is when Canutt , now made up to resemble Wayne , leaps between each pair of horses pulling the stagecoach in order to take the reins of the out-of-control leader and guide man and beast to safety . It 's still breathtaking almost a century later . Ben-Hur became the first film to ever win 11 Academy Awards . To this day , no film has bested that number ( though several have tied it ) . Well , it would have been 12 if there was an Oscar for stunt work . Even 65 years later , there are few sequences as astonishing as the Roman chariot race that proves to be the centerpiece of this monumental Biblical epic.Running at 11 minutes in length , the race was not actually directed by Ben-Hur @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Marton and Yakima Canutt ( yes , him again ) . Filmed with luscious 65mm cameras and 72 horses beneath a vibrant Italian sun , the sequence is gorgeous eye candy to just stare at . But the stunt work is itself so marvelous that to this day urban legends persist that either a stuntman or horse died while making it . There is no historical evidence of either occurring , however there was a close call that you can watch in the film : the shot of Judah Ben-Hur getting flipped over his own chariot after it strikes a barrier along a wall of the arena ? That was n't scripted , and the stuntman who performed it nearly died : Joe Canutt , Yakima 's son . He did n't though , and it changed the scripting of the scene with the filmmakers adding a beat of Charlton Heston being forced to pull himself back in . Really if there had been Oscars for stunts in the last 100 years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to a dozen by now . There are so many to choose from : Bill Suitor operating a real-life jetpack in Thunderball ( 1965 ) ; Wayne Michaels performing the highest bungee jump ever captured on film in Goldeneye ( 1995 ) ; everything Sebastien Foucan did in the Madagascar parkour sequence of Casino Royale ( 2006 ) . Yet if we are only going to pick one for this list , it has to be when Rick Sylvester skied right off a glacier atop a Canadian mountain for a sum of $30,000 . It 's still the defining 007 stunt which opens one of the series ' best movies where Bond , in a ridiculous yellow " undercover " ski uniform , escapes Soviet assassins by launching himself into an abyss where he does nothing but fall for a breathless 20 seconds . He then pulls the chord on an absurd and terrific Union Jack parachute . Way to keep a low-profile , James . It 's all captured in one unbelievable long shot that cuts just before one of Sylvester 's skis nearly punctures his parachute , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ad -- content continues below This was one of the trickier ones to include . There are so many great stunts in the Indiana Jones pictures , so how do you pick just one ? For pure adrenaline spectacle , we suspect Vic Armstrong in a fedora and torn shirt dangling from a rope bridge in Temple of Doom ( 1984 ) might be the winner . And Spielberg 's homage to Stagecoach where Terry Leonard again is dragged beneath and behind the wheels of a jeep in Raiders is probably the most complex set piece performed in the first Indy flick . Get the best of Den of Geek delivered right to your inbox ! Still , great stunts are n't only about real-life danger . It can also be about aesthetics , originality , and indelible iconography . Hence why the first thing that pops in your mind when you read the words " Indiana Jones " is still probably the sight of the ragged archaeologist outrunning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trick done without a stuntman . That is clearly Harrison Ford outrunning the boulder ! Of course it 's not really a boulder , but a still gruesome 300-pound prop made of fiberglass . It is also on a track , hence why Ford was able to do the stunt . Nonetheless , it remains one of the all time great movie moments that gets the hair to stand on end as a visible movie star appears to be within inches of becoming a pancake as he stumbles his way into an enormous spider 's web . A performer who should have a whole collection of stunt Oscars , Jackie Chan made a career out of pushing his body to the limits one insane stunt ( and many more broken bones ) at a time . We could pick a trick he did , or sequence he choreographed , in almost any of his Hong Kong films . But his character 's bizarre choice to chase bad guys at a shopping mall in the first Police Story @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his prey is escaping down at the lower levels of massive mall , so instead of following in close pursuit down a crowded escalator , Jackie decides the most efficient way to catch them is to lunge at a not-so-near pole and slide about four stories down -- for real and with no wires -- while shattering every string of Christmas lights in his path before crashing through a real partition of glass and wood at the bottom . Reminiscing years later about the stunt , Chan said , " I made my jump , grabbed the pole , and watched the twinkling lights crack and pop all the way down , in an explosion of shattering glass and electrical sparks . Then I hit the glass . And then I hit the floor . Somehow I managed to survive with a collection of ugly bruises ... and second-degree burns on the skin of my fingers and palms . " I was conflicted about including this one since we are trying to keep this list to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Michelle Yeoh 's own jaw-dropping moment in Police Story 3 , it seems safe to include the moment where she literally jumped a dirt bike onto a moving train . The moment comes at the end of the movie when Yeoh 's young Interpol agent is attempting to catch up and help Jackie save the day . Not only did Yeoh successfully land the bike onto the train but she rode it the near length of the train cars ' rooftops before jumping off after her character loses control . However , even that last bit is somewhat for real since Yeoh , who had never before ridden a dirt bike before making this movie , was unable to cleanly escape the vehicle . So that 's really her kicking it away and off the train while its wheels are still spinning ! Ad Ad -- content continues below Another case of the stunt work achieving a gracefulness and artistry that supersedes just pure adrenaline , this duel among the trees between Chow Yun-fat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one of the most surreal and achingly beautiful " fight scenes " in cinema . Admittedly , calling it a fight scene is almost a misnomer . This is really a chance for two protagonists in direct conflict to properly introduce themselves to each other . As such , there is a serene peacefulness to the ostensible violence occurring between two martial arts masters gliding between treetops . The sequence came to director Ang Lee in a dream and was realized by stunt choreographer Yuen Woo-ping , whose stunt team is probably best known in the West for popularizing wire-fu in movies like The Matrix . Yet the wirework in Crouching Tiger is better , and it really is Zhang and Chow up in that wilderness , dancing in the green . A case can be made that the sequence where Joseph Gordon-Levitt and several members of stunt coordinator Tom Struthers ' team fought in a rotating hotel was just doing a more elaborate version of that time Fred Astaire wowed ' em by dancing on the walls and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1951 ) . Which is true , but it 's no less impressive given how dizzyingly complex director Christopher Nolan made his action version of the showstopper . Choreographed on a rotating set in an air hangar outside London , this sequence was the culmination of months of training by Gordon-Levitt and Nolan 's teams to create the sense that gravity was a fluid , sputtering resource in a dream world where the only limits was your knowledge of kung fu . It 's hypnotic . Once again , we come to a stunt legend where it is difficult to choose which sequence to include . Tom Cruise has had a late career renaissance as a modern day Douglas Fairbanks . His appearance in a movie over the last 15 or so years is a near-guarantee you 'll see some death-defying hijinks . So should it be the time he hung from a real plane as it took off in Mission : Impossible -- Rogue Nation ? Or how about when he performed hundreds of HALO jumps from 25,000 feet in 2018 's Mission : Impossible -- Fallout @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ marketed around him trying to one-up Rick Sylvester 's TSWLM stunt by riding a motorcycle off a mountain with a parachute as his only salvation . We ultimately decided to go with the stunt which really signaled this transition in Cruise 's career . It was in December 2011 's Mission : Impossible -- Ghost Protocol that Cruise revitalized his career by playing a real-life Spider-Man along the sun-kissed glass of Dubai 's Burj Khalifa , the tallest building in the world . It 's more or less the same trick Harold Lloyd did 90 years earlier , only higher and in Cruise 's case , he has safety harnesses holding him in place . Yet they do n't even digitally remove that element . They astutely make it part of the story , with the idea being both the harness and his character 's glue gloves only have a fixed amount of time to keep him safe . Afterward he 's street pizza . It 's a marriage of movie star charisma , superb visual storytelling , and old-fashioned derring-do captured in massive IMAX cinematography . Ad @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Plane in Midair in The Dark Knight Rises ( 2012 ) Another Christopher Nolan sequence , this one is also the favorite of the director 's stunt sequences in his Batman trilogy . A bit of a riff on a similar scene in the James Bond movie Licence to Kill , Nolan improves on his influence by recording in eye-popping IMAX photography how a team of aerial stuntmen , coordinated by Tom Struthers again , literally jump from one massive plane to smaller charter flight , and commandeer it with little more than wires , explosives , and guts . The wings coming off is a digital effect . Almost everything else is not . We were tempted to just include all of George Miller 's Mad Max : Fury Road as a single entry . This mad fantasia of gas-guzzling grandeur is one set piece marvel after another , strung together in a feature-length chase sequence that ascends to a level of cinematic Valhalla where all is shiny and chrome . But if we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ point to and go , " Witnessed ! " it would probably be the pole cat spectacle . With Miller 's gang of Australian lunatics ... er , stuntmen trained by the acrobats of Cirque du Soleil , these blokes really swayed in the breeze ( purely because it looked cooler ) on poles above cars going anywhere between 30 and 60 MPH in the Namibian desert . They then swung on said poles over movie stars , including Zo ? Kravitz who is really whisked by a pole-catter from one speeding vehicle to another , with nothing but hard desert earth beneath their feet . God Bless George Miller . No , really , that must 've been the case because the fact no one died makes this something of a miracle . Much like the James Bond and Mission : Impossible franchises , the John Wick flicks are an embarrassment of riches for stunt work and spectacle . Begun by former **25;368;TOOLONG Chad Staheleski and David Leitch , and with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by Staheleski , the John Wick movies are a chance for those who know the intricacies of stunts to translate that into pure cinema . Which might make it a bit of a shame the series is not ending after what was clearly intended to be the grand finale in John Wick : Chapter 4 . Everything about this entry acted like it was embracing the kitchen sink mentality , including an epic climax of stunt work that begins with one of the most impressive oner action sequences ever conceived -- this one taking an overhead , godseye view to the carnage as Keanu Reeves shoots his way through enemy territory -- and culminates in an even more impressive , seeming series of oners where Reeves and Donnie Yen fight their way repeatedly up a long , outdoor Parisian staircase in Montmartre filled with assassins who want old Johnny boy dead . It 's a visual crucible of Mr. Wick 's trials and travails distilled into a masterpiece of carnage . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It uses 'get a joy out of playing', which is a different construction where 'playing' is part of a gerund phrase modifying 'joy', not a VP2[-ing] predicate with a causee object. Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'taking' is the V1, 'the hassle' is the NP object, and 'having to grab a bite on the go' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also induces a prevention interpretation, as the action of taking the hassle prevents the need to grab a bite on the go. The NP object 'the hassle' is not a causee, but the construction still fits the transitive out of -ing pattern with a prevention interpretation.

In an era where football has become dominated by tactics and structure , Lyon star Rayan Cherki stands out for going against the grain as one of the game 's last mavericks . The Frenchman is a walking highlight reel of flicks , tricks and an incredible amount of skill , and having enjoyed one of his best seasons to date , is understandably on the radar of many a club , including those in the Premier League . As the 2024/2025 campaign draws ever closer to an end , all eyes will swiftly be turning towards the summer transfer window , and Cherki will be a name that will figure among most conversations over being available for a summer move . But what are the latest transfer rumours around him , his style of play and what people who have watched him up close have said about him ? Find out below . As if that was n't enough , Cherki is also reportedly attracting admiring glances from Aston Villa too as Unai Emery @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ built over at Villa Park . What is clear though , is that Lyon 's play-maker will have his pick of the clubs when it comes to potentially leaving his boyhood club . While Cherki has been around for a while in Lyon 's first-team since making his breakthrough , the 21-year-old has by far enjoyed his best season of his career already thus far . As of the beginning of April 2025 , the Frenchman has already registered 18 assists in just 35 games , including eight of those coming in the Europa League alone . Cherki has been absolutely crucial to Lyon 's run to the quarter-finals , where perhaps coincidentally will take on one of the teams who have been rumoured to be interested in him , Manchester United . The versatile star has also shown his propensity to rise to the occasion , registering a goal and an assist against PSG , as well as making telling contributions against Eintracht Frankfurt and Rangers . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Games 23 Goals 6 Assists 9 Goal-creating actions 16 Minutes played 1,494 Indeed , his performance against England 's U21s in the March international break this year made for incredible viewing , with the Frenchman toying with the Three Lions all night in a superb display that would have left on-looking scouts deeply impressed . He scored once and set up another two , and was generally a level above everyone else on the pitch . One of the most two-footed players in the world right now , Cherki 's balance , agility and vision all mark him out as one of the best creators in European football . Capable of playing out wide on the right - where he has been most predominantly used this season - or in the number ten role , Cherki really thrives when given the licence to drift inside and link up with his number nine and central midfielders . Eurosport France 's Martin Mosnier waxed lyrical about his potential and delivered a breakdown of what he brings to the table @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him . He 's really an attacking midfielder although he can also play as a winger . Cherki is an exceptional dribbler , one of the first things one notices when watching him is that he appears to be ambipedal , as he can seemingly utilise both feet equally well . His strengths are as follows : key passes , dribbling and his ability to create something out of nothing . If you wanted a measure of the kind of talent that Cherki has , then you only have to look at what those who have seen him up close have said about him . President of Lyon , Jean-Michel Aulas , - who has never been shy to voice his opinion - went so far as to say that Cherki is " comparable to Lionel Messi in terms of technical quality " . Following a superb performance for Lyon against Nantes aged just 16 - he scored twice and assisted another two - now Real Madrid superstar Kylian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ speak too much about age " .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'eke a bit more fun out of scoring his second try' involves the verb 'eke' with 'a bit more fun' as the object and 'scoring his second try' as the complement of 'out of', but it does not involve a causee or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Think Pollock and you think of a player who is box office to watch ( Photo : Getty ) cancel **31;1241;TOOLONG Share bookmark Save share cancel **34;1274;TOOLONG FRANKLIN 'S GARDENS -- It was easy to miss it amid the joyous scenes around Franklin 's Gardens on Saturday night as Northampton Saints sailed through to the Champions Cup semi-finals , but the gesture from referee Andrea Piardi was a telling one . Henry Pollock was in the in-goal area of Saints ' quarter-final opponents , Castres , lapping up the cheers of the Lake End stand behind him and delaying putting the ball down to eke a bit more fun out of scoring his second try of the second half , on the way to a 51-16 win . But Piardi , the experienced Italian Test official , had a point to make to Pollock about sportsmanship and he motioned downwards with his right hand , wordlessly saying : " Never mind that , No 7 , just get the ball down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in as Pollock made the grounding a split-second before the big Castres lock could get to him . A few minutes earlier , Pollock 's dabbling in a ruck , marginally on the wrong side , set off a melee that ended with three players -- but not the Northampton flanker himself -- sent to the sin bin . Pollock has made a clear case to be considered for Lions selection ( Photo : Getty ) In the first half , Pollock was warned by Piardi for " cynical play " and narrowly avoided a yellow card for a try-line misdemeanour when Castres scored . And for the fourth time in five weeks , the 20-year-old in the black headband has been the headline-grabber in a major match -- from two tries on his England debut in Wales , through a worldie try at Sale Sharks , to two Champions Cup wins in the last two weekends . In this latest outing , Australia flanker Josh Kemeny , England scrum-half Alex Mitchell and the returning full-back George Furbank were all very influential as Northampton followed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over French opposition . But Pollock is the box-office draw , the bobbing apple at the top of the barrel , the irresistible lure to the TV cameras and , yes , the rugby reporters . He 's English , he 's entertaining , he 's quick and he 's lairy and a little loose-lipped -- and you can not wait to see what he does next . Last week after beating Clermont , it was Tommy Freeman saying " classic Pollock " as Freeman had a try nicked from under his nose . This week it was Mitchell laughing " never to Pollock again ! " , after the No 9 's superb line-break and teasing drift across the Castres defensive line set up Pollock 's tries , after which the limelight bathed the scorer more than the creator . The TV commentators noted how Pollock keeps his eye on the big screen to see himself , and ex-fly-half Andy Goode grumbled about him staying down for a minute , winded by a back 's tackle . Pollock himself thought @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like that -- oh my ! " Leinster were given a tiny taste of the HP sauce at last year 's semi-final , played in Croke Park , when Pollock was on a " non-23 piss-up " , as he described it . He and some Saints academy mates flew out early on the day , whooped and hollered above the players ' tunnel during the match , stayed out all night , and flew back early on the Sunday morning . The Northampton team then did not include the 19-year-old Pollock as they ran Leinster close , 20-17 . A year on , Leinster have just beaten Harlequins 62-0 and Glasgow 52-0 , and with the All Black centre Jordie Barrett leading the Glasgow rout , they look even stronger now , with the semi-final to be played at the Aviva Stadium this time , on 3 May . Northampton head coach Phil Dowson conceded Pollock may have been targeted for treatment by Castres because of the celebrating -- for his first try , the young flanker was gesturing to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ asked if the same behaviour would be wise in Dublin . " It does n't bother me particularly , as long as he knows what 's coming , " Dowson said . " I mean , it 's great when he is on your side . But you kind of want that as well . You want that atmosphere , you want that character , you want people to be themselves . He is that person to do it . " The same was said about Paul Gascoigne and Wayne Rooney -- that to temper one part of their personality might risk ruining their all-round game . It was also said that if Gascoigne had signed for Manchester United and come under Sir Alex Ferguson 's influence , his career may have blossomed with fewer downward lurches. |

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

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'pull out of' as a phrasal verb followed by a gerund 'filming', but there is no NP object between the verb and 'out of'.

Prisoners being housed in separation centres have been banned from using kitchens after Manchester Arena bomber Hashem Abedi allegedly attacked three prison officers with hot cooking oil . Abedi threw hot cooking oil over three officers on Saturday before stabbing them with " home-made weapons " , the Prison Officers ' Association ( POA ) said . The officers sustained life-threatening injuries including burns , scalds and stab wounds in the incident in HMP Frankland , Country Durham . Two of the officers remain in hospital in a stable condition . Abedi allegedly collected sachets of butter and melted the contents , before throwing the hot oil over a female prison officer .

Abedi has previously been found guilty , along with other convicts , of a vicious attack on a prison officer at Belmarsh jail in South East London in 2020 . Category A is the highest level of security and Frankland has housed other notorious inmates , including Fusilier Lee Rigby 's terrorist killer Michael Adebolajo , Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe , and Charles Bronson .

" We 're now worried about the knock-on effect of this and copycat incidents . It 's very difficult to get someone into the separation centre because of the process you have to go through , so the intelligence really needs to be on the ball to get someone contained in the separation centre .

Comedian Tim McGarry is partnering up with historian and Irish News columnist Cormac Moore to delve into the endlessly fascinating - and often divisive - world of Irish history in their new podcast , The Irish History Boys . No stranger to the topic , the north Belfast comedian has previously presented eight series of historical programme The Long and The Short of It alongside Dr David Hume in which the pair investigated key moments and figures from Irish history by consulting a variety of experts , including Cormac .

The brother of the Manchester Arena bomber should be kept in total isolation for the protection of prison officers even if it " turns him mad " , a leading expert has said . Ian Acheson , a former prison governor who carried out a review of Islamist extremism in jails in 2016 , described Hashem Abedi , 28 , as the second most dangerous prisoner in the UK after the serial killer Robert Maudsley . The inmate , who is serving a 55-year sentence for assisting his brother 's suicide attack on Manchester Arena which killed 22 people , left three prison officers in hospital after an unprovoked attack over the weekend . It came as the families of five Manchester Arena victims wrote to Shabana Mahmood , the justice secretary , to express their " absolute disbelief " that Abedi was able to carry out the assault at HMP Frankland .

However , they are given more entitlements than those in close supervision centres , such as access to a kitchen . The Islamist , who had previously attacked another officer at a different prison , threw hot cooking oil over the officers before stabbing them with " homemade weapons " during Saturday 's assault . Sir Keir Starmer , the prime minister , said he was " appalled " by the attack and the Prison Service announced a ban on dangerous inmates using kitchens .

" As the families of Megan Hurley , Eilidh MacLeod , Chloe Rutherford , Liam Curry and Kelly Brewster , our beautiful , beloved children who were so tragically murdered along with 16 others in the Manchester Arena terror attack in May 2017 , we find this situation beyond comprehension .

Neither a bang , nor a whimper , but a stern acclamation -- " Lenin ! " -- finished Gianandrea Noseda 's cycle of Shostakovich 's symphonies with the London Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican , recordings of which will eventually appear on LSO Live . This was the Symphony No 2 , To October , written in Russia 100 years ago when , after the upending of the old regime , all rules could be broken -- well , as long as you also paid fealty to the heroic communist saviours . Shostakovich fulfilled the brief -- writing a noisy but starchy ode to the Bolshevik icon ( " Oh Lenin ! You forged freedom out of suffering ! " ) -- though the interesting material in the 20-minute symphony is the practically Dadaist cacophony that comes before the choral poetry ( here declaimed by the London Symphony Chorus with as much gusto as possible ) . Authoritatively steered by Noseda , the LSO players relished the wild capers -- until the siren blew and the singing began . The idea , one can guess @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ symphony that ends both the chaos and the fun . Shostakovich 's impact on Alfred Schnittke was profound -- arguably weighing too heavily when it comes to the Violin Concerto No 1 , which the latter composer began writing as a student . In the first of three LSO concerts with Lisa Batiashvili , the Georgian violinist 's keenly modulated , strongly characterised performance grappled with its ups and downs . Even without its presto movement -- not performed here apparently according to the later wishes of the composer -- it 's an epic statement , but with a certain amount of bombast ( not always thinned down by Noseda and the orchestra ) , and the knotty final movement ultimately delivers less than it promises . Batiashvili 's ravishing tone found its most grateful outlet in the andante , where she was both seductive and dramatic . Programme notes mentioned Mahler here , but I actually thought of Bernard Herrmann 's heady score for Vertigo , written at around the same time . Wisely , Noseda did n't add any more anxious Soviets into the concert mix @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were at the fore again in a heartfelt , tenderly moulded performance of Brahms 's Song of Destiny . In another evening , such a climax -- " We vanish , we fall , the suffering humans " -- might have seemed like a downer , but Brahms offers wordless consolation in his postlude , and after the icky Ode to Lenin , the audience needed less dogma , more doubt . I suspect both Shostakovich and Schnittke would have enjoyed this Brahms a lot . ? ? ? ? ? lsolive.lso.co.uk |

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('he tries to talk Maria out of letting more people in'). It involves a prevention interpretation where the subject is attempting to prevent the object (Maria) from performing the action described by the VP2[-ing] predicate ('letting more people in'). The verb 'talk' fits into the category of verbs that appear in the V1 slot, specifically under 'By means of enticing, flattering, or verbal persuasion'. The NP object 'Maria' is a causee who participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

This review contains spoilers for the season 2 premiere of The Last of Us . The long-awaited return of The Last of Usis finally here , and it is already well worth the wait . " Future Days " may not be the tense , action-packed premiere episode we saw in season one , but it does an impeccable job setting the stage for this chapter of Ellie ( Bella Ramsey ) and Joel 's ( Pedro Pascal ) story . Just as The Last of Us Part IIstarts off slower and more domestic than the first video game of the series does , so too does " Future Days " kick season 2 off on a slightly more measured note . Sure , the threat of infected is still very much there , but at this time in Jackson , the biggest threat Ellie and Joel are facing is the big rift in their relationship . At least for now . Jackson feels even more lived-in and alive than when we last saw the town , and that 's also in part due to Joel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the settlement and welcome in more refugees . This is n't something the games really cover , but allows us to see not only how civilization tries to move on in the aftermath of tragedy , it also lets us see a softer side of Joel than we have previously . As much as he tries to talk Maria out of letting more people in out of fear of using up their resources , he has clearly come to love this town and cares about it . After being in survival mode for so much of his life , he finally has a chance to relax and be an uncle , brother , and father again . Ad Ad -- content continues below Despite this softness , five years after we last saw Joel and Ellie , something has shifted between them . Ellie seems to have figured out at some point that Joel lied to her about Salt Lake City and is mad at him for taking that choice away from her . Joel , on the other hand , is still stubborn and steadfast in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her life . He 's at least giving therapy a chance and talking about his feelings with Gail ( Catherine O'Hara ) , the town 's only therapist . But since he ca n't and wo n't give up the secret about Ellie 's immunity , he ca n't really open up about what happened and figure out how to move on from it , something that Gail repeatedly calls him out on . Even for fans of the games who knew this rift was coming , it 's hard to watch Joel and Ellie barely acknowledge or speak to each other . Pascal and Ramsey may have very few scenes together in this episode , but they still manage to play off of each other 's energy so well . When their paths finally cross during the New Year 's Eve party at episode 's end , it 's an explosive release It 's heartbreaking to watch these two people who are so similar be so at odds with each other . Especially when you can empathize with both sides . Tommy ( Gabriel Luna ) calls @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , saying " I swear , you and my brother ? Same Goddamn fucking person . " And Dina ( Isabela Merced ) clearly cares about both of them when she asks Joel why Ellie is angry with him . What makes this situation even more devastating is seeing Abby ( Kaitlyn Dever ) and her crew appear on the outskirts of Jackson at the end of the episode as well as an awakening of cordyceps within the town . We 're getting closer to whatever kind of revenge Abby has planned ( if you know , you know ) , and a potential attack on Jackson by infected , so the clock has effectively started counting down on any chance of reconciliation between the two . Tomorrow is never guaranteed in the apocalypse , even in a town as utopic as Jackson . But aside from the Joel and Ellie of it all , the rest of the cast , especially series newcomers Isabela Merced , Young Mazino , and Catherine O'Hara , do an incredible job of filling in the growing space between these two . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ellie and Joel 's beliefs about each other and how to approach the world and their interpersonal relationships . Ellie and Joel spent so much of last season with only each other to rely on , and now that they do n't even have that , they have to figure out how to let other people in . This season might not be as much of a beat-for-beat retelling of the game as season one was thus far , but that 's not a bad thing by any means .

Reasoning
×
The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('he tries to talk Maria out of letting more people in'). It involves a prevention interpretation, where the subject is attempting to prevent the object (Maria) from performing the action described by the VP2[-ing] predicate ('letting more people in'). The verb 'talk' fits into the category of verbs that appear in the V1 slot, specifically under 'By means of enticing, flattering, or verbal persuasion'. The NP object 'Maria' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

This review contains spoilers for the season 2 premiere of The Last of Us . The long-awaited return of The Last of Usis finally here , and it is already well worth the wait . " Future Days " may not be the tense , action-packed premiere episode we saw in season one , but it does an impeccable job setting the stage for this chapter of Ellie ( Bella Ramsey ) and Joel 's ( Pedro Pascal ) story . Just as The Last of Us Part IIstarts off slower and more domestic than the first video game of the series does , so too does " Future Days " kick season 2 off on a slightly more measured note . Sure , the threat of infected is still very much there , but at this time in Jackson , the biggest threat Ellie and Joel are facing is the big rift in their relationship . At least for now . Jackson feels even more lived-in and alive than when we last saw the town , and that 's also in part due to Joel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the settlement and welcome in more refugees . This is n't something the games really cover , but allows us to see not only how civilization tries to move on in the aftermath of tragedy , it also lets us see a softer side of Joel than we have previously . As much as he tries to talk Maria out of letting more people in out of fear of using up their resources , he has clearly come to love this town and cares about it . After being in survival mode for so much of his life , he finally has a chance to relax and be an uncle , brother , and father again . Ad Ad -- content continues below Despite this softness , five years after we last saw Joel and Ellie , something has shifted between them . Ellie seems to have figured out at some point that Joel lied to her about Salt Lake City and is mad at him for taking that choice away from her . Joel , on the other hand , is still stubborn and steadfast in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her life . He 's at least giving therapy a chance and talking about his feelings with Gail ( Catherine O'Hara ) , the town 's only therapist . But since he ca n't and wo n't give up the secret about Ellie 's immunity , he ca n't really open up about what happened and figure out how to move on from it , something that Gail repeatedly calls him out on . Even for fans of the games who knew this rift was coming , it 's hard to watch Joel and Ellie barely acknowledge or speak to each other . Pascal and Ramsey may have very few scenes together in this episode , but they still manage to play off of each other 's energy so well . When their paths finally cross during the New Year 's Eve party at episode 's end , it 's an explosive release It 's heartbreaking to watch these two people who are so similar be so at odds with each other . Especially when you can empathize with both sides . Tommy ( Gabriel Luna ) calls @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , saying " I swear , you and my brother ? Same Goddamn fucking person . " And Dina ( Isabela Merced ) clearly cares about both of them when she asks Joel why Ellie is angry with him . What makes this situation even more devastating is seeing Abby ( Kaitlyn Dever ) and her crew appear on the outskirts of Jackson at the end of the episode as well as an awakening of cordyceps within the town . We 're getting closer to whatever kind of revenge Abby has planned ( if you know , you know ) , and a potential attack on Jackson by infected , so the clock has effectively started counting down on any chance of reconciliation between the two . Tomorrow is never guaranteed in the apocalypse , even in a town as utopic as Jackson . But aside from the Joel and Ellie of it all , the rest of the cast , especially series newcomers Isabela Merced , Young Mazino , and Catherine O'Hara , do an incredible job of filling in the growing space between these two . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ellie and Joel 's beliefs about each other and how to approach the world and their interpersonal relationships . Ellie and Joel spent so much of last season with only each other to rely on , and now that they do n't even have that , they have to figure out how to let other people in . This season might not be as much of a beat-for-beat retelling of the game as season one was thus far , but that 's not a bad thing by any means . We 've already seen how well Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann can expand upon this world in meaningful ways with emotional episodes like season 1 's " Long , Long Time " and the chilling opening to the episode " Infected .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses the phrase 'to get the most out of using Cipher,' which does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of using Cipher' is part of a prepositional phrase indicating benefit or advantage, not the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'ducked out of fracking shale gas' does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'ducked out of' seems to be used in a more idiomatic sense meaning 'avoided', and 'fracking shale gas' is not a VP[-ing] predicate with a causee role.

Labour ministers , trade union leaders and even anonymous civil servants point to the Chinese owners of the Scunthorpe blast furnaces as the bad guys , saying they had always intended to close the plant however much government money was offered . Treasury minister James Murray is even claiming that Jingye has ' behaved irresponsibly ' . Some trade unionists are also making it be known that the Chinese firm brought British Steel 's furnaces to their knees because it wants to force the UK to import cheaper its virgin steel to be used in the rolling mills . Not so , claims Jingye , the Chinese operator that is losing ? 700,000 a day from the steel-making operation -- which supplies vital steel for Network Rail 's tracks and infrastructure for Hinkley Point C , among other strategic projects . It blames the extraordinarily high cost of industrial electricity for the losses . Targets : Secretary of State for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pledged to fight for Net Zero Even if it were the case that China wants to dump cheap steel on the UK , that suggests that it is less expensive to ship virgin steel from China to Lincolnshire to be used in the mills than making it in situ . Utter madness . No wonder China 's foreign ministry is accusing Keir Starmer 's Government of ' politicising trade cooperation ' after passing last Saturday 's emergency law to take over the Scunthorpe site . The foreign ministry is also warning that Starmer 's move could discourage future Chinese investment in the UK ( whether that 's good or bad is for another day ) . What is sure is that if the Government takes full control of Scunthorpe , the problems are not going away . The losses are merely transferred from the Chinese to the UK taxpayer . Sadly , new owners are not going to make it profitable . If Scunthorpe is to be saved , then the Government has a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ millions of pounds more a year to keep the plant going , or its new bosses will have to make some dramatic changes to British Steel 's operating structure to try to curb the losses . And there 's only one way to do that -- slash energy costs that are being held deliberately high by the Government because of insane green taxes and the hideously complex carbon credits . It ca n't be repeated often enough that the UK 's energy prices are three times those of the US , nearly double Japan 's , a third above Germany and the highest of any comparable developed nation . The reasons are manifold . Over the last 30 years British governments have failed to build nuclear plants , ducked out of fracking shale gas , stopped mining coal ( even though we have miles of the stuff under our feet ) , failed to invest in the grid or battery storage for renewables and slapped on green levies forthe privilege . All this leaves the UK a net importer of energy , mainly gas . As @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , renewable prices are high , too . All told , successive governments and their obsession with Net Zero have left the country high and dry with eye-wateringly high energy prices for industry and households . Yet what we are doing by de-industrialising the UK is shifting production and emissions overseas . If Starmer wants to be the strong man of steel , particularly now that he has made national security and defence such a top priority , he must also be ruthless , abandon Net Zero and sack Ed Miliband . If not , the collapse of the last vestiges of Britain 's industrial might -- Scunthorpe , Port Talbot , Grangemouth , the block on North Sea drilling and new coal mines -- will be on his watch . Rachel Reeves wo n't be best pleased with the latest survey of top business leaders from the ICAEW , the trade group for chartered accountants . It makes for dismal reading , with business confidence down into negative territory over the first quarter to 2022 levels . This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a state of despondency ; harrowing conditions ; and that prosperity remains a pipe dream . And who do they blame ? Well , first and foremost , April 's huge tax hikes ushered in by Reeves , made worse by the uncertainty provoked by Trump 's trade war . If Trump can flip-flop over tariffs , then the Chancellor is surely big enough to make changes , too . Affiliate links : If you take out a product This is Money may earn a commission .

Not so , claims Jingye , the Chinese operator that is losing ? 700,000 a day from the steel-making operation -- which supplies vital steel for Network Rail 's tracks and infrastructure for Hinkley Point C , among other strategic projects . It blames the extraordinarily high cost of industrial electricity for the losses . Targets : Secretary of State for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pledged to fight for Net Zero Even if it were the case that China wants to dump cheap steel on the UK , that suggests that it is less expensive to ship virgin steel from China to Lincolnshire to be used in the mills than making it in situ . Utter madness . No wonder China 's foreign ministry is accusing Keir Starmer 's Government of ' politicising trade cooperation ' after passing last Saturday 's emergency law to take over the Scunthorpe site . The foreign ministry is also warning that Starmer 's move could discourage future Chinese investment in the UK ( whether that 's good or bad is for another day ) . What is sure is that if the Government takes full control of Scunthorpe , the problems are not going away . The losses are merely transferred from the Chinese to the UK taxpayer . Sadly , new owners are not going to make it profitable . If Scunthorpe is to be saved , then the Government has a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ millions of pounds more a year to keep the plant going , or its new bosses will have to make some dramatic changes to British Steel 's operating structure to try to curb the losses . And there 's only one way to do that -- slash energy costs that are being held deliberately high by the Government because of insane green taxes and the hideously complex carbon credits . It ca n't be repeated often enough that the UK 's energy prices are three times those of the US , nearly double Japan 's , a third above Germany and the highest of any comparable developed nation . The reasons are manifold . Over the last 30 years British governments have failed to build nuclear plants , ducked out of fracking shale gas , stopped mining coal ( even though we have miles of the stuff under our feet ) , failed to invest in the grid or battery storage for renewables and slapped on green levies forthe privilege . All this leaves the UK a net importer of energy , mainly gas . As @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , renewable prices are high , too . All told , successive governments and their obsession with Net Zero have left the country high and dry with eye-wateringly high energy prices for industry and households . Yet what we are doing by de-industrialising the UK is shifting production and emissions overseas . If Starmer wants to be the strong man of steel , particularly now that he has made national security and defence such a top priority , he must also be ruthless , abandon Net Zero and sack Ed Miliband . If not , the collapse of the last vestiges of Britain 's industrial might -- Scunthorpe , Port Talbot , Grangemouth , the block on North Sea drilling and new coal mines -- will be on his watch . Rachel Reeves wo n't be best pleased with the latest survey of top business leaders from the ICAEW , the trade group for chartered accountants . It makes for dismal reading , with business confidence down into negative territory over the first quarter to 2022 levels . This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a state of despondency ; harrowing conditions ; and that prosperity remains a pipe dream . And who do they blame ? Well , first and foremost , April 's huge tax hikes ushered in by Reeves , made worse by the uncertainty provoked by Trump 's trade war .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'takes the stress out of managing family life' involves the verb 'takes' with 'the stress' as its object, but 'managing family life' is not a VP2[-ing] predicate that the object 'the stress' participates in as a causee. Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present in this context.

Hashem Abedi has been given a spork to eat his food and transferred back to Belmarsh prison , where he previously launched a vicious attack on prison guards , The Times can reveal . It has triggered fresh concerns about the prison service 's handling of the Manchester Arena terrorist , who allegedly attacked three officers on Saturday with boiling cooking oil from a separation centre -- known as a jail within a jail -- at HMP Frankland in Co Durham , which is one of the highest security jails in the UK . Prison officers at Belmarsh in southeast London are understood to have expressed concerns about allowing Abedi to have a spork -- a form of cutlery combining a spoon and a fork . One prison expert said : " Sporks can be sharpened . Right now he should have nothing in his possession capable of being used as a weapon . " Abedi , 28 , has been transferred to Belmarsh where he is being held in a segregation cell . This is the same prison where Abedi was previously found guilty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . He and two other inmates attacked Paul Edwards , 57 , a prison officer , in his office at the high-security jail . Advertisement For his part in that attack , Abedi received an additional three years and ten months on top of his 55 year-term that he received for helping his brother , Salman Abedi , plan his suicide bomb attack at the Manchester Arena in May 2017 . Injuries caused to Paul Edwards , who was attacked at HMP Belmarsh in 2020 PA PA Until Saturday , Abedi was living in a separation centre , reserved for the most dangerous extremists in order to prevent them from radicalising other inmates . Counterterrorism police are leading an investigation into the " serious assault " by Abedi , who is reported to have thrown hot oil over three officers on Saturday before stabbing them with " homemade weapons " , believed to have been fashioned out of baking trays . Prison Service sources said that the other prisoners who were serving alongside Abedi in the separation centre at HMP Frankland are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deliberately gathered in the gym as part of a diversionary tactic . " They knew something was going on and were grinning and smiling , " a prison source said . This meant that Abedi was left with just three remaining staff to supervise him while he used the kitchen , according to the source . Advertisement Prison Service sources said Abedi has been authorised to have access to ordinary prison cutlery from later this week . It will be plastic but is known to have been used to create makeshift weapons in the past . He is being held under the " multi-unlock protocol , " a process that requires five prison guards present every time his cell door is unlocked and locked , in addition to an officer who videos the session while wearing protective clothing . Lord Timpson , the prisons minister , said the independent review that will be launched later this week will get to the bottom of what happened at HMP Frankland . He told Times Radio : " It 's absolutely shocking what happened . And my heart @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by this attack . And we 're going to set up an independent review to look into what 's happened and what we need to do . And also there 's a police investigation going on , so I ca n't comment on the details . But , you know , my heart goes out to the staff ... The whole thing is terrible . " Belmarsh prison , where Abedi is now being held ALAMY The Sun has reported that the Islamic extremist Anjem Choudary was being held in the same separation centre in Frankland and counterterrorism police are investigating whether he may have inspired Abedi 's alleged attack . The Ministry of Justice said this was " speculation " . It is understood that there are fewer than ten inmates living in the two separation centres in operation in England and Wales , at Frankland and HMP Woodhill in Milton Keynes . However , they are given more entitlements than those in close supervision centres , which are even more secure and reserved for the most violently dangerous criminals . One of the entitlements @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ announced that an independent review will be carried out into the attack at Frankland , which will be launched by the end of this week . Meanwhile , The Times can also reveal that a riot broke out on Tuesday at HMP Lowdham Grange , a category B prison in Nottinghamshire . Specialist prison officers trained to deal with riots were sent in to the prison shortly before midday to deal with a hostage situation involving another inmate . Prisoners also climbed onto the roof and the netting on the prison 's wings . Officers had contained the riot shortly before 2pm , the Ministry of Justice said . " Prison staff rapidly resolved this incident , and I would like to pay tribute to them for doing so , " a ministry spokesman said . " But this is another sign of the problems we are facing in our prisons , with prisons that are overcrowded and violent . Advertisement " This government is gripping the crisis we inherited . We are building 14,000 new prison places and we will reform sentencing . We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on crime -- and we will make them safer for our hardworking staff . " Charlie Taylor , the chief inspector of prisons , said it was " eminently sensible " to suspend access to kitchens in separation and close supervision units after the attack . He told the Today programme on BBC Radio 4 : " I think that was a sensible decision from the secretary of state as we wait for the investigation and see what 's happened in this particular case . " We do n't yet know all the details of this appalling assault , and we need to wait and see what comes from that investigation , but it seems eminently sensible in the short term to do that . " Asked about the concerns of the families of victims of the Manchester Arena bombing , who say Abedi should be put in permanent solitary confinement , he said : " Well , you can totally understand people would have that opinion when they 've had such dreadful losses as those who lost loved ones at the Manchester bombing . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is there is some access to cooking facilities , but it should be done in a risk-assessed and sensible way . These are prisoners who are often serving very , very long sentences , who 've really got nothing to lose . " And of course , the danger is if you take everything away from those prisoners , actually they have so little to lose that actually it can make their behaviour even worse . So it 's always about security being dynamic and proportionate . " |

Advertisement For his part in that attack , Abedi received an additional three years and ten months on top of his 55 year-term that he received for helping his brother , Salman Abedi , plan his suicide bomb attack at the Manchester Arena in May 2017 . Injuries caused to Paul Edwards , who was attacked at HMP Belmarsh in 2020 PA PA Until Saturday , Abedi was living in a separation centre , reserved for the most dangerous extremists in order to prevent them from radicalising other inmates . Counterterrorism police are leading an investigation into the " serious assault " by Abedi , who is reported to have thrown hot oil over three officers on Saturday before stabbing them with " homemade weapons " , believed to have been fashioned out of baking trays . Prison Service sources said that the other prisoners who were serving alongside Abedi in the separation centre at HMP Frankland are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deliberately gathered in the gym as part of a diversionary tactic . " They knew something was going on and were grinning and smiling , " a prison source said . This meant that Abedi was left with just three remaining staff to supervise him while he used the kitchen , according to the source . Advertisement Prison Service sources said Abedi has been authorised to have access to ordinary prison cutlery from later this week . It will be plastic but is known to have been used to create makeshift weapons in the past . He is being held under the " multi-unlock protocol , " a process that requires five prison guards present every time his cell door is unlocked and locked , in addition to an officer who videos the session while wearing protective clothing . Lord Timpson , the prisons minister , said the independent review that will be launched later this week will get to the bottom of what happened at HMP Frankland . He told Times Radio : " It 's absolutely shocking what happened . And my heart @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by this attack . And we 're going to set up an independent review to look into what 's happened and what we need to do . And also there 's a police investigation going on , so I ca n't comment on the details . But , you know , my heart goes out to the staff ... The whole thing is terrible . " Belmarsh prison , where Abedi is now being held ALAMY The Sun has reported that the Islamic extremist Anjem Choudary was being held in the same separation centre in Frankland and counterterrorism police are investigating whether he may have inspired Abedi 's alleged attack . The Ministry of Justice said this was " speculation " . It is understood that there are fewer than ten inmates living in the two separation centres in operation in England and Wales , at Frankland and HMP Woodhill in Milton Keynes . However , they are given more entitlements than those in close supervision centres , which are even more secure and reserved for the most violently dangerous criminals . One of the entitlements @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ announced that an independent review will be carried out into the attack at Frankland , which will be launched by the end of this week . Meanwhile , The Times can also reveal that a riot broke out on Tuesday at HMP Lowdham Grange , a category B prison in Nottinghamshire . Specialist prison officers trained to deal with riots were sent in to the prison shortly before midday to deal with a hostage situation involving another inmate . Prisoners also climbed onto the roof and the netting on the prison 's wings . Officers had contained the riot shortly before 2pm , the Ministry of Justice said . " Prison staff rapidly resolved this incident , and I would like to pay tribute to them for doing so , " a ministry spokesman said . " But this is another sign of the problems we are facing in our prisons , with prisons that are overcrowded and violent . Advertisement " This government is gripping the crisis we inherited . We are building 14,000 new prison places and we will reform sentencing . We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on crime -- and we will make them safer for our hardworking staff . " Charlie Taylor , the chief inspector of prisons , said it was " eminently sensible " to suspend access to kitchens in separation and close supervision units after the attack . He told the Today programme on BBC Radio 4 : " I think that was a sensible decision from the secretary of state as we wait for the investigation and see what 's happened in this particular case . " We do n't yet know all the details of this appalling assault , and we need to wait and see what comes from that investigation , but it seems eminently sensible in the short term to do that . " Asked about the concerns of the families of victims of the Manchester Arena bombing , who say Abedi should be put in permanent solitary confinement , he said : " Well , you can totally understand people would have that opinion when they 've had such dreadful losses as those who lost loved ones at the Manchester bombing . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is there is some access to cooking facilities , but it should be done in a risk-assessed and sensible way . These are prisoners who are often serving very , very long sentences , who 've really got nothing to lose . " And of course , the danger is if you take everything away from those prisoners , actually they have so little to lose that actually it can make their behaviour even worse . So it 's always about security being dynamic and proportionate . " |

Liverpool have defied expectations to move within an inch of the Premier League title , Champions Elect , after the ruling of the majority consigned the Reds to a fight for top four before a ball had been kicked . How wrong we all were . Even the most optimistic Liverpool supporters will have harboured doubts after Jurgen Klopp shocked the world and stepped down from his throne after nearly nine years , Arne Slot replacing him last summer . It 's remarkable that he 's done it without making any meaningful first-team investment , dealt with contractual problems and managed a squad bearing weaknesses across several areas . Centre-forward Darwin Nunez 's woes have been at the forefront of the drama . But it has n't worked out . Nunez is heading toward the end of the season , having made just eight Premier League starts under Slot 's wing , lacking the streamlined potency that the Dutch tactician seeks out . Given that he 's now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? 65m , Liverpool must harbour some level of regret that they did n't keep the faith , especially given that Nunez has failed to impress . It 's a cautionary tale , one that Liverpool might want to bear in mind as they shuffle through their summer plans . Indeed , FSG are in danger of repeating their Solanke blunder . Liverpool are planning to bolster Slot 's squad with several new parts this summer , but exits will also be considered . The transfer chiefs will need to ensure they get it right , though , and avoid a repeat of the one-time Solanke sale through the potential departure of Harvey Elliott . Elliott has been on Liverpool 's books since he was 16 , poached from Fulham . Now 21 , the Englishman has racked up a considerable number of senior appearances for the Reds , 141 , having clinched 33 goal involvements and won a host of major honours besides . He 's a super-talented young star . And the data really does speak for itself @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1% of midfielders across Europe 's top five leagues over the past year for all of goals , assists and shot-creating actions recorded per 90 . Shot-creating actions are pieces of play that lead to a shot . These include moments such as a pass , take-on or foul being drawn . A slick passer and able ball-carrier , Elliott also ranks among the top 4% for progressive passes and the top 5% for progressive carries per 90 . Despite his limited involvement this term , the England U21 star has enjoyed some rather standout moments , further illustrating his natural prowess in attacking situations , his ability to spark something out of nothing . That goal against Paris Saint-Germain will gather more dust than perhaps it deserves in the sprawling library of Champions League history - for Liverpool were defeated in the return leg at Anfield - but there 's no denying it was a seismic strike , his third on Europe 's elite stage this season . Oh , if FSG and Slot were to convene and conclude that Elliott 's future is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be able to bank a decent sum , as the club did with Solanke way back when . Newcastle United are among the early contenders , report The Chronicle this month , and Liverpool have thus slapped a ? 40m price tag on their young playmaker . But , looking at Solanke 's journey since , it might be a little frustrating that he was n't kept on the books , or perhaps loaned out across a string of seasons to foster his natural ability . Tottenham might be in a pit of despair at the moment , but the England striker has proved himself a talented and dynamic frontman for a forsaken outfit , scoring 11 goals and providing eight assists across 31 starts in all competitions . In any case , given that he 's risen to be one of England 's top strikers who fetched a large sum last summer , Liverpool might want to think long and hard about letting Elliott leave as he 's just starting out . If Newcastle offer Liverpool ? 40m , it would be a financial @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Reds down the line . Former Liverpool U18s head coach Neil Critchley once praised Elliott for his ability to create " magic " for his side , for his teammates . Liverpool wo n't want to lose that magic element as they venture into the unknown , especially since Slot 's set to lose Trent Alexander-Arnold 's creativity this summer anyway . |

Reasoning

The sentence 'Harry reached a 'civilised understanding' with Hugh to bow out of attending' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject (Harry) + V1 (bow) + NP object (out of) + VP2[-ing] predicate (attending). It also implies a prevention interpretation, where Harry is prevented from attending the nuptials. The verb 'bow' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically'. The NP subject (Harry) is an animate agent, and the NP object (attending) involves a causee (Harry) participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

When Prince William watched Aston Villa 's take on Paris Saint-Germain in a nail-biting Champions League clash yesterday , one of his oldest friends was by his side . The Prince of Wales was accompanied by Hugh Grosvenor , the Duke of Westminster , 34 , and his pregnant wife at the Birmingham stadium - a turnout that would surely have stirred some sore emotions for William 's estranged younger brother . The Duke , one of the UK 's biggest landowners , is a close friend of both the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex , and godfather to Prince George and also to Prince Archie . But Harry 's transatlantic dash has seen him miss multiple friendship milestones , ranging from a low-key football match to his perhaps more painful absence from Hugh 's 2024 wedding to Olivia Henson , 32 , who was also present yesterday . The billionaire aristocrat was reportedly keen to invite the Sussexes but mutually agreed with Harry that it would be better if they did n't attend so the occasion would n't be overshadowed by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hugh 's once-close relationship with the Montecito-based father-of-two , who was reportedly earmarked as Hugh 's best man at one point prior to his exclusion from the society wedding . Despite Hugh , known as Hughie by friends , and Harry remaining friends , seeing his brother celebrate Villa 's 3-2 win with the landowner yesterday would have no doubt added a sting for Harry , who is rarely in the UK to catch up with his old circle . To rub salt in the wound , it came just days after William enjoyed another boys ' night out in Paris to watch Aston Villa with childhood friends Thomas von Straubenzee and William van Cutsem . Prince William was accompanied by his old friend the Duke of Westminster ( pictured right ) yesterday evening Hugh and his wife Olivia ( pictured far right ) applauded after Aston Villa scored their second goal at yesterday 's match in Birmingham Both were boyhood friends with William and Harry and their families have remained closely entwined since , from high society events to charity partnerships , to godparent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . But after the Duke of Sussex made a dramatic move to Montecito in 2020 , and laid bare his grievances with the family in a tell-all memoir , Spare ; his connections with old friends have suffered alongside the well-documented rift with his family . Thomas is known as William 's best friend and in the wake of Megxit , sources said the future King was leaning on his old pal for support while Harry turned to another Van Straubenzee brother , Charlie . Meanwhile , Harry himself confirmed in his memoir Spare that he 'd experienced a rift with some members of the van Cutsem family who did n't approve of his tell-all Oprah interview . Seeing his brother enjoying himself with their old pals will have caused an even greater sting , coming just days after Harry skipped the wedding of his close friend Lord Vivian even though he was in London just days later for his Court of Appeal hearing regarding security provisions . Less than a week later , William was back at the football with Hugh - who shares @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hugh are seen during a 2015 visit to the Khulula Care for Wild Centre in South Africa with Care for Wild Centre owner Petronel Nieuwoud Pictured : Hugh and William at the wedding of Edward van Cutsem and Lady Tamara Grosvenor at Chester Cathedral on November 6 , 2004 Last week , Prince William was surrounded by old friends - including Thomas von Straubenzee , 42 , pictured left William van Cutsem , 45 ( popularly nicknamed ' VC ' ) , who is George 's godfather ( pictured far right ) was also in attendance In Spare , Prince Harry detailed how Thomas ( pictured ) acted as William 's real best man at his 2011 wedding to Kate , delivering the traditional speech with James Meade However , Harry agreed to stay away from Hugh 's wedding last year for fear of his feud with his brother overshadowing the event , it was claimed . A phone call from Hugh Grosvenor , the 7th Duke of Westminster , saw the Duke of Sussex invited to his nuptials with Olivia at Chester Cathedral @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ later claimed that Harry reached a ' civilised understanding ' with Hugh to bow out of attending , The Times reported .

' Apparently he Harry was put out by the request when he thought it should have been him . ' The Duke and Duchess of Westminster , who are expecting their first child , wed at Chester Cathedral , inviting around 400 guests , including Princess Eugenie and TV producer Phil Redmond to a lavish reception at the Grosvenor family seat , Eaton Hall , just outside Chester . Harry 's changed dynamic with Hugh is n't the only recent friendship change he 's experienced in recent times , with him cutting ties with his friends Thomas von Straubenzee , 42 , and William van Cutsem , 45 . William and Hugh , known as Hughie to close friends , have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2018 at the Stanford Hall Estate in Leeds with General Timothy Granville-Chapman ) The Duke and Duchess of Westminster , who wed last year , announced that that are expecting a baby this summer Olivia got into the spirit at yesterday 's Champion League quarter final and donned an Aston Villa scarf The van Straubenzees have often been described as being like a second family to William and Harry , and Claire and Alex - the boys ' parents - provided a retreat for the royal brothers during the ' war of the Waleses ' ( Charles and Diana 's very public , and painful divorce ) . Harry was particularly close to Thomas 's late brother Henry who became the royal 's best friend after they met at their prep school , Ludgrove Prep in Berkshire . ' Skinny , with no muscles , and hair that stood up in permanent surrender , Henners was all heart , ' he wrote affectionately of ' Henners ' . ' Whenever he smiled , people melted . ' The Duke said in his book that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mother Princess Diana after she died in 1997 . Tragically , he himself passed away in a car crash at the age of 18 . In December 2022 , despite being estranged , the princes signed a joint letter to mark the 20th anniversary of Henry 's death . Thomas 's brother Charlie appears to still be close to Harry , and both himself and Thomas were ushers at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex 's wedding in 2018 , where Charlie gave a speech at the reception . Harry also is godfather to Charlie 's four-year-old daughter Clover and , in turn , Charlie is godfather to Prince Archie , five . The pair were also seen cycling around the Californian neighbourhood in May 2022 . However Thomas - often described as the Prince of Wales 's best friend - is likely to have divided loyalties over the princes ' rift .

It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . Steven Schumacher has confirmed that Aaron Morley 's season is over after suffering " ankle ligament damage " at Barnsley .

" It 's too soon for us to know the extent of it and what the damage is , " the head coach explained . " But we were going through a training session today and he 's pulled up and had to come off , so he did n't look too happy walking off the training pitch .

Instead, it describes a situation where the speaker managed to escape from a corner by punching their way out, which does not involve a causee participating in an event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate. The phrase 'punch my way out of leaving' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, and the object 'my way' is not a causee in the required sense.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is the best adventure this character has embarked on in over 30 years . Developer MachineGames has leveraged its expertise in the FPS space to deliver an immersive , authentic first-person adventure that is quite unlike anything you 've played before . There was only one mystery I wanted to solve coming into Indiana Jones and the Great Circle . No , it did n't have anything to do with the Nazi 's misappropriation of ancient artifacts -- the pursuit of which fuels a worldwide expedition into the heart of Vatican City , arid expanses of Egypt , verdant jungles of Southeast Asia , and beyond . What I needed to understand was why developer MachineGames went to all the trouble of securing the likeness rights for a young Harrison Ford only to have you staring at his forearms for hours . Leveraging a first-person perspective as the primary point-of-interaction with such an iconic entertainment franchise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to play on familiar ground ( the studio famous for delivering two of the best first-person shooters of the modern era ) , it risked distancing players from an iconic silhouette . Tomb Raider and Uncharted set the model for Indiana Jones-inspired capers , after all -- capturing the thrills of Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade better than Steven Spielberg or George Lucas have managed with Indy in 30 years . So , why chance a venture into such unknown territory ? Here 's what I now know , as I continue sacrificing time into the acquisition of rare antiquities for no reason beyond some inherent belief that they all belong in a museum . The ongoing adventures of Lara Croft and Nathan Drake can make you feel like Indiana Jones in their finest moments , but the Great Circle lets you become Indiana Jones throughout its runtime . It 's role-play , a simulation -- and a spectacular one at that . Picture the scene : I 'm crawling around an ancient mausoleum lost to the annals of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . I drop it on the ground and begin rummaging around in a satchel , changing out of a disguise which allowed me to walk Vatican City streets unimpeded and into more suitable adventuring attire -- my health bar , my confidence , increasing as I physically pull a brown leather jacket around my shoulders . Stepping forward , dancing embers cast my shadow onto a wall lined with decrepit skeletons ; an outline adorned by a fedora and bullwhip staring right back at me . I am Indiana Jones . A small moment , given power by the organic way in which it materialized . But that 's Indiana Jones and the Great Circle all over , an experience which works to quietly remind you of the role you 're embodying when you least expect it . There was always a chance that slotting a new adventure into established canon would collapse under the weight of expectation , but MachineGames has gone to great lengths to create something which feels authentically placed in this universe -- rather than appearing needlessly nostalgic towards it . It 's a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flourish in front of scrutinizing eyes . An exceptional performance from Troy Baker is certainly one of them , with the actor capturing the roguish charm , vocal intonations , and physical mannerisms of Harrison Ford 's original portrayal in ways that are difficult to truly comprehend . There 's the soundtrack , which easily evokes the spirit of John Williams ' original compositions , and an overtorqued audio design which adds pulpy emphasis to every whip , crack , and snap . And then there 's the art direction and visual fidelity , among the best seen on Xbox Series X this generation . Indiana Jones and the Great Circle may cast most of its action from first-person , but MachineGames has this way of weaving seamlessly into and out of third-person cutscenes , lending the experience this natural , cinematic edge . The studio demonstrated a penchant for fantastic storytelling and scene-setting in Wolfenstein : The New Order and its sequel , The New Colossus , and that 's only been amplified here as it both captures the likeness of a younger Indiana Jones ( sharper than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a world battling the spreading Nazi regime circa 1937 . It is , in a word , astonishing . ( Image credit : Xbox Game Studios ) Authenticity alone does n't make for a great licensed video game . Such an achievement requires big ideas and excellent execution , two elements which are clear and present in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle . This is best reflected in how all-encompassing its three starring locations are . The towering depths of Vatican City , a densely detailed cityscape which is complex enough in its structure that it can support multiple self-contained adventures ; the vast desert of Gizeh , which smartly weaves larger-scale exploration with more linear tomb raiding ; and the sumptuous Sukhothai jungle , offering moments of explosive reflection before barreling towards a thunderous , Indy-appropriate conclusion . If you 're searching for a parallel here , perhaps it 's how Eidos Montreal sectioned its wider spaces in Deux Ex : Mankind Divided , or the way Arkane gave free rein to explore in its Dishonored series . Close comparisons that do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you take the time to ingratiate yourself with these densely-populated sandboxes , Indiana Jones and the Great Circle takes on a new dimension . The mystery of the Great Circle is forever looming , but there are plenty of mysteries to solve , collectibles to acquire , and side-stories to discover besides . I spent upwards of 10 hours uncovering all that I could in Vatican City before moving on , intermittently returning to continue hunting ancient relics and helping out acquaintances . Indiana Jones and the Great Circle made me reevaluate why I fell in love with this franchise . There are the set-pieces , of course -- the temple run in Raiders and tank chase in Last Crusade remain iconic , and this video game has no problem in capturing their spirit . But perhaps it always was the quieter moments which drew me into these adventures . The way Indy hurriedly gesticulates with his index finger as he uncovers some secret of history . How friendships and uneasy alliances are forged in the face of evil . That sense that pieces of a puzzle are being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ grander picture . The Great Circle captures all of these aspects , and excels because of them . ( Image credit : Xbox Game Studios ) There 's this grounded , tactile quality to everything that you do in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle . Accessing a restricted area requires you to physically insert a key and turn it to unlatch the lock . Navigating grandiose puzzles requires physical action , getting your hands dirty as weighted objects are shifted around and object placements are altered . The journal held in hand as riddles are solved , requiring attention to be divided between environmental clues and scrawled notes on scattered pieces of paper . Unleashing your whip is but a button click away . It all speaks to this real sense that you 're playing a role here , undertaking the same steps that Indiana would do were you watching him from afar rather than directly steering his actions . If there 's any area where Indiana Jones and the Great Circle falls short , it 's in how it communicates where free movement is restricted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a beat in one of the various interweaving storylines . It 's an infrequent frustration , and a surprising one given how well MachineGames is able to execute first-person exploration in open spaces teeming with Nazis and deathly hazards . Navigation routes are seamlessly communicated through natural environmental signals , traversal is light and impactful -- the perspective shifting to third-person as you cling onto ledges and rope-swing across chasms , avoiding both the unwieldiness and nausea which could draw focus from Dying Light and Mirrors Edge 's immersion . Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is n't what I thought it was going to be . It 's packed with wonderful set-pieces , its tomb escapes eliciting an adrenaline-rush with ease . But what kept me coming back for more is this undefinable quality -- this immersion into a world I 've always wanted to tumble into -- which MachineGames is able to deliver all throughout the adventure with ease . Let curiosity be your guide and see what secrets you will find , that 's the guiding principle to the Great Circle 's underlying design . I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ great improviser ( Image credit : Xbox Game Studios ) ( Image credit : Xbox Game Studios ) On the rare occasion that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle does provide the weapons ( and ammunition ) to wield firearms for any amount of time , I 'm instantly reminded of why MachineGames are legends in the FPS game . It may have been seven years since the release of Wolfenstein 2 : The New Colossus , but the studio demonstrates that it has lost none of its ability to deliver snappy , weighty gunfights . Indiana Jones was never a brawler , but rather a great improviser . MachineGames channels this aspect of his character through stealth-action combat cycles . You 'll spend vast amounts of time ducking and sliding around cover , leaning around corners , and clambering around the environment to avoid detection . Patrolling soldiers are cognizant enough of their surroundings to keep you on edge , but not aware enough to cause frustration . The studio 's Wolfenstein games are often remembered for their willingness to let you dual-wield massive shotguns @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in essence stealth games until they are n't -- and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle embraces a very similar model . Only , where B.J. Blazkowicz is only too content to rip and shred his way through wave after wave of enemies once an alarm is inevitably raised , Indiana Jones takes a different approach . His precious revolver is slow to fire and purposefully unwieldy , pushing you to take advantage of any opportunity that comes your way . The whip can be used to knock guns from hands and pull foes into grapples ; the environment is littered with makeshift weaponry , from pots and pans to guitars and brooms . A few strikes will put an enemy down but shatter the weapon , leaving you scrambling out of danger and back towards cover . It 's slapdash , and an excellent reflection of the way Indiana stumbles his way to success When all else fails , you can resort to hand-to-hand excursions . First-person melee combat is one of the few frontiers the video game industry is yet to truly crack , and Indiana @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's solid and weighty , but lacks true depth or technical ability . There was one area of the Gizeh landscape where I inadvertently found myself trapped in a corner as scores of Nazis poured on top of me , a situation I managed to slowly punch my way out of leaving the entire area clear for future expeditions as I went hunting for hidden books to enhance Indiana 's abilities . That 's actually one aspect where I wish Indiana Jones and the Great Circle had stuck a little closer to the Wolfenstein method of character development . In the shooters , Blazkowicz only improves through repetitious action -- leaving you with this sense that your abilities are evolving as you gain more skill and expertise over time . Indiana Jones and the Great Circle enacts a system where knowledge is gained through reading , which may be more thematically appropriate but does feel somewhat limited . ( Image credit : Xbox Game Studios ) " Indiana Jones and the Great Circle shows that there 's still plenty left for Lara Croft and Nathan Drake to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jones and the Great Circle is utterly enthralling . Small grievances do n't detract from what is undoubtedly one of the best , most singular adventures that I have played in recent years -- if anything , there 's a clear roadmap for improvements and iteration should MachineGames follow through with a deserved sequel . I 'm left with the impression that the studio took some big swings here , from the immersive first-person perspective to the complexity of its sandbox spaces , and they all connected . It 's been over a decade since the last Indiana Jones game ( and longer since Lucasfilm Games peered outside of the Star Wars universe ) , and the Great Circle only serves to highlight what we 've been missing out on for all these years . With its luxurious production values , smart pacing , strong stealth-action , and expansive structure , Indiana Jones and the Great Circle shows that there 's still plenty left for Lara Croft and Nathan Drake to learn about raiding tombs from the master .

ENTERTAINMENT : The 2024 Sunshine Festival in Upton proved popular with families ( Image : Newsquest ) This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues . It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . MUSIC festivals are often thought of as a young person 's game -- late nights , huge crowds and non-stop entertainment . But more and more families are discovering the magic of family-friendly festivals where kids , parents and even grandparents can share in the experience . Festivals designed with families in mind offer something truly special -- a place where children can dance to live music , parents can relax knowing the environment is safe and everyone gets to make memories together . We caught up with Steve Cass from Sunshine Music Festival in Upton to explore what makes family festivals such a brilliant experience . A festival experience for all generations One of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to bring multiple generations together . Grandparents introducing their grandkids to live music , parents sharing their favorite bands and kids getting their first taste of the festival atmosphere -- these are the moments that make family-friendly festivals so unique . " The best moments are n't just about the big headline acts but about the shared experience -- whether it 's singing along to a classic tune , dancing under the stars or simply enjoying time together away from screens . " Festivals can be a stress-free getaway for parents Unlike other types of family travel , festivals offer a self-contained , immersive experience that takes much of the stress out of planning a trip . At Sunshine Festival , for example , the layout is designed to keep things accessible for families with safe spaces for children to enjoy themselves while parents can still feel part of the action . Having everything in one place means no long journeys or complicated logistics -- just a weekend of fun . More affordable than a traditional staycation A common misconception is festivals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a typical UK staycation , they can be surprisingly budget-friendly . For the price of a few nights in a hotel , a family ticket to a festival often includes four days of entertainment , live music , camping and activities -- all in one package . Smart festival-goers know how to keep costs low by bringing their own food and supplies , taking advantage of family ticket bundles and enjoying free entertainment that would cost much more on a regular holiday . The memories last a lifetime Ask any child who 's attended a festival and they 'll tell you it 's an experience like no other . Seeing live music in a vibrant setting , meeting other kids , staying up late and feeling part of something bigger -- it all adds up to unforgettable moments that will be talked about for years to come . Steve said : " For many kids their first music festival is a core memory . " It 's the place where they hear their first live band , see their parents let loose and experience @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's more than just a weekend -- it 's an experience that stays with them for life . " Family-friendly festivals , like Sunshine Festival , prove that music festivals are n't just for young adults . They 're a place where all generations can come together , where music is shared across ages and where unforgettable moments are made . Whether it 's your child 's first festival or your family 's annual tradition , the magic of a festival is something everyone should experience .

The British actress has become the patron saint of the offended after a Saturday Night Live ( SNL ) skit mocked her overbite . Aimee , just grin and bear it ! The SNL sketch in question -- called White Potus -- was a parody of the black comedy HBO smash hit .

' Like what ? Having her chomp on a carrot and ask , ' What 's Up Doc ? ' Was it really that crass a departure from SNL 's usual sloppy satire ? If anything , the fact that it was funny at all was a rare return to form for a show whose ratings recently tanked . During the 2024 election cycle , SNL-bigwig Lorne Michaels and his lefty writers repeatedly failed to read the room , treating bumbling Joe Biden and cackling Kamala Harris with a reverence devoid of humor . Meanwhile , Reese Witherspoon 's production company , Hello Sunshine , waded into the saga with this online message . ' She invested seven months of mental and physical work into ( her White Lotus performance ) - so let 's celebrate her incredible talent AND leave space for Aimee to speak her truth beyond the roles she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she had a meltdown over it .

Yes , there 's been plenty of frothing indignation from celebs quick to jump on the victim bandwagon with their pious platitudes . Amid wider hysteria of bullying and misogyny , Wood claims to have had an apology from the show . -- but according to SNL insiders that did n't happen . Sherman sent Woods a bunch of flowers but , sources tell the Daily Mail , show bosses outright refused to say ' sorry ' on the grounds that the whole fuss was ' ridiculous . ' They 're right .

And why would she ? As Oscar Wilde said , ' There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about , and that is not being talked about . ' This is especially true for a self-absorbed B-list leading lady buoyed by a tiresomely predictable squad of virtue signaling cheerleaders . So , surprise , surprise , it 's a talking point . But it 's one that has played to Wood 's advantage . From her break-out role in the Netflix comedy drama Sex Education , in which she played one of the hit show 's main characters , Aimee Gibbs , she 's become the go-to girl for parts that demand kooky , endearing and a little quirky with a bikini bod and good looks .

Her buck-toothed battle against the odds is a neat narrative propelling her career and celebrity . It 's also the reason why , for someone who supposedly wants everyone else to change the record , she NEVER does herself . Speaking to Stylist magazine in 2020 she shared that when auditioning for the Netflix series Sex Education she read three times for a lesser character simply because that role was scripted to wear braces , ' I just thought , ' It 's a Netflix show , I 'm not going to get on there with my teeth .

They said , ' It had to be you , no matter what HBO said . ' Oh , spare us the faux imposter syndrome please .

The sentence 'It got me out of being poor.' follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. The verb 'got' (V1) implies a means to achieve a goal, and the NP object 'me' functions as a causee who participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'being poor'. The sentence can be interpreted with a movement/extraction interpretation, meaning 'It caused me to move out of being poor as if by getting'. Therefore, it is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

But , seeing as the object of the exercise is to keep you out of a real coffin , it 's time -- and money -- well spent . And , compared with just a few years ago , not much time and not that much money . An hour to check your whole body for signs of cancer , plus another five minutes in a CT scanner to look at your lungs and heart , is unusually quick . And , while hesitating to use the word cheap about ? 2,695 , the procedure is a great deal less expensive than it was when MRIs first became available and only the very rich could afford them . Ezra , the company offering the scan , has been up and running in the US for a while and has now come to London . The main cost of the process @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that down to an hour is what puts the price within reach of well-off but not stupidly wealthy people . Emi Gal , 39 , originally from Romania and the tech entrepreneur who founded Ezra , reckons he can halve both the time and the cost within 18 months . What 's driving these breakthroughs is , inevitably , artificial intelligence . Wearing rather stylish blue pyjamas and headphones , with an alarm buzzer in one hand should claustrophobia kick in , I am slid into the MRI tube . The tech has come a long way , but it 's still basically a giant magnet helping to create the images of your insides , so there are a lot of clunks , clangs and whirrs , one sequence of which sounds uncannily like the intro to Helter Skelter by the Beatles . Or so it seems in my nervous state , senses set at one level below full panic . The heavy metal has to compete with Whitney Houston -- my chosen musical accompaniment through the headphones . Patients are given headphones and an alarm button in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The hour passes ; the discomfort is n't so bad . Whitney wants to dance with somebody , find someone for me and wonders how she will know if he really loves her . It gets hot . I have to hold my breath maybe 20 times , which seems a lot . Via the mirror , I check the expressions of the radiographers and nurses in the control room , looking for signs of alarm or anyone making the sign of the cross . My left arm starts to hurt and I consider the irony of having a heart attack inside an MRI tube . Pros and cons , I guess . It 's only cramp . Once , to much relief , I am freed from confinement , the pain goes away . AI is revolutionising scanning , Gal explains from his office in New York , in two ways . First , the algorithm he and his coders have created averages out the " noise " of multiple scans more efficiently than previously , meaning fewer can be done , reducing time and therefore cost @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , AI helps to interpret those images more quickly and with greater specificity . Another AI program converts the medical jargon into plain English to present a report for the client . Advertisement Ezra founder Emi Gal : " The closest thing we have to a cure for cancer is early detection " ROBERT WRIGHT If Gal , and his competitors , can continue to get the cost down through AI , then MRI and low-dose CT scanning will become very widespread in the next few years . Gal , whose mother died from metastatic colon cancer aged 64 , says , " The closest thing we have to a cure for cancer is early detection . The main reason people die is there is no way to find cancer early in most organs of the body . " Cancer 's secret weapon is that it is often asymptomatic until it is too late . Scanning could be humanity 's way of responding -- " We can see you hiding " -- and then cutting out the cancer before it can do any damage . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the medical establishment is traditionally wary of scanning because of the risk of overdiagnosis : spreading alarm and triggering an expensive unnecessary " care cascade " through finding minor irregularities in tissue , or benign cysts , or indeed so-called indolent , slow-growing tumours that wo n't kill you . It took many years , from the early Seventies to the early Nineties , for mammogram screening to achieve national coverage in the UK on the NHS . " That 's when death rates from breast cancer started to decline , " Gal says . " Guidelines always lag behind the tech . It was the same with colonoscopies and pap smears . We 're trying to shorten the gap . With improved specificity , false positives decline . " The second problem , as Dr Dan Brook , Ezra 's UK medical director , explains , is that " British people have a deep scepticism of anything medical that feels too commercial " . This is a country , after all , that last summer elected a party whose leader confirmed during the campaign that he would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ children were seriously ill . Advertisement The fact is , as with most new technologies , those developed in the health sector tend to be accessed initially by the better off . Poor people did not go to Switzerland in the Twenties to ameliorate their tuberculosis . Obese people on minimum wage are not buying Ozempic a century later . " If we do a good job , " Gal says , " it will help save the NHS money . Treating a late-stage metastatic pancreatic cancer costs a great deal more than doing surgery on it early . " Biohacking entrepreneur Bryan Johnson having an Ezra scan @BRYANJOHNSON/X If Gal can realise his ambition of a 15-minute full body scan for ? 400 , which he thinks is possible within a few years , then regular imaging will become an affordable option even for those on average incomes . He is a businessman looking to make a profit . But he is also a man on a mission to reduce the ten million deaths caused annually worldwide by late-detected cancer . In 2016 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ founded seven years earlier in London , for $350 million , about ? 260 million . So he could be sitting on a yacht . " I had an interest in cancer screening long before I sold Brainient because I am in the highest risk bracket for melanoma , with more than 200 moles on my body . " Then there is the debt he owes to his mother . In the Nineties , when he was a child in post-communist Bucharest , she left to work in a hotel in Greece . With some of the money she remitted , his dad , a factory worker , bought him his first computer , a Compaq 386 . " I loved it . It got me out of being poor . " He discovered coding , then the internet . By the time he was in secondary school , he was making money building websites . A gifted mathematician and entrepreneur , once he 'd got super-rich at 30 he could have thrown his energy into a sector other than health . A few days after emerging from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make my way to Golders Green to meet Dan Brook . The client would normally be talked through their report on a video link , but I want to meet my ( temporary ) doctor face to face , that being something of a novelty these days . I 'm not worried , sharing the que sera sera attitude to my health typical of many middle-aged male Brits . Then again , I have smoked for more than 40 years , and until fairly recently I was overweight and drank heavily . Kim Kardashian in hospital for a body scan in 2023 @KIMKARDASHIAN/INSTAGRAM Rather to my surprise , I seem to have pretty much got away with things so far . My results are good . I 'm not harbouring any of the lesions that can presage cancer . Not anywhere . Brain , spine , all the bits and bobs in my neck , lungs , liver , kidneys , adrenals , pancreas , gallbladder , spleen , bladder , seminal vesicles , prostate , all tickety-boo . Nor can Brook detect any of the other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fatty deposits on the liver ; forthcoming aortic ruptures . I have some compression in my lower spine , consistent with ageing , and some ossification in my neck -- normal wear and tear . Advertisement Obviously , I fish around trying to get Brook to say I 'm in superb shape for my age , for any age , and would I mind him submitting a paper on it to The Lancet ? He does n't say any of that . It turns out I 'm doing spectacularly close to the average . Again , as I am a 60-year-old man , he would expect a slightly enlarged prostate , and indeed mine is the size of an apricot , as opposed to the walnut you have in your prime . What should I do about that ? " Nothing , " Brook says . My getting up once a night to pee is bang on normal for my age .

If I stopped the fags now , my decline in lung function hereon in would be no more steep than for a similarly ageing non-smoker . I need to give that some serious thought . It 's good to know your number is n't up , and also good to know that while you 've done yourself some damage , it remains in your power not to do any more . Brook is a private GP . He worked in the NHS for many years . " I believe in the NHS , but the reality is , it 's a clunky system that hates to change , " he says . He admits that for the first 20 years of his career he too was set in his ways , resistant to the utility of scanning . But he started losing trust in the PSA test for prostates and began sending more patients for scans . " I think it 's the future , " he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he thinks , and the demand will rise , to the point where the NHS will decide it will save money in the long run by removing early cancers . " Scanning used to be incredibly expensive and time-consuming and not always very specific . Now , with all the big data coming through from well people having scans , the AI can be fine-tuned all the time , so the analysis is more and more accurate . " Young people are deeply fascinated by their own health . This is the future " TOM JACKSON FOR THE TIMES MAGAZINE He does n't think the overdiagnosis argument applies any longer . " My scan revealed a small cyst in my pancreas , 4mm in size . I 'll probably do nothing . There 's a 3 per cent chance it could become malignant . As we know , pancreatic cancer presents very late . I now know I 've got a cyst and need to watch it . It wo n't turn into a fatal diagnosis . The reality is , medicine is changing . The technology @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the outcomes for late-presenting cancer have n't changed in 50 years . But if you get them early enough , the five-year survival rates for many cancers are close to 100 per cent . " Besides the tech revolution , Brook has noticed a cultural , generational shift that will also drive healthcare further in the direction of prevention as opposed to cure ( or no cure ) . " There is an increasing patient demand , " he says , " to understand their own health , to hold their own data , to improve their wellbeing even in the absence of disease . We need to embrace it . Yes , the state may decide there are limitations to what it is willing to contribute , which is fine -- I can see the arguments at a societal level . But at the individual level , people want to access this information and technology so they can live better and longer , and doctors must be open-minded . Young people are deeply fascinated by their own health . This is the future . " |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'made a career out of exposing', where 'exposing' is part of a gerund phrase modifying 'career', not indicating a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The NP object 'a career' does not function as a causee, and there is no causer-causee relationship as required by the construction.

A man has been jailed after engaging in sexual activity with a child when he was a teenager . ( Image : Lancs Police ) This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues . It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . A man has been jailed after engaging in sexual activity with a child when he was a teenager . Shelim Ahmed , now 37 , plied his victim with alcohol before committing the offences . Ahmed , of Corbett Street , Rochdale , committed the offences in Rochdale in the early 2000s when he was 17 and his victim was 14 . The victim , who now lives in Lancashire , reported the offences to Lancashire Police in October 2022 , who started an investigation . Ahmed pleaded guilty to 15 counts of engaging in sexual activity with a child at Burnley Crown Court in February . Returning to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . In a victim impact statement , the victim said Ahmed knew her age as she was often in a school uniform . She said : " He would show off by taking his top off , jumping around and showing off with boxing whilst at the gym . " I remember that at first I liked the attention as I had never been shown any in the past . " I was always the runt of my social circle ; I came from a poor background , and I classed myself as the ugly one out of my mates . " I always had the worst school shoes ; I was poorly dressed , and I never had makeup on -- I was a Tomboy . " So , for someone to show me attention , at first it felt good , and this was new to me . " I had never received compliments , and Shelim would compliment my bum . " She revealed how Ahmed managed to find her MSN account and would send photographs of himself just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ She said : " I only ever sent him a picture of my face . " As time went on Shelim then seemed to be with me every day . Everywhere I went he was there . " He would even wait for me at the school gates , attend swimming lessons that I was having , and he always seemed to have alcohol -- specifically vodka and Red Square alcopops . " And when he attended the swimming lessons , he would just walk around the edges of the pool as if he owned me . " As time wore on , he would ply me with alcohol daily and he acted as if he owned me . That then began to change how I felt . " I went from feeling happy about the attention to then being fearful of him . " I am still shocked he could attend the swimming lessons I was having , manage to get me outside afterwards , and then force me to have sexual intercourse with him after plying me with alcohol . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on my BMX with friends near my home and try to be the child I was at the time . " At the time when this was happening , due to his persistence in always plying me with alcohol , I was just always drunk . I even took to drinking in school , hiding the alcohol in Coke bottles . " This was just a constant theme , as each day Shelim would just get me drunk so he could use me for sexual intercourse . " It was Groundhog Day each day whilst Shelim was doing this to me . " She said she became pregnant at the age of 14 . " Shelim told me I had to get rid of the baby . He took me to the clinic and he waited outside whilst I went for the appointment . " I told them I was a year older than I was , following Shelim 's instructions to lie about my age . " At this stage I was frightened of him as he was very cocky , controlling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and he even at one point made me scribe his name into my arm . " I had to dress the way he was telling me to , he even made me dye my hair black . " I had to do what he was saying , especially as he had control over me due to how drunk he would get me . " Once I came outside after the appointment , Shelim again made me have sex with him . " She continued : " If I had not have met Shelim , I was a promising swimmer , I was good at boxing which I was learning at the time -- I was even scouted by the Royal Navy as they saw I was good at boxing . " But due to my behaviour after Shelim , I dropped out of everything . I was just drinking alcohol all the time . " I stopped going to swimming galas , I even drank through my GCSEs . I had no goals in life . " I was always in trouble and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ serious Class A drug users . " My life was ruined before it had even begun . It was taken away from me by Shelim Ahmed . " Because Ahmed committed the offence when he was 17 , he was sentenced as if he was a juvenile . An indefinite restraining order was also imposed , preventing Ahmed from contacting the victim directly or indirectly . DC Dan Healey , of the East Rape and Serious Sexual Offences team , said : " First and foremost , I want to pay tribute to the victim in this case for the immense bravery in first of all , coming reporting Ahmed 's abhorrent behaviour to the police and then the strength she shown throughout the judicial process . " As people will no doubt be able to gather from the victim 's harrowing statement , this offending has had a profound and ongoing impact on her . " While it is not for me to comment on the sentence , I welcome the fact that Ahmed has seen the inside of a prison cell for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of this case gives other victims of this type of offending the strength to come forward , knowing that you will be believed and that we will do everything in our power to put their abuser before the courts .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee and does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The verb 'get' is transitive and selects an NP object 'a kick', but the sentence does not give rise to either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Additionally, the NP object 'a kick' does not function as a causee, and the second predicate 'trying to defy the famous Crucible Curse' does not induce the required interpretations.

The walk from Sheffield Train Station to the Crucible Theatre is a walk like no other . Like so many , it 's always been one of my favourites . The surroundings are pleasant enough , and when the sun shines , South Yorkshire can glisten with the best of them . As April rolls around , snooker consumes the landscape , and you feel you can hear the Winter Garden long before you can see it . At this time of year , Sheffield , the steel city as it was famously known , becomes the snooker city . When defending champion Kyren Wilson opens the show against Lei Peifan on Saturday morning to a typically packed theatre , the buzz inside that famous old venue will make the hairs on your neck stand tall . Of course , other sports and other venues do that , but this is our sport and our unique , treasured venue . For the next 17 days , we will fall back in love all over again . Just has been the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ year 's championship is Ronnie O'Sullivan . Twelve months ago , all eyes were on O'Sullivan and his bid to complete the Triple Crown set all in the same season . This year , the question is whether he will choose to play at all . At the time of publication , we are under the impression he will , so we 'll assess his chances the best we can . And the truth is , it 's not an easy one to weigh up . We are n't talking about any normal snooker player here . O'Sullivan is a snooker player like no other , a sportsman who would n't be out of place if we were talking about Tiger Woods , Pele or Novak Djokovic . In snooker terms , this is the greatest of all time . Seven world titles , the last of which came in 2022 to draw him level with Stephen Hendry , means one more Crucible win is all there is left for O'Sullivan to achieve . He has done everything else . Most ranking titles , most Triple Crown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to new heights , and there wo n't be another like him . In 2013 , O'Sullivan took a season-long break before dusting off his cue to win the World Championship at a canter . The similarities are there for all to see , though he was n't approaching his 50th birthday all those years ago . Despite not playing competitively since the Championship League in January , when smashing his cue to pieces in anger and subsequently pulling out of the Masters , O'Sullivan 's form before Christmas suggested the old magic was still there . He reached three semi-finals and played well enough when losing to Barry Hawkins at the UK Championship . We should n't forget that O'Sullivan was by some distance the best player of the previous campaign , five major titles , including the UK Championship and the Masters , a wonderful demonstration of his enduring dominance over the rest of the tour . Ronnie O'Sullivan is chasing an eighth world title I ca n't believe that just a year on , O'Sullivan 's best snooker is n't capable of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flying in practice , I wo n't be ruling him out , for all I suspect understandable rustiness makes him vulnerable in the first couple of rounds . Strangely , a first-round meeting with Ali Carter might be just what he needs . He and Carter go way back and the relationship is a sour one . There is no love lost there , but that might just sharpen the O'Sullivan mind . One man who wo n't be rusty is the aforementioned Wilson , defending champion following his maiden world title last spring when beating Jak Jones 18-14 in the final . So many have struggled the season after winning the World Championship for the first time -- Luca Brecel is the most recent example of that -- but not so Wilson . He has won four big tournaments , including the Players Championship when he beat Judd Trump in a final for the third time this term . As for the Triple Crown events , he reached the last four of the UK Championship and the final @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wilson has taken everything in his stride through the year and is just the type who will relish returning to Sheffield as champion . Furthermore , I suspect he 'll get a kick out of trying to defy the famous Crucible Curse . The weight of history suggests Wilson is up against it , and he finds himself in a tough half of the draw with O'Sullivan , Mark Allen and Mark Selby , to name just a few . I wo n't be backing him , his heavy workload this year as much of a reason as anything else , but there is no question that he boasts outstanding form claims for a 7/1 chance . That top half of the draw promises to take some navigating , but I 'll never forget John Higgins telling me back in 2019 that when it comes to the Crucible and the draw , ' you can rip it up ' . He was right that year , too , as James Cahill famously stunned O'Sullivan in round one and that section opened right up . A brilliant world champion in 2010 , my personal view is that criticism of Robertson 's more recent record at the Crucible is unfair , and I 'm convinced he has enjoyed the perfect preparation this time around . His record at the World Championship fills plenty of column inches and gains much traction on social media , but we are talking about a former champion here who has made two more semi-final appearances and six quarter-finals . It 's hardly anything to be ashamed of and certaintly does n't suggest to me this is a man who does n't act at the track . Moreover , he has produced some wonderful performances at the Crucible in recent times . He made a memorable 147 maximum break in a thrilling match with Jack Lisowski three years ago , and produced a spellbinding display against Shaun Murphy in 2019 when winning 13-6 . Shaun Murphy and Neil Robertson I 'm keen to talk about that 2019 renewal , because to my mind it highlights one of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Championship more recently . That season had been another successful one for the Australian , but March was especially busy that year , with two finals reached at the Players Championship and Tour Championship . By the time he met John Higgins in the last eight at the Crucible , he was beginning to run on empty , and in a match that turned into something of a war , not helped by any number of kicks and issues with conditions , Higgins ground his way to victory . I do n't think playing behind closed doors really helped anyone the following year , but Robertson made the quarter-finals again , as he did in 2021 just a few weeks on from beating O'Sullivan to win the Tour Championship . And lo and behold , in 2022 Robertson returned to the Crucible as the form horse having again won the Tour Championship just weeks earlier , along with the Players Championship prior to that . Yet again , the red light on the petrol gauge was flashing brightly by the spring , at the end of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ When we talk about the Crucible Curse , perhaps we should talk about the Tour Championship Curse , too , because it 's not only Robertson who has come unstuck in Sheffield following victory in another significant event just a matter of weeks prior . Shaun Murphy completed the Players Series double in 2023 and was atop of many people 's shortlists for the World Championship as a result . He went on to lose in the first round , as did Mark Williams last year , hot from his win at , you guessed it , the Tour Championship . I think it 's fair to argue that if you 're knocking Robertson 's Crucible record , you 're punishing him for his success in other big tournaments . We see it all the time . Throughout the course of a season , the top players peak and dip at different times . Robertson 's peaks have generally been around those big-money ITV events , and he deserves praise for that . Snooker players are n't machines , and for Robertson , after a sustained @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ couple of years . It got so bad that he did n't even make it through qualifying last year . But there is an old saying about class being permanent and Robertson has proved just that , working back to close to his peak with an early-season win at the English Open , and then victory at the World Grand Prix at the beginning of March where he beat a host of high-quality players , before whitewashing Stuart Bingham in the final . I really fancied him for the Players Championship on the back of that and he was n't far away , losing to eventual winner Wilson in the last four 6-5 having breezed into a 4-1 lead . Robertson did n't do a lot wrong on the night , Wilson was just outstanding from behind . It reminded me very much of when O'Sullivan was beaten by Robertson himself in the semi-finals of the Tour Championship back in 2022 . Robertson went on to win the event , while O'Sullivan showed himself to be working his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weeks later in Sheffield . And then at this year 's Tour Championship , I 'm not getting too hung up on Robertson 's heavy defeat to Selby who really did play out of his skin all week there . Robertson had beaten Selby at the Players Championship just a week or so earlier , so I doubt any sleep will have been lost over that . But what it does do is ensure the 43-year-old will finally head to the Crucible relatively fresh , but with confidence gleaned from that World Grand Prix success and his form at the Players Championship . To my mind , it 's close to the perfect Crucible preparation , something Robertson has n't had in a long time . And if I 'm right , and Robertson is about to peak for the big one , I think current quotes of 16/1 severely underestimate a player who is unquestionably one of the greats of the modern game . A colossal break-builder and laser-guided long potter , Robertson has won 25 ranking titles in a quite magnificent career already -- and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ again . Passing over Selby , essentially in favour of Robertson , is never an easy thing to do at this tournament , one he has won four times . Selby is a beast at the Crucible , almost unbeatable if reaching the final weekend . Mark Selby made a 147 maximum break in the 2023 world final However , perhaps there have been just a few signs that his air of invincibility in big finals might just be fading . Luca Brecel showed that in the 2023 final here and Higgins in that recent Tour Championship final , Selby losing from 8-5 in front there . That 's not to say he is n't highly respected . His Crucible record remains outstanding , a word which would describe his form throughout the Tour Championship . He clearly has plenty in his favour . Odds of 5/1 , and that 's the best you 'll find , confirm he has n't been missed by bookmakers , though , and with Robertson nearly three times the price , there was only one side of the coin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Can Allen finally crack the Crucible ? At a standout 20/1 , Mark Allen is more like it in terms of price , and he has become a much more rounded player in recent years . His tactical play has improved immeasurably and he seemingly possesses the patience of a saint . He can win ugly where he once could not . Sometimes it seems he prefers it that way . There is an argument to say that Allen has taken things too far at the risk of losing his attacking instincts , the thing that made him such a fine player to begin with . I 'm not so sure and the facts are that he has become a serial winner . Only two Crucible semi-final appearances in his career does n't make for good reading , though he did reach that stage in 2023 and comes into this year 's renewal fresh . The nagging doubt with Allen is whether he has the ability to win the sessions that he dominates easily , quickly wrapping up matches and conserving energy for the home straight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it 's something Robertson can do , and Wilson most certainly did it on his way to the title 12 months ago . We often talk about multi-session matches and players needing to be able to manage bad sessions to keep themselves in matches . Lose a session 5-3 that you might have lost 6-2 or 7-1 . Stay alive and go again . But being able to put matches to bed quickly is equally important in this marathon of 17 days . Mark Allen is eyeing up a first world title Does Allen have that in his locker right now ? I fear he does n't , and on the back of a season where he has constantly been searching for his best form , I can let him go in favour of Robertson from an undoubtably competitive half of the draw . I ca n't move on from the top half without taking a flyer on PANG JUNXU , who I thought was deeply impressive in qualifying for the Crucible for a third time . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jamie Jones comfortably . Crucially , he scored well in both matches . Pang is a young player I think can make a big breakthrough in the next few years , and he was n't far away when reaching the semi-finals of this season 's Northern Ireland Open , losing 6-4 to eventual winner Wilson in a good-quality match . He 'd earlier numbered Robertson and Brecel among his victims that week . Pang strikes the ball beautifully , looks to have a well-rounded game for one so young , and took seven frames from O'Sullivan on his Crucible debut in 2023 . Last year , he lost 10-9 to Robert Milkins , so is building up experience and should be better for it . His round-one draw against Zhang Anda , currently 0-4 at the Crucible , appears favourable , and while this top half is red-hot and littered with big names , quotes of 100/1 about Pang look worth a swing . Taking a flyer at this tournament has been no bad strategy in recent years . Brecel had n't won a match before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when making the final last year . Pang has the game to do something similar if the cards fall his way . The bottom half of the draw , in theory , should be easier to navigate , and sitting right at the bottom is world number one and 2019 champion Trump . It 's been another excellent season for Trump who has won three more tournaments , including the UK Championship in December , along with a host of other deep runs . It 's the consistency that really stands out with Trump now , and it 's hard to see him tripping up in the earlier rounds . Judd Trump won the UK Championship in December That said , those early rounds have been where Trump has been vulnerable in Triple Crown events in the past , and he was a round-one casualty here in 2023 , before turning in a ragged , tired performance in the quarter-finals last year . As with Robertson , and certainly last year O'Sullivan , I think Trump 's more recent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ volume of success he has enjoyed all season , every season . It 's hard to keep going to the well time after time . Interestingly , Trump has taken steps to try and counter that this term . He skipped the Scottish Open and Welsh Open , an unusual move for such a big supporter of the Home Nations events , and his victory in York demonstrated a real desire on his part to focus on the big ones . I personally find the argument over whether Trump can be classed an all-time great before he becomes a multiple world champion disrespectful . I suspect he will achieve it anyway , putting the tiresome debate to bed once and for all . But let 's be clear , this is one of the greatest to ever play the sport . You only have to watch an hour of Trump in full flight to see that . But as for the next 17 days , Trump is an awfully short price , irrespective of the draw , with any remaining scraps of 4/1 all but gone . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rocky recent record in Sheffield and that this tournament has thrown up so many shock results in recent years . I wo n't be backing Higgins at 14/1 , either , with that Tour Championship trend too strong to ignore , and the feeling that approaching his 50th birthday , the veteran Scot , who has danced every dance in recent weeks , might not have the reserves to keep going for another two and a half weeks . UK Championship runner-up Hawkins might fall into that same category , though it 's hard to knock his excellent returns this year , and how well he played until Higgins beat him in the Tour Championship semi-finals . Tour Championship hero John Higgins The fact he 's had so many bites of the Crucible cherry before and not been able to get over the line does temper enthusiasm for betting him , however , and I think there are younger men in the bottom half of the draw who have more upside . 2023 winner Brecel is clearly a fascinating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 40/1 . His form over the last two years has been largely moderate , but he reached a major final in Saudi Arabia last season , and has always been the type to blow hot and cold . What is not in question is his touch of genius when things click into place and he 's in the mood . The only time he has ever won a match at the Crucible came in 2023 when he won five and blitzed his way to glory . Mercurial , enigmatic , frustrating -- there are so many adjectives we could use to describe Brecel . But if he gets on a roll again , anything is possible . He 's not for me , but I will stick with JOE O'CONNOR at 66/1 despite a tough last-32 draw against Higgins . I 've always had O'Connor down as a likely type for the World Championship and his win over Selby here last year was hopefully the start of things to come . A solid match-player with a brilliant temperament , he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to some degree , his game mirrors that of the four-time world champion . O'Connor has taken another step forward this term , reaching the quarter-finals of the Welsh Open where he was n't quite able to capitalise on the good early lead he built over Carter . Still , there were plenty of positive signs there in short-format matches that have never really promised to suit his game ideally . And at the World Open , O'Connor really came into his own . He knocked in big break after big break to beat Trump 5-2 , before making three centuries in a 5-1 mauling of Masters champion Shaun Murphy . Revenge was extracted on Carter with another dominant performance in the semi-finals , but he would go on to lose 10-6 to Higgins in the final . In truth , you could argue that O'Connor was the best player that week , but he did n't settle early in the final and Higgins made him pay , surging into a 6-1 lead and nursing that advantage to victory after O'Connor had finally come to life . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ World Championship Like with Pang , those experiences will have done O'Connor plenty of good and I 'm sure that somewhere down the line , he will reap the benefits . A relatively late-starter , O'Connor 's best days are still to come , and the Crucible appeals as the most likely place for that to happen . Rewinding 24 months to Jones ' quarter-final finish , followed by his remarkable run to the final a year later , we are reminded that this is a tournament that lends itself to those types of stories and deep runs from relative unknowns . With respect to Jones , O'Connor and Pang both boast stronger credentials than Jones did in 2023 , or even last year , and to my mind , both are equally capable , if not more so . It 's also worth noting that O'Connor sharpened up his game with an excellent 10-7 win over Jackson Page on Judgement Day . That match was played to a high standard , hardly surprising given that Page had knocked in two maximum breaks in the previous round @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ His opening match against Higgins is clearly a tough one , but he has beaten the Scot in three of their nine career meetings to date , most notably in a Welsh Open quarter-final in 2019 . He wo n't be overawed by the occasion , as his last visit here showed , and nor should he be . With my own reasons for opposing Higgins already stated , I 'll chance O'Connor at 66/1 , with the view that the draw could really open up for him if he can first claim the scalp of another Crucible giant . In more recent years , the Crucible has become a place where giants have been slayed , so taking a chance on a couple of improving operators who are sharp from the qualifiers does appeal . They join 2010 champion Robertson on the staking plan for a World Championship renewal that has so much intrigue to it , not least because what many of us want most is to see the biggest giant in the history of the sport play snooker at the Crucible one more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have a number of self-help tools to help you manage your gambling .

Sex , vampires , jazz . For the moralists of 1930s white America , these were the three horsemen of the apocalypse , unruly forces that threatened civilisation . Jazz they called " the devil 's music " . It aroused fears that the savagery of the African jungle was about to be unleashed . And , around the same time , a new kind of femme fatale came on the scene , closely related to the flappers who danced the night away at jazz parties and were wildly promiscuous . They were known as " vampires " -- " vamps " for short . These women were said to be sexually voracious , possess supernatural powers , and come alive at night when righteous god-fearing folk were asleep . It 's no wonder that a century on we 're still fascinated by all this . The TV series True Blood followed the blood-curdling stories of Southern Vampires , and tourists in New Orleans can take time out from jazz clubs to follow a ghost and vampire trail . Now comes a new gothic horror film saturated in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ African-American director Ryan Coogler . Sinners stars Michael B Jordan as twin gangsters who 've parted company with Al Capone to return to their country home in Mississippi . The year is 1932 , chain gangs and cotton pickers swelter in the sun , and there 's something evil on the loose at night . It turns out to be white vampires , who succeed in infecting a few black folks with their evil . Music is everywhere ; banjo-twanging folk for the whites , jazz and blues for the blacks . Just another Hollywood film-maker embroidering historical facts to make a good story , you might think . But in truth the real-life intertwining of gothic horror and black music in America is so strange and unlikely it needs little exaggeration . You could trace the origins of it back to 18th-century English Gothic novels about malevolent spirits and locked towers in ancient castles such as Horace Walpole 's The Castle of Otranto . This rich Gothic strain was carried over to the American novel , the best-known examples of which are Hawthorne 's House of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . In 1872 the hugely popular vampire novella Carmilla was published , and it had an original twist : the vampire and her victim were both female , and both were beautiful . This was another step along the way to eroding familiar boundaries , which was what the bringing together of jazz and Gothic horror and vampirism was really all about . Beauty could be evil ; night was the time to come alive . The vigour of health and the pallor of disease were only a vampire 's bite apart . Sex could be same-sex . However the best date for a beginning of this mania might be 1897 , which was when the artist Philip Burne-Jones unveiled his painting of a female vampire about to sink her fangs into a sleeping male victim . The painting inspired a poem by Rudyard Kipling about the perils of being attracted to dangerous women , entitled The Vampire . The first line of the poem , " A Fool , There Was " gave its name to a wildly popular play inspired by the painting which opened in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ procession in New Orleans Credit : Bettmann And in 1914 a silent film version was released , which spawned a whole genre of vampire films . The star was Theda Bara , who cleverly played on her dark good looks to give herself an aura of mystery . When she was auditioned at Fox Studios and asked where she hailed from , this daughter of a respectable Anglo-Jewish family replied , " It would n't be exciting to say Cincinnati would it ? Why do n't we say the Sahara desert ? " She then made a whole career out of playing sexually voracious " Arabic " characters such as Cleopatra . In the fraught racial politics of early 20th-century America this was dynamite . The hopes of equality nurtured in the post-Civil War period had been replaced in the South by oppressive Jim Crow laws enforcing racial segregation , and lynchings were an almost daily occurrence . So to cross the race divide was the most daring and titillating kind of boundary-crossing imaginable . For that reason " passing " as it was known became something of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the sleeping Lucy Weston , played by Frances Dade in Dracula ( 1931 ) Credit : Getty Images The best-known fictional example was Nella Larsen 's novel Passing , published in 1929 . In this book , the heroine Clare Kendry , a black woman living in Harlem , takes on a white identity by day so she can live a trouble-free existence with her white husband . She 's a strange unhappy creature , with a magnetic but somehow corrupting sexual allure that fascinates and repels her black friend Irene . Clare is envious of Irene 's secure place in the warmth of nocturnal Harlem , even though she enjoys flaunting her erotic power in the deathly day-time world of white New York . Alive at night , dead during the day . What does this remind us of ? Dracula , of course , a novel also published in that magic year of 1897 . A staged version of the story was a smash hit in London and New York in 1927 , and this was followed by the classic film of 1931 starring Bela Lugosi @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ master at the art of " passing " , fooling the upper classes of London that he 's a bona fide European aristocrat , while becoming the blood-sucking monster at night . Jazz and its close cousin the blues seem at first sight to be a world away from all this . Yes , jazz took place at night , but it was an art of rude and unmistakably masculine vigour , and blues was a music of devastating emotional honesty . No deceit or " shape-shifting " there . But in the white imagination they were bound up with something thrillingly dark and primitive . The sophisticated city-dwellers in the North had heard stories from their parents of strange religious practices known as " voodoo " which had flourished during the Reconstruction period after the Civil War . Journalists ventured to the scenes of these ceremonies with the same trepidation felt by explorers in Africa . One of them , Charles Dudley Warner , reported breathlessly from New Orleans in 1889 that " While the wild chanting , the rhythmic movement of hands and feet , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their height , it was difficult to believe that we were in a civilised city of an enlightened republic ... It was so wild and bizarre that one might easily imagine he was in Africa or hell . " These scenes attracted white tourists , including high-born ladies in search of a thrill who even joined in the dances . According to one newspaper report , when the name of one of these women was revealed her husband committed suicide . These ex-slaves were recreating what they remembered of the religious ceremonies they had left behind in Africa . It was out of these same African roots and , quite possibly in the very same spaces , that jazz was born . As far back as 1819 the architect Benjamin Latrobe witnessed slave dances in Congo Square in New Orleans where women formed themselves into a slowly moving ring , while the men beat out rhythms on drums " with incredibly quick fingers " . The great jazz saxophonist Sidney Bechet recalled stories told by his grandfather of beating out rhythms in the same square , decades later . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blues because they fancied they could hear something " African " in its rhythmic exuberance , they were not entirely wrong . In the early days of jazz after the First World War , black musicians realised there was money to be made from white folks ' desire for something savage . At New York 's famous Cotton Club a strictly white-only clientele went to be thrilled by the " jungle " style developed by the strictly all-black performers on stage . It was exemplified in the rasping muted trumpet and shrill high clarinet of Jungle Nights in Harlem , recorded in 1930 by the greatest master of the genre Duke Ellington . The connection between black music and voodoo seems natural . Its association with vampirism was harder to explain -- nonetheless , they were inextricable . The 1924 song Two Faced Woman Blues was typical of a whole swathe of music-making about uncanny , sexually predatory women , with fatal , magnetic allure . As the song has it , " They call me a vampire , that 's why I ai n't got no friends/ My @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' Jungle sounds ' : a blues band playing in Chicago Credit : Chicago History Museum This rich melange of European gothic , African voodoo , and black music was bound to produce a moral panic among god-fearing whites . By the end of the 1920s jazz was prohibited in dance halls in more than 60 communities . A Cincinnati sanatorium for expectant mothers won an injunction to halt the construction of a jazz venue , on the grounds the music would damage the unborn babies . The president of the General Federation of Women 's Clubs launched a crusade against jazz in 1921 , declaring that it was " originally the accompaniment of the voodoo dance , stimulating half-crazed barbarians to the vilest of deeds " . Coogler 's film plays on this panic and gives it a twist . For one thing , the vampires are white men , which is unusual . And because we 're in the country , the music that causes a moral panic is definitely blues rather than jazz . It 's actually a black pastor who pronounces a curse @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Another character goes even further : this is music which can " pierce the veil between life and death " . As Coogler 's film shows , that idea is as potent as ever . |

Council leaders have been urged to improve and rethink how they support foodbank services and protect vulnerable residents . ( Image : The Northern Echo ) This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues . It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . Council leaders have been urged to improve and rethink how they support foodbank services and protect vulnerable residents . Jonathan Dulston , leader of Darlington Conservatives , said the news that King 's Foodbank had significantly scaled back its operation should act as a wake-up call for Darlington Borough Council . The service , which operates out of King 's Church on Whessoe Road , provided more than 125,000 free meals to people last year but saw its donations dry up despite increased demand . Food parcels are now available just one day a week for people referred to the service by social services and other organisations . The Labour-Liberal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the " back foot " with the issue , but said it swiftly stepped up to provide support . Money from the council 's Household Support Fund has been allocated to keep it afloat . Council Leader Stephen Harker said : " When the foodbank came to us , they were starting to implement the decision that they had made . It was within about three days that we went back to them with the funding , and it means they can deliver the reduced service . " They will continue to be the biggest foodbank provider within Darlington , which they have been for many years now .

Notts County boss Stuart Maynard thought his side deserved to win ( Image : PA ) This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues . It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . NOTTS County boss Stuart Maynard thought they should have been the third away side to win at Valley Parade this season . David McGoldrick 's brilliant equaliser earned a point for the sixth-placed Magpies against City last night following back-to-back defeats . But Maynard was adamant his team deserved more from a pulsating encounter . He said : " If this game had been earlier in the season , we 'd have probably come away saying it was a great point on the road . " But I felt like it was two points dropped . We had all the big moments in the first half and , in the second half , I thought we were the team wanting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the game . " But we got sucker-punched when they got a goal out of nothing . " They are a big team and have scored a lot of goals this season from restarts . At times you just ca n't defend it , the ball was good and the goal was good . " I was really pleased , though , with the character that we showed after that and Didzy ( McGoldrick ) has done what he does and scored another one for us , which I think is right up there because of the moment he scored it . " When you 're 1-0 down , you can tense up as a player in that situation and it 's easy to snatch at it , but he 's so calm in those moments . He 's been incredible for us all season and was incredible again . " Notts County are three points off the automatic places -- a gap that is likely to increase after this afternoon 's full fixture list . Maynard added : " While it 's still @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The aim before the season started was to try and get promoted and that has n't changed . " But I feel it was two points dropped because the level of performance deserved that .

Amorim 's men blew a 2-0 lead to trail 4-2 in extra time , before scoring three goals in the last seven minutes to seal a last four spot against Athletic Bilbao . United supporters have been left celebrating one of the greatest night 's in the club 's proud European history . ? But Maguire , who snatched the winner in the 121st minute of an epic tie , said it was " criminal " United put themselves in that position in the first place . And the England defender warned they can not make the same mistake again if United want to go on win the Europa League - to book a place in the Champions League next season . Maguire knows United can not keep producing great escapes like the one on Thursday . He said : " We should n't end up in that situation . We 've got to do far better than that if we want to win this competition . " We ca n't be doing that and be leaving it to turn it around in that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it was comfortable . They had a lot of possession , but they did n't create chances . Then they scored the first goal out of nothing . " With the season we 've had , at Old Trafford especially , we started maybe playing a little anxiously , a little bit nervously . We needed to see out those minutes and be solid , so to end up at 2-2 straight away , it was difficult to take . ? " Then in extra-time we obviously ca n't get done on two counter-attacks like that when we 're playing against 10 men . It 's criminal , really .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It involves the phrase 'get a kick out of', which is an idiomatic expression meaning to enjoy something, and does not involve a causee or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The object 'hopping on one...' is not a causee, and the verb 'get' does not fit the semantic classes of verbs that typically appear in the V1 slot of the construction.

( Image credit : Anne-Marije Rook ) Cycling Weekly Verdict If you already own a compatible bike that you love , enjoy some hands-on tinkering , and like the idea of breathing new life into an old frame , the Swytch Go is a clever and relatively affordable entry point into the world of e-bikes . However , it 's not quite the seamless solution it 's billed as . And as entry-level e-bikes get more affordable , the conversion kit 's value proposition diminishes . You can trust Cycling Weekly . Our team of experts put in hard miles testing cycling tech and will always share honest , unbiased advice to help you choose . Find out more about how we test . There 's something undeniably joyous about riding an e-bike . Even as a fairly capable cyclist , I still get a kick out of hopping on one , gliding along with minimal effort , running errands , commuting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dreaded " junk miles . " I 'm a big fan of the e-bike boom we 're experiencing -- not just because I 'm a lifelong cyclist , but because e-bikes are the great equaliser . They make it easier than ever for people to embrace life on two wheels , maybe drive a little less , and spend more time outdoors . E-bikes let me share my passion with a wider group of people while encouraging a more sustainable lifestyle . Electric conversion kits are becoming increasingly common , and they 're a smart concept . So many of us have a neglected bike collecting dust in a garage or shed . These kits not only give those bikes a second life , they 're a user-friendly entry into e-biking without the cost of buying a whole new setup . So when I was offered the chance to review the Swytch GO conversion kit , I was eager to give it a try . Cycling Weekly testers had previously given high marks to the Swytch Air setup , praising its quick installation and sleek design . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but with the added benefit of a longer battery range . I took on a long-term review to test its user-friendliness , assess how it performed as a daily around-town ride , and determine whether its $654 / ? 499price tag makes it a compelling alternative to an entry-level e-bike . Overall , the Swytch GO+ conversion kit was a positive experience -- but there are a few things I wish I 'd known going in that would have made for a smoother process . ( Image credit : Anne-Marije Rook ) The Swytch GO is an e-bike conversion kit that transforms your existing bicycle into an e-bike by replacing the front wheel with a 250w motor hub and attaching a frame-mounted battery pack to the centre of your bike and , optionally , a display onto your handlebars . A front wheel with a 250w hub motor , providing 40nm of torque and speeds up to 15mph ( in the UK/Europe ) , 20mph in the U.S. A Power @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Weight : 2500g Charge time : 4 hours Pedal sensors An LED handlebar-mounted display Charger Cables , wires , attachments Price : Starts at $525 for the smaller 15-20-mile range , $654 for the 30-40-mile range , and $774 for the 40-60-mile range . ( Image credit : Anne-Marije Rook ) Once you 've installed the kit , power on the battery pack and the display . The moment you start pedaling , the pedal sensor should detect movement and the hub will engage and offer assist . The pedal sensor communicates with the motor controller , which in turn communicates with the hub and the battery pack . It regulates the flow of electricity from the battery to the motor wheel , controlling speed and torque based on rider input from sensors . When you stop pedaling , the hub disengages. Swytch claims that its products " fit almost any bike . " Yet my stable of bikes proved to be the exception . While the Swytch @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with a bolt-on rotor ) , the GO range is not thru-axle compatible . Swytch tells me thru-axle wheels are coming soon -- at least for the MAX+ range -- but in the meantime , this rendered 95% of my bikes incompatible . That left me with a steel Surly Midnight Special and an aluminium Raleigh Rainier single-speed cyclocross bike . The fork on neither bike readily accepted the wheel without modifications ( more on that below ) , and in the end , I opted to fit the kit to my Raleigh . It was n't long before I realised this had been a mistake . The Raleigh Rainier is a fairly light bike , and the addition of the kit quite literally doubled its weight , significantly affecting handling . On my scale , the Swytch motor wheel -- without tube and tyre -- weighed 6.57 pounds . The battery pack , cables and accessories added another 8.4 pounds , bringing the total weight gain to 14.97 pounds ( 6.79 kg ) . With the front wheel outweighing the rear by so much , the bike felt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you 'll likely want to change the gearing . With pedal assist , I found myself spinning out far too quickly with the existing setup . This required a trip to my local bike shop for a larger chainring and a new chain . In retrospect , a heavier , geared bike would have been a better choice than a light single-speed. But by " universal-type bikes , " they specifically mean bikes with a 100mm front axle and 9mm or 10mm dropouts . The website includes a handy compatibility form but the listing is somewhat limited . While my contact at Swytch assured me that one of my bikes would be able to fit the kit , it was n't without some modifications and time investment . Upon receiving the kit , I realised the axle of the motor wheel was too big for the forks on both of my quick-release-equipped bikes . In this scenario , Swytch recommends filing down the axle flats until they fit . So off to the hardware store I went @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ -- taking care not to damage the threads -- then tested the fit , then filed some more . It took quite a while to remove the approximately 1mm of aluminium needed for the axle to fit into the dropouts . I got it to fit in the end , but it was a cumbersome process and , to be honest , it dampened some of the " new bike day " excitement . ( Image credit : Anne-Marije Rook ) Here 's how the website depicts the kit : ( Image credit : Swytch ) Here 's what it looks in real life ( Image credit : Anne-Marije Rook ) On the website , the Swytch GO kit looks sleek , with clean lines that do n't disrupt the bike 's silhouette . In reality , there are wires and zip ties everywhere . The pedal sensor by the crank arm needs to communicate with the motor controller inside the battery pack , which is mounted somewhere in the bike 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and receive signals and power , and finally , the handlebar display must be plugged in for power and data . That means you 're running cables all over the bike . Swytch includes a wire harness to manage all these connections , but they still need to be secured to the frame in some way . And , unless you 're handy with shortening and soldering wires , you are also likely to end up bunching up the excess and zip-tying them to the frame . Or , as I did , stuffing them all into a frame bag in a half-hearted attempt to tidy things up . Call me vain , but I care about my bike 's aesthetics -- and the messy look is a bit off-putting . ( Image credit : Anne-Marije Rook ) The GO power pack attached to the bike frame using a set of strong velcro straps . This allows the user to attach the battery pack wherever it 's convenient -- be it the top tube @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ works well : the velcro straps are secure and the battery does not sway or rattle at all . The pack can also be easily removed for charging or swapped between bikes should you have multiple Swytch-equipped bikes . However , this also means it can be easily stolen . This may be a non-issue if you live in a safe area , have secure bike parking , or do n't intend to use the Swytch system on a commuter bike . But if security is a concern , your best option is to remove the battery and carry it with you . At nearly six pounds , though , it 's not very convenient . If you 're using the Swytch kit for your commute , perhaps the Swytch Air would be a better option . It 's more portable and for many , a 15-to-20 mile range is plenty for a day of commuting . ( Image credit : Anne-Marije Rook ) Once you 're out and riding , most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's genuinely fun to ride . The 250w motor -- while on the lower end of the power scale , delivers smooth , steady assistance . It 's also pleasantly quiet . The steps in between the levels of assistance are gradual , though I admittedly found myself mostly using levels 3 to 5 . It feels like riding with a perpetual and steady tailwind , carrying you to your destination . It 's great for stop-and-go city riding and adds a little joy to otherwise mundane trips . Most of all , it encourages you to get out on your bike more often . In other words , the conversion kit effectively offers the joys and conveniences of a regular e-bike at a smaller price tag . But that brings me to the final question : should you invest in a Swytch Go or just buy an entry-level e-bike ? ( Image credit : Anne-Marije Rook ) The answer truly depends on your needs and priorities . If you already own a compatible bike that you love , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ idea of giving an old frame a new lease on life , the Swytch Go is a compelling and cost-effective introduction to e-biking . The kit reviewed here retails for $654/ ? 499 , not including extras like a new chainring , chain , and installation tools . For a slightly higher investment , in the $1,000 to $1,500 ( ? 755 to ? 1,150 ) range , brands like Lectric , Velotric , Ride1Up , and Aventon offer ready-to-ride e-bikes with the integrated features and conveniences of modern bikes . For example , many of these models come equipped with fenders/mudguards , integrated lighting and cargo carrying capabilities . Also , most of these bikes tend to come with more powerful motors and larger batteries , offering enhanced range and torque . While going this route means acquiring and storing another bike , if your old ride is gathering dust anyway , consider donating it to a local charity or community cycling programme for a second life with someone else . The Swytch GO is a clever solution for the right rider . But as e-bikes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . If you 're looking for everyday utility , convenience , and plug-and-play simplicity , a purpose-built e-bike may be the smarter long-term investment .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'take some of the tedium out of tuning up all those strings' does not involve a causee NP object that participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a general action of reducing tedium, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Whether you 're chasing that rich , choral shimmer for textural layering in the studio or looking to add a little extra dimension to your live sound , there 's no denying their allure . But for many players , a 12-stringcan feel like a luxury on top of your regular six-string acoustic guitar - nice to dabble with , but maybe not essential enough to justify a big-ticket purchase . So when a brand like Martin drops a new ( okay , " remastered " ) model for well under a grand , it 's worth taking note . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mexico and punching in at exactly the same price as its impressive six-string sibling ( the D-X2E ) , the Martin X Series Remastered D-X2E Brazilian 12-String appears to strike that elusive balance between quality craftsmanship and absolutely stonking value . It features a solid spruce top , classic Martin dreadnought body shape , built-in electronics , and even comes with a swish soft-shell case to travel around in . ( Image credit : Future/Olly Curtis ) Build quality rating : ? ? ? ? ? In keeping with the rest of the X Series Martin guitars , the D-X2E Brazilian 12-String utilses both solid wood and High Pressure Laminate ( HPL ) components in an effort to provide a practical balance of tone , durability , and affordability . On top , there 's a lovely solid spruce soundboard , supported underneath by Martin 's signature scalloped X-bracing . This gives a reassuringly robust feel -- particularly important given the added tension that comes from a dozen strings . It has a hand-rubbed satin finish , a single-ring faux abalone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of an austere look , but let 's be generous and call it ' understated elegance ' . ( Image credit : Future/Olly Curtis ) For the back and sides , HPL keeps the price down , providing durability and some aesthetic interest with its detailed Brazilian rosewood-effect patterning . Interestingly , these printed patterns will vary subtly from guitar to guitar , which is a nice touch . That said , the effect on this particular example is giving strong Georgia O'Keeffe vibes , but it 's a pretty good effort from Martin in the realism stakes . The neck -- billed as " select hardwood " -- is likely hewn from Spanish cedar , sapele , or possibly mahogany , though the exact material is less prescriptive , and may vary depending on availability . Sure , the broad-stroke labelling feels a little vague , but the important thing is that Martin is n't cutting corners where it counts . You 're still getting a quality , solid hardwood neck -- and on a 12-string , that will serve you well over time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on a comfortable neck . Too wide and you 'll struggle to get your hand round your favourite chord shapes ; too narrow and you can forget about making clean changes or fingerpicking with finesse . With its Performing Artist neck profile and High-Performance Taper ( 47.5mm at the nut and 58.75mm at the 12th fret ) , along with refined string spacing , beveled fingerboard edges and low factory-set action , it 's clear that a lot of care and consideration has gone into the D-X2E Brazilian 12-String 's comfort credentials . And you can really feel it . ( Image credit : Future/Olly Curtis ) Whereas many 12-string guitars can feel unwieldy and cluttered - like a heavy duty workout for your fretting hand - this one delivers a pleasingly low-effort playing experience . I 'd even dare to call it dreamy . These guitars also go through Martin 's high-tech ' Plek ' process as standard , ensuring smooth , buzz-free playability right out of the box and adding even more baked-in value . Elsewhere , rounded edges soften the feel of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the preamp helps take some of the tedium out of tuning up all those strings without the need to reach for a separate guitar tuner . It 's also undeniably evocative . Whether picked or strummed , it effortlessly conjures nostalgic sounds of the late ' 60s and ' 70s - when 12-string acoustics were at the height of their popularity . Played through an acoustic guitar amp or a PA speaker , the onboard Martin E-1 pickup and preamp system does a great job of reproducing the guitar 's natural qualities . Tucked away inside the soundhole , volume and tone controls provide scope for a little additional sonic sculpting and there 's a phase switch for tackling feedback in live situations . ( Image credit : Future/Olly Curtis ) ( Image credit : Future/Olly Curtis ) There 's no doubt about it , Martin is a prestigious brand . It invented the dreadnought shape and has been turning out great 12-string production models since the mid-1960s . Owning a piece of that legacy is undeniably appealing . Most importantly , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a dream Although the D-X2E Brazilian 12-String deviates from tradition in its use of HPL , and a little more aesthetic detailing would n't go amiss , choices like these help keep costs low , while the overall quality remains high . Most importantly , this guitar sounds just as it should and plays like a dream . MusicRadar verdict : For those on the hunt for a great quality 12-string electro-acoustic that wo n't break the bank , it 's a no-brainer . Even if you can stretch to a higher price tag , the Martin X Series D-X2E Brazilian 12-String is still well worth considering thanks to the playability and overall sound on offer . Guild Westerly Collection D-1212Price $799.99 / ? 599 / ? 689If you 're not fussed about being able to plug in , you 'll find classic chime and vintage flair in this solid-built model from the other heavyweight in the 12-string game .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes an event where Lando Norris crashed out of qualifying, which does not involve a transitive verb with an NP object followed by 'out of' and a VP[-ing] predicate. The phrase 'crashed out of qualifying' does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction as it lacks the necessary components and interpretations (movement/extraction or prevention).

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes lorries coming out of building sites and the industrial estate, which does not involve a causer causing a causee to move or preventing them from an action. The phrase 'coming out of' is used literally to describe physical movement, not in the grammatical construction under discussion.

But the proposals have sparked a swift backlash from locals , who say roads surrounding the site are already heavily congested and can not cope with any more traffic . However , the developer - which also recently built the nearby Pottery Grove housing estate - says a transport assessment indicates the expansion will have a " negligible impact " on local highways . Its plans were submitted on March 31 , and within 16 days had already attracted more than 20 letters of objection , with none in favour . Among them was one from local resident Isobel Rolls , who wrote : " Southwall Road is already at traffic capacity , to the point where our house shakes as a large lorry passes . " This road was not built for heavy traffic . We have cracks in our walls due to oversized vehicles coming down our tiny road . " Wendy Chapman says " heavy traffic " also makes her property shake , adding : " It 's now like living on a main road instead of a backstreet . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ near Deal Business Park Robert George believes it is " self-evident " any expansion will increase traffic on the surrounding roads , causing " considerable inconvenience to local residents and increased risk of accidents and incidents , as well as noise and air pollution " . " As must be well known to Dover District Council , road traffic is a real issue in Deal on the roads in and out of the town , " he added . " Deliberately increasing incoming and outgoing traffic volumes by encouraging further industrial development can only further worsen this existing problem . " Theresa Coward , who lives in nearby Albert Road , told KentOnline traffic in the area often stretches to her own street . " Quinn has done far too much in this area and caused too much traffic , " she said .

" And the top end of Albert Road is quite narrow . There 's no room for two lorries to pass each other . " Other residents have raised concerns about flooding and the potential loss of wildlife on the site proposed to be built on , with Francoise Rolls questioning in her objection : " Why green land ? These fields are peaceful , full of insects , wildlife and ponies going to pasture . " This major development would completely ruin the area and shatter the calm and peaceful atmosphere . " Dan Glover , of the CSG Accident Repair Centre in Southwall Road , is more supportive of the application because of the number of jobs it would create . He told KentOnline : " I believe this could be a good asset for Deal . Dan Glover , of the CSG Accident Repair Centre in Southwall Road , is more supportive of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from here , they do n't always have to go out of town . So I think it should be a good thing . " A spokesman for Quinn Estates says the proposals will help the council position the Dover district as a " key business destination " . " Deal Business Park is an established employment centre and allocated as a key jobs site within Dover District Council 's Local Plan , " he said . " Our proposal provides an opportunity to bring further jobs and investment into the town . " We intend to deliver an extension that will provide a valuable contribution of flexible commercial floor space meeting both current and future local needs . " This is in line with the council 's set goal of achieving 117,290 sqm of employment floorspace across the plan period ( 2024 to 2040 ) and positioning Dover district as a key business destination with first-class facilities for start-ups , scale-ups and flexible working . A map shows the size and location of the proposed expansion to Deal Business Park " The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to deliver across a range of areas from ecology and drainage to road and pedestrian access . " The application is for outline planning permission and includes the introduction of a biodiversity area on the northern portion of the site that will form a new buffer between the business park and the surrounding countryside . Quinn Estates says it will prioritise long-term protection through measures including minimum floor and road levels and a compensatory flow area ; this means creating new areas of flood storage so that overall flood risk is not increased . The scheme also includes 129 parking spaces , in line with guidelines from Kent County Council . Of these , 112 will be for cars and 17 for goods vehicles . Further improved accessibility to and from the site , including pedestrian crossings , is also planned . The spokesman added : " The transport assessment submitted alongside this application demonstrates that the proposed development will have a negligible impact on the local highway network . " |

" This road was not built for heavy traffic . We have cracks in our walls due to oversized vehicles coming down our tiny road . " Wendy Chapman says " heavy traffic " also makes her property shake , adding : " It 's now like living on a main road instead of a backstreet . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ near Deal Business Park Robert George believes it is " self-evident " any expansion will increase traffic on the surrounding roads , causing " considerable inconvenience to local residents and increased risk of accidents and incidents , as well as noise and air pollution " . " As must be well known to Dover District Council , road traffic is a real issue in Deal on the roads in and out of the town , " he added . " Deliberately increasing incoming and outgoing traffic volumes by encouraging further industrial development can only further worsen this existing problem . " Theresa Coward , who lives in nearby Albert Road , told KentOnline traffic in the area often stretches to her own street . " Quinn has done far too much in this area and caused too much traffic , " she said . " You 're looking around like an owl because there 's so much traffic , and there are loads of . schoolchildren around . " Husband and wife Theresa and James Coward live in Albert Road and have concerns @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , James , added : " You 've got large articulated lorries coming out of building sites and the industrial estate , coming into Albert Road . " And the top end of Albert Road is quite narrow . There 's no room for two lorries to pass each other . " Other residents have raised concerns about flooding and the potential loss of wildlife on the site proposed to be built on , with Francoise Rolls questioning in her objection : " Why green land ? These fields are peaceful , full of insects , wildlife and ponies going to pasture . " This major development would completely ruin the area and shatter the calm and peaceful atmosphere . " Dan Glover , of the CSG Accident Repair Centre in Southwall Road , is more supportive of the application because of the number of jobs it would create . He told KentOnline : " I believe this could be a good asset for Deal . Dan Glover , of the CSG Accident Repair Centre in Southwall Road , is more supportive of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from here , they do n't always have to go out of town . So I think it should be a good thing . " A spokesman for Quinn Estates says the proposals will help the council position the Dover district as a " key business destination " . " Deal Business Park is an established employment centre and allocated as a key jobs site within Dover District Council 's Local Plan , " he said . " Our proposal provides an opportunity to bring further jobs and investment into the town . " We intend to deliver an extension that will provide a valuable contribution of flexible commercial floor space meeting both current and future local needs . " This is in line with the council 's set goal of achieving 117,290 sqm of employment floorspace across the plan period ( 2024 to 2040 ) and positioning Dover district as a key business destination with first-class facilities for start-ups , scale-ups and flexible working . A map shows the size and location of the proposed expansion to Deal Business Park " The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to deliver across a range of areas from ecology and drainage to road and pedestrian access . " The application is for outline planning permission and includes the introduction of a biodiversity area on the northern portion of the site that will form a new buffer between the business park and the surrounding countryside . Quinn Estates says it will prioritise long-term protection through measures including minimum floor and road levels and a compensatory flow area ; this means creating new areas of flood storage so that overall flood risk is not increased . The scheme also includes 129 parking spaces , in line with guidelines from Kent County Council . Of these , 112 will be for cars and 17 for goods vehicles . Further improved accessibility to and from the site , including pedestrian crossings , is also planned . The spokesman added : " The transport assessment submitted alongside this application demonstrates that the proposed development will have a negligible impact on the local highway network . " |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it describes serving craft beer out of shipping containers, which is a different use of 'out of' indicating the origin or source, not involving a causee or a VP[-ing] predicate with movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

" The new waterside development is jam-packed with activities , entertainment and world-class food stalls for everyone ... " At first glance , you might assume this glowing description refers to Folkestone 's bustling harbour arm . But no - it 's how the Port of Dover promotes its Marina Curve . Our reporter Ollie Leonard visited the Marina Curve in Dover to see if it could rival it 's trendy neighbour - Folkestone Harbour Arm I was curious to see whether it truly lived up to the hype . It was a sunny Sunday afternoon -- the kind that almost demands you head to the coast for some sea air and good food . With my girlfriend and her two excitable dogs in tow , I set off to Dover to see whether the Marina Curve had become the vibrant destination it was pitched to be - or whether it still sits in the shadow of its trendier coastal cousin just along the shore . And that 's the comparison that kept playing on my mind . Because if you 've @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , you 'll know what I mean . The Marina Curve was eerily quiet during my visit last week It 's alive with energy . From independent bars serving craft beer out of shipping containers , to fresh seafood kiosks and vintage shops - it 's a place where you can easily while away a full afternoon . Has Dover 's Marina Curve , which opened in 2021 as part of the ? 250 million Western Docks Revival project , managed to capture even a sliver of that magic ? First impressions were ... mixed . The walk along the Curve itself is pleasant . The view of the White Cliffs rising in the background , the sight of boats gently bobbing in the marina , and the historic Clock Tower Square all make for a picture-perfect setting . The dogs were thrilled with the open space , sniffing everything in sight and enjoying the peacefulness . The views from the Curve were stunning and left me questioning why it was so quiet We strolled the full length and back , basking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ something really special . " But the real test of a spot like this is what it has to offer -- and this is where things felt a little undercooked . According to the Port of Dover 's website , the Marina Curve is the " ideal location to relax into the warmer weather , and has an amazing collection of food and drink stalls set up in time for the summer season " . But as we wandered around , it was hard not to feel that this was overselling it a tad . Just four establishments were open : Big Pan Foods , Planet Earth Kitchen , Caf ? on the Curve , and The Breakwater Brewery . Just four food and drink establishments were open at the Curve last weekendFolkestone Harbour Arm is jam-packed with visitors on the weekends . Picture : Folkestone Harbour Arm There was a wood-fired pizza unit on site too , but it was closed . Where were the crowds ? Where was the buzz ? Despite the glorious weather , the Curve felt more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ A handful of people wandered by , but there was no sense of occasion , no real reason to linger - unless , like us , you were there to see what all the quiet was about . Still , we made the most of it . The lamb wrap from Big Pan Foods was fresh , flavourful and filling I opted for lunch at Big Pan Foods - a small setup with a limited menu but promising smells wafting from the grill . I went for the lamb wrap , which came with a refreshing watermelon and mint salad . For ? 12.50 , it felt like a fair deal - fresh , flavourful , and definitely filling . Sitting in the sun with that in hand was no hardship . But with nowhere to sit outside Big Pan , I headed next door to The Breakwater Brewery to grab a drink . A cold lager cost a reasonable ? 5.50 . We found a table , stretched out , and took in the view . A pint for under @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The dogs lounged happily at our feet . It was an enjoyable afternoon . But it also begged the question -- why is n't this place full ? Because the Marina Curve does have huge potential . You can see the vision behind it . It 's easy to imagine food festivals , live music , families enjoying street food , and couples sipping cocktails at sunset . And in fairness , that vision is n't dead . Dover is in the midst of a massive transformation . Just four food and drink establishments were open at the Curve last weekend Alongside the ? 250 million Western Docks Revival , new images were revealed last year showing how the waterfront could evolve even further , with open green spaces , striking new office buildings , and modern public areas as part of the so-called Port of Dover 2050 project . In total , almost half a billion pounds is expected to be invested in reviving Dover , with the Marina Curve playing a central role in that rejuvenation . But money @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Curve needs now is a sense of purpose . More traders , more variety , more events . It needs to give people a reason to visit and to keep coming back . Right now , it feels a bit like a stage waiting for a show that has n't started . The dogs thoroughly enjoyed their walk on the Marina Curve The setting is there . The infrastructure is in place . The sun is shining . And yet , it 's quiet . Of course , these things take time . Folkestone 's harbour did n't become what it is now overnight . It took years of investment , creativity and hard work . Dover 's waterfront can get there , too . I do n't doubt that . Because sitting there on a quiet Sunday afternoon , wrap in one hand , pint in the other , with the cliffs behind and calm waters ahead , I could n't help but think : this should be a gem on the Kent coast . |

The sentence 'I have slimmed my way out of having knee surgery' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'slimmed' is used in a metaphorical sense to indicate means (similar to the categories in (2)), and the NP object 'my way' is coreferential with the subject, which is an atypical but acceptable type as described in (6b). The interpretation is prevention (preventing the need for knee surgery), which aligns with the construction's semantic requirements.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. While it includes 'out of', the verb 'costed' does not fit the semantic classes of verbs that typically appear in the V1 slot of the construction, and the NP object 'something they love to do' does not function as a causee participating in an event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate. Additionally, the sentence does not yield a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

HOSPITAL : Part of Worcestershire Royal Hospital falls under the Nunnery Division This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues . It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . WORCESTER goes to the polls on Thursday , May 1 as the latest round of local elections takes place . Candidates across the city are hoping to be elected as the county council representative for one of Worcester 's 10 divisions . Each division elects a single councillor to sit on Worcestershire County Council . Across the county , there are a total of 57 seats up for grabs across 53 divisions . We are profiling all of the Worcester candidates hoping to secure your votes across the city . Former city mayor and current county council vice-chairman Allah Ditta was the winner last time out in Nunnery . The Conservative stalwart won 1,105 votes compared to 960 for Labour 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make-up of the division following boundary changes introduced by the Local Government Boundary Commission . Lark Hill Road is no longer part of Nunnery , instead becoming part of the new Rainbow Hill and Fort Royal division . A number of streets north of Newtown Road now form part of the Nunnery division , including Darwin Avenue , Chalmers Close , Rounds Road , Popert Drive and The Heights . Others such as Leopard Rise and Oakmont Drive now find themselves split between Nunnery and Warndon Villages . Bash Ali - Labour Bash Ali ( Image : Bash Ali ) Since my election as a city councillor for Nunnery Ward , I have worked hard to improve life for local residents . I carry out regular neighbourhood walkabouts and litter picks with residents ; I have helped secure funding for better play equipment and have given full support to local community groups and organisations . I have worked with council officers to tackle rogue landlords and to hold housing associations to account . I work hard to make sure all residents are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Now , I would like to bring that same commitment and work ethic to the county level - fighting for better NHS services , including improved access to dentists and fighting to improve SEND support for children and young people , so local families receive the care they rightfully deserve . I 'll push for a more reliable bus service and well-maintained footpaths to ensure everyone can get around safely . And I 'll get those potholes repaired properly . Dave Aubrey - Reform UK Dave Aubrey ( Image : Dave Aubrey ) I first visited ' The Faithful City ' in the 1980s and moved here soon afterwards . I was lucky enough to get married and raise my family here . My first job here was part of the team replacing the pinnacles and tracery on the Worcester Cathedral .

I have seen many changes since those days , changes to the structure of the city with new roads and buildings and to the facilities of the city , with reduction @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and parks , reduction of public services and transport .

Following this I completed an undergraduate degree and PhD at Cardiff University specialising in geology and climate change . My specialisation has given me a clear understanding of the issues surrounding climate change and is at the heart of my passion for data driven policies that have a positive impact on the environment . I have always been involved in local sport . During my youth I played cricket for Old Elizabethans .

His efforts have brought about considerable changes to the area . This is particularly in respect of the highways situation . After some 40 years , Nunnery Lane has been resurfaced , as have Canterbury Road , Medway Road and Dove Close . Footpaths in Silverdale , Redfern and Prestwich Avenues and Somerville Road , Worcester have been improved as has the walking and cycling route between the schools . Additionally , it is through his working with communities that the yellow lines in Linkview Crescent have been laid to stop vehicles blocking the refuse lorries .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'run out of' in a different context, referring to not having any left of something, which is unrelated to the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes Monaghan running out of attacking ideas, which does not involve a causer causing a causee to move out of or be prevented from an action. The phrase 'running out of' here is used in a different sense, indicating depletion rather than causation or prevention.

Rory Beggan : Not the influence Monaghan had hoped as Donegal did n't foul in the scoring zone . Donegal hammered his kick-outs in the first half but got a better return in the second period . Regularly joined the attack and distribution was good . 6.5 Ryan Wylie : A tough afternoon for the Ballybay man . Michael Murphy took him for a first half score , hit a poor pass to McAnespie that led to a Donegal score . At other times defended well . 6 Ryan O'Toole : The Scotstown man did n't see much ball in the first half but he was so disciplined in his defensive work in the second half , particularly against Oisin Gallen. 7 Dylan Byrne : A Championship debut for the corner-back , Byrne was dogged in his defensive work .

Did a solid job on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coming from other sources . 6.5 Dessie Ward : A brilliant display laced with wonderful leadership and quality .

Full-time stats from 2025 Ulster SFC quarter-final between Monaghan and Donegal . Full-time Monaghan 0-21 Donegal 0-23 . Conor McCarthy : Always a two-pointer threat down the left-hand side -- but Donegal threatened down his side too in the first half . Coughed up a couple of possessions but still an impressive showing . 7 Michael McCarville : The Scotstown man was called ashore before the break . Found Donegal 's running power tough and like most of his team-mates struggled to get a hand on any of Beggan 's first-half kick-outs. 5 Gary Mohan : Bit of a mixed bag for the swashbuckling midfielder . Opened Monaghan 's account but spurned a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ led to Dessie Ward 's super run and score . 6 Stephen O'Hanlon : The Carrickmacross schemer is brilliant in one-v-one situations .

Monaghan rely on Bannigan and the responsibility sits light on his shoulders . 7.5 Ciaran McNulty : Got on a couple of important breaks and is one of Monaghan 's worker-bees . Not a scoring threat though . 6 David Garland : With Monaghan running out of attacking ideas in the first half , somebody had to make way for Jack McCarron. 5 Andrew Woods : On the periphery throughout inside and did n't see many possessions before Monaghan changed it up in the second half . 5 Ryan McAnespie : Isolated on Ciaran Thompson who took him for a two-pointer but made some headway inside Donegal 's arc and was denied by a Shaun Patton save . Grabbed a late score . 6 Subs : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over for Monaghan .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks a clear V1 and NP object, and the phrase 'dropped out of everything' does not fit the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

It 's amazing to think there are many people who still believe the life of a professional rugby player is all glitz and glamour . If only it were a career built on financial certainty , where players are set up for life as those in the top echelons of other sports are . The reality is very different . ? Indeed , the life of a rugby player is one built on blood , sweat and tears that can be taken from you overnight . Former Dragons and Wales U20s backrower Ben Fry is a prime example . Rewind the clock a couple of years and Fry was one of Welsh rugby 's rising stars , a player who never took a backwards step and was in his element when the game was at its most physical . That attitude endeared him to the Rodney Parade faithful , with many tipping the man from Cardiff for higher honours . But in the blink of an eye @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on its head . Article continues below Today , at the age of just 26 , Fry works as an estate agent for a company called CJ Hole in Bristol , with his career as a professional rugby player a thing of the past . It is very much a case of what might have been . " Professional rugby is not a glamorous lifestyle , " he tells WalesOnline . " It is for the 1% but for a lot of people it is a very up and down career without much stability and a lot of unknown . " You are grinding daily and beating yourself up daily but you can get dropped with the click of a finger out of nowhere . People in professional sport have short memories so you can be forgotten about very quickly . ? " It is glamorous at the top , and do n't get me wrong it 's an amazing lifestyle , but it has definitely got its dark side as well . " I often look back and think what if . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and taking what I had for granted . " If I was to do it again now with the brain I have now , would I be slightly more professional in some aspects ? Definitely . ? " Where that could have led God only knows but it is definitely something I look back on with a bit of regret and probably always will . " I 'm an estate agent down in Bristol these days and to be fair I am really enjoying it . The company has been great taking me on because I had absolutely no experience but they have trained me up and I love the job . " I 'm out meeting people and not stuck in an office all day . I 'm selling beautiful houses in Clifton so there 's no complaints there at all . ? " The travelling from Cardiff can be tedious at times but that 's the way it is . I 'm lucky enough to find something I enjoy so I have channelled that drive to be successful into something I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there is that little bit of competitiveness in chasing something . Although it 's not the same as chasing a Wales cap you are still striving for something . " This is when things started getting difficult for every professional player in Wales , especially those who were not senior internationals . It saw the national team threaten to strike as they were extremely close to pulling out of that weekend 's Six Nations clash with England . This is when things went downhill for Fry . " It was an absolute shambles and not nice for anyone , " he said . ? " I felt like I was in some good form and had played well in recent tours of South Africa and in Ireland . I was n't offered a new contract which all happened very suddenly . " The issue with it is lots of great players ended up in bad situations not because of their ability but purely because of how badly the organisation was being run which leaves a sour taste in some people 's mouths . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of us have wanted to do in our lives and for it to be affected by something which was completely out of their control and from mistakes that have gone on over 15 years to ultimately have an effect on you is not a nice thing . ? " For me it was a big shock and I was n't expecting it but then again you had the likes of Sam Davies who is one of the best ten 's I 've seen who was also released at the same time . " In terms of people from the top there definitely was n't enough support and things could have been done in a different way . " With so many players in the same situation you 'd have thought they 'd have gone out of their way to put some support networks in place . ? " Maybe they could have helped us get jobs within the industry because there was absolutely nothing at all . " There were no real coaching courses offered or anything like that . Lots of boys @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but for lots of us it felt like you 'd been dropped out of everything . " " You 'd wake up and it is 40 degrees . Training was absolutely savage , " he said . " You 've got people walking around with guns at their waist . It 's cowboy country . ? " In Fort Worth where I was , it was like living in a Western movie . It 's something I 'll always look back on with fondness . " People carry guns openly and many have one strapped in their belts and it 's the same with knives in Texas . You come from south Wales and you 've never seen a gun in your life but then you walk down a normal high street in Dallas and there 's open carrying going on . " It was certainly a shock and it definitely puts you in your place because you do n't want to be messing around . It was a crazy experience . " ? But if Fry thought he 'd left behind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Travelling around different cities in the MLR is quite an amazing experience but in terms of its stability it was n't the best , " he said . " They ( Dallas Jackals ) went bust a month after we got home from the season finishing . When Dallas went bust there was the opportunity to go into the MLR draft and another team could have picked me up . " But I 've got two young kids and I had already been let go by the Dragons . The situation was either I could go into this MLR draft and be in the same situation in a year 's time with no job and two kids or as much as it pains me just get a real job and look after my family . ? " That was the ultimate decision really . It was n't something I wanted to do but it was something I had to do . " It will always play on my mind but I felt I did n't have any other option at the time . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mind Fry looks back on his professional career with great fondness . ? " I 'd describe my professional rugby career as short , sharp and the best time of my life , " he said . " I 've got some amazing memories and played against some amazing players in some amazing teams . " I was with my best mates every day so I feel very privileged to have been able to do what I did . What stands out are tours of South Africa where I got to challenge myself against the best , especially as a forward who loved the confrontational side of the game . " Going out and playing against Leinster in a packed out stadium was a wow moment . You go from playing on a grass roots pitch and three years later you are in a packed stadium in the middle of Dublin . ? " Those are the ones which stick out the most . I was always quite an outgoing character and quite boisterous . " I liked to play with a lot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ side of things and the recovery side of things . " I probably neglected more intricate details in the background which would have helped me reach that next level . For me , game day was huge and there was no questioning my attitude on game day but as a 22-year-old kid who was doing alright I neglected the background stuff during the week . Given Fry 's love for the game surely he will be back on a rugby field in the near future , even if it is in the community game ? " If I got back playing in the community game I 'm not sure if it would reignite that desire of trying to go back into it full time . ? " I loved it so much and I 'm so competitive at everything so I think playing in the community game would reignite that flame . So , I 've been hesitant to do that . " I told my agent to put a halt on it but if something was to come up , who is to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ go for it . At this point it would have to be close to home with the two little ones . " After travelling around the USA I was under strict orders to come home . Article continues below " That will always be there in me because I feel like I 've still got a lot to give but I 've been out of the game since August so the odds of somebody wanting me is probably not very high . " But if someone was to approach me I 'd definitely be open to having a conversation . " Fry 's story is a stark reminder that behind every big hit and hard-fought match lies a human being navigating the uncertainty of a sport that can give everything and take it all away just as fast .

Mourners at a memorial walk following the murder of 24-year-old Joe O'Brien ( Image : Manchester Evening News ) It was the Easter weekend . Momodou Jallow and Daniel Kamara were out enjoying themselves . A barbecue at Kamara 's house was followed by drinks with friends at Club 409 in Failsworth .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It involves the phrase 'blew out of all proportion', which is an idiomatic expression and does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate or a causee object. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object between the verb 'drop' and 'out of playing Malcom'. Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to be a suggestion or command regarding quitting an activity, which does not align with the defined properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It involves the phrase 'are being taken out of swimming lessons', where 'swimming lessons' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

RETIRED Team GB and Jamaica hero Michael Gunning survived the Manchester Arena bombing - and says the trauma led to him revealing his biggest secret to the world . The 30-year-old swimmer - who competed at two World Championships - said the therapy he received after the horror attack at the Ariana Grande concert in 2017 led to him finally coming to terms with his sexuality . 11 Michael Gunning has spoken to The Sun about his life and careerCredit : David Dyson " It was just a massive relief , " he said of finally coming out on the reality show . " It was a very organic thing . " To be honest , I did n't even really know what the show ( The Bi Life ) was going to be about , apart from dating different people .

" I was already different because I was one of few people of colour in swimming , I did n't want to be further different with my sexuality . " He added : " I guess it 's a journey for everyone and there 's no right time to come out . " Everyone must just be them self and feel comfortable and supported in doing so . " I guess it 's a journey for everyone and there 's no right time to come out . Michael Gunningformer Team GB swimmer He met Tom , who is also openly gay , in 2014 after joining The London Aquatics Performance Programme .

But Michael ultimately pinpoints the guilt he felt after surviving the Arena bombing - which saw 22 people killed , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ piece " in his life and career . " That really put my life into perspective , " he said . " That was a catalyst to me having therapy and speaking to someone for the first time . " I knew that the missing puzzle piece in my career was me being authentically me . So I just decided to come out and just be myself . " Recalling the attack itself , Michael said it was his first concert and he was a " massive fan " of Grande . He and his friend he estimates were little more than 200 metres from the blast . " I think at the end we heard this massive noise and at first I thought there might have been a surprise or someone appeared out of somewhere , " he explained . 11 Gunning reached world championship levelCredit : Getty 11 The swimmer in the garden of his parents ' house in Orpington , KentCredit : Getty 11 Michael after a Men 's 200m Butterfly heat at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ everyone was screaming and running past me . A very traumatic experience . " I just remember running with everyone else . One of the reasons why I went to therapy was because I felt so guilty in not helping others that night . I 'm such a giving person . " That night I just ran with everyone else . " He said returning back to his life afterwards was a struggle , adding : " I went back to training , but there was a mental block there . " Carried out by extremist Salman Adedi with help from his brother Hashem Adbedi , it was the deadliest act of terrorism and the first suicide bombing in the UK since the London bombings on July 7 2005 . The perpetrator detonated a homemade explosive device - containing triacetone triperoxide as well as nuts and bolts - in a backpack in the venue 's foyer . In 2020 his brother was tried and convicted for murder and attempted murder and conspiracy . He was sentenced to life @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ term of 55 years , the longest ever imposed by a British court . A public inquiry in 2021 found that " more should have been done " by cops to prevent the attack . MI5 also admitted it acted " too slowly " in dealing with Salman Adedi . Shortly after the bombing , Michael decided to switch from Team GB to representing Jamaica in an effort to inspire more people from the Caribbean . He would compete in the 200m butterfly and 200m freestyle at the World Aquatics Championships in 2017 and 2019 , as well as the 2019 Pan American Games . He finally hung up his goggles two years ago as arguably the fastest male swimmer in Jamaican history and the only member of the national team who was openly gay . " Most athletes do n't want to go into the spotlight again , " he said . " I think for me I have got that bubbly personality , I have got something to share . " When I decided to retire I knew I would n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aspires to be a TV presenter , and produced a documentary last year on Sky Sports called Beneath the Surface in which he " was able to shine a light on different athletes ' journeys " . Another goal is to increase awareness of water safety , as well as the uptake of swimming lessons , particularly for people of colour . The latest research by Swim England indicates that a significant number of children are being taken out of swimming lessons before they achieve competency . Specifically , over 70% of kids are withdrawn before they master crucial skills like treading water or floating , according to the body 's Love Swimming campaign . Michael said : " I 've been having meetings with Parliament , with Swim England and with the Royal Lifesaving Society . " We 've got another meeting at the end of this month . I did reach out to our local MP Liam Conlon from Beckenham , and obviously I want to meet him and just see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Michael looks at tributes to Izaiah Smith who drowned at Beckenham Place Park earlier this monthCredit : David Dyson 11 Michael reverted to Team Jamaica later in his careerCredit : David Dyson " More swimming lessons , more education in schools , in the community and I think now 's the time . I 'm going to keep pushing until we see that change . " Being a swimmer I 'm probably biased when I say everyone should go swimming . " Everyone deserves to have the access to learn that skill because it can save your life ultimately . " Michael says a big part of the problem is the under funding , particularly in poorer communities , where pools are closing or families simply ca n't afford the lessons . " I used to swim at Crystal Palace and that was such a great pool but it 's a shame so many pools across the UK are closing down , " he explained . " What worries me is it affects the underprivileged communities , the people with disadvantaged families @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their child swimming when they 've got other kids to look after . " In 2023 , he collaborated with Swim England and Speedo , and worked alongside Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty and Paralympic swimmer Ellie Simmonds to travel to different schools for talks and to provide pop up pools . He said : " Lots of young people of colour have said my parents do n't want me to swim because it 's too dangerous , they do n't want me to drown . " But actually , that 's the reason why you should be learning . " Michael was hit hard by the death of 15-year-old Izaiah Smith , who drowned at a lake in Beckenham Place Park earlier this month . Coming from the same area , he said it 's " deeply affected the community " . " I grew up in Beckenham , I went to Beckenham Swimming Club , which is less than five minutes away and had so many incredible years there , I learnt to swim there and kind of went through the pathway , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hear the story , I was walking around the park - I saw the flowers , had no idea what had happened . I just saw people crying and it just really moved me . " Michael also won the Pride Award at the Attitude Pride Awards in 2019 for his efforts to raise LGBTQ+ visibility around the world . He said : " In the LGBT community , especially with everything happening in the US , we are living in very tough times this year . " Lots of people are seeking out help now more than ever .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('Jared Harris ruled himself out of appearing in the upcoming TV adaptation'). It involves a reflexive NP object ('himself') coreferential with the subject, which is an atypical but acceptable type of NP object in the transitive out of -ing construction. The interpretation is a prevention interpretation, where Jared Harris prevented himself from appearing in the TV adaptation. The verb 'ruled' can be seen as a means of exerting control or decision-making, fitting into the semantic classification of verbs that appear in the V1 slot of the construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'ruled themselves out of succeeding' which involves a reflexive pronoun and a gerund, but lacks the causative element and the specific interpretations (movement/extraction or prevention) characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'out of succeeding' here is more about exclusion from a process rather than causing or preventing an action.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'rule themselves out of becoming the next Pope', where 'becoming the next Pope' is a gerund phrase but lacks the necessary transitive verb and object structure typical of the construction. Additionally, it does not clearly convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Pope Francis has died at the age of 88 , a spokesperson for the Vatican has confirmed this morning ( April 21 ) . The first Latin American leader of the Catholic Church passed away at his residence in the Vatican 's Casa Santa Marta on Easter Monday .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'opt out of signing Sancho' involves 'opt out of' followed by a gerund, but there is no NP object between the verb 'opt' and 'out of'.

BRITAIN should never have been locked out of selling arms to European allies . But now that President Trump is putting pressure on Europe to arm itself , rather than rely on the US , the UK 's massive skills in the sector make us even more attractive to countries desperate to boost their forces . So why should the Prime Minister consider selling out our hard-won Brexit rights as part of any deal ? Wiser European heads were shocked when the posturing French leader Emmanuel Macron tried to demand more British fish in return for UK access to the ? 150billion Security Action for Europe Fund , at a time of such grave threat from Russia . Trump vows he wo n't defend ' delinquent ' Nato allies that do n't spend enough on defence as US-Ukraine talks set for Saudi As ever when it comes to Brexit-related negotiations , ministers need to realise that the EU needs what we have . Sir Keir should hold fire until other European leaders force President Macron to see sense . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Additionally, it does not exhibit either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'get out of providing any of their own' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it involve a causer NP subject performing an action to achieve a goal through specific means.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'opt out of' which is a phrasal verb followed by a gerund phrase 'receiving child benefit'. There is no NP object between the verb and 'out of', and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The number of child benefit penalties paid out plummeted by 99 per cent last year , according to new figures shared with This Is Money .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. While it includes 'out of picking', 'picking' is not part of a VP2[-ing] predicate that involves a causee. Instead, 'picking' is part of a noun phrase ('the hassle out of picking'), and the sentence does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The verb 'taken' is used in a different sense here, not as a means to achieve a goal in the context of the construction.

All roads lead to Bilbao in the Europa League , with Manchester United still left with a glimmer of hope regarding the chance to end this wretched campaign on a real high . For a third successive campaign , the Red Devils could round off the season with a notable piece of silverware . Even in the most desperate of times , this team can still pull a rabbit out of the hat . European glory and the ensuing Champions League qualification would certainly be something to cherish , although it should not mask the task ahead for new boss Ruben Amorim , with the Portuguese coach still yet to truly revive this sinking ship . Currently residing in 14th in the Premier League , the Old Trafford side have now scored just once across their last four top-flight outings - a fact that has only heightened the need to bolster the forward line this summer . With the likes of Jadon Sancho , Marcus Rashford and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their respective loan moves , the hope will be that funds will be available to revive this limp attacking unit . According to recent reports , it already looks as if INEOS have settled on their first leading target , ahead of strengthening for next season . With few distractions , outside of Europa League action , the remainder of the campaign should well be used to get ahead on the transfer front . No longer should United be left scrambling around in August or on deadline day . Mega money deals , controversial moves and big-name flops . This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast . Thankfully , the new INEOS regime appear to be keen to avoid that latter scenario , with reports already rife that the Red Devils are progressing with regard to the potential signing of Wolverhampton Wanderers talisman , Matheus Cunha . Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has outlined that United are in pole position for the Brazilian 's signature , with The Athletic 's Laurie Whitwell since adding that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ terms . That comes amid claims from the Daily Mail 's Simon Jones that suggested Amorim and co are even ' inching closer to an agreement ' for the former Atletico Madrid man , albeit with United still needing to activate his ? 62.5m release clause . Jones went on to add that INEOS are keen to get terms agreed by next month , to ensure that ' they still have headroom under Profit and Sustainability Rules ' , with it likely to be the case that the club will need to sell to buy if notable deals are to be made this summer . Having seemingly fended off competition from the likes of Newcastle United , it looks as if United are closing in on the signing of such a leading Premier League talent ... It has been a common theme in the Premier League era - particularly during Sir Alex Ferguson 's glory days - for United to try and raid the rest of the division for the best attacking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Robin van Persie , Dimitar Berbatov and , of course , Eric Cantona . There are certainly shades of the latter two with regard to Cunha , with the ? 90k-per-week star something of a " maverick " and a " flawed genius " , in the words of journalist Nathan Juddah , albeit while combining that with his status as a " match-winner " and a " superstar " . Those are no doubt traits shared by the great Cantona , in particular , with the iconic Frenchman a truly enigmatic and talismanic figure for United , following his arrival from rivals Leeds United on a ? 1.2m deal in November 1992 . The driving force of United 's domestic dominance in the early 90s , ' King Eric ' went on to claim four league titles during his stint in Manchester , while racking up 82 goals in 182 games for the club in total . With his collar up and chest out , the beloved forward strutted his stuff around the Old Trafford turf , combining moments of magic on the pitch , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forget that Kung-Fu kick at Selhurst Park . Cunha , meanwhile , mirrors that knack for going from the sublime to the ridiculous , with 2024/25 alone seeing him memorably score directly from a corner against Amorim 's side on Boxing Day , albeit while since receiving two separate suspensions for off-the-ball altercations . Like Cantona , the one-time RB Leipzig man can be hot-headed , but more importantly , however , he appears to relish his talismanic status at Molineux , having now scored 14 league goals this season , after netting 12 times in 2023/24 . Capable of operating as a centre-forward or off the front - again , like Cantona - the ' maverick ' Brazil international has that ability to switch it on in an instant , as he actually tops the division for most time spent walking on the pitch , excluding goalkeepers . That at-times ' lazy ' quality is something that was shared by the aforementioned Berbatov , albeit with the Bulgarian - who signed from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2008 - subsequently outlining the benefits of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it , but if you are clever in your head , even if you are slow in speed , you can still be quick . You can position yourself better and be even more use to your team . " The silky striker memorably claimed the top-flight Golden Boot as United romped to the title in the 2010/11 campaign , having also possessed that Cantona-esque knack for the spectacular , be it his touchline trickery against West Ham United , or his overhead-kick as part of a treble against Liverpool at Old Trafford . Cunha - who scored from range out of nothing at Anfield back in March - can also conjure up a magic moment in an instant , with the Red Devils needing that ' maverick ' talent to revive this lifeless frontline . Like Cantona and Berbatov before him , the 25-year-old certainly is n't perfect , but he is a showman . It does n't appear that the United jersey would weigh too heavy on him ... |

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('We 've got local families and veterans priced out of housing'). It implies a prevention interpretation where the subject (We) causes the object (local families and veterans) to be prevented from housing due to being priced out. The verb 'priced' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure metaphorically, and the NP object functions as a causee. Thus, it meets the criteria for the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'opt out of' followed by a noun phrase 'receiving child benefit', which does not involve a causee or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'opt out of receiving child benefit', where 'opt out of' is followed by a gerund phrase, but there is no NP object between the verb and 'out of'. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes a man jumping out of a moving vehicle, which does not involve a causer causing a causee to move out of or be prevented from an action denoted by a VP[-ing] predicate. The phrase 'out of moving vehicle' is a prepositional phrase indicating the location from which the man jumped, not a part of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence 'Are fans being priced out of going to games?' follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('fans') + V1 ('being priced') + NP object ('fans' implicitly) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('going to games'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the action of pricing prevents fans from going to games. The verb 'priced' can be classified under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically'. The NP object 'fans' functions as a causee who participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'going to games'. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

" It looked terrible on TV to see so many empty seats , " one X user exclaimed . " Keep pushing this with videos to highlight the outrageous prices these clubs want to charge now .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('I started writing the song to try to figure my way out of feeling bad after an argument'). The NP object 'my way' is a possessive pronoun in the possessive way NP object, coreferential with the subject 'I', which is an atypical but acceptable type of NP object in the transitive out of -ing construction. The sentence also implies a movement/extraction interpretation, where the subject is causing themselves to move out of the state of feeling bad. Therefore, it is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('I') + V1 ('figure') + NP object ('my way') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('feeling bad after an argument'). It also fits the atypical type where the NP object ('my way') is coreferential with the subject ('I'), similar to example (6a). The interpretation is a movement/extraction interpretation, as the subject is causing themselves to move out of the state of feeling bad.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The NP object 'the operational complexity' does not function as a causee, and the sentence does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to describe removing complexity from the process of owning an aircraft, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

4 February 2025 Miranda Lipton Chapul Farms ( Credit : Chapul Farms ) These tiny soldiers can eat four times their own weight in organic waste -- and turn it into sustainable fertiliser . With a unique ability to consume nearly any form of organic matter it comes across , one small but mighty insect is becoming a tool to address the growing problem of organic waste and soil degradation . The bug , black soldier fly larvae ( BSFL ) , transforms food waste into nutrient-rich biofertiliser : frass . Insects have been long been used in agricultural practices as a food source -- but now farmers are exploring the potential of bug poo as a sustainable fertiliser . With over 33% of the world 's soil currently degraded , depleted of the nutrients necessary for healthy plant growth , frass can play a major role in restoring soil biodiversity and quality . In May 2024 , the US Department of Agriculture ( USDA ) awarded grants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's capabilities . This included Chapul Farms , an Oregon-based project development company that 's reweaving insects back into American agriculture to eliminate food waste , restore soil health , and produce high-quality animal feed . Backed by the Fertilizer Production and Expansion Program ( FPEP ) , the bipartisan support of the use of insects in agriculture highlights the growing recognition of BSFL 's potential -- for both waste reduction and for enhancing soil health through the production of high quality domestic fertiliser . BSFL can consume nearly any kind of organic waste , from food scraps to agricultural byproducts . Facilities like Chapul Farms utilise its voracious appetite to process large quantities of waste , with the larvae consuming up to four times their own body waste in organic matter everyday . This happens in a fraction of the time required for traditional composting , which can take up to 10 months . The larvae 's efficiency allows for a rapid turnover of organic material into nutrient-rich excrement -- or frass . " They can reproduce pretty quickly too , " says Shankar Ganapathi Shanmugam @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ soil sciences at Mississippi State University . " And it BSFL grows on dead and decaying material , which means that it can survive on waste . " Shanmugam is spearheading research on the use of frass as a crop nutrient , which until now has not been studied in the US -- though it has been studied in other parts of the world , notably in multiple countries across Europe . This is because insect farming operations create a controlled environment for the bugs to thrive . The frass created from them provides essential nutrients to plants and fosters a more biodiverse soil , which encourages the growth of native plant and insect species , thus supporting the overall ecosystem . " We could make compost out of anything but the impact of running it through this insect biology has all of these positive implications , " says Mimi Casteel , an Oregon wine farmer who has been using Chapul 's frass . " It 's exciting for so many reasons : it 's a portable , pretty low cost investment compared to some other things @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ massive problems with waste , and soldier flies are replacing a missing layer of diversity . " Chapul has worked with local vineyards , researchers and farms to research , educate and promote frass benefits and adoption in the bioregion . TAINABLE , a local soil restoration non-profit , provides laboratory space and farmland to Chapul for their research . " Finding a use for this is important , but if you 're going to market frass as a fertiliser , you need to regulate it , which takes time , " says Shanmugam . " And to make these regulations you need research . " The US National Organic Program does not include insects as an acceptable additive as of now . This makes it a challenge to share this technique with farmers who use organic practices , though teams like Chapul Farms are in conversations with regulators to increase education around it and usher in its inclusion . Unlike chemical fertilisers , which often deplete soil over time , frass promotes biodiversity within the soil by introducing a diverse microbial community . This boosts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to retain water , and reduces the need for costly synthetic inputs . In sharp contrast , synthetics can wreck soil biodiversity , beneficial bacteria and the soil 's natural micro-ecosystem , leaving it dependent on increasingly expensive inputs . They also have intensive fossil-fuel requirements , and reduce soil 's carbon carrying capacity . " We recently saw even more of a push for our government to get projects funded that support domestic fertiliser production , " says Aly Moore , chief communications officer of Chapul Farms . " We realise how many health issues are caused by the reduced nutrient density in crops , and all the pesticides used . And on the cost factor , farmers will not only need less fertiliser over time , but also fewer pesticides . " The microbes in frass proliferate over time , rebuilding soil health This can all contribute to cost savings and be more incentive for farmers , especially at a time when fertiliser prices are sky high and supply is unreliable . Prices more than doubled between 2021 and 2022 . With the US being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the brunt of this impact ; making it not just a fertiliser issue , but also one of food security . " In the two years leading up to 2023 , there was an 8% reduction in global fertiliser consumption , because people were priced out of the market , " says Michael Place , chief technology officer at Chapul Farms . " There were supply disruptions and even unavailability . And FPEP emerged from this sort of emergency . " Soil microbes present an exciting frontier for regenerating soil health , yet less than 1% of total microbes in soil have been cultivated . Frass provides an opportunity to pivot from the reductionist methods of treating soils that perpetuated the soil crisis in the first place , all while bolstering food and agricultural security . Farmers will eventually need less frass to maintain the same levels of soil productivity , as the microbes in frass proliferate over time , rebuilding soil health and resiliency by improving biodiversity . Farmers who have begun using frass in their fields are already reporting promising results . Casteel is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of frass on her crops . While the statistical outcome of the study is still in progress , she has already witnessed perceptible changes . " Anecdotally , what I can tell you is that in the trials that I 've done both with grapevines and in my vegetable farm , the produce itself comes up faster , it has better cellular structure , " says Casteel . " So if you actually cut the leaf and put it under the microscope , the cells grow more densely and they have figure lipid membranes . And what that means is that the plant from day one has more structural integrity , " she says . The FPEP funds will support construction and equipment for BSFL facilities located in Oregon and North Dakota . The projects anticipate yielding 10,000 tons of frass per location per year and will generate 59 new jobs , upon its opening which is expected to be in 2026 . One of the greatest challenges facing the nascent insect agriculture industry is the tunnel vision around insects for protein production which has overshadowed the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ BSFL is a lucrative and fast-growing market , frass remains an underutilised resource in insect agriculture . Getty Images It is early days , but some farmers across the world are starting to see the benefits of using BSLF frass as fertiliser ( Credit : Getty Images ) " I think farmers have historically been convinced that insects are problems , and they just do n't want to talk about adding more problems to their situation , " says Casteel . " But when our farms become more complex , you start to see an exponential rollout of ecological returns . " In addition , insects are keystone species , meaning entire ecosystems would drastically change or collapse without them -- and our world would " grind to a halt " , as the biologist Dave Goulson wrote in the Guardian newspaper . " Ultimately , at its core , we can not survive without insects , " says Pat Crowley , CEO of Chapul Farms . " Natural ecosystems can not flourish ... without the insects as a part of them . And that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as simple as : insects will solve the biggest trends in global agricultural health . And at the same time , I think it 's one of the biggest levers that we have in making agriculture a more resilient , ecosystem-based model . " |

12 hours ago Holly Williams Alamy Tragedy Titus Andronicus is the Bard 's goriest work , and a new production is set to be one of the most extreme takes on it yet . It raises the question : why do we watch such brutality ? Good theatre has the power to really move us -- a statement that 's usually taken metaphorically , rather than literally . Yet when it comes to Shakespeare 's bloodiest play , Titus Andronicus , its impact can be so visceral it causes audience members to faint . I should know : while reviewing a production at Shakespeare 's Globe in London , back in 2014 , its disturbingly violent scenes caused me to start to feel light-headed , even while safely sat down in my seat . Unfortunately , it was a bench with no back : before the end of the first half , I had fainted away completely , falling backwards and waking up in a stranger 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ descriptions of violence And I was far from the only person to have such a full-bodied response to Lucy Bailey 's production of this gory revenge tragedy : the press went wild for stories of " droppers " , with more than 100 people fainting during the run -- testament to the immense power of Shakespeare 's writing , and the skill of performers , as well as to the props department 's handling of litres of fake blood . Simon Annand Stephen Boxer as Titus in a 2013 Royal Shakespeare Company production of Titus -- most versions feature copious blood ( Credit : Simon Annand ) One of the Bard 's earliest plays , written in 1591-2 , and almost certainly his first tragedy , Titus Andronicus is a story of violent vengeance : Titus , a general of Rome , returns from wars against the Goths with their queen , Tamora , and her sons held as captives . When her eldest son is sacrificed by Titus , Tamora swears revenge -- setting in motion a series of increasingly brutal acts that ends with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 14 deaths , it is the most violent of all Shakespeare 's plays -- and now it 's back on stage , with a new production opening at the UK 's Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon . The play 's unavoidable ultra-violence has meant that , for much of the performance history of Shakespeare -- whose birthday is today -- Titus Andronicus was considered a bit of an embarrassment , a bloody stain on his reputation : too gruesome , too over-the-top , to be considered in the same category of greatness as , say , Hamlet or Othello . Then there 's its sometimes queasy tone : the excesses can tip Titus into a gleefully macabre , manic comedy ( an aspect also embraced in Bailey 's gore-fest ) . Let 's just say , the Victorians were not fans . But the play 's reputation began to revive in the second half of the 20th Century . At the Royal Shakespeare Company alone , there have been several seminal productions in the past 70 years , starring Laurence Olivier ( 1955 ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1987 ) and David Bradley ( 2003 ) , while Anthony Hopkins playing Titus on screen in Julie Taymor 's influential , blackly funny film version in 1999 also surely helped boost the play 's standing . Some of these productions leaned heavily on the horror , too : there were fainters and walk-outs in Deborah Warner 's unflinching 1987 production , which Cox once claimed was the most interesting play he 'd done and the best stage performance he 'd ever given . But he also pointed to the odd humour of the play , calling it " a young man 's play ... full of energy , joie de vivre and laughter that often strikes people as ludicrous " . One moment , you 're thinking ' what is the meaning of tragedy in relation to human nature ? ' -- and then very quickly you get into ' how many mops can the crew hold to clean up the gore ? ' -- Max Webster Titus is not always staged with grisly literalness : in the Olivier-starring production by Peter Brook , the mutilation of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ streamers -- an aestheticised approach also used in the Japanese Ninagawa Company 's production in the 2000s . More recently , Jude Christian 's all-female 2023 production in London 's candle-lit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse enacted the violence on candles themselves , with cast members stabbing , snapping or snuffing them . In the latest production of Titus Andronicus , however , there will be blood . Buckets of it . " We are doing gallons of blood . We 've made a sort of wet room on stage , it 's got a drainage system and an abattoir hook ... " says Max Webster , the play 's director , over a video call from Stratford-upon-Avon . He 's had to figure out how to stage no fewer than 27 different acts of onstage violence , from punches through to limbs being lopped off and tongues being cut out . And the only limit on the amount of gore sloshing around is the practical question of how to clean it up between scenes . " It 's an unbelievably boring thing about how many crew members and squeegees it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , you 're thinking ' what is the meaning of tragedy in relation to human nature ? ' -- and then very quickly you get into ' how many mops can the crew hold ? ' . " Webster , whose acclaimed productions include an adaptation of Booker Prize winner Life of Pi and a recent David Tennant-starring Macbeth , wanted to direct Titus Andronicus for one simple reason : Simon Russell Beale , one of Britain 's greatest Shakespearean actors , asked him to . Titus was a part that Russell Beale fancied a crack at , and the RSC was happy to oblige . This version is updated -- set in a crisp , besuited modern world riven by conflict , although where exactly is kept deliberately vague . " It 's trying to be open -- we 're not setting it in Kosovo or Gaza or Sudan , " says Webster , adding swiftly " And we 're not going to try to produce the US army onstage or something -- it 's trying to make sense of Rome as a ' superpower of empire @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' . " Still , he sees Titus as freshly , troublingly relevant , in light of shocking events such as the 7 October Hamas attacks , the war in Gaza , and the sudden invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine , the story 's extreme violence does n't seem so unimaginable . In this production , the violence is certainly no laughing matter . In rehearsals , they have been playing it entirely seriously , and eschewing the blackly cartoonish or stylishly Tarantino-esque approach to the violence that some directors explore . This has risks : Webster fully expects that , when the show is in front of an audience , there may be some nervous laughter ; it 'll be their job in previews to figure out where these laughs form a necessary " pressure release valve " , and where they 're really just a sign to make the show even more harrowing . For Webster , it is n't possible to laugh at the brutality of Titus Andronicus in 2025 -- it 's too real . He sees the play as " a howl @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ witness , an attempt to face up to atrocities taking place right now -- something that he acknowledges could be hard for an audience .

12 hours ago Holly Williams Alamy Tragedy Titus Andronicus is the Bard 's goriest work , and a new production is set to be one of the most extreme takes on it yet . It raises the question : why do we watch such brutality ? Good theatre has the power to really move us -- a statement that 's usually taken metaphorically , rather than literally . Yet when it comes to Shakespeare 's bloodiest play , Titus Andronicus , its impact can be so visceral it causes audience members to faint . I should know : while reviewing a production at Shakespeare 's Globe in London , back in 2014 , its disturbingly violent scenes caused me to start to feel light-headed , even while safely sat down in my seat . Unfortunately , it was a bench with no back : before the end of the first half , I had fainted away completely , falling backwards and waking up in a stranger 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ descriptions of violence And I was far from the only person to have such a full-bodied response to Lucy Bailey 's production of this gory revenge tragedy : the press went wild for stories of " droppers " , with more than 100 people fainting during the run -- testament to the immense power of Shakespeare 's writing , and the skill of performers , as well as to the props department 's handling of litres of fake blood . Simon Annand Stephen Boxer as Titus in a 2013 Royal Shakespeare Company production of Titus -- most versions feature copious blood ( Credit : Simon Annand ) One of the Bard 's earliest plays , written in 1591-2 , and almost certainly his first tragedy , Titus Andronicus is a story of violent vengeance : Titus , a general of Rome , returns from wars against the Goths with their queen , Tamora , and her sons held as captives . When her eldest son is sacrificed by Titus , Tamora swears revenge -- setting in motion a series of increasingly brutal acts that ends with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 14 deaths , it is the most violent of all Shakespeare 's plays -- and now it 's back on stage , with a new production opening at the UK 's Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon . The play 's unavoidable ultra-violence has meant that , for much of the performance history of Shakespeare -- whose birthday is today -- Titus Andronicus was considered a bit of an embarrassment , a bloody stain on his reputation : too gruesome , too over-the-top , to be considered in the same category of greatness as , say , Hamlet or Othello . Then there 's its sometimes queasy tone : the excesses can tip Titus into a gleefully macabre , manic comedy ( an aspect also embraced in Bailey 's gore-fest ) . Let 's just say , the Victorians were not fans . But the play 's reputation began to revive in the second half of the 20th Century . At the Royal Shakespeare Company alone , there have been several seminal productions in the past 70 years , starring Laurence Olivier ( 1955 ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1987 ) and David Bradley ( 2003 ) , while Anthony Hopkins playing Titus on screen in Julie Taymor 's influential , blackly funny film version in 1999 also surely helped boost the play 's standing . Some of these productions leaned heavily on the horror , too : there were fainters and walk-outs in Deborah Warner 's unflinching 1987 production , which Cox once claimed was the most interesting play he 'd done and the best stage performance he 'd ever given . But he also pointed to the odd humour of the play , calling it " a young man 's play ... full of energy , joie de vivre and laughter that often strikes people as ludicrous " . One moment , you 're thinking ' what is the meaning of tragedy in relation to human nature ? ' -- and then very quickly you get into ' how many mops can the crew hold to clean up the gore ? ' -- Max Webster Titus is not always staged with grisly literalness : in the Olivier-starring production by Peter Brook , the mutilation of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ streamers -- an aestheticised approach also used in the Japanese Ninagawa Company 's production in the 2000s . More recently , Jude Christian 's all-female 2023 production in London 's candle-lit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse enacted the violence on candles themselves , with cast members stabbing , snapping or snuffing them . In the latest production of Titus Andronicus , however , there will be blood . Buckets of it . " We are doing gallons of blood . We 've made a sort of wet room on stage , it 's got a drainage system and an abattoir hook ... " says Max Webster , the play 's director , over a video call from Stratford-upon-Avon . He 's had to figure out how to stage no fewer than 27 different acts of onstage violence , from punches through to limbs being lopped off and tongues being cut out . And the only limit on the amount of gore sloshing around is the practical question of how to clean it up between scenes . " It 's an unbelievably boring thing about how many crew members and squeegees it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , you 're thinking ' what is the meaning of tragedy in relation to human nature ? ' -- and then very quickly you get into ' how many mops can the crew hold ? ' . " Webster , whose acclaimed productions include an adaptation of Booker Prize winner Life of Pi and a recent David Tennant-starring Macbeth , wanted to direct Titus Andronicus for one simple reason : Simon Russell Beale , one of Britain 's greatest Shakespearean actors , asked him to . Titus was a part that Russell Beale fancied a crack at , and the RSC was happy to oblige . This version is updated -- set in a crisp , besuited modern world riven by conflict , although where exactly is kept deliberately vague . " It 's trying to be open -- we 're not setting it in Kosovo or Gaza or Sudan , " says Webster , adding swiftly " And we 're not going to try to produce the US army onstage or something -- it 's trying to make sense of Rome as a ' superpower of empire @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' . " Still , he sees Titus as freshly , troublingly relevant , in light of shocking events such as the 7 October Hamas attacks , the war in Gaza , and the sudden invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine , the story 's extreme violence does n't seem so unimaginable . In this production , the violence is certainly no laughing matter . In rehearsals , they have been playing it entirely seriously , and eschewing the blackly cartoonish or stylishly Tarantino-esque approach to the violence that some directors explore . This has risks : Webster fully expects that , when the show is in front of an audience , there may be some nervous laughter ; it 'll be their job in previews to figure out where these laughs form a necessary " pressure release valve " , and where they 're really just a sign to make the show even more harrowing . For Webster , it is n't possible to laugh at the brutality of Titus Andronicus in 2025 -- it 's too real . He sees the play as " a howl @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ witness , an attempt to face up to atrocities taking place right now -- something that he acknowledges could be hard for an audience . " I can walk down the Avon river , and know my family is safe and it does n't feel like the world is burning . But you look at other parts of the world ... these horrors , that maybe feel historical to us , are actually happening . " But Titus Andronicus is n't a documentary ; it 's an old play , that people choose to stage and choose to pay to go to see .

" Some people think we are a relic of the past , " admits Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason , staring equably into the cameras . The comical thing is that Mason is all of 28 years old at the time , in the prime of youth and vigour , but actually does look like a relic . His huge mound of long curly hair and proud handlebar moustache date the film almost as much as the incessant smoking of keyboard player Rick Wright . The year is 1972 , commemorated by the Roman numerals MCMLXXII for this lovingly restored concert documentary Pink Floyd at Pompeii . The rock quartet are at the apex of their psychedelic phase but have yet to go globally imperial with the release the following year of Dark Side of the Moon -- of which the film offers tantalising glances . Director Adrian Maben came up with the unusual idea of having the band perform their epic experimental set of interstellar rock to the empty stands of a crumbling amphitheatre in Pompeii , with no audience but a shirtless film crew baking in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was viewed as a slightly pretentious art movie , an impression compounded by shots of the band walking around the slopes of Mount Vesuvius and staring into bubbling pools of lava whilst David Gilmour 's distorted slide guitar echoes around the stark volcanic landscape . Fifty-three years on it looks utterly magnificent , a glorious record of a group at the height of their powers that will delight every old rocker and should be required viewing for every aspiring young musician . Through a lens of hindsight , the setting suggests not so much antiquity as timelessness and classicism , implying Pink Floyd deserve to be viewed outside of rock history as part of a much greater span of creation . There is something about the lack of audience that invests the performance with singular intensity -- art being made on the spot , for its own sake , not to pander to popular opinion . Progressive rock maestro Steven Wilson has remixed the music for 5.1 surround sound , which is perhaps the greatest joy of the restoration , because it sounds so all-encompassing , vividly alive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ young , as a shirtless , long-haired Gilmour fiddles with his effects unit and produces sounds from his instrument that shift across a dazzling spectrum , from ethereal weirdness to delicate melodiousness and grinding attack . His future nemesis Roger Waters wears a slim black vest and grips his bass guitar with taut , muscular arms , picking out mobile and at times almost funky grooves amidst tumbling expanses of sound . The future curmudgeon certainly looks like he 's enjoying himself . Rick Wright smokes quietly in the background and effortlessly conjures warm vistas of piano , organ and synthesiser that float between all the spaces in the songs . When he joins Gilmour in tight vocal harmony on Echoes , that 's when you really hear the gorgeous signature sound of Pink Floyd . The star of the film , though , is not the Adonis-like Gilmour , and certainly not the enthusiastically gurning Waters . It is Nick Mason , arms flying around his drum kit in incessant action , head swivelling to connect with his band members , his jazzy , groovy , loose @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ holding the band 's flights of fancy together . The man certainly loves his cymbals , which shimmer and tingle even in the quietest moments . Roger Waters with his gong Credit : Sony Music It struck me how little you hear cymbals in modern music , relegated to a percussive effect by the metronomic logic of drum machines and digital programming . The flamboyantly experimental Saucerful of Secrets remains utterly astonishing , all the more so when you see these four young men conjuring it out of nothing . Discussing their " reliance " on technology , David Gilmour stares into the camera with amused disdain . " The equipment is n't thinking about what to do . It could n't control itself , " he says . Now music is entering an era when the equipment can control itself , when AI threatens to eradicate all human invention and spontaneity from musical creation . This amazing movie shows us what the cost of that might be , because a group like Pink Floyd would find it hard to exist and certainly could not thrive in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ action is interspersed with scenes filmed in Abbey Road during the recording of Dark Side of the Moon , which offer extraordinary glimpses of glories to come , particularly Waters fiddling with a now vintage synthesiser until the burbling sequence of On the Run miraculously emerges , with Waters glancing up to ask if someone is getting this . Wright sits in a cloud of blue cigarette smoke , fingers floating across piano keys like a jazz maestro on Us and Them . These scenes were apparently staged for the cameras rather than representing the actual recording sessions , yet they nevertheless afford intriguing insights into fractures that will ultimately destroy this tight unit . Playing a solo to Brain Damage , Gilmour pulls a sour face when Waters continually interrupts from the control room , complaining about feedback . " Do n't worry about that , " grumbles Gilmour . " What would rock'n'roll be without feedback ? " " We have some pretty good arguments from time to time , " Gilmour admits , with an innocent smile , oblivious to the bitterness and acrimony that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ film 's premiere at the BFI Imax London and could be seen laughing at this restored vision of their younger selves . At 79 , Gilmour has the craggy stolidity of the Vesuvian landscape . At 81 , Mason looks less like a rock star than a retired investment banker . But both are still making exciting music and still going about it with an old-fashioned dedication to technical craft . The setting for Pink Floyd at Pompeii Wright has been dead for almost seventeen years . The absent Waters , meanwhile , soldiers on as a controversial touring superstar , reshaping Pink Floyd 's legacy from the later sequences of albums dominated by his songwriting , whilst indulging a nasty public feud with Gilmour . At Pompeii dials back to a time before all of that and very potently reminds us why we cared about Pink Floyd in the first place . It does n't quite match the fly-on-the-wall intimacy of the Beatles 's Get Back documentary series but it is glorious to see and hear this incredible band in their youthful prime , lean and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ musician should be made to watch this and then pack away their AI tools and learn the joy of hands-on creation . Bring back the cymbal ! Pink Floyd at Pompeii -- MCMLXXII will be released in select cinemas and Imax worldwide from April 24 . The live album will be released for the first time in a new remix by Steven Wilson from May 2 in all formats |

Twenty five years ago , the biggest film in the UK was a puerile comedy about two spotty teenage losers who jet off to Ibiza to become famous DJs and lose their virginities . Kevin & Perry Go Large made two million pounds at the box-office over Easter weekend in 2000 ; its theme song Big Girl ( All I Wan na Do Is Do It ! ) reached Number 16 in the UK Top 40 . But how exactly did a film as filthy , and as unapologetically low-class , win over the tightly-buttoned British public ? The year in which it was released had a lot to do with it : the new millennium represented a fresh dawn for Britain where everyone was richer , fitter and more fun ; alcohol was cheap and nights out were plentiful , and you could still light up a cigarette indoors without being slapped with a hefty fine . Homegrown TV and film was jam-packed of original , outrageous comedy from talented young writers . Harry Enfield , who first created the characters of Kevin and Perry ( played @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Enfield & Chums , took inspiration from his own messy , angst-ridden , music-obsessed adolescence to shape them . " It was slightly autobiographical -- about every little boy , really , " Enfield tells me . " I got the idea originally -- about six years before Kevin & Perry -- while I was in a relationship with Lily Allen 's mum Alison Owen . Her eldest daughter Sarah , Lily 's elder sister , was quite a difficult teenager , and so I wrote the characters to make her laugh . They behaved like she and her friends did . " Kevin & Perry Go Large took a month to film on a shoestring budget , with the entire cast and crew dispatched to the quieter , north corner of Ibiza to keep them away from the hard-partying centre of San Antonio . The plan was only fitfully successful . " There was quite a bit of partying , " says Enfield , now 63 . " And we ran out of money very quickly . " Money intended for props and equipment -- already @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ eventually leading to one pivotal joke taking a very different turn . If you 've seen Kevin & Perry , chances are your abiding memory will be of the giant , stinking poo , ominously floating in the Mediterranean Sea towards Kevin 's gormless open mouth . Dreamed up by Enfield 's co-writer Dave Cummings ( Ed Bye directed the movie ) , the scene was meant to take place on a boat , with our unlucky-in-love protagonist finally granted the opportunity to get laid after saving Gemma 's ( Tabitha Wady ) life when she falls overboard . But fate -- well , the measly budget , and the drugs -- intervened . Enfield jokes that some money set aside to hire the boat was spent on heroin by other crew members . " So we had to get a bit of lighting board polystyrene , paint it brown , pop it on a piece of line and make it into a poo . It was a bit cheaper than hiring the boat , " he says . They even resorted to picking up actors off the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ day , Burke was wandering around Ibiza when she bumped into EastEnders ' Steve McFadden ( who plays Phil Mitchell ) and asked if he 'd like to make a cameo . One small problem : they could n't pay him , but would he be up for it in exchange for a single bacon roll ? Of course he would . He then turned up in the film as a brawly club bouncer . James Fleet and Harry Enfield in Kevin and Perry Go Large It 's not just Kevin and Perry themselves who make the film hilarious . Every parent can empathise with Kevin 's long-suffering mum and dad ( played by a perpetually furious James Fleet and Louisa Rix ) . Kevin bans them from listening to Wonderwall ( " You 're not supposed to know Oasis even exist ! " ) , throws a tantrum when they cough up the cash to take him and Perry to the White Isle on a free holiday , and almost vomits when he catches them having sex . But for all Kevin 's shouting and moaning , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's simply the every-teenager , the misery at the dinner table who wholeheartedly believes no one has ever had a harder life than him . The film , too -- for all its focus on house music , drugs and sex -- is at its core a platonic love story , a portrait of an ordinary teenage friendship . When the two boys fall out , and Kevin shouts " You are not my friend and you are not my fellow DJ ! " ( still the most quotable clapback in film , in my humble opinion ) at Perry 's sad , shell-shocked face , you almost feel choked up . Because however silly the film is , we 've all shared some of its experiences . Kathy Burke and Harry Enfield as Kevin and Perry Credit : Alamy Based partly on his own teenage years , Enfield says Kevin 's difficult , abrasive personality was meant to represent the " terrible time of about two years for boys when you just think you 're going to be a virgin for the rest of your life @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your brain , which is half girls , half music . " Without Kevin & Perry , we arguably would n't have The Inbetweeners , Channel 4 's hit sitcom about four unpopular Surrey schoolboys , starring Simon Bird and Joe Thomas , which ran from 2008-10 . After taking his son to the premiere of the show 's spin-off film in 2011 -- set , like Kevin & Perry Go Large , on a lads-on-tour holiday -- Enfield asked how it compared to Kevin & Perry . " And he said , " Enfield chuckles , " Well , to be honest Dad , Kevin & Perry did n't make me laugh at all , and this is one of the funniest films I 've ever seen . " Like The Inbetweeners , which was unsuccessfully rebooted for US audiences in 2012 , Kevin & Perry failed to find success across the Pond . It became quickly apparent after Icon , the film 's production company , sold it to US distributors that Kevin & Perry was never going to be a hit in the States -- @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they burnt the cinema down , they hated it so much . " Why ? Firstly , they did n't know the characters like Enfield 's existing UK fanbase did ; secondly , the US had their own ( shinier ) version in American Pie , released a year prior , which centred on a geeky protagonist ( in Jason Biggs 's Jim Levenstein , forever remembered as the movie character who makes love to a warm apple pie ) but also starred some of the Nineties ' most attractive young stars : Seann William Scott , Tara Reid , Shannon Elizabeth . In comparison , gangly , ginger Kevin and squat , docile Perry ( a boy played by a girl , no less ) were simply too unattractive for Americans to get behind . " They were ugly compared to American teen characters , where everyone 's gorgeous , " Enfield explains . " One of the boys was played by a girl , and the other one was played by a 34-year-old . Then , both of the girls Candice and Gemma , played by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " For British films to make money in America , he suggests , directors need to make a " nice Richard Curtis film where everyone 's beautiful " . Much of the film centres around Kevin and Perry 's efforts to impress superstar DJ Eye Ball Paul , so memorably portrayed by Rhys Ifans . If you put every negative stereotype about international party-boys in a blender -- sex-obsessed , nasty , sly , selfish -- you would n't even come close to emulating Eye Ball Paul 's villainy . He 's as famous for pouring vodka in his eyeballs as he is for playing dreadful techno at Amnesia ; but Kevin and Perry do n't care . To Kevin 's parents ' chagrin , they spend their entire holiday carrying around his bags and cleaning his gross holiday home , dreaming -- in vain -- that he 'll give them their big break . Instead , he just broadcasts Kevin 's parents ' homemade porn film on the club 's big screen . But , Enfield laughs , teenagers never care about the moral failings of their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . We 'd go to gigs and meet people like Eye Ball Paul ; we 'd hang around backstage and sometimes they were lovely , sometimes they were horrible . But even when they were horrible , we thought they were great .

Despite straight-edged Gen Z 's apparent disdain for boozing and bonking , there are more than 60 million videos dedicated to Kevin & Perry 's ridiculous exploits on TikTok . With the renewed interest , would Enfield ever bring Kevin and Perry back ? " No , no , I 'm too old now . A few years after the film I thought about doing a Harry Potter version , where Kevin goes to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was the end of that . " What would Kevin & Perry Go to Hogwarts have looked like ? Spotty Kevin in his wizarding robes , having swapped the decks for a broomstick and ecstasy for Polyjuice Potion -- it certainly sounds more fun than Daniel Radcliffe moping about for 20 hours .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. While it includes 'out of' followed by an -ing form ('switching'), the NP object ('the hassle') does not function as a causee, and there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a service that removes hassle for customers, which does not align with the defined properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Sky has launched a surprise spring sale , reviving a popular offer that slashes the price of a TV and broadband bundle to its ' lowest ever ' . Sky 's Essential TV and Full Fibre 300 broadband package is now ? 35 per month and comes with 300Mbps fibre broadband for the price of 150Mbps . Usually , Sky 's Full Fibre 300 would cost you ? 29 per month without any TV access . However , this bundle also includes more than 100 channels , such as Sky Atlantic -- the home of The Last of Us and The White Lotus -- and major free-to-air channels like BBC , ITV , Channel 4 and many more . The combined TV and broadband bundle also includes free subscriptions to Netflix and Discovery+ , with the option to add Sky Cinema and Sky Sports to the package for an extra ? 10 and ? 20 respectively . Customers could also upgrade to Sky 's new Ultimate TV plan , which offers more than 40 additional channels -- including Sky Showcase , Sky Crime , Sky Documentaries and Sky Comedy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ All of these services are accessible via Sky Stream , the brand 's latest device that delivers TV and streaming services through WiFi instead of a traditional satellite dish . Sky has recently launched the new One Touch Switch scheme , meaning customers do n't have to contact their existing broadband provider to make the switch , reports the Mirror . Sky is taking the hassle out of switching for customers by contacting their current provider on their behalf . It 's important to note that Sky 's TV and broadband packages are tied to a 24-month plan , with the company stating that prices ' may change ' during this period . Earlier this month , Sky upped its TV and broadband prices by 6.2% , so we may expect a similar increase in April 2026 . Notably , Sky stands out as one of the few providers that allow customers to exit their contracts early if a price rise is announced . Many Sky customers have been praising the company on Trustpilot , where one five-star review says : " Sky Stream is a game changer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ best decision I 've ever made . Installation takes care of itself , the remote even auto tunes itself to the TV . The best part is though the ability to have a single charge for all your streaming subscriptions . " Another says : " I 've been with lots of companies to get my TV and internet but the best service I have received out of them all is Sky . We did change to other companies because of the price but always go back to Sky . " However , not everyone had a positive experience , with one less-satisfied customer saying : " I was n't happy with the service provided by Sky , phoned up to change my deal and was passed around like a parcel . Eventually I got to speak to someone who knew what they were doing . I am happy my issue was finally resolved but took a lot of work .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes mice running out of skirting boards and leaving droppings, which does not involve a causer causing a causee to move or preventing them from doing something through a specific means. The context is about the presence and actions of mice, not the grammatical construction in question.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('enabling 200S Boost locks you out of changing most of the CPU's settings'). It has a prevention interpretation, where the action of enabling 200S Boost prevents the user from changing CPU settings. The verb 'locks' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure. The NP object 'you' is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'changing most of the CPU's settings'.

Yesterday , we reported on Intel 's new BIOS feature for Core Ultra 200S motherboards , called 200S Boost , whereby the simple click of a BIOS option will overclock certain parts of the Arrow Lake processor . It 's mostly just lifts the die-to-die ( D2D ) and uncore ( NGU ) clocks from their default 2.1 GHz values to a hefty 3.2 GHz apiece . But having now tested 200S Boost in a handful of games , I suspect that there 's a little more going on behind the scenes , or at the very least , there is in the MSI motherboard that I used . To be honest , it does n't really matter what 's being altered , as the results I garnered make one thing very clear : You should be using the 200S Boost mode . Period . I picked six games ( technically five games and one game benchmark ) and recorded the average and 1% low frame rates over a five minute gaming session for each one . To get a sense of the gains offered by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's previous A50 BIOS for the motherboard , repeated for its new A57 BIOS , and then again with the boost mode activated . First up is one of my favourite games for hardware testing , Cyberpunk 2077 . Normally , I play this with path tracing enabled , along with DLSS upscaling and frame generation , but I lowered the quality settings down to RT Ultra and disabled DLSS . The tested area of the game was the Jig Jig street location in Japantown , as it 's chock-full of NPCs and details to load up the CPU . As you can see , the A57 BIOS and 200S Boost mode did n't do anything for the average frame rate ( it actually lowered very slightly for the latter ) , but it does wonders for the 1% lows . However , it 's clear that the new BIOS itself is responsible for the majority of the gains , rather than the higher D2D and NGU clocks . I 'd take a small reduction in average frame rate for a 22% increase in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ although once you crank up the resolution above 1080p , those gains vanish as Cyberpunk 2077 becomes entirely GPU-limited .

This problem did n't occur in CP2077 , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . It was the worst in BG3 , and you can see this by how much of a hit the 1% low frame rates incur . Fortunately , enabling 200S Boost mode removes the stutter entirely and gives the average frame rate a respectable 8% uplift . The Last of Us Part 2 is a bit like Cyberpunk 2077 , in that the game hits the P-cores of the Arrow Lake processor pretty hard . However , it also utilises the E-cores a lot more , so after seeing some decent improvements in CP2077 and BG3 , I was hopeful of seeing the same in TLOU2 . I did n't expect it to be this much better , though . MSI 's A57 BIOS , in stock settings , causes a bad stutter in this game , though the above performance figures do n't reflect this . That 's because it 's less frequent than in Baldur 's Gate 3 , but you really do n't want to game with it . Once more , the 200S Boost mode removes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ improvements . Compared to the A50 BIOS , the average fps is 13% better , and the 1% lows are an incredible 33% higher . And it 's not just at 1080p that one enjoys these uplifts , as TLOU2 runs a ridiculous 26% faster on average at 4K , with the lows being 43% better . That 's simply absurd , and I spent several hours retesting the game to confirm the figures . Alas , not every game benefits from the 200S Boost mode , and Avowed is one such example . The A57 BIOS without the boost has that nasty stutter , with a frequency somewhere between that seen in BG3 and TLOU2 , and it absolutely ruins the 1% low frame rate . The boost mode solves that , of course , but you do n't really see any gains as such . That 1% low uplift at 1440p is hard to explain ( it was checked to ensure it was consistent ) , as there 's no sign of it at 1080p . Avowed 's performance is somewhat inconsistent at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Intel 's new boost mode could n't help here . Just as with Avowed , Assassin 's Creed Shadows did n't gain anything from using the 200S Boost mode , but neither did it incur any losses with the A57 at stock settings . I got a single stutter , once , during the 1080p run , and I never experienced it at 1440p and 4K . Activating the boost does improve the overall smoothness of the game , though , even if you 're not getting any more frames per second . At 1080p , AC Shadow feels snappy and utterly lag-free with 200S Boost , which is a plus no matter which way you look at it . Our Factorio benchmark does n't run the full game , just the primary code without any rendering taking place .

( Image credit : Future ) While I 've only tested one Arrow Lake CPU in one Arrow Lake motherboard , I 'm going to go out on a limb here and just say the obvious thing : If you have an Intel Core Ultra 200S gaming rig , then you should absolutely upgrade the motherboard 's BIOS and enable the boost mode .

For the A50 and A57 stock tests , I used MSI 's Performance power profile , which sets the PL1/PL2 limits to 250/295 W , respectively , and the max core current to 400 A. Intel 's 200S Boost mode forces the chip to use the default power profile ( PL1 , PL2 = 250 W , current limit = 347 A ) , but due to the significantly higher D2D/NGU clocks , the chip will use more energy in gaming . In Cyberpunk 2077 , I recorded an average CPU package power usage of 156 W , more than 30% higher than with the A50 BIOS , though the other games only used between 5% and 9% more power .

It 's possible you could achieve the same outcome , without using Intel 's boost mode , by just overclocking the D2D and NGU clocks yourself , but I suspect there are more tweaks going on to make it all work as stably as possible , and some of those might not be accessible in the BIOS . It 's also worth noting that enabling 200S Boost locks you out of changing most of the CPU 's settings in the MSI BIOS and that might be the case for all vendors .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'take the hassle out of moving to a new provider' involves 'moving' as part of a noun phrase modified by 'the hassle out of', not as a VP[-ing] predicate with a causee object. Additionally, there is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Thousands have joined Nationwide , Lloyds and NatWest over the last year , as more than 1 million bank account switches have taken place ( Image : Mike Egerton/PA Wire ) This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues . It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . It 's estimated that around one million people have switched their current account in the past year , according to a service set up to take the hassle out of moving to a new provider .

In a new interview with NME , frontman Adebimpe has reflected on the possibility of the band heading back into the studio for a follow-up to their last full-length release , 2014 's ' Seeds ' . Tunde Adebimpe . CREDIT : Xaviera Simmons Describing the 2024 comeback shows as " ecstatic " and " some of the best shows we 've ever played " , he said that after so much time apart , " I realised that what I missed was doing this thing with people I love very much . You get to whip up this thing that 's bigger than all of you and conjure up something out of nothing and share that with people .

The sentence 'opt out of getting payments and not pay the tax charge' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Here, 'you' (implied subject) + 'opt' (V1) + 'out of getting payments' (VP2[-ing]) with 'getting payments' as the -ing form. It also induces a prevention interpretation, where opting out prevents the subject from receiving payments. The verb 'opt' can be categorized under 'By means of enticing, flattering, or verbal persuasion' as it involves making a choice. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'opt out of' which is a phrasal verb followed by a gerund, not fitting the transitive out of -ing construction as defined. There is no NP object between the verb and 'out of', and the interpretation does not align with either movement/extraction or prevention.

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

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'take the hassle out of moving to a new provider' involves an NP ('the hassle') as a complement of the complex preposition 'out of', and 'moving' modifies the following head noun 'provider'. This does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, nor does it involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

With energy debt at a record high and household bills continuing to rise , some are resorting to illegal methods to keep the lights on , according to a new study . Energy theft - tampering with your meter so it does n't record your usage - is on the rise . But experts warn that this so-called " DIY discount " can come at a serious cost . New research shows a round 250,000 households a year could be stealing energy without being caught , anonymous tip-offs have risen by nearly two-thirds over the past four years and energy theft costs the UK ? 1.5 billion a year , adding an extra ? 50 to the average household 's annual bill . Fiona Peake , Consumer Money Expert at Ocean Finance , said : " When people feel backed into a corner , it 's easy to see why they might be tempted by shortcuts . But tampering with your meter is n't a clever hack . It 's a dangerous , illegal move that could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to a five-year prison sentence , be forced to pay back the cost of any stolen energy , and cover repairs that could run into thousands . On top of that , there 's a serious risk of fire , explosion , or electrocution . " " It 's time to face up to the scale of the problem , but without blaming people for struggling . No one should be risking their family 's safety to keep the lights on . The reality is that millions of people in the UK are finding it hard to keep up with bills , and support is n't always easy to access or even well-publicised . " 1 . Talk to your supplier : " If you 're falling behind , your supplier might be able to put you on a repayment plan , give you emergency credit if you 're on a prepay meter , or connect you with support schemes . It 's not always obvious , but help is available , and you wo n't get it if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what you 're entitled to : " Schemes like the Warm Home Discount ( ? 150 off ) or Winter Fuel Payment could save you hundreds , but many people do n't claim them , either because they do n't know they 're eligible or the process seems confusing . Your local council may also have grants available if you 're on a low income . " 3 . Use tech to track your usage : " If you 've got a smart meter or use an energy tracking app , you can spot patterns in your usage . Dropping your thermostat by just 1 ? C could save you around ? 100 a year , and swapping out inefficient appliances makes a real difference over time . " 4 . Use low-cost hacks to keep the heat in : " Thermal curtains , draught excluders and radiator reflectors are simple to install and do n't cost much , but they can stop a lot of heat escaping . These are especially useful if you rent and ca n't make bigger changes . " 5 . Switch @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up at the shop , it might be worth checking if you 're eligible to switch to Direct Debit instead .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'a migrant being pulled out of hiding' involves a passive construction with 'pulled out of hiding', but it lacks the necessary components (V1 and NP object) and does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the transitive out of -ing construction.

More drastically , March 's numbers reflected a 95 percent decrease in illegal migrant encounters at the Southwest border since March of last year . There is no recent data regarding how many people have been apprehended specifically from the Laredo section . But in March 2021 , the last time CBP shared data by sector , 2,045 unaccompanied children , 1,507 families and 50,109 single adults crossed through the Laredo Sector .

' It is unclear what happened to the migrants ( pictured ) after the US Border Patrol agents detained them In March , USBP reportedly detained 7,181 illegal aliens across various points of entry of the US-Mexico border . This averaged to roughly 673 interactions each day ( pictured : men being detained at the US-Mexico border ) Within the first 50 days of being in office , Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) arrested 32,809 illegal immigrants - nearly half of which were convicted criminals - according to the DHS .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('locks you out of spending your Virtues on any other'). It also induces a prevention interpretation, where the action prevents the NP object ('you') from performing the action described by the VP2[-ing] predicate ('spending your Virtues on any other'). The verb 'locks' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure, and the NP object 'you' functions as a causee. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The phrase 'gets a kick out of assisting other players' involves the verb 'get' with an NP object 'a kick', but it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, nor does the NP object function as a causee. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It mentions 'Josh Maja has n't been ruled out of making a surprise appearance', which involves 'ruled out of' followed by a gerund, but lacks the necessary NP object and does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to be about not excluding the possibility of an event, which is different from the construction's defined interpretations.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'made a living out of committing crime' involves the verb 'made' with 'a living' as its object, followed by 'out of committing crime', which does not involve a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

A DAD operated his own ' sophisticated ' drugs racket in Barrow for over four years in which thousands of controlled Class C drugs were sold to users on a commercial scale , a court has heard . Benjamin Hardie escaped an immediate prison sentence when he appeared at Preston Crown Court on April 23 after the Crown Prosecution Service took two-and-a-half years to bring the case to court . Opening the case , Hanifa Patel , prosecuting , said police executed a search warrant at the defendant 's home address on Newport Street in Barrow on November 3 , 2022 .

A mobile phone was also found in the chimney breast of the property which showed evidence of Hardie 's drug dealing enterprise between September 5 , 2018 , and the day of the raid , the court heard . " He was importing them from abroad and had a sophisticated setup on a commercial scale selling directly to users , " Ms Patel said .

" There has been a considerable delay in this case . It is no fault of his own . His partner was pregnant at the time , and they now have a two-year-old daughter .

Responding to a petition calling for the Tour to be made a ' Category A ' sporting event in the UK , the government said it " recognises concerns " but noted that broadcasting rights are " ultimately a commercial decision " The UK government has admitted that it " recognises concerns " raised in recent months about the impending loss of free-to-air television coverage of the Tour de France , but says it currently has " no plans " to intervene to protect the race under British broadcasting law . Instead , the government noted that all decisions related to TV coverage of sporting events are ultimately based on commercial interests , and that the current list of free-to-air sporting events " strikes the right balance between encouraging access to a number of sporting events and maximising broadcasting income " . The Department for Culture , Media , and Sport was responding to a petition launched at the start of April by cycling YouTuber Peter Treadway , urging the government to reclassify the Tour de France as a ' Category A ' sporting event , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Grand National , meaning live coverage of the race must be made available on free-to-air channels in the UK . The rights deal , which will run until at least 2030 , will mean that the Tour de France will not be freely available in the UK for the first time since the 1980s , when Channel 4 began broadcasting its now iconic evening highlights programmes . The loss of the Tour de France on free-to-air TV from 2026 , Treadway argued in his petition , will worsen the already declining fortunes of Britain 's domestic road racing scene , as well as reducing cycling 's visibility and participation levels , harming its ability to increase the nation 's physical and mental health , tackle congestion , and lower emissions . The petition has attracted over 14,000 signatures so far , surpassing the 10,000 mark requiring the government to issue a formal response . That response , issued on Thursday , however saw the Department for Culture , Media , and Sport admit that it has " no plans " to review its current list @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ says strikes an " appropriate balance " , while pointing out that adding the Tour to that category would not guarantee its continued presence on free-to-air television . However , the department 's response has been criticised by the creator of the petition , Peter Treadway , who says he read it with " my head in my hands " and argued that it fails to " grapple the real problem , which is that the biggest annual sporting event in the world is vanishing behind a paywall in the UK , which many ca n't afford " . According to Treadway , the failure to provide free-to-air coverage of the Tour de France could lead to aspiring British cyclists -- from similar backgrounds as 2012 Tour winner Bradley Wiggins -- shut out of the very spectacle that " could spark their passion " . In its response to Treadway 's petition reaching 10,000 signatures , the department acknowledged the power of television coverage to inspire the next generation , but noted that a balancing act @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ such as British Cycling . 2024 Tour de France peloton ( ASO/Billy Ceusters ) ( credit : road.cc ) " The government recognises concerns raised about losing free-to-air coverage of the Tour de France , " the response began . " Ensuring live cycling can be enjoyed by a wide-reaching audience is important to growing the sport and inspiring the next generation of cyclists . Professional cycling , in particular the Tour de France , captivates fans with its exciting races and inspires people across the country to get on their bikes every weekend . " That said , broadcasting rights also provide essential income for sporting National Governing Bodies ( NGBs ) and event organisers , including British Cycling , which enables them to invest in better facilities for participants and spectators , improve elite performance , hire the best coaches , and keep up with mounting competition . " NGBs , including British Cycling , need to consider the trade-offs between visibility , access to live cycling events and maximising broadcasting revenue . It is important to get the balance right , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " Turning its attention to the issue of broadcasting rights for the Tour , and Treadway 's call for the race to be listed as a ' Category A ' sporting event alongside the FA Cup final and Grand National , the government said : " All UK broadcasters are operationally and editorially independent of the government . " Therefore , decisions relating to coverage of particular sporting events -- including the Tour de France -- are ultimately a commercial decision for the relevant broadcaster and/or the rights holder of the specific sporting event . " The current listed events regime is designed to ensure that sporting events of national significance are available to as wide an audience as possible , by prohibiting exclusive broadcasting of the event without prior consent from Ofcom . The Broadcasting Act 1996 gives the Secretary of State for DCMS the power to draw up a list of sporting events of ' national interest ' . " The department continued by noting that categorising an event in the A grouping means that " full live coverage must be offered to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ while B events " can have live coverage on subscription television , provided that secondary coverage is offered to the free-to-air broadcasters " . " It is important to point out that listing the Tour de France as a ' group A ' event would not guarantee that it will be broadcast live , or on a free-to-air channel , " the government said . " Rightsholders are not required to sell live rights for listed events and free-to-air broadcasters are not obliged to purchase them . " The government believes that the current list of events works well and that it strikes an appropriate balance between encouraging access to a number of sporting events and allowing sports to maximise broadcasting revenue . " The government has no plans to review the list at this time . However , developments continue to be monitored . " Cycling 's transfer to TNT Sports at the end of February now means that fans have to pay ? 30.99 a month to watch the sport , a subscription package 343 per cent more expensive than the previous ? 6.99 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " an abuse of monopoly " and " exploitation " . 2024 Tour de France peloton ( ASO/Charly Lopez ) ( credit : road.cc ) Nevertheless , despite the increasing financial barriers to watching bike racing in the UK , the government insisted in its response to Treadway 's petition that it will " continue to encourage and support the growth of cycling and the rest of the sector into the future " . " As part of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic cycle , UK Sport have committed long term investment of over ? 38 million of Exchequer and National Lottery Funding for British Cycling , " the department said . " This is an uplift of under ? 1 million from the previous cycle . This will go towards supporting all aspects of the Great Britain Cycling Team , including equipment development and competition costs across road , track , mountain bike and BMX . " Sport England provides up to ? 26.6 million for five years to invest in community cycling initiatives . This funding allows British Cycling to invest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ extend their work in England 's diverse communities to get people active . " Turning to active travel infrastructure and schemes , the department continued : " On 12 February , the government announced the details of almost ? 300 million of funding for local authorities for active travel in 2024/5 and 2025/6 , to provide high-quality and easily accessible active travel schemes across England . " This will enable an additional 30 million journeys on foot and by bike every year , including more than 20 million new walk-to-school journeys by children and their parents . Investment in active travel helps to revitalise high streets , improve air quality and support people to live longer , healthier lives . " The government is also committed to the positive impacts of hosting major cycling events .

" However , speaking to road.cc , Treadway criticised the government 's inaction , which he believes -- instead of inspiring girls and boys to ride and race bikes -- will " shut them out " of the sport . " I read it with my head in my hands ! " Treadway told road.cc about the government 's response to his petition . " On the surface , it 's very polite and there 's lots of talk of millions spent on Olympic cycling , community schemes , and active-travel grants , but it does n't grapple with the real problem , which is that the biggest annual sporting event in the world is vanishing behind a paywall in the UK , which many ca n't afford . " The government begins by ' recognising concerns ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ promise to act . It feels like a ' there , there ' pat on the head rather than a solution . " Yes , broadcasting deals bring in money for British Cycling , we 're told , but how much of that extra ? 24 a month actually trickles down to local clubs , coaching , or bike paths ? In fact , TNT Sports is owned by Warner Bros . Discovery , a US company , so subscription fees flow overseas to ASO ( the race organiser ) and then only indirectly filter back via the UCI 's grant programmes . " There 's no contractual obligation for TNT or ASO to invest UK subscription revenue into British Cycling , so the ' trickle-down ' argument is more hopeful conjecture than guarantee . " He continued : " Then they shrug , saying it 's up to the sport 's governing bodies to balance visibility against revenue . At the same time , they insist broadcasters are editorially independent , and so government ca n't intervene . " But when one company holds exclusive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' becomes meaningless . There 's no visibility , no competition , and no choice for the public . " Referring to the department 's claim that Category A events are n't guaranteed free-to-air coverage in any case , Treadway asked : " If the system ca n't deliver on its own goals then , why keep it ? " " There 's also a rollcall of cash too . ? 38 million here , ? 26.6 million there , nearly ? 300 million for active travel , but none of it is tied to keeping the Tour or any other major cycling monument on free TV . If inspiring young riders matters , some of that funding should hinge on public access to events . Otherwise , it 's just noise , " he told road.cc . " Finally , they say they 'll ' monitor ' the situation but have no plans to review the rules . That 's code for ' we wo n't change anything unless forced ' . We need clear triggers , like subscription-price caps or viewership drops , that automatically @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If the government truly cares about growing cycling and active travel , they must guarantee free-to-air coverage of the Tour de France , or at least insist on full highlights on terrestrial TV . Anything less leaves aspiring cyclists , many of them kids , shut out of the very spectacle that could spark their passion . " One of our greatest cycling talents , Sir Bradley Wiggins , grew up in a single parent home , on a council estate in North London . It 's questionable whether his family could have afforded such exorbitant subscriptions for him to watch his sporting heroes , who no doubt inspired him to cycling greatness . " Youngsters from a similar background to his will now find themselves locked out of watching their favourite sporting events . " All in all , this response is a classic ' do n't look here , look over there ' from the government , so I would urge people to continue to support the petition by sharing it far and wide , to show just how much ill feeling there is around @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We 've noticed you 're using an ad blocker .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'locked out of watching their favourite sporting events' involves a passive construction with 'locked out of' followed by a gerund phrase, but there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it describes players being ruled out of featuring in games due to injury, which does not involve a causer causing a causee to move out of or be prevented from an action. The phrase 'ruled out of featuring' is more about exclusion from participation rather than the specific grammatical construction in question.

Huddersfield Town defenders Mickel Miller , Ruben Roosken and Radinio Balker have all been ruled out of featuring in the final two games of the campaign due to injury . The trio all sustained setbacks in the Good Friday defeat to Cambridge United , and were subsequently unavailable for the loss at Stockport County on Easter Monday . Interim boss Jon Worthington has confirmed that the three defenders will play no further part for Town this term . He said : " All three are out for the rest of the season . Mickel and Ruben are hamstring injuries , and Radinio is an ankle injury . " The interim head coach also said that the Terriers had a few injury doubts for the trip to Exeter City tomorrow afternoon , but did n't reveal who those players were . Providing a squad update , Worthington said : " No-one to welcome back . A couple of concerns at the minute , but we 'll wait and see where we get to for Saturday . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ taken out of his hands , but I think making that decision is always a difficult one regardless , when it comes to an end , so ultimately just wish Chris all the best . " The reason why he 's had such a good career is because he 's an excellent professional , the way he carries himself around the training ground , that 's why you have longevity and you have a career like he 's had . I ca n't speak highly enough of him . " Fellow Town goalkeeper Lee Nicholls added on his teammate : " I think it 's not an easy decision to make , but the thing is with Chris , he 's worked really hard while he 's been playing football , and put himself in the position where he 's got other goals now for after football , and it 's something I think he 'll really succeed in . " He 's someone over the past few years that I 've turned to for opinions at times , and he 's been someone that has been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ top professional , and I wish him all the best in the next bit of his career .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'break out of overthinking' where 'break' is an intransitive verb and 'overthinking' is a gerund acting as the object of the preposition 'out of'. There is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

In an age where happiness often feels like an impossibly fleeting state or a reward for achieving success , science -- and ancient wisdom -- offers a powerful alternative : happiness as a skillset . According to decades of psychological research , happiness is n't just about luck or personality ; it is something you can actively cultivate through habits , mindsets and everyday actions . While genetics and circumstance undoubtedly play a role , it is also something you can learn , strengthen and practice , much like cooking or riding a bike . Sceptics might scoff at this notion . For starters , one might rightly point out we can not expect ourselves to be Pollyanna characters who are happy all the time . So-called " toxic positivity " is certainly a hindrance , not a help , when it comes to happiness levels . But this is n't about trying to dispel all negative emotion ; rather , it is about working towards what researchers and psychologists call " subjective wellbeing " -- long-term contentment and overall life satisfaction . While @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , positive psychology pioneer Dr Martin Seligman breaks it into three key parts : pleasure ( enjoying the moment ) , engagement ( being absorbed in what you do ) and meaning ( living for something bigger than yourself ) . It is these , he says , which foster authentic happiness . And they do n't arise by accident . Rather than being fully tethered to circumstances long-term , authentic happiness is built through adopting practices which help you strengthen it . From gratitude and connection to authenticity and play , happiness depends on how we train our brains , shape our routines and chart life 's ups and downs . Research shows those who practice mindfulness are consistently happier . " Mindfulness , or learning to be more present in the moment , has been scientifically proven to generate neurological changes in the brain that can combat anxiety and depression , improve emotional wellbeing and create a sense of being more grounded and focused , " says Cavallo .

" So , try to do something that makes you feel more present each day -- but if you miss a day , do n't berate yourself ; just start again where you left off . " Humans are hard-wired with a " negativity bias " : that is , we experience , look for and dwell on the negative far more than the positive .

And if this all sounds complicated , it gets worse , because there was a considerable amount of overlap involved . In 2021 , Zilis gave birth to twins with Elon within @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ surrogate . Just a few weeks after St. Clair revealed she and Elon had a five-month-old son together , Zilis announced that she had also given birth once more . So convoluted is the situation that , according to the WSJ , Musk employs a fixer , Jared Birchall , to oversee and manage his " harem drama " . What Jerry Springer madness is this ? Perhaps Elon is just hyper-fertile ? The kind of man who can get the furniture pregnant just by sitting on it . But given the fact a great number of these children were allegedly conceived using IVF and surrogates , that does n't seem to be the case . This is all very deliberate . And Musk clearly wants even more . While Ashley St. Clair was pregnant with his 13th , he suggested bringing even more women into the arrangement to gestate and birth their children in order to " reach legion-level before the apocalypse " . The expose is very revealing but , in my opinion , rather falls short when it comes to potential motivation . What @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claimed that civilisation is under threat because of declining birth rates . For example , tweeting ( or X'ing ) , " Doing my best to help the underpopulation crisis . A collapsing birth rate is the biggest danger civilisation faces by far , " after the birth of his twins . Personally , I 'm not buying it . If Musk was really serious about turning the tide on declining birth rates , as the richest man in the world , he could do a great deal more than impregnating women he meets on social media . He could fund longer parental leave , invest in affordable housing for families , or just give people the money they need to raise children . As it stands , when Musk took over Twitter , he slashed parental leave for his staff , a move he was forced to partly reverse following a public outcry . No , it seems possible that Elon Musk has a breeding kink , and the money to indulge it . I do n't think this is about saving the world ; I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " What is a breeding kink " -- or to give it its proper name , " enkuopoiphilia " -- I hear you cry . Well , simply put , it is sexual arousal caused by the idea of becoming , or as ( I assume ) in Musk 's case , getting someone else pregnant . Despite the prevalence of breeding kink communities across the internet , there is n't much in the way of academic research to try and pin down what is going on . However , online forums offer a plethora of information . The reasons people find the idea of getting someone pregnant sexy seem to vary considerably , from finding a pregnant body attractive , to enjoying the risky nature of unprotected sex , to a more dominant/submissive dynamic where the thrill is impregnating someone and potentially " controlling " them . However , for most people , a breeding kink does n't go any further than a bit of role play and pretending they are getting someone pregnant . Most devotees do n't really want to get people pregnant . It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have been a number of deeply disturbing cases where men have gone much further than that . For example , in 2014 , it came to light that Donald Cline , an Indianapolis fertility doctor , had used his own sperm to inseminate at least 94 women without their consent over the course of several decades . In 2024 , Netflix premiered The Man with 1000 Kids , a documentary about Jonathan Jacob Meijer , a Dutch sperm donor who is accused of breaching donation protocol and fathering hundreds of children . Of course , Elon Musk has not been doing anything as nefarious as inseminating women against their will . As far as we know , everyone involved was more than willing . But according to the WSJ , Musk uses his wealth to buy women 's silence about their children , with some women slapped with a non-disclosure agreement . Which all seems rather odd if he is truly doing this for some great philanthropic mission to save humanity . So too do the ( alleged ) text messages Musk sent to Ashley St. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ child , " I want to knock you up again " , and later , " Well , we do have a legion of kids to make . " Are these really the words of a great humanitarian , or are they the words of someone who gets a thrill out of impregnating women he can potentially buy off and control ? One of my live-by mantras is " do n't yuk someone 's yum , " but even I have to draw the line when it comes to this kind of chicanery . I think what enrages me most , other than not having been propositioned myself ( obviously ) , is the hypocrisy . Musk seems to be hiding his desires behind a supposed mission to save the planet . Musk is quite clearly no friend to aspiring parents . He seems to view women as little more than wombs for hire and an expensive means to fulfil a rankly narcissistic agenda -- filling the world with a " legion " of his own offspring . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes a lineage and racing history without involving a causer and causee relationship or a movement/prevention interpretation. The phrase 'raced out of' here is used in a different context, referring to the origin or lineage of the foal, not the transitive out of -ing construction.

Goliath is put through his paces at Sha Tin ahead of Sunday 's big raceCredit : HKJC There is quite a contrast in the current ownership of Goliath , who makes his reappearance for 2025 in Sunday 's FWD QEII Cup in Hong Kong . This will be the third race in which Francis Graffard 's gelding will represent the Resolute Racing banner of John Stewart , the big-spending American whose social media presence and bold ideas have seen him pitching as one of the sport 's reformers . According to France Galop , Resolute owns 75 per cent of Goliath with the remaining quarter still belonging to Baron Philip von Ullmann , scion of the dynasty at Germany 's oldest stud farm , Gestut Schlenderhan , which was founded in 1869 . Von Ullmann , who has travelled over to Hong Kong to watch the brilliant winner of last summer 's King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes and pulled out stall nine at the barrier draw , explained that the Schlenderhan association with this particular individual is almost as abiding . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we 're not doing everything wrong , which is nice , " he said . " We bred the sire and that line goes back to 1915 and on the dam 's side we 've also bred since six generations . It 's always nice to see that every generation or every couple of generations some really good horses are coming out and to be able to run in these races around the world and against the best horses in the world , that 's the reason why we do it . " Goliath is a son of Adlerflug , the top-class son of In The Wings whose premature death in 2021 continues to look so regrettable for the industry , with promising winners still emerging from his final crop . It is a family that traces back through Schlenderhan-bred Allegretta , ancestress of Galileo through Urban Sea , and includes Asterblute , who won the German Derby and Oaks in 1949 . Goliath is the first foal to have raced out of Listed-winning Shamardal mare Gouache , and is a great-grandson of the Italian Oaks winner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's father Georg in the 2002 Hong Kong Vase , was a Monsun sister to the family 's fine ambassador Getaway , the Group 1 winner and leading National Hunt stallion . Goliath , being a gelding , has no breeding value but Schlenderhan has a three-year-old sister called Go Flying , who was third for Peter Schiergen on her debut at the end of October . His four-year-old sister by Cloth Of Stars , Galaxy , is a winner for Sascha Smrczek in Germany , and there is a two-year-old filly by Magna Grecia who has been named Grande Merci . Von Ullmann , no doubt encouraged by such details , is enjoying seeing how Goliath progresses in his ambitious campaign . Sunday 's race will be his first appearance since finishing sixth in a competitive Japan Cup behind the likes of Do Deuce and Shin Emperor . " Japan was a great race , sadly the race did n't go to the 100 per cent we expected it to be but being able to run here , go to Japan , run back in Europe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it 's something you can do without any problems with a five-year-old gelding , " he added . Christophe Soumillon looks around as Goliath wins the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth StakesCredit : Edward Whitaker " If he were a colt then it would be a little bit different because you have to look at the stallion career . With him , you know he seems to travel very calmly , does n't seem to mind it at all , and that is the perfect condition you need for a horse like this . As long as he keeps the class he 's been showing I 'm sure we 'll have a lot of fun with him . " Goliath was campaigned steadily by Graffard last year , finishing second in the Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot before his triumphant return to Berkshire at 25-1 under an ebullient Christophe Soumillon , coming decisively clear of subsequent Arc winner Bluestocking and the ever-reliable Rebel 's Romance . Prohibited from participating in the Arc itself for anatomical reason , he would go on to win the Group @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ runner in Sunday 's field , which includes last year 's narrow runner-up for Japan , Prognosis , and his compatriots Tastiera and Liberty Island . " We 're very much looking forward to running here , running against very strong competition , and may the best horse win , " said Von Ullmann . " If Goliath is able to show the exact same quality he showed at Ascot I think he 'll be tough to beat but then again it 's always a bit more tricky for European horses to come to Asia and show their quality . " And at the same time these Asian horses are getting stronger and stronger every year and that 's why it 's great to come and compete against the best . " |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject (Jeremy) + V1 (ruled) + NP object (himself) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (starring in said show). It involves a reflexive NP object (himself) coreferential with the subject (Jeremy), which is an atypical but acceptable type of NP object in the transitive out of -ing construction. The interpretation is a prevention interpretation, where Jeremy prevents himself from starring in the show. This aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('Eubank Jr.') + V1 ('get') + NP object ('this kid') + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('boxing'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, as the subject is causing the object to no longer participate in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate ('boxing'). The verb 'get' can be classified under 'By means of exerting force or pressure', which is one of the categories of verbs that appear in the V1 slot of the construction. The NP object 'this kid' functions as a causee, which is a requirement for the construction. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('preparing to get this kid out of boxing'). It implies a prevention interpretation, where the subject is causing the object (the kid) to not participate in boxing.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks a clear NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate structure. Additionally, the phrase 'work your way out of anything' does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, which are key characteristics of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence 'try and scam us out of something we created' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The verb 'scam' implies deception or trickery, which aligns with the means to achieve a goal as described in the properties. The NP object 'us' functions as a causee, and the interpretation is prevention (preventing us from keeping something we created). Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'the ordinary working people' is the NP object and 'being able to afford one' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also gives rise to a prevention interpretation, meaning that rising prices will prevent ordinary working people from being able to afford one. The verb 'priced' can be classified under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically'. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object between the verb 'get' and 'out of paying', and it does not clearly convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to express an avoidance of an action (paying) without the causative element typical of the construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'we' is the NP subject, 'refuse to be bullied' is the V1, 'out of standing our ground and protecting...' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also fits the prevention interpretation, as the subject is refusing to be prevented from standing their ground and protecting something. The verb 'bullied' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure, which is one of the classifications for verbs in this construction. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The Scottish Government has accepted the unanimous ruling , adding a review of policies would now commence , with specific consideration being given to updated guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission ( EHRC ) .

" Scotland 's Census from 2022 found that 19,970 people were trans or had a trans history -- 0.44% of people aged 16 and over . During the same year , statistics revealed that hate crimes against transgender people rose 87% in the previous 12 months .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('we refuse to be bullied out of standing our ground and protecting...'). It involves a prevention interpretation, where the subject 'we' is being prevented from 'standing our ground and protecting...' by means of being bullied. The verb 'bullied' fits the category of exerting force or pressure. The NP object is implied as 'us' (coreferential with 'we'), which is a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, it is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('persuaded out of resigning'). It involves a causer ('Lord Ashcroft') and a causee ('the Deputy Prime Minister and deputy Labour leader'), and it induces a prevention interpretation ('prevented from resigning'). The verb 'persuaded' fits into the category of verbs that appear in the V1 slot, specifically under 'By means of enticing, flattering, or verbal persuasion'. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Angela Rayner has repeatedly threatened to quit the Government over Labour 's " impossible " pledge to build 1.5 million homes over the course of this parliament . A new tell-all biography by Lord Ashcroft reveals that the Deputy Prime Minister and deputy Labour leader was only persuaded out of resigning thanks to a last-minute intervention by Tony Blair . Ms Rayner is said to believe Labour 's housebuilding policy is never going to be achieved , and should n't have been promised to voters last year . The deputy PM is also said to be angered by losing out on Dorneywood , the 21-room grace-and-favour mansion in Buckinghamshire , to Rachel Reeves . While Tony Blair gave use of the home , and its 215 acres of parkland and woodland , to his deputy Prime Minister John Prescott , Sir Keir kept with recent Tory tradition of handing it to his Chancellor . Eventually Ms Rayner was handed an apartment in Admiralty House on Whitehall , after attempts to " fob her off with a property in Northern Ireland " . Lord Ashcroft 's updated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that ms Rayner " threatened to resign because she felt she 'd been set the impossible target of Labour building 1.5 million new homes . " " It took a call from Tony Blair to talk her down -- which , incidentally , tells you how important Blair is to the Starmer project . " A Labour source warned that Ms Rayner 's housebuilding programme will inevitably unwind , as Britain does n't " have enough bricks and there is n't enough water to supply these houses " . A Labour MP added : " I think Rayner realised a while ago that the 1.5million new homes target is undeliverable . " " But now the penny 's dropped for Angie 's team that she was set up to fail on this all along . " We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you 've consented to and to improve our understanding of you . This may include adverts from us and 3rd parties based on our understanding . You can unsubscribe at any time . Read our Privacy Policy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ eat my hat if Angela Rayner quits the Cabinet " . The former frontbencher added : " I 'm a big fan of Angela Rayner , I think she 's brilliant . " A source close to Ms Rayner said : ' We do not recognise the claims made . Angela is proud to be serving as Deputy Prime Minister in Keir 's cabinet and delivering on Labour 's crystal clear commitment to build 1.5 million homes as part of our Plan for Change . " Ms Rayner nearly launched a coup against Sir Keir in 2021 after she was sacked as chair of the Labour Party in a botched reshuffle . According to a book documenting Sir Keir 's five years as leader of the opposition , the news of her sacking was greeted by Ms Rayner swearing at him before storming out of the meeting . Sources claimed she was then ready to launch a coup against the leader , backed by the trade unions , before backing down to avoid " a nuclear missile on their faces " . |

Reasoning

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it describes someone earning a living from being a lookalike, which does not involve causing or preventing an action related to the object. The phrase 'out of being his double' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, and the NP object does not function as a causee.

Being the spitting image of David Beckham - with his very own Posh - made a former car wash attendant more than ? 1 million ... Which he nearly blew on booze . Spurs fan Andy Harmer could never bend it like Beckham on the football pitch - reaching his journey 's end playing for Eastbourne United . But , matched in a drinking competition , Andy - who became famous as a David Beckham lookalike - would have beaten the real superstar hands down . ? He confessed : " When Beckham went to football training , I went to parties . " As a result , while superfit Becks is gearing up for his 50th on Friday , May 2 , sporting an enviable six pack , Andy , 46 , who survived a heart attack last year , is feeling lucky to be alive . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , I had a heart attack and had to be resuscitated nine times and was fitted with a stent . I 'd actually given up drinking eight months before , but I 'm sure my heart attack was down to my rock and roll lifestyle . I was a mix between David Beckham and George Best , and I could easily drink three bottles of wine a night . " Andy Harmer made a living as a David Beckham lookalike ( Image : ExpressStar ) Andy , from Eastbourne , West Sussex , was an 18-year-old cleaning cars at a friend 's garage when people started remarking on his likeness to the Man Utd and England midfielder , encouraging him to join a lookalikes agency . Article continues below What followed was a life beyond his wildest dreams - earning as much as ? 75K a year for over 20 years as a Becks lookalike - and meeting people like Rod Stewart , Ronnie Wood , Rebecca Loos - and Becks himself . He even had his very own ' Spice Girl , ' as his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a double for Posh Spice Victoria . He laughs : " I 've met Ronnie Wood from the Rolling Stones - he actually asked me and Camilla for a photo and I think he thought we were the real Posh and Becks when he first met us . I was often asked to stand in as David 's double and met David Beckham briefly while filming an ad for Pepsi . We only really had a chance to say a quick hello . It would be great to meet him again for longer this time and thank him for everything he 's done for me ! " Andy Harmer and Camilla Eldridge as David and Victoria Beckham ( Image : CHANNEL 4 ) ? He and Camilla even encountered Rebecca Loos , who enjoyed a brief spell of fame after allegations of a fling with Beckham . " Camilla and I were booked onto a TV programme in Austria , but they did n't tell us she ( Rebecca Loos ) was going to be there , " says Andy . " They did n't tell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ What ensued was " a bit of fun " as they bantered , according to Andy , who adds : " I 've also smoked a fag with Wayne Rooney ! It was at a footballer 's party in Liverpool and we were doing shots together . " The lookalike pair were such dead ringers for the celebrity couple that Camilla even wore a blonde wig on dates , so they could get some peace and quiet . Together romantically for a year , they went on hundreds of jobs around the world and remain good pals today . " When we were on the front cover of OK magazine , people complained because they thought we were the real couple and it was misleading , " laughs Andy . Andy made almost ? 1 million as the lookalike ? Now retired from being a lookalike - and less likely to be mistaken for Becks these days - he is still benefiting from his years of ' being Beckham , ' as he now runs a successful agency , Lookalikes , based in Eastbourne . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of looking like Beckham , " he says . " I always knew it was something I could n't , and did n't want to do forever . After Beckham retired , a lot of my football-themed bookings seemed to dry up . The next generation was more into Messi and Ronaldo . When Andy Harmer was younger he was the spitting image of David Beckham ( Image : Jonathan Buckmaster ) " I 've always been quite entrepreneurial and , in a way , was looking forward to finding out what life after Beckham would be like . So , I started my agency , and when it became more sustainable , it took the place of my lookalike work . " ? Still , he looks back fondly on his Beckham days , which took him to more than 30 countries , secured him a record deal in Japan and led to appearances on the reality show Lookalikes , screened on Channel 4 and Netflix . And while he wo n't be bringing his footie strip out of mothballs on Becks ' 50th birthday @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Andy even had his own Posh lookalike ( Image : Getty Images ) Describing the riskier side of his own brush with fame , he says : " A lot of the jobs you go to are parties and there 's free drinks flowing . And working as a lookalike can be quite daunting , especially when walking into a room with thousands of people scrutinising you . I 'd be out partying most nights , and a bit of Dutch courage helped . Red wine was my poison of choice , but to be honest , I 'd drink anything . I 'd start off on red wine , but then I 'd move on to double vodkas , shots , and cocktails . I drifted away into this world of parties , attention and glamour . You only realise after - it creeps up on you . " ? When I retired as Beckham 's double , my addiction to alcohol got worse , and then we had lockdown , which did n't help . The problem has always been there - probably since my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lifestyle and the drinking that came with it just helped me block that pain out . I 'd also split up with my daughter 's mum and felt very alone and depressed . Around that time , I went on This Morning and some viewers were really cruel , saying I looked nothing like Beckham , that I was the worst lookalike ever and that I was a fat David Beckham . During the 2008 recession Andy Harmer supplemented his income by ' Busking like Beckham ' ( Image : Jonathan Buckmaster ) Then , after raking in cash , the 2008 recession saw work disappearing overnight . Still , refusing to give in , he pounded the streets of Brighton carrying a sign saying ' Busk It like Beckham ' . " People would gather around to watch me do tricks and have their photo taken with me - it got me out of a quiet period , " he says . " I used to play for a local youth team and then Eastbourne United , so I 'm not too bad at football . And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ take all the free kicks . " ? He also encountered music mogul Simon Cowell when he launched the Chippendoubles - a group of impersonators who reached the semi-finals of series 4 of Britain 's Got Talent in 2010 . Quite a character , he has also appeared on TV 's Dragon 's Den - twice ! And , he thinks he may share his lookalike credentials with his daughter Scarlett Rose , 11 , who he says bears a strong resemblance to Harper - the Beckhams ' 13-year-old daughter . " People say my daughter looks like Harper , but I think she 's more interested in running Lookalikes than making a living as a double for Beckham 's daughter , " he says . " It was through being a Beckham lookalike that I met her mum . I tell her if it was n't for BGT you would n't have been born , as I met her mum when we went to Dubai with the Chippendoubles . I feel lucky to be alive to celebrate my 46th . Every day is a bonus . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ certainly appreciate being alive . " And I 've had an unbelievable life - it 's been crazy ! " Laughing , he admits that looking like Becks has made him a hit with the ladies in the past , adding : " And with the men . I did attract a lot of attention from girls during my lookalike years . It was flattering , but at the same time , I felt like they did n't really know the real me , I was a fantasy . " To be honest , I have been single for about nine years and I 'm quite happy . My daughter lives in Birmingham with her mum and I see her every other weekend and on school holidays . The rest of the time I am working and doing my own projects so do n't know where I would fit a relationship in . Maybe in the future , who knows ?

The sentence does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction because it lacks a clear causer and causee relationship, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of looking like Beckham' does not involve an NP object functioning as a causee, and the verb 'making' does not fit the typical means categories described for the construction.

Instead, it describes a general activity of earning money based on appearance, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Andy Harmer , and his girlfriend of the time Camilla Eldridge , impersonated David and Victoria Beckham ( Image : CHANNEL 4 ) One celebrity lookalike has admitted how his double life as a celeb persona earned him over ? 1 million - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ total on booze , as he began to lead an unthinkable lifestyle . Andy Harmer , admitted to earning more than ? 1 million after he ditched his work of washing cars , aged 18 , and began working as a David Beckham impersonator . For parts of his career , he worked alongside his girlfriend of the time , Camilla Eldridge , who was also the spitting image of Beckham 's wife , Victoria . ? Andy , from Eastbourne , West Sussex , joined a lookalikes agency when he was young after people began pointing out his likeness to the famous Man Utd and England midfielder . From this , the former car wash attendant went on to live a double life and make more than ? 1 million over his career and as much as ? 75K a year . Article continues below But , speaking with the Mirror , the lookalike has since admitted how his spell as Beckham led him down an unthinkable path , confessing " when Beckham went to football training , I went to parties " . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lookalike persona , he found himself suffering a heart attack last year which has left him feeling " lucky to be alive " . He said : " A year ago , I had a heart attack and had to be resuscitated nine times and was fitted with a stent . I 'd actually given up drinking eight months before , but I 'm sure my heart attack was down to my rock and roll lifestyle . I was a mix between David Beckham and George Best , and I could easily drink three bottles of wine a night . " Reflecting on his time a Beckham double , Andy said : " A lot of the jobs you go to are parties and there 's free drinks flowing . And working as a lookalike can be quite daunting , especially when walking into a room with thousands of people scrutinising you . " I 'd be out partying most nights , and a bit of Dutch courage helped . Red wine was my poison of choice , but to be honest , I 'd drink anything @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ red wine , but then I 'd move on to double vodkas , shots , and cocktails . I drifted away into this world of parties , attention and glamour . You only realise after - it creeps up on you . " Though Andy eventually retired as a the iconic footballer 's impersonator , he explained that this had not immediately cleared up his addiction issues . " When I retired as Beckham 's double , my addiction to alcohol got worse , and then we had lockdown , which did n't help , " he explained . ? " The problem has always been there - probably since my mum died when I was 18 . The whole glamorous lifestyle and the drinking that came with it just helped me block that pain out . I 'd also split up with my daughter 's mum and felt very alone and depressed .

" I always knew it was something I could n't , and did n't want to do forever . After Beckham retired , a lot of my football-themed bookings seemed to dry up . The next generation was more into Messi and Ronaldo . " I 've always been quite entrepreneurial and , in a way , was looking forward to finding out what life after Beckham would be like .

" It was through being a Beckham lookalike that I met her mum . I tell her if it was n't for BGT you would n't have been born , as I met her mum when we went to Dubai with the Chippendoubles .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('they will also let you opt out of lifestyling'). It involves an animate NP subject ('they') and an NP object ('you') that functions as a causee, inducing a prevention interpretation (preventing you from lifestyling). The verb 'let' fits into the category of verbs that appear in the V1 slot by means of allowing or permitting, which is a specific means to achieve a goal. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Ructions in the bond market always draw attention to a little-known or understood investment strategy that many workers are ' defaulted ' into in the run-up to retirement . The global trade war launched by US president Donald Trump has sparked a bond sell-off in recent weeks . If the chaos continues or worsens. some older workers may discover they are sitting on big pension fund losses right on the brink of retirement , which they might be forced to delay as a result . This is because late in their working life , savers in pension schemes typically see their pots shifted out of stock markets and all or part way into bonds , which have historically been regarded as the ' safer ' option . The process is known as lifestyling , de-risking , or sometimes target-dating , but when it starts and how it progresses varies so you will need to ask your scheme or at the very least stay alert to any communications about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anything that arrives from your pension scheme . But it is more crucial in the decade or so before retirement age , as the investment approach being used could have a big impact on your eventual pension fund . Note that lifestyling affects people in ' defined contribution ' pensions , where you build a pot invested for retirement , not ' defined benefit ' or final salary schemes , where an employer is responsible for paying you a guaranteed income for life . Your pension scheme will ask you about your plans and choices regarding your retirement date , and whether you want to a ) take your pension pot as cash ; b ) use it to buy an annuity and get a guaranteed income for life ; or c ) keep it invested in an income drawdown plan . Not answering means you are likely to be defaulted into whatever investing strategy your scheme deems most suitable before you retire . Anyone who wants to keep their pension fund invested perhaps for decades @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is better to opt out of ' lifestyling ' altogether and stick with stocks , which are riskier but have more potential for long-term growth . On the other hand , when bond prices plummet this creates opportunities for new buyers , so starting to move into them then might be great timing for people just starting the lifestyling process . It is worth stressing that the employers and pension firms running workplace schemes ' lifestyle ' funds with only the best of intentions for their members . The idea is to protect savers against abrupt downturns when they are just about to start tapping their pensions . Meanwhile , there can be an upside for savers when bond markets take a hit , because if interest rates are high or on the rise at the same time that makes annuities a more attractive option . So , what if your pension has n't started being lifestyled yet , but you want to know more and be forearmed about what is to come ? Or what if you have just realised you are midway @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to stick with it , or are on the brink of retirement and need to know your options now ? We asked pension experts to explain all the practical ins and outs . What is pension lifestyling ? The little-known strategy that can have a big impact on your fund in the run-up to retirement Usually this happens between six and 10 years from the retirement age you have either chosen or your workplace scheme has selected for you . Whether you are in an in-house employer scheme , or one run by a big pension firm or mastertrust , they are likely to notify you before you enter the de-risking phase , so you have the chance to opt out . If you have n't heard from them about this , check your personal pension details online or give your scheme a ring to find out the start date . It 's really important people think about their selected retirement age or the age that they 've been defaulted to if they did n't select @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' This impacts when the administrator will start to de-risk them . If they change their selected retirement age once they 're in the lifestyle strategy , they may be either de-risked if they bring it forward or re-risked if they push it back . ' Workplace pension provider Aegon says it starts lifestyling - changing the asset allocation of a pension - from six years from someone 's chosen retirement date . ' This timeframe can vary depending on the product and strategy the customer is invested in , and will be automatically updated if a customer chooses a different retirement date . ' Lifestyling might begin automatically after you have received a letter , so you need to be on the lookout and be ready to make decisions . Aegon says its letters encourage members to review their pension , consider their retirement goals , and check they are in the right investment strategy . ' It 's vital that customers read all the information sent to them by their pension provider , and seek help from a financial adviser if they do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' adds the firm . A full transition out of stocks used to happen before the pension freedom reforms in 2015 . Following the reforms , many people have started living on an invested pension fund in retirement , instead of using their entire pot to buy an annuity . Until that point , schemes tended to lifestyle all pensions in the same way , says Rona Train of Hymans Robertson . ' Most schemes ended with a position of 75 per cent in bonds and 25 per cent in cash as the vast majority of people took their maximum allowable tax-free cash lump sum and then bought an annuity with the remainder . ' This changed after 2015 . Some strategies still target only bonds and cash at retirement but many have developed to target a more balanced portfolios of shares , bonds and other asset types . ' These are designed to be more suitable for people who will opt to draw down an income after the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lifestyle strategies target 100 per cent in cash at the point of retirement . These are largely in schemes where members are expected to have small pots when they retire and to take all of these pots as cash when they retire . ' Aegon says it gives people three main options on what to do with their money at retirement : buy an annuity ; take it as cash ; and withdraw it flexibly . ' The asset mix or investments held for each of these three options will vary . For example , a lifestyle fund targeting an annuity will generally move to mostly bonds and cash . ' This is because bonds and annuity rates have an inverse relationship ( when bonds fall , annuity rates typically increase and vice versa ) which gives greater certainty as to the level of annuity you can purchase . ' If you 're targeting cash , the lifestyle will move to mostly cash . If you 're targeting flexible drawdown , it is likely to be a mix of bonds , cash , and stock markets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at Fidelity International , believes it is important for there to be a de-risking process during the approach to retirement . This is in order for people to access higher risk assets early in life while diversifying closer to retirement . ' De-risking is driven by the change in member objectives , ' he says . ' While a younger member is focused on growth with a high tolerance to risk , someone entering a drawdown product needs a more diversified growth strategy , but with less volatility and potentially an income target . ' If you stay invested in a income drawdown scheme in retirement , you need to reduce volatility because making withdrawals during more negative market conditions can have such a significant impact on your fund , explains Smith . ' This can have a detrimental impact on the expected life of a drawdown pot in supporting an individual 's retirement and most drawdown strategies look to provide some stability to limit the impact of this risk . ' If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prefer to stay with riskier stocks , although as explained above you should still bear in mind the need to have a balanced portfolio and how you will manage withdrawals during periods of market upheaval . Nevertheless , you might want to make choices on this yourself rather than have them taken over your head . It depends on your scheme , but if you want to opt out of lifestyling entirely you will probably have to move out of its default fund and invest in some of the other funds that it offers . Workplace schemes run by external pension firms typically have a ' walled garden ' of funds to choose from , but check the charges as they might be more expensive than the default one . Rona Train of Hymans Robertson says if you are in an in-house scheme run by your employer , you should let its administrator know you want to opt out before the lifestyling process is due to begin .

' They have the option to opt out of their default strategy and instead choose their desired risk appetite and " self-select " their funds .

' So , think carefully and consider talking to an authorised financial adviser before making any decisions .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'takes the effort out of keeping your brushes pristine' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a reduction of effort in maintaining cleanliness, which does not align with the defined properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'takes the effort out of keeping your brushes pristine' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a reduction of effort in maintaining brush cleanliness, which does not align with the defined properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks an NP object and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'stay out of' is used idiomatically to mean avoiding involvement, which does not align with the transitive out of -ing construction.

Teenage girls are as scared of being targeted by deepfake pornography as walking home alone at night , the Children 's Commissioner for England has said . In an interview with The Telegraph , Dame Rachel de Souza urged the Government to issue an immediate ban on " nudifying apps " that are used to create the explicit images , which she said were often advertised to children . It is against the law to make or possess AI-generated images of naked children but widely available apps that facilitate deepfake pornography are not illegal . A report by the Children 's Commissioner , which was shared with The Telegraph , warned that such apps have created a legal loophole that allows deeply harmful technology to be used to run " fully fledged online businesses " . Dame Rachel said : " What I 'm hearing is fear -- as much fear as you 'd get from walking down a dark road at night . " There is no good purpose for nudifying apps . So I do really feel strongly about this , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like to see the Government stepping forward and sorting this out . " Just deal with it . Creating the images is illegal so make the nudifying apps illegal . Boom . Done . Do it . " Since the advent of smartphones , safety experts have said that children could be coerced into sharing nude images of themselves . However , new technology has meant that deepfake pornography can be created by anyone . Apps available on major platforms such as Apple have allowed users to transpose people 's faces onto pornography , with some being " advertised to children on popular social media apps " , according to the Children 's Commissioner 's report . Children are simultaneously being exposed to an increasing amount of deepfakes . More than a quarter of 13 to 18 year-olds said they had seen an explicit altered image of a celebrity , friend , teacher or even themselves , when surveyed by Censuswide earlier this year . Because many of the deepfake apps work only on female bodies , girls are particularly vulnerable to the abuse . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deepfakes accessible online are of women and girls , according to Internet Matters , the online safety charity . Schoolgirls interviewed by the Children 's Commissioner 's office said that male peers were creating the fake footage as a new form of revenge porn .

Dame Rachel added that this proved the proliferation of deepfake technology was having a chilling effect on girls ' online participation and called for artificial intelligence ( AI ) bosses to be held accountable . As well as deepfakes , the Children 's Commissioner warned that " pretty much every 11 or 12 year-old that I talk to in this country ... they see coercive , degrading porn . They see extreme violence and gore . Pretty much every class I speak to , they 've all seen beheadings . " She added : " Parents would be horrified that their tender , young , primary age-child is seeing this ... The tech bosses have to do better . " I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some of those things if they are deserving of that . " The warning comes after Dame Rachel accused the media regulator of putting the interests of tech companies above young people earlier this week . She claimed that Ofcom 's new code of practice , which is aimed at keeping children safe online , was " not strong enough " and appeared " to prioritise the business interests of technology companies over children 's safety " . Alongside a ban on nudifying apps , she urged the Government to introduce a specific AI Bill to penalise tech bosses if their products were used to create explicit images of children . She also called on parents to limit children 's access to technology , saying that young people were asking for their phones to be taken away at night . Speaking to The Telegraph about Adolescence , the popular the popular Netflix show , Dame Rachel said the scene that struck her most was " the final episode where the dad walks into the boy 's bedroom and you see it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

And that 's really what the young people talk to me about : we need boundaries , " she said . Dame Rachel , who was appointed Children 's Commissioner in 2021 , also called for an overhaul of sex education lessons , which she said were not giving children " what they need to know " . The Government has promised to introduce teaching on misogyny and consent as part of a shake-up in relationships , sex and health education that was first touted by the Tories in 2023 . Dame Rachel stressed the importance of politics lessons in schools , warning that " most children are getting their political education off TikTok " .

She went on to criticise Labour 's flagship VAT policy on private schools as being " ideological " . In her first comments since the tax raid came into force on Jan 1 , she said : " We 've got to ensure that the state system is of such high quality that no one would want to go anywhere else . That would be the ideal situation for me , even though for me a school is a school , whatever kind of school it is . " I think the decision around the VAT , it 's an ideological one .

" Actually I think schools should be critical infrastructure . I would n't do it strike myself and I do n't think parents in this country would want to see it .

I CAN reveal that stylish Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has landed a ? 1million designer fashion campaign -- after I told last weekend how the band had bagged a big-money adidas advert ahead of their Live ' 25 reunion tour . Liam has been offered the hefty fee by British luxury brand Burberry to shoot its lavish summer campaign . The model flaunted her tattooed arms in a satin cami top for the opening of Mr Porter Steakhouse in the capital on Friday night . Lottie , whose half-sister is model Kate Moss , shared a snap on Instagram of herself with make-up still on from the night before .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'backed out of' which is an intransitive phrasal verb followed by a gerund phrase 'writing this', but lacks an NP object that functions as a causee. Therefore, it does not meet the criteria for the transitive out of -ing construction.

I grew up in poverty - this is why I 'm writing about it . ( Image : Rebecca McCurdy ) This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues . It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . There is something so vulnerable about writing about your childhood . It is a situation that if I am completely honest , I was not prepared for . I have almost backed out of writing this so many times in the run up to publication of The Herald 's child poverty series . That is partly because of the stigma and shame that often follows the label of growing up in poverty . I know because I have lived it . I have been the child lying awake at night , cold and hungry . Going to bed and waking up the next day , still hungry , was the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in my life of realising my family was poor . Perhaps that means it was just the way things always were . I do not write this for sympathy . In fact , people who personally know me understand that this is the last thing I would want or need . But equally , I did not want to -- and could not -- write about poverty in such an intensive way without demonstrating that this is an issue that I genuinely care about . Families have trusted me with their stories . This week , The Herald will share many of them as part of our series : Scotland 's Forgotten Children : Poverty in Focus . Some of the stories you will read this week are , frankly , devastating . But crucially , these stories you will read are real . It could be your neighbour or the children you pass every morning on the way to work . The stories are raw and they are happening here in Scotland . I did not want The Herald to just be a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ child poverty and scrutinise the policies behind it in agonising detail without taking the challenge head on . This is an uncomfortable topic . It should be . Poverty is uncomfortable . It is embarrassing and it is dehumanising . I can tell you that as a fact because I have lived it . I invite you to put yourselves in the shoes of the children down the street from you . Put yourselves into the shoes of eight-year-old me . A criticism that is often floated about people in poverty is that if you can not afford to have children then you simply should not have them . That is an offensive statement for those of us born into poverty . And how does it help the child growing up in these circumstances ? For me , there were circumstances that catapulted us into poverty -- and ones that we had no say over . My dad became ill and when he was n't in hospital , required a lot of care . At the same time , my mum continued her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ age of 15 . Times were tough . I have very distinct memories of lying in bed almost crippled with worry over how much more my mum could handle . She was already skipping meals to ensure my two brothers and I were fed . To suggest that our poverty was because of a lack of effort from her is quite simply ridiculous . She is , and has always been , the hardest working person I have ever known and it is her resilience and sacrifice that has allowed me to thrive in adulthood . And yet people like her are regularly labelled lazy or a scrounger . As night turns to day , the anxiety I had as a child followed me to school . It transformed into embarrassment as I queued with my ' poor ' classmates for the free school meal ticket . We waited like animals as the teacher checked off our names on the list . A dehumanising process at the best of times , while your better off classmates run past . There is the desperation and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ though they likely already know you are one of the poor kids . Imagine then , your name is not on that list . Something has gone wrong , an administrative error means your name is not there that day . There was no back stop in place for this when I was at school . Let me tell you what happens : if your name is not on the list , there is no lunch . So what would you do ? Personally , my option was to say nothing at all , or if questioned pretend it is a mix up and say I had forgotten I was supposed to go home for lunch that day . It is not lost on me how different my life could have been . I am working in the job that my younger self could only have dreamt of . I no longer live in poverty and I know how lucky I am to have escaped a cycle that can feel impossible to break away from . But there is always a feeling of wondering when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but will it always be this way ? That is an anxiety I fear I may never shift . I also feel massive guilt at the reasonably comfortable life I am able to live . Am I helping enough ? While writing this has been confronting , I am also extremely lucky to have this platform . I know that many people living in poverty do not get the chance to share what their lives are really like . My editor asked me what 15-year-old me would have thought of 29-year-old me . The truth is I do n't know . I do n't think she would have believed what she saw . What I think matters is what I would say to her . I would tell her to stop being so ashamed of her upbringing . It may have been tough but it has shaped her and for that , I am proud . But I or anyone else should not have to be shaped by such an experience . This should be an issue that is resigned to the history books where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the first place . Yet as I write this , around 80,000 children are living in extreme poverty . That is 80,000 too many . It should have been a safe space for informed debate , somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day , but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse . heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment .

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject ('the President') + V1 ('talked') + NP object ('out of') + VP2[-ing] predicate ('bombing Iran'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the action of bombing Iran was prevented by means of talking. The verb 'talked' falls under the category of means by enticing, flattering, or verbal persuasion. The NP subject is an animate agent, and the construction induces a prevention interpretation, making it a valid instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'the President' is the NP object, 'was talked' is the V1 in passive voice, and 'bombing Iran' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It induces a prevention interpretation, as the action of bombing Iran was prevented by means of talking. The verb 'talked' fits into the category of verbs that appear in the V1 slot by means of verbal persuasion. The NP object 'the President' functions as a causee who participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction: NP subject (Jeremy) + V1 (ruled) + NP object (himself) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (starring in said show). It also involves a reflexive NP object (himself) coreferential with the subject, which is an atypical but acceptable type of NP object in this construction. The interpretation is a prevention interpretation, where Jeremy prevents himself from starring in the show.

Jeremy Clarkson opened up about his new role on Diddly Squat farm ( Image : Prime Video ) Jeremy Clarkson has revealed he has a new passion after being called into action at his Oxfordshire farm . The former Top Gear presenter , 65 , who runs the 1,000-acre Diddly Squat farm , discovered unprecedented joy in assisting with calf births , even considering himself a " midwife " to cows . The Clarkson 's Farm star was forced to get hands-on after one of his cows struggled to give birth last week . In his column for The Times , Jeremy Clarkson recalled how delivering the calf gave him " absolute joy " . He began : " I was on my own , and I do n't mind admitting I was nervous . " He recounted having a " tug of war " with a calf who was stuck for 90 minutes . " I pulled until it felt like my eyes were bleeding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " he wrote . The Grand Tour star painted a picture of his first actions post-delivery , explaining : " I rushed over to it , scraping the gunk - again , I 'm not sure that 's the correct term - from its face before putting a bit of straw up its nose to make it sneeze and start breathing . And it did . " Reflecting on this momentous event , Jeremy continued : " And I simply can not tell you how that feels . I was exhausted , my arms felt as though they were on fire , I was covered in slimy cow juice and faeces and I was smiling a smile that I simply did n't think would be possible in any kind of workplace . " The Who Wants to Be a Millionaire ? host admitted he does n't know what would have happened if he was n't there , before describing the calf as " the most adorable you 've ever seen " . In yet another open-hearted admission , he highlighted his elation : " I was enveloped @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the soles of my feet to the follicles on the top of my head . I 've had some happy moments in farming but nothing gets even remotely close to this . " " All I want to do from now on is to be a midwife . For cows , " he declared .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes an event where Maurizio Sarri stormed out of training, but there is no NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'storming out of training' is an intransitive use of 'storm out' and does not involve the required construction.

When Arsenal played out their 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace at the Emirates on Wednesday , the biggest cheer of the night came not for either of the hosts ' goals but when Bukayo Saka emerged from the substitutes ' bench . That Arsenal are in the Champions League semi-finals against Paris Saint-Germain and within touching distance of the European glory that has largely eluded the club is in no small part down to Saka . It is fitting that he is the sole survivor from the wreckage of their most recent European final in the Europa League six years ago against Chelsea , when he was an unused substitute wearing No87 . Saka , then 17 years old , was an unused substitute when Arsenal lost the Europa League final to Chelsea in Baku GETTY Arsenal were in the doldrums then .

The one glimmer of hope was Saka , who was given his first Premier League start at the beginning of the next season by Unai Emery . When Emery was sacked in November 2019 after a deterioration in results , one of the first things head coach Mikel Arteta did was to identify Saka 's technical gifts , football intelligence and personality as crucial in his attempt to transform the culture at Arsenal . Arteta has made Saka a key player throughout his time in charge of Arsenal DAVID KLEIN/REUTERS Upon taking charge in December 2019 , Arteta presented the club 's hierarchy with a blueprint for how to make Arsenal consistently successful , which contained five phases . He has never shed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Arsenal were in phase three in March 2023 , when they first challenged for the Premier League title . Last month , he said the club were approaching the final phase . " We are in phase four to five , establishing yourself at the highest level in the Champions League , " Arteta said . " Consistently performing with a DNA that is very clear , with a lot of unity throughout the club and being very close to touching big trophies . " The journey has not been smooth . Months after lifting the FA Cup in August 2020 at an empty Wembley Stadium during the pandemic , Arteta 's job was under serious threat . Advertisement Arsenal went into a tricky London derby against Chelsea lying 15th on the back of a run of seven league games without a win . Arteta was grateful to Saka for scoring the third goal in a 3-1 victory on Boxing Day that strengthened his position .

While these departures did not immediately improve the club 's fortunes on the pitch , Arteta was backed in the summer transfer window . Arsenal 's net spend under Arteta has been ? 460million as they have cut their losses on highly paid , underperforming players and brought in the likes of Declan Rice for ? 100million and Kai Havertz for ? 60million . Rice more than justified his ? 100million fee with two man-of-the-match performances against Real Madrid , including keeping Jude Bellingham quiet DAVID RAMOS/GETTY The steady improvement has resulted in Arsenal re-establishing themselves as Champions League regulars . After they were knocked out by Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals last season , they have looked better equipped to deal with Europe 's top teams .

Saka was injured by a tackle playing against Ipswich Town but was fit enough to be on the bench three days later Saka 's return from a hamstring injury in time to face Real in the quarter-finals was vital and , despite missing a penalty , his delicate chip killed off Real 's hopes of a comeback in the second leg .

The sentence 'Creating something out of nothing.' does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'out of' in a different sense, indicating the origin or result of the action 'creating'.

261 miles separate the Vitality Stadium and Anfield , so at least the 1,299 Manchester United supporters in the away end were a relatively safe distance on Sunday . It is unlikely any of them tuned into Five Live on the journey back to Manchester . The gushing presenter , Steve Crossman , silently observed The Kop 's chorus of You 'll Never Walk Alone as if it was a national anthem . Liverpool have earned the airtime and column inches . Their superb succession plan has yielded a 20th title . United botched theirs , as Sir Matt Busby did in 1969 . It is 12 years and counting without a new engraving onto the honours ' board under the Premier League trophy silhouette . United are certain to go at least half as long without the title as they did between 1967-93 . United are the punchline again . Their Dutch manager oversaw their worst league finish in 34 years and could not get a tune out of the plethora of Dutch-schooled players he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the first time of asking and got a tune out of the Dutch-schooled players he inherited . Ryan Gravenberch and Cody Gakpo were , of course , of interest to Ten Hag back in 2022 . Those two dodged a bullet . " He ( Ten Hag ) did have a voice , " Sir Jim Ratcliffe acknowledged , " which is why there were one or two Dutch players . " That was very glib of Ratcliffe during his therapeutic chat with Gary Neville . One or two Dutch players at an up-front cost of ? 75million . Staff and matchgoers will pay the price through redundancies and season-ticket hikes . United 's only truly successful signing of the past 12 years , Bruno Fernandes , might even elicit a smirk from those on the red side of Stanley Park . Liverpool scouted Fernandes at Sporting but opted against advancing their interest as his risk-taking passing jarred with Jurgen Klopp 's style . Ole Gunnar Solskjaer welcomed that risk and United 's captain often mirrors the team . Creating something out of nothing . Hit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his first month . Ten Hag never did in two-and-a-half years . It is not rotten bad luck that this keeps on happening to United . Ten Hag brought success and , for his first year at least , his appointment drew widespread and deserved approval . United opted for a different Dutch manager Ten Hag 's legacy will not be the League Cup or the FA Cup . Four of United 's 15 Premier League defeats this season came under him but the die had been cast . United were 14th when Ten Hag was sacked and they are still 14th , having crept above Everton with Rasmus Hojlund 's 96th-minute prod at Bournemouth . Ralf Rangnick , purportedly hired to ease the passing of the torch to Ten Hag , disapproved of United 's recruitment in the summer of 2022 . Rangnick was too fixated on Red Bull talents to give United wings ( Erling Haaland , Josko Gvardiol , Konrad Laimer and Christopher Nkunku ) but that was a sounder strategy than stockpiling Eredivisie alumni . Or those who had played under @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and ill-advised interest in Marko Arnautovic he thought it had been fabricated . Rangnick was unimpressed by Ten Hag 's recruitment He was also baffled by Ten Hag 's tactical set-up in the 3-1 defeat to Brighton in September 2023 . So were the United players when a diamond shape was foisted onto them . Rangnick did not cover himself in glory as United 's interim manager but he had a reliable grasp on the club 's ills . It was a sobering Sunday for United , requiring a man advantage and ample added time to equalise at Bournemouth while Liverpool painted the town red . Tottenham must be the only team that are more certain to lose after going 1-0 up than at 0-0 . United 's followers were raucous at full-time at Bournemouth . That was inevitable . There is a semi-final on Thursday , the first of their two biggest games in decades . The support the United away end offered the white-shirted players who waved the white flag at Selhurst Park a year ago has set a benchmark . United players @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ last year That harmony did no harm as United clinched their sweetest FA Cup win since 1996 in that incongruous final . If there is something riding on the season , they wo n't turn . Three years ago , they turned when United were battered 4-0 by Brighton , their sixth four-goal defeat in a season that was actually more shocking than the current one . " You 're not fit to wear the shirt , " was aired . United fans sang it at Old Trafford a month earlier during a spiky atmosphere against Norwich City . The Stretford End repeatedly told Paul Pogba to " f**k off " on his final Old Trafford appearance . Pogba responds to United fans after the Norwich match That season was over by mid-March . Ruben Amorim 's squad is worse than Rangnick 's rubbish , who still somehow finished sixth in 2021-22 . But Europa League progression has spared the players of any vitriol raining down from the stands . Mutiny simmered during the farcical FA Cup semi-final against Coventry a year ago . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , despite a technical triumph . Once the dust had settled and fans had sobered up ( or drowned their sorrows ) , they could at least look forward to another cup final at Wembley . Now , there is an acceptance that United are atrocious . Domestically at least , the team has not even bothered to offer false hope . 2021-22 and 23-24 were particularly appalling as there was pre-season optimism that United would improve on the previous progressive campaigns . Ten Hag should have gone after last season Ten Hag scoffed at the hype surrounding Slot . " Feyenoord were steady this year but not top , " he told Voetbal International in June . " PSV Eindhoven were two classes better in all areas : in terms of dominating the ball , in terms of putting on pressure , in terms of intensity , you name it . " Peter Bosz and his staff did that top notch , but the rest of the club is also well put together . PSV Eindhoven were better than the rest by such a long @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bosz , of course , also coached Ajax . Slot inherited an enviable squad but has enhanced it . Liverpool 's apparent state of stasis in the summer is now moot . Federico Chiesa , their only immediate signing , has not played enough Premier League games to even qualify for a winner 's medal . He still has time to get one on Liverpool 's coronation day on May 25 . United fans wo n't be as far away that day . They 'll be at home to Aston Villa .

The Fusion Centre celebrates its 10th anniversary this year and we visited to hear how it all began , how far they 've progressed and what they 're doing for the local community by empowering the young people of our town . The organisation 's aim is to respond to the needs of local people and to offer support to those facing the most challenging circumstances . Former Professional Bantamweight boxer Wayne Bloy is founder and CEO . He said : " I retired from boxing in 2012 and started Fusion in 2013 . I started with just boxing style sessions around the Grimsby area , hiring community and village halls for an hour and delivering a fitness session at an affordable cost . " After banking the money generated from that and as popularity grew and the need for more sessions , I was able to rent a premises further down Ladysmith Road at the Birdseye units . After a year there the opportunity came up to take on this place , which was the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Youth Worker with one of the youth clubs at the Fusion Centre ( Image : Donna Clifford/GrimsbyLive ) Remembering the beginning of the journey , Wayne goes on to say : " It was basically a shed when we walked in , it had been neglected for 20 years prior , with leaks everywhere , needing roof repairs , so I got volunteers involved to get us in and open . I was desperate to get the keys and just wanted the space to do boxing programs . Since then we 've grown and grown and it 's our 10th anniversary here this year . " He added : " We 've put about ? 2.4million into the centre now and try to give people the best equipment which had come from business plans and trying to attract funders to invest . Now the numbers speak for themselves because we are basically at capacity . " Our gym has 300 members and the youth club 's gone from strength to strength . We look for ways to become self sufficient also , and we generate income so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We 're just nearing completion of the green room , which is attached to the back and that 's going to become a caf ? bar , social space designed to support young people and our wider community , opening in May . " We are currently pushing our outreach project to different area 's of Grimsby , trying to get into the local schools and creating an education provision here at the centre which will be our next project . " Proud of how far Fusion has progressed , Wayne says : " I still get a kick out of seeing everything going on , happy faces around the centre , it 's very rewarding . I have coaches that deliver all the community sessions , I 'm still involved with the competitive boxers , that 's what I 've done since I was 10 years old , sort of ingrained into me , it 's where I started and the roots of it . " It 's personal experience of what not just boxing but martial arts did for me as a young kid growing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a child . I had a troubled family life and if it was n't for free activities with YMCA or going to karate once a week or the youth club here I do n't know where I would have ended up . " I can use myself as an example of why it 's important to keep these kind of centres open . It 's down to organisations like us to keep things going and try keep crime statistics down and keep kids at the youth club fed , it 's come to that seriousness of it really . " Youth and Community Leader Donna Thornton explains how she got involved and how she is out in the community building links throughout the town . " My son came here for boxing , I always liked what I saw and knew they were starting up a youth club so I approached them . I already worked at a youth club and wanted to be part of Fusion and something else that was just starting . " I volunteer at community groups like Grimsby Food Kitchen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Community Centre , Doorstep , Green Forrest , Sunflowers charity to build relationships , we gave hundreds of Easter eggs out to them recently . I also go to the other youth clubs and the YMCA because it 's important we all get along and all get to know each other . A few months ago I messaged all the other youth clubs and we all went for breakfast . " " When I first joined , Fusion had one youth club now we have four sessions , we do a junior gym , a football team . The junior gym now has 40 kids , that 's 40 kids off the streets . We try to offer them free food when they come to the youth club and last week we had 14-16 year-olds and we all played bingo for Easter eggs . " A Sunday earlier this month we had a community day where everyone came in for free hot drinks and cake and it 's a way to say thankyou for donating or just to come in and meet us and we do that at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doors and let people come in and meet us , it 's nice to give back to the community and that why I do this , to give something back for free . " I love the community side of things and knowing that we are making a difference and welcoming people in the community . " Youth Worker Abigail Lord added : " I started volunteering a year and half ago , then a part time job came up , they asked if I was interested in applying and I got it . I 've struggled with my mental health and Fusion was really supportive . " It 's a really lovely supportive place to work , like a family .

The UK faces a summer of discontent among NHS staff , council workers and teachers after unions warned proposed pay offers were not high enough . The threatened industrial action could include council staff across England , Wales and Northern Ireland -- raising the prospect of bin strikes spreading beyond Birmingham at the height of the summer . Independent pay review bodies are poised to recommend pay rises for NHS workers in England and teachers in England and Wales beyond the 2.8 per cent budgeted for by Chancellor Rachel Reeves . The Times reported that NHS staff could be offered 3 per cent while teachers are expected to be presented with a pay deal of 4 per cent -- over the current rate of inflation . Downing Street and the Treasury said anything above 2.8 per cent would have to be funded out of existing budgets , raising the prospect of further spending cuts . However , some unions warned that what was being proposed by the pay review bodies did not go far enough . Meanwhile , Unite is to recommend to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ireland that they reject a pay offer of 3.2 per cent , meaning strikes could follow this summer . The same union is expected to reject an offer of 3 per cent for NHS staff and call for parity with health worker members in Scotland , who have been offered 4.25 per cent . The Royal College of Nursing ( RCN ) is surveying members about the Government 's pay proposals and has also warned it could take strike action , threatening a repeat of the walkouts which hit the NHS two years ago . Unison and the GMB did not respond directly to the reports of the leaked pay review body proposals . The National Education Union says it " stands ready " to strike unless the 4 per cent offer to teaching staff is fully funded and not paid for by cutting elsewhere in the school budget . Council workers in England , Wales and Northern Ireland have been offered a pay increase of 3.2 per cent from 1 April 2025 . Unite said it will now hold consultative ballots for thousands @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ offer . It pointed out that national employers had tabled it without any negotiation with unions . Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said : " Yet again , this year 's pay offer fails to tackle low pay for local government workers , who have endured years of below-inflation rises on top of the cost-of-living crisis . " We will back members in local authorities all the way in their fight for the fair pay rise they deserve . " The RCN 's Jo Galbraith-Marten said of the reported 3 per cent proposal for NHS staff : " Any pay award must be fully funded . Taking resources away from frontline services is unfair on staff and bad for patients . " |

It will be five years in July since Jim Crowley and Mohaather secured Group 1 success in the Sussex Stakes and the pair have combined again , albeit in very different circumstances . Mohaather 's Arkinthestars broke her maiden at Ripon this month in no uncertain terms , pulling eight and a half lengths clear of the runner-up . The breeder of the Karl Burke-trained filly ? A certain Jim Crowley . Sold to Glidawn Stud for 15,000gns at Tattersalls as a foal , the three-year-old was then picked up by owner Nick Bradley and Kelly Burke for ? 45,000 from the following year 's Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale . Crowley said of his venture into bloodstock : " It was my first foray into breeding and it was a massive learning curve , I 'd not done anything like that before . I 'd bought the mare at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Almanzor and I got her with the view of sending her to Mohaather . " Arkinthestars ' dam , Sea The Stars mare , Too The Stars is out of dual 1,000 Guineas heroine Finsceal Beo and won one race for owner George Strawbridge . Too The Stars is a half-sister to Beresford Stakes winner Ol ' Man River and was picked up for 100,000gns by Jeremy Brummitt on behalf of Crowley at the 2020 Tattersalls December Mare Sale with the intention of sending the mare to Shadwell 's top-class miler . " I thought they 'd be an ideal cross for each other and it 's nice to breed a winner , " he added . " I got great pleasure out of watching her win the other day , especially as it was a GBB Bonus race as well . " Too The Stars was sold on at the 2022 December Mares Sale , leaving Crowley with something of a taste for breeding racehorses . " I sold her on in foal to Ulysses , who was unproven at the time . It did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but it was nice to breed a winner . I 'd definitely do it again , I 'm very fortunate to have some nominations to some very nice stallions at Shadwell . It 's something that one day when I 'll stop riding I 'll take more of an interest into . " Crowley was also quick to highlight his admiration for Beech House Stud 's exciting second-season sire , the source of Molecomb Stakes winner Big Mojo and Listed scorers Yah Mo Be There and Merveilleux Lapin from his first crop . " You get a lot more of a buzz breeding a racehorse I think . It was great to see Arkinthestars win the other day and hopefully she can go on for Karl Burke . It looks like the stamina has come from the dam side , but I 'm a big fan of the stallion , hence why I bought her to go to him . I think he 's an exceptional stallion . " He was a very good racehorse and his conformation was good , I had great belief in him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Newmarket I try to pop in and see him , Baaeed and Mostahdaf too . " Having started the British turf season with Gordon Richards Stakes success on old-timer Al Aasy and steered the blue-blooded Alfareqa to her first success at Doncaster , it appears there is plenty to look forward to for Shadwell and Crowley in the months ahead . Crowley added : " We 've got some beautifully bred horses coming through and I 'm looking forward to riding them . There 's a particularly nice Dark Angel with William Haggas who has a beautiful pedigree called Almeraq. " |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'Republic Airways Flight 4514' is the NP subject, 'forced' is the V1, 'to back' is the NP object, and 'out of touching down' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also gives rise to a prevention interpretation, as the flight was prevented from touching down due to the helicopter. The verb 'forced' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure, and the NP object 'to back' functions as a causee. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

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

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'took the time out of enjoying the sunshine' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes an action (taking time) that interrupts another action (enjoying the sunshine), which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The last time residents of Balderstone and Kirkholt went to the polls in May 2024 , only a quarter of those eligible to vote actually bothered to vote . Dale went on to say that damp and mould in people 's homes is a massive issue and welcomed any politician to come in and support those suffering .

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim must be given time to build " his own team " but has the right mentality to succeed in the Old Trafford pressure cooker , according to Red Devils great Peter Schmeichel . Ad It has been a rocky start to life in the North West for Amorim , who replaced Erik ten Hag in November and has yet to truly turn the tide at the club . Man Utd sit 14th and are on course for their worst Premier League season ever but the Europa League offers them a chance to salvage their season . Winning Europe 's second-string club competition would mean Amorim 's side are playing Champions League football next term and have a huge impact on the transfer business he can do in his first summer transfer window . Man Utd travel to the Basque Country for the first leg of their Europa League semi-final against Athletic Bilbao on Thursday and then host the Spanish club for the decider the following week . Speaking exclusively to Radio Times ahead of his return to Old @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Soccer Aid 2025 , Schmeichel threw his support behind Amorim but suggested a full verdict on the 40-year-old would have to wait until after he had properly shaped the squad . He said : " I think I 've seen glimpses of what can be and how it 's going to look when he gets his own team built . " I like him . I think he comes across as a strong communicator , a strong personality . He 's someone who does n't duck out of anything . " It is really important for a Man Utd manager to show that kind of mental strength , that he 's on top of things , he knows how difficult this is , but you 're not going to wear him down by asking hard questions and he 's going to face everybody . " He 's got his ideas . Are they going to be the right ones for Man Utd ? I think we need to wait until he 's got his own team going . You know , winning just changes everybody 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Of course , not expecting that to be now , but very , very soon . If we win the Europa League , obviously , it 's all going to look a bit different in the summer . " Schmeichel won five Premier League titles , three FA Cups , the League Cup and the Champions League during a decorated eight-year spell at Old Trafford as he established himself as one of the greatest goalkeepers in top-flight history . " You need to be mentally strong to play for a club like Man Utd , " the Dane added when quizzed on his former club 's current struggles . " I 'm trying to explain this to people all the time . What is it ? Why is it so different to play for Man United not Tottenham ? Because they are in similar situations . " The thing is , when you play for Man United , your game has been reported on everywhere . There is n't a single news outlet , newspaper , in the whole world that does n't carry at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the game , and it stays . It goes on for days and days until the next game . " If you play for Tottenham , yeah , if something 's happened , the game might be reported the next day , but the day after that , you do n't talk about it anymore . " That 's a big difference , and there 's only a couple of clubs in the world where it 's like that , Liverpool , Man United , and , to a certain degree , Real Madrid and Barcelona . Then I 'm struggling to find other clubs that live in that space . " Updates from the world of sport on TV , including news , views and how to watch it all live . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee, and the phrase 'out of being helpful' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence involves a transitive out of -ing construction. The structure is 'Blake...threatening to pull out of promoting the domestic violence drama.' Here, 'Blake' is the NP subject, 'threatening' is the V1, 'to pull' is part of the VP2[-ing] predicate, and 'promoting the domestic violence drama' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. The interpretation is prevention, as Blake is preventing something by threatening to pull out. The verb 'threatening' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure. The NP subject is an animate agent, and the construction fits the structural pattern required for the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not exhibit either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it discusses motivations and feelings related to financial comfort and status, which are not relevant to the transitive out of -ing construction.

This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues . It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . The Scottish rapper turned writer has admitted the impact of growing up in poverty has " never left " him . He spoke to The Herald as part of the series on child poverty , where the newsbrand has joined forces with 23 leading charities to call on First Minister John Swinney to take " urgent action " on child poverty . That action would require the Scottish Government to increase the Scottish Child Payment to ? 40 each week , per child . An open letter was also addressed to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer , with The Herald warning the two-child benefit cap must be abolished to make progress . Child poverty is an issue McGarvey is acutely aware of , with his own life experience leading him to become one of the country @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . The Orwell Prize winner grew up in poverty in Pollok , in the south side of Glasgow , raised alongside his siblings by his single father . His mother , who McGarvey described as a violent alcoholic , left when he was 10 and he has battled his own addiction issues . In an extensive interview with The Herald , McGarvey said : " Growing up in the 80s and 90s in the south side in Pollok , I remember it being really , in hindsight , pretty bleak . " There was so much violence in the community , there was so much alcoholism in the community , and it was n't really until the Labour government of 1997 came in , the mood started to change a little bit , community centres started open , there was funding for youth projects . " While all of the stuff did make a difference , in a sense , I think that the fundamentals of our society remain the same in terms of any extra benefits that a poor person is getting , or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " It 's almost like compensation for the fact that society is n't actually changing and that means your postcode still really determines the quality of your education , the quality of your health , and that 's my sort of take on it anyway . " With that , he said , comes a sense of " imposter syndrome " for those from working class backgrounds who are able to escape the cycle . His first book , Poverty Safari , was released in 2017 and received acclaim . It landed McGarvey the Orwell Prize in 2018 for its auto-biographical account of growing up in poverty , while also challenging how the issues are solved . Around that time though , his drug use began to spiral out of control and he subsequently checked into the Abbeycare rehabilitation clinic in Erskine , beginning his recovery journey . His second book , The Social Distance Between us , challenges the divide between decision-makers and society . McGarvey told The Herald the challenge for politicians lies in standing by their commitments while in government and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said his main ambition in office was to eradicate child poverty , with the Scottish Government aiming to reduce relative poverty to 10% . The interim target of 18% in 2023-24 was missed , however . McGarvey said : " Even someone who is sincere about doing it , there is also the electoral calculus that has just got to be taken into consideration . " A lot of the people affected by poverty do n't engage in the democratic process , so they do n't have a voice . " What happens is the politician who is sincere in their desire to alleviate poverty , they first have to get the most affluent voters on voters on board and you do n't get the most affluent voters on board by levelling the playing field . " The playing field has been unfair for so long that levelling it begins to feel like a very personal attack on middle class people and their children . " He uses the example private school fees being subjected to a 20% VAT rate from January this year . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ abolished to tackle the " gross inequality " in the industry . " The people with the sharpest elbows get the megaphones out and the politicians get frightened to stand up to them and this means that you ca n't deal with the poorest until the most affluent feel secure that their medium and long-term interests are being looked after , and they 'll always be looked after no what party is in ( government ) , and that is a result of the electoral reality in this country , " he said . McGarvey also reflected on what it is like to escape the cycle of poverty . " ' I 'm embarrassed to say that there has been points in my career over the last few years when I 've had no real reason to have financial anxiety , but it 's the kind of mindset that you have acquired and you have to work very hard to say ' do you know what , I have enough , I 'm ok . ' " I definitely have at point , particularly early in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in from everywhere , and my first instinct was to enjoy a sense of accomplishment and I guess the power that comes from being the person that can pay for the meal , and the person who can pay for the taxi , who can buy the expensive gifts and take people on holiday , and I think sometimes that was out of a desire to make others comfortable - that 's a genuine part of my nature - but it was also a false sense of esteem that came out of having a feeling of status or being financially comfortable . " It was something that I wanted to exhibit to other people , almost as if me on my own is not enough . " I know a lot of people struggle with that in a materialistic society but I think a lot of us who get into financial problems , coming from poverty , part of having a little bit extra money is the first thing we want to do is to acquire the symbols of affluence so that we could throw people off the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ McGarvey 's third book , Trauma Industrial Complex , is scheduled for release in August and unpacks the mechanics of sharing personal discourse on social media . It should have been a safe space for informed debate , somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day , but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse . heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment .

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('you must talk your way out of being eaten by a vampire'). It involves a prevention interpretation (preventing the event of being eaten by a vampire) and uses a verb ('talk') that fits one of the categories (by means of enticing, flattering, or verbal persuasion). The NP object 'your way' is a possessive way NP object coreferential with the subject, which is an atypical but acceptable type for this construction.

There are a ridiculous number of free PC games out there , so if you 've been looking to save some cash without missing out on some great gaming , we 've got options for you . You can have hours of fun completely free of charge -- especially with the seasonal events and updates that roll out in every free-to-play live service game -- but sifting through them to find what 's worth playing is no small feat . If you do n't know what you 're looking for it can be challenging to find the right game , so we 've split the best free games on PC into specific genres to make the process easier . We 've also taken care to only spotlight the free-to-play games that rely on a battle pass or paid extras as an essential part of the experience . We 're keeping this list updated with all the best free PC games so you 'll always know the next best game to jump into . If you want something to play regularly with friends like Fortnite or The Finals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to pass the time , we 've got everything you need right here . Lunacid - Tears of the Moon - The original Lunacid was a brilliant evocation of FromSoft 's old first-person dungeon crawlers . This follow-up goes one better and actually uses a King 's Field map making toolset . So yeah : this is about as authentic a PS1-era dungeon crawler as you 're going to get , for better or for worse . Dishventory- It 's a strategic card game about doing the dishes , ie , what many of you have been waiting for since the dawn of computer game history . I do n't think this will last you as long as say , Balatro , but it looks like it 'll keep you card-occupied for at least a week , and the art style is unexpectedly pretty . ( Image credit : Embark Studios ) FragPunk - It may @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but FragPunk manages to pack in a very novel card system which can dramatically alter the trajectory of a match . As our reviewer said , " some cards are minor stat changes ; others are so overpowered or unlock abilities so absurd I could n't believe they existed . " Infinity Nikki - Now on Steam , Infinity Nikki is an open-ended , open world adventure that takes some inspiration from Breath of the Wild , though a huge part of the appeal here is in the dressing up . Our review sang its praises while decrying its " infantalising elements " . This is about as cosy as gacha gets . Marvel Rivals - It 's pretty much a roll of the dice whether a new hero shooter will find any success -- Marvel or not -- but so far NetEase Games ' team-based PvP outing has attracted all the love Concord might have wished for . In our 73 / 100 Marvel Rivals review , we noted that it 's very fun , but that NetEase has its work cut out trying to keep it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ MMO going at the moment , with a format that takes inspiration from Zelda : Breath of the Wild , of all things . It 's heavily monetized of course , but you can get a heck of a lot out of this gem without paying a cent . ? ? The Finals - This fast-paced first-person shooter puts you in the center of a game show , and to win the prize you have to defeat the other team . Sounds simple enough , right ? Wrong . The environment around you can be manipulated to both your and your opposing team 's advantage , allowing both sides to create a playstyle that suits them . ? ? Yu-Gi-Oh ! Master Duel - If you do n't have the space or money to collect cards in person , then Yu-Gi-Oh ! Master Duel is your gateway into the strategy card game . Its vibrant visuals and fast-paced battles are bound to sink their claws into you and keep you entertained for hours . ? ? Counter-Strike 2 - Valve 's hugely anticipated CS:GO sequel released to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with its predecessor . Yep , the skill ceiling is going to be pretty high here -- it 's one of the biggest competitive FPSs in the world -- but if you want to dive in , well , it 's free . ? ? Marvel Snap - The new card game from former Hearthstone lead Ben Brode is unsurprisingly great ( or surprisingly great , as some members of our team have found themselves hooked despite not caring about Marvel ) . It 's in early access on Steam , but we 'd recommend playing it on a smartphone . ? ? ? ? ? Overwatch 2 - Overwatch is now a F2P shooter , and the launch of a big new FPS is an exciting time to play , even if we 're not thrilled about many of its changes . Yes , it 's a bit of a mess , but it 's a fresh one right now . ? Fortnite - Still Fortnite , which means it 's the same and radically different every time we look . Season 4 just launched , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ phase through walls . ? ? Apex Legends - Our go-to battle royale has n't had any big shakeups recently , but it 's still our pick for the best FPS to play on a sprawling , freeform map . ( Image credit : Rusty Lake ) Transmute ! - Play as a wizard who can transform into different objects . You might turn into a key to open a lock , or a boat to sail the open sea . And you 'll do so to unlock a friendly little fantasy world . Mirror Isles - No list of puzzle games is really complete without a PuzzleScript game from Alan Hazelden , and Mirror Isles is one of the very best . It 's a top-down , Sokoban-style puzzler where you have to hop between islands , by using magic mirrors to swap places with your reflection . Cube Escape - There 's a strange atmosphere to developer Rusty Lake 's series of locked room puzzle games .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'run out of' as a phrasal verb followed by a noun phrase 'drinking water', which does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate or the required interpretations (movement/extraction or prevention).

To ease our anxieties , a survival expert has shared seven important items that could save you a great deal of stress should the UK be plunged into darkness . Jonny Crockett has been running the Survival School for 30 years , teaching on all things survival and bushcraft in the great outdoors . He has shared seven things to keep in your home that will help you through a power outage . Here they are . Article continues below Brits are fearing we could face a blackout off the back of Spain and Portugal 's huge power outage ( Image : Getty Images ) Of course , it 's always important to have a first aid kit in your cupboard , and this is especially true if you suspect there could be some sort of disruption on the way . In this modern world , it 's pretty tricky to go a day without using your phone or laptop . For many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thought of going without it for even a night can feel pretty uncomfortable . But what can you do if you plug your device into the wall , only to realise the power is completely dead ? In this instance , battery power packs are your best friend . ? According to Jonny : " This is the thing that you would use to recharge your phone because certainly you need to have a means of communication . " Now , I know that when you 've got a massive power outage , if it 's on the same scale as Spain and Portugal and parts of France , then what you 're looking at is that communication is not working properly as well . " ? Next on the list would be rechargeable torches , which are ideal if you find yourself suddenly navigating the sort of pitch blackness we humans are usually able to drown out with electricity . And according to Jonny , these handy beacons of light could n't be easier to get your hands on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ example as to how easy it is , well , for one , your phone normally has a torch on it . Just a quick tour through Amazon and you can find your page after page after page of rechargeable torches . " ? Necessary for human survival since the dawn of time itself , having access to clean water is absolutely vital . And with this , Jonny would also advise investing in a pump to filter water . He continued : " When you have a look at a lot of the earthquakes , volcanic eruptions , major calamities and disasters , one of the major problems that they have is that they run out of drinking water . ? " So if you 've got a pump , which is going to do a few thousand litres maybe . These things , generally speaking , come in at a couple of hundred quid , but you can get cheaper ones , and the ability to make not good water into good water is spot on . " Offering some reassurance , Jonny said : " Now generally speaking , I mean the power is coming back on in Portugal , Spain and parts of France . So we 're not looking at it being a major crisis really . Yeah , okay , so people are like , ' Oh no , they ca n't get onto Facebook for 24 hours . ? " But actually , we 're not expecting anything where I am at the moment . And if I were to have a look at my deep freeze and fridge and then the cupboards around the kitchen , then I could sustain myself for quite some time .

With this in mind , Jonny urged : " I think what you really ought to have , and this is from a sort of humanitarian point of view , is a list of people who may struggle more than you .

" Make sure to pop a few candles in your drawer for a useful and , potentially , atmospheric light source . Jonny concluded reassuringly : " Really in this day and age unless there is something massively wrong for the western world - like you know some sort of nuclear explosion - it 's not as big a drama as all that . Article continues below " It 's newsworthy certainly but I do n't think that it is worth people getting bent out of shape .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee, and the phrase 'out of pretending...' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'out of' here seems to indicate the source or basis of 'getting good mileage', which is not consistent with the construction's properties.

" This way , " our guide Giovanni Riccadonna pointed to a black , wooded track that wove steeply up from the side of the main road . It was hard to tell whether he was serious , because he 'd been jokingly directing us up vertiginous walking paths and MTB trails all day . Now , though , it was 7pm , and the skies , heavy and dark , had opened . We were supposed to have arrived at our accommodation four hours ago . Thirty kilometres earlier , as the light had begun to soften , we 'd stopped at a viewpoint where a waterfall thundered down to the river below . " Ten kilometres more , " Giovanni had told us . " Plus or minus . " I 'd come to Trentino in northern Italy to ride the Doga alpine cycling route , a 110km course from the foreboding Brenta Dolomites to the shores of Lake Garda . Opened in 2019 , the route is designed to take cyclists through the backroads of wild Trentino , to showcase more of the region 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , I was looking to prolong the cycling season before retiring my bike for the winter . While Europe 's highest mountains had already gained their first dustings of snow , Trentino , with its warmer microclimate , promised brooding Dolomites , pine forests and empty roads . Roadside lakes beckon the eyes to feast on a turquoise delight ( Image credit : Ronny Kiaulehn Photography ) Although the Stelvio and Tuscan hills are more popular with British riders , Trentino is hallowed cycling ground . Home to the Tour of the Alps , its tough Alpine climbs often appear in the Giro d'Italia . Marco Pantani famously won a stage at Madonna di Campiglio in 1999 , before failing a blood doping test and being disqualified . Professional cyclists Francesco Moser , Gilberto Simoni , Gianni Moscon , Matteo Trentin and Daniel Oss all cut their teeth on these rugged roads . " The area never ceases to amaze me , " said Oss in an interview . " The animals and plants around here are unique . If I 'm out riding really early , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exaggerating . We started our ride from Mal ? , a town in Val di Sole , and quickly spotted a deer in the valley . We 'd opted to ride the Doga trail in two days , frontloading the first with 90km . It was raining heavily , so we 'd delayed our departure by half an hour . Our guide Giovanni was a 21-year-old ex-professional biathlete and co-owner of local bike shop CM Emporium . " It will stop , " he promised , looking skyward . Our main challenge was a 25km ascent , passing through Madonna di Campiglio to a refuge at 1,750m . As we turned onto the climb , the sun made its first appearance , spangling through the fir trees and twinkling on the wet road . So far , so sedate . But almost 10km in , we reached a turning point . We 'd opted to take a gravel detour , looping into the forest . Marking the start of the trail was an unmistakable yellow sign : " Bear area : attenzione . " We paused @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ keep riding , " Giovanni advised . " As fast as possible . " The gravel began with a sharp descent but soon began to wind steeply uphill . With ramps of almost 20% and loose , wet gravel , this was no joke : I had to stamp on the pedals to keep moving forwards , snatching moments of recovery before the next incline . Despite the threat of bears , our group splintered . Time began to warp and stretch . I could hear my own labouring breath , the crunch of gravel , the caw-caw of birds . At each stop , I felt the coolness of the wet forest on my skin and savoured the smell of the soil and the fi rs . Occasionally , as if revealed by some magical hand , I caught glimpses , through the parting clouds , of the jagged grey peaks above us . I began to forget about the gradients . When we emerged from the forest at a grassy plateau , we were late . Two donkeys eyed us reproachfully . Up here , preparations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lying by the side of the track .

( Image credit : Emma Magnus ) We were brought back to the real world at Rifugio Malga Ritorto , two kilometres up out of the deserted Madonna di Campiglio , where a warm welcome , a glass of Ferrari , the local sparkling wine , and a view of the Brenta Dolomites awaited us .

" We must make a paceline , " shouted Giovanni . A smooth bike path beside the fast-flowing , slate-blue Sarca river led us through Pinzolo . Soon we were climbing again , curving in a horseshoe around the neighbouring valley . " There is Stenico Castle , " said Giovanni , gesturing to a frescoed 12th-century fortress . " There is Remco Evenepoel , " he nodded to a man in Quick-Step kit ( blatantly not Remco Evenepoel ) riding in the opposite direction . " And there is Rango , the most beautiful village in Italy . " Giovanni 's hometown pride , it transpired , was more than personal bias : Rango , celebrated for its stone porticos and Bleggio walnuts , has been ranked as one of Italy 's most beautiful villages since 2006 .

The grass-topped building is cut straight into the hillside , with seven serene timber-panelled rooms : it was time to get settled in for the night . Our first day of the Doga trail had been an unwieldy , character-building adventure ; our second was a sunny pleasure cruise with enough feasting to satisfy a Roman king . Because we 'd arrived so late the night before , we 'd been given a generous schedule : eight hours for 36km , most of which was downhill . Reader , we were still late . We passed through quiet farm roads , cutting through the sundappled trees and over the lip of the valley . A heady descent brought us to a glittering Lake Tenno . Popular with swimmers in summer , the turquoise water is so clear that , from the cafe above , we could watch the fish as we enjoyed an Aperol Spritz .

Canale di Tenno is stunning ... just do n't tell Giovanni ( Image credit : Emma Magnus ) Overlooking Lake Garda , the medieval village is famous for its barrelled archways and its Christmas markets , where local producers sell carne salada ( cured meat dressed with olive oil ) and fasoi ( oil-seasoned beans ) on the narrow streets . Drying corns and witchy wooden artwork hung suspended from villagers ' windows , with the squares bathed in late September sun . We ate lunch -- plates of pasta , carne salada , sweet , roasted tomatoes and feather-light tiramisu -- on Agritur Calvola 's sun trap terrace , looking out over the lake . Our final stretch on the bike was a 600m hairpinned descent into Arco . Thanks to the thermal winds that sweep Lake Garda , the town enjoys a warmer , Mediterranean climate , extending the cycling season from April until October . Arco is an outdoor lover 's paradise , with streets lined with outdoor shops and cafes crammed with cyclists of all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to our trip . During the ride , Giovanni got good mileage out of pretending that unrideable tracks were part of our route . Actually , it 's a good analogy for how the Doga trail should be enjoyed : with time to stop , to explore -- and to stray off course . This is a land of long lunches and of pausing mid-segment to look at waterfalls and lakes . In the ' shoulder season ' -- September to November , and March to May -- expect varied weather and much debate about layers , but equally the privileged sense of snatching an adventure from winter 's grasp .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'priced out of attending the event' suggests a prevention interpretation, but it lacks a clear NP object that functions as a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Additionally, the verb 'priced' does not clearly fit into the categories of verbs that typically appear in the V1 slot of the construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'priced out of attending the event' suggests a prevention interpretation, but it lacks a clear NP object that functions as a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Additionally, the verb 'priced' does not clearly fit into the categories of verbs that typically appear in the V1 slot of the construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes dogs moving in and out of polling stations without any causative or preventive action involving an NP object and a VP[-ing] predicate. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

In a final message to voters ahead of the polls opening at 7am , Labour chairwoman Ellie Reeves insisted the Government 's plan was " already starting to deliver " . She said : " As voters head to the polls today , there 's a clear choice between Labour with a plan for change to deliver the security working people deserve and renewal for our country , or more of the same chaos voters rejected last year with the Tories and Reform . " Meanwhile , Reform leader Nigel Farage told a rally in Staffordshire on Wednesday night that the elections would see his party eclipse the Conservatives as the main opposition party in England . Predicting a political " earthquake " , he said : " Tomorrow is the day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Labour has sought to cast Thursday 's contest as a test not for Mr Starmer but for Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch , with Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner saying the elections were " predominantly ... the Tories trying to retain seats that are in the shires " . Read our live election blog below ... 23:49Sophie Huskisson Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson , who is speaking on a BBC local elections programme , admits tonight will be a " challenge " for Labour . She is asked about whether any bad results could be a sign of the public 's view of Labour 's first months in powers . She admits a lot needs fixing and the Government is " impatient " for change , just like the public . " Whataver happens tonight , we want to go further and faster in demonstrating the change that we 're bringing to people 's lives , " she adds . Ellie Reeves MP , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ record as polls closed in an election she said was " always going to be a challenge " . She told The Mirror : " These elections were always going to be a challenge , being held largely in areas dominated by the Conservatives , often for decades . That 's why Labour candidates stood on a promise to bring change right across our country . " There are promising signs that the Labour government 's Plan for Change is already starting to turn around 14 years of Tory failure . NHS waiting lists have fallen consistently . Free breakfast clubs are starting to roll out in every primary school . Some 3.5 million workers got a pay rise with the minimum wage increase this month , with pensions rising thanks to Labour 's commitment to the triple lock . " But we know people are n't yet fully feeling the benefit and we are just as impatient for change as the rest of the country . However the results turn out this evening , this Labour government will go further and faster in turning our country @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 22:00KEY EVENT Polling has now closed after millions cast their votes today in the first major electoral test for Keir Starmer since winning power . Voting closed at 10pm in local elections held across England with over 1,600 council seats up for grabs alongside six mayoral contests . There was also a key by-election in Runcorn and Helsby - triggered after the ex-MP Mike Amesbury quit the Commons after an assault conviction . Labour activists and MPs poured into the seat on Thursday where the party is hoping it can cling on in a closely fought battle with Reform UK . At last year 's General Election , Labour won 53% of the vote in the constituency . But Nigel Farage 's right-wing party is hoping to translate its lead in the polls and steal the seat in what would be a major upset for the PM . As 9pm passes , voters have less than one hour left to vote in the local elections @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Doyle The local elections do n't work quite like their general counterparts , as we wo n't be anticipating an exit poll for today 's races . The public will have to wait several hours longer than usual , with the first results likely to come from 2am . The first results will come from the only Parliamentary race - the Runcorn and Helsby by-election - and mayoral races in North Tyneside , Doncaster , West of England , and Greater Lincolnshire . Northumberland council will report the first council results around the same time . The remaining mayoral results will follow between 7.30am and 3pm , with the remaining 22 council results coming just under 24 hours from now . 19:15Liam Doyle Voting is now set to close in under three hours , with Brits going to the polls across te country to have their say on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first since the general elections that placed Sir Keir Starmer in Number 10 last year , and will primarily be used to decide who serves in 1,600 contested seats across 23 councils . Also up for grabs are six mayoral positions , and a Parliament seat representing Runcorn and Helsby . To vote , people will need to go to the polling station listed on the poll card they received in the post ahead of today , and a photo ID . Valid photo IDs are documents like a passport , driver 's licence , and some types of photo bus pass like an older person 's bus pass . Polling stations will remain open until 10pm today . 18:22KEY EVENT Millions of voters in England will head to the polls today for the local elections - the first major vote since last year 's General Election . Results are expected to start coming in from 2am , and there will be no grand exit poll revealing like in the General @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ elections including details of key battles and projected declaration times from the LGIU and PA . As voters continue to arrive at the polls in the last few hours of polls being open - there are currently four to go until closing - we have more photos of their dogs accompanying them . Dogs have filtered in and out of polling stations all day ( Image : PA ) Animals are n't always allowed to accompany voters inside , although exceptions are made occasionally for dogs . 17:09Liam Doyle The clock has just passed 5pm , meaning voters have just under five more hours to pass their ballots before polls close across the country at 10pm . People have just under five hours to vote in today 's elections ( Image : Joseph Raynor/ Reach PLC ) 16:40Liam Doyle Many Brits hitting the polling station today will make their journeys in a stifling heat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ today . The Met Office confirmed it saw the hottest start to a May on UK records today as temperatures hit 28C in Kew Gardens , southwest London . The mercury broke the previous 27.4C record by 0.6C , and temperatures could climb higher throughout the rest of the day . The agency predicts there is a 30 percent chance that the mercury could reach 30C , with several areas in southeast England seeing 29C . 15:46Liam Doyle While the polls are still open for several more hours today , people who believe they wo n't have time to cast their ballot in person can still vote by proxy . Proxy voting allows people to nominate someone else to cast their vote in their place in the event of unforeseen circumstances , and is usually arranged some time before voting day . People have just over an hour to apply in the event of an emergency , with the deadline being 5pm today . Applications must be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ both the voter and intended proxy must have already registered to vote . 15:02Antony Clements-Thrower People up and down the country are out today to vote in the local elections - and many have continued the craze of taking their dogs along - but someone went a bit left field . Many have shared pictures of their beloved pets outside polling stations , with several pictures of dogs smiling in the sunshine . But in Warwickshire one person chose to take their pet who might have to rush to make the 10pm deadline . Warwickshire County Council said : " We 've heard of #DogsAtPollingStations but how about - a tortoise at a polling station ? ! One of Warwickshire 's polling station staff shared this photo of their tortoise , Flash , inspecting the polling station sign . You may be wondering why people are out at the polls but local elections are not happening in your area @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the same time . Local governments may elect all councillors every four years or half every two . Yet more may elect a third every year for three years , when there is a break . Twenty three councils are holding them this year , with six mayors . 13:55Ryan Fahey While local councillors are usually unknown to the wider public , this year there are a few names that may be a little more recognisable . Rather than passionate local activists or party loyalists , Olympians and former MPs will see their names on the ballot paper . The first is the son of ex-Aston Villa and Bulgaria captain , Stiliyan Petrov , whose dad has the same name . He is standing for Reform in the local election . Double Olympic gold medal-winning rower James Cracknell will be standing as a Conservative for Henley . He previously tried to run for MP . The local Tory party say Cracknell - who was awarded an OBE for services to sport in 2005 - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Luke Campbell , an Olympic gold medalist boxer , is Reform 's candidate for Hull and East Yorkshire 's mayoral election . Campbell scooped the gold back in 2012 at the London Games . Possibly the most-surprising name on the list is 2020 Love Island star Ollie Williams , who is hoping to win Reform 's place on Cornwall Council . Williams sparked controversy after being photographed posing beside dead animals , with him being accused of trophy hunting . He racked up thousands of complaints after his animal hunting was revealed ( Image : Instagram ) 11:58Ryan Fahey People are voting todaying amid woeful levels of confidence about the economy . Pollsters Ipsos reported this week that " net economic optimism in Britain has fallen to the lowest levels ever recorded since Ipsos began collecting this data in 1978 " . It found " 75% of Britons expect the economy to get worse over the next 12 months ( up 8ppts since last month ) , and just 7% @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bode well for parties who could take flak for their management of the economy in recent times . 10:40Ryan Fahey The majority of the seats being fought over today were last contested in May 2021 . In the 2021 local elections , Labour and the Liberal Democrats suffered , losing seats to the then more popular Conservative Party . Across the 23 local authorities , the Tories held more than half of the seats as of March 31 . Labour held just 17 per cent while the Lib Dems held 13 per cent . Reform had just one per cent at the time . 09:58Ryan Fahey Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has insisted the Tories deliver " better services for lower taxes " in her final message to voters . She said : " If you want a great council , do n't just hope for it , vote for it .

A total of 1,641 council seats are up for grabs across 23 local authorities while four regional mayors and two local mayors will also be elected . A key by-election is also taking place to choose a new MP for the constituency of Runcorn & Helsby after the ex-Labour MP Mike Amesbury resigned . Kemi Badenoch 's Tories are bracing for an electoral wipeout with experts warning the Conservatives could lose hundreds of councillors on Thursday . Many of the seats up for grabs were last contested in 2021 when ex-PM Boris Johnson was benefiting from a Covid " vaccine bounce " in the polls .

Business rates - a tax put on commercial premises - are also used to raise revenue . 07:39Ryan Fahey There are a number of things voters can and ca n't do when they go to the polling station . Bearing these in mind could help make the voting process much easier . You are allowed to : Mark your ballot paper with your own pen or pencil . Wear clothes with political slogans .

Voted after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You ca n't : Cast your vote at a different polling station to the one on your card . Take photos inside .

However , sometimes exceptions are made for dogs .

Polls will be open between 7am and 10pm on Thursday with the results expected to be declared from the early hours of Friday morning . But votes have been delayed in some areas - including East Sussex and Norfolk - until 2026 due to an overhaul of local government announced earlier this year by the new Labour government . Voters have been warned not to trust " nasty Nigel 's numpties " to run vital local services as polls open across England today . Some 1,641 council seats are up for grabs across 23 local authorities in today 's local elections , while six mayors will also be elected . It marks the first major electoral test since Labour 's landslide general election win last summer . Nigel Farage 's Reform UK are expected to make major gains - with the Tories braced to lose hundreds of seats as the right-wing outfit and the Liberal Democrats squeeze their vote from both sides . But a surge in support from Reform could also prove a headache for Labour , preventing Keir Starmer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the North and the Midlands . A Labour source said : " Do n't trust nasty Nigel 's numpties to run your council . They could n't even run a bath . " Voters across England are being urged to remember their ID when they go to the polling station tomorrow . On Thursday , voters in 23 local authorities in England will go to polling stations between 7am and 10pm to choose their new councillors in the first big test at the ballot box for political parties since Labour won the general election in July 2024 . A total of 1,641 council seats across the 23 authorities are up for grabs , as well as contests for six mayors in England . The first by-election of this Parliament , for Runcorn & Helsby , will also be held after former Labour MP Mike Amesbury quit . The politician resigned after being convicted of assault after a 3am brawl on the street . Reform UK and Labour are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first test since taking power in double electoral challenge Voters will go to the polls on Thursday as Labour faces its first electoral test since taking power last year . Sir Keir Starmer 's party faces a twin challenge of localelections across England and a by-election in Runcorn and Helsby , a seat Labour won convincingly in 2024 but that is expected to go down to the wire in a contest with Reform UK . In a final message to voters ahead of the polls opening at 7am , Labour chairwoman Ellie Reeves insisted the Government 's plan was " already starting to deliver " . She said : " As voters head to the polls today , there 's a clear choice between Labour with a plan for change to deliver the security working people deserve and renewal for our country , or more of the same chaos voters rejected last year with the Tories and Reform . " Labour has sought to cast Thursday 's contest as a test not for Sir Keir but for Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch , with Deputy Prime @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Tories trying to retain seats that are in the shires " . Mrs Badenoch has conceded that the scale of the Conservative victory when these councils were last up for election in 2021 means losses are likely . But in her final message to voters , she said : " If you want a great council , do n't just hope for it , vote for it . Further polls will be held in eight unitary authorities : Buckinghamshire , Cornwall , Durham , North Northamptonshire , Northumberland , Shropshire , West Northamptonshire and Wiltshire . An election is also being held in one metropolitan council , Doncaster . A major test for each of the parties will be the six mayoral contests in the West of England , Cambridgeshire and Peterborough , North Tyneside , Doncaster , Greater Lincolnshire , and Hull and East Yorkshire . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction.

An ex-car-wash attendant who made seven figures for simply looking like David Beckham almost lost the lot through alcohol . Spurs fan Andy Harmer was never quite able to cut the mustard on the same level as the Manchester United and England legend , peaking at Eastbourne United , who currently play in the ninth tier of English football . However , the 46-year-old confessed that he could have trounced Becks in a drinking competition . While Beckham is set to celebrate his 50th birthday on Friday , Harmer says that he feels lucky just to be alive after years of drinking through his work as a lookalike . As per the Mirror , he said : " A year ago , I had a heart attack and had to be resuscitated nine times and was fitted with a stent . " I 'd actually given up drinking eight months before , but I 'm sure my heart attack was down to my rock and roll lifestyle . I was a mix between David Beckham and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of wine a night . " The West Sussex native was working as a car wash attendant at 18 when he started receiving comments on his likeness to England legend Beckham . Soon after , he signed up for a lookalike agency and started raking in as much as ? 75k each year over the course of two decades . And Harmer even had a lookalike girlfriend in Camilla Eldridge for a year or so , who was the mirror image of Beckham 's wife , Victoria . Speaking on meeting celebrities through his work , Harmer said : " I 've met Ronnie Wood from the Rolling Stones - he actually asked me and Camilla for a photo and I think he thought we were the real Posh and Becks when he first met us . " I was often asked to stand in as David 's double and met David Beckham briefly while filming an ad for Pepsi . We only really had a chance to say a quick hello .

" Thankfully , the three were able to engage in light-hearted banter rather than seeing tensions . He added : " I 've also smoked a fag with Wayne Rooney . " It was at a footballer 's party in Liverpool and we were doing shots together .

Harmer and Camilla were together for a year and enjoyed a number of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ When we were on the front cover of OK magazine , people complained because they thought we were the real couple and it was misleading . " Harmer also travelled to more than 30 countries for work , received a record deal in Japan , and appeared on a reality TV show aired on Channel 4 and Netflix . Now retired from his career as a doppelganger , Harmer runs a successful agency in Eastbourne called Lookalikes . On winding down his personal venture , he said : " I was around 40 when I stopped making money out of looking like Beckham . Andy Harmer is now retired as a David Beckham lookalike ( Image : Jonathan Buckmaster ) " I always knew it was something I could n't , and did n't want to do forever .

" I 've always been quite entrepreneurial and , in a way , was looking forward to finding out what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ started my agency , and when it became more sustainable , it took the place of my lookalike work . " Speaking about the lows of his job , he added : " A lot of the jobs you go to are parties and there 's free drinks flowing . And working as a lookalike can be quite daunting , especially when walking into a room with thousands of people scrutinising you . " I 'd be out partying most nights , and a bit of Dutch courage helped . Red wine was my poison of choice , but to be honest , I 'd drink anything . I 'd start off on red wine , but then I 'd move on to double vodkas , shots , and cocktails . I drifted away into this world of parties , attention and glamour . You only realise after - it creeps up on you . " When I retired as Beckham 's double , my addiction to alcohol got worse , and then we had lockdown , which did n't help .

Around that time , I went on This Morning and some viewers were really cruel , saying I looked nothing like Beckham , that I was the worst lookalike ever and that I was a fat David Beckham . " After the recession of 2008 , work started to creep away from Harmer , so he walked the streets of Brighton with a sign that said ' Busk it like Beckham ' . He continued : " People would gather around to watch me do tricks and have their photo taken with me - it got me out of a quiet period . " I used to play for a local youth team and then Eastbourne United , so I 'm not too bad at football . And funnily enough , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kicks . " He also crossed paths with Simon Cowell as the Chippendoubles sensation was launched - a group of impersonators who reached the semi-finals of 2010 Britain 's Got Talent . Elsewhere , Harmer also believes that he may share his lookalike credentials with his daughter , Scarlett Rose who he says looks like Harper Beckham . He said : " People say my daughter looks like Harper , but I think she 's more interested in running Lookalikes than making a living as a double for Beckham 's daughter . It was through being a Beckham lookalike that I met her mum . Andy Harmer and his daughter Scarlett ( Image : Jonathan Buckmaster ) " I tell her if it was n't for BGT , you would n't have been born , as I met her mum when we went to Dubai with the Chippendoubles .

" Speaking about the lows of his job , he added : " A lot of the jobs you go to are parties and there 's free drinks flowing . And working as a lookalike can be quite daunting , especially when walking into a room with thousands of people scrutinising you . " I 'd be out partying most nights , and a bit of Dutch courage helped . Red wine was my poison of choice , but to be honest , I 'd drink anything . I 'd start off on red wine , but then I 'd move on to double vodkas , shots , and cocktails . I drifted away into this world of parties , attention and glamour . You only realise after - it creeps up on you . " When I retired as Beckham 's double , my addiction to alcohol got worse , and then we had lockdown , which did n't help . The problem has always been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 18 . The whole glamorous lifestyle and the drinking that came with it just helped me block that pain out . Andy Harmer made a living as a David Beckham lookalike ( Image : ExpressStar ) " I 'd also split up with my daughter 's mum and felt very alone and depressed . Around that time , I went on This Morning and some viewers were really cruel , saying I looked nothing like Beckham , that I was the worst lookalike ever and that I was a fat David Beckham . " After the recession of 2008 , work started to creep away from Harmer , so he walked the streets of Brighton with a sign that said ' Busk it like Beckham ' . He continued : " People would gather around to watch me do tricks and have their photo taken with me - it got me out of a quiet period . " I used to play for a local youth team and then Eastbourne United , so I 'm not too bad at football . And funnily enough , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kicks . " He also crossed paths with Simon Cowell as the Chippendoubles sensation was launched - a group of impersonators who reached the semi-finals of 2010 Britain 's Got Talent . Elsewhere , Harmer also believes that he may share his lookalike credentials with his daughter , Scarlett Rose who he says looks like Harper Beckham . He said : " People say my daughter looks like Harper , but I think she 's more interested in running Lookalikes than making a living as a double for Beckham 's daughter . It was through being a Beckham lookalike that I met her mum . Andy Harmer and his daughter Scarlett ( Image : Jonathan Buckmaster ) " I tell her if it was n't for BGT , you would n't have been born , as I met her mum when we went to Dubai with the Chippendoubles . I feel lucky to be alive to celebrate my 46th . Every day is a bonus . When you have been so close to death , you certainly appreciate being alive . " And I 've @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Elsewhere , Harmer noted how looking like Beckham had helped him be a hit with the ladies , explaining : " And with the men . I did attract a lot of attention from girls during my lookalike years . It was flattering , but at the same time , I felt like they did n't really know the real me , I was a fantasy . " To be honest , I have been single for about nine years and I 'm quite happy . My daughter lives in Birmingham with her mum and I see her every other weekend and on school holidays . The rest of the time I am working and doing my own projects so do n't know where I would fit a relationship in . Maybe in the future , who knows ? " While his own days of looking like Beckham appear in the rear-view window for now , Harmer is set to release a lookalikes book by the end of the year - proving that anything is truly possible in this world .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'taking the expense and hassle out of wedding dress shopping' does not involve a causee NP object that participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to describe removing certain aspects (expense and hassle) from an activity (wedding dress shopping), which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('taking the expense and hassle out of wedding dress shopping'). It implies a prevention interpretation where the action of taking out the expense and hassle prevents the usual negative aspects of wedding dress shopping. The verb 'taking' fits into one of the categories of means (by means of exerting force or pressure, metaphorically). The NP object 'the expense and hassle' is not a causee, but the overall structure and interpretation align with the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'get out of' followed by a gerund phrase 'paying for it', which does not involve a causer and causee relationship or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'get out of' which is a phrasal verb followed by a gerund, but lacks the necessary NP object that functions as a causee in the transitive out of -ing construction. Additionally, it does not clearly convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the construction.

A take on a capsule wardrobe , the premise is that you have just three tops , three bottoms and three pairs of shoes that you can rotate and make multiple outfits from .

But overall I 'm super-impressed at just how many different ways that you can wear some of the simplest pieces in your wardrobe . Only having nine items can seem limiting to some people and I think I may expand my roster of clothes to add a bit more variety , but once you have the basic premise down , there really is so much you can do with the 333 method .

Certainly . I 'll definitely do versions of the method when I go on holiday , or when I 'm switching up my wardrobe for each season , this will be my starting point .

I do think it 's a great system if you want to go back to basics and build a wearable wardrobe . |

You can tailor this technique to different seasons , too , swapping your sandals out for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a satin skirt for something more heavy duty . This way it keeps things a bit more interesting and fresh , but you 're still working your wardrobe in the same way . A downside I did n't foresee was just how quickly you have to turn the washing around -- especially with the T-shirt and shirt , which require more washing than some of the other pieces . But overall I 'm super-impressed at just how many different ways that you can wear some of the simplest pieces in your wardrobe . Only having nine items can seem limiting to some people and I think I may expand my roster of clothes to add a bit more variety , but once you have the basic premise down , there really is so much you can do with the 333 method . I 'll also be adapting it for when I go on holiday , as this kind of method is perfect for a trip away and means a lot less stress when thinking what to pack and what items go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going forward ? Certainly . I 'll definitely do versions of the method when I go on holiday , or when I 'm switching up my wardrobe for each season , this will be my starting point . However , I do LOVE wearing different things and I work in fashion after all , so I think it would be slightly too repetitive for me to use the 333 method every day . I do think it 's a great system if you want to go back to basics and build a wearable wardrobe . |

A new type of tobacco product is finding growing numbers of users around the world , but there are still serious questions about how it affects human health . Having smoked for nearly 30 years since the age of 13 , IT consultant and freelance writer Ben Taylor was intrigued by the sound of heated tobacco products . Attempting to switch from cigarettes to vapes had n't worked for Taylor . " Vaping liquids always left me wanting , " he posted on his blog . So he decided to try IQOS , a sleek , pen-shaped electronic device that heats sticks of rolled tobacco , developed by the American multinational tobacco company Philip Morris International ( PMI ) . Rather than burning tobacco , these devices heat it to a temperature high enough to create a vapour but not smoke . For Taylor , it did n't quite replicate the experience of smoking a cigarette , but it came much closer than vaping -- the other popular cigarette alternative , which uses handheld pens @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tell you 're consuming real tobacco , " Taylor wrote . Over time , he says , he came to prefer IQOS due to the taste , and the lack of a lingering cigarette stench . He also says his previously near-permanent cough disappeared . Yet they are also becoming increasingly common , with next-generation heated tobacco products now available in more than 60 countries . They have experienced particularly notable growth in both Italy and Japan , where they have been present since 2014 . And this growth is expected to continue as they start to penetrate the market in the US . So , is heated tobacco really helping people enjoy nicotine in a less harmful way , or could it be a new public health crisis in the making ? Getty Images Heated tobacco products have grown in popularity in countries such as Japan and Italy ( Credit : Getty Images ) IQOS and other devices like it are the latest iteration of a concept which the tobacco industry has been intermittently toying with for the past four decades . In 1988 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ commercialise the very first heated tobacco product , a device called Premier . Designed to look similar to a conventional cigarette in shape and size , the Premier had a specifically designed carbon tip that users would light to heat the tobacco . But despite a reported $300m ( roughly ? 180m at the time ) in investment , Premier was removed from the market after just six months as users complained about its taste and smell . After various reinventions , heated tobacco products have started to enjoy commercial success in the past decade with a new range of electronic devices that use several methods to vaporise their contents . Typically these involve encasing tobacco in either sticks , plugs , capsules or pods , which are then heated with an electronic element . As well as PMI 's IQOS , leading brands include Ploom , made by Japan Tobacco International ( JTI ) , and glo , made by British American Tobacco ( BAT ) . But independent researchers and public health experts argue that heated tobacco products are still harmful to human health and urge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at some of the marketing strategies , saying that the use of influencers and glamorous launch parties could encourage heated tobacco use among young people , who are more likely not to have smoked before , which could make these products a gateway to cigarettes . PMI , JTI and BAT all insist their products are aimed at adults only . PMI says it has a robust code of conduct that does not allow marketing that appeals to minors such as cartoons , youth-orientated celebrities or models who are or appear to be under the age of 25 . BAT said they carry out due diligence on any influencer partnerships to ensure that a significant majority of their followers are over 18 years old . JTI says it is " committed to the principle that minors should never use or access nicotine-containing products " . It says it ensures it markets its heated tobacco products in a " socially responsible way " in accordance with applicable laws and rules . But Silvano Gallus , an epidemiologist at the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research in Milan , believes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ audience for these products , despite the messaging from tobacco firms . He first started monitoring the rollout of heated tobacco products more than a decade ago . " We began to see the promotion of these products everywhere with advertisements , events and parties , particularly aimed at young people , " says Gallus , reflecting on the initial launch of heated tobacco in the cities of Milan and Nagoya , Japan . In 2019 , PMI suspended a social media campaign involving digital influencers after the news organisation Reuters revealed the company had been using young online personalities to market its products , including a 21-year-old woman , in breach of its own code of conduct . PMI said at the time that no laws were broken , but acknowledged that the campaign failed to meet the company 's standards . Getty Images The devices use sticks , pods , capsules or plugs formed of tobacco and other ingredients that are then heated with an electronic element ( Credit : Getty Images ) Gallus claims that the users of heated tobacco products in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have described their use as widespread among adolescents . " They are n't 60-year-old hardcore smokers looking for an alternative to cigarettes , " he says . But there is concern among public health experts that if young people who have never smoked cigarettes really are drawn to heated tobacco products , it could introduce new groups of people to potentially harmful habits . In 2024 , Gallus and a group of fellow tobacco control researchers in Italy published a study based on data from more than 3,000 Italians aged between 18 and 74 , who they tracked for six months during 2020 . They found that non-smokers who began using heated tobacco products were 5.8 times as likely to subsequently transition to smoking within the six month study period as people who had never used heated tobacco products . But PMI describes Gallus ' study as unreliable and says that heated tobacco can provide a route out of smoking . Gallus and his colleagues acknowledge themselves that their study had a limited sample size and needs to be verified with larger studies . The results may @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which were taking place at the time . Researchers like Gallus , however , view heated tobacco products as a setback in the battle to drive down tobacco use and have accused the industry of cynically targeting young people . They point to the fact that , to date , marketing for IQOS has appeared at music festivals and film festivals in Europe , Asia and South America , alongside high profile partnerships with streetwear brands and fashion designers . It is a concern echoed by the World Health Organization ( WHO ) . In a 2023 summary of evidence , experts at the WHO warned that the lower cost of heated tobacco sticks compared to a pack of cigarettes " undermines the progress made in reducing use that was accomplished by making products more expensive " . The report , which was funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies , an organisation that invests heavily in reducing tobacco use , added that the marketing of heated tobacco products often combined claims of reduced harm relative to cigarettes with " the passion for technology of primarily young people " . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Tobacco-Free Kids -- which also receives funding from Bloomberg Philanthropies -- influencer-driven campaigns on social media platforms such as Instagram , Facebook , TikTok , X ( formerly Twitter ) and YouTube have also played a key role in raising the visibility of IQOS and other heated tobacco brands . A study by researchers at the University of Rochester in the US also found that Instagram posts featuring heated tobacco products often position the devices as lifestyle products by showing them alongside models , swimming pools or a luxury car . Posts with models or lifestyle elements received higher engagement . PMI categorically denies marketing its heated tobacco products to young people and says it does not have an official account on TikTok , while its account on X is used for customer care only . The company also says at least 75% of the audience must be over the legal age for purchasing tobacco products at any third-party events it sponsors . PMI claims 82% of IQOS users are over the age of 29 , according to its own estimates . Getty Images The industry @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ compounds found in cigarette smoke ( Credit : Getty Images ) Some studies have also found that switching from cigarettes to heated tobacco can be beneficial in some people -- such as patients with chronic lung disease . But other scientific research also suggests that heated tobacco products are unlikely to be benign for our health . In 2017 , a group of Swiss scientists published a study disputing one of PMI 's central marketing claims , namely that IQOS is smoke-free because of the lack of combustion or burning of the tobacco leaves . Instead , the researchers argue that the emissions from heated tobacco devices should still be considered as " smoke " and should fall under indoor smoking bans in the same way as cigarettes . Their study showed that IQOS tobacco reaches around 330C ( 626F ) , a finding supported by other studies , while a conventional cigarette reached around 684C ( 1,263F ) . In their subsequent analysis of IQOS emissions , they concluded that the heated tobacco vapour also contained harmful chemicals which stem from pyrolysis -- the term @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more similar to cigarette smoke than the company was claiming . " Smokers and non-smokers need accurate information about toxic compounds released in IQOS smoke , " the scientists wrote . PMI was quick to respond to the study , sending the authors a letter disputing many of the results . A subsequent analysis by the FDA also warned there were " significant analytical issues " with the study that made it difficult to compare the levels of harmful and potentially harmful compounds from heated tobacco to those from cigarettes . PMI maintains that IQOS heats tobacco but does not burn it . Other research , however , has examined the type and quantity of toxins present in the vapours produced by heated tobacco . All three of the tobacco companies we spoke to acknowledge that it would be incorrect to say heated tobacco products are safe or risk free At the National Technical University of Athens , chemical engineer Efthimios Zervas has spent much of the past decade painstakingly analysing the chemicals present in the fumes of products including IQOS and glo . He describes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ emitted contain many thousands of different chemicals , in combinations that vary greatly from one product to another . " We try to study as much as we can , but it 's difficult because as soon as we publish our results , this product we 've been analysing has either been modified or is no longer on the market , " he says . " So you 're constantly playing catch-up with the industry . " Still , Zervas has drawn a number of conclusions . As with cigarettes , he has found that heated tobacco products release high concentrations of fine particles , capable of penetrating deep into the body . Other studies have identified known toxins present in the gaseous emissions . Indeed , many toxins and carcinogens were present at far lower concentrations in heated tobacco vapours than in fumes from cigarettes . But Zervas has found others , such as carbonyl methylglyoxal , that he says are actually emitted in higher concentrations by heated tobacco products . " There are toxic products in there , so we can not say that these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ studies have also reported a long list of compounds in the aerosols from heated tobacco -- one study by BAT found more than 120 while another detected 205 compounds in the aerosols , including 82 not seen in cigarette smoke . These include compounds that are the result of heating glycerol , which is one of the ingredients in heated tobacco sticks . The WHO has called for more research to evaluate the effect of these compounds on human health when inhaled at the relatively high levels in heated tobacco aerosols . Conventional cigarettes have long been known to cause serious harm to human health ( Credit : Getty Images ) Such sentiments have been noted by regulators . While the US Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) has authorised PMI to market multiple heated tobacco products , it also declared that this " does not mean these products are safe nor FDA approved " . The FDA also says , " There are no safe tobacco products , so those who do not currently use tobacco products , especially young people , should not start . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spoke to acknowledge that it would be incorrect to say heated tobacco products are safe or risk free . But they say research indicates that they provide a way of reducing exposure to harmful compounds if smokers switch from cigarettes to heated tobacco products . " The majority of risk associated with cigarettes comes from the burning of tobacco and not the nicotine , " says a BAT spokesperson. " glo , while not risk free , does not involve burning tobacco . " Footnotes in their response , however , added that their statement assumes a complete switch from cigarette smoking and notes that their product is addictive and not risk free . " JTI does not market any of its products including heated tobacco products as smoking cessation products , " says a JTI spokesperson . " They are an alternative for smokers looking for products with the potential to reduce the risks associated with smoking . " There are some who question the science that major companies are using to promote heated tobacco products . The European Respiratory Society Tobacco Control Committee published a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ paper states that , while the tobacco industry claims a 90-95% reduction in harmful and potentially harmful substances and toxicity for heated tobacco products , this is not the full picture . Independent research shows these products emit substantial levels of carcinogenic , tobacco-specific nitrosamines , irritants and potential carcinogens , as well as similar nicotine and tar levels to a standard cigarette , the paper states . Some researchers have also cast doubt on the clinical trials conducted by tobacco companies themselves . In 2022 , a systematic review by the University of Bath 's Tobacco Control Research Group -- which receives funding from Bloomberg Philanthropies and are part of STOP , a global tobacco industry watchdog -- concluded that PMI 's clinical trials of its heated tobacco products were of poor quality and at high risk of bias . PMI did not provide a response to these allegations when asked by the BBC , but it characterised the University of Bath 's Tobacco Control Research Group as an " unreliable and inaccurate source of information " . It did not provide any further evidence to support @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ often have a sleek and hi-tech design ( Credit : Getty Images ) With other forms of smokeless tobacco also on the rise , which can be chewed , sucked or snuffed , many anti-tobacco lobbyists are frustrated by the lack of progress . Staying ahead of the proliferation of new forms of tobacco consumption is like playing a game of " whack-a-mole " , says Sandra Mullin , senior vice-president of policy , advocacy and communication at Vital Strategies , an international non-profit organisation that has partnered with governments around the world to develop tobacco control policies . " I was in China in January , and they showed us these new models of heated tobacco products that do n't look like tobacco , they look like a toy , " she says , adding that she would like to have more data that demonstrates whether there are serious health impacts from such products . One aspect that is particularly worrying public health officials , including the WHO , is that these devices may actually encourage people to consume more tobacco . A 2022 systematic review @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ evidence to show they help people to stop smoking . The 2023 WHO report on heated tobacco also warns that the available data indicates that most smokers become dual users and " do not substantially reduce their risk from tobacco products " . " If you 're not actually reducing tobacco consumption , it undoes any potential reduced harm effects , and the industry 's just making money from people twice over , " says Sophie Braznell , a researcher in the University of Bath 's Tobacco Control Research Group and a spokesperson for STOP . PMI claims its own data demonstrates the majority of IQOS users have given up smoking . It estimates 72% of IQOS users are people who have fully switched from cigarettes . JTI and BAT did not respond to questions about dual use of their products . But with IQOS returning to the US , starting with the devices going on sale in Austin , Texas in March 2025 , Yolonda Richardson , president and chief executive of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids , is concerned that more people will become users @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ among younger people while nicotine pouches that are placed between the lip and gum are now showing signs of growing in popularity , with the CDC reporting a substantial increase in nationwide sales in the US since 2016 . However , Richardson says that it may take a long time before the full health consequences become apparent . When they do , it will be exceedingly difficult to pinpoint the underlying source , as individuals will have been exposed to different concentrations of nicotine in different forms , as well as varying sources of tobacco . Zervas argues that the onus should be on the tobacco industry to prove that its products are not dangerous before they 're able to enter the market , rather than the other way round . " It 's like with food or drugs , " he says . " We study them first and , if they 're safe , we allow them . With the tobacco industry 's products , we allow them into the market and then have to prove they 're dangerous , or very dangerous . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to make clear that the FDA issued additional authorisation for IQOS to be marketted in the US in 2020. |

Frank Lampard had been out of work for a year when the England job became available and his name started getting mentioned . He was an outside bet , sure . Eddie Howe was a strong contender , but chose to stay at Newcastle United -- a decision vindicated when he became the first English manager to win a trophy since Harry Redknapp 17 years earlier . Graham Potter , who soared like Icarus until he got burnt at Chelsea , was out of work , and keen . Had the Football Association chosen to follow the Gareth Southgate blueprint of a less proven coach but with oodles of international playing experience , Lampard was an ideal candidate . Instead , the surprise appointment of Thomas Tuchel exposed the deficit of suitable English candidates . Among the slim English cohort , there was n't a Champions League winner , a top-flight champion , a serial trophy hoarder , like Tuchel . And buried beneath feverish debate about England 's first German head coach was a badly damaged pipeline failing to deliver . So when I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I was desperate to know his take -- can the problem be solved ? Is it too late ? Is the pipeline fixable ? Lampard has steered his side away from the relegation zone ( Photo : Getty ) Six weeks after Tuchel was announced , Lampard was approached by Coventry City . They were 17th in the Championship , but when he met the owners he found ambitions aligned . He has guided them to a final-day showdown against Middlesbrough -- " a play-off game before the play-offs " , as Lampard puts it . Five teams can qualify for two spots . Whatever the outcome , Lampard has done a marvellous job -- so do English managers get overlooked ? He has , after all , had to find work outside the Premier League to showcase his abilities . Lampard compares the situation to the influx of foreign footballers joining the Premier League in the 1990s . " It probably started in my playing era when iconic players like Gianfranco Zola and Eric Cantona arrived , then Thierry Henry and many others @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ improved the Premier League brand . " Then the conversation turned to the lack of opportunity for young English talent . Southgate was forever discussing the diminishing percentages of English minutes in the top flight . The FA responded by introducing quotas . Now , the country possesses one of the world 's richest pools of talent . " The reality is , with the international nature of ownerships and sporting directors and how they see it , the pool of coaches around the world is so great and everybody wants to come to the Premier League . It 's very tough to get those jobs . " In 2019 , Lampard was fast-tracked to the top when , after a year at Derby County , he signed a three-year contract as Chelsea 's manager , two weeks after his 41st birthday . He became the club 's first English manager in over 20 years . I met him in the VIP Drake Suite at Stamford Bridge where he was unveiled , describing him as statesmanlike as he navigated questions from a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Buck and director Marina Granovskaia , watched from the front row . I suggested he needed time to achieve the somewhat counterintuitive ambition of restoring Chelsea to the top while bringing through academy players . He was given 18 months . Tuchel replaced him a day later . And he has been fighting his way back ever since . On the line in Coventry 's final game , and the subsequent play-offs , is not only potentially hundreds of millions of pounds , but a season in the top flight for Lampard , another chance to prove his credentials . If he was to do it , he would join Scott Parker , promoted with Burnley , as two more top-flight English additions . With Howe and Potter , that would make four . Throw in Scot David Moyes at Everton and a quarter of managers would be British . Small steps in the right direction for an image that Lampard believes needs rehabilitating . The English coaches in the era before Lampard became typecast as firefighters and relegation miracle workers , compared to their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Lampard is a proud supporter of the ' Every Minute Matters ' campaign ( Photo : British Heart Foundation ) Yet Lampard has a bright mind and is an articulate talker -- closer to the latter characteristics . He is open and honest , and does n't shirk some of spikier themes I throw at him that require thought and delicacy . " There has been a bit of stereotyping of what an English coach is , " Lampard explains . " We had the era of very strong managers in their own ways , of Harry Redknapp , Sam Allardyce , Steve Bruce , David Moyes who 's still working in terms of British managers . " People sometimes move with trends and foreign managers are coming in with different ideas . A lot of English coaches now are working to a high level . " I hope they get those opportunities . People like Eddie Howe and Scott Parker are a great example of that . It 's important those managers get the right respect . " I 'd say to all English @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the door will open . It would be great to see more English managers developing towards the Premier League , putting yourself in the frame for the England manager job through good work . We 'll see how that develops over the coming years , but I 've got faith in young English coaches . " Does the England manager need to be English ? Is " the best of ours versus the best of theirs " still a thing ? Lampard 's view is that international football long passed the point when international manager jobs were the preserve of coaches from that country . As a fervent supporter of England , he is fully behind Tuchel . He knows Anthony Barry , Tuchel 's assistant manager , well . Barry was made first-team coach in Lampard 's second Chelsea spell ; a 38-year-old who certainly falls under the category of promising young English coaches . " After Thomas Tuchel if there can be an English manager up there doing well , that would be great , because there is something nice about that , in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Lampard is quietly doing fine work polishing his own reputation and deepening his experience . He lost a play-off final in his first job at Derby ; working under a transfer embargo he took a young Chelsea side to an FA Cup final and qualified for the Champions League in his second ; he led a successful relegation dogfight at Everton . There was the second interim spell at Chelsea some advised him not to take -- a club in chaos and his bumpiest ride . In many ways , he is doing what he did to make it as a player : grafting to prove his worth . As a West Ham youth player he was , let 's not forget , criticised for being too slow , chubby , lacking technique . He chose Coventry carefully . " You have to sense you can make good impact in the job . We 've got a young squad , at the time we were near the bottom of the table . The first steps were : can we improve to make sure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ five months , he has grown an affinity with the fans -- supporting the British Heart Foundation and Sky Bet " Every Minute Matters " campaign , which has encouraged 270,000 fans to learn CPR , after hearing that Coventry supporters were cycling 60 miles for a fundraiser . " It 's a great football club . I 've seen the fanbase , I feel like I made a good decision . Hopefully we can end the season successfully to show everyone that . " Lampard worked all his life cultivating skills as a footballer that made him one of the all-time great Premier League midfielders . In management , he has barely scratched the surface . Is it hard starting again after all those highs ? Other stars of his generation -- such as Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard -- are struggling to transition . " You have to have a big desire to do it , " Lampard says . " It 's much more consuming than a player 's life . " A long playing career is a great starting base because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Lampard played for some legendary coaches , including Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti . " Working under different managers I tried to take in all those things . " You have to be ready to start from the beginning at certain things . Delivering meetings , understanding things off the pitch which you probably were n't aware of as a player that are very important . And give everything to it . " I respect any ex-players in their decisions , whether they work in the media , or go down different roads . It 's an easier life , generally -- certainly the media is on your time . " This is more demanding but from my point of view I get much more feeling out of coming to work on a training pitch , trying to improve players , trying to win games . " With pressure intensifying to make the play-offs , Lampard has had run-ins with referees recently . He was sent off for confronting referee James Bell after the final whistle of a defeat to Burnley , then critical of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ last match , a defeat to Luton Town . Had they won that game , the final day would not be so stressful . While many rage about VAR in the Premier League , Lampard , who has seen both sides , wants it to be introduced in the Championship . " I respect referees , " he says . " It 's a really tough job . VAR is very controversial , some people love it , some hate it . " There is something beautiful about not having to check when you celebrate a goal . But the support system of VAR , if used right , is a great help . The game is too fast and in my opinion too many decisions are being missed . " We should push for VAR in the Championship . It 's one of the best leagues in the world to watch -- it 's absolutely one of the best in the world to be involved in . And the prizes are too great for promotion and relegation . " |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'backed out of upcoming commitments' does not involve a V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] structure, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Travis Barker joined as drummer in 1998 after original member Scott Raynor 's departure , helping launch the band to mainstream stardom with albums like Enema of the State and Take Off Your Pants and Jacket . He and DJ AM were the only survivors , and Travis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Now , all three original members are back together , with their latest album One More Time , released last year . But for a brief time , Tom was absen from the band . Tom previously left in 2005 to form Angels & Airwaves after Blink-182 split and went on an indefinite hiatus . He left again in 2015 and was then slammed by Mark and Travis . In an interview with Rolling Stone in 2015 , Mark and Travis discussed the split with their " disrespectful and ungrateful " bandmate and revealed that he had backed out of upcoming commitments , which also included recording a new album . " We booked January 5th to go into the studio . On December 30th , we get an e-mail from Tom 's manager saying that he has no interest in recording and that he wants to do his other , non-musical stuff and that he 's out indefinitely , " Hoppus recalled at the time . " There 's a flurry of e-mails going back and forth for clarification about the recording and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ' Tom . Is . Out . ' Direct quote . This is the exact same e-mail we got back in 2004 when Tom went on indefinite hiatus before . " Travis added : " I think he 's just bummed because Mark and I were finally honest . We always covered up for him before ... It 's hard to cover for someone who 's disrespectful and ungrateful . " You do n't even have the balls to call your bandmates and tell them you 're not going to record or do anything Blink-related . You have your manager do it . Everyone should know what the story is with him and it 's been years with it . " Despite the bad blood between the former bandmates , Mark and Tom were " able to completely repair " their friendship as the years went on . " The way the universe works is strange because I reached out to Mark because I needed him to sign this piece of paper that had to do with my divorce , " DeLonge said in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Only because of that call did I learn he had cancer . And he told me on the phone . I was like , ' Wait , what ? " He added : " We were n't really talking much at all , maybe once every couple of months , a little text here and there . But now , we talk multiple times a day . " We 've been able to completely repair that friendship and really cut to the depth of who we are as people and what this is all about . " Travis and Mark continued to make music without Tom for years , but fans often wondered if he would ever make a return . That question was later answered in October 2022 , when it was revealed that he had rejoined the band . |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'Leffman' is the NP subject, 'ruled' is V1, 'herself' is the NP object, and 'running for parliament again' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. The NP object 'herself' is coreferential with the subject 'Leffman', which is an atypical but acceptable type of NP object in the transitive out of -ing construction. The interpretation is a prevention interpretation, as 'Leffman' is preventing herself from running for parliament again.

In the 2005 general election , Liz Leffman stood against David Cameron in the Tory heartland of Witney , Oxfordshire , and watched the future prime minister storm to a victory that would eventually usher in 14 years of Conservative rule . On Friday it was the 76-year-old Liberal Democrat councillor 's time to enter the history books as she led her party to an unprecedented overall majority in the local elections , obliterating the Conservatives on her way . For the first time since its inception in 1974 , Oxfordshire county council is yellow . " A lot of people with young children and families in the area are now voting Liberal Democrat and that 's why we have won , " Leffman , a former businesswoman , said after all the ballots had been counted on Friday afternoon . " There has certainly been a demographic shift and people want an alternative . " Ed Davey , the leader of the Liberal Democrats , said they were on course to overtake the Tories in parliament at the next election . He said his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ country and were the " only party hold up against Reform " . Advertisement Fresh from a cricket match , he added : " The Tories look like they may be in their last innings . We would only need to take 25 seats off them to overtake them in parliament at the next election . " Leffman 's journey from an unsuccessful candidate who received a drubbing from the Tories to the one administering the drubbing is more than just personal . Over the past 20 years Oxfordshire has gone from a collection of safe Tory seats -- home to the Chipping Norton set -- to a county so repulsed by the blue rosette that some veteran councillors could not even face turning up to Friday 's count to hear their result . " If Oxfordshire was a piece of Blackpool rock and you cut it down the middle , it was blue right the way through , " Bob Johnston , a longstanding Lib Dem councillor in the county , said . After four decades in local politics , Johnston should know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not seek re-election this year , aged 81 . " But the Tory party has begrudgingly aged and it has n't replenished the younger vote , who do n't vote Tory any more . They have not forgiven the Conservatives for what they did during their last few years in power . I think we offer a more open view of society , we are internationalist , and young people are very internationalist , whereas the other parties are very much not . " Oxfordshire county council was this year made up of 69 seats and the Lib Dems scraped an overall majority with 36 , up from 21 in the last local elections when they formed a coalition with Labour and the Greens . Cambridgeshire and Shropshire also went from no overall control to Lib Dem . Celebrations in Oxfordshire TOM PILSTON FOR THE SUNDAY TIMES Leffman 's Lib Dems gained most of their seats from the Tories , who won 21 in the 2021 local elections . This year they won ten . " I think in large measure it 's down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that record , " said Eddie Reeves , the local Tory party leader who lost his seat by 53 votes . Advertisement On the doorstep , residents mentioned " the boats " , despite Reeves 's plea that there was very little he could do about them . Housing was also a major issue , with the Lib Dems appealing to " proud Nimbys " , he said . The results were delivered at a leisure centre in Abingdon , where , behind the closely guarded doors of the election count , families were going about their normal lives -- children rushing to after-school swimming lessons , parents patiently waiting on the sidelines . One of them was Rob , 46 , who moved to the area in 2021 from the Lib Dem London stronghold of Twickenham , west London , bringing with him his liberal views on the environment , international aid , and more funding for local state schools . " I stand for the liberal ideas that the Liberal Democrats stand for , " Rob , who voted for the party locally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Advertisement " It 's no surprise it 's gone Lib Dem . It 's a repeat of the trend that happened at the general election last year . I think people want some change . I 'm a privileged person and I have a good job but ultimately I want a party that 's going to provide good services , schools , and a nice environment for my kids to grow up in . " The Lib Dems know he is not alone . Several figures in the party put Friday 's success down to the young families like his flocking out of cities for more space , affordable housing , and better schools . Local party campaigners and activists attended the celebratory cricket match ANDREW MATTHEWS/PA " There are young couples moving out of London or Oxford city centre because it 's too expensive into areas like Witney who are progressive and refuse to vote Tory , " says Charlie Maynard , the Lib Dem MP for Witney who was elected last year . Maynard , 54 , managed to do what Leffman could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Conservatives , overturning a significant majority in the process . " These young families want a forward-looking , dynamic future . They want an economy that is moving and the Tories do not know what to do with our economy , " Maynard added . Reeves agrees , to some degree . " I think it is perfectly fair to say post-pandemic a lot of people did migrate from London to the near countryside and we are prime territory for that , anywhere between 45 minutes and an hour from central London , " he said . Advertisement And they brought their anti-Tory sentiments with them ? " Yes , and they are entitled to bring that in a democracy . I make no complaints about this result . The public can not be wrong , " he said . The Lib Dems have focused their efforts on issues that matter to voters : " Potholes and drains " DINENDRA HARIA/LNP The 40-year-old solicitor voted for Kemi Badenoch as leader , a decision he is now " faithfully reflecting " on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has a limited amount of time to make good on her campaign pledge to renew the party . If she does n't , someone else will . " He also claimed that were it not for Reform splitting the vote , his party would have been the largest . " I 'll give you three reasons why I voted Reform : immigration , immigration , and immigration , " said Paul Vickers , a 78-year-old former Tory voter , in Witney town centre . While Reform , changing demographics , and national politics have all undoubtedly played a part , Leffman puts her party 's success down to its efforts in addressing the issues that really matter to locals over the past four years : " potholes and drains " . Leffman has ruled herself out of running for parliament again , but is confident her younger colleagues will , with greater success than she had 20 years ago . " We have always been really strong at local elections but I do hope this is the beginning of something big , " she said . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'take the hassle out of going to the seaside', where 'the hassle' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', and 'going to the seaside' is a gerund phrase but not a VP2[-ing] predicate with a causee. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the sentence does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The Thrustmaster SimTask FarmStick X is about as niche a gaming accessory as you 'll find . Designed for farming and construction sims , this modified joystick wo n't be for everyone , but for the right gamer , and in the right setup , it 's capable of delivering a tractor 's bucket load of fun and value . The Thrustmaster SimTask FarmStick X is a new take on the classic gaming joystick with a very specific job to do . A three-axis joystick supported by a plethora of buttons and inputs , this Xbox and PC-compatible accessory feels at home on a worksite , not a runway , and more specifically , it 's heading straight for the farmyard . That means a large multifunction joystick with a mini-stick , thumbwheel , and dual triggers , 33 mappable action buttons , and a hand throttle . Plus , there are Hall effect sensors powering the ambidextrous joystick , so there should be plenty of precision control and longevity on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the box , it 's here where I spent most of my time with the FarmStick X , and while I 'm an admittedly very amateur farmer , I had a pretty good time . I 'll admit the benefit of the joystick itself was n't always immediately obvious , and there were a few teething hiccups , but in the right machinery it proved a total gamechanger . Common actions were physically and metaphorically closer to hand and not needing to manually bind these , saw me near enough jumping straight from the main menu to fishing a skid-steer loader out of a river - more on that later . It 's clear the FarmStick X is targeting die-hard Farming Sim enthusiasts , but with manually configurable inputs it 'll work as a button-rich joystick across a wide range of other simulation games too . So while this agricultural controller sits nearly alone in the market for its primary function , it 's up against some stiff competition from more generic HOTAS accessories and Logitech 's Farm Simulator Heavy Equipment Bundle . ( Image credit : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and availability List price : $129.99 / ? 99.99 / ? 119.99 Limited retail availability outside US or Canada Requires additional hardware purchase for Xbox compatibility A familiar-looking device , the Thrustmaster SimTask FarmStick X is the second generation of the joystick that first arrived at the end of 2023 . Fast forward to the start of 2025 , and the new iteration maintains all of the original FarmStick 's features while welcoming Xbox console compatibility . The X on the end probably gave that away . That X will cost you $30 more than the previous PC-only edition and sees the FarmStick X rise to $129.99/ ? 99.99/ ? 119.99 . While on its own , that price is reasonable and slots it neatly in just below more flight-focused HOTAS hardware and joysticks , that 's not quite the full story . On PC , there 's no extra purchase required ; you can pair the FarmStick X with keyboard controls or additional hardware like a wheel . On Xbox , however , Thrustmaster makes quite a strong point of noting that you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accept the FarmStick X , plus you 're limited to Farming Simulator 25 as the only compatible game . That skews the value proposition quite heavily for console players and raises the realistic minimum cost to somewhere north of $300 . In testing , however , I was able to use the FarmStick X without a wheel and in partnership with a standard Xbox Series X controller . This was expectedly awkward , and I certainly would n't recommend this setup , but it seemed possible . Hall effect three-axis joystick with mini thumbstick and triggers 33 mappable buttons and throttle control Xbox Series and PC compatibility ( requires extra hardware on Xbox ) While it may be destined for the farmyard , there 's something distinctly fighter jet about the design of the Thrustmaster SimTask FarmStick X. The gunmetal grey base and electric orange accents are striking , and I got a real old-school vibe as soon as I took it out of the box . This , unfortunately , was n't a case of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bit dated and lacked any sort of premium feel . Most of this is down to material choice more than color ; the FarmStick X is almost entirely plastic , and the base is noticeably hollow . Now I 'm not suggesting this needed a full carbon fibre chassis and titanium accents , but not all plastic is the same , and I ca n't help but feel Thrustmaster cut back a little in this area . Even a wafer-thin metal shell over the base would have made a huge difference . The buttons on either side of the base also suffer as a result of material choices ; the hard molded plastic buttons are nothing more than fine . They do the job , but would have been better with rubberised caps in my opinion . The smaller buttons on the FarmStick X 's joystick are rubber and feel much better to use as a result . More of those next time , please , Thrustmaster . The SimTask FarmStick X 's main event is the large joystick , and once again , it 's all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a result . I wo n't go as far as to say it feels like a toy , but a little rubberisation would have been far more comfortable , provided more grip , and felt more high-end in your hand . The ambidextrous shaping is nice to see ( shout out to the lefties ) , and I found it comfortable to hold for extended sessions . It is quite thick , however , I have reasonably large hands , so this worked out well for me , but younger or smaller wannabe farmers might not be as pleased . Tucked away on the rear of the base is an array of connections , including the all-important USB-C port for connecting the FarmStick X to your PC or console . You 'll also find a couple of ports for expanding your ecosystem - a DIN port and an RJ12 port for a TFRP rudder . Finally , a toggle switch for flicking the FarmStick X between Xbox and PC compatibility mode . ( Image credit : Future/Alex Berry ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mappings often need manual configuration More suited for experienced players than beginners Like many people , I 've dabbled in Farming Simulator a few times in the past , taking inspiration more from Jeremy Clarkson than Kaleb Cooper , however . I tend to jump into a fresh multiplayer session with a friend , mess around causing mischief in the field , try as many machines as possible , and that 's that . It 's great fun , and those past experiences made me curious of what the Thrustmaster SimTask FarmStick X would bring . Racing games are made immediately more enjoyable for even the most casual players by adding a wheel and pedals , but is the same true of adding a joystick to Farming Simulator 25 ? After a few hours of messing around causing mischief in a field and trying as many machines as possible , the answer is : yes , sort of . I started on PC , and it was n't as smooth an introduction as it should have been . The Thrustmaster SimTask FarmStick X is only pre-configured @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my experience , this still needs polishing up . Some keybinds did n't do anything , others that claimed to do one action but actually did another , and some buttons I struggled to find at all . A lot of the difficulty here comes down to a mismatch in labelling , the game refers to each button with a number , and while some of these are printed on the physical device , most are n't , meaning I had to have the PDF manual open on my second screen . I 'm sure you 'd get used to it pretty quickly , particularly if you take the time to map your own buttons , but as a casual gamer , this was frustrating . On Xbox , initially things felt much more polished , though I quickly realised it 's a far shallower experience in the long run . Here , the keybinds that were mysteriously mismatched or missing entirely on PC were present and correct , which I was thankful for , as there 's no ability to adjust or manually change keybinds on console @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is which by yourself ; those slightly helpful number labels are now gone entirely , however , so it 's really a case of press and hope until you get your bearings . Once I 'd got the hang of which buttons did what , however , my experience did improve . I paired the Thrustmaster SimTask FarmStick X with the brand 's T128 SimTask wheel and pedals across both PC and Xbox , and as a combo , they work well . I did find uses for the FarmStick X 's joystick somewhat limited , however , and while it lends itself well to cranes and front loader machinery , for general farming activities , I found myself more focused on the wheel . The FarmStick X itself felt like a niche add-on rather than a necessity , and it was n't an immediate gamechanger like a steering wheel and pedals are . ( Image credit : Future/Alex Berry ) That said , having found myself with an urgent need to retrieve a skid-steer digger from a river ( how it got there is n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Controlling the various functions of an excavator 's arm with the three-axis joystick was wonderful , and I do n't think I could have replicated this experience with other devices . The Hall effect sensor offered precise and responsive control in all directions , with just enough resistance in the stick itself to feel like I could hold position without needing to fight it . For experienced farmers with existing wheel setups they know like the back of their hand , the Thrustmaster SimTask FarmStick X will likely offer plenty of extra value and add a new dimension to gameplay . This is definitely a die-hard 's accessory for those who have moved well beyond the basics of farming and are not one for the masses . In an attempt to unearth a little more value for a casual gamer , I swapped out of Farming Simulator and over to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 to see if the FarmStick X could hold its own as a generic joystick option , too . Again , the answer is sort of . The stick was immediately recognized by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ joystick axis to be manually configured . After a few minutes of fiddling , I 'd bound throttle and basic rudder controls and was able to take to the skies . Much like my river escapades , the FarmStick X 's joystick felt responsive and offered a great level of control . I 've no doubt if you can invest the time in properly mapping every button , the FarmStick X would work just fine across any number of joystick-suited simulation games . Sadly , this option only exists for PC players as the FarmStick X refuses to play nice with other titles . I 'm curious as to why , though , having been told I needed a wheel to use the joystick , only to discover it worked happily with just a controller , I could n't help but push my luck . Full of hope , I fired up Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on Xbox too , and to my surprise , the game immediately recognized the FarmStick X as a generic joystick input . I was able to select it in menus and manually @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ validate it was capturing input data correctly , it was working - until it was n't . Having cobbled together a couple of basic binds , I jumped in a plane to find that while the FarmStick X was sending commands to Flight Sim 2024 , and the game happily knew what they meant , it then did nothing with them . I do n't know why it works in menus but not in the game itself , and I 'm aware it 's not officially meant to , but I ca n't help but feel there are some licensing executives in expensive suits stopping this from happening rather than any genuine compatibility problems . It 's a shame because it makes the FarmStick X harder to recommend for console players , being limited to preset binds in a single game is a far tougher sell , and means Xbox users are paying more to get less than their PC-only friends in the next field over . ( Image credit : Future/Alex Berry ) You love a simulation gameWhile it 's designed for Farming Simulator 25 , the FarmStick X can be manually configured to work with just about any joystick-compatible game . You 'll need to invest a little time to get your mapping right , but there 's definitely value here away from the farm . You 're a casual Farming Simulator playerThis is quite a niche piece of hardware that only improves certain aspects of the game in a relatively limited set of machinery . It 's also only pre-configured for Farming Simulator 25 , and even then , those results are mixed . You do n't have a wheel and pedalsThe FarmStick X is an add-on to an existing wheel system rather than a controller capable of holding up on its own . Despite what Thrustmaster claims , you could technically bodge together a control @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or Xbox , but this is awkward and a setup I would n't recommend it . Not sure if the Thrustmaster SimTask FarmStick X is the right choice ? Here are a couple of other flight stick options you might consider instead . Note : The FarmStick X is quite a unique and specific device , so there are n't a plethora of truly like-for-like options to explore . Instead , these alternatives are more flight-focused , and while they will require manual keybinding in-game , each offers the same core joystick and button functionality . However , we are in the process of reviewing farming-sim specific gear from the likes of Logitech and Hori , and will update this section when those reviews are live . Also consider Thrustmaster Sol-R Flight StickMore sci-fi than soybean , the Sol-R flight stick could be a good choice if you 're looking to play more than just Farming Simulator 25 . It offers the same Hall effect technology for precise joystick controls with a slightly different array of secondary inputs , plus it 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ farm machinery well . Also consider Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flight StickWhile again it 's designed primarily as a flight stick , you could manually bind the VelocityOne as an alternative to work the fields . There are fewer mappable buttons here , but onboard HOTAS controls alongside a multi-axis joystick could prove useful for controlling some farm machinery . I primarily tested the Thrustmaster SimTask FarmStick X as part of a gaming PC setup with an Intel Core i9 14900k CPU , AMD Radeon 9070XT GPU , and the Thrustmaster T128 SimTask wheel and pedal set . I initially jumped into Farming Simulator 25 to test the out-of-the-box button mappings before making manual tweaks and binds via the in-game menu where necessary in order to fully utilize the FarmStick X 's features . I often test products by streaming games on Twitch , and if you want to see how I got on with using the FarmStick X to operate a crane precariously close to a river , well , I 've got you covered . After around @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 to see how it would perform out of its comfort zone . Throughout my time using the FarmStick X , I paid close attention to how the joystick in particular responded to inputs , as well as attempting to trigger false or missed button inputs . I then moved to the living room and fired up my Xbox Series X and Samsung S90C . Again , I spent the majority of my time in Farming Simulator 25 , this time paying close attention to differences in button mapping and experience between console and PC . I pushed my luck here , officially the FarmStick X requires a wheel for Xbox compatibility , but I ran tests with both the stock Xbox wireless controller and no additional controller inputs connected . I also attempted to use the joystick to play the unsupported Microsoft Flight Simulator 24 via Xbox Game Pass , unsuccessfully .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'bail out of' in a different context, referring to withdrawing from something due to fear, which does not align with the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It lacks a VP2[-ing] predicate and does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a result of an action (being dumped out of qualifying) without involving a causee or a specific means to achieve a goal.

Max Verstappen said he had never paid any attention to " silly " suggestions that fatherhood might slow him down , but he admitted that he was pleased to be able to " chuck that idea out of the window " anyway as he claimed his third pole of the season in Miami just days after the birth of daughter Lily . The four-time world champion pipped McLaren 's Lando Norris to top spot by six hundredths of a second at the Miami Dolphins ' Hard Rock Stadium . It was in the main an encouraging day for the British driver . Norris won a chaotic , rain-affected sprint race earlier in the afternoon and after difficult qualifying sessions in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia , he will take heart from the fact that he beat team-mate and championship leader Oscar Piastri in qualifying for the main race . Piastri qualified fourth , just behind Mercedes ' teenage rookie Kimi Antonelli , who built on his brilliant sprint qualifying performance on Friday -- when he became the youngest pole-sitter in Formula One history -- by again beating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ having complained of having " no confidence in the car " and " sliding everywhere . " At least he is not in a Ferrari . Charles Leclerc was only capable of eighth on the grid and Lewis Hamilton failed to make it out of Q2 . The seven-time world champion , who finished an excellent third in the sprint race earlier in the day thanks to a bold decision to switch to slicks earlier than others , came crashing back down to earth in qualifying . He will start 12th , albeit he was only 0.1sec slower than Leclerc in Q2 , which in one sense represents progress . No one could hold a candle to Verstappen . Having delayed his arrival in Florida to attend the birth of his first child , the Dutch driver was coolness personified in qualifying , eking out more and more with each run . " It clearly did n't make me slower being a dad , so we can chuck that idea out of the window , for those mentioning that , " Verstappen said . " I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . I just do my thing . There have been enough champions in the past after becoming fathers so I do n't know where this came from . " Verstappen added that he had been doing a lot of " facetiming " with partner Kelly Piquet . " It was been good to be able to spend a few days at home when she 'd just been born , " he said of skipping Thursday 's media day . " I just wanted to make sure everything was OK . " Verstappen 's pole would have felt doubly satisfying to him after a frustrating sprint race in which he was released into the path of Antonelli at his pit stop , incurring a 10-second penalty which dropped him all the way from fourth to 17th . Norris went some way to answering his critics with victory in that chaotic , rain-sodden race . Written off as " mentally weak " by former world champion Alan Jones a few days ago , Norris managed the mayhem caused well -- Leclerc did not even make it to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the grid -- albeit he did profit from a well-timed safety car , just as he did when winning his maiden Formula One race in Miami last year . CHARLES IN THE WALL ? ? The Ferrari driver is caught out by the wet conditions , he sustains heavy damage and wo n't start the Miami Sprint ? ? ? ? ? **26;1574;TOOLONG " My luck in Miami seems to be pretty good at the minute , " he admitted . " I would probably prefer it happened tomorrow in the grand prix rather than today but I 'm happy . " Time will tell whether Norris can make up the position on Sunday . He noted that he should have better chances to do so than he did in Japan in March , thanks to DRS and " bigger braking zones " . There may also be the chance of further bad weather . He will have his work cut out passing Big Daddy Verstappen , however . " I was hoping fatherhood was going to slow him down a little bit but it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ did a ' Max lap ' once again . I 'm still very happy with the end result . It 's just a shame when you miss out on pole by such a small margin . " " This weekend is going well so far . It was a bit disappointing this morning but it was good to bounce back this way . " I struggled a little bit during qualifying , I did not have such a clean run like I had yesterday . But that last lap was quite good . I was a bit too greedy in Turn 1 , but the rest of the lap was quite good , so I am happy with it . " The gaps are super tight , and definitely , if you can gain just a few hundredths , you can make up so many places . It is really about putting everything together and so far this weekend , I am doing that . Hopefully tomorrow we can have a good @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ qualifying and starts third in the main race tomorrow Credit : Chandan Khanna/Getty Images Norris locked up into turn 17 on his first lap in Q3 and on his second attempt he took too much kerb on the inside of the corner , which proved costly and you would imagine he would have taken pole had he been cleaner through that turn . Norris makes up time from the first sector but comes across the line a tenth off Verstappen Piastri can not beat the Dutchman either . Antonelli goes in between the McLaren duo and then Russell comes across the line in fifth . Verstappen will start the Miami GP on pole tomorrow . Under two tenths covered the top five . That was close . Verstappen , as he has been quite often this weekend , is one of the first of the big hitters to set his time . He sets a purple sector in the first sector and sets a time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but is just off Verstappen 's time . Norris ' time is even closer to Verstappen 's but is 0.003sec off it . The Mercedes duo of Antonelli and Russell go fourth and sixth respectively . Russell went very deep into turn 17 and Norris also locked up into the same corner . Leclerc abandoned his lap after locking up into that corner . The seven-time world champion is 12th and is dumped out of qualifying . He finished third in the Sprint earlier but will not take part in the final part of qualifying . He locked up going into turn 17 and went deep , costing him huge time . He also lost some time through the first few corners . Verstappen is the first man across the line in this session and it is a 1:26.643 for the Dutchman .

Norris , who is second fastest , has reported over the team radio that he has hit the wall at turn 16 . It was more a kiss than a thump on the wall for Norris . A number of drivers are coming back onto the track with new soft tyres on . Surely the teams will not make the same mistake as they did yesterday when some drivers did not get across the line in time to set a final lap .

Oscar Piastri was second in Sprint qualifying and second in the Sprint Credit : Charly Triballeau/Getty Images Plenty of drivers lining up in the pit lane for a couple of minutes before the green light shows at the end of the pit lane . Norris though , winner of the Sprint , is in no hurry and not even in his car with a couple of minutes to go . The likes of Verstappen and Hamilton are in the queue as is Alonso @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are wanting to get out there earlier and we are under way in the first part of qualifying . I can not remember many times when we have seen this many penalties handed out after a sprint or a race . Now Lawson is the latest to be penalised for causing the collision with Alonso , which resulted in the Spaniard crashing out . That five-second penalty drops him out of the points and Gasly is now into the points . Here is how the top eight from the Sprint now looks : Bearman was penalised earlier , which dropped him out of the points , and now Albon has been punished . He has received a five-second penalty for going too quickly when the Safety Car was deployed so he drops from fourth to 12th . Antonelli , who started the Sprint on pole , moves into the points . Here is the statement from the stewards : " The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 23 ( Alexander Albon ) , the team @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " The driver of Car 23 was below the minimum time set in the ECU in three consecutive sectors at the beginning of the Safety Car period which is in breach of Art . 55.7 of the Sporting Regulations . Therefore the standard penalty is applied . " The Stewards note that the track conditions were not ideal and that no unsafe or dangerous situation was created by the driver and therefore do not issue any penalty points . " Following the Sprint , the Stewards have given Alex a five second penalty for not staying above the minimum time set by ECU under the Safety Car , which unfortunately drops us out of the points . Whilst it is looking very calm in the Ferrari garage , the Aston Martin mechanics are a fair bit busier repairing Alonso 's car after a crash late on in the Sprint . It does not look too frantic but still some work to be done . Qualifying begins 15 minutes later than originally scheduled , so we will be under way at 9.15pm BST . We wait to see whether some of those teams that have been busy repairing cars after the chaos of the Sprint will fix the cars in time , notably Ferrari with Leclerc and Aston Martin with Alonso .

The words were a playful reference to a row which first erupted in Brazil last autumn , when it emerged that the FIA was investigating allegations by Red Bull that McLaren were illegally filling their tyres with water to improve their performance . The F1 Academy race has just begun and the conditions are very different to what they were earlier . The sun is out and the track is dry . With the amount of rain that fell , it will take some time to rubber up again so the track will ramp up in pace . Lando Norris won a chaotic sprint race as wet weather wreaked havoc in Miami , with crashes and drama by the bucket load . Norris profited from the chaos to win from McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri with Ferrari 's Lewis Hamilton third after a late safety car which came out following a heavy crash by Aston Martin 's Fernando Alonso . Piastri had looked set to extend his lead in the championship until that point , having managed to pass Mercedes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ race . The Italian , the youngest pole-sitter in Formula 1 history at 18 years of age , complained that he had been forced off the track . But he never looked likely to convince the stewards . Having lost three places there Antonelli was also unfortunate that Red Bull 's Max Verstappen was released right into his path at his pit stop , clipping his tyre and forcing him to carry straight on . He ended up 10th . Verstappen , meanwhile , got a 10-second penalty and ended up 17th . There were also heavy crashes for Williams ' Carlos Sainz , while Ferrari 's Charles Leclerc did not even make it to the grid after aquaplaning into a wall on the way to the grid . We have the provisional results but those could easily change . Albon is currently under investigation for a safety car infringement and Lawson could be in strife for hitting Alonso , causing the Spaniard to crash . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been a tough year so far . I never thought it was going to rain in Miami . It was the first time that we have all been on track in the wet here , and what a race it provided us . " I really , really did struggle on the intermediates . I think everyone was struggling on them . I made that call at the end , I was like , I am coming in because I was going nowhere , so take the risk , take the gamble , and it paid off . I wish we had another couple of laps to give these guys a bit of a fight . But big congratulations to McLaren as always . " Lewis Hamilton made up a few places in the Sprint Credit : Chandan Khanna/Getty Images He rolls over the line and takes victory after a dramatic Sprint to say the least ! Norris took his maiden F1 victory here a year ago and he takes victory today in the Sprint @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ led for much of the Sprint race . Hamilton takes third whilst Verstappen will drop down the order . And breathe ! Behind the safety car we begin the last lap of this dramatic Sprint . Norris is going to win ahead of Piastri and Hamilton . Verstappen is currently fourth but will drop right down the order with his 10-second penalty . Antonelli , who started on pole , is down in 11th . As it stands there is no red flag and we are still behind the safety car . Verstappen has received a 10-second penalty for that unsafe release and that caused Antonelli not to be able to come into his pit box . Alonso crashed out at turn 12 after being hit by Lawson , who could be hit by a penalty . Norris complains about the debris at the chicane through turns 14 and 15 but no safety car emerges . Norris comes in and , as he does , Alonso is into the barriers and a safety @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out ahead of his teammate Piastri and has the race lead . Behind , with the aid of DRS , Hamilton gets past Verstappen into turn 11 for third place . McLaren pit Piastri but , with Norris right behind him , they can not double stack so Norris continues . Meanwhile Sainz has hit a wall at turn 14 and damaged his car , limping back to the pits having brought out yellow flags . DRS has been enabled and Antonelli has said it is close to slicks . Here is the first stop as Tsunoda , near the back , is the first one in and puts on a set of mediums . Everyone will be keeping a close eye on Tsunoda 's sector times . Piastri has said over team radio that the track is drying but not as quickly as he thought it would . I think we are not far off someone taking the gamble . As soon as one does the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 18 Verstappen has been noted for being out of position at the start but the stewards have decided no further investigation is necessary , despite images showing he looked like he was over the line . Norris got a penalty in Bahrain for the exact same thing yet Verstappen has escaped a penalty . Double standards seemingly ! Piastri has checked out in front as is nearly two seconds clear of his teammate Norris . In these wet conditions there is no DRS available . Piastri has told his team that the track is drying very quickly in this warm weather . Piastri gets a decent start and goes up the inside of Antonelli , who goes deep and off the track at the first turn . Norris is up into second and Verstappen is third , with Antonelli down in fourth . Antonelli complains over his team radio that he was pushed off but it looked like fair racing from Piastri and he was ahead into the corner . The sun is starting to come out . Zak Brown has just said to Sky Sports though that there could be a brief rain shower coming . If the rain stays away is it inconceivable that they could change to slicks later in the Sprint ? We have had one formation lap but the safety car will continue to go around . Verstappen has just gone straight on at turn 17 but he stays out of the barriers and continues . Antonelli has said over the team radio that he can barely see anything behind the safety car . Visibility is poor . Will we see a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drivers are on the intermediate tyres , except for the Williams of Sainz , and this formation lap will be behind the safety car . Will that gamble pay off for Williams or backfire ? He starts outside the points positions so probably worth the gamble , with some more rain due during the Sprint . Not long to go now until the Sprint , which will get under way on time . How will Antonelli 's nerves be like in these conditions ? One of the greatest athletes of all time , Michael Johnson , has just been speaking to Sky Sports about what advice he would give young Antonelli : " It is meet the moment . This moment is for you . Do not be intimidated by the moment . It is an opportunity . There will be more , this is not your only shot . " So , as a racer , you want to be light , relaxed but be right on the edge of that aggressiveness . " Take the moment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ too tight . " Piastri has just been speaking to Sky Sports about the treacherous conditions and the puddles that will make it tricky . Not only will the drivers have to be careful in the Sprint , but also they will have qualifying for tomorrow 's race on their minds . We will have to wait and see what the damage is to Leclerc 's Ferrari and how that might affect him later . The rain has stopped but the track is very wet . With warm conditions in Miami , the track could dry fairly quickly but we could have some pit stops during this Sprint , which are not mandatory . There was a feeling the Sprint start might be delayed but we are set to start on time . There could be more rain to come so strap yourselves in for plenty of drama ! Some are heading out on intermediates whilst others are on wets . Leclerc was going round on a set of intermediates and , on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just aquaplaned into the wall . He tried to keep going but has stopped at the side of the track just before turn 14 , meaning he will not compete in the sprint , which could end up being delayed now . There was a lot of damage to the right side of his car . Hamilton has come on the Ferrari team radio to say that he can not understand why they were sent out on intermediates . Not the way we wanted to start the day ? ? A soaking track has caught @CharlesLeclerc out on his way to the grid , and slides into the wall The rain is coming down pretty heavily currently in Miami . It started raining during the recent F1 Academy qualifying session and it is coming down harder . This rain was not expected and could spice things up for the Sprint , which starts in a touch under an hour . With it being pretty warm , the track will probably dry up fairly quickly . 18-year-old Kimi Antonelli became the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ today 's sprint in Miami . The Mercedes driver just pipped the McLaren duo of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris to take sprint pole . At just 18 years , eight months and seven days , Antonelli beats Sebastian Vettel 's previous record for the youngest polesitter in F1 ( Grand Prix and Sprint ) set at the 2008 Italian GP when the German was 21 years , two months a 11 days old . Antonelli explained after taking Sprint pole his surprise at doing so . " I did not see that coming . I felt the lap was good and I was happy with it . There were still a few bits I could have done better but I was super happy with how I put all the sectors together . " Every weekend I learn massively . Last week , having a break really helped me to gather information and process it all and recharging the batteries , it was really good . The whole qualifying I felt I was able to make a step lap by lap . I am much more aware of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the tyres but there is a lot to improve . Every weekend I get more confident with the car , can play with it more and explore the limits . At the same time , I can understand more from the set-up and give much better feedback which allows the team to improve the car . " I will enjoy this moment but focus on Saturday today because it would be good to repeat that result . McLaren , Ferrari and Red Bull have strong race pace but we are pretty close . It will be important to have a good start , then set a good pace without degrading the tyres too much . " Piastri , who leads the Drivers ' Championship , admitted he made an error on his final lap but was satisfied with his efforts .

" Oscar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ start the Sprint in second Credit : Kym Illman/Getty Images Norris , who starts third , was happy with his lap but acknowledges the competition is very high . " I am happy just to get a good lap in there . It was close , so there is not much more I could ask for . I am concentrating on this weekend and today 's yesterday performance , which was I think in a good ballpark . Obviously , not good enough , but it shows how close it is , shows how quick the Mercedes are . " Max Verstappen will start from fourth whilst Antonelli 's Mercedes teammate George Russell was fifth fastest . The Ferrari duo of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton start sixth and seventh respectively , with Alex Albon , Isack Hadjar and Fernando Alonso rounding out the top ten . The Sprint begins at 5pm BST , with qualifying for tomorrow 's race coming later at 9pm. |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee and does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'the stress' is the object of 'takes', and 'out of planning' describes the result of the action, not a VP2[-ing] predicate with a causee.

This scenic section is a boater 's favourite and a paddleboarder 's playground .

Up north , the canal is in the capable hands of Glandwr Cymru ( aka the Canal & River Trust in Wales ) , while the lower stretches , from Pontypool south , are looked after by a trio of local councils : Torfaen , Newport , and Caerphilly .

Once known as the Brecknock and Abergavenny Canal , this 35-mile stretch between Brecon and Pontymoile was a coal-powered hub built to ferry iron , limestone and coal from the Welsh valleys to Newport . According to the Canal and Rivers Trust , tramroads snaked down these hillsides to feed the canal , and in its heyday , places like Pontymoile Basin were buzzing with noise and steam due to the busy Lower Mills Sheet Metal Works and the Phoenix Galvanising Works . By 1948 , those heavy industries had vanished , replaced by glassworks , which have also disappeared , leaving behind a peaceful pocket of heritage and wildlife .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'borne out of' which is a phrasal verb followed by a gerund phrase 'holding a role...'. There is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the sentence does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It describes a physical movement ('spilled out of') rather than a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee in relation to the VP2[-ing] predicate.

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

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'pulled out of attending' which is a phrasal verb 'pull out of' followed by a gerund, but lacks an NP object that functions as a causee. Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it describes Brooklyn and Nicola deciding not to attend the Met Gala, which is a different grammatical structure. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the sentence does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate.

It is the father-son rift that ruined David Beckham 's 50th birthday celebrations . Son Brooklyn , 26 , and wife Nicola Peltz , 30 , were n't at the former England captain 's lavish dinner at Notting Hill 's Core restaurant on Saturday night . And their missing status made a photograph that David posted on his Instagram page that day , showing the doting father with his first-born aged seven , with the caption ' @brooklynbeckham I love you ' , all the more poignant . Brooklyn , on the other hand , did n't even wish his dad a happy birthday on social media , and did n't show up at any of his birthday events at the weekend . ? But David is n't the only well-known dad who has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we were reminded just a day earlier when Harry claimed his dad King Charles " wo n't speak to me " , while also declaring he would love reconciliation . ? So why is it that so many famous fathers and sons struggle to share the spotlight ? Here we look at some of the biggest celebrity father and son feuds , with the help of psychotherapist Lucy Beresford .. David is reportedly ' devastated ' that Brooklyn was n't at his special birthday ( Image : Getty Images ) Like most football mad youngsters Brooklyn has hero worshipped dad David . His first ever tattoo , eight years ago , was dedicated to Becks , and the aspiring chef excitedly launched his Cloud 23 condiment range - a nod to Becks ' Real Madrid shirt number . Article continues below In turn David has a Buster tattoo - his nickname for Brooklyn - inked on his neck with a heart . He spoke lovingly in the 2023 Netflix documentary Beckham - of wanting to protect Brooklyn from paparazzi @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . And there 's countless interviews over the years where Becks has defended his eldest against criticisms of him growing up as the ultimate nepo baby . In a 2016 GQ interview , when Brooklyn , then 16 , was pursuing a photography career , proud dad Becks said : " We know he 's going to make his mistakes -- and we know he 'll have opportunities because of us , " he says . " But he 's making opportunities for himself , too . So far , we 've been very lucky that he 's found a passion . Whether people believe it or not , he 's got talent . He 's got a great eye -- and proven that in the images he 's taken . " ? Fast forward almost a decade and Brooklyn 's photography passion appears to be no more and neither sadly does the once unbreakable Father and son bond . As Becks celebrated his 50th birthday , Brooklyn and his wife Nicola were nowhere to be seen . There have been well-documented past tensions between @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Spice Girl pulling out of designing her future daughter-in-law 's wedding dress in 2022 . But where has this father and son spar come from ? Lucy says she is also surprised but adds : " Brooklyn is the eldest of the Beckham children . However , at 26 , Brooklyn still has n't found his niche , his identity away from his family and famous parents . ? " Typically , the first born in a family pushes away from the family , to plough their own furrow . Maybe Brooklyn feels the only way he can carve out an identity beyond being the son of two famous people , is to put a lot of distance between him and the family . " King Charles and Prince Harry at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022 ( Image : AFP via Getty Images ) At a time when we thought there was nothing more Prince Harry could say against his family , the Duke of Sussex caused new shockwaves in a BBC interview - raising more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Royal . ? After losing his Court of Appeal challenge over the level of security he receives while visiting the UK from his luxury Montecito home , Prince Harry told the BBC he felt once again " let down " and blamed the Royal Household for influencing the decision to reduce his security . After the Duke of Sussex stepped down as a working royal in 2020 - and his security was automatically downgraded . He said some people " want history to repeat itself by denying him a higher level of security and how his father " wo n't talk to him " due to the security grievances . Prince Harry added his " jaw hit the floor " when he learned a representative of the Royal Household sits on the Ravec committee which authorises security for senior royals on behalf of the Home Office . Despite all this , Harry added that he hoped for a reconciliation and that he did n't " know how much longer " his father has left . ? Harry has reportedly only seen his father once @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after the shock announcement was made to the world in February 2024 - Harry got on a plane to rush to see the King - showing his deep love and devotion for his ' Pa ' . But the fallout from his 2023 memoir Spare and TV interviews remains . As Harry himself acknowledges some members of the Royal Family will never forgive him for writing it . Psychotherapist Lucy believes little will change as Harry continues to position himself in " victim mode . " And a clue to his burning resentment is in the name of his book . ? " Psychologically , as Freud identified , sons need to feel that they will eventually triumph over their fathers . In this particular family , that is actually going to happen . When King Charles dies , Prince William will literally take his job . " But that 's never going to be available for Prince Harry . That opportunity to fulfil that kind of psychological destiny will never be available to him . And that , of course , is no one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the spare - that could be fueling some of this resentment unconsciously . Prince Harry sat down with the BBC in a shocking interview and said the King would not talk to him ( Image : BBC ) ? " He makes some comments about ' the establishment ' which were on this particular committee that decides who gets security . So Prince Harry is making an assumption that King Charles could do something about that . I do not know whether that is true or not . But In his mind , he feels aggrieved . " Also Lucy points to the fact that this BBC interview differs from others he has done . There is no financial incentive or aim to further the Harry and Meghan brand commercially . She explains : " There is an element of him not wanting to be forgotten , the irony is that he is the one who took himself away , moving to America , so with this interview for the BBC , it 's more about trying to remind people he still exists . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do n't forget me ! ' " According to Lucy , the interview demonstrates Prince Harry 's inner child has hijacked his adult brain in regards to his security concerns - that " history will repeat itself " - that what happened to his mother Princess Diana - could happen to him and his family . " If it has already happened in your family . There is an argument that it might happen . But as a grown up , you could probably make your own choices so that it does n't happen again . " But his inner child is so strong that it 's almost like it 's hijacked his adult brain to say , ' no this would definitely happen if I do n't get the security that I that I long for , then really bad things will happen . ' " ? Ultimately Lucy believes that although the feelings of grievances and resentment towards the Royal Family is real - the desire to reconcile with his estranged father may not be . " I do n't honestly think we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his book suggests someone who is very happy to burn a lot of bridges , " says Lucy . Ever since Jade Goody 's tragic death in 2009 her ex-boyfriend Jeff Brazier has devoted himself to raising their sons , Bobby and Freddy , to the best of his ability . ? He managed to shield his boys from the glare of life in the spotlight all the while making a living on TV as a Sky Sports presenter . Jeff Brazier competing in Race Across The World with son Freddy ( Image : BBC ) But the protective father 's relationship with his youngest Freddy has been strained at times . Jeff recently began legal proceedings to prevent Freddy , 20 from seeing his nan , Jackiey Budden , due to fears she 's a bad influence on him . ? Amid reports of father-son rows , Freddy , 20 , been known to stay at Jackiey 's Bermondsey flat when things are n't going well between them and has even filmed himself taking drugs there . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's Race Across The World , which he took part in last year with Freddy , was to reconnect with his son . Ahead of the reality show , which saw the duo travel from Bel ? m , Brazil to Frutillar , Chile , without the use of mobile phones , he said : " D' you know what I 'm most looking forward to about this trip is that I feel like I 'm about to learn a lot more about my son . ? " I feel like at some point he 's going to move out and I 'll lose him . So , I guess I 'm just trying to squeeze every last bit out of him that I can . " But there is still a lot of love between them . On Mother 's Day this year , Freddy posted pictures of Jade , but then posted a new photo of him and his dad with their arms around each other , adding : " Forever grateful for you and all you do for me . " ? Tensions between them reached a fever pitch when Eubank Jr pushed for autonomy , choosing new trainers , and the split was then worsened by the 2021 death of Eubank Jr 's brother , Sebastian . Chris Eubank Sr with his son Chris Eubank Jr Eubank Sr. publicly criticised his son 's choices , even referring to him as a " disgrace " for agreeing to a fight with Conor Benn under conditions he deemed dangerous . ? In the run up to Eubank Jr 's grudge match against Conor Benn last month his father made it clear he would not be in his son 's corner , calling the fight a ' circus ' and criticising his behaviour in a press conference when Eubank Jr smashed an egg in Benn 's face @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against this guy 's face ... I taught you that ? I did n't teach you that ... That is disgraceful . I would never have been in your corner ; that is a disgrace , " he said . But in an emotional moment he made a surprise appearance at his son 's fight at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium , after visiting him at his hotel . He later accompanied his son in the ambulance for the routine hospital check-up following the match . ? It was a turning point in their relationship , with Eubank Jr calling their reunion " a moment of a lifetime " . Father-son feuds are n't reserved for modern days , either . Bing Crosby , one of the most iconic entertainers of the 20th century , had a notably complex and often rocky relationship with his sons from his first marriage to Dixie Lee - Gary , Phillip , Dennis , and Lindsay Crosby . While Crosby cultivated a charming and easygoing persona in public , his sons later described their upbringing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Crosby , in particular , shed light on their troubled family dynamic in his explosive 1983 memoir Going My Own Way , published after Bing died in 1977 . He alleged that Bing was a strict and emotionally distant father who disciplined his children with what Gary described as excessive physical punishment , claims which stirred controversy at the time . The Crosby sons also struggled with personal issues as adults , including alcoholism and depression . Two of them - Lindsay and Dennis - tragically died by suicide , with claims that their childhood experiences contributed to their struggles . Article continues below But sons Phillip and Harry both contested Gary 's claims . Phillip told People magazine that any physical discipline they received from their father was merited , while Gary told the Daily Express : " I only know my own experience with my dad which was one of love , ? support , friendship and respect , " he said .

The phrase 'rule me out of being at the Irish Cup Final' does not involve a V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate structure. Instead, 'rule out' is used as a phrasal verb meaning to exclude, and 'being at the Irish Cup Final' is the object of the preposition 'of', not a VP2[-ing] predicate with a causee interpretation. Therefore, it does not exhibit the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

I 've said before that it was Joe McAree who got me into sports journalism -- but it was partly Rodney too . ' Mr Dungannon Swifts ' Joe came into the ' Tyrone Courier ' office , where I was working , after reading an article I 'd written about Dungannon Swifts playing a Liverpool U21 team . Joe asked me to start covering the Swifts , so I did - and I loved it , despite the heartache of missing out on a ' B ' Division title to Loughgall . A joyous Joe McAree ( left ) and his younger son Rodney , the Dungannon Swifts manager , with the Irish Cup . Picture : Arthur Allison /Pacemaker Press . Rodney was part of that visiting Reds ' U21 panel , which also included a certain Robbie Fowler . Certain colleagues scoffed at me for bigging up young Fowler -- one guess which team those fools support . The importance of the Irish Cup to the Swifts can not be overstated . Damian ' Dixie ' Robinson revealed that fellow backroom staff @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Linfield at Windsor Park if he was OK . The Maghery man had been unusually quiet and still in the ' dugout ' area . The real reason ? ' Rodney told me not to do or say anything stupid which might rule me out of being at the Irish Cup Final ' . From the moment young Swifts right-back Steven Scott was unfairly sent off in Saturday 's Irish Cup Final the worry was that the 10 men could not hang onto their lead , given by John McGovern 's first half header . It is believed that Dungannon 's John McGovern has completed a move to Shamrock Rovers after helping Dungannon Swifts ' to win their first ever Irish Cup final on Saturday ( David Maginnis/David Maginnis/Pacemaker Press ) The equaliser , although merited by Cliftonville 's pressure , was all the more sickening for all connected with the Swifts because it came from a former player , Shea Kearney . The Swifts , who 've played the best football in the league under the best manager in the league , were forced @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Gael Bigirimana and Leo Alves . They hung on , though , by goalkeeper Declan Dunne 's fingertips , the heads of Danny Wallace , captain fantastic Dean Curry , ' Bigi ' astonishingly - and the heart of all with the Swifts emblem on their shirts out on that pitch . The victory was not just for the players , nor only the management team too , not even for the supporters there , or around the world -- but for the town . Dungannon suffered heavily during ' the Troubles ' but the Swifts has always been a beacon of cross-community hope in my experience . Indeed , a certain rival club attempted disparagement by labelling them ' Dungannon Celtic ' because there was so many Catholic players , from near and far , in the Swifts ranks . The GAA rightly heralds the lifelong devotion of many of its members and volunteers -- but that ceaseless commitment applies to people at clubs like Dungannon Swifts too . Beyond the McArees -- Joe 's wife Carol and daughter Sharon too - and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Gallagher and Davy Holmes , and far too many more to mention . Others connected with the club sadly did not live to see the wondrous day . Bobby Boyd , father of chairman Keith , passed away suddenly just four weeks ago . Even some Swifts players were lucky to be alive . In a Lisburn Road bar afterwards I got talking to the father of Swifts panellist Thomas Maguire , who was driving the car which was involved in a four-car accident back in August , with his passengers being team-mates Dunne , Wallace , and midfielder James Knowles . The years , decades , have passed . ' Young Whittle ' is now not-so-young . ' Pops ' Smyton now looks more of a ' Grandpops ' . Yet you 're always a part of the Swifts family , even if you 've been away in Belfast half your life . When I went to the club shop last Wednesday evening to buy some gear for my son and I , the woman behind the counter looked at me and asked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out later that she is the wife of Darren Boyd , older brother of Keith , with whom I had gone to school . Her daughter was helping her out . With purchases ' cash only ' , I was ? 2 short to pay for what I wanted . As I started to say I 'd go and get more money out up the town , two pound coins were handed over by the man behind me in the queue . Eddie McComb : the man who used to run the burger stand at Stangmore Park . I bumped into him again as we went into the Railway End on Saturday . He 'll get that money back , with interest , probably as a liquid asset . The only aspect which took some shine off the Swifts ' silverware was the confected controversy about the lack of coin toss for which end at which to take the penalties . Dungannon Swifts have lifted their first-ever Irish Cup to seal a spot in the European qualifiers for next season . Photo by David Maginnis/Pacemaker Press @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Magilton and captain Rory Hale get a pass for wondering why that had happened ( or not happened ) . They were surely too caught up in the gripping game to notice what was occurring at the Kop end throughout the two hours-plus of action . Dungannon ' keeper Decky Dunne added information to what we witnessed from the Railway End ; not only were a number of flares thrown towards his goalmouth , he was pelted with numerous smaller missiles , including coins . Money wasted by those hoods . The fact that a Cliftonville official quickly agreed to the referee 's decision tells you all you need to know about that matter . Those who cost Cliftonville the chance of taking penalties in front of their own supporters were the , well , tossers who threw so many missiles onto the pitch . Police came under attack in the Broadway area of Belfast as Cliftonville supporters made their way back from their Irish Cup Final defeat to Dungannon Swifts . Fireworks , bottles , and bricks were thrown at police lines as the crowd @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Alan Lewis - Photopress Belfast/Photopress Belfast ) Credit to Cliftonville club for condemning those among their support responsible for disorderly behaviour after the match . I 'd wager that none of those trouble-makers , either during the game or after it , are regulars at Solitude ; some may never have even been there . They 're a stain on the reputation of the many superb supporters in the Red Army . |

The sentence 'Redman was talked out of retiring by Bob McIntyre' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It has a prevention interpretation ('Bob McIntyre prevented Redman from retiring by means of talking'). The verb 'talked' falls under the category of means by verbal persuasion. The NP object 'Redman' is a causee who participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'retiring'. The sentence also allows for a passive voice interpretation, which is another property of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'takes the guesswork out of creating a perfectly compressed puck of espresso' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a process where the lever-operated tamping system simplifies the action of creating an espresso puck, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee and does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'taking the hassle out of switching' involves an NP ('the hassle') as a complement of the complex preposition 'out of', and 'switching' modifies the implied process, not functioning as a VP[-ing] predicate with a causee.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'those on low incomes' is the NP object and 'doing their bit to save the planet' and 'being able to reduce their energy bills' are VP2[-ing] predicates. The interpretation is prevention, as the low-income individuals are prevented from participating in saving the planet and reducing their energy bills due to being priced out. The verb 'priced' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure metaphorically. The NP object functions as a causee, and the sentence allows for a prevention interpretation, which aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Sovereignty : Kentucky Derby hero lead the Godolphin domination over the weekendCredit : Getty Images An unprecedented approach Over the course of 48 hours , Godolphin practically redefined what is deemed achievable by the major thoroughbred organisations . To win any Classic is a big deal , and to win two on the same weekend would arguably rate a year-defining achievement . But to register a clean sweep of the Kentucky Oaks and Derby , the 1,000 and 2,000 Guineas is entirely unprecedented . While Coolmore have completed the Guineas double three times in recent years -- namely 2015 , 2017 and 2019 -- you need to go all the way back to 1952 to find the last instance of the same owner completing the Kentucky Derby and Oaks double . That distinction belonged to Calumet Farm , represented by Hill Gail and Real Delight respectively . Godolphin 's success highlights just how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when to rely on its home stallions -- and when to look elsewhere . The pedigree behind Kentucky Oaks heroine Good Cheer combines two real stalwarts of Darley 's US stallion roster . She is by Medaglia D'Oro , who was 22 when Good Cheer was conceived , and out of Wedding Toast , a daughter of Street Sense who won two Grade 1s on dirt . Medaglia D'Oro and Street Sense have spent a combined 38 seasons under the Darley banner , and are still on active duty this year . Desert Flower 's pedigree is also Godolphin through and through , being by Night Of Thunder and out of Promising Run , a homebred Hard Spun mare who won four Group 2s . Desert Flower was bred in the year that Night Of Thunder 's fee rose from ? 25,000 to ? 75,000 . She had already done her bit to boost her sire to a career-high pitch of ? 150,000 this year having claimed last season 's Fillies ' Mile . Sovereignty is out of another daughter of a Jonabell Farm resident in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fold as a $1,200,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase through John Ferguson in 2014 . She did not make the track but visited Spendthrift Farm in 2021 for the mating that produced Sovereignty . That tryst was with Into Mischief , who has progressed from a $7,500 option in his third and fourth seasons to become a six-time US champion sire . Into Mischief has now sired 24 top-flight winners and is standing his fourth consecutive year at a career-high fee of $250,000 . Ruling Court is , of course , by Coolmore America 's sire sensation Justify , and Godolphin had to outbid Coolmore at ? 2,300,000 to secure the 2,000 Guineas winner at last year 's Arqana Breeze-Up Sale . You do not have to look too far into the past when a self-imposed embargo would have precluded Godolphin from purchasing the stock of Coolmore sires . But with those days a thing of the past , with the boycott lifted in 2017 , Sheikh Mohammed 's operation is reaping the rewards of a more even-handed approach . Ruling Court was not Godolphin 's only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 600,000 Goffs Orby buy Rising Power , a son of Wootton Bassett , looked a colt with a bright future as he made a winning debut on the 1,000 Guineas undercard . There is no silver bullet for securing success on the track , and heavy investment alone can not guarantee results . But , as Godolphin have shown , getting the balance right between breeding and buying , harnessing your own bloodlines and leaning into those in the hands of others , sure goes a long way . On a High Wherever you looked over the weekend , High Chaparral was front and centre . This was the case on both sides of the world and both sides of pedigrees . The biggest result to bear the son of Sadler 's Wells ' name was , of course , Ruling Court 's 2,000 Guineas triumph . The Classic winner may be a son of Justify , but he is out of Inchargeofme , a British-bred daughter of High Chaparral who passed through Book 1 of the October Yearling Sale in 2014 . She went @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ January where the Mayer family of Nursery Place signed the $80,000 ticket . The sister to Racing Post Trophy runner-up Johann Strauss retired with three wins and a Grade 3 placing to her name . Ruling Court was High Chaparral 's 16th Group/Grade 1 winner as broodmare sire and his second European Classic scorer in as many seasons , following on from Look De Vega 's Prix du Jockey Club strike . High Chaparral : Ruling Court was his 16th top-level winner as a broodmare sireCredit : Edward Whitaker While the 2,000 Guineas was High Chaparral 's biggest result as a broodmare sire over the weekend , Ruling Court was not his only notable winner in this department . Spicy Marg marked herself down as a name to note with a commanding **28;2019;TOOLONG debut success in a valuable fillies ' novice event at Newmarket on Sunday . The Michael Bell-trained two-year-old is the fourth foal out of Main Desire , who Spicy Marg will bid to emulate if she lines up in the Listed Marygate Stakes on her next outing . The filly looks well bought @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Being by Starspangledbanner means Spicy Marg is bred on the same cross as two of High Chaparral 's 16 Group/Grade 1 winners as damsire , namely Hong Kong hero California Spangle and top two-year-old The Wow Signal . And it was not just in the female side of pedigrees that High Chaparral had plenty to shout about this weekend . While his sire sons are in fairly short supply in the northern hemisphere , that is not the case in Australia . Three sons , namely Toronado , So You Think and Dundee , are all inside the top 13 on the general sires list , and the latter supplied his ninth Group 1 winner when Femminile beat the boys to land the South Australian Derby at Morphettville on Saturday . Dundeel will stand the upcoming breeding season at Arrowfield for an unaltered fee of A$88,000 , and is already represented by two multiple Group 1-winning sires sons of his own in Castelvecchio ( sire of Aeliana and El Castello ) and Super Seth ( Feroce , La Dorada and Linebacker ) . Unearthing a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ each year is a feat of rare merit , whether you 're an agent , an owner , a trainer or a pinhooker . However , in recent years Williamson has achieved this accomplishment with uncommon regularity . His Classic run of form commenced in 2018 when Williamson 's Oak Tree Farm sold War Of Will to Justin Casse for ? 250,000 . The son of War Front went on to land the following year 's Preakness Stakes . Next up was Eldar Eldarov , who he sold to Oliver St Lawrence on behalf of KHK Racing for ? 480,000 in the Covid-impacted year that Arqana held its breeze-up event in Doncaster . The son of Dubawi won the 2022 St Leger and the Irish equivalent the following year . Native Trail was crowned champion juvenile in 2021 after wins in the National and Dewhurst Stakes . Godolphin 's 210,000gns Craven Sale pick-up added a third Group 1 prize in the Irish 2,000 Guineas . Then came Ruling Court , who rewarded Godolphin 's Arqana investment of ? 2.3 million , a record price for a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ slightly under the radar is that Williamson has not only produced these four Classic winners , he has bought this quartet for well under what the market ended up valuing them at . While fluctuations in exchange rates make nailing down a precise sum something of a challenge , it appears Williamson , who works the yearling sales with another renowned judge in Mags O'Toole , invested under ? 300,000 to secure Eldar Eldarov , Native Trail and Ruling Court . That looks like money ridiculously well spent , even before you consider this trio were traded for somewhere in the region of ? 2.65m . War Of Will has no publicly listed yearling price , but given he went unsold at $175,000 , it is safe to assume his talent far exceeded his initial valuation too . Plainly , pinhooking breeze-up horses is working out just fine . But with this sort of track record , if Williamson ever felt like setting up as a bloodstock agent , his eye for future talent would surely be in extremely high demand . Dubawi dominates again @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stallion , the roles were reversed when Officer , a son of Dubawi , trounced the opposition in the Listed Tetrarch Stakes at the Curragh . The Coolmore homebred , who is out of Galileo 's dual Group 1 winner Hydrangea , now has the Irish 2,000 Guineas on his agenda . Dubawi : Darley 's supreme sire has been in a rich vein of formCredit : Edward Whitaker And that result was just the tip of the iceberg in recent days as Dubawi 's influence was felt far and wide . At Newmarket he came up with another potential Classic contender in Alpine Trail , a wide-margin winner of the Listed Newmarket Stakes . Nebras , a Dubawi half-brother to Nashwa , ran a respectable second in the same contest . And on Sunday the son of Dubai Millennium featured as the damsire of Godolphin 's runaway Dahlia Stakes scorer Cinderella 's Dream . But it was his sire sons that really starred during a big weekend for the Dalham Hall Stud kingpin . Night Of Thunder deserves the greatest credit for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ His progressive son More Thunder also won the heritage handicap on Saturday , running to a Racing Post Rating of 102 in the process . Another of Dubawi 's sons , Too Darn Hot , supplied the 1,000 Guineas third in Simmering , while Dubawi 's daughter Elwateen was fourth . Elwateen is a Shadwell homebred , as is Falakeyah , who looked a filly with Group 1 potential when blowing her six rivals away in the Listed Pretty Polly Stakes . The Owen Burrows-trained three-year-old is by another of Dubawi 's sons in New Bay . Ghaiyyath notched his latest winner when Zgharta continued the good run of form of owner Imad Al Sagar by landing the fillies ' maiden that opened Newmarket 's Friday card . Even Postponed , who would not be anything like as in vogue as New Bay , Night Of Thunder or Too Darn Hot , got in on the act by supplying Listed Nottinghamshire Oaks winner Ambiente Amigo earlier in the week . The 14-year-old son of Dubawi stands as a jumps sire Yorton Farm Stud. |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'made a career out of doing that', where 'doing that' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate inducing a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Ahead of the inaugural edition of the Myrtle Beach Classic , when we had to do a bit of guessing , I suggested we might be looking at a longer version of nearby Harbour Town , maybe with flashes of Copperhead . Despite a chunky yardage , I thought this might be as much about precision as power . And then Chris Gotterup , one of the longest and wildest drivers on the PGA Tour , won by six . And it was n't just Gotterup 's performance which confirmed that I 'd been wrong . Behind him were the likes of Alistair Docherty , Davis Thompson , Beau Hossler , Ryan McCormick and , tellingly , Ryan Fox . Like Gotterup , Fox misses a lot of fairways and much of his best golf has therefore come when either everyone is missing them , when they 're too wide to miss , or when he does n't have to hit driver all that often . The story of the Dunes Golf and Beach Club was that fairways were hard to hit , but that missing them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the right places and , for the most part , were hitting driver and hitting it long . Seldom did Gotterup choose a different club off par-four and par-five tees , doing so at the short 10th and 16th holes -- even at the 10th , he was one of several who drove the green in round three -- and the longest hole , the par-five 13th . Ep.18 , May 5 - Scottie by a million , who 's the most popular golfer , slow play and the return of DPWT The latter was part of the riddle . At more than 600 yards on the scorecard , I wondered if it might be a three-shot hole , the type that levels the playing field by creating the kind of wedge contest shorter hitters often prefer . As it turned out , a sharp dog-leg meant players only had to hit the ball about 550 yards to reach the green , often nudging an iron or hybrid off the tee then turning sharply right for a longer second shot . Gotterup 's power came into play @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and while spelling out these individual lessons might be a bit much on a week where you may choose to read three of these previews , the underlying message is important . Dunes played quite significantly into the hands of long drivers like him , Docherty and Fox , who respectively ranked 60th , 67th and 65th in driving accuracy -- that 's among just 70 players . There 's always a chance things change , that the rough has been grown or that they play with tee boxes , that it 's firmer or softer or windier or calmer , but all things being equal , longer hitters should be at a significant advantage . And what 's particularly good about this is that they certainly were at last week 's Byron Nelson where , behind Scottie Scheffler , we had a who 's who of long-driving , generally mid-tier players . Perhaps then that 'll be a good form guide despite the move from bentgrass to bermuda and there is one player from Craig Ranch who immediately caught my eye : PATRICK FISHBURN . There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but when it comes to getting the maximum possible price about a shortlisted player , without having to take on board a significant new negative , there are few things I prefer than to see a player miss the cut by a single shot . That 's what Fishburn did in Texas and as a result , he 's thrown in with everyone else who had the weekend off . At a glance , there 's nothing to distinguish his performance from that of last-placed Peter Malnati but while the latter will have departed feeling utterly downcast , Fishburn should be among those both encouraged and fired up , desperate not to let more good golf go to waste . He really did do a lot right , driving the ball to a very high standard and continuing to show promise with his approaches , which he had done in the Texas Open last time he teed it up on his own . In round two in particular , the big-hitting Utah man was peppering flags only to endure a really tough day on the greens , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not a deep-rooted issue . Fishburn ranked 80th in putting last season , his first on the PGA Tour , but rather than being an average putter who putts averagely every week , he 's one who goes to both extremes from time to time . That 's reflected in his results , too : he has six top-10s on the PGA Tour since this time last year , which is more than most players of his calibre , but he 's missed twice that many cuts during the same period . Missed cuts preceded third in the Procore Championship and fifth in the Texas Open , probably his two standout results so far all all things considered , so this is a pretty volatile player whose good is more than good enough to be contending for , and perhaps even winning , an opposite event like this one . Fishburn also showed plenty of promise here last year , at a time when yes he 'd recently been fourth in the Zurich Classic , but his form individually had been extremely poor . It was in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 20th , he was one of just two of the 70 players who made the cut to have done so despite an opening 73 , which had him languishing in 104th . Over the second and third rounds , only Gotterup outscored him ; over the final 54 holes only Gotterup and Fox did , and this despite Fishburn 's putter largely misfiring . He ranked fourth in strokes-gained tee-to-green , not only thanks to his typically reliable driving but some outstanding approach play figures , and demonstrated that the Dunes is a good course for his impressive long-game . One year on and as well as having produced all of his best PGA Tour results in the interim , his approach play has come good of late . There is so much to like here and while we 're talking about a 32-year-old without any notable silverware in the locker , I love his chances . And , returning to the start of the argument , had he made the cut by one and climbed to the top 10 , something he did in San Antonio @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Matti Schmid has been sixth and ninth in two opposite starts this year and having almost won in Bermuda a couple of seasons ago , his record when dropping down in grade merits respect . We 've seen it when he 's returned to the DP World Tour , too , so there was some inclination to chance him despite a modest set of results in better company . His putter did warm up during round two of the Nelson and he knows this course from an amateur event as well as last year 's missed cut , but that performance when selected at the same sort of price he is now was undeniably disappointing . On balance there are players around the same price point with greater substance to their form , and one of them is DAVIS RILEY . He was again among my selections last week and was ultimately disappointing , with his strength of late , approach play , letting him down . However , all other parts of his game were good and I love how he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two , an eagle at his final hole just enough to make the cut . That 's now eight cuts made in a row and Riley , whose two wins on the PGA Tour have come in April and May , should drop down in grade knowing he has stacks in his favour , not least his level of ability versus some of those he 's now competing with . Absolutely CLUTCH . Davis Riley eagles his final hole of the day to move inside the projected cut line ! Seldom has he played in these and his class was a big part of the case for backing him at 150/1 in Puerto Rico , where he was second heading into the final round and held on for a place . Of course , having backed up that performance since , including with an excellent Masters debut , those big prices have now gone but I thought he 'd be the other side of 50/1 for this . He was down the field last year but conditions should suit a player born in Mississippi and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he returned to the east coast in the spring . While his iron play dipped last week , it was his best driving display of the year and his short-game was sharp , and if there 's one aspect of the game from which I 'd be most comfortable relying on a return to form , it 's his approach work . Sixth at Augusta , seventh at the Valspar and strong generally bar two starts in Texas , better is expected . At the head of the market , Mackenzie Hughes and Tom Kim are quality operators who will feel like they should n't be here . Hughes missed the cut narrowly after a fine start last week having been six-under on Thursday morning , while Kim played better on Friday , though you 'd have to be worried about his lack of power at this course , which hurt him at Craig Ranch too . Neither makes much appeal at the odds , though Hughes is the right favourite , and with Thorbjorn Olesen 's iron play poor throughout the weekend of the Nelson , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was sixth entering the final round of this event last year , eventually fading to 20th , and that performance had something to do with his course knowledge having once been fifth in the Southern Amateur here . Having grown up in North Carolina , it 's close to a home game and just as last year 's performance came on the heels of a timely return to form , his closing 66 at the Nelson was much more like it after a frustrating run of narrow missed cuts in the Houston Open , the Texas Open , and the Zurich Classic . Alex Smalley can win his first PGA Tour title Between these he started well in the Corales and on the form he showed from January to March , including 14th in The PLAYERS and a five other top-25 finishes , he 'd be a massive threat to everyone at a course he knows . Long enough off the tee and having signed off last week with his best golf since he entered the final round at Sawgrass in third place , this big @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to much lesser company . Sam Ryder has made a career out of doing that , with top-fives in the Corales , Puerto Rico Open , Barbasol and Bermuda Championship , but he 's a weak driver and I ca n't imagine this is ideal for him despite his east coast roots . Preference is for the much more powerful PIERCESON COODY , who drove it very well to be 25th last week . Yes , soft conditions on a wide-open course helped but Coody might just produce a performance similar to those of Gotterup , Docherty and Fox last year , as he has all the tools to do so . Though down the field himself in the inaugural edition of this tournament , his form was poor at the time , but he went on to show what he can do with top-fives at Colonial and in the ISCO Championship , latterly when losing a play-off while carrying an injury throughout the weekend . Another good display in weaker company came when 12th on a shorter , less suitable course in Bermuda , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the Korn Ferry Tour , where he 's already a three-time winner despite having only turned 25 in January . His putter has n't been firing this year but , significantly , it did at the weekend in the Nelson where he was better in round three and dynamite in round four . Should that continue here in South Carolina , combined with his raw power then he could do a lot of damage . Ricky Castillo is a supreme ball-striker who went to college in Florida and could go well but his putter is too big of a worry at the prices , whereas the much more reliable putter of Vince Whaley is n't enough to be taking 50/1 about one who has been around a long time and is in the right sort of grade . I prefer to chance ANTOINE ROZNER after several signs of encouragement lately . Rozner actually has n't missed a cut since the AmEx in January , no small achievement for a PGA Tour rookie , and he 's started to improve lately with 33rd in Texas ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a so-so partner ( seventh at halfway ) , and then 13th last week . Few performed better over the weekend of the Nelson as Rozner climbed from 49th to 13th , his third-round 63 especially impressive as he led the field in putting for a welcome confidence boost with his generally weakest club . Antoine Rozner Rozner gained strokes with his driving and approach play in every round and nobody hit more greens , so he comes here for his first opposite event at a really good time , knowing , surely , that he can compete with everyone in this field . He 's won by the coast on the DP World Tour and in a strong breeze in Qatar so I 'll be content should the wind get up , he 's certainly long enough off the tee and has also tidied up the big misses we saw last season , while his irons can be excellent . Perhaps then he can become the second Frenchman ever to win on the PGA Tour after Matthieu Pavon last year and it 's Rozner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ European option . Finally , though I was keen to keep the staking plan as slim as possible on a busy week and have managed to scroll past Danny Walker , I ca n't resist NORMAN XIONG at massive prices . This quality driver has been troubled by a back injury which ruled him out for a while at around this time last year , but he 's back to full fitness now and hinting that he can take advantage of the opportunities which come his way . Last week he shot 69-69 to miss the cut by a single shot at the Nelson , where he striped it throughout both rounds , and his previous PGA Tour start saw him enter the final round in Puerto Rico in fifth place , eventually fading to 12th . Granted , his Korn Ferry Tour appearances have n't been quite so promising but he 's only played in Panama , Colombia and Argentina , where he had no previous form to call upon , and generally low-scoring conditions may not have suited a player who can struggle on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the top 20 at halfway at Torrey Pines and missed the cut by one in the AmEx , while late last year he hung around close to the lead in the Shriners soon after returning from injury , so for my money he 's just a good deal better than the sort of prices we 're able to take . That he 's plenty long off the tee suggests this could be a good course at which to chance him , and having taken a couple of opportunities to win really impressively at just a slightly lower level than this , this former amateur star has to be worth a try after six consecutive under-par rounds which hint that he 's getting back to his best .

DEAR DEIDRE : MY son discovered I 'd been talking to and planning to meet a man on a dating app when he borrowed my phone . He took screenshots of our ? conversations and sent them to my daughter . I am 52 , my husband is 54 and we have been together for 30 years . Our two kids are grown up . My daughter rang me the next day to say she had seen the chat and asked if her dad knew . I told her that we had been having a few problems and had been to see a counsellor , explaining that I thought he was getting too close to a woman at work . When I admitted everything I started to cry -- but I wanted her to know that her dad is n't perfect . My daughter told me she loved us both but said she wanted me to tell her father . I promised I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ told how to live my life . I 'm so angry that my son went through my phone without asking . My daughter understood but she said when her brother saw this dodgy dating app he panicked . Even if it is dodgy , it is up to me to have it on my phone if I want to . It is n't up to my son . I feel like my daughter is threatening to tell her dad if I do n't , even though I told her it would make things worse . She said she did n't want me to meet this man while her father is working . I have been caught out and admit to feeling ashamed and guilty . Dear Deidre : Cheating and can you get over it Although I have n't met this other man , I feel so exposed now , like the whole world knows about what I was doing . DEIDRE SAYS : Family secrets are damaging but now the cat is out of the bag and your children have expressly asked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be best to come clean . If you do n't , your children may never forgive you , even though they are adults and should be able to handle the fact that you are not perfect . While honesty about cheating is not always the best policy , because sometimes all it does is cause pain and misery , I would suggest that as your whole family knows except your husband , it 's not fair to expect them to keep your secret , or to leave him the only one left in the dark . My support pack Looking After Your Relationship will help you with this . DEAR DEIDRE : I BITTERLY regret proposing to my partner years ago . We are getting married in two months ' time , but I feel I am at breaking point . We are both 39 and have been together for 15 years . We have three gorgeous children . My partner accuses me of taking over the planning of the wedding , saying she did n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her too much stress . Our relationship is not going well . In fact , it is falling apart . We only have sex when my partner feels like it , which is once a month . She shouts at me when I say anything to her about it . She accuses me of gaslighting her and makes me feel rubbish . I have told her that if she wants to cancel the wedding then to go ahead and do it . She then belittled me in front of her family . When I say anything back , she makes it seem like it is my fault . I question whether she actually loves me . When I have asked her , she says as a joke " You 're still here , are n't you ? " I do n't know how I got to the stage where I am scared to annoy or disappoint her . I do n't feel like a man any more . What should I do ? DEIDRE SAYS : This sounds more serious than just wedding jitters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's too late . Do n't go ahead with the wedding just because it 's booked . Divorce is more difficult than postponing or cancelling . You must sort out the problems in your relationship before you get married or you could both be very unhappy , more so than you are now . Talk to your fianc ? e , share your fears with her , and then decide what is right for the two of you . My support pack on Standing Up For Yourself will help you to do this . DEAR DEIDRE : THINKING of the past brings me shame and pain . I am a single man of 52 . I have made some bad mistakes that I really regret , so many I have lost count . I used to do drugs and drank a lot . It caused my relationship to break up and I rarely saw my children or other family members . I also lost my job and as a result really missed seeing my colleagues @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . I 've got a decent job which although is n't perfect , suits me . I even see my children who are grown up , but I still get upset when I think of all the people I hurt . I have tried so hard to focus on becoming a better person but every now and then I worry that I am still that bad person . It is making me feel suicidal . My mind does n't seem strong enough to push the negativity away . DEIDRE SAYS : Thinking about the past is natural but when you feel stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts it can be upsetting . |

I am 52 , my husband is 54 and we have been together for 30 years . Our two kids are grown up . My daughter rang me the next day to say she had seen the chat and asked if her dad knew . I told her that we had been having a few problems and had been to see a counsellor , explaining that I thought he was getting too close to a woman at work . When I admitted everything I started to cry -- but I wanted her to know that her dad is n't perfect . My daughter told me she loved us both but said she wanted me to tell her father . I promised I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ told how to live my life . I 'm so angry that my son went through my phone without asking . My daughter understood but she said when her brother saw this dodgy dating app he panicked . Even if it is dodgy , it is up to me to have it on my phone if I want to . It is n't up to my son . I feel like my daughter is threatening to tell her dad if I do n't , even though I told her it would make things worse . She said she did n't want me to meet this man while her father is working . I have been caught out and admit to feeling ashamed and guilty . Dear Deidre : Cheating and can you get over it Although I have n't met this other man , I feel so exposed now , like the whole world knows about what I was doing . DEIDRE SAYS : Family secrets are damaging but now the cat is out of the bag and your children have expressly asked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be best to come clean . If you do n't , your children may never forgive you , even though they are adults and should be able to handle the fact that you are not perfect . While honesty about cheating is not always the best policy , because sometimes all it does is cause pain and misery , I would suggest that as your whole family knows except your husband , it 's not fair to expect them to keep your secret , or to leave him the only one left in the dark . My support pack Looking After Your Relationship will help you with this . DEAR DEIDRE : I BITTERLY regret proposing to my partner years ago . We are getting married in two months ' time , but I feel I am at breaking point . We are both 39 and have been together for 15 years . We have three gorgeous children . My partner accuses me of taking over the planning of the wedding , saying she did n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her too much stress . Our relationship is not going well . In fact , it is falling apart . We only have sex when my partner feels like it , which is once a month . She shouts at me when I say anything to her about it . She accuses me of gaslighting her and makes me feel rubbish . I have told her that if she wants to cancel the wedding then to go ahead and do it . She then belittled me in front of her family . When I say anything back , she makes it seem like it is my fault . I question whether she actually loves me . When I have asked her , she says as a joke " You 're still here , are n't you ? " I do n't know how I got to the stage where I am scared to annoy or disappoint her . I do n't feel like a man any more . What should I do ? DEIDRE SAYS : This sounds more serious than just wedding jitters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's too late . Do n't go ahead with the wedding just because it 's booked . Divorce is more difficult than postponing or cancelling . You must sort out the problems in your relationship before you get married or you could both be very unhappy , more so than you are now . Talk to your fianc ? e , share your fears with her , and then decide what is right for the two of you . My support pack on Standing Up For Yourself will help you to do this . DEAR DEIDRE : THINKING of the past brings me shame and pain . I am a single man of 52 . I have made some bad mistakes that I really regret , so many I have lost count . I used to do drugs and drank a lot . It caused my relationship to break up and I rarely saw my children or other family members . I also lost my job and as a result really missed seeing my colleagues @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . I 've got a decent job which although is n't perfect , suits me . I even see my children who are grown up , but I still get upset when I think of all the people I hurt . I have tried so hard to focus on becoming a better person but every now and then I worry that I am still that bad person . It is making me feel suicidal . My mind does n't seem strong enough to push the negativity away . DEIDRE SAYS : Thinking about the past is natural but when you feel stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts it can be upsetting . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, 'cutting emotion out of something' involves an NP ('something') as a complement of the complex preposition 'out of', and it does not introduce a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it describes how Nish Kumar built a comedy career by mocking the press, which does not involve a causee or a prevention/movement interpretation. The phrase 'out of mocking the press' functions more as a description of the means or origin of his career rather than fitting the specific grammatical and semantic criteria of the transitive out of -ing construction.

This article contains affiliate links , we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it . Learn more My air fryer is one of the most-used pieces of equipment in my kitchen . My husband and I are often too tired to cook after a day at work but still want to eat something healthy and quick to prepare . I 've tested countless machines over the years , all of which promise to revolutionise the way I cook my meals , and as a Ninja fan girl I thought I 'd found the best one , until the Daewoo Actuate Smart air fryer landed on my doorstep . It is currently on sale for just ? 79 on Amazon , down from its original price of ? 119 . While it may look like a standard single-drawer air fryer when you take it out of the box , it actually uses AI to take the guesswork out of cooking , I know it sounds gimmicky but the results took me by surprise . So how does an air fryer use AI @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ foods -- including the most commonly cooked items in an air fryer such as chips , chicken , sausages , vegetables and fish fingers . It weighs and measures the amount before automatically adjusting the cook time and temperature . Aside from that , it can be used like any other air fryer . I use an air fryer for lots of everyday meals ; the likes of roasted veg , chicken thighs , chips or roast potatoes , which are cooked with less oil and more quickly than in my oven . They are also great for reheating left-overs ( if you 've never used an air fryer to reheat a slice or two of pizza , I suggest you give it a go ) . I was intrigued to how the Daewoo would cope with our day-to-day demands and whether the technology was genuinely useful and accurate . I tested this air fryer with one of our most-often cooked foods : chips , both frozen and homemade . For the frozen ones , I just poured in the amount we needed , closed the drawer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ photo of the food to determine how long it would take to cook and started the cooking process . To my surprise this worked really well , the chips came out perfectly cooked and did n't need any extra time on the clock . For the homemade ones , I parboiled them first and used a bit of spray oil and some salt , something I 'd always do with an airfryer unless it has a steam airfry mode like the Ninja as otherwise they can take too long to cook on the inside , resulting in a hard , burnt outside . Again , I selected the chips function and it recognised the difference between frozen and hand-cut ( I suspect that this is down to the weighing and measuring function ) . There 's a viewing window to the front and an internal light so that you can keep an eye on your food without having to keep opening and closing the door , letting out the heat . The LCD touch screen was surprisingly simple to use and made selecting the mode and adjusting the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ turned out really well ; they were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside . The homemade chips did brown a lot faster than the oven chips , which is perfect for me as I do n't like an anaemic chip , but that is something to keep an eye on if you prefer them softer . The time and temperature that the air fryer selected worked perfectly first time for both items without the need for me to manually adjust any of the settings . In my opinion , this air fryer outperformed the Ninja air fryer I have because all the chips were cooked evenly , and it also cooked them , especially the homemade , a lot quicker than the Ninja , despite the temperature limit only reaching 200 ? C on the Daewoo . While the AI tool can only detect 12 food types , you can adjust the air fryer so you manually select the time and weight , meaning as with any other air fryer , there 's very little that you ca n't cook in it . Plus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can cycle through the list of foods manually and select what you 're cooking . During my testing , the only time that it struggled was when I cooked chicken with a sauce , it could n't quite distinguish what the meat was in among , but it was super quick and easy just to select chicken and it still cooked it perfectly first time . There is a " shake " reminder , sends out an alert when it 's time to remove the basket and shake your food around . This does n't just sound at the half way point like some other air fryers , instead , it uses the camera to judge whether the food is cooking evenly which it got right every time I tried it . Setting aside the AI function , the Daewoo Actuate works really well as an air fryer . It has all the same functions as a regular air fryer with the ability to set the temperature and time . Its only limitation is the level of heat , it only reaches 200 ? C whereas the Ninja @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with some models like the Ninja Foodi 's having a Max Crisp setting that can reach 240 ? , which is better if you want to crisp skin on chicken or if you 're cooking roast potatoes but admittedly it is hot enough for most foods . I have a pretty small kitchen so I do n't have a lot of room for large clunky appliances , but I still need a decent-sized cooking basket ( there 's only two of us but we do like a big portion and it 's ideal for cooking multiple items at once ) , so the Daewoo Actutate was ideal . It has an 8-litre capacity cooking basket , but still manages to be small and compact enough not to take up too much space on the kitchen counter , unlike the Ninja Foodi Max 15-in-1 , which is bulky and takes up a lot of counterspace , or even a dual-drawer version like the Cusinart XXL . It 's also easy to clean , which , when it comes to finding the perfect air fryer , is an absolute must @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the dishwasher , it has a non-stick coating so you can wipe away any grease after use . If you do need to clean it more thoroughly , then a quick wash with some hot , soapy water will do the job . One thing to note is that you will need to clean the camera inside to ensure it keeps working properly , but it will alert you when that 's required . The Daewoo Actuate Smart Air fryer is small and compact with a generous sized basket ( Image : Rachael Penn ) The Daewoo Actutate Smart Air Fryer Final Verdict When it comes to air fryers , I 've always loved Ninja and have gone through a couple of different versions with my current being the Ninja Foodi Max 15-in-1 , vowing to never switch brand loyalty . But after testing the Daweoo AI smart fryer , I 'm a convert and I can confidently say it 's a brilliant buy . It is packed with features that you 'd expect to see on a higher-end and more expensive model . The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you no longer have to guess times or temperatures . I was blown away by how well it handled everything from chicken to vegetables . What really stood out for me was how simple it is to use . You just throw everything in , press a button and that 's it -- ideal for when you 're busy or just ca n't be bothered . This air fryer is the perfect choice for anyone who wants to simplify their cooking routine and enjoy perfectly cooked food without having to spend a fortune . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object and does not involve a VP2[-ing] predicate with a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Raffaele Mincione should be a happy man . He has made two serious fortunes in the world of high-risk investment finance , is comfortable with his wealth , effortlessly handsome and blessed with a beautiful wife and two daughters he adores . The Rome-born financier divides his time between Italy , Switzerland , Greece and the United States , but home is London and a sumptuously renovated Knightsbridge house ( a townhouse and two mews houses knocked into one ) , which is elegantly and expensively furnished . Mincione agrees when I suggest that , having just turned 60 , he should be enjoying this good life he has built . " I thought that by now I would be doing something different , something good for others , " he says . " Instead , I 'm completely bitter about so much about my life that I have difficulty in understanding it .

Gerry is part of the private security team that protects the Mincione family around the clock . He shows me into a sterile zone between the heavy front doors and secure inner doors where visitors can be discreetly assessed . Advertisement Mincione 's caution lies in the fact that he has become public enemy No 1 in the eyes of the Vatican , and he is increasingly fearful of what that might mean . Just over a decade ago he was asked to help the Catholic church invest a large amount of money . The funds ended up in a part share of a landmark London office building . Then the Vatican bought him out , lost money and accused Mincione of embezzlement . The financier has since been cast as the merchant in the temple , the wily money man who defrauded the church of millions . For the past five years he has been engaged in a tortuous , never-ending legal battle with the Holy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ special Vatican tribunal ( where the judges and prosecutors were appointed by the " victim " of the crime , the late Pope Francis ) and sentenced to five and a half years in jail with a ? 200 million confiscation order . Tellingly , in the UK , where the deal was done , there have been no police or financial authority investigations into what was a complex but not atypical London property transaction . Advertisement Mincione is free pending an appeal ( again to a Vatican court ) . But he is wary , fearful . He mentions the death of Roberto Calvi , the Italian banker who was found hanging from Blackfriars Bridge in June 1982 in another Vatican scandal . 60 Sloane Avenue , once owned by the Vatican REUTERS " We live with security all day long because , well , I never thought about it before but people talk in Italy about the London scandal and the Blackfriars Bridge affair . They start to make all these connections . My wife kept telling me I should take security @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these people are becoming aggressive . " There are 1.4 billion Catholics in the world . I do n't believe that there is a big complotto ... " He pauses , searching for the English word , looking to his wife for a translation . " Conspiracy , " says Maddalena , a luxury handbag designer . " Conspiracy , " he repeats . " I do n't think there is a conspiracy . I 'm not that guy that believes in conspiracies . But , all of a sudden , from being a normal person , I now find myself being judged . " Advertisement What he fears is the remote chance that he might meet a fanatic , someone who thinks he has robbed the church . We speak twice , once at his home and once over Zoom when he is in New York , and each time Mincione mentions there are only two theocratic states in the world -- the Vatican and Iran . Does he worry that he will be attacked by a religious extremist , as happened to Salman @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years after he was placed under a death sentence by Iran 's Ayatollah Khomeini in 1989 . " It could be when I go and buy a sandwich . It could be anywhere , " he says . A short walk from Mincione 's home leads to the building that has been the cause of all his trouble . Approached from a side street , the pink terracotta fa ? ade of 60 Sloane Avenue suddenly looms . Designed by the architect who built Harrods , it was originally the department store 's car showroom and repair workshop . Today that ornate exterior cloaks a steel and glass office complex , which looks largely and rather sadly vacant . Ground-floor frontages advertise retail space for rent . A first-floor window is dotted with Post-it notes , the remnants of a brainstorming session .

" Then we were told , ' You 've been so scrupulous . You 've been very efficient . Why do n't you invest the money in something else ? ' I said , ' I 'm invested already in a building in London . I do n't think you need to go to Angola to double your money if you want to make an investment . And the UK is a much safer place . ' That 's how we started the investment in the London building .

The potential returns were significant , with the apartments , once developed , earmarked for sale at about ? 27 million each . But the London investment and the Vatican 's financial activities were out of sync with the views of Pope Francis , who arrived in office in 2013 preaching a vision of " a poor church for the poor " . The man behind the Vatican 's investment strategy was Cardinal Giovanni Angelo Becciu , who held the position of Substitute , effectively the Pope 's chief of staff . It was Becciu who floated the Angola oil idea , approved the Sloane Avenue scheme and had direct dealings with Mincione . As Francis pursued an agenda of reform and transparency , Becciu came under investigation . ( A fortnight ago he withdrew from the papal conclave after reportedly being shown a request signed by Pope Francis before he died . Becciu said , " I have decided to obey the will of Pope Francis and not enter the conclave despite remaining convinced of my innocence . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that I really loved ' In October 2018 , Becciu was moved aside from his senior role and a month later the Vatican decided it wanted to end its association with Mincione and become sole owner of 60 Sloane Avenue . Mincione says he advised strongly against the move , citing the downturn in London property prices because of Brexit . " I said things are going to go back to normal . There 's a shock in the system in England . There was not a single real estate transaction being done until people knew what to do with Brexit . I said , ' We wait , ' but they did n't want to wait . " Mincione says he received pleading text messages from a senior cleric . " He kept telling me , ' Oh , you have to sell . Be a good Catholic , sell it to us . ' I was thinking , I do n't want to get in trouble with the church . " I felt like I was being kicked out . I was resentful . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ loved . I asked for the money , whatever was owed to me to leave . And that was it . " Mincione played hardball over the transfer of the property . He concedes his valuations of the building 's worth were " ambitious " but insists he was selling " a project not a property " . He accuses the Vatican of negligence by letting the planning permission lapse , causing the value of the building to drop sharply . Having lost confidence in Mincione , the Vatican used a middleman , Gianluigi Torzi , to oversee the property transfer . Mincione 's share was moved to a holding company controlled by Torzi , who was granted a meeting with the Pope and then demanded an extra ? 15 million to complete the procedure . A London high court judge later described Torzi 's conduct as " unscrupulous and dishonest " . In total , the Vatican is estimated to have sunk about ? 300 million into the building before selling it in 2022 to an American investment firm for ? 186 million . Mincione @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do , dealing on faith against the church " JUDE EDGINTON FOR THE TIMES MAGAZINE If Mincione thought his dealings with the Holy See were over , he was wrong . He was now a target of the Vatican 's new-found zeal for investigating what it considered unethical financial dealings . Initially he came under the spotlight because of his dealings with Becciu , whose conduct was under intense scrutiny . In 2019 , Vatican police raided the Vatican 's Financial Information Authority , seizing documents , phones and computers . Then , on a visit to Rome , Mincione had his phone and tablet confiscated by Italian police . After visiting the Vatican to sign some legal papers , his Italian lawyer was tailed through the city streets . Mincione believes they hoped to find him to serve an arrest warrant . With the investigation widening , Pope Francis used his extraordinary powers as an absolute monarch to issue decrees , known as rescritti , authorising phone tapping , email interception and arrests . The eventual destination @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trial of the century " , conducted over several months in 2022 and 2023 . The prosecutor , Alessandro Diddi , was known for having previously defended mafia bosses . The judges were appointed by and had sworn obedience to the Pope . The star witness was Becciu 's deputy , Monsignor Alberto Perlasca , who had been under suspicion but became a co-operating witness . After the trial he was appointed a senior prosecutor in the Vatican 's canonical court . Two weeks ago leaked papers showed the Pope wrote to Perlasca before he changed his evidence , while an audio recording implicated a senior Vatican official in advising the cleric on how to alter his testimony . The Vatican declined to comment . Becciu , once thought of as a future Pope , was the main defendant but many of his acolytes and associates were swept up in the net . He was accused of making a ? 125,000 payment to a charity run by his brother . Mincione found himself on trial with nine other defendants , including Cecilia Marogna , a self-styled intelligence expert @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kidnapped nun on designer goods and furniture , and a man accused of investing church money in Hollywood films . The initial charges against the financier inflamed Catholic opinion around the world . He was effectively accused of stealing from collection plates by using money from Peter 's Pence , the church 's global collection to help poor populations , in the Sloane Avenue scheme . Late in the trial the allegation was dropped and it was disclosed most of the money for the building had been lent to the Holy See by its long-term banker , Credit Suisse . No representatives of the Swiss bank faced any charges or appeared as witnesses . Pope Francis arrives for the weekly general audience in the Vatican last December GETTY IMAGES Mincione was instead accused of embezzlement in the deal to transfer the property to the Vatican in 2018 . Eventually he was convicted of the basic fact of accepting the Holy See 's money for investment in 2013/14 -- an offence that fell not under criminal law but under Canon 1284 of the Code of Canon Law @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ officials . Vatican News reported that his conviction was because the " investment in a high-risk fund was a gamble contrary to the prudence required by the Vatican 's rules " . Mincione was sentenced to prison for an offence of which he had never been aware . He is yet to serve a night in jail ( the Vatican does n't even have a prison , just three cramped pre-trial cells ) because he has lodged an appeal against conviction . Becciu received the same sentence and is also appealing . Angry and with a growing sense of injustice , Mincione has kept battling . He obtained a legal opinion from the international law expert Rodney Dixon KC , who expressed " grave concern " about the conduct of the investigation and said the trial was " marred by substantial violations of well-established international legal obligations applicable to all criminal proceedings . The evidence I 've seen shows Mr Mincione 's rights have been violated in a manner that severely undermined his ability to defend himself . " Mincione filed a complaint against the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and took his grievance to London 's commercial court . Thoroughly Italian in his style , accent and manners , Mincione loves England and placed his trust in the English legal system . He first came to London aged 18 to study history and the history of economics at university . Inspired by the film All the President 's Men , he had aspired to become a journalist until , shortly after graduation , he found himself being pursued by a recruitment agent . Mincione had never heard of the finance giant and had no desire to work in banking , which he imagined involved sitting behind a counter . " Then I went in for a set of interviews , just because of the money . And then I said , ' OK , interesting . ' There were all these kids trading -- very , very young people -- and it looked fun . That was 1987 . I sold my soul to banking . It was actually a very plain mathematical decision . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and New York . " I really thought that I was lucky that , by mistake , I found a place where I was good . " He worked for Goldman , Merrill Lynch and the Japanese bank Nomura . There were postings in London , New York , Tokyo and Moscow during the Wild West Yeltsin years . He became an expert in derivatives and debt refinancing and in 1999 made his first fortune when he gambled on Gazprom , the Russian energy giant . " I was in St Petersburg , in the Gazprom office , and I heard it said that , ' If we touch that switch , there will be no one in Munich frying an egg . ' I invested all my money there and made 20 times what I invested . " " How could a British financier be ' convicted ' of a breach of canon law ? " JUDE EDGINTON FOR THE TIMES MAGAZINE Now rich , he ducked out of banking ( " I do n't like bankers " ) and for a while did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up his own investment fund . As the financial crash of 2008 hit , he was well placed with his expertise in refinancing -- basically repackaging bad debts -- to make a second fortune . Since then he has been an investor and a dealmaker , making money and being prepared to lose money . With such a career path he was the ideal candidate to be the villain of the piece in the Vatican 's stated pursuit of becoming a poorer church . " I think the initial target was Cardinal Becciu and I was collateral damage , " Mincione says as he looks back on the legal battle . " But now I 'm the guy who 's resisting the most -- I 'm not complying . And I 'm becoming the main target because I 'm creating too much friction . " Last year , bruised from the Vatican trial , Mincione applied for 31 judicial declarations in London about the way he conducted his business dealings with the Vatican , including statements that he had behaved honestly . In a ruling in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 31 declarations and expressed surprise that the Vatican had become involved in schemes concerning oil drilling and luxury property . The judge commented it was remarkable that Pope Francis had been directly involved in complex financial decisions where the Vatican lacked the kind of experience and expertise necessary . However , there were two declarations the judge declined to grant Mincione , whom he described as " flamboyant " . Those concerned a request the court declare the financier and his funds had acted in " good faith " in their dealings with the Holy See . He said the Vatican " had reason to consider itself utterly let down in its experience with " Mincione and his associates . The financiers " made no attempt to protect the Vatican from fraudulent bad actors . They took no care towards the Vatican and they put their own interests first . " It was those very quotable words from the judge , rather than Mincione 's resounding legal victory , that dominated news reports of the ruling ( especially in Italy ) and allowed the Vatican to claim @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ordered the Holy See to pay half of Mincione 's ? 7 million legal costs . Mincione is rueful . " What a stupid thing for me to do , dealing on faith against the church . They know faith more than everybody else . What was I thinking , ' good faith ' ? I 'm happy that the court found I did everything legally and I 've not done anything dishonestly . But faith is not a question for a ' humble banker ' , not when you are up against humble priests . " One guy comes to court dressed in black with a cross and speaks about God . And the other one is a banker , who has already been given five and a half years of jail in the Vatican . The judge went against the church , the Vatican , on everything and then had to say , well , you know , at least on faith , I mean , let 's give territorial supremacy to the Vatican . " " Between my legal expenses and the Vatican expenses , together we must have spent something close to ? 20 million in this court case , " he calculates . St. Peter 's Basilica and square in Vatican City EPA In his mind there is a continuing tussle between this " What 's it all for ? " argument and his anxiety about what it means for his place in the world , his standing in the minds of his friends and his family . The man who has had so much success , who has played the markets and won , is worried about his legacy . He wants to be liked , to be well remembered . The damage to his image first hit when the Peter 's Pence allegation was making headlines . His daughters ' school , Godolphin and Latymer in west London , refused @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bursary fund because of the " potential reputational risk " . " I said , you should be teaching my daughter , and everyone else , that everybody is innocent until proven guilty . You should be accepting my money . ' No , no , no . We wo n't . ' " I realised that if little things like us donating money are already being looked at in a way that suggests I 'm guilty and are having an impact on my daughters ' environment -- because at school everybody was talking about it -- I felt I can not let go . I need to keep fighting . " But fighting comes with a cost . " The thing that upsets me the most is the waste of time , which you can not bring back . You can not buy it back . You can not do anything about it . It 's gone . " There have been friends who have died and I could not be close to them because I was so worried about me , me , me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was not part of many events when I was supposed to be there , again because I was caught up in this case . There 's so much I 've been deprived of . I feel like I 've already spent five years in jail in the process of defending myself . " I do n't think I 'm particularly sensitive , but this has taken me away from so much family stuff that is really important . " Even my job now is affected . I thought , OK , I can always do my work , but I spend so much time with lawyers thinking about defending myself from something that I still do n't understand . " After Pope Francis 's death , Mincione says his hope is that a new papacy will mean a fresh look at the Vatican 's " trial of the century " . " Perhaps they will ask just how could a British financier be ' convicted ' of a breach of canon law ? I think it is in everyone 's interests , including the church 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ |

Coronation Street fans are divided over what DS Lisa Swain 's next big move could be , but one main theory suggests it could be bad news for those wanting to stay safe in Weatherfield as it may see her out of policing . It 's now been four years since viewers of the ITV soap were first introduced to the detective seargent but it 's been in the past year that those watching have seen more of the character , with her getting more involved in life in Weatherfield . ?

Reasoning
×
The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The phrase 'takes the hassle out of emptying' does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'emptying' is a gerund functioning as the object of the preposition 'out of', and the construction does not involve a causer and causee relationship as required by the transitive out of -ing construction.

The best vacuum for carpet is one that has enough power to pull dirt and hair from deep in the fibers , but is designed in such a way that you can still push it along your floor without it getting stuck . While hard floors can be cleared of dust fairly easily , carpets are more demanding , which means you might need to spend a bit more for a vacuum that 's up to the task -- and especially if you want it to be able to deal with pet hair . We 've tested a wide range of models for our best vacuum guide , and these are the ones that really shone when it came to cleaning carpet . Our top pick is the Dyson V11 ( #1 ) ; an excellent all rounder that 's nimble and well-designed , with a powerful motor and superb suction . However , as a rule , corded uprights will always have more power than even the best cordless vacuums , so if you really want to deep clean your carpets , you should consider the Shark @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ find options for a range of needs and budgets . Every model listed has proven itself in our suction tests , but for our reviews also consider factors such as battery life , maneuverability and special features such as automatic suction adjustment and floor type detection . Read on for our pick of the best vacuums for carpet right now . This Halo model is one of the suckiest cordless vacuums we 've tested , tackling large volumes of dirt and pet hair with ease . It 's bagged , which might but some people off , but could have benefits for allergy-sufferers . The V8 is an older , more affordable Dyson vacuum that 's perfect for small carpeted homes . The lightweight design is nimble , and the smaller dust cup and shorter battery wo n't be an issue in more compact homes . It a little heavy for a stick vacuum , but the Stratos Cordless is great at suction and hair removal , and its flexible wand can get anywhere . If you spot a deal , this older Shark can be great @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ + Auto-detects carpet + Excellent suction + Useful LCD display - No dirt detection - No auto-empty option The Dyson V11 is the best vacuum for carpet overall . The suction is superb , offering excellent pickup on carpet with its Motorbar floorhead . It 's also relatively lightweight with a good-sized ( and easy to empty ) dust cup and great battery life , making it suitable for longer cleaning sessions . As with all the best Dyson vacuums , its very easy to maneuver , with a floorhead that will pivot any way you want it to , to get into all the nooks and crannies of your home . There are three suction modes to choose from , but the one you 'll probably end up using most is Auto . In this mode , the vacuum detects the type of floor it 's on and adjusts suction to suit -- so it knows to increase power when moving onto a carpeted area from a hard floor , without you having @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mode for light cleaning , and the ultra-powerful , battery-sapping Boost for ingrained dirt . A useful LCD screen will spell out exactly how long you have left of cleaning , in your current suction mode . It 'll also alerts you of any required maintenance tasks or blockages that need attention . This is n't the most powerful Dyson cordless stick vacuum -- both the V15 ( #6 ) and Gen5detect have upgraded motor designs . However , it 'll be plenty powerful enough for most people 's carpet-cleaning needs , and comes in at a more affordable price than both of those models . If you like this brand and are n't sure whether it 's worth upgrading , our Dyson V15 vs V11 article lays out the differences between these two models . + Better suction than cordless + Flexible design + Large dust cup capacity - Heavy compared to stick vacs - Corded Cordless stick vacuums are the norm these days , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , you ca n't beat a corded upright . Our pick of the bunch is the Shark Stratos Upright . For our money , it 's the best upright vacuum on the market . While it 's bulky and heavy compared to a stick vacuum , this vacuum has been designed with maneuverability in mind . Our reviewer particularly liked how you can detach the main unit from the floorhead and attach the wand , making it easier to clean under furniture . Another winning feature was its exceptional hair pickup capability , complemented by anti-hair wrap technology in the cleaner head that prevents hair from tangling around the dual brushrolls . This makes it particularly effective and low-maintenance for pet owners . Then there 's the innovative anti-odor cartridge system , which keeps both the machine and floors smelling fresh , a feature which worked well in practice in our testing . The Stratos Upright also boasts an anti-allergen complete seal , which captures and traps 99.9% of dust and allergens inside the vacuum . + Powerful suction @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ - Wo n't auto-adjust suction - Bagged option - Erratic pricing In terms of outright suction , the Halo Capsule X is one of the most powerful cordless vacuums we 've tested , making it a great choice for homes with lots of carpet . Our reviewer found it excelled at picking up various debris types from both medium and deep-pile carpets , from fine flour to large cornflakes , as well as proving effective at collecting pet hair . Not only that , but the vacuum operates quietly and is lightweight and comfortable to use , with good manoeuvrability . Unlike many modern vacuums , this Halo vac requires bags . The bag capacity is very generous , at 2 liters . There are benefits to bagged vacuums -- for example , they can dealing with fine particles without damaging the motor , and particles are less likely to escape back into the air when emptying the vacuum , which is good news for allergy sufferers . However , it does represent and ongoing cost and minor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , while bulky-looking , do n't interfere with arm movement during use . The Capsule X comes with two batteries , providing up to 50 minutes of runtime in medium power mode . The Pet Max bundle includes two motorized floor heads , a motorized pet brush , and additional tools for detailed cleaning . This is one of the more basic vacuums in our roundup , focusing on cleaning power rather than fancy features . Most notably , there 's no automatic suction adjustment based on floor type and dirt levels , as offered by the Dyson V11 ( #1 ) and V15 ( #6 ) , and Shark PowerDetect ( #5 ) and Stratos ( #8 ) models . + Affordable and often discounted + Lightweight and maneuverable + Excellent suction - Relatively small dust cup - Over-sensitive power trigger - Whiney noise in use If you 're on a tighter budget , check out the Dreame R20 . At list price it 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and take it down to the top of the budget price bracket -- and you 're getting incredible value for money at that price . The suction on the R20 is excellent , and it did a sterling job at cleaning the embedded pet hair from our tester 's carpets ( a true test for any vacuum 's powers ) . In fact , you might find the suction is too strong and you end up getting stuck on medium- and deep-pile carpet . Thankfully , Dreame has addressed this issue by including a ( slightly hidden ) slider to adjust air intake . Our reviewer found this solved the problem completely , making the R20 far easier to push on carpet without impacting its cleaning power . Elsewhere , you 're getting a very strong all-round package . There are two floorheads included : one multipurpose one for any floor type ( carpet included ) , and a second soft one that 's specialized for use on hard floor . The battery life is exceptional at up to an hour and a half of cleaning on a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the design modern with a cool LCD screen to provide information . Overall this vacuum is highly maneuverable , with a lightweight build and floorheads that can swivel to nearly 90-degrees for getting into tight corners . Shoppers looking for clean carpets without breaking the bank will struggle to do better than the excellent Dreame R20 , but if you 're looking for more budget-friendly alternatives , head to our roundup of the best cheap vacuum cleaners . + Auto-adjusts for carpet + Powerful suction + Optional auto-empty dock - Not as maneuverable as a Dyson - Ca n't use Eco mode on carpet The PowerDetect Cordless combines the superb suction of the Stratos cordless ( #8 ) with the automatic adjustment features of the Shark Detect Pro cordless , and it really delivers . What 's more , it adds an optional auto-empty base that really takes the hassle out of emptying . On test , it sailed through all our suction tasks ( only corded uprights @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ power within this brand 's lineup ) . If you choose the auto-empty base , when the vacuum is docked , all the dust will be sucked out via a closed system into a larger bin in the base . That means you wo n't need to empty it nearly as often . For allergy sufferers who 'd rather not deal with bags , it could be a good alternative to the Halo at #3 . There 's also an impressively wide range of automations . It 'll speed up the rollers when it senses it 's moving from hard floor onto carpet , and amp up suction based on how dirty the floor is ( although its dirt-sensing is n't as precise or as advanced as the Dyson V15 at #6 offers ) . Our tester was especially impressed with the edge cleaning features -- it 's the only vacuum here that can amp up suction when it 's near the edge of a room , where dust can collect . It 's also designed to be able to collect larger debris when being pulled backwards , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the floorhead . Maneuverability is good , too -- as with many Shark vacuums , there 's a wand that can be released to bend forward , so you can get under furniture without having to crouch down . + Advanced suction auto-adjustment + Very powerful motor + Top-quality , usable design - Investment price - Noisy on full power If you have cash to splash , the Dyson V15 Detect is worth the investment . It combines impeccable build quality with advanced features , and -- of course -- ultra-powerful suction for pulling dust and dirt from deep down in carpet fibers . The USP here is that the main floorhead contains sensors that continuously monitor what 's being sucked up , and report it back in real time on a little screen on the main unit . That means you can be doubly sure the patch of floor you 're on is free from dust and dirt before moving on . There 's also an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how much dirt is on the floor ( it 's a step up from Shark version of this tech ) . All that means a low-effort , effective clean that maximizes battery life . Because it 's a Dyson , you can expect a supremely usable design . A useful LCD screen gives you plenty of info , including how much time you have left on your battery , and if there 's a blockage . It comes with various attachments , including an anti-tangle hair screw tool for pet hair . We 're focusing on carpet here , but if you have a mixture of floor types in your home , you 'll appreciate the dedicated Fluffy floorhead that 's specialized for hard floors , and comes with a laser to illuminate hidden dirt . + Strong suction + More affordable Dyson + Lightweight , usable design - Small dust cup - No auto-adjustment The V8 is the oldest Dyson stick vacuum in the current lineup , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ especially good choice for people with small carpeted homes . It does n't have the latest mechanics , but the suction is still great , and plenty strong enough to tackle carpet cleaning . Along with the Halo ( #3 ) this is the joint lightest stick vacuum in our list , with a nimble , easy to maneuver design that 's perfect for guiding around compact spaces . Like most of the stick vacuum here , it can function as both a floor vacuum and a handheld unit , and it comes with various well-designed attachments for different cleaning tasks . The vacuum provides up to 40 minutes of battery life on its standard setting , which is n't the longest here , but is still decent , and long enough to give a smaller home a thorough once-over . Given that it takes up to five hours to recharge , you certainly would n't want to have to pause to wait for it to juice up mid-clean . Another reason that it 's better suited to a smaller home is that the dust cup is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ found in newer Dyson models , such as an LCD screen and automatic suction adjustment . If those are acceptable compromises , there 's good news about the price . At list price the V8 is one of the most affordable options here , and an especially budget-friendly buy for a Dyson . + Loads of suction + Forward-bending wand + Good deals to be had - Overpriced without a deal - Heavier option The Shark Stratos Cordless is a powerful cordless cleaner that 's great on carpet . It 's less advanced than the PowerDetect at #5 but comes with a similar list price , which means it 's not worth considering unless you spot a deal . However , because it 's an older model , it does attract hefty discounts fairly often , which is why we 've included it here . With the right discount it can represent great value for money . Our reviewer found the Stratos Cordless powerful , with strong @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one of the heaviest stick vacuums in this list , it goes some way to negating that by being fairly maneuverabile -- the floorhead swivels well , and our tester was especially enamored with the popular flexible wand that bends in forwards at the click of a button , so you can clean under furniture without squatting or bending over . Other great features include an odor-neutralizing puck and a floorhead design that effectively prevents hair wrap around the brushrolls . ( We rate the Shark Stratos Cordless as the best vacuum for pet hair . ) Battery life is impressive , too . If you can find the right deal and do n't mind the extra weight , this vacuum is a great cleaner . See exactly how it compares to our top-rated Shark in our Shark Stratos vs PowerDetect article . When choosing a vacuum cleaner for carpets , there are several types and features to consider , and each has its own pros and cons . So it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your own specific needs and home layout . To start with , upright vacuums are known for their powerful suction and wide cleaning path . They often come with rotating brushes , aka beater bars , that are effective at deep cleaning carpets . However , they can be heavy , bulky and difficult to maneuver around furniture , making them best suited for large carpeted areas and homes with high-pile or plush carpets . In contrast , cordless vacuums offer more versatility and are easier to maneuver around and under furniture and on stairs . They also usually come with a variety of attachments for specific tasks . They are generally not as powerful as upright vacuums for deep carpet cleaning , but are still a good choice for homes with a mix of carpeted floors , hard floors and area rugs . Robot vacuums can also be a good choice for carpets , providing you use them regularly , as they typically do n't provide the same deep cleaning as other vacuums . These devices generally perform better on low to medium-pile carpets , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to choose the best vacuum for carpet When selecting the ideal vacuum cleaner for your carpets , several key factors come into play . Perhaps most obviously , suction power is crucial for effectively removing dirt and debris from carpet fibers , so look for models with strong performance in this area . A motorized brush roll is also useful , as it agitates the carpet to loosen embedded dirt . Some vacuums offer adjustable brush rolls to accommodate different carpet heights . You 'll also need to decide between corded models , which offer consistent power , and cordless options that provide greater mobility . Consider the vacuum 's weight and maneuverability , especially if you have stairs or multiple levels in your home . For more on this , read our article on the disadvantages of a cordless vacuum cleaner . There 's also a choice to be made between bagged and bagless models depends on whether you suffer from allergies . If you have pets , seek out vacuums with specialized pet hair removal features . And if noise is a concern , look @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vacuum 's versatility , so consider what tools are included . Also , some high-end models offer smart features like automatic suction adjustment or app connectivity .

Audrey Hepburn 's movies have often created an image of romance born out of thrilling escapades , hilarious hijinks , and a sudden rush of emotion . The actress was known for starring in romantic comedies that inspired many love stories to come , from her Oscar-winning turn in Roman Holiday to the love triangle of Sabrina to Breakfast at Tiffany 's intoxicating heroine . Back in 1951 , the actress announced her engagement to industrialist James Hanson . The pair met in 1950 , when she 'd just finished work on the film Young Wives ' Tale and was on the cusp of making her Hollywood breakthrough . As described in the 1984 biography Audrey Hepburn : Fair Lady of the Screen by Ian Woodward , James , seven years her senior , was the son of a Huddersfield businessman and one of the most eligible young bachelors around town @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ party and entered a relationship soon after . While their romance was quiet , he was a fixture by her side when she began starring in the Broadway play Gigi starting in 1951 , which made her a star on the stage . However , it came as a surprise to the general masses when on December 4 , 1951 , their engagement was announced in the London Times , and their wedding was reportedly planned for early 1952 . James Edward Hanson , soon to be known as Baron Hanson or Lord Hanson , was one of the most notable industrialists of 20th century England , who had been dubbed " Lord Moneybags " by the press . After inheriting his father 's business , he became known for quickly expanding his businesses through leveraged buyouts with Hanson plc , now known as Heidelberg Materials UK , and Hanson Trust . He began buying other companies with his longstanding business partner Gordon White ( later Lord White ) , the most lucrative being the 1989 purchase of Imperial Group @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the time of his death in 2004 at the age of 82 , Lord Hanson 's personal wealth was estimated to be between $100-$200 million . As per the New York Times , in 1996 , his companies had combined sales estimated to be nearly $18 billion . By 1952 , Audrey 's life began taking on more of a whirlwind-like form , thanks to the immense success of Gigi and the prospect of Hollywood . Most notable was Roman Holiday , the 1953 film that would eventually earn her an Oscar , and began filming the previous year . As such , the couple 's competing schedules often kept them apart . Per the biography , the couple would have discussions about their wedding behind-the-scenes , but kept quiet on the public front . They 'd decided on a date , and Audrey even had her wedding dress fitted . But in December , an announcement read : " The engagement between Mr. James Hanson and Miss Audrey Hepburn has been broken . " The couple stated , per @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ between them and their busy lives kept them too far apart for the marriage to work . Audrey eventually issued a statement of her own that simply said : " When I get married , I want to be really married . " Soon after , Audrey met actor Mel Ferrer , tying the knot in 1954 . They welcomed one son before parting ways in 1968 . She married psychiatrist Andrea Dotti in 1969 , welcoming another son before their 1982 divorce . In the years leading up to her death , she was in a relationship with Dutch actor Robert Wolders . James , meanwhile , also dated Jean Simmons and Joan Collins before eventually marrying Geraldine Kaelin in 1959 . He became a stepfather to her daughter and they welcomed two sons together , Robert and Brook ( who tragically passed away in 2014 ) . |

What does it take to judge the best in marketing ? Mastercard 's Prateek Sood and Hasbro 's Jessica Murphy reflect on a day of intense debate , creative surprises and candid insights from behind the jury table at The Drum Awards for Marketing Americas . Pratik Sood and Jessica Murphy Judging the very best in marketing is n't for the faint-hearted . Just ask Prateek Sood of Mastercard and Jessica Murphy of Hasbro , the president and vice-president of The Drum Awards for Marketing Americas 2025 . After a full day of spirited debate , unexpected turns , and more than a few changed minds , they walked away with a new appreciation for the passion -- and pressure -- that defines modern marketing . " One consistent theme that came up is people are so passionate about their choices , " said Sood . " It shone bright . You had a good group of people in the room who felt very strongly and put it to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ added , " I actually am surprised that it 's already five . I do n't even know where the day went . The debate at the end of the day actually changed some opinions . That 's what I love about it . " The judges praised the level of commitment entrants brought to the table , but were surprised by one thing : the relative absence of artificial intelligence . " For everything we hear about AI , I actually did not see AI as much as I thought I would , " said Murphy . " There were a few categories that used it , but a lot of it was just purebred creativity . " But that 's not to say the entries were predictable . One of the strongest themes to emerge was the need for judges to confront their own unconscious biases . " I find that people , including me , are really apt to say , ' Oh , well , they had a big budget , ' " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well done . We pride ourselves on overcoming challenges , so we get really emotionally invested in brands that make something out of nothing ... but that can be a disservice to big-budget work that is executed beautifully . " Sood agreed . " We were just chatting about how I think both of us loved redacted campaign -- big brand , big budgets -- but the creativity is really what stands out . You have to be able to separate the two biases . " Advertisement Both noted that the best entries successfully balanced creativity with clear strategy and real results . " It 's very clear based on the 13 Grand Prix finalists that came through -- the creativity is there , and they 're overcoming a particular kind of challenge , " said Sood . So what should entrants do better next year ? " Regardless of your budget , your size , or what part of the country or world you 're from -- just go for it , " said Sood . " Some of the most impressive entries @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a single campaign . That 's huge risk-taking . You 've got to applaud it . " Murphy emphasized structure and clarity . " I would say be concise and thorough . It 's a hard balance to strike , but I read some entries that were too long and some that were incomplete . Some did n't take me through their process or did n't list the KPIs . Have an eye toward thoroughness -- but be concise . " Advertisement A key miss for many ? Business results . " A lot of them did n't state the business results very clearly , " said Sood . " In these kinds of judging competitions , you really have to link it to your impact . " Murphy added , " It 's hard to have clear metrics against a brand campaign , and I think that 's why fewer companies are doing them . But brand work is important . We need to get crisper on brand campaign KPIs . " Another notable shift was the strategic use of earned media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ work that may start with paid media but is designed to stimulate earned . It 's a good strategy . It works very well for certain brands , " said Murphy . In short , if you 're entering next year , the advice is simple : be bold , be clear , and do n't underestimate the power of creativity -- whether you 're backed by millions or just a few thousand . As Sood summed it up : " It was a great day . Got to know one another , got to know some fellow judges . Everybody was really invested .

The two-time golf major winner is still on the comeback from a 16th surgery after requiring an operation on his left hand earlier this year .

The magnificent Kilim Geoforest Park in Langkawi ALAMY Hannah Summers Thursday May 08 2025 , 5.00am , The Times Two decades ago I arrived in Malaysia as a backpacker on a tenner-a-day budget . I stayed on the Perhentian islands in the country 's northeast ; the setting was idyllic -- soft white sand , turquoise waters . My accommodation , less so -- it featured a shower that was just a hose , and a loo that was a hole in some floor tiles , and I shared my bed with a family of over-friendly cockroaches . I vowed to return one day , with more cash and better in-room company . Twenty years later , hearing of the new direct British Airways flights from London to Kuala Lumpur ( which launched in March ) , I did just that . Still cost-conscious , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to swap ? 3-a-night huts for cool beach hotels and stylish city stays . My plan was to recalibrate my husband 's and toddler 's jet lag in Kuala Lumpur before travelling on to Penang island , then to skip off for the beaches of the 100-island archipelago of Langkawi . An easy hop from KL , it lies close to the border with Thailand , a country whose own hotel prices are soaring at the top end . Though I 'm more picky about my accommodation these days , I craved the same food I ate two decades ago -- the cheap local eats that give a far better sense of a place than fancy restaurants . So in Kuala Lumpur we threw ourselves straight into discovering the hole-in-the-wall spots that serve curries and claypot bowls of rice , with flavours influenced by the country 's mishmash of cultures . Most residents consider themselves Malay , Indian or Chinese , which is apparent in the mosques and Buddhist , Hindu and Chinese temples that exist here , and in the huge range of eating options . Kek @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ city of George Town on Penang SHUTTERSTOCK Over our heads , the final touches were being made to the Merdeka 118 , which , when it opens later this year , will be the second-tallest building in the world . At the top will be the new Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur , one of several luxury hotels slated to open in the city , with the Waldorf Astoria soon following . If your wallet does n't stretch , then the Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur , a restored 1930s mansion , is a glam ? 100-a-night alternative -- its refreshing pool was a hit with all of us after hours venturing out in the city . A 30-minute flight or four-hour drive north is Penang island . Some stay for its beaches , though they were n't the reason for my visit . I was there to eat my way through George Town , an easily walkable , Unesco-listed city that has a potent cocktail of exciting things to see and do . Colourful Chinese shophouses , tall and skinny yet deep ( some of them 100ft long @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In the evening , we strolled between the night markets and hawker stalls that dot the central streets ; in the day I lurched between restaurants with a list of dishes I wanted to try . Perching on a plastic stool with fans whirring overhead at Kedai Kopai Malabar I scoffed char kway teow -- flat noodles fried with prawns and egg with a side of sweet nutmeg juice to drink ( 55 Kampong Malabar ) , before heading to a tiny restaurant , Penang Road Famous Laksa , for laksa noodle soup , which comes with its own slightly fishy spin and clear , instead of creamy , broth ( 5-7 Lebuh Keng Kwee ) . Each meal cost only a couple of pounds . The following morning we spent ? 1 between us on breakfast at a roadside stall , consisting of tarik , a sweet , milky Malaysian tea that 's served hot or cold , and roti canai -- flaky , fried flatbread with a surprisingly toddler-friendly dal or a slightly more spicy chicken curry . On another we opted for a more Malay-style breakfast @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and an eye-smarting spicy shrimp paste . As we explored we took in the city , where exteriors of shophouses were covered in so much street art that there are self-guided walking tours dedicated to seeing it , from a steel-rod sculpture of where the city 's famous son Jimmy Choo made his start to stencils of cats that my two-year-old loved seeking out . A few streets away I stood on a pavement and saw a Christian church , Hindu temple and Chinese temple all at once , and worshippers harmoniously criss-crossing roads to reach their chosen spot . Elderly men , their faces crinkled by decades of working in the sun , manned trishaws -- three-wheeled bikes that whizz locals and tourists from A to B. George Town is an easily walkable city SHUTTERSTOCK I loved George Town , and the aggressive much-needed air con of my ? 90-a-night boutique hotel , the George , but it was with some relief that , after a few days wilting in the heat , we flew to the main island of Langkawi in Malaysia 's northwest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ especially compared with its Thai island neighbours , such as Koh Lipe , which is a 90-minute speedboat ride north . About 25,000 acres of Langkawi have been designated Geopark status by Unesco , which means that construction is clustered around several busy towns , and that high-rises are few and far between . Hotel building is very controlled , yet the island is still dotted with some of the best in southeast Asia , from ludicrously luxurious rainforest retreats to characterful antique Malay houses . That it has a majority Muslim population means that this is n't a place for beach bars and nightlife . Instead , when people do drink it tends to be in their hotels ( where even imported wine and spirits are cheap ) , and there 's something quite satisfying about freeing yourself from evening plans and just slipping into the rhythm of where you 're staying . I was here to check out several hotels and at our first , the Four Seasons , we relaxed among its uplit palms and on its long beach . In my outdoor shower I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nine dusky leaf monkeys peered down at me from the top of the wall . I was close enough to see the softness of their grey fur and the wide eyes of their Tango-orange babies , who clutched on to their parents ' tummies , oblivious to the fact that their home is one of the plushest and most peaceful pads on the continent . One of the Four Seasons ' sprawling villas Across the border , Thailand is still revelling in the TV glory of series three of the hit HBO series The White Lotus , shot at another of the brand 's resorts . Inevitable price rises have followed with the subsequent increase in demand : this September , a two-bedroom residence at the Four Seasons Koh Samui ( where the show was filmed ) , costs upwards of ? 4,000 a night , while its Four Seasons counterpart on Langkawi is similarly tropical but a comparative steal at ? 2,000 a night . That 's at the upper end , but if you do n't book a suite with a private pool ( and there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get a smaller room here for ? 380 a night B&B -- and still brag about staying at a Four Seasons . Despite its sprawling villas , ponds and roster of things to do , the Four Seasons is n't even the swishest hotel on Langkawi . That would be the Datai , the island 's most sustainable hotel , which opened some 30 years ago with stilted villas scattered across the rainforest . It 's clear that many of the guests here have been returning ever since -- they know what they like ( loafers and red shorts and the lush , peaceful setting ) and what they do n't ( my toddler ) . They eat breakfast in stoic silence before sunbathing on a ridiculously pretty beach , then dip in and out of upcycling workshops . Some of the island 's best restaurants are in the hotel 's grounds , such as the Pavilion , with its fiery Thai dishes , and Gulai House , where I devoured a rich beef rendang curry . You could n't call the rooms at the Datai cheap at ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a special setting , ? 17 for a main is a relative bargain . Advertisement The pool at Pangkor Laut Resort Cash goes a little further at the Ritz-Carlton , towards the west of the island , which is luxurious yet unstuffy . Golf carts whizz around the resort with toddlers and teenagers riding up front , and children splash around on the beach ( there are adult-only areas too ) . But it 's the Danna hotel which turns out to be the most surprising luxury stay of my trip , with its huge pool -- the biggest on the island -- and happy guests that seem to be majority expat British families holidaying from Kuala Lumpur or Singapore . Huge , bright , charmingly old-fashioned rooms start from ? 250 a night -- worth it for the breakfast buffet alone , with its freshly made pastries , dim sum , curries and perfect eggs benedict . It 's tempting to just hole up in one of the hotels here , but you would n't want to miss Langkawi itself . Most people head @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in , but personally I 'd give it a swerve , and venture out instead on a mangrove boat tour to watch monkeys scampering through trees , snakes coiled around branches and mudskippers that scuttle across the banks at low tide ( ? 45 per boat for two hours ; book through your hotel ) . You 'll also get much more of a sense of the island by hopping in a hire car and driving the perimeter and interior , where monkeys hang out on the white lines of long roads , threatening to leap across your lane . Stalls selling everything from car tax to coconuts came out of nowhere as we made our way between beaches -- Tanjung Rhu in the north for its calm atmosphere , Chenang in the south for a livelier feel and smattering of beach caf ? s . And a full tank of petrol in a large saloon car ? Just ? 11 . For all the different hotels , there 's one spot that feels more special than the rest . Dotted around a long , skinny pool , warmed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seven wooden century-old Malay houses at the Bon Ton boutique resort . Here we clambered up a set of stairs , ducked our heads through our low door and emerged into a wooden pitched-roof space with a net-draped bed , colourful throws and wooden bath tub . Outside , dogs and cats roamed happily , snoozing under the shade of the antique stilted houses . Non-residents wandered into the open-air restaurant for fresh juices and to spot one of 20 or so species of birds in the wetlands beyond . " We 're not a hotel , we 're a family , " Narelle McMurtrie , the effortlessly cool Australian owner told me , referring to her dogs , cats , artists in residence and friendly young team . Staying here encourages deep relaxation -- some people come to write books , others spend months of maternity leave here nursing newborn babies under coconut trees . Rick Stein is a regular . " Ahh , that 's Rick 's favourite curry , " McMurtrie said , referring to the prawn and pineapple curry my husband had chosen . My @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of seven of the country 's big-hitters , including mango and cashew nut salad and beef with peanuts ( ? 11 ) . Swinging on a bench there after dark I could n't help but feel a bit smug that I 'd stumbled across this spot , with everything there is to love about Malaysia -- it offers peacefulness , affordability and the chance to surround yourself in nature . It may not be ? 3 a night , but ? 100 a night -- with a proper loo and shower and no cockroach bedfellows -- feels like a steal for this former backpacker . Hannah Summers was a guest of Inside Asia , which has ten nights ' B&B from ? 2,596pp , including flights , transport , some private guiding , food tours and some other meals ( insideasiatours.com ) ; Tourism Malaysia which has car hire from ? 20 a day ( malaysia.travel ) ; and Holiday Extras ( holidayextras.com ) By Siobhan Grogan Nature lovers should head @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kuala Lumpur .

Climbing it takes two days through thick rainforest and over granite slopes strung with ladders , and is permitted only with a guide . For a gentler option , the surrounding region has easier hiking trails with panoramic viewpoints , hot springs , botanical gardens and a treetop canopy walk suspended 30m above the jungle floor .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It lacks a VP2[-ing] predicate and does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes shops running out of items, which is unrelated to the construction's properties.

How did Gloucestershire celebrate VE Day on May 8 , 1945 ? All day long is the answer . Even the day before , there were already signs of jubilation with people dancing in the streets . At The Cross in Gloucester , youngsters sang and danced in anticipation of the imminent German surrender . Flags started to adorn the city 's streets , and shops quickly ran out of bunting ribbons and patriotic symbols . After an initial wave of excitement , most residents returned home to listen to the radio , anxiously waiting for the official announcement . For weeks , even months , it had been clear that the war in Europe was nearing its end . It was simply a matter of confirming a date for Victory in Europe to be declared . Most preparations had already been made , and the festivities and street parties could commence as soon as Winston Churchill gave the green light . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ food shops , with bread and fish being particularly sought after . Patience was key . Making a phone call was almost impossible , with some kiosks besieged for most of the day . People wanted to share the news and speak of their experiences with their loved ones . A united service of thanksgiving took place at Gloucester Park , attended by thousands , just 90 minutes after the Prime Minister announced the unconditional surrender at 3pm on May 8 . The Mayor of Gloucester , Alderman HG Williams , solemnly declared three times : " The ceasefire has sounded in Europe " . Each time , the vast congregation responded : ' Thank God ' . Despite the celebrations , many people found it hard to believe . The long-awaited moment had , after all , taken six years to arrive after the war started back in 1939 . A hush descended upon the vast crowd as they paid their respects to those who would not return from the war . Canon TW Lambert , the Mayor 's Chaplain , honoured ' the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ old ' . The prayers , led by Rev FA Rowe , included a plea for those still facing hardship and physical danger in the Far East . It served as a poignant reminder that the war was not yet over , with thousands of Allied servicemen locked in what seemed like an unending battle against the Japanese . VJ Day - Victory Over Japan - was still on the horizon . But that would n't happen until August 15 , 1945 and two cities , Hiroshima and Nagasaki -would be obliterated . Below , you can see pictures of VE Day celebrations across Gloucestershire , as well as the front page of the Victory Issue copy of The Citizen from Tuesday , May 8 , 1945 .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'ran out of' is used in a different sense here, indicating depletion of stock, and does not involve a causee or a VP[-ing] predicate with movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

How did Gloucestershire celebrate VE Day on May 8 , 1945 ? All day long is the answer . Even the day before , there were already signs of jubilation with people dancing in the streets . At The Cross in Gloucester , youngsters sang and danced in anticipation of the imminent German surrender . Flags started to adorn the city 's streets , and shops quickly ran out of bunting ribbons and patriotic symbols . After an initial wave of excitement , most residents returned home to listen to the radio , anxiously waiting for the official announcement . For weeks , even months , it had been clear that the war in Europe was nearing its end . It was simply a matter of confirming a date for Victory in Europe to be declared . Most preparations had already been made , and the festivities and street parties could commence as soon as Winston Churchill gave the green light . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ food shops , with bread and fish being particularly sought after . Patience was key . Making a phone call was almost impossible , with some kiosks besieged for most of the day . People wanted to share the news and speak of their experiences with their loved ones . A united service of thanksgiving took place at Gloucester Park , attended by thousands , just 90 minutes after the Prime Minister announced the unconditional surrender at 3pm on May 8 . The Mayor of Gloucester , Alderman HG Williams , solemnly declared three times : " The ceasefire has sounded in Europe " . Each time , the vast congregation responded : ' Thank God ' . Despite the celebrations , many people found it hard to believe . The long-awaited moment had , after all , taken six years to arrive after the war started back in 1939 . A hush descended upon the vast crowd as they paid their respects to those who would not return from the war . Canon TW Lambert , the Mayor 's Chaplain , honoured ' the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ old ' . The prayers , led by Rev FA Rowe , included a plea for those still facing hardship and physical danger in the Far East . It served as a poignant reminder that the war was not yet over , with thousands of Allied servicemen locked in what seemed like an unending battle against the Japanese . VJ Day - Victory Over Japan - was still on the horizon . But that would n't happen until August 15 , 1945 and two cities , Hiroshima and Nagasaki -would be obliterated .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'by taking too many people out of paying tax at all' involves 'taking out of' but does not involve a VP2[-ing] predicate that induces a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a general action without the specific semantic properties required by the construction.

Mark Field 's thoughtful analysis is delivered with a side order of waspish insight Unsurprisingly , much of the media coverage about The End of an Era cast back over 20 years to Mark Field 's affair with Liz Truss , even though this relationship had already been made very painfully public at the time -- especially as she fought an attempt by the " Turnip Taliban " to deselect her as a parliamentary candidate in rural Norfolk . Field writes objectively about the strengths and weaknesses of the woman who went on to serve for 49 days as prime minister . " In fairness , over the next few years , with characteristic energy ... she identified the urgent priority for fast-track planning reform , increased housing density and affordable childcare . " The counterpoint is Field 's comment that this was , " All a far cry from her later descent into the world of faintly paranoid conspiracy theories and accusations of being thwarted by the deep state . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lending her a copy of " the story of reckless greed , excessive ambition and impetuous risk-taking on the Wall Street trading floor " , Liar 's Poker , " must also have been an inspiration of sorts to Liz , though we all had to wait almost two decades to understand precisely what that inspiration was " . We are treated to some perceptive commentary on his contemporaries Field writes just as candidly about the hopes , fears and frustrations that accompanied his journey from grammar school to Oxford , through entrepreneurial success and the decision to step away from a career with a City law firm to pursue riskier ventures . A lucky loss in a tricky seat in 1997 was followed by his selection as candidate for the seat of Cities of London and Westminster , and his entry to the Commons in 2001 . Many of us have similar stories of selection by narrow margins -- in his case , just three votes out of more than 400 decided it . In a very readable memoir , we are treated to some perceptive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the problems and challenges that were variously missed , ignored or created by governments of all stripes in recent decades . These include the folly of the private finance initiative ( without any identifiable transfer of risk ) ; excessive public spending ( whilst shrinking the tax base , by taking too many people out of paying tax at all ) ; the failure to address the problem of social care ; the lack of wisdom in keeping interest rates too low for too long ; the madness of repeated Covid lockdowns ; and the damage done by pushing far too many young people into higher education to study the wrong things , funded by ' loans ' many of which will never be repaid . All this thoughtful analysis is made more palatable by side orders of waspish insight : " Cameron was elected leader as a Blair tribute act just as the British public was falling out of love with the Blair project . " As minister of state at the Foreign Office , he also had a ringside seat to watch the rivalry between Rory Stewart @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the two men have more in common than Rory cares to admit : highly competitive , egotistical , hugely self-confident and with an over-developed sense of their own political destiny -- they both appeared to believe in their own innate right to lead . " Personally I agree with much of what Mark Field has to say ( although we were on opposite sides in the Brexit debate ) , but I suspect that most readers will be left regretting that he ended up despairing of politics : Parliament is the poorer without him .

The Transformers actress , who helped to launch the female-owned shelter back in 2022 , took to her Instagram Stories where she re-shared a recent post about a pup called Brooklyn who was recently saved and is now available for adoption . In her caption , Nicola , 30 , wrote : " Let 's get Brooklyn adopted ! ! " followed by a white heart emoji . Nicola 's comment was particularly noticeable , seeing as she chose not to include captions with any other re-posts from Yogi 's House . Nicola appeared to subtly weigh in on the alleged Beckham family ' feud ' Nicola 's social media update comes amid reports of a growing feud within the Beckham household . Various outlets have reported that Brooklyn and Nicola have drifted from Victoria and David , as well as Brooklyn 's two brothers , Cruz and Romeo .

" The couple , who tied the knot in 2022 , are making a life for themselves across the pond . It 's believed that Brooklyn and Nicola are currently living in Los Angeles , likely in Nicola 's uber-sleek apartment decked out with creamy hues and splashes of marble . They used to live in a beautiful home in Beverly Hills , which boasted five bedrooms , a rooftop terrace , a swimming pool and a yoga room . Speaking of their decision to up sticks , Nicola previously told Cosmopolitan : " We did have a house in LA at one point , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Oh , we 're going to go to Florida for a while ' . And then we 're like , ' No , just kidding , we have to be in LA for work . ' It was so silly of us . And now we 're saving up money to get our dream house . While Nicola is on the same page as her husband , she has spoken about her desire to focus on her career prior to starting a family . " Yeah , we definitely want kids . We need a house first , especially because we have so many puppies , " she told Cosmopolitan UK . " Brooklyn really wants kids now , but I want to do a few more things in my career first .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'out of giving something back' does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

" You need to be good footballers , that 's a given , but having a good changing room goes a long , long way to getting something done . " It 's also away from football , spending time together , doing things , it 's the only way you 're going to get success .

As the nation celebrates VE Day , thoughts turn back to some of the great Second World War stories of heroism , triumph , and indomitable spirit . We 're also reminded of the painful reality of the war , and the losses suffered by millions around the world . Such stories have fascinated television writers and producers -- as well as viewers -- for decades . Drama , action , documentary , and comedy have all dealt with the Second World War , all finding ways to inform , process , celebrate and sometimes poke fun at the war and the wartime experience . Second World War television was particularly popular in Britain in the Seventies . In more recent years , as TV turned prestige , the war has become a regular topic . Drama and action series have had the scope to explore the events of WW2 -- and the people involved -- with ever greater depth and Hollywood-level production . The below list represents some of the best television ever on the subject . These shows have been selected because they have something @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inherent about our relationship with WW2 history . Others have been instrumental in how the war is understood now , or how it 's depicted in popular culture . Here , then , is our ranking of the 20 greatest TV shows about the Second World War . Set in Nazi-occupied France -- pitting caf ? owner Ren ? ( Gorden Kaye ) and the French Resistance against feckless Nazi officers and the Gestapo -- the long-running sitcom has a comedy premise that would likely never make it to primetime TV now ( see also : the POW camp American sitcom , Hogan 's Heroes ) . Conceived as a parody of the late Seventies drama Secret Army , ' Allo ' Allo ! is broad and daft -- it gets plenty of mileage out of sausages , cartoon accents ( " Good moaning ! " ) , and the Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies -- but it served a more serious function beneath the childish wordplay . Like some other classic comedies , it processed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its Nazi officers by turning them into comedy buffoons -- something that would likely cause controversy if made in 2025 . ITVX A sequel to Wolfgang Petersen 's U-boat classic , this continues the themes that make the original so gripping -- the tension and claustrophobia that comes from being locked in a metal tube for months on end , and the submariners ' disillusionment with Nazism -- but it charts its own course over four seasons and navigates new , interesting waters . The glossy , German-made series begins with the inexperienced Kapit ? nleutnant Klaus Hoffmann ( Rick Okon ) taking command of a new U-boat while struggling to live up to the name of his war hero father . Back on dry land , German translator Simone Strasser ( Vicky Krieps ) falls in with the French Resistance . Alternatively , watch the mini-series version of Petersen 's original , which is essentially a five-hour cut of the film.Sky On Demand , NOW TV Vic Morrow in Combat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well known in the UK . However , with 152 episodes across five seasons , it 's the longest running WW2 drama on TV . It was also influential . Focusing on frontline infantrymen in France following D-Day , led by Rick Jason and Vic Morrow , the series showed war as a grim , agonising slog killed -- a contrast to glamourized , Hollywood-style action . It strived for realism and authenticity ( as much as could be achieved with the MGM backlot doubling up as war-torn France ) , and there were WW2 veterans in the cast and crew , including director Robert Altman , who helmed ten episodes in the first season . Altman was integral to the gritty , gutsy version of warfare , and insisted on killing off characters unexpectedly to put viewers ' nerves on edge.Episodes available to watch on YouTube Beginning with the Nazi invasion of Poland , this BBC series follows an ensemble cast of characters at home and in Europe , including Sean Bean and Helen Hunt as a pacifist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Berlin . Other characters include a dashing British interpreter in Warsaw , a singing-for-the-troops factory girl , and gay lovers in Paris . Like many modern WW2 series , World on Fire 's version of history says as much about the current times as it does the war . Some of the progressive story strands are a bit clumsy with political correctness , but it 's an admirable effort in looking at WW2 from a variety of lesser-seen viewpoints . And at times the series is utterly gripping . It was , however , disappointingly cancelled by the BBC after just two seasons.BBC iPlayer , Amazon Prime Video Masters of the Air Credit : Robert Viglasky The third Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks-produced WW2 series is an airborne companion to Band of Brothers and The Pacific . It tells the true story of the US Air Force 's 100th Bomb Group -- named the Bloody Hundredth for their heavy losses -- as they carry out missions on German targets . Starring Austin Butler and Callum Turner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the group , Masters of the Air is heavy on American flavoured-schmaltz and heroics , but the dogfight and bombing sequences are ferociously realistic . Indeed , the flying missions turn into close quarters warfare between the Americans and Luftwaffe -- the air crews ' bodies are sliced up by shrapnel , their faces blown away by gunfire , and skin torn off by freezing metal.Apple TV Joe Cole and Bel Powley in A Small Light Credit : Dusan Martincek A charming biographical series about Miep Gies ( Bel Powley ) , the Austrian-born woman who hid Anne Frank and her family during the Nazis occupation of the Netherlands . As happened in real life , Miep works for Otto Frank ( Liev Schreiber ) and collaborates with colleagues to hide Otto and his family in the secret annex . She sweet talks the Nazis and plays dumb while her husband Jan ( Joe Cole ) works with the Dutch resistance . Miep is sparky -- with a bit too much 21st Century sass -- but it 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moral compass during the occupation . Miep does the right thing while others accept the escalating Nazi atrocities . The scene of the Nazis discovering the Franks is tense -- despite its inevitability.Available to stream on U This adaptation of the Joseph Heller novel stars Christopher Abbot as Captain John Yossarian , a bombardier who tries desperately to escape his flying missions over Italy . It 's a whip smart , snigger-out-loud satire -- though also splendidly shot -- about the farcical bureaucracy of sending men to die . It was produced and partly directed by George Clooney , who also appears as one of several incompetent commanding officers , alongside Hugh Laurie and a scene-stealing Kyle Chandler . There are ( sometimes hilarious ) gruesome moments while the insanity of war is summed up by the eponymous catch : you 'd have to be crazy to fly these missions , so anyone who tries to get out of flying is therefore deemed sane and has to fly . As Yossarian puts it : " That 's some catch , that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Man in the High Castle ( 2015-2019 ) The Man in the High Castle Credit : Liane Hentscher It 's debatable whether this alternate history story counts as a proper Second World War series -- it is , after all , a dystopian science fiction story . It 's also very good and underpinned by a question that lingers in our ongoing interest in WW2 : what if the Axis had won the war ? What would that reality look like ? That 's the premise of The Man in the High Castle , which is based on the novel by Philip K Dick . It begins in an alternate 1962 , where the Germans and Japan control America after dropping an atomic bomb on Washington DC . Rufus Sewell is superb as American Nazi John Smith , while Alexa Davalos is drawn into the resistance movement when she sees a mysterious video of the Allies winning the war.Amazon Prime Video A powerful three-part series about five young friends in Berlin -- a wannabe starlet and her German-Jew @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ brothers destined for the Eastern Front . They expect the war to be over by Christmas , though the younger brother , Friedhelm ( Tom Schilling ) , correctly predicts that war will bring out the worst in them , and they 're soon sucked into the horrors of Nazism . The series -- originally called Unsere M ? tter , Unsere V ? ter ( Our Mothers , Our Fathers ) -- was a ratings hit in Germany but caused controversy elsewhere for letting its young Germans off the hook , portraying them as victims who are appalled by the officers ' war crimes -- while Polish resistance fighters are played as coarse anti-Semites . The question is whether they 're trying to face the guilt of the past or absolve themselves from it.Amazon Prime Video Michael Kitchen in Foyle 's War Credit : Greenlit Rights Ltd Created by Anthony Horowitz , this is the Second World War as a cosy detective drama .

Spies , refugees , black market spivs , dodgy top brass , and fascist sympathisers all feature across its eight seasons . It 's a cosy formula , perhaps , but a classy production and undeniably engrossing . The stories run parallel to real WW2 events and issues , making the show an investigation into war history from a British mainland perspective . The feature length episodes proved so popular than it was twice saved from cancellation by fan support.ITVX Steven Knight 's SAS origin story is a thunderously enjoyable romp -- across North Africa in season one and Italy in season two -- and leans heavily into bombastic SAS myth , much of which was spun by founding SAS officer , David Stirling ( played with heroic relish by Connor Swindells ) . The show has taken some flak for its creative licence -- particularly the portrayal of SAS legend Paddy Mayne ( Jack O'Connell ) as a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ true account of the SAS 's early accomplishments ( and failures ) . And though the dialogue and characters are sometimes too slick to believe , it 's all beefed up by stylised , adrenaline-jacking battle sequences . The first season 's disastrous parachute mission and airfield assaults are highlights , along with an invasion of Sicily in season two.BBC iPlayer Directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick , this seven-part documentary series is an epic retelling of American involvement in the Second War World . It 's far from a brisk watch -- episodes are meaty two hours ( or more ) each -- but the series covers immense ground . It chronicles the war in Europe and in the Pacific -- charting WW2 from the attack on Pearl Harbor to the troops returning home after VJ Day -- and how the war affected and shaped people in four American towns ( in California , Alabama , Minnesota , and Connecticut ) , with each experiencing a distinct impact . Talking heads come from mostly regular folk and veterans , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ photography and footage creates an absorbing , often sombre effect.Amazon Prime Video This landmark BBC drama put a female view on a usually masculine genre , telling the story of women in a Japanese POW camp ( based in Sumatra , filmed in Dorset ) . Tenko was created by Lavinia Warner , who learnt about female POWs while working as a researcher for This is Your Life , and it broke boundaries with an female ensemble cast , which includes Ann Bell , Stephanie Cole , and Stephanie Beacham . The women survive unrelentingly grim conditions and navigate issues of class , race , and relationships -- more sophisticated than textbook macho heroism . Tenko peaked with 18 million viewers and , 40 years on , still feels challenging , thanks to storylines such as the one that saw Dorothy ( Veronica Roberts ) losing a baby to dysentery and turning to prostitution with the guards.ITVX Laurence Rees 's six-part documentary took three years of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ since the liberation of Auschwitz . A disturbingly detailed , never-before-seen account of the Holocaust , it 's not just about what happened but how and why , based on interviews with almost 100 survivors and perpetrators . One of the most frightening interviewees is former SS infantry man Hans Friedrich , who recalls his part in shooting Jews with a placid , almost bored demeanour . He admits to feeling nothing for the people he killed . " Because my hatred towards the Jews is too great , " he says , totally unrepentant . The series also uses recreations of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp and its gas chambers , taken from Soviet-held blueprints that only became available in the Nineties.Available on DVD from Amazon The Pacific ( 2010 ) Credit : HBO Films A follow-up series to Band of Brothers , this follows three US marines ( played by Joseph Mazzello , James Badge Dale , and Jon Seda ) across the Pacific Theatre , from Guadalcanal to Peleliu , Iwo Jima , and Okinawa . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Band of Brothers . See the marines laughing as they take pot shots at a suicidal Japanese soldier but later face their fellow Americans ' blown-off limbs and spilled-out innards . Even a big moment of heroism -- for which GySgt Basilone ( Seda ) is awarded the Medal of Honor -- feels like a massacre , when he guns down swarms of advancing enemy soldiers . There 's also an initial uncertainty about what they 're fighting for . As one commanding officer puts it : " Tiny specks of turf that we have never heard of . " Sky On Deman , NOW TV Jacob Elordi and Odessa Young in The Narrow Road to the Deep North Credit : Ingvar Kenne This five-part Australian series -- based on Richard Flanagan 's Booker prize-winning novel -- tells the story of Dorrigo Evans , a doctor and POW on the notorious Thai-Burma Railway .

The recreation of their ordeal under Japanese captors is painfully true-to-life . The men -- just skin and bones in rags -- are worked literally to death as they suffer disease and malnutrition . There 's some power in the older Dorrigo 's words , too . In one early scene he claps back at someone who suggests that the Allies were capable of atrocities too . It 's easy to pass judgment when you did n't live through the horror of it.Coming to the BBC later this year Set in the supposedly unescapable POW camp of the same name , this series became the BBC 's most successful drama , and was central to a then-zeitgeisty fascination with all things Colditz . Dramatising POW life and the many escape attempts by Allied prisoners ( including David McCallum , Richard Heffer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has a sense of spiffing , tally-ho adventure as the men try to tunnel or con their way out of the castle . But it 's thumpingly good drama , too : slow-building tension , tremendous acting , a cycle of guest stars , and interesting relationships between the POWs as well as the POWs and German officers , some of whom are more than one-note villains . Escapes and characters were based on real events and people , with Colditz 's former escape officer Pat Reid onboard as technical advisor . Watched now it 's a real artefact of 1970s Beeb -- a level of writing , performances and atmosphere that outstrip the rickety-looking production values.Episodes available to watch on YouTube Do n't panic ! It might seem daft to rank the Walmington-on-Sea home guard above serious , battle-hardened war dramas -- yes , that bunch of old geezers led by the fussy , by-the-book Captain Mainwaring ( Arthur Lowe ) .

" ) , Sergeant Wilson , stupid boy Private Pike et al . " Do n't tell him Pike " is the obvious classic moment , though the real hilarity is in Mainwaring 's walrus-faced outrage , which is present and correct in every episode . Dad 's Army is , much like the war effort , the best of British.ITVX Shane Taylor in Band of Brothers Credit : BBC Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg produced this series -- the story of Easy Company of the 101st Airborne -- in the wake of Saving Private Ryan . Band of Brothers continued Private Ryan 's commitment to absolute realism in the battlefield but , with ten episodes and an ensemble cast of character actors and future A-listers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It follows Easy Company , led by Dick Miller ( Damian Lewis ) , as they go from their training to dropping into Normandy on D-Day , the disaster of Operation Market Garden , the relentless assaults and cold of Bastogne , and -- in one gut-smashing episode -- the liberation of a concentration camp in Germany . Despite some historical " infractions " ( as David Schwimmer 's unpopular captain might say ) , it 's broadly true . The brilliance is that it makes you part of the company by switching the focus between a range of men and perspectives -- both charismatic and ineffective leaders , men who are equally gung-ho or traumatised -- but mostly united by an unknowable courage . That sense of courage speaks to the ongoing fascination with WW2 stories : trying to understand how these men did what they did -- how they had to do it.Sky On Demand and NOW TV British troops arriving after Dunkirk Credit : Fremantle With magnificent , ominous narration by Sir Laurence Olivier @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as powerful now as when it first aired on ITV . Producer Jeremy Isaacs conceived the series , which takes a comprehensive look at the true scale of the war , from the hardships of the home front and Europe to North Africa , Burma , and the Atlantic .

The sentence 'you'd have to be crazy to fly these missions, so anyone who tries to get out of flying is therefore deemed sane and has to fly' fits the transitive out of -ing construction. It has the structure NP subject (anyone) + V1 (tries to get) + NP object (out of) + VP2[-ing] (flying), and it induces a prevention interpretation where the subject is attempting to avoid the action described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

As the nation celebrates VE Day , thoughts turn back to some of the great Second World War stories of heroism , triumph , and indomitable spirit . We 're also reminded of the painful reality of the war , and the losses suffered by millions around the world . Such stories have fascinated television writers and producers -- as well as viewers -- for decades . Drama , action , documentary , and comedy have all dealt with the Second World War , all finding ways to inform , process , celebrate and sometimes poke fun at the war and the wartime experience . Second World War television was particularly popular in Britain in the Seventies . In more recent years , as TV turned prestige , the war has become a regular topic . Drama and action series have had the scope to explore the events of WW2 -- and the people involved -- with ever greater depth and Hollywood-level production . The below list represents some of the best television ever on the subject . These shows have been selected because they have something @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inherent about our relationship with WW2 history . Others have been instrumental in how the war is understood now , or how it 's depicted in popular culture . Here , then , is our ranking of the 20 greatest TV shows about the Second World War . Set in Nazi-occupied France -- pitting caf ? owner Ren ? ( Gorden Kaye ) and the French Resistance against feckless Nazi officers and the Gestapo -- the long-running sitcom has a comedy premise that would likely never make it to primetime TV now ( see also : the POW camp American sitcom , Hogan 's Heroes ) . Conceived as a parody of the late Seventies drama Secret Army , ' Allo ' Allo ! is broad and daft -- it gets plenty of mileage out of sausages , cartoon accents ( " Good moaning ! " ) , and the Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies -- but it served a more serious function beneath the childish wordplay . Like some other classic comedies , it processed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its Nazi officers by turning them into comedy buffoons -- something that would likely cause controversy if made in 2025 . ITVX A sequel to Wolfgang Petersen 's U-boat classic , this continues the themes that make the original so gripping -- the tension and claustrophobia that comes from being locked in a metal tube for months on end , and the submariners ' disillusionment with Nazism -- but it charts its own course over four seasons and navigates new , interesting waters . The glossy , German-made series begins with the inexperienced Kapit ? nleutnant Klaus Hoffmann ( Rick Okon ) taking command of a new U-boat while struggling to live up to the name of his war hero father . Back on dry land , German translator Simone Strasser ( Vicky Krieps ) falls in with the French Resistance . Alternatively , watch the mini-series version of Petersen 's original , which is essentially a five-hour cut of the film.Sky On Demand , NOW TV Vic Morrow in Combat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well known in the UK . However , with 152 episodes across five seasons , it 's the longest running WW2 drama on TV . It was also influential . Focusing on frontline infantrymen in France following D-Day , led by Rick Jason and Vic Morrow , the series showed war as a grim , agonising slog killed -- a contrast to glamourized , Hollywood-style action . It strived for realism and authenticity ( as much as could be achieved with the MGM backlot doubling up as war-torn France ) , and there were WW2 veterans in the cast and crew , including director Robert Altman , who helmed ten episodes in the first season . Altman was integral to the gritty , gutsy version of warfare , and insisted on killing off characters unexpectedly to put viewers ' nerves on edge.Episodes available to watch on YouTube Beginning with the Nazi invasion of Poland , this BBC series follows an ensemble cast of characters at home and in Europe , including Sean Bean and Helen Hunt as a pacifist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Berlin . Other characters include a dashing British interpreter in Warsaw , a singing-for-the-troops factory girl , and gay lovers in Paris . Like many modern WW2 series , World on Fire 's version of history says as much about the current times as it does the war . Some of the progressive story strands are a bit clumsy with political correctness , but it 's an admirable effort in looking at WW2 from a variety of lesser-seen viewpoints . And at times the series is utterly gripping . It was , however , disappointingly cancelled by the BBC after just two seasons.BBC iPlayer , Amazon Prime Video Masters of the Air Credit : Robert Viglasky The third Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks-produced WW2 series is an airborne companion to Band of Brothers and The Pacific . It tells the true story of the US Air Force 's 100th Bomb Group -- named the Bloody Hundredth for their heavy losses -- as they carry out missions on German targets . Starring Austin Butler and Callum Turner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the group , Masters of the Air is heavy on American flavoured-schmaltz and heroics , but the dogfight and bombing sequences are ferociously realistic . Indeed , the flying missions turn into close quarters warfare between the Americans and Luftwaffe -- the air crews ' bodies are sliced up by shrapnel , their faces blown away by gunfire , and skin torn off by freezing metal.Apple TV Joe Cole and Bel Powley in A Small Light Credit : Dusan Martincek A charming biographical series about Miep Gies ( Bel Powley ) , the Austrian-born woman who hid Anne Frank and her family during the Nazis occupation of the Netherlands . As happened in real life , Miep works for Otto Frank ( Liev Schreiber ) and collaborates with colleagues to hide Otto and his family in the secret annex . She sweet talks the Nazis and plays dumb while her husband Jan ( Joe Cole ) works with the Dutch resistance . Miep is sparky -- with a bit too much 21st Century sass -- but it 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moral compass during the occupation . Miep does the right thing while others accept the escalating Nazi atrocities . The scene of the Nazis discovering the Franks is tense -- despite its inevitability.Available to stream on U This adaptation of the Joseph Heller novel stars Christopher Abbot as Captain John Yossarian , a bombardier who tries desperately to escape his flying missions over Italy . It 's a whip smart , snigger-out-loud satire -- though also splendidly shot -- about the farcical bureaucracy of sending men to die . It was produced and partly directed by George Clooney , who also appears as one of several incompetent commanding officers , alongside Hugh Laurie and a scene-stealing Kyle Chandler . There are ( sometimes hilarious ) gruesome moments while the insanity of war is summed up by the eponymous catch : you 'd have to be crazy to fly these missions , so anyone who tries to get out of flying is therefore deemed sane and has to fly . As Yossarian puts it : " That 's some catch , that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Man in the High Castle ( 2015-2019 ) The Man in the High Castle Credit : Liane Hentscher It 's debatable whether this alternate history story counts as a proper Second World War series -- it is , after all , a dystopian science fiction story . It 's also very good and underpinned by a question that lingers in our ongoing interest in WW2 : what if the Axis had won the war ? What would that reality look like ? That 's the premise of The Man in the High Castle , which is based on the novel by Philip K Dick . It begins in an alternate 1962 , where the Germans and Japan control America after dropping an atomic bomb on Washington DC . Rufus Sewell is superb as American Nazi John Smith , while Alexa Davalos is drawn into the resistance movement when she sees a mysterious video of the Allies winning the war.Amazon Prime Video A powerful three-part series about five young friends in Berlin -- a wannabe starlet and her German-Jew @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ brothers destined for the Eastern Front . They expect the war to be over by Christmas , though the younger brother , Friedhelm ( Tom Schilling ) , correctly predicts that war will bring out the worst in them , and they 're soon sucked into the horrors of Nazism . The series -- originally called Unsere M ? tter , Unsere V ? ter ( Our Mothers , Our Fathers ) -- was a ratings hit in Germany but caused controversy elsewhere for letting its young Germans off the hook , portraying them as victims who are appalled by the officers ' war crimes -- while Polish resistance fighters are played as coarse anti-Semites . The question is whether they 're trying to face the guilt of the past or absolve themselves from it.Amazon Prime Video Michael Kitchen in Foyle 's War Credit : Greenlit Rights Ltd Created by Anthony Horowitz , this is the Second World War as a cosy detective drama . Set in Hastings during WW2 -- just a short distance from the Western @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Michael Kitchen ) catch murderers , rumble profiteers , and solve a whole manner of war-related crimes . Spies , refugees , black market spivs , dodgy top brass , and fascist sympathisers all feature across its eight seasons . It 's a cosy formula , perhaps , but a classy production and undeniably engrossing . The stories run parallel to real WW2 events and issues , making the show an investigation into war history from a British mainland perspective . The feature length episodes proved so popular than it was twice saved from cancellation by fan support.ITVX Steven Knight 's SAS origin story is a thunderously enjoyable romp -- across North Africa in season one and Italy in season two -- and leans heavily into bombastic SAS myth , much of which was spun by founding SAS officer , David Stirling ( played with heroic relish by Connor Swindells ) . The show has taken some flak for its creative licence -- particularly the portrayal of SAS legend Paddy Mayne ( Jack O'Connell ) as a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ true account of the SAS 's early accomplishments ( and failures ) . And though the dialogue and characters are sometimes too slick to believe , it 's all beefed up by stylised , adrenaline-jacking battle sequences . The first season 's disastrous parachute mission and airfield assaults are highlights , along with an invasion of Sicily in season two.BBC iPlayer Directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick , this seven-part documentary series is an epic retelling of American involvement in the Second War World . It 's far from a brisk watch -- episodes are meaty two hours ( or more ) each -- but the series covers immense ground . It chronicles the war in Europe and in the Pacific -- charting WW2 from the attack on Pearl Harbor to the troops returning home after VJ Day -- and how the war affected and shaped people in four American towns ( in California , Alabama , Minnesota , and Connecticut ) , with each experiencing a distinct impact . Talking heads come from mostly regular folk and veterans , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ photography and footage creates an absorbing , often sombre effect.Amazon Prime Video This landmark BBC drama put a female view on a usually masculine genre , telling the story of women in a Japanese POW camp ( based in Sumatra , filmed in Dorset ) . Tenko was created by Lavinia Warner , who learnt about female POWs while working as a researcher for This is Your Life , and it broke boundaries with an female ensemble cast , which includes Ann Bell , Stephanie Cole , and Stephanie Beacham . The women survive unrelentingly grim conditions and navigate issues of class , race , and relationships -- more sophisticated than textbook macho heroism . Tenko peaked with 18 million viewers and , 40 years on , still feels challenging , thanks to storylines such as the one that saw Dorothy ( Veronica Roberts ) losing a baby to dysentery and turning to prostitution with the guards.ITVX Laurence Rees 's six-part documentary took three years of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ since the liberation of Auschwitz . A disturbingly detailed , never-before-seen account of the Holocaust , it 's not just about what happened but how and why , based on interviews with almost 100 survivors and perpetrators . One of the most frightening interviewees is former SS infantry man Hans Friedrich , who recalls his part in shooting Jews with a placid , almost bored demeanour . He admits to feeling nothing for the people he killed . " Because my hatred towards the Jews is too great , " he says , totally unrepentant . The series also uses recreations of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp and its gas chambers , taken from Soviet-held blueprints that only became available in the Nineties.Available on DVD from Amazon The Pacific ( 2010 ) Credit : HBO Films A follow-up series to Band of Brothers , this follows three US marines ( played by Joseph Mazzello , James Badge Dale , and Jon Seda ) across the Pacific Theatre , from Guadalcanal to Peleliu , Iwo Jima , and Okinawa . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Band of Brothers . See the marines laughing as they take pot shots at a suicidal Japanese soldier but later face their fellow Americans ' blown-off limbs and spilled-out innards . Even a big moment of heroism -- for which GySgt Basilone ( Seda ) is awarded the Medal of Honor -- feels like a massacre , when he guns down swarms of advancing enemy soldiers . There 's also an initial uncertainty about what they 're fighting for . As one commanding officer puts it : " Tiny specks of turf that we have never heard of . " Sky On Deman , NOW TV Jacob Elordi and Odessa Young in The Narrow Road to the Deep North Credit : Ingvar Kenne This five-part Australian series -- based on Richard Flanagan 's Booker prize-winning novel -- tells the story of Dorrigo Evans , a doctor and POW on the notorious Thai-Burma Railway . Played by both Jacob Elordi and Ciar ? n Hinds ( as younger and older versions , respectively ) , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wife , Amy ( Odessa Young ) -- his last grasp of happiness before being irreparably scarred by the war -- and his experience on the railway , which claimed the lives of around 100,000 POWs and labourers . The recreation of their ordeal under Japanese captors is painfully true-to-life . The men -- just skin and bones in rags -- are worked literally to death as they suffer disease and malnutrition . There 's some power in the older Dorrigo 's words , too . In one early scene he claps back at someone who suggests that the Allies were capable of atrocities too . It 's easy to pass judgment when you did n't live through the horror of it.Coming to the BBC later this year Set in the supposedly unescapable POW camp of the same name , this series became the BBC 's most successful drama , and was central to a then-zeitgeisty fascination with all things Colditz . Dramatising POW life and the many escape attempts by Allied prisoners ( including David McCallum , Richard Heffer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has a sense of spiffing , tally-ho adventure as the men try to tunnel or con their way out of the castle . But it 's thumpingly good drama , too : slow-building tension , tremendous acting , a cycle of guest stars , and interesting relationships between the POWs as well as the POWs and German officers , some of whom are more than one-note villains . Escapes and characters were based on real events and people , with Colditz 's former escape officer Pat Reid onboard as technical advisor . Watched now it 's a real artefact of 1970s Beeb -- a level of writing , performances and atmosphere that outstrip the rickety-looking production values.Episodes available to watch on YouTube Do n't panic ! It might seem daft to rank the Walmington-on-Sea home guard above serious , battle-hardened war dramas -- yes , that bunch of old geezers led by the fussy , by-the-book Captain Mainwaring ( Arthur Lowe ) . But the long-running sitcom captures so much about the British identity and its relationship to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the period , but the kind of resolve , spirit , and mucking-in that got the nation through the war -- combined with that all important British self-deprecation , as seen in Mainwaring blundering , ludicrous manoeuvres with Lance Corporal Jones ( " They do n't like it up ' em ! " ) , Sergeant Wilson , stupid boy Private Pike et al . " Do n't tell him Pike " is the obvious classic moment , though the real hilarity is in Mainwaring 's walrus-faced outrage , which is present and correct in every episode . Dad 's Army is , much like the war effort , the best of British.ITVX Shane Taylor in Band of Brothers Credit : BBC Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg produced this series -- the story of Easy Company of the 101st Airborne -- in the wake of Saving Private Ryan . Band of Brothers continued Private Ryan 's commitment to absolute realism in the battlefield but , with ten episodes and an ensemble cast of character actors and future A-listers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It follows Easy Company , led by Dick Miller ( Damian Lewis ) , as they go from their training to dropping into Normandy on D-Day , the disaster of Operation Market Garden , the relentless assaults and cold of Bastogne , and -- in one gut-smashing episode -- the liberation of a concentration camp in Germany . Despite some historical " infractions " ( as David Schwimmer 's unpopular captain might say ) , it 's broadly true . The brilliance is that it makes you part of the company by switching the focus between a range of men and perspectives -- both charismatic and ineffective leaders , men who are equally gung-ho or traumatised -- but mostly united by an unknowable courage . That sense of courage speaks to the ongoing fascination with WW2 stories : trying to understand how these men did what they did -- how they had to do it.Sky On Demand and NOW TV British troops arriving after Dunkirk Credit : Fremantle With magnificent , ominous narration by Sir Laurence Olivier @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as powerful now as when it first aired on ITV .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('do n't count them out of bouncing back'). It involves a prevention interpretation where the action of 'counting out' prevents 'them' from 'bouncing back'. The verb 'count' can be seen as exerting a metaphorical force, fitting into the classification of verbs by means of exerting force or pressure. The NP object 'them' functions as a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'bouncing back'. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The Championship play-offs are finally upon us , with Sheffield United , Sunderland , Coventry and Bristol City set to play out two semi-finals and a final at Wembley to decide who will take the third and final spot in the Premier League next season . Leeds and Burnley took the top two spots with 100 points each to seal automatic promotion , followed by the four remaining teams in the top six that will make up the play-offs . The play-off semi-finals take place over two legs with the winners going on to face each other at Wembley on Saturday , 24th May . Championship play-off first legsFlashscore Flashscore have previewed the play-offs , taking a look at all four clubs and who the major players will be over the next two-and-a-half weeks . While it 's naive to suggest anyone can be a favourite heading into the play-offs - a do-or-die time in the season notorious for just about everything going out the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the four . Chris Wilder 's side finished the season in third on 90 points , with a two-point deduction for defaulting on payments to other teams the last time they were in the division . That was 14 points ahead of Sunderland and 24 clear of seventh spot , with United also netting 63 goals and conceding only 36 . Sheff Utd current formFlashscore The Blades have the best defensive record of the play-off contenders thanks to impressive performances from goalkeeper Michael Cooper - but their individual brilliance further up the pitch is perhaps more impressive . Gustavo Hamer was named the Championship 's Player of the Season after registering nine goals and seven assists from a mixture of midfield and wide positions . The Dutchman has play-off experience in the past as well , netting at Wembley in Coventry 's losing effort against Luton in the 2022/23 campaign . Campbell is without a goal in seven games and Brereton Diaz has just four since arriving in January - while Cannon 's only goal for the Blades came in a losing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scored in 2025 but , in fairness , only returned from injury in February and has had limited minutes since then . The goals have been scattered throughout the team in recent weeks with no player netting more than once in the last month - which is unsustainable heading into the two biggest games of the season . As a result , Wilder 's side come into the play-offs in poor form with just two wins and a draw in their last seven games . They face Bristol City , who similarly slowed down in the final week of the campaign and lumbered into a sixth-place finish following their final-day draw with Preston . Sheffield United can be tentatively considered the favourites for a return to the Premier League but will need one of their misfiring forwards to step up across the two ( potentially three ) matches . Sunderland defied expectations this season with a fourth-placed finish under relatively unknown manager Regis Le Bris and even looked like challenging the top two earlier in the campaign . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cats dragged away from the automatic promotion race but still comfortably finish with 76 points - 10 clear of seventh . A season with so much promise has been dampened slightly in recent weeks after five consecutive defeats following a confirmation of their spot in fourth . Sunderland current formFlashscore Some of that can be put down to resting players and heavy squad rotation over the last month to ensure the freshest legs possible for the play-offs , but have the Black Cats now turned too far in the wrong direction ? Sunderland are without a win since the start of April and have scored twice from open play since drawing with Preston at the start of March . The lack of goals and wins is a cause for concern , with Le Bris ' side needing to completely turn things around in their play-off semi-final with Coventry . To make matters worse , Sunderland do n't have history on their side , having not defeated the Sky Blues since 2007 . One positive for the Black Cats is that they have players @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ high-pressure matches . Mayenda 24/25 statsFlashscore Wilson Isidor has been out of form for some time now but has already shown he can score a variety of goals - netting 12 this season , from tap-ins to stunning acrobatic efforts . Youngster Eliezer Mayenda is largely similar but perhaps offers more on the ball and has a certain unpredictability about him that could be perfect for the play-offs . Complimenting either of the strikers is Enzo Le Fee , who has often shown his qualities to be a cut above some of the opposition he has faced since arriving on loan in January , despite featuring out of position on the left wing . Sunderland 's play-off campaign could be won or lost based on the performance of their midfielders , though . The Championship 's Young Player of the Season , Jobe Bellingham , and Apprentice of the Season , Chris Rigg , have both flagged slightly over the last month but will be key players for the upcoming fixtures . Likewise , captain Dan Neil 's performances at the base of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and bad showing for the Black Cats . Statistics and momentum are n't on Sunderland 's side , but do n't count them out of bouncing back in the final matches of the campaign . Coventry are - just about - the in-form team heading into the play-offs . Frank Lampard 's side have been on a tear since the turn of the year with 13 league wins , but have equally won just one of their last three games and have five losses in their last 10 . That win came in a high-pressure match on the final day against Middlesbrough to secure their spot in the top six . What bodes well for the Sky Blues is that they showed they can perform when it 's needed most , as evidenced by the win against play-off chasers Middlesbrough . Coventry current formFlashscore Couple that with the strong momentum they 've built up since Lampard 's arrival and Coventry look like good bets for a strong play-off campaign . They face Sunderland - who are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 've already mentioned , are without a win over the Sky Blues in almost 20 years . A lot of that goes out the window when the semi-finals come around but it still adds an extra layer of mental pressure for both sides . Wright has 12 league goals for the season despite missing half the campaign through injury and even netted a hat-trick against Sunderland when the two clubs last met . However , his form since returning to the side has been slightly indifferent , with five goals in 12 games heavily boosted by his treble when facing the Black Cats . Rudoni 24/25 statsFlashscore Rudoni is the other standout with a whopping 21 goal contributions from midfield , bagging nine goals and 12 assists . His form has drawn comparisons to manager Lampard , and the Englishman seems to have taken his game to another level since the former Chelsea manager 's arrival - registering 16 of his goal contributions under the new coach . Perhaps the one problem area for the Sky Blues has been their goalkeeper . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up an ACL injury and second choice Bradley Collins was dropped for the final day after some less-than-desirable performances . Ben Wilson was therefore brought in from the cold and proved his worth against Middlesbrough with a match-winning display . That uncertainty could be exploited by Sunderland , although there will likely be very few worries from the Coventry camp over Wilson 's involvement in the play-offs following his final-day heroics - the veteran goalkeeper is also a boyhood Sunderland fan , which adds an extra layer of spice to the tie . Poor form to end the season has been a bit of a theme for all the play-off hopefuls this year and Bristol City were no different after losing two and drawing one of their final three fixtures . Before that , the Robins had lost just three Championship games in 2025 and that momentum helped to secure a spot in the top six . Liam Manning 's side face a tough test against Sheffield United , but will be backing themselves heading into the tie @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ main goal scorers in the form of Anis Mehmeti ( 12 ) and veteran striker Nahki Wells ( 10 ) , both of whom could be key against the Blades . Mehmeti has gone off the boil in the last couple of months and his minutes have taken a hit as a result , but the exciting forward can produce some magic on his day . Meanwhile , Wells has been there and done it before for several years in the Championship and at 34 , presents the sort of experience that could be vital for a play-off campaign . The striker has won the play-offs before with Huddersfield and started at Wembley when the Terriers defeated Reading - netting his penalty in the shootout following a 0-0 draw . Mehmeti 24/25 statsFlashscore Away from the goals , midfielder Jason Knight has quietly become one of the most underrated players in the entire division and could be a difference-maker against Sheffield United . The Irishman is consistently one of Bristol City 's best players and , as captain , has started every league game @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ staple of the Irish national team . While statistically the ' least favourite ' heading into the play-offs after a sixth-place finish , Manning 's side are still capable of a major upset . Their home record of 13 wins and seven draws is the fourth-best in the entire division ( behind Leeds , Burnley and Sheffield United ) , and the Robins can use that to their advantage with a strong performance in the first leg . On the other hand , they have n't beaten the Blades in a Championship fixture since 2019 and were defeated at Ashton Gate earlier this season . Manning 's team are likely an outsider to gain promotion to the Premier League , but have proven themselves to be worthy contenders in the play-offs and will take some beating after their highest league finish since 2008. |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'being talked in or out of something' does not clearly involve an NP object followed by 'out of' and a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it lacks the movement/extraction or prevention interpretation characteristic of the construction.

' To be maternal ... actually , it was your kids who really helped me define this . When I look back , we traversed through some really rough things .

Orsted 's decision this week to stop work on the Hornsea 4 wind farm was a hefty blow to Labour 's net-zero plans . The Danish company , the world 's biggest wind farm developer , won the contract only last year but could no longer make it pay . Hornsea 4 would have provided 2.4 gigawatts of electricity , a big slug of power when you consider that UK daily demand is normally 30 to 35GW . That much was immediately obvious , but Orsted 's change of heart has another , more substantial consequence . It makes this year 's auction for more renewable power a make-or-break moment for net zero . If enough capacity at the right price is not secured , then the arguments from Ed Miliband , the energy secretary , about renewable power being cheaper than fossil fuels will be exploded and his goal of a near carbon-free electricity supply by 2030 missed . The auctions are part of the elaborate machinery set up by successive governments to shift @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of national goals on net zero and our international commitments under the 2016 Paris climate change agreement . David Cameron 's government ran the first auction in 2014 and this year 's will be the seventh : allocation round seven , to give it its formal name . There is a lot of fine print in the process and you will not be in the least surprised to learn there is a host of consultancies and law firms that make a healthy living out of advising bidders . The basic idea , however , is straightforward . The government sets a target for low-carbon electricity and companies bid to provide it . The government guarantees the price they will receive for the power and undertakes to pay it for a set term , usually 15 years . When the agreed price is higher than the market price , which moves up and down all the time , the difference is made up by a levy on electricity bills . When the agreed price is below the market rate , that is fine : bills are cheaper than they would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ difference " deal often referenced when people talk about subsidies to encourage renewables . Advertisement The system has been successful , particularly when it comes to encouraging investment in offshore wind . In 2014 wind accounted for 9 per cent of the UK 's electricity . Last year it was 30 per cent ( overtaking gas , which was 26 per cent ) and renewables as a whole made up half of all our electricity . Coal , still 10 per cent of the mix at the turn of the century , has been extinguished . There is still quite a long way to go to meet the climate change goals , however , not to mention Miliband 's supplemental target of a largely fossil fuel-free grid by the end of the decade . The aim is to have 43 to 50GW of offshore wind up and running by then . There is 28.6GW already built , under construction or approved ( it was 31GW until Hornsea 4 dropped out ) , which leaves a minimum of 14GW to be approved in this year 's auction or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ late to have an effect on the 2030 numbers . Unfortunately the process is running late . Last year bids were submitted in February and contracts were awarded in September . This year nothing has yet happened and the government says only that the process will start in the summer . Those close to the process think that it could perhaps get under way in July . That would probably mean no contract awards until next year . The delay is caused by changes to the auction process . One of the biggest , quietly announced last Tuesday , is that the budget for the auction will be announced not at the start , as has previously been the case , but after bids have been assessed . The secretary of state ( ie Miliband ) has been given new powers to look at anonymised information about the bids before the budget is set . That will give the government the ability , if it chooses to use it , to make sure there is enough money available to guarantee the right amount of power . Another cause @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from national to zonal pricing of electricity , a big issue for wind-farm developers , who want to make sure they are not made worse off by any change . Hovering over all this is the question of price . Miliband has said that the shift to renewables will cut electricity bills , but the Hornsea 4 decision puts that in doubt . Orsted signed up at ? 56 per megawatt-hour ( MWh ) . That sounds cheap , until you realise that was in 2012 prices , subject to adjustment for inflation . The actual price this year would be ? 82 , already above the current mid-70s spot market price . If Orsted can not make the numbers work at ? 82 , that suggests this year 's bids will be even higher . Hornsea 4 , by the way , is almost certainly out of the picture for a while . Auction rules bar it from coming back for two years , although the government must be sorely tempted to find a way to get it back in . Advertisement Everything depends , of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . If they shoot up , as they did during Russia 's invasion of Ukraine , Miliband could turn out to be right . Unfortunately for the energy secretary , oil is going down . The price has fallen by about a quarter in the past year , from about $85 a barrel to $63 . Gas has been up and down , but in the past month has fallen from 125p a therm to 101p . It all adds up to a difficult summer for the energy secretary . If , as expected , the bids come in well above market prices , he may have to bite the bullet and abandon the promise of lower bills . He does at least have two fall-back arguments : that renewables are essential to meet our climate-change targets and that , as domestic sources , they increase the security of our supply . In a government desperate for growth and besieged by demands for lower energy costs , these justifications may fall on deaf ears . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The verb 'made' is followed by 'a fortune out of merging', which does not involve an NP object functioning as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the means by which the fortune was made, not a causative action on an object.

An Old Etonian and SAS veteran , he dedicated his life to the extreme pursuit of adventure and wealth The Times Friday May 09 2025 , 4.00pm , The Times Mann , left , at a maximum security prison in Harare , Zimbabwe , after his arrest in 2004 STR/AFP/GETTY IMAGES The Times Friday May 09 2025 , 4.00pm , The Times Many fantastical ideas are cooked up conspiratorially at White 's , but most remain safely within the confines of that most exclusive of gentlemen 's clubs . Simon Mann had a habit of seeing through on his , whatever the consequences . Indeed , the ex-SAS soldier 's life read like the plot of a Frederick Forsyth novel -- a tale of privileged upbringing leading to the extreme pursuit of adventure and excessive wealth . The son of a former England cricket captain , the Old Etonian was an outstanding soldier in the British army before " boredom " took him into the murky world of special forces , security experts and mercenaries . A bon viveur whose chronic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with a 34-year sentence , Mann used his persuasive charm to pull himself out of the sizeable holes he dug for himself . Clever , wry , unpredictable and restless , he came to public prominence on his arrest and imprisonment in Zimbabwe in 2004 , when he was accused of playing a leading role in a conspiracy to overthrow the government of the oil-rich west African state of Equatorial Guinea in return for sharing a personal payment of ? 15 million . Mann sits with fellow defendants accused of masterminding a failed coup plot at a trial in Malabo , Equatorial Guinea , 2008 REBECCA BLACKWELL/AP It was nicknamed the " wonga coup " after Mann smuggled a note out of his Harare prison appealing to the plot 's alleged backers , including Margaret Thatcher 's son Mark ( " Scratcher " ) , to pay a " splodge of wonga " ( a large amount of money ) to get him out of jail . The appeal fell on deaf ears and four years later Mann was extradited to Equatorial Guinea , where , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guilty of plotting to overthrow the country 's dictator , Teodoro Obiang Nguema . Fears that Mann would rot away in the notorious hell-hole were to prove unfounded . After only 15 months he was pardoned by the dictator he had tried to overthrow and returned to his family in England , where he was introduced to his infant son , Arthur , who had been born while he was in prison in Zimbabwe . Officially , the Equatorial Guinea regime , which had a well-deserved reputation for brutality , had freed Mann on compassionate grounds because of his need for medical treatment . Most observers felt the early release had been Mann 's reward for his willingness to testify that a bevy of foreign businessmen and governments had supported the coup plot . Advertisement Simon Mann was born in 1952 to George Mann and Margaret Hildegarde ( n ? e Marshall Clark ) . His father won a Military Cross in the Second World War and made a fortune out of merging the family brewing business with Watney . George Mann 's father , Frank , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the first father-and-son pair to attain the honour . Simon was educated at Eton ( where he was known as " Maps Mann " because he was always looking at them ) followed by officer training at Sandhurst , leading to that most pukka of regiments associated with the royal household , the Scots Guards . When the regular army failed to challenge him , Mann underwent the gruelling tests to join the SAS , succeeding at the first attempt and becoming a troop commander specialising in intelligence and counterterrorism . He saw service in Cyprus , Germany , Norway , Canada , Central America and Northern Ireland . While not on duty , Mann was a regular fixture at White 's , counting earls and dukes among his closest friends . Mann had a habit of seeing through on his ideas , whatever the consequences LES WILSON In 1981 , aged 28 , he left the armed services in search of wider horizons and better pay . His post-army freelance career began quietly enough , selling computer software . He quickly moved into the more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , reportedly training and providing bodyguards to wealthy Arabs on their British estates . He was briefly persuaded to return to uniform in 1990 to serve on the staff of Peter de la Billi ? re , Britain 's commander in the first Gulf War , in Riyadh . After the Gulf War , Mann was offered a role back in the SAS but instead took his first decisive step into the world of mercenaries . He struck up a friendship with the businessman Tony Buckingham and together they established the British wing of Executive Outcomes , a private security company originally founded in South Africa to provide military and logistical support to officially recognised governments . Buckingham had a background in the oil industry and when oil installations in Angola came under threat from Unita rebels , President Jos ? Eduardo dos Santos turned to Executive Outcomes for help . The company earned millions supplying guards and soldiers for western oil companies during the savage Angolan civil war . In 1995 Mann set up Sandline International , an offshoot of Executive Outcomes , with another former Scots @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ involved in an equally brutal civil war in Sierra Leone . Sandline was alleged to have provided training and arms to the Sierra Leone government in contravention of a United Nations arms embargo , helping it to regain control of the country 's diamond fields . Advertisement After order had been restored in Sierra Leone , Mann was extremely wealthy . He bought a 20-acre estate that once belonged to the Rothschilds called Inchmery , near Beaulieu in Hampshire . He also owned a private jet . He then rented out Inchmery and moved into a mansion in the Cape Town suburb of Constantia , where fellow residents included Earl Spencer and Mark Thatcher . Mann seemed to have finally hung up his military boots in exchange for a life of fishing , art collecting and dinner parties . In 2002 , he re-emerged unexpectedly into the limelight by agreeing to play the part of Colonel Derek Wilford , the commander of the British paratroopers involved in the Bloody Sunday killings in Northern Ireland , in a television reconstruction of the event . The director , Paul @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ romantic adventurer " and " tremendous company " . The next time Mann took centre stage was in a real-life drama . On March 7 , 2004 , he was arrested at Harare airport along with the crew and passengers of a Boeing 727 owned by a Mann company , Logo Logistics . Mann had been in the Zimbabwean capital for several days to pick up guns , ammunition and men , and was waiting for the plane to arrive at the time of the arrests . Soon afterwards , Nick du Toit , a former South African mercenary and associate of Mann 's , along with 14 others , were arrested in Malabo , capital of Equatorial Guinea , whose government boasted of having foiled a coup to topple President Obiang . The alleged plot centred on removing Obiang and replacing him with a veteran exiled opposition leader , Severo Moto . On top of a cash payment of $15 million , Mann and his backers would have been granted concessions to exploit the country 's vast offshore oil reserves . Mann was supposed to have recruited @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the passengers of the Boeing 727 -- and to have purchased ? 100,000 worth of weaponry in Zimbabwe in readiness to fly to Equatorial Guinea . Mann admitted buying the weapons from the state-owned Zimbabwe Defence Industries but initially claimed the plane was not on its way to Equatorial Guinea but to the Democratic Republic of Congo to provide security for the diamond industry there . However , a written confession to involvement in the plot purportedly from Mann soon appeared in the South African press . Mann 's supporters said it had been extracted under torture . " We were tortured . Beatings . Sensory deprivation ... all the sort of stuff we used to do to each other at Hereford , " Mann , who had a wry , laconic wit , told The Times in 2023 . Advertisement In September 2004 he was convicted by a Zimbabwe court on arms charges and sentenced to seven years , although the term was later reduced . Most of his co-accused were released within a year . Mann was released early for good behaviour from his Harare @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ court there ruled that he should be extradited . Mann appealed against the extradition on the grounds that he would face torture in a country with an appalling human rights record . In January , 2008 , the Zimbabwe High Court rejected the appeal and a few days later Mann was secretly deported to Equatorial Guinea without the prior knowledge of his lawyers . Despite fears for his health and safety , Mann appeared unruffled by incarceration in the notorious Black Beach prison in Malabo . Interviewed in shackles by Channel 4 News while awaiting trial , Mann said he had been treated well and was co-operating with the authorities . By now he was ready to acknowledge that he had indeed been part of a plot to overthrow the government of the tiny , oil-rich west African state , but claimed his primary motivation had been to help the people of Equatorial Guinea . He described himself as the " manager " of the plot , which he alleged had been instigated by Ely Calil , a British businessman of Lebanese-Nigerian origin . Calil , who died @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Thatcher had been not an " unwitting financier " but " part of the team management " . He said he had terrible regrets about the whole disastrous adventure , adding : " When you go tiger shooting , you do n't expect the tiger to win . " At his trial in June 2008 , Mann finally admitted involvement in the coup plot but attempted to present himself as a pawn of powerful international businessmen led by Calil . Mann also alleged that the Spanish and South African governments had sanctioned the coup attempt and that the Pentagon , CIA and US oil companies had given tacit consent . His 34-year prison sentence was longer than even the prosecution had sought . However , the severity turned out to be a charade . Mann was spared the horrors that befell most of the inmates of Black Beach . He had his own cell , exercise machine and books , and was allowed calls home .

He also reiterated claims that Calil and Thatcher had been the key players and said he was anxious both should " face justice " .

He is survived by seven children from three marriages : Peter , Jack ( a close friend of Prince Harry ) , Sophie , Freddy , Lilly , Bess and Arthur . In the years after the Equatorial Guinea episode , Mann struggled to find work . " It was tough because , in my sector , my former peers could n't hire me , even in the back office , " he told The Times in 2023 .

MANCHESTER -- One lucky Manchester United supporter will have woken up this morning with Amad Diallo 's beaming face on his phone -- the selfie all Instagrammers around the world crave most . Perched next to a similarly jubilant Rasmus Hojlund , Amad grabbed the fortunate fan 's phone to celebrate with his close friend having created something out of nothing , the celebratory grin content in the knowledge how much his beleaguered team have missed him over the past few months . Amad has been a gem in a cairn of crumbling Old Trafford stones this term . The difference he made in terms of quality , hunger and confidence to run at players when he came on to stun a bedazzled Athletic Bilbao should embarrass his misfiring teammates around him . Not for the first time this season , the Ivorian 's effervescence wrestled victory from the jaws of another defeat to send his team through to a season-saving Europa League final . All by simply wanting it more , showing for the ball and taking the attack to his opponents -- all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the decaying post-Sir Alex Ferguson wilderness years . As a timely support act , in becoming the first United substitute to score a brace in European knockout football in 22 years , nobody deserved to fire his team to a major European final more than Mason Mount . His first goal had echoes of Federico Macheda as he killed off the Bilbao resistance , before the icing on the cake late on , United 's fourth from fully 45 yards , had more David Beckham overtones . MASON MOUNT WHAT A GOAL ! He drives the ball from just beyond the halfway line to get his second of the evening ? ? For 70 minutes , however , it looked like we had the remontada to end all remontadas on our hands at a nervy Old Trafford suffering from another bout of d ? j ? vu in this most bizarre campaign . " Amad gave us that spark you need to change the game , " Ruben Amorim said . " I felt we needed more energy , and he brought this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for him . It is important for every player but when you see that kind of guy working hard every day , eating well , resting ice bath , he does everything , when you have this kind of player you just want to help him and then the quality he has . " Amorim 's post-match reaction to a flattering 4-1 success would have been so very different but for the impact of his substitutes . The issue an unusually raucous Old Trafford had pre-match , after another tinpot pyrotechnics display that was more Vertu Trophy than elite European competition , was that Premier League United showed up in a nervy , erroneous first-half display that belied their seemingly unassailable position in the semi-final tie . On a momentous day for Catholics worldwide , 3-0 up from the first leg United too should have had an air of papal infallibility about them , against a Bilbao side without their four best players through injury or suspension -- both Williams brothers , top goalscorer Oihan Sancet and defender Dani Vivian . The visitors , inexplicably however @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ caution to the wind . Premier League United could barely string a pass together . Every time the visitors launched an attack , the hosts parted like the red sea -- it was Groundhog Day around M16 once more . Mikel Jaureguizar 's sublime curler , that just evaded the despairing dive from Andre Onana , gave home supporters an even more familiar sinking feeling . Alejandro Garnacho should have levelled late into the first half after being put through by Patrick Dorgu -- United 's only penetrative attack in the opening period -- but elected to attempt to loft the ball over away goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala , when he had no right to . The referee 's whistle provided some light relief . Had the Williams brothers been fit , the tie could have been level by half time . The Williams sisters could cause United problems when they are in Premier League mode . It could not continue like this . Step forward a player who , not so long ago , was seen as yet another United transfer failure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Erik ten Hag . Amad 's beating of his man helped create the opportunity for another superb substitute , Mount , to quash Basque dreams of a home final before , moments later , Casemiro really put the tie to bed from a corner , giving United a lead on the night they frankly did not deserve . Amad was not done there , as he had Old Trafford gasping for breath dancing down the touchline , creating a game-clinching third even Hojlund could not miss , with that fortunate fan then getting the image they will never likely top . Mount 's best night in a United shirt had the happiest of endings , too , with an arrowing fourth that sailed into the net like the ball was soaking up applause on its victory lap . The celebration was full of emotion for a player who has endured more agony than ecstasy since joining from Chelsea , aware he has now given Amorim a welcome selection dilemma ahead of the final in two weeks ' time . Should both Amad and Mount be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bilbao berth is a simple one to make . Step aside , Garnacho and Manuel Ugarte. |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It mentions 'pulled out of attending' but lacks the necessary components (e.g., a clear NP object and VP2[-ing] predicate) to qualify as the transitive out of -ing construction. Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

When Nicola Peltz began dating her much younger boyfriend Anwar Hadid , she wasted no time getting to know his family . Just 17 to her 22 years when they got together in 2017 , Nicola , then an aspiring actress , soon ensured she became ' besties ' with his mum , Yolanda -- who was then the stand-out star of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills -- as well as his big sisters , supermodels Bella and Gigi . As a brand , you could n't get much bigger than the Hadids , which for ambitious starlet Nicola was rather useful . It was n't long until the billionaire heiress and youngest daughter of US tycoon Nelson Peltz was posing on the red carpet alongside Bella and Gigi , who at the time were the most in demand catwalk stars in the world . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ growing bond with the Hadids -- one notable photograph shows Nicola and Yolanda smiling as they wore matching blue towels on their heads . ' My ladies , ' wrote a devoted Anwar , who had just been named the face of Hugo Boss menswear 's HUGO line and was a successful model , like his older siblings . Sure enough , thanks to messages like these , Nicola 's public profile went through the roof . It does n't , then , take much to see the similarities between her relationship with Anwar and her relationship with Brooklyn Beckham . Indeed , one could argue that her first serious relationship -- she and Anwar dated for more than 18 months -- reveals just what makes Nicola Peltz tick . Nicola Peltz , now 30 , dated Anwar Hadid , now 25 , from 2016 to 2018 . This was shortly after she moved out from her billionaire parents ? 76million Florida mansion to try her luck in Hollywood Brooklyn Beckham and wife Nicola pulled out of attending this year 's Met Gala ( pictured @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just like her husband , Brooklyn Beckham , who is four years her junior , Anwar was younger , easily swayed and happy to act as arm candy for Nicola . With a significant Instagram presence , Anwar helped Nicola become a ' name ' -- while his smitten social media posts no doubt boosted a rapidly growing ego . The similarities between Nicola 's two major relationships do not end there , however . For in her tumultuous relationship with Yolanda Hadid , one can spot the future seeds of her troubled dealings with her mother-in-law , Victoria Beckham . Relations between the two women have broken down entirely after neither Nicola nor Brooklyn attended a single one of his father David 's series of 50th birthday celebrations this week . For I can reveal that towards the end of Nicola 's relationship with Anwar , any good feelings had evaporated between her and the Hadids . Sources tell me that Anwar 's mother and sisters were worried he was becoming increasingly unhappy in his relationship and they were keen for him to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ difference bothered them , ' said one source . ' And so did Nicola 's strong personality . It had started so well but they later began to no longer think the relationship was the best idea for Anwar . ' That led to some conversations between Anwar and the family . They feared he was struggling , going out with a woman who was older than him at such a formative time in his life . ' So there we have it : a concerned mother ; a starry-eyed , besotted son -- and a headstrong wannabe actress . Sound familiar ? No wonder some are suggesting that Nicola 's relationship with Anwar eight years ago may simply be repeating itself today . One source tells me : ' There seems to be something about Nicola and very famous families , especially those with huge social media followings , and it does n't seem to matter if they are younger . Anwar was only 17 when Nicola started going out with him . ' The Hadids are a huge American brand and to date @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coup for Nicola . ' She was trying to make it in Hollywood and a high profile boyfriend was n't going to do her any harm when it came to column inches or Instagram followers . ' When Nicola met the Hadids , she was filming the pilot for a television thriller called When The Streetlights Go On for the US network Hulu . She was cast as Chrissy Monroe , a young woman who was struggling with addiction and had a troubled life , but was also supposed to be the ' perfect daughter ' . The programme made nothing more than a minor dent in the headlines and viewing figures were mediocre . Without doubt , it was Anwar who raised Nicola 's profile , shortly after she moved out from her billionaire parents Nelson and Claudia 's ? 76million Florida mansion to try her luck in Hollywood . She quickly ingratiated herself with the Hadids , and would speak glowingly about her new clan . It sadly looks today as though the famously tight-knit Beckhams have been torn asunder @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 82 , and her mother Claudia , 70 , a former model In one interview she said of Anwar : ' Honestly , he is an angel . He 's such an amazing person . He comes from such an amazing family . Gigi and Bella are so , so sweet . ' I just love his family so much . They 're feminine , strong girls . To have that around is amazing . ' It was not to last . After a year of dating , the couple split in May 2018 with Nicola 's representative insisting that the separation was amicable . However , the following month the death knell for the once strong bond between Nicola and the Hadid women was sounded when Nicola suddenly unfollowed the entire family on Instgram . She began dating Brooklyn in October 2019 after meeting him at a Halloween party at the Standard hotel in Hollywood . They went ' Instagram official ' in January 2020 and married in an extravagant ? 3 million Palm Beach ceremony , held at the Peltz 's beachside @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where Anwar 's relationship with his own family survived his romance with Nicola , it sadly looks today as though the famously tight-knit Beckhams have been torn asunder . Not only were the couple a no-show at David 's pre-birthday bash in Miami in March , but Brooklyn did n't join his father and two brothers , Romeo and Cruz , for their family fishing trip to the Scottish Highlands , nor the big family party at the Beckhams ' ? 10 million Cotswolds home , their idyllic jaunt to France nor the lavish meal at Notting Hill restaurant , Core . Such behaviour has enraged Victoria and David , who fear their idealistic and romantic son is being controlled by his wife . Nicola , in turn , has insisted she and Brooklyn attempted to see the couple alone to celebrate David 's birthday -- indicating that she may not feel comfortable around Romeo 's girlfriend Kim Turnbull on account of the fact that Kim was once friendly with Brooklyn . I 'm told David and Victoria are ' done ' with their daughter-in-law @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expect to be estranged from Brooklyn for the foreseeable future as he lives his life in Los Angeles with his wife . Their marriage may only be three years old , but there have certainly been rifts aplenty . Famously , Nicola and Victoria spectacularly fell out in the run-up to the wedding following a row over her dress . The bride expected Posh to make it for her and was said to be let down when she did n't . However , after 18 months of little contact , the two women made up and were close for a short time . Some view the fallout between the pair as a clash between two equally strong women . And certainly , Nicola 's upbringing instilled this grit within her . Born in Westchester , New York , to billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz and his former model wife , Claudia , she attended Rye Country Day school where annual fees can reach $50,000 ( ? 37,500 ) per year . She split her childhood between her family 's 130-acre estate on Palm Beach and a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who claims to have ' match made ' Donald Trump with Elon Musk . By the age of 12 , aspiring actress Nicola had an agent and a year later was starring in a Manhattan Theatre Club production of Blackbird before making her film debut in a Christmas comedy called Deck The Halls . In 2008 she appeared in another comedy film , Harold , and later that year she starred in the music video for Miley Cyrus 's hit single 7 Things . Previous reports have indicated Nicola would fib on her acting CV , listing elaborate talents -- among them bungee jumping , something she later admitted to only doing once in a shopping mall . Some unkind Hollywood insiders describe Nicola as a ' nepo ' who was given an ' obvious leg up ' by her father 's wealth and connections ( at one time , Nelson held $3.5billion -- ? 2.6billion -- in stock in Disney , for example ) . But there have been a few meatier roles , including playing a tragic model and stripper in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ true story , and a part in one of the Transformers films . However , she was not universally adored in Hollywood where , since dating Brooklyn , she has fired several agents . ' Nicola 's behaviour has enraged Victoria ( pictured together at 2024 Lola premiere ) who fears their idealistic and romantic son is being controlled by his wife , ' writes Katie Hind She was previously signed to William Morris Endeavour , a top US showbusiness agency which represents stars such as Matt Damon and Jennifer Garner , but fired them -- a decision sources say was attributed to them not getting her enough work . She also joined Megan Silverman , a well-known agent , but parted company with her . Today , she is with the Gersh agency who also represent former EastEnders actor Rob Kazinsky . ' She has been through quite a few agents , as well as PRs , ' says one source who knows Nicola . ' She has a tendency not to want to listen to what they say or advise her to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ knowing better than the experts and that does n't quite work in Hollywood . It does n't help one 's popularity , that 's for sure . ' Undoubtedly , Nicola has a taste for the finer things in life . In May 2022 , she and Brooklyn put their ? 9million mansion in Los Angeles -- their first home together -- on the market because it ' was n't big enough for them ' . Having bought the five-bedroom , five-bathroom property just the year before , they traded it in for a ? 22 million mansion in Beverly Hills . I 'm told that this decision ' very much raised the eyebrows ' of Brooklyn 's parents David and Victoria , who despite their own wealth have always taught their four children the value of money . One friend says : ' Of course you ca n't just blame her , it was Brooklyn 's house , too -- but he has never been quite as flash as her . ' Imagine a ? 9 million home not being quite right for you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say it was growing up in the Peltz household -- where all ten children were encouraged to play ice hockey -- that made her the tough woman she is today . Nelson once said of his brood : ' My kids are exhausted every day , and I keep them that way . It 's gym , ice , homework . They 're too tired to get in trouble . ' While Nicola 's brother Brad is a successful ice hockey player , and her older sister Brittany an impressive figure skater , it was always her ambition to follow her mum Claudia , her father 's third wife and a former fashion model , into a more glamorous industry . ' Claudia was big in the 1970s when it was tough being a woman in the film and fashion worlds , ' said one friend of the family . ' It was the era of the casting couch and women had to be really hard , which Claudia is . ' You only have to look at her mother to see where Nicola gets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one of two sisters -- Brittany , 33 , owns a lifestyle company and is , I 'm told , ' very different ' to her younger sister -- Nicola was more often than not the centre of attention . ' Nicola got all the attention from her brothers , ' says a source . ' She has the whole youngest girl thing going on . ' There was a time , too , when Nicola enjoyed being part of the Beckhams ' smaller family -- and would particularly enjoy playing big sister to Harper -- something she never experienced growing up . But no more . Says the same source : ' Nicola seems to just want to be with her own family rather than the Beckhams . The terribly sad thing is that Brooklyn is following suit .

Reasoning
×
The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'Trump' is the NP subject, 'locks' is V1, 'us' is the NP object, and 'using our own fighter jets' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also gives rise to a prevention interpretation, as it implies that Trump prevents 'us' from using our own fighter jets by locking us out. The verb 'locks' can be classified under the means of exerting force or pressure. The NP object 'us' functions as a causee, and the sentence fits all the grammatical properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . A leading union has called on the government to invest further in British air defence and East Lancashire 's BAE Systems employees .

On Thursday , May 8 , the government awarded a ? 563million maintenance and repair contract to the RAF 's fighter jets to Rolls Royce in Bristol . Most of the work on the Typhoon engines will take place at the engineering giant 's headquarters , and includes the maintenance of 130 EJ200 engines , supporting around 200 direct jobs .

" What we now need the government to do is commit to buying a new tranche of Typhoon jets for the UK 's armed forces that will guarantee UK manufacturing and supply chain jobs for the next decade and preserve the skills needed to produce the next generation of fighter jets . " The union warns that if a decision is n't made quickly on switching between the F35s and Typhoons it will result in a weakened defence industry and an erosion of critical skills .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes the speaker's joy derived from wearing certain brands, which is unrelated to the construction's properties.

Finding that incredible bow-fronted shop in Woburn Walk and opening it as a boutique in 2013 with my name above the door was a huge moment for me . But I was so naive . I remember thinking I 'd only need to sell one dress a month to cover the rent . I had no idea how much work it would entail .

The sentence 'Regular working Brits are being priced out of renting properties under shocking contracts to house asylum seekers' fits the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Here, 'Regular working Brits' is the NP subject, 'are being priced' is the V1 in passive voice, 'out of renting properties' is the VP2[-ing] predicate, and it implies a prevention interpretation (preventing regular working Brits from renting properties). The NP object is implied in the passive construction (the agents doing the pricing are the Government-backed landlords or the system). This aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Reasoning
×
The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'run out of seating space' involves 'run out of' followed by a noun phrase 'seating space', not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the sentence does not yield a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Your subscription will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if this thread is really still live as its dated 2021 but I 'll assume its reanimated so ... We have many excellent cycle caffs round our way ( which is also your way @dave so you may have first hand knowledge ) . My top three : 1 . Honey Street Mill , Alton Barnes . A stalwart of the Trowvegas CC club rides and the best bacon butties in Wiltshire . And good cakes ... kitkat cheese cake once spotted there ? ? . https : **28;896;TOOLONG 3 . Flying Monk Brewery and Taproom , Malmesbury . I do n't actually consume alcohol on rides but the zero % is great ( a good call for carb loading too ) , the usual cakes and butties and it 's basically a giant barn in the countryside with underfloor heating and air hockey.https : //flyingmonkbrewery.com/ Tea at lil Maggies and the Secret Barn , North Muskham , Newark NG23 6HU is an amazing food stop . Did it last year with the V-CC which meant walking on the grass verge along the A1 ? ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . In my view using off road tracks and paths from the River Trent would be safer and more pleasant way of getting there from Cromwell , but definitely worth checking out . The tea room at the top of the Col de la Croix de Fer is a must-visit . Alternatively , try the wooden hut tearoom just down the road at the top of the Col du Glandon , which is not so busy . Other pictures are available from davidtphotography.com I 'm putting five cafe stops down because each is so good for different reasons they deserve to be visited . 1 ) The Straw Kitchen , Whichford CV36 5PG . Why , it 's a beautiful unique Warwickshire village full of flowers in pots . The cafe itself was made from wattle and daube and has glass in the walls , it was made by and is run by hippy types . Everything is compostable and locally sourced , the food is fantastic and award winning , the coffee is super . The cafe is located within a carefully planted wild flower garden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) The Mulberry Cafe , Cropredy OX17 1NH . Why , location , service , quality of food in an unexpected setting . Locally sourced food is top notch . In the middle of a unassuming village there lies a converted house , a tiny little cafe run by a flambouant young man who really should be on reality TV somewhere , the juxtaposition is one of the main factors why this cafe stands out , The food is top top notch , coffee is excellent and Cropredy villiages echoes this cafe . This quaint little rural chocolate box village seems to be home to an unusual amount of aged rockers and has since 1976 hosted the largest folk and rock festival you 've never heard of . https : //themulberrycafe.co.uk/ 3 ) Napton Post Office , Napton CV47 8LR . Why , location , service , character . This place never ceases to make me smile . The coffee is mediocre , the food is good , but the place is such fun . Family run and packed from floor to ceiling with local produce for sale there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ charming village on a hill the post office is located just a few hundred meters in one direction from a Water Buffalo farm and at the base of a nice steep grind up tiny narrow lanes past a church to a windmill the place has character . You can sit inside or out and it 's busy with village life and characters as people pop in to get a paper or meet for a coffee , it 's a glorious slice of life . https : **32;966;TOOLONG 4 ) Gilks Garage Cafe , Kineton CV35 0JZ . Located on the main road into Kineton which is a main gateway to the coltswolds from Warwickshire , this is a popular edge of village cafe . Why , it 's an old car garage and sort of museum to it 's history . It 's cooler than I 'm making it sound , think 1960 's machanics garage .. anyway , it 's owned by and run by the same family who founded the gargage in the same building in 1949 , generations of old fella 's later and the father/daughter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do something different , and it 's ace . Lots of outside space and bike parking , always cyclists passing and stopping , the food is fantastic , it 's a popular eatery for the local villages and they do Sunday lunches when they are n't doing coffee and cake . You ca n't help but like this place . https : //gilksgaragecafe.com/ 5 ) Bakery on the Water , Bourton-on-the-Water GL54 2BY . Why .. Location , service & that bakery smell . I 've never had anything from here which is n't fantastic . Awesome food & good coffee .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It mentions 'run out of seating space', where 'seating space' is an NP complement of the complex preposition 'out of', not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present.

We have many excellent cycle caffs round our way ( which is also your way @dave so you may have first hand knowledge ) . My top three : 1 . Honey Street Mill , Alton Barnes . A stalwart of the Trowvegas CC club rides and the best bacon butties in Wiltshire . And good cakes ... kitkat cheese cake once spotted there ? ? . https : **28;896;TOOLONG 3 . Flying Monk Brewery and Taproom , Malmesbury . I do n't actually consume alcohol on rides but the zero % is great ( a good call for carb loading too ) , the usual cakes and butties and it 's basically a giant barn in the countryside with underfloor heating and air hockey.https : //flyingmonkbrewery.com/ Tea at lil Maggies and the Secret Barn , North Muskham , Newark NG23 6HU is an amazing food stop . Did it last year with the V-CC which meant walking on the grass verge along the A1 ? ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . In my view using off road tracks and paths from the River Trent would be safer and more pleasant way of getting there from Cromwell , but definitely worth checking out .

Other pictures are available from davidtphotography.com I 'm putting five cafe stops down because each is so good for different reasons they deserve to be visited . 1 ) The Straw Kitchen , Whichford CV36 5PG . Why , it 's a beautiful unique Warwickshire village full of flowers in pots . The cafe itself was made from wattle and daube and has glass in the walls , it was made by and is run by hippy types . Everything is compostable and locally sourced , the food is fantastic and award winning , the coffee is super . The cafe is located within a carefully planted wild flower garden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) The Mulberry Cafe , Cropredy OX17 1NH . Why , location , service , quality of food in an unexpected setting . Locally sourced food is top notch . In the middle of a unassuming village there lies a converted house , a tiny little cafe run by a flambouant young man who really should be on reality TV somewhere , the juxtaposition is one of the main factors why this cafe stands out , The food is top top notch , coffee is excellent and Cropredy villiages echoes this cafe . This quaint little rural chocolate box village seems to be home to an unusual amount of aged rockers and has since 1976 hosted the largest folk and rock festival you 've never heard of . https : //themulberrycafe.co.uk/ 3 ) Napton Post Office , Napton CV47 8LR . Why , location , service , character . This place never ceases to make me smile . The coffee is mediocre , the food is good , but the place is such fun . Family run and packed from floor to ceiling with local produce for sale there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ charming village on a hill the post office is located just a few hundred meters in one direction from a Water Buffalo farm and at the base of a nice steep grind up tiny narrow lanes past a church to a windmill the place has character . You can sit inside or out and it 's busy with village life and characters as people pop in to get a paper or meet for a coffee , it 's a glorious slice of life . https : **32;966;TOOLONG 4 ) Gilks Garage Cafe , Kineton CV35 0JZ . Located on the main road into Kineton which is a main gateway to the coltswolds from Warwickshire , this is a popular edge of village cafe . Why , it 's an old car garage and sort of museum to it 's history . It 's cooler than I 'm making it sound , think 1960 's machanics garage .. anyway , it 's owned by and run by the same family who founded the gargage in the same building in 1949 , generations of old fella 's later and the father/daughter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do something different , and it 's ace . Lots of outside space and bike parking , always cyclists passing and stopping , the food is fantastic , it 's a popular eatery for the local villages and they do Sunday lunches when they are n't doing coffee and cake . You ca n't help but like this place . https : //gilksgaragecafe.com/ 5 ) Bakery on the Water , Bourton-on-the-Water GL54 2BY . Why .. Location , service & that bakery smell . I 've never had anything from here which is n't fantastic . Awesome food & good coffee . Lovely friendly family run bakery and cafe servicing a horde of locals and vast numbers of tourists in the summertime .

Former WWE and ECW wrestler Sabu has sadly passed away at the age of 60 years old . Sabu - whose real name was Terry Brunk - wrestled his official retirement match less than a month ago . Fittingly for a pioneer of hardcore wrestling , his final bout was a no-rope , barbed wire match . Thousands of fans flocked to see the match , which took place at GCW Joey Janela 's Spring Break on the 18th of April in Las Vegas . The two-time ECW World Heavyweight Champion won his farewell contest . News of Sabu 's passing was first announced by Mike Johnson of PW Insider . No further details have yet been confirmed .

Years before the Dudley Boys went putting people through tables , Sabu was making a living out of moonsaulting through them .

His most high-profile run , though , came when WWE decided to relaunch ECW as a full-time brand in 2006 . Soon after signing with the company , Sabu unsuccessfully challenged Rey Mysterio for the World Heavyweight Championship at One Night Stand 2006 . A month later , he wrestled John Cena at Vengeance 2006 and faced off with the Big Show at SummerSlam that same year . Although he would later slide down the card , Sabu made a memorable appearance in the 2007 Royal Rumble match . He also won his first ( and only ) WrestleMania match when teaming with Rob Van Dam , Tommy Dreamer and The Sandman to triumph over the New Breed at WrestleMania 23 on home territory in Detroit . He would be released @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the independent circuit afterwards . His post-WWE resume included stops in TNA Wrestling and All Elite Wrestling .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee and does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it involves the verb 'get' with an NP object 'a certain mileage' and does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Baston travelled to 29 borders over a five-year period in order to investigate how mere lines on a map , drawn and then re-drawn countless times , have played such a crucial role in determining the continent 's history . Image : TNE " I guess it was The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe that first got me thinking about borders " says Lewis Baston , author of Borderlines ( now just out in paperback ) : " The idea that there is this line on the ground and somehow , things are different on the other side always intrigued me . " In compiling this unusual and highly readable guide to the geography and history of Europe 's dividing lines , Baston travelled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ investigate how mere lines on a map , drawn and then re-drawn countless times , have played such a crucial role in determining the continent 's history . The idea of writing something about the patchwork nations of Europe had always been at the back of Baston 's mind , but it was the twin shocks of Brexit and the first election of Donald Trump that gave him the impetus to start on his epic journey -- all made by public transport and much of it on foot . He began , as does the book , with our very own border between Northern Ireland and the Republic -- a border that has caused the two countries so many difficulties . Yet the border itself is an almost arbitrary line on a map , drawn for political and religious reasons not representing any significant linguistic or ethnic differences . " British and Irish history are not separate from European history , " Baston observes . " Many of the same issues that cropped up along the Irish border -- problems of identifying and maintaining it and finding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the time in the formation of other European borders . It reminded me how deeply embedded we are in European history . " But it was n't just the flashpoint borders that Baston travelled to but also the more unusual ones . The town of Baarle , for example , which is in Belgium ... and the Netherlands with the border between the two countries running higgledy-piggledy through the town , resulting in houses with the border running straight through their front door and others with two doors , one in each country . The police run a joint ' international ' patrol and the council chamber has the border running down the middle with members having to ensure that they only vote on issues that affect their ' country ' . The town of Baarle has houses with the border running straight through their front door Other peculiarities include Valga-Valka where children rock gently on a playground swing that one moment is in Estonia and the next in Latvia ; or Campione d'Italia , an Italian town on the shores of Lake Lugano , which is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ passing through Swiss waters by those desperate to reach its monstrously shaped casino . Campione d'Italia an only be reached by passing through Swiss waters But peculiarities aside , one of the most haunting images in the book is of the Triplex Confinium , which marks the borderlines between Hungary , Serbia and Romania -- originally agreed in the Trianon Treaty of 1920 . The tri-borders are marked by a rather forlorn obelisk set in a bleak landscape -- and for Hungarians , it commemorates the point at which ' greater Hungary ' became ' lesser Hungary ' as a result of it being on the losing side when first world war hostilities finally ended . The treaty created a Hungary that consisted of just 28% of its pre-war territory and a population reduced from almost 30 million to just over seven million . A historical memory that the prime minister Viktor Orban never misses an opportunity to exploit as an example of how Europe is against the Hungarians ( his message has decreasing effectiveness if current polls are to be believed ) . As Baston @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " The border guard asked me the purpose of my visit . I explained how I was tracking borders . He replied , ' That 's odd , but everyone needs a hobby I guess ' . " He admits that " there 's a certain mileage you can get out of being an eccentric Englishman . " Baston , a historian by trade , has had a lifelong fascination with borders and not just the places themselves but the sort of ' outsider ' mentality they can induce . He points out that being on the wrong side of a border can be as significant as being inside , slightly mischievously he notes that : " The birthplaces of Hitler , Stalin and Napoleon were all located in peripheral entities , outside the borders of the ' mother country ' " But the book , and the places that Baston explores , are n't all just about the negative aspects of borders -- experiencing the cultures of more than one country can be enriching . His prime example of this is the city of Chernivtsi which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Historically located in Bukovina , an area of Europe that never had its own sovereign identity " a borderland par excellence " , as Baston describes it . Now in western Ukraine , Chernivtsi was formerly part of the Soviet Union , and before that in Romania , and before that part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire . Baston describes its real ' personality ' though as Habsburg , a term he finds redolent of the essence of Europe : " One third of the countries that make up the EU had their roots in the old Habsburg Empire " he observes . Chernivtsi is , for Baston , a symbol of Europe -- rich in culture , architecture and learning Chernivtsi is , for Baston , a symbol of Europe -- rich in culture , architecture and learning . It has survived any number of invasions and regime changes but remains a reminder of how borders can be sources of inspiration and positivity rather than demarcation lines of war , conflict and ethnic hatred .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate structure. Instead, it uses 'dropped out of' which is a phrasal verb indicating withdrawal from an activity, not causing someone else to move or preventing them from doing something. There is no causer-causee relationship, and it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

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

In February , the Department for Education ( DfE ) wrote to nurseries saying parents should be able to opt out of paying for these extras , " to ensure no family is priced out " . However , some providers say they use these payments to subsidise the cost of the free hours for three and four-year-olds . More than 5,000 nurseries have signed an open letter to the Dfe asking for the new rules to be delayed . Image source , Getty Images Image caption , The lack of affordable childcare is a barrier for many people hoping to work The DfE says an additional 35,000 staff and 70,000 places will be required to meet demand by September 2025 . The education regulator Ofsted has warned that access to childcare in England has declined since 2020 and improvements have not been evenly spread across the country . It adds that while the latest ONS data shows the total population of zero to five-year-olds fell by 1% per year from 2018 to 2022 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and 2024 . Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said early years had been her " priority from day one " . However , nursery bosses argue the government 's updated funding rates for 2025 will not offset rising costs . The Early Years Alliance charity said about 185 nurseries of 1,100 it surveyed said they were " likely " to withdraw from the scheme within the next 12 months " due to unsustainable financial pressures " . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It describes a situation involving a hose and a window, but there is no verb in the V1 slot that fits the categories provided (e.g., deception, force, fear, etc.), and there is no VP2[-ing] predicate that would induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'poking the 1.8m hose out of sliding windows' is a physical action description, not a construction with the required semantic or syntactic properties.

So the mercury 's rocketed and you 've decided it 's time to invest in an air conditioner . Luckily , we 've breezed to the rescue with a guide to the best models available , whether you 're keen to cool down an overheated office space , sleep soundly with a breath of fresh air , or splash out on an all-singing , all-dancing piece of kit which will clean your air as well as cooling it . Wall-mounted air conditioners are best suited to larger properties , and will generally cost significantly more . This is because there 's more tech involved , and you 'll also need to get these models professionally installed . It 's also important to remember that , although they take up less floor space , they 're more likely to stand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ known for producing wall-mounted air conditioners which are compact , slimline and could even be described as stylish , we 've yet to come across an air conditioner which we 'd describe as a thing of beauty . The good news ? There are plenty of options for those who feel their walls are for art , not air conditioning units . Standalone devices are easy to install ( although most have a duct which will need to be fed through a window or wall ) , easy to move from room to room ( unlike a wall-mounted air conditioner , which will be fixed in one place ) and easy to control , whether it 's with an app or the included remote controls . Our testing , during a particularly muggy week in June , prompted several revelations . To start with , air conditioners which come with window kits -- panels with a pre-cut hole in , through which the duct can be fed -- are a godsend , especially if you 're not DIY-savvy . A good set of sturdy castors minimises the hassle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and air-purifying filters which help clean the air are well worth the money , especially in households with someone who suffers from allergies . WiFi connectivity and the ability to control your air conditioner through an app can also be incredibly useful . " In today 's world , where technology and ease of use are key , wifi connectivity is a definite game changer , " says Stephan Lang , Split and Sky Air Specialist at Daikin UK . " Our conditioners can be operated remotely using the app on your smartphone or tablet . This means you can programme your air conditioner when you 're not at home , or have the luxury of turning it on and off from the comfort of your own bed . " Stephan also suggests looking for air conditioners with air purification filters , the gold standard of which is a titanium apatite filter . " These wo n't only trap most microscopic airborne particles , but will help to break down odours and absorb and deactivate bacteria . " Another important point to consider ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aware that they come with extra costs , and often require some rather heavy-duty external fittings . " Fixed air conditioning units can be great , but they need to be professionally installed and once installed , you can not move them to another room or house , " says Chris Michael , managing director of Meaco . " Think carefully before you install it and find out if you need permission for the siting of the external kit before going ahead . Be prepared to pay for servicing and maintenance going forward , and remember that while a wall-mounted air conditioner will be quieter than a portable air conditioner , it wo n't be as versatile . " Units were tried out during a particularly sweltering week in June , where I tested everything from the effectiveness of window kits in cooling the room 's interior to air purification levels . I also looked at how easy standalone units were to roll from one room to another across hard floors and carpets . Timers were also tested overnight and for pre-sets to cool @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ More MeacoCool Best for : customisable cooling and flexible window set-up This is hands down one of the best air conditioners you 'll find for just over ? 300 : a stylish , compact breeze blaster which is perfectly suited to smaller areas such as offices , bedrooms and conservatories - although the official blurb states that it 's suited to any room measuring between 16 and 26m ? . A remote control , sleep mode and timer switch means it 's wonderfully easy to customise your cooling , and we love the fact that it does n't just come with a window kit for those poking the 1.8m hose out of sliding windows , but a fabric flexible window , which is compatible with other types of window too . It 's also a great option for anyone concerned about noise levels and the environment . This portable air conditioner is part of Meaco 's new energy-efficient range , which comprises seven ultra-efficient air conditioning units , all of which have an Energy Rating of A. Oh , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chillmax Best for : personal and portable This is a brilliant , personal air conditioner which does all the things larger ones do without taking up a ridiculous amount of space . A portable design ( the highlights of which include a sealed water tank and a rechargeable battery ) , makes it ideal for holidays -- we recommend firing up this bad boy in sweatbox-like tents and stuffy cars on long road trips . A combination of three-speed settings and a 360 ? swivel hinge means it 's easy to direct the airflow , and the built-in night light makes it especially suitable for children . Our favourite feature is the ultra-tough clip , which can be used to attach to everything from prams to the backs of seats . Our favourite thing about this three-speed standalone air conditioner ? It 's both incredibly easy to use and shockingly simple to install , thanks in part to its slimline hose . Navigating its hi-tech digital interface is a breeze ( excuse the pun @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cooling function can all be tweaked using the remote control , which slips handily into a holder at the top of the machine . It 's also one of the quietest air conditioners we 've come across ( the decibel range is between 49 and 53 ) which makes it ideal for various spaces , whether it 's a child 's bedroom or a sun-baked dining room . Shifting it from room to room wo n't result in an accidental back injury either , not only because of its four slick wheels but also its weight , which comes in at 32kg -- surprisingly low for such a powerful air conditioner . It 's also one which will earn its keep year-round -- during the cooler months , simply switch to ' dehumidify only ' mode to keep any dampness at bay . Daikin Best for : large wall-mounted air conditioner This is a no-nonsense , powerful wall-mounted air conditioner for anyone keen to cool larger rooms without taking up valuable floor space . It 's a million miles away from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this slick box ( available in white , silver , black and blackwood ) looks surprisingly stylish , and its design even earned Daikin a coveted Reddot Product Design Award . Precision-engineered flaps allow for superior air distribution , while an intelligent thermal sensor ramps up the efficiency by determining room temperature and size . It then distributes the cooled air exactly where it 's needed . This is one of the smartest air conditioners on the market -- the thermostat , temperature schedules and energy consumption can all be controlled using either the included remote or Daikin 's app . De'Longhi Best for : smooth rolling Forgive us for ranting about wheels again , but this is obviously something De'Longhi does extremely well , because this is another of the brand 's remote-controlled control air conditioners which is extremely easy to move -- its chunky , smooth wheels ensured this three-speed air conditioner rolled smoothly over our ( very shaggy ) carpet . It will quickly cool rooms of up to 70 m ? ( we tested @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were amazed by how quickly it worked ) , and the dehumidifying capabilities were also impressive -- by the end of our night-time test session , which took place on a particularly muggy evening , the air felt noticeably lighter and drier . We also loved the kit designed to minimise the hassle of positioning the 1.2-metre duct , although it 's only compatible with sliding windows . But if you 've got one of those , you 're in luck -- the air conditioner comes with a plastic panel with a readymade hole cut into it , which means all you need to do is place the panel between the glass and the window frame . MeacoCool Best for : larger spaces Another member of Meaco 's new range of ultra-efficient air conditioners , the MeacoCool MC Series 12000 is , in our humble opinion , one of the best air conditioners for living rooms and other larger areas . Capable of quickly cooling areas sized between 20-30m ? , it 's got three-speed settings and four modes ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our favourite combo ) , is surprisingly light ( just 29.5kgs ) and will effortlessly suck 1.6 litres of water of moisture out of the air every hour . If you 're a light sleeper , simply turn off the cooling capability at night time and leave the fan going . We also love the handy window kit which is included , but it 's worth noting that it 's only designed for use with sliding and sash windows . Our one gripe ? The remote control does n't come with a battery . JML Best for : antimicrobial and dishwasher-safe Another personal air conditioner which strikes the perfect balance between portability ( it 's mains-powered , but comes with a 1.8-metre cable ) and power , the ChillMax Air Personal Space Air Cooler and Humidifier ticks all the boxes . It will quickly cool small-to-medium sized rooms with minimal noise , it 's dishwasher safe and easy to use -- simply fill the tank and it will do its thing for up to 10 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spreading germs during indoor catch-ups -- its antimicrobial filter is designed to hold water without allowing bacteria and mould to develop . This air conditioner has three settings , along with a rather funky blue LED light on the top . AO Best for : energy efficiency The AEG chill is an absolute solid , can't-go-wrong choice if you 're considering how to stay cool during the summer months . With three fan speeds and a dehumidifying function , you 'll have a refreshing and healthier living environment . The A+ energy efficiency rating is a particular stand out as many fans consume a high amount of energy and you do n't want to be racking up high utility bills . The fan can also be operated via the accompanying app so you can operate it from the comfort of your own sofa - perfect for when it 's too hot to move . De'Longhi Best for : all-year-round use Boasting four functions , De'Longhi 's Pinguino Portable Air @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Air conditioning , heating , dehumidification and a normal fan , it 's an appliance you can use regardless of the season - so it 's not going to be sitting around gathering dust when winter 's cold sets in . Better yet , from the handy remote which allows you to switch between the modes and fan speeds to the smooth castor wheels which allow for portability , it 's both easy to use and get going - even for those who , like myself , are DIY-challenged . In the box , you 'll find a window kit , collapsable tube included , so you can pump the hot air out of the sweltering room , while the machine circulates the Arctic breeze inside . And , thanks to the brand 's silent technology , it 's barely audible . Russell Hobbs Best for : powerful large room cooling Weighing 29kg and with a bland design , this Russell Hobbs unit wo n't add anything to your interiors - but that 's not why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so much more than flood your space with ice cool temperatures : it 's also a straight-up fan , great to use for warm weather that 's not a heatwave . It can also dehumidify muggy atmospheres , and warm the room when used in heat mode . Set up is simple , if a bit fiddly , involving screwing in exhaust pipes and sealing off a window with the provided kit . Luckily it 's on wheels which makes it easier to roll across hard floors , although you may have some shoving to do if you 've got carpets or rugs . The unit needs to be both close to a window and a mains socket but with a clearance of 45cm from all angles except directly underneath . Once in situ , play with the modes , temperature levels and oscillation to find the right cooling formula for you . It 's not exactly small , mind , so ensure you have space for it before you buy . MeacoCool 's MC Series 8000 teams brilliant cooling power with a fantastic price tag and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which the wide range of settings can be tweaked . We were also unexpectedly impressed with both of JML 's personal air conditioners , which proved that staying cool -- whether at home or on the go -- does n't need to cost the earth . |

Cars measuring five-metres or more could be in trouble stock image ( Image : tekinturkdogan via Getty Images ) Motorists driving some of the most sought-after cars from giants like BMW , Kia and Mercedes have been dealt a blow as they 're barred from parking in public car parks due to a little-known rule about parking space sizes . Autocar has unearthed that five local councils have put their foot down , banning any vehicle that 's too big for the standard spots from using council-run car parks . If your vehicle stretches beyond five metres , you 'll be out of luck finding a spot in these car parks , which cap off at just 4.8 metres .

In a statement , they compared past and present car dimensions : " In 1965 the top five models sold in the UK had an average width of 1.5 m and average length of 3.9 m , compared to an average width of 1.8 m and length of 4.3 m for the top five sellers of 2020 .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. The phrase 'takes the hassle out of dealing with pet hair-packed dust cups' involves an NP ('the hassle') as a complement of the complex preposition 'out of', followed by a gerund phrase 'dealing with pet hair-packed dust cups'. However, this does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, and the NP object 'the hassle' does not function as a causee. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

At TechRadar , we 've been testing the best vacuum cleaners for nine years . During that time , we 've reviewed nearly 200 different models . As the Homes Editor for floorcare appliances , a big part of my job is focused on vacuum cleaners of all kinds . I know what makes a great dust-buster , what specs and design features to look for , what type of cleaner will suit what customer , and which brands that can be relied upon to deliver . Based on all that expertise , and many , many hours of testing , I 've come to the conclusion that the Dreame R20 is the best vacuum cleaner for the majority of people . On test , it delivered impressive suction , paired with a nimble , lightweight build and useful automation features . It 's also excellent value for money . That said , it wo n't be ideal for everyone , so my ranking includes alternative options for a range of needs and budgets . For example , if you have a lot of carpet and need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with an upright , corded model . Those with mainly hard floors and not a lot of foot traffic can get away with more lightweight , lower-powered vacuums . I 'll talk you through the pros and cons of each model listed here , so you can choose with confidence . This article includes all different types of vacuums . We have a separate guide dedicated to the best cordless vacuums , if you know that 's what you want . All clear ? Read on for the best vacuum cleaners on the market ... Why you can trust TechRadar We spend hours testing every product or service we review , so you can be sure you 're buying the best . Find out more about how we test . For effortless cleaning , the X10 Pro Omni is our favorite robovac . It can mop and vacuum , will self-empty , and its room mapping is excellent . Set it to run while you 're out for minimal disruption . Read more below ? You need versatility : This vacuum comes with lots of detail tools and two floorheads , so can tackle a range of cleaning tasks . Do n't buy it if : ? You 'd like an auto-empty base : The PowerDetect at #6 has a compatible auto-empty base ; that 's not an option here . ? You want a very robust vacuum : This is a nimble vacuum ; for something sturdier check out the Shark Stratos , either in upright ( #3 ) or cordless ( #5 ) form . It 's not yet such a well known name as Dyson or Shark , but our reviewer was blown away when they tested this Dreame R20 vacuum . In fact , we think it 'll be the best vacuum cleaner for most people . This lightweight cordless vacuum delivers exceptional cleaning at a very competitive price -- it 's generally discounted to the bottom of the mid-range bracket , and punches well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ superb , on carpet as well as hard floor , and there 's also automatic dust detection -- meaning it 'll ramp up power when it senses the floor is especially dirty . The only thing missing is a low-powered mode for when you want to preserve battery , although the battery life is long enough that this might not matter . The R20 is one of the lightest stick vacuums on the market , thanks mainly to its carbon fibre wand . On test , we found it easy to maneuver -- plus , there 's an attachment that enables the wand to bend forwards to a right angle for easy cleaning under furniture . The design in general is very user-friendly , save for an over-sensitive power trigger and a slightly awkwardly placed finger guard ( in general , we 'd prefer an on-off switch instead , as features on the Detect Pro at #1 -- although Dreame does at least include a separate button for continual running ) . There 's also a multitude of attachments , including two floorheads ( one geared towards hard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ motorized cleaner head for upholstery . All that makes it nice and versatile , for tackling a range of cleaning tasks . Alternatives Another excellent all-rounder is the Shark Detect Pro cordless . It originally held the top spot in this list , but it 's increasingly hard to get hold of , and a lack of deals means the R20 is generally much better value these days . ? You want a top quality vacuum : Dyson vacuums are a cut above the competition in terms of quality and innovation . ? You love a hi-tech gadget : There are features here you wo n't find anywhere else -- including real time dirt reports as you clean . Do n't buy it if : ? You like to keep things simple : If you 're not interested in the bells and whistles , something like the Halo at #4 is a simple vacuum with superb cleaning powers . ? You 're on a budget : There are plenty of much cheaper options that 'll @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ including the R20 at #1 . If you have cash to splash and want a top-quality , meticulously engineered machine , the best vacuum for you is the Dyson V15 Detect . The suction is serious powerful , the design is efficient and user-friendly , and it feels top quality too . On top of that , you 're getting advanced features you wo n't find elsewhere . There are sensors in the floorhead that adjust suction levels depending on the kind of floor its on ( hard floor or carpet ) and how dirty it is , for a low-effort , battery-efficient clean . Some other vacuums here also offer similar automation ( namely the Dreame R20 at #1 and Shark PowerDetect at #6 ) but here it 's accompanied by real-time reports , delivered colorfully on a small screen , of exactly what the vacuum it sucking up as it does so . Alongside the main floorhead is a second , soft head designed specifically for use on hard floors . The clever addition here is a precisely-angled laser light , which creates big shadows @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be sure you have n't missed anything . It works far more effectively than the LED headlamps found on competitor machines , which are really just to brighten the way . You 're also getting a range of thoughtfully designed detail tools , including a mini motorized floorhead that has a conical roller to direct hair long straight into the bin rather that letting it get tangled up . It 's excellent for cleaning furniture . Our only real complaint with the design is that it 's trigger-operated , with no option to lock in for continual running . That means if you 're cleaning a large area , your finger is going to get tired . Overall , the V15 is an outstanding machine , but all this innovation comes at a serious price . For many people , a cheaper model will do an almost-as-good cleaning job , but if you decide to invest , you should n't be disappointed . Alternatives If you 're a fan of the brand , our guide to the best Dyson vacuums runs down your options in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your needs . If you want the latest and greatest ( based on specs ) , it 's the Dyson Gen5detect . The motor has been redesigned to be more powerful and efficient , and there are further design tweaks -- including button rather than trigger operation -- but otherwise it 's very similar to the same as the V15 . For more on how the two match up , head to our V15 Detect vs Gen5detect comparison . ? You do n't want a corded vacuum : Although the cord is fairly long , you 're still going to be tethered to a wall . ? You have a small home : This vac is relatively large and bulky ; a cordless stick is a better choice for small homes . If you want outright power , a corded upright is typically the best option , and our top pick in this category is the Shark Stratos Upright . If you need something for deep cleans , it 's an excellent choice , and on test we found it was great for tackling pet hair , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on your cleaning session , and while it can be annoying to have to navigate a cord , the fact that it 's 8m long means you should n't feel too tethered to the wall . A large dust cup means you wo n't be traipsing back and forth from the trash can , and our tester was a big fan of the anti-odor puck , which keeps things smelling fresh . While it 's clearly bulkier and heavier than the cordless vacuums in this list ( including the stick option from the same range , at #5 ) , it has been designed for maximum flexibility within that upright form factor . So the dust cup / motor part can be lifted off and held in your hand , and the cleaner head added to the end of a stretch hose -- super useful for tackling things like stairs . If you 're not sure it 's right for you , our guide to the best upright vacuums has plenty of alternative options . It 's worth noting before you buy that Shark makes a few Stratos @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exact model is n't available in the US , but there are various options with mostly the same features . The Halo Capsule X is a slightly quirkily designed vacuum , but when it comes to suction it 's seriously impressive . It aced all of our suction tests , and is our pick for the best vacuum for carpet , but it 's equally impressive on hard floors . It looks a little weird , but it 's comfortable to hold , feels light in the hand and is easy to maneuver too ( although a little tricky for getting right under furniture ) . Unusually in this list , the Capsule X is a bagged vacuum . That will be a negative for some , but it does have its benefits , including the ability to suck up fine particles like fireplace ash without ruining the motor . The bags are made from compostable cardboard and brown paper , to minimize environmental impact , but they do represent an ongoing cost . The battery life is fine but not the longest here , and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can extend runtimes by hot-swapping them . Neither does the Halo Capsule X offer much in the way of special features -- there 's no automatic suction adjustment based on dirt levels or floor type , as offered by vacuums like the Dreame R20 ( #1 ) , and there are no headlamps on the floorhead , either . So if you 're seeking smart features , look elsewhere in this list , but for pure suction power in a cordless form factor , the Halo Capsule X is an excellent choice . ? You really need something heavy duty : As a rule , a corded upright will always deliver the most powerful suction , if you can deal with the relative inconvenience . The Shark Stratos Cordless is the best vacuum if need to tackle pet hair . It packs an impressive amount of power for a cordless model and boasts a few features that make it especially well suited to households with hairy pets ( or indeed , hairy humans ) . The main floorhead -- which is suitable for hard floors as well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it 'll siphon hair off the brushroll as you clean , and direct it straight into the dust cup . This stops things getting clogged , while the built-in odor neutralizer keeps it all smelling fresh . There 's up to a full hour 's cleaning on one charge , and the dust cup is generous for a cordless too , which means you can clean for longer without having to empty it . A wand that can bend forwards to 90-degrees means getting right under furniture is a cinch , and on test we were also impressed with this vacuum 's ability to remove hair from furniture when used in handheld and Boost mode . All those factors mean it sits at the top of our best vacuum for pet hair guide . Alternatives If you do n't have such demanding cleaning needs , you could opt for a less robust option like the the Dreame R20 ( #1 ) . Alternatively , if you need maximum power and are happy to sacrifice maneuverability to get it , you can beat a corded upright like #3 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ extra convenience , you should also check out the PowerDetect at #6 , which has a compatible auto-empty dock that takes the hassle out of dealing with pet hair-packed dust cups . ? You have pets : The dock comes into its own for homes with lots of dust or pet hair . ? You suffer from allergies : The auto-empty system means far fewer chances for allergens to escape back into the air . Do n't buy it if : ? You have a small home : The dock is bulky and wo n't be worth it if you 're only vacuuming a smaller space . ? You have lots of nooks and crannies : This is a heavier option -- if you want a nimble vacuum , check out the Dreame at #1 . The Shark PowerDetect Clean & Empty is the only vacuum in this ranking to have a compatible auto-empty base . Dock the vacuum and all the dust will whoosh out of the small onboard dust cup and into a far @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ system . The dock will also charge the vacuum . It takes all the effort and mess out of emptying , meaning it 's a **27;957;TOOLONG job rather than something you have to do each time you clean . The system comes into its own in larger homes with lots of dirt or pet hair . It might also be helpful for those who suffer from allergies , because there will be far fewer chances for allergens to escape back into the air during emptying . It is a fairly bulky dock , so perhaps best suited to those who have a separate utility room where this can be tucked away . Shark has added an odor-neutralizing puck to the dock to stop it smelling musty . On the vacuum itself , you 're getting Shark 's most advanced detection features . The PowerDetect knows if what kind of floor it 's on and how dirty that floor is , and will adjust suction and brushroll speed accordingly . It can also sense when it 's near the edge of a room , and will increase suction on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dust that may have collected there . Shark has also redesigned the floorhead so it wo n't cause debris to pool behind it when the vacuum is pulled backwards -- this was an issue on previous models . While the PowerDetect Cordless is heavier and longer than other cordless models in this ranking , on test we found it packed a very impressive amount of suction power . Our reviewer was also a big fan of the fact the wand can bend forwards to 90 degrees to enable easier cleaning under furniture . Alternatives to consider Auto-empty vacuums are still quite rare , but there are a few alternatives to consider . The Shark Detect Pro also has an optional auto-empty dock . This vacuum is smaller , lighter and less powerful than the PowerDetect , and a little tricky to get hold of these days . If you have a bigger budget , there 's also the Samsung Bespoke Jet range -- the newest model being the Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra cordless vacuum . The dock is much slicker looking and the vacuum is high-end @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the PowerDetect . ? You 're struggling to stay on top of cleaning : Schedule this bot to clean regularly , while you 're out , so the dirt never builds up . ? You have hard floors as well as carpet : This bot mops as well as vacuuming , so it 'll take care of all your cleaning needs . Do n't buy it if : ? You want maximum suction : It 's not nearly as sucky as a manual vacuum , so you 'll need one of those for deep cleans . ? You have a home with lots of storeys : Robot vacuums ca n't get up and down stairs . If you 're after effort-free cleaning , perhaps it 's time to consider a robovac . Our top pick in this area is the Eufy X10 Pro Omni . It 's quite different from the other entries in this ranking , so if you know this is the type you want , head to our separate , dedicated guide to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ offers excellent suction power for a robovac ; on test it pulled all kinds of debris , fluff and hair and fluff out of our reviewer 's carpet . Robot vacuums are n't generally as powerful as manual models , and are designed for regular , light cleaning to prevent dust and dirt from building up . Most -- including the X10 -- can be scheduled to run while you 're out , for minimal disruption . This model comes with reliable mapping and navigation , and an intuitive and useful app , making remote control super-easy . While the onboard bin is necessarily small , it 'll self-empty when it docks itself to charge , so you 'll only need to deal with the generously sized dock dustbin . That one does have bags though . Like many robot vacuums today , the X10 can mop as well as vacuuming . Some robovac mops are a little ineffectual , but our tester was impressed here -- the rotating mop pads managed to clear sticky stains from hard floor . ( If hard floor cleaning is a priority @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wet-and-dry vacuum like the Tineco at #10 . ) While a robot vacuum can transform your cleaning regime , be aware that you probably will need to keep a dedicated manual vacuum . As well as being a better choice for occasional deep cleans , robovacs do n't do enormously well with edges , and ca n't clean anything that 's not a flat floor . They also ca n't climb stairs . ? You have pets : The mini pet brush is great at pulling hair from upholstery . Do n't buy it if : ? You have a lot of carpet : On test , this vacuum did n't perform that well on carpet . ? You live in the US : This model is UK-only . If you 're constantly vacuuming around after hairy pets , then the Samsung Jet 85 Pet could be your savior ( provided you do n't live in the US , where it 's not currently available ) . This vacuum 's mini motorized pet hair brush tool is the best our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ light work of dog hair on pet beds , car seats and more . The main Jet 85 Pet vacuum cleaner head also delivers great suction on hard floors , and fine ( although not amazing ) dirt pickup on carpet . It 'll deliver up to 44 minutes of vacuuming , depending which of the four power modes you use . ( It 's considerably less in the maximum ' Jet ' mode , but this is so powerful you 're unlikely to ever really need it . ) Elsewhere , this vacuum is ergonomic and comfortable to use , and overall a competent performer . For pet owners , and especially those with mostly hard floors in their home , it 's as very strong recommendation . ? You want a complete cleaner for hard floors : This 2-in-1 vacuums as well as mopping , so it 'll take care of all your hard floor cleaning needs . ? Your floors get very dirty : The S7 is perfect for bigger messes , and disinfects and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't buy it if : ? You have mostly carpet : This cleaner is n't suitable for carpet , so it 's only really worth the investment ( and space ) if you have mostly hard floors . ? Your floors do n't get that dirty : There are simpler , cheaper mop options if you just need something for light cleans . If you want a more complete cleaning solution for hard floors , we rate the Tineco Floor One S7 Pro the best wet-dry vacuum on the market . This model offers top-notch vacuuming and mopping , and deodorizes and disinfects as it goes , leaving floors spotless . It 's heavy at nearly 10kg , but its self-propelling capabilities make it super-easy to push about . All that cleaning power takes a toll on the battery life , which is relatively short at 40 minutes on one charge . Our tester also found the water tank a little small -- the clean water tank is 0.85L , while the dirty one is 0.72L ( to account for the fact that some water is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we found it needed to be emptied quite frequently . And as you might expect , it 's not for carpeted floors . There are lots of useful features , including voice prompts and a bright LED display that lets you know what mode you 're using as well as water and battery levels . Being able to vacuum and mop in one go is in itself a revelation for how much time and effort it saves . It 's a bit of an investment , but we think the performance justifies the higher price . If you want something more affordable , the Roborock Dyad Pro is our favorite budget wet-dry option . ? You need something to clean your car : This handheld offers strong suction and will get your car looking spick and span in an instant . ? You have pets : The motorized pet tool is great at tackling pet hair . Do n't buy it if : ? You want to also clean your home : A small dust cup @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tasks only . ? You have a very small car : This model is relatively large for a handheld , so it might not be able to get into every tiny nook and cranny . As the name suggests , the Shark Ultracyclone Pet Pro Plus ( sold as the Shark Classic Handheld Pet Vacuum in the UK ) is designed with pet owners in mind , but its compact size and impressive cleaning capabilities make it an absolute winner if you 're looking for the best car vacuum . Its motorized pet tool does an excellent job of picking up pet hair , but it 's also ideal for cleaning upholstery and getting dirt and debris off carpets ; there 's also a crevice tool that 's just the thing for getting into tight spots such as between sofa cushions , or behind foot pedals and inside door bins in your car . On test , we found the Ultracyclone Pet Pro Plus offered good suction and had no issues with clearing surface-level debris , although it struggled when it came to shifting ground-in dirt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the small size -- handhelds tend not to be able to match full-size vacuums in terms of suction . The battery life is also decent for a handheld ( Shark promises 10 minutes but we found we could eke 15 minutes out of a full charge ) , and long enough to give your car a thorough once-over . While this is a handheld vacuum it 's just a little on the large and heavy side , and you 'll need to find somewhere to store it when it 's not in use . However if you value having a spotless car interior ( particularly if you have pets ) , this one 's a fine choice . If none of the vacuums look quite right for you , here are some other models worth considering . These models all scored highly in our tests , but just did n't quite make our main guide . Shark PowerDetect cordless The PowerDetect sits at the top of Shark 's cordless range , and boasts a wide range of automation features . It 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) and better at cleaning on the reverse stroke . There 's also a compatible auto-empty base . Miele DuoFlex HX1This is a sturdy cordless vacuum with good suction , and useful automatic suction adjustment and a self-cleaning filter . It 's a little heavy , the dustbin is small and battery life relatively short , making it better suited to small homes This vacuum is powerful , and offers a good battery life and useful additions like floorhead headlamps and a scent-booster . It 's bagged , which means no more messy filter cleaning and no more dust escaping back into the air , although you will have to remember to buy new ' pods ' as needed . They have a generous 2L capacity , though . It 's UK-only , and with one of its regular discounts , can be great value for money . The best vacuum for most people right now is the Shark Detect Pro cordless . This vacuum is lightweight and easy to maneuver , has enough power for most people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't break the bank either . However , the Dreame R20 cordless stick vacuum is a very close runner-up , and also worth considering . If you 'd prefer a more traditional , upright model , our top pick is the Shark Stratos Upright , while those seeking a hands-off option should check out the the Eufy X10 Pro Omni robot vacuum . Shark and Dyson are two of the biggest names dominating the floor care market right now , so if you 're considering kitting your home out with a powerful new vacuum , it makes sense to opt for one of these brands . But which is best ? In a nutshell , Dyson vacuums are more expensive but this ensures you get a vacuum cleaner that 's extremely powerful but still lightweight and easy to maneuver around your home . Dyson vacuums are stuffed with cutting edge technology too , from lasers that highlight hidden dust to innovative floor heads that can be moved in any direction . If you prefer a cordless model , they also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cleaners are more affordable than Dyson 's offerings , but they can still match the stalwart when it comes to suction power . Shark models are not usually as sleek and stylish as Dyson 's , and they 're often heavier too , but they do come with useful technology such as the ability to stop hair getting tangled around the brush and flexible wands to ensure you can clean in hard to reach places . Shark vacuums tend to have larger dust canisters than most of Dyson 's models , but the battery does n't last as long . So are they better ? It very much depends on the layout of your home and your budget . Read our Shark vs Dyson article for a more in-depth look at the two floor-cleaning brands . Why you can trust TechRadar ? We 've tested over 185 vacuums and robot vacuums ? We reviewed 41 new vacuums in total over 2024 ? 9 years of vacuum testing experience At TechRadar , we test dozens of vacuum cleaners each year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cordless stick vacuums , to upright vacuums , to handheld vacs and robot vacuums -- at a range of price points and from different brands . Each model included here has been put through its paces either by a member of the TechRadar Homes team or by one of our trusted freelance reviewers . Our reviews are underpinned by a set of specific , standardized tests . Here 's a quick rundown of our vacuum cleaner review process . Suction tests These are designed to test how well the vacuum can suck up different kinds of debris on different floors . For fine debris , we sprinkle a teabag 's worth of loose , dry tea on a carpet or carpet-like rug , and see how many passes are needed to clear it . We 'll start on the vacuum 's lowest setting , then increase until there 's no mess left . To see how the vacuum handles chunkier debris , we run the same test using a handful of oats . We 'll then repeat both tests on hard floor . The final @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hair -- both human and pet . We 'll see how effectively the main floorhead can pull hair from both carpet and hard flooring , and test any hair-specific detail tools on furniture too . We 'll also check to see if it ends up tangled around the roller or is effectively diverted into the dust cup . Battery tests If the vacuum is cordless , we 'll record how long it lasts on a single charge , on each available suction setting , plus how long it takes to recharge . For corded vacuums , we note how long the cable is and if it 's generous enough not to be too much of a hindrance while cleaning . ( Image credit : Future ) General tests To get a feel for how the vacuum performs in general use , we 'll use it regularly over the course of a couple of weeks . We 'll report back on how easy it is to maneuver , how usable it is , if there were any unexpected pain points in the design .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes a process where 'it' (presumably a tool or method) removes the effort and mess associated with 'emptying', but 'emptying' is not a VP[-ing] predicate in this context. The sentence lacks a clear causer and causee relationship, and it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

At TechRadar , we 've been testing the best vacuum cleaners for nine years . During that time , we 've reviewed nearly 200 different models . As the Homes Editor for floorcare appliances , a big part of my job is focused on vacuum cleaners of all kinds . I know what makes a great dust-buster , what specs and design features to look for , what type of cleaner will suit what customer , and which brands that can be relied upon to deliver . Based on all that expertise , and many , many hours of testing , I 've come to the conclusion that the Dreame R20 is the best vacuum cleaner for the majority of people . On test , it delivered impressive suction , paired with a nimble , lightweight build and useful automation features . It 's also excellent value for money . That said , it wo n't be ideal for everyone , so my ranking includes alternative options for a range of needs and budgets . For example , if you have a lot of carpet and need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with an upright , corded model . Those with mainly hard floors and not a lot of foot traffic can get away with more lightweight , lower-powered vacuums . I 'll talk you through the pros and cons of each model listed here , so you can choose with confidence . This article includes all different types of vacuums . We have a separate guide dedicated to the best cordless vacuums , if you know that 's what you want . All clear ? Read on for the best vacuum cleaners on the market ... Why you can trust TechRadar We spend hours testing every product or service we review , so you can be sure you 're buying the best . Find out more about how we test . For effortless cleaning , the X10 Pro Omni is our favorite robovac . It can mop and vacuum , will self-empty , and its room mapping is excellent . Set it to run while you 're out for minimal disruption . Read more below ? You need versatility : This vacuum comes with lots of detail tools and two floorheads , so can tackle a range of cleaning tasks . Do n't buy it if : ? You 'd like an auto-empty base : The PowerDetect at #6 has a compatible auto-empty base ; that 's not an option here . ? You want a very robust vacuum : This is a nimble vacuum ; for something sturdier check out the Shark Stratos , either in upright ( #3 ) or cordless ( #5 ) form . It 's not yet such a well known name as Dyson or Shark , but our reviewer was blown away when they tested this Dreame R20 vacuum . In fact , we think it 'll be the best vacuum cleaner for most people . This lightweight cordless vacuum delivers exceptional cleaning at a very competitive price -- it 's generally discounted to the bottom of the mid-range bracket , and punches well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ superb , on carpet as well as hard floor , and there 's also automatic dust detection -- meaning it 'll ramp up power when it senses the floor is especially dirty . The only thing missing is a low-powered mode for when you want to preserve battery , although the battery life is long enough that this might not matter . The R20 is one of the lightest stick vacuums on the market , thanks mainly to its carbon fibre wand . On test , we found it easy to maneuver -- plus , there 's an attachment that enables the wand to bend forwards to a right angle for easy cleaning under furniture . The design in general is very user-friendly , save for an over-sensitive power trigger and a slightly awkwardly placed finger guard ( in general , we 'd prefer an on-off switch instead , as features on the Detect Pro at #1 -- although Dreame does at least include a separate button for continual running ) . There 's also a multitude of attachments , including two floorheads ( one geared towards hard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ motorized cleaner head for upholstery . All that makes it nice and versatile , for tackling a range of cleaning tasks . Alternatives Another excellent all-rounder is the Shark Detect Pro cordless . It originally held the top spot in this list , but it 's increasingly hard to get hold of , and a lack of deals means the R20 is generally much better value these days . ? You want a top quality vacuum : Dyson vacuums are a cut above the competition in terms of quality and innovation . ? You love a hi-tech gadget : There are features here you wo n't find anywhere else -- including real time dirt reports as you clean . Do n't buy it if : ? You like to keep things simple : If you 're not interested in the bells and whistles , something like the Halo at #4 is a simple vacuum with superb cleaning powers . ? You 're on a budget : There are plenty of much cheaper options that 'll @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ including the R20 at #1 . If you have cash to splash and want a top-quality , meticulously engineered machine , the best vacuum for you is the Dyson V15 Detect . The suction is serious powerful , the design is efficient and user-friendly , and it feels top quality too . On top of that , you 're getting advanced features you wo n't find elsewhere . There are sensors in the floorhead that adjust suction levels depending on the kind of floor its on ( hard floor or carpet ) and how dirty it is , for a low-effort , battery-efficient clean . Some other vacuums here also offer similar automation ( namely the Dreame R20 at #1 and Shark PowerDetect at #6 ) but here it 's accompanied by real-time reports , delivered colorfully on a small screen , of exactly what the vacuum it sucking up as it does so .

It 's excellent for cleaning furniture . Our only real complaint with the design is that it 's trigger-operated , with no option to lock in for continual running . That means if you 're cleaning a large area , your finger is going to get tired . Overall , the V15 is an outstanding machine , but all this innovation comes at a serious price . For many people , a cheaper model will do an almost-as-good cleaning job , but if you decide to invest , you should n't be disappointed .

You have a small home : The dock is bulky and wo n't be worth it if you 're only vacuuming a smaller space . ? You have lots of nooks and crannies : This is a heavier option -- if you want a nimble vacuum , check out the Dreame at #1 . The Shark PowerDetect Clean & Empty is the only vacuum in this ranking to have a compatible auto-empty base . Dock the vacuum and all the dust will whoosh out of the small onboard dust cup and into a far @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ system . The dock will also charge the vacuum . It takes all the effort and mess out of emptying , meaning it 's a **27;957;TOOLONG job rather than something you have to do each time you clean . The system comes into its own in larger homes with lots of dirt or pet hair . It might also be helpful for those who suffer from allergies , because there will be far fewer chances for allergens to escape back into the air during emptying . It is a fairly bulky dock , so perhaps best suited to those who have a separate utility room where this can be tucked away . Shark has added an odor-neutralizing puck to the dock to stop it smelling musty . On the vacuum itself , you 're getting Shark 's most advanced detection features . The PowerDetect knows if what kind of floor it 's on and how dirty that floor is , and will adjust suction and brushroll speed accordingly . It can also sense when it 's near the edge of a room , and will increase suction on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dust that may have collected there . Shark has also redesigned the floorhead so it wo n't cause debris to pool behind it when the vacuum is pulled backwards -- this was an issue on previous models . While the PowerDetect Cordless is heavier and longer than other cordless models in this ranking , on test we found it packed a very impressive amount of suction power . Our reviewer was also a big fan of the fact the wand can bend forwards to 90 degrees to enable easier cleaning under furniture . Alternatives to consider Auto-empty vacuums are still quite rare , but there are a few alternatives to consider . The Shark Detect Pro also has an optional auto-empty dock . This vacuum is smaller , lighter and less powerful than the PowerDetect , and a little tricky to get hold of these days . If you have a bigger budget , there 's also the Samsung Bespoke Jet range -- the newest model being the Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra cordless vacuum . The dock is much slicker looking and the vacuum is high-end @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the PowerDetect . ? You 're struggling to stay on top of cleaning : Schedule this bot to clean regularly , while you 're out , so the dirt never builds up . ? You have hard floors as well as carpet : This bot mops as well as vacuuming , so it 'll take care of all your cleaning needs . Do n't buy it if : ? You want maximum suction : It 's not nearly as sucky as a manual vacuum , so you 'll need one of those for deep cleans . ? You have a home with lots of storeys : Robot vacuums ca n't get up and down stairs . If you 're after effort-free cleaning , perhaps it 's time to consider a robovac . Our top pick in this area is the Eufy X10 Pro Omni . It 's quite different from the other entries in this ranking , so if you know this is the type you want , head to our separate , dedicated guide to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ offers excellent suction power for a robovac ; on test it pulled all kinds of debris , fluff and hair and fluff out of our reviewer 's carpet . Robot vacuums are n't generally as powerful as manual models , and are designed for regular , light cleaning to prevent dust and dirt from building up . Most -- including the X10 -- can be scheduled to run while you 're out , for minimal disruption . This model comes with reliable mapping and navigation , and an intuitive and useful app , making remote control super-easy . While the onboard bin is necessarily small , it 'll self-empty when it docks itself to charge , so you 'll only need to deal with the generously sized dock dustbin . That one does have bags though . Like many robot vacuums today , the X10 can mop as well as vacuuming . Some robovac mops are a little ineffectual , but our tester was impressed here -- the rotating mop pads managed to clear sticky stains from hard floor . ( If hard floor cleaning is a priority @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wet-and-dry vacuum like the Tineco at #10 . ) While a robot vacuum can transform your cleaning regime , be aware that you probably will need to keep a dedicated manual vacuum . As well as being a better choice for occasional deep cleans , robovacs do n't do enormously well with edges , and ca n't clean anything that 's not a flat floor . They also ca n't climb stairs . ? You have pets : The mini pet brush is great at pulling hair from upholstery . Do n't buy it if : ? You have a lot of carpet : On test , this vacuum did n't perform that well on carpet . ? You live in the US : This model is UK-only . If you 're constantly vacuuming around after hairy pets , then the Samsung Jet 85 Pet could be your savior ( provided you do n't live in the US , where it 's not currently available ) . This vacuum 's mini motorized pet hair brush tool is the best our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ light work of dog hair on pet beds , car seats and more . The main Jet 85 Pet vacuum cleaner head also delivers great suction on hard floors , and fine ( although not amazing ) dirt pickup on carpet . It 'll deliver up to 44 minutes of vacuuming , depending which of the four power modes you use . ( It 's considerably less in the maximum ' Jet ' mode , but this is so powerful you 're unlikely to ever really need it . ) Elsewhere , this vacuum is ergonomic and comfortable to use , and overall a competent performer . For pet owners , and especially those with mostly hard floors in their home , it 's as very strong recommendation . ? You want a complete cleaner for hard floors : This 2-in-1 vacuums as well as mopping , so it 'll take care of all your hard floor cleaning needs . ? Your floors get very dirty : The S7 is perfect for bigger messes , and disinfects and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't buy it if : ? You have mostly carpet : This cleaner is n't suitable for carpet , so it 's only really worth the investment ( and space ) if you have mostly hard floors . ? Your floors do n't get that dirty : There are simpler , cheaper mop options if you just need something for light cleans . If you want a more complete cleaning solution for hard floors , we rate the Tineco Floor One S7 Pro the best wet-dry vacuum on the market . This model offers top-notch vacuuming and mopping , and deodorizes and disinfects as it goes , leaving floors spotless . It 's heavy at nearly 10kg , but its self-propelling capabilities make it super-easy to push about . All that cleaning power takes a toll on the battery life , which is relatively short at 40 minutes on one charge . Our tester also found the water tank a little small -- the clean water tank is 0.85L , while the dirty one is 0.72L ( to account for the fact that some water is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we found it needed to be emptied quite frequently . And as you might expect , it 's not for carpeted floors . There are lots of useful features , including voice prompts and a bright LED display that lets you know what mode you 're using as well as water and battery levels . Being able to vacuum and mop in one go is in itself a revelation for how much time and effort it saves . It 's a bit of an investment , but we think the performance justifies the higher price . If you want something more affordable , the Roborock Dyad Pro is our favorite budget wet-dry option . ? You need something to clean your car : This handheld offers strong suction and will get your car looking spick and span in an instant . ? You have pets : The motorized pet tool is great at tackling pet hair . Do n't buy it if : ? You want to also clean your home : A small dust cup @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tasks only . ? You have a very small car : This model is relatively large for a handheld , so it might not be able to get into every tiny nook and cranny . As the name suggests , the Shark Ultracyclone Pet Pro Plus ( sold as the Shark Classic Handheld Pet Vacuum in the UK ) is designed with pet owners in mind , but its compact size and impressive cleaning capabilities make it an absolute winner if you 're looking for the best car vacuum . Its motorized pet tool does an excellent job of picking up pet hair , but it 's also ideal for cleaning upholstery and getting dirt and debris off carpets ; there 's also a crevice tool that 's just the thing for getting into tight spots such as between sofa cushions , or behind foot pedals and inside door bins in your car . On test , we found the Ultracyclone Pet Pro Plus offered good suction and had no issues with clearing surface-level debris , although it struggled when it came to shifting ground-in dirt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the small size -- handhelds tend not to be able to match full-size vacuums in terms of suction . The battery life is also decent for a handheld ( Shark promises 10 minutes but we found we could eke 15 minutes out of a full charge ) , and long enough to give your car a thorough once-over . While this is a handheld vacuum it 's just a little on the large and heavy side , and you 'll need to find somewhere to store it when it 's not in use . However if you value having a spotless car interior ( particularly if you have pets ) , this one 's a fine choice . If none of the vacuums look quite right for you , here are some other models worth considering . These models all scored highly in our tests , but just did n't quite make our main guide . Shark PowerDetect cordless The PowerDetect sits at the top of Shark 's cordless range , and boasts a wide range of automation features . It 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) and better at cleaning on the reverse stroke . There 's also a compatible auto-empty base . Miele DuoFlex HX1This is a sturdy cordless vacuum with good suction , and useful automatic suction adjustment and a self-cleaning filter . It 's a little heavy , the dustbin is small and battery life relatively short , making it better suited to small homes This vacuum is powerful , and offers a good battery life and useful additions like floorhead headlamps and a scent-booster . It 's bagged , which means no more messy filter cleaning and no more dust escaping back into the air , although you will have to remember to buy new ' pods ' as needed . They have a generous 2L capacity , though . It 's UK-only , and with one of its regular discounts , can be great value for money . The best vacuum for most people right now is the Shark Detect Pro cordless . This vacuum is lightweight and easy to maneuver , has enough power for most people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't break the bank either . However , the Dreame R20 cordless stick vacuum is a very close runner-up , and also worth considering . If you 'd prefer a more traditional , upright model , our top pick is the Shark Stratos Upright , while those seeking a hands-off option should check out the the Eufy X10 Pro Omni robot vacuum . Shark and Dyson are two of the biggest names dominating the floor care market right now , so if you 're considering kitting your home out with a powerful new vacuum , it makes sense to opt for one of these brands . But which is best ? In a nutshell , Dyson vacuums are more expensive but this ensures you get a vacuum cleaner that 's extremely powerful but still lightweight and easy to maneuver around your home . Dyson vacuums are stuffed with cutting edge technology too , from lasers that highlight hidden dust to innovative floor heads that can be moved in any direction . If you prefer a cordless model , they also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cleaners are more affordable than Dyson 's offerings , but they can still match the stalwart when it comes to suction power . Shark models are not usually as sleek and stylish as Dyson 's , and they 're often heavier too , but they do come with useful technology such as the ability to stop hair getting tangled around the brush and flexible wands to ensure you can clean in hard to reach places . Shark vacuums tend to have larger dust canisters than most of Dyson 's models , but the battery does n't last as long . So are they better ? It very much depends on the layout of your home and your budget . Read our Shark vs Dyson article for a more in-depth look at the two floor-cleaning brands . Why you can trust TechRadar ? We 've tested over 185 vacuums and robot vacuums ? We reviewed 41 new vacuums in total over 2024 ? 9 years of vacuum testing experience At TechRadar , we test dozens of vacuum cleaners each year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cordless stick vacuums , to upright vacuums , to handheld vacs and robot vacuums -- at a range of price points and from different brands . Each model included here has been put through its paces either by a member of the TechRadar Homes team or by one of our trusted freelance reviewers . Our reviews are underpinned by a set of specific , standardized tests . Here 's a quick rundown of our vacuum cleaner review process . Suction tests These are designed to test how well the vacuum can suck up different kinds of debris on different floors . For fine debris , we sprinkle a teabag 's worth of loose , dry tea on a carpet or carpet-like rug , and see how many passes are needed to clear it . We 'll start on the vacuum 's lowest setting , then increase until there 's no mess left . To see how the vacuum handles chunkier debris , we run the same test using a handful of oats . We 'll then repeat both tests on hard floor . The final @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hair -- both human and pet . We 'll see how effectively the main floorhead can pull hair from both carpet and hard flooring , and test any hair-specific detail tools on furniture too . We 'll also check to see if it ends up tangled around the roller or is effectively diverted into the dust cup . Battery tests If the vacuum is cordless , we 'll record how long it lasts on a single charge , on each available suction setting , plus how long it takes to recharge . For corded vacuums , we note how long the cable is and if it 's generous enough not to be too much of a hindrance while cleaning .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'moved the Terriers out of striking distance' involves a movement interpretation but lacks the -ing form in the VP2 predicate, and the object 'the Terriers' is not involved in an event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, it does not qualify as an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'coming out of' as a phrasal verb indicating origin or source, not involving a causer and causee relationship or the specific interpretations (movement/extraction or prevention) associated with the transitive out of -ing construction.

Steve Bannon , architect of US president Donald Trump 's America First movement , spoke to Edward Luce , US national editor , at the FTWeekend festival in Washington DC . The populist nationalist shared his views on everything from AI and alleging the election of American pope Leo XIV was ' rigged ' to declaring the US would be unable to continue financing its deficits without tax rises for wealthy Americans and big cuts to the ' deep state ' . Condemning foreign strongmen , he predicted Trump would serve a third term with the help of constitutional ' workarounds ' . And I said to somebody earlier , you 're the only person I remember , at least , being photographed going into jail with an FT . That was prison . Prison . Yes . No , I appreciate the distinction . And did prison radicalise you , or were you already radicalised ? I was radicalised , but it opened my eyes to a lot , to a lot . These prisons are very dangerous , extremely dangerous for the non-violent young drug offenders put in there for 10 , 15 , 20 , 25 years . Danbury is a very small place when you have to live the next 20 years of your life in a prison that 's 100 years old that 's supposed to have 800 inmates ; it has 1,200 because of the overcrowding because of so many foreign nationals . It 's very dangerous . And the prisons have to be reformed . I 'm working with Jared and Peter Navarro to get the BOP candidates in and start to do some serious prison reform . And Jared , and I know , actually , this is a rare cross-party issue . Jared has n't had jail experience , but you and Navarro ... Well , his father went to prison . Jared 's in back of the First Step Act . First Step Act is revolutionary . It has n't been implemented . The thing I found shocking , it has n't been implemented . I do n't to say it 's because it was Trump 's bill . I think a lot of it was incompetence or just lethargy . But the First Step Act could cut inmates ' , non-violent criminals ' time in half , and it has n't been implemented . So Jared is really the author of that . He did a brilliant job . I was n't that into it when he first did it . I got into it late to help get it passed because of the politics . But it 's brilliant and we 're trying to do so much more . The prisons are a disgrace in this country , absolute disgrace . I think a lot of people would agree with you . I want to get into the meat of what Maga is and what the real end game is , beyond the trolling , if there is a beyond the trolling , I mean , which is sort of my suspicion and you can allay it if you like . But let me start with current affairs , which is the Cardinal Prevost , who is now , of course , Leo XIV . You said a couple of weeks ago - or , no , 10 days ago , whenever it was , that he was the dark horse candidate . And then he became Pope . So you you 've got a pretty good predictive record . I mean , I have to say I find there is a sort of Trump reaction going on around the world . And I see it as Canada , Australia , the Vatican . And you 've described him as a basic , I think a cultural Marxist . Can you ... Well , from Bergoglio . Remember , Bergoglio was anti-Trump from the beginning in the ' 16 campaign . When he did the mass down on the border , he criticised our building the wall , at that time , candidate Trump . And I recommended he come back strong on that . And Bergoglio the entire time has been virulently anti-Trump . But it 's not just being anti-Maga , anti-Trump . That 's the politics of it . And Prevost is a continuation . But it is , for the traditional Catholics in the crowd , the Latin Mass Catholics , the pre-Vatican II Catholics , we 're close to a schism in the church between Bergoglio and this kind of radical way he 's taking it . And Prevost , what my research found , and we have lots of contacts in the Curia . We have lots of contacts in the Vatican . I 've spent a lot of time in Italy . We had a monastery that we actually owned before the government took it away from us to be kind of a counter to what was going on in the Vatican . So we have a broad network of the traditionalists . And Prevost , and I 'm saying this . The conclave for the Pope was more rigged than the 2020 election . Now , why do I say ... let me back it up with some facts . On Piers Morgan 's show 10 days before the conclave started , I called it . I said , Prevost is the dark horse . He was n't in any betting pool , If you look at Italian TV , nowhere . The reason is is not only is the ... he 's only been a cardinal less than two years . He was the perfect acolyte for Bergoglio to continue his thing , and the front page of The New York Times says that today , if you read the whole huge front-page story . More importantly , because of our efforts and other ... because the traditional church in America is on fire with vocations and young people and vibrancy and urgency , that we help cut off the money going to the Vatican . And so the Vatican . The Wall Street Journal had a huge article this week that showed the Vatican has tons of assets , but they 're illiquid . They need the American cash . They would never put a traditional American in that role because they think the American church has too much power . Prevost is going to be the contact for the big American donors . There was a joke at the time , a couple of days ago when he got made Pope that Mayor Daley had rigged another election , the Chicago cardinal . But , I mean ... His brother did say ... You 're underestimating the reaction against Trump here and the influence of Pope Francis on having appointed two-thirds , three-quarters of the cardinals , whatever . That 's true , but he was .. it is . And he worked in the dicastery for the archbishops . However , he was virtually totally unknown . The American cardinals came out today and said , he 's the least American of the cardinals , and we do n't really know him . This was a true dark horse . And it only took three ballots , folks . It took one day . They had one vote late in the afternoon . Next day , they came back . It is impossible ... The Daily Mail reports he talked to his brother two days before the conclave , and they were talking about picking Leo , he wanted to pick Leo , but he thought it might be the 13th , and then he figured out it was the 14th . How would you talk to your brother about that ? This was totally rigged by the Curia to be both anti-Trump and to drive ... we 're going to have a schism in the church because the traditional Catholics are not going to go along with the continuation of Bergoglio . So let 's park the pope for a moment . I want to get ... No , no , I asked you about the Pope , just to be clear . I told you not to go there . Let 's start with taxes . I 'm not yet regretting having gone there , but let 's park him . I want to get into ... I think it 's fair to say that you are the best explainer of Maga , particularly to audiences like this . And you read the FT for a reason , and that you present a theory of the case . And I was trying to think ... you were a strategist during the 2016 election and then in the White House in Trump 's first term . And you have been the chief explainer of Maga to many , many audiences . Who is the equivalent of you ? And the answer I came up with , from past eras of figures who are n't necessarily elected but have a sort of command over shaping the zeitgeist , was Grover Norquist . And Grover Norquist had a huge influence , very different , but a huge influence over Republicans in Washington by getting them to sign the anti-tax pledge , which was binding and sort of militantly enforced . And he really shaped the Republican Party into being purely a party of tax cuts . You 're quite different . But I want you to explain first , before I follow up , why you 're different . I mean , you do n't believe in tax cuts , right ? I believe in massive tax cuts for the middle class and the working class , and permanent . I believe if we ca n't cut federal spending , that the wealthy in this country , at least the millionaires , ought to be at 40 per cent as a start . The country 's in a financial crisis . We 've had the greatest concentration of wealth under President Obama because of the bailouts in 2008 , how they were done . And now , because of Covid , we have a tremendous concentration of wealth in this country , such that we have a capitalist system with very few capitalists . I think 75 per cent of the people do n't own any real assets or financial assets . So we have to have fundamental change in this country . Part of that has to come from the tax structure , I think you see from Grover Norquist , they 're playing from a playbook . We 've changed the electorate in the Republican party . We are a working-class and middle-class party . And the reason is the Democrats , the credentialed class completely abandoned the Democratic party . I come from a Democratic family . We were Irish people - firemen , phone workers , cops , that type of thing , union people . And the Democratic party abandoned us . And that 's why 100 and some days into this , there 's no real theory of the case on the Democratic side . Bob Reich , the labour secretary , wrote this brilliant piece in The Guardian the other day calling for a left-wing populism . But there 's no left-wing populism until you start talking about economic issues . You can watch MSNBC or these things all night long , and you never see - Ro Khanna is never on . Fetterman , they 're trying to run out of the party . Sherrod Brown 's defeated . They never talk about the core issues of economics that are important to the American people . And we 're going to get into that . Quickly , how often do you talk to President Trump ? I think if you watch the show c- we 're four hours a day - he gets clips every day . And I think you can see that a lot of the Truth Socials or things come out of some of the stuff we say , but it 's frequently enough . Frequently enough . But listen , he 's got the weight of the world on his shoulders . The last thing he needs is a Steve Bannon calling him up all the time , hey , here are my thoughts . My thoughts are out . My thoughts are on that show every day . The reason the show is so powerful - it 's a working-class audience and a middle-class audience who are activists . It 's all about using your human agency . No , I get that . We 'll get to that . And so by doing that ... Is it once a week , once a day ? ... he sees it . Is it sort of daily , weekly ? No , no , no , I do n't talk to him once a day . No . He 's got the weight of the world on his shoulders . What does he Bannon bugging him for on some ... The reason I ask in this context is there 's a budget before the House . And that budget says we will pay for the tax cuts with cuts to Medicaid , essentially $880bn , whatever it is , to the middle class . Well , hold it . He 's not on the ... And Trump is clearly conflicted on this . He 's got Elon Musk on this shoulder and Steve Bannon on this . Right . Or maybe it 's Tucker Carlson . I do n't know . But he has different ... Well , Tucker not on the economics . He has different perspectives on the economics . On both Medicaid and the tax cuts , he watches the show . He knows where I stand . We send the staff a lot of information . And the Jason Millers in the world that are not in - remember , there are many prominent people that give advice to President Trump - Boris Epshteyn , Jason Miller - who are not in the administration . Scott Bessent was a contributor on our show . Navarro was a co-host . Russ Vought was a contributor . So it 's not that we lack for these things . And President Trump , I think that shows you the difference . The Republican party that you talk about with Grover Norquist is dead . The electorate has totally changed . We have n't changed the apparatus on Capitol Hill . That 's why we still have these fights . They want to cut $880bn out of Medicaid . And you ca n't do it , because Maga is on Medicaid because there 's not great jobs in this country . OK , so let 's say that it happens . Let 's typify it as the Grover Norquist bill because that is a Grover Norquist bill . I 'd rather say I was Mark Rylance in Cromwell in Wolf Hall than Grover Norquist . It 's certainly more gripping to ... no , no , it 's not . This is gripping to watch . And right now , it looks like Grover Norquist 's bill is going to be passed , in some form . I totally disagree with that . OK . First off , Grover Norquist does n't want no tax on tips , no tax on Social Security , no tax on overtime . He 's a protector of what the Republican party was . And still part of it is a big donor party . It 's one of the problems with the Democrats . The big donors run the Democratic party also . Everything you see on MSNBC and Fox is all pro wrestling . It 's not the heart of it . The heart of it is money and power . And that 's what we 're trying to do . And we 're trying to do this by breaking the Grover Norquist mentality on Capitol Hill . And it is a struggle . But I think if you see this bill right now , that 's why they did n't ... they have n't put out whether the upper brackets are going to be permanent . There 's all types of moving pieces on this . And the date you have to look at is the debt ceiling in August . This is going to be fought and negotiated , marked up , debated intensely over the next couple of months . Now , I take it you would support a tax increase on the very wealthy . Oh , definitely . A serious one or a symbolic one ? No , seriously . The math does n't work unless you do that . For the upper bracket - I think the entire upper bracket , but I would go to a million dollars and above - have to pay 40 per cent . And they definitely do n't get a tax cut permanently . And if they ca n't help on cutting the spending , which they 're one of the drivers of , eventually taxes may have to go up from that . But the system we have is unsustainable . You ca n't have $2tn deficits annually and continue to try to finance those . We 're the world 's reserve currency now , but the Brics nations and the rest of the world are getting smart to the scheme . The reason I 'm sort of pressing you on this is because you are really ... I agree with your diagnosis of what 's happened to the middle class in the last 40 years or so . They have been squeezed , and there has been a rising inequality . And there has been populist resentment . Some of it comes from that , not all of it . And we can get on to the other bits , but some of it comes from that . And so you identify inequality as an issue . But the simple way of looking at this thing is if you want to redress inequality , you 're going to have to reduce freedom . Freedom and equality are a zero-sum game . Yet your ... Freedom for the billionaires ? Is that my trade-off ? Oh , well , that might be , but that 's rhetorical . Let me finish my ... I 'll hit the bit on that . OK . But the freedom and equality thing is generally seen as a trade-off . And yet your solution to the , I think , correctly diagnosed , for what it 's worth , middle-class problem is for more freedom . It 's the deconstruction of the administrative state , which makes life easier for billionaires . There 's a real tension there . Yes , but look , OK , but hang on . Let 's be specific . Right now , and this is what populist nationalism is doing . Right now , in this city , we have the oligarchs up against the wall . We have Google ... this is the FTC under President Trump , Ferguson , Gail Slater and the team over at the Antitrust Division at DOJ at Main Justice , the FCC . And , hey , we 're all advocates of Lina Khan , who was one of the best chairmen the FTC ever had and hung out to dry by the Democratic party because they 're owned by the oligarchs . We 're breaking up Google . We have the search engine in one court in Northern Virginia , and we have the ad sales apparatus in the other . Facebook , he went and begged Trump in the Oval Office multiple times , do n't send me to trial . He 's in trial right now . Are you sure this is n't a shakedown and that , at some point , Google , Mark Zuckerberg , and Sundar Pichai will be able to call off these antitrust actions by going to Trump and saying , we 'll give you a billion dollars of free legal advice ... President Trump , by selecting this team - this team , we are neo-Brandeisians like Lina Khan . This is the most aggressive antitrust apparatus we 've ever had . This goes back to Teddy Roosevelt or to FDR . You 're confident that this is actually ... Here 's where I 'm confident . I 'm confident that they all came and begged for mercy . They all came to beg for mercy . And they 're all in federal court getting broken up right now . Now , people know this . The city is run by big pharma , big tech , and the big defence industry . Let 's not kid ourselves . Let 's have an adult conversation . They own it . They own the law firms . They 're partners with the private equity firms . They own all the lobbyists . They own the media , except for The Financial Times and a few brave others . No . But you know this . And so , yes , it 's an uphill struggle . And I think President Trump 's been particularly heroic in this and has n't gotten any credit . But , look , every day in the Oval Office is a pressure cooker where they 're coming at him from every different angle . And the broligarchs - Elon Musk wrote a big cheque to back a ground game that without that cheque we would have won , but it would have been a much tougher tractor pull . And I do n't think we would have heard about it at 10 o'clock at night on the 5th . OK . So they get some runway . But Trump is crushing the oligarchs right now . I 'm very proud of the fact that I 'm the only person , except some folks on the left , that stood up to him because of the H1-B visas . That 's where it started , which is a total scam to do nothing but take jobs away . This is why we have no minorities , no Blacks and Hispanics in Silicon Valley , because the H-1B visas were bringing indentured servants over here from other countries who should n't be . It 's outrageous we 're doing that . But that was just one . Elon Musk and I had many , many fights . But Elon Musk is gone , right ? Elon Musk is gone , and I 'm still here . You are . I will concede that point . And you also called him a racist and said he should go back to South Africa . And what we are seeing , though , on the other side of the ledger , is that the only refugees being admitted to this country are Afrikaners , Boers or whatever . I disagree with that totally . It does look ... I understand that there is a sort of fortress America element to Maga . But do you see how the rest of the world sees this ? Look , I do n't agree with everything . You 're not going to agree with everything . There 's so many huge things going on . And President Trump , on so many different levels , is delivering so far beyond , whether it 's national security strategy , America-first economics or the deportations , the sealing of the border in 60 days , when people told us it 's going to take 10 years and 2 million more invaders . He 's doing so much . Some of the stuff I do n't agree with . I think a lot of that 's on the margin . I 'm a believer that right now , to protect the African-American and Hispanic community in this country , working-class and middle-class people , that we ought to cease , at least temporarily , all visas into the country - all . I do n't care if you 're from Norway , South Africa , or wherever , just so we can ... All work visas . No work visas . When President Trump said he wanted to put a green card , staple it to every college degree , I said , look , I love the president . I know he wants to make this the best and the brightest . I would staple an exit visa that gives them 30 days to go back home . American kids in this country under 30 ca n't get jobs they can buy houses on . The only way you 're going to do that is stop having the world come to their country and compete against them . And so I 'm a hardcore , we have to stop it temporarily . Get all the scams out of these visa programmes , because they 're riddled with scams by the corporations . We have to make them for the American citizen first and the country first and then open it back up . So has DOGE been a failure ? DOGE was not ... look , I was deconstructing the administrative state and destroying the deep state . What DOGE did , I think you did have to give kind of a trauma blow to the administrative state to get their attention . What I did n't like about DOGE and I said it from day one . It 's getting the people on Capitol Hill off the hook on the smart cuts we have to make to federal spending - we spend about $1.7tn trillion discretionary - before you get to the entitlements , because you 're never going to get to the entitlements . The American people will never trust you until they see what you can do on discretionary . And discretionary has to start in the Pentagon . We ca n't afford and we do n't need a $1tn defence budget . But you have to do it smartly . Look at all the Congressmen were running around like little kids thinking he 's some fairy godmother that 's going to give them $1tn in fraud . That 's not going to happen . There is fraud in the system . There 's plenty of fraud over in the Pentagon , of which they did n't ... or at least they did n't expose any . So it gave people off the hook . So now we 're in May with a debt ceiling that 's going to come due - and Scott Bessent is as smart as you get - with a debt ceiling that 's going to come due in August . And if you look at these cuts , it 's kind of ephemeral . It 's $163bn , but they did n't touch defence . You do n't know if they 're really real cuts . We 've wasted , in that regard , I think , three or four valuable months because DOGE did n't deliver . And if they have , I would love to do it . I keep asking Russ Vought every couple of days , have we codified the waste , fraud , and abuse that was supposed to be seen by DOGE ? I saw it yesterday on the Hill , I think the Senate voted against some bill to actually codify the DOGE cuts in one department . So , no , I think , overall , what it 's done is OK , but it 's been like an IT department . So one of your most-quoted comments is ' deconstruction of the administrative state ' . Yeah . You want to cut the fiscal deficit , right ? I mean , you 've just been outlining what ... It 's 6.5 per cent of GDP right now . We have to get down to 3 per cent 3.5 per cent . Is the IRS part of the administrative state ? Yes . So how are you going to cut the deficit if you 're not collecting taxes ? Well , I did n't say ... listen , it 's , do you cut blindly ? No . The administrative state has become a fourth branch of government that 's not elected . Whether AOC - and I saw it up close and personal in the White House - whether AOC is president or Donald Trump is president , the administrative state and the deep state run this town . You 're just passing through . That 's what we have to break up , this fourth branch of government that was never conceived in the Constitution . This is where I 'm confused , though . OK . I mean , is the DOJ and the FTC that are prosecuting Google , are they the deep state ? No , the deep state is the , no . That 's the administrative state . And we fought ... Or the administrative , sorry . But the administrative state is the bureaucracy in the administrative state that runs things . The deep state is the kind of rogue Praetorian Guard of certain elements - the Defence Department , intelligence , FBI , DOJ - that run the deal and have to be rooted out , root and branch . The administrative state , we fought the other day on the show . We lit up Jordan 's office when it came that they wanted to do away with the FTC . They magically wanted to do away with the FTC and make one agency as a cost cutting just when FTC 's got Zuckerberg in court . And we came on and said , no , you ca n't do it . And they backed off the other day . I 'm not an anarchist . And we 're not libertarians . We do n't say you ca n't have any state . What you ca n't have is an administrative state that has a $7tn budget that is out of control . You have to deconstruct that . You have to get down to the limited government . Conservatives have talked about it forever . We 're actually doing it now . And you can do it . And you can keep an FTC . You can keep an FCC . You can keep a DOJ , FBI . Quite frankly , I think the FBI should be eliminated . And Kash Patel is a very close friend of mine , and Kash Patel clearly has other ideas because he went to Congress yesterday and asked for a billion dollars more than President Trump put in the budget . So , no , there are aspects of this that have to be taken apart . There are other aspects that have to be streamlined for more efficiency , more effectiveness . But we 're not anarchists . We do n't want to get - we do n't want to do away with all of the state . So I 'm aware of the time . I 've got tons of questions , but I 'm aware it would be selfish to take up all the remaining time . And so there will be some left for the audience . The other phrase that you 're most quoted as having said is ' flooding the zone with shit ' . Now , flooding the zone with shit implies some of the stuff you 're flooding is n't shit , right ? So I promised I 'd get back to the Pope . Clearly ... Clearly , Trump , picturing himself , sending out a picture , a meme of him as the Pope , that 's shit , right ? And we all get outraged , and our outrage is part of the pleasure of politics . It 's two or three ... ... or Maga . In the first term , because we came from behind , We had no team , no organisation . There was no bench . And I said at the time to PBS , we were trying to put up two or three things a day so the media jumps on one , and the other two - they 're not trolling . We get ... now , this is why it was so ... Well , that was trolling , though . What do you mean ? And then it worked , right ? I mean , I 'd like to be Pope . I 'd be a great Pope . Elect me Pope . Clearly , the reaction was outrage , and it 's quite amusing . Even I was amused . But that 's how the left ... the left kills themself because they jump all over this and they have So that 's trolling . That 's trolling . Right . But then some of the stuff is n't shit . No , no , no . Some of the stuff is real . Do you know instinctively when Trump ... however often you talk to him , do you know instinctively which is shit and which is not shit ? No , because you can see - this is Project 2025 , the phrase that shall not be used , right ? This is why the providential win in ' 16 , the steal in ' 20 was actually just as providential from our perspective . We could see just how radical this government would be . Remember , all of us in Trump 's inner circle and Trump himself - debanked , deplatformed , IRS audits , eventually prison . They tried to send Trump to prison for 700 years . But in doing this in the coming back , as Trump did , and understanding what they 're going to do , a political strategy was the precinct strategy to get people active , to use your agency to go take over every precinct , to take over the Republican Party , and build a real base of Maga for Trump . The other was these public intellectuals - Stephen Miller at America First Law , America First Policy Institute with Brooke Rollins , Russ Vought at CRA , DeMint and Meadows over at CPI . And the kind of overarching was the Heritage , Dr Roberts and Project ' 25 . That was to take every vertical that we had to hit the deck plates , and we had not done it in the first term . And actually , when you hit , this time , instead of two or three things , you 're going to have five executive orders . You 're going to have five executive actions . You 're going to have actual things that you 're going to flood the zone and so overwhelm the opposition they ca n't cope . And that is what the first 100 days , I think , has shown you . There 's been some trolling ... But you can decode what Trump really means from what - I mean , presumably , trade wars are easy to win . That 's something he 's believed for many decades , or that at least trade wars are worth fighting . The trade deficits are a measure of how much we 're being ripped off . That 's not flooding the zone with shit , right ? That is something that he actually believes , whereas ... Yes , we believe that to the core of our being . Our movement believes that . And so can you tell - because there 's stuff in between - can you tell , I do n't know , when he says Abrego Garcia has MS-13 on his knuckles - I mean , we know that 's photoshopped , right ? But hang on . But when you 've got ... he 's a Maryland man , and you know that he worked for a human trafficker in Houston . He was picked up in his car in Tennessee . We have police reports about that . And the media is going to sit there like he 's some innocent victim ? Stop it . This guy 's a hardened criminal , and he 's leaving the country . And if the Democratic party wants to argue about a guy like that coming back from El Salvador from a prison , go ahead and argue it . It 's a 90/10 issue . And this shows me how out of touch the Democratic party is because that issue is about protecting Hispanics and African-American working class in this country . You might be right about him . I do n't know . But I think that the argument is also , does he get due process ? That 's the real argument . But the MS- Hold it . You do n't get ... The MS-13 There is no due process . ... was photoshopped . If you 're not an American citizen , you 're here illegally , there 's no due process . And I 'm telling you , this is coming to a head because President Trump , we started it on the show , and this is how it picks up momentum . We are going to suspend the writ of habeas corpus if the courts keep ruling against this and do n't allow these mass deportations to continue , just like President Lincoln . This was an invasion . The country is at war . He 's commander-in-chief . It 's Article II power . And this is going to come ... Are you predicting that will happen or are you ... I 'm predicting ... ... arguing it should happen ? First off , there is going to be a Constitutional crisis before the court leaves . You just saw the federal judge in San Francisco last night ruled against him , his Article II power to basically rearrange and fire people in these agencies , et cetera . There 's a challenge - the only way the Democrats are even winning right now is to delay , is to deny , is to delay . They have no political operation . They have no counterargument . They have no populist economics . So what they 're doing is getting more and more radical on these raids , like they did in New Jersey yesterday . And the judges are trying to stop him . The Supreme Court 's going to have to make a decision about President Trump 's Article II powers , and we 're going to see it . And I believe , if the courts keep trying to slow him down , you 're going to see him , as Stephen Miller laid out pretty well yesterday , and it 'll be , I 'm sure , developed over time , suspension of the writ of habeas corpus , just like President Lincoln did in the Civil War . But if ... and I 'm asking for a prediction . If the Supreme Court votes the wrong way from your point of view , do you predict that Trump will ignore it ? I think we 'll have to wait till that time . That 's what I 'm saying . What 's your instinct ? First , I do n't think we 'll lose . We 'll win at least 5-4 , probably more . But I do n't want to handcuff President Trump on what he 's going to do and what his possibilities are . He 's the commander-in-chief . We have been invaded . This is the easy part too . These are the criminals and the terrorists . We have 10mn more people that have to leave the country or we do n't have a country . We have to do it humanely . We have to do it with Judeo-Christian values . But they have to go . And this is what the Democrats know , by jamming us up in court right now and making this so painful , how tough it 's going to be . But before the Supreme Court leaves for their summer break , there 's going to be a Constitutional crisis . We have , like , a four-minute rapid-fire round before I 'll open it to the audience . Will Trump run for a third term ? Yes . So ... And he 'll win the third term , and he 'll be the president ... What does the court think about that ? I mean ... We 'll have to see at the time . OK . I mean , the 22nd Amendment is pretty clear on this , right ? It 's pretty clear what his Article II power is , and I think we have 250 lawsuits in federal court right now . So when people tell me that it 's pretty clear , it 's pretty clear what the president 's power is . It 's pretty clear what his power is to basically reprogramme And he had a federal judge yesterday said , gave a temporary restraining order for the entire nation on 21 different agencies . So when I hear that argument , I say , hey , the Constitution is clear on a lot of things until it 's defined . President Trump will run again . He will run again , and he will win again . And he 'll be the president on the afternoon of 20 January 2029 . I did n't say we were going to break ... I never said we were going to break the 22nd Amendment . There are multiple workarounds . You mean running as running mate ... There 's ... ... to JD Vance . Multiple ... at the appropriate time , probably after the ' 22 midterms , I will lay out the case of the ... President Trump has nothing to do with this . He 's already said , hey , look , I want to be here four years and do a great job . And you can tell ... the pressure on him every day . He 's leaving for Saudi Arabia , what , tomorrow . The pressure on him every day ... this is something that we 're totally doing on the outside , but it 's a very serious effort . And the reason it 's a serious effort ... a guy like Trump comes along once in a country 's history . We 've had General Washington at the birth of the country . We 've had Lincoln at the rebirth . We 've had President Trump . This is the age of ... folks , you can it or not like it . Let me give you a fact . You 're living in the age of Trump . This is the age of Trump . He 's totally redefined American politics . He 's totally redefined politics going forward . He 's saved our nation from going down at the hand of these globalists . So let 's get back to rapid-fire . And I was going to move ... the question was going to be , is Vladimir Putin a force for good ? No . He 's a KGB agent , not a force for good . The Russian people ... you saw the ceremony the other day . Russian people were our great ally in World War II . 35 million gave their lives fighting the Nazis , like Lao Beijing , the Chinese , and we abandoned both of them at the end of the war and threw them to the dogs . And then , in ' 89 , with both of those systems ' collapsed , we threw them to the dogs again . Those are our allies . No , Putin is not a good guy . He 's not a force for good in the world . He 's a KGB guy . Was Joseph Stalin a force for good in the world ? Are you asking me ? No , I was saying because we were partnered with Joseph Stalin . He 's right up there with Hitler . OK ? We partnered with very bad people in the past . And what you saw happening in Moscow the last couple of days was Xi and Putin looking like two teenagers on a first date ... is not good for this country . We had every opportunity to try to have a Russian rapprochement and pull Russia out of that relationship with China . And this is going to have now a massive , terrible impact , not just for our current generation , but for future generations . Are you turning a bit on Putin ? No , I 've never been a pro-Putin guy . He 's a KGB ... Do you think Trump is turning a bit on Putin ? I do n't think so . I think , look , he understands these guys are ... the mullahs , Xi , the criminals in Beijing and in Moscow , these are bad hombres . Nobody says they 're good guys . They 're bad hombres . Trump knows that . They did n't cross Trump . They would n't have gone to Ukraine ... they did n't go to Ukraine when Trump was there because they 're not going to cross him . But President Trump 's seeing it right now and trying to get to some solution in Ukraine . He sees exactly how they act . They 're going to do what 's in their interest . And this is going to be a grind . And that 's ... I think President Trump going to the Gulf Emirates this week is a start . They had some sort of involvement in this Kashmir thing . I think what people do n't understand that arc of instability from Ukraine all the way down through Turkey . Arc of instability . That arc of instability is like a tinderbox right now . You 're one misstep away from the whole thing going up . This is the kinetic part of the Third World War . It 's much bloodier- - what 's happened in the last - since Ukraine than what happened from Poland to June of ' 41 with the Wehrmacht going into Russia . It 's much bloody . It 's five times bloodier . We 're in a kinetic part of a global struggle right now . So two very final , I mean , rapid , if possible , more rapid than it 's been . Which Democrat do you most fear ? Right now , none , really , because they have n't embraced economic populism and economic nationalism . There 's a lot of talent over there . It just seems to kind of wander around . You have a lot of governors that could be very competitive , although I think we 're past that era . You 've got , maybe it 's a Mark Cuban . You do n't know how Newsom is going to reposition himself . And we 'll have to see . They have to get an idea of how to turn the country around economically . The final one , then we 'll go to the floor . Yeah . The comment that Trump made the other day with Terry Moran of ABC that , no , he 's not going to run for a third term , he 's not going to take your advice , and it should be Vance or Rubio . That sounded to me like a classic set your underlings against each other . Or , he said , among others . But if you were to choose who would Trump 's successor be , who would that be ? Trump . It 's going to be Trump because , otherwise , you 're going to get around all the court intrigue . We have to focus . We have to ... we need a sense of urgency on what we 're doing . And that , to me , is the best way , is to just focus on it 's going to be Trump . We 'll figure out how we get there . We 're already way down the road on that . Focus on now , between now and the midterms , of everything that has to happen national security-wise , the economy , the deportations . You got so many huge ... think about it . Every day , there 's some historical event going on . We have to focus on that . And if we get caught up in the court intrigue , and that 's what the media wants . The media wants a horse race . They want court intrigue inside the White House between Marco and JD . It 's not relevant . It 's irrelevant . What 's relevant ... Trump wanted that , though . I mean , that was my point . So , sorry , I 've been stealing time . First of all here and then there and then Dimitri , yes . 1 , 2 , 3 . Steve , can you preview ... hello . Can you preview what 's going to happen locally in DC if the Bowser Act passes and home rule goes away ? Do you have any knowledge on that ? Well , as a resident of DC , how could it get any worse under home rule ? I mean , home rule has been a disaster , I think . That 's why I wanted Ed Martin to be DC attorney . And those people who did n't like Ed Martin , Judge Jeanine will be 10 times a bigger hammer . But they already took down the crime , I think , 20 to 25 per cent . This is one of the most beautiful cities in the world . It ought to be one of the safest cities in the world , and it 's a very unsafe city . I live right in back of the Supreme Court on Capitol Hill , and it 's very unsafe there . And so we have to do something . And I think it 's got to be pretty dramatic . Second , then third , so the gentleman there and then and then Dimitri . Hi , Steve . I 'm James Ladi Williams . Would you say the American people have a common narrative or perception of how well the country is doing or not doing ? And secondly , would it be advantageous to the president 's success in leading the nation for the people to have a shared narrative on how well the country is doing or not ? And finally , what is the role of the media in driving to that shared narrative , if it is indeed advantageous or desired ? I think the shared narrative , if you look at working-class people , there 's 9mn people that are working two jobs . There 's $1.4tn of credit card debt . 10per cent of that 's nonperforming . The life of the working class of people that get up every day - Black , Hispanic , white , Asian - and go to work is terrible in this country . They can barely make it . They 're falling behind every day . This is why ... they do n't want to be on Medicaid . The reason Maga is on Medicaid is because the jobs ... we shipped all the high-value-added manufacturing jobs , Wall Street did , and the private equity firms did , overseas so that they can make Lao Beijing slave labour . So there 's a common narrative , and the media does n't go look for it . And this is why Trump keeps coming up as a surprise . Why does Trump keep winning ? Why does Trump have increasing support among particularly Black men ? Why does Trump have support of Hispanics ? Starr County in Texas is 97 per cent Hispanic down the Rio Grande Valley . It 's the most hardscrabble county in this country . We lost it by 60 points in 2016 . We won it by 16 points in 2024 . The Hispanic community is coming our way . The Black community is coming our way . That 's the common narrative . It 's right there . If the credentialed class of the Democratic party gave a shit , they just went out and just saw what they saw , they would understand what the common narrative of this is , that the working class and middle class in this country are getting screwed by the elites in this nation . Yeah ? Steve , Dimitri from the FT . How do you defend to the Maga camp that you are a fan of the newspaper that 's loved by the credentials class in America ? That 's my simple question . My other question is , in the last few decades , one of the most conservative justices in the Supreme Court , Scalia , he and Ginsburg did n't agree on very much . They both agreed that people in the United States , whether they are citizens or an Irishman like me , are afforded the same rights under the Constitution . Why was Scalia wrong ? I do n't think foreigners are accorded the rights , but I 'm not a Constitutional ... They are . It 's my ... well , it 's my own personal belief . But I think that 'll also be tried again with ... the same with the 14th Amendment . Your first question , I teach this . How is War Room so powerful ? To a blue-collar and working-class audience , we teach this newspaper every day . We pull Ed 's clips on Morning Joe . And it 's interesting . The only time you see The Financial Times , the only time you see people really talking about issues on MSNBC , either Morning Joe or Stephanie Ruhle early in the morning or late at night ... the whole rest of it is nothing but pro wrestling , totally irrelevant . That 's why the Democratic party is not going to change . It 's just grievance , and Trump , they 're blowing their heads up . This paper ... you guys are globalists . I understand that . I do n't fault you with that . The best way to teach a working-class audience how the nation really works ... not what they see on Fox , all that phony crap on Fox ... is to show them how money and power work , to show them what capital markets are , why the 10-year bond is so important , why Liz Truss got turfed out by the bond market , why we as Americans are now going to have our own moment with the bond market because when this comes this August with the debt ceiling , do n't think we have unlimited alternatives . We as Americans , because we either kick the can down the road or let the elites in the country make decisions , we are every day having narrower and narrower alternatives . This is why now we have to go into discretionary spending . That 's going to hurt . And guess what ? That 's just the first level . It 's going to hurt a lot more . So the FT ... and also , when I taught my class in prison , I used the FT . All right . Sorry . I did n't see hands . No , I ca n't believe there are no questions . I can see a hand there . Sorry , it 's a bit bright . Thank you , Steve . Can you speak to deregulation and AI and the effects on the electorate and how the administration may reconcile that tension between achieving that and helping American workers ? It is the most serious thing , I think , we have . And I do respect the Pope yesterday when he said he took Leo XIV because Leo XIII was about social justice and the Industrial Revolution , and he wanted to be that about artificial intelligence . Right now , a nail salon in Washington , DC , has more regulations than these four guys running wild on artificial intelligence right now . We have no earthly idea what 's going on . Remember , the Democratic party made a deal with those oligarchs when Obama ran that they would have no antitrust - Facebook , Google , Twitter , all of it , all the big five . And what happens ? The Chinese come out with TikTok and showing the social media side that we 're years behind . We 're like Model T cars compared to their addictive social media . And then DeepSeek comes out , whether it 's a Chinese psyop or real , and shows us that our method of artificial intelligence is not the best . And what did the oligarchs ask for right away ? They asked for a bailout . They want $500bn and they want us to turn the national weapons labs over to them . These people 's greed and avarice know no bounds . And they are working on things right now that we will not be able to control . I call for ... I think we ought to have tremendous regulations on artificial intelligence , and I do n't want to hear the Chinese are so far ahead . OK ? That 's an excuse . We can work this out . And if we have to , you 're going to get to a time that you 're going to have military intervention on these data centres to take care of out-of-control artificial intelligence going down the path we 're going , which is quite dangerous . So I think time for one - depending on the length of your answer , maybe two more questions , but certainly one . Sorry , I ca n't really see . We have n't had a woman asking a question . Yeah . Hi , Steve . Thank you . I have a question about jobs . So you said that you 'd like to bring good jobs back to America . So two-part question : first is , if you deport all the illegal immigrants , who is going to mow your lawn , clean the kitchens , pick fruit , and all that ? These are not very good jobs . So who 's going to do them ? And then the second question is about good jobs . So the good jobs are for lower-class is building iPhones and for middle class is tech jobs . And a lot of people have said that there are not enough skilled people here in this country to do these jobs . Tech companies are not stupid . They hire H-1B people because they 're skilled . They have the skills . There are not enough ... No , no , stop , please stop . That is not true . That is not true . This is the false narrative they put out . I have asked for the millions of H-1B people that are here , I have said , show me one - not two lor three . Show me one that has a higher education level or a better job training for the bill that they 're in than an American citizen . This is a total scam . And your question , quite frankly , is this is all the Wall Street . Oh , no , the American people are too lazy . They 're too uneducated . You know what ? The American people have freed more people and built more wealth than any other nation on this Earth . And if I got to bet , I 'm going to bet on them . And we 're going to win this bet . So , yes , the people here , you have indentured servants that came into the country illegally that are going to cut your grass for less money than you pay an American and that 's appropriate ? It 's not appropriate . You do n't have a country like that . But it 's not a good job . We 've destroyed the working class and middle class . Mowing a lawn is not a great job for anyone for any money . I started mowing lawns . This is how people start . And if , at some point in time , you need worker visas , whatever , you can work that out after you 've taken care of the problem . Let 's see if that 's a problem . Let 's see where these labour shortages are . And right now , you ca n't tell me there 's not enough qualified American kids coming out of engineering schools that could fill every job in Silicon Valley . The reason is they 're paying them 50 per cnet less . And the lifestyle they 're working , it 's like slave labour . It 's not right . It 's indentured servitude . It should never go on in our country . And we 're not going to show the working class in this country ... and particularly we 're not going to show African-Americans and Hispanics that you actually have a way in a modern industrial society until we make these changes . And , yes , they 're going to be hard . I 'm not sitting here saying it 's going to be easy . But we 're America . This is what we do . We 're not going to just sit there and go , OK , let 's have the whole world here because Americans are too dumb and lazy to take these jobs . Sorry , I ca n't really see anybody . Am I supposed to end now ? It 's been at 0 for a while . So we could end on lawn mowing if ... Is anybody ... Ed , over here . All right . Oh , Mark . Sorry , all right . Mark Blyth . Steve , long-time listener , first-time caller . I agree with so much of what you say is your diagnosis . But then we break , there are certain bits where I just ca n't take it . And one part of this , to follow up on what was just said , I absolutely agree . We should n't be celebrating people mowing a lawn for $2 . It 's ridiculous , right ? But there is such a thing as demography . We did n't have enough kids . The population is getting older . Look at the average age of this room . Right ? Hang on . No , seriously , Steve , Steve . Why do we have ... we do n't have family ... Immigration is ... People under 35 ... Wait , let him finish . No , hang on , hang on , hang on . Steve , no , come on , let me finish . Immigration is part of the human experience . I am a Scot who lives in America . I 'm a naturalised citizen . I love this country . Do you want to deny that to everyone ? What is going on here ? Of course I do n't want to deny it to everyone . But we got to get our own house in order first . Let 's talk about demographics . Why are we having fewer kids ? Because the economic formation of people comes later . Young men do n't have great jobs right now in this country . Young women , there 's not ... my dad was a foreman for the phone company . We had five kids that went to Catholic school and a mum who was a homemaker who raised us . That 's the country we got to get back to , and that 's the country we can get back to . I did n't say that you had ... come on . I did n't say that the wife had to be the homemaker . You can make a pick . This is why you 're not serious . This is why you 're not serious . We have a demographic problem in the country because of an economic problem that underlays it . You 've got to solve that economic problem . Kids under 40 today , they 're nothing more than Russian serfs . They do n't own anything , and they 're not going to own anything . And we have n't done this for 14 generations to leave it like that . That has to be changed . We have to change that . And , yes , the people that want to come over here and immigrate , there 's a system for that . And we 're not going to shut that down . I think we have to shut down the scams of these visas right now to give priority to American citizens . And , yes , we can get back to a situation where you have one provider , whether it 's the husband or the wife , the other is at home , and you can raise kids like we used to raise kids in this country with hands on from their parents . And that 's where we 're going to turn this country around . And if you 're going to laugh and mock at that , fine . Laugh and mock at it . But that 's what we 're working on , the family as the unit . Steve , I mean , first of all , let me just say , I have to end it because it 's now sub-subzero . And they 've had enough , you can tell ? I have to say ... no , no , I think it 's been very engaging . And I will say one thing . I mean , you engage with this , and I can think of people who manage institutions not very far from here who are not very engaging on your side of the political spectrum . And so thank you for being here and engaging with us. |

Steve Bannon , architect of US president Donald Trump 's America First movement , spoke to Edward Luce , US national editor , at the FTWeekend festival in Washington DC . The populist nationalist shared his views on everything from AI and alleging the election of American pope Leo XIV was ' rigged ' to declaring the US would be unable to continue financing its deficits without tax rises for wealthy Americans and big cuts to the ' deep state ' . Condemning foreign strongmen , he predicted Trump would serve a third term with the help of constitutional ' workarounds ' . And I said to somebody earlier , you 're the only person I remember , at least , being photographed going into jail with an FT . That was prison . Prison . Yes . No , I appreciate the distinction . And did prison radicalise you , or were you already radicalised ? I was radicalised , but it opened my eyes to a lot , to a lot . These prisons are very dangerous , extremely dangerous for the non-violent young drug offenders put in there for 10 , 15 , 20 , 25 years . Danbury is a very small place when you have to live the next 20 years of your life in a prison that 's 100 years old that 's supposed to have 800 inmates ; it has 1,200 because of the overcrowding because of so many foreign nationals . It 's very dangerous . And the prisons have to be reformed . I 'm working with Jared and Peter Navarro to get the BOP candidates in and start to do some serious prison reform . And Jared , and I know , actually , this is a rare cross-party issue . Jared has n't had jail experience , but you and Navarro ... Well , his father went to prison . Jared 's in back of the First Step Act . First Step Act is revolutionary . It has n't been implemented . The thing I found shocking , it has n't been implemented . I do n't to say it 's because it was Trump 's bill . I think a lot of it was incompetence or just lethargy . But the First Step Act could cut inmates ' , non-violent criminals ' time in half , and it has n't been implemented . So Jared is really the author of that . He did a brilliant job . I was n't that into it when he first did it . I got into it late to help get it passed because of the politics . But it 's brilliant and we 're trying to do so much more . The prisons are a disgrace in this country , absolute disgrace . I think a lot of people would agree with you . I want to get into the meat of what Maga is and what the real end game is , beyond the trolling , if there is a beyond the trolling , I mean , which is sort of my suspicion and you can allay it if you like . But let me start with current affairs , which is the Cardinal Prevost , who is now , of course , Leo XIV . You said a couple of weeks ago - or , no , 10 days ago , whenever it was , that he was the dark horse candidate . And then he became Pope . So you you 've got a pretty good predictive record . I mean , I have to say I find there is a sort of Trump reaction going on around the world . And I see it as Canada , Australia , the Vatican . And you 've described him as a basic , I think a cultural Marxist . Can you ... Well , from Bergoglio . Remember , Bergoglio was anti-Trump from the beginning in the ' 16 campaign . When he did the mass down on the border , he criticised our building the wall , at that time , candidate Trump . And I recommended he come back strong on that . And Bergoglio the entire time has been virulently anti-Trump . But it 's not just being anti-Maga , anti-Trump . That 's the politics of it . And Prevost is a continuation . But it is , for the traditional Catholics in the crowd , the Latin Mass Catholics , the pre-Vatican II Catholics , we 're close to a schism in the church between Bergoglio and this kind of radical way he 's taking it . And Prevost , what my research found , and we have lots of contacts in the Curia . We have lots of contacts in the Vatican . I 've spent a lot of time in Italy . We had a monastery that we actually owned before the government took it away from us to be kind of a counter to what was going on in the Vatican . So we have a broad network of the traditionalists . And Prevost , and I 'm saying this . The conclave for the Pope was more rigged than the 2020 election . Now , why do I say ... let me back it up with some facts . On Piers Morgan 's show 10 days before the conclave started , I called it . I said , Prevost is the dark horse . He was n't in any betting pool , If you look at Italian TV , nowhere . The reason is is not only is the ... he 's only been a cardinal less than two years . He was the perfect acolyte for Bergoglio to continue his thing , and the front page of The New York Times says that today , if you read the whole huge front-page story . More importantly , because of our efforts and other ... because the traditional church in America is on fire with vocations and young people and vibrancy and urgency , that we help cut off the money going to the Vatican . And so the Vatican . The Wall Street Journal had a huge article this week that showed the Vatican has tons of assets , but they 're illiquid . They need the American cash . They would never put a traditional American in that role because they think the American church has too much power . Prevost is going to be the contact for the big American donors . There was a joke at the time , a couple of days ago when he got made Pope that Mayor Daley had rigged another election , the Chicago cardinal . But , I mean ... His brother did say ... You 're underestimating the reaction against Trump here and the influence of Pope Francis on having appointed two-thirds , three-quarters of the cardinals , whatever . That 's true , but he was .. it is . And he worked in the dicastery for the archbishops . However , he was virtually totally unknown . The American cardinals came out today and said , he 's the least American of the cardinals , and we do n't really know him . This was a true dark horse . And it only took three ballots , folks . It took one day . They had one vote late in the afternoon . Next day , they came back . It is impossible ... The Daily Mail reports he talked to his brother two days before the conclave , and they were talking about picking Leo , he wanted to pick Leo , but he thought it might be the 13th , and then he figured out it was the 14th . How would you talk to your brother about that ? This was totally rigged by the Curia to be both anti-Trump and to drive ... we 're going to have a schism in the church because the traditional Catholics are not going to go along with the continuation of Bergoglio . So let 's park the pope for a moment . I want to get ... No , no , I asked you about the Pope , just to be clear . I told you not to go there . Let 's start with taxes . I 'm not yet regretting having gone there , but let 's park him . I want to get into ... I think it 's fair to say that you are the best explainer of Maga , particularly to audiences like this . And you read the FT for a reason , and that you present a theory of the case . And I was trying to think ... you were a strategist during the 2016 election and then in the White House in Trump 's first term . And you have been the chief explainer of Maga to many , many audiences . Who is the equivalent of you ? And the answer I came up with , from past eras of figures who are n't necessarily elected but have a sort of command over shaping the zeitgeist , was Grover Norquist . And Grover Norquist had a huge influence , very different , but a huge influence over Republicans in Washington by getting them to sign the anti-tax pledge , which was binding and sort of militantly enforced . And he really shaped the Republican Party into being purely a party of tax cuts . You 're quite different . But I want you to explain first , before I follow up , why you 're different . I mean , you do n't believe in tax cuts , right ? I believe in massive tax cuts for the middle class and the working class , and permanent . I believe if we ca n't cut federal spending , that the wealthy in this country , at least the millionaires , ought to be at 40 per cent as a start . The country 's in a financial crisis . We 've had the greatest concentration of wealth under President Obama because of the bailouts in 2008 , how they were done . And now , because of Covid , we have a tremendous concentration of wealth in this country , such that we have a capitalist system with very few capitalists . I think 75 per cent of the people do n't own any real assets or financial assets . So we have to have fundamental change in this country . Part of that has to come from the tax structure , I think you see from Grover Norquist , they 're playing from a playbook . We 've changed the electorate in the Republican party . We are a working-class and middle-class party . And the reason is the Democrats , the credentialed class completely abandoned the Democratic party . I come from a Democratic family . We were Irish people - firemen , phone workers , cops , that type of thing , union people . And the Democratic party abandoned us . And that 's why 100 and some days into this , there 's no real theory of the case on the Democratic side . Bob Reich , the labour secretary , wrote this brilliant piece in The Guardian the other day calling for a left-wing populism . But there 's no left-wing populism until you start talking about economic issues . You can watch MSNBC or these things all night long , and you never see - Ro Khanna is never on . Fetterman , they 're trying to run out of the party . Sherrod Brown 's defeated . They never talk about the core issues of economics that are important to the American people . And we 're going to get into that . Quickly , how often do you talk to President Trump ? I think if you watch the show c- we 're four hours a day - he gets clips every day . And I think you can see that a lot of the Truth Socials or things come out of some of the stuff we say , but it 's frequently enough . Frequently enough . But listen , he 's got the weight of the world on his shoulders . The last thing he needs is a Steve Bannon calling him up all the time , hey , here are my thoughts . My thoughts are out . My thoughts are on that show every day . The reason the show is so powerful - it 's a working-class audience and a middle-class audience who are activists . It 's all about using your human agency . No , I get that . We 'll get to that . And so by doing that ... Is it once a week , once a day ? ... he sees it . Is it sort of daily , weekly ? No , no , no , I do n't talk to him once a day . No . He 's got the weight of the world on his shoulders . What does he Bannon bugging him for on some ... The reason I ask in this context is there 's a budget before the House . And that budget says we will pay for the tax cuts with cuts to Medicaid , essentially $880bn , whatever it is , to the middle class . Well , hold it . He 's not on the ... And Trump is clearly conflicted on this . He 's got Elon Musk on this shoulder and Steve Bannon on this . Right . Or maybe it 's Tucker Carlson . I do n't know . But he has different ... Well , Tucker not on the economics . He has different perspectives on the economics . On both Medicaid and the tax cuts , he watches the show . He knows where I stand . We send the staff a lot of information . And the Jason Millers in the world that are not in - remember , there are many prominent people that give advice to President Trump - Boris Epshteyn , Jason Miller - who are not in the administration . Scott Bessent was a contributor on our show . Navarro was a co-host . Russ Vought was a contributor . So it 's not that we lack for these things . And President Trump , I think that shows you the difference . The Republican party that you talk about with Grover Norquist is dead . The electorate has totally changed . We have n't changed the apparatus on Capitol Hill . That 's why we still have these fights . They want to cut $880bn out of Medicaid . And you ca n't do it , because Maga is on Medicaid because there 's not great jobs in this country . OK , so let 's say that it happens . Let 's typify it as the Grover Norquist bill because that is a Grover Norquist bill . I 'd rather say I was Mark Rylance in Cromwell in Wolf Hall than Grover Norquist . It 's certainly more gripping to ... no , no , it 's not . This is gripping to watch . And right now , it looks like Grover Norquist 's bill is going to be passed , in some form . I totally disagree with that . OK . First off , Grover Norquist does n't want no tax on tips , no tax on Social Security , no tax on overtime . He 's a protector of what the Republican party was . And still part of it is a big donor party . It 's one of the problems with the Democrats . The big donors run the Democratic party also . Everything you see on MSNBC and Fox is all pro wrestling . It 's not the heart of it . The heart of it is money and power . And that 's what we 're trying to do . And we 're trying to do this by breaking the Grover Norquist mentality on Capitol Hill . And it is a struggle . But I think if you see this bill right now , that 's why they did n't ... they have n't put out whether the upper brackets are going to be permanent . There 's all types of moving pieces on this . And the date you have to look at is the debt ceiling in August . This is going to be fought and negotiated , marked up , debated intensely over the next couple of months . Now , I take it you would support a tax increase on the very wealthy . Oh , definitely . A serious one or a symbolic one ? No , seriously . The math does n't work unless you do that . For the upper bracket - I think the entire upper bracket , but I would go to a million dollars and above - have to pay 40 per cent . And they definitely do n't get a tax cut permanently . And if they ca n't help on cutting the spending , which they 're one of the drivers of , eventually taxes may have to go up from that . But the system we have is unsustainable . You ca n't have $2tn deficits annually and continue to try to finance those . We 're the world 's reserve currency now , but the Brics nations and the rest of the world are getting smart to the scheme . The reason I 'm sort of pressing you on this is because you are really ... I agree with your diagnosis of what 's happened to the middle class in the last 40 years or so . They have been squeezed , and there has been a rising inequality . And there has been populist resentment . Some of it comes from that , not all of it . And we can get on to the other bits , but some of it comes from that . And so you identify inequality as an issue . But the simple way of looking at this thing is if you want to redress inequality , you 're going to have to reduce freedom . Freedom and equality are a zero-sum game . Yet your ... Freedom for the billionaires ? Is that my trade-off ? Oh , well , that might be , but that 's rhetorical . Let me finish my ... I 'll hit the bit on that . OK . But the freedom and equality thing is generally seen as a trade-off . And yet your solution to the , I think , correctly diagnosed , for what it 's worth , middle-class problem is for more freedom . It 's the deconstruction of the administrative state , which makes life easier for billionaires . There 's a real tension there . Yes , but look , OK , but hang on . Let 's be specific . Right now , and this is what populist nationalism is doing . Right now , in this city , we have the oligarchs up against the wall . We have Google ... this is the FTC under President Trump , Ferguson , Gail Slater and the team over at the Antitrust Division at DOJ at Main Justice , the FCC . And , hey , we 're all advocates of Lina Khan , who was one of the best chairmen the FTC ever had and hung out to dry by the Democratic party because they 're owned by the oligarchs . We 're breaking up Google . We have the search engine in one court in Northern Virginia , and we have the ad sales apparatus in the other . Facebook , he went and begged Trump in the Oval Office multiple times , do n't send me to trial . He 's in trial right now . Are you sure this is n't a shakedown and that , at some point , Google , Mark Zuckerberg , and Sundar Pichai will be able to call off these antitrust actions by going to Trump and saying , we 'll give you a billion dollars of free legal advice ... President Trump , by selecting this team - this team , we are neo-Brandeisians like Lina Khan . This is the most aggressive antitrust apparatus we 've ever had . This goes back to Teddy Roosevelt or to FDR . You 're confident that this is actually ... Here 's where I 'm confident . I 'm confident that they all came and begged for mercy . They all came to beg for mercy . And they 're all in federal court getting broken up right now . Now , people know this . The city is run by big pharma , big tech , and the big defence industry . Let 's not kid ourselves . Let 's have an adult conversation . They own it . They own the law firms . They 're partners with the private equity firms . They own all the lobbyists . They own the media , except for The Financial Times and a few brave others . No . But you know this . And so , yes , it 's an uphill struggle . And I think President Trump 's been particularly heroic in this and has n't gotten any credit . But , look , every day in the Oval Office is a pressure cooker where they 're coming at him from every different angle . And the broligarchs - Elon Musk wrote a big cheque to back a ground game that without that cheque we would have won , but it would have been a much tougher tractor pull . And I do n't think we would have heard about it at 10 o'clock at night on the 5th . OK . So they get some runway . But Trump is crushing the oligarchs right now . I 'm very proud of the fact that I 'm the only person , except some folks on the left , that stood up to him because of the H1-B visas . That 's where it started , which is a total scam to do nothing but take jobs away . This is why we have no minorities , no Blacks and Hispanics in Silicon Valley , because the H-1B visas were bringing indentured servants over here from other countries who should n't be . It 's outrageous we 're doing that . But that was just one . Elon Musk and I had many , many fights . But Elon Musk is gone , right ? Elon Musk is gone , and I 'm still here . You are . I will concede that point . And you also called him a racist and said he should go back to South Africa . And what we are seeing , though , on the other side of the ledger , is that the only refugees being admitted to this country are Afrikaners , Boers or whatever . I disagree with that totally . It does look ... I understand that there is a sort of fortress America element to Maga . But do you see how the rest of the world sees this ? Look , I do n't agree with everything . You 're not going to agree with everything . There 's so many huge things going on . And President Trump , on so many different levels , is delivering so far beyond , whether it 's national security strategy , America-first economics or the deportations , the sealing of the border in 60 days , when people told us it 's going to take 10 years and 2 million more invaders . He 's doing so much . Some of the stuff I do n't agree with . I think a lot of that 's on the margin . I 'm a believer that right now , to protect the African-American and Hispanic community in this country , working-class and middle-class people , that we ought to cease , at least temporarily , all visas into the country - all . I do n't care if you 're from Norway , South Africa , or wherever , just so we can ... All work visas . No work visas . When President Trump said he wanted to put a green card , staple it to every college degree , I said , look , I love the president . I know he wants to make this the best and the brightest . I would staple an exit visa that gives them 30 days to go back home . American kids in this country under 30 ca n't get jobs they can buy houses on . The only way you 're going to do that is stop having the world come to their country and compete against them . And so I 'm a hardcore , we have to stop it temporarily . Get all the scams out of these visa programmes , because they 're riddled with scams by the corporations . We have to make them for the American citizen first and the country first and then open it back up . So has DOGE been a failure ? DOGE was not ... look , I was deconstructing the administrative state and destroying the deep state . What DOGE did , I think you did have to give kind of a trauma blow to the administrative state to get their attention . What I did n't like about DOGE and I said it from day one . It 's getting the people on Capitol Hill off the hook on the smart cuts we have to make to federal spending - we spend about $1.7tn trillion discretionary - before you get to the entitlements , because you 're never going to get to the entitlements . The American people will never trust you until they see what you can do on discretionary . And discretionary has to start in the Pentagon . We ca n't afford and we do n't need a $1tn defence budget . But you have to do it smartly . Look at all the Congressmen were running around like little kids thinking he 's some fairy godmother that 's going to give them $1tn in fraud . That 's not going to happen . There is fraud in the system . There 's plenty of fraud over in the Pentagon , of which they did n't ... or at least they did n't expose any . So it gave people off the hook . So now we 're in May with a debt ceiling that 's going to come due - and Scott Bessent is as smart as you get - with a debt ceiling that 's going to come due in August . And if you look at these cuts , it 's kind of ephemeral . It 's $163bn , but they did n't touch defence . You do n't know if they 're really real cuts . We 've wasted , in that regard , I think , three or four valuable months because DOGE did n't deliver . And if they have , I would love to do it . I keep asking Russ Vought every couple of days , have we codified the waste , fraud , and abuse that was supposed to be seen by DOGE ? I saw it yesterday on the Hill , I think the Senate voted against some bill to actually codify the DOGE cuts in one department . So , no , I think , overall , what it 's done is OK , but it 's been like an IT department . So one of your most-quoted comments is ' deconstruction of the administrative state ' . Yeah . You want to cut the fiscal deficit , right ? I mean , you 've just been outlining what ... It 's 6.5 per cent of GDP right now . We have to get down to 3 per cent 3.5 per cent . Is the IRS part of the administrative state ? Yes . So how are you going to cut the deficit if you 're not collecting taxes ? Well , I did n't say ... listen , it 's , do you cut blindly ? No . The administrative state has become a fourth branch of government that 's not elected . Whether AOC - and I saw it up close and personal in the White House - whether AOC is president or Donald Trump is president , the administrative state and the deep state run this town . You 're just passing through . That 's what we have to break up , this fourth branch of government that was never conceived in the Constitution . This is where I 'm confused , though . OK . I mean , is the DOJ and the FTC that are prosecuting Google , are they the deep state ? No , the deep state is the , no . That 's the administrative state . And we fought ... Or the administrative , sorry . But the administrative state is the bureaucracy in the administrative state that runs things . The deep state is the kind of rogue Praetorian Guard of certain elements - the Defence Department , intelligence , FBI , DOJ - that run the deal and have to be rooted out , root and branch . The administrative state , we fought the other day on the show . We lit up Jordan 's office when it came that they wanted to do away with the FTC . They magically wanted to do away with the FTC and make one agency as a cost cutting just when FTC 's got Zuckerberg in court . And we came on and said , no , you ca n't do it . And they backed off the other day . I 'm not an anarchist . And we 're not libertarians . We do n't say you ca n't have any state . What you ca n't have is an administrative state that has a $7tn budget that is out of control . You have to deconstruct that . You have to get down to the limited government . Conservatives have talked about it forever . We 're actually doing it now . And you can do it . And you can keep an FTC . You can keep an FCC . You can keep a DOJ , FBI . Quite frankly , I think the FBI should be eliminated . And Kash Patel is a very close friend of mine , and Kash Patel clearly has other ideas because he went to Congress yesterday and asked for a billion dollars more than President Trump put in the budget . So , no , there are aspects of this that have to be taken apart . There are other aspects that have to be streamlined for more efficiency , more effectiveness . But we 're not anarchists . We do n't want to get - we do n't want to do away with all of the state . So I 'm aware of the time . I 've got tons of questions , but I 'm aware it would be selfish to take up all the remaining time . And so there will be some left for the audience . The other phrase that you 're most quoted as having said is ' flooding the zone with shit ' . Now , flooding the zone with shit implies some of the stuff you 're flooding is n't shit , right ? So I promised I 'd get back to the Pope . Clearly ... Clearly , Trump , picturing himself , sending out a picture , a meme of him as the Pope , that 's shit , right ? And we all get outraged , and our outrage is part of the pleasure of politics . It 's two or three ... ... or Maga . In the first term , because we came from behind , We had no team , no organisation . There was no bench . And I said at the time to PBS , we were trying to put up two or three things a day so the media jumps on one , and the other two - they 're not trolling . We get ... now , this is why it was so ... Well , that was trolling , though . What do you mean ? And then it worked , right ? I mean , I 'd like to be Pope . I 'd be a great Pope . Elect me Pope . Clearly , the reaction was outrage , and it 's quite amusing . Even I was amused . But that 's how the left ... the left kills themself because they jump all over this and they have So that 's trolling . That 's trolling . Right . But then some of the stuff is n't shit . No , no , no . Some of the stuff is real . Do you know instinctively when Trump ... however often you talk to him , do you know instinctively which is shit and which is not shit ? No , because you can see - this is Project 2025 , the phrase that shall not be used , right ? This is why the providential win in ' 16 , the steal in ' 20 was actually just as providential from our perspective . We could see just how radical this government would be . Remember , all of us in Trump 's inner circle and Trump himself - debanked , deplatformed , IRS audits , eventually prison . They tried to send Trump to prison for 700 years . But in doing this in the coming back , as Trump did , and understanding what they 're going to do , a political strategy was the precinct strategy to get people active , to use your agency to go take over every precinct , to take over the Republican Party , and build a real base of Maga for Trump . The other was these public intellectuals - Stephen Miller at America First Law , America First Policy Institute with Brooke Rollins , Russ Vought at CRA , DeMint and Meadows over at CPI . And the kind of overarching was the Heritage , Dr Roberts and Project ' 25 . That was to take every vertical that we had to hit the deck plates , and we had not done it in the first term . And actually , when you hit , this time , instead of two or three things , you 're going to have five executive orders . You 're going to have five executive actions . You 're going to have actual things that you 're going to flood the zone and so overwhelm the opposition they ca n't cope . And that is what the first 100 days , I think , has shown you . There 's been some trolling ... But you can decode what Trump really means from what - I mean , presumably , trade wars are easy to win . That 's something he 's believed for many decades , or that at least trade wars are worth fighting . The trade deficits are a measure of how much we 're being ripped off . That 's not flooding the zone with shit , right ? That is something that he actually believes , whereas ... Yes , we believe that to the core of our being . Our movement believes that . And so can you tell - because there 's stuff in between - can you tell , I do n't know , when he says Abrego Garcia has MS-13 on his knuckles - I mean , we know that 's photoshopped , right ? But hang on . But when you 've got ... he 's a Maryland man , and you know that he worked for a human trafficker in Houston . He was picked up in his car in Tennessee . We have police reports about that . And the media is going to sit there like he 's some innocent victim ? Stop it . This guy 's a hardened criminal , and he 's leaving the country . And if the Democratic party wants to argue about a guy like that coming back from El Salvador from a prison , go ahead and argue it . It 's a 90/10 issue . And this shows me how out of touch the Democratic party is because that issue is about protecting Hispanics and African-American working class in this country . You might be right about him . I do n't know . But I think that the argument is also , does he get due process ? That 's the real argument . But the MS- Hold it . You do n't get ... The MS-13 There is no due process . ... was photoshopped . If you 're not an American citizen , you 're here illegally , there 's no due process . And I 'm telling you , this is coming to a head because President Trump , we started it on the show , and this is how it picks up momentum . We are going to suspend the writ of habeas corpus if the courts keep ruling against this and do n't allow these mass deportations to continue , just like President Lincoln . This was an invasion . The country is at war . He 's commander-in-chief . It 's Article II power . And this is going to come ... Are you predicting that will happen or are you ... I 'm predicting ... ... arguing it should happen ? First off , there is going to be a Constitutional crisis before the court leaves . You just saw the federal judge in San Francisco last night ruled against him , his Article II power to basically rearrange and fire people in these agencies , et cetera . There 's a challenge - the only way the Democrats are even winning right now is to delay , is to deny , is to delay . They have no political operation . They have no counterargument . They have no populist economics . So what they 're doing is getting more and more radical on these raids , like they did in New Jersey yesterday . And the judges are trying to stop him . The Supreme Court 's going to have to make a decision about President Trump 's Article II powers , and we 're going to see it . And I believe , if the courts keep trying to slow him down , you 're going to see him , as Stephen Miller laid out pretty well yesterday , and it 'll be , I 'm sure , developed over time , suspension of the writ of habeas corpus , just like President Lincoln did in the Civil War . But if ... and I 'm asking for a prediction . If the Supreme Court votes the wrong way from your point of view , do you predict that Trump will ignore it ? I think we 'll have to wait till that time . That 's what I 'm saying . What 's your instinct ? First , I do n't think we 'll lose . We 'll win at least 5-4 , probably more . But I do n't want to handcuff President Trump on what he 's going to do and what his possibilities are . He 's the commander-in-chief . We have been invaded . This is the easy part too . These are the criminals and the terrorists . We have 10mn more people that have to leave the country or we do n't have a country . We have to do it humanely . We have to do it with Judeo-Christian values . But they have to go . And this is what the Democrats know , by jamming us up in court right now and making this so painful , how tough it 's going to be . But before the Supreme Court leaves for their summer break , there 's going to be a Constitutional crisis . We have , like , a four-minute rapid-fire round before I 'll open it to the audience . Will Trump run for a third term ? Yes . So ... And he 'll win the third term , and he 'll be the president ... What does the court think about that ? I mean ... We 'll have to see at the time . OK . I mean , the 22nd Amendment is pretty clear on this , right ? It 's pretty clear what his Article II power is , and I think we have 250 lawsuits in federal court right now . So when people tell me that it 's pretty clear , it 's pretty clear what the president 's power is . It 's pretty clear what his power is to basically reprogramme And he had a federal judge yesterday said , gave a temporary restraining order for the entire nation on 21 different agencies . So when I hear that argument , I say , hey , the Constitution is clear on a lot of things until it 's defined . President Trump will run again . He will run again , and he will win again . And he 'll be the president on the afternoon of 20 January 2029 . I did n't say we were going to break ... I never said we were going to break the 22nd Amendment . There are multiple workarounds . You mean running as running mate ... There 's ... ... to JD Vance . Multiple ... at the appropriate time , probably after the ' 22 midterms , I will lay out the case of the ... President Trump has nothing to do with this . He 's already said , hey , look , I want to be here four years and do a great job . And you can tell ... the pressure on him every day . He 's leaving for Saudi Arabia , what , tomorrow . The pressure on him every day ... this is something that we 're totally doing on the outside , but it 's a very serious effort . And the reason it 's a serious effort ... a guy like Trump comes along once in a country 's history . We 've had General Washington at the birth of the country . We 've had Lincoln at the rebirth . We 've had President Trump . This is the age of ... folks , you can it or not like it . Let me give you a fact . You 're living in the age of Trump . This is the age of Trump . He 's totally redefined American politics . He 's totally redefined politics going forward . He 's saved our nation from going down at the hand of these globalists . So let 's get back to rapid-fire . And I was going to move ... the question was going to be , is Vladimir Putin a force for good ? No . He 's a KGB agent , not a force for good . The Russian people ... you saw the ceremony the other day . Russian people were our great ally in World War II . 35 million gave their lives fighting the Nazis , like Lao Beijing , the Chinese , and we abandoned both of them at the end of the war and threw them to the dogs . And then , in ' 89 , with both of those systems ' collapsed , we threw them to the dogs again . Those are our allies . No , Putin is not a good guy . He 's not a force for good in the world . He 's a KGB guy . Was Joseph Stalin a force for good in the world ? Are you asking me ? No , I was saying because we were partnered with Joseph Stalin . He 's right up there with Hitler . OK ? We partnered with very bad people in the past . And what you saw happening in Moscow the last couple of days was Xi and Putin looking like two teenagers on a first date ... is not good for this country . We had every opportunity to try to have a Russian rapprochement and pull Russia out of that relationship with China . And this is going to have now a massive , terrible impact , not just for our current generation , but for future generations . Are you turning a bit on Putin ? No , I 've never been a pro-Putin guy . He 's a KGB ... Do you think Trump is turning a bit on Putin ? I do n't think so . I think , look , he understands these guys are ... the mullahs , Xi , the criminals in Beijing and in Moscow , these are bad hombres . Nobody says they 're good guys . They 're bad hombres . Trump knows that . They did n't cross Trump . They would n't have gone to Ukraine ... they did n't go to Ukraine when Trump was there because they 're not going to cross him . But President Trump 's seeing it right now and trying to get to some solution in Ukraine . He sees exactly how they act . They 're going to do what 's in their interest . And this is going to be a grind . And that 's ... I think President Trump going to the Gulf Emirates this week is a start . They had some sort of involvement in this Kashmir thing . I think what people do n't understand that arc of instability from Ukraine all the way down through Turkey . Arc of instability . That arc of instability is like a tinderbox right now . You 're one misstep away from the whole thing going up . This is the kinetic part of the Third World War . It 's much bloodier- - what 's happened in the last - since Ukraine than what happened from Poland to June of ' 41 with the Wehrmacht going into Russia . It 's much bloody . It 's five times bloodier . We 're in a kinetic part of a global struggle right now . So two very final , I mean , rapid , if possible , more rapid than it 's been . Which Democrat do you most fear ? Right now , none , really , because they have n't embraced economic populism and economic nationalism . There 's a lot of talent over there . It just seems to kind of wander around . You have a lot of governors that could be very competitive , although I think we 're past that era . You 've got , maybe it 's a Mark Cuban . You do n't know how Newsom is going to reposition himself . And we 'll have to see . They have to get an idea of how to turn the country around economically . The final one , then we 'll go to the floor . Yeah . The comment that Trump made the other day with Terry Moran of ABC that , no , he 's not going to run for a third term , he 's not going to take your advice , and it should be Vance or Rubio . That sounded to me like a classic set your underlings against each other . Or , he said , among others . But if you were to choose who would Trump 's successor be , who would that be ? Trump . It 's going to be Trump because , otherwise , you 're going to get around all the court intrigue . We have to focus . We have to ... we need a sense of urgency on what we 're doing . And that , to me , is the best way , is to just focus on it 's going to be Trump . We 'll figure out how we get there . We 're already way down the road on that . Focus on now , between now and the midterms , of everything that has to happen national security-wise , the economy , the deportations . You got so many huge ... think about it . Every day , there 's some historical event going on . We have to focus on that . And if we get caught up in the court intrigue , and that 's what the media wants . The media wants a horse race . They want court intrigue inside the White House between Marco and JD . It 's not relevant . It 's irrelevant . What 's relevant ... Trump wanted that , though . I mean , that was my point . So , sorry , I 've been stealing time . First of all here and then there and then Dimitri , yes . 1 , 2 , 3 . Steve , can you preview ... hello . Can you preview what 's going to happen locally in DC if the Bowser Act passes and home rule goes away ? Do you have any knowledge on that ? Well , as a resident of DC , how could it get any worse under home rule ? I mean , home rule has been a disaster , I think . That 's why I wanted Ed Martin to be DC attorney . And those people who did n't like Ed Martin , Judge Jeanine will be 10 times a bigger hammer . But they already took down the crime , I think , 20 to 25 per cent . This is one of the most beautiful cities in the world . It ought to be one of the safest cities in the world , and it 's a very unsafe city . I live right in back of the Supreme Court on Capitol Hill , and it 's very unsafe there . And so we have to do something . And I think it 's got to be pretty dramatic . Second , then third , so the gentleman there and then and then Dimitri . Hi , Steve . I 'm James Ladi Williams . Would you say the American people have a common narrative or perception of how well the country is doing or not doing ? And secondly , would it be advantageous to the president 's success in leading the nation for the people to have a shared narrative on how well the country is doing or not ? And finally , what is the role of the media in driving to that shared narrative , if it is indeed advantageous or desired ? I think the shared narrative , if you look at working-class people , there 's 9mn people that are working two jobs . There 's $1.4tn of credit card debt . 10per cent of that 's nonperforming . The life of the working class of people that get up every day - Black , Hispanic , white , Asian - and go to work is terrible in this country . They can barely make it . They 're falling behind every day . This is why ... they do n't want to be on Medicaid . The reason Maga is on Medicaid is because the jobs ... we shipped all the high-value-added manufacturing jobs , Wall Street did , and the private equity firms did , overseas so that they can make Lao Beijing slave labour . So there 's a common narrative , and the media does n't go look for it . And this is why Trump keeps coming up as a surprise . Why does Trump keep winning ? Why does Trump have increasing support among particularly Black men ? Why does Trump have support of Hispanics ? Starr County in Texas is 97 per cent Hispanic down the Rio Grande Valley . It 's the most hardscrabble county in this country . We lost it by 60 points in 2016 . We won it by 16 points in 2024 . The Hispanic community is coming our way . The Black community is coming our way . That 's the common narrative . It 's right there . If the credentialed class of the Democratic party gave a shit , they just went out and just saw what they saw , they would understand what the common narrative of this is , that the working class and middle class in this country are getting screwed by the elites in this nation . Yeah ? Steve , Dimitri from the FT . How do you defend to the Maga camp that you are a fan of the newspaper that 's loved by the credentials class in America ? That 's my simple question . My other question is , in the last few decades , one of the most conservative justices in the Supreme Court , Scalia , he and Ginsburg did n't agree on very much . They both agreed that people in the United States , whether they are citizens or an Irishman like me , are afforded the same rights under the Constitution . Why was Scalia wrong ? I do n't think foreigners are accorded the rights , but I 'm not a Constitutional ... They are . It 's my ... well , it 's my own personal belief . But I think that 'll also be tried again with ... the same with the 14th Amendment . Your first question , I teach this . How is War Room so powerful ? To a blue-collar and working-class audience , we teach this newspaper every day . We pull Ed 's clips on Morning Joe . And it 's interesting . The only time you see The Financial Times , the only time you see people really talking about issues on MSNBC , either Morning Joe or Stephanie Ruhle early in the morning or late at night ... the whole rest of it is nothing but pro wrestling , totally irrelevant . That 's why the Democratic party is not going to change . It 's just grievance , and Trump , they 're blowing their heads up . This paper ... you guys are globalists . I understand that . I do n't fault you with that . The best way to teach a working-class audience how the nation really works ... not what they see on Fox , all that phony crap on Fox ... is to show them how money and power work , to show them what capital markets are , why the 10-year bond is so important , why Liz Truss got turfed out by the bond market , why we as Americans are now going to have our own moment with the bond market because when this comes this August with the debt ceiling , do n't think we have unlimited alternatives . We as Americans , because we either kick the can down the road or let the elites in the country make decisions , we are every day having narrower and narrower alternatives . This is why now we have to go into discretionary spending . That 's going to hurt . And guess what ? That 's just the first level . It 's going to hurt a lot more . So the FT ... and also , when I taught my class in prison , I used the FT . All right . Sorry . I did n't see hands . No , I ca n't believe there are no questions . I can see a hand there . Sorry , it 's a bit bright . Thank you , Steve . Can you speak to deregulation and AI and the effects on the electorate and how the administration may reconcile that tension between achieving that and helping American workers ? It is the most serious thing , I think , we have . And I do respect the Pope yesterday when he said he took Leo XIV because Leo XIII was about social justice and the Industrial Revolution , and he wanted to be that about artificial intelligence . Right now , a nail salon in Washington , DC , has more regulations than these four guys running wild on artificial intelligence right now . We have no earthly idea what 's going on . Remember , the Democratic party made a deal with those oligarchs when Obama ran that they would have no antitrust - Facebook , Google , Twitter , all of it , all the big five . And what happens ? The Chinese come out with TikTok and showing the social media side that we 're years behind . We 're like Model T cars compared to their addictive social media . And then DeepSeek comes out , whether it 's a Chinese psyop or real , and shows us that our method of artificial intelligence is not the best . And what did the oligarchs ask for right away ? They asked for a bailout . They want $500bn and they want us to turn the national weapons labs over to them . These people 's greed and avarice know no bounds . And they are working on things right now that we will not be able to control . I call for ... I think we ought to have tremendous regulations on artificial intelligence , and I do n't want to hear the Chinese are so far ahead . OK ? That 's an excuse . We can work this out . And if we have to , you 're going to get to a time that you 're going to have military intervention on these data centres to take care of out-of-control artificial intelligence going down the path we 're going , which is quite dangerous . So I think time for one - depending on the length of your answer , maybe two more questions , but certainly one . Sorry , I ca n't really see . We have n't had a woman asking a question . Yeah . Hi , Steve . Thank you . I have a question about jobs . So you said that you 'd like to bring good jobs back to America . So two-part question : first is , if you deport all the illegal immigrants , who is going to mow your lawn , clean the kitchens , pick fruit , and all that ? These are not very good jobs . So who 's going to do them ? And then the second question is about good jobs . So the good jobs are for lower-class is building iPhones and for middle class is tech jobs . And a lot of people have said that there are not enough skilled people here in this country to do these jobs . Tech companies are not stupid . They hire H-1B people because they 're skilled . They have the skills . There are not enough ... No , no , stop , please stop . That is not true . That is not true . This is the false narrative they put out . I have asked for the millions of H-1B people that are here , I have said , show me one - not two lor three . Show me one that has a higher education level or a better job training for the bill that they 're in than an American citizen . This is a total scam . And your question , quite frankly , is this is all the Wall Street . Oh , no , the American people are too lazy . They 're too uneducated . You know what ? The American people have freed more people and built more wealth than any other nation on this Earth . And if I got to bet , I 'm going to bet on them . And we 're going to win this bet . So , yes , the people here , you have indentured servants that came into the country illegally that are going to cut your grass for less money than you pay an American and that 's appropriate ? It 's not appropriate . You do n't have a country like that . But it 's not a good job . We 've destroyed the working class and middle class . Mowing a lawn is not a great job for anyone for any money . I started mowing lawns . This is how people start . And if , at some point in time , you need worker visas , whatever , you can work that out after you 've taken care of the problem . Let 's see if that 's a problem . Let 's see where these labour shortages are . And right now , you ca n't tell me there 's not enough qualified American kids coming out of engineering schools that could fill every job in Silicon Valley . The reason is they 're paying them 50 per cnet less . And the lifestyle they 're working , it 's like slave labour . It 's not right . It 's indentured servitude . It should never go on in our country . And we 're not going to show the working class in this country ... and particularly we 're not going to show African-Americans and Hispanics that you actually have a way in a modern industrial society until we make these changes . And , yes , they 're going to be hard . I 'm not sitting here saying it 's going to be easy . But we 're America . This is what we do . We 're not going to just sit there and go , OK , let 's have the whole world here because Americans are too dumb and lazy to take these jobs . Sorry , I ca n't really see anybody . Am I supposed to end now ? It 's been at 0 for a while . So we could end on lawn mowing if ... Is anybody ... Ed , over here . All right . Oh , Mark . Sorry , all right . Mark Blyth . Steve , long-time listener , first-time caller . I agree with so much of what you say is your diagnosis . But then we break , there are certain bits where I just ca n't take it . And one part of this , to follow up on what was just said , I absolutely agree . We should n't be celebrating people mowing a lawn for $2 . It 's ridiculous , right ? But there is such a thing as demography . We did n't have enough kids . The population is getting older . Look at the average age of this room . Right ? Hang on . No , seriously , Steve , Steve . Why do we have ... we do n't have family ... Immigration is ... People under 35 ... Wait , let him finish . No , hang on , hang on , hang on . Steve , no , come on , let me finish . Immigration is part of the human experience . I am a Scot who lives in America . I 'm a naturalised citizen . I love this country . Do you want to deny that to everyone ? What is going on here ? Of course I do n't want to deny it to everyone . But we got to get our own house in order first . Let 's talk about demographics . Why are we having fewer kids ? Because the economic formation of people comes later . Young men do n't have great jobs right now in this country . Young women , there 's not ... my dad was a foreman for the phone company . We had five kids that went to Catholic school and a mum who was a homemaker who raised us . That 's the country we got to get back to , and that 's the country we can get back to . I did n't say that you had ... come on . I did n't say that the wife had to be the homemaker . You can make a pick . This is why you 're not serious . This is why you 're not serious . We have a demographic problem in the country because of an economic problem that underlays it . You 've got to solve that economic problem . Kids under 40 today , they 're nothing more than Russian serfs . They do n't own anything , and they 're not going to own anything . And we have n't done this for 14 generations to leave it like that . That has to be changed . We have to change that . And , yes , the people that want to come over here and immigrate , there 's a system for that . And we 're not going to shut that down . I think we have to shut down the scams of these visas right now to give priority to American citizens . And , yes , we can get back to a situation where you have one provider , whether it 's the husband or the wife , the other is at home , and you can raise kids like we used to raise kids in this country with hands on from their parents . And that 's where we 're going to turn this country around . And if you 're going to laugh and mock at that , fine . Laugh and mock at it . But that 's what we 're working on , the family as the unit . Steve , I mean , first of all , let me just say , I have to end it because it 's now sub-subzero . And they 've had enough , you can tell ? I have to say ... no , no , I think it 's been very engaging . And I will say one thing . I mean , you engage with this , and I can think of people who manage institutions not very far from here who are not very engaging on your side of the political spectrum .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It also does not exhibit either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'falling in and out of something akin to love' is not an instance of the construction as it lacks the necessary components and interpretations.

Three Album Run is a series of tQ essays where we explore the best unbroken run of LPs in different genres . We 've already looked at Krautrock but if you want to suggest a genre for a future essay please email John@theQuietus.com under the heading Three Album Run . The full rules are at the foot of this feature . Once upon a time , during what was not so much a " golden age " as an ejaculatory age of denim and leather ( and occasionally lace ) , there was no higher human aspiration than to " rock " . Teenagers -- a recently invented term for a class that had previously been a source of cheap farm labour , whose numbers were determined by luck , vermin , and a Papal workaround known as the rhythm method -- were , all of a sudden , the judge , jury , and executioners of culture . For most of recorded history the earliest " gangs " or " crews " of these proto-persons were subsidised by their families , if only as a hedge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ post-war prosperity and Frank Sinatra-induced horniness had resulted in a " boom " of these cretins . So they were given a name , allowed to keep whatever they earned at the malt shop , and set loose on the world . With this newly acknowledged population -- simultaneously hated , pampered , used as both tastemaker and cannon fodder , plus altogether eroticised to an ooky degree -- came " the 60s " . Which was exhausting , but was happily followed by the 1970s , where things got awesome . Because the 1970s was when the counterculture of the 1960s ; the counterculture of the 1980s ( which is given the arbitrary start date of 1977 , but actually started a decade earlier ) ; and a vague , deracinated misremembering of the 1950s all converged , like an episode of Dr. Who , but with tighter pants . The result was an endless panoply of teen-dream marketed art , where volume was an inherent virtue , ass and grass were codified as commodities rather than communal properties , and rock songs were easily identifiable by both @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their titles . If , in the 50s and 60s , rocking and rolling was a metaphor for fucking , the teenagers of the 70s were comfortable saying " fuck " , so rocking became a metaphor for itself , with the transcendent state of rocking achieved via itself ; a zen and tautological journey from rocking to rocking . This journey had many sherpas , and just as many frozen bodies left behind . It was , to coin a phrase , a long way to the top . AC/DC started in 1973 as a quasi-family band . Two brothers , Angus and Malcolm Young , whose brother , George , served as both mentor , producer , and occasional bassist . George Young had already forged a successful music career , having written ' Friday On My Mind ' . But he 'd failed to achieve the international success he craved and he 'd seen his band , The Easybeats , fall apart because of compromise and a failure to rock . All three brothers set it in their minds to not repeat that mistake . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drummers , all prone to being let go at a ( literal ) moment 's notice . By the middle of the decade , the band was almost famous , an Australian rock band who were regionally popular in some of America 's greasiest secondary markets and who were being called " punk " by the UK press a year before the first Sex Pistols album came out . They were mainly known for their two frontmen ; one a virtuoso guitarist who dressed like a school boy and played brutalist squalls of post-blues while spinning on his back like a centipede , and the other being Bon Scott , a singer with painted on pants , the voice of an asphyxiated Rod Stewart , and the face of a young Eugene Levy . It 's generally agreed that AC/DC solidified with 1977 's Let There Be Rock . As if to bolster that future claim , the album 's title track is a propulsive , if chronologically iffy , recounting of rock & roll 's history , framed in the language of Genesis ( the book , not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ illustrate how AC/DC was not quite at their peak , suffering as it does for making the uncharacteristically subtle mistake of having Bon Scott shout , " Let there be guitars ! " and then allowing a full four seconds to elapse before the guitars kick in . ( Three years later , on ' Juke Box Hero ' , Foreigner would not make the same mistake . ) As the critic Mosi Reeves has pointed out , ' Let There Be Rock ' was also an unfortunate example of a white band delineating an artificial line between heavy guitar music made by Black musicians and heavy guitar music made by white musicians , with the -- unintentional -- result being that AC/DC gave credence to rock radio 's thoroughly racist policy of designating the boogie-fied ruckus made by bands like AC/DC as more " rock " than , say , what Mandrill or Funkadelic was up to at the time . Despite the continuing condescension thrown at their Aussie-ness , from 1978 to 1980 , AC/DC were an Australian band consisting of a solitary Australian ( though one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one English journeyman , three Scots ( one so much a True Scotsman that he took a not exactly truncated derivation of ' Bonny Scott ' as his moniker ) and -- after said Bonny Scott met his not so bonny end -- yet another Brit ( one so British that he 'd been in a band called Geordie and dressed like Andy Capp ) . In this same three year period , this gang of refugees and townie last-chancers would produce a three album run ( Powerage , Highway To Hell , Back In Black ) that together make up the pinnacle three-LP run in all of 20th Century rock . If , within that category , those three albums are ever surpassed in the 21st Century , it 'll only be on account of some sort of reverse-Rapture scenario , where Hell is empty and all the rockers are here . To avoid confusion , we should make clear that , when discussing the oeuvre and/or genius of Bon Scott , Malcolm and Angus Young , Phil Rudd , Cliff Williams and ( from 1980 on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " is intentional . Further , and perhaps most importantly , the term " rock " , in this context is pronounced " rawk " . As in : the kind of rock that fits in no other subgenres , no other subcultures , and to which no " post- " could ever be reasonably applied . The kind of music -- blues-based , booze-dependent , heroically-puerile ( and vice versa ) heavy guitar pop -- that inspires teenage dirtbags to grow their hair to their shoulders and write a band 's name in an elaborate font on their jeans and sneakers . You know . Rock . Also , for the purposes of this discussion , the 20th Century begins in 1970 . Like they say at the zoo : everything up to then was just tuning up . ( For those who might argue against a seemingly arbitrary distinction which conveniently rules out the Beatles and Stones , please consult the speech , regarding the 1960s , made by the Terry Valentine character in The Limey for precedent : " It was just 66 and early 67 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ All the above qualifications might seem excessive , or even counterintuitive . But despite their own claims and not un-strenuous efforts to prove otherwise , AC/DC is a complicated band . The joke , bolstered by the band 's own statements , is that every song sounds the same . Malcolm Young used to respond to the critique with , " Yeah , it 's the same band . " Over the years , lead guitarist Angus has told ( and retold ) an anecdote where some effete and impudent critic tells him that AC/DC has just remade the same album twelve times and he responds with , " That 's a dirty lie ! We 've remade the same album fourteen times ! " The exact number of redone albums goes up as AC/DC persists , with the current anecdotal claim-to-truth ratio standing at 16 to 18 . With all due respect to the Young Brothers ' self-effacement , the claim is provably false . If every AC/DC album sounded the same , AC/DC would have more great albums . Nor can the varying quality of the band 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Phil Rudd playing drums on it , " at least not while ' Thunderstruck ' exists . Conceding that , within the confines of Bon Scott and Brian Johnson 's vocal range and Angus Young 's dogmatic attention to both guitar tone and fan expectation , and conceding further that the bloozehammer workouts and assorted dross which makes up a fair amount of the band 's catalogue can indeed blur together , I 'd argue that every good AC/DC album is different . Ineffably maybe , but just as often quite tangibly to anyone who can , say , tell the difference between Slayer and Metallica LPs . Whether it 's the bagpipe dirge attached to the song which put AC/DC on the map in Australia , the proto-Oi ! of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap , or the bullying and steely gloss of the , ' We still got some juice ' albums ( 1990 's The Razors Edge and their most recent , post-Malcolm , album ) each with its own individual charm , sad-sleazeball concerns , and highway star power . AC/DC 's diversity is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ achievements . If there 's an overriding unity to Powerage , Highway To Hell , and Back In Black , it 's in how all three signify a band that -- inadvertently , temporarily -- have gone from being cheeky traditionalists to being modernist in a way that Warhol would appreciate ( if he could get past the t-shirts ) and that a band like DEVO could only approximate when their songs started playing in Target ads . Bon Scott 's voice , while overrated by Brian Johnson haters , was severely underrated when he was alive . In a direct line from John Fogerty , Rod Stewart , Family 's Roger Chapman ( who he was negatively compared to in the States ) , and the various Australian acts who approximate the same , Scott was of the post-blues school of high-gruff authenticity mongering ; what the wife calls " real-setto " . Love it , hate it , the little girls understood . That said , when people describe Bon Scott 's vocals , the term " vulnerable " does n't come up a lot . Yes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ described as having a raw sensitivity . But to be honest , these stories are usually very much in the " tell not show " category , following invariably as they do some story of the man being a complete fuckhead to one woman or another . Still , the stories are all told by those same women so there had to be something there . And that something is almost on display on Powerage . The album , the last one of the 1970s that would be produced by George Young , has no " hits " and peaked at #133 on the American charts . The album that hipsters , poseurs , and rock critics swear by , correctly . It 's the album where Bon Scott sounds the least cartoonish , the least tethered to blues traditions , the least tethered to anything really . On ' Rock And Roll Damnation ' , ' Down Payment Blues ' , and ' Sin City ' , he sounds so much like a man trapped within rock 's underbelly and hard rockin ' circumstances , hellbent on getting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ever Rocked ) that he 's practically a Mekons lyric . It 's no mystery that Powerage is also beloved by skinheads , who always saw AC/DC as part of the Oi ! lineage , both for the band 's working class bonafides and by dint of the band members being at least skinhead adjacent when they were sharpie tweens . Having a song like ' Kicked In The Teeth ' is almost gilding the lily in that regard , but AC/DC were always both self-aggrandising in the violence they were willing to get into ( the biographies are positively exhausting about it ) and also more truthful than most tuff bands in how they made the violence prosaic , in the way they made taking a punch something so everyday that metaphors of violence were no different than catching a social disease or falling in and out of something akin to love . Keith Richards , a man guilty of being hip if nothing else , is a noted Powerage fan as well . The album came out in 1978 , just a couple months too late @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out a few months later . So that explains why Some Girls is n't as good as Powerage . Keef just has n't heard it yet . But then , the question lingers : what does Keith Richards hear that he loves enough to listen to while he 's mixing Stones albums ? If he hears what we hear , why does n't he ... do that ? The wavering , breaking-on-the-shore riff of ' What 's Next To The Moon ' could be the backbone of an Archers Of Loaf song . It could be a chorus on Immortal 's Heart Of Winter . How the fuck does the guy who 's written some of the finest music of the last 1,000 years hear that riff and go , " You know what , me matey ? I think I 'll make Steel Wheels . " The title track of Highway To Hell is a rewrite of ' Hard Road ' , a song which George Young wrote for the singer of the Easybeats solo album ( which Malcolm Young played on ) , but when it came @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with his partner Harry Vanda ) was still given the shaft in favour of Shania Twain 's future ex-husband anyways . Insisted upon by Atlantic Records but ( grudgingly ) agreed to by Malcolm and Angus , that kind of fraternal loyalty might be why " friends " is the first word on the record that Bon Scott bothers enunciating , like he 's manifesting camaraderie and putting out an open invitation at the same time . Richard Ramirez took the album 's closer , ' Night Prowler ' , as an instruction pamphlet , further illustrating one of the dangers of assuming everyone is on the same page . The band 's sixth studio LP is the first AC/DC album without a single song with a variation of " rock " in its title . Even without the signage , it got AC/DC to the top . Released the same week as Chic 's Risqu ? , scientists would designate those seven days as the horniest that the Earth 's surface had ever been , noting that it was a wonder that anyone made it to the end of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rock and roll platonism " , which is a great line which would be true if anything else before or after sounded quite like it . Let 's be honest , ' Drift Away ' is the platonic rock sound : sentimental , sloshing , unwilling to ever shut the fuck up about itself . This , thank God , ai n't that . Instead , for good or ill , thanks in part to a need for a hit and the ensuing Mutt Lange production , thanks in part to the crystallised distalization of all the previous albums ' cartoon venom ( each song taking its own mean time without ever dragging ) , and thanks in part to ten tracks of the kind of Lego-perfect guitar architecture which left The Clash with no direction to go but roots and Led Zeppelin no choice but to give up entirely , Highway To Hell is the platonic AC/DC album . For proof of the album 's singularity , look no further than the number of attempts there have been to cover the title track , with a failure rate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the smart move being to just winkingly paraphrase their whole thing ( a la the Upper Crust ) or taking The KLF 's advice and trying your best to sound like your heroes , hopefully ending up your own thing through failing ( KIX , Dangerous Toys , The Godfathers etc ) . Once you decide to attempt an actual cover version , you 're on your own . Of all the ' Highway To Hell ' renditions , Springsteen comes closest , on two versions , and neither gets within spitting distance of good . With the E Street Band , live in Australia , he performs the track like the least anonymous one-name band on any given 1980s teen sex comedy . When he chants " Australia " like it 's pronounced " get higher , baby , " you can picture Rodney Dangerfield tugging at his collar in bemused appreciation . The version with Eddie Vedder and Tom Morello is fun mainly as a nice illustration of just how hard it is to pull off Angus Young riffs and not sound like you 're using a 90s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Springsteen singing together , aping Bon Scott , sounds like two clams sucking on the same pearl . I 'm not trying to be cruel . Good on the whippersnappers for trying . But it 's not like " I tell you , folks , it 's harder than it looks " was n't on the syllabus . It 'd be cute , at this juncture , to say something about Bon Scott achieving his final form , or accomplishing what he 'd set out to , or some such bullshit . But he was a human being , no more full of life than anyone else , but indubitably alive , wild , addicted to alcohol , and special . Again , maybe no more than anyone is but , if we are going to imagine art as something different than data entry ( or , say , art criticism ) , the math is in his favour . That said , it 'd have been better if he 'd not made a masterpiece and lived . But what can you do ? Bores ( of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claim that when Bon Scott died ( from something ... opinions vary ) on 19 February 1980 , the band lost its soul . Rick Rubin , the Beastie Boys , and multiple generations of gum-chewing back-sassers , smoking Camel Lights in high school bathrooms all over the world would beg to differ . Of course , depending on whether one subscribes to the theory that an amount of Back In Black was derived from notebooks of lyrics that Bon Scott left behind , the point may be moot . Without wading too deep into that controversy , I 'll simply say that I believe that every human being has a " she was a fast machine , she kept her motor clean " inside of them , most single cell organisms could have written the lyrics ( if not the hook ) to ' Rock And Roll Ai n't Noise Pollution ' , and if it 's hard to parse that the same person who wrote ' Back In Black ' wrote a song as infinitely moronic as ' Night Of The Long Knives ' just a year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for thunder to strike twice . What matters is that , against all odds ( regardless of the individual contributions ) , Back In Black happened . And teenage sass would never be the same . If Bon Scott -- poured into his jeans and wailing his auto-asphyxiated odes to desire and frustration -- paved the way for artists ranging from Axl Rose to Blood Brothers ( and Fugazi 's Guy Picciotto , if we grant the lasting impact that his first concert , AC/DC opening for KISS , may have had on him , and if we consider the timbre of his voice and think of a basketball hoop as essentially the same as a pair of tight pants ) , then what Brian Johnson paved the way for was everybody else . As with all the great supposed everyman arts , Johnson 's charm is making something very difficult to do ( well ) look easy , with the " well " part paved over in the invitation to sing along . If Brian Johnson was just a journeyman who lucked into the gig of a lifetime @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Young told him to do ) , that would only serve to make his performance on Back In Black that much more remarkable . Like one of those moms who lift up a car to save their kid ; at worst a tool as necessary as Angus ' Gibson ( or a freakin ' howitzer on D-Day ) . But in reality , the fact that Johnson was able to step into a dead man 's shoes , not pretend otherwise , and do so in such a way that was not only seamless , not only knowing and affectionate , and not just boisterous but lovable ( in a way that made a band , not previously known for being lovable , the same ) , proved the new belter to be less a tool than a superhero . ( Of course , if Captain America lifting Thor 's hammer was delightful in the comic books , it became significantly less so as spectacle . But that came later . ) This is not to imply that Back In Black is sentimental art . It was indeed morbid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the notion that this brand of sexism would seem a bit quaint thirty five years later probably would n't have been much comfort for the women turning on the radio in 1980 to hear their genitalia described in terms of auto repair . One should n't retcon Brian Johnson into the role of hard rockin ' teddy bear just because in 2025 the lyrical default for most popular male singers is monstrousness . In this , and without falling for the sucker 's gambit of thinking of " punk " as an inherent good , if the punk designation -- given to the band when they first hit the States and toured with the Dictators -- was proven nonsensical by Powerage 's strange death-march blues , it started to make sense again with Back In Black , though by then the battle lines were drawn too deeply for any critic to make the mistake of calling something as it actually was . In retrospect it 's pretty easy to see that those carved off walls of noisified funk -- as much proto-Page Hamiliiton as they were bastardized R&B -- @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Andy Gill ) were never so far from the distorto brick laying of ' Hell Ai n't A Bad Place To Be ' or ' Girl Got Rhythm ' , It 's not a reach to see ' What Do You Do For Money Honey ' as the evil twin to any Gang Of Four song you care to mention . " We all have good intentions but all with strings attached , " just from a different moral angle . Sex as commodity , just rearrange the guitar bursts . If the last couple paragraphs feel like denunciations , they are not . If the counterpoint of , " Ask a lady who loves AC/DC if any of that shit was remotely a dealbreaker " , seems anecdotal , bordering on hand waving , I would strongly suggest the reader consult with a female-identifying AC/DC fan , and see if you have a Geiger counter big enough to calculate the love that the band engenders . Or go listen to Nashville Pussy , or the first couple L7 albums . Or just go on Facebook and look up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ smoking at fourteen . The ones I knew saved my ass from getting kicked more times than I can count , so I 'm loath to second guess their judgement . While no art is apolitical , there are albums that are soundtracks to simply shaking your shit which are ... differently political . And anyway , as stated up top , AC/DC are complicated . And simple . Primal I suppose , with the lizard brain mixed with a modernist individualism in such a paradoxically primitivist and highly refined manner that none of their contemporaries could touch . Maybe ZZ Top , but certainly not for three albums in a row . Maybe Van Halen , but only on 1984 . Maybe Hot Chocolate , if they were n't so patchy and/or people had better taste . Maybe the Sex Pistols , but for less than a full album . Maybe Led Zeppelin , on ' Good Times Bad Times ' , the first half of Zoso , and otherwise in their dreams . Maybe Thin Lizzy , but ... ok , maybe Thin Lizzy too . All @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ roll , or blues rock , or whatever genre name one might apply to UFO , The Scorpions , etc . But for Rock ? For RAWK ? It 's AC/DC . It 's Powerage into Highway to Hell to Back in Black . They could 've ended the century there . Everything that came after was sustain . Three Album Run : Rules No live albums , no comps , no covers LPs , no collab records , no anthologies etc . Albums listed by year they were released not recorded No name changes unless name changing is part of the aesthetic . I.e. including albums by Tubeway Army and Gary Numan in the same run is not OK , but any permutation of the Osees as a three album run would be fine Album run has to start after 1970 Ignore the band or artist 's feelings on what genre they are . The Cure are either goth , post punk , psychedelic rock or alternative rock . Sorry , The Cure ! Even if we find the genre slightly spurious @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ All Music and Discogs . I.e. if Wikipedia say Roxy Music are " Art Rock " or " Glam Rock " then one of those two genres is what we 'll stick with ; getting mired down in endless gatekeeping discussions over the authentic boundaries of genres ai n't for champs like us |

Instead, it seems to describe a process of creating something from ordinary things, which is unrelated to the construction's defined properties.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'take the piss out of everything that moves' does not involve a VP2[-ing] predicate and does not yield a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

I would like to be emailed about offers , event and updates from Evening Standard . Read our privacy notice . When news broke of a fire at Keir Starmer 's family home in Kentish Town yesterday , even the most internet-inured amongst us should have paused scrolling to think , " F*** , that 's actually pretty scary . " Maybe it 's because it 's close to home for Londoners , maybe it 's because Starmer is a left-leaning politician , maybe it 's because he has n't been in the job that long so still maintains a tiny vestige of relatability , but I found that it jolted me from my rote , unfeeling , journalist shell and shocked me . Just a little . A 21-year-old man has now been arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life . It was n't just one fire , either . The Met are also investigating whether a vehicle fire and a blaze at a property in north London may be linked to the third fire in Kentish Town . Luckily , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and nobody was hurt , according to police . But that did n't stop people from wishing they were . A photographer gathers evidence from the fire damaged entrance to a property in north London owned by Prime Minister Keir Starmer Peter Macdiarmid/LNP I discovered this as I scrolled through the Instagram comment section of a left-wing publication yesterday . The publication has 431,000 followers . Under a post that broke the news of the fire , there were multiple comments celebrating . " About time " . " Is the fire ok ? " " Shame he was n't inside . " I get that they 're jokes , and I get why they 're making them . A few of the people were called out in the comment section , to which they responded that the genocide in Palestine was their reasoning for making such jokes . That 's a pretty damning Uno reverse card . Because to many people , wishing death upon Keir Starmer in an Instagram comment section is n't so much " an eye for an eye " , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when you 're in debt 50,000 eyes and still losing more and more each day . Even writing this , I know that some particularly hardline left friends -- the kind who take the piss out of everything that moves -- will think I 'm being a wettie . Even I would be tempted to respond to this headline : " Keir 's not going to shag you , babe . " But it 's not about Keir . This culture of insincerity is starting to scare me , left and right . Nothing is beyond reproach , and not in a good way . Not in a way that speaks truth to power , but in a way that trivialises and minimises so many things that ultimately everyone suffers . Anyone older than 27 might think I am making the most obvious point in the world right now : do not wish violence upon others . But on the internet , amongst young people , that is a point that gets blurred by distance , meme culture , and a desire to distract ourselves from what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If you ca n't see how your comments celebrating a fire at the Prime Minister 's home might be linked to the same kind of desensitisation that allows us to look away from Gaza each day , I do n't know what to tell you . Keep scrolling , I guess . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. The phrase 'rule him out of anything other than maybe this weekend' does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate and does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'out of' is followed by a noun phrase 'anything other than maybe this weekend', which does not fit the criteria for the transitive out of -ing construction.

Tom Curry has been handed the British and Irish Lions news ( Image : Getty ) Tom Curry has got the green light to head to Australia with the Lions despite his recent injury scare -- but will go under the knife after the tour .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'pulls out of' in a different context, indicating withdrawal from a role rather than causing someone to move out of or preventing someone from an action. There is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'take the fuss out of facilitating such events' does not involve a causee NP object that participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to be a metaphorical expression about removing difficulty from a process, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'makes money out of making a record' does not involve a causee NP object that participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a general means of earning money, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'gets out of' in a context where 'chumming up to Donald Trump' is the activity, but there is no clear NP object functioning as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'gets out of' here seems to imply benefit or gain, which does not align with the transitive out of -ing construction's properties.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'taken Gaelic football out of hurling's shadow' does not involve a VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to be a metaphorical expression about changing the status or perception of Gaelic football relative to hurling.

He had the ball out around the middle of the field . He let on that he was kind of turning around to go back towards his own goal , and next thing he goes for it , gives the slip pass , gets it back , and puts the ball over the bar . I thought it was a genius score , and I just thought the way they held the ball for the last two or three minutes was so composed . Then for Rafferty to make that clumsy tackle , I mean , you do n't need to do that . So how do they win the game ? Fine margins . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I 'd be really disappointed that they did n't win an Ulster title , because there 's no doubt they went hard for that . But at the end of the day , if I 'm an Armagh person , I now need to look at the bigger picture . We have Rian O'Neill back . We were in that game to the very end . We have players to come back into this team . We 're going to be stronger as the All Ireland series progresses . And Ois ? n Conaty was just amazing . He was my man-of-the-match . Rian O'Neill of Armagh is with the team at Clones for the Ulster final against Donegal . Picture by Oliver McVeigh I suppose the big call was the Soupy Campbell one towards the end . I watched that back six times and in my view , Soupy takes a few extra steps , I think , number one . The second thing that strikes me is , if you look at the position of the three Donegal defenders @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Soupy definitely played for a free , and you would n't blame him . They 're the ones that can go either way . And , my God , it took me four or five times to go back on it to see it from different angles to see is that a free ? Is that not a free ? I mean , the referees have to be so on top of it . It 's extra time for the referee as well . The referees are out on their feet I 'm sure , and to be able to get that call right , I just think it was a great call . I think Brendan Cawley was outstanding . We 've been living in the shadow of hurling for a long time now . You look at this game last year , and Armagh and Donegal gave us a feast of football as well . So do n't get me wrong , there were quality games last year , but by and large , football was gone . It was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and they 'd say ' I 'm not going to watch football anymore ' .

Ryan Reynolds is said to be using his trips to Wrexham to ease the stress of the Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni row ( Image : Robbie Jay Barratt - AMA/Getty Images ) A senior figure at Wrexham AFC has lifted the lid on how Ryan Reynolds is using his trips to North Wales to avoid the stress of the legal row between his wife , Blake Lively , and Justin Baldoni . Lively is currently locked in a dispute with Baldoni after the actors starred together in the 2024 film It Ends With Us . The pair have filed lawsuits against each other after Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and launching a smear campaign against her . ? Baldoni is counter-suing Lively and Wrexham owner Reynolds over several claims , including defamation and invasion of privacy . Both parties have strenuously denied the accusations . ? Away from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ month to watch Wrexham secure promotion to the Championship , alongside co-owner Rob McElhenney . The couple were seen celebrating wildly from their private box as Phil Parkinson 's side beat Charlton Athletic 3-0 , before later joining the team on the pitch . It 's now been suggested that Reynolds ' visits to Wrexham this season have helped him escape from the backlash surrounding the Lively-Baldoni row . Club director Humphrey Ker provided an insight into the actor 's mindset during an appearance on the High Performance podcast . The comedian and writer told host Jake Humphrey : " The biggest thing is that they Reynolds and McElhenney both love it . They love coming to the games and they love being there . The pleasure that they get out of seeing what it does for everyone is so great . " Ryan jokes sometimes , being like , ' Oh , I ca n't believe you got me into this , Rob ' , but he loves it . Ryan 's been having a strange year with everything that 's been going on around his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Wrexham , which is just a place where everyone 's like , ' I do n't care about any of that . We just care about whether we can score one more goal than Wigan Athletic ' . " ? He added : " I think it 's an escape for both of them . It 's a nice break from Hollywood and I found that as well . " While Wrexham appears to be the perfect place for Reynolds to relax , Ker said he did have to advise him of one pitfall of owning a football club during the early days . Ryan Reynolds has opened up on losing himself when it comes to supporting Wrexham ( Image : Getty Images ) Although it has yet to happen , with Wrexham currently enjoying unprecedented success , Ker warned Reynolds he could be confronted by angry fans if results start turning against them . ? He said : " One of the very first things I said to Ryan on that very first call was ' Just so you know , if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there will come a time when you are called a c*** in front of your kids in Manchester Airport by a Wrexham fan , because we will have lost four games in a row ' . " Ker added : " I was like , ' Well , I 'll try and be your c*** sponge ' . Anytime anyone hurls abuse , I 'll eat that happily . " Reynolds and McElhenney had to wait a while to watch Wrexham after first buying the club in February 2021 due to the Covid pandemic . Wrexham AFC is the arguably the fastest-growing club in the world at the moment thanks to a certain Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney . The Dragons have achieved two consecutive promotions and are cheered on by crowds from not only North Wales but also from all over the globe , thanks to the success of the Disney+ documentary ' Welcome to Wrexham ' .

However , they eventually attended their first game as the then-National League side took on Maidenhead away in October of that year . The pair received a baptism of fire as they were mocked by the home supporters after Wrexham lost 3-2 . But Ker revealed they actually enjoyed the experience , taking in their first match at the Racecourse shortly after . " For Ryan in particular , I think when he first arrived in Wrexham , it completely changed his perspective for the whole thing , because it had all been sort of at arm 's length , " he said .

The Duke told the Queen : " The unveiling of a foundation stone at the Abbey by a member of the royal family has been recorded only on two occasions , by King Henry III 805 years ago , almost to the day on the 16th rather than the 14th of May , and then in 2016 when His Majesty unveiled the foundation stone of the Tower and the Jubilee Galleries . " And as we have pretty much run out of building sites , it may be the last . So you 'll see , Ma'am , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that in unveiling a stone here , you are in good company . " The Sacristy will house new welcome , security and ticketing facilities , allowing the Abbey itself to be preserved as a sacred space . The Queen , who is Patron of the Westminster Abbey Sacristy Project , was escorted to the site by the Dean of Westminster , the Very Reverend Dr David Hoyle and members of the Chapter and joined by her sister Annabel Elliot for the ceremony , which included prayers and a short performance of Anton Bruckner 's Locus Iste by the Abbey choir . The sacristy building is being constructed on the footprint of the medieval Great Sacristy , built in the 1250s during Henry III 's reconstruction of the Abbey for monks to store vestments , altar linens , and other sacred items used in daily worship . It also played an important role in the life of the Abbey as a place for the formation of processions on church and state occasions .

After the service , the Queen went into the Abbey to meet staff , including the visitor and facilities and conservation teams , stopping to admire the recently updated memorial to the Bront ? sisters . The distinctive dots over the ' e ' were restored to ensure the authors are remembered in the way they themselves wrote their names .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks a clear causer and causee relationship, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to express a comparison of experiences without the specific grammatical and semantic properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Additionally, it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of filming' is not part of a VP2[-ing] predicate but rather a complement of the complex preposition 'out of'.

The Israeli government doubles down on its insistence that there is " no shortage " of food in Gaza , and rejects repeated claims from UN organisations that it is restricting aid and food as " part of a military strategy " Hamas attacked Israel on 7 October 2023 , killing at least 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages Israel 's retaliatory military campaign has killed at least 52,829 people in Gaza , according to the Hamas-run health ministry Edited by Jamie Whitehead , with Alice Cuddy in Jerusalem , and Rushdi Abualouf in Cairo Image source , Getty Images The BBC has been hearing from people in Gaza throughout the day describing the severe impact of Israel 's 10-week blockade on all food , medicine and other humanitarian aid , as well as continued deadly air strikes . The Israeli government doubled down on its insistence that there is " no shortage " of food in Gaza and that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " .

That 's despite assertions from various UN bodies , and international aid organisations on the ground in Gaza , that its population of 2.1 million people are at " critical risk of famine " and that rising rates of malnutrition could have an impact on an entire generation . Caroline HawleyDiplomatic correspondent This is n't the first time that there have been warnings of famine in Gaza . So , we asked the World Food Programme ( WFP ) -- the UN body tasked with making sure the world is fed - to explain how serious the situation is now .

" He says that " a very few " locally produced vegetables make it to market . But the prices are " astronomical " and there are no longer any working bakeries . Earlier this week , the World Health Organization -- quoting Gaza 's health ministry -- said that 57 children are reported to have died from malnutrition since the start of March . Renard spoke of a " morbid countdown . " " Malnutrition is increasing , " he said . " That makes the whole body weaker and more prone to disease .

" The catastrophic suffering is entirely preventable . Aid trucks can deliver food , medicine and other supplies as soon as Israel reopens the crossings . " The charity says it is still able to support more than 20,000 orphaned children and their guardians with cash payments , provide maternal care to hundreds of pregnant women , and clean dozens of shelters to prevent diseases from spreading . Israel 's military assault " has turned the region into the most difficult and dangerous place in the world to deliver humanitarian aid " , the charity says , calling on international governments to put pressure on Israel to end the siege .

" There are very few places where people can locally grow some fruits and vegetables , " Abualouf says , and that flour is running out . He says most community kitchens , which used to provide free meals for people , are running out of all essentials to cook food . " Even if you have a lot of money in Gaza right now it does n't matter , " Abualouf says as it 's impossible to find food to feed your family .

By Richard Irvine-Brown and Emma Pengelly So far , we 've verified four videos showing the arrival and treatment of at least eight children at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis , following reported Israeli air strikes in the area . In one video , two injured children are lifted from parked vehicles outside the emergency department of the hospital and hurriedly carried inside . In a second video - which we know was filmed in the same location because we see the same building in the background - a medical worker is holding a child with severe head injuries , wrapped in a blanket in his arms . Two other videos we 've authenticated were filmed inside the hospital and show seven children on beds . They are conscious , some crying , some bleeding . We 're confident they 're inside Nasser Hospital @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first video we verified , and we 've matched the floor tiling to other footage we know was filmed in Nasser last year . We also know from searching three frames of each video , plus looking at some of their filenames and HTML data , the footage was first shared publicly online between 03:00 and 04:00 local time . However , we ca n't say what caused the injuries . Image source , Telegram Image caption , Fencing , tiles , background buildings and the child in red in one video helped us be certain of other images from Nasser Wyre DaviesMiddle East Correspondent in Jerusalem The Israeli government has doubled down on its insistence that there is " no shortage " of food in Gaza and that the " real crisis is Hamas looting and selling aid " . David Mencer , a spokesman for the Office of the Israeli prime minister , told journalists that the only famine in Gaza was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comments came amid growing evidence that Israel 's 10-week total blockade of the Palestinian enclave was having an increasingly detrimental humanitarian impact . Rejecting repeated claims from UN organisations that Israel was restricting aid and food as " leverage , part of a military strategy " , Mencer said the only hunger in Gaza was " hunger orchestrated by Hamas " . That 's despite assertions from various UN bodies , and international aid organisations on the ground in Gaza , that its population of 2.1 million people are at " critical risk of famine " and that rising rates of malnutrition could have an impact on an entire generation . Israel has given few details about an American-backed plan to allow some aid into Gaza , through what would be a privately funded mechanism , known as the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation ( GHF ) . Mencer said the key element would be to " bypass Hamas " who he accused of stealing aid and " creating hunger to gain international sympathy " . It 's not clear how or when the GHF initiative would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but given the enormity of the task , they would almost certainly have to rely on existing UN mechanisms and infrastructure . Mallory MoenchLive reporter Salma Altaweel , a support manager for charity Norwegian Refugee Council who sent a message earlier saying she is weak from hunger , says " things became even worse " yesterday when the Israeli military issued sweeping evacuation orders in north Gaza . Under evacuation orders are the Islamic University , Al-Shifa Hospital and three former schools . Israel alleges the buildings are being used by Hamas , but local authorities and aid agencies , including Salma , say they are shelters for thousands of civilians . " Now people are walking in the streets with tears in their eyes . They do n't know where to go with their kids or their elderly people . They do n't have the strength to keep moving , they are simply too hungry , " she says . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there is n't enoughpublished at 16:23 British Summer Time By Nick Beake Israel is not allowing international journalists into Gaza , which really complicates our attempts to establish the scale of the lack of food in the territory . Some Israeli government officials concede Gazans are going hungry but deny there is starvation . " It 's just ridiculous the prices of food , " Canadian nurse Amy Low tells us from al-Mawasi , west of the southern city of Khan Younis . She says shelves are almost completely bare and prices of $10 ( ? 7 ) a kilo for tomatoes and $20 ( ? 15 ) a kilo for onions are being demanded for any remaining produce . Amy , who is the medical lead for Doctors Without Borders ( MSF ) at her location , says the number of expectant mothers being put on their malnutrition programme every week has roughly doubled compared with when she was in Gaza last year . As for the Israeli block on medicines , it 's having a particular impact on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ says . " We 've had to ration our medication for people because we do n't have enough to give them . We usually give a one-month supply but we ca n't now . " Instead , patients are being told to come back in a fortnight to see if any more supplies have been found . Many people decide unilaterally to halve their dosage to try to tide them over , but - as Amy says - this reduces the effectiveness of their treatment and puts them at further risk . She says in a message from south Gaza that the healthcare system " is on the brink of total collapse , " with a lack of medical supplies and a growing number of patients . Fuel shortages " have paralysed every facet of life " and " all aspects of life in Gaza are at a complete standstill " . She warns that any expansion of Israel 's war will " bring unimaginable suffering and death to countless people " and calls on the international community to act urgently to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ approaching a time when it will no longer be possible to deliver life-saving assistance to those in need , " she says . Alice CuddyReporting from Jerusalem Image source , Supplied As we reported earlier , it is believed that up to 23 hostages in Gaza are still alive . I 've just been speaking on the phone to Yehuda Cohen , whose son Nimrod , an Israeli soldier , was kidnapped by Hamas on 7 October 2023 . Two hostages released in the ceasefire earlier this year said they were held with Nimrod , and Yehuda spotted his son 's tattoo in a Hamas video . " He 's there , he 's alive , surviving , struggling , " he tells me . Asked how he is coping without any contact with his son , Yehuda says : " The more important question is how Nimrod is - we are worried , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and food . We are worried about him , and we want it to end . " He says he is now putting his hopes on US President Donald Trump to " force Prime Minister Netanyahu to go for a permanent ceasefire and a hostage deal . " " The message has been the same for the last 19 months , " he says . " We are fighting for you Nimrod ... We are doing all we can , and we will never stop until you have been released and until your life has been secured . " Five of its volunteers were killed on 7 October , two more were kidnapped and then murdered . Yael still mourns them but also hears daily from frightened and desperate families in Gaza who she used to help before the war . She told me she 's now ashamed to say that she 's Israeli . " I 'm begging the world , please help stop this war now . It 's being waged in my name . I want to be a good person @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that has killed thousands of kids . We are carrying out genocide now . And I ca n't talk about it in Israel , " she says . " We must stop the war , bring the hostages back and save our soldiers and their citizens . " Her biggest fear is that , if the conflict does n't stop , her 18-year old son will soon be a soldier , taking part in a " terrible , immoral " war . This picture from 28 January - before Israel 's blockade began in March - shows Gaza aid lorries at the Kerem Shalom crossing in southern Israel Israel 's stoppage of aid to Gaza has become one of the most contested issues of the war . It closed all crossings on 2 March , saying its aim was to put pressure on Hamas to release remaining hostages . Israel has described its action as one of its " main pressure tools " on Hamas , which it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ group denies . Israel and the US have recently argued that a new aid delivery system is needed . However , the UN and its humanitarian partners have rejected their proposal , describing it as an attempt to weaponise aid . They say they have maintained strong supervision over entry and distribution of supplies during the war . At the start of this week a report from the respected global food monitor , the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification , said half a million people in Gaza were facing starvation , and the entire 2.1m population was experiencing acute food insecurity . Palestinians have been collecting rations from food distribution centres During the two-month-long ceasefire this year , hundreds of aid lorries entered the Gaza Strip every day . However , with most of Gaza 's population now reliant on handouts , food stocks quickly diminished . According to the UN 's humanitarian office , OCHA , yesterday only about 65 community kitchens were still running , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tells me that operations were kept going for another week by swapping rice for cooking oil with another aid agency . Some fresh food can still be bought in Gaza but for exorbitant prices which most simply can not afford . Fishermen sell seafood , and small amounts of food are still grown locally . But most agricultural land lies in areas now taken over by the Israeli military . Shops and markets have limited numbers of dried and canned food -- even expired goods are on sale . Most everyday items have become extremely scarce including baby formula -- a real problem for newborns as poor nutrition has left many new mothers unable to breastfeed . Gazans tell us that the cost of flour is more than 50 times higher than during the ceasefire . Some have resorted to new innovations to make bread . A coffee grinding stall in Gaza City showed the BBC how it was now selling small amounts of ground pasta and lentils. |

He is listed as owning the Red Lion pub in Plawsworth and previously the Coach and Horses in Croxdale The 47-year-old added : " I am not a politician , far from it .

Then , Cllr Husband warned : " People will have to sit up and take notice . " Appointed Interim Chair of Reform 's Durham branch , his LinkedIn profile describes how he " played a significant role in the growth of the Reform brand on a local level . " Cllr Husband added : " As leader for the region I have built up a volunteer group and developed communication tools to encourage membership growth and local member involvement . " I have set up a branch structure with committee and also took the lead in the recruitment of local council candidates for the May 1st local elections to stand in every ward of North Durham .

Celebrating his new post , Cllr Husband said : " What we have achieved here is incredible . From a standing start , we now have full control of the council . The people of Durham have given us a clear mandate for serious change and we fully intend to deliver that .

That is three games because of suspension and one because he was out there but just was n't himself . For a man who has played such a huge role for the Seagulls , there appears to be some negativity among fans towards Joao Pedro right now . Arsenal are apparently admirers , as they are of Viktor Gyokeres and wideman Nico Williams . And , would you believe , Chelsea are reportedly interested in the Albion star , along with Liam Delap and Benjamin Sesko ? Delap has clearly caused excitement in the Premier League , which is no doubt deserved and justified but feels hard to believe when you think back to the way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ January . The guesswork has already started over which Albion players might be let go this summer . And they will have a lot of forwards . Of those who are currently on board , Joao Pedro appears to be a name mentioned -- for whatever reason . There may well be someone working hard to keep him in the spotlight . But would that be to forget how many times he has been the man who has dragged something out of nothing when Albion have really needed a goal or a spark . Late , late winners against Manchester United and Fulham . The penalty he forced and converted at home to Arsenal . Those two spot kicks against Leicester . Or that memorable sight of Fabian Hurzeler trying to get one last run from him when he was out on his feet in the epic FA Cup tie at Newcastle .

The landmark assisted dying bill could be in jeopardy after the Royal College of Psychiatrists withdrew its support ahead of tomorrow 's vote in the House of Commons . RCPysch , which represents psychiatrists across the UK , cited " serious concerns " about the already limited capacity of NHS mental health services , as well as the role psychiatrists would play in assisted dying decisions . MPs voted in favour of legalising assisted dying in England and Wales last year but " interventions from medical bodies " like RCPsych " have prompted more MPs to come forward with concerns " about the Terminally Ill Adults ( End of Life ) Bill , said The Telegraph . Now , at least 15 MPs " who either abstained or supported the bill previously are considering voting against it " . What did the commentators say ? RCPsych 's move is a " major blow to the bill 's credibility " , said Dan Hitchens in The Spectator . The group is apprehensive about the bill 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the option to opt out of participating in assisted dying procedures ) , as well as concerns regarding the duty of care psychiatrists have towards their patients . The British Medical Association , the union representing doctors in the UK , has maintained a neutral stance on whether laws around assisted dying should change , but the bill still has support among many in the medical profession . A recent BBC survey of GPs produced around 1,000 responses , with about 500 against the bill , and 400 in favour . One supportive GP , Susi Caesar , told the BBC she " will be at the front of the queue " to help terminally ill patients have the death they choose . " I think that 's the core joy of my job -- being with people to the very end of their health journey . " What 's next ? The bill will return to the House of Commons tomorrow , where MPs are due to vote once again , but " MPs have put forward so many amendments to discuss that they are unlikely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " , said The Telegraph . A third reading " is now expected next month " , on either 13 June or 20 June . THE EXPLAINER With Russian losses in Ukraine " ghosting close " to one million , we must prepare for the possibility that Vladimir Putin will think a nuclear attack is Russia 's " only option " , former British Army officer and chemical weapons expert Hamish de Bretton-Gordon told The Telegraph . Although Russia 's battlefield nuclear missiles would be " small " , compared to the atom bomb that devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 , their use would shatter the " nuclear equilibrium " that has " prevented WW3 for 75 years " . What are nuclear weapons ? They come under two broad categories : atomic bombs , which use power released by the splitting of atomic nuclei , and hydrogen bombs ( also known as thermonuclear bombs ) , whose explosive force derives from nuclear fusion . Although the " exact number " of nuclear weapons in any country @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the world 's nine nuclear powers are thought to hold " roughly " 12,331 nuclear warheads between them , said the Federation of American Scientists . What are ' tactical ' nuclear weapons ? Sometimes called " battlefield " or " non-strategic " missiles , tactical nuclear weapons are designed for use in military encounters between opposing forces , rather than for strategic strikes on an adversary 's territory . Smaller and less powerful than strategic nuclear weapons , they still have explosive yields of up to 300 kilotons -- 20 times that of the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima . In 2022 , the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists estimated that Russia had 1,912 of these missiles . The US was thought to have 200 , including 100 deployed across five European countries . What are strategic ballistic missiles ? These powerful missiles , sometimes known as intercontinental missiles , are the big brothers of the tactical weapons . With ranges between 6,000 and 9,300 miles , they 're capable of reaching targets on the other side of the world in a matter of minutes , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which are the ones depicted in nuclear apocalypse films and TV shows like " Threads " , were first developed by the Soviet Union in 1958 . The United States built its own the following year and China followed suit some 20 years later . More than half ( 54% ) of Britons are worried they 'll fall ill if they swim in UK waters , according to a survey of 2,000 people by Surfers Against Sewage . The campaigning charity has organised a series of " Paddle-Out Protests " on Saturday to raise awareness of sewage pollution . $27.50 : The amount Harvard Law School paid for a " replica " Magna Carta now identified as a priceless original . The manuscript , thought to be an unauthorised copy when it was purchased in 1946 , is actually an " extraordinarily rare " 1300 reissue of the famous document signed by King John in 1215 . TALKING POINT " Exploitative " , " reprehensible " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ adjectives critics have used to describe " Virgin Island " , Channel 4 's controversial new reality show . The series follows 12 virgins between the ages of 22 and 30 as they embark on an intimacy course at a luxury " hands-on " retreat , where sex experts try to help them lose their virginity . ' Visibly upsetting ' " Just when you thought the barrel had been scraped " , Channel 4 has " managed to shave some final dregs from the very bottom " , said Claudia Connell in the Daily Mail . This show is " turning the genuine concerns of the poor souls " who are participating into " cruel " and exploitative " low-rent entertainment " . It 's an " icky , uncomfortable sexperiment " that puts " already vulnerable people " into " visibly upsetting " situations , said Emily Baker in The i Paper . Yes , the participants are there of their own volition but watching a therapist " slide his hand up a young girl 's thigh " as she " visibly squirms " makes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to " have a cushion handy to hide behind " , said Anita Singh in The Telegraph , lest you " die of second-hand embarrassment " . The first episode left me marvelling at how the virgins can be " awkward in the company of the opposite sex " but somehow do n't mind an entire camera crew filming them . There 's " no way on Earth " I 'll be tuning in for episode two . ' Admirable courage'Although " Virgin Island " might " sound like an Alan Partridge pitch " , it 's " more complex than it first seems " , said The Guardian 's Rebecca Nicholson . The courage of the 12 participants is " admirable " , and it is " touching " to see them overcome the feeling that they 're " not like everyone else " . It touches on " some interesting topics " , said Vicky Jessop in London 's The Standard , including why people are " increasingly abstaining " from sex . One of the therapists suggests that our " cultural obsession with porn and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " . But , while it 's " heartwarming " to watch these shy people " open up and get experimental " as they 're " chivvied along " by therapists , one ca n't help feeling that this really should be taking place " behind closed doors " . ... for ballads , as research by academics at Brunel University suggests that an in-car playlist of slow-tempo tunes , like " Angels " by Robbie Williams , has a positive effect on driving .

Reasoning

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'he' is the NP subject, 'backs' is V1, 'Aaron's best man' is the NP object, and 'being' is the VP2[-ing] predicate. It also fits the prevention interpretation, as 'he' is preventing himself from being Aaron's best man by backing out. The verb 'backs' can be classified under the means of exerting force or pressure metaphorically. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'come out of hiding', where 'hiding' is a noun, not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object between the verb 'come' and 'out of hiding', and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The SNP 's by-election candidate Katy Loudon has questioned where Labour 's Davy Russell is after he ignored an invite to a hustings in Hamilton ( Image : NQ/Scottish Labour ) This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today , and has been written by our American colleagues . It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald . LABOUR 's candidate in an upcoming Scottish by-election is dodging debates ahead of the crunch vote , according to hopefuls from other parties . Katy Loudon , who is hoping to help the SNP hang on to the Hamilton , Larkhall and Stonehouse Scottish Parliament seat , has called out Labour 's Davy Russell after he failed to show up to a hustings in the constituency this week . The event was held in Hamilton church and hosted by the Scottish Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament , where members quizzed candidates about their views on nuclear power and weapons . She said : " " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ candidate 's refusal to turn up for this public debate , which SCND took the time and trouble to organise , advertise and apparently invite him to , not once , but repeatedly . " What has he got to hide -- apart from Labour 's devotion to nuclear weapons of mass destruction that squander ? 205 billion while one-in-four kids in Scotland start life in poverty ? " Or their continued arms sales to Israel so the Netanyahu regime can slaughter innocent Palestinians in a hospital ? Or Labour 's cuts to the incomes of pensioners , children , workers , sick and disabled people , local services like school buses ? " Come to think of it , no wonder he went into hiding , in case the public asked him questions about Labour 's betrayal of every principle its founders stood for . " Richie Venton , SSP election campaign organiser , said : " The SSP offers him Russell a second chance to come out of hiding and reveal what he 's all about . We will organise a public debate between @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " Russell said he would cancel a campaign session as a mark of respect for " Pope Benedict " , who died in 2022 , when he meant Pope Francis .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It involves the phrase 'opt out of helping with assisted dying', where 'opt out of' is a phrasal verb followed by a gerund, but it lacks the NP object that is a causee in the transitive out of -ing construction. Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the construction.

Kim Leadbeater 's bid to legalise assisted dying took a step forward on Friday as a key change was backed by MPs . After a five-hour debate , momentum still appeared behind the Labour MP in her attempt to allow terminally ill adults with six months left to apply to end their lives . The Commons supported Ms Leadbeater 's amendment to allow health workers to opt out of helping with assisted dying . A change put forward by an opponent to the Bill was defeated . ? MPs will debate the law once again on June 13 with over 100 amendments tabled . There will then be a crunch vote on the highly sensitive issue . ? The debate on Friday was the first time the proposed legislation had returned to the Commons since a historic vote in November saw a majority of MPs support the principle of assisted dying . Bringing her Bill back to Parliament , Ms Leadbeater said assisted dying must be legalised to avoid terminally ill people acting out of desperation or making " traumatic " trips to Dignitas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Valley said : " Put simply , if we do not vote to change the law , we are essentially saying that the status quo is acceptable . Over recent months , I have heard hundreds of stories from people who have lost loved ones in deeply difficult and traumatic circumstances , which show that that is clearly not the case . " Too many have seen their terminally-ill loved ones take their own lives out of desperation , or make the traumatic , lonely and costly trip to Switzerland , and then face a police investigation while dealing with their grief and loss . " Article continues below On Friday grieving families watched the debate from the public gallery of the House of Commons as the Bill was debated in the chamber .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate structure. Instead, it involves the phrase 'opt out of helping with assisted dying', where 'opt out of' is a phrasal verb followed by a gerund, not fitting the specific construction criteria outlined.

Kim Leadbeater 's bid to legalise assisted dying took a step forward on Friday as a key change was backed by MPs . After a five-hour debate , momentum still appeared behind the Labour MP in her attempt to allow terminally ill adults with six months left to apply to end their lives . The Commons supported Ms Leadbeater 's amendment to allow health workers to opt out of helping with assisted dying . A change put forward by an opponent to the Bill was defeated . ? MPs will debate the law once again on June 13 with over 100 amendments tabled . There will then be a crunch vote on the highly sensitive issue . ? The debate on Friday was the first time the proposed legislation had returned to the Commons since a historic vote in November saw a majority of MPs support the principle of assisted dying . Bringing her Bill back to Parliament , Ms Leadbeater said assisted dying must be legalised to avoid terminally ill people acting out of desperation or making " traumatic " trips to Dignitas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Valley said : " Put simply , if we do not vote to change the law , we are essentially saying that the status quo is acceptable . Over recent months , I have heard hundreds of stories from people who have lost loved ones in deeply difficult and traumatic circumstances , which show that that is clearly not the case . " Too many have seen their terminally-ill loved ones take their own lives out of desperation , or make the traumatic , lonely and costly trip to Switzerland , and then face a police investigation while dealing with their grief and loss .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'keep far-right parties out of decision-making in Brussels' involves the verb 'keep' followed by 'out of' and an NP 'decision-making in Brussels', which is not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the construction.

" My option is to form a big union government to get rid of this crisis , " said Romania 's hard-right presidential frontrunner George Simion . Robert Ghement/EFE via EPA/Alex Nicodim/Anadolu via Getty Images Romania 's hard-right presidential front-runner George Simion on Thursday said he would push for a broad coalition government if he is elected president on Sunday , potentially including his centrist opponent Nicu ? or Dan . Romanian politics plunged into turmoil in a presidential election late last year when the two main establishment parties -- the center-left Social Democratic Party ( PSD ) and the center-right National Liberal Party ( PNL ) -- were eclipsed by the stunning rise of far-right ultranationalist Calin Georgescu , who won the first round . Georgescu was later banned over undeclared election funding and allegations of Russian interference . The deciding round of a presidential election rerun will be held on May 18 , with Simion expected to win , riding the wave of right-wing support Georgescu built up last year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a parliamentary majority , the PSD and PNL again performed badly in the presidential rerun and have failed to make it to Sunday 's second round . Instead , Simion from the hard-right Alliance for the Union of Romanians ( AUR ) will face off against Dan , the independent mayor of Bucharest , in the battle to become president . " My option is to form a big union government to get rid of this crisis , " Simion said , adding such a coalition was needed to stabilize national politics , fight the country 's deficit and stave off a serious economic downturn . Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu from the PSD resigned after the dismal performance of his party in the first round of the presidential election rerun . Simion had predicted this , saying he could appoint Georgescu prime minister because the traditional parties had lost the credibility to hold a government together . Simion 's AUR was founded in 2019 and has surged to become the second-biggest party in Romania 's parliament . At the European level , it is part of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alongside Italy 's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni . The first task for whoever is elected on Sunday will be to gather enough support in the parliament to appoint a new prime minister . Simion , who said he is sure he will win Sunday 's ballot by a " landslide , " argued he could include his presidential opponent Dan , whom he called " Macron 's guy , " in government negotiations too . Advertisement Advertisement " I would n't rule them out either because they are quite reformist , " Simion said , praising Dan 's anti-corruption platform and goals to reduce red-tape and spending on administration . " We will have to stay at the dialogue table and we will see who of them wants to go to government , " Simion promised . In a rapidly tightening race that looks like it is going down to the wire , POLITICO 's Poll of Polls puts Simion on 49 percent and Dan on 46 percent . In truth , however , it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up a coalition . Three out of the country 's four main parties have already said loud and clear they will not join a coalition with Simion : the PNL , the centrist Save Romania Union , and the Hungarian minority party . They deem Simion as too extreme and anti-European . They also criticize his hostile approach to Ukraine , as the hard-right candidate has said on multiple occasions he would oppose any further military aid to Ukraine . Advertisement Advertisement " We can not imagine any cooperation with either AUR or Simion , it would be a disaster for the Hungarians in Romania , " said Botond Csoma , spokesperson of the Hungarian minority party . He qualified Simion 's potential victory as " terrible " and the start of a " dark era . " He could potentially find friends in the PSD , whose leadership announced after the first round of the election they would not endorse Dan against Simion in the runoff , leaving the door open to future collaboration with AUR . Yet that would be no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ party , of which the PSD is a member , is pressuring the Romanian party to avoid a coalition with Simion .

Northumbria Police is one of the largest police forces in the country and serves a population of almost 1.5 million people , covering some of the most deprived areas of the country . The inspection highlighted many positives within the force and in its policing , but some areas were raised for improvement . Here are some of the key findings from the report : The report found that the force needs to reduce the time it takes to answer emergency calls The force has improved in this area since the last inspection but is still below the 90 percent standard expected of forces nationally . The force also has a low abandonment rate of non-emergency calls and has reduced the number of non-emergency calls where the caller hangs up before a handler answers it . The force does n't always identify repeat victims but does usually check for vulnerable victims Call handlers use a structured process that considers threat , harm , risk and vulnerability . However , they do n't always identify repeat victims , which means that they are n't always @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ response the force should give . In some cases , the force does n't respond promptly to calls for service and does n't always respond within set time frames . It does n't always inform victims about delays , which means that victims ' expectations are n't always met . The force does n't always carry out effective or " thorough " investigations either . In most cases , the force carries out investigations promptly and completes relevant and proportionate lines of enquiry . It does n't always supervise investigations well but regularly updates victims . The force needs to improve its oversight and governance of coercive powers , the report found . Inspectors found gaps relating to several aspects of how the force monitors and manages stop and search and the use of force . They found that the force had an inconsistent approach to deploying officers to operational duties while their training was out of date . The force has brought in additional audit and quality assurance processes in relation to stop and search and the use of force , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or observing body-worn video of these encounters . Some sergeants told inspectors that they were n't aware there was an expectation to carry out these reviews . The report did find officers understand the use of stop and search powers and use them fairly and appropriately , but may be missing safeguarding opportunities when carrying out stop searches on young people . The report found the force needs to improve its response to calls for service , update the callers about delays and effectively supervise deployment decisions . The force has made a distinct improvement in answering 999 emergency calls promptly . In the year ending 31 October 2024 , it answered 86.7 percent of its 999 calls within 10 seconds . The force has steadily improved performance on this measure and in November 2024 , met the required 90 percent standard for the first time . It has also reduced the time it takes to respond to emergency incidents . The force needs to maintain its focus on improving the service it provides , the report said . A shortage of qualified detectives in these teams , alongside vacancies in existing posts , worsens this situation . The level of demand makes it difficult to carry out thorough investigations and support victim contact effectively . Inspectors concluded that the force needs to address this situation as it is having a negative effect on the success of investigations and on workforce well-being . Some personnel told inspectors they were waiting to move out of safeguarding teams , having secured posts in other teams , and that these moves were being delayed . Sickness absence throughout safeguarding teams is higher than average for the force . The force has improved its performance in processing submissions of digital devices to the forensic unit for examination , but there are still delays . The force has implemented a digital forensic improvement plan , which includes a proposed increase in staff numbers in the unit . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that victims were consulted before the outcome was finalised in 44 of 44 cases . The victims ' views were considered in 42 of 43 cases . Overall , it was found the force provides an appropriate level of service to victims . The force needs to make more use of preventative orders to safeguard victims . In the year ending September 2024 , Northumbria Police recorded the highest number of domestic abuse-related incidents across forces in England and Wales . It recorded 52,316 incidents , which equates to 35.3 domestic abuse-related incidents per 1,000 population . Despite this , the force is a low user of Domestic Violence Protection Orders , which are designed to protect victims . The force acknowledges that it needs to do more to support the effective use of protective orders . It has recently introduced a new post of ' orders sergeant ' . The report also found that the force works effectively with other agencies to safeguard victims of domestic abuse through the multi-agency risk assessment conference process . Operation Aegis is a force initiative to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ low risk to the victim . It works with victims or offenders who have recorded five incidents or more of domestic abuse over a consecutive three-month period . It aims to prevent domestic abuse taking place and offers diversionary activity and working with partner agencies to address the issues involved . Inspectors found that the force uses technology and advice to protect victims of stalking and harassment . The force should improve its governance of and approach to managing wanted and outstanding suspects , the report found . The force also effectively manages the risks posed by the most dangerous offenders and in the year ending March 2024 , there were 2,007 registered sex offenders in the force 's area . The force has a management of sexual offenders and violent offenders team that covers all registered sex offenders living within its area . The team has strong leadership , with effective governance and a good understanding of the risks involved in managing sex offenders . The team is well resourced and is now managed centrally . This has helped the force improve its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ child abuse images in line with nationally recognised risk assessment time frames and works effectively to safeguard children . |

However , they do n't always identify repeat victims , which means that they are n't always @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ response the force should give . In some cases , the force does n't respond promptly to calls for service and does n't always respond within set time frames . It does n't always inform victims about delays , which means that victims ' expectations are n't always met . The force does n't always carry out effective or " thorough " investigations either . In most cases , the force carries out investigations promptly and completes relevant and proportionate lines of enquiry . It does n't always supervise investigations well but regularly updates victims . The force needs to improve its oversight and governance of coercive powers , the report found . Inspectors found gaps relating to several aspects of how the force monitors and manages stop and search and the use of force . They found that the force had an inconsistent approach to deploying officers to operational duties while their training was out of date . The force has brought in additional audit and quality assurance processes in relation to stop and search and the use of force , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or observing body-worn video of these encounters . Some sergeants told inspectors that they were n't aware there was an expectation to carry out these reviews . The report did find officers understand the use of stop and search powers and use them fairly and appropriately , but may be missing safeguarding opportunities when carrying out stop searches on young people . The report found the force needs to improve its response to calls for service , update the callers about delays and effectively supervise deployment decisions . The force has made a distinct improvement in answering 999 emergency calls promptly . In the year ending 31 October 2024 , it answered 86.7 percent of its 999 calls within 10 seconds . The force has steadily improved performance on this measure and in November 2024 , met the required 90 percent standard for the first time . It has also reduced the time it takes to respond to emergency incidents . The force needs to maintain its focus on improving the service it provides , the report said . A shortage of qualified detectives in these teams , alongside vacancies in existing posts , worsens this situation . The level of demand makes it difficult to carry out thorough investigations and support victim contact effectively . Inspectors concluded that the force needs to address this situation as it is having a negative effect on the success of investigations and on workforce well-being . Some personnel told inspectors they were waiting to move out of safeguarding teams , having secured posts in other teams , and that these moves were being delayed . Sickness absence throughout safeguarding teams is higher than average for the force .

The force needs to make more use of preventative orders to safeguard victims . In the year ending September 2024 , Northumbria Police recorded the highest number of domestic abuse-related incidents across forces in England and Wales . It recorded 52,316 incidents , which equates to 35.3 domestic abuse-related incidents per 1,000 population . Despite this , the force is a low user of Domestic Violence Protection Orders , which are designed to protect victims . The force acknowledges that it needs to do more to support the effective use of protective orders . It has recently introduced a new post of ' orders sergeant ' . The report also found that the force works effectively with other agencies to safeguard victims of domestic abuse through the multi-agency risk assessment conference process . Operation Aegis is a force initiative to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ low risk to the victim . It works with victims or offenders who have recorded five incidents or more of domestic abuse over a consecutive three-month period . It aims to prevent domestic abuse taking place and offers diversionary activity and working with partner agencies to address the issues involved .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It involves the phrase 'get a kick out of seeing my shock', where 'seeing my shock' is a gerund phrase but does not involve a causee or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The verb 'get' here is used in a different sense, not as part of the transitive out of -ing construction.
